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>

It was the best moment! 最高のひとときでした!

Reviewed by: keiko

It was early in the morning, but everything was so enjoyable that I forgot about my sleepiness! The staff were friendly and seemed to prioritize making everyone have a good time, which impressed me.

Seeing wild dolphins up close and being able to enter the sea with them was like a dream come true. The hula was also fun!

Thank you!

朝早くからでしたが
全てが楽しくて眠気なんか忘れるほどでした!
スタッフのかたも気さくでみんなを楽しませる
ことを1番に考えているのだなと感心しました。

野生のイルカを生で見ることができ、一緒の海に入ることができたのは夢のような時間でした。
フラも楽しかったです!

ありがとう!

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

Great Snorkel Adventure

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

YOU DO SEE TURTLES! Amazing experience- we saw 5 large sea turtles at the cleaning station. We had a large one come up for air literally right in front of us- I could have reached out and touched it! We also saw dolphins and several large fish. If you want to see turtles, this is the snorkel for you... If you're looking for a close-up of tropical fish - go to a different site. Cruise is very comfortable and a great view of the Waikiki beach front.

It was fun. 楽しかったです

Reviewed by: march

It was a bit early to gather before 6 AM, but I was glad to experience the refreshing Hawaiian morning. The tour included a lot of activities such as searching for dolphins, snorkeling, BBQ, and hula lessons. The crew was very enjoyable, and I made great memories. However, I felt it was more about observing the dolphins rather than swimming with them, so I wish there had been an option to choose life jackets according to our comfort level. Also, it would have been even better if we had a bit more time for snorkeling.

朝は6時前に集合のため少し早起きですが、
すがすがしいハワイの朝を体験することができよかったです。ツアー内容もイルカを探し、シュノーケリング、BBQやフラレッスンと盛りだくさんでした。
クルーの方々もとても楽しく、よい思い出ができました。
ただ、イルカと泳ぐというより観察する感じだったので、レベルに合わせてライフジャケットの着用を選べたりすればよかったなぁと思うのと、シュノーケリングの時間をもう少しとってもらえたら、尚よかったかなと思いました。

I had a valuable experience. 貴重な体験ができました。

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

This was my first time participating in a dolphin tour. The weather wasn't great, but I had a lot of fun meeting many wild dolphins. I was able to see dolphins both in the water and from the boat, including some that jumped like in a show. Surprisingly, I also saw a whale, which I thought was too early for this time of year. I can only say I was lucky.

During the snorkeling at a different spot, I encountered many fish, turtles, and even stingrays. I didn't expect to see so many marine creatures, so I was excited the entire time I was snorkeling. I had heard that kayaking was an option, but I completely forgot about it. The guides were kind and made the experience enjoyable. I was surprised to see that they were all handsome.

I read experiences about severe seasickness, so I made sure to take medication before participating, which helped me avoid getting sick. It was cold when I got out of the water, so it's better to have a jacket.

今回初めてイルカツアーに参加しました。
天気はイマイチでしたが、たくさんの野生のイルカたちに会うことができてとても楽しかったです。
イルカは海の中でも船の上からでも見ることができました。
ショーのようにジャンプするイルカも。
そしてなんとこの時期にはまだ早いと思うのですがクジラもみれました。これは運が良かったとしかいえないです。
ポイントを変えてのシュノーケルではたくさんのお魚とカメ、そしてエイにも会いました。
こんなにたくさんの海の仲間に会えるとは思っていなかったのでシュノーケルの間は興奮しっぱなし、
カヤックもできると聞いていたのですがすっかり忘れてました。
ガイドの皆さんも親切で楽しませてくれてました。
イケメンぞろいでびっくりです。

船酔いが大変だったという体験談を読みしっかりと薬を飲んで参加しましたので酔うことはなかったです。
海から上がると寒かったので上着はあったほうがよいですね。

The best 最高

The day before, I participated in an activity with another company and it was a disappointment, so I thought about canceling. However... it was way beyond my expectations and absolutely amazing!!

