Pride of Maui Afternoon Snorkel Cruise with BBQ Lunch from Maalaea [Open Soon]

Our favourite Maui activity

Reviewed by: Hayley

There were 5 of us that went on the afternoon snorkel and whale watch and all agreed it was a stand out experience of our ten days in Maui.
The staff are all very friendly, helpful and overall seemed like really great people who love what they do.
We were able to stop whenever a whale was spotted (we saw at least 20) not just during the first part of as was first indicated. The captain had an endless supply of information about the whales and all the islands surrounding.
The snorkel location was absolutely stunning. We had gone out snorkelling multiple times ourselves and this location was by far the best, calm waters, loads of fish and coloured reef.
The trip was finished off with burgers and vegetarian pasta for lunch and cocktails as we stopped again for a few more whale sightings.

We will be back!

BOB's Hawaii Underwater Scooter Adventure & Turtle Watching Tour

Great alternative to full scuba diving

Reviewed by: Lewis W

As a qualified PADI, I found this activity to be a great alternative to full on scuba diving. With the submarine scooter you are able to sit back and enjoy the amazing underwater world.

The Bobs team were very organised and made the whole experience enjoyable and welcoming. I would highly recommend this to those afraid of discovery scuba diving. The team also take great pictures and videos for you.

You should actively seek it out! 積極的に探すべし!

Reviewed by: 大ちゃん

I participated with my mother. At first, we were in the room where the buffet was set up, but when we stepped outside, the sea breeze felt wonderful. It can get hot if you stay outside for too long, but when you finally see the whales or their spouts, it’s exciting and fun. So, if you decide to participate, I encourage you to actively go outside and enjoy the thrill of the search.

私は母と二人で参加しました。最初は、ビュッフェが用意されている部屋の中におりましたが、一度部屋の外に出て見ると、海の風が気持ちよかったです。
ずっと外にいると暑いですが、いざクジラの姿や潮吹きを見ると興奮しますし、楽しいですよ。なので、参加される場合には、積極的に外に出て、探す楽しさを味わっていただきたいです。

I was disappointed. The waves were high, and many people on the boat got seasick. We didn't see any whales either. I don't recommend this for those who are prone to seasickness.

ガッカリでした。波が高くて船に乗って居られた沢山の方か船酔いをされてました。

I was able to see dolphins for about 3 minutes. イルカを見れたのは3分くらいです。

Let's bring about $15 in cash per person. Most people rented wetsuits for an additional fee. For the photos, which cost around $50, I provided my credit card number over the phone after the tour to purchase them. They will send you a URL via email to view the photos on Dropbox.
The boat can be quite rocky, so be sure to bring motion sickness medication.
It's pretty strenuous, so I recommend going to bed early the night before. Choosing a dolphin tour without any extra activities was definitely the right decision.
It felt less like swimming with dolphins and more like spotting dolphins swimming below for a few seconds, but it was moving.

1人15ドルくらい現金を持っていきましょう。別途有料でのウエットスーツはほとんどの方が頼んでいました。別途有料(50ドルくらい)の写真はツアー後に電話口にて自身のクレカ番号を伝え購入しました。写真はドロップボックスで見れるURLをメールで送ってくれます。
船は結構揺れますし酔います。酔い止めを持っていきましょう。
結構ハードなので前日は早めの就寝がおすすめです。他に余計なアクテビィティの無いイルカ中学にして正解でした。
イルカと泳ぐというよりは真下に泳いでるイルカを数十秒発見するみたいな感じでしたが、感動しました。

Greatly impressed. 大感激

Reviewed by: えりねえ

The tour was a lot of fun, thanks to our guide Julie and the enthusiastic staff who really got everyone excited. The nearly hour-long drive to the port was filled with beautiful natural scenery, quite different from the city of Honolulu, and the enjoyable commentary made it feel like a true Hawaiian sightseeing experience!

But above all, the dolphins were amazing!! We got to see a pod of over 80 dolphins while snorkeling. I never expected to see such a large group, so I was absolutely thrilled.

After the dolphins, we saw a small turtle and many cute Hawaiian endemic yellow butterflyfish while snorkeling. On the way back to the port, we also spotted a few whales relatively close by.

Lastly, the hula lesson on the boat was a lot of fun. However, several people were feeling seasick, so I recommend that those who are not used to boats take some motion sickness medication (like Travelmin) in advance.

