It might require quite a bit of stamina. I think it would be tough if you're not used to exercising. However, I forget my fatigue and desperately chase after the dolphins. The tiredness hits me later (laughs). I was a bit distant from the dolphins, but it was an emotional experience.

結構体力が必要かも？普段から運動していないときついと思います。だけど、疲れていることを忘れ必死にイルカを追っかけますので。あとで疲れが来ます(笑)
イルカとはある程度距離がありましたが、感動しました。

I was worried about not being able to see any dolphins, but I ended up seeing a lot of them. I was so absorbed in dolphin watching that before I knew it, my husband and I had separated while watching. It was also fun dancing on the boat!

West Oahu Snorkel Cruise with Dolphin Watch, Kayak, SUP, Waterslide & Lunch

Fantastic Morning Dolphins and You Ocean Fun Cruise!

Reviewed by: Cathy, Pittsburgh

We had a great morning cruise with Dolphins and You. The local crew (certified life guards and professional entertainers!) were very friendly and full of energy. They explained everything in both English and Japanese since there were quite a large number of Japanese tourists on our 40 person tour. There was music and dancing on the way to the spinner dolphin site. We sat at the back of the boat and enjoyed the sun and sea air; thank goodness we had lots of sunscreen! I wear glasses and there were prescription masks on the boat so I could see everything clearly.

The crew-led Hawaiian chant and orchid offering when we entered the dolphin site brought us good luck. The crew went in the water with us and pointed out several pods of dolphins swimming right by. I wanted to stay with the dolphins longer, but we had another scheduled stop. At the snorkeling site, a sea turtle swam right under our group and there were lots of fish all around. The inflatable water slide, “surfboard” and kayak added to the fun. For lunch we had cheeseburgers on taro buns with bags of chips — very tasty. The crew sang and danced a couple of hulas on the way back; a perfect ending to a great morning!

We drove from our hotel, arrived at the Waianae Boat Harbor early, and were a little concerned when we didn’t see any signs for Dolphins and You. However, a bus with Dolphins and You on the side pulled into the parking lot right where they said to meet at the specified meeting time. Be sure to take Dramamine if you think you might get motion sickness. Several people on the cruise got sick, even though I didn’t think it was very rough. I took a Dramamine before we left on the Dolphins and You cruise and was fine (I had gotten sick on a previous snorkel trip to Molokini off of Maui). Definitely APPLY SUNSCREEN early and often...the sun is very strong on the water.

A morning on the *Swim with Dolphins Ocean Fun Cruise.*

Reviewed by: Bruce Randolph

We’ve been on snorkeling cruises in the past (some out of Waianae Boat Harbor) but never with this company. We visit Hawaii often (my wife was born and raised in the islands) we view island activities with a critical eye. This was a super dolphin/snorkel trip. The cruise is on a smaller boat, which has the advantage of offering a smaller group of people, a more intimate experience, and a little more adventurous ride - I like all three. Staff on these boats are there to 1. Offer safety 2. Offer service and 3. Offer fun and adventure. The Dolphin’s and You staff were excellent on all counts. I’ve seen the “fun” part on other boats get a little smarmy, but the staff on this boat really did a great job of encouraging people to participate and enjoy themselves without being overly “slick” or pushy. They also had some talented people who shared music I found enjoyable.
I take my own pictures with underwater stills and video. The videographer/photographer on the trip did a super job and was kind enough to show me some great shots while still attending to everyone on board. I wish I could say that about all the snorkeling/watching tours we’ve been on.
Overall I’d say this was a really good trip - for anyone - experienced or novice. Tips: If you have motion sickness, or aren’t sure if you have motion sickness, take dramamine. Do it. Take sunscreen - Use it. If you’re not familiar with photography (above and below water) leave your gear at home. Experience the trip and allow the professional the ship provides offer you some of the best shots you’ll ever see - most likely better images than you can take yourself. Fooling with gear and worrying about taking pictures, will detract from the memories you can make just being in the water and seeing the amazing things the crew will show you.
There are lifetime memories you can take away from a half-day trip like this. It might *seem* pricey to some, but I assure you that it is worth every cent and you’ll be ready for more.

It was incredibly fun. 最高に楽しかったです

Reviewed by: ミックン

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。

Amazing experience!

