2.5-Hour Turtle Snorkel Sail Tour from Waikiki Beach - Cold Brew Coffee, Snacks & One Drink Included

Fantastic experience!!

Reviewed by: Rebecca Shaw

The captain and crew were engaging, fun and so very very kind. As a heavy traveler I don’t often put myself out there unless I KNOW I can do all of the activity. I was worried about being able to get out of the water after snorkeling. They never once made me feel like I was a pain, uncomfortable, or “less than” that is not a typical experience, so not only did they get my business for the snorkeling trip, I also went on their sunset cruise for the next two days. I will shout their praises to the rooftops!

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 was the best snorkeling and sailing experience. 最高のシュノーケリング&セーリングでした

Reviewed by: Spitz_Roku

Overview:
The meeting point is the Holocai Catamaran booth located on the beach side of the Outrigger Reef Waikiki Beach Resort on the first floor of the hotel. If you're unsure, you can enter the hotel from the Steak Shack side and walk towards the abc store to find it.

There, you check in. There are about 12 participants. Since the boat will be moored on the sandy beach, you'll need to take off your sandals to board. About four strong men will be your guides. They look impressive, like old-time sailors from a movie. As I listened to the explanations (in English), we soon moved to an area where we could see honu (sea turtles). (I didn't feel much rocking.) Most participants were foreigners, with only a few Japanese. You can borrow snorkeling sets and life jackets. Wearing the jacket is mandatory, but whether to inflate it is up to personal judgment. Beginners should inflate it, while experienced snorkelers who want to dive can keep it deflated. The spots where honu are found are crowded with various tour groups, so we shared the space and slowly approached the honu together. We observed the honu as they surfaced for air, keeping a respectful distance. The guide provided friendly explanations and directed us on where to go. However, in the latter half, things became less organized, and people started to act freely, so it's good to occasionally look up to see where the guide is or swim towards the direction of someone calling out "Holokai!" When there was a honu underwater, I borrowed an underwater camera from another guest (I used a GoPro), and the guide dove down to take close-up shots. It was a wonderful memory. After observing for a while, we returned to the boat and had free time sailing around Waikiki's waters. Soft drinks were free, while alcohol was available for purchase (ID is only required when buying; if you don't plan to buy, you don't need an ID). Participants freely took photos and relaxed on the net at the front of the boat... The guide was always cheerful and even spoke a little Japanese when he realized we were from Japan... We spent a leisurely time on our way back...

Impression:
Of course, it depends on the weather and waves that day, but in my case, I hardly felt any rocking and was very comfortable. It's not particularly Japanese-friendly, and the vibe and way of speaking are completely native, but they don't say anything too difficult, and if you ask, they will teach you very friendly. If the weather is nice, you might get sunburned, so I recommend bringing long sleeves and sunglasses. If you have an underwater camera, I definitely recommend bringing it. After getting off the boat, there is a Steak Shack right in front, so I had lunch there.

Since the atmosphere is quite international, those who are not comfortable with that should consider it, but it was a very pleasant experience that made me feel like I was in a tropical paradise. There was no pressure to do anything in particular, and everyone enjoyed their travels freely, creating a relaxed atmosphere.

概要：
集合場所はアウトリガー リーフ ワイキキビーチリゾートのビーチ側のホテル内1FにあるHolocai Catamaranのブース。よくわからない場合はステーキシャック側からホテル内に入ってabc storeあたりまで行くとあります。

そこで受付。参加人数は12名ほど。砂浜にボートがつくのでサンダルを脱いで乗船。屈強な男たち4名ほどがガイドをしてくれる。かっこいい。映画の中の昔の船乗りみたいにかっこいい。なんとなく説明(英語)を聞いているといつの間にかホヌ(ウミガメ)がいる辺りに移動。(あまり揺れは感じませんでいた)参加者の多くは外国人。日本人はわずか。借りれるのはシュノーケリングセットと救命ジャケット。ジャケットは着用マストだがふくらませるかどうかは個人判断。初心者なら膨らませ、経験者で潜水したい場合は空気を入れなければ良い。ホヌがいるスポットは様々はツアーの客が群がっているので、譲り合ってゆっくりみんなでホヌに近づく。息継ぎのために水面まで上がってくるホヌを一定の距離を保ちながら観察。ガイドがフレンドリーに説明をしてくれたりどっちに行くかを案内してくれる。ただ後半は段々と統率がなくなってきて自由に行動し始めるので、たまには顔を上げてガイドがどこにいるのか、またはホロカイ！と声を上げているほうへ泳いで迷子にならないように。水下にホヌがいたときは、水中カメラを持っている客から(私はgopro)借りて、ガイドが下まで潜って間近で撮影してくれた。とてもいい思い出。ある程度観察したら船に戻り、残りの時間をワイキキの海をセーリングしながら自由時間。ソフトドリングは無料。アルコールは有料(購入時だけIDが必要。その予定なければIDは要らない)参加者各々が自由に写真を撮ったり船先端にある網？の上で寛いだり…ガイドは常に明るく接してくれたり、日本から来たとわかると少し覚えている日本語を話してくれたり…かなりゆったりと時間を過ごしながら帰路へ…

