Oahu
we just went to this activity last Wednesday 8.30 am and it was great! We arrived a bit early and just took a walk around the park. very nice area. They have easy parking next to the Marina where you can park for $1.00/ hour. The crew on the cruise was very nice and made us feel welcome right away. We were only 6 on the cruise witch made it very intimate. I think that is one of the great advantages of the morning cruise, We took a drink and sat on the front nats until we saw turtle and dauphins and finally on the way back a couple whales. The whales were the least impressive as you stand far away and they don t really jump out of the water as you see on TV. It was one mother and one maybe and they basically just came up to the surface to breath every so often. Everything considering, this was a great way to spend morning. Maybe a bit overpriced but the crew and amenities were great.
Compare to the huge ships, I would choose this one every time just so you actually feel like you are on a boat .
Snacks could use improvement and the way back to marina was a bit rushed
Great whale watching cruise!! nice crew ,good food and we saw whales !!!
Highly recommended!
The boat is a twin-hulled vessel with dual propulsion and has a restroom. It moves within Kaneohe Bay, protected from waves by a coral reef, so there's hardly any rocking and no worries about seasickness. Participants were evenly split between Japanese and people from other countries.
It's reassuring that there are staff members who can speak Japanese.
I signed up without much expectation, but the sandbar was amazing!!! A vast expanse of white sand. People playing beach volleyball. English conversations, jokes, and laughter echoing around. Boats anchored here and there. Staff playing guitar and singing.
I truly felt like I had come to paradise. I will never forget this experience. I'm really glad I came.
At the turtle spot, I was able to see many turtles.
I was lucky enough to swim with turtles while snorkeling. They allow you to go without a life jacket, so you can enjoy deep dives. There are plenty of fish! About an hour of fun!
In March, the water is cold. It's fine while you're in, but it gets chilly once you get out, so be sure to bring a bath towel and a change of clothes.
The boat has a cabin and quite a bit of space, so you can bring in a fair amount of luggage. There are several staff members on each boat, and there’s always someone where the luggage is, so I felt safe from theft.
There are no showers, but at the end, they rinse you off with a bucket of fresh water.
Soft drinks are available for free. I was also happy to have hot cocoa after getting out of the water. The hamburgers for lunch were delicious.
All the staff were cheerful and made a great impression. They really seemed to enjoy being with the customers, which made it fun!
I met up at the location, but you can park for free at the boat harbor.
Like with any tour, changing from swimwear to clothes is done in the restroom. However, those using the shuttle can ride the bus in their swimwear.
Yuki, the Japanese staff member, was very efficient, humorous, and took great care of us.
I highly recommend this tour.
超オススメです。

本当に来て良かった。
亀スポットではたくさんの亀さんも見れました。
シュノーケリングでも運良く亀さんと一緒に泳ぐことができました。
ライジャケ無しでも行かせてくれるので
ディープダイブできて楽しいです。お魚たくさん♪1hrくらい♪
3月だと水は冷たいです。
入水中は良いのですが、出てから寒いので、バスタオルと着替えを持ってゆきましょう。
ボートはキャビン艇で結構スペースがあるので割と荷物を持ち込めます。
一隻に数人スタッフが乗り込み、荷物のある場所には必ずスタッフがいる感じでしたので
盗難の心配もありませんでした。
シャワーはありませんが、最後にバケツ一杯くらいの真水で流してくれます。
ソフトドリンクは自由に飲めます。
最後、水からあがったらホットココアを頂けたのもうれしかった。
お昼のハンバーガーもおいしかった。
スタッフ方々全員明るく好印象です。
お客さんと一緒に楽しんでいる感がハンパなくて楽しい!
私は現地集合でしたが、ボートハーバーに無料で駐車できます。
どこのツアーもそうですが、水着→洋服の着替えはトイレで。
ただし、送迎利用の人は、水着のままバス乗ってOKだということでした。
日本人スタッフのユキさんはハキハキ・テキパキとしていてユーモアもあって
たいへんお世話になりました。
オススメのツアーです。
First of all, it’s a coastal area, but since we go out into the open sea, it can get rocky. I got seasick, even though I’m usually fine with marine sports.
As for the dolphins, it seems that most of the approximately 30 participants were able to see them, but I couldn’t.
There were moments when they shouted, “The dolphins are over there! Jump in!” and “They’re over here! Jump in!” It didn’t feel like we were swimming together with them. When I desperately swam and looked around underwater, I could see them.
