Well I am back from Hawaii and back to work, after a day of returning emails, processing orders and working on projects I thought I would take a little break and share some images of the most amazing experience!

For the record I did not swim with dolphins, they swam with ME! ( I note this not only because its illegal to bother the dolphins but because its pretty sweet that they chose to interact with me!)

So we were on a snorkel excursion with Sea Quest Adventures, right away we saw a pod of dolphins, and I was so excited!!! So then we went to our first snorkel spot and the dolphins showed up again. Captain Steve said we couldn’t join the others that who were all rushing over to swim with them (cuz Sea Quest is so reputable and its not allowed) so I was a bit bummed. Then a bit later heading to our next snorkel spot we spotted another HUGE pod of spinner dolphins swimming next to us, I was just so excited. They were just about close enough to touch (but we didnt of course!)! Amazing!!! So then about a 20 minutes later we arrived at the second snorkel spot of the day and when I went in the water it was suggested I start swimming out to sea, I kept lifting my head and Alex was telling me to just keep swimming. A few minutes later they yelled for me to look in the water and this is what I saw… no zoom in these images! this is how close they were!!!

I shed a tear in my snorkel mask! It was amazing!!!

That’s super cool!!!

WOW, amazing photos Heather! Sounds like a life changing experience! So happy you had a great time! xox

Wow!!! Amazing!! It’s on my bucket list to swim with dolphins!

lol I wrote it as it happened and nothing was wrong with that :) We didnt I didnt swim to the dolphins I just swam out to the path that the dolphins swam through :) When I saw the dolphins I stopped and let them all swim by! SO nothing wrong :) We didnt reach, chase or cause any disturbance to the dolphins they just swam on by :)

lol his name was Steve (did I write Dan) and there was nothing wrong with what we did. I didnt swim to the dolphins I just swam out to the path that the dolphins swam through :) When I saw the dolphins I stopped and let them all swim by! SO nothing wrong :)

Ummmmm no, that’s not what happened!
Dan told us NO such thing, cause that would be against state regulations and could get us a fine!
As I remember Dan told us Not to swim over! Buuuut that if they just happened swim by US (which they did =) as you can see from the photos) that we wouldn’t get in trouble.

Hehe, I was terrified there were so many of them, but it was freaking amazing for sure and would have been well worth a fine!!!!!

ps- can’t wait to see more pics :)

wow!! Heather, that is amazing. I think I would have drowned with excitment haha.