Reviewed by: Talisha Jackson

This was such an incredible experience. Within minutes of leaving the harbour, there were dolphins next to our boat. We got in the water, and the pods of dolphins were swimming around us the whole time we were in there. When we moved to the snorkeling spot, again there were dolphins swimming straight under us and turtles swimming along the surface. They had great water activities at the snorkel spot, such is the SUP and trampoline. The staff were having so much fun, which made all the guests have heaps of fun. If you needed anything, they were happy to help. This was a highlight of our whole trip. Would highly recommend.

I had a great time seeing dolphins and turtles with the energetic crew early in the morning! I think it's a good idea to take motion sickness medication, as you might experience seasickness. I ended up getting seasick and couldn't enjoy the slides in the second half, but my wife had a blast with the other participants. :) There are only the boat or the restroom to change back, so it might be a good idea to be prepared to head back wet.

Great Snorkel & Dolphin Cruise

Reviewed by: mcavalheiro

I had a blast with Dolphins & You, the cruise was fantastic! The crew was fun, prompt, courteous, engaging and entertaining. We saw a lot of dolphins and they were swimming right next to us. What an amazing feeling it is to be so close to such lovely creatures.
The west side coast is so beautiful, the mountains and the ocean... every where you look you makes you want to take pictures! The snorkel part was also great and for lunch we had a delicious burger.
The boat is so much fun, when they stop on the second snorkel location you also have the chance to play with the water toys, they have water slide stand-up paddle and kayaks.
Even though it might seem like the west coast is far away from Waikiki, it's totally worth the trip. This tour has free pick-up from most of Waikiki hotels and the snorkel spots are much better than the ones in Waikiki. I highly recommend this dolphin cruise to everyone!

Swim with Dolphins is Real!!!

Reviewed by: Ms. Ems

It was my day off and kids were at school so I figured, why not do a "me" just for a day! I invited my friend to join me since she happened to have the same day off. We booked the Morning Cruise at 7:00am since the water is usually warmer and calmer, and we decided to drive ourselves to the harbor. What's good is that there is a restaurant at the harbor where you can buy coffee or breakfast before heading out.

Upon check-in, we were already given our snorkeling equipments, and an option to rent their body suits, which we rented for $10 each. They asked us to sign the liability waiver, and I think' it's cool that they even take your instagram information so they can tag you photos (if you're in it) that they upload at the end of the tour.

The staff and crew are very funny and entertaining! As we were heading out to the ocean, they peformed Polynesian dancing, and playing ukulele. They also performed traditional Hawaiian prayer for our safety. As we were getting closer, we could already see the pod of dolphins, af the signal from the crew members, we jumped to the water and started to swim with these beautiful dolphins!!! I never swam with dolphins in the open water before and this was really exciting!! There were lootsss of them!!

We hopped back on to the boat for our next snorkeling location and that before jumping in the water again, we were given some activity options to take such as stand-up paddle boarding, canoe ride, water slide, and many more!! It was just an awesome experience!!
Their lunch burgers were delicious too which were served as we were headed back to the harbor. It was long day but it was all worth it!!

Oh by the way, make sure to take seasickness pills if you get nauseous easily!

When I put my face in the sea, I was able to see several dolphins swimming. It felt mysterious, and I was moved by the sight of the blue sea and the dolphins swimming.

In May, the sea was a bit cold, so I was glad I rented a wetsuit (for a fee). During our time, there were many guests from other countries, and the staff were very lively, making it a fun time on the boat. I could especially feel the staff's attitude of wanting the guests to enjoy themselves. It was a wonderful time.

I signed up for the 11 AM start. They came to pick me up around 9 AM in Waikiki. It was reassuring to have a Japanese staff member with us from pick-up to drop-off. The weather wasn't great, but we encountered a sea turtle right at the start. As soon as we began snorkeling, we were able to see a pod of dolphins. It felt like we were floating on the surface while watching the dolphins swim below us.

After about 30 minutes, we got back on the boat and enjoyed hamburgers while watching the staff perform hula. I didn't have high expectations for lunch, so it was neither good nor bad. Although it was mentioned that there would be SUP and a slide, there were very few of them, so we couldn't enjoy them much.

The staff were all young and seemed to be having fun joking around the whole time.

