Premium Ko Olina Snorkel Cruise with Dolphin Watching, Lunch Buffet & Drinks - Ocean Joy Cruises

Perfect Cruise

Reviewed by: Terri&Rob

Wow, what a wonderful crew, boat and view.
These guys are serious about safety in a humorous way. The crew was attentive and hard working while making the experience fun for all.
We saw spinner dolphins. Then moved on to snorkeling with fish and turtles. The fins, snorkels and masks were great. They had sizes to fit everyone. Lunch and mai-tai's were wonderful as well. We were additionally impressed that they cared about the ocean environment.
Highly recommend these guys! Thanks for the great memories!

Premium Ko Olina Snorkel Cruise with Dolphin Watching, Lunch Buffet & Drinks - Ocean Joy Cruises

Snorkeling for the Family

Reviewed by: Petals4Zuzu

The crew was great, the ship was great, the meal was very good, the cruise was exciting and the snorkel equipment was excellent. The water was particularly choppy due to high winds and that made snorkeling for only the fittest among us difficult. The two youngest (12 and 17) had no problem and were in fact the last ones out of the water. We saw a couple sea turtles, a bottle-nose dolphin, and a couple pods of humpbacks (in the distance). Overall, circumstances beyond the crew's control being what they were, we really enjoyed this excursion.

Reviewed by: Felix

This was a wonderful experience. The driver Larry is amiable and knowledgable who provided all the information needed for the trip and he gave detailed description about the areas along the road. Crews on the boat are professional and helpful. They did an excelent job in making it an enjoyable trip on the sea. Watching the golden sun vanishing into the ocean, eventhough we did not make encounter with the dolphinss, yet it was an unforgetable pleasant experience.

シュノーケリングクルーズ イルカやウミガメに出会えるチャンスも!?選べる8時/12時出港プラン<ハワイアンプレートランチ&アルコール4杯付き/ワイキキ送迎あり>

That's unusual!! 珍しい!!

Reviewed by: ヤギタ

I had a truly valuable experience.
It's something unimaginable in Japan.
I was constantly excited to be so close to wild animals.
I got to see dolphins, of course, as well as sea turtles and whales.
From the exotic boat, I watched dolphins and chased after escaping sea turtles, haha.
Thanks to the captain's arrangements, or perhaps his keen eye, we spotted a whale and even saw it spouting water.
It's an experience unique to traveling abroad that you won't understand until you try it.
I also think the cost performance is quite good.

とても貴重な体験をしました。
日本では考えられない経験です。
野生の動物とこんなに間近で触れ合えて興奮しっぱなしでした。
イルカはもちろん、海ガメ・クジラに会えました。
異国情緒たっぷりな船からイルカをみて、逃げるウミガメを追いかけたりしてw
船長さんのはからいか、神眼かしら?クジラを発見し、潮吹きも見ました。
海外旅行ならでは、行ってみないとわからない体験です。
コスパも悪くないと思います。

Dolphins, sea turtles, whales イルカ・ウミガメ・クジラ

Reviewed by: ヤギ

I was able to encounter dolphins, sea turtles, and whales. I think I was quite lucky. The boat was clean and offered a lot of exotic charm during the cruise. Since it was a group snorkeling tour, I felt safe. We stopped at various points, and I felt secure leaving it to the captain. The boat rocked a bit, but I was able to enjoy meals and drinks without any issues. It was very interesting. I definitely want to participate in this tour again next time.

イルカ・ウミガメ・クジラすべてに遭遇できました。

船の揺れもそこそこですが、普通に食事やドリンクを楽しめました。
とてもおもしろかったです。

I participated at the beginning of November. 11月始めに参加しました

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I decided on this tour after reading various experiences. We gathered early in the morning and traveled to the site by bus. The boat was beautiful, and there were drinks and light snacks like cupcakes and yogurt available for us to enjoy at any time. For lunch, there was a light buffet with hamburgers, rice, meat, and potatoes, but I couldn't eat much due to fatigue, seasickness, and drowsiness. I had lunch again separately after returning.

Most of the participants were foreigners, with only a few Japanese. The tour guide was American, but there was one person who spoke fluent Japanese, providing explanations in Japanese after the English ones.

