All Reviews for Snorkeling Cruises & Tours

On this day, the water level was deep, and when I got off the boat, the water was up to my chest. I was a bit disappointed because I had imagined a white sandy beach. However, I switched gears and decided to try banana boating for the first time in my 60s! I screamed with excitement after a long time, and it was so much fun. They also took me to a spot where there were turtles. Next time, I want to go when the sandy beach is visible.

この日の水位は深く、船から降りると胸まで水がありました。
白い砂浜を想像していたので、ちょっとガッカリでした。
気持ちを切り替えて、60代で初のバナナボートに挑戦！
久しぶりにキャーキャー叫んで、とても楽しかったです。
亀のいるポイントにも連れて行ってくれました。
次は砂浜の出る時に行きたいです。

I read the reviews and thought, "I want to see dolphins, but I'm worried about seasickness." However, I gathered my courage and signed up.

In conclusion, as long as I took motion sickness medication, I was fine. I went with my family, and other families were fine too. It seems that standing at the front of the boat and looking out into the distance helps prevent seasickness.

There were also Japanese staff members, which made me feel very secure participating in the activity.

Although it was written that we wouldn't be able to swim with the dolphins, on the day of the event, we were able to swim with them. I was surprised to see the dolphins swimming quite deep. Even while the boat was moving, the dolphins swam alongside us as if they were racing, creating the best memories.

口コミを見て「イルカが見たいけど、船酔いが心配だなぁ」と思っていました。
しかし、勇気を出して申し込みをしました。
結論、乗り物酔い防止の薬を飲んでいれば、大丈夫でした。
家族で行きましたが、他の家族も大丈夫でした。
船の先端に立って、遠くを眺めていると酔いにくいそうです。

日本人スタッフの方もおり、とても安心して参加することができました。

イルカと一緒に泳げないと書いてありましたが、当日は一緒に泳ぐことができました。
かなり深いところをイルカが泳いでいて、びっくり。
船を走らせている時も、イルカが船に競い合うように泳いでいて、最高の思い出になりました。

I almost drowned a little and got a cut, but the response from our guide, Izumi, was great. Thank you very much.

ちょっと溺れかけたのと、切り傷をしてしまい、ガイドさんのいづみさんの対応が、よかったです、
ありがとうございました。

I have gone on several excursions in my travel experiences. This excursion was extremely organized, the people were remarkably friendly and the amount of activities to keep you engaged were fantastic.

The weather was rainy and cloudy, but the day was filled with adventure and family time. It made for a perfectly beautiful day. Captain Bobs was safe and comical and the lunch was great!

I used the first flight on the morning of December 30th for the New Year's holiday. The captain spoke in English, but then a female staff member named Izumi kindly explained everything in Japanese, which made my first snorkeling experience worry-free.

The weather was a bit cold, and it rained partway through, but not only were we able to see many sea turtles, we also got to swim with them.

There were other tours with various options that I considered, but I'm glad I chose Captain Cruise!

年末年始（12月30日）の朝一便を利用しました。
キャプテンは英語を使用されますがその後で女性スタッフのイズミさんが日本語で丁寧に説明してくださり、初めてのシュノーケリングも不安なく体験できました。

天候は少し寒く、雨も途中降ったりしましたが、ウミガメを沢山見ることができただけでなく、一緒に泳ぐことも出来ました。

色んなオプションが付く他社ツアーもあり、悩みましたが、キャプテンクルーズを選んでよかったです！

The crew was great, the snorkeling sites were amazing, thank you for a great time.

Wonderful experience swimming with the turtles. But I was struggling with light headedness and nausea. The lifeguard and crew were so caring and sensitive. They encouraged me to stay out in the water as long as I felt confident but then took me back to the boat via the surf board when it was too much. I was given a ginger ale to sip on and the team frequently checked on me. Always encouraging and supportive. I never felt shamed or ridiculed. Thank you

We went with six participants and two staff members on a small boat. The staff provided great care, and the round trip to the snorkeling point was an enjoyable experience. At the manta ray spot, they moved us to a good viewing location, which increased our chances of sightings.

