Discover Oahu’s North Shore from Waikiki with The Surf Bus - Snorkel, Kayak, SUP & Waimea Falls
Great day with AC as tour guide
Activity Date: 2015/12/21 | Posted on: 2015/12/23

We had a wonderful day with AC as our guide. He was very knowledgeable, pointing out local sites and giving history along the way. He bent over backwards to accommodate everyone on the tour, taking each group to their favorite locations, running back and forth moving us around from hot spot to hotspot as we each finished our excursions. He was very professional at all times. We would hIghly recommend him as a tour guide. We had a blast! He even went out of his way to go back and find a lost article for us- which fell out of the van at a previous stop.

Enjoying the ocean in Hawaii♪
ハワイの海を満喫♪
Activity Date: 2015/11/24 | Posted on: 2015/12/17

We departed early in the morning and boarded the shuttle bus next to the nearby hotel, listening to explanations from a Japanese female guide for an hour until we arrived at the island's west coast! I was worried about getting motion sickness on the bus and the boat, so I took my medicine early. Changing into my swimsuit at the hotel was definitely the right choice. Also, I was able to rent a wetsuit on-site for $10. Once I was ready, it was time to board. The waves were intense, but the sea breeze felt great, and fortunately, it cleared up despite the rain forecast.

When we reached the spot, the crew immediately had everyone jump in as soon as they spotted dolphins! When I put my face in the water, I saw a huge pod of dolphins!! Although we couldn't get super close, I was thrilled to see wild dolphins swimming in groups. We jumped in about twice, and afterward, we had around 30 minutes of free time for canoeing, stand-up paddleboarding, and snorkeling. While snorkeling, I spotted a sea turtle! It was coming up for air every 20 minutes, and I was able to see it up close, which was very moving.

After that, we had cheeseburgers and chips on the boat. It was incredibly delicious after all the activity. Finally, we all participated in a hula dance. The staff really got everyone excited, and we were able to enjoy ourselves until the end. I think this became the best memory of this trip.

早朝の出発で、近くのホテル横にて送迎バスに乗り込み、日本人の女性ガイドさんの説明を聞きながら1時間、島の西海岸に到着!
バス酔いと船酔いが心配なので早めに薬を飲みました。
ホテルで水着に着替えておいて正解です。
また、ウェットスーツのレンタルはその場で1人$10でできました。
身支度を済ませたらいざ乗船。揺れは凄まじいですが、何より潮風が気持ちよく、雨予報でしたが幸運なことに晴れてきてくれました。
ポイントに着くと、クルーがイルカを発見次第即全員とにかく飛び込み!顔を水中に付けてみるとイルカの大群!!
超接近とまではいきませんでしたが、野生の泳ぐイルカを群れで見ることができ、感激しました。
2度程飛び込みをし、その後はカヌーやスタンドアップパドル、シュノーケルなどで30分程自由時間でした。
シュノーケルをしていたら海亀を発見!しかも20分に1度に水面へ呼吸しに上がってくるタイミングでした。超間近で海亀を見ることができ、とても感動しました。
その後、船の上でチーズバーガーとチップスをいただきました。沢山動いた後だったので、凄く美味しかったです。
最後は皆でフラダンス。スタッフさんが盛り上げて下さり、最後まで楽しむことが出来ました。今回の旅行の一番の思い出になったと思います。

I thought it was understandable that I might not see dolphins since they are wild animals, but I really wanted to see them. However, I was thrilled to encounter a pod of over 50 dolphins! It became a wonderful memory. There were a few regulars who mentioned that they had seen dolphins every time they participated. In the end, all the participants joyfully danced the hula, and some people were so moved that they ended up crying! I want to participate again.

自然相手のものだから、イルカに会えなくても仕方ないとは思って参加したものの、絶対見たいと思っていました。しかし、50匹以上のイルカの群れに会うことが出来て大感激!
とてもいい思い出になりました。常連さんが何組か一緒でしたが毎回イルカには会えていると話してくれました。最後は参加者全員で元気にフラを踊って、感動して泣いちゃっている方々もいらっしゃいました!また参加したいです。

A year after our wedding, we finally made it to Hawaii! And I got to meet dolphins for the first time, which I've always dreamed of!

We woke up early, and I thought I would definitely fall asleep on the bus, but I was too excited about seeing the dolphins to sleep at all. Once we arrived at the ocean and changed, we were ready to go to the spot—let's go!!!

The waves were a bit high today, which made me feel a little blue at first. But after a while, the captain said we could see dolphins, and all my worries disappeared! When we got into the water, there were supposedly only a few, but about ten dolphins came to greet us. I was strangely moved to see dolphins in person for the first time.

I'm so glad I bought an underwater camera—really glad (waiting for the development, haha). After enjoying that experience, we returned to the boat and headed to the snorkeling spot! On the way, we even saw a whale! The crew mentioned that it's rare to see them up close like that. We were super lucky!

When we arrived at the snorkeling spot and got in, unfortunately, the water was really murky, so it wasn't great for snorkeling. I have to deduct one star for that.

We quickly returned to the boat and had a cheeseburger for lunch! The taro buns were amazing—way better than anything from a regular shop!

