All Reviews for Snorkeling Cruises & Tours

I was told I hadn't seen dolphins for a week and was about to give up, but in the end, I got to see many dolphins (；A；)

If I hadn't seen many, the staff kindly let me see them up close (；A；)

Thank you so much❤

一週間イルカ見てないと言われて
諦めてたけど
最後にたくさんのイルカ先生が(；A；)

あまり見れなかったら
スタッフさんの好意で
前で見せてもらえて(；A；)

本当にありがとうございました❤

It was my first snorkeling experience. I was a bit anxious, but since it was a small group, I felt well taken care of and truly enjoyed it! The instructor was kind and knowledgeable, and I definitely want to go again!

はじめてのシュノーケル体験でした。
不安でしたが少人数制という事もあり、
常に気にかけてくださって本当に楽しめました！
インストラクターの方も優しくて知識も豊富で
また行きたいと思いました！

The guide was cheerful and friendly, and she took beautiful photos for us. The ocean was stunning, making it an unforgettable experience! The hamburger we had for lunch by the sea was exceptional!! We lost track of time while snorkeling and playing with the fish; it was truly the best tour! Thank you very much!

ガイドのお姉さんが明るく気さくな方で、綺麗に撮影をしてくださいました。海はもちろんのこと綺麗で生涯忘れる事のない体験になりました！海で食べる昼食のハンバーガーは格別！！シュノーケリングも時間を忘れて魚たちと戯れることができ、本当に最高なツアーでした！ありがとうございました！

I was glad to see more sea turtles than I expected. I had seen them on land many times, but I don't think I've seen them swimming very often. There were quite a few around the boat and they were close by.

I also went snorkeling in the coral sea, but I heard that it had been raining a few days prior, so the visibility wasn't great. I'll save that for next time as something to look forward to.

It was a recommended tour that allowed me to feel the essence of Hawaii.

ウミガメが思っていたより多く見られ良かったです。陸にいるのは何度も見ていましたが泳いでいるのはあまり見られないと思います。
船の回りにも結構いて近かったです。
サンゴの海でシュノーケリングもしましたが数日前まで雨が降っていたとの話で透明度はイマイチでしたがまた次回のお楽しみとして取っておきます。
ハワイらしさを感じられるおすすめのツアーでした。

The trip to the sandbar and the reef exploration were great, the crew was very helpful and the overall experience was amazing.

We were blessed with beautiful weather and had the best experience. The staff's performance and guidance were impeccable, allowing us to spend a memorable day. The lunch on board was also exceptional. I will participate again.

いい天気に恵まれ、最高の体験ができました。スタッフの演出、リードも申し分がなく心に残る一日を過ごすことができました。船上でのランチもまた格別です。また、参加します。

A shallow sandy beach is located a little away from the coast, where we played beach volleyball. It had been a while since I played volleyball, and I struggled a bit with my feet getting caught in the water. But falling dramatically was a fun scene. The view from there included locations filmed in Jurassic Park, with emerald green, beautiful sky blue, ocean blue, and white clouds floating above, making it look like a place where angels had descended. The people I went with also naturally became friends, and I was happy with the hamburgers and hot cocoa we had for lunch.

海岸から離れて、少ししたところに水深浅の砂浜があり、ビーチバレーをしました。久しぶりのバレーボールでしたが、水に足をとられて四苦八苦。でも大げさなこけかたも楽しい一シーンですね。そこから見える景色は、ジュラシックパークで撮影された場所も眺められて、エメラルドグリーンと、綺麗なスカイブルー、オーシャンブルーと白い雲が浮かんでいて、本当に天使が舞い降りてきた場所のように見えました。一緒に行った方々も自然に仲良くなれて、昼食のハンバーガーや、ホットココアも嬉しかったです。

We had a great time. Our guides were wonderful. The turtles are amazing I highly recommend this tour

I was disappointed that I couldn't see the dolphins, but thanks to all the staff, I had a great time! I want to participate again the next time I go to Hawaii.

イルカを見えなくて残念でしたけどスタッフ皆様のおかげですごく楽しかった！また今度ハワイに行ったらもう一回参加したい。

I had an unexpected event and couldn't make it on time, but I was able to participate thanks to the prompt and courteous response. The sandbar was beautiful and came up to my waist. When I asked the staff to take photos, they captured stunning shots from various angles. Thank you very much! I look forward to participating again!

