I really enjoyed this tour. It was the highlight of our trip! Even though I was not a good swimmer and had never snorkeled they really took good care of me and encouraged me every step of the way! I was impressed with the ladies who escorted us. They made sure we all saw the dolphin's and turtle's. I'm ready to try this adventure again! Cher

I saw a whale!!! クジラが見れた！！！

Reviewed by: kaori

I went with my partner on our honeymoon. The location was great, very close to the Royal Hawaiian where we were staying. The experience was interesting, and we even got to see sea turtles! When we went out to sea, we coincidentally saw whales, and everyone was excited!

The reason I gave it four stars was because of the meeting time. It said 7:30 here, but it was actually at 8:00, and there were no staff members at 7:30. I was worried that there was a mistake, but after asking a local, I waited, and the staff started preparing, so we were able to participate. Also, the explanations were only in English, so it might be tough for those who don't understand it at all.

But it was fun!!! We were the only Japanese people there, and we really enjoyed our time abroad!

I was dissatisfied with the service from the Japanese staff. 日本人スタッフの対応に不満

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

Both Japanese and local staff assisted with the tour, but the Japanese staff had a bad attitude. Overall, the explanations were insufficient. They didn't properly show us how to wear the snorkeling masks or life jackets. When we reached the dolphin point, we were pushed from the boat into the sea, and some participants hesitated because they weren't mentally prepared. The Japanese staff spoke quite harshly to those individuals, saying, "These are wild dolphins, if you can't get in the sea quickly, stay on the boat!" If there had been prior explanations, those participants could have managed better, and it was very unpleasant to witness.

Later, at the snorkeling point, we ended up with the "Dolphin Junior High" boat from the same company, and since we entered the sea at the same time, participants were swimming quite close to each other. When it was time to get back on the boat, my husband accidentally went to the "Dolphin Junior High" boat. At that moment, the Japanese staff from "Dolphin Junior High" shouted to the university staff, "This is university!" Afterward, they looked shocked, but referring to a customer as "this" is unbelievable.

While we did achieve our goal of seeing dolphins, the bad attitude of the Japanese staff ruined the experience. Although we saw wild dolphins in the sea, if there are other tours with similar content, I would prefer to choose those. I will not be repeating this experience.

日本人スタッフと現地スタッフの両方がツアーで対応してくれますが、日本人スタッフの感じが悪かったです。
とにかく、全てにおいて説明が不十分。シュノーケリングマスクやライフジャケットの装着方法もきちんとしてもらえませんでした。イルカのポイントにつくと、背中を押されるようにボートから海へ足から飛び込むのですが、参加者の中には心の準備ができておらず一瞬躊躇してしまった方も。日本人スタッフはその方たちに対して、かなりきつい口調で『野生のイルカなんだから、さっさと海には入れなければボートに残って！』と言っていました。事前に説明があれば、その方たちだってそれなりに動けたはずなのに、と思うと見ていて非常に感じが悪かったです。
また、その後のシュノーケリングポイントで、同じ会社のスタッフが乗っている『イルカ中学』のボートと一緒になり、同時に海に入った為参加者がかなり近くで泳いでおり、ボートにあがる様指示された時、主人が誤って『イルカ中学』の方のボートに行ってしまいました。その際、あろうことか、『イルカ中学』の日本人スタッフが『大学』のスタッフに向かって『これ、大学！』と叫んだそうです。その後『あ、やばい！』という顔をしていたそうですが、お客を『これ』呼ばわりです。信じられません。
イルカを見るという目的は果たせましたが、とにかく日本人スタッフの感じが悪くて嫌な思いをさせられ、台無しです。
確かに海に入って野生のイルカは見られましたが、同様の内容のツアーが他にあればそちらにすればよかったです。 リピートはしません。

I participated in a dolphin watching tour in Hawaii during my honeymoon. There were several options, but I'm really glad I chose this one! One of the deciding factors was being able to eat masalada.

