All Reviews for Oahu Snorkeling Tours

I usually participated in dolphin swims at Sea Hawaii. This was my first time participating at Dolphin Middle School. Although the weather was nice, the water clarity was poor, and I couldn't see even one meter ahead. The staff tried their best to make it enjoyable, but it was very disappointing.

いつもはシーハワイでドルフィンスイムに参加していました。はじめてのイルカ中学での参加。天気は良かったものの、水の透明度がなく、ほんの１ｍ先も見えないほど。スタッフの方は一生懸命に楽しませてくれようとしていましたが、とても残念でした。

This is a recommended plan for first-time visitors to Hawaii.

The sandbar can be seen or not depending on the tide, but since it's shallow, even small children were playing there.

We moved to snorkel around the coral reef, and it was fun to see so many fish.

It's also nice that you can stop by points where you can see sea turtles during the移動中.

初めてハワイに来た人はオススメのプランです。

サンドバーは潮のみちひきで見れたり見れなかったりしますが、浅瀬になっているので小さい子供も遊んでいました。

移動して珊瑚礁の周りをシュノーケルしたのですが魚がいっぱい見れて楽しいです。

移動中にウミガメが見れるポイントに寄って見たり出来るのもいいです^ ^

This is my second time and I will still recommend it to my friends.

Saw the dolphins up close and it was fun.

Very safe and effortless.

My 11-year-old grandson unexpectedly had fun playing volleyball in the sea. We started on the boat, but there was a beautiful shallow area in the ocean! Just seeing that made us exclaim in excitement, and then we could get down and play volleyball too! The staff were very attentive, providing thorough explanations and ensuring safety.

11才の孫が、思いがけなく海水に入りながらバレーボール出来、楽しかったと言ってました。船でスタートしたのに、海に綺麗な浅瀬が❗それだけでわぁーっと声が出たのに、降りられバレーボールまで❗説明も丁寧、そして安全面でも気をかけているスタッフの方々の対応も良かったです

As soon as I arrived, it was raining, and I felt a bit chilly and anxious, but the staff were very kind, which made me feel at ease. I also found several turtles, making it a very fulfilling day.

着いたとたんに雨で、肌寒く不安でしたが、スタッフの方も、とても親切で安心して過ごせました。
亀も何匹もみつけて、とても充実した１日でした。

It was a beautifully sunny day, and the sea was incredibly clear—perfect for snorkeling! A great day for a tour!!!

We excitedly set off on the boat with the cheerful crew and the cool female captain!

I made sure to check the low tide times, so we were able to enjoy the shallow waters perfectly.

Around the shallow area, there was a sudden drop-off, and we all put on our life jackets and snorkeling masks to head out to the drop-off. Beyond the drop-off, the sea was really deep. But with life jackets on and the crew always keeping an eye on us, I felt safe.

Actually, when I went to the Maldives for my honeymoon, I was scared of the drop-off and regretted not going further. But here, I was able to get my revenge!!

Under the sea, it was a world of colorful fish!!!! In the clear, beautiful water with vibrant fish, it truly felt like paradise.

We went on the morning tour, but we could only enjoy breakfast (a light snack) around lunchtime (laughs).

The participation fee is a bit pricey, but both my child and I were very satisfied. The crew was incredibly cheerful and attentive, and they were kind to my child as well. My older child tends to get motion sickness, but they were fine!

I'm glad I participated.

その日はきれいに晴れた日で海もとてもきれいでまさにシュノーケリング日和！
ツアー日和！！！
陽気なクルーの皆さんとかっこいい女性キャプテンの船で張り切って出発！！

しっかり干潮の時間も調べて行ったので、ばっちり浅瀬が楽しめました。

浅瀬の周りは突然深くなるドロップオフがあり、ライフジャケットとシュノーケリングマスクを
つけてドロップオフの先へみんなで行きます。
ドロップオフの先は本当に深い海。でもライフジャケットもあるし、クルーの皆さんが常に以上がないか気を配ってくれているので安心です。

実は新婚旅行でモルディブへ行った時、ドロップオフの先が怖くて底から先へ進めずに
帰国してきたことを若干後悔していたのですが、ここでリベンジを果たすことができました！！

海の中はまあ～～～色とりどりの魚の世界！！！！
透き通ったきれいな海に鮮やかな魚、まさに天国の海です。

午前出発の部で行きましたが、朝食（軽食）が楽しめるのはほぼお昼の時間です（笑）

参加費が少し値が張りますが、私も子供もとても大満足でした。
クルーの皆さんもとにかく明るくてとっても気が利くし、子供にも親切にしていただけました。
上の子が乗り物酔いしやすいのですが、大丈夫でした！

参加してよかったです。

It was my first time snorkeling, and the instructions were very thorough, allowing me to get used to it quickly! In the clear sea, I was able to see many fish, making it an incredible experience. During the transfer, the guide shared insights about the town, making for a fulfilling tour. While some people swam without renting a wetsuit, I found it warm and it provided extra buoyancy, so for someone like me who wasn't confident in swimming, it was the right choice to rent one.

