All Reviews for Snorkeling Cruises & Tours

I visited Kailua, Lanikai Beach, and Kailua Town! Renting a bike costs an additional $10, but I think it's worth it to get around in a limited amount of time! The Japanese staff kindly shared information about the town, suggesting that takeout from Boots & Kimo's is better and telling me about shops that only locals know, which helped me navigate efficiently. Also, I was happy that lunch was included ❤︎ The recommended pizza was really delicious! If I have the chance to go again, I would definitely participate once more!

カイルア、ラニカイビーチ、カイルアタウンを周りました！
自転車はプラス$10かかりますが借りた方が限られた時間の中で周ることができると思います！日本人のスタッフの方が丁寧に町のことを教えてくれ、ブーツアンドキモズはテイクアウトの方がいいよとかこんなお店あるよとか現地の人しか知らない知識をきけて順序よく周れました
あと、ランチ付きは嬉しい❤︎オススメのピザはめっちゃ美味しかったです！
行く機会があればまた参加しようと思います！

We had so much fun! It was our first time and we cant wait to go back! Our instructor was so nice and he took his time and showed us everything. We seen lots of fish and a couple turtles

I participated on a sunny day in February. The staff were cheerful and bright, making it a fun experience. We were able to see wild dolphins. However, we didn't see as many as we had hoped from the photos, and the time we spent watching them was brief. This can depend on the weather and luck. On the day we participated, it was quite windy and the waves were high, which made it cold and required some stamina. Some participants experienced seasickness.

They put a lot of effort into searching for dolphins. It took a while to find them, and we ran out of time for snorkeling, but we did see whales as well.

Since our belongings got wet from the high waves, I recommend protecting anything you don't want to get wet with sturdy plastic. Also, due to the dolphin search and road congestion, the return time can be a bit delayed, so it's better not to schedule anything too tight after the tour.

2月の晴れた日に参加しました。スタッフのみなさんは笑顔で明るく楽しかったです。野生のイルカが見られました。写真で期待していたほどは見られず、見た時間は少しでした。これについては天候や運もあります。参加した日は風が強く、波も高かったので寒くて体力もいりました。参加者の中には船酔いする人もいました。
イルカ探しを一生懸命してくれます。イルカ探しに時間がかかり、時間切れでシュノーケリングができなくなりましたが、クジラも見られました。
高波で荷物が濡れたので、濡らしたくないものはしっかりビニールで防ぐことを勧めます。
イルカ探しや道路混雑で帰りの時間が少し遅くなることもあるので、ツアー後の予定をギリギリに入れない方が良いです。

The staff were friendly, and the service on board was attentive. On the way to Lanai Island, we encountered a pod of wild dolphins, and it was wonderful to stop the boat and take our time to watch them. Once we arrived at Lanai Island, we were able to see many colorful fish while snorkeling! Those who wished could participate in a tour of Lanai Island, and I joined. The local female guide was very polite and shared many stories unique to the area. On the return trip, we enjoyed drinks while watching the sunset, making for a truly lovely time. I would definitely like to go again!

フレンドリーなスタッフの皆さんで、船内でのサービスも行き届いていました。ラナイ島に到着する途中、野生のイルカの群れにも遭遇し、船をとめて、ゆっくり眺める時間も素晴らしかったです。ラナイ島に到着してのシュノーケリングでは、色とりどりの魚をたくさん見ることができました！
希望する人は、ラナイ島内の観光に参加することができ、参加しました。ガイドの現地の女性もとても丁寧に、地元の方ならではのお話をたくさん聞かせてくださいました。
帰りの船内も、夕暮れを見ながらお酒をいただき、とても素敵な時間となりました。またぜひ、行きたいです！

It was so lucky to sit next to the pilot! The best view and nice weather. Kind and well-experienced pilot. It was expensive but worth trying.

Just the recording of the flight for US$40 was too high. And the conflict with the USB being ready and the bus schedule was too tight.

NB: Check my pick-up time on the voucher!!! It was actually the flight schedule. I was about to miss the biggest event of the trip!!!

That was your Veltra mistake.