I signed up to receive photos on a USB for $55. There were quite a few photos, but only a few of them had us looking decent. Most were pictures of strangers who were on the same boat. I wasn't sure what to do with those. Additionally, there were many photos of dolphins and sea turtles that definitely weren't from today, which was disappointing. I didn't need those kinds of photos.

The day began with an exciting morning call, and while rubbing my sleepy eyes, I listened to the safety instructions and equipment explanations in the stylish bus, which really got my spirits up. Above all, the high energy of the staff was infectious. With their thoughtful attention to detail and unique personalities, the atmosphere on the boat felt like a party, and it was so much fun.

At the dolphin point, I was thrilled to see dolphins swimming slowly right beneath me. At another spot, the water was so clear it felt like I was not even underwater, and I had wonderful memories swimming with sea turtles and tropical fish, losing track of time. I also enjoyed the slide, trampoline, and hula lessons, and I definitely want to participate again next time.

It's a tour that interacts with nature, but there’s so much more to enjoy beyond just the dolphins, so I highly recommend it.

*To those participating: Depending on the season, I recommend renting a wetsuit. My wife loved the logo and ended up buying it.*

This tour was really awesome! The staff was extremely helpful, courteous and knowledgeable. They had so many children on the tour I was on and they handled everything very safely and professionally. This tour doesn't guarantee dolphin sightings but they found them very quickly and easily and were very diligent to be sure everyone had a chance to see them. The Dolphins were in groups of 3-5 and I saw them at least 5 times. It was excellent.
The reef they brought us to was awesome! tons of fish and I saw at least 4 turtles.
I would highly recommend this tour. There are many that just to dolphin sightings, not swimming. Or they only allow 2-4 people in at once so youre not in the water the whole time, but they took everyone at once and kept a tight knit group and had recommendations on how to not scare the dolphins away. It was great. I didn't do any of the water sports because the snorkeling was so good but others looked to be having fun.
Great staff!

My long-awaited first trip to Hawaii! I went in mid-April. The day before was unfortunately rainy, so I was worried about rain on the day of my trip, but fortunately, the weather held up until the end. I was able to see a pod of dolphins, sea turtles swimming along the ocean floor, and schools of small fish, which made for an incredibly moving experience in the crystal-clear waters.

As for advice for those who will be participating, I tend to handle the cold well, but if you are sensitive to cold, be sure to bring a larger towel and a jacket, as it can get chilly, especially with the wind while moving on the boat! Also, since mid-April is the end of the rainy season, I was able to take time off work when things were relatively calm to go to Hawaii. If I have the chance again, I would definitely like to go during the dry season next time.

念願の初ハワイ！
4月中旬に行きました。前日があいにく雨模様だったので、当日雨が降るのが心配でしたが、幸い天気も最後まで崩れる事なく、予定通り？イルカの群れにも海底を泳ぐウミガメにも小さい魚の群れにも会う事ができて透き通るようなきれいな海中もともなって感動の体験でした。
これから参加される方へのアドバイス？ですが、私は寒さには強い方なのですが、寒さに弱い方は、船で移動中は特に風が吹くと寒いので、大きめのタオルとジャケットなど寒さ対策は忘れないように！
あと4月中旬は雨季の終わりという事で、今回も仕事が比較的落ち着いた時にお休みをもらってハワイに行く事ができましたが、もし又機会があれば、今度は是非、乾季に行きたいと思っています。

あまり良くもなく、あまり悪くもない。 Not so good, not so bad.

Reviewed by: トラベラー

I was able to see dolphins. The crew on board, including the captain, skillfully found a pod of dolphins and guided us into the water. I thought they would be further out at sea, but I was surprised to find them closer to the shore. While in the water, wearing snorkeling goggles, we were signaled to "look down!" However, rather than looking straight down, we needed to look ahead at a shallow distance to see the dolphins. During that time, some people in our group couldn't see anything and the dolphins swam away without them getting a glimpse.

While it says "you can swim with dolphins," it seems that the dolphins do not come close to you. The experience felt more like watching a pod of dolphins from the water. If you want to swim with them, I think you would have a more enjoyable time at a seaside park. Additionally, repeatedly getting in and out of the water can be a bit tough for elderly people and small children, especially since the boat isn't very large.

