Dolphin


One of the few Pacific Bottlenose Dolphins at The Kahala Hotel & Resort's DolphinQuest program, retrieves a ring tossed to it by one of its trainers.

I was at the hotel to videotape a wedding, and got this shot (among others) after my duties were finished.

As far back as I can remember ... to the late' 60's, The then-Kahala Hilton had a special lagoon built to house dolphins. They were cared for, and trained by the dolphin staff at Sea Life Park. DolphinQuest took over a few years ago, and offer the hotel's guest an opportunity to interact with these intelligent mammals.

What a beautiful animal. I've always loved dolphins. They move through the water so gracefully.
