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

Turtles are still slow in the water, works for this activity..

Reviewed by: -PAUL-

First time doing this. Thoroughly enjoyed it between the dolphins and turtle. I found a turtle by my lonesome, shared with everyone, but I guess there was more action somewhere else. I swam with the turtle as it slowly rose up to surface to get a breathe of air that took no more than one second. Then it went on its way. I don't have pictures of that experience to share, but I did have a go pro recording the whole time. So I have that to take with me the rest of my life.
Needs to said, there is a catch. If you want more interaction with mammal sea life, there is another activity that gets your first hand, up close and personal. However you are in a control environment. Whereas this activity is in the ocean; wildlife, so more than dolphins and turtles to experience(depending on the time of year too).

If I am allowed to edit this post, and also allow to post a hyperlink to a YouTube video, I will post that turtle swim.

I was able to see dolphins up close. I had my photo taken, but there were people who had many photos for the same price and others who did not, so it would be nice if that could be improved. I thought the staff were cheerful and kind, which made it enjoyable.

イルカを近くで見ることができました。
写真を撮って頂きましたが、同じ金額で沢山写ってる人と、そうでない人といるし、他の人の写真ばかりのUSBを買っても、ちょっと困りますのでその辺は改善していただきたいと思います。

It became the best memory! 最高の思い出になりました！

Reviewed by: hawaiilove

We participated in this tour because we really wanted to see wild dolphins on our honeymoon.

The meeting time was at 5:55 AM, but around 5:20 AM, a Japanese female staff member called our hotel room for a morning call. During that call, she informed us that we needed to wear swimsuits and that if we wanted to rent a wetsuit, it would cost $5 per person, so we needed to have cash on hand.

The participants on the bus were mostly Japanese, with about 20 people in total. Inside the bus, the Japanese staff explained the precautions and how to use the snorkel, which made us feel at ease. They also recommended that those who are prone to motion sickness take medication on the bus. Motion sickness wristbands were available for sale on the bus for $20, but I didn’t buy one. By the way, I got quite seasick during the parasailing the day before, but I didn’t feel sick at all during this dolphin tour.

Finally, we boarded the boat and cruised to the point where the dolphins were located. There were four staff members on board, and they were all very enthusiastic, chatting with us in English, which created a fun atmosphere throughout. Then we finally spotted the dolphins and dove into the sea with our snorkels! We swam close to the dolphins, and there were so many swimming just below me!! Both my husband and I were thrilled to see them up close. Please make sure to bring an underwater camera. I highly recommend participating in this tour.

ハネムーンで、野生のイルカをどうしても見たくて主人と二人で参加しました。

朝5時55分の集合でしたが、5時20分頃に、ホテルの部屋まで日本人の女性のスタッフの方からモーニングコールがありました。その際に水着着用のことと、水中は寒い為、ウエットスーツをレンタルする場合には、一人＄５必要な為、現金が必要な旨連絡がありました。

到着したバスの参加者はほぼ日本人で、２０名くらいがいたと思います。
バスの中で、日本人スタッフの方から注意事項やシュノーケルの使い方など説明があり安心できました。また酔いやすい方は、バスの中で薬を飲むことをお勧めします。バスでは酔い止めのリストバンドも売られていましたが、＄２０のため、私は買いませんでした。ちなみに前日参加したパラセイリングではかなり酔ってしまったのですが、このイルカツアーは全く酔わなかったです。

いよいよ船に乗り、イルカがいるポイントまでクルーズをします。スタッフの方４名いたのですが、皆さんテンションが高く英語で色々と話しかけてくれる為、終始楽しい雰囲気でした。そしていよいよイルカを発見し、シュノーケルをつけて海にダイブします！そしてイルカの近くまでみんなで泳いでいきました。するとそこにはたくさんのイルカたちが私のすぐ下を泳いでいました！！
こんなに間近で見ることができ、主人も私も感激しています。水中カメラは絶対に持参してください。
ぜひ参加をお勧めします。

I had a great time! 楽しめた！

Reviewed by: Big Island 05

One of the activities I absolutely wanted to experience on my trip to Hawaii was dolphin swimming. Since I chose the early morning plan, the meeting time was before 6 AM! I booked it for the latter part of the trip when the effects of jet lag were less, and going to bed early the night before seemed to pay off, as my husband and I, who are usually not morning people, managed to wake up properly. (Maybe we woke up because we were so excited?)

A large bus came to pick us up, and despite the early hour, the staff greeted us cheerfully. After the English explanation on the bus, they kindly provided a detailed explanation in Japanese, which was reassuring.

There were about 20 people that day, roughly half of the maximum of 40. Upon arriving at the port, we were finally ready to set sail! Unfortunately, it seemed there were no dolphins at the first point we headed to, so we had to move to a different location. As a result, the travel time by boat was longer than usual, which meant our snorkeling time was shorter.

When we arrived at the next point, we finally dove into the sea! After swimming for a while, when we turned to the staff's signal… there were so many dolphins!! We could clearly see them swimming right beneath us. We also saw many dolphins during our second dive.

Although the snorkeling time was indeed a bit shorter, we were able to enjoy seeing fish and sea turtles. The boat ride took longer, but it seemed that no one got seasick, and during the travel time, the staff shared various stories and even performed hula, which kept us entertained throughout the tour.

On the way back, I think all the participants were fast asleep! It was just what we needed to recharge a bit.

