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 a bit disappointing. 少し残念でした

Reviewed by: kkk

I signed up for this tour because my mother said she didn't want to wear a swimsuit. I had thought I would see beautiful fish the whole time while diving, so I was disappointed that I could only see them at certain points. The colors were also dull. My family was happy, but I felt disappointed. I rated it as average, balancing my family's satisfaction with my dissatisfaction. There may not be anyone who wants to participate based on my experience, but for those who don't understand English or families with small children, I recommend joining the tour with a Japanese guide.

母が水着を着たくないと言っていたので、水着を着なくていいこのツアーに申し込みました。
潜っている間中、ずっと綺麗な魚が見られると思っていたので、ポイントごとにしか見られなくて残念でした。色も地味でした。家族は喜んでいましたが、私は残念に思いました。
評価は家族の満足と私の不満を平均して普通にしました。
私の体験談で参加したいと思われる方はいらっしゃらないかもしれませんが、英語がわからない方、小さいお子様がいるご家族の方は日本語ガイドの会の乗船をお勧めいたします。

The weather was nice on the day, and fortunately, we were able to see a pod of dolphins not too far from the beach.

The instructor and photographer skillfully got close to the dolphins, so I recommend staying close to the instructor as much as possible.

イルカ中学　野生のイルカ＆ウミガメシュノーケリングクルーズ　高速ボートでイルカ遭遇率アップ！＜少人数制／ワイキキ＆コオリナ送迎可／日本語／ランチ付き＞

There were more dolphins than I expected! ★ 予想以上のイルカの数でした★

Reviewed by: ryomai

The boat ride from the port took about an hour. There were a few waves, which made the boat ride enjoyable, and it felt like no time at all as we admired the mountains of Hawaii that we usually can't see. However, we were starting to worry about whether we would actually see the dolphins. The captain and crew were restless, and so were the participants.

When we looked at the surface of the water, we saw many sparkling things. It was the dorsal fins of the dolphins! We quickly put on our snorkels, and at the call of our class representative, Su-san, we jumped into the sea. As we desperately followed Su-san, we saw a family of dolphins swimming gracefully beneath us! The dolphins that came one after another were a bit smaller and differently colored than those we see in aquariums, and they were so cute.

Moreover, another group of dolphins arrived, and we were able to swim with them multiple times! Swimming in the ocean, where we couldn't hear any outside sounds and could only hear the voices of the dolphins, was truly mystical and an unforgettable experience.

Satisfied to have encountered the dolphins, we moved to the shallows to enjoy snorkeling freely. We encountered countless fish and even a sea turtle, surrounded by the great nature of Hawaii, and we savored a truly luxurious time.

This experience made me feel like I could work hard again starting tomorrow to see the sea and mountains of Hawaii someday. Thank you very much!

港からボートで約1時間の移動。少し波があったので、ボートに乗っているのも楽しく、普段は見ることができないハワイの山々を眺めながらの移動だったのであっという間でした。
ただ、なかなかイルカ先生の姿が見えず
…。
本当に出逢えるのか、私たち夫婦に不安がよぎった頃でした。
船長とクルーがそわそわ。参加者もそわそわ。
水面を見たら、キラキラしたものがたくさんあったのです。イルカ先生の背びれでした！
急いでシュノーケルを着け、学級委員長のすーさんの声で、一気に海へ。必死にすーさんについて行くと、私たちの下をイルカの家族がすいすい泳いでいました！次から次へと来るイルカは、水族館で見るものより少し小さく、色も違ってとっても可愛かったです。
しかも、また違う群れがやって来て、何度もイルカ達と一緒に泳ぐことができました！
外の音が聞こえない海の中で、イルカの声だけを聞きながら一緒に泳いだのは、本当に神秘的で、忘れられない体験です。

イルカ先生と出逢えて大満足した私たちは、浅瀬に移動して自由にシュノーケリングを楽しみました。数え切れないほどの魚と、ウミガメ先生にも出逢い、ハワイの大自然に囲まれて、とても贅沢な時間を味わいました。

いつかまたハワイの海や山を見るために、明日からまた仕事がんばろうと思えるような体験でした。

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＞ *48時間前までキャンセル無料

I was so excited to see a manta ray for the first time! 初マンタに大興奮!！

Reviewed by: ナチュラル

In November, I went to the Big Island with a female friend. Since it was a bit cheaper, I participated in a night snorkeling and manta ray tour for the first time in my life.

