I took a taxi to Hilton Hawaiian Village, which was fine, but I was nervous because I didn't know where the meeting place was...
I think it would be reassuring to have prior information like, "After passing through the hotel entrance, there will be a boat docked towards the beach."
On the 10:00 trip, even at a depth of 30 meters, it was bright, and I could see many fish, which was a lot of fun! I was hoping to see a honu (sea turtle), but unfortunately, that didn't happen... Since my elderly mother was with me, we didn't do any marine activities, but it was great to be able to explore underwater in a submarine, which is something you can't easily experience in Japan.
ヒルトンハワイアンビレッジまでタクシーで向かったのはいいのですが…
集合場所がわからずドキドキしました。。
「ホテルの入り口を抜けて、ビーチに向かった所に船が停まっている」
などの事前案内があったら安心だと思う。
10:00の便で、海底30mでも明るく
たくさんの魚が見れてとても楽しかった♪
ホヌに会えるのを願ってましたが…叶わず。。
高齢の母も一緒だったので、マリンアクティビティは一切なかったので、日本ではなかなか体験できない潜水艦で、水中散策ができたのでよかったです。

On October 25, the participants of Dolphin Junior High did not meet the required number, so they transferred to Dolphin University.
Before boarding the boat, I encountered a honu (sea turtle) right by the pier. I couldn't take a photo because my camera was still in the dry bag.
Shortly after departure, I encountered a Hawaiian monk seal. It popped its head up above the surface, and I was able to capture it perfectly on camera. The day before, I also encountered one while experiencing SUP at Ala Moana Beach, and according to our guide Hayato, it's very rare for short-term travelers to see wild Hawaiian monk seals two days in a row, so I was very lucky!
Next, we had our first snorkeling session in the shallow waters. I was able to capture the honu coming up for air and diving down to the seabed. This snorkeling in the shallow waters was a great warm-up.
While searching for dolphins to swim with, I saw some spinner dolphins splashing around from the boat.
Finally, the main event: snorkeling with dolphins. I heard that we encountered many spotted dolphins, but the weather was so nice that there were a lot of light curtains, making it hard to see them with the naked eye. However, since other participants seemed to see them, I trusted that the action camera had captured it and returned to the boat. When I checked back at the hotel, I was relieved to find that it had been recorded perfectly.
On the way back to the harbor, many dolphins swam alongside the boat, making for a truly enjoyable experience.
I am grateful for the kind assistance from our guide Hayato.

10月25日、イルカ中学参加者が規定数に満たず、イルカ大学に編入しました。
最初船に乗る前、桟橋からすぐのところでホヌに遭遇。カメラをドライバッグに入れたままだったので撮影出来ずでした。
出航後すぐにハワイアンモンクシールに遭遇。
海面にひょっこり顔を出してくれてバッチリカメラに収録。
前日アラモアナビーチでSUP体験時にも遭遇しガイドのハヤトくんが言うには、2日連続で野生のハワイアンモンクシールに遭遇した短期旅行者は滅多にいないらしくてとてもラッキー!
次に浅瀬で最初のシュノーケリング。
ホヌが息継ぎし海底まで潜って行く様子を収録出来ました。
この浅瀬でのシュノーケリングは良い準備運動になりましたね。
次に一緒に泳ぐイルカを探す途中、船上からハシナガイルカがバシャバシャしている様子が見れました。
いよいよメインイベント、イルカと一緒にシュノーケリング。
たくさんのマダライルカに遭遇したらしいですが、天気が良すぎて光のカーテン多めで肉眼では確認することが出来ず。でも他の参加者は見れた模様なのでアクションカメラに収録出来ている事を信じて船に戻りました。
ホテルに帰って確認してところバッチリ収録出来てたので良かったー。
最後ハーバーまで戻る途中、たくさんのイルカが船と一緒に泳いでくれてホント楽しい体験ができました。
ガイドのハヤトくんがとても親切に対応してくれて感謝です。

Most of the time it was snorkeling in the water where you can see most of the tiny fishes swimming around. I saw a turtle far away when I came on the boat but still was hard to see (even in the camera). Just saw a turtle do a back flip from a 500 meter distance from our boat. To see it very close or in the water while snorkeling, I think it is mostly luck but had a good time with other people on the boat with drinks and snacks too!

