Very memorable experience. We enjoyed it and would go again, they do not teach you how to snorkel so I would look up tutorials before you go. Just so you can get more out of it. They have a photographer on board that takes pictures you can pay for.

The staff was amazing, but for money, this was just ok for us. We spent 2 hours cruising the ocean looking for whales. We did not see any, but did see some dolphins and a sea turtle. I was under the impression that the boat would be a catamaran, and would have some areas to sit, relax, and watch. But, apparently on certain days, the Disney resort uses that boat and so we took a boat normally used for scuba diving out. There was not much seating that allowed for you to view the ocean and watch for whales, so basically we stood the whole 2 hours on some pretty choppy water. They had some snacks and refreshments which my son enjoyed, but about an hour in he was pretty bored. Again, the staff was awesome, but the experience as a whole I probably would not do again. They did give us a voucher to return for free. We will see.

This was my second time participating in the dolphin tour, and during the last one in summer, I saw many more dolphins! It was also quite cold, as everyone had to rent wetsuits! There were quite a few people who looked uncomfortable because they got seasick.
However, this time we were able to see many honu (turtles) down below. The staff worked hard to keep everyone engaged and excited. It's a fun tour if you don't get seasick, so taking motion sickness medication is a must!
イルカツアーの参加は2回目で前回は夏でしたが、夏の方がたくさんのイルカが見られました!あとは全員の方がウェットスーツを借りていたくらい寒かったです!酔ってしまって終始辛そうな方も結構な人数いました。
ただ今回は下の方でしたがホヌ(亀)がたくさん見ることができました。

It's a natural occurrence, so there's nothing that can be done, but I couldn't meet the dolphins on this day... There was a large turtle, though. The staff were bright and friendly. I'm really, really disappointed. I think it would be nice if they could consider a partial refund if we can't meet the dolphins. It's not about the money, but about the feelings.
自然のことだからしょうがないけど、この日はイルカさんには出会えませんでした…。

I encountered such a large pod of dolphins for the first time!
There were so many dolphins!
There were also sea turtles hiding among the rocks.
I was thrilled to even see a whale.
The crew, including Kata, were all having fun while working, which was fantastic.
Actually, I did experience some seasickness, which made things tough, and if it weren't for that, I could have enjoyed lunch~ (゜ロ゜;
But I was able to enjoy it properly later.
It was really great.

Aloha!
I have visited Hawaii more than ten times, but this was my first experience in West Oahu and snorkeling. I was captivated by Akima's personality and enjoyable conversations, along with precious stories about Hawaii's legendary history... it was a wonderful Aloha moment.
During snorkeling, Akima taught us with care and kindness, allowing me to swim comfortably even as a beginner. Against the beautiful backdrop of the green "Waianae Mountains" and the blue ocean, I was thrilled to swim with many fish, including the "humuhumunukunukuapua'a" (the state fish of Hawaii), and sea turtles.
We even had a fun photo shoot with a rare red sea urchin on my head! The photos taken were beautiful and filled with memories.
I highly recommend this tour. I would be happy to meet Akima again on my next visit to Hawaii.
I am grateful for the encounter with Akima and the enchanting Hawaii.
Thank you very much.

10回以上ハワイを訪れていますが、西オアフ&シュノーケリングは初めてで、Akimaさんの人柄と楽しいお喋りに魅了され、ハワイの伝説歴史の貴重なお話等々・・・素晴らしいAlohaなひとときが流れていきました。
シュノーケリングでは丁寧・親切に教えていただき、初めてでも安心して泳ぐことができました。
緑色に包まれた「ワイアナエ山脈」と青い海のコントラストの美しい景色を背に、海中ではたくさんの魚たちや「フムフムヌクヌクアプアア」(ハワイ州の魚)、ウミガメと一緒に泳ぐことができて感動。
珍しい赤いウニを頭に乗せての楽しい記念撮影もあり・・・!

