西オアフで体験するパワースポット&シュノーケリングツアー＜日本語ガイド兼インストラクター／送迎付き＞

This tour is highly recommended! 本当にお勧めのツアーです❗

Reviewed by: でこぴょん

This was my fifth time in Hawaii, but my first experience snorkeling in West Oahu. I really felt lucky to be able to join this tour, as I wanted to visit Yokohama Bay. It had been a while since I swam, so I was a bit worried and hesitantly signed up for snorkeling, but after listening to the thorough explanations, we swam from the beach, which made it completely enjoyable without any anxiety. While listening to various explanations from the knowledgeable Akima, we toured power spots, and the wonderful scenery of the natural and quiet West Oahu, different from Waikiki and North Shore, was truly moving. We took an astonishing number of photos, and I feel like my husband and I will have a lot to talk about when we return home. I highly recommend this tour!

今回は5回目のハワイでしたが、始めての西オワフでシュノーケリングも初体験。ヨコハマベイに行ってみたいと思い、このツアーに参加できたことは本当にラッキーでした。泳ぎが久しぶりで心配でもあり恐る恐る申し込みしたシュノーケリングでしたが、しっかりと説明を聞いてから海岸から泳いでいくものでしたので、全く不安なく楽しめました。知識豊富なあきまさんから色々な説明を聞きながらパワースポットを巡ったり、ワイキキやノースショア、東オワフとはまた違った、自然のままの静かな西オワフの素晴らしい景色は感動ものです。写真もびっくりするくらいの枚数を撮っていただいて、帰国してからも主人と思い出話しに花が咲きそうです。本当にお勧めのツアーです！

I only saw a dolphin for a moment, and I didn't get to meet any turtles at the snorkeling spot... what a shame! I guess it's just the nature of dealing with wild animals. I'll try again for a revenge trip! I'm grateful for the cheerful staff and their thoughtfulness♪

I participated in a tour that started at 11:00. I received a call about the pickup 30 minutes before, which left a good impression. They arrived on time, and we were able to depart. After setting sail on the boat, we searched for dolphins, but there weren't large groups, and those who saw them had very little time, which was disappointing. Since I didn't see any dolphins, I received a coupon for 50% off for my next visit on the way back. My family also enjoyed it, so I would like to participate again when I come to Hawaii next time.

11時開始のツアーに参加しました。
お迎え30分前にホテルにお迎え予定の電話があり好印象。
時刻通り迎えがあり、出発出来ました。
船で出船後、イルカを捜しましたが大きな群れは無く、見れた人、時間も少しで残念でした。
イルカが見れなかったので帰りに次回50%offで使用できるクーポンをもらいました。
家族にも好評でしたので、次回ハワイへ来たらまた参加したいと思いました。

3-Hour West Coast Snorkel Cruise & Marine Life Safari by Dolphin Excursions

Em, Jenna and Paul- AMAZING!

Reviewed by: Danielle

Our experience from start to finish was exceptional! The shuttle ride started with a wonderful ride from Emanual- she was friendly and conversational, making our time feel like it was spent with a friend. She was knowledgeable about the Island and told us interesting things. She suggested we rent a car and we did- the next day! Thanks Em so worth it! On the boat Em and Captain Jenna were wonderful. Our teenager got a little sick but they didn't give up on her, with their words of encouragement and support we set sail. Our 8 year old was afraid and because of you two ladies she got in and snorkeled with an 80year old turltle. Words can express that magic of that experience! We are eagerly anticipating the pictures photographer Paul took. Your attention to detail and obvious dedication to your craft is remarkable. Thank you team dolphin excursion for loving what you do and sharing that with my family. Mahalo!

