Ko Olina Ocean Adventures Snorkel with Wild Dolphins Rafting Tour [Open Soon]

Beautiful snorkeling

Reviewed by: G. Akers

Excursion was overall quite enjoyable. Was a bit disappointed that no turtles were seen, but this was due to weather/surf conditions and not under staff control. Crew worked hard to try to get all passengers in water with small pod of dolphins we encountered. As they were constantly moving, saw more of them from boat. They were amazing and a lot of fun to watch.
The highlight of the trip for me was feeding the fish while snorkeling. As soon as a few food pellets released, you'd be swarmed with beautiful tropical fish--quite the experience. (However, as there were so many passengers on the trip, you were also surrounded by other swimmers making it difficult to maneuver without getting hit, bumped, or kicked.) Majority of staff were very nice and worked hard to make guests comfortable. Photographer did a fantastic job.
Would definitely recommend the excursion, but be aware that conditions can affect what you experience, be prepared to be snorkeling in a good-sized group in op

Loved the dolphins. Got to get a kiss, but the price of the pics was outrageous. Best to take pics yourself.

Sea Life Park Hawaii Dolphin Experiences & Day Pass

A Great Experience!

Reviewed by: Rich & April

My wife and I loved our experience with the dolphins. We did the Royal Swim which gave us 2 diffrent types of rides with the dolphins. We got the foot push and the dorsal fin ride. The dolphins were so great it was such a thrill to be so close to these magnificent creatures. The training staff was excellent in describing them to us and telling us what we were supposed to do. The only negative thing I could say about this experience is that I think that they should not charge you so much for the pictures of the experience. After spending 430.00 to do the swim I then had to shell out another 100 + dollars to get the pictures and when we went to get the pictures I was then informed that because of the possibility of girls losing the bottom of their swimsuits during the footpush ride they are not permitted to photograph that yet they can video it so that you have to buy the dvd that has the footpush ride on it. My thing is if you can video it why wouldnt you be able to photograph it. Basi

Sea Life Park Hawaii Dolphin Experiences & Day Pass

One of the highlights of Oahu!

Reviewed by: Marina

It was awesome. I've read some reviews stating that the staff seemed disinterested, but on the day I went, they were pretty great. The photos and video were ridiculously expensive, but I have to say that every moment was documented and beautifully. I did the dolphin royal swim (as part of the all day package) and while that was very expensive too, it was so worth it. The dolphins and wholphin (seriously, a wholphin - where are you going to have an opportunity to swim with one of those?!!!) were wonderful; the foot push made you feel like you were flying - it was my favorite. It was also great to interract with sea lions and rays and feed the turtles and just have the opportunity to come SO CLOSE to these wonderful animals.

Most amazing experience EVER!!!

Reviewed by: Mimi Harp

I just got back from my vacation in Hawaii and I still can't stop gushing over how incredible the dolphin royal swim is! We went with my mom and my brother, and this was by far the best activity we did while in Hawaii. You get to spend a lot of time with the dolphins since the trainers do a great job of splitting the activities between all of the participants. If you love dolphins, then this is definitely the tour for you!

A chance to do something like this comes along very infrequently, so take advantage. This is cool, even if you don't go in the cage, to see a dozen or more sharks swimming around the boat is awesome.

North Shore Shark Adventures - Oahu Cage Diving Tour with Waikiki Transportation

Highly recommend:Read my tips

Reviewed by: LizFerguson

We were surprised how many sharks we actually saw on this tour!! The staff was very friendly and informative. For those who (like me) do not like scuba diving, this activity only requires snorkeling. Just a tip: If you get any bit seasick, I would not recommend this for you unless you take a high dose of anti-motion sickness medicine before going. Both my husband and I got seasick and lost our lunch while doing the tour. Keep in mind, you are on North Shore with all the big waves and will be on a small boat getting tossed around for at least 2 hours. Overall a great adventure and highly recommended!

