The Dolphin & You tour was very good! ドルフィン＆ユー のツアーとても良かったです！

Reviewed by: Angel

Shortly after departure, while everyone was offering prayers to the blue sea, dolphins began to swim nearby. When we hurriedly entered the water together, we could see the dolphins swimming!

During snorkeling, we were also able to see sea turtles and many fish.

Communication was perfectly fine in Japanese. There was even a morning call on the day, which was really kind. Above all, the crew members were truly friendly and cheerful. They ensured safety while we were in the water.

I'm in my mid-50s, but I can't swim, I'm scared of the ocean, and I was worried about seasickness. However, with the wetsuit rental and life jacket, I wasn't cold and didn't sink! I took motion sickness medication in advance, so I was fine on both the bus and the boat.

The sparkling blue sea, hula dancing, ukulele performances, and the burgers we ate on the boat were all delicious, packed with fun.

I no longer fear the sea or the boat! Thank you so much to all the staff. I would love to participate again when I go to Hawaii. This is a tour I want many people to join! Dolphin & You, which is gentle to the sea, marine life, and people, is the best!

出航間もなく、青い海にみんなでお祈りを捧げているうちに、イルカたちが近くを泳ぎはじめました。
みんなでちょっと急いで海に入ると、イルカたちが泳いでいるのが見えましたー(^^)

シュノーケリングではウミガメやたくさんの魚たちも見ることができました。

連絡はすべて日本語で大丈夫。
当日はモーニングコールもあり、本当に親切です。
なんといってもクルーの皆さんが本当にフレンドリーで、ニコニコ。そして海ではしっかり安全を確認してくれています。

私は50代半ばですが、泳げないし、海はこわいし、船酔いも心配でしたが、ウェットスーツレンタルにライフジャケットなので、寒くないし沈みません！ 酔い止めをあらかじめ飲んでおいたらバスも船も大丈夫でした。

キラキラの青い海、フラダンス、ウクレレ演奏、船の上で食べるバーガーも美味しくて、ぎゅぎゅっと楽しさが詰まっていました。

海も船もこわくなくなりました！
スタッフの皆様本当にありがとうございました。
またハワイに行ったら参加したいです。
たくさんのみなさんに参加していただきたいツアーです！
海にも海の生き物にも人にも優しいドルフィン＆ユー最高です(^^)

Sea turtles are the best! ウミガメサイコー

I participated in the tour starting at 12:00. The snorkeling lasted about an hour. There were four sea turtles swimming, and I was able to see them up close when they surfaced for air. However, it was disappointing to see someone of Asian descent touching the sea turtles at that time. After that, we cruised for about an hour before returning.

シュノーケリングは大体1時間程度で行われました。ウミガメが4匹泳いでおり、息継ぎで浮上した際には間近で見る事が出来ました。ただ、その時にアジア系の人がウミガメに触れており、残念でした。そのあと1時間程度クルージングをして戻る流れです。

It was the best tour I've ever participated in. There were only the two of us Japanese, and the rest were foreigners, but there were so many fish, and it was my first experience swimming so close to a sea turtle. It was an emotional moment after visiting Hawaii so many times.

今までの参加したツアーの中で最高のツアーでした。

Reviewed by: mana

We participated as a couple.
The instructions were in English, but they explained everything in a way we could understand, and we enjoyed ourselves throughout.
After moving to the sea turtle point, we had plenty of fun snorkeling, and after getting out of the water, we went sailing towards Diamond Head. We were super excited to see sea turtles for the first time while sailing.
Even though we weren't far from the beach, there were a lot of sea turtles.
We were able to take pictures with the GoPro we brought.
The sailing was faster than we expected and felt really good; I'm so glad we participated.
(It was mentioned that fins would incur a fee, but it turns out there was no charge. In fact, I think without fins, unless you're very confident in your swimming, you would likely be swept away.)

夫婦で参加しました。
英語のみの案内でしたが、こちらが分かるように説明して下さり、終始楽しめました。
海亀のポイントまで移動してからたっぷりシュノーケリングを楽しみ、海から上がってからはダイヤモンドヘッドの方までセーリング。初めての海亀にセーリングに大興奮。

持参したgoproで撮影もできました。
セーリングは思った以上にスピードがありとても気持ち良く、参加出来て本当に良かったです。
(フィンは有料と記載がありましたが、お金はかからないそうです。
むしろフィンがないと余程泳ぎに自信がない限り、流されてしまうと思います。)

I had anticipated it, but... 予測はしていましたが

Reviewed by: MIHO

This tour is more of a picnic on a boat off the coast of Oahu rather than a dolphin-watching tour, so in that sense, it offers entertainment and could be enjoyable for those who are not used to being on the water. If you go in with the mindset that seeing dolphins would be a lucky bonus, you won't be disappointed. It was completely different from the dolphin tours on the Big Island. The staff followed the company's concept of providing entertainment, but at times their individuality came through, which I found a bit immature.

