Haleiwa Turtle Snorkel Cruise - North Shore Ocean Safari [Summer Season Only]

Unexpected shark

Reviewed by: Debbie

This activity took us past where the famous TV show lost was filmed.since I am a huge fan of that show it was very interesting to see the area which they filmed it. Then we saw quite a few pods of spinning dolphin that was very exciting to my grandchildren as they jumped into the air and spun around over and over again..After watching our guide do free diving we ran into a few eel and that was exciting to see. But the best part was when we went to a special area to see sharks and they were not just any shark it was a big 10 foot Tigershark I had never seen that it was quite a thrill. Our captain and his assistant were both very knowledgeable and very pleasant to be around, soft drinks water was included and we were able to take our very young grandchildren that were only two years old. The little town where the harbor is located is also a bonus. It has lots of little shops and wonderful food places to eat. So after our hour and a half tour we then walked around the town and had a delicious lunch. If you’re staying on the North Shore it’s only about 20 to 25 minutes to get to the harbor where you catch the boat. So all in all it’s a days full activity and something the entire family can do even the little ones. There is a cover on the boat what’s allows you to get in from under the rain, although we had pleasant weather we did not need to escape the weather

Haleiwa Turtle Snorkel Cruise - North Shore Ocean Safari [Summer Season Only]

The perfect North Shore excursion!

Reviewed by: Mike

We couldn't have found a better way to explore the North Shore! My girlfriend and I went out on an afternoon cruise and had a blast! We saw lots of dolphins and even got to stop by a shark dive spot where we could see sharks from the boat! I have never seen as many different large sea animals in one boat ride, it was incredible! We stopped for a while and snorkeled in Waimea Bay which was amazing. We were able to take a bunch of cool underwater pictures and we even saw a turtle! The captain and crew are the friendliest in the Islands and are very passionate about sharing the culture and history of Hawaii. I really enjoyed this because for me, getting to learn about the places I visit really makes the experience so much more memorable. We can't wait to come back during whale watching season!

This season's finale 今シーズン最終

Reviewed by: もぐら

I wasn't able to see any whales this time, but I didn't have high expectations from the start, so I participated with the mindset of at least seeing dolphins while cruising. I was able to see a pod of dolphins and some turtles, which was just as I expected.

At the end, since I didn't see any whales, the explanation for a re-challenge was in English, and I couldn't understand it. It seems that since this is the last of the season, I won't be able to re-challenge this season. So, I think it means that if I show this ticket next time, I might get a discount? I would like to know the correct information. Also, how should I communicate that I have the ticket for the next time?

時期的にクジラはやっぱり会えなかったんですが、まあ最初から期待はしてなく最悪イルカとクルージングって感じで参加しました。
イルカの群れと亀が会え、思った通りでした。
最後にクジラに会えなかったので、再チャレンジの説明が英語で、わからなかったのですが、どうやら、今シーズン最終なので、今シーズンで再チャレンジができない。よって次回このチケットを見せればディスカウント？みたいなことかなと。正解を教えてほしいです。また次回ってどうやってチケット持ってることを伝えたらいいんでしょうか？

This was my second time whale watching, and although the number of whales was few, we were still able to see some. Above all, the staff member who generously applied sunscreen was very friendly, constantly asking if I wanted a beer or a refill, which made the experience enjoyable. My friend who came along was also pleased, so I think this is one of the classic tours in Honolulu. I highly recommend it.

ホエールウォッチングは2回目ですが、今回も数は少ないながら鯨を見ることができました。何より日焼け止めをたっぷり塗ったスタッフのおっちゃんがビールは飲むか?ビールのおかわりはどうだ?と、しきりに気を遣ってくれたのがとてもフレンドリーで楽しい気持ちになりました。連れて行った友達も喜んでくれたので、定番のホノルルツアーの1つかと思います。お勧めです。

I was unsure of the meeting place and, despite not understanding English, I called and was guided until I arrived.

Although they didn't speak Japanese, their sincere assistance made it a pleasant experience to board, and I am truly grateful.

The boat was beautiful, and the crew was kind; I’m glad I chose the Honi Olani.

Whales...
It was an afternoon plan.
About ten minutes after departure, we saw a whale breaching, and after that, we spotted several blows, with a baby whale coming to play right next to the boat.
It was a unique experience thanks to the catamaran with a deck.

Seeing whales in nature is truly moving!

