My teen daughter and I went out for the dolphin tour. The tour started when we utilized their shuttle service. Keely was on the shuttle to welcome us, go over the details and offer photo package. He did a really good job of taking our photos in and out of the water. We got to see some dolphins and a few turtles while we were out. While sitting on the bow, I was just shooting the breeze with Bem about boat life and stories from time working on a ferry. Real nice guy. We enjoyed our time swimming in the ocean and meeting new people. I would recommend this tour for anyone.

his all stat crew of Kaena, Cyre, Kirra, Jerry, Alec, and Keely was unbelievable. They went above and beyond to help us and cater to our needs. The tour was unbelievable, the boat was nice, and we spotted many, many dolphins! I had loads of fun and if you’re in Hawaii and don’t know where to start, this is where I’d recommend! Shout out Keely for doing the job of both tour guide, assistant, and Japanese interpreter! 5 stars to this wonderful crew!

Amazing experience! From pick up to drop off! Staff was professional, courteous, helpful, and genuine!!! Captain Danny guided us as we witnessed two different spiecies of Dolphins, experienced great snorkeling 🤿, and even a majestic sea turtle! One pod had over 100 Dolphins swimming leaving the spectators in awe. We had the pleasure of having Kayla serve as a AWESOME translator/host/photographer and even medic(she helped With the purchase of last minute motion sickness bracelets). She caught great action pics, forever thankful! The staff was attentive, outgoing, they supported with all the water sports kayak, paddle boards, history, lunch, and even a super fun slide!!! This crew helped a dream vacation be just that… A DREAM!!! Can’t wait to return! Thank you so much 😊 🫶🏽! 🤙🏼 !!! Bogarin 5! AB

My sister and I had the best time on this dolphin tour! It was such a fun way to celebrate the morning of her birthday. We got to see dolphins, snorkel, and even enjoy a quick hula show by two of the crew members, which was such a nice touch. One thing that really stood out was how amazing the crew was. I brought two waterproof cameras and gave one to my sister. When she got back on the boat, the camera slipped off her wrist and sank into the ocean. We thought it was gone for good! Keely immediately jumped in and spent several minutes searching for it. Even when it seemed like all hope was lost, other crew members joined in to help. Somehow, Keely found it! We were so thankful and honestly still can’t believe it. The crew went above and beyond, and their kindness made an already great experience even more memorable. Mahalo to Keely and the entire crew for helping make my sister’s birthday morning so special. 🌺🎉 We had an amazing time and would highly recommend this tour! 🐬🤿🌴☀️🌊 Mahalo! 🤙🏽 💛

We had an amazing time on the dolphin sightseeing and snorkeling tour! The crew was friendly, knowledgeable, and made everyone feel safe and welcome throughout the trip. Seeing dolphins in their natural habitat was truly unforgettable, and the snorkeling experience was incredible and we recommend getting the photographer Keely to take pictures for you came out awesome.

Staff was very welcoming, humorous, and made the most out of the current conditions, even when it was difficult to get a good view of some sealife such as turtles. Ingrid had a great sense of humor, was very kind, and did a good job hosting the tour; Keely was chill and did a great job with photography; Jerry was a great captain with a good sense of humor and would try his best to ensure we could see the dolphins as much as possible.

The crew was amazing! Great air conditioned bus from the hotel to the meeting spot. The staff was informative and entertaining! Tyler, Ben, Cyra, Faavae and captain Dani were unforgettable! Just when I thought we weren’t going to see any dolphins…there they were! The boat was so great and I had to do the slide multiple times! Would definitely recommend!

Mahea, capt danni, faavae, cyre, kainoe were such a fantastic crew! They made our third experience feel like the first time! I really loved the interactive Hula dance! A huge shout out to Tyler for capturing our favorite memories and taking the time to get our pics and set us up in pic ready poses! We will definitely be coming back for a 4th visit next time we come to Hawaii! Thank you all again!

