This was an enjoyable trip just off the Waikiki coast, snorkeling was fruitful with my three teenage children as we saw many sea turtles and fish, while my wife enjoyed staying on the boat taking pictures of us in the water and of the surrounding views. Then we took a fun sail ride that gives you a great view of the Waikiki skyline and a full view of Diamond Head. The crew was great and were determined to ensure we had a great time. They were successful!

Entertainment was great. There was always something going on if you don't be careful you will miss the sunrise. I was beautiful.

The sandbar was incredibly beautiful and I was moved! We were blessed with great weather and got to see a large honu, creating wonderful memories! The guides were also very kind and easy to talk to, which left a great impression! I bought a sea band (anti-nausea band) here, and I really recommend it for those who are prone to motion sickness. I have a weak vestibular system that makes me dizzy even on airplanes, but wearing this band made the boat's swaying and even the return flight completely comfortable without any nausea!

サンドバー、とっても綺麗で感動しました！
天気にも恵まれ、大きなホヌも見られてとてもいい思い出ができました！
またガイドさんたちもとても親切で話しやすい方たちでとても印象が良かったです！
こちらで買える、シーバンド(酔い止めバンド)を購入したのですが、酔いやすい方はこちらを買うことを本当にお勧めします。
私は飛行機でもめまいがするほど三半規管が弱いですがこれをつけていたら、船の揺れはもちろん、帰りの飛行機も全く酔わずとても快適でした！

We participated in the tour on June 24 with five people. Although the pickup was early in the morning, the staff's fun talks and the detailed explanations of the tour were appreciated. Once on the boat, the captain and the friendly crew naturally brought smiles to our faces. We swam with dolphins at the two locations they guided us to, and both times we encountered dolphins, which was an emotional and thrilling moment. We also saw sea turtles several times at the surface. This was my first dolphin tour, but thanks to the enjoyable guidance from the staff, as well as the boat burgers and hula dancing, we had a wonderful time. If I come to Hawaii again, I will definitely join this tour without hesitation. Thank you to everyone at Dolphin & You.

6月24日のツアーに5人で参加しました。朝早いピックアップでしたが、スタッフ皆さんの楽しいトークやツアーの説明には丁寧さも感じました。船に乗船してからもキャプテンをはじめ楽しくて親切なスタッフクルーに笑顔が自然に出ておりました。イルカは二回ほど案内して頂いた場所で泳ぎましたが、二回ともイルカに出逢え感動と感激の瞬間を味合うことが出来ました。海亀も海面上で何回も出逢えました。今回は初めてのイルカツアーでしたが、スタッフ皆さんの楽しい引率や船上バーガー・フラダンスなど、楽しい時間を過ごさせて頂来ました。またハワイに来たら迷わすツアーに参加させて頂きます。ドルフィン&ユーの皆様有難うございました。

As I cautiously lowered my feet into the transparent sea, they touched the pure white grains of coral, and I found myself in a warm, quiet, and pleasant world. The turtles are not allowed to be touched, but they swam surprisingly close, providing an experience that far surpassed any aquarium visit. The Japanese staff accompanied us, offering explanations, services, and meals without any inconvenience, and they kept us smiling and entertained throughout. I found myself wishing to work here and would love to visit again.

透き通る海におそるおそる足を下ろすと真っ白なサンゴの粒に足が着き、温かく静かで気持ちのいい世界がそこにはありました。
タートルウォッチは自ら触る事は許されませんが、驚くほど近くまで遊泳してくれ、水族館など比較にならないほどの体験をさせてもらいました。
日本人スタッフも同行してくれており、現地での説明やサービス、食事まで何一つ不自由のなく、終始笑顔で楽しませてくれました。ここで働きたいわと思ってしまうような環境でまた利用させてもらいたいと思います。

By booking this tour, even if you're not a VIP, you can see from the front row on the second floor, which was great! ✨ However, if you want to be in the front row, be careful to line up early after finishing your meal. ⚠

このツアーから予約すると、VIPじゃなくても、2階の最前列で見れるのでよく見れました✨ただ、最前列に行きたければ食事を済ませたら、早く並ばないといけないので注意⚠

It was fun. The tide was low, and we were able to see sea turtles. The food was average. You can check the low tide using an American app, so I recommend checking the date and time in advance. Also, if you want to drink beer, I suggest bringing your own.