Reviewed by: なかちゃん

I participated with my 4-year-old and 6-year-old children. The sandbar was truly beautiful, and the kids were thrilled. A turtle came quite close (about 50 cm away), which surprised the kids a bit, but we were able to take some great photos. We were the only ones with kids participating in snorkeling. My 6-year-old had their first snorkeling experience and really enjoyed it. They wore a life jacket and held onto a surfboard, and the staff took great care of us. The guide was also a fun person. The guide was Japanese, and the captain was from Hawaii and spoke Japanese well.

Even if you only speak Japanese, you can participate without any issues, but I think it would be more enjoyable if you could speak English to chat with the staff.

For those who didn't go snorkeling, they could talk with the remaining staff or learn canoeing or stand-up paddle surfing, so even those who are not good at snorkeling can have fun.

After getting on the boat, they served juice, bread, and donuts, so we didn't need to eat much for breakfast. Lunch was also served as a buffet, and it was quite filling.

I recommend this experience for everyone, from small children to young people and seniors.

4歳、6歳の子ども連れで参加しました。サンドバーは本当にきれいでこどもも大喜びでした。亀が近くまで来て(50cmくらいまで)子どもはちょっとびっくりしてましたが、よい写真がとれました。こどもでスノーケル参加はうちだけでした。6歳の子どもはスノーケル初体験でしたが、楽しんでできました。ライフジャケットをつけて、その上、サーフボードにつかまらせて、付きっきりで見ていただき、本当にお世話になりました。あと、ガイドさんも楽しい方です。ガイドさんは日本人。船長さんはハワイの方で日本語が上手です。
日本語しか話せなくても全く困らず参加できますが、英語が話せるとスタッフの方とたくさん話せて楽しいだろうなーと思います。
なお、スノーケリングをしなかった方は、残ったスタッフの方と話したり、カヌーやスタンドアップパドルサーフィンを教えてもらったりしてたので、スノーケリングが苦手な方も楽しめますよ。
船に乗ったあと、ジュース、パン、ドーナツを出してくださるので、朝御飯はあまり食べなくてもよかったです。
昼もビュッフェででます。かなり、お腹いっぱいになります。
小さな子どもから、若い方、ご年配の方、誰にでもおすすめです。

Reviewed by: なみな

I was really looking forward to this, but unfortunately, it was a disappointing tour given my expectations. Since we traveled by large bus, even with a 7 AM meeting time, we wasted an hour picking up people in Waikiki (which happens with other tours as well). After arriving, we landed on a narrow sandbar packed with people on two cruisers. Snorkeling felt like a chaotic trial start, bumping into each other while trying to peek into the water. I think the actual time spent on the sandbar and snorkeling was about 30 minutes total. It was just so rushed. Since it’s such a special place, I wish the tour had fewer participants.

とても楽しみにしていたのですが、期待してた分、残念なツアーでした。大型バスで行くため、７時に集合でも１時間はワイキキピックアップで時間が潰れ（これは他でもありますが）、到着後、２台のクルーザーで細いサンドバーにぎゅうぎゅうに上陸笑。シュノーケルも一列でトライアルロンのスタートの様にぶつかりながら軽く海の中をのぞく感じ。実際のサンドバーとシュノーケルは足して３０分程度だった気がします。とにかく慌ただしいです。せっかくの特別な場所なので、もっと人数を減らしたツアーだったら良かったなと思いました。

You can swim with honu (sea turtles)! ホヌ（海亀）と一緒に泳げます！

Reviewed by: ひろろ

Despite the meeting place being at Outrigger Reef, we ended up at Outrigger Waikiki and were 15 minutes late, but the boat arrived just after 8 o'clock. I guess that's American time, right? (laughs)

We arrived at the snorkeling spot in about 10 to 15 minutes. Since it was off Waikiki, we could see Waikiki Beach and the hotels while snorkeling. I was surprised to think we could see sea turtles from such a distance. But we quickly spotted a sea turtle floating on the surface!

