Kailua-Kona Trip Overview
We carry a maximum of 6 passengers so we can offer a more intimate dolphin snorkel experience than the larger “cattle boats” in Kona.
In addition to delivering a more private experience, our small group size allows for more time in the water. Our passengers are able to quickly enter and exit the water as we explore Kona’s amazing coral reefs.
If you book all 6 seats on any trip, you will have your own private charter. In addition to being the only party on the boat, you’ll be able to work with your captain to customize your trip to your liking. For instance, you’ll be able to decide whether to pick up and move to a new location or continue snorkeling in the same place (time and conditions permitting).
Don’t miss this opportunity to snorkel near wild Hawaiian spinner dolphins, in a private small-group experience that’s unmatched in Kona. Get ready to make memories that will last a lifetime!

Itinerary
Swim near wild Hawaiian spinner dolphins in the warm, crystal clear waters along the beautiful Kona Coast.
This dreamy dolphin excursion is centered around humane interactions with the Hawaiian Spinner Dolphin. As we exit the harbor, we’ll watch for dolphins that regularly ride our boat’s bow and play in our wake. Then, we’ll head up the coast to search for a pod of dolphins that typically numbers between 50 and 200. Once we find the pod, we’ll analyze the dolphins’ behavior to determine whether it’s an appropriate time to enter the water.
As we prepare to enter the water, our captain and crew will educate your party about our environmentally cautious approach to sharing the ocean with wild dolphins.
Upon entering the water at a safe distance from the dolphins, your swim guide will guide you into an unforgettable experience.
While we see dolphins more than 95% of the time, they are wild animals and we can’t guarantee that we will see them or enter the water near them.
Time permitting, our experienced captain may lead you to another coral reef to snorkel amongst lava tubes, sea caves, and abundant sea life. On a typical day, we snorkel at one or two different locations.
