Waikoloa Dolphin Viewing & Turtle Snorkeling

Located just minutes from the resorts at Waikoloa, come and experience viewing wild dolphins and turtles in their natural habitat. This trip has been described as “beautiful”, “breathtaking”, “unique”, and “once in a lifetime”. To see a wild dolphin in its natural environment shouldn’t be missed


What to Expect

Enjoy wild spinner dolphins from the boat to see them swimming in their natural environment. We’ve been able to see 300 dolphins in a pod!

This environmentally respectful tour teaches our guests ways we can respectfully interact with these amazing creatures without disturbing their behavior.

After the dolphin encounter, we take you snorkeling on a beautiful reef known for the colorful coral, variety of fish, and turtles. *Don’t miss out on the opportunity to witness a turtle getting cleaned at a turtle cleaning station (yes, like a turtle car wash).