As soon as we got into the water, the crew started throwing food to attract the fish. However, the only fish that gathered were dark-colored surgeonfish. There were hardly any colorful tropical fish. But a little further away, there were 5 to 6 of the main attraction, the turtles!!! The water depth was about 7 to 8 meters. The turtles were swimming at about 5 to 6 meters deep, but since I’m good at free diving, I was able to enjoy a rendezvous with the turtles to my heart's content. The turtles seemed accustomed to people and didn’t try to escape even when I got close. Well, touching them is prohibited, so I could only get close, but that was enough to be very satisfying! They occasionally surfaced for air, so even those who can’t dive can enjoy it.

The snorkeling lasted about an hour and a half. After that, we had a 30-minute cruise. The weather was nice, so although the sun was hot, the breeze felt great.

Drinks (cocktails, beer) and photos on board are available for a fee. The snorkeling gear is available for free rental, but there are no fins. I brought my own. The floatation devices are available for free rental, but there are no life jackets, so those who can’t swim might want to prepare accordingly.

待合せ場所がアウトリガーリーフにも係わらず、私たちはアウトリガーワイキキに行ってしまい、集合時間より15分も遅れてしまいましたが、ボートが来たのは8時過ぎ。アメリカ時間ってことでしょうか（笑）

シュノーケリングスポットへは10～15分程度で到着。ワイキキ沖のためシュノーケリングしながらワイキキビーチやホテルが見えるくらいの場所。こんなところで海亀が見えるの？って思う距離です。でもすぐに水面に浮いている海亀を発見！

早速水の中に入ると、船員が餌を撒いて魚を集めてくれます。しかし集まってくる魚は真っ黒のハギ系の魚だけ。カラフルな熱帯魚はほとんどいませんでした。でも、少し離れた所には本命の亀が５～６匹も！！！
水深は７～８メートルというところでしょうか。亀は５～６メートルのところを泳いでいたのですが、私は素潜りが得意なため亀との水中ランデブーを思う存分楽しむことができました。亀は人に慣れているのか近づいても逃げようとしません。ま、触れることは禁止されているので近づくだけですがそれでも十分満足できます！
息をするためにたまに浮き上がってくるので、潜ることができない人でも楽しむことができると思います。

シュノーケリングの時間は1時間半くらいでしょうか。
そのあとは30分ほどのクルージング。天気も良かったので日差しは暑いものの風が気持ちよかったです。

船内での飲み物（カクテル、ビール）と写真は有料です。
シュノーケリングセットは無料貸出ですがフィンはありません。私は持参しました。
浮き棒は無料貸出ですがライフジャケットもありませんので、泳げない方は準備された方がいいかもしれません。

My child (in first grade) wanted to see fish, so we were looking for something easy to do. We were the only Japanese people on the boat departing from Outrigger. All the equipment instructions were in English, but it wasn't a problem at all.

My child enjoyed it, especially when the captain caught and showed us an octopus, which made them very happy. On the way back, we cruised towards Diamond Head, making it a great tour that finished in the morning, perfect for families with children.

子供（小学校一年）がお魚をみたいと言い、気軽に出来そうなものを探していました。アウトリガーからの出航で日本人は私達だけでした。器具の説明など全て英語てすが、特に問題ありませんでした。

子供も楽しめ、船長さんがタコを掴んで見せてくれて喜んでいました。

Preventing seasickness and keeping warm are essential!! 船酔いと防寒対策は必須！！

Reviewed by: satomi

The day before the snorkeling tour, Waikiki was sunny every day, but just before the meeting time, while having breakfast and looking outside, it started pouring rain and the wind picked up.
I thought, "Is this going to be canceled?" as my husband and I headed to the meeting place, but to our surprise, everyone was cheerful and said, "Once you're inside, it's the same! We're going ahead today!"
While I was relieved that it wasn't canceled, I couldn't help but feel cold waiting at the meeting spot due to the heavy rain and strong winds.

The snorkeling itself was a lot of fun, and I was very satisfied because I got to see many sea turtles and fish! We brought our own snorkel sets and fins, which made swimming easier. They provided us with foam sticks, allowing us to enjoy it for a long time.

