I was very moved because I was able to see both dolphins and sea turtles up close. I dove into the sea three times in total. The sea turtles were really close, it was amazing! There were about six of them. There were also many dolphins, and I got to see them jump.
I’m not great at swimming, but I managed. (When diving from the boat, there was pressure because people were waiting behind me, so I jumped in. But it was a bit scary. I ended up drinking a lot of seawater, but I was so moved that I didn’t care, and I floated back up on my own.)
I felt that it was very kind of them to call the hotel in the morning to check if I was awake. Moreover, the voice on the phone was refreshing and reassuring.
The new guide was on their first tour, so good luck to them!
If I had to say one thing, it was disappointing that there was only one paddleboard available, so I couldn’t try it! One group had taken it over. The hamburger was delicious, and I also enjoyed the potato chips. There were no fruits available.
イルカも海ガメもどちらも間近で見ることができたのでとても感動しました。計3回海にダイブ。海ガメは本当に間近にいてすごすぎです!6匹ぐらいいました。イルカもたくさんいてジャンプも見れました。
私は泳ぐとこが苦手でしたがなんとかなります。(船からのダイブは後ろに待っている人がいるのでプッレシャーで飛び込めました。でもちょっと怖い。海水も飲みまくりでしたが、感動でどうでもよくなりますし勝手に浮いてきます)
朝ホテルに電話を入れてくれて起きているか確認してくれる所もとても親切だなと感じました。しかもその電話の声がさわやかで安心します。
新人のガイドさんが初ガイドということでした、頑張って下さい!
1つ言うならば、パドルサーフィンが1個しかなかったのでできなかったことが残念!1組が占領していました。ハンバーガーも美味しかったですし、ポテトチップスも美味しくいただきました。フルーツはありませんでした。

I participated with a friend. I wanted to see wild dolphins, and I was truly moved not only by the dolphins but also by encountering sea turtles. We offered songs and flowers from the boat, wishing for safety, and then headed straight into the sea. Since we had experience with diving and snorkeling in Japan, we didn't have any particular issues. During the first dive, we only caught a glimpse of the dolphins for a moment, but during the second dive, after moving to a different spot, we were able to see a sea turtle up close, and there were about 15 dolphins swimming in a pod! On the boat, we enjoyed freshly grilled burgers, got dolphin tattoos, and the cheerful crew even danced the hula, making for an incredibly fun time. They also provided free drinking water, which I thought was a great way to prepare for the surprisingly exhausting snorkeling that left us thirsty.
On the way back, the bus had a temporary breakdown and took about an hour to repair before we could set off again. However, thanks to the staff member Mai, who kept us entertained with conversation until we reached our hotel in Honolulu, we managed to get there without too much trouble. I was a bit scared that the bus might break down again along the way, but now it’s a good memory.
This tour became the highlight of my trip. While luck seems to play a part, I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to meet wild dolphins!
友人と二人で参加しました。
野生のイルカを見たい!と思って参加しましたがイルカだけでなくウミガメにも出会えて本当に感動しました。
船上から安全を願って歌と花をささげ早速海へ。私たちはダイビングやシュノーケルを日本でやったことがあったので特に問題なかったです。1回目はほんの一瞬イルカが見えただけでしたが少し場所を移動した2回目はすぐ近くでウミガメを見ることができましたし、イルカも群れで15頭ほどいました♪船上ではその場で焼いたバーガーを食べたり、イルカのタトゥーを貼ってもらったり、そして愉快なクルーがフラを踊ってくれたりとテンション上がりまくりでとっても楽しい時間を過ごせました。自由に飲めるお水も置いてあり意外と体力を消耗し喉も渇くシュノーケルへの対策がなされていると思いました。
帰りのバスが一時故障し1時間ほど修理をし、再出発するというトラブルがありましたが、スタッフのマイさんがホノルルのホテルに着くまで話をして気を紛らわせて下さったお陰でなんとかホテルまで着きました。バスが途中でダメにならないかと怖い思いをしましたが、今となってはいい思い出です。
このツアーは今回の旅の中で一番の思い出になりました。運もあるようですが野生のイルカに会いたいは方にはオススメです‼︎

The morning plan was unfortunate due to the weather. The wind was strong, and the sandbar was only about knee-deep, making it quite cold. I wanted to see turtles, but for some reason, I encountered a manta ray instead. It was so cold that I gave up on diving into the sea. The weather improved in the afternoon...

