We take you swimming and snorkeling with dolphins during the day and with the angelic manta rays after sunset. All meals, snacks, drinks and snorkel gear are provided for you, as well as a swim support crew member who is in the water with you at all times. During the winter season, we take you out on our boat to see the magnificent Humpback whales. In addition, we snorkel around beautiful reefs, and can take you hiking around Volcanoes National Park and Pololu Valley. We also offer very exclusive, week long transformational retreats in March and September. « less

On May 7th my husband and I did a dolphin excursion with Dolphin Journeys. Cathy and Jason were our crew for the day and the whole trip was incredible. We had a small group on our trip (5 including ourselves) which is one thing that drew us to Dolphin Journeys. As we set off, Cathy made the decision to go... More

Kathy and Justin were absolutely wonderful guides. They took our group of 6 out today 5/4/13 for a half day excursion and they delivered big time. We were visited by multiple pods of over 50 dolphins at a time and the pods graced us with their presence the whole time. Kathy and Justin worked great with people with disabilities and... More

This was the most memorable event of our trip to the Big Island. We swam amidst dolphins that sometimes came within just a few feet of us. Justin and Captain Nancy were great. Captain Nancy spent the time to talk to us on the ride out to let us know about the dolphins and what we'd be doing. Justin was... More

Our second day in Kailua Kona we did a Dolphin swim with Dolphin Journeys. The water was very warm, the dolphins were playful and the Dolphin Journey's staff was enthusiastic, helpful, thoughtful and welcoming. The day could not have been better. We saw hundreds of dolphins from the bow of the boat, and swam with small pods of dolphin families.... More

We had a great time and saw many many dolphins, as close as 5 ft away. We had a 6 year old and a 10 year old. Justin was awesome, making sure the kids were ok and everyone was in position at all times. He was very enthusiastic and kept the kids and adults excited with every encounter. We came... More

We did a dolphin swim and manta ray dive with Captain Nancy and Crew. First, a word about Captain Nancy (the owner) - she is a wonderful spirit who cares deeply about the ocean and its inhabitants. She also wants to ensure that her guests have an amazing day in the water. The wild dolphin swim is an amazing, spiritual... More

The tour was with Andreas (our pod leader) and Captain Daniel, who were both incredibly enthusiastic and very nice. Not only did we swim right next to numerous dolphins (and babies), we saw a pod of humpback whales. Daniel let us take pictures and did not rush us back, even though we were a little bit late. We also saw... More

We took the Whale Watch/Dolphin Swim combo tour with Captain Nancy. I researched several other tours that offered a 'dolphin swim' and selected Dolphin Journey after discussing my concerns about swimming in the ocean with Captain Nancy. They provide swim support if someone does not know how to swim as well as noodles for those who can swim but are... More
