Big Island of Hawaii
I only list dolphin tours that do it right, watching from the boat rather than dropping swimmers on resting pods. Spinner dolphins hunt all night and come into Kona’s bays to sleep, which is why approaching within 50 yards is against federal law. You’ll still see plenty of spinning, and most trips add a snorkel stop where the fish are wide awake.
Experience the thrill of speed boating while snorkeling with dolphins and whales in the beautiful Big Island of Hawaii. Book your adventure now for 2024!
