All Reviews for Snorkeling Cruises & Tours

The weather worsened, so it was canceled once and then rescheduled for the next day. The staff's response was smooth, which was great.

In reality, there were waves, and the sea was cold, making it tough for families with young children, as the kids seemed scared and cold. It would be better to have an age limit of 10 years and older. Many adults also experienced seasickness.

On my third attempt, I was able to see three groups of mother and baby dolphins. I was really glad to see them.

天候悪化で、一度中止で、翌日に変更してもらいました。スタッフの対応もスムーズで、よかったです。

実際、波があり、海が冷たく、小学生低学年の親子連れは、子供達が怖がったり、寒がったりして、大変そうでした。年齢制限を10歳以上の方がよいですね。船酔いの大人も多かったです。
3度目のチャレンジで、イルカの親子連れに3組見れました。見られて本当によかったです。

The boat was quite fast and impressive. I was able to see colorful fish and manta rays. The staff was also friendly.

ボートは結構なスピードで迫力があります。色とりどりなな魚たちマンタが見られました。スタッフも親切でした。

Dan's an experienced guide for us first timers. They provide rx lenses for masks. The weather was just perfect. But I was just too seasick to swim further to see more fish :(

On the day of the event, it was raining heavily and too cold, making it a test of endurance. I would like to suggest establishing certain rules and considering canceling the tour in case of bad weather.

当日は雨がたくさん降っており寒すぎて我慢比べ
大会でした。一定のルールを定め、天候不良の場合
はツアー中止を検討頂きたいです。

Weather was rainy and chilly. As a result we were crowded in a small area with a roof for the entire afternoon. Tried snorkeling at the sand bar, saw nothing and it was very cold. Too cold to snorkel at the second spot. Burgers were good and the staff were nice. Bottom line is they should have canceled the trip and refunded our money. They even charged us for drinks!! It was by far, the worst boat experience I have ever had. They should be ashamed of themselves!!!!!!

My wife and I really enjoyed our trip. The boat was easy to get on and off and the snorkel destination is close by. We went at the end of December and there were at least 5 turtles swimming with us. Lots of fun for a quick and easy adventure. The views of waikiki on he way home were a plus!

We participated on Christmas Day with our 4-year-old child. I was honestly worried about whether my child would enjoy it, but I wanted to show her the dolphins, so we joined. Of course, my child couldn't swim with the dolphins, but while my husband and I were searching for dolphins, the crew took care of our daughter, and she seemed to have a great time, for which we are truly grateful. At the next snorkeling spot, our daughter was able to get in the water and see the fish, which was really nice. A life jacket is essential, and I think it's better to rent one if you're going in winter. Next time, I want to get in the water with my daughter and show her lots of dolphins. Our guide, Julie, was so bright and gave us a lot of positive encouragement. Thank you very much!

4歳の子供とクリスマスの日に参加しました。子供が楽しめるか、正直不安でしたが、イルカを見せてあげたくて参加しました。流石に、子供はイルカと一緒には泳ぐことができませんでしたが、私達夫婦がイルカ探しをしている間、クルーの人が娘の面倒をみてくださったおかげで、ご機嫌に過ごせたようで、ほんと感謝で、助かりました。次のシュノーケリングスポットでは、娘も海に入り、魚を見ることができ、ほんとよかったです。ライフジャケットは必須で、冬に行かれる方は借りられた方がいいと思います。次回は、娘と一緒に海に入り、沢山のイルカを見せてやりたいと思います。ガイドのジュリーさんの明るさ、ほんと前向きな勇気をもらえました。ありがとうございました！

It was amazing!!!! There were quite a few manta rays swirling around! I was about 10 cm away from them, and they were about 2 to 4 meters in size. It was truly moving! Just the best!

感動！！！！かなりのマンタ達がクルクルクルクルクルクル！！マンタとの距離が10cmくらいの間近で、マンタは2〜4m程の大きさで、感動でした！最高の一言です。

The Japanese guide was friendly and taught us everything. The sandbar felt like walking in the sea, with beautiful clear water and white sand that was very soothing.

Since the time for snorkeling is included, it feels like a good deal. However, it's a bit disappointing that the area has low water clarity, so it may not be recommended for those who are looking forward to snorkeling the most.

After the tour, there are no places to change or shower. This seems to be the case with other tours as well, so it's not that this tour is bad. It seems that when participating in such tours in Hawaii, it's normal to just wipe off lightly with a towel while still in seawater and return to the hotel as is.

日本人ガイドさんがフレンドリーで、なんでも教えてくれました。サンドバーは、海の中(上？)を散歩してるかのようで、水も白い砂も綺麗で癒されました。

シュノーケルをする時間も含まれているので、お得感があります。少し残念なのは、水の透明度が低いエリアらしく、シュノーケルを一番の楽しみにしてる方にはお勧めできないかもです。

ツアーのあと、着替える場所、シャワーする場所はありません。他のツアーでも、そういう感じなので、このツアーが悪いわけではないです。ハワイでこういったツアーに参加する場合は、海水のまま、軽くタオルで拭いて、ホテルにそのまま戻るのが普通なようでした。

Amazing and beautiful, It was like entering into a different world

It was a fantastic adventure. The staff was friendly and professional and the trip was awesome!

