BOB's Hawaii Underwater Scooter Adventure & Turtle Watching Tour

BOB was fun

Reviewed by: BigWillie

Overall my sister and I had a good time.

I was very disappointed with the cost of the photos. Even when the instructor tried to barter with me and cut the cost in half, it was still an outrageous price for a Cd that cost pennies to produce. If they were actual photos the price is still rediculous.

When I went to Kauai I did not think that I would be able to see any whales, well this tour proved me wrong and I am so glad that I went. The cruise was not only fun and fast paced, but we got to see whales, dolphins and the beautiful Kauai coast. Many thanks to everyone that made this tour top notch!

Being from Kansas, my family and I don't exactly get too many opportunities to go kayaking in the ocean, so when my son asked if we could do the kayaking and whale watching, I was little scared but now I am so glad that I did it! This was such a great tour from the moment we met our guide up until we came back to shore. Seeing whales while in our kayaks was completely breathtaking and the professionalism displayed by the guides was top notch. Keep it up folks!

The captain went on a great route in the water to see many places and we saw whales which was the best part of the day. If you go to Hawaii and the Bid Island, I say you should get to this tour.

My entire family, that includes my mom, dad, sister, two brothers and my grandparents all went to the Big Island of Hawaii and oh my goodness was it a trial finding activities and stuff that everyone in the group wanted to do and would enjoy doing.

This whale watching was hands-down the best thing that we did together! The younger siblings loved seeing the whales from the boat, and even dolphins, and seeing the reef fish through the glass. Both my parents and my grandparents loved being able to relax and enjoy the cruise and the crew on-board was simply top notch!

My husband and I travel to Hawaii every year and during our many trips, we have been on countless whale watching tours, but this one definitely stands out from the crowd. Rather than being shuffled onto a huge ship and being an anonymous passenger, being on this catamaran allowed for a much more personal interaction. On top of all this, the ocean was amazing and seeing the the whales was, as always, and amazing and unforgettable experience. When we got home, I told all of our friends and hope that they will be able to make it to Hawaii so they can check out this tour out :)

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＞

Dolphin! イルカ！

Reviewed by: ペキニーズのしんちゃん

On the day of the event, I received a notification from the hotel that the meeting time had been moved up, which allowed me to wait with peace of mind. I participated in five activities, but there was no communication regarding the other activities, which often left me feeling anxious, so I was relieved to have this update. Additionally, both Ryuuichi and Akemi, who came to pick us up, were Japanese and naturally spoke Japanese, which made me feel more at ease. The boat ride took about an hour, but along the way, they explained about the house of a famous sumo wrestler and the "What Tree Is That?" tree, making the time fly by.

On the boat, we had photographers Maeda and Merry, along with two other people who joined us, and we set off. The wind was chilly that day, but I was able to rent a wetsuit for $10, so I didn't feel cold while participating. We couldn't find dolphins in the first sea, but there were plenty in the next one. It took about 1 hour and 30 minutes to find them, but the boat cut through the waves like an attraction, and we even saw whales along the way, which was a quick experience. We were lucky enough to see whales twice.

When we found the dolphins, half of the group was able to swim with them, but the other half couldn't because the dolphins had moved. However, Ryuuichi noticed this and took us back to the location where the dolphins were, allowing the remaining people to swim with them as well. I appreciate Ryuuichi's thoughtfulness! Additionally, the attention to detail from all the staff regarding meals and facilities was excellent, and although my wife couldn't swim, she was able to participate with peace of mind. The dolphins were swimming with children, and they were incredibly cute and soothing. I was also able to see the dolphins up close thanks to Merry pulling me along.

There were other tour boats out as well, but ours was faster, and we coordinated with Dolphin University via radio to find the dolphins, which I believe significantly increased our chances of seeing them, so I highly recommend it! The tour photos cost $70, but they are great keepsakes, and Maeda's photos were wonderful, so I’m glad I bought them.