That wrapped up the tour. I fell asleep on the bus, probably from all the swimming, and when I woke up, we were in Honolulu.

I got to meet dolphins, the cheeseburger was delicious, and the crew was all really nice. I definitely want to join again!

It was such a wonderful honeymoon memory!!!

ハネムーンで1年ぶりのハワイ!そして念願の初めてのイルカ!
朝は早く、バスでは絶対に寝ちゃうと思っていたけどイルカに逢えるワクワクで全然寝れず。。。
海に到着して着替えも済ませていざポイントへLet's Go!!!
今日は少し波が高めなのか、ちょっと気持ちがブルーになりかけちゃいました。
だけどしばらくしたらcaptainからイルカが見えるよの言葉で気持ち悪さも吹っ飛び!
いざ海に入ってみると、数は少ないらしいがちゃんとイルカちゃん達10匹くらい?がお出迎えしてくれました。
初めて生で見たイルカに妙に感動。
水中カメラ買っていって良かった〜、本当に良かった〜(現像待ち笑)
十分に堪能したら船に戻り今度はシュノーケリングスポットへ!その途中でクジラも見れました!クルーも言ってたけど、こんなに近くで見れることなんてないとのこと。めちゃくちゃラッキーでした!
シュノーケリングスポットついて入ってみるととてもじゃないけど水が濁っていてシュノーケリングどころじゃなかったのが残念でした。ここで星ひとつ減点。
早々に船に戻り、昼ごはんにチーズバーガー!タロイモのバンズ、最高でしたー!そこら辺の店よりもはるかに美味しかった!
これでツアーはおしまい。
バスに戻って泳いで疲れたのか即爆睡。気づいた頃にはホノルルでした。
イルカに会えたし、チーズバーガーも美味しいし、クルーはみんないい人だったし是非また参加したいです。
とってもいいハネムーンの思い出です!!!

It takes about an hour to drive from Honolulu. There were about 25 participants in the tour, including a small child around 5 years old.

After about 30 minutes on the boat heading north from the dock, we heard a shout of "There they are!!" and everyone dove into the sea! We got to play with about 30 friendly dolphins, who swam around us in circles, allowing us to enjoy the experience to the fullest. It seems that such encounters are rare, and when they can't be found, the boat returns to the starting point and moves to different locations to dive about six times (according to the staff, it’s a test of stamina).

After the dolphin time, it was time for the turtle experience. We enjoyed snorkeling while learning about the turtles. Those who wanted could also try paddle boarding and kayaking, so I decided to try paddle boarding. I struggled a bit but felt motivated to challenge myself a little more. It was a valuable experience.

When we returned to the boat, it was lunchtime! The staff distributed cheeseburgers and snacks, and we ate while moving back to the dock. After lunch, we had a fun hula dance time with the staff! We were also lucky to spot a whale spouting in the distance during our journey.

ホノルルから車で移動すること約1時間。ツアー参加者は25人程度。5歳くらいの小さなお子さんも参加していました。
船着場から船で北上すること約30分。いたー!!という声で一斉に海へダイブ!30頭ものいるか先生たちが遊んでくれました!とても人懐っこいようでぐるぐると何周も私たちの周りを泳いでくれたので、これでもか!!ってくらい堪能できました。こんなことは稀なようで、なかなか見つからないときは6回位船に戻ってはポイントを移動しつつダイブするそうです(スタッフによると体力勝負とのことでした)。
いるかの時間が終わると、カメ教授の時間です。シュノーケルをしながらカメ教授の時間を堪能しました。希望者はここでパドルボートとカヤックの体験が可能だったため、パドルボートを体験。なかなか成功できず、もう少しチャレンジしたい気もちになりました。貴重な体験ができました。
船に戻るとランチタイムです♪スタッフからチーズバーガーやスナックを配給され、それらを食べながら船着場まで移動しました。ランチタイムが終わるとスタッフとのりのりのフラダンスタイム!!移動中遠くで潮を吹くクジラの姿も見れてラッキーなことが多発でした。

I was very satisfied to swim with dolphins!
イルカと泳げて大満足!
Activity Date: 2015/12/05 | Posted on: 2015/12/13

I enrolled at Dolphin University for the first time this time. I participated in the early morning tour, and I was really worried about whether I could keep my energy up since it started at 6 AM, but there was no need for concern. The tour guide worked hard to boost everyone's spirits and explained the itinerary in detail, so I think first-time participants can join the tour without any worries.

As soon as we arrived at the port and set off, within just about ten minutes, we spotted wild dolphins swimming! It seems that the spinner dolphins are the type that perform rotational jumps at the surface, and while I wasn't sure if I would actually see it, I was lucky enough to witness a live jump.

Additionally, I was able to enter the water and snorkel alongside the dolphins, which was incredibly moving. I think it was a great experience to see the dolphins swimming in a pod up close.

Not only did we interact with dolphins, but we also swam at a spot filled with many fish, and we had the opportunity to paddle and kayak as well. It was a very meaningful time, as we could enjoy multiple activities in one outing.

I definitely want to experience this again when I come back to Hawaii.

