All Reviews for Snorkeling Cruises & Tours

I was impressed by the beautiful sea. I was able to spend more time snorkeling than I had expected, and it was fun. The hamburger was juicy and delicious, so I'm glad I participated. However, I did feel anxious because I was late for the meeting time and had trouble finding the person listed. Well, all's well that ends well.

綺麗な海に感動しました。シュノーケリングも思っていた以上に時間をとってもらえて、楽しかったです。ハンバーガーもジューシーで美味しかったですし、参加してよかったです。ただ、集合時に時間が過ぎていた上になかなか記載されている人を見つけられず、不安にはなりました。まぁ終わりよければすべてよし。

We were blessed with great weather, and thanks to the very cheerful staff, we had a truly enjoyable day. Swimming with wild dolphins and sea turtles felt like a dream come true. They organized various events on the boat to keep us entertained, which was a lot of fun. The hamburgers were also very delicious!

I definitely want to participate again the next time I come to Hawaii! Thank you very much!

お天気にも恵まれ、とても陽気なスタッフの皆さまのお蔭でとっても楽しい一日になりました。
野生のイルカにウミガメと共に泳げて本当に夢のような時間でした。
船の上でも退屈しないよう、いろいろなイベントをしていただきとても楽しかったです。
ハンバーガーもとてもおいしかったです♪

次回ハワイに来る時もまた参加したいと思います！
本当に有難うございました！

This time, I participated in a sandbar tour. On the way to Kaneohe Bay, the bus broke down on the highway, and we had to wait quite a while for another bus to arrive. I understand that such mishaps can happen, but there was no apology offered, and eventually, the guide's expression and attitude clearly showed that they were in a bad mood. It was truly unacceptable.

What surprised me was that they only smiled when talking about tips and then offered an apology. I was just left speechless. I have participated in various tours before, but this was the first time I experienced such behavior and attitude. It was disappointing, especially since it was a wonderful tour.

今回、サンドバーのツアーに参加しました。カネオヘ湾へ向かっている途中、ハイウェイでバスが故障し、べつのバスが来るまでにかなり待ちました。このようなハプニングはあってもしかたがない事とは思いますが、申し訳ないと言う謝罪もなく、しまいにはあからさまに機嫌が悪くなっている表情と態度。本当に有り得ませんでした。
そして、びっくりしたのがチップの話をする時だけ笑顔になり、謝罪をした事です。
ただ呆れるばかりでしたね。
今までも色々なツアーに参加していますが、このような対応や態度をされたのは初めてです。
せっかくの素敵なツアーなのに、残念でした。

That day was a rainy day. We were very cold. So, a weather condition was too bad. A sea was a high water, not clean. We could not meet such a blue sea and white sands. The staffs were kindness and supportive. I don't recommend so much.

This is my second time participating in a tour where you can see dolphins up close! I was thrilled to see the dolphins swimming nearby again. The spam onigiri and cheese for lunch were delicious as well. If you are prone to seasickness, taking motion sickness medication is a must.

イルカを間近で見る事が出来るツアーで2回目の参加です！やはりイルカが近くを泳いでくれて感激でした。お昼のスパムおにぎり、チーズもおいしかったです。
船酔いする方は酔い止め必須です。

We arrived at the yacht harbor in about an hour with the cheerful guidance of a local uncle on the shuttle bus. Since there were many participants, we split into two boats to head to the sandbar. It was just before noon, and the sandbar was shallower than I expected, with the water reaching about waist height. There, we were also able to practice for the upcoming snorkeling. The light snack of hamburgers was delicious. We spotted a sea turtle swimming in the distance, but we couldn't get a good look at it.

After that, we moved to snorkeling. There were many fish swimming near the coral reef. On the way back, it was cold. I recommend borrowing a bath towel from the hotel.

