All Reviews for Marine Wildlife Encounters

I was able to see whales! The ehomai was also very interesting, and the snacks were really helpful.

クジラを見ることができました！
エ・ホ・マイもとてもおもしろかったですし、軽食などもとても助かりました。

Crew were fun, views awesome & a great time had by all

I participated on December 5, 2025. It seemed a bit early for the peak season (winter from January to March), and unfortunately, I couldn't see any whales (tears). I really appreciate that the captain searched diligently, and whether or not we see them might be a matter of luck. However, I would have liked to have some sort of remedy, such as the option to reboard in cases like this!

2025年12月5日に参加しました。
ピークシーズン(冬の1月〜3月)には少し早かったようで、残念ながら鯨を見ることは出来ませんでした(涙)
Captainは一生懸命に探してくれたことはとても感謝してますし、見られる見られないは時の運かもしれませんが、このような場合の救済措置として再乗船の計らいなどが欲しかったです！

We were so lucky to see many whales. It was a great experience. The crew was wonderful also!

The guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and shared interesting local stories. Well-organized and a great way to see the island’s highlights in one day.

We participated in a trip to Hawaii as a couple. We traveled by boat from Hilton Hawaiian Village to the submarine waiting area. The sea breeze was pleasant, and we enjoyed the scenery.

However, the waiting time after boarding the submarine until departure was a bit long, and I got seasick during that time due to the rocking. Once we started moving, I felt better, but if you are prone to motion sickness, it's a good idea to take some medication beforehand.

Under the sea, we saw coral reefs, colorful fish, and even the remains of a sunken ship and airplane, which were impressive and enjoyable! I highly recommend it for aquarium lovers.

Although I felt a bit nauseous, we were both moved, saying, "You don't often get to see a view like this." The experience of actually diving underwater was precious, and it was a memorable tour in Hawaii.

夫婦でハワイ旅行中に参加しました。ヒルトン・ハワイアン・ビレッジから船で潜水艦の待機場所まで移動しました。海風が気持ちよく、景色を楽しめました。
ただ、潜水艦に乗り込んでから出発までの待ち時間が少し長く、その間に揺れで酔ってしまいました。動き出してからは落ち着きましたが、酔いやすい方は酔い止めを飲んでおくのが良いです。
海中ではサンゴ礁やカラフルな魚、沈没船や飛行機の残骸まで見られて、見応えがあり、楽しめました！水族館好きにはオススメです。
少し酔ってしまったものの、夫婦で「こんな景色はなかなか見られないね」と感動しました。海の中を実際に潜って見られる体験は貴重で、ハワイの思い出に残るツアーでした。

I saw various things submerged, including coral reefs and many fish. I also learned about the efforts being made to protect the marine environment and gather the fish.

色々なものが沈んでいて、珊瑚礁、魚もたくさん見れました。魚達を集めるため、海の環境を守るために努力されていることも知ることができて勉強になりました。

There was a change in the boarding location, but they arranged everything, including the car, so there were no problems at all. We boarded the ship and went to where the submarine was waiting, and it was a bit scary going down the stairs backward... haha. The space inside the submarine was exciting. It seems that the luck of the day plays a role, but it appeared that there were few creatures to encounter. I heard that octopuses are rare. It was a great experience.

乗船位置の変更がありましたが、車の準備など全て手配してくれて何も問題ありませんでした。船にのり、潜水艦が待っているところまで行きいざ乗船。後ろ向きで階段を下がるのは少しこわい…笑。潜水艦の空間がワクワクさせてくれました。当日の運にもなるかと思いますが、出会える生き物は少なかった様子でした笑。タコがレアだそうです。良い経験になりました。

Really unique, I have never got to be in a submarine so was a frist time experience and lots of fish life!

I experienced a submarine for the first time. The submarine itself is not something you can experience often, so it was a valuable and enjoyable experience. However, I didn't see as many fish as I had expected. The boat that takes you to the submarine, and the submarine itself when it's near the surface, can be quite rocky. Neither my husband nor I are prone to seasickness, but we both felt a bit queasy.

初めて潜水艦を体験しました。
潜水艦自体は中々体験できないので、貴重な経験ができて楽しかったです。
ただ、魚は思ったよりも見えませんでした。
潜水艦まで移動する船、そして潜水艦が海面近くにある時はかなり揺れます。
そこまで船酔いする方ではないですが、私も夫も船酔いしました。

I had a great experience. Thank you very much. If you go to Hawaii, be sure to try it out. I highly recommend it!

