OMG- my husband and I found this activity last minute, and we went ahead and booked with the hope that would be a cool experience. It went above and beyond on our expectations, and all I can say is that we are so happy we found you guys! My husband loves to snorkel, I on the other hand don’t.. I tried before and my hair usually gets stuck in the equipment, water comes inside of my ears and mouth... this is an Amazing alternative to snorkel, but much much better!
The whole staff was smooth and patient. You will see so many fishes, it’s def incredible! Worth every penny, and I even think they should charge more... 1st class experience!

Cole was our tour guide, he was extremely informative and helpful. We were nervous not knowing how difficult the paddle was going to be but it truly was easy. We paddled over to the turtle cleaning station and we’re amazed at all the turtles we literally just hanging out with. Cole showed us different sea life and explained the history of the surrounding islands. It was the best tour we had during all our trips, clear waters, lots of coral and mostly turtles!!! We highly recommend

This was such a fun experience to share with my wife. This was our honeymoon and we really loved the fact that they took great pics of us on the underwater scooters while feeding the fish. Even after our ~20min turn was over, we still had an hour to snorkel and swim around which was amazing! I’ve never been so close to sea turtles in my life!!

The boat was not originally scheduled to go to Molokini; instead, it stayed in shallow waters unaffected by the wind. We snorkeled in a place with few fish at first. After that, we spent several hours just enduring the strong winds and blazing sun on the moored boat.
Is it because canceling would make refunds complicated?
I was disappointed that my precious time off was wasted.
船は当初からモロキニに行く航路では無く、風の影響を受けない浅瀬で停留する事、最初だけ余り魚のいない場所でシュノーケリング。後は数時時間。係留された船の上、単に炎天下、強風に耐え辛抱するだけ。
キャンセルにすると返金が面倒だから?
やっと休暇を取った貴重な時間が損なわれ残念でした。

This was my first time participating with my mother and my children, aged 3 and 7. I thought my 3-year-old might not be able to handle the dolphin swimming, but when we arrived at the spot, everyone dove into the sea! The 3-year-old was held by a staff member and got to see dolphins and sea turtles, and even ride on a paddleboard, which made them incredibly happy! The staff were all friendly and kept the kids entertained. We encountered dozens of dolphins, many sea turtles, and even baby turtles, making it the best day of our lives. The kids are now excitedly saying they want to join the manta ray program next time! Thank you to all the staff! I will definitely participate again next time!

It had been three years since I last saw the night sea, so I was nervous.
As explained on the boat, I was able to float surprisingly easily by holding onto a semicircular ring and resting my legs on a long foam stick. Thanks to that, I could wait for the manta rays while comfortably observing plankton and fish. It was breathtaking to see the manta rays swimming close to my body and spinning around!! If I could wish for anything, it would be to see them in a group.
I borrowed a wetsuit, so I wasn't cold in the water (wearing aqua shoes might have helped too). My husband said he felt cold. Changing back when we returned was easy since I brought a pareo (a square piece of cloth).
I am grateful to the staff for providing an experience that I couldn't have done on my own.
3年ぶりと夜の海だったので、緊張しました。
船上での説明通り、半円形のリングにつかまり発泡スチロールの細長い棒に脚を乗せていたので思いのほか楽に浮いていることができました。お蔭で、プランクトンや、魚を見ながら余裕をもってマンタを待つことができました。
マンタが私の体すれすれに泳いだり、回転する様は感動でした!!
欲を言えば、群れで来てほしかったです。
ウェットスーツを借りたので、水中は寒くなかったです(アクアシューズを履いていたのも良かったかもしれません)。
・・主人は寒いと言っていました。
帰ってきた時の着替えは、パレオ(四角い布)を持ってきたので楽でした。
自分だけではできない体験ができ、スタッフのみな様に感謝いたします。

We departed at dusk and were able to enjoy the sunset sinking into the sea from the boat. We also encountered four mantas, making it a very satisfying tour. While we were snorkeling and looking into the sea, the mantas approached us with their mouths open (to eat plankton), passing right in front of us multiple times and even spinning around. They came so close that we almost touched them, even though we shouldn't have. I think this is a rare experience.
夕暮れ時に出発し、ボートから海に沈むサンセット鑑賞もできましたし、マンタ4枚にも遭遇でき、大変満足なツアーでした。シュノーケルで海をのぞいている私達に、マンタが口を開けて(プランクトンを食べるため)向かってきたり、何度も目の前を通り過きたり、回転したりと、触ってはいけないのに、触ってしまうほど近くまでやってきました。なかなか出来ない体験だと思います。
The slow and graceful rolling of the manta rays is a must-see! Thank you for participating.