Our experiences were great. First we had a chance to do the underwater scooter and give food to our loving fishes. Camera man constantly took pictures of us which we received it later through purchasing it. We did not see turtles directly but definitely it was an experience we would be doing again. There were two teams in the boat where one team goes for the underwater scooter and another goes for snorkeling under the guidance of our team. Overall, the pictures made it another unforgettable experience so make sure to purchase the pictures when the guide asks you if you want the pictures or not. It was sent through email so fast and quick.

I thought I would have to join a half-day tour to see sea turtles, but I found a tour in the Waikiki area that only took about 2 to 3 hours, and it was really great.
The instructor continuously pointed out where the sea turtles were while we were snorkeling, so it was easy to follow along and see them! I was very happy to swim with several sea turtles. I plan to request this tour again when I go back to Hawaii.
半日かけたツアーに参加しないとウミガメには会えないかなと思っていたのですが、ワイキキ界隈で2、3時間程度で催行してくれるツアーでとても良かったです。
インストラクターの方が、ウミガメいる場所を随時教えてくれながらのシュノーケリングだった為、ついていけば会える!が叶えられました。何匹ものウミガメと、一緒に泳げたのがとても嬉しかったです。またハワイに行ったらお願いしようと思います。

I thought I would be able to swim closely with a lot of dolphins, but while I was able to see them, it felt more like just seeing dolphins rather than swimming with them. Since they are wild animals, timing might play a role as well... For those who are prone to motion sickness, I think taking motion sickness medication is a must. Even after taking it, we still felt nauseous.

イルカを見る事はできましたが、これがイルカと泳ぐと言うのかな??という感じでした。

A trip to Hawaii with my 92-year-old mother and three generations
I was looking forward to whale watching, but my mother said she didn't want to go, possibly due to fatigue, so I requested to change it to the next day, and they were very accommodating.
On the way to the harbor, we saw a rainbow, which made me feel like we would meet the whales.
After setting sail, they met our expectations, and we saw them many times.
Watching them swim gracefully in the waters of Waikiki made me feel the essence of Hawaii.
At the end, we witnessed them spouting water and slapping their large tails on the surface of the sea.
Thank you for the wonderful experience.

It's hard to say whether Waikiki sail is a great experience or not. They called us the night before around 8:00 p.m. letting us know that they quite doing the afternoon tours and asked if we could come earlier. Unfortunately we had a hard to get breakfast reservation and with less than 24 hours notice, we could't change it even if we wanted to. With that said, Waikiki sail was great at finding a different company that could take us which was awesome. Despite my frustration, I had to at least give them an okay rating for that. We sailed with Moana adventures and had a great time so if Waikiki sails experience is similar and they don't tell you the night before that a change has been made, they are probably great.

A job well done from beginning to end! Mahalos!

Night snorkeling with the manta rays was incredible! We had a wonderful show from six different rays the entire time we were in the water. The guides were all very friendly and helpful. They assist with wetsuits before you board, then assist with masks onboard, and assist with floating noodles and less-experienced swimmers while in the water.
A word of warning - the water (and subsequently, the boat) were rolling intensely once we left the dock. And once you leave the dock, there is nowhere to go to get away from the rolling. Several individuals succumb to seasickness on our cruise. Not sure if maybe the ocean was just rough on our night, or if this amount of rocking is normal. Either way, I would advise caution if you are sensitive to motion sickness or vertigo.