野生のイルカウォッチング＆ウミガメシュノーケリングクルーズ　たっぷり3時間のシュノーケルで満喫 ＜ランチ＆アルコール2杯付き／送迎付きor現地集合＞

It was fun. 楽しかった

Reviewed by: ともこ

The cheerful guide, who was a second-generation Japanese-American captain, mostly had foreign guests, but afterwards, he kindly interpreted for the Japanese customers, making it easy to understand. The boat was a yacht type, allowing us to fully enjoy the resort atmosphere. After seeing dolphins, I was delighted to spot sea turtles swimming at a depth of about 10 meters during snorkeling. There was not enough time during lunchtime, so a lot of food was left over, which felt wasteful. It's better to start eating right after snorkeling. I was shocked to find that other coupons offered the same tour at a lower price than what I had booked, but the tour itself was very good, so I highly recommend it!

日系２世の船長さんの陽気なガイドで、お客さんはほとんど外国人の方でしたが、そのあと日本人客向けに丁寧に通訳してくださり、よくわかりました。
船もヨットタイプでリゾート気分満喫。
イルカを見たあと、シュノーケリング場所では水深10メートル程のところに海亀も泳いでいるのが見えて嬉しかったです。
ランチタイムは時間が少ないので沢山食べ物が余ってしまって勿体なかったです。シュノーケリングが終わったらすぐに食べはじめたほうがいいです。
他のクーポンで同じ内容のツアーが自分が予約したものより安くなっててショックを受けましたが、ツアー自体はとても良かったのでお勧めです❗

I recommend it. おススメです。

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I think it's great for those who have gotten tired of Waikiki. There are hardly any Japanese people around, so you can truly experience the local vibe. On this day, we were lucky to see four sea turtles. If you have specific places you want to visit or dislike making various stops, it seems that private tours are available, so please inquire with the tour company. Personally, I thought it might have been better to go with a private tour. You wouldn't have to worry about others. There are also many places to see in West Oahu lately, so if you go private, I think they can help you with various consultations. The service is very good.
*No need to worry if you can't swim.
*Pack light.
*Use a waterproof camera.
*Bring cash for tips and lunch, calculated to the minimum.
*Wear your swimsuit.
*Beach sandals are okay. If you have sea shoes, that's best. (Bring your own beach sandals)
I hope this is helpful.

ワイキキに飽きてしまった人には良いと思います。日本人は全くいません。完全なロコを味わえます。この日はラッキーで、ウミガメが4匹もいました。回りたいところがピンポイントで決まっている方や、色々ストップするのが嫌な方など、ワガママツアーにしたい方は貸切もあるそうなので、ツアー会社に問い合わせてみて下さい。個人的には貸切にした方が良かったかな、と思いました。他の方に気を使わなくて済みますしね。西オアフも色々と見るところが最近あるので、貸切であれば、色々と相談に乗ってもらえると思います。対応はとても良いです。
※泳げなくても心配いりません。

Not understanding English reduces the fun by half. 英語がわからないと楽しさ半減

Reviewed by: カリン

There are Japanese staff members, but the basic staff members are English speakers, so if you don't understand English, you might feel left out. I thought it might have been better to have more university-related staff.

When boarding the boat, it's better to sit in the open back so you can participate in various activities and enjoy yourself.

I applied for photos, but you won't get photographed unless you actively ask for it. During the time to enjoy activities, make sure to go and say, "Please take my picture!"

Many people were feeling seasick. It was nice weather, though. The motion sickness wristbands I bought on the pickup bus were expensive, but I believe they helped my daughters and me not to get sick! Our family usually has a weak constitution.

日本人のスタッフの方もいますが、基本英語のスタッフの方々が楽しい会話をしていますので、英語がわからないと置いてけぼり感を感じます。

West Coast Explorer - Land Tour & Beach Snorkel (from Ko Olina / Waikiki)

