All Reviews for Snorkeling Cruises & Tours

The staff members were very good! It was reassuring because everything was easy to understand in Japanese. The malasadas and lunch we had on the boat were even more delicious than we expected.

スタッフの方々がとても良い！日本語でわかりやすいので安心でした。船の上で食べるマラサダとランチが期待以上に美味しかったです。

Waking up early was worth it! When we participated, we quickly got to see dolphins, and it seemed like we were close to the snorkeling spot, so we could stay in the water for a long time. We also got to see sea turtles! Since there were a lot of people, I thought some might find it a bit hard to see the dolphins and turtles when everyone gathered around. The staff were all cheerful, and we had a great time (^_^) The ocean was very beautiful too!

There were also slides from the SUP and the boat, and they played the ukulele for us, finishing with a group hula dance, which was a lot of fun. We had a very fulfilling time! For those who are not good at swimming, I think they provide something like a floatation device, so that should be reassuring.

It took about an hour by bus from Waikiki to the ocean, so I thought it would be wise to take motion sickness medication. For lunch, we had cheeseburgers this time! They also prepared snacks, juice, and water!

早起きした甲斐がありました！
私たちが参加した時はイルカにもすぐ会えて、シュノーケリングスポットの近くだったようなので長い間海にいることができました。ウミガメにも会えました！人数が多いのでイルカや亀がいると全員が集まってくるので少し見づらい方も中にはいるかなと思いました。スタッフの皆さんも陽気な方ばかりで楽しく過ごすことが出来ました(^_^)海もとても綺麗でした！
SUPや船から滑り台もあり、ウクレレも弾いてくれて最後は全員でフラダンス笑。とても充実した時間を過ごすことができました！泳ぐのが苦手な方は浮くことのできる棒のようなものを渡してくれるはずなので安心かなと思います。
ワイキキから海までバスの時間が1時間？位あったので酔い止め飲んでた方が安心だなと思いました。
お昼ご飯は今回はチーズバーガーでした！スナックとジュース、お水も準備してくれてます！

The sandbar was more beautiful than I expected, and I was moved. Kailua Beach was also breathtaking. The Lanikai Pillbox was steeper than I anticipated and quite challenging.

サンドバーが予想以上に綺麗で感動しました。
カイルアビーチも絶景でした。
ラニカイピルボックスが予想以上に急斜面で
大変でした。

I went snorkeling for the first time. To be honest, I'm not a good swimmer and I was scared of not being able to touch the ground, but since I came all the way to Hawaii, I thought I should give it a try at least once. The ocean was so beautiful, and it was a lot of fun swimming while looking at the underwater scenery. I didn't see any dolphins on the first try, and on the second try, I was too tired and just watched from the boat.

For lunch, they give you a hamburger, and you can add tomatoes, lettuce, ketchup, and mustard while sitting down, so you don't have to worry. The hamburgers and snacks were delicious, and the view was stunning—it was the best! Many people got seasick, so I strongly recommend taking motion sickness medication in advance if you're worried about that.

初めてシュノーケリングをしました。
実は泳ぐのが苦手で地に足が着かないのも怖くて嫌だったのですが、せっかくハワイに来たので1回くらい…と思って参加しました。
海がとても綺麗で、海の中を見ながら泳げてとても楽しかったです。
1回目ではイルカが見れず、2回目は体力がなくて船の上から見ました(^^;
お昼のハンバーガーは貰ってからトマトやレタス、ケチャップやマスタードをつけてくれるので座ってて大丈夫です。
ハンバーガーもスナックも美味しいし景色も綺麗で最高でした！
船酔いする方が多かったので、心配な方は事前に酔い止めを飲むのを強くオススメします。

The staff and guides were all kind, and they took wonderful photos for us. I was a bit anxious about when to give a tip, but they helped by indicating the right timing. I'm glad I went snorkeling.

スタッフ、ガイドさんたちがみなさん親切でステキな写真も撮っていただけました。どのタイミングでチップを渡すのかわからずソワソワしていたのですが、むこうからタイミングを示していただけたので助かりました。シュノーケリングやってよかったです。

There were dolphins, and I jumped in. They quickly swam away, and I hoped for a chance to try again, but that was it. I didn't even get lunch on the bus ride back, so I was really hungry.

イルカがいて飛び込みました。
すぐに泳ぎ去り、再チャレンジを期待しましたが、おしまいでした。
ランチが帰りのバスまでもらえなくて、腹ペコでした。

The weather was great! The hamburgers were delicious! It's just a shame that I couldn't see many sea turtles.