All the participants were Japanese. There were two staff members who could speak Japanese, and the others could mostly communicate as well. It was impressive to see the staff working hard to energize the somewhat reserved Japanese participants.
I was more impressed by the snorkeling than the dolphins. The water clarity was amazing!! It was about 10 meters deep, I think. The high transparency made it feel like I was flying in the sky, and the fish were beautiful, which was very moving. I’ve done snorkeling on other tours, but this one was by far the best!
The staff’s enthusiasm to help us see the dolphins and their desire to make it enjoyable was a very likable aspect of the tour.
まず、、、沿海ですが外海に出ますので揺れます。
そして酔います。普段からマリンスポーツでならしている私でも酔いました。
イルカですが、ツアー参加者30人程度の大多数が見れたようですが、
私は見れませんでした。
あっちにイルカが来た!それ飛び込め!、こっちにいる!飛び込め!
といった感じで飛び込みます。一緒に泳ぐという感じではないかな?
そして、必死に泳いで水中を見回すと見れるようです。
参加者は全員日本人。スタッフも日本語話せる方二人。その他の方もだいたい話せます。
ノリにくい日本人を必死に盛り上げるスタッフの姿が印象的。
私はイルカよりもシュノーケリングに感動しました。
水の透明度がすごい!!
水深10mくらいでしょうか。
透明度が高いのでまるで空を飛んでいるようで、魚もきれいで、とても感動しました。
他のツアーでもシュノーケリングしましたが
ここのがダントツです!
なんとかイルカを見てもらいたいというスタッフの熱意と
楽しませたいという思いが好感持てるツアーでした。
I visited the Bishop Museum with 15 members of my hula class and experienced a hula lesson. Although the hula teacher was absent and we had an assistant instead, I was very satisfied to receive an authentic hula lesson. Everything was explained in Japanese except for the hula teacher, which made it very easy to understand.
フラ教室メンバー15名とビショップミュージアム見学と、フラレッスンを体験して来ました。
フラの先生は、先生が不在で助手の方でしたが、それでも、本場のフラレッスンを受ける事が出来て大満足です。
フラの先生以外は全て日本語でとても分かりやすかったです。
I was able to interact with dolphins for the first time. It's a rare experience that you can't easily have, and I can brag about it to my friends after returning to Japan. The price is high, but I think it's worth it. There's a huge difference between doing it and not doing it.
初めてイルカと触れ合えました。こんな貴重な体験はなかなか出来ないしにほんに戻った後も友達に自慢出来ます。料金は高いですがやる価値はあると思います。やるのとやらないのでは全然違いますよ
I researched the dates of high and low tides for the sandbar in advance on the internet and signed up for a morning tour on the day with the lowest tide during my stay in Hawaii. As a result, I was able to walk on the completely exposed sandbar. For those who are considering signing up for this tour, I highly recommend checking the dates of high and low tides beforehand.
However, even when the sandbar is completely exposed, there are designated spots where the boat can approach, and it stops a little away from the sandbar. Everyone has to get off the boat and walk a short distance in the water, which is up to waist-deep. We had an elderly grandmother with us who had no intention of getting in the water, including snorkeling, but she didn't know this and ended up participating in her underwear. She had to quickly take it off and walk in the still cold seawater up to her waist in late March, which was quite confusing for her.
Since we had an elderly grandmother and two elementary school children with no snorkeling experience, our whole family did not participate in snorkeling. However, if you don’t snorkel, you will have to wait on the boat for a while, which can be a bit boring. For those who are unsure about snorkeling, I recommend going for it. I think it would make the tour much more enjoyable.
The snorkeling spot seemed to have a lot of fish, and the participants appeared to be having a great time. There were also small fish, sea turtles, and pufferfish around the boat that we could see.
It’s best to wear your swimsuit beforehand, and the return bus has towels laid out on the seats, so you can ride back to the hotel in your swimsuit. It would have been helpful to know this information in advance, but I wasn't sure how to ask about it through VELTRA, so I was uncertain until just before departure whether to bring a change of clothes. I thought it might have been better to book the tour through HIS instead.
