We participated as a family of four. Since I had an injury on my foot, they lent me a lifeguard. Once we entered the sea, there were many fish swimming around. After swimming for a while, I was able to see a turtle swimming at the bottom. It was a valuable experience since I had never seen a turtle before. I would like to participate again if I have the opportunity.
家族4人で参加しました。足を怪我していながらの体験だったので、ライフガードを貸していただきました。いざ海に入るとたくさんの魚が泳いでいました。しばらく泳いでいるとウミガメが1匹底に泳いでいるのを見ることができました。今までウミガメを見たことがなかったので、貴重な体験でした。また機会があれば参加したいです。
ライフガードをお借りしたものの、ずっと潜っていると苦しくなってくるので浮き輪で十分だと感じました。普段乗り物酔いはしない方ですが、船酔いしてしまったので酔い止めがあると良いかもしれません。

I enjoyed snorkeling in the beautiful waters off Waikiki. I was able to see turtles and schools of fish swimming slowly underwater. From the boat, I had a stunning view of Diamond Head and the hotels in Waikiki, creating wonderful memories.

My wife and younger daughter were able to borrow life jackets. For those who are not good at swimming, the current might have been a bit challenging.

Our family of 6 got to experience this tour. It was amazing from the start. The Captain and Crew were awesome and very personable. They were quick to help and easy to talk to. We got to see several Sea Turtles and even had a large female surface right next to us. The amount of fish we saw was crazy. The water felt amazing just floating and soaking in the experience.
On the way back we enjoyed some drinks and they took us for a ride down the coast line towards Diamond Head. The views were spectacular.
I highly recommend this if you’re staying in Waikiki.

The sea was murky due to the effects of the wind and tsunami, but I was able to see turtles when they surfaced while I was on the boat or in the water. Even though the water was cloudy while I was swimming and looking for sea turtles, I could see schools of fish, so I think there were many more. The sea is usually much clearer, so I would like to go again next time if the timing works out.
The cruise staff were kind, and since the sea was murky, they offered a complimentary soft drink and suggested an alternative for the sunset cruise.
風と津波の影響により海は濁っていたが船の上や海に入っている時に亀が水面に上がって来た時に見えた。他にもウミガメを探して泳いでいた時に濁ってはいたが魚の群を見ることが出来たので他にも沢山いたんだと思う。普段の海はもっと透き通っているみたいなので次回行く時はタイミングが合えばまた行きたい。
クルーズの人たちは親切で海が濁っていたこともありソフトドリンクの1杯サービスとサンセットクルーズの代替案を提示してくれた。
If there are people who get seasick, it's better for those who are prone to motion sickness to bring anti-nausea medication.

The tsunami stirred up the sand, making the water very murky, but I was able to swim alongside the honu when they surfaced! I saw more than ten of them from the cruise as well. Additionally, due to the murky conditions caused by the tsunami, they even guided us to a free tour that we could join during our stay. Although I couldn't participate this time, the staff's response was excellent, and I would love to join again. They also offered alternative options to participate in a sunset cruise tour besides the honu, showing their flexibility in accommodating us.
津波の影響で砂を舞い上げ、海中はとても濁っていたが、ホヌが顔を出すタイミングで一緒に泳ぐことができた!

I was able to see a total of three turtles! I think it's definitely a spot where you can see them. The guide was a foreigner, and when I participated, there were no Japanese participants, so I was a bit anxious, but there was nothing to worry about. I think it's a good idea to take motion sickness medication, as I experienced seasickness and nausea from the waves.

We participated with two adults and four children (ages 2 to 13). We were a bit anxious because it was slightly cheaper than other tours and only had English-speaking staff, but I thought communication would be fine as long as we could manage simple conversations. The boat was more luxurious than we expected, and we had a comfortable time.
During the snorkeling, we saw about 5 to 6 sea turtles from a distance for around 40 to 50 minutes. One of the local staff members was snorkeling and pointed out where the turtles were, but he wasn't very proactive, so we ended up diving and searching for them ourselves. However, we were thrilled to see one up close! If I have the chance to go again, I would love to participate.
大人2人、子ども4人(2〜13歳)で参加しました。
他のツアーに比べ少し安かったことと、英語のスタッフのみということで、少し不安はありましたが、簡単な会話ができる程度であれば、全くコミュニケーションは問題ないと思いました。
船も予想以上に豪華で快適に過ごせました。
ウミガメは約4〜50分間シュノーケル中に、5〜6頭遠くに見えました。
1人、現地のスタッフの方がシュノーケルをしながらウミガメのいる場所を教えてくれるのですが、あまり積極的でなかったため、自分たちで潜って探す感じでしたが、1頭至近距離で見れて感動しました!

The staff was friendly, and there were enough staff members for participants to swim comfortably! They took the time to thoroughly explain safety precautions, such as not swimming at the back of the boat, and they were always watching over the participants. There was also a practice for the OK sign and help sign, which was reassuring. We were the only Japanese participants, but there were many children joining, and we were able to communicate and have fun. There was an incident where a participant's hat flew into the sea, but the staff returned the boat to the point where the hat was and jumped in to retrieve it. The snorkeling time was long, and if you get tired, you can return to the boat via the stairs! I highly recommend it!

