3-Hour West Coast Snorkel Cruise & Marine Life Safari by Dolphin Excursions

Dolphin & Snorkel Tour

Reviewed by: Kylie

This was without a doubt the highlight of our holiday, loved it. The girls that took us out were great, they took us to our first location where we got the chance to swim with about 5-6 dolphins, then we moved on to the sea turtles, just great. On our return trip the girls took us back to our first location where there was now a pod of about 70 dolphins that we got to swim with. Just amazing. Thanks girls.

Taro bread is the best! タロイモパン最高!

Reviewed by: narumi ishikawa

I participated in October 2011. I apologize for the old story. I was anxious about bringing my five-year-old twins, but thanks to Yuka (I wonder if she’s still there), everything was completely fine. The kids got so comfortable that they flew over to me while I was already in the sea. Having twins was no obstacle at all, and I’m very grateful.

2011年10月に参加しました。古い話でスミマセンが。
双子の五歳児連れで不安がありましたが、ユカさん(今もいるかな)
のおかげでまったく大丈夫。子供たちもなついて安心するあまり、
先に海に入ってた私のところに空中を飛んできました。
双子連れが全く障害にならず、感謝感謝。

I was very satisfied to see dolphins and sea turtles. いるかも海亀もみれて大満足

Reviewed by: Rui

I participated with a senior colleague from work. The staff were very friendly, and there was music playing on the boat, creating a fun atmosphere. I was expecting a BBQ on board, but it was just simple hamburgers, which was a bit disappointing. However, they were very delicious! Everyone had the chance to see dolphins and sea turtles, as we were able to enter the water twice at the designated points. The hula dancing was physically demanding, but I enjoyed the whole day. I think it would be a lot of fun to participate with a large group of friends.

会社の先輩と参加しました。
スタッフの方々がとても気さくで船上でも音楽がかかっていたりと、
楽しい雰囲気でした。
船上ではBBQと聞き、期待していましたが簡単なハンバーガーだったのが少し残念でした。とても美味しかったですが!
イルカと海亀は全員がみれるようにポイント地点では2回海に入ることができました。
体力的にフラダンスがキツかったですが一日中満喫できました。
大人数の友達と参加するととても楽しいと思いました。

I really enjoyed this tour. It was the highlight of our trip! Even though I was not a good swimmer and had never snorkeled they really took good care of me and encouraged me every step of the way! I was impressed with the ladies who escorted us. They made sure we all saw the dolphin's and turtle's. I'm ready to try this adventure again! Cher

3-Hour West Coast Snorkel Cruise & Marine Life Safari by Dolphin Excursions

Excellent adventure. Don't miss it!!

Reviewed by: Stone Family

This was awesome!!! We not only saw dolphins but we saw humpback whales at the end of their migration. They also took us to a reef where we snorkeled with a sea turtle and saw tons of tropical fish. The girls on the boat crew were awesome. Highly educated about the ocean environment and the sea creatures. This was definitely one of the highlights of our Hawaii vacation. Don't miss this activity. Especially if you can do it during the whale migration season. Also, Domingo, our shuttle driver that picked us up from the hotel was a great tour guide as well.

3-Hour West Coast Snorkel Cruise & Marine Life Safari by Dolphin Excursions

Just Terrific

Reviewed by: garathome

They pick you up at your hotel and drive you to the west side. They gear you up, they advise you not to touch or chase. You get on the water and if you're lucky, like us, you spot a pair of hump back whales. Then when they locate the dolphin herd, you get to swim among them for about an hour. Then you get to spend almost as much time over a reef, where you can swim with sea turtles and other fish. It was just terrific.

Then you get a decent sandwich and a drink, because you will be hungry after a full morning. Then they drive you back to Waikiki.

Excellent photo disk available to chronicle your trip, at a good price, if you wish. 400 photos of your trip + bonus file with great pics of dolphins, whales, and the area.