迎えのバスの中では陽気なロコのおじさんのガイドで約１時間ほどでヨットハーバーに着きました。参加人数が多かったので２隻に分かれてサンドバーへ向かいました。時刻がお昼前だったこともあり、サンドバーは思っていたよりも浅くなくおへその位置くらいの深さでした。そこでは次に向かうシュノーケリングの練習もできました。軽食のハンバーガーはおいしかったです。ウミガメは遠くのほうで泳いでいるのが発見されましたが私たちは姿を確認することができませんでした。
場所が変わってシュノーケリング。サンゴ礁の近くには魚がたくさんい泳いでいました。
帰りは寒かったです。ホテルからバスタオル借りていくことをお勧めします。

I participated in an underwater scooter experience with two friends. The ride lasts about 20 minutes, which is plenty of time to enjoy it. I've swum a lot in Hawaii and abroad, but that day had the most beautiful sea. The guide mentioned that the water was clear and warm, making for great conditions. Although it felt a bit chilly due to the wind in November, the water was warm, and we enjoyed the summer sun close to noon. If there's wind, the boat can sway a little, so it might be a good idea to take motion sickness medication before participating. SUP at the sandbar is also fun. You can return to Waikiki by 1 PM, making it a great way to use your morning effectively. Additionally, they take photos underwater and send them via email for $45. The pictures of me playing with the fish and the underwater scooter became wonderful memories. By the way, it's $60 if you want a video included. The equipment is clean, and the staff is friendly, so I highly recommend this company!

友人と3人で水中スクーターをやってみたくて参加しました。
乗っている時間は20分ぐらいですが十分楽しめる時間です。
ハワイや海外でたくさん泳ぎましたが、この日が一番きれいな海でした。
ガイドさんも、濁っていないし、水が暖かいからいいコンディションだと言ってました。
11月という事で風が冷たく感じましたが水は暖かく、お昼近くには常夏の太陽も満喫しました。風があると船も少し揺れるので酔い止めを飲んで参加するといいかもしれないですね。
サンドバーでのSUPも楽しいですよ。
1時にはワイキキに戻れますし、午前中を有効に使うにはおすすめです。
あと、水中で写真を撮影してくれますが、45ドルで写真をメールで送ってくれます。
魚と水中スクーターでたわむれている写真はいい思い出になりました。
ちなみに動画付きだと60ドルです。
装備も清潔ですし、スタッフも親切ですのでこの運営会社はおすすめですよ！

Great time! Very professional staff and amazing experience! Would recommend again!

I was able to fully enjoy the beautiful sea. The staff were fun and friendly, and the hamburgers on the boat were delicious. We were also able to see sea turtles, which excited the kids.

I forgot my sunglasses on the return bus. I don't speak any English, and I was told by the Japanese tour company that lost items would definitely not be returned, which was shocking. However, they delivered them to my hotel, and when I got them back the next day, I was very moved. I am very grateful for the thoughtfulness of everyone at All Hawaii Cruises. Including the sunglasses incident, it became a wonderful memory of my time in Hawaii.

きれいな海を満喫できました。
スタッフの皆さんも楽しくフレンドリーで船の上でのハンバーガーもおいしかったです。
また海ガメもちゃんと見る事ができて、子供は興奮していました。

帰りの専用バスにサングラスを忘れてしまいました。英語は全くダメで、落とし物は絶対帰ってこないと日本のツアー会社の人に言われておりショックでしたが、
ホテルまで届けて頂けており、翌日手元に戻ってきた時には大変感動しました。
オールハワイクルーズの皆さんの心使いに大変感謝しております。
サングラスの件も含め大変いいハワイでの思い出となりました。

I was anxious about my first trip to Hawaii, but the instructors spoke Japanese and, above all, they taught us with great care, making it a fulfilling experience. I definitely want to sign up here again next time.

初めてのハワイで不安でしたが、日本語が話せるイントラクターの方々でしたし、そしてなにより丁寧に教えてくださり、充実した時間となりました。次も是非こちらで申し込みたいと思いました。

In November, the sun can be hidden by clouds and the wind can make it feel chilly, so it's a good idea to bring a larger bath towel. The water is warm. I was impressed by the beautiful blue that stretches endlessly.

During this trip, there were times when the wind and waves were strong, and I couldn't see many fish while snorkeling, but the staff were very accommodating and it was fun to have them play the guitar and sing on the boat.

11月は太陽が雲で隠れて風が吹くと肌寒いので、大きめのバスタオルを持参した方がいいです。海の中は温かいです。どこまでも続く綺麗な青で感激しました。
今回、風と波が強い時間があり、シュノーケルの際、あまり魚を見る事ができませんでしたが、スタッフの方の対応がよく、ギターを弾きながら船の上で唄ってくれたりして楽しかったです。

It was quite difficult to find dolphins, but sitting at the front of the boat and searching for them felt like an attraction, and it was fun! Along the way, we were able to see flying fish gliding about 100 meters horizontally! When we finally found the dolphins and jumped into the sea to swim with them, it was exhilarating! There was also a sea turtle floating right next to us, so we got to swim with the turtle too. I learned a lot about the origins of Oahu and had a really great time!