However, the sailing after snorkeling was just freezing, and I was shivering. The towel I brought was wet from wiping off the rain and my body, so even covering myself with it didn't help, and even though I had never experienced seasickness before, I ended up feeling nauseous. The weather changed from rain to cloudy.

I realized I should have brought an extra towel for drying off and taken seasickness medication. When we left the hotel, it wasn't raining, so it was a big miscalculation.

シュノーケリングツアーの前日までは毎日晴天のワイキキでしたが、集合時間の少し前に朝食をとりながら外を見ると、大雨で風も強くなってしまった。
「これは中止かなぁ～」と旦那と残念に思いながら集合場所に行ってみると、「中に入っちゃえば同じだよ～！今日は催行OKだよ～！」と陽気な様子。
中止にならなくて嬉しい反面、大雨で風が強くて集合場所で待っている間も寒くてしょうがなかったです。

シュノーケリング自体はとっても楽しく、ホヌにもお魚にもたくさん会えたので大満足！！
私たちはシュノーケルセットとフィンも持参していたので泳ぎやすかったです。
発砲スチロールの棒は貸してくださり、長時間でも楽しめました。

しかしシュノーケリングの終了後のセーリングは、ただただ寒くて凍えていました。
持参したタオルも雨と体を拭いて濡れていたため、それを体にかけても寒くて、尚且つ、今まで一度も船酔いのした事のない私でも、船酔いしてしまいました。
お天気は雨から曇りになっていました。

船酔いの薬を飲んで、寒さ対策は忘れずに体を拭く以外のタオルを持っていったらよかったなと感じました。
宿泊ホテルを出発するときには雨は降っていなかったので、大誤算でした。

A herd of 100! 100頭の群れ！

Reviewed by: oba

I participated on April 17, 2013. The weather was great, and I was able to swim with over 100 dolphins! I also saw about two sea turtles, and to my surprise, I was able to see a whale from the boat, which I thought was out of season. I felt like I had been saving my luck for this moment since I hadn't been very lucky lately.

One group probably had around 20 to 30 dolphins, and I went into the water three times, encountering them twice. I swam with four or five groups, so there might have been around 150 dolphins in total. It was just so lucky.

Our guide, Minako, was very clear in her explanations and had a bright personality, which was wonderful. I forgot the name, but Captain Papa? also took us accurately to the points, and during the whale watching, he kindly waited on the spot from when we dove until we surfaced.

My mother, who was with me, decided to stay on the boat at one point, saying, "I don't want to go in the water anymore today," but Minako frequently encouraged her not to push herself, so she was able to rest without hesitation. Since it was a tour with many entries, quite a few people chose to rest on the boat during the second session (snorkeling at the tropical fish and sea turtle points).

Even though the weather was nice, we had been snorkeling for quite a while, so it got quite cold, and the warm tea we received on the boat was much appreciated. The snacks were also quite delicious. I devoured a cinnamon pastry and cheese. I was a bit concerned about the calories in the cereal bar, so I took it home.

I really had a great time. I definitely want to take my husband, who stayed home this time, with me next time.

お天気にも恵まれ、なんと100頭を超すイルカと泳ぐことができました！
ウミガメも2頭ほど見ることができ、おまけに時期が終わったかと思われたクジラも船の上から見ることができました。最近何かとツイていなかったので、「このために運をとっていたのか？」と思うほどでした。

ひとつの群れがたぶん2,30頭で、3回海に入って2回遭遇、4、5グループと一緒に泳ぐことができたので、もしかすると150頭くらいかもです。とにかくラッキーでした。

ガイドのミナコさんの説明はわかりやすく、明るい人柄でとても良かったです。お名前を忘れてしまったのですが、キャプテンパパ？もポイントまで的確に連れて行って下さり、ホエールの時も潜ってから浮き上がるまでその場で待機してくださるなど、親切でした。

