We totally recommend doing this trip while on the Big Island! It was the highlight of our vacation! Captain Ray and our guide Shelly were professional, knowledgable, and were gracious hosts. They approached the whole thing with respect for nature. To start the adventure, my wife and I met Shelly at the pier. Right away, she made us feel comfortable... More

Aloha Schroers! Thank you so much for your kind words. I think we are all excited to see the fabulous pictures you captured with your iPhone all dressed up in a dri-suit. Just fabulous. Best wishes for a great summer from the OneLove Team. More

My fiancée and I recently went on a trip with 2 other couples and took in a day aboard Captain Ray's boat to swim with some dolphins. The boat pretty new and Cpt Ray keeps it in amazing condition. We headed south from the marina towards Kona and found dolphins almost immediately. Shelley, our guide was very helpful and helped... More

My family & I had a great trip on the OneLoveOne Spirit last Tuesday 26th with Captain Ray and our Dolphin guide whose name I think was Shelley. My son who is 10 and daughter 15 came with us and were thrilled by the day. We went south first of all but couldn't find the dolphins so headed north towards... More

While in Kona call One Love One Spirit for a wonderful swim adventure. Captain Ray's boat is a beautiful, very comfortable and a joy to go out on. While out on the ocean you learn all about dolphins, how to swim with them and be courteous of the dolphins environment. Captain Ray knows the movement of the dolphins that inhabit... More

We recently experienced this dolphin swim in March. Capt Ray was absolutley the best host we've ever had. My eighteen year old son and I went with only one other passenger (4 others cancelled). Capt Ray was very professional and knew exactly when to get us in and out of the water. It's an experience we will never get, 5... More

We took this excursion on March 14, 2013, and it lasted from about 8:30 a.m. until noon. We can't say enough wonderful things about the captain, the guide and the experience. Captain Ray knows his stuff and is very accommodating, friendly and a great host. Our guide Shelly knows, loves and respects the water and the dolphins. This is who... More

Ray & Tina, Thanks for a great day, Ray gets a bit of a caining(spelling?) over his cleanliness of the boat in other reviews, however having grown up on boats, this was nothing out of the ordinary, "heres the deal at the beginning, stick to it & you have no problem", and the next person gets to see and enjoy...

Wonderful trip on a nice vessel with a knowledgable, congenial and helpful crew. Really a memorable day. The fairly close encounter with a pod of humpbacks was an unexpected bonus.Bravo Zulu.

The day started out "slow" with sightings of a Monk Seal and a few whales. But the real winner was how Captain Ray tracked down a superpod of dolphins. Joni took us into the water and gave us tips on how to engage the dolphins. Joni clearly has some of her own dolphin blood as she effortlessly dove around 20... More

This was our first trip with OLOS and we thoroughly enjoyed it. A great boat trip and we were able to swim with lots of dolphins. Interesting to note that when we were in areas where there were a lot of dolphins there were other tour boats that were packed like sardine cans. The beauty of our trip was the... More
