I was really looking forward to swimming with dolphins this time. I woke up at 5 AM, rubbing my sleepy eyes, and had breakfast before heading out for this tour.
Even for someone with diving experience like me, encountering such a large group of dolphins was truly moving.
They were moving in a large group just below the surface. Just when you think they've gone, they come back again.
It was truly a generous experience.
It felt as if they were inviting us.
They showed no signs of fear towards us.
During the cruise, the cheerful staff kept the atmosphere lively with Hawaiian dances and conversations, making it absolutely the best experience.
今回は、イルカと一緒に泳ぐことができるということで、
楽しみにしていました。朝5時に起き眠い目をこすりながら
ブレックファーストしこのツアーに臨みました。
ダイビングの経験がある私にとっても、これほどのイルカの大群に逢えるとは・・・・。
まさに感動ものでした。
水面、割と深くを大群で移動しているんですね。行ったかと思うとまた、戻ってくるんですね
まさに、大サービスです。
まるで、我々を誘っているかのように。
我々をを怖がる様子もなく。
クルーズ中は陽気なスタッフのハワイアンダンスとハワイアントークで盛り上がり
まさに最高でした。

The Hawaii Nautical Honi Olani was a great snorkeling adventure. On my trip we saw 5 turtles. I was very impressed by the snorkel guides knowledge of the turtles and where to go to see turtles. While in the water they pretty much gave you the ability to swim freely and explore the cannel. If you swam or drifted to far the snorkel guide would keep an eye on you and ask you to swim in. I felt very safe and knew that if anything happened the boat crew and snorkel guide would be there immediately. I would also like to give the boat crew an appreciation shout out for picking up beach balls and trash that were floating in the ocean. I am very pleased to see that they our environment. If you are looking for a relaxing snorkel adventure where you can see sea creatures in their natural habitat I would definitely recommend Hawaii Nautical Honi Olani.

We really enjoyed the snorkel sail tour. The crew of the catamaran were very friendly and knowledgable about the island and the event. The actual snorkeling was fun and we saw several green sea turtles but the waters were crowded with too many other vacationers. The deli style lunch with bar was perfect for this event. The sail back to the marina was great fun!

The weather was very nice. We went cruising on a catamaran, and the wind felt really good. After about 30 minutes on board, we arrived at the snorkeling spot and started swimming, where we saw a sea turtle swimming just about a meter away from us. There were also many fish, and the sea was beautiful. There were no other Japanese people besides us...
天気が非常によかったです。カタマランでクルージングしますが、風も非常に気持ちよかったです。乗船後30分くらいでシュノーケルする場所に到着し、泳ぎ始めましたが、普通にウミガメも1mくらいの距離のところで泳いでいたりしました。
魚もたくさんいて、海もきれいでした。日本人は僕ら以外にはいませんでしたが。。。