The weather was nice that day, but we had a hard time spotting dolphins and turtles. We stopped for about an hour to enjoy snorkeling. The water was crystal clear and beautiful. It was fun to throw food and have many fish come right up to me. I was considering diving the next day, but snorkeling was enjoyable enough.

After that, we returned to the boat and finally encountered dolphins. About ten dolphins swam near the boat, seemingly playing with us, and they were really cute.

It was early November, and the sea wasn't too cold, but it did get chilly after being in the water for a long time. You can rent a wetsuit for about ten dollars at the port's reception, not through the tour company. They sell snacks, drinks, and port T-shirts and goods, resembling a souvenir corner, but I didn't see anyone buying anything in particular.

As for wallets, you can leave your belongings or towels on the tables or chairs inside the boat, so it's better not to carry cards or large amounts of cash just in case. It was mentioned that you should bring your passport if you plan to drink alcohol, but I wasn't asked to show it. So, it would be good to have about twenty dollars in a pouch just in case, but I ended up not using any cash at all.

Also, after swimming, it gets cold, so a bath towel and a hoodie or T-shirt to wear on top are essential.

Even if you don't usually get seasick, it's a good idea to bring motion sickness medication. The boat isn't that small or shaky, but since we left early in the morning and I hadn't eaten much for breakfast, I did feel a bit nauseous.

After about an hour of snorkeling and sunbathing for a long time, the early morning conditions were surprisingly tiring, and most people were fast asleep on the bus ride back in the afternoon.

体験談を色々読んでこちらに決めました。朝早く集合してバスで現地まで移動。船は綺麗で、室内にはいつでも自由に飲食できる飲み物、カップケーキやヨーグルトなど軽食がありました。昼食も軽いビュッフェ形式のハンバーガー、ご飯、お肉、ポテト、など出ましたが、疲れや酔いと眠気が手伝ってあまり食べれず。帰って別でまた昼食をとりました。

ほとんどの参加者が外国人で、日本人は少しだけ。ツアー催行者の方もアメリカ人ですが、一人日本語がペラペラな方がいて、日本人にも英語の説明の後に日本語で説明してくれます。

この日は天気は良かったのですがなかなかイルカもカメも見つからず、とりあえず停舶して1時間ほどスノーケリングを楽しみました。海の中は透き通ってすごく綺麗。エサを放り投げてたくさんの魚が目の前まで来て楽しかったです。ダイビングを次の日に考えてましたが、スノーケリングで十分楽しめます。

その後、船に戻ってようやくイルカに出会えました。本当にわざとやってるのかと思うほど10頭ほどのイルカが船の近くで一緒に「遊ぼう!遊ぼう!」と泳いで、とてもかわいかったです。

11月始めですが、さほど海は冷たくなかったですが、長いこと入っていると寒くなってきます。ウェットスーツは10ドルかな?でツアー会社ではなく港の受付で借りれます。ここではお菓子、飲み物や港のTシャツやらグッズ等が売っていて、お土産コーナーのようですが、特に何か買ってる人はいなかったです、、。

お財布などは船内のテーブルや椅子の上に荷物やタオルを置いておくかんじなので、カードや大金は念のため持ち歩かないようにしたほうがいいです。お酒を飲む場合のパスポート持参と書かれていましたが特に提示を聞かれませんでした。なので、ポーチに万が一のために20ドルくらい入れていけばいい感じですが、結局一銭も現金は使っていません。

あとは、泳いだ後が寒いのでバスタオルと上に着るパーカーもしくはTシャツは必須です。

あまり乗り物に酔わない人でも酔い止めは持参したほうがいいです。そこまで小型で揺れる船ではないですが、朝早いので朝食をあまりとってなかったりすると酔います。

1時間ほどのスノーケリング、日差しの下で長い間日焼け、朝早いというコンディションは意外に疲れ、昼の帰りのバスはほとんどの人が爆睡してました。午後からアク

The dolphins were cute. But... イルカは可愛かった。でも・・・

Reviewed by: どるふぃん

I had high expectations after reading other people's comments, but Jin was not there (>_<) Well, that's fine, but...
There was another young man, but he probably struggles with Japanese and Japanese people. He completely avoided eye contact with the Japanese group and ignored us when we tried to hand him fins and goggles.
A woman explained things in English and then in broken Japanese, but it was just a few words, about 10% of the time spent on English. So I felt a bit uneasy.
- I did see dolphins. They were cute.
- The food was delicious.

