Reviews of Dolphin Quest
"You get 30 minutes in the water with the dolphins. It is on the property for Waikoloa Village. Just under $300 per person. You get to help the dolphin with some tricks and a couple photos are taken by staff. The staff is friendly. There is a lot of interaction packed into the 30 minutes. You can swim with the dolphin by putting your hand on their back and swimming along side it. You have masks as well, so you can watch them under water. The staff will help the dolphins to do some jumps and tricks for you to see only a couple feet away. The dolphins also talk to you! The experience looks to be in small groups of 5 or less."
"Such an amazing experience! Our grandkids fell in love with the dolphins, who each have their own personality. The trainers were excellent with the kids and the dolphins! They took time to answer questions and educate them, not just swim. A must do at this resort!"
"Such a wonderful experience! You get good quality time with the dolphins and instructors and allowed a lot of interaction. Very educational and they take a lot of pics to purchase of your experience. Highly recommend."
"This place is amazing. The trainers are kind and knowledgeable. The animals appear happy and aren't forced to do anything they aren't comfortable with. This was an amazing way to start of my sons birthday celebration"
"We have visited the Big Island and Hilton resort many times just to view the dolphins. This year our kids were the perfect age to jump in the water and get a 1:1 dolphin experience. Even though they were in a group with another family it didn’t deter the amount of time and experience they got to have with the dolphins. The trainers, photographer, and dolphins were a delight and lifelong memory for my kids. Highly recommend the experience especially for ages 7-12."
