This was my second experience.

This time there were waves, and many people got seasick. Thank you to the crew for handling the situation.

Unfortunately, despite the captain's search efforts, we weren't able to see any dolphins. Last time, we were able to see dolphins multiple times... But it's nature, so it can't be helped. However, the ukulele live performance and dance on board were very lovely.

I look forward to the next time!! (^^) Thank you! (The next time is undecided...)

二回目目の体験でした。

今回はうねりがあり、船酔いの方が続出でした。
アロハを処理するクルーの皆さん、ご苦労様でした。

キャプテンの捜索努力も実らず、イルカに会うことはできませんでした。
前回は何回もイルカと会うことができたのですが・・
自然相手ですから仕方ないですね。
でも、船上でのウクレレライブとダンスはとても素敵でした。

次回に期待します！！（＾＾）
ありがとうございました！

I had a wonderful experience! ♡ 素敵な経験が出来ました♡

Reviewed by: ひらっち

I was anxious about whether I would get to see dolphins, but I was very happy to encounter not only many dolphins but also a whale! Since it was January, it was so cold that I had to wear a wetsuit to enter the sea, so I thought it would be good if the rental fee for the wetsuit, which is $10, was included from the start. The water was very clear, and I also got to see beautiful fish. From the boat, we even spotted a sea turtle!

After meeting the dolphins, we enjoyed activities like slides and snorkeling, making the most of our time in the ocean! For lunch, we had delicious cheeseburgers made by the captain! We all had a great time singing and dancing together, and the staff really made the experience lively and fun. Since I went to Hawaii for my honeymoon, I wanted to participate in something memorable, and I'm glad I did!

Lastly, I paid $60 for the photos, but I was a little sad that there were only two types of photos from underwater ( ; ; ) I wish they had offered a bit more variety (laughs).

イルカに会えるか不安でしたが‥実際にたくさんのイルカにはもちろんのこと。クジラにも出会えてとても嬉しかったです！！1月なのでとてもウェットスーツを着なければ海に入れない寒さでしたので、料金の中に最初からウェットスーツレンタル代の10ドル込みで良いのでは？！と思いました。海の中はとても透き通っており、綺麗な魚にも出会えました。船の上からはウミガメにも出会えました＊
イルカに会った後は滑り台やsap等のアクティビィティも行え、海遊びを堪能できました！！
お昼ご飯はキャプテン手作りのチーズバーガー、美味しかったです！！みんなで楽しく歌ったり、ダンスをしたり、
スタッフの方々がとても盛り上げて下さり、とっても楽しい時間が過ごせました。今回、ハネムーンでハワイに行きましたので、何か思い出に残る体験がしたいと！思いから参加しました。参加して良かったです♡
最後に‥写真代60ドルを払ったのですが‥海の中の写真が2パターンのみというのが少し悲しかったです（ ; ; ）もう少しアピールをすればよかったです（笑）

My husband and I participated with our 3.6-year-old. As per the information provided, we brought towels, warm clothing, and motion sickness medication, and boarded the bus without a changing area (the wet suit rental didn't fit). I was worried about getting seasick and snorkeling in deep water for the first time, but the care from the staff completely alleviated my concerns! They said the hamburger was amazing. We swam with dolphins and fish, and also saw a humpback whale and a turtle. I was moved to hear the dolphins' voices in the video! We also enjoyed the slide, trampoline, and stand-up paddleboarding, so it was definitely a fantastic experience!

小3.6年と夫が参加しました。情報があったとおり、タオル、防寒着、酔い止め持参して、着替え場所無しでそのままバスにのりました。(ウェットレンタルはサイズ合いません)
酔いやすいのと、初めて深い海でのシュノーケルが不安でしたが、それを吹き飛ばすスタッフさんのケアにに大満足！！ハンバーガー最高と言ってました。イルカ、魚と泳げ、ザトウクジラとカメも見れました。ビデオに、イルカの声が入ってることにも感動！！滑り台、トランポリン、SUPもでき、大満喫間違い無しです！

I was worried because it was the rainy season, but the water clarity was the best during the trip, and I was able to see dolphins right in front of me.

Above all, I had a great time from the bus ride there to the return trip. The staff were kind and attentive, yet had a relaxed vibe that suited us perfectly. There were many foreign tourists as well, which really made it feel like we were in Hawaii! It was truly enjoyable.

