Encountered wild dolphins and sea turtles! 野生のイルカとウミガメに遭遇!

Reviewed by: とんきち

Waking up early was tough, but it was an incredibly valuable experience. We successfully had a rendezvous with dolphins and showcased a jump right in front of my wife and daughter! Additionally, we encountered a sea turtle up close! It was a tour that made the whole family very happy.

朝早いのが大変だけど、非常に貴重な体験ができました。
無事にイルカともランデブーし、妻と娘の目の前でジャンプを披露!
さらに、ウミガメにも間近で遭遇!
家族全員大喜びのツアーでした。

2.5-Hour Spirit of Aloha Waikiki Turtle Snorkel Tour with Cocktails from Hilton

Snorkeling

Reviewed by: Linda

This would have been a great snorkel adventure if there weren't so many people on board. It was impossible to view turtles. We were told to stick together and when the crew member who was in the water with us alerted us about a sighting everyone would swim over towards the turtles and you would either get kicked or shoved aside. Finally my granddaughter and I gave up and swam back toward the catamaran and we saw plenty of fish. The lunch was a lot better than the catamaran snorkel sail I took her on last year while she was here visiting. But they had a lot fewer people and we were able to snorkel and see turtles without being run over.

I am very satisfied again! 今回も大満足!

Reviewed by: a.m.

This is my eighth time being taken care of by VELTRA. Every tour has been a hit, and this time's submarine tour was also very satisfying. I signed up for the Japanese guided tour at 10 AM, and it was a great decision! With the earphone guide tour, I believe the guide is the same for the entire itinerary, but I was able to get explanations about the fish swimming right in front of me in real-time. Thanks to that, I didn't miss seeing the sharks napping, the rays gracefully swimming in threes, or the sea turtles gliding by. The weather was on our side, with clear blue skies and calm waves. According to the captain, "Even if the sea is a bit rough, the underwater experience is hardly shaken." Departing from Waikiki Beach meant a short travel time, allowing us plenty of time for activities in the afternoon. I will look for more fun tours to join next year, so thank you in advance!

VELTRAさんにお世話になること8回目。
毎回どのツアーもハズレなしでしたが,今回の潜水艦ツアーも大満足。
10時の日本語ガイドツアーを申込みましたが,大正解!
イヤホンガイドツアーだと,きっと全行程共通のガイドだと思いますが,
リアルタイムで目の前を横切るお魚達の説明をしてもらえます。
おかげさまで,昼寝中のサメや3匹で優雅に舞い泳ぐエイや,
ウミガメの遊泳も見逃すことはありませんでした。
お天気も味方してくれて,青空の下,波も穏やかでした。
船長さん曰く,「海上が少々荒れていても,海中は殆ど揺れません。」とのこと。
ワイキキビーチからの出発で所要時間も短く,午後からもタップリ行動できました。
来年もまた楽しいツアーを見つけて参加しますので,よろしくお願いいたします。

Family Dolphin Encounter 家族揃ってのドルフィン・エンカウンター

Reviewed by: りんママ

We participated in the Dolphin Encounter as a family since my daughter is three years old. She was initially scared of seeing the dolphins up close, and since we had a photo session before she got used to it, all the pictures turned out to show her looking nervous. However, as time passed, she became more comfortable and started to enjoy touching them. I would like to participate again when she is a bit older.

This time, we arrived early by rental car, so it was great that we could explore other areas within Sea Life Park as well.

娘が3歳ということで、ドルフィン・エンカウンターに家族で参加しました。
娘は初めて間近で見るイルカに恐怖心があり、慣れないうちに写真撮影があったため、写真はどれも腰が引けたものになっていました。しかし、時間が経つと慣れてきて触れるようになり楽しんでいました。娘がもう少し大きくなった時に、また参加したいです。
今回はレンタカー移動で早めに到着したので、シーライフ・パーク内の他の場所も回ることができてよかったです。

I didn't see many fish, but I was satisfied. それほど魚は見られませんでしたが、満足しました。

Reviewed by: ゆきこ

We participated with my brother's family and our parents to find something enjoyable for my 4-year-old niece.

We took a boat to the transfer point for the submarine. Sitting in an outside seat, the boat rocked quite a bit, especially while we were in the bay. The wind helped distract from the motion, but those who are prone to motion sickness should be cautious.

Although the transfer to the submarine was last, it might have actually been the right choice. I had a window all to myself. My parents, who were seated in the middle, mentioned that they had to share two windows with 3 or 4 people, which made it a bit cramped. However, the staff's chatter was quite loud, and while it wasn't bothersome if you didn't understand English, it was a bit annoying when seawater dripped in after the hatch was opened.