当日は、集合時間が早まる、との連絡をホテルに連絡いただき、安心して待つことができました。
5つのアクティﾋﾞﾃィに参加しましたが、他のアクティﾋﾞﾃィでは連絡はなく、不安な気持ちで待つ事がおおかったので安心できました。また迎えにきていただいた龍一さんと、あけみさんの二人とも日本の方で、当然日本語を話せる方で、安心できました。ボートまでは1h位でしたが、途中に小錦の家やこの木何の木の説明をしていただき、あっという間でした。またボートでは、写真撮影する前田さんやメリーさん、他にも2名の方も合流して、ボートは出発しました。当日は風が冷たかったのですが、ウェットスーツのンタルを10ドルでできますので、寒さを感じずに参加できました。イルカは最初の海では見つからず、次の海にはたくさんいました。イルカを探すまでにおおよそ1h30mくらいかかりましたが、船がアトラクションのように波を割って進んでいき、また途中に鯨がいて、あっという間でした。鯨は2回ほどみれて、運がよかったです。イルカを見つけ、半分の方はイルカと泳げましたが、残り半分の方はイルカが移動した為、一緒にイルカと泳げませんでしたが、龍一さんがそれに気がついて、もう一度イルカのいる場所に船で移動していただき、残りのか方もイルカと一緒に泳ぐ事ができました。龍一さんの気配りに感謝です！また他にも色々と食事とか設備とかすべてのスタッフの方の気配りが行き届いていて、私の家内はおよげませんでしたが、安心して参加できました。イルカは子供と一緒に泳いでいて、非常にかわいらしく、癒されました。私もメリーさんが引っ張ってもらって、すごい身近でイルカを見る事ができました。他にもツアーの船がでていましたが、船のスピードがこちらのほうが早いのと、イルカ大学と無線で連携をとり、イルカを探すので、イルカに見れる確率が非常に高いと思われますので、お勧めです！またツアーの写真は70$しますが、思い出に残りますし、前田さんのとる写真は素晴らしいので、買ってよかったです。

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＞

If you have the courage, changing plans is also an option. 勇気があれば、予定変更もアリ

Reviewed by: emi

I'm glad I participated and can recommend it. It was truly a wonderful experience to see manta rays while snorkeling with such a high probability. The guide mentioned that this is the only place in the world where you can see manta rays while snorkeling. It's a tour I want everyone to join. However, there are some downsides. Communication is only in English. It can be cold. There’s no pickup to the meeting place, and it's a bit nerve-wracking to confirm by phone. If you can't communicate in the language, it might be quite scary. But as long as you have courage, you'll be fine. You can refer to others' experiences for guidance. To deal with the cold, bring warm clothing and put it on right after getting out of the water. Since there’s no pickup to the meeting place, renting a car or staying in the Kona area or at the Sheraton is convenient. The confirmation call is only in English, but it's definitely necessary. My reservation was canceled, and I ended up participating the next day. Many Japanese people don't stay long on the Big Island, so if you miss it, it would be sad, so it's better to have a little extra time.

参加して良かった、お勧めできます。マンタがあのようにシュノーケルで高確率で見れるなんて、本当に素晴らしい体験です。世界でもシュノーケルでマンタが見れるのはここだけとガイドも話していました。皆様に参加して欲しいツアーです。しかし、難点もアリ。英語以外通じない。寒い。集合場所への送迎、再確認のＴＥＬ。海、夜、と不安なので語学が通じないと結構恐いかも？しかし、勇気さえあれば大丈夫。皆様の体験談を参考にすれば問題なし。寒さは防寒着を持参し海から上がってすぐ着用。集合場所まで送迎ないから、レンタカーかコナエリア、シャラトンなどに宿泊が便利。再確認のＴＥＬは英語のみだけど必ず必要。私は、予約日はキャンセルになり、次の日参加になりました。日本人はハワイ島にそう長く滞在しないパターンが多いので、見れなかったら悲しいので、余裕を少しでも持ったほうがいいです。

Reviewed by: ココナッツ

We participated in the Dolphin Royal Swim package with my 8-year-old child who wanted to swim with dolphins. This experience, which includes swimming with dolphins and rays and hugging seals, is something you can't easily do in Japan, and my child says it was the most fun thing in Hawaii. You need to be in deep water, but you wear a life jacket. However, those who can't swim might feel a bit scared. By the way, both my child and I can swim all four strokes, so we might not have felt scared.

Since children need an adult to accompany them, I experienced it alongside my child, so I couldn't take photos and ended up purchasing some, but they turned out to be great close-up shots. I also bought a DVD. You can check the DVD before purchasing, so I recommend going to buy it with some extra time before the meeting time.