We had planned for about a two-hour cruise, and I was imagining it would be nice to see whales after about 30 minutes. However, within just five minutes of departure, we spotted whales! When I hurried out onto the deck, I was able to see a mother whale and her four calves up close! The local crew mentioned that it's quite rare to see them this early and so close, and they were cheering with excitement. The other passengers were also thrilled. We continued to move alongside the mother and her calves for the entire trip. The beautiful sea and the dynamic sight of the whales made me feel the greatness of the Earth, and I almost cried.
2時間くらいのクルージングの予定で、30分くらい経ってからクジラが見られたらいいのかな?と勝手に想像していたら、出航してから5分も経たないうちにクジラがいる!とのこと。慌てて甲板にでるとすぐ近くにクジラの親子が4匹確認出来ました!!現地クルーの人もこんなに早く、間近にみえるのはかなり稀とのことで歓声をあげていました。乗っていたお客さんも大盛り大興奮。その後もずーーっとクジラの親子とともに最後まで移動。きれいな海とクジラのダイナミックな姿に地球の偉大さを感じ涙が出そうになりました。

The distance to the whales is about 300 meters, which is quite close. While the sense of their size may not be overwhelming, the excitement when you see them is significant. It's only about a 15-minute distance from the port, so the boat doesn't sway much. If you're deciding between skydiving and whale watching, I recommend whale watching!
クジラとの距離は近くて300メートルくらいです。大きいという感動は少ないですが見たときの感動は大きいです。港から15分くらいの距離なので船が大きく揺れることもありません。スカイダイビングとホエールウォッチングを迷っているならホエールウォッチングを勧めます!

I woke up early and participated. While moving on the boat, we encountered a pod of dolphins several times, and I hurriedly took pictures with my smartphone. Then, with the guide's shout, everyone jumped into the sea at once! When I looked down as instructed, I saw more than 20 dolphins swimming together. It was amazing! After that, we challenged the slide and enjoyed swimming. I'm not a strong swimmer, but I wasn't scared. However, my husband got seasick, which made me a bit lonely. There were also a few others who were feeling unwell. I took two motion sickness pills before going, but while swimming, the waves made me feel a bit nauseous. The taro cheese burger for lunch was delicious! Thank you very much!
朝早く起きて参加してきました。船で移動中にも何度かイルカの群れに遭遇し、慌ててスマホで撮影^^そしてガイドさんの掛け声でみんな一斉に海の中へ!下を見て!!と言われ見てみると、20頭以上のイルカが群れになって泳いでました。感激でした!後は滑り台に挑戦したり、泳ぎを楽しんだり。私は泳ぎは得意ではありませんが、怖さはありませんでした。ただ、旦那さんが船酔いしてしまい、少し寂しかったです^^他にも何名か気分が悪くなっている方がいました。酔い止めを2錠飲んで行きましたが、泳いでいる際も波にゆらゆら揺れるので、船酔いというか、泳いでいるときに少し気持ち悪くなりました笑

The weather worsened, so it was canceled once and then rescheduled for the next day. The staff's response was smooth, which was great.
In reality, there were waves, and the sea was cold, making it tough for families with young children, as the kids seemed scared and cold. It would be better to have an age limit of 10 years and older. Many adults also experienced seasickness.
On my third attempt, I was able to see three groups of mother and baby dolphins. I was really glad to see them.
天候悪化で、一度中止で、翌日に変更してもらいました。スタッフの対応もスムーズで、よかったです。
実際、波があり、海が冷たく、小学生低学年の親子連れは、子供達が怖がったり、寒がったりして、大変そうでした。年齢制限を10歳以上の方がよいですね。船酔いの大人も多かったです。
3度目のチャレンジで、イルカの親子連れに3組見れました。見られて本当によかったです。