After the dolphin experience, we moved to another location for snorkeling. We spent about 40-50 minutes there. The crew worked hard to provide us with slides and kayaks, and we were able to see sea turtles.

Lastly, I won’t mention names, but one Japanese female crew member who was with us from the pickup was quite disappointing. She was in training, and perhaps it was her first day, as she kept saying things like "I don’t know how to say in Japanese!" and "It's super amazing!"—phrases that are not commonly used in Japanese customer service. Although she played a video with safety instructions, her conversations with senior crew members and the cameraman about her dog and husband (some of which were quite vulgar, mixing Japanese and English) were distracting, making it hard to hear the video. I also wondered about the senior male crew member who didn’t intervene.

I would have preferred if such conversations were held after the tour. It seems they assumed that the Japanese participants wouldn’t understand English, but among those who attended that day, we exchanged glances, thinking, "That person is saying something incredible..." Since most of the participants were Japanese, I wished they had shown a bit more consideration.

イルカは見る事ができました。
船長さん含む船上クルーの皆さんは、慣れた様子でイルカの群れを見つけ、私達を海に入れてリードしてくれました。沖の方にいるのかと思っていましたが、意外に沿岸部にいて驚きでした。海の中では、シュノーケルのゴーグルを付けていて、look down ! 下見て！の合図で下を見るのですが、真下というよりは、前方で、浅く遠くを見ないとイルカは見えません。そうしている間に何も見えずイルカが去ってしまい、全く見られなかった人達も同じグループには数人いました。
”イルカと一緒に泳げる”とありますが、イルカは決して寄って来てくれるわけではないようです。感覚としては、海の中からイルカの群れを見る...という感じでしょうか。一緒に泳ぐならシーサイドパークの方が確実に楽しめるかと思いました。あと何度も海に入る、船に戻るを繰り返し、船も大きいわけではないので、高齢の方や小さい子供は少し辛いかもしれません。

イルカが終わったら、次は場所を移動してシュノーケリングをします。ここで40-50分過ごしました。滑り台やカヤックを出してくださり、ウミガメを見たりとクルーの皆さんはとても頑張ってくださいました。

最後に、お名前は控えますが送迎から一緒の日本人女性クルーが、とても残念な感じでした。
研修中との事でしたが、たぶんその日が初日だったのでしょうか、説明中は、I don’t know how to say in Japanese ! や、超すごいんでぇ！などとあまり日本人の接客では使わない言葉を連発し、「注意事項のビデオを流すので、よく見てください」と流したものの狭い車内の中で、彼女は先輩クルーやカメラマンに、ご自身の犬や旦那様(一部かなり下品な内容を日本語と英語を混ぜて話されていて不快極まりないです)の話、今日これ終わったらうちに遊びに来ない？などと、積極的に話しかけ、その声が邪魔になりビデオの音声なんて聞こえませんでした。それを注意しない先輩男性クルーもどうなのか...。
そういうお話は業務中でなく、終わっかてからしていただきたかったです。ツアーに参加する日本人は全く英語がわからないと思われているのでしょうが、その日に参加した人達の中で、「あの人、すごい事話してるね...」と顔を見合わせていましたよ。日本人参加者がほとんどのツアーなのですから、もう少し配慮をしていただきたかったです。

野生のイルカウォッチング＆ウミガメシュノーケリングクルーズ　ジャンボスライダーやSUPも楽しめる！＜ランチ付き／ワイキキ＆コオリナ送迎／日本語または英語ガイド＞

Snorkeling is the best! シュノーケリング最高‼️

Reviewed by: ヒロキング

I definitely want to participate again! It was great to see dolphins and turtles up close. The instructors were all fun, and I enjoyed the travel time as well. This became my favorite memory from my 7-day trip to Hawaii, and I want to recommend it to my friends and participate again.

After snorkeling, I had a great time playing on the slide and dancing with the staff. Everything was wonderful. The day I went was sunny, but it got a bit chilly when I was in the shade after coming out of the water. Since it was an early morning tour, I still had time to play in the ocean afterward. The photo and video sales were about 10,000 yen for one family. They also sold trainer T-shirts on the bus. Thank you to the staff for a fun half-day!

