2.5-Hour Waikiki Guided Turtle Snorkel Tour, Snacks & Drinks - Holokai Catamaran

Up close with turtles and an octopus :D

Reviewed by: Lorae

This was a fantastic way to spend a couple hours. Snorkeling with turtles that were pretty fearless. A leisurely sail off of Waikiki. Great crew and the cutest dog ever. You may even get a chance to get up close and personal with an octopus. Highly recommended.

Turtles snorkel

Enjoyed the turtle snorkel very much. We saw a couple of turtles. I would have rather continued snorkeling than having to stop so we could go sailing. But a great time in general! I would recommend this activity.

ウミガメシュノーケリング　ホロカイ・カタマラン号　高確率でウミガメに会えるタートルキャニオンへ！ソフトドリンク&スナック付き＜3時間／英語／ワイキキホテル発＞

I had the best experience! 最高の経験をさせていただきました！

Reviewed by: SUNAPLE

First of all, no one in our family speaks English. I can only convey about 20% of what I want to say (laughs).

Even with an English guide, we were particularly fine. As long as we didn't engage in any reckless behavior, there was no danger aside from natural disasters.

When we arrived at the snorkeling spot, a sea turtle appeared right away. Just being able to see it from the boat made me 80% satisfied, but I was also able to see it up close underwater.

The moment it came up for air was just a brief instant, so even if I spotted it from a distance, I wouldn't have made it in time. But it happened to come up nearby, and I hurried over. It was an emotional moment.

We foolishly brought our 2-year-old, 4-year-old, and 6-year-old with us, but the guides were always there to lend a hand when the kids came up, helping them back onto the boat and checking if they were okay.

The kids quickly got back on the boat, leaving dad as the babysitter.

I wanted to see the turtle one more time, but as everyone started to get out, it felt like it was coming to an end, so I decided to get back on the boat. I happened to tell the guide who was in the water, in broken English, "I wanted to swim with the turtle..." and he said, "Come on!" He was inviting me to come over to see it.

In that moment, I decided to forget about dad and the kids on the boat and hurried to follow him. He was clearly experienced and found a turtle on the ocean floor. But when I looked, it looked more like a rock than a turtle. Then he offered to lend me his camera. When I handed it over, he took pictures of the turtle on the ocean floor. (When I saw them later, they were really great photos!!)

Just as we were about to head back to the boat, another turtle appeared right in front of us! I had heard that touching them would incur a fine, but due to the waves, I almost touched it. To be able to see it at such a close distance was amazing! I was so thrilled.

Thanks to the guide's actions, we had the best experience. I am truly grateful.

For tips, there was a huge transparent bottle on the boat where we were supposed to put them, but I wanted to give him a personal tip. However, since there was a container for tips, even if I just handed him cash, I would still have to put some in the bottle, so I hesitated about giving him a partial amount... (this is where I felt like a typical unsure Japanese person...) In the end, I just put it in the bottle. I might have been better off giving him $10 or $20...

Thank you for a wonderful experience!!

最初に、我が家は誰も英語が話せません。しいていえば私が言いたいことの２０％ぐらいを伝えられる、という程度（笑）

英語のガイドですが、そんな我が家でも特に大丈夫でした。自然災害以外は、逸脱した行為をしなければ危険もありませんので。

シュノーケリングポイントについたとき、すぐに海亀が現れました。船上から見ることができて、もうそれだけで８０％満足した私ですが、なんと水中から間近に見ることもできました。

息継ぎにあがってくるのはほんの一瞬なので、遠くに発見しても泳いでも間に合いません。でもたまたま近くに上がってきて、急いで近寄りました。感動でした。

我が家は無謀にも２歳、４歳、６歳を連れての参加だったのですが、どの子があがるときにもガイドさんたちが手を差し伸べてくれて船に上げてくれたり、大丈夫か声をかけてくれたり。

