カタマランはワイキキビーチから出航するため、アクセスがとても便利。
ポイントで停まり、海に入るとすぐ目の前に海亀と魚たちが泳ぎ廻っていました。
シュノーケリングを充分堪能し、ボートに戻ると、水とサンドイッチのサービス。
その後、ワイキキビーチ沖をクルージング。
目の見張るような海の蒼さに大感動。この値段以上の価値のあるツアーでした。
参加する際、泳ぎが苦手な方はライフジャケットを準備する必要があります。備え付けはヌードルだけでした。また、クルージングの際、風を切って走行するのでジャケット持参がお勧めです。

On the last day of my trip to Hawaii, I went for dinner. The location is easy to find, just one street west of the Royal Hawaiian Center. Of course, the food was good, and the wine wasn't too expensive, so I was satisfied.

ハワイ旅行の最後の日のﾃﾞｨｰﾅｰで行きました。場所はﾛｲﾔﾙﾊﾜｲｱﾝｾﾝﾀｰの一本西の道で分かりやすいところです。もちろん食事の内容も良く、ワインもそれ程高くなく、満足しました。

It was an amazing experience and a wonderful memory! From the morning pickup, the Japanese guide was waiting for us, which made us feel at ease. There is a port about a 50-minute drive from Waikiki, and we departed from there by boat! We arrived at the sandbar while seeing many sea turtles. We enjoyed taking photos and snorkeling. Since it is also a bay famous for being a movie filming location, the guide provided various explanations, which made it enjoyable. The sandwich we had on the way back on the boat was delicious too.

とても最高でいい思い出になりました！
朝のお迎えから日本のガイドの方が待っててくださり安心でした。ワイキキから50分位車で走ったところに港がありそこから船で出発！ ウミガメをたくさん見ながらサンドバーに到着。写真撮影、シュノーケリングを楽しみました。映画のロケ地で有名な湾でもあるのでガイドさんが色々説明してくれて楽しめました。帰りの船の上で食べたサンドイッチも美味しかったです。

I checked the tide levels and times in advance to participate in the sandbar, and the water was about knee-deep in shallow areas. The water is clear. The wind was so strong that we couldn't set up the beach ball net on the sandbar. There are several staff members, so it's easy to get someone to take photos for you. On the day I participated, the wind was really strong, making snorkeling difficult, and there weren't many types of fish. Although we had an hour of free time, we couldn't stay in the water for that long. It was September 29, and the water temperature was quite low, so it might be better to wear a wetsuit in the future. The bus ride to and from the location was quite chilly. After snorkeling, there was a boat ride back to shore that took just under 30 minutes, and it was really cold. The men were shivering. Our boat had a cabin in the back, so we went inside to escape the wind, but most people were sitting where they first boarded and were exposed to the wind, so I recommend moving seats on the way back. The staff were cheerful and casually asked if we were okay.

サンドバーは、あらかじめ干潮時の水位と時間を調べて参加したのですが、浅いところで膝下くらいでした。水はキレイです。風が強くてサンドバーではビーチボールのネットがはれない位です。スタッフさんは数名居るので写真撮ってもらうのには困りません。参加日はとにかく風が強くてシュノーケルもやりにくいし、魚はそんなたくさん種類居ません。1時間自由時間ですが、そんな長時間ははいってられませんでした。9/29でしたが水温も結構低いので、この先はウエットスーツを着た方がいいかも。行き帰りのバスは相当冷えます。シュノーケルが終わってから岸まで船移動も30分弱有りますがすごく寒いです。男性もガタガタ震えていました。私たちの船は後方が部屋になっているので、中に入って風をしのぎましたが、大半の方は最初に乗り込んだ所の位置で、風を浴びていましたので、帰りは席移動をお勧めします。スタッフさんは明るくて困ってないか色々気さくに聞いてくれました。

Such an awesome experience! Would definitely do it again!!

I participated in a tour of the prestigious Dolphin University with a friend! I was excited because we were supposed to swim with wild dolphins and turtles!