It was a meet-up plan, so I scouted the location the day before, but on the day itself, I almost ended up being very late due to a mistake. The meeting place might be a bit hard to find. I was supposed to turn right at the intersection of Honokohau Harbor, but I passed it. Be careful, as there are similar diving tours and delis in the area.

After gathering, we met with a Japanese female guide and a local male captain. I was nervous about my first night snorkeling, but both of them were kind, so I didn't have to worry. We borrowed wetsuits for free and got ready. There were six Japanese participants and three Americans.

Then we set off for the manta ray tour!

We boarded a large rubber boat and headed towards the manta point for about 20 minutes as the sun set. The sunset was beautiful, and it felt great to speed across the ocean, relieving stress! During the ride, we were hit by strong winds and splashes from the waves (especially from the person in front), and the boat rocked quite a bit, so be cautious.

I was anxious about whether we would really see manta rays and what night snorkeling would be like. However, when we arrived at the point, there were many other tour boats with their lights on. It seems that the lights attract plankton, which in turn attracts the manta rays. There were divers as well, but we wore snorkeling masks and fins, floated on a board with a light, and held onto the railing while looking around with our feet up. If you relax, it doesn't take much energy.

The water was a bit cold, but it felt warmer underwater than outside.

When I submerged my face, it was like entering another world! A paradise of fish! The light illuminated the schools of fish, making them sparkle! I was amazed by the number of fish, but more than that, it was the manta rays! I couldn't believe how many there were! The manta rays swam gracefully right next to us. Watching them feed with their mouths wide open was a sight to behold! I thought, "Wow, are we going to collide?" I was truly moved! It was so exciting!

We didn't have an underwater camera, but those moments should definitely be captured in photos! Seeing so many manta rays up close is something you can only experience in the Big Island. It's not something you see often! I really regret not buying an underwater camera to bring along. I wish I had manta ray photos! I highly recommend bringing one!

After about 30 to 40 minutes in the water, we returned to the boat. The movement of the boat and the waves while watching underwater can make you feel seasick. My friend said she felt a bit unwell. If you're prone to seasickness, it might be a good idea to take some medication beforehand.

On the way back, it gets really cold. Your body is wet, and with the wind, a thick bath towel is essential. It would also be good to have a jacket that can get wet. It’s really cold! But they serve warm cocoa and snacks, which helps warm us up a bit as we return to the port. It was pitch dark around us, but looking up at the sky revealed a stunning starry night! That was also moving! It was a tour that made me want to go again and see it again! Definitely worth seeing!

11月に女友達とハワイ島に行きました。少し安くなっていたので、人生で初めてナイトシュノーケル＆マンタツアーに参加しました。

現地集合プランだったので、前日に下見をしましたが当日結局間違えて危うく大遅刻するはめになりそうでした。
集合場所が少しわかりにくいかもしれません。ホノコハウハーバーの交差点を曲がり、一本目を右折するはずが通り過ぎてしまいました。そうすると、同じようなダイビングツアーやDeliがあるので気をつけてください。

さて、集合した後は女性の日本人ガイドさんと、現地の男性キャプテンと合流。初の夜シュノーケルでドキドキしていましたが、お二人とも優しいので心配することはありませんでした。ウエットスーツを無料で借りて装着。
参加者は日本人6名、アメリカ人3名でした。

いざマンタツアーへ出港！

大きなゴムボートに乗り、夕日が沈む中、マンタポイントまで20分くらい進みます。夕日が沈むのはとてもキレイで、大海原を風を切って走るので気持ち良く、ストレス発散！みたいな感じでした。移動中は、ガンガン風や、波しぶき(特に前の人)を浴びます。しかも波で結構揺れますのでご注意を。

