This was our first experience with snorkeling...but I was convinced that we could not go to Oahu and not see the ocean life for ourselves. Dan and Cheiko were great.
We paid for a group of 5 (3 adult, 2 children). We had to pay the full price to have my grandmother brought along, even though she was not participating. With that said it was suppose to be just our small group to the two guides. This was especially important to me as the two children could swim and the adults in our group could NOT swim well. It turned out two others joined us, so Chieko was mostly their guide and Dan was with the four of us. It was raining that day, so my grandmother was not able to come observe (so paid and not used). Although I was not expecting a refund for her experience necessarily, I was a little put off that we were then charged extra for the optional wet suits to keep us warm (given the weather that day). That really is the only thing I would improve, but given the nature of the business, that may be challenging.
Otherwise, it was FANTASTIC! Dan was amazingly patient and made the experience great. The children, although swimmers, panicked with the snorkel equipment and sea animals. The adult limited swimmers had a blast! Even on a dreary, rainy day. LOL! they took awesome pictures that we were easily able to download from their social media page, so one less thing to worry about doing especially given first time out. I would definitely recommend this experience no matter what skill level, it will not disappoint.
Hi guys, hope we see you again on a nice sunny day. Dan and Chieko.

Dear Masataka, thank you for participating in the tour with Blue Hawaii Divers! It was a bit chilly, but I’m very glad to hear that you enjoyed Hanauma Bay. It was great that you got to see and swim with the turtles. Please come back to Hawaii again with your partner. We look forward to seeing you. Thank you. Mahalo!!

I used the service in July 2016. Hanauma Bay was as beautiful as rumored, and the guide was friendly, with solid safety measures in place, making me feel secure and allowing me to relax and enjoy snorkeling. The life jackets were also comfortable to wear. Personally, I appreciated that many photos were taken, which was great, but I later realized that the system was to download the ones uploaded to Facebook, and since I didn't want to be featured, that was a bit unpleasant. Overall, I had a very good experience using the service.
2016年7月に利用させていただきました。ハナウマ灣は噂どおり美しく、ガイドの方はフレンドリー、安全対策もしっかりとしていて頼りがいがあり、リラックスしてシュノーケリングを楽しむことができました。ライフジャケットがつけ心地のよいものなのもよかったです。個人的な感覚ですが、写真をたくさん撮ってくださり、それはとてもよかったのですが、Facebookにアップしたものをダウンロードして受け取るシステムだったことをあとから理解したので、載りたくなかったので、それは少し嫌でした。総合的には利用してとてもよかったです。
Thank you for participating in our tour. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed it. However, I apologize for the issue regarding the photos on Facebook. Since few customers bring underwater cameras, we started this service to provide photos for everyone, and we use Facebook as a simple way to share them. Sometimes, there are guests who prefer not to have their photos taken, and we try to be careful not to include them, but it seems that I did not explain this well that day. I should have clarified it at the beginning, and I am truly sorry for any discomfort it caused.
Please don’t let this discourage you, and we sincerely hope to see you again on our tour when you visit Hawaii. Thank you very much. Mahalo!
この度は私たちのツアーにご参加いただき、ありがとうございます。ツアーを楽しんでいただけたとの事、嬉しく思います。ですが、Facebookでのお写真の件は申し訳ありませんでした。水中カメラを持ってくるお客様が少ないので皆様のためにお写真をと思い始めたサービスで、簡単にお写真を見ていただく方法として私たちはファイスブックを利用させていただいております。時々お写真は撮ってほしくないととおっしゃる方がいらっしゃいますので、そんな時はその方が写らないように気をつけてはいるのですが、きっとその日は私の説明不足だったのですね。最初に説明しておけばよかったのですが、嫌な思いをさせてしまい、本当にごめんなさいね。
これに懲りず、ぜひまたハワイにお越しの際にはツアーでお会いできます事を心より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 experience.
This time there were waves, and many people got seasick. Thank you to the crew for handling the situation.
Unfortunately, despite the captain's search efforts, we weren't able to see any dolphins. Last time, we were able to see dolphins multiple times... But it's nature, so it can't be helped. However, the ukulele live performance and dance on board were very lovely.
I look forward to the next time!! (^^) Thank you! (The next time is undecided...)
二回目目の体験でした。
今回はうねりがあり、船酔いの方が続出でした。
アロハを処理するクルーの皆さん、ご苦労様でした。
キャプテンの捜索努力も実らず、イルカに会うことはできませんでした。
前回は何回もイルカと会うことができたのですが・・
自然相手ですから仕方ないですね。
でも、船上でのウクレレライブとダンスはとても素敵でした。
次回に期待します!!(^^)
ありがとうございました!