イルカと泳ぎたいという子供（８歳）とドルフィンロイヤルスイムパッケージに参加しました。
日本ではなかなか体験できないイルカやエイと泳いだりアシカをだっこしたりと楽しいプランが満載で子供はハワイで一番楽しかったことだといっています。
足のつかないところにいる必要がありますが、ライフジャケットを着用します。ただ、泳げない方はちょっと恐く思うかも。ちなみに子供も私も４泳法全て泳げるので怖く感じなかったのかもしれません。
子供には付き添いが必要なので、私も一緒に体験したため撮影できず写真を購入しましたが、アップでよい写真でした。ＤＶＤも買ってしまいました。
ＤＶＤは確認のため見せてもらえるので集合時間に余裕を持って買いに行かれるといいと思います。

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

Beautiful snorkeling

Reviewed by: G. Akers

Excursion was overall quite enjoyable. Was a bit disappointed that no turtles were seen, but this was due to weather/surf conditions and not under staff control. Crew worked hard to try to get all passengers in water with small pod of dolphins we encountered. As they were constantly moving, saw more of them from boat. They were amazing and a lot of fun to watch.
The highlight of the trip for me was feeding the fish while snorkeling. As soon as a few food pellets released, you'd be swarmed with beautiful tropical fish--quite the experience. (However, as there were so many passengers on the trip, you were also surrounded by other swimmers making it difficult to maneuver without getting hit, bumped, or kicked.) Majority of staff were very nice and worked hard to make guests comfortable. Photographer did a fantastic job.
Would definitely recommend the excursion, but be aware that conditions can affect what you experience, be prepared to be snorkeling in a good-sized group in op

Shark Adventure Tour シャークアドベンチャーツアー

Reviewed by: AKKO&KAZU

I finally went on the Shark Adventure. There were three groups, including us, but the others seemed cramped as they entered in groups of four at the same time. We had more than enough time, I think it was about 15 to 20 minutes, and they let us stay until we said we were done. Our hands and feet were sticking out of the cage, which added to the tension. The staff handled everything in a calm manner, so those who want to enjoy themselves won't have any issues. I was concerned about seasickness, but I drank two strong ones from Japan, so it wasn't too bad. We drove from Waikiki, and the route was comfortable without getting lost, but on the way back, I was definitely sleepy and tired, so please be careful.

念願のシャークアドベンチャーにいきました。外国の方と我々も含めて３組でしたが、他の方は４人同時に入ったりで狭そうでした。時間は十分すぎるほどあり１５分から２０分くらいだったと思いますが、こちらからもう結構だと言うまでさせてくれます。檻から手足ははみ出るし緊迫感はあります。スタッフは淡々とこなしている感じですので自分たちで楽しむ方は問題ありません。懸念された船酔いも日本から強力なのを２本飲みましたので差ほどではありませんでした。レンタカーでワイキキから行きましたが道も迷うことなく快適でしたが帰りはさすがに眠く疲れますので気をつけてください。

Dolphins, turtles, tropical fish! イルカ　亀　熱帯魚！

Reviewed by: lg21

I participated alone this time.

There were also two girls who were joining for the second time since coming to Hawaii.

Once you enter the sea, you are greeted by beautiful tropical fish that delight your eyes.

I could see dolphins jumping from the boat, but it was difficult to see them underwater, and I tried several times.

Thanks to the staff who diligently searched for spots where we could dive and guided us, we were able to see mother-and-baby dolphins and sea turtles.

On the boat, they played the ukulele and sang while we danced, and we had a lot of fun.

The captain was grilling hamburgers for us, but at that time, my stomach was not feeling well, so it took me quite a while to finish my meal. I felt a bit sorry as I was munching away while everyone else started dancing to the music.

All the staff, including Yuriko, were warm and friendly, and since this is an experience you can't easily have in Japan, I highly recommend it.

今回ひとりで参加しました。

ツアーに参加していた方には今回ハワイにきてから２回目の参加、という女の子２人組もいらっしゃいました。

海に入ると、まずきれいな熱帯魚がいて目を楽しませてくれます。

またイルカは飛んでいるところは船からみえたのですが、水中からはなかなか見れなくて、何度かトライしました。

スタッフの方たちも一生懸命、もぐって見られるスポットを探して誘導してくれたおかげで親子のイルカや海亀をみることができました。

また船の上では、ウクレレを弾きながら、歌を歌っていただき、わたしたちは踊り、とても楽しめました。

またパパさんが（船長）ハンバーガーを焼いてそれをいただくのですが、当時胃の調子がとても悪く、完食するのに相当時間をかけてたべたので、みんなが音楽にあわせて踊りはじめたときにも、モグモグ食べながらいたので申し訳ないな、とおもいながらすごしました。