本当にマンタに会えるのか、夜のシュノーケルはどんな感じか不安でした。しかし、ポイントに着くと他のツアー船もいっぱいいて、ライトをつけています。その灯りにプランクトンが集まり、餌を食べにマンタが集まるようになっているそうです。ダイビングの人もいましたが、私達はシュノーケルマスクとフィンを装着し、サーフボードにライトが付いたような板を浮かべ、その周囲の手すりにつかまり、みんなで足を浮かせながら眺めるというものでした。リラックスすれば体力もそんな使うことはありません。
水は少し冷たいですが、外より水の中の方が温かく感じるくらいでした。

ちょっと顔を沈めれば、そこは別世界‼︎魚の楽園です‼︎
魚の群れにライトが当たり、キラキラ光って見えます‼︎
こんなに魚が〜！って思いますが、それよりもやっぱりマンタです‼︎
まさかこんなにいるとは思えないくらいの数がいました‼︎
至近距離をマンタが悠遊と泳いでいます。大口を広げながら餌を食べる姿も必見です‼︎うわーっぶつかっちゃうんじゃないのーって思えるくらい！
本当に感動しました‼︎大興奮です‼︎

私達は水中カメラを持っていなかったのですが、あれは絶対写真におさめるべきです‼︎あんな数のマンタ、至近距離で見れるのは、ハワイ島くらいじゃないでしょうか。なかなか見れるものじゃないと思います!
本当に、何で水中カメラ買って持って行かなかったんだ〜と後悔しています。悔しい〜マンタの写真が欲しかった〜〜〜。
ぜひ、持っていくことをお勧めします！

30.40分くらい入ってみた後は船に戻ります。移動の船の揺れや、水中で波に揺られながらずっと見てるので酔いやすいです。友達も、少し気分が悪くなったと言っていました。酔いやすい方は、酔い止め薬を飲んでおいたほがいいかもしれません。

帰りは、めちゃくちゃ寒いです。身体は濡れてるし、風もあたって厚手のバスタオルは必需品です。濡れてもいい上着もあると、尚良いと思います。本当に寒いです！
でも温かいココアやスナック菓子を出してくれます。それで少し温まりながら港に戻ります。辺りは真っ暗ですが、空を見上げれば満天の星空が見えます‼︎あれにも感動しました‼︎
もう一度行きたい！見たい！と思えるツアーでした‼︎
絶対見る価値あり‼︎

3-Hour Waikiki Deluxe Turtle Snorkel Sail with Lunch - Hawaii Nautical

Amazing tour highly recommended!

Reviewed by: steve

We originally booked turtle bay tour but were upgraded to a dolphin tour on a different day as the tour ended up not running on the day. The tour bus picked us up at 7am from the hotel free of charge to the destination which roughly took about an hour. It was bit of a long drive but the driver was very friendly and continued interesting conversation so was not boring at all.
The vessel was very clean and well equpped. Crews were super friendly and helpful. As we jumped on light breakfast and fruit platters were served. The tour included lunch and 2 alcoholic beverages but better yet they provided 1 dollar beer and 2 dollar cocktails - the cheapest alcohol in hawaii!
The first stop was to watch the dolphins. I think there were at least 50 dolphins. I have never seen dolphins so up close - it was simply magical.
2nd stop was to do the snorkeling. The weather was perfect and the water was so calm and clear almost like an aquarium. After the snorkeling session sandwich bar lunch was served which in my opinion was quite decent - had lots of fresh stuff including the kalua pig.
After the lunch, we were taken back to the shore then transferred back to the hotel by around 1pm. Although the tour was quite packed we still had half a day afterwards.
The tour was overall very well organised and action packed that we did not have any chance to be bored.
I will definitely come back for more tours with Hawaii Nautical as this was hands down the best snorkeling tour I have experienced.

It was a wonderful experience! 素晴らしい体験！

Reviewed by: kilita

You can have a rare experience of interacting directly with dolphins. At first, I wasn't particularly interested, but I participated because my wife wanted to join. Honestly, I felt the price was high, but the experience was worth it. I was able to kiss, touch, and swim with the dolphins. The pool was located a bit away from the facility. Participants are not allowed to take photos, but spectators (for a fee) can take pictures. Since the shooting will be from a bit of a distance, I think a DSLR with a telephoto lens is necessary. By the way, the Royal Dolphin Swim takes place in the pool where the dolphin show is held, and I thought I would try that next.

