It was a day when the weather was a bit concerning, but it didn't rain during the tour. I was able to fully enjoy it. Towards the end, there was a heavy downpour and thunderstorms. It was an unforgettable experience. I would love to experience it again if I have the chance.
天候が、少し気になる日でしたが。ツアー中は雨降らず。堪能できました。
終了間際から豪雨。雷雨。忘れられない体験でした。また機会があればもう一度体験したいと思います。

In the morning, I was a bit worried because it was very early, but the guide arrived on time and was very energetic, so I didn't get bored on the bus. We were able to jump from the boat and see dolphins, and the local staff, who are also professional hula dancers, showed us wonderful hula dances on the boat.
There were some people who got seasick, but the hamburgers they made on the boat were simple yet delicious! I felt like I wanted to swim more in the ocean, but it was a lot of fun.
朝、とても早かったので少し心配でしたが、ガイドさんも遅れずに来てもらえし、朝から、とても元気なガイドさんだったので、バスでも退屈しませんでした。 船から、飛び込み、イルカを見ることもできましたし、フラダンスのプロでもある現地スタッフの方々が船の上で素敵なフラダンスも見せてくれました。
船酔いされていた方もいらっしゃいましたが、船の上で作ってくれた、ハンバーガーはとても素朴でしたが美味しかったです! もっと海で泳ぎたかった気もしますが、とても楽しかったです。

The whale watch cruise was a great afternoon experience. The catamaran used was in top shape. The tour was not over crowded and the crew took care of everyone's needs. Saw many whales and even some dolphins and sea turtles. Glad the afternoon weather was beautiful which made being out on the open water enjoyable. Definitely do this tour again.

Take the tour with this company! We were hoping to see some whales and have a great cruise on the ocean. Our cruise turned out beyond expectations. Not just because we saw lots of whales but Captain Amy and her happy crew had the best attitude. They were knowledgeable, very considerate, and made sure we had fun. Despite the downpour of rain at the very end, even this turned out to be a fun adventure!

On the 1:30 PM cruise, it mentioned that "light snacks" were included in the price. I was expecting something like sandwiches, but it turned out to be just potato chips and cookies. I think it would be better to describe this as snacks rather than light meals. However, the beer was unlimited. Of course, we also saw whales. Ah, I'm so hungry!!!
午後1時30分のクルーズで、料金に含まれているものの中に「軽食」とありました。サンドイッチくらいでるのかな、と思っていたら、なんとポテトチップとクッキーのみでした。これでは軽食でなくお菓子と記載した方が良いと思います。でも、ビールは飲みほーだいでした。もちろん、クジラも見えました。あー、腹減った!!!

Overall, it was cloudy, but it was great that it was sunny during the dolphin watching by boat and at the water play area.
The weather had not been good for about a week, and there was a possibility that we might not see any dolphins, but we were able to see a pod of about 20 dolphins and a sea turtle, which was amazing.
*Some people were feeling nauseous, so I think it would be a good idea to take motion sickness medication with you or bring some along.
全体的に曇りでしたが、ボートで向かうイルカウォッチング、水上遊び場所では晴れていて良かったです。
1週間程天候が良くなく、イルカを見ることが出来ない可能性があるとのことでしたが、無事に20匹程の群れとウミガメを見ることが出来て最高でした。

