It seems that it's quite rare, but around 100 dolphins came to visit us. Additionally, three sea turtles also came to see us, and we were able to see one right in front of us. Meeting the dolphins and sea turtles was a wonderful part of the tour, but the crew members were also very enjoyable to be with. We took many photos, which became great memories. If I have the opportunity to go to Hawaii again, I would love to participate once more.
滅多にないことらしいのですが、100頭ほどのイルカ先生が我々のところに会いに来てくれました。また、ウミガメ教授も3頭会いに来てくれ、1頭は目の前で見ることができました。イルカ先生、ウミガメ教授に出会えたこともツアーに参加してよかったことですが、クルーの人たちが非常によく楽しく過ごすことができました。また、多くの写真を撮っていただき、良い記念となりました。ハワイに行く機会があったらまた参加したいと思います。

About an hour by car from Waikiki and about 30 minutes by cruise ship from the harbor, we landed on a truly mysterious sandbar. The shallow area, about 100 meters in diameter, is surrounded by marine blue waters, and the water level is only knee-high, so the kids were able to play safely. We observed tropical fish while snorkeling, and the tour included lunch, which made for a very satisfying experience.
P.S. There was a funny local staff member who had a tattoo of his daughter's name (in kanji!) on his body.
ワイキキから車で1時間、ハーバーからクルーズ船で30分位でしょうか。なんとも不思議なサンドバーに降り立ちました。直径100m程の白い砂の浅瀬はマリンブルーの海の囲まれ、海面も膝の高さ程度ですので、お子様達も安心して遊べていました。シュノーケリングで熱帯魚を観察し、昼食もついて大満足のツアーでした。
P.S. 体に娘さんの名前のタトゥーを入れた(漢字!)、初老の現地スタッフのおじさんが面白かったです。

Honestly, I felt like I could have skipped this experience as my memories of my stay in Hawaii were quite faint.
First, we headed to the sandbar. It was a shallow area with water up to our knees, and there was no beach at all. We stayed there for about an hour, but after taking photos for around 30 minutes, it felt like everyone else was just waiting on their boats.
After that, the lunch burgers took a really long time. Everyone was standing in line, and it took about 20 minutes to distribute the food to everyone after picking it up. I think it was because one staff member was out sick. The taste was good, so it was disappointing. Everyone was expressing their dissatisfaction.
Next, we went to a spot where we saw turtles from the boat and swam around the coral reef, which took about 45 minutes. This part was average.
The biggest disappointment was the absence of the sandbar, which I regretted. Considering my lack of preparation beforehand and the time wasted waiting for food and at the sandbar, along with only about an hour of total swimming time, I can't really recommend this experience. Other tours were more intense but allowed for plenty of swimming, and I had memorable encounters with turtles and dolphins right in front of me.
正直参加しなくてもいいぐらい、ハワイ滞在での記憶が薄かったです。
まず最初に、サンドバーに向かいました。
そこは浅瀬で膝まで海水があり、砂浜は全くありませんでした。
そこに1時間ぐらい滞在しましたが、30分間ぐらいで写真を撮ったら、他の方もボートで待ってる感じでした。
その後昼食のバーガーはすごく時間がかかり全員行列状態で立ったまま並んで、受け取りに行き全員に配り終えるのに最後の方は20分はかかりました。スタッフの方が1人風邪で休みになったため、だと思いますが、
味は良かったので、残念です。みんな不満を言っていました。
次に向かったところでは、亀を船上から見て、サンゴ礁のまわりを泳ぐのですが、ぐるっと一周します。およそ45分ぐらいです。
こちらは普通でした。
目的のサンドバーが無いことが、1番不満で、後悔しました。
自分の事前の勉強不足と、食事にサンドバーにとだらだらと待たされたり、泳いでいる合計時間は1時間ぐらいと考えると、あまりおすすめではありません。
他のツアーでは、ハードでしたが泳ぎまくれ、亀やイルカが目の前まで来てくれ、すごく思い出に残っています。