Absolutely beautiful! Omg, I can't even describe this beauty. Breathtaking & amazing. Being able to enjoy this creation of nature was beyond beautiful. My boyfriend enjoyed it too but I was mesmerized. Worth every penny of our tour.
We did Captain Bob's Kaneohe Bay Sandbar Snorkel Adventure & BBQ Lunch Boat Tour & it was excellent.
The crew was was just amazing. They were super nice, sweet, courteous.
Loved everything about this tour.

We had the best adventure. After seeing so many other cruises going out looking crowded and rushed we were a bit concerned.
Turned up at 8.30, check in process easy and efficient =)
Great weather, even better staff.
And best of all plenty of space for all on the catamaran. We were blessed with a small group.
Short cruise out and we were already spotting turtles.
All our equipment checked, help given if needed and off we went. 2 hours of watching dozens of green sea turtles in their natural environment. AMAZING!!
having Zac in the water with his trusty surf board gave everyone a great sense of ease.
On our tour was a gentleman who didn't feel to sure in the water but the boys went out of their way to get him an extra floatation buoy and stayed close til he felt more comfortable.
I would recommend Ruski (?) and Zac and the Mana Kai tour to anyone who asked.

I was really able to swim with dolphins. The experience was incredibly moving! Looking back now, I'm glad I was able to make a reservation!

Although I had no snorkeling experience and went out into the ocean, thanks to the support and advice from the swim instructor, I was ultimately able to see the dolphins up close, and I'm really glad I went!

The captain loves the ocean, dolphins, and whales more than anything, and I realized that because of that love, there is so much he can understand and teach us. His love for the animals was overflowing, and that's why we were able to have such an amazing experience. He also assessed the spots from a professional perspective, making for a very satisfying time.

I would love to participate again once I can snorkel! Thank you very much!!!

本当にイルカと泳げました。感動はかなり大きかったです！
今思えば予約がとれてよかった！と思っております。
シュノーケリング未経験で沖に出てしまった私ですが、スイムインストラクターの方のサポートやアドバイスで最終的にはイルカを間近で見ることができて本当に行ってよかった！です。
船長さんが何よりも海、イルカ、クジラなどのことが大好きで、大好きだからこそわかること、教えられることがたくさんあるんだなと思います。動物たちへの愛が溢れていて、だからこそ私たちの体験が得られたんだなと思います。ポイントもプロの目線で見極めてくれてかなり満足な時間でした。
またシュノーケルできるようになって参加したいものです！ありがとうございました！！！

We got to spend a lot of time watching the Spinner Dolphins swim under and around us as we were in the water. Captain Nick and Trevor were great guides!

The captain and the swim guide were both Japanese with blue eyes, and their love for the sea radiated from them.

Perhaps we were lucky with the timing, as we were fortunate enough to see whales, which got everyone on board very excited.

The dolphins we aimed to see were not at an easily accessible spot, but they knew the locations where we could feel closer to them. If I have the chance to come back to the Big Island, I would love to participate again.

船長、スイムガイド共に青い目をした日本人で、海が好きな感じが
全身からあふれ出ていました。

参加したタイミングが良かったのかクジラも運良く見ることができ、
船内一同大盛り上がりでした。

目当てのイルカも安易に見られるポイントではなく、より近くに感じられる
ポイントを熟知しており、次回ハワイ島に来る機会があったら、また参加
させてもらいたいと思います。

I participated in mid-February. What I was really glad to have were the wetsuit, a large plastic bag for my belongings, and an underwater camera.

It was a cool day, and I was worried about the cold, so I rented a wetsuit for $10. Sitting in the shade of the boat was really cold, so it was definitely the right decision to rent it. My belongings were stored under the seat, but of course, waves came into the boat. Since clothes and bags got wet, it was also a good idea to bring a large plastic bag. I bought an underwater camera for this trip, and I was really satisfied that I could capture great photos and videos of the dolphins!

The Japanese guide was adorable, and the local crew members were all very friendly, making it a really fun tour! At first, we didn't encounter any dolphins and only saw whales, but in the end, we came across a pod of dolphins and were able to swim with them! I definitely want to participate again next time.

