All Reviews for Snorkeling Cruises & Tours

My wife and I participated together. It was a nice day with some waves, but both of us suffered from severe seasickness. While we were snorkeling in the water, it was fine, but once we got back on the boat, the seasickness returned, and we both struggled until we returned to port. That said, the crew's performance and the tour itself were completely fine. The low rating is simply due to our own physical condition. The meeting place was at the beautiful port in Kona, which was also convenient for sightseeing.

妻と二人で参加しました。天気の良い日で波も多少でしたが、自分と妻の両方とも酷い船酔いに苦しみました。シュノーケリングで海の中にいるときは良いのですが船に上がると船酔いが再発して帰港まで二人して苦しみました。とはいえクルーの皆様の働きぶりやツアーそのものは全く問題ないものです。評価が低いのは単純に自分達の体調の問題からの経験です。集合場所は観光にも便利なコナの港でとても綺麗でした。

The staff were great. They were helpful in pointing things out and when helpful when a tour member was unwell.

It's an activity that can be enjoyed alone or with multiple people! The lively tour guides and the opportunity to swim with dolphins and turtles make it a lot of fun. Plus, there are tour guides who speak Japanese, so you can feel at ease.

1人でも複数人でも楽しめるアクティビティです！
ノリのいい添乗員やイルカや亀と一緒に泳げて、楽しいです(^^)
※日本語話せる添乗員の方もいるので、安心できます。

It's truly beautiful; walking on such a beautiful beach is the best. You'll definitely see sea turtles, almost as if they're being kept nearby!

本当にキレイ、キレイな海を歩けるってのが最高
ウミガメ100%会えます、飼われてるんかぐらいの距離感！

When it comes to Hawaii, I've seen so many dolphin tours on TV that I thought I wouldn't be too surprised, but it was completely different. It was incredibly fun and is definitely something you should experience! The guides, Daisuke, Rei, and Koichiro, not only gently pointed out the direction of the dolphins but also ensured that the person who stayed on the boat kept an eye on everyone in the water, allowing us to safely and comfortably swim close to the dolphins.

You can't say you've been to Hawaii if you don't do this!

ハワイ　と言えば　というくらい散々テレビで観ていたイルカツアーだから
そんなに驚愕しないと思って臨みましたが、　全く違います。
すごくすごーく楽しく　必ず体験すべきです！
ガイドのダイスケさん、レイさん、コウイチロウさんは　イルカのいる方向を優しく教えてくれるだけでなく、船に残った一人が海面の全員への目配りを怠らず、安全に快適にイルカの動きを間近に見て泳げました。

やらずに過ごしては　ハワイとは言えません！

Sandbar...not what we expected - but amazing!
Turtle watch...AMAZING!!!
Crew...SUPER AMAZING!
We would do this tour again and again any time we are in Oahu!

As a first time snorkelling experience this was great . I was apprehensive as no one in our group knew how to swim but dan was so Patient and helpful . When one in our group almost gave up in the water he encouraged and helped to see the amazing sea life hanauma bay offers . I would definitely recommend this to first time snorkellers .

I participated with my 3-year-old and 6-year-old children. They provided a sheet with translations of the instructions in Japanese.

The ride to Kealakekua Bay was somewhat bumpy, and the kids sitting in the front seats on the first floor seemed a bit scared. However, once we arrived and saw a lot of fish in the calm sea, their fear seemed to disappear, and they actually enjoyed the return trip.

My 3-year-old usually dislikes getting water on his face, but when we borrowed a board to look underwater and showed him the fish points, he quietly enjoyed it. At first, he was scared to get on, but afterward, he wanted to ride again and had fun.

Breakfast and lunch were included (they served Costco muffins, which tasted just like the ones in Japan), and considering the prices in Hawaii, I think this is quite a good deal!

We visited various beaches on this trip, but my kids said this one was the most fun. Thank you to all the staff!

