Top Oahu Swim with Dolphins

Jim and Brandon were great, very knowledgeable and the experience was so much fun. We got very lucky and got to see a pod of spinner dolphins which was such a highlight. We also saw a turtle but they were a little shy that day. Overall very worth while and we got a great recommendation for dinner and the food was amazing. Thanks Jim and Brandon !

Every person on this tour created an unforgettable memory. If you're looking for a tour crew that won't pressure you to swim when you would rather enjoy the boat, this is the perfect team. They were kind, patient and respectful in every way. My sons have no issue jumping off a moving boat(it wasn't too fast, just not my tea) the adventure was super thrilling and perfectly safe as the crew looked out for everyone like a well oiled machine. My sons swam with beautiful dolphins, turtles and fish. One crew member brought an octopus to the surface for our group to hold. We weren't expecting a photographer to be on board; we were pleased by his perfect attunement to each group. Every photograph he took was both thoughtful and artful. Crew members played jokes, ukuleles and other music, pulling smiles from everyone. We went from being strangers to happy comrades in minutes. They served chips, drinks and lunch(not every tour offers this). Be aware: This venue is unable to accommodate for allergies. My family loved the food, but I have allergies. Even though I could eat the pork they couldn't prepare a meal without the other ingredients so I couldn't eat their meal. That said, I would not turn away from this tour. A monk seal greeted us in the harbor, the crew gave clear instructions and guidance. When I couldn't bring myself to join my husband and sons for the first attempt to swim with the dolphins, I was given dignity and space. After giving me time, many crew members gently asked if I was okay. They offered gentle suggestions then some options to try if I wanted to make the next attempt. The recommendations were less stressful and I was able to make a successful attempt in the next swim! I really owe it to a crew member who wasn't planning on swimming, she went with me. I felt so much better and was able to see the dolphins after all! Other guests offered words of support and kindness; I was grateful for their empathy. Our third snorkel spot was beautiful and I watched stress free from the boat without sea sickness triggered by my personal state of stress from earlier. My empathetic friends from earlier were troubled by sea sickness as were a few other guests; the experience was humbling to say the least. I've been on two other past snorkeling tours that left a bitter taste in their memory; this crew I will never forget, this experience was a healing one. The crew was full of fun, compassion and experience; they pulled us together in a private story that both I and my family will never forget. Mahalo friends

Such a cool experience. Accompanied by a marine biology graduate, we submerged over 100 feet to artificial coral reefs teeming with colorful fish while she described the habitat and species. We saw a sunken ship. A brief boat ride to the submarine and back over the beautiful waters off Waikiki was avplus.
