This was a highlight of our trip to Oahu. The staff were great and they feed you well. We saw so many dolphins, sea turtles and fish. We also bought the cd of pictures from a photographer on the boat. Great trip. No complaints!

Great tour and only gave four stars instead of 5 because we didnt see any dolphins under the water when we got in, we only saw them from afar. Austin, our guide explained it was most likely due to the time of year when the young are born and the dolphins were being overprotective. The staff were fantastic and very helpful throughout the whole tour. Even though we didnt see the dolphins in the water, we were not disappointed as the experience of seeing them in their environment jumping out of the water was awesome in itself. The staff were very apologetic at the dolphins non compliance. It wasnt their fault though, you cant make the dolphins do things they dont want to do!I would highly recommend going

今回は74歳の母も一緒にイルカツアーに参加しました。シュノーケリングポイントではウミガメをとても近くで見ることができました。さかなもいっぱいいました。スタッフも日本人の方が2名乗船しており、丁寧な説明と親切な対応をしていただき、とても楽しい時間を過ごすことが出来ました。ランチもおいしかったです。帰港途中でイルカにも遭遇!イルカがボートを追いかけてきて、遊びながら泳いでいる様で、とてもかわいかったです。機会があれば、是非、また参加したいツアーです。

The boat was very clean and the 2 crewman were very friendly and polite. Although we didn't catch the big fish (was able to reel it in but unable to gaff it), my friends and I found the experience enjoyable. Fish were biting a lot in the AM, but started to stop toward the last half of the trip. I would go back again and with Boom Boom Sportsfishing on my next visit to Hawaii. As with all private charters, try to book it ahead of time.

This was our families first trip to Hawaii, so we wanted to include as many exciting activities as we could while we were there. The dolphin and turtle snorkel trip was one our family will always cherish. Seeing the wild dolphins in their habitat(not in an animal park), was amazing. We hope to do it again sometime in the next few years and would highly recommend it to any outdoor enthusiast that want a memorable day. Our boat guides were very knowledgeable and friendly and made sure we had all the comforts we needed while out at sea. Enjoyed our trip very much!

My 10 and 11 year old daughters and I went on this excursion. It was a dream come true. Our captain took us up to a cove area where there were a good 30-50 spinner dolphins were hanging out! We had a blast. We then moved over to the sea turtles and we just loved that as well.

This was without a doubt the highlight of our holiday, loved it. The girls that took us out were great, they took us to our first location where we got the chance to swim with about 5-6 dolphins, then we moved on to the sea turtles, just great. On our return trip the girls took us back to our first location where there was now a pod of about 70 dolphins that we got to swim with. Just amazing. Thanks girls.

船上ではBBQと聞き、期待していましたが簡単なハンバーガーだったのが少し残念でした。とても美味しかったですが!
イルカと海亀は全員がみれるようにポイント地点では2回海に入ることができました。
体力的にフラダンスがキツかったですが一日中満喫できました。

Best thing we did all week while on Oahu!!! Our crew put us directly in the path of the spinner dolphins twice. They calmly swam beneath us and carried onward. Crew showed high respect to the wildlife at all times.
Awesome! Your enthusiastic satisfaction is what we strive for! It takes not only a great crew to accomplish these magic moments but also great customers that can share the respect and love of the ocean to make the magic happen. Thanks for joining us! Mahalo Nui loa.

Went with 2 of my girlfriends and it was a blast! We saw 3-4 dozen dolphins all swimming together, a momma and baby and individual dolphins would swim right next to us. We did this all without disrupting them as they dropped us in the path of the dolphins and told us not to swim but to just float above them. All of the other tour boats around us had their passengers in their fins splashing and causing commotion which scares them away. Also saw sea turtles and tons of fish. Would recommend especially for a beginner snorkeler as their equipment worked well and a crew member even got in the water with us and showed us all kinds of neat things. Worth the money for sure and lunch was tasty too!
Wonderful! Thank you for joining us, and your review. Also a huge thanks for remaining "passive" for the dolphins so they could enjoy their time with you all as well. The dolphins are incredible creatures that we want to share with others and it requires the respect that you have shown. From the dolphins, turtles fish and crew at Ko Oljna Ocean Adventures, thank you, we hope to see you again!

This was awesome!!! We not only saw dolphins but we saw humpback whales at the end of their migration. They also took us to a reef where we snorkeled with a sea turtle and saw tons of tropical fish. The girls on the boat crew were awesome. Highly educated about the ocean environment and the sea creatures. This was definitely one of the highlights of our Hawaii vacation. Don't miss this activity. Especially if you can do it during the whale migration season. Also, Domingo, our shuttle driver that picked us up from the hotel was a great tour guide as well.

