Captain Bob's Kaneohe Sandbar Snorkeling Tour & BBQ Lunch with Waikiki Pickup

The best kept secret on oahu

Reviewed by: STACY

We had done this excursion on our first trip last year. We had such an amazing time we decided to do it again
Upon our arrival at the marina our guide Jenner took excellent care of us but the best part was he remembered us from over a year ago the crew was exceptional we had a great lunch and saw lots of turtles. The snorkeling was fantastic
This is by far our favorite thing to do while on Oahu

Encountered a whale!! クジラにも遭遇！！

Reviewed by: tatsu

We participated as a family of four.
With a gathering time before 6 AM, our excitement on the bus heading to the port was quite low at first, but gradually lifted thanks to the staff's energetic attitude.
Even though we were in Hawaii, December was surprisingly chilly, and a wetsuit was a must for an additional fee. The boat was spacious enough, and it seemed to vary by day, but we arrived at the dolphin spot relatively quickly. We were able to meet the dolphins safely.
After dolphin watching, we moved to the turtle spot, and after seeing the turtles, we had playtime with activities like SUP and canoeing.
And, on the way back to the port, the captain spotted a whale!!
It was an unexpected encounter that brought our excitement to the max.
The captain and all the staff were incredibly friendly, and we had a fantastic time.
Oh! By the way, lunch consisted of hamburgers and juice eaten on the bus.

家族4人で参加しました。
朝6時前の集合で港へ向かうバスの中でのテンションはなかなか上がりませんでしたが、スタッフの方達の元気の良さに徐々にテンションも上がっていきました。
ハワイとはいっても、12月は流石に肌寒く別料金でしたがウエットスーツはマスト。船も十分な広さが有り、日によるようですがイルカのポイントまで割と直ぐに到着。無事にイルカ達に会うことが出来ました。
イルカウォッチングが終わりカメのポイントに移動、カメを見た後はSUPやカヌー等でのプレイタイムも有りました。
そして、なんと帰港する途中で船長がクジラを発見!!
まさかの遭遇でテンションMAXとなりました。
船の船長以下スタッフ全員がものすごくフレンドリーで目一杯楽しかったです。
あっ! ちなみに昼食はバスの中で食べるハンバーガーとジュースです。

I want to go again! また行きたい！

Reviewed by: らるー

It was a bit chilly, and the water was quite cold. However, the scenery was truly wonderful. The gradient of the sea, the mountains of the islands visible in the distance. During the turtle watch, I got to see many sea turtles, and while snorkeling, there were so many fish that I had never seen in Izu. The burger for lunch was incredibly delicious! The staff were very friendly and seemed to enjoy their work, which made them shine. I expressed my gratitude through a tip. On the way back, there wasn't a changing area, but the restroom stalls were very spacious, so I was able to change without any inconvenience. I think you can have plenty of fun even without going into the sea. On the flight back, I found myself reminiscing and thought, "I want to go again." I felt motivated to work hard.

少し肌寒く、水はわりと冷たい。だけど、景色は本当に素晴らしかったです。海のグラデーション。遠くに見える島の山々。タートルウォッチではたくさんの海ガメにも会えたし、シュノーケリングでは伊豆では見たことない魚がたくさんいました。そしてランチのバーガーがすごく美味しかったです！とても気さくでフレンドリーで楽しそうに仕事をするスタッフの皆さんもキラキラしてました。ありがとうございますの気持ちをチップに込めました。帰り、着替えのスペースはないけど、トイレの個室がすごーく広いので、不便なく着替えもできました。海に入らなくても充分に楽しめると思います。
帰りの飛行機でもしみじみと思い出したりして、また行きたいなー。仕事頑張ろー。と思いました。

A landscape like that of the Salar de Uyuni! ウユニ塩湖のような景色！

Reviewed by: S.M

The weather was wonderful, and I was able to see very beautiful scenery! It was a strange feeling to stand with my feet in the water surrounded by mountains. When I took photos, it felt just like being at the Salar de Uyuni. I was satisfied to be able to go snorkeling in a place that is hard to reach on my own and even saw a sea turtle. If I had to say something, the lunch included in the tour was a bit disappointing, but considering we were on the water, I guess it can't be helped. Even with that, it was a highly satisfying tour.