初めてのシュノーケリングでしたが、丁寧に説明してくださり、すぐに慣れることができました！透き通った海ではたくさんの魚を見ることが出来、感動的な体験となりました。送迎中も街並みを見ながらガイドしていただき、充実したツアーでした。ウェットスーツは借りずに泳がれている方ももちろんいましたが、温かく、浮力も増すため、泳ぎに自信が無かった私は、借りて正解でした。

You are super close to the fishes under the water and you can see a lot of variety of them and I even saw 4 turtles from a close distance.
The staff are very friendly and gives you good guidance on every step of the activity.
The only drawback is the time underwater was only 15 minutes and when you are which flew by very quickly.

Note: You don't need to know how to swim to do this activity.

Everything we hoped for and more. Check-in was fast and easy; they even have presc. Goggles. The staff (Capt Jenn and the two Nikki's) were helpful and provided excellent customer service. We saw dolphins, whales, and sea turtles.

Must do when in Oahu.

I wasn't able to see dolphins, but I did get to meet turtles and swim with them. In the past, I had a frustrating experience when my group was unable to see turtles at the sandbar, so I was very happy and moved this time. Unfortunately, I didn't get to see the dolphins I was hoping for, but I can try again for free next time, which gives me a reason to come back to Hawaii. I think it's a very fair company.

イルカには会うことができませんでしたが、亀に会うことができ一緒に泳ぐことができました。以前、サンドバーで私達だけ亀を見ることができなかったことがあり悔しい思いをしたことがあるのでとても嬉しく感動しました。目的のイルカには残念ながら会えませんでしたが、次回無料で再チャレンジできるということですので、またハワイに来る目的ができました。とても良心的な会社だと思います。

I traveled to Hawaii with my aunty and this was on top of our to do list and it didnt dissapoint! We had a fantastic time and said when we go back we would definitely do it again! Beautiful ocean and lovely staff, we saw fish and turtles in their natural habitat....it was so serene thankyou to the friendly staff that ensures our safety and made sure we had a fantastic experience. Mohalo and Aloha

The Japanese staff were very helpful, and their explanations were really easy to understand. They even made jokes, which added some laughter to the tour, and I was very satisfied! However, the sandbar was submerged due to high tide, which was different from what I had imagined. It's a natural phenomenon, so there's nothing that can be done about it, but I was a little disappointed about that... Still, I had a great time! Next time, I want to join the tour when the tide is low!

日本人のスタッフさんもいて、説明もすごく分かりやすかった。ジョークとかも言いながらで笑いもありツアーは大満足です！
ただサンドバーが潮が満ちてて、イメージと違った。自然現象のだから仕方ないことだけど、そこだけちょっと残念だったな、、、
でもすごく楽しかったです(^^)今度は潮が満ちてない時を狙ってツアーに参加したいです(*´꒳`*)

This was a pleasant day, unfortunately the boat really didn't go far from the marina. The only fish we saw were bated by the crew. No whale or dolphin sightings. They fed us lunch at the end of the day nearly 3 a bit hard for kids and adults consuming alcohol. Nothing really bad however not a remarkable day considering the price.

I participated in this tour at the request of a friend. We went into the sea three times in total: twice to see dolphins and once for other fish and turtles. It was a warm and calm day, but wearing a wetsuit was essential. Those who didn't rent one were shivering and had blue lips when they came back up after the second dive. I feel that the prior information provided was insufficient. I think it's important to clearly explain the use of masks and how to dive for first-timers. The person in charge of our group did not provide any explanation in that regard. However, we were able to encounter a large group of dolphins, which was our main goal, so I was very satisfied with that aspect. The dolphins get a perfect score, while the guidance deserves three stars.

友人の希望によりこのツアーに参加しました。
イルカを見るために２回、その他　魚、亀のために１回の計３回海に入ります
暖かく穏やかな日でしたが、ウエットスーツは必須でした。借りずにいた人たちは２回目
上がってきたときには、寒さで震えていて唇が青くなっていました。事前の案内が不足しているように思います。初めての人にはマスクや飛び込み方をしっかり伝えた方がいいと思います。私たちの担当の人はそのあたりの説明が全くありませんでした。イルカは大群に遭遇できて目的は無事に達することができた点は大満足です。イルカは満点、案内は３つ星です

Fantastic wsy to finish our stay in Hawaii. Great team, friendly and really added to the experience. Thanks Rich, Michelle & Corbin.

