Really good trip and got to see turtles up close, highly recommend

It was really cold with low temperatures ><
However, the Japanese female crew member was very friendly and it was fun＼(^o^)／
I slightly regret not snorkeling because of the cold. I will go again!

気温が低くてめちゃめちゃ寒かったです><
でも、女の日本人のクルーの方がとても気さくな方で楽しかったです＼(^o^)／
寒くてシュノーケルをしなかったことが少し後悔でした。また行きます！

Amazing experience. Not only the sandber was so beautiful, but also we ware snorkeling with some turtles along with edge of the coral reef like dream time.

At first, I was a bit worried because it was cloudy, but it cleared up later and was really beautiful! There was a sea turtle that was very friendly with the staff and came really close to the boat; it was so cute!!

Recently, it seems that more people have been bothering sea turtles, and things have become stricter, which is unfortunate.

I thought snorkeling might be a little scary at first, but the moment I saw the underwater world, I completely forgot about my fears! You definitely should try it.

The staff were all fun, the scenery was amazing, and if I get the chance to go to Hawaii again, I would love to participate again.

By the way, it gets really cold after snorkeling, so it's better to have a thick bath towel and other things. You can borrow a blanket, but I think it's best to bring something that can get wet.

最初ちょっと曇ってるかなぁと不安でしたが途中から晴れてきて、とっても綺麗でした！海亀も、スタッフの方にとても慣れている子がいて、船のすごく近くに来てくれて、すっごくかわいかったです！！
最近海亀にイタズラしたりする人が増えて色々厳しくなったりしているようで、残念です。
シュノーケルも、最初ちょっと怖いかも！って思ってましたが、海の中をみたし瞬間全然気にならなくなりました！
絶対やったほうがいいです。
スタッフの方々もみな楽しくて、景色も最高だし、また今度ハワイに行けたら、参加したいと思いました。

ちなみに、シュノーケルの後はとっても寒くなるので、厚手のバスタオルとか諸々あった方がいいです。ブランケットは借りられますが、濡らしてもいい物を持って行ったほうがいいと思います。

Dave and the crew of the Honi Olani catamaran were very friendly and welcoming to their tour guests. We enjoyed our late morning cruise on a bright, sunny day which featured panoramic views of Honolulu, Waikiki and Diamond Head.
Unfortunately, following a through search with all eyes focused on the horizon, we did not see any whales during our late in the season (end of March) cruise. We did see several sea turtles which thrilled the children on board.
At the end of the cruise we received vouchers for another Hawaii Nautical tour which we plan to use on our next visit to Hawaii.
Although we didn't see any whales we would recommend this tour - how often do you have the opportunity to take a catamaran cruise in Hawaii!

It was perfect, the food, the sunset, fireworks and staff, we even met some very nice people aboard as well, the whole experience made our vacation even better

We had a fabulous time! The setting is largely responsible for this, but the people made it extra special. I liked that they had a separate English speaking catamaran. The staff on board were super friendly and very informative. Hamburgers were excellent. Ukelele entertainment was so nice and really added to the atmosphere. Thanks, Jenner! Sandbar was picturesque with the water oh, so warm! We saw LOTS of sea turtles. Snorkeling was great too. View of the coastline was amazing! Caution to the elderly: there is no air conditioning and bathrooms are difficult to access.

In a word, it was amazing! The area near the sandbar is a wonderful place that has been used for Hollywood movie shoots. The water is crystal clear and truly beautiful, and being able to anchor a boat there to go snorkeling, play volleyball, and watch sea turtles... such a precious experience is hard to come by. The hamburger lunch we had on the boat was also exceptional. The tour guides were all cheerful and friendly, making it a tour I would definitely want to join again. Even if you feel the tour is a bit pricey, it is absolutely worth the money. If you're unsure, I highly recommend it.

By the way, we were picked up around 9 AM at the Sheraton bus stop and rode the bus for about an hour (for some reason, we had to wait for a long time right after we started). After that, we headed for about 10 minutes by boat to reach the stunning sandbar. After enjoying some light snorkeling practice and volleyball at the sandbar, we moved to the next area (where we will watch sea turtles, and you can encounter so many of them!). We spent about an hour snorkeling over the coral reef (some areas are quite deep!). We dove from the boat and had fun playing with the tour guides as well. This snorkeling experience was a huge hit with my daughter and mother who joined me, and it became an unforgettable and precious experience. I now have more activities I want to participate in when I go to Hawaii!

