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

Snorkel and Snuba

Reviewed by: Rosie Posie

The catamaran is in great shape! The crew was FANTASTIC and very accommodating. They really like their job and appeared to be so happy to be on-board with us. We were very lucky to see Dolphin Pods and giant sea turtles!!

This was my friend's first time to do SNUBA. The instructor named Cameron did an incredible job in encouraging and supporting her through out the entire SNUBA portion of this excursion. She dived about 15 feet below the surface and now she wants to become certified diver because she CANNOT wait to get back down there!

Overall it was a great experience! I would definitely suggest this excursion to everyone who visits Hawaii!

Ko Olina Ocean Adventures Snorkel with Wild Dolphins Rafting Tour [Open Soon]

The Ultimate Dolphin Adventure

Reviewed by: loveoahu13

I wish I can give this tour 100 stars. I highly recommended this tour to anyone all ages and swimming capabilities. I am a non-swimmer and also had trouble in the beginning with the snorkel and mask. The Captain, his assistant and even the photographer were so encouraging and helpful with my nervousness. It took me until the end of our tour to finally get my face in the water. I cannot express how great it felt to be cheered on by not just my family, but the crew as well. I purchased the photos of the activity. They are amazing. Seeing the dolphins swimming all around and my kids and husband right there with them was an amazing experience. I will definitely go back to Ko'olina Ocean Adventures during our next visit. Please don't pass this activity up. You will not regret it.

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

Bella Esperienza

Reviewed by: CLaudia

Abbiamo fatto questa escursione durante il nostro viaggio di nozze ad Honolulu ed alloggiavamo all'Hilton Hawaiian Village.
L'escursione è stata nel complesso molto bella, ma il servizio navetta per portarti dall'hotel al porto dove partiva il catamarano è stato veramente scadente, all'andata non c'era posto per tutti e due ragazze si sono fatte 40 minuti di strada in piedi, al ritorno abbiamo aspettato circa 40 minuti perchè la navetta ha ritardato.
l'escursione invece è stata molto bella, abbiamo fatto 2 immersioni, abbiamo visto 3 tartarughe ma di delifini neanche l'ombra.
A bordo c'è un bel pranzo e i ragazzi sono gentilissimi e carinissimi!

Incredible! 感動的!

Reviewed by: MarinaHaruna

I participated with my sister. The morning malasadas were delicious, and we encountered a lot of dolphins! It seems like we had the highest encounter rate recently, and we spotted several baby dolphins! No matter where we looked, there were dolphins, and when we put our ears in the water, we could hear their sounds—it was like a dream. There were also many large sea turtles, which was fun. If I have the chance to go to Hawaii again, I definitely want to participate! The staff were cheerful and it was enjoyable~!! Thank you! I'm so happy!

姉妹で参加しました。
朝のマラサダも美味しかったし、イルカにもたくさん出会えました♪ここ最近で1番の遭遇率だったみたいで赤ちゃんイルカも何匹も発見しました!左右下どこを見てもイルカがいて海の中に耳をつけると鳴き声が聞こえてきて夢のような時間でした。ウミガメも大きいのがたくさんいて楽しかったです。
またハワイへ行く機会があったら必ず参加したいです!
スタッフの皆さんも陽気で楽しかった~!!
ありがとうございました!幸せ!

Snorkel/Sail Tour

Reviewed by: Chris

Snorkeling - Great to swim with the turtles, however no fish to really see. Provided with snorkel but not fins. maybe worth brining if you want to try and swim deeper and get to the turtles quickly before they return to the bottom. Probably saw 20-25 Turtles.
Sailing - Very cool - Fast & Fun. Saw Dolphins, Flying fish

It was fun! 楽しかった!

Reviewed by: RUNA

I participated alone, and on top of that, I was the only one without transportation, so I drove directly to the boat harbor, which made me quite anxious. The day before the tour, I called to confirm the details of the harbor, and since it was my first time driving overseas and there was a cancellation for the second shuttle, they kindly allowed me to switch from the first to the second shuttle, even though it was the day before!

The tour itself was great; unlike other tours where Japanese participants are often left to local guides partway through, the Japanese staff from Dolphin University stayed with us until the end, which was truly reassuring!

