We participated with our family of four, including elementary school students. We were worried about seasickness, but it was quieter than we expected, and we were totally fine. We saw a lot of sea turtles, and at the snorkeling point, there were many beautiful fish! The water at Angel's Beach came up to our knees, but it seemed like the kids were able to practice snorkeling, which was great. For lunch, the kids happily made their own hamburgers. However, it was cold when we got out of the water. But we warmed up with the hot cocoa that was provided. I recommend bringing a thick hoodie and a bath towel.
家族4人小学生を連れての参加でした。
船酔いを心配してましたが思ったより静かで全然大丈夫でした。海ガメもたくさん見れたし、シュノーケルポイントでは綺麗な魚がたくさん見れました!
天使の海は膝まで水がきてたけど、子供たちはシュノーケルの練習もでき良かったようです。
お昼のハンバーガー思い思いに作って子供たちは喜んでほうばっていましたね。
ただ海から上がると寒かった。でも用意して下さった温かいココアを飲んで持ち直しました。
バスタオル巻き巻き厚手のパーカーあたりを持って行くことをお勧めします。

This tour was very enjoyable. Even though we didn't get to see but one whale. The captain and crew made every effort to locate them. And we did encounter a whale but the whale didn't want to entertain us which is no fault of the crew. The boat ride itself was nice and relaxing. I would definitely do it again.

I flew from Los Angeles to celebrate a best friend's birthday in January 2017, and made up another friend's and my own birthday (in November). I treated my friends and myself with the Five Star - Luxury French Cuisine with Live Jazz. It's was a great evening with the hula dancer's Happy Birthday song to my friend, the waiters cordial and professional service, delicious meal, conversation/fellowship time, pianist and jazz music performance which was very interactive with the guests, and nice view of the Sunset, Wikikki hotel "forest" and Diamond Head. Everything was perfect! Absolutely loved it. And it's a great and memorial experience for my friends, too! Thank you all for serving us!

My husband and I participated with our 3.6-year-old. As per the information provided, we brought towels, warm clothing, and motion sickness medication, and boarded the bus without a changing area (the wet suit rental didn't fit). I was worried about getting seasick and snorkeling in deep water for the first time, but the care from the staff completely alleviated my concerns! They said the hamburger was amazing. We swam with dolphins and fish, and also saw a humpback whale and a turtle. I was moved to hear the dolphins' voices in the video! We also enjoyed the slide, trampoline, and stand-up paddleboarding, so it was definitely a fantastic experience!
小3.6年と夫が参加しました。情報があったとおり、タオル、防寒着、酔い止め持参して、着替え場所無しでそのままバスにのりました。(ウェットレンタルはサイズ合いません)
酔いやすいのと、初めて深い海でのシュノーケルが不安でしたが、それを吹き飛ばすスタッフさんのケアにに大満足!!ハンバーガー最高と言ってました。イルカ、魚と泳げ、ザトウクジラとカメも見れました。ビデオに、イルカの声が入ってることにも感動!!滑り台、トランポリン、SUPもでき、大満喫間違い無しです!

I participated in the tour during my honeymoon.
Due to the timing, there were about 30 participants in the tour. The guide's explanations were bright, making the tour enjoyable.
Since we were informed in advance to wear swimsuits, we were able to smoothly enter the sea. It was a bit chilly because it was the rainy season, but there were warm drinks available after returning to the boat, which was a relief.
The air conditioning on the return bus was a bit strong, so I recommend changing properly after getting out of the sea.

ガイドの説明が明るく、つターが楽しくなりました。
事前に水着着用の連絡があったため、スムーズに海に入ることができました。

帰りのバスが、少々エアコンがきいていたので、海に入った後は、きちんと着替えることをお勧めします。

I participated in a long-awaited tour to swim with dolphins during my trip to Hawaii. I have snorkeled a few times before, but swimming with wild dolphins was a first for me, and it was truly moving.
The weather was nice, but since it was February, it was a bit cold even with a rented wetsuit. I think it's a good idea to prepare for warmth and take motion sickness medication.
On this tour, I was lucky enough to see not only dolphins but also whales and sea turtles. The staff on the boat made it really fun with music and hula dance shows, so I had a great time. It became a wonderful memory of my time in Hawaii!
I definitely want to participate again the next time I come to Hawaii.
今回のハワイ旅行で念願のイルカと泳ぐツアーに参加しました。シュノーケリングは今までに何度かしたことはありますが、野生のイルカと泳ぐのは初めてだったので、とても感動しました。
天気は良かったですが、2月だったのでウエットスーツをレンタルしても少し寒かったです。
防寒と酔い止め対策は確りとしておいたほうが良いと思います。
今回のツアーでは運良くイルカだけでなく、クジラやウミガメも見ることができたし、船の中では音楽やフラダンスのショーでスタッフの方々が楽しく盛り上げてくれたので本当に楽しかったです。ハワイでの良い思い出になりました‼
次にハワイへ来るときも是非参加したいと思います。

I was so excited to see whales and I wasn't disappointed! Guaranteed indeed.
We saw a few pod of whales and it was always entertaining to watch them swim by and see their blows. I actually saw one that threw its tail out of the water up close when I was heading to the restroom, but very quickly that no one noticed it I think. I just got lucky, haha!
It was a nice cruise, great customer service from the crew, delicious food, and gorgeous views of the Waikiki coastline and Diamond Head! There were fun activities on board too like lei making, ukulele lessons, and hula lessons. I really enjoyed the trip! I was with a group of friends but as a mom, I would definitely recommend this for families with young children as well, it's a great activity for all ages so anyone are welcome!