天気も良くて最高でした！
ハンバーガーも美味しかったです！
ただウミガメがあまりみれなかったのが残念でした

I gathered at the port, which is about a 10-minute drive from the hotel in Kona! There were so few Japanese people that I felt a sense of relief in an environment where Japanese could be spoken.

At first, we had a hard time finding the dolphin spot and kept cruising around the Waikoloa area. Just when I started to worry, the boat stopped, and we entered the water!

When we dove in at the call of "Here they come!", a large number of dolphins swam towards us!!!! The dolphins, which I usually only see in the aquarium, swam towards us leisurely and happily.

They twirled around, jumped, and swam close together, and it was such a precious experience that was incredibly cute!!! Thank you, Lei and Aki, for sharing so many stories and for being such warm-hearted people. I had a wonderful time! Thank you very much!

コナのホテルから車で10分くらいの港に現地集合で行きました！探さないと日本人が見つからない位の少なさの中で、日本語が通じる環境に安心感、、^o^
最初はなかなかイルカのポイントが見つからず、ワイコロア周辺まで船で走り続け、心配になってきたところで船が止まり、海に入ります。！
来ましたよ〜！の声で海に潜ると、大量のイルカたちがこっちに向かってきました！！！！
普段は水族館のプールの中でしか見たことのないイルカたちが、のんびりと、楽しそうにこっちに向かって泳いできました。
くるくると回ったり、飛び跳ねたり、2頭で身体をくっつけて泳いだり、可愛くて可愛くて、とても貴重な体験をしました！！！
レイさん、アキさん、いろんな話を聞かせてもらい、とても柔らかい人柄で楽しく過ごせました。本当にありがとうございました！

I had a great time with my close friends at the beautiful sea, playing with sea turtles and enjoying snorkeling! The barbecue was incredibly delicious, and the staff were so much fun; it was the best! I was so happy to laugh so much on a magical carpet floating on the sea. I want to go again! Hawaii is amazing. This tour was awesome!

仲の良い仲間と綺麗な海、ウミガメと戯れ、シュノーケリングも楽しみました！！
バーベキューもめちゃくちゃ美味しくて、スタッフの皆さんが楽しくて最高でした！！海に浮かぶ魔法のじゅうたん一枚であんなに笑えるとはすごく笑って幸せでした。
また行きたいです！！
ハワイサイコー
このツアーサイコー
でした。

At first I thought this would not be enough time but we were able to spend as much or little time as needed on whatever we wanted to do. The crew were helpful in training us beginners on SUP. I recommend this for advanced or beginners of all ages.

The weather was nice, there weren't too many people, the guide was fun, and we got to see dolphins. The baby spinner dolphins jumped and spun a lot, and I definitely want to participate again.

天気も良く、人数も多過ぎず、ガイドさんも楽しく、盛り上がってイルカが見れました。 ベビースピナーが沢山ジャンプスピンを見せてくれて、また是非参加したいと思いました。

The sea was blue, the mountains were beautiful, and there were many dolphins and sea turtles... It was an incredibly wonderful experience. The staff were all fun people, and I had a great time. Since it was an early morning tour, I had plenty of time in the afternoon, which was very nice. Next, I want to enroll in Manta University on the Big Island.

海が青く、綺麗な山々、たくさんのイルカとウミガメ…
信じられないくらい素敵な体験でした。
スタッフも皆さん楽しい方々で、いい時間を過ごせました。
朝早くからのツアーだったので、昼からもたっぷり時間があり、とても良かったです。
次はハワイ島でマンタ大学に入学したいです。

My clients had nothing but good things to say about this experience!

It was my first time riding in a helicopter, and I was very moved to see the Big Island from above. Since the pilot was not Japanese, it was a bit disappointing that there were many parts of the pilot's explanations that we couldn't understand, as we are not very good at English.

ヘリコプターに乗るのは初めてでしたがハワイ島を上空から観れてとても感動しました。日本人パイロットではなっかたので、英語があまり得意ではない私達はパイロットの説明が理解出来ない部分が多かったのが少し残念でした。

What an awesome experience I got to share with my son for his 18th birthday. The guide's, Dan and his wife were extremely friendly and knowledgeable. Definitely worth the money. I would highly recommend.

Not only did I get to see the full view of the Big Island, but I also felt the vibrant life of the island, as if I were watching a movie. The music added to the atmosphere and drew me in even more. It was wonderful how the pilot made sure that everyone could see well from either side. I would love to experience it again if I have the chance.