I had to wait 30 minutes because they didn't show up at the meeting time (laughs), but the guide was really nice and it was a lot of fun. The captain and all the staff were also entertaining. They danced on the boat, and the hamburgers were delicious, plus we had pineapple and taro!? We got to see sea turtles and dolphins, which was fantastic, and the half-day went by in no time. After getting back on land, I learned hula from a hula teacher, which was a great experience.

This is definitely worth participating in!!!

前日にほかの会社のアクティビティーに参加してはずれだったので、前日にキャンセルしようかと思いましたが。。。
全然、期待以上に最高でした!!

朝待ち合わせ時間にこなくて30分待たされましたが(笑)

It was fun, but... 楽しかったけど・・・

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

The staff was very accommodating, and overall, I had a good time. However, the main focus of this tour was supposed to be "swimming with dolphins." The time spent seeing dolphins in the water was surprisingly short, just a few seconds, and they were quite far away. I thought there would be more to it, but I was quickly told to return to the boat, and then we moved on to a spot with turtles and tropical fish. During the transfer, I saw another company snorkeling very close to dolphins jumping, and I was really envious. They must have noticed the short time we had with the dolphins, as we went back to the dolphin point at the end, where we could see them from the boat. However, if the tour is just about seeing dolphins, there are cheaper options available. I hate to be repetitive, but "swimming with dolphins" was the reason I joined this tour... I understand that they are wild animals, but I wish we had been taken to another dolphin point instead of the turtle point after the first stop.

スタッフの方の対応もよく、全体的には楽しめました。
が・・・このツアーのメインは“イルカと泳ぐ”のはず。海の中でイルカを見られたのは驚くほど短く、ほんの数秒。しかもかなり遠い。まさかそれで終わりではないだろうと思っていたのに、すぐに船に戻れと言われ、その後はカメや熱帯魚のいるポイントへ。移動中、別の会社がイルカのジャンプしているすぐ近くでスノーケルしているのが見えて、とってもうらやましかったです。さすがにメインのイルカの時間の短さを気にして下さったのか、最後に再度イルカのポイントへ行き、船の上からイルカを見ることはできましたが、イルカを見るだけのツアーならもっと安いツアーがあります。しつこいようですが、“イルカと泳ぐ”がこのツアーに参加した目的だったのに・・・
野生の生き物なのでしょうがないという気持ちもありますが、最初のポイントの後に、カメポイントではなく、別のイルカポイントに連れて行ってほしかったです。

Thank you for participating. We regret that you were unable to experience swimming closely with wild dolphins this time. Our captain assesses the sea conditions of the day and guides you to the best spots where wild dolphins are known to pass. However, please understand that, due to the nature of wild animals, the number of opportunities to swim with them and the distance to the dolphins can vary from day to day.

ご参加いただき有難うございます。このたびは水中で野生のイルカと間近で一緒に泳ぐ体験をしていただけなかったようで残念に思っております。船長がその日の海の状況を見て、野生のイルカがいるベストスポット(イルカの通り道)へご案内させていただくようにしておりますが、自然の生き物のため、日により一緒に泳げる回数やイルカとの距離は変化しておりますことご了承ください。

Packed tour 盛りだくさんツアー

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I participated with a friend.

First, the hula instructor teaches in a fun way. They also lend you props, so even those who are not feeling motivated will get excited (laughs).

Next, we went to the sea to meet dolphins! Although the time we spent swimming together was short, we were able to swim with dolphins and turtles! Even if you don't encounter dolphins, I think it's a tour that can still be enjoyed thanks to the various performances by the staff on the boat (including dance and jokes).

I definitely want to participate again♪

By the way, it gets quite cold after swimming, so don't forget to bring a jacket!!