ハワイ旅行で絶対に体験したいアクティビティのひとつがドルフィンスイムでした。
朝イチのプランを選択したため、集合時間は6時前！時差ボケの影響が少ない旅の後半の日程に予約して、前日早めに寝たのが功を奏したのか、朝は比較的弱い夫婦ですがきちんと起きることができました。（楽しみだったから否応なしに目が覚めたのかも？）
大きなバスのお迎えが来て、早朝にもかかわらずスタッフの方も明るく出迎えていただきました。バスの中で英語での説明が終わった後日本語でも丁寧に説明してくださり、安心でした。
この日は20人ほどで、MAX40人の約半分。
港に到着し、いよいよ出港！最初に向かったポイントでは残念ながらイルカがいなかったようで、急遽違うポイントへ移動することに。そのため普段よりもボートでの移動時間が長くなり、その分シュノーケルの時間が短くなってしまいますと説明がありました。
次のポイントに到着し、ようやく海へダイブ！しばらく泳いでスタッフの方の合図でそちらのほうを向くと…たくさんのイルカが！！自分たちの下を横切っていくのがばっちり見えました。
2回目のダイブでも、たくさんのイルカが見れました。
その後のシュノーケル時間はやはり少し短かったようですが、魚やウミガメも見れて楽しめました。
ボートでの移動時間は長くなりましたが、船酔いするような人はいなかったようですし、移動の間もいろいろなお話をしてくださったり、フラを披露していただいたりと、ツアー中ずっと飽きずに楽しむことができてよかったです。
帰りのバスはたぶん参加者全員爆睡！ちょうど少し疲れもとることができよかったです。

I participated in early January. It was a cold time with rough waves, so I was worried about seasickness and the cold, but I’m really glad I referred to the reviews. I wore a long-sleeve hoodie and took motion sickness medication the day before.

Most of the women who participated looked very uncomfortable due to seasickness. It seems essential to take motion sickness medication. I was able to see dolphins and sea turtles! I was also lucky enough to witness a whale jump, which is unique to this season, and the cruise in nature was very healing. The hamburger was delicious too! There was also a hula show by the crew, making it a very satisfying activity!

１月上旬に参加しました。寒く波も荒い時期でしたので、船酔いと寒さが心配でしたが、口コミを参考にして本当によかったです。長袖パーカーと酔い止めを前日から服用して参加しました。
参加した女性のほとんどが、船酔いでとても辛そうでした。酔い止めは必ず服用した方が良さそうです。イルカ、海亀をみることが出来ました！この時期ならではクジラのジャンプも運よく見れて、大自然の中のクルーズ癒されました。ハンバーガーも美味しかったです！クルーの方のフラショーもあり、大満足なアクティビティーでした！

On the way to our snuba location we were able to see a few whales breech the surface. The crew on the boat were great and the lunch was delicious. They offered Pork, Chicken sandwiches, fresh fruit and chips. It was rough seas and the boat ride was smooth sailing. Overall rating is 4.5 stars. Whish we could see more whales and see dolphins.

I was very satisfied to see both. The shaking was less than I expected, and it felt nice. My two- and four-year-old daughters were also excited. All the guides spoke English. Breakfast included muffins, and lunch consisted of sandwiches. The air conditioning on the shuttle bus from the hotel was strong, so it's a good idea to sunbathe on the boat to dry off while returning in your swimsuit. By the way, I requested a date change over the phone the day before due to our circumstances, and they kindly agreed.

両方見られて大満足でした。思ったほど揺れは少なく気持ち良かったです。二歳四歳の娘達もはしゃいでいました。ガイドはみな英語でした。朝ごはんはマフィンなど、ランチはサンドイッチなどでした。ホテルからの送迎バス内が冷房強く、水着のまま帰るので船上で日光浴して乾かしておくと◎。ちなみに、前日にこちらの都合で電話で日にち変更をお願いしましたが、快諾していただけました。

Amazing experience!

Reviewed by: Robert P.

We did the early excursion and were happy we did as our group only had 9 people and I felt we were able to see more activity. We rented wet suits since the water was just a bit cooler than our liking, and they worked great. The views on the way to the snorkeling spot are breathtaking as you see the sunrise behind a mountain range. We saw several whales and could hear their chatter in the water, an indescribable experience. We snorkeled with tropical fish, sea turtles, and dolphins. Then, we enjoyed a delicious lunch. Only wish we had more time.

The crew and shuttle driver were great! They even returned our beach towels, which we forgot at Spinner's. This excursion definitely under promised and over delivered.

We paid $50-$60 for the professional photographs, which was well worth it to us as it was impossible to capture everything. Can't wait to see them in a couple weeks!

Encounter with Dolphins イルカとの出逢い

Reviewed by: Milky

This was my first trip to Hawaii. While searching for activities that I could enjoy with my 6th-grade daughter, I came across this tour. When I told my daughter about it, she immediately responded, "I want to go!" It's not every day you get a chance to meet wild dolphins.

I had some hesitation, wondering if I could wake up at 5 AM with the jet lag, if I would be okay since I'm not a strong swimmer, and if I might get seasick. I was filled with more anxiety than excitement. After much deliberation, I decided to go for it and signed up.

On the day of the tour, I was so excited that I woke up earlier than planned. I took my motion sickness medication and boarded the boat. After a few minutes, I heard the staff say that dolphins were nearby, and one by one, we jumped into the sea.

Honestly, it was a bit scary at first. I struggled to put my face in the water. I desperately searched for dolphins. Then, when I looked down… there they were right below me!! A pod of dolphins! Before I knew it, I was diving down and taking pictures, completely captivated. It was an emotional experience. My daughter seemed to see them well too. Although I joined the tour for her sake, I might have enjoyed it even more (laughs). After that, we also got to see a honu (sea turtle). It was amazing to see it swimming so close!

