My dream has come true! 夢が叶った！

Reviewed by: なってぃ

I finally fulfilled my dream of swimming with dolphins! I was worried that the sea in December would be cold, but the weather was nice, and thanks to borrowing a wetsuit, I didn't feel cold at all. The crew spoke Japanese very well, which made me feel at ease.

The view from the boat while searching for dolphins was beautiful, with the green mountains and blue sea being absolutely stunning! With my heart racing, the time finally came to enter the water! Once in the sea, the crew dove down and brought up a starfish! Immediately, the photographer took pictures.

While we were doing this, I was told to look down, and when I did, I saw a pod of dolphins! I was so excited to see dolphins swimming so close and followed the pod. I encountered the dolphins multiple times, and I even got to see them jump out of the water, which was exhilarating the entire time!

I wanted to try stand-up paddleboarding during my free time, but due to the sea conditions, I couldn't, which was a bit disappointing. However, I did get to encounter a sea turtle, and I had a wonderful time!

The hamburgers made on the boat were delicious, and the photographer played the ukulele very well. The woman who danced the hula was also skilled, and there were many entertaining elements that kept us engaged.

At the end, we had photo opportunities at the helm, took pictures with the crew, and had a group photo with all participants, which was a lot of fun!

Since there were some people who got seasick, it might be a good idea for those who are anxious to take motion sickness medication for peace of mind.

ずっとイルカと泳ぎたいと思っていた夢が、やっと叶いました！
12月の海は冷たいかと心配していましたが、天気も良く、ウェットスーツを借りたおかげもあって寒さは感じませんでした。クルーの方が、日本語がお上手なので安心です。
イルカを見つけるまでの船からの景色も、とてもキレイで、山の緑と海のブルーが素晴らしかったです！
ドキドキしながら、いよいよ海に入る時が来ました！
海に入ると、クルーの方が潜ってスターフィッシュを取ってくれました！
すると、すかさずカメラマンの方が写真を撮ってくれました。
そうこうしていると、下を見て〜と言われ、下を見るとイルカの群れが！
こんなに近くを泳ぐイルカを見て興奮しながらイルカの群れについて行きました。
何度もイルカの群れに遭遇できたし、水上でイルカのジャンプも見れ、終始大興奮でした！
自由時間に、スタンドアップパドルに挑戦してみたいと思っていたのですが、海の状況で、できないとのことで、少し残念でした。
でも海ガメにも遭遇できとても楽しい時を過ごす事ができました！
そして、船上で作られたハンバーガーもおいしかったし、カメラマンのウクレレ演奏もお上手だし、フラを踊られた女性もお上手で、飽きさせない工夫がされていました。
最後は操縦席での写真撮影や、クルーの方達との写真撮影、参加者全員での写真撮影もあり、みんなで楽しむ事ができました！

船酔いされてる方がいたので、不安な方は酔い止めのお薬を飲まれた方が安心かもしれませんね。

It was a tour that I would like to apply for again! ♪ 次も申し込みたいと思うツアーでした♪

Reviewed by: かなぴぃ

I was able to swim! ^^

When I signed up, I hesitated. In the end, I decided to enroll to fulfill my partner's wish of "wanting to swim with dolphins."

Even with a life jacket on, I felt anxious. When I jumped in, my heart rate increased, and I couldn't breathe properly, so at first, I swam with my face mostly above water.

However, the crew was persistently encouraging, saying "Dive down, it's okay, it's okay," and after about five minutes, I managed to get my face in the water! (For someone who isn't good at swimming, those five minutes might be tough.)

I'm so grateful! Once I got my face in the water, it felt like a different world. There was a huge group of dolphins, probably around twenty. I was able to keep my face in the water longer because I wanted to see more. I knew I shouldn't move my fins, but out of fear, I was flailing them. However, realizing that the dolphins would swim away, I stopped moving my fins and just floated gently with the help of the life jacket.

I also got to see a sea turtle, and by that time, I was swimming at the front, sticking close to the crew.

This tour gave me a sense of security, knowing that they would help if anything happened. My enthusiasm to see the dolphins helped me learn to swim, and later, I found myself swimming without a life jacket on the beach. I'm so thankful.

I’ve decided to repeat this experience. This might be the first time I want to repeat an optional tour. The transportation to the Kahala Hotel (the meeting point was a five-minute walk from the hotel at Kahala Bridge) was also a nice touch.

泳げるようになっていました^^;

申込の際、迷いました。
最終的には相方の"イルカと泳ぎたい"という希望を叶えるため申込。

ライフジャケットをつけても不安。
飛び込んでも心拍数が上がって上手に息をすることができず、最初はほぼ顔出しで泳ぎました。

で、でも、クルーの方が粘り強くひつこいくらい「潜って潜って」「大丈夫大丈夫」と
言ってくださって、5分後には何とか顔に水をつけられるように！
（泳ぐのが苦手な人にとってはこの5分間はしょうがないかもしれません）

感謝です！顔に水をつけるとそこは上とは別世界。
20匹はいるであろうイルカの大群。
もっと見たいとずっと顔を水につけることができました。
フィンを動かしてはいけないとわかっていたのに怖さからばたつかせていたのですが、
イルカが逃げてしまうと知り、フィンは動かさずライフジャケットの力だけを
借りてそうっと浮かんでいました。

ウミガメも見ることができ、そのころにはクルーの方にくっついて先頭を
泳いでいる私。

このツアーには「何かあれば助けてくれる」という安心感がありました。
イルカを見たい、という熱意で泳げるようになり、その後、ビーチで
ライフジャケットもなく泳いでいる私がいました。感謝感謝です。

リピート決定。
オプショナルツアーでリピートしたいと思ったのははじめてかもしれません。
カハラホテル（集合はホテル徒歩5分のカハラブリッジ）への送迎もあったのも
よかったです。

A once-in-a-lifetime experience. 一生に一度の体験

Reviewed by: びびこ

This tour is full of Aloha hospitality. On the day I participated, I was lucky enough to encounter wild dolphins at two different points. The American crew was fantastic. The guide who swam with the dolphins was clear and kind in their instructions, and they were experienced in catering to each passenger's needs. I attended with a friend, but I noticed that they provided excellent care for families with children, which was appreciated. The guide's freediving underwater was artistic, almost like a dolphin! On the way back, they performed bright and beautiful prayer songs with sharp dancing.

