Took my wife on this tour. We loved it. Awesome, knowledgeable staff. Got to experience sea life in clear water, right off Waikiki, followed by an awesome sail on the catamaran, which we didn't expect. We thought it was just to see the turtles - so for us, the sailing was an awesome bonus. Highly recommended.

We loved seeing all the sea turtles! It was nice to have the flotation devices and the anti fog spray for the masks. The crew was amazing and so much fun! Thank you!

The crew was kind and cheerful while working, which made for a pleasant experience. I was able to see a dolphin for a little while, and I also saw a sea turtle. It was tough because the snorkeling mask didn't fit well, and seawater kept getting in. That didn't happen during a different activity the day before. Also, no one received an eco bag.

Had a great time! However, they did not provide fins. That would have made it slightly easier to snorkel. But other than that I thoroughly enjoyed it. Staff was great.

It was as good as I expected. The waves and wind were calm on the day, but there were a few people who got seasick, so motion sickness medication is a must. For lunch, it was not BBQ but a cheese bar. (The bread had taro in it.)
予想していたぐらいの良さです。当日は波も風も穏やかでしたが、船で寄っている人が何人かいたので、酔い止めは必需品です。お昼はBBQではなくチーズバーがです。(パンはタロイモが入っていた)

There are Japanese staff members, but the basic staff members are English speakers, so if you don't understand English, you might feel left out. I thought it might have been better to have more university-related staff.
When boarding the boat, it's better to sit in the open back so you can participate in various activities and enjoy yourself.
I applied for photos, but you won't get photographed unless you actively ask for it. During the time to enjoy activities, make sure to go and say, "Please take my picture!"
Many people were feeling seasick. It was nice weather, though. The motion sickness wristbands I bought on the pickup bus were expensive, but I believe they helped my daughters and me not to get sick! Our family usually has a weak constitution.
日本人のスタッフの方もいますが、基本英語のスタッフの方々が楽しい会話をしていますので、英語がわからないと置いてけぼり感を感じます。
大学さん系の方が良かったかなーと思いました。

We participated as a family of four. It was August, and all participants wore bodysuits. Those who were worried about seasickness purchased seasickness bands (for both wrists). Our family also took seasickness medication, but we wanted to enjoy ourselves, so we bought the bands. (Those without bands seemed to struggle with nausea!) We put on our snorkeling gear and jumped into the sea, following the person in front of us. We were lucky to swim with "dolphins," "sea turtles," and "fish" right away. After playing, we had lunch on the boat with hamburgers and fruit, and there was also a hula dance with the staff. Since we had signed up for photos ($60) on the bus ride there, we got to take commemorative pictures with the captain in the ship's upper control room, which made for great memories!
家族4人で参加しました。8月でしたが、参加者全員ボディスーツ着用して船酔いが心配な人は
酔い止めバンド(両手首)を購入しました。我が家も酔い止め薬は服用しましたが、楽しみたいのでバンド購入。(バンドない人は酔って辛そうでした!)シュノーケル道具一式を身に付けいざ、海に。前の人に続いて思い切りドボン!と飛び込み、すぐに「イルカ」「海亀」「魚」と一緒に泳げて、ラッキーでした。あそんだ後は、船上でハンバーガーとフルーツのランチやスタッフと一緒にフラダンスがありました。行きのバスの中で写真($60)申し込んでいたので、船の屋上操縦室でキャプテンと記念撮影や写真も優遇してもらったりしていい記念になりました!

We participated as a couple. We were the only Japanese people there. The explanation was only in English, but it was sufficient. The snorkeling lasted about 30 minutes, which was enough for us. The yacht ride afterwards was very refreshing with the splashes of water. Riding on the yacht became a great memory. The captain was really cool. It departs from Waikiki and returns in the morning, so I recommend it.
夫婦2人で参加しました。
日本人は私達だけでした。説明は英語だけでしたが、それなりに?
シュノーケリングは30分位でしたが、私達には十分でした。
そのあとのヨットは波しぶきをあげて、とても気持ち良かったです。
ヨットに乗れたことがいい思い出になりました。すごくかっこいいキャプテンでした。
ワイキキから出発で午前には帰るのでおすすめです。