Thank you for a wonderful day!!

ガイドのジュリさんをはじめ、スタッフの方がノリノリでみんなを盛り上げてくれて楽しいツアーでした。港までの1時間近くの道中もホノルルの街とは異なり自然の魅力いっぱいの景色と楽しい解説でハワイ観光の気分いっぱいで良かったです!
でも何よりイルカがすごい!!  80頭以上の群れをシュノーケルで見れました。  こんなにたくさんの群れが見れるとは思ってもいなかったので大感激でした。
イルカの後のシュノーケルでは小さい亀1匹とハワイ固有種の黄色いバタフライフィッシュ(かわいい)がたくさん見れました。
港に帰る途中ではクジラも数頭、比較的近くで見れました。
最後に船上でのフラレッスンも楽しかったです。
ただ船酔いをしている方が何人もいたので、船に慣れていない方は、事前に酔い止め薬(トラベルミン等)を飲んでおくことをお勧めします。
楽しい一日をありがとうございました!!

Aloha Erine-san,
Congratulations on your graduation!
Thank you for sharing the photos.
It must be tough to experience seasickness during such a fun tour. For everyone planning to participate in the future, please make sure to get plenty of sleep the night before and have a light breakfast that is easy to digest.
For those who are prone to motion sickness or for small children, I recommend trying some training to strengthen the vestibular system.

せっかくの楽しいツアーも船酔いしてしまっては辛いですよね、これからご参加予定の皆様、前日はしっかり睡眠を取っていただくことと、朝のお食事は消化の良いものを控えめにお取りください。
乗り物酔いしやすい方や小さなお子様は、三半規管を鍛えるトレーニングなど試してみるのもオススメです。

It became a good memory. 良い思い出になりました

Reviewed by: YOU

I was able to see the splash and fins, and just a glimpse of the back, but it was great that my child could see them up close once.

Before the watching began, the buffet started all at once, but there weren't enough seats for all the passengers, and since I had children with me, it was quite a hassle. After the meal, there was no rotation, and we had to sit for a long time until the watching started, which made it difficult to enjoy our meal at all. I wish they had ensured enough seating for the number of passengers.

The crew members were all kind and made us feel comfortable.

潮吹きやヒレ、背中が見えた程度でしたが、一度至近距離で子供も見ることができよかったです。
ウォッチング前にいっせいにブュッフェが始まりますが、乗客全員が座れる席がなく、しかも子連れだったので困りました。
食事が終わったら次々と回転することもなく、ウォッチングが始まるまでずっと座っているところもあり、全然ゆっくり食事ができませんでした。
乗客人数の座席を確保された状態にしてほしかったです。

The atmosphere on the ship was great, and I was able to see whales, which made for wonderful memories. 船内も雰囲気よし、クジラも見ることができていい思い出に

Reviewed by: BRG

First, regarding the whales, they appeared around the boat multiple times. The loud sound of "pshhuu!!" when they come up from the sea was incredible. I was thrilled to see them right in front of me. However, by the time I pressed the camera shutter, they were gone, making it quite difficult to capture a photo.

The atmosphere inside the boat was relaxed and had a luxurious feel. There were breads, hams to put in the bread, and vegetables. Other offerings included fruits and cookies. Drinks available were coffee and green tea. It was simple, but sufficient.

At the end of the tour, there was a sale of photos taken before boarding the boat and pictures of the whales we actually saw. Inside the boat, there was always live guitar performances. The song selection was good, and I really enjoyed it. I truly felt it was a worthwhile tour!

However, one downside was that the announcements when the whales appeared were made in English first, followed by Japanese. It can't be helped, but by the time the Japanese announcement was made, the whales were already gone.

We participated in the limited-time family campaign with our family of four. We were able to see the whale's spout and tail while enjoying a relaxing time in the second-floor seats. It was a fun experience.

While our family was fine, some members of a nearby family were seasick and were taking medication, so I think it's a good idea to prepare for seasickness.

I was able to fully enjoy nature. 自然を満喫できました

Reviewed by: アイクミ

The morning cruise was wonderful, blessed with great weather. A rainbow appeared, the sky was beautiful, and it felt great just to see people doing yoga on the beach or taking a walk. Once we headed out, we saw whales swimming in the ocean everywhere.