For those who will be participating, I recommend taking measures against seasickness and bringing a waterproof outdoor jacket. I don’t get seasick, but quite a few people were feeling unwell and couldn’t enjoy the beautiful scenery of the boat trip, which was unfortunate to see. Additional investments to enhance your experience include seasickness medication, which is available at Japanese airports, and a $20 wristband that is introduced on the bus ride to the destination. Also, depending on where you sit on the boat, you may get splashed by the waves. Having a lightweight, water-resistant jacket would make your experience more comfortable.

アロハホスピタリティ満点のツアーです。私が参加した日は、ラッキーなことにポイント２ヶ所で野生のイルカと遭遇できました。アメリカ人のクルーも大当たりでした。イルカと泳ぐガイドもわかりやすく親切に案内してくれましたし、乗客の方それぞれにあった対応も慣れていて、私は友人との参加でしたが、家族連れには子供へのケアが厚く、ありがたい様子でした。水中でのガイドのフリーダイビングも芸術的で、まるでイルカみたいでした！帰りは明るくて祈りの歌が上手でキレッキレのダンスを披露してくれました。
これから参加される方には、酔い止め対策を取られること、Waterproofのアウトドアジャケットを持参されることをお薦めします。私は船酔いしないのですが、結構な方がダウンされていてせっかくの船旅の景色を楽しむことができず見ていて気の毒でした。体験を良くするための追加の投資は酔い止め薬は日本の空港でも売っていますし、往路のバスで$20のリストバンドが紹介されます。また船での移動は座る場所によって波しぶきがかかります。水を通さないタイプの薄手のジャケットがあると快適に過ごせると思います。

ウミガメシュノーケリング　ホロカイ・カタマラン号　高確率でウミガメに会えるタートルキャニオンへ！ソフトドリンク&スナック付き＜3時間／英語／ワイキキホテル発＞

Seasickness 船酔い

Reviewed by: hayashi

We participated as a couple. As soon as we exited the hotel and reached the beach, we saw the boat, so we arrived without any confusion. There were about 20 participants that day, but we were the only Japanese people.

The weather was nice, and it was great that we got to see sea turtles. However, during snorkeling, there was an incident where my wife's life jacket lost air. Since she couldn't swim, she was quite panicked. I waved to the guide on the boat, but they just smiled and waved back, thinking it was a simple greeting, and didn’t come to help. When I shouted "Help" loudly, a guide swimming nearby brought a float, and we managed to resolve the situation. Perhaps there was an explanation on how to call for help during the initial English guidance.

When we got back on the boat, I found that my life jacket was also about 70% deflated. I had checked how to inflate it and how to maintain the valve with the guide, so the equipment itself might have been faulty.

After snorkeling, we cruised towards Diamond Head. The waves were quite big, and I ended up feeling sick. When I asked the guide where the restroom was because I thought I might throw up, I was told, "Don't throw up in the restroom," so I had to hold it in. Eventually, I couldn't hold it anymore and ended up using a plastic bag.

There were other guests who also felt sick, but after applying lavender essential oil, they received a bucket that said "Let's Do It" and were encouraged with "Let's Do it." There were several people who were rescued from near drowning and others who felt unwell, but they were all Asian. The Western guests seemed to be having a great time, drinking alcohol on the boat. It might be a tour more suited for Westerners (laughs).

夫婦二人で参加しました。
ホテルからビーチに出るとすぐに船が見えたため、迷うことなく到着。当日は20人ほど参加していましたが、日本人は私たち二人だけでした。
天気が良く、ウミガメにも会えた点は良かったです。
しかし、シュノーケリング中、妻の救命胴衣から空気が抜けるハプニングが発生。妻は泳げなかったのでかなり焦りました。船にいるガイドに手を振ったのですが、単なるコミュニケーションと思ったのかニコニコ手を振りかえしてくるだけで助けてもらえず。「Help」と大きな声を上げたところ近くで泳いでいたガイドさんが浮き輪を持ってきて来てくれて事なきを得ました。もしかしたら、最初の英語のガイダンスのところで助けの呼び方などの説明があったのかもしれません。船に上がると私の救命胴衣も7割ほど空気が抜けていました。空気の入れ方、弁の保持の仕方等はガイドさんにチェックしてもらい実施していたので道具自体が良くなかったのかもしれません。
シュノーケリング後はダイヤモンドヘッドの方などをクルージング。結構波が大きく、今度は私の気分が悪くなってしまいました。トイレで吐こうと思いガイドさんにトイレの場所を聞くと、「トイレでは吐くな」と言われ我慢することに。その後、とうとう我慢ができずにビニール袋に戻しました。
他のお客さんも気分が悪くなった人はいましたが、ラベンダーのアロマオイルを塗られた後、「Let's Do It」と書かれたバケツをもらい、「Let's Do it」と言われていました。
溺れかかって助けられた人、気分の悪くなった人は複数人いましたが全てアジア人。西洋人は船上でお酒をがぶがぶ飲みとても楽しそうでした。西洋人向きのツアーなのかもしれません（笑）

It is a great experience doing the Underwater scooter. The guides were excellent making sure we are comfortable right from the beginning. It was a 1 to 1 guided adventure. The guides captured excellent pictures and videos of us individually and as as a couple with the beautiful fishes!. The plus thing is they do have all the snorkeling gear available for free so once you are done or you decide when your turn is you can do snorkeling.

