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

Atlantis Submarine tour, Waikiki

Reviewed by: Richard Rockwell

Had a wonderful time. Got to check-in early and was offered an earlier eight AM ride as they held the boat for us. Turned out to be a blessing as there was fewer patrons and more windows. Guide was friendly and extremely entertaining. A must for anyone visiting the island for something very different.

Reviewed by: nabe

We participated as a couple because we could see dolphins up close. It was very early in the morning, but our guide, Julie, was so entertaining that we didn't feel sleepy on the bus and had a great time. It was June, but the temperature was low, so everyone borrowed wetsuits (for $10). Also, some people felt sick on the boat, so motion sickness medication is a must!!

As soon as we got on the boat, we could see many dolphins jumping. At the same time, everyone jumped into the sea! During the first swim with the dolphins, those who were unsure of their swimming abilities were allowed to go in first. Because I was nervous about swimming, I was able to go in first and see the dolphins up close!! During the second swim, I couldn't get to the front and was at the back, so I couldn't see the dolphins at all. I'm glad I got to see them during the first swim. If you're slow at swimming or at the back, you won't see the dolphins at all.

What got me even more excited than the dolphins was snorkeling. I was truly moved to see various kinds of fish up close. The cheeseburger and snacks we had for lunch tasted ordinary, but they felt really delicious because we were tired, haha.

The staff were kind and many of them were fun. However, since there were 17 groups, I thought it might have been a bit too crowded. The hula dance was fun, but from the back, it was hard to see what was being danced because there were too many people. I also couldn't see the turtles very well. However, swimming with dolphins and snorkeling are experiences you don't get often, so I think it's worth participating at least once!

イルカが間近で見れるということで、夫婦で参加しました。
朝はとても早かったですが、担当のジュリーさんの話が面白くて、バスの中も眠くならず、楽しく過ごせました。
6月でしたが気温が低くて、みんなウエットスーツを借りてました。（10ドル）
あと、船に乗って気分が悪くなっている人もいたので酔い止めは必須です！！

船に乗ったあとすぐに、たくさんのイルカがジャンプしているのが見えました。それと同時に、みんなで海へジャンプ！
一回目のイルカと泳ぐ際、運動神経が不安な人は初めに入らせてくれました。泳ぎが不安な為初めに入らせてもらえ、イルカも間近で見ることができました！！
二回目のイルカと泳ぐ際は、前の方に行けず後ろにいた為、イルカは全く見えなかったので、一回目で初めに見せてもらえてよかったです。泳ぎが遅かったり、後ろの方にいるとイルカは全然見えません。

イルカ以上にテンションが上がったのが、シュノーケルです。いろんな種類のお魚が間近で見れて、本当に感動しました。
お昼に食べたチーズバーガーとスナックは、普通の味ですが疲れてるのもありとても美味しく感じました笑

スタッフの人も優しくて、楽しい方が多かったです。しかし17組もいた為、少し人数が多すぎかな？と思いました。
フラダンスも、楽しかったのですが後ろの方だと人数が多すぎて、何を踊ってるのかがよく見えませんでした。カメもあまり見えなかったです。
ただ、シュノーケルやイルカと泳ぐのはなかなかない機会なので、一度は参加したほうがいいと思います！

Reviewed by: yuki

It's best to buy food in advance since mornings are early. I've heard that being hungry can make you more prone to seasickness.

During the bus ride, we received explanations, and as soon as we arrived at the port, we headed out to sea. According to the guide, if we depart late, we might have to wait if other tours are ahead, which reduces our chances to try again and meet dolphins. In that regard, Dolphin Academy has an advantage because of its smaller group size, allowing for quicker departures compared to the university. On the other hand, families can relax more, so the university is recommended for them.

The weather was clear, and although it was May, we didn't wear wetsuits and it wasn't particularly cold. Not everyone borrowed one this time, but it seemed to be fine. However, it can get chilly when the wind hits you after getting wet, so I recommend having a bag ready with a bath towel and a jacket.

Due to rain the previous night, the water clarity was a bit low, but we were able to see dolphins. About 5-6 dolphins swam about 10 meters away from us. I brought a camera, but it was quite difficult to get good shots. Fortunately, a professional photographer was there, and you can get photos for about $50. In my excitement of seeing the dolphins, I accidentally dropped my wedding ring, and if the photographer hadn't picked it up, it would have been a disaster, so I recommend removing rings and such in advance.

After the dolphins, we moved to a shallow area where we could see turtles and fish. Those who are confident in swimming can remove their life jackets here. Turtles only come up to the surface when they breathe, but we were lucky to see them up close several times that day.

After taking a break, they provided soup, something like a Snickers, and pineapple. The pineapple was especially sweet and delicious, so I recommend it.

Even though it's called snorkeling, you don't need to dive; basically, you just float, so even beginners need not worry. One thing to note is that there are no changing rooms, so it's advisable to bring clothes and pants that you don't mind getting wet.

Overall, it was great to see both dolphins and turtles, and since it ended in the morning, we had the afternoon free for shopping or other activities. Having a Japanese guide made it very reassuring, even for those who don't speak English. Thank you very much.