Only negative was no changing facility, public restrooms only. Also no bathroom on the boat so be prepared.

Definitely worth the price for this experience.

It was fun. 楽しかった

Reviewed by: さくらん

The distance to the dolphins was far, and the snorkeling experience to see the dolphins was quite short, lasting less than 10 minutes, which was disappointing. However, there was plenty of time for snorkeling with sea turtles after moving to another location, so I wish I could have seen the dolphins a bit longer.

The staff members were very kind.

イルカとの距離が遠く、イルカ見学のシュノーケリング自体は10分弱とかなり短かったのが残念。 その後移動してからのウミガメなどのシュノーケリングタイムはたっぷりあったので、もう少しイルカを見たかったです。

係員の皆様は大変親切でした。

Such an amazing experience! The staff were really helpful and friendly and knew a lot about the animals we would be seeing. We got to snorkel with a pod of dolphins for about an hour - an hour and a half, which was fantastic and then they took us to another snorkel reef spot where we saw about 5 sea turtles ! Would definitely recommend it !

Whale and turtle クジラとカメ

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

On the way to see the dolphins, we were lucky enough to spot a whale. It's not often you get to see one so close. After that, we jumped into the sea where the dolphins were. We were able to see dolphins swimming in a group, but unfortunately, they were too deep, so it didn't feel like we were swimming with them. At the snorkeling spot, we were able to see a turtle. It swam quickly and dove down, so only a few people near the cameraman got to see it. When we returned to the boat, they handed out hamburgers and drinks, but since I couldn't eat due to seasickness, they packed it up for me to take home. Although it was disappointing about the dolphins, it was great to see the whale and turtle up close.

イルカを見に行く途中クジラを見ることが出来ました。
こんなに近くで見れるのはあんまりないということでラッキーでした。
その後イルカのいる海に飛び込みました。
集団で泳いでいるイルカを見ることは出来ましたが、イルカが深すぎて、一緒に泳いでるという感じではなかったのが残念でした。
シュノーケルのスポットでは、カメを見ることができました。
泳ぐのが早くすぐ下に行ってしまったので、見れたのはカメラマンさんの近くにいた数名でした。
船に戻るとハンバーガーやドリンクスナックを配っていただきましたが、船酔いで食べれなかったら袋に入れてお持ち帰りにしてくれました。
イルカは残念だったけど、クジラとカメが近くで見れたのでよかったです。

The dolphin in front of me. 目の前のイルカ

Reviewed by: KOMO

I absolutely wanted to swim with dolphins, so I signed up for a tour. The boat ride wasn't too difficult, and I enjoyed the crew's performance on board. However, due to the rain the day before, the water clarity was poor, and it wasn't the bright blue sea I had hoped for with the dolphins! While searching for dolphins, I repeatedly prepared to jump in, but I was only able to see dolphins twice and couldn't swim with them. Unfortunately, I didn't see many fish at the snorkeling spot either. However, the water was not cold, and I could float comfortably. The special double burger on the boat was a lucky find! The excitement of seeing the dolphins was definitely there. I hope to swim with them next time. The hula was okay and somewhat interesting.

P.S. The boat does sway with the waves, so don't underestimate seasickness. I was fine since I'm used to it, but several people did get seasick. If you're participating, make sure to take motion sickness medication before boarding (^^).

絶対にイルカと一緒に泳ぎたくて、ツアーに申し込みました。
船での移動はそれほど苦にはならず、船上でのクルーのパフォーマンスも楽しめました。
ただ、前日の雨の影響で海の透明度が悪く、青く輝く海でのイルカ!!とはいかなかったです。
イルカを探しながら、何回も準備して飛び込んでを繰り返しました。結果、2回イルカを見る事ができましたが、一緒に泳ぐ事はできませんでした。
シュノーケルのポイントもあまり魚を見る事ができず、残念でした。
でも、海の中は寒くなく、気持ちよくぷかぷかできました。
船上のハンバーガーは特製ダブルバーガーが当たり、ラッキーでした!
イルカを見れた感動は確かにありました。
次回は一緒に泳げればと思います。
フラはまあまあ、おもしろかったです。

