All Reviews for Snorkeling Cruises & Tours

I was able to see a lot of different types of fish. Unfortunately, I didn't encounter any sea turtles. The coral reef wasn't as colorful as I had hoped, but the water clarity was high. On January 7th, the conditions were said to be the best of the year, and the waves were calm. However, my wife and children, who are not great with the ocean, ended up feeling seasick, possibly due to the wetsuits we rented for warmth, and they couldn't participate until the end. That said, I and the other participants were able to swim comfortably, so it should be fine unless you're really not good with the ocean.

When we were dropped off at Hilton Hawaiian Village, our tour guide Dan recommended some great lunch and dinner spots near the hotel. We went to both places right away, and they were both fantastic. My two kids were also very satisfied, thank you!

たくさん種類の魚を見ることができました。残念ながらウミガメには出会えず。珊瑚礁は色とりどりとまでは行きませんが、透明度は高かったです。１月７日は今年1番のコンディションということで波は穏やかでしたが、元々海が苦手な妻と子供は、寒さ対策のためレンタルしたウェットスーツが原因なのか酔ってしまい、最後までは参加できませんでした。ただ、私や他の参加者は楽に泳げていたので、よほど海が苦手でなければ大丈夫のはずです。
ヒルトンハワイアン ビレッジに送り届けてもらう際にツアーガイドのダンさんに、ホテル近くの美味しいランチ、ディナーのお店を教えていただき、早速たべに行ったところ、どちらの店も最高でした。２人の子供達も大満足でした、ありがとうございました。

My husband wasn't feeling up to swimming in the ocean, but once we reached the sandbar, we played beach volleyball and got caught up in snorkeling, losing track of time and having a great time. As it was my husband's first time snorkeling, he was amazed by the beautiful coral reefs and the schools of fish, repeatedly exclaiming, "This is great! It's beautiful!" Since there were staff who spoke Japanese, we felt no anxiety, and as the boat was primarily for Japanese tourists, we made friends with the people sitting next to us. Under the blue sea and sky of Hawaii, we spent time with the bright and kind staff, learned about the Hawaiian spirit of cherishing nature, and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Thank you very much.

夫は海で泳ごうという気持ちになれなかったのですが、サンドバーについたら、ビーチバレーをしたり、シュノーケリングに夢中になったり、時間を忘れて楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。シュノーケリングが初めての夫は、きれいなサンゴ礁や群がる魚達の様子に感動して「よかった～！きれいだ～！」の連発でした。日本語のできるスタッフでしたから不安もなく、さらに日本人観光客用の船でしたからほとんど日本人で隣の席の方たちとも仲良くなりました。ハワイの青い海と青空の下で、明るく優しいスタッフと一緒に過ごして、自然を大切にするハワイスピリットを学び、満喫しました。ありがとうございました。

Better to go ther on sunny day. Better to bring lunch box by your self

The sandbar was deeper than I imagined from the pictures, and my 6-year-old child seemed to struggle for breath every time a wave hit, quickly wanting to get back on the boat. The weather that day wasn't very good, and the wind made it quite cold, which contributed to my child's lack of enjoyment. However, the local guides and all the staff were really fun and great people, which was wonderful. I hope to go again in the summer when my child is a bit older.

画像から想像したよりもサンドバーは深さがあって6歳のうちの子は波を被るたびに息苦しそうにしてすぐにボートへ上がってしまいました。
当日は天気があまりよくなくて、風で結構寒かったことも子供が楽しめなかった原因になってしまいました。
けれど、現地のガイドをはじめスタッフの皆さんは本当にとても楽しく、よい人ばかりですごくよかったです。
もう少し子供が大きくなったら、今度は夏に行ってみたいなと思います。