友人と2人で参加しました。

最初にフラ、フラの先生が楽しく教えてくれます。
小道具も貸してもらえるので、気乗りがしない人でもテンションがあがりますよ(笑

次にイルカに会いに海へ!
間近で一緒に泳げた時間は少なかったのですが、イルカ&亀と泳ぐが出来ました!
最悪イルカと遭遇出来なくても、船上スタッフのいろいろなパフォーマンス(ダンスあり、ギャグあり)があるので、それなりに楽しめるツアーだと思います。

是非、また参加したいです♪

ちなみに、泳いだ後はかなり寒いので上着を忘れずに!!

I got to see both dolphins and sea turtles! イルカもウミガメも会えた!

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I confirmed my reservation in Waikiki, and it was fine to do so in Japanese. They even gave me a morning call early on the day of my arrival.

I participated alone, but both the crew and other guests were friendly, so I highly recommend it!

I took motion sickness medication before departure, and I didn't feel sick at all on the boat or in the pickup van, so it's a must for those who are worried about it. In fact, about two people got seasick on the boat and couldn't go snorkeling with the dolphins.

Since we were dealing with wild dolphins, I thought it would depend on luck, but a mother dolphin and her five calves swam slowly around us! It was a lucky day because the water was very clear!

We moved to another spot and snorkeled among about eight sea turtles! The taro bread hamburger for lunch was also quite delicious!

We were able to return to Waikiki by noon, so I highly recommend it!

ワイキキに到着してからリコンファームしましたが日本語でOKで、当日の朝早くに確認のモーニングコールくれました。
一人参加でしたが、クルーもお客さんも仲良く過ごせるのでオススメです!
出発前に酔い止めを飲んでおいたら、ボートの上でもピックアップのバンでも全然酔わなかったので、心配な方はマストです。
実際2人くらいボートで酔って、イルカシュノーケルできてませんでした。
野生のイルカ相手だから、運もあるだろうとおもってましたが、5頭のイルカの親子が私達の周りを本当にゆっくり泳いでくれました!その日は水も透明度の高い日だったのでラッキーでした!
ポイント移動して、ウミガメが8頭くらいいる中でシュノーケルしました!
ランチのタロイモブレッドのハンバーガーもなかなか美味しかったです!
昼にはワイキキに戻ってこれたので、オススメです!

I participated at five months pregnant, of course, at my own risk.

At first, I signed up for the first session, but since it was fully booked, I was recommended to join the second session, which was also nearly full in the shuttle van. It seems to be quite popular. During the ride, a DVD was playing, but few people were watching, as most were sleeping.

When we arrived at the location, we borrowed costumes and danced in a nearby field since we were going to do hula dancing first. It was over in no time, but the explanations were clear and it was fun.

Up until this point, everyone, including the others, was energetic.

We boarded the boat and arrived at the dolphin point, but there were several other boats waiting, and we had to wait patiently for our turn. During that time, we saw a few pods of dolphins. They were spinning, and there were baby dolphins too. We waited for the guide's instructions before entering the water, but the pod quickly disappeared. We saw them several times from the boat, but only caught a glimpse of them in the water.

After that, we headed to the snorkeling point, but by this time, some people started to feel seasick. I had a bad feeling too, but I thought it would be better to snorkel than stay on the boat. Following the guide, we discovered a sea turtle, and I was thrilled to see a wild sea turtle. The fish were swimming gracefully, which was also amazing.

However, perhaps due to the worsening weather, I started to feel cold. I swam until I reached my limit but got back on the boat early, and afterwards, I curled up due to seasickness and the cold. More than half of the people around me, who had been energetic just moments ago, seemed to be feeling sick as well, and we took our handmade hamburgers and chips to go. When we got off the boat, it was really strange, but my seasickness suddenly disappeared, and I was munching on a hamburger in the car, while my husband looked really miserable, haha.

I didn't get to fulfill my dream of swimming with dolphins, but overall, it was a good experience. Motion sickness medication is a must.