お天気にも恵まれ、とても綺麗な景色を見ることができました！
山に囲まれた海上に、足をつけて立てる不思議な感覚でした。写真を撮るとまるでウユニ塩湖にいるような感じになりました。
個人ではなかなか行けないようなところでシュノーケリングでき、ウミガメも見れて満足です。
強いてゆうなら、ツアーに含まれているランチはイマイチだったかなと思いますが海の上だし仕方ないかなぁ。それを差し引いても満足度の高いツアーでした。

I participated in a tour to swim in the ocean for the first time in a while. It really felt like a dream to be able to swim with dolphins. There were many dolphins swimming together, looking so happy. I was also glad to see two turtles that brought happiness. It was a lot of fun.

It was fun, Dolphin University. 楽しかった、イルカ大学

Reviewed by: ジョン万次郎

I participated in this tour for my honeymoon. I had heard that we might encounter wild dolphins and sea turtles, but since it’s nature, I thought it would depend on luck. Once we set sail and enjoyed the beautiful ocean scenery, we encountered a pod of dolphins about three times. With the crew's guidance, we were able to anticipate the direction the dolphins were swimming and saw them swimming right below us, which was very thrilling and exciting. We also encountered a large sea turtle, making it a very satisfying tour.

I participated in the tour in mid-November, but it was cold after coming out of the sea, so I recommend renting a wetsuit. There were also a few people who got seasick, so it might be a good idea to take motion sickness medication. We were blessed with good weather, and it became a once-in-a-lifetime memory that I could only experience here.

ハネムーンで参加しました。
野生のイルカやウミガメに出会えるとの事ですが、自然相手なので運が良ければという思いでした。いざ出港し、海上の景色も堪能していると、3回ほどイルカの群れに出会えました。クルーの方の誘導でイルカ達の泳ぐ方向へ先回りし、自分達の真下をイルカの群れが泳いでいき、とても迫力があってすごく盛り上がりました。また、大きなウミガメにも遭遇し、とても満足いくツアーとなりました。
11月中旬にツアーに参加したのですが、海から出た後が寒く、ウエットスーツはレンタルすることをお勧めします。
船酔いでダウンされている方も数名いらっしゃったので、酔い止めは服用された方がいいかもしれません。
お天気にも恵まれ、ここでしか体験できない一生の思い出になりました。

Reviewed by: ブルノ&エリカ

This was the tour I was looking forward to the most. I checked the water level at the sandbar in advance and knew that at this time of year, it would be tough at night, so I expected it to be up to my waist. In reality, it was only up to my knees, which made me happy.

It was cloudy at first, but it cleared up later, and I was moved to see such a wonderful sandbar. (Having just seen the Phantom Island in Ishigaki, I thought it was great in comparison, but I was very satisfied.) My husband and I weren't adjusting well to the food in Hawaii and were feeling like we wanted to return to Japan soon (Wolfgang Puck was delicious), but the hamburger lunch was tasty, and we both agreed it was good.

It was my first time snorkeling! The instructions were clear, and although I was scared at first in the deep sea, before I knew it, I was completely absorbed for an hour! Being able to watch a sea turtle resting on the coral right in front of me is my best memory. I tend to get seasick and forgot to take motion sickness medication, but in the end, I was okay. However, I recommend that anyone who is worried should take it with them!

The staff were very friendly, cheerful, and fun, which made it enjoyable. I think this tour is worth more than the price! If I have the chance again, I would like to bring my parents along.

一番楽しみにしていたツアーです。
サンドバーの水位は事前に調べて、今の時期は夜ではないと厳しいのはわかっていたので腰まであるのは想定内でした^ ^
実際は膝上だったので嬉しかったです。
最初は曇っていましたが、途中から晴れてきてとてもステキなサンドバーが見られて感動しました。(先日、石垣島で幻の島を見てきたあとだったのでそれに比べれば…でしたが大満足◎)
ハワイの食事が合わなくて、私も主人も早く日本に帰りたい気持ちになっていたのですが(ウルフギャングはおいしかった)、ハンバーガーランチはおいしくて二人とも良かったね〜と話していました^ ^
シュノーケリングは私は人生初！でしたが分かりやすく教えて頂けたし、とても深い海で最初は怖かったけど気づけば一時間夢中になっていました！珊瑚で休憩しているウミガメを目の前でずーっと眺めることができて一番の思い出です。船酔いしやすいのに酔い止めを忘れてしまい、、、結果的には大丈夫でしたが心配な方は飲んで行かれることをオススメします！
スタッフさんたちもとても気さくで明るく面白くて楽しかったです^ ^
お値段以上のツアーだと思います！また機会があれば両親も連れて参加したいです。