3歳と6歳の子供を連れて参加しました。注意事項などは日本語訳のシートを渡してくれます。
ケアラアクア湾に着くまではそれなりに揺れ、1階の前のシートに陣取った子供達は少し怖かった様ですが、現地について穏やかな海で沢山のお魚を見るとその恐怖も吹き飛んだのか帰りは寧ろ楽しんでいました。
3歳の子は水が顔にかかるのも嫌なくらいなのですが、水中が覗けるボードを借り、お魚ポイントを見せてあげると、黙って楽しんでいました。
最初乗るときは怖がってましたが、その後は自ら乗りたい！と楽しんでました。
朝食も昼食もついて(コストコのマフィンとかですが、日本のそれと変わらずの無難な味)ハワイの物価を考えるとこの値段はかなりお得だと思います！
今回の旅で色々なビーチに行きましたが、子供もここが1番楽しかったと言ってました。
スタッフの皆さん、ありがとうございました！

This was my first experience with my child. We were excited to see fish and sea turtles up close. We had to wear something like a helmet, but it became difficult because at first, the pressure underwater was manageable with just a little ear equalization, but suddenly the accompanying instructor pulled the plug, and the pressure caused pain in my eardrum. I wonder why that happened? I desperately tried to endure until the time was up, plugging my ears with my fingers. I wanted to ask for adjustments, but there was no one nearby, and I was scared. The boat was shared with about 15 people. We ate some snacks and regained our energy.

今回は初めて体験を子供としました。
お魚やうみがめは近くで見れて、はしゃぎました。
ヘルメットのようなものを被るのですが、大変なことに最初水中の圧力が耳抜き少ししただけで合っていたのに、突然付き添いのインストラクターさんがいきなり、栓を引っ張り、超圧力で鼓膜が痛かったです。何故でしょうか？耳に指で栓をして必死に時間まで耐え頑張りました。調節お願いしたかったけど、近くに誰もいず怖かったです。
船は相乗りで、１５人くらい同乗でした。
スナック菓子を食べて、元気回復しました。

Views were great on the boat tour.
The sand bar activity was a total let down. Many of us were thinking they will start a volleyball game, but soon they were packing the net back! ?! There was basically nothing to do in the sand bar given that.

Then the turtle watching was fun. Then snorkeling was ok.
They do not help out beginners in any way. We asked them multiple times if one of them can come with us for helping out.. but no response.

Given the price, i would rate this ok overall..

From start to finish, I had an amazing experience! It was truly moving to swim in such a beautiful ocean surrounded by so many dolphins and marine friends right in front of me.

At one point, I got a bit tired and waited on the boat, but instead, I was able to see the dolphins jumping all at once, and the crew played the ukulele and sang, which was really enjoyable.

The crew members were all cheerful and worked hard to ensure everyone had a great time, and there was never a dull moment, in a good way!

One thing to note is that the snorkeling gear provided locally might be too big for smaller Japanese individuals, so it's better to either borrow a kids' size or bring your own!

This tour offered a wonderful Hawaiian experience, allowing us to indulge in the beauty of Hawaii's nature in just half a day, but what made it truly special was the crew's effort to help us create many memories. I definitely recommend playing a lot with the crew and the marine friends!

最初から最後までどこを切り取っても最高の時間を体験させてもらいました！
あれだけのイルカ先生たちや海の仲間たちを目の前にして、しかもとても綺麗な海で泳ぐことができて本当に感動しました。
途中ちょっと疲れてしまって船の上で待機していたのですが、逆に一斉にイルカたちがジャンプしているのをしっかりみれたり、クルーの方がウクレレ弾いて歌ってくれたり等、色々楽しみ方があってとても良かったです。
クルーの皆さん達は本当に陽気で全員を満遍なく楽しませてくれようと頑張ってくれて、良い意味で隙が全然ありませんでした笑
一つ気になったのは、現地でお借りするシュノーケルは小柄な日本人だと大きすぎるので、全然キッズサイズを借りるか、もしくは持参の方がいいです！
とてもハワイらしい素敵な体験をさせてくれたこちらのツアーの魅力は、ハワイの大自然の良いところを半日で贅沢に味わえるのもそうですが、沢山の思い出を作らせてくれようと努力してくれたクルーの皆さんが本当に最高でした。ぜひ、クルーの皆さん達と、海の仲間達といっぱい遊んで欲しいです！

Thanks to your great service, we could enjoy a lot today!
The pick up/off ,tour guidance, lunch servise and equipments for activities were very good.
I was happy to hear "Okaeri" when I came back from the tour. I really appreciate all of your big smile and kindness.

I searched for activities that I could do with my 1 year and 11-month-old child on the Big Island of Hawaii and participated in one. Since we came all the way to the Big Island, I wanted to join activities that allow us to enjoy nature, but I thought there would be quite limited options for toddlers.

