シュノーケリングクルーズ　イルカやウミガメに出会えるチャンスも！？選べる8時／12時出港プラン＜ハワイアンプレートランチ＆アルコール4杯付き／ワイキキ送迎あり＞

Unable to encounter... 遭遇出来ず…

Reviewed by: hwii

I participated in this tour. Unfortunately, I was unable to encounter the main attractions, which were dolphins and turtles; it turned out to be just a cruising and snorkeling tour. Since nature is unpredictable, I understand, but it was disappointing that the experience fell far short of my expectations.

I joined the evening plan, but according to the staff, there is a higher chance of encountering dolphins and turtles during the daytime.

The snorkeling was quite cold, but the sea was beautiful, which made me satisfied. However, since they were attracting fish with bait, if there is no bait, you wouldn't see any fish at all, just some coral, so I didn't feel much of a connection to nature.

As for the cruising, there was some rocking, but it wasn't rough, and I didn't feel seasick. However, it was very disappointing not to encounter the dolphins, which were the main attraction. The weather was nice, and I was moved by the sunset! The colors of the sky on the way back were very beautiful, and I was satisfied.

Overall, this tour felt like an à la carte experience without a main dish, but the side dishes were delicious.

Aside from the tour overview, I thought the catering was sufficient in terms of drinks and food. As someone who doesn't particularly seek alcohol, I was quite satisfied with the variety offered.

Regarding the service, there were Japanese staff members who were attentive and provided thorough explanations, so I didn't have any trouble even though I couldn't speak English. I had a meaningful time! Thank you very much.

I hope to have a chance to try again next time.

今回のツアーに参加させて頂きました。表題のメインであるイルカ、亀に遭遇は出来ず、ただのクルージング&シュノーケリングツアーでした。自然が相手なので仕方ないですが想像は大きく下回る結果だったのは残念です。

参加した時間帯が夕方プランだったのですがスタッフさん曰く日中の方がイルカ、亀には遭遇出来る可能性は高いらしいです。

シュノーケリングに関してはかなり寒かったのですが海は綺麗で満足する事が出来ました。しかし餌で魚を引き寄せていたので餌がない場合は全く魚も見れず珊瑚のみが見えたレベルなので自然感は感じられずでした。

クルージングに関しては揺れはあるものの粗くなく酔う事はありませんでした。しかし、メインであるイルカに遭遇出来なかった事は非常に残念でした。天気が良かった事もありSUNSETが見れたのは感動しました！帰りの空の色は非常に綺麗で満足する事が出来ました。

今回のツアーに関してはメインディシュのないアラカルトが美味しいツアーみたいな感じでした。

ツアー概要は別としてケータリングに関しては呑み物、食べ物は充分だったと思います。特にアルコールを求めない自分としてはかなり満足いくバリエーションでした。

対応に関しては日本人スタッフが居てくれ、気に掛けて頂いたり、丁寧な説明もあり、英語が喋れなくても困る事もなく有意義な時間を過ごせました！本当にありがとうございました。

次回、再チャレンジ出来たらと思います。

ハナウマ湾シュノーケリング　ベテラン日本語ガイドがご案内する少人数制ツアー　貸切プランあり＜半日＞

Snorkeling with a friendly guide. 親切なガイドさんとシュノーケリング

Reviewed by: juniper

The guide was fluent in Japanese, so anyone can participate with confidence. They kindly taught us how to snorkel in detail, which was very helpful. It's great that you can ask questions whenever you don't understand something. Hanauma Bay is rich in fish, and you can encounter a wide variety of them, making it feel like you're swimming in an aquarium. I was surprised that the fish didn't flee even when people were around, as it is a no-fishing zone.

This is a highly recommended tour where you can fully enjoy snorkeling!!!

I hope the coral will recover soon and that Hanauma Bay will return to its original beauty.

