  Would highly recommend this! The boat was beautiful, Capt Doug and the crew Ian, Caden and SeaAnna were so much fun and so helpful! We had a great time!

  Great Crew, can’t remember names but they were super knowledgeable. We were able to see two types of dolphins, whales and while swimming, Hono. Highly recommend dry clothes or dry towel for afterwards because it’s a tad chilly for littles on the ride back.

  Great crew that has been doing this for years! Fun jumping off the boat and almost guaranteed to see the west side dolphin pod that hangs out in that area.

  We loved the snorkeling saw really cool fish and got to hold a sea urchin! Crew members super nice and friendly! Saw lots of dolphins as well which was spectacular!

  This is my third time in three years. I live in Hawai’i and still enjoy this tour. I have visited many places in the world and have done snorkel trips, but this location and Hawaii Nautical always passes well above my expectations. We have many friends and family visitors who come to Hawai’i to visit my husband how is from the mainland. We try to make their visit worth their while and have recommended many activities including this dolphin snorkel tour to a everyone who ask for recommendations. Each and every time the visitors have said their number one activity in terms or quality and amazing experience was Hawai’i Naurical dolphin excursion. So we decided to join the next few visitors. This is our third joining with visitors. We had seven in the group, including a 9 month old baby and a vegetarian. The crew was exceptional in accommodations. But most amazing was they took us to locations where we saw a pilot whale for about 15 minutes. Then we saw a half a dozen dolphins who decided to swim alongside the boar. A bill, a female and two babies. The crew was respectful and made sure we are not bothering the animals. But the experience was exceptional. A good 20 minutes. Then the snorkle experience and jumping off the boat. The taste meals (breakfast and lunch!). We were done by 12:30 pm so that we had a whole day to do shopping. I loved it. And I highly recommend it. Thank you to the crew. My husband was exceptionally generous with tipping them because we had such a deal! Two thumbs up!

  This tour was disastrous. The crew was completely uninterested in providing any guidance or help to make guests feel comfortable. They wanted everyone to possess expertise at swimming. Definitely not a recommendation for families and mixed groups.

  This is by far the worst experience of our Hawaii trip. I would strongly recommend keeping away from this tour at all costs. For starters, they require guests to be experts swimmers, though that is not clearly communicated at the time of booking. The crew was very unhelpful and had no interest in making it a good experience for guests. We had children in our group, who were left crying by the end of the tour. Total waste of money and time.

  Crew was very attentive and friendly. We have used Hawaii Nautical on multiple occasions and never been disappointed. We would book with them again, for sure!