This was a great snorkeling trip. The boat was great and the crew was outstanding. My son had a blast. The turtles were amazing. the lunch was good and overall an outstanding experience. Thanks for a great time.

The weather was bad and it was a cold time, but I really enjoyed snorkeling! We couldn't come during a time when the sandbar had low water levels, but we had fun playing beach volleyball and other activities. I think those who come ready to have a great time in the ocean will enjoy it!

天気も悪く、寒い時期でしたが、シュノーケリングはとっても楽しめました！サンドバーはなかなか水位が低い時期に来れないのですが、ビーチバレーなど楽しめました。海でがっちり遊ぼうと思って来た方が楽しめると思います！

We participated as a family of five, with ages ranging from 10 to over 50. Thanks to our captain, who was full of love for dolphins, we got to see so many dolphins and had an amazing time! The rental wetsuits were easy to put on and take off, which was great.

下は10歳、上は人生半世紀の家族5人で参加しました。イルカ愛に溢れる船長さんのおかげで、たくさんのイルカちゃん達に会えてめちゃくちゃ楽しかったです♬レンタルのウェットスーツは着脱しやすくてよかったです。

The weather was not great because it was the rainy season, but the water was relatively clear, and I got to see a honu (sea turtle), which was amazing. I also had the experience of stand-up paddleboarding and kayaking, and the time flew by. The guide was excellent.

お天気は雨季なのでいまいちでしたが〜
海の濁りも少なくホヌにも会えて最高でした。
サップやカヤックの体験もできあっという間の時間でした。
ガイドも最高

The charming guide taught us how to find sea turtles in advance, so we were able to spot them right away! I hesitated to go snorkeling because the water was cold, but I got used to the chill and decided to give it a try. I was very satisfied to see a different side of Hawaii's ocean compared to Waikiki! Other guides also took plenty of photos and provided great service.

チャーミングなガイドさんが事前にウミガメの見つけ方を教えてくれたので、すぐにウミガメを見つける事が出来ました！水が冷たく、シュノーケリングをするかをためらっていましたが、冷たさにも慣れたのでやってみました。ワイキキの海とは違うハワイの海を見れたので大満足でした〜！他のガイドさんもたくさん写真を撮ってくれたりサービスも充実していました。

I participated on December 25th.
I encountered a family of dolphins right near the port. They swam slowly just below us, so we were able to take great photos! I also saw a sea turtle.
Since we were in the water for a long time, everyone wore wetsuits, but it might be quite cold during the movement due to the wind.
Lastly, our guide, Julie, was amazing. You can really feel her love for dolphins and nature. I highly recommend it.

12月25日に参加しました。
港の直ぐ近くで、イルカのファミリー？に出会いました。直ぐ真下をゆっくりと泳いでいるのでしっかり写真も撮れます！海ガメもみました。
長い時間海にいるので、ウェットスーツは全員着用してましたが、移動中は風で結構寒いかも。
最後に、ガイドのジュリーさん最高でした。イルカ愛と、自然愛を感じます。おススメです。

I was sleep-deprived, so I fell into a deep sleep on the bus ride, but the guide's energy was incredible and really lifted my spirits!

I had an absolute blast!!

寝不足だったので、行きのバスで爆睡してしまいましたが、ガイドの元気が凄まじく、元気もらえました！！


めちゃくちゃ楽しかったです！！

I could feel the guide's passion for marine life, including dolphins, and it was enjoyable. We had a perfect encounter with a pod of dolphins, and we even saw a whale as a bonus. My child got seasick, but they provided solid support.

イルカをはじめとする海の生き物に対するガイドの情熱が伝わってきて楽しめました。イルカの群れにバッチリ遭遇できたし、おまけにクジラもみられました。子供が船酔いしてしまいましたが、しっかりサポートしてくれました。

Since I went in December, the sea water was cold, but I was able to see sea turtles and many fish, which was very enjoyable. My child was also very excited when they found fish. The hamburger on the boat was very delicious. The staff were all kind, and they took care of my younger child who started to fuss, allowing me to enjoy snorkeling. I'm glad I went.

12月に行ったので、海の水が冷たかったですが、海亀も、見れて、海の魚もよく見れてとても楽しかったです。
子供も、魚を見つけることが出来たら、大興奮でした。
船の上のハンバーガーが、とても美味しかったです。
スタッフの方も、みんな親切で、ぐずりだした下の子を見てくれたので、シュノーケリングを楽しむことができました。
行ってよかったです。

The waves were strong, and many people got seasick. We were able to see sea turtles, but since they were diving, we couldn't see them clearly, which was disappointing.