2月中旬の参加です。あってよかったなと思ったのは、ウェットスーツと、荷物を入れる大きなビニール袋と、水中カメラでした。

その日は涼しく、寒さが心配のためウェットスーツを$10で借りました。船の日陰のとこに座っていたら、ほんとに寒くて借りて正解でした。また荷物は座席の下に入れますが、もちろん船に波が入ってきます。洋服とかバッグとか濡れるので、大きなビニール袋も持って行って正解でした。またこの旅行のために水中カメラを購入しましたが、バッチリとイルカの姿を写真でも動画でも撮れたのが自分的には満足でした！

日本人のガイドさんは可愛い方で、また乗組員の現地の方もノリがいい方々ばかりで、ほんとに楽しいツアーでした！
最初はなかなかイルカに出会えず、クジラばかり目撃してましたが、最後にはイルカの群れに出会い、一緒に泳げました！
またぜひ、次回も参加したいです。

This year, it seems there were unusually strong winds, and it was very cold (≧∀≦). I thought the sandbar would be shallower, but of course, the time of day matters, and I should have done proper research and made a reservation. The staff were very fun and wonderful people!

今年は例年になく？強風が吹いていたらしく、とても寒かったです(≧∀≦)
サンドバーではもっと浅瀬になるのかと思っていましたが、当然時間帯もあるわけで、ちゃんとリサーチして予約するべきでした。
スタッフはとても楽しい素敵な方達でした！

I was worried because the day before was a cold, rainy day during the rainy season, but on the day of the trip, it was clear skies! The bus driver who picked us up was friendly, which lifted our spirits. We took off our beach sandals and boarded the boat barefoot. My son was worried about seasickness, but we arrived at the sandbar before he could feel sick (laughs). Even in shallow areas, the water was only up to our knees, and there was no beach, but the sunlit sea sparkled beautifully. We were able to see turtles while snorkeling as well.

After that, we had a great time playing with kayaks and stand-up paddleboards. Renting a kayak at the hotel costs several thousand yen, so I think this was a good deal.

I actually didn't have high expectations for the lunch buffet, but it was incredibly delicious. The bone-in short ribs and chicken were tender, and putting chili beans on rice was exquisite. There were also desserts and sweets, and whenever they ran low, they quickly refilled them, so I ended up going back for seconds!

During the meal, pufferfish and turtles came around the boat, and we were able to take pictures with them. The guides on the boat were very friendly and attentive, making the experience enjoyable.

On the way back, the bus had fluffy towels on the seats, making for a comfortable return. Thank you very much!

雨季の参加で、前日が寒い雨の日だったので、心配していたのですが、当日は快晴！
お迎えのバスの運転手さんも感じよく気分は上々。
ビーチサンダルを脱いで裸足で乗船。息子が船酔いを心配していたのですが酔う前に（笑）サンドバーに到着。浅い所でも膝下くらいで砂浜は出ていなかったのですが、陽が当たる海はキラキラしてとても綺麗でした。シュノーケルでもバッチリ亀を見ることができました。
そのあとも、カヤックやサップで遊んだり楽しい時間を過ごしました。ホテルでカヤックを借りるだけでも何千円もするので、お得だと思います。
実はあまり期待していなかったランチバイキングだったのですが、とーっても美味しかった。骨つきカルビも鶏肉も柔らかくて、ご飯にチリビーンズをかけて食べるのは絶品でした。デザートもスイーツもあり、少なくなるとすぐに足してくれてお代わりして食べてしまいました！
食事の時にも船の周りにふぐ？や亀がやってきて、一緒に写真も撮れました。
船のガイドのお姉さん達もとてもフレンドリーでとても気遣いがすばらしくあたのしかったです。
帰りのバスもシートにふかふかのタオルを敷いてあり、心地よく帰ることができました。
ありがとうございました！

First, we had some free time at the sandbar. We took pictures together, and the staff took photos with a GoPro. It seems we can get those photos from the website about a week later. After that, we went snorkeling to see fish and sea turtles. However, the water was quite murky, so there weren't many fish, and the turtles were only visible from a distance.

Afterward, we had lunch. There was meat, fruit, and snacks, along with warm tomato soup and coffee to help us warm up after being in the cold sea.

Then we had more free time, where we played with the paddleboards, floats, and beach volleyball. At the end, a turtle came close to the shallow water near the boat, allowing us to see it up close. It was a lot of fun!