Great tour of the picturesque, less touristy west side of Oahu

Reviewed by: Lorna and Tammy

Bob and Akima picked us up at 7.25 am outside Hawaiian Prince Hotel, then picked up 2 other groups of 3 making 8 of us. We drove out of Waikiki for around 20 mins with interesting commentary about Hawaii from Akima before reaching our first stop - a beautiful picturesque beach where it"s possible to see dolphins. Akima spoke Japanese so stayed with the 6 Japanese people leaving Bob to me and my friend. Bob told us a lot about the area and if you want to know more about surfing then Bob's your man. We then moved on to a small group of shops where we bought items for our picnic lunch later.
We next went to a Kaneana,(Makua cave) a very old sea cave with many legends attached to it. Bob was a great storyteller telling us about the legend of the shapeshifter shark man of Makua cave. Then you can explore the cave a bit if you dare!
Next we stopped at the stunning Makaha valley which again has a great legend associated with it and looks like scenery from Kong Island or Jurassic Park.
We were really lucky driving to our next spot as Bob spotted a rare Monk Seal basking on the rocks.
A couple more lovely spots then time for our lunch at Ku'ilioloa Heiau, and then the snorkelling at Pokai Bay. First Bob checked our swimming ability then gave us mask,snorkel and fins plus a life vest. Bob is very patient and stays with you all the time gently encouraging you to explore the sealife. I'm not confident snorkelling but felt very safe with Akima and Bob. We saw corals, beautiful colourful fish and 2 sea turtles.
It was a really great day which we would definitely recommend to anyone wishing to see a much less touristy authentic side of Oahu, the scenery is just beautiful and excellent snorkelling. Many thanks to Akima and Bob who made our day special.

家族！！ Family ！！

Reviewed by: きんちゃん

We participated as a family of four. It was August, and all participants wore bodysuits. Those who were worried about seasickness purchased seasickness bands (for both wrists). Our family also took seasickness medication, but we wanted to enjoy ourselves, so we bought the bands. (Those without bands seemed to struggle with nausea!) We put on our snorkeling gear and jumped into the sea, following the person in front of us. We were lucky to swim with "dolphins," "sea turtles," and "fish" right away. After playing, we had lunch on the boat with hamburgers and fruit, and there was also a hula dance with the staff. Since we had signed up for photos ($60) on the bus ride there, we got to take commemorative pictures with the captain in the ship's upper control room, which made for great memories!

Discovering the unknown Oahu! 知らないオアフを知る！

Reviewed by: Hiro

The tour didn't have the usual delays in pickup. Instead, the instructor greeted us with a big smile and kind assistance, which made me confident that this tour would be great. The tour itself was rich in knowledge and experience, allowing us to learn a wide range of facts about Hawaii, including trivia. It wasn't just a simple "go to a place, swim, and come back" tour; it included myths related to caves and snorkeling points, making it a tour that deepens your understanding of Hawaii. Why not give it a try?

ツアーにありがちなピックアップが遅れる…。そんなこともなく、インストラクターが満面の笑顔と親切な対応で、出迎えていただきこのツアーは大丈夫と確信いたしました。
ツアー自体も、ガイド知識と経験が豊富で、ハワイの知識(雑学も含めて)を幅広く学べるものでした。単なる「場所に行って泳いで帰る」というツアーではなく、洞窟にまつわる神話やシュノーケリングポイントなどなど、ハワイに対してまた一段と造形深くなるツアーです。一度ご参加されてみてはいかがでしょうか。

3-Hour West Coast Snorkel Cruise & Marine Life Safari by Dolphin Excursions

Dolphin swim

Reviewed by: Debra Cooper

This activity was okay. It was hard to see the dolphins when they did swim near us underwater because we had to wear life vests which kept us at the surface. The snorkeling in this side of the island(at least the part we were taken to)is not as good as other parts. The crew was nice and the food at the restaurant was good. I was not happy that one of our fellow passengers took one of our beach towels. They belonged to the condo we were staying in and I had to replace it.

Mediocre dolphin snorkel

Reviewed by: Sarah

We never found any dolphins, so we just snorkeled in the exact same location twice.

We were also required to wear life vests, which is unusual compared to most other excursions we've been on.

Ate lunch at 3:00 and off the boat.

Not the "speed raft" adrenaline adventure we were hoping for.

Reviewed by: tamuranmiki

I thought I wouldn't be able to communicate in Japanese when I joined the tour, but it turned out that the guide was a Japanese American, so they kindly provided explanations in Japanese! Since there are many Japanese people in Hawaii, it was refreshing to be on a tour with fewer Japanese participants.