Satisfaction. 満足

Reviewed by: 旦那1日目

A year after our wedding, we finally made it to Hawaii! And I got to meet dolphins for the first time, which I've always dreamed of!

We woke up early, and I thought I would definitely fall asleep on the bus, but I was too excited about seeing the dolphins to sleep at all. Once we arrived at the ocean and changed, we were ready to go to the spot—let's go!!!

The waves were a bit high today, which made me feel a little blue at first. But after a while, the captain said we could see dolphins, and all my worries disappeared! When we got into the water, there were supposedly only a few, but about ten dolphins came to greet us. I was strangely moved to see dolphins in person for the first time.

I'm so glad I bought an underwater camera—really glad (waiting for the development, haha). After enjoying that experience, we returned to the boat and headed to the snorkeling spot! On the way, we even saw a whale! The crew mentioned that it's rare to see them up close like that. We were super lucky!

When we arrived at the snorkeling spot and got in, unfortunately, the water was really murky, so it wasn't great for snorkeling. I have to deduct one star for that.

We quickly returned to the boat and had a cheeseburger for lunch! The taro buns were amazing—way better than anything from a regular shop!

That wrapped up the tour. I fell asleep on the bus, probably from all the swimming, and when I woke up, we were in Honolulu.

I got to meet dolphins, the cheeseburger was delicious, and the crew was all really nice. I definitely want to join again!

It was such a wonderful honeymoon memory!!!

ハネムーンで1年ぶりのハワイ！そして念願の初めてのイルカ！

今日は少し波が高めなのか、ちょっと気持ちがブルーになりかけちゃいました。
だけどしばらくしたらcaptainからイルカが見えるよの言葉で気持ち悪さも吹っ飛び！
いざ海に入ってみると、数は少ないらしいがちゃんとイルカちゃん達10匹くらい？がお出迎えしてくれました。
初めて生で見たイルカに妙に感動。
水中カメラ買っていって良かった〜、本当に良かった〜(現像待ち笑)
十分に堪能したら船に戻り今度はシュノーケリングスポットへ！その途中でクジラも見れました！クルーも言ってたけど、こんなに近くで見れることなんてないとのこと。めちゃくちゃラッキーでした！

早々に船に戻り、昼ごはんにチーズバーガー！タロイモのバンズ、最高でしたー！そこら辺の店よりもはるかに美味しかった！
これでツアーはおしまい。
バスに戻って泳いで疲れたのか即爆睡。気づいた頃にはホノルルでした。
イルカに会えたし、チーズバーガーも美味しいし、クルーはみんないい人だったし是非また参加したいです。

I was very satisfied! First, they gave us a wake-up call at 5 AM, which was kind of them. Since it was cold, they recommended renting a jacket and mentioned to bring the rental fee if we decided to use it. The pickup was at 5:55 AM from a location close to the hotel we stayed at. Bright and cheerful staff welcomed us, which was a relief. On the bus, they explained what was to come, and after arriving, we had a bathroom break because the restrooms on the boat were quite limited. Soon after, we boarded the boat, and the staff introduced themselves. Everyone was cheerful and made us feel excited. We prayed on the boat and threw flowers into the sea.

Once we reached the area where we could see dolphins, everyone jumped into the water, and after three attempts, we finally spotted a pod of dolphins in the distance! They kept getting closer, and there were more than ten of them! They swam right beneath us! Although we couldn't touch them, I was thrilled to see dolphins up close, something I never expected! After swimming with the dolphins, we had free time to enjoy snorkeling or slide down the slide they provided. After that, we had cheeseburgers, potato chips, and cold pineapple, which made me very happy. The staff danced the hula, enhancing the Hawaiian atmosphere, and it was a moment when I truly felt the essence of Hawaii. I would love to go again. The group photo at the end was a luxurious touch. Mahalo♪

満足でした！まず朝5時にモーニングコールをくださいました。親切です。寒いのでジャケットレンタルをオススメされ、もし使用する場合はレンタル料金を持ってきてくださいとのことでした。朝の5:55にわたし達が宿泊したホテルから近い場所でのピックアップです。明るい元気なお姉さん達がまず出迎えてくれ、ホッとしました。バスの中ではこれからの説明などをしてくれ、到着後は船のお手洗いは大変とのことでお手洗いタイムがありました。その後すぐに船にのり、スタッフさんの自己紹介。皆さん明るくてわくわく気分にしてくれます。船の上でおいのりをして海に花を投げました。
イルカが見える場所についてから、みんな一斉に海に飛び込むこと3回目でようやくいるかの群れを遠くに発見！！と思ったらどんどん近づいてきて、
10匹以上はいました！そしてなんと私たちの真下を悠々と泳いでます！触れる距離ではありませんでしたが、イルカをこんなに間近で見ることが出来るだなんて思ってもなかったので興奮してしまいました！イルカと泳いだ後は各自自由にシュノーケルを
楽しんだり、用意してくれた滑り台を滑ったりなどなど。その後はチーズバーガーを食べ、ポテトチップスを食べ、冷たいパインを食べて幸せでした。スタッフさんたちがフラダンスを踊って、ハワイ気分をもっと高めてくれたので、ハワイの実感が湧いた瞬間でした。またいきたいと思います。最後のグループごとで写真撮影も贅沢でした。mahalo♪

