Overall we had a great time. The crew were super, super amazing. They went out of their way to help my 6 year olds feel comfortable. They were great calming down one of them when he was having trouble with his snorkel. And the second time we were getting into the water and my boys decided they were too scared to go, the crew went out of their way to engage them so they still had fun. One crew member even brought them to the back of the boat and fed the fish so they'd come to the surface so my boys could see them. We saw a large pod of dolphins which was amazing. The only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 is because the snorkeling group was so large that it was chaotic in the water trying to "swim with the dolphins". We were all herded together in a compact group bumping into each other with fins often kicking each other. That really reduced the magical feel to the experience. That being said, it was still very cool. Just not 5 stars cool.

This was the best tour I have ever purchased in all my travels (Europe 2x, Mexico 2x, and Hawaii 2x). It was so much fun. The crew of the ship were so helpful, fun and entertaining. Swimming in the ocean, using the slide, seeing the turtles, octopus, dolphins, and humpback whales was amazing. I am not kidding when I say that my wife and I would do this exact tour again. It's been three days and we still can not stop talking about it. Captain Dani was so so awesome. The surprise at the end of the trip from the crew was so fun too. I highly recommend. This tour would be great with a few friends, as a couple, or as a family. It is very young-kid friendly. My only complaint is I wish it was longer! **I copied and pasted this from my own review on trip advisor**

We had a great time. We went early January and got on the early morning tour (when sea life is most active) which had about 22 people on the tour. We got to see Humpback Whales from a distance, a very large pod of Spotted dolphins including babies who came right up alongside the boat and Green Sea Turtles. We had an hour to snorkel, paddle board/kayak and slide off the boat into the water. The captain (female by the way which is badass) was super knowledgeable about the sea life and a great host. The crew were very helpful, friendly and FUNNY! Water and lemonade were complimentary. Alcoholic beverages were available to purchase at a reasonable price. Food was provided which did the job. The crew took safety seriously, and were helpful to anyone who needed extra attention. They had bilingual crew members as well which was great to see. At the end they put on a show which was lovely to experience. When picking us up, they have a run down on expectations. Absolutely recommend purchasing true reef safe sunscreen, if you can’t find any real suitable ones they’ll offer to sell some. We had a great time overall.

We had an amazing trip with the team! It was our first time snorkeling. The crew was so energetic, helpful, and friendly -- Aidan, Tita, Zoey, Natalie, Benjamin, Robyn, the captains... We dropped our goggles while snorkeling and one of them (I think it was Benjamin) retrieved it for us. Aidan was fantastic since the time he picked us up, tour-guiding on the bus, taking our pictures, and accompanying us back to the hotels + office. We had an unforgettable day. Thank you so much! P.S.: They also had excellent souvenirs in their store.

Great time! Everyone was so welcome, fun, funny. Everyone had their own little jobs and made sure everyone experienced was a good time. Up to the bus people all the way to the boat! Everyone made sure we were laughing and always had a good time. We got to see many dolphins and some turtles. Couldn’t enjoy a better experience with this fun crew! Good job everyone. Keep it up.

Our family had a wonderful time with this amazing crew! They brought so much energy, fun and knowledge to the experience. Having been on many boat tours in the past I can definitely say this was a special trip. They were great with our 8 and 6 year old girls. (My 8yo says she likes Zoe’s corny jokes). We enjoyed spinner dolphins, turtles, and flying fish, along with snorkeling, kayaking, hula performances, and of course the water slide! Thank you to Zoe, Ryan, Alex, Tita, Captain Dani, Thomas, Hanoi, and Big B!

Gorgeous bunch of sensible but fun hosts who made the entire experience brilliant from start to finish. Bus picked us up from hotel, everything was explained clearly, tonnes of music & jokes. Free water & lemonade + yummy lunch included. The water was just amazing - such a beautiful colour, and warm too! We saw spinner dolphins sleep-swimming and got to swim with fish, sea turtles and even a totally safe reef s-word (we shall not mention that word!) !! Great photos from the day - definitely worth the $79. Thanks heaps crew xx me and the kids loved it!! Best day so far in Honolulu xx

It was a really fun experience! My bf, my mom and I went all together and were able to see dolphins jumping and doing some spins. The food was good, the guides did a really great job and we all had a great time there! Alex was great, helping older people and others needed helps. Tita was one of the great crews who did a great job on guide/ talk through out the tour and beautiful hula dance. I would recommend anyone coming to Hawaii to join this tour.

Had a great early morning experience, saw dolphins and whales from the boat! Got to snorkel in the ocean and the water was clear enough to see the bottom. Fun group experience, definitely recommend! Shout out to the crew including tour guide and photographer Faith, and mermaid/diver Zoey (sp?).