イルカと直接触れ合える貴重な体験ができます。
最初は特に興味が無く、妻が一緒に参加したいということで参加しました。
正直、料金は高いと感じていましたが、十分に納得できる内容でした。
イルカとキス、触る、泳ぐことができました。
プールは施設から少し離れたところでした。
参加者による撮影はできませんが、見学者（料金必要）による撮影は可能です。
少し遠い場所からの撮影となるので、望遠レンズを付けた一眼レフが必要かと思います。
ちなみに、ロイヤルドルフィンスイムは施設内のイルカショーをするプールで行われており、次はこちらを体験しようと思いました。

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

Well done!

Reviewed by: Traveling Jewels

I was very impressed with our snorkel cruise. The food was delicious and the staff was very nice. Unfortunately, the water at Molokini was rough - so they substituted Coral Gardens instead. Turtle Town was great - saw several turtles. I liked how they posted someone over the area where best to see them - so you knew where to go. Coral Gardens was good as well. They offered wet shirts onboard for $10, which is nice if you get cold easily. They also offer Snuba for $58 - you get to do that for about 30 minutes. Best to reserve ahead as they only offer a limited number. I felt they really work hard to give you a great experience - while keeping safety in mind.

シュノーケリングクルーズ　イルカやウミガメに出会えるチャンスも！？選べる8時／12時出港プラン＜ハワイアンプレートランチ＆アルコール4杯付き／ワイキキ送迎あり＞

I couldn't participate. 参加できなかった

Reviewed by: hiraoka

I gathered at the Hyatt Regency Hotel on ○○ Street at 6:15 AM, woke up at 5:30, and was at the meeting place 10 minutes early, but the bus didn't arrive. When I asked the hotel staff, I realized it was on the opposite street. I ran to ○○ Street and arrived at the meeting place by 6:17, but there was no one there. Thinking the pickup hadn't arrived yet, I asked other tour company staff present, and they said, "They usually wait for about 10 minutes, so if they haven't come by 30 minutes, you should contact them." So I waited. When they still didn't come, I called the number listed, but it was too early to connect since it was outside of business hours, and the voicemail was in English and quite fast, so I couldn't understand it. I had no choice but to wait until the business hours started at 7:00 to call again, but there was only English-speaking staff, and we couldn't communicate. I explained the situation at the Japanese counter of the Hyatt Regency Hotel, and when they spoke on my behalf, they said, "We waited for about 5 minutes, but since no one came, we left. You can either change the date or try to catch a taxi right now, but it might be too late." Since I had booked optional tours online for other days, I couldn't change it, and I didn't even know the tour location, so I had no choice but to cancel.

Other tour participants were waiting for their people to arrive, and if the phone had connected, I might have made it in time. Above all, the fact that there wasn't a single staff member who could speak Japanese was the most frustrating part.

I reserved a rotating restaurant with a night view on this site, but there were no Japanese-speaking staff there either, and the transportation to Tantalus was not scheduled properly, so it ended up being the same time as the meal. I wanted to go to Tantalus more than have dinner, but I couldn't go, and I really thought I shouldn't have made a reservation on this site!

朝6:15にハイアット・リージェンシーホテルの○○通り集合で、5:30に起きて10分前には集合場所にいたが、バスが来なくてホテルの人に聞くと反対の通りだったことに気がついた。走って○○通りまで行って6:17には集合場所にいたが、姿はなく、まだお迎え来てないのだと思い、そこにいた他のツアー会社の人などにきくと、『大体10分くらいしかは待ってくれるから30分まで待っても来なかったら連絡してみればいいよ』と言われたので待っていた。それでも来なかったので書かれていたところに電話すると、時間が早いため営業時間外で繋がらず留守電も英語でかなり早いためききとれなかった。仕方なく営業開始時間の7:00まで待ってから電話すると、英語スタッフしか居なくて私たちでの会話は無理だった。ハイアット・リージェンシーホテルの日本語カウンターで経緯を説明し、会話してもらうと、『5分くらい待ったが来なかったので出発した。日にちを変えるか、今からすぐにタクシーを拾ってきてもギリギリ間に合うか分からないくらい』とのことだった。他の日もネットでオプショナルツアーを入れていたため変更はきかず、ツアー開催場所も分からないくらいのでやむを得ず断然した。
他のツアーの人は人が来るまで待っていてくれていたし、電話が繋がればすぐに行って間に合ったかもしれないし、なにしろ、日本語が話せるスタッフが一人もいない事が一番嫌だった。

