Waterside Fun - Be prepared to not see much only because the are wildlife. I wasn't disappointed that we didnt see the sea turtles because I knew there was a chance we wouldn't. But I felt like the staff did as much as they could. The captain did a great job at finding and tracking the dolphins though! The kids favorite part was the waterside! Overall great experience and we would do it again!

If you want an adventure that treats you like family. Ariya II crew is for you! - This was fun and easy from start to finish! Being picked up by Mahea and Tyler we began with a fun ride to the West side of the island. We met the crew Captain Jerry Kainoa, Brandon aka (Jack), Faavae, and Cyre. We were treated like family all day and led us to some great spots to see wildlife and snorkel. 10/10 would recommend! This was truly a most excellent adventure.

Fun crew with breathtaking views - A fantastic family experience with breathtaking views. The crew, Mahea, Jerry, Brandon, Kainoa, Faavae, Cyre and our guide/photographer Tyler, were all friendly, fun, helpful, hilarious and just brought the experience to another level while ensuring everyone’s safety. This was a great afternoon adventure that we won’t forget.

Best Tour in Hawaii - My family--four kids between 4-11, my husband, and I--went on the Dolphins and You tour a couple days ago. I used to live on Oahu and have toured all over the island, Maui, Kauai, and the Big Island. I've done dozens of tours and at least 10 snorkeling tours of various sizes (including other dolphin tours). This is literally the best I've ever gone on. The tour guide and boat staff were amazing. I never felt rushed, the pacing was perfect. The overall atmosphere on the boat was relaxed, joyous, and positive. They did not shame anyone for not snorkeling or coming back early, offered assistance in finding wildlife, and had lots of options for various levels of comfort (paddleboard, kayak, pool noodles, etc.). I never felt like a bother or a burden and the staff never felt like they were having anything but a great time. Wet suits were $5 rental (and totally worth it for our chilly, overcast day). Pictures were a $79 upcharge, but they did a great job taking photos and videos throughout the experience. Overall, a literal 10/10 and I don't say that lightly. Our day was the perfect length--running around 4 hours total from beginning to end. The crowd was light, only like a third of boat capacity.

Nice experience if you dont get motion sick! - The team was very nice! Our guide and the boat crew were very friendly and helpful. Unfortunately I fel sick the whole trip and I couldnt really enjoy… And even the bracelets against motion sickness which you can buy from them didnt help me. ;( The view from the boat was beautiful tho and we could see cute little fish while snorkeling. From the boat we saw one turtle and one monk seal. Unfortunately no dolphins the whole trip, but the team tried there best to move around and find some. A highlight was a hula dance show by the crew members.