雨期ということもあり心配していましたが、海の透明度も旅の中で1番良くイルカを目の前で見ることができました。
そしてなにより、行きのバスから帰りまで、ずっと楽しかったです。
スタッフさんが優しいし、丁寧なのに、ある程度ゆるい感じが私達にはぴったりでした。他のツアー客も外国人が多く、ハワイに来てる！って感じで本当に楽しかったです。

I participated in a long-awaited tour to swim with dolphins during my trip to Hawaii. I have snorkeled a few times before, but swimming with wild dolphins was a first for me, and it was truly moving.

The weather was nice, but since it was February, it was a bit cold even with a rented wetsuit. I think it's a good idea to prepare for warmth and take motion sickness medication.

On this tour, I was lucky enough to see not only dolphins but also whales and sea turtles. The staff on the boat made it really fun with music and hula dance shows, so I had a great time. It became a wonderful memory of my time in Hawaii!

I definitely want to participate again the next time I come to Hawaii.

今回のハワイ旅行で念願のイルカと泳ぐツアーに参加しました。シュノーケリングは今までに何度かしたことはありますが、野生のイルカと泳ぐのは初めてだったので、とても感動しました。
天気は良かったですが、2月だったのでウエットスーツをレンタルしても少し寒かったです。
防寒と酔い止め対策は確りとしておいたほうが良いと思います。
今回のツアーでは運良くイルカだけでなく、クジラやウミガメも見ることができたし、船の中では音楽やフラダンスのショーでスタッフの方々が楽しく盛り上げてくれたので本当に楽しかったです。ハワイでの良い思い出になりました‼
次にハワイへ来るときも是非参加したいと思います。

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

Fantastic Trip!

Reviewed by: MeSoHappy

This was a great trip to go on. The check-in went smooth and the staff were friendly. The ocean was rough but the boat was so stable that I did not even get sea sick. While we were not able to go snorkeling because of this, we saw a whale and lots of dolphins! The morning sunshine made for a beautiful backdrop to the Waianae coastline. Ocean Joy is environmentally friendly to the dolphins and we normally would get to snorkel- just not with the dolphins since it disturbs them.

Our photographer gave everyone a 50% discount on our normally $40 photo package and the photos turned out great! We appreciated the treatment of the crew and everyone had fun even though we did not snorkel. Drinks and lunch were served and everything was tasty. I had fun and look forward to going with this crew again someday. Thanks to Veltra for a smooth confirmation process. It could not have been easier to book a fun outing.

Reviewed by: masakigu

The crew was very cheerful, and I never felt bored even when participating alone. I did suffer a bit from seasickness due to strong winds that threatened the event, but joining the tour was definitely the right choice. If you're participating in January, I strongly recommend bringing a thick windbreaker, as just renting a wetsuit for a fee won't be enough to prevent freezing on the boat after the first snorkeling session. Additionally, motion sickness medication is essential, especially for children.

クルー皆さんが非常に陽気で、ひとりで参加しても退屈することはありませんでした。開催が危ぶまれるほどの強風の影響で多少船酔いに苦しみましたが、ツアーに参加したことは正解でした。１月参加の場合は、有料のウェットスーツを借りたぐらいでは、１回目にシュノーケリングした後に船上で凍える羽目になるので、厚手のウインドブレーカー等を持参することを強くおすすめします。加えて酔い止めの薬は必須です。（特にお子様）

This was my second time participating. We were the only Japanese people, but even if you can't speak English, they can communicate in simple Japanese, and if you're not allergic to English, I think you can manage with gestures (laughs). I will upload a photo taken when we arrived at the snorkeling point after heading out to sea. The water and sky were both very beautiful and soothing. Life jackets and snorkeling sets (without fins) are included in the cost and are provided for free. This time, we were lucky enough to see three sea turtles! It was late December, but since I was wearing a long-sleeved rash guard, I didn't feel cold and enjoyed it. After snorkeling, free water and snacks (like chips and cookies) are distributed. I had two cups of sparkling water (I think it was $3 each). Payment is made all at once after arrival (I paid $10 including tips). On the way back, the boat rocked so much that it felt like a banana boat, which entertained the passengers (laughs), but the inside of the boat was flooded. There were about two people who seemed to be seasick and were feeling exhausted, but the staff kindly helped them by letting them smell some aromatherapy. I had a great time again. I will definitely participate next time I go to Hawaii!