I had some communication issues with the tour office this time and had to make phone calls, but I couldn't understand much because they spoke too fast. I asked them to speak slowly, but... I was somewhat confident in my English conversation skills, but I'm particularly bad on the phone...

I dislike being around only Japanese people and have often participated in tours that are mainly in English, but if you want to swim and dive, which involves some risks, and want to receive sufficient explanations,
and if you think you might have trouble negotiating in English in case of issues or inconveniences,
then perhaps it would have been better to apply for a tour that is mainly for Japanese people or run by Japanese or Japanese-owned companies, even among Alan1's tours.

ほかの方のコメントを見ていて、期待していたんですが、ジン君はいませんでした(>_<)まぁそれはいいんですが・・・。
べつの青年がいましたが、彼は多分、日本語&日本人が苦手なのでしょう、日本人グループには、絶対目を合わさなくてスルー、フィンやゴーグルも渡すときスルーされるんです。
女性の方が英語に続き、かたことの日本語で説明してくれましたが、ほんの一言、英語の10%くらいの時間です。だから少し不安でした。
・イルカは見れました。かわいかったです。
・食事は美味しかったです。

今回このツアーのオフィスと連絡の行き違いなどで電話したりしましたが、早口でほとんど聞きとれませんでした。ゆっくりお願いしますと言いましたが・・・。そこそこ英会話には自信あったんですが、電話だと特にダメですね・・・

日本人ばかりは嫌、色んな国の人と触れ合いたい、と英語メインのツアーによく参加してきましたが、
・泳いだり潜ったり、多少の危険が伴い、また充分な説明を受けたい
・トラブルや不都合なことがあった場合、英語で交渉できない
・・・と思われる場合は、alan1さんのツアーの中でも、
日本人&日本語メインの、または日系や日本人が経営、主催のツアーに申し込んだほうが良かったのかな、
と思いました。

I was able to see both, although just a little. Well, since it's a tour in nature, I suppose this is to be expected.
The snorkeling was cold, and I was shivering. The weather was bad from early morning, so I should have brought a rash guard. By the way, it was disappointing that I could only see fish and rocks!

The muffin for the light snack was delicious. I couldn't eat lunch because I got seasick. The staff kindly suggested that I could take it back and eat it at the center.

両方とも見れました。ちょっとやけど。まあ自然相手のツアーなのでこんなものかなと思います。
シュノーケリングは寒くて震えてました。当日は朝一から天候が悪かったのでラッシュを用意して行くべきでした。ちなみに魚と岩場しか見えなくて残念!!

Whatt?!?!?! OMG Amazing!

Reviewed by: Eddy & Nancy

OK, there was a pod of 200 dolphins swimming all around our boat - which was a trip, sunset views were awesome - you won't see a sunset like this one in Waikiki, believe me I went one TWO sailing trips in Waikiki last week, which were great too ... but on this trip we actually saw the sun slip away behind the ocean horizon. The crew was so friendly and chill and accommodating ... no pressure ... no trying to shamelessly sell you stuff, actually, Captain Patrick shared all the free stuff to do along the coast, we saw the Black Pearl from Pirates of the Caribbean and the new Disney hotel too. The snorkeling was great! The food was simple and healthy and tasty! Yum! I understand that this is a newer tour so we only had about 18 people on a 49 capacity boat .... so lots of room to stretch out and get some tanning done. Thank you all at the Ocean Joy for such an amazing experience! We will be back the Kai oli oli again!!

Premium Ko Olina Snorkel Cruise with Dolphin Watching, Lunch Buffet & Drinks - Ocean Joy Cruises

GREAT DOLPHIN WATCH CRUISE!!!

Reviewed by: Ms Rosie

We seen so many dolphins and we were even fortunate enough to see Bottlenose Dolphins which are much much bigger than the frequent spinner dolphins. Bottlenose Dolphins do not come around the islands very often so this was a real treat, maybe even a once in a lifetime opportunity!!