 今回初めてイルカ大学に入学しました。
 朝イチのツアーに参加させていただきました。とても朝が早く、6時集合ということでテンション的に保つかどうかすごく心配でしたが、何の心配もいりませんでした。添乗員さんがものすごくみんなのテンションを上げるように働きかけてくれ、さらに今回の流れも細かく説明してくれるので、初めて参加される方も何も心配することなくツアーに参加することができると思います。
 そして港に着きすぐに出発すると、ものの10分少々で野生のイルカたちが泳いでいるではありませんか!ハシナガイルカは水面を回転ジャンプする種類のようで、実際に見ることができるか不確定でしたが、生ジャンプも見ることができました。
 また実際に海の中に入ってシュノーケリングをしながらイルカと並んで泳ぐこともでき、とても感動しました。群れになって泳いでいるイルカたちをものすごい近くで見ることができてとても良い経験になったと思います。
 またイルカだけでなく、魚がたくさんいるポイントまで行って泳いだり、パドリングやカヤックの体験もでき、一度のアクティビティで複数の体験をすることができてとても有意義な時間でした。
 またハワイに来たら、ぜひ体験したいと思います。

Activity Date: 2015/11/24 | Posted on: 2015/12/12

I was able to swim with dolphins and see several sea turtles up close! This is a tour I can recommend! I had heard that it could be a bit cold on the boat, but they provide wetsuits, so it's not a problem.

Just a little… I found it very unpleasant when a male staff member made comments that belittled the female staff (^ ^) The bus ride there was also filled with fun stories! I would love to participate again! Thank you!

イルカと泳げたし海亀も何匹も間近で見ることができました!
オススメできるツアーです!
船の上は少し寒いと聞いていましたが、ウェットスーツを貸して頂けるので問題ないです。

少しだけ…男性スタッフが、女性スタッフをばかにするような発言はとても不快でした(^ ^)
行きのバスも楽しいお話でしたよ!
また参加したいです!
ありがとうございました!

I was very satisfied! First, they gave us a wake-up call at 5 AM, which was kind of them. Since it was cold, they recommended renting a jacket and mentioned to bring the rental fee if we decided to use it. The pickup was at 5:55 AM from a location close to the hotel we stayed at. Bright and cheerful staff welcomed us, which was a relief. On the bus, they explained what was to come, and after arriving, we had a bathroom break because the restrooms on the boat were quite limited. Soon after, we boarded the boat, and the staff introduced themselves. Everyone was cheerful and made us feel excited. We prayed on the boat and threw flowers into the sea.

Once we reached the area where we could see dolphins, everyone jumped into the water, and after three attempts, we finally spotted a pod of dolphins in the distance! They kept getting closer, and there were more than ten of them! They swam right beneath us! Although we couldn't touch them, I was thrilled to see dolphins up close, something I never expected! After swimming with the dolphins, we had free time to enjoy snorkeling or slide down the slide they provided. After that, we had cheeseburgers, potato chips, and cold pineapple, which made me very happy. The staff danced the hula, enhancing the Hawaiian atmosphere, and it was a moment when I truly felt the essence of Hawaii. I would love to go again. The group photo at the end was a luxurious touch. Mahalo♪

満足でした!まず朝5時にモーニングコールをくださいました。親切です。寒いのでジャケットレンタルをオススメされ、もし使用する場合はレンタル料金を持ってきてくださいとのことでした。朝の5:55にわたし達が宿泊したホテルから近い場所でのピックアップです。明るい元気なお姉さん達がまず出迎えてくれ、ホッとしました。バスの中ではこれからの説明などをしてくれ、到着後は船のお手洗いは大変とのことでお手洗いタイムがありました。その後すぐに船にのり、スタッフさんの自己紹介。皆さん明るくてわくわく気分にしてくれます。船の上でおいのりをして海に花を投げました。
イルカが見える場所についてから、みんな一斉に海に飛び込むこと3回目でようやくいるかの群れを遠くに発見!!と思ったらどんどん近づいてきて、
10匹以上はいました!そしてなんと私たちの真下を悠々と泳いでます!触れる距離ではありませんでしたが、イルカをこんなに間近で見ることが出来るだなんて思ってもなかったので興奮してしまいました!イルカと泳いだ後は各自自由にシュノーケルを
楽しんだり、用意してくれた滑り台を滑ったりなどなど。その後はチーズバーガーを食べ、ポテトチップスを食べ、冷たいパインを食べて幸せでした。スタッフさんたちがフラダンスを踊って、ハワイ気分をもっと高めてくれたので、ハワイの実感が湧いた瞬間でした。またいきたいと思います。最後のグループごとで写真撮影も贅沢でした。mahalo♪

This is my second time participating in a wild dolphin snorkeling tour (^O^)
It was my first time with this tour company!
In a word, it was very fulfilling.
Not only did we swim with wild dolphins, but there were also many entertaining performances on the boat that kept us laughing the whole time (人 •͈ᴗ•͈)

