ホエールウォッチ 早朝からサンセットまで選べる時間帯!スナック付き&アルコール含むドリンク購入可<ワイキキ発/12/15~4/15>

It's the best! 最高しかない

Reviewed by: mi-ko

It's inexpensive, the boat is large and stable, and the staff is not mean. I was told that we wouldn't see any whales in December, but we saw many, and they were very close, clearly showing their bodies and fins, even spouting water—it was truly moving. I think there were about 100 participants, but no Japanese people. Well, the restroom was smelly, but that's unavoidable. The meeting place was a bit hard to find. I've been to Hawaii around 30 times, but this might have been the best experience yet!

お安いし、船も大きくて安定してるし、スタッフも意地悪じゃない。12月は見れないと言われていたクジラもたくさん見れて、何頭もすごく近くで体、ヒレもはっきり、潮まで吹いてくれて感動しかない。100人とか参加してたと思うけど日本人なし。まあ、トイレは臭いけど仕方なし。集合場所は若干わかりにくいかな。ハワイは30回とかは軽く来てるけど、今までで一番よかったかも!

シャークシュノーケリング 海洋専門家がご案内するケージ無しのサメと泳ぐ体験!6名までの少人数制<2時間/ノースショア発>

I guess this is about it. まぁこんなもんかなと

Reviewed by: えむ

It was supposed to be a maximum of six participants, but there were more than six on the day I attended. Also, it was stated to be two hours, but it was less than that. In the water, it felt like we were in for about 40 minutes.

There is a building for check-in, but there were no staff present at the time, which made it uncomfortable to wait alone in an empty area. (There were some people from a nearby cage tour, which added to the confusion.)

You have to hold onto the rope on the side of the boat at all times. The waves were high, and if you accidentally let go, you would get scolded for safety reasons. While waiting with the rope, one by one, we were called by the guide, and we had to swim from the rope to where the guide was. However, it felt pointless to dive when the sharks were not around during the count. There were sandbar sharks far away, and that day there were hammerheads and blacktips, but no tiger sharks. Since it’s nature, that’s understandable, but honestly, the sharks were farther away than I expected, and the water was a bit murky, so I wished I could see them up close.

When the boat's engine revs, the sharks come up a bit. It was okay to bring a GoPro and take pictures. You can rent fins, snorkels, masks, and rash guards. The guide only speaks English, so it can be tough if you don’t understand.

Also, please note that there is no place to change. The nearby restroom is for women, but there are no private stalls. Around noon, a man (possibly a homeless person?) came out of the women's restroom. There was also a dog that seemed to belong to him, and it smelled quite bad, so I quickly changed on the street in the parking lot.

MAX6名とのことですが、参加した日の回は6名以上いました。
また、2時間と記載がありますが2時間無しです。海の中にはいっているのは体感的に40分あるかないかくらいでしょうか。
受付は建物がありますが、スタッフは居ない時間帯で誰も居ないところでポツンと待つのは不安でした。(近くのCageありのツアーの方がいたりしてちょっと混乱)
常に船の側面にある紐をつかんでいないといけません。波が高く、煽られてうっかり手が離れてしまったりしたら怒られます。(安全面のため)
紐を持って待って居ると一人ずつガイドに呼ばれたら、紐からガイドがいるところまで泳いで、ガイドのカウントで潜りますが、サメが居ないところでそのカウントで潜らせられても何も…という感じでした。下の遠くの方にサンドバーシャークがわらわら居る感じで、その日はハンマーとブラックチップも居ましたが、タイガーは居ませんでした。自然相手なのでそこは仕方ないですが、思っているより全体的にサメが遠かった+白濁り気味でしたのでもう少し近くで見たかったというのが本音。
船のエンジンをふかすとサメが少し浮上してきます。
GoPro持っていって撮ることはOKでした。
フィン・シュノーケル・マスク・ラッシュガードは借りれます。
ガイドの方は英語対応になりますので理解出来ないと厳しいです。
また着替える場所がありませんのでご注意ください。
近くのトイレは女性側ですが個室扉がありません。
また昼頃ですが男性(路上生活者でしょうか?)が、女子トイレの中から出てきました。
またその方が飼っていると思われる犬がいて獣臭もすごかったですので、私は駐車場の路上でささっと着替えました。

I came to Hawaii to see whales. When I went to Hokkaido, I also stared intently at the ocean surface searching for whales. In Hawaii, I also gazed at the sea, looking for them. (The captain tried various things like bananas and shrimp.) But unfortunately!! This time it didn't work out!! Next time, for sure!