I used the service in early January. It might just be the timing, but the day we participated was very windy and quite cold. We borrowed wetsuits, but it was still chilly in the water, making it hard to stay in for long! There were other children participating, around elementary school age, but they seemed a bit down due to the cold, so I think families with kids should choose the season wisely. We did get to see the main dolphins, and we could see them up close from the boat. I encouraged my parents in their 60s to join, but I think they would have enjoyed it more if it hadn't been so cold! Even if you can't swim, wearing a life jacket will keep you afloat. As long as you can kick your legs, you'll be fine. Jumping from the boat and splashing into the water takes a bit of courage too. For those trying snorkeling for the first time, practicing in the bath might be a good idea. Also, due to the strong winds, we couldn't use the kayaks, and there were only three paddleboards available for the number of people, so it felt like a first-come, first-served situation. It's better to think of that as a bonus to avoid disappointment. There was one Japanese guide and about three local staff members, but the locals obviously didn't speak Japanese. Even though it was January, the next day was clear and warm, so this really comes down to luck or timing! It's an activity that requires physical strength.

1月初旬に利用しました。これはタイミングかと思いますが、私たちが参加した日はとても風が強く、とにかく寒かったです。ウェットスーツも借りましたが、水の中にも寒くて長くいるのは辛かった！一緒に参加されていた他のお子さん小学生くらいの子たちがいましたが、寒さで元気がなくなってしまって少しかわいそうでしたので、お子様連れの方は季節選ばれた方がいいかと思います。メインのイルカたちには会えて、船の上からでも近くで見ることができました。60代の両親も思い切って参加させましたが、寒くなければもっと楽しめたかな！泳ぎはできなくても、ライフジャケット着ると浮きます。バタ足で進むことさえできれば大丈夫です。船から足を下にジャンプしてザバーンと入るので、そこもちょっと勇気いります。シュノーケル初めての方はお風呂で練習するといいかと思います。あと風が強く、カヤックは出してもらえなかったのと、パドルボードも人数の割に3つしか道具がないので、早い者勝ちみたいになるので、こちらはおまけ程度に考えておいた方ががっかりしなくて良いかと思います。日本人のガイドさんがひとり、現地の方が3人ほどで、現地の方はもちろん日本語は話せないです。同じ1月でも翌日は良く晴れて暖かかったので、こればっかりは運というかタイミングですね！体力が必要なアクティビティです。

We had a great time on this snorkel cruise! The Na Pali Coast is gorgeous and our crew made the experience that much better by being so friendly and accommodating. They were right there if you needed anything, ready to answer any questions you had and give background information on the island, and were even offering to take pictures for you. We were fortunate to get to see so much marine life from the boat--dolphins, whales, sea turtles, manta rays, and a baby octopus. The only downside is that we wish we could have snorkeled for a longer period of time (because we love it!). The ride back to Kauai from Niihau was definitely rough, but we took Dramamine beforehand and wore sea bands, which all seemed to help. The crew definitely lightened the mood with jokes and took efficient care of those unfortunate few who got sick. We would definitely recommend this excursion!

I participated in the early morning tour on January 3rd with my middle school son. I was worried about the weather forecast, as it mentioned strong winds (which could make us seasick) and low temperatures (which seemed cold), but in the end, it turned out to be a great experience.

Since I had read other people's experiences, both of us took motion sickness medication before getting on the boat, which might be why we didn't feel seasick at all. The cold wasn't too bad after we got off the boat and entered the sea the first time, but after getting back on the boat the second time, I started shivering. However, I had seen from others' experiences that it was a good idea to bring a bath towel and something to wear over our clothes, so we brought bath towels and two of the non-adhesive hot packs each, which helped us warm up quickly. The local guide on the boat even asked, "What is that?" (laughs).

On the bus ride there, we heard various stories from our guide, Julie, and once we were on the boat, everything flowed smoothly. Despite the large number of participants, there were no issues with anyone missing out on anything, which was surprising.

We spotted dolphins relatively quickly after getting on the boat, and everyone jumped in to swim close to them, but it was quite hard (laughs). I don't usually do any sports, so I lagged behind everyone and couldn't see the dolphins underwater until the end. My son said, "The dolphin was swimming right below me!" and I thought that was enough, but when I found out that another person and I hadn't seen the dolphins yet, the local guide helped push me and pull me closer to the dolphins, and I was able to see them safely.