良い体験ができましたm(_ _)m
ありがとうございました。
ぜひハワイに行った際は体験してみてください。
おすすめです！

It's a real submarine. Although it was made for tourism, you can see the bottom of the ocean in Waikiki. The air conditioning works well, so it's comfortable, and I was able to see small fish and sharks. Unfortunately, I didn't see any sea turtles.

本物の潜水艦です。観光用に作られたものではありますが、ワイキキの海の底を見ることができます。エアコンがきちんと効いているので快適だし、小さな魚やシャークをを見ることができました。残念ながらウミガメは見られませんでした。

It was great that even children who can't snorkel could see a lot of fish! Riding in a real submarine was also a refreshing and fun experience, almost like an attraction. Also, the pilot was so cool that I couldn't help but sneak a glance! At one point, it got a bit boring, and my child fell asleep, but it was a good experience overall.

シュノーケル出来ない子どもでもたくさんの魚が観れてよかったです！そもそも本物の潜水艇に乗り込むこと自体もアトラクション感覚で新鮮で楽しかったです。
あとパイロットがカッコ良すぎてついチラ見しちゃう！
途中は少し退屈になり、子どもは寝てしまいましたww良い体験でした。

Our family had such a wonderful day, the kids were so engaged with the viewing window.

I recommend this for small children, elderly people, and anyone who wants to peek into the waters of Hawaii without getting wet.

We gathered on-site. Even if you arrive on time, there were no staff members present, which can be a bit unsettling, but it seems this is the usual situation (laughs). In our small group of 13, we could clearly hear the staff's explanations. At other times, it seemed to be fully booked with about 50 people.

We were able to see clearly down to the seabed and even encountered sea turtles. I think people of all ages can enjoy this. I downloaded the Japanese commentary in advance, but I wasn't sure when to start listening with the earphones.

小さなお子様にもご年配の方々も、濡れずにハワイの海の中を覗きたい人にとってもおすすめです。
集合時間にp


現地集合でした。
時間どおりに行っても、スタッフの方々誰もおらず不安になりますが、これがいつも通りのようです(笑)
13人の少人数グループでスタッフの方の説明もクリアに聞こえました。
他の時間は約50人の満席のようでした。
海底までゆっくりクリアに見ることができ、海亀にも遭遇できました。
年齢問わず楽しめると思います。
日本語の解説を事前ダウンロードしましたが、いつイヤホンで聴き始めたら良いかが分かりませんでした。

Such a cool way to explore beneath the ocean without getting wet as I am not much of a swimmer that loves sea life, lol!

Friendly staff. 100 yards away was too far to swim. All other boats were closer.

The sea was murky and the visibility wasn't great, but it was amazing to see the underwater world that you can't usually experience. It seems the visibility is better in the morning. I wasn't sure when to start the Japanese guide, so if you could make that clearer, I think it would enhance the experience even more.

海が濁っており透明度は今一でしたが、普段体験できない海の中を見る事ができ最高でした。
午前中の方が透明度が高いようです。
日本語のガイドをスタートさせるタイミングが分からなかったので分かるようにしていただけるともっと楽しめると思います。

You can see shipwrecks and airplanes, which is great for those who are not confident in snorkeling, as it allows you to safely view the seabed. You can also see fish clearly, and if you're lucky, you might spot sea turtles or sharks. No matter which side you sit on, the boat turns alternately, so you can get a good view of the shipwrecks and other sights!

沈没船や、飛行機を見ることが出来て、シュノーケリングに自信が無い方には安全に海底を見れるのでいいと思います。
魚もしっかり見れ、運が良ければウミガメやサメも見ることができます。
左右どちらに座っても、交互にターンしてくれるのでしっかり沈没船等は見ることが出来ました！

My 3-year-old child couldn't dive into the sea yet, but I wanted to show him sea turtles and fish, so we participated. Fortunately, we were able to see sea turtles, and my son was very happy. The meeting place was a bit hard to find, but the timeshare sales staff provided detailed instructions, which was helpful.

3歳の子どもはまだ海に潜れず、でもウミガメや魚を見せてあげたいと思い参加しました。
運良くウミガメも見られて、息子も大喜びでした。
集合場所が少し分かりにくかったですが、タイムシェアの営業の方が詳しく教えてくださったので助かりました。

It was the last day of whale season, but many whales came out, and I was moved to see so many whales off the coast of Waikiki, something I had never known before.