These are completely wild whales, right? I felt like I was in the great outdoors and lost track of time. The boat rocked quite a bit, so I couldn't take photos myself, but there was someone on board with a high-performance camera with a telephoto lens who captured some amazing shots. Everyone got the data from that person and we excitedly talked as if we had taken the photos ourselves.

The cruise also included drinks and light snacks, making it a very satisfying experience.

朝のクルーズは、天気に恵まれて、素晴らしいものでした。虹が出て、空の景色は良いし、浜辺ではヨガをやる人達がいたり、散歩するだけでも気持ち良かったです。さて、沖へ出て、海を泳ぐクジラがあちこちに居ました。
これって、完全に野生の鯨ですよね。なんか、大自然の中にいるんだ!という感覚になって、時間を忘れました。けっこう船が揺れたので、自分では写真は撮れませんでしたが、同乗してた人の中にかなり高性能の望遠レンズ付きカメラを持ってた人が、素晴らしいショットを取っていて、みんなその人からデータを貰って、あたかも自分が撮ったみたいな話をして盛り上がりました。
飲み物や軽食も付いていて、とても満足なクルーズでした。

The ship was luxurious. 船が豪華でした

Reviewed by: nam.

I couldn't participate in the tour I wanted to join, so I urgently signed up for this one, and it was pretty good. My friend and I joked, "Aren't we going to ride something like a North Korean boat?" but it turned out to be a luxurious ship where we could enjoy a buffet. During our time, they served hamburgers, and we could add vegetables, cheese, and meat as we liked. There were also cookies and fruit. It felt like a light meal, but since eating too much can cause seasickness, it might have been just right.

However, on the day we went (February 18), it was cloudy, then rainy, with strong winds and cold! Even when we took refuge inside the ship, the air conditioning was blasting, making it even colder. I would have appreciated it if they had offered jackets or blankets for rent.

We saw whales three times. I only saw the tail fin, but my friend, who was feeling seasick, said they saw a breach. We also witnessed a pod of dolphins jumping over the waves, which was breathtaking.

I’m glad I could go during the limited period for whale watching. However, it was really cold and uncomfortable, so I hope that can be improved. Thank you for the wonderful memories.

行きたかったツアーに参加できなくなり、至急申し込んだツアーですが、まあまあ良かったです。
同行した友人と「北〇鮮のボートみたいなのに乗るんじゃ?」と話していましたが、豪華な船で、バイキングも食べられました。私たちの時はハンバーガーで、野菜やチーズや肉を好きなように挟めました。あとはクッキーと果物。軽食と言った感じですが、あまり食べ過ぎると船酔いするので、ちょうどいいかもしれません。
しかし、行った日(2月18日)は曇りのち雨で風も強く寒かった!船内に避難するもクーラーガンガンで更に寒かったです。上着やひざ掛けの貸し出しがあれば嬉しかったです。
クジラは3回見られました。私は尾びれだけでしたが、船酔いでつぶれていた友人は、バックジャンプが見られたとのこと。また、イルカの群れが波の上をジャンプしているのも見られて感動しました。
ホエールウォッチングができる期間は限られているということで、この時期に行けて良かったです。
ただ、本当に寒くて不快だったので、それだけ改善していただければと思います。楽しい思い出をありがとうございました。

We were very fortunate, we had a lovely sunny day and we saw 3 or 4 whales. The crew were very helpful.The buffet meal was of good variety, tasty food and people were able to return as many times as they wanted. With regard to the whales, as stated in the tour blurbs there are rules about how close the boat can get to the whales because of this and how fast they breach and disappear I would suggest putting the camera aside and fully enjoying the experience with your own eyes, which is quite a thrill.

Participated on the second day after arriving in Hawaii♪ ハワイ到着2日目に参加♪

Reviewed by: naga

The day after arriving in Hawaii, I participated in a tour. The boat was three stories high, with the second floor being an indoor area with snacks and sofas, and the third floor being an open area with just tables and chairs. Even though I boarded a bit late, there were relatively many seats available on the second floor, but the air conditioning was too strong, so I moved to the open area on the third floor. There was also coffee, tea, and water available for self-service.

After departing, we quickly moved to the points of interest, visiting several spots. At first, it took a while for anything to appear, and I thought it might be a disappointing day, but then I heard cheers from a group of foreigners and saw a spout and a tail! After that, the whales appeared several times, and all the passengers gathered on one side to take pictures. Eventually, it was time to return to the port.