The first time we entered the sea to see the dolphins, I was constantly moving my body, so I was out of breath (laughs), but I wasn't too cold after getting back on the boat. However, during the second time in the sea, we swam more leisurely to watch the sea turtles and other fish, so I didn't move my body much, and I felt quite cold after getting back on the boat.

It was great that we had a photographer with us who took lots of pictures. I brought my own underwater camera, but I had no time to take photos while swimming after the dolphins (laughs).

On the boat, the local guides constantly made us laugh with gestures and communicated with us through gestures, so I think even those who can't speak English can enjoy it quite a bit.

We were able to regain our body temperature by eating warm spam onigiri and snacks, and I think it was a well-organized tour.

1月3日の朝早いほうのツアーに中学生の息子と参加しました。
天気予報を見ていると、風も強いし（船に酔いそう）、気温も低めだし（寒そう）、日本を出発する頃から心配していたのですが、参加した結果、良かったです(^^)
他のかたの体験談を見ていたので、船に乗る前に酔い止め薬を二人とも服用していたせいか船に酔う事もなかったです。
寒さは、一度目に船をおりて海に入った後はそうでもなかったのですが、二度目に海に入って船にあがってからはガタガタ震えてしまいました。
でもそれも、他のかたの体験談からバスタオルや上に羽織るものを持参したほうが良いというのを見ていたので、バスタオルと上に羽織るものと、そして我が家は貼らないタイプのホカロンを一人二つずつ持参していったのですぐにおさまりました。船に乗っていた地元のガイドのかたから「それは何か？」と聞かれましたが(笑)

行きのバスの中ではガイドのジュリーさんからいろいろなお話が聞けましたし、船に乗ってからも流れがスムーズで、参加人数がかなり多かったにも関わらず、誰かに何かがわたっていないなどという事がなかったのが驚きでした。

船に乗って割とすぐにイルカが見つかり、ドボンドボンと全員飛び込んでイルカの近くまで泳いでいきましたが、これが結構ハードで(笑)
普段スポーツなど全くしない私は、皆さんから遅れ気味で最後までイルカを水中で見る事がかなわず、息子は「イルカが真下に泳いでいた！」と言っていたのでもうそれでじゅうぶんと思っていたのですが、私ともう一人のかたがまだ水中でイルカを見ていないと知ると、地元のガイドのかたが私の背中を押して下さったり手を引っ張って下さったりしながらイルカの近くまで連れて行って下さり、無事見る事が出来ました。

一度目にイルカを見に海に入った時は、常に必死で身体を動かしていたせいか息はあがっていたものの(笑)、船にあがってからもそれほど寒くなかったのですが、二度目に海に入った時にはそれぞれゆったり泳ぎながらウミガメや他の魚の泳ぎを見る感じだったので、あまり身体を動かさなかったせいか船に上がってからかなり寒かったです。

今回カメラマンのかたの同行があったので写真をいっぱい撮ってもらえてよかったです。自分でも水中カメラを持参して行ったのですが、イルカを追いかけて泳いでいる時は撮影する余裕が全くなかったりしたので(笑)

船の上で、常に地元のガイドのかたがたがジェスチャーで笑わせてくださったり、ジェスチャーだけでやりとりして下さったりしてくれたので、英語がしゃべれないかたでもかなり楽しめると思います。

温かいスパムおにぎりや、スナックを食べて体温を取り戻せましたし、いたれりつくせりのツアーだったと思います。

This was THE COOLEST snorkel excursion. First they picked us up from our hotel, RAD. They have a marine biologist on board that taught us a lot about the creatures we'd be seeing and the ecosystem which was fascinating. The area they took us to was a gorgeous reef and we saw some amazing fish and sea creatures. The marine biologist was even diving for starfish that he showed everyone and let us pet while we were in the water. We got a good hour and a half of snorkeling and then it was time for a tasty sandwich bar lunch. On the way back was, yes what you've all been waiting for, an OPEN BAR. Those were the best drinks I got on the island. It was awesome, big shout out to the amazing crew.