We joined the morning tour!
The meeting time was early at 6 AM, but it was reassuring!
First, we received a morning call, which was a nice touch d(゚∀゚d)!
And since it was in perfect Japanese, there was nothing to worry about!
We took a bus for about 45 minutes to our destination ʕ•̫͡•ʔ.
Then we headed to the dolphins' habitat, which took a bit of time ( .. ).
However, the content was packed with activities that kept us entertained ٩( 'ω' )و!
We sang songs together while offering flowers and praying,
and there were explanations on the bus to confirm safety precautions.
Then we started snorkeling with the wild dolphins (^O^).
A dedicated photographer took lots of wonderful pictures for us!
We brought our own waterproof camera, so we didn’t request their service,
but it seems you can get a USB with about 300 photos for $55 if paid in advance, or $60 if ordered later (^^).
After seeing the dolphins, we went snorkeling, and then there were boats and a slide for us to enjoy in the sea (*´罒`*).
We even got to eat hamburgers (♡´艸`).
And on top of that, they performed a hula dance for us!
It was a fun tour filled with laughter from start to finish ( ¨̮ ).
At the end, we took a group photo (^O^).
They send the pictures to your phone, which is a nice service!
If I go snorkeling with dolphins again, I will definitely choose this tour ( ¨̮ ).
*As a note, it can be cold on the boat and in the bus, so be sure to prepare a bath towel and a jacket!
Also, if you get motion sickness, it can ruin everything, so be sure to take motion sickness medication!!

今回で2回目の野生のイルカ
シュノーケリングツアーの参加になります(^O^)
こちらのツアー会社でツアーゎ初めてでした!
一言で言うと、とても内容が濃くて
野生のイルカと泳ぐのはもちろん
船の上でも楽しませてくれる演出が多くあり
ずっと笑いっぱなしのツアーでした(人 •͈ᴗ•͈)

私たちは朝からのツアー参加!
集合は6時と早いです!けれど安心です!
まず、朝からなんとモーニングコールを
していただけちゃいますd(゚∀゚d)ナイス!
しかも日本語ばっちしなので
なんの心配もいりません!
集合バスで出発し〜約45分くらいかけて
目的地まで向かいますʕ•̫͡•ʔ
それからイルカの生息地に向かうのですが
なかなか時間がかかります〜( .. )
けれど、飽きさせない内容盛り沢山٩( 'ω' )و !
海に歌をみんなで歌いたながら
お花を捧げてお祈りをし
再度バスの中でも説明もありますが
注意事項を再度確認して
いざ野生のイルカさんと
シュノーケリング開始(^O^)
専属のカメラマンさんが
素敵な写真をいっぱいとってくださいます〜!
私たちは防水カメラを持参したため
お願いしなかったのですが
前払いで$55、あとからの注文だと$60
で300枚ほどのデータがはいったUSBが頂けるようです(^^)
イルカさんみたあとは
シュノーケリングをして
その時間になんとボートやらすべり台登場w
海で遊べちゃいます(*´罒`*)
さらにハンバーガーも食べれます(♡´艸`)
さらにさらにフラダンス踊ってくださいます!
終始笑いっぱなしの楽しいツアーです( ¨̮ )
最後は集合写真パシャリ(^O^)
これを携帯に写真送ってくれるんです〜
嬉しいサービスですね!
また次回イルカとシュノーケリングをするなら
こちらのツアーにさせていただきます( ¨̮ )
※補足としてほんとボートの上や
バスの中は寒いので
バスタオル、上着はしっかり準備すること!
さらに酔ってしまったら全て
台無しになるので酔い止め必見!!

★My First Time in Hawaii★
★初めてのHawaii★
Activity Date: 2015/11/30 | Posted on: 2015/12/04

This time, I came to Hawaii for the first time. My friend had been here a few times, but since they had never done a dolphin tour, I asked them to join me! I was a bit worried about waking up early the day after arriving in Hawaii, but I made my way to the pickup location with sleepy eyes. After about an hour's drive by bus, we arrived at the harbor on the west coast of Oahu. It’s said to be a surfer's paradise, and the waves were a bit high.

Finally, we set off on the boat! We performed a prayer ritual and sat at the front of the boat, crossing the sea with a refreshing breeze! It felt like we went quite far. About a week before we arrived, the weather had been bad, but the day we participated was absolutely perfect!

I joined on November 30, but I went in without a wetsuit. Well, everyone else was wearing wetsuits or rash guards... haha. However, the water was warm, and as long as I had something to put on after getting out, it wasn't a problem at all!

Finally... we met the dolphins!! I was nervous wondering if we would see them, but we spotted a pod of dolphins from the boat! There were so many wild dolphins. Even when we got into the water, they were really close and incredibly cute! Usually, you might only get to dive once, but we dove twice. Unfortunately, I couldn't spot them the second time, but it became a wonderful memory!

After that, we moved to a different spot by boat. While we were moving to snorkel, we were lucky enough to see a humpback whale!!! It was an unexpected surprise, and I was so excited! There are set distances for how close you can get, but we happened to find it and got to see it really up close, which was lucky (^ ^). There were also lots of sea turtles and plenty of fish!

