I didn't understand Japanese at all. 日本語は全くでしたね

Reviewed by: yoshiki&tomomi

Let's join this tour with an open mind, haha!

First, the staff arrived about 20 minutes late from the meeting time! Well, since the other participants didn't complain, I'll take it as a good sign.

Also, once we got on the boat, there was a long explanation, but it was all in English! (By the way, the email we received right before also came in English, so I used a translation app to understand the content.)

Anyway, after listening to the explanation, we dove in! We saw so many turtles, it was amazing!

On the way back, we even encountered dolphins. It would have been perfect if I understood English, but I still had a great time!

このツアーはおおらかな気持ちで参加しましょう笑
まず、集合時間から20分ぐらい遅れでスタッフさん登場!まぁ他の参加者の方も文句は言ってなかったので良しとします
あと、船に乗ってから説明が長々とありましたが、全部英語!(ちなみに直前に来る案内メールも英語なので翻訳アプリで訳して内容理解しました)
まぁなんとなく説明も聞いてからのダイブ!
亀はこれでもかっ!ってぐらいに会えました。
あと、帰りの船でイルカにも遭遇
英語さえわかれば最高!じゃなくても楽しめました!

The staff were kind! スタッフさんが親切でした!

Reviewed by: Nicole

I only understand a little English, but when it comes to snorkeling, just communicate your fin size in US sizes, and once you're in the water, you can follow the staff without any issues. There were many sea turtles and beautiful fish!

On the boat, just sit back and enjoy without doing anything dangerous! The staff was very kind, providing cold water as a service and being attentive to the passengers, which made the experience very enjoyable.

The meeting place is at the location on Google Maps listed on this site, where you should look for the boat labeled "MOANA." The meeting time is 7:30, and we boarded around 8:00. The staff called out to us near the boat around that time. I highly recommend it!

片言の英語しかわからないのですが、シュノーケルではフィンのUSサイズを伝えることと、海に入ったらスタッフさんについていけば問題ないです。ウミガメやきれいな魚がたくさんいました!
船上では危ないことをせず座って楽しめばOKです!
サービスで冷たいお水を出してくれたり乗客に気配りしてくれたりスタッフさんが優しくとても楽しめました。

集合場所は、このサイトにのってるGoogle Mapの場所に行き、MOANAと書かれた船を見つけましょう。集合時間は7:30で乗船するのは8時頃でした。
8時頃にスタッフさんが船の近くで声をかけてくれました。
とてもおすすめです!

I encountered a sea turtle. ウミガメに出会えました

Reviewed by: Mido

The meeting place was hard to find, and it took 20 minutes after the meeting time for the guide to finally show up. The guide only provided explanations in English, with no simple Japanese at all. I struggled to get used to putting on the snorkel and couldn't get into the water for a while. The guide mentioned that they couldn't take responsibility for those who couldn't swim, so they advised us not to swim. I think it would have been helpful to have a brief lecture on tips for breathing with the snorkel. Once we set sail, everything went smoothly, and we were able to see sea turtles coming up to the surface multiple times, which was amazing.

集合場所がわかりづらく、集合時間から20分経ってようやくガイドさんが出てきました。
ガイドは英語の説明のみで、簡単な日本語も一切無し。
シュノーケルの付け方に慣れず、なかなか海に入れないでいたら、泳げない人は責任が取れないから泳がないでほしい、と言った話をされましたが、シュノーケルの呼吸の仕方のコツなど簡単なレクチャーがあってもいいと思います。
出航してからの手際はよく、ウミガメは海面付近に何度も出てきたので間近で見れました。

Reviewed by: きらりん

I arrived at the meeting place on time, but there were no tour staff, which made me anxious. Since everything is in English, I recommend joining a tour with Japanese-speaking staff for those who feel uneasy. For those who are okay with just a general understanding, the staff will explain things in an easy-to-understand manner, so please give it a try. I was able to see both sea turtles and wild dolphins perfectly!

