About Dolphins

Dolphins are one of the most intelligent creatures in the ocean.  Stories are told of Dolphins saving the lives of sailors lost at Sea or coming to our rescue in time of need. This special bond that exists between humans and Dolphins is yours to discover in person. Some people get so overwhelmed that they cry or become speechless. This is a once in a life time excursion into the warm, blue waters of Hawaii to become part of a relationship that few will ever experience. You'll discover first hand what makes this bond something that has captivated the human heart for generations. All excursions are lead by seasoned island naturalists with years of experience. People have noticed improvements mentally, emotionally and physically after being with dolphins.

Common Behaviors

Hawaiian Spinner Dolphins are found feeding in the coastal waters offshore at night. 
During the day, they move into waters near shore and protected bays to rest and play.
Dolphins at rest will surface for only brief periods of time, sustaining long deep dives
together. In this state they show little interest in humans.
Play mode is indicated by an increase in their aerial behavior, vocalization, splitting into smaller groups, and speeding up, generally favorable conditions for dolphins to initiate an encounter with humans.

• Let the dolphins approach you. Maintain a quiet, relaxed manner when swimming among or near them. Avoid separating dolphins from the pod at large.
• Swim with your hands by your sides. Chasing after, reaching for, or touching the dolphins will frighten or startle them, and they will move away.
• Leave foreign objects ashore, such as rope, plastics, or play-toys. Dolphins prefer to find and play with leaves and other organic debris. Follow their lead.
• Trust in nature’s food supply. To attempt to feed wild dolphins would be harmful to their health needs as well as their social behaviors.
• Be sensitive to dolphin behaviors. If they are in a state of rest or traveling, please respect that they may choose not to interact with you. Honor their habitat.
• Be considerate. Watch out for other swimmers, allowing them adequate space for an intimate encounter.
• Be cautious approaching by boat. Watch for swimmers. When near whales and dolphins, go slowly, quietly and with focused attention so as not to disturb or change
their course or behaviors.
• Avoid sudden actions or noise. Erratic changes in speed, direction, or sound can confuse or startle dolphins.

A note to the traveler

KauaiQuest Adventures provides education and instruction for your safety and enjoyment. It is our goal and of utmost importance to provide you with guidance on how to have a fulfilling experience in a Marine environment. This may include dolphins, whales, tropical fish, coral reef, and turtles. Many people sign up for our Adventures who are not good swimmers or who have never snorkeled before. This is perfectly okay, but while we may not be able to teach you how to swim in such a short time, we do however, recommend that you take our snorkeling class ($50) prior to going on a Dolphin or other snorkeling adventure.
