イルカ中学 野生のイルカ&ウミガメシュノーケリングクルーズ 高速ボートでイルカ遭遇率アップ!<少人数制/ワイキキ&コオリナ送迎可/日本語/ランチ付き>

I encountered a Hawaiian monk seal and four other animals! ハワイアンモンクシール他4つの動物に出会えました!

Reviewed by: トッポジージョ

On October 25, the participants of Dolphin Junior High did not meet the required number, so they transferred to Dolphin University.

Before boarding the boat, I encountered a honu (sea turtle) right by the pier. I couldn't take a photo because my camera was still in the dry bag.

Shortly after departure, I encountered a Hawaiian monk seal. It popped its head up above the surface, and I was able to capture it perfectly on camera. The day before, I also encountered one while experiencing SUP at Ala Moana Beach, and according to our guide Hayato, it's very rare for short-term travelers to see wild Hawaiian monk seals two days in a row, so I was very lucky!

Next, we had our first snorkeling session in the shallow waters. I was able to capture the honu coming up for air and diving down to the seabed. This snorkeling in the shallow waters was a great warm-up.

While searching for dolphins to swim with, I saw some spinner dolphins splashing around from the boat.

Finally, the main event: snorkeling with dolphins. I heard that we encountered many spotted dolphins, but the weather was so nice that there were a lot of light curtains, making it hard to see them with the naked eye. However, since other participants seemed to see them, I trusted that the action camera had captured it and returned to the boat. When I checked back at the hotel, I was relieved to find that it had been recorded perfectly.

On the way back to the harbor, many dolphins swam alongside the boat, making for a truly enjoyable experience.

I am grateful for the kind assistance from our guide Hayato.

10月25日、イルカ中学参加者が規定数に満たず、イルカ大学に編入しました。

最初船に乗る前、桟橋からすぐのところでホヌに遭遇。カメラをドライバッグに入れたままだったので撮影出来ずでした。

出航後すぐにハワイアンモンクシールに遭遇。
海面にひょっこり顔を出してくれてバッチリカメラに収録。
前日アラモアナビーチでSUP体験時にも遭遇しガイドのハヤトくんが言うには、2日連続で野生のハワイアンモンクシールに遭遇した短期旅行者は滅多にいないらしくてとてもラッキー!

次に浅瀬で最初のシュノーケリング。
ホヌが息継ぎし海底まで潜って行く様子を収録出来ました。
この浅瀬でのシュノーケリングは良い準備運動になりましたね。

次に一緒に泳ぐイルカを探す途中、船上からハシナガイルカがバシャバシャしている様子が見れました。

いよいよメインイベント、イルカと一緒にシュノーケリング。
たくさんのマダライルカに遭遇したらしいですが、天気が良すぎて光のカーテン多めで肉眼では確認することが出来ず。でも他の参加者は見れた模様なのでアクションカメラに収録出来ている事を信じて船に戻りました。
ホテルに帰って確認してところバッチリ収録出来てたので良かったー。

最後ハーバーまで戻る途中、たくさんのイルカが船と一緒に泳いでくれてホント楽しい体験ができました。

ガイドのハヤトくんがとても親切に対応してくれて感謝です。

Aloha! Toppojiijo. Thank you for participating in the dolphin school this time. I also appreciate your willingness to accommodate the sudden switch to Dolphin University. It was very lucky to encounter Hawaiian monk seals two days in a row! And you even got to meet sea turtles and two types of dolphins!! I believe encountering so many marine creatures in Hawaii's great nature was a wonderful experience. I'm glad you were able to capture memories not only with your own eyes but also with the action camera. The photos of the dolphins swimming in front of the boat are really beautiful!! Thank you for your comments about our guide, Hayato. Please do join us again and take advantage of the repeat customer discount. We look forward to welcoming you back. Mahalo nui and a hui hou!

