"Best trip on the island. The experience was amazing! We did Atv, Jurassic tour, Helicopter, zip lining and a number of other items. But this was the best thing we did the whole time. We seen whales, 3 types dolphins, turtles and many fish"

"I had the most incredible experience chasing dolphins with Aloha Ocean Adventures. From the start, it was clear we made the perfect choice; their intimate charter hosts a maximum of 6 people, ensuring personalized attention and care throughout our journey. This exclusivity contributed significantly to the quality of our adventure, making us feel like VIPs on the ocean. The tour itself is relatively new, having launched just last year, which meant everything from the boat to the equipment was in pristine condition. The "Saltie Girl" was our vessel for the day, and she was not only new but incredibly comfortable, making our time on the water even more enjoyable. What truly set this experience apart were our guides, Shanti and Sam. Their passion for the ocean was infectious, and their knowledge of the island and its marine life was impressive. They shared fascinating facts and stories about the dolphins and the local ecosystem. The highlight, of course, was the dolphins. Spotting spinner dolphins just five minutes in, we embarked on what felt like a mission impossible: predicting their movements and placing ourselves in their path for a magical encounter. Shanti and Sam's experience and skill in locating the dolphins and providing timely instructions made this thrilling chase possible. After the dolphin encounter, we also got to snorkel with sea turtles in a more calming setting. It was an exhausting yet exhilarating adventure, swimming with a huge pod of spotted dolphins in the open ocean—a surreal experience that unlocked a core memory for me. This tour with Aloha Ocean Adventures was genuinely worth every moment. The combination of a small group, a new and comfortable boat, and the charismatic and knowledgeable guides made our dolphin chasing adventure unforgettable. I am already looking forward to doing this tour again on my next visit. It's an absolute must-do for anyone wanting to connect with the ocean and its incredible creatures in a unique and intimate way."

"Shanti and Sam took our family out to see dolphins and to look for whales. This included our two 18 year olds, our 20 year old and our 17 year old niece. We ended up seeing a ton of spinner dolphins. They would swim right by the boat. Shanti found pilot whales for us to swim with too. There were a ton of them. The kids loved this part! This trip is so worth it - having two local individuals take us on a smaller boat with just our family makes it so much more personal. Shanti and Sam were very knowledgeable and fun to hang out with. It was great getting to meet them and hang with them for the day! This is a definite must if you’re in Oahu!"

"One of my favorite experiences EVER hands down!! ...Where do I even start!? 1) The crew was so friendly personable and I learned a ton about Hawaii and it's marine life! 2) I have been on big boats with 40+ guest before & it feels like your battling to get in out of the water, get food and snacks, get access to gear and if your lucky you’ll see some wild life off in the distance… this was the opposite it was practically a private charter where all the attention is on you having an amazing experience! 3) The captain seemed to be in-tune with nature and know exactly where to go the whole time, my expectations where obliterated by the amount of wildlife and dolphins I got to see and swim with! Closing thought... do yourself the favor of truly experiencing Hawaii like the locals do, skip the big touristy boats and book yourself an experience with Aloha Ocean Tours!"