2回目の参加です。日本人は私達だけですが英語が話せなくても簡単な日本語は話してくれますし、英語アレルギーが無ければ身振り手振りでも何とかなると思います（笑）。沖まで出てシュノーケルポイントに到着した時の写真をアップロードします。海の中も空もとてもキレイで癒されました。ライフジャケットとシュノーケルセット（足ひれ無し）は費用に含まれているので無料で配布されます。今回は運が良くウミガメ３匹を見る事ができました！12月下旬でしたが長袖のラッシュガードを着ている事もあり寒さを感じる事無く楽しめました。シュノーケル後は無料でお水やお菓子（チップスやクッキーなど）が配られます。私は有料のスパークリング（3ドルだったかな？）を2杯もらいました。支払いは到着後まとめて払います（私はチップ込で10ドル払いました）。帰りはバナナボートかと思うくらい大きく揺らして乗客を楽しませてくれたので（笑）船内は大洪水でした。2人位船酔いのようでぐったりしている方がいましたがスタッフの方がアロマを嗅がせたり優しく対応をしていました。今回もとても楽しめました。次回ハワイに行く時も、必ず参加します！！

Rather than swimming with dolphins... イルカと泳ぐというよりか…

Reviewed by: りょう

There were nearly 40 participants in the early morning tour, which felt quite large. The pick-up time was perfect. We received explanations in Japanese from a very friendly staff member, and upon arriving at the port, we received rental gear and changed into wetsuits. About 10% of the participants were foreigners, with the majority being Japanese.

As soon as the boat set off, the staff introduced themselves, and we encountered dolphins! However, in a good way, we were not allowed to touch or chase the dolphins. It was more about observing the pod swimming from the water.

When there are many people from other tours nearby, it creates a significant number of humans spread out in the water, making it hard for the dolphins to come close. While this is understandable, I felt that for those who are satisfied, it could be a very rare experience. Honestly, I couldn't shake the feeling of swimming closely with the dolphins as I had imagined. Perhaps my expectations were too high. If you want that experience, a private tour might be necessary, as nearly 40 people felt like too many. While it might be necessary for efficiency, I wished for a smaller group to approach the dolphins without startling them.

We dove twice, and during the first dive to get close to the dolphins, we spent about 30 minutes in the water, which left many women feeling quite groggy. There were many beginners in snorkeling, so I recommend taking motion sickness medication or purchasing and wearing a motion sickness band. There were quite a few people on the boat who looked exhausted, so please make sure to prepare adequately for warmth.

早起きの部で、合計４０名近くでのツアー参加者が居ましたがこれがとっても多いんじゃないかなと感じました。。
送迎時間はピッタリ。とても気さくなスタッフさんから日本語で説明を受け、港に着いたらレンタルグッズをもらいウェットスーツに着替えます。海外の方は１割程度とほぼ日本人。。
船が出向してすぐにスタッフさんの自己紹介を終えるとイルカに遭遇！！

ただし、良い意味でイルカには触ってはいけないし追いかけてもいけません！！あくでもイルカの群れが泳いでいるのをこちらも海中から覗き見るという感じです。

なので他のツアーの方などが近くにいると相当な数の人間が海に広がっているのでイルカもなかなか近寄ってくれません。当然といえば当然かもですが。。。
それでも満足な方であれば非常に稀有な経験ができると思いましたが、正直想像していたよりも近くで泳ぐイルカと一緒に泳げている感覚にはなれませんでした。
ちょっと期待値が高すぎたかなと。それを望むならプライベートツアーじゃないと無理かもしれませんが、４０名近くはさすがに多すぎるように思いました。効率を考えると仕方ないかもしれませんが、本当にイルカを驚かせないように近づいてもらうためにはもっと少人数のツアーだとよかったなと感じました。
２回ダイブするのですが、１回目のイルカに近寄るダイブで３０分くらい海に浸かっているのでこの時点で相当数な女性がグロッキー状態になっておりました。シュノーケリング初心者の方が多かったそうですが、酔い止め薬を飲んでおいたり酔い止めバンドを購入して装着しておくことをお勧めしますよ。船上でもはいてる方やぐったりしている方は多かったので、防寒対策もしっかりとご準備ください。

Even for one person, or someone prone to seasickness, the hospitality is so high that it leaves you completely satisfied. 1人でも、船酔い体質でも大満足できるほどの高いホスピタリティ

Reviewed by: morrissey

- First of all, on the morning of the event, a Japanese staff member made a morning call to our hotel room to inform us again about the meeting time and place, and I was pleasantly surprised by their attentive service.

