Spotted Dolphins
The Aloha Ocean boat -- beautiful, spotless vessel.
Front to back...Shanti, Rebecca, myself and my fiancé
Honu! No filter or zoom here -- this photo was taken with my iphone under water and he was THAT close, along with a bunch of his friends.
Dolphins off the coast of Oahu -- we got to see baby dolphins too!

Book it now ! Shanti and Rebecca were our captain and co-captain on this ABSOLUTELY AMAZING bucket list item. They have so much love and knowledge for the land and sea. My fiancé and I will definitely book this same tour again because everyday is tour is different. This is NOT one of the 20 plus people boats where it would take more time to get off and on the boat than you'd be able to experience swimming with the dolphins and turtles! Definitely recommend the early morning tour, Trust us ! Worth getting up early...

DO IT! Shanti (captain) and Rebecca (guide/lifeguard) were incredibly joyful locals who shared their wisdom and love for the island and the sea. I'm older, and was attending alone -- if this is you, don't hesitate to jump in (literally)! They were welcoming, kind and super helpful, even getting on and off the boat in my not-so-graceful fashion. I joined a family of 4 also on the tour. This isn't the massive 30 person boat where it takes forever just to get everyone in and out of the water -- this is a small, custom experience. Nothing is guaranteed of course, but on our tour we watched spinner dolphins (illegal to swim with them) and jumped in two additional times to swim alongside pods of spotted dolphins. Then we headed off to an AMAZING up close and personal swim with a dozen turtles. Highly recommend taking the earliest tour for better odds. It was worth getting up early. :-) My only suggestion for the owners for a cherry on the cake? Maybe offer a little Hawaiian snack at the end of the tour -- a shared fresh pineapple or local banana bread maybe. Mahalo to Shanti and Rebecca for an amazing day! If you are comparing this to a hotel dolphin "experience" or to one of the larger operators, CHOOSE THIS.

This is an amazing intimate experience where you can chat with captain and crew- 1 captain and crew1 lifeguard Rebecca that gets in the water with you. I am single mom with 2 daughters and there was one other single mom and son on this tour so small group of 5- they are very knowledgeable and passionate about the dolphins and both captain and Rebecca didn't take an eye off of any of us while in the water we were very safe and well looked after- when my daughter had a hard time breathing through her mask and getting the hang of it Rebecca swam up immediately to assist. Would definitely do this again with this team!! Hands down best experience here on the Island to date and beautiful boat!!!