妊娠5ヶ月での参加でした。勿論自己責任。

最初、一部を申し込んだのですが、満席の為二部を勧められそちらに参加しましたが、二部も送迎のバン?はほぼ満席状態でした。人気なのでしょう。
行きの社内でDVDが流れていましたが、見ている人は少なく、皆寝ていました。
現地に着くと、先にフラダンスをやるという事で傍の原っぱにて衣装を借りて皆で踊りました。あっという間でしたが説明もわかりやすく楽しかったです。

他の方達含め、元気が良いのはここまでです。

船に乗り、イルカポイントに到着するも他の船も何隻か待っていて自分達の番が来るのをひたすら待ちました。その間に何回かイルカの群れを見ました。スピンもしていたし、子供イルカも居ました。
ガイドさんの指示を待って海に入りましたが、群れはあっという間に行ってしまいました。船上では何度も見れましたが、海の中では一瞬見れただけでした。
この後、今度はシュノーケルポイントに向かいましたが、この辺りで船酔いする人が出てきて、自分もちょっと嫌な予感はしましたが、船上に居るよりは良いと思いシュノーケルしました。ガイドさんについていくとウミガメを発見、野生のウミガメには感動しました。魚も悠々と泳いでいて感動です。
しかし、雲行きがあまり良くなかったせいか体が冷えてきて、限界まで泳ぎましたが早めに船に上がり、その後は襲ってきた船酔いと寒さでずっとうずくまっていました。
さっきまで元気だった周りの方達も半分以上酔っていたようで、手作りハンバーガーもチップスもお持ち帰りしました。船を下りると、本当に不思議なことにケロっと船酔いが治り私は車内でハンバーガーを頬張っていましたが旦那さんは本当に辛そうでした 笑
イルカと泳ぐ夢は叶いませんでしたが、全体的に良い体験でした。 酔い止め必須です。

Last time, I signed up for a different tour, but I was just desperately swimming after dolphins and hardly saw any. With Dolphin You, the captain predicts the dolphins' movements and takes you to the right spots, so I was able to see the pods without chasing them around. Also, the life vests allow you to adjust the air yourself, so those confident in swimming can dive, which made it a lot of fun. My 8-year-old daughter, who is good at swimming, was crying because she wanted to use an adult vest instead of a child-sized one, and Shanti kindly comforted her and switched it to an adult vest. I was very satisfied as I was able to see many dolphins during all three tries. At the turtle point, we were allowed to snorkel slowly, and I was able to swim with 4 to 5 turtles for a long time. This tour is truly filled with consideration for making guests enjoy themselves, and I was moved by that. It was completely different from the previous dolphin tour and other tours, as I always felt that they prioritized the guests. The hamburgers were delicious, and trying hula dancing turned out to be surprisingly fun. If I want to encounter dolphins again next time, I will choose this tour. Thank you, Shanti, Kaina, Ila, and Steve!!

前回は別のツアーに申し込んだのですが、イルカを追いかけて必死に泳いでいるだけで、ほとんど姿をみられませんでした。ドルフィンユーの場合は、キャプテンがイルカの動きを予測してポイントに落としてくれるので、追いかけ回すことなくイルカの群れを見ることが出来ました。また、ライフベストも自分で空気の量を調整できるため、泳ぎに自信のある人は潜ったりすることも出来るので、とても楽しめました。泳ぎの得意な8歳の娘が子供用のベストでなく、大人用のものを使いたいと泣いていたところ、シャンティが優しく慰めてくれ、大人用のベストに替えてくれました。3回のトライすべてでたくさんのイルカを見ることが出来て大満足でした。ウミガメのポイントでもゆっくりとシュノーケルをさせてくれたので、4~5匹のウミガメとずっと泳いでいられました。このツアーは、本当にゲストを楽しませようという心遣いに溢れており、感激しました。前回のイルカツアーや、別のツアーとは全く違い、ゲストのことを第一に考えてくれていることを常に感じていました。ハンバーガーも美味しかったし、フラダンスもやってみると意外と楽しかったです。次回もイルカに遭いたくなったらこのツアーで行きます。シャンティ・カイナ・イラ・スティーブ、みんなありがとうね!!