朝が早いので、ご飯はあらかじめ買っておくのがベスト。空腹だと船酔いしやすくなるそうです。

バスの移動中に説明をされて、港に着いたらすぐに海に出ました。
ガイドさん曰く、出発が遅くなると他のツアーが先にいた場合待っていなくてはいけなかったりして時間を取られる分トライ回数が減ってその分イルカに出会える可能性が減るとのことでした。その点で、イルカ中学は人数が少なくさっと出られるので大学より有利とおっしゃっていました。逆に家族ずれはのんびりできるから大学の方がオススメと言っていました。

天気は快晴だったので５月でしたがウェットスーツは着用しませんでしたが特に寒いこともありませんでした。今回は参加者全員借りていませんでしたが特に問題なかったようです。
ただ、濡れた後に風が当たると寒いので、バスタオルと上着はすぐに出せるかばんを用意することをお勧めします。
昨晩雨が降ったせいで透明度は少し低かったですが、無事イルカを見ることができました。大体5-6匹で10m先を泳いでいました。ただしカメラはもっていきましたが、きれいに映すのはかなりむずかしいです。そこについてはプロのカメラマンがついてくれるので、写真自体は50＄ほどでもらうことが可能です。
イルカを見れた興奮のあまり、気づかない間に結婚指輪を落としてしまいカメラマンさんが拾ってくれなかったら大変なことになっていたので、指輪等はあらかじめ外しておくことをお勧めします。

イルカの後は少し浅瀬に移動してカメやさかなをみられました。こちらは泳ぎに自信がある人はライフジャケットを外してもよいとのことでした。
カメは息を吸うときしか水面に上がってきませんが、この日は運よく何回も間近でカメを見ることができました。

一息ついたところでスープとスニッカーズ的な奴とパイナップルを配ってくれます。特にパイナップルは甘くておいしいのでおすすめ。

シュノーケリングと言っても、潜水などは必要なく基本的に浮いているだけなので未経験者も心配ないです。
注意点としては、更衣室等はないので濡れてもいい上着とパンツを持ってきておくことをおすすめします。

総評としてはイルカもカメも見れて、午前中で終わるので午後は買い物など違うことができるし、日本ガイドなので英語ができなくても安心で非常に良かったです。
ありがとうございました。

3-Hour Waikiki Deluxe Turtle Snorkel Sail with Lunch - Hawaii Nautical

Snorkeling and Turtle Spotting with supplied lunch

Reviewed by: Mark

We were delighted with this activity.

Nick the Captain and his 2 crew were excellent hosts, safety conscious and went out of their way to make the cruise enjoyable for the 2 couples on board. Normally there would be a few more people on the cruise but we lucked it that day

The cruise consists of a 15-20 minute cruise in a catamaran to an area well off Waikiki Beach known as a spot where Turtles come to have parasites removed by fish.

We then went snorkeling (flotation vests supplied and mandatory to use). One of the 3 crew on board was in the water acting as a guide and safety person. He quickly located some turtles and directed us to them. We saw numerous turtles, some small, some larger in the water below us and on the surface.

After the snorkeling we had the supplied lunch, basic but adequate although the bread rolls were a bit stale. Free soft drinks and 2 free alcoholic drinks if you wanted them included.

Then the crew set the sails and we cruised around up towards Diamond Head before heading back to port. All up a great trip and worth doing, recommended.

I was very satisfied to meet the dolphins! イルカに会えて大満足！

Reviewed by: ami

It was my first trip to Hawaii, and I wanted to see dolphins and sea turtles, so I signed up for this tour. The meeting time was around 6 AM, which was tough because I was sleepy, but during the bus ride to the west coast, the guide kept sharing information about Hawaii and explaining about the dolphins, which made it enjoyable.

When we arrived at the harbor, there was an explanation about renting wetsuits. On the day I participated, about half of the people rented them. I rented one too, and I think it was the right decision. The sun was strong, and it was hot if you stayed still, but since we were going into the ocean, the wind on the boat was much colder than I expected. Other participants who didn't rent wetsuits kept saying they were cold, so I recommend renting one!

Shortly after we set off, we arrived at a spot where we could encounter dolphins! The guide mentioned that it was rare to see so many dolphins so quickly, but we encountered quite a large pod. At the same time, sea turtles were swimming nearby, and it was incredibly moving! They were really cute!

Unfortunately, the plan to play on the boat was suddenly canceled due to high waves, which was disappointing, but I still had a great time! The lunch hamburger was delicious, but it was a bit disappointing that it was served cold since it was pre-made. I understand that this can't be helped, though...

Overall, I was very satisfied, and it became a wonderful memory!

初めてのハワイ旅行だったので、イルカやウミガメが見たい！と思って申し込みました。
朝6時頃の集合になるので眠くて大変でしたが、西海岸への往路のバスでは担当の方がずーっとハワイのガイドやイルカの説明などをしてくれて楽しめました。
ハーバーに到着する際にはウェットスーツのレンタルについて説明がありましたが、わたしが参加した日は半分位の方がレンタルしていました。わたしもレンタルしましたが、これはレンタルして正解だったと思います。日差しが強く、じっとしていれば暑いのですが、なんせ海に入りますし風を切って走る船上は想像以上に寒いです。レンタルしなかった他の参加者の方は「寒い」とずっと言っていたので、レンタルされることをお勧めします！
出発してから間も無く、イルカに出会えるスポットに到着！こんなに早くたくさんのイルカに出会えるのは珍しいとガイドさんも言っていましたが、かなりたくさんのイルカの群れに出会えました。また同時にウミガメも近くで泳いでおり、すごく感動しました！本当に可愛かったです！
この日は波が高く、ボート？で遊ぶ予定が急遽中止になってしまい残念でしたが、十分に楽しめました！
ランチのハンバーガーも美味しくいただきましたが、作ってあるものを食べるので冷めた状態なのが少し残念でした。これは仕方ないと思いますが…
全体的には大満足で、とても良い思い出になりました！

Encountered a pod of 30 dolphins! 30頭のイルカの群れと遭遇！

Reviewed by: aki

The pickup time is at 6 AM. Please gather wearing your swimsuits.

