All Reviews for Snorkeling Cruises & Tours

We searched for dolphins from the boat and when we found them, we jumped into the sea. There were times when I could only see them at the surface because they were swimming slowly, but the staff prioritized those who hadn't seen them yet and let us into the water, so I was able to see them safely. The sea was beautiful, and I was also able to see sea turtles from the boat, making it a very satisfying tour!

船からイルカを探し、イルカを見つけては海の中へ。泳ぐのが遅くて水面でしかみれなかったときもありましたが、係りの方が見れてない人優先で海に入れてくれたので無事に見ることができました。
海がキレイだったので船の上からはウミガメも見ることができとても満足なツアーでした！

This is my third time participating in this tour. I have joined tours from other companies, but the Angel's Sea from All Hawaii Cruise is the most fun. This is what an American hamburger is all about! Thanks to the fun staff, my excitement starts from the welcome bus, and the lunch hamburger is incredibly delicious!

このツアー参加は3度目です。他社のツアーにも参加したことがありますが、オールハワイクルーズの天使の海が一番楽しいです。これぞアメリカンハンバーガーですね！楽しいスタッフの方のおかげで、お迎えのバス内からテンション上がりますし、なんてったってランチのハンバーガーがピカ一美味い！

This is my second time participating. Last time, I only swam a little because it was my first time snorkeling, but this time I swam around the coral reef. As a result, I was able to swim with sea turtles. I wanted to be taken to the Dragon Palace, but instead of the angelic sea, I felt like I was heading to the real paradise. (Considering my age...) For lunch, the beautiful young captain grilled hamburgers, which were very delicious. Playing volleyball at the sandbar was also fun. Next time, if I have the opportunity, I would like to take photos with the sea turtles again.

今回で、2回目の参加です。
前回はシュノーケリングは、初めてなので少ししか泳ぎませんでしたが、今回は２回目なので、サンゴ礁近の周りを泳ぎました。その結果、海亀と一緒に泳ぐことができました。このまま竜宮城へ連れて行ってもらいたかったのですが、天使の海でなく、本当の天国のへ海に逝ってしまいそうでした。（年齢もそれなりですが・・・）昼食は、美人の若い船長自らの、焼いたハンバーガーでとてもおいしかったです。サンドバーでの、バレーボールも楽しかったです。
次回、機会があったらまた、海亀と一緒に写真を撮りたいです。

The guide was great, and the sandbar was waist-deep, which made me wonder how planning a sandbar visit during this time of year would be. Unfortunately, I could only see the sea turtles from a distance, which was really disappointing. However, the hamburger for lunch was delicious. On the other hand, the drinks were a letdown.

調子のいいガイドさんとサンドバーが腰まで浸かりこの時期にサンドバーを計画するのはどうなのかな？と思いました。また、ウミガメも遠くからしか見えず全く残念。ただ、ランチのハンバーガーは美味しかった。でも、飲み物は残念でした。

My husband and I really enjoyed this outing. The crew was laid back and friendly. We definitely saw turtles. They had snacks on board and alcohol for purchase. Easily my favorite afternoon in Waikiki. Thank you!

I couldn't be active due to seasickness, but when I started to feel a little better, I swam with dolphins! It was simply the best! The sight of so many dolphins swimming was truly breathtaking! It's something I've only seen on TV. Additionally, there were many sea turtles that day! It's a regret that I couldn't swim with the sea turtles because my seasickness worsened. The staff were friendly and fun, making it an enjoyable experience, aside from the seasickness. Watching the sunrise at the beginning of the tour was also amazing! I would love to join this tour again!

船酔いでアクティブにできなかったですが、船酔いの具合がちょっと調子が良くなった時にイルカと泳ぎました！
最高の一言です！！
たくさんのイルカが泳いでる姿はまさに圧巻！
テレビでしか見た事ない光景です。
それにこの日はウミガメさん達もたくさんいました！
船酔い悪化してウミガメさんと泳ぐ事ができなかったのが心残りです。
スタッフさん達も気さくで楽しい方々で満喫できました。船酔い以外は。笑
ツアー序盤の朝日を見るのも最高でした！
また参加したいツアーです！

I participated in the local gathering plan at Manta University. We met at Honokohau Harbor, located between Kona Airport and Kailua-Kona. That night, the highlight was Keauhou.

There were handles attached around a surfboard with blue LED lights underneath, and as I held on and floated, mantas repeatedly approached and circled to feed on the plankton attracted by the lights. It was incredibly impressive.

