I would not recommend it. It was expensive and unfortunately, no one got to see dolphins. We sailed non-stop for pretty much the entire 3 hours. I was told morning crews do get to see dolphins however afternoon crews don't. If afternoon crews don't, then they shouldn't offer it to begin with. It would have been nice if they informed me about it prior to booking this. They shouldn't charge an insane amount if not guaranteed. We got to snorkel for 30 minutes out of the 3 hours. It would have been nice if we got to snorkel for at least an hour.

We did see dolphins after much searching but would have enjoyed getting closer to them. The snorkeling involved jumping off the side of the boat when they had a staircase aboard that would have been much easier.

Seeing dolphins in their natural environment for the first time was amazing. The crew was very friendly and professional. It was fun to see the turtles when we were snorkelling, and watching the surfers riding the waves from the boat was great. Last but not least we had a delicious lunch. All-in-all a memorable day!!

This was the best dolphin excursion we have been on! The crew members were all very knowledgeable, friendly and fun. We got transportation from Waikiki to the boat and back. We were able to watch a pod of Spinner dolphins for 10-15 minutes, and they came right to the boat. The snorkeling was fun, and there was a photographer on board who took lovely photos we could buy after. Highly recommend this excursion!

The day was beautiful but the water was really choppy (I know that’s not the fault of the boat) so a few people were seasick. We spent way too much time looking for dolphins, and I wish we had more time to snorkel which would have helped relieve everyone’s seasickness. The boat that was used was small and the bathroom made the whole cabin smell due to no flushing. There’s no guarantee to see dolphins since THEY decide if they want to be seen ha, so it would’ve made more sense to stop the search in such choppy water and enjoy the snorkel more. The crew was great, super friendly and helpful. However the boat owner/excursion owner seems to have rules that don’t make a lot of sense for the passengers: why did we have to take photos before lol. I liked that they gave us traditional Hawaiian food though.

The crew was amazing, going out of their way to make sure all of us got to see dolphins, doing a 4th drop where we all got to see tons! We saw a whale, sea turtles and the crew engaged with us all.
