Amazing! - If you are planning a trip to Hawaii definitely keep Aloha Ocean Tours in mind. We did a semi-private tour and it was nothing short of amazing. We had Lauren and Shelly as our guides. They were both so helpful, educational and polite. All around amazing! They were great with our toddler and helped so much when we were jumping into the Ocean for each adventure. We’ve swam with dolpins before in tanks but never out in the wild, in the open waters. This was something new for us and we couldn’t wait!!! The crew made sure of our daughters safety along with everyone else’s as well! Can’t lie staring out onto all that blue open water, I was like okay here we go. Not going to lie when we jumped in we were are like “oh geez what are we gonna see” haha. The sweetest part our guide said she had never seen anything like this before that usually once folks jump in the baby dolphins swim away well I guess when they saw our daughter they said “one of us, one of us” haha and swam towards her out of curiosity! We didn’t get any pics from the dolphin swim but wouldn’t have had it any other way it was literally us soaking it all in, living in that moment. On top of the dolphin swim & seeing many beautiful sea turtles. The ladies topped it off by also finding us some humpback whales that we got to have some once in a lifetime close encounters with. It was all around amazingly beautiful & thrilling to say the least. I could go on and on but I definitely would recommend them 100x to any and everyone! Having a semi-private tour I believe was more personal than booking with other companies with larger groups. Well worth it! Loved every second of it.

Great tour with great guides! - This tour was just incredible! Loved the guides and small group size. We saw tons of wildlife and the scenery was spectacular. Boat was very comfortable and well cared for and Shanti and Parker were fun, and professional and kept us safe on our adventure. Highly recommend this tour and will be back again! Mahalo! 🤙🌈🐳

Great experience! - This was a great small group experience!! We got to see spinner dolphins, whales and swam with spotted dolphins. Santi and Rebecca were amazing tour guides. Highly recommend this tour!

This was a great dolphin... - This was a great dolphin swim tour with Shantii and Parker. They were very friendly and made sure we had a great time. We were able to snorkel with a large pod of pilot whales.

Dolphin Experience of a Lifetime - We had the most majestical experience diving with the dolphins. The crew: Shantii and Rebecca were amazing! So kind and knowledgeable. The boat was in tip top shape and was impeccably clean. This trip was the highlight of our trip! We can’t wait to go back out with them again!

Hop on board - you will not regret it! - Highly recommend this tour, it is worth every penny! Shanti and Parker went above and beyond to make this experience the best for all of us. They were not only fun, nice and easy-going but also very informative about whales, dolphins and sea turtles. We are a happy bunch of Icelanders who got to swim with dolphins and sea turtles, truly a dream come true here in paradise! Thank you for everything! Mahalo!

The best tour guides in OAHU! 🌸🙏🏼🌸 - If you want the best tour in Oahu - look no further. Shanti and Rebecca were incredible. Their energy and presence was just what the doctor ordered. Captain S was stellar - guiding us to see a male whale heat run! 🐳 even in some choppy waters. Was a fantastic 🎢 ride! 🌊 Rebecca’s knowledge, guidance and delightful Presence touched our hearts. 💕 Mahalo 💕🌸🐳♾️ I will be back! Keep up the stellar work !!!

great experience on and in the water - Lauren and Rebecca were the best. They knew their way around and explained everything to us. We saw dolphins and jumped in right after. We did that 3 more times and saw them underwater too! They let us decide if we want to go in one more time or go to the snorkel spot which was nice. Later at the snorkel spot we saw some turtles and a lot of fish. Amazing experience!!

FANTASTIC but do not recommend photo package if you - We had a fantastic time on the dolphin tour. Captain Shanty and Rebecca are great at what they do. Very kind and warm people who love what they do. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is we haven't received our photo package for $100. We were told we'd receive it before the New Year but still have not gotten it. We also have not gotten a response back in 4 days when I followed up which I do not appreciate. I got my full wedding package photos and videos quicker than this tour which is interesting. I would highly recommend the tour but not the photo package unless you're willing to wait for a long time. As we were on vacation we were looking forward to our photos and sharing it with our loved ones and was told we'd receive it at a certain date but they didn't follow through with it which was disappointing.

Do Not Get Photo Package! - I am writing this review only because of the bad experience we got from getting the $100 photo package which we paid in cash upfront. We did the activity on December 28th and up until now January 8, 2025, we haven’t received our videos/ photos from the photographer which is a crew member. We have been calling and texting her but she wouldn’t reply. We even tipped her an extra $100 on the day of the activity!🫠
