Although we have a variety of dolphins that inhabit Hawaii's waters year round, there are a few that are more prevalent during certain months. The Hawaiian Spinner dolphin and Pacific Bottlenose are the most abundant, and can be seen almost every day. The Spinner dolphin is generally spotted near shore, and the Bottlenose dolphin is seen both near shore and in deep water.
Some dolphins only reside in deep water like the Rough-tooth dolphin.
We have also seen the Risso dolphin on occasion. Click here for some pictures of spinner dolphins that were taken on our tour by our captains and crew.