This snorkeling tour was enjoyable for both adults and toddlers! They provided rental snorkeling gear in adult sizes, as well as baby-sized safety vests and floaties, which you could choose between those with and without a seat.

By adjusting the playtime according to the water temperature and the baby's condition, we were able to have a great time. When we visited, the water temperature was a bit chilly, so we opted for the afternoon course with an hour and a half of snorkeling time, but we wrapped it up after about 30 minutes to accommodate the baby's condition. (The first 10 minutes of snorkeling time included a briefing on safety and a tutorial on how to use the snorkeling gear.)

During the remaining time, we relaxed in the sun while enjoying an all-you-can-eat snack and giving the baby some treats while admiring the beautiful scenery. My husband enjoyed snorkeling a bit longer and had fun on the diving slide.

We were able to fully enjoy snorkeling unique to the Big Island, seeing the clear water and many colorful fish! If you bring an underwater camera, the clear water allows you to capture adorable fish swarming around the coral reefs, which is a lot of fun.

The slide was quite high for someone like me who can't swim (you slide down from the second floor of the boat into the sea), but my husband seemed to enjoy it. It was hard to get bored, but if you do get tired of snorkeling, you can also enjoy the thrilling slide or diving, making the hour and a half fly by!

On the way back, in addition to snacks, there were all-you-can-eat cut oranges and pineapples, allowing us to recover the calories we burned swimming while enjoying the beautiful sea, making the cruise itself enjoyable. The baby was happy because he could eat oranges! They mentioned that you might see dolphins during the cruise, but unfortunately, we didn't see any during our time, though it was still plenty of fun.

Also, please note that Japanese is not spoken on-site, and communication is only in English. Moreover, there were no other Japanese people besides our family. However, even with our limited English, the staff responded with smiles and didn't show any displeasure, so I think even with middle school-level English, you can manage just fine. There are Japanese instruction sheets on board for safety briefings, so if you're worried about your English skills, you can feel comfortable participating. The safety instructions included areas where swimming is allowed, prohibitions against diving under the boat, touching the coral reefs, standing on the seabed including the coral reefs, and warnings about not touching sea urchins as they are very dangerous.

One service I appreciated was that there was sunscreen available on the boat for free. Since environmentally friendly sunscreen is necessary to protect the coral reefs, I was wondering if my own sunscreen would be okay, but they had proper sunscreen available that could be used for babies as well! It was mentioned in the instructions to apply it 30 minutes before entering the water.

The boat was a catamaran, which might have less sway, but it still rocked quite a bit, so I think it's better for those who are prone to seasickness to take motion sickness medication. It’s also wise to have bags and wipes for the baby. Since the cruise takes about an hour each way, it might be good to have a change of clothes for the baby, as they might get cold if they stay in wet swimsuits on the way back. We didn't bring any, and I wrapped the baby in a bath towel to keep him warm in the sun on the way back, so it was fine, but it might be better to have a change of clothes. By the way, the only place to change is the restro

1歳11ヶ月の幼児とハワイ島で参加出来るアクティビティを探して参加しました。
せっかくハワイ島に来たからには自然を満喫出来るアクティビティに参加したいですが、
幼児もとなるとなかなか少ないと思います。

こちらのシュノーケリングツアーは幼児も問題無く楽しめました！
大人サイズのシュノーケリング道具のレンタルはもちろん、ベビーサイズの安全ベスト(名前が分からない)や、浮き輪も股付き、股無しで選べて貸してくれます。

水温やベビーの体調を鑑みて、遊ぶ時間を調整すれば楽しく過ごせます。
我が家が遊びに行った時期は水温が少し冷たかったので午後のコースで1時間半のシュノーケリングタイムでしたが、ベビーの体調に合わせて30分位で切り上げました。
(シュノーケリングタイムの最初の10分位は注意事項の説明とシュノーケリングの使い方講座です)

残りの時間は素晴らしい景色を眺めながら、食べ放題のスナックを頂いたり、ベビーにおやつをあげたりしながらのんびり日向ぼっこ。
主人はもう少しシュノーケリングをしたり、飛び込みのすべり台をして楽しんでいました。


水の透明度も、カラフルなお魚達もたくさん見れてハワイ島ならではのシュノーケリングを満喫出来ました！
水中カメラを持って行くと水が綺麗なので、珊瑚礁に群がる可愛い魚たちを撮ることが出来て楽しいです。


