I enjoyed the Snorkeling tour. It was my first time snorkeling and had the peace of mind that I would not miss anything and I was in good hands. Dan picked us up from the hotel and made us feel very welcome and gave us ideas on other activities to do around the area. Throughly enjoyed it!

Fantastic day!!!

Reviewed by: Lisa Macklem

This was just a terrific day from start to finish. We were picked up on time, and everything was exactly as advertised. We saw turtles, swam with the dolphins, and saw approximately 8 whales too! It was the first time snorkeling for both my husband and myself and the staff was terrific. Emmanuel picked us up and took care of us for the whole day. Our captain was terrific, making sure that we saw all those whales and had plenty of time for snorkeling with the dolphins and then over a wonderful coral reef. Photographer Justin was also terrific - making sure to get great pictures of everyone who wanted them. HIghly recommend this tour and company! Friendly AND professional!

It was a valuable experience! 貴重な体験でした！

Reviewed by: ちぃた

We wouldn't have been able to see the turtles on our own, so swimming alongside the turtles and schools of fish was a precious experience, and we were very satisfied with the snorkeling. Additionally, the photos taken in the ocean were beautiful, and I was moved again when I returned home! It was truly a wonderful bonus to have memories of the ocean in Hawaii captured in such a way. Thank you very much!

自分たちだけではカメに会うこともできなかったですし、カメや魚の大群と一緒に泳ぐなんて貴重な体験をできて、大満足のシュノーケリングでした。
また、海で撮って頂いた写真が綺麗で、帰ってまた改めて感動しました！ハワイでの海の思い出が形に残るなんて、本当に嬉しい特典でした。
ありがとうございました！

Departure before sunrise to West Oahu. The scenery was different from Waikiki and had its own charm! I was able to see the dolphins swimming directly below me on the second try! Unfortunately, I used a 2mm wetsuit for warmth, but it was still cold.

西オアフまで、日の出前の出発。初めて見る景色もWaikikiとは違った風情！イルカには、２回目のトライで真下に泳ぐ姿が見られました！残念だったのは、寒さ対策で、2mmのタッパーを使いましたが、寒かったです。

Absolutely sensational experience

Reviewed by: Trish Foxall

Wow, wow, wow. This was the experience of a lifetime for me and my family. We really hit the jackpot. Within minutes of leaving the harbor we came across some Humpback whales frolicking with some dolphins - this was breathtaking. We then swam with sea turtles and had an amazing experience with a pod of approximately 50 dolphins. I honestly believe we had luck on our side because we couldn't have asked for a more amazing experience. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable and made the tour even more enjoyable. I can honestly say this was the highlight of our holiday and would recommend this company to everyone.

Two years ago, I participated in a program at a junior high school and swam with dolphins. I wanted to experience that happiness again, so I joined this time. Unfortunately, I couldn't meet any dolphins, but I was moved to see whales and turtles. I even got to see the spouts of several whales from a distance! And as expected from a university, Mr. Takao's passionate lecture and the meaningful movements in the dance were rich in content, conveying a love for Hawaii that captivated me. Thank you very much. I would love to participate again! (*^^*)

2年前に中学の方で参加しイルカと泳ぎました。その時の幸せ感を味わいたく今回参加させていただきました。残念ながらイルカには会えなかったけれど、クジラや亀に会えて感動しました。少し遠くですがクジラの潮吹きもみられました。それも何頭も…！そしてさすが大学、Mr.Takaoの熱のこもった講義？や、ひとうひとつの動作に意味を感じるダンス等も内容が濃く、Hawaii愛が伝わり聴きいってしまいました。ありがとうございました。また、是非参加させていただきます(*^^*)

Wild Dolphin & Sea Turtle Snorkeling Cruise 野生のイルカ＆ウミガメ　シュノーケリング・クルーズ

Reviewed by: 華ちゃん

The guide who showed us around was enjoyable and great. We were able to see a sea turtle, even if just a little, and snorkeling was fun. Even though I'm not a strong swimmer, I felt safe participating. We went as a family, but my kindergarten-aged grandchild was shivering and crying because of the low temperature. I think it's important to choose the right season for small children.