It was a dreamlike experience that went by in an instant. The staff were friendly, and I enjoyed chatting with them. I've been to various places, but this became my best memory in Hawaii. If I have the chance to go to Hawaii again, I would definitely like to participate in this tour again.

As many have mentioned, I think it's a good idea for those who are worried to take motion sickness medication. Thank you very much.

初めてのハワイ旅行。小学6年生の娘と楽しめるアクティビティはないかと色々探していたところ、このツアーが目にとまりました。娘に話した所、「行きたい！」と即答。野生のイルカに会えるツアーなんてなかなかありません。
私も行きたいなと思いながらも迷いがありました。時差ボケもあるのに朝5時に起きられるのか。あまり泳ぎが得意ではないのに大丈夫か。船酔いするんじゃないか。期待以上に不安もイッパイ。迷いに迷って思いきって申し込みました。
当日は楽しみで予定より早く起きてしまいました。酔いどめもしっかり飲んで船に乗り込むこと数十分。
イルカがいるというスタッフの方の声を聞いて、次々と海に飛び込みます。
正直ちょっと怖かった。最初はなかなか顔もつけられなくて。必死でイルカを探します。そして、ふと下をみると…真下にいました！！イルカの群れが！気がつくと夢中で潜って写真をとっていました。感動でした。娘もしっかり見れたようです。娘のために参加したツアーでしたが、私のほうが楽しんでいたかも(笑)。そのあとホヌもみることができました。本当にすぐそばで泳いでいてびっくり！！
あっという間の夢のような時間でした。
スタッフの方もフレンドリーで色々お話できて楽しかったです。
色々な所に行きましたが、ハワイでの一番の思い出になりました。
またハワイに行く機会があったらぜひ参加したいです。
みなさんかいてありますが、心配な方は酔い止めを飲んだほうがいいと思います。
ありがとうございました。

My dream has come true! 夢が叶った！

Reviewed by: なってぃ

I finally fulfilled my dream of swimming with dolphins! I was worried that the sea in December would be cold, but the weather was nice, and thanks to borrowing a wetsuit, I didn't feel cold at all. The crew spoke Japanese very well, which made me feel at ease.

The view from the boat while searching for dolphins was beautiful, with the green mountains and blue sea being absolutely stunning! With my heart racing, the time finally came to enter the water! Once in the sea, the crew dove down and brought up a starfish! Immediately, the photographer took pictures.

While we were doing this, I was told to look down, and when I did, I saw a pod of dolphins! I was so excited to see dolphins swimming so close and followed the pod. I encountered the dolphins multiple times, and I even got to see them jump out of the water, which was exhilarating the entire time!

I wanted to try stand-up paddleboarding during my free time, but due to the sea conditions, I couldn't, which was a bit disappointing. However, I did get to encounter a sea turtle, and I had a wonderful time!

The hamburgers made on the boat were delicious, and the photographer played the ukulele very well. The woman who danced the hula was also skilled, and there were many entertaining elements that kept us engaged.

At the end, we had photo opportunities at the helm, took pictures with the crew, and had a group photo with all participants, which was a lot of fun!

Since there were some people who got seasick, it might be a good idea for those who are anxious to take motion sickness medication for peace of mind.

ずっとイルカと泳ぎたいと思っていた夢が、やっと叶いました！
12月の海は冷たいかと心配していましたが、天気も良く、ウェットスーツを借りたおかげもあって寒さは感じませんでした。クルーの方が、日本語がお上手なので安心です。
イルカを見つけるまでの船からの景色も、とてもキレイで、山の緑と海のブルーが素晴らしかったです！
ドキドキしながら、いよいよ海に入る時が来ました！
海に入ると、クルーの方が潜ってスターフィッシュを取ってくれました！
すると、すかさずカメラマンの方が写真を撮ってくれました。
そうこうしていると、下を見て〜と言われ、下を見るとイルカの群れが！
こんなに近くを泳ぐイルカを見て興奮しながらイルカの群れについて行きました。
何度もイルカの群れに遭遇できたし、水上でイルカのジャンプも見れ、終始大興奮でした！
自由時間に、スタンドアップパドルに挑戦してみたいと思っていたのですが、海の状況で、できないとのことで、少し残念でした。
でも海ガメにも遭遇できとても楽しい時を過ごす事ができました！
そして、船上で作られたハンバーガーもおいしかったし、カメラマンのウクレレ演奏もお上手だし、フラを踊られた女性もお上手で、飽きさせない工夫がされていました。
最後は操縦席での写真撮影や、クルーの方達との写真撮影、参加者全員での写真撮影もあり、みんなで楽しむ事ができました！

船酔いされてる方がいたので、不安な方は酔い止めのお薬を飲まれた方が安心かもしれませんね。

Reviewed by: かなぴぃ

I was able to swim! ^^

When I signed up, I hesitated. In the end, I decided to enroll to fulfill my partner's wish of "wanting to swim with dolphins."

Even with a life jacket on, I felt anxious. When I jumped in, my heart rate increased, and I couldn't breathe properly, so at first, I swam with my face mostly above water.

However, the crew was persistently encouraging, saying "Dive down, it's okay, it's okay," and after about five minutes, I managed to get my face in the water! (For someone who isn't good at swimming, those five minutes might be tough.)

I'm so grateful! Once I got my face in the water, it felt like a different world. There was a huge group of dolphins, probably around twenty. I was able to keep my face in the water longer because I wanted to see more. I knew I shouldn't move my fins, but out of fear, I was flailing them. However, realizing that the dolphins would swim away, I stopped moving my fins and just floated gently with the help of the life jacket.