Since we were staying at the Hilton Hawaiian Village, the pickup location was in front of the Ilikai Hotel next to the Hilton. It's easy to find as it's also a trolley stop.

A little earlier than the scheduled time, a small yellow bus, resembling a school bus, arrived. We boarded this bus and headed to the west coast, taking about an hour from Honolulu.

To quickly get out to sea from the harbor, the staff member on the bus provided us with important information and instructions. Although it was early in the morning, there was no time to sleep on the bus.

Regarding equipment, since the water is cold and those who are not good swimmers might find it easier to float in a wetsuit, we rented one for $10. Most of the tour participants rented wetsuits as well.

The dolphins we can see in this area are the Hawaiian spinner dolphins. They are named for their spinning jumps. They are about 1.8 meters long, smaller than the bottlenose dolphins often seen in aquariums, and they have a black coloration from their heads to their backs.

Upon arriving at the harbor, we put on our wetsuits and quickly boarded the Zodiac. After about 10 to 20 minutes of searching for dolphins, we spotted a group of around 30!

We positioned the boat ahead of the direction the pod was swimming and waited. When we saw the dolphins' dorsal fins, we all jumped into the water together at the signal.

This was my first time snorkeling so far out, and I’m not a strong swimmer.

I was really scared before jumping in, but...

It was absolutely fine!!

As long as you listen carefully to the staff and follow their instructions calmly, there's nothing to worry about. The snorkeling gear we used was good, and I didn’t get any water in my eyes or mouth.

When the staff member called out, "Look down!" and I peered below, I could see a group of dolphins swimming beneath us!!

That day, we tried four times and saw dolphins every time. Moreover, the captain skillfully positioned us at a spot with clear water. Truly a legend.

By the fourth time, I was able to see them up close, almost within reach. I didn’t notice it while snorkeling, but later when I reviewed the video from my waterproof camera, I was surprised to find that it even captured the sounds of the dolphins. It was a truly precious experience to get a glimpse into the lives of wild dolphins.

By the way, due to strong winds that day, snorkeling in shallow waters was not possible because the water was murky. If you are mainly considering snorkeling in shallow waters, it might be good to keep in mind that it could be canceled depending on the day.

Finally, we returned to the boat and enjoyed some fruit and warm tea, and we had the remaining snacks (pastries, juice, cheese, granola bars) after getting back on the bus. On the return bus, there was an announcement about the sale of photo data taken by a professional photographer. I purchased some photos, and they beautifully captured the scenes during the briefing and the dolphins we saw that day.

Personally, I would have loved to hear more detailed information about the ecology and population of Hawaiian spinner dolphins, as well as the relationship between Hawaiians and dolphins.

For those who want to swim with dolphins for the first time, I truly think this is a fantastic activity. Thank you for the valuable experience.

ピックアップ時刻は朝6時。水着を着用した上で集合です。

私たちはヒルトン・ハワイアン・ヴイレッジに宿泊していたのでピックアップ場所はヒルトンの側のイリカイホテルの前。
トロリーの停留所にもなっているので、分かりやすいです。

時刻よりやや早く、スクールバスのような黄色い小型のバスが到着。このバスに乗って、ホノルルから1時間程かけて西海岸まで向かいます。

港から素早く海に出れるようにと、バスの中でお姉さんが注意事項などの説明をしてくださいます。朝早いですがバスで寝ている暇はありません。

装備については水が冷たいのと、泳ぎが得意でない方はウェットスーツを来た方が浮きやすいということで$10でレンタルをしました。ツアー利用者のほとんどがレンタルをしていました。

この地域で見られるイルカはハワイアンスピナードルフィンという種。ジャンプするときにスピンすることからこの名前がついているそうです。
サイズは水族館でよくみるバンドウイルカより小さい1.8m程で頭から背中にかけて黒くなっています。

港へ着くとウェットスーツを着て、早速ゾディアックに乗り込みます。
イルカを探しながら進むこと10～20分くらいたったでしょうか、30頭ぐらいのグループを発見！

群れの泳ぐ方向へ先回りして船でスタンバイ。イルカの背鰭が見えてきたら合図と共にみんなで一斉に海へ飛び込みます。

私はシュノーケリングをこんなに沖でやるのは初めて。しかも、泳ぎも不得意。

飛び込む前までは凄く怖かったのですが。。。

全く問題ありませんでした！！

お姉さんの話をよく聞いて落ち着いてその通りに動けば何も心配はいりません。
使ったシュノーケリングの器具もよかったのか、目や口に水が入ってくることもありませんでした。

「真下を見てー！」というお姉さんの声で下を覗きこむと何匹ものイルカの群れが泳いでいるのが見れました！！

この日は4回トライし、4回ともイルカを見ることができました。しかも、水の濁りも少ないポイントで待ち伏せてくれた船長の腕は確かなものです。さすがレジェンド。

4回目にいたっては手が届きそうなほど間近で見ることができました。
シュノーケリング中は気づかなかったのですが、後で防水カメラのムービーを見返したら、なんとイルカの鳴き声まで収録されていてビックリ。
野生のイルカの生活を覗かせてもらうことができた本当に貴重な経験でした。