I participated in an early morning tour. On the bus ride there, the instructions were explained very clearly and cheerfully, and they taught us pressure points for motion sickness, which made the journey enjoyable. I tend to get motion sickness easily, so even with the pressure points and medication, I still felt sick. However, I was lucky that day to see both dolphins and sea turtles! Although we were told not to chase the dolphins, they actually approached us, and we had to move aside (laughs). Even when the dolphins were out of sight, I could hear their calls when I put my ears to the water, which felt quite mysterious. The sea turtles were far away, but I was still moved to see them. I couldn't eat the hamburger at the time because I was feeling sick, but it was delicious when I had it after returning home. I didn't bring much money, so I was disappointed that I couldn't order the photo data. Overall, it was a satisfying experience, and if I have the chance, I would like to participate again while enduring the motion sickness.
朝早いツアーに参加しました。
行きのバスの中では注意事項などとても明るくわかりやすく説明していただき、酔い止めのツボなど教えていただき楽しく移動できました。
私はとても酔いやすいのでツボを押しても、酔い止めを飲んでも酔ってしまいましたが、その日は幸運でイルカもウミガメも会うことができました!
イルカは追っかけてはいけないとのことでしたが、イルカの方から近づいてきてくれてこちらがよけるほどでした(笑)イルカの姿が見えなくても耳を海面に入れると近い時には鳴き声が聞こえていることがわかり不思議な感じでした。
ウミガメは遠かったですがちゃんとみれて感動しました。
ハンバーガーは酔っていたのでその時は食べられませんでしたが、帰宅してから食べたらおいしかったです。
お金をほとんど持って行かなかったので、写真のデータを申し込むことが出来ず残念でした。
トータルで満足できる内容で機会があれば船酔いに耐えながらまた参加したいです。

On the morning of the day I had a reservation, I received a message from the staff at VELTRA saying, "The waves are too high today, and the tour cannot proceed..." They explained the refund and rescheduling process, and I was able to reschedule for the next day. Their response was very professional, and I had no worries at all. I was a bit anxious the next day, but since I didn’t receive a call, I thought everything was fine and headed to the pickup location. However, it turned out to be the day of an annual parade, and the roads were heavily congested. After waiting for the bus for an hour... (I wondered if this could have been anticipated since it happens every year, but all the other tours and buses heading to the airport were also delayed, so I thought it might just be something you have to accept in Hawaii with a big heart, haha). It seemed that the street where we were supposed to be picked up was particularly congested, so the bus stopped on a larger road, and two staff members (one of whom was Japanese) ran to greet us. A large, beautiful bus came to pick us up. Once on the bus, they began with an apology for the delay, introduced the staff, and explained the schedule and important notes in English followed by Japanese. There was also information about purchasing a USB for photos and videos taken on the trip, as well as renting wetsuits. Those who purchased the photo/video package on the way to the destination received a wristband as a gift (one for each participant) and a $5 discount. It seems that if you stay close to the photographer, you might get more photos taken. Upon arriving at the harbor, we used the restroom and borrowed fins and goggles. (We also tried on the wetsuits we rented on the bus here.) Once we found the right size, we boarded the boat. After boarding, we set off to look for dolphins, and during that time, there was another explanation, and we sang a Hawaiian song to show respect for the ocean and its creatures while offering flowers. The cheerful Hawaiian staff jumped into the sea as soon as we reached the dolphin spot and swam to the location of the dolphins. Unfortunately, we didn’t encounter any turtles or whales, but we did meet dolphins, which was an emotional experience that allowed us to feel connected to nature. After that, we moved to another location where we had free time to enjoy snorkeling and kayaking. On the way back to the harbor, we enjoyed taro cheese burgers, bite-sized pineapple, and a small bag of chips each. The staff also performed hula dancing, and everyone participated in dancing together. It was a fun time throughout, and my whole family was very satisfied. Since we purchased the USB, we went to pick it up at an office near DFS in Waikiki that evening, and the Japanese man at the office was very friendly and approachable. You can also receive an eco-bag at this office. I definitely want to participate again the next time I go to Hawaii. If you have children, I think the 11 AM departure plan would be better to avoid putting too much strain on them. Even if you usually don’t get motion sickness, I think it’s wise to take motion sickness medication as a precaution.
予約をしていた日の朝、VELTRAさんのスタッフの方から「本日は波が高く催行不可能となりました…」と連絡があり、返金・振り替えなどの説明があり、翌日へ振り替えてもらいました。もちろんきちんとした対応で、何の心配もありませんでした。次の日も心配でしたが、電話が来なかったので大丈夫なんだなと思いピックアップ場所へ。しかしその日は年に一度のパレードの日だったらしく道路は大渋滞。バスを待つこと1時間…。(毎年の事なので事前に予測できないのかな?とは思いましたが、他のツアーも、空港へ向かう予約のバスもどれもこれも全てが遅れていたのでハワイでは仕方がないのかな?と思う大きな心が必要です(笑))我が家のピックアップ場所の通りが特に渋滞していたようなので大きい道路にバスを停めスタッフの方が2人(1人は日本人)で走って迎えに来てくれました。大きい素敵なバスがお迎えに来てくれていました。バスに乗るとまず、遅れたお詫びから始まりスタッフの紹介、今日のスケジュールや注意事項などを英語に続き日本語で説明してくれます。バスの中で写真や動画を収めたUSBの購入、ウエットスーツのレンタルなどについても説明があります。行きのバスで写真・動画のセットを購入した人はリストバンドのプレゼント(参加人数分)、5㌦の割引がありました。カメラマンの方の近くにいると多めに撮ってもらえるような気がします。ハーバーに着くと、トイレを済ませフィン・ゴーグルを借ります。(バスの中でレンタルしたウエットスーツもここで試着してみます)サイズを合わせて、OKであれば船に乗り込みます。乗船後、イルカを探しに行きますがその間、再度説明があり、海や生き物に敬意を表すためのハワイの歌を歌って花を捧げます。陽気なハワイアンのスタッフ、イルカのポイントに着いたらすぐに海へ飛び込みイルカの場所まで泳いでいきます。残念ながらかめ、くじらには会えませんでしたが、イルカに出会え自然を感じられ感動でした。そのあとは別の場所へ移動し、シュノーケリングやカヤックなどで遊ぶ自由時間があります。ハーバーまで帰港する際にタロイモのチーズバーガー、パイナップル1口サイズを1つ小袋のチップスを一人一袋食べながら帰っていきます。スタッフがフラダンスも踊ってくれ、参加者皆で踊ったりもします。終始楽しい時間で家族みんな大満足です。我が家はUSBを購入したので、その日の夕方ワイキキのDFS近くにあるオフィスへ取りに行きオフィスにいた日本人の男性もとても気さくで感じのいいかたでした。エコバックはこのオフィスでもらえます。次回ハワイへ行った際には是非また参加したいです。お子さんがいらっしゃる場合は、11時出航プランにした方が子供の負担にならないと思います。普段酔わなくても酔い止めは予防として飲むべきだと思います。