集合場所がわからず、英語がわからないながらも電話した所、つくまで誘導していただきました。
日本語は通じ無いですが、対応に誠意があり気持ちよく乗船することができ感謝しかないです。

クジラ・・・
午後プランでした。
出向して10分くらいでクジラのブリーチング、その後は何頭ものブローが見え、子クジラが船の直ぐ横に遊びにきてくれました。
デッキ付きのカタマラン船ならではの体験でした。

自然の中で見るクジラの姿に感動します！

1 whale and 2 dolphins (laughs) 1クジラと2イルカ(笑)

Reviewed by: こっちゃん

I actually wanted to go to Maui, but since I didn't have the time or money, I looked for tours on Oahu. I chose this tour on a whim, thinking that a smaller boat might allow for closer views than a larger one. Plus, it was a bit pricey for a morning tour to ensure I could board again if I didn't see anything. The hotel pickup was on time. I was unsure whether to wear flip-flops or shoes, but since I could leave my shoes before boarding, either option worked.

I thought we would go further out, but we only went to a point where we could see the hotels along Waikiki Beach, heading towards Diamond Head. After a while, I spotted the dorsal fin of a baby whale in the distance, and I was thrilled to see it raise its tail and dive! We stopped there and waited for it to resurface, but it never showed itself again.

We went a bit further but still didn't see any more whales, so we turned around to head back. On the way there and back, we saw a pod of dolphins swimming close enough to capture on camera. However, I was a bit disappointed that I didn't see more whales. I wondered if the larger, famous boat we passed had gone further or if the afternoon tour would have been better. I can't say for sure if my choice was the right one.

I want to feel satisfied that I saw at least one whale, but I can't shake the feeling that if we had gone further, we might have seen more. So, that's why I gave this rating. Well, I guess it's just the nature of wildlife (laughs).

本当はマウイに行きたかったけれど時間もお金も無いのでオアフ島でツアー探しました。
大きな船よりは小さいほうが至近距離で見れることもあるかと一か八かこのツアーにしました。
しかも見れなかった時に最乗船出来るように少々高い午前中のツアー。
ホテルへのお迎えも時間どおり。
ビーサンで行くか靴で行くか迷ったけど靴は乗船前に預かってもらえたからどちらでも。
もっと沖に行くのかと思いきや、ワイキキビーチのホテル群が見えるくらいの所をダイヤモンドヘッド方向に。
しばらくしたらやや遠くに子クジラの背鰭が見えて尾びれを上げて潜る所は見れて大興奮！
そこで停船し再浮上待つもその後姿を見せることはなく。
また少し先に行くも再びクジラを見ることはなく方向転換して帰路へ。
行きと帰りにイルカの群れが至近距離を泳ぐ姿はカメラにも納められるくらいの時間で見れました。
が、もうちょっとクジラを見れてれば、と思ってたので少しがっかり。
すれ違った大型の有名な船はもっと先まで行っていたのであちらのが良かったのか、はたまた午後のが良かったのか、と色々後悔とまではいかないけれど自分の選択が正解かどうかがわからない。
クジラが一回でも見れたから良しとしたいところですがあの一回が無ければもっと先に探しに行って貰えてもっと見れたのでは、などとのもやもやは消えず。なのでこの評価です。
まあ生き物なので仕方ないかな(笑)

It seems that there are days when you may not encounter whales. On this day, they were also slow to appear. At the crew's words that they were around here, the multinational members all focused their eyes intently. Then, with a splash, they jumped! "Oh my God!" voices exclaimed. Everyone was moved by the sight of these mammals living in the ocean, beings so close to us. It was a tour that allowed us to empathize with the beauty of nature and the essence of life.

日によっては、クジラに遭遇できないこともあるそうです。
この日もなかなか出てきてくれません。あの辺にいるよとクルーの言葉に、多国籍メンバーが一斉に目を凝らす。と、水しぶきを上げてジャンプ！「オー・マイ・ガーッド」と声が上がる٩(^‿^)۶海中で生きる哺乳類、我々に近い存在の姿に参加者全員が感動。自然の素晴らしさと命に共感できるツアーでした。

