All Reviews for Snorkeling Cruises & Tours

I was a bit confused because there were supposed to be Japanese staff, but they were not present. It might have been part of the performance on the way to the location by boat, but it was quite intense, and my wife injured her finger on the boat. I also ended up with a whiplash-like pain in my neck and back. On the water, a female staff member was very helpful. We were able to see the manta rays rolling, but if the position of the lights had been adjusted a bit more, I think we could have observed them up close without clustering in one spot.

居るはずの日本語のスタッフがいなかったので少し戸惑った。ボートで現地に行く途中パフォーマンスかもしれないが激しかったので妻が船上で指をケガした、自分も首と腰がムチ打ちのようになった、
海上では女性の方が丁寧に補助してくれた。肝心のマンタのローリングはよく見れたが、照らすライトの位置をもっと工夫したら、1ヶ所に片寄らず近くで観察出来たと思う。

great captain, excellent title viewing, service and food were great

My teenagers and I had a great experience with Captain Hosanna and her crew. Weather was windier than one might prefer, but ride was smooth and we saw turtles on the way and then again at the reef, with many other colorful fish. Great snacks, well-managed deck, and they even found a prescription snorkel for me last-minute. We had the hotel pickup and dropoff, which was timely and professional. Well-run operation and very friendly staff at every interaction.

Had a fun time snorkeling and got to see sea turtles and a ton of fish.

I checked the tide and participated in the morning. The knee-deep water was decent, but I was surprised that it was cold even in May, probably due to the strong wind. My daughter was feeling cold the whole time and ended up wanting to get back on the boat early.

I didn't want to rent snorkeling gear, so I bought my own in Japan. I thought I saw something that mentioned we might encounter sea turtles, so I asked the guide if they could take us to a place where we could see them. They coldly replied that there are no sea turtles and that they wouldn't go to such a place. It seems that what I saw might have been a tour authorized by the state government.

The snorkeling set wasn't necessary; just a pair of goggles for the pool would have sufficed. The area enclosed by the buoys felt quite small.

Because of the strong wind, the stand-up paddleboard was easily swept outside the buoys, making it hard to enjoy. The donuts looked like they came in various types in the photos, but there was only one kind available.

The live music was lovely, but although it appeared to be a duet in the photos, there was only one performer. Next time I go, I think I will avoid this tour based on this experience.

潮位は調べて午前中に参加しました。
膝位でまずまずでしたが、風が強いせいか5月でも寒いのにびっくりです。娘はずっと寒がっていて早々に船に引き上げてしまいました。
シュノーケリング をレンタルするのが嫌で日本で購入して行きました。海亀に遭遇できるかもって文言を見た気がしたので、日本対応のガイドさんに海亀が見えるところに連れて行ってもらえるのですかと聞いた所、海亀なんていません。そんな所には行きませんと冷たく言い放たれてしまいました。どうも私が見たのは州政府公認許可を得ているツアーだったのかもです。
シュノーケリング のセットは必要なくただプールで使うゴーグルで事足りる感じでした。ブイで囲まれている面積も狭い感じでした。
風が強いのでSUPが流されてブイの外にすぐ出る感じであまり楽しめなかったです。
ドーナツも写真ではいろいろな種類が写ってますが1種類だけでした。
生演奏は素敵でしたが、写真では2人で演奏ですがお1人でした。
今度行くときは今回の事を踏まえてこのツアーにはしないかと思います。

Since it was a solo trip to Hawaii, I participated alone, but I enjoyed snorkeling and kayaking. Being an older lady, it was challenging to get into the kayak, but thanks to the kind staff, I was able to get on safely, which was great. All the staff were very friendly, and I had a wonderful time.

ひとりでのハワイ旅だったのでひとりで参加したがシュノーケリングやカヤックを楽しんだ。おばちゃんなのでカヤックに乗るのが大変だったが親切なスタッフのおかげで無事に乗れたのはよかった。スタッフのみんながとてもフレンドリーで楽しい時間を過ごせた。

The morning tour was fully booked, so I joined the afternoon tour. The afternoon was perfect for snorkeling, and I had a great time. The atmosphere on the boat and the staff were kind, and I truly made wonderful memories.