イルカを見るツアーというよりはオアフ島沖を船でピクニックするツアーで、そういう意味ではエンターテイメントもあり海に慣れていない人にとっては楽しいのではないでしょうか。
イルカは見れたらラッキーくらいのつもりでないとがっかりします。
ハワイ島のイルカツアーとは全く別物でした。
スタッフは楽しませようという会社のコンセプトにのっとってそれなりに業務されていましたが所々に個が出ていて幼稚だなぁと思いました。

I participated in the tour starting at 12:00. The snorkeling lasted about an hour, followed by approximately an hour of cruising before returning. When I joined, I was lucky enough to see a sea turtle swimming.

It was great to experience something out of the ordinary while snorkeling slowly in deeper waters and swimming alongside the fish and sea turtles. The water was clearer than I expected, making it enjoyable to swim. For Japanese speakers, a simple one-page notice with precautions was provided.

I have seen sea turtles several times before, but this time I was able to get so close that it felt like I was about to bump into one, and it was very exciting.

It was quite rare for Waikiki, which is usually full of Japanese people, to have no other Japanese participants or staff besides my family, and that atmosphere felt very refreshing.

これまでも何度か海ガメを見たことはありますが、今回はぶつかりそうなくらいに近くまで接近することが出来て、とてもエキサイティングでした。

The boat feels great! 船が気持ち良い！

Reviewed by: ぷーぴー

I had heard that there were few Japanese people on this experience, and there were none besides us during our time. All the announcements were in English, so there were many moments when my husband and I, with our limited English skills, didn't quite understand what was being said. However, as long as you go with the flow of those around you, you'll be fine. They also respond casually to questions, even if you ask in broken English.

Before departure, they showed us a board written in Japanese that included information about drinks, safety on the boat, and tips.

For those with experience, it was okay to take off the life jackets, so we dove in without wearing them (they are mandatory in emergencies and are provided to everyone). They also lent fins for free to everyone. Life jackets and masks were distributed on the boat, and just before entering the water, they applied anti-fog solution to the masks and handed us the fins. However, the fins were a bit large since the sizes were quite general.

The depth of the sea was probably around 10 to 15 meters, and we got to see sea turtles! (There were several of them.) The fish we saw were black and a bit striped, so I wouldn't expect a colorful variety.

When we came up once, there were already people on the boat drinking alcohol. When we tried to go back into the sea, they kindly informed us that we had about five minutes left, saying, "This is the last chance!" (of course, in English).

At the end, there were people enjoying jumping off the boat. It was heartwarming to see everyone cheering and laughing as the kids jumped in.

I thought we would head back right away, but instead, we sailed further before returning, enjoying nearly an hour of sailing. It was quite rocky, so I would recommend taking motion sickness medication. The foreigners seemed to have a strong image, but some were looking quite exhausted. Of course, there were also some strong ones who were drinking heavily!

The payment for drinks was on a self-report basis after returning to the sandy beach. At that time, we put tips in a box, and the captain rang a bell and expressed his gratitude.

There were many small children, so it seems like families can enjoy this as well. The boat also had a restroom.

こちらの体験談で、日本人が少ないと聞いていましたが、私たちの時も日本人は他にいませんでした。
案内も全て英語でしたので、英語力の乏しい私たち夫婦には途中のアナウンスがよく分からない場面も多々ありました笑
でも周りの人たちに合わせていれば大丈夫です。また、拙い英語で質問しても気軽に答えてくれます。
出発前には日本語で書かれたボードを1枚見せてくれました。(飲み物や船上での注意、チップについてなどが書かれていました)

ライフジャケットは、経験のある人は外してもokでしたので、着用せずに潜りました。(緊急時は必須とのことで、全員に配られます)
またフィンも全員無料で貸してくれました。
船上でライフジャケットとマスクが配られ、海に入る直前に、マスクに曇り止めを付けてもらい、フィンを受け取ってGOです。ただ、フィンはサイズがザックリしているので、少し大きかったです。
海の深さは恐らく10〜15m位の所で、ウミガメにも会えました！(しかも何匹もいました)魚は、黒い魚と少しシマシマ模様の魚、という感じです。カラフルな感じは期待できないかと。