Ko Olina Ocean Adventures Snorkel with Wild Dolphins Rafting Tour [Open Soon]

Thoroughly enjoyed

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

Wonderful fun to see the different animals, but do NOT make this your very first snorkeling experience on the island, nor your only experience looking at fish. Don't make it your first because it is a little intense (you have to jump off the back of the moving boat *into* the pod of dolphins) if you are not comfortable snorkeling. The time it takes to see the dolphins and turtles short-changes the fish experience a bit, but is absolutely worth it.

North Shore Shark Adventures - Oahu Cage Diving Tour with Waikiki Transportation

You must take this tour!!

Reviewed by: Hawaii Lover!

This tour was awesome! It was a moment of a lifetime!

I get very sea sick so I made sure to prepare which was a VERY good idea. I took meclazine the day before and then that morning about an hour before leaving. I took the first tour which is the calmest and clearest time. It definitly paid off because we had three people that were turning green on the boat.

Finding sharks was no problem. They came right up to the boat HUNGRY!! When it was your turn to get in it was amazing! It was scarier to see them above the water than when you got in. The water was so amazingly blue! The sharks were so gracefull and you didn't see any of the scariness you do from outside of the water.

I just wish that my expensive underwater camera worked!! None of my pictures turned out! I still have the moment and picture in my mind forever but I wanted to share it with others.

Do not miss this tour!! No mater how nervous you are if you event want to do this a little you should not

Experience worth every single penny

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

I went alone...but it was all the worth while! I highly recommend this experience...and it is an experience. They have two sides of plexiglass on the cage and when your in the water it feels like you are swimming right next to them! All the excitement and enjoyment of swimming with sharks! Spend the money, take the time, do whatever you need to do to fit this in! And the location outside of the tourist traps was also a plus!

it was ok younger kids and family would enjoy it. it was intersting because you see things you wouldn't normally see such as ship wrecks and plane wrecks. seeing aquatic life was pretty cool we saw a female sea turtle the narrator said that was rare. the most annoying was the dual english and japneese narration on a sub that was all english speaking passengers.

Dolphin Swim Adventure

Reviewed by: BoiseNP

My husband, 8 year old daughter, and I attended this excursion on Saturday Aug 9 2008 as a part of our 10th anniversary celebration. We had paarticipated in a similiar experience on our honeymoon in Mexico 10 years ago and had high expectations because of our prior dolphin encounter. In all the park was small, and the cages a bit old and dirty. The animals seemed happy and the trainers showed a genuine love and bond with the animals. We purchased the photos, and the video but were disappointed that it was edited to the point that a lot of the dolphin action was left off the tape, and only the photo ops were really videoed. In all, a fun experience for first timers, or introducing children to the animals, but I would not recommend this if you have done it before...way too commercial.

Ko Olina Ocean Adventures Snorkel with Wild Dolphins Rafting Tour [Open Soon]

Wow, just wow!!

Reviewed by: Shannon

My husband and I did the morning snorkle on 10/26/09. Being a certified SCUBA diver, I never thought snorkeling would be so memorable after diving several exotic locations. Boy was I wrong. The staff made it a point to make all 3 locations as memorable and interactive as possible from locating a pod of approx 160 dolphins after several failed attempts to even finding several impressive turtles at the "cleaning station." This is a total A+++ adventure and I recommend to everyone. But for having event planned every other day during our stay, I would have gladly redone this adventure and hope to do it again when we return to Hawaii.

Sea Life Park Admission Day Pass & Dolphin Greeting - Kid Friendly!

Don't Expect Sea World

Reviewed by: From Western PA

This certainly isn't Sea World. It is a very small (quaint) park. If you have had the experience to swim with dolphins like I had in Mexico (ocean evironment, large swim area for dolphin, small group), this certainly isn't the same.

It is a bit expensive, but one of the cheaper ones. It is in a small tank environment with about 4 groups of 10. Each group does have their own dolphin. It is a quick kiss, belly rub, and belly ride. They really just want to sell you pictures or a cd. My younger children enjoyed it (10 and 11), but they have never done it before. Don't have pictures, because only their photographers can get close enough to take any. I did enjoy the drive out, and the scenery.
