I woke up early in the morning. When I arrived at the meeting place, the energetic staff welcomed us. We took a bus to the harbor. I think a wetsuit is necessary for this time of year, as everyone who participated borrowed one. I wanted the data, so I purchased it for about $40. I recommend bringing at least a little money. From the harbor, we boarded a boat and set off on a dolphin search. During the boat ride, we encountered a pod of dolphins, which was amazing. Following the captain's instructions, we arrived at the snorkeling point. Everyone gathered together to snorkel. It was thrilling to see dolphins and sea turtles up close. However, the cold was more than I expected, and the rocking of the boat when getting back on caused unexpected seasickness. I dove twice, but for the third time, I waited on the boat. A few others also experienced seasickness. It was really disappointing. If I hadn't gotten seasick, I could have enjoyed the sea a bit more. I could have gone on the waterslide too... The staff were all nice. Many on the bus were fast asleep. It's a pity that the data I received didn't have many photos from snorkeling. I guess you have to actively ask for them to get good shots. This turned out to be a good memory, though. If only I hadn't gotten seasick...!!!!
朝は早起きでした。集合場所で待っていれば威勢の良いスタッフがお迎えに。バスに乗り、船場へ。ウェットスーツは時期的に必要だと思います。参加されていた方皆さんが借りていました。データが欲しかったのでたしか$40で購入。お金は最低限持って行った方がいいと思います。船場から船に乗り、イルカ探しの旅へ。船で移動中にも数頭のイルカの群れと遭遇で感動。キャプテンの指示でポイントに到着。ゲストみんなで固まってシュノーケル。イルカとウミガメをまじかに見れて感動。ただ、思った以上の寒さとシュノーケルから船に上がる時の揺れでまさかの船酔い。2回ダイブしましたが、3回目は船の上で待ってました。自分以外にも数人船酔いしてました。もう本当にショックでした。船酔いしなければもうちょっと海で遊べたのに。ウォータースライダーも出来たのに・・・。スタッフは皆さん良い人でした。かなりのバスは皆さん爆睡。もらったデータはシュノーケルでの写真があまりなかったのは残念。たぶん積極的に声をかけていかないと撮ってくれません。これはこれで良い思い出になったのか。
船酔いしなければ・・・!!!!

We were blessed with great weather, and thanks to the very cheerful staff, we had a truly enjoyable day. Swimming with wild dolphins and sea turtles felt like a dream come true. They organized various events on the boat to keep us entertained, which was a lot of fun. The hamburgers were also very delicious!
I definitely want to participate again the next time I come to Hawaii! Thank you very much!
お天気にも恵まれ、とても陽気なスタッフの皆さまのお蔭でとっても楽しい一日になりました。
野生のイルカにウミガメと共に泳げて本当に夢のような時間でした。
船の上でも退屈しないよう、いろいろなイベントをしていただきとても楽しかったです。
ハンバーガーもとてもおいしかったです♪

We signed up for this snorkeling cruise as a couple because we heard we could see wild dolphins.
On the bus ride to the boarding location, the tour guide mentioned that they had searched for an hour yesterday before finally spotting dolphins, which made us quite anxious. However, once we got out to sea, we quickly encountered a pod of dolphins, put on our life jackets, and jumped into the water!
Immediately, a large group of dolphins swam right in front of us. We could hear their sounds, and they swirled around us. It was incredible to see wild dolphins, and we realized how lucky our team was.
Onboard, we were served handmade hamburgers while the crew performed a hula dance. Watching the dance while enjoying the burgers was exceptional.
On our way back to the harbor, we also spotted a whale. The spouting was very impressive.
We even got to see the tail fin, which can only be seen when diving deep, making it a truly wonderful experience. I highly recommend participating in this if you go to Hawaii!
この度、野生のイルカが見れるという事から夫婦で
このシュノーケリング・クルーズを申し込み参加致しました。
船に乗る場所まで移動するバスの中で
昨日、1時間探してやっとイルカを見る事ができた。という話をツアーの方がしており、
非常に不安でしたが、いざ海に出てみるとすぐにイルカの群れがいてライフジャケットを装着し
すぐに海へ!
すぐにイルカの大群が目の前を通り、
イルカの声も聞こえ、また自分たちの周りをグルグルしており、
水族館ならまだしも野生のイルカをみる事が出来、
自分たちのチームがすごくラッキーという事がわかりました。
船上で手作りのハンバーガーを貰い、クルーの人たちが踊るフラダンス。
ハンバーガーを頬張りながら見るダンスは格別でした。
また港に帰る途中にクジラも見れました。
潮吹きもすごく迫力がありました。
また海の底に潜る際にしか見れない尾びれも見る事が出来、
非常に良い経験でした。

