The staff who picked us up by bus had excellent communication. When we arrived at the sea, there were staff members, including the captain, who spoke Japanese, and they were very approachable, making for a very enjoyable tour. Since the snorkeling was deep, I mentioned that I couldn't swim, and the staff provided me with a float and accompanied me around the area. Without that support, I would have had to give up, so I was very grateful for their proactive assistance. The sea was incredibly beautiful, an experience unlike any other. Stand-up paddleboarding was also fun. We even saw sea turtles. The water was so clear that it felt surreal.
バスで迎えに来てくれたスタッフはコミュニケーションがとてもよかったです。海に着いた時に
船長さん含めて日本語も喋れるスタッフがいて
気軽に声をかけていただけてとても楽しいツアーを過ごせました。 シュノーケリングは深いので 泳げない事を伝えたら スタッフが浮き輪を持たせてくれて一緒に1周回ってくれました。それがなかったらリタイアしているところを積極的に声をかけて頂けたこと とても嬉しかったです。海も抜群に綺麗でした。味わえない海です。サップも楽しかったです。
ウミガメも見れました。 海の色からもう透き通っていて非現実が味わえます。

I participated in this tour in early February 2023. One of the things I wanted to do in winter Hawaii was whale watching, and since my hotel was Aulani, I joined this tour departing from Ko Olina Marina.
It takes about 25 minutes to walk from Aulani to Ko Olina Marina, and about 5 minutes by car. The tour included four alcoholic drinks, so I walked there instead of driving, but I was a bit tired on the way back (^_^;).
Upon arriving at the marina, the check-in area was easy to find. I signed in on the list, received a wristband, used the restroom, and boarded the boat. There were about 15 to 20 guests at that time, but we were the only Japanese group. All the explanations were in English, but a young Japanese male staff member came later to explain in Japanese, and he also supported us during snorkeling, which was very helpful!
After the boat headed out to sea, we encountered a mother and baby whale! I was incredibly excited to see the whales spouting water and their tails coming up to the surface with my own eyes! Since it was an evening tour, we didn’t see any dolphins, but I was very satisfied to have encountered the whales.
After that, we went to the snorkeling point and enjoyed snorkeling. During this time, we encountered a sea turtle. I was moved to see it coming up from the bottom of the ocean for air, floating on the surface, and then returning to the ocean floor, all from a very close distance! The water was a bit cold during this season, but I was glad I participated in snorkeling! After snorkeling, it was chilly, so I changed from my swimsuit to regular clothes in the boat's restroom. The restroom was a bit spacious with shelves, making it suitable for changing. There were two restrooms, one on each side at the back.
After snorkeling, we enjoyed dinner and the sunset. The dinner was served on a single plate, but it was piled high, so I was full! The taste was also delicious. The sunset from the boat was absolutely beautiful.
I think this is a highly recommended activity for those staying around Ko Olina!
2023年2月上旬に参加しました。
冬のハワイでやりたい事がホェールウォッチングで、宿泊ホテルがアウラニだったのでコオリナマリーナから出発するこちらのツアーに参加しました。
アウラニからコオリナマリーナまでは歩いて片道25分くらい、車だと片道5分くらいです。ツアーにアルコールが4本かな?含まれていたので車は使わずに歩いて行きましたが帰りはちょっと疲れました(^_^;)
マリーナに到着して受付の場所はわかりやすかったです。名簿に記帳してリストバンドを付けて、御手洗を済ませてボートに乗り込みます。
この時は15名?20名??くらいお客さんが居ましたが日本人は私たちのグループだけでした。
色々な説明は全て英語でしたが、若い日本人男性のスタッフさんがあとから日本語で説明しに来てくださって、その後のシュノーケルもサポートしてもらえたのでとても助かりました!
ボートが沖に出て少しするとクジラの親子に遭遇出来ました!肉眼でクジラの潮吹きや海面の上に出てきた尾びれを見られてものすごく興奮しました!夕方のツアーなので時間的にイルカは見られませんでしたがクジラに遭遇出来たので大満足でした。
その後シュノーケルポイントに行って、シュノーケルを楽しみました。この時に海亀に遭遇出来ました。海の底から息をにし浮上してくる様子や海面をぷかぷかしている様子、また海の底に帰って行く様子を近づくことが出来るギリギリの距離で見られて感動しました!
この時期の海はちょっと寒かったですが、でもシュノーケル参加して良かったです!
シュノーケルの後は寒かったのでボートのおトイレで水着から私服に着替えました。おトイレは少しだけ広めで棚とかがあったので着替えスペースも兼ねている感じでした。おトイレは後方左右に1つずつ計2つありました。
シュノーケルが終わるとディナーとサンセットを楽しみます。ディナーはワンプレートですがモリモリに盛ってもらえたのでお腹いっぱいになりました!味も美味しかったです。ボートからのサンセットもすごく素敵でした。
コオリナ周辺で宿泊されている方にはとてもおすすめのアクティビティだと思います~。

