Dolphin Snorkel/Swim with Sea Wolf Charters

The Dolphin experience of a lifetime!

Hawaii is an awesome place to snorkel with dolphins in the wild. The most common dolphin to snorkel and swim with is the Hawaiian Spinner Dolphin. The Spinner Dolphin is sometimes referred to as the Long-snouted Dolphin. There are approx. 1000 Spinner Dolphins that call the Big Island water’s home! We also have Spotted Dolphins, Pilot Whales and small pods of Pacific Bottlenose Dolphins here in Hawaii. The Dolphin Swim Tour: Our 35' rigid inflatable dive boat; “Sea Wolf”, departs twice a day to snorkel and swim with wild dolphins of the coast of beautiful, sunny Kailua-Kona. The Sea Wolf has an extended step ladder in the stern of the boat making getting in and out of the water very easy. Once the Sea Wolf leaves the marina, Captain Bart along with fellow captain and deckhand, Lars, locate the pods of dolphins and position the Sea Wolf near the pod. When Captain Bart gives the go ahead you may enter the water as the pod of dolphins swim by. Sometimes the dolphins are in a hurry to get somewhere and just swim by us...and sometimes they are curious and stay with our group for quite awhile. If the pod does leave us we will simply call everyone back to the boat and locate the next pod.

This tour lasts 1.5 to 2 hours and includes all snorkel equipment, flotation devices, towels, snacks and beverages. Please remember that we do not guarantee dolphin sighting on every trip as these are wild animals that we are viewing in their natural habitat. Our dolphin sighting chance, however for the morning tour is 95% and 85% chance for the afternoon tour! Even if the dolphins choose to ignore us on your scheduled trip, still expect to see gorgeous coral reefs, tropical fish, green sea turtles and many other ocean-wonders that Hawaii has to offer.

For this tour, you may either drive yourself to Honokohau Harbor to board the boat, or jump in a free shuttle from the Lobo Del Mar Café on Ali’I Drive.