The crew was very friendly and they held my sister's hand in the water because she is afraid of sea animals. But ONCE she put her mask on and placed her head under the water, it was a whole different world for her filled with beautiful colored fish and a huge reef system that surrounded her.

Wonderful crew, Tasty food, everyone on-board was really friendly and after a nice dip out in the deep blue ocean, you are treated to an open bar. Great Stuff! Thank you Hawaiiactivities.com and Ocean Joy Cruises for a wonderful dolphin watch and cruise!

Winter sea 冬の海

Reviewed by: 小春

I participated in an early morning cruise. When it comes to the winter sea, it's all about whales. I was torn between a whale tour and this one, but I decided to take a chance on the winter sea and chose this tour.

Although it was a dolphin tour, we stopped at a point where we could see whales at the beginning of the cruise, and I was able to see my long-awaited whales. I was also satisfied to see a mother and baby whale!

Then, we encountered many dolphins, and just when I thought we found one, a group of a dozen dolphins appeared, which was so exciting! The snorkeling afterward was also great, as I saw a lot of fish.

I'm not a strong swimmer, but thanks to the life jacket, I was able to snorkel with peace of mind. This time, there were three generations participating, from 0 to 71 years old, and my 3-year-old son enjoyed snorkeling, while my in-laws also had a great time on the cruise and snorkeling.

There was a staff member who was fluent in Japanese, which was reassuring. I couldn't eat lunch on the boat due to a bit of seasickness, but the staff kindly packaged it for me to take home. I ate it at the hotel after returning, and it was light and delicious.

早起きクルーズに参加しました。
冬の海といえばクジラ。クジラツアーと悩んだのですが、
冬の海に賭けて、こちらのツアーを選択しました。
イルカツアーでしたが、クルーズのはじめはクジラが見えるポイントへも寄ってくれて、念願のクジラを見ることができました。親子クジラにもあえて満足!
そして、本題のイルカにもたくさんあえました。1頭見つけたと思ったら十数頭のイルカの群が現れて大興奮!
その後のシュノーケリングもお魚がたくさんみえました。
私はカナヅチなのですが、ライフジャケットのお陰で安心してシュノーケリングできました。
今回三世代で0歳~71歳の参加でしたが、3歳の息子もシュノーケリングを楽しみ、義両親もクルーズ&シュノーケリングを楽しんでいました。
スタッフは日本語の堪能な方がいて安心できました。
昼食はちょっと船酔いのため船内で食べられなかったのですが、スタッフのかたが配慮くださり、お持ち帰り用にまとめてくださいました。帰宅後にホテルで食べたのですがあっさりしていて美味しかったです。

Jin is wonderful!!! ジン君素敵!!!

Reviewed by: mariannnu

I made a reservation on-site and participated with a friend.

At first, I thought it would only be Japanese people, but there were also various people from Europe and America, which made me really excited. The inside of the boat was clean, and the restroom was nice too.

As we set off, the captain immediately started explaining in English, and I thought, "I don't understand this at all (#^.^#)," but then, to my surprise, Jin-kun appeared, speaking Japanese fluently (and he was handsome too)! He asked, "Are there any Japanese people here?" It was so cute and hilarious!!

Thanks to that, I was sure I could enjoy myself without worry!

The sea was incredibly beautiful, with different shades of blue depending on the location, and the breeze felt nice. I didn't want to go back, even though we had just started.

Before long, we spotted dolphins, and they kept coming one after another!!! In the end, there was a huge group of over 20 dolphins swimming right next to the boat, and they were so cute, I was extremely satisfied☆

After that, during snorkeling, I swam with sea turtles and fish, feeling like I had become a fish myself. It was quite cold after snorkeling, but there were four showers with warm water, so I was able to warm up.

And finally, it was time for lunch☆ While preparing lunch, Jin-kun jokingly asked about the chicken, "Is this your first time eating dolphin?" which surprised me and made me laugh a lot☆

The lunch was delicious, and I ended up eating a lot (*^_^*).

When my friend felt a bit seasick, Jin-kun noticed and asked, "Are you okay?" He was very considerate and gave various advice, which was really helpful. He's a thoughtful guy.