楽しかったです。ちょうど潮も干潮で、ウミガメも見れました。食べ物は普通。アメリカのアプリで干潮が調べれれますので、日にち・時間は事前にチェックをお勧めします。また、ビールを飲みたい方は持参をお勧めします。

I have participated in similar tours several times, but thanks to the good weather, this time I saw the most beautiful sea I've ever seen. The snorkeling was a bit murky, but there were plenty of fish, and I was able to see turtles, which was great. Since I joined the morning session, there was a light meal included, but it was a buffet-style, so the amount was more than just a light snack! The bone-in short ribs were incredibly delicious! Also, turtles came to swim in the shallow waters, and I was able to see them up close. I want to participate again!

何回か同様のツアーに参加しましたが、天気が良かったこともあり今回が今までで一番綺麗な海が見れました。
シュノーケリングは少し濁ってましたが魚もたくさんいて亀も見れて良かったです。
午前参加だったので軽食がついていたのですが、バイキング形式だったので軽食とは思えない量でした♪♪骨付きのカルビがすごくおいしかったです‼
あと、浅瀬にも亀が泳ぎにきてくれて、すごく近くで見ることができました。
また参加したいです‼

The honu came right up to me and was so cute! The staff were fluent in Japanese and had a great vibe, which made it a lot of fun!

ホヌが目の前まで寄ってきてとても可愛いかったです！
スタッフの方も日本語ペラペラでノリもよく楽しかったです！

We went for my daughter's graduation, we had a great time. The food was ok, but the performances and audience involvement made up for it. My kids really enjoyed it! The sunset was amazing!!! This is a must do activity.

This time I participated alone.

This tour is not really meant for solo travelers. It's best suited for friends, families, or couples on their honeymoon.

However, you can only reach this place through a tour like this, so if you have the mindset of wanting to:
- Take Instagram-worthy photos,
- Not care at all about what others think even if you're alone,
- Not feel uncomfortable when asked, "Are you participating alone?"

Then I think this tour is great for you.

I personally wanted to capture the quintessential Hawaiian scenery. I joined just with that mindset, but various thoughts crossed my mind along the way. I recommend that those participating alone focus solely on enjoying the scenery!

To join a tour like this, you need to have the right mindset.

今回一人参加でした。

このツアーは一人で参加するようなツアーではないです。
友人同士、家族、新婚旅行などのカップル。
そういう方には最高のツアーだと思います。

ただ、この場所に来るにはこういうツアーでなければ行けないので
・とにかくインスタ映えするような景色を撮りたい
・自分は一人でも他人の目なんて一ミリたりとも気にしない
・やたら「一人参加？」と聞かれても嫌な思いをしない
そういう精神的な気持ちがある人ならば、このツアーはいいと思います。

自分はとにかくハワイらしい景色を撮りたい。
そういう気持ちだけで参加したのですが、途中でいろんなものが去来してしまいました。
一人で参加する人は、景色を楽しむ！という事だけを専念することをお勧めします。

こういうツアーに参加するには、それなりの気持ちが必要です。

The staff at Captain Cruise were all very fun, and they willingly took photos for us. The beautiful sandbar, turtle watching from the boat, and snorkeling were all so enjoyable! I did get sunburned, though! (laughs) I'm not a strong swimmer and was anxious about snorkeling, but they let me practice at the sandbar, and since I was wearing a life jacket, I was able to enjoy it with peace of mind! Thank you very much!

キャプテンクルーズのスタッフの皆さんもとっても楽しい方達で、写真も進んで撮ってくださったり、綺麗なサンドバー も船からのウミガメウォッチングもシュノーケリングも楽しすぎました！ただ焼けましたね！（笑）私は泳ぐのが苦手でシュノーケリングは不安でしたがサンドバー で練習させてくださり、ライフジャケットも付けてたので安心して楽しめました！ありがとうございました！

The salad and pasta had traditional flavors that appealed to Japanese tastes. However, meals in Hawaii are expensive. As a Japanese traveler, I can't say this place offers good value for money, but since it's Hawaii, I'll let it slide.

