The experience was fantastic, saw whales as well as dolphins. The staff was very impressive as well, showed us a lot of stuff while we were snorkeling as well as from the boat. Staff was very knowledgeable and personable! Food was OK. Ship was very nice! We had a great time, would highly recommend!

I participated in other activities as well, but my high school-aged child said this was the most fun. My elementary school-aged daughter was scared of snorkeling and couldn't get in the water, so she didn't enjoy it as much. I thought it was great to experience various cultures through songs and dances. There were many staff members, so I felt safe participating. I highly recommend this tour.
他のアクティビティにも参加しましたが高校生の子供は1番楽しいと言ってました。小学生の娘はシュノーケリングが怖くて中々入水出来ずイマイチとの感想てました。歌や踊りなど色々な文化にも触れられて私は良かったと思います。
スタッフも多く安心して参加させて頂きました
大変オススメ出来るツアーだと思います。

It was an early departure, but the weather was nice, and it was a fun experience unique to Hawaii. However, it might have been challenging for those who are not good at swimming. I also requested photos as an option, but it seems I wasn't captured well in them. It might have been better if there was a system to purchase after viewing. The tour itself was enjoyable. I used a lot of energy, so on the way back, I was completely exhausted and fell asleep on the bus.
朝早い出発でしたが天気も良く、ハワイならではの体験で楽しかったです。ただ、泳ぎが苦手な人には大変だったかもしれません。オプションで写真もお願いしましたが、あまり映ってなかったようです。見てから購入できるシステムだとよかったかもしれません。ツアー自体は楽しかったです。体力使ったので、帰りのバスの中では、まさにぐったり眠ってしまったようです。

After an hour on a tour bus from Honolulu, we set sail from the west coast of Oahu on a cruiser. We spotted dolphins about 30 minutes in. After a brief snorkeling explanation on the cruiser, as soon as we found the dolphin pod, we jumped in from the cruiser. The dolphins were clearly visible from the cruiser, but through the snorkel, we could only faintly see them in the distance.
However, after moving the cruiser to shallower waters, we encountered sea turtles. Swimming with them was amazing. We could also swim with tropical fish.
I am truly grateful to the Japanese camera operator who provided various explanations. The photos taken were great snaps and became wonderful memories.
ホノルルからツアーバスで1時間、オアフ島の西海岸からクルーザーで出航。30分くらいでイルカを発見。クルーザー内でスノーケリングの簡単な説明を受けた後、イルカ群を発見するや否や、クルーザーからジャンプ・飛び込み。イルカはクルーザーからはよく見えましたが、スノーケルでは、遠くにかすかに見えただけでした。
しかし、その後、クルーザーで浅瀬に移動したあとは、ウミガメに遭遇。一緒に泳げ最高でした。熱帯魚とも一緒に泳げます。

We participated as a family, and we were the only Japanese people there. When I conveyed that I wasn't very good at English in broken phrases, the captain said, "No problem." Anyway, all four crew members worked hard, were attentive to the guests, and were very friendly, which felt great. The sky, which was cloudy in the morning, cleared up, and we were able to see dolphins, sea turtles, and a family of sea lions.
For snorkeling, they provided life jackets, so I felt safe and enjoyed it. However, after swimming, it gets very cold when the sea breeze hits you, so I think it's better to bring a towel (and a jacket) with you.
It became a wonderful memory.

シュノーケリングも、ライフジャケットを貸してくれるので安心して楽しめました。ただ泳いだあとは、海風に当たるととても寒いので、しっかりタオルを(上着も)持っていったほうがいいと思います。

We encountered a pod of dolphins! At the "Turtle House" they took us to, there were several large sea turtles. Thank you for a fun time! I would like to use Sea Hawaii's wild dolphin snorkeling cruise and private charter again next time.

