ウミガメシュノーケリング ホロカイ・カタマラン号 高確率でウミガメに会えるタートルキャニオンへ!ソフトドリンク&スナック付き<3時間/英語/ワイキキホテル発>

I'm glad I chose Holokai!! Holokaiにして良かった!!

Reviewed by: じゃっぷ

We boarded the Holokai Catamaran and quickly arrived at a point where we could see the beachside hotels of Waikiki. During the ride, we received explanations in English and were given life jackets. When I asked if wearing a life jacket was mandatory, I was told it wasn't required, but it was at our own risk. There was no worry about not seeing sea turtles, as they were coming up to the surface to breathe all around us. There was also a tour company nearby doing scuba diving. One slight disappointment was that there weren't many colorful tropical fish or coral at this point. However, there was plenty of time to enjoy snorkeling. After getting back on the boat, we were offered chips and chocolate (free), and drinks like guava juice and beer (for a fee) as we slowly began sailing. Since it was December, we went whale watching and saw a few in the distance. Given the price, the service was good, and I was satisfied with the experience. I highly recommend it!

ホロカイ・カタマラン号に乗り込み、しばらく走るのかと思いきや、ワイキキのビーチサイドホテルが目視できるポイントにすぐ到着。走っている最中に説明(英語)を受けライフジャケットを受け取ります。ライフジャケットの着用は義務か聞くと無しでもOKしかし、自己責任。ウミガメがあちこちで水面に呼吸しに来るので会えない見られないという心配はないと思います。すぐ側でスキューバダイビングをしているツアー会社も居ました。少し残念なのはカラフルな熱帯魚や珊瑚はあまりいないポイントでした。シュノーケリングを楽しむには十分な時間が設けられています。船にあがりチップスやチョコを頂き(無料)飲み物はグアバジュースやビール(有料)ゆっくりとセーリング開始。12月だったためホエールウォッチング。遠目に少しだけ見れました。お値段の割にサービスも良く、内容にも満足です。おススメです!!

Kona Manta Ray Snorkel & Night Dive Tour at Keauhou Bay - Sea Paradise

Only 1 manta ray spotted

Reviewed by: RMred

The ride was too bumpy as there were many waves. We were able to spot only 1 manta ray. Too expensive for 45 min bumpy ride and the whole experience.

We appreciate you taking your time to review your manta snorkel and are sorry to hear you did not enjoy the tour. It is true, some nights are better than others; ocean conditions, weather and the amount of rays seen on any given night is out of our control. What we can control we aim to do our best with the conditions we are presented with.

アトランティス潜水艦ツアー ハワイの海底30mを進む海中アドベンチャー <ヒルトン・ハワイアン・ビレッジ発/日本語ナレーション(要事前ダウンロード)>

It was quite good! なかなか良かった!

Reviewed by: kaon

My 6-year-old son was interested in deep-sea fish, so this submarine was the main attraction for our trip to Hawaii. It dives to about 300 meters below the sea. We were able to see many fish at various points, although it wasn't completely natural; it felt like there were artificial habitats created, which was part of research by the University of Hawaii.

Towards the end, we apparently encountered a whale, but we only caught a glimpse of its shadow from inside the submarine. The guide was quite excited and announced it, but since we were still underwater, it seemed to have passed above us. If we had been surfaced, we might have seen it.

I thought I didn't get motion sickness easily, but I ended up feeling quite nauseous on the return high-speed boat. The submarine doesn't have a restroom, but the high-speed boat does. I managed to avoid the worst-case scenario, but I recommend taking motion sickness medication for anyone who might be concerned. The guide mentioned that the waves were quite calm that day, so I think it would have been tough on a day with regular waves. Just for your reference.