サラダ、パスタ等オーソドックスな味付けで日本人好みの味付けだった。
しかし、ハワイの食事は高い。日本人旅行者としてはココもコスパが良いとは言えないが、ハワイなので良しとした。

My tour of the Big Island was canceled at the last minute due to the volcanic eruption, so since I was already in Hawaii, I quickly booked a sunset cruise. Thanks to arriving early, I was able to get a nice window seat and was among the first in line for the buffet, which made me happy. The experience wasn't perfect because there was a Chinese family whose kids were climbing on the sofa with their shoes on, throwing cushions, and running around, making a lot of noise. It really ruined the atmosphere.

ハワイ島観光が噴火の影響で直前キャンセルになり、すでにハワイにいたので急遽サンセットクルーズを申し込みました。
早めに現地に着いたおかげで窓側のいい席をとれてブッフェも最初に並ぶことができて満足です。
満点にならなかったのは中国のファミリーがいて子供達が土足でソファにあがったり、クッション投げをしたり、バタバタ走り回っていてうるさかったです。せっかくのムードが台無し。

This was my second time at the sandbar. Unfortunately, the tide was lower than last time, and the sandbar didn't appear. However, I was able to enjoy activities like beach volleyball. The cruise staff were lively and created a great atmosphere, making it a fun cruise. The lunch was delicious too!

2回目のサンドバーでした。前回より潮のヒキが少なく、残念ながらサンドバーが現れてはいませんでした。でも、ビーチバレーなど楽しむことが出来ました。クルースタッフがノリが良く雰囲気を作ってくれたので、楽しいクルーズでした。ランチも美味しかった～

I booked a tour for the next day while I was there. I received a confirmation email and waited at the pickup location on the day of the tour, but after waiting for over 20 minutes, no one showed up... I couldn't speak English, so I had to call, and with the help of the hotel staff, I managed to convey my issue. It seems the tour company said there was no reservation. In the end, I took a taxi to the boat and got a refund for the taxi fare, so I was able to participate in the tour after all. Since I didn't incur any financial loss, I asked Veltra to check the situation after returning home, and they responded sincerely. The tour itself was fine (I even saw a whale, albeit just a little), but it might be a bit risky to make last-minute reservations.

現地にいる時に翌日のツアーを予約しました。
予約完了メールも来て、当日迎えの場所で待っていましたが20分以上待っても来ず…英語が喋れないけど電話するしかない、とホテルの人に手伝ってもらいなんとか要件を伝えると、予約が入っていないとツアー催行会社から言われたようで…
結局タクシーで船のところまで行ってタクシー代を返金してもらえ、ツアーに参加することが出来たのでなんとかなりました。
金銭的に損をしたわけではなかったので、帰国後ベルトラさんに状況確認だけお願いしたところ誠実に対応してくださいました。
ツアー自体は問題ありませんでしたが（鯨もちょこっとだけ見れました）、直前の予約は少し注意が必要かもしれません。

A family of 11, including adults and infants, participated. They enjoyed a fun time while eating at the buffet, and eventually, as sunset approached, everyone was satisfied.

大人、乳幼児11人のファミリー参加しました。
ビュッフェを食べながら楽しく過ごし、やがてサンセットの時間になりみんな満足していました。

In short, I felt that there wasn't much point in paying a high price to go unless it was during low tide. Therefore, it's best to check the tide schedule in advance before participating. This time, the shallowest spot was about 30 centimeters deep. The weather was very sunny, the sea was beautiful, and I was able to meet some sea turtles, plus the food was really delicious. I was very satisfied with that part (^^).

As for snorkeling... the deeper areas weren't very clear. I could see some fish, but...

If you expect too much from the sandbar mentioned in the guide, you might be disappointed, so it's better to do some research before joining. As for the weather, it's all about luck, luck, and more luck.

一言で言うと、結局は干潮時じゃないと高いお金払ってまで行く意味はない感じがしました。ですから潮の干潮、満潮は事前に調べて参加した方がいいです。
今回は一番浅い所で３０センチぐらいでした。
とても晴れて海が綺麗でしたし、海カメさんとも出会えたし、料理もとても美味しかったです。その辺は大満足（＾＾）
シュノーケルになってからは・・・
深いところはあまり綺麗でなかったですね
魚は見れましたが・・・

案内にあるようなサンドバーを期待しすぎるとがっかりするのでよく調べてから参加する方がいいですね
後は天候に関しては運･運･運ですね

We book the Holokai everytime our family and friends come visit us on the island, and it never disappoints! Staff is great, and the views can’t be beat. Very relaxing!