途中一度上がると、船では既にお酒を飲んでいる人たちも。再度海に入ろうとすると、丁寧にあと5分くらいで終わりだからラストね！と声をかけてくれました(もちろん英語ですが)

最後は、船からの飛び込みを楽しむ人たちも。子どもが飛び込むのをみんなで、笑いながら応援していて微笑ましかったです。

そのあとすぐ帰るのかと思いきや、もっと奥まで船を進めてから戻るコースで、1時間近くセーリングを楽しめました。結構波に揺られるので、酔い止めは必須かと。外国人の方は勝手に強いイメージでしたが、何人かグッタリしていました。もちろん、がんがんお酒を飲みまくる強者も笑

飲み物の精算は、砂浜に帰ってから船上で申告制でした。その時にboxの中へチップを。入れると船長がベルを鳴らして感謝の言葉を言ってくれていました。

小さい子どもも沢山いたので、家族連れでも楽しめそうです。船にはトイレも付いていました。

I found this tour while searching for relaxing activities to join in the afternoon just before my trip. The two-and-a-half-hour tour allowed us to snorkel off the coast of Waikiki, and we could also enjoy the beautiful views of Waikiki while on the boat—it was fantastic! We were able to see sea turtles and tropical fish without having to travel far, which was very moving. I often have so many things I want to do that my schedule becomes hectic, and I thought I might have to give up on snorkeling, but this tour offers plenty of opportunities to enjoy the ocean. It's also great for families! There were many other foreign participants, so we could all have a fun time together!

午後からゆっくり参加できるアクティビティを旅行直前まで探していた時にみつけたツアーでした。ワイキキ沖でシュノーケリングができ、しかも船に乗りながらゆっくりとワイキキの景色も堪能できる２時間半のツアーは最高でした！時間かけて遠くまで行かなくてもウミガメや熱帯魚も見れてとても感動♪いつもやりたいことが多くて、ハードスケジュールになる為、シュノーケリングを諦めないといけないかなぁと思っていましたがこちらのツアーは充分に海を楽しめる内容です。家族連れの方にも楽しめます！他の外国人の方もたくさん参加されていましたのでみんなでワイワイ楽しく過ごせます！

Swim with sea turtles & thrilling sailing 海亀と泳げる&スリリングなセーリング

Reviewed by: you

Since I was staying at the Sheraton Waikiki, the check-in location was close and easy to find. The reception and the crew on the boat did not understand Japanese at all, but if you know some simple English and words, you'll manage just fine.

I snorkeled freely where there were about 4 to 5 sea turtles. The turtles would come up to the surface to breathe multiple times, so I was able to take pictures up close, which made me very happy. The crew members occasionally checked in with a friendly "Are you okay?" in broken English, which was nice.

The sailing was headed towards Diamond Head, and the waves were really rough, making it feel like an attraction. However, since the waves splashed onto the boat and soaked us completely, I recommend putting important items in waterproof bags.

I went with my family of five adults, and even my mother, who didn't snorkel, was very satisfied with the sailing experience. Additionally, they provided a drink menu in Japanese, so I was able to enjoy my favorite drinks while taking in the beautiful ocean, which made me very happy!

シェラトンワイキキに宿泊していたため、受付場所も近く分かりやすかったです。受付や船の船員さんは日本語が全く通じませんが、簡単な英語と単語が分かれば何とかなります。
シュノーケルは海亀が4〜5匹いるところで自由にシュノーケルしました。海亀は何度も息つぎしに海面に上がってくるので近くで写真を撮ったりもでき、大満足でした◡̈⃝
乗務員のお兄さんたちも時折、片言ですが『だいじょぶ？』と声をかけてくれて、フレンドリーでした。

セーリングはダイヤモンドヘッド方面に向かい波がすごく荒かったので、アトラクション感覚で楽しめました。ただ、波が船の上に上がってきて、全身濡れるので、大事なものは防水の袋などにいれて持って行った方がいいと思います。

成人してる家族５人で行きましたが、シュノーケルしない母もセーリングが楽しかったと大満足でした。またドリンクメニューは日本語の紙を渡してくれたので、好きなお酒を飲みながら綺麗な海も見れて大満足でした！

Reviewed by: Sali

In the morning, a dedicated bus came to pick us up near the hotel. From there, we traveled by boat to the location where the dolphins were. During the first two attempts, we couldn't see any dolphins, and I was worried about whether we would get to see them, but we were able to see them swimming underwater!

Due to lack of sleep and fatigue, along with the low water temperature, I ended up feeling seasick towards the end, but I’m glad I had this valuable experience.

I think it would be better to prepare some motion sickness medication if possible.

