Disappointed. がっかり

Reviewed by: おさむ

The waves were choppy due to the rain, and I got seasick! The water was murky, so I couldn't see any dolphins! The water temperature was low, and it was really cold, which was disappointing!

Aloha Osamu,

Thank you very much for your comment.
Unfortunately, there are aspects that depend on the ocean conditions, and I am very sorry that you were unable to meet the dolphins.

If you have the opportunity to come to Hawaii again, we would be very happy if you could try again.
All the staff and crew are looking forward to the day we can meet you again.

Dolphin Staff, Noriko

Aloha おさむ様

どうしても海のコンディションによってきてしまう部分もあり、
イルカ先生に会えなかったこと、大変残念に感じております。

The best 最高

Reviewed by: まはろー

The explanation bus provided clear information for those who are new to dolphins and snorkeling.

I was able to see dolphins very closely several times, which was incredibly moving. However, I was disappointed that I couldn't see any turtles, as I believe we were supposed to. It might have been because we had a hard time spotting the dolphins at first. Also, perhaps due to the location, there weren't many fish around.

You can rent a wetsuit for $10 per person, which is advisable since there are many jellyfish. The wetsuit is shorter than shorts, so if you're concerned, it's better to bring something that covers your legs.

During our free time, I was very satisfied with the amount of time we could spend on stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) and kayaking. The hamburgers and pineapples for lunch were also very sweet and delicious.

The staff members were very kind, and I had a wonderful time. Thank you! I would like to participate in other activities the next time I visit Hawaii.

イルカやシュノーケルに関して初めてのかたでもわかりやすいようにせつめいバスでしてくれていました。

イルカはすごく近くで数回見る事が出来てとても感動しました。
ただ、カメも本来は見ることができるはずでしたが、最初イルカを中々見れなかったせいか
カメが見れなかったのは残念でした。
あとは、場所柄なのかほとんど魚はいませんでした。

ウェットスーツを1人10ドルでレンタルできるのでクラゲも多いしかりたほうがいいです。
下が半ズボンより短い長さなので不安でしたら自分で足が隠れるものをもっていったほうがいいです。

自由時間にはSUPとカヤックも満足するくらい行う事が出来てとても満足しました。
お昼ご飯のハンバーガーやパイナップルもとっても甘くておいしかったです。

スタッフの方々もとても優しくて、とても楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。ありがとうございます。
またハワイにいった際にはほかのアクティビティにも参加してみたいです。

we were fortunate to see 2 species of dolphins, a humpback whale and sea turtles!

Reviewed by: ショウコ

We were picked up by a large bus decorated with dolphins right from the start of the day, which really got us excited! The staff inside the bus were energetic and provided clear and entertaining explanations, and before we knew it, we arrived at the boarding location. Once on board, we were lucky enough to encounter dolphins right away and had a great view of wild dolphins! It was a bit unfortunate that the water was murky, but everyone enjoyed snorkeling and paddleboarding, spending their time as they pleased. I wasn't feeling well and rested on the boat, but even then, the staff kindly checked on me, and I am very grateful for that. Afterward, we had a lot of fun with hamburgers, snacks, hula dancing, and more, creating wonderful memories (●´ω`●). I highly recommend this for honeymooners (♡ˊvˋ♡)!

朝イチからイルカのペイントがされた大きなバスでお迎えにきていただきテンションがあがります♪車内もテンションの高いスタッフさんが面白くわかりやすく説明してくださりあっという間に乗船場所へ着きました。乗船すると運良くすぐにイルカに出会うことができ、バッチリ野生のイルカを見ることができました!!少し海が濁っていたのが残念ですが、その後も皆さんシュノーケルをしたりSUPをしたりと思い思いの時間を過ごすことができました。私わ体調が悪くなり船の上で休んでいましたが、その時もスタッフさんが優しく声をかけてくれてとても感謝しています。その後ハンバーガーやお菓子、フラダンス等内容盛りだくさんでとてもいい思い出ができました(●´ω`●)ハネムーンの皆さん(♡ˊvˋ♡)おすすめです♪

モロキニ島シュノーケリングクルーズ <朝・昼食付/現地集合>

I swam with sea turtles. ウミガメと一緒におよぎました

Reviewed by: このみん

We participated as a family, including my 6-year-old son who is in the first grade. On Molokini Island, there were many fish and the water clarity was excellent. After that, we moved by boat to a spot for sea turtles, and the guide pointed out, "Look, there's a turtle!" The turtle was so cute and swam leisurely without fleeing even when we got close. If your child can snorkel, this tour is definitely enjoyable. I want to go again.