I also got to see a sea turtle, and by that time, I was swimming at the front, sticking close to the crew.

This tour gave me a sense of security, knowing that they would help if anything happened. My enthusiasm to see the dolphins helped me learn to swim, and later, I found myself swimming without a life jacket on the beach. I'm so thankful.

I’ve decided to repeat this experience. This might be the first time I want to repeat an optional tour. The transportation to the Kahala Hotel (the meeting point was a five-minute walk from the hotel at Kahala Bridge) was also a nice touch.

泳げるようになっていました^^;

申込の際、迷いました。
最終的には相方の"イルカと泳ぎたい"という希望を叶えるため申込。

ライフジャケットをつけても不安。
飛び込んでも心拍数が上がって上手に息をすることができず、最初はほぼ顔出しで泳ぎました。

で、でも、クルーの方が粘り強くひつこいくらい「潜って潜って」「大丈夫大丈夫」と
言ってくださって、5分後には何とか顔に水をつけられるように！
（泳ぐのが苦手な人にとってはこの5分間はしょうがないかもしれません）

感謝です！顔に水をつけるとそこは上とは別世界。
20匹はいるであろうイルカの大群。
もっと見たいとずっと顔を水につけることができました。
フィンを動かしてはいけないとわかっていたのに怖さからばたつかせていたのですが、
イルカが逃げてしまうと知り、フィンは動かさずライフジャケットの力だけを
借りてそうっと浮かんでいました。

ウミガメも見ることができ、そのころにはクルーの方にくっついて先頭を

このツアーには「何かあれば助けてくれる」という安心感がありました。
イルカを見たい、という熱意で泳げるようになり、その後、ビーチで

A once-in-a-lifetime experience. 一生に一度の体験

Reviewed by: びびこ

This tour is full of Aloha hospitality. On the day I participated, I was lucky enough to encounter wild dolphins at two different points. The American crew was fantastic. The guide who swam with the dolphins was clear and kind in their instructions, and they were experienced in catering to each passenger's needs. I attended with a friend, but I noticed that they provided excellent care for families with children, which was appreciated. The guide's freediving underwater was artistic, almost like a dolphin! On the way back, they performed bright and beautiful prayer songs with sharp dancing.

For those who will be participating, I recommend taking measures against seasickness and bringing a waterproof outdoor jacket. I don’t get seasick, but quite a few people were feeling unwell and couldn’t enjoy the beautiful scenery of the boat trip, which was unfortunate to see. Additional investments to enhance your experience include seasickness medication, which is available at Japanese airports, and a $20 wristband that is introduced on the bus ride to the destination. Also, depending on where you sit on the boat, you may get splashed by the waves. Having a lightweight, water-resistant jacket would make your experience more comfortable.

アロハホスピタリティ満点のツアーです。私が参加した日は、ラッキーなことにポイント２ヶ所で野生のイルカと遭遇できました。アメリカ人のクルーも大当たりでした。イルカと泳ぐガイドもわかりやすく親切に案内してくれましたし、乗客の方それぞれにあった対応も慣れていて、私は友人との参加でしたが、家族連れには子供へのケアが厚く、ありがたい様子でした。水中でのガイドのフリーダイビングも芸術的で、まるでイルカみたいでした！帰りは明るくて祈りの歌が上手でキレッキレのダンスを披露してくれました。
これから参加される方には、酔い止め対策を取られること、Waterproofのアウトドアジャケットを持参されることをお薦めします。私は船酔いしないのですが、結構な方がダウンされていてせっかくの船旅の景色を楽しむことができず見ていて気の毒でした。体験を良くするための追加の投資は酔い止め薬は日本の空港でも売っていますし、往路のバスで$20のリストバンドが紹介されます。また船での移動は座る場所によって波しぶきがかかります。水を通さないタイプの薄手のジャケットがあると快適に過ごせると思います。

Reviewed by: 旦那1日目

A year after our wedding, we finally made it to Hawaii! And I got to meet dolphins for the first time, which I've always dreamed of!

We woke up early, and I thought I would definitely fall asleep on the bus, but I was too excited about seeing the dolphins to sleep at all. Once we arrived at the ocean and changed, we were ready to go to the spot—let's go!!!

The waves were a bit high today, which made me feel a little blue at first. But after a while, the captain said we could see dolphins, and all my worries disappeared! When we got into the water, there were supposedly only a few, but about ten dolphins came to greet us. I was strangely moved to see dolphins in person for the first time.

I'm so glad I bought an underwater camera—really glad (waiting for the development, haha). After enjoying that experience, we returned to the boat and headed to the snorkeling spot! On the way, we even saw a whale! The crew mentioned that it's rare to see them up close like that. We were super lucky!

When we arrived at the snorkeling spot and got in, unfortunately, the water was really murky, so it wasn't great for snorkeling. I have to deduct one star for that.

We quickly returned to the boat and had a cheeseburger for lunch! The taro buns were amazing—way better than anything from a regular shop!

That wrapped up the tour. I fell asleep on the bus, probably from all the swimming, and when I woke up, we were in Honolulu.

I got to meet dolphins, the cheeseburger was delicious, and the crew was all really nice. I definitely want to join again!

It was such a wonderful honeymoon memory!!!