案内してくださったガイドの方が楽しくてよかったです。ウミガメは少しだけですが見えたし、シュノーケリングも楽しく、泳ぎが得意ではない私も安心して参加できました。家族で行きましたが、幼稚園児の孫は気温が低く、寒さに震えて泣いてしまいました。小さな子どもには季節を選ぶ必要があると思いました。

I encountered dolphins and whales!! イルカやクジラと出会えました！！

Reviewed by: あんぱん

This was my first time in Hawaii for our honeymoon! We decided to join this tour because we wanted to see dolphins in the beautiful ocean. The day before, there was heavy rain, so I was worried about the weather, but it turned out to be clear skies. We took an early morning bus to the port, and when we boarded the boat, the staff warmly welcomed us. The staff maintained a cheerful atmosphere and treated us with care from start to finish. We traveled by boat for about 45 minutes, and during that time, we were able to see a whale spouting! (By the way, on the way back, we also saw its tail.)

As for the dolphins, I was a bit anxious that we might not encounter them since we were dealing with nature, but we were able to see them underwater! (Interestingly, it seems that there were no sightings for the three days leading up to our participation.) Although we didn't see them up close like in an aquarium, I was moved to encounter wild dolphins! After that, we split into activities and snorkeling. I experienced snorkeling, and I was able to see many fish up close as well. On the way back, we had a fun time dancing hula with the staff. It became a wonderful memory of our once-in-a-lifetime honeymoon!

今回ハネムーンで初めてハワイにやってきました！綺麗な海でイルカがみたいということでこのツアーへの参加を決めました。前日は大雨で果たして天気は大丈夫かなと心配しましたが快晴でした。早朝バスに乗って港へ着き、船に乗船するとスタッフが明るく迎えてくれました。スタッフの皆さんは最初から最後まで明るい雰囲気で丁寧にもてなしてくれます。45分くらい船で移動しましたがその途中でクジラの潮吹きもみるとこができました！（ちなみに帰りは尾びれもみることができました）
そして肝心のイルカですが、自然が相手なので出会えないかもと不安もありましたが、水中でも見ることできました！（ちなみに参加日までの3日間は出会えなかったみたいです）水族館みたいに近距離でみれたわけではありませんが野生のイルカに出会えたのには感動しました！その後はアクティビティとシュノーケルに分かれました。シュノーケルを体験しましたがこちらもたくさんの魚を真近で見ることができました。帰りにはスタッフさんとフラで盛り上がったりと楽しいひと時でした。たった一度のハネムーンの良い思い出になりました！

Time spent swimming with sea turtles. 海亀と泳いだ時間

Reviewed by: せいやんこ

Swimming with two sea turtles was amazing!
There were so many beautiful fish, and the scenery was fantastic.
I think it’s better to take motion sickness medication just in case you might get seasick.
Wearing a wetsuit provides buoyancy and keeps you warm, so I recommend borrowing one.
The tour guides were very kind, making it the best tour ever.
At first, when I was swimming away from my son, they helped bring me back to him, so thank you for that.
Holding hands with my son while swimming with the sea turtles became a lifelong memory. Also, when I got seasick, it was really reassuring to swim back to shore together.
Thank you very much.
It was the best tour. You should definitely try it!

海亀と2ひきもあえて最高だった(^^)(^^)
海亀と2回もあえて、最高でした。

最初、息子と離れて泳いでいたら、息子のところまで、連れて行ってくれてありがとうございました。

I was disappointed that I didn't see a single dolphin, let alone any while snorkeling. イルカとシュノーケルどころか一匹もみられずがっかり・・

Reviewed by: たんたん

In the distance, I could see what looked like the tail of a whale and the shadow of a sea turtle, but in the end, there were no dolphins at all.

