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

Great, short trip

Reviewed by: Francis

This trip was a great activity to get the opportunity to snorkel, see turtles, fish, and coral without taking up your whole day.
The location is a short ride back to the popular beaches and they provide options of food and drinks.
The staff was knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful while on the tour.

Rude swimmers. Please describe how to snorkel with aloha before disembarking.

Reviewed by: Me today

I get this on every tour, but newbies need instructions on how not to be rude. Don’t flip in my face. Stop swarming at me, and please… there is no reason to flail your appendages rampantly for no reason when there are 50 swimmer right next to you. Please explain this to swimmers before hand. In fact, in a small area, there is no reason for flippers. This would have been much more enjoyable if no one had them.

Turtles were neat. I would not tell anyone else if you see one because everyone swarms and hits you in the face/gut/you name it, as they flail to see it.

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

An Incredible Experience

Reviewed by: Jesse

The crew from Moana Catamaran were awesome, laid back, and super helpful the entire experience! The classic island music, the weather, the catamaran.. all the vibes were perfect!

We saw a couple schools of Dolphins on the surface (which I believe is NOT common, so keep that in mind if you book!) and saw about 8-9 sea turtles during our time in the water. A few of them hung around the whole time and swam towards us so close we had to swim away to give them the distance they need.

The crew gave us everything we needed- snorkels, fins, and a floaty to make things super easy for our time in the water. I really enjoyed that it was a waist floaty and not a neck inflatable one like some of the other boats out there. Made it much more enjoyable.

Overall, we were mesmerized by the turtles and the fish / sea life that surrounded us, and had an amazing crew to take us to it. 10/10, 5/5, whatever you want to take from this. My wife said this was "the most amazing experience of her life", and I might even agree. :)

Thanks, Moana Catamaran, for an incredible experience.

Saw lots of turtles and fish! Boat was clean, safe and well staffed. Bring a hat and lots of sunscreen. Crew of 5 and it was easy to get equipment on and ready. Our group had about 33 which was a lot - made for close quarters at times and a line at the stairs. Crew was quiet and all business … they were likely sick of tourists at this point. Beautiful pictures and scenery. Really nice catamaran.

Tour time was cancelled but they found us an even better alternative.

Reviewed by: Glenda

I booked this snorkeling tour for our group of 21 months in advance. A couple days before our trip a representative of Hawaii Activities contacted me to let me know the time we booked was no longer an option offered by the company. They rebooked us with a different company for the same day, at an earlier time, without drinks :(, for the same price even though the Moana company charged more than the one we originally booked. I appreciate this so much because as we were boarding, we saw a disappointed family at another dock who had their trip canceled with not even a notification. The boat just never showed up and when they called the company they were told they had to cancel due to COVID. Things happen but a notice would have been nice. Luckily for us Hawaiian Activities/Veltra not only notified us, but made alternative arrangements for us. I would definitely use this company for bookings in the future.

The only reason I gave an okay was because we ordered breakfast to have on the boat. Some how the company did not order the meals. We were told we would receive a refund.

I didn't get my turn. 順番回ってこず

Reviewed by: まんまる

We set sail with a total of four people, including two pairs and two European travelers.

During the first hour, we went near Diamond Head and watched as the two crew members caught about ten small fish for trolling.

When it came time for trolling, we went on an eight-hour cruise and managed to catch two fish: a mahi-mahi and a tuna. However, we drew numbers from 1 to 4 with a deck of cards to determine the order of fishing, and since we drew numbers 3 and 4, we didn't get our turn to reel in the fish. It seems that there are days when no fish are caught at all, so if the chances of catching fish are low given the number of people on board, I think it would be fairer to have a team competition or to take turns sharing one fish among the four of us.

We accepted our bad luck, but the European travelers who were reeling in the mahi-mahi and tuna for about ten minutes seemed to be having a great time, and I believe it was worth just over 20,000 yen. Unfortunately, we ended up with a high cruising fee without getting to hold a fishing rod.