朝は専用バスがホテル近くまで迎えに来てくれました。
そこから船でイルカのいる場所まで移動。最初の二回はイルカは見えず、会えるかどうか不安でしたが無事に水中を泳ぐ姿が見れました！

寝不足と疲労、それから水温が低かった為に最後の方は船酔いしてしまいましたが、貴重な体験ができて良かったです。

40 people! Packed tightly into a small boat! 40人も！小さな船にぎゅうぎゅう詰め！

Reviewed by: ハネムーンでした

We used this service for our honeymoon. The small boat was packed with about 40 adults and around 5 instructors. No matter how much profit is at stake, that was terrible. I am a diver, and even on boats of similar size, the limit is 10 people.

There was hardly any space to sit, and of course, there were beginners in snorkeling, so when we spotted dolphins, everyone was flailing around in the water, and the dolphins quickly disappeared. It was handled in a way that made it feel like just being lucky to see them once! Therefore, I do not recommend this company for those hoping for a leisurely dolphin swim.

The camera fees were also exorbitant, with still images costing $60 and both still images and videos costing $100, which is shocking. Additionally, although it was optional, there was also a charge for the wetsuit. There was only one photographer for 40 people. When I checked the photos after returning home, despite paying a high price, I only had about 20 photos of myself. I am not satisfied with this.

I believe that if they reduced the capacity to around 20 people and added another photographer, the tour would be much better. I hope for improvements.

I was truly happy to see wild dolphins, even just once. For my next trip to Hawaii, I plan to use a different tour company.

Thank you.

今回ハネムーンで利用しました。
小さな船に大人40人とインストラクター約5人がぎゅうぎゅう詰めでした。
いくら利益の為とはいえ、あれはひどいです。私はダイバーですが、ダイビングでは同じような大きさの船でも10人が限度です。

座るところを探してもないぐらいの押込み具合で、もちろんシュノーケリング初めての方もいらっしゃいますので、イルカを見つけると、海上でバタバタし、イルカもすぐにいなくなりました。一目見れただけでラッキーだね！という捌き方なので、ゆっくりドルフィンスイムを希望の方にはこちらの会社はオススメ致しません。

カメラ撮影も高額で、静止画で60ドル、静止画&動画は100ドルと驚きの価格です。その上任意ですが、ウェットスーツ代も取られます。
カメラマンは40人に対して、1人だけです。帰国後に写真を確認すると、高額を支払ったにもかかわらず、やはり自身の写真は20枚前後です。これには納得がいきません。

定員数を20人程にし、カメラマンをもう一人増やせば、もっとよりよいツアーになると思います。改善されることを希望致します。


野生のイルカを一目でも見ることが出来たのは本当に嬉しかったです。次回のハワイ観光では他のツアー会社を利用しようと思います。

I had a great time!! とっても楽しかった！！

Reviewed by: ako

I had a great time, so I’ll share some information for those who are new or considering a snorkeling experience. I hope this helps!

- The experience takes place on the left side as you exit the beach, where two blue umbrellas are set up. I confirmed at that time that fins are available for free (are they included in the experience plan?) so you don’t need to bring your own.

- Although it wasn't mentioned in the list of things to bring, if you are prone to motion sickness, especially seasickness, it's definitely a good idea to take some medication. The boat moves quite fast in the latter part of the experience, which might be a bit scary for those who are not fond of roller coasters.

- You can bring drinks, but it’s not necessary. Drinks are available for purchase on the boat (you pay when you disembark), so if you don’t want to carry extra items, I recommend buying them on the boat.

- During snorkeling, you can see schools of fish and turtles. I was able to see the turtles come up for air a couple of times, which was really close and exciting.

Wishing you a great experience!

楽しかったことは言うまでもないので、初めての方や、シュノーケリング体験を考えている方のための情報を書き込んでいきます。参考になれば幸いです。

・体験場所は、ビーチを出て左側に、青いパラソルが2つ並んだ場所で行います。
この時確認しましたが、フィン(足ひれ)は無料(体験プランの中に料金が入ってる？)で貸してくれるとのことでした。持参しなくても大丈夫でした。

・持参するものの中に書かれていませんでしたが、もちろん乗り物酔い、特に船酔いをする可能性がある人は、酔い止めを必ず飲んだ方がいいです。体験の後半かなりのスピードで船が移動します。ジェットコースターが苦手な方には、ちょっと怖いレベルかもしれません。

・飲み物は持参しても、しなくてもかまいません。船の中で有料(降りる時に支払います)で販売しているので、荷物が増えるのが嫌な方は船で買うことをオススメします。

・シュノーケリングについては、魚の群れや亀を見ることができます。亀は2回ほど息継ぎのため上がってきて間近で見ることができました。

良い体験になることを祈っております！

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。

2.5-Hour Waikiki Guided Turtle Snorkel Tour, Snacks & Drinks - Holokai Catamaran

Swimming with Sea Turtles

Reviewed by: D.McKiernan

This tour was simply AWESOME.
Pod of dolphins on arrival at the reef, initially 3 turtles, but shortly joined by another 2.
An experience of a lifetime and undoubtedly a highlight of our trip.
Crew were brilliant, friendly, helpful and 'down to earth' making it an overall experience well worth doing.