ガイドさんは日本語が達者なので誰でも安心して参加できます。シュノーケルのやり方を丁寧に教えてくれてとても親切でした。わからないことはすぐに聞けるのが良いです。ハナウマ湾は魚影が濃く
多種多様な魚に出会うことができ、まるで水族館の中で泳いでいるかのよう。
漁業禁止地区とのことで、人を見ても逃げない魚たちにビックリ。

シュノーケリングを存分に楽しめる、お勧めのツアーです！！！

サンゴが蘇り、早く元の美しいハナウマ湾に戻ると良いなと思いました。

Luxury Ko Olina Sunset Cruise with Snorkeling, Dinner Buffet & Premium Cocktails - Ocean Joy Cruises

Deluxe Snorkel and Sunset Dinner Cruise (from Ko Olina Marina)

Reviewed by: William

This sunset dinner and snorkel sail was excellent! The catamaran was very spacious with plenty of space to walk around and two spacious clean bathrooms. The staff was incredibly friendly and the photographer was exceptional! The food for dinner was also very good! After being in Hawaii for four days already and snorkeling each day, I am so glad I took with snorkel tour since it was by far the best snorkeling with beautiful reefs and sea life, and the photographer came into the water and took underwater photos of us! A jump drive with all the photos cost $40 and was well worth it! Of note do take some motion sickness medicine, you are on a boat! Overall I would highly recommend this trip to any one who wants to see great corral and beautiful sea life!

Valuables are stored in a large locked container box.
We were also provided with drinking water and snacks.
Dan brought an underwater digital camera, and he uploaded the photos he took to Facebook that night.

During this honeymoon trip to Hawaii, I booked and experienced various optional tours in advance. However, honestly, many of the tours booked through travel agencies were disappointing.
Among them, the only tour I booked myself, the "Hanauma Bay Snorkeling," was extremely satisfying.
I truly realized what a veteran guide's tour should be like.
Even regarding tipping, which is not customary in Japan, I often hesitated in other tours and restaurants, but I was happy to tip Dan.
It was a truly moving tour.
I would love to request it again when I go to Hawaii.

シュノーケリングクルーズ　イルカやウミガメに出会えるチャンスも！？選べる8時／12時出港プラン＜ハワイアンプレートランチ＆アルコール4杯付き／ワイキキ送迎あり＞

I couldn't participate. 参加できなかった

Reviewed by: hiraoka

I gathered at the Hyatt Regency Hotel on ○○ Street at 6:15 AM, woke up at 5:30, and was at the meeting place 10 minutes early, but the bus didn't arrive. When I asked the hotel staff, I realized it was on the opposite street. I ran to ○○ Street and arrived at the meeting place by 6:17, but there was no one there. Thinking the pickup hadn't arrived yet, I asked other tour company staff present, and they said, "They usually wait for about 10 minutes, so if they haven't come by 30 minutes, you should contact them." So I waited. When they still didn't come, I called the number listed, but it was too early to connect since it was outside of business hours, and the voicemail was in English and quite fast, so I couldn't understand it. I had no choice but to wait until the business hours started at 7:00 to call again, but there was only English-speaking staff, and we couldn't communicate. I explained the situation at the Japanese counter of the Hyatt Regency Hotel, and when they spoke on my behalf, they said, "We waited for about 5 minutes, but since no one came, we left. You can either change the date or try to catch a taxi right now, but it might be too late." Since I had booked optional tours online for other days, I couldn't change it, and I didn't even know the tour location, so I had no choice but to cancel.

Other tour participants were waiting for their people to arrive, and if the phone had connected, I might have made it in time. Above all, the fact that there wasn't a single staff member who could speak Japanese was the most frustrating part.

I reserved a rotating restaurant with a night view on this site, but there were no Japanese-speaking staff there either, and the transportation to Tantalus was not scheduled properly, so it ended up being the same time as the meal. I wanted to go to Tantalus more than have dinner, but I couldn't go, and I really thought I shouldn't have made a reservation on this site!

朝6:15にハイアット・リージェンシーホテルの○○通り集合で、5:30に起きて10分前には集合場所にいたが、バスが来なくてホテルの人に聞くと反対の通りだったことに気がついた。走って○○通りまで行って6:17には集合場所にいたが、姿はなく、まだお迎え来てないのだと思い、そこにいた他のツアー会社の人などにきくと、『大体10分くらいしかは待ってくれるから30分まで待っても来なかったら連絡してみればいいよ』と言われたので待っていた。それでも来なかったので書かれていたところに電話すると、時間が早いため営業時間外で繋がらず留守電も英語でかなり早いためききとれなかった。仕方なく営業開始時間の7:00まで待ってから電話すると、英語スタッフしか居なくて私たちでの会話は無理だった。ハイアット・リージェンシーホテルの日本語カウンターで経緯を説明し、会話してもらうと、『5分くらい待ったが来なかったので出発した。日にちを変えるか、今からすぐにタクシーを拾ってきてもギリギリ間に合うか分からないくらい』とのことだった。他の日もネットでオプショナルツアーを入れていたため変更はきかず、ツアー開催場所も分からないくらいのでやむを得ず断然した。
他のツアーの人は人が来るまで待っていてくれていたし、電話が繋がればすぐに行って間に合ったかもしれないし、なにしろ、日本語が話せるスタッフが一人もいない事が一番嫌だった。