ちなみに、この日は風が強かったため海が濁っているということで浅瀬でのシュノーケリングは無しでした。
浅瀬でのシュノーケリングをメインで考えられている方は、日によっては無くなるケースがあることも想定しておいた方がいいかもしれません。

最後に船にもどりフルーツと温かい紅茶をいただいて、残りの軽食（菓子パン・ジュース・チーズ・グラノーラバー）はバスに戻ってからいただきました。
帰りのバスでプロの写真の方が撮影した写真データの販売案内があります。写真を購入したのですが、レクチャー中の風景や当日に見たイルカの写真までとってもきれいに獲れていました。

あと、個人的にはハワイアンスピナードルフィンの生態や生息数、ハワイアンとイルカの関わりなどについてもっと詳しい話が聞ければもっと嬉しかったです。

初めてだけどイルカと一緒に泳ぎたいという方には本当にとてもいいアクティビティーだと思います。貴重な経験をありがとうございました。

I highly recommend this experience as you can see sea turtles and tropical fish up close. Since you'll be in the water for quite a while, it's a good idea to bring a hoodie or something to keep warm. There are no lockers available, so you'll need to put your belongings in a box with everyone else's, so I suggest bringing only the essentials like some money (for purchasing DVDs, etc.) and a bath towel.

ウミガメ、熱帯魚が超まじかで見れる貴重な体験ができるのでお勧めです。水につかる時間が結構あるので体が冷えないようにパーカー等を持って行かれることやロッカーがなくボックスに荷物を皆と一か所に入れるので必要最低限のお金(DVD等を購入するため)やバスタオルくらいを携帯することをお勧めします。

I had almost no experience with snorkeling, but I wanted to see dolphins up close, so I participated alone. Despite my age and the fact that I usually only do desk work, I was a bit worried about my physical fitness, but being optimistic by nature, I joined in on a whim, and it was really great. I felt so moved!! It became the best memory of my trip to Hawaii. I also think that being able to speak Japanese helped me participate with peace of mind. The burger I had on the boat was delicious, and I truly had a wonderful time.

シュノーケリングの経験もほとんど皆無だったけど、イルカを真近に見たくて一人で参加しました。高年齢もさることながら日頃デスクワークしかしていないので　体力的な心配もありましたが楽天的な性格なので、ノリで参加しましたが凄く良かったです。すごい感動を覚えました！！ハワイ旅行の中で一番の思い出になりました。日本語が話せた事も　安心して参加できた事だと

I had heard that the chance of seeing them was 90 percent, but there was a thrilling tension about whether we would actually see them. The staff worked hard to find a pod of dolphins, and we were able to swim close to wild dolphins!

After that, we enjoyed our time with activities like stand-up paddleboarding, canoeing, and snorkeling! For lunch, we had homemade cheeseburgers, and we also got to enjoy sweet cut pineapple☆ Finally, we all came together for a hula dance with the staff and all the tour participants!

First wild dolphins. 初めての野生イルカ

Reviewed by: イルカ

On my third trip to Hawaii, I finally participated in the long-awaited dolphin tour. I was thrilled to encounter a large group of dolphins right after we set sail. It was truly exciting to see them, as it all depends on luck.

As for the tour details, we took a dedicated bus early in the morning and learned about Hawaii and dolphins for about an hour until we reached our destination. After that, we got on the boat and prayed in Hawaiian to see the dolphins. Once we spotted them, we dove right in, moved to different locations for snorkeling and marine sports, and had lunch on the boat. It was quite packed with activities.

However, with so many participants, everything felt like a conveyor belt. It was more about seeing the dolphins underwater than swimming with them, which was different from what I had expected.

They didn’t teach us how to swim or anything. They only signaled us to look underwater when the dolphins came.

It was disappointing, considering how many dolphins we saw.

At the snorkeling point, they were feeding the fish, which was shocking for me as a diver. However, the participants were excited because a honu came close and there were plenty of fish.

The view from the boat was uniquely Hawaiian and very nice.

The burgers and juice for lunch were not tasty, but the warm tea was good.

The return bus ride felt very commercial. It created an atmosphere for buying photos, which were expensive.

Overall, while the schedule was sufficient, the content felt like a conveyor belt, which was disappointing. It might have been better with fewer participants. Paying $150 per person for this is high. I won’t participate again.

Although I got to see the dolphins and they created a fun atmosphere, it was still a bit disappointing. There was no request for tips.

