As in the title we definitely saw turtles on the trip. I was however disappointed with an $89 each cost associated. We were picked up and driven to the marina which is at Waikiki and could have walked there quicker. We took the early 8 am tour which departed around 8:30 and minutes later we were in the water and swimming with the turtles which was great. Outside of the turtles there wasn't much more to see. After less than an hour of snorkeling I was told to get back on the boat to depart. Ten minutes later we were exiting the boat. There was no time to enjoy the "open bar" really at all, and it was only 9 am. For the money we should have at least got some extra time on the boat cruising around, maybe a loop back toward Pearl or something. I'm not saying don't do it but we saw just as many turtles off a rented stand up board on Waikiki for $25/hr. That said, the crew was great and really did try to get people going and excited.

In the sea with the best transparency, I was able to encounter a pod of nearly 150 dolphins. The dolphins didn't just swim past us quickly; they circled around us multiple times.
They swam so close that I could clearly see their eyes, rather than just appearing small in the distance. On the contrary, I was filled with surprise and emotion, wondering if it was really okay for them to come so close.
The staff also provided strict instructions for safety, but at the same time, they kept the atmosphere lively on the boat, allowing us to have a truly enjoyable time.
最高の透明度の海の中で
150頭近いイルカの群れに出会うことが出来ました。イルカの群れはさっと目の前を通り過ぎるのではなく、私たちのそばを何度も回遊してくれました。
ずっと遠くのほうに小さく見えるのではなく、はっきりと、イルカの瞳を確認できるほど、近くを泳いでくれました。
反対に、こんなに近づいてしまっていいのだろうかと思うほどで、驚きと感動でいっぱいになりました。
スタッフの方も、安全のために
厳しい言葉でしっかりと指示を出してくださいました。一方で船の上ではとても盛り上げてくださり、本当に楽しい時間を過ごすことが出来ました。

Absolutely wonderful experience!
We were picked up right on time, and it was a short drive to the harbour from our hotel in Waikiki. The staff were all very friendly, helpful and professional and the sail boat was spacious and clean. The snorkeling gear was good quality and generally fit well, although my mask leaked a little.
We saw our first turtle not long after getting in the water, and saw quite a few more thereafter. They came very close to us as they surfaced to breath, making for incredible photo opportunities.
This was an amazing experience and anyone visiting the island and considering this activity will not be disappointed!

One of the staff members was not Japanese, but they spoke Japanese very fluently and were friendly, which made me feel at ease. I was able to see both dolphins and sea turtles, but I couldn't get close enough to interact with the dolphins; I only saw a few of them from a distance, which was a bit disappointing (this might be due to the nature of the experience and timing). However, overall, I had a great time, enjoying lunch on the boat and snorkeling to see the sea turtles.
スタッフのうち一人は日本人ではなかったですが日本語がとても流暢で感じもよく安心できました。
イルカもウミガメも見れましたが、
イルカと触れ合えるほど近くでは見れず、遠くに数匹程度ずつ見えたという感じだったので(これは自然相手でタイミングなのかもしれませんが)少し残念でした。
ただ、そのほか全体通して、ランチでボート上でのランチやシュノーケリングでウミガメを見れたりなど楽しい時間をすごすことができました。

I had done dolphin watching before, but I had never swum with them, so I decided to participate. The dolphins were only there for a moment, but I was close enough to touch a sea turtle! It was so moving! I also tried stand-up paddleboarding for the first time, and even though I was wobbling, I managed to stand up and ended up playing until the very end while other groups returned to the boat. The energetic staff and photographer made the time fly by. When I asked people who have been to Hawaii, they mentioned that this experience is quite famous? I heard that it can be hard to make a reservation... I think I understand why it's so popular!
イルカウォッチングはした事はありましたが、一緒に泳ぐ!はした事がなかったので参加。イルカは一瞬でしたがウミガメは触れる距離に!感動でした!SUPも初めてやりましたがぐらぐらしながらも立て、他のグループが船に戻る中最後まで遊んでしまいました。テンション高いスタッフ、カメラマンであっという間の時間でした。ハワイに行った人に聞くと結構有名?予約取れなくて…という話も聞きました。人気の理由がわかった気がします!

