All Reviews for Marine Wildlife Encounters

Kids enjoying the toys that the boat had to offer, lunch was delish, and we got to see plenty of different sea life! A win all around for the family-- not to mention great price point.

Smaller boat which we liked a lot compared to our past experiences, food was a delish balance to splashing around the water!

The journey to get there and the actual submarine experience were both valuable and incredibly fun. The explanations were mostly in English. I was able to save the Japanese audio data in advance, but I think it would be more enjoyable to listen to the live English explanations on-site.

行くまでの道中も実際の潜水艦も貴重な体験でとっても楽しかったです。基本的には英語での解説でした。事前に日本語音声データを保存できましたが聴きながらではなくその場の英語の解説がより楽しめると思います。

I was able to see dolphins on both dives! During the first dive, I couldn't see them up close, but they arranged another opportunity for me, and this time I was able to see them at close range. In the end, they guided us to a spot where we could see many turtles, and it was a very satisfying tour. By the way, it can get quite bumpy, so motion sickness medication is a must.

2回のイルカdiveで、両方イルカを見ることができました！初回のdiveであまり近く見れなかったのですが、もう一度機会を設けてくださり今度は至近距離で見ることができました。最後はたくさんのカメが見れるスポットまで案内してくださり大満足のツアーでした。
ちなみに結構揺れるので酔い止めは必須です。

I participated with the goal of doing a dolphin swim. On the day of the event, I was able to complete both programs: ① dolphin swim and ② snorkeling in shallow waters.

All the staff members were kind, polite, and dedicated. Since there were Japanese staff members, I had no worries during the explanations. This is one of the best activities among the many available in Hawaii!

ドルフィンスイムを目標として参加致しました。
当日は、
①ドルフィンスイム②浅瀬でのシュノーケリング
というプログラムで、①については確率にはなりますが、①.②ともクリアできました。

スタッフのみなさん全員親切丁寧で全力です。
日本人のスタッフさんもいる為、説明の際の不安等は不要でした。
らハワイでの数あるアクティビティの中でも最高のアクティビティです◎

The evening manta ray tour was amazing!! Crew was great, Trevor, Scott, Mitch were all top notch. Diego? Well, okay, he was great too! Ha! Seriously, fun crew, AMAZING manta rays, once-in-a-lifetime experience. Thanks!

Great experience, fun crew! Everyone in our group loved it and if the opportunity ever presents itself we'd do it again!

I was able to see two types of dolphins and whales. The staff were very accommodating, and I truly enjoyed myself. I highly recommend it.

２種類のイルカとクジラにも会えました。
スタッフの対応もよく心から楽しめました。
オススメです。

Snorkeling and scuba diving can be quite challenging, so I participated in a submarine tour where I could easily see the fish underwater. The water was very clear, and I could see the fish gathering around the reefs well. It was a highly satisfying tour.

シュノーケリングやスキューバダイビングはハードルが高いので、気軽に海中の魚を見ることができる潜水艦ツアーに参加しました。海水の透明度が高く漁礁に集まる魚が良く見え、満足感の高いツアーでした。

It was a day without a Japanese guide, but I still had a great time.

I got to see manta rays up close, which was amazing.

The service at Dolphin University in Honolulu, where there was a Japanese guide, was much better, so compared to that, it was a bit disappointing.

日本人ガイドがいない日でしたが、楽しめました

マンタがすごく近くで見れて最高

ホノルルの日本人ガイドがいたイルカ大学の方がサービスはかなり良かったので、そこと比べてしますと少し残念

We were a bit nervous about being in the water at night, but not to worry as the guides make the whole evening experience comfortable!

It was such a fabulous and unreal experience, the scared part left my body right when we started seeing the rays as they are so gentle!