ハプニングが起き集合時間に間に合わなくなってしまったのですが、すぐに丁寧にご対応いただき参加することができました。
サンドバーは腰下までありとっても綺麗でした。スタッフの方に写真を頼むと、様々な角度から映える写真を撮ってくださりました。本当にありがとうございました。また参加させていただきます！

I participated during Golden Week, and although it was a bit cold at times, the sea was beautiful with plenty of fish! After diving, it might be a good idea to take measures to stay warm on the boat.

ＧＷに参加したので、ちょっと寒い時もありましたが、海の中は魚もたくさんいて奇麗でした！潜った後に、船で冷えないように対策をしたほうが良いかもしれません。

You never get tired of seeing sandbar and Galapagos sharks in their natural environment. Third time out with OneOcean and second with safety diver Kayleigh. We even were treated to surfacing humpbacks on the way out! Look forward to my fourth dive!

This is unavoidable.
The staff was friendly and there was nothing unpleasant, but with the bad weather, it felt cold and like a struggle... There weren't many fish, but I was able to enjoy the turtles.
The visibility was also lacking. Those who are used to snorkeling might find it unsatisfactory.
The food wasn't delicious either.
I probably won't visit again.

こればかりは仕方ない。
スタッフはフレンドリーで不快はなかったですが、天気が悪いと、寒くて修行の様。。。。魚も余りいないですが、亀は十分堪能できました。
透明度も今ひとつ。シュノーケルに慣れた人は物足りないです
食事も美味しくはない。
再訪は無いかな

An absolutely fantastic tour with no complaints! The hospitality from the captain and crew was top-notch!!! The bone-in short ribs for lunch on board were truly delicious (⌒▽⌒) I was happy to tip from the heart♡

文句なしのとっても楽しいツアー！
キャプテンやクルーの方のホスピタリティも最高！！！船上ランチの骨つきカルビも本当に美味しかったです(⌒▽⌒)
チップも心から払えました♡

This was one for the books for my wife, and I. You need to know how to swim and snorkel. The Manta Rays were swimming all around us eating the plankton, it was very active during the 45 mins. One went inverted and swam about 1" from our chests. We recorded the footage with a GoPro! This is a bucket list adventure. I would recommend this to anyone!

I checked the Tide Chart website to find the day with the lowest tide during my stay in Hawaii. It was supposed to be 0.2ft, but by the time we arrived at the sandbar, the shallow area was completely above the water surface, turning into a sandy beach! The sandbar is also said to be a power spot, so I took plenty of deep breaths.

I snorkeled with the honu, played with a stand-up paddleboard, and enjoyed a delicious lunch. I had a fantastic three hours from departure to return. The staff were full of spirit, and even though I participated alone, I had a great time.

- I recommend checking the tide levels before making a reservation if you want to fully enjoy the sandbar.
- If you ask, they will take plenty of photos with your own camera.
- The weather was really nice this time, and even in March, a wetsuit wasn't necessary.
- It looked quite painful for those walking barefoot on the sandbar, so reef shoes are a must-have item.

If you haven't experienced this yet, I definitely encourage you to participate!!!

ハワイ滞在中に一番潮位が下がる日をTide Chartのサイトで調べて行きました。
予定では0.2ftでしたが、サンドバーに着いた頃には浅瀬が完全に海面から顔を出して砂浜になりました♪
サンドバーはパワースポットでもあるとのことで、いっぱい深呼吸してきました。
サンドバーの主でもあるホヌとシュノーケリングしたり、SUPで遊んだり、美味しいランチを頂いたり、出港から帰港までの3時間、大満喫できました。
スタッフの皆さんはサービス精神に溢れていて、一人で参加しましたがとても楽しく過ごせました。

・サンドバーを満喫したい方は、潮位を調べてから予約されることをお勧めいたします。
・自分のカメラでもお願いすればいっぱい写真を撮ってくれます。
・今回はお天気もとても良くて、3月でもウェットスーツは不要でした。
・素足でサンドバーの上を歩いている人はかなり痛そうでしたので、リーフシューズはマストアイテムです。

未体験の方は、ぜひ参加していただきたいです！！！

(I fully understand that we are dealing with wild animals.)
Unfortunately, it seemed like the dolphins were on strike that day, as we cruised for over two hours without encountering a single one.
The spotted dolphin we finally managed to find swam by so quickly that it was gone in an instant.
Perhaps because we spent so much time searching for dolphins, our snorkeling with Professor Honu lasted only about 20 minutes.
I went to the office later to pick up my graduation souvenir, but since some people might be leaving the next day, it would be appreciated if it could be given to participants at that time.
The spam rice ball was delicious.

