Oahu Spinner Dolphin Tour on the Waianae Coast with Snorkeling, Lunch & Hotel Transportation

Dolphin Swim

Reviewed by: Mekhemar Family

My 10 and 11 year old daughters and I went on this excursion. It was a dream come true. Our captain took us up to a cove area where there were a good 30-50 spinner dolphins were hanging out! We had a blast. We then moved over to the sea turtles and we just loved that as well.

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＞

I got to meet a sea turtle! ウミガメに会えました！

Reviewed by: asahi

After the morning pickup, we traveled to Kaneohe with a somewhat suspicious tour guide. On the bus ride, we listened to his light-hearted talk (in English) filled with jokes, and soon we arrived at Kaneohe Bay. The ratio of Japanese to foreign tourists was about half and half. Those who don't understand English might feel quite anxious here (laughs).

At Kaneohe Bay, there were two boats, one for foreign tourists and one for Japanese tourists. On the Japanese boat, a beautiful Japanese lady (who seemed captivated by Hawaii and decided not to return to Japan) guided us in Japanese.

The sandbar has varying water depths depending on the time of day, so I think it's best to go during the times when the water is shallower. Additionally, one of my companions was quite prone to seasickness, but as explained, the waves in Kaneohe Bay are always calm, and we were able to finish the trip without much seasickness! Let's shout "Aloha!" loudly on the boat!

朝のピックアップ後、怪しげなオッチャンのツアコンとともにカネオヘまで移動。
往路のバスではその怪しげなオッチャンのジョークを交えた軽快なトーク（英語）を聞きながら
ほどなくカネオヘ湾に到着しました。
日本人と外国人の割合は半々ぐらいでしたね。
英語がわからない人は多分ここでめっちゃ不安になります（笑）
が、カネオヘ湾では２つ船があって、外国人輸送船と日本人輸送船に分かれ、
日本人輸送船では美人な日本人お姉さん（ハワイに魅せられ日本に帰らなくなった感じ）が
日本語で案内してくれました。

サンドバーは、時間帯によって浅瀬の水深が違うので、水深が浅い時間帯を狙って
行くのがいいと思います。
また、同行者がかなり船酔いしやすいタイプだったのですが、
カネオヘ湾は説明のとおり常に波は穏やかで、ほとんど船酔いもせずに終えることができました！
船上では、大きな声でアローハーと叫びましょう！

This was without a doubt the highlight of our holiday, loved it. The girls that took us out were great, they took us to our first location where we got the chance to swim with about 5-6 dolphins, then we moved on to the sea turtles, just great. On our return trip the girls took us back to our first location where there was now a pod of about 70 dolphins that we got to swim with. Just amazing. Thanks girls.

Waimea Bay Summer Snorkel & Sail Cruise (from Haleiwa Harbor)

Great Day!

Reviewed by: Laura

July 2013: Scenic trip to snorkel site, crew was knowledgeable, great snorkeling spot, snorkeled with turtles. Crew provides lunch (prepared lunch meat sandwiches, potato salad, canned soda) you can bring your own snacks/lunch as well. Crew also provides snorkel gear and okay to bring your own. Crew also provides floaties for snorkelers if needed. We took the morning snorkel trip which is about an hour longer than the afternoon trip. The catamaran drops you off away from the shore in about 25 - 30ft of water and you exit from there. We were taken to our site along the North Shore. The trip was worth it and we would do it again. From Waikiki, it's about an hour's drive depending on traffic. There are restrooms at the check-in dock so that you can change afterwards.

Misunderstanding. 勘違い。

Reviewed by: ロン＆Ｎ

I thought I could enjoy a relaxing snorkeling experience in Kailua's sea, but while the view of the ocean from the beach is beautiful, once you get in the water, the waves are high and it's murky, making it hard to see even a little bit ahead underwater. If you're not going into the sea and just want to spread out a beach mat to read or gaze at the ocean, this is a recommended course. Also, the pizza for lunch was hearty and delicious.