Mantas right in front of me!
Not just one, but two mantas approaching from both sides, gracefully rotating and swimming just below the board I was holding without colliding! When I looked down, I saw a third, fourth... and when I glanced around, there were seven swimming elegantly!!! And one by one, they opened their mouths wide and came towards us!
I was so moved to see such graceful creatures living in the ocean! I’m really, really glad I participated.
This spot is said to be one of the best places in the world to encounter mantas. That day, there were quite a few mantas, and we were also lucky enough to see dolphins on the way there!
On the return boat, we were served warm drinks. I had mint tea, which was refreshing. I also took a sip of my husband’s hot cocoa, and the sweetness was comforting.
Moana's bright, kind, and humorous talk was enjoyable. I learned a lot about not just mantas, but also the shop and Mauna Kea. I also appreciated the gentle smile of Brian, who always looked out for us.
By the way, regarding the wetsuit, I felt a slight pressure around my stomach, so I opted for one size larger, thinking it might cause seasickness. However, I would recommend getting a size that fits snugly if possible. Once in the water, seawater would enter and exit through the gaps in the suit, and I felt colder than my family who accompanied me. On the boat, I didn’t wear the suit on my upper body, and I was probably so engrossed in the surroundings that I didn’t mind any pressure while underwater! (Later, I learned that with a snug wetsuit, the water that first enters the gap warms up to body temperature, maintaining insulation.)
For those snorkeling for the first time, it’s a good idea to learn how to use the equipment before entering the water. I got too caught up and ended up swallowing seawater. It can be stressful in the dark ocean for beginners. (I think they asked if I was experienced at the beginning.)
After the tour, my daughter and I changed in the car we drove to the site. The parking lot wasn’t too bright, and we covered the windows with our family towels and a spare towel, so we managed to change comfortably in the back seat.
Overall, it was a truly wonderful evening. My family of four was very satisfied, and we are extremely grateful.
(The posted photo is a cropped video taken by Moana from the position where she was pulling the board = the short side of the board. Our family of four held onto the long side of the board, two on each side. I apologize for the automatic cropping when uploading the photo, which didn’t turn out well.)
マンタが目の前に!
1枚だけでなく、左右から互いに近づいてくる2枚のマンタが、私の目の前でぶつかることなく、互いに体をそらして回転し、掴まっているボードにお腹スレスレで泳いで去っていく‼︎視線を下に向けると、3枚目、4枚目…見渡すと7枚は優雅に泳いでいました!!!そして順々に口を大きく開けてこちらに来るではないですか!
海の中をこんなにも優雅に泳いで暮らしている生き物がいるなんて!見たことのない光景に感動しました。参加できて本当に本当に良かったです。
ここのスポットは世界でも有数の、マンタに会える確率が高い場所だそうです。この日はマンタも多めだったのと、往路でイルカにも出会え、とってもラッキーでした♫
帰りのボートでは温かい飲み物を頂きました。私はミントの香りのお茶を頂きスッキリ。夫が飲んでいたホットココアも一口もらいましたが、甘さが体に染み渡ってほっとしました。
モアナさんの明るくて優しくて冗談の入り混じったトークも楽しかったです。マンタに限らず、お店のこと、マウナ・ケアのことなど、色々教わりました。常に私たちのことを気にかけてくれる優しいBrianさんの笑顔にもほっとしました。
ところでウェットスーツですが、お腹辺りにすこーし圧迫感を感じたので、船酔いを引き起こしやすいかもと、1サイズ大きいものにしてもらいましたが、できるなら体にピッタリなサイズの方をおすすめします。水中に入るとスーツの隙間から海水が入っては出て行き、同行した家族が言うより、より寒さを感じましたので。ボート上では上半身はスーツも着ませんし、恐らく水中では圧迫感など気にならないほど周りに夢中になっていたことでしょう!(後で、体にピッタリのウエットスーツの場合、本来はスーツと体の隙間に最初に入った水が体温と同じになり、保温性を保つ、と知りました。)
それからシュノーケリングが初めての方は、海に入る前に使い方をよく教わるといいでしょう。夢中になりすぎて潜りすぎ、口の中に海水が入ることも私はありましたから。初めてだと、暗い海の中で焦りますよね。(最初に経験者かどうか聞かれた気もします。)
ツアー後の着替えは、娘と私は現地まで乗って行った車の中でしました。駐車場が明るすぎることもなく、持って行った家族のバスタオルと予備のバスタオルで車の窓を覆って、後部座席で問題なくできました。
ということで、本当に素敵な夜でした。家族4人とも大満足で、とってもとっても感謝しています。

We did 2 turtle snorkel's while in Hawaii, this one was not really the crews fault that it was not my favorite as the seas were pretty rough that day.
This would be a much better experience if there wasn't as many people on board.
Surprisingly, there were a lot of tourists with little to no experience with swimming or the ocean. Please if you are not experienced with swimming stay on the boat.
We were able to see a couple of tours and because of the non-experienced children on board, the fish were well "fed".
Bumpy ride and fun wave time on the trampoline! My sister and I loved that part of it!
Overall, pretty good experience, never enough time in the water!