Snorkeling was my first experience, but I felt安心 because there were Japanese staff members. We headed to a spot where we could see dolphins by boat and dove into the sea twice, but we couldn't see any dolphins... After changing locations, we finally saw dolphins on the third dive! (And they were so close!!!) I heard that usually, you can see them from the first dive, so maybe our timing was just bad... After that, we moved to a spot with sea turtles and tropical fish, and had some time to play with SUP and slides. The sea was incredibly clear and it was amazing!!! As a side note, I took motion sickness medicine before getting on the boat, but I still felt a bit nauseous... I took some more medicine along the way, so I recommend bringing extra if you're worried about getting sick.
シュノーケリングは初体験でしたが、日本人のスタッフさんが居るので安心です。
イルカの見えるスポットに船で向かい、2度海へダイブしましたがイルカの姿が見えず...
また場所を変えて3度目でしっかりイルカが見れました!(しかも近い!!!)
普段は1回目から見えるそうで、私たちのタイミングが悪かったのかもしれません...。
その後、ウミガメや熱帯魚のいる場所へ移動し、SUPや滑り台などをして遊ぶ時間がありました。
海が凄く透き通ってて最高でした!!!
余談ですが、船に乗る前に、酔い止めを飲みましたが、やっぱり少し酔いました...。
途中で酔い止めを追加して飲んだので、心配な方は多めに持って行くことをオススメします。
Every encounter with the wild animals living in the vast ocean is different, but the excitement when you do meet them is truly special. Thank you for the advice on motion sickness! It's said that taking it once the night before and once again on the morning of the trip works very well, so please give it a try if you can. Mahalo.

In Honolulu, where the COVID-19 situation is improving, I felt there were still few Japanese tourists. Nevertheless, I participated alone this time. We moved towards Ko Olina and boarded a lovely boat from the harbor. Without any rocking, we encountered a pod of dolphins after about 20 minutes. Then we moved to a snorkeling spot and had an encounter with a sea turtle. After returning to the boat, I enjoyed some drinks and lunch, even though I was alone. A few people, including the captain, spoke Japanese, which was considerate for me as a solo traveler. Since there are few Japanese tourists, it might be understandable, but I think the fast-paced English explanations would be quite challenging without strong language skills. If possible, I would have appreciated it if printed translations of the explanations in Japanese were provided. Overall, it was a satisfying tour.
コロナが収まりつつあるホノルルは、まだ日本人が少ない印象でした。
それでも今回は一人で参加させていただきました。
コオリナ方面へ移動して、ハーバーから素敵な船に乗船してさど揺れることなく移動して約20分でイルカの群れに遭遇しました。
それからシュノーケリングのポイントに移動してウミガメとの遭遇。
船に戻って一人でしたがお酒やランチで堪能しました。
船長をはじめ数人が日本語を話せたので一人旅の私に気遣っていただきました。
日本人が少ないので仕方ないかもしれませんが、早口の英語の説明はよほどの語学力がないと厳しいと思います。
可能であれば、説明の内容を日本語の和訳でプリントしたものを配布していただけるとありがたかったと思いました。
トータル的には満足したツアーでした。