このサイトで夜景の見える回転式レストランを予約したが、そこにも日本語が話せるスタッフはいなくて付いてくるはずのタンタラスの丘送迎も時間設定ができず、勝手に食事開始時間と同じになってしまうため食事よりもタンタラスの丘に行きたかったのに行けず、本当にこのサイトで予約しちゃだめだ！と思った。

It was really great! すごくよかったです！

Reviewed by: たかなみ

We participated on November 7th. My husband and I can hardly speak English, so we joined this tour because there was a Japanese guide. When we arrived at the port after requesting a pick-up, we found that we were the only Japanese participants, which made us quite anxious. To be honest, I was very mentally stressed and constantly nervous. However, on the boat, a woman provided us with guidance in Japanese and paid attention to us, which was a great help. She gave us a proper explanation of snorkeling and offered advice, and we were able to see sea turtles. The waters of Maui are truly beautiful, and the fish and coral reefs were so vibrant that they left a lasting impression. It had been 20 years since I last swam in the ocean, but my worries disappeared, and I was extremely satisfied. Unlike Honolulu, Maui may have fewer Japanese visitors, but if you have the chance to go, I definitely recommend participating. The waters of Maui are truly wonderful. If I have the opportunity to go to Maui again, I would love to participate once more. Thank you for the valuable experience and memories.

11月7日に参加しました。私たち夫婦は、ほとんど英語ができず、日本語案内があるということでこのツアーに参加しました。送迎をお願いし、港に到着してみると当日参加した日本人は私たち夫婦二人しかおらず、かなり不安な状態でした。っというかかなり精神的に追い込まれていて緊張しっぱなしでした。そんな中、船上で女性の方に日本語案内していただき、私たちに気を配ってもらったので大変助かりました。きちんとシュノーケリングの説明をしていただき、アドバイスもあり、海ガメにも会えることができました。マウイの海は本当にきれいで、魚も珊瑚礁も大感動するくらい目にも鮮やかでした。私は海で泳ぐことじたいが20年ぶりだったのですが、そんな不安も吹っ飛ぶくらい大変満足でした。マウイはホノルルと違って日本人が訪れることが少ないのかもしれませんが、もし行く機会があれば是非参加してみてください。マウイの海は本当に素敵です。またマウイに行く機会があれば是非参加したいです。貴重な体験そして思い出をありがとうございました。

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

Great Snorkeling Trip

Reviewed by: Tianxiong

This trip is a morning trip to Molokini and then Turtle town close to west Maui. The price is quite reasonable since it includes Cruise, continental breakfast, burger lunch, drinks with alcohol or non-alcohol, and snorkeling gears. It has snorkeling noodles and boards for those who are not good at swimming. They also have lifeguard, so pretty safe for this trip. The total snorkeling time is two hours: one hour for Molokini, and one hour for Turtle town.

Molokini is wonderful, many colorful fishes and coral reefs there. It’s the crater of a hidden volcano, of course extinct volcano.

The next stop is Turtle town, which locates close to west Maui. It’s hundreds meters off the shore. We see several turtles under the water. We followed a turtle and enjoyed swimming with it.

By the way, the scene from the cruise is fantastic. We have a broad overlook of Maui island and the valley in west Maui.

Reviewed by: happa

I took a taxi to the Careho Shopping Center, borrowed a sweat suit at the office, and put it on over the swimsuit I was wearing. Then, I got back into the waiting taxi and headed to Careho Bay, where the boat was docked. There were only my partner and me, the only Japanese people there. I felt anxious, but looking at the people around me, I realized it would be fine.