Along the way, I snorkeled for about an hour, but I didn't see any fish in areas that weren't particularly beautiful, like the coral reefs. When I participated in snorkeling tours in other countries, I had experiences where I saw very beautiful coral reefs and tropical fish, so if we weren't going to see dolphins, I wished we could at least stop at a spot where we could expect to see more tropical fish. Just looking at the white sand underwater quickly bored my child, and when we returned to the boat, it was cold.

One positive point was that the staff were very cheerful, dancing the hula and letting us ride in canoes.

I understand that these things can happen when dealing with nature, but I was disappointed that I invested a whole day, starting with a 5 AM gathering, for such a rare day in Hawaii.

By the way, as an apology for the group that didn't see dolphins, they said the next participation fee would be discounted by $20. However, since there's no guarantee that the same thing won't happen again, I won't participate anymore.

はるかかなたにクジラのしっぽと海亀が泳ぐ影らしきものが見られたのですが、結局イルカは姿すらなかったです・・。

途中、1時間ほど、シュノーケルをしたのですが、サンゴ礁など特に綺麗でないところで、魚も見られず・・。他国でシュノーケルツアーに参加した際は
とてもきれいなサンゴ礁と熱帯魚が見られた経験があるので、イルカも見られないならば、せめてもっと熱帯魚などが期待できるスポットで停泊してくれてもと思いました・・。海中の白い砂をみるだけで子供もすぐ飽きて、すぐに舟にひきあげたら今度は寒いと・・。

一つ良かった点は、スタッフの皆さんがとても陽気で、フラダンスを踊ってくださったり、カヌーに乗せてくれたりしました。

自然相手なのでこういうこともあるかとは思うのですが、貴重なハワイの1日を朝5時代に集合して一日投資したのにと残念でした。

ちなみに、イルカを見れなかったグループへのおわびとしては、次回参加代金が20ドルにディスカウントされるのだそうです。
同じことが2度ないとも限らないので、もう参加はしませんが。

I participated with my 6-year-old child, but swimming with the dolphins was quite a challenge, so my spouse and I took turns. The activity slide looked fun, and it was great to see everyone enjoying it.

It was mid-December, and I heard it was cold even with a wetsuit, so I brought a winter rash guard just in case and wore diving shorts underneath, which kept me warm.

We were able to see about 10 dolphins up close! During snorkeling, we encountered about 3 dolphins, and I was very satisfied! I was also glad to see a sea turtle from the boat.

I think it can depend on the weather, but unlike other tours, it was great to have an eco-friendly and authentic experience. Thank you!

Reviewed by: さっちん

I wanted to swim with dolphins. It was my husband's long-time wish, so we joined this tour. We gathered at 5:30 in the morning, which marked the start of a cold day. Even though it was Hawaii, December was chilly. After arriving at the port, we set sail. We borrowed wetsuits and got into the water. The waves were high, and the sea was murky; occasionally, we could see the dolphins' fins, but not clearly. During that time, I ended up drinking water multiple times and was coughing (-_-;) I got back on the boat once to search for where the dolphins were and moved to a different spot. However, when I got in the water for the second time, I was shivering too much from the cold and had no choice but to give up. My husband went in. He encountered the dolphins and said he was able to swim with them a little, which made him happy, but I was still struggling with the cold and just wanted to go back. I had that feeling the whole time... I want to try again during a warmer season instead of winter.