このサイトで夜景の見える回転式レストランを予約したが、そこにも日本語が話せるスタッフはいなくて付いてくるはずのタンタラスの丘送迎も時間設定ができず、勝手に食事開始時間と同じになってしまうため食事よりもタンタラスの丘に行きたかったのに行けず、本当にこのサイトで予約しちゃだめだ！と思った。

Hanauma Bay Snorkel Tour with Expert Guide & Waikiki Transportation

Great Snorkeling day!

Reviewed by: Lolly H

We LOVED this day! Dan & his wife were great! They took very good care of us, even making sure that those of us with cameras got a chance to take pictures of the beautiful fish (and the 2 sea turtles we saw). They provided us with cold water and snacks after our swim, which were much appreciated. I love that Dan took many pictures of us all with his camera, and posted them to Facebook for us to see &/or download later. My husband and I are both over 60, and I think they were a little concerned whether we could handle the swimming. But they stayed nearby and checked often whether we were OK (we were!) Most of our group was Japanese, with My husband & I the only "anglos". Dan was amazing at switching from Japanese to English and back, making sure that none of us felt left out of the conversation. We would definitely recommend this activity for anyone!

Swimming with the Turtles

Reviewed by: rusty

Had a great time very few folks on the trip. Crew was great they knew where to go to get on the turtles. Chris was busy looking for other things to show us so got to see a lot more than just the turtles. Nice thing about the morning trip is that we got there before a lot of other folks so there were plenty of turtles on the reef.

ハナウマ湾シュノーケリング　ベテラン日本語ガイドがご案内する少人数制ツアー　貸切プランあり＜半日＞

I had a great time. 十分、楽しめました

Reviewed by: TAKESHI

I was honestly a bit anxious since it was overseas and had fewer reviews compared to other tours. We waited on the first floor of the hotel for our pickup, wondering if they would really come. However, they arrived almost on time and were friendly from the start. There were three groups of foreign tourists, and they made sure to engage with everyone equally, which was wonderful.

I saw reviews mentioning that valuables could be stored, and I thought they would be kept in the car, but instead, they were stored in a lockbox on the beach. Also, I was instructed to wear my swimsuit beforehand, so I participated in just my swimsuit from the beginning. However, being in the water for a long time can get cold, so changing clothes is definitely necessary.

While there were some minor shortcomings in the guidance, both Dan, the husband, and Chie, the wife, were very nice people, making it a tour you can enjoy with peace of mind. I think it's recommended. Even if the weather is bad or we didn't see any sea turtles, that's just nature, so it's to be expected.

海外の、しかも他のツアーに比べて口コミも少なかったところだったので正直不安でした。ホテルの1階で待機してピックアップしてもらう形でしたので、本当に来るのかなぁ…と。
ですが、ほぼ定刻通りに迎えに来てくれて、尚且つ最初から気さくに話してくれ、外国人観光客と一緒の3組だったのですがちゃんと全員にバランスよく話し掛けてくれる気の遣える素晴らしい方です。
貴重品が預けられるという口コミを見ましたが、てっきり車の中に保管するのかと思っていたら砂浜に鍵の掛かる箱に保管をしました。
あとは、事前に水着を着用しとくように指示があったので最初から水着だけで参加したのですが、ずっと水に入っていると寒くなるので、やはり着替えは必要ですね。
若干案内不足なところは否めませんが、旦那さんのダンさんと奥様のチエさん共に非常に良い人で、安心して楽しめるツアーですのでオススメだと思います。
天気が悪いとか、海ガメにあえなかったとか言ってもそれは自然が相手なのですから当然のことだと思います。

A must do!

