Ask the Big Kahuna

"Answering the most common visitor questions"


Question:

Is there any place in particular where we can swim with turtles and dolphins in their natural surroundings? We heard there is a place on Oahu but it sounded like a park, and you know how that is!

Thank you,

Beverly


Response:

Dear Beverly,

Swimming with dolphins and turtles in their natural habitat can be dangerous and even illegal - if you get too close. Hawaii protects its wildlife and its visitors, so your best bet for contact in the wild remains trying a reputable snorkelling, diving or boating company, which can take you to the places where safe sightings might occur.

Check the activities section for each island for a wide range of aquatic activities or click below to go directly to providers.
