Spinner dolphins, monk seals - We saw spinner dolphins which gave us quite a show. There was more then 50 of them swimming right next to the boat but we weren’t lucky enough to swim with them, their behavior wasn’t for swimming with them that day. We also saw 3 monk seals which are endangered species, there is only about 1600 of them left in the world. We also swam with turtles which was fun. The crew nailed it, they did great in every way.

Swimming with dolphins - Amazing experience!! It was magic to swim with the dolphins. We not only saw them, but we also heard them talking in the ocean. The crew is very helpful, fun and caring. Highly recommended.

Terrible. - Pick up from Waikiki is at 5:30AM then you drive around to pick up a herd of people for an hour before you then drive another hour to the west side of Honolulu. After 2 hours of uncomfortable bus ride, you stand in a parking lot with NO bathroom access and no food or drink access. Then you finally board the boat where you drive around for 2 more hours without getting into the water. Maybe you see dolphins, maybe you do not, but at this point is it worth the 4 hours at that point? Then, after possibly watching dolphins from the boat, you just go back to the docking area where you actually snorkel for 30 minutes in murky water near rocks and minimal sea life. While snorkeling the boat starts to drift toward the rocks and the “captain” turns on the propellers with people in the water and near the boat. 7 hours round trip for 30 minutes of terrible snorkeling. Just snorkel in waikiki, save the time and the terrible dangerous experience. Oh yeah, you also sign a waiver saying that you cannot sue them (they turn on the boat with people in the water). The absolute worst experience I have ever had on similar tours. Look for smaller groups, much more pleasant.
