A highlight on our Napali boat trip was the sight of Hawaii's beautiful spinner dolphins: who literally spin, when they jump out of the water. These playful animals are a delight, for kids and adults both. Several raced alongside our catamaran, at a terrific speed.
This gets my vote as the best way to see dolphins: in the wild, and freely enjoying themselves.
We also saw sea turtles, on our boat trip in August, and had a snorkeling stop. If you want to see even bigger marine life, visit in winter, and take a whale-watching boat trip on the south coast.