Reviewed by: Sang Park

We came here on our honeymoon and we had an awesome experience with Ocean Joy Cruises. We scheduled for the shuttle service and the bus was right on time to pick us up from our hotel. There was a little traffic to Ko-Olina but wasn't too bad. The bus driver kindly guided us through the entire ride and it was comfortable. The cruise staff were friendly and generous. They provided everyone with ginger pills to avoid motion sickness. Snorkeling was great too. Too bad that we didn't get to see the turtles but it was fun! The food wasn't fancy or anything but it was delicious and that first sip of an icy cold beer after snorkeling was heavenly. While we were having dinner, we got to see the group of dolphins swimming right next to our cruise which was phenomenal. The sunset, of course, it was breathtaking moment. My husband and I really enjoyed the cruise and we will definitely come back with our family in the future.

trust me to try this experience

Reviewed by: han lee

first of all, people working on the boat was awesome, they were very very friendly, especially guy name mason was funny and very active and he was there every moment when we needed him
the boat was not too big and luckily we only had less than twenty people so a lot of room normally around forty people on the board. I suggest to take a pill before you go on because it really help you not to through up.
snorkeling was fun experience and they teach you everything you need to know and fun part was when you go into the water they feed the fish so the fish can come to you I'm talking about a lot of fish and it was so amazing and beautiful when can I get to see that many of fish.
after snorkeling it's cold right but this boat has warm water so you can take salt water out in warm water, that was pretty good idea for help from cold and windy weather.
the boat had every drink you could think of like from hot coffee to cold soda to alcohol beverage and people working on the boat took turn to be a bartender and they actually make good tasty drinks but just let you know that alcohol is only served after snorkeling.
I gotta talk and tell you about the food. it's most delicious Hawaiian pork bbq burger and charcoal grilled chicken was so so good and fresh Hawaiian fruits was one of my favorite
during the diner time captain called out to come out and we went out and guess what?!! dolphins were swimming by, not just one couple of Dolphins
it was my first time watching Dolphins swimming around and that was amazing time.
captain was very generous he didn't want us to miss every moment so he was keep looking out and around the ocean if anything it might be interesting for us.
overall this was the best experience for us and I truly and definitely recommend to try, love to go on the board and meet them again.

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

Good trip; dependent on ocean conditions

Reviewed by: Allison

I took this trip on my own. The staff were very friendly and personable and laid back. The catamaran was quite large and fit everyone comfortably. Unfortunately, the water was quite silty and therefore the visibility was poor. I saw a couple of turtles and a few fish, but overall the snorkeling portion of the trip was disappointing. It sounds like from other reviews it is not always this way, so I may have just been unlucky. After snorkeling, we sailed around, which was fun. Subway subs were provided for lunch; however there were no vegetarian friendly subs - I would recommend for the future that this option be made available.

Overall, the trip was good but would have been much better had the visibility been better.

ハナウマ湾シュノーケリング　ベテラン日本語ガイドがご案内する少人数制ツアー　貸切プランあり＜半日＞

It was the best snorkeling experience. 最高のシュノーケリングでした

Reviewed by: ふみさん

I had only done snorkeling in Okinawa before. The sea in Okinawa was beautiful, but Hanauma Bay was incomparably more stunning.

On the day of the tour, a cheerful guide came to pick us up at the meeting point. The guide spoke Japanese very well and chatted with us casually during the drive. Thanks to that, we arrived at Hanauma Bay in no time. We received a briefing on sea etiquette and swimming techniques while putting on our fins and life jackets, and then we were off to the ocean! Perhaps due to the prior briefing, we were able to move around freely! When we moved to a slightly deeper area, a school of fish appeared right in front of us! I had never seen such a school of fish before!! After that, we were informed by the guide's friend about where to find sea turtles, and we set off to search for them. We successfully spotted a sea turtle. Although we shouldn't touch them, the turtle approached us closely, perhaps because it was used to people. It was so close that I was worried we might accidentally touch it.

After thoroughly enjoying Hanauma Bay, we were given well-chilled water and Hawaiian snacks on our way back. I was very grateful for that consideration, as swimming took more energy than I expected.

Next time I go to Hawaii, I would like to request the same guide again.