Congratulations on your graduation from Dolphin University! イルカ大学、祝卒業！

Reviewed by: おまる

This was my third time at Dolphin University, and I was really looking forward to it since I had such a great time each previous visit!

I was picked up at 5:45 in front of DFS. Waking up early is tough, but it's worth it to meet the dolphins. We received some instructions on the bus, and once we arrived at the port, we boarded at 7:30 and set sail!

You can store your belongings in the shelf at your feet, but since they might get wet, it's better to keep them in a plastic bag or something similar. The boat swayed quite a bit, and many people ended up feeling seasick... To avoid turning this fun trip into a tough one, I recommend taking motion sickness medication!

Also, it gets really cold on the boat, so I think it's a good idea to bring $10 to rent a wetsuit! The captain decides whether to head north or south based on the day's conditions, and this time we went north.

About 30 minutes after departure, we received information that dolphins were nearby! We quickly put on our fins and masks and jumped into the sea. You have to jump in quickly, or you might miss the dolphins, so there's no time to feel scared! I jumped in swiftly and swam with all my might.

The result was incredibly satisfying; I got to see so many dolphins!! There were even baby dolphins, and they were so cute! I could see them swimming underwater and popping their heads up to the surface, and I took lots of videos and photos! When you dip your ears in the water, you can hear the dolphins' sounds!

The crew was friendly and fun, and we had a great time throughout the trip. There are staff members who speak Japanese, so communication was no problem at all! I definitely want to enroll again!

今回で3回目のイルカ大学、毎回とても楽しめたので期待大で臨みました！
5:45DFS前でピックアップ、早起きは辛いですがイルカと会うためなので仕方ないです。
バスの中で注意点などの説明を受け、港に着いたら7:30に乗船し出航！
荷物は足元の棚に収納できますが、濡れることがあるのでビニール袋等に入れておいた方がよさそうです。
船はまぁまぁ揺れるので、酔ってしまう人が続出でした…せっかくの楽しい旅が辛いものにならない為に、酔い止めの服用をお勧めします！
また船の上はとても寒いので、1人10ドル持って行ってウエットスーツは借りた方がいいと思います！
港から北に行くか南に行くかはその日の状態で船長さんが決めるそうで、今回は北側に進みました。
出航後30分程度でイルカがすぐ近くにいるとの情報をキャッチ！
すぐにフィンやマスクをつけて船から海に飛び込みます。
飛び込む時は早くしないとイルカに会えなくなるので怖いとか感じている暇はありません！
とにかく素早く飛び込み必死に泳ぎました。
結果は大満足、たくさんのイルカに会えました！！
赤ちゃんイルカもいてとても可愛かったです！
肉眼で水中を泳ぐ姿や海面に顔を出すところも見れましたし、動画や写真もたくさん撮れました！
水に耳を浸けるとキューというイルカの鳴き声も聞こえます！
クルーも親切で面白い人ばかり、終始盛り上がって楽しめました。
日本語の喋れるスタッフがいるのでコミュニケーションは全く問題ありません！
ぜひまた入学したいと思います！

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

Good value. Kids had a great time.

Reviewed by: Sus

We have a 4 and 7 year old. 4 year old had no interest in going in the water but really enjoyed the boat ride. The amount of time we were on the boat was just right for little ones (2-2.5 hours). Our 7 year old really wanted to snorkel with sea turtles and she saw several, so this was perfect. Super fun and really nice crew. They were kind to our kids and made sure that our little one got to see some fish and even pointed out sea turtles coming up for air so she didn’t feel like she missed out on anything. If you are comfortable with adult beverages being around, this is a great excursion for families with kids and beginner snorkelers. Compared to some of the other outfitters around, they are also very well-priced. Felt like this was a good value and an afternoon well spent.