In the morning, I was a bit anxious because the meeting time was early! But I was relieved that we arrived on time! However, since there were explanations on the bus, I stayed awake and listened seriously to the information!

Although I was feeling a bit dazed on the way, everyone on the boat was cheerful!! The staff were really energetic!!

We were able to meet the dolphins in less than five minutes!! They were so close that I felt like I could reach out and touch them, which was very moving!

At the end, they taught us how to do the hula on the boat, and it was so much fun d(^_^o) It was a very friendly tour with everyone! Just be careful not to play too much, as you'll need to conserve your energy to enjoy it fully! ☻

友達と2人で名門イルカ大学のツアーに参加させてもらいました！
野生のイルカとカメと泳げると言う事だったので楽しみでした！

朝、集合時間が早かったので不安でした！
でも時間通りに行けたので一安心！
ただ行きのバスで説明事項などあるので
向かうバスは寝ずに話を真剣に聞きました！

意識朦朧と向かったのですが、
船の上はみんな和気あいあいでした！！
スタッフさんたちがまず元気！！

イルカさん達には5分もかからず会う事が出来ました！！
手が届いちゃうんじゃないかってとこまで近くにいてとても感動しました！

最後の船上でフラを教えてくれるのですが、とても楽しかったですd(^_^o)
みんなで和気あいあいしたツアーでした！
ただ遊びすぎて体力は温存して挑まないと
辛いと思います！☻

It wasn't nearby, but I was able to see dolphins. There are also plenty of hula and water activities, so I think it's great for when you want to enjoy a variety of things. But what about when you're specifically aiming to see just the dolphins???

近くではありませんでしたがイルカさん見れました
フラやウォーターアクティビティーも充実しているので、いろいろ楽しみたい時にはいいと思います
イルカちゃんだけが狙いの時はどうでしょうか？？？

I had been hesitant because the price was high, but I'm glad I went for it. I was really healed by the service-oriented dolphin and the beautiful staff. The moment of interaction is brief, but I will never forget the unique texture of that dolphin's skin. As someone who gets nervous, I couldn't quite get the timing for the kiss right, but they let me try again, and the photos (for a fee) turned out beautifully. There was a lot of debris (possibly waste?) floating in the pool, so I tried not to think about it too much. It was chilly when my body got wet under the cloudy sky.

値段が高いのでずっと迷っていたが思い切って行ってよかったです。
サービス精神旺盛なイルカちゃんとキレイなお姉さんにとても癒されました。
触れ合えるのは一瞬ですがあのイルカ独特の肌触りは一生忘れません。
ビビりな私はキスのタイミングがうまく合わなかったけどやり直しさせてくれて写真（有料）も綺麗に撮れていました。プールはゴミ（排泄物？）がたくさん浮いていたのでなるべく気にしないようにしました。曇り空で体が濡れると寒かった。

First time doing this and wow! The staff were friendly and fun. Taking a boat ride how can you go wrong, then I was attached to the parachute and Best water view ever! took the dip and to my surprise the water was warm. Ended the vacation on a high note. enjoyed so much all my tropic or island vacation will end on this high note, just higher only went 600 ft. hope the next Captain and crew are as excellent as this Cap and crew.

I participated because I wondered if I could make it in time for low tide according to the schedule. The reviews were very positive, so my expectations might have been too high. The bus left 45 minutes after the meeting time, which made me feel distrustful of the tour due to the "island time" vibe...

The staff were friendly, and the hamburger was tastier than I expected. However, I didn't see the sandy beach as mentioned in the guidebook. The water level was at its lowest, only up to my knees.

Would I recommend it to my friends? Unfortunately, I cannot recommend it.