I was anxious about whether I would get to see dolphins, but I was very happy to encounter not only many dolphins but also a whale! Since it was January, it was so cold that I had to wear a wetsuit to enter the sea, so I thought it would be good if the rental fee for the wetsuit, which is $10, was included from the start. The water was very clear, and I also got to see beautiful fish. From the boat, we even spotted a sea turtle!
After meeting the dolphins, we enjoyed activities like slides and snorkeling, making the most of our time in the ocean! For lunch, we had delicious cheeseburgers made by the captain! We all had a great time singing and dancing together, and the staff really made the experience lively and fun. Since I went to Hawaii for my honeymoon, I wanted to participate in something memorable, and I'm glad I did!
Lastly, I paid $60 for the photos, but I was a little sad that there were only two types of photos from underwater ( ; ; ) I wish they had offered a bit more variety (laughs).
イルカに会えるか不安でしたが‥実際にたくさんのイルカにはもちろんのこと。クジラにも出会えてとても嬉しかったです!!1月なのでとてもウェットスーツを着なければ海に入れない寒さでしたので、料金の中に最初からウェットスーツレンタル代の10ドル込みで良いのでは?!と思いました。海の中はとても透き通っており、綺麗な魚にも出会えました。船の上からはウミガメにも出会えました*
イルカに会った後は滑り台やsap等のアクティビィティも行え、海遊びを堪能できました!!
お昼ご飯はキャプテン手作りのチーズバーガー、美味しかったです!!みんなで楽しく歌ったり、ダンスをしたり、
スタッフの方々がとても盛り上げて下さり、とっても楽しい時間が過ごせました。今回、ハネムーンでハワイに行きましたので、何か思い出に残る体験がしたいと!思いから参加しました。参加して良かったです♡
最後に‥写真代60ドルを払ったのですが‥海の中の写真が2パターンのみというのが少し悲しかったです( ; ; )もう少しアピールをすればよかったです(笑)

My husband and I participated with our 3.6-year-old. As per the information provided, we brought towels, warm clothing, and motion sickness medication, and boarded the bus without a changing area (the wet suit rental didn't fit). I was worried about getting seasick and snorkeling in deep water for the first time, but the care from the staff completely alleviated my concerns! They said the hamburger was amazing. We swam with dolphins and fish, and also saw a humpback whale and a turtle. I was moved to hear the dolphins' voices in the video! We also enjoyed the slide, trampoline, and stand-up paddleboarding, so it was definitely a fantastic experience!
小3.6年と夫が参加しました。情報があったとおり、タオル、防寒着、酔い止め持参して、着替え場所無しでそのままバスにのりました。(ウェットレンタルはサイズ合いません)
酔いやすいのと、初めて深い海でのシュノーケルが不安でしたが、それを吹き飛ばすスタッフさんのケアにに大満足!!ハンバーガー最高と言ってました。イルカ、魚と泳げ、ザトウクジラとカメも見れました。ビデオに、イルカの声が入ってることにも感動!!滑り台、トランポリン、SUPもでき、大満喫間違い無しです!

