最高に楽しいアクティビティが体験できました。
集合は、8:30までかと思ったら、8:30になったらパラパラと人が集まってきた感じでした。
ここの体験談で、日本人がほぼ皆無だが、英語ができなくてもなんとかなるというのを見ていたのですが、私以外にも何組か日本人のグループがおり、英語を話していたグループの方もいたので、その人達に声をかけ通訳の代わりをしてもらいました。
時間になったら受付の女性の方が「Follow me!」と言って乗船するホロカイ・カタマラン号まで案内してくれました。
ヨットの中では裸足でないと駄目だそうです。
そして乗船は桟橋ではなく砂浜からなので、濡れては行けないズボンを履いていくと乗るときにほぼ確実に濡れます。
この時点で脱いで水着になっておくことをお薦めします。
ウミガメは2匹の親子が見れました。
何度か水面に上がってきたそうですが、自分は見そびれました。
ウミガメが見えたらダイバーの方が「Come on!!」って教えてくれますので、ほぼ確実にウミガメに出会えるでしょう。
そして、他のツアーのグループも同じポイントにいました。
フィン(足ヒレ)は有料と書いてありましたが、全員無料で貸してくれました。変わったのかな?
シュノーケリングのあとは、帆にいっぱい風を受けてセーリング。
船外機は引き上げられているので、完全に無動力です。
ダイヤモンドヘッドの近くまでセーリングしてくれました。
セーリング中は、スナック菓子はFree。ドリンクは有料。
シュノーケリング中に波に乗って若干船酔い気味で、セーリング中も揺れているのでこのままでは船酔いすると思い、波風に当たりながら、通訳をしてくれたグループの方々と喋っていたら、船酔いは全くしなかったです。
その点、現地人であろう方々は、ビールや酒をガブガブ飲んでいました。
酔わないんだろうか・・・。
特にシュノーケリングの後のセーリングは、シュノーケリングの疲れを癒やしてくれて気持ちよかったです。
船酔いが心配なければ、ビールも飲めて最高だったと思います。
シュノーケリングとセーリング、どちらも十分に楽しめました。

Das Boot hatte eine schöne Größe. Zuerst sind wir zum Schnorcheln raus gefahren und anschließend weiter. Hier konnten wir uns vorne ins Netz legen und die Wellen und die Sonne genießen. Sehr schön!

A special thanks goes out to Captain Amy and her crew.
A big shout out to Coreen (I hope I spelled correct), my 7 year old daughter freaked out when she hit the water so the wife and my 5 year old son went on, after my son was done holding onto me I took him back to the boat it was at that time that another of the crew members had a baby octopus and my son freaked so back on the boat he goes, but the good part was Corren had my 7 year old daughter with aspergers in the water and ready to swim over to us, when she saw the turtles and fish she freaked so back to the boat she goes, but it was truly amazing and we will do it again. Then a great sail to cap off the amazing snorkeling adventure

This is my youngest son's first trip to Hawaii. He asked to go snorkling. So I thought it would be even more fun to snorkle with turtles. And so we did. We had such an amazing experience, staffs were very nice and helpful. It was fun to see many turtles and fishes. We had so much fun. And at the end of our Hawaii trip, I asked my son, which one was the most memorable one of all the places we went to in Hawaii, and he said snorkling with turtles!!!

This was an enjoyable trip just off the Waikiki coast, snorkeling was fruitful with my three teenage children as we saw many sea turtles and fish, while my wife enjoyed staying on the boat taking pictures of us in the water and of the surrounding views. Then we took a fun sail ride that gives you a great view of the Waikiki skyline and a full view of Diamond Head. The crew was great and were determined to ensure we had a great time. They were successful!

From the hostess at the Blue Tent to the boat crew - everyone made the experience enjoyable. Plenty of fish and turtles. Quality snorkeling gear. And finished with a nice relaxing sail around Diamond Head. A definite do again on our next trip. Since we stayed at the Hall Koa, access was a quick walk down the beach. No hassles of finding parking on the busy Waikiki strip.

Memorable experience! The crew provided a fun relaxed environment. They were attentive to our needs but allowed you freedom to explore the boat. Excellent snorkeling near the reef. My family had the opportunity to view a variety of sea creatures. Free snacks while sailing was an added bonus. Great overall experience at an economical price.