The crew and boat delivered for us and found the mantas. Would definitely do again.malby

I thought the sandbar would be a beach, but it seems that during the winter season, it only goes up to about knee height. It was said that it's better to enjoy it in the afternoon if you want to take your time. If I participate next time, I think I'll choose the afternoon. I also had fun taking pictures of sea turtles!

サンドバーって砂浜になると思いましたが、冬の時期はまだ膝の下くらいまでだそうです。ゆっくり楽しむなら午後の方が良いとの事でした。次回参加するなら午後をチョイスしてみようと思います。
ウミガメの撮影も出来楽しかったよ！

I was able to see dolphins, whales, and turtles from a distance! I thought it would be expensive because it's Hawaii, but the guide was entertaining, they provided motion sickness medication, and it was great that I could drink alcohol too! ^_^

遠くからでしたが、イルカもクジラもカメも見れました！ハワイだから、高いなだと思ってたけど、ガイドさんも面白くて酔い止めも完備していて、お酒も飲めて良かったー^_^

The guide, captain, cameraman, and all the staff were very kind and clearly loved dolphins. The captain searched for spots with lots of dolphins, and the guide took us to where the dolphins were, so I think even those who are not good at swimming will be fine. I definitely want to use this service again. Thank you very much.

ガイドさんや船長さん、カメラマンさん、その他スタッフの皆さんとても親切でイルカが大好きな方達でした。船長さんもイルカがたくさんいるスポットを探してくれたり、ガイドさんがイルカのいるところまで連れてってくれるので、泳ぐのが苦手な方でも大丈夫だと思います。ぜひまた利用したいです。ありがとうございました。

On the way to Kailua, I felt lucky to see many rainbows. The bus was cold, so I think it's better to have a jacket.

In Kailua, I rented a bicycle and went to the beach. The water was cold and a bit chilly for this season, but many people were swimming. The snorkeling wasn't great, possibly because the spot wasn't good and the waves were big, so I couldn't see much.

After enjoying the ocean, I ran out of time to head towards Kailua Town, but there seemed to be buildings in the middle of both the town and the beach, making it easy to access either. There aren't many helmets available, so if you really want to wear one, I recommend securing it early.

The food was delicious too. It was a large pizza, so we shared it between two people. There were many Japanese staff members who were friendly and easy to talk to. Next time, I want to try kayaking as well.

カイルアへの移動中に虹がたくさん見られて得をした気分になりました。バスの中は寒いので、上着があったほうがいいと思います。

カイルアでは、自転車を借りて海まで行きました。
この季節は水が冷たく少し寒いくらいでしたが、たくさんの人が泳いでいました。シュノーケリングは場所がよくなかったのか、波も大きくあまりよく見えなかったです。

海を満喫したらカイルアタウンのほうまで行く時間が無くなってしまいましたが、町と海の真ん中くらいに建物があるのでどちらも行きやすそうでした。
ヘルメットはあまり数がないので、どうしても被りたい場合は早めに確保するのをおススメします。

食事もおいしかったです。大きいピザだったので、2人で分けて食べました。
日本人スタッフの方も多く、気さくで話しやすかったです。今度はカヤックなどもしてみたいです。

It was a really fun tour!!
Fortunately, we were able to see a pod of dolphins, which was moving. I almost cried in the water.
Even if we hadn't seen the dolphins, the guide and crew were incredibly enthusiastic, so I think you would still enjoy it!
However, the viewing point was where surfers were riding the waves, so it was quite bumpy and I felt a bit nauseous (laughs). Motion sickness medication is a must!
Also, since you never know where the dolphins will appear, you'll be swimming around searching for them. So, you'll need some stamina.

But in the end, I'm really glad I participated!

