Our first time on a catamaran tour in Hawaii. We saw fish, turtles and had a fantastic time. The crew were helpful, professional and fun. Highly recommend the Moana Sailing Company!

ウミガメシュノーケリング ウミガメとの遭遇率が高い、ワイキキ沖のタートルキャニオンでシュノーケリング!<英語スタッフ/ワイキキ発>

Easy to find location, English only. わかりやすい場所、英語のみ。

Reviewed by: M.K.O

The Prius departs from a location next to the Waikiki Hotel, which is easy to find and has relatively good security.

The terms and conditions are in English and can be read via a QR code, but you can easily translate them using a translation function.

There were no Japanese people present, but there are gestures during the explanations, so it works out fine.

I think it's recommended for those who want to experience a non-daily life without Japanese people around.

わかりやすい場所で治安も良いほうです。

規約書はQRコードで読み込むタイプなので、英語ですが翻訳機能で和訳すれば問題ありません。

英語のみ日本人はいませんでしたが、説明時にジェスチャーがあるのでなんとかなります。

日本人がいない非日常を味わいたい方にはお勧めだと思います。

Good experience!

Reviewed by: Morning snorkeler

Very good trip. Crew was very knowledgeable while at the same time very relaxed. Put everyone at ease, regardless of experience level. Just the right size boat/group size.
Wonderful to be out on the water; we saw a couple of turtles on the way out and a couple more while snorkeling, as well as a variety of fish. Would recommend this excursion to others.

If I could afford to come back to Hawai’i I would definitely rebook this experience ! 10/10

Reviewed by: Jaelyn B

Great experience! The crew were amazing and super helpful pointing out the spots were the turtles were. It is a smaller boat which creates a more personal atmosphere, but we still had a lot of room onboard plus we got to sit on the net. Again, big mahalo to the crew! We got to surf a few waves on the boat lol. 10/10 highly recommend.

As others have mentioned, the boat arrived more than 10 minutes late for check-in. Even with non-English speakers present, there was no effort to speak slowly or accommodate them; all explanations were given in English.

We did get to see sea turtles, but it seemed like there weren't many that day, as we only encountered a couple of them coming up to the surface a few times.

他の方の書き込み通り、集合時間より10分以上遅れて船の方が出てきてチェックインの開始でした。

Waikiki Snorkel with Turtles Cruise with Beers & Cocktails - Ke Kai Catamaran

Not worth it

Reviewed by: Neil

Very limited instruction was given into how to use the mask and snorkel. Mine was all twisted up and none of the staff provided any assistance.

The reef area is choppy and murky making it very difficult to see. There were 4 other boats there so the area was quite crowded. We saw 1 turtle and a few fish. Pretty disappointing.

If you are looking for a magical reef experience then I suggest go somewhere else like the Great Barrier Reef in Australia.

Back on the boat we were offered 1 drink only even though the tour says 3 alcoholic drinks are provided.

Wouldn't recommend.

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

This tour is a lot of fun as you can really feel like you're abroad, with all the other guests being foreigners. On the day of the tour, we were told it would be the best day ever, and when we arrived, we saw 5 to 6 turtles sleeping on the ocean floor, which was a sight I had never seen before. Of course, there were also many turtles swimming around, and during snorkeling, it was filled with turtles. I was surprised to see so many turtles in Waikiki.

After snorkeling, we enjoyed a cruise while listening to famous international songs, taking in views of Waikiki hotels and Diamond Head. We raised the sails and sped up, enjoying a leisurely time with a pleasant breeze.

Don't forget to bring tips!

私たち以外全て外国人のお客様なので、海外にいることを感じられ、とても楽しめるツアーです。当日、今日は最高の一日になる、との説明があり、期待して行くと、カメが海底でくっついて5~6匹寝ており、こんな光景は初めてでした。勿論、泳いでいるカメも何匹もいて、シュノーケル最中はカメだらけでした。こんなにもワイキキにカメがいるとは驚きでした。
シュノーケル後は、海外の有名な曲を聴きながら、ワイキキのホテルやダイヤモンドヘッドを眺めながらのクルージング。帆を上げてスピードアップをしながら、心地よい風と共にゆっくり過ごしました。
チップを忘れないで持っていって下さい。

Awesome tour!!

Reviewed by: Luis

This was a very cool tour! This was my friends and I first time visiting Hawaii and this tour made it very memorable for us! It was a lot of fun sitting on the net and getting splashed by the waves. The staff was super friendly and amazing. We got to see sea turtles and other marine life. Only downside is that there are other tour boats in the same location. So there's about a hundred people snorkeling in the water and it gets crowded super fast. People bumping and pushing each other or kicking each other in the water. Kinda felt like the scene in titanic lol. Other than that, it was a very cool tour! I'll definitely do it again when I plan my next trip!
I also recomend you bring a GoPro camera to take videos and photos.

  • A sea turtle came up for air right next to me.

Waikiki Sea Turtle Snorkel Tour with One Drink | 2-Hour Morning Adventure aboard Moana Catamaran

Once in a lifetime experience

Reviewed by: Katherine

We booked a family snorkeling with turtles experience on the Moana Catamaran, and the crew ensured that we had an exceptional experience. Anthony, the captain, was personable and informative. He was happy to answer a LOT of questions, and provided insight into Hawaiian culture throughout the experience. When it came time to enter the water, Claire was an outstanding guide. She ensured that the kids (10 & 12) felt confident with the unfamiliar snorkeling equipment, and took the time to locate and identify a variety of sea life. The crew made this a memorable experience for our entire family, and we highly recommend this experience for visitors to Oahu.