日本人参加者は我々だけでしたが、子供の参加も多く、楽しくコミュニケーションを取ることができました。
途中参加者の帽子が海に飛ばされるアクシデントがありましたが、船を帽子があるポイントに戻し、スタッフさんが飛び込んで取りに行っていました。

Departing from the Sheraton Waikiki in the heart of Waikiki. Everything is in English, and there are no Japanese speakers. The explanations are clear, so it's manageable.
The life jackets are the type you inflate yourself, but they are used by other companies as well, and as long as you inflate them properly, there are no issues.
The sea turtle snorkeling is just off the coast of Waikiki, right after departure. This time, we saw two turtles.
It took some time to find the turtles, but in the meantime, we enjoyed snorkeling with various fish.
Whether they are being fed or not, the fish come close, allowing you to experience swimming alongside them.
After snorkeling, we started sailing. In addition to free snacks, there are alcoholic beverages available for purchase.
Having a beer in Hawaii's dry climate after snorkeling was fantastic.
The waves during sailing were a bit high, but since the boat is a catamaran, it was not a problem. Once you get used to it, it becomes a fun attraction.

Everything from the reception to the announcements on the boat is in English. For those who are not good at English, the only way to understand is by watching the movements, but I don't think there is anything particularly difficult as long as you wear your life jacket properly. However, since it's a self-inflating type, I found it quite tiring to swim as the waves pushed me off balance. I saw two sea turtles, but they weren't slow enough to take pictures, so it's better to think of it as just being able to see them. I was worried about not mixing up my boat since we swam with people from other tours. It seems they separate groups by the color of the life jackets, so it's reassuring to stay close to those wearing the same color. Overall, being in the water can be quite exhausting. Perhaps because of that fatigue, I got seasick on the way back and couldn't see any of the scenery, which was disappointing for the cruising time.
受付から船上でのアナウンスまですべて英語。英語が苦手な人は動きを見て理解するしかないですが、特に難しいことはなくライフジャケットをしっかりつけていれば問題ないと思いますが、自分で膨らませる簡易タイプなので波に押されバランスが悪く泳いでいて結構疲れました。ウミガメは2匹見られましたが、写真に撮れるほどゆっくりではなく見られればOKくらいに思っていたほうがいいです。他のツアーの人と一緒に泳ぐため、自分の船を間違えないか心配でした。ライフジャケットの色で分けているようなので、同じ色の人たちと離れないようにすると安心です。とにかくひたすら海の中なので結構体力を消耗します。その疲れもあってか、帰りは船酔いで景色を一切見られず、せっかくのクルージングの時間が残念でした。

The receptionist spoke a little Japanese, but the crew on the boat communicated entirely in English. My English skills are only sufficient to understand simple phrases, but since they demonstrated how to use the snorkeling equipment, there were no particular issues as long as I paid attention. There were no other Japanese participants, but it felt like an overseas trip, which was nice!
When boarding the boat, you need to take off your sandals and shake off the sand from your feet. You sit in your seat and wait until you reach the snorkeling point. Once the crew is ready, everyone enters the water one by one. They apply anti-fog solution to the snorkeling mask, and after rubbing it in with your hands, you dip it in a bucket of water before putting it on. Just before entering the water, you put on your fins, and off you go into the sea!
You swim a little away from the boat to reach the watching point. As you swim, you see plenty of fish. I was surprised at how many there were! When a turtle appeared, the crew would call out, "Turtle!!" and let us know. We all gathered around, watching without getting too close. I was able to see the turtle both underwater and when it came up for air. So cute!
Many other boats were also there for turtle watching, so it might be helpful to keep an eye out for people wearing the same life jackets as you or to listen for the call of "Holokai!" to stay together and feel secure.
Looking at past reviews, it seems that the shape of the life jackets and floats might vary depending on when you participate. When we joined, we had life jackets that you inflate yourself. I recommend inflating them fully. Since the back of the jacket doesn't have any buoyancy, it might feel a bit scary if you're not used to swimming. My partner was also new to snorkeling and being in water where he couldn't touch the bottom, so he seemed quite fearful and stayed close to the boat while snorkeling. The crew informed us from the boat that there was a turtle, so we were able to enjoy turtle watching safely.
After snorkeling, we relaxed on the boat for about an hour. We were feeling a bit seasick, so we couldn't eat, but snacks were available for everyone else. The crew noticed we looked unwell and kindly asked if we were okay, applying lavender oil to our wrists, which is said to help with seasickness. I appreciated their kindness.
Although I felt a bit seasick towards the end, the breeze and sunshine on the boat were very pleasant, and I was able to see many fish and cute turtles. I think it was a wonderful experience that I wouldn't have had otherwise!

他の船もたくさんタートルウォッチングに来ているので、自分と同じライフジャケットをしている人を見逃さないようにしたり、「ホロカ〜イ!」という声がけに耳を澄ませておくと、逸れずに安心かもしれません。
過去レビューの写真を見たところ、参加タイミングによりライフジャケットや浮きの形が違うのかも? 私たちが参加した際は、自分で空気を吹き込んで膨らませるライフジャケットでした。しっかりと膨らませることをおすすめします。
背中側に浮きがない形なので、もしかしたら泳ぎ慣れていないと少し怖いのかもしれません。私のパートナーはシュノーケリングも初、足の付かない水中も初だったこともあり恐怖感がとても強かったようで、船からはあまり離れずシュノーケリングをしていました。