感想：
もちろんその日の天気や波に寄りますが、私の場合、揺れはほとんど気にならず、とても快適に過ごせました。日本語フレンドリーではありませんし、完全にネイティブのノリや喋り方ですが、そこまで難しいことは言いませんししませんし、聞けばとてもフレンドリーに教えてくれます。天気がいい場合、日焼けするので長袖やサングラスを持ってくと良いと思います。水中カメラはあれば是非とも持っていくことをおすすめします。
船から降りた後は目の前にステークシャックがあるので、そのままお昼に食べました。

もちろん海外なノリが多いため、苦手な方は考慮されたほうが良いですが、とても気分の良い、南国にきたなーーーーと思える体験でした。特に何を強要されるわけでもなく、各々が自由に旅行を謳歌している、そんな雰囲気でした。

I was able to see about 3 turtles and an octopus. They don’t go too far out and it’s a pretty quick trip if you want to see some sea life and also do other things with your day. The catamaran ride was smooth and I enjoyed the short ride. Had a cocktail on our way back. Crew was friendly and couldn’t ask for a better time. Oh the music was great too!!

The staff were kind! スタッフさんが親切でした！

Reviewed by: Nicole

I only understand a little English, but when it comes to snorkeling, just communicate your fin size in US sizes, and once you're in the water, you can follow the staff without any issues. There were many sea turtles and beautiful fish!

On the boat, just sit back and enjoy without doing anything dangerous! The staff was very kind, providing cold water as a service and being attentive to the passengers, which made the experience very enjoyable.

The meeting place is at the location on Google Maps listed on this site, where you should look for the boat labeled "MOANA." The meeting time is 7:30, and we boarded around 8:00. The staff called out to us near the boat around that time. I highly recommend it!

片言の英語しかわからないのですが、シュノーケルではフィンのUSサイズを伝えることと、海に入ったらスタッフさんについていけば問題ないです。ウミガメやきれいな魚がたくさんいました！
船上では危ないことをせず座って楽しめばOKです！
サービスで冷たいお水を出してくれたり乗客に気配りしてくれたりスタッフさんが優しくとても楽しめました。

集合場所は、このサイトにのってるGoogle Mapの場所に行き、MOANAと書かれた船を見つけましょう。集合時間は7:30で乗船するのは8時頃でした。
8時頃にスタッフさんが船の近くで声をかけてくれました。
とてもおすすめです！

アトランティス潜水艦ツアー　ハワイの海底30mを進む海中アドベンチャー ＜ヒルトン・ハワイアン・ビレッジ発／日本語ナレーション（要事前ダウンロード）＞

Disappointing! 期待はずれ!

Reviewed by: Yuki-chan

The water was murky and visibility was not very good, which was disappointing. Since we departed in the early afternoon, it might have been murky because of that. If we had gone in the early morning, the sea might have been calm and clear, allowing for better visibility. However, I was able to experience the thrill of navigating through the 30-meter deep sea.

海の中は濁っておりあまり良く見えず期待以下でした。午後一番での出発だったので濁っていたのかも知れません。朝一番だったら海は穏やかで透明でもう少し良く見えたのかも知れません。水深30メートルの海の中を航行しているというドキドキ感を味わうことができました。

Island Splash Tours Small-Group Turtle Canyon Snorkel Cruise in Waikiki

Amazing-

Reviewed by: Dr. Moore

Snorkeling is a family favorite and we booked a tour with Island Splash Tours as part of a birthday celebration. It was such an absolute pleasure going out with Captain Preston and Alex. We are in Hawaii fairly often and are looking forward to future tours with them. We really appreciated their knowledgeable approach to staying safe and making it fun for all of us. It was much more of a private experience compared to the tours we have taken on the larger boats and it made it all the more special. Everything from helping us select the best time of day to making sure everyone had a wonderful experience was done with such thoughtfulness and professionalism. A “little bird” even told Captain Preston about a family song that he made a point to play as we can back into the harbor. We all felt spoiled and loved every moment of our tour. As a Navy family we also really appreciate the military discount he offers. Completely recommend Island Splash Tours to anyone thinking about a boat or snorkeling tour!!

