Excellent crew and we saw whales! Crew was fun and knowledgeable at finding us 2 whales to follow. Saw plenty of blow spouts, and a few tails in the air and 1 spectacular jump which someone caught on video too. A very great time sailing

2-Hour Afternoon West Oahu Whale Watching Tour - Hawaii Nautical [Dec-Mar]

Waianae whales did not disappoint!

Reviewed by: Blu3yedblonde

An hour out, we were all (including crew) worrying we wouldn’t see any whales. Crew had seen 1 in the morning.
Into the 2nd hour 2 beautiful hump back made their appearance. They put on an amazing show for us, with multiple breaches. It was truly a memorable tour!
Crew was so positive, friendly, and informative. They were as happy as we were, with such a stunning “show”.
Bummed my videos wouldn’t load, but you get the gist.

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>

Encountered a large pod of dolphins! イルカの大群に遭遇‼︎

Reviewed by: ririka

I participated once before the COVID-19 pandemic and had a very valuable experience, so I joined again after about three years! On the day I participated, the wind was strong and the waves were high, which reduced the water's clarity. As a result, when the honu dove, it quickly became hard to see them, and I didn't spot them as often as during my previous visit. However, I was able to see a few honu, and just as I was about to head back to the boat, I spotted a large pod of dolphins in the distance. One of them jumped high like in a dolphin show, and I was so excited! Just when I thought the excitement couldn't get any better, the pod of dolphins started swimming towards us, and in the end, I was able to swim with the dolphins too! It was the best experience to encounter both honu and dolphins!

コロナ禍前に一度参加し、大変貴重な体験ができたため、約3年ぶりに参加させて頂きました!
私が参加した日は風が強く波が高かったため、海の透明度が低く、ホヌが潜ってしまうとすぐに見えなくなってしまい、前回参加した際よりもホヌを見える回数があまり多くありませんでした。しかし、何度かホヌを見ることができたため、船に戻ろうとしたところ、遠くにイルカの大群を見つけ、一匹はイルカショーのように大きくジャンプしてくれて、大興奮していました!大興奮していたのも束の間、だんだんとイルカの大群が私たちの方に泳いできて、最終的にはイルカとも泳ぐことができました‼︎
ホヌもともイルカとも出会えて最高の体験でした‼︎

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>

Sea turtles are the best! ウミガメ最高

Reviewed by: トシさん

After an hour on a tour bus from Honolulu, we set sail from the west coast of Oahu on a cruiser. We spotted dolphins about 30 minutes in. After a brief snorkeling explanation on the cruiser, as soon as we found the dolphin pod, we jumped in from the cruiser. The dolphins were clearly visible from the cruiser, but through the snorkel, we could only faintly see them in the distance.

However, after moving the cruiser to shallower waters, we encountered sea turtles. Swimming with them was amazing. We could also swim with tropical fish.

I am truly grateful to the Japanese camera operator who provided various explanations. The photos taken were great snaps and became wonderful memories.

ホノルルからツアーバスで1時間、オアフ島の西海岸からクルーザーで出航。30分くらいでイルカを発見。クルーザー内でスノーケリングの簡単な説明を受けた後、イルカ群を発見するや否や、クルーザーからジャンプ・飛び込み。イルカはクルーザーからはよく見えましたが、スノーケルでは、遠くにかすかに見えただけでした。
しかし、その後、クルーザーで浅瀬に移動したあとは、ウミガメに遭遇。一緒に泳げ最高でした。熱帯魚とも一緒に泳げます。
日本人カメラ担当の方には、いろいろと説明して頂き、本当に感謝です。撮って頂いた写真もグッドスナップで、すごくいい思い出になりました。

シュノーケリングクルーズ 野生のウミガメ&イルカ・ウォッチング <ランチ&アルコール3杯付き>

Refreshing! 気分爽快!

Reviewed by: なおむし

We participated as a family, and we were the only Japanese people there. When I conveyed that I wasn't very good at English in broken phrases, the captain said, "No problem." Anyway, all four crew members worked hard, were attentive to the guests, and were very friendly, which felt great. The sky, which was cloudy in the morning, cleared up, and we were able to see dolphins, sea turtles, and a family of sea lions.

For snorkeling, they provided life jackets, so I felt safe and enjoyed it. However, after swimming, it gets very cold when the sea breeze hits you, so I think it's better to bring a towel (and a jacket) with you.

It became a wonderful memory.

家族で参加しましたが、日本人は私達だけ。あんまり英語が得意じゃないと、カタコトで伝えると、船長さんは、ノープロブレムと言ってくれました。とにかく4人のクルーがみんなよく働くし、お客さんのことも気にかけてくれて愛想がよく、気持ちがよかったです。朝は曇っていた空も晴れてきて、イルカやウミガメ、オットセイの親子も見られました。
シュノーケリングも、ライフジャケットを貸してくれるので安心して楽しめました。ただ泳いだあとは、海風に当たるととても寒いので、しっかりタオルを(上着も)持っていったほうがいいと思います。
いい思い出になりました。

Hawaii Nautical 2-Hour Waikiki Turtle Snorkel Sail - Morning & Afternoon Tours [Apr-Nov]

Best experience ever!!

Reviewed by: azrigsby

This was a wonderful trip. The crew was phenomenal. They were very attentive to the passengers and were extremely knowledgeable about the area and the marine life present. In addition to the turtles promised, we even spotted the first whales of the season (quite early, in fact) and had dolphins come right up to use within the reef, also a rare happening. One of the nicest things about this group is that, even though their vessel can hold up to 80 passengers, they keep the number of people in the group small in order to make it a much more enjoyable and interactive experience. I would highly recommend this group for their professionalism and attention to detail. If I had more time on my trip, I believe I would have taken this trip again or one of their other offerings. It is WELL WORTH the low price, and I would highly recommend this to anyone wanting a truly magical snorkeling adventure.

I was able to see small, beautiful fish and sea turtles! We signed up during a time when there was no Japanese guide. There were many foreigners around, and while I was somewhat overwhelmed by the different energy and vibe, I still had a great time. If you want to hear explanations in Japanese, I recommend choosing a time with a Japanese guide.

Captain Walter and our Japanese guide, Emi, were wonderful!

This tour is highly recommended for families. It was a completely private charter. We rented a boat that can accommodate 38 people, but it was just our family of five. Although it wasn't mentioned in the inclusions, we received a cooler bag from Sea Hawaii filled with lots of snacks.

We encountered a pod of dolphins! At the "Turtle House" they took us to, there were several large sea turtles. Thank you for a fun time! I would like to use Sea Hawaii's wild dolphin snorkeling cruise and private charter again next time.

I’m not sure if my expectations were too high or what but it wasn’t what I was expecting. I still had a good time and we did see one turtle. The crew was great so no complaints there. As far as the beer and cocktails go….they offer them to you about 10 minutes before you get off the boat so you have time for about one lol!! The day we went there really wasn’t even hardly any fish to see. Plus there were so many other boats in the same exact place it just felt crowded.
