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

Great crew and a wonderful experience

Reviewed by: MIDIMan

We had a blast with the Holokai Catamaran. The crew was fantastic, and we saw lots of marine life including whales, turtles, and even an octopus. My only regret is that we didn't have time to book a sunset cruise on this trip.

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）

海釣り体験　ホノルル沖でフィッシングクルーズ　大物狙いの本格海釣り！ベテランクルーのサポートで安心　釣り用具付き＜混載／半日～1日／ケワロ湾＞

Unfortunately, I didn't catch a single fish. 残念ながら一匹も釣れませんでした

Reviewed by: ボウズ

There were a total of five people on the boat, including three Americans besides my son and me. We first used cards to determine the order, and the rule was to reel in fish in that order when we got a bite. However, after about four hours of running offshore, we ended up with no bites at all. The crew said, "This kind of day happens," but I felt like we wasted half a day of our trip to Hawaii, and the mental damage was significant.

私と息子以外に、アメリカ人3人を加えた合計5人の混載でした。最初にトランプを使って順番を決めて、竿に当たりがきたらその順番で釣り上げていくというルールなのですが、4時間くらい沖を走って結局一匹も当たりがありませんでした。クルーは「（英語）こんな日もある」と言っていましたが、ハワイ旅行の半日を無駄にしてしまった感じで、精神的ダメージが大きい。

Water surface 水面

Reviewed by: どんどん

I participated in the first morning flight at 9:00. There was no wind, and the water surface was calm. Is the ocean in Waikiki really this beautiful? The color of the sea changes as you go further. I was able to see turtles while snorkeling—three of them, large, medium, and small. The sailing after snorkeling was also refreshing! I participate every time, and each time brings a different sense of wonder.

9:00発の朝一便で参加しました
風が無く水面も穏やか。ワイキキってこんなに海きれいだったけ？な程進むごとに海の色が変わります。スノーケルも亀ちゃんと見れます。大中小の3匹見れました。スノーケル後のセイリングも気持ちいい！！毎回参加してますが毎回違った感動があります

I swam with a honu! ホヌと一緒に泳ぎました！

Reviewed by: のん吉

There were six participants in total, including my husband and me, along with four foreigners. The snorkeling was at a depth of about 7 to 8 meters. I wore a 2mm wetsuit, and the water felt quite cold, but it was an incredibly happy experience to swim alongside the large honu (sea turtles) while leisurely gliding through the water. In addition to the honu, I was surrounded by many black fish. My husband, who is not a strong swimmer, enjoyed sailing on the boat, but he was satisfied because he could also see the honu coming up for air from the boat! The staff was kind and friendly as well.

参加者は私たち夫婦と外国の方４名の計６名。シュノーケリングは水深7～8Ｍ程のところでしょうか。私は２ミリのウエット着用でしたがけっこう水は冷たくかんじましたが、スイスイの～んびり泳ぐ大きなホヌと一緒に泳くことができとっても幸せな体験でした。ホヌのほかにたくさんの黒い魚にも囲まれました。泳ぎのニガテな主人は船上でセイリングを楽しむだけでしたが、ホヌも息継ぎのために時々顔をだすので船の上からでもみることができ満足！とのこと。スタッフも親切で良い方でした。

Honeymoon ハネムーン

Reviewed by: おぶひ

I made a reservation based on my husband's only hope of going trolling. There were various options, but I chose this one because it was cheaper compared to others and had good reviews.

After participating, my impression is that knowing some English would have made it even more enjoyable. The crew members didn't speak Japanese, so they explained everything in fast-paced English. Fortunately, there was a considerate foreign participant who helped explain things clearly later on.

We needed to prepare our own drinks and food. I only brought one drink and a cereal bar, so I wished I had brought more.

There were five participants on our boat. First, we got on the boat and used cards to determine the order. When a fish bites, we reel it in according to that order. We set off and headed about an hour out to sea. The boat rocked quite a bit, so taking motion sickness medication is definitely recommended. While heading out, we did some bait fishing and caught two fish that seemed to be around 40 centimeters long. I was second in line, so I caught the second fish.

For the third catch, we hooked a marlin that was about 150 centimeters long. However, that was the end of it. My husband was fourth in line and didn't catch anything.

I don't expect to catch a big fish, but I wish they could ensure that all participants could catch something at least during the bait fishing. Spending nearly a whole day of our precious honeymoon on something uncertain for 28,000 yen... whether it's worth it varies from person to person, but I somehow enjoyed it, so I guess it was okay.

主人のトローリングがしたいとの唯一希望により、予約しました。色々なところがありましたが、こちらを選んだのは、他と比べて値段が安かったことと、口コミの評価がよかったから。

参加してみての感想は、まず英語が多少出来た方が更に楽しめただろうということ。乗組員の方は日本語なんて出来ないから、普通に早口の英語で説明されます。同乗した方の中に気を使ってくれる外国人の方がおられたので、後で分かりやすく説明してくれたので助かりました。
飲み物食べ物は各自で準備が必要でした。飲み物１本とシリアルバーしか持って行ってなかったので、もっと持っていけばよかったなと思いました。

今回私達の船には5人の参加者がいました。まず船にのりトランプを使って順番を決めます。竿に当たりがきたらその順番で釣り上げていくため。
出発してまず船で1時間程度沖に出ます。結構な揺れ加減なので酔い止めを飲んだ方が絶対にいーです。沖に出ながらベイト釣り。40センチぐらいのハマチらしき魚を2匹釣りました。私は順番が2番目だったので2匹目の魚を釣りました。
３匹目に150センチぐらいのカジキが釣れました。でも、それで終了。旦那は4番目だった為、何も釣り上げられず(^^;

大物を釣らせてとは言わないけれど、せめてベイト釣りで参加者全員が釣り上げられるようにしてくれたら、もっといーのになと思いました。
貴重なハネムーンの１日をほぼ使って、釣れるかどうかわからないことに28000円…する価値があるのかどーかは人それぞれだと思いますが、私は何だかんだ楽しめたので、まぁよかったかな(>_<)

When I was looking for a snorkeling trip online Veltra's website came up. They had great reviews regarding their trips. So I booked a trip for the last day of our vacation, and I couldn't have ended our vacation any better. Our guides took us out to turtle canyon and let us snorkel in the water exploring the reef. We even were able to see a few sea turtles. Our favorite part was after you get done snorkeling, they take you out for a quick little sailing trip around the bay. I would definitely book another trip through these guys.