（野生動物が相手だということは重々承知しています。）
この日はあいにくイルカ先生のストライキのようで、2時間以上クルージングしたと思いますが1頭も出会えませんでした。
やっとのことで探せたマダライルカは、泳ぐスピードが速すぎて一瞬で過ぎ去りました。
ドルフィン探しに時間を費やしたためか、ホヌ教授とのシュノーケリングは20分程度でした。
後日オフィスに卒業記念品を受け取りに行きましたが、翌日が帰国日という人もいると思いますので、参加した時に頂ける方がありがたいです。
スパムおむすびは美味しかったです。

This was my second time in Hawaii, and I definitely wanted to go snorkeling this time, so I signed up! Swimming in the ocean in Hawaii felt amazing. It's incomparable to the seas in Japan! I want to go every year! ★

2回目のハワイで次は絶対シュノーケルがしたくて申し込みました！！
ハワイの海で泳ぐのはとても気持ちよかったです。日本の海とは比べ物にならないです！毎年行きたいです★

Ocean was beyond amazing! This was like a dream come true. Ocean taught us about sharks and their environment and behaviors. She taught us ocean conservation and shark conservation. The tides we a bit tough so highly advise being mentally prepared and physically prepared. Overall amazing experience. I can’t wait for my next trip to Oahu and do this again. The best experience ever. I hold such a special place in my heart for the ocean and seeing how special of a place it holds to ocean is heartwarming and amazing. This experience brings such joy to my soul. Amazing.

Cheiko, who came to pick us up at the hotel, was very cheerful and pleasant, which made us feel very reassured at that point.

Once we arrived at Hanauma Bay, they kindly helped us with the rental of fins and wetsuits, how to change, and the use of masks. It took me a little time to get used to breathing through my mouth, but with Dan leading the way and Cheiko at the back, I felt very safe. They also adjusted the snorkeling route based on the day's bay conditions, prioritizing safety, which I appreciated.

Although we couldn't see any sea turtles due to the low tide, we were able to see many beautiful tropical fish, which was truly moving. Dan took photos of both people and fish with a GoPro and uploaded them to Facebook two days later, so participants didn't need to bring their own cameras or smartphones.

The sea and the fish were very beautiful, and we had a truly wonderful time. I also appreciated the water and snack service after the tour, as well as the transportation back to our accommodation.

If I have the chance to go to Hawaii again, I would love to join their tour again. Thank you very much, Cheiko and Dan!

宿泊先のホテルに迎え来てくださったチエコさんがとても明るくて感じのいい方で、この時点でとても安心できました。
ハナウマ湾に着いてからは、フィンやウエットスーツの貸し出し、着替え方、マスクの着用などもとても親切にしてくださいました。
口呼吸に慣れるまでに少し時間がかかりましたが、ダンさんが先頭、最後尾をチエコさんで守ってくださるので、とても安心でした。その日の湾のコンディションで臨機応変にシュノーケリングルートを変えるようで、安全第一に判断してくださるのもありがたかったです。
引き潮で、ウミガメは見られませんでしたが、きれいな熱帯魚をたくさん見ることができ、感動しました。ダンさんがGoProで人も魚も撮影をしてくださって、翌々日にFacebookでアップしてくださったので、参加者は無理にカメラやスマホを持ち込まなくても大丈夫です。
海も魚もとてもきれいで、本当に素敵な時間を過ごすことができました。
終わってからのお水・スナックサービス、宿泊先までの送りサービスもありがたかったです。
またハワイに行くことがあったら、またお二人のツアーに参加したいです。チエコさん、ダンさん、どうもありがとうございました！

We really enjoyed our snorkeling out to turtle canyon. The crew was friendly, entertaining, and knew what they were talking about. As someone that lives in Waikiki, I will definitely recommend the Manu Kai to friends and family that visit! Thanks!!

I was able to see manta rays and sea turtles near the boat. The weather was clear over the ocean, and the contrast between the white sandbar and the blue sea was impressive.

マンタやウミガメが船の近くに現れ見ることができました。
海の上は晴天でサンドバーの白と海の青のコントラストが
印象的でした。

I encountered such a large pod of dolphins for the first time!
There were so many dolphins!
There were also sea turtles hiding among the rocks.
I was thrilled to even see a whale.
The crew, including Kata, were all having fun while working, which was fantastic.
Actually, I did experience some seasickness, which made things tough, and if it weren't for that, I could have enjoyed lunch~ (゜ロ゜;
But I was able to enjoy it properly later.
It was really great.

