All Reviews for Marine Wildlife Encounters

It was very first time to join cruise for us. Unfortunately we could not find whales but we could meet a lot of dolphins swimming. Luckily it was really nice fine day, we had a great experience on the big ship. Hopefully we meet whales at next time. Thank you so much.

It was a large ship, so the scenery on the way out to sea to see the whales was also wonderful. Although from a distance, I was able to see several whales, which was great.

大きな船だったので鯨を見に沖に行くまでの景色も素晴らしかったです。
遠くからですが何頭かのクジラを見ることが出来良かったです。

It was a very thrilling tour. The excitement of boarding a submarine on the ocean (of course, safety was taken into consideration) and the sunken ships and planes after diving felt like something out of a movie.

とても迫力あるツアーでした。
海上で潜水艦に乗るところからワクワクするスリル（もちろん安全に考慮されてました）、潜水後も沈没した船や飛行機が映画のようでした。

I participated with my 5-year-old son and his father! First, the voucher said to gather at 10:30, but when we arrived, we were told to regroup at 10:55, so we changed and gathered! When we assembled, we were given life jackets, but they were wet from the previous customers! If you’re not wearing a wetsuit, it can be quite cold! My child was already saying it was cold at that point.

The activity was supposed to be 35 minutes of fun with dolphins, but there was an explanation that took about 30 minutes before it started, and we were left feeling quite cold in the wet life jackets against our bare skin, waiting for the dolphin interaction to begin. (It was December, and it wasn't very hot, but it was sunny ☀️)

Once we got into the water, it was incredibly cold!!! In the end, my lips turned purple, and I was shivering uncontrollably. Afterward, we jumped into the hotel jacuzzi. Other foreign guests also looked a bit cold. If you have underwater goggles, you can dive down and observe, but since it's the dolphins' habitat, it can't be helped; however, there were some weeds, and the water wasn't exactly clean.

That said, the interaction with the dolphins was plentiful; they performed many tricks right in front of us, we could feed them, and we swam alongside them✨. We took lots of cute photos and returned very satisfied. For the 35-minute activity, you need not only a towel but also a swimsuit.

5歳の息子と父親で参加しました！
まず、バウチャーには10：30集合になっていましたが行ってみると55分に再集合と言われ、着替えて集合！
集合がかかるとライフジャケットを渡されるのですが、前のお客様が着ていたものなので濡れています！
ウエットスーツを着ていないとかなり冷たいかも！
子供はその時点で冷たい冷たいと言っていました。
そして、35分間イルカと楽しめるアクティビティとのことでしたが、始まるまでの説明というか、お話がプラスで30分程と、とても長く冷たいライフジャケットを素肌に着たまま、なかなか始まらないイルカとのふれあいに水に入る前から既にちょっと寒そう。(12月でとても暑い日ではなかったですが晴れていました☀️)
そして水に入ると、またとんでもなく水が冷たい！！！
最終的に唇は紫でガクブルでガタガタ震え、終わってからホテルのジャグジーにドボンでした
他の外国の方々も少し寒そうにしていました
水中眼鏡を持っていれば一緒に潜って観察して良いのですが、イルカの住むところなので仕方ないのですが、潜ると藻があったり水は清潔とは言い難い様子。
が、イルカとの触れ合いはたっぷり、目の前で沢山芸をしてくれたりフィーディングができたり、イルカと一緒に並んで泳げたり✨可愛い写真もたくさんで大満足で帰ってきました
35分のアクティビティでは持ち物、タオルだけではなく水着必要です

Great tour
Fantastic experience
One in a lifetime opportunity don't miss.
Fantastic crew

The crew was really searching for whales, but as is common in nature, it depends on the whales' mood, so it was disappointing not to see any. People who went on a different whale tour that same day seemed to have seen them well, which made it even more disappointing. However, the boat itself was stable and I felt safe on it, and it would have been truly amazing if we had seen whales! I hope to see them next time, and I look forward to enjoying winter in Hawaii again someday!