３回目のハワイ旅行で初めて、念願のイルカツアーに参加しました。
出航して直ぐにイルカの大群に遭遇でき大興奮しました。
会えるかどうかは運なので、会えて本当に嬉しかったです。

ツアーの内容としては
早朝から専用のバスに乗って、一時間ほど目的地につくまでハワイやイルカについて教えていただき
そのあと船にのってイルカにあえるようハワイ語で祈ります。
イルカを見つけたらそのままダイブ
場所を移動しシュノーケルとマリンスポーツ
船の上で昼食
と盛りだくさんでした。

でも、参加人数が多く全てが流れ作業
イルカと泳ぐというよりかは、水中でイルカを見るといった感じで思ってた感じとは違うかな～

泳ぎ方など一切教えてくれません
イルカが来たら水中を見ることだけ合図で教えてくれます。

あんなにたくさんのイルカに会えたのに残念。

シュノーケルポイントは魚にエサを与えていたので、ダイバーとしてはショックでした。
ホヌが近くまで来て魚もたくさんいたので参加者のみなさん興奮してました。

ボートから見る景色はハワイならでわでとてもよかったです。

昼食のバーガーとジュースはおいしくないです。
あったかいお茶は美味しかった。

帰りのバスは営業感満載でした。
写真を買う雰囲気にさせます。
高いです。

全体的に、スケジュールは充分なのに内容は流れ作業で残念。
少人数だったらよかったかな。
これで１人150ドルは高いです。
もぅ参加はしないです。

イルカに会えたし楽しい雰囲気を作ってくれるのに少し残念。
チップの請求はなかったです。

Reviewed by: MIO

The morning gathering was very early, but the guide explained everything in a lively manner, making the bus ride enjoyable. However, since all the necessary information was provided on the bus, I thought it might be better to use a microphone, as there were times when it was hard to hear.

We boarded the boat at the port and set sail. On the day I went, I was very lucky and was able to see a pod of dolphins about ten minutes after leaving the port, and I also spotted two turtles. When we found the dolphins, we went ahead, and at the captain's signal, we jumped into the sea. The water was incredibly clear, and you could see the bottom. Watching the dolphins swim effortlessly right next to us was truly beautiful, and I couldn't take my eyes off them. When we found another pod of dolphins, the instructor swimming with us gave directions like "toward the mountains" and "out to sea," and we swam in that direction. After swimming for a while, we got back on the boat and repeated the process at different points. According to the explanation, there are times when it’s hard to find dolphins, and you might swim for a longer time. I thought that could be tough for those without much stamina, so I was glad we saw them quickly.

Throughout the trip from the port to the boat and back, a photographer was with us, taking commemorative photos and capturing beautiful shots of the dolphins and turtles. On the return bus, they provided information about purchasing the photos, so I felt we didn't have to force ourselves to take pictures during the tour.

When we got out of the water, they had cookies and cheese prepared, but since it was cold, the warm tea was the most delicious. It was the end of May, and I was glad I wore a wetsuit. I thought it would be chilly with the wind on my wet body while moving on the boat.

Overall, it was a very satisfying tour. Thank you very much to all the staff!

港でボートに乗りいざ出航。私が行った日は、とても運がよく、港を出て１０分ほどでイルカの群れに会うことができ、カメも２匹は見ることができました。イルカの群れを見つけたら、先回りして、船長の合図で海に飛び込みます。海はすごくきれいで、底が見えるほどでした。自分たちがいるところのすぐそばをイルカがすいすい泳いでいく様子は、本当にきれいで、目が離せませんでした。また新たなイルカの群れを見つけたら、一緒に潜っているインストラクターが「山のほう」「沖のほう」と指示を出してくれ、そちらに泳ぎます。しばらく泳いだらボートに上がり、また違うポイントで海に入って泳ぎ…を繰り返しました。説明によると、なかなかイルカの群れに会えず、もっと長い時間泳ぐこともあるそうです。体力がない人にはそれは大変だなぁと思いました。すぐ見れてよかった。
港からボートに乗りまた港に帰ってくるまで、ずっとカメラマンさんがいてくれます。ちょこちょこ記念撮影をしてくれ、イルカやカメの写真もとてもきれいに撮ってくれています。帰りのバスで、写真購入の案内をしてくれるので、ツアー中は無理に自分たちで写真を撮らなくても大丈夫だと思いました。
海から上がったときには、クッキーバーやチーズを用意してくれていますが、寒いので温かいお茶が一番おいしかったです。５月末でしたが、ウェットスーツを着用してよかったです。海から上がったあと、ボートで移動するときは濡れた体に風が当たり、寒くなると思うので…。
全体的には大満足のツアーでした。スタッフの皆さん、本当にありがとうございました。

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＞

To the best memories. 最高の思い出に

Reviewed by: maamu

I participated with ten colleagues. While I slightly regretted not choosing the ranch tour instead of the dolphin cruise, it turned out to be the right choice.

Waking up early was tough, but I took motion sickness medication and wore a seasickness wristband (which I bought on the bus for $20, thinking it would be worth it if I could use it multiple times), and I felt great. The weather was nice, and we encountered dolphins early on. Although they sometimes swim away, they came quite close, allowing us to see them well. After that, we were able to swim near a large turtle, which was an amazing experience.

Before swimming, we sang a song to pray for safety and threw flowers together. The crew's singing and Hawaiian dance were also great, and the hamburgers and chips we had on the boat were delicious. I found the chips at the airport on the way back and bought some as souvenirs.

On the last day, I arranged to meet with one of the crew members, Mai, to experience yoga in the park. I definitely want to go back to Hawaii to see the dolphins again. I highly recommend it!