We loved our Dolphins and You tour!! We were running a bit late but Tyler was great with communicating about getting us on the bus. Our driver Mahea was so flexible with meeting at another pick up location instead so that we were able to come on the tour. The boat crew were amazing and so helpful for anything we needed on the tour. Ingrid was so funny and very informative about Hawaiian culture and history. We were able to see a family of bottlenose dolphins and some sea turtles from the boat due to Captain Ben’s amazing boat driving skills. We also saw lots of fish and two turtles while snorkeling. Crye, Kainoa, and Faavae performed beautiful hula dances for us on the way back. The food was great, the crew was so friendly, and overall the tour was fantastic! Highly recommend taking a tour with this crew! They made the day go so smoothly and we were able to see and learn so much. Mahalo!

They were amazing and worked hard to make sure everyone had a great time. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Hawaii. Definitely a 5-star experience!

Great! Lauren was super helpful and patient with us while taking pictures. Definitely made sure we got them taken. The whole crew today was amazing! All very fun and chill. They waited for us so we could get on before they left (we were wrestling with our clothes in the public bathroom to change). Ben, Cyra, Danny, and the rest of the crew were so sweet and friendly. Made sure everyone was safe and that everyone saw some wildlife today. We saw a huge pod of spotted dolphins, a manta ray, turtles, humuhumunukunukuapua'as, and many other fish! They were on a mission to make sure we saw something today! Love that they reminded all of us and explained reef-safe sunscreen! It's very important to keep the island clean and safe! Especially the reefs. They also made sure to grab any trash they saw floating and gave us some Interesting facts about the animals. I was so suprised that they had prescription goggles for snorkeling! I cannot see at all without my glasses so this was a real treat! I got to see everything in 4k. 10/10 would reccomend this company. Safe, Ethical, Friendly, and definitely worth the money.

Rachel Jung

I went on the dolphins an you tour with an amazing crew! We saw some really cute spotted dolphins which followed the front of the boat as we sailed, there was also a baby turtle, and a good amount of fish swiming under us. It was an amazing experience, and a huge thank you to Lauren, Srya, Ben, and Nolan!!! And an extra shout out to Lauren who made sure we took some awesome photos (and was very nice)!!

Chris Skalski

We had a great time on the action packed 3 hour tour with the help from a very friendly crew. We saw a bunch of dolphins with several jumping and spinning, turtles and monk seal. Our kids loved the water slide and we all enjoyed snorkeling and seeing several fish species. The hula dancing was fun and put a smile on our faces. Shout out to the crew of Captain Dani, Cyra, Ben, Kena, Karra, Keely and anybody I may have forgot for leading this great trip. Mahalo!

Will book this tour again, great time with great people. Ben, Kaena, Cyrae, Keely, and Dani were an amazing crew, learned a lot and the vibe of the whole trip was excellent. It was a joyful way to spend the morning, we saw 3 species of dolphins, swam with turtles, and the waterslide was a ton of fun. Would highly recommend!

Such an incredible experience and so much fun!! We saw whales, dolphins, and turtles which was great, but the staff on the boat were incredible! Their energy was awesome, and my kids and I loved every second. We went on another whale tour yesterday, and it was nothing like this! We will definitely come back!

Melissa Cunningham

This tour delivers! Spotted dolphins, spinner dolphins, green sea turtles, an assortment of colorful fish, coral, and even a moray eel peeking out of its cave. Brandon helped me find 3 sea turtles as they surfaced from the cave. Keeli was a great guide and photographer; however, his tattoo skills need work 😉

We had a great time on with this tour company. We saw multiple dolphins, turtles, and even whales. It was an incredible experience! Next time we come back we will be using this tour company again.

Kilinahe Neuman

Ride was cherreh! Went on the morning cruise and Dani took care of us! Saw a bunch of dolphins and some were jumping out of the water. Towards the end we saw a triple whale breach and captain Dani drove the boat close for us to see. Front of the boat is the place to be! They played good local music and crew Brandon, Kainoa, and Ben had good energy you could tell they had a good bond and had good fun. I’m born and raised on Oahu and this tour was still good fun for me as a local to see that kine animals really close. Turkey sandwich is good if you like the veggies that come with it. Good folks along board and the whole boat crew took care of us.

