The weather was slightly cloudy, but fortunately, we were able to see sea turtles! There were also many other fish, making it quite a sight.
There were about 10 participants on the tour that day, but I've heard that on some days, it can be close to 30 people. The morning time also had high visibility, making it easy to see.
When we arrived at the snorkeling spot, there were other tour groups, so it was quite crowded. They likely color-coded the participants with life jackets, so I don't think anyone would get lost.
The boat was rocking, but after entering the water, the waves were quite strong, and some of my companions and other tour participants returned to the boat to lie down. The seawater was very salty, making me thirsty. You might feel a bit nauseous, so please manage that with food or medication. Soft drinks and snacks seemed to be free.
After snorkeling, we cruised towards Diamond Head. The breeze was pleasant, and I'm glad I participated!
天気は、若干曇っていましたが、運良くウミガメを見ることができました!
他の魚もたくさんいて見応えがありました。
その日のツアーの参加人数は10人くらいでしたが、話によると、日によっては30人近くになるそうです。午前中という時間も、透明度が高く、みやすかったとのことです。
シュノーケルのポイントに行くと、他のツアーの方々もいるので、人が多いです。おそらくライフジャケットで参加者を色分けしており、迷子にはならないと思います。
船は揺れるのですが、海に入った後の波の揺れがかなり大きく、同行者やツアー参加者の何人かが船に戻り、横になっていました。
海水がとてもしょっぱく、喉が渇きます。
若干気持ち悪くなるかもしれないので、食事や薬などで調節されてください。
ソフトドリンクやスナックはフリーのようです。
シュノーケリング後は、ダイヤモンドヘッドの方までクルージング。風も気持ちよく、参加してよかったです!
一緒に参加した友人は、波酔いをしていました。直前の食事の調節や、薬を飲むなどした方が良いと思います。

We couldn't make a reservation for Hanauma Bay, and we wanted to snorkel with a group of 13. I thought we would bring our own fins and shoes, but instead, we had to leave our shoes in a basket outside the boat and go in barefoot. We were able to borrow fins and goggles. My mother waited on the boat. In August during Obon, the sun was strong and there was no place to hide, so I think it's good to have towels or something. The wind was strong enough to blow away hats. We were the only Japanese people there, and everything was in English, so we struggled a bit, but a kind female staff member helped us in Japanese using her smartphone. I didn't realize that drinks were free after snorkeling, so the person who was informed was able to drink. There was a menu, and they made beautiful cocktails for us.
ハナウマ湾の予約が取れず、シュノーケルやりたいと13人で予約。フィンとか靴は持っていくものだと思ったら、逆に船の外のカゴに靴は置いて行って裸足で入らなきゃいけませんでした。フィンやゴーグルは借りられました。母は船の上で待ってました。8月のお盆は、日差しが強く隠れるとこがなかったのでタオルとかあると良いと思います。帽子は飛ばされるような風です。日本人は私達だけで、全部英語だったので苦労しましたが,優しい女性スタッフがスマホで日本語で教えてくれました。シュノーケル後は一杯無料ということが分からなかったので教えてもらった人は飲めました。メニューもあって綺麗なカクテルを作ってもらっていました。
The free drinks are a big plus. It seems there will be guidance after the last person goes up, so you'll need to go to the back to place your order.

I participated in this tour because it departs from Waikiki Beach, making it convenient and time-efficient. Although I don't understand much English, I received a Japanese notice after departure. I was able to see dolphins in the distance and multiple sea turtles. The sea turtles up close are very cute! The view of Diamond Head from the sea while sailing was also wonderful! I was lucky to be with a Japanese person who spoke English, so I got help with things I didn't understand. The staff were all friendly, and I had a great experience.