一言で表すと最高！でした。
サンドバー付近はハリウッド映画のロケにも使用された素晴らしいエリアで、
海が透き通っていて本当に綺麗で、そんな場所に船を停めてシュノーケリングしたり、バレーしたりウミガメウォッチをしたり・・・あんな貴重な体験はなかなかできません。
船上で食べたハンバーガーランチもまた格別でした。
添乗員の方はみなさん陽気で気さくでまたぜひ参加したいと思えるツアーだと思います。
このツアーは少々高いと感じてもお金を払う価値は十分あります。
迷われているのならぜひともおすすめしたいです。
ちなみに、私たちは朝9時頃にシェラトンのバス停でピックアップしてもらい、バスで小一時間ほど揺られ（何故か出発してすぐの場所で長らく待機させられましたが・・・）そこから船で10分ほど向かった先に絶景のサンドバーが現れました。
サンドバーで軽くシュノーケリングの練習やバレーなどを楽しんだあと次のエリアに移動して（そこでウミガメウォッチをしますが、本当にたくさんのウミガメに出会えます！）
サンゴ礁の上を（深さのあるところはかなり深い）1時間ほどシュノーケリングして過ごします！
船からダイブしたりと、添乗員の方とも一緒になって遊んだり楽しみますww
このシュノーケリングが一緒に参加した娘や母にも大好評で忘れられない貴重な体験になったようです。
ハワイに行ったら必ず参加させてもらいたいアクティビティが増えました！！

We really enjoyed the Early bird cruise with breakfast - so much so that we did it the next day too! We didn't see whales the first day and only had a few days left of our trip so used the whale check the next day and had just as good a time. The food was fine, the staff knowledgable and there were plenty of great spots to be on the boat. I enjoyed being right up the top - great view, warm from the engine vents and speakers so I could hear the commentary.

This was the last night of our 8 day vacation, and it was the perfect ending. Beautiful costumes and choreography. Enjoyed the luau too.

Do not skimp on this cruise... The window seating is spacious and the views are breathtaking! And when you arrive back@ the Harbor, you will be allowed off first. No cramped, uncomfortable seating and no waiting for your meal or to exit off. We're not impatient people but when you have small children and want the views this upgrade is worthy.

The deluxe dinner cruise was great! We upgraded to the window seating and that was a fantastic choice for our family. The investment was worthwhile.The children had front views of the water and full moon. The dinner was good but the beef was the highlight. It was so tender like prime rib! So good!
The fireworks were nice and the entertainment was engaging. The entire staff including the Captain were hospitable and welcoming. It was our second cruise with Navatek but our children's first and it's definitely one of our families' favorite excursions.

Everything was just perfect! I had the super Ambassador package with a private guide and I really felt privileged and I enjoyed the culture and traditions of the Polynesian people. Every show, every cultural event was organized with great respect and love for the Polynesian natives. I had a dip in the full life of seven similar, but very different, traditions, culminating in the wonderful final show: Ha, a breath of life! I also appreciated the fact that the Polynesian Center is carried out by students of the various islands and that our contribution is to support their studies. This is a great way to spread culture! MAHALO!

Special thanks to Clifton, my personal guide. He is a good hearted boy with a deep feeling for his culture and a deep respect for other people.

The Japanese guide staff were very kind to my child, and we really appreciated it! Thank you! We were able to see the whales' spouts and tails 2 to 3 times. When we spotted the whales, my child's excitement was through the roof, and they looked so happy! I'm glad we got to see them♪ If we're lucky, we might also see dolphins and sea turtles, or even a whale jump, so I would love to go again if we have the chance♪

日本語ガイドスタッフに子供が懐いて、大変よくして頂きました！ありがとうございました！私たちはクジラの潮吹きと尻尾を２～３回、見ることが出来ました。クジラを見つけた時は、子供のテンションが上がりまくりでとても嬉しそうでした！見られて良かったです♪
運が良ければ、イルカやウミガメも一緒に見れたり、クジラのジャンプが見れるそうですので、また機会があれば、見に行きたいです♪

The slider offers a fun experience that you can't find in Japan. The deluxe plan includes a 15-minute private board session in the wave pool, and the lunch buffet features chicken, steak, salads, and fruits, finishing off with ice cream, which made the kids very happy.