なかなかイルカが見つからなかったのですが、アトラクション気分で船の先端に座ってのイルカ探しも楽しかったです♩
途中100mくらいを水平に飛ぶトビウオを見ることもできました！
イルカが見つかって、海に飛び込んで、一緒に泳げた時は大興奮！
すぐ側にただようウミガメがいたので、ウミガメとも一緒に泳げました♡
オアフの起源など、色々教えていただき、本当に楽しかったです^ ^

The tour was concerning because the pickup was about 20 minutes late. Once we arrived at the site, we had to wait about 20 minutes to board the boat, but we could take our time with the restrooms and such. The end time for the activity was as scheduled, so perhaps the time allocation was generous...?

Once we boarded the boat, we could see many swimming sea turtles and fish from above, which really boosted our excitement! They also gave us bread, and we could feed the fish while waiting. Water, Lay's chips, and Doritos were all-you-can-eat♪

As for the snorkeling cruise, it was cold until we got in... I had to dive in, and at that moment, it was so cold that I felt like I might have a heart attack... I couldn't take my time because there was a line, and it was panic-inducing, which was the worst. However, once we started, the underwater scenery was beautiful, and they took photos with my camera, creating wonderful memories! I got to touch many fish and even swam with a sea turtle, albeit from a distance♪

However, the waiting time on the boat was long, and by the time we returned, I was pale from seasickness and the cold... It's necessary to have motion sickness medication and, depending on the season, some light warm clothing.

ツアーは、送迎が20分くらい遅れて心配になりました。現地についても20分くらい船に乗るまでひたすら待つ時間がありましたが、トイレ等はゆっくりできました。アクティビティの終了時刻は予定通りだったので、余裕のある時間配分になっているのでしょうか・・・？
舩に乗り込んでからは、泳いでいるウミガメや魚が船の上からもたくさん見えてかなりテンションがあがります！パンもくれて、待っている間餌付けもできました。
水とレイズとドリトスは食べ放題です♪
肝心のシュノーケルクルーズですが、入るまで寒かった。。。一度潜って乗るのですが、その時に寒くて心臓発作を起こしそうでキツかったです。。。後がつまっているのでゆっくりも出来ず、パニックで最悪でした。ただ、乗り始めると海の中はとても綺麗で写真も手持ちのカメラでとってくれて、とてもいい思い出になりました！魚もたくさん触れたし、ウミガメも少し遠くですが一緒に泳げました♪
ただし、船の上での待ち時間も長く船酔いして帰るころには寒いしで青ざめていました。。。酔い止めと、時期によってはちょっとした防寒が必要です。

I participated at my mother's request. I was able to see dolphins and sea turtles up close, and it was very healing. This is one of my fun memories from Hawaii, thank you.

母の希望で参加しました。
イルカとウミガメを間近で見ることができて、癒されました。
ハワイの楽しい思い出の一つです、ありがとうございました。

I could only see the dolphins for a moment. The Japanese guide was quite unique (not very friendly). Considering this content, I wonder if the price is high...

イルカは一瞬はしか見られなかった。日本人ガイドが独特な方でした（親切ではない）
この内容でこの値段は高いかなと…

An amazing experience made possible by an outstanding company. They are professional, attentive and kind. Highly recommend!!!

Pick up from hotel was great! Scooter ride was really fun and you get up close to the fish!

I wanted to go snorkeling in the Angel's Sea, so I booked this tour. When it was time for the pickup, no one came to get me. I was told to call if they didn't arrive after 10 minutes, so I was thinking I should call soon when they finally showed up. It was a large bus, so maybe one reason for the delay was that it couldn't enter the pickup area? Once I got on the bus, it was filled with foreigners. Furthermore, the guide was speaking in English. I thought there would be a Japanese guide?? I felt quite anxious.

However, when it was time to board the boat, we were able to separate into a group of Japanese and another group. On the boat for the Japanese group, there was a Japanese guide, so I felt relieved. Our guide, YUKIKO, was funny, kind, and absolutely amazing. Thank you so much for taking so many pictures!

