Swim with wild dolphins!
Dolphins are one of the most intelligent creatures in the ocean, often found in literature as a savior of humans, coming to our rescue in the most dire of situations. This special bond that exists between humans and dolphins is yours to discover in person, face to face. This is a once in a life time excursion into the warm waters of Hawaii to become part of a relationship that has existed since man found the ocean.
You'll discover first hand what makes this bond something that has captivated the human heart for generations. All excursions are lead by seasoned island naturalists with years of experience on the Wai'anae coast. Hydrophones are also used to listen in on the dolphins and the whales.
