Welcome to the amazing Dolphin Discoveries - Dolphin Swimming Trips, the result of Captains Kevin & Claudia Merrill's love of the ocean and the wonderful animals that live within.
The Merrill's have lived in Kailua Kona, Hawaii, off the coast of the United States, since the 1980's and for years have been studying and photographing the marine mammals in Kailua Kona as well as the Pacific Northwest, Alaska, Tonga, the Cook Islands and New Zealand. Their special interest is with the Spinner Dolphins, Pilot Whales, Bottlenose and Spotted dolphins, Green Sea turtles as well as seasonal Humpback Whales. Dolphin Discoveries - Dolphin Swimming Trips, offer a unique learning adventure to observe and learn about dolphins, whales and other marine life that goes far beyond the ordinary tourist boat.
Dolphin Swimming Trips, a 4 hour adventure is focused on finding the Hawaiian Spinner Dolphins and/or the Spotted Dolphins and spending quality time with them. You will get to interact with the dolphins while learning about them and getting great photo opportunities both above and below the surface. Guests may get to swim with the dolphins depending on where they are and what they are doing. Our local knowledge and expertise in finding the dolphins comes from 15 years of experience, whale watching, and snorkeling Tours in Kailua Kona, Hawaii.
Utmost care is given not to disrupt their rest, nursing and breeding behaviors. We do have a high success rate of finding the dolphins and letting them "choose" whether to interact with us or not. When they do choose to interact with us, it is truly magical and can be a life changing experience. One example is when the dolphins are "playing the leaf game" they will often bring the leaf or "toy" over to a swimmer as if inviting them to play with them.
