Dolphin Discoveries - Dolphin Discovery Adventure
Enjoy a snorkel cruise along the Big Island’s scenic Kona Coast. The crew of Dolphin Discoveries have nearly 20 years of experience in looking of wild dolphins, and they have the utmost respect for not disrupting them while they are resting or nursing. Instead of chasing after them, they let the dolphins choose whether they want to interact.
Your adventure starts off cruising along the shore looking for one of the many pods of dolphins that are seen here. If possible, the crew will let you into the water to swim with the dolphins (after the dolphins have shown signs of being inviting to swimmers). After viewing and/or swimming with the dolphins, the tour continues to a fantastic snorkel site where you can enjoy swimming and snorkeling over a pristine reef and see a wide variety of marine life. Green sea turtles are often seen as well.