I was able to see the beautiful blue ocean and whales for the first time, and personally, I was very satisfied with the tour!

While moving at high speed, the boat swayed quite a bit, so I recommend bringing motion sickness medication for those who are prone to seasickness. Also, the day I participated was mostly clear with hardly any clouds, but even so, the wind and air conditioning indoors made it a bit chilly, so having a light jacket that you can put on quickly would be a good idea.

ハワイに到着した日の次の日に参加しました。
船は3階建ての船で、2階は軽食やソファーが置いてある屋内タイプ、3階は机や椅子があるだけのオープンタイプの船でした。
乗船したのが遅めでも2階は比較的席が空いてましたが、空調が強すぎたんで3階のオープンタイプの階へ。
ここにもコーヒー、紅茶、お水は置いてあったんでセルフサービスでいただきました。
出航してしばらくはポイントまで高速で移動し、いくつかあるポイントを回る感じでした。
はじめはなかなか現れず、もしかしたらはずれの日かなぁって思っていたら、外国人グループの歓声とその方角を見ると潮吹きと尾びれが!!
その後もたびたび現れては乗客みんなが片側に集まってカメラを構えるのが何度か続き、時間になって港に戻りました。
綺麗な青い海と初めて鯨を見ることができ、個人的には大満足のツアーでした♪

高速移動中は船がかなり揺れるんで酔いやすい人は酔い止めを持参することをおすすめします。
あと参加した日は雲がほとんどない快晴でしたが、それでも移動中の風や空調のきいた屋内は肌寒いので、すぐにはおれる上着があるといいと思います。

Good points:
The bus is large, so it's less likely to make you feel sick.
It's sufficient for elementary school lower grades.
You can feed the birds as much as you want.

Bad points:
Each guardian needs to be a separate adult, which is not suitable for families with many children. I was charged a change fee of 99 USD when I requested a change.
The tour price is high.
The facilities are old, and the food is not great. I should have brought my own.

I was able to see whales!! クジラ見れましたよ!!

Reviewed by: GORI

I didn't expect to see many whales, but I was able to see quite a few. When we arrived at the boat via the shuttle bus, there were already many guests on board, but we secured a table on the second floor and enjoyed some coffee as we set sail. After about an hour, we reached the area past Diamond Head, and just when I was about to give up on seeing any whales, we spotted one blowing water and showing its tail. We were able to see it about five or six more times. The outside deck was too crowded, but it was better inside the boat where there were fewer people, making it easy to see out of the windows on both sides. It was a sunny day, and the sun was reflecting off the water, so sunglasses were a must. When I asked the bus driver on the way back to drop me off at Ala Moana, he agreed.

クジラを見ることをあまり期待していませんでしたが、たくさん見ることができました。迎えのバスで船に着くと、船内には既に多くの先客がいましたが、2階のテーブルに席を確保し、コーヒーなどを飲んでいると出航しました。1時間ほどでダイヤモンドヘッドの先につきましたが、クジラが見当たらないのであきらめていたところ、潮を吹きながら、テールを見せるクジラを発見。その後も5-6回見ることができました。外のデッキは人が多くていけませんでいたが、船の中のほうが人が少なく、左右の窓から容易にみられるので、良かったです。当日は晴れて太陽が水面に反射していたのでサングラスは必須です。帰りのバスの運転手さんにアラモアナで降りたいとお願いしたらOKでした。

イルカ大学 イルカウォッチング&シュノーケリングクルーズ イルカと泳ぐプランも!マリンアクティビティも充実<ランチ付き/日本語/ワイキキ&コオリナ送迎可>

It was amazing! 最高でした!

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

Waking up early was tough for me (since I'm not good at it), but I was very satisfied to meet a pod of dolphins. We were able to snorkel with about 20 dolphins for around 20 minutes (it might have been longer!).

On the bus to the port, a Japanese female tour guide taught us a lot about dolphins, which was very informative. It was a bit cold since it was February, but I rented a wetsuit for $10, so I managed to avoid catching a cold on the way back.

We got seasick and felt a bit unwell during the trip, but we still managed to have fun! A professional photographer took pictures during the tour, and you can purchase them for $50. The photographer was taking photos of participants on the boat and diving to capture shots at the dolphin points. We didn't buy any this time since we couldn't check what kind of photos were taken before purchasing, but many other participants ended up buying them!