すごく楽しいツアーでした！！
幸運にもイルカの群れをみることができて
感動。海の中で泣きそうになりました。
ただもしイルカを見れなかったとしても
ガイドさん、船員さんたちがむちゃくちゃ盛り上げてくれるので
楽しめるとおもいます！
ただ、見るポイントがサーファーが波にのる所だったので
揺れが激しく、ゲロゲロでした（笑）酔い止め必須です！
あと、イルカはどこに出るかわからないので
泳ぎまくって探します。なので体力必要です。

でも結果的に本当に参加してよかったです！

The most friendly and courteous staff and crew. Great time snorkeling and sailing. Very nice boat and equipment. Definitely on my to do again list. Thank you and aloha.

I couldn't meet the 270 manta rays because there were reports of sharks that eat mantas... but a few days later, I was able to switch to a dolphin experience! I recommend booking early in your stay so you can make changes if needed. If you bring your smartphone, you can take photos on the boat. There was also time to enjoy the sunset. When we went, we were the only Japanese people there, but we had a Japanese guide who made it enjoyable.

マンタを食べるサメが出没中とのことで270枚いるはずのマンタに逢えず…でしたが数日後のイルカに振り替えて貰えました！行くときは振り替えられるよう滞在の前半に申し込むのがおススメです。スマホ持って行くとボートの中で写真撮ってもらえますよ。夕日を眺められる時間あり。行ったときは私たち以外海外の人でしたが、日本人ガイドが付いて下さって楽しめました。

I was worried because I have little experience with snorkeling, but I received great support and was able to participate with peace of mind. The swim guides seemed to constantly share information about the dolphins, and thanks to their judgment on where to take us, I was able to see many dolphins!

(If the dolphin sighting location is far away, I think it's good to have motion sickness medication for those who are concerned.)

Also, while on the boat, Daisuke, the swim guide, shared a lot of information about the dolphins and always let us know when dolphins were nearby, which made the waiting time enjoyable.

Additionally, we were lucky enough to encounter whales during the winter season, allowing us to experience both dolphin swimming and whale watching, which was a double delight!

There may be other dolphin swim tours, but this tour was satisfying in every aspect, including knowledge about dolphins, support, and the friendliness of the staff! If I have the opportunity to go to Hawaii again, I would love to do this again.

シュノーケリング等の経験が浅いので心配でしたが、しっかりとフォローしてもらい、安心して参加できました★
スイムガイドさん達も常にイルカの情報をシェアしあっているようで、ちゃんとイルカが見られる場所までその場その場の判断で連れてってくださったおかげでたくさんのイルカをみることができました！！＾＾
（イルカの出現場所によっては遠くなることもあるので心配な方は酔い止めがあるといいと思います）

また、船に乗っている間もスイムガイドのダイスケさんがイルカに関する情報を沢山お話ししてくださり、
常にイルカがあそこにいる！ということも教えてくれたので泳ぐまでの時間も楽しむことができました。

さらに冬季限定でクジラも運良く遭遇することができ、ホエールウォッチングもでき一石二鳥の感動を味わうことができました！

ドルフィンスイムツアーは他にもあるかもしれませんが、イルカに関する知識やサポート、スタッフさんの感じの良さ、全てにおいて満足できるツアーでした！！またハワイに行く機会があればお願いしたいです(^^)

We had such a great time snorkeling!! The secondary location was full of sea life and it gave more time to watch for whales. Great trip and we’d definitely go again.

This was my first time in Hawaii, and I only signed up for this dolphin activity. I thought it would fulfill my children's (11 and 6 years old) wish to swim with dolphins!

We were picked up by bus, and on the way to the ocean, we listened to our guide, Julie. I was wondering why it was called Dolphin School, but after hearing her talk, I understood. The dolphins were our teachers! Julie was so energetic, funny, and enjoyable to be around! The distance to the ocean was quite far, but we had a great time learning about the dolphins and the island from her, making the trip feel quick. Julie's love for dolphins was incredible!