タイムスケジュールから、干潮の時間に間に合うかな？と思い参加しました。口コミもとても評判が良かったので期待が大きすぎたのかもしれません。バスが集合時間の45分後に出発するなど南国時間過ぎてツアーへの不信感が.....
スタッフの方はフレンドリーでしたし、ハンバーガーも想像より美味しかったです。ただし、ガイドブックにあるような砂浜は見られません。一番水位低くて膝下です。
お友達に薦めるか？と言うと残念ながらオススメはできません。

I participated in the popular Wet 'n Wild! The pickup is at 9:30 AM, so you can take your time in the morning. However, due to traffic, it takes about an hour to arrive at the site by bus. After changing, we quickly visited two pools before it was already noon, and then it was time for the barbecue lunch. I wasn't very hungry, but we headed to lunch. In the afternoon, we experienced the slides and bodyboarding, and before I knew it, it was time to change at 3:00 PM and gather for the bus at 3:30 PM. It all went by so quickly! There are popular and crowded slides, and some slides were on break, so I wish we had a bit more time.

話題のウェットアンドワイルドなので参加してみました！
ピックアップもAM9:30と朝もゆっくりできますが、バスで現地到着まで渋滞も有り約１時間、着替えてAM11:00前、早速2ヵ所プールを回るとAM12:00になりバーベキューランチ…あまりお腹も減ってなかったのすがランチへ、午後はスライダーとボディボード体験などなどでPM3:00に着替えてPM3:30にバスへ集合とあっという間に終わります。人気で混んでるスライダーや休憩中？のスライダーなども有るのでもう少し時間があればとは思います。

We left early in the morning and were able to return to the hotel by mid-morning, which allowed us to go sightseeing afterward.
From the boat, we were able to see not only sea turtles but also manta rays.
My 77-year-old mother and I didn't go snorkeling, but just enjoying the view from the boat was very pleasant.
My husband and the children, who went snorkeling, were satisfied with seeing beautiful fish.
The shuttle bus was very cold, as mentioned in the reviews, but when we asked them to turn off the air conditioning, they did.
The return bus was comfortable.

早朝出発で午前中にホテルに帰ることができたので、その後も観光に出かけることができました。
ボートからウミガメだけでなくマンタも見ることができました。
私と77歳の母はシュノーケリングをしませんでしたが、ボートの上で景色を眺めているだけでも気持ちが良かったです。
シュノーケリングをした夫と子どもたちはキレイな魚を見ることができて満足していました。
迎えのバスは、口コミであったように大変寒かったですが、途中でエアコンを止めて欲しいと頼むと止めてくれました。
帰りのバスは快適でした。

Since it was my first time, I think it was good to see it at least once. The food was average, but it was served quickly. The fire show was the most impressive.

はじめてだったので、一度は見ておいてよかったかたかと思います。
お料理は普通ですが、しまわれるのが早かった。
ファイアーショウが一番見応えがありました。

Okay, I'm hooked! I cannot wait to get back to Oahu, and get on a board again! The day was great in every way. Austin is an amazing instructor, and a cool dude. I felt safe and confident with him, and was surfing in no time. Absolutely awesome!! I also had the privilege of meeting CJ, and Rachel (Turtle Bay shop). Thank you both for all the encouragement and advice with my plans to make Oahu my home in the very near future. Looking forward to seeing all of you again...and, of course, surfing. Mahalo!

Minus the crazy winds that day the ride was great. But, what was even better were the two guys running the boat! SUPER friendly, fun, and good at what they do. We had a great time - again!! Recommend? YES, absolutely!

Amazing & would highly recommend this hike! We were originally scheduled to do the Makapuu Lighthouse Trail as well, but unfortunately they closed the trail a few days before we arrived. We were notified by the tour company in plenty of time & just went on the hike to Diamond Head. We were refunded the difference & everything else went off without a hitch. We were a little confused about the pick up location, but the driver took the time to call us & guide us to the right area. Job well done guys! Mahalo!

The sandbar in Hawaii is definitely a place you want to visit at least once. The weather was cloudy, and although it was March, it was a bit chilly. Once you get in the water, you get used to it, but it felt quite cold when you got back on land.

It should take about 1 hour and 30 minutes by bus from Honolulu, but it took over 2 hours due to delays from picking up other tour guests, which was tough.

