Sunlight on Water We whole-heartedly believe in the sanctity and safety of these amazing mammals, the Dolphins and Whales, and our respect for them flows into every aspect of what we do.

ACTIVITIES:

Dolphin Swims E Komo Mai! Welcome... Come experience a morning swim with us and the Dolphins on the beautiful Kona Coast on the Big Island of Hawaii! The Hawaiian Spinner Dolphins are year round residents so you can expect to see them whenever you are in Hawaii... SunLight On Water, with Melainah, Michael and their staff, offer you the opportunity to have an experience that you will easily remember for the rest of your life swimming with Dolphins that are wild and free in their natural habitat. There is nothing that compares to the feeling of being in the ocean with the Dolphins! You can see Dolphins on TV, can visit them in captivity, and you can even see them from a boat but swimming with them in their natural ocean habitat is a unique and magical experience that can touch you in ways you might not be able to imagine. We've been conducting Dolphin Swims longer and more successfully than any other Hawaiian Dolphin Swim eco-tour operator 15 years! We have a 98% success rate and we will even guarantee that we will find the Dolphins! Equally important is the context within which we offer our tours. Our philosophy is one of total respect for the Dolphins, all marine life and the ocean. Your journey will start with a Hawaiian Ceremony to greet the day, and then it's off to the adventure of a lifetime, a morning swim with the Dolphins! Simply put, the experience is transformative, and it's frankly impossible to fully articulate. Dolphins are amongst the most intelligent beings on the planet and being with them in their own habitat will amaze you. Imagine your excitement as we cruise out to where the Dolphins live and play. As we are making our way along the Kona Coast, relax and let yourself enjoy the feel of the wind and notice how the sun glints off the surface of the Ocean, hence our name, SunLight On Water. Take in the beautiful color of the Ocean as she beckons to you... The setting is perfect... And then you see them-- Spinner Dolphins spinning in the air to greet you! They love to ride the bow wake of our boat. They are sleek and graceful and exude absolute joy.

Night Manta Snorkeling Imagine having a Manta Ray with up to an 17' wing span come within inches of you!! It is so exciting!! Manta Rays are beautiful sea creatures that live in our warm tropical waters. They are completely harmless--they have No teeth, No stingers, No barbs. The Manta Ray is one of Hawaii's most fascinating and stunningly beautiful sights. We invite you to have yet another experience of a lifetime...a night snorkel with these "butterflies" of the Ocean.

Whale Watching (December thru April) Come Whale Watching with SunLight On Water and see the Humpback Whales, the most majestic creatures on earth. Fully grown, they can be 40-45 feet long, and weigh 80,000 pounds! The Hawaiian Island chain constitutes one of the world's most important habitats for the endangered North Pacific Humpback Whale and offers some of the best Whale watching in the world. Hawaii is the only place in the U.S. where Humpbacks breed, calve, and nurse their young. Scientists estimate that two-thirds of the entire North Pacific population (approximately 4,000-5,000 Whales) migrate to Hawaiian waters each winter, where boats like ours carefully navigate amongst them providing unrivaled Whale watching opportunities.
