All Reviews for Snorkeling Cruises & Tours

Frantastic. Trip could not have. Been better well worth the money

Trip was great captain Jon was funny/informative. Chelsea and Rachael were both awesome would definitely book again and look forward to seeing them all soon

I only saw the dolphin swimming on the seabed from a distance, but the sea turtle swam very close, and it was a great experience.

イルカは海底を泳いでるところを遠くから見るだけでしたが、ウミガメがすごく近くを泳いでて、良い体験が出来ました。

The weather was not favorable, the sea was cold, and the wind was blowing, so it was really cold.
Perhaps it was the wrong time of year, but I couldn't even see the sandy beach.
It felt far from the image in the photos.

天候に恵まれず、海は冷たく風も吹いて、とにかく寒かったです。
時期が悪かったのか砂浜も見れなかったです。
写真のイメージとは程遠いかんじでした。

The weather was nice, the ocean was beautiful, and the guide was very kind. The lunch was delicious, and it was convenient to have transportation to the hotel. The water level was about knee to thigh height for everyone. It was my first time participating, but I would like to join again when I go to Hawaii.

お天気もよく、海もきれいで、ガイドも方もとても親切でした。
ランチも美味しく、ホテルまで送迎があったので便利です。
水位は、みなさん膝上～太ももくらいだったと思います。
初めての参加でしたが、またハワイへ行く際は、参加したいと思います。

I was satisfied to be able to meet Dolphin Sensei! I would have been even more satisfied if I could swim with the dolphins up close. It was truly fulfilling to see the turtles up close as well.

無事イルカ先生に会うことができ満足でした！
もっと近くでイルカと泳げれば大満足でした。
亀も近くで見られて本当に充実しました。

Another snorkeling tour I had booked was canceled the day before, and I was in a bit of a bind. I searched online just in case, and found a tour that I could join the next day, so I signed up. I thought it would be nice just to get on the boat and go snorkeling, but it turned out to be even better with drinks and cruising while listening to music. I had a great time. We were the only Japanese people there, but that also added to the overseas experience, which was nice.

別のシュノーケリングの付いた観光ツアーが、前日に中止になってしまい、困ってたところダメ元で検索したら翌日でも参加可能だったので申し込みました。ボートに乗れて、シュノーケリングできればいいやーて思ってましたが、それ以上にお酒も飲めて音楽を聴きながらのクルージングがあったので、すごく楽しかったです。日本人は私たちだけでしたが、それもまた海外気分を味わえてよかったです。

Twelve family members from 3 to75! As advertised, lots of turtles, snacks, drink variety. Great crew, on time, very happy with the whole experience. Would definitely do it again!

Thanks to the cheerful guide with a Kansai dialect, it was a fun tour with a lively atmosphere. The sea was perfectly beautiful! We were able to watch a lot of sea turtles in real life! It was enjoyable. I think everyone should participate at least once. However, my honest impression is that the main point of this tour is the tide level at the sandbar. I decided to join because the online forecast predicted a tide level of about 50 cm when I made the reservation, but the actual water level on the day was like a "deep pool." It seems that encountering a scene like the one on the poster would require quite a bit of luck.

As a bonus: I was very excited when a sea turtle, which rarely approaches people, touched my feet while I was floating in the water towards the end of the tour.

関西弁の女性の明るいガイドさんのおかげで、陽気な雰囲気で楽しいツアーでした。
海は完璧にキレイ！
ウミガメも実際たくさんウォッチできました！
楽しかったです。
一度は参加されるといいと思います。
ただこのツアーのポイントはサンドバーにおける潮位のみかなというのが率直な感想です。
予約時ネットで50cm程度の潮位予想だったので参加を決めましたが
当日の現地での実際の水かさは「深いプール」状態でした。
実際ポスターのような光景はよほど運がよくなければ遭遇できないのでしょう。

おまけ：ツアー終盤水中に浮かんでいた私の足に
めったにヒトに寄り付かないというウミガメ君がタッチしていってくれたのには大感激でした。

We started our tour from Wailea by rental car, visiting places like the Tree Tunnel, Hanapepe Valley, and Old Koloa Town, with a lunch break along the way, and reached Port Allen in about four hours.