I participated with my two children at the end of December. Since they do not provide transportation to hotels in Waikiki, we rented a car to get there. We drove from the highway towards Waianae and headed north along the coast. I thought it would have been better to eat at one of the fast food places before the harbor. The meeting place was hard to find, and we finally located it after searching with another group of Japanese tourists who had signed up for the same tour. It would be helpful to use the car with the tour company name as a landmark. There were only portable toilets at the harbor. Before boarding the boat, we had to take off our shoes and go barefoot. Drinks and snacks were available for us to enjoy. Everyone in my family took motion sickness medication, but everyone except me got seasick; my 6-year-old got sick and threw up within 30 minutes, and my 9-year-old was knocked out, both of them sleeping for most of the two-hour cruise. While overcoming the rough waves, I felt like I was in the movie Moana... We encountered a pod of dolphins, and the kids perked up at that moment. Two staff members were searching for whales with binoculars, but we ultimately didn’t see any. The view of Waianae from the boat was wonderful, and I felt rejuvenated by Hawaii's nature, but the kids were exhausted, and not seeing any whales made me feel like we didn’t get our money's worth, so I give it two stars. The staff took care of various things, but they had no Japanese language support at all. Since most participants were Japanese, the fast-paced English could be a bit tough for those who are not good at English. We were not given life jackets, and when I requested one for the kids, they were surprised and handed over a type that looked like a guillotine, which was uncomfortable for my child who was already feeling unwell, and in the end, they couldn’t wear it. I had lingering concerns about safety. Plus, the rough waves... that would be unthinkable in Japan. We received a re-try voucher, but it’s quite difficult to re-try this season, and I wish the expiration could be extended to 1-2 years.
12月末に子供2人と参加しました。送迎はワイキキのホテルまではしてくれないとのことでレンタカーして向かいました。ハイウェイからワイアナエ方向に進み海岸沿い北上しました。ハーバー手前に数件ファストフード店ありそこで食べればよかったと思いました。集合場所は分かりにくく同じツアー申し込んだ他の日本人グループと一緒に探してやっと見つけました。ツアー会社名の書いた車目印にするといいです。ハーバーには簡易トイレしかありません。船に乗り込む前に靴を脱ぎ裸足で乗船。飲み物とお菓子はご自由にと置いてありました。家族全員酔い止め飲んでましたが、わたし以外はみんな船酔い、6歳の下の子は30分も経たないうちに酔って吐き、9歳の上の子もノックアウトで二人とも二時間のクルーズ中ほぼ寝てました。荒波乗り越えながら映画のモアナの気分になりました…途中イルカの群れに会い子供もその時だけは起き上がり元気に。スタッフ二人が双眼鏡でクジラ捜索してましたが結局会えずでした。船からのワイアナエの景色は素晴らしく、ハワイの自然に癒されましたが、子供はぐったりでクジラにも会えず、自然のもので仕方ないとはいえ高い費用の元が取れた気がせず星二つ。スタッフは色々ケアしてくれましたが、日本語は全くNGでした。ツアー参加の大半が日本人の中早口の英語で、英語が得意でない場合はちょっと辛いかもです。ライフジャケット渡されず、子供の分を要求したら驚かれ、ギロチンみたいなタイプのを渡されて子供は体調悪い中首締まり苦しく、結局つけれずでした。安全面で不安が残りました。しかも荒波…日本ではあり得ないです。再トライ券もらいましたが、今シーズン再トライはなかなか難しいしせめて期限が1〜2年あればと思いました。

Seeing sea turtles and enjoying delicious hamburgers along with the hula dance was also fantastic. It was a bit cold since it was early in the morning, so I was glad to borrow a wetsuit. There was a little time between getting off the boat and boarding the bus, so it might have been better to change into dry clothes.

There is no better way to experience Hawaii, than out on its beautiful, indescribable blue waters. After doing a bit of research, I knew I wanted to go snorkeling on the west side of the island. I also snorkeled at Hanauma Bay, but there is zero comparison. Two completely different experiences. Sailing out of the harbor, on the beautiful catamaran, with the wind in your hair, onto the sparkling water, a stunning, panoramic view of the majestic mountains behind you, with three fabulous hours of yet unknown adventures ahead of you---well, what more can you ask for? Our time on this tour was great. It went by entirely too fast. But every minute was wonderful. We saw more dolphins than we could count. Had great visibility while snorkeling. Saw many different types of fish and marine life. All under the skillful supervision of the awesome crew. Also, the boat was not overly crowded, which was terrific. Plenty of room to move about and to have a good seat. The food and drinks were perfect. I just wish it was twice as long. And honestly, next time we go back, I will probably go more than once. It's simply the best way to experience the magic of Hawaii. PS. I booked through Hawaii Activities.com and I believe the company name is also Hawaii Nautical. No matter which you book it, it's completely worth it!