100% recommended! Everything was perfect! I am not a good swimmer and was a bit afraid of the water but they went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable and safe. The scenery is amazing And we got to see whales!

The experience we had was amazing! It was so fun from when we got on board to when we left. The crew and the captain made the trip an adventure to remember and crest good memories. Make sure to wear your sun block, bring water shoes and have your go pro ready!!

So awesome!!!! We saw dolphins and turtles as expected but, we had a surprise! We saw a Hunchback Whale!!! Captain Dani is so awesome and was totally excited and willing to go past scheduled time to follow the whale until we all saw it! It was so amazing and so is she! Such a fun and friendly crew that makes you feel welcome and happy!!! They have cute surprises and snacks for the entire trip! Well worth the money! I 10/10 recommend doing this tour!!!!

such an awesome experience! the crew were all super fun and energetic and made it such a fun trip, especially the captain! it was great to have everything broken up into different times, from dolphin watching to the snorkeling and water time. definitely a great trip for beginner snorkelers since safety is so emphasized!

would recommend to all family and friends. this was such a fun experience. My family and i got to see whales, fish, dolphins and turtles. The crew made the experience 100 times better with how friendly they were. Not only do you get to go snorkeling but the crew provides other fun activities like paddle boarding, kayaks and a really fun slide that goes straight into the ocean. This is by far my favorite activity I’ve done so far since being here in Hawaii. Here are some pictures i took on the boat ride :))

So much fun! Bus coordinator SWAY was great and the ride was cool & comfortable. Captain Jerry and crew with Natalie on the mic... made it the best! Highly recommended! Saw lots of spinner dolphins 🐬 swam with a few turtles 🐢 lunch was a plus and we had a great time, Thank you!

My family of 6 was visiting Hawaii and decided to do the dolphin watching & snorkeling tour with Dolphins & You. We did the 2nd tour of the day and we had a blast! We met everyone at the dock, which was easy to find and was able to find our group within minutes! We were all checked in and purchased the photo package in less than 5 minutes! I highly recommend doing the photo package - it was nice to be able to enjoy ourselves and not needing our phones out the entire time for photos! We found dolphins almost immediately leaving the docks and the captain & crew were really respectful of the animals and kept our distance! Then we went on a short boat ride to the snorkeling spot. It was beautiful! We saw 2 sea turtles & plenty of fish! The kids loved the water slide too! Jeremy & Brandon really helped us out in the water! Jeremy helped my daughter with her mask since water kept getting in. They also have paddleboards & kayaks that you can use! We were in the water for about an hour and then we were served lunch. We had both the fish & chicken - both were good, but I personally liked the fish better. Once lunch was done, we made our way back to the dock, but they add in a few surprises during the ride back (which I won't ruin) but we really enjoyed the extra surprises and the crew was fantastic! If we ever go back to Hawaii, we'd definitely do that tour again! It was our favorite event that we did while in Hawaii for 2 weeks! Highly recommend!

The whole trip was amazing 👏 We got to see so many dolphins and turtles. The snorkeling was so fun. We got to see some beautiful colorful fish.They have paddle boards and canoes if you don't want to swim. Also don't be afraid of the slide it was so much fun. Once we started we didn't want to stop. Everyone was very polite and very accommodating and All the staff love there job and treated each of us like family.My party was all adults but they are also so great with the kids. From Sway to Jeremy and everyone in between we had an awesome fun filled half day ! Captian Jerry was fantastic as well! 100% recommend to EVERYONE!!!! This experience is a must!!!!!

We had an amazing time on this tour with this crew, everybody was so friendly, and helpful. Great camera man Thomas, made us feel welcome and got some great photos of us. Are captain Danny knew all the hot spots to go to, we even got to see some humpback whales. Zoey, Alex, and Ben was very helpful, and fun they kept the tour jamming with music, and cool dances. My daughter had a blast for her birthday would highly recommend.

I would highly recommend this excursion! It was amazing from start to finish! The view was beautiful, the lunch was tasty, great activities offered at the snorkeling site, and the crew was AMAZING! I can't say enough about how fun they made this excursion. They truly love their jobs! We were able to see 2 different types of dolphins, a whale (most were already headed back north), and swam with a sea turtle. They offer a photo package to purchase which we purchased. It was probably around 1500 pictures of the day. It included boat and water pictures of everyone. We were given a printed group picture, a USB, and a link to all the pictures.

I originally had booked the whales and you tour but due to low sign ups it was cancelled. However AYC asked if I wanted to do dolphins with you instead What they did not tell me was how great a time it would be. The crew and staff were amazing. Shout out Megan , Zoe , Tula , Alex , Ben , Yuki, captain Jerry and the bus driver Benard. They were all fun, Personable and really fun people to talk to. Especially at 7am in the morning. They know their stuff as well as the ocean showed up for it. Saw whales (a big thing I wanted to see) several dolphins as well.