I think it's great for those who have gotten tired of Waikiki. There are hardly any Japanese people around, so you can truly experience the local vibe. On this day, we were lucky to see four sea turtles. If you have specific places you want to visit or dislike making various stops, it seems that private tours are available, so please inquire with the tour company. Personally, I thought it might have been better to go with a private tour. You wouldn't have to worry about others. There are also many places to see in West Oahu lately, so if you go private, I think they can help you with various consultations. The service is very good.
*No need to worry if you can't swim.
*Pack light.
*Use a waterproof camera.
*Bring cash for tips and lunch, calculated to the minimum.
*Wear your swimsuit.
*Beach sandals are okay. If you have sea shoes, that's best. (Bring your own beach sandals)
I hope this is helpful.
ワイキキに飽きてしまった人には良いと思います。日本人は全くいません。完全なロコを味わえます。この日はラッキーで、ウミガメが4匹もいました。回りたいところがピンポイントで決まっている方や、色々ストップするのが嫌な方など、ワガママツアーにしたい方は貸切もあるそうなので、ツアー会社に問い合わせてみて下さい。個人的には貸切にした方が良かったかな、と思いました。他の方に気を使わなくて済みますしね。西オアフも色々と見るところが最近あるので、貸切であれば、色々と相談に乗ってもらえると思います。対応はとても良いです。
※泳げなくても心配いりません。
※荷物は少なく。
※カメラは防水で。
※現金はチップと昼食代を計算して最小限に。
※水着は着用で参加。
※ビーチサンダルでOK。シーシューズがある方はそれがベスト。(ビーチサンダルは持参)
参考になれば幸いです。
Thank you for the review and advice.
In private, I can go anywhere, not just West Oahu, and I can do anything!
Please feel free to contact me again when you come to Hawaii! There are still many snorkeling spots to explore!

Got to experience sea life in clear water, right off Waikiki, followed by an awesome sail on the catamaran, which we didn't expect.

I had a very fun experience with a Japanese lady and some joke-loving gentlemen who provided explanations during the tour!
They indicated the direction of the turtles based on the clock, with the front of the boat being 12 o'clock. But sometimes they would tell little lies (laughs) like "Dolphins at 5 o'clock! Whales at 3 o'clock! Just kidding!"
I'm not sure if it was just that day, but they appeared in large numbers all around.
After a bit of movement, we enjoyed snorkeling for the first time at the sandbar, surrounded by lots of fish and coral reefs. The light meal afterward was simple, yet it tasted incredibly delicious!
I highly recommend it.
とっても楽しい日本人お姉さま(&ジョーク好きなオジサマ達)が説明添乗していただけました!

この日だけなのか分かりませんが、アッチコッチに大量に現れてくれました。

It seems like it was a very lucky day, as we encountered a pod of dolphins right after departing. We were thrilled to see them jumping on the surface and swimming right below us while we were snorkeling! Since we encountered them early, we had plenty of time with the dolphins. When we moved to another snorkeling spot, we quickly discovered a sea turtle! It came so close that we felt like we could touch it, but there was a rule against touching, so we even yielded the way. The optional photo data sale was $50 for download and $55 for a USB, if I remember correctly. Payment by credit card was possible on the day or during our stay. While the price wasn't cheap, the quality of the hundreds of photos taken by the professional photographer was really high, capturing moments from boarding and the underwater scenery, so it was definitely worth purchasing! It was also fun that the guide and the staff were high-energy and entertaining!
とても運の良い日だったようで、出港してすぐにイルカの群れに遭遇しました。海面でジャンプする姿も、シュノーケリングしている私たちの真下を泳ぐ姿も見ることができて大興奮! 早めに遭遇できたためか、イルカとの時間はたっぷりありました。さらに別のシュノーケリングスポットへと場所を変えたら、これまたすぐに海亀を発見!触れてしまいそうなくらい近くまで来てくれて、でも触ってはいけないルールなので、こちらが道(?)を譲ったほどでした。オプションの写真データ販売は、ダウンロードが$50、USB渡しが$55だったかな? 当日または現地滞在中のクレジットカード払いが可能でした。値段を聞くと安くはありませんが、プロのカメラマンさんが何百枚も撮ってくれた写真は本当にクオリティが高く、乗船時の様子や海中での景色など、本当にたくさんあったので購入して正解でしたよ! ガイドさんを始め、スタッフの方々がハイテンションでおもしろかったのも楽しかったです!!