My fiancé and I went on the Snorkel and Sunset cruise the second week of November. The bus pick-up was extremely easy and allowed for worry-free drinks on the cruise.
The cruise was spectacular. The orientation was clear and made us both feel comfortable. The snorkel spot selected was stunning and quite safe feeling. We saw many tropical fish and even had a ray breeze past! We spotted a humpback whale breaching and so the captain took us on over for a closer look.
The Kalua pork was tasty for dinner and the crew went out of their way to make sure we were all satisfied. We were treated to a beautiful sunset and leisurely cruise back to harbor.

Snorkeling at Angel's Sea's coral reef was amazing because I got to swim with a sea turtle. Before getting on the boat, it was raining and the weather was bad, but it cleared up before we boarded, which was great. Angel's Sea is really shallow and the water is beautiful. However, it was disappointing that there weren't many fish. It's a gentle course for beginners since you can practice snorkeling.
The next coral reef was deeper offshore, which might be a bit intimidating at first, but wearing a life jacket ensures you won't sink, so it's reassuring. Since the sun wasn't shining, it was hard to see the coral from the surface. Once you enter the coral reef, it gets shallower, which increases your sense of security, but be careful not to touch the bottom as it can cause environmental damage. The rule is to swim around the coral reef. There were plenty of fish, and I saw a sea turtle swimming as well, which was really nice. By chance, a sea turtle was right below me, and I was able to swim with it, which was the highlight of the experience.
天使の海のサンゴ礁でのシュノーケリングで、ウミガメと一緒に泳げたので、最高です。
ボートにに乗る前は、雨が降って天気が悪かったのですが、乗る前には天気も回復したので、良かったです。
天使の海は、本当に浅瀬で海はきれいです。ただ、魚がいないので残念でした。
シュノーケリングの練習もできるので、初心者には優しいコースです。
次のサンゴ礁でのシュノーケリングは、、沖合で海底が深く、ちょっと慣れないとしり込みしますが、ライフジャケットを着ていたら、絶対に沈まないので安心です。
日が差していなかったので、サンゴの場所が海面からでは分かりずらかったのです。
サンゴ礁に入ったら、浅くなるので安心感が増すのですが、足を着いたら自然破壊になるので、要注意です。
サンゴ礁の周りを泳ぐのがルール。
魚も沢山いたし、ウミガメも泳いでいましたので、とても良かったです。
偶然に、ウミガメが真下にいて、一緒に泳ぐことができたので、最高でした。

I was finally able to go to the Angel's Sea that I had wanted to visit for a long time, and I saw a lot of fish while snorkeling! The water level at the sandbar was higher than I had imagined, but I understood that it can vary due to different conditions. I was able to go and come back quickly, so I enjoyed plenty of time in Hawaii in the afternoon! The staff were cheerful and interesting people, and even though it was a short time, I had a great time!

There were many exciting attractions, and I had a great time screaming with joy! I opted for the all-you-can-eat plan, but I think it might be better to buy food on-site. The sun was strong, so it might be a good idea to get drinks as well. It wasn't too crowded, probably because it was the day after Veterans Day, so I was satisfied that I could enjoy without waiting in long lines!

I was worried about the weather, but I was able to see the beautiful sea.
However, I was disappointed that the sandbar had water up to my calves, which was not what I expected...
The Japanese female staff member was very cheerful and kind, and she took various shots with the camera, which I really appreciated!
It was my first time snorkeling, but they provided all the necessary equipment and taught me how to use it, so I felt safe diving.
Honestly, I wasn't expecting much from the food, but the hamburgers grilled on the spot were very delicious.
I definitely want to participate again!! Thank you very much!!
I recommend bringing a towel or hoodie, as it gets very cold after coming out of the sea.