インターネットで事前にサンドバーの満潮干潮の日にちを調べて、ハワイ滞在中に一番干潮になる日の午前のツアーに申し込みました。なので、完全に水が引いているサンドバーを散歩することができました。これからこのツアーに申し込まれる方は、ぜひサンドバーの満潮干潮の日にちを下調べしてから、申し込まれるといいですよ。
ただ、サンドバーは完全に水が引けている時でさえも、船は近づける場所が決まっていて、サンドバーから少し離れたところに止まり、みんな船から降りて水の中を少しだけ歩いていくのですが、船を降りるところは腰まで水に浸かります。
うちは高齢のおばあちゃんがいて、シュノーケルをはじめとして水に入る気が全くなかったのですが、それを知らなかったため、下着を付けて参加していて、急遽脱がなくてはいけなくなり、3月下旬でまだ冷たい海水に腰まで浸かりながら歩かなければいけなかったので、戸惑わせてしまいました。
高齢のおばあちゃんと、シュノーケル経験がない小学生2人がいたため、シュノーケルは家族全員参加しませんでしたが、シュノーケルをしないと船の上でしばらく待っていることになるので少しつまらなかったです。シュノーケルをどうしようかと迷っている方は、思い切ってなさった方がいいです。そのほうがずっとずっと楽しめるツアーになると思います。
シュノーケルの場所は魚がたくさんいるみたいで、参加されて方々は楽しいようでした。一応、船の周囲にも、小さな魚たちや、ウミガメ、フグがやってきて見ることができました。
水着は事前に着用して参加し、帰りのバスも座席にバスタオルが敷いてあり、水着のまま乗り込んでホテルまで帰ることができます。こうした情報が、事前に知れるとよかったのですが、VELTRAさんを通してだとどういう風に聞くのか分からなかったので、着替えを持っていくのかどうかと出発直前まで悩みました。HIS経由でもツアー申込ができたので、そうすればよかったかなと思いました。
Aloha! Thank you for joining the tour the other day. For beginners, we practice how to wear the snorkel mask before diving in. If you're not confident in your swimming skills, you can also enjoy yourself in areas where you can stand, so I believe you can participate with peace of mind. Next time, please be sure to take the plunge and try snorkeling! Thank you for sharing so much information.
アロハ!先日はツアーにご参加頂きましてありがとうございます。
シュノーケルは初心者の方の為にマスクの付け方ら練習して挑戦して頂きます。泳ぎに自信がない方は足のつくところで楽しんで頂く事もできますので安心してご参加頂けると思います。次回は是非!思い切ってシュノーケルに挑戦してみてくださいね。
たくさんの情報シェアありがとうございました。
the food is delicious but choices are limited. There were wonderful view and music & performence
日本語ガイドがいる日本船と 英語のみの英語船とがありました。
私たち家族は英語船へ、母と友人は日本語船へ乗船。
日本人に人気のサンドバーだけあって 日本船は満員でした。
それに比べて英語船は (同じ大きさですが)ゆったりのんびり。
この差が大きく出たのは ランチ時です。
ずーっと並んでいる日本人を横目に ランチのお代わりをする英語船。
亀何匹見れた?って友人に聞いたら 3匹も見れたよ~ と返事。
そっちは何匹?と聞かれ 30匹以上見れた と返事するのが申し訳ない位。
日本人ガイドさんとは サンドバーに上陸したときに会えるので、
特に英語で困らなければ 英語船への乗船をお勧めします。
元々乗組員は全員英語 ジョークも英語ですので、わからない方にはわかりません。
シュノーケリングを楽しんで 亀を見るだけなら
英語がわからなくても大丈夫です。
ただ海の透明度は メキシコのカンクンなどに比べるとはるかに落ちますが、
こんなに一杯魚いるんだ~ と感激しました。
初シュノーケリングではまりました。
(翌年はメキシコでシュノーケリングするくらいはまりました)
It was a good fun thing to do as a family. My only complaint was we were to be released by tables for the food but apparently the Japan folks didn't get that and we ended up having to wait a long time. The ship was clean and the staff we nice.
The catamaran was the perfect vessel to get up close to Dolphins, turtles and other sea life. From the minute we got on board the entire crew had welcomed us and made us feel comfortable. The captain explained what we would see and the rules of the vessel and was ready and willing to answer any questions or address any issues. I was impressed that they offered sunscreen to use and oil for motion sickness. It was thoughtful of them and they really cared about their passengers having a good trip. They had refreshments and juices for free. They offered beer for ($1) and mixed drinks for ($2). The drinks were strong, too. : ) We saw several pods of Dolphins, turtles and a whale. It was an awesome experience. I would take my children next time we go to Hawaii. Thank you to all the crew. You were the best!
