All Reviews for Snorkeling Cruises & Tours

I was lucky to meet a sea turtle that brings good fortune and even got to take some photos!

On the way back, there were some issues with the boat, but the staff's response was great. Keep up the good work, positive Yukiko!

幸運を運ぶウミガメに会え、写真も撮れラッキー♪

帰りは船のトラブルもあったけど、スタッフの対応の良さ、そしてポジティブユキコちゃんこれからも頑張ってね。

It was super fun to see dolphins up close and swimming right in front of me. I was also able to see the dolphins jump. The turtles' relaxed nature made me feel a sense of calm that resonated with me.

イルカが間近に見れたり、目の前を泳いだりしてチョー楽しい。イルカのジャンプも見ることができました。カメののんびりさには自分と同じものを感じて癒されました。

My friend & I had the pleasure of this tour on 6th August 2012
Would recommend to anyone ..
Friendliest staff I have ever dealt with !!!
Clean comfortable boat !!!
Made our trip to Hawaii a fantastic experience
Thanks guys :)

Ko Olina is a gorgeous area, very picturesque with manicured grounds and on the early morning tour it's just lovely to drive through here with the sun shining. First thing I was really impressed with was the Catamaran, it's very large and luxurious, I couldn't wait to get aboard! They make you take your shoes off before boarding and they store them for you until you return, you can tell this keeps the vessel from wear and tear... it was lovely inside.
Seeing the Dolphins was amazing - they do get close, the boat wasn't moving and they would come quite close to us, we didn't have to follow them. A few were jumping out of the water less than 100 yards away, such a great experience.
The staff were polite, knowledgeable and helpful - they would offer to grab you a drink - you didn't have to ask, which was really nice for a change. On the first snorkeling outing, we all had to wear life vests. I'm a pretty confident swimmer but this was nice, I could actually really relax and enjoy the

The sandbar, having such a shallow sandy beach in the ocean... it felt so nice. The hamburger I had on the boat was also delicious. Both the sea turtle watching and snorkeling were fun; it felt like swimming inside an aquarium. I definitely want to participate again when I go to Hawaii.

サンドバー、海の中にこんな浅瀬の砂浜があるなんて・・・とっても気持ち良かったです。船の中で食べたハンバーガーも美味しかったです。海亀ウオッチングもシュノーケリングも楽しかったです、まるで水族館の中に入って泳いでいる感覚です。またハワイに行く時はぜひ参加したいです。

I've been to Hawaii many times, but I hesitated about the sandbar because I heard it can be heavily influenced by the weather. However, I always thought I should try it someday, so I decided to give it a shot. I wanted to make sure I could walk on the sandbar, so I chose a day when the tide would be close to zero during low tide. After that, it was up to the weather, but on the day of the trip, we were blessed with clear skies and encountered stunning views. The staff even said, "Today is super lucky!" The contrast between the white sandbar and the deep blue water was striking and beautiful. Walking in the middle of the ocean felt truly surreal. The staff acted as our photographer, giving us poses to strike, and we were able to take wonderful family photos.

After that, it was snorkeling time, and my husband and daughter participated. I took some time to explore the sandbar before returning to the boat to watch the snorkeling. It seemed quite deep, but they had a lot of fun seeing many fish. They mentioned that they would have liked a bit more time. The morning tour has a shorter duration, so that's understandable. We enjoyed our sandwiches and drinks leisurely, and there was no wasted time, which made us very satisfied. The staff were always energetic and kept the atmosphere lively. They promptly pointed out where the sea turtles were, so we were able to see quite a few. Everything was packed into a short amount of time, and both my husband and daughter were extremely happy. They even thanked me, saying, "Thanks, Mom!" I definitely want to participate again next time.

ハワイには何度も行っていますが、サンドバーは天候にかなり左右される…と聞いていたので躊躇していました。でも、いつかは…と思っていたので初挑戦。天候は仕方ないとしてもサンドバーはしっかり歩きたいと思い、干潮時の潮位が０に近い時間帯に当たる日を選びました。後は天候次第でしたが、当日は本当に晴天で、素晴らしい景色に出合えました。スタッフの方も今日は超ラッキーですよ~と！白いサンドバーから深いブルーへのコントラストもはっきりとしていて見事でした。海の真ん中を歩いてるのは本当に不思議な気分。スタッフの方がカメラマンをして下さり、ポーズも指示して頂いて、素敵な家族写真が撮れました。その後シュノーケリングタイムで、主人と娘が参加。私はしばしサンドバーを散策？して船に戻り、シュノーケリングを見学。かなり深かったようですが、魚もたくさん見られて楽しかったそうです。本人たちは、もう少し時間が長くてもいいかなぁと。午前中のコースはツアー自体の時間が短いので仕方ありませんね。サンドウィッチと飲み物をゆっくり頂いて、無駄な時間がなく、とても満足でした。スタッフの方は常に元気で盛り上げてくれました。海がめのいる場所も即座に教えて下さるので、結構見る事が出来ました。短い時間の中で凝縮されていて、主人も娘も大満足。ママありがとう~と感謝されてしまいました。次回もまた是非参加したいと思います。