We participated with two adults and four children (ages 2 to 13). We were a bit anxious because it was slightly cheaper than other tours and only had English-speaking staff, but I thought communication would be fine as long as we could manage simple conversations. The boat was more luxurious than we expected, and we had a comfortable time.
During the snorkeling, we saw about 5 to 6 sea turtles from a distance for around 40 to 50 minutes. One of the local staff members was snorkeling and pointed out where the turtles were, but he wasn't very proactive, so we ended up diving and searching for them ourselves. However, we were thrilled to see one up close! If I have the chance to go again, I would love to participate.
大人2人、子ども4人(2〜13歳)で参加しました。
他のツアーに比べ少し安かったことと、英語のスタッフのみということで、少し不安はありましたが、簡単な会話ができる程度であれば、全くコミュニケーションは問題ないと思いました。
船も予想以上に豪華で快適に過ごせました。
ウミガメは約4〜50分間シュノーケル中に、5〜6頭遠くに見えました。
1人、現地のスタッフの方がシュノーケルをしながらウミガメのいる場所を教えてくれるのですが、あまり積極的でなかったため、自分たちで潜って探す感じでしたが、1頭至近距離で見れて感動しました!
また行く機会があったら参加したいです。

Departing from the Sheraton Waikiki in the heart of Waikiki. Everything is in English, and there are no Japanese speakers. The explanations are clear, so it's manageable.
The life jackets are the type you inflate yourself, but they are used by other companies as well, and as long as you inflate them properly, there are no issues.
The sea turtle snorkeling is just off the coast of Waikiki, right after departure. This time, we saw two turtles.
It took some time to find the turtles, but in the meantime, we enjoyed snorkeling with various fish.
Whether they are being fed or not, the fish come close, allowing you to experience swimming alongside them.
After snorkeling, we started sailing. In addition to free snacks, there are alcoholic beverages available for purchase.
Having a beer in Hawaii's dry climate after snorkeling was fantastic.
The waves during sailing were a bit high, but since the boat is a catamaran, it was not a problem. Once you get used to it, it becomes a fun attraction.

Everything from the reception to the announcements on the boat is in English. For those who are not good at English, the only way to understand is by watching the movements, but I don't think there is anything particularly difficult as long as you wear your life jacket properly. However, since it's a self-inflating type, I found it quite tiring to swim as the waves pushed me off balance. I saw two sea turtles, but they weren't slow enough to take pictures, so it's better to think of it as just being able to see them. I was worried about not mixing up my boat since we swam with people from other tours. It seems they separate groups by the color of the life jackets, so it's reassuring to stay close to those wearing the same color. Overall, being in the water can be quite exhausting. Perhaps because of that fatigue, I got seasick on the way back and couldn't see any of the scenery, which was disappointing for the cruising time.
受付から船上でのアナウンスまですべて英語。英語が苦手な人は動きを見て理解するしかないですが、特に難しいことはなくライフジャケットをしっかりつけていれば問題ないと思いますが、自分で膨らませる簡易タイプなので波に押されバランスが悪く泳いでいて結構疲れました。ウミガメは2匹見られましたが、写真に撮れるほどゆっくりではなく見られればOKくらいに思っていたほうがいいです。他のツアーの人と一緒に泳ぐため、自分の船を間違えないか心配でした。ライフジャケットの色で分けているようなので、同じ色の人たちと離れないようにすると安心です。とにかくひたすら海の中なので結構体力を消耗します。その疲れもあってか、帰りは船酔いで景色を一切見られず、せっかくのクルージングの時間が残念でした。

Check-in at the tour desk of the Outrigger Hotel at 11:30. Departed from in front of Halekulani on the Holokai Catamaran.
Before long, we arrived at Turtle Canyon, a few kilometers offshore. Sea turtles were swimming right next to the boat!
I borrowed a mask and fins and went snorkeling while observing the coral reef. I was able to spot sea turtles underwater right away!
After snorkeling, we raised the sails and cruised while enjoying the view of Diamond Head. The sea breeze was very pleasant!