I was worried about seasickness and the possibility of falling into the sea while traveling with my almost 2-year-old and 6-year-old, but those worries were completely unfounded. At first, we only caught a glimpse of a dorsal fin, but before we knew it, we were treated to the spectacular sight of 3 or 4 whales diving one after another! Both the kids and the adults, including the captain, were thrilled. On the way back, we were also able to see dolphins.
One thing… I would have appreciated a bit more for breakfast. However, we returned to the hotel by late morning and were able to make very meaningful use of our day.
もうすぐ2歳児と6歳の子供連れで、船酔いの心配や万が一海に落ちたら!などの心配をしてたのですが、全く杞憂でした。
最初は背びれを少し目撃するだけでしたが、気付いたら3.4頭のクジラが次々豪快なダイブを見せてくれました!子供も大人も船長さん(笑)も大興奮でした。帰りにはイルカたちも見ることが出来ました。
あと、一つ…やはり朝食が…もう少しだけ何かあれば嬉しかったです。
ですが、お昼前にはホテルに戻り、とても有意義に1日を使うことが出来ました。
Thank you very much for participating in our cruise.
We appreciate you sharing those nice photos!
It seems that you encountered some very active whales on the day of your participation, and we are very happy about that.
You were lucky to meet dolphins as well!
Regarding the meals, I will forward your comments to the person in charge to help improve future cruises.
All of our staff looks forward to welcoming you again.

The hotel pickup was at 7:20 AM, and we were back at the hotel by noon. It was a meaningful tour where we got to see the cruise and whales. Right near Waikiki Bay, we saw many spouts as if they were waiting for us.
朝の7時20分ホテルピックアップで、昼前にはホテルに戻れて
クルーズとクジラも見れて有意義なツアーでした。
ワイキキ湾のすぐ近くで、待っていたかのように多くの潮吹きが見えました。
Thank you very much for boarding with us. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed your experience. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you aboard again when you visit Hawaii.
この度は、ご乗船頂きまして、誠にありがとうございます。楽しめて頂けたご様子で、とても嬉しく思います。また、ハワイにお越しの際には、ご乗船頂けます様、スタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げます。
Last time, the weather was clear and the water was shallow, just like the application page, but this time it was cloudy and cold, with deep water, which was far from the expected image. I was disappointed by the low energy of the staff and their unwillingness to take us to the shallowest area.
前回は快晴で水も浅く、正に申込ページのようでしたが、今回は曇りで寒く、水も深くイメージとはかけ離れた状況。。
それ以上にスタッフのテンションの低さと一番浅いところまでも連れて行ってくれない対応にがっかりしました。
Thank you very much for participating in the tour.

Did this activity 18 March 2015 and thoroughly enjoyed it. All seats have amazing views, informative and fun guide and plenty of one-off photo opportunities. We saw turtles and sting rays along with huge fish and an array of pretty smaller ones. Would be happy to do this activity again! Thank you!
The flowers were perfect! We loved them!
We would recommend these Lei's!
They smelled so good!
Glad you loved your leis! Sheila enjoyed greeting you two!
Mahalo,
Honolulu Lei Greetings
We looked around at a lot of luaus but then we luckily got recommended for chiefs from our front desk lady. The food was amazing, the stuff before was a lot of fun. The show was incredible and the chief was a blast and very funny! Would defiantly recommend it to anyone looking for a great luau at a pretty good price!
The large ship was stable, and my wife and son, who are prone to seasickness, had no issues. Although we didn't see the dynamic whales like in the pictures, we were able to spot a few whales that surfaced and spouted water.
大きな船で揺れもなく、船酔いする妻と息子も問題ありませんでした。
写真で見るようなダイナミックな鯨は見られませんが、数回姿をあらわして潮を吹く鯨を見ることが出来ました。
Thank you very much for boarding with us. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you aboard again when you visit Hawaii.

My family of four had a great time on this cruise. We did have some trouble finding the boat in the slip at the harbor. Directions could have been better. Once we were on the boat, everything was what was expected. The crew was very nice and helpful. We found a pod of whales right away and then went and snorkeled at a reef because we had time. Drinks were great along the way.