集合場所に時間通りに着いたのにツアースタッフがいなくて不安になりました。全て英語なので、不安な方は日本語スタッフのいるツアーに参加される事をお勧めします。何となくでも良い方にはスタッフが分かりやすい言葉て教えてくれるので、参加してみて下さい。ウミガメも野生のイルカもバッチリ見ることができました!

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

Amazing snorkel trip w/ top-notch crew

Reviewed by: Johnny Avo

We took a snorkel trip with the Moana boat crew and had a fantastic experience. We set sail on the beautiful catamaran at 0830 and to head out see the sea turtles at the infamous 'shell-cleaning' reef which is located just outside the breakers off Waikiki beach. Our Capt for the day, Anthony, was personable, friendly and made us all feel welcome aboard the boat. Zack and Sarah were the other two crew members and they were friendly, professional, and very helpful throughout the entire trip. 100% would sail with this crew again. Bring some tip $ for them, because they definitely deserve it. Book a tour today!

The snorkel site is popular and several boats are in the area, which is nice because you don't feel like you're out in the middle of the ocean alone. It can get busy with everyone trying to see the turtles and fish so be sure to keep an eye on the surface as well as watching what is below. Some turtles even come over to our boat and I snapped a photo (attached to this review). Overall water depth is about 20-30 feet and even on a cloudy & murky day (like ours) we could easily see numerous fish and several large sea turtles. We were even lucky enough to see Humpback whales (mom & baby)!!

We booked our trip in mid/late Feb and it was overcast & rainy. A bit chilly at times, but come prepared and it's a fun trip regardless. Plenty of covered space to store dry items, but a "drybag" is a nice touch on any beach/water adventure.
We booked the 0830 trip to maximize sea life activity which also resulted in 2 families being on the boat....8 people total. Virtually a private tour! When we pulled back into the pier for the next tour there were about 20-25 people waiting for the next tour. And, parking at the marina is easier before the crowds arrive.

  • Turtle swimming right next to the catamaran close enough to almost reach out and touch.

Reviewed by: Eisenhans01

Sehr schöne Tour, Moana Team nett, kompetent, freundlich. Man sieht viele Schildkröten. Aber, der Spot vor Waikiki ist overcrowded, viele Auslugsboote kommen dorthin, mit ebenso vielen anderen Schnorchlern. Leider sind nicht alle rücksichtvoll und halten sich an die Regeln (dont touch the turtles, keep distance). Wenn das so weitergeht kann man drauf warten, dass der Spot zum Schutz der turtles geschlossen werden wird :-(

Amazing

Reviewed by: Giselle

To be the first time snorkeling for the whole family, it was amazing. We had the opportunity to be only party that day so we practically had a private tour the whole boat for ourselves. My husband and girls had the best time ever.
The whole crew took good care of us 6, one of them stood in the water the whole time making sure we were ok. They provided refreshments and ensured we were ok throughout the whole trip.

Sea Turtles AND DOLPHINS! AMAZING!

Reviewed by: Matt

Well what can I say? The team was kind and answered any and all questions we had. We were promised sea turtles and we got just that. Getting to swim atleast 1.5meters away from the turtles as the came to the surface multiple times. Being able to observe multiple sea turtles swimming around the depths and the various fish of the reef. To wrap up an already amazing and special experience, we also got a lengthy surprise visit from a family of dolphins swimming up close and personal to the catamaran as we headed back to the harbour. Like I said, what can I say?! Definitely recommended to all who are interested. 5/5

SPACIOUS catamaran, great visibility, lots of fish

Reviewed by: Yes to Hawaii

This catamaran is super nice! Since it was an early snorkel cruise, we opted to add-on a light breakfast so we could sleep in a bit more in the AM. Visibility was amazing. On the boat ride to the snorkel spot, we were so lucky and saw dolphins. This is incredibly rare in Waikiki so we were so excited to have gotten the chance to see them! There were tons of fish at Turtle Canyon. This boat provided us with floatation belts AND fins. The fins helped us out so much and we were able to cover so much more area than if we didn't use them. Loved this cruise & would recommend!