クジラシーズンの最終日でしたが。たくさんクジラが出てきてくれて、ワイキキ沖でこんなにクジラが見れるのをいままで全く知らず感動です。

We saw a whale tail. We also saw sea turtles. The boat ride was a great experience. The captain and crew were amazing. I would recommend this to everyone‼️

The weather was nice, so I could see the fish and the sunken ship clearly. It might be tough if it's cloudy. I recommend this for those who want to see a lot of fish but don't want to snorkel. Also, on the way to the submarine transfer, you can see Diamond Head and the beach from the sea side, which makes for great photos.

天気が良かったので、魚や沈没船が良く見えました。曇りだと厳しいかも。とは思いました。沢山の魚を見たいがシュノーケルをしたくない方にお勧めです。また、乗り替える潜水艦にいく途中の船でダイアモンドヘッドやビーチが海側から見れるので、良い写真が撮れます。

We saw more people sea sick instead of whales. Only 2 turtles and a few dolphins were spotted. The boat ride was fine and they do offer you can go back again if you don’t see any whales.

The waiting time is longer than expected. The movement is somewhat bumpy. (I found it thrilling and fun!) As for the viewing...

待ち時間が思いの外、長いです。
移動はまぁまぁ揺れます。(僕はスリリングで楽しかったです！)鑑賞は・・・。

We were blessed with beautiful weather, and the view of Diamond Head and the deep blue sea and sky from the ocean was stunning. Even if we hadn't encountered any whales, I would have been completely satisfied just with the cruise. Just when I was about to give up, the whales finally appeared! The sight of two of them slapping their tails on the water's surface was incredibly powerful. We were able to see them closer than I had imagined. They showed up again in another spot, and I was absolutely thrilled. The kids were also very excited!

いいお天気に恵まれて、沖から見るダイヤモンドヘッドや真っ青な海と空。
もしもクジラに出会えなくても、遊覧だけでも大満足、思っていたところ...
諦めかけた頃に、ついにクジラが現れました！
２頭並んで尻尾を海面に打ち付ける様子は迫力満点。想像していたよりも近くで見れました。
その後もまた別の場所でも現れて、
大大満足です。
子どもたちも大興奮でした！

It was a good experience overall - the plan they had with placed item was very helpful

The local guides were also very kind. The water was so clear that we could see various fish. There were whales further out, and we could see them a little. After diving, we could also see the boat going down for the next group to take their turn.

現地ガイドの人たちも親切でした。
海の透明度が高いので色々な魚を見ることができました。
沖の方には鯨がいて少し見えました。潜水後は次の人たちと交代するため、船が潜水していく様子も見られます。

This is a tour where you dive about 100 feet deep to observe fish and other marine life. You board a boat from the port of Waikiki and then switch to a submarine for the dive.

At first, there isn’t much to see and there are few fish, but as you get closer to a sunken airplane or ship, you encounter large schools of fish! After viewing one side, the submarine turns around to show the guests on the opposite side as well. Along the way, we also saw sharks and sea turtles swimming.

The guide's explanations are in English. I should have downloaded the Japanese guide in advance, but I forgot. However, the English explanations provide real-time descriptions of the situation, so I’m not sure if the Japanese explanations follow that. I think it’s better to try to listen to the English.

Before boarding the boat, they take photos which they develop and sell by the return trip. You can also download the data via QR code later, but that is also paid. I believe the experience of seeing the fish in person is more valuable than the photos, especially since you can see them without diving.

100ftほどの水深に潜り魚などを観察するツアー。ワイキキの港から船に乗り、海上で潜水艦に乗り換えて潜ります。

潜った当初は何もなく魚も少ないですが、沈んだ飛行機や沈没船の近くに来ると魚の大群が！片側が見た後は旋回して逆側のお客さんにも見せてもらえます。
途中、サメや海ガメが泳ぐ姿も見られました。

ガイドさんの説明は英語。事前に日本語のガイドをダウンロードすれば良かったのですが、忘れてました。ただ、英語の説明はリアルタイムの状況説明なので、日本語の説明がそれにならっているかは分かりません。頑張って英語を聞いた方が良いかと思います。

船に乗る前に撮影した写真を帰りまでに現像して売りに来ます。データはQRコードで後日でもダウンロードできますが、そちらも有料。
写真よりも実際に見る魚たちの方が貴重な体験だと思います。ダイビングせずとも見られるんですから。

We had a greast day, we got to see a ton of sea life including a few turtles!