Snorkeling included is the best! シュノーケリング付き最高!

Reviewed by: S&J from 湘南

Sailing off Waikiki at an incredible speed was refreshing! It was also great to enjoy snorkeling.

I was told, "The turtles are used to people and won't be scared to come close, but don't touch them," but I never expected they would come so close... There were always 3 to 4 turtles swimming nearby, and when they surfaced for air, they were so close that I could almost touch them—they're really big.

The sailing speed was fast, and it was quite bumpy, but as long as I looked out at the distance and enjoyed the wind, it was fine. I'm glad I chose one that fit my needs among the various catamaran sailing options. There were no other Japanese people, but I didn't feel particularly worried about that.

すごいスピードでワイキキ沖を爽快セイリング!シュノーケリングも楽しめてとても良かったです。
『カメは人になれてて怖がらないで近くにくるけど触っちゃダメ』と言ってたけど、あんなに近づいてくるとは思わなかった・・・。3~4匹のカメが常に近くをまわってたし、息継ぎに浮き上がってくると触れるくらい近くとにかくデカイ。
帆走スピードが速くて、結構揺れたけど、遠くをみるようにして風に当たって楽しく参加したら大丈夫でした。
いろんなカタマランセイリングがある中から、自分のニーズにあったのを選んでよかったです。日本人は誰もいなかったけど特に心配もないし。

GREAT DOLPHIN WATCH CRUISE!!!

We seen so many dolphins and we were even fortunate enough to see Bottlenose Dolphins which are much much bigger than the frequent spinner dolphins. Bottlenose Dolphins do not come around the islands very often so this was a real treat, maybe even a once in a lifetime opportunity!!

The crew was very friendly and they held my sister's hand in the water because she is afraid of sea animals. But ONCE she put her mask on and placed her head under the water, it was a whole different world for her filled with beautiful colored fish and a huge reef system that surrounded her.

Wonderful crew, Tasty food, everyone on-board was really friendly and after a nice dip out in the deep blue ocean, you are treated to an open bar. Great Stuff! Thank you Hawaiiactivities.com and Ocean Joy Cruises for a wonderful dolphin watch and cruise!

I've been on other snorkeling cruises but was REALLY IMPRESSED with the boat and the crew. The boat was very clean, open and comfortable. Having great his and her bathrooms was a nice plus as well. The crew were fun, informative and professional. They make you feel very comfortable and taken care of. Swimming with the turtles was a total treat. There's a crew member in the water with you the entire time and they are not only looking out for your safety but are answering questions about the fish, turtles and the total area. In addition, they are educating you so you really "swim" away knowing more than when you came. The sailing portion was really relaxing and peaceful. It's great to see Waikiki & Diamond Head Crater from the water and being able to leave on this trip from the Hilton is a real plus. Even the food and snacks were good. I would definitely recommend this trip.

My dream has come true! 夢がかないました!

Reviewed by: YOKO

Swimming with wild dolphins in the ocean has been a dream of mine for many years. I thought it would be difficult, so I participated with the expectation of being lucky to catch even a glimpse. However! Not only did I see them, but from the boat, I witnessed dolphins jumping, and once in the water, there were pods of dolphins coming one after another! I could even hear their cute sounds, and it was truly moving.

Additionally, all the staff were cheerful, and I believe it would have been a fun tour even if we hadn't seen any dolphins. After getting off the boat, we had a hula lesson in a cool shade, which also became a heartwarming and enjoyable memory. I definitely want to participate again the next time I go to Hawaii.