I had high expectations for the main event of my trip to Hawaii, but I didn't see any dolphins at all. I understand that it's a wild animal, so it's not surprising. Even when they said, "It's a whale!" it was too far away, and even with my contact lenses, I couldn't see it well. They worked hard to find dolphins, and since we waited on the boat for a long time, I ended up feeling seasick, even though I usually don't take motion sickness medication. I hoped to do a lot of snorkeling since I couldn't see any dolphins, but it ended rather quickly. I think it was a stroke of luck that I got to see a sea turtle! They took a lot of photos, but honestly, if you don't buy a USB, you won't see anything, so I recommend purchasing it on the bus if you want to keep those memories. For lunch, I think "light snack" is a better description than "lunch." Later, I received an email saying, "Here are today's photos," but there were no attachments... I didn't even know who to contact about it. I think I might have had too high expectations. I received a discount voucher for the next time since I didn't see any dolphins, but to be honest, I'm not sure if I would want to participate again.
ハワイ旅行のメインイベント、くらいに思って期待しておりましたが、全くイルカに逢えませんでした。
野生の生き物なので仕方のないこととは思います。
鯨だよ!と言われてもかなり遠くてコンタクト着用していてもよく分からなかったです。
一生懸命イルカを探してくれて、長いこと船上で待機していたので普段は酔い止めを飲まない私でも船酔いしてしまいました。
イルカが見れなかった分、たくさんシュノーケリングができればと思いましたが、案外あっさり終わってしまいました。
ウミガメが見られたのは不幸中の幸いかなと思います!
写真を沢山撮ってもらいましたが、正直USBを買わない人は何も見られないので、思い出として欲しい方はバスの中で購入を希望しておいた方がいいと思います。
お昼もランチというか軽食という表現がベストかと思います。
後ほど、今日の写真です、とメールが届きましたが写真は添付されておらず…どこに問い合わせていいのかも分からず…
ちょっと期待し過ぎたかなと思いました。
イルカが見れなかったので次回割引券頂きましたが、次回も参加したいかと聞かれたら正直微妙なところです。