At this age, even though I don't regularly go swimming or to the gym to train my body, I wanted to meet wild dolphins and let my family see these beautiful dolphins, so I participated. Thanks to the quick thinking of the dolphin staff, who provided guidance and support for my 4-year-old twins, the two boys had a wonderful experience together in the ocean. This time, we moved quickly to catch up with the dolphins, and everyone worked hard to make sure we could meet them without giving up. As a result, we were also able to see the Hawaiian sacred site Makua, which was truly moving.

この歳になって、普段スイミングにジムにと通う、スポーツに体を鍛えてる訳でもないのに　
だだ野生のイルカに会いたくて　家族に美しいイルカさんたちに会わせてやりたくて　参加。
イルカ女史の機転でスタッフに指示して下さって、4才の双子をしっかり、サポートして海原に一緒についてくださったおかげで、二人の4才男の子たちは　素晴らしい体験をしました。
今回はスピードの移動で　イルカさんたちに追いつくため、諦めず、なんとかみんなに会わせ様とがんばってくれました。
おかげで、ハワイアンの聖地マクアも観れて　感動でしたよ。

This is our second time participating as a family, and we had a great time. At the sandbar, the timing of low tide doesn't always align perfectly, so the water level can reach up to our knees. Standing there and looking around gives you a strange feeling as if you're in the middle of the ocean. If you have small children, not being able to snorkel might reduce the fun a bit. Turtles can be seen everywhere. I wish it were a bit cheaper for the kids...

今回家族で2回目の参加ですがとても楽しめました。
サンドバーではなかなかうまいタイミングで干潮にならないのでひざぐらいまでは海面があります。
あそこにたって周りを見渡すと海の真中にいるので不思議な感じになります。
小さいお子さんがいるとシュノーケルができないと楽しさが半減するかもしれません。
亀はいたるところで見れます。子どもがもう少し安いをいいのですが・・・。

I had high expectations after reading other people's comments, but Jin was not there (>_<) Well, that's fine, but...
There was another young man, but he probably struggles with Japanese and Japanese people. He completely avoided eye contact with the Japanese group and ignored us when we tried to hand him fins and goggles.
A woman explained things in English and then in broken Japanese, but it was just a few words, about 10% of the time spent on English. So I felt a bit uneasy.
- I did see dolphins. They were cute.
- The food was delicious.

I had some communication issues with the tour office this time and had to make phone calls, but I couldn't understand much because they spoke too fast. I asked them to speak slowly, but... I was somewhat confident in my English conversation skills, but I'm particularly bad on the phone...

I dislike being around only Japanese people and have often participated in tours that are mainly in English, but if you want to swim and dive, which involves some risks, and want to receive sufficient explanations,
and if you think you might have trouble negotiating in English in case of issues or inconveniences,
then perhaps it would have been better to apply for a tour that is mainly for Japanese people or run by Japanese or Japanese-owned companies, even among Alan1's tours.

ほかの方のコメントを見ていて、期待していたんですが、ジン君はいませんでした(>_<)まぁそれはいいんですが・・・。
べつの青年がいましたが、彼は多分、日本語＆日本人が苦手なのでしょう、日本人グループには、絶対目を合わさなくてスルー、フィンやゴーグルも渡すときスルーされるんです。
女性の方が英語に続き、かたことの日本語で説明してくれましたが、ほんの一言、英語の10％くらいの時間です。だから少し不安でした。
・イルカは見れました。かわいかったです。
・食事は美味しかったです。

今回このツアーのオフィスと連絡の行き違いなどで電話したりしましたが、早口でほとんど聞きとれませんでした。ゆっくりお願いしますと言いましたが・・・。そこそこ英会話には自信あったんですが、電話だと特にダメですね・・・

日本人ばかりは嫌、色んな国の人と触れ合いたい、と英語メインのツアーによく参加してきましたが、
・泳いだり潜ったり、多少の危険が伴い、また充分な説明を受けたい
・トラブルや不都合なことがあった場合、英語で交渉できない
・・・と思われる場合は、alan1さんのツアーの中でも、
日本人＆日本語メインの、または日系や日本人が経営、主催のツアーに申し込んだほうが良かったのかな、
と思いました。

I had seen it on TV, but experiencing it in person is completely different. It's hard to put into words, but the mystery of nature is truly moving and amazing. You absolutely must experience it at least once. I hope that nature remains just as it is forever.