野生のイルカと海で一緒に泳ぐのが長年の夢でした。
でも難しいだろうから、『ちらっとでも見れたらラッキーだな』ぐらいの期待で参加したのです。
ところが!ちらっとどころか、ボート上からはイルカたちのジャンプが、海に入ればイルカの群れが次から次へと!!かわいい鳴き声も聞こえ、もう感動でした。
また、スタッフも皆陽気で、もしイルカが見れなかったとしても楽しいツアーになったと思います。
ボートを降りた後は涼しい木陰でフラレッスン、こちらも心癒される楽しい思い出となりました。
今度ハワイに行ったときにも是非参加したいです。

It was fun. 楽しかった

I was picked up from the hotel where I was staying, passed by the "What Tree Is That?" tree, and arrived at the port. After a bathroom break, we boarded the boat. Before reaching the dolphin point, we were lucky enough to see a rare whale at the end of April. We snorkeled at the dolphin point. When we were told to "look down," we saw many dolphins! The underwater world, illuminated by sunlight, was beautiful.

My 4-year-old child was indeed scared of the ocean, but the staff helped by putting them on a kayak, and they seemed to have a great time.

The hula dance while feeling the wind was also enjoyable, and the CD of the photos I purchased turned out to be excellent. I brought an underwater camera, but I couldn't compete with the professionals.

Since it was April, I was glad I brought a hoodie.

宿泊してたホテルまで迎えにきてもらい、この木なんの木の横を通過し、港に到着。トイレタイムの後船に乗り込みます。イルカポイントに着く前に4月末には珍しい鯨に会えました。イルカポイントでシュノーケル。look downと言われ海の中を見るとイルカがたくさん!日の光が注ぐ海の中は綺麗でした。
4歳の子どもは、やはり海を恐がりましたが、スタッフがカヤックに乗せてくれて、楽しそうでした。

風を感じてのフラダンスも楽しかったし、購入した写真のCDも、申し分なく出来上がりの良いものでした。私も水中カメラを持って行きましたが、プロには敵わないです。

時期が4月ということもあり、パーカーを持って行って正解でした。

A day experiencing Hawaii! 一日でHawaii体験\^0^/

Reviewed by: ぶぶぶ

It was my first experience with snorkeling!

Even though I wore a life jacket, it was quite challenging for me, who can't swim, to get used to using the fins ^^;

However, they assessed how well each participant could swim at the beginning and provided support, so I was able to swim with peace of mind ;)

The water wasn't as clear as in photos or stories, so I couldn't see the dolphins clearly underwater or swim with them, but I could hear their voices! ((@0@) From the boat, I was able to see several mother-dolphin pairs and groups☆

The captain and crew were incredibly kind, and the hamburgers were delicious ♥ When I was on the kayak, I got to see a sea turtle up close, which was truly moving (:_; )

And above all...

The ocean was so beautiful!!!!

I forgot everything and felt so relaxed ´ω`

The final hula experience was also a lot of fun *^'*b

I think anyone, whether friends, couples, or families, will definitely enjoy it!!

I highly recommend it for those who want to experience Hawaii in just one day\^0^/

シュノーケリング初体験でした!

ライフジャケットを着用していたものの、
泳げない私はフィンの使い方に
慣れるまでなかなか大変でした^^;

でも最初にどのくらい泳げるか
参加者の状態を把握して
フォローしてくれたので
安心して泳げました;)

海はそれほど透き通ってなかったので、
写真や体験談のように
水中でイルカをハッキリ見たり、
一緒に泳ぐことはできませんでしたが、
声が聞こえましたよっ((@0@
船上からは何頭もの親子や群れを
見ることができました☆

キャプテンやクルーの皆さんは
とーっても優しいし、
ハンバーガーはおいしいし♥
カヤックに乗った時には
ウミガメを間近で見られて
本当に感動しました(:__;)

そして何より…

海がキレ~~~イ!!!!

