Was such a cool day!!
Really glad we did this, was just amazing!! Recomend to all!!
Got a wee bit sea sick, so do recomend that people that suffer from sea sick to take some pills the night/morning before doing it, but it was well worth feeling a little sick as it was such a awesome experience!!

I think it's great that you can visit the west coast of Hawaii, which you wouldn't go to otherwise, on this tour. The staff is full of energy and keeps you entertained. You can eat malasadas, swim with dolphins, see sea turtles, enjoy a simple cheeseburger, go paddle boarding, and even dance a little hula—it's a packed tour.
Swimming while snorkeling and having wild dolphins swim right in front of you is moving and very healing, but it was unfortunate that when I participated, the wind was strong and the sea was a bit murky, and it took time to find the dolphins, so I couldn't go paddle boarding. It's a busy tour because of all the activities, but I recommend it for those who want a fulfilling experience.
このツアーでなかったら行かないハワイの西海岸にいけるのが良いと思います。スタッフも元気いっぱいでたのしませてくれるし、マラサダを食べて、イルカと泳いで、ウミガメも見られて、シンプルですがチーズバーガーも食べられてパドルボートもできてフラダンスもちょっとだけ踊れる盛りだくさんのツアーです。
シュノーケルで泳いでいると野生のイルカが目の前を通り過ぎて行くのは感動でとても癒されますが、参加した時は風が強くて海が少し濁っていたのが残念だったのと、いるかを見つけるのに時間がかかったので、パドルボートが出来なかったのが残念でした。盛りだくさんな分忙しめのツアーですが充実したい方にはオススメです。

I was able to see sea turtles. They were very large, and I was deeply moved when I saw them.
At Molokini, I went snuba diving. It was easier and more casual than scuba diving, and I thoroughly enjoyed the clear waters. The cheeseburger for lunch was also delicious. Additionally, the Japanese staff were very attentive, and I had a great time.
ウミガメを見ることが出来ました。とても大きく、見れた時は大変感動しました。
モロキニでは、スヌーバをしました。スキューバより簡単で気軽にでき、透明度の高い海を思い切り堪能できました。昼食のチーズバーガーもおいしかったです。また、日本人スタッフの方もとても気を配っていただいて、とても楽しかったです。

This was my third time participating. Unfortunately, I couldn't meet the dolphins for the first time... But I had a great time with the crew and other guests. I participate about once every six months, but I was most disappointed that my favorite crew member, a boy, had left.