ハネムーンで1年ぶりのハワイ！そして念願の初めてのイルカ！
朝は早く、バスでは絶対に寝ちゃうと思っていたけどイルカに逢えるワクワクで全然寝れず。。。

だけどしばらくしたらcaptainからイルカが見えるよの言葉で気持ち悪さも吹っ飛び！
いざ海に入ってみると、数は少ないらしいがちゃんとイルカちゃん達10匹くらい？がお出迎えしてくれました。
初めて生で見たイルカに妙に感動。
水中カメラ買っていって良かった〜、本当に良かった〜(現像待ち笑)
十分に堪能したら船に戻り今度はシュノーケリングスポットへ！その途中でクジラも見れました！クルーも言ってたけど、こんなに近くで見れることなんてないとのこと。めちゃくちゃラッキーでした！
シュノーケリングスポットついて入ってみるととてもじゃないけど水が濁っていてシュノーケリングどころじゃなかったのが残念でした。ここで星ひとつ減点。
早々に船に戻り、昼ごはんにチーズバーガー！タロイモのバンズ、最高でしたー！そこら辺の店よりもはるかに美味しかった！
これでツアーはおしまい。

I was very satisfied! First, they gave us a wake-up call at 5 AM, which was kind of them. Since it was cold, they recommended renting a jacket and mentioned to bring the rental fee if we decided to use it. The pickup was at 5:55 AM from a location close to the hotel we stayed at. Bright and cheerful staff welcomed us, which was a relief. On the bus, they explained what was to come, and after arriving, we had a bathroom break because the restrooms on the boat were quite limited. Soon after, we boarded the boat, and the staff introduced themselves. Everyone was cheerful and made us feel excited. We prayed on the boat and threw flowers into the sea.

Once we reached the area where we could see dolphins, everyone jumped into the water, and after three attempts, we finally spotted a pod of dolphins in the distance! They kept getting closer, and there were more than ten of them! They swam right beneath us! Although we couldn't touch them, I was thrilled to see dolphins up close, something I never expected! After swimming with the dolphins, we had free time to enjoy snorkeling or slide down the slide they provided. After that, we had cheeseburgers, potato chips, and cold pineapple, which made me very happy. The staff danced the hula, enhancing the Hawaiian atmosphere, and it was a moment when I truly felt the essence of Hawaii. I would love to go again. The group photo at the end was a luxurious touch.

満足でした！まず朝5時にモーニングコールをくださいました。親切です。寒いのでジャケットレンタルをオススメされ、もし使用する場合はレンタル料金を持ってきてくださいとのことでした。朝の5:55にわたし達が宿泊したホテルから近い場所でのピックアップです。明るい元気なお姉さん達がまず出迎えてくれ、ホッとしました。バスの中ではこれからの説明などをしてくれ、到着後は船のお手洗いは大変とのことでお手洗いタイムがありました。その後すぐに船にのり、スタッフさんの自己紹介。皆さん明るくてわくわく気分にしてくれます。船の上でおいのりをして海に花を投げました。
イルカが見える場所についてから、みんな一斉に海に飛び込むこと3回目でようやくいるかの群れを遠くに発見！！と思ったらどんどん近づいてきて、
10匹以上はいました！そしてなんと私たちの真下を悠々と泳いでます！触れる距離ではありませんでしたが、イルカをこんなに間近で見ることが出来るだなんて思ってもなかったので興奮してしまいました！イルカと泳いだ後は各自自由にシュノーケルを
楽しんだり、用意してくれた滑り台を滑ったりなどなど。その後はチーズバーガーを食べ、ポテトチップスを食べ、冷たいパインを食べて幸せでした。スタッフさんたちがフラダンスを踊って、ハワイ気分をもっと高めてくれたので、ハワイの実感が湧いた瞬間でした。またいきたいと思います。最後のグループごとで写真撮影も贅沢でした。mahalo♪

This is my second time participating in a wild dolphin snorkeling tour (^O^)
It was my first time with this tour company!
In a word, it was very fulfilling.
Not only did we swim with wild dolphins, but there were also many entertaining performances on the boat that kept us laughing the whole time (人 •͈ᴗ•͈)

We joined the morning tour!
The meeting time was early at 6 AM, but it was reassuring!
First, we received a morning call, which was a nice touch d(ﾟ∀ﾟd)!
And since it was in perfect Japanese, there was nothing to worry about!
We took a bus for about 45 minutes to our destination ʕ•̫͡•ʔ.
Then we headed to the dolphins' habitat, which took a bit of time ( .. ).
However, the content was packed with activities that kept us entertained ٩( 'ω' )و!
We sang songs together while offering flowers and praying,
and there were explanations on the bus to confirm safety precautions.
Then we started snorkeling with the wild dolphins (^O^).
A dedicated photographer took lots of wonderful pictures for us!
We brought our own waterproof camera, so we didn’t request their service,
but it seems you can get a USB with about 300 photos for $55 if paid in advance, or $60 if ordered later (^^).
After seeing the dolphins, we went snorkeling, and then there were boats and a slide for us to enjoy in the sea (*´罒`*).
We even got to eat hamburgers (♡´艸`).
And on top of that, they performed a hula dance for us!
It was a fun tour filled with laughter from start to finish ( ¨̮ ).
At the end, we took a group photo (^O^).
They send the pictures to your phone, which is a nice service!
If I go snorkeling with dolphins again, I will definitely choose this tour ( ¨̮ ).
*As a note, it can be cold on the boat and in the bus, so be sure to prepare a bath towel and a jacket!
Also, if you get motion sickness, it can ruin everything, so be sure to take motion sickness medication!!

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　ジャンボスライダーやSUPも楽しめる！＜ランチ付き／ワイキキ＆コオリナ送迎／日本語または英語ガイド＞

Dolphins, sea turtles, and various other things♪ イルカ＆海ガメ＆その他諸々♪

Reviewed by: A＆I

During our honeymoon trip to Hawaii, we wanted to see wild dolphins and swim with them, so we decided to join this tour!

