A family from Japan with 5th and 1st grade children participated in Turtle University. Pick up and drop off near your hotel in Waikiki. The staff were all bilingual in English and various languages and knew not only about the ocean, but also turtles, ecosystems and sustainability, so it was an experience that allowed us to think about sustainability, not just watching turtles snorkeling. An Authority staff member named Maki, a Japanese turtle expert with a bursting brightness, joined the Japanese family. We had the kids caught on the boards and watched a lot of green turtles at close range with Maki's help. The children became cold in the sea. I don't think you should wear a rush guard to protect against the cold. It is recommended to bring a bath towel, a dry T-shirt and trainers on board. In addition, if there are waves on the boat or in the sea, it is easy to get drunk, so measures such as anti-sickness are recommended. After swimming, you can have warm cocoa or tea. You can also request an additional photography service by a photographer. On the way back, we took in the view of Diamond Head and Hawaii. Thank you for the wonderful experience.

I've met a lot of sea turtles, the crew support is great. I attended with my nephews aged 7 and 9 and it was a very wonderful experience to remember. In the morning, I was about five minutes late to pick up at the hotel. The departure time of the ship seemed to be predetermined, so we waited a little at the port. Once we set sail, we will learn to be safe by helping with a few hand signs in Japanese from our crew member Sam. He also sings a prayer for the safe return of the ship and offers Plumeria to the sea. On the way, I got a call that a group of people who were going to be on the same tour had arrived at the port late and returned after the route. From the top of the ship I saw a large sea turtle breathing. They say it weighs about 150 kilograms. Snorkeling takes about an hour. I really enjoyed the time. Yuji, Max's support was very courteous and the children snorkeled with peace of mind. When you come back to the ship, you can always come back. He told me, but I enjoyed it until the end. On the way back, my nephews sat at the head of the ship. I was very excited to see dolphins for a moment. Captain Ryan stopped by to see Diamond Head in his best position and we were able to take a photo. Even after I got home, my nephews Yujionii and Sam excitedly told their parents about their encounter with sea turtles. When shopping, it was unexpected that they bought stuffed turtles and water bottles, It was a great memory in Hawaii. Thank you very much.

Hawaii in February is windy and cold. But we were able to swim. It's okay in the sea. There were turtles, too. They seemed to be there all the time, as if they lived there. There were 4-5 of them. There were also a lot of fish swimming around. There were a lot of people swimming around too. (lol) But you could see the turtles. It was fun. The boat ride back was quite cold, so I recommend bringing clothes to wear. We are in our 60s, but this tour was totally OK. Even if you can't swim, as long as you have life jackets and courage, it's no problem❣❣ Just give it a try. YUZABURO &YUKA
