It was very cold outside.
Even if it's hot during the day, it's better to bring something to wear at night.
I couldn't drink cold beverages because it was too cold.
Everything was in English, so I didn't understand it well, but the show was powerful and enjoyable.

屋外でとっても寒かったです。
日中暑くても夜は羽織るものを持参した方がいいです。
冷たい飲み物も寒くて飲めませんでした。
すべて英語だったのでよくわかりませんでしたがショーは迫力があって楽しかったです。

When I stood on the sandbar, it was very beautiful! However, unfortunately, it seems that the sea was unusually rough since the day before, and the water was murky, making it hard to see the turtles. The snorkeling was also cloudy, so I couldn't see many fish. (;^_^A

サンドバーに立ったときは、とてもキレイでした！
でも残念ながら、前日から珍しく海が荒れたらしく、水が濁っててカメもなかなか見えず、シュノーケルも濁ってて魚があまり見えませんでした(;^_^A

The weather was bad and it was raining, but I was very satisfied to see sea turtles and fish. However, due to the weather, it was extremely cold, and everyone was shivering. The crew was very kind, providing warm coffee and cocoa, and they took a lot of photos for us. I would like to go again when the weather is nice.

天気が悪く雨が降っていたのですが、ウミガメも魚も見れて大満足でした。
ただ、天候のせいもあって、めちゃくちゃ寒く、みんなガタガタ震えていました。
クルーの人達が暖かいコーヒーやココアを入れてくれたり、とても親切で、写真もたくさん撮ってくれました。天気の良い時にまた行きたいです。

Outstanding crew aboard the Holokai Catamaran...Extremely friendly, helpful and fun. They made sure all guests were instructed in snorkel usage before entering the water and were right there next to us in the water ready to aid for any reason.
Our sail was extra exciting as dolphins swam around our catamaran, and we spotted whales too. We were able to swim amongst sea turtles and an array of fish.
*Would I recommend Holokai Catamaran Turtle Canyon Snorkel Sail to my friends and family?
YES!!
*Would I ever take this sail again?
ABSOLUTELY YES!!
Reasonably priced for this adventure with buffet and they do not over crowd the boat. They even had a snorkel with a prescription mask so I could see underwater without glasses.

The sandbar needs no introduction. It was just too beautiful! We were lucky to see sea turtles, and we enjoyed snorkeling as well. Above all, the burgers made by the captain were exquisite! The seasoning was perfect, and I want to go back just to have another burger.

If you're planning to get off at the sandbar to take photos, it's best to have waterproof gear (like covers or underwater-friendly items) to avoid any worries! Also, if you want to change clothes on the way back, you can do so in the boat's restroom, so I recommend bringing a change of clothes. For those who don’t bring a change, a bath towel borrowed from a hotel is essential (you can use it to sit on the bus seats).

The staff are also entertaining, so I highly recommend it.

サンドバーはもう説明不要かと思います。もう綺麗過ぎました！
ウミガメもタイミング良く見れましたし、シュノーケリングも楽しめました。
そして何よりもキャプテンが作ってくれるハンバーガーが絶品でした！
塩加減も絶妙でハンバーガーを食べにまた行きたい位です。

あとは、サンドバーに降りて写真などを撮るのであれば
防水対策(カバーや水中対応の物)した物があれば心配無し！
また、服装は帰りに着替えたい人は船のトイレでも着替え可能ですので
持参をお勧めします。着替えを持って行かない方は
ホテルなどで貸してもらえるバスタオルは必須です。(バスの座席に座る際に敷きます)

スタッフの方も面白いので、お勧めです。

My group contained four total myself, husband, sister and her husband. We loved it! I had difficulties in the beginning but was able to get the hang of it after a little while. I wasn't able to go to the total depth due to my ears, but still it was worth it for me. We saw coral reefs and lots a fish. Turtles were in the area just not seen by our group. On the way to our snuba location we were able to see a few whales breech the surface. The crew on the boat were great and the lunch was delicious. They offered Pork, Chicken sandwiches, fresh fruit and chips. It was rough seas and the boat ride was smooth sailing. Overall rating is 4.5 stars. Whish we could see more whales and see dolphins.