カイルアの海でのんびりシュノーケリングができると思って参加したのですが。浜から見る海は美しい。しかし、海に入ると波は高いし、濁っていてほんのちょっとの先も水中からでは見えない。海にはいらず、ビーチマットを広げて、読書とか海を眺めるのならおすすめのコースです。尚、昼食のピザはボリュームがあり、おいしかった。

Fun Snorkel with the Turtles

Reviewed by: Maile

Great catamaran trip for snorkeling with the sea turtles. The guys who run the boat were really nice and knowledgeable. Took us directly out to the reef off a beach with lots of fish and sea turtles to view. It was partially cloudy so if you can hit a day that is all sunshine that is the best visibility in 100% sunny weather.

The sea was truly beautiful. It wasn't very shallow, so when we got off the boat, the water was up to my thighs, and my 70-year-old mother said she was scared to go into the sea. However, one of the staff members said, "Since you came all this way, let's go to the sandbar," and he actually carried my mother there. It was so moving! Thank you very much.
The hamburgers for lunch were also delicious, as they grilled the patties on the boat.
We were able to see several sea turtles, and snorkeling was a lot of fun. There were staff members who were fluent in Japanese, so I had no worries at all.

本当に海が綺麗でした。　そんなに引いてなかったので、船から降りた時は太ももくらいまで水につかりながら、サンドバーまで歩く状態のため、70歳の母は怖がって海に入らないと言ってましたが、スタッフのお兄さんが、「せっかく来たんだからサンドバーまで行きましょう」と、なんと母をおぶって連れて行ってくれました。感動です！！　ありがとうございました。

I participated hoping to see wild dolphins, and on the day, I was able to encounter several dolphins, which was truly a wonderful experience! It's rare to see so many. I heard that on some days, they move around to different locations in search of dolphins. It was my first time snorkeling. The guide wasn't very thorough, so I was relieved that my friend who accompanied me taught me how to put on the gear and what to be careful of when jumping in.

野生のイルカに少しでも会えたら・・・と思い参加しましたが、当日は何頭ものイルカと出会うことができ本当に素晴らしい体験ができました！こんなに沢山出るのは珍しいとのこと。日によってはイルカを求めてあちこち場所を移動するそうです。シュノーケリング自体初めてでした。あまり丁寧にはガイドはしてくれませんので、同行した友人に装着の仕方とか、飛び込んだ際の注意点など教えてもらえて安心しました。

Reviewed by: Tiffany

We participated in a tour from 8 to around 10 with a one-and-a-half-year-old child, and all the staff were wonderful and kind, making it a very enjoyable experience. There is a bit of distance from the boat to the sandbar, so I think it would have been helpful to have a suggestion to bring floaties for small children who can't swim (we brought our own, so it wasn't a problem, but I think having rentals available would be good). The snacks weren't very tasty, so if they were that limited, it might be better to just offer drinks and increase the variety. If the price were a bit lower, I would definitely want to participate again.

1歳半の子連れで8時から10時頃のツアーに参加しましたが、スタッフが皆さん素晴らしく優しい方たちで、とても楽しめました。船からサンドバーまでは少し距離があるので、泳げない小さな子連れには浮き輪を持ってくるような案内があっても良かったと思います（うちは持っていっていたので問題なかったですが、貸し出しがあってもいいかと思います）
スナックはあまり美味しくなかったので、あれくらいだったらドリンクだけにしてもっと種類を増やす方がいいかと。その分もう少し安ければ、また参加したいと思います。

There were too many participants, so we couldn't board the large boat and ended up going to the sandbar on a cruiser with two honeymoon couples (≧▽≦)ﾉ It was very comfortable.
The sea was crystal clear and very beautiful ♡ It was completely different from Waikiki.

