About Kona Ocean Experience

Swim with dolphins and mantas! This is NOT your standard “pack-’em in” shoulder-to-shoulder dolphin swim. We provide a real experience, with plenty of time to enjoy swimming with wild dolphins, while also taking the time to explore the Kona Coast in search of any number of seasonal sea creatures such as sea turtles, pilot whales, humpback whales, spotted dolphins, hammerheads, etc. Our day time snorkel tours end with a relaxing swim in the pristine waters of Kealakekua Bay, often considered the best spot to snorkel in ALL Hawaii.

Because we limit our customers to six per boat, we have plenty of room, plenty of individual attention, and plenty of time (four hours) to ensure that we can get to everything and still have time to relax. Our snorkel tours are the premier product, with something for the entire family, and guaranteed to leave you longing to come back! Guaranteed dolphins and mantas!

What people are saying about Kona Ocean Experience

Close Up with Wild Dolphins

"Kona Ocean Experience delivered a great half-day trip and I got within touching distance of several groups of dolphins. Most amazing experience ever. The organizers were very careful with our safety and experience and responsive for questions. Very recommendable small business for more personal experience."

Amazing

"Had an amazing time getting up close and personal with a manta ray! Small group much better than one of the larger ones with strangers!"

Mantas & Spinner Dolphins in the Wild!

"Had the pleasure of recently booking two trips with Kona Ocean Experience. Did the dusk trip to see the mantas and a morning trip to go see the spinner dolphins. Both trips were great and well worth the price."

Another Fun Trip

"Second time using Kona Experience and we would use them again, Our guides Brain and Dave were super respectful of the wildlife and gave us some cool information about the island and it’s history."