In front of the meeting point at the Holoholo Charters office, there’s a Kauai Chocolate shop! I was really impressed by the samples (laughs). When we arrived at 1:00 PM, newlywed couples and others began to gather.

The captain of the cruiser and the female crew were friendly and kind. Of course, the views of the Na Pali Coast were stunning. Although it was the rainy season in November and it rained a bit, it stopped quickly, allowing us to see a beautiful full-size rainbow. We even encountered dolphins welcoming us! The sunset provided an incredible photo opportunity.

It can be quite bumpy. Most people are fine, but if you're worried about seasickness, I recommend taking motion sickness medication.

I highly recommend this experience. Be aware that drinks like beer and wine are unlimited!

レンタカーでワイルアから出発ツリートンネル～ハナペペ渓谷～オールドコロアタウン～など観光、途中昼食、４時間くらいでとポートアレン。
集合場所のホロホロチャーターズの事務所前にカウアイチョコレートのショップあり！試食で大感激（笑）。１：００PMについて待ってると新婚のカップルなどなど集合してきました。
クルーザーのキャプテンや女性クルーも気さくで親切。もちろんナパリコーストの景観は素晴らしく。１１月雨季とのことで雨が降ったがすぐ止みおかげできれいな虹がホールサイズで見ることができました。イルカの歓迎にも遭遇！もちろんサンセットはまたとない写真が撮れました。
かなり揺れます。ほとんどの人は平気ですが船酔い心配なかたは酔い止め薬を。
絶対オススメです。飲み物はビール、ワイン、など飲み放題なのでご注意を。

I searched for a snorkeling tour where I could see turtles and chose one. I was half-expecting to encounter turtles, but I actually did! It was truly a wonderful memory.

I can't swim at all, but I've experienced snorkeling with a life jacket about ten times both domestically and internationally. They taught me how to wear the mask very carefully, and the equipment was really clean. The mask didn't fog up at all during the experience, which was comfortable!

When they told me to swim from one end to the other, I honestly wondered what I should do, but I managed to swim all the way across thanks to the supportive instructor and the lovely fish.

For the first time, I panicked when I couldn't breathe and ended up swallowing a lot of seawater when I tried to take a breath. That fear lingered for a while, but I was able to enjoy myself, so I was very satisfied.

Even in the morning, the beach gets crowded, and the number of people snorkeling increases, so by the second half, I felt like there was a lot of sand stirring in the water, which made visibility a bit worse.

I highly recommend this for those who want to try snorkeling for the first time or enjoy it safely overseas, as they are very attentive. I definitely want to use their services again when I go to Hawaii next time.

亀が見れるシュノーケルツアーを探して選びました。亀に出会えるかな？期待半分でしたが亀に出会えました。ホントにいい思い出です。
わたしは全く泳げないですが、ライフジャケットを着用してのシュノーケルは国内外で10回ほど経験あります。
マスクのつけかたなど本当にとても丁寧に教えていただけて、道具もとても綺麗でした。マスクも途中で曇るなんてこともなく快適！
ここを端から端まで泳ぐのよ〜と言われたときは正直どうしようかと思いましたが、見事に泳ぎきりました。
サポート上手な先生とすてきなお魚のおかげです。
今回初めて、息が吸えず、次吸ったときには海水を大量に飲んでしまいパニックになりました。その恐怖感からその後は不安も消えませんでしたが、無事に楽しむことができたのでとても満足です。
午前中利用でも、ビーチにはどんどん人も溢れ、シュノーケルされてる人数も増えるので
後半には、海のなかも砂がたくさん舞っていて少し視界が悪くなるような気がします。
初めてのシュノーケルや、海外でも安心して楽しみたい方にはとっても丁寧なのでおすすめです！
次回ハワイに行くときも必ずお世話になりたいです。

We went to Hawaii for our honeymoon and entered the prestigious Dolphin University!!
The atmosphere in the car was so fun, and we arrived in no time!

On the way to the dolphin point by boat, I was nervous about whether we would see them, but that day we were able to see dozens of dolphins, which was truly moving!!
The dolphins really came close to us!

Snorkeling was also great; we got to see beautiful fish and even sea turtles up close, which made us very satisfied (^ - ^)/

Having fun on the boat was also enjoyable!
I want to participate again!!