I have participated in other dolphin tours, but I felt that this tour was expensive and I should have chosen one of the more affordable options considering the content.
We bought a USB as a memento of our honeymoon, but there were really very few photos taken of us. The pictures taken from our seats on the boat mostly showed the boat's walls and the background scenery was lacking. Other groups had photos of themselves swimming in the ocean, but we didn't have any of those, which was really disappointing when we got back. Given that they said they wanted to take many photos of those who purchased the USB, I thought the number and quality of the photos were quite lacking. Moreover, the USB was expensive.
Even while swimming, we were told not to follow the cameraman, even though we were just swimming straight. It made me feel really uncomfortable, even though that wasn't our intention. When we were sitting on the edge of the boat, they were attentive to us, but they weren't paying attention to other groups of girls. They also guided us to indoor seats without mentioning that we could fit more people on the deck (those seats didn't allow us to see the surrounding scenery and were hot, making it hard to feel like we were on a cruise). I wish they had been a bit more considerate of everyone. Even though the Japanese guides might have been trying to be nice by saying things like "The sea is beautiful!" or "You seem a bit down," from our perspective, it felt a bit insensitive and lacking in consideration.
However, the crew that joined us locally was cheerful and considerate, which made it a lot of fun. The dolphins swam right next to us and below us, which was magical. We could hear their calls, and it was moving.
So, I think there are people who will enjoy this tour and those who won't. Especially since it was our honeymoon. We didn't have any photos underwater that we were looking forward to as mementos, nor any fun photos taken from the deck. Haha. I also felt that the guide's attitude was not very favorable, and while we did get to swim with the dolphins, I think I will use another tour next time.
他のイルカツアーに参加した事もありますが、このツアーは価格も高いし、内容も含めて他のもっと価格を抑えたツアーを選べばよかったと思いました。
新婚旅行の記念にusbを買ったけど、私たちを撮ってくれた写真は本当に少なく、船の座った席で撮った写真はバックの景色も船の壁ばかりで、他のグループは海で泳いでる写真もあったのに、私たちのものはなく帰ってきてみて、スゴくがっかりしました。
usb購入した人を多く撮りたいと言っていただけに、あまりにもな写真の数と内容だなと思いました。しかも、usb高い。
泳いでるときも、まっすぐ泳いでいただけなのにカメラマンの人についてこないでと言われて、そのつもりもないのにすごく気分が悪かった。
船の縁に座っていたときも私たちには注意していたのに、他の女の子のグループには注意していなかったり、もっとつめれば座れるデッキの席も何も言わず屋内の席に誘導したり(その席は周りの景色も見えないし暑く、クルーズしてる気分には到底なれない)、もう少し全員に配慮してくれればいいのになと思いました。また、屋内の席にいるのに海が綺麗だよーとか元気ないねーとか日本語ガイドさん達も気を利かせていっていたのかもしれないけど、
こっちの立場からすれば、ちょっと無神経で言葉にも配慮がないのかなと感じてしまいました。
しかし、現地合流のクルーは陽気で気を使ってくれたりと、とても楽しかったです。
イルカもすぐ横や下を泳いでいて幻想的。鳴き声も聞こえて感動しました。
なので、このツアーに合う人と合わない人がいると思います。
新婚旅行だったので尚更。記念に楽しみにしていた海の中での写真も無く、デッキから撮った楽しそうな写真もなく。笑
何となくガイドさんの態度も好感が持てず、イルカと泳げたからまあいっかというくらいで、
次回は他のツアーを利用すると思います。

We were delighted with this activity.
Nick the Captain and his 2 crew were excellent hosts, safety conscious and went out of their way to make the cruise enjoyable for the 2 couples on board. Normally there would be a few more people on the cruise but we lucked it that day
The cruise consists of a 15-20 minute cruise in a catamaran to an area well off Waikiki Beach known as a spot where Turtles come to have parasites removed by fish.
We then went snorkeling (flotation vests supplied and mandatory to use). One of the 3 crew on board was in the water acting as a guide and safety person. He quickly located some turtles and directed us to them. We saw numerous turtles, some small, some larger in the water below us and on the surface.
After the snorkeling we had the supplied lunch, basic but adequate although the bread rolls were a bit stale. Free soft drinks and 2 free alcoholic drinks if you wanted them included.
Then the crew set the sails and we cruised around up towards Diamond Head before heading back to port. All up a great trip and worth doing, recommended.