子どもたちはすぐにあがってしまい、子守役にパパが船上に。

私はもう一度ぐらい亀に会いたいなぁと思いましたが、だんだんみんなが上がってしまって、もう終わりという雰囲気になったので、船上に上がろうとしました。たまたま海中にいたガイドさんに「亀と泳ぎたかったぁ・・・」と片言の英語で言ったら「カモーン！」と。見せてあげるからおいで、というのです。

もうその瞬間に船上にいるパパと子どもたちは忘れることにして、慌ててついていきました。さすがに慣れていて、海底にいる海亀を発見するのです。でも私が見ても亀というより岩。するとカメラを貸してごらんと。それで渡したら海底にいる亀を撮影してきてくれました。（あとで見たらすごく良い写真でした！！）

さて船に戻りましょう、というとき、たまたま目の前にまた亀が！！
触ったら罰金だと聞いていましたが、波のせいで触れてしまいそうでした。そんな距離で会えるなんて！！大感激しました。

ガイドさんの行為のおかげで、最高の体験ができました。本当に感謝です。

チップは船上にある透明の巨大なペットボトルみたいなものに入れるのですが、なんとなく彼には個人的にチップをはずませて差し上げたくて、でもチップの入れ物はあるし、彼にだけ渡してしまうにしても、そっちの容器にも入れるから全額渡すわけにもいかないし、でも中途半端な金額渡すのって変だし・・・と悩んでしまい（このへんが慣れない日本人ぽい・・・）結局ボトルに入れるだけにしてしまいました。彼に１０ドルでも２０ドルでも渡せば良かったかも・・・。

素晴らしい体験をありがとうございました！！

The snorkeling spot was perfect! We were able to swim inches from turtles, see all kinds of fish and the staff members brought an octopus and starfish to the surface for us to touch.
The sailing part afterwords was beautiful and the boat had a netted spot to sit in if you want to go on a Disneyland type splash ride.

We were really excited to do this tour! When we got there the tour guides were very friendly and chill. When we got out to where we were snorkeling I had a bit of a freak out when I got into the water. I looked down and saw so many fish under my feet! The one tour guide came over and helped me overcome my fear. I got in and out of the boat many times. We also saw so many turtles! After snorkeling we went on a nice sail while enjoying some well deserved drinks. All in all this was a fabulous for the price point of the tour! I would totally do this again!

What a wonderful trip!

Reviewed by: Georgia Family

We actually are a family with kids in their 20s but no option for that. We had a wonderful time. the weather was perfect and the water conditions were pretty clear. The turtles were magnificent but there was other wildlife as well--Spinner dolphins, Flying fish, etc. The cruise after the snorkeling was equally as fun. Our captain also had a great choice of music playing. The time went so fast--took the morning cruise which still left us the rest of the day for the beach. Would recommend this to anyone. My only precaution--if you have a anyone in your party with issues of climbing or would not be comfortable walking or sitting on the net of the catamaran you may not enjoy this. We loved it!

First snorkeling experience. 初めてのシュノーケル

Reviewed by: 8an

Recently, my mother, younger brother, and I (in our 20s) participated in this activity.

It was great to see the views of Waikiki while sailing. However, when we arrived at the snorkeling spot, the water was quite deep, and my mother and I felt very scared as soon as we entered the water. We ended up getting back on the boat in less than a minute. My brother, who has diving experience, enjoyed it until the end.

I thought I was prepared based on the experiences I read about, but I was surprised that the snorkeling was in a very deep area rather than a shallow one, and I questioned whether it was appropriate to only have a floatation device at that depth. There was no practice with life jackets or snorkeling, so it might be difficult for those who are trying it for the first time and are not familiar with the sensation. As a snorkeling beginner, I regretted not choosing a safer tour since it was a special trip. I also regret that I caused my mother to feel fear.

If you want to participate but are not confident in your swimming skills, I think you should consider this carefully. The ocean was very beautiful, so it might be a good option for those who just want to enjoy sailing.

