I was able to see a total of three turtles! I think it's definitely a spot where you can see them. The guide was a foreigner, and when I participated, there were no Japanese participants, so I was a bit anxious, but there was nothing to worry about. I think it's a good idea to take motion sickness medication, as I experienced seasickness and nausea from the waves.
合計で3匹のカメを見ることができました!
多分スポット的には絶対見られるポイントなのだと思います。
ガイドさんは外人で私が参加した時は日本人の参加者はいなかったので少し不安でしたが、困るようなことはなかったです。
船酔いと波酔いをしたので酔い止めは飲んでおくといいと思います。
酔い止めは飲んでおくと良いです。

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。

The staff was friendly, and there were enough staff members for participants to swim comfortably! They took the time to thoroughly explain safety precautions, such as not swimming at the back of the boat, and they were always watching over the participants. There was also a practice for the OK sign and help sign, which was reassuring. We were the only Japanese participants, but there were many children joining, and we were able to communicate and have fun. There was an incident where a participant's hat flew into the sea, but the staff returned the boat to the point where the hat was and jumped in to retrieve it. The snorkeling time was long, and if you get tired, you can return to the boat via the stairs! I highly recommend it!
スタッフはフレンドリーで、参加者に対してスタッフの数が多く安心して泳ぐことができました!
船の後ろ側は泳がないことなど、注意事項の説明も時間をかけてしっかりしてくださり、また、スタッフが常時参加者の様子を見ていました。
okのサインやヘルプのサインも事前練習があり、安心でした。
日本人参加者は我々だけでしたが、子供の参加も多く、楽しくコミュニケーションを取ることができました。
途中参加者の帽子が海に飛ばされるアクシデントがありましたが、船を帽子があるポイントに戻し、スタッフさんが飛び込んで取りに行っていました。
シュノーケリングの時間は長く、疲れたら階段から船に戻ることができます!お勧めです!
However, today the wind was very strong, and my companion seemed to be struggling with seasickness. I recommend bringing motion sickness medication.
ただ今日は風が非常に強く、同行者は船酔いで辛そうでした。。酔い止めを持参することをお勧めします。

I encountered sea turtles several times, but the beauty of the ocean and the variety and number of other fish were not very impressive... It might be more enjoyable to participate in the sandbar activities.

It's inexpensive, but there's a reason for the low price...

This was one of the best catamaran cruises I’ve been on. My husband and I had our last full day on the island and i wanted to snorkel to see the Honu . So we booked this excursion and it was the best way to end our honeymoon . The crew is amazing and so friendly . Me being and island girl and my hubby from the mainland i had to give him the best experience before we left . This did not disappoint . I can only remember Phoenix name but everyone on 5/18 1145 crew were wonderful. The sailing after the snorkeling was a great way to end the adventure . I recommend this highly . MAHALO !
If you’re prone to getting sick please take something prior. No fun watching people vomit in water

I booked this tour on my last trip to Oahu and was really excited about it. The downside is I ended up getting sea sick while I was in the water :( Even though it ended up cutting my experience with the sea turtles short, the crew was so kind and went out of their way to make sure I was feeling better and still had a great time.
I highly recommend this experience and can't wait to come back and try again (with better motion-sickness meds :) )

I kept jumping back and forth with scuba diving vs snorkeling. I’m glad I chose snorkeling! our instructor was Rida, he made the experience great with his cheesey jokes and his knowledge of the sea life. He was also very kind and understanding to those who were very afraid of deep water and using the snorkel for the first time.

I was able to see sea turtles from the boat, but it was difficult to swim with them as I had imagined. Since all the explanations were in English, I could enjoy the exotic atmosphere, but there were parts I didn't fully understand, which made me a bit anxious. The weather was nice, but perhaps because it was the rainy season, the sea was murky, and I couldn't see down to the bottom. Still, I think it was a valuable experience.
船の上からウミガメを見ることができたのですが、想像していた一緒に泳ぐことは難しかったです。説明は全て英語のため、異国気分を味わうことは出来ましたが、全て理解できないので不安な部分はありました。天気はよかったのですが、雨季だからか海が濁っていて、下まで見ることが出来ませんでした。それでも貴重な経験ができたと思います。

The crew for Hawea deserved an extra round of applause. They are the epitome of friendly professionals. The day we did our snorkel trip, it was a bit choppy due to a storm that had passed the previous night. Unfortunately, it left several passengers pretty sick. The crew did an excellent job taking care of everyone, and making sure everyone stayed safe!
If you have any kind of motion sickness, this might not be the best choice.

For most of our group this was their first time snorkeling. Ryan was so patient, helpful and supportive, and gave great instructions — we highly recommend snorkeling in the Magic Island Lagoon for first timers. And with Ryan’s excellent support, videos of our experience, and patience we all had an awesome time. Be sure to heed the 30 minutes early arrival as we had a difficult time finding them (no sign) but they were near life station 1G which should be communicated in advance. We still got started right on time so it all worked out.

It's hard to say whether Waikiki sail is a great experience or not. They called us the night before around 8:00 p.m. letting us know that they quite doing the afternoon tours and asked if we could come earlier. Unfortunately we had a hard to get breakfast reservation and with less than 24 hours notice, we could't change it even if we wanted to. With that said, Waikiki sail was great at finding a different company that could take us which was awesome. Despite my frustration, I had to at least give them an okay rating for that. We sailed with Moana adventures and had a great time so if Waikiki sails experience is similar and they don't tell you the night before that a change has been made, they are probably great.

We did 2 turtle snorkel's while in Hawaii, this one was not really the crews fault that it was not my favorite as the seas were pretty rough that day.
This would be a much better experience if there wasn't as many people on board.
Surprisingly, there were a lot of tourists with little to no experience with swimming or the ocean. Please if you are not experienced with swimming stay on the boat.
We were able to see a couple of tours and because of the non-experienced children on board, the fish were well "fed".
Bumpy ride and fun wave time on the trampoline! My sister and I loved that part of it!
Overall, pretty good experience, never enough time in the water!
Be prepared, especially on a smaller boat.

Big shout out to Scott and his team! We just took our first ever snorkel and my wife does not swim well and is afraid of the water. Scott is a very calm and encouraging person, my wife held on to the float and with the life vest had no worries about sinking. Sure the water was murky today, yet we saw fish, and held a starfish, a sea cucumber, and an urchin. Way cool!