Amazing experience , great crew. We were able to see 3 turtles which make it so special the tour

Crew was entertaining and extremely helping in making the trip safe and fun, wil book again on our next trip

Great tour guide, was funny and knowledgeable. Only problem was that the waters were murky from the waves at the time so weren’t able to see anything through the glass but we did see a turtle in the water. Was nice to be out on the boat.

Despite the mistake on their part, they responded sincerely, and I was able to participate without any issues. Additionally, a young male staff member talked a lot to my companion, who was feeling seasick, helping to distract them. The other staff members were also cheerful and considerate, leaving a very good impression. I had the rare experience of swimming closely with dolphins and turtles. Thank you very much!!

こちらにミスがあったにも関わらず、真摯に対応してくださり、無事参加することができました。
また、船酔いしてしまった連れに、若い男性スタッフがたくさん話しかけてくださり、気を逸らせてくれました。他のスタッフさんも明るく、気遣いしてくださり、大変好印象でした。
イルカやカメと間近で泳ぐことができ、一生のうちにそうない経験をすることができました。
ありがとうございました！！

I was able to see wild dolphins swimming and jumping nearby! I also got to see turtles up close, which was an amazing experience! The staff were kind and provided a fun and enjoyable guide!

野生のイルカが近くで泳いでいる様子や、飛び跳ねている様子を見ることができました！カメも近くでみることができ、最高の体験でした！スタッフの皆さんも優しく楽しくガイドしてくれました！

My 8 year old grandson was taught by Mitch how to snorkel so he could enjoy the manta rays. The grandkids
said it was awesome and I agree! It’s a must to do. The crew was extremely professional and safety conscious.

If you're going to Sea Life Park, I definitely recommend experiencing the interaction with the dolphins. The dolphins warmly welcome everyone. This time, I met Grandma Laka (the dolphin) together with my child.

Sea Life Parkに行くなら、イルカとの触れあいは是非体験されるのが良いと思います。
イルカは皆を優しく迎えてくれます。今回は子どもと一緒に、ラカおばあちゃん（イルカ）に会いました。

We were very happy and thankful we decided to go with this semi private tour! Both captains, Shanti and Lauren, were so knowledgeable and friendly. We will definitely be choosing them again in our future trips!

It was a fabulous cruise with a great crew, food, music snd drinks!

Was it fully booked on the day? There were a lot of people on board. The guides (Ken and two others whose names I forgot, I'm sorry...) were very kind and it was a lot of fun!

I was very satisfied to encounter dolphins on the first try, but on the second try, there were dolphins everywhere I looked, and I got to see them swimming close to the surface as well as underwater! The guides mentioned that it was a very lucky experience, exceeding our expectations!

After that, we also saw sea turtles, making it an incredibly satisfying tour! My dream of swimming with dolphins came true! Although it felt more like watching than swimming, haha. Thank you very much!

当日は満席？でたくさんの方が乗っていました。
ガイドの方たち(ケンさんとあとお2人お名前忘れてしまいました、、すみません。。)とても親切で楽しかったです！
1回目からイルカに遭遇できとてもまんぞくしてたのですが、2回目はどの方向を見てもイルカだらけで間近で水面を泳いでる姿も水中で泳いでる姿も見れました！！
期待以上の出来事でとてもラッキーな事だとガイドさんもお話されてました！！
その後は海亀も見れて大大大満足なツアーでした！
イルカと泳ぐ夢が叶いました！泳ぐというより見る感じですが笑
ありがとうございました！！

The submarine was really fun! The window views were a bitf oggy the day we went, but to be underwater was cool all around.

faced our fears and loved the experience, the team was great at getting us comfortable in deeper ocean water.

Really wonderful experience, crew was knowledgeable, and we got to see a cute family with a baby!

The clear water in Maui was so nice and we saw so many local island fishy!

Too many people for the size of the boat. Hot dogs (what can I say). Afternoon is a snorkel near to the coast that is accessible from shore (not their fault except the say they will try to go to Molikini when there is zero chance in the afternoon). Best advice is to get up early if you really want a good snorkel experience and find a boat the is not so crowded.