You can go snorkeling nearby, but we didn't do that and just played at the sandbar. There were plenty of floaties and toys available to borrow. We had plenty of time and were able to play a lot.
I was so happy to see a sea turtle up close, which I had always wanted to do (*>∀<*)ゞ

On the way back, we got to steer the cruiser, which was a very valuable experience.
I really felt lucky‼ I'm so glad I participated in this tour.
The staff were all really nice, and I made some wonderful memories.
Thank you very much ♡

I've been to Oahu about ten times, and since I lived there for a few months during a short language study program, I thought there wouldn't be any places I didn't know. But there were! (◎o◎；）Well, it's been about seven years since my last visit... There are sandbars in various places, so I wasn't expecting much, but it's still Hawaii! I'm super excited! The local crew is cheerful, and they took lots of photos. We quickly went snorkeling, saw some fish, ate sandwiches, and wrapped it up quickly. I guess I would get bored after about 30 minutes! In the afternoon, we could fit in other activities too, so it's a groundbreaking tour (＾－＾). However, while searching for sea turtles, I was excited until I saw two or three, but after that, I just swayed on the boat and relaxed...

Angel's Sea 天使の海

Reviewed by: ゆうこ

The sea didn't seem very beautiful, perhaps because it was cloudy. The bottom of the boat is designed as a toilet that directly flushes into the sea, right? There was something floating on the surface of the water that looked like a piece of wood, and when I tried to grab it and throw it far away, it turned out to be feces. Moreover, there were two spots floating around.

曇っていたせいか、海はあまりきれいに感じなかったです。船の底がトイレになって海に直接流すようになってるんですよね？海の表面になにか木切れのようなものが浮いていて、つかんで遠くに投げようとしたらそれはうんちでした。しかも２箇所にぷかぷか浮いていました。

I participated with a senior colleague from work. The staff were very friendly, and there was music playing on the boat, creating a fun atmosphere.

Sea turtles are cute! 海亀がカワイイ！

Reviewed by: task

It was a tour that can only be described as a hit! What made it a hit... was that we got to play with sea turtles for about 30 minutes☆

Normally, you might hear comments like "the white sandbar was beautiful" or "I got to see sea turtles," but surprisingly, the sea turtles came to play with our boat. According to the captain, he once rescued a sea turtle that got caught on a fishing hook, and since then, every time he takes the boat out, they come to visit. In fact, among about 20 people in the water, one turtle was the first to rub its head against the captain, as if asking to be petted. There are state laws regarding this, but it felt just like having a pet. (By the way, the turtle's name is Maurice.)

Thanks to that, I was able to take tons of photos and videos with my waterproof camera♪ I even got a picture of us swimming together!

As for the sandbar, it was about knee-deep, so it wasn't quite like the pictures in the package, but to be honest, I wasn't too interested in a sandbar without any creatures. If you're someone who wants to fully enjoy the "Wow, it's beautiful!" experience, I recommend checking the depth online thoroughly. (I had looked it up too, but I was okay with it.)

During snorkeling, there was a small sea turtle resting, and when I stared at it, it slowly woke up and came over to play with the boat♪ Big sea turtles, small sea turtles—this tour left me with an intense and wonderful impression of "playing with sea turtles"♪

The BBQ was, of course, delicious, and if I ever get the chance to go again, I would want to request the captain to bring Maurice along for a visit (laughs).

I absolutely recommend this tour! If you look at the photos, I think everyone will want to go on this tour☆ (I turned the photos to landscape because they were cut off in portrait mode.)

当たりとしかいいようのないツアーでした！
何が当たりか・・・それは海亀と30分くらい遊べたことです☆

通常なら「白いサンドバーが綺麗だった」「海亀に会えた」という感想が
多いでしょうが、なんと海亀が自分たちの船に遊びに来てくれました。
キャプテンに話を聞いたところ、浦島太郎のごとく、釣り針にひっかかった
海亀を助けたところ、毎回そのキャプテンが船を出すと、寄ってくるように
なった、とこのこと。
実際、20人くらいが海にいる中で、真っ先にキャプテンに頭をこすりつけて、
まるで撫でてくれと言ってるばかりのスキンシップをしてました。
州の法律もありますが、まるでペットです。（ちなみに亀の名前はモーリス）