I was worried because it was the rainy season, but the water clarity was the best during the trip, and I was able to see dolphins right in front of me.
Above all, I had a great time from the bus ride there to the return trip. The staff were kind and attentive, yet had a relaxed vibe that suited us perfectly. There were many foreign tourists as well, which really made it feel like we were in Hawaii! It was truly enjoyable.
雨期ということもあり心配していましたが、海の透明度も旅の中で1番良くイルカを目の前で見ることができました。
そしてなにより、行きのバスから帰りまで、ずっと楽しかったです。
スタッフさんが優しいし、丁寧なのに、ある程度ゆるい感じが私達にはぴったりでした。他のツアー客も外国人が多く、ハワイに来てる!って感じで本当に楽しかったです。

I couldn't see the dolphins, and although I was supposed to eat a hamburger on the boat, there weren't enough, so I ended up eating at the port after getting off the boat. We didn't have many photos of ourselves from the purchase, and I felt like I missed out.
イルカには会えず、船上でハンバーガーを食べれることになっていましたが、数がたりないということで、船をおりてから港で食べました。購入した写真も自分たちの写真はあまりなく、損した気分になりました。

I participated in a long-awaited tour to swim with dolphins during my trip to Hawaii. I have snorkeled a few times before, but swimming with wild dolphins was a first for me, and it was truly moving.
The weather was nice, but since it was February, it was a bit cold even with a rented wetsuit. I think it's a good idea to prepare for warmth and take motion sickness medication.
On this tour, I was lucky enough to see not only dolphins but also whales and sea turtles. The staff on the boat made it really fun with music and hula dance shows, so I had a great time. It became a wonderful memory of my time in Hawaii!
I definitely want to participate again the next time I come to Hawaii.
今回のハワイ旅行で念願のイルカと泳ぐツアーに参加しました。シュノーケリングは今までに何度かしたことはありますが、野生のイルカと泳ぐのは初めてだったので、とても感動しました。
天気は良かったですが、2月だったのでウエットスーツをレンタルしても少し寒かったです。
防寒と酔い止め対策は確りとしておいたほうが良いと思います。
今回のツアーでは運良くイルカだけでなく、クジラやウミガメも見ることができたし、船の中では音楽やフラダンスのショーでスタッフの方々が楽しく盛り上げてくれたので本当に楽しかったです。ハワイでの良い思い出になりました‼
次にハワイへ来るときも是非参加したいと思います。

This was a great trip to go on. The check-in went smooth and the staff were friendly. The ocean was rough but the boat was so stable that I did not even get sea sick. While we were not able to go snorkeling because of this, we saw a whale and lots of dolphins! The morning sunshine made for a beautiful backdrop to the Waianae coastline. Ocean Joy is environmentally friendly to the dolphins and we normally would get to snorkel- just not with the dolphins since it disturbs them.
Our photographer gave everyone a 50% discount on our normally $40 photo package and the photos turned out great! We appreciated the treatment of the crew and everyone had fun even though we did not snorkel. Drinks and lunch were served and everything was tasty. I had fun and look forward to going with this crew again someday. Thanks to Veltra for a smooth confirmation process. It could not have been easier to book a fun outing.

The crew was very cheerful, and I never felt bored even when participating alone. I did suffer a bit from seasickness due to strong winds that threatened the event, but joining the tour was definitely the right choice. If you're participating in January, I strongly recommend bringing a thick windbreaker, as just renting a wetsuit for a fee won't be enough to prevent freezing on the boat after the first snorkeling session. Additionally, motion sickness medication is essential, especially for children.
クルー皆さんが非常に陽気で、ひとりで参加しても退屈することはありませんでした。開催が危ぶまれるほどの強風の影響で多少船酔いに苦しみましたが、ツアーに参加したことは正解でした。1月参加の場合は、有料のウェットスーツを借りたぐらいでは、1回目にシュノーケリングした後に船上で凍える羽目になるので、厚手のウインドブレーカー等を持参することを強くおすすめします。加えて酔い止めの薬は必須です。(特にお子様)