At first, the price was somewhat high, and I wasn't very enthusiastic about the activity, but I participated due to my girlfriend's strong insistence. After joining, I was convinced... it was a very enjoyable and good activity. There are additional fees for things like wetsuit rental and photo/video data (optional), but I think the basic content is quite satisfying. Since I brought my own underwater camera, I didn't purchase the photos or video data, but while the price seemed a bit high, they were well taken and definitely better than what an amateur could capture. I couldn't take nice pictures at all (cry). If you have children or are in a large group without an underwater camera, I think it's worth purchasing. They will take pictures of everyone, but they prioritize the buyers for the shooting... As for the dolphins, we saw them for a rather short time, but I think everyone wished to see them a bit longer. We also saw sea turtles swimming, which was a rare experience that you don't get to have often. The staff were amazing! They were all very lively, so if you're not good with that, it might be a bit much, but I truly felt it was worth participating. This is all my personal opinion, but if you have even a little interest, I definitely recommend joining (laugh).
最初はお値段もソコソコするし、そこまで乗り気では無いアクティビティだったのですが彼女のゴリ押しで参加しました。参加して納得…とても楽しく良いアクティビティでした。ウェットスーツレンタルや写真、動画データなどの+αの追加料金(希望制)もあったりしますが基本的には満足出来る内容だと思います。当方は水中カメラ持参でしたので写真や動画データは購入しませんでしたが、お値段は割高な気がしますがキッチリ撮っていてくれていて、やはり素人とは比べ物にならなく納得出来そうな良い物でした。自分は全然綺麗に撮れなかったです(泣) お子様が居るご家族や大人数で水中カメラ持参で無い様でしたら購入価値はかなりあるかと思います。皆、撮って頂けますが一応、購入者優先で撮影してくれますので…。肝心のイルカはかなり短い時間でしたが見れました。もう少し長く見たいと皆様、思われていたと思います。海亀も普通に泳いでいて中々体験出来ない貴重な時間でした。スタッフの方たちも最高でした!皆ノリノリで騒ぐ事もあるので苦手な方は苦手かもしれませんが参加して良かったと心から思いました。全て個人的な意見ですが興味が少しでもありましたら是非参加をオススメします(笑)