On my first trip to Hawaii, I absolutely wanted to visit the heavenly sea. On the day of the trip, the weather was cloudy, and I couldn't see the beautiful ocean scenery I had hoped for, but by the time we went snorkeling, it cleared up, and I was so happy to swim in the crystal-clear water with sea turtles and fish. My husband is not a strong swimmer, so I was anxious about snorkeling alone, but the staff were kind and provided great guidance, allowing me to enjoy swimming. The snacks were also delicious. I definitely want to go again.
初めてのハワイ旅行、天国の海は絶対に行きたいと思っていました。当日天気は曇り空で期待していたような海の景色はなかなか見られませんでしたが、シュノーケリングをする時間には晴れてきて透き通るような海の中をウミガメや魚たちと泳ぐことができてとても嬉しかったです。主人は泳ぐのが苦手で、シュノーケリングは私一人の参加で不安でしたが、スタッフの方が優しく指導してくださって楽しく泳ぐことができました。軽食もおいしかったです。是非また行きたいと思います。

I'll start with the positive.
The crew is young and enthusiastic. Everyone had smiles and was helpful with the gear.
This is a great excursion for tourists and beginner snorkelers. Great vivews of the Eastern part of the island and a pleasant swim with sea life. The crew teaches everyone how to use the equipment and will help people in the water. They spend about 20 minutes at each site so, for experienced snorkelers, it can be a little dull.
The hotel pickup was on time and the driver was good. The van is new and the ride was smooth.
You will be visiting with Spinner Dolphins. They are small dolphin and swim in pods of 30. The captain knows their favorite spots and will make sure you get to swim with them. By law, you will need to be wearing a life jacket to do this part of the swim. We got to see two pods. It was delightful. This tour company was knowledgeable about dolphins and is conerned with their safety.
We stopped at two more snorkeling locations. The fist stop was a small cove and the second had turtles.
The lunch at the Spinner cafe was good. I had the breakfast burrito and it was tasty and well prepared. The menu is small but the portions are big. The pancakes looked really good.
The reason for my 3 stars is not the quality of the company but an incident I had. The crew should be better trained in basic fist aid. I ended up treating myself with the supplies I keep in my bag. After asking if I was okay, no one helped or checked on my for the rest of the trip.
I would recommend this for people visiting Ohau and beginner snorkelers.
Warm Aloha,
Thank you very much for taking the time to post about your experience. We are sorry to hear about your incident.

I made a reservation without checking the low tide schedule, and when I arrived, there was no sand, just water everywhere.
As for the snacks... the main wrap was too rich with cheese rolls and cream cheese, making it inedible.
However, I was glad to experience stand-up paddleboarding.
Next time, I will check the low tide and try again.

I was excited to see dolphins, and we were able to see a pod of wild dolphins not once, but twice! It was an emotional and joyful experience like nothing I had ever felt before! Swimming with turtles and fish was also a lot of fun!
On the boat, we enjoyed delicious hamburgers and snacks, and since we were a bit tired from traveling, we were able to take a nap at our own pace, which was great. They took many wonderful photos, and looking back at them brings back those joyful memories.

I found information that the tide would be at 0.5 feet around the time of arrival, but in reality, the water level was quite high, making it difficult with children. The tour had a fixed departure time, but I thought it would be great if there were options set for the sandbar that allowed for walking on the beach. I understand that it's nature, so guarantees can't be made...
The tour guide and the bus driver were all very nice, and they provided a pleasant experience from departure to disbanding. The staff on the boat were also very kind to the children, so I was extremely satisfied with the staff overall.
潮の満ちひきを調べたら到着時間頃は0.5フィートという情報があったのですが、実際は越下くらいまでと水面が高くて子連れではなかなか大変でした。出発時間が固定されているツアーでしたが、サンドバーを「砂浜として歩ける」時間で設定したものがあれば価値があがるのになと思いました。自然のことなので確約はできないんでしょうけど。。。