　仕事仲間１０人で参加しました。牧場ツアーとドルフィンクルーズのどちらかを選ぶ時に牧場にすれば良かったかなと少々、後悔しながらの参加でしたが、こちらにして正解でした。
　朝早いのは辛かったのですが、酔い止め薬も飲み、船酔いのリストバンド（２０ドル、何回でも使えるなら良いかと思ってバスで購入）も良かったのか体調もばっちりで、お天気も良く、早い段階でイルカに遭遇でき、逃げてしまう事もあるそうですが、近寄ってくるぐらい近くまできて、しっかり見ることができました。その後、大きな亀さんとも蹴ってしまいそうなぐらい近くで泳ぐ事もでき、本当に良い体験ができました。
　泳ぐ前に無事を祈る歌を歌ってお花をみんなで投げたり、クルーの方の歌やハワイアンダンスも良かったし、船の上で食べたハンバーガーもチップスも美味しくて、チップスは帰りに空港で見つけて、お土産に買って帰りました。
　クルーの一人のmaiさんとは、最終日にヨガの待ち合わせをして、公園でヨガも体験する事ができました。
　また、ハワイに行ったら、イルカに会いに行きたいと思います。本当にお薦めです。

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 worst. 最悪

Reviewed by: RINA

The underwater scooter experience was very valuable and fun. When we went to the sandbar, someone there said they would take pictures and send them to us later, but we received nothing! When I inquired, they said they didn't take any pictures, making it seem like I was lying. That was the worst. Even after they dropped us off at the place to return by boat, we weren't given any instructions on what to do next, and everyone was confused. I understand they want tips, but I wish they had been more thorough until the end. It's really disappointing, especially since the underwater scooter was so enjoyable.

水中スクーターはとても貴重な体験で楽しかったです。サンドバーに行った時そこにいた人が写真を撮ってくれて後で送ってあげると言われたのに何も無し！！問い合わせてもそんな写真撮ってないと言われあたしが嘘ついているかのような対応。最低です。船で帰る場所に下ろしてもらえたあともどうするか指示されず皆さん困っていました。チップ欲しいのはわかるが最後までしっかりして欲しかったです。水中スクーターが楽しかっただけにとても残念です

イルカ中学　野生のイルカ＆ウミガメシュノーケリングクルーズ　高速ボートでイルカ遭遇率アップ！＜少人数制／ワイキキ＆コオリナ送迎可／日本語／ランチ付き＞

Hello to the dolphins and sea turtles! イルカもウミガメもこんにちわ！

Reviewed by: 小岩村

I was so excited! When Julie signaled us to "look down!", I put my face in the water with the snorkel and saw a school of about 50 dolphins swimming slowly by. Hello! There were even some smaller dolphins. While I was watching, I didn’t realize I was being swept away, and when I lifted my head, I thought, "Oh no, where did everyone go?" Since I’m not confident in my swimming, I was able to borrow a floating ring to hold onto, which made me feel safe entering the ocean. It was very early in the morning, so I got hungry, and I was really grateful for the bread, drinks, and fruit provided by the staff. Thank you very much! The water in Hawaii is said to have different minerals, and even after getting out of the ocean, it felt strangely refreshing and not sticky. I could ride the bus back without needing a shower, just drying off with a towel.

Actually, I went dolphin watching on the Big Island four years ago. I couldn’t forget how much fun it was, so I wanted to try it on Oahu this time, and it was just as I expected. I’m happy to have had my picture taken; it became a wonderful memory.

もう大興奮です。ジュリさんの【下を見て～！】の合図でシュノーケルで水面に顔を付けると５０頭くらいはいる群れで、ゆっくり泳いできます。こんにちわ！少し小さい子供のイルカもいました。見ているうちに自分が流されていることに気が付かなくて、顔あげたらあれ～みんなは何処？ってことにもなります。泳ぎに自信が無いので、つかまるタイプの浮き輪も借りれますので、安心して海に入れます。朝がとても早かったのでお腹が空いてしまって、スタッフからのパンや、飲み物・果物大変ありがたかったです。ありがとうございました。ハワイの海はミネラルが違うとかで海から上がっても不思議とサラリとしていてべとつきません。シャワーを浴びなくてもタオルドライだけでバスに乗って帰ってこれます。
実は４年前にハワイ島でイルカウォッチングしました。その時の楽しさが忘れられなくて、オアフ島でもやってみたくて今回申し込みしました。期待通りのツアーでした。写真撮ってもらってうれしいです。大変良い記念になりました。

Wild dolphins!! 野生のイルカ！！

Reviewed by: 戸田隼人

The main event we had planned for the last day of our stay in Hawaii. We gathered at a nearby hotel at 6:20 AM. I thought I would sleep on the bus, but staff member Julie kept the atmosphere lively with stories about Hawaii and dolphins, so I couldn't sleep at all. (laughs)

On the bus, they provide information about the day's schedule and tips for swimming with dolphins, so I recommend staying awake and listening intently.

As we approached the ocean, we were asked about renting wetsuits. The rental fee was $10, and all the women borrowed one. I had a desire to get a tan, so I didn't rent a wetsuit, but surprisingly, the sea breeze on the boat was strong, and the seawater wasn't that warm offshore, so I thought it might have been better to rent one.

Once we arrived at the port and changed into our swimsuits, we set off! We departed with about 25 participants and a crew of four, including the captain. Cruising with the wild mountains of Hawaii in the background while feeling the wind was incredibly pleasant—pure bliss. Just this alone was refreshing.

There seem to be various routes, but we first headed north to search for dolphins. After about 15 minutes of searching without success, we decided to head south. With information from other tour boats, we searched for about 40 minutes... and finally encountered a large pod of dolphins!

The atmosphere on the boat became frantic! I quickly put on my life jacket and snorkel. At the captain's signal of "GO!", all participants dove into the sea. At that moment, a group of about 30 dolphins approached us, swimming right beneath us. I couldn't help but shout "Wow!" underwater.