午前のツアーは空きが無く、午後のツアーに参加しました。
午後はシュノーケリングするのには最適で、ずっと楽しめました。
船の中の雰囲気やスタッフの方も優しくて、本当にいい思い出が出来ました。

Had a great time with our instructor and tour guide. He made it very easy very quick to get in the park. Usually when you go to a new place, you don’t know where you’re going. Told us where to go. What to do pick us up. Drop us off skip some lines. It was just an awesome time. Had a blast definitely would recommend my nephew and his wife are coming next month and I am telling him to go nowhere else.Veltra

You can solve all the hassle of advance reservations, transportation, parking, ticket purchases on-site, and video viewing. If you're going to Hanauma Bay, this tour is cost-effective, safe, and reliable. At Hanauma Bay, you can see many fish while snorkeling, so we rented just the snorkeling gear on-site and had a great experience with the family.

面倒な事前予約、交通、駐車場、現地でのチケット購入とビデオ視聴が全て解決できます。
ハナウマ湾へ行くならこのツアーがコスパもよく安心で確実です。
ハナウマ湾ではシュノーケリングでたくさんの魚が見れるので、シュノーケルだけ現地でレンタルし、家族で楽しい経験ができました。

This is my second time participating. The singing voices of the two performers on the boat are simply amazing!! While I had fun snorkeling and playing with the fish, I can't forget the live singing. I invited my friends who came with me this time so they could hear this beautiful singing too. The staff members were also kind, and I plan to go to Hawaii again in October this year for a solo trip, so I definitely want to participate even if I'm alone.

2回目の参加です。
船の中で歌ってくれるお2人の歌声がとにかく最高！！シュノーケルでお魚と戯れるのも楽しかったですが　私は生歌がとにかく忘れられなくて　今回一緒に行った友人達にもこの歌声を聞いてもらいたくて誘いました。スタッフの方々も親切で　今年　10月にもまた一人旅でハワイに行くつもりなので　これは1人でも参加したいです。

We traveled on a cruise ship while listening to live music. We stopped in water that was about waist-deep, enjoyed snorkeling and feeding the fish, and then explored by riding kayaks and canoes. After that, we were taken by motorboat to see sea turtles. There were far more tropical fish than at Hanauma, and the sea was beautiful, which was great.

クルーズ船で生演奏聴きながら移動。腰くらいの深さのところで停泊し、シュノーケリング、魚に餌やりなどで楽しみ、カヤックやカヌーに乗って周遊。その後、モーターボートです海亀を見に連れてってくれます。
ハナウマのよりもはるかに熱帯魚多くて海も綺麗で良かったです。

Great staff, great views and great experience!!!!

It was nice they gave us bread to give to the fish :)

The tour had just over 20 people, and my friend and I were the only Japanese, which really felt like being abroad!!!

The captain and the guides were also focused on environmental protection, balancing nature conservation and tourism on the Big Island of Hawaii. Although the stories about Hawaii were in English, I enjoyed listening to them.

They paid attention to the participants' dangerous behaviors, allowing us to enjoy the experience with peace of mind.

The water was very clear! However, I think it's unique to Hawaii, but there weren't a lot of colorful fish; the main ones were yellow fish.

Both breakfast and lunch served on the boat were delicious! I wonder why potato chips taste so good after playing in the ocean!

I would love to participate again when I come back to the Big Island.

総勢20名強のツアーで、日本人は友人と私の2人きりで、まさに海外！！！という感じでした。

船長さんはじめ、ガイドの皆様は環境保護にも注力しており、ハワイ島の自然保護と観光を両立されていらっしゃいました。途中のハワイのお話も英語ではあったものの楽しく拝聴しました。

ツアー参加者の危険行為にも注意を払っており、安心して楽しむことができます。

海は透明度も高かったです！ただ、ハワイ特有かと思いますが、色とりどりの魚というわけではなく、イエローフィッシュがメインでした。

船上でいただく、朝食、ランチともにおいしく頂きました！
海遊びのあとのポテトチップスってなんであんなに美味しいんでしょう！

また、ハワイ島に来る時には参加したいと思います。

Very fun snorkel tour in Maui. The crew was kind and helpful and we were able to see so much beautiful underwater wildlife.

The sea was indeed beautiful.

I'm not sure if the coral will regenerate from now on, but currently, it has become hard from being stepped on.

It's shallower than I expected.