すべり台は泳げない私には結構な高さで(船の二階から海に滑り降りる)出来ませんでしたが、主人は楽しかったようです。
なかなか飽きませんが、もしシュノーケリングに飽きたらスリリングなすべり台や飛び込みも出来て1時間半はあっという間です！

帰りの船内ではスナックの他にカットオレンジやパイナップルが食べ放題で、
泳いで消費したカロリーを回復しながら素敵な海を眺め、クルージング自体も楽しかったです。
ベビーもオレンジは食べれるのでご機嫌でした！
クルージング中にいるかに会えるかも？と書いていましたが、私達の時は見れず残念でしたがそれでも十分楽しかったです。


それと現地では日本語は通じず、英語のみで会話します。
しかも私達家族以外の日本人も居ませんでした。
それでもチェックインからつたない単語メインの英語でも、スタッフの方は嫌な顔せずニコニコと対応してくれるので中学生レベルの英語でもなんとかなります。
船内では注意事項の説明は日本語の説明書があるので英語力に不安がある場合も安心して遊べると思います。
注意事項は泳いで良い範囲、
海洋保護地区の為に船の下に潜る事、珊瑚礁に触ること、珊瑚礁を含め海底に立つことを禁止、ウニはとても危険だから触らない事等が書いていました。

サービスで嬉しかったのは、日焼け止めも船にあり無料で使えた事です。
珊瑚礁を白化から守るため環境配慮の日焼け止めが必要で自分が持っている日焼け止めでも大丈夫かな？と思っていたら、ちゃんと日焼け止めが用意してあり、ベビーにも使えました！
水に入る30分前には塗ること、と注意事項に書いていました。

船は双胴船で揺れも少ないのかも知れませんが、それでもだいぶ揺れるので酔いやすい方は酔い止め薬を飲んだ方が良いと思います。
ベビー用には袋と拭くものがあると無難です。
クルージングも片道1時間弱あるので、帰りに濡れた水着のままだとベビーが寒がるかも知れないので着替えもあった方が良いと思います。
我が家は持って行かず、ベビーをバスタオルでぐるぐる巻きにして日向ぼっこさせながら帰ったので大丈夫でしたが、着替えた方が良いかも知れませんね。
ちなみに着替える場所は船内にトイレしかありません。

ハワイ島で幼児も参加出来るアクティビティを探しているならオススメです。

Fabulous experience - I would highly recommend this to everyone. Well organised, helpful staff, who went out of their way to make it an amazing experience for all. Plenty of time to snorkel when it wasn't your turn to ride on the underwater scooter. We saw turtles and lots of different types of fish. The photographer took great photos and a video, which you can pay to download later if you want to. A perfect day and I loved every minute of it.
One tip - take a sweatshirt. The weather wasn't great the day we went. Whilst the sea was warm, we were provided with wet suit tops so we were fine during the activity but we were a bit cold when we got out of the water, during the pack up and the boat ride back to shore.

This tour offers an experience that you absolutely cannot have on your own. The captain searched for wild dolphins, found the spots, and stopped the boat, which I thought was amazing. Dolphins are smart and swim fast, so we desperately chased after them, making it not easy to spot them. However, the excitement of seeing dolphins in the ocean made it all worthwhile. The guide and crew were friendly and kind, which made the experience enjoyable, and I am grateful for that. Our guide, Karen, is from Hawaii, but her Japanese is very good, and you can really feel her love for Hawaii. I thought she was such a lovely person! Thank you so much for this precious experience. MAHALO~♪

個人では、絶対に出来ない体験が出来るツアーです。船長さんが野生のイルカを探しながら、ポイントを見つけて、船を止めてくれて、スゴイなと思いました。イルカも賢いし、泳ぐのも速いから、私達も必死で泳ぎながら追いかけて、イルカを見つけるのは簡単ではなかったけど、その分、海の中でイルカを見れた時の感動は大きかったです。ガイドさんやクルーの方達もフレンドリー&親切で楽しかったし、感謝してます。ガイドのカレンさんはハワイ出身だけど、日本語がとても上手&とてもハワイを愛してるのを感じられて、可愛い人だなぁ〜と思いました。貴重な体験、どうもありがとうございました。MAHALO〜♪

After seeing the beautifully clear sea and fish at Molokini Island, I moved near Wailea and played with sea turtles. The hamburger served on the boat was also very delicious.