It was truly amazing to be close to the honu (sea turtle) and swim with it! The crew was also very nice. For those who get seasick, taking motion sickness medication is definitely a must. The final yacht sailing can be a bit rocky.

ホヌ(ウミガメ)が間近にいて泳げたのは本当に最高でした！クルーも感じが良かった。船酔いする人は確実に酔い止め必須。最後のヨットセーリングは揺れます。

Our shuttle time was for 9am and we’re were picked up at 8:59am in a 12 person van. It only took 20 minutes to get to the bay but then we had to wait for 15 minutes just to park and get out. Our drivers name was Diogo and he was super friendly and nice to look at too lol :) After being fitted for our gear we walked to the entrance and paid our $7.50 per person over 13 years to get in and watched a 10 minute video about the history of the bay. It’s a little ways to walk down to the bay and can be tiring to walk back up after snorkeling but they offer shuttle service for $1.25 each way or $2.50 for the day. Take the shuttle. There’s a snack bar at the top if you want a $4 precooked hotdog but it’s better to bring your own snacks. We got into the water at 10:15am and met back up with the driver at 2pm to go back to our hotel, again he was right on time. Overall the kids thought it was fun and we would do it again. The best snorkeling is off to the left side of the beach. The water gets clearer the further you go out.

I arrived at the venue at 6:30 and was first guided to the buffet. I sat at a long table and waited for my turn to go to the food table. I could choose from about ten different dishes, including green salad, macaroni salad, sautéed sweet potatoes, curry-cooked white fish, and chicken. The photo shows all the dishes I took a little bit of on two plates. The roast beef and pork were really delicious.

At 7:30, the show began. It was incredibly fun. There were performances featuring nostalgic songs from Michael Jackson and Elvis Presley, along with hula dancing. Michael Jackson's performance was particularly impressive; his moonwalk was very skillful and moving. The hula and Tahitian dance segments were short but very authentic and enjoyable to watch. I was seated near the center, which was a great spot, allowing me to enjoy the show even more.

I’m really glad I got to see this show.

6:30に会場に到着してから、まずはビュッフェへ案内されました。長いテーブルに座って順番がくるまで待ち、料理のあるテーブルへ。グリーンサラダ、マカロニサラダ、さつまいものソテー、白身魚のカレー煮、チキンなど10種類くらいから選びます。写真は二枚の皿に全ての料理を少しずつ持ってきたものです。ローストビーフとポークは本当に美味しかったです。
7：30からはショーへ。これはとてもとても楽しかったです。懐かしのマイケル・ジャクソンやエルヴィス・プレスリーの歌とフラダンスのショー。特にマイケル・ジャクソンは圧巻で、ムーンウォークはとても上手で感動的でした。フラダンスとタヒチアンダンスの部分も、短かったですが、とても本格的で見ごたえがありました。席は優先的にセンター付近に案内してくれました。本当にど真ん中のとても良い席で、ますますショーを楽しむことができました。
今回このショーを見れて本当に良かったです。

We went along to this night not knowing a lot about the performance, other than it was in a very convenient location for us and that it was a very reasonable price. We left being blown away by the sheer professionalism, talent and wow factor of the performers and entire evening.

The pre show dinner was tasty and filling, the service friendly & prompt.

The show was in a lovely theatre with exceptional stage and lighting setup and from the moment the show started our eyes were glued to the stage.

The singers and dancers never missed a beat or note, the lighting was beautiful and the music fun and fabulous. We enjoyed the range of pop performers throughout the eras with Elvis and Michael Jackson impersonators as stand out performers! Even at the meet and greet afterwards Michael was perfectly in character - when I asked him how long his show makeup took he replied in a wonderfully accurate voice "makeup? What makeup??"

The fire dancer was also phenomenal with even bar staff remarking that they tried to align their breaks with his performance to go watch from the back of the theatre! Who needs to go to an overpriced louwow when you've got wonderful traditional hula dancers and performers right here.

5 stars - all round a phenomenal night and a "must see" for all visitors!

Shame that we couldn’t see the USS Arizona memorial - a real disappointment

The ocean in Hawaii is beautiful, but I was really impressed here. Walking in the water is amazing...!