イルカと一緒に泳ぎたい。主人の昔からの願いでしたので、このツアーに参加しました。朝、5:30に集合だったので、そこから寒い一日がスタートしました。ハワイとはいえ、12月は寒かった。港について、出港。ウェットスーツを借りて、水の中に入りました。波も高く、海も濁っていて、たまに、イルカの背びれが見え隠れしていましたが、はっきりとは見えず。その間に、何度も水を飲んでしまい、ゲホゲホ(-_-;)　一度船に上がり、イルカのいる場所を探し移動。そして、二度目の入水の時には、ガタガタと寒すぎて震えがきて、どうしようもなく、私は断念。主人は中に入りました。イルカ達がいるところに遭遇し、若干一緒に泳げたそうで、主人はよかったといっていましたが、私はその後も寒さとの葛藤で、早く帰りたい。そんな思いがずっとありまして、、、
冬ではなく、今度は暖かい時期にもう一度チャレンジしたいと思います。

You cannot swim with dolphins. ※イルカと一緒には泳げません

Reviewed by: じゃっぷ

Before moving to Waianae Harbor, there was an explanation (in English and Japanese), and I signed a consent form on an iPad. There was enough time to take a nap during the transfer.

The reason I booked this tour was because it was described as "a healing tour to swim with wild dolphins in the sea!" However, in reality, diving was prohibited. It was more of a dolphin watching experience while snorkeling. The life jackets were the type that hang around the neck and were mandatory (you could deflate them). On December 13th, the water quality was poor and murky, possibly due to high waves. The dolphins were mostly deep down and only faintly visible (the staff would say, "Look down!!"). They didn't come close at all, and it ended quickly. After that, we moved to the snorkeling point where we could enjoy SUP, sea kayaking, and a slide. However, the snorkeling point we went to had nothing. There were no corals, no turtles, and only a few fish were spotted. I later heard that the captain decides which snorkeling points to go to, but this was just too disappointing.

For lunch, we had a pre-made cheeseburger with taro buns wrapped in foil. The buns were a bit sweet, so preferences may vary. There were also chips. Drinks included free water and lemonade on board (on December 13th, there was warm tea, possibly because it was cold). There were also restrooms available. If you're worried about seasickness, it's better to take something (three people vomited and were down). On the way back to the harbor, there was hula and ukulele performance, and the staff's effort to entertain was nice. Some people bought a USB with photos and videos during the ride, as there was a $5 discount, but it's important to think carefully about whether you'll see dolphins, whether you might get seasick, or whether the weather might prevent you from getting good photos before purchasing in advance. The eco bags were probably only for those who purchased the USB. I didn't receive anything. Honestly, I didn't feel that the service was worth the tour fee of $156.

I understand that it's wild and natural, but I was disappointed by the discrepancies between the description and the actual experience.

ワイアナエハーバーに移動するまでに説明(英語&日本語)があり、ipadで同意書？に記入します。移動には仮眠できるほどの時間があります。
今回こちらのツアーを予約したのは説明文にある＂海で野生のイルカと一緒に泳ぐ癒しのツアー！＂と記載されていたからです。実際は潜る潜水行為禁止。イルカウォッチングをシュノーケルしながらの形になります。ライフジャケットは首からさげるタイプで着用義務(エアーは抜くことができます)。12/13は波が高かったのもあるのか水質は悪く濁っていました。イルカはずっと下の方に居てうっすらと見える程度(スタッフが＂Look down!!＂と教えてくれます)。近くに寄って来てくれることもなく。あっという間に終了。その後シュノーケルポイントに移動しSUPやシーカヤック、滑り台などを楽しめます。しかし、行ったシュノーケルポイントはなんにもない所でした。珊瑚もなければ亀は居ない、魚は数匹みかけた程度。後から聞いた話ではいくつかあるシュノーケルポイントをキャプテンの判断で決めるそうですが、これが、あまりに酷すぎでした。その後お昼ご飯は事前に作られホイルで包まれたタロイモのバンズでできたチーズバーガー。バンズは少し甘めで好みがあると思います。おまけにチップス。飲み物は船内に自由に飲めるお水とレモネードがあります(12/13は寒かった為か暖かいお茶もありました)。トイレも完備されています。船酔いを心配されている方は飲んだ方がいいです(3名嘔吐してダウンしてました)。ハーバーまでの帰り道にフラやウクレレ演奏があり、スタッフの楽しませようとしてくれる雰囲気は良かったです。行きの車内で写真と動画のUSBを購入すると$5割引になる為購入している方がいましたが、イルカに会えるかもわからない、船酔いしてダウンするかもしれない、天気が悪く良い写真が撮れていないかもしれない事をよく考えた上で事前購入しましょう。エコバッグはおそらくUSB購入者だけです。何ももらえませんでした。正直私はツアー代金$156の見合ったサービスを受けられたとは思いませんでした。
野生と自然相手なので仕方ないですが、説明文と食い違う内容にはがっかりしました。