The local staff were super enthusiastic! I had so much fun!

Unfortunately, I didn't get to see any turtles, but I did see dolphins! It was moving!

ひとりでの参加。しかも、私だけ送迎なしで、ボートハーバーに直接車で行くと言うかなり、不安な参加でした。ツアー前日、ハーバーの詳細を確認の為、電話で確認していたら、初めて海外で運転している事や、第二便にキャンセルが出た事もあるので、第二便にしてゆっくり来てもいいですよと、前日にも関わらず、第一便から第二便に変更して下さいました!

ツアー自体も、他のツアーは途中まで日本人がいてもツアー自体は現地の人に丸投げだったりするのが、最後までイルカ大学の日本人スタッフが一緒にいてくれるので、本当に安心!

現地のスタッフ達も、超ノリノリ!
と〜っても楽しんじゃいました!

残念ながら亀には会えませんでしたが、イルカには会えました!

I participated without understanding much English. I went by car, and the parking was free! At the dolphin swim check-in counter, there were Japanese staff who guided us with "Yes, this way! Yes, like this!" The instructor also gave instructions in broken Japanese. It's a shame that the photos are quite expensive >_< We took about five different types of photos, but each one costs $16, so if you want them all... Plus, they also filmed a video, and I want the DVD too... Well, it can't be helped! My son was very satisfied (^_^)

英語が、殆ど分からないで参加しました。車でいきました。駐車場は無料でした!ドルフィンスイムのチェックインカウンターには日本人もいて、「はい、こっち!はい、こうして!」と誘導してくれました。インストラクターも片言ですが、日本語で指示してくれます。写真がやはり高いのが残念>_<5パターン位写真を撮りましたが、一枚16ドルなので、全部となると…しかも、ムービーを撮ってくれているの、DVDも欲しいし…。まぁ、しょうがないですけどね!息子は、大満足していました(^_^)

I had some anxiety about snorkeling, but they encouraged me to try multiple times until I could see the dolphins, which became a truly wonderful memory. During the tour, the program was engaging and not boring at all. Not only did we see the dolphins, but we also enjoyed malasadas and lunch, and while snorkeling at spots other than where the dolphins were, I was really moved by the many tropical fish and turtles I encountered!

シュノーケルに不安もありましたが、イルカが見れるまで何度もトライしてくれて、本当にいい思い出になりました。ツアーの最中、飽きさせないプログラムで、イルカだけでなく、マラサダやランチ食べたり、イルカ以外のスポットでのシュノーケルでは本当に沢山の熱帯魚、かめに出会えて感動でした!

シーライフパーク・ハワイ イルカと触れ合える人気プログラムは選べる3プラン 海の生き物への餌やり体験、イルカやアシカのショーなど充実の園内<送迎付きプランあり>

I had a great time interacting with the dolphins. イルカとの触れ合い楽しかったです

Reviewed by: コト2

I participated at the request of my elementary school child who loves dolphins. The park was an hour away by large bus, but the scenery from the window was wonderful, so I didn't mind the long travel time at all.

During the interaction time with the dolphins, there was a Japanese instructor assigned to each group who provided careful explanations, allowing us to enjoy the experience with peace of mind. We got to see the cute dolphins up close, pet them, and shake hands. My child, as well as I, who was just accompanying them, were very satisfied.

One thing that concerned me was that at the start of the program's pre-explanation, we were suddenly asked to sign a liability waiver (essentially stating that the park is not responsible for any accidents, and that insurance is also waived, etc.). It would be appreciated if we could be informed in advance (at the time of booking) if a signature on the liability waiver is required. I think some people might have reservations about this, but at the same time, we couldn't participate without signing it...

Aside from that point, it was a satisfying program.