The receptionist spoke a little Japanese, but the crew on the boat communicated entirely in English. My English skills are only sufficient to understand simple phrases, but since they demonstrated how to use the snorkeling equipment, there were no particular issues as long as I paid attention. There were no other Japanese participants, but it felt like an overseas trip, which was nice!
When boarding the boat, you need to take off your sandals and shake off the sand from your feet. You sit in your seat and wait until you reach the snorkeling point. Once the crew is ready, everyone enters the water one by one. They apply anti-fog solution to the snorkeling mask, and after rubbing it in with your hands, you dip it in a bucket of water before putting it on. Just before entering the water, you put on your fins, and off you go into the sea!
You swim a little away from the boat to reach the watching point. As you swim, you see plenty of fish. I was surprised at how many there were! When a turtle appeared, the crew would call out, "Turtle!!" and let us know. We all gathered around, watching without getting too close. I was able to see the turtle both underwater and when it came up for air. So cute!
Many other boats were also there for turtle watching, so it might be helpful to keep an eye out for people wearing the same life jackets as you or to listen for the call of "Holokai!" to stay together and feel secure.
Looking at past reviews, it seems that the shape of the life jackets and floats might vary depending on when you participate. When we joined, we had life jackets that you inflate yourself. I recommend inflating them fully. Since the back of the jacket doesn't have any buoyancy, it might feel a bit scary if you're not used to swimming. My partner was also new to snorkeling and being in water where he couldn't touch the bottom, so he seemed quite fearful and stayed close to the boat while snorkeling. The crew informed us from the boat that there was a turtle, so we were able to enjoy turtle watching safely.
After snorkeling, we relaxed on the boat for about an hour. We were feeling a bit seasick, so we couldn't eat, but snacks were available for everyone else. The crew noticed we looked unwell and kindly asked if we were okay, applying lavender oil to our wrists, which is said to help with seasickness. I appreciated their kindness.
Although I felt a bit seasick towards the end, the breeze and sunshine on the boat were very pleasant, and I was able to see many fish and cute turtles. I think it was a wonderful experience that I wouldn't have had otherwise!

他の船もたくさんタートルウォッチングに来ているので、自分と同じライフジャケットをしている人を見逃さないようにしたり、「ホロカ〜イ!」という声がけに耳を澄ませておくと、逸れずに安心かもしれません。
過去レビューの写真を見たところ、参加タイミングによりライフジャケットや浮きの形が違うのかも? 私たちが参加した際は、自分で空気を吹き込んで膨らませるライフジャケットでした。しっかりと膨らませることをおすすめします。
背中側に浮きがない形なので、もしかしたら泳ぎ慣れていないと少し怖いのかもしれません。私のパートナーはシュノーケリングも初、足の付かない水中も初だったこともあり恐怖感がとても強かったようで、船からはあまり離れずシュノーケリングをしていました。
クルーの方が船の上から「カメいるよ〜」と教えてくれたようで、無事にタートルウォッチングはできたようです。
シュノーケリングが終わった後は1時間ほど、船上でゆっくり。
私たちは船酔い気味だったので食べられませんでしたが、スナックは自由にいただけたようで、みなさん召し上がっていました。

The participation day was very few, and it was almost like a private charter. The weather was nice, and the sea was so clear that I could see the bottom. I could even see fish resting on the seabed! There were also a few turtles swimming, which was amazing!
The boat has a restroom, but I didn't use it, so I can't say if it's clean. However, I saw a few others using it. You can buy drinks on board (soft drinks and alcohol), and they also mentioned that snacks are available for free. I tried the recommended snacks, and they were truly free.
After the experience, there aren't many places to change out of your swimsuit, but the restroom on the first floor of the hotel where the reception is located was not locked, so I could change there. No one seemed to get seasick during the sailing. Depending on the time, you might see dolphins jumping in the distance, and in February and March, you can also see whales. On the day of the experience, I spotted dolphins and whales a bit far away while sailing!
参加日はとても少なくほぼ貸し切り状態でした。天気ぐ良く海も底が見えるまで透き通っていました。海底で休んでいる魚も見えました!亀も数匹泳いでおり最高でした!

This outing was not what I expected. Given the description of "turtle canyon" I assumed we were going to some rather exotic location to swim and snorkel with the sea turtles. As it turns out, its just about a mile off of Waikiki Beach and it was full of boats with other snorkelers making it quite a crowded experience. Although we did see two turtles (or maybe the same turtle twice), it certainly wasn't the grand adventure it was made out to be. The water was quite murky and the coral was anything but pretty. And on top of all that, we could have booked directly with the tour company for 25% less. That was disappointing.
I will say the crew was very pleasant and the sail after was good.