When we arrived and finished using the restroom, we headed to the boat, where the Hawaiian captain and the staff were waiting for us! Everyone welcomed us with smiles, and as we boarded the boat, we sang a prayer song and threw flowers into the sea. From there, we set off to find our dolphin teachers. Luckily, we spotted them quite quickly! We immediately put on our goggles and jumped into the water. The staff and Julie guided us, saying, "Look down!" and "Look to the mountains!" so we desperately searched for the dolphins. They were swimming in a pod, making it challenging to keep up. However, we swam slowly so as not to scare them, and the dolphins swam right by us. Some even swam upside down, showing us their bellies. We were able to see these adorable teachers up close! My children seemed thrilled to swim with them. The 6-year-old borrowed a float, which made it easier for him to swim, so that was great.

While moving to the next snorkeling point, we encountered a whale! It seems they returned a bit early this year due to the mild winter. I never expected to see a whale, so I was super excited! It was such a lucky moment! At the next snorkeling point, we discovered a sea turtle gracefully swimming around. I ended up getting too cold and had to go back to the boat with my child, but my husband swam until the end. It was a really fun time, but as soon as we got back on the boat, I started feeling seasick, and by the end, I was struggling with both the cold and the nausea... I regretted not taking motion sickness medication for myself, even though I had given some to the kids. Still, we finished strong with a hula dance graduation ceremony! My sons fell asleep, though... We took a group photo together to wrap up the day.

We saw dolphins, a whale, and a sea turtle, and even spotted seals from the bus on the way back—what a packed tour! The boat had a restroom, we could borrow wetsuits, and the conversations were enjoyable. The only downside was my own health, but I would love to join this tour again when I come back to Hawaii.

If you want to create fun and energetic memories, I highly recommend this tour! Thank you! 😊

今回初めてのハワイでアクテビティはこのイルカ中学だけ申し込みをしていました。
子供たち（11歳、6歳）たってのイルカと泳ぎたい！を叶えてくれると思い申し込みました。

バスでピックアップしてもらい海までの道中、ジュリさんのガイドを聞きながら行きました。
なぜイルカ中学？と思っていましたが話を聞いて納得。イルカは私たちの先生でした！
そして話をしてくれたジュリさんはとにかく元気だし面白いし楽しい！
海まで距離があるのでイルカ先生の知識や島のこと、知らなかったことを楽しく聞けてあっという間の行きでした。ジュリさんのイルカ愛が凄かった！

着いてトイレを済ませて船に向かうと、ハワイアンのパパ（船長）を始めスタッフのお兄さんお姉さん方が待っていてくれました！
みんな笑顔で迎えてくれて船に乗り込むと祈りの歌を歌い花を海へ投げ入れました。
そこからイルカ先生を探しに沖へ。ラッキーなことに結構すぐにイルカ先生たち発見！
すぐにゴーグルなどつけて海へドボン
スタッフのお兄さんやジュリさんが「下見テーーー！」「山ミテーーー！」とイルカ先生のいる方向を支持してくれるので必死に探しました。
群れで泳ぎながら移動しているので追いかけるのが大変でした。それでも驚かさないようにゆっくり泳いでいくとすぐ近くをスイーーと先生たちが泳いでいきました。
中には逆さまにお腹を見せて泳ぐイルカも。
なんとも可愛らしい先生たちの姿を見ることができました！
子供たちも一緒に泳げて嬉しかったようでした。
6歳の方は浮き棒を借りていたので楽に泳ぐことができたのでありがたかったです。

そして次のシュノーケルポイントまで船に上がり移動する間、なんと！クジラ大先生に遭遇！！
今年は暖冬のために帰ってくるのが少し早かったそう。
クジラなんて見れると思ってなかったので大興奮！とってもラッキーでした！
そして、次のシュノーケルポイントではウミガメ大教授発見！気持ち良さそうにフヨフヨと泳いでました。
私は海の冷たさに負けてしまい子供と船に上がってしまいましてが、旦那は最後までしっかり泳いできてました。
すごい楽しい時間だったのですが、船に乗り込んだ早々私自身酔ってしまっていて最後の方は寒さと酔いで大変でした…なので、子供には飲ませていましたが自分も酔い止め飲んでおけばよかったなと後悔。
それでも最後、卒業試験のフラダンスをみんなで踊り元気にフィニッシュ！息子たちは寝ちゃってましたが…
みんなで集合写真を撮って終了しました。