これまでに沖縄でしかシュノーケリングをしたことがありませんでした．沖縄の海もきれいでしたが，ハナウマ湾は沖縄とは比べ物にならないくらいきれいでした．

　当日はピックアップ場所に陽気なガイドさんが迎えに来てくれました．ガイドさんは日本語がとても上手で，移動の車内でも気さくに話しかけてくれます．おかげであっという間にハナウマ湾に到着．
　足ヒレ，ライフジャケットの装着時に海でのマナー，泳ぎ方のレクチャーを受け，いざ海へ！事前レクチャーのおかげか移動も自由自在に！水深が少し深いところへ移動すると，魚の群れが目の前に！あんな魚群は初めて見ました！！その後はガイドさんの友人からウミガメがいる場所を教えてもらい，ウミガメ捜索へ．無事にウミガメを発見できました．ウミガメは触ってはいけないのですが，ヒトに慣れているせいかウミガメからグイグイ近づいてきます．触ってしまうのではないかハラハラするくらい至近距離でした．
　ひとしきりハナウマ湾を満喫し，帰り際にはよく冷えた水とハワイのお菓子をいただきました．水の中は思ったより体力をつかうので，その気遣いがとてもうれしかったです．

次回ハワイに行くときはまた同じ方にガイドをお願いしたいと思います．

Every year I go to Hawaii, but this was my first time sailing off Waikiki. There were about 10 participants that day, and we were the only Japanese. The ride was comfortable without any nausea-inducing swaying. The view of Waikiki from the sea was exceptional. There were quite a few turtles at the snorkeling point, which was enjoyable. However, there were no life jackets, just a floating noodle. They provide snorkeling gear for free, so if you're anxious, it's better to bring your own. The other catamaran tour I considered had life jackets (I noticed since they were at the same point). Drinks and snacks are available for purchase, so I recommend bringing your own water. The staff only spoke English but were friendly and kind. Since it departs from Waikiki Beach, it's easy to join, so I recommend it.

毎年ハワイに行っていながら、初のワイキキ沖セーリング。当日の参加者は10人ほどで日本人は私たちだけ。酔うような揺れもなく快適。沖から見るワイキキの眺めは格別でした。シュノーケルポイントにはカメさんも結構いて楽しめます。ただ・・・ライフジャケット等はなく、英語で「ヌードル」という浮く棒のみ。シュノーケルは無料で貸してくれます。なので、不安な方は持参した方がよいかと。迷ったもう１つのカタマランツアーにはライフジャケットがありました（同じポイントでやっていたのでわかりました）。飲み物、スナックは有料なのでお水等持参がおすすめ。スタッフは英語のみですが感じよく親切。ワイキキビーチ発なので気軽に参加できるのでおすすめです。

The cruise was fun, but... クルーズは楽しかったけれど、、、、、、

Reviewed by: linolino

This tour is an essential activity every time I visit Hawaii. There’s nothing quite like seeing dolphins and swimming with them; it’s so healing. However, this time, for the seventh visit, there were no dolphins... The sea was indeed quite rough, and it wasn’t a situation where the dolphins or turtles could relax.

During the cruising, the staff really tried to lift our spirits more than usual, but it was still disappointing. It seems that the dolphins headed to a completely different location from where they usually are, and the captain mentioned that it would be difficult to chase after them once we received that information due to time constraints. I understand that they are wild animals, and it’s beyond anyone's control, but is it really that difficult to catch information about dolphin movements every day before setting out?

A friend who was seeing dolphins for the first time was also very disappointed, but we agreed that maybe it was a chance to say, "Come back to Hawaii again!"

Next time, we’ll be waiting for you, dolphins!

こちらのツアーは、渡ハの度に欠かせないアクティビティです。イルカを見て一緒の海で泳ぐ、こんなに癒されることはありません。しかし、今回、7回目で初めて、イルカがいない。。。確かに、海はうねりが強く、イルカもカメも落ち着いて休める状況ではありませんでした。
クルージング中は、いつも以上にスタッフが盛り上げてくれましたが、やはり、残念に思いました。朝から、いつもとは全く異なる場所にイルカたちは向かったようで、その情報が入ってから追いかけることは時間的に難しいと、キャプテンから話がありました。自然の生き物ですから、仕方がないことは承知していますが、毎日、イルカの動向の情報をキャッチしてから、船を出すことは難しいのでしょうか？
今回、イルカを見るのが初めての友人も、とても残念がっていましたが、「また、ハワイにおいでよ」と、チャンスをくれたのかもね！と、納得しました。
次は待っててね、イルカさん。

Reviewed by: mimi

I participated with two friends. It was my first time in Hawaii, and I only booked the flight and hotel, so I was looking for optional tours and found this one. They picked us up by car at the hotel and contacted us the day before for the pickup. Since it was just the two of us that day, they moved the tour time to the morning. Our guide was Japanese, which made it easy to talk, and I was able to hear a lot of interesting information. When we arrived at the location, we received an explanation and entered the beach. We were able to put our valuables in a box that the guide brought and lock it up, which made me feel secure. We received our snorkeling sets and headed into the ocean. They taught us how to swim and enter the water first. It was my second time snorkeling, while it was my friend's first time, so I appreciated the thorough explanation. I wasn't very good at swimming, but they adjusted the pace to match my ability, which made me feel at ease. We moved through the beautiful sea while looking for fish, and time flew by. Unfortunately, we didn't see any turtles, but I was satisfied because we saw various fish. I think it's recommended for those who are not used to snorkeling or are visiting Hanauma Bay for the first time (＾_＾).