- The guidance and advice during the bus ride were also excellent and showed a high level of professionalism! They provided important safety tips for being in the ocean (like avoiding contact with sea turtles due to potential fines and bacteria) and suggested not to sleep during certain hours to avoid seasickness, which was very considerate and reassuring. Announcements were made in both English and Japanese, so even those who are not confident in English can feel at ease.

- Once we boarded the boat, the hospitality of the crew was absolutely amazing! They struck a perfect balance between giving us space and being cheerful and engaging, while also being incredibly attentive and considerate. I believe it's rare to find such high-quality service even in various customer service settings within Japan. (I somehow became a fan, and honestly, I wasn't that interested in dolphins or the ocean, but since returning home, I've been following Dolphin & You's Instagram constantly.)

- We were lucky enough to encounter a pod of spinner dolphins right away! Also, it was my first time snorkeling, but it wasn't too difficult.

- Even if you don't see dolphins, you'll definitely leave satisfied with the crew's dance performances on the boat, activities like the water trampoline and air slide, and the delicious burgers grilled right there on the spot.

- By the way, I have a terrible tendency to get seasick, so unfortunately, I couldn't stay in the water for long and spent more time on the boat, but I still had a great time. I had the burger after getting back to the hotel when it was cold, but it was still fantastic! It's one of the best burgers I've ever had in Hawaii. The buns are purple, which is surprising, but they taste great without any weirdness (laughs).

・まず、当日の朝、日本人スタッフの方がホテルの部屋に、改めて集合時間や集合場所を知らせるモーニングコールをしてくださって、丁寧な仕事に良い意味でびっくり

・移動のバスの中での案内やアドバイスもプロファッショナリティを感じる素晴らしいものでした！海の中での注意（罰金を取られるしバクテリアもいるから海亀には接触禁止、とか）や、船酔いになりやすくなるから出来れば移動中◯時〜◯時は眠らない方が良いですよ、とかも凄く丁寧だし安心感が持てます。英語と日本語両方でアナウンスがあるので英語に自信がなくても安心。

・いよいよ船に乗り込んでからのクルーの皆さんのホスピタリティが素晴らし過ぎて！ほどよく放っておいて下さって陽気に接してくださるのですが、実は気配り目配り気遣いがすごい！日本国内のあらゆる接客サービスでもこれだけのものはなかなかないと思えるほど。（なんだかファンになってしまって、正直そこまでイルカや海に興味がなかったのに、帰国してからドルフィン&ユーのインスタずっとフォローしてます）

・ハシナガイルカの群れにも運良くすぐに出会えました！また、初シュノーケリングでしたがそんなに難しくなかったです

・たとえイルカを見られなかったとしても、船上でのクルーのダンスや、水上トランポリン&エアースライダーなどのアクティビティ、その場でグリルして焼く絶品のバーガーなど、絶対満足して帰れます。

・ちなみに私はひどい「波酔い」体質で、残念ながら長く海にはいっていられず、船の上にいる時間が長かったのですが、それでも楽しめました。バーガーも船を降りてホテルに帰ってから冷めたのを頂いたのですがそれでも絶品！ハワイで食べたバーガーの中で1、2を争う美味しさです。バンズが紫色でびっくりしますがクセもなく美味しいです（笑）

Reviewed by: まりこ

I participated in a long-awaited tour to swim with dolphins. An hour before the meeting time, the hotel staff gave us a morning call, confirmed the pickup time and location, and provided explanations, which was very helpful for us since we are not morning people.

The bus that picked us up had a monitor that explained the rules to follow when meeting wild dolphins and how to wear life jackets, allowing us to join the tour without any anxiety. Once we arrived at the port, we used the restroom and boarded the boat to set off!

