As someone who grew up on Oahu, I'm skeptical of all the overhyped promises to tourist, but this trip really delivered. I tooky husband and an out of town guest and not only did we see multiple honu, the crew was just super. They were extra helpful with newbies to snorkeling and made everyone feel very welcome.

You can rent a safety box at the rental shop, so you can go to the beach hands-free. We took out pizza and had lunch on the beach. I heard there’s also BBQ on weekdays.

The entire crew on the "Pride of Maui" was wonderful and caring. The trip was awesome. The weather was in our favor. We went out to the Molokini crater and snorkeled while there my son and I tried snuba for the first time and loved it. The guide for that was very knowledgeable and helpful. The videographer was very concerned to get everyone's picture. We moved to a different location to see the turtles and again the crew was concerned that everyone got to see a few of them. The food on board was also enjoyable. The only downside for me and my kids was that it didn't last longer.

I was moved by the experience of rafting and being able to see dolphins up close! It's a rare opportunity in Japan to see them that closely, so I think it was a very valuable experience.
Also, diving into the sea to see fish and coral was, of course, impressive, but the sandwiches, snacks, and fruits we ate on the boat tasted exceptionally good! The boat sped through the sea and made turns! It was thrilling, and I had a lot of fun throughout the experience.
The guide was very kind and made it easy for us Japanese participants to understand by adding gestures.
At first, I was scared because of the speed, but the guide was so entertaining that it turned out to be a great experience. On the way to snorkeling, I was moved by how many dolphins we encountered. I even got to see them jump up close. Snorkeling was great too, as I saw many coral reefs and schools of fish.
Lunch was fulfilling, and the guide cut fresh pineapple and oranges right in front of us. On the way back, we went near an area where we could see various layers of earth and received explanations. I am very satisfied with the experience, which is something I can't do much in Japan.
ラフティングを体験して、
イルカにあんなに近くで見れたことに感動しました!日本ではなかなかあんなに近くで見れないのですごく貴重な体験だと思います。
あと、海にもぐって魚や、サンゴを見れたことはもちろん感動しましたが、船の上で食べるサンドイッチやお菓子、フルーツは格別に美味しく感じました!

Although it was supposed to be a Japanese guide, the bus from the pickup point to the destination was entirely in English with a foreign guide. Moreover, the guide spoke loudly in English, continuously rambling about things that made no sense, which was not only noisy but also very unpleasant. On the return bus, unfortunately, it was the same foreign guide, and there was no proper explanation or guidance, leaving some people confused about which bus to take.
日本語ガイドの筈なのに、ピックアップから現地までのバスの中は外人ガイドで全て英語でした。しかもでかい声で英語でず〜と訳わからないことをしゃべり続けられて、うるさいだけでなく非常に不快でした。帰りのバスに乗る時も、残念ながら同じ外人のガイドで、説明も案内もまともになく、どのバスに乗っていいのかもわからず困っている方もいらっしゃいました。

I participated in the morning session with three friends. Most of the other participants were Japanese as well.
On the boat, there were thorough explanations about the direction to see sea turtles and how to snorkel at the sandbar, making it a fun experience that exceeded the cost of the tour. If the timing is right, it seems the sandbar also appears above the water's surface, so I think it's worth experiencing at least once if you go to Oahu.
午前の回に友人3人と参加しました。まわりの参加者もほぼ日本人でした。
船上ではウミガメの見える方角や、サンドバーについてからのシュノーケリングの方法など、アクティビティの説明もしっかりとあり、ツアー金額以上に楽しい体験ができました。時期が合えばサンドバーも海面に顔を出しているようですし、オアフ島に行くなら一度は体験してみるのもいいと思います。

I was surprised to see manta rays swimming so close. They approached with such force, it was truly impressive. I even touched them a few times.
Also, the banana boat ride to the manta ray spot was a lot of fun, and the sunset viewed from the boat was incredibly beautiful, so there were other enjoyable experiences besides just the mantas.
I had a really great time. Thank you very much.

We participated as a family of three, including our 10-year-old child. Last year's manta night snorkeling was so great that we decided to join Aloha Kona Tours again this year.
I have participated in a wild dolphin tour on Oahu before, but I could only see the dolphins far away and had given up on the idea of seeing them up close. However, believing in Daisuke's words from last year, this year I was finally able to meet many dolphins right beside us!
They also supported our tired child, allowing us to enjoy the dolphins with peace of mind. I would love to repeat this experience. Daisuke's photo collection is also wonderful and healing. Please definitely hold an exhibition in Kansai as well.
10歳の子供を含め家族3人で参加しました。昨年のマンタナイトシュノーケルがとても良かったので、今年もAloha Kona Toursさんに参加しようと決めていました。
野生のイルカをみるツアーはオアフ島で参加したことがありますが、はるか彼方にイルカの姿が見える程度でこんなものかと諦めていたのですが、昨年のダイスケさんの言葉を信じ、今年は念願かなってすぐそばでたくさんのイルカに会うことができました!
泳ぎ疲れた子供のサポートもして頂いたので、安心してイルカを楽しむことができました。
またリピートしたいと思います。

