Forgotten items 忘れ物

Reviewed by: ゆたか

The tour was explained thoroughly in Japanese, and I had a great time.

After the tour experience, a young child was fussy on the bus, which was quite challenging. Then... I realized my wife's smartphone was missing.

I immediately contacted the tour company, and they responded kindly via email and phone. By the next morning, it was back in our hands.

I am filled with gratitude that the precious photos from the tour were returned to us. Thank you to all the staff who worked hard to help us.

ツアーは説明も日本語でしっかり説明してくださり、とても楽しかったです。

ツアー体験後、バスの中で幼少の子供がぐずり大変でした。
そして…慌てて対応してくれた、妻のスマホがないことがわかりました。

すぐにツアー会社さんに連絡をとりメール、電話連絡で丁寧に対応して頂き、翌日の午前中には手元に帰ってきました。

ツアー中の貴重な写真が戻ってきてくれたことに感謝の気持ちでいっぱいです。
ご尽力してくださった職員の皆様、ありがとうございました。

Hanauma Bay Self-Guided Snorkel Tour & Gear Rental with Hotel Transportation

Amazing, Highly recommend

Reviewed by: Ann

It was my first time snorkelling, and the experience was fantastic! The equipment was clean, well-maintained, and easy to use. If you're not comfortable swimming in the ocean like me, I highly recommend renting a life vest for extra confidence.

From the start, everything was well-organized. The shuttle bus driver was friendly and informative, sharing insights about Oahu’s geography, and pointing out tourist attractions and great restaurants along the way. He even handed out pictures of ocean creatures we might spot, which made the ride even more exciting!

Overall, a great experience, I’d definitely recommend it!

Kaneohe Sandbar Tour with Snorkel, Kayak, SUP & Live Hawaiian Music - Kaneohe Bay Ocean Sports

Watch your possessions

Reviewed by: Steve

Snorkeling was fun. The boat is nice, large, and stable. The two singers are good.
And the sneaky little creep sitting next to us at the next table reached right into my beach bag and stole my Yeti Coffee Cup and lid. We did not want to make a big scene. He was really fast and he and his "girl" were the only two people within 15 feet of us as Patsy and I had the front starboard corner of the boat. Keep an eye on your possessions. The staff on the boat are very conscientious and polite.

December is the best! 12月でも最高!

Reviewed by: ひろ

I participated in a meeting that started in the afternoon around December 20th. There were two groups of Japanese people, including us, and the rest were other Asian individuals. The person who spoke Japanese was wonderful, so it wasn't a problem that we couldn't speak English. The weather was perfect for December, with no wind, and we could see the clear sea! After playing with the SUP and ball for about an hour, we all went snorkeling together. We saw about five sea turtles, and it was difficult not to get too close because we saw so many! The guides were fantastic!

12月20日ごろの午後スタートの会に参加しました。
日本人は私たち含め、2組であとは他のアジア系の方でした。
日本語が話せる方が素敵な方なので、英語が喋れなくても問題ないです。
天候は12月では最高のタイミングで、風もなく、透明に海が見えました!
1時間くらいはSUPやボールで遊んだらしたりしたあと、みんなでシュノーケルをしました。

ウミガメシュノーケリング ウミガメとの遭遇率が高い、ワイキキ沖のタートルキャニオンでシュノーケリング!<英語スタッフ/ワイキキ発>

I was able to see sea turtles! ウミガメ見れました!

Reviewed by: きい

I was able to see sea turtles from the boat, but it was difficult to swim with them as I had imagined. Since all the explanations were in English, I could enjoy the exotic atmosphere, but there were parts I didn't fully understand, which made me a bit anxious. The weather was nice, but perhaps because it was the rainy season, the sea was murky, and I couldn't see down to the bottom. Still, I think it was a valuable experience.

船の上からウミガメを見ることができたのですが、想像していた一緒に泳ぐことは難しかったです。説明は全て英語のため、異国気分を味わうことは出来ましたが、全て理解できないので不安な部分はありました。天気はよかったのですが、雨季だからか海が濁っていて、下まで見ることが出来ませんでした。それでも貴重な経験ができたと思います。

The best sea. 最高の海

Reviewed by: なると

The participation day was very few, and it was almost like a private charter. The weather was nice, and the sea was so clear that I could see the bottom. I could even see fish resting on the seabed! There were also a few turtles swimming, which was amazing!

The boat has a restroom, but I didn't use it, so I can't say if it's clean. However, I saw a few others using it. You can buy drinks on board (soft drinks and alcohol), and they also mentioned that snacks are available for free. I tried the recommended snacks, and they were truly free.

After the experience, there aren't many places to change out of your swimsuit, but the restroom on the first floor of the hotel where the reception is located was not locked, so I could change there. No one seemed to get seasick during the sailing. Depending on the time, you might see dolphins jumping in the distance, and in February and March, you can also see whales. On the day of the experience, I spotted dolphins and whales a bit far away while sailing!

