Ko Olina Ocean Adventures Snorkel with Wild Dolphins Rafting Tour [Open Soon]

overall great experience

Reviewed by: Joanne, 2013/08/24

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

North Shore Shark Adventures - Oahu Cage Diving Tour with Waikiki Transportation

Load up on Dramamine and take the morning trip

Reviewed by: KellyB, 2013/08/11

This would have been an awesome trip if it hadn't been ruined by motion sickness. And I wasn't the only one affected, there were 6 other people hanging their heads over the side of the boat with me. This excursion is definately a do-over only next time I'll take the morning trip and start loading up on dramamine the night before. I want to mention, though, that the captain and crew were very nice and knowledgeable of sharks and shark conservation and I will go with this company again.

North Shore Shark Adventures - Oahu Cage Diving Tour with Waikiki Transportation

Better last time

Reviewed by: Karmine, 2013/08/06

I went on this 3 yrs ago and it was much more fun. They no longer feed the sharks and they stuffed the tank with too many people. Last time it was 4 ppl inside cage this time they put 8 ppl in it!!

Comments from activity operators

Aloha Karmine, We apologize that we didn't exceed your expectations this time, We will strive to do better on the next. We upgraded our cage less than a year ago and it is now about 65% bigger than it was back 3 years ago. Being the shark tour with the biggest cage, we currently average 5 - 8 people maximum at any given time. We have upgraded our boats within the past 2 years since 3 of our boats were burned back in 2011. We hope to better service you on your next trip out here. Thank you once again for choosing North Shore Shark Adventures

Dolphin & Turtle Snorkle Excursion

Reviewed by: Denise, 2013/07/27

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!

Ko Olina Snorkeling Cruise & Dolphin Watching Tour with Picnic Lunch and Drinks

Ko Olina Snuba Sail

Reviewed by: Reena, 2013/07/25

Our group of 17 took the afternoon sail. The crew wants to have as much fun as their guests so they do their best to create a memorable experience. One meal, snacks, non-alcoholic drinks and complete snorkel gear is included in the cost.

There are two locations where swimming among sea turtles is likely. For $5 you can get a quart size of fish food and it is suggested to feed the fish at the last location. Divers don't mind diving to the bottom and up close to the marine life with your waterproof camera to get some amazing shots - just ask them. A photographer comes along to capture all the beautiful moments both on board and underwater. A dvd of 500+ photos of your trip for $65 is worth it.

Served during the last snorkling location, our family style lunch of kalua pork and teriyaki chicken sliders with all the trimmings was plentiful and satisfying. Alocholic drinks are $4.

Great first-time deep sea snorkling experience. Would definitely go again with these guys! Mahalo!

Comments from activity operators

Thanks for joining our newer product- the Catamaran Snorkel and Sail- we love the stylish snorkeling experience we can offer on this tour and that the boat can accommodate both food and a bar. We also offer a mini dive called SNUBA on this trip. On your next trip out, we'd love to show your group. Thanks again for joining us. We look forward to your return visit!

Reviewed by: amanda, 2013/07/16

This was a great experience! There were sharks all over the place, defiantly wasn't disappointed. The only bad part about it was all the people that got sick, & especially the one that got sick while in the cage. Everything else was awesome. I would recommend it to anyone going to Hawaii.

Great experience!!!!

Reviewed by: Chris S and family, 2013/07/08

My teenage daughter really wanted this experience, my wife not so keen. It was well worth it, about 20 large sharks swimming around you whilst you are safe in the cage. Even my wife thought so. It was a good experience, the crew were good and organised.
The slow rolling sea can affect some :-)

Ko Olina Snorkeling Cruise & Dolphin Watching Tour with Picnic Lunch and Drinks

Good experience, but not amazing snorkeling

Reviewed by: User038575, 2013/06/18

I gave an ok/average rating because this was an expensive excursion and the snorkeling was not up to par. The staff was incredible---- friendly, fun and courteous, but this seemed to be a boat ride geared toward hanging out and drinking on the boat rather than seeing awesome fish, coral reefs, etc. We had 2 snorkel stops and fish/turtles were average. But the crew made sure we saw dolphins from the boat, which was cool.

As far as snorkeling, it was nothing too interesting especially because my husband and I have done amazing snorkeling in Maui and Bora Bora. If you want to drink and relax for an afternoon, this is a top choice. But, a little too expensive for what you get if you are really into snorkeling and seeing different kinds of underwater life.

Comments from activity operators

Thanks for your feedback. We definitely understand that our reef is hard coral- so not the soft fanning coral you get in warm waters, but we strive to do a great job showcasing what we do have to offer on Oahu. One of the sites is Oahu's second largest living reef, though due to weather/water conditions we can't always go there. Perhaps next time you can join us on our other tour- the Dolphin Snorkel Tour- which offers THREE snorkel sites (not two that the Sail offers) including a chance to snorkel view dolphins in the wild. It sounds like you are seeking more adventure and that is what that tour offers. Adventure! We hope to see you again. Thank you!

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.

Amazing!

Reviewed by: Rachel B, 2013/05/11

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!

Comments from activity operators

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!

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。

目の前のイルカ

Reviewed by: KOMO, 2013/02/08

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(^^)