イルカが大好きな小学生の子供のリクエストで参加しました。
パークまで大型バスで1時間と長い距離でしたが、途中の車窓が素晴らしく、時間の長さはまったく気になりませんでした。

イルカとの触れ合いの時間は、グループに一人、日本人のインストラクターの方がついて丁寧な説明をしてくださるので安心して楽しむことができました。かわいいイルカを間近で見て、なでなでしたり、握手をしたり、子供はもちろんのこと、付き添い気分だった私も大満足でした。

一点気になったのは、プログラムの事前説明開始時に突然、保険免責の書類(要は何か事故があってもパークには責任はありません、保険も免責になります云々・・)に同意の署名を求められたことです。保険免責の同意書に署名が必要な場合は、事前に(予約時に)周知しておいていただけたらありがたいです。それに抵抗がある方もいらっしゃると思いますし、かと言って、それに署名をしないことには参加させてもらえないのですし・・・。

その点以外は満足できるプログラムでした。

Reply from activity provider

Thank you very much for participating in the activity. We are glad that you enjoyed interacting with the dolphins. We sincerely apologize for the lack of guidance regarding the waiver. We had requested participants to fill it out as a condition of understanding at the time of booking. Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback after your return home.

この度はアクティビティへご参加いただき、誠にありがとうございました。お客様にイルカとのふれあいを楽しめていただけたこと、幸いです。免責同意書の弊社の案内不足に関しては、大変申し訳ございませんでした。予約時にご理解をいただけるよう参加制限として記入していただきました。ご帰国後の貴重なお時間を割いてのご投稿、誠にありがとうございました。

Overall, it is geared towards young people, but I had a great time. 全体的に若い人向けですが楽しかったです

Reviewed by: namiko

I attended with my fiancé, who is in his 30s, as we are about to get married soon.

The voucher instructed us to call Dolphin University as soon as we arrived in Hawaii, so I made the call. After being asked for our names, date, and where we made the reservation, we had to wait quite a while, which made me anxious about whether our reservation was actually confirmed.

However, we were indeed booked and were able to participate without any issues. Most of the participants seemed to be in their 20s. There was a lively announcement on the bus as well.

We were able to see dolphins, turtles, and tropical fish. In particular, we got to see the turtles and tropical fish quite closely. I brought a waterproof camera, but when it came time to see the dolphins, I felt a bit uneasy and went into the water without it. In hindsight, I wish I had taken some photos.

We were able to meet the dolphins and turtles without much swimming, but I got tired from the marine sports and ended up just watching. Even just watching was enjoyable.

The photos taken by a professional photographer were sold on DVD and CD-ROM for about $60, which included everyone from the tour. I considered purchasing just the well-taken photos of us, but since the price was somewhat high and there were strangers in the pictures, I decided against it. It would have been nice if they offered individual photo sales.

It was a day with very little wind, and we were able to meet the dolphins close to the shore, but there were some people who got seasick, so those who are prone to motion sickness might want to prepare accordingly. Also, even on sunny days with strong sunlight, when you get back on the boat after being in the water, the wind can feel cold, so I think women should either rent a wetsuit ($10) or bring something to cover up.

もうすぐ結婚式を迎える彼(ともに30代)と二人で参加しました。

ハワイについてすぐ、イルカ大学に電話するようにとバウチャーに書いてあったので電話をしたのですが、名前・日付・どこで予約をしたのか等を聞かれたあとに結構待たされ、本当に予約できているのか不安になる電話対応でした…。

実際には予約できていて、きちんと参加できました。
参加者は20代が中心のようでした。
バスの中でも軽快な案内がありました。

イルカもカメも熱帯魚も見ることができました。
特にカメと熱帯魚は、かなり近くで見ることができました。
防水カメラを持って行ったのですが、イルカを見るときには多少の不安もあって持たずに海へ入りました。しかし、やっぱり撮影しておけば良かったかな。

イルカにもカメにも、あまり泳がずに会うことができましたが、マリンスポーツは疲れてしまい、見ているだけになってしまいました。
見ているだけでも楽しかったです。

プロのカメラマンが撮影した写真は、DVDとCD-ROMでの販売で、ツアーで一緒になった人全員分込みで60ドルだったかな…。
よく撮れた自分たちの写真だけ、とかなら購入を検討したのですが、お値段もそこそこするし、見ず知らずの人が写っていても…ということで購入しませんでした。
個別の写真販売があったら良いのになぁ。

風もほとんどなく、岸から近い場所ですぐにイルカと会えた日だったのですが船酔いしている人もいたので、酔い止めが必要な人は用意した方がよいかもしれません。
また、晴れて日差しが強い日でも、海から上がって船が動くと風が冷たく感じるので、女性はウェットスーツ(10ドル)を借りるか、羽織るものを持って行った方がよいと思います。

3-Hour West Coast Snorkel Cruise & Marine Life Safari by Dolphin Excursions

Amazing!!

