My husband and I participated with our 3.6-year-old. As per the information provided, we brought towels, warm clothing, and motion sickness medication, and boarded the bus without a changing area (the wet suit rental didn't fit). I was worried about getting seasick and snorkeling in deep water for the first time, but the care from the staff completely alleviated my concerns! They said the hamburger was amazing. We swam with dolphins and fish, and also saw a humpback whale and a turtle. I was moved to hear the dolphins' voices in the video! We also enjoyed the slide, trampoline, and stand-up paddleboarding, so it was definitely a fantastic experience!
小3.6年と夫が参加しました。情報があったとおり、タオル、防寒着、酔い止め持参して、着替え場所無しでそのままバスにのりました。(ウェットレンタルはサイズ合いません)
酔いやすいのと、初めて深い海でのシュノーケルが不安でしたが、それを吹き飛ばすスタッフさんのケアにに大満足!!ハンバーガー最高と言ってました。イルカ、魚と泳げ、ザトウクジラとカメも見れました。ビデオに、イルカの声が入ってることにも感動!!滑り台、トランポリン、SUPもでき、大満喫間違い無しです!

I was worried because it was the rainy season, but the water clarity was the best during the trip, and I was able to see dolphins right in front of me.
Above all, I had a great time from the bus ride there to the return trip. The staff were kind and attentive, yet had a relaxed vibe that suited us perfectly. There were many foreign tourists as well, which really made it feel like we were in Hawaii! It was truly enjoyable.
雨期ということもあり心配していましたが、海の透明度も旅の中で1番良くイルカを目の前で見ることができました。

I couldn't see the dolphins, and although I was supposed to eat a hamburger on the boat, there weren't enough, so I ended up eating at the port after getting off the boat. We didn't have many photos of ourselves from the purchase, and I felt like I missed out.

I participated in a long-awaited tour to swim with dolphins during my trip to Hawaii. I have snorkeled a few times before, but swimming with wild dolphins was a first for me, and it was truly moving.
The weather was nice, but since it was February, it was a bit cold even with a rented wetsuit. I think it's a good idea to prepare for warmth and take motion sickness medication.
On this tour, I was lucky enough to see not only dolphins but also whales and sea turtles. The staff on the boat made it really fun with music and hula dance shows, so I had a great time. It became a wonderful memory of my time in Hawaii!
I definitely want to participate again the next time I come to Hawaii.
今回のハワイ旅行で念願のイルカと泳ぐツアーに参加しました。シュノーケリングは今までに何度かしたことはありますが、野生のイルカと泳ぐのは初めてだったので、とても感動しました。
天気は良かったですが、2月だったのでウエットスーツをレンタルしても少し寒かったです。
防寒と酔い止め対策は確りとしておいたほうが良いと思います。
今回のツアーでは運良くイルカだけでなく、クジラやウミガメも見ることができたし、船の中では音楽やフラダンスのショーでスタッフの方々が楽しく盛り上げてくれたので本当に楽しかったです。ハワイでの良い思い出になりました‼
次にハワイへ来るときも是非参加したいと思います。

It was my first time riding a submarine, and I had a lot of fun. The location was close to where I was staying, so I walked there. The staff were very kind to me, even though I arrived early and couldn't speak English. I'm grateful for that. It was probably just a coincidence, but when I participated, about 60% of the participants were Japanese. A person who could speak Japanese guided us, so I didn't need an audio guide in Japanese. I was able to see sea turtles, and it was a very enjoyable experience.

I was so excited to see whales and I wasn't disappointed! Guaranteed indeed.
We saw a few pod of whales and it was always entertaining to watch them swim by and see their blows. I actually saw one that threw its tail out of the water up close when I was heading to the restroom, but very quickly that no one noticed it I think. I just got lucky, haha!
It was a nice cruise, great customer service from the crew, delicious food, and gorgeous views of the Waikiki coastline and Diamond Head! There were fun activities on board too like lei making, ukulele lessons, and hula lessons. I really enjoyed the trip! I was with a group of friends but as a mom, I would definitely recommend this for families with young children as well, it's a great activity for all ages so anyone are welcome!

I booked a plan without pick-up. The check-in location listed on the voucher is the Paradise cruise office, but in reality, there is no such office, so you need to check in at the Stat of Honolulu reservation office.
The breakfast isn't particularly delicious, but I was able to enjoy warm dishes and coffee.
About two hours after departure, we spotted a whale just 20 meters from the boat! We were lucky to see it.
Since the boat is quite large, positioning is also important.

The second snorkeling spot for sea turtles was amazing. I had heard that the turtles are near the rocky areas, and that was true. I encountered three sea turtles.
In mid-January, the water was cold, and I rented a wetsuit for $10. I was told that renting would allow me to stay in the water longer, and that was indeed the case.
2本のシュノーケルのうち、2本目のウミガメスポットは最高でした。ウミガメは岩場の近くにいると聞いていましたが、その通りでした。3匹のウミガメに出会えました。

I'm glad I could park the rental car in the free parking lot. There were many cars parked on the street, and if the parking lot had been full, I might not have made it to the meeting on time...