テレビなんかではみていたんですが、実際　体験すると全然違います。言葉では自然の神秘とでもいいますか感動で最高で、とにかく是非一度は体験してみて下さい。
あの自然は永遠にあのままであってほしいです。

I am very grateful for the cheerful shuttle driver and the young crew staff, as their service was extremely satisfying. The charcoal-grilled hamburger was absolutely delicious. I also spoke with other families, and everyone was truly enjoying themselves, all saying, "I'm so glad we participated in this tour!!!" I will definitely join again next time. Thank you very much to all the staff.

　送迎担当の陽気なおじさんから始まり、クル―の若いスタッフの対応まで、非常に満足のいく内容で感謝しております。
　また、炭火焼のハンバーガーは最高においしかったです。
　他のご家族の方達ともお話をしましたが、本当に皆さん楽しんでおられて、皆さんともに「このツアーに参加してよかった~！！！」と言っていました。
　次回もまた参加させていただきます。
　スタッフの皆さま、本当にありがとうございました。

I went to Hawaii to see wild dolphins! I was so moved when I found the dolphins that I almost cried from happiness (*^_^*).

When observing the dolphins from the water, the staff guided us with instructions like "Look ahead!" and "Look to the left!" so I was able to see the dolphins clearly. Moreover, since the dolphins passed by quickly, they took us to the next spot to see them again, and we were able to see dolphins a total of four times!!

The staff were very accommodating, and we were laughing the whole time, which helped minimize seasickness. What made me happiest was seeing the staff share in the joy when we spotted the dolphins.

野生のイルカが見たくてハワイに行きました！
イルカを見つけた時は感動で涙が出るくらい嬉しかったです(*^_^*)

海の中からイルカを観察する時は、スタッフさんが「前見て~！！」「左見て~！」と指示してくださったので、しっかりとイルカが見れました☆
しかも、イルカが早く通り過ぎたのでもう一度見よう！と次のスポットまで案内してくださり、なんと、合計４回もイルカを見ることができました！！

スタッフの方の対応もよく、終始笑いっぱなしで、船酔いも少なくて済みました♪何よりもイルカが見えた時に、一緒にスタッフさんも喜んでいたのがとても見ていて嬉しくなりました。

We participated as a family of four (with a 3rd-grade daughter and a 2nd-year middle school son) because our kids love animals.

First of all, when it comes to "swimming with dolphins," the expectations can be too high, so it's better to understand it as "watching dolphins swim from underwater" to enhance satisfaction. That said, the dolphins are wild animals, and it seems even the Hawaiian staff have a tough time spotting them while cruising. When we finally found them, everyone cheered, and the kids got really excited.

After that, we jumped into the sea, but the dolphins didn't swim as close as we hoped. Some people got to see them, while others didn't. The staff's service and the cruising location were good, but there was a certain laid-back Hawaiian vibe. Since we are dealing with nature, some preparation is necessary.

1) It was a sunny day with little wind, but even adults felt the cold in the open ocean. We dressed the kids in wet material rash guards and tops, but they didn't keep warm enough, and we had to escape to the boat midway. You can rent wetsuits on board for $5, so please don’t hesitate to get one for your child. This way, they can stay in the water comfortably and enjoy it slowly. The snorkeling with the sea turtle teacher is also not in the reef, so the same applies.

2) Since snorkeling is in the open ocean and not in the reef, there are risks with depth and waves. This can be a panic factor for children, so it’s better to have them experience at least basic snorkeling in calmer waters first.

3) Depending on the situation, you might get splashed by waves on the deck during the cruise. You can store your belongings under the bench, but since there are no doors, put towels and changes of clothes in plastic bags. If the bags get blown away and drift in the waves, sea turtles might mistake them for jellyfish. Please handle them with care.

4) The harbor only has a restroom, so you will change there. It’s spacious by American standards, but still limited. In our family, we changed from rash guards to T-shirts and put on hoodies while keeping our swimsuits on the bus. Since we were all Japanese, the air conditioning wasn't too strong, but please consider warmth for the return trip (and make sure to use the restroom).

*Based on the above comments, I rated the interest and fun as ☆☆. However, I believe satisfaction would increase with prior understanding and preparation. This tour is mainly for watching from the boat.