何もかも忘れて
癒してもらいました´ω`

最後のフラ体験も
とっても楽しかったです*^'*b

Winter sea 冬の海

Reviewed by: 小春

I participated in an early morning cruise. When it comes to the winter sea, it's all about whales. I was torn between a whale tour and this one, but I decided to take a chance on the winter sea and chose this tour.

Although it was a dolphin tour, we stopped at a point where we could see whales at the beginning of the cruise, and I was able to see my long-awaited whales. I was also satisfied to see a mother and baby whale!

Then, we encountered many dolphins, and just when I thought we found one, a group of a dozen dolphins appeared, which was so exciting! The snorkeling afterward was also great, as I saw a lot of fish.

I'm not a strong swimmer, but thanks to the life jacket, I was able to snorkel with peace of mind. This time, there were three generations participating, from 0 to 71 years old, and my 3-year-old son enjoyed snorkeling, while my in-laws also had a great time on the cruise and snorkeling.

There was a staff member who was fluent in Japanese, which was reassuring. I couldn't eat lunch on the boat due to a bit of seasickness, but the staff kindly packaged it for me to take home. I ate it at the hotel after returning, and it was light and delicious.

早起きクルーズに参加しました。
冬の海といえばクジラ。クジラツアーと悩んだのですが、
冬の海に賭けて、こちらのツアーを選択しました。
イルカツアーでしたが、クルーズのはじめはクジラが見えるポイントへも寄ってくれて、念願のクジラを見ることができました。親子クジラにもあえて満足!
そして、本題のイルカにもたくさんあえました。1頭見つけたと思ったら十数頭のイルカの群が現れて大興奮!
その後のシュノーケリングもお魚がたくさんみえました。
私はカナヅチなのですが、ライフジャケットのお陰で安心してシュノーケリングできました。
今回三世代で0歳~71歳の参加でしたが、3歳の息子もシュノーケリングを楽しみ、義両親もクルーズ&シュノーケリングを楽しんでいました。
スタッフは日本語の堪能な方がいて安心できました。
昼食はちょっと船酔いのため船内で食べられなかったのですが、スタッフのかたが配慮くださり、お持ち帰り用にまとめてくださいました。帰宅後にホテルで食べたのですがあっさりしていて美味しかったです。

I was able to see a lot of dolphins! Dolphinいっぱい見れました!

Reviewed by: makko

The tour guide was a wonderful Japanese lady who was very kind.

It was a lucky day; I was able to swim with dolphins (although they were a bit far away), see whales, and swim very close to turtles.

On the way back, I was thrilled to see a larger dolphin that rarely appears!

The lunch burger was really delicious, and those who wanted to could also enjoy kayaking, making for a very fun experience.

The local guides and hula dance instructors were also very warm and wonderful people, creating great memories.

There were couples, solo travelers, and groups of two girls, among others.

The boat swayed a bit, so it's better to take motion sickness medication!

I highly recommend this tour!!

ツアーのガイドさんも日本人の素敵なお姉さんで、とても親切でよかった。

その日はラッキーデーで、イルカとも泳げたし(ちょっと遠かったけど)クジラも見れて、カメともとても近くで一緒に泳ぐことができました。

帰りがけにたまにしか現れない大きめのイルカも見ることができて感動!!

途中のランチのハンバーガーがとってもおいしかったり、カヤックも希望者は乗せてもらえてとても楽しく過ごすことができました。

現地のガイドサンやフラダンスの先生たちもとても温かく素敵な人で、いい思い出ができました。

カップル、一人旅、女の子二人組みいろいろな方がいました。

船は少し揺れるので酔い止め飲んでおいたほうがBETTER!

おススメのツアーです!!

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>

☆ I was deeply moved by the honu (sea turtle) ☆ ☆ ホヌに大感動 ☆

Reviewed by: うみぼうず

I participated in mid-November.