There were whales!!! ホエール達がいました！！！！！

Reviewed by: クジラさん

I participated on January 28, 2019.
This boat didn't have a Japanese guide, so it was mostly foreigners, but in the end, this tour was great.
The pick-up was handled by a cheerful and friendly lady, and there were no particular issues. The boat was smaller compared to other whale-watching boats, which made it easier to see the whales.
There was a large cruise ship in a similar area, but it was crowded with people and far away, so a smaller boat is definitely more comfortable for viewing. Well, if you really want to see them up close, going to Maui would be the best option...
It might be a bit warmer when it's sunny, but since it was somewhat cloudy, it got cold if you were exposed to the wind for too long. Warm clothing is essential. Foreigners seemed to handle the cold well, even in short sleeves, but ordinary Japanese people would definitely need a thick jacket.
I took motion sickness medication just in case, but it was at a level where I thought it might be okay without it. However, this depends on the sea conditions, so I think it's better to have it just in case.
It seemed like there were 2 to 3 whales, and they occasionally showed themselves. They were found relatively quickly, which was a bit surprising. The timing might have been good as well; January to mid-February is said to be the best season. I hope this information is helpful for those planning to go.

2019.1.28に参加しました。
この船は日本語ガイドがないので外国の方ばかりでしたが、結果的にはこのツアーで良かったです。
送迎も明るく気さくなお姉さんで特に問題はなく、船は他のホエールウオッチング船に比べて小さめだったので鯨たちが見やすかったと思います。
似たような場所に大型客船がいましたが、人は鈴なりになっているし距離は遠いしで、小型の船の方が絶対快適に見れますね。まあ、本当に間近で見ようと思ったらマウイ島に行くのがベストでしょうが…
晴れているともう少し暖かいかもですが、やや雲っていたので長く風に吹かれていると寒いです。防寒着は必須です。外国の方は寒さに強いので半袖でも平気そうでしたが、普通の日本人は厚手の上着がないと無理だと思います。
酔い止めは念のため飲んで行きましたが、無くても大丈夫かな？という程度でした。でもこれは海の状態に寄るので、持っておいたほうがいいと思います。
鯨達は2〜3頭いるようで、時々姿を見せました。割とすぐに見つかったので、拍子抜けする位でした。時期も良かったのかもしれません。1月-2月中旬がベストシーズンだそうです。これから行かれる方の参考になれば嬉しいです。

It was fun since it was my first time on a catamaran. The cabin with a roof, the open deck, and the net stretched over the water below allowed me to change my spot according to my mood, making it comfortable. The staff was friendly and kind. Drinks and snacks were free (alcoholic beverages required tips in the box). They would shout out if they spotted a whale, so you wouldn't miss it. Luckily, I was able to see them multiple times.

初めての双胴船なので楽しかった。ルーフがあるキャビン、オープンなデッキ、下は海面の双胴に渡したネットの上など気分で居場所を変えることができ快適。スタッフはフレンドリーで親切。ドリンク＆スナック菓子が無料(アルコール類はチップをボックスに)。クジラが見えたら大声で教えてくれるので見逃さない。運良く何回も見ることが出来た。

It was my first whale watching cruise, and I was lucky enough to see two whales spouting and jumping, which I was able to capture in photos! However, the tour was conducted entirely in English, and I couldn't understand anything that was being said. I think the explanations are the same each time, so it would have been appreciated if there were printed materials in Japanese for the explanations.

Reviewed by: Yumimin

まずは、ボートで数分走って、サンドバーを散歩しながら説明を聞いたり写真撮影などをします。
プライベートなので、人の少ない所に連れて行ってもらえるため、写真撮影では他の人が映らない景色をたくさん撮影することができました。そのあと、サンドバーの近くにあるシュノーケリングスポット(ちょうど水深が深くなるところ)に移動して、希望者はシュノーケルをしました。大きな魚がたくさんいました。
お腹がすいてきたので、船上でランチです。同じツアー会社の大人数を乗せる船も催行しており、そこで焼いたカルビやソーセージも頂き、最後は、ウォーターアクティビティーを楽しみました。３時間は長すぎるかと思いきやあっという間に楽しい時間が過ぎ去ってしまいましたが、非常によい思い出になりました。

昼食用のごはんや飲み物は、とっても美味しく満足のいく量があります。お酒を3缶持っていき、氷がたくさん入ったアイスボックスで冷やしてもらいもらえました。
シュノーケルセットは、透明度が高く海の中がくっきり見え、視力が弱くても海の中ではきれいに見えます。