Then we headed to the dolphins' habitat, which took a bit of time ( .. ).
However, the content was packed with activities that kept us entertained ٩( 'ω' )و!
We sang songs together while offering flowers and praying,
and there were explanations on the bus to confirm safety precautions.
Then we started snorkeling with the wild dolphins (^O^).
A dedicated photographer took lots of wonderful pictures for us!
We brought our own waterproof camera, so we didn’t request their service,
but it seems you can get a USB with about 300 photos for $55 if paid in advance, or $60 if ordered later (^^).
After seeing the dolphins, we went snorkeling, and then there were boats and a slide for us to enjoy in the sea (*´罒`*).
We even got to eat hamburgers (♡´艸`).
And on top of that, they performed a hula dance for us!
It was a fun tour filled with laughter from start to finish ( ¨̮ ).
At the end, we took a group photo (^O^).
They send the pictures to your phone, which is a nice service!
If I go snorkeling with dolphins again, I will definitely choose this tour ( ¨̮ ).
*As a note, it can be cold on the boat and in the bus, so be sure to prepare a bath towel and a jacket!
Also, if you get motion sickness, it can ruin everything, so be sure to take motion sickness medication!!

Dolphins, sea turtles, and various other things♪ イルカ＆海ガメ＆その他諸々♪

Reviewed by: A＆I

During our honeymoon trip to Hawaii, we wanted to see wild dolphins and swim with them, so we decided to join this tour!

To sum it up, it was a very satisfying tour♪

We were able to swim with dolphins twice in the ocean, but unfortunately, both times the dolphins swam quite far below us, so we couldn't get as close as we had hoped. However, according to our guide, there are times when they are much smaller and even difficult to spot, so we were quite fortunate to see them clearly (sometimes they come very close to people). Well, since they are wild dolphins and not domesticated, it's all a matter of luck, and being able to enjoy that aspect is one of the charms of the tour.

Additionally, not only dolphins but also snorkeling at the sea turtle spot is included, so even if we weren't lucky with the dolphins, it was still okay! There are points where sea turtles are almost guaranteed to be present, and we were able to swim quite close to them, so much so that we had to avoid touching them (it seems that touching sea turtles in Hawaii can result in a fine)!

While the main focus is on snorkeling with dolphins and sea turtles as mentioned above, there are also other activities such as singing Hawaiian songs and throwing flowers to pray for a safe voyage, watching the crew's wonderful hula, enjoying paddleboarding and kayaking, sliding from the boat, and eating burgers. It's quite a packed tour, and combined with the friendliness and brightness of the crew, it guarantees a very enjoyable experience♪

Finally, to make the most of the tour, here are a few reminders. First, definitely take motion sickness medication. We were fine, but a few people looked unwell (the guide gives quite a bit of explanation about seasickness beforehand, which might have the opposite effect). Also, it's a good idea to bring local currency. They offer paid options on the bus heading to the ocean, such as wetsuit rentals ($5 per person), photo packages (we received about 600 photos of all participants on a USB), and motion sickness wristbands (around $20, effectiveness unknown).

And the most important thing: if you're participating in the morning, make sure to wake up properly! The departure is around 5 AM, so an early wake-up is required.

新婚旅行でハワイに行った際、野生のイルカが見たい、イルカと泳ぎたいと思って参加しました！

結果から言えば、かなり満足のいくツアーでした♪

海に入ってイルカと泳ぐことができたのは２回で、１度目も２度目もイルカが私達のかなり下の方を泳いでいたため、思ったほど近くを泳げなかったのは残念でしたが、ガイドさんの話ではもっと小さくしか見えない時や、そもそも視認することも難しい時もあるようなので、しっかりと見ることのできた私達はかなり恵まれた方だったのかなと思います（時によってはかなり人の近くに寄ってくることもあるみたいです）。まあそのへんは飼いならされているわけではなく、あくまで野生のイルカなので、運次第ということでしょうし、そういった点も含めて楽しむことができるのがツアーの魅力のひとつでもあります。

また、イルカだけでなく、海ガメポイントでもシュノーケリングできるので、万一イルカ運に恵まれなかった場合でも大丈夫！こちらはほぼ確実に海ガメがいるポイントがあるらしく、私達もかなり近くで海ガメと泳ぐことができ、むしろ近すぎて、下手に触らないように避けるぐらいでした（ハワイでは下手に海ガメに触ると罰金をとられるようです）！

そして、あくまでメインとしては上に書いたようなイルカ＆海ガメとのシュノーケリングですが、これ以外にも、航海の無事を祈ってハワイの歌を歌って花を投げたり、クルーのフラ（素晴らしい）を見たり、パドルボートやカヤック、ボートからの滑り台で楽しんだり、バーガーを食べたりと結構盛りだくさんのツアーですので、クルーの人のよさというか明るさも相まって、非常に楽しいツアーとなることは請け合いです♪

最後に、ツアーを最大限に楽しむためにも、いくつか注意喚起です。
まず、酔い止めは必ず飲みましょう。私達は大丈夫でしたが、数人は気分が悪そうにしていました（ガイドさんが事前にかなり船酔いに関する説明をするので、それがかえって逆効果になる可能性も）。
そして、一応現地通貨は持って行きましょう。ウェットスーツの有料レンタル（１人５ドル）や、写真（USBでもらえます。私達の時は全参加者のいろいろな写真含めて600枚ぐらいありました）の申込（５０ドル程度）、酔い止め用のリストバンド（２０ドルぐらい？効果のほどは不明）の販売など、海に向かうバスの中で有料オプションを受け付けています。
そしてこれが一番大切なことですが、朝参加の場合は、きちんと朝起きましょう！朝は５時台出発なので、かなり早起きが要求されます。

The sea bob had food attached to it, which attracted a lot of fish, and both of them were thrilled. It was my first experience too, and I was deeply moved by the clarity of the water and the cute fish! I definitely want to participate again!