This was my first time in Hawaii for our honeymoon. My husband wanted to go snorkeling, so we chose this tour where we could swim with dolphins and enjoy snorkeling as well.
First, we were given flowers and had a touching moment of prayer together as we faced the sea. The main dolphin watching part was a bit intense; as soon as we arrived at the spot, we had to jump into the cold water without any warm-up or getting used to it, which made me a bit worried about having a heart attack! The experience of swimming with dolphins was different from what I imagined; instead of leisurely swimming alongside them, it felt more like a hurried attempt to catch a glimpse of the dolphins swimming below us while snorkeling. Since the dolphins are wild animals, it wasn't the relaxing experience I had hoped for.
The dolphin watching was over in an instant, and since some people didn't get to see them, we had a total of two watching sessions, but it felt like we were only in the water for about five minutes, which honestly left me wanting more. After that, we returned to the boat, but it was quite cold with the sea breeze, making it really uncomfortable until we reached the next snorkeling spot. I highly recommend wearing a thick hoodie and bringing a large towel.
The snorkeling afterward was satisfying because we got to see sea turtles up close, which was different from the main dolphin watching. However, the snorkeling time was relatively short, and it felt like it was over before we knew it. It wasn't a leisurely experience but more of a quick taste of it. After returning to the boat, we had a lunch that was labeled as BBQ, which turned out to be cheeseburgers. I had seen reviews about this beforehand, so I was prepared, but those expecting a BBQ might feel a bit misled. The taste was good, though.
Afterward, we enjoyed dancing the hula and taking photos, which was fun. However, in the covered area at the back, the deck leading to the second floor obstructed the view, and there was a noticeable difference in enthusiasm between the guests in front and those behind. Since we were seated at the back, I think some adjustments could be made for better visibility for everyone.
▼ Points of Concern
- The BBQ was misleading since I had an image of grilled meat; the cheeseburger label could cause confusion.
- Water was leaking from the air conditioning in the shuttle bus, soaking some guests.
- The photo data was quite expensive.
- The small boat made it feel like we had to be considerate of others during the move, and depending on the seat, the stairs blocked the view and sound of staff explanations and dances.
- There were no napkins or tissues provided for wiping hands after eating burgers and chips, which made things a bit difficult and the seats tended to get dirty.
- There was little consideration for those feeling cold or seasick; it would have been nice to have some towels or something prepared.
▼ Positive Aspects
- The moment of throwing flowers during the prayer was romantic.
- We got to see sea turtles up close.
- The music on the boat was lively.
- The temporary tattoo stickers were a nice touch.
For those who have participated in other tours or are of a more mature age, you might notice some issues with the facilities, timing, and service. If this were a monitor tour price, I would be satisfied, but at the regular price, I would like to see a bit more in terms of quality and time allocation.
I may have been a bit critical, but I’m really glad I was able to participate.
ハネムーンで初のハワイでした。旦那さんがシュノーケリングをしたいとの事で、イルカと泳げてシュノーケルも楽しめるこちらのツアーにしました。
まずお花を配られて海に向かって皆でのお祈りの時間は感動しました♪
メインのイルカウォッチングは、イルカがいる地点に着くと「今からすぐ行くよ!」という感じでそれまで一切準備運動や水に触れる事なくイキナリ冷たい海に飛び込まないといけないので、ちょっと心臓発作にならないか心配になりました;
メインのイルカと泳ぐツアーは少し想像と違っていて、イルカと泳ぐというよりはシュノーケルで真下を泳ぐイルカを急いで見る!みたいな少しせわしないものでした笑
イルカは野生で自然の生き物ですから、ゆっくり横で見れる~という感じではないのでもともとの私のイメージが少し期待しすぎたかもしれません^^;
イルカウォッチングは一瞬で終わってしまい、見れない方がいたので合計2回のウォッチングとなりましたが、海にいたのはものの5分程度?と思う程短かったので1回だけでは正直かなり物足りなかった気がします。。
その後船に戻りましたが、海風もあってかなり寒く……。次のシュノーケルの地点まで本当に寒くてツライ位でした;
参加される方はしっかり厚手のパーカと大き目のバスタオルは必須です。
その後のシュノーケリングは、メインのイルカウォッチングと違って海ガメを近くで見ながら泳ぐ事が出来て満足です♪
ただ、こちらもシュノーケルの時間が割と短く、もう終わりか~という感じでした。
ゆっくり楽しんだ!という時間ではなく、ちょっと体験!みたいな時間ですね。
船に戻ってからは、BBQという名のチーズバーガーの昼食時間。
BBQの件は事前に口コミを見ていたので、了承済みですがBBQと思って参加される方は「これだけ?」となると思いますので少し過大表記しすぎかと…。
味はおいしいです。
その後は帰りまでフラを踊ったり、写真を撮ったりと盛り上げてくれるのは楽しかったです。
が、奥の屋根付きの所だと二階へのデッキが邪魔で全然見えず、前の客と後の客の温度差が…笑
こちらも奥の座席だったのでちょっと、もう少し皆がみやすい様に工夫が必要かと思います。
▼気になった点
・BBQは、焼き肉のイメージを持つのでチーズバーガーという表記が誤解がないのでは?
・送迎バスのクーラーから水が漏れていて、お客さんにすごい水掛かっていた
・写真データがあまりに高い
・小ぶりの船で、移動には他の人に気を使う感じだったのと、席によっては階段が邪魔でスタッフの説明やダンスなどが見えない&聞こえない
・ハンバーガーやポテトチップスを食べるが手をふくものやティッシュもなく(数人に配ったら途中でなくなっちゃった、ごめんね~という感じ)ちょっと大変&席が汚れがち
・さむがっている人や酔っている人には特に配慮がない(数枚でもタオルや何か用意していてもいいかな)
▼よかった点
・お祈りの時間で花を投げたのがロマンチック
・海ガメが近くで見れた
・海での音楽で盛り上がった
・タトゥーシールがちょっとうれしい
他のツアーなどに参加された経験のある方や割と大人の年齢の方だと設備面や時間、対応などが少し目につく所があると思います。モニターツアーでの価格なら納得♪ですが、正規の料金だともう少し充実度(時間の幅取り)がほしいかなと思います。
少し辛口でしたが、参加できたことはすごく良かったです。