同行の母が途中、「ちょっと今日はもう水に入りたくない」と船上に残っていたのですが、無理しないで～とミナコさんが頻繁におっしゃってくださっていたので、遠慮せず休むことができました。エントリー回数の多いツアーだったので、2時限目（熱帯魚やウミガメのポイントでのシュノーケル）はさすがに船上でお休みされる方が多かったです。

良いお天気と言えども、結構な時間シュノーケルしていたので冷えてしまい、船上でいただいた温かいお茶はありがたかったです。スナックも結構おいしかったです。シナモン系の菓子パンとチーズぺろりと食べてしまいました。シリアルバーはさすがにカロリーが気になって持ち帰りました。

本当に楽しかったです。

Reviewed by: MINA

This is my sixth time in Hawaii! I've wanted to join this tour for a while, and I finally participated this time.

Once we arrived at the port, we put on our wetsuits and immediately boarded the boat. The water temperature is low during this season, and the boat is fast, so being exposed to the wind the whole time was quite cold. Renting a wetsuit for $10 was definitely the right choice. By the way, everyone in the group rented one (laughs).

We set sail and searched for about two hours. Ultimately, we headed north up to just before the North Shore, but there was no sign of dolphins, and everyone was getting tired.

At that moment, we encountered a whale! It's rare to see one at this time of year. Everyone was thrilled by this unexpected encounter.

So, what about the dolphins? We received information from another boat that they were near the port! It was a case of "right under the lighthouse." We quickly headed south and managed to meet the dolphins. Depending on the day, there can be hundreds of them, but there were only a few on this day. However, I was really glad to see them clearly with my own eyes and to swim close to them.

After that, we moved to a snorkeling point and got to swim with about five sea turtles. They came close enough to touch.

The staff's energy was incredibly high throughout, so if you're not a fan of that kind of lively student-like atmosphere, it might be a bit overwhelming. Also, it's quite intense, so I don't think it's suitable for those who lack physical stamina or for older individuals. It really drains your energy.

I wonder if it varies by day? I've heard there are days when they can be found easily, which might make it easier. We had quite a struggle finding them. When we finally spotted them, it was like "Let's go!" and everyone jumped in at once (there were also people from other companies), so it got crowded, and I ended up getting kicked by someone’s fin.

But it all became a great memory.

ハワイは６回目！前からこのツアーに参加してみたく、今回ついに参加してきました。

出航して、２時間くらい？？探し回りました。最終的にはノースショアの手前まで
北上し探しましたがイルカ先生は全くいる気配がなく、みんなお疲れモード。

そんな時に、クジラに遭遇！この時期にいるのは珍しいとのこと。
思わぬ出会いにみんな喜んでいました。

で、イルカ先生は？仲間の船から、港の近くにいるとの情報が！灯台下暗しですかね。
いっきに南下し、なんとかイルカ先生に会うことができました。
日によっては何百匹といるそうですが、この日は数頭でした。
しかしこの目でハッキリと見ることができたし、近くで泳ぐことができて本当に
良かったです。

その後はシュノーケルポイントに移動して、亀大教授と泳ぐこともできました。
５匹くらいいましたよ。触れるくらい近くまで来てくれました。

スタッフのテンションが終始バカ高いので、そういう学生ノリの賑やかなのが苦手な方は苦痛かも？
しかも結構なスパルタなので、体力に自信のない方、高齢の方には向いてないと思います。ものすごく体力を消耗します。

日によるのかな？？すぐに見つかる日もあるらしいから、そういう日は楽チンなのかも。私達はなかなか見つからず苦労しましたからね。
みつかった瞬間、それいけーーーーって感じで、みんなが一斉に飛び込み（他の会社の連中もいるから）混みあっていて、前の人のフィンで蹴られる始末です。

でも全部がいい想い出になりました。

Excellent adventure. Don't miss it!!