6歳の息子が深海魚に興味を持っていたので、今回のハワイ旅はこの潜水艦がメインでした。
海底300m程まで潜水します。
魚などは要所要所で沢山見られました。全くの自然というわけではなく、それなりの住処を人工的に作っているという感じでしたが、それもハワイ大学の研究の一環ということでした。
終盤はクジラに遭遇したらしいですが、ニアミスで艦内からチラリと影が見えただけでした。ガイドさんもかなり興奮してアナウンスしてくれたのですが、まだ海中にいたので頭上を行ったようです。
浮上していれば見えたかもしれませんね。
私はあまり乗り物酔いはしない方だと思っていましたが、この日は帰りの高速艇でかなり酔ってしまいました。
潜水艦にトイレはありませんが、行き帰りの高速艇にはあります。
何とか最悪の事態は回避できましたが、少しでも心配のある方は酔い止めの服用をお勧めします。
この日はかなり波も穏やかだとガイドさんも言っていたので、普通に波がある日だと厳しかったと思います。ご参考までに。

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>

Encountered whales in addition to dolphins! イルカの他にクジラにも遭遇!

Reviewed by: JOE

I woke up early, swayed by the bus, and headed to the dock while rubbing my sleepy eyes. After offering a prayer to the sea, we set sail on our long-awaited dolphin search journey. Unfortunately, we couldn't see dolphins up close during the two dives, but we did see them jumping from the boat, and most importantly, we were lucky enough to witness the whale's courtship dance multiple times, which was satisfying! The instructors were very cheerful and really energized everyone, making it a lot of fun! I want to go again when I come back to Hawaii! I hope to see dolphins up close next time! ♫

朝早起きしてバスに揺られ、眠い目をこすりながら船着場へ向かいました。
海にお祈りを捧げて、念願のイルカ探しの旅へ出航です。
残念ながら二回のダイブではイルカを間近で見ることは出来なかったけれど、船からイルカが跳ねているところは見られたし、何より偶然にもクジラの求愛のダンスを何回も見られて満足です!
インストラクターの方々もとても明るくみんなを盛り上げてくれてとても楽しかったです!
またハワイに来たら行きたいです!次回はイルカを間近で見られるといいな♫

I participated alone, but there was one other Japanese person, and I had a great time. The snorkeling was amazing, as I encountered not only fish but also many sea turtles, and it was thrilling to swim alongside them! The male crew members were kind, cheerful, and fun. I would love to join again.

ホエールウォッチ 最大80名乗りのカタマラン船!ソフトドリンク飲み放題付き<ワイキキ送迎可/12/1~3/31>

I was able to see whales, and the male staff who spoke Japanese were really friendly, which was great. クジラも観れたし、日本語を話せるメンズスタッフもすごくフレンドリーでよかった。

Reviewed by: パクチーは絶滅すれば良い

The pickup time slightly exceeded the regulation stating, "If more than 10 minutes have passed since the meeting time, call the office," so I was wondering what to do when a cheerful guy and a colorful van appeared. We arrived at the harbor in about 15 minutes.

After signing a document stating that I understood, "Even if you don't see whales, if the boat sinks or if you flirt and die, we won't provide compensation, and it's at your own risk," I boarded the ship.

The boat was clean and spacious. Additionally, there was a staff member who spoke Japanese well, which eased my concerns about the upcoming experience. They were very friendly. Alcohol and soft drinks were all-you-can-drink, and there were two restrooms available, so no worries there.

However, even though the waves were calm, the boat rocked quite a bit, so for those who get motion sickness, I think it would be a 200% chance of getting sick, and even taking motion sickness medication might not help, so it might be better to give up.

On the way out to the open sea, we couldn't spot any whale spouts, so I was somewhat resigned, but while cruising with a beer in hand, watching passenger planes flying overhead in the open waters of Waikiki, I thought it was a nice vacation vibe and good content. Then, on the way back, we discovered a whale spout.

The deck erupted in excitement. After that, we were lucky enough to see multiple whales performing dives and spouting, which was thrilling.

I would say it was a very enjoyable tour experience.

I would recommend it to those who don't get seasick and can enjoy the cruise even if they don't see whales.

If you see a whale, consider yourself lucky.

