    Took my 10 year old daughter to Hawaii July 27-Aug 1 we went with indigo on July 28th and had the most magical experience! Not only did we see spinner dolphins, swam with spotted dolphins, but swam with pilot whales. My daughter’s biggest dreams came true that day at 10 years old. They were so accommodating even helping take on swimming with my daughter so I could experience it fully too! The moment they said mama I got your girl look down every worry in my world washed away. They were like friends I had my whole life, such amazing people. Photos were amazing over 200 pictures were taken on the trip. To top it off even lunch was amazing. You honestly can’t ask for a better team to take you out and experience the deep blue ocean. I will forever be grateful for Helmand will ALWAYS use them when I go to Hawaii. Thank you for making my girls dreams come true and making our trip so magical we appreciate you all more than you’ll ever know. Mahalo 😘