Catamaran Snorkle Turtle Canyon Waikiki

Reviewed by: Bev

Great 2.5 hours on and in the water. The catamaran was the best way to sail / boat to the location. On the way we saw dolphins and then several turtles at the site. Plenty of time to snorkle and experience sea turtles and view the fish. Would highly recommend the Mana Kai Catamaran as it has less people, more exciting with waves and sailing and the crew was fantastic!

During the cruise, I encountered a pod of dolphins!! They were jumping around just like you would see in an aquarium, and it was amazing! Also, there were plenty of sea turtles swimming around, which was great!!

I was expecting to see tropical fish like Nemo since it was a glass-bottom boat, but I only saw some dark, plain fish, which was a bit disappointing. However, I'm glad I participated!

The Mana Kai Catamaran snorkel experience was absolutely incredible. I would 100% recommend booking if you’re looking to come face-to-face with different fish and turtles. The trip included a lovely boat ride to turtle bay where we were given snorkeling gear and a floatation device. I was afraid we weren’t going to see any turtles, but the trip did not disappoint. The team was very professional, fun, and helpful. Overall, it was a memorable experience for all to enjoy.

I encountered a sea turtle. ウミガメに出会えました

Reviewed by: Mido

The meeting place was hard to find, and it took 20 minutes after the meeting time for the guide to finally show up. The guide only provided explanations in English, with no simple Japanese at all. I struggled to get used to putting on the snorkel and couldn't get into the water for a while. The guide mentioned that they couldn't take responsibility for those who couldn't swim, so they advised us not to swim. I think it would have been helpful to have a brief lecture on tips for breathing with the snorkel. Once we set sail, everything went smoothly, and we were able to see sea turtles coming up to the surface multiple times, which was amazing.

集合場所がわかりづらく、集合時間から20分経ってようやくガイドさんが出てきました。
ガイドは英語の説明のみで、簡単な日本語も一切無し。
シュノーケルの付け方に慣れず、なかなか海に入れないでいたら、泳げない人は責任が取れないから泳がないでほしい、と言った話をされましたが、シュノーケルの呼吸の仕方のコツなど簡単なレクチャーがあってもいいと思います。
出航してからの手際はよく、ウミガメは海面付近に何度も出てきたので間近で見れました。

Just once? 一度だけなら？

Reviewed by: アラフォー夫婦

First of all, I admit my own fault, but when I arrived at the meeting point exactly at 11:00 for the boat that was scheduled to depart at 11:00, it left right in front of me. In the end, I was able to change to the next boat an hour later.

As for the view from the submarine, the water clarity was low, and there were only a few fish; I saw a small shark once or twice at most. My 3-year-old child started to get bored after about 10 minutes, and the crew talked non-stop for an hour, which was quite painful for us since we didn't understand English. The foreign guests on board also seemed to be smiling awkwardly and didn't look like they were having much fun.

As an experience, I wouldn't discourage anyone from trying it once, but when I calmly looked back at the cost, I concluded that I definitely wouldn't do it a second time.

まずこれは自分も悪いんですが、
11時出発の船で11時ピッタリに集合場所に着いたら、目の前で出発されてしまいました。
最終的にはその1時間後の便に変更してもらえましたが。
あとは潜水艦から見える景色も透明度低く魚が少し、一度か二度だけ小さいサメが見えた程度。
3歳の子供は10分ほどで飽き始め、
クルーが1時間ずっと喋りっぱなしで、
英語わからない自分達にはかなり苦痛でした。
乗ってる外国の方も苦笑気味であんまり面白そうな感じではなかったです。
体験としては一度経験する事は止めないですが、冷静に金額見返したらまず2回目は無いよね。という結論に至りました。

For those who are okay with just a general understanding, the staff will explain things in an easy-to-understand manner, so please give it a try. I was able to see both sea turtles and wild dolphins perfectly!
