We had a fabulous swim with turtles adventure and even some whale watching on way back to shore! Staff was very helpful and kept a good watch on everyone in the water! If you’re prone to motion sickness you are likely to feel it on return trip so prepare!

The crew was great, very friendly and helpful. Such beautiful views. The current was strong during our snorkel time which was tough, I’d definitely like to do it again when it’s calmer (obviously nothing we can control). We saw and got close to a turtle, dolphins, fishes. My daughter saw fishes that looked like Dory and Nemo!

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 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!
船にはお手洗いもありますが使用していないので綺麗かは分かりません…。他の方は何人か使用されていました。後払いですが飲み物も船上で買えます。(ソフトドリンクやお酒など)またスナック菓子を無料で食べてねと言われます。おすすめを食べましたが本当に無料でした。
体験後、水着を着替えるところはあまりありませんが受付のあるホテルの一階のお手洗いはロックがかかっておらず使用できたのでそこで着替えることも出来ます。セーリングで酔っている方も居ませんでした。時間によってはイルカが跳ねているところが遠くに見えたり、2~3月はクジラも見れたりします。体験日はセーリング中にイルカやクジラが少し遠くに見えました!

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.

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.

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!

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)

Don’t mistake their wry humour for un professionalism. Saw them take another’s concerns with slightly damaged gear seriously. Would’ve liked a more guided experience on the water where to best see stuff but for the cost, I can’t blame em. A dolphin pod swam up to the boat on the way back and they stopped to let us experience it.

It was easy to get around since the boat departs from Waikiki. At the snorkeling point, there were turtles that we could see up close. The water off Waikiki was also very clear and beautiful.
Additionally, after snorkeling, we cruised around to the back of Diamond Head, which made it feel like more than just a snorkeling trip. The staff only spoke English, but they provided explanations in Japanese, so even those who are not good at English will be fine!
ワイキキから船が出るので、移動が楽でした。シュノーケルポイントもカメが居て間近で見れました。ワイキキ沖でも水が澄んでいて凄く綺麗でした。
また、シュノーケルの後、ダイヤモンドヘッドの裏位までクルージングしてくれて、ただシュノーケルやってお終いって感じじゃなかったのが良かったです。スタッフは英語だけですが、日本語の説明書きを見せてくれるので、英語が苦手な方でも大丈夫です!
If you're looking to do some quick snorkeling nearby, I recommend this!