先日、母・弟・私（20代）の3人で参加しました。

セーリングでワイキキの景色を見れるのはとても良かったです。
ですが、シュノーケルの場所まで到着した際はかなり水深があり　母と私は海に入った瞬間とても怖くなりました。。（1分も経たずに船へ上がってしまいました＞＜）弟はダイビング経験がある為　最後まで楽しんでいましたが。

体験談を参考に参加したつもりでしたが、浅瀬の方ではなくかなり深い場所でのシュノーケルだったことやあの深さで浮き棒しかないのはどうかと思いました。。ライフジャケット、シュノーケルの練習等は無しでいきなり始まりますので　初めてで感覚が掴めない方には難しいかもしれません。シュノーケル初心者だからこそ、せっかくの旅行ですので、安全なツアーに参加すればよかったと思いました。母にも恐怖心を与えてしまったのも後悔です。。

もし泳ぎに自信がないけど参加したい、という方は考慮したほうが良いと思います。海はとってもきれいだったので、セーリングだけたのしみたい方にはいいかもしれません。

It was a beautiful sea. きれいな海でした

Reviewed by: shio

The day I participated was cloudy, with occasional rain, making it a bit chilly to enter the sea. I went to the meeting place, but there were no signs and no one who looked like they were part of the group... I felt anxious. Eventually, some people who seemed to be participants began to gather, and after some time, a person holding a sign arrived. I felt relieved... The guide spoke in English, so it might be difficult for those who are completely new to snorkeling. However, if you watch the movements of the people around you, you'll be fine. The sea turtles and fish were very beautiful! For those who are not good with the cold, it would be better on a hot day, but the wind from sailing after getting out of the sea can be chilly. I think it's a good idea to prepare long sleeves or a hoodie. If you are prone to seasickness or cannot swim, it might be better to avoid this activity.

参加した日は曇り空で、時々雨も降り、海に入るには少し肌寒い日でした。集合場所に行ったものの、看板もなく、それらしい人もいない…不安。そのうち参加者らしい人たちが集まり始め、その人たちと一緒にいると、時間を過ぎてから看板を持った人がやってきました。ホッとした…。ガイドは英語なので、シュノーケリングが全く初めての人には分かりにくいかも。でも周りの人たちの動きを見ていれば、大丈夫です。ウミガメ、魚たち、とてもきれいでした♪寒いのが苦手な方、暑い日なら良いのですが、海から上がった後のセーリングの風は体が冷えます。長袖やパーカーを用意しておくと良いと思います。船酔いしやすい方、泳げない方は避けたほうがいいかな。

I participated with a friend. I wanted to try something new, but I was actually quite nervous because I'm not very good at swimming. However, I was able to use something like a float, so I didn't have to worry about drowning, which was a relief (laughs). At first, I was both excited and very nervous, and I didn't have the presence of mind to look underwater. But after a little while in the sea, I got used to it. I was able to see many turtles swimming underwater.

After that, we enjoyed about an hour on the boat over the sea. The sea looked very blue and beautiful from the boat. The instructor was serving drinks there, but they weren't free. The hour on the boat was also a lot of fun. Sunscreen is a must for this occasion! My friend and I got badly sunburned and were in a stinging state for about one or two weeks.

私は友達と二人で参加しました。
新しいことを体験してみたいと思い、参加したのですが実際私は泳ぐのがあまり上手でないのでとても緊張しました。しかし浮き輪のようなものを使う事が出来たので溺れる心配はなく、安心しました(笑) 最初は楽しみと思う反面とても緊張していて最初は水中を見る余裕がありませんでしたが、実際海に入って少しするとなれました。水中で泳ぐ亀を沢山みることができました。
その後、船で１時間くらい海の上を堪能しました。船から見る海はとても青く綺麗でした。インストラクターはそこでお酒や飲み物をふるまっていました。飲み物フリーではありません。船での１時間もとても楽しいものとなりました。この時の為に日焼け止めはマストです！私と私の友達は酷く焼けてしまい、１、２週間ほどひりひりした状態でした。

This time, I went to Hawaii with my friends. On the day of snorkeling, it was canceled due to the weather and rough sea conditions, but we rescheduled with the local staff to go on another day that fit our stay. The meeting place was really hard to find, and we couldn't locate it at first.