船員スタッフは鯨をすごく探してくれてましたが
まぁ自然界の常識でもあるように、鯨のご機嫌次第とはいえ
見れなくて残念でした。
同じ日に別の鯨ツアーに行った人はしっかり見れたらしく
余計に残念な思いです。
でも、船そのものは揺れも少なく安心して乗っていられましたし
これで鯨が見れたらほんと最高でしたね！
次回は見れることを願って、いつかまた冬のハワイを楽しみたいです！

I ended up going pelagic diving on Christmas Eve, and it was truly one of the most amazing experiences of my life. Sharks are my biggest fear, this was my opportunity to face them. It was comforting for me that the crew gets in the water right along side you.They were very down to earth people, and genuinely create an environment where you feel safe. At a few points I started to slightly freak out as the sharks got uncomfortably close and the crew swam right alongside me and reassured me that I’d be fine, and they would keep them away if they came any closer. I was able to tough out the experience and got out of the water exhilarated, shaking, and completely in awe of what had I had experienced. I am left a memory that I will never forget / take for granted. I would 100% do it again , and I recommend this crew to all of my friends.. I wouldn’t chose any other charter!

I received a short message about the cancellation due to rough seas, and I was able to change it to the morning two days later over the phone. Since I spoke in English, I'm not sure if the change could be made in Japanese.

I downloaded the Japanese guide from the Atlantis Adventures website in advance and listened to it through Bluetooth headphones on my phone using Spotify.

There was a Japanese guidebook available for free at the ship's shop.

The weather was nice on the day of the trip, and I had a great time. On the way back, I saw a turtle. In the submarine, there were many fish, and I spotted a shark under the airplane.

海が荒れてキャンセルとshort messageで連絡があり、電話で二日後の朝に変更してもらいました。英語で話したので日本語で変更できたかはわかりません。
日本語ガイドはAtlantis adventures のHPで事前ダウンロードし、携帯のSpotify でbluetooth 経由ヘッドホンで聞きました。
船の売店に日本語ガイドブックか置いてあり無料でもらえました。
当日は天気もよく楽しめました。帰りの船で亀がみえました。潜水艦では魚がたくさんと、飛行機の下にサメが見られました。

I was wondering if I would see one, but I saw a whale.
It was a bit small, so maybe it was a baby?
I couldn't take a good photo, but the blue of the ocean was beautiful, and I'm satisfied.

とうかな？とおもってましたが、クジラ見れました。
小さめだったから、子供かな？
写真は上手く撮れなかったけど、海の青も綺麗で満足です

Well planned and executed with full of adventures. Must do at Waikiki. Very convenient. Great experience!

It's December, so it can't be helped. There are no Japanese staff, but it’s not a problem. It's a permanent two-tap setup, and it's an activity that beer lovers will be satisfied with.

12月ですし、仕方ありません。
日本語スタッフは居ませんが、困ることはなし。
2タップ常設の、ビール好きにも、満足のいく
アクティビティです。

It was reassuring to have two staff members who spoke Japanese. I was a bit nervous at first because we went further out to sea than I expected, but it makes sense... if the water is shallow, there won't be any fish to see, right? (laughs) I can't swim at all. I even dislike putting my face in the water. But please bear with that. After entering the sea, you'll put on the sea bob. After that, please do the equalization. If you can do that, you're good to go!!! At first, we'll get used to it near the surface, and if everything is fine, we'll dive a little deeper to meet the fish. It's strange to be underwater even though I can't swim. I wish I could have seen a few more types of fish, but that's being greedy... Time flew by, and when we got the signal to go back up, we returned to the boat. Once you're back on the boat, it gets cold with the wind, so please make sure to bring a jacket!!! Since there are other people, you can eat snacks and drink water while waiting. They will take videos and photos, which you can purchase at the end. Don't worry and just enjoy yourself. It became a lifelong memory.

日本語話せるスタッフが2人もいて心強かったです。
思ったよりも沖へ出たので始めはビビッていましたが
そうですよね...海中に入って魚を見るのですから浅かったら
魚いませんもんね（笑）
私は全く泳げません。
水に顔をつけるのも嫌です。がそれだけは我慢して下さい。
海に入ってからシーボブを被ります。
そのあとは耳抜きをして下さい。それが出来ればこっちのもの！！！
始めは海面近くで慣らして問題なければもう少し潜って魚たちと御対面～。
泳げないのに海中にいる自分が不思議。もう少し違う種類の
魚が見られたらよかったのですが贅沢ですね...。あっという間に時間が
経ち、もう上に行くよって合図があり船に戻りました。船にあがって
からは風に吹かれて寒くなるので必ず上着を持って行って下さい！！！
他の人たちもいるので待っている間にスナックを食べたり水が飲めます。
動画撮影、写真撮影して下さるので最後に購入出来ます。
心配せずに楽しんじゃって下さいね。一生の思い出になりました。

It was a valuable experience to see the underwater world in Hawaii. However, I couldn't find any information about "Japanese narration available for download." Once seated, there was no opportunity to ask questions to the staff. In reality, there were no staff members available to answer questions, and at both the boat before boarding the submarine and at the meeting point, there was no situation where I could inquire about the "Japanese narration available for download." There were also no Japanese brochures. This was very disappointing.