I had almost no experience with snorkeling, but I wanted to see dolphins up close, so I participated alone. Despite my age and the fact that I usually only do desk work, I was a bit worried about my physical fitness, but being optimistic by nature, I joined in on a whim, and it was really great. I felt so moved!! It became the best memory of my trip to Hawaii. I also think that being able to speak Japanese helped me participate with peace of mind. The burger I had on the boat was delicious, and I truly had a wonderful time.
シュノーケリングの経験もほとんど皆無だったけど、イルカを真近に見たくて一人で参加しました。高年齢もさることながら日頃デスクワークしかしていないので 体力的な心配もありましたが楽天的な性格なので、ノリで参加しましたが凄く良かったです。すごい感動を覚えました!!ハワイ旅行の中で一番の思い出になりました。日本語が話せた事も 安心して参加できた事だと

I participated with ten colleagues. While I slightly regretted not choosing the ranch tour instead of the dolphin cruise, it turned out to be the right choice.
Waking up early was tough, but I took motion sickness medication and wore a seasickness wristband (which I bought on the bus for $20, thinking it would be worth it if I could use it multiple times), and I felt great. The weather was nice, and we encountered dolphins early on. Although they sometimes swim away, they came quite close, allowing us to see them well. After that, we were able to swim near a large turtle, which was an amazing experience.
Before swimming, we sang a song to pray for safety and threw flowers together. The crew's singing and Hawaiian dance were also great, and the hamburgers and chips we had on the boat were delicious. I found the chips at the airport on the way back and bought some as souvenirs.
On the last day, I arranged to meet with one of the crew members, Mai, to experience yoga in the park. I definitely want to go back to Hawaii to see the dolphins again. I highly recommend it!
仕事仲間10人で参加しました。牧場ツアーとドルフィンクルーズのどちらかを選ぶ時に牧場にすれば良かったかなと少々、後悔しながらの参加でしたが、こちらにして正解でした。
朝早いのは辛かったのですが、酔い止め薬も飲み、船酔いのリストバンド(20ドル、何回でも使えるなら良いかと思ってバスで購入)も良かったのか体調もばっちりで、お天気も良く、早い段階でイルカに遭遇でき、逃げてしまう事もあるそうですが、近寄ってくるぐらい近くまできて、しっかり見ることができました。その後、大きな亀さんとも蹴ってしまいそうなぐらい近くで泳ぐ事もでき、本当に良い体験ができました。
泳ぐ前に無事を祈る歌を歌ってお花をみんなで投げたり、クルーの方の歌やハワイアンダンスも良かったし、船の上で食べたハンバーガーもチップスも美味しくて、チップスは帰りに空港で見つけて、お土産に買って帰りました。
クルーの一人のmaiさんとは、最終日にヨガの待ち合わせをして、公園でヨガも体験する事ができました。
また、ハワイに行ったら、イルカに会いに行きたいと思います。本当にお薦めです。

of all my snorkelling experiences in Hawaii over the past 5 years,
I would say this was the best to date. Turtles are surrounding you
And actually come up from underneath you so you have to kick
Away so as not to invade their space. Crew was very informative and friendly.
Chose the 9 am option so as to have lunch buffet after a morning of snorkelling.

I was a bit worried because there were reviews saying the meeting place was hard to find, but it was right there as soon as I went down the east corridor of Outrigger Reef Waikiki Beach Resort towards the beach. Once we reached the point in the ocean, we put on life jackets and snorkels and went underwater. We saw many black fish, and occasionally some white and colorful fish, and I was even able to see a sea turtle come up for air. Although there were no fins, I had a great time.
After everyone caught their breath, we went sailing. The weather was nice, the wind felt good, and the view was great. Snacks and drinks were provided. My wife had a bit of a tough time with seasickness, so it might be a good idea for those who are prone to motion sickness to take some medication beforehand.
集合場所がわかりにくいという口コミがあったので少し不安でしたが、Outrigger Reef Waikiki Beach Resortの東側の通路を海に向かっていってビーチに出たところにすぐありました。沖に出てポイントに着いたらライフジャケットとシュノーケルをつけて海中へ。たくさんの黒い魚と、ときどき白やカラフルな魚が見え、また一度ウミガメが息継ぎに上がってきたのを見ることができました。フィンはありませんでしたが、十分楽しめました。
みんなが一息ついたらセーリング。天気もよく風も気持ちよく、眺めもよかったです。スナックやドリンクが出ました。妻は船酔いで少し大変でしたので、酔いやすい人は酔い止めを飲むなどの対策をした方がよいかもしれません。

