All Reviews for Snorkeling Cruises & Tours

Children's opinion:
The waves were rough, but there were fish, and it was fun.

It takes about an hour by boat to get to Molokini Island.
By chance, there was a strong southwest wind, so the boat was rocking quite a bit, but it seems that about 70% of the year is calm.
There were also considerable waves around Molokini Island, and we could only stay for a short time, but it seems that it's actually calm like a lake, so I want to try again.

波が荒れてたけど魚がいて楽しかった。

モロキニ島へは、船で1時間。
たまたま、サウスウエストの風が強く吹いていたため、かなり船が揺れていたが、1年のうち70%くらいは、穏やかだそうです。
モロキニ島周辺もかなりの波があり、短い時間しか入れなかったが、本当は湖のように穏やかだそうなので、またリベンジしたいです。

I was invited to a wedding in Honolulu and the bride and I were looking at a few activities for us to do while there. I saw the video for the BOB and we immediately wanted to do it. We made reservation for the 4 of us. I’m not a swimmer and haven’t been since high school. The staff was so professional and caring. I love their motto of “we treat everyone as non swimmers...” Their patience is great with all participants. Very knowledgeable about their equipment, their staff and the environment. Each staff played their part in our safety and the for the fish and turtles! And the fact they not only take pictures, they give you memorable videos. This was an Amazing experience that we’ve encountered and we’re telling everyone in Chicago about it!! Thank you for sharing this experience! Saturday, July 13, 2019 8:30 am

We couldn't ask for a better way to spend our last day in Oahu.
This tour was so relaxing and fun. Everyone was so friendly including staff and other participants.
The Sand bar was so exciting, and the turtles were cute. and snorkelling amazing.
Everything is well organised.


One advice to people who go on this tour -
Go to the bathroom before boarding the ship,
since the bathrooms are not that convenient.
but they are there if you need them :-)

The sandbar was disappointing because the water level was high, but snorkeling was great as I got to see sea turtles and schools of fish. Additionally, I had the opportunity to try stand-up paddleboarding and kayaking, which made for a very fulfilling experience. The staff were all kind and entertaining, which was wonderful. Thank you very much.

サンドバーは水位が高くて残念だったけど
シュノーケルは海ガメにあえたり、魚の群れに
出会えたりしてとっても良かったです。
その他にSUPを体験させてもらえたり
カヤックを体験させてもらえて、とっても
充実した時間がすごせました。
スタッフも優しくおもしろい人ばかりで
よかったです。ありがとうございました。

It was a shame that the weather wasn't clear on the day, but I had a wonderful time with a cheerful guide! If I have the chance to go to Hawaii again, I would like to participate when the weather is clear and the tide is low. Thank you!☆

当日は快晴でなかったのが残念でしたが、愉快なガイドさんとともに楽しいひとときを過ごさせてもらいました！
またハワイに行く機会があったときは、快晴＆潮が引いてるときを狙って参加したいです。
ありがとうございました☆

I encountered sea turtles, had a great time snorkeling, and was entertained throughout the journey. I think it was a very well-organized tour. Thank you very much.

海ガメにも遇えたし、楽しくシュノーケリングが出来たし、道中ずっと楽しませてくれたし、とても完成度の高いツアーだと思いました。
ありがとうございました。

It was amazing.
It was my first experience, and I was continuously moved.
The beautiful sea, the cute sea turtles, and the fun staff.
The snorkeling had clear explanations and safety considerations, which made me feel very secure.
I don't get to go to Hawaii often, but this is one activity I want to experience again next time.
Thank you very much.

最高でした。
初めての体験でしたが、感動の連続でした。
綺麗な海、可愛いウミガメ、楽しいスタッフ
シュノーケルも分かりやすい説明と安全面の配慮がとても安心でした。
なかなかハワイ行けないけど、次回も体験したいアクティビティのひとつです。
ありがとうございました。

Words can't explain...the entire experience was awesome from start to finish. From the excursion to the staff, top notch!

I had a lot of fun, but even though I arrived early at the meeting place, it seems there was an explanation in English, which I struggle with. As a result, I ended up boarding the boat late, and the only seats available were on the sunny second floor, but I managed to find a spot that was somewhat shaded from the sun.

I felt a sense of alienation, realizing what it's like when you can't communicate. I had to observe the people around me while eating... For those who are not good at English at all, please pay attention to the people around you.