ピックアップの時間が若干、レギュレーションにある「待ち合わせ時間に10分以上経過した場合は事務所に電話をしろ」という時間を超えていたので、どうしたもんかと思ったところ、陽気なにーちゃんとカラフルなバンが登場。15分程度でハーバーに到着。

「クジラが見えなくても、船が沈没したり、ナンパして、死んでも、おれんところは補償しないし、免責だぜ、」ということを理解しました、という内容にサインしてから乗船。

船は清潔で、広々としてる。さらに日本語を上手に操るスタッフのメンズがいて、今後の流れへの不安は払拭。とてもフレンドリー。
お酒やソフトドリンクも飲み放題。トイレも二つ備え付けなので、心配なし。

ただ、波は穏やかでも、船はそれなりに揺れるので、乗り物酔いする人は200%酔うので、酔い止めを飲んでも効かないレベルだと思うので、諦めた方がいいかもしれない。

外洋まで行く、往路ではクジラの潮吹きを見つけられなかったので、半ば諦めつつも、ビール片手に、ワイキキの外洋を、上空をかすめる、旅客機を見ながらのクルージングは、それはそれで、バカンス感もあり、コンテンツとしても良いかなと思っていた、往路で、クジラの潮吹きを発見。

甲板が一斉に盛り上がる。その後、運良く、複数のクジラが営業ダイビングや、営業潮吹きをしてくれて、盛り上がる。

大変楽しいツアーコンテンツだったと評せる。

船酔いをしない、クジラが見れなくてもクルージングだと思って楽しめる人にはオススメしたい。

クジラが観れたら、それは、ツイてた、ということで。

Family-Friendly Kohala & Waikoloa Whale Watching and Sailing Tour - Ocean Sports [Dec - Mar]

Awesome whale watching and snorkeling cruise

Reviewed by: Lorena

Our 10am whale watching cruise was cancelled but we were accommodated on an other cruise for 10:30am. This one included snorkeling. So it was a big win for us. We did get to see a few whales and dolphins. The crew was amazing. They were friendly and informative. They took the time to chat with us. They gave us some background on the whales and clear instructions before getting in the water for snorkeling. They were very attentive and ready to help everyone during the snorkeling. This was an awesome tour. I would definitely book this tour again and recommend it.

It's a shame I could only see a little... 少ししか見れず残念...

Reviewed by: taka&yuki

At 5:55 AM, we were picked up from various hotels in the dim light. About 30 people participated. We went snorkeling at a relatively calm spot about an hour west using the highway from Waikiki. However, on that day, a cold wave hit Oahu, making it feel like early autumn in Japan, so we paid $10 to wear wetsuits. Thanks to that, I wasn't cold while in the water, but returning to the boat, I was hit by the wind and felt quite chilly.

We sang a song to thank the sea god of Hawaii and prayed for safety, then it was time for our first dive! Everyone headed to the point where wild spinner dolphins were likely resting. The four instructors found the dolphins and shouted, "Swim towards the mountains!" Everyone submerged their faces in the water to search. About ten dolphins swam gracefully beneath us. It was breathtaking!

After returning to the boat and taking a short break, we tried for our second dive! Once again, a group of dolphins passed below us. It was brief, but I got to swim alongside a dolphin about five meters away.

Unfortunately, we didn't encounter any sea turtles or whales, but it was a valuable experience.

*The rating isn't great because this tour requires you to swim actively. In winter, the waves can make you prone to seasickness, and although the website mentioned that "the second floor of the boat is recommended for easier dolphin watching," we were on a regular snorkeling boat with only one level, which swayed a lot due to the waves and wind. Since it was a monitor tour, we had an early morning departure, but if it had been during the day, it might have been warmer and more enjoyable. I don't think I'll participate again.

早朝5:55 薄暗い中 各ホテルピックアップ。
約30名近くが参加。
ワイキキから高速道路を利用して西に約1時間の比較的波静かな場所でのシュノーケリングです。
しかし、当日はオワフ島にも寒波が来ており、日本でいうと初秋のような肌寒さがあり、10ドルを支払いウエットスーツを着用。
おかげさまで、海に入っている時は寒くはありませんでしたが 船に戻ると風をまともに受け、震えるほど寒かったです。
ハワイに伝わる海の神様に感謝と安全をお祈りする歌を歌い、いざ、1本目海へダイブ!
野生のハシナガイルカが休憩しているだろうポイントへ皆でGO!
インストラクター4名が、イルカのいる場所を見つけ「山の方向へ泳げー!」との声に 皆一斉に海面に顔を浸け捜索。
約10匹ほどのイルカが私たちの下を悠々と泳いでいました。
感動です!