Onboard, there was a tour guide who spoke Japanese, a photographer, and a lifeguard, all of whom were cheerful and played music, dancing with us. We had a great time without feeling seasick while heading to the dolphin spot. However, for those participating in the winter early morning tour, it might be a good idea to rent a wetsuit due to the cold wind and water temperature.

When we anchored at the dolphin spot, it was finally time to enter the sea! Guided by the crew, when I looked down, I saw a large group of dolphins swimming gracefully within reach. I was so moved when they came right beneath us that I got goosebumps! They came close to us about four times, and I was healed by the sight of the baby dolphins and their squeaky sounds.

Later, while we were heading to the next snorkeling spot, we encountered a pod of whales! We were lucky to see them blowing water and raising their tails just 50 meters away. When we arrived at the next spot and went snorkeling, we were able to see a mother and baby sea turtle swimming on a large rock. They were so cute, and as I watched them from above, time flew by. There were also kayaks, stand-up paddleboards, and a slide from the boat available, and everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves.

When we returned to the boat, the captain was grilling hamburgers for us, and having lunch surrounded by the great nature of mountains and the sea was incredibly delicious. On the way back to the port, they even played the ukulele and performed hula dancing, and the kind and cheerful staff made the tour even more enjoyable. It was truly a fantastic experience!

クルーに案内されて下を見てみると、イルカの大群が手の届きそうなところで優雅に泳いでいて、私たちの真下にきてくれた時は鳥肌がたつくらい感動しました！その後も4回くらい近くへ来てくれて、子供のイルカやキューキューという鳴き声に癒されました。
その後、次のシュノーケリングスポットへ船を走らせていると、なんとクジラの群れに遭遇！潮を吹いて、尾ひれを上げている様子がすぐ50M先で見ることができてラッキーでした！

Reviewed by: hppct

In January, I participated in a tour with my fourth-grade child. Most of the participants were Japanese.

First, after arriving at the port and before boarding the boat, we had to put on fins and wetsuits. If the sizes don’t fit on the first try, it can get hectic, so I recommend acting quickly, including using the restroom after getting off the bus.

Shortly after departure, we spotted a pod of dolphins, which was exciting. However, since the pod was large and scattered, it was difficult to see, so we spent some time looking for another group of dolphins. It took a while, but I appreciated the cheerful performance by the staff, which made the waiting time enjoyable.

Finally, we found a pod! After a brief explanation of snorkeling, we, as first-timers, cautiously entered the water. For a while, we were just trying to get used to the water, but we were able to see the dolphins three times. It was a strange yet moving experience to see wild dolphins swimming right in front of me in the deep sea!

After swimming with the dolphins, we moved to a different location for free time and activities. Snorkeling in an area with many tropical fish was also very enjoyable. We were lucky enough to see a sea turtle as well. Due to our fatigue from snorkeling and the chilly January weather, we couldn’t fully enjoy our free time, but I think if the timing was better and we had more experience and stamina, we could have had even more fun.

Overall, I felt the staff's desire to create wonderful memories in Hawaii, and I was very satisfied because I was able to have the experiences I had hoped for!

１月に小４の子連れでツアーに参加しました。参加者はほぼ日本人でした。
まず港に着いてから船に乗るまでの間に足ヒレやウェットスーツを着用するのですが、１回でサイズが合わないと慌ただしくなってしまうので、下車後はトイレを含め素早い行動をお勧めします。
出港まもなくイルカの群れを発見して期待に胸が高鳴ります。しかし群れが大きい（まとまりがなくて見にくい）とのことで、しばらく他のイルカの群れを探すことに。探すのに時間はかかりましたが、スタッフの陽気なパフォーマンスで待ち時間を楽しく過ごすことができて感謝でした。
そして、ついに群れを発見！簡単にシュノーケリングの説明を受け、シュノーケリング初体験の我々は恐る恐る入水。しばらくは水に慣れるのに精いっぱいという状態でしたが、計３回の群れを見ることができました。かなり深い海に浮かんでいる自分の目の前を、野生のイルカの群れが泳いでいくというのは、不思議な感覚というか、やはり感動しました！
イルカと泳いだ後は、場所を変えてアクティビティ等の自由時間です。熱帯魚の多い場所で、ここでのシュノーケリングも非常に楽しかったです。運よくウミガメも見ることができました。我々は初体験のシュノーケリングによる疲れと、１月で肌寒かったこともあって、自由時間を十分満喫できたとは言えませんが、時期が良くて経験と体力があれば、もっと楽しめたと思います。
全体を通してスタッフの「ハワイで良い想い出を」という気持ちが伝わり、実際に期待していた経験ができたので、非常に満足でした！

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

Fun outing in Waikiki!

