Experience viewing wild dolphins and turtles in their natural habitat. See wild spinner dolphins and feel their joy as they leap and play – you’ll swear they are showing off just for you! Then, we take you snorkeling on a beautiful reef known for the colorful coral, variety of fish, and turtles.
In our comfortable 30-foot Rigid Inflatable Boat, we travel to the waters off the west side of the Big Island to find pods of Hawaiian Spinner Dolphin. These acrobatic mammals love to jump and play – even riding in the bow wake of our boat!
After finding our dolphins, we head to a beautiful snorkel location where we will snorkel with turtles (Hawaiian honu) at “turtle cleaning stations” (an area of the reef where the turtles come hoping to get cleaned by the black and yellow tang fish). All snorkel gear and flotation devices will be provided. Cold drinks and snacks will be served after the snorkel.
You will see why this trip has been described as “beautiful”, “breathtaking”, “unique”, and “once in a lifetime”. Don’t forget your camera to capture memories to treasure forever.

Come aboard the Malaialena, a 30-foot rigid inflatable boat – the type of boat used by the Coast Guard and known as one of the safest. You’ll have a comfortable ride with padded seats, shade, and an upper viewing deck. Yes, there is a bathroom onboard too!
This intimate boat tour lets you view dolphins from a respectful distance. We’ve seen as many as 300 in a pod! Great photo opportunities as you watch the dolphins spin and show off and even riding the bow wake of the boat.
Please note that our company has chosen not to swim with dolphins as the laws have changed. It is illegal to purposefully swim with dolphins, and out of respect for the law and the animals, we want to offer a trip that is very respectful towards these amazing residential animals.
Please note that these are wild animals. We go to great lengths to find these animals, but as they are wild, none of the sightings are guaranteed.
