Swim with Wild Dolphins, Big Island
By A.R. Royo
An alternative to swimming with dolphins in captivity like Oahu’s Sea Life Park is offered on the Big Island of Hawaii. Here, you can take one of three swim-with-dolphins-in-the wild-tours from the Kona Coast of Hawaii.
Wild dolphins are not trained or fed. The ocean is their natural habitat — their home – and humans are their welcome guests. On wild dolphin tours, participants start by watching dolphins from the boat and only join the dolphins in the water when the situation feels right.
Snorkeling Molokini Crater, Maui
By A.R. Royo
One of Maui’s most popular attractions, Molokini “crater,” is technically no crater at all. It is actually a crescent-shaped, partially submerged volcanic cinder cone. Molokini is located in the middle of the Alalakeiki Channel, about 3 miles west of South Maui’s Makena State Park, and 3 miles northeast of the island of Kaho’olawe.
