I was able to see sea turtles up close! The cost performance is unbeatable! 海亀が間近で見れました！コスパ最強♪

Reviewed by: かものはし

We participated as a couple, and although we don't speak much English, it wasn't a problem at all. The reservation confirmation emails were all in English, but with Google Translate, we were able to understand the meeting location perfectly. We took the bus from our hotel in Waikiki to the nearest stop and walked about five minutes to the port. (By the way, a local Japanese person informed us that Google Maps provides the most accurate bus schedules and stop locations, and they were right—it was very convenient.)

The boat is named Moana, and there is a tour sign in front of the boat, making it easy to find. However, as others have mentioned, we had to wait about 20 minutes from the meeting time, which made us a bit anxious. (Most participants arrived more than 15 minutes late. Is it just Japanese people who are punctual? Haha.)

Once the tour started, the explanations were only in English, but I understood that we shouldn't go to the back of the boat, we should keep a certain distance if turtles approach, and when the staff called out "Moana," we should board the boat. I could only understand these points, but it wasn't a problem at all.

We were able to see many turtles up close! There were also five or six other tour boats in the same area, with dozens of people entering the water, so it was a bit challenging to swim without bumping into others. However, there were plenty of turtles to see, and it was adorable to watch them come up to the surface for air. We also saw several types of fish.

Just keep in mind that it wasn't the colorful small fish swarming around the coral that you might typically imagine with snorkeling; it was primarily a turtle-focused tour, so it's best to go with that understanding.

Similar tours with Japanese-speaking staff seem to cost around $120, but if the content is not significantly different, I think this tour is a great deal.

Overall, we were very satisfied!

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！

Amazing staff!

Reviewed by: Jasmine C

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!

Reviewed by: しょんもももんた

Five years ago, when I went to Waianae to snorkel, I didn't have fins, and it was difficult to return to the boat. However, this time I had fins, so I was able to enjoy seeing fish and sea turtles up close. Additionally, I was lucky enough to encounter dolphins!

The best part is that you can board from a hotel in Waikiki, which makes good use of your time. However, there is no Japanese guide, so it would be great if you could go with someone who understands English. I was with my daughter, which was helpful. I think it would be nice to have a sign with the same explanations even without a guide.

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。

Reviewed by: 山ちゃん

I was worried about participating since it was a local gathering and English-only. When I arrived at the meeting place, I wasn't sure where to go at first, so I asked someone at the back facility and found the boat labeled "MOANA." I joined with three others, and we each entered the consent form using our mobile phones by scanning the QR code.

Once on the boat, we found the seats comfortable and relaxing. The explanations were in English, so I used a translation app and understood most of it. The life jackets were not vests but waist wraps, so if you're feeling uneasy, it's a good idea to bring a vest or use two waist wraps for peace of mind when entering the water. Once in the water, we were instructed not to stray from the staff. We got to see sea turtles! It was amazing to see a mother and baby turtle come right up in front of us. There were also many fish swimming around.

On the way back, we enjoyed drinks, and everyone was able to relax on the boat, which was a pleasant time. There were several staff members who were very kind and helpful throughout the experience.

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。

The sail was not hoisted once plus disregard for environment

Reviewed by: Lily

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.

It was an indescribable feeling. なんともいえない感じでした

Reviewed by: mami

I was prepared for only English-speaking staff, and indeed everything was in English. Additionally, there were no participants who spoke Japanese. There were some unfamiliar English terms in the explanations, but I managed to understand the atmosphere, and by following the others, I was able to get by.

The boat was really cool, and it felt very relaxed, as if we could just hang out anywhere. It was perfect for taking photos.

I have done snorkeling a few times in Japan, but the waves in Hawaii were high, making it difficult to move as I wanted, which was a bit scary. The life jacket that attaches around the waist? Having two, one under the armpits and one around the waist, helped a lot. There were staff members who made sure we didn't remove them and kept a close watch from the boat, so I felt that safety was well taken care of.

I was able to see sea turtles floating on the surface and swimming, which was great.

Since the waves were high and the boat rocked quite a bit, those prone to seasickness should definitely take motion sickness medication. Also, since you might get hungry or feel hot, it would be good to have some snacks and water. They do offer soda and alcohol for a fee.

英語スタッフのみとあったので覚悟して行きましたが、やはり全て英語でした。また、一緒に参加する方も日本語を話せる方はおらずという感じでした。
また説明ではあまり聞いたことのない英語もあったので、雰囲気で理解しましたが周りの方に合わせて動けば何とかなりました。
船はとってもカッコよくて、どこでもいいからゆっくりしてねという感じで自由に過ごせました。写真映えは最高です。
シュノーケリングは日本で何回かやったことがあるのですが、ハワイの海は波が高いので思ったように動けず、少し恐怖もありました。腰につけるライフジャケット？は脇下と腰に２つ付けるとなんとかなりました。外すのは絶対ダメという感じでポイントを知らせてくれる方と船の上からしっかり見ている方といらっしゃったので安全面はしっかりしているのかなという感じでした。
海亀は海面に浮いてきたり、泳ぎながらも見れたのでよかったです。
波が高く、船も結構揺れるので船酔いをする方は酔い止め絶対にいります。あと、お腹が空いたり、暑さもあるので、水分と軽食があってもいいと思います。お金を払えばソーダやお酒は提供してくれます。

The Prius departs from a location next to the Waikiki Hotel, which is easy to find and has relatively good security.

There were no Japanese people present, but there are gestures during the explanations, so it works out fine.

Very limited instruction was given into how to use the mask and snorkel. Mine was all twisted up and none of the staff provided any assistance.

The reef area is choppy and murky making it very difficult to see. There were 4 other boats there so the area was quite crowded. We saw 1 turtle and a few fish. Pretty disappointing.

If you are looking for a magical reef experience then I suggest go somewhere else like the Great Barrier Reef in Australia.

Back on the boat we were offered 1 drink only even though the tour says 3 alcoholic drinks are provided.