Reviewed by: salejo

Mandy & Ali were great guides during the entire excursion. We arrived at our destination to pick our food options and grab our snorkeling gear. No restroom on the boat so please go before getting on the boat! You can bring your own drink & snack on the boat since lunch won't be til afterwards. We swam w/ spinner dolphins at our 1st spot. It was so amazing to see the baby dolphins! We explored the reef at our 2nd spot, which had so many different kinds of fishes. Ali swam to us w/ a starfish & other things for pictures & even explained to us what we were holding. After this, they took us out to see the spotted dolphins (Hawaiian name "kiko"). There were sooo many of them riding our waves, swimming under the boat, & flipping in the air. It was so amazing to watch. They explained they were hunting & they hardly see these dolphins. Afterwards, you go back to eat lunch then head back to your hotel. This was the highlight of my trip & I plan to do this again when I come back!

I enrolled in Dolphin University on August 29! The sky was clear and blue, the sea was a transparent emerald blue, and I was able to swim with dolphins and sea turtles along with many other participants from my group, ohana♪ It's only at Dolphin University that I could have such a fun time!! I'm also grateful to Shanti and the staff who guided us. This was an activity I would love to participate in again when I visit Hawaii☆

It's a shame that we ran out of time and had to cut back on some planned activities, but I will definitely try again!!

North Shore Shark Adventures - Oahu Cage Diving Tour with Waikiki Transportation

Without a doubt, the best thing I did all week.

Reviewed by: Rob R

When my friend asked me to do this with him, I was a bit hesitant. Not knowing what to expect, my imagination relived several scenes in "Jaws". After doing some research and coming to the realization that North Shore does this on a daily basis without people loosing limbs, I agreed. It turned out to be an absolutely phenomenal experience. We arranged for the hotel pickup and once in the van, took the 45 minute ride to the North Shore area of Oahu. Once at the marina, it's about a 20-30 minute ride out to the cage. The Captain went over all the safety instructions thoroughly and describes what types of sharks we would be seeing. His shark lecture was very informative and wasn't stumped when questions were asked. Once at the site, the cage is secured to the side of the boat and after the 8-10 passengers get in, the cage is allowed to float away about 20 feet. Observing the sharks was a thing of beauty and simply can't be described in words. I would do this again in a heartbeat.

Four Winds Afternoon Snorkel Cruise & Turtle Watching Tour with Taco Bar Lunch

Afternoon snorkel WILL be Coral Gardens

Reviewed by: Michele

Correction: There have only been TWO afternoon snorkels in YEARS to Molokini. Due to the winds, they don't go out there in the afternoon. Coral Gardens is in a very windy location. Be prepared to be bopped up and down. A LOT. A much better location where you can see so many more different varieties of fish, and it won't cost you a dime, is Honokahua Bay. Northwest area. The coral is breathtaking, many many more beautiful colored fish to see. Turtles are there so you can snorkel with them as well.

If we got to do-over, our group voted to snorkel on our own in Honokahua Bay. The "glassbottom" portion of the catamaran was closed, so forget it. The lunch they cooked was awesome! But you can get an awesome lunch at any restaurant,right?

Skip the Snuba. Waste of money.

Not impressed with the views from this harbor. Pick a snorkel that departs from the northwest for better island views.

overall great experience

Reviewed by: Joanne

Great tour and only gave four stars instead of 5 because we didnt see any dolphins under the water when we got in, we only saw them from afar. Austin, our guide explained it was most likely due to the time of year when the young are born and the dolphins were being overprotective. The staff were fantastic and very helpful throughout the whole tour. Even though we didnt see the dolphins in the water, we were not disappointed as the experience of seeing them in their environment jumping out of the water was awesome in itself. The staff were very apologetic at the dolphins non compliance. It wasnt their fault though, you cant make the dolphins do things they dont want to do!I would highly recommend going

モロキニ島シュノーケリングクルーズ スヌーバ体験付きプランあり<英語ガイド/朝・昼食>

It's a bit difficult for children. 子どもにはちょっと難しい

Reviewed by: マハロッチ

We were excited to try snuba for the first time as a family of five, but the boat rocked quite a bit, and one of the kids ended up with severe seasickness, so we couldn't really enjoy it in the end.