The sea is beautiful, and the staff are kind, but I was a bit disappointed.

とても楽しかったんですが、集合場所に早くに集まったのに、英語での説明はあったらしいが、英語が苦手。その為船に乗るのが遅くなり、二階の日の当たる席しか空いてなく、どうにか日差し遮る場所に座れました。
言葉が通じないってこんな感じなんだなって疎外感
周りの人の様子見ながら食事したり…
英語が全く苦手の人は周りの人の様子観察してください。

海は綺麗だしスタッフも優しいのですが、ちょっとガッカリでした。

The guide was kind and a great speaker. I had a lot of fun. I didn't encounter any dolphins, but I did come across a large manta ray.

ガイドが親切で話しも上手。すごく楽しめました。イルカには出会えなかったけど、大きなマンタに遭遇しました。

Everything went smoothly from the pickup time to arrival. Renting a bicycle for $10 was a great decision. We quickly got takeout from Kimo's Pancakes. We shared it and ended up very full. The staff were kind, and we had a wonderful time at Kailua Beach. For lunch, we had plates at the hotel.

迎えの時間から到着まで順調にいき
自転車を＄１０で借り正解です。
キモズ　パンケーキも時間かからずテイクアウト
できました。二人でシェアして食べましたがお腹いっぱいになりました。
スタッフの方々も親切で
とても充実したカイルアビーチを過ごせました。
ランチはプレイトにしてホテルで食べました。

I participated on July 11. At first, I was a bit anxious because I couldn't encounter any dolphins, but I was able to see them on the second approach. Since I swim slowly, I had a hard time keeping up with everyone and was starting to give up on seeing them, but in the end, I was able to meet a pod of dolphins. Everyone mentioned seeing several sea turtles, but when I finally joined the group, there were none around, and I thought I was out of luck again, but I did manage to see one swimming by. That was great! The spam onigiri served on the boat was delicious. It was mentioned that the tip should be around 15%, and I honestly thought $20 per person was a bit tough, but the guide on the day informed us that $5 per person was acceptable, and I was happy to give that amount.

７月１１日に参加しました。最初のアプローチではイルカと出会えず
少し不安になりましたが２回目のアプローチで出会えました。特に自分は泳ぎが遅いためなかなか皆さんについていけず、自分だけ見ることができず少し諦めかけていましたが、最後の最後で群れでいるイルカと出会うことができました。ウミガメも皆さんは数匹みれたといっていましたが自分が皆さんの輪にただりついたときは全然いなくて、これまたダメかーと思いましたが一匹だけ泳いでいるのをみれました。良かった！船の上でふるまわれたスパムおにぎり、美味しかったです。チップは１５％くらいとここでは書かれており１人２０ドルは正直キツイなあと思っていましたが、当日のガイドさんからは１人５ドルと案内いただき５ドルならと気持ちよく渡すことができました。

We were picked up at Kings' Land in Waikoloa and taken to the venue. We rented a wetsuit ($10) and a snorkeling set (free) on-site before setting off. The boat rocked quite a bit; it swayed back and forth so much that my girlfriend got sick, which is unusual, as we were told it doesn't usually rock this much. However, the staff were very kind and accommodating! I think even those who usually do fine should definitely take motion sickness medication!

The manta rays came right up to our faces, and it was an amazing experience! It felt like they were checking in on my girlfriend, asking, "Are you okay?" which made us burst out laughing. The waves were intense, so while watching the mantas, we were lying face down, and when we returned to our usual position on the boat, I suddenly felt very seasick.

On the way back, it was quite cold even with the wetsuit on, so warm clothing is essential! The boat ride lasts about 30 minutes, and during that time, you might be shivering.

But even with that, it was the best experience! We're already talking about wanting to go see dolphins next time!

ワイコロアのキングズランドまでお迎えに来ていただき会場まで行きました。
現地でウェットスーツ(10ドル)とシュノーケルセット(無料)を借りて出発。
船はかなり揺れました、いつもはこんなに揺れないと言われるくらい縦に横に揺れて彼女は戻してしまうほど( ˊᵕˋ ;)でもスタッフの方達はかなり親切に対応して下さいました！普段大丈夫な人も酔い止め必須だと思います！

マンタは本当に顔の目の前まで来てくれて素晴らしい体験でした！！彼女に「大丈夫かー？」って言ってくれてるかのようで思わず吹き出しました。笑
波が激しかったのでマンタ見てる時はうつ伏せ状態→船に戻って普段の体制になると私も急激に酔いが回りました。

帰りはウェットスーツ来ててもかなり寒いので防寒着必須です！船は30分くらい乗るのでその間は震えます。

でもそれを差し引いても最高の体験でした！次回はイルカ行きたいねーと話しています！

The boat sways quite a bit, so I recommend that those who are prone to motion sickness take medication before participating. I was grateful for the cheerful staff who provided thoughtful attention.