‼️とにかく 又参加したい‼️
間近でイルカ 亀に会えて とても良かったです。
インストラクターの皆さんも楽しい方ばかりで移動時間も楽しめました。今回のHawaii5泊7日の中で1番の楽しい思い出になり 友達にもススメたいし 又 もう一度参加したいです。
シュノーケリング後 滑り台で遊んだりする時間
スタッフさんとダンスする時間 全部良かったです。僕が行った日は晴れていたのですが 海から上がって陰に居たら寒かったです。朝早くのツアーなので 帰ってからも海で遊ぶ時間ありました。写真・ビデオ販売が希望者には1家族で1万円程でした。トレーナー Tシャツ販売 バス内であります。楽しい半日スタッフさんありがとうございました。

I was able to see dolphins and turtles too! ♡ イルカ・カメもみれました♡

Reviewed by: あかち～

I was worried about oversleeping with an early departure, but they even gave me a morning call. During the boat ride to where the dolphins were, our Japanese guide, Miu, and the crew were all cheerful and made it enjoyable. The dolphins swam close by, and we also got to see turtles up close!

The sea water was a bit cold, but the weather was nice, so I was able to enjoy snorkeling, the slide, and paddleboarding comfortably. The hamburger was delicious too!

I made the best memories on the last day of my stay in Hawaii. I'm really glad I participated!!!

朝早くの出発で寝坊しなかと心配でしたが、モーニングコールの電話もして頂けました。ボートに乗ってからイルカのいるところまでの移動では日本人ガイドのみうさんはじめ、クルーの方がみんな明るく盛り上げてくれ楽しめました。イルカも近くで沢山泳いでくれ、カメも近くで見れました！！
海の水は少し冷たかったけど、お天気もよかったのでシュノーケリングや滑り台やパドルも気持ちよく楽しめました。ハンバーガーも美味しかったです～
ハワイ滞在最終日で一番いい思い出ができました。参加してほんとによかったです！！！

I got to meet a baby dolphin and a honu (sea turtle)! ❤️ babyイルカ・ホヌに会えた❤️

Reviewed by: KUBO family

I searched for Hawaii OP and decided on VELTRA after reading various reviews. From the reservation stage, I felt well taken care of, and I was glad I chose VELTRA.

The morning meeting was quite early, but they provided a wake-up call, and the staff member Miyu was very pleasant and guided us throughout the day.

As for the tour itself, all the staff provided a wonderful Hawaiian hospitality experience, which was fantastic. Of course, we were thrilled to see dolphins and honu ❤️ My husband jumped into the sea and within five minutes, he cramped up in both legs and had to signal for help, and the staff came to his rescue. They were lifesavers. The weather was perfect, but the seawater was a bit cold, and since the bus had air conditioning on the way to and from the site, I think a jacket is necessary. For lunch, snacks like pineapple and hamburgers were provided, but if you're a big eater, I recommend bringing some light snacks besides bananas. I'm really glad I participated.

Hawaii OPを探して あちこちの口コミを見て読んでVELTRAさんに決めました。予約の段階から気持ちの良い対応をして頂き VELTRAさんに決めて良かったと感じました。
朝の集合かなり早かったですがモーニングコールもしてもらい スタッフさんの未優ちゃんが とても気持ち良く 1日を案内してくれました。
肝心なツアーですが スタッフの皆さん とてもハワイアンなおもてなしで 最高でした。勿論 イルカ・ホヌも見れて感激❤️ 夫が海へ飛び込み5分で両脚がツリ すぐにリタイアサインを送り スタッフさんに助けてもらいました。命の恩人です お天気は最高に良かったですが 海水少し冷たく行き帰りのバスは冷房が効いているので上着は必要だと思います。ランチにスナック パイナップル ハンバーガーが出ますが大食いな方はバナナ以外の軽食持参した方がよろしいかと…。参加して良かったです。

2-Hour Afternoon West Oahu Whale Watching Tour - Hawaii Nautical [Dec-Mar]

Whaleless Whale Watch

Reviewed by: Karen R.

Unfortunately we didn’t see any whales on the cruise (the same cruise the day before saw 8 we heard from another passenger), but they gave us a voucher to return because they guarantee you will see whales. We found the crew to be fun and friendly. We appreciated the drinks and snacks. My kids and I have been boating a lot so the rough seas and rainy weather didn’t bother us, but several passengers were sick. A day on the ocean with beautiful island views, regardless of rain, is still better than a day at work or school!
