Took my family on a dolphin, whale and sea turtle snorkelling excursion. Capt. Jerry, Logan, Jeremy, Sway (sorry, I know I’m forgetting a couple names) were incredible. Knew everything you could want to know about the ocean, made sure everyone was having fun. Top notch day with top notch crew!!

Dolphins and You" offers an amazing experience that blends adventure, education, and fun, making it a standout activity in Hawaii. The tour not only highlights the beauty of dolphins but also provides an opportunity to enjoy and learn about the marine ecosystem. Two individuals who truly made this experience unforgettable are Quinn and Ano'i. **Quinn:** From the start, Quinn's enthusiasm was infectious. Their extensive knowledge of dolphins and the marine environment added a fascinating educational component to the tour. Quinn's ability to share this information in a fun and engaging way made learning enjoyable for everyone on board. **Ano'i:** Ano'i's friendly and approachable nature ensured that everyone felt welcome and at ease. Their expert spotting skills meant we saw plenty of dolphins and other marine life. Ano'i's passion for marine conservation was evident, and they made sure that the tour was both enjoyable and respectful of the environment. A particularly fun part of the tour was the chance to snorkel and swim with sea turtles. This added an extra layer of excitement and allowed for close encounters with these gentle creatures. Both Quinn and Ano'i made this experience safe and thrilling, guiding us through the best spots and ensuring we had an unforgettable time. "Dolphins and You" is not just a tour; it's an adventure filled with learning, laughter, and unforgettable moments. Thanks to the incredible efforts of Quinn and Ano'i, we left with lasting memories and a deeper appreciation for Hawaii's marine life. Whether you're looking to swim with dolphins, snorkel with turtles, or simply have a great time, this tour is a perfect choice.

We had 9 stops on this tour and it went from about 8:30 to 5. I chose it because it included several places not easily reached by The Bus. The food was great, especially the malasadas, the shrimp lunch, and the samples of coconut pudding and kalua pork. My favorite stops were the Blowhole and the macadamia nut farm. Our guide, Kanako, was great. She was very knowledgeable and friendly, and shared so much of the island. Our driver, Jim, was also very good and friendly.