アロハ! トッポジージョさま。この度はイルカの学校へ参加していただき、ありがとうございます。また急なイルカ大学への振り替えにも快く対応をしていただき、感謝いたします。2日連日でハワイアンモンクシールに遭遇するなんて、とてもラッキーでしたね! そしてウミガメや2種類のイルカにまで出会えたのですね!! ハワイの大自然で沢山の海洋生物たちに出会えたことは素敵な体験になったと思います。実際にご自身の目で見ただけでなく、アクションカメラにも思い出が残せたようで嬉しく思います。船の前を泳ぐイルカの写真もとっても素敵ですね!! またガイドのハヤトに関するコメントもありがとうございます。ぜひまた、リピーター割引を利用してご参加くださいね。心よりお待ちしております。Mahalo nui and a hui hou!

I was grateful for the Japanese staff, but they spoke to me in a casual tone the whole time. You could say it was friendly, but there were moments that felt condescending, which made me uncomfortable. The weather was bad, so I couldn't see the scenery like in the photos, but there were light snacks and other aspects of the service were good.

日本語スタッフがいてくれてありがたかったですが、終始タメ口でした。

My husband, 71, and I, 64, went kayaking in the Hawaiian sea for about an hour! With Hawaiian music playing, we headed to the sandbar. The water was deep up to my shoulders, which was a bit scary, but thanks to the wonderful people at the sandbar who took care of us, it became a fun memory. I am grateful.

Waikiki Snorkel with Turtles Cruise with Beers & Cocktails - Ke Kai Catamaran

Snorkeling & Turtle Cruise

Reviewed by: Emma

Most of the time it was snorkeling in the water where you can see most of the tiny fishes swimming around. I saw a turtle far away when I came on the boat but still was hard to see (even in the camera). Just saw a turtle do a back flip from a 500 meter distance from our boat. To see it very close or in the water while snorkeling, I think it is mostly luck but had a good time with other people on the boat with drinks and snacks too!

Submarine Underwater Scooter Adventure & Turtle Snorkeling Tour from Hawaii Kai

Fun Activities in the Ocean

Reviewed by: Kevin Park

Our experiences were great. First we had a chance to do the underwater scooter and give food to our loving fishes. Camera man constantly took pictures of us which we received it later through purchasing it. We did not see turtles directly but definitely it was an experience we would be doing again. There were two teams in the boat where one team goes for the underwater scooter and another goes for snorkeling under the guidance of our team. Overall, the pictures made it another unforgettable experience so make sure to purchase the pictures when the guide asks you if you want the pictures or not. It was sent through email so fast and quick.

It depends on the season. 季節によります

Reviewed by: Captain

It seems that the sandy beach only appears during the summer, and without the blue sea and white sandy beach, the activities are the same wherever you go: riding boats, snorkeling, and paddleboarding. Moreover, since there is no beach, activities are conducted by getting on and off the boat.

I participated in late October, which is just before the rainy season, and it often rains in the morning. Since the timing of the tides also varies by season, I think it's best to carefully consider the season and time of day when participating.

写真のように砂浜が現れるのは夏場だけのようで、青い海と白い砂浜がなければ、ボートに乗って、シュノーケリングをして、SUPをして帰ってくる、どこに行っても同じようなアクティビティです。しかもビーチが無いのでボートから乗り降りしてアクティビティを行います。
今回参加したのは10月下旬でしたが、もうすぐ雨期になる時期、午前中は雨が降ることも多いです。まだ潮の満ち引きの時間も季節によって異なるため、参加する季節、時間帯を事前に良く検討しておいた方が良いと思います。

My cousin and I had an amazing time. The stuff was awesome; helpful and fun.
This is a very cool location; we went during high tide and have no regrets of selecting that time slot. The weather was warm, the water was calm and clear. We took advantage of all of the activities; we kayaked, paddle boarded and hung out on the floating platform. The live music was the cherry on top. I would definitely recommend booking this specific tour.

The activities are enjoyable, and the sea is beautiful. アクティビティが楽しい美しい海

Reviewed by: あや

Everyone who participated in the tour was Japanese. They provided explanations in Japanese on the boat. Since I made the reservation without considering the tide schedule, when we arrived, the water was about knee-deep, and by the time we returned, it was at waist height. The waves were fairly decent.

