シュノーケリングクルーズ　イルカやウミガメに出会えるチャンスも！？選べる8時／12時出港プラン＜ハワイアンプレートランチ＆アルコール4杯付き／ワイキキ送迎あり＞

Am I the only Japanese person? 日本人は私が一人だけ?

Reviewed by: Markun

In Honolulu, where the COVID-19 situation is improving, I felt there were still few Japanese tourists. Nevertheless, I participated alone this time. We moved towards Ko Olina and boarded a lovely boat from the harbor. Without any rocking, we encountered a pod of dolphins after about 20 minutes. Then we moved to a snorkeling spot and had an encounter with a sea turtle. After returning to the boat, I enjoyed some drinks and lunch, even though I was alone. A few people, including the captain, spoke Japanese, which was considerate for me as a solo traveler. Since there are few Japanese tourists, it might be understandable, but I think the fast-paced English explanations would be quite challenging without strong language skills. If possible, I would have appreciated it if printed translations of the explanations in Japanese were provided. Overall, it was a satisfying tour.

コロナが収まりつつあるホノルルは、まだ日本人が少ない印象でした。
それでも今回は一人で参加させていただきました。
コオリナ方面へ移動して、ハーバーから素敵な船に乗船してさど揺れることなく移動して約20分でイルカの群れに遭遇しました。
それからシュノーケリングのポイントに移動してウミガメとの遭遇。
船に戻って一人でしたがお酒やランチで堪能しました。
船長をはじめ数人が日本語を話せたので一人旅の私に気遣っていただきました。
日本人が少ないので仕方ないかもしれませんが、早口の英語の説明はよほどの語学力がないと厳しいと思います。
可能であれば、説明の内容を日本語の和訳でプリントしたものを配布していただけるとありがたかったと思いました。
トータル的には満足したツアーでした。

My family and I had a blast on our snorkel trip. This was our first time doing anything like this and it was amazing. We were able to see lots of fishes and turtles. The water was so clear that it made it so easy to spot fish. The captain and his crew were very professional and helpful. We had a great group of families with us and made the trip that much better. On another note we were able to see one of the crew members catch a fish on our trip. Fun time. Recommend for everyone to try.

An incredibly valuable experience. めちゃくちゃ貴重な体験

Reviewed by: ゆちょぱ

Is there a submarine experience in Japan? The wrecks of ships and airplanes were incredibly impressive, and I was able to see sea turtles, which was wonderful! Perhaps due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there was no Japanese guide, and I got a bit lost along the way, but it turned out to be a very valuable experience!

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＞

It's a rip-off. There's no value for the high price. ぼったくり。高価な値段に対して価値は無い。

Reviewed by: hawa

I couldn't swim with the dolphins. I could only watch them swimming from the boat. I was really disappointed because I joined thinking I would be able to swim with them.

The website mentioned dolphin watching, but it was only on the top page, and the wording on other pages was ambiguous, leading me to believe I would be swimming close to the dolphins, but instead, I just watched them from the boat for a few minutes.

There are still videos on YouTube showing people swimming with dolphins, which feels misleading, like a promotional ad.

The snorkeling afterward had no corals or tropical fish at all; what were we supposed to see in such a barren sea? I was told by the crew that we would see turtles, but there were none. Other guests quickly got out of the water and seemed bored on the boat.

The only fun part was the slide, but paying 20,000 yen per person for this experience is way too high and not worth it. I've participated in various tours before, but this was the least satisfying and the most expensive.

The lunch was not tasty either. The optional photos, which are also quite expensive, are definitely not worth it. The pictures we took ourselves were much better, and since we couldn't swim with the fish, turtles, or dolphins, we ended up with photos of just floating in the sea or sitting on the boat.

I absolutely do not recommend this tour. I even wonder if they set such high prices because they are struggling with fewer customers. I regret not choosing a different tour.

イルカと一緒には泳げません。船の上からイルカが泳いでいるのを眺めるだけ。イルカと泳げると思い参加しただけに残念でなりません。
HPにはイルカウォッチングと記載がありましたが、TOPページに載っているのみで、他のページにはイルカと泳げる様な曖昧な書き方だった為、イルカの近くには行けないけど、見える距離で一緒に泳ぐのかなと思い参加しましたが、船の上から数分イルカを眺めるだけです。
YouTubeにもイルカと泳いでいる動画が未だに載せてあったり、誘導広告のようで、紛らわしいです。
その後のシュノーケルは珊瑚も熱帯魚も全くおらず、何も居ない海で何を見ろと言うのでしょうか？
亀と会えると搭乗員から言われていたのに、亀も居ない。他のお客さんも早々に海から上がりつまらなそうに船でしてました。
唯一滑り台だけが面白かったですが、これで1人２万円の料金は高すぎて割に合わない。今まで色々なツアーに参加しましたが1番満足度が低く、高額でした。
お弁当も美味しくない。オプションで付けられる、これまた高額な写真は絶対に付けない方がいい。自分達で撮った方がよっぽど良い写真ばかりで、魚も亀もイルカとも泳げないので、ただ海に浮いてるだけ、船に座ってるだけの写真です。
こちらのツアー絶対にオススメしません。
客が少なくなり、経営厳しいからなのか、こんなに内容と見合っていない高額な金額設定にしているのではないかとさえ思います。違うツアーにすれば良かったと後悔です。

マリンスポーツパッケージ　4つのアクティビティ（カヤック、SUP、トランポリン、ウォータースライダー）とシュノーケリングが遊び放題！貸切プランあり＜ケワロ湾＞

In the ocean 海の中は

Reviewed by: yudai

First, the prior guidance about the location of the check-in counter was poor. I entered the address into Google, but there was no counter there. I asked a nearby fisherman, who told me it was not there but over there. However, I had a hard time finding the counter with the name of the activity organizer. Just when I was about to ask where the organizer's location was, the lady at the counter called my name, and I finally arrived.

