This was a great adventure! Being in the cage is extremely rough, and you have to hold on to avoid getting thrown around by the huge waves, but this is a small problem! There must have been at least 15-20 sharks (Galapagos and sandbar sharks) swimming all around, and rubbing on the cage! I would recommend this activity to anyone who can handle a rough ocean. It was one of the best things we did in Hawaii!! Take anti-nausea pills, as the waves are huge, and the boat rocks hard (even for those who don't think they get seasick).

This was are favorite activity. You are taken out 3 miles from the shore in 400+ ft of water and put in a cage while chum is thrown from the boat. Then its a shark fest. We seen about 20+ Galapagos sharks. Bring a waterproof camera to capture the excitement. It was really difficult for us to get pictures because the water was so choppy, but out of 27 pictures we got 20 great pictures.

I had a great time swimming and playing with the dolphins. I not only swam/played with them I got to kiss/hug and pet them. The dorsal tow was superb and the foot push fun. They video tape and take pictures of the interactions with the dolphins. The video is about 10minutes long and you can choose what pictures you want, there are four to choose from.

It was a beautiful morning in Hawaii. We saw dolphins as soon as we were out in the open water. Captain Mark and his crews were wonderful. They really wanted us to have a good time! I have great shots of dolphins playing and swimming in the ocean. The snorkeling was great. The water was warm and clear. We saw turtles and plenty of fish. As an added bonus, I saw dolphins underwater while snorkeling. This is an activity you will surely enjoy. I would come back for more!

I had big expectations of this submarine ride and I was proven right. Equipment is well maintained. Staff are friendly and very competant, with great line handling and people skills. The experience was relaxing, entertaning and fun as well as having interest in more technical terms for underwater enthusiasts. The gift shop has some good value souveniers too.

My 10 year grandaughter said this activity was the best part of the entire trip. As for myself, the only negative was the cost of the food, which did not allow for refills on the soda.

I have done two dolphin swims (both in Cancun, Mexico) but not a sea lion swim. Although the dolphin swim to me was more exciting, the sea lion swim was still great! They also offer dolphin swims but I chose the sea lion swim this time and I was not disappointed. One good thing about it is that there were only three other people besides me and my son so we got to learn a lot more and spend a lot more time. The dolphin swims always included a dozen or more people, but I'm sure that at Sea Life Park this wouldn't be a problem because Sea Life Park is smaller than the other places that offer this type of thing. And that it better for us!

I kept reading reviews - some good, some bad - the bad ones kept saying how Sea Life Park is so small that you can see it in 20 minutes, et al. BUT that is what we liked about it! We didn't miss anything. We saw the dolphin show, which was very good, we swam with the sea lions, which was very cool, got something to eat, etc. By the time you do everything and not have to rush doing it, it was exactly what we were looking for!

this is THE highlight of our hawaiian vacation. i've been to O'ahu once, but never been to the west side. the views were awesome.
we were very lucky to see a pod of spinner dolpins within 30min of our departure. i can still remember the sound of dolphins in the water! that's something you will never forget. this tour lived up to its expectations and more. on the 2nd snorkel spot, we swam with three sea turtles! it's the underwater heaven there.
you MUST do this when you are in hawaii. unforgetable!

This is a Spectacular Outdoor Water Adventure for ANYONE who loves nature and God's Ocean Creations! Although we were the only English Speaking Tourist who booked the trip, the Captain was kind enough to explain what the tour guide was talking about to all the Japanese Tourist Guests and our First Mate was really fun!!! The only disappointment I am really not pleased about is the "photo's" that were sold to us and MIS-Represented as they were going to be FROM OUR TRIP were NOT ANY PICTURES OF US TAKEN UNDERWATER or on the BOAT. I paid $70.00 for 2 CD's (no pictures were provided you have to pay again to get them developed from CD) and then NOT ONE of them had US underwater. Would really LIKE TO GET OUR PICTURES and not ones from Someone elses paid tourism package from the past! This was kinda deceitful on the photographers part, and I hope she sees that anyone who thinks there getting THERE OWN PERSONAL PICTURES ONLY TO SEE STRANGERS IN PICTURES AND PAST ADVENTURES WAS NOT COOL AT!!!

This tour is definitely worth the money! We had an amazing time! Make sure to take Dramamine ahead of time and make sure to have enough battery power for your camera because you will take tons of photos. If you have never snorkeled, I recommend figuring out how to snorkel ahead of time. We also saw whales (it was the middle of whale season) and you could here them if you were really quiet under the water. We had to rebook due to weather and the staff was great at getting us a new date/time that worked with our schedule. The only regret I have is the video that was shot for us. It was very expensive for the footage we received (about 10 minutes) and the wrong couple was intereviewed at the beginning of the video and at the end of the video the camera wasn't turned off so we have about 5 minutes of a white wall on the front of the boat. All in all, it was an amazing time and we would definitely do it again!

Staff was very pleasant and eager to please the customer. The included snacks for breakfast and lunch of choice just topped the trip off perfect. Saw a school of about 18 spinner dolphins jumping out of the water within a couple feet of boat and while in the water had them swim directly below me (about ten feet from myself). Snorkeled in 3 separate spots after the snorkel with the dolphins. More bang for your buck than other tours ... well worth it!!!

This was a great trip and exceeded our expectations. Seeing sharks circling up from the deep to come and feed in close attendence with Trumpetfish and a random Tuna was a sight I will never forget. The water was so blue and clear that it was like watching on film. If there is one thing that you do when you go to Hawaii then this should be it. With the correct balance between ecology, safety and fun this must be the best activity by a mile and it still leaves time for surfing in the afternoon! Brilliant.