モロキニ島にて透き通るほど綺麗な海で魚たちを見た後、ワイレア付近に移動しウミガメと戯れました。船上ででたハンバーガーもとても美味しかったです。

I participated in my first Hawaii trip five years ago, and it became my best memory, so I joined again without hesitation this time! We were able to see dolphins and turtles again! The staff, especially Shohta who speaks Japanese, were all so much fun, it felt like Disneyland!

However, it seemed like there were more people this time than last. The boat was crowded, and when swimming, there were so many people that it was hard to hear and see the dolphins. More than anything, I felt that the communication with the staff and the sense of unity among participants had decreased. This activity is different from others; I believe that the satisfaction comes more from the staff's interactions and the atmosphere rather than just seeing or playing with the dolphins, so I think having a bit more space would enhance the sense of unity.

It was a bit chilly in December, but it was fine without renting a wetsuit. The water wasn't cold. I felt like more than 10% of the participants got seasick. It seems like there weren't any sick people five years ago...? Maybe it was because of the winter and the high waves? Even if you usually don't get seasick, it might be a good idea to have some motion sickness medication.

5年前の初ハワイでも参加して、1番の思い出になったので今回も迷わず参加しました！今回もイルカもカメも見れました！スタッフさん、特に日本語担当ショウタさんはじめ皆さんとっても楽しくてディズニーランドみたいでした！
ただ、前回より人が多かった気がします。船ギュウギュウだし、泳ぐ時も人が多すぎて声が聞こえづらくてイルカも見づらかったです。何よりスタッフさんとのコミュニケーションや参加者の一体感が少なくなっていたと思います。このアクティビティは他と違って、イルカを見るとか遊ぶとかの目的よりもスタッフの皆さんの対応や雰囲気が満足につながっていると思うので、もう少しゆとりがあった方が一体感も出て良いと思いました。
１２月で少し寒い時期でしたが、ウエットスーツレンタル無しでも大丈夫でした。水は冷たくないです。1割以上の方が酔っていた気がします。5年前は酔った人いなかったような…？冬で波が高いとかですかね？普段酔わなくても酔い止めがあった方がいいかもしれません

Three years ago, I participated with my daughter and had a great time, so this time I joined with friends. The staff were very considerate, taking photos for us and accommodating the two who didn't participate in snorkeling by letting them stay on the cruiser. The malasadas and BBQ were also very delicious, and we even had seconds. We were blessed with wonderful weather and had the best time.

3年前に娘と参加してとても楽しかったので、今回は友人と参加しました。
スタッフの方が写真を撮ってくれたり、シュノーケルに参加しなかった二人をクルーザーに乗せてくれたりとても気使って頂き楽しかったです。
マラサダとBBQもとても美味しくお代わりもしました。
とても天気にも恵まれて最高の時間を過ごすことができました。

I think this tour depends on the weather. If the weather is bad, it gets cold. The staff were all kind and funny!

Next time I participate, I want to see sea turtles.

Kailua was very enjoyable, and the timing was just right.

The pancakes at Boots & Kimo's were absolutely delicious!

このツアーは天気次第だと思います
天気悪いと寒いです。
スタッフは皆さん親切で面白かったです！

次に参加したときはウミガメに会いたいです

カイルアはとても楽しかったし
時間も丁度よかったです

ブーツ&キモズのパンケーキ最高に美味しかったです！

Unfortunately, I couldn't see the turtles, but I had the precious experience of swimming with dolphins. I also enjoyed the spam musubi for lunch and got to see the staff's hula dance, making the most of my half day in Hawaii. I am very satisfied. I definitely want to participate again next time I come to Hawaii.

残念ながらカメを見ることはできませんでしたが、イルカと泳ぐとゆう貴重な体験ができました。お昼のスパムおにぎりやスタッフの方のフラダンスも見れてハワイを半日で満喫できました。大満足です。次回ハワイにきた際もぜひ参加したいです。

I loved every bit of it. If your going to Hawaii u must do this activity.

Cheiko san was a wonderful tour guide for a first time snorkeler. She was experienced, frhendly and professional! It was wonderful to follow her and explore underwater world. Even though the weather was a bit windy and waves were high, we could still enjoy safe snorkeling with her.

Participants need to bring some extra cash for equipment rental, entrance fee and others.