I was able to see dolphins, turtles, octopuses, and even whales! イルカにカメにタコにクジラまで見れました！

Reviewed by: SAE

Around 6 AM, a bus will pick you up near the hotel. It's early in the morning, so I'm sleepy, but the guide on the bus explains about dolphins and more with quizzes, so I can't sleep (laughs).

Once we arrive at the port, there's a little time before boarding the boat, so it's a good time for a restroom break. There was also a cute cat! The bus driver even showcased his ukulele skills♪

In Hawaii, the sea is cold in November, so I rented a wetsuit. It costs $10 per person, and everyone in my group rented one. Even with the wetsuit, there were times when it was a bit chilly, so it's better to borrow one. Also, while the boat doesn't seem to rock too much, there were some people who got seasick, so motion sickness medication is a must! I regretted not taking it since I felt a bit queasy too★

Not long after boarding the boat, we dove into the sea because there was a pod of dolphins! I saw many dolphins swimming right in front of me. After coming back on the boat and moving to another spot, we dove again. I got to see them well the second time too, and I was able to take pictures with an underwater camera. It would have been even better if the dolphins had stayed a bit longer, but it was over in a flash.

After that, we went snorkeling and swam around in the sea. I saw a turtle up close. Apparently, you shouldn't get within 2 meters of the turtle. A staff member found an octopus somewhere and let me touch it while it was on his shoulder. It was slippery (laughs).

They brought out canoes, a slide, and stand-up paddleboards, and we all took turns playing. It was tough to stand on the paddleboard! But the staff were there to help. They even did a handstand on the paddleboard!!

Lastly, we got to see a whale, even if just a little. There are whale tours in winter, but seeing one in November is lucky☆

It was super fun, but there were two disappointing things. The information said they would take photos that you could buy later and that you would receive an eco-bag, but neither was available during my time. I really wanted a photo with the dolphins. I also wanted the eco-bag!

Other than those two points, it was a fun tour where I could fully enjoy Hawaii♪

朝6時頃にホテルの近くまでバスで迎えに来てくれます。朝早いから眠いけど、バスの中ではお姉さんがイルカ等についてクイズを交えて説明してくれるので寝れません(笑)
港に着いたら船に乗るまで少し時間があるのでトイレタイム。かわいい猫ちゃんもいました。バスの運転手さんがウクレレ披露してくれたりも♪

ハワイでも11月の海は冷たいのでウェットスーツをレンタル。1人10ドルで、私が参加した回は全員がレンタルしてました。ウェットスーツ着てても少し寒い時あったので、借りた方が良いです。あと船はそんなに揺れてないと思うけど、船酔いしちゃってる人もいたので酔い止めは必須です！私も少し船酔いしちゃったので酔い止め飲んでおけば良かったと後悔★

船に乗ってからそんなに時間が経たないうちにイルカの群がいたとのことで海にダイブ！目の前を横切っていくたくさんのイルカを見れました。1度船に上がり移動してからまたすぐにダイブ。2度目もしっかり見れて、水中カメラで撮れました。もうちょっとイルカがゆっくりその場にいてくれたらもっと最高だったけど、あっという間だったな～。
その後はシュノーケリングで海を回遊。カメもすぐ近くに見れました。カメには2m以内に近づいてはいけないらしい。スタッフさんがどこからかタコを見つけてきて肩に乗せてたので触らせてもらいました。ヌルッとしてた(笑)
カヌーや滑り台、スタンドアップパドルを出してくれてみんなで交代で遊びました。スタンドアップパドルは立つの難しかった～！でもスタッフさんがフォローしてくれます。なんとスタンドアップパドルの上で倒立してくれたりも！！
そして最後にちょこっとですがクジラを見ることができました。冬はクジラツアーあるけど、11月に見られるのはラッキー☆

すごい楽しかったけど、ちょっと残念だったことが2点。案内には写真撮ってくれて後で購入できるってこととエコバッグもらえるって書いてあったけど、私の時は両方ありませんでした。イルカと一緒の写真撮ってもらいたかったな～。エコバッグも欲しかった～！
この2点の他はハワイを満喫できる楽しいツアーでした♪

I highly recommend it!! おススメです！！

Reviewed by: uchi

I was really looking forward to the sandbar this time, and as mentioned in the reviews, the water level was about knee-high, so I participated with that in mind. When I arrived, the water level was indeed around my knees, just as I expected, but I was not disappointed at all; I was amazed by the beautiful scenery and the clarity of the sea! The staff actively took photos and engaged in conversation with us. The volleyball game we played with the staff and participants was a lot of fun! During the sea turtle watching, we were able to see many sea turtles from the boat. We even encountered a wild manta ray, which the staff said is rare, so we were lucky.