There was a bit of trouble with the operating company at the meeting point. We arrived at the meeting location more than five minutes before the scheduled time. Then, a flashy bus with the "Dolphin & You" logo passed right in front of us, and thinking we had been left behind, we hurried to chase after it, but it just kept going. Since we had minimal luggage and didn't have our smartphones, we had no choice but to return to the hotel, where we received a call from the operating company... They said they had come to pick us up at the meeting point but since we weren't there, we could no longer participate in the tour.
Actually, the bus we chased after was a different bus picking up Western guests, while Japanese guests were supposed to be picked up by a smaller van (a plain white bus without the operating company's name or logo), which apparently arrived quite late on the day of the tour. Despite this, the operating company said, "Since this is a cancellation on your part, we cannot issue a refund. If you want to participate, please take a taxi to the harbor." I thought it was unreasonable to ask us to take a taxi to a location that takes an hour by car, and when I expressed my frustration asking, "Is this really our responsibility???" they reluctantly agreed to send someone to pick us up.
On the morning of the tour, a confirmation call was made to the hotel, but the staff member was not fluent in Japanese and did not provide detailed information during the prior call. Therefore, I recommend confirming what kind of bus will come to pick you up on the day of the tour.
Once we got on the boat, I thought the staff members were very kind and helpful. There were also staff members who spoke Japanese fluently. They were very high-energy, which might be a bit overwhelming if you’re feeling unwell. In my case, I think the strong winds contributed to my discomfort, and I felt that snorkeling might be tough for small children... My child cried a lot during the first attempt and couldn't handle it. Dolphins can only be seen underwater as dark shadows, so it might be better for children to see them from the boat.
I also brought an underwater camera, but it's quite difficult unless you're a good swimmer. Regarding clothing, I wore a rash guard and tights, and I think that was sufficient without needing to rent a wetsuit (the rental wetsuits are short types). As for belongings, you should definitely borrow a bath towel from the hotel and bring it with you. It can get a bit chilly on the way back, so it's better to take off wet rash guards and dry off with the bath towel before putting on a dry shirt.
As for tipping, which can be confusing for Japanese people, it didn't seem like it was strictly enforced. The Q&A section on the operating company's website also mentions that a small gesture is sufficient. I hope this information is helpful to everyone.
集合時に運営会社と少しとトラブルになりました。
私たちは集合場所に待ち合わせ時間の5分以上前から来ていました。
すると「ドルフィン&ユー」のロゴが描かれた派手めのバスが目の前を通り過ぎてしまったので、置いて行かれたと思い、慌てて追いかけたのですが、そのまま行ってしまいました。
荷物も最小限で、スマホも持っていなかったので、仕方なくホテルに戻ったところ、運営会社から電話が・・・。集合場所にピックアップにきたが、いないのでもうツアーには参加できないとのことでした。
実は我々が追いかけたバスは、欧米人客を拾っていく別便のバスで、日本人客はそれよりは小さいバンのようなバス(運営会社名もロゴもない、真っ白なバスです)が拾っていくことになってたらしいのですが、当日それが待ち合わせ時間よりもかなり遅れてきたのです。
・・・にも関わらず、運営会社がいうには、「そちらの都合のキャンセルなので、返金には応じられない。参加したければ、タクシーでハーバーまで来てください。」とのことでした。
車で1時間もかかるところに、タクシーで来いというのもどうかと思いますし、さすがに「それってこちらの責任なのですか???」と憤ったところ、渋々なんとか迎えにきてくれました。
当日の朝に確認の電話がホテルに掛かってきますが、そのときのスタッフは日本語が堪能ではなく、事前の電話でそこまで詳細な情報までは教えてはくれませんでした。
ですので、当日はどんなバスが迎えにくるのかを必ず確認された方がいいと思います。
船に乗ってからは、スタッフの皆さんとても親切で良かったと思います。
日本語がとても流暢なスタッフもいました。
とてもハイテンションなので、気分が悪くなるとちょっとしんどいかもしれません。
私の場合は、結構風が強かったのも原因かと思いますが、シュノーケリングは小さいお子さんは厳しいかも・・・という印象でした。
うちの子は、1回目で大泣きでダメでした。
イルカは水中で見ても、黒い影のようにしか見えないので、子供は船上で見た方がいいかもしれません。
あと水中カメラを持っていきましたが、泳ぎが得意な方でないとなかなか難しいです。
あと服装ですが、私はラッシュカードとタイツをはいて行きましたが、ウエットスーツ(貸しウエットスーツは短パンタイプです)を借りなくても、これで十分だと思いました。
荷物としては、バスタオルはホテルで借りて必ず持っていくべきでしょう。やはり帰りはちょっと寒いので、ぬれたラッシュガードなどは脱いで、バスタオルで体を拭って、乾いたシャツ等を着る方がいいと思います。
日本人が戸惑うチップですが、そんなにきっちり払っている感じはなかったです。運営会社HPのQ&Aにも書いてありますが、気持ち程度でいいと思います。
皆さんの参考になればと思います。