参加日はとても少なくほぼ貸し切り状態でした。天気ぐ良く海も底が見えるまで透き通っていました。海底で休んでいる魚も見えました!亀も数匹泳いでおり最高でした!
船にはお手洗いもありますが使用していないので綺麗かは分かりません…。他の方は何人か使用されていました。後払いですが飲み物も船上で買えます。(ソフトドリンクやお酒など)またスナック菓子を無料で食べてねと言われます。おすすめを食べましたが本当に無料でした。
体験後、水着を着替えるところはあまりありませんが受付のあるホテルの一階のお手洗いはロックがかかっておらず使用できたのでそこで着替えることも出来ます。セーリングで酔っている方も居ませんでした。時間によってはイルカが跳ねているところが遠くに見えたり、2~3月はクジラも見れたりします。体験日はセーリング中にイルカやクジラが少し遠くに見えました!

2.5-Hour Waikiki Guided Turtle Snorkel Tour, Snacks & Drinks - Holokai Catamaran

Not what I expected

Reviewed by: Dave

This outing was not what I expected. Given the description of "turtle canyon" I assumed we were going to some rather exotic location to swim and snorkel with the sea turtles. As it turns out, its just about a mile off of Waikiki Beach and it was full of boats with other snorkelers making it quite a crowded experience. Although we did see two turtles (or maybe the same turtle twice), it certainly wasn't the grand adventure it was made out to be. The water was quite murky and the coral was anything but pretty. And on top of all that, we could have booked directly with the tour company for 25% less. That was disappointing.

I will say the crew was very pleasant and the sail after was good.

It was amazing! 最高でした!

Reviewed by: ka

We chartered a boat for our group of 11 across three generations. From the moment we made the reservation, the email communication was very polite and reassuring. On the day of the trip, the weather was great, and we were able to see a lot of whales, a large pod of dolphins, sea turtles, and fish, which made us very satisfied. The sight of the large pod of dolphins was particularly incredible and moving. The guide and driver, as well as the boat captain, were kind and made every effort to find dolphins for us. Although the kids couldn't snorkel, it seems the captain entertained them well. The snacks with bags were a big hit with both adults and children, and everyone plans to take them to school and work after returning home. Thank you very much!

3世代11名だったのでチャーターでお世話になりました。
予約時点からメールでのやり取りがとても丁寧で安心できました。
当日はいいお天気でクジラもイルカの大群も海ガメも魚もたくさんみれて大満足でした。特にイルカの大群もは信じられないくらいいて感動しました。
ガイド兼ドライバーさん、船のキャプテンも親切でいるかを一生懸命探してくださいました。子供達はシュノーケルはできませんでしたがキャプテンに楽しませてもらったようです。バッグ付きのスナックは大人も子供も大喜びで、帰国後も皆学校や職場に持って行くそうです。本当にありがとうございました!

サンドバー天使の海 シュノーケリング&ウミガメウォッチクルーズ 船上のBBQグリルで焼くハンバーガーランチ付き!<午前/日本語クルー>

Very satisfied. 大満足

Reviewed by: むつ

The Angel Sea was very beautiful. Thanks to the thorough explanation and practice time for snorkeling, I was able to swim to my heart's content during the actual event. Fortunately, a sea turtle that had been resting in a coral cave came out, and I was able to swim with it.

天使の海とても綺麗でした
シュノーケルの丁寧な説明や練習時間のおかげで本番思う存分泳げました
ラッキーなことに珊瑚の洞穴で寝ていた海亀が出てきてくれて一緒に泳ぐこともできました

ハナウマ湾シャトルサービス シュノーケリングセットレンタル付き<英語ドライバー>

It was easy. ラクでした

Reviewed by: まみ

I had given up on making a reservation through the official booking site, but then I found this tour and signed up. Since I didn't have a rental car, it was really helpful that they provided transportation to the hotel. The rental equipment was properly arranged, and the driver was a fun person, which was great.

公式予約サイトで予約が取れなかったので諦めていたところ、こちらのツアーを見つけて申し込みました。
レンタカーしていなかったので、ホテルに送迎してもらえて本当に助かりました。
レンタル道具もキチンとあり、ドライバーさんも楽しい方で良かったです。

イルカ大学 イルカウォッチング&シュノーケリングクルーズ イルカと泳ぐプランも!マリンアクティビティも充実<ランチ付き/日本語/ワイキキ&コオリナ送迎可>

Snorkeling is the best!!! シュノーケリング最高!!!

Reviewed by: たきくん

At first, I struggled with snorkeling, but gradually I got used to it and was able to calmly enjoy the beautiful sea. I was able to see dolphins and sea turtles, and at the end, I even saw a mother whale and her calf from the boat, which was incredibly exciting! The staff were bright and friendly, making the tour a lot of fun! I want to come back after preparing for seasickness!

最初シュノーケリングに苦戦しましたが、徐々に慣れて綺麗な海を落ち着いて見ることが出来ました。
イルカやウミガメを見ることができ、最後に船から鯨の親子も見ることができて大興奮でした!
スタッフの皆さんは明るくフレンドリーで楽しくツアーを満喫できました!
船酔い対策してまた来たいです!