Alec was the smoothest bus driver ever, no issues sleeping on the ride to the dock. Keely was the best at instructing everyone on the tour - ensuring our safety and bringing the energy and vibes to the crew. He also captured the most clear and beautiful water pictures ever! Kirra and Cyre were the sweetest hula dancers and Cyre did a great job at MC as well as Keely. Kaena was so inviting and supportive helping everyone out! Captain Dani drove the boat so well, no motion sickness at all and we were able to see so many dolphins, turtles, fishies and also a monk seal! The whole crew was super friendly it almost felt like we were apart of the island gossip. Dolphins

Great experience, saw lots of dolphins in their natural habitat, opportunity to swim freely, they had a kayak, paddle board and even slides. And Kiera, who was a trainee was absolutely amazing, ensuring while we were in the water we were safe and ok, and even helped some when they had trouble going to where they wanted or if they weren’t as strong of a swimmer. So even for beginners or people not experienced with water, this tour was great.

Today, June 6th, our entire day was overflowing with fun, laughter, and unforgettable moments. From the second we arrived at the Royal Hawaiian Ave meeting spot, everything started on the right foot. Our shuttle pulled up exactly at 6:20am, and that set the tone for how smooth and well-organized the whole experience would be. We were greeted by the sweetest young lady, Yoka, who instantly made us feel welcome. She impressed us right away — switching effortlessly between fluent Japanese and perfect English, making sure every single person felt included. She introduced us to the rest of the amazing crew: Ingrid, Tita, Kinoa, and the best captain we could’ve asked for. Once we boarded, they briefed us on safety and the local laws that protect the wildlife. Even though some of it sounded a little intimidating at first, the crew explained everything with such clarity and reassurance that we knew we were in good hands. And they were right — as long as we followed their guidance, the day was nothing but pure enjoyment. And wow… what a day. We saw multiple dolphins, turtles, and a whole variety of fish I’ve never seen before. The crew was incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and still full of humor and good vibes. They kept us laughing, learning, and enjoying every moment. Special shoutout to Tita and Kinoa — that dance at the end was the perfect cherry on top. We loved it. This tour wasn’t just good — it was memorable, joyful, and full of energy from start to finish. We’ll definitely be recommending this experience, and this crew, to all our family and friends.

We had an absolutely amazing experience on this dolphin tour and snorkeling adventure! From start to finish, everything was incredibly well organized, fun, and welcoming. The bus arrived right on time, the ride was smooth and comfortable, and the entire crew made us feel safe, relaxed, and at home throughout the whole trip. The highlight, of course, was seeing so many dolphins — including adorable baby dolphins! It was truly unforgettable. The snorkeling was also fantastic with plenty of beautiful fish to see, and we loved that the team took photos both underwater and during the snorkeling experience so we could fully enjoy the moment without worrying about capturing it ourselves. A huge shoutout to every member of the crew for making this such a memorable experience: - Mahea, our bus driver, made the trip comfortable and stress-free from the very beginning. - Captain Dani did an outstanding job leading the tour and making everyone feel safe on the water. - Cyre was amazing on the microphone, sharing so much interesting information about the dolphins, ocean life, and the tour itself in such an engaging way. - Faavay worked incredibly hard getting all the kayaks and paddle boards prepared and ready for everyone. - Ben was constantly helping people in the water, doing a ton of manual work behind the scenes, and always making sure guests were comfortable and taken care of. - Tyler was an incredible host from start to finish and took wonderful pictures throughout the experience that we’ll treasure forever. The crew’s energy was absolutely infectious, and the hula dance performance was such a fun and special touch that really made the experience feel authentic and memorable. This was easily one of the best experiences of our trip, and the entire team deserves recognition for the care, effort, professionalism, and positivity they brought every single moment. Highly, highly recommended — a true 5-star experience!

maureen jacob

Amazing tour! The team of Captain Dani with Mahea, Cyre, Ben, Kainoa, and Tyler were great, went above and beyond! They made sure everyone was having fun and needs are being looked out for. We did Dophins and you but was so blessed to be able to see turtles and whales! Everything was easy and organized, bus ride is included in the tour where you will be picked up and dropped off, close to where you’re staying at. We also purchased the photo package and was worth every penny, would have had much better photos if I wasn’t so sea-sick (thanks to all the crew who kept on checking on me!) You guys are the best! So friendly and fun- shout out to Tyler who was so energetic all throughout the tour! 10/10 to everyone on this team!