そのおかげで、防水カメラで写真・動画撮りまくりです♪
一緒に泳いでる写真も撮れました！

肝心のサンドバーは膝くらいの深さだったので、パッケージ写真のようにはいきませんが、正直♂なので、生き物のいないサンドバーに興味がなく、
「わぁ～綺麗！」を満喫したい方は、しっかりネットで深さを調べことをお勧めします。（自分も調べた上でしたが、まいっかって気持ちだったので）

シュノーケリングでも休憩中の小さな海亀が居て、その子もじ～っと見てたら、
のそ～っと起きて、船の方まで遊びに来てくれました♪
大きな海亀、小さな海亀、自分の中では「海亀と戯れる」ツアーという
強烈で最高の印象となりました♪

BBQももちろんおいしく、もしもう一度行く機会があった場合は、
海亀のモーリスが遊びに来てもらうために、船長を指定したいくらいです（笑）

絶対にお勧めのツアーです！
写真を見ていただければ、誰もが行きたくなるツアーだと思います☆

I participated with a friend. I wanted to try something new, but I was actually quite nervous because I'm not very good at swimming. However, I was able to use something like a float, so I didn't have to worry about drowning, which was a relief (laughs). At first, I was both excited and very nervous, and I didn't have the presence of mind to look underwater. But after a little while in the sea, I got used to it. I was able to see many turtles swimming underwater.

After that, we enjoyed about an hour on the boat over the sea. The sea looked very blue and beautiful from the boat. The instructor was serving drinks there, but they weren't free. The hour on the boat was also a lot of fun. Sunscreen is a must for this occasion! My friend and I got badly sunburned and were in a stinging state for about one or two weeks.

私は友達と二人で参加しました。
新しいことを体験してみたいと思い、参加したのですが実際私は泳ぐのがあまり上手でないのでとても緊張しました。しかし浮き輪のようなものを使う事が出来たので溺れる心配はなく、安心しました(笑) 最初は楽しみと思う反面とても緊張していて最初は水中を見る余裕がありませんでしたが、実際海に入って少しするとなれました。水中で泳ぐ亀を沢山みることができました。
その後、船で１時間くらい海の上を堪能しました。船から見る海はとても青く綺麗でした。インストラクターはそこでお酒や飲み物をふるまっていました。飲み物フリーではありません。船での１時間もとても楽しいものとなりました。この時の為に日焼け止めはマストです！私と私の友達は酷く焼けてしまい、１、２週間ほどひりひりした状態でした。

3-Hour Ko Olina Snorkel Cruise & Dolphin Watching Tour with Deli Lunch & Drinks

Good experience, but not amazing snorkeling

Reviewed by: User038575

I gave an ok/average rating because this was an expensive excursion and the snorkeling was not up to par. The staff was incredible---- friendly, fun and courteous, but this seemed to be a boat ride geared toward hanging out and drinking on the boat rather than seeing awesome fish, coral reefs, etc. We had 2 snorkel stops and fish/turtles were average. But the crew made sure we saw dolphins from the boat, which was cool.

As far as snorkeling, it was nothing too interesting especially because my husband and I have done amazing snorkeling in Maui and Bora Bora. If you want to drink and relax for an afternoon, this is a top choice. But, a little too expensive for what you get if you are really into snorkeling and seeing different kinds of underwater life.

After arriving in Hawaii, I was looking forward to snorkeling three hours later. However, my bag that I had checked in at the hotel didn't arrive! I confirmed with the travel agency where I checked my bag, but they said it would take time. If they had informed me in advance, I would have brought it myself... I thought about that as the meeting time was approaching.

I had planned to come to Hawaii with my family, but my child was unwell, so I ended up coming alone. I wanted to take pictures for my child, who was looking forward to seeing sea turtles, but since my bag didn't arrive, I had to give up on participating... I was wondering what I had come here for!

However, thanks to the warm consideration from VELTRA and the tour company, I was able to reschedule and participate.