Whether the weather is good or how many dolphins you encounter depends on luck that day, but I've never been on a dolphin tour where I didn't see any, so you can be sure you'll have a high chance of encountering them! It was a fun tour!

早起きが大変でした(苦手なので)が、イルカの群れと会うことができて、大満足でした。
20頭くらいのイルカの群れと一緒に、20分くらい(もっと長かったかもしれない)シュノーケリングできました!
港までのバスの中では、ツアーガイドの日本人女性の方にイルカのことを詳しく教えてもらい勉強になりました。
2月だったので少し寒かったですが、ウエットスーツを10ドルで借りたので何とか風邪は引かずに帰って来れました。
私たちは船酔いし、途中気分が悪くなってしまいましたが、それでも楽しむことができました!
ツアーの様子は、プロのカメラマンさんが写真に撮ってくれていて、50ドルで購入することができます。カメラマンさんは、船の上では参加者にカメラを向けてくれていましたし、イルカのポイントでは潜って撮っていました。どんな写真が撮れているのか購入前に確認できなかったちめ、私たちは今回は購入しませんでしたが、他の参加者の皆さんは結構購入されている方が多かったです!
天気が良いかや、どのくらいイルカと出会えるかは当日の運次第ですが、イルカのツアーでこれまでに出会えなかったことはないので、高確率で出会えること間違いなしです!
楽しいツアーでしたー!

I signed up for Dolphin Aloha, and both my 10-year-old and 2-year-old sons had a great time. The site mentioned to bring sandals and towels, but they turned out to be unnecessary for this course (there are a few moments where you might get a little wet, but they inform you in advance).

Before the course, the staff checks both hands. My wife was a bit worried because she had nail art, but they checked one spot on each hand, and since there were few protrusions and it was coated, we received the OK after the check.

Cameras and phones are not allowed, so you can purchase photos taken by the staff later (optional). A passport is required for credit card use, but a photo of it was also acceptable.

The course was organized into a group of only Japanese participants, and the guidance was provided in Japanese, which made it easy to participate with peace of mind. During regular periods, about half of the participants are Japanese, and during busy periods, it's about 80%.

ドルフィンアロハを申し込みましたが、10歳及び2歳の息子、二人とも楽しんでいました。
サイトにはサンダルとタオル持参とかいてあったのですが、このコースでは結果的に不要でした(少し濡れる場面はありますが、事前に言っていただけます)
コース前には両手を係の方がチェックされます。妻がネイルアートをしていたので少し心配していたのですが、両手一カ所ずつで、突起も少なくコーティングもしてあったからか、チェックしていただいた上でOKをいただきました。
カメラ、携帯が使えないので、係の方が捕られた写真をあとで購入する形です(任意)クレジットカード利用時にはパスポートが必要ですが、写真でもOKでした。
コースは日本人だけのグループが作られて、日本語で案内が行われ、安心して参加できました。通常期で半分、繁忙期だと8割が日本人とのことです。

we met 1 shark, very good experience. but the timing we chosen wrongly, too early in the morning makes us freezing. no place to change in the ship, so you have to settle with your towel and change only when you reach the land.

野生のマンタ シュノーケリングツアー <英語ガイド/軽食付き>

Finally, the manta did a backflip underwater for us! 最後にマンタは、海中バック転してくれました!

Reviewed by: K-M

Around 5 PM, we left the harbor and watched the sunset over the ocean. There were about four to five boats offshore. The wind was a bit strong, and the waves crashed violently against the Sheraton Hotel's pier. Feeling a little cold, I tightened my wetsuit up to my neck. Around 6 PM, enveloped in twilight, about 20 participants took turns entering the sea and gazing at the surface. Perhaps due to the weather, the manta rays were not appearing easily... Shortly after, they showed up in slightly deeper waters (3-5 meters?) and passed by. As my body temperature dropped and about 40-50 minutes had passed, suddenly, a manta ray performed a backflip right beneath me! I was moved by the manta's spirit! For those prone to seasickness, feeling cold, or afraid of the ocean, I think it's good to approach this experience with a bit of caution. That said, since it's nature, whether you get to see the manta rays beautifully is a matter of luck.