Thank you very much.

ハネムーンで初ハワイで、名門イルカ大学に入りました！！
車内から、とても楽しい雰囲気で、あっという間に到着しました！

船でイルカのポイントまで行く途中、会えるかドキドキでしたが、この日は何十匹もイルカを見ることができ感動しました！！
ホントにイルカが寄ってきてくれました！

シューノーケルも綺麗な魚達や、ウミガメも間近でみる事ができ、大満足でした(^-^)/

船の上でタンズも楽しかったです！
また、参加したいです！！

ありがとうございました。

During the journey to the spot where you can see dolphins, we danced on the boat, and the time flew by. The guides were all cheerful and friendly, and their Japanese was excellent. You can purchase the photos and videos taken by the guides as an option, and they will put the data on a cute USB. We saw plenty of dolphins, as well as sea turtles and fish, and there were activities like kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding, so I think it's a great deal with so much to enjoy beyond just snorkeling!

イルカが観れるスポットまでの移動中は船の上でダンスしたり、移動中もあっとゆうまです。
ガイドさんはみなさん陽気でいい人ばかりで、日本語もお上手です。
ガイドさんが撮ってくれる写真や動画をオプションで買え、かわいいUSBにデータを入れてくれます。
イルカもたくさん見れて、ホヌや、魚も見れ、カヤックやSUP滑り台など、シュノーケリング以外にも楽しめるので、かなりお得だと思います！

The staff was super enthusiastic, had good music playing and really contributed to a good time! All of us got to see at least 7 turtles and swim within a meters distance when they came up for air, along with all the colorful fish. Truly an amazing experience!

The weather was great that day, and the waves were calm, allowing us to have a wonderful snorkeling experience. They guided us to spots that we wouldn't have been able to reach on our own, making it a fantastic tour to join! The two guides took many photos for us, and thanks to them, we were able to capture beautiful memories with the sea turtles.

この日は非常にお天気も良く、波も穏やかだったため、楽しいシュノーケリングを体験させていただけました。自分たちだけでは辿り着けなそうなスポットまでしっかり案内してくださり、参加して大正解のツアーでした！
ガイドのお二人もたくさんお写真を撮ってくださり、おかげでウミガメとの素敵な思い出が形に残せました。

Due to the typhoon, I was worried about the high waves and whether we could go into the sea, but it was a good decision to enter the water and see the dolphins. We also got to see the honu, and it was the best tour ever.

台風の影響で波が高く、海に入れるか心配しましたが、好判断で海に入りイルカを見ることが出来ました。ホヌも観れたし、最高のツアーでした。

We used this for our honeymoon trip.
As part of the basic tour, we had a snorkeling and snuba experience around Molokini Island.
Honestly, my impression was that there weren't many fish there.

After that, we moved to a spot where we could see sea turtles, and it was mentioned that snorkeling or snuba could be done for an additional fee.
At first, I was a bit disappointed because I thought the price included everything, but in the end, I was able to swim with two sea turtles, and there were also some lucky moments where we saw dolphins and whales from the boat, so it turned out to be a satisfying tour.
The tour instructors were generally cheerful people, so we had a great time.

新婚旅行で利用させていただきました。
基本のツアーとしては、モロキニ島の周辺でのシュノーケル+スヌーバ体験。
ここでは正直そんなに魚はいないなというのが正直な感想でした。

その後で海亀の出るスポットに移動して、追加料金でシュノーケルorスヌーバができるということでした。
最初は全部込みでの値段だと思っていただけにがっかりする気持ちもありましたが、結果としては2匹の海亀と一緒に泳ぐこともできましたし、それ以外にも偶然的な要素はあったかと思いますがイルカやクジラも船の上からですが見ることができたので満足のいくツアーになりました。
基本的にツアーのインストラクターも陽気な人たちだったので、楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。

Amazing experience made better by sharing with friends and family. We would definitely do it again!

ハワイで急遽明日シュノーケルでもしたいと思って調べたらちょうどぴったりなプランがすぐに見つかったから嬉しかったです。また利用します

I participated with my husband. There were about 40 participants, but we were the only Japanese. The staff doesn't understand Japanese, but it's not a matter of life and death. It would be even better if you can speak English at a conversational level.