On November 2, 2016, I participated with a friend. The weather that day was sunny, although it was a bit windy, the event went ahead as planned.
We had an early start, with the hotel pickup at 5:40 AM, but we managed to wake up. Since we were the last to be picked up, the bus arrived a little late and was almost full. That day, the bus was packed, with about 80% Japanese and 20% foreigners.
From there, the bus drove to the west coast of Oahu. Inside the bus, we signed a simple waiver on the provided iPads and watched a video on snorkeling guidelines. Those who wanted to purchase photos (to be delivered via USB) or rent wetsuits needed to inform the staff at this time.
My friend rented a wetsuit (paying $10 on the spot), while I wore my own short-sleeve rash guard and had rented an underwater camera in Japan beforehand. Other equipment was provided as soon as we arrived at the port. There were various sizes available, so it’s a good idea to choose something that fits well. (Also, don’t forget to take motion sickness medication at this time!)
We boarded the boat, which was also quite crowded. It felt a bit cramped, but considering the focus was on the dolphins, the boat ride felt secondary. Still, the cheerful staff kept the atmosphere lively with dances and performances, making it enjoyable. You can also go up on deck and take a commemorative photo with the captain.
Before long, it was time for the much-anticipated dolphin encounter! We put on our fins and masks and all jumped into the sea together. It’s best to follow the leading staff and look around underwater! I had my camera, so I took a few pictures. There were about 50 dolphins in the pod, but I was only able to spot around 10. I wish I could have seen more!
After about 10-15 minutes, we got back on the boat and headed to the next spot. (Since the time is short, don’t waste it by dawdling!) It seemed like we were trying to chase the dolphins, but due to the current (it was quite windy that day—what a shame!), we had to give up on the dolphins here.
Next, we dove at a spot known for the honu, or sea turtles. I was amazed by the dolphins, but I was especially thrilled to see my first sea turtle (and so close!). My friend was also impressed by the sea turtles! The staff, who understood the turtles' ecology well, shared tips on how to observe them, which made it really enjoyable.
Additionally, there were (simple) stand-up paddleboarding, a water slide, and a trampoline, so I think both kids and adults can have fun with these activities.
The finale included a Hawaiian performance and the captain's special cheeseburger as a farewell!
The staff were very lively, so I felt that some people might not vibe with them. Personally, I had a great time, but my friend seemed a bit less enthusiastic. However, if you view it as part of the cheerful Hawaiian communication, it felt very natural. The staff were all in their twenties, so they were very energetic and good at keeping the mood up.
After arriving at the port, we had some time before the bus arrived, so the staff called out to nearby members and organized an impromptu yoga session! Doing yoga under the warm sun around 11:00 AM felt wonderful. I thought this kind of service spirit was lovely.
Finally, we were dropped off at the hotel, and everything ended smoothly. We arrived around 12:30 PM, so our afternoon schedule went as planned! If I could see more dolphins, I would definitely want to go again!
2016/11/2に、2人で参加してきました。
当日の天気は晴れ。風がやや強かったのですが、予定どおり決行されました。
朝の出発は、ホテルに5:40迎え、とだいぶ早かったのですが、なんとか起床。
迎えの順番が最後だったこともあり、若干時間に遅れて到着したバスは、ほぼ満席状態。
この日は満員で、日本人8割、外国人2割程度でした。
そこからバスはオアフ島西海岸まで、走って行きます。
バスの車内では、配布されるiPadで簡単な誓約書にサインをして、
シュノーケリングの基本ガイドラインのビデオを見ます。
写真購入(USBでの受け渡し)の方、ウェットスーツレンタルの方は、
このタイミングでスタッフの方に申告することになります。
相方はウェットスーツをレンタル(その場で10ドル支払い)。
私は自前のラッシュガード(半袖)で、
水中カメラは事前に日本でレンタルして持ち込みました。
その他の装備は、港に着いてすぐ支給されます。
サイズも結構幅があるので、自分にフィットするものを吟味するのが良いと思います。
(あと、このタイミングで酔い止め薬を飲むのを忘れずに!)
船には、これまた満員キツキツで乗り込みます。
少し手狭な印象でしたが、イルカをメインと考えれば、船上はおまけみたいなものです。
それでも、陽気なスタッフが、ダンスやパフォーマンスで盛り上げてくれるので楽しめます。
デッキに上がって、船長と記念写真を撮ることもできます。
そうこうしていると、待ちに待ったイルカタイム!
フィンやマスクを装着して、皆でぞろぞろと海に飛び込んで行きます。
できるだけ先導のスタッフについて行って、水中をキョロキョロ見まわすのが良いと思います!
私はカメラを持っていたので、数枚パシャり。
50頭ほどの群れだったそうですが、私が確認できたのは、10頭ほどでした。
もう少し、見たかった、、!
10〜15分ほどで、一旦船に上がり、次のポイントへ。
(時間が短いので、モタモタしているともったいないですよ!)
イルカを追いかけようとしていたみたいなのですが、
潮の流れ(当日は風強め。惜しい!)も影響し、イルカはここで断念。
そのあと、ホヌと呼ばれるウミガメのスポットへダイブします。
イルカも感動しましたが、私は初ウミガメ(しかも至近距離!)にことさら感動しました。
相方も、ウミガメ凄かった!と感動していました。
ウミガメの生態をよく理解したスタッフが、観察のコツを教えてくれるので、
しっかりと楽しめました!
その他にも(簡易的な)SUPや水上滑り台、トランポリンなど、
アクティビティーでわちゃわちゃできるので、子どもから大人まで楽しめると思います。
ラストはハワイアンなパフォーマンスと船長特製チーズバーガーで、お別れです!
ノリノリなスタッフたちなので、人によっては合わない方もいるかもな、と感じました。
ちなみに、私はかなり楽しめましたが、相方は少し気乗りしない感じでしたね。
でも、ハワイアンな陽気なコミュニケーションの一環と捉えれば、すごく自然でしたし、
20代のスタッフばかりなので、すごく機動力もあり、盛り上げ上手でもありました。
港に着いてから、バスの到着まで時間があったので、
スタッフが近くにいたメンバーに声を掛け、臨時のヨガタイム!
11:00過ぎの暖かくなった時間帯での太陽の下でのヨガは気持ち良かったです。
こういうサービス精神は素敵だなと思いました。
最後はホテルまで送ってもらって、無事終了。
到着も12:30ぐらいだったので、午後のスケジュールも予定通りスムーズでした!
もっとイルカ見れるなら、ぜひまた行きたいですね!