初めてあんな大群のイルカさんに出会えました❗
それにしても凄い数のイルカ！
岩場に隠れていたけど海亀もいました。
更に鯨にも会え感激。
クルーの嘉多も皆さん楽しくお仕事しておられ最高でした。
実は船酔いして大変な部分もあり、それがなければランチも食べれたのに～(゜ロ゜;
でも後でちゃんとおいしく頂きました。
ホントに良かったです。

This was super fun and exactly what I needed. The boat tour captain was funny, the crew were super friendly and as a bonus a turtle swam right up next to me. One of the crew brought up an urchin and I got to hold it. This was really great, I highly recommend it.

On the way there, we encountered a whale, so it seems we didn't look for dolphins on the way back. The meeting point was supposed to be near the boat, but in reality, it was at a bench near the port's restroom, and I wouldn't have known where to go if someone from the same tour hadn't called out to me. The snorkeling was fun, and the staff were kind. They provided detailed explanations about the history and geography.

行きにクジラと遭遇したので帰りはイルカを探さなかったようです。
待ち合わせ場所が船の近くとなっていましたが実際は港のトイレの近くのベンチで同じツアーの人に声をかけてもらえなければ分からないところでした。
シュノーケルは楽しくスタッフの方たちも親切でした。歴史や地形について詳しく説明をしてくれました。

I participated alone at the recommendation of a friend, and everyone warmly welcomed me. I was anxious about meeting the dolphins, but I encountered a large group and was able to swim with them, which turned out to be a truly wonderful experience! I definitely want to come back again during summer vacation!

友人に勧められてひとりで参加しましたが、皆さまにあたたかく迎えて頂きました。イルカに会えるか不安でしたが、大群に遭遇して一緒に泳ぐことができてほんとに素晴らしい体験になりました！夏休みもまた是非来たいです♪

Since it was my first time participating, I joined with excitement about how it would be. It was winter in Hawaii, so the wind was cold and chilly. When we spotted dolphins from the boat, everyone jumped in at once, pointing out where to look, and we were able to see many dolphins. I saw dolphins in the distance, but my family seemed to have dolphins swimming right underneath them. After that, we also encountered sea turtles. I was happy to feel the staff's strong desire to ensure we met the dolphins. Additionally, they kept the atmosphere lively on the boat, which is a great memory. Next time, I want to go during a warmer season.

初めての参加だったのでどんな風に見るのかワクワクしながら参加しました。
ハワイの冬という時期だったので風が冷たく寒かったーー。
船上でイルカを見つけると皆さん一斉に飛込み、見る方向を教えてくれ、たくさんのイルカを見ることができました。
私は遠くにイルカを見ましたが家族は真下をイルカが通ったようです。
そのあとはウミガメにも遭遇しました。
スタッフの方が絶対にイルカに会わせてあげようという気持ちが伝わってきて嬉しく思いました。また、船上で飽きないように盛り上げてくれたのもいい思い出です。今度は暖かい時期に行きたいな。

It was very beautiful. I lacked confidence in my swimming, so I gave up on snorkeling. However, there were rentals for boats and floaties, so even without snorkeling, I was able to enjoy myself plenty.

とても綺麗でした。シュノーケリングは、泳ぎに自信が無く、断念しました。でもボートや浮輪などの貸し出しもあり、シュノーケリングが出来なくても充分楽しめました。

This was my second visit after a year, participating with three adults and one child (3 years old). Last year, the sandbar had water up to my knees, but this year it was only ankle-deep, which was amazing. We were able to see turtles during the sandbar, turtle watching, and snorkeling, and both adults and children were very excited. During snorkeling, we swam with the turtles for about an hour, creating the best memories. I would like to use this company again when I go to Hawaii.

1年ぶり2度目のリベンジで大人3名、子供1名（3歳）での参加でした。昨年は膝丈まで水面があったサンドバーですが今年はくるぶし程の深さで感動です。またサンドバー・カメウォッチング・シュノーケリング全てでカメを見れて大人も子供も大興奮です。シュノーケリングでは約1時間カメと一緒に遊泳出来、最高の思い出となりました。またハワイに行く時はこちらの会社でお願いしたいと思います。

Our captain and hosts were of the utmost professionalism. We rode out to the reef and saw our first group of turtles right away. The water was warm and full of fish, turtles and living reef. The group stayed together and it felt safe and fun. I would highly recommend this trip.