The dishes lack consistency, and it's unclear what the main focus is. The chef offers roast beef and hand-rolled sushi. Just this alone raises questions, right? Drinks are charged separately.

We participated as a couple in our 40s. We arrived at the port in no time while laughing at the guide's broken Japanese jokes on the bus ride there. When it was time to split into two boats, they asked for preferences between a Japanese-only boat and an international boat. Since it was a special occasion, we chose the international boat. That said, the woman who guided us was Japanese, so we felt reassured. The BBQ lunch was truly delicious, just as the reviews said! After the meal, the male guide entertained us with his beautiful singing while playing the guitar. There were some lucky people who encountered a sea turtle while snorkeling. We could only see it from the boat, but it was a very satisfying tour.

I booked a plan without pick-up. The check-in location listed on the voucher is the Paradise cruise office, but in reality, there is no such office, so you need to check in at the Stat of Honolulu reservation office.
The breakfast isn't particularly delicious, but I was able to enjoy warm dishes and coffee.
About two hours after departure, we spotted a whale just 20 meters from the boat! We were lucky to see it.
Since the boat is quite large, positioning is also important.

Overall the tour was well organised and professional. However due to low visibility from low cloud and rain, the helicopter part of the tour was cancelled and refunded. Since the hotel pick up was 6am, we had already flown to the big island before that decision was made, therefore the package became just an expensive day trip bus ride. We would have preferred to cancel the whole trip if we had known the helicopter portion was not gonig ahead, althought that is the decison of the pilots.
The bus tour and guide was very good and knowleldgeable and could not fault what we did experience.

This was a great trip to go on. The check-in went smooth and the staff were friendly. The ocean was rough but the boat was so stable that I did not even get sea sick. While we were not able to go snorkeling because of this, we saw a whale and lots of dolphins! The morning sunshine made for a beautiful backdrop to the Waianae coastline. Ocean Joy is environmentally friendly to the dolphins and we normally would get to snorkel- just not with the dolphins since it disturbs them.
Our photographer gave everyone a 50% discount on our normally $40 photo package and the photos turned out great! We appreciated the treatment of the crew and everyone had fun even though we did not snorkel. Drinks and lunch were served and everything was tasty. I had fun and look forward to going with this crew again someday. Thanks to Veltra for a smooth confirmation process. It could not have been easier to book a fun outing.

I went during the May holiday. I checked the tide chart in advance and aimed to book on the day with the lowest tide during my stay. While riding the boat from the harbor to the point, I could see the sandbars, but unfortunately, by the time we arrived, the tide had come in.
Still, we were blessed with good weather, and the white sand, combined with the blue sky, created a beautiful scenery. On the way to the point, we also saw many turtles.
It's important to choose a day and time with good conditions; otherwise, it will just be a shallow area. I recommend checking the tide chart in advance.
5月の連休に行きました。潮見表で事前に滞在期間の中でも最も潮の引いている日を狙って申し込みました。ハーバーからボートに乗り、ポイントに向かっているときには砂洲が見えていましたが、残念ながら到着したときには潮が被ってしまいました。
それでも天気に恵まれ白い砂が透けて青空と相まって美しい景色が広がりました。途中ポイントに向かう前に亀もたくさん見れました。

There were efforts to make the tour enjoyable, but the satisfaction really varies greatly depending on the conditions of the day. Personally, I found the Kayama Island tour in Ishigaki Island to have prettier corals and fish.

This is my second time going to Oahu but was traveling with friends who have never gone. One was really interested in whale watching so we saw links for the Honi Olani Catamaran Sail and decided to try this one out. We're super glad we did because this was such a great tour!
The staff are extremely friendly and they provide such a great experience. The first time we went, we didn't see any whales but that may have been because of the strong waves and number of boats sailing around which might have scared them away.
Regardless of seeing whales, the cruise was awesome. It was really nice to be able to feel the sun on the catamaran and have a nice beverage while we enjoyed the weather. The tour was nice to give us a free voucher to ride again to see if we can spot whales the second time and we did! We ended up seeing a mother whale teaching her male calf how to breach!
I would definitely cruise again with this crew when I come back to Oahu. Mahalo for the great experience guys