Shortly after departure, while everyone was offering prayers to the blue sea, dolphins began to swim nearby. When we hurriedly entered the water together, we could see the dolphins swimming!
During snorkeling, we were also able to see sea turtles and many fish.
Communication was perfectly fine in Japanese. There was even a morning call on the day, which was really kind. Above all, the crew members were truly friendly and cheerful. They ensured safety while we were in the water.
I'm in my mid-50s, but I can't swim, I'm scared of the ocean, and I was worried about seasickness. However, with the wetsuit rental and life jacket, I wasn't cold and didn't sink! I took motion sickness medication in advance, so I was fine on both the bus and the boat.
The sparkling blue sea, hula dancing, ukulele performances, and the burgers we ate on the boat were all delicious, packed with fun.
I no longer fear the sea or the boat! Thank you so much to all the staff. I would love to participate again when I go to Hawaii. This is a tour I want many people to join! Dolphin & You, which is gentle to the sea, marine life, and people, is the best!

The western part of Oahu, close to the hidden spots! It was just my family of three and our guide Akima, which made for a very private experience. Thanks to Akima's explanations filled with Hawaiian myths, including mystical caves, power spots, and Yokohama Bay, I think we enjoyed it many times more. The snorkeling was also fantastic with excellent visibility, and we had so much fun that we were completely exhausted! (Akima seemed full of energy!) Additionally, Akima's open personality, friendliness, and the various information about Hawaii presented in a quiz format were greatly appreciated (the "Huli Huli Chicken" at Ala Moana Center was so delicious that I ended up eating it twice, haha).

神秘的な洞窟、パワースポット、ヨコハマベイなど、アキマさんによるハワイでの神話をたっぷり交えた説明があったおかげで、何倍も楽しめたと思います。
シュノーケリングも透明度抜群、たっぷり疲れ切るほど楽しめましたね!(アキマさんはピンピンしてましたね!)
加えてアキマさんの伸びやかな人柄、親しみやすさ、クイズ形式で教えてくれるハワイでのさまざまな情報もありがたかったです( アラモアナSCの『フリフリチキン』美味過ぎて2度食べてしまった笑)。
今回の旅の1番の思い出を作ってくれて、アキマさん、本当に有難うございました。

This tour is more of a picnic on a boat off the coast of Oahu rather than a dolphin-watching tour, so in that sense, it offers entertainment and could be enjoyable for those who are not used to being on the water. If you go in with the mindset that seeing dolphins would be a lucky bonus, you won't be disappointed. It was completely different from the dolphin tours on the Big Island. The staff followed the company's concept of providing entertainment, but at times their individuality came through, which I found a bit immature.
イルカを見るツアーというよりはオアフ島沖を船でピクニックするツアーで、そういう意味ではエンターテイメントもあり海に慣れていない人にとっては楽しいのではないでしょうか。
イルカは見れたらラッキーくらいのつもりでないとがっかりします。
ハワイ島のイルカツアーとは全く別物でした。
スタッフは楽しませようという会社のコンセプトにのっとってそれなりに業務されていましたが所々に個が出ていて幼稚だなぁと思いました。
Thank you for your valuable feedback. I will share your comments with the staff. Additionally, on the west side of Oahu, the encounter rate with dolphins is about 95%, but the situation with the dolphins varies daily. They may swim away quickly or play around for a long time, which can affect the time available for swimming. Since we are dealing with wild dolphins, I appreciate your understanding.
貴重な書き込みありがとうございます。こちらの書き込みはスタッフとシェアさせていただきます。また、オアフ島ウエストサイドでは、イルカの遭遇率は95%ほどですが、毎日イルカの状況が違います。早く泳ぎ去ってしまうこともありますし、長い間回遊して遊んでいることもあり、泳げる時間に差が出てしまいますが、野生のイルカが相手なので、ご理解いただけると幸いです。

