Dolphin Quest

"Fascinating, but spendy"

This is one of a few options for dolphin encounters on the Big Island of Hawaii.  It is located on the Hilton Waikoloa Resort property, which is an experience in itself to visit.  If you can get past the problem of keeping dolphins in captivity and want to enjoy and up-close encounter, keep this place in mind.  Having compared a few options on the islands, this one is one of the most expensive--well over $100 for a 10-minute encounter (and rapidly rising in cost after that).  You may have the option to do a lower cost or free encounter if you want to sit through a two-hour sales spiel at the Resort. Check with one of the several time share sales offices on site for this option.