まずはサンドバーで自由に過ごす時間がありました。みんなで写真を撮ったり、スタッフの方がゴープロで撮影してくれました。1週間後くらいにホームページからその写真ももらえるらしいです。そのあとは、シュノーケルで魚やウミガメを見ました。ただ、海が結構濁っていて、魚も少なく、ウミガメもぼんやり見えるくらいでした。
そのあとは昼食です。肉やフルーツ、お菓子もあって海で冷えた体にあったまるトマトスープやコーヒーなどもありました。
そのあとはまた自由時間で、ザップやうきわ、ビーチバレーをして遊びました。最後は船の近くの浅瀬までカメが寄ってきてくれて触れるような距離で見ることができました。とても楽しかったです！

I was able to see sea turtles! Since it was the rainy season, the visibility was a bit unclear, but the weather was nice, the sandbar was very beautiful, and I saw a lot of fish! It became a great memory, and I'm glad I participated! The shuttle bus was cold, so a jacket is a must! There weren't many places to put luggage or eat on the boat since it was crowded. Those who were able to put their bags on the bench first had to eat standing up. Isn’t there too many people on one tour...? The staff were all cheerful and very nice!

海ガメが見れました！
雨季とゆうこともあり透明度は微妙でしたが、良い天気で サンドバーもとても綺麗で魚もたくさん見れました！良い思い出になり参加してよかったです！送迎は大型バス寒いです。
上着必須！船には人がたくさん乗るので荷物を置くところ、ご飯を食べる所があまりないです。最初にベンチに荷物を置けた人以外ご飯も立ったままでした。１回のツアーに人を乗せすぎでは…？ スタッフの方は皆さん明るく良い方ばかりでした！

The weather was wonderful, and I was able to see a pod of dolphins! I also saw turtles and colorful fish, making it an amazing experience. Personally, I think I saw more beautiful fish than in Australia's Great Barrier Reef. My solo trip, which took over a month traveling through Asia, Europe, Eastern Europe, and Hawaii, ended in Hawaii, and it became a memorable experience. The president of the company that organized this optional tour was also a very nice person, and our conversation was enjoyable. If I have the chance to go to Hawaii again, I would love to participate again.

天気にも恵まれ、イルカの群にも会うことができました！
亀やカラフルな魚も見れ、最高な体験となりました。
個人的には、オーストラリアのグレートバリアリーフよりも綺麗な魚たちが見れたと思います。
1ヶ月以上をかけてアジア・欧州・東欧・ハワイを巡る1人旅の最終地がハワイでしたが、その中でも思い出深い経験となりました。
参加されていた、このオプショナルツアーの会社の社長さんもとても素敵な方で、話しも楽しく、またハワイに行くことがあったら参加したいです。

I was able to see dolphins, turtles, and even whales in the distance. However, it was disappointing that towards the end of snorkeling, while I was in the restroom, my gear was put away, and I wanted to swim a bit longer.

イルカや亀、遠くでしたがクジラも見れました。ただシュノーケリングの最後の方でトイレに入っていたら、道具が片されてしまいもう少し泳ぎたかったのが残念でした。

I participated in the Dolphin University about five years ago and had such a great time that this time I decided to join Dolphin Junior High. Last time, I joined in August, so it wasn't too cold, but this time, since I participated in February, it was chilly in Hawaii during the mornings and evenings, and honestly, the water was quite cold.

Since we spent a long time on the boat, with the wind blowing, I strongly recommend dressing warmly. Last time, I was able to see dolphins, but only from a distance, and there were few of them, so we moved by boat and dove about three times just to catch a glimpse of them. This time, I was lucky enough to swim with the dolphins for a long time after just one dive.

We were very close to them, and thanks to the dolphins coming back multiple times, we were able to see them continuously. It was truly moving to swim with the dolphins at a distance where I felt I could reach out and touch them. The weather was also great, and the water was so clear that I was able to see many fish and baby sea turtles while snorkeling.

The photographer Mike was great at creating a fun atmosphere and took lots of pictures while making everyone laugh. I realized that the vibe of the tour and how well the participants are engaged is really important. There were about 800 photos in total, and it would cost around $50 for the data, but since there were about 30-40 tour guests, the photos with us in them were just a small part, and since everyone was wearing wetsuits and goggles, it was hard to tell who was who (laughs).