At the time of departure, there were strong winds and rain. It was cold, and I didn't feel like going into the sea. I really wondered if we were going to set off, but the staff didn't seem to mind at all, and they started with a bright attitude, which helped me let go of my worries and enjoy the experience. After we arrived, the weather forecast improved. Occasionally, the sun came out, and I was satisfied. The people I was with naturally cared for each other, creating a warm and friendly atmosphere. The only downside was the weather. Even in Hawaii, March is still not hot, so I think I want to go in the summer next time.
出発時は、強風で雨。寒くて、海に入る気持ちになれませんでした。本当に出発するの?という感じでしたが、スタッフの皆さまは全く気にする事なく、スタートして、明るく対応してくれていたので、ふっきれて楽しめました。到着後は天気予報も回復。時折り日もでて、満足でした。同行の方達とも自然とお互いに気をつかいながら、接していたので、和気藹々とできて、温かい気持ちにもなれました。最高点でないのは、やはり天候ですね。3月は、ハワイといえど、まだ暑くはないので、次は夏にいきたいと思います。

The weather was a bit bad, with strong winds and cloudy skies. It was quite cold to get into the sea. While snorkeling, I had so much fun that I forgot about the cold, and I got really excited when I found a turtle. There was a turtle near the coral, but when it moved away from the coral, there were no other creatures around. It was challenging to find the turtles, but the instructor helped by pointing out their location, and I was able to spot about six of them in total. After snorkeling, we had some free time, and I enjoyed paddleboarding. The catering was quite good, with hot coffee and warm water, which was very helpful. In March, it can be cold after snorkeling, so I think it's a good idea to bring plenty of towels.
少し天候が悪く風が強く曇りでした。
海に入るのが寒くて大変でした。
シュノーケル中は寒さを忘れるくらい楽しく、亀を見つけてはテンションが上がってました。
サンゴのところに亀がおりサンゴの周りから離れるとなんも生物はいませんでした。亀を見つけるのは大変でしたがインスタラクターの方がおる位置を教えてくれて見つけることができました。トータル6匹くらい見つけました。シュノーケルが終わったら自由時間で、サップを楽しみした。ケータリングもわりと充実しておりホットコーヒーやあったかいお湯がありとても助かります。

Unfortunately, due to high tide, we couldn't see the sandy beach, but we had a great time with marine sports in the beautiful sea.

always wanted to paddle out to the sandbar, but unfortunately picked the gale force wind day of the week to try it. On arrival seeing the white caps and some amateur kayakers struggling to paddle 10ft in the wind, basically paddling in place, I knew that this was going to be a rough adventure. Talking to the young staff girl, she stated that we could get a refund for the inclimate weather and typed it into the notes to the booker veltra. I said absolutely and we'll save this adventure for a different day. Thankyou state park girl, and because of that I would book this again.
Aloha! Thank you so much for this feedback. Please do come back and see us again for a sandbar kayaking adventure! Hopefully the bay will give us calmer, less windy conditions for you next time! Mahalo.

I chose Waikiki Beach because there are many high-rise hotels, and I wanted to spend time at a relaxing beach. Since I was with a toddler and a baby, we didn't do any specific activities; we just took a walk and played with the floaties we borrowed, but we were more than happy and satisfied. It was still a bit chilly for swimming, so there were few people, allowing us to fully enjoy the quiet and beautiful waters of Hawaii. The pizza for lunch had a mountain of minced garlic on it, so it might be a bit much for those sensitive to smells. In the afternoon, we went to the city and found many toys and goods from the popular Canadian anime, Paw Patrol, which we were able to purchase.
ワイキキビーチは高層ホテルが多いので、のんびりした雰囲気のビーチで過ごしたくて申し込みました。幼児とベビー連れだったので、アクティビティは特に何もせずに、お散歩と貸してもらった浮き輪で遊びましたが、充分喜んで満足していました。まだ、海水も少し冷たい時期なので人も少なく、静かで美しいハワイの海を満喫できました。ランチのピザはみじん切りのニンニクが山ほど振りかけてあるので臭いの気になる人は微妙かもしれません。午後は街に行ってマートに日本でも人気のカナダのアニメ、バウパトのオモチャやグッズがたくさんあったので購入することもできました。