I was able to rent a stand-up paddleboard, which was fun, and I also got to see sea turtles.

The snorkeling was quite tough because they didn't provide fins, and the waves were high. The water was murky, so I couldn't see many fish.

The photos I took while paddleboarding turned out really beautiful when I looked back at them later!

On the boat, we could enjoy warm coffee, juice, snacks, and spam rice balls for free. The apples were delicious. Since we couldn't see the sandbar, I think it's better to participate during low tide.

ツアーに参加したのは全員日本人でした。船の上では日本語で説明もしてくれました。潮の満干期を気にせず予約した為、着いた頃は膝上程度、帰りには腰高位になっていました。波もまあまああり。
サップを借りることができたので、遊べて楽しかったのと、海亀も観られました。

シュノーケルは足ヒレを貸してもらえないため、波も高く結構辛かったです。
濁っていたので魚はほとんど見られませんでした。

サップをしながら撮った写真はあとから見返したら凄く綺麗でした!

船のうえで暖かいコーヒーやジュース、スナック、スパムおにぎりが無料で食べれます。りんごも美味しかったです。
サンドバーは見られなかったので、参加する際は干潮時間に合わせたほうが良いかと思います。

サンドバー キャプテンブルース 天国の海®︎ シュノーケリング貸切クルーズ 豪華なラウンジボートやスピードボートでのプライベート時間<6名まで/日本語クルー>

It was enjoyable for ages 2 to 87! 2歳から87歳まで楽しめました!

Reviewed by: 東北の親父

We participated in a tour with six people, including a 2-year-old child and an 87-year-old grandmother. The guide, who spoke Japanese, and the captain were friendly, and since it was a private tour, they let us decide on the timing for snorkeling and paddleboarding based on our pace. Unfortunately, it was after a full moon, and the tide was high, but the adults could enjoy the water at waist height while the child had fun with a float and life jacket.

The 87-year-old grandmother found the sea water cold, so I requested a wetsuit the day before, and they had it ready for her on the day of the tour, which was a great help! They also prepared floats and paddleboards for us, allowing us to play longer than we would have on a shared boat. We took many photos, and they taught us paddleboarding carefully, making it a truly enjoyable experience.

For snorkeling, the captain pulled the child on a boat, and the guide supported those who couldn't swim, so everyone had fun. We saw many sea turtles and fish, which was amazing. The snorkeling was kept short for the child and grandmother, allowing us to enjoy the sea longer, which is a unique advantage of a private tour.

After coming out of the water, it was cold, but they provided warm tea, and for the children who wanted to keep playing, they pulled them on the back of the boat, making it a perfect tour for families with small children and elderly members. They also prepared plenty of snacks and juice, and the child was thrilled with the apples.

The tour flew by, and we chatted a lot with the guide, creating wonderful memories for the whole family. The spam rice balls were also fantastic. The weather and tide are unpredictable, but it was a wonderful tour overall!

I recommend bringing a light jacket because the bus air conditioning is strong, and since it gets cold after being in the sea, it's a good idea to change clothes in the restroom before getting on the bus.

2歳の子供と87歳のおばあちゃんをつれて6人でツアーに参加しました。
日本語の話せるガイドさんとキャプテンもフレンドリーで貸し切りツアーということでこちらのペースに合わせてシュノーケルとsupなどで遊ぶ時間を相談して決めさせてくれました。
あいにく満月の後で潮が満ちていましたが大人は腰ぐらいの高さで子供は浮き輪とライフジャケットで楽しめました。
87歳のおばあちゃんは海の水が冷たかったので前日にウェットスーツのリクエストを送ったところ当日用意してくださり助かりました!
浮き輪やsupも私達用に用意してもらえて乗合いボートよりも長く遊ぶことができました!