I was told not to touch them, but the mantas came so close that it felt like I could reach out and touch them. They approached so many times during the 30 minutes that I lost count, so I was very satisfied. I heard that on some days they might not show up at all, so I must have been lucky.

マンタ大学の現地集合プランに参加。
コナ空港とカイルア・コナの間にあるホノコハウ港集合。
その夜のポイントはケアウホウ。
下にLEDの青いライトのついたサーフボードの周囲に取っ手がつけられていて、それを握って浮かんでいると、ライトに集まるプランクトンを食べにマンタが何度も近づいてきては旋回。
すごい迫力です。
触ってはいけないと言われていましたが、マンタの方から触れそうなほど近くまで来きます。
30分間に数えられない回数マンタが近寄ってきたので大満足です。
日によっては全くいない時もあるそうなので、運が良かったようです。

I was able to see dolphins and sea turtles up close! It was so moving!! The flow of the tour is generally set, but it's not strict, so they were flexible enough to allow us to dive twice to see the dolphins, and even prioritized seeing the sea turtles over paddle boarding when time was running out. I was very satisfied! Also, the people on the boat were very friendly, and we were able to enjoy ourselves while heading to our destination. However, the boat sways a lot, so motion sickness medication is a must!!

イルカもウミガメもとても近くで見ることが出来ました！
感動！！
ツアーの流れは大まかには決まっていますが、絶対ではないので、イルカを見るために2回潜ることが出来るようにしていただけたり、時間がなくなってもウミガメを見ることを優先して、パドルバードはしないなど、臨機応変に対応していただけるので、とても満足しました！
また、船に乗っている方達もとても気さくで、乗っている間も楽しみながら目的地まで行く事ができました。
ただ、船がとても揺れるので酔い止めは必需品です！！

Thank you for taking care of us on the 11:00 AM departure course on November 1st. The thorough safety checks and explanations beforehand made us feel secure and allowed us to enjoy ourselves. Although I'm not great at understanding English, the repeated explanations in both English and Japanese helped me understand well, and I feel like I learned something in English too, haha.

Traveling by boat takes some time, but during that time, the staff entertained us by singing with a ukulele and dancing to the music, which was very fulfilling. We were also blessed with good weather, and the staff, both men and women, were wonderful people. It was truly the best experience. Thank you! ☆

11/1の11時出港コースでお世話になりました。
安全確認など事前の説明が丁寧で安心して楽しめました。
私は英語の聞き取りも得意ではありませんが、英語の説明と日本語の説明を繰り返してもらえるので、
十分理解できますし、英語の勉強にもなった気がします笑
船での移動はある程度時間がかかりますが、その間、スタッフの皆さんがウクレレで歌を歌ったり、音楽に合わせてダンスを踊ったりと、とても充実していました。
天候にも恵まれましたし、スタッフの皆さんも男性女性ともに素敵な人達で、本当に最高でした。
ありがとうございました☆

The morning check in was very easy and they had coffee. We brought our own gear but bought wet suits to stay warm. The creator had some different varieties of fish. Turtle Town was my favorite. They gave us more than we could eat for lunch. The crew was fantastic and we had drinks on the way back. Thanks again for the great time

So much fun! Would highly recommend this to both inexperienced and experienced snorkelers. Dan and Chieko knew the reef well and guided us to spots where we were gaurenteed to see the fish and sea turtles. Dan also takes pictures with his GoPro so you don't have to worry about bringing your own camera. I would do it again in a heartbeat!

We had a great time, and really enjoyed the entire experience. We we lucky and had manta rays barrel rolling right up to us for most of the time we were in the water. The captain and staff were friendly and knowledgeable. And the snacks were a nice treat after getting out of the water. Hope to do it again!

My friend couldn't make it for personal reasons, so I participated alone! I was the only one attending solo; everyone else was with friends, couples, or spouses, which made me a bit anxious at first. However, once I got on the boat, I became engrossed in searching for dolphins, and when I was snorkeling, I focused on swimming, so it was fine! I also got to see hula dancing and enjoyed a delicious hamburger, which left me satisfied. Since I couldn't swim with the dolphins or turtles, I received a half-price ticket for the next time, so I definitely want to participate again!