James Zeller

What an amazing experience. To start off, Mahea got us there safely and back to our hotels! Captain Jerry was amazing, hilarious and made the trip so much fun! Brandon and Flo were very helpful and made sure everyone was safe in the water! Faavae and Cyre were very helpful handing out safety gear and snorkeling equipment as well as made sure everyone was safe in the water. The hula show put on by tje staff was amazing as well! Tyler was awesome! He took amazing photos and made sure he explained every single detail about the tour. The staff made they day when they found us dolphins and to top it off, they took us to an amazing snorkeling spot. Highly recommend doing this tour!

Melissa Kramer

Dolphins and You was the absolute highlight of our Hawaii trip! The shuttle picked us up right from our hotel, and the ride to the marina was smooth and comfortable. From the moment we arrived, everything was well organized and welcoming. Toshi was an amazing host, and the crew made the entire experience so much fun, especially Tita, who brought such great energy to the boat! The boat was spacious and comfortable, and even the lunch wrap was delicious. We were lucky enough to see dolphins, whales, sea turtles, and colourful fish 🐠 the slide was a blast! An unforgettable experience from start to finish. Mahalo for such a beautiful adventure! 🌺🌴❤️🙏

Vidhi Patel

I had the most fantastic time on the Dolphins and You tour! From the convenient pick up near my stay to the smooth experience on board and back, everything felt easy and joyful. A huge shoutout to the wonderful team: Dani the captain, Xyrae, Cyre, Flo, and Keely. Everyone was so energetic and welcoming. Xyrae kindly helped me with instructions in English since most guests were receiving them in Japanese, and I really appreciated the extra care. Both Flo and Xyrae checked in on me throughout the snorkeling! We spent the first hour spotting dolphins and saw so many spinner dolphins. We were lucky because they came right up to the boat. We even saw humpback whales and turtles. Snorkeling was fun, and simply floating in the water felt so calming. The water slide was a total hit. Also the turkey sandwich was SO fresh and delicious, definitely made with care! We ended the tour with hula dances by the crew, which was such a lovely touch. I highly recommend this tour!

Carreguin

My wife and I did the afternoon dolphin and whale watching snorkel and lunch tour, and we highly recommend it. Although we didn’t see dolphins, we saw many whales, which was absolutely breathtaking,especially since it was our first time ever seeing them. The views of the mountains and the calm, crystal-clear water made the experience even more memorable. The snorkeling, paddle boarding, and inflatable water slide were a blast. My wife can’t swim, but with the life jackets and floatation devices provided, she felt comfortable enough to snorkel and swim in deep water. The staff were truly amazing, including Lauren our photographer, Ben, the crew member with the pigtails, our captain, and everyone on board. They were friendly, fun, professional, and made the entire experience unforgettable. They even performed a local dance and got the whole boat dancing. Lunch was fresh and tasty, drinks were ice cold, and the trip was very well organized. We strongly recommend the Waikiki hotel pickup package,they were on time and sent clear pickup details with a map and photo. The photo package is also worth it so you can enjoy the tour without worrying about your phone. Well worth the money and time. This was easily one of the best tours we did in Hawaii.

Family Friendly

Fun and comfortable for all ages—from kids to grandparents

💯 recommend this tour to all families!