On the day, after signing up, we waited for the boat a little distance away. I didn't speak Japanese with the local staff, so I wasn't sure if they could speak it, but they were very friendly and kind, so I think they would explain things until anyone who doesn't speak English understands!

Before departure, we could take photos in front of the boat one group at a time. Those who wanted the photos could buy them for $15 after returning from snorkeling!

Besides my friend and me, everyone else was from overseas. I was surprised to see so many Japanese people on Oahu, and it was fun to talk to them. We moved to the sea by boat, but there was absolutely no shade, so we got sunburned quickly... During the transfer, there was an explanation from the staff, but I couldn't hear much because of the noise of the boat. However, they used gestures while talking, so I think I could understand somewhat.

During snorkeling, I was able to see schools of fish and sea turtles!

It was my first time seeing a sea turtle swimming in the ocean up close, and I was very moved! I think it was a really great experience.

First of all, I highly recommend this tour!
After the Golden Week, there were two Japanese participants who brought a friend, along with others from America, Oceania, and Europe.
We set sail while listening to the local guide's somewhat thick-accented English explanation.
(Even if you don't understand English, you can get by with gestures.)

We moved by boat to a snorkeling point not too far from the shore.
There weren't too many different types of fish, but we encountered a lot of fish and, most importantly, many sea turtles.
It was truly lucky to see them swimming alongside us up close.

After snorkeling, we cruised near Diamond Head and encountered a large pod of dolphins.
They entertained us with tornado spins and other antics.

The cheerful captain extended our cruising time significantly beyond the schedule.

This has definitely become one of the tours I want to do again.

I was worried that there was a mistake, but after asking a local, I waited, and the staff started preparing, so we were able to participate.

You can swim with honu (sea turtles)! ホヌ（海亀）と一緒に泳げます！

Reviewed by: ひろろ

Despite the meeting place being at Outrigger Reef, we ended up at Outrigger Waikiki and were 15 minutes late, but the boat arrived just after 8 o'clock. I guess that's American time, right? (laughs)

We arrived at the snorkeling spot in about 10 to 15 minutes. Since it was off Waikiki, we could see Waikiki Beach and the hotels while snorkeling. I was surprised to think we could see sea turtles from such a distance. But we quickly spotted a sea turtle floating on the surface!

As soon as we got into the water, the crew started throwing food to attract the fish. However, the only fish that gathered were dark-colored surgeonfish. There were hardly any colorful tropical fish. But a little further away, there were 5 to 6 of the main attraction, the turtles!!! The water depth was about 7 to 8 meters. The turtles were swimming at about 5 to 6 meters deep, but since I’m good at free diving, I was able to enjoy a rendezvous with the turtles to my heart's content. The turtles seemed accustomed to people and didn’t try to escape even when I got close. Well, touching them is prohibited, so I could only get close, but that was enough to be very satisfying! They occasionally surfaced for air, so even those who can’t dive can enjoy it.

The snorkeling lasted about an hour and a half. After that, we had a 30-minute cruise. The weather was nice, so although the sun was hot, the breeze felt great.

Drinks (cocktails, beer) and photos on board are available for a fee. The snorkeling gear is available for free rental, but there are no fins. I brought my own. The floatation devices are available for free rental, but there are no life jackets, so those who can’t swim might want to prepare accordingly.