That said, I was very satisfied with the tour! Especially during the sea turtle watching, we unexpectedly saw a group of manta rays, which was a surprise! The guide mentioned it was quite rare, and the manta rays appeared before the sea turtles, leaving everyone on the tour looking puzzled.

The hamburger for lunch was also very delicious! 😊

ハワイで一度は行ってみたいであろうサンドバー。当日の天気は曇りで、3月でしたが、やや肌寒かったです。いったん水に浸かれば慣れますが、また陸に上がると結構冷えました。
ホノルルからはバスで1時間30分くらいのはずですが、往路で他のツアー客のピックアップに時間がかかって2時間以上かかったのが辛かったです。。
何はともあれ、ツアーの内容は大満足！特にウミガメウォッチの時に偶然マンタの群れを見ることが出来、ビックリしました！ガイドさんもかなり珍しいと言われていたのですが、ウミガメより先にマンタが登場して、ツアー客はみんな？？って顔をしてましたけど笑

昼食のハンバーガーも大変美味しく頂きました(^^)

The 150m extreme ride was amazing.
Indeed, altitude is important for parasailing!
I had experienced a lower altitude before, but this was on a different level.
The breathtaking view from the highest point is something you can never experience from the ground.
If you are going to try parasailing, definitely choose the 150m option.

高さ150ｍのエクストリームライド最高でした。
やはりパラセイルは高度が大切ですね！
以前にも低い高度のそれを体験したのですが段違いでした。
最高地点からの絶景は決して地上からでは体験できない最高の眺めです。
皆様もパラセイルを体験するなら是非150ｍを選択してください。

The beautiful, clear sea allowed me to see the dolphins swimming right below me! The sea turtle professor swims slowly, so I could see it up close!

綺麗な海で透き通っているので、イルカ先生が泳いでいくのを自分が泳いでいる真下で見ることができました！！
ウミガメ大教授はゆっくり泳いでいるのですごく近くで見れます!

Someone asked me today what my favorite activity was in Hawaii and I told them hands down the Dolphin and Snorkel Catamaran trip was the best and most memorable. We got to see a large pod of Hawaiian Spinner Dolphins and then snorkeling saw some Sea Turtles and many varieties of tropical fish. The wind picked up enough on our way back that the crew put the beautiful sails up and we sailed back .The food and drink were great and the crew were beyond helpful and so much fun. This is the one activity I would be sure to do again when we come back to Oahu!

The park itself is small and rather tired but still great fun; esp. for younger kids. When we went (September) it runs with a skeleton staff and they (frustratingly) don't run all rides, all of the time but instead swap them around and so most rides are closed for half of the time. This causes unnecessary queues and limits the number of turns you can have quite a lot. The transport to and from was poorly organised. It was late going and late coming back (we were asked to be out of the park 15 minutes before it closed and then waited 30 mins for our bus to arrive!). However it was still a fun day, but just could have been better!

If you are a fan of the show, I highly recommend this tour - Zoom & Amy are great tour guides - they "know people who know people"! We got to meet Duke and he was such a down to earth person. Thanks so much for a wonderful day!

If you are a five-0 fan you will enjoy this tour, it is a lot of traveling in cars from one location to the next, but the guides try hard to make it really worth it. We were lucky enough to visite the Aloha stadium and make it to the McGarrett house and there was a special surprise.

The bus arrived late at the meeting point, which made me worried, but it came 8 minutes late. If the road was congested, it can't be helped.
The activity was extremely satisfying. My husband, who was scared, seemed to enjoy it so much that he said he wanted to do it again! It seems that parasailing is available in other places on Oahu, but I'm glad we chose this one where we could enjoy the view of Waikiki. We also had a great time with the other participants.

On the day of the reservation, it was canceled due to rain. We didn't know it was canceled until we called the local office. After the call, I received an email from Veltra. I think it would be reassuring to know in advance who will contact us and how, and by what time before the meeting.