船が結構揺れるので、酔いやすい方は薬を飲んでから参加することをお勧めします。
スタッフの方々は明るく細かい配慮をしてくださりありがたかったです。

Thank you very much. I had a great time. I look forward to seeing you again. The weather was also very nice.

ありがとうございます。楽しかったです。
また是非よろしくお願いいたします。
天気もとてもよかったです

It’s a bit of a distance, but you can meet dolphins, so we arrived at the point. In the distance, dolphins were jumping, and they seemed to be in a good mood today. With many dolphins and the attentive care of the two guides, I participated alone but had a great time. I want to join again!

ちょっと遠くなるけどイルカに会えるからと、ポイントに到着、遠くけらイルカがジャンプしていて、今日は機嫌がいいよーと。
たくさんのイルカとガイドのお二人の丁寧な気遣いでひとり参加でしたがとても楽しむことができました。また参加したいです！

Despite being warned multiple times, we mistakenly went to the wrong meeting place, but they were very kind to us. (The Hilton Hawaiian Village is really something to watch out for. The Grand Islander and Grand Waikikian can be confusing.)
Our guide, Chieko, was Japanese and very kind and attentive. Unlike a previous snorkeling tour where I had a foreign guide and struggled to communicate, which made me feel scared when I cramped up, we were able to enjoy ourselves as a couple this time.
It's also great that we could take photos with a GoPro and receive them later. I brought an underwater camera, but I was so focused on swimming that I couldn't take good pictures, so this truly became a lifelong memory. Thank you very much.

散々注意されていたにも関わらず集合場所を間違えた私たちに大変親切に対応していただきました。(ヒルトンハワイアンビレッジは本当に要注意。グランドアイランダーとグランドワイキキアンが紛らわしい。）
ガイドのチエコさんは日本人でとても親切丁寧な方で、以前どこかのシュノーケルツアーで外国人ガイドで言葉があまり通じず、足がつったりしても伝えられず怖い思いをしたようなことは全然なく、夫婦で楽しむことができました。
ゴープロで写真を撮ってあとでいただけるのもありがたいですね、水中カメラを持参したのですが、泳ぐのに必死でうまく撮れなかったので、本当に一生の記念、です。ありがとうございました。

Although the visibility of the sea wasn't great due to the rain the day before, the emerald green and cobalt blue waters sparkling in the sunlight were truly beautiful. We encountered many sea turtles, and my husband even had moments where he swam close enough to them while being careful not to touch! Our guide, Yukiko, was also impressive just to watch, and she is a big reason why I want to join this tour again and meet her!

前日雨だったため海の透明度はいまいちとのことでしたが、きらきら太陽の光が輝くエメラルドグリーン、コバルトブルーの海は本当にきれいでした♡
ウミガメにもたくさん会え、主人はシュノーケリングスポットで触れちゃわないように気をつけるくらい近くで一緒に泳げる瞬間も！
ガイドのユキコさんも見ているだけでかっこ気持ちよく、またこのツアーに参加して会いに行きたい！と思う大きな一因です。

The weather was perfect, and the dolphin watching was a huge success! Under the precise guidance of the staff, we encountered a large number of wild dolphins! Just when we were already very satisfied, we even got to see a super rare seal, making it an incredibly fulfilling experience for the whole family!

天気も最高の中、イルカウォッチは大成功！
ガイドさんたちの的確な指示のもと大量の野生のイルカに遭遇！
大満足していたところにトドメに超レアなアザラシまで見ることができ家族含めて大満足の体験でした！！

The day of participation was unfortunately marked by cloudy skies and intermittent rain, but when the sun peeked through for a moment, it was absolutely beautiful! We played beach volleyball, and even though we couldn't communicate with people from other countries, it felt like we connected through sports, making it a really enjoyable time! The hamburger we had for lunch was also incredibly delicious! We were able to see a lot of fish while snorkeling! I think it would be stunning on a sunny day, so I would love to participate again!