We took a bus for about an hour from the Royal Hawaiian Center to board the boat.
We went out on the boat to search for dolphins. I ended up getting seasick during that time.
Along the way, we were able to see whales and sea turtles.
Finally, we entered the sea and swam with the dolphins. I was able to see the dolphins swimming right below me while snorkeling!
The crew was also eager for us to see them, and I was happy about their efforts.
On the way back, they served us spam onigiri, warm tea, and pineapple, and we even danced together.
I heard that in a few years, swimming with wild dolphins will no longer be allowed, so it was a precious experience.

This was a great trip to go on. The check-in went smooth and the staff were friendly. The ocean was rough but the boat was so stable that I did not even get sea sick. While we were not able to go snorkeling because of this, we saw a whale and lots of dolphins! The morning sunshine made for a beautiful backdrop to the Waianae coastline. Ocean Joy is environmentally friendly to the dolphins and we normally would get to snorkel- just not with the dolphins since it disturbs them.
Our photographer gave everyone a 50% discount on our normally $40 photo package and the photos turned out great! We appreciated the treatment of the crew and everyone had fun even though we did not snorkel. Drinks and lunch were served and everything was tasty. I had fun and look forward to going with this crew again someday. Thanks to Veltra for a smooth confirmation process. It could not have been easier to book a fun outing.

This is my second time going to Oahu but was traveling with friends who have never gone. One was really interested in whale watching so we saw links for the Honi Olani Catamaran Sail and decided to try this one out. We're super glad we did because this was such a great tour!
The staff are extremely friendly and they provide such a great experience. The first time we went, we didn't see any whales but that may have been because of the strong waves and number of boats sailing around which might have scared them away.
Regardless of seeing whales, the cruise was awesome. It was really nice to be able to feel the sun on the catamaran and have a nice beverage while we enjoyed the weather. The tour was nice to give us a free voucher to ride again to see if we can spot whales the second time and we did! We ended up seeing a mother whale teaching her male calf how to breach!
I would definitely cruise again with this crew when I come back to Oahu. Mahalo for the great experience guys

On the day of the tour, due to the wind around Molokini Island, we couldn't go to Molokini Island and instead changed to two other snorkeling spots where we might see sea turtles. To sum it up, we didn't get to see any sea turtles... (what a shame). However, it seems that some of the other participants did see them. Additionally, there was information that seals were present a few hours before we arrived at the snorkeling spot, so if you're lucky, you might encounter wild seals! How envious!
The tour crew is mostly local, so all explanations are in English. There was one kind and cool Japanese woman who explained important things in Japanese.
Although the weather on the day was sunny, it was somewhat cloudy and cold, which I think made it unsuitable for snorkeling. Still, there were quite a few fish, and it felt great to swim leisurely in the beautiful sea. There were a lot of whales! From a distance, I was moved to see them spouting water dramatically and diving with their tails raised, just like in pictures.
On the boat, there were plenty of drinks and breakfast and lunch provided. They even had a barbecue grill, and the freshly made hamburgers were delicious!!
While it was disappointing not to see any sea turtles, I was overall satisfied with the pleasant cruise, seeing whales, swimming in the ocean, and eating hamburgers.
参加当日はモロキニ島周辺の風の影響でモロキニ島には行けず、ウミガメが見れるかも…という他のシュノーケルスポット2か所へ変更となりました。結果から言うと、私たちはウミガメには会えず・・・(残念)。でも他の参加者は見れた人もいたようです。また、我々がそのシュノーケルスポットへ到着する数時間前にはアザラシがいたとの情報もあったようで、運が良ければ野生のアザラシに会えることもあるのかもしれないということです!羨ましい!
ツアークルーはほぼ現地人なので説明は全て英語です。お一人だけ日本人の優しくてクールなお姉さんがいらっしゃいましたので重要なことは日本語で説明してくれました。
当日の天気は晴れていたものの、曇りがちで寒かったのでシュノーケルには不向きな天候だったかと思います。それでも魚はまぁまぁいたし、綺麗な海をのんびり泳げてとても気持ちよかったです。クジラは沢山いました!遠くからですが、豪快に潮を吹く様子や、絵に描いたように尻尾を上げて潜っていく様子を肉眼でも見れて感動。
船上では十分な飲み物と朝食・昼食をいただけます。バーベキューグリルまで完備されており、作り立てのハンバーガーが美味しかった!!
ウミガメに会えなかったことは残念でしたが、気持ちよくクルーズし、クジラを見て、海を泳いで、ハンバーガーを食べて、総合的に満足です。