スライダーは日本では味わえない楽しさ。デラックスプランは波のプールでの貸切ボードが15分あったり、ランチビュッフェはチキンやステーキ、サラダ、フルーツがり、最後にアイスも出るので子供も喜んでました。

It was cloudy at Sandbar, but when the sun peeked through the clouds, the cerulean blue sea looked absolutely beautiful. Truly stunning! The cloudy weather kept the sea temperature down, making it a bit chilly. Later, while having lunch with burgers, it started pouring rain, and I was shivering from the cold. After finishing my meal, I moved to see the sea turtles in the rain. I was thrilled to see many sea turtles and several manta rays at the same time! When we moved on to go snorkeling, I encountered a sea turtle swimming leisurely right in front of me! It was quite cold, but our guide, Gene, provided interesting commentary, making it the best tour where I could fully enjoy both the sea turtles and manta rays!

サンドバーでは曇りでしたが、雲の切れ間から日がさすと、セルリアンブルーの海がとても綺麗でした。本当に美しい！曇りで海水温が上がらず、少し冷たかったです。その後、お昼のバーガーを食べる時に土砂降りになり、寒さで震えました。食べ終わって雨の中、ウミガメを見に移動。たくさんのウミガメと同時に、何匹ものマンタを見ることが出来て大興奮でした。また移動してシュノーケリングに潜ると目の前にウミガメがゆったりと泳いでいるのに遭遇！大分と寒かったですが、ガイドのジーンさんの解説も面白く、ウミガメもマンタも満喫できた最高のツアーでした！

I went out with my brother and it was our first time going to the West Side. we absolutely loved it!

The vessel is brand new and it comfortably accommodates all guest. The crew is very knowledgeable and professional, after the safety briefing they served us a continental breakfast, with a nice variety of fresh fruits and cakes.

By the moment we left the harbor we could already see lots of wild Hawaiian dolphins swimming close to the boat. We were lucky enough to even spot 4 humpback whales, if you are visiting the Island during the winter months you will have big chances of seeing them also.

We've stopped at Makaha Caverns to snorkel. It's absolutely beautiful! The guide was swimming with us around the area and we surrounded by turtles and beautiful colorful fishes.

Lunch was served right after snorkel time, we could make our own sandwiches and choose from barbecue pork, tuna salad, deli meats, cheese, chips and pasta salad. Delicious!

It was a delightful morning, this snorkel tour was amazing! Definitely recommend Hawaii Nautical to everyone seeking for a good time in paradise!

I was worried about seasickness, but since it was a large boat, I was completely fine, and the view of the hotels in Waikiki and Diamond Head from the sea was wonderful.

In the reviews, it mentioned that whales could only be seen from a distance, so I didn't have high expectations, but when we went out to sea and stopped the boat, a mother and baby whale swam right next to us, and we were able to see them up close. I was so moved when I saw them spouting water and their backs and tails that I couldn't help but cheer.

Since there was a campaign where one child could join for free with each adult, I was able to have this valuable experience at a great price, and I'm glad I participated in this tour.

船酔いが心配でしたが、大きな船だったのてぜんぜん大丈夫で、海側からのワイキキのホテル群やダイヤモンドヘッドの景色も素晴らしかったです。

口コミでは、遠くでしかクジラがみれなかったとあったのであまり期待はしてなかったのですが、沖にでて船を停めてると親子のクジラが船のすぐそばを泳いで行き間近でみれました。
潮を吹いて、背中、尾びれが見えた時は思わず歓声をあげてしまうほど感動しました。

大人一人につき子供一人無料のキャンペーンだったので、お得に貴重な体験をさせてもらいこのツアーに参加してよかったです。

I experienced it on April 2nd. It was disappointing that the water level at the sandbar rose to knee height and there was no sandy area, but I was amazed by the gradient of the ocean's color! During the sea turtle watching, I was able to see several turtles from a distance. We went snorkeling around a large coral table, but in some areas, there were only a few fish. When we moved, we encountered many fish, and two sea turtles appeared, swimming so close that we could almost touch them! They were incredibly cute, and quite big! If I followed them, it felt like they would take me to the Dragon Palace. There are also turtles resting under the coral, so it's worth looking closely for them! The burgers grilled on the boat were big and delicious! The staff were fun, and I was really glad to have taken this tour.

4/2に体験してきました。ｻﾝﾄﾞﾊﾞｰではひざ下まで水位が上がって砂地がなかったのが残念でしたが、海の色のｸﾞﾗﾃﾞｰｼｮﾝに感動！ウミガメｳｫｯﾁﾝｸﾞでは少し離れて何匹も見れました。ｼｭﾉｰｹﾘﾝｸﾞは大きな珊瑚ﾃｰﾌﾞﾙのまわりでしましたが、場所によっては魚が数匹しかおらず、移動してるとたくさんの魚と、そしてウミガメも二匹現れ触れるほどの近くで一緒に並んで泳ぎました！！
と～～ってもかわいかった、しかもbigサイズ！ついて行ったら竜宮城に連れて行かれそう。
珊瑚の下のほうで止まって休憩しているカメさんもいるので、よく探してみるといいですよ！
船で焼いてくれるバーガーもbigで美味しかった！スタッフも楽しい方たちで、このツアーで良かったです。