6歳の小学一年生の息子を含めた家族で参加しました。モロキニ島ではたくさんの魚がいて透明度も高く、よかったです。その後船で移動して、ウミガメのスポットでシュノーケルをしていたら、ガイドの方があそこにカメがいる!と教えてくださいました。カメはとってもかわいくて、人間が近くに来ても逃げずに悠々と泳いでいました。シュノーケルができるお子さんならば、絶対に楽しめるツアーです。もう一度行きたいです。

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>

I participated with my 6-year-old child. 6歳の子供と参加しました

Reviewed by: このみん

I participated with my son, a first grader who loves sharks, and my family. I was worried about the high waves, but we were able to see plenty of sharks while wearing life jackets. The gaps in the cage were quite wide, making it seem like a child could easily slip through, which was quite terrifying as a parent. However, my child held on tightly to the bars of the cage, so it was okay. One of the Spanish women who entered the cage with us wore water shoes, and they hit my body hard, which was very painful. Everyone is supposed to take off their sandals and shoes before boarding the boat, but it seems that this was overlooked. It's best to be cautious and check if the people in your group are wearing shoes or sandals. Other than that, I was very satisfied.

サメ好きの小学校1年生の息子と家族で参加しました。波が高くてどうなることかと思いましたが、ライフジャケットを着せてたっぷりサメを見れました。ゲージの隙間がかなり広くて、子供は容易にすり抜けられそうなほどでしたので、親としてはかなり恐怖でしたが、子供はしっかりゲージのバーにつかまっていたので、大丈夫でした。一緒にゲージに入ったスペイン人の女性の一人が、あろうことかウォーターシューズを履いて入ったので、靴ががんがん身体にあたってとっても痛かったです。船に乗船するときサンダルや靴はすべて脱いで入っているはずなのに、漏れていたようです。一緒に入るグループの人が靴やサンダルを履いていないかどうか、気を付けていたほうがいいです。それ以外は大満足でした。

I was nervous about snorkeling for the first time since I'm not a good swimmer, but they explained everything in Japanese very carefully, which made me feel at ease. I only needed to bring my swimsuit and towel, as everything else was available for rent, so there were no issues. The ocean was incredibly beautiful, and I encountered four sea turtles! It was an amazing experience! I want to participate again!

泳ぎも苦手で初めてのシュノーケリングに不安を感じていましたが、日本語で丁寧に説明してくれて、安心して参加出来ました。水着とバスタオルだけ着ていけばあとは全部レンタル品や貸し出しの用意があるので、問題ありませんでした。

their lights were dim compared to other companies, and they went in much earlier than the other boats.

Reply from activity provider

Thank you for reviewing your tour with us. The lights we use are quite powerful, we do place a special blue filter over them to attract more of the microscopic plankton which the mantas' appear to prefer over the larger zooplankton, that may be why they appeared to be dim by comparison.

Extremely satisfied with the shark tour. 大満足のシャークツアー

Reviewed by: やーー

I participated in the trip with my sister!
We were the only Japanese participants among the attendees, and since the staff couldn't speak Japanese, I was a bit anxious at first. However, the staff explained things using gestures, simple English, and broken Japanese, so I didn't have any major issues.
They provided us with a guidebook that had the tour flow and precautions written in Japanese, so as long as you read that, there are no problems!

We went out to sea on a boat and once we arrived at the spot, we put on our snorkels and entered the cage.
Swimming with the sharks in the beautiful deep blue sea was more fun than I imagined!
You can bring an underwater camera or smartphone into the water, so you can take photos and videos with them in waterproof cases.

I usually don’t get seasick, but I took motion sickness medication just in case.
The boat rocked quite a bit, and some people looked a bit worn out...
I think the motion sickness medication is essential.

If you want to relax, that's great, but if you're looking for something a little different!
If just going to the beach or shopping isn't enough for you!
This tour is highly recommended! ( ´ ▽ ` )ノ

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

A stunning experience for all

Reviewed by: Amber Bialy

My husband and I were both nervous, I get seasick and he has a fear of deeper water and has never snorkeled. Captain Morgan was amazing and the crew was super reassuring. They gave me ginger candy when I got on. I only felt a little queasy, it wasn't as bad as I thought. Short ride and they got us in the water and we had a full display of barrel rolls by 2 mantas! My husband had an amazing time and he enjoyed it more than he thought he would. He would do it again! You stay in the water for a reasonable amount of time, I got out a tad early but we went back shortly after. Tea, soda and fresh pineapple was offered. A MUST do and I couldn't ask for a better crew. Bring your own goggles and snorkel if you have them, some masks leaked a little. Worth it even if you get seasick (lots of ginger and dramamine!)
Pick a day with no wind as Well! We had a great experience.