However, we had to take a small boat to the diving point, and there was a waiting time of about 10 to 15 minutes while three people dove at a time. The boat was rocking quite a bit while anchored, so many people got seasick. I took motion sickness medication, so I was fine. I think even those who usually don’t get seasick should bring some along.

息子が大の魚好きで、毎回ハワイに行くとシュノーケルや潜水艦のツアーに参加していたんですが、今回はシーボブに参加しました。
７５歳の母と１０歳の息子がいたのでちょっと不安でしたが、ハワイの海中はとても素晴らしく、シーボブに餌が付いているので沢山のお魚たちが寄ってきてくれ、二人とも大はしゃぎでした。私も初体験でしたが海の透明感とかわいいお魚たちに触れて大感動！
また参加したいと思います！
ただ、潜るポイントまで小型の船で行き、三人ずつ１０～１５分潜っている間の待ち時間があり、停泊している船が結構揺れるので船酔い者続出でした。
私は酔い止めを飲んでいたので大丈夫でした。普段酔わない方も持って行った方が良いと思います。

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＞

Amazing! Even for first-timers, it's reassuring for valuables and wetsuits, etc. 最高！初めてでも安心　貴重品・ウェットスーツなど

Reviewed by: はわいありがとう

This was my first time snorkeling, and I was very anxious, but our guides, Chieko and Dan, were kind and made me feel very comfortable. Everyone snorkeled while wearing life jackets, so I felt secure even without swimming, which was a relief physically. This tour was the only one that promised underwater photos as a gift, and the photos were absolutely amazing!

I went in mid-November without a wetsuit. It was cold when I first entered the water, but I quickly warmed up. Everyone around me was wearing wetsuits, including our guides, Chieko and Dan, for sun protection. While having a wetsuit might be safer, it was fine without one, and I felt good. Renting one on the day was not possible.

I brought a waterproof case for valuables like my iPhone, but the guide provided a locked container for everyone to store their belongings, so I didn't end up using it. It's best to bring only the essentials, but it's safe to have tips and a mobile phone with you.

There was a changing room by the beach, and I changed before heading back.

シュノーケリングは初めて非常に不安でしたが、ガイドのちえこさん、Danが親切で非常に安心感がありました。
全員救命胴衣を付けたままシュノーケリングするので、泳がなくても勝手に浮かんでいられるので体力的にも安心でした。
水中写真のプレゼントを公言してあるのはこのツアーだけでした。
この写真が非常に素晴らしかったです！

11月中旬でウェットスーツなしでやりました。海に入った瞬間は寒かったですが、すぐに寒くなくなりました。周りの人は全員ウェットスーツつけてました。
ガイドのちえこさん、Danさんも日焼け防止につけてました。
ウェットスーツがあると無難かもしれませんが、なくても問題なくできますし、気持ちがよかったです。当日の貸し出しは不可能でした。

貴重品はiphoneなどを入れる防水ケースを持っていきましたが、ガイドさん持参の鍵付きコンテナに全員しまわせてくれるので使いませんでした。
必要最低限にすべきですが、チップ代や携帯電話などは持参しても安心です。

更衣室も海辺にあり、着替えてから帰ってきました。

野生のイルカウォッチング＆ウミガメシュノーケリングクルーズ　ジャンボスライダーやSUPも楽しめる！＜ランチ付き／ワイキキ＆コオリナ送迎／日本語または英語ガイド＞

Amazing! すごい！

Reviewed by: 稀勢の里

I was very moved because I was able to see both dolphins and sea turtles up close. I dove into the sea three times in total. The sea turtles were really close, it was amazing! There were about six of them. There were also many dolphins, and I got to see them jump.

I’m not great at swimming, but I managed. (When diving from the boat, there was pressure because people were waiting behind me, so I jumped in. But it was a bit scary. I ended up drinking a lot of seawater, but I was so moved that I didn’t care, and I floated back up on my own.)

I felt that it was very kind of them to call the hotel in the morning to check if I was awake. Moreover, the voice on the phone was refreshing and reassuring.

The new guide was on their first tour, so good luck to them!

If I had to say one thing, it was disappointing that there was only one paddleboard available, so I couldn’t try it! One group had taken it over. The hamburger was delicious, and I also enjoyed the potato chips. There were no fruits available.