友達2人と参加しました。ハワイは初めてで航空券とホテルのみとっていただけだったので、オプションツアーを探していて見つけました。ホテルまで車で迎えにきて頂き、前日にピックアップの連絡もホテルにくださいました。その日は私たち2人のみということで、ツアーの時間を前倒しして午前にしてもらえました。日本人のガイドさんだったので、話しやすく、いろいろとお話が聞けました。現地に着くと説明を受けてビーチに入りました。貴重品はガイドさんが持ってきているボックスの中に入れて、カギをかけてもらえたので安心でした。シュノーケルのセットを受取りいざ海へ。最初に泳ぎ方、入り方などを教えてもらいました。私は2回目、友達は初めてのシュノーケリングだったので、丁寧な説明がありがたかったです。私は泳ぎが苦手だったのですが、泳ぎの程度に合わせて進んでくださるので安心でした。キレイな海をお魚を探しながら進んでくのであっという間に時間がすぎました。残念ながらカメには会えませんでしたが、いろんなお魚たちが見れたので満足でした。シュノーケリングに慣れて無い方、ハナウマ湾初めての方にはオススメだと思います（＾_＾）

It was a very satisfying tour! 大満足のツアーでした！

Reviewed by: yuki

This time, I participated in the Hanauma Bay snorkeling tour with a veteran guide <snorkel mask, transportation included, Japanese guidance> with a friend! Since another group canceled at the last minute, we were able to enjoy a private experience! Our guide, Dan, was very funny and kind, and I feel like I enjoyed it ten times more than other tours (laughs). They provide everything you need, including snorkels, lifeguards, fins, and mats, so you can join with just a swimsuit! At first, I was nervous and couldn't swim well, but Dan helped me by pulling me along. It was my first time in Hawaii, and Hanauma Bay was truly beautiful; I was constantly amazed! The stunning blue sea, colorful fish, and the long-awaited sea turtles!! I got to see them come up for air right in front of me twice! So moving! They took a lot of photos, which I was able to save from Facebook! It was truly a satisfying tour! Next time, I would like to try diving!

今回、ハナウマ湾　ベテランガイド付きシュノーケリングツアー　＜シュノーケルマスク・送迎付き・日本語案内＞に友人と二人で参加させていただきました！もう一組の方たちが急遽キャンセルということで、貸し切りで楽しめました！ガイドのダンさんがとても面白く優しい方で、他のツアーより１０倍楽しめました気がします(笑)シュノーケル、ライフガード、足ひれ、ゴザ等必要な物は全て貸していただけるので、水着一枚で参加オッケーです！ 最初緊張していてうまく泳げなかった時も、ダンさんが手を引っ張って泳いでくれました。初めてのハワイだったのですが、ハナウマ湾はほんっとうに綺麗で、ずっと感動しっぱなしでした！綺麗なブルーの海、色とりどりの魚、そして念願のウミガメ！！２回も目の前で息継ぎするところを見れました！感動！写真もたくさんとっていただけて、Facebookから保存出来ました！本当に大満足のツアーでした！次回はダイビングをお願いしたいです！

AWESOME TOUR

Reviewed by: Kim

Nessa arrived to pick us up at hotel early. We were the only people on the shuttle. When we arrived at the boat we found out we were the only people on the tour!!! We were shocked they didn't cancel the tour. We had an AMAZING time. The crew was awesome!!! They were very attentive and helpful. We saw tons of turtles and got a ton of great pictures. We cannot say enough good things about this tour! It was a highlight of our trip to Oahu.

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

Fabulous

Reviewed by: Helen

From start to beginning, these guys were amazing. Their personalised service and knowledge of all that surrounded was second to none. We were a group of 7 and were all paid equal attention. The free sailing after playing with the turtles was just mind blowing. Will definitely use these guys when next in Hawaii and recommend to anyone. Brilliant !!!!