This was just a terrific day from start to finish. We were picked up on time, and everything was exactly as advertised. We saw turtles, swam with the dolphins, and saw approximately 8 whales too! It was the first time snorkeling for both my husband and myself and the staff was terrific. Emmanuel picked us up and took care of us for the whole day. Our captain was terrific, making sure that we saw all those whales and had plenty of time for snorkeling with the dolphins and then over a wonderful coral reef. Photographer Justin was also terrific - making sure to get great pictures of everyone who wanted them. HIghly recommend this tour and company! Friendly AND professional!

Wow, wow, wow. This was the experience of a lifetime for me and my family. We really hit the jackpot. Within minutes of leaving the harbor we came across some Humpback whales frolicking with some dolphins - this was breathtaking. We then swam with sea turtles and had an amazing experience with a pod of approximately 50 dolphins. I honestly believe we had luck on our side because we couldn't have asked for a more amazing experience. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable and made the tour even more enjoyable. I can honestly say this was the highlight of our holiday and would recommend this company to everyone.

I participated with my 6-year-old child, but swimming with the dolphins was quite a challenge, so my spouse and I took turns. The activity slide looked fun, and it was great to see everyone enjoying it.
It was mid-December, and I heard it was cold even with a wetsuit, so I brought a winter rash guard just in case and wore diving shorts underneath, which kept me warm.
We were able to see about 10 dolphins up close! During snorkeling, we encountered about 3 dolphins, and I was very satisfied! I was also glad to see a sea turtle from the boat.
I think it can depend on the weather, but unlike other tours, it was great to have an eco-friendly and authentic experience. Thank you!