As for the activity itself, it was different from what I expected. The snorkeling in the rough waves had very little to see underwater; aside from a sea turtle, there were only two types of fish that appeared alternately, so there were hardly any fish at all. The water was murky, and I couldn't see even a meter ahead. The water slide was only worth doing once. On the water trampoline, I couldn't really bounce; I just lay there sunbathing. It felt nice, and I ended up falling asleep, which was the most luxurious part of the experience. While I think it was good to have had a unique experience, I wouldn't recommend it.

まずチェックインカウンターの場所の事前案内が雑。住所をGoogleに入れて行ったが、そこにはカウンターは無い。近くの漁業関係者に聞いてここではなく、向こうだと言われ行くも、アクティビティ主催者の名前のあるカウンターがなかなか見つからない。たまたまここの主催者の場所はどこか聞こうとしたところ、カウンターのお姉さんが自分の名前を呼んでくれたので、ようやく辿り着きました。アクティビティ自体は期待してたのとは違い、荒波の中のシュノーケリングで、水中を除いてもウミガメはもちろん、魚も2種の魚がかわりばんこに出てくるぐらいで、ほとんどいません。水中も濁っていて、1m先も見えない状況でした。ウォーター滑り台も一回やれば十分。水上トランポリンではトランポリンできるはずもなく、ただ寝そべって日焼けごっこ。気持ちよくて寝てしまったがそれが1番贅沢でした。貴重な経験ができたのでよかったとは思いますが、おすすめはしません。

Interesting experience

Reviewed by: Pam

It took awhile to get comfortable snorkeling in the ocean where you can't just stand up if you want. Nervous that the waves would take me under the boat I could not relax. Our guides were wonderful and talked me thru it until I calmed down. After that it was quite an experience. Not exactly what I expected swimming around with turtles because they were swimming way below you but it was still cool. The fish also stayed down lower which after snorkeling where the fish come right up to you in shallow water was alittle disappointing. Afterwards the Mai tais and beer were good except my daughter was sea sick by then and only wanted to go to shore. Would recommend this cruise.

Snorkelling with Turtles

Reviewed by: Sally

Communication was on point and kept us all in the loop prior to our cruise date. There were no issues is locating where we had to be.

5 staff in board were all really friendly, helpful and great advice. My son had issues with his snorkel once we were in the water and they helped us out straight away.

There were lots of turtles for us to see, the water was really clear the day we went. They came.so close to us, it was really amazing.
We had a wonderful time, My mum, myself and my 13yr old all really enjoyed ourselves.

I wouldn't take anyone not confident in breathing with the snorkel as it was a bit choppy when we were out there. The team was great from a safety aspect too with rules and regulations, not letting tourists do whatever they wanted and respected the environment.

Would 100% book again with this team.

We want to express our extreme satisfaction with the snorkeling tour we took with our family this morning (10:30 am tour). In particular, the crew of the boat (Junyah, Bella, Josiah, Julian, and Amos) were very professional and accommodating. We really liked that all of your staff were clear with their instructions, but also relaxed and light humored. We really appreciated the time and attention they gave to our daughter, Olivia, who was snorkeling for the first time and required a lot of additional attention. Even though we required extra attention, no one was rude or impatient with us - in fact, they were very kind and understanding. Thanks again to your crew for such a positive experience!

2.5-Hour Turtle Snorkel Sail Tour from Waikiki Beach - Cold Brew Coffee, Snacks & One Drink Included

It is affordable

Reviewed by: OCFD519JH

Like I said it is affordable. The kids running the boat we’re friendly an did the best they could. 22 people, some of which had not only never snorkeled, but were clearly uncomfortable in the water were too much for the crew to safely manage. I personally had to save a struggling passenger while the guy that was working the lifeguard shift was wrangling other dingdongs! Not the lifeguards fault he was just dealing with too many other folks and couldn’t get to the panicky woman fast enough. I don’t mind, I am a water rescue swimmer with my fire department but still… Her screaming for help couldn’t be heard over the clamoring of the other passengers on deck and the music playing onboard. When folks are in the water 100% attention to the swimmers is the only safe option and if you can’t hear them then the music needs to be off and eyes need to be on the swimmers. The operation was also billed as a sailing and snorkeling adventure with sailing being the key word for me. The wind was fine and other boats were sailing but our sails never went up. If you’re on a budget do it. but for 20-30 more you could do the same thing with a power boat, dolphins and turtles, food and water, and a photographer who would gladly sell you the images from the trip for a few extra dollars. In all honesty a confident swimmer could have reached turtle canyon in a easy half hour of swimming but that’s not for everyone.

For those of you who don’t swim, don’t feel comfortable in the water, or have small children that don’t swim. this is not how you spend your money. Endangering yourself or your family because “anyone can snorkel” in open water, when you’ve never done it before makes the trip that much less enjoyable for everyone including the crew. It is not their job to pay all their attention to you, and it becomes unsafe for everyone else.

Any chance to get in the water will always be awesome for me so like I said it is affordable. If it’s your best option yay!
Go for it!