We had a really nice time. Saw some sea turtles and some fish. Unfortunately it was windy and a boat of scuba divers scared off the fish and turtles or should I say made it hard to keep up with them. The crew was completely awesome. The sail to the other side of Diamond Head was amazing. We had a really good time.

I couldn't see sea turtles on the tour, but I was very satisfied to see many here. If you can swim, please consider renting or bringing your own fins. It seems to be a diving spot, and if you can dive to about 5 to 6 meters, you can see a variety of colorful fish. The area near the surface is full of black fish, so if you're confident in your swimming, give it a try. The staff was friendly, which was great.
海亀を見るツアーで見れなかったのですが、こちらで、いっぱい見れて大満足です。泳げる方は、是非フィンをレンタルもしくは、持参して下さい。ダイビングスポットらしく、5〜6m潜れれば、色とりどりの魚が見れます。海面付近は黒い魚だらけなので、泳ぎに自信のある人はチャレンジしてみて下さい。スタッフもフレンドリーな感じで良かったです。

I always wanted to check out the Turtle Canyon, and, on this particular trip, I was able to. My only complaint was that it was on the western edge of Waikiki Beach, which was somewhat inconvenient. In a perfect world, it would have been placed in the center of Waikiki's hotel row. I boarded the catamaran and was greeted by a very friendly and personable crew. Once on board, the staff gave us a safety briefing, then explained the protocol for snorkeling the area. Once we arrived at our destination, the captain dropped anchor and the group was off. It was not long before someone spotted some turtles. All of us watched in awe as we observed their underwater universe. We were in the water quite a while before the captain signaled us to come aboard. Then, we were treated to a magnificent sailing past Diamond Head and around Waikiki Beach. Between the snorkeling (an excellent exercise for me), the turtles and the sail, it was a perfect afternoon for me. I was back in time to go with my friend for evening entertainment. This is one of the top three activities you must do before you leave Hawaii. It is truly a magical day!

We went snorkeling as a family for the first time in Hawaii. Since the boat departs right in front of the hotel, you can easily enjoy it without having to go all the way to the North Shore. What surprised me was seeing a group of sea turtles swimming right in front of us. Even without snorkeling, the exhilarating feeling of sailing with the wind filling the sails was refreshing.
ハワイでは初めて家族でシュノーケリングしました。出船がホテルの目の前からなのでノースショアなどわざわざ行かなくてもお手軽に楽しめます。驚いたのは、ウミガメが目の前を群れなして泳ぐ姿が観れたこと。シュノーケリングしなくても帆に風をいっぱいに受けての疾走は爽快でした。