For our honeymoon, we went to Hawaii for the first time, and since it was a special occasion, I wanted to swim with dolphins to fulfill a long-held dream! So, I quickly enrolled in Dolphin School.
As we boarded the boat and chatted happily with my husband and Julie, we headed to the spot where the dolphins would appear, and to my amazement, there were already a stunning number of dolphins near the boat! Encountering them in the wild, with no guarantee they would show up, was truly moving. I was so happy, thanking the dolphin instructors—it was a fleeting yet wonderful experience.
After a break, we were taken to a snorkeling spot for another dive. We saw plenty of sea turtles and many fish! And above all, the view of the mountains surrounding the ocean was breathtaking! Swimming under the blue sky amidst such beautiful scenery is an experience I think is hard to come by.
On the boat, we sang and danced, soaking in the cheerful Hawaiian atmosphere, and I found myself laughing the whole time. I thought it would be great to enroll in Manta University as well! In the end, I even received a graduation certificate (laughs). Listening to Julie made me think about wanting to enjoy the work I want to do in the place I want to live!
新婚旅行で初めてのハワイ、
せっかくならイルカと泳いでみたい!と昔からの夢を叶える為に
早速イルカ中学に入学しました♪
船に乗ってパパさんやジュリさんや一緒に乗った方たちと楽しく話しながらイルカが出てくるスポットまで行くと、もう目を疑う程の数のイルカ達がすでに船の近くに来ていました♡♡
やはり大自然の野生相手、必ず来てくれるとの保証ももちろん無いなかでの遭遇は本当に感動です。
イルカ先生ありがとう〜‼︎って嬉しくて
あっという間の時間でした。
一休みした後はシュノーケリングスポットに連れてって貰ってもうひと潜り。
ウミガメもたくさんの魚たちも見れました♡
そして何より感動なのが、海を囲む山の景色が最高です!青空の下、素晴らしい景色の中で泳ぐ体験はなかなかできないと思います。
船の上でも歌ったり踊ったり
ハワイの陽気な雰囲気を感じながら
笑ってばかりの時間で、ぜひマンタ大学も入学してみたいなと思いました( ^ω^ )
最後はちゃんと卒業証書も頂いて(笑)
ジュリさんのお話を聞くと私も自分のやりたい仕事を住みたい場所で楽しみたいなと思いました!
ALOHA!! Thank you for participating in Dolphin Middle School! We are glad to hear that you enjoyed your time with Teacher Dolphin and Professor Turtle, as well as the stunning views of the West Coast. Please do visit us again at Dolphin Middle School and University when you come to Oahu, and at Dolphin High School and Manta University when you visit the Big Island! MAHALO!!
ALOHA!! この度はイルカ中学にご参加頂きありがとうございました! イルカ先生やカメ教授との時間や西海岸の絶景を心からお楽しみ頂けたようで幸いです。 また是非、オアフにいらした際はイルカ中学・大学に、ハワイ島にいらした際はイルカ高等学校・マンタ大学に遊びにいらしてくださいね! MAHALO!!

The weather was nice, and we were able to see a lot of turtles. While playing at the sandbar, a turtle swam by within about a meter of us, which was really lucky. Since we had a 5-year-old with us, we didn't go snorkeling and instead played in the shallow water. The captain and other staff members played with the kids and lent us stand-up paddleboards, floaties, and bodyboards, which made both the kids and adults very satisfied.
天候も良く、カメさんをたくさん見ることができました。
サンドバーで遊んでいると距離にして1メートルもないくらいをカメさんがスイスイ泳いでいて本当にラッキーでした。
5歳の子供もいたためシュノーケルには行かずに浅瀬で遊んでいると、キャプテンや他のスタッフの方が子供と一緒にあそんでくれたり、スタンダップパドル、うきわ、ボディボードを貸してくれて、子供も大人も大満足でした。
Aloha! Thank you very much for joining the Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour. It was amazing to have a turtle come so close to you! Your children must have been very excited as well. We hope that next time, your children can join us for snorkeling too! All of our staff sincerely look forward to your next visit.

This was my first overseas trip☆ I came to meet dolphins! I have dived many times in Okinawa, but this was my first time on such a fun tour! It seemed like the timing was perfect for seeing dolphins, as they came right up to my feet multiple times, and I was so moved ( ⸝⸝•௰•⸝⸝ ). And then! A sea turtle!! I was very surprised to see it swimming close enough to touch ('ロ' ). All the divers and the captain were funny and kind, and in the end, we all got to dance the hula together, which was so much fun!! I even got to meet a mermaid!? (laughs) Next time I come to Hawaii, I’ll definitely ask Dolphin University again ( ˆoˆ )/
初めての海外旅行☆イルカに会いたくて来ました!沖縄では何度もダイビングの経験はありますが、こんなに楽しいツアーは初めてでした!イルカが見れたのもとってもいいタイミングだったみたいで何度も足元に来てくれて感激でした( ⸝⸝•௰•⸝⸝ )そして!海亀ちゃん!!手が触れれる距離まで泳いでてとても驚きました('ロ' )ダイバーの皆さんも船長さんも皆さん面白くて優しくて最後はみんなでフラも踊れて楽しかったです!!マーメイドにも会えたし!?(笑)次ハワイに来た時もイルカ大学さんにお願いします( ˆoˆ )/