イルカも海ガメもどちらも間近で見ることができたのでとても感動しました。計３回海にダイブ。海ガメは本当に間近にいてすごすぎです！６匹ぐらいいました。イルカもたくさんいてジャンプも見れました。
私は泳ぐとこが苦手でしたがなんとかなります。（船からのダイブは後ろに待っている人がいるのでプッレシャーで飛び込めました。でもちょっと怖い。海水も飲みまくりでしたが、感動でどうでもよくなりますし勝手に浮いてきます）
朝ホテルに電話を入れてくれて起きているか確認してくれる所もとても親切だなと感じました。しかもその電話の声がさわやかで安心します。
新人のガイドさんが初ガイドということでした、頑張って下さい！
１つ言うならば、パドルサーフィンが１個しかなかったのでできなかったことが残念！１組が占領していました。ハンバーガーも美味しかったですし、ポテトチップスも美味しくいただきました。フルーツはありませんでした。

野生のイルカウォッチング＆ウミガメシュノーケリングクルーズ　ジャンボスライダーやSUPも楽しめる！＜ランチ付き／ワイキキ＆コオリナ送迎／日本語または英語ガイド＞

I was able to meet wild dolphins and sea turtles! ☆ 野生のイルカとウミガメに会えました☆

Reviewed by: NAMI

I participated with a friend. I wanted to see wild dolphins, and I was truly moved not only by the dolphins but also by encountering sea turtles. We offered songs and flowers from the boat, wishing for safety, and then headed straight into the sea. Since we had experience with diving and snorkeling in Japan, we didn't have any particular issues. During the first dive, we only caught a glimpse of the dolphins for a moment, but during the second dive, after moving to a different spot, we were able to see a sea turtle up close, and there were about 15 dolphins swimming in a pod! On the boat, we enjoyed freshly grilled burgers, got dolphin tattoos, and the cheerful crew even danced the hula, making for an incredibly fun time. They also provided free drinking water, which I thought was a great way to prepare for the surprisingly exhausting snorkeling that left us thirsty.

On the way back, the bus had a temporary breakdown and took about an hour to repair before we could set off again. However, thanks to the staff member Mai, who kept us entertained with conversation until we reached our hotel in Honolulu, we managed to get there without too much trouble. I was a bit scared that the bus might break down again along the way, but now it’s a good memory.

This tour became the highlight of my trip. While luck seems to play a part, I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to meet wild dolphins!

友人と二人で参加しました。
野生のイルカを見たい！と思って参加しましたがイルカだけでなくウミガメにも出会えて本当に感動しました。
船上から安全を願って歌と花をささげ早速海へ。私たちはダイビングやシュノーケルを日本でやったことがあったので特に問題なかったです。1回目はほんの一瞬イルカが見えただけでしたが少し場所を移動した2回目はすぐ近くでウミガメを見ることができましたし、イルカも群れで15頭ほどいました♪船上ではその場で焼いたバーガーを食べたり、イルカのタトゥーを貼ってもらったり、そして愉快なクルーがフラを踊ってくれたりとテンション上がりまくりでとっても楽しい時間を過ごせました。自由に飲めるお水も置いてあり意外と体力を消耗し喉も渇くシュノーケルへの対策がなされていると思いました。
帰りのバスが一時故障し1時間ほど修理をし、再出発するというトラブルがありましたが、スタッフのマイさんがホノルルのホテルに着くまで話をして気を紛らわせて下さったお陰でなんとかホテルまで着きました。バスが途中でダメにならないかと怖い思いをしましたが、今となってはいい思い出です。
このツアーは今回の旅の中で一番の思い出になりました。運もあるようですが野生のイルカに会いたいは方にはオススメです‼︎

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

An absolutely wonderful time!

Reviewed by: Alison B

My fiancé and I went on the Snorkel and Sunset cruise the second week of November. The bus pick-up was extremely easy and allowed for worry-free drinks on the cruise.

The cruise was spectacular. The orientation was clear and made us both feel comfortable. The snorkel spot selected was stunning and quite safe feeling. We saw many tropical fish and even had a ray breeze past! We spotted a humpback whale breaching and so the captain took us on over for a closer look.

The Kalua pork was tasty for dinner and the crew went out of their way to make sure we were all satisfied. We were treated to a beautiful sunset and leisurely cruise back to harbor.

Overall satisfied ★ But is there one more step? おおむね満足★でもあと一歩？

Reviewed by: man

This was my first time in Hawaii for our honeymoon. My husband wanted to go snorkeling, so we chose this tour where we could swim with dolphins and enjoy snorkeling as well.

First, we were given flowers and had a touching moment of prayer together as we faced the sea. The main dolphin watching part was a bit intense; as soon as we arrived at the spot, we had to jump into the cold water without any warm-up or getting used to it, which made me a bit worried about having a heart attack! The experience of swimming with dolphins was different from what I imagined; instead of leisurely swimming alongside them, it felt more like a hurried attempt to catch a glimpse of the dolphins swimming below us while snorkeling. Since the dolphins are wild animals, it wasn't the relaxing experience I had hoped for.

The dolphin watching was over in an instant, and since some people didn't get to see them, we had a total of two watching sessions, but it felt like we were only in the water for about five minutes, which honestly left me wanting more. After that, we returned to the boat, but it was quite cold with the sea breeze, making it really uncomfortable until we reached the next snorkeling spot. I highly recommend wearing a thick hoodie and bringing a large towel.

The snorkeling afterward was satisfying because we got to see sea turtles up close, which was different from the main dolphin watching. However, the snorkeling time was relatively short, and it felt like it was over before we knew it. It wasn't a leisurely experience but more of a quick taste of it. After returning to the boat, we had a lunch that was labeled as BBQ, which turned out to be cheeseburgers. I had seen reviews about this beforehand, so I was prepared, but those expecting a BBQ might feel a bit misled. The taste was good, though.

Afterward, we enjoyed dancing the hula and taking photos, which was fun. However, in the covered area at the back, the deck leading to the second floor obstructed the view, and there was a noticeable difference in enthusiasm between the guests in front and those behind. Since we were seated at the back, I think some adjustments could be made for better visibility for everyone.