I had my 1.5-year-old child with me, and they were thrilled to see the dolphins. I thought I would have to take turns snorkeling with my husband, but surprisingly, we were able to swim with our child in water deeper than 10 meters. (My husband isn't a strong swimmer, so I went in with them, haha.)

It's recommended to bring a life jacket since even small children can join in. The waves can be high, so if you're not a strong swimmer, it might be better not to go in with small children.

日本語が通じないと思ってツアーに参加したら、なんとガイドの方が日系アメリカ人ということで、日本語での説明も丁寧にして下さいました！ハワイにいると日本人が多いので、日本人が少ないツアーだったのも新鮮でした。

子供が1歳6ヶ月同伴でしたが、イルカに大はしゃぎ。シュノーケリングは夫と交代でやらないといけないと思っていたのですが、なんと水深10メートル以上のところで、子供と泳がせてもらいました。（夫は泳ぐのが苦手なので、私が一緒に入りました笑）

小さいお子様でも一緒に入れるので、ライフジャケットは持って行っておくのがオススメです！波が高いので、泳ぐのが苦手という方は、小さいお子様とは一緒に入らない方がよいかもしれません。

I couldn't meet the dolphins, but I had a great time. Since I had been learning hula dancing, I was really happy that they danced hula on the boat. It was also nice that they kept the atmosphere lively while we were searching for dolphins, allowing us to enjoy our time on board. After coming out of the water, some people were shivering in the wind, so I was glad I borrowed a wetsuit, but it was a bit tight, and it became uncomfortable after spending a long time on the boat. I regretted not getting a larger size. I wonder if someone brought bananas on board? I'll try again next time.

西オアフで体験するパワースポット&シュノーケリングツアー＜日本語ガイド兼インストラクター／送迎付き＞

If you're looking for a tour in West Oahu, this is the place! 西オアフのツアーなら、ここです！

Reviewed by: ツノダシ

I had been wanting to visit West Oahu, but I hesitated because the guidebook mentioned a lot of car break-ins and that the area wasn't very safe. Then I found out about this tour.

In the end, it was a great decision to participate in this tour. I highly recommend it. The group was small, with just two couples including my spouse and me, which was perfect for those who want to enjoy the tour at their own pace.

With Akima as our Japanese guide, we learned about the history of West Oahu, the traces of Tahitians who are said to have landed there, and the sacred cave of KANEANA, which sparked our imagination about Hawaii's history.

For lunch, we enjoyed a relaxed atmosphere at a park by the beach where locals were having barbecues, and we had our lunch in the shade of trees. It felt like we were locals for a moment.

The beach was not crowded, and we could enjoy snorkeling at our leisure while locals jumped into the sea and did stand-up paddleboarding. The water was clear, and while there weren't an overwhelming number of fish, we did see a few, including a honu napping on the seabed.

The couple we toured with mentioned they had participated in various tours, but they were excited and said, "This is the kind of tour we like."

Next time, I would like Akima to guide us around the entire island of Oahu.

西オアフに行ってみたいと思っていましたがガイドブックでは車上荒らしが多く治安がよくないと書かれており躊躇していたところ、このツアーがあることを見つけました。
結果、参加して大変よかったツアーです。おすすめのツアーです。
参加は少人数で、当日は私たち夫婦含めて２組、穏やかに自分のペースでツアーに参加したいという方には丁度よい人数です。
アキマさんの日本語ガイドで、西オアフの歴史やタヒチアンが上陸されたとされる痕跡やKANEANAの神聖な洞窟の案内は、ハワイの歴史の想像をかきたてるものでした。
ランチは、ローカルの人がバーベキューを楽しんだりゆったりした雰囲気のビーチ前の公園で、木陰でランチタイム。ローカルの人になった気分を味わえました。
ローカルの人が海に飛び込んだり、スタンドアップパドルをしたり思い思いに楽しんでいるビーチは混雑もなく、シュノーケリングをゆったり楽しめました。海は透明度が高く、魚はあふれるほどいる、というほどではありませんが、フヌフヌプクプクアプアアや海底で昼寝をしているホヌもみれました。
ツアーにご一緒したご夫婦もいろんなツアーに参加されていらっしゃるとのことでしたが、「こういうツアーがいい」と興奮しておられました。
今度は、アキマさんにオアフ島一周を案内してもらいたいと思っています。

I was able to see both dolphins and sea turtles! イルカもウミガメも見れました！

Reviewed by: たけたけ

I was able to see wild dolphins swimming in a pod for the first time. I also got to see sea turtles up close in the water... it was moving. The hamburger for lunch was delicious too!