In the end, I took a photo with Jin-kun and reluctantly headed back (__).

As you can see, I really became quite fond of Jin-kun on this tour!!!!!!!

It was an absolutely wonderful tour that I definitely want to go on again☆☆☆

現地で予約して友達と2人で参加しました。

初めは日本人だけかと思いきや、欧米の方達も色々いて、
すごくワクワクしました。
船の中は清潔でトイレもきれいでした。

出発すると、すぐにキャプテンが英語で説明してくれて、わかんないやこりゃ(#^.^#)と思っていたら、なんと!!!
日本人より流暢と言っていいほどの日本語を話す(しかもイケメン)ジン君が登場!!
「え~、日本人の方いますか~?」
って、キュン殺&超うけました!!

そのおかげで、安心して楽しめると確信!!

沖のほうは海がすっごく綺麗で、青色が場所によって違って、風も気持ち良いし、帰りたくない!!と出発したばかりなのに、思ってしまうほど。


そうこうしてるうちに、イルカが見えてきて、しかも次々に!!!
しまいには、20匹以上かと言うくらいの大群が船のすぐ傍をずっと泳いでいて、かなり可愛くて、大満足☆


その後、シュノーケリングでは海がめや魚達と一緒に泳いで、自分も魚になったような気分でいました。
シュノーケリングの後はかなり寒かったのですが、ちゃんと温かいお湯の出るシャワーが4つもあり、温まる事ができました。


そして、いよいよlunch☆

めちゃびっくりして、大笑いしました☆

lunchがまたおいしくて、いっぱい食べちゃいました(*^_^*)

友達が少し船酔いしていると、ジン君が気づいて、
「大丈夫ですか?」
と、気遣ってくれて、色々アドバイスくれたので、助かりました。気が利く子です。


最後にジン君と写真撮影して、泣く泣く帰りました(__)

It was fun! たのしかったー

Reviewed by: 関野

The dolphin tour had several options, and I was unsure which to choose, but I picked this one and it was the best decision. The boat was a large catamaran, spacious, clean, fast, and felt safe. We first went to the dolphin point and after seeing the dolphins, we headed to see whales. We spotted a spout in the distance and approached it quickly because the boat was fast, allowing us to get close in no time. After chasing and watching the whales for a while, we returned to the dolphin point for snorkeling. The equipment was clean, and the staff took great care of my 4-year-old grandson. There was a staff member named Tamiko who spoke Japanese, which was reassuring. She taught the Japanese guests with great care. At the snorkeling point, by chance, while my grandson and I were playing near the boat, a large sea turtle surfaced right beneath us, coming up very close. I was so surprised that I took off my snorkel and shouted, "It's a turtle!" This stroke of luck was shared by the two of us and two foreign guests nearby. The others were away from the boat and missed this fortunate encounter. After that, we had lunch, which was luxurious and surprisingly impressive for a meal on a boat. The drinks included unlimited beer and Hawaiian cocktails, and we could eat wherever we liked on the boat. During that time, the boat cruised even further than the whale sighting point, making for a very satisfying watching cruise. My wife was also very satisfied, and I think we will definitely become repeat customers. I highly recommend it. There are other tours nearby, but they can't compare in terms of luxury.

イルカツアーはアランさんのなかでもいくつかあり、迷いましたが、このツアーにして最高でした。船も大きな双胴船で、広くてきれいで速くて安心でした。最初にイルカポイントへ行きイルカを見た後今度はクジラをミニみにいきました。遠くに潮を吹いているのを見つけて近づくのですが船が速いのですぐに近くまで行けました。そこでしばらくクジラを追いかけてウォッチングをした後またイルカポイントへ戻りそこでシュノーケリングです。道具もきれいで4歳の孫にはスタッフの方がいろいろと世話をしてくださいました。日本語の出来るタミ子さんという方がおられたので安心でした。日本人には彼女が丁寧に教えてくれました。シュノーケルポイントではたまたまですが私と4歳の孫が船の近くで遊んでいたら真下から大きなウミガメが浮上したきて、すぐそばに浮き上がり、あまりの驚きにシュノーケルを外して『カメだー』と叫んでしまいました。この幸運は私たち二人と近くにいた外人さん二人の4にんでした。たの人たちは船から離れていてこの幸運に遭遇できませんでした。その後はランチでしたがこれが豪華で船の上の食事とはおもえないくらいの感動ランチでした。飲み物もビールはもちろん、ハワイアンカクテルも飲み放題で船の上で好き勝手な場所で食事でした。その間また船はクジラを見たポイントよりもまだ先までクルーズしてくれて大満足のウォッチングクルーズでした。
家内も大満足で多分リピーターになると思います。
絶対オススメ。近くに他のツアーも来ていますが豪華さでは比較になりませんよ。