待合せ場所がアウトリガーリーフにも係わらず、私たちはアウトリガーワイキキに行ってしまい、集合時間より15分も遅れてしまいましたが、ボートが来たのは8時過ぎ。アメリカ時間ってことでしょうか（笑）

シュノーケリングスポットへは10～15分程度で到着。ワイキキ沖のためシュノーケリングしながらワイキキビーチやホテルが見えるくらいの場所。こんなところで海亀が見えるの？って思う距離です。でもすぐに水面に浮いている海亀を発見！

早速水の中に入ると、船員が餌を撒いて魚を集めてくれます。しかし集まってくる魚は真っ黒のハギ系の魚だけ。カラフルな熱帯魚はほとんどいませんでした。でも、少し離れた所には本命の亀が５～６匹も！！！
水深は７～８メートルというところでしょうか。亀は５～６メートルのところを泳いでいたのですが、私は素潜りが得意なため亀との水中ランデブーを思う存分楽しむことができました。亀は人に慣れているのか近づいても逃げようとしません。ま、触れることは禁止されているので近づくだけですがそれでも十分満足できます！
息をするためにたまに浮き上がってくるので、潜ることができない人でも楽しむことができると思います。

シュノーケリングの時間は1時間半くらいでしょうか。
そのあとは30分ほどのクルージング。天気も良かったので日差しは暑いものの風が気持ちよかったです。

船内での飲み物（カクテル、ビール）と写真は有料です。
シュノーケリングセットは無料貸出ですがフィンはありません。私は持参しました。
浮き棒は無料貸出ですがライフジャケットもありませんので、泳げない方は準備された方がいいかもしれません。

I thought, "Is this going to be canceled?" as my husband and I headed to the meeting place, but to our surprise, everyone was cheerful and said, "Once you're inside, it's the same! We're going ahead today!"
While I was relieved that it wasn't canceled, I couldn't help but feel cold waiting at the meeting spot due to the heavy rain and strong winds.

The snorkeling itself was a lot of fun, and I was very satisfied because I got to see many sea turtles and fish! We brought our own snorkel sets and fins, which made swimming easier. They provided us with foam sticks, allowing us to enjoy it for a long time.

However, the sailing after snorkeling was just freezing, and I was shivering. The towel I brought was wet from wiping off the rain and my body, so even covering myself with it didn't help, and even though I had never experienced seasickness before, I ended up feeling nauseous. The weather changed from rain to cloudy.

I realized I should have brought an extra towel for drying off and taken seasickness medication. When we left the hotel, it wasn't raining, so it was a big miscalculation.

シュノーケリングツアーの前日までは毎日晴天のワイキキでしたが、集合時間の少し前に朝食をとりながら外を見ると、大雨で風も強くなってしまった。
「これは中止かなぁ～」と旦那と残念に思いながら集合場所に行ってみると、「中に入っちゃえば同じだよ～！今日は催行OKだよ～！」と陽気な様子。
中止にならなくて嬉しい反面、大雨で風が強くて集合場所で待っている間も寒くてしょうがなかったです。

シュノーケリング自体はとっても楽しく、ホヌにもお魚にもたくさん会えたので大満足！！
私たちはシュノーケルセットとフィンも持参していたので泳ぎやすかったです。
発砲スチロールの棒は貸してくださり、長時間でも楽しめました。

しかしシュノーケリングの終了後のセーリングは、ただただ寒くて凍えていました。
持参したタオルも雨と体を拭いて濡れていたため、それを体にかけても寒くて、尚且つ、今まで一度も船酔いのした事のない私でも、船酔いしてしまいました。
お天気は雨から曇りになっていました。

船酔いの薬を飲んで、寒さ対策は忘れずに体を拭く以外のタオルを持っていったらよかったなと感じました。
宿泊ホテルを出発するときには雨は降っていなかったので、大誤算でした。

ウミガメシュノーケリング　ホロカイ・カタマラン号　高確率でウミガメに会えるタートルキャニオンへ！ソフトドリンク&スナック付き＜3時間／英語／ワイキキホテル発＞

It's cold after snorkeling! シュノーケリングの後は寒いよ～

Reviewed by: yoursign

There were only two Japanese families, and the rest were foreigners. The instructor's English had a thick accent (Yankee-style speaking), making it difficult to understand. I could only grasp about half of the meaning. Still, it was not a problem. We snorkeled for about 30 minutes to an hour off the coast of Waikiki. Since we had elementary school children with us, we brought life jackets, snorkels, masks, fins, and marine shoes from Japan. We encountered fish and turtles (honu). Bringing a waterproof camera is the best.