Had an amazing time! We got to see Dolphins and even saw Whales which they said it was very rare! The snorkeling was so cool we got to see all kinds of fish and one of the tour guys was showing us how to dive down and he let me hold a Star Fish that he grabbed from the bottom. The girls on the boat was so nice and fun to be around & the the tour guide/photographer Megan was so amazing I loved her!

This was absolutely amazing!! Completely exceeded my expectations! The crew that took us out was absolutely amazing, super nice and very helpful with everything! Definitely top notch. I've never seen so many dolphins before so close and then to snorkel around the coral reef and seeing all the fish and the huge turtle was insanely cool!! Not to mention the views OMG! If you're reading this and contemplating going. I'm telling you, you will not be disappointed!!

My son and I did the Dolphins and you excursion. It was wonderful! On the way out to the snorkeling spot we saw a pod of dolphins, and it was exciting and magical. The crew did an amazing job the entire time. So friendly and helpful! Jeremy was on the microphone, and he was awesome! He knew how to keep our attention the whole time, and was so funny. He is definitely the right person for that job. I also really loved Zoe. She's just completely awesome and hilarious! The owners of this company definitely hired the right people to create memorable experiences for everyone on the boat. Snorkeling was very fun. It was my first time, and I had a blast. I didn't see many fish, as I think maybe they got scared off by all the people, but it was still great. I appreciated how the crew members were out in the water with us, making sure we were safe.

Saw a bunch of whales breaching and showing off, from a close distance, which is automatic 5/5 stars from me :-). The crew was super friendly and professional. All gear provided, a bus to pick you up - very convenient overall. I took the first tour early in the morning, which is probably a better option. As for snorkeling - don't jump into the water without fins, current can be pretty strong in the ocean. There were at least 3 people watching over the group though, so nothing to worry about. Recommended! PS no dolphins spotted during my tour but who cares if you get whales! :)

Highly recommend this tour! We went out on the boat on the west side of the island and spotted dolphins spinning. Then we snorkeled with turtles & fishes - the water was pretty clear visibility. The crew was friendly and helpful! Shoutout to Liz for diving deep to get the best footage, Zoe for the laughs on the mic, Jeremy for an unforgettable luau performance, and Captain Dani & Jerry for driving us safely!

Wonderful tour. Our shuttle driver was so nice. Faith AYC captured beautiful pictures. My husband and I are celebrating our 8th year anniversary today and the crew made it even better. We will definitely be returning. Mahalo

This was the BEST tour EVER!! We got to see dolphins, and turtles and WE EVEN SAW A WHALE!!! Captain Dani was so amazing! She prioritized giving us all the experience of a lifetime! The whole crew was fantastic. So kind and caring. They had snacks and drinks for everyone along with a meal, so they kept us all happy the entire time. Snorkeling was fun and they had a lot of activities to do in the water. Highly recommend. Worth every penny.

Such a fun excursion! The water was crystal clear and we were able to swim right up to the dolphins multiple times. Jenn on the bus and Yogi & his crew were all awesome. Get the photo package - you won't regret it.

They don't guarantee the Dolphins. We were able to snorkel with some, but not many. The crew was the best! They danced and sang for us and were very fun and upbeat. On our way back to harbor, the captain spotted a big group of dolphins and extended our tour for us to all see them from the top of the boat. A blessing, since we weren't able to see many while snorkeling.

I had a fantastic experience with Dolphins and You. Ashley and Faith were on the bus that took us on the hour drive to where we would be swimming with dolphins and they were also the photographers. They were both so so kind and very enthusiastic. Wet suit rentals were only 10$ which was awesome to have because we went early in the morning so the water was still pretty cold. My tour group got lucky and we saw at least fifty dolphins (even some babies)! My only criticism is that the tour seemed overbooked. When we jumped in the ocean to see the dolphins, people were practically swimming over each other because of how many people there were. The snorkeling location also seemed kind of random. It was in a deeper area that we couldn’t see through too well and there were very few fish. I would say that the the crew definitely know what they’re doing and will ensure that you get to see dolphins and they were also all so awesome.

Jenn and the crew were so much fun and my favorite part was the slide! THIS WAS SO MUCH FUN!(Jenn was the best part)also I’m 11 years old so I recommend taking your 11 year old kids here

Nice staff, saw dolphins in the water lucky. We have great time for swimming too.

Awesome tour! Loved Jen and all the crew! Captain mike was also super cool! We did see dolphins, but when they tell you to look down, look down! Bc they are fast beautiful creatures. Respect the wild life rules! Thank you so much for an awesome and fun experience! Many mohalo’s!