The sandbar is a very special experience. If you haven't been, I think you should go. However, your back can get really sunburned, especially with snorkeling, so I recommend wearing not just sunscreen but also a shirt that can get wet. The hamburgers you eat on the boat are also very delicious. I think it's because it's such a special experience. I highly recommend it.
Also, since the sea is deep at first at the sandbar, if you want to take photos, you need to take precautions like putting your camera in a waterproof bag. I wanted to take pictures, but I was scared of dropping it in the sea, so I regret not being able to take any.
Lastly, there is no Japanese explanation on the bus to the sandbar, so those who are not good at English might feel a bit anxious, but don't worry. Once the tour starts, there will be a Japanese guide, so you can feel at ease. At this time, you can still enjoy the night, so I think it's a good tour to make the most of your day.
サンドバーはとても特別な体験です。もし行ってない人がいれば行くといいと思います。ただシュノーケル含めて背中がものすごく焼けてしまうので日焼け止めだけでなく濡れてもいいシャツなど着て行った方がいいと思います。また船でたべるハンバーガーがとても美味しいです。特別な体験だからだと思います。とてもおすすめです。
あと、サンドバーは最初海が深いので写真を撮りたい人は防水の袋に入れるなどの対応が必要です。写真撮りたかったけど海で落とすのが怖くて写真を撮れなかったのが心残りです。
最後に行きのバスでは日本語の説明がないので英語が苦手な方は少し不安になるかもしれませんがご安心ください。ツアーが始まれば日本語のガイドも付きますので安心です。この時間だとまだまだ夜も遊べますので1日有効に使う意味でもよいツアーだと思います。

I was looking to snorkel around Molokini and get some time sailing ... this package offered both. They have two boats so they offer two start times - 7 and 8 AM. The boats are moored at opposite ends of the marina, which is why they ask you to check in at parking, but they told us pier 99 when they confirmed the night before by phone. The large parking lot, on the opposite side of the marina from pier 99, is still a fine choice, as there is not much parking near pier 99. There is a big shopping center across the street and they direct you to park there, but the marina lot would be a better walk to pier 99. The website tells you to wear deck shoes, but they made us remove our shoes when we boarded the boat and we didn't see them again until we returned to port. They had a large tub of good sunscreen available on board, so you don't need to bring your own. The crew was great - captain Yoshi was friendly and informative, the three mates doubled as snuba instructor, snorkeling advisors and wait staff. The whole crew worked hard to make the fun for everyone. We motored directly to Mokolini, about an hour transit. Breakfast on the way included awesome cinnamon rolls, fruit and coffee. We arrived at Mokolini and started snorkeling. It was too rough for Snuba and soon the wind and waves got worse so Yoshi hauled anchor and we moved to the second snorkel location. I guess this happens frequently so we were lucky to get some time at the iconic spot. Both places had a good variety of fish and we did see a ray at the shoreline location. We had lunch at anchor at the second snorkel location - teriyaki chicken, rice, and salad and ice cream. It tasted really good after all the swimming. After hauling anchor Yoshi secured the engines and we sailed for about an hour, enjoying excellent mai tais and beer. The drink service was a little slow, so we had to push to get our two drinks during the sailing time. In conlcusion - Trilogy was pretty good.