Aloha! Leo. Thank you for participating in Manta University. I apologize for the delay in my response since the day of the event. I’m sorry that there were fewer mantas than expected on the tour day, and I regret that it did not meet your expectations. If you have the opportunity to visit Hawaii again, we would be delighted if you could join us for Dolphin University on the Big Island or Oahu to see wild dolphins. All of our crew sincerely looks forward to your participation again. Mahalo nui and a hui hou!

アロハ! レオさま。マンタ大学に参加していただき、ありがとうございました。参加日から時間が経っての返信に関してお詫び申しあげます。ツアー当日はレオさまの期待を下回る頭数のマンタしか集まらず残念な思いをさせてしまい申し訳ございませんでした。またハワイにいらっしゃる機会には、ぜひ、野生のイルカを見にハワイ島もしくはオアフ島のイルカ大学へ参加していただけたら幸いです。クルー一同、またのご参加を心よりお待ちしております。Mahalo nui and a hui hou!

Awesome!

Reviewed by: Lori H.

We had a fully handicap person with us and the crew was great. They lifted her, in her electric wheelchair, onto the boat. She had room to move around the boat with ease. The bathrooms were not accessible but that was ok. The crew kept checking on her and made sure she was comfortable. It was a good experience, something that she wouldn't normally have been able to do. We were able to snorkel (not her), and didn't have to worry about her not being comfortable. We did not see any turtles, but got to see a small whale.

Molokini Crater & Turtle Arches Snorkeling Tour & Snuba Dive - Aqua Adventures

Hawaii is amazing, the company is average

Reviewed by: Sandy Cheeks

My total cost for this excursion was $242.30. It was not worth that price. The crew was sarcastic and snappy. They did lighten up as the morning went on, but my first impression stayed. Fortunately I’m a seasoned swimmer and snorkeling/snuba is easy, so I didn’t require any assistance. Lastly, it’s a big money grab without much service in return. I understand they are a business, but I cannot understand why they can’t pay their employees? Why do they guilt trip you into having to tip every chance they get? Even the emails leading up to it state the expected gratuity. TL:DR Molokini crater is amazing - you should go! Unless you’re dying to try snuba, then go with a different company and have fun.

Reviewed by: MASSAN

I encountered whales three times while moving to different locations. It was very lucky!! However, even though I parked my car in the designated parking lot, I returned to find a no-parking ticket and a fine of $18!! Is this a targeted attack on rental cars? I wonder if others experienced the same. If so, they should explain in advance that there are fees for public parking.

クジラは場所を変えて移動し3回遭遇しました。大変ラッキーでした!! 但し、指定された駐車場に車を入れたのに、戻ると駐車禁止と罰金18$も取られた!!レンタカー狙い打ちか? 他の方も同じだろうか? ならば事前に公共駐車場の料金かかる事を説明すべきだ。

Reviewed by: takumi

I was surprised to see manta rays so close. I saw several of them, and their graceful movements as they surfaced and spun around to eat were beautiful and magical. It felt like I was in a dream world, and I could have watched them forever.

The encounter rate with manta rays seems to vary by day, so I was lucky. This is my best memory from the Big Island.

I was comfortable since I was used to swimming and snorkeling, but for those who aren't confident in their stamina, it might be challenging after about 30 minutes.