I decided on this tour after reading various experiences. We gathered early in the morning and traveled to the site by bus. The boat was beautiful, and there were drinks and light snacks like cupcakes and yogurt available for us to enjoy at any time. For lunch, there was a light buffet with hamburgers, rice, meat, and potatoes, but I couldn't eat much due to fatigue, seasickness, and drowsiness. I had lunch again separately after returning.
Most of the participants were foreigners, with only a few Japanese. The tour guide was American, but there was one person who spoke fluent Japanese, providing explanations in Japanese after the English ones.
The weather was nice that day, but we had a hard time spotting dolphins and turtles. We stopped for about an hour to enjoy snorkeling. The water was crystal clear and beautiful. It was fun to throw food and have many fish come right up to me. I was considering diving the next day, but snorkeling was enjoyable enough.
After that, we returned to the boat and finally encountered dolphins. About ten dolphins swam near the boat, seemingly playing with us, and they were really cute.
It was early November, and the sea wasn't too cold, but it did get chilly after being in the water for a long time. You can rent a wetsuit for about ten dollars at the port's reception, not through the tour company. They sell snacks, drinks, and port T-shirts and goods, resembling a souvenir corner, but I didn't see anyone buying anything in particular.
As for wallets, you can leave your belongings or towels on the tables or chairs inside the boat, so it's better not to carry cards or large amounts of cash just in case. It was mentioned that you should bring your passport if you plan to drink alcohol, but I wasn't asked to show it. So, it would be good to have about twenty dollars in a pouch just in case, but I ended up not using any cash at all.
Also, after swimming, it gets cold, so a bath towel and a hoodie or T-shirt to wear on top are essential.
Even if you don't usually get seasick, it's a good idea to bring motion sickness medication. The boat isn't that small or shaky, but since we left early in the morning and I hadn't eaten much for breakfast, I did feel a bit nauseous.
After about an hour of snorkeling and sunbathing for a long time, the early morning conditions were surprisingly tiring, and most people were fast asleep on the bus ride back in the afternoon.
体験談を色々読んでこちらに決めました。朝早く集合してバスで現地まで移動。船は綺麗で、室内にはいつでも自由に飲食できる飲み物、カップケーキやヨーグルトなど軽食がありました。昼食も軽いビュッフェ形式のハンバーガー、ご飯、お肉、ポテト、など出ましたが、疲れや酔いと眠気が手伝ってあまり食べれず。帰って別でまた昼食をとりました。
ほとんどの参加者が外国人で、日本人は少しだけ。ツアー催行者の方もアメリカ人ですが、一人日本語がペラペラな方がいて、日本人にも英語の説明の後に日本語で説明してくれます。
この日は天気は良かったのですがなかなかイルカもカメも見つからず、とりあえず停舶して1時間ほどスノーケリングを楽しみました。海の中は透き通ってすごく綺麗。エサを放り投げてたくさんの魚が目の前まで来て楽しかったです。ダイビングを次の日に考えてましたが、スノーケリングで十分楽しめます。
その後、船に戻ってようやくイルカに出会えました。本当にわざとやってるのかと思うほど10頭ほどのイルカが船の近くで一緒に「遊ぼう!遊ぼう!」と泳いで、とてもかわいかったです。
11月始めですが、さほど海は冷たくなかったですが、長いこと入っていると寒くなってきます。ウェットスーツは10ドルかな?でツアー会社ではなく港の受付で借りれます。ここではお菓子、飲み物や港のTシャツやらグッズ等が売っていて、お土産コーナーのようですが、特に何か買ってる人はいなかったです、、。
お財布などは船内のテーブルや椅子の上に荷物やタオルを置いておくかんじなので、カードや大金は念のため持ち歩かないようにしたほうがいいです。お酒を飲む場合のパスポート持参と書かれていましたが特に提示を聞かれませんでした。なので、ポーチに万が一のために20ドルくらい入れていけばいい感じですが、結局一銭も現金は使っていません。
あとは、泳いだ後が寒いのでバスタオルと上に着るパーカーもしくはTシャツは必須です。
あまり乗り物に酔わない人でも酔い止めは持参したほうがいいです。そこまで小型で揺れる船ではないですが、朝早いので朝食をあまりとってなかったりすると酔います。
1時間ほどのスノーケリング、日差しの下で長い間日焼け、朝早いというコンディションは意外に疲れ、昼の帰りのバスはほとんどの人が爆睡してました。午後からアク

My first snorkeling experience at Molokini Island!! I was worried because there were mostly foreigners around, but thanks to the friendly support from a Japanese female staff member (I'm sorry, I forgot her name), I enjoyed it more than I expected. The ocean in October was a bit chilly at first, but once I got in, it was warm. Molokini Island had cave-like formations and beautifully colored fish, making it so much fun that I lost track of time. It was incredibly enjoyable. Even though it was October, the Hawaiian sun was strong, and it got hotter as the afternoon went on, so I ended up getting sunburned!! For those participating, please apply sunscreen generously. Even with sunscreen, you can still get burned (laughs).

