Swimming with dolphins is one of my lifelong dreams and one of the things I was most excited about for coming to Hawaii. I looked at a lot of places that offered the chance to swim with dolphins in the wild, but really liked that OneLoveOneSpirit offered small numbers (maximum 6 participants) and seemed very focused on the interactions with...

This was one of the coolest things I have ever experienced. Kit and Shelly were great. Their expertise made the experience that much better. They were able to put us in the water several times right in the middle of huge pods of spinner dolphins. It is impossible to describe how it feels to have dolphins above, below, and next... More

Absolutely a highlight of our time on the Big Island. Captain Ray was masterful at respecting the integrity of the ocean and dolphin life but also ensuring we were given an experience to remember. Dolphins were not plentiful in the usual locations, so he traveled well beyond his usual spots and found them. Our first swim was with just a... More

Swimming with dolphins is something that I've wanted to do my entire life. But I just couldn't bring myself to paying the money to go into a giant tank with the captive dolphins. Granted, that way I could touch them, but I really wanted to see and interact with them in the wild. Captain Ryan, Manny and swim guide Tina... More

First off, as my wife is disabled, we weren't even sure a trip like this could be possible. We needn't have worried. Vicki took so much interest and did so much research into making it so easy for us to both access the boat and the ocean, it was a breeze. Our swim guide, Wanda did a great job and... More

Our six-year-old had two things on his agenda for Hawaii: See "the" volcano and swim with dolphins. "Commodore" Ryan, Cy and Tina were an amazing crew. Though our swim was brief, it was amazing to see the dolphins in their natural world, away from trainers and gawkers around the pool. Tina kept us informed about everything Hawaii, while Cy and...

We really wanted to see dolphins on our recent trip to the big island, but we didn't have a lot of time in between other commitments. There are plenty of opportunities to see dolphins in captivity but they were expensive, time with the creatures is relatively short (15-20 min), and there's an unfortunate circus/zoo vibe about these operations. Then we... More

Upon arriving at the Marina, we met Captain Ray and his guide and had a brief safety orientation on the impeccably maintained boat. Onboard a nice breakfast had been prepared for us along with our lunch for the trip. It was a very relaxing ride out to where the dolphins were with great scenery of the ocean and the shoreline...

Captain Ray and his swim guide, Tina, were exceptional: great service, friendly, knowledgable, and very respectful of the dolphins. If you've always dreamed of swimming with dolphins this trip is for you. I hoped to see 2-3 dolphins and I swam with an estimated 100 dolphins!! It just kept getting better as the day went by. Captain Ray and Tina... More
