Pick up was from the resort and our driver and his assistant left a lot to be desired. Said nothing, was short when it came to getting us on and off bus, explained nothing....If I could score this separate, he would get -1 BUT the boat and crew were the BEST - so 4 it is (sorry crew). Boat ride was excellent, explained where we were going, what we would see, and pointed out several points of interest on the way. Dolphins were the BEST! We got close enough, but not to close, to see mom and dad dolphins training the babies and then we left the beach area to go further out to sea. While we were on this path we ate a wonderful grilled lunch and saw flying fish and turtles. After lunch we got to see dolphins 'playing' with the boat and doing tricks for us. After it was back to shore and a bus drive to our resort. NOTE: the return bus ride was excellent! The driver talked to the group about his knowledge of the island and pointed out sights.
Fantastic! We saw whales as well a the Spinner dolphins which are only found in Hawaii. the crew were really friendly and fun.
Very good, although I felt the actual sightings of dolphins were a little limited not enough time was spent with the dolphins themselves. But crew was professional, courteous and service was excellent.
We boarded the catamaran at 10 a.m., road to a spot where dolphins are known to frequent, found a group of dolphins, and followed them for 30 min. We ate hamburgers at around 10:45 (WAY too early in my opinion). Then we were back to shore by noon. Overall it was okay. We saw dolphins!
Lunch could have included more than a burger and condiments. Dolphins were nice but trip went much quicker than anticipated.
The crew was nice, but there was a small craft advisory; I wasn't sure if the tour would go on. When the bus picked us up, I figured that they know what they're doing. 90% of the guests became ill due to rough seas. We should not have gone on that tour, and the captain should have known better.