It was a beautiful sandbar. With my husband's guidance, I practiced snorkeling at about knee-deep water, and it was perfect. I was able to see the fish and coral beautifully, and I’m satisfied that I mastered snorkeling. Unfortunately, it became cloudy in the afternoon, and the sea looked dark and chilly. I just wished for the sun to come out. My husband was a bit disappointed because he thought the BBQ would have ribs to bite into. I thought the burger was delicious. It was a great memory for our anniversary trip after 30 years, enjoying the sea in Hawaii.

綺麗な砂洲でした。膝位で主人の指導でシュノーケリングの練習にばっちりでした。魚なや珊瑚が綺麗に見られシュノーケリングをマスター出来私自身満足しています。午後から雲が多く肌寒く海が暗く残念でした。太陽出てと願うばかり。主人がBBQはリブとかかぶりつけると思っていたので少し残念だと。私はバーガーおいしかった。30年ぶりの旧婚旅行　ハワイの海で楽しめていい思い出になりました。

After reading some experiences, I wanted to see this show when I went to Hawaii. Since I wanted to enjoy it to the fullest, I made a reservation for VIP seats. The experience started with dinner, and then we leisurely watched the show. Those who reserved VIP seats were able to enjoy cocktails and snacks before dinner. I didn't have high expectations for the food, but the steak was delicious, and the mashed potatoes with truffles were very tasty. The content of the show was also very fulfilling, and I had a great time until the end. I definitely want to go again when I visit Hawaii.

体験談を見てハワイに行ったらこのショーを見たいと思いました。
せっかく鑑賞するならVIP席が良いと思い予約しました。
最初にﾃﾞｨﾅｰを食べてからショーをゆっくり見るという感じで、VIP席を
予約した人はﾃﾞｨﾅｰの前にカクテルとおつまみを頂くことが出来ました。
食事はあまり期待していませんでしたがステーキも美味しく、トリフが
入ったマッシュポテトがとても美味しかったです。
ショーの内容もとても充実していて最後まで楽しく過ごせました。
またハワイに行った時には是非行きたいと思います。

Every time I come to Hawaii, even with the ocean right there, I find myself going to Wet 'n' Wild Hawaii. The many slides here make the kids really happy. We always ride the slides that can accommodate four family members. I think we'll be coming back again this year.

毎回ハワイに来ると海があるのになぜかウェット・アンド・ワイルド・ハワイにきます。
ここの沢山あるスライダーには子供たちも大喜び。家族４人で乗れるスライダーも毎回乗ってます。また、今年も来ちゃうと思います。

It was a luxury to be able to view the beach from the ocean side. Swimming with the turtles while snorkeling was a lot of fun. There were many turtles, and they seemed unfazed by the large number of tourists. Since we were on a boat, I didn't bring my camera or any money, so I couldn't take any photos, which was disappointing. If you have some pocket money, you can buy drinks.

ビーチを海側から眺められるのはぜいたくでよかった。
カメとシュノーケリングで一緒に泳げて楽しかった。
カメは何匹もいて、観光客がたくさんいても平気そうでした。
ボートだから、とカメラもお金ももっていなかなかったので、
写真がとれず、残念。お小遣いがあると、ドリンクが購入できます。

The sandbar appears on the surface due to the tides, and it seems that it can only be accessed at night on the day of the full moon. The sea was beautiful, and I walked as far as I could while taking photos. On the way to the snorkeling point, I saw many sea turtles and made a wish. After entering the water for snorkeling, I spotted a sea turtle in a coral nook! We locked eyes and swam together. I was told not to touch them, so I didn't, but the sea turtle swam so close that I could almost reach out! It was truly moving! This was my first experience like this. Just thinking about it brings back such a happy feeling.