ハワイ水中スクーター 泳げなくてもOK!シーボブで海底散歩&シュノーケリングクルーズ

I'm a little disappointed. 少しがっかりです。

Reviewed by: toshi

I participated on October 16. I understand that the visibility in the water was not as good as I had expected and that there weren't many fish, which I attribute to the season and weather. However, during the underwater photography session, I had a very painful experience because I had to force my family of four together, and my hands and feet got caught in the scooter. Furthermore, despite paying $75 for the photos and videos, I am very disappointed that they have not yet been sent to me.

10月16日に参加させて頂きました。海中の透明度が思っていた程でなく魚達もそれほど多くはなかった事は、時期や天気に依るものと納得しています。が、水中撮影の時、家族4人を無理矢理寄せ集めた為に、手や足がスクーターに挟まれて非常に痛い思いをしました。更に、$75-も支払い写真&動画を購入したにも拘らず、未だに送られてこないのは非常に残念でなりません。

Reply from activity provider

Thank you very much for participating in the tour. However, I sincerely apologize for not being able to provide you with satisfactory service.

As mentioned in a separate email, we have received reports that when operating the underwater scooter according to the instructor's instructions, hands and feet should not extend outside the scooter, thus preventing them from getting caught in other scooters. However, upon reviewing past tour experiences and photos, we found that some customers were operating the scooter with their hands and feet extended outside. To prevent this from happening again, we have requested the operating company to review their explanation of the correct way to ride the underwater scooter. We apologize for the inconvenience caused by the lack of explanation from the operating company.

Regarding the photos you purchased, as mentioned in a separate email, we have already sent them to the specified email address. Please check.

We take your feedback seriously and will work with the operating company to further improve our services in the future. Thank you very much for your valuable feedback despite your busy schedule.

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

Manta ray with NO CRUISE

Reviewed by: Steve

Crew was very nice and captain had a great story, but we were ones that had little luck with manta's. We did see one or two, but it took a full hour in water, where some of my party began to get sick and missed it. The most disappointing part was absolutely no cruise. Do not expect a cruise. We coasted for 5 min and went out where I could snorkel on my own. I really thought we would sail for a bit and get snacks instead of one piece of pineapple. Understand you are hanging onto a ladder the whole time. I get it for safety reasons, but not what I expected. There is no real snorkeling where your swimming around. No boat lights other then ladder. I felt we were using other boats lights, where we were the last ones to ever see anything, unless we got lucky. Our ladder had lights. I thought this was also a 3 to 4 hour tour. It took 5 or 10 min. To get where we were going, then hour in water, then go home. No drinks on this, and hit and miss with hot chocolate. I highly recommended actually sailing first and open the sails like they said would happen and choosing this boat in the first place. My party was disappointed. My kids were troopers and stayed out with me and saw the one manta, before turning back where the rest of the people holding onto the ladder didn't see it. At least give us a cruise first with this cool boat.

Thank you for taking the time to review your manta tour. We are happy to hear you enjoyed the staff and also sorry to hear you did not fully enjoy the trip. We, unfortunately, do not always get the opportunity to sail prior to the manta tour. As stated on the website, factors such as mooring availability water conditions and weather play a great part in what happens on each individual tour. If I could have it my way, every night we would have just enough wind cruise out to sea while watching a glorious sunset (No rain). Return back to the manta site to find our mooring available, at this point the wind would calm and the sea would be flat and upon entering the water all of Kona's manta rays would gather under our raft for the entire hour. Everyone would be happy, but alas this does not happen as often as I wish it would.

マンタ大学夜学部 野生のマンタ&ナイトシュノーケリングツアー <送迎可/日本語スタッフ乗船日あり>

I was super excited with my dad! I was very satisfied! 父と一緒に大興奮!大満足!

Reviewed by: maO

I participated with my father, who is over 60 years old. We were extremely excited and satisfied to see manta rays gracefully spinning right in front of us! The boat sped quickly to the manta observation point, and while we waited for the manta rays, the gentle rocking of the waves made some people feel a bit queasy, but it was a safe activity. It was a tour with a Japanese guide, and nearly half of the participants were Japanese.

It's definitely not cheap, but I can recommend this tour to family and friends of all ages!

