We take you swimming and snorkeling with dolphins during the day and with the angelic manta rays after sunset. All meals, snacks, drinks and snorkel gear are provided for you, as well as a swim support crew member who is in the water with you at all times. During the winter season, we take you out on our boat to see the magnificent Humpback whales. In addition, we snorkel around beautiful reefs, and can take you hiking around Volcanoes National Park and Pololu Valley. We also offer very exclusive, week long transformational retreats in March and September. « less

Amazing day with Captain Nancy, Debra, Pete and Stephanie. Words cannot express how wonderful the experience was for me, I had waited a lifetime to do it and it was more than worth the wait. Nancy and her crew are kind, caring and simply fabulous! If you are headed to Kailua-Kona, you can't miss this! I will be going back... More

The Dolphin Journeys trip we took with Captain Nancy and crew was fantastic! Our incredible experience of swimming with wild dolphins was made even more enjoyable by the friendly and knowledgeable staff, the high quality snorkel equipment, and the personal attention paid to every guest. We even had the added bonus of seeing two huge manta rays below us. We... More

Excellent!!! Captain Nancy and her crew were Really Wonderful on our recent trip to Hawaii. Jan was incredibly helpful when one of us (me) was surprised at the depth of the water and needed a helpful hand and some encouragement to make it back to the vessel, and then return to the water after a few minutes. The Manta Ray's... More

I did a lot of research before we left and they were the best and proved it! Our Captain Mike and Guide Pete were very knowledgeable and had so much experience that we were... More

We just returned from our trip to Kona and I wanted to share my exceptional experience with Dolphin Journey's day trip. Nancy and Jan were just great, so much knowledge of the sea and the Dolphins. It was a great experience and I would highly recommend them to anyone who wants the pleasure of swimming with Dolphins in the open... More

More than one excurcion can highlight vacations, but this one was so special to share with my family it highlights our lives together. Captain Nancy and her crew knew how to customize and provide professional service while keeping it personal and letting it happen. They were so attentive to the needs and questions of my children that our 8 yr... More

My girlfriend and I did the Dolphin Encounter trip with this company. We had really high expectations for the trip and were fired up to swim with the dolphins. The first swim we did was amazing and we really enjoyed ourselves. We got to swim with a mom and a baby dolphin right away! Where I felt the trip fell... More

We saw dolphins! We swam with dolphins! And I mean A LOT of dolphins...like 100! We saw 6 whales! They spouted! They humped! They flipped their tails! Captain Nancy was perfect. Very mellow, and very clear about how to interact with the wildlife (and the boat). The boat only takes 6, so it was a small group. Also, Nancy made... More