They provided clear and detailed explanations about where to sit after boarding. They were always attentive to me, offering ginger-infused soda and acupressure for motion sickness when I started to feel unwell. Even after entering the water, they supported us while considering each person's swimming level! I struggled to encounter a turtle, but after persistent effort, they found one at the last moment, and the turtle came up to the surface for air! It was so cute and moving!!

They even set aside a hamburger for me since I couldn't eat due to feeling unwell, and I truly appreciate their thoughtfulness. My husband, who participated with me, was also very touched! Thank you so much!

乗船してからどこの位置に座ればいいかなどその他も事細かな説明を分かりやすくして頂きました。船酔いしていまった私に、生姜の入った炭酸水や酔い止めのツボを押してくれたり常に気に掛けて頂きました。また、海に入ってからもそれぞれの泳ぎのレベルに配慮してサポートして頂きました！亀になかなか出会えず粘りに粘って最後の最後で、亀を見つけてくれて息継ぎに亀が水面に上がって来ました！とても可愛いくて感動しました!!
ランチのハンバーガーを気分が悪く食べられなかった私の分も取り置いてくれていて、心遣いに心中より感謝致します。一緒に参加した主人もとても感動しておりました！本当にありがとうございました！

About three days ago, the first tour was fully booked, so I signed up for this tour. They picked us up by bus, and from there we moved to the sandbar by boat. I didn’t feel seasick at all, and it was really pleasant arriving at the sandbar. Unfortunately, the water level was up to my waist, but it was very beautiful. We strolled around, took photos, and relaxed at a leisurely pace. There was plenty of time.

After that, we had a hamburger lunch! It was delicious, with freshly grilled patties. You could add tomatoes, onions, lettuce, and more as you liked. Then we went sea turtle watching. I think we saw about ten turtles. They swam gracefully and occasionally popped their heads up for air. After that, snorkeling at a stunning spot! We visited several snorkeling points, and there were many fish. It was the first time I saw a sea turtle. A few groups spotted them, and since I wasn’t wearing a flotation jacket, I dove down a bit and saw them up close. It was amazing to swim alongside the turtles. (Of course, I think I was lucky…)

Snorkeling was also very enjoyable. The plan, which included the sandbar, lunch, sea turtles, and snorkeling, was very satisfying. Our guide, Yuki, was also a lot of fun and shared some movie filming stories, which made it enjoyable. I will definitely join this tour again next time. I highly recommend it!

*Put your belongings in a vinyl bag. Wear marine (water) shoes and bring extra towels from the hotel. Keep your phone around your neck. If possible, sitting on the outer side of the front deck allows for better views of the turtles. Make sure to apply sunscreen well. Drinks are included, so you don’t need too many, but having one for the trip or when you want to drink right away is necessary. Don’t forget to prepare a tip; around $20 to $25 per person is ideal. After the tour, we returned to the hotel by 4 PM, and then we had plenty of time to enjoy shopping.

3日くらい前一番初めのツアーが空いていなかったので、
このツアーに申し込み。バスで迎えに来てくれて、そこから船で移動
まったく、船酔いすることもなく、すごく、気持ちよくサンドバー到着。
あいにく腰下まで水位がありましたが、すごくきれい。
ぶらぶら歩いたり写真を撮ったりまったり、ゆっくり。十分な時間でした。
その後、ハンバーガーランチ！こちらも美味しい。ハンバーグも焼き立て。
トマト、オニオン、レタスなどもお好きに挟んで。という感じ。
その後、ウミガメウオッチング。
10匹は見えたと思います。優雅に泳いでたまに顔を水面に出してくれました。
その後シュノーケリングも最高にきれいなポイント！
いくつかシュノーケルポイントは行きましたが、魚も多く
ウミガメが見えたのは初めて。
数組の方が発見して、私は浮きのジャケットを着ていなかったので、少し潜ったら大きく見えました。さらに、カメと一緒に泳ぐことも出来て最高でした。
（もちろん、ラッキーだったと思いますが…）
シュノーケリングも十分楽しめます。サンドバー・ランチ・ウミガメ・シュノーケルと大満足のプランでした。案内してくださったＹＵＫＩさんもとても、
楽しい方で映画の撮影の紹介などもあり、楽しめました。
次に行くときもこのツアーに絶対参加します。お勧めです
※荷物はビニール素材のバックに入れて。靴はマリン（ウォーター)シューズ・タオルはホテルレンタル多めに。携帯は首にかけて。可能なら、前のデッキの外側に座れるとそのまま、カメがうまく見えます。日焼け止めはしっかり塗って。ドリンクはついているので、そんなにいらないが1本くらいは移動やすぐ飲みたいときに必要。チップを準備するのを忘れないで。一人、20ドルから25ドルくらいが理想です。
終了後も16時にホテルに戻りその後、十分にお買い物楽しめます。