This was the best tour I've ever experienced! We were picked up at 11:40, which allowed us to schedule activities in the morning as well. Along the way, Leonard took us to buy malasadas before heading to the sandbar.
There were about 20-30 people on two boats, and Leonard distributed snacks while we moved offshore. When we arrived at the sandbar, even though it was offshore, the shallow areas were about knee-deep, allowing us to walk on the sandy bottom. We wandered around the sandbar, took photos, and the view was amazing with the ocean all around us.
After borrowing snorkeling gear and seeing the fish in deeper waters, we returned to the boat. Once we filled up with the buffet, we had free time, and two sea turtles appeared, allowing us to swim alongside them! While it's illegal to touch them, it was an incredible experience to see and swim so close. After that, we borrowed floaties and paddleboards to play around, and we arrived back at the hotel around 5 PM.
The staff were Japanese, so everything went smoothly without any issues.
If there was a downside, it might be that some people get seasick. Overall, it was the best tour in terms of timing and content.

サンドバーに着くと沖合なのに浅いところは膝上くらい?で砂地を歩けました。
サンドバーをウロウロして写真を撮って景色も一面海で最高でした。
海の深いところでシュノーケリングを借りて魚を見た後船に戻ります。
バイキングでお腹が膨れたら自由時間ですが、ウミガメが2匹も現れて一緒に泳ぐことができました!法律で触れませんが、こんな近くで見れて泳げて最高の体験でした。その後浮輪やパドルサーフィンを借りて遊んで5時ごろホテルに到着。

During the snorkeling in the afternoon, I unexpectedly encountered a sea turtle. I was lucky.

Tropical fish gather around the coral, and when you offer them food, they take it from your hand. However, my 10-year-old son seemed to find it more interesting to catch sea slugs.

ふうこ様、この度はご家族で2回目のご参加ありがとうございます。息子さんも去年よりもっと頑張ってくれてとても上手に出来ていましたよ!この日はツアーの後半の最後に亀を見た日ですね。もう少し早く亀を見つけられたら息子さんや旦那様にも亀を見ていただけたのですが、、、ごめんなさいね。きっと来年こそはご家族皆様で亀やウツボのボブちゃんを見ていただける様、さらに頑張ろうと思っておりますので、今後ともよろしくお願い致します。またお会いできるのを楽しみにしております。
本当にありがとうございました。Mahalo!!

Bob and Akima picked us up at 7.25 am outside Hawaiian Prince Hotel, then picked up 2 other groups of 3 making 8 of us. We drove out of Waikiki for around 20 mins with interesting commentary about Hawaii from Akima before reaching our first stop - a beautiful picturesque beach where it"s possible to see dolphins. Akima spoke Japanese so stayed with the 6 Japanese people leaving Bob to me and my friend. Bob told us a lot about the area and if you want to know more about surfing then Bob's your man. We then moved on to a small group of shops where we bought items for our picnic lunch later.
We next went to a Kaneana,(Makua cave) a very old sea cave with many legends attached to it. Bob was a great storyteller telling us about the legend of the shapeshifter shark man of Makua cave. Then you can explore the cave a bit if you dare!
Next we stopped at the stunning Makaha valley which again has a great legend associated with it and looks like scenery from Kong Island or Jurassic Park.
We were really lucky driving to our next spot as Bob spotted a rare Monk Seal basking on the rocks.
A couple more lovely spots then time for our lunch at Ku'ilioloa Heiau, and then the snorkelling at Pokai Bay. First Bob checked our swimming ability then gave us mask,snorkel and fins plus a life vest. Bob is very patient and stays with you all the time gently encouraging you to explore the sealife. I'm not confident snorkelling but felt very safe with Akima and Bob. We saw corals, beautiful colourful fish and 2 sea turtles.
It was a really great day which we would definitely recommend to anyone wishing to see a much less touristy authentic side of Oahu, the scenery is just beautiful and excellent snorkelling. Many thanks to Akima and Bob who made our day special.
Aloha, thank you for your time for review us!
We are happy to hear that you enjoyed our unique tour. West Oahu is very special place, we are glad you experienced this sacred Hawaiian land.

I was very happy to meet both Dolphin Sensei and Professor Turtle. The staff were kind and friendly, making for a wonderful experience. The boat rocked quite a bit, so it was a good decision to take motion sickness medication before going.
イルカ先生にも海がめ教授に出会えてとても良かったです。スタッフの方も親切&フレンドリーで素晴らしい体験をすることができました。
船はけっこう揺れたので酔い止めを飲んで行って正解でした。

Thank you for participating in the dolphin middle school tour. It's a rare occasion to have 100 dolphin teachers come to meet you, so I believe you were very lucky and that your desire to meet them was conveyed (≧∇≦).
