Dolphin Discoveries
Dolphin tours in the ocean off the coast of the Big Island are among the most popular and educational of tours available to Hawaii visitors and one of the most personalized dolphins tours to go out with would be the tours offered by Dolphin Discoveries. Dolphin Discoveries offers small groups the opportunity to see the dolphins but in many cases even swim with them as well. Several tours are offered in which you can cruise the beautiful Kona Coastline of the Big Island down to Kealakekua Bay and the Captain Cook's Monument to enjoy some of the island's best snorkeling. These tours almost always will offer you views of the dolphins as they often enjoy racing the boat on the way down to the snorkel location. Perhaps the most exciting of the tours offered however are the ones that actually get you in the water with dolphins. Dolphins are very curious and very playful and if they choose (at their discretion) to come over to you and play a bit (and this happens quite a bit of the time) you will have a day out with the dolphins that you won't soon forget.…

| Description: This adventure is focused on finding the Hawaiian Spinner Dolphins and/or Spotted Dolphins and spending quality time with them. You will get to interact with the dolphins while learning about them and getting great photo opportunities both above and below the surface. Guests may get to swim with the dolphins depending on where they are and what they are doing. The local knowledge and expertise in finding the dolphins comes from over 14 years of running dolphin, whale watching and snorkeling tours in Kona. Utmost care is given not to disrupt their rest, nursing and breeding behaviors. Dolphin Discoveries has a high success rate of finding the dolphins and letting them "choose" whether to interact with guest or not. When they do interact with you, it is truly magical and can be a life changing experience. Dolphins and whales are intelligent, magnificent beings and it is an honor when they offer us a glimpse of their world.