I didn’t get in the water because I'm not good at snorkeling, but I was still very satisfied! After all the activities were finished, we all had cheeseburgers on the boat to wrap up the day! On the way back, I fell into a deep sleep on the bus (laughs). We were blessed with great weather, and it was so much fun to encounter dolphins, whales, sea turtles, and fish!

今回、わたしは初めてハワイに来ました。
友達は数回目でしたが、イルカツアーは組んだことがないということで、ぜひ参加したい!!とお願いしました。
ハワイ到着の翌日早朝ということで、起きれるか不安がありましたが、寝ぼけ眼のままピックアップ場所へ。
その後バスで走ること1時間ちょっとで、ハーバーに到着。オアフ島の西海岸。
サーファーの聖地だそうで、波はちょっぴり高め。
いざボートで出発!!
お祈りの儀式をしたり、ボートの先頭に座って海を爽快に横断!
だいぶ遠くまで行ったように思います。
私たちが着く一週間ほど前は天候がわるかったみたいですが、私たちが参加した日はお天気抜群‼︎
私は11/30参加ですが、ウェットスーツなしで入りました。まあ私以外はみんなウェットなりラッシュガードを着ていましたが…笑
でも実際海の中は温かく、上がってから羽織るものがあれば特に問題はなかったです!
いよいよ…イルカたちとご対面!!
会えるのかなとドキドキしましたが、ボートの上からイルカの群れを発見‼︎たくさんの野生イルカがいました。海の中に入ってもすごくハッキリ近いところにイルカたちがいて、めちゃくちゃ可愛かった〜!
いつもは一度だけ?なのかもしれませんが、私たちは2回潜りました☆残念ながら、私は2回目は発見出来ずでしたが、とってもいい思い出になりましま!
その後はまたボートで違うポイントへ。
シュノーケルをするために移動中、幸運にもザトウクジラまで見ることが出来ちゃいました!!!それには思いがけないサプライズで大興奮!!
近付ける距離が決まっているそうですが、たまたま偶然見つけたためすっごい近くで見れてラッキーでした(^ ^)
ウミガメもたくさんいて、お魚もいっぱい!
シュノーケルは苦手のため、入水しませんでしたが、それでも大満足でした!!
全部のアクティビティが終了したら、みんなでボートでチーズバーガーを食べて終了!!
帰りのバスは言うまでもなく爆睡(笑)
お天気にも恵まれ、イルカ、クジラ、ウミガメ、魚とたくさん出会えてたのしかったです!!

Dolphins, sea turtles, and various other things♪
イルカ&海ガメ&その他諸々♪
Activity Date: 2015/11/26 | Posted on: 2015/12/03

During our honeymoon trip to Hawaii, we wanted to see wild dolphins and swim with them, so we decided to join this tour!

To sum it up, it was a very satisfying tour♪

We were able to swim with dolphins twice in the ocean, but unfortunately, both times the dolphins swam quite far below us, so we couldn't get as close as we had hoped. However, according to our guide, there are times when they are much smaller and even difficult to spot, so we were quite fortunate to see them clearly (sometimes they come very close to people). Well, since they are wild dolphins and not domesticated, it's all a matter of luck, and being able to enjoy that aspect is one of the charms of the tour.

Additionally, not only dolphins but also snorkeling at the sea turtle spot is included, so even if we weren't lucky with the dolphins, it was still okay! There are points where sea turtles are almost guaranteed to be present, and we were able to swim quite close to them, so much so that we had to avoid touching them (it seems that touching sea turtles in Hawaii can result in a fine)!

While the main focus is on snorkeling with dolphins and sea turtles as mentioned above, there are also other activities such as singing Hawaiian songs and throwing flowers to pray for a safe voyage, watching the crew's wonderful hula, enjoying paddleboarding and kayaking, sliding from the boat, and eating burgers. It's quite a packed tour, and combined with the friendliness and brightness of the crew, it guarantees a very enjoyable experience♪

Finally, to make the most of the tour, here are a few reminders. First, definitely take motion sickness medication. We were fine, but a few people looked unwell (the guide gives quite a bit of explanation about seasickness beforehand, which might have the opposite effect). Also, it's a good idea to bring local currency. They offer paid options on the bus heading to the ocean, such as wetsuit rentals ($5 per person), photo packages (we received about 600 photos of all participants on a USB), and motion sickness wristbands (around $20, effectiveness unknown).

And the most important thing: if you're participating in the morning, make sure to wake up properly! The departure is around 5 AM, so an early wake-up is required.

新婚旅行でハワイに行った際、野生のイルカが見たい、イルカと泳ぎたいと思って参加しました!

結果から言えば、かなり満足のいくツアーでした♪

海に入ってイルカと泳ぐことができたのは2回で、1度目も2度目もイルカが私達のかなり下の方を泳いでいたため、思ったほど近くを泳げなかったのは残念でしたが、ガイドさんの話ではもっと小さくしか見えない時や、そもそも視認することも難しい時もあるようなので、しっかりと見ることのできた私達はかなり恵まれた方だったのかなと思います(時によってはかなり人の近くに寄ってくることもあるみたいです)。まあそのへんは飼いならされているわけではなく、あくまで野生のイルカなので、運次第ということでしょうし、そういった点も含めて楽しむことができるのがツアーの魅力のひとつでもあります。

また、イルカだけでなく、海ガメポイントでもシュノーケリングできるので、万一イルカ運に恵まれなかった場合でも大丈夫!こちらはほぼ確実に海ガメがいるポイントがあるらしく、私達もかなり近くで海ガメと泳ぐことができ、むしろ近すぎて、下手に触らないように避けるぐらいでした(ハワイでは下手に海ガメに触ると罰金をとられるようです)!