I participated in a tour with my wife in early March! We were picked up early in the morning at Aloha Landing. During the ride, our guide (who was Japanese) provided entertaining explanations, making the journey to our destination enjoyable! After nearly an hour on the bus, we arrived and boarded the boat to head out to sea! Along the way, we sang a song in Hawaiian to pray for safety.

About 30 minutes later, we reached a spot where we could see dolphins. Although there was a chance we might not see any, it seemed we had a very lucky day, as we encountered many dolphins, much to our guide's surprise! We were truly healed by the sight of the adorable dolphins and their cute sounds.

After that, we went back a bit to snorkel and see sea turtles and fish. Unfortunately, I didn't get to see any, but others in the tour said they saw sea turtles! When we returned to the boat, we enjoyed hamburgers and snacks. Eating a hamburger in the great outdoors was exceptional.

The guide and the person driving the boat were both fun, and it was a wonderful tour that allowed us to connect with the dolphins and nature. If I have the chance to come to Hawaii again, I definitely want to participate again! I encourage everyone to join this tour; you won't forget Hawaii!

もう一度ハワイに来ることがあれば必ず参加したい
と思っています！皆さんも是非参加して見てください！ハワイが忘れられなくなりますよ

We decided to participate at my daughter's request. To sum it up, we encountered a lot of dolphins!! We even spotted a whale in the distance!!! I think many people probably thought it was amazing. However, our family of five... maybe lacking stamina, all five of us refused to get in the water a second time (^^;) If you ask me if it was fun, to be honest, I would say "..." but I think it was good as another memory.

娘の希望で参加を決めました。結論から言えば、沢山のイルカに遭遇！！遠くにクジラも発見！！！多分、最高だったと思った方達も多くいると思います。しかし我々家族５人...体力がないのか２回目の着水は５人とも拒否(^^;)私は終始海へのエサまき状態（苦笑）楽しかったかと聞かれたら正直なところ「・・・」ですが、それもまた思い出の一つとして良かったと思います。

hospitable crew, great food and facilities. It had been a wonderful experience!

According to the tour guide, there had been no sightings of dolphins for the past three days, so we participated with a heartfelt wish to meet wild dolphins. We all recited a traditional Hawaiian prayer with the boat staff, and perhaps it reached them, as we encountered a pod of dolphins just like in the pictures! We were truly moved to see wild spinner dolphins jumping. My husband and I still can't forget the moment we heard the dolphins' voices.

This tour offers experiences that you can only have on a guided tour, so I highly recommend it! Please consider joining!

添乗員さんによると、ここ三日くらいイルカが見れないことがあったとのことで、
野生のイルカに会えることを心からお願いしながら参加。
船のスタッフの方とハワイならではの祈りの言葉みんなで唱え、それが届いたのか、
写真のようなイルカの群れに遭遇！ジャンプする野生のハシナガイルカの姿も見れ、本当に大感動。
夫婦で共に、イルカの声を聞けたことが今でも忘れられません。

ツアーでしか体験できないことが安心と共に体験できるので本当にこのツアーはおすすめです！
是非参加してみてください。

This is the second time I've booked the exact same tour, and I recommended it to a family who was going for the first time, so we participated together! This time, the water was shallow and it was sunny, so we were able to see a different sandbar compared to last time☆ Next time, I want to see it when the water is completely low♡

今回まったく同じツアーを申し込んだのは2回目で、初めて行くファミリーにオススメして一緒に参加しました！今回の水の深さは浅くてしかも晴れていたので前回とはまた違ったサンドバーを見ることができました☆ 今度は完全に水がひいてる状態を見てみたいです♡

We loved our time on the snorkeling and dinner cruise excursion. Well worth the price. Our captain gave great instruction and safety procedures. He also took us up snd close to a whale which gave us quite a show within 25 yards or so. The time by the shore snorkeling was impressive. Lots of fish.
The dinner was delicious with plenty of variety of drinks both spirited and not. I enjoyed the time to enjoy the sunset. Beautiful. There are two restrooms where you can change. Two shower hoses to rinse off after you snorkel. Staff was great. Underwater photographer was along for optional photo package you can purchase.