Our tour of the island was very enjoyable. Very happy to see the Pineapples growing, and the lay of the land. The guides were prompt and the guide at the Centre, was especially polite. (Congrats to them, too, for indicating they do not except tips.) We visited three villages but I've done these without a guide and on my own, saw all six villages in the time he took us to three. I know time is spent gathering people and passing out leis and explaining procedures, but this did detract from what we could experience. I would suggest that at the Center, folks are given the option to go with the guide or go on their own. The luau and HA - Breath of Life show are phenomenal!! We had half a house for the audience and I was so impressed with the quality of singing and dancing, of the performers, that I started the standing ovation. Those students really deserve our appreciation!!

We participated as a family of four! The journey from the meeting point to the destination was surprisingly smooth, taking about 40 minutes.

The weather at the site was sunny, and at first, I thought it might be too hot, but there was a breeze that felt really nice. The Island Racer had four courses, and we could compete as a family of four, which was a lot of fun. It was relatively empty, so we rode it multiple times, and by the end, my legs were sore from the muscle strain.

The Tornado was a bit crowded, but it was thrilling enough to be worth the wait. The water flow was quite strong, and if you didn't hold on tightly to the boat's handrails, you could be thrown off!

The wave pool was different from Japan, with strong waves coming one after another, and the kids were having a blast! The lifeguards were also very attentive, showing that they were concerned about safety.

For lunch, we ordered a burger combo at the central shop! I was really hungry, but the amount of fries in the combo was too much to finish. The only downside was that most of the seating for lunch was taken by Japanese people.

On the bus ride back, I fell asleep in no time; it was a very satisfying day. I definitely want to go again!

家族4人で参加しました！
集合から到着までは案外スムーズで約40分ほどで到着しました

現地の天気は晴れていて、はじめは暑いくらいかと思いましたが、風がありとても気持ち良かったです
アイランドレーサーは4つのコースがあり、家族4人で競い合うことができ、とても楽しかったです
比較的空いており何度も乗りました、最後には足が筋肉痛になるほどでした

トルネードはやや混んでいましたが、並ぶ価値があるくらいスリル満点でした
かなり水流が強く体が振られるので、ボートの手すりにしっかり掴まっていないと振り落とされる可能性あり！

波のプールは、日本と異なり強めの波が次々とやってきて子供たちは大はしゃぎでした!!
監視員もかなり気を付けて見張っており安全性にも気を使っているようでした

ランチは中央のお店でバーガーコンボを注文しました！お腹がとても空いてましたが、コンボのポテトは食べきれないほどの量でした
ひとつだけ残念だったのが、ランチをする場所がほとんど日本人により場所取りされていることでした

帰りのバスではあっという間に眠りについてしまうほど、大満足な1日でした
また是非行きたいです

I was completely satisfied with this thrilling experience! I was looking forward to the show in Las Vegas, and it was on a different level compared to Japanese impersonations. It was pure entertainment. I now have another wonderful memory from our spring break trip with my daughter. The backstage tour was a super VIP experience with welcome champagne and a warm greeting from the performers, allowing us to have a great time. Elvis was so cool. Michael was there too. And Lady Gaga! There was a reveal, and we even got to take pictures together, which was fun. The food was surprisingly delicious, especially since I went in with no expectations for the dinner show. I enjoyed lobster, steak, and dessert, which I rarely get to eat in Japan. We had front-row VIP seats. During the show, the performers came to our seats singing and even gave us a kiss on the cheek as part of the VIP service, making it a fun experience. Overall, the VIP treatment was astonishing, and it was a rare experience that I thoroughly enjoyed.

ドキドキの体験に大満足！！
本場ラスベガスのショーとあって楽しみにしてました。
日本のものまねとはレベルが違いますね。
エンターテイメントでした。
娘と二人の春休み旅行の楽しい思い出が1つふえました。
バックステージツアーはウエルカムシャンパンと出演者のかたたちのお出迎えでチョーVIP待遇で楽しい時間を過ごさせていただきました。
エルビスがかっこよかったです。
マイケルもいましたよ。
ガガ様もね！
タネあかしあり、一緒に写真も撮れて楽しかったです。
料理はディナーショーの料理とあって全然期待せずに行ったのが良かったのか結構美味しかったです！！
日本では食べる機会のないロブスターもステーキもデザートもおいしくいただきました。
席は一番前のVIP席。
ショーの途中歌いながら席に来てくれてほっぺにキスのまたまたVIPサービスに、楽しく観れました。
とにかくびっくりするほどのVIP待遇、めったにできない体験で楽しめました。

I participated alone, but I had a great time! I was able to see whales a few times (although they were quite far away (ー_ー)!!). It was a wonderful experience.

