Dolphins love to swim with you as much as you love to swim with the dolphins!  This is one of the Kona Activities that you simply should not miss out on.  The most common type of dolphin that you would swim with during your Big Island Dolphin Swim is the Hawaiian Spinner Dolphin.  There are hundreds of thousands of spinner dolphins that inhabit the waters of the Big Island Hawaii.  The Kona Coast’s waters are clean and give Hawaiian dolphins a great home.  When you swim with the dolphins in Hawaii, you’ll have the chance to view them in their natural habitat.

Hawaiian Spinner Dolphins are about the size of an adult human being and are the smallest dolphins in Big Island Hawaii.  They’re predictable when in their natural territory, as they are regularly encountered here by other groups who want to enjoy swimming with the wild dolphins.  Your guides are friendly and experienced professionals who will teach you about Hawaiian marine wildlife.  During your Big Island Dolphin Swim, you may also spot pacific bottlenose dolphins, spotted dolphins, pilot whales, manta rays, sea turtles, tropical fish, and more!

Once your guide locates a dolphin pod, your group will stop and assist you in entering the water so you can snorkel with these amazing creatures!  Swimming with the wild dolphins is easy, safe and loads of fun.  Swim with the dolphins in Hawaii on their terms and in their turf.  Here are a few tips to keep in mind when you’re getting ready to swim with the dolphins.  Swim gently—please don’t pursue or chase these creatures.   Let them come to you.  Swim with them and remember to respect their personal space.  Keep splashing to an absolute minimum.  Stay near the boat. When swimming with the wild dolphins, keep your hands by your side.  Don’t touch or feed the dolphins, and be respectful and considerate towards them.  Stay alert!  Avoid sudden movements or noise that could startle or scare the dolphins.  Dolphins may swim behind you or under you, but never dive down with the dolphins.