17時頃港を出て沖で日が沈むのを眺めています。沖合には4-5隻のボート・船。風はやや強く、シェラトンホテルの岸壁に激しく波が打ち付けられます。少し寒いな、とも感じてウエットスーツを首元までしめます。薄闇につつまれる18時ごろ(だったと思います)、20人ほどの参加者が順繰りに海へ入り、海面をみつめます。天候のせいか、なかなかマンタは現れててくれません。。。それからほどなく少し深い(3-5m?)ところに現れては、通りすぎていきます。体温も下がってきて、40-50分が過ぎるころ、いきなり自分のからだの真下あたりからバック転をしながら、マンタがサービスしてくれました!マンタの心意気に感動でした!船酔いする方、寒がりの方、海が怖い方、ちょっとだけ用心して臨むとよいと思います。とはいえ自然のことなので、マンタが綺麗に見えるかどうかは運次第です;

  • 思っていたより激しく揺れています^^;

  • 海の中の様子

  • マンタ現る!

Shark Diving Hawaii - Cageless Pelagic Snorkel Tour with FREE Photos & Videos

Best experience in all of Hawaii

Reviewed by: Jerry Herberger

What could be more exhilarating than interacting with an animal you have been taught all your life to fear? You have guides that take total care of you, from safety briefing to taking pictures of your interaction. This was my second time and the thrill was just as impressive as was the first time. This experience should be the number one activity for any tourist on Oahu. We were with 7 sharks and one barracuda. The speed and agility of sharks must be experienced to be appreciated. Sharks are magnificent animals. Thanks again guys for the ultimate experience.

Fantastic Whale Watch Experience

Reviewed by: Colorado Couple

Take the tour with this company! We were hoping to see some whales and have a great cruise on the ocean. Our cruise turned out beyond expectations. Not just because we saw lots of whales but Captain Amy and her happy crew had the best attitude. They were knowledgeable, very considerate, and made sure we had fun. Despite the downpour of rain at the very end, even this turned out to be a fun adventure!

イルカ大学 イルカウォッチング&シュノーケリングクルーズ イルカと泳ぐプランも!マリンアクティビティも充実<ランチ付き/日本語/ワイキキ&コオリナ送迎可>

I saw so many dolphins, sea turtles, and whales that I may never see again in my lifetime! I think luck played a part, but it was amazing! 一生見ることのできないような、イルカ、ウミガメ、クジラがたくさん!運の要素も合ったと思いますが、最高でした!

Reviewed by: tonchy

While there is an element of luck involved since it's nature, I believe the 90% encounter rate is thanks to the expertise of the renowned Dolphin University.

About ten minutes into the boat ride, we had our first dive, where we only encountered a sea turtle, but during the second dive, we encountered dolphins. We saw dozens of them and were able to swim alongside them (though we couldn't dive since we were wearing life jackets).

We were also able to get very close to the sea turtles. While snorkeling, we were surrounded by many fish. We even got to go whale watching, and we clearly saw the tail of a whale, which is said to bring happiness when spotted.

It was the best experience, one that I doubt I will ever have again.

My wife mentioned that she found it tough because she can't swim and is sensitive to the cold, but this is a tour I want to participate in every time I come to Hawaii.

If you prepare well with cold weather gear (dry towels, long sleeves, wetsuits) and measures for seasickness, I think it will be an extremely satisfying tour.

Even if you don't see dolphins, the guide will keep the atmosphere lively, so I believe you'll have a fun time without a doubt.

I can confidently recommend this tour.

自然相手なので、運の要素はありますが、遭遇率90%は、名門イルカ大学さんの腕だと思います。

乗船10分程で、一回目のダイブ、そこではイルカには会えずにウミガメのみ、二回目のダイブでイルカと遭遇。何十匹と見えて、しかも一緒に泳ぐ(ライフジャケット来てるので、潜ることはできない)ことはできました。

ウミガメも目と鼻の先まで近づくことができました。
スノーケリングでは沢山の魚に囲まれます。
ホエールウォッチングも出来て、見ると幸せになるというクジラの尻尾までくっきりと見えました。

二度とこんな体験は出来ないだろう、というくらい最高の体験でした。

嫁は、泳げないのと、寒さに弱いのとで、もうきつい、と言ってましたが、私はハワイに来るたびには必ず参加したいツアーです。

防寒対策(乾いたタオル、長袖、ウェットスーツ)と船酔い対策をしっかりしておけば極めて満足感の高いツアーになるのではないでしょうか。

たとえ、イルカに会えなくとも、ガイドさんが盛り上げてくれるので、楽しい時間になることは間違いないと思います。

自信を持ってオススメできるツアーです。