Several manta rays came right up to us, showing their bellies and dancing. It took about 30 minutes to reach the manta point after getting on the boat, and I was tired by the time we arrived due to the rain. You can see the mantas while snorkeling by holding onto the boat's rope. There are floats available, but you need to jump into the sea from the boat and swim back to it on your own. I was scared to jump in. The snorkeling lasted about 40 minutes. It was tiring because it was cold and raining. If you call out to the staff, you can return to the boat midway. On the way back, we were offered hot chocolate. It was physically challenging, but I’m grateful for the many mantas we saw and the hospitality of the Japanese staff.
何枚ものマンタがすぐそばまでやってきてくれて、おなかを見せてダンスをしてくれました。
船にのってから、マンタのポイントまでは30分程度あり、雨が降っていたこともあり、つくまでに疲れました。マンタはボートの綱に捕まってシュノーケリングしながら見ます。浮きはありますが、船から海に飛び込み、ボートまでは自力でいく必要があります。飛び込むのがこわかったです。シュノーケリングは、40分くらいあります。雨が降って寒かったので疲れました。スタッフの方に声をかけると途中で船に戻れます。
帰りの船では、ホットチョコレートをいただけました。
体力的にはつらかったけど、マンタがたくさん見られたのと、日本人スタッフの方のホスピタリティに感謝いたします。
I think the manta ray rolling might be too close for comfort.
Snorkeling for long periods in the ocean at night can be physically demanding, so if you start to feel tired, please consider getting back on the boat early and enjoy the experience without overexerting yourself.

I participated with one adult and two children. From the time of the pickup, I was told that one child was canceled, even though I hadn't canceled anything, which led to a back-and-forth argument. Somehow, we were allowed to board, but at the park reception, they said one child was still canceled. What does this mean? I'm angry. We managed to get in, but it was confusing. I was also not given an explanation about purchasing photos, so I couldn't buy any, which made me angry. Overall, the service was terrible from start to finish. I will never use this again.

Thank you very much for your patronage.
However, I sincerely apologize for causing you to feel uneasy from the moment of your pickup, despite your anticipation for the outing.
Upon confirming the situation with the local operating company on the day of the event, it was found that there was an error in the reservation management on their side, which resulted in the seat for one child not being secured. Additionally, I apologize on behalf of the operating company for the unilateral response without sufficient explanation, which caused you discomfort.
We recognize that carefully confirming each important booking from our customers is fundamental to ensuring that you have a wonderful time, and that any deficiencies in reservation management are a serious issue that cannot be overlooked. To prevent similar inconveniences in the future, we will strengthen our collaboration with the local operating company and strive for further service improvement.

I have been to Hawaii many times, but the Atlantis Submarine was a first-time experience for me. There was Japanese audio available, but I didn't feel the need for it because the Japanese spoken by the guide was very interesting. I was very lucky to see both a sea turtle sleeping and swimming at the same time. The windows were smaller than I imagined, so it was definitely the right choice to book the "Premium Plan with Larger Windows."