▼ Points of Concern
- The BBQ was misleading since I had an image of grilled meat; the cheeseburger label could cause confusion.
- Water was leaking from the air conditioning in the shuttle bus, soaking some guests.
- The photo data was quite expensive.
- The small boat made it feel like we had to be considerate of others during the move, and depending on the seat, the stairs blocked the view and sound of staff explanations and dances.
- There were no napkins or tissues provided for wiping hands after eating burgers and chips, which made things a bit difficult and the seats tended to get dirty.
- There was little consideration for those feeling cold or seasick; it would have been nice to have some towels or something prepared.

▼ Positive Aspects
- The moment of throwing flowers during the prayer was romantic.
- We got to see sea turtles up close.
- The music on the boat was lively.
- The temporary tattoo stickers were a nice touch.

For those who have participated in other tours or are of a more mature age, you might notice some issues with the facilities, timing, and service. If this were a monitor tour price, I would be satisfied, but at the regular price, I would like to see a bit more in terms of quality and time allocation.

I may have been a bit critical, but I’m really glad I was able to participate.

ハネムーンで初のハワイでした。旦那さんがシュノーケリングをしたいとの事で、イルカと泳げてシュノーケルも楽しめるこちらのツアーにしました。
まずお花を配られて海に向かって皆でのお祈りの時間は感動しました♪
メインのイルカウォッチングは、イルカがいる地点に着くと「今からすぐ行くよ！」という感じでそれまで一切準備運動や水に触れる事なくイキナリ冷たい海に飛び込まないといけないので、ちょっと心臓発作にならないか心配になりました；
メインのイルカと泳ぐツアーは少し想像と違っていて、イルカと泳ぐというよりはシュノーケルで真下を泳ぐイルカを急いで見る！みたいな少しせわしないものでした笑
イルカは野生で自然の生き物ですから、ゆっくり横で見れる～という感じではないのでもともとの私のイメージが少し期待しすぎたかもしれません＾＾；
イルカウォッチングは一瞬で終わってしまい、見れない方がいたので合計2回のウォッチングとなりましたが、海にいたのはものの5分程度？と思う程短かったので1回だけでは正直かなり物足りなかった気がします。。
その後船に戻りましたが、海風もあってかなり寒く……。次のシュノーケルの地点まで本当に寒くてツライ位でした；
参加される方はしっかり厚手のパーカと大き目のバスタオルは必須です。

その後のシュノーケリングは、メインのイルカウォッチングと違って海ガメを近くで見ながら泳ぐ事が出来て満足です♪
ただ、こちらもシュノーケルの時間が割と短く、もう終わりか～という感じでした。
ゆっくり楽しんだ！という時間ではなく、ちょっと体験！みたいな時間ですね。
船に戻ってからは、ＢＢＱという名のチーズバーガーの昼食時間。
ＢＢＱの件は事前に口コミを見ていたので、了承済みですがＢＢＱと思って参加される方は「これだけ？」となると思いますので少し過大表記しすぎかと…。
味はおいしいです。

その後は帰りまでフラを踊ったり、写真を撮ったりと盛り上げてくれるのは楽しかったです。
が、奥の屋根付きの所だと二階へのデッキが邪魔で全然見えず、前の客と後の客の温度差が…笑
こちらも奥の座席だったのでちょっと、もう少し皆がみやすい様に工夫が必要かと思います。

▼気になった点
・ＢＢＱは、焼き肉のイメージを持つのでチーズバーガーという表記が誤解がないのでは？
・送迎バスのクーラーから水が漏れていて、お客さんにすごい水掛かっていた
・写真データがあまりに高い
・小ぶりの船で、移動には他の人に気を使う感じだったのと、席によっては階段が邪魔でスタッフの説明やダンスなどが見えない＆聞こえない
・ハンバーガーやポテトチップスを食べるが手をふくものやティッシュもなく（数人に配ったら途中でなくなっちゃった、ごめんね～という感じ）ちょっと大変＆席が汚れがち
・さむがっている人や酔っている人には特に配慮がない（数枚でもタオルや何か用意していてもいいかな）

▼よかった点
・お祈りの時間で花を投げたのがロマンチック
・海ガメが近くで見れた
・海での音楽で盛り上がった
・タトゥーシールがちょっとうれしい

他のツアーなどに参加された経験のある方や割と大人の年齢の方だと設備面や時間、対応などが少し目につく所があると思います。モニターツアーでの価格なら納得♪ですが、正規の料金だともう少し充実度（時間の幅取り）がほしいかなと思います。

少し辛口でしたが、参加できたことはすごく良かったです。

BOB's Hawaii Underwater Scooter Adventure & Turtle Watching Tour

SO AWESOME, only wish it was longer

Reviewed by: Jon and Jeanne

Holy cow, if you can afford this, DO IT! Up close and personal with the fishes--you can pet them and everything. There is a food thingey attached to each sub scooter, so that's why they are coming right up to you, it's awesome.
Lots of turtles in the water too--we had one swim right next to us! Afterward, when on the boat, several others swam close around us.
The divers were all great guys to work with. Very good at their job, and very nice to everyone. A great crew. They also take photos and video of you with the sea life while you are down there--you can purchase these afterward. Plan on it--$50 for both photos and video. They are great, and you can't get as good with your own camera (at least I don't see how you would).
I also preferred this to snorkeling, because of being deeper in the water, the view is much different, yet there are no worries about breathing or anything--it's the awesomeness of being in a bubble! Absolutely fantastic adventure. Highly recommend.

I'm satisfied with the well-planned tour. よく練られたツアーで満足です

Reviewed by: なおまり

We were picked up at 5 AM, and after an 8-hour tour, we arrived at the hotel around 1:30 PM. The program was well-structured, and we had a very fulfilling time. It became a wonderful memory, and I highly recommend it.