Of course, there were many beautiful underwater photos, but I thought $50 was a bit steep, so I decided not to purchase them. I think if the price were a bit more reasonable, more participants would buy them. Also, I thought last time that the cleanliness of the portable toilets at the port was unbearable... It takes about one to one and a half hours to return to Waikiki after that, so we have no choice but to use the port facilities. However, for Japanese people, that toilet is quite a painful experience...

It would be helpful if we could at least be driven to a nearby restroom. This is a tour I definitely want to participate in again when I go to Hawaii next time, so I hope you will consider it. The person who joined me had never been to Hawaii before, and when I asked him what his best memory from this trip was, he immediately replied, "Dolphin Junior High!!!" (laughs) It truly became a wonderful memory. Thank you very much.

イルカ大学に5年ほど前に参加して、とても楽しかったので今回はイルカ中学に参加することにしました。
前回は8月に参加したため、そこまで寒くはなかったですが、今回は2月参加のため朝晩は冷えるハワイで、増してや海の中は正直かなり寒かったです。
船に乗って長時間移動するので、風も吹きますし、暖かい格好で行くことを強くオススメします。
前回もイルカを見ることができたのですが、遠目でしかみれなかったり、イルカの数も少なかったので3回ほど船で移動してダイブして、なんとかイルカを見れた！という感じでした。
今回はついていたのか、1回のダイブだけでずーーーっとイルカ達と泳ぐことが出来ました。
距離もとても近かったですし、イルカ達が何度も戻ってきてくれたおかげでひっきりなしに会えました。
手を伸ばせば届きそうな距離でイルカ達と泳げて本当に感動しました。
天気もとても良く、海底まで透き通って見えていたのでシュノーケリングもたくさんの魚達や赤ちゃんウミガメにも会うことが出来ました。
カメラマンのマイクも盛り上げ上手でたくさん写真を撮ってはみんなを笑わせてくれますし、このツアーはやっぱり雰囲気というか、どれだけ参加者を盛り上げられるかが大事なんだなと感じました。
写真は全部で800枚程度あり、データで50ドル程かかるとのことでしたが、30-40人ほどのツアー客がいるので自分達が写っている写真はほんの一部ですし、みんなウェットスーツとゴーグルをしているため誰が誰だかわかりません(笑)
もちろん写真は水中のものなど素敵なものが多かったですが50ドルは高いなと思い購入は諦めました。
もう少し求めやすい価格にすれば多くの参加者が購入するのでは？と思いました。
あと前回も思ったのですが、港での仮設トイレ(ぼっとん)の汚さは耐えられないレベルです…その後ワイキキまで戻るのに1時間から1時間半くらい？はかかるので港でするしかないのです。
ただ、日本人にはあれはなかなかの苦痛なトイレです…。
せめて、近くのトイレまで車で移動して頂けると助かります。
次回もハワイに行ったら絶対に参加したいツアーなのでご検討よろしくお願いします^^;
一緒に参加した彼は人生初ハワイでしたが、この旅で1番の思い出は？と聞くと、イルカ中学！！！と即答してました(笑)
本当に素敵な思い出になりました。
ありがとうございました。

Dolphins are wild creatures, so there's no guarantee that you'll see them, but this tour offers a high probability of encountering them. The reason for this is that the instructor drives the boat and selects snorkeling points based on the dolphins' behavior that day. They also provide detailed instructions to help you see the dolphins up close. When the dolphins appeared right in front of us, I was very excited. I believe this is the only tour where you can see wild dolphins up close with such a high probability. I had a really great time participating. Thank you!

イルカは野生の生き物なので必ず会えると言う保証はありませんがこのツアーは、ほとんどの確率で会えます。
それは何故かと言うと、インストラクターの方が船を運転してその日のイルカの調子でポイントを選んでシュノーケリングをするからです。
またイルカを間近で見るために細かい指示をしてくれます。
今回イルカがの前に現れて、とても興奮しました。これだけ高い確率で野生のイルカを間近に見ることができるツアーはここのツアーだけだと思います。
参加できてほんとに楽しかったです。
ありがとうございます。

It was a wonderful experience in my life. sandbar is also unique site and unexpected view..I could see beach shore and fish from sea and stand on the sea!! how to imagine ? play volleyball on the sea
And english guider, singer, all crew are so nice and kind to be comfortable for us to enjoy activitie and bbq lunch tour.
I will absolutely recommend this captain bob's sanbar and snorkel tour to my friends and coworkers who plan to go on vacation in Hawaii.