Disappointing. Few manta rays far away.
Arms were aching outstretched hanging onto raft. Crew was not very friendly. Snacks were unavailable and drinking water not there. Had to ask for a cup of water 2 or 3 times.
Regretable experience. Let down.

It was a clear day, and both the sea and the mountains were beautiful. The shallowest area had water up to my knees, but it was surprisingly clear, like a different world.

I was worried about snorkeling since I couldn't do the breaststroke, but I was able to move just by using my hands, and I was thrilled to see sea turtles swimming up close.

The blueberry or chocolate muffins we received right after boarding, as well as the lunch, were delicious.

If I had to mention something, the driver was late compared to the meeting time, and he was distributing the schedule by wetting each piece of paper. Also, the changing area on the way to Kailua was in a public restroom with limited stalls, and since locals were using it too, it made us a bit rushed. However, at Būkimō, it was not crowded, and I was able to eat pancakes right away.

I also think it would be helpful if the tour included tips. I definitely want to join again during low tide next time.

当日は快晴で海だけでなく山もとても綺麗でした。一番浅い場所で膝ぐらいの水位でしたが、驚くほど透明で別世界の景色です。
シュノーケリングは、平泳ぎの足が出来ず心配でしたが、手をかくだけで進み、海亀の泳ぐ姿を間近でみれてテンションが上がりました。
乗船してすぐ頂くブルーベリーorチョコのマフィンもランチも美味しかったです。
強いて言うなら、行きのドライバーさんが集合時間より遅れて来たこと、車内で配るスケジュールを1枚ずつ唾を付けて配っていたこと、カイルアへ行く途中の着替えがどこかのトイレで個数も少なく、地元の方も使うので譲っていたら時間が…となり焦ったぐらいです。ブーキモは空いててすぐパンケーキを食べれました。
あと、ツアーがチップ込みだと助かるな〜と思います。次回は干潮の時にぜひ参加します。

This was my first time in Hawaii, so I made a reservation based on information I found online. The communication regarding transportation was polite, and I received updates about the meeting location and time changes from the hotel. Women must wear rash guards, which also protect against the wind when boarding. For men, it's all about determination.

During our visit, we were comfortably picked up by a large tour bus. We stopped to use the restroom at the boat departure location. Due to the large number of participants, we split into two boats: one with mostly Japanese people and the other more international. Personally, I preferred the international boat, but my family wanted to be on the one with mostly Japanese passengers. The energetic and thorough explanations from the staff really boosted our spirits.

At the sandbar, we borrowed goggles and snorkels to enter the water. It's essential to have a waterproof case for your smartphone, even if it's a cheap one from a dollar store. The water level was about waist to thigh deep, allowing us to walk around, enjoy the scenery, and play volleyball. It might be fun to bring a ball that doesn't get blown away easily.

For turtle watching, we moved from the sandbar and observed from the boat. We saw many turtles, which was exciting, but it was a bit difficult to take photos due to the distance.

Lunch consisted of hamburgers on the boat. If you line up early, you can enjoy your meal at a leisurely pace. Since the portions are light, those with big appetites might want to bring something extra.

The captain's guitar performance was also a nice touch. For snorkeling around the coral, in addition to the snorkel, we borrowed life jackets and fins. If the staff can share some bread, you can feed the fish, which is sure to be a thrilling experience. You can swim around the coral and enjoy the beautiful scenery with your friends.

The weather was decent. Some members got stung by jellyfish, including my daughter, but we received medication and it was no problem. Please note that you cannot flush toilet paper on the boat. It's important to be considerate and keep it clean for everyone, but it might be tough for those who are very particular about cleanliness.

On the return bus, plastic covers were set on the seats. Even if you can't change clothes, there's no need to worry. (Remember to bring some cash to leave a tip when disembarking.)