This was truly moving! Really! I thought I would have to cancel since I wouldn't make it to the tour that day. The tour was really enjoyable and exceeded my expectations; it went by in no time. Everyone was kind and considerate to me, a solo participant, and I am grateful. Next time, I will definitely participate with my family. I sincerely thank you. Thank you very much.

This time, I went to Hawaii with my friends. On the day of snorkeling, it was canceled due to the weather and rough sea conditions, but we rescheduled with the local staff to go on another day that fit our stay. The meeting place was really hard to find, and we couldn't locate it at first.

On the day, after signing up, we waited for the boat a little distance away. I didn't speak Japanese with the local staff, so I wasn't sure if they could speak it, but they were very friendly and kind, so I think they would explain things until anyone who doesn't speak English understands!

Before departure, we could take photos in front of the boat one group at a time. Those who wanted the photos could buy them for $15 after returning from snorkeling!

Besides my friend and me, everyone else was from overseas. I was surprised to see so many Japanese people on Oahu, and it was fun to talk to them. We moved to the sea by boat, but there was absolutely no shade, so we got sunburned quickly... During the transfer, there was an explanation from the staff, but I couldn't hear much because of the noise of the boat. However, they used gestures while talking, so I think I could understand somewhat.

During snorkeling, I was able to see schools of fish and sea turtles!

It was my first time seeing a sea turtle swimming in the ocean up close, and I was very moved! I think it was a really great experience.

でも、ジェスチャーを交えて話しているので、
なんとなく理解はできると思います。

シュノーケリングでは、魚の群れや海ガメを
みることができました！

海ガメが海を泳いでるのを間近でみたのは
始めてだったのでとても感動しました！
とてもいい経験だったと思います。

Heaven!!! 天国！！！

Suddenly, a shallow area appeared in the middle of the ocean. I had never experienced anything like this, so I was really moved. It was fun to see the turtles up close.

海の真ん中にいきなり浅瀬が現れます。こんな経験したことなかったのですごく感動しました。かめも近くでみれて楽しかった。

Encountered a large number of sea turtles. 大量の海亀に遭遇

Reviewed by: あむたろう

First of all, I highly recommend this tour!
After the Golden Week, there were two Japanese participants who brought a friend, along with others from America, Oceania, and Europe.
We set sail while listening to the local guide's somewhat thick-accented English explanation.
(Even if you don't understand English, you can get by with gestures.)

We moved by boat to a snorkeling point not too far from the shore.
There weren't too many different types of fish, but we encountered a lot of fish and, most importantly, many sea turtles.
It was truly lucky to see them swimming alongside us up close.

After snorkeling, we cruised near Diamond Head and encountered a large pod of dolphins.
They entertained us with tornado spins and other antics.

The cheerful captain extended our cruising time significantly beyond the schedule.

This has definitely become one of the tours I want to do again.

まずはじめに、このツアーはお勧めです！
私が参加したゴールデンウイーク後は、日本人の参加者が友人を合わせて２名で
その他アメリカ・オセアニア・ヨーロッパ等の方々でした。
現地の方のなまりがきつめの英語の説明を聞きながら、出航です。
（英語がわからなくても、手振りで何となく伝わります。）

陸からそれほど遠くない場所に船で移動し、シュノーケリングポイントへ。
それほど種類は多くないですが、たくさんの魚と
何といってもたくさんの海亀に遭遇です。
平行して泳ぐ姿を至近距離で見れるなんて、本当にラッキーでした。

シュノーケリング後に、ダイヤモンドヘッドの近くまで船でクルージングしたのですが、イルカの大群に遭遇。
トルネードスピンなどしてくれて、楽しませてくれました。

ご機嫌になった船長は、予定よりかなり長くクルージングをしてくれました。

また、必ず行きたいツアーの１つとなりました。

You can join easily. 気楽に参加できます。

I participated with my family.

It was nice that we could gather at Waikiki Beach, making it easy to join in.