P.S
船は波を受け揺れるものです。船酔いを甘く見ないほうがいいです。私はなれているので大丈夫でしたが、船酔いした方が何人もいらっしゃいました。参加する方は酔い止めを服用してから乗船しましょう(^^)

Participation in the summer is recommended. 夏の参加がお勧め

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

The waves are high in winter, and even with taking motion sickness medication, I got seasick. I ended up feeling unwell before I could meet the dolphins, and in the end, I couldn't do anything. It was also very cold on the boat. Since we were on the boat for about three hours, it might be tough for those who are prone to seasickness. I did see a few dolphins, but it seemed quite difficult to swim with them on the day I participated. The staff members were all very nice and seemed to be having fun. Summer is said to have relatively calm waves, so I recommend participating in the summer.

冬は波が高く、酔い止めを飲んでいても船酔いしました。
イルカに出会うまでにダウンしてしまい、結局何もできなかったです。そして船の上はとても寒かったです。
船には3時間ほど乗っていますので、船酔いしやすいかたは大変かもしれません。
イルカは少し見れましたが、私が参加した日は一緒に泳ぐのがなかなか難しかったようです。
スタッフの方たちはとても良い方たちばかりで、楽しそうでした。
夏は波が比較的おだやからしいので、夏の参加がおすすめです。

Be cautious of seasickness. 船酔い注意

Reviewed by: mg12

In winter, the waves are particularly rough, and you may get seasick. The seawater is also murky, so while they do provide snorkeling gear, it might not be that impressive. It gets quite cold on the boat, so the chill after getting out of the water can be tough; those who are concerned about their health should take care. Additionally, the BBQ on the boat only includes hamburgers, so it might be best not to have high expectations.

冬は特に波が荒く、船酔いします。
海水も濁ってますのでシュノーケルもつれてってくれますが、そこまで感動はないでしょう。
相当船の上は寒いので水から上がってからの寒さは大変ですので、体調に不安がある方は気をつけた方が宜しいかと。
また、船上BBQはハンバーガーだけですので、期待はなさらない方がいいかと思います。

Captain and crew,
Thank you very much for the wonderful time.
As the only Japanese participant, I greatly appreciated the individual explanations in Japanese.
I joined this time alone, and at first, I was a bit worried, but thanks to the crew's support, I was able to become friendly with the other participants, even exchanging handshakes and saying "thank you."
Thank you for the truly wonderful time and kindness.
I am considering participating again in two years.

キャプテン始めクルーの皆さま
大変楽しい時間をありがとうございました。
日本人が私1人という事で、個別に日本語で説明をして頂き。大変助かりました。
今回は1人での参加でした。最初は少し心配をしておりましたが、参加された方々とは「サンキュー」といって握手を交わし合うまで、親しくなれたのもクルーの皆さまのフォローがあったからです。
本当に素敵な時間と、やさしさをありがとうございました。
2年後になりますがまた是非、参加したと考えております。

Thank you for your support at the end of last year.

Thanks to the friendly staff, I was able to have a great time even though I participated alone.

I was truly happy to play with my favorite dolphins, but it seemed like there were fewer dolphins than usual??? Well, I guess that's just how it is with wild animals...

