Swim With the Dolphins!


Isn't he cute! Not to mention Danny. I love the Hawaiian language so I thought it would be fun to translate our names. Danny in Hawaiian is "Kani" or Daniel is "Kaniela".

In Hawaiian, Joey's name is "Ioei". Joseph is "Ioekipi" and Joe is "Ioe" or "Koe".
Kenzie, we teasingly call Ki-Ki! Her Hawaiian name is "Kenikie".


Sean, Joey, Sarah, Kenzie, and Jillaine (clockwise from bottom left)
Sarah or as we affectionately call her Sarahbelle. In Hawaiian her name is "Kala".


Isabella's Hawaiian name is "Ikepela" or Bella as we sometimes call her is "Pela".
Joey, Jillaine, and Sean . Jillaine is "Iilaine" and Jill is"Kila". Sean is "Kana".



Isabella and Danny
The Stars of the show... Na' Noa and Kohele!


Dolphin Quest is a program offered at a few locations that educates while providing a fun interactive experience in the water with the dolphins. I have always wanted to do this and am so glad we finally did. It is kind of pricy but well worth it if you can fit it into your vacation budget. We had so much fun!
I found the Hawaiian names on www.alohafriendsluau.com.