But hated wearing the "bright yellow floaties". At first, when these were pulled out, I was saying..."oh crap, you've got to be kidding!" But then when we hit the water, I realized it's not such big deal to look like a dork, we all do. The water was amazing until I got hit in the nose by a fellow dork. My snorkling was done at that point. I was greeted by the friendly on board crew and a warm shower. The entire trip was completely worth it. The two above neg's were not a big deal. The crew, the sites, the water, the food, drinks and friendly banter of fellow passengers was great. I highly recommend this cruise. Thank you.

Premium Ko Olina Snorkel Cruise with Dolphin Watching, Lunch Buffet & Drinks - Ocean Joy Cruises

Snorkeling 4-13-09

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

We had a beautiful day for our snorkeling trip, we could not have asked for more beautiful weather. The crew was friendly and the boat was really nice and modern. We saw some dolphins out in the distance although they barely came above the surface and we saw a few turtles. There were no whale sightings on our cruise. The snorkeling was a little disappointing because the water was really choppy and we were dealing with an extremely strong current. There really wasnt a lot to see underwater. It was a little scary for the first time snorkelers and a few people got sea sick. We had a really large group (over 30 people) which made it difficult to move around the boat and it also made it difficult to move around out in the water without getting hit in the face by another persons fins. I think this cruise would have been a lot more enjoyable had there been 20 people or less on the boat.

beautiful sunset on the water

Reviewed by: kiki

Great boat, wonderful crew and a delicous meal just the icing on the cake to the most beautiful sunset we have ever seen. Hawaii sunsets are pretty sitting on the beach but you can't beat the beauty of seeing it out on the water. This tour is out in west Oahu (Koolina) far away from waikiki which is exactly what we were looking for!

シュノーケリングクルーズ イルカやウミガメに出会えるチャンスも!?選べる8時/12時出港プラン<ハワイアンプレートランチ&アルコール4杯付き/ワイキキ送迎あり>

Peter is the best. ピーター最高

Reviewed by: ぐっち

As a result, I chose the early morning plan, but unfortunately, I couldn't see the dolphins. (It was just bad luck.)

However, I was able to interact closely with the turtles and enjoy snorkeling! Above all, Peter, the local staff member, was very fluent in Japanese, provided excellent explanations, and was wonderful in his responses. We were able to chat during the transfer, and I was very satisfied with the experience.

As a side note, during the transfer from the hotel to the site, I was able to see the high school that President Obama attended and the Hitachi tree, and the staff during the transfer were also very good.

If I have the chance to go to Hawaii again, I think I will choose this plan again.

結果としては早朝プランにしたがイルカにあることは出来なかった。(これは運が悪かった)

しかし、亀にはすぐ近くで触れ合うことができたし、
シュノーケリングを楽しむ事ができた!
なにより現地のスタッフであるピーターさんが
非常に日本語も流暢であり、説明もうまく、
対応もすばらしかった。
移動中もいろいろと話ができ、とても満足のいく内容xでした。

補足ですが、ホテルからのピックアップから現地への
移動中にオバマ氏出身高校や、日立の木を見る事ができ、
移動スタッフの対応もよかったです。

次回ハワイにいけるようでしたら、またこのプランを
選ぼうと思います。

Very cool experience

Reviewed by: Lisa B

I had never snorkeled before and they really walked you through everything. Got to see lots of neat fish, no dolphins however. We did see several turtles. Weather was a bit spotty and we were in some pretty good size swells. I don't know that I would recommend this for smaller children. They have spotters in the water, but it is open ocean and alot can happen,