I have always dreamed of swimming with dolphins, so even though I was alone, I signed up!
The bus had the logo of Dolphins and You, making it easy to find. Once on the bus, I filled out a consent form on the iPad (in Japanese). We departed for the ocean to the west, about an hour from Waikiki. The bus was very clean and had a TV where we watched safety guides. They really make good use of travel time!
When we arrived at the port, there was a restroom break. There is also a restroom on the boat, but it's only for emergencies, so I recommend going beforehand. After receiving a wetsuit (USD 10.00), fins, and a snorkel mask, we boarded the boat! I was worried because it was windy that day, but the blue sky and blue ocean were so beautiful! Once we set off, I completely forgot about the wind and was super excited.
First, we searched for dolphins. The captain looked for them with his eyes. Once we spotted a pod of dolphins, we quickly got ready and jumped into the sea from the boat! I can swim, but since it was my first time snorkeling, I hesitated a bit... However, I felt safe with a life jacket on and the crew accompanying me. When I opened my eyes underwater, I saw the dorsal fins of the dolphins on the surface! And when I looked down, there was a pod of dolphins swimming gracefully beneath me!! I was so moved (*'▽').
Next, we set off for the second snorkeling spot, which was a paradise with sea turtles and tropical fish! It was amazing enough to swim with dolphins, but getting to swim with sea turtles too was just incredible~☆ Perhaps it was a backup plan in case we couldn't see dolphins. There, we enjoyed a boat slide and snorkeling. The sea turtles come up to the surface to breathe, so it’s important not to be directly in front of them, and the crew was strict about this for those who accidentally got too close. It’s impressive that this tour is eco-friendly and emphasizes nature conservation.
Eating burgers for lunch under the sun was the best! You could also choose your favorite mini chips. On the boat, the crew performed hula dances and let us go out on the captain's deck, providing great entertainment! Even as a solo traveler, they welcomed me as part of the 'ohana, which was reassuring. On the way back, they played the photos and videos taken that day, allowing us to relive the memories (they are also available for purchase).
I definitely want to do this again! The feeling of becoming one with the ocean is something everyone should try!
ずっと、イルカと泳ぐのが夢だったので、ひとりだったのですが申し込んじゃいました!
バスはDolphins and youとロゴが書いてあって簡単に見つかりました。バスに乗ったら、すぐにipadに書いてある同意書(日本語記載)を記入します。ワイキキから1時間くらいの西の海に出発します。
バスはとてもきれいで、TVつきでSafetyガイドなどを見ます。移動の時間も無駄にしないところがさすがですね!
港についたらトイレ休憩があります。ボートにもトイレはありますが緊急時のみ利用ということなので、あらかじめいっていくことをおすすめします。
ウェットスーツ(USD10.00)、フィン、シュノーケルマスクをもらったらボート乗船!
当日は風が強くて心配していましたが、ハワイならではの青い空、青い海!!
出発したら風のことなんて忘れてテンションあがりまくりでした。
まずは目的のいるか探し。キャプテンが肉眼で探します。いるかの群れをみつけたら、
急いで支度してボートから海へジャンプ!私は泳げるのですが、それでもはじめてのシュノーケリングだったのですこし尻込みしました。。。でも、ライフジャケットもつけていますし、クルーの人が一緒にきてくれるので安心しました。
そして海の中で目をあけると、水面にいるかの背びれが!そして、反対側を見ると自分のしたに
いるかの群れがすいすい泳いでいました!!顔を必死に水につけて凝視!
感動しました(*'▽')
次は第二のシュノーケリングスポットへ再出発。そこには、なんとウミガメと熱帯業のパラダイス!!イルカだけでも感動なのに、ウミガメとも泳がせてくれるなんて、素晴らしすぎる~☆
きっと、イルカが見れないときのための保険なのかもしれませんね。
そこでは、ボート滑り台とシュノーケリングをしました。
ウミガメは水面にあがって息継ぎをするので、真正面にいてはいけないらしく、クルーはたまたまいてしまったひとには厳しく注意していました。エコフレンドリーということで自然保護の照明をもらっているツアーならではで、さすがですね。
ランチのバーガーも太陽の下で食べるのは最高!ミニチップスも好きなものを選べます。
船上では、クルーがフラダンスをしたり、キャプテンデッキに出させてくれたり、
エンターテイメントが充実!ひとりでもオハナといって、受け入れてくれて心強かった~。
帰りのバスではその日とった写真やビデオを流してくれて余韻にひたれました。(購入も可能らしいです)
またリピートしたいです!海と一体化する感覚、皆様もぜひお試しあれ!