The sandbar was truly beautiful, like something out of a painting, with a stunning shallow sea spread out before us. I brought a float, but it might not have been necessary here since the water didn't even reach my chest at its deepest. After that, we went further out to snorkel. There were so many fish and the sea was beautiful. For lunch, we had hamburgers. There was also beer available for an extra charge on the boat.

Since it was a boat, the restroom situation was unfortunately what it was. But our guide, YUKIKO, made it enjoyable, and it was a very memorable and fun tour.

天使の海でシュノーケルがしたくて、このツアーを予約。
ピックアップの時間になってもお迎えが来ない。10分経っても来なかったら電話をとなっていたので、そろそろ電話してみないとと思っていたらやっと来た。大型バスだったので、ピックアップ場所に入ることができなかったのも遅れた原因の一つですかね？　バスに乗ると外人ばかり。さらにはガイドさんも英語でしゃべってるぅ。日本語ガイドなはず？？　かなりの不安感。
でも船に乗るときに、日本人のみとそれ以外に分かれて乗船でき、日本人のみの船には日本人のガイドさんもいたのでホッとしました。おもしろくてやさしくてサイコーなガイドのYUKIKOさん。たくさん写真撮ってくれてどうもありがとう。
サンドバーは本当絵のような写真のようなキレイな浅瀬の海が広がっていました。浮き輪持って行ったけど、ここでは必要なかったかも。深くても胸までいかないくらいだったから。その後もっと沖へ行って、シュノーケル。たっくさんのお魚とキレイな海。ランチにはハンバーガーもいただきました。船内ではビールも別料金ではありましたけど飲めました。
船なのでお手洗いが残念なのは仕方ない。。ガイドのYUKIKOさんが楽しませてくれて、とっても思い出に残る楽しいツアーでした。

Based on the experience information, I chose this tour and was very satisfied as well. The sense of security was different compared to when I participated in an English-only tour! I was able to focus on snorkeling. I also appreciated the availability of wetsuit rentals on the day.

体験談情報から、このツアーを選び、同じく大満足でした。
英語のみのツアーに参加した時と安心感が違います！シュノーケルに集中できました。
ウエットスーツの当日貸し対応もありがたかったです。

I was really looking forward to it, but it wasn't as beautiful as I imagined. The staff were very nice.

とても楽しみにしてましたが、イメージと違いそれほどきれいではありませんでした。スタッフのかたはとても感じよかったです

I found it a bit unpleasant to be talked to and pushed while feeling sleepy in the morning, but I was satisfied with the enthusiasm for seeing dolphins and actually getting to see them! It would have been better if there were fewer people, though. It felt quite crowded.

やはり朝寝むいなかの喋りと押されたのはちょっと嫌でしたがイルカを見るための熱意とイルカ見れたがみれたことで満足でした！ただ人数もうちょっと少ないと良かったです。芋洗い状態でした。

Swimming with dolphins has always been my dream, and I was finally able to go to Dolphin University this time!! The weather was perfect, and even though I thought it would be cold in October, I was totally fine without a wetsuit! I was so excited on the bus, and when we finally got to the ocean… right after leaving the port, we saw a huge pod of dolphins＼(^o^)／ Everyone came together to chase the dolphins, searching "toward the mountains, toward the sea." It seemed like almost all the dolphins in Oahu gathered that day, with reports of around 200 dolphins present(^^). Both my husband and I agreed that our honeymoon at Dolphin University was the most fun! However, I do regret not buying the photos(´・ω・`).

イルカと一緒に泳ぐのが夢で、今回念願のイルカ大学に行くことができました!!
当日は快晴で10月に入り寒いかと思ったけれど、ウエットスーツを着なくても全然大丈夫でした！
行きのバスからウキウキで、いざ海に出ると…
港から出てすぐにイルカの大群が＼(^o^)／
皆で一丸となりイルカを追いかけ、「山の方ー、海の方ー」とみんなで探し。
その日はオアフにいるイルカがほとんど集まってくれたみたいで、200頭はいたと言われました(^^)
私も旦那さんも、今回のハネームーンはイルカ大学が一番楽しかった！
ただ、後悔は写真買っとけばよかったー(´・ω・`)

We signed up for this snorkeling cruise as a couple because we heard we could see wild dolphins.