サンドバーが表層に現れるのは月の満ち引きとかで当日なら夜でないとダメらしかったけど、海はきれいで、どこまでも歩いていけて写真をとりました。シュノーケルのポイントにいくまでに沢山の海亀を見て、願い事をしました。シュノーケルで海に入ってしばらくしたら珊瑚の窪みに海亀が！目が合い、見つめあって海亀と一緒に泳ぎました。触ったらダメと言われてたので触らなかったけど、本当に近く　触れるところを海亀が泳いで！感動！！こんな体験は始めてです。思い出すと幸せな気分がよみがえります。

Great way to see the island. Driver well informed and super friendly. Well recommended.

I researched optional tours online in Japan beforehand! Choosing the major Veltra tour was definitely the right decision! There were Japanese staff members, so I think Japanese people can enjoy it without any trouble! The BBQ hamburger for lunch was delicious too! During snorkeling, I was lucky enough to see a turtle that was over a meter long up close! The sandbar was incredibly beautiful, and I highly recommend this reasonably priced tour!

事前に日本でネットでオプショナルツアーについてリサーチしました！
やはりメジャーなveltraのツアーにして正解でした！
日本人のスタッフもいて、日本人も困ることなく十分に楽しめると思います！
ランチのＢＢＱハンバーガーも美味かったですよ！
シュノーケリングでは運良く１メートル以上あるカメを間近に見ることができました！サンドバーはめちゃくちゃきれいで、リーズナブルなツアーでオススメします！

This was the second time we did this dinner Cruise but this time we took our family with us. We were not disappointed. The care with the service and entertainment was excellent. We would gladly recommend this everyone. The only problem was that my wife does not eat crab but made do with what was available to eat.

Fantastic view, great food, enjoyable entertainment, friendly and professional staff. Felt like king and queen for the night.

We had a phenomenal day! I would absolutely do this again. I loved having a tour guide for our day.

We went on the afternoon cruise on Valentine's Day 2016 that was suppose to leave at 3 p.m. We ended up leaving about 15 minutes late because we had to wait for a van coming from Waikiki with more riders and they were late. We did see whales about 2 miles off the Hilton Hawaiian Hotel. The crew was very friendly and we enjoyed the open bar. It was like a whale watching party on someone's private boat! We had so much fun, that we booked the 5:30 p.m. boat cruise that very same day! Again, the only disappointment was that the boat was suppose to depart at 5:30 p.m., but this time it did not depart until 6:15 p.m. (45 minutes later!) because again, we were waiting on a van that had gone to hotels in Waikiki to pick up more riders and they were late due to traffic. Our boat cruise was cut short by 45 minutes and we only stayed out on the ocean until 7 p.m. so we felt cheated out of ocean time. Again, the crew was friendly but when I pay to spend time on the ocean, I expect and want to spend the entire one and a half hours on the ocean. In the future, I would suggest to the boat company, not to wait for a late van of riders and penalize those who were on time. Or, make sure that your riders get their full time on the ocean by staying out longer if you depart late.

Driver was great and very informative. would highly recommend this to anyone.

I participated with the intention of visiting the sandbar, but it seems that landing on the beach is only possible at limited times. That was a bit disappointing, but I was happy to see many sea turtles while snorkeling. The hamburger was also delicious.

サンドバー目当てで参加しましたが、砂浜に上陸できるのは、限られた時だけなのですね。
そこは少し残念でしたが、ウミガメがたくさん見られて、シュノーケリングしながらも見られて嬉しかったです。
ハンバーガーも美味しかったです。

Overall the cruise was pretty great. Every time ive been i get sea sick and usually its very easy to get the drink mixture for seasickness but my waiter sucked he was unprofessional and never came back without tracking him down. If that wasnt bad enough he never came back to give me more crab legs. Thats one of the main reasons my wife and come on this cruise. This experience was worse than before. I feel as though maybe he was new.i WOULD DEFINITELY recommend this cruise to anybkdy looking for something nice for a date night.

