What if I can't swim well?
The tour guides are great with guests of all abilities, and every guest is outfitted with a life vest to stay afloat. Some prior swimming and/or snorkeling experience is recommended for the best experience.
It’s best to let the guides know in advance if you would like extra attention or assistance while in the water.
Is there an age limit for dolphin watching?
In the interest of safety, the Operator is unable to take guests who are 2 years old and under at this time.
There is no max age.
Am I guaranteed to see dolphins?
Hawaiian Spinner Dolphins are wild marine animals, so encounters are not guaranteed. However, the vast majority of the tours (more than 90 percent) do see dolphins.
Can I touch the marine life I encounter?
No. Touching marine life and coral is illegal by Hawaii state law. Contact with human skin can make marine animals more susceptible to disease and cause them stress.
Can I bring my own camera?
You may bring your own camera onboard at your own risk. There are professional photography services available through the Operator at an additional cost.
Are we allowed to drink alcohol on the boat?
Alcohol is only available for purchase on the boat after all water activities are completed for safety reasons.
Please bring cash or card if you are interested in purchasing adult beverages onboard.
Can pregnant women participate?
Pregnant women are allowed to take part in the tour, but advise that it may not be safe during later terms. Please be careful not to slip and fall on board.