Both my husband and I can speak some English, so we thought we would be fine without a Japanese guide. However, we couldn't keep up with the explanations and jokes about snuba due to the loud engine noise on the boat, and we regretted that decision.

The visibility of the fish wasn't as good as we had hoped, and we were imagining schools of fish around coral reefs like we saw in the Philippines, so it didn't reach the level of being impressive for us. I think it would have been the same with snuba. (However, there were participants who were amazed, so this is a subjective impression.)

Also, the seawater was quite cold, and we felt very chilly after getting back on the boat, so thick towels and warm clothing are essential.

On a positive note, we finally got to see a sea turtle from the boat towards the end, which was rewarding! It was adorable.

So, for us, the satisfaction level wasn't very high this time, but that doesn't mean the tour itself was bad.

The staff were really kind, cheerful, and cool, and they were considerate of our seasick daughter, which made our experience very pleasant. Other participants also seemed to be having a great time.

If you're not worried about English and seasickness, I think you'll definitely enjoy it!

スヌーバに初挑戦しようと張り切って家族5人で参加しましたが、船がかなり揺れたため、子どもの一人がひどい船酔いになってしまって、結局それどころではありませんでした。

夫も私もある程度の英語はできるし、日本語のガイドさんがいなくても大丈夫かな?と思って参加したのですが、スヌーバの説明やジョークなど、エンジンの音がうるさい船上では全くついていけず後悔しました。

期待したほどに魚影も濃くなく、フィリピンで見た様なサンゴ礁に群がる魚群を想像していた私たちにとっては、感動というレベルではありませんでした。
スヌーバでも、それは同じだったのではないかと思います。
(でも、参加者の中には、スゴイ!と感激している人もいました。これは主観的な感想なので、なんともいえません)

また海水が結構冷たくて、船に上がってからとても寒かったので、厚手のバスタオルや防寒着は必携です。

でも、ウミガメには、終わりがけにやっと船の上から会うことができたので、報われました♪可愛かったです。


今回、そんな訳で、私たちにとってはあまり満足度は高くありませんでしたが、ツアー自体が悪かったわけでは決してありません。

スタッフのみなさんは本当に親切で明るく恰好よく、船酔いした娘にも気遣ってくれたり、とても気持ちよく過ごすことができました。ほかの参加者もみんな楽しそうでした。

英語と船酔いに心配がない方であれば、きっと楽しめると思います!

野生のイルカウォッチング&ウミガメシュノーケリングクルーズ たっぷり3時間のシュノーケルで満喫 <ランチ&アルコール2杯付き/送迎付きor現地集合>

Family participation 家族参加

Reviewed by: ハワイ大好き

This time, my 74-year-old mother joined us on the dolphin tour. At the snorkeling point, we were able to see sea turtles up close. There were also plenty of fish. There were two Japanese staff members on board who provided thorough explanations and kind assistance, allowing us to have a very enjoyable time. The lunch was delicious as well. On the way back to the port, we encountered dolphins! The dolphins chased the boat and seemed to be playing while swimming, which was very cute. If given the opportunity, I would definitely like to join this tour again.

今回は74歳の母も一緒にイルカツアーに参加しました。シュノーケリングポイントではウミガメをとても近くで見ることができました。さかなもいっぱいいました。スタッフも日本人の方が2名乗船しており、丁寧な説明と親切な対応をしていただき、とても楽しい時間を過ごすことが出来ました。ランチもおいしかったです。帰港途中でイルカにも遭遇!イルカがボートを追いかけてきて、遊びながら泳いでいる様で、とてもかわいかったです。機会があれば、是非、また参加したいツアーです。

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>

Amazing! 凄い!

Reviewed by: ケンシロウ

I participated with my children (ages 13 and 10). Since it was a night activity, I was worried about bringing them along, but there were no issues at all. The size of the manta rays and their impressive presence right in front of us were incredible. We were very excited. The kids were also very satisfied. We would like to participate again next time. However, there is no detailed description of the meeting place (landmarks), so those gathering on-site need to be cautious. A truck towing a boat comes near the public restroom, but the tour name is not displayed, so you have to ask for information yourself. Additionally, while the tour description mentions drinks and snacks, none were provided. This needs to be corrected.

