Dolphins in Hawaii lead active and playful lives. From hunting in the morning to resting in the afternoon, their days are filled with exciting activities. Curious about what dolphins do in a day? Read on to learn about their routine and how you can see them in action during our morning dolphin watching tours!
Early Morning: Dolphins Start Their Day
Dolphins in Hawaii are early risers. As the sun rises, they begin their day with a burst of energy—hunting for food and socializing with their pod. Morning is when dolphins are most active, making it the perfect time for our morning tours!
Breakfast Hour: Hunting and Bonding
Dolphins work together to catch fish in the morning. This time is essential for social bonding within the pod, strengthening their connections as they share their catch.
Playtime: Acrobats in Action
After breakfast, dolphins love to show off their acrobatics! From flips to spins, these playful creatures entertain anyone watching, making it a great time to see them in action during our morning dolphin-watching tours.

Mid-Morning: Resting and Recharging
By mid-morning, dolphins slow down a bit. They don’t sleep like humans but engage in unihemispheric sleep, where one half of their brain rests while the other stays alert. This allows them to keep swimming and breathing while still getting the rest they need.
Dolphins’ Power Naps
Even during their power naps, dolphins are always aware of their surroundings. They might float near the surface or swim slowly, but they’re never fully asleep.