Driving while listening to traditional stories of West Oahu was really enjoyable. The various local anecdotes were also interesting.
Above all, snorkeling was fun, and I was able to see many beautiful fish and sea turtles up close. The rare starfish was wonderful as well.
We were able to take many nice shots, including underwater photos! It became a great keepsake. I definitely recommend that you request the photos.
西オアフの伝統的なお話しをお聞きしながらのドライブはとっても楽しかったです。現地の色々な裏話も面白かったです。
何よりもシュノーケリングが楽しく、沢山の綺麗な魚やウミガメも間近に見れました。珍しいヒトデもステキでした。
そして水中写真を含めた沢山のナイスショットの写真を撮ってもらえました!良い記念になりました。是非お写真は申し込まれた方がいいですよ。
Thank you for the review!
The more you go snorkeling, the more you might see something different, so please do challenge yourself again if you have the opportunity.
We look forward to seeing you again.
Aloha,
Akima

シュノーケルは行けば行くほど違う何かが見えるかもしれません、これからも機会があればぜひまた挑戦してみてくださいね。

I chose this tour based on my mother's comment, "I want to try snorkeling," after she turned 60. The cheerful voice of the Japanese guide lifted our spirits, and we were thrilled to hear various stories that we would never have known if we had gone on our own. During snorkeling, I felt a bit guilty for monopolizing the guide, but both my mother and I had a fantastic day! It's a tour that makes you want to visit Hawaii again. Thank you, Akima!
還暦過ぎの母の『シュノーケリングやってみたい』という一言から選んだこのツアー。
日本人のガイドさんの明るい声にテンションも上がり、自分達で行くだけでは絶対に知り得なかったいろんなお話に胸が踊りました。
シュノーケリングでは、母がガイドさんを独占してしまったと反省ひとしおでしたが、私も母も大満足の一日でした!
またハワイに行きたくなる、そんなツアーです^_^
あきまさん、ありがとうごさいました!
I'm so happy you wrote this. Thank you! (It can be a hassle, right? lol)
Sometimes a tour is nice, especially in Hawaii, where there are various histories, legends, and stories about the land. While it's great to explore on your own for the freedom it offers, I hope you can join a tour occasionally to enjoy experiences that you wouldn't get otherwise.
I'm skilled in snorkeling, so I really value how much joy we can bring to our guests in the ocean. It's especially rewarding when older guests or those who can't swim feel happy after swimming! So please don't worry about that.
Please come again with your mother; there are great spots on the North Shore as well!
Please send my regards to your mother.
Aloha!

書いてくださった~ 嬉しいです。ありがとうございます~(めんどくさいですもんね~w)
たまにはツアーもいいでしょ♪ 特にハワイはいろいろな歴史、伝説や土地の話などあるので、ただ自分たちで行くのも自由があっていいけれど、たまにはツアーに来ていただいて自分たちでは得れない楽しみ方をしていただければなと思っております。
シュノーケルも私は海が得意なので、海をいかに喜んでいただけるかを大切にしています。特に高齢や泳げない方など、泳いだ後喜んでいただけるのが本当に嬉しんですよ! なのでお気になさらずに~。
またお母様とお越しください、ノースショアにもいいポイントがございますので!
お母様にもよろしくお伝えくださいませ。
アロハ!

This was my second time in Hawaii, but my first time in West Oahu. I was moved by the local charm and energy of West Oahu. I enjoyed buying lunch at a local supermarket, driving around, and snorkeling. This is truly a recommended tour! Let's all go meet our knowledgeable guide, Akima. I look forward to visiting Hawaii again next time.
2回目のハワイでしたが、初めての西オアフでした。
ローカル色豊かなハワイ西オアフのパワーを受けて感動です。
地元のスーパーでランチを買ったり・ドライブしたりシュノーケリングも楽しんできました。
本当にお勧めのツアーです!
知識がとても豊富なガイドのAkimaさんにみなさん、会いに行きましょう。
次回、ハワイを訪問して際もよろしくお願いします。
Thank you for the review! We will continue to gather more history and various information about Hawaii, so please come back again!
Aloha!