その後、船に戻りしばし休憩後、2本目にトライ!
またまた下の方にイルカの群れが通過。
一瞬でしたが5m程先のイルカと一緒に泳げました。

あいにく、ウミガメやクジラには出会えませんでしたが、貴重な体験をしました。

※評価が良くないのは、ガッツリ自分で泳がないとダメなツアー。
冬の時期は、波があるので船酔いをしやすい点と、HPでは「イルカウォッチングをするならボートの2階が発見しやすくておすすめ。」との記載があり申込みましたが、1階しかない普通のシュノーケリングボートなので波と風を受け、とても揺れます。
モニターツアーなので早朝出発でしたが、日中出発ならもう少し暖かくて楽しめていたかもしれません。
次は参加しないと思います。

Four Winds Afternoon Snorkel Cruise & Turtle Watching Tour with Taco Bar Lunch

I saw a squid!

Reviewed by: Emily

The boat they normally take you on was in dry dock, so we didn't get the glass bottom boat. Also the wind was too strong that day, so we didn't get to go to Molokini. ...Basically we didn't get either of the things that were advertised, but those were uncontrollable elements and not the fault of the business. They took us out north along the coast from Ma'alaea Harbor and stopped at two separate locations. We still saw some tropical fish and some coral, and the water was warm and wonderful. They grill up a delicious burger and hotdogs if you buy the option to eat lunch on the boat, which was only $8 extra per person if memory serves. The ladies on the boat were very friendly and learned everyone's names by heart. They helped with instructions on the flippers and scuba gear. A great time with really nice people. I would definitely do it again!! They advise going on the morning sail if you want a chance to get to Molokini. That's where the real beauty is!

I was able to fully enjoy the graceful appearance of the dolphins. イルカの悠々とした姿を存分に観ることができました

Reviewed by: おずひ

I'm really glad I participated; it was truly a worthwhile optional tour. I joined with my wife's parents, and I felt a bit anxious on the bus ride to the boat since most of the participants were in their twenties. However, thanks to the consistently kind staff, I realized my worries were unnecessary. I was a bit disappointed to hear during the trip that swimming with dolphins in Hawaii is not allowed (I hadn't gathered this information beforehand), but when we actually spotted dolphins and entered the water, I was able to fully enjoy watching many dolphins swimming gracefully below me. I was very satisfied. The boat was large (it seemed to accommodate over 30 people), and it was comfortable with little rocking. From the moment we spotted the dolphins to the dive, we were guided in an orderly manner without any rush, so I think it's a tour that's reassuring even for beginners.

参加して良かった、本当にそう思えるオプショナルツアーでした。妻の両親と一緒に参加したのですが、参加者が20代で占めている状況に乗船までのバス内では一抹の不安がありました。しかし、終始親切なスタッフの皆様のお陰で無用な心配だと実感できました。ハワイは海中に潜ってイルカと泳ぐのは不可だと道中に聞かされ(事前に情報入手していなかったこともあり)少し残念でしたが、実際にイルカを見つけて海に入ったときには、たくさんのイルカが眼下で気持ち良さそうにゆっくり泳いでいるのを思う存分に愉しむことができたので、大満足でした。船は(30人以上乗船できそうな)大きな船で、揺れも少なく快適でした。イルカ発見からダイブするまでも、慌てることなく順番に案内してもらえたので、初心者でも安心なツアーだと思います。

Maui Whale Watch Cruise from Lahaina -Temporarily Not Available [Dec-May]

Whale Watching in Maui!

Reviewed by: Amber Walker

crew on the tour were professional and courteous right from the start. We were all anxious to see whales and our boat got right out there and we started seeing whale spouts. The boat was always on top of where the whales were. Through out the entire ride, the captain was incredibly knowledgeable and answered all questions. The boat itself was well stocked and very clean. There were plenty of tables inside and on top, as well as seats on the front and back. Everyone had a place to sit and could see the action from anywhere on the boat. The end of the tour was the most incredible. Two whales swam literally under the boat and came out in front of the bow. Seeing how big these amazing creatures were so close was a once in a life time experience. Both whales came up for air at the front of the boat. The whales seemed as curious about us as we were about them, and hung out around our boat for a good fifteen minutes. I highly recommend this tour and their company for an incredible whale watching tour!! The experience is excellent for couples and families with children of all ages. My one bit of advice would be to show up twenty five minutes before check in as it was very busy and took some time to find a parking spot.

