We did the Best of the West tour August 22nd, and, it is one of the highlights or our trip to Hawaii. It can be your highlight as well because before even leaving the port, the crew finds out what you want out of the tour. With only 6 passengers, it is an extremely personal trip, and, the boat is all yours! We did see all three spieces of dolphins native to this area, and, were able to get in the water with the spinners and watch them swim and hear them communicate. On several different occassions, we had dolphins ride both the bow and the wake of the boat, it was very up close and personal and they are so beautiful. We also had a chance to snorkel with sea turtles. The captain and crew were there to remind us also that we needed to respect the homes of this beautiful wildlife as well.