The driver was half-Japanese and handsome, and his Japanese was also very good. After arriving at Kailua Beach, there were Japanese staff members who kindly taught us various things. You can rent lockers, which is helpful for storing your belongings when going to the beach. It was quite windy on the day we visited, and the sea was a bit rough, but Kailua Beach was very beautiful, and the water was wonderfully clear. I think the coral reefs would look even more beautiful on a sunny day. Next time I go to Hawaii, I want to try again on a nice weather day.
The pizza we chose for lunch was a quarter size, but it was really big and incredibly delicious. The bike options available were also enjoyable, and we rode to town while taking in the scenery like locals... If you bring Wi-Fi with you, you can navigate anywhere without getting lost!

My fiance and I had such a wonderful time on this cruise! It was our first time snorkeling, and we were a little nervous (for fellow first timers, the apparatus feels a little uncomfortable and claustrophobic on the boat, but feels so much better in the water)! However, the whole crew put us at ease and were super patient with us, helping us to get the perfect fit with our goggles and apparatus. Nicole even gave me one of her hair ties when I forgot mine! The lifeguards were great, helping us to find the best spots to watch turtles and fish, taught us a ton, and even dove down to get an octopus for us to pet. They were great about checking on everyone and making sure we were ok, comfortable, and having fun. The music and mai tais were excellent, and everyone was so friendly and sweet. They offered to take pictures without us even asking! This cruise is such an amazing deal for the price, and was for sure one of the highlights of our first trip to Oahu. My only advice is to be near Duke's at the Outrigger early, there is not super clear signage for where the boat comes in, so go to the bathroom and bring everything you might need so you have time to find the boat. Thanks for an amazing time!

The day was so fun and easy. The transportation met us at the collection point (and returned us in the afternoon). At the boat jetty, we were welcomed with Alohas. We spent some time on the sandbar to explore, and play a game of volleyball. We then gently motored for some turtle spotting. After that, we were taken to the beautiful coral reef where we snorkelled and flippered around, what a sensation! I thoroughly enjoyed the BBQ and hot chocolate!

We arrived at the location with a rental car as a family of four. Since our children had no experience with snorkeling, we went a bit early to choose the right size wetsuits and to learn how to use the equipment. The staff were all very kind. The unique boat allowed us to feel very close to the movements and behaviors of the creatures during the whale watching cruise. I felt that the explanations about marine life were also very professional. Finally, we could jump in and enjoy snorkeling, which I think provided a fun experience that you can't have on other whale watching tours. It was my first time in Hawaii, but I would like to participate in this company's small group, hands-on tours again next time.
家族4人でレンタカーに乗って現地入りしました。子供がシュノーケリング未経験のため少し早めに行き、ウェットスーツのサイズを決めたり道具の使い方を教えてもらいました。スタッフの方々は皆さんとても親切でした。独自のボートはホエールウォッチングクルーズの中でも最も水面に近く生き物の動きや様子をとても近くで感じることができました。海洋生物に関する解説も専門的であると感じました。最後はそこに飛び込んでシュノーケリングを楽しめるので、他のホエールウォッチングツアーでは体験できない楽しさがあると思いました。初のハワイでしたが、次行った時もこの会社の少人数で体感型のツアーに参加したいと思いました。

I wanted to see the sandbar, but even though I chose a tour date that would arrive at the sandbar right at low tide, the water level was still up to my waist at the end of January due to the rainy season. However, I knew this from my research, so I enjoyed paddleboarding and snorkeling instead. On the day of the tour, the weather was great, and the water wasn't cold. The staff were very kind, taking videos for us and answering our questions patiently, which was really helpful. Even without seeing the sandbar, I had a great time, but if I have the chance again, I would love to join a tour during the dry season.