そして、あくまでメインとしては上に書いたようなイルカ&海ガメとのシュノーケリングですが、これ以外にも、航海の無事を祈ってハワイの歌を歌って花を投げたり、クルーのフラ(素晴らしい)を見たり、パドルボートやカヤック、ボートからの滑り台で楽しんだり、バーガーを食べたりと結構盛りだくさんのツアーですので、クルーの人のよさというか明るさも相まって、非常に楽しいツアーとなることは請け合いです♪

最後に、ツアーを最大限に楽しむためにも、いくつか注意喚起です。
まず、酔い止めは必ず飲みましょう。私達は大丈夫でしたが、数人は気分が悪そうにしていました(ガイドさんが事前にかなり船酔いに関する説明をするので、それがかえって逆効果になる可能性も)。
そして、一応現地通貨は持って行きましょう。ウェットスーツの有料レンタル(1人5ドル)や、写真(USBでもらえます。私達の時は全参加者のいろいろな写真含めて600枚ぐらいありました)の申込(50ドル程度)、酔い止め用のリストバンド(20ドルぐらい?効果のほどは不明)の販売など、海に向かうバスの中で有料オプションを受け付けています。
そしてこれが一番大切なことですが、朝参加の場合は、きちんと朝起きましょう!朝は5時台出発なので、かなり早起きが要求されます。

Not quite.
いまひとつ
Activity Date: 2015/11/29 | Posted on: 2015/12/02

In conclusion, I personally wasn't very satisfied with the experience. The reasons include that due to the large number of participants, there wasn't enough attention given to each individual. While I wanted to see dolphins, I didn't get to see any sea turtles. There are various other points, but overall, the content felt quite intense, and I think it would be difficult for older participants to join.

This is just my personal opinion, but I don't think I will go again.

結論からすると、個人的にあまり満足いく内容ではありませんでした。
理由は、人数が多い為ひとりひとりに対しての気がまわらない事。イルカをみるたが、別にウミガメはみれてない事。
等々ありますが、内容はかなりハードで年配の方の参加は厳しいように感じました。

本当に個人的な意見ですが、私はもう行かないと思います。

I've never seen so many dolphins!!
見たことない数のイルカたち!!
Activity Date: 2015/11/15 | Posted on: 2015/12/02

We went to Hawaii for our honeymoon. During that time, we enrolled in Dolphin University.

Although it was quite early in the morning, the sister who came to pick us up was very energetic and talked non-stop for about an hour and a half to the port! We tried to sleep on the bus, but we were captivated by her interesting stories, making for a very enjoyable start to our day! However, it was quite cold on the bus... (><)

Once we boarded, we had fun listening to Hawaiian music while searching for dolphins. The beautiful sea and mountains were breathtaking! It seemed we were lucky that day, as we quickly spotted a pod of dolphins. There were about 30 of them, I think? They swam by swiftly, but for me, who had always dreamed of swimming with dolphins, it was a very precious experience.

There were also many turtles, and we thoroughly enjoyed snorkeling! On the way back to the port, we were treated to cheeseburgers, juice, and snacks. I couldn't eat any, but he said it was delicious and finished my portion too.

In the end, we learned a Hawaiian dance and danced together! It became a very fun memory! Thank you very much!

ハネムーンでハワイへ。
その際にイルカ大学へ入学させていただきました。
朝相当早かったのですが、迎えに来たお姉さんはとても元気で、港までの約1時間半、ずっと話続けておられました!バスで寝ようとしていた私達ですが、お姉さんの面白い話に聞き入り、出だしからとても楽しい時間でした!
ただ、バス内は相当寒かったです…(><)
乗船してからは、楽しくハワイの音楽を聞きながらイルカさんを探します。
綺麗な海と山が絶景です‼
この日は運が良かったようで、スグに群れを見付けることができました。
30頭くらいはいたのではないでしょうか?スーっと泳いでいってしまいますが、イルカと泳ぐことが夢であった私にとって、とても貴重な体験をさせていただきました。
カメさんも沢山いて、シュノーケルも存分に楽しめました!
港までの帰り道は、チーズバーガーやジュース、お菓子までいただきました☆私は食べれなかったのですが、彼は美味しいと私の分までたいらげました(^^)
最後はハワイの踊りを教えてもらってみんなで踊りました!
とても楽しい思い出となりました!
ありがとうございました!