家族4人(娘小3&中2)、子どもが動物好きなので参加しました。
まずは｢イルカと泳ぐ｣というと期待値が高過ぎるので、｢イルカが泳ぐ姿を水中から眺める｣と理解するほうが満足度が得られます。
とはいえ相手は野生のイルカ。クルージングしながら探すのはハワイアンのスタッフでも大変なようです。やっと見つけた際には一同歓声が上がり、子ども達も盛り上がりました。
その後にドボン！ドボン！と海に入るのですが、イルカは思うように近くを回遊しません。見られた人、見られなかった人、それぞれです。
スタッフのサービス精神やクルージングのロケーションはよいのですが、なんというかハワイ流のアバウトさを感じました。特に相手は自然の海なので事前準備は必要です。

その１）晴天で風もあまりないクルーズでしたが、外洋の水中では大人でも冷たさを感じました。子どもにはウエット素材のラッシュガード＆タッパーを着せてましたが、体側の保温効果がなく途中で船上エスケイプしました。
乗船後に借りられますので、$5を惜しまずお子さまにウエットスーツを着せてあげてください。水中でストレスなく滞在でき、ゆっくり楽しめると思います。ウミガメ先生のシュノーケリングもリーフ内ではないので同様です。

その２）リーフではない外洋でのシュノーケリングなので、深さ＆波のリスクがあります。子どもにとってはパニック要因になりますので、最低限、海水浴程度のシュノーケリングを経験させたほうがベターです。

その３）状況によるのでしょうが、クルージング中もデッキで舳から波を被ります。手荷物はベンチ下のスペースに入れますが、扉がないのでタオルや着替えはポリ袋に入れましょう。ポリ袋が飛ばされるて波間に漂うとウミガメがクラゲと誤食してしまいます。扱いには注意してください。

その４）ハーバーにはトイレがあるだけなので、着替えはそこでします。アメリカンサイズなので広さはありますが、それなりです。わが家ではラッシュガードだけＴシャツに着替えパーカーをはおり、水着のままバスに乗りました。日本人だけなので冷房はきつくありませんでしたが、帰り用の保温も考えてください。（トイレも済ませて）

※上記コメントから<興味深さ･面白さ>は☆x2にしましたが、事前に理解＆準備していれば満足度は上がると思います。船上ウォッチングだけのツアー

It was a very valuable experience, and I really enjoyed it!

とっても貴重な経験で、本当に楽しかったです！！

We participated in a tour with lunch as a family. The air conditioning in the car was quite strong. We were divided into a cruiser and a smaller boat, and we were on the smaller boat. While it may not have been as stylish, it was nice to be surrounded by families with small children, creating a homely atmosphere.

We saw plenty of sea turtles, and at the sandbar, the staff helped with taking photos and even got everyone involved in beach volleyball. The snorkeling lasted about 30 to 40 minutes, and they constantly reminded us from the boat to be careful as "the coral can cut your feet."

The BBQ hamburger for lunch was exceptionally delicious, and we appreciated the prompt drink service as soon as we boarded, as well as the warm drinks after snorkeling (it was quite windy and cold that day).

While it does depend on the weather, I think it's worth going at least once.

ランチ付のツアーに家族で参加しました。
行きの車中はクーラーがかなりきいてました。
船はクルザーと小さめのボートに分かれて乗りましたが私たちは小さめの船でした。かっこよさでは劣りますが家族連ればかりで小さなお子さんたちもいてアットホームな感じでこちらで良かったと思いました。
ウミガメもたくさん見れたし、サンドバーではスタッフの方が撮影に協力してくれたりビーチバレーをして盛り上げてくれました。シュノーケリングは３０~４０分ほどあり「珊瑚の上は足が切れるので気をつけてくださ~い」と常に船上から声かけしてくれてました。
ランチのBBQハンバーガーは絶妙に美味しく乗船してすぐにドリンクのサービスやシュノーケリング後の温かいドリンク（この日は風が強く寒かった）の心遣いも嬉しかったです。
お天気に左右されますが１度は行ってみても良いと思います。

It was truly a fun time meeting dolphins and sea turtles! I'm really glad I participated!

イルカやウミガメと出会え、本当に楽しい時間でした！
参加して本当に良かったです♪

Initially, we had signed up for a different tour, but we changed to this one at my husband's request to try kayaking. Since this was our first time on this type of tour, I can't make comparisons, but in the end, we were extremely satisfied!

We were part of the early morning group, so I started with worries about whether I could wake up and if I would be physically okay for snorkeling after ten years (I used to love it when I was younger). However, there was a morning call, and once we participated, everything turned out fine! We had three chances to encounter wild dolphins, and during one of those, we got really close. Unfortunately, we could only see sea turtles from the boat, but some people were able to swim right next to them.

The staff were all cheerful and kind, and they were very supportive of the children who couldn't get in the water. My child was thrilled to feed tropical fish and to see dolphins and sea turtles from the boat. They said they want to swim with them next time, so they plan to practice swimming and join again. When we go to Hawaii next time, we definitely want to "enroll" in this experience!

*If you have your own snorkeling set, I recommend bringing it. It's easier to adjust the size. Larger fins are also better. The rental gear is small, so it can be difficult for those who lack strength to move forward.
*If you're not confident in your swimming, make sure to communicate that and swim close to the lead staff. That way, you're more likely to see dolphins.
*Please avoid splashing around in the water! I wish there had been a more thorough briefing about this on the boat.