ウミガメシュノーケリング　ホロカイ・カタマラン号　高確率でウミガメに会えるタートルキャニオンへ！ソフトドリンク&スナック付き＜3時間／英語／ワイキキホテル発＞

It was an incredibly fun activity!!! 最高に楽しいアクティビティでした！！！

Reviewed by: もりもり

I had an incredibly fun experience with the activities. I thought the meeting time was until 8:30, but people started gathering around that time. I had read in reviews that there were hardly any Japanese people here, but that you could manage even without speaking English. However, there were a few groups of Japanese people besides myself, and there were also some groups speaking English, so I asked them to help translate.

When it was time, the woman at the reception said, "Follow me!" and guided us to board the Holokai Catamaran. It turns out you have to be barefoot on the yacht. Also, since boarding is from the beach and not the dock, if you wear pants that shouldn’t get wet, you will almost certainly get wet when boarding. I recommend changing into your swimsuit at this point.

I was able to see two sea turtles, a mother and her baby. They came up to the surface several times, but I missed seeing them. When the sea turtles are spotted, the divers will say, "Come on!!" so you will almost certainly encounter them. Other tour groups were also at the same spot. It was stated that fins were available for a fee, but everyone was given them for free. I wonder if that has changed?

After snorkeling, we enjoyed sailing with the sails catching plenty of wind. The outboard motor was lifted, so it was completely sail-powered. We sailed close to Diamond Head. During sailing, snacks were free, but drinks were for purchase. I felt a bit seasick from the waves while snorkeling, and since the boat was still rocking during sailing, I thought I would get seasick again. However, while chatting with the group that helped translate, I didn’t feel seasick at all. Interestingly, the locals were drinking beer and alcohol quite freely. I wonder how they don’t get seasick...

Especially after snorkeling, the sailing was refreshing and felt great. If you’re not worried about seasickness, I think enjoying a beer would be the best.

I thoroughly enjoyed both snorkeling and sailing.

最高に楽しいアクティビティが体験できました。
集合は、8:30までかと思ったら、8:30になったらパラパラと人が集まってきた感じでした。
ここの体験談で、日本人がほぼ皆無だが、英語ができなくてもなんとかなるというのを見ていたのですが、私以外にも何組か日本人のグループがおり、英語を話していたグループの方もいたので、その人達に声をかけ通訳の代わりをしてもらいました。

時間になったら受付の女性の方が「Follow me!」と言って乗船するホロカイ・カタマラン号まで案内してくれました。
ヨットの中では裸足でないと駄目だそうです。
そして乗船は桟橋ではなく砂浜からなので、濡れては行けないズボンを履いていくと乗るときにほぼ確実に濡れます。
この時点で脱いで水着になっておくことをお薦めします。

ウミガメは２匹の親子が見れました。
何度か水面に上がってきたそうですが、自分は見そびれました。
ウミガメが見えたらダイバーの方が「Come on!!」って教えてくれますので、ほぼ確実にウミガメに出会えるでしょう。
そして、他のツアーのグループも同じポイントにいました。
フィン（足ヒレ）は有料と書いてありましたが、全員無料で貸してくれました。変わったのかな？

シュノーケリングのあとは、帆にいっぱい風を受けてセーリング。
船外機は引き上げられているので、完全に無動力です。
ダイヤモンドヘッドの近くまでセーリングしてくれました。
セーリング中は、スナック菓子はFree。ドリンクは有料。
シュノーケリング中に波に乗って若干船酔い気味で、セーリング中も揺れているのでこのままでは船酔いすると思い、波風に当たりながら、通訳をしてくれたグループの方々と喋っていたら、船酔いは全くしなかったです。
その点、現地人であろう方々は、ビールや酒をガブガブ飲んでいました。
酔わないんだろうか・・・。

特にシュノーケリングの後のセーリングは、シュノーケリングの疲れを癒やしてくれて気持ちよかったです。
船酔いが心配なければ、ビールも飲めて最高だったと思います。

シュノーケリングとセーリング、どちらも十分に楽しめました。