Snorkeling was my first experience, and I was anxious because I can't swim, but the staff explained everything clearly and patiently, and when I swam as instructed, I was able to move smoothly! They let me hold fish food, and fish gathered right in front of me. I also got to see a very large sea turtle resting in a coral reef hole! Each experience was truly wonderful, and I’m so glad I participated in this tour. All the staff were great, and I felt safe participating. Thank you very much.

今回とても楽しみにしていたサンドバー、口コミであったように、水位は膝ぐらいが当たり前の様子だった為、そのつもりで参加しました。
着いたところ、やはり水位は膝上ぐらいで予想通りでしたが、まったくガッカリすることは無く、周りの景色や海の綺麗さに感動しました！
スタッフさんも積極的に写真を撮ってくれたり、話しかけてくれました。
スタッフさんと参加者でやったバレーがとても楽しかったです！
海亀ウォッチングでは、沢山の海亀を船上から見れました。野生のマンタにも遭遇出来、スタッフさん曰く珍しい事だそうで、ラッキーでした。
シュノーケリングは、初体験かつ、泳げない身の為不安でしたが、丁寧かつ分かりやすく説明してくださり、その通りに泳いだらとってもスムーズに動けました！
魚の餌を持たせてくれ、目の前に魚が集まってきたり、珊瑚礁の穴には休憩中のとっても大きな海亀を見ることも出来ました！
どれも本当に素敵な経験で、心から参加して良かったツアーです。
スタッフの方も皆さん良い方で、安心して参加する事が出来ました。

サンドバー天使の海　シュノーケリング＆ウミガメウォッチクルーズ　船上のBBQグリルで焼くハンバーガーランチ付き！＜午前／日本語クルー＞

It might be a bit cold in November. 11月参加は少し寒いかも

Reviewed by: あああ

I participated in the latter half of November. Overall, I had a lot of fun. I think there might be better times to visit, but there are various activities to enjoy at sea, so it’s still a good option.

Looking back... I was guided to board one of two boats, with Japanese people on one and others on the other. It seemed that there were quite a few Japanese participants that day, and those who could speak English boarded the other boat.

The water depth at the sandbar was as expected, above the knees. If you're hoping for shallow water, I recommend checking the depth carefully. Even though the water was deep, it sparkled beautifully when the sun was out. For those who aren't particularly interested in taking photos, it might just turn into a snorkeling experience. November was a bit chilly. Beach volleyball seemed difficult with the deep water.

Then it was lunchtime. The lunch was okay. Since there were many Japanese on our boat, it took some time.

After eating, we headed to a spot where turtles appear. We saw quite a few! However, it was challenging to take photos as they quickly disappeared.

After that, we went snorkeling. We wore life jackets while snorkeling, so we were floating on the surface. There were many fish around the coral. I thought I saw artificial round rocks in the gaps of the coral, but it turned out to be a turtle! When I got closer, the turtle started swimming away, and I was really excited! When snorkeling, keep an eye out for turtles; you might spot one! Those who are confident swimmers were snorkeling without life jackets.

I really enjoyed the sea. I think it's suitable for people of all ages. Definitely have fun!