６人の参加者に２人のスタッフで小型船で行きました。スタッフのケアもよく、シュノーケリングのポイントまでの行き帰りも楽しい時間となりました。マンタスポットでは、見やすい場所まで移動してくれるので、発見の回数が増えます。

We had a wonderful family trip! The experience was smooth and enjoyable, and the crews were exceptionally friendly and helpful throughout. Highly recommend for families looking for a relaxing and fun getaway!

The hosts were knowledgeable, accommodating, and so kind. We loved the stress free experience.

I participated in early December, and unfortunately, the weather was quite chilly and rainy, but I still had a great time. There were beautiful coral reefs nearby, and fish were swimming right in front of me. Just peeking into the water was captivating, and while enjoying other activities, time flew by quickly. During the round trip to the sandbar, there was also a performance by the crew, and the captain and crew's stories were entertaining as well.

参加日は12月初旬あいにく肌寒く、雨も降るイマイチな天候でしたがそれでも存分に楽しめました。
綺麗なサンゴ礁が近くにあり、目の前を魚が回遊しています。海中を覗くだけで夢中になれますし、他のアクティビティも堪能していると、あっという間に時間がなくなります。
サンドバーまでの往復中も、クルーの演奏もあり、また船長やクルーたちのお話も面白かったです。

In the past, Hanauma Bay was crowded and seemed to be getting dirtier year by year. However, with the implementation of entry restrictions and the fact that very few people visited during COVID, I felt that the beautiful Hanauma Bay has returned. After the Honolulu Marathon, the weather was unpredictable with a lot of rain, so when I made my reservation, I kept an eye on the weather forecast and chose a day with a low chance of precipitation. Unfortunately, when I arrived, I encountered a heavy downpour like a tropical rain shower.

After that, the weather was cloudy with occasional rain, and very rarely did the sun peek through, but I was still able to go snorkeling, which turned out to be a memorable experience. I hope to make a comeback on a sunny day next year.

昔は人も多く海も年々汚れてきた印象のハナウマベイでしたが、入場制限を行い、またコロナで人が全然入らなかった事も幸いして、綺麗なハナウマベイが帰ってきたと感じました。ホノルルマラソンが終わった後はお天気が不順で雨も多かったので、予約を取る時に天気予報とにらめっこして、降水確率の低い日を選んだのですが、残念ながら到着した時にスコールの様な豪雨にあいました。
その後は曇り時々雨、ごく稀に薄陽がさすお天気でしたか、シュノーケリングも出来てなかなか無い思い出になりました。
来年、晴れの日にリベンジしたいと思います。

Excellent snorkel with plenty of tropical fish and sea turtles sightings throughout, and the taco bar lunch was quite tasty.

Snorkeling among tropical fish and exploring sea caves was a highlight of our whole trip!

After the snorkel, the crew offered hot cocoa and snacks, which was a nice way to warm up and reflect on the experience during the ride back under the stars

Snorkeling and exploring sea caves were the highlights of this amazing experience!

The sandbar itself was stunning, and the live Hawaiian music added a perfect island vibe. Equipment was clean and easy to use, and the crew provided helpful tips to make the most of each activity.

The crew was friendly and attentive making everyone feel safe and comfortable on board.

The scenery was absolutely stunning with cliffs, sea caves, and vibrant colors as the sun set over the Pacific.

Great snorkeling spot! Not many turtles but that can't be controlled! Some other groups saw a lot!

This is the second time we took this activity in Honolulu. My kids love the banana boat and the bumper tube so much . Will come again next time.

It was the first snorkeling experience for our two children, but with the reassuring Japanese guide and the lessons provided, the whole family was able to enjoy it, making it a memorable option for us. Thank you very much for your help.

子供2人が初シュノーケリングでしたが、安心の日本語ガイドと講習もあり、家族全員で楽しめ記憶に残るオブションになりました。大変お世話になりました。

Fortunately, we were blessed with good weather, had a great guide on a new boat with a small group, and even encountered dolphins!
Elementary school children can participate with peace of mind!

Thank you, Captain Jason, Crew Lucas & Ryuichi, for a wonderful trip.

運が良いことに、天候にも恵まれ、新しい船で、少人数でばっちりガイドしてもらって、イルカとも出会えました☆
小学生の子供も安心して参加できます！

Thank you Captain Jason, Crew Lucas & Ryuichi for wonderful trip.

