tori & melisa were the best - very informative since they are marine biologists. right out of the harbor they put us in the middle of around 100 dolphins. what an experience!! words cannot express the excitement i felt. unfortunately it was a little too early in the season to see the whales on our trip, however the group that... more

very knowledgable and friendly staff, highly recommended, we swam with spinner dolphins, turtles, and got up close with spotted dolphins. Tres cool! Tori, Melissa, and Fitz were great. Very highly recommended. Very comfortable, non pushy atmosphere. my wife is not a water person and she loved it. more

The excursion was one of the best experiences I've had in a very long time. The captain and tour head were friendly and fun. Their approach to the marine life and ecosystem was refreshingly respectful. We got multiple oppurtunities to swim along side the dophin pods, oberserve them, and listen to their sonar. Then we went to the reef to... more

I went on this tour knowing I wasn't guaranteed to do all I wanted to do or see all that I wanted to see. And I knew that there was a good chance that I would from the information that was on the Wild Side website. I felt filled with joy having the dolphins play with our boat, and to... more

Absolutely loved it! My wife and I had such a wonderful experience on October 30, when we joined the Best of the West cruise. Thanks to Tori and Melissa, our hosting crew, we were able to literally "swim with the dolphins", and we will forever treasure the very fond memory of this special experience! Looking back, it almost feels as... more

We booked the "Best of The West" tour which was a small 6 person group and that was the way to go! We had an informative guide who made sure we had a day to remember. She knew the wildlife in the area, was very consensus of our presence with the animals and honestly – I think the dolphins had... more

My wife and I spent a wonderful morning in October swimming with the dolphins, turtles and fish. The Wild Side crew were very friendly and knowledgeable and we enjoyed a great time out on the water. We snorkeled with turtles and fish and then went to see the dolphins. We arrived in a secluded cove and then climbed into the... more

I was visiting my brother in hawaii and wanted to do something special for our last day. I chose this company after reading a lot of good reviews and they had a ton of info on their site... it didn't disappoint! they really listened to what the 6 people on the boat wanted to do, they have a number of... more

Hi, I took the tour "The wild side" (it only holds 6 visitors and 2 crew members) Sept. 14th 2009. I had my family with me in Hawaii with a total of 6 adults. We all decided that we would like to take the tour, so I booked us all in and had our own private tour. That was great,... more