友人が訳あってこれなくなり
1人で参加させていただきました！
1人での参加は私だけで他は友人どうし、カップル、夫婦などで
最初は不安でした。
けどいざ船に乗ればイルカ探しに夢中になりますし
シュノーケルしている時は泳ぎに集中するので
大丈夫でした！
フラダンスも見れて美味しいハンバーガーを食べて
満足でした。
イルカ、亀と泳ぐことができなかったので
次回の半額券も頂いたのでまた参加したいです！

This was an amazing trip. We had a smooth ride out to the Sheraton and saw a beautiful sunset.
Then we got our snorkels and masks and got in the water. We all grabbed the handrail on the kick board and gotntowed out to abgood spot. We ended up joining up with other groups to form a "buffet line". Th manta rays came through eating plankton doing barrel rolls so close I thought they were going to brush our faces with their wing tips!
I highly recommend this tour group. They're super friendly and are very good at what they do.

I was able to see sea turtles. I was told by the foreign staff that I needed to be able to swim breaststroke, but the Japanese staff provided a float, allowing me to enjoy myself. The sea was somewhat murky, so I would recommend other beaches for those who really want to see clear water.

ウミガメを見ることができました。
平泳ぎが出来ないとダメと外人スタッフから
言われましたが、日本人スタッフがフロートを
出してくれて楽しむことができました。
海は多少濁っていましたので本当に透明な海を
見たい人は他のビーチをお勧めします。

I participated in a monitor tour!

Since I was staying at Hilton Village, the pickup was at 5:30 AM from the bus stop at Ilikai Hotel! I was a bit anxious because it was dark outside for such an early gathering, but there were many people at the meeting point, so I didn't need to worry. We took an hour-long bus ride to the location where the boat was. During that time, Julie shared a lot of information about Hawaii to keep us entertained! From dolphin ecology to the history of Oahu and recommended spots... it was definitely worth listening to! Julie was very passionate about her work, and it was clear she wanted us to have a great time. Even though it was our first meeting, she welcomed us warmly like a friend, which made it easy to feel comfortable.

The ocean in October is said to be very cold, and I initially planned not to rent a wetsuit, but it was the right decision to take Julie's recommendation! The ocean in October is really cold!! And within just five minutes of the boat ride, we encountered a pod of dolphins…!! I never expected to meet them so quickly! I hurriedly jumped in, and while swimming with the unfamiliar fins, I heard the signal, "Look down!!" When I looked down, there were so many dolphins!! The dolphins swimming right below me came so close that I could almost reach out and touch them! I never thought I would see them up close like this, but I truly experienced what it feels like to swim with dolphins (*^^*).

I also enjoyed canoeing and stand-up paddleboarding without feeling rushed. The boat staff and the photographer were all very friendly!! They took lots of photos for us (*^^*). There are many dolphin tours available, but if you want to spend a fun day with everyone as a group, I definitely recommend enrolling in Dolphin University!

モニターツアーで参加させて頂きました！

ヒルトンビレッジに宿泊だったのでイリカイホテルのバス停朝5時半のピックアップでした！
朝早くの集合で外は真っ暗で不安でしたが、集合場所には沢山の人が集まっていてそんな心配は要りませんでした。
バスに乗ってから1時間かけてボートがある場所まで移動します。その間退屈しないようにジュリさんが沢山ハワイについてお話してくださいました！イルカの生態話やオアフ島の歴史にお勧めのスポットまで…この話だけでも聞く価値アリです！
ジュリさんはとても仕事熱が強く、私達を楽しませようとしてくれてるのが伝わりました。初めて会うのに、友達のような暖かい感じで迎えてくれたので、とても馴染みやすかったです。
10月の海はとても寒いらしく、ウェットスーツは借りないつもりでしたが、ジュリさんのお勧めで借りて正解でした！10月の海はとても寒いです！！
そしてボートを走らせ5分もしないうちにイルカの群れが…！！まさかこんなに早く出会えるなんて‼慌てて飛び込み、慣れないフィンを使って泳いでいると、『下ミテー！！』という合図が！！
真下をみると沢山のイルカが！！そして真下を泳いでいたイルカ達は手を伸ばせば届くくらいの近さまで来てくれました‼まさかここまで近くで見れるとは思っていませんでしたが、本当にイルカと一緒に泳ぐ気分を味わえました(*^^*)
カヌーやSUPも時間に急かされる事なくゆっくり楽しめました。
ボートのスタッフさん、カメラマンさん、皆さんとてもフレンドリーです‼
写真もどんどん撮ってくれました(*^^*)
イルカツアーは沢山ありますが、皆と一団になって楽しい１日を過ごしたい方は是非イルカ大学の入学をお勧めします！

The tour was ok. There are a number of things that this group could do to make this a better, more rounded tour. The tour could have picked us up earlier to get us over to Kaneohe and in the water sooner. As it was the tour/adventure felt forced/rushed instead of being a relaxing experience. He equipment provided could have been of a better quality. Perhaps more time snorkeling for what is billed as a snorkelling adventure would have been better. The crew on the boat were good and tried to make things enjoyable for everyone.