After that, we tried to predict the dolphins' path while swimming hard to get ahead of them. Even for someone like me who exercises regularly, it was quite intense, but if we didn't get ahead, we wouldn't see the dolphins, so everyone was swimming with great determination.

Fortunately, we were able to swim with the dolphins several times and returned to the boat feeling completely satisfied both physically and mentally. The thrill of encountering wild dolphins in the ocean is something you can't experience often, so I was really glad to have participated in the tour.

After returning to the port and changing, we headed back, but everyone was sound asleep in the car, likely due to exhaustion. (laughs) The car was a bit chilly, so please dress warmly on your way back.

With the cruising experience, the dolphin encounter, and the fun staff, it was a very satisfying last day in Hawaii. Thank you to all the staff!

ハワイ滞在の最終日に予定していたメインイベント。
朝早く6時20分に近くのホテルに集合です。バスの中で寝ようと思っていたのですが、スタッフのジュリーさんがハワイやイルカのお話で車内を盛り上げまくるので、一切寝られず。（笑）
バスの中で、1日のスケジュールやイルカと泳ぐ際のポイントを教えてもらえるので、寝ずに一生懸命聞くことをお勧めします。
海に近づくと、ウェットスーツの貸し出しを聞かれます。貸出料は10ドルでしたが、女性の方々は全員借りていました。私は日焼けをしたいという願望もあり、ウェットスーツは借りませんでしたが、案外と船上では海風が強く、海水も沖合ではそこまで温かくないので、借りても良かったかな〜と思いました。
港に着き、水着になったらいざ出発！25名ほどの参加者と、キャプテンをはじめとするクルー4名と共に出航です。
ハワイの野性味あふれる山々をバックに風を感じながらのクルージング。すごく気持ちよく、至福の一言。これだけでも、爽快です。
様々なコースがあるようですが、まずは北上し、イルカを全員で探します。15分ほど探しましたが、見つからない為、南下してみることに。他のツアー船からの情報も参考に、探すこと40分ほど、、、ついにイルカの大群とご対面！
慌ただしくなる船上！私も急いでライフジャケットとシュノーケルをセット。キャプテンのGO!という合図に参加者全員が海へダイブ。その瞬間、30頭位のイルカの群れが私たちに近づき、真下を通過していきました。
思わず、うぉ〜！と水中で叫んでしまいました。
その後は旋回するイルカの進路を予想しながら、先回りを試み、ハードに泳ぎます。普段運動している私でもかなりハードでしたが、先回りしないとイルカには会えないので、皆さん一心不乱に泳いでいました。
幸いにも、何度かイルカの大群と泳ぐことができ、心身ともに大満足で船に戻りました。
野生のイルカと海の中で出会った感動はなかなか味わうことが出来ないので、ツアーに参加出来て本当に良かったです。
港に戻り、着替えて帰路に着いたのですが、帰りの車内は、疲労困憊のせいもあり皆さん爆睡でした。（笑）
車内は少し冷えるので、暖かい格好でおかえりください。
クルージング気分あり、イルカとのご対面あり、楽しいスタッフの皆さんあり、大満足のハワイ最終日となりました。スタッフの皆さんありがとうございました！

アトランティス潜水艦ツアー　ハワイの海底30mを進む海中アドベンチャー ＜ヒルトン・ハワイアン・ビレッジ発／日本語ナレーション（要事前ダウンロード）＞

Hawaii at the end of the year 年末のハワイ

Reviewed by: ももちゃんアロハ

I took a ride on the Atlantis at the end of the year.

Before boarding, the staff took a photo with Diamond Head in the background. You can purchase that photo as a large print on the way back for $20 or more, and you can also share it for free using a URL. The photo frame was cute, so I recommend it.

Depending on the season, I wasn't able to see sea turtles or notable fish, which was disappointing. However, I enjoyed the underwater guidance from the local guide, whose Japanese was a bit shaky. The repeated phrase "Jinko no San Goshou" and the corny jokes stuck in my head throughout the trip, and I still laugh when I think about it.

Also, while waiting to board the submarine, there were quite a few Japanese people who were feeling seasick. The boat had vomit bags available, but for those who are prone to motion sickness, I think it would be better to take anti-nausea medication or find ways to avoid getting sick.

乗車前に、スタッフの方がダイヤモンドヘッドをバックに

I was able to see both dolphins and sea turtles clearly with my own eyes! I was especially thrilled to see the sea turtles up close and even swim with them. I also encountered a pod of dolphins several times, but they were too fast for me to get close… However, I could always hear their "kyu kyu" sounds, which was very soothing even when I got tired from swimming. I definitely want to participate again the next time I go to Hawaii.

イルカもウミガメも肉眼でしっかり見れました！
特にウミガメはかなり近くで見て、一緒に泳げたので、めちゃくちゃうれしかったです。
イルカも何度か群れに曹禺できたのですが、泳ぐのが早いため、近づく事はできませんでした…
ただ、「キュキュ」という鳴き声が常に聞こえてきてたので、泳ぎ疲れた時でもかなり癒されます♡
次にハワイに行く時も、必ず参加したいです。

An emotional experience☆ 感動の体験☆

Reviewed by: にょにょ☆

On the fourth day in Hawaii, we gathered at 6:25 AM.

