Sailing in Waikiki ワイキキをセイリング

Reviewed by: mama

I was looking for a snorkeling tour and chose this one that departs from the beach in Waikiki. It's very convenient as the meeting point is just a short walk from the hotel! We were the only Japanese participants, but the cheerful staff created a friendly atmosphere. Although there weren't many fish while snorkeling, I had the precious experience of swimming with a turtle, which became a great memory. After about an hour of snorkeling, we sailed for about an hour off the coast of Waikiki, encountering a pod of dolphins and enjoying a unique experience that is hard to find in Japan. My husband caught a cold and couldn't go snorkeling, but he seemed satisfied with the sailing. Since fins are not available for rent, it's better to bring your own if you have them. The reason I didn't give it five stars is that although we had photos taken and purchased them, the subjects were too dark due to backlighting. However, since we were well taken care of, I bought them as a tip.

シュノーケリングできるツアーを探していたところ、ワイキキの浜辺から出発できるこちらのツアーを選びました。移動時間をかけずにホテルから歩いてすぐの集合場所でとても楽ちん！日本人の参加者は自分たちだけだったが、陽気なスタッフでなごやかな雰囲気で過ごすことができました。シュノーケルは魚はあまりいなかったが、カメと一緒に泳ぐという貴重な体験ができてよい思い出になりました。。１時間程のシュノーケルの後、ワイキキの沖を１時間ほどヨットでセーリングをし、イルカの群れと遭遇したり日本ではなかなか体験できない時間を過ごし寄港。主人は風邪をひいてしまいシュノーケリングはできなかったが、セーリングを楽しめて満足の様子でした。フィンはレンタルできないので持っている人は持参したほうがよいです。星５ではないのは、写真をとってもらい購入したのですが、逆光で人物が真っ暗だった。でも、よくしてもらったので、チップ代わりに購入しました。

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.

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.

Reviewed by: vanilla

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。

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.

Amazing Trip!

Reviewed by: Cmaher55

*Written by the teenager
My parents and I went on this snorkel trip as kind of a last minute thing and it was absolutely amazing. There is usually about 25 people on the boat but we got lucky and were aboard the boat with just one other family of three, also with a teenager. The snorkeling spot is perfect! I would definitely recommend bringing fins, they aren't provided or required but your experience will be much better with them. There are lots of fish but not a huge variety. The main thing is the turtles and there's plenty of those! They chill at the bottom and occasionally come up for air. If you have fins you can dive down about 15 feet and be near them. It's incredible being face to face with a turtle. The boat provides you with fun noodles if you would like to float at the top and look and that helped out the people who didn't bring fins. They also have one guy out there diving with you and keeping an eye on things which makes you feel really safe while snorkeling. After about 45 mins-hour, we got back on the boat and ate some sandwiches. There's drinks for sale as well. We then went on an hour long sail pretty far out there. If you don't mind getting wet you can sit or lay across the nets in the front and it's really fun. If you have younger kids or aren't comfortable in the water then I think you'll need to bring your own lifejacket. I'm sure they probably had them someplace on the boat but they weren't given to you and you don't really need them. All in all the trip was extremely fun and well worth the price ( which is better than any others we could find). Would definitely recommend this and we might even do it again before leaving for home.

The Turtles Invite You to Their Party

Reviewed by: Marisa

As soon as I walked on to the Spirit of Aloha boat, I knew it was going to be a good time. It wasn't too full, and it allowed for more room and comfort on the ride. Captain Dustin gave us a run down of the tour, and gave us free reign of the boat (less the Captain's chair of course). Masa helped us with our gear and Brad swam out to the snorkel spot with us. Yes, Brad knows where the turtles are. We saw tons of turtles, all with big personalities that were bigger than there shells. We twice got to see a turtle swim up to the surface! I never expected to see such humongous turtles. I named one of them Soldier because he was missing one flipper and the shell was pretty damaged, but he swam quite happily. I saw a pair of turtles even hold fins like buddies. It was too cute. The water was perfect and it was a beautiful day. We got back on the boat and Brad helped us with lunch. I highly recommend this snorkel cruise!

This time, we traveled with our children, but we participated in this tour as a couple. It was fun to see sea turtles up close and observe tropical fish. If you have children who can swim, around elementary school age, they can participate with confidence. (In fact, there were also children who appeared to be in elementary school with us.) The guide spoke in English and was very kind.

今回は子供たちも一緒の旅行だったのですが、このツアーは夫婦で参加しました。ウミガメが本当に近くにいて、熱帯魚も観る事ができて楽しかったです。小学生くらいの泳げるお子さんなら安心して参加できます。（現に、小学生らしき子供たちも一緒でした）ガイドさんは英語でお話しされていましたが、とても優しかったです。

Perfect trip. Short ride out to snorkel, but diverted a few minutes to see dolphins. Snorkeling was great. Instructions for first timers, but we had Done before. My 14 & 17 year olds loved it. Swamnright up to turtles and fish. Hope my underwater pics come out. After about 45 minutes, came aboard for quick lunch and drinks. Then took about an hours sail out past diamond head. Very relaxing on the nets but you will get soaked. Also, I read one review about being uncomfortable and unable to sit in nets??? There were plenty of places to sit elsewhere and out of the spray. Sounds like they may have been on the wrong boat. Anyway, I highly recommend and will maybe do a sunset cruise next time. This 50+ from Georgia had a blast.