集合場所にバスが来るのが遅かったので、心配していたのですが、8分遅れで来てくれました。道が混んでたなら、仕方ないですね。
アクティビティは大満足の内容でした。怖がっていた旦那さんも、もう一回やりたい！と話すくらい、楽しめた様でした。オアフ島内他の場所でもパラセーリングは
出来る様ですが、ワイキキの街を眺められるこちらを選んで良かったです。また、同乗の方々とも楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。

予約当日は雨で中止となりました。こちらが現地の事務所に電話するまで中止かどうかわかりませんでした。電話してから、veltraさんからメールが来ました。予め、集合何分前までに、誰から、どんな方法で連絡が来るか分かると安心できるとおもいます。

On the morning of the day, unfortunately, it was cloudy. There was a hurricane around Oahu, and it had rained heavily the day before, so I was disappointed. However, when we arrived at the sandbar, I thought, "I'm glad I came!" Although it wasn't clear skies, by midday, the weather turned into a pleasant beach day. As expected of Hawaii. The guide mentioned, "If it hadn't rained the day before, it would have been even more beautiful," but I was more than satisfied with the experience. I want to go again on a sunny day. The crew members were all friendly and made me feel at ease.

当日朝は、あいにくの曇り空。オアフ島周辺にハリケーンがあり、前日も大雨で今回は残念‥と思っていました。
しかし、サンドバーに着いた時には「来て良かった！」と思うことができました。快晴では無かったのですが、昼近くになるとカラッとした海日和となりました。さすがハワイ。
ガイドのお姉さんは「前日の雨がなければ、もっと綺麗だよ。」とおっしゃったのですが、十分満足出来る内容でした。次は快晴の日に行きたいです。
クルーの方は皆さん気さくで安心感がありました。

Parasailing was incredibly fun. The staff responded to my limited English conversation, and communicating with other foreign guests, even in broken phrases, was enjoyable. My son said it was the most fun he had on this trip.

However, I was a bit surprised by the local disbandment. It would be perfect if there was support for the return trip. Best of luck to you.

パラセーリング、すっげー楽しい
スタッフの方もつたない英会話に反応してくれましたし、
外国のお客様方とコミュニケーションも片言ですが楽しい
息子も今回の旅行で一番楽しかったと言っています

ただ現地解散というのがちっとびっくりしました。
帰りのフォローあれば完璧です。
ご健闘よろしくお願いします。

This was my second time snorkeling, and even though I'm not good at swimming, I was able to enjoy the tour thanks to Dan and Chieko, who paid careful attention to everyone. They also lent us rescue vests, which made it easy to float while swimming, so I highly recommend this tour for those who aren't very confident in their swimming skills. Additionally, I was thrilled to encounter a sea turtle. I think it would have been difficult to see one on my own. Dan also took photos during the tour with a high-performance camera, and he uploaded them on the same day after the tour, allowing us to download them for free. So, I recommend this tour even for those who don't have an underwater camera.

シュノーケルは２回目、水泳は苦手、という私でも、DanさんChiekoさんが皆に丁寧に目を配ってくださったこともあり、ツアーを楽しむことができました。
レスキューベストも貸してくださり楽に浮いた状態で泳げるので、水泳があまり得意でない方にはぜひこのツアーをお勧めしたいです。
また、ウミガメに遭うこともでき感激でした。
自力ではウミガメに遭うことは難しかったと思います。
また、Danさんが高性能のカメラでツアー中写真を撮ってくださっており、ツアー終了後その日のうちに写真をアップしてくれ、無料でダウンロードすることができます。
なので、水中カメラがない人にもお勧めです。

So first of all, you are up in the air for only 5-7 minutes, however the excursion is about 1-1.5 hours long. You take a few boats out to your final destination before you go up, which is from the boat.

The views from off the shore of Hawaii Kai are stunning. Waikiki views just don't company because it is all built up.

We had a great time and the staff were really awesome and entertaining too.

What a site to see, I loved every bit of this activity.

I was to scared to go but my friends and family had a great time. The staff was super friendly and understanding.