We participated in this tour because we really wanted to see wild dolphins on our honeymoon.
The meeting time was at 5:55 AM, but around 5:20 AM, a Japanese female staff member called our hotel room for a morning call. During that call, she informed us that we needed to wear swimsuits and that if we wanted to rent a wetsuit, it would cost $5 per person, so we needed to have cash on hand.
The participants on the bus were mostly Japanese, with about 20 people in total. Inside the bus, the Japanese staff explained the precautions and how to use the snorkel, which made us feel at ease. They also recommended that those who are prone to motion sickness take medication on the bus. Motion sickness wristbands were available for sale on the bus for $20, but I didn’t buy one. By the way, I got quite seasick during the parasailing the day before, but I didn’t feel sick at all during this dolphin tour.
Finally, we boarded the boat and cruised to the point where the dolphins were located. There were four staff members on board, and they were all very enthusiastic, chatting with us in English, which created a fun atmosphere throughout. Then we finally spotted the dolphins and dove into the sea with our snorkels! We swam close to the dolphins, and there were so many swimming just below me!! Both my husband and I were thrilled to see them up close. Please make sure to bring an underwater camera. I highly recommend participating in this tour.
ハネムーンで、野生のイルカをどうしても見たくて主人と二人で参加しました。
朝5時55分の集合でしたが、5時20分頃に、ホテルの部屋まで日本人の女性のスタッフの方からモーニングコールがありました。その際に水着着用のことと、水中は寒い為、ウエットスーツをレンタルする場合には、一人$5必要な為、現金が必要な旨連絡がありました。
到着したバスの参加者はほぼ日本人で、20名くらいがいたと思います。
バスの中で、日本人スタッフの方から注意事項やシュノーケルの使い方など説明があり安心できました。また酔いやすい方は、バスの中で薬を飲むことをお勧めします。バスでは酔い止めのリストバンドも売られていましたが、$20のため、私は買いませんでした。ちなみに前日参加したパラセイリングではかなり酔ってしまったのですが、このイルカツアーは全く酔わなかったです。
いよいよ船に乗り、イルカがいるポイントまでクルーズをします。スタッフの方4名いたのですが、皆さんテンションが高く英語で色々と話しかけてくれる為、終始楽しい雰囲気でした。そしていよいよイルカを発見し、シュノーケルをつけて海にダイブします!そしてイルカの近くまでみんなで泳いでいきました。するとそこにはたくさんのイルカたちが私のすぐ下を泳いでいました!!