マンタをこんな近くで見れるんだとびっくりでした。何匹も見れたし、何回も浮上してすぐそばで回転して餌を食べる姿は綺麗で幻想的。なんか夢の国にいるようでずっと見ていたかったぐらい。

A valuable experience 貴重な体験

Reviewed by: yui

I had booked a shark tour, but it was suddenly canceled, and instead, I joined a submarine tour, which turned out to be a great decision.

Getting the chance to go inside a submarine is something you don't usually experience in life, and it felt like being in a moving aquarium, full of excitement and thrill. Although I didn't get to see turtles or whales, there were impressive sights like a sunken airplane.

The explanations were in English, and while I couldn't fully understand them, the atmosphere was still enjoyable. The ferry ride to the location was also quite an experience due to the strong winds.

I highly recommend this tour as it's enjoyable for everyone, from children to the elderly.

シャークツアー予約してましたが、急遽欠航になり代わりに入れた潜水艦ツアーでしたが大正解でした。
潜水艦に入る機会って普通に生きてても人生でないので、まるで動く水族館のような雰囲気とスリルを味わえました。

The phone call about the change was made the evening before... 前日夕方に変更の電話が・・・

Reviewed by: Dolphin

I booked a trip with Dolphin University, but I received a call the evening before saying that they couldn't secure my reservation because they were busy. They asked if I could change my pickup time from 5:30 PM to 11:00 AM. Since I had plans in the afternoon, I inquired about cancellation fees, and the response was vague, saying, "It's not decided yet." I was left waiting for a call without knowing when it would come, and when I called back internationally, they told me to switch to Dolphin Junior High. I was informed that the boat would not have a slide and that swimming with dolphins would be different.

Since I had a 4-year-old and a 6-year-old with me, I was anxious about how the changes would affect us, but they said, "The children's feelings will determine if they can swim."

When we actually went, the boat was quite small, and the waves were high, making it impossible for the kids to swim with the dolphins, so we ended up watching from the boat. Additionally, the dolphins were in the middle of raising their young and swam away. (This is understandable, but the dolphin swim at Dolphin University should have ended by the end of October.)

Fortunately, the child who is prone to seasickness did not get sick, but it was disappointing that the 4-year-old couldn't enjoy it much due to the small boat.

Also, the instructions for entering the water were all in English, possibly because our family was the only Japanese group, which made me anxious as I had to act as an interpreter.

I wouldn't recommend this tour for those who are not used to such experiences or who are not comfortable with sudden changes. Personally, I was satisfied to see the dorsal fins of the dolphins and to go snorkeling, but I can't help but wonder how it would have been at Dolphin University. Given the size of the boat and the scale of the tour, I felt the price was high (even considering the weak yen).

イルカ大学を予約しましたが、前日夕方に電話があり、遊んでいたために取れなかったため、折り返すと、5時半ピックアップではなく、11時のものに変更できないかという打診でした。午後の予定を入れていたため、キャンセル料がかかるのかなど聞くと、「まだ決定したわけではないから」と歯切れの悪い返事。また、電話すると言われていつ頃かもわからない電話を待ち、また取れずにこちらから国際電話で再度折り返すと、「イルカ中学に変更してください。」と。スライダーがない船になることと、イルカと泳げるという点が異なると言われました。
4歳と6歳が一緒だったので、変更がどうなるか不安でしたが、「お子様の気持ち次第で泳げます」と。
実際行くと、かなり小さなボートで波がかなり高い場所でイルカと泳ぐのは子供は無理そうだったため、船から見学した。また、イルカは子育て中であり、逃げてしまった。(これは仕方ないが、そもそもイルカ大学のドルフィンスイムは10月末で終わっていたはず)
酔いやすい子供が酔わなかったのは幸いだったが、船も小さく、4歳はあまり楽しめていなかったのが残念だった。
また、入水時の説明が、日本人が私達家族だけだったからか、全て英語で、私が通訳のように説明しなければならなかったのが不安だった。
このようなツアーに慣れていない方や、突然の変更に慣れない方にはおすすめしません。
個人的にはイルカの背鰭が見学できて、シュノーケリングができて満足しましたが、イルカ大学だったらどうだったのか・・・と考えてしまいます。また、この内容(ボートの大きさやツアー規模)だとしたらダイビングでもなくこの値段はお高く感じました。(円安を考慮しても)

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>

I had a great time! とても楽しめました!