I was also moved to encounter other rare characters besides the dolphins!! Especially being able to see a humpback whale's tail up close and witnessing the relaxed姿 of the honu (sea turtle) underwater made for an amazing escape from reality, and I am very grateful for the wonderful memories I have kept in my heart♪

When I go to Hawaii again, I look forward to your support! _(._.)_

昨年末はお世話になりました。

気さくなスタッフのおかげで一人参加にもかかわらず
楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。

大好きなイルカと戯れることができて本当に幸せでしたけど
例年よりもイルカの数が少なかったような???
まぁ、野生だから仕方ないですけど・・・

イルカ以外の貴重なキャラクターにも出逢えて感動でした!!
特にザトウクジラのテールを真近で見れたり、
ホヌのまったりした姿を海中で見れたりして最高な現実逃避に
とても素敵な思い出を胸に秘められて感謝です♪

またハワイへ行った際には、どうぞよろしくお願いします_(. .)_

It was cold! 寒かった~

Reviewed by: ゆるり

I was able to see dolphins, turtles, and beautiful fish, but it was very cold, perhaps because of the overcast sky. Everyone borrowed wetsuits, but especially when coming out of the water, there were several people, including myself, shivering. They lend you blankets, but since they get wet and don't cover your whole body, I ended up wearing a windbreaker and wrapping myself in a towel and blanket, looking like a rice ball. Depending on the weather, I think people who are sensitive to the cold might enjoy it more in a warmer season. However, the local staff were high-energy throughout, cheering us on with songs and dances. There were also three small children participating, and they were attentive to ensure they weren't scared, which showed their professionalism.

After getting back on land, there was a hula lesson in a nearby open space, but personally, I didn't think it was necessary. Free hula lessons can be experienced in various places, so if they were going to take so much time for the hula lesson, I think it would have been more enjoyable to have a longer free time for snorkeling, kayaking, and paddle surfing. Since there was only one kayak and one paddleboard, it seemed like each person could only ride for about five minutes within the short time frame.

One last thing: since it was overcast the whole time, I ended up getting sunburned because I didn't reapply sunscreen. Regardless of the weather, it's better to reapply it multiple times.

いるかにも亀にもきれいなお魚たちにもあえましたが、ずっと曇り空だったせいか寒くて寒くて…。全員ウエットスーツを借りていましたが、特に海からあがると、私を含めがたがたと震えている人が何人もいました。毛布を貸してくれますが、濡れるし体全体を包めるわけではないので、私はウィンドブレーカーを着てタオルと毛布をまきつけて、おむすび状態になっていました。天候によるでしょうが、寒がりの人はもう少し暖かい季節を選んだほうが楽しめるかと思います。ただ、現地のスタッフさんは終始ハイテンションで、歌や踊りで盛り上げてくれて、また、小さいお子さんが3人も参加していましたが、怖がらないように色々気を配っていて、プロ意識を感じました。陸にあがってから、少し離れた空き地でフラレッスンがありましたが、私的にはいらなかったかな。
無料のフラレッスンは結構いろんな場所で体験できるので、フラレッスンの時間をこんなにとるのなら、最後の自由時間(シュノーケル、カヤック、パドルサーフィン)をもっと長く取ってくれた方が楽しめたのではないかと思いました。カヤックもパドルサーフィンも1台ずつしかないので、短い時間内だと一人につき5分くらいしか乗れなかったようです。
最後にもう1つだけ。ずっと曇り空だったので、日焼け止めをつけなおししなかったらしっかり日焼けしてしまいました。天気に関係なく、何度も付け直しした方がよいですよ。

I was moved to encounter dolphins and turtles!! イルカ・カメに出会えて感動でした!!

Reviewed by: aiko

After departing by boat, we encountered dolphins almost immediately (around 20 minutes in?), and everyone hurriedly jumped into the sea. We put on floating devices like life jackets and jumped into the water, but it might be a bit tough for those who can't swim.

While battling seasickness from the boat and the waves after entering the water, we swam close to the dolphins several times (for about 30 minutes?), which was very hard, but it was incredibly moving to meet the dolphins in the sea. In my case, I was a bit far away, so unfortunately, I couldn't quite feel like I was swimming with them.

After that, we moved by boat to another spot to see sea turtles. We were able to swim close enough to touch the sea turtles if we reached out, making it a very satisfying tour.