I participated with my family on October 15, 2015. We've traveled to Oahu several times, but it was difficult to make a reservation, so we finally made it to the sandbar this time. The weather was nice when we departed from Waikiki, but by the time we arrived at Kaneohe Bay, it was pouring rain and very cold, making us worry if we would even reach the sandbar. However, we set sail as planned towards the sandbar. Along the way, the rain stopped, and we even saw sea turtles, which lifted our spirits as we arrived at the sandbar! The water was about knee-deep that day. All participants put on snorkeling gear and swam near the coral reef. Although the visibility wasn't great, we were able to see many fish. I looked up at the sky several times wishing for sunshine, but the staff's enthusiasm was amazing, and the simple sandwiches we had at the end were delicious! Next time, I definitely hope for a sunny day!

オアフ島へ何度か旅行してますが中々予約が取れなくて今回やっとサンドバーに行けました(^^)ワイキキを出発するときはお天気でしたがカネオ湾に到着するときにはなんと土砂降りでとても寒くてサンドバーにたどり着けるのか心配でしたが予定通り出航してサンドバーへ向かいました。途中、雨も上がり海亀さんも顔を題してくれてじょじょにテンションも上がりサンドバーへ到着です!この日はひざ下ぐらいの海水でした。参加者全員でシュノーケルをつけ珊瑚礁の近くを泳ぎました。透明度がありませんでしたが沢山の魚の姿を見ることができました。
何度も晴れていれば~と天を見上げましたが、スタッフの皆さん達の盛り上げ方も最高でしたし最後に頂いたシンプルのサンドイッチも美味しかったです!