There was singing, services like spam rice balls, hula dancing, and a lot of other activities besides sea turtle snorkeling, which made it enjoyable! Having a Japanese guide eased my worries. The sea was also very beautiful.
However, reflecting on my experience, I had never gotten seasick before, so I didn't take any motion sickness medication, but the boat rocked quite a bit and I started to feel unwell. I think it would have been better to take the medication. Perhaps reading the lyrics while singing contributed to my nausea as well. My husband and son went up to the second floor of the boat and said they really enjoyed feeling like they were driving the boat, so I think I would have enjoyed it even more if I could have done that too...
歌あり、スパムおにぎりなどのサービスあり、フラダンスもありで、ウミガメシュノーケリング以外のものも盛りだくさんで、楽しめました!!日本人ガイドさんがいてくれたので不安もありませんでした。海もとてもキレイ。
ただ自分への反省として、今まで酔ったことがなかったので酔い止めは飲まなかったのですが、結構船が揺れて気分が悪くなってしまいました。酔い止めは飲んだ方がよかったかなと思いました。もしかしたら、歌を歌う時に文字を読んだのも、酔いに繋がったのかも。夫と息子は船の2階に上がって、自分が船を運転している気分になってとても楽しめたと言っていたので、それも出来たらもっと楽しめたな…と思いました。
I recommend taking motion sickness medication. Also, if you're feeling well, definitely check out the second floor of the boat!
酔い止めを飲んでおくことをお勧めします。あとは、元気ならぜひ船の2階に上がってみてください!
Dear Mimi,
Thank you very much for participating in our "Turtle & You, Waikiki Turtle Snorkeling"!
We are very pleased that having a Japanese guide allowed you to join us with peace of mind and that you enjoyed experiences beyond snorkeling, such as singing, hula dancing, and spam musubi. We're glad you could take advantage of the spam musubi service, which is available only until the end of March this year.
Thank you also for your feedback regarding seasickness. It can be easy to get seasick due to the ocean's swaying, so we recommend preparing motion sickness medication. We hope that next time you join us, you will also go up to the second floor of the boat and have an even more enjoyable time!
We sincerely look forward to seeing you again 🌺 Mahalo

このたびは弊社の「タートル&ユー、ワイキキタートルシュノーケリング」にご参加いただき、誠にありがとうございました!
日本人ガイドがいたことで安心して参加していただき、歌やフラダンス、スパムむすびなど、シュノーケリング以外の体験もお楽しみいただけたこと、大変嬉しく思います。
スパムむすびのサービスは今年の3月末までとなりますので、ラストチャンスでご利用いただけて良かったです。
また、船酔いについてのご感想もありがとうございます。海の揺れによっては酔いやすいこともあるので、酔い止めの準備はおすすめです。次回ご参加の際には、ぜひ船の2階にも上がって、さらに楽しい時間をお過ごしいただけたらと思います!
またお会いできる日を心より楽しみにしております🌺 マハロ