We had very exciting time. We were kind of scared since that was our first time and we are not good swimmers. But it was very safe and we enjoyed very much. Chieko and Dan, they are very professional and they led us to a sea turtle!
We definitely are coming back again!

snorkeling シュノーケリング

Reviewed by: ゆんちゃま

It had rained, so the waves were high and the sea was murky, but I was glad to meet a sea turtle! Next time, I want to go when the weather is nice!

雨が降った後だったので波も高く海が濁っていたのですが、ウミガメに会えて良かったです！
次は天気のいい時にやりたいです！

First snorkeling 初シュノーケリング

Reviewed by: すーさん

I've been curious about Heaven's Sea for a long time, and I finally participated. It was a chilly day, making me hesitant to wear a swimsuit, but they provided all participants with wetsuits for free.

When I was asked to sign a waiver on the bus, I felt a bit anxious, but upon arriving at the dock and receiving the pre-tour briefing, a fun-loving local man from Okinawa eased my nerves with his reassuring words.

The captain and all the staff were women, and the tour was kind, thorough, and enjoyable while ensuring safety.

After enjoying a walk in the shallow sea, we had a snorkeling lesson. I even got to see a sea turtle. At one point, I cramped up, but the staff quickly came to my aid. Thank you very much.

The delicious snacks and lunch were also greatly appreciated. I plan to join again in the summer!

天国の海、ずーっと前から気になっていて、やっと参加しました。この時期は肌寒く、水着になるのもためらう日でしたが、参加者全員にウェットスーツを無料で貸してくれました。

バスの中で誓約書を書かされた時は不安になりましたが、船着き場に到着していざ事前の説明を受けると楽しい沖縄人の男性の方が緊張を和らげてくれる言い回しで安心しました。

船長もスタッフも全員女性の方で、親切丁寧、そして楽しく安全なツアーでした。

浅い海でウォーキングを楽しんだ後、シュノーケリングレッスン。海ガメも見れました。途中、私は足がつってしまいましたが、すぐ、スタッフの方が助けてくれました。ありがとうございました。

おいしい軽食、昼食もごちそうさまでした。
今度は、夏に参加します！

December is a bit cool. 12月は少し涼しい(o_o)

Reviewed by: アロハケ

I participated in December! As expected, it’s a bit cool in Hawaii during winter! I would love to take photos in my swimsuit, but I think it’s best to rent a wetsuit to avoid catching a cold! Especially when the tide is high, the water level can reach up to your waist, so it might be different from the photo you have in mind (^_^;) If you really want to achieve the photo image, I think you should aim to book on a low tide day ^_^ However, the staff members are very friendly and kind, so you can definitely have a great time! I think having reef shoes will make it more comfortable to play!

12月に参加しました！やはりHawaiiも冬なので少し涼しいです！水着姿で写真に残したい感じはありますが…風邪をひかない為にもウエットスーツを借りて楽しんだ方がベストだと思いました！特にタイドがハイの場合は腰近くまで水位があるので、写真のイメージとは異なると思います(^_^;)
本当に写真のイメージで行きたいならロータイドの日を狙って予約するしかないと思います^_^
ただ、スタッフの方々はとても気さくで優しいので楽しめる事は間違いないです！
リーフシューズは有ると安心して遊べると思います！