I was moved to see the sea turtles. During snorkeling, there were sea turtles, and I was able to swim with them. However, I was a bit disappointed by the long wait times, such as waiting for the boat to depart.
Also, due to the timing, I understand it can't be helped, but I had imagined the sandbar to be a bit shallower; the water level was higher than I expected. The plan included about an hour of snorkeling time, but many participants were tired and got back on the boat after about 30 minutes, so it might be better to have a shorter time in the water.
ウミガメが見られて感動でした。シュノーケリングの際にもウミガメがいて一緒に泳ぐこともできました。ですが、船の出向までの待ち時間など待たされることも多く少し残念でした。
また、時期の問題で仕方ないのですが、サンドバーはもう少し浅いものを想像していたのですが、思っていたよりも水面が高かったです。プランでは1時間程度シュノーケリングの時間が取れられていましたが、参加者の多数派疲れて30分くらいで船に上がっていたので、海に入るための時間は短めでもいいかもしれません。

The sandbar was cold. It seemed like it was a time of year when the beach wasn't really accessible, and I was constantly waist-deep in the sea. It wasn't at all like the small island I had imagined. I should have done proper research.
But!! After going snorkeling, my mood completely changed!
It was so much fun, and I really felt glad that I participated.
The crew was considerate towards families with children, so I recommend it for those with kids as well.

The West Side of the Island is beautiful. Snorkeling was amaaazing, we spotted so many dolphins, turtles and different species of fish. After the tour we had lunch at the Spinners Cafe, the food was very tasty.
I love marine life, especially dolphins, they are incredible animals! I had a lot of fun! This tour was the highlight of my trip.
Mahalo Karol for joining us! It was our pleasure to introduce you to the West Side's wild life. We do hope you come out and see us again!

I recommend it as long as you have at least basic English skills. You can enjoy interactive activities. My husband also had a great time. The bus guide actively communicated while incorporating some Japanese, and I am grateful for that. (Please don't expect high quality food at this kind of tour buffet.)
最低限の英語能力さえあればおススメ。
参加型のアクティビティで楽しめます。夫も楽しんでいました。
バスガイドさん、日本語も交えながら積極的にコミュニケーションしてくださり、
感謝しています。
(こういうツアービュッフェでは料理の質は期待なさらないようにお願いします)

I went on my honeymoon! The price isn't particularly cheap, but I felt more than satisfied and moved by the experience!! The staff were all cheerful and friendly, and the time flew by (≧∇≦). Especially, the Japanese staff member Yuki was very kind and attentive, which was great!!
We took a lot of wonderful photos at the sandbar, creating fantastic memories! The lunch featured hearty burgers, and enjoying it while listening to the captain's live guitar and singing, with a beautiful view of the sea, was exceptional!!
After lunch, we had plenty of time for turtle watching and encountered many sea turtles!! They even threw in some bread for snorkeling, which attracted lots of fish, and I was very satisfied!! If I ever go to Hawaii again, I would definitely want to join this tour!!
ハネムーンで行きました!値段はそんなに安くは無いですが、値段以上の感動や、満足感が得られました!!スタッフのかたもみんな陽気でフレンドリーな方達であっとゆう間でした(≧∇≦)特に日本人スタッフのユキさん?やさしくて、すごく気を使って頂いて良かったです!!
サンドバーでステキな写真をたくさん撮って頂いてすごく良い思い出になりました!
ランチもボリュームたっぷりのハンバーガーで、船長さんの生ギターと歌のBGMを聞きながらステキな海を見ながらランチは格別でした!!
ランチが終わったら、ウミガメウオッチングも沢山時間があり、いっぱいウミガメに出会えました!!シュノーケルもパンを投げ入れてくれて、それに魚達がたくさん寄ってきてくれて大満足でした!!
またハワイに行くことがあったら、是非参加したい
ツアーです!!