We participated with a friend because the monitor fee was applicable! Since we didn't rent a car during our stay, we took a taxi from Kailua-Kona and arrived at the meeting point, the harbor, for about $20.
There were about 20 participants, so we split into two boats for departure. There were no other Japanese participants, only Westerners. Everything was explained in English, but since there wasn't anything particularly special to do, I think it's fine if you don't speak much English. (They asked if we could speak English at the reception, so if you mention it there, you might receive written explanations. However, the tour is primarily in English.)
The tour itself lasted from around 10 AM to 1 PM, and we went around the Big Island on a high-speed boat. Along the way, we stopped at various points of interest, and the captain provided explanations. We were also told we could jump in when we spotted dolphins. When we found them, it was after the other dolphin tour groups had left, so we were able to see the dolphins up close and at a leisurely pace! We also spotted turtles and fish, and thoroughly enjoyed both rafting and snorkeling. By the way, lunch was just a sandwich, but after swimming, the sandwich and cola were incredibly delicious!
On the way back, our hotel happened to be right in front of the dock, so we were able to get dropped off there, saving on taxi fare. The staff were all very friendly, and overall, it was a satisfying tour.
モニター料金が適用されるということで、友人と二人で参加しました!滞在中レンタカーを借りていなかったため、カイルアコナからタクシーに乗りましたが20ドルくらいで集合場所のハーバーに到着。
参加者が20名くらいだったため、2隻に分かれて出発でした。他に日本人の参加者はおらず、欧米人のみ。説明等全て英語でしたが、何か特別なことをするわけではないので基本的にはそんなに英語が話せなくても問題ないかと思います。(英語が話せるか受付時に聞かれたのでそこで言えば説明書き等もらえるのかも知れません。が、基本的にはツアーは全編英語です。)
ツアー自体は10時~13時くらいまでで、ハワイ島の周りを高速ボートで回る感じです。途中いろんな見どころに寄って船長さんが解説をしてくれます。またイルカを見つけると飛び込んでいいとのこと、他のドルフィンツアーの人たちがいるところで一緒に潜るのに加え、帰り道に見つけた際にはツアーの人たちはもういない時間だったのでかなり近くでゆっくりイルカを見ることが出来ました!他にもカメを見かけたり、魚をみたり、ラフティングとシュノーケル、どちらも満喫できました。ちなみにランチはただのサンドイッチですが、泳ぎ疲れたあとのサンドイッチとコーラは最高においしかったです!
帰りはたまたま滞在しているホテルが船着き場の目の前だったので、そこで下ろしてもらうことができ、タクシー代も節約できました。
スタッフもみなさん親切で、全体的に満足のいくツアーでした。

It was a reassuring tour with guidance in Japanese.
We had a fun snorkeling experience with a British family, an Indian family, a Japanese family, and our couple.
Unfortunately, on that day, due to low tide, the turtles couldn't come into the bay, so we didn't get to see any sea turtles.
To be honest, my expectation was a bit too high, and I felt like saying, "Hmm, is this it...?"
As for the fish... well, I could see them, but just barely.
However, I am very satisfied to say, "I went snorkeling at Hanauma Bay in Hawaii!" (laughs)
This is something that depends on the tides and conditions.
It had quite an international atmosphere, but I enjoyed the tour with solid guidance in Japanese.
I was fine, but he seemed to experience symptoms like motion sickness while snorkeling. Also, although the weather was great, the water temperature felt unexpectedly low, and it was quite cold.
I recommend that those going take precautions.

My family and I had a great time snorkeling. We spent plenty of time in the water at 2 different locations and seen a verity of fish. In the morning we were served a continental breakfast which consisted of a verity of muffins and fruit and in the afternoon we were served lunch which included hamburger and chicken sandwiches and hotdogs for the kids. The crew was very attentive to all, helping us with our equipment and responding enthusiastically to any and all questions. I would sail with this fine group anytime. My only suggestion would be to serve the morning continental breakfast and afternoon lunch while the boat is not moving. The water was a little choppy which made it very difficult to balance while getting ones meal.

I heard the morning group had rain, but our trip was lucky with clear skies, and the sea was incredibly beautiful. We brought a float for our 2-year-old, and it was a big hit; she had a great time.
Lunch on the boat while looking at the sea, eating hamburgers, was fantastic. It’s definitely best to line up as soon as they start grilling the meat, as it got quite crowded.
After that, we went to see sea turtles and snorkeled at the coral reef. I did this with my older daughter, and it was amazing to see tropical fish up close! A waterproof camera is a must! We brought our own snorkels, but rentals are also available.
I would love to participate again if the opportunity arises, but it really depends on the weather.
7歳と2歳の娘を連れて家族4人で行ってきました。宿泊先のヒルトンにきちんと予定通りに来てもらい、陽気なインストの方がバス内を盛り上げてくれ、いざ港からは日本人の方がしっかり楽しませてくれました。
朝の組みは雨だったそうですが、私たちの便は海も運よく晴れてくれ、最高に美しかったです。2歳の娘に浮き輪を持って行きましたがこれが大活躍、彼女も楽しんでました。
昼ご飯も船上で海を見ながら食べるハンバーガーは最高でした。確かに肉を焼き始めたら直ぐに並んだ方がいいですね。大分混雑してました。
それからウミガメを見に行って珊瑚礁でシュノーケル、これは上の娘と二人でしましたが、熱帯魚が間近で見られて感動!防水カメラ必携です!シュノーケルは持って行きましたが貸出もちゃんとあります。
次回も機会があれば参加したいですが、本当に天気次第ですね。

Thank you very much for participating in the tour.
However, I sincerely apologize for the unpleasant experience during the transfer.
I have shared your feedback with the operating company.
Typically, English-speaking staff will assist during the round-trip transfers, and there are also Japanese-speaking staff at the local activities.
Since the guide often responds to questions from customers in the vehicle, there was a tendency to continue talking during the transfer.
I am truly sorry for the lack of explanations and guidance on your return, which caused you inconvenience.
Based on your valuable feedback, we will strive to improve our services in the future.
Thank you very much for taking the time to share your valuable experience.