The group I joined consisted entirely of Japanese customers. Perhaps because of that, a Japanese female crew member was there from the pickup, which made me feel at ease. I participated at the end of June, and since it was quite windy, I followed the advice of the Japanese female crew member and borrowed a wetsuit over my rash guard. As a result, the water temperature was comfortable, and I didn't feel too cold while on the boat.

By the way, it might be good to have a chamois towel (which you can use to wipe off most of the moisture and can be reused if you wring it out towards the sea) and a dry beach towel (to use as much as possible without getting wet, draping it over your back) with you. The air conditioning on the return bus is strong too...

初めて野生のイルカが群れをなして泳ぐところを見ることができました。ウミガメも海の中で、至近距離で見ることができ・・・感動。
ランチのハンバーガーも美味しかったです！

私が参加したグループは日本人のお客さんばかりでした。それもあってか？日本人女性のクルーがピックアップの時点からいてくださっていて、安心でした。
参加したのは6月末ですが、風が強かったこともあり、日本人女性クルーのアドバイスに従ってラッシュガードの上からさらにウェットスーツを借りて着ました。結果、海の水温もそれで心地よく、船上に上がっている時もあまり寒くありませんでした。
ちなみに、セームタオル一本（これで主な水分を拭き取る。海に向かって絞れればまた使えるので便利）と、乾いたビーチタオル（なるべく最後まで濡らさず背中にかけたりして使う）があると良いかもしれません。
帰りのバスも、冷房が強いですので・・・。

イルカと触れ合えるほど近くでは見れず、遠くに数匹程度ずつ見えたという感じだったので（これは自然相手でタイミングなのかもしれませんが）少し残念でした。
ただ、そのほか全体通して、ランチでボート上でのランチやシュノーケリングでウミガメを見れたりなど楽しい時間をすごすことができました。

I was moved to see a pod of dolphins and sea turtles, and the cheerful crew made the experience enjoyable on board! I was very grateful that they also took care of my 4-year-old daughter, who was scared of the ocean and stayed on the boat, and she had a great time too!

イルカの群れにも海亀にも会えて感動した他、陽気なクルーの皆様が盛り上げて楽しませてくれたので船上でも楽しく過ごせました！海を怖がり船に残った4歳の娘の面倒も見て頂けてとてもありがたかったし娘も楽しめました！

3-Hour West Coast Snorkel Cruise & Marine Life Safari by Dolphin Excursions

Snorkeling with dolphins and fish

Reviewed by: VScott

I'll start with the positive.

The crew is young and enthusiastic. Everyone had smiles and was helpful with the gear.

This is a great excursion for tourists and beginner snorkelers. Great vivews of the Eastern part of the island and a pleasant swim with sea life. The crew teaches everyone how to use the equipment and will help people in the water. They spend about 20 minutes at each site so, for experienced snorkelers, it can be a little dull.

The hotel pickup was on time and the driver was good. The van is new and the ride was smooth.

You will be visiting with Spinner Dolphins. They are small dolphin and swim in pods of 30. The captain knows their favorite spots and will make sure you get to swim with them. By law, you will need to be wearing a life jacket to do this part of the swim. We got to see two pods. It was delightful. This tour company was knowledgeable about dolphins and is conerned with their safety.

We stopped at two more snorkeling locations. The fist stop was a small cove and the second had turtles.

The lunch at the Spinner cafe was good. I had the breakfast burrito and it was tasty and well prepared. The menu is small but the portions are big. The pancakes looked really good.