Thanks.

I participated in an all-Hawaii cruise tour. I joined because I was longing to see the beautiful sandbars like in the pictures, but unfortunately, the water was deeper than knee-high... And above all, it was very cold since it was March. The snorkeling was quite chilly due to the low seawater temperature. However, the delicious BBQ lunch made up for those downsides! The tour guide was also very nice. When I go to Hawaii again, I will definitely try to get my sandbar revenge with this company.

オールハワイ・クルーズのツアーに参加しました。写真で見るようなキレイなサンドバーに憧れての参加でしたが残念ながら膝丈以上の深さ、、、。そして何より3月ということもあり非常に寒かった。シュノーケリングも海水温が非常に低く凍える寒さ。しかしそのマイナス面を補ってくれるBBQランチの美味さ！！そして添乗員さんも非常に良い方でした。またハワイに行く際はこちらの会社でサンバーリベンジします。

Second time I have used this tour to get to and from Hanauma Bay. Especially a great value if you already have your own snorkeling equipment as you can take the price down a few dollars without equipment rental.

Go first thing in the morning and be ready to get into the water by 8am or earlier. That way you can snorkel without the crowds until the circus arrives around 10am. By then I had already gotten 2 full hours of relatively unspoiled pics of all that I wanted to take and enjoyed lounging on the beach until the pickup time.

For a quick tour where you will more than likely run into several honu, the Mana Kai Catamaran morning snorkel is a great value. We not only ran into 5-6 large honu at the shell cleaning station, we also found a pod of spinner dolphins. The captain careful followed the dolphins at a safe distance, so we managed to snap some great pics.

Will definitely do again upon my next return!

Trip was really fun. I was afraid of getting sea sick but the water was calm. I’ve been on many snorkel trips in Hawaii and Cabo San Lucas that take you out on a boat for 5 hours or so and provide lunch. Those I felt were way too long and you lose half the day. This one was only about 2.5 hours in the morning which was perfect. We had our 10 year old son with us and his attention span is short and he tires out after 30 minutes of snorkeling. Best part was we got on and off the boat at Waikiki Beach and did not have to drive to a harbor so we saved another hour or so. We saw lots of turtles right away and our son loved snorkeling with the turtles even though he was not a good swimmer. They provide life vests to everyone. I highly recommend going on this tour.

I participated with my mother. The guide stayed close to my mother, who had trouble with her breathing technique, which allowed both of us to enjoy snorkeling with peace of mind. The guide was very knowledgeable about the fish spots, so we were able to see a variety of fish efficiently, which was great. The fish swam very close to us and were beautiful.

However, it happened to be a very cold day, so I gave it one star less. The tour itself was excellent.

母と二人で参加。上手く息継ぎできない母にずっとついてくださって、私も母も安心してシュノーケリングを楽しめました。魚のポイントもよくご存じなので、様々な種類の魚を効率よく見れて良かったです。魚もすぐ近くに泳いでいてとてもきれいでした。
たまたま、この日は非常に寒かったので星を一つとりました。ツアー自体は最高でした。

As soon as we left the port, without even having time to prepare, we encountered a pod of dolphins! After diving in and enjoying that, we also saw sea turtles and stingrays. I never expected to see a whale before heading back after playing on the SUP. When it was really time to go back, I realized that my digital camera, which the captain had around his neck, was missing... Even though I said, "It's okay," everyone helped look for it in the water. Within five minutes, Maiko found it, and everything was a surprise! Thank you, everyone.

港を出てすぐ、準備をする暇もなくイルカの群れがーっ！急いで飛び込み堪能したところでウミガメ、エイも登場。
SUPで遊んで帰港する前にクジラまで見られるなんて思いもしませんでした。
で、ホントに帰るとなった時にキャプテンが首からかけていた私のデジカメが無いことに気付いて…
「もういいよー」と言っているのに皆で海の中を探してくれました。
5分もしないうちにマイコーが見つけてくれて、何もかもがサプライズ！
みなさんありがとうございました。

We went on our honeymoon. Swimming with dolphins requires a lot of stamina... I was able to see one dolphin swimming from a distance.