The staff was friendly, helpful and professional. The trip was wonderful and there are many providers available, and the value for service on this trip was excellent. They were punctual, the equipment was in good condition. Turtle Canyon has turtles, but lots of other tour boats. They were very situationally aware which kept us safe. We also got some bonus dolphin activity on the way out and back. Two thumbs up.

Friendly crew and so much marine life

Reviewed by: Andrea

The snorkeling was such a blast we saw several turtles and a ton of fish. The crew were such a pleasure to be around every one of them was nice, knowledgeable and friendly. The boat was small but that was the best part because then we had a much more intimate experience and were able to feel comfortable with our crew(not hard they were all so nice). We were out for over an hour but could hang out on the boat and reenter the water whenever we felt like. The boat had a nylon strap front you could sit on and get wet which we did on our way back to shore after the snorkeling. It was a great relaxing and fun time. Definitely would recommend this company because the price is great, the crew was amazing and the trip was not overly packed.

Really happy with the experience, my son and I loved it. He is a comfortable swimmer, while I just started learning a month ago. He felt comfortable enough to snorkel without holding onto the buoy used by our guide, while I did not yet. It was a perfect introduction to snorkeling in a safe environment.

A tour I want to repeat. リピートしたいツアー

Reviewed by: haru36412579

If you're going to Hawaii, I want to meet sea turtles! After comparing various tours and reading many reviews, as well as checking the duration and costs, I found this one to be the best overall and made a reservation. (*Since it's primarily in English, if you're worried about understanding, I think a tour with Japanese-speaking staff would be reassuring.)

As a result, I was able to see about 5-6 sea turtles, there were plenty of fish, and the staff were cheerful and fun, making me glad I chose this tour. I unfortunately got seasick on the way back and couldn't see, but it seemed there were dolphins and whales as well!

As others have mentioned, there were about 30-40 participants on the day, but we were the only Japanese. All the staff were locals, so you won't experience Japanese hospitality or explanations in Japanese, but you can enjoy the local atmosphere and a casual vibe, which I recommend.

On the day, I was lucky to have a local staff member who could speak a little Japanese. When I was scared to let go of the stairs while entering the water, they asked, "Are you scared?" and "Are you okay?" and checked if I wanted to return to the boat. I really wanted to see the sea turtles, so I said, "I'm scared, but I want to go into the water," and they held my hand and swam with me until I got used to it, lending me a float cushion. (At one point, an elderly person had to return to the boat due to fatigue, so I returned the cushion, but by then, I had gotten used to the water and was able to swim on my own!)

I tend to get seasick easily, and it was windy that day, so I took medication beforehand, but I ended up getting seasick on the way back and vomited a couple of times. There was a restroom, so I managed to be okay, but if you're prone to seasickness, be cautious depending on the weather that day. (By the way, the restroom was basic, and you couldn't flush paper; you had to pump it yourself to flush.)

It was my first snorkeling experience, and I was anxious since I can't swim well, but I was moved to see the sea turtles. I'm really glad I participated in this tour. I'm grateful to the wonderful staff.

ハワイに行くならウミガメに会いたい!といろんなツアーを比較し、口コミをたくさん読み比べ、所要時間や費用なども調べた結果、ここが総合的に1番良さそうで予約しました。(*基本的には英語なので、英語の聞き取りが不安な方は、日本語スタッフのいるツアーが安心かなと思います)

結果、ウミガメ5-6匹ほどに会うこともでき、魚も沢山いて、スタッフの方々も陽気で楽しいたちで、このツアーにして良かったなと思いました。
わたしは帰りに船酔いして見れなかったですが、イルカやクジラもいたようでした!

他の方も書いている通り、当日は30-40名と参加者は多かったものの、日本人は自分たちだけでした。
スタッフは全員現地の方なので、日本的なホスピタリティや日本語説明は求められないですが、現地感を味わえ、カジュアルな雰囲気を楽しめるのでおすすめです。

当日は運良く日本語を少し話せる現地のスタッフがいました。海に入る時にこわくて階段から手を離せないでいると「こわい?」「大丈夫?」など声かけしてくれて、「船戻りたい?」など確認してくれました。私はどうしてもウミガメを見たかったので「こわいけど海には行きたい」と無茶を言ったところ、慣れるまで手をつないで一緒に泳いでくれて、浮きクッションを貸してくれました。(途中で高齢の方が体力的に厳しくなって船に戻るため、そのクッションはお返ししましたが、その頃には海にも慣れて1人で泳げるようになっていました!)

船酔いしやすい体質で、当日は風が強かったので、事前に薬を飲んでいましたが、帰りに船酔いを起こし2回ほど吐きました。トイレがあったのでなんとか大丈夫でしたが、船酔いする方は当日の天候次第では要注意です。(ちなみにトイレは簡易的なもので、紙は流せない&自分でポンプを上げ下げして流すトイレでした)

初シュノーケリングで、ほぼ泳げないので不安でしたが、ウミガメをみれて感動しました。ほんとにこのツアーに参加して良かったです。素敵なスタッフの方に感謝です。
