Q&A

Q: Is there a weight limit for the boat during the dolphin watching tour?

A: Yes, there is a weight limit for the KIBOU speedboat, but it's pretty generous. Generally, they accommodate up to 600 lbs total for safety. If you're planning to go with a larger group, just check with the provider ahead of time. It’s best to make sure everyone can enjoy the trip comfortably!

Q: What should I wear for the snorkeling part of the tour? Is a wetsuit needed?

A: You don’t need a wetsuit for this tour! Just wear your swimsuit and maybe a rash guard for sun protection. They provide snorkeling gear, so just bring a towel and some sunscreen. Flip-flops or water shoes are perfect for getting back on the boat too.

Q: Can you reschedule if the weather is bad, and how quickly do they notify you?

A: Yes, they’ll notify you if the weather looks bad, typically a day before your tour. You can easily reschedule, which is nice considering how unpredictable the weather can be in Hawaii. Just reach out to them as soon as you get the message, and they’ll help find another spot for you!

Considering the dolphin tour as a gift for my partner!

Hey all! I'm thinking about getting the dolphin watching and sea turtle snorkel tour for my boyfriend's birthday. He loves the ocean but has never snorkeled before. Do you think this would be a good first experience? Also, what's the best time to book?