BIG islandの全貌がわかるだけでなく、島自体の生きている感じが脈々と伝わってきて、まさに映画を観ているようでした。
演出の音楽も気分を盛り上げ、さらに引き込まれました。
どちらのサイドに座ってもちゃんと見れるようにパイロットの細やかな配慮もステキでした。
機会があればまた体験したいです。

The Sandbar was breathtaking. We took so many beautiful pics to remember our tour. I would definitely go back with people that haven’t been there just to take more pics. You can play volleyball at the Sandbar and practice snorkeling before the deep sea snorkeling afterwards. Staff was the friendliest and made it a memorable experience. Go, you won’t regret going.

Our tour had less light compared to other tours, and people around us mentioned that other places were gathering more plankton. I agree with that. We could only see the mantas from a distance at the neighboring tour, which lacked impact. Additionally, one of the participants was splashing their feet and making noise, which made it seem like the mantas didn't want to come closer. I wished the instructor had better control over the participants.

自分たちのツアーは、他のツアーに比べてライトの量が少なく他のところの方がプランクトンを集めているんじゃないかと周りの人が言ってました。私も同感です。となりのツアーのところに来ているマンタを遠くから見る事しか出来ず、迫力に欠けました。また、同じツアー参加者が、足をバタバタさせて騒ぐので、マンタも近づいてくれなかった様に感じます。インストラクターはもっと参加者をコントロールして欲しかったです。

Beautiful and a lot of fun!! The staff was knowledgeable and very friendly. I loved seeing the sea turtles and feeding the fish on the snorkeling part of the excursion. Sandbar volleyball was fun! I LOVED this excursion!!

This is my third time here. During the snorkeling and swimming around the coral reefs, I was able to see a sea turtle last time, but unfortunately, I couldn't see one this time. However, others said they swam with one. Last time, I brought an underwater camera and when a sea turtle appeared, I panicked and couldn't capture anything. (LOL) This time, I didn't see one.

The hamburger for lunch was delicious, especially while enjoying the view of the horizon and scenery. Yuki, who took care of us, was as lively as ever, which was great. I hope to see her again, but given my age, I might not be able to come back??

Hawaii really is a wonderful place. (It would be even better if the cost of living were lower.)

今回で、３回目になりました。シュノーケル・サンゴ礁周囲遊泳は、前回はウミガメを見れましたが、今回は残念ながら、見ることはできませんでした。でもほかの人は、一緒に泳いだって言ってました。前回に、水中可能カメラを持って潜り、ウミガメが出てきて、焦って取ったので、何も撮れなかったです。（爆）今回は、見れなかった。
ランチのハンバーグも、周りの水平線や景色を見ながら、食べるのも、おいしいです。日本人相手に担当していただいた、ユキさんも、相変わらず元気で、何よりでした。またお会いできるといいのですが、何せ、年が年なんで、いけないかも？？
やっぱりハワイは、よいところですね。（物価が安ければ、なおさら良いですけど）

I didn't know I could get seasick, but these guys came ready with meds and drinks. Super informative and care for your well being. My girlfriend had a blast and she was so excited to see turtles peeking out the waters. Awesome experience and thanks!

I was a bit anxious about participating alone since most people were in pairs, but the crew members were all really nice, and I'm glad I joined. I got to see dolphins and swimming honu (turtles), which really boosted my excitement! I also challenged myself to try stand-up paddleboarding (SUP). It was quite difficult, but I managed to stand up and paddle (^ -^)v.

The cheeseburger on the boat was delicious, and I was really happy to see hula up close (since I’m learning hula). I was on cloud nine (laughs). I want to participate again! (*^o^*)

大体が2人での参加の中、1人参加で不安でしたが、クルーの皆さんがホンマに良い人ばかりで、参加して良かったです。イルカも泳いでるホヌ(亀)も見れてテンションup⤴︎そして、体験してみたかったSUPにも挑戦。結構難しかったですが、何とか立てて漕げました(^-^)v
船上でのチーズバーガーも美味しかったですが、間近でフラを見れて(フラを習ってるので)嬉しかったです。テンションmaxでした(笑)。また参加したいなぁ(*^o^*)

We were the only Japanese people, but the local staff were friendly and made us feel comfortable by saying words they knew in Japanese, like "yoroshiku" and "okonomiyaki"!

日本人は私達だけでしたが、現地スタッフの方が「よろしく」とか「お好み焼き」など、知ってる日本の単語を言いながら、フレンドリーに接してくれ、居心地も良かったです！

I was impressed by the wonderfully beautiful sandbar.
During snorkeling, I was able to see many beautiful fish and it was fun to feed them.
The hamburger for lunch was also very delicious, making it a highly satisfying tour.