Once again this year, I had the pleasure of being taken care of by Chieko-san, and it was a delightful and moving experience. My husband and I are 66 years old, so we were a bit concerned about our physical stamina, but we were amazed by the fish and turtles, and the hour flew by in no time. We were able to see a pair of turtles, and we also saw a turtle coming up to the surface for air. This year, we created the best memories once again.

昨年に引き続き今年もチエコさんにお世話になり楽しく感激しましたよ。主人と私は66歳なので体力的にどうかなと思っていましたが魚や亀に感激してあっという間の1時間でした。ペアの亀を観られたし呼吸のため水面から顔を出す亀もみられたし、今年も最高の思い出ができました。

I was very satisfied with the beautiful sandy beach and activities. I was hoping to see sea turtles, but it was a bit disappointing that I didn't get to see any. The staff were all cheerful and fun people.

きれいな砂浜とアクティビティで大満足です。
ウミガメを期待してましたが、会えなかったのが少し残念です。
スタッフは皆さん明るく楽しい方々でした。

I recommend this for those who want to go to Hanauma Bay quickly and simply, without the need for rentals or guides. You can watch an orientation video on the shuttle bus, allowing for immediate entry upon arrival. Since it's a plan that includes the entrance fee, there's no need to pay extra on-site, which lets you enjoy Hanauma Bay to the fullest without any hassle. It was fantastic. I also appreciated that they provided support in Japanese.

レンタルやガイドは不要で、とにかくシンプルに早くハナウマ湾に行きたい人におすすめです。
送迎のバス内でオリエンテーションビデオを見ることができるため、到着直後に入場が可能です。また、入場料込みのプランのため、当日現地で入場のためにお金を出す必要もなく、無駄なく最大限にハナウマ湾を楽しむことが出来ました。最高です。
日本語でも対応していただけたのもありがたかったです。

The team was extremely helpful in explaining the events. I brought my wife and in-laws from Japan with us. We felt the Aloha immediately! We were worried about the cloudy morning but just as we set sail the sun came out in during our ride. We got to spend a good amount of time in the sun and enjoyed the music from the performers on board. Tip your performers, people! They can sing all the island tunes 10/10. We will certainly book again for our next trip and bring our kids. Mahalo and many thanks from Seattle, Wa.

Although the weather was unfortunate with rain, I was able to see turtles and manta rays (just their fins, though...) and was once again amazed by the size of the manta rays. The rain made the sea murky, so the coral wasn't visible in its beauty, and I couldn't enjoy the beach due to the tides and changing weather. However, the cheerful Japanese female staff and other staff brightened my mood. All the participants were also cheerful, which made me feel like I was in a tropical paradise. There were many English speakers, and I was disappointed that I couldn't enjoy conversations due to my lack of English skills; it made me think I should study English. On the way back, the captain came to greet us, making it a tour that didn't let the rain get us down.

天候に恵まれず生憎の雨天でしたが、亀やマンタのひれ（ひれのみでしたが・・・）を見ることができマンタの大きさに改めてびっくりしました。
雨で海も濁ってしまい、サンゴはきれいには見えず、ビーチも潮のかげんや天候の変動でか見ることはできませんでしたが、日本人の女性スタッフや他のスタッフも明るく、気持ちが明るくなりました。
参加者も皆さん明るく、南国だな～と思いました。
英語圏の方が多く、会話を楽しみたかったのに英語が出来ず残念、英語を勉強しようかな・・・と感じました。帰りには船長さんがあいさつに来てくれて、雨にも負けずというツアーでした。

I love dolphins, so I have wanted to participate for a long time, and this time I was finally able to join. The staff (especially Joanna and Ryuichi) were very kind and taught me a lot. I was almost a beginner at snorkeling, but it was fun.

Next time, I want to try dolphin swimming too!

イルカが好きなのでずっと参加してみたく、今回初めて参加できました。
スタッフの皆さん（特にJoanna, Ryuichiさん）も親切にいろいろ教えてくださり、シュノーケリングはほぼ初心者でしたが楽しかったです。

次回はドルフィンスイムもやってみたいです！
