Top Oahu Snorkeling

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.

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.

This was an amazing experience and was a bucket list item ticked off for my family. crew were engaging and informative. Only disappointment was after being told of multiple “ drops” to swim with dolphins, we only had one. Some people were advised to watch the first drop if they weren’t confident in the water to see how it worked for subsequent drips, but they never happened. overall a great experience, but more swim time would have made it 5⭐️
