My husband and I went out with Dolphin Discoveries for their morning snorkel trip in early April. The best thing about going with them is probably that they are the first boat to Kealakekua Bay, so you have plenty of space to roam without worrying about getting kicked in the mask by other snorkelers. As we were leaving to head... more

After much research, we decided to go with Dolphin Discoveries as our choice for a snorkelling excursion on the Big Island - we weren't disappointed. Kevin ensured that we had very specific directions to get to the boat launch and was very patient with us when we were late and made a couple of few wrong turns - don't use... more

My wife and I went on the morning snorkeling trip with DD. We saw dolphins, whales, and learned a little Hawaiian history on the way to the snorkeling locations. The crew were very good, and even saved our vacation. As soon as we got to the Captain Cook Monument, I lost my wedding ring in about 25-30 feet of water.... more

I got back last week from Kona. Our group booked with Dolphin Discoveries and I have nothing but good things to say about this company. From the start they were extremely professional, knowledgeable and helpful. There were 8 of us on the boat and it was comfortable. There was plenty of water, sodas and snacks available. We were able to... more

We took the morning tour with Captain Jon and Beth Ann. There were only seven of us in total and shortly into the trip, we knew it was going to exceed our expectations. The captain located a pod of dolphins about 1/2 hour into our trip. Initially, we just observed them from the boat due to our location but soon... more

Dolphin Discoveries was a great end to an awesome vacation! Both guides were very knowledgeable with the area, instructions were very clear and easy to understand. The equipment very comfortable and clean. Loved the use of the "noodles", although life vests were also available. My husband and I are not the most confident of swimmers, but the "noodles" were just... more

We loved our Dolphin Discoveries adventure. They took us to Captain Cook and Place of Refuge. Both are great snorkeling spots. The narrative was interesting. We looked for whales on the way out but did not see any. We did see dolphins, however (see picture). The two guides were freindly and professional. The "raft" was surprisingly comfortable, even though we... more

We had a GREAT time with Dolphin Discoveries! They are very knowledgeable and give you interesting history of the area. We did the morning trip and Dolphin Discoveries is the first one to arrive at Captain Cook. As we were leaving many other boats were coming in. It was so nice to have the whole area to ourselves. They have... more

Oh my Gosh!! Absolutely had a great time on this trip! From booking to answering questions over the phone, to the great directions to the dock, to the great time on the boat, and in the water, and to the staff, this is a great company! Can't compare it to other snorkel tours, but we only had 8 people on... more