It was so much fun!!! 最高に楽しかったです！！！

Reviewed by: haseko

I used this for my honeymoon.

I was anxious because I'm not a good swimmer, but they kindly taught me, and I was able to enjoy it easily.

Above all, I had a great time thanks to Dan's fun talks. His Japanese is also very good.

I was able to see sea turtles up close, and there were so many beautiful fish that I was moved! I'm really glad I participated in this tour.

Also, Dan took a lot of pictures and uploaded them to Facebook, so I received many beautiful photos!

I heard that Dan also offers diving tours, so I think I'll try that next time! This is truly a recommended activity!

ハネムーンで利用しました。

私は泳ぎが得意でないので不安でしたが、すごく親切に教えて頂き、簡単に楽しむことが出来ました。

何より、ダンさんの楽しいトークでとても楽しい時間が過ごせました。
日本語もとっても上手です。

ウミガメも間近で見られたし、綺麗なお魚がたくさんいて感動しました！
このツアーに参加して本当に良かったです。

また、ダンさんさんがたくさん写真を撮ってくれてfacebookにアップしてくれるので、綺麗な写真がたくさん貰えます！

ダンさんはダイビングのツアーもやっているそうなので、次はそちらに挑戦してみようと思います！
本当にオススメのアクティビティです！

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

I love turtles

Reviewed by: Laulike

Vessel - was clean and in great condition. was nice to sit in the nets in front or on the main passenger holding.
guides/skipper - so lovely, friendly and informative!
snorkelling equipment - neat, clean
snacks and drinks - adequate snacks provided, resonably priced drinks for sale
snorkelling - Awesome for turtle lovers like me. I saw so may honu and a few dark coloured fish!! no colourful fish, so if that's what you're after, this isn't the tour for you.
overall - I came to see turtles and I saw turtles :) it was a grewat bonus to sail around the ocean for a while.

ハナウマ湾シュノーケリング　ベテラン日本語ガイドがご案内する少人数制ツアー　貸切プランあり＜半日＞

Turtle カメ

Reviewed by: 海好き

The tour guide, Mr. Dann, who has a Japanese wife, speaks fluent Japanese. Usually, there are about 4 to 8 people on the tour, but on the day we participated, it was just the two of us. After enjoying the beautiful sea on the Big Island, I honestly didn't have high expectations for Honolulu (sorry, Mr. Dann), but we were able to see turtles and were very satisfied. It was a bit scary for amateurs to keep swimming, but we were guided a little further out and could fully enjoy the ocean.

We swam for about an hour on our own, but for those who are not confident in their swimming skills, Dann will pull you along. The visibility on the day we went wasn't great, but I recommend it for anyone wanting to see beautiful waters in Honolulu. The package includes round-trip tickets to the beach, a snorkeling set, snacks, water, a mat, and management of valuables. Above all, you can download the photos taken with a GoPro for free on Facebook, so you don't need to bring a camera.

During the car ride to and from the location, he shared recommendations for delicious restaurants and other spots in Honolulu. Even if you can't swim, it's much prettier than Waikiki Beach, and just relaxing there is worth it! ☆

ツアコンは日本人の奥さんがいるMr.Dann、日本語ペラペラです。
いつもは4〜8人程いるそうですが、参加日は我々2人のみでした。
ハワイ島で綺麗な海を満喫したあとのホノルルでしたので、正直期待していませんでしたが(Mr.Dannごめんなさい)、カメにも会えましたし大満足でした。素人では泳ぎ続けるには怖い、少し沖の方まで案内してもらい海を満喫できました。
私達は自力で1時間程泳ぎましたが、泳ぎに自信のない方は、ダンが引っ張っていってくれるそうです。
行った日は透明度はイマイチでしたが、ホノルルで綺麗な海に行きたい方にはオススメです。
入口-海の往復乗車券、シュノーケルセット、お菓子、水、ゴザ、貴重品管理をしてくれます。なにより、GoProで撮影した写真を、Facebookで無料でダウンロードできるので、カメラも必要ありません。
行き帰りの車の中で、美味しいお店の話やその他ホノルルのオススメスポットを教えてくださいました。
泳げなくても、ワイキキビーチよりとても綺麗でぼーっとするだけでも価値ありです☆

This is our second time to join the sail. Again, it is great. We swam with turtles and saw lots of fish and big turtles. During the sail, we saw lots of dolphins. The sailing experience was exciting and great. The crews are nice. We will do it again next time when we come back!