The snorkeling was quite bumpy due to the waves, and I felt a bit seasick. My companions felt even more nauseous. I recommend bringing a plastic bag just in case.

There were many fish, but not a lot of variety. We were able to see sea turtles several times. Snorkeling in the moderately deep sea was refreshing.

After snorkeling, we took our time cruising. It was nice to view the scenery of Waikiki from the ocean.

It surprisingly got a bit chilly, so make sure to bring a T-shirt or something for sun protection.

家族と参加しました。

ワイキキのビーチに集合なので気楽に参加できるのが
良かったです。

シュノーケルはけっこう波に揺られてしまい、少し
酔いました。同行者はもっと酔っていました。
もしもの時に備えてポリ袋を持っていくことを
おすすめします。

魚がたくさんいる場所でしたが、種類はいません。
ウミガメを何度か見ることができました。
まあまあの深さのある海でのシュノーケルは爽快でした。

シュノーケル後はゆっくりと時間をかけてクルーズしてくれます。
ワイキキの景色を沖から眺めるのも良いものです。

意外に寒くなってくる＆日焼け防止のためにTシャツ等は
必ず持っていきましょう。

Great experience Great experience

First, when I was looking at the tour, I was a little hesitant to go for this as the fare is not casual to take my parents, my 3-year-old son, husband, and me. In the end, I am really proud of myself for deciding to join the tour.

It was just breathtaking: blue sky, emerald ocean, and white sand.

The sandbar I've always dreamed of☆ 憧れのサンドバー☆

Reviewed by: momiji

We came to Hawaii for our honeymoon. Since we were in Hawaii, we had to go to the sandbar! So, we booked a tour with the popular Captain Bruce's. On the day of the tour, we encountered bad weather... Rain clouds stretched from the mountains to the sea. However, the tour staff encouraged us, saying, "It will surely clear up!"

On the day I participated, the boat was almost full, and it was all Japanese guests. There were two boats operating, so we were assigned to one when boarding. For safety, we had to go barefoot on the boat. Once we headed offshore, the boat stopped near the sandbar. From there, we entered the water and walked towards the sandbar. Since we walked over coral remains, sand, and small stones, reef shoes are a must! Most people didn’t bring them, so they walked slowly, looking like it hurt. It’s quite a walk from the boat to the sandbar.

That day, the water level didn’t drop enough for the sand to be exposed. Plus, it was drizzling and cold, so everyone was crouching in the water. After about 40 minutes, the rain clouds cleared, and we finally got to take some photos. After returning to the boat, we had lunch. There were sandwiches and salads, and they were very delicious. After that, we enjoyed snorkeling for about 30 minutes. Although the weather wasn’t great, we had a lot of fun.

新婚旅行でハワイに来ました。
せっかくハワイに来たので、サンドバーは行かなくては！！
ということで、人気のキャプテンブルースのツアーを申込みました。
当日はなんと悪天候・・・。山から海にかけて雨雲が・・・。
でも、ツアーのスタッフさんが「きっと晴れる！」と励ましてくれました。
私の参加日はほぼ満員。もちろん日本人のみ。２隻船がでているので、乗船の際に割り当ててくれました。
船の上は安全の為はだしになります。沖合に出るとサンドバー近くで船を停めます。
そこからは海に入って歩いてサンドバーを目指します。サンゴの死骸や砂、小石の上を
歩くのでリーフシューズは必須です！ほとんどの人は持ってきてなかったので、痛そうにゆっくり歩いていました。船からサンドバーまでけっこう歩きます。
その日はサンドバーは砂が出るほどは水位が下がらなかったです。
しかも小雨で寒く、みんなしゃがんで海に浸かっていました。
40分くらいして雨雲が晴れ、やっと写真を撮れました。
船に戻ってからランチでした。サンドイッチやサラダなどがあり、とても美味しかったです。
そのあとはシュノーケリングを30分程楽しみました。
お天気には恵まれませんでしたが、とても楽しかったです。
