Love the baby dolpjins - Great trip. The whole staff was amazing. Only wish we saw more dolphins up close. Only saw one turtle while in the water. I would have like to stayed at the dolphins longer

A magical day out! - A truly wonderful experience! Rebecca, Laura and Ally were super friendly and made the experience extra special with their humour and knowledge. We saw so many dolphins up close and in the water and it felt truly unique and magical. We also saw turtles and even a monk seal! There’s not too many people on this tour so it feels quiet and really quite magical. Thank you so much to the lovely ladies on board, keep up the amazing job!

Awesome Dolphin and Turtle Adventure - Ally, Ken, and Rebecca were excellent guides and very helpful. Got to swim with tons of dolphins and see many turtles. Snorkeled the whole time and it was a blast. It was a great time.

12/10 Experience! Can't Wait to Return - From the time we signed up for the tour, we were treated with the BEST customer support. We received phone calls to confirm our information and pickup, then the transportation to the tour was GREAT!
The tour itself with Captain Lauren and Rebecca blew us away. What amazing value and fun for the cost. We swam with dolphins, turtles and beautiful fish. Cruising along the coastline listening to great music was a dream. And Lauren and Rebecca went out of their way to make sure our crew had the best time. Would highly recommend booking the speedboat with them.

Magnificent memories - My tour was Dolphin Warrior. Un’esperienza incredibile! We saw the dolphins already leaving and so we were already happy, but then we went to look for them in the open sea where we swam together on two occasions! We managed to take pictures and videos with them, and we saw them jump! Then we moved to a known area where there were fish and 5 sea turtles in the water! An experience that will remain forever! Alicia and Rebecca guided us with confidence and sympathy, Minako and the other young guide escorted us and also created a great photo (and video) package - not included but highly recommended!

Can we stop and get coffee? PLEASE! - The dolphin tour was perfect! Rebecca and Captain Matt were exceptional . Hayato and Minako were hospitable. Abdi, our driver was gracious as hell. He let me get coffee at our last stop before leaving Waikiki. It was 6:00 a.m. and I hadn’t had any coffee because I didn’t want to be late.
I strongly recommend this group!