Reviewed by: Erika

We had a great trip! lots of fun, great weather. The water was a little murky, was hoping it would be clearer but we saw lots of turtles & that was awesome We loved the cruise up past Diamondhead - perfect leghth of tim to enjoy but not get bored. I do think $60 was a little too high for what we got but I will also say my whole family incl 2 teens loved the trip & that made it worth it to me :)
Non alcoholic drinks should be included I think - soda or water at least! The snacks were a nice touch tho. Really enjoyed our outing & would do it again for sure. Great crew too & kocation was perfect for us to walk to from our hotel.

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＞

I got to meet wild dolphins! ♡ 野生イルカに会えました♡

Reviewed by: くーみんたん

I was so excited when I finally saw wild dolphins from the boat. They were jumping around in large groups, and occasionally they even showed off twist jumps like in an aquarium show, which was amazing. Once I got into the water, I only saw a pod of dolphins once, but a huge group swam right underneath me while I was floating! I brought my iPhone in a waterproof case, but I couldn't operate it well underwater, so I couldn't take any photos of the dolphins. If you want to take pictures underwater, I definitely recommend using an underwater camera. I encountered sea turtles several times. They swam right up to where we were floating, and I was worried I might accidentally touch one.

On the boat, the friendly crew kept the atmosphere lively and even showed us a wonderful hula dance. I enjoyed a delicious hamburger for lunch. During the free time for snorkeling, there were plenty of fun options available, like a slide, trampoline, canoeing, and stand-up paddleboarding.

Since I participated at a discounted rate, I was personally satisfied with the experience, but I think it would have been better if there were a few more opportunities to swim with the dolphins at the regular price. By the way, the crew mentioned that they saw a whale on the way back, but there was no announcement made to the group, so I missed it.

船の上から念願の野生イルカを見れた時にはとてもテンションが上がりました。大勢の群れでピョンピョン飛び跳ねながら、たまに水族館のショーみたいにツイストジャンプまで見せてくれて感激しました。実際海に入ってからは、一度しかイルカの群れを見る事が出来ませんでしたが、自分が浮いてる真下をイルカの大群が泳いでいきました！iPhoneを防水ケースに入れて持って行きましたが、水中ではうまく操作が出来ず携帯ではイルカの写真を撮る事ができませんでした。はやり海中で写真をとるなら水中カメラがオススメです。ウミガメには何度か会えました。私たちがプカプカ浮いている所に泳いでくるので、危うく触れてしまうのではないかとヒヤヒヤしました。
船上ではフレンドリーなクルー達が盛り上げてくれ、素敵なフラダンスを見せてくれました。
ランチのハンバーガーも美味しく頂きました。シュノーケリングの自由時間には、滑り台やトランポリン、カヌー、スタンドアップパドルなどなど、遊べるオプションが充実しています。
モニター価格での参加でしたので、個人的には満足な内容でしたが、一般料金で参加の場合はもう少しイルカと泳ぐポイントが多かったらいいかなと思いました。因みに、帰り際にクルーがクジラも見れたと言っていましたが、特に全体に向けてのお知らせは無かったので私は見ることが出来ませんでした。

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

Great Value

Reviewed by: Amy Ryan

Hawaii is expensive let's be honest. This is a great trip for the money. We had a group of 15 from age 3-65. It was an amazing adventure for all. When we finished snorkeling, the boat ride around diamond head with cocktails and great music was perfect. Thank you to our Captain Ryan and crew for a laidback barefoot excursion. We will definitely do it again.

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

great activiity and great value

Reviewed by: mrfujisan

crew was competent and friendly. it was an easy boat ride to turtle canyon. crew kept close eye on snorkelers for swimmer safety and protection of turtles. I saw the crew actually pick up plastic bag debris drifting by the site (left by someone else) to prevent the turtles from ingesting it. That's my kind of tour operators!!! After snorkeling, Holokai set sail and we had a fantastic wind powered ride. it was great. I will use them again, and I will recommend them to my friends for when the come to Waikiki.