To sum it up, it was a very satisfying tour♪

We were able to swim with dolphins twice in the ocean, but unfortunately, both times the dolphins swam quite far below us, so we couldn't get as close as we had hoped. However, according to our guide, there are times when they are much smaller and even difficult to spot, so we were quite fortunate to see them clearly (sometimes they come very close to people). Well, since they are wild dolphins and not domesticated, it's all a matter of luck, and being able to enjoy that aspect is one of the charms of the tour.

Additionally, not only dolphins but also snorkeling at the sea turtle spot is included, so even if we weren't lucky with the dolphins, it was still okay! There are points where sea turtles are almost guaranteed to be present, and we were able to swim quite close to them, so much so that we had to avoid touching them (it seems that touching sea turtles in Hawaii can result in a fine)!

While the main focus is on snorkeling with dolphins and sea turtles as mentioned above, there are also other activities such as singing Hawaiian songs and throwing flowers to pray for a safe voyage, watching the crew's wonderful hula, enjoying paddleboarding and kayaking, sliding from the boat, and eating burgers. It's quite a packed tour, and combined with the friendliness and brightness of the crew, it guarantees a very enjoyable experience♪

Finally, to make the most of the tour, here are a few reminders. First, definitely take motion sickness medication. We were fine, but a few people looked unwell (the guide gives quite a bit of explanation about seasickness beforehand, which might have the opposite effect). Also, it's a good idea to bring local currency. They offer paid options on the bus heading to the ocean, such as wetsuit rentals ($5 per person), photo packages (we received about 600 photos of all participants on a USB), and motion sickness wristbands (around $20, effectiveness unknown).

And the most important thing: if you're participating in the morning, make sure to wake up properly! The departure is around 5 AM, so an early wake-up is required.

新婚旅行でハワイに行った際、野生のイルカが見たい、イルカと泳ぎたいと思って参加しました！

結果から言えば、かなり満足のいくツアーでした♪

海に入ってイルカと泳ぐことができたのは２回で、１度目も２度目もイルカが私達のかなり下の方を泳いでいたため、思ったほど近くを泳げなかったのは残念でしたが、ガイドさんの話ではもっと小さくしか見えない時や、そもそも視認することも難しい時もあるようなので、しっかりと見ることのできた私達はかなり恵まれた方だったのかなと思います（時によってはかなり人の近くに寄ってくることもあるみたいです）。まあそのへんは飼いならされているわけではなく、あくまで野生のイルカなので、運次第ということでしょうし、そういった点も含めて楽しむことができるのがツアーの魅力のひとつでもあります。

また、イルカだけでなく、海ガメポイントでもシュノーケリングできるので、万一イルカ運に恵まれなかった場合でも大丈夫！こちらはほぼ確実に海ガメがいるポイントがあるらしく、私達もかなり近くで海ガメと泳ぐことができ、むしろ近すぎて、下手に触らないように避けるぐらいでした（ハワイでは下手に海ガメに触ると罰金をとられるようです）！

そして、あくまでメインとしては上に書いたようなイルカ＆海ガメとのシュノーケリングですが、これ以外にも、航海の無事を祈ってハワイの歌を歌って花を投げたり、クルーのフラ（素晴らしい）を見たり、パドルボートやカヤック、ボートからの滑り台で楽しんだり、バーガーを食べたりと結構盛りだくさんのツアーですので、クルーの人のよさというか明るさも相まって、非常に楽しいツアーとなることは請け合いです♪

最後に、ツアーを最大限に楽しむためにも、いくつか注意喚起です。
まず、酔い止めは必ず飲みましょう。私達は大丈夫でしたが、数人は気分が悪そうにしていました（ガイドさんが事前にかなり船酔いに関する説明をするので、それがかえって逆効果になる可能性も）。
そして、一応現地通貨は持って行きましょう。ウェットスーツの有料レンタル（１人５ドル）や、写真（USBでもらえます。私達の時は全参加者のいろいろな写真含めて600枚ぐらいありました）の申込（５０ドル程度）、酔い止め用のリストバンド（２０ドルぐらい？効果のほどは不明）の販売など、海に向かうバスの中で有料オプションを受け付けています。
そしてこれが一番大切なことですが、朝参加の場合は、きちんと朝起きましょう！朝は５時台出発なので、かなり早起きが要求されます。

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　ジャンボスライダーやSUPも楽しめる！＜ランチ付き／ワイキキ＆コオリナ送迎／日本語または英語ガイド＞

Amazing! すごい！

Reviewed by: 稀勢の里

I was very moved because I was able to see both dolphins and sea turtles up close. I dove into the sea three times in total. The sea turtles were really close, it was amazing! There were about six of them. There were also many dolphins, and I got to see them jump.

I’m not great at swimming, but I managed. (When diving from the boat, there was pressure because people were waiting behind me, so I jumped in. But it was a bit scary. I ended up drinking a lot of seawater, but I was so moved that I didn’t care, and I floated back up on my own.)

I felt that it was very kind of them to call the hotel in the morning to check if I was awake. Moreover, the voice on the phone was refreshing and reassuring.

The new guide was on their first tour, so good luck to them!

If I had to say one thing, it was disappointing that there was only one paddleboard available, so I couldn’t try it! One group had taken it over. The hamburger was delicious, and I also enjoyed the potato chips. There were no fruits available.