参加日はあいにくの曇りとパラパラ雨の繰り返しでしたが、一瞬晴れ間がさすと最高にきれいでした！
ビーチバレーをやりましたが他国の方たちと言葉は通じませんが、スポーツで気持ちが繋がった感じがしてとっても楽しい時間でした！
お昼に食べたハンバーガーもすごくおいしかったです！
シュノーケリングもお魚がたくさん見れました！
晴れたら最高にきれいだと思うのでまた参加したいです！

We went snorkeling at two dolphin sighting points. At the first spot, there were hardly any dolphins, and I thought it might be a lost cause, but the second round was a huge success! A tremendous number of dolphins swam back and forth around us. It became an amazing memory!

イルカ出現ポイントを2か所シュノーケリングしました。
1回目のポイントは、ほぼ居なくて、無理かなぁと思っていたのですが、2回戦目は、大当たり！
凄い数のイルカが、自分たちの周りを行ったり来たり。
サイコーの思い出になりました！

I participated with my father and son. It was much more fun than I expected, and I think it's a recommended tour for people who love marine sports!

私の父と息子で参加。思ってたよりもすごく楽しかったようでマリンスポーツ好きの人にはお勧めのツアーと思います！

I was moved to see wild dolphins!! The person steering the boat anticipates the dolphins' direction, which I found impressive. They provide solid support, so even those who are snorkeling for the first time will be fine. I would love to repeat this experience when I visit the island again!

野生のイルカが見れて感動！！
ボートを操縦される方がイルカの進行方向を先取りするので凄いなーと感心しました。
サポートもしっかりしてくださるのでシュノーケル初めての方でも大丈夫です。
また来島した際にはリピートしたいです！

The weather was nice and the waves were calm, so I was able to enjoy myself without getting seasick. The sea was beautiful, the sea turtles were cute, and the food was delicious, so it was the best experience. I'm really glad I participated!

天気がよく波も穏やかだったので、船に酔うこともなく楽しく過ごせました。
海は綺麗だし、ウミガメはかわいいし、ご飯も美味しかったので最高でした。
参加して本当に良かったです！

Everything was amzing! We loved it. Saw multiple species of dolphins, snorkeling was great

We participated as a couple. The boat had people from various countries, not just Japanese. There were about two Japanese couples. There were mostly Caucasian people. Although the weather was nice that day, there were really few plankton to serve as bait, so we only managed to see them towards the very end. We had to stay in the water the whole time, which made it quite tough as our bodies got cold. I think it would be better to wear a long wetsuit and to go in good health.

夫婦で参加しました。船は、日本人だけでなくいろんな国の人と一緒です。日本人は２組くらい。白人系の人が多かったです。この日は天気はよかったものの、餌となるプランクトンが少なかったということで本当に最後のほうにようやく会えたかんじでした。
ずーっと水にはいっていなければならなかったので体が冷えてかなりきつかった。スエットスーツの長いのを着ていった方が良いと思いますし、体調万全で行った方が良いと思います。

The staff were very kind, and I had a bright and enjoyable time.
I was able to see dolphins, sea turtles, and fish.
Thank you very much.
I think Japanese people will be satisfied.

スタッフの皆さんがとても親切で明るく楽しい時間を過ごしました。
イルカとウミガメと魚を見ることがでぎました。
ありがとうございました。
日本人の方は満足できると思います。

The staff were very kind. They proactively offered guidance for snorkeling and took photos at the sandbar. The BBQ hamburger for lunch was incredibly delicious. Thank you for a wonderful time.

スタッフのみなさんが親切でした。シュノーケルの指導、サンドバーでの写真撮影など進んで声をかけてくれました。昼食のBBQハンバーガー最高に美味しかったです。楽しい時間をありがとうございました。

The staff, the weather, everything was amazing!
I was able to see dolphins, turtles, and manta rays!
I would love to participate again if I have the chance!

スタッフさん、天気、全てにおいて最高でした！
イルカやカメ、マンタも見る事が出来ました！
また機会があれば参加したいです！

I was very satisfied with the tour content and the guide's response! It's just a shame about the weather and the strong waves. I would like to participate again next time.

ツアー内容、ガイドさんの対応等は大変満足でした！
ただお天気と波が強くて残念。
また次の機会に参加したいです。
