All Reviews for Marine Wildlife Encounters

You can see shipwrecks and airplanes, which is great for those who are not confident in snorkeling, as it allows you to safely view the seabed. You can also see fish clearly, and if you're lucky, you might spot sea turtles or sharks. No matter which side you sit on, the boat turns alternately, so you can get a good view of the shipwrecks and other sights!

沈没船や、飛行機を見ることが出来て、シュノーケリングに自信が無い方には安全に海底を見れるのでいいと思います。
魚もしっかり見れ、運が良ければウミガメやサメも見ることができます。
左右どちらに座っても、交互にターンしてくれるのでしっかり沈没船等は見ることが出来ました！

We only found out about this tour because we knew a local person. There’s no sign at the road near the bay as to where to turn or park. Parking cost $38 in the public beach parking area. Once you get to the parking lot, there’s no sign as to where the boat is docked or where the kiosk for the tour company is. One girl working the kiosk told us that they didn’t offer glass bottom boat tours; the kiosk name matched our reservation. The website is very unfriendly. The tour guide was good but the captain could go a bit slower when over a reef so that we unfamiliar with it can focus our eyes to see the fish.

The best thing we did in Hawaii. The manta rays were so close & there were so many. Cannot recommend enough.

The trip was only about 1/2 full so it was wonderful have plenty of room to walk about the boat. The music was also great, and happy we picked the day that has live music. There were drinks a plenty, and the food was also delicious. This is a must if your visiting Maui!

We had a fun time on our canoe adventure and snorkeling at a special area with just the 3 of us. We saw a lot of beautiful fish and our snorkel gear was great! Our guide Kai was very friendly and attentive to our safety on the canoe and in the water. It was a bit tough for us to get back into the canoe after snorkeling but he worked with us and we made it!! We thoroughly enjoyed our trip and it will be a very special memory for us all! Thank you Kai!

This team is top notch, they took us to a great location. They provided a wealth of information on mantaray's while we prepared for the event. We had so much fun.

I was very satisfied with the lucky tour filled with rainbows, sunsets, dolphins, and manta rays. I requested hotel pickup as it was included in the tour, but since most people rent cars on the Big Island, that might have been a better option. It's essential to prepare a jacket for the return boat ride, as it gets cold and chilly. I had a great time!

レインボー🌈、サンセット、ドルフィン、マンタ満載のラッキーなツアーで大満足です
ホテルでのピックアップがツアーに含まれていたのでお願いしましたが、ハワイ島はレンタカーを借りる人がほとんどなのでその方が良かったかなぁ
帰りの船の中は身体が冷えて寒くなるので上着の準備は必須ですね
楽しかったです

We had a great time paddling out to a snorkel spot, jumping overboard for a snorkel with Toa! He was a great guide and really patient with us. :-)

In our group, we were the only Japanese participants. There were also children aged 6 and 8, but having a Japanese guide was a great help. We were able to meet dolphins safely, and during snorkeling, the guide took care of the children, which made the adults feel at ease.

グループの中で日本人は私たちのみでした。
6歳、8歳の子どもも参加しましたが日本人ガイドの方がついてくれて大変助かりました。
無事イルカにも出会えましたし、シュノーケリングでもガイドの方が子どもを連れて見てくれたので大人も安心できました。

Dinner was tasty and watching the sunset over the ocean while sailing along the Maui coastline was the perfect pair.

I encountered many dolphins and sea turtles.

The plan was specifically focused on snorkeling, and I had an amazing time.

The cheeseburger for lunch was quite filling and delicious.

Thank you, Yuji, Kristen, and Jason.