I wanted to go to Hanauma Bay with a different tour company than last time, but it seems that the two plans listed on Veltra are from the same tour company. There is no difference in the guide's content between the two plans (only differences in the included fees). I'm disappointed that the plan names are different but it's the same tour company.
The guide was friendly, but I wonder if it's just me who feels a bit frustrated by how Americanized it is...
There was someone who got seasick. Those who can't swim might feel scared as the waves can pull you in. It requires stamina since you'll be swimming for about an hour.
前回と違ったツアー会社でハナウマ湾に行きたかったのですが、ベルトラに掲載されている2つのプランは同じツアー会社のようです。2プランともガイド内容に差はありません(含まれる料金の違い)。プラン名が違うのに同じツアー会社でがっかり。。
ガイドの方は気さくな感じですが、アメリカナイズされすぎていて少しイライラしてしまうのは私だけなのか…。
波酔いしている方がいました。泳げない人は波に体をもっていかれて恐怖感を感じるかも? 1時間ほど泳ぐので体力いります。
Dear Banana Man, thank you for joining our tour. There are only a limited number of certified guides who speak Japanese at Hanauma Bay, which can sometimes lead to this situation. I sincerely apologize for any disappointment this may have caused. Moving forward, we will review our shortcomings to ensure that our customers have a more enjoyable experience. We look forward to seeing you again when you visit Hawaii. Thank you. Mahalo!
ばななまん様、この度はツアーにお越しいただきましてありがとうございます。日本語の話せるハナウマ湾の公認ガイドは限られた少ない人数のためにこうなることもございます。がっかりさせてしまい大変申し訳ございませんでした。今後はもっとお客様に楽しかったと言っていただけますように、悪い所は見直し、更に頑張ってゆきたいと思っております。どうぞまたハワイにお越しの際にはお会いできますことをお待ちしております。ありがとうございました。Mahalo!

This was my second time in Hawaii, and I visited Lanikai Beach for the first time! The ocean was incredibly beautiful and the clarity was amazing. I also climbed to the Pillbox, and although it was very tiring, I was able to enjoy the best views! I had plenty of time, so I was able to go into the city as well, and it was a lot of fun!
ハワイ二回目で初めてラニカイビーチに行きました!海はとても綺麗で透明度がやばかったです。
それにピルボックスに登り、とても疲れましたが最高の景色を堪能できました!
時間もたっぷりあったので市内にも行けて、とても楽しかったです!

Almost all participants were Japanese. The guide was also Japanese and very friendly, which was great. They offered GoPro rentals, and if you have a camera, they will take pictures for you. Since it was our honeymoon, having someone take photos of the two of us was appreciated. However, it's natural that those who borrowed a GoPro were prioritized for photos. We didn't rent one, but they still approached us to take pictures.
I recommend checking the sandbar's appearance based on the tide and time. By the way, I couldn't make a reservation for the morning of the day when the sea level drops below zero a week in advance.
参加者はほぼ全員日本人でした。ガイドさんも日本人で気さくだった為良かったです。
ゴープロの貸し出しもありましたし、カメラを持ってれば写真を撮ってくれます、新婚旅行なので誰がが撮ってくれる2人の写真はありがたいです。ただ、当然ですがゴープロを借りた人の方が優遇して撮ってくれます。自分たちは借りてませんが普通に声を掛けてくれます。
サンドバーは、潮位と時間で姿が違う為調べる事をオススメします。ちなみに、海抜0を割る日の午前は1週間前で予約が取れませんでした。

I participated in this trip because I wanted to take my 5-year-old daughter to Kailua, where we went for our honeymoon! I was nervous until the pickup, but we safely boarded and headed to Kailua. There were changing rooms and lockers for valuables, so it was安心 for families with children. The staff were all friendly and kind. My daughter really warmed up and kept talking to Mieko (is that the right name?). I’m sorry for interrupting your work!
We headed to the beach at 9:30 and were able to relax until 3 PM with a lunch break in between. It was quite windy that day, which made things a bit challenging, but we had a really great time.
Next time, when my daughter can ride a bike, I’d like to go to Kailua Town.
Thank you to all the staff!
以前新婚旅行で行ったカアルアに、5歳の娘を連れて行きたくて参加させていただきました!
ピックアップまではドキドキしていましたが、無事に乗車しカアルアへ。
更衣室も、貴重品用のロッカーもあり、子連れでも安心です。
スタッフのみなさんもフレンドリー&親切でした。娘もすっかり打ち解けてしまい、みえこさん(名前あってます?)にずっと話しかけていました。お仕事のお邪魔してすいませんでした!
9時半にビーチへ向かい、ランチを挟んで3時までのんびり過ごすことができました。
当日はとても風が強くて少し大変でしたが、本当に楽しかったです。
次回は娘が自転車に乗れるようになったら、カイルアタウンに行きたいと思います。
スタッフのみなさま、ありがとうございました!

I love dolphins and have swum with them in various places, but this was my first time with wild dolphins!!
Unlike the dolphins in captivity, I was nervous about whether I would actually see them in the wild, but the staff worked hard alongside us to find them, and I was able to see many dolphins up close!
Thanks to the dolphin-loving staff, it was truly a fun and happy experience.
イルカ大好きで、いろいろなところでイルカと泳いできましたが、野生のイルカは初めて!!
飼育されているイルカとは違い、野生なので逢えるかドキドキでしたが、スッタフも一緒になって一生懸命さがしてくださり、たくさんのイルカを間近で見られることができました!
イルカ好きのスタッフのみなさんのおかげで、本当に楽しくて幸せな時間でした。