We departed in the morning, and the weather was cloudy with occasional sunshine, so it was cold on the boat after snorkeling. Especially with wet swimsuits and rash guards, it was chilly. It's essential to bring a thick bath towel from the hotel. Foreigners seem fine being naked, though.

After that, we went sailing towards Kahala. It was nice to see the Waikiki Beach hotel group from a different angle offshore. The group photo taken at departure was about $15, roughly the size of B5. It turned out quite nicely. This tour might be a bit tough for children under kindergarten age.

In summary: It's impossible for toddlers to be in the sea without being able to touch the bottom, just with a Styrofoam stick! Life jackets are essential. Bring a bath towel for warmth. And it costs $15.

日本人ファミリーは２組だけでそれ以外は外国人。インストラクターの英語が訛っていて（ヤンキー風しゃべり）聞き取りにくい。半分くらいの意味しかわからず。それでも問題なし。ワイキキの沖合いで３０分から１時間くらいシュノーケリング。うちは小学生もいたので日本からライフベスト、シュノーケル、水中マスク、フィン、マリンシューズを持参。魚や亀（ホヌ）に遭遇。防水カメラ持参がベスト。
朝出発で天候がくもり、時々晴れだったのでシュノーケリングの後は船上では寒いです。特に濡れた水着やラッシュガードは寒い。ホテルから厚手のバスタオル持参が必須。外人は裸でも平気みたいですが。
その後カハラ方面へセーリング。沖合いからのワイキキビーチホテル群がいつもと違う方向から見れて良かったです。
出発時に撮ったグループ写真が確か１５＄。Ｂ５くらいの大きさ。　なかなかきれいに撮れてましたよ。幼稚園児以下はこのツアーは少々きついかも。
総括：足の届かない海に発砲スチロールの棒だけで幼児は無理！ライフベストが必須です。
寒さ対策のバスタオル。　そして１５＄。

ウミガメシュノーケリング　ホロカイ・カタマラン号　高確率でウミガメに会えるタートルキャニオンへ！ソフトドリンク&スナック付き＜3時間／英語／ワイキキホテル発＞

I was able to swim with sea turtles! ウミガメと泳げました！

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

Off Waikiki Beach.
Even though we only went out to where we could see the coastline, we were able to see sea turtles swimming.
I've experienced snorkeling in various countries, but this was my first encounter with sea turtles.
It was truly amazing, and my son was thrilled as well.

There are no life jackets available for rent.
They do provide foam sticks that can be used for underwater relaxation therapy.
I recommend that those who are not confident swimmers bring their own floaties or similar items.
Especially during this time of year, the waves are high and swimming can be difficult.

While sailing, if you are at the front of the yacht, you might get splashed with water.
Be careful in winter as it can be cold.

ワイキキビーチ沖。
海岸が見えるくらいまでしか出ていないのにウミガメが泳ぐ姿を見ることができました。
シュノーケリングは色々な国の海で経験していますがウミガメとの遭遇は初めてでした。
もう大感動です。息子も大喜びでした。

ライフベストの貸し出しはありません。
水中リラクゼーションエステ？で使うような発砲スチロールの棒は貸してくれます。
泳ぎに自信のない方はご自分で浮き輪など用意されることをお勧めします。
特に今の時期は波も高く泳ぎにくいので。

セーリング中はヨットの前方に居ると水をかぶってしまいます。
冬は寒いので要注意です。

What was great was that there were no other Japanese people besides us. When you often book optional marine sports tours, they tend to be filled with Japanese participants, but in this case, there were no other Japanese except for us. Consequently, the language spoken by the instructor was English, which might be tough for those who don't speak it. Additionally, only the minimum safety instructions for snorkeling were provided, so beginners might feel anxious. That said, when I did snorkeling for the first time, I just jumped in and copied what I saw, so it might be okay even for complete beginners.