There were plenty of fish around the artificial reefs made of blocks, boats, and airplanes. However, they didn't come close to the windows. It turns out that it doesn't quite match the pictures. Still, watching the underwater world while listening to the audio guide was fascinating and enjoyable. My niece didn't listen to the guide, but she seemed to have a good time.

4歳の姪っ子が楽しめるものを、ということで弟家族と両親と参加しました。

潜水艦への乗り換えポイントまで船で行きます。
船外の席に座っていると、かなりの揺れ。特に湾内にいるときの方が揺れました。
船外の席で風に当たっていると気分は紛れますが、乗り物酔いしやすい人は注意が必要かも。

潜水艦への乗り換えが最後になってしまいましたが、これが実は正解だったかも。
船窓を独り占め。真ん中のほうの席にいた両親は、3,4人で2つの船窓だったので隣の人が少し邪魔だったと言っていました。
ただし、暇を持て余したスタッフが話している声が結構大きいのと(英語が分からないとそれほど気になりませんが)、浮上後にハッチを開けた際に海水が少し降ってくるのは我慢です。

ブロックや船、飛行機などの人口漁礁の周りでは魚がいっぱいいました。
ただ、船窓近くには寄って来ませんが。やはり、写真のようにはいかないですね。
それでも音声ガイドを聞きながら見る海の世界は興味深く、楽しいものでした。
姪っ子はガイドは聞いていませんが、それなりに楽しんでいたようです。

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

Well worth it!

Reviewed by: John

Enjoyed the submarine experience with my 3 kids ages 7,12 and 14. All of us had a great time. The short boat ride to and from the dive site was great, with beautiful views of Waikiki and Diamond Head. Everything was very organized and the staff all seemed genuinely happy to be there. The narrator dude (Justin or Jason...can't remember) was awesome!...funny and knowledgeable. Sad to hear about how global warming is changing what can live and grow in Hawaiian waters and how quickly things are changing. We saw a million colorful fish, a shark and a turtle. Totally worth it!

Spindle jump is the best!! スピンドルジャンプ最高!!

Reviewed by: 海大好きファミリー

I searched online for a tour to swim with wild dolphins and signed up for "Dolphin University," which had the best reviews. It was a great decision. The staff were enthusiastic both on the bus and on the boat, making it a very enjoyable tour. We were blessed with good weather and received satisfying lessons from Dolphin Sensei and Professor Turtle, successfully graduating from the experience.

The schedule involved being picked up by a bus from the hotel at 6 AM, traveling along the west coast of Oahu for about an hour to reach the port. During the ride, the female staff shared detailed explanations about dolphins and turtles, tips for swimming well with dolphins, and snorkeling precautions, which made the journey exciting and tense as we quickly arrived at the port.

We immediately boarded the boat, sang "Ehomai" to pray for safe sailing, and set off. Fifteen minutes later, we encountered the first pod of dolphins, which included a mother and her baby (about five dolphins spotted). The second pod had over 20 dolphins! They swam gracefully beneath us as we floated with our snorkels. They were incredibly fast! On that day, there were three pods in the bay. The dolphins even showcased some spindle jumps. I felt super lucky and wished I could swim with them a little longer.

Next, we enjoyed snorkeling at the fish and turtle point. There were only a few coral reefs in this area (which is generally sparse around Oahu). We also tried paddle surfing for the first time and managed to stand up quickly, which was fun. However, it was a bit disappointing that the hula dance we were looking forward to couldn't happen due to sound equipment issues. I would have loved to do it even without music.

The photographer took many pictures, and I think it would be even better if there was a system to select and purchase only the photos we wanted for creating memories. We had to wait about 30 minutes for the return bus, which was a bit frustrating in the heat. Overall, it was a very fulfilling and enjoyable tour. I highly recommend it.

Luxury Ko Olina Sunset Cruise with Snorkeling, Dinner Buffet & Premium Cocktails - Ocean Joy Cruises

Ocean Joy Snorkel & Dinner Cruise Review

Reviewed by: Unhappy customer

We were pretty disappointed with this trip. Just not as organized as we had hoped. We've been on many different snorkel trips over the years and this is one of the most unorganized we've attended. Competing boats seem to pass out gear and explain rules and safety regulations on the way to the destination. Then, once anchored, we can get in the water. This boat waits until we are on anchor, then starts the slow unorganized process of handing out gear. Takes way too long!

Food was decent, but mixed drinks were not! The captain, although tried to be funny, was not for the most part. We tried to have a conversation with him and generally got one word answers. So, he really wasn't interested in talking with us. When we were on anchor, he seemed to be more interested in flying his own personal drone around the boat.

