Honolulu Swim with Dolphins

Lots of dolphins! The tour was very small and the boat was quick and nimble, which maximized time with dolphins and minimized time bumping into a bunch of flailing tour-goers clamouring over each other to see dolphins. The captain and the guide were great as well. Would highly recommend.

My kid so excited about this trip, he says this the best day ever~, we saw different kinds of dolphins, even an adult pilot whale with new babies on and underwater. Don’t miss this when you have chance. Highly recommend this to all.

My dolphin excursion was canceled due to weather by the company and I’m trying to get my refund back. How do I go about contacting someone from Cool Hawaii for that?

Absolutely wonderful start to finish! Early morning 7:30am start had calm waters and great visibility the day we went in August! The crew was welcoming and helpful to make the experience perfect! We got to swim with so many dolphins I couldn’t believe it, snorkeled with lots of fish and turtles, with option for waterside from the boat while I opted to continue snorkeling. Lunch provided on the way back was filling and easy to eat as we cruised back to the harbor. We even spotted dolphins on the way back and Stef was awesome enough to stop so we could watch them jump out of the water so high as we all cheered! The whole trip was very relaxed with plenty of space on the boat to move around and see everything that was happening. We saw what felt like hundreds of dolphins from the boat very close and in the water to enjoy them playing and swimming together as we observed them from a safe distance. I felt safe and had a blast on this tour. I will definitely book again and bring friends next time they visit Oahu. Our boat was operated by Stef, Koa, Ryan, Yuji, Keona, and Jess! Highly Recommend!!! 🤩

Entire family loved snorkeling and seeing turtles and I saw dolphins. Guides were very friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend.

Staff was wonderful and very accommodating. We had family members with limited mobility and they were so helpful to make this experience accessible.

We saw so many dolphins! The crew were fantastic and we even got to see a turtle while snorkeling. 10/10 recommend! One of the most amazing parts of our trip

Jenna and Angie are amazing! They really know what they are doing. We had a great time and were able to see 3 different species of dolphins from the boat, and swim alongside some pods. Honestly, just stop reading this review and go book this tour!

Absolutely the highlight of my vacation. the crew was amazing, helpful, and patient with an older person. They made me feel special.This trip was part of a bucket list. My bucket is overflowing.

Outstanding experience. In all My years of dolphin watching this one delivers! I saw more dolphins than ever before. We saw not one die use, but four species, which is highly unusual. The crew were so excited that they extended the tour for an hour! And gave us not two but three times to hop into the ocean and see the dolphins up close. The crew accompanied us in the water and kept a watchful eye on everybody and offered assistance to anybody that needed it by approaching the guest directly. We also had fun on the water slide and raft. Snorkeling, too, but we opted instead for another dive to swim with the dolphins. The crew was exceptionally knowledgeable, helpful, friendly and very safety conscious. I highly recommend Iruka! And, perchance you don’t see a dolphin you can book another encounter for half-price! Also, on all future trips, forever, you will get a 20% discount; Lunch and soft drinks included. Highly recommended this experience and crew! None better.

My husband and I had a really fun trip with the Indigo Ocean crew. They were really friendly and helpful, especially for me who hasn’t had any experience snorkeling. The scenery is incredibly beautiful, the water is gorgeous, and even our short glimpse of the dolphins was so exciting. Snorkeling with all of the fish, turtles and even octopus was my favorite part. John took some great photos of us, too!

It was an absolutely amazing day out seeing dolphins and turtles and fish alongside other wildlife. Our tour guides were very knowledgeable and took excellent care of us. They were patient and helpful and reassuring to the customers on the tour hesitant to get into the water. The snorkelling tutorial was complete and helpful as it was my first time snorkelling. Would 100% recommend to couples and families or anyone looking to experience the sealife around Oahu

This experience was absolutely amazing. Captain Jenna did a phenomenal job. I am grateful that she found a pod of pilot whales I was able to get into the water with. Mahalo

Truly a one-of-a-kind experience that we will never forget! From the moment we arrived, the staff was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and helpful. Their positive energy and genuine hospitality made the entire experience even more enjoyable.The experience itself was absolutely amazing, with beautiful scenery and unforgettable moments that we’ll be talking about for years to come. The crew did a fantastic job making everyone feel comfortable while creating a fun and memorable adventure.And the lunch was delicious—a perfect addition to an already incredible day!If you’re visiting Oahu, this is definitely a MUST!

This was by far the highlight of our whole trip. The guides were excellent at reading the experience of everybody on the boat and they first took us to a nice coral reef where everybody could warm up with their snorkeling experience where we saw tons of fish and were very close to multiple sea turtles. Then we went to look for dolphins and wow, did we hit the jackpot! We found a huge pod of pilot whales and had two opportunities to carefully swim in the water with the whales! Then we found a pot of spotted dolphins who were all very happy to come and swim by the boat draft at the front of the boat. So whether you were in the boat or chose to go in the water, you got a really great up close dolphin experience!

We were picked up from our hotel about an hour away from the shop and everyone was very friendly and welcoming. Our guides were Ashley and Jenna and they were brilliant. We got to see two types of dolphins and got to swim with both. We also got to swim with turtles and tropical fish. It was such a surreal and amazing experience and we would really recommend it to everyone.