The day before, I went to take sunset photos while confirming the meeting place, and since the catamaran had just returned, I assumed this was the right spot. However, when I arrived on the day, the catamaran was gone, and I panicked. I asked a nearby hotel staff, and they said it was "five hotels down." Since I was cutting it close to the meeting time, I dashed over, and just as I did, the catamaran was coming towards the beach from offshore. (Sweat, sweat, sweat)
≪Refer to the sign in the photo for the meeting place...≫

I misunderstood because the hotel was part of the same group.
(The meeting place is in front of Outrigger Reef on the Beach, but I ended up at Outrigger Waikiki on the Beach. Please be careful.) Looking back, the catamaran that returned was also a different boat.

At the reception, there was one staff member who understood some Japanese (they had a Japanese reference book), but the other staff seemed not to understand Japanese.

Once on board, there was an explanation of precautions, all in English (which is to be expected).

About five minutes in, my wife got seasick. (I recommend taking seasickness medication for those who are prone to it.)
When we reached the turtle habitat point, snorkeling and free diving began (you can dive about 10 meters).
We stayed there for about an hour.
We encountered over ten turtles, which was incredibly moving.

After that, we cruised around the bay and were able to see Diamond Head and the hotel cluster from the sea, which was also impressive.

Next time, I would like to take the sunset cruise and see the sunset from the boat.

11月中旬に参加しました。

参加前日にサンセットの写真を撮りに行きながら集合場所の確認に行き丁度カタマランが帰って来たのでこの場所で良いと思い込み、当日を迎えてその場所に行くとカタマランが無く、焦ってしまい近くのホテルのスタッフに聞くと『5つ先のホテル』との事でした。
集合時間ギリギリだったのでダッシュして行くと沖合からカタマランがビーチに向かって来ました。(汗・汗・汗)
≪集合場所は、写真の看板を参考に・・・≫

ホテルが同じグループだったので勘違いしてしまいました。
(アウトリガー・リーフ・オン・ザ・ビーチ前が集合場所ですが、アウトリガー・ワイキキ・オン・ザ・ビーチ前に行ってしまいました。要注意して下さい。)
今、思うと帰って来たカタマランも違う船でした。

受付では、片言の日本語が解るスタッフ(日本語の参考書を持ってました。)が一人いましたが、その他のスタッフは日本語が解らない様子でした。

乗船してから注意事項等説明が有ります。すべて英語(当然ですよね。)

5分位で嫁さんは、船酔いでダウン。(船に弱い方は酔止め
の投薬をおすすめします。)
ホヌの生息ポインに着くとシュノーケリング・素潜り開始
(10m位潜れます。)
1時間位停泊していました。
10匹以上のホヌに遭遇し大感動でした。

その後、湾内のクルージングしてくれ海上からダイヤモンドヘッド、ホテル群を見る事が出来てこれも感動です。


次回は、サンセットクルーズに乗船し船上からのサンセットを見てみたいです。

2.5-Hour Spirit of Aloha Waikiki Turtle Snorkel Tour with Cocktails from Hilton

Not for beginning snorkelers

Reviewed by: humuhumunukunukuapua'a

I went on this tour with my friend, both of us have grown up around the water and have been snorkeling many times in Hawaii. On this tour, they take you to a snorkel spot called turtle canyon. However, turtle canyon is between 40 and 50 feet deep and your basically staring down at a reef that is so far down there are scuba divers below you AND it is not a secluded snorkeling spot but rather an open ocean spot far away from the shore of waikiki beach... like, past where the surfers are!
I found it to be a little scary and the "guide" kept swimming off leaving my friend and I to chase him and not guiding us at all. Once the word "sharks" was mentioned, i swam back to the boat (a 5minute swim back btw).
On another note, the sailing part was lovely and relaxing and we saw TONS OF DOLPHINS, the lunch was good as was the champagne and other drinks. The crew was great as well... except for the snorkel guide that kept leaving us to float alone in the middle of the ocean.