Following reviews, it was a great decision to have breakfast beforehand. The weather was wonderful, and the breeze was pleasant, allowing us to participate without getting seasick.

On the bus ride there, there was so much explanation until we arrived that I couldn't sleep! (laughs) I participated in May, and it was a bit chilly, so I rented a wetsuit. The sea was quite cold, and even with the wetsuit, I felt cold.

About 20 minutes after departure, we spotted wild dolphins near Aulani! There were nearly 50 in the pod. When we signaled to dive, I could hear their squeaks underwater. From that point on, it was a dolphin parade! Every time I heard a squeak, I looked around, and there was a dolphin right below me! It was so moving! I even saw a baby dolphin, and I could clearly see the color of their skin!

After that, we headed to a turtle spot, but unfortunately, we didn't see any... Instead, we encountered dolphins again. (laughs)

I made one basic mistake… (T_T) Before diving into the sea, the battery of my waterproof camera died… What a shock!!

It seems that swimming with dolphins is already banned on some islands in Hawaii, and it's only a matter of time for Oahu as well. It's a very valuable experience, so I highly recommend it! And when I go to Hawaii again, I will go back to graduate from middle school once more! Thank you very much.

My husband and I went on this cruise on one of the last days of our vacation. We did not see any whales or dolphins, but we still had a fantastic time! Since we did not see any whales we received a voucher for a free cruise for both of us. The crew was very knowledgeable and energetic. My only wish was that we would have picked to do this cruise earlier in our vacation so we could have used the voucher for the return cruise to hopefully see some whales.

I met Teacher Dolphin and Senior Sea Turtle (＾－＾) イルカ先生と海がめ先輩に逢えた（＾－＾）

Reviewed by: ここそら

I had always dreamed of swimming in a sea with dolphins, so I decided to enroll in Dolphin University, which offers many activities.

The meeting time was early, just past 6 AM, and while I felt a bit sleepy, I was excited.

On the bus, the Japanese staff provided explanations in Japanese about safety precautions in case of emergencies and how to use the snorkeling masks, which was reassuring.

I also learned how to deal with seasickness, and then we set sail! The sea breeze was cold during the ride, so I recommend bringing a jacket. Also, since the boat gets quite wet, it's essential to either bring a bag that can get wet or waterproof gear.

The sea was truly beautiful, with incredibly high visibility underwater! We set off on the boat and performed a ceremony to pray for the safety of E Ho Mai, releasing plumeria flowers into the sea. It was a blessed day with perfect weather. We encountered a lot of dolphins unexpectedly. I had heard that seeing wild dolphins depends on luck, but I was fortunate. I am grateful for such a wonderful day, and I even got to see a sea turtle.

Snorkeling was thrilling as I saw many beautiful fish.

The staff entertained us by diving and making bubble rings. On the way back to the boat harbor, we enjoyed hamburgers, snacks, and drinks. It seemed that the equipment was malfunctioning that day, so we didn't have hula, but it was still very fulfilling.

I received a bag as a substitute for a diploma and headed home. It was truly a fun time. Ahalo!

イルカのいる海で泳ぐのが憧れでしたのでアクティビティが多いイルカ大学に入学を決めました。

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

Lying is not good. 嘘はだめ

Reviewed by: よっぴ

The 8:00 pickup was delayed, so when I called, they answered in English. The voucher stated that both English and Japanese support were available, but when I asked for a Japanese speaker, I was told there wasn't one. After waiting for a while, I was picked up, but upon arriving at the information center, I was told, "Let's go on the boat!" within a minute, without any instructions on how to operate the Sea Bob. I was left feeling anxious and confused.

The weather was rainy and extremely cold, and despite the voucher stating that warm coffee and tea would be provided, we were given ice-cold water. While the weather is no one's fault, it was freezing, and the pickup vehicle had the air conditioning on full blast, making me shiver the entire time.

Since I was the first to finish, I had to wait for the last group to finish while enduring terrible boat swaying. I was told that snorkeling was an option, but that was the least of my concerns. Although it was stated that we would have 15 minutes on the Sea Bob, it was less than 10 minutes.

I believe it was a valuable experience, and the underwater scenery was beautiful, and I even saw a sea turtle. However, since the experience was heavily affected by the weather, I discussed with other Japanese participants that the price was too high for what we received, especially considering the additional cost for photos.

8:00ピックアップが遅れたので電話をすると英語で出ました。バウチャーには英語、日本語対応と書いてありJapanese speaker pleaseと言ったところいないと言われた。
しばらく待ってピックアップされたが案内所について1分でさあ、船で行こう！とシーボブについての操作方法をなにも聞かされていないのにも関わらず君たち1番に行ってと言われて何もわからず不安しかなかった。
天気は雨でものすごく寒かったしこちらもバウチャーに暖かいコーヒー紅茶用意してあると書かれていたにも関わらずキンキンに冷えた水。
天気はだれのせいでもないのだが極寒で、ピックアップの車も冷房がすごく、終始震えていました。
1番に終わったのでその後最後の方々が終わるまで酷い船揺れの中ひたすら待っていた。
シュノーケリングもできるよと言われたがそれどころではない。
シーボブも15分回れると書いてあったにもかかわらず10分もなかった。
貴重な体験を出来たと思うし海の中は綺麗で海亀も会えました。
しかし天気に左右されまくったので写真代別でこの値段は高すぎると同じ日本人参加者と話していました。
