Dolphin snorkel and swim review - I booked this experience mainly because my mom has always wanted to see and swim with dolphins in the wild. We were all a little nervous prior to boarding the boat just knowing we were going to be swimming in the open water, but all of the staff made us feel so comfortable and confident in our abilities to complete this excursion. The views were incredible and we were able to see so many pods of dolphins from the boat as well as from the water. This was definitely a highlight of our trip and that was all thanks to the amazing staff for making it possible.

Echo Location IRL?!? - What an unbelievable experience!! This tour was so much more than what I was expecting but in the best way possible! Big shoutout to the amazing and knowledgable staff (Alaina, Laura, & more) on board for making us feel so safe and comfortable. To Capt. Matt and Morgan for being amazing dolphin finders. Such a blessing and honor to be able to swim with the sea turtles and dolphins!! Getting to hear their echo location IRL?!? Chef’s kiss!! Unbelievable!!! A hui hou

Amazing experience - Really nice crew and amazing experience. My mother in law was worried about getting out and back on the boat after swimming and she loved how easy it was and how helpful everybody was. We were able to see dolphins, turtles and different fishes during the tour.

Lots of dolphins. - It's Golden Week after COVID-19, and it's been a while since I've traveled abroad. There were no Japanese around, so it was like I had come to travel abroad for the first time in a while. On the day, it was so chilly with the downpour that I almost wanted to cancel, but I'm glad I joined. When we left, the rain stopped completely, which was a relief. The dolphins could swim together at the head of the boat, it was really soothing, there was a simple hot water shower and the snacks were really good. I would also like to participate in a different season if I get the chance.

come away with me - Mahalo Mahalo Mahalo to Team Poseidon! The most amazing 4 hrs at Oahu's western coastline. We were able to see a pod of spinner dolphins within 5mins of cruising. After a while, we were informed of spotting pilot whales by the direction we are heading to, we had the 1st/2nd jump off the ocean and they say these massive creatures (big in size after orca's) seldom show up. The crew ---Elena, Traviz, Hayato, Brooke, Abby, Jerome, Shanty and Matt (i hope i got all their names correct) were all professional, guides and helps you all the way, and keep everyone safe and ensures to enjoy every moment onboard. They feed you infos that are all useful, please listen on the safety instructions and ensure to respect the wildlife. Don't bring bananas, as they have this superstition that it will bring bad luck onboard. 3part will be the snorkeling, see the turtles and colorful fishes as well as enjoy other water activities such as the paddle boards and water slide. thank you for this wonderful experience Clap clap clap!!!

A fantastic experience with a great crew - The crew was fantastic from the moment the bus picked us up from our hotel to the moment they dropped us off. Our whole family had a blast. This was an experience we'll remember for a lifetime.

Dancing Dolphins - All hands and Captain were very friendly and helpful. Didn't get in the water for swim with Dolphins saw them from upper deck. Water in ocean pretty wavy. Few people got sick, recommend meds before you go. Snorkeled for 10 min saw a few of same trigger fish and one turtle. I would not do excursion again.

What a scam! - WHAT A SCAM!!! The best advice I can give you is to choose an other company! The boat is really crowded! We were 57 persons in it! It was not well organized! People was everywhere and it was impossible to swim without being smash by an other persons with the fins! We stayed around 5-10 min only in the water to see the dolphins and we did not even close to see one…we had to go back in the boat after this 5-10 min…without seeing any dolphins! The the return in the boat was chaotic with all the waves and the current with only one ladder for 57 persons! Afin this 5 minutes dive, with did not dive again…it was the only dive…when we booked the tour, we were supposed to have 2 dives minimum! The other boats from the other compagnies was still in the water and it was possible to see the dolphins around their boats…it was frustrating! Afterwards, we came closer to the shore and we did a very quick snorkeling…around 20-25 minutes then we had to come back in the boat! The snorkeling was quite good! We see only one turtle but it was way too short! The tour guides was also saying many times during the tour to give them a 5 stars rating on internet in exchange of a gift (a dolphin sticker) The rating that is showed is probably overrated because of this…don’t get scammed! I really dont recommend this tour! Don’t waste your money and your time on that tour!