イルカも海ガメもどちらも間近で見ることができたのでとても感動しました。計３回海にダイブ。海ガメは本当に間近にいてすごすぎです！６匹ぐらいいました。イルカもたくさんいてジャンプも見れました。
私は泳ぐとこが苦手でしたがなんとかなります。（船からのダイブは後ろに待っている人がいるのでプッレシャーで飛び込めました。でもちょっと怖い。海水も飲みまくりでしたが、感動でどうでもよくなりますし勝手に浮いてきます）
朝ホテルに電話を入れてくれて起きているか確認してくれる所もとても親切だなと感じました。しかもその電話の声がさわやかで安心します。
新人のガイドさんが初ガイドということでした、頑張って下さい！
１つ言うならば、パドルサーフィンが１個しかなかったのでできなかったことが残念！１組が占領していました。ハンバーガーも美味しかったですし、ポテトチップスも美味しくいただきました。フルーツはありませんでした。

I was able to meet wild dolphins and sea turtles! ☆ 野生のイルカとウミガメに会えました☆

Reviewed by: NAMI

I participated with a friend. I wanted to see wild dolphins, and I was truly moved not only by the dolphins but also by encountering sea turtles. We offered songs and flowers from the boat, wishing for safety, and then headed straight into the sea. Since we had experience with diving and snorkeling in Japan, we didn't have any particular issues. During the first dive, we only caught a glimpse of the dolphins for a moment, but during the second dive, after moving to a different spot, we were able to see a sea turtle up close, and there were about 15 dolphins swimming in a pod! On the boat, we enjoyed freshly grilled burgers, got dolphin tattoos, and the cheerful crew even danced the hula, making for an incredibly fun time. They also provided free drinking water, which I thought was a great way to prepare for the surprisingly exhausting snorkeling that left us thirsty.

On the way back, the bus had a temporary breakdown and took about an hour to repair before we could set off again. However, thanks to the staff member Mai, who kept us entertained with conversation until we reached our hotel in Honolulu, we managed to get there without too much trouble. I was a bit scared that the bus might break down again along the way, but now it’s a good memory.

This tour became the highlight of my trip. While luck seems to play a part, I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to meet wild dolphins!

友人と二人で参加しました。
野生のイルカを見たい！と思って参加しましたがイルカだけでなくウミガメにも出会えて本当に感動しました。
船上から安全を願って歌と花をささげ早速海へ。私たちはダイビングやシュノーケルを日本でやったことがあったので特に問題なかったです。1回目はほんの一瞬イルカが見えただけでしたが少し場所を移動した2回目はすぐ近くでウミガメを見ることができましたし、イルカも群れで15頭ほどいました♪船上ではその場で焼いたバーガーを食べたり、イルカのタトゥーを貼ってもらったり、そして愉快なクルーがフラを踊ってくれたりとテンション上がりまくりでとっても楽しい時間を過ごせました。自由に飲めるお水も置いてあり意外と体力を消耗し喉も渇くシュノーケルへの対策がなされていると思いました。
帰りのバスが一時故障し1時間ほど修理をし、再出発するというトラブルがありましたが、スタッフのマイさんがホノルルのホテルに着くまで話をして気を紛らわせて下さったお陰でなんとかホテルまで着きました。バスが途中でダメにならないかと怖い思いをしましたが、今となってはいい思い出です。
このツアーは今回の旅の中で一番の思い出になりました。運もあるようですが野生のイルカに会いたいは方にはオススメです‼︎

Luxury Ko Olina Sunset Cruise with Snorkeling, Dinner Buffet & Premium Cocktails - Ocean Joy Cruises

An absolutely wonderful time!

Reviewed by: Alison B

My fiancé and I went on the Snorkel and Sunset cruise the second week of November. The bus pick-up was extremely easy and allowed for worry-free drinks on the cruise.

The cruise was spectacular. The orientation was clear and made us both feel comfortable. The snorkel spot selected was stunning and quite safe feeling. We saw many tropical fish and even had a ray breeze past! We spotted a humpback whale breaching and so the captain took us on over for a closer look.

The Kalua pork was tasty for dinner and the crew went out of their way to make sure we were all satisfied. We were treated to a beautiful sunset and leisurely cruise back to harbor.

Overall satisfied ★ But is there one more step? おおむね満足★でもあと一歩？

Reviewed by: man

This was my first time in Hawaii for our honeymoon. My husband wanted to go snorkeling, so we chose this tour where we could swim with dolphins and enjoy snorkeling as well.

First, we were given flowers and had a touching moment of prayer together as we faced the sea. The main dolphin watching part was a bit intense; as soon as we arrived at the spot, we had to jump into the cold water without any warm-up or getting used to it, which made me a bit worried about having a heart attack! The experience of swimming with dolphins was different from what I imagined; instead of leisurely swimming alongside them, it felt more like a hurried attempt to catch a glimpse of the dolphins swimming below us while snorkeling. Since the dolphins are wild animals, it wasn't the relaxing experience I had hoped for.

The dolphin watching was over in an instant, and since some people didn't get to see them, we had a total of two watching sessions, but it felt like we were only in the water for about five minutes, which honestly left me wanting more. After that, we returned to the boat, but it was quite cold with the sea breeze, making it really uncomfortable until we reached the next snorkeling spot. I highly recommend wearing a thick hoodie and bringing a large towel.

The snorkeling afterward was satisfying because we got to see sea turtles up close, which was different from the main dolphin watching. However, the snorkeling time was relatively short, and it felt like it was over before we knew it. It wasn't a leisurely experience but more of a quick taste of it. After returning to the boat, we had a lunch that was labeled as BBQ, which turned out to be cheeseburgers. I had seen reviews about this beforehand, so I was prepared, but those expecting a BBQ might feel a bit misled. The taste was good, though.

