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

We did See Turtles!

Reviewed by: Troy

As in the title we definitely saw turtles on the trip. I was however disappointed with an $89 each cost associated. We were picked up and driven to the marina which is at Waikiki and could have walked there quicker. We took the early 8 am tour which departed around 8:30 and minutes later we were in the water and swimming with the turtles which was great. Outside of the turtles there wasn't much more to see. After less than an hour of snorkeling I was told to get back on the boat to depart. Ten minutes later we were exiting the boat. There was no time to enjoy the "open bar" really at all, and it was only 9 am. For the money we should have at least got some extra time on the boat cruising around, maybe a loop back toward Pearl or something. I'm not saying don't do it but we saw just as many turtles off a rented stand up board on Waikiki for $25/hr. That said, the crew was great and really did try to get people going and excited.

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

Incredible experience!

Reviewed by: Danielle

Absolutely wonderful experience!
We were picked up right on time, and it was a short drive to the harbour from our hotel in Waikiki. The staff were all very friendly, helpful and professional and the sail boat was spacious and clean. The snorkeling gear was good quality and generally fit well, although my mask leaked a little.
We saw our first turtle not long after getting in the water, and saw quite a few more thereafter. They came very close to us as they surfaced to breath, making for incredible photo opportunities.
This was an amazing experience and anyone visiting the island and considering this activity will not be disappointed!

3-Hour Waikiki Deluxe Turtle Snorkel Sail with Lunch - Hawaii Nautical

Beautiful boat and fun turtles

Reviewed by: New Englander

So, I have never been sea sick before in my entire life, but snorkeling in the swell did me in. The crew were SO FANTASTIC. They helped me out of the water, checked in over and over, and were a delight. No their fault I yakked, and the did everything they reasonably could to make the trip good in spite of it. The sailing part was awesome-- it was windy and a little rough and so we really raced along and got bounced around in the waves. Very exciting. I love boats!

The snorkeling part was good. Remaining hour and a half was the most boring tour I even had in Hawaii. Complete waste of time and money. Would not recommend this tour to anybody.

Reviewed by: JJJ

Despite the rain and bad weather at the time of departure, the crew made it enjoyable, and I had a great time. I was a bit disappointed that there were fewer types of fish than I expected, so I thought it would be nice if we could go a little further out.

出航時は雨が降り悪天候にも関わらず、乗組員に盛り上げて頂き楽しかったです。思ったより、魚の種類が少なくて残念だったので、もう少し遠出できるといいのかと思いました。

Best snorkeling I have ever done

Reviewed by: Elise Wilson

Seconds after we got to the snorkeling spot, one of the guides emerged from the water holding an octopus, which everyone got to see and interact with. There were probably 7 or 8 sea turtles of all sizes and ages around us the whole time we were in the water, in addition to the tropical fish and moray eels on the reef. It was absolutely incredible.

We had a great time. They were right on time. The boat was very clean. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable about the sea life. They knew what the the different fish were that we were seeing, we found some huge Turtles that swam with us. Then we just sailed on the boat for an hour or so. Was a great trip and I highly recommend it. This is not a BOOZE CRUZ. This is well done and professional!!

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＞

Snorkeling was satisfying. シュノーケリングは満足

Reviewed by: 菊千代

The meeting place was hard to find, and I ended up wandering the beach for about ten minutes, which made me late, but it wasn't a problem. There was a staff member sitting near a banner that I saw in other people's posted photos. I was asked to write something in English, but I wasn't sure what to write, so I just wrote my name, and it seemed to be fine.

Around 9 o'clock, the cruiser arrived and we departed. I was the only Japanese person; the others were several families from overseas. There was an explanation in English, and while I couldn't catch everything, I understood the general idea of how to put on the life jacket and what to do in case of an emergency. I was given a life jacket and a mask, but I didn't receive fins; perhaps I could have borrowed them if I had asked. I found it cumbersome, so I just swam without them.

We quickly spotted sea turtles, and they were quite close. Two turtles came up for air right in the middle of about ten people swimming, which was very exciting. If I looked closely, I could also see several turtles on the seabed.