海はやはり綺麗でした

サンゴは、これからまた再生するのか分からないが、現状は踏まれて硬くなっていた

思ったより浅いです

There is a shuttle service to nearby hotels, which makes it very convenient! You can also watch videos on the bus, saving time. Once you arrive, they guide you to the beach, so you can feel at ease.

近隣のホテルへの送迎があるのでとても楽です！バス内でビデオの視聴も済ませることができるので時間の節約もできます
到着してからもビーチまで案内してくれるので安心です

I am 60 years old, my wife is 57, and it was our first trip to Hawaii in 30 years. The staff were very kind, explaining the equipment and guiding us through the activities, which made us feel at ease.

私60歳、妻57歳で30年振りのハワイ旅行でしたが、スタッフの方々も親切に道具の説明やアクティビティの誘導など安心して過ごせました。

The ocean was beautiful, anyway! It was a half-day tour, but there was plenty of time, which was great! The snorkeling instructions were thorough, and I felt safe enjoying it! It was a bit cold, and I hesitated, but I was able to see sea turtles, which was amazing!

とにかく海が綺麗でした！半日のツアーでしたが時間的にも余裕があり良かったです！
シュノーケリングの説明もしっかりとあり、安心して楽しめました！少し寒くて躊躇しましたが、ウミガメも見ることができて最高でした！

I have visited Hawaii several times, but this time I found this tour and decided to participate. The ocean is incredibly beautiful, and you can observe small fish swimming around. The waves are gentle, and there are many areas where you can stand, so even those who can't swim can enjoy themselves safely.

It's also great that there are rentals for snorkeling gear, so you don't have to bring your own and can go with ease. Since it's a bit far from the city, access isn't very good, so it might be difficult to get there without a car, but this tour provided transportation to and from the hotel, which was a big help. The bus was clean and comfortable, making for a pleasant experience. I would definitely like to use this service again when I visit Hawaii next time.

ハワイには何度か訪れているのですが、今回このツアーを見つけて参加してみました。海は大変綺麗で小さなお魚が泳いでるとこを観察することができます。波も穏やかでたくさん足のつく場所が多くあるので泳げない人でも安心して楽しめるかと思います。
シュノーケルなどのレンタルもあるので持って行かなくても安心して気軽にいけるのも良かったと思います。少し街から離れているためアクセスがあまりよくないため、車などがないと行くことが難しいと思いますがこのツアーはホテルまでの送迎がありかなり助かりました。バスも綺麗で快適に過ごすことができたので良かったです。またハワイに訪れた際は利用したいと思います。

I participated in a tour of Hanauma Bay in Hawaii, and it was an amazing experience that far exceeded my expectations! The ocean was incredibly beautiful, and I was thrilled to see so many stunning fish up close, especially around the coral reefs. It truly felt like a "natural aquarium," and I couldn't contain my excitement every time I discovered a new fish while snorkeling.

Additionally, the tour was excellent in terms of organization. Individual tickets for Hanauma Bay go on sale two days in advance, which can lead to a scramble if you're trying to book on your own. However, with the tour, I was able to secure my spot in advance, which was the biggest advantage. Furthermore, we were able to watch the mandatory environmental protection video on the bus during our ride, allowing for a remarkably smooth entry upon arrival.

I also appreciated being able to choose the return bus time at my own pace. It made it easy to control my stay based on my condition and satisfaction, resulting in a stress-free and thoroughly enjoyable tour from start to finish!

ハワイのハナウマ湾ツアーに参加しましたが、期待を遥かに超える素晴らしい体験でした！
とにかく海が信じられないほど綺麗で、珊瑚礁の付近を中心に、驚くほどたくさんの美しい魚たちを間近で見ることができて大興奮でした。本当に「天然の水族館」のようで、シュノーケリング中はいろいろな魚を発見するたびにワクワクが止まりません。

また、システム面でもこのツアーは非常に優秀でした。ハナウマ湾の個人予約チケットは2日前からの発売開始なので、自力だと争奪戦になりがちですが、ツアーなら事前に席を確保できて安心して参加できるのが最大のメリットです。さらに、現地で必須となっている環境保護の動画視聴を移動中のバス内で済ませられるため、到着後は驚くほどスムーズに入場できました。
帰りのバスの時間を自分のペースに合わせて自由に決められるのも嬉しかったです。体調や満足度に合わせて滞在時間をコントロールしやすく、最初から最後までストレスフリーで大満足のツアーでした！

By using the tour with transportation, I was able to visit Hanauma Bay, which is difficult to reserve in advance, with peace of mind. Since we could watch an environmental protection video on the bus, we were able to enter smoothly upon arrival and immediately enjoy snorkeling, which was also a great feature. I was moved by the colorful fish in the crystal-clear sea. The view of the emerald green ocean from the high vantage point was beautiful, making it a special time to fully appreciate the charm of Hawaii's nature.