冬季限定!ホエールウォッチングクルーズ <12~4月/英語ガイド/ラハイナ港発>

I was able to see it three times! 3回見れました!

Reviewed by: ちなみ

I was really moved when I got to see the last one up close after seeing it about three times! I participated with my mother and only had my phone, but I was satisfied with the videos I captured! If I had to say something, I wish I could have seen the jumps from closer up, so I gave it four stars. Also, since snacks and drinks are paid, it's better to bring something with you.

It took about 20 minutes to get there by rental car from the hotel, and there was a large public parking lot near the port, which was convenient! I also recommend exploring the town of Lahaina right after it ends.

3回くらい見えたうちの最後の1回がとても近くで見れて感動しました!私は母と参加して携帯しかなかったのですが十分動画におさめられて満足です!強いて言えばジャンプをもっと近くで見たかったな〜という感じなので星4つにしました。あと軽食も飲み物も有料なので何か持って行ったほうが良いです。
ホテルから20分くらいでレンタカーで行きましたが港の近くに広い公共の駐車場があったので便利でした!お昼におわってそのままラハイナの街を散策するのもお勧めです。

Maui Whale Watch Cruise from Lahaina -Temporarily Not Available [Dec-May]

‘Twas a beautiful morning chasing sea life!

Reviewed by: Michelle

My little family of 3, husband and my 3 month old, went on this whale watching excursion and it was the highlight of our trip! I was very excited to find out that infants are welcome aboard. The entire crew was very informative, fun, and did everything they could to help the everyone spot some whales. We were so lucky to cruise with hundreds of spinner dolphins right below us. We even got close enough to spot a whale even though we were told it was early in the season. O would recommend bringing binoculars if you have some and a jacket because it definitely gets chilly and windy out there. Thank you to the entire crew for making my dream of seeing the whales come true!

Molokini and Turtle Town Snorkel Cruise with Food & Open Bar - Pride of Maui

First time snorkeling for my Mom and I.

Reviewed by: Cori

We didn't get to either spots listed in the title of the tour due to weather. Maybe, in the future, they can offer a discounted 2nd trip so you can actually get to Molokini Crater. They don't offer that, so you get what you get. The "glass bottom" boat is also a deceiving description of this boat. Don't go based on this alone. The area we went was suitable for a relaxed first time snorkel. Lots of people, but my Mom still got first class treatment due to her fear of the new adventure. Heather ensured she felt comfortable in the gear and went into the water with her to get her comfortable to go off on her own! It was a very good experience, although I would not take a tour like it again. I would opt for something with less people on a smaller boat, for sure. If you choose to purchase the photos at the end, make sure you sought him out to actually take some pictures of you first or you will just have a lot of pictures of other people. The pics he took of my Mom are really good, although there are none of me while snorkeling. But, there were a LOT of people, so how could he possibly get pics of everyone.
All in all the boat was clean, the people were nice, and the snorkeling was really great! The food was pretty good, too.

ノースショア・シャーク・アドベンチャー 迫力満点!至近距離で野生のサメを見学 <送迎可>

So many sharks! But I got really seasick. すごいたくさんのサメ!でもすごい酔いました。

Reviewed by: さんかく

The number of sharks is definitely impressive. The experience is thrilling. However, since we went quite far out, I got seasick before we reached the point. Once we arrived, we had to wait our turn to see the sharks in groups, and I got even more nauseous during that time. Being in the cage, exposed to the waves while watching the sharks, made me feel even sicker. On the way back, I could hardly sit up and ended up collapsing on the boat. I had taken motion sickness medication, but it didn’t seem to help with the seasickness. Those who are prone to motion sickness should be cautious. Unfortunately, due to my own body’s reaction, the outcome was disappointing, but there were no faults in the tour itself, so I give it 4 stars.