Once we got out to sea, we all took the noodles, which are floating devices, and gradually lowered them from under our arms down to our ankles while putting on our snorkels, waiting for the manta rays to come close to the lights. It felt like being a diver inside an aquarium. The manta rays came so close to my face and body; it was incredibly impressive. That sensation was moving and thrilling, and it's definitely worth experiencing at least once!

3-Hour Waikiki Deluxe Turtle Snorkel Sail with Lunch - Hawaii Nautical

Highly recommend! Beyond expectations!

Reviewed by: Matt & Melina

My fiancé and I booked this during our 6 day stay in Oahu. I cannot say enough good things about our experience. Jacob picked us up promptly from our hotel in Waikiki right on time and took us to the boat. The entire staff was very friendly and attentive right from the start and the entire way through. They instructed us on the ins and outs of snorkeling and made sure we were comfortable. We snorkeled and saw all the fish and sea turtles our hearts desired within a few feet. It was amazing! Barry hung out in the water with us the entire time indicating different sights and making sure all was safe. After a while we climbed aboard and David had prepared a delicious lunch of Mahi Mahi and chicken wraps, as well as macaroni salad and chips. The drinks were superb as well. After lunch, we set sail for the rest of the trip, viewing Waikiki and Diamond head as well as the rest of the island. The guys offered much advice on local eateries and activities, and answered any questions that we had with genuine interest. It isn't often that I post reviews, but these guys truly made our day, if not our trip. I've never felt so comfortable and impressed by any charter group before. BOOK THIS NOW! You honestly will not regret it. We are thinking about booking another trip with these guys before we leave.

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＞

Awesome! サイコー＼(^o^)／

I participated in the Dolphin University on November 2, 2014. We gathered at a little past 6 AM, so the energy was low, but our chairperson, Julie, was super high-energy and lifted our spirits, making us feel excited. We enjoyed delicious malasadas and then boarded the boat. I got to meet many dolphin instructors and Professor Turtle. I was even able to have a conversation with a dolphin instructor!

We challenged ourselves to see how fast we could go while kayaking, and it was really fun. At one point, Julie said, "It's your tour, so you all have to enjoy it!" I think it's true that if you don't enjoy it, you're missing out. I highly recommend it!

2014/11/2イルカ大学に参加しました。朝6時過ぎに集合とあってテンション低めだったのですが、委員長のジュリが超ハイテンションで持ち上げてくれたのでウキウキ気分に。マラサダも
おいしく頂き、いざ乗船。
イルカ先生もカメ教授もたくさん出会えました。イルカ先生と会話することができたんですよ＼(^o^)／
カヤックに乗りどこまで最速スピードが出せるか挑戦したり、本当に楽しかったです。
途中ジュリが「みなさんのツアーだからみなさんが楽しまなきゃ！」と言っていたとおり、自分が楽しまなきゃソンだと思います。
オススメです！

It was fun. 楽しかった

Reviewed by: Rainbow

Overall, I had a fun time and created great memories. Although I felt a sense of discomfort with the guide, Sue (a Japanese), who spoke in a somewhat intimidating tone and exaggerated stories to satisfy the participants, I was reassured by the local staff who constantly checked on everyone’s condition during snorkeling. We saw several groups of dolphins swimming beneath us (according to Sue, there were more than 50 in a pod, but it seemed exaggerated...), and we observed dolphins jumping and playing up close from the boat. I felt like I managed to chase after a turtle, but the tropical fish in the water were beautiful and breathtaking.

I hadn’t put my face in the water for over 15 years and was worried, but thanks to the wetsuit, I wasn’t cold, and the water felt warm and pleasant.

The hamburger for lunch was clearly made from the cheapest frozen meat and bread, but perhaps because I was hungry and surrounded by stunning scenery on the boat, it tasted good.

I would like to try this again.