6人いるなら絶対にプライベートボートがおすすめです。
さわやかで優しい日本人女性ガイドさんと、若々しく機転を利かせながらもてなしてくれるキャプテンの２名が、きめ細やかな対応をしてくださいました。写真もたくさん撮影してくださるし、子供のわがままにも応えてくれ(早く次に行きたい、あれがやりたいなど)ました。シュノーケルする前に、シュノーケリングの基本を教えてくださり、ガイドさんは常にライフセーバー用の浮き棒をもってシュノーケルのところまで一緒に来てくださるので、いつでも安心です。本当にどうもありがとうございました！

I tried on January 2nd in the morning and January 3rd in the afternoon, but I couldn't see anything at all; it was just a cruise. It would have been nice if they could have taken us to spots where we could see dolphins or turtles when we couldn't see whales, but there was nothing at all.

It was tough as a parent to see my 7-year-old's disappointment. I think it would be good to have announcements about the likelihood of sightings and explanations of the spots, but they spoke optimistically, saying that it’s unpredictable, which was very disappointing.

First, the pickup was 15 minutes late. Just as I was about to call because I couldn't wait any longer, they finally arrived, and of course, there was no apology. Next, when boarding the boat, it was so crowded that there were no seats at all. Our group of six had to stand both going and coming back. The staff completely ignored the fact that we were standing without seats. It was difficult to stand with the boat swaying, and when I tried to go towards the deck to grab the handrail, I was told I couldn't. I had no choice but to keep standing. A minute later, when a foreigner tried to go to the deck, the staff said nothing. So, we also moved to the deck. My wife's parents, who are elderly and have weak legs, were with us, and I think it's terrible to accept reservations when there are no seats available. Even though we were visible to the staff, they did nothing and even prevented us from going to the deck. Moreover, when we were sent back, there was no explanation, and we had no idea which car we were supposed to get into. At one point, they changed the route to drop off other customers, and for some reason, they started picking up new customers, leaving us anxious about when they would finally send us. They stopped for a long time near the Sheraton without any explanation, and since it seemed like we wouldn't be departing anytime soon, we had no choice but to get off and go shopping. It was truly the worst experience. I will never use this company's tour again.

まずピックアップは15分遅れ。待ちきれず電話しようとしたところでやっと到着、もちろん謝罪はない。つぎに船に乗る際人がいっぱいで、座るところが全くない。私たち６人のグループだけが行きも帰りも立ったまま。スタッフは我々が座れず立っているのに全く無視。ゆれて立っているのが大変なため船の手すりに捕まろうとデッキの方へ行こうとしたらダメと言われ、仕方なく立っていた。その1分後に外人がデッキへ行こうとしたらスタッフは何も言わず。なので我々もデッキへ移動。妻の親が参加しており老人で足腰弱いんだから、座る場所もないのに予約を受けるなんて最悪と思います。我々がスタッフに見えているにもかかわらず、なんの対応もせずデッキにすら行かせるのを邪魔して一体なんなんだと思います。しかも帰りの送りの際もなんの説明もなく、いったいどの車に乗ればいいのかさっぱりわからなかった。途中他の客の求めでコースを変えて降ろしていたし、何故か新たに客を乗せ出しているしいつになったら我々を送ってくれるんだとやきもきしました。途中シャラトンのそばでなんの説明もなくずっと停車しいつまで待っても出発しそうにない為、仕方なく我々は降車し買い物にでかけました。本当に最悪でした。二度とこの会社のツアーは利用しません。

The pickup time slightly exceeded the regulation stating, "If more than 10 minutes have passed since the meeting time, call the office," so I was wondering what to do when a cheerful guy and a colorful van appeared. We arrived at the harbor in about 15 minutes.

After signing a document stating that I understood, "Even if you don't see whales, if the boat sinks or if you flirt and die, we won't provide compensation, and it's at your own risk," I boarded the ship.

The boat was clean and spacious. Additionally, there was a staff member who spoke Japanese well, which eased my concerns about the upcoming experience. They were very friendly. Alcohol and soft drinks were all-you-can-drink, and there were two restrooms available, so no worries there.

However, even though the waves were calm, the boat rocked quite a bit, so for those who get motion sickness, I think it would be a 200% chance of getting sick, and even taking motion sickness medication might not help, so it might be better to give up.

On the way out to the open sea, we couldn't spot any whale spouts, so I was somewhat resigned, but while cruising with a beer in hand, watching passenger planes flying overhead in the open waters of Waikiki, I thought it was a nice vacation vibe and good content. Then, on the way back, we discovered a whale spout.