Reviewed by: SIENA

I encountered a pod of dolphins twice and went into the sea. Unfortunately, during the first encounter, I couldn't recognize the dolphins, but during the second, I was able to see them properly. The guide was kind and took care of me as I was struggling due to my lack of stamina. I was also happy that the person I went with checked on me while I was resting and tired. It's a shame I didn't have the energy to enjoy the last snorkeling session, but I had a great time overall.

I will work on building my stamina before the next time I participate.

2回、イルカの群れに遭遇し海へ入ったのですが、
1回目の時は残念ながらイルカを認識できなかったのですが、
2回目の時には、きちんと見ることができました。
ガイドさんが親切で、体力不足でアップアップしていた私を気にかけてくださいました。
一緒に行った方も、疲れて休んでいる私に声をかけてくれて嬉しかったです。
最後のシュノーケリングを楽しむ体力がなかったことは残念でしたが、
充分に楽しむことができました。

次に参加するときまでに体力作りに励みます。

Aloha! Siena. Thank you for participating in the Dolphin Middle School this time. We also appreciate the five stars. I'm glad you were able to see dolphins underwater on your second visit! The open ocean can be challenging with waves and strong currents, which can take a lot of energy to swim through... Still, I’m very happy to hear that you enjoyed the tour. Please join us again the next time you come to Hawaii. Let's enjoy snorkeling next time! All of us on the crew are looking forward to your next participation. Mahalo nui and a hui hou!

アロハ! SIENAさま。この度はイルカ中学に参加していただき、ありがとうございました。また五つ星にも感謝いたします。2回目で水中でイルカを見ることができて良かったです!! 外洋は波があったり潮が強かったり、と泳ぐのに体力を使いますよね。。。それでもツアーを楽しんでいただいたとの事、とっても嬉しく思います。次回ハワイにいらっしゃるときは、またご参加くださいね。次回はシュノーケリングも楽しみましょうね! クルー一同、SIENAさまのまたのご参加を心よりお待ちしております。Mahalo nui and a hui hou!

I saw dolphins! イルカみれました!

Reviewed by: にこ

I was able to see dolphins, and the staff were very nice, which made it enjoyable. However, the dolphins were far away. In the past, I could swim closer to them. I think it's unavoidable due to stricter laws, but it was a bit disappointing.

イルカも見れたし、スタッフさんもとても良くしてくださり楽しかったのですが、イルカはみられましたが遠かったです。以前はもっと近くで泳げたのですが。法律が厳しくなったので仕方ないのだと思いますが、少し残念でした。

Aloha! Niko. Thank you for participating in the Dolphin Middle School program. Since October 2021, we have been unable to swim near the spotted dolphins, so we have started looking for dolphins like the spinner dolphins that we can swim with offshore. We sincerely apologize that the dolphin swim on the day of the tour did not meet your expectations. Depending on the sea conditions and the dolphins' behavior, there may be cases where they come closer, so we would be grateful if you could join us again in the future. All of us on the crew are looking forward to seeing you again. Mahalo nui and A hui hou!

アロハ! にこ様。この度はイルカ中学に参加していただき、ありがとうございました。2021年10月からハシナガイルカの近くで泳ぐことが出来なくなったので、マダライルカなどの沖合で一緒に泳ぐことができるイルカを探すようになりました。ツアー当日のドルフィン・スイムがにこ様のご期待に沿えなかったことを申し訳なく思います。海のコンデションやイルカの状態によっては近くに来てくれるケースもございますので、また機会があればツアーに参加をしていただけると幸いです。にこ様とまたお会いできますよう、クルー一同心よりお待ちしております。Mahalo nui and A hui hou!