We used the service with three generations of our family. It was sunny, so we were lucky to have a beautiful view of the sea. The staff took a lot of photos for us. My child, who was snorkeling for the first time, struggled a bit, but they gave it their all. Despite being warned about the dangers of touching the coral, we fell behind the group and felt left out when we couldn't find our way back from the coral to the sandbar. It felt a bit harsh for those who aren't strong swimmers. Other than that, the staff was friendly. We also saw a sea turtle while snorkeling. The restroom on the boat was used by the kids, but I felt reluctant to use it myself. There are public restrooms near the boarding area (although we were told not to use them due to time constraints...). The return bus wasn't as cold as some reviews suggested. I'm glad we got to visit the sandbar, but I think once is enough.

家族3世代で利用しました。
晴れていたので海がきれいでラッキーでした。
写真もスタッフの方にたくさん撮って頂きました。
シュノーケリングは初めてやるわが子がうまく出来ず、それでも一生懸命やりました。
散々、サンゴに触れたら危ないなど言っていたのに、みんなの列から遅れをとってしっまった私たち、サンゴからサンドバーに戻る場所も案内してもらえず、置いて行かれた気分になり、泳ぎの下手な人には冷たいなーと感じました。
それ以外はフレンドリーに接して頂きました。ウミガメもシュノーケリング中見れました。
船内のトイレは、子供たちはりようしていましたが、私はなんだか利用するのが億劫で使いませんでした。船乗り場付近に公衆トイレがあります。（時間がないので利用するなといわれますが・・・）帰りのバスは口コミで書かれるほど寒くありませんでした。
サンドバーに行ってみたかったので良かったです。が一度で十分だと思います。

I was able to see sea turtles, and the sandbar was very beautiful. I didn't expect much from the sandwiches, but they were surprisingly delicious.

I was prepared for the cold, so I brought a thick bath towel and a jacket.

ウミガメも見られたし、サンドバーはとても綺麗でした。
サンドイッチも期待していませんでしたが意外と美味しかったです。

寒いのは覚悟していたので厚手のバスタオルと上着を持っていきました。

My BF & I were looking for something just like this since it had been many years since we both went snorkeling. Our guides were friendly, prompt, and knew what they were doing. They provided all the equipment and snacks for later. They made it very easy and it was a great trip! Would definitely recommend and use them again! Oh and they allow you to dl the photos they take for free!!

The trip was a lot of fun. The crew was great and fun to enteract with throughout the day. The only downside was the dolphins were not participating that day.

We did get to swim with the turtles and snorkle in beautiful waters. The crew was very energetic and the photo package was definately worth the money. I was happy to get the great shots of me and my son playing in the water. A big thanks to Melissa.

This was my third time at Dolphin University. Although we had a different guide than before, it was still a lot of fun. The sea was calm and the visibility was a bit low, but we were able to meet the dolphin instructors. I would like to participate again.

今回で３回目のイルカ大学でした。前回までとは違うガイドさんでしたが、変わらず楽しかったです。海は凪いでいて透明度も低めでしたが、ちゃんとイルカ先生に出会えました。また参加したいと思います。

I was able to see dolphins, but they were quite far away. Aside from the dolphins, it didn't seem like there were any coral or tropical fish in the area, so I got bored quickly. There was a vibe of trying to do things on a budget, and the cost-effectiveness was low. The weather was nice, so I'll give it two stars.

イルカは見れましたが、かなり遠かった。
イルカ以外は、珊瑚 熱帯魚 がいる海域ではないようですぐ飽きてしまった。
コストをかけずになんとかしようという雰囲気があり、費用対効果は低かった。
天気が良かったので、星ふたつですね。

Fun sailing and snorkeling combo tour. Although the visibility was poor this day, they offered discounted tours for those who wanted to come again. I got lucky and came face to face with a nice sized honu, so no visibility problem when it's literally almost in your face.

Well worth the price!

Depending on the timing, you can see wild dolphins up close. I was also moved to see a pod of dolphins swimming nearby. The 6-year-old children were also very excited, desperately swimming and watching the dolphins.

タイミングによりますが、野生のイルカを至近距離で見れます。更にイルカの群れが近くを泳ぐのを見て感動しました。6歳の子供達も必死で泳ぎながら、イルカを見て大興奮でした。

Overall, it was a satisfying tour according to various information sites. The scenery was amazing. However, it was disappointing that we couldn't experience canoeing due to the rough waves. Also, the water clarity during snorkeling was not good, which was unfortunate.

色々な情報サイトの通り、全体的に満足できるツアーです。景色は最高でした。しかし、波が荒かったのでカヌー体験ができなかったのが残念です。それと、シュノーケリング時の水の透明度も良くなくて残念。
