3-Hour West Coast Dolphin Watch & Snorkel Cruise, Lunch, Drinks & Transportation

So much fun!! The Best Snorkel Tour!

Reviewed by: mblock

I went out with my brother and it was our first time going to the West Side. we absolutely loved it!

The vessel is brand new and it comfortably accommodates all guest. The crew is very knowledgeable and professional, after the safety briefing they served us a continental breakfast, with a nice variety of fresh fruits and cakes.

By the moment we left the harbor we could already see lots of wild Hawaiian dolphins swimming close to the boat. We were lucky enough to even spot 4 humpback whales, if you are visiting the Island during the winter months you will have big chances of seeing them also.

We've stopped at Makaha Caverns to snorkel. It's absolutely beautiful! The guide was swimming with us around the area and we surrounded by turtles and beautiful colorful fishes.

Lunch was served right after snorkel time, we could make our own sandwiches and choose from barbecue pork, tuna salad, deli meats, cheese, chips and pasta salad. Delicious!

It was a delightful morning, this snorkel tour was amazing! Definitely recommend Hawaii Nautical to everyone seeking for a good time in paradise!

Submarine Underwater Scooter Adventure & Turtle Snorkeling Tour from Hawaii Kai

Underwater Scooter - Great water experience!

Reviewed by: Marcio Rodrigues

My daughter told me about this tour when I was planing my trip to Hawaii. I booked it through hawaiiactivities.com website and I had no problems. They even called me one day prior to my activity to remind me of my pick up time and location.

The shuttle was there on time to pick me up and during the drive and took us the check-in location. After the safety briefing we started the tour.
The crew was really nice and informative. They are very professional and committed to provided us a unforgettable experience.

While waiting for our turn to go, we spend some time snorkeling and relaxing on the boat, Maunalua Bay is a paradise.

Once underwater you have a guide taking care of you during the whole time. It's so wonderful to see all the marine life coming right next to you, I saw dozens of colorful fishes and a lot of turtles.

The underwater scooter was for sure one of the coolest thing I have ever done.

Great for families with children! お子様連れに!

Reviewed by: mauru

I participated with my 5-year-old and 1-year-old children. It was a rare experience to interact with dolphins, and both of them were very happy. There aren't many activities available for children starting from 1 year old, so it was definitely the right decision to make a reservation from Japan. However, I had booked for 9:30, but for some reason, it was changed to 11:00 when I checked in on-site. I thought it might be related to not having a shuttle service and going by rental car, which made me a bit anxious. However, it actually allowed us to take a light look around the park before that, and we were able to navigate the park efficiently, so I recommend 11:00 for those who are going by rental car.

5歳と1歳の子供を連れて参加してきました。
イルカと触れ合うなんてなかなかできない体験で、二人ともすごく喜んでくれました。
1歳から参加できる、アクティビティはあまりないので、日本から予約をして参加して大正解でした。
ただ9:30で予約していましたが、現地でチェックインした際になぜか11:00に変更されてしまいました。今回送迎なしで、レンタカーで行った関係かなと思い、少し不安がありましたが、逆にそれまでにパーク内を軽く見ることができ、効率よくパークを回ることができたのでレンタカーで行かれる方は11:00がおすすめです。

Hawaii Shark Encounters - North Shore Shark Cage Diving Tour from Haleiwa

Awesome experience

Reviewed by: CLT

Could not have been better; we specifically chose this shark encounter since they book fewer people on the boat and it was just what I had in mind. We had 10 total on the boat. The captain and mate were both knowledgeable and professional but definitely made it fun. Took a few extra minutes to show us the whales also. Highly recommend these guys.

It was fun. 楽しかった

Reviewed by: a.m

During the bus ride, they talked about various things related to Hawaii, so I wasn't bored at all. I only saw a few dolphins, but it was still quite fun. We moved by boat in search of dolphins → spotted dolphins and jumped into the sea → chased and swam after the dolphins!! → moved by boat again → jumped into the sea and swam!! It was quite physically demanding with all that repetition.