First, we went to eat a treat called malasada. It was freshly fried and very delicious. On the bus, they passionately talked about snorkeling precautions and Hawaii in Japanese.
Once we boarded the boat, the lively crew welcomed us, and we had a great time. We were particularly fine with seasickness, but some people felt unwell, so those who are worried might want to bring motion sickness medication. Also, they will take photos for you, but since you'll have to buy them later, if you want to avoid spending money, it might be better to take your own pictures.
When we got out to sea, the weather was fantastic, and we were able to see over 100 dolphins, which was truly moving. It was a wonderful experience to see dolphins right in front of us. We only saw one turtle, but I think it offers a different kind of excitement compared to seeing turtles in an aquarium. I highly recommend this tour.
最初に、マラサダというお菓子を食べに行きました。揚げたてでとてもおいしかったです。バス内では日本語でシュノーケリングの注意事項やハワイについて熱く語ってくれます。
船に乗ると、ノリのいいクルーたちが出迎えてくれてとても楽しく過ごすことができました。私たちはとくに船酔いは大丈夫でしたが、何人かの方が気分が悪くなっていたので心配な方は乗り物酔いの薬を持って行った方がよいかも。また、写真を撮ってくれますが、後で買うことになるのでお金をかけたくない方は、無理してでも自ら写真を撮った方がいいかも。
私たちが海に出た時はとても天気がよくイルカたちにも100頭以上あうことができ感動しました。目の前でイルカを見れるのでとてもいい経験をすることができました。カメは一頭しかみれませんでしたが、水族館で見るカメとは違う感動を味わうことができると思います。お勧めのツアーです。

I participated with eight male friends. Regarding the pickup, we came from far away, and the driver picked up other participants in order, but we were picked up about 20 minutes late. I was a bit anxious, but I was able to spot the car right away because it had a shark design on it.
Once we got in the car and arrived at the location, there were about 20 participants, including some foreigners, and we boarded the boat to head out to sea. It was quite exhilarating as we sped along, with water splashing like a waterfall, which felt amazing!
When we reached the dive point, we connected the cage to the boat and dived in groups of six. About half of the cage was covered in plastic, but the lower half remained open, which added to the thrill and made it a lot of fun! We got to get up close to a large school of sharks, and my excitement was at its peak! It was a truly valuable experience.
However, almost all the Japanese participants experienced seasickness, so taking motion sickness medication is a must.
男友達8名で参加してきました。
ピックアップについては、遠くから来られて、別の参加者の方も順番にピックアップをしてくるのですが、20分ほど遅れてピックアップされました。少々不安になりましたが車にサメのデザインがされていたのですぐに発見できました。
車に乗って現地に着き、外国人の参加者の方も含めて20名程度でボートに乗って沖にでます。
かなり豪快に走って、水しぶきが滝のように振ってきて気持ちいい!!
ポイントに着くと、檻と船を接続して順番に6名づつでダイブしました。檻の半分くらいはプラスチックで覆われているのですが、下半分は檻のままなので、スリルがあって楽しかったです!!間近でサメの大群に接近できテンションはMAX!!とても貴重な体験となりました。
ただし、日本人はほぼ船酔いをしていましたので、酔い止め薬は必須ですよ。

This time, I was considering other companies as well, but I decided to go with this one because their pricing was lower. Although the guide was not Japanese, there were Japanese explanations provided on board, so I don't think there will be any issues. However, the driver only spoke English, so the car was filled with foreigners (everyone seemed to be having a good time chatting), and we spent our time enjoying the scenery outside.
When we arrived at the point, the boat stopped, and looking at the sharks from the boat made me feel seasick. During my participation, we entered the cage in three groups, so there was a high chance of feeling seasick before and after my turn. I didn't wear a swimsuit this time since I wasn't planning on going into the cage, but I found out that if I wanted to enter the cage on-site, I could do so for an additional fee, so I wish I had worn it. I believe that for this tour, it’s worth it to go into the cage!
Next time... I’m considering it, but thinking about the boat's stopping time makes me hesitate about participating again, so I should definitely take seasickness medication.
今回、他社さんのほうでも検討していましたが、料金設定が安かったのでこちらでお願いしました。
日本人ガイドではないのですが、ちゃんとツアーは日本語の説明が書かれている物が船内にあって渡されたので、特に困らないと思います。
ただ・・・ドライバーさんも英語のみなので、車内は外人さんばかりでしたが(みんなで楽しそうに会話されていました)外の景色を見ながら車内は過ごしました。
ポイントに到着すると船を停止するので、船内からサメをみていると船酔いしますし、参加した時は3回にわけてゲージに入っていったので、自分の番の前後などに船酔いする可能性が大です。今回、ゲージに入るツアーにしていなかったので、水着を着用していかなかったのですが、現地でゲージに入りたければ+支払いすればOKでしたので、着用していけばよかったと思いました。
船上からよりは、やはりこのツアーはせっかくなのでゲージにはいるべきだと思います!!
次回は・・・・と思いますが、船の停止時間を考えるともう1度参加するかは迷いますので、酔い止めは飲むべきですね。