野生のイルカウォッチング&ウミガメシュノーケリングクルーズ ジャンボスライダーやSUPも楽しめる!<ランチ付き/ワイキキ&コオリナ送迎/日本語または英語ガイド>
Amazing!
すごい!
Activity Date: 2015/11/13 | Posted on: 2015/11/18

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 was able to meet wild dolphins and sea turtles! ☆
野生のイルカとウミガメに会えました☆
Activity Date: 2015/11/01 | Posted on: 2015/11/16

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‼︎

Luxury Ko Olina Sunset Cruise with Snorkeling, Dinner Buffet & Premium Cocktails - Ocean Joy Cruises
An absolutely wonderful time!
Activity Date: 2015/11/07 | Posted on: 2015/11/15

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.

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!

エキサイティングなアトラクションが沢山あり、ギャーギャー言いながら楽しめました!
食べ放題プランにしましたが、現地で買って食べた方が良いかな?と思います。
陽射しが強くて飲み物はつけても良いかもしれません。
ベテランズデーの次の日だったのかあまり混んでもいなく、そこまで並ばずに遊べて満足です!

Activity Date: 2015/11/04 | Posted on: 2015/11/10
man

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 was able to swim with wild dolphins. It was an early morning tour with mostly shy Japanese participants, but the staff worked hard to keep the energy up, thank you! While meeting the dolphins was important, I think just experiencing the breathtaking beauty of the West Coast, which I rarely get to visit, made the tour worthwhile. By the way, the cheeseburger was delicious; I wanted to say, "I'll have another!"

野生のイルカと泳ぐことができました、朝早いうえに内気な日本人ばかりのツアー、スタッフの方々は頑張って盛り上げてくださいましたありがとうございます、イルカと出会えるのも大切ですがなかなか訪れることのない西海岸の息をのむ美しい景色に出会えただけでツアーに参加した価値があると思います、それにしてもチーズバーガーおいしかったな、”おかわり!と言いたかった。

Dolphin Excursions Hawaii was also great! I had no problems with my pick up and
the boat crew was kind, friendly and helpful, they took many incredible pictures during the tour.

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.

Every time we go to Waikiki, we request to enjoy the slides and the lazy river here. Since my child is still in elementary school, they prefer the pool over the ocean. Both parents and kids can have fun together. I'm sure we'll visit again on our next trip.

毎回、ワイキキに行くときは、ここのスライダーと流れるプールに入りたいとリクエストされます。まだ小学生なので、海よりプールの方が好きです。親子共々楽しめます。きっと次回の旅も行きます。

I went with friends I usually hang out with. It was a really fun attraction where I got to see a different side of my friends in an extraordinary environment. If I had one request, it would be that there are many slides but perhaps due to the limited number of staff, the system is such that the slides open and close every 30 minutes. Not everything is available all the time, so people tend to gather. I was able to ride all the slides I wanted, so I'm satisfied.

いつも遊んでいる友達と一緒に行きました。普段と違う非日常の中で友達の違う一面も見る事ができ、本当に楽しいアトラクションでした。ひとつだけリクエストするとすれば、スライダーの数反対多いのですがスタッフの数が少ないためか30分おきにスライダーがオープンしてはクローズするシステム。全てがいつも利用できる訳ではないので人が集中してしまいます。乗りたかったスライダーは全て乗る事ができたので、満足です。

I'm satisfied with the well-planned tour.
よく練られたツアーで満足です
Activity Date: 2015/10/20 | Posted on: 2015/10/31

We were picked up at 5 AM, and after an 8-hour tour, we arrived at the hotel around 1:30 PM. The program was well-structured, and we had a very fulfilling time. It became a wonderful memory, and I highly recommend it.

First, we were greeted by the bus, where a cheerful Japanese crew member and a beautiful foreign photographer explained the day's itinerary. They also offered us the chance to purchase a USB with photos for $60. It wasn't a hard sell, so you could decline, and since I brought my underwater digital camera, I opted out. However, it seemed that quite a few people ended up purchasing it. Those who bought the USB received a wristband and were prioritized for photos, but the crew also took plenty of pictures of those who didn't buy it, so the USB was filled with photos of other participants. This was a bit embarrassing for those who didn't purchase it, and I wish they would reconsider that practice. By the way, the crew also took photos with my own underwater camera while on the boat. Wet suits are available for rent at $10, and you can get a refund if you don't end up wearing it, which is a nice system. I didn't rent one and just wore a long-sleeve rash guard on top. It was October, but it wasn't cold.

Onboard, the cheerful crew provided great hospitality, allowing everyone to enjoy a fun atmosphere. While cruising, we admired the mountains of West Oahu, spotted rainbows, and found dolphins that jumped in one after another. The water was quite deep and there were waves, but we followed the crew closely and were able to see many dolphins. It was a wonderful experience to see wild dolphins swimming freely in the coral reef waters. There were dozens of dolphins, swimming in groups of 5 to 10, and they came close to us repeatedly.

I felt satisfied when we returned to the boat, but a few people were seasick. I took anti-nausea medication before boarding, but even those who usually don’t get seasick might find it essential. For those prone to seasickness, sitting on the open deck of the boat seems to be a better option. At this time, we were given pineapple.

