This small raft adventure is a great way to watch the dolphins of Hawaiʻi play. Seasonal to June-November, it is worth coming down to the islands just for this, and if you are already here at the appropriate time, then it is a must do activity!
This award-winning snorkel tour crosses the channel to Lānaʻi to experience the island’s sea cliffs, remote snorkel spots, and dolphin watching. See wild spinner dolphins and feel their joy as they leap and play – you’ll swear they are showing off just for you! Then, you go snorkeling on a beautiful reef known for the colorful coral, variety of fish, and turtles.
The small group tour means avoiding the crowds, one-on-one snorkel instruction, and feeling like family with the crew! You will receive snorkel instruction and learn from a marine naturalist guide! Flotation devices include pool noodles and float belts to assist with snorkeling. Wetsuit tops are available to rent and are optional. Life vests are onboard for emergencies but are not required during the tour.
Snorkeling on Lānaʻi's coast is an unforgettable experience. The crystal clear water makes it easy to see all the excellent fish and coral. The waters are teeming with fish of all colors and sizes, and you may even spot a sea turtle or two grazing on the algae-covered coral reefs. It’s truly a snorkel’s paradise with clear blue waters and stunning underwater views. So whether you’re a seasoned snorkeler or a beginner, your group will treasure this experience.
Your crew will be helpful and have great stories and knowledge of the sea and the area. Just like straight out of a Hemingway novel. You will love the small boat setting where you get individual attention. The crew is fascinating, fun, and focused on safety. You may have done a number of snorkeling outings, but this is by far the best. Kids of all ages will love it. Have this be the first thing you book on your trip.

Beginner-friendly snorkeling and snorkel instruction will start your trip, and we include almost everything you need for an incredible time. Snorkel gear (mask, snorkel, and fins), flotation devices (pool noodles and float belts), and complimentary reef-safe sunscreen are included.
*Please note we do not swim with dolphins as the laws have changed. It is illegal to swim with dolphins purposefully, and out of respect for the law and the animals, we want to offer a very respectful trip towards these amazing residential animals.
*Please note that these are wild animals. We go to great lengths to find these animals, but as they are wild, none of the sightings are guaranteed.