イルカ先生にもクジラ大先生にもウミガメ大教授にもそして帰りのバスからはアザラシを見ることができて盛りだくさんのツアーでした！
船にはトイレもあるし、ウエットスーツもお借りできるしお話も楽しいし自分の体調だけが残念だったけどまたハワイに来た時はまた参加したいなと思えるツアーでした。

とにかく楽しく元気に思い出を作りたい！という方は本当にオススメのツアーです！
ありがとうございました(^^)

The staff members and, of course, the dolphins were all amazing! On the day we were taken care of, there were an incredible number of dolphins, and we even saw whales. They mentioned that it’s not always like this, but for dolphin lovers and ocean enthusiasts, it’s a dream optional tour!!

スタッフの方々や、もちろんイルカも、どれを取っても最高でした！
お世話になった日はイルカがものすごい数でクジラも見れて、毎回こんな感じとは思わないで下さいねーとおっしゃってましたが…イルカ好き、海好きには夢のようなオプショナルツアーです！！

I had a great time on the tour where I got to see whales, dolphins, and turtles that can only be observed in winter.

Since I was wearing a wetsuit, the water temperature wasn't as cold as I expected, but it was very chilly after getting out of the water...

On the bus ride there, despite it being early in the morning, the local guide and photographer was unusually high-energy and engaged with the participants. At first, I was a bit scared because I struggle with English, but he kept the atmosphere lively on the boat, and even now that the tour is over, we still talk about him and I ended up becoming a fan, haha.

I also appreciated that the other guides were very enthusiastic about making the tour enjoyable and ensuring everyone got to see dolphins.

The final hula dance with everyone was chaotic but fun, and it left a lasting memory.

冬季のみ観測できるというクジラ、イルカの群れと亀にも会えて大満足のツアーとなりました。

ウエットスーツを着ていたこともあり、水温は思った程冷たくありませんでしたが、水から上がった後はとても寒かったです…

行きのバスでは、早朝にも関わらず異様にテンション高く参加者に話しかけてくる現地のガイド兼カメラマンさんがいらっしゃり、英語が苦手なこともあって最初は少し怖かったのですが、船の上でも終始盛り上げてくれて、ツアーが終わった今でも、私達の中で話題に出てくる程、最終的にはその方のファンになっていました笑

他のガイドさん達も、このツアーを盛り上げたい、全員にイルカを見て帰ってもらいたいという意識がとても感じられて好感を持ちました。

全員で踊る最後のフラダンス（？）も、カオスでしたが楽しくて、とても思い出に残りました。

I woke up early and participated. While moving on the boat, we encountered a pod of dolphins several times, and I hurriedly took pictures with my smartphone. Then, with the guide's shout, everyone jumped into the sea at once! When I looked down as instructed, I saw more than 20 dolphins swimming together. It was amazing! After that, we challenged the slide and enjoyed swimming. I'm not a strong swimmer, but I wasn't scared. However, my husband got seasick, which made me a bit lonely. There were also a few others who were feeling unwell. I took two motion sickness pills before going, but while swimming, the waves made me feel a bit nauseous. The taro cheese burger for lunch was delicious! Thank you very much!

朝早く起きて参加してきました。船で移動中にも何度かイルカの群れに遭遇し、慌ててスマホで撮影＾＾そしてガイドさんの掛け声でみんな一斉に海の中へ！下を見て！！と言われ見てみると、20頭以上のイルカが群れになって泳いでました。感激でした！後は滑り台に挑戦したり、泳ぎを楽しんだり。私は泳ぎは得意ではありませんが、怖さはありませんでした。ただ、旦那さんが船酔いしてしまい、少し寂しかったです＾＾他にも何名か気分が悪くなっている方がいました。酔い止めを2錠飲んで行きましたが、泳いでいる際も波にゆらゆら揺れるので、船酔いというか、泳いでいるときに少し気持ち悪くなりました笑
ランチのタロイモのチーズバーガーが美味しかったです！ありがとうございました！！

At the sandbar, I was able to practice snorkeling, which made it smooth to explore underwater afterward. I was able to see two sea turtles in addition to the fish.