The dolphin I wanted to see the most wasn't there. It's disappointing, but there's nothing that can be done, I guess? I encountered sea turtles both on the ocean floor and at the surface; it was my first experience. The staff were young and showed us songs and dances, and they also prepared water slides and kayaks, which was fun. Next time, I definitely want to see the dolphins!

一番見たかったイルカはいませんでした。残念ですが、致し方なし？かな？です。
ウミガメは海底と海面で遭遇、初体験でした。
ただスタッフの方々は若く歌や踊りを見せてくれたり、ウォータースライダーやカヤック等も準備して頂き、楽しかったです。
次回は是非イルカと！

The sea was very rough due to the rain the day before, but I was glad to see dolphins and sea turtles! I thought I would like to go again when I come to Hawaii next time♡

前日の雨で海が大荒れで、大変でしたが、イルカ、ウミガメを見れて良かったです！
またハワイに来た時はもう1度行きたいと思いました♡

Everything was awesome! Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Burgers were good too.

As a family who loves snorkeling, we brought our own gear from Japan to join the tour!

The other passengers were of various ages and nationalities, including quite an elderly gentleman. For beginners, they provided thorough instructions on how to wear the mask, which was reassuring. However, all the explanations were in the captain's fast-paced English. (laughs)

We snorkeled at two spots, depending on the sea conditions. The first location was near the Pu'uhonua o Hōnaunau National Historical Park. There were many large coral reefs and a variety of colorful tropical fish! It was such a beautiful spot that we lost track of time.

The second spot was about a 20-minute boat ride away, where lava from Kilauea flowed into the sea decades ago. There were large, round rocks that had cooled and solidified, making it a fun place to explore the terrain. There, we spotted sea turtles! We watched them from a distance so as not to disturb them. Seeing the turtles swim was like watching them soar through the sky, which was incredibly soothing.

When the captain called out that it was lunchtime, we got back on the boat to find smoke rising from it. We enjoyed a buffet-style hamburger lunch with beef patties and chicken grilled by the crew, along with fresh vegetables! It was surprisingly delicious, far exceeding our expectations! The homemade taro chips on the side were also very tasty.

As everyone reluctantly left the sea, the boat headed back to the dock. Along the way, we spotted a pod of dolphins and took some time for dolphin watching, and we made a quick stop at the Captain Cook monument before returning.

The tour lasted about five hours, but time flew by so quickly that we even discussed going again during our stay! (laughs) It was an incredibly satisfying tour! I will definitely participate again when I visit the Big Island!

シュノーケル好きの私たち親子は日本からマイ器材を持って参加！

ほかの乗船客は年齢も国籍も様々。
かなり年配のおじいちゃんもいました。
シュノーケル初心者の方にはマスクの付け方などのレクチャーもしっかりしてくださり安心。
ただし説明はすべて船長の早口な英語です。（笑）

シュノーケルポイントは海況を見て2箇所。
1箇所目はホナウナウ国立歴史公園の近く。
大きなサンゴの棚がたくさんあり、色とりどりの熱帯魚もたくさん！
時間を忘れてしまうほど美しいポイントでした。

2箇所目はさらに20分ほどボートを走らせ、先ほどとは一転
何十年か前にキラウエアからの溶岩が海に流れ込んだと言う場所。
冷えて固まった大きな丸い岩がゴロゴロと落ちており、地形を楽しむようなポイントです。
そこではウミガメたちを発見！彼らの邪魔にならないよう、遠くから見つめていました。
ウミガメが泳ぐ姿はまるで空を羽ばたいているようで、とても癒されました。

船長からランチタイムだぞー！と声をかけられ海から上がると、船からもくもくと煙が。
船員さんが焼いてくれたビーフパティやチキンと一緒にフレッシュな野菜を挟む
バイキング形式のハンバーガーランチ！
これが予想をはるかに超える美味しさでビックリ！
サイドの自家製タロイモチップスもとても美味しかったです。

皆が海を名残惜しんでいるところでボートは桟橋に向けて出発。
途中イルカの群れを見つけてしばしイルカウォッチングしたり、
キャプテンクックのモニュメントに寄り道したりしながら戻りました。

5時間ほどのツアーでしたが本当にあっっと言う間に時間が過ぎ、
滞在中もう一回行っちゃう？と話題が出たほど（笑）大満足のツアーでした！
またハワイ島に行った際は絶対に参加します！

First time going on a snorkeling tour and it was a blast! Beautiful boat and weather! The crew kirk and Kyle were amazing hosts. Could not ask for a better experience!