On the way to Na Pali Coast, there are points where you can go snorkeling. If you're lucky, you might swim with turtles and dolphins. It's a valuable experience!

The breathtaking views of Na Pali Coast will be etched in your memory! The boat goes at a decent speed, so be careful of seasickness. By the way, I personally got seasick due to fatigue from work the day before and lack of sleep.

主人と参加しました。
参加者は40名前後いましたが、
日本人は私たちのみでした。
日本語はスタッフに通じませんが
死活問題ではないです。ある程度日常会話レベル英語が話せればなお良し。

ナ・パリ・コーストへ行く途中、シュノーケリングを出来るポイントがあります。
運が良ければタートルやイルカと一緒に泳げます。
貴重な経験です◉

ナ・パリ・コーストの絶景は目に焼き付きます！
船のスピードもそこそこ出るので船酔いに注意です。
ちなみに前日の仕事疲れと睡眠不足で私自身船酔いしました。

As a Solo Traveler, I always worry about being the odd man out. Dan was excellent about making me feel like one of the crew. This was an amazing experience and I will definitely do it again.

The tour was great, but the weather wasn't favorable... He saw sea turtles while snorkeling! If the weather had been a little better, I would have been satisfied, but there's nothing we can do about it! Haha

I made some good memories!

ツアーは良かったが、天気が恵まれず、、、
彼はシュノーケリングで、海亀を見てましたよ！
天気さえもう少し良ければ、満足だったのですが、仕方がない事ですよね！笑

良い思い出が出来ました！

I wasn't expecting white, shallow sandy beaches at this time of year, but I was surprised to see turtles so close! (laughs) The staff were mostly Japanese and very kind, making my time enjoyable. During snorkeling, I was able to see several turtles, which was a great experience. Thanks to that, I can now spot turtles from the 13th floor lagoon of my hotel in Waikiki! (laughs) I also learned some mini facts about Hawaii that Japanese people might not know, like the "one turtle, one lucky" saying and the fines for harming turtles, which was great. I go to Hawaii every year, and I've already decided to return next year!

時期的に白い浅い砂浜の期待はしていませんでしたが、亀がこんな近くに現れるとは！と、ビックリしました(笑)
スタッフの方は、日本人が多く、とても優しく、楽しく過ごせました。
シュノーケリングでも、亀を何匹も見ることができ、良い体験ができました。
おかげで、ワイキキのホテル13階のラグーンからも、亀を見つけることができるようになりました(笑)
1亀1ラッキーや、亀への罰金について、日本人が知らないハワイのミニ情報を教えて頂け、良かったです。
毎年ハワイに行っていますが、来年もリピ決定です！

When we gathered, the guide mentioned that on the same tour a few days prior, they hadn't encountered any dolphins, which made me a bit worried. However, we were lucky to see many dolphins!

After heading out to sea, I learned that usually, they swim slowly towards where the dolphins are, but that day, there were unusually many dolphins coming towards us.

While we were fortunate, I believe it was also thanks to the guide who chose that location. The guide decides where to wait for the dolphins.

The boat ride took about 30 to 40 minutes, but the guide shared various stories about the Big Island, dolphins, and whales, making the journey enjoyable. It was also nice that it wasn't a large group tour, but rather a small one. Thank you very much.

集合したときガイドさんに、私が参加した数日前の同じツアーでは全くイルカに出会えなかったと聞いて心配になりましたが、運よくたくさんのイルカに会えました。
沖にでてからも、いつもはイルカのいるほうへ少しずつ泳いで移動するそうですが、その日はいつになくたくさんのイルカが来てくれてたそうで、イルカのほうから寄ってきてくれる感じでした。

運もよかったですが、その場所を選んでくれたガイドさんのおかげでもあると思います。どのあたりでイルカを待つかはガイドさんの判断だそうです。

船での移動は30～40分ほどありましたが、ガイドさんもハワイ島やイルカやクジラのいろんな話をしてくれたので、移動中も楽しく過ごせました。一度に大勢参加するツアーではなく少人数でのツアーだったのもよかったです。
ありがとうございました。

The water level this time was waist-deep, but it was very beautiful. I had heard that it wouldn't look as good as in photos, so I wasn't disappointed. The colors of the sea and sky were also very beautiful. I was very satisfied to see sea turtles and manta rays. I didn't go snorkeling because I can't swim, but my colleagues were thrilled to see sea turtles and beautiful fish up close. The staff were very cheerful and energetic, which was great. They were very kind, and I would definitely like to join this crew again when the opportunity arises.

