This isn’t your typical quick boat ride. It’s the kind of experience that stays with you. - Even though it was just a 3-hour tour, it felt like a full on adventure. Finding this tour was such a special find, unique, personal, and laid back from the start. Nothing felt rushed It was just us, the ocean, and good vibes. We went on the 11am tour and were lucky enough to see so many dolphins. It was magical! Our group included three adults and three kids, ages 13, 10, and 9. All strong swimmers and the first ones in the water, full of excitement. Makoa made the kids feel completely safe and at ease, keeping the mood fun while always in control. We had rented GoPros to capture the day, but Makoa offered to film everything for us. We hadn’t even thought of that, and it turned out to be the best decision. He caught all the special moments, so we could just enjoy. The footage was incredible and something we’ll treasure forever. Tip: bring sea sickness meds just in case. The water can get bumpy, but the views, the wildlife, and the calm of being out on the ocean make it totally worth it. If you’re looking for a short but unforgettable, family friendly ocean escape, this is it.

Must do activity while in Oahu! - What an incredible trip! Swam with dolphins (twice!), turtles and fish over coral reefs. Beautiful day and the guides were fantastic from start to finish. Highly recommend - it’s a more personal and custom small group experience (group of 7). Memories to last a lifetime!

Amazing! - We went out with Parker and Shonty(not sure if I spelled this correctly). Our first time in the water, I suddenly got water in my mask and ended up swallowing a bunch, then I panicked. I wasn't going to get in again, but Parker went out of his way to make sure I felt safe and comfortable and experience the dolphins like I have always dreamt of. I 100% recommend this trip to anyone! What anr amazing experience! Mahalo to you guys!

Magical experience with smaller group size - I chose a swim with wild dolphins experience due to this being unique to Hawaii. There are only so many places in the world you can do this. I chose the 7:30 booking due to calmer waters and greater possibilities of dolphin activity which is what online research showed. The tour guides were fun, friendly and knowledgeable. I was going to go with another larger company, but at the last minute I ran across this company online and I’m so glad I did. The smaller group was so nice and the boat was very comfortable. I’m not the best at snorkeling and it can be intimidating out in the deep Pacific waters. However the guides made us comfortable. We saw and swam with sea turtles and a ton of dolphins. I even got to hold a two different sea urchin varieties. It was absolutely magical and will be a wonderful lifetime memory.

Very special experience, swimming with wild dolphins! - Tim and Shanti were excellent, fun guides! They found tons of wild dolphins for us to swim with for a good length of time, and then we were off to snorkeling where we found giant sea turtles, sea, and octopus! The wild dolphin swim was a very unique and special experience, highly recommend!!!

AMAZING experience! - AMAZING experience. When we first started out, I was a bit concerned that I should have booked us on a larger boat- the larger boats had bathrooms and drinks/snacks on board, and ours did not. The water was a bit choppy as well, and I started to regret my decision as we were sprayed by the seawater. However, I quickly got over this when the crew announced that dolphins had been spotted and got us to them in a matter of minutes. I then realized that while on larger boats you might have to wait a LONG time before it was your turn to jump in with the dolphins, the HUGE bonus of having only 6 people on the boat was that we were able to get in with the dolphins within seconds of finding them. Seeing the dolphins in the water only feet away was so thrilling that I was able to get over my fear of deep water and enjoy the swim. Overall it was phenomenal and the two person crew was fantastic. Our diver made me feel very safe, even when a shark was discovered in the area we were snorkeling while looking for turtles. I would highly recommend this experience and would love to do it again if I were ever back in the area.
