Private Dolphin And Snorkeling Tours Hanalei

Bottlenose Dolphins

This Dolphin Tour boat has a maximum of six passengers. That's six more than the 175-person capacity of larger tour boats. Larger groups create too much noise, which can disturb the dolphins, driving them away. The best part is that we will quickly get you in to the water, and not scare away the dolphins.

The water is home to a variety of birds. There are raptors like bald and ospreys. There are also shorebirds like great blu egrets. And there are seabirds like majestic frigatebirds. Sometimes we see deer.

Our boats can be used for cruising. You can also enjoy swimming with dolphins and watching them in their natural environment.

Mnemba Island Tour

We depart from the docks in Off the Hook Bar & Grill near the Thomas Drive bridge at 1101 Bayview Avenue Panama City FL, 32401.

Sea Life

Do you want to arrange a private tour for your company? You can extend the time of your private dolphin tour up to 2 hours or 3 hours. Thirteen people can be accommodated in a boat. Your captain will direct you on how to get in and view the dolphins as they live in their natural environment. Next, you can take a guided snorkeling trip around Shell Island to observe the other marine life.

We had a wonderful experience. The captain was an amazing captain. Even showed us a jellyfish type that doesn’t sting. We stopped at a beach with lots of shells. All had a great experience and will certainly return.

What is the best time to go dolphin watching

You can cruise in one of our boats designed for cruising, while you watch beautiful dolphins in the wild and swim with them.

We also often see manatees. Manatees can be seen if conditions permit. However, we prefer passive observation so that they are not tempted to approach us.