サンドバーのところで、シュノーケルの練習ができたので、そのあとのシュノーケルを使っての海中散策がスムーズにでき、魚のほかにウミガメを２匹も見ることができた

We were very disappointed with this tour as it's nothing like the video on their ad. First of all the vessels are mechanically disabled so you don't get to operate them; instead you get pushed around by divers. Also the video shows several people in the water at the same time which is also not true. They only had 3 bubbles taking groups of 3 down at a time and when you have 25 people on the tour, you end up spending most of the day waiting around for them to finish. They did offer some fins and snorkels but there weren't nearly enough of them to accomodate everyone that were waiting. I wouldn't recommend this tour, you can find cheaper boat or snorkeling tours for a fraction of the coast. It was kind of like renting a bike where you're not allowed to use the pedals or the handles and someone just pushes you around instead.

It was my first experience at the sandbar. It was somewhat enjoyable. Walking on the sandbar was a bit monotonous. I didn't have any particular complaints. I think those who get seasick definitely need motion sickness medication. I saw some people around me getting sick.

サンドバー初体験でした。
まあまあ楽しかったです。サンドバー歩くのは少し単調でした。
特に不満はありませんでした。
船酔いする人は、酔い止め必須だと思います。
私の回りでも吐いている人がいました。

All the tour guides were kind and very interesting! They shared a lot of love and knowledge about dolphins, which made it enjoyable on its own. They provided precise support to ensure we had a good encounter with the dolphins during the actual tour. It was really fun! I'm glad I chose this tour. I would like to book a tour here again when I go to Hawaii!

ツアーガイドの方がどの方も親切で、とっても面白い！
イルカに対する愛情と知識も沢山話していただいて、それだけでも楽しめました(^^)
実際のツアーでもイルカにしっかり遭遇できるように的確にサポートしてくださいます。
本当に楽しかったです！
このツアーにして良かった☆
またハワイに行くときはこちらでツアーを頼みたいと思います^_^

The weather was not favorable, as it was cloudy and there was a bit of wind, so the scenery was quite different from the photos I had researched beforehand. The sea was cold, and I managed to endure the chill by wearing a wetsuit.

The sea itself was very beautiful because there were sea turtles and fish nearby. The late lunch was also plentiful and delicious, and I enjoyed it thoroughly. I felt it was worth participating, especially since the guides entertained us.

I believe the view would be even more beautiful if the weather is nice and if you go on a morning tour!

天候に恵まれず、曇っていて風も少しあったため、事前調べの写真とはだいぶ異なる景色でした。海は冷たく、ウエットスーツを着てなんとか寒さを凌いだ感じでした。

海自体はとても綺麗でした。なぜなら、すぐ近くにウミガメや魚がいたからです。遅めの昼食も文句なしの量や味で、美味しくいただきました。
ガイドの方々が楽しませてくれたこともあり、参加してよかったと思いました。

天気に恵まれると、そして午前中のツアーだとより綺麗に見えると思います！！

We saw dolphins and whales! The snorkeling was great and the crew was wonderful!!

I was able to meet a lot of dolphins! ✨ Since I can't speak English, I felt reassured by the Japanese staff. Thank you very much! ✨

たくさんのイルカさん達に会わせてもらえました！✨英語が出来ないので、日本語スタッフの方々で安心できましたありがとうございました✨

The sandbar had a beautiful view that I had never seen before. I was able to see sea turtles, and the drink service on the boat was great.

サンドバーは今まで見たことのない景色でとてもキレイでした。
ウミガメも見ることができ、船内のドリンクサービスも良かったです。