One of the activities I absolutely wanted to experience on my trip to Hawaii was dolphin swimming. Since I chose the early morning plan, the meeting time was before 6 AM! I booked it for the latter part of the trip when the effects of jet lag were less, and going to bed early the night before seemed to pay off, as my husband and I, who are usually not morning people, managed to wake up properly. (Maybe we woke up because we were so excited?)
A large bus came to pick us up, and despite the early hour, the staff greeted us cheerfully. After the English explanation on the bus, they kindly provided a detailed explanation in Japanese, which was reassuring.
There were about 20 people that day, roughly half of the maximum of 40. Upon arriving at the port, we were finally ready to set sail! Unfortunately, it seemed there were no dolphins at the first point we headed to, so we had to move to a different location. As a result, the travel time by boat was longer than usual, which meant our snorkeling time was shorter.
When we arrived at the next point, we finally dove into the sea! After swimming for a while, when we turned to the staff's signal… there were so many dolphins!! We could clearly see them swimming right beneath us. We also saw many dolphins during our second dive.
Although the snorkeling time was indeed a bit shorter, we were able to enjoy seeing fish and sea turtles. The boat ride took longer, but it seemed that no one got seasick, and during the travel time, the staff shared various stories and even performed hula, which kept us entertained throughout the tour.
On the way back, I think all the participants were fast asleep! It was just what we needed to recharge a bit.
ハワイ旅行で絶対に体験したいアクティビティのひとつがドルフィンスイムでした。
朝イチのプランを選択したため、集合時間は6時前!時差ボケの影響が少ない旅の後半の日程に予約して、前日早めに寝たのが功を奏したのか、朝は比較的弱い夫婦ですがきちんと起きることができました。(楽しみだったから否応なしに目が覚めたのかも?)
大きなバスのお迎えが来て、早朝にもかかわらずスタッフの方も明るく出迎えていただきました。バスの中で英語での説明が終わった後日本語でも丁寧に説明してくださり、安心でした。
この日は20人ほどで、MAX40人の約半分。
港に到着し、いよいよ出港!最初に向かったポイントでは残念ながらイルカがいなかったようで、急遽違うポイントへ移動することに。そのため普段よりもボートでの移動時間が長くなり、その分シュノーケルの時間が短くなってしまいますと説明がありました。
次のポイントに到着し、ようやく海へダイブ!しばらく泳いでスタッフの方の合図でそちらのほうを向くと…たくさんのイルカが!!自分たちの下を横切っていくのがばっちり見えました。
2回目のダイブでも、たくさんのイルカが見れました。
その後のシュノーケル時間はやはり少し短かったようですが、魚やウミガメも見れて楽しめました。
ボートでの移動時間は長くなりましたが、船酔いするような人はいなかったようですし、移動の間もいろいろなお話をしてくださったり、フラを披露していただいたりと、ツアー中ずっと飽きずに楽しむことができてよかったです。
帰りのバスはたぶん参加者全員爆睡!ちょうど少し疲れもとることができよかったです。

Staff was very friendly and helpful. When we got to the location, was expecting a little more based on what I read on the site. While we did see a couple turtles, they were few and far between. Also not a lot of fish. There were scuba divers in the same spot which made it tricky.
Afterwards, they took us out for about 30 minutes which was great.
I know the snorkeling is sparse on Waikiki so everyone is going to the same spots. Something I wasn't used to.
Tip
Fins are a must. They don't provide them.

I participated in early January. It was a cold time with rough waves, so I was worried about seasickness and the cold, but I’m really glad I referred to the reviews. I wore a long-sleeve hoodie and took motion sickness medication the day before.
Most of the women who participated looked very uncomfortable due to seasickness. It seems essential to take motion sickness medication. I was able to see dolphins and sea turtles! I was also lucky enough to witness a whale jump, which is unique to this season, and the cruise in nature was very healing. The hamburger was delicious too! There was also a hula show by the crew, making it a very satisfying activity!

I was in Hawaii for business but had a free morning. So I booked this trip as a solo traveler. I think I was the only solo person, everyone else were families. I felt a little odd b/c no one really talked to me, guides included. The guides were very good though - responsible and good intro speech. So happy that one of them found an octopus to touch (though I felt bad for the octopus). The turtles were adorable and came up to breathe very close to us snorkelers. Then we sailed around the bay for a bit which was lovely. I'm very happy I fit this excursion into my business trip.
I was a little unclear on tipping also - the fee said all gratuities included, so I didn't bring any cash. But the guides said to please feed the tip jar if satisfied. Which I was, but I hadn't planned on bringing cash to tip. So that was a little uncomfortable as I didn't want to look like I didn't enjoy myself - I truly did!

This tour was just above and beyond! Im not a beach person nor do I like swimming but this turtle snorkel just made me fall in love with the ocean. The captain and crew were great! They knew exactly how to keep everyone happy and safe! I see so many turtle, fishes and and octopus that the crew actually snatched and had us hold. I love this snorkel and will definitely be going back!

Great crew, great boat and lots of turtles. We were amazed how close to shore we were and how many turtles we saw. The turtles do not seem to be phased by the snorkelers and just hang around having their shells cleaned by the small reef fish. Fantastic to watch!