バスの移動中から色々とハワイのことをお話してくださったりして退屈しませんでした。イルカはボチボチくらいしか見れませんでしたけど、まぁまぁ楽しかったです。船でイルカを求めて移動→イルカ発見で海へ→ひたすらイルカを追いかけ泳ぐ!!→また船で移動→海へ飛び込み泳ぐ!!の繰り返しで結構、体力的にしんどいです。

I was able to see a whale! ✨ クジラみれました✨

Reviewed by: Hideko

I was worried about seasickness, but since it was a large boat, I was completely fine, and the view of the hotels in Waikiki and Diamond Head from the sea was wonderful.

In the reviews, it mentioned that whales could only be seen from a distance, so I didn't have high expectations, but when we went out to sea and stopped the boat, a mother and baby whale swam right next to us, and we were able to see them up close. I was so moved when I saw them spouting water and their backs and tails that I couldn't help but cheer.

Since there was a campaign where one child could join for free with each adult, I was able to have this valuable experience at a great price, and I'm glad I participated in this tour.

船酔いが心配でしたが、大きな船だったのてぜんぜん大丈夫で、海側からのワイキキのホテル群やダイヤモンドヘッドの景色も素晴らしかったです。

口コミでは、遠くでしかクジラがみれなかったとあったのであまり期待はしてなかったのですが、沖にでて船を停めてると親子のクジラが船のすぐそばを泳いで行き間近でみれました。
潮を吹いて、背中、尾びれが見えた時は思わず歓声をあげてしまうほど感動しました。

大人一人につき子供一人無料のキャンペーンだったので、お得に貴重な体験をさせてもらいこのツアーに参加してよかったです。

I swam with dolphins. イルカと泳いだ

Reviewed by: cfu15270

I participated in this tour seeking to interact with dolphins. It’s a popular tour, and since there were no openings at my preferred time, I joined the 9:30 start course. However, we arrived at Sea Life Park after 9:30, and perhaps to shorten the program time, the distance we swam with the dolphins was shorter than expected, which was disappointing. (Those in the later program swam a longer distance with the dolphins.) Aside from that, I was satisfied to swim with the dolphins. Two dolphins pushed against the soles of my feet, and I was able to hold onto their dorsal fins while swimming. As a 55-year-old man, I felt a bit shy about kissing a dolphin. My wife took some great photos of the moment. The Royal Swim program is a bit pricey, but you can't swim with them in other programs. I recommend the later time slots.

イルカとのふれ合いを求めてこのツアーに参加しました。
人気ツアーで、希望時間に空きが無かったので、9:30スタートのコースに参加しましたが、シーライフパーク到着は9:30を過ぎてしまっており、プログラムの時間短縮を目指してなのか、イルカと泳ぐ距離が短かく残念でした。(遅い時間のプログラムの人は長い距離をイルカと泳いでいた。)
その点を除き、イルカと一緒に泳ぐことができ満足でした。
2頭のイルカが足の裏を押してくれたり、2頭の背びれにつかまって泳いだりできました。
55歳の男にとっては、イルカとキスをするのは照れました。写真は家内にしっかり撮ってもらいましたが・・・。
ロイヤルスイムのプログラムは少し高価ですが、その他では一緒に泳げません。遅い時間のプログラムがお勧めです。

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

Everything Hoped For -The Perfect Experience

Reviewed by: Susan

This was exactly what my husband and I had hoped for in a whale watching experience. By being on a sailing craft we were able to enjoy a sail as well as watching for those amazing humpback whales. The crew was fantastic and very informative. Our driver Shannon picked us up at our hotel and was delightful. Chad the captain of the catamaran was most interesting and had a lot to share about the island and the activities.
After hearing that Hawaii was the place to see the humpbacks during the winter months this was a "must do activity", we were not disappointed.
Great Experience - We would do it again.

It became a great memory. いい思い出になりました。

Reviewed by: ミキティ

The pickup was smooth without any waiting, and the boat was average. Since it was a no-meal course, my main goal was to see whales, but in the end, I could only see the whales' backs. The locals mentioned that there have been fewer sightings this year, and I didn't see any jumping. It's partly luck, and it's understandable since they are wild animals.