I went snorkeling in the ocean for the first time, and although it was a bit difficult to breathe due to my age, it was an incredibly moving experience. I especially recommend it for younger people! I think the experience of encountering dolphins, fish, and turtles up close is unforgettable. There were elementary school children participating as well, and I believe it's excellent for emotional education. We had our meal on the boat on the way back, and since it was an early morning, I was very hungry. The meal was a hamburger (BBQ = they grill the hamburger meat for you), so if you don't have to worry about seasickness, it's better to eat well. The staff were all very cheerful and kind, making it a fun time.
初めて足の届かない海でシュノーケリングしました、年齢的に少々息が苦しかったですがとても感動的でした。特に若い方にはお勧めです!間近でイルカや魚、カメに出会えるなんて体験は忘れることができないと思います。小学生の子供さんも参加されてましたが情操教育に最高だと思います。食事は帰りの船上でです朝が早いのでとてもおなかがすきました。食事といってもハンバーガーなので(BBQ=ハンバーガーの肉を焼いてくれる)船酔いの心配がない方はシッカリ食べていかれたほうがよいですよ。スタッフさんもとても愉快で親切な方ばかりで楽しいじかんでした。

Since it was an early morning trip, I was told that a wetsuit would be better, but the weather was so nice that I think it wasn't necessary. The dolphins were quite close to the shore, and we made our first dive a little way out on the boat. I was moved as the dolphins swam right underneath me and leaped a little ahead.
For the second dive, we went to a spot where turtles are often found. The water was clearer here, and there were many beautiful fish, making it very pretty. It felt like looking at an aquarium tank. I was also able to see the turtles right in front of me, which was amazing! It was great to have free time with people returning to the boat, playing on the slide, and snorkeling. I spent the whole time snorkeling, but I wish I had played on the slide as well. The light snack hamburger also had a homemade feel and was delicious. All the staff were friendly, and it was a very enjoyable time. Since it was an early morning trip, I had the whole afternoon free. I was blessed with good weather, and it became a wonderful memory. I definitely want to participate again when I come back to Hawaii. Thank you very much.
早朝の便だったので、ウェットスーツがあった方がいいとのことでしたが、天気がとても良かったのでなくてもよかったなと思いました。
イルカは結構陸の近くにおり、船で少し行ったところで最初のダイブをしました。イルカが自分の真下を通ったり、少し前を飛んだりと感動しました。
二度目は、カメがよくいる所でダイブしました。こちらの方が海の透明度も高く綺麗な魚がたくさんおり、とても綺麗でした。まるで水族館の水槽を見ているようです。カメも目の前で見ることができ、感動です!船に戻る人、滑り台等で遊ぶ人、シュノーケリングをする人と自由時間があって良かったです。私はずっとシュノーケリングをしていたのですが、滑り台等でも遊べば良かったなと思いました。軽食のハンバーガーも手作り感があり美味しかったです。スタッフの方々皆さんノリが良くとても楽しい時間でした。早朝の便だったので、午後は丸々使えます。天気にも恵まれ、最高の思い出となりました。またハワイに来た際は、是非参加したいと思います。ありがとうございました。