Before moving to Waianae Harbor, there was an explanation (in English and Japanese), and I signed a consent form on an iPad. There was enough time to take a nap during the transfer.
The reason I booked this tour was because it was described as "a healing tour to swim with wild dolphins in the sea!" However, in reality, diving was prohibited. It was more of a dolphin watching experience while snorkeling. The life jackets were the type that hang around the neck and were mandatory (you could deflate them). On December 13th, the water quality was poor and murky, possibly due to high waves. The dolphins were mostly deep down and only faintly visible (the staff would say, "Look down!!"). They didn't come close at all, and it ended quickly. After that, we moved to the snorkeling point where we could enjoy SUP, sea kayaking, and a slide. However, the snorkeling point we went to had nothing. There were no corals, no turtles, and only a few fish were spotted. I later heard that the captain decides which snorkeling points to go to, but this was just too disappointing.
For lunch, we had a pre-made cheeseburger with taro buns wrapped in foil. The buns were a bit sweet, so preferences may vary. There were also chips. Drinks included free water and lemonade on board (on December 13th, there was warm tea, possibly because it was cold). There were also restrooms available. If you're worried about seasickness, it's better to take something (three people vomited and were down). On the way back to the harbor, there was hula and ukulele performance, and the staff's effort to entertain was nice. Some people bought a USB with photos and videos during the ride, as there was a $5 discount, but it's important to think carefully about whether you'll see dolphins, whether you might get seasick, or whether the weather might prevent you from getting good photos before purchasing in advance. The eco bags were probably only for those who purchased the USB. I didn't receive anything. Honestly, I didn't feel that the service was worth the tour fee of $156.
I understand that it's wild and natural, but I was disappointed by the discrepancies between the description and the actual experience.
ワイアナエハーバーに移動するまでに説明(英語&日本語)があり、ipadで同意書?に記入します。移動には仮眠できるほどの時間があります。
今回こちらのツアーを予約したのは説明文にある"海で野生のイルカと一緒に泳ぐ癒しのツアー!"と記載されていたからです。実際は潜る潜水行為禁止。イルカウォッチングをシュノーケルしながらの形になります。ライフジャケットは首からさげるタイプで着用義務(エアーは抜くことができます)。12/13は波が高かったのもあるのか水質は悪く濁っていました。イルカはずっと下の方に居てうっすらと見える程度(スタッフが"Look down!!"と教えてくれます)。近くに寄って来てくれることもなく。あっという間に終了。その後シュノーケルポイントに移動しSUPやシーカヤック、滑り台などを楽しめます。しかし、行ったシュノーケルポイントはなんにもない所でした。珊瑚もなければ亀は居ない、魚は数匹みかけた程度。後から聞いた話ではいくつかあるシュノーケルポイントをキャプテンの判断で決めるそうですが、これが、あまりに酷すぎでした。その後お昼ご飯は事前に作られホイルで包まれたタロイモのバンズでできたチーズバーガー。バンズは少し甘めで好みがあると思います。おまけにチップス。飲み物は船内に自由に飲めるお水とレモネードがあります(12/13は寒かった為か暖かいお茶もありました)。トイレも完備されています。船酔いを心配されている方は飲んだ方がいいです(3名嘔吐してダウンしてました)。ハーバーまでの帰り道にフラやウクレレ演奏があり、スタッフの楽しませようとしてくれる雰囲気は良かったです。行きの車内で写真と動画のUSBを購入すると$5割引になる為購入している方がいましたが、イルカに会えるかもわからない、船酔いしてダウンするかもしれない、天気が悪く良い写真が撮れていないかもしれない事をよく考えた上で事前購入しましょう。エコバッグはおそらくUSB購入者だけです。何ももらえませんでした。正直私はツアー代金$156の見合ったサービスを受けられたとは思いませんでした。
野生と自然相手なので仕方ないですが、説明文と食い違う内容にはがっかりしました。

Even when trying to watch the hula dance, it was hard to see because the staff were filming videos on their smartphones. Especially since I was alone, I often felt overlooked. I would have appreciated a bit more consideration.

During the journey to the spot where you can see dolphins, we danced on the boat, and the time flew by. The guides were all cheerful and friendly, and their Japanese was excellent. You can purchase the photos and videos taken by the guides as an option, and they will put the data on a cute USB. We saw plenty of dolphins, as well as sea turtles and fish, and there were activities like kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding, so I think it's a great deal with so much to enjoy beyond just snorkeling!

Traveling by boat takes some time, but during that time, the staff entertained us by singing with a ukulele and dancing to the music, which was very fulfilling. We were also blessed with good weather, and the staff, both men and women, were wonderful people. It was truly the best experience. Thank you! ☆
11/1の11時出港コースでお世話になりました。
安全確認など事前の説明が丁寧で安心して楽しめました。
私は英語の聞き取りも得意ではありませんが、英語の説明と日本語の説明を繰り返してもらえるので、
十分理解できますし、英語の勉強にもなった気がします笑
船での移動はある程度時間がかかりますが、その間、スタッフの皆さんがウクレレで歌を歌ったり、音楽に合わせてダンスを踊ったりと、とても充実していました。
天候にも恵まれましたし、スタッフの皆さんも男性女性ともに素敵な人達で、本当に最高でした。
ありがとうございました☆

My friend couldn't make it for personal reasons, so I participated alone! I was the only one attending solo; everyone else was with friends, couples, or spouses, which made me a bit anxious at first. However, once I got on the boat, I became engrossed in searching for dolphins, and when I was snorkeling, I focused on swimming, so it was fine! I also got to see hula dancing and enjoyed a delicious hamburger, which left me satisfied. Since I couldn't swim with the dolphins or turtles, I received a half-price ticket for the next time, so I definitely want to participate again!
友人が訳あってこれなくなり
1人で参加させていただきました!
1人での参加は私だけで他は友人どうし、カップル、夫婦などで
最初は不安でした。
けどいざ船に乗ればイルカ探しに夢中になりますし
シュノーケルしている時は泳ぎに集中するので
大丈夫でした!
フラダンスも見れて美味しいハンバーガーを食べて
満足でした。
イルカ、亀と泳ぐことができなかったので
次回の半額券も頂いたのでまた参加したいです!