Next time, I definitely want to get close to the turtles!

最初は違うツアーに申し込んでいたのですが、カヤックが
やってみたいという夫のリクエストでこちらへ変更。
この手のツアーは初めてなので比較はできませんが、結果的に大大満足でよかったです！

早朝グループだったので、起きられるのかどうかという不安から始まり、１０年ぶりのシュノーケリングが体力的に大丈夫なのかなど心配事ばかりでした。（若いころは好きでよくやってたんですけどね）
でも、朝はモーニングコールもありますし、いざ参加しちゃえばなんとかなります、なりました！
野生のイルカとエンカウントのチャンスは３回あり、そのうちの１回ですぐ近くまで行けました。あいにく海亀は船上から見るだけでしたが、すぐそばに行って泳げた方もいました。
スタッフは皆さん明るく優しく、海に入れなかった子どもへのフォローも温かでした。子どもは熱帯魚にパンをあげられたこと、舟の上からイルカと海亀に会えたことがとても嬉しかったそうです。今度は海の中で一緒に泳ぎたい、だから泳ぎを頑張って、また参加したいとのことです。
次にハワイに行くときは、ぜひ『学士入学』したいです。

※もしもご自分のシュノーケルセットを持っているなら、それを持っていくことをオススメします。サイズ調整とかやっぱり楽なので。フィンも大きいほうがいいです。レンタルギアは小型なので、力のない方は進みにくいです。
※泳ぎに自信がない方は、ちゃんとアピールして先頭スタッフの近くで泳ぎましょう。そのほうがイルカに会いやすいです。
※バチャバチャと水面をたたいて泳ぐのは絶対やめて~~！！お願い！！！　このことは、船上でもっとしっかりレクチャーをしておいていただけたらありがたかったな。

次は絶対亀さんの近くに行きたいです。

I participated in a tour that included lunch. I was able to enjoy beautiful views of the sandbar, turtle watching, and snorkeling. During snorkeling, I saw many fish, and my son was thrilled to encounter a turtle. The lunch consisted of freshly grilled hamburgers, which I found delicious. The staff was friendly, and we had a great time.

ランチ付きのツアーに参加しました。
美しいサンドバーの風景やウミガメウオッチング、シュノーケリングなどを満喫できました。シュノーケリングの際は魚もたくさん見ることが出来、息子はウミガメにも出会えたと喜んでおりました。ランチは焼きたてのハンバーガーで香ばしく、私的にはおいしかったです。スタッフも気さくで大変楽しい時を過ごすことが出来ました。

Positives of this tour are it's location right outside the Outrigger Reef, the water was warm and saw quite a few turtles dolphins and fish, and overall good value for money.
The staff were just ok, nothing special. No commentary on anything except a few minutes on the rules and how to snorkel. The big negative for us was how uncomfortable the ride was on the catamaran for almost the entire time on the boat. We wanted to sit on the bench seats provided, but was told we would have to all sit on or around the netting area to help balance the boat. For my wife and I this became extremely uncomfortable after a short while, with no cushions or anything like that provided to make it somewhat comfortable. It ruined the cruise for us. Next time we will book a tour on a bigger boat that provides seating for it's guests.

It was very beautiful and fun.
The food was quite delicious as well.
Anyway, be prepared to get sunburned!! No matter how much you apply, you'll still get burned.
Women were wearing T-shirts over their swimsuits. He had peeling skin from sunburn on his shoulders.
A waterproof camera is handy. They take one photo for you on the tour. I think it was around 20 dollars?

　とってもきれいで、楽しかったです。
　ご飯もなかなかおいしかったです。
とにかく日焼け覚悟で！！どんなに塗ってもやけます。
女性は、水着の上にTシャツきてました。彼は肩の日焼けで皮がむけていました。
防水カメラあると便利です。ツアーで写真１枚はとってくれます。確か２０ドルくらい？だったかな。

The sandbar that forms in the ocean was indeed beautiful. When the boat arrived at the sandbar, we first had a photo session, and the staff were very cooperative in taking pictures. This lasted about 20 minutes.

After that, we went snorkeling, but this time was less than five minutes. My child's mask didn't fit well, and I was a bit late to start, so we ended up finishing in just 2-3 minutes! This was far too short. I've done a lot of snorkeling before, but I've never experienced such a brief session.

To make matters worse, on the way back, the staff jokingly mentioned that tips would be appreciated. From my perspective, I thought we had already paid for the experience, including tips.

One reason for the short snorkeling time might be the delay with the pickup vehicle. In fact, the pickup car didn't arrive until about 15 minutes after the scheduled time. I wondered if someone was running late. Just as I was thinking of calling, the car arrived, but no one was inside. It seemed like it was just delayed. After about five minutes of riding, we were made to switch to another bus, which was eerily quiet. As I walked down the aisle to find an open seat at the back, someone said, "How long are you going to make us wait?!"