On the day of the tour, I made a mistake with the meeting time and was late, but as soon as I realized my mistake and called, they laughed and said they would wait for me. That was a relief...

The snorkeling spot was amazing; there were so many turtles, and I encountered a lot of turtles and fish! After snorkeling, we had a cruise from off Waikiki to around Diamond Head, which was also great! I would love to join this tour again.

良かったのは、なによりも日本人が私たち以外いなかったこと。
良くマリンスポーツのオプショナルツアーを申し込むと、日本人だらけのツアーになりがちなのですが、これは日本人は私たち以外いませんでした。
必然的にインストラクターの喋る言語は英語なので、英語が出来ない人には辛いかもしれません。
また、シュノーケルに関する最低限の注意事項のみしかレクチャーされないため、シュノーケルが初めての人は不安に感じるかもしれません。
といっても私も初めてシュノーケルをやった時は見よう見真似でいきなりやったので、全くの初心者でも大丈夫なのかもしれませんが。

当日、集合時間を間違え遅刻をしたのですが、その間違いに気が付いた瞬間、電話をしたら、笑って待っててもらえました。良かった・・・。

シュノーケルをしたポイントは、本当に亀がいっぱいいたので、沢山の亀と魚に出会えましたよ！
シュノーケル後は、ワイキキ沖からダイヤモンドヘッドあたりまでのクルーズがついていたので、それも良かったです！
またこのツアーに参加したいです。

Full of honu (sea turtles). ホヌだらけ

Reviewed by: ひまわり

I participated alone, leaving my friend who is prone to seasickness behind. This tour is perfect for those who want to see sea turtles! If you wait, they come up to the surface for air, so even those who can't dive can see them up close. It's definitely better than the roped-off basking area at Laniakea Beach (laughs).

I read that they don't provide fins, so I brought my own. I didn't use them, but the floating stick that serves as a life jacket seemed a bit unreliable, so I think those who aren't confident in their swimming should wear a rash guard or bring a floatie for a more enjoyable experience.

There were only black fish, so you can't expect to see tropical fish while snorkeling. It was disappointing that we couldn't see dolphins during the cruising, but it was still a pleasant experience.

船酔いに弱いツレを置いて一人で参加しました。
ウミガメを見たい！って人にはもってこいのツアーです。
待っていれば息継ぎに海面まで上がってくるので潜れない人でも間近で見ることができます。ラニアケアビーチのロープ張られた甲羅干しより断然いいですよ(笑)
足ひれは貸してくれないとの書き込みがあったので持参しました。私は使いませんでしたが、ライフジャケット代わりの浮き棒は頼りなさそうだったので、泳ぎに自身のない人はラッシュガード着たり浮き輪を持っていったほうが安心して楽しめると思います。
魚は黒いのしかいなかったので、熱帯魚のシュノーケリング
は期待できないです。
クルージングではイルカを見ることができなかったので残念でしたが、気持ちよかったです。

Awesome deal for an adventure

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

Capt Mike and his deckhand Travis were awesome. We saw plenty of sea turtles and a baby dolphin even did a flip for us! The sailing after the snorkeling was so relaxing as we cruised by diamond head. It's like an adventure that comes from a movie. The catamaran was big and comfortable. I miss Hawaii just reminiscing on this adventure. This is a must go cruise and snorkel trip.

At Outrigger Reef on the Beach, you can check in, board the boat, and store your beach sandals right on the beach. They also offer commemorative photo sessions for $15. The activity starts when the staff arrives with the participant list at the designated time.

There is an area offshore where you can see schools of fish and green sea turtles, and many participants enjoy snorkeling there until they get bored and return to the boat (about 30 minutes). Life jackets are not provided during the ride. For concerns about buoyancy while snorkeling, soft foam noodles are available for use. Once everyone is back on the boat, drink orders are taken, and then you sail around Diamond Head until it's time to return. During this time, you might encounter dolphins or get soaked by big waves.

There is an emergency toilet located in the left hull of the catamaran.