一人参加でしたが、とても楽しめました!
クジラも何度か見る事が出来ました（ただ、かなり遠くて(ー_ー)!!）
いい体験でした

It was unfortunately a slightly chilly and cloudy day. We took a shuttle van to the marina where the boats were. We split into two boats and headed out a bit to search for turtles. After that, we took some photos at the sandbar, but unfortunately, due to the weather, it didn't match the image of the bright white sandy beach I had in mind. However, during the snorkeling, we were able to see coral and turtles up close. I definitely want to participate again in the summer.

あいにくの少し肌寒い曇り空の日でした。
送迎のバンで船のあるマリーナへ。
2つの船に分かれて乗船し少し沖へ出て、しばらく亀さん探し。
その後サンドバーで写真を撮ったりしましたが、お天気のせいかイメージしていた青白い砂浜とはいかず残念…。
その後のシュノーケリングでは珊瑚や亀を真近で見ることができました。
次回は夏の時期にぜひ参加してみたいです。

This was exactly what my husband and I had hoped for in a whale watching experience. By being on a sailing craft we were able to enjoy a sail as well as watching for those amazing humpback whales. The crew was fantastic and very informative. Our driver Shannon picked us up at our hotel and was delightful. Chad the captain of the catamaran was most interesting and had a lot to share about the island and the activities.
After hearing that Hawaii was the place to see the humpbacks during the winter months this was a "must do activity", we were not disappointed.
Great Experience - We would do it again.

The pickup was smooth without any waiting, and the boat was average. Since it was a no-meal course, my main goal was to see whales, but in the end, I could only see the whales' backs. The locals mentioned that there have been fewer sightings this year, and I didn't see any jumping. It's partly luck, and it's understandable since they are wild animals.

On the way back, I wanted to walk to downtown instead of taking the bus, so I communicated that to the driver, who kindly agreed and even guided me along the way.

ピックアップも待つことなくスムーズで船も普通で食事なしコースだったので鯨を見るだけが狙いでしたが…結局鯨の背中しか見ることができませんでした。今年は少なくジャンプしてる姿は見ていないと地元の方もおっしゃっていました。半分は運ですね。自然の生き物だから仕方ないですね。
帰りもバスに乗らず歩いてダウンタウンに行きたかったからドライバーさんに伝えると気持ちよくOKして道案内までしていただきました。

We didn't get up to Diamond Head as announced as we had to head back to port for a health emergency with one of the crew.
Otherwise food was great and atmosphere fantastic!

We had a great night! The food was good and the show was amazing! It was worth the beautiful drive and the money paid.

We enjoyed the luau so much! We even got to see several whale breeches in the ocean behind the stage just before the show began. BONUS! Seeing the dancers and all that talent on stage was a great way to spend our evening.
Dinner was good, show was fun and the setting and the way the involved everyone made it that much more fun.

I participated on March 9. While I didn't see any spectacular jumps from the whales, I was able to catch glimpses of their backs and tails. I originally joined with the mindset of "It would be nice to enjoy the view of Waikiki from the ocean while also seeing some whales," so I was satisfied to see the beautiful scenery from offshore and get a close look at the whales. It was also great to see Diamond Head from a direction I had never seen before.

I chose a plan without meals, but since the boarding time wasn't very long, it felt like a waste to spend time eating, so I think it was a good choice. The price with transportation included is very reasonable, and I was glad to make good use of my morning. I recommend bringing binoculars.

3月9日に参加しました。
クジラそのものは豪快なジャンプが見られたわけではなく、背中や尻尾をみることができたくらいではあったのですが、元々「船に乗って沖からワイキキを眺め、ついでにクジラも見られるといいな」というくらいの気持ちで参加したので、沖合からの素敵な景色も見られてクジラも近くで見ることができて満足でした。
ダイヤモンドヘッドも見た事のない方向から見ることができてよかったです。
食事なしのプランを選びましたが、乗船時間があまり長くはなく食事をしている時間はもったいないような気がしますので、これでよかったのではないかと思います。
送迎付きでこのお値段はとてもお得ですし、午前中の時間を有意義に使えたので参加してよかったです。
双眼鏡を持って行くことをお勧めします。