I participated in the Royal Swim this time, and I didn't expect interacting with the dolphins to be so much fun. They are just so cute. You can feed them, pet their backs and bellies, and hold onto their dorsal fins. The foot push can lift even larger adults up.
It's a good idea to bring a little extra money for souvenirs.

It was my first experience with a submarine, and I was able to participate with great interest. My 4-year-old child seemed to enjoy it as well (although they got bored halfway through...).
It might be worth trying at least once.
However, I had reserved for the earliest submarine tour because it mentioned a Japanese guide, but in the end, it was an audio guide. Was there a mistake in the description, or was it my misunderstanding? If there had been a Japanese guide, it might have been even more enjoyable.
Also, there was no shuttle service, and we had to wait a good 30 to 40 minutes from the meeting time. They said they were waiting for another pickup bus, but I thought it would have been better to set the meeting time a bit later.

At Outrigger Reef on the Beach, you can check in, board the boat, and store your beach sandals right on the beach. They also offer commemorative photo sessions for $15. The activity starts when the staff arrives with the participant list at the designated time.
There is an area offshore where you can see schools of fish and green sea turtles, and many participants enjoy snorkeling there until they get bored and return to the boat (about 30 minutes). Life jackets are not provided during the ride. For concerns about buoyancy while snorkeling, soft foam noodles are available for use. Once everyone is back on the boat, drink orders are taken, and then you sail around Diamond Head until it's time to return. During this time, you might encounter dolphins or get soaked by big waves.
There is an emergency toilet located in the left hull of the catamaran.

My husband, who loves animals, participated while I observed. We were picked up by a bus around 8:30 AM, and since our reservation was at 11:45 AM, I thought we might have too much free time. However, as we watched the sea turtles, seals, and penguins in the park, the time flew by.
Aside from my husband, everyone else was couples or families, and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. There is a designated area for observers, but it was difficult to take photos with a regular compact camera since everything was too far away. In the end, we purchased photos taken by the staff, which turned out beautifully as they were well-framed and everyone seemed to end up buying them (^_^;). The prices were $16 for one photo, $30 for two, and $40 for three.
There was also a place to grab a light snack while waiting for the return bus, which helped us manage our time well. My husband was delighted by how cute the dolphins were. The experiences of shaking hands, kissing, observing underwater, and swimming while riding on their bellies were all precious moments.
However, the observation area only had benches, with no shade, and since it was a clear sunny day, it got quite hot. I would recommend that anyone visiting bring a hat or a parasol.

I wanted to surprise my teenage nieces, so I decided to take them on those neat underwater scooters, and they had a blast. They are 15 years old and I thought they would be bored but they were not. They were so excited!!! The scooters were pretty easy to get used to, and my nieces had an easy time in the water.
They especially liked the idea that your hair doesn't get wet while in the bubble. We didn't see any big reef formations or turtles, but we did see a lot of small fish. I would recommend taking some motion sickness pills before boarding though, it did get a little rocky out there on the boat.
Staff was very friendly and attentive towards us, my nieces thought the crew were very good looking and wanted me to point this out. My nieces were hungry afterwards and this activity is in a very good location. A lot of places in walking distance to get some lunch since we all worked up an appetite.