I participated in the morning. On the day I joined, the sandbar had water depth up to my knees, and the sandbar was not visible. It was quite cold, and I shivered. It's definitely better to wear a rash guard or something similar. Once you get into the water for snorkeling, you get used to the cold. The fish are quite deep down, so they can be a bit hard to see. However, there are plenty of coral reefs, and you can see some fish. When you dive and come back up to the boat, it gets cold again, so I recommend bringing a larger bath towel. Anyway, all the staff here are very energetic and friendly! I would love to participate again next time!
午前に参加しました。参加した日のサンドバーは水深がヒザぐらいまであって、サンドバーは見えなかったです。結構寒くて震えました。ラッシュガードなど必ず着た方がいいです。シュノーケリングで水中に入ってると、冷たさは慣れてきます。魚はかなり下の方にいるので少し見えにくいです。でもサンゴ礁がいっぱいでそれなりに魚も見れます。潜って船上に上がるとまた寒いので大きめのバスタオルを持参することおススメです。とにかくこちらのスタッフさんは皆さんとても元気で感じのいいスタッフさんばかりです!また次回参加したいです!
Last year, the kids went to Wet'n Wild for a summer program and had so much fun that they decided to participate again during our stay in Oahu. Since it was the off-season in February, it was only open on weekends, so there were fewer visitors, and it seemed like there were more locals. They rode the Tornado and other attractions with local kids, and it was scarier and more fun than they expected. We rented a cabana, which allowed us to relax in the shade, and since we signed up for a plan that included lunch and free drinks (the containers were unique), the kids were happy. The taste of the lunch was... but the kids, who were starving after swimming, were satisfied. The shuttle service was smooth, and they fell asleep on the bus ride back. I think it's easier than going by rental car. I would like to sign up again next time.
去年子供たちがサマープログラムでWet'n wildに行き、とても楽しかったらしく、今回のオアフステイでも参加することに。2月のオフシーズンだったので週末しか営業していなかったので、入場者自体少なくロコの方が多かったように思います。地元の子供達と一緒にトルネードや他のアトラクションに乗ったりしましたが、思っていた以上に怖くて面白かったです。カバナを借りていたので、日陰でゆったりも出来ましたし、昼食とフリードリンク付き(容器が独特です)のプランに申し込みしていたので子供達は喜んでいました。昼食の味は……でしたが、泳いでお腹ペコペコの子供達は満足してました。送迎もスムーズで、帰りのバスで爆睡してました。レンタカーで行くより楽だと思います。次回も申し込みたいです。
We boarded on February 27th. We encountered many whales just off the coast of Honolulu. While having lunch, we went out on the deck to watch, and on board, there were activities like a handmade lei class, hula dance class, and live Hawaiian music, making for a very enjoyable experience.
私たちは2月27日に乗船しました。ホノルルからすぐ近くで沢山のクジラに出会えました。
ランチしながらデッキに出てウォッチングしたり、船内では手作りレイ教室やフラダンス教室、
ハワイアンミュージックの生演奏と充実した内容で、とても楽しかったです。
Thank you very much for boarding with us. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you aboard again when you visit Hawaii.

I was told by the travel agency to book the Heaven's Sea tour early, but I completely forgot, and the tour was fully booked. So, I used Veltra.
There were a lot of tour guests on a large bus, just like those I often see in Japan. I thought it might be hard to relax with so many people, but once we got to the sea, I was able to enjoy it all to myself.
Until we reached the port, a cheerful guide provided explanations in English. After that, we took a 10-minute boat ride to the sandbar. First, we walked in the shallow water and played beach volleyball. The guide took photos of us in various poses, which became great memories.
We moved to a spot where we could see turtles and snorkeled around some deeper coral. I was thrilled to swim alongside sea turtles, which I never expected to do. The hamburgers for lunch were freshly grilled on a BBQ set on the boat, and they were the best!
天国の海ツアー、早めに予約してくださいね、と旅行会社の方に言われていたのですが、すっかり忘れていて旅行会社でのツアーは満席。
そこで、veltraを利用しました。
日本でもよく見る大型のバス一杯のツアー客でした。
こんなにいたら、のんびりできないのでは…?なんて思いましたが、いざ海にいってみたら、充分独り占めできました。
港に着くまで、陽気なガイドさんが説明をしてくれます(英語)
そこから、船に10分ほどのって、サンドバーへ向かいました。
まずは、浅いところで、歩いたり、ビーチバレーをしました。そこで、ガイドの方に写真を撮っていただいたのですが、何通りものポーズでとっていただき、いい思い出になりました。
亀を見ながら場所を移動し、少し深い珊瑚の周りで、シュノーケルをしました。
海ガメと一緒に泳げるとは思わなかったので、感激しました。
お昼のハンバーガーも、船のうえのBBQセットで焼きたてで、最高でした!