Waking up early and heading to the port! They provide explanations in both English and Japanese on the boat. With Minako-san there, Japanese participants feel very at ease!
We participated as a pair and took motion sickness medication before joining! We enjoyed ourselves without feeling seasick, but there were some who couldn't enjoy snorkeling because they got sick, so I think it's better to take motion sickness medication!
We encountered dolphins right after departing! We had a great dolphin watching experience!
After that, we went further in to swim and found more dolphins! I have snorkeling experience, but my partner does not! They said it was fine to just observe on the first trip, but we jumped right in!
No problem at all! Even beginners receive thorough explanations and are guided in the water, so there's nothing to worry about!
We were able to see wild dolphins underwater! After that, we had planned for a second trip, but...
We couldn't match with the dolphins easily, as they are wild. In the end, we went to the shallow area for snorkeling! So, it's better to meet the dolphins while you can! Since it's nature and wild, don't miss your chance!
There are warm water showers on the boat, and you can change in the restroom, so bring something easy to change into, like a warm hoodie! It's cold!
Even with hot drinks, it's still chilly!
Card payments are accepted, so cash is mainly for tips!
Overall, it was so much fun that I definitely want to participate again!

早起きして港へー！車内でも英語と日本語で説明をしてくれます。みなこさんが居てくれるので日本人もとっても安心！
私たち2人で参加しましたが、酔い止め服用し参戦！最後まで酔うことなく楽しめましてが、酔ってしまいシュノーケルを楽しめない方もいたので酔い止め服用した方が良いと思います！
出港してすぐにイルカに遭遇！バッチリイルカウォッチングできました！
その後泳ぐ為に奥の方まで行き、イルカ発見！私はシュノーケル経験あり！相方はなし！1便では無理しないで見学でも良いと言われましたが、1便からざぶーん！と！
問題ないです！初心者でも丁寧な説明や海でもリードしてくれるので問題なし！
野生のイルカを海中で見ることができました！その後2便予定が…
イルカとなかなかマッチできず、野生ですからね。結局そのまま浅瀬に行きシュノーケル！なので1便で！とりあえず会えるうちイルカにあっとく方が良いです！自然なので野生なので、チャンス逃がさないでください！
船内で温水シャワーあり、着替えもトイレで可能なので簡易に着替えられるもの持ち込んで、パーカーなどあたたかい服装を！寒いです！ww
ホットドリンク飲んでも寒いです！
カード利用可能なので現金はチップとしてだす人くらいです！
とりあえずまた参加したいくらい楽しかったです！

I can't recommend this trip enough. We had a fantastic boating experience, the snorkeling was wonderful and the crew was the best. They went above and beyond and really worked to make the experience a special one. And the food was excellent, too. My wide and I had truly amazing time.

I participated alone, and this tour is definitely worth joining. It's about a 2-hour tour, but you can see a variety of fish and turtles up close through the glass, and the time passes so quickly because the content is so rich. From the dock, you board a boat and then switch to a submarine in the middle of the sea, which was an exciting experience climbing in and out of the submarine via a ladder. I had prepared a Japanese audio guide in advance, but I was too busy observing the mysterious underwater scenery in front of me to listen. Many participants were families, and the children were delighted. You can have a great time even if you participate alone.

ひとりで参加しました　このツアーは参加する価値大です　約2時間のツアーですが多品種の魚や亀をガラス越しまじかで見ることができ時間はあっという間に過ぎてしまうくらい内容が濃いツアーです　船着き場から船に乗り途中の海上で船から潜水艦に乗り換え潜水艦内に梯子で出入りする体験もわくわく感があって楽しかったです　録音する日本語ガイドも事前に用意しておきましたが
目の前に映る神秘的な海底の様子を観察することに忙しく聴くことはありませんでした　参加者は家族連れが多く子供達は喜んでいました　ひとりで参加しても十分楽しめます