On the way back, I wanted to walk to downtown instead of taking the bus, so I communicated that to the driver, who kindly agreed and even guided me along the way.

ピックアップも待つことなくスムーズで船も普通で食事なしコースだったので鯨を見るだけが狙いでしたが…結局鯨の背中しか見ることができませんでした。今年は少なくジャンプしてる姿は見ていないと地元の方もおっしゃっていました。半分は運ですね。自然の生き物だから仕方ないですね。
帰りもバスに乗らず歩いてダウンタウンに行きたかったからドライバーさんに伝えると気持ちよくOKして道案内までしていただきました。

Just looking at Waikiki from the ocean, this price is a great deal! 沖からワイキキを眺めるだけでもこのお値段はお得!

Reviewed by: sakko

I participated on March 9. While I didn't see any spectacular jumps from the whales, I was able to catch glimpses of their backs and tails. I originally joined with the mindset of "It would be nice to enjoy the view of Waikiki from the ocean while also seeing some whales," so I was satisfied to see the beautiful scenery from offshore and get a close look at the whales. It was also great to see Diamond Head from a direction I had never seen before.

I chose a plan without meals, but since the boarding time wasn't very long, it felt like a waste to spend time eating, so I think it was a good choice. The price with transportation included is very reasonable, and I was glad to make good use of my morning. I recommend bringing binoculars.

3月9日に参加しました。
クジラそのものは豪快なジャンプが見られたわけではなく、背中や尻尾をみることができたくらいではあったのですが、元々「船に乗って沖からワイキキを眺め、ついでにクジラも見られるといいな」というくらいの気持ちで参加したので、沖合からの素敵な景色も見られてクジラも近くで見ることができて満足でした。
ダイヤモンドヘッドも見た事のない方向から見ることができてよかったです。
食事なしのプランを選びましたが、乗船時間があまり長くはなく食事をしている時間はもったいないような気がしますので、これでよかったのではないかと思います。
送迎付きでこのお値段はとてもお得ですし、午前中の時間を有意義に使えたので参加してよかったです。
双眼鏡を持って行くことをお勧めします。

I couldn't see any whales... クジラが見られず.....

Reviewed by: たくゆう

I booked a whale watching tour on the last day of March. The boat itself seemed to have little rocking, and it looked like those participating in wheelchairs were comfortable. There were plenty of observation spots on the deck, and the weather was nice, so I had high hopes, but unfortunately, we didn't encounter any whales. The guide even came to let us know that we could try again that afternoon or on another date, but I had to decline this time due to scheduling constraints. I hope to try again someday.

3月の最終日にホエールウォッチングを申し込みました。
船自体は揺れも少なかったように思います。車椅子で参加されている方も快適にされているように見えました。
デッキでの観察場所も十分ありお天気も良かったので期待しましたが、残念ながらクジラには出会えませんでした。
ガイドの方がわざわざ同日午後や別日程で再チャレンジできることも伝えに来て下さったのですが、今回は日程に余裕がなく断念しました。いつか再チャレンジしてみたいと思います。

I love this catamaran, we sat on front of boat most of the time. We saw great views of the ocean, harbor, beach, diamond head,

The captain and crew were very friendly and knowledgeable. They provided us free snack and soft drinks, you can get beer if you pay $1 that is good deal.
The captain gave us a free ride ticket because we did not see whales. So, we definitely come back to tour again when we come back to Hawaii!!
I also satisfied customer service of Hawaii activities when I book this tour. They also called me for remind the tour the day before,which is help us.

Best whale watch in Honolulu

Reviewed by: Unju Rogers

This is by far the best whale watch in Honolulu. I've been on both Navatek and Star of the Sea whale watches and they do not compare to the experience you get with this whale watch. The catamaran is very clean and the crew was great! They were not only observant to everyone's safety on board they were hilarious! My family (including a two year old toddler) had an amazing time. I was very fortunate to have found this activity through Veltra. I was hosting a friend who had never been on a whale watch and it was an amazing experience. We chose the late morning tour and it was perfect. The boat went out and the crew was able to find whales within 30 minutes from take off. There were an estimated 5 male humpback whales swimming together and we circled them while they dove. They were so magnificent and during the time we were watching them the crew members told us much about their behaviors. they told us why it wasn't unusual that a group of males would be traveling together and they also told us what would've been different if we had spotted a mama and her calf. Although none breached out of the water we saw them come to the surface many times. It was so amazing to see so many of them at once! At one point we saw all five come to the surface and blow water from their backs at the same time. Talk about a magical vacation moment!