This time, my 9-year-old son, my husband, my mother-in-law in her 70s, and I participated together. The reception was a bit hard to find as it was located inside the Outrigger Reef Waikiki Beach Resort, across from the ABC Store. However, when I showed the voucher to the hotel staff, they kindly directed me to the reception area. When the time came, the staff gave a brief explanation (in all English), and then we all walked to the dock to board the boat. We were the only Japanese participants, which made us a bit anxious, but there were people from various countries joining us.
Once on the boat, the friendly staff explained snorkeling and talked to us in English. They patiently taught us how to inflate the life jackets, put on the fins, and wear the masks. As we listened to the explanations, we quickly arrived at the snorkeling spot and jumped into the sea! The beautiful ocean and numerous fish were amazing, and we even saw about five sea turtles up close! It was so close that it was surprising!
Additionally, soft drinks (like cola and Hawaiian drinks) and snacks were available for free, so we could eat whenever we felt a bit hungry.
After finishing snorkeling, we didn’t head back immediately but went sailing further out. We enjoyed many scenic views, even reaching the backside of Diamond Head. Sitting on the netting part of the boat while sailing was fantastic. We even spotted a whale, albeit briefly!
We had a very fulfilling time with snorkeling followed by sailing.
Here are some tips for those who will experience this:
1. If you are prone to motion sickness, be cautious as the boat can sway, and the waves during snorkeling can be intense. (I actually took motion sickness medication, but I still felt quite sick and had to return to the boat early. My son and husband, however, did not get sick and enjoyed the entire time.)
2. There are many other tours at the snorkeling spots, so there is a risk of getting separated if you get too absorbed in snorkeling. I made sure to stay close to our boat's staff.
3. Beginners in snorkeling may need to have some stamina. Fortunately, we were okay since we had some experience, but for first-timers, the wave height and moving to different spots might be challenging. However, it was nice that we could choose to return to the boat whenever we wanted.
I’ve mentioned three points, but overall, I am very satisfied!
今回、9歳の息子と私たち夫婦、70代ばあばの4人で参加しました。
受付はアウトリガーリーフワイキキビーチリゾートのホテル入って奥の方のABCストアの向かい側で初めてだと分かりずらいかもですが、ホテルのスタッフの方にバウチャー見せたら受付の場所を教えてもらえました。時間になるとスタッフの方が軽く説明をして(オール英語)、その後みんなで船着場まで歩き船に乗りました。日本人は私たちだけで不安でしたが、みなさん色々な国から参加されていました。
船に乗ると気さくなスタッフの方がシュノーケリングの説明や、色々英語で話してくれました。
ライフジャケットの空気の入れ方や、フィンの付け方、マスクの付け方など丁寧に教えてくれました。
説明を聞いているとすぐにシュノーケリングスポットにつき、いざ海へ!
綺麗な海とたくさんの魚、お目当ての海亀も五匹ほど間近で見れました!近すぎてびっくりするくらい!!
また、ソフトドリンク(コーラやハワイアンドリンク)や、スナックはフリーで食べれるので小腹が空いた時自由に食べれました。
最後シュノーケリングが終わった後はすぐに戻らず、さらに沖の方はセイリング。
ダイヤモンドヘッドの裏側の方までいきたくさんの景色を楽しめました。やっとの網の部分に座ってのセーリングも最高でした。
最後に少しでしたがクジラも見えました!
シュノーケリングの、後のセーリングでとても充実した時間が過ごせました。
以下体験する方へのアドバイス
1、乗り物酔いする方は中々船の揺れや、シュノーケリングの、波も激しいので気おつけてください。(実際私は酔い止め飲みましたが途中で酔いがひどくなり先に船に戻りました。※息子や夫は酔わないので終始楽しんでいました。)
2、他のツアーがスポットにたくさんいるのでシュノーケリングに、没頭するとはぐれる危険性があります。こまめに自分の船のスタッフさんを連れての近くにいるようにしました。
3、シュノーケリング初心者は体力が必要かも。幸い私たちはシュノーケリングをしていたので大丈夫でしたが、初めての方だと波の高さや、スポットに毎回移動するのが困難かも
でも、船に戻りたくなったら先に戻っていいのでそこは自由で自身の判断でよかったです
3点書きましたが総合的には大満足です!

The previous day's bad weather may have caused rough waves, and although I was able to see a few turtles, there were not many fish. It's unfortunate, but it's nature, so there's nothing we can do about it.
前日が悪天候だったためか、波が荒くて魚も少し亀が何とか見れたけど、自然相手だから仕方がないけど、残念でした。

I participated in a tour that ended in the morning. The weather wasn't very good, and it was a bit chilly, but I didn't feel as cold as I thought I would when I got into the water. During snorkeling, there were many colorful fish, and I encountered a turtle a couple of times. Additionally, a little further away, there was a pod of dolphins, making it a satisfying tour with a variety of experiences in a short time. Next time I come to Hawaii, I would like to recommend it to my friends and participate together.
午前中で終了するツアーでしたので参加してみました。余り良い天候ではなく、少し肌寒い気温でしたが海に入ると思ったより寒く感じませんでした。シュノーケリングでは様々な色の魚がたくさんいて、カメさんにも2度程遭遇デキました。更に少し先の方にはイルカの群れがいてたりと短時間で色々と満足デキたツアーでした。次回、ハワイに来た時には友人達に勧めて一緒に参加したいです。
It's a short time underwater, but you'll be swimming with fins. Since the kicking motion is not something you're used to, it can be quite tiring, so it's a good workout! (laughs)
短時間の海中ですがフィンを使用しての回遊。普段慣れないキック動作ですので結構疲れると思いますので良いトレーニングになりますよ(笑)

A friend who participated with me got seasick. I think it's better to adjust meals right before and take medication.