The deck erupted in excitement. After that, we were lucky enough to see multiple whales performing dives and spouting, which was thrilling.

I would say it was a very enjoyable tour experience.

I would recommend it to those who don't get seasick and can enjoy the cruise even if they don't see whales.

If you see a whale, consider yourself lucky.

ピックアップの時間が若干、レギュレーションにある「待ち合わせ時間に１０分以上経過した場合は事務所に電話をしろ」という時間を超えていたので、どうしたもんかと思ったところ、陽気なにーちゃんとカラフルなバンが登場。１５分程度でハーバーに到着。

「クジラが見えなくても、船が沈没したり、ナンパして、死んでも、おれんところは補償しないし、免責だぜ、」ということを理解しました、という内容にサインしてから乗船。

船は清潔で、広々としてる。さらに日本語を上手に操るスタッフのメンズがいて、今後の流れへの不安は払拭。とてもフレンドリー。
お酒やソフトドリンクも飲み放題。トイレも二つ備え付けなので、心配なし。

ただ、波は穏やかでも、船はそれなりに揺れるので、乗り物酔いする人は200％酔うので、酔い止めを飲んでも効かないレベルだと思うので、諦めた方がいいかもしれない。

外洋まで行く、往路ではクジラの潮吹きを見つけられなかったので、半ば諦めつつも、ビール片手に、ワイキキの外洋を、上空をかすめる、旅客機を見ながらのクルージングは、それはそれで、バカンス感もあり、コンテンツとしても良いかなと思っていた、往路で、クジラの潮吹きを発見。

甲板が一斉に盛り上がる。その後、運良く、複数のクジラが営業ダイビングや、営業潮吹きをしてくれて、盛り上がる。

大変楽しいツアーコンテンツだったと評せる。

船酔いをしない、クジラが見れなくてもクルージングだと思って楽しめる人にはオススメしたい。

クジラが観れたら、それは、ツイてた、ということで。

Maitai Catamaran Waikiki Private Boat Charter

Best Office Holiday Party Ever!

Reviewed by: Wrob

We chartered a catamaran for our office holiday party, and it was the perfect relaxing, fun, and unusual activity for a wonderful time! The two men who captained the boat and tended the bar did a wonderful job! We enjoyed the beauty of being out on the water with excellent beverage service (great maitais!) and nice waves splashing the kids who sat on the net. We would recommend it highly not just for office parties, but for any group. It's a wonderful icebreaker or memory maker activity! We have a lot of diversity of personalities in our office, but everyone had a great time!

I was able to take a flight in the afternoon, and since it was my first time seeing a whale, I was quite shocked! It was a valuable experience! I will use this service again!

Private Kaneohe Sandbar Speed Boat Rental with SUP & Snorkel – Captain Bruce

Great service on the private charter!

Reviewed by: kara

Very experienced and friendly guides who were also very prepared with hot beverages and rain coats when it got cold and rainy. Showed us lots of sea life including turtles. Nice spread of snacks and drinks. Comfortable and clean boat. We enjoyed their conversation and everyone had a great time! We hope to do it again.

Unfortunately, I couldn't meet any whales... 残念ながらクジラに会えず・・・

This time, since my 9-year-old nephew was with us, I really wanted to show him, but we couldn't see any whales, as they are wild animals. It's disappointing. >＜

今回は９歳の甥っ子も一緒に行っていたため、ぜひ見せてあげたいと思っていたのですがやはりクジラも自然の動物会えませんでした。残念＞＜

Whale Watching Sail in Waikiki on the Honu Lani with Optional Transportation Available [Dec–Mar]

Great Tour!

Reviewed by: JTran

This is my second time going to Oahu but was traveling with friends who have never gone. One was really interested in whale watching so we saw links for the Honi Olani Catamaran Sail and decided to try this one out. We're super glad we did because this was such a great tour!

The staff are extremely friendly and they provide such a great experience. The first time we went, we didn't see any whales but that may have been because of the strong waves and number of boats sailing around which might have scared them away.
Regardless of seeing whales, the cruise was awesome. It was really nice to be able to feel the sun on the catamaran and have a nice beverage while we enjoyed the weather. The tour was nice to give us a free voucher to ride again to see if we can spot whales the second time and we did! We ended up seeing a mother whale teaching her male calf how to breach!

I would definitely cruise again with this crew when I come back to Oahu. Mahalo for the great experience guys