We had a fabulous time on our snorkel sail. Loved the convenience of being able to walk to the boat launch, and the crew (including check-in personnel) were warm and welcoming. We were elated and surprised to be greeted by a pod of spinner dolphin as we sailed out off of Waikiki -- an unusual sight! -- and my kids were thrilled to watch them racing the boat. The snorkeling itself was great...not a ton of different types of fish, but we saw a half-dozen sea turtles and a couple of eels (COMPLETELY worth the trip). Our guides even found a small octopus for us to ogle!
Free snacks (chips) are provided, and water, beer, soda, and cocktails are available to purchase. They snorkel and mask they provided us were good quality with no issues. (No fins though, so if you have your own set you might want to bring them.) Highly recommended! We will be repeating the experience the next time we are on Oahu.

I couldn't meet the dolphins, but I had a great time. Since I had been learning hula dancing, I was really happy that they danced hula on the boat. It was also nice that they kept the atmosphere lively while we were searching for dolphins, allowing us to enjoy our time on board. After coming out of the water, some people were shivering in the wind, so I was glad I borrowed a wetsuit, but it was a bit tight, and it became uncomfortable after spending a long time on the boat. I regretted not getting a larger size. I wonder if someone brought bananas on board? I'll try again next time.
イルカに会えなかったけれども…
楽しめました。
私は、フラダンスを習っていた事もあり、船上でフラダンスを踊ってくれたのは、嬉しかったです。
イルカにを探している間、船上で楽しい時間を過ごせるよう、盛り上げてくれたのも良かったです。
海から上がり、濡れた身体で風を受けると、寒く震えている方もいましたのでウエットスーツを借りて良かったですが…少しキツかったので、長い時間船上で過ごしていると苦しかったです。もうひとサイズあげてもらえば良かったと…少し後悔。
誰か、船上にバナナを持ち込んでいたのかしら?
次回も、チャレンジして見ます。

I did see a pod, but it was disappointing that I couldn't see them up close. I'm glad I had the unique experience of eating hamburgers and dancing.

The captain and crew were friendly and very knowledgeable about the catamaran and about the area's flora and fauna. The gear supplied was well maintained and they had the correct optical masks for both of us that were glasses. We swam with several Honu as well as dozens of tropical fish. All in all it was a fantastic day and we are so happy that we made the trip.

I was able to see wild dolphins swimming in a pod for the first time. I also got to see sea turtles up close in the water... it was moving. The hamburger for lunch was delicious too!
The group I joined consisted entirely of Japanese customers. Perhaps because of that, a Japanese female crew member was there from the pickup, which made me feel at ease. I participated at the end of June, and since it was quite windy, I followed the advice of the Japanese female crew member and borrowed a wetsuit over my rash guard. As a result, the water temperature was comfortable, and I didn't feel too cold while on the boat.
By the way, it might be good to have a chamois towel (which you can use to wipe off most of the moisture and can be reused if you wring it out towards the sea) and a dry beach towel (to use as much as possible without getting wet, draping it over your back) with you. The air conditioning on the return bus is strong too...
初めて野生のイルカが群れをなして泳ぐところを見ることができました。ウミガメも海の中で、至近距離で見ることができ・・・感動。
ランチのハンバーガーも美味しかったです!
私が参加したグループは日本人のお客さんばかりでした。それもあってか?日本人女性のクルーがピックアップの時点からいてくださっていて、安心でした。
参加したのは6月末ですが、風が強かったこともあり、日本人女性クルーのアドバイスに従ってラッシュガードの上からさらにウェットスーツを借りて着ました。結果、海の水温もそれで心地よく、船上に上がっている時もあまり寒くありませんでした。
ちなみに、セームタオル一本(これで主な水分を拭き取る。海に向かって絞れればまた使えるので便利)と、乾いたビーチタオル(なるべく最後まで濡らさず背中にかけたりして使う)があると良いかもしれません。
帰りのバスも、冷房が強いですので・・・。

So, I have never been sea sick before in my entire life, but snorkeling in the swell did me in. The crew were SO FANTASTIC. They helped me out of the water, checked in over and over, and were a delight. No their fault I yakked, and the did everything they reasonably could to make the trip good in spite of it. The sailing part was awesome-- it was windy and a little rough and so we really raced along and got bounced around in the waves. Very exciting. I love boats!