The crew was nice and helpful, the captain, not so much! The best part of the trip was the photographer. Really a terrific individual, very personal with the guest and generally took an interest in the guest.

Overall, I wouldn't use this boat again.

Aloha and thank you so much for taking the time to write about your experience on the Kai 'Oli'Oli. We are sorry your experience wasn't the best. Because of your feedback, we have thoroughly retrained the crew on how to efficiently conduct our snorkel preparation and briefings and have privately counseled the Captain about his disinterest towards you and your family. At our next crew meeting, we have food and beverage training scheduled in addition to our usual safety training. We strive to always have complete customer satisfaction and we know that at times we may fall short, so we truly appreciate your input. When you visit O'ahu again, please call us directly and we would like to host you on our boat and we will be proud to show you a better tour as a result of your review.

Although the explanation was only in English, the most important rule was: do not stick your hands and feet outside the cage! Fortunately, there were no shark attacks. We took our time and got to enjoy a lifetime's worth of sharks up close!

船酔いを心配しましたが、船長さん曰く年に30日あるかどうかの穏やかな海、ラッキーだね、とのこと。いつもは一人は吐く人がいるそうです (笑)
英語のみの説明ですが、重要なのは1つ。ケージの外に手足を出さない!でした。サメにアタックされることはなかったです。結構じっくり時間を取ってくれて、一生分のサメを近距離で堪能しました!

BOB's Hawaii Underwater Scooter Adventure & Turtle Watching Tour

poorly organized program......wait too much time for 15 min riding

Reviewed by: Hugh

Even though I spent the whole morning for this activity, I just rode the underwater scooter for 15 min only. Furthermore, I couldn't even enjoy with my wife and son at the same time. So embarrassed and annoyed much. I admit the riding itself is exciting activity but their program was not that sophisticated. I was so much disappointed.

Kiss a dolphin at Dolphin Encounter! ドルフィン・エンカウンターでイルカとキス!

Reviewed by: 勘太丸

Taking my three-year-old daughter to Hawaii. I've been to Hawaii many times, but this was my first time with a child, so I was unsure where to take her and chose this option.

In the end, it was the right choice. We drove along the coast from Waikiki in a rental car, enjoying the beautiful scenery, and headed to Sea Life Park. After having fun at Sea Life Park, we went to Kailua for some shopping.

It was a day that both my child and wife enjoyed.

Just one thing, the hot dog at Sea Life Park wasn't that great, haha.

三歳児の娘を連れてのハワイ。
自分はもう何十回もハワイにきているが、子連れは初ということで、どこに連れて行くのがいいのか迷ってこちらを選択。

結果、正解でした。
レンタカーでワイキキから海沿いをドライブして綺麗な景色を楽しみつつ、シーライフパークを目指し、シーライフパークで遊んだあとはカイルアまで行ってお買い物。

子供、妻共々楽しんでくれた一日コースでした。

ただ一点、シーライフパークに唯一あるホットドックはたいして美味しくなかったかな笑

  • ここでイルカと遊びます!

I got to see dolphins! ☆ イルカに逢えました☆

Reviewed by: joh

I was able to see dolphins from the boat multiple times, but it was difficult to see them swimming underwater. However, on my third try, I finally got to meet a dolphin I had been hoping to see. They swam beneath us and, although at a distance, they performed spinning jumps, and I even got to see a baby dolphin. It was amazing. I want to participate again.

船の上からイルカを何度も見ることはできていましたが、水中で泳いでいる姿を見ることはなかなかできませんでしたが、3回目のトライで念願のイルカに逢えました。
自分たちが泳いでいる下を通り過ぎたり、中距離でしたが、回転ジャンプしたり、赤ちゃんイルカに逢えました。
最高でした。また参加したいです。

I saw dolphins. イルカ見えました

Reviewed by: TAKAYUKI

I was curious about what it would be like, so I participated. When we spotted the dolphins from the boat, everyone dove into the sea one by one at the signal and chased after them. However, I didn't have enough stamina and couldn't use my fins effectively, so I couldn't get very close. But next time, I want to build up my stamina and participate again.

どんな感じに見えるのか疑問に思い参加しましたが船の上から発見すると合図と共にみんなが順番に海へダイブ、イルカを追いかけました。しかし体力が無い私は足のフィンを上手く使えずにあまり近くへ寄ることが出来ませんでした。
でも今度は体力を付けて参加させて頂きたいと思います。

Awesome Trip!

Of all the things we did in Hawaii, this was the best! The crew was fun and personable. We saw turtles and dolphins on our tour. The catamaran was impressive and very well kept. Excellent selection of adult beverages.