We had been waiting for 10 minutes before the scheduled time, yet it felt like we were the ones who were late. Now that I think about it, the bus was parked far away when we switched, which seemed like an attempt to hide the fact that they were late.

The ocean was mystical and beautiful, but honestly, I cannot recommend this experience. I'm sorry.

海の中にできる島サンドバー。確かに美しかったです。
ボートがサンドバーに到着すると、まず撮影タイム。スタッフの方も撮影に協力してくれます。そんな時間が20分ほど。
そしてそのあとシュノーケル。この時間なんと５分足らず。
子供のマスクがうまく調節できず、ちょっと出遅れた私は、2~3分で終了！！これはあまりにもひどすぎました。今までシュノーケルを散々してきましたが、こんな短時間は初めてです。
おまけに帰りは、スタッフが冗談ぽくではありますが、チップをいただければなんて。こちらから言わせれば、チップも込みで参加費払ってるんではっと思いました。
なんでこんなにシュノーケルが短いのか、原因の一つは送迎の車のせいかも？？
実はお迎えの車、集合時間１５分ぐらいすぎてもお迎えの車が来なかったんです。どこかで遅刻した人がいるのかな~。電話しようかな~とその時、車が来たのですが誰も乗っておらず。ただ単に遅れたたけのようです。５分ほど乗ったあと、別のバスに乗り換えさせられたのですが、そのなかはシーンとしており、一番後ろの開いている席に行こうとバスの通路を歩いていたら、「いつまでまたせんだよ」と言われ！！！
私たちは、集合時間の10分前から待っていたのに私たちが遅刻した雰囲気。そういえば乗り換える時も、バスから離れたところに止め。今考えると遅刻したのを隠すため？と思うような行動でした。
海は神秘的で美しかったですが、正直お勧めできません。
ごめんなさい。

I went on a trip to Hawaii from July 12 to July 17. One of the main events was participating in a snorkeling tour with dolphins. The pickup was at 5:50 AM, which was tough, but I was very satisfied as I got to see a pod of dolphins. While they weren't right in front of me, I was still quite pleased. The hula experience was also enjoyable and satisfying.

7/12~7/17の期間でハワイ旅行へ行ってきました。その中のメインイベントとしてイルカとシュノーケリングのツアーに参加しました。
ピックアップが5：50と早朝だったので大変でしたが、イルカの群れはバッチシ見れて大変満足でした。
目の前にイルカが！というほどではありませんでしたが、十分満足できました。
フラ体験も楽しく満足でした。

The weather was unfortunately bad on the day, so the photos turned out disappointing, but the staff's service was attentive and I had a great time! On the way to the sandbar, we moved slowly and were able to see sea turtles! The lunch we had on the boat was also very delicious, and above all, the staff were amazing!

当日はあいにくの天気でしたので、
写真は残念な感じでしたが、スタッフさんの対応が丁寧でとても楽しかったです！
サンドバーに向かう途中にゆっくり進み、海ガメを見ることもできました！
船で食べたランチもとてもおいしく、何よりスタッフさんが最高でした！

Unfortunately, it rained all day, it was cold, and the sandbar didn't appear, so I felt like I just did some snorkeling and went back. Due to my lack of experience, I rated it three stars. However, there was one interesting staff member who worked hard to keep things lively, so I didn't get bored on the boat. I can imagine it would have been fun if it had been sunny, warm, and the sandbar had appeared.

不運な事に終日雨が降っており、寒く、サンドバーも現れず、
シュノーケルだけやって帰ったという感じでしたので、
体験不足により評価不能という事で星三つにしてます。
ただ、面白いスタッフが一人いて、一生懸命盛り上げてくれたおかげでボートの中で飽きる事はありませんでした。
晴れてて、暖かく、サンドバーが現れていたら楽しかったんだろうなぁ、とは想像します。

I was worried about whether I would be able to see the beautiful sandbar due to the cloudy weather, but by the time we arrived at the sandbar, the weather had cleared up! The sensation of stepping barefoot on the mysterious beach that appeared in the middle of the ocean was amazing! This tour focuses on experiencing the sandbar, so getting to that location is a priority. It was fun to see sea turtles and take photos along the way, but if I had to say something, I think the meals could be a bit more substantial. For example, having lunch on the sandbar would be great... (there may be regulations, though...), having just one sandwich on the boat feels a bit lacking. I'm looking forward to it!

