Not really worth it.
Drinks are not offered until after you get out of the water. Kinda lame. But safety first, I get it. Ticket says 3 beverages. By the time you're out of the water and get a drink from the bar, you have about 15 minutes out on the water before getting back to the beach. I ordered two drinks and didn't have time to finish my second beverage. And you can't take them off the boat with you.
I saw two turtles. Water is not very clear and you are crowded by so many other tours. You are required to wear a life jacket the whole time, so you can't even dive down to take a closer look at the turtles. They're about 30 feet below you. One did surface, so that was cool.
Staff were super unenthusiastic. Yes, you're working. You live here. We're tourist, whatever. But at least smile. It's like none of them have ever traveled before. This is a bucket list adventure for some people. Maybe show some passion. The male guide couldn't project his voice whatsoever and had zero excitement in his voice when going over safety measures. The female guard also struggled with public speaking and wrapped it up with "I tried my best to make sure you all saw a turtle, if you didn't, that's your fault."
The only person on the boat who deserved part of the tip I left was the good looking thor dude. He was at least friendly. Mahalo to you.
Also. They advertise two hammock like seating areas. A couple scored the first one. The other one was occupied with thier equipment. I kindly asked if they could move it over 4 feet so I could sit there and the girl said no. I arrived early just to claim that spot. I was not the only person to ask, either. Maybe don't put the equipment in the most desirable area to sit?
Would not book again.

大概、ウミガメに会えるというシュノーケリングで、そうそう会えることもないのではと思う。
ここでは、餌付け?をしているのか、普通に泳いでいるウミガメは2匹だったが、海底にはそれ以上の5匹のウミガメがおり、楽しく過ごすことが出来た。
確実に会える!というフレーズは、確かだと思う。
浮きを必ず着用しなければならず、海中に潜水することは出来ないが、楽しく過ごすことが出来た。
日本語が全く使えないので、英語が話せない人は少し厳しいかも!

同じようなツアーの中でも安かったので参加しました。ワイキキのホテル群の沖合でのシュノーケリングでした。海亀は間近で見られたものを含めて5匹もいました。サンゴ礁では無いのでお魚は少なめです。音楽を聞きながらのカタマランでのクルーズは最高でした。外国人ばかりで英語はわからなかったけど全然OKでした。アルコールは1杯タダでした。現地までの移動が不安だったのでJCBプラザで往復のタクシーを予約してシェラトンカイウラニからチップ込み定額片道22ドルでした。集合場所のpierDの場所は予約時にツアーから届く埠頭の地図で確認しておくと良いです。

【概要】
英語ツアーなので日本人は自分1人でしたが、難しい解説はなく、身振り手振りである程度理解できます。お水も言わずとも持ってきてくれたり、1人なので気を遣ってくださいました。いろんな国からの家族連れが多かったので、家族で参加するならあまり気負わずに参加出来ると思います。
【ウミガメ】
周りにもたくさんのツアーの船が多く、自分のツアーのインストラクターさんを見失わないようにする必要はあります。疲れて途中で上がるのは可能でした。
ウミガメがいるスポットに大勢押しかけて見る感じでしたが、人がいる所がウミガメのいる所と分かるので、確認はしやすいです。
ウミガメは自由に浮いたり沈んだりして、それを眺めたりできました。ただし、触るのは禁止なのでインストラクターさんが繰り返し伝えてくれるので、それさえ守れば快適なツアーです。

Jenna and her crew were fantastic. They ensured we had a wonderful time sailing, snorkeling, and just an all-around fun time on the water. If your looking for good look no further. If you're heading to Hawaii for vacation I just want a quick day of snorkeling Turtle sightings and multitudes of fish you have to go with Jenna's crew

Couldn't get tickets for Hanauma Bay, so chose this instead. Sent two 30-somethings on the excursion. They loved it! Saw several large turtles and lots of fish. Leaving off the beach is a plus since we were already laying out there. short and sweet and easy!