We were picked up in front of the hotel at 5:30 AM. I felt reassured that about 70% of the participants were Japanese. Moreover, more than half of them were also on their honeymoon and congratulated us. We listened to the instructions in English and Japanese on the bus. After a short boat ride from Port Harbor, thanks to E ho mai, we spotted a pod of dolphins and even encountered a sea turtle while swimming. Since we met the dolphins and sea turtles right away, we were able to enjoy stand-up paddleboarding, trampolines, and slides. It was a pity that there was only one kayak, so only a few people could experience it. The food included homemade cheeseburgers, chips, pineapple, and drinks, all of which were very delicious. The crew was cheerful, and they made the tour very enjoyable with hula dancing and funny stories. It was a bit pricey, but I would like to participate again. The Dolphin & You tattoo sticker was very cute and reminded me of the fun time even after returning to Japan.
朝5時半にホテル前でピックアップ。参加者は、日本人が7割くらいで安心しました。また、半数以上が私たちと同じハネムーンの人で祝福してくれました。バスの中で英語と日本語で注意事項を聞きました。ポートハーバーから船で少し行くと、E ho maiのおかげからか、イルカの群れを発見、泳いでいるとウミガメにも会えました。すぐにイルカ・ウミガメに会えたので、スタンドアップパドルボードや、トランポリン、滑り台を楽しむことができました。カヤックは一台しかなかったので一部の人しか体験できなかったのが残念でした。食べ物は、手作りのチーズバーガー、チップス、パイナップル、飲み物をいただきました。どれもとても美味しかったです。クルーの人も陽気な人ばかりで、フラダンスや、面白い話で場を盛り上げてくれてとても楽しいツアーでした。少し高いですが、また参加したいと思いました。ドルフィン&ユーのタトゥーシールがとてもかわいく、日本に帰ってからも楽しかった時間を思い出せました。

Last time, I participated in the fireworks cruise on this boat, so this time I joined the snorkeling and cruise. I was the only Japanese participant, but it was a pleasant cruise with a nice breeze, and at the snorkeling point, I was able to see many turtles up close. All the explanations were in English.
前回こちらの船の花火クルーズに参加したので、今回はシュノーケリングとクルーズに参加しました。
日本人ので参加者は私1人でしたが、気持ち良い風に吹かれてのクルーズに、シュノーケリングポイントではたくさんの亀を間近で見る事が出来ます。
説明も全て英語です。

It was a clear day, and we were able to see wild dolphins and sea turtles. There were plenty of activities like slides, trampolines, and crew dances, which made it a lot of fun. I bought a rash guard from Dolphin & You as a souvenir! It was my first time abroad, and it became a wonderful memory.
当日は快晴で野生のイルカやウミガメを見ることができました。
滑り台やトランポリン、クルーのダンス等盛りだくさんでとても楽しかったです。
記念にドルフィン&ユーのラッシュガードを買いました!
初めての海外でしたがとても良い思い出になりました。

The optional tour I was looking forward to the most on this trip was amazing! I encountered dolphins and sea turtles multiple times, which was the highlight!
There were two snorkeling sessions: the first at a dolphin spot and the second at a sea turtle and tropical fish spot. After that, we had free time where we could continue snorkeling, relax on the boat, or play on the slide and water trampoline. We had so much fun!
The staff were all cheerful, and we enjoyed dancing together on the boat. The BBQ hamburgers were also very delicious.
I recommend bringing an underwater camera. Even as a beginner, I was able to take great photos! I can't mention other rental sites, but you can rent one in Japan for about 5,000 yen for a week, so definitely consider it!
今回の旅行でイチバン楽しみにしていたオプションツアー
イルカともウミガメとも何度も遭遇できて最高でした!
シュノーケリングは2回あって、1回目はイルカスポット、2回目はウミガメや熱帯魚スポット。
その後は自由時間でそのままシュノーケリングもよし、船でゆっくりもよし、滑り台や水上トランポリンで遊んでもよしと、めいっぱい遊べました!
スタッフもみんな陽気な方ばかりで、船上でダンスをして一緒に楽しみました。
BBQハンバーガーもとても美味しくいただきました。
水中カメラを持って行くのをオススメします。
素人でもしっかり撮れましたよ!
他のサイトの宣伝は書けませんが、日本で5000円出せば1週間程度レンタルできるのでぜひぜひ♪