素晴らしくきれいなサンドバーで感動しました。
シュノーケリングでは、きれいな魚を沢山見ることができ、餌付けもできて楽しかったです。
昼食のハンバーガーも大変おいしく、満足度の高い良いツアーでした。

There were only my husband and I who were Japanese, and the rest were all foreigners, but the staff supported us with their limited Japanese, which was very reassuring.
However, there was a group that got seasick, so they temporarily returned to the shore.
The catamaran sailing was pleasant and I highly recommend it; the snorkeling equipment was well-stocked, and they checked on us multiple times to see if we were okay.
I would like to use this service again, but I regret not knowing the typical tip amount and think I may have given too little.

日本人は私たち夫婦だけで、他は外国人ばかりでしたがスタッフは片言の日本語でフォローしてくれて、とても安心でした。
ただ船酔いしたグループがいたので、途中一旦もどり下船していました。
カタマランのセーリングは気持ちよくおすすめです、シュノーケル機材も充実していて何度も大丈夫か？と聞いてくれます。
また利用したいです、最後のチップの相場が分からなくて少なかったかなと、後悔しています。

We had the best experience on our day trip to Lanai on a great boat with a fantastic captain and crew. We ended up on the 6:30AM cruise and everyone was super friendly and helpful. I really appreciated that they insist upon the use of reef safe sunscreen (and provide gobs of it for you to use). They also educate you as to why this is so important!
We saw a whale on our way out & a pod of spinner dolphins doing lots of early AM tricks. The beach at Lanai is pristine and you have it almost all to yourself.
The snorkeling was some of the best I've experienced on Maui ~ reefs are healthier than some of the others and there are loads of fish. Only complaint was that it felt a bit rushed, as we took the tour of Lanai first. Honestly I'd skip that next time and spend more time in the water. There was a photographer on the boat who was wonderful ~ she got lots of pics of the wildlife, as well as pics of families/couples on the boat & also snorkeling in the water!
The lunch was very tasty & we enjoyed chilling out with drinks and ice cream on the way back. Thanks much to the Trilogy crew for such a wonderful trip!

The weather was rainy and quite cold, but I was very excited to finally see a sea turtle. I received a ticket to download photos, but I thought $10 for each photo download was too expensive.

天気は雨が降ったり、気温もかなり寒かったですが、念願のウミガメが見れてとても感激しました。写真をダウンロードできるチケットを頂きましたが、写真のダウンロードが１枚$10は高すぎるなと思いました泣

The weather was wonderful, and I was very moved to see a sandbar that was even more beautiful than I had imagined! The water depth in the shallow areas was only up to my ankles, so it was truly like the sandbars I’ve seen on TV! The staff were lively and enthusiastic, which made me and everyone else laugh throughout the experience, leaving a lasting impression.

I recommend taking a good look with your own eyes, as it’s so beautiful that it’s hard to capture in photos!

Since it’s a plan for a large group (about 20 to 30 people), it’s understandable that those who are not confident in snorkeling or are first-timers may not receive personal guidance at a leisurely pace. We had some experience, so we were able to snorkel without any issues, but since everyone swims freely, there was some variation in whether or not people got to see sea turtles. (On this day, it seemed that about half of the participants were able to see them.) Even if you don’t see sea turtles, you can still enjoy seeing other beautiful fish, so I think it’s definitely enjoyable.

For those who really want to snorkel but lack confidence, I recommend looking into different plans.

お天気にも恵まれ、想像以上に綺麗なサンドバーが見られたのでとても感動しました！
浅い所での水深はくるぶし上くらいまでしかなかったので、まさにテレビで見たようなサンドバーでした！
スタッフの方も元気に盛り上げて下さるので、彼を含め私も終始笑っていた事が印象的に残っています。
写真ではなかなかうまく写りきらない程綺麗だと思うのでしっかり目に焼き付ける事をお勧めします！

人数が多いプランなので仕方ないのですが(2〜30人くらい？)シュノーケリングに自信が無い方や初めての方はなかなかゆっくりと個人的指導は受けられないかと思います。
私たちは経験があったので難なくシュノーケリングはできましたが、全員がそれぞれ自由にシュノーケリングで泳ぐのでウミガメが見られるかどうかにばらつきはありました。
(この日は半数くらいの方は見られたようです。)
ウミガメが見られなくても他の魚等は綺麗に見られるので十分楽しめるとは思います(^^)

シュノーケリングは絶対にしたいけど自信がない方は、違うプラン等を見てみる事をお勧めします。

The crew was really nice, the 2 spots were amazing ! 4 stars only because unfortunately we didn’t see any turtle, but the overall experience is still outstanding.

Wonderful experience ! Me and my friend will never forget it !