On the bus ride to the boarding location, the tour guide mentioned that they had searched for an hour yesterday before finally spotting dolphins, which made us quite anxious. However, once we got out to sea, we quickly encountered a pod of dolphins, put on our life jackets, and jumped into the water!

Immediately, a large group of dolphins swam right in front of us. We could hear their sounds, and they swirled around us. It was incredible to see wild dolphins, and we realized how lucky our team was.

Onboard, we were served handmade hamburgers while the crew performed a hula dance. Watching the dance while enjoying the burgers was exceptional.

On our way back to the harbor, we also spotted a whale. The spouting was very impressive.

We even got to see the tail fin, which can only be seen when diving deep, making it a truly wonderful experience. I highly recommend participating in this if you go to Hawaii!

この度、野生のイルカが見れるという事から夫婦で
このシュノーケリング・クルーズを申し込み参加致しました。

船に乗る場所まで移動するバスの中で
昨日、1時間探してやっとイルカを見る事ができた。という話をツアーの方がしており、
非常に不安でしたが、いざ海に出てみるとすぐにイルカの群れがいてライフジャケットを装着し
すぐに海へ！

すぐにイルカの大群が目の前を通り、
イルカの声も聞こえ、また自分たちの周りをグルグルしており、
水族館ならまだしも野生のイルカをみる事が出来、
自分たちのチームがすごくラッキーという事がわかりました。

船上で手作りのハンバーガーを貰い、クルーの人たちが踊るフラダンス。
ハンバーガーを頬張りながら見るダンスは格別でした。

また港に帰る途中にクジラも見れました。
潮吹きもすごく迫力がありました。

また海の底に潜る際にしか見れない尾びれも見る事が出来、
非常に良い経験でした。
是h儀ハワイに行く際は、参加をお勧めいたします！！

The crew was great and so was the experience. I would recommend it if you are in the area.

I attended my daughter's wedding in Hawaii and, while looking for a beautiful ocean tour, I discovered the Angel's Sea Sandbar. There were many stunning photos, so I decided to book it.

As expected, the blue ocean and the varying depths created beautiful colors. I was also able to see sea turtles clearly, and snorkeling among the coral reefs was fantastic. The BBQ lunch with grilled patties was very delicious.

Overall, I think the tour was quite good.

ハワイにて娘の結婚式があり、せっかくのハワイきれいな海のツアーを探したところ天使の海　サンドバーを発見とてもきれいな写真とかあり申し込みました。
ほぼ予想通り、青い海と海の深さにより色の違いがありとてもきれいでした。
ウミガメもしっかり見ることができたこと、珊瑚礁の中での素潜りそしてランチのBBQは炭焼きのパテを挟みとてもおいしかったです。
ツアーとしては、かなり良かったと思います。

This was an awesome experience. I had done the shark cage before, but I never thought that I'd be able to swim with the sharks without cage. I was a bit skeptical about the safety, but once I was in the water, I didn't feel threatened at all. It was just a calm and relaxing experience, and the sharks were not interested in humans at all. The sharks we saw were mostly Sandbar Sharks and Galapagos Sharks, and they only eat fish. They were more attracted to the sound/vibration of the boat engine. So the guide instructed us to stay away from the boat, and we stayed together as a group. We only have a group of 5 with 1 guide and 1 photographer in the water, so the experience was very intimate.

I highly recommend this activity to anyone, and really observe the sharks in their environment. Forget about Shark Weeks, Jaws, etc., and go see them with their own eyes so you can cure people's misconception about these beautiful creatures.

At first, the price was somewhat high, and I wasn't very enthusiastic about the activity, but I participated due to my girlfriend's strong insistence. After joining, I was convinced... it was a very enjoyable and good activity. There are additional fees for things like wetsuit rental and photo/video data (optional), but I think the basic content is quite satisfying. Since I brought my own underwater camera, I didn't purchase the photos or video data, but while the price seemed a bit high, they were well taken and definitely better than what an amateur could capture. I couldn't take nice pictures at all (cry). If you have children or are in a large group without an underwater camera, I think it's worth purchasing. They will take pictures of everyone, but they prioritize the buyers for the shooting... As for the dolphins, we saw them for a rather short time, but I think everyone wished to see them a bit longer. We also saw sea turtles swimming, which was a rare experience that you don't get to have often. The staff were amazing! They were all very lively, so if you're not good with that, it might be a bit much, but I truly felt it was worth participating. This is all my personal opinion, but if you have even a little interest, I definitely recommend joining (laugh).