夫婦で参加し、英語はほぼできませんがほとんど問題ありませんでした。
予約連絡メールもすべて英語ですが、Google翻訳でしっかり集合場所も分かるので、ワイキキのホテルからザバスで最寄りまで行き、港を5分ほど歩いて到着しました。(ちなみに、ザバスの時刻表やバス停の場所はGoogleの経路検索が一番正確だと現地の日本人に教えていただき、その通りですごく便利でした。)
モアナという名前の船で、船の前にツアーの看板も出てるのでわかりやすいです。
ただ、他の方も書いているように集合時間から20分ほど待たされたので少々不安にはなりました。(そもそも参加者もほとんど15分以上遅れてきました。時間守るのは日本人ぐらいなんでしょうか?笑)
ツアーが始まってからも英語のみの説明ですが、船の後ろには行かないこと、亀が近づいてきても一定の距離を取ること、スタッフが「モアナー」と呼び込みかけたら船に上がること、ぐらいしか理解できなかったですが何ら問題なかったです。
実際に亀を間近でたくさん見れました!
他のツアーの船も5,6隻同じ同じ場所でそれぞれ数十人が海に入るので人にぶつからないように泳ぐのが少し大変ですが、何匹も亀がいるのでしっかり見ることができました。海面に息継ぎに上がってくるのが可愛かったです。
他にも数種類のお魚も見ることができました。
ただ、よくシュノーケルでイメージする色とりどりの小魚が珊瑚に群がるような感じではないので、あくまで亀主体のツアーという理解で行かれた方が良いです。
日本語スタッフがいる類似ツアーは120ドルするようですが、もしも内容にあまり差がないようならとてもお得だと思いました。
全体的には満足です!

Took our family out for a morning excursion, was a little disappointed that we didn’t go much further into the ocean or to a smoother cove. But we did see turtles & other fish around the coral! We can’t wait to get our disposable camera developed to capture our adventures! The Ke Kai provided all the equipment and safety briefings for snorkeling, all equipment was cleaned & sanitized before & after use.
Unfortunately, even through Dramamine & ginger ale 3 out of 4 of our family members got sick on the return ride to shore. The staff was sooo sweet and checked on us frequently! They took great care of us and recommended techniques to curb our seasickness that we didn’t expect to hit us so hard. I guess for us, it’s a good thing the boat ride was shorter off the coast than what we expected, lol
Overall excellent experience that got us off the beach and in the water! Would highly recommend this catamaran and crew!

5年前に、ワイアナエまで行きシュノーケルしたときはフィンがなく
船まで戻るのが大変でしたが、こちらはフィンがあったので、とても楽しく魚やウミガメを近くでみることができました。
さらにラッキーなことにイルカにも遭遇しました!
何よりワイキキのホテルから乗船できるので時間が有効につかえますよ。
ただ、日本語ガイドさんはいないので英語がわかる人と行けるといいですね。娘と一緒だったので助かりましたが。
ガイドさんがいなくても、同じ内容の説明プラカードがあればいいのに、と思います。

現地集合、英語オンリーとのことだったので心配しながらの参加。集合場所に行きましたが最初はどこかわからず奥の施設の方に聞いて108の船のところ、船にはMOANA号と書かれていて一安心。4人で参加しましてが携帯でそれぞれQRコードから入り承諾書など入力。
いざ船は横になったりイスも座り心地良く快適でした。説明は英語でなので翻訳アプリを使用しておおむねわかりました。救命胴衣はベストではなく腰巻きなので不安な時はベストを持参されるか腰巻きを2個使うと安心して海に入れました。海に入ったらスタッフの方から離れないようにします。ウミガメに会えました!海そこに親子や大きなウミガメが途中目の前に顔を出してくれて感動でした。魚もたくさん泳いでいました。帰りの船ではドリンクも頂きみなさん疲れて船に横になったり気持ちの良い時間でした。スタッフの方も数人いらしてみなさんとても親切に対応してくれています。

Very cool experience. Saw lots of fish and turtles. The view at the island was nice as well. Only thing I was not happy about was the life guard told us to remove the flippers while the tide pulling us away. Mad it pretty hard to swim to the boat. I'm a decently strong swimmer and I barely made it. Besides that great experience

I was expecting to be sailing since we were aboard a sailboat. I was very disappointed and expressed my interest to sail with the crew (the wind was awesome) they said we could sail back. I brought this up several times and got other passengers excited about it as well. The crew decided we didn't have enough time even though we waited at the snorkel spot long after everyone had come out of the water. We did not get to sail back. Additionally when we were snorkeling I saw a turtle covered in fishing line all tangled up... I pointed this out to the crew and they said "oh well we cant touch them" with complete apathy.
It was quite depressing and the apathetic unenthusiastic crew just made it worse. Seek another sailboat tour. Maybe they will actually sail.
