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!! 最高！！

Reviewed by: aiko

This was my first time participating in a tour alone. I was very anxious, but swimming with dolphins had been a dream of mine for many years, so I decided to go for it!
The result... it was amazing!
Since I was participating alone, not being able to take photos and not having someone to talk to were drawbacks, but the tour guide, who was also a photographer, came over multiple times to take pictures and chat with me. Additionally, the other participants were very kind, making it a fun experience!
Also, it seemed there were many cancellations, so instead of the usual 40 people, there were only 9 of us, which was fantastic!
I can't wait to return home and look at the photos!

初めての1人でのツアー参加。とても不安でしたが、イルカと泳ぐ事が長年の夢だったので、思い切って参加しました！
結果…最高でした^ ^
1人での参加だったので、写真が撮れない事と、喋る相手がいない事がネックだったのですが、写真はツアーガイド兼カメラマンの方が何度も話しかけて撮りに来てくださり、また他の参加者の方もとっても優しくて、楽しい参加になりました♩
また、キャンセルが多かったみたいで、普段40人ほどのところを9人しかいなかったのも最高でした^ ^
早く帰国して写真を見るのが楽しみです♩

If I hadn't gotten seasick, I could have enjoyed it more. 船酔いしなければもっと楽しめれたはず。

Reviewed by: 関宮佑二郎

I woke up early in the morning. When I arrived at the meeting place, the energetic staff welcomed us. We took a bus to the harbor. I think a wetsuit is necessary for this time of year, as everyone who participated borrowed one. I wanted the data, so I purchased it for about $40. I recommend bringing at least a little money. From the harbor, we boarded a boat and set off on a dolphin search. During the boat ride, we encountered a pod of dolphins, which was amazing. Following the captain's instructions, we arrived at the snorkeling point. Everyone gathered together to snorkel. It was thrilling to see dolphins and sea turtles up close. However, the cold was more than I expected, and the rocking of the boat when getting back on caused unexpected seasickness. I dove twice, but for the third time, I waited on the boat. A few others also experienced seasickness. It was really disappointing. If I hadn't gotten seasick, I could have enjoyed the sea a bit more. I could have gone on the waterslide too... The staff were all nice. Many on the bus were fast asleep. It's a pity that the data I received didn't have many photos from snorkeling. I guess you have to actively ask for them to get good shots. This turned out to be a good memory, though. If only I hadn't gotten seasick...!!!!

朝は早起きでした。集合場所で待っていれば威勢の良いスタッフがお迎えに。バスに乗り、船場へ。ウェットスーツは時期的に必要だと思います。参加されていた方皆さんが借りていました。データが欲しかったのでたしか＄40で購入。お金は最低限持って行った方がいいと思います。船場から船に乗り、イルカ探しの旅へ。船で移動中にも数頭のイルカの群れと遭遇で感動。キャプテンの指示でポイントに到着。ゲストみんなで固まってシュノーケル。イルカとウミガメをまじかに見れて感動。ただ、思った以上の寒さとシュノーケルから船に上がる時の揺れでまさかの船酔い。2回ダイブしましたが、3回目は船の上で待ってました。自分以外にも数人船酔いしてました。もう本当にショックでした。船酔いしなければもうちょっと海で遊べたのに。ウォータースライダーも出来たのに・・・。スタッフは皆さん良い人でした。かなりのバスは皆さん爆睡。もらったデータはシュノーケルでの写真があまりなかったのは残念。たぶん積極的に声をかけていかないと撮ってくれません。これはこれで良い思い出になったのか。
船酔いしなければ・・・！！！！

水中スクーター＆マウナルア湾パラダイスサンドバーシュノーケリングクルーズ　SUPなどのアクティビティも満喫！＜英語クルー＞

The most beautiful sea in Hawaii I've ever seen. 今までで一番きれいなハワイの海

Reviewed by: ハッピー

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！

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!

ハワイ水中スクーター　泳げなくてもOK！シーボブで海底散歩＆シュノーケリングクルーズ

Sea turtles and many fish. ウミガメとたくさんの魚と☆

Reviewed by: moguranko

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。

A large pod of dolphins!! イルカの大群!!

Reviewed by: ぱんた

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！

The voice of wild dolphins is moving! 野生のイルカの声　感動！

Reviewed by: 是永

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、

Shark Diving Hawaii - Cageless Pelagic Snorkel Tour with FREE Photos & Videos

Fantastic!

Reviewed by: George

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.

I was hesitant to participate... → I'm satisfied with the result!! 参加悩む…→結果満足！！

Reviewed by: blast

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）

The mysteries of the ocean! Hawaiian interactions! 海の神秘！ハワイアンな交流！

Reviewed by: cobapic

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！

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!