Instead of worrying about "the weather not being perfect," "the jellyfish," or "the restroom situation," it's better to focus on enjoying what you can. If you can have a good time, the staff's spirits will lift too, making the experience even more enjoyable.

初ハワイなので、ネット情報を参考にして申し込みました。
送迎の連絡は丁寧で、迎えの場所及び時間の変更連絡はホテルにいただけました。女性はラッシュガードが必須。乗船時の風からも守ってくれます。男は気合です。
私たちの時は大きな観光バスでのお迎えにて快適に移動。ボート出航場所でトイレを済ませます。ボート乗船は参加人数が多く2隻に分乗。日本人ばかりのボートとインターナショナルなボートに分かれました。個人的にはインターナショナルが良かったのですが、家族の希望で日本人ばかりの船に。元気で丁寧な説明をいただき気分も盛り上がりました。
サンドバーでは、水中眼鏡とシュノーケルを借りて入水します。スマホは必ず100均のでいいので防水ケースに。腰～太ももくらいまで水位がありましたが、歩いたり、景色を楽しんだり、バレーを楽しんだり。風に飛ばされにくいボールなんかを持っていくと面白いかも。
ウミガメウォッチは、サンドバーから移動してボート上からウォッチします。たくさんのウミガメを見て盛り上がりますが、やや距離があるので写真におさめるのは困難です。
ランチは、船上でハンバーガーでした。早めに並ぶとゆっくり食べられます。軽めなので、大食漢の方は何か持って行った方がいいかもしれません。
船長（？）のギターの弾き語りもいい感じです。
サンゴの周りのシュノーケリングは、シュノーケルの他に、ライフジャケットとフィンを借りて入水します。もし、スタッフの方からパンを分けてもらえれば、魚への餌やりができます。魚の勢いに驚くこと必至。シュノーケリングでサンゴの周りを一周できます。きれいなサンゴを仲間と一緒に楽しめます。
お天気はまずまず。クラゲに刺されるメンバーもいて、娘もその被害に合いましたが薬をいただき問題なし。船上のトイレは紙を流すことができません。お互いのためにきれいに使う意識も大事ですが、潔癖症の方は厳しいかも。
帰りのバスの席にはビニールがセットされています。着替えることができなくても心配ありません。（下船時に気持ちをチップとして残すので、お金を忘れないように）
「天気がピーカンじゃない」とか「クラゲが～」とか「トイレが～」とか考えるよりも、楽しめることを楽しんだ者勝ちです。楽しそうに過ごせたら、スタッフの気持ちも上がって、もっと楽しく過ごせるかも。

We have been too the Island 6 times and decided to do this excursion. We had an awesome time. Mike was great and all staff very personable. Saw Mante Rays, turtles and lots of colorful fish. Our only complaint was that they should use better beef for the burgers. Over all we highly recommend this tour you will not be disappointed.

The sandbar and snorkeling were both amazing. I think it can be enjoyed in any scenario, whether you're with a partner, colleagues, or family. I was moved to see sea turtles up close!

サンドバー、シュノーケリング共に最高でした。カップル、同僚、家族、どのパターンでも楽しめると思います。海カメを間近で見れて感動しました！

We set sail from the port and quickly arrived at the snorkeling spot after receiving instructions. One by one, we entered the water and swam with the guide, where we were able to see many dolphins up close. I swam with my child, and both of us were moved by the experience. I think we spent about 15 minutes in the water. The dolphins seemed to stay in the area, so I wished we could have swum a bit longer. Since we were swimming in the open sea, if you don't have enough stamina, you won't be able to chase the dolphins, so I recommend building up your endurance before participating. My 62-year-old mother didn't have enough stamina and got tired just from swimming, so she had to get out of the water before seeing the dolphins. Next time, I want to invite other family members to join us.

港を出港してシュノーケリングの指導を受けているとすぐにポイントに到着しました。
順番に海に入りガイドさんと泳いでいくと、たくさんのイルカを間近で見る事が出来ました。
子供と一緒に泳ぎましたが、親子とも感動しました。
時間にして15分くらいだったと思います。
イルカたちはずっとその場にいたようなので、もう少し長く泳いでいたかったです。
沖で泳ぐので体力がないとイルカを追いかけられないので、しっかり体力作りをして参加することをオススメします。
62歳の母は体力がなく、泳ぐだけで疲れてしまい、イルカを見る前に海から上がってしまいました。
次回は他の家族も誘い参加したいです。