Shoutout to the dream team crew!!! Our driver Mejia, Captain Jerry, Ben, Kainoa, Tita, Kioka and Tyler!!!!! 🙌🏼 My kids and I booked this hoping to see dolphins and snorkel and have a great day. After that last Kona storm leaving the water conditions unsafe we were unable to snorkel. It was cold and rainy and we were just happy to be out and the tour wasn’t canceled. We had 2 previous booked excursions cancel do to bad weather the days prior. We were absolutely amazed and surprised we saw a humpback and her baby and they breached multiple times very close to the vessel! The crew said this has never happened before and it was amazing! Captain Jerry was the greatest he even let my son and daughter drive the boat while we were looking for whales! That was probably the highlight of our entire trip to Oahu for him! (He is 10). The entire crew were so friendly and lively I wish we had more time to book another tour with them. I will definitely be back to Oahu and will book with them most definitely!!!! I can’t say enough good things about this crew and the experience they have given my family!!!! So glad we found them!!!🙏🥰

Before we even got on the bus to return to the hotel, my 11 yo asked if we could do it again. We saw 2 types of dolphins and although wild luck didn’t bring us turtles, the free play with snorkeling and slide were great. Good music, great views, cool vibes. Even bus was more comfortable and cleaner than most. Alll great staff, from Captain Jerry to photographer/host Kili to trainee, driver, and boat staff.

The dolphins and you tour was great! The entire team had great energy and was very sweet and accommodating, even to our 2 year old. We especially appreciated Tyler, who took family photos and led our bus tour. He was amazing! We did see dolphins, and snorkeled with fish. The only thingies wished was that we had been able to swim with the dolphins as well, but that’s not the tour for this, fyi.

We hit the dolphin and turtle jackpot with Dolphins and You! Captain Dani and her crew were simply the best. Excellent hospitality! They taught us the Hawaiian chant as we set off in search of dolphins, and just a few minutes out to sea we saw them! We saw a whole family (pod) of spinner dolphins. At least 40 of them. We followed them until we went searching for humpback whales; saw at least three humpbacks! Thrilling to see them from the boat. The crew was VERY entertaining; Ben, Brandon, Kaioa, and Pele. My favorite was Brandon teaching us all to Hula. Very COOL!!!! Tyler did great with photos; he was working hard to get good picks the whole time. Thanks Tyler! Then we went to the turtle snorkeling spot and again, this crew exceeded expectations!! The snorkle gear was great! Very safe. My wife and I and our 18 year old daughter were on the trip, at least a dozen younger kids were on the trip with their families. All the kids got in the water. They were loving the slide. Saw and swam with several turtles including a couple of really big ones! Very beautiful. The water was pretty clear today. Lots of tropical fishes. We saw Yellow Tang, Sergant Majors, Pufferfish, Triggerfish, and many more! It was an amazing trip! Thanks Dolphins And You!!!

Robert Curcio

We had a great time. We are a family of 12 ranging from 2yrs old to 74yrs old and we all had fun. We got to see turtles, swim by dolphins, and saw a whale! The slide into the water was an absolute blast! The crew were amazing and we would highly recommend them all!

Fantastic experience! We drove to the marina with plans to stay in the area after the tour. We went on the morning tour. Great humor, weather and crew! We saw whales, turtles, tuna, something spinning and jumping across the water, along with the anticipated dolphins. Snorkeled, went down the waterslide, jumped off the boat, paddle boarded, and simply enjoyed the sun. Will be recommending this to family and friends!

We had an amazing dolphin and whale watching tour! From pickup to drop-off, everything was smooth and well organized. Driver Maheya did a great job, and a big shoutout to Captain Dani, Fava, Ben, Brandon, and especially Tyler for making the experience unforgettable. We saw so many dolphins and even whales, which was incredible. My daughter absolutely loved the slide, and it was one of the highlights of the trip for her. Tyler took tons of great photos, and choosing the photo package was 100% worth it. Highly recommend this tour for families—fun, professional, and truly memorable!

I've been to Hawaii many times, but this was my first time on this tour. I took my 5-year-old and 8-year-old children with me, and they had a great time on the water slides and snorkeling! We got to see dolphins, Hawaiian monk seals, sea turtles, and even whales up close. It was such a valuable experience and a very memorable one. Thanks to our driver Manny, who picked us up and dropped us off, Aya, who took our photos, and our captain Danny, it was the best trip ever! Photography is optional, but it's definitely worth it. We took lots of memorable photos in the ocean and on the boat. Thanks to the photos, we were able to see so many things with our own eyes and enjoy them! Thank you so much! We'll definitely participate again!