またシュノーケルは子供はボートに乗せてキャプテンが引っ張っていってくれ、泳げない人はガイドさんがサポートしてくれて全員で楽しめてウミガメもたくさん見れて魚も見れたので感動でした。
子どもやおばあちゃんのペースでシュノーケルは短めにしてもらえて長く海で遊べたのも貸し切りツアーならではでした。
海から上がったら寒かったのですが温かいお茶を用意してもらえたり、まだ遊びたい子どもはボートの後ろに乗せて引っ張ってくれたりといたせり尽せりで小さな子ども連れ、高齢者連れには本当におすすめのツアーでした。スナックもジュースもたくさん用意してもらえて子どもはりんごに大喜びでした。
あっという間のツアーでガイドさんともたくさんおしゃべりして家族みんなの素敵な思い出になりました。

I thought I would have to join a half-day tour to see sea turtles, but I found a tour in the Waikiki area that only took about 2 to 3 hours, and it was really great.

The instructor continuously pointed out where the sea turtles were while we were snorkeling, so it was easy to follow along and see them! I was very happy to swim with several sea turtles. I plan to request this tour again when I go back to Hawaii.

Waikiki Guided Beach Snorkeling Tour for Beginners with FREE Photos & Videos

Great snorkeling fun!

Reviewed by: Family snorkelers

For most of our group this was their first time snorkeling. Ryan was so patient, helpful and supportive, and gave great instructions — we highly recommend snorkeling in the Magic Island Lagoon for first timers. And with Ryan’s excellent support, videos of our experience, and patience we all had an awesome time. Be sure to heed the 30 minutes early arrival as we had a difficult time finding them (no sign) but they were near life station 1G which should be communicated in advance. We still got started right on time so it all worked out.

I have been to Hawaii more than 20 times with my family, but this time I participated in this tour with a friend. When I was booking in Japan, there were many similar sandbar tours, and after some deliberation, I decided on this one because of the "live music." I was truly moved by the wonderful singing and performance, even more than I expected! It was also helpful that there were staff members who spoke Japanese. The activities were a lot of fun, and I got to experience multiple things! Thank you for the big donuts and juice! I want to participate again!!

We used this service for our honeymoon trip. The staff was very friendly and took a lot of photos for us. It was also reassuring that they spoke Japanese, allowing us to enjoy ourselves without worry.

In the first half, we enjoyed activities like stand-up paddleboarding and floating on inflatable rings, and in the second half, we went snorkeling. During snorkeling, there were instructions to avoid touching the coral, but while swimming, my feet accidentally brushed against it, causing some scrapes. If you have marine shoes, it might be a good idea to bring them.

Depending on the season, I think it's a popular tour, so I recommend making a reservation more than a month in advance!

Unfortunately, the tide was high, reaching up to my thighs even in shallow areas. I thought snorkeling was just about seeing fish, but I was able to see many sea turtles up close. I could hear the sea turtles breathing right next to me, so close that I was worried I might touch them. The tour fee is quite high, but I am very satisfied.

シュノーケリングは魚を見るだけかと思っていましたが、
ウミガメが近くでたくさん見れました。
プハーっとウミガメの息継ぎが聞こえるくらい近く、触れてしまいそうで
心配になるくらいでした。
ツアー代金は結構しますが、大満足です。

Captain Bob's Kaneohe Sandbar Snorkeling Tour & BBQ Lunch with Waikiki Pickup

Captain Bob’s snorkel

Reviewed by: pennyswete@gmail.com

Such a fun and memorable experience! We first stopped at the sandbar and played volleyball. The volleyball was actually so fun even if you have never played! The lunch was good and filling and offer beer and other choices of beverages. After that, we headed to the coral reef and spent about an hour there swimming and enjoying the fish! We say sea turtles and manta rays from afar which was unforgettable. Overall, highly recommend this fun experience for everyone!

イルカ中学 野生のイルカ&ウミガメシュノーケリングクルーズ 高速ボートでイルカ遭遇率アップ!<少人数制/ワイキキ&コオリナ送迎可/日本語/ランチ付き>

The more you think about it... 思っていればいたよりも、、、

Reviewed by: なお

I thought I would be able to swim closely with a lot of dolphins, but while I was able to see them, it felt more like just seeing dolphins rather than swimming with them. Since they are wild animals, timing might play a role as well... For those who are prone to motion sickness, I think taking motion sickness medication is a must. Even after taking it, we still felt nauseous.

