Honolulu

The originally scheduled tour was postponed and I only received an email notification that morning, which was a bit sudden. Luckily, I had chosen the afternoon session. The next day, we gathered at Pier F-28, and the staff arrived late as well. For those who haven't snorkeled before or aren't strong swimmers, it takes a bit of time to adjust to being in the water. We saw quite a few sea turtles, and the scenery was beautiful.

On time, smooth, guides were very knowledgeable. We saw a pod of dolphins from the boat, 2 whales from a far, and swam with a sea turtle. Facilities, drinks and food were good and plenty. Everything was very comfortable.

We saw both dolphins and turtles. We got transportation to and from Aulani Disney. We were worried because the bus was 20 minutes late arriving for the pickup. They also lent us prescription goggles. Our Japanese-speaking guide, YUJI, was very helpful and explained everything thoroughly. He stayed with us the whole time, from when we got off the bus until after the dive when we had our meal (a delicious sandwich). The photographer, Parker, the female guide, Joana?, and the captain were full of energy and really livened things up. Sorry we didn't have much cash for a tip. As you can see in the photos, the ocean is truly beautiful. We'll definitely be back.

Having a Japanese crew member (RYUICHI-san) made the experience safe, fun, and worry-free. The other crew members were also kind and attentive, which was really great. From a Japanese perspective, the water is cold, the waves are surprisingly high and can sweep you away... motion sickness medicine is a must. Don't forget a bath towel. My 6th-grade son wasn't used to the snorkeling mask, so he took off the fins and swam with swimming goggles. It's a bit pricey, but wearing a wetsuit would make the experience more comfortable.

nice view for the island costal line, can spot sea turtles, dolphins. The wave is rough, try not to eat too many before the trip.

We participated with a total of 4 people, including my 70-year-old parents and a friend. My parents especially were overjoyed. They seemed to have had a lot of fun and said it was a great memory. If you don't get much exercise, be prepared for sore muscles after the activity. If you realize you weren't very good at riding, your lower back may hurt. However, it was a really good experience. I recommend it. ↓↓ The following is a detailed report. The parking lot is large and free, so we took the highway from around Waikiki in a hui and enjoyed the drive along the way! As I researched, the parking lot was spacious, and even though it was a Saturday afternoon, we were able to park the car with ease. When we told the receptionist that we had a reservation, they confirmed the reservation by last name, checked the passport of the reservation representative only, and handed us the precautions written in Japanese. It was a very smooth process. I made sure to arrive with plenty of time to spare, but the directions were easy to understand and it was much smoother than I imagined, so we had plenty of time. We bought a hot dog ($5) and a canned coffee ($2) at the local shop and had a snack to kill time. I was worried about the weather, but it was sunny, so the sun was strong. Some people were wearing short sleeves, but I wore long sleeves to protect myself from the sun. You can wear a helmet over your hat or cap. Shoulder straps for cell phones are not allowed, but you can borrow a bag to put your luggage in and put it on the horse. You can put water and your cell phone in the bag. You will watch a movie of precautions, which is available in Japanese. However, once the activity starts, it is all in English. The explanations are not difficult, so even if you don't speak English, it should be fine. You can take photos with your cell phone while riding. The instructor also takes photos and shares them with you via AirDrop after the activity. As is common in tourist spots, the photos taken by the photographer are sold for $20 each, and you will be posed for photos while riding. Before doing the activity, I thought I didn't need it, but after the activity, I thought, 'I might as well buy it as a souvenir.' It was such a good experience. (It was great this time because it was sunny, but the impression would be quite different if it rained.)

Very nice group of people. The tour was nice and we saw dolphins. Goes without saying that the fish don't always show up but they sprinkled information about the city skyline and showed us Coral reefs as well.

Did not see the Whale, unfortunately we did not get other offer