沢山のイルカとウミガメに出会えました。

シュノーケリングだけに特化したプランで、めちゃくちゃ楽しめました。

ランチのチーズバーガーは結構ボリュームがあり美味しかったです。

Can I really meet Manta rays!? When I entered the sea and looked around, there were so many sea urchins, and yes, there they were! I was able to see a lot of Manta rays. At first, they swam back and forth near the seabed, and after about 10 minutes, they showed me their bellies. They really came close enough to touch. My husband was so excited that he got to touch them with his fins! I've seen sea turtles a few times, but this was the most thrilling experience. The hot chocolate was delicious!

本当にMantaに会える!？
海に入り覗くと、ウニがいっぱい、
いました、いました!たくさんのMantaに会える事ができました。最初は海底を何回か往復、あと10分くらいかな?と合図が、今度はお腹を見せてくれました。本当に手に届くところまで来てくれます。夫はヒレで触ってもらった!と、大興奮。ウミガメは何回か見たことがありますが最高に感激興奮してぃます。ホットチョコ、美味しかった!

We thoroughly enjoyed our private north shore sunset cruise. Captains Nick and Ricky were very friendly and went out of there way to make sure we had the best experience. They told us all about Hawaii, pointed out neat and interesting things along the shore and gave us a very enjoyable experience. We highly recommend!

While waiting for the manta rays to arrive, we watched the sunset offshore from the airport. For those who get seasick, this might be a bit of a challenge. Once we got into the water, the manta rays gracefully swam right beneath us. We were able to see many of them.

空港沖合で夕陽を見ながら、マンタが来るのを待ちます。
船酔いする人は、ここが少し我慢のところかな。
海に入ればマンタが、優雅に私たちの真下を泳いで通過してくれます。
何枚も見れました。

This is a tour that starts at sunset. The sunset is incredibly beautiful!

We were firmly reminded not to touch the manta rays, and after receiving some additional explanations, we dove into the sea. For the first few minutes, we couldn't see anything, and I thought maybe today would be a bust, but suddenly one appeared right in front of me. They circled around multiple times, and not just once, but several times, two of them came in a line. Although we were told not to touch them, my husband ended up getting touched by a manta ray, and we were both so excited. Our Japanese guide, Tamae, was very kind and helpful.

Since we were in the water for a long time, our bodies got cold. Renting a wetsuit was a good decision, but we didn't take it off when we returned to the boat, and we ended up freezing. It would have been better to take off the suit and wrap ourselves in towels once we got out. The hot chocolate they handed out was soothing for our chilled bodies.

I thought we would have to pay for the photos the guide was taking, but to my pleasant surprise, they sent the data directly to our phones right away.

If you rent a car, the meeting location is easy to find, so you won't have any trouble. Above all, the experience made the tour price feel very reasonable. If you come to the Big Island, you should definitely try this!

サンセットから始まるツアーです。夕日はすごい綺麗です！
マンタには絶対触れない‼️事を念を押され、その他説明を受けて海へダイブ、最初の数分は見られなくて、今日はハズレなのかなぁ〜なんて思ったらいきなり目の前に現れる。何回も旋回して目の前にも現れてくれるし、一回だけじゃなく何回も来てくれて2匹が列組んで来たり絶対に触れてはいけないと言われましたが、主人の身体にマンタの方から触れて大興奮です。日本人ガイドのタマエさんがとても親切で助かりました。
海に入っている時間が長いので身体が冷えます。ウェットスーツをレンタルして良かったけど、船に戻っても脱がなかった私達は冷え切ってしまいました。上がったらスーツは脱いでタオルにくるまっていれば良かったです。冷えた身体に配られたホットチョコはしみました。
ガイドさんが撮影していたから有料で買わされるんだろうなぁ〜と思ってましたが、データを携帯にすぐに送ってくれて、嬉しい驚きでした。
レンタカー借りていれば現地集合も場所もわかりやすいので困りません。
何よりツアー代金を安価に思わせる内容だったです。是非ハワイ島に来たら体験して下さい‼️

We learned a lot from the trainers. They gave us factual and interesting information. Dolphin and visitor safety is of the utmost importance to them.