After snorkeling, during the cruising, I was a bit worried because my family got seasick, but it felt really nice to sail while enjoying the view of the hotels in Waikiki and Diamond Head with the wind in our faces. Also, the captain, crew, and instructor were really cool.

Everyone should consider going on this trip. It's a lovely trip on a large boat with a crew and captain who really love what they do and love Maui and everything there is there. Maui is magical and having the opportunity to share it with people who truly care about it is such a fantastic experience. Do it!! You will not regret it :)

We experienced this on the day we arrived in Hawaii.
We participated in a tour that lasted about two and a half hours, and we were the only Japanese people there. We took a boat to the location of the submarine, and on the way, we encountered turtles and dolphins.
We moved to the submarine and began our dive. The underwater scenery was very beautiful and had high visibility, with many sunken ships and planes. The interior was cool and comfortable. There were also bags available on the submarine for anyone who felt unwell.
All the explanations were in English, but I didn't think it was very necessary.
We smoothly handed our Veltra voucher to the receptionist.
ハワイ到着日に体験しました。
2時間半程のツアーに参加し日本人は私達だけでした。
潜水艦の場所まで船で行き、そこまで行くのに亀やイルカに出会うことが出来ました。
潜水艦に移動し、潜水。
海の中はとても綺麗で透明度が高く、沈没船・飛行機など沢山沈んでいました。
室内は涼しく快適でした。
気分が悪くなった人用に袋も潜水艦には完備してありました。
全て英語の説明でしたが、あまり必要ではなかったと思います。
ベルトラのバウチャーを持って受付の人にお渡しスムーズに行けました。

This was an amazing adventure for us. Something we would absolutely do again. I would recommend this company over and over again. I love the fact they are natives and a small family owed business . Always support local when I can, over big corporate companies. In doing my research, there is no difference between cage or cage less. The water was beautiful, clear and relatively calm.

This was a great cruise! The team onboard was extremely friendly and engaging! Cocktail election was perfect and appetizers were on point! Although it gives you the choice to book with kids, I would caution taking kids who are under the age only because the group of passengers were clearly there for a good time. Overall great experience

Before departure, I put on a wetsuit that fit my body. They also lend out snorkeling gear, so all you need is a swimsuit and a towel.
While enjoying a wonderful sunset and engaging conversations, we headed to the manta ray spot. There were other boats gathered there, but the number of mantas was beyond my imagination, coming so close that it felt like they were about to bump into us, spinning around during their plankton feeding time. It was truly a moving experience.
The illuminated board had handles, and the guide pulled it to the spot, so there was no need to swim, making it suitable for those who aren't confident in their swimming abilities. Moana, our Japanese guide, kept us entertained with her lively talk. The captain spoke English, but his thoughtfulness made for a reassuring boat trip.
The encounter rate with mantas is over 90%, so the satisfaction level is very high. I highly recommend it!
出発前に体に合わせたウエットスーツを着て乗船。
シュノーケルグッズも貸し出してくれるので、水着とタオルだけでオッケー
素晴らしい夕陽を見ながら、楽しい会話と共にマンタのスポットへ。
そこには他の船も集まってましたが、想像以上の数のマンタがぶつかりそうなくらいまで近くに来て何度も回転しながらプランクトンのお食事タイム。
ほんと感動のひとときでした。
照明のついたボードには、持ち手もついていて、ガイドさんが引っ張ってスポットまで連れて行ってくれるので、泳ぐ必要はなくて泳ぎに自信がない人でも大丈夫
日本語ガイドのモアナさんも軽快なトークで楽しませてくれます。キャプテンは英語ですが、気遣いが伝わってきて安心の船旅でした。
マンタとの遭遇率は90%以上とのこと、満足感はとても高いです。おすすめします!