Children's opinion:
The waves were rough, but there were fish, and it was fun.
It takes about an hour by boat to get to Molokini Island.
By chance, there was a strong southwest wind, so the boat was rocking quite a bit, but it seems that about 70% of the year is calm.
There were also considerable waves around Molokini Island, and we could only stay for a short time, but it seems that it's actually calm like a lake, so I want to try again.
こどもの意見↓
波が荒れてたけど魚がいて楽しかった。
モロキニ島へは、船で1時間。
たまたま、サウスウエストの風が強く吹いていたため、かなり船が揺れていたが、1年のうち70%くらいは、穏やかだそうです。
モロキニ島周辺もかなりの波があり、短い時間しか入れなかったが、本当は湖のように穏やかだそうなので、またリベンジしたいです。

I participated on July 11. At first, I was a bit anxious because I couldn't encounter any dolphins, but I was able to see them on the second approach. Since I swim slowly, I had a hard time keeping up with everyone and was starting to give up on seeing them, but in the end, I was able to meet a pod of dolphins. Everyone mentioned seeing several sea turtles, but when I finally joined the group, there were none around, and I thought I was out of luck again, but I did manage to see one swimming by. That was great! The spam onigiri served on the boat was delicious. It was mentioned that the tip should be around 15%, and I honestly thought $20 per person was a bit tough, but the guide on the day informed us that $5 per person was acceptable, and I was happy to give that amount.

少し不安になりましたが2回目のアプローチで出会えました。特に自分は泳ぎが遅いためなかなか皆さんについていけず、自分だけ見ることができず少し諦めかけていましたが、最後の最後で群れでいるイルカと出会うことができました。ウミガメも皆さんは数匹みれたといっていましたが自分が皆さんの輪にただりついたときは全然いなくて、これまたダメかーと思いましたが一匹だけ泳いでいるのをみれました。良かった!船の上でふるまわれたスパムおにぎり、美味しかったです。チップは15%くらいとここでは書かれており1人20ドルは正直キツイなあと思っていましたが、当日のガイドさんからは1人5ドルと案内いただき5ドルならと気持ちよく渡すことができました。
Since this is America, receiving tips encourages the staff, but it's entirely up to your feelings, so there's no need to worry about the amount or payment. Thank you for your consideration. Mahalo!
アメリカですのでチップをいただくとスタッフの励みにはなりますが、くまでもお気持ちですので金額やお支払いなどなど気にされなくて大丈夫です。
お気遣いありがとうございました。
Mahalo!

We were picked up at Kings' Land in Waikoloa and taken to the venue. We rented a wetsuit ($10) and a snorkeling set (free) on-site before setting off. The boat rocked quite a bit; it swayed back and forth so much that my girlfriend got sick, which is unusual, as we were told it doesn't usually rock this much. However, the staff were very kind and accommodating! I think even those who usually do fine should definitely take motion sickness medication!
The manta rays came right up to our faces, and it was an amazing experience! It felt like they were checking in on my girlfriend, asking, "Are you okay?" which made us burst out laughing. The waves were intense, so while watching the mantas, we were lying face down, and when we returned to our usual position on the boat, I suddenly felt very seasick.
On the way back, it was quite cold even with the wetsuit on, so warm clothing is essential! The boat ride lasts about 30 minutes, and during that time, you might be shivering.
But even with that, it was the best experience! We're already talking about wanting to go see dolphins next time!
ワイコロアのキングズランドまでお迎えに来ていただき会場まで行きました。
現地でウェットスーツ(10ドル)とシュノーケルセット(無料)を借りて出発。
船はかなり揺れました、いつもはこんなに揺れないと言われるくらい縦に横に揺れて彼女は戻してしまうほど( ˊᵕˋ ;)でもスタッフの方達はかなり親切に対応して下さいました!普段大丈夫な人も酔い止め必須だと思います!
マンタは本当に顔の目の前まで来てくれて素晴らしい体験でした!!彼女に「大丈夫かー?」って言ってくれてるかのようで思わず吹き出しました。笑
波が激しかったのでマンタ見てる時はうつ伏せ状態→船に戻って普段の体制になると私も急激に酔いが回りました。
帰りはウェットスーツ来ててもかなり寒いので防寒着必須です!船は30分くらい乗るのでその間は震えます。
でもそれを差し引いても最高の体験でした!次回はイルカ行きたいねーと話しています!
Thank you for joining us. I understand it must have been tough since you experienced seasickness, but I'm glad you enjoyed the manta rays' rolling. We look forward to seeing you next time with the dolphins!
ご参加ありがとうございました。
船酔いされてしまったということで大変だったかと思いますが、マンタのローリングを楽しんでいただけて良かったです。
次回、イルカで是非おまちしております!