最初はお値段もソコソコするし、そこまで乗り気では無いアクティビティだったのですが彼女のゴリ押しで参加しました。参加して納得…とても楽しく良いアクティビティでした。ウェットスーツレンタルや写真、動画データなどの+αの追加料金(希望制)もあったりしますが基本的には満足出来る内容だと思います。当方は水中カメラ持参でしたので写真や動画データは購入しませんでしたが、お値段は割高な気がしますがキッチリ撮っていてくれていて、やはり素人とは比べ物にならなく納得出来そうな良い物でした。自分は全然綺麗に撮れなかったです(泣) お子様が居るご家族や大人数で水中カメラ持参で無い様でしたら購入価値はかなりあるかと思います。皆、撮って頂けますが一応、購入者優先で撮影してくれますので…。肝心のイルカはかなり短い時間でしたが見れました。もう少し長く見たいと皆様、思われていたと思います。海亀も普通に泳いでいて中々体験出来ない貴重な時間でした。スタッフの方たちも最高でした！皆ノリノリで騒ぐ事もあるので苦手な方は苦手かもしれませんが参加して良かったと心から思いました。全て個人的な意見ですが興味が少しでもありましたら是非参加をオススメします（笑）

On November 2, 2016, I participated with a friend. The weather that day was sunny, although it was a bit windy, the event went ahead as planned.

We had an early start, with the hotel pickup at 5:40 AM, but we managed to wake up. Since we were the last to be picked up, the bus arrived a little late and was almost full. That day, the bus was packed, with about 80% Japanese and 20% foreigners.

From there, the bus drove to the west coast of Oahu. Inside the bus, we signed a simple waiver on the provided iPads and watched a video on snorkeling guidelines. Those who wanted to purchase photos (to be delivered via USB) or rent wetsuits needed to inform the staff at this time.

My friend rented a wetsuit (paying $10 on the spot), while I wore my own short-sleeve rash guard and had rented an underwater camera in Japan beforehand. Other equipment was provided as soon as we arrived at the port. There were various sizes available, so it’s a good idea to choose something that fits well. (Also, don’t forget to take motion sickness medication at this time!)

We boarded the boat, which was also quite crowded. It felt a bit cramped, but considering the focus was on the dolphins, the boat ride felt secondary. Still, the cheerful staff kept the atmosphere lively with dances and performances, making it enjoyable. You can also go up on deck and take a commemorative photo with the captain.

Before long, it was time for the much-anticipated dolphin encounter! We put on our fins and masks and all jumped into the sea together. It’s best to follow the leading staff and look around underwater! I had my camera, so I took a few pictures. There were about 50 dolphins in the pod, but I was only able to spot around 10. I wish I could have seen more!

After about 10-15 minutes, we got back on the boat and headed to the next spot. (Since the time is short, don’t waste it by dawdling!) It seemed like we were trying to chase the dolphins, but due to the current (it was quite windy that day—what a shame!), we had to give up on the dolphins here.

Next, we dove at a spot known for the honu, or sea turtles. I was amazed by the dolphins, but I was especially thrilled to see my first sea turtle (and so close!). My friend was also impressed by the sea turtles! The staff, who understood the turtles' ecology well, shared tips on how to observe them, which made it really enjoyable.

Additionally, there were (simple) stand-up paddleboarding, a water slide, and a trampoline, so I think both kids and adults can have fun with these activities.

The finale included a Hawaiian performance and the captain's special cheeseburger as a farewell!

The staff were very lively, so I felt that some people might not vibe with them. Personally, I had a great time, but my friend seemed a bit less enthusiastic. However, if you view it as part of the cheerful Hawaiian communication, it felt very natural. The staff were all in their twenties, so they were very energetic and good at keeping the mood up.

After arriving at the port, we had some time before the bus arrived, so the staff called out to nearby members and organized an impromptu yoga session! Doing yoga under the warm sun around 11:00 AM felt wonderful. I thought this kind of service spirit was lovely.