The staff were incredibly friendly and it was a lot of fun. The ocean was beautiful, the boat ride was pleasant, and playing beach volleyball was enjoyable. Snorkeling was great too, as I got to see beautiful fish and turtles. But the highlight was definitely seeing six manta rays swimming in a circle—what an amazing experience! Also, the burgers that the captain grilled were incredibly delicious! They might have been the best burgers I've ever had in Hawaii. Next time, I want to go to the sandbar on a clear day. I definitely want to participate again next year.
スタッフのみなさんはすごくフレンドリーで楽しかった。
海はきれいだし、ボートは気持ちいいし、ビーチバレーも楽しかった。
シュノーケルはきれいな魚とカメさんも見られて良かったぁ。
でも一番はマンタが6頭サークルを描いて泳いでるのをみられたことがなにより感動!!
あと、キャプテンが焼いてくれたバーガーがすごーくおいしかった!
ハワイで食べたバーガーで一番おいしかったかもしれない。
今度は快晴のサンドバーに行きたいなぁ。
来年もぜひ参加したいと思います。

At the end of October, I participated in the first tour of the day! It was a day with rain in the forecast, but it only rained briefly like a downpour. It seems that as the rainy season begins, there will be more rainy days ahead.
I thought there might be others who are unsure whether to choose a short morning tour or a longer one, but since I don't have much stamina, the 45-minute snorkeling was just enough for me (laughs).
The guide was Japanese, funny, and provided thorough explanations, making it a well-organized tour. I encountered sea turtles and mantas, making it an amazing tour that I highly recommend.
10月末、朝一番のツアーに参加しました!
雨予報の日でしたが、スコールみたいで一次的にしか降りませんでした。雨季が始まる頃、今後は雨の日が多くなるみたいです。
朝の短時間のツアーか時間の長いツアーで迷われてる方がいらっしゃるかなと思うのですが、私は体力があまりないので45分のシュノーケルで十分でした(笑)
ガイドさんは日本人で面白いし、解説も丁寧できちんとしたツアーです。ウミガメやマンタにも出会えて最高のツアーでオススメです。

I was worried it would be disappointing if it rained at the sandbar, but we were blessed with wonderful weather, and I got to see many sea turtles. The sandwiches for our light meal were delicious, and our guide was fantastic. However, one thing that was a bit disappointing for me was that the sandbar was only knee-deep in seawater, which was different from the image I had seen on TV.
サンドバーまで行って雨だったら残念と思っていましたが
すばらしい天気にめぐまれ海がめにもたくさん合えたし
軽食のサンドイッチも美味しくガイドさんのおもしろさも
最高でしたが1つ自分なりに残念だったのが
サンドバーが海水でひざ下ほどありテレビで見たイメージと違って
いたことです

Tour guide/driver was very good. He presented interesting and important facts about what we were going to see and hear. Kept the group organized as far as time factors. Provided interesting facts about the islands.

Let me start off by saying I NEVER leave reviews...which I need to work on because I am always checking them out before I do/buy things. So, this is my way of giving back.
My boyfriend and I went to Hawaii in the middle of Oct. This was our first trip to Hawaii so we were very excited! You can't go to Hawaii for the first time w/o attending a luau :-) They picked us up from our hotel at 3:30 pm. It was a long drive, took about 45 min. There is an entertainer on the bus to keep everyone awake. Once we got there we were given a mai tai & took a professional photo with a female & male dancer. Before the dinner you can walk around & play games, enjoy the scenery, etc. There were also small shows in between such as a hula lesson, the pig roasting, etc, Once dinner starts you enjoy the rest of the show that is on stage. It is very interactive as they ask for volunteers to come on stage. My favorite part was the fire juggler. The dinner was okay, but there are options for vegetarians & people who do not eat pork. The bar had really good drinks! My boyfriend had the paradise punch & I had the melon colada which was delicious! We did purchase the professional pic that was taken of us, which is a nice memory :-)
Overall, I would recommend especially if this is your first time in Hawaii. We returned to our hotel at about 10 pm, so round trip it is an all night event.