I had an adventure at Sea Life Park Hawaii where I got to play with dolphins. I touched the dolphins, kissed them, held onto their dorsal fins while swimming, and observed their movements underwater while snorkeling. I had always wanted to touch a dolphin after watching the shows, so experiencing it was thrilling. The local instructor was very cheerful and made the experience fun and interesting. There were also quite a few older couples from various countries and backgrounds, but everyone was smiling and enjoying themselves.
However, since it was my first time snorkeling, I was so focused on diving that I couldn't see much underwater (sadly). I wore a swimsuit with a rash guard on top and shorts on the bottom during the experience. They provide life jackets to wear while participating. Even in Hawaii, the water is cold, so wearing a rash guard is good for sun protection as well. By the way, it's important to remove earrings and rings beforehand as they can become dangerous.
There are warm showers and changing rooms available. They also sell DVDs of the experience and photos. My husband, who wasn't initially enthusiastic, said afterward, "That was super fun!" The park also has sea turtles and seals, and they put on dolphin shows. You can enjoy a full day there. It creates wonderful memories in Hawaii.

I participated in the tour that started at 3 PM on the day I arrived in Hawaii. There were more foreign tourists than Japanese, allowing me to experience a sense of being in a different country in Hawaii, which is usually filled with Japanese visitors.
We took a boat to reach the submarine waiting offshore, but many people experienced seasickness, so I recommend taking motion sickness medication if you're prone to it (the submarine itself was stable). There were many colorful fish on the ocean floor off Waikiki, and we also saw sharks. I was excited about the rare experience of riding in a submarine. The view of Diamond Head from offshore Waikiki was also beautiful.
ハワイに到着した日に15時からの回で参加しました。日本人観光客よりも外国の人が多く、日本人が多いハワイで異国気分を味わえました。
沖に待機している潜水艦までは船で行くのですが、船酔いされている方も多く、酔いやすい方は酔い止めをお勧めします(潜水艦は揺れは大丈夫でした)。ワイキキ沖の海底にもカラフルな魚がたくさんおり、その他サメなども見られました。潜水艦に乗るという滅多に出来ない体験に興奮しました。またワイキキ沖から見るダイヤモンドヘッドも素敵でした。

The Atlantis submarine is available in other regions as well, but I think Hawaii has a greater variety of marine life to encounter.
To board the submarine, you take a short cruise on a boat. From there, you transfer to another vessel and dive into the deep sea.
That day, I was satisfied to see a sea turtle swim right in front of me and a school of fish.
However, it was a bit disappointing that the return cruise took a little longer than expected.
潜水艦アトランティスって他の地域にもありますが、ハワイは他よりも出会える海の生き物たちが多いと思います。
潜水艦に乗るにあたっては、沖までちょっとした?クルーズ船に乗ります。
そこから海上で船を乗り換えて、深海へ潜っていきます。
その日はウミガメが目の前をよぎったり、魚の軍団を見れたり満足でした。
ただ、帰りのクルーズ船でやや寄ってしまったのが残念でした。

I participated with a friend last month. Since we didn't have a car, we chose a tour that provided transportation. After arriving at the harbor, a Japanese staff member took care of us, which made us feel secure until the end. We also participated in the snorkeling activity. They arranged for us to enter at Molokini Island, and since a group of Japanese girls who were supposed to join us canceled last minute, my friend and I ended up snorkeling together. However, I felt a bit embarrassed as a Japanese person. I borrowed a jacket, but it was warmer than I expected, so I might not have needed it. We also saw honu (sea turtles) several times, so I would like to participate again.
友人と先月、参加しました。
車がなかったので、お迎えがあるツアーを選びました。
ハーバーについてからも日本人のスタッフさんがお世話してくれて、最後まで安心でした。
スヌーバーにも参加しました。
モロキニ島で入るようにしてくれていて、一緒にもぐるはずだった日本人の女の子グループがドタキャンしたので友人と2人でもぐれました。
しかし、日本人としてちょっと恥ずかしかったです。
上着を借りたのですが、思ったよりも暖かく要らなかったかも。
ホヌにも何度も会えたので、また参加したいです。

I thoughly enjoyed the cruise although my wife became ill
prior to the journey and wasn't able to attend. She would
have also enjoyed! The highlite was a Black Manta that
swam directly under the boat.