Finally, we were dropped off at the hotel, and everything ended smoothly. We arrived around 12:30 PM, so our afternoon schedule went as planned! If I could see more dolphins, I would definitely want to go again!

2016/11/2に、2人で参加してきました。
当日の天気は晴れ。風がやや強かったのですが、予定どおり決行されました。

朝の出発は、ホテルに5:40迎え、とだいぶ早かったのですが、なんとか起床。
迎えの順番が最後だったこともあり、若干時間に遅れて到着したバスは、ほぼ満席状態。
この日は満員で、日本人８割、外国人２割程度でした。

そこからバスはオアフ島西海岸まで、走って行きます。
バスの車内では、配布されるiPadで簡単な誓約書にサインをして、
シュノーケリングの基本ガイドラインのビデオを見ます。
写真購入（USBでの受け渡し）の方、ウェットスーツレンタルの方は、
このタイミングでスタッフの方に申告することになります。

相方はウェットスーツをレンタル（その場で10ドル支払い）。
私は自前のラッシュガード（半袖）で、
水中カメラは事前に日本でレンタルして持ち込みました。
その他の装備は、港に着いてすぐ支給されます。
サイズも結構幅があるので、自分にフィットするものを吟味するのが良いと思います。
（あと、このタイミングで酔い止め薬を飲むのを忘れずに！）

船には、これまた満員キツキツで乗り込みます。
少し手狭な印象でしたが、イルカをメインと考えれば、船上はおまけみたいなものです。
それでも、陽気なスタッフが、ダンスやパフォーマンスで盛り上げてくれるので楽しめます。
デッキに上がって、船長と記念写真を撮ることもできます。

そうこうしていると、待ちに待ったイルカタイム！
フィンやマスクを装着して、皆でぞろぞろと海に飛び込んで行きます。
できるだけ先導のスタッフについて行って、水中をキョロキョロ見まわすのが良いと思います！
私はカメラを持っていたので、数枚パシャり。
50頭ほどの群れだったそうですが、私が確認できたのは、10頭ほどでした。
もう少し、見たかった、、！
10〜15分ほどで、一旦船に上がり、次のポイントへ。
（時間が短いので、モタモタしているともったいないですよ！）
イルカを追いかけようとしていたみたいなのですが、
潮の流れ（当日は風強め。惜しい！）も影響し、イルカはここで断念。

そのあと、ホヌと呼ばれるウミガメのスポットへダイブします。
イルカも感動しましたが、私は初ウミガメ（しかも至近距離！）にことさら感動しました。
相方も、ウミガメ凄かった！と感動していました。
ウミガメの生態をよく理解したスタッフが、観察のコツを教えてくれるので、
しっかりと楽しめました！

その他にも（簡易的な）SUPや水上滑り台、トランポリンなど、
アクティビティーでわちゃわちゃできるので、子どもから大人まで楽しめると思います。

ラストはハワイアンなパフォーマンスと船長特製チーズバーガーで、お別れです！

ノリノリなスタッフたちなので、人によっては合わない方もいるかもな、と感じました。
ちなみに、私はかなり楽しめましたが、相方は少し気乗りしない感じでしたね。
でも、ハワイアンな陽気なコミュニケーションの一環と捉えれば、すごく自然でしたし、
20代のスタッフばかりなので、すごく機動力もあり、盛り上げ上手でもありました。

港に着いてから、バスの到着まで時間があったので、
スタッフが近くにいたメンバーに声を掛け、臨時のヨガタイム！
11:00過ぎの暖かくなった時間帯での太陽の下でのヨガは気持ち良かったです。
こういうサービス精神は素敵だなと思いました。

最後はホテルまで送ってもらって、無事終了。
到着も12:30ぐらいだったので、午後のスケジュールも予定通りスムーズでした！
もっとイルカ見れるなら、ぜひまた行きたいですね！

Absolutely amazing experience to swim with turtles. Crew were outstanding and fab music. A must when you visit Waikiki

It was amazing to see these incredible creatures in their natural environment. I almost can't describe the feeling I felt when we were swimming above them.

The crew was amazing, educated, patient, and most of all incredibly organized they were and genuinely cared about the animals safety and well being. We were observers, not there to disrupt these amazing creatures.

This is one of the classiest tours I have been on and believe me I have been on a lot not only in our country but several others. You need to experience this tour!