The dolphin I wanted to see the most wasn't there. It's disappointing, but there's nothing that can be done, I guess? I encountered sea turtles both on the ocean floor and at the surface; it was my first experience. The staff were young and showed us songs and dances, and they also prepared water slides and kayaks, which was fun. Next time, I definitely want to see the dolphins!
一番見たかったイルカはいませんでした。残念ですが、致し方なし?かな?です。
ウミガメは海底と海面で遭遇、初体験でした。
ただスタッフの方々は若く歌や踊りを見せてくれたり、ウォータースライダーやカヤック等も準備して頂き、楽しかったです。
次回は是非イルカと!

we were fortunate to see 2 species of dolphins, a humpback whale and sea turtles! The 3 women who were on board- the photographer, the captain, and our tour guide were all super friendly and knowledgeable. If you are looking to see Koran of fish in the water and sea life, this is not the tour but if you are looking to see some mammals and hop in the Ayer from time to time then this is it!

It was written that there would be a "BBQ on board," but in reality, it was just one cheeseburger and potato chips. It also mentioned "free eco bags with logo!" but there were no gifts.
The activity itself was good as we were able to see dolphins. The dolphins were small, specifically the spinner dolphins. We went to see them while they were sleeping, so we didn't get to see them coming close or swimming around as we had imagined.
「船上BBQ付き」と書いてあるましたが実際にはチーズバーガー1つとポテトチップスでした。また「ロゴ付きエコバックプレゼント!」と書いてありましたがプレゼントはありませんでした。
アクティビティ自体はイルカも見れて良かったです。イルカはハシナガイルカという小型のイルカ。寝ているところを見に行ったので、想像していたような近寄ってきたり泳ぎ回ったりという姿は見られませんでした。

I participated because I could swim with wild dolphins. I was concerned about seasickness, but I took motion sickness medication beforehand, so it wasn't an issue.
It takes quite a while to reach the snorkeling point after departure, but the staff kept the atmosphere lively, and I had a very enjoyable time on board.
When the captain signaled, we jumped in. We swam to the watching point under our own power, and below us were schools of dolphins. I was healed by the graceful swimming of the dolphins.
We moved to another point and saw many dolphins, and we also spotted a sea turtle swimming along the seabed. The staff were all cheerful and fun. There are also people who can speak Japanese, so feel free to join without worry.
野生のイルカと一緒に泳げるということで参加。
気になる船酔いは事前に酔い止め薬を服用していたので問題ありませんでした。
出港してからシュノーケリングポイントまでは結構な時間がかかりますが、船上ではスタッフのみなさんが盛り上げてくれて非常に楽しい時間を過ごせます。
船長の合図でいざ入水。
ウォッチングポイントで目視できるところまで自分たちの力で泳いでいくと、眼下にはイルカたちの群れ。
優雅に泳ぐイルカたちに癒やされます。
他のポイントへ移動し、沢山のイルカたちに会えましたし、海底を泳いでいくウミガメも見られました。
スタッフのみなさんが陽気で楽しい方ばかりです。日本語が話せる方も居ますので、安心して参加してください。

A passionate Japanese guide provided detailed instructions. We encountered a large number of dolphins, and although from the boat, we were also able to see sea turtles.
という情熱を持った日本人ガイドさんがきめ細かく指示してくれます(^^)
大量のイルカに遭遇でき、船上からですがウミガメもみることができました
