- On the Kona coast of the Big Island of Hawaii, we are graced with the presence of over 800 Hawaiian Spinner Dolphins and smaller pods of Spotted Dolphins and Bottle nose Dolphins. Hawaiian Spinners Dolphins are the most regular visitors to the shores along the Kona coast. Almost daily, they come into near-shore areas, to rest, play and interact. Nearly everyone, of all ages and snork-ability, can swim with the dolphins. This is rated by all accounts as a phenomenal experience.We also enjoy year-round Pilot Whales, Manta Rays, Turtles and other colorful reef life. Seasonally we are visited by Humpback Whales which we frequently see during our dolphin excursions.
