We booked our tour with Dolphin Excursions once we had our flights booked to Oahu and schedule the mid morning tour due to us staying on the North Shore. We needed to be a the dock by 10 am, which worked perfectly for us. The tour not only included the swimming with dolphins (if we found any spinner dolphins) and... More

We booked onto the early tour which had us being picked up from our hotel at 5.20am. We got to the office and got sorted out with our snorkel gear and wetsuit (you can hire these for $10). We hadn't even left the harbour when we spotted a huge pod of dolphins - Jenna our guide was a bit hesitant... More

Before booking this I read many reviews and so many people said it was one of the most amazing things they did in life and on their trip. My expectations were so high! Maybe if I didn't read the reviews I wouldn't have left feeling a little unfulfilled. Our tour guide, boat driver, and photographer were all great and friendly.... More

We went on the early morning tour and saw sooo many dolphins. We swam with the spinner dolphins for about an hour then got back on the boat and went to another location where we saw a bunch of spotted dolphins. We had two brief swims with the spotted dolphins and it was awesome to see them jumping out of... More

I booked this for our second day on Oahu and we loved it! Jessica picked us up from the hotel and was very entertaining and informative on the ride there and on the boat. As we had our own snorkle gear when we got to their office we just had to register and order lunch. Then we geared up and... More

We chose the early excursion which starts at 6:30 am. This meant getting up at about 4:30 to shower and eat and driving an hour from Waikiki. After getting fitted with our snorkel gear we headed out to sea. We had not even left the bay and our guide pointed out about 10 dophin. We put on our masks and... More

This is an excellent tour to go on... Went today and got to swim with big pods of dolphins plus a lot of sea turtles. The staff were amazing, a big shout out to Ashley and KK... Would do again in a heart beat. A must do experience when visiting Oahu

I can't even begin to say what an amazing experience this was... most of the time swimming with dolphins is in a protected area with trained dolphins, which is Great because you can touch and play with them, but this experience is out off the shore in the wild blue ocean, seeing wild dolphins in their natural habitat.... There are... More

I loved this trip! It was the only tour we went on in the 5 days we were on Oahu - most of our time was spent on the beach, driving to the North shore, walking around Waikiki and relaxing. This was without a doubt the highlight of our trip! We were SO fortunate to have a great captain, a... More

We had a great day and swam with an unbelievable number of dolphins. The crew was very informative and upbeat and seemed very determined to give us the best possible experience. We also saw a whale with her calf and were able to swim with a number of adorable green sea turtles. I'd highly recommend this experience! (Do be sure... More