Our guide and marine biologist, Adam, was very knowledgeable about the whales and the area and explained everything we needed to know. The pod of baby whales we saw (5 of them) gave everyone a great show all the way back to the pier. I hope everyone that takes this cruise gets the same opportunity to see what we saw.
This Circle Island tour was terrific. Our guide, Dai Mar, was very knowledgeable about Oahu, the islands in general, and the places we visited. We saw the North Shore and spent time at the Banzai Pipeline, we visited Waimea Falls after a nice stroll/hike with lots of info about the area and the flora/fauna, we ate at Fumi's Shrimp Truck, and we stopped at a Macadamia farm/shop. It was fun, relaxed, and I learned a lot, plus the views were fantastic!
Aloha,
Thank you for the great review. We are so happy we got to share these fantastic places on our island with you. We take great pride in the wonderfeul personalities and extensive knowledge of our guides. Your great review and kind words are always satisfying to hear. We hope you had a great time in Hawaii and come visit our paradise again soon.

On the day of our visit, the sky was cloudy and it was still a bit chilly. The pool was cold...
The slides were thrilling and great. We participated in the deluxe course, which included a 30-minute bodyboard lesson, and we had the wave pool all to ourselves. I recommend it for beginners, especially for kids. My child (8 years old) really got into it.
Overall, it felt a bit outdated, but if the weather is nice, I think it's a fun place for families with children.
The best time to visit is after April when it starts to get warmer.
参加当日は、曇り空で未だ肌寒い状況でした。
プールが冷たかった・・。
スライダー系は迫力満点で良かったです。
今回、デラックスコースで参加しましたが、ボディーボードレッスン付(30分)で
波のでるプールを貸切にして行われます。
初めての人にはお勧めですよ。特に子供さんには良いです。
うちの子(8才)はすっかりはまってしまいました。
全体的にはちょっと古くなってきている感はありましたが、天候が良ければ子供連れには
楽しめる場所と思います。
お薦め時期は熱くなってくる4月以降がいいですね。
The weather was nice and it was a pleasant cruise, but it wasn't as good for watching as I had hoped. A couple of whales spouted, but I think many people missed them because they were small. I guess it's just luck, isn't it? Diamond Head was clearly visible and the scenery was beautiful!
お天気も良く気持ちいいクルーズでしたが期待していた程のウォッチングではありませんでした。2頭ほど塩は吹いてくれましたが小さく見逃した方も多くいらしたと思います。
こればかりは運ですかねぇ〜ダイヤモンドヘッドは良く見え美しい景色でした!
Thank you very much for boarding with us. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you aboard again when you visit Hawaii.

We couldn't see the dolphins up close during the dolphin watching, so it seems the kids didn't enjoy it as much. However, it was nice that there was food and drinks available in case the kids got bored.
イルカウォッチングほど近くで見る事が出来なかったので、子供も今ひとつ楽しむことが出来なかったよう。子供が飽きてもご飯や飲み物があったのが良かったです。
Thank you for boarding with us this time. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you aboard again when you visit Hawaii.

My friends and I were finally able to get together on Oahu, and we knew that we wanted to spend it out on the water. This cruise was the perfect choice since we got to snorkel at TWO spots (both filled with fish, coral, urchins, etc.), sipped on cocktails, devoured plates and plates of food, watched the sunset AND got to see whales! We literally couldn't ask for more!
After leaving the harbor, we headed out to the first snorkel spot and got the first glimpse of whales and after we got out of the water (which was really warm by the way), we saw even MORE whales!
The food was really hearty and filling (pulled pork, teriyaki chicken, a really tasty pasta salad, white rice, veggies and fruit) and the crew kept all of our drinks topped up :)
Really happy that we got to go on this cruise, and can't wait to go again on my next visit!
I couldn't recommend this tour more. It felt very local with funny local tour guides and a private reef to snorkel! Even saw four giant sea turtles while swimming! Thanks again and a hui hou! Aloha!