Also, the staff on the boat were fluent in Japanese and very friendly, which kept us laughing the whole time!

We encountered a turtle along the way that was quite accustomed to people and surprised us by coming close! However, it's important to note that touching the turtle is against the law, so be careful.

If you have a camera that can be used underwater, like a GoPro, definitely bring it along.

It was a very enjoyable tour!

ハワイの海自体綺麗ですが、ここはかなり感動しました。海の中を歩けるってすごい…！

また、船の中では日本語が堪能で気さくなスタッフが盛り上げてくれるので、終始笑いっぱなしでした！

途中遭遇した亀がかなり人慣れしており、自ら近づいてきて驚きました！
ただし、亀に触れることは法律違反になりますので、注意が必要です。

goproなど水中でも使えるカメラをお持ちの方は是非持参してください。

非常に楽しいツアーでした！

I visited again because it was so delicious the last time I came at night.
The lunch course was filling and tasty.

They had a Japanese menu prepared, and they showed it to me when I sat down, but as soon as the dishes started coming out, they quickly took it away. When I requested it again, they brought it back.

There were two types of pasta, so I shared them with my friend.

Since I settled the bill here, it was easy to leave as well.

I would like to use this place again.

前回夜訪問してとても美味しかったので訪問。
ランチコースでどれもボリュームもあり美味しく頂きました。

日本語メニューが用意してあって、席に座るときにみせてくれたのに
いざ料理がはじまるとさっさとさげられてしまい。
もう一度リクエストしたらもってきてくれました。

パスタも2種あったので、友人とシェアしました。

お会計もこちらで済んでいるので、帰りも楽ちん。

また利用したいと思います。

The weather was nice, but at the beginning, the water temperature was low and it felt a bit chilly. The water level was about halfway up my shins, but by the end, it was up to my chest, so it really depends on the timing. During snorkeling, I wore a life jacket, so even though I couldn't swim, I was able to float properly. However, the area where we could see the coral suddenly became deep, and I got scared and decided to stop. They quickly came to help me with a boat, which was reassuring. The food was delicious, and I was satisfied that I could play in the sea during my free time.

天気はよかったですが、始まってしばらくは水温が低く、肌寒かったです。 水位はスネ半分くらいでしたが、終わる頃には胸の辺りまであり、本当にタイミングによるようです。 シュノーケリングではライフジャケット着用で、泳げなくてもちゃんと浮いていられましたが、珊瑚を見るエリアは急に深くなり、怖くて途中棄権しました。すぐにボートで助けてくれるので安心です。 食事も美味しく、自由時間に海で遊ぶことができ、満足でした。

I was able to see a sea turtle while on the boat! When we arrived at Angel's Beach, the scenery was very beautiful. The hamburger for lunch was cooked right in front of us and was delicious✨. During snorkeling, we had a great time seeing fish up close.

I accidentally dropped my GoPro while snorkeling and thought we wouldn't be able to retrieve it. However, two days later, the travel company we participated with contacted our hotel and delivered the GoPro to us. I was truly surprised and grateful. It was a wonderful experience and a great memory. Thank you very much!!

The personal attention that you receive during the dinner and pre-show entertainment made you feel so special. The staff remembered your name and details about you — such as where your from, the drinks you like, etc was above and beyond. The food was delicious. My daughter is a vegetarian and they went out of their way to create a vegetarian plate just for her!! The food options on the buffet were all delicious. Both the prime rib and the pork melted in your mouth.

Once we were seated in the theater the videos enriched the show. One of my favorite parts was how the hula girls appearance changed throughout the decades. Elvis was great and Michael Jackson was very impressive. It was more like a musical show than I expected. It was a great surprise. Best night I had in Waikiki ,,,

It was very cold because it was raining. I could put my luggage under the seat, so it didn't get wet, but my feet were bare and since we were on the sea, it was colder than I expected. It's a good idea to bring a bath towel or something when the weather is uncertain. However, the scenery was amazing. I was able to see dolphins too.

雨が降っていたのでとても寒かったです。荷物は座席の下に入れることができるので雨に濡れることはなかったのですが、足ははだしだし海の上なので思った以上に寒かったです。天気があやしいときはバスタオルなど持っていたほうがいいです。しかし、景色は最高でした。イルカも見ることができました。