Fantastic Cruise, Lots of Dolphins

Reviewed by: Oklahoma Girl

I went on this cruise with a few of my friends, and it was worth every penny. It was one of the best things that we did in Hawaii. The captain was friendly and knowledgeable and we found schools of both spinner and bottlenosed dolphins. The crew took the time to share their knowledge of these gorogeous creatures and the captain made sure to stay with them long enough that every single person on the cruise got plenty of great pictures. Then came the snorkleing which was both unique and beatuiful. They fed the fish which allowed all of us to see the beautiful sea life up close and personal. We even saw sea turtle. On the way back the food was fantastic and the ride on the boat was just perfect. I would recommend this to anyway. We went on the 11:30 cruise and i think the dinner cruise would be fantastic as well. Great time, and highly recommeneded.

Dolphin watch

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

We had an absolutely gorgeous clear day. The ocean floor was visible to more than 30 feet. We were entertained by dolphins, monitored by turtles, and even visited by some whales! I'm sure we were very lucky, but it sure seemed like it was all arranged just for us. The views of Oahu were breathtaking, and though my wife and UII did not snorkle we enjoyed the stories from the knowledgeable staff. Patrick makes bodacious Mai Tais!!

It was a very enjoyable experience! 非常に楽しい体験でした!

Reviewed by: HIDE

I participated in a deluxe cruise on April 20, 2008.

There were about 40 passengers in total, and we were the only three Japanese people. The explanations were primarily in English, but there was a staff member who was fluent in Japanese, so I didn't feel any particular inconvenience.

The cabin has about 30 seats, but many people were enjoying the view from the deck. There are two restrooms available.

The boat swayed quite a bit, and two of my companions got seasick. It seems that standing and looking at the distant scenery is less likely to cause nausea than sitting down. I was completely fine, though.

We mostly saw dolphins swimming in the distance, but some dolphins came close to the boat, which was very exciting when we saw them up close. However, it seemed to be a sleepy time for them, so it was disappointing that we didn't get to see any jumps or spins. For dolphin watching, an early morning cruise might be better.

Regarding snorkeling, I have experienced clearer waters before, so I wasn't particularly impressed, but I did see a turtle, and I enjoyed it to some extent. Depending on the season, it might feel a bit cold, so I recommend wearing a rash guard. It also helps prevent sunburn.

The lunch was delicious, but the boat was rocking, so I was focused on eating without dropping anything from my plate.

I think the encounter rate with dolphins and turtles and the degree of the boat's sway depend on timing. All the staff were kind, fun, and very good. However, since it's an activity with many foreigners, I wouldn't recommend it for those who are not comfortable in that kind of atmosphere.

2008年4月20日のデラックスクルーズに参加。

総勢40名程度の乗客で、日本人は我々三名のみ。基本的に説明は英語ですが、日本語の堪能なスタッフがケアしてくださるので、特に不都合は感じませんでした。

キャビンは30席程度の座席がありますが、デッキで外を眺めている人が多かったです。トイレは2箇所あります。

ボートはかなり揺れるので、同行者二名は船酔いになってしまいました。座っているよりも、立って遠くの景色を眺めている方が酔いにくいようです。私は全く平気でしたが。

お目当てのイルカは遠方を泳ぐ姿を見るという感じだったのですが、中には船の近くまで寄って来るイルカもいて、間近で見たときはとても興奮しました。しかしながら、眠い時間帯だったようで、ジャンプやスピンが見られなかったのは残念です。イルカウォッチングに関しては早起きクルーズの方が良いかもしれません。

シュノーケリングに関しては、もっと透明度の高い海での経験があるので、さほどの感激はありませんでしたが、ウミガメも一匹見られましたし、それなりに楽しめました。季節によっては若干寒く感じることもあるかと思いますので、ラッシュガードの着用をおすすめします。日焼け防止にもなりますし。

ランチは美味しかったのですが、なにせ船が揺れるので、皿から落ちないように食べることに必死でした。

イルカやウミガメとの遭遇率や船の揺れ具合はタイミングによると思います。スタッフは全員親切で楽しくて非常に良かったです。ただし外国人の多いアクティビティなので、そういう雰囲気が苦手な人にはおすすめしません。