ハワイ水中スクーター　泳げなくてもOK！シーボブで海底散歩＆シュノーケリングクルーズ

Anyone can do it easily! 誰でも簡単！

Reviewed by: おそと

I think it's an activity that anyone can easily enjoy underwater, even if they can't swim, since you're just sitting on a scooter. However, it states that your face won't get wet, but when getting off the scooter, you're told to get off in the water, so you end up submerged. For the 4.5 people after the first, they also had to get on the scooter from underwater, so everyone was soaked. Perhaps because there were so many people, the wait time was long, and there was no snorkeling. However, the underwater scenery was beautiful, so I think it's worth experiencing at least once.

スクーターに座っているだけなので、泳げなくても誰でも簡単に水中を楽しめるアクティビティだと思います。ですが、顔が濡れないと記載されていますが、スクーターから降りる際水中で降りろといわれるので、結果水中に潜った形になってしまいます。4.5人目以降の人たちはスクーターに乗る際も、水中から乗る形になっていたので、みんなビショビショでした。人数が多かったせいか、待ち時間が長くシュノーケリングもありませんでした。ですが水中は綺麗だったので一度体験されるといいと思います。

2.5-Hour Waikiki Guided Turtle Snorkel Tour, Snacks & Drinks - Holokai Catamaran

Very Nice Time

Reviewed by: James & Shay

We had a really nice time. Saw some sea turtles and some fish. Unfortunately it was windy and a boat of scuba divers scared off the fish and turtles or should I say made it hard to keep up with them. The crew was completely awesome. The sail to the other side of Diamond Head was amazing. We had a really good time.

ウミガメシュノーケリング　ホロカイ・カタマラン号　高確率でウミガメに会えるタートルキャニオンへ！ソフトドリンク&スナック付き＜3時間／英語／ワイキキホテル発＞

You can see sea turtles. 海亀が観れます

Reviewed by: rainayako

I couldn't see sea turtles on the tour, but I was very satisfied to see many here. If you can swim, please consider renting or bringing your own fins. It seems to be a diving spot, and if you can dive to about 5 to 6 meters, you can see a variety of colorful fish. The area near the surface is full of black fish, so if you're confident in your swimming, give it a try. The staff was friendly, which was great.

海亀を見るツアーで見れなかったのですが、こちらで、いっぱい見れて大満足です。泳げる方は、是非フィンをレンタルもしくは、持参して下さい。ダイビングスポットらしく、5〜6m潜れれば、色とりどりの魚が見れます。海面付近は黒い魚だらけなので、泳ぎに自信のある人はチャレンジしてみて下さい。スタッフもフレンドリーな感じで良かったです。

Family-Friendly Waikiki Friday Night Fireworks Cruise & Glass Bottom Boat Tour

Cruise

Reviewed by: Peter & Louise-Aust.

Unfortunately our scheduled Friday night cruise was cancelled due to rough conditions. The staff were fantastic to reschedule a daytime cruise for us on Sunday since we were leaving the next Thursday. The boat crew were very friendly, informative, safe and competent. We managed to see some green sea turtles and view the island scenery from the water. We were able to capture some wonderful photos to remind us of our visit to Oahu.

シーライフパーク・ハワイ　イルカと触れ合える人気プログラムは選べる3プラン　海の生き物への餌やり体験、イルカやアシカのショーなど充実の園内＜送迎付きプランあり＞

A dream time with two dolphins!! イルカ2頭との夢の時間！！

Reviewed by: MAHALO

This time there was a discount campaign, so I thought it might be a bit expensive, but I decided to go ahead and make a reservation. I was very satisfied swimming while holding onto the dorsal fins of the two animals and being lifted up by having my feet pressed.

今回は割引キャンペーンだったので、少し高いかな？と思いましたが、思い切って予約しました。2頭の背びれにつかまり泳いだり、足の裏を押してもらって持ち上げてもっらったりと、大満足でした。

Waikiki Submarine Tour - Descend to 100ft, See Shipwrecks & Sunken Airplanes

Great but not spectacular.

Reviewed by: Alex T.

The submarine experience was nice. The inside of the sub was cool and comfortable. The only downside was that I was expecting to see the ocean floor teeming with fishes and corals which was not the case. Instead there were deliberately sunken ships and airplane ruins that served as artificial reefs or the ocean floor would have otherwise been bare. Didn't see any natural corals. But I guess it's not the fault of the tour though their ads were a bit overhyped and misleading with colourful fishes so you would tend to over expect. A fun and unique activity nevertheless for first timers!