They pick you up at your hotel and drive you to the west side. They gear you up, they advise you not to touch or chase. You get on the water and if you're lucky, like us, you spot a pair of hump back whales. Then when they locate the dolphin herd, you get to swim among them for about an hour. Then you get to spend almost as much time over a reef, where you can swim with sea turtles and other fish. It was just terrific.
Then you get a decent sandwich and a drink, because you will be hungry after a full morning. Then they drive you back to Waikiki.
Excellent photo disk available to chronicle your trip, at a good price, if you wish. 400 photos of your trip + bonus file with great pics of dolphins, whales, and the area.
Only negative was no changing facility, public restrooms only. Also no bathroom on the boat so be prepared.
Definitely worth the price for this experience.

絶対にイルカと一緒に泳ぎたくて、ツアーに申し込みました。
船での移動はそれほど苦にはならず、船上でのクルーのパフォーマンスも楽しめました。
ただ、前日の雨の影響で海の透明度が悪く、青く輝く海でのイルカ!!とはいかなかったです。
イルカを探しながら、何回も準備して飛び込んでを繰り返しました。結果、2回イルカを見る事ができましたが、一緒に泳ぐ事はできませんでした。
シュノーケルのポイントもあまり魚を見る事ができず、残念でした。
でも、海の中は寒くなく、気持ちよくぷかぷかできました。
船上のハンバーガーは特製ダブルバーガーが当たり、ラッキーでした!
イルカを見れた感動は確かにありました。
次回は一緒に泳げればと思います。
フラはまあまあ、おもしろかったです。
P.S
船は波を受け揺れるものです。船酔いを甘く見ないほうがいいです。私はなれているので大丈夫でしたが、船酔いした方が何人もいらっしゃいました。参加する方は酔い止めを服用してから乗船しましょう(^^)

イルカを見に行く途中クジラを見ることが出来ました。
こんなに近くで見れるのはあんまりないということでラッキーでした。
その後イルカのいる海に飛び込みました。
集団で泳いでいるイルカを見ることは出来ましたが、イルカが深すぎて、一緒に泳いでるという感じではなかったのが残念でした。
シュノーケルのスポットでは、カメを見ることができました。
泳ぐのが早くすぐ下に行ってしまったので、見れたのはカメラマンさんの近くにいた数名でした。
船に戻るとハンバーガーやドリンクスナックを配っていただきましたが、船酔いで食べれなかったら袋に入れてお持ち帰りにしてくれました。
イルカは残念だったけど、クジラとカメが近くで見れたのでよかったです。

冬は波が高く、酔い止めを飲んでいても船酔いしました。
イルカに出会うまでにダウンしてしまい、結局何もできなかったです。そして船の上はとても寒かったです。
船には3時間ほど乗っていますので、船酔いしやすいかたは大変かもしれません。
イルカは少し見れましたが、私が参加した日は一緒に泳ぐのがなかなか難しかったようです。
スタッフの方たちはとても良い方たちばかりで、楽しそうでした。
夏は波が比較的おだやからしいので、夏の参加がおすすめです。

冬は特に波が荒く、船酔いします。
海水も濁ってますのでシュノーケルもつれてってくれますが、そこまで感動はないでしょう。
相当船の上は寒いので水から上がってからの寒さは大変ですので、体調に不安がある方は気をつけた方が宜しいかと。
また、船上BBQはハンバーガーだけですので、期待はなさらない方がいいかと思います。

いるかにも亀にもきれいなお魚たちにもあえましたが、ずっと曇り空だったせいか寒くて寒くて…。全員ウエットスーツを借りていましたが、特に海からあがると、私を含めがたがたと震えている人が何人もいました。毛布を貸してくれますが、濡れるし体全体を包めるわけではないので、私はウィンドブレーカーを着てタオルと毛布をまきつけて、おむすび状態になっていました。天候によるでしょうが、寒がりの人はもう少し暖かい季節を選んだほうが楽しめるかと思います。ただ、現地のスタッフさんは終始ハイテンションで、歌や踊りで盛り上げてくれて、また、小さいお子さんが3人も参加していましたが、怖がらないように色々気を配っていて、プロ意識を感じました。陸にあがってから、少し離れた空き地でフラレッスンがありましたが、私的にはいらなかったかな。
無料のフラレッスンは結構いろんな場所で体験できるので、フラレッスンの時間をこんなにとるのなら、最後の自由時間(シュノーケル、カヤック、パドルサーフィン)をもっと長く取ってくれた方が楽しめたのではないかと思いました。カヤックもパドルサーフィンも1台ずつしかないので、短い時間内だと一人につき5分くらいしか乗れなかったようです。
最後にもう1つだけ。ずっと曇り空だったので、日焼け止めをつけなおししなかったらしっかり日焼けしてしまいました。天気に関係なく、何度も付け直しした方がよいですよ。

This is a well run company staffed by people who know how to please! Captain Jenna and First Mate Katie were both superb! There was little wasted time looking for dolphins and turtles as Jenna knew right where to go to find them. She also ensured we had the maximum time in each area. We came away very satisfied.
Yes, we would even entertain another visit and hopefully bring friends.
Also, Jim Ward was a very personable photographer who was very prompt in send out his photos for download.