Reviewed by: Stone Family

This was awesome!!! We not only saw dolphins but we saw humpback whales at the end of their migration. They also took us to a reef where we snorkeled with a sea turtle and saw tons of tropical fish. The girls on the boat crew were awesome. Highly educated about the ocean environment and the sea creatures. This was definitely one of the highlights of our Hawaii vacation. Don't miss this activity. Especially if you can do it during the whale migration season. Also, Domingo, our shuttle driver that picked us up from the hotel was a great tour guide 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＞

The staff is good! スタッフが、Ｇｏｏｄ！

Reviewed by: ヨッシ－

I had a great time! (＾＾)
I rated it 4 stars because of the weather and the cold, but the cruise staff were such fun people and kept us entertained throughout. Perhaps due to the weather, the sandbar was a bit underwhelming, but we were lucky to see sea turtles popping up here and there, and we even spotted a manta ray.
I definitely want to try again on a nice day. More than that... I wanted to join that staff team!

楽しかった～（＾＾）
天気と寒さで、☆４にしたけれど・・・クルーズスタッフが、楽しい人たちで終始楽しませていただきました。天気のせいかサンドバーは、いまひとつこんなものかな？でしたが、ウミガメがあちこちに顔を見せてくれましたし、マンタまで見れたのはラッキーでした。
是非、お天気のいい時に再挑戦したいです。
とゆうより・・あのスタッフメンバーに入りたいくらいでした！！

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

Just Terrific

Reviewed by: garathome

They pick you up at your hotel and drive you to the west side. They gear you up, they advise you not to touch or chase. You get on the water and if you're lucky, like us, you spot a pair of hump back whales. Then when they locate the dolphin herd, you get to swim among them for about an hour. Then you get to spend almost as much time over a reef, where you can swim with sea turtles and other fish. It was just terrific.

Then you get a decent sandwich and a drink, because you will be hungry after a full morning. Then they drive you back to Waikiki.

Excellent photo disk available to chronicle your trip, at a good price, if you wish. 400 photos of your trip + bonus file with great pics of dolphins, whales, and the area.

Only negative was no changing facility, public restrooms only. Also no bathroom on the boat so be prepared.

Definitely worth the price for this experience.

シュノーケリングクルーズ　イルカやウミガメに出会えるチャンスも！？選べる8時／12時出港プラン＜ハワイアンプレートランチ＆アルコール4杯付き／ワイキキ送迎あり＞

That's unusual!! 珍しい！！

Reviewed by: ヤギタ

I had a truly valuable experience.
It's something unimaginable in Japan.
I was constantly excited to be so close to wild animals.
I got to see dolphins, of course, as well as sea turtles and whales.
From the exotic boat, I watched dolphins and chased after escaping sea turtles, haha.
Thanks to the captain's arrangements, or perhaps his keen eye, we spotted a whale and even saw it spouting water.
It's an experience unique to traveling abroad that you won't understand until you try it.
I also think the cost performance is quite good.

とても貴重な体験をしました。
日本では考えられない経験です。
野生の動物とこんなに間近で触れ合えて興奮しっぱなしでした。
イルカはもちろん、海ガメ・クジラに会えました。
異国情緒たっぷりな船からイルカをみて、逃げるウミガメを追いかけたりしてｗ
船長さんのはからいか、神眼かしら？クジラを発見し、潮吹きも見ました。
海外旅行ならでは、行ってみないとわからない体験です。
コスパも悪くないと思います。

I'm deeply moved!! 感激！！

Reviewed by: nico

It was my first trip to Hawaii. Since I was going, I really wanted to see the sandbar, so I signed up for this tour.
It was cloudy on the day of the tour, so the water was cold when I got in, but the scenery was amazing.
I was able to see fish and coral while snorkeling.
Fortunately, I also got to see a sea turtle up close.
The hamburger we had for lunch was incredibly delicious!!
I enjoyed a relaxing lunch on the boat while listening to the guide's live performance, gazing at the beautiful sea, and it created wonderful memories.