11月後半に参加しました。
結果としては、だいぶ楽しめました。
もっといい時期があるとは思いますが、海遊びとしては色々できるので良いのではないでしょうか？

振り返ると…
二艘の船に日本人こっち、それ以外こっちと誘導されて乗船。
参加した日は日本人が多めのようで、英語話せる方はもう一艘の方に乗られていました。

サンドバーの水深は予想通り膝以上。
砂が出ているのを期待している方は水深はしっかりチェックした方がいいと思います。
水深が深くても、晴れるとキラキラして綺麗でした。
写真にそんなに興味ない人はひたすらシュノーケリングになるかも。11月は少々寒かったです。
ビーチバレーは水深深いとやりづらそうでした。

そのままお昼の時間。
お昼はまぁまぁ。
日本人船は人数が多いので時間がかかります。

ご飯食べたらカメが現れるスポットへ。
結構会えるんですね。でも写真とるの大変。すぐ見えなくなります。

そのあとはシュノーケリング。
ライフジャケット着用でのシュノーケリングだったので、水面をくるくる。
サンゴの周りは魚がたくさんでした。
サンゴの隙間に人工的な丸い岩があるなーと思っていたら、カメでした！
近づいたらカメが泳ぎだして、かなり興奮しました！
シュノーケリングする際はカメがいるかもなので、探してみてください！
泳ぎに自信がある方はライフジャケットなしでもシュノーケリングされてましたよ。

海をだいぶ楽しめました。
老若男女いけると思います。
ぜひ楽しんで。

Celebrating my father's 70th birthday trip 父の古稀祝い旅

Reviewed by: ちえちゃん

We decided to travel a lot as a family while my father, who is 70 years old, is still able to move around. We have been gathering with relatives once a month for planning for about a year now. I have always loved diving and have encouraged those around me to try it, but it seems there is a scary image associated with it, as everyone in my family except for me was quite hesitant about the dolphin school this time. However, thanks to the warm support and encouragement from the kind and cheerful staff, their anxious expressions disappeared. When the tour ended and we returned to the port, my father exclaimed, "The dolphin tour was the best!!" Normally, he doesn't joke around much, but during the tour, he was completely absorbed in enjoying the interactions with the sea and the staff, smiling the whole time! He was also earnestly dancing the hula on the boat, and I was very happy to capture those moments on camera. When I asked my 10-year-old niece what her best memory was after returning home, she immediately replied, "The dolphin school!!" My dream also came true, and I was really glad to see so many smiles from my family. The snorkeling gear and suits were in great condition, and the spam onigiri was delicious! I will definitely come back to enroll again.

父 70歳、身体が動くうちに家族でたくさん旅をしようと決めた旅行。
約一年前から親族で月１で集まりプランニングをしてきました。
わたしは元々ダイビングが好きで、周りにもすすめてきましたが、怖いというイメージがあるみたいで、今回のイルカ中学入校も私以外の家族は皆さんざん悩んでいました。
けれど、優しく明るいスタッフさんたちの手厚いフォローや声かけに、不安な表情も消え、
ツアーが終わって港に戻ると「イルカツアーが一番よかった！！」と父。
普段はおちゃらけることもあまりない父ですが、ツアー中は夢中になって海とスタッフさんたちとのやりとりを楽しみ、終始笑顔！
船上でのフラも一生懸命に踊っていて、撮影しながらとても嬉しかったです。
10歳の姪は帰国後、一番の想い出は？と問うと「イルカ中学！！」と即答。
私の夢も叶い、家族の笑顔がたくさん見ることができて、本当に参加してよかったです。
シュノーケルやスーツも美品でしたし、
スパムおにぎりも美味しかったです！
また入校しに行かせていただきます。

イルカ大学　イルカウォッチング＆シュノーケリングクルーズ　イルカと泳ぐプランも！マリンアクティビティも充実＜ランチ付き／日本語／ワイキキ＆コオリナ送迎可＞

We participated with three family members on November 18th. １１月１８日に親子３名で参加しました

Reviewed by: ぱちくん

On this day, the visibility underwater was poor, and the dolphins didn't come close at all.

I could only see them from a distance, and no matter how much I swam, they just kept swimming away.

In the end, the guide made some excuses...

I understand it's nature and animals we're dealing with, but I felt a bit disappointed.

At least we got to ride the slide and kayak at the end, so my son's mood improved a little.

この日は水中の透明度も悪く、イルカも全然近くに寄ってきませんでした。

別のツアーの方や遠くに見えた程度で、
泳いでも、泳いでも逃げていくばかり、

最後にはガイドさんの言い訳が・・・

自然・動物相手なので仕方がないと思いますが少しがっかりな感じでした。

最後に滑り台とカヤックに乗せて頂いたので、息子の機嫌もすこしましになったかな。
