Itinerary
Swim with dolphins in Kona, on The Big Island of Hawaii.
In this small-group experience with a maximum of 12 passengers, you will experience wild Hawaiian Spinner Dolphins in their natural habitat.
We are the first dolphin tour boat out of the harbor in the morning, which allows us to deliver a more private, crowd-free experience.
Before entering the water, you’ll receive a briefing on our process to safely and humanely engage with the dolphins. We enter the water at least 50 yards from the dolphins, and we float in their presence as they choose to swim through our group. While in the water, the dolphins often come within inches of us, but we do not reach out and touch them. We simply float in their presence, avoiding overhand swimming or kicking when dolphins are nearby.
After 1-3 “snorkel drops,” time permitting, we may stop at another coral reef on the way home, for a chance to snorkel on Kona’s beautiful coral reefs.
This tour lasts a total of 3.5 hours.