初めてのハワイ旅行でした。行くからにはどうしてもサンドバー見たいと思いこちらのツアーに申し込みました。
当日は曇りでしたので、海に入ると冷たかったですが、景色はｻｲｺｰです。
シュノーケルで魚やサンゴを見ることもできました。
運よくウミガメも間近で見ることができました。
お昼に頂いたハンバーガー、最高に美味しいです！！
ガイドさんの生演奏を聴きながら船の上でのんびり昼食～綺麗な海を眺めとても良い思い出が出来ました。

It's a very beautiful place. とっても綺麗な場所です

Reviewed by: aaq28670

I went to this famous tourist spot that I had heard about for a while! You can also go snorkeling, and the sea was truly beautiful. If the weather isn't good, it can get cold, so it's definitely a good idea to bring a jacket that you don't mind getting wet and a bath towel!

前々から聞いていた有名な観光なので行ってみました！シュノーケリングもでき、本当に美しい海でした。天気がよくないと寒い思いをするので、かならず濡れてもよい上着とバスタオルは持って行った方がいいですよ！

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＞

It was fun. 楽しかった

Reviewed by: さくらん

The distance to the dolphins was far, and the snorkeling experience to see the dolphins was quite short, lasting less than 10 minutes, which was disappointing. However, there was plenty of time for snorkeling with sea turtles after moving to another location, so I wish I could have seen the dolphins a bit longer.

The staff members were very kind.

イルカとの距離が遠く、イルカ見学のシュノーケリング自体は１０分弱とかなり短かったのが残念。　その後移動してからのウミガメなどのシュノーケリングタイムはたっぷりあったので、もう少しイルカを見たかったです。

係員の皆様は大変親切でした。

ウミガメシュノーケリング　ホロカイ・カタマラン号　高確率でウミガメに会えるタートルキャニオンへ！ソフトドリンク&スナック付き＜3時間／英語／ワイキキホテル発＞

It's cold after snorkeling! シュノーケリングの後は寒いよ～

Reviewed by: yoursign

There were only two Japanese families, and the rest were foreigners. The instructor's English had a thick accent (Yankee-style speaking), making it difficult to understand. I could only grasp about half of the meaning. Still, it was not a problem. We snorkeled for about 30 minutes to an hour off the coast of Waikiki. Since we had elementary school children with us, we brought life jackets, snorkels, masks, fins, and marine shoes from Japan. We encountered fish and turtles (honu). Bringing a waterproof camera is the best.

We departed in the morning, and the weather was cloudy with occasional sunshine, so it was cold on the boat after snorkeling. Especially with wet swimsuits and rash guards, it was chilly. It's essential to bring a thick bath towel from the hotel. Foreigners seem fine being naked, though.

After that, we went sailing towards Kahala. It was nice to see the Waikiki Beach hotel group from a different angle offshore. The group photo taken at departure was about $15, roughly the size of B5. It turned out quite nicely. This tour might be a bit tough for children under kindergarten age.

In summary: It's impossible for toddlers to be in the sea without being able to touch the bottom, just with a Styrofoam stick! Life jackets are essential. Bring a bath towel for warmth. And it costs $15.

日本人ファミリーは２組だけでそれ以外は外国人。インストラクターの英語が訛っていて（ヤンキー風しゃべり）聞き取りにくい。半分くらいの意味しかわからず。それでも問題なし。ワイキキの沖合いで３０分から１時間くらいシュノーケリング。うちは小学生もいたので日本からライフベスト、シュノーケル、水中マスク、フィン、マリンシューズを持参。魚や亀（ホヌ）に遭遇。防水カメラ持参がベスト。
朝出発で天候がくもり、時々晴れだったのでシュノーケリングの後は船上では寒いです。特に濡れた水着やラッシュガードは寒い。ホテルから厚手のバスタオル持参が必須。外人は裸でも平気みたいですが。
その後カハラ方面へセーリング。沖合いからのワイキキビーチホテル群がいつもと違う方向から見れて良かったです。
出発時に撮ったグループ写真が確か１５＄。Ｂ５くらいの大きさ。　なかなかきれいに撮れてましたよ。幼稚園児以下はこのツアーは少々きついかも。
総括：足の届かない海に発砲スチロールの棒だけで幼児は無理！ライフベストが必須です。
寒さ対策のバスタオル。　そして１５＄。