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>

Activities departing from Waikiki Beach ワイキキビーチ出発のアクティビティ

Reviewed by: カタマラン

I have previously been on the Mai Tai Catamaran in front of the Sheraton and the Nohok 2 Catamaran in front of Outrigger Beach. This was my first time here. The reception staff and the yacht crew were the friendliest.

Since I stayed at Hilton Hawaiian Village through a free accommodation experience, I was considering either Holokai in front of Outrigger Reef or Pink Sails in front of the Prince Hotel, but I chose this one due to the departure time.

The snorkeling instructions were in English, so I couldn't understand the details. I recommend watching the videos uploaded by Pink Sails. The snorkeling spot had five other yachts from different companies gathered. On the day, it was windy with some waves, and I heard from the crew that the conditions were a bit tough. I didn't see any turtles, but I was able to see quite a few fish. I think such things can happen when dealing with nature.

After snorkeling, we were given bottled water. The free soft drinks refer to this. Sunscreen is available for free. We raised the sails and enjoyed a refreshing cruise off Waikiki for a while before returning to Outrigger Reef.

 今までシェラトン前のマイタイカタマランとアウトリガービーチ前のナホク2カタマランに乗ったことがあります。こちらは初となります。受付スタッフやヨットのクルーの対応は一番フレンドリーでした。
 無料宿泊体験でヒルトンハワイアンビレッジに泊まったので、歩いていけるアウトリガーリーフ前のホロカイかプリンスホテル前のピンクセイルスどちらかにしようかまよったのですが、出航時間の都合でこちらにしました。
 シュノーケルの注意点は英語でしたので細かいことは分かりませんでした。ピンクセイルスに動画がアップされているので、見ることをお勧めします。シュノーケルをする場所は他社のヨット5隻が集まっていました。当日は風が強く波もありクルーから少しハードなコンディションと聞きました。タートルは見れませんでしたが、魚は結構見ることができました。自然相手なのでそういうこともあると思いいます。
 シュノーケルが終わるとペットボトルの水が渡されました。ソフトドリンク無料というのはこのことです。日焼け止めは無料で使えます。帆を上げて、しばらくワイキキ沖をクルージングし爽快な気分を味わえます。そしてアウトリガーリーフ前へ帰港となります。

Tips and suggestions

Since this activity departs from Waikiki Beach, it doesn't take much travel time, making it easy to schedule within a limited stay. I recommend it for snorkeling and cruising.

Tips and suggestions

 ワイキキビーチから出発するアクティビティなので移動時間もかからず、限られた滞在の中でスケジュールが立てやすくシュノーケル、クルージングをできるのでオススメします。

I enjoyed snorkeling in a place with sea turtles. It was quite tiring, but in the second half, we went cruising on a yacht in the waters of Hawaii. It can be quite rocky, so those who are prone to seasickness might want to be careful. It was interesting to see the process of raising the yacht's sails up close.

ウミガメがいる場所でシュノーケリングを楽しめました だいぶ疲れますが 後半はヨットにのってハワイの海をクルージングです 結構揺れるので船に弱い方は気をつけた方が良いかも ヨットの帆をはる作業が間近で見れ面白かったです

It was great! よかったです!

Reviewed by: りこり

I went in with somewhat low expectations, so I was pleasantly surprised by how much I was able to interact with the dolphins!

We experienced it alongside other Japanese groups, and the friendly Japanese staff were always there to explain things, which was very helpful.

Although there was no dolphin show happening during our visit, we had quite a bit of free time. It felt very homey, as there were staff members who spoke broken Japanese and checked in on us while we were exploring!

少し期待値低めで行ったためか、思った以上にイルカに触れることができてよかったです!

私たちは他の日本人グループの方たちと一緒に体験し、気さくな日本人のスタッフの方が常に説明してくださりとても助かりました。

園内はイルカショーもしていないタイミングで時間はかなり持て余しましたが、カタコトで日本語を話す方が散策中も会うと気にかけてくださったりアットホームなところでした!