送迎付きツアーを利用したことで、事前予約が難しいハナウマ湾にも安心して訪れることができました。バス内で環境保護ビデオを視聴できたため、現地到着後はスムーズに入場でき、すぐにシュノーケリングを楽しめた点も魅力的でした。透明度の高い海では色とりどりの魚を見ることができ感動しました。高台から見下ろすエメラルドグリーンの海の景色も美しく、ハワイの自然の魅力を存分に感じられる特別な時間になりました。

I was anxious about my first overseas trip, but I felt reassured because there were staff members who spoke Japanese. I was able to participate comfortably. The activities were also enjoyable!

The staff constantly checked in with us and kindly explained various points, so I believe even first-timers can participate with confidence.

Moreover, I was really happy that a staff member approached me and took me to see sea turtles! Thank you very much!

初めての海外旅行で不安だったのですが、日本語を話せるスタッフの方がいたので安心して参加できました。
アクティビティも体験できてとても楽しかったです！

スタッフの方々が常に声をかけてくださったり、ポイントなども丁寧に教えてくださるので初めての方でも安心して参加できると思います。

さらに、スタッフの方に声をかけていただき、ウミガメを見に連れて行ってもらえたことが本当に嬉しかったです！
ありがとうございました！

The sea was very beautiful!! I took a small child with me, and the child had a great time as well. There was plenty of time in the water, and we could play with snorkeling gear and boards until we got tired.

I booked a plan that included lunch, so we enjoyed delicious sandwiches. While on the boat, we enjoyed singing and took in the wonderful ocean views to our heart's content.

とてもきれいな海!!小さな子どもを連れて行ったのですが、子どもも大変楽しんでくれました。たっぷりの水中時間もあって、飽きるまでずっとシューケリングやボードなどを遊べます。
ランチ付きのプランを予約したので、美味しいサンドイッチを頂きました。船では歌を楽しんでいながら外の素敵な海景色を思う存分眺めました。

海の透明度、水の中に入ると色々な種類の魚がいて楽しかったです。現地の方々の接客や歌手の方の歌も心地良かったです。

A special experience. I wouldn't change a thing. Connection with nature and people. Not crowded. Staff helpful Great lunch. The sandbar was my favorite since I am not a snorkeling person. My husband enjoyed the snorkeling experience.

Great team of experts! This was my first time out in the ocean and it was a blast. They know what they’re doing and will make sure you’re safe the whole time. Will definitely check them out again in the future!

Considering the reservation, shuttle service, and parking, I think it's very cost-effective. It was also helpful that we could fit a lot of luggage. We were able to easily get the stroller on from the entrance.

予約、送迎、駐車場のことを考えるととてもコスパがいいと思います。
荷物もたくさん乗せられるので助かりました。
入り口からバギーもすんなり乗れました。

We had such a great time though it was raining and thundering the crew was amazing, the lunch was good and the snorkeling was such a fun time. The hot chocolate such a perfect way to end a cool trip!! Mahalo to the crew!!

The staff were very kind and took great care of me, even though I'm not very good at Japanese.

The atmosphere on the boat was wonderful, and the sea was truly beautiful. I was able to see a lot of fish while snorkeling, and I am very satisfied with that experience.

The banana boat was even more fun than I imagined, and it became a wonderful memory. I definitely want to participate again!

スタッフの方がとても親切で、日本語があまり得意ではない私にも最後まで丁寧に対応してくださいました。

船の雰囲気もとても良く、海も本当にきれいでした。シュノーケリングでは無事にたくさんの魚を見ることができて、とても満足しています。

バナナボートも想像以上に楽しくて、素敵な思い出になりました。ぜひまた参加したいです！