I have visited Hawaii several times, but this was the most beautiful ocean I have ever seen. The water was about knee-deep that day, but it sparkled beautifully in the sunlight. I encountered many sea turtles, which made me feel so happy. The staff were also fun, and it became a wonderful memory.

ハワイには何度か訪れていますが、こんなに美しい海は初めてです。この日は膝くらいの深さでしたが、とにかく太陽の日差しでキラキラ輝き美しかったです。海亀にもたくさん遭遇して、幸せな気分になりました。スタッフの皆さんも楽しくて良い思い出になりました。

We thoroughly enjoyed our trip to Pearle Harbor, the Punchbowl - Pacific memorial cemetery and Honolulu! Ti was a great tour guide. We didn't want a whole day tour and this was perfect.

We woke up early and went, and we were able to see whales beautifully, so the whole family was satisfied and came back happy. If we have the chance to come to Hawaii again in winter, I would like to participate again.

朝早起きして行きましたが見事にクジラを見ることが出来て家族全員満足して帰ってきました、また冬にハワイに来る機会が有れば参加してみたいです。

To start our day, we were greeted timely & warmly. The driver gave us a lot of information on the way to Kailua. The staff was all very attentive & pleasant. Everything was easily accessible to make our day full of as many activities as we decided to do. They had chairs, snorkel equipment, lockers, bikes, & many other item. Also all our questions were answered. We started the day deciding to take bikes to Lanikai Beach. Wow was that beautiful beach!!!! This trip also included lunch which you have a choice of 3 places. When you see locals eating at a place you know its good!!!! After lunch we walked to Kailua Beach and saw amazing parasurfing? This trip could be for people with all ranges of adventure or athletic ability. You have many choices of what YOU want to participate in at whatever level you are comfortable, there is no one pressuring you to do what you don't want to do! We were very happy with our experience & can't wait to come back!
We would highly recommend this trip!
Thank you!!!

This was my first experience in the ocean and snorkelling and sailing. The crew was excellent. Professional, knowledgeable, and very fun. Felt very safe and comfortable at all times. Saw multiple sea turtles, tropical fish, an octopus, sea urchins, and an amazing view of diamond head and Waikiki beach. You won't regret it.

A Japanese guide accompanied us on the shuttle bus, and there were announcements in English followed by Japanese translations on the ship. There was also another Japanese staff member on board.

I was able to spend the time without any inconvenience at all.

There were no participants on the breakfast course. Even without that option, coffee and tea were available for free. With just under 40 people in total, it felt very relaxed.

As for the whales, we were able to see them spouting several times. Although they were a bit far away, it was exciting to see them both over there and here.

Even without specific announcements, everyone was helpful, and I was able to enjoy my time with people from other countries!!

I was worried about seasickness since I was with my mother, but it was so calm that I hardly noticed we had set sail, and there was no rocking at all.

送迎バスから日本人ガイドが同行、船内のアナウンスも英語の後に日本語の通訳の説明がありました。船内にはもう一人日本語スタッフがいらっしゃいました。

全く不自由なく過ごせました。

朝食付きコースの方はいなかったです。無しのコースでもコーヒーや紅茶は飲み放題です。全員で40名弱、とても少なかったのでゆっくりできました。

肝心なクジラですが何度も潮吹きが見られました。少し遠いいですがあっちもこっちもという感じで盛り上がりました。

特にアナウンスがなくても皆さんが教えてくれるので他の国の方々と楽しく過ごせました！！

母と一緒で船酔いを心配していたのですが、出航したのもわからないくらい静かで全く揺れはなかったです。

I was anxious about whether we would see whales, but luckily we encountered them. They showed us spyhopping and breaching, which was very moving. The crew members were cheerful and kind, making it easy to participate with peace of mind. Since breakfast was included, I planned to eat after watching the whales, but when I returned to the boat, they had started clearing away breakfast, so I couldn't eat at my leisure, which was disappointing.