ハワイの海中を見ることができ貴重な体験でした。
ただ、『日本語ナレーションダウンロード可能』はどこへやら？
座席につくと係の人に質問できる状況ではなかったです。実際には質問できるような係の人はいないし、潜水艦に乗る前の船でも、集合場所でも『日本語ナレーションダウンロード可能』の質問ができるような状況ではありませんでした。日本語パンフレットもありませんでした。これが非常に残念でした。

I couldn't see it, but I felt the beautiful sea and the pleasant sea breeze, so I guess it was good!

見ることはできなかったけど、綺麗な海と潮風を気持ち良く感じることはできたので良かったかなと言う感じ！

It was an English narration, but I was able to get a Japanese pamphlet. It seems that the pamphlet was visually easier for the children to understand. It was great to see two sea turtles swimming.

英語ナレーションだけど、日本語パンフレットをもらえた
こどもにはパンフレットの方が視覚的にわかりやすかったようです。
ウミガメが２匹いて、泳いでいるところを見られたのがよかった。

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

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.

My partner and I loved it! Such an amazing experience. We saw lots more sharks than expected - the staff were all friendly and made the whole experience as wonderful as possible.
We highly recommend!

We spent Amazing time there. Friendly team. Well organized. I liked how they explained everything in details before we start for our safety & knowledge. I surely recommend it. the photos & videos were professionally taken.

I was so scared I woud chcken out but what an experience!

Our experience was amazing!!
The staff was super nice and knowledgeable about sharks.
Thank you, Andy, Erin, and the captain so much for an unforgettable experience.

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.

小さく綺麗な魚や、ウミガメを見る事が出来ました！
私達は日本語ガイドでは無い時間に申し込みをしました。
周りは外国人が多く、テンションやノリの違いに多少は圧倒されつつも、楽しめました。
しっかりと日本語で解説などを聞きたい方は、日本語ガイドの時間帯をお勧めいたします。

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.

Thoroughly enjoyed my time. The staff were friendly and informative and the Sharks came by to say hi - all in all, a great day.

This was a fun time. Well organized and lots of information on sharks. Saw 4 or 5 varieties including 4 tiger sharks within 5 feet of us.

I had participated before, but my child had never experienced it, so I wanted them to have the opportunity and joined again. It's quite rare to interact with dolphins like this, and I was able to see many smiles on my child's face. I would like to participate again.

以前も参加したことがありましたが、子どもは体験したことがなく、子供にも体験させたくてまた参加しました。ここまでイルカと触れ合えるのはなかなか無く、子どもの笑顔をたくさん見ることが出来ました。また参加したいと思います。

Ladder was the only struggle, but I made it! Once in the sub,arine the experience was so cool. Not somethng you can do every day!

Me and my husband who are a bit older felt like this was perfect for us to get to see the water as a diver would!

We had an outstanding experience! The captain and co-captain were friendly and professional. We arrived at the cage and returned to our destination safely. We were fortunate to see a few sharks. I thought I might get seasick but to my surprise I did not. I think it was because my grandson and I ate a bland meal beforehand and do not drink coffee. Unfortunately, two of the passengers did get sick and went palu in the cage! Auwe! Overall a great experience and we'd do it again.

100ft underwater. We saw turtles, fish, sunken ships, and sunken planes! Visibility on the day we went was crystal clear and we took tons of photos. I went with my good friend and she brought her 4-year-old. He absolutely loved it!! One thing though, the shuttle boat from shore to the submarine drop zone can be really windy. I packed a jacket which the kiddo was glad that I need since it got a little breezy. Once we were in the submarine, it's fully air-conditioned so I'd have a light jacket if you get cold easily.