子供(13歳、10歳)を連れて参加しました。夜のアクティビティーだったので、子連れでは心配だったのですが、全く問題ありませんでした。
マンタの大きさと目の前に迫ってくる迫力は凄いの一言。とても興奮しました。
子供達も大満足。また、次回参加したいです。
ただ、集合場所が詳細(目印)の記載がないので、現地集合の人は注意が必要です。
公衆トイレ近くにボートを牽引したトラックが来ますが、ツアーの名称は表記されないので自分から声かけて聞くしか方法がありません。
また、ツアー内容に飲料、軽食の記載がありますが、提供はありませんでした。修正が必要ですね。

It was cute!! かわいかった!!

Interacting with the dolphins was so much fun. Their adorable swimming and the way they swam while being held was incredibly soothing. However, I accidentally ended up in an English explanation session, which was a bit disappointing because I couldn't understand much. But I still enjoyed it on the vibe!!

イルカとのふれあい、とても楽しかったです。イルカの可愛い泳ぎやつかまって泳ぐことで、すご~く癒されました。ただ、何故か英語での説明の会に入ってしまい、あまり、意味が通じなかったのが残念でした。でも、ノリで楽しんでしまいました!!

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>

The sea was very beautiful. とても綺麗な海でした。

Reviewed by: umamu

I participated on July 27.
The clarity of the water is amazing!
My partner can't swim at all, but it seemed fun just to float and snorkel.

The attentiveness of the Japanese staff was excellent, and I was able to enjoy myself with peace of mind.

At the second spot, we encountered a sea turtle.
Next time, I want to go during whale season.

7/27に参加しました。
何と言っても水の透明度がすごい!
相方は全く泳げませんが、
プカプカ浮いてシュノーケルするだけでも楽しそうでした。

日本人スタッフの気遣いがとてもよく、安心して楽しめました。

2か所目のポイントではウミガメにも遭遇しました。
次回はクジラの季節に行きたいと思います。

  • モロキニ島

  • 透明度

野生のマンタ シュノーケリングツアー <英語ガイド/軽食付き>

Fantastic! The dance of the manta rays. 幻想的!マンタの舞

Reviewed by: きっこ

I participated with my husband and our 9-year-old daughter. Since my husband speaks English, we decided on this affordable tour, but I think it’s fine even if you can’t speak difficult English, especially if you have snorkeling experience. However, we had to move to the port by ourselves from the tour reception desk.

My daughter, who gets motion sickness easily, took some anti-nausea medication beforehand, and thankfully, she didn’t get seasick. However, it was quite cold floating in the night sea (we participated in August). Even though she wore a long rash guard top and bottom, after floating for nearly 20 minutes and only seeing one manta ray in the distance, she started saying, “I’m cold; I want to get out!” While I was trying to calm her down, a group of five giant manta rays appeared! We forgot about the cold and were just captivated. It felt like we were floating in space. They swirled around us within reach. The staff were friendly and fun, and we had a wonderful experience unique to the Big Island of Hawaii.

夫と9歳の娘と3人で参加しました。夫が英語を話せるので、安いこちらのツアーに決めましたが、シュノーケル経験者の方なら特に難しい英語が話せなくても大丈夫だと思います。ただしツアー受付デスクからは自分達で港まで移動しなければいけません。
酔いやすい娘は、事前に酔い止めを飲ませまた効果か、船酔いはしませんでしたが、とにかく夜の海にずっと浮いてるために冷えます。(8月の参加で)上下ロングラッシュガードを着込んだにもかかわらず、20分近く浮いて、まだ1匹遠くにマンタを見ただけで、「寒くてもうあがりたい〜」と言い出す始末・・・。なんとかなだめていると、そこへ5匹の巨大マンタの群れが〜!!寒さも忘れてただただ見入ってしまいました。まるで宇宙に浮いてる感じです。クルクルと手の届くような位置で回ってくれました。スタッフも気さくで楽しくて、ハワイ島ならではのとてもいい経験が出来ました。