I'd book this again in a heartbeat!!

Dolphins are the best!! イルカサイコー!!

Reviewed by: (☆∀☆)

I participated at the end of February! Waking up early in the morning was tough, but there were so many dolphins that it was incredibly moving!! I was told that if you stop breathing through the snorkel, you can hear the dolphins, but there were so many dolphins that even while breathing normally, I could constantly hear their sounds!

Unfortunately, the waves were too high, so we couldn't do any marine sports, and the speaker broke, so we couldn't do the hula dance either. We were sent back to the hotel 1 hour and 30 minutes earlier than planned. I was happy to see a lot of dolphins, swim with turtles, and even see whales, although they were far away, but I wonder about the schedule not being adjusted despite the issues? Because of that, I didn't leave a tip.

I understand it's a business, but $60 for the photo CD is expensive! My friend wanted it, so I ended up buying it, but it's disappointing that we had to pay a high price for a CD that included other people besides us. I was advised not to take a camera while snorkeling with the dolphins, so I left it behind, but now I regret not bringing it.

朝早くから起きるのは大変でしたが、イルカがこれでもか!?っと言うほどいっぱいいて、超感動!!

残念なのは、波が高すぎて、マリンスポーツをやれず、またスピーカーが壊れてしまい、フラダンスも出来ず、予定より1時間30分早くホテルに帰されてしまいました。イルカもいっぱい見れて、亀と泳ぎ、遠かったけどクジラも見れてHAPPYでしたが、色々とスケジュールが抜けてもそのまま、っていうのはどうなんだろ?

Thank you for using our services.
However, we sincerely apologize for the change in schedule due to poor wave conditions.
Upon confirming with the operating company, we were informed that many passengers experienced seasickness due to the unfavorable wave conditions on that day, which is why the schedule was moved up by 30 minutes.
Additionally, I believe our guide provided information regarding the schedule change, but it seems that it was not communicated clearly to you, and we are truly sorry for that.
Based on your valuable feedback, we will strive to provide services that will further enhance your satisfaction, and we appreciate your continued support.

Inside the submarine (especially at the feet), it was cold due to the air conditioning, so I thought it would be good for those who are sensitive to cold to have something to wear.

Next time, I want to take my parents with me.

潜水艦に乗るまでのクルーズも楽しかったですし、
潜水艦に乗ってから、波も穏やかで沢山の魚など見れて良かったです。
一瞬でしたが、ウミガメも泳いでるのがみれてラッキーでした。

潜水艦の中(特に足元)はクーラーで寒かったので、寒がりの人は
何か羽織るものがあれば良いかなっと思いました。

次回は親を連れて行ってあげたいです。

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

Great Activity, a couple whales and some dauphins.

Reviewed by: Gilles

we just went to this activity last Wednesday 8.30 am and it was great! We arrived a bit early and just took a walk around the park. very nice area. They have easy parking next to the Marina where you can park for $1.00/ hour. The crew on the cruise was very nice and made us feel welcome right away. We were only 6 on the cruise witch made it very intimate. I think that is one of the great advantages of the morning cruise, We took a drink and sat on the front nats until we saw turtle and dauphins and finally on the way back a couple whales. The whales were the least impressive as you stand far away and they don t really jump out of the water as you see on TV. It was one mother and one maybe and they basically just came up to the surface to breath every so often. Everything considering, this was a great way to spend morning. Maybe a bit overpriced but the crew and amenities were great.
Compare to the huge ships, I would choose this one every time just so you actually feel like you are on a boat .
Snacks could use improvement and the way back to marina was a bit rushed

イルカ大学 イルカウォッチング&シュノーケリングクルーズ イルカと泳ぐプランも!マリンアクティビティも充実<ランチ付き/日本語/ワイキキ&コオリナ送迎可>

The snorkeling is wonderful. シュノーケルが素晴らしい。

Reviewed by: Issy

First of all, it’s a coastal area, but since we go out into the open sea, it can get rocky. I got seasick, even though I’m usually fine with marine sports.