クジラが現れるかどうか、不安だったけど・・運よく遭遇でき・・スパイホップやブローも見せてくれ、とても感動しました。
クルーのメンバーも明るく親切で、安心して参加できました。
朝食付きだったので、クジラを見て朝食を食べようと、船内に戻ったら、朝食の片付けが始まっており、ゆっくり食べることが出来ず、残念でした。

Since we came all the way to Hawaii, my daughter (6 years old) and I participated in the activity together. To be honest, my daughter was a bit scared of the ocean and was feeling anxious, but thanks to the kind and attentive staff, we were able to fully enjoy the experience. By the end, she had completely warmed up to it.

Turtles appeared multiple times, coming right up close to the boat and poking their heads out. Even small children could see them with the naked eye. We were even lucky enough to see a manta ray, which made my daughter very excited! At the sandbar, the water was waist-deep when moving from the boat, which was a bit deep and made her scared, but we were able to see crabs and fish, and by the end, she was practicing putting her face in the water with a snorkel on.

When we got back a little early, the staff happened to be feeding the fish, and my daughter got to participate, which was a great experience for her.

Just a note for those bringing small children... The air conditioning on the bus is quite strong both going and returning. Especially on the way back, since there’s no place to change, depending on the age, I think it’s better to have them change quickly. For the trip there, I had my daughter wear a dress over her swimsuit, but just in case, I brought an extra set of underwear, so on the way back, I had her change out of her swimsuit and wear the dress with her underwear. I also wrapped her in a larger towel that I brought as a blanket. As expected, she fell into a deep sleep, so I was relieved that I didn’t have to worry about her catching a cold!

せっかくハワイに来たのだから、と娘（6歳）と二人で参加しました。実を言うと、海が少し怖い娘は、内心ビクビクしていましたが、現地のスタッフの方々の優しく、細やかなお心づかいのおかげで満喫できました。最後はすっかりなついていました。
カメは何度も姿を現し、船のすぐ近くまできて頭をだしてくれます。小さなか子でも肉眼で確認できました。珍しくマンタまで見れて娘はおおはしゃぎ！サンドバーでは船から移動するときは水深が腰まであり、少し深いので怖がりましたが、蟹や魚も見れて、最後にはシュノーケルをつけて顔を海につける練習までしていました。
少し早めにあがると、たまたまスタッフの方が魚に餌付けしており、娘もさせていただき、よい経験になりました。
ひとつだけ小さなお子さんをお連れの方へ…行も帰りもバスの冷房はしっかりかかっております。特に帰りは着替える場所がないので、年齢にもよりますが、ぱっと着替えさせてあげたほうがいいと思います。娘には行きはワンピース＋水着の恰好でいかせましたが、念のため、と下着をもっていったので、帰りは水着をぬがし、ワンピース＋下着で帰らせました。そして1枚多めにもっていった大きめのバスタオルを毛布がわりに包み込みました。案の定、爆睡したので風邪をひく心配をひとつ削れましたよ～～

The whales were just fantastic, and we saw two spyhops, lots of flukes and around a dozen blows. All in all a just wonderful sight. Breakfast buffet was only average but who cares about that??!!!!

This is definitely an activity you must do when staying in Hawaii for the first time. If you don't go, you'll be missing out. Unfortunately, I experienced bad weather partway through, but the guide was very friendly, and it turned out to be a wonderful experience. I highly recommend everyone to go!

とりあえず、ハワイに初めて滞在したら必ず行かなきゃいけないアクティビティです。
行かない方は損です。
私はあいにく途中から悪天候でしたが、ガイドさんも凄く気さくな方で、素晴らしい経験になりました。
皆様是非行かれてください