The boat sways quite a bit, so I recommend that those who are prone to motion sickness take medication before participating. I was grateful for the cheerful staff who provided thoughtful attention.
船が結構揺れるので、酔いやすい方は薬を飲んでから参加することをお勧めします。
スタッフの方々は明るく細かい配慮をしてくださりありがたかったです。

I was hoping to see whales jumping, but I only caught a glimpse of a tail, which was a bit disappointing. The staff were very kind, and the view from the deck was beautiful, making it a lovely cruise. The guidance was mainly in English, but there were staff members who spoke Japanese at key points, which made it easy to understand. The deck was quite windy, so it's a good idea to have something to wear. While searching for whales, the waves were high, and I took motion sickness medication, but I ended up feeling nauseous in the second half. The staff applied menthol oil, which is effective for seasickness. On the way back, I was told that I could walk to Iolani Palace, so after disembarking, I separated from the group and visited Iolani Palace and other places before taking the bus back.
クジラがジャンプする姿を期待していましたが、しっぽが少し見えたのかな?程度で少し残念でした。
スタッフの方々はとても親切で、甲板からの景色もよく素敵なクルーズでした。
基本英語での案内ですが、要所は日本語のできるスタッフの方が教えてくれわかりやすかったです。
甲板は風が強く羽織ものはあったほうがいいです。
クジラを探しながらのクルーズで波も高かったためか酔い止めを飲んでいましたが後半は酔ってしまいました。スタッフの方が船酔いに効くとメンソールオイルを塗ってくれました。
帰りには歩いてイオラニ宮殿に行けるとのことで、船を降りてから離団しイオラニ宮殿等に行きバスで帰りました。

We had an amazing time on our tour! We saw wild goats (kau) climbing along the coastline, Cassie taught us some history about Queen Ka’ahumanu, and we saw several mantas up close (hit my snorkel gear close), including Amanda and Big Bertha. We booked the small group tour and it turned out we were the only two - what luck! Would love to do it again!
Mahalo for taking the time to submit a review of your Kona Ocean Experience Sunset/Manta tour! We're so pleased to hear that you had an amazing tour, that you got to learn about some of our Hawaiian culture and history , as well as seeing mantas including 16 ft. Big Bertha! Hope you have a chance to come join us again sometime! Aloha

The sunset sail was very good, better than others I've done. Definitely wasn't live music and booking online doesn't allow for a kamaʻāina discount, once I got to the front desk I was told they did offer 25% but I couldn't get it since there wasn't a way to do it online.. 5 of us went so perhaps someone could figure that out on your end?
Otherwise the excursion itself was great even saw doplhins swim along the boat!
Aloha! We’re stoked you enjoyed your sail with us! You didn’t book the Sunset Live Music trip, hence the reason there was no live music. Also we are unable to discount a 3rd party booking but we’d be happy to take care of you next time as Kama’aina booking direct. Mahalo!

The captain and his companion were very nice answering all our questions. It was a windy day, so our family were the only ones on the boat, we saw some fishes and lots of corals, and learned some new things about different fish in Hawaii. The turtles were kond of hiding thought, but the captain made every effort on finding at least one for us, so we got to see it on the surface taking a few breaths.
Thank you,

Thank you for participating in the Pride of Maui.
A few days before your visit, larger south swells were present along the shores of Maui. As a result, the snorkeling spots on the southern coast had poor visibility, and on the day of your visit, north winds made snorkeling at Molokini Crater less than ideal.
Thanks to the captain's judgment, the Coral Gardens snorkeling location we provided was indeed the most suitable spot for that day. In the shallower areas, I believe you were able to encounter many tropical fish and green sea turtles.
We appreciate your feedback and comments as valuable insights. We hope that on your next trip, you will experience a new side of Maui.
この度はプライドオブマウイへご参加ありがとうございました。
ご参加していただいたお日にちの数日前から通常よりも大き目の南波がマウイの岸がわにでておりました。その影響で、南側の岸に面したスノーケル場所は透明度が思わしくない状況、参加日には北風が吹いていたためモロキニクレーターでのスノーケルには思わしくない状況でした。
キャプテンの判断により、ご案内したコーラルガーデンでのスノーケル場所が当日のスノーケルポイントには的確、最適な場所でした。
ポイントの浅めには数多くの熱帯魚、アオウミガメにも遭遇できたかと思います。
お客様のご意見・感想は貴重なお言葉として頂戴いたします。
次回の旅には新たなマウイの一面を感じていただけるかと思います。