波が強かったみたいで船酔いする人が多かった。
ウミガメは見れた。しかし潜っているため綺麗に見えなかったので残念。

Fortunately, I was able to encounter a sea turtle! I also got to swim alongside a large school of fish, making it an unforgettable experience.

ラッキーなことにウミガメに遭遇することができました！魚の大群とも一緒に泳ぐことができ、忘れられない経験になりました。

Two guides accompanied the nine participants. The guides carefully observed the overall condition of the participants while searching for sea turtles. Thanks to their solid support, even I, who cannot swim, was able to participate until the end without dropping out. I was worried about the cold due to my slim build, but I rented a wetsuit, so I managed to endure it (though I was shivering in the second half). I was able to see cute sea turtles, which became a wonderful memory. Thank you very much.

9名の参加者に対して2名のガイドさんがついてくれました。
ガイドさんはウミガメを探しながらも参加者全体の様子をよく観察しています。
しっかりとしたサポートのおかげで泳げない私でも脱落することなく最後まで参加できました。
痩せ型のため寒さを心配していたのですがウェットスーツをレンタルしたのでなんとか耐えられました。（後半は体が震えていましたが）
可愛いウミガメを見ることができてとてもいい思い出になりました。
本当にありがとうございました。

When we arrived at the port, it was completely cloudy. I passed by people who participated in the morning tour, and they all seemed to have gloomy expressions. I was half resigned to the weather, but when we arrived at the sandbar, the clouds began to clear, and it ended up being a beautiful sunny day!! It was truly a paradise! We were lucky to see many sea turtles, and snorkeling was a lot of fun! Since it was a nature tour, we understood that the weather was beyond our control and decided to take our chances. When we did, we were rewarded with breathtaking views, and everyone was extremely satisfied!! Thank you to all the staff!

港に到着時は全面曇ってました。
午前中のツアーに参加した人たちとすれ違いましたが、表情もみな曇っていたように感じました。
なかば諦めていましたが、サンドバーに到着するとどんどん雲がはけて、最終的には快晴！！
天使の海そのものでした！
ウミガメも運良くたくさんみれましたし、シュノーケルも楽しかったです！
自然のツアーなので、天気は仕方ないので理解して運にかけて参加するべき。
自分たちも運にかけて参加したら超絶景で全員大満足でした！！
スタッフの皆様ありがとうございました！

It was surprisingly cold, so I want to go in the summer next time.

I enjoyed it from start to finish!

My partner lost their windbreaker somewhere, but the staff helped us look for it and were very polite in their response.

I definitely want to go again, so I hope to see you then!

以外と寒かったので今度は夏に行きたいです

最初から最後まで楽しめました❗️

相方がウインドブレーカーをどこかで無くしてしまいましたがスタッフの方に色々と探して頂きとても丁寧な対応をしてもらいました☺️

是非また行きたいと思いますのでその時はよろしくお願いします

It was as good as the reputation suggests.
It's a place that many people, even those with experience traveling to Hawaii, surprisingly don't know about, but I definitely recommend visiting at least once.
It truly was a place deserving of the expression "the sea of angels."

評判通り良かったです。
ハワイ渡航経験者でも意外と知らない人も多い場所ですが、必ず1度は訪れてほしいところです。
天使の海という表現にふさわしい場所でした。

My son was SUPER excited to go snorkeling so we booked a day through Veltra. Our driver showed up within 5 minutes of our pickup time (a feat with traffic) and got us going. He was very personable and helpful in getting us our equipment. We had an AMAZING day at Hanauma Bay (reef-safe sunblock only, people!) He was right on time for our pickup and turned on the AC so we could sit comfortably while waiting for the rest of the guests to return. We had a great amount of time to be in the water and had so much fun! My son got an acceptance call to the first choice college while we were waiting. Our driver said Congrats and even again as we were getting out of the van. It
was a fabulous day.

The day I went, it was very windy, and due to the weather, I couldn't go to Molokini Island. However, I enjoyed snorkeling in the waters around Maui and participated in activities like whale watching. I was very satisfied because they were very flexible in accommodating my plans.

私の行った日は風が強く、天候の都合上モロキニ島に行くことができませんでしたが、代わりにマウイ島周辺部の海でシュノーケルを楽しみ、ホエールウォッチングなどのアクティビティを行い、非常に柔軟に対応していただいたためとても満足度が高かったです。

For $45, you can buy underwater videos and photos. I returned home and showed everyone the footage of Sea Bob. It was interesting!

４５ドルだせば、水中の動画や写真を買うことができます。シーボブの様子を帰国して、みんなに見せました。面白い！

We had done this excursion on our first trip last year. We had such an amazing time we decided to do it again
Upon our arrival at the marina our guide Jenner took excellent care of us but the best part was he remembered us from over a year ago the crew was exceptional we had a great lunch and saw lots of turtles. The snorkeling was fantastic
This is by far our favorite thing to do while on Oahu