From check in to check out, this cruise was absolutely outstanding. The crew took great care of every detail without making you feel micromanaged! You want to swim with turtles?! Sign up! You spend 1.5 hours snorkeling with these amazing creatures. Back on the katamaran, lunch was delicious and plenty of cocktails and soft drinks. Then sails up and sail and it was breathtaking! I really can’t say enough good about this cruise. I would do it everyday if I could! Thank you Capt Josh and your awesome crew for making this the experience of a lifetime! They go above and beyond to ensure it is the BEST experience!

Captain Ryan and his crew definitely do a great job!! You can tell they all love their job and give their customers 150% every time!! We got to swim with turtles and lots of fish and every time we saw Dolphins they would go chasing them to make sure we got a close look every time. The girls at the front desk were also very helpful and when we wanted to buy souvenirs they went out of their way to go upstairs and show us everything they had. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!

カメと一緒に泳げ、イルカと一緒にセーリング出来て最高でした!
値段の割にかなりお得感があります。
午前中の時間帯に参加したのですが、日本人がほとんどいなくてディープなアメリカンなツアーでした

Great staff who made the trip lots of fun. Saw tons of turtles, though not a great variety of other fish - but I was there to see turtles, and so I was happy as can be!
Got a little woozy after being out on the ocean, and they immediately recognized it (without me having to say anything!) and offered me a dab of lavendar oil behind my ears/under my nose that cleared it right up.
Overall a great trip, highly recommend!

The crew were friendly and incredibly accommodating both on the boat and in the water. The guides were great at pointing out the sealife on the reef while we snorkeled. The sea turtles were everywhere! Wonderful trip and well worth the money.

すごくオススメです。ワイキキビーチからすぐの所なので時間が取られることなく大満足できます!
ウミガメさんも5匹くらい普通に見れて結構そばに寄ってくれてびっくりしました☆
こんなシュノーケリングは初めてで感動しました。
セーリングでクジラの潮吹く所も遠目ではありましたが見れました!
しかも11:30には終わるので(でも実際3時間ガッツリ)午後から別の事も出来て最高です♬*゚スナックは食べ放題です( ¨̮ )

We took the Lunch cruise from the Hilton Pier on Waikiki beach to see the sea turtles, it was a great time to go out onto the water. Nice short ride out to the turtle area. The crew was fantastic, very informative and friendly. Gave great instructions on how to see the turtles and one of the crew members was in the water for assistance and to answer questions. After viewing the turtles they put the sail up and we sailed a little further out to sea and that was fun and exciting. Very nice lunch buffet and a few Mai Tais also made it a great time. Clean boat, great crew, nice lunch and got to swim with the Turtles! Will definitely do this cruise again when back on Waikiki.

The clear blue pacific didn't disappoint. An abundance of fish and of course the stunning turtles. Capt. Rich, Michelle and Austin got us to were we needed to be safely and with a lot of fun. Genuinely nice people as well. Made us feel special on our 20th wedding anniversary. Would go on an adventure with them without hesitation. Highly recommend.

The most awesome snorkelling experience at turtle canyon.
Sadly no whales to see(but v late in season) but we had spinner dolphins alongside the boat.
Great catamaran, fantastic captain and crew who helped us capture awesome videos.
Highly recommended! Great value for money. Book it!

Guides were GREAT, we saw MULTIPLE turtles (one even swam right up by us) and we also saw dolphins. We got to do a little bit of sailing at the end while drying off, having a beverage and eating the provided snacks. It was exactly what we wanted to do and I loved that it did not take up the entire day so we still had plenty of time to get get lunch and spend the rest of the day on the beach :)

We had a wonderful time on the trip. The snorkel is the first part of the event. There were numerous fish and handful of large turtles. Then there is a brief sail around the area. On our sail we encountered humpback whales and a massive pod of dolphins.
I realize, to a degree the whole adventure is a crap shoot. Someone that encountered no turtles, whales, or dolphins might rate the trip less highly, but we felt this was well worth our time and highly recommend.

It was a little hard to get to (the hotels are so close together) so remember to get there early! We got there just in time. The boat is beautiful docked on the beach. The crew were so wonderful and friendly. We saw a bunch of turtles! It was amazing when they would surface for air RIGHT NEXT TO US! I wish the water was clearer, but it was still a great experience. Then we got to lounge in the boat and sail over off of Diamond Head. We saw spinner dolphins spinning out of the water. There were about 10 other people on the boat with us, but still cozy. They offer free snacks and you can purchase drinks (water, juice and alcohol) on the boat. We were back in time to join my family for lunch! perfect morning excursion at a great price!