あいにくの曇りの天候できれいなサンドバーに会えるか心配でしたが，サンドバーに到着するころには天候も回復！海のど真ん中に現れた不思議な砂浜を素足で踏みしめる感覚は最高でした！このツアーはサンドバーを体験することがメインなのでその場所に行くことを重視しています．途中ウミガメを見たり写真撮影は楽しかったですが，しいて言えば食事がもう少し充実していると良いと思います．例えばサンドバーの上でランチとか・・（規制があるのかもしれませんが・・），船上でサンドイッチ１枚はちょっとさびしいです．期待しています！

Staff was excellent!! Todd, Larry and ALL staff were extremely helpful & courteous. Highly recommend doing the Snuba, well worth the extra $. Larry got my wife and daughter-in-law underwater in a short time. Both were very hesitant at first and I had asked that they only try. The whole gig was GREAT!

This was my first trip to Hawaii since elementary school, and I thought, "I definitely want to swim with dolphins," so I decided to participate.

We gathered at a little after 6 AM, which made for an early wake-up call, but since we were able to make good use of our time after returning to Honolulu in the afternoon, I think it turned out well.

First, we went to Leonard's Bakery to eat malasadas. The warm malasadas were very delicious. They were like a donut without the filling.

I felt a bit seasick while heading out on the boat, but I was able to encounter dolphins safely. I was hoping to swim with them for a while, but wild dolphins move very quickly, and it felt like just a brief moment.

After arriving at the offshore point, it took some time to spot the dolphins, so we had to wait on the boat for a long time, which was tough on my seasick body.

I think it's best to bring motion sickness medication if you can!

After that, we also encountered sea turtles. I was really surprised to be able to swim so close to them and realized they weren't afraid of humans at all.

Although my encounter with the dolphins felt like just a fleeting moment, I was truly satisfied to swim with many dolphins and baby dolphins.

As others have mentioned in their reviews, the local staff were very cheerful and bright, and they had plenty of activities to entertain the participants, which really lifted my spirits.

I highly recommend this tour!

　
　小学生の時以来のハワイ旅行で、「ぜひイルカと泳いでみたいな。」と思い参加しました。

　朝は、６時すぎに集合するので、早起きはちょっと大変でしたが、午後ホノルルに戻ってからも時間が有効に使えたので、結果的には良かったかなと思います。

　まずは、レナーズベーカリーのマラサダを食べにお店に行きます。あたたかいマラサダはとても美味しかったです。
　あんドーナツの餡が入っていないようなものでした。

　船で沖に向かうのに若干船酔いをしてしまいましたが、イルカには無事に出遭うことができました。
「しばらく一緒に泳げるのかな」と期待していたのですが、自然のイルカは動きがとても速く、ほんの一瞬のことだったように思います。
　
　沖のポイントに着いてからも、イルカを探し当てるのに時間がかかるため、船上での待機の時間が長く、船酔い気味の体には堪えました。

　できたら酔い止めを持参した方が良いと思います！

　その後、ウミガメにも出遭えました。
　本当にそばで泳ぐことができ、「人間を恐れていないんだなー」とビックリしました。

　イルカとの出会いはほんの一瞬の出来事だったように思いますが、沢山のイルカと赤ちゃんイルカと泳ぐことができ、本当に大満足です。

　他の口コミで皆さん書かれているように、現地のスタッフの方もとても陽気で明るく、参加者を楽しませる企画が盛りだくさんで、元気をもらうことができました。

　オススメのツアーです！

Although we could see dolphins from the boat, they didn't appear much during snorkeling, which made me feel that swimming with wild dolphins really depends on luck. Since it was summer vacation, there were more than 30 participants. I thought it was a bit too crowded. As for those who are prone to seasickness, including myself, it seemed that no one got seasick even on a fairly rocky boat, possibly because they had taken medication.

船からはイルカがみえるのに、シュノーケリングのときには
なかなか現れないので野生のイルカと泳ぐのは運のなかとつくづく感じた。
夏休みということもあり、参加者が30人以上いた。
ちょっと詰めすぎではないかな
酔いやすい人は、わたしを含め薬を服用していたのか、かなり揺れる船でも酔っている人は、一人もいなかった。

I participated in this for the first time in Hawaii with a friend. I was really moved! I was worried because they mentioned beforehand that we might not see any wild dolphins, but I was able to meet more dolphins than I expected. It was such a great experience to swim so close to wild dolphins and turtles. My dream came true, and I was very satisfied. I could see the dolphins jumping up close, and I swam so near to the turtles that I was worried I might touch them.

The tropical fish were also very beautiful, and I took a lot of photos. It was lovely to release plumeria flowers into the sea from the boat while making a wish.

Leonard's malasadas and the cheeseburger I had on the boat were both delicious, and the staff were cheerful and fun. The ukulele and hula were great too. The scenery was wonderful, and I felt like I received a lot of positive energy.

It was tough to wake up early, but it was definitely worth it to join this tour. It became my most enjoyable memory of this trip to Hawaii.

I definitely want to participate again.

Thank you so very much!

