What To Expect

Join us to see the Hawaiian Spinner Dolphin as they should be, Wild and Free! Let our naturalist guides take you on a journey that your whole family will enjoy and talk about for years to come. Including getting some great photo opportunities as the Hawaiian Spinner Dolphins leap and spin out of the water and snorkeling a pristine reef at the Captain Cook Monument. As we search for these beautiful creatures in the warm tropical waters, our crew will share their knowledge about our Dolphin’s life cycle, habitats, and behaviors. Nearly every day, year-round, we are able to encounter these beautiful animals in their natural habitat. You may glimpse their torpedo-shaped bodies darting smoothly through the waves, swimming and rolling in formation, like synchronized swimmers. Or you may observe a pod in the distance, leaping high into the air. After we’ve spent time viewing the dolphins we’ll cruise the coast line looking for other marine life. You’ll see sea caves, sea arches and learn Hawaiian History. We’ll end our day snorkeling at one of the best snorkeling reefs in the world, Kealakekua Bay, home of the Captain Cook Monument. Snorkel participants must have swim experience.