First, we were greeted by the bus, where a cheerful Japanese crew member and a beautiful foreign photographer explained the day's itinerary. They also offered us the chance to purchase a USB with photos for $60. It wasn't a hard sell, so you could decline, and since I brought my underwater digital camera, I opted out. However, it seemed that quite a few people ended up purchasing it. Those who bought the USB received a wristband and were prioritized for photos, but the crew also took plenty of pictures of those who didn't buy it, so the USB was filled with photos of other participants. This was a bit embarrassing for those who didn't purchase it, and I wish they would reconsider that practice. By the way, the crew also took photos with my own underwater camera while on the boat. Wet suits are available for rent at $10, and you can get a refund if you don't end up wearing it, which is a nice system. I didn't rent one and just wore a long-sleeve rash guard on top. It was October, but it wasn't cold.

Onboard, the cheerful crew provided great hospitality, allowing everyone to enjoy a fun atmosphere. While cruising, we admired the mountains of West Oahu, spotted rainbows, and found dolphins that jumped in one after another. The water was quite deep and there were waves, but we followed the crew closely and were able to see many dolphins. It was a wonderful experience to see wild dolphins swimming freely in the coral reef waters. There were dozens of dolphins, swimming in groups of 5 to 10, and they came close to us repeatedly.

I felt satisfied when we returned to the boat, but a few people were seasick. I took anti-nausea medication before boarding, but even those who usually don’t get seasick might find it essential. For those prone to seasickness, sitting on the open deck of the boat seems to be a better option. At this time, we were given pineapple.

After that, we enjoyed three hula dance performances (the professional hula dancer was cute and wonderful), and we snorkeled for just under an hour at the turtle spot. We saw three sea turtles and many fish, making it a very enjoyable snorkeling experience. You can also kayak and slide into the sea from the boat. It was a return to childhood fun. Later, we had cheeseburgers (with purple taro buns) and Maui chips while enjoying the fantastic views from the boat. The burger was delicious against the backdrop of the beautiful scenery. Finally, we took a group photo with the crew and all participants, which they sent to us for free via email. By the way, water and lemonade were available for unlimited drinks on the boat.

Perhaps due to the large number of participants, there was no announcement for the hula lesson.

After getting off the boat, we went to the port's restroom (which is spacious and clean), and I recommend changing there quickly.

Overall, the tour was well-structured, and we got to see both dolphins and sea turtles perfectly. It was a highly satisfying experience, and I would love to participate again.

朝5時台にお迎え、ホテルについたのは13時半ごろの8時間長のツアーでしたが、よく練られたプログラム構成で、とても充実した時間でした。素晴らしい思い出となりました。お勧めします。
まず、バスのお迎えがあり、日本人クルーの元気なお姉さんと美人な外国人のカメラマンさんが車中、本日の行程について説明してくれ、写真が入ったＵＳＢ（60ドル）を購入するか、案内があります。決して押し売りではないので断ることもできますし、私は水中デジカメを持参したので断りましたが、かなりの人が購入しているようでした。ＵＳＢを購入する人はリストバンドをもらい、重点的に撮ってもらえるシステムのようですが、購入しない私たちの写真もバシバシ撮っていたので、ＵＳＢにはほかの参加者の写真が満載です。。これは、特に購入しないものにとっては、恥ずかしいし、やめてほしいと思いました。ちなみに船上では持参の水中デジカメでも、クルー自ら写真を撮ってくれました。ウエットスーツは10ドルでレンタルできますし、借りたけど実際に着なければ返金されるとのことで親切なシステムでした。私は借りずに上のみ長袖ラッシュガードを来ていました。10月でしたが寒くはなかったです。
船上では陽気なクルーがホスピタリティーをもってもてなしてくれ、みんなで楽しい気分で時間を過ごすことができました。クルージングをしながら西オアフの山々を眺め、虹をみつけ、イルカがみつかり、次々に飛び込みます。かなり深いですし、波もありますが、ここは必死でクルーについていき、たくさんのイルカをみることができました。サンゴ礁の海の中で自由に泳いでいる野生のイルカをみるのは、なんとも素敵な体験でした。イルカは数十頭いて、5-10頭で固まって泳いでいて、次々に近くにきました。
満足した気分で船にあがりましたが、何人かが船酔い・波酔いではいてました。私も吐き気止めを飲んで乗船しましたが、普段酔わない人でも、吐き気止めは必須かと思います。また、酔いやすい人は、船の中でもオープンな甲板に座るほうがよさそうです。このタイミングでパイナップルをもらいました。
その後、3曲フラダンスを踊ってくれ（プロのフラダンサーの女の子でかわいくて素敵でした）、ウミガメスポットで1時間弱シュノーケルしました。ウミガメは3匹、魚もたくさんいて、とても楽しいシュノーケルでした。また、カヤックや滑り台（船の上から海にとびこみます）もできます。童心にかえり、遊びました。その後、船上でチーズバーガー（タロイモの紫のパンズ）とマウイチップスを食べました。船上の素晴らしい景色を見ながらのバーガーはとてもおいしかったです。最後にクルーと参加者全員で写真をとり、これはメールで無料で送ってくれます。ちなみに船上では水とレモネードが飲み放題です。
参加者が多かったからか、フラレッスンは案内がありませんでした。
　船からおりたら港のトイレ（ひろくてきれいです）にいきますが、ここでササっと着替えることをお勧めします。
上記の流れになりますが、よく練られた構成で、イルカもウミガメもばっちり見えましたり、大満足のツアーでした。ぜひもう一度参加したいです。