Tips and suggestions

For the morning tour, it can be a bit chilly, so I recommend renting a wetsuit or bringing a cover-up and a bath towel for when you get out. If you're feeling anxious, it's essential to have motion si

Tips and suggestions

午前のツアーだと少し寒いので、ウエットスーツをレンタルしたり上がった時用の羽織物やバスタオルを持って行った方がいいと思います。
不安な方は酔い止め必須です。

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>

The wind felt nice, but... 風は気持ち良かったですが、、

Reviewed by: moe

The wind felt nice, and the sea was incredibly beautiful, but the main dolphin watching only allowed us to see them small and far away. The canoe group from another tour got much closer to them. I was really looking forward to it, so it was a bit disappointing. The time spent watching dolphins was short, and most of the time was spent snorkeling, but since we were swimming in deep water, there were hardly any fish, so it felt like there was no need to go on the tour just to swim.

The staff were very cheerful and wonderful, and the final "Harasho" was fun. However, I ordered some products from a Japanese staff member on the bus, but when I realized I hadn’t received them after getting on the boat, I informed them. They told me to wait a bit because it was shooting time, and when it seemed like they weren't in a hurry to get it, they later asked how I would like to pay. I was like, "Well, I already bought it..." The impression I got was that the Japanese staff were kind to those who ordered commemorative photos, but not so much otherwise.

風は気持ち良かったし、海ももっても綺麗でしたが、メインのイルカウォッチングは遠くに小さく見えるだけ、別のツアーのカヌーの方達はとっても近くまで行っていました。
楽しみにして行ったので、少し残念でした。
イルカを見る時間も短く、ほとんどの時間がシュノーケリングでしたが、深いところで泳ぐので、魚もほとんどいなくて、わざわざツアーで泳ぐ必要はなかったなといった感じでした。

スタッフの皆さんはとっても明るくて素敵で、最後のハラショーも楽しかったです。
ただ、バスで日本人スタッフの方に商品を注文したのですが、船にのってから受け取るはずがもらっていないことに途中で気づいて伝えると、撮影時間だということもありちょっと待ってくださいといわれ、急いで撮りに行く気配がないとおもったら、ひと段落ついてからお支払いはどうしますか?と、
いやもう買ってますけど、、となりました。
日本人スタッフの方は、記念撮影を注文した方には親切だけど、、という印象でした

Thank you very much for participating in our Dolphin & You tour. We sincerely apologize for not meeting your expectations, despite your anticipation.

We deeply regret any inconvenience regarding the receipt of the product and any shortcomings in our staff's response. We strive to ensure that everyone can enjoy their experience safely and comfortably, and we take your feedback seriously. We will share it with our manager and team to improve our services in the future.

Regarding dolphin watching, we adhere to the regulations concerning wildlife protection in the state of Hawaii, and we always maintain an appropriate distance to ensure the safety and health of the dolphins. Since we are dealing with nature, there may be days when the dolphins are seen from a distance or in smaller numbers. Upon reviewing the photos from the tour day, it appears that some participants on the canoe approached the dolphins without adhering to the protection regulations for spinner dolphins set by the state of Hawaii. Additionally, the conditions of the sea can affect the snorkeling environment and the types of creatures that can be seen. We always follow the regulations to minimize the impact on the dolphins and ensure safe observation, so we kindly ask for your understanding.

Once again, thank you for participating and for your valuable feedback. We will continue to strive to provide everyone with better experiences, and we would be delighted to have the opportunity to see you again in the future.

この度は弊社のドルフィン&ユーツアーにご参加いただき、誠にありがとうございました。
楽しみにしていただいていたにもかかわらず、ご期待に添えず、申し訳ございません。

商品の受け取りに関するご不便や、スタッフの対応に至らない点があったこと、心よりお詫び申し上げます。皆様に安心して快適に楽しんでいただけるよう努めておりますが、今回のご意見を真摯に受け止め、マネージャーとチーム内で共有し、今後のサービス向上に活かしてまいります。

イルカウォッチングについてですが、弊社はハワイ州の野生動物保護に関する規制に従い、イルカの安全と健康を守るため、常に適切な距離を保って観察を行っております。自然を相手にするため、その日の状況によってイルカが遠くに見えたり、数が少なかったりすることもございます。ツアーの日の写真を確認したところ、カヌーに乗っていた方々はハワイ州が定めるスピナードルフィンの保護規定を守らずにイルカに近づいております。また、海のコンディションによってシュノーケリングの環境や見られる生き物の種類にも違いが出ることがございます。弊社はイルカへの影響を最小限に抑えるため、常に規定を守り、安全な観察を行っておりますので、何卒ご理解賜りますようお願い申し上げます。

改めまして、この度はご参加いただき、また貴重なご意見をお寄せいただきありがとうございました。今後も皆様により良い体験をお届けできるよう努めてまいりますので、またお目にかかれる機会がございましたら嬉しく思います。
