Dolphin Discoveries offers a wide range of marine experiences, from thrilling night snorkeling encounters with manta rays to daytime snorkel excursions, captivating dolphin watch and snorkel tours, whale-watching adventures along the stunning Kona coastline, and personalized private boat charters tailored to your preferences.
Both merchants are located in Phase I of the Center, with Clover and Mug operating daily from 7:30 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. and Dolphin Discoveries & Ocean Adventures operating daily from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