We took a snorkel trip with the Moana boat crew and had a fantastic experience. We set sail on the beautiful catamaran at 0830 and to head out see the sea turtles at the infamous 'shell-cleaning' reef which is located just outside the breakers off Waikiki beach. Our Capt for the day, Anthony, was personable, friendly and made us all feel welcome aboard the boat. Zack and Sarah were the other two crew members and they were friendly, professional, and very helpful throughout the entire trip. 100% would sail with this crew again. Bring some tip $ for them, because they definitely deserve it. Book a tour today!
The snorkel site is popular and several boats are in the area, which is nice because you don't feel like you're out in the middle of the ocean alone. It can get busy with everyone trying to see the turtles and fish so be sure to keep an eye on the surface as well as watching what is below. Some turtles even come over to our boat and I snapped a photo (attached to this review). Overall water depth is about 20-30 feet and even on a cloudy & murky day (like ours) we could easily see numerous fish and several large sea turtles. We were even lucky enough to see Humpback whales (mom & baby)!!
We booked our trip in mid/late Feb and it was overcast & rainy. A bit chilly at times, but come prepared and it's a fun trip regardless. Plenty of covered space to store dry items, but a "drybag" is a nice touch on any beach/water adventure.
We booked the 0830 trip to maximize sea life activity which also resulted in 2 families being on the boat....8 people total. Virtually a private tour! When we pulled back into the pier for the next tour there were about 20-25 people waiting for the next tour. And, parking at the marina is easier before the crowds arrive.

The water was higher than I expected, reaching waist height. I aimed to go during low tide, but I couldn't see a very beautiful sandy beach. However, the water was clear, and snorkeling was amazing. There were many fish and turtles, and I was able to swim alongside them. I also enjoyed various experiences like stand-up paddleboarding. It was a lot of fun. The explanations in Japanese made me feel secure during the experience. I definitely want to check the low tide again when I visit Hawaii next time.
思ったより海の水も腰の高さまであり、

The Hanauma Bay tour, which resumed in February, had a limited number of participants, so I felt safe joining.
I participated in the afternoon, and the low tide made everything look beautiful. The water is shallow, so it's reassuring even for beginners. They also taught us how to handle situations when water gets into the mask, and we gradually progressed, so I wasn't scared. For those who still find it challenging, the instructor stays with you the whole time.
I was very satisfied to see a variety of colorful fish and turtles. It's also comforting that communication in Japanese is perfectly fine.
2月から再開したハナウマ湾ツアー、人数制限もされていて安心して参加できました。
午後の参加でしたが、引き潮で綺麗にみえました。
浅めなので初めてでも安心です。
水がマスクに入ってしまったときの対処法なども教えてもらいながら徐々に進んでいくので怖くありません。
それでも大変な方はずっと先生についてもらえます。
色とりどりの魚にカメもみられて大変満足でした。
日本語で大丈夫なのも安心です。
Thank you for joining our tour, which has just resumed after three years. We, the instructors, are very happy to be back at work after such a long time, and we are excited to ensure everyone has a great time.
On that day, the tide was low, so the visibility was good, and I think it was a lucky day because the waves brought the turtles in close.
Please come back for another tour when you visit Hawaii again. Next time, we hope to guide you further out!
Thank you. Mahalo!!
3年振りに再開したばかりのツアーにお越しいただき、ありがとうございます。
久しぶりに仕事復帰できて私達インストラクターもとても喜んでいますし、皆様に楽しんでいただけるよう気合も入っております。
この日は引き潮でしたので透明度も良く、でも波があったからこそその波に乗って亀がインサイドまで入ってくれていてラッキーな日だったと思います。
ぜひまたハワイにお越しの際にはツアーに来てくださいね。次回は沖の方をご案内できればと思っております!!
ありがとうございました。Mahalo!!

My husband and I, with my 21 year old son, had so much fun on our recent trip to Kaneohe Bay Sandbar with Ocean Sports Adventure. The trip started with an easy check-in process. We left the pier at 9:30 and arrived at the sandbar in 15 minutes. During this time, the crew served donuts and drinks while two musicians played live music. They were really good and professional. When we arrived there, we snorkeled first. Lots of reef fish! Then we tried SUP for the first time. Since it was such a windy day, the crew made sure we didn't float away to the areas that we weren't supposed to be. The captain took some of us on his boat and went to a nearby reef where green sea turtles are. We saw 2 of them! I highly recommend this activity to anyone!
