Hawaiian Spinner Dolphins

Woke up one morning while staying at the Four Seasons Lanai and there was a pod of well over 100 Hawaiian Spinner Dolphins playing in Hulopoe Bay right in front of the hotel. I grabbed my snorkel gear and my camera and spent the next 3 hours in the water surrounded by leaping and playing dolphins. Also saw sea turtles and a Hawaiian monk seal! People pay a lot of money for dolphin encounters but this was free and absolutely wild. Spectacular experience that apparently happens about once a week with the resident dolphin pod at the Four Seasons Lanai.