When viewing dolphins from the boat, it was so much fun to see them mating and to be able to watch many dolphins chasing the boat up close! Just this experience made it worth participating in the tour. I was also moved to see three sea turtles!! It was my first time snorkeling, and there were so many fish, plus we were able to take a lot of photos, which was great! I wish we could buy the photo data just for ourselves, even if it was a bit pricey. I don't need the ones with everyone in them... But it became the best memory!

新婚旅行で行きました。イルカと泳ぐのは体力が必要です・・・。泳いでいるイルカを遠目で１匹見れました。
船からイルカを見るときは、交尾とかみれたり、船おっかけてくるたくさんのイルカが凄く至近距離で見れたりとっても楽しかったです！！これだけでツアー参加して良かったです。ウミガメも３匹いて感動しました！！初のシュノーケリングでしたが魚もたくさんいて、写真も沢山撮ってもらえてよかったです！！写真データが、自分たちだけのでも、多少割高でいいので買えたらいいのになーって思いました。みんながうつってるやつはいらないです・・・。でも最高な思い出になりました。

I was impressed by the beauty of the ocean. The hamburger I had on the boat was very delicious!! I would like to participate again when I go to Hawaii.

海のきれいさに感動しました。
また船の上で食べるハンバーガーはとっても美味しかったです！！
またハワイに行った時は参加したいです。

My sister and I signed up for the tour, and on the day of the tour, there were four participants including two foreigners. The weather was completely different from the rain the day before; it was clear and relatively warm. Although there weren't large schools of fish, we saw some swimming around, which was very enjoyable! Additionally, we miraculously encountered a sea turtle, which was incredibly moving :) According to our guide, it had been about a month since the last sighting…! I was so happy. The water temperature was cold even with a wetsuit, and it was a bit murky when diving, possibly due to the rain the day before, but I was very satisfied. Our guide, Chieko, was cheerful and friendly, making it a very enjoyable tour. Thank you!

姉妹2人でツアーに申し込み、当日は外国人2名も合わせて4名の参加でした。この日は前日の雨とは打って変わって快晴で比較的あたたかく、大群とはいきませんでしたがお魚さんもそこらで泳いでいてとても楽しかったです！また、奇跡的にウミガメにも遭遇でき、大変感動しました:) ガイドさんによれば1ヶ月ぶりぐらいだとか…！嬉しかったです。水温はウェットスーツを着ていても冷たく、前日の雨のせいか潜ると少し白んでいましたがとても満足です。ガイドのちえこさんも明るく気さくに話してくださりとても楽しいツアーになりましたありがとうございました！

We participated as a family of four (all adults). Among the three staff members, the female staff member was fluent in Japanese, so we had no trouble understanding the explanations before snorkeling. The snorkeling lasted about 40 minutes. We were instructed to keep our bodies horizontal and look into the water, but it wasn't difficult to maintain that position since we had a foam-like stick to hold near our knees. The manta rays came close enough to touch. They are large and incredibly impressive! We were able to see at least five manta rays. The staff were very considerate, making our experience comfortable. Additionally, we received a tote bag with a manta ray design on our way back.

I was worried about seasickness, and while my wife experienced some mild symptoms, it wasn't serious, and it seemed that no other participants had issues with seasickness. However, I think it depends on the wave conditions of the day. Also, it might be wise to rent a wetsuit for an additional fee ($10 each).

家族4人で参加しました。（全員大人）
スタッフ3名のうち女性のスタッフの方は日本語が堪能なので、シュノーケリング前の説明等も問題なく理解できました。シュノーケリングは約40分間。
体を水平にして海中を覗き込むように言われましたが、発泡スチロールのような棒状のものを膝の辺りに当てるので体を水平に維持するのは疲れもせず難しくなかったです。
マンタは体に触れるくらいまで近くに来てくれます。
マンタは大きく凄い迫力です！　確認できただけでも５枚のマンタを見ることができました。
スタッフの皆さんもいろいろと気遣いしてくれて快適でした。
それと、帰りにマンタの絵が描かれたトートバッグをいただきました。

船酔いが心配でしたが、妻に少し船酔いの症状が出たものの大事には至らず、他の参加者にも船酔いした人はいなかったようです。ただ、船酔いに関してはその日の波の状況にもよると思います。
それと別料金（1着10㌦）になりますがウエットスーツは借りたほうが賢明ではないでしょうか。