Afterward, we enjoyed dancing the hula and taking photos, which was fun. However, in the covered area at the back, the deck leading to the second floor obstructed the view, and there was a noticeable difference in enthusiasm between the guests in front and those behind. Since we were seated at the back, I think some adjustments could be made for better visibility for everyone.

▼ Points of Concern
- The BBQ was misleading since I had an image of grilled meat; the cheeseburger label could cause confusion.
- Water was leaking from the air conditioning in the shuttle bus, soaking some guests.
- The photo data was quite expensive.
- The small boat made it feel like we had to be considerate of others during the move, and depending on the seat, the stairs blocked the view and sound of staff explanations and dances.
- There were no napkins or tissues provided for wiping hands after eating burgers and chips, which made things a bit difficult and the seats tended to get dirty.
- There was little consideration for those feeling cold or seasick; it would have been nice to have some towels or something prepared.

▼ Positive Aspects
- The moment of throwing flowers during the prayer was romantic.
- We got to see sea turtles up close.
- The music on the boat was lively.
- The temporary tattoo stickers were a nice touch.

For those who have participated in other tours or are of a more mature age, you might notice some issues with the facilities, timing, and service. If this were a monitor tour price, I would be satisfied, but at the regular price, I would like to see a bit more in terms of quality and time allocation.

I may have been a bit critical, but I’m really glad I was able to participate.

ハネムーンで初のハワイでした。旦那さんがシュノーケリングをしたいとの事で、イルカと泳げてシュノーケルも楽しめるこちらのツアーにしました。
まずお花を配られて海に向かって皆でのお祈りの時間は感動しました♪
メインのイルカウォッチングは、イルカがいる地点に着くと「今からすぐ行くよ！」という感じでそれまで一切準備運動や水に触れる事なくイキナリ冷たい海に飛び込まないといけないので、ちょっと心臓発作にならないか心配になりました；
メインのイルカと泳ぐツアーは少し想像と違っていて、イルカと泳ぐというよりはシュノーケルで真下を泳ぐイルカを急いで見る！みたいな少しせわしないものでした笑
イルカは野生で自然の生き物ですから、ゆっくり横で見れる～という感じではないのでもともとの私のイメージが少し期待しすぎたかもしれません＾＾；
イルカウォッチングは一瞬で終わってしまい、見れない方がいたので合計2回のウォッチングとなりましたが、海にいたのはものの5分程度？と思う程短かったので1回だけでは正直かなり物足りなかった気がします。。
その後船に戻りましたが、海風もあってかなり寒く……。次のシュノーケルの地点まで本当に寒くてツライ位でした；
参加される方はしっかり厚手のパーカと大き目のバスタオルは必須です。

その後のシュノーケリングは、メインのイルカウォッチングと違って海ガメを近くで見ながら泳ぐ事が出来て満足です♪
ただ、こちらもシュノーケルの時間が割と短く、もう終わりか～という感じでした。
ゆっくり楽しんだ！という時間ではなく、ちょっと体験！みたいな時間ですね。
船に戻ってからは、ＢＢＱという名のチーズバーガーの昼食時間。
ＢＢＱの件は事前に口コミを見ていたので、了承済みですがＢＢＱと思って参加される方は「これだけ？」となると思いますので少し過大表記しすぎかと…。
味はおいしいです。

その後は帰りまでフラを踊ったり、写真を撮ったりと盛り上げてくれるのは楽しかったです。
が、奥の屋根付きの所だと二階へのデッキが邪魔で全然見えず、前の客と後の客の温度差が…笑
こちらも奥の座席だったのでちょっと、もう少し皆がみやすい様に工夫が必要かと思います。

▼気になった点
・ＢＢＱは、焼き肉のイメージを持つのでチーズバーガーという表記が誤解がないのでは？
・送迎バスのクーラーから水が漏れていて、お客さんにすごい水掛かっていた
・写真データがあまりに高い
・小ぶりの船で、移動には他の人に気を使う感じだったのと、席によっては階段が邪魔でスタッフの説明やダンスなどが見えない＆聞こえない
・ハンバーガーやポテトチップスを食べるが手をふくものやティッシュもなく（数人に配ったら途中でなくなっちゃった、ごめんね～という感じ）ちょっと大変＆席が汚れがち
・さむがっている人や酔っている人には特に配慮がない（数枚でもタオルや何か用意していてもいいかな）

▼よかった点
・お祈りの時間で花を投げたのがロマンチック
・海ガメが近くで見れた
・海での音楽で盛り上がった
・タトゥーシールがちょっとうれしい

他のツアーなどに参加された経験のある方や割と大人の年齢の方だと設備面や時間、対応などが少し目につく所があると思います。モニターツアーでの価格なら納得♪ですが、正規の料金だともう少し充実度（時間の幅取り）がほしいかなと思います。

少し辛口でしたが、参加できたことはすごく良かったです。

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

Dolphins! Dolphins! Dolphins!

Reviewed by: Karol Lisboa

Booking with VELTRA was really easy and fast, I gave them my information and they took care of the rest for me.

Dolphin Excursions Hawaii was also great! I had no problems with my pick up and
the boat crew was kind, friendly and helpful, they took many incredible pictures during the tour.

The West Side of the Island is beautiful. Snorkeling was amaaazing, we spotted so many dolphins, turtles and different species of fish. After the tour we had lunch at the Spinners Cafe, the food was very tasty.

I love marine life, especially dolphins, they are incredible animals! I had a lot of fun! This tour was the highlight of my trip.