全体的に楽しく思い出が作れました。敬語が喋れないのか、ガイドのスーさん(日本人）の威圧的な喋り口調の日本語と、「皆さんラッキーですね、こんな事滅多に無いんですよ」と参加者を満足させるための誇張した話にずっと違和感を感じていたものの、現地スタッフはスノーケリング中、常に参加者の状態を気遣っていて安心しました。イルカは何匹かの群が自分たちの下を通り（スーさん曰く50匹以上の群れだったそうですが、誇張されてたような…）、船上では飛び跳ねたり遊んでるイルカを間近で観察しました。亀は頑張って追いかけて見れた感じでしたが、海水の中はトロピカルフィッシュが美しく感動的でした。
15年以上水に顔をつけたことがなく心配していたものの、スウェットスーツのおかげで寒くなく、水の中は暖かくて気持ち良かったです。
昼食のハンバーガーは、ハッキリ言って明らかに一番安い冷凍肉とパンをBBQしたものでしたが、お腹が減っていたのと絶景に囲まれた船上で食べたからか、美味しかったです。

またチャレンジしたいと思います。

Luxury Ko Olina Sunset Cruise with Snorkeling, Dinner Buffet & Premium Cocktails - Ocean Joy Cruises

A must do!

Reviewed by: Sang Park

We came here on our honeymoon and we had an awesome experience with Ocean Joy Cruises. We scheduled for the shuttle service and the bus was right on time to pick us up from our hotel. There was a little traffic to Ko-Olina but wasn't too bad. The bus driver kindly guided us through the entire ride and it was comfortable. The cruise staff were friendly and generous. They provided everyone with ginger pills to avoid motion sickness. Snorkeling was great too. Too bad that we didn't get to see the turtles but it was fun! The food wasn't fancy or anything but it was delicious and that first sip of an icy cold beer after snorkeling was heavenly. While we were having dinner, we got to see the group of dolphins swimming right next to our cruise which was phenomenal. The sunset, of course, it was breathtaking moment. My husband and I really enjoyed the cruise and we will definitely come back with our family in the future.

Luxury Ko Olina Sunset Cruise with Snorkeling, Dinner Buffet & Premium Cocktails - Ocean Joy Cruises

trust me to try this experience

Reviewed by: han lee

first of all, people working on the boat was awesome, they were very very friendly, especially guy name mason was funny and very active and he was there every moment when we needed him
the boat was not too big and luckily we only had less than twenty people so a lot of room normally around forty people on the board. I suggest to take a pill before you go on because it really help you not to through up.
snorkeling was fun experience and they teach you everything you need to know and fun part was when you go into the water they feed the fish so the fish can come to you I'm talking about a lot of fish and it was so amazing and beautiful when can I get to see that many of fish.
after snorkeling it's cold right but this boat has warm water so you can take salt water out in warm water, that was pretty good idea for help from cold and windy weather.
the boat had every drink you could think of like from hot coffee to cold soda to alcohol beverage and people working on the boat took turn to be a bartender and they actually make good tasty drinks but just let you know that alcohol is only served after snorkeling.
I gotta talk and tell you about the food. it's most delicious Hawaiian pork bbq burger and charcoal grilled chicken was so so good and fresh Hawaiian fruits was one of my favorite
during the diner time captain called out to come out and we went out and guess what?!! dolphins were swimming by, not just one couple of Dolphins
it was my first time watching Dolphins swimming around and that was amazing time.
captain was very generous he didn't want us to miss every moment so he was keep looking out and around the ocean if anything it might be interesting for us.
overall this was the best experience for us and I truly and definitely recommend to try, love to go on the board and meet them again.

3-Hour Ko Olina Snorkel Cruise & Dolphin Watching Tour with Deli Lunch & Drinks

Nice afternoon out on the catamaran

Reviewed by: Mary Butler

We took the afternoon dolphin watch cruise that set sail at 1pm. Saw some sea turtles and a dolphin pod from afar. The snorkelling was nothing great...lots of reef fishes and mostly dead coral. Being prone to motion sickness, I was elated at how wonderfully stable the catamaran was, and for once I actually enjoyed sailing instead of spending half my time being sick over the rails. In spite of my disappointment at not seeing dolphins up close, the afternoon turned out to be a really pleasant cruise along the beautiful Ko Olina coastline. The staff were attentive and friendly. My 3 year son threw a fit when I got him out of the choppy waters during the snorkelling session. Kudos to the staff who successfully quietened him down by giving him bread to feed the fishes from the back of the ship. Food was great. Pulled pork sandwiches, chips and fruit salad were delicious. All in all, a lovely afternoon.