The waves were choppy due to the rain, and I got seasick! The water was murky, so I couldn't see any dolphins! The water temperature was low, and it was really cold, which was disappointing!

雨の影響で波があり、酔いました！水も濁ってイルカに逢えませんでした！ 水温も低く凄く寒くて残念でした！

We headed to Manta Point by boat, and there were many boats that seemed to be on similar tours. I was moved to see large mantas several times.

マンタポイントまで船で向かいますが
同様のツアーらしき船が沢山います。
大きなマンタが何度か見れ感動
しました。

The explanation bus provided clear information for those who are new to dolphins and snorkeling.

I was able to see dolphins very closely several times, which was incredibly moving. However, I was disappointed that I couldn't see any turtles, as I believe we were supposed to. It might have been because we had a hard time spotting the dolphins at first. Also, perhaps due to the location, there weren't many fish around.

You can rent a wetsuit for $10 per person, which is advisable since there are many jellyfish. The wetsuit is shorter than shorts, so if you're concerned, it's better to bring something that covers your legs.

During our free time, I was very satisfied with the amount of time we could spend on stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) and kayaking. The hamburgers and pineapples for lunch were also very sweet and delicious.

The staff members were very kind, and I had a wonderful time. Thank you! I would like to participate in other activities the next time I visit Hawaii.

イルカやシュノーケルに関して初めてのかたでもわかりやすいようにせつめいバスでしてくれていました。

イルカはすごく近くで数回見る事が出来てとても感動しました。
ただ、カメも本来は見ることができるはずでしたが、最初イルカを中々見れなかったせいか
カメが見れなかったのは残念でした。
あとは、場所柄なのかほとんど魚はいませんでした。

ウェットスーツを１人１０ドルでレンタルできるのでクラゲも多いしかりたほうがいいです。
下が半ズボンより短い長さなので不安でしたら自分で足が隠れるものをもっていったほうがいいです。

自由時間にはＳＵＰとカヤックも満足するくらい行う事が出来てとても満足しました。
お昼ご飯のハンバーガーやパイナップルもとっても甘くておいしかったです。

スタッフの方々もとても優しくて、とても楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。ありがとうございます。
またハワイにいった際にはほかのアクティビティにも参加してみたいです。

I've been on the boat for 7 hours, and since most of that time is spent traveling at high speed, it can get a bit boring. In that case, being able to have fun conversations with the other 20 or so passengers is key. The staff is very friendly, you can see dolphins, you can go snorkeling, and making your own sandwiches for lunch was enjoyable. Overall, I had a great time.

7時間船に乗っているがそのほとんどが高速の移動時間のため、やや飽きる。その場合には一緒に乗っている他の20名以上のお客さんと楽しく会話できるかがポイントか。スタッフはとてもフレンドリー、いるかも見れる、シュノーケリングもできる、昼のサンドイッチも自分で作るのが楽しく全体としては楽しめました。

The weather was nice, and thanks to our guide, we were able to enjoy ourselves until the end. Unfortunately, we didn't get to see any sea turtles, but we were able to see quite a variety of colorful fish.

天気も良く、ガイドのかたのおかげで最後まで楽しませてもらえました。海ガメには残念ながら会えませんでしたが色とりどりの魚を結構見れました。

It was an interesting experience. We enjoyed it but a couple people did get sick on the long boat ride. Lots of mantas rays showed up and swam with us.

A fun couple of hours snorkelling. Its expensive but enjoyable and memorable

we were fortunate to see 2 species of dolphins, a humpback whale and sea turtles! The 3 women who were on board- the photographer, the captain, and our tour guide were all super friendly and knowledgeable. If you are looking to see Koran of fish in the water and sea life, this is not the tour but if you are looking to see some mammals and hop in the Ayer from time to time then this is it!