After that, we enjoyed three hula dance performances (the professional hula dancer was cute and wonderful), and we snorkeled for just under an hour at the turtle spot. We saw three sea turtles and many fish, making it a very enjoyable snorkeling experience. You can also kayak and slide into the sea from the boat. It was a return to childhood fun. Later, we had cheeseburgers (with purple taro buns) and Maui chips while enjoying the fantastic views from the boat. The burger was delicious against the backdrop of the beautiful scenery. Finally, we took a group photo with the crew and all participants, which they sent to us for free via email. By the way, water and lemonade were available for unlimited drinks on the boat.

Perhaps due to the large number of participants, there was no announcement for the hula lesson.

After getting off the boat, we went to the port's restroom (which is spacious and clean), and I recommend changing there quickly.

Overall, the tour was well-structured, and we got to see both dolphins and sea turtles perfectly. It was a highly satisfying experience, and I would love to participate again.

朝5時台にお迎え、ホテルについたのは13時半ごろの8時間長のツアーでしたが、よく練られたプログラム構成で、とても充実した時間でした。素晴らしい思い出となりました。お勧めします。
まず、バスのお迎えがあり、日本人クルーの元気なお姉さんと美人な外国人のカメラマンさんが車中、本日の行程について説明してくれ、写真が入ったUSB(60ドル)を購入するか、案内があります。決して押し売りではないので断ることもできますし、私は水中デジカメを持参したので断りましたが、かなりの人が購入しているようでした。USBを購入する人はリストバンドをもらい、重点的に撮ってもらえるシステムのようですが、購入しない私たちの写真もバシバシ撮っていたので、USBにはほかの参加者の写真が満載です。。これは、特に購入しないものにとっては、恥ずかしいし、やめてほしいと思いました。ちなみに船上では持参の水中デジカメでも、クルー自ら写真を撮ってくれました。ウエットスーツは10ドルでレンタルできますし、借りたけど実際に着なければ返金されるとのことで親切なシステムでした。私は借りずに上のみ長袖ラッシュガードを来ていました。10月でしたが寒くはなかったです。
船上では陽気なクルーがホスピタリティーをもってもてなしてくれ、みんなで楽しい気分で時間を過ごすことができました。クルージングをしながら西オアフの山々を眺め、虹をみつけ、イルカがみつかり、次々に飛び込みます。かなり深いですし、波もありますが、ここは必死でクルーについていき、たくさんのイルカをみることができました。サンゴ礁の海の中で自由に泳いでいる野生のイルカをみるのは、なんとも素敵な体験でした。イルカは数十頭いて、5-10頭で固まって泳いでいて、次々に近くにきました。
満足した気分で船にあがりましたが、何人かが船酔い・波酔いではいてました。私も吐き気止めを飲んで乗船しましたが、普段酔わない人でも、吐き気止めは必須かと思います。また、酔いやすい人は、船の中でもオープンな甲板に座るほうがよさそうです。このタイミングでパイナップルをもらいました。
その後、3曲フラダンスを踊ってくれ(プロのフラダンサーの女の子でかわいくて素敵でした)、ウミガメスポットで1時間弱シュノーケルしました。ウミガメは3匹、魚もたくさんいて、とても楽しいシュノーケルでした。また、カヤックや滑り台(船の上から海にとびこみます)もできます。童心にかえり、遊びました。その後、船上でチーズバーガー(タロイモの紫のパンズ)とマウイチップスを食べました。船上の素晴らしい景色を見ながらのバーガーはとてもおいしかったです。最後にクルーと参加者全員で写真をとり、これはメールで無料で送ってくれます。ちなみに船上では水とレモネードが飲み放題です。
参加者が多かったからか、フラレッスンは案内がありませんでした。
 船からおりたら港のトイレ(ひろくてきれいです)にいきますが、ここでササっと着替えることをお勧めします。
上記の流れになりますが、よく練られた構成で、イルカもウミガメもばっちり見えましたり、大満足のツアーでした。ぜひもう一度参加したいです。

There were plenty of slides, and I was able to enjoy them without waiting in line. Additionally, there was a wave pool and a lazy river where I could relax. I recommend going with family or friends.

スライダーがいっぱいあり、そこまで並ばずに乗れたので楽しめました。
また、波のプールや流れるプールもあり癒しの一時を過ごすことができました。
家族連れや友達みんなで行くことをおすすめします。

It was a very fulfilling day, even though I was exhausted after jumping into the sea five times! I want to go again! Next time, I hope to meet Professor Whale.

5回も海に飛び込んでヘトヘトながらもとっても充実した1日でした!
また行きたいです!

West Coast Explorer - Land Tour & Beach Snorkel (from Ko Olina / Waikiki)
The best way to explore the West Side of the Island!
Posted on: 2015/10/28

I had such a wonderful time!

This was the best way to explore the west side of the island, and we visited so many beautiful spots off the beaten path!

Akima and Robert are really good guides and snorkel instructors. They know a lot about the island and gave us rich information about the history of Hawaii, the legends and marine life. They have maps and pictures to illustrate what they are talking about. They are also professional photographers and took many cool pictures for us, including underwater shots. The vehicle was very clean and comfortable and they were on time for pick up.

My favorite time was the snorkel, I am not a good swimmer but the guides made me feel very comfortable and safe.

I would definitely recommend Hawaii Real Nature to everyone visiting Oahu!