60歳すぎの父と二人で参加しました。マンタが目の前でヒラヒラ回転するマンタに大興奮で大満足です!マンタの観察ポイントまで船で猛スピードで飛ばして行くのと、波に揺られながらマンタを待つ間の絶妙な揺れで何人かの人は気分が悪くなってしまっていましたが、安全なアクティビティです。日本語ガイド付きのツアーでしたが、参加者の半分弱が日本人でした。
決して安くはありませんが、家族にも友人にも幅広い年代の方にオススメできるツアーです!

I was moved! 感動した!

Reviewed by: 両親とこれて良かった

I participated with my elderly parents. I chose this tour from many available ocean tours because I wanted to show my parents, who had never interacted with wild dolphins, and I also wanted to swim with them.

It was also important whether the boat had a toilet. However, I thought it would be nice to have one, but it wasn't a deal-breaker.

First of all, I felt that you need to be physically fit. Using fins for the first time took a lot of energy. I had to work hard to swim and catch even a small chance to see the dolphins. The dolphins swam away quickly before I could even get used to snorkeling, and I was surprised at how fast the first encounter happened!

It reminded me of my time in sports club activities. It was such a feeling that when we finally saw the dolphins together, I was truly moved.

I thought I would invite my parents to experience the underwater world, but I felt a bit guilty thinking that if I struggled, they would too. However, it seemed they enjoyed themselves on the boat. They were excitedly saying things like, "There were dolphins with their babies!" and "I think I saw flying fish!" It made me happy to see my parents acting like children.

For snorkeling, I recommend the waters on the opposite side of Oahu Island rather than this side, so I wouldn't recommend this tour for that. However, if you have a strong desire to swim with dolphins, I hope you will build up your stamina and participate!

This tour was filled with the warm feelings of the staff who wanted everyone to see the dolphins. Thank you for having a dedicated photographer who captured wonderful memories of the trip. The price might be high, but I want to say thank you for creating lasting memories for me, as I felt this might be the last trip with my parents.

Thank you for taking such beautiful photos! My father and mother's best smiles were captured there!

年老いた両親とともに参加しました。野生のイルカに触れ合ったことのない両親に見せてあげたいという気持ちと、私が一緒に泳いでみたいという理由から数多くある海のツアーから選びました。

また船にトイレを備え付けているかも重要な点でした。しかし、これはあればなおよしぐらいな気持ちでよいかなと思います。

まず、体力ないと無理だと感じました。フィンを使うのが初めてだとまずそれに体力使いました。またほんの少しのチャンスに食らいつくために懸命に顔をつけて泳ぎます。スノーケルをつけて泳ぐのもならないままあっというイルカは泳ぎ去ってしまい最初のアタックはあっという間でびっくりしました笑

運動部の部活を思い出しました。そんな感じでしたのでみんなでイルカを見れたときにはほんとうに感動しました。

自分が体験して両親もできたら海の中は誘おうと思ってましたが、自分もこんな感じなのに無理だなと思い申し訳無い気持ちも起こりましたが、船の上ではそれはそれで楽しめていたようです。イルカが親子でいたよ!トビウオもいたみたいよ!などと子供のようにはしゃぐ親の姿が嬉しかったです。

シュノーケルするにはこちら側の海ではなくオワフ島の反対側の海がオススメなのでこのツアーはオススメしませんが、イルカと一緒に泳ぐぞ!って気持ちが強い方は是非体力つけて参加してほしいなと思います^^

皆んなにイルカを見せてあげたいって思うスタッフさんの暖かい気持ちが詰まったツアーでした。専属にカメラマンさんがいて旅の良い思い出も残してくれてありがとうございます。値段は高いかもしれませんが、もう両親とはこられない最後の旅となる気持ちの高かった私には残るものを作ってくれてありがとうと言いたいです。

写真綺麗にとってくださりありがとうございました!父や母の最高の笑顔がそこにありました!

The experience of being on a submarine was good, but the waiting time was long, and I wished that photo opportunities were limited to those who wanted them.

The explanations were played in Japanese through headphones, but the live English voice was loud and overlapping, making it difficult to hear.

I didn't see many fish, and the colors weren't vivid. I understood well the importance of environmental protection.

潜水艦に乗れる経験は よかったが、待ち時間が長くて 写真撮影は、希望者だけにして欲しかった。

説明が日本語でヘッドホンから流れるけれど生の英語の声が大きくて重なり 聞き取りづらかった。

魚があまり見られなく、色も鮮明でなかった。環境保護の大切さは良くわかった、