Finally, I wanted to mention some highlights of this tour for those who are unsure about which tour to choose:
- Encountering dolphins and turtles
- Availability of restrooms
- Receiving a group photo for free (two photos via email)
- Being able to rent a wetsuit ($5)
- Having Japanese staff present
- All staff members were enthusiastic and supportive of the participants.

船で出発後、すぐに(20分ぐらい?)イルカと遭遇し、みんなあわてて海へ飛び込みました。
ライフジャケットのような水に浮くものを装着して海の中に飛び込みますが、泳げない人はちょっと厳しいかもしれません。。。
船上での酔いと海に入ってからの波での酔いと戦いながら、イルカの近くまで何度も泳いだので(30分ぐらい?)とてもハードでしたが、イルカと海の中で会えて、とても感動しました。
私の場合は少し距離があったので、残念ながら一緒に泳いだ感覚にはなれませんでしたが。。。
その後、別のポイントまで船で移動しウミガメを見に行きました。
ウミガメとは手を伸ばせば触れるぐらい近くを泳ぐことができ、大満足なツアーでした^^

I also met dolphins, turtles, and whales. イルカ&カメそしてクジラにも会いました

Reviewed by: sol

The hotel pick-up was at 6:00, so I rubbed my sleepy eyes and headed to the meeting point. They asked about the hotel location in advance, so they came close to the hotel.

The staff were very kind and high-energy! I was worried about feeling lonely since I was participating alone, but they made an effort to include me, so I didn't feel lonely at all. By the way, there were two other solo participants besides me.

As soon as we set sail, we saw a whale. However, it took a while for the dolphins to appear. Finally, we spotted them and were able to see them up close three times. Since it’s the birthing season, there were baby dolphins too.

During snorkeling, I was able to see turtles, various beautiful fish, and even rays.

On the way back, we saw two whales very close to us again.

It was full of experiences that you can't have in Japan, and I can't wait to brag about it to my family and friends when I get back.

This is definitely a tour you should join!!

Thank you so much to the crew!

ホテルには6:00のピックアップだったので、眠たい目をこすって集合場所へ。事前にホテルの場所を聞いてくれるのでホテルの近くまで来てくださいました。

いざ出航してすぐにクジラがいました。だけどなかなかイルカは現れてくれません。やっと見つけて飛び込むこと3回とても近くにイルカを見ることができました。今は出産シーズンということで赤ちゃんのイルカもいました。

You can see dolphins and sea turtles up close! イルカもウミガメも真近!

Reviewed by: Aya

The staff were all very cheerful, and I had a great time on the boat!

I saw a lot of dolphins, and there was even a sea turtle right next to me (laughs). The taro burger after swimming was also really delicious!!

I'm very satisfied!

とにかくスタッフの方がみんなノリが良くて、船の上がすごく楽しかったです♪

イルカもたくさん見れて、ウミガメなんてすぐ隣にいました(笑)泳ぎ終わった後の、タロイモバーガーもすごく美味しかったです!!


満足です(^O^)

Boat troubles 船のトラブル

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

After seeing the dolphins, while moving to a point where we could see sea turtles, we were stopped in the water due to engine trouble. We returned to port safely on the one boat that was functioning. The hula dance lesson, the staff's planned dance on the boat, and the BBQ lunch (which had been cooked on the boat but was cold) were held at a park instead.

It seemed to be an unexpected trouble, but the staff were smiling, kind, and fun, which made me forget that we hardly got to do any snorkeling or experiences like kayak surfing or paddle surfing.

However, what was disappointing was the company's response. Despite the schedule changes due to the boat trouble, the apology was simply a discount on the DVD (which could be purchased by those who wanted it) from 8,000 yen to 3,000 yen. At that moment, everyone was tired from seasickness and agreed to it, but considering that some might not want to purchase it, I found it strange.

It was truly disappointing, especially since all the staff were great. Among the group, I was the only one participating for the second time, and knowing how much fun I had the first time made me feel sorry for my friends who joined me this time. Even though it was an unexpected trouble, I believe such situations could happen again in the future, and I hope they will consider a proper response.