I couldn't swim with the dolphins. I could only watch them swimming from the boat. I was really disappointed because I joined thinking I would be able to swim with them.
The website mentioned dolphin watching, but it was only on the top page, and the wording on other pages was ambiguous, leading me to believe I would be swimming close to the dolphins, but instead, I just watched them from the boat for a few minutes.
There are still videos on YouTube showing people swimming with dolphins, which feels misleading, like a promotional ad.
The snorkeling afterward had no corals or tropical fish at all; what were we supposed to see in such a barren sea? I was told by the crew that we would see turtles, but there were none. Other guests quickly got out of the water and seemed bored on the boat.
The only fun part was the slide, but paying 20,000 yen per person for this experience is way too high and not worth it. I've participated in various tours before, but this was the least satisfying and the most expensive.
The lunch was not tasty either. The optional photos, which are also quite expensive, are definitely not worth it. The pictures we took ourselves were much better, and since we couldn't swim with the fish, turtles, or dolphins, we ended up with photos of just floating in the sea or sitting on the boat.
I absolutely do not recommend this tour. I even wonder if they set such high prices because they are struggling with fewer customers. I regret not choosing a different tour.
イルカと一緒には泳げません。船の上からイルカが泳いでいるのを眺めるだけ。イルカと泳げると思い参加しただけに残念でなりません。
HPにはイルカウォッチングと記載がありましたが、TOPページに載っているのみで、他のページにはイルカと泳げる様な曖昧な書き方だった為、イルカの近くには行けないけど、見える距離で一緒に泳ぐのかなと思い参加しましたが、船の上から数分イルカを眺めるだけです。
YouTubeにもイルカと泳いでいる動画が未だに載せてあったり、誘導広告のようで、紛らわしいです。
その後のシュノーケルは珊瑚も熱帯魚も全くおらず、何も居ない海で何を見ろと言うのでしょうか?
亀と会えると搭乗員から言われていたのに、亀も居ない。他のお客さんも早々に海から上がりつまらなそうに船でしてました。
唯一滑り台だけが面白かったですが、これで1人2万円の料金は高すぎて割に合わない。今まで色々なツアーに参加しましたが1番満足度が低く、高額でした。
お弁当も美味しくない。オプションで付けられる、これまた高額な写真は絶対に付けない方がいい。自分達で撮った方がよっぽど良い写真ばかりで、魚も亀もイルカとも泳げないので、ただ海に浮いてるだけ、船に座ってるだけの写真です。
こちらのツアー絶対にオススメしません。
客が少なくなり、経営厳しいからなのか、こんなに内容と見合っていない高額な金額設定にしているのではないかとさえ思います。違うツアーにすれば良かったと後悔です。

I signed up for the Dolphin School with the expectation of seeing dolphins. It was mentioned that there was a good chance of encountering them, but unfortunately, I was unable to see any dolphins. Since it was an early morning tour, I was quite tired. However, if you don't encounter dolphins, the next time you participate in the same tour, the tour fee is free, so I plan to take revenge on my next trip to Hawaii.
イルカを見る事ができると期待して、イルカ中学を申し込みました。かなりの確率でイルカに遭遇出来るとありましたが、残念ながらイルカに遭遇する事ができませんでした。早朝スタートのツアーだったため、かなり疲れました。イルカに遭遇出来なかった場合は、次回同じツアー参加の際はツアー料金無料との事ですので、次回ハワイ旅行の際にはリベンジするつもりです。

Since it was the season, I was able to see whales. That said, they were quite far away, and I only saw their spouts and tails... Unfortunately, during the dolphin swim, I didn't encounter any dolphins, but on the way back, I was able to see some resting dolphins from the boat in the shallow waters where they make their beds. There was also time for snorkeling, but since a large group was chasing the turtles all at once, both the fish and turtles got scared, and I only got to see them properly for about five minutes. Depending on luck, it does feel a bit overpriced, especially since I paid over 20,000 yen, but considering the transportation and lunch included, I guess this is what you get with the high prices in Hawaii and the impact of COVID-19 on the tourism industry. However, the staff were truly kind and reliable; even though I participated alone, they were always considerate, and I had a great time. Due to the holiday season, the boat was fully booked with people from Europe, America, and China, but the waves were high, and the boat was rocking, leading to many people getting seasick. After the middle of the trip, it turned into a scene from hell. It might be better to aim for the off-season for various reasons.
シーズンということで、クジラも見れました。と言ってもかなり遠くで、潮吹きと尾っぽのみでしたが…肝心のドルフィンスイムではイルカに出会えず、帰り際にイルカたちが寝床にしている浅瀬で、お休み中のイルカを船上から見ることができました。シュノーケリングの時間もありますが、大人数で一斉にカメを追いかけるため、魚もカメも怖がってしまい、まともに見れたのは5分程度です。運次第ではありますが、2万円以上払っただけに全体的には割高感は否めませんが、送迎とランチ付きでハワイの物価の高さ&コロナ禍の観光業となるとこうなってしまうのかとしれません。ただ本当にスタッフの皆さんは優しくて頼もしく、1人参加でしたが常に気遣ってもらい楽しく過ごせました。なおホリデーシーズンのため欧米や中国の方で満席状態でしたが、とにかく波が高くて船が揺れるため船酔いする人が続出。中盤以降は地獄絵図と化していました。色々な意味でシーズンオフを狙った方が良いかもしれません。