There weren't many types of fish, but there were plenty of them. The crew threw food from the cruiser, so the fish swam quite close. I got too excited and tired after about 30 minutes and climbed back onto the cruiser. Still, I was satisfied with how many sea turtles I saw. Others were taking breaks and swimming for quite a long time, enjoying their time freely.

However, in the latter part, I brought this upon myself; I got too excited and tired, and I had inflated my life jacket too much, which pressed on my stomach, combined with forgetting to take motion sickness medication, and I ended up feeling quite nauseous. A kind staff member noticed and brought me some water.

The weather was nice, and while I was enjoying the beautiful scenery during the cruise, I eventually felt better. If I had taken the motion sickness medication, it could have been an even more amazing memory. Even though the weather was good, there was some wind, so I was glad I brought a long-sleeved jacket and a large towel.

The staff couldn't speak Japanese, but when they realized I didn't understand, they communicated with gestures, and they were all kind and cheerful people. I have done snorkeling a few times, so I was okay, but since the time at the turtle spot felt quite free, it might be a bit anxiety-inducing for first-timers. However, if I have the chance to go to Waikiki again, I would like to participate once more.

集合場所が分かりづらくって１０分浜辺をウロウロした為遅刻したのですが、問題はなかったです。
他の人の投稿写真にあった垂れ幕の近くに椅子に座ったスタッフさんがいました。
英語で何か書いてと言われたんですが、よくわからずとりあえず名前を書いたんですが、大丈夫そうでした。
９時ごろクルーザーが来て出発。日本人は私一人でした。他は海外の家族が何組かいました。英語で説明があり、全部とは言えませんがなんとなくライフジャケットのつけ方と緊急時の呼び方を言ってると分かりました。ライフジャケットとマスクは渡されたのですが、フィンが渡されず、言えば貸してもらえたのかもしれません。私は邪魔なのでそのまま泳ぎました。
ウミガメはすぐ見つかりました。しかも、かなり近いです。２匹が息継ぎのために１０人ほど人が泳いでいる真ん中にあがってきて、とても興奮しました。目をこらすと海底でもウミガメが数匹確認できました。
種類は少ないですが魚もいっぱいいます。クルーザーから餌を投げてくれるので、かなり近くに泳いでます。
はしゃぎすぎて３０分弱で疲れてクルーザーに上がりました。それでも充分ウミガメが見れて、満足できました。他の人は休み休み入ったり。かなり長く泳いでたりと自由に過ごしていました。
ただ、後半自業自得なのですが、はしゃぎすぎて疲れたのと、ライフジャケット空気を入れすぎて胃が圧迫されたのと、酔い止め薬を飲み忘れたのが重なって、かなり気持ち悪くなってしまいました。優しいスタッフが気付いてお水をくれました。
天気が良く、クルージングのとても良い景色を見ていたら、最後は復活しましたが、酔い止め薬飲んでおけば、本当に最高の思い出になったかもしれません。
天気は良くても風などがあるので、長袖の上着と大きめのタオルを持って行ってよかったです。
スタッフさんは日本語話せないのですが、私がわかってないとわかると身振りや手ぶりで伝えてくれて、優しいくて陽気な人たちばかりでした。
私はシュノーケリングは何回かしたことがあるので大丈夫でしたが、ウミガメがいるスポットについて、ただ自由時間って感じなので、初めての人にはちょっと不安が多いかもしれません。
でも、私はワイキキに行くことがあったら、また参加したいなと思いました。

Great Crew so so snorkeling due to semi-choppy water

Reviewed by: FatMan64

Outstanding crew. My wife does great in calm water but with the choppy water she was apprehensive about snorkeling. The crew calmed her and threw bred crumbs into the water by her to get fish to come near her so she could enjoy the snorkeling close to the boat. Food was great.

I was thrilled to see sea turtles up close! The cruise had cheerful music and lasted nearly an hour! I was very satisfied! However, there was no shade, so I would definitely recommend providing something like umbrellas for those who are concerned about sunburn.