イルカと近くで沢山泳げるかと思っていましたが、
イルカを見る事はできましたが、これがイルカと泳ぐと言うのかな??という感じでした。
野生のものなので、タイミング的なものもあるかもしれませんが、、、
酔いやすい方は酔い止め必須だと思います。
うちは酔い止めを飲んでも酔いました。

Aloha, Nao. Thank you for participating in the Dolphin Middle School tour. We are truly sorry to hear that we could not meet your expectations regarding the dolphin swim. There are times when it can be difficult to see the dolphins up close, especially if there are baby dolphins in the pod or if they are chasing after food. Regardless, we sincerely apologize for not being able to fulfill your expectations. If the opportunity arises, we would be grateful if you could give it another try.

アロハ なお様。この度はイルカ中学のツアーにご参加いただき、ありがとうございました。 イルカスイムについて、なお様のご期待に沿えなかったとのことで、誠に残念に思います。イルカの群れに赤ちゃんがいたり、エサを追いかけている際には、イルカを近くで見ることが難しいことがありますが、いずれにせよなお様の期待にお応えできなかったことをお詫び申し上げます。また機会がございましたら、ぜひ再度チャレンジしていただければ幸いです。

What a great excursion with live music to enjoy as we were heading out & returning from the sandbar. The weather eventually co-operated with the sun coming out on the last hour. Highly recommend this company for this excursion.

The sandbar was quite deep!
The music was good.
I didn't enjoy it much because the explanations from the Japanese tour guide were a bit sharp.
I think it would be better if they interacted in a brighter and friendlier manner!

Thank you very much for participating in the tour. We are truly sorry that the water level was high on the day of your visit, and we regret that we could not meet your expectations. We also apologize if our staff's manner of speaking made you feel uncomfortable.

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

Great day at the Sandbar

Reviewed by: Nick

The sandbar is very nice, we arrived at the tour boat with plenty of time and were able to find parking! which was great, but arrive early to be safe, we received a safety briefing and we were on our way!

The boat ride from the dock to the sandbar is short but with entertainment along the way and snacks.

Once you get there there is a place to snorkel and swim around, and a platform to lounge and baste in the sun.

However the day we went tide was high so the water was up to our chests, however not something the tour can control.

We liked it a lot and would do it again.

2.5-Hour Turtle Snorkel Sail Tour from Waikiki Beach - Cold Brew Coffee, Snacks & One Drink Included

Hard to say

Reviewed by: Sher

It's hard to say whether Waikiki sail is a great experience or not. They called us the night before around 8:00 p.m. letting us know that they quite doing the afternoon tours and asked if we could come earlier. Unfortunately we had a hard to get breakfast reservation and with less than 24 hours notice, we could't change it even if we wanted to. With that said, Waikiki sail was great at finding a different company that could take us which was awesome. Despite my frustration, I had to at least give them an okay rating for that. We sailed with Moana adventures and had a great time so if Waikiki sails experience is similar and they don't tell you the night before that a change has been made, they are probably great.

ハナウマ湾シュノーケリング ベテラン日本語ガイドがご案内する少人数制ツアー 貸切プランあり<半日/水中写真付き>

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

Reviewed by: ななよん

I participated with a friend in late September.

It was my first time snorkeling, and I started to feel seasick when I thought, "I want to quit because I'm feeling nauseous." At that moment, the instructor kindly guided those who wanted to stop to a designated area, which was very helpful.

I was able to see various fish and sea turtles, and I was very satisfied.

9月下旬に女子2人で参加しました。

シュノーケリングは初めてだったのですが、
途中波酔いして気持ち悪くなってきたなー
と思った時に「波酔いしてもう辞めたい方はこちらにきてください」とインストラクターの方が案内をしてくれて助かりました。

色んな魚やウミガメも見れて大満足です。
