Great experience!

Me and my husband had an amazing time on this trip. We had really good luck and saw dolphins, a turtle and manta rays. The people that ran the tour did a great job. They educated us about the area and made sure all of our snorkel gear was working property. There was plenty of water and snacks provided. Would recommend this experience to anyone!
A must do adventure!

The Captain and crew were very attentive to everyone's needs. Great trip, amazing history, beautiful snorkeling, and very customer focused crew. The fresh delicious pineapple and oranges after snorkeling was just a perfect treat. We also saw dolphins and one of the babies put on a show for us!! Must do tour on the big island.

The captain and his deck hand were incredible! Professional, polite, very knowledgeable about culture as well as snorkeling. He took the time to talk to all of us,
there were 9 of us on the boat, as we rode to our spot. I felt very safe with him in charge. We felt very fortunate that we booked with Dolphin! Would highly recommend!
Will book again

Two beautiful snorkeling stops!

We had a very small group as several participants canceled on short notice. When you check in they set you up with your snorkeling gear, then once they get the Zodiac launched, you head to the dock. We stopped at two beautiful snorkeling spots for about 45 minutes each and had snacks after each stop. The captain also stopped along the way at different lava formations from past eruptions, so we saw some lava tubes, caves, and arches. It was a wonderful experience and I recommend it highly!
Perfect excursion

Captain Manu and his daughter were great. She checked us in and got everyone set up efficiently and with thorough instructions. He was a highly skilled captain who took the extra time to show us interesting places. He provided a wonderful narrative story of the area and its rich history, raising awareness about Hawaiian culture. The snorkeling was excellent- beautiful calm bay with great visibility. Such beauty and wonder!
Great!

We always try to find the best snorkeling spots anytime we go somewhere tropical, this one is definitely towards the top of our favorites list! Captain Alan was very friendly and informative! The boat ride out to the bay was a blast and it was nice being with a smaller group. Mahalo to Dolphin Discoveries for the awesome memories!

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.