The reason for my 3 stars is not the quality of the company but an incident I had. The crew should be better trained in basic fist aid. I ended up treating myself with the supplies I keep in my bag. After asking if I was okay, no one helped or checked on my for the rest of the trip.

I would recommend this for people visiting Ohau and beginner snorkelers.

西オアフで体験するパワースポット&シュノーケリングツアー＜日本語ガイド兼インストラクター／送迎付き＞

I highly recommend it!!!!!!! おすすめです！！！！！！

Reviewed by: Ｋａｙｏ

In conclusion, it was incredibly fun!!!!!!!

This was my first solo trip abroad. I was looking for an optional tour to go snorkeling and discovered this tour. It was my second time in Hawaii, and I had seen quite a few sites mentioning that the west side could be dangerous, so I hadn’t researched it for my first visit. But when I found out there was a tour that would take us to the west side, I quickly made a reservation. Of course, since I was participating alone, I had some anxiety, but the moment I met our guide Akima, all my worries disappeared.

This time, there was a Japanese couple, and in addition to them, there were also some international participants (I couldn't identify their countries...), so perhaps that’s why two guides, Akima and a man named Bob, were with us. I regretted not studying English properly, as I could have talked with Bob and the others if I could speak it.

Akima explained various things in an interesting and easy-to-understand manner, including legends and the origins of power spots, as well as Hawaii's history, the mindset of the Hawaiian people, their way of life, and current situations, sometimes in a quiz format. This made the time spent in the car and during sightseeing enjoyable. In fact, I wanted to ask even more questions.

Regarding snorkeling, it was disappointing that I didn’t get to see a turtle (only Bob found one, but it was deeper in the water, so we couldn’t see it from the surface, haha). However, I had fun touching a sea urchin and having it placed on my head (of course, Akima gently returned it to the sea), and I got to see fish that can only be found in Hawaii. I thought I’d like to be able to do some free diving, even if it’s not full-on.

Oh, I learned that while the west side wasn’t safe over ten years ago, that’s not the case anymore in recent years.

I definitely want to request other tours, like a private tour, next time! It would be fun to go hiking together too♪

I look forward to it again!!!

結論から言うと、めちゃめちゃ面白かったです！！！！！

今回、初めて海外へのひとり旅でした。
１日はオプショナルツアーでシュノーケリングしたいなと探していたところ、このツアーを発見。
ハワイは２回目で、西は危ないと書かれているサイトもけっこう見かけていたので１回目は調べもしていなかったのですが、西に連れて行ってくれるツアーあるんだ♪ってことでさっそく予約。
もちろんひとり参加だったので多少の不安はあったのですが、ガイドのあきまさんにお会いした瞬間、その不安はなくなりました。

今回は日本人のご夫婦がいらっしゃって、それ以外に海外の方(国はわかりませんでしたが、、、)も参加されており、そのためかBobさんという男性とあきまさんのお二人がガイドしてくれました。英語がしゃべれたらその方やBobさんともお話できたんだけどなぁと、英語をちゃんと勉強していかなかったことを悔やみました。

パワースポットについての伝説や名前の由来などはもちろん、ハワイの歴史やハワイの方々の考え方、暮らし、状況など、いろいろなことをあきまさんが面白くわかりやすく、ときにクイズ形式で説明していただけるので、車に乗っている間も観光中も満喫できました。
というか、まだまだいろいろ聞いていたかったぐらいです。

シュノーケルについては、カメに会えなかったのは残念でしたが(Bobさんだけ見つけてましたが、海の下のほうだったので海面にいた私たちには見えませんでした笑）、ウニを触ったり頭に乗っけてもらったり（もちろん、丁寧にあきまさんが海に戻しておりました）、ハワイにしかいない魚が見られたりと、楽しかったです。
フリーダイビングまではいかなくても、ある程度の素潜りできるようになりたいと思いましたね～。

あ、西は１０年以上前は治安がよくはなかったが、近年はそのようなことはないとのことです。

ぜひ、次回はプライベートツアーなど他のツアーもお願いしたいです！
ハイキングとかもご一緒できたら楽しそうです♪

またぜひよろしくお願い致します！！！