The father and son team that run this operation and tour were outstanding, really cared for everyone and very professional.

The manta ray came right up close, almost within reach. But I held back; I mustn't touch it. It was a dream-like hour.

直ぐそこまでマンタが寄ってきて
手が届きそう。
でも我慢ガマン、触っちゃだめです。
夢の様な1時間でした。

My 3-year-old child couldn't dive into the sea yet, but I wanted to show him sea turtles and fish, so we participated. Fortunately, we were able to see sea turtles, and my son was very happy. The meeting place was a bit hard to find, but the timeshare sales staff provided detailed instructions, which was helpful.

3歳の子どもはまだ海に潜れず、でもウミガメや魚を見せてあげたいと思い参加しました。
運良くウミガメも見られて、息子も大喜びでした。
集合場所が少し分かりにくかったですが、タイムシェアの営業の方が詳しく教えてくださったので助かりました。

Excellent boat tour with six of us so essentially a private tour. The ladies were great driving the boat and spotting the whales, spinner dolphins and turtles. Was great to bring your own food and drinks on board.

This was my second time on a tour swimming with dolphins. The middle school program also has a university option, but this time I chose the middle school. The university boat is equipped with toilets, showers, and various activities, while the middle school uses a speedboat and focuses solely on snorkeling.

The middle school program has a smaller group, which made everything run smoothly and created a homey atmosphere that I really enjoyed. I was moved to see dolphins jumping from the boat. I was also thrilled when dolphins came close to us underwater. During snorkeling time, I was amazed to see so many sea turtles.

I would prefer to go with the middle school program again.

イルカと泳ぐツアーは今回で2回目でした。
イルカ中学には大学もあり、今回は中学にしました。大学の船にはトイレやシャワーとアクティビティが充実、中学はスピードボートでシュノーケル中はシュノーケルのみ。
中学は少人数なのでサクサク進みアットホームな感じで楽しかったです。
船上でもイルカが跳ねたのが見えて感動しました。水中でも近くまでイルカが来てくれて嬉しかったです。シュノーケルタイムも海亀がいっぱいいて感動しました。
私はまた中学がいいです。

I signed up because I wanted to show my grandchild dolphins and turtles, and I was able to see plenty of dolphins, plus I got to see five turtles all at once. I am very satisfied.

孫にイルカとカメを見せたくて申し込んだのですが、イルカをお腹いっぱい見ることができ、さらに亀も5枚も一度に見ることができました。
大満足です。

We caught one whale which was lucky being the end of the season!

We were pre-jittered, but for no reason as this was the calmest experience I could of imagined!

Quick and on time. Good way to see some of the sea life with young kids.

Best Crew we could have asked for. They made the experience Epic and Fun!!! Thank you for such a great night.

I was scheduled to participate in Dolphin Middle School, but it was suddenly canceled due to high waves. I transferred to Turtle University. From the boat, I could see Diamond Head and the city of Honolulu very well. I also got to meet a lot of turtles!

イルカ中学参加予定でしたが、波が高く急遽中止に。カメ大学に編入しました。ボートからはダイヤモンドヘッドやホノルルの街がよく見えました。カメさんにも沢山会えました！

The girls were wonderful. They were kind and helpful. We not only swam with amazing dolphins but snorkeled in a wonderful coral reef with sea turtles. I would highly recommend this tout

I was able to see manta rays up close, even more than I had expected. It was colder than I thought, and I got seasick, so I felt a bit unwell, but it all became a good memory.

思っていた以上にマンタを近くで見ることができました。思っていたより寒く、船酔いをしたので体調的にはしんどかったですがそれも含めて良い思い出になりました。

It was the last day of whale season, but many whales came out, and I was moved to see so many whales off the coast of Waikiki, something I had never known before.

クジラシーズンの最終日でしたが。たくさんクジラが出てきてくれて、ワイキキ沖でこんなにクジラが見れるのをいままで全く知らず感動です。