I appreciate the participants and the staff for their efforts. Thank you very much.

イルカを見たあとに、ウミガメのみれるポイントに移動中、
エンジンのトラブルで、海の上で足止め、
二つのうち一つ無事なほうで、帰港しました。
フラダンスレッスン、船上で予定していたスタッフのダンス、BBQランチ(船で焼かれたものを持ってきてあり、冷えてました)は公園で行われました。
予想外のトラブルだったようですが、スタッフの方たちは、笑顔で優しく楽しく、結局シュノーケリングがほとんどできなかったこと、カヤックサーフィンやパドルサーフィンなどの体験もできなかったことを忘れさせてくれる気がしました。

ただ、残念なのが、会社の対応です。船のトラブルで、スケジュールに変更があったにもかかわらず、お詫びが『(希望者のみ購入する)DVD8000円を3000円に割引します』といったものでした。その場では、皆船酔いなどの疲れもあり、了承しましたが、購入しない場合もあることを考えるとおかしいと思います。

スタッフの方たちが、全員よい方だっただけに本当に残念です。グループで参加の中、私だけ二回目参加で、一回目とても楽しかったことを知っていただけに一緒に参加した友人にも申し訳ない気持ちになりました。
予想外のトラブルとはいっても、今後もあり得ることだと思いますし、キチンとした対応を考えていただきたいと思います。

参加者のかたたち、スタッフのみなさんの対応には感謝いたします。ありがとうございました。

3-Hour West Coast Snorkel Cruise & Marine Life Safari by Dolphin Excursions

Absolutely Fantastic!

Reviewed by: Tina

I've been on a few excursions. . .all have been fun, but this was my favorite. I highly recommend it! The staff was great fun and very knowledgeable. We saw so many dolphins, a sea turtle, and a sting ray. We were able to snorkel along side and enjoy! It was a bonus they had a photographer on board that took underwater pictures so we have our memories in pictures of all we enjoyed that day. You won't be disappointed!!

It was a disappointing result. 残念な結果でした

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I participated with the expectation of meeting dolphins and possibly swimming with them. However, it seems to be a rare case, but I didn't see any dolphins at all, and there weren't many turtles or fish either, which was disappointing. The staff were all very friendly, and the atmosphere was good, but I was really let down that I couldn't see the dolphins, which I was looking forward to the most. It's understandable since it's nature, but...

イルカに会える、しかも一緒に泳げるかもしれない、と、期待して参加しました。ところが、まれなケースみたいですが、全くイルカには会えず、亀や、魚も目立つようには居なかったり、残念でした。
スタッフは、楽しい方ばかりで、雰囲気は良かったんですが、一番楽しみにしていた、イルカを見ることも出来なかったのは、本当にがっかりでした。自然相手ですから、当たり前なんですが・・・

It was fun! 楽しかった!

Reviewed by: かな

This was my third time participating. Unfortunately, I couldn't meet the dolphins for the first time... But I had a great time with the crew and other guests. I participate about once every six months, but I was most disappointed that my favorite crew member, a boy, had left.

今回3回目の参加でした☆
残念ながら初めてイルカと会えず。。。
でもクルーの方たちやほかのお客さんと楽しい時間を過ごせました♪
半年に1回のペースで参加していますがお気に入りのクルーの男の子がやめてしまっていたのが一番残念だったなぁ。。。

Halloween Week Review

Reviewed by: Rhode Island Couple

This was our second visit with this company and we were even more pleased this time than we were before!

This is a well run company staffed by people who know how to please! Captain Jenna and First Mate Katie were both superb! There was little wasted time looking for dolphins and turtles as Jenna knew right where to go to find them. She also ensured we had the maximum time in each area. We came away very satisfied.

Yes, we would even entertain another visit and hopefully bring friends.

Also, Jim Ward was a very personable photographer who was very prompt in send out his photos for download.
