These are wild animals and do what they want. We saw lots of dolphins from the boat, but rare bottle nose sighting seemed to scare the smaller ones away. A marlin, a manta ray, a sea snake, an octopus, 2 turtles...but the stars of the show were the staff, treating us like family, not just a job. There was always someone checking on us, chatting with us, just getting to know us better. They even went a couple extra miles out to try to find more dolphins we could swim with. There were snacks, water and juice, and lunch. In 3 different trips to Oahu, this was our best tour of all! Julie, Nicole, John, Nefi, Dave, and the others were just amazing. The boat would hold 40, but they cap it at 25. It was just perfect.