私たちペアのほかに2名ヨーロッパ旅行者が2名の合計で4名で出港しました。
最初の一時間はダイヤモンドヘッド近くまで行き、船員2名でトローリング用のあじ？小魚を10匹ほど釣ったのを見てました。
いざトローリング、8時間のクルージングでマヒマヒとマグロの計2匹が釣れましたが最初にトランプで1～4の番号をひき、竿をひく順番を決め、我々は３・４番をひいたので魚の竿をまく順番が回ってきませんでした。一日に全く釣れないこともあるようなので、乗船人数分魚が釣れる可能性が少ないのであればせめてペアのチーム戦にするとか1匹を4人で交代するとか参加者に平等性が欲しいと思いました。運がなかったと諦めましたが、マヒマヒとマグロを約10分かけて引き揚げていたヨーロッパ旅行者は楽しそうで2万ちょっとの価値もあったと思いますが、竿を握れなかった私たちは高いクルージング代で終わりました。

I caught a big fish. 大物が釣れました

Reviewed by: Y.M

I caught a blue marlin (swordfish).

I think even beginners can enjoy it if they can understand English through gestures.

Since we were trolling with lures from the boat, it was all about luck. Until you get a hit, you can enjoy cruising on the boat.

Once I hooked it, it was a 15 to 20-minute battle with an 80 kg swordfish.

Mental and physical strength are essential, but it was great.

The homemade swordfish poke that the captain made from the catch two days ago was also the best.

Motion sickness medication is a must.

ブルーマーリン(カジキマグロ)を釣れました

初心者でも身振り手振りで英語が理解できれば楽しめると思います。

I thought it was a cruiser around 11.5 to 12 meters, but it was just under 7 meters. I expected to have a bit of a serious fishing experience, but I ended up not even touching the fishing rod. The family of three that came with us put their catch back on the floor of the boat, and there was a smell; it was pretty bad. Next time, I hope they create a more advanced and serious tour. Thank you. However, for small children, the fun of a rocking boat and catching small fish could become a memorable experience.

There was one captain and six participants. The others were foreigners, and the captain had a rather arrogant attitude, hardly teaching us anything about fishing or the sea, and he didn't engage with us at all... It took over two hours to move, and the boat was rocking so much that I got tired and fell asleep. No one woke me up, and by the time I did wake up, we were already at the port. It turned out to be an option where I didn't understand what we went for, and it seemed like no one else caught anything either. I was very disappointed.

船長一人に参加者六人でした。
他は外国の方で、船長はふてぶてしい態度で釣りや海のことをほぼ教えてもくれず盛り上げもしてくれず…
そして移動に2時間以上かかり船はすごく揺れつくまでに疲れてしまい寝てしまいました。
誰も起こしてくれず、起きた頃にはもう港。
何しにいったのかわからないオプションになってしまいましたし、他の方も何も釣れなかったようでした。
すごく残念でした。

When I went to Hawaii, I had decided to go for big game trolling, so I was looking for a good tour and found this plan.

When I arrived at the meeting place before 6 AM, I was with an American family. By the way, it seems that the boat changes depending on the booking situation at that time. The captain and crew were friendly American guys.

I didn't catch any big fish, but I felt refreshed being out on the ocean off Waikiki all day. If I have another chance, I want to challenge it again. Next time, I hope to catch a big blue marlin. My rating is four stars since I didn't catch anything big.

Captain and deckie worked tirelessly to ensure that every opportunity to catch fish was taken. The instructions given on how to handle the equipment were excellent for novices such as our group. Using local knowledge the captain located good sized fish and each landing was greeted with great enthusiasm but at the same time professionalism and efficiency. As a group we dispensed with the normal method of chance selection as to who would take each strike (the captain drawing a card) and so everyone had an equal share of the catch.

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。

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(>_<)