I was able to see dolphins!!!
Since I had heard that wild dolphins might not be seen sometimes, I was a bit worried about today, but I was truly moved to be able to see them o(^▽^)o♡
I was able to see them so clearly that I felt like I was looking at an aquarium tank.
I got to watch them swim for a while, and I was so happy to see a small baby dolphin too!
They swam quite close to us.
The dolphins were really cute o(^▽^)o
Not only dolphins, but I also saw about five or six sea turtles!
It was my first time seeing so many sea turtles up close, and I was really impressed!
When they came up for air, I was able to see them so closely, it was amazing!! I regretted not bringing an underwater camera... (laughs)
On the boat heading to the dolphin swimming point, the crew members kept the atmosphere lively, and we had a great time♡
The hula dance was wonderful too♡♡
I've participated in various tours before, but I think this was the most fun tour I've ever had!
The Japanese was so good, just like a native speaker, so I had no trouble during the tour (^。^)
I definitely want to participate again when I go to Hawaii! Thank you so much!
イルカ見れました〜!!!
本当に野生のイルカだから
見れない時もあると聞いていたので、今日はどうかなーと少し心配でしたが見ることができて本当に感動しましたo(^▽^)o♡
水族館の水槽を見てるのかと思ったぐらいにしっかり見れました〜
しばらく泳ぐ姿を見ることができたし、
小さい赤ちゃんイルカも見れて嬉しかったです!
私たちの割と近くを泳いでくれました。
イルカ本当に可愛かったo(^▽^)o
イルカだけじゃなくて海ガメも5〜6匹見れました!
あんなに近くで、あれだけの海ガメを見たのは初めてで大感動でした!
息継ぎをしに上がってきた時は本当に近くで見れて感動!!水中カメラ持って行けば良かったと後悔しました・・・(笑)
イルカが泳いでいるポイントまで向かうときの船でもクルーの方々が盛り上げてくれて楽しく過ごせました♡
フラダンスも素敵でした♡♡
今までいろんなツアーに参加してきたけど
1番楽しかったと思うツアーになりました!
日本語も日本人みたいに上手だったのでツアー中も何不自由なかったです(^。^)
またハワイに行ったらぜひ参加したいです!ありがとうございました〜!

This was arguably one of the best things we did this trip!! Our crew was AMAZING! So friendly, patient and helpful. I can't say enough good things. I've never snorkeled before, I'm not a strong swimmer so I kind of panicked when I was just our in open water even with the group. The crew member leading us to Turtle Canyon saw me struggling, came over and swam me there where I became just mesmerized by how close we were to the fish & turtles I calmed down enough to actually snorkel! She also took my camera down and got crazy awesome pictures. Food was great, drinks were delicious, the sail was beautiful. I cannot say enough good things about this excursion. Worth every penny! Cannot wait to snorkel again!

The water clarity was so-so. You could somewhat see the ocean floor, but not clearly. There were some larger tropical fish, but don't expect too much. However, a sea turtle appeared right in front of me, which was an experience I hadn't had in previous snorkeling trips. I recommend this for those who want to see sea turtles. The location for check-in was a bit hard to find, and the staff member who guided us spoke only English, which made it a bit confusing. That's why I gave this rating, but if you're not concerned about these aspects and just want to see sea turtles, it's a good option.
水の透明度は、まーまーでした。海の底は何とか見えたり見えなかったりです。熱帯魚は大きめな魚がチヤホヤ程度で、期待はしてはいけませんが、ウミガメが目の前に現れました。これは今までのシュノーケリングには無かった経験でした。ウミガメを見たい方はお薦めです。受付の場所が分かりにくいのと、受付の案内をするお兄さんが英語のみで、わかりにくかったので、この評価にしましたが、この辺りを気にせずウミガメを見たい場合は手頃です。

Unfortunately, on the day I arrived with my booking we were turned away, even though I had a printed booking for the trip and reference number. The Catamaran company had not had confirmation from Veltra sent through. They could have called to check but they did not seem interested in doing so. To be turned away was was embarrassing and disappointing as this was a birthday treat for that particular day.
We called Veltra and they did apologise for the misunderstanding and booked us on the next day. We had no issues the next day and I must say had a wonderful time. It was just lucky we had another free day.