サメの数はまちがいないです。すごい迫力です。
ただしかなり沖まで行くので、ポイントに着くまでに酔いました。
ポイントについたらグループごとに順番に見るため、待っている間にさらに酔いました。
ケージに入って沖の波にさらされながらサメを見てさらに酔いました。
帰りは起き上がることすら困難で船の上で倒れてました。
酔い止めは飲んでいましたが、船酔い海酔いには効かなかったようです…
もともと酔いやすい方は注意が必要です。
自分の体質で残念な結果ですが、ツアー内容としては落ち度はないので☆4つです。

ok

Reviewed by: Irene

The should have better explained the process. An example would have been better. Also, they should have been more encouraging to those who were uneasy in the water and refunded part of the cost if someone was unable to participate, especially since the water was very rough and it was raining.

Swimming with dolphins was amazing! I was moved to see a pod of dolphins swimming right below me! I was also glad to meet a sea turtle while snorkeling! The crew members were all fun, and we enjoyed dancing the hula together.

Thank you for your assistance this time.

I felt reassured because I was attended to by Japanese staff.

I was very satisfied as I got to see many dolphins and there were sea turtles as well.

Unfortunately, it was rainy and very cold in the second half, but

that too is a good memory.

I look forward to working with you again.

Maui Whale Watch Cruise from Lahaina -Temporarily Not Available [Dec-May]

Amazing Whale Watching Experience!!

Reviewed by: Amber Walker

The crew on the tour were professional and courteous right from the start. We were all anxious to see whales and our boat got right out there and we started seeing whale spouts. The boat was always on top of where the whales were. Through out the entire ride, the captain was incredibly knowledgeable and answered all questions. The boat itself was well stocked and very clean. There were plenty of tabkrs inside and on top, as well as seats on the front and back. Everyone had a place to sit and could see the action from anywhere on the boat. The end of the tour was the most incredible. Two whales swam literally under the boat and came out in front of the bow. Seeing how big these amazing creatures were so close was a once in a life time experience. Both whales came up for air at the front of the boat. The whales seemed as curious about us as we were about them, and hung out around our boat for a good fifteen minutes. I highly recommend this tour and their company for an incredible whale watching tour!! The experience is excellent for couples and families with children of all ages. My one bit of advice would be to show up twenty five minutes before check in as it was very busy and took some time to find a parking spot.

Dolphins for the first time in three years. 3年ぶりのイルカ

Reviewed by: あいう

I was worried that the weather might be bad, but although the waves were a bit high, there were clear skies and I was glad to see dolphins.
I wished that the rental fee for the wetsuits was included, and the life vests were too thin, which made me feel uneasy. Plus, they were moldy and dirty...
I think the guide was very energetic and nice, but they kept talking on the bus, and I couldn't sleep at all when I wanted to.
I found it a bit inappropriate when they asked personal questions and insisted on going into the sea again when an older person said they were done. They also took someone who was feeling seasick out into the water, saying it would help.
I understand the intention to make everyone enjoy themselves, but I felt there was a lack of delicacy.
I was told there would be a lot of fish while snorkeling, but there were hardly any. If that was the case, I would have liked to dive with the dolphins one more time.

天気が悪いかもと心配していましたが、少し波は高かったけれど晴れ間もあり、イルカも見られて良かったです。
ウェットスーツ貸し出しは料金に含んでいてほしかったのと、ライフベストが薄っぺらすぎて不安でした。しかもカビてて汚かった…
ガイドさんはとても元気でいいと思いますが、バスの中で喋り続けていて寝ようと思っていたのに一睡もできなかった。。
プライベートな質問をズカズカとしたり、年配の方が2回目海に入るのはもういいかな、と言っているのに、せっかく来たんだから!とか、船酔いで体調が悪い人に、海に入れば治る!と連れ出したりするのはどうかと思います。
楽しんでもらいたいという気持ちは分かりますが。
デリカシーがないと感じました。
シュノーケルでは魚がたくさんいると言われましたがほとんどいませんでした。それならイルカもう1回ダイブしたかったです。
