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)>

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。

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

Amazing

Reviewed by: Raoury

Truly an incredible experience; managed to see a pod of dolphins on the way there, and multiple turtles once we got to Turtle Canyon, its basically like swimming in an aquarium. The boat isn't the largest of ones you see going out there but it allowed for us to hang our legs off the side into the water as it sailed out, just totally absorbing the vibes of it all. Great price for an amazing experience.

Reviewed by: きらりん

I arrived at the meeting place on time, but there were no tour staff, which made me anxious. Since everything is in English, I recommend joining a tour with Japanese-speaking staff for those who feel uneasy. 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!

集合場所に時間通りに着いたのにツアースタッフがいなくて不安になりました。全て英語なので、不安な方は日本語スタッフのいるツアーに参加される事をお勧めします。何となくでも良い方にはスタッフが分かりやすい言葉て教えてくれるので、参加してみて下さい。ウミガメも野生のイルカもバッチリ見ることができました!

Beautiful sunny day off Waikiki

Reviewed by: Palmer family

Our family spent the day sailing to Turtle Canyon where we stopped to snorkel in the warm waters off Waikiki. The equipment provided was great (mask, snorkel, flotation device) and our guides were friendly and made sure we had the opportunity to see plenty of wildlife. Our family swam with turtles, but sailing on the catamaran was just as exciting! It was easy to locate our catamaran from the beach and our family managed to get free parking at the Kapiolani park.

It looks like you're scuba diving! スキューバダイビングしてるみたい!

Reviewed by: ナポリーナ

It felt like we were casually scuba diving down to the seabed. I was very satisfied to see various sizes of fish and sea turtles! The water can get murky or hard to see depending on the currents and weather, but I think only those with a broad mindset who can accept that should go.

海底までいくので、気軽にスキューバダイビングをしているようでした。そして大小様々な魚やウミガメが見れて大満足でした!潮流、天気によって海水が濁ったり見えにくかったりするようですが、それも仕方がないと思える心が広い人だけがいけばいいと思います。

I couldn't see very well. あんまりよく見えませんでした

Reviewed by: 3号くん

The experience was not very good considering the high price. Since it's a submarine, the windows are small and visibility is poor, so I couldn't see much. I didn't really feel like I was diving, but I did feel a bit nauseous. I was hoping to see sea turtles, but unfortunately, I didn't see any.

高い値段の割には体験としてあまり良くなかったです。
潜水艦なので窓が小さく、見通しもよくないのであまり良く見えませんでした。
潜っている実感も特にないですが少し酔います。
ウミガメも見れるかと思ったけど見れず残念

My family had so much fun turtle snorkeling.

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 see both dolphins and sea turtles! イルカにもホヌにも会えました!

Reviewed by: sora

I chose this tour because the meeting place was close to my hotel and there weren't many options available at the last minute, but it turned out to be a great decision. I had a wonderful experience.

When we arrived at the snorkeling point by boat, we encountered a pod of dolphins! We enjoyed watching the dolphins from the boat.

Once in the water, I swam surrounded by schools of colorful fish of various sizes. (The staff threw food from the boat, so many fish gathered around.) After that, the staff guided us by swimming to the turtle point. We were able to see three turtles that day. They occasionally came up to the surface for air, allowing us to see them up close, which was incredibly exciting!

After the snorkeling time ended, we returned to the boat and sailed out to sea with the sails up, moving quite fast. I was fine, but those who are sensitive to motion might want to be cautious.

The website mentioned bringing a "photo ID," so I brought my passport, but it wasn't required. I didn't read it carefully, but it seems it was needed if you wanted to purchase alcohol on the boat. I misunderstood and thought it was required for the tour participation, so I would appreciate it if the wording could be changed.

After getting out of the water, it can be chilly with the sea breeze, so it's better to have a long-sleeved cover-up or a large towel. Also, there are no staff members who speak Japanese. They explain the precautions before entering the water, so having good listening skills would be helpful. (Since they use gestures, you might manage if you can catch some key words.)

集合場所が宿泊ホテルに近かったのと、間際の予約で他にあまり無かったので選びましたが、結果的に大正解でした。とても素晴らしい体験が出来ました。
ボートでスノーケリングポイントに着いた頃合いで、イルカの群れに遭遇!
ボートの上からしばしイルカ見物。
海に入り、大小色とりどりの魚の群れに囲まれながら遊泳。
(スタッフがボートから餌を投げるので沢山集まってきます)
その後、ホヌポイントまでスタッフが泳いで誘導してくれました。
この日は3匹のホヌに会えました。時おり水面まで息をしに上がってくるので本当に真横にホヌを見ることが出来、大感激!
スノーケリングタイムが終わった後は、ボートに戻り、沖合まで帆を上げてかなり飛ばしていきます。私は大丈夫でしたが、揺れに弱い人は要注意です。
WEBには持ち物に『写真付きのID』と書かれていたのでわざわざパスポートを持っていきましたが、提示は求められませんでした。よく読まなかったのがいけないですが、ボート上でお酒を購入したいときに必要ということだったようです。ツアー参加の際に掲示を求められると勘違いしてしまいましたので、書き方を変えていただけると嬉しいです。 
水から上がった後海風に吹かれて寒いので、長袖の羽織るものか大き目のバスタオルは有った方が良いです。あと、日本語話すスタッフはいません。海に入る前に注意事項を説明されるのでヒヤリング力は有った方が良いです。(身振り手振りの説明なので単語が聞き取れればなんとかなるかも)