As for the dolphins, it seems that most of the approximately 30 participants were able to see them, but I couldn’t.

There were moments when they shouted, “The dolphins are over there! Jump in!” and “They’re over here! Jump in!” It didn’t feel like we were swimming together with them. When I desperately swam and looked around underwater, I could see them.

All the participants were Japanese. There were two staff members who could speak Japanese, and the others could mostly communicate as well. It was impressive to see the staff working hard to energize the somewhat reserved Japanese participants.

I was more impressed by the snorkeling than the dolphins. The water clarity was amazing!! It was about 10 meters deep, I think. The high transparency made it feel like I was flying in the sky, and the fish were beautiful, which was very moving. I’ve done snorkeling on other tours, but this one was by far the best!

The staff’s enthusiasm to help us see the dolphins and their desire to make it enjoyable was a very likable aspect of the tour.

まず、、、沿海ですが外海に出ますので揺れます。
そして酔います。普段からマリンスポーツでならしている私でも酔いました。

イルカですが、ツアー参加者30人程度の大多数が見れたようですが、
私は見れませんでした。

あっちにイルカが来た!それ飛び込め!、こっちにいる!飛び込め!
といった感じで飛び込みます。一緒に泳ぐという感じではないかな?
そして、必死に泳いで水中を見回すと見れるようです。

参加者は全員日本人。スタッフも日本語話せる方二人。その他の方もだいたい話せます。
ノリにくい日本人を必死に盛り上げるスタッフの姿が印象的。

私はイルカよりもシュノーケリングに感動しました。
水の透明度がすごい!!
水深10mくらいでしょうか。
透明度が高いのでまるで空を飛んでいるようで、魚もきれいで、とても感動しました。
他のツアーでもシュノーケリングしましたが
ここのがダントツです!

なんとかイルカを見てもらいたいというスタッフの熱意と
楽しませたいという思いが好感持てるツアーでした。

I felt healed. 癒やされました

Reviewed by: ポテトフライ

I was able to interact with dolphins for the first time. It's a rare experience that you can't easily have, and I can brag about it to my friends after returning to Japan. The price is high, but I think it's worth it. There's a huge difference between doing it and not doing it.

初めてイルカと触れ合えました。こんな貴重な体験はなかなか出来ないしにほんに戻った後も友達に自慢出来ます。料金は高いですがやる価値はあると思います。やるのとやらないのでは全然違いますよ

A bit disappointing. ちょっと期待外れ

Reviewed by: がっかりさん

I was disappointed because I had only seen the sea turtles once, despite reading experiences where people encountered them multiple times. Since we had to wear life jackets, I couldn't dive in, and I just watched them swim by, which felt anticlimactic.

It depends on the weather and the experience of the guide, so I understand that it's not always possible, but I had hoped to see them for a longer time. I think those who are not used to snorkeling might have seen even less.

Regarding the tip, I hadn't made any special requests, and there was no particular service provided, yet I was quite forcefully asked for a tip. I reluctantly paid, but it was the first time I had been asked for a tip on an optional tour. I was not satisfied with that.

  【何回もいるかに会えました】の体験談を読んでいたためか、一度しか見られなかったので、残念でした。ライフジャケットを着用しなければならなかったので、潜ってみることも出来ず、海の中を通り過ぎていくのを見ただけで、あっけなく終わってしまいました。
  当日の気候や、引率の方の経験に左右されるので、仕方のないことですが、もっとゆっくり見ていられると期待していました。シュノーケリングに慣れていない方は、もっと見られなかったと思います。
  それからチップに関してですが、、特別なお願いもしていませんでしたし、対応もされてなかったのですが、チップをかなり強引に求められました。仕方なく払いましたが、オプショナルツアーで、チップを求められたのは、初めてです。納得できませんでした。