初めてのハワイで友人と参加しました。
すごく感動しました！野生のイルカなので会えないこともあると事前にお話があり心配でしたが、予想以上にたくさんのイルカたちと会うことができました。あんな近くで野生のイルカや亀と泳げるなんて、とても良い経験ができました。夢が叶い大満足です。イルカのジャンプもまじかで見ることができ、亀も触ってしまうのではと心配になるくらいの近くで一緒に泳ぐことができました。

熱帯魚たちもとてもキレイで写真をたくさん撮りました。
プルメリアの花を船から海へお祈りしながら流すのも素敵でした。

レナーズのマラサダも、船の上で食べたチーズバーガーもとてもおいしくスタッフさん達も陽気で楽しいし、ウクレレやフラも良かったです。
また景色も素晴らしくたくさんのパワーをもらうことができたと思います。

朝が早くて大変ですが、早起きしてでも行く価値があるツアーでした。今回のハワイ滞在で一番楽しい思い出になりました。

必ずまた参加したいです。

本当に本当にありがとうございました。

On my first trip to Hawaii, I joined my friends. Waking up early was a bit challenging, but it was definitely worth it!

The first stop was Leonard's for malasadas, and even though it was early in the morning, there was a line, so it was clear it was a popular spot. The taste was, of course, delicious.

I heard on the bus to the harbor that we might not see wild dolphins, which made me a little anxious...

After arriving at the harbor, we boarded the boat and had a romantic experience of releasing a song and plumeria flowers into the sea to wish for a safe journey. It took about 30 minutes to reach the area where the dolphins were. (Make sure to take motion sickness medication.)

I was surprised that the captain and guide could tell where the dolphins were just by looking at the surface of the water.

We decided on a spot and headed into the sea! The water was, of course, beautiful! (It was the best sea I visited during my stay in Hawaii!) When the guide signaled, I peered into the seabed and was able to see many dolphins. While enjoying snorkeling, I spotted a dolphin swimming towards the surface, so I quickly waited at the surface and was able to see a dolphin jump up close. I was so excited that not only did I see the dolphins, but I also got to swim very close to a sea turtle, worrying that I might touch it!

We moved to another location where I could snorkel with beautiful tropical fish and sea turtles, and I was able to take many photos as memories.

After snorkeling, the snacks, cheeseburgers, and juice we had on the boat were exceptional. On the way back to the harbor, we enjoyed the guide's ukulele performance, live singing, and learned hula dancing, which made for a fun time.

One disappointing thing was that we couldn't kayak or stand-up paddle due to strong winds. Considering safety, it was understandable, so I look forward to trying it next time.

This trip became my most enjoyable memory during my stay in Hawaii. I will definitely participate again the next time I go to Hawaii.

Thank you so much to the captain and guide!

初めてのハワイ旅行、友人と参加しました。朝早いのは少し大変でしたが、早起きして絶対損はありません！！
まずはじめに立ち寄ったレナーズのマラサダは早朝にも関わらず行列ができていたので人気店なのはすぐにわかりました。味はもちろんおいしかったです。

港に着くまでのバスの中で野生のイルカなので会えないこともあると聞いたので少し不安になりましが・・・。

港到着後船に乗り込み、旅の安全を願ってうたとプルメイヤの花を海へ流すというロマンチックな体験もできました。約３０分でイルカ先生たちのいる場所へ。（酔い止めは必ず飲んだ方がいいです。）

船長さん、ガイドさんは水面を見ているだけでイルカのいる場所がわかるのにはびっくりしました。

スポットを決めいざ海へ！！海はもちろん綺麗です！（ハワイ滞在中の行った海で一番！！）ガイドさんの合図で海底を覗くとたくさんのイルカ先生たちに会うことができました。シュノーケルを楽しんでいるとイルカ先生が海面に向かって泳いでいるのを発見したのですぐに海面で待っているとドルフィンジャンプをまじかで見ることができ、興奮していると、イルカ先生だけではなくウミガメ先生を海面から顔を出してくれ触ってしまうのではと、心配になるくらいの近くで一緒に泳ぐことができました。

別の場所へ移動をし、綺麗な熱帯魚とウミガメ先生とシュノーケルができ、たくさんの写真を思い出に残すことができました。

シュノーケルが終わり、船で食べたスナック・チーズバーガー・ジュースは格別の味でした。港に帰る間はガイドさんたちのウクレレの演奏・生歌・フラダンスを教えていただき、楽しいひと時を過ごすことができました。

一つ残念だったことは、カヤック・スタンドアは風が強くてできなかったことです。安全面を考えたら仕方のないことですので、次回の楽しみにします。

今回ハワイ滞在で一番楽しい思い出になりました。次にハワイに行くときも必ず参加します。

船長さん・ガイドさん本当にありがとうございました。