今回の水位は腰下でしたがとても綺麗でした。
なかなか写真みたいにはならないと聞いてましたのでがっかり感はありませんでした。また、海と空の色がとても綺麗でした。ウミガメやマンタも見れて大満足です。シュノーケリングは泳げないからしませんでしたが、同僚たちはまじかてウミガメや綺麗な魚を見れて喜んでいました。
スタッフの方たちはとても明るく、テンション高めで対応してくれて良かったです。とても親切でまた機会あるときは是非このクルー達と参加したいです。

Three manta rays appeared and circled around us, which was exciting. Two family members got seasick and seemed to need motion sickness medication. The boat was fast, and since it was nighttime, it was quite a unique experience. There was no explanation for snorkeling, so those who are not accustomed to it might panic, especially since it was in the pitch dark sea, and there were elderly people who seemed to be in distress. It might be worth considering this more carefully. I was fine since I am a diver, but for those who are not familiar with marine sports, the spray from the boat constantly hitting their faces could be tough. After it was over, despite being cold, we were handed cold bottled water. The Japanese staff were cheerful and very kind, and I enjoyed our conversations. At the end, there was an explanation about tips, and I had prepared some, but when I got off the boat and changed, there were no staff left as they had already left for the next tour. This meant I had to prepare the tip while feeling cold and drenched, which was a bit challenging considering I had a lot of luggage.

３枚のマンタが現れて、周りを旋回してくれて、エキサイティングでした。
家族が２名船に酔ってしまいました。酔いどめが必要なようです。
ボートは高速で、夜ですし、なかなかできない経験です。
シュノーケルの説明などないので、シュノーケルに慣れていない方は、

I participated in the tour with my 0-year-old and 6-year-old, and while I had some concerns, we drove to the dock with a rental car.

The meeting place was easy to find, and there was a very friendly and approachable Japanese guide, which made me feel at ease when boarding the boat. We brought a stroller, and the staff helped us out, even carrying my child while I was snorkeling, which was very kind and made me happy☆

My 6-year-old had plenty of snorkeling experience, but it was their first time snorkeling in deep water, and they were quite scared. However, they were super excited and enjoyed themselves at the second turtle spot.

The boat also had a slide, and both my husband and 6-year-old were really pumped about it.

I wasn't expecting much from lunch, but the burgers were really delicious. After snorkeling, there was unlimited alcohol! As a heavy drinker, I was quite pleased with this!!

I highly recommend this for both adults and families!

今回0歳、6歳を連れてのツアー参加で不安もありましが、レンタカーにて船着き場へ。

集合場所もわかりやすく、大変気さくで話しやすい日本人ガイドさんもいらっしゃったので安心して乗船。
ベビーカーで行きましたが手伝ってくれたり、シュノーケルしてる間も抱っこしてスタッフの方が面倒を見てくださったり、大変皆さん親切で嬉しかったです☆

6歳児はシュノーケル経験は豊富でしたが、深い海のシュノーケルは初めてで大変怖がっていましたが
二つ目のウミガメスポットから大興奮で楽しんでいました。

船に滑り台もついており、パパと6歳児はかなりテンション上がってました。

ランチも期待してなかったのですがバーガーが大変美味しかったです。
シュノーケル後はお酒も飲み放題！これは酒豪の私としてはかなり嬉しかったです！！

大人同士でも家族連れでもオススメです！

The sandbar had water up to my waist, but I was very satisfied to see the emerald sea. I was also very pleased with the hospitality of the crew. I would love to participate again if I have the chance.

サンドバーは腰の高さまで水がありましたが、
エメラルドの海が見られて大変満足でした。
クルーの皆さんのホスピタリティにも大満足。
機会があればまた参加したいです。

It was really great. The dolphins and sea turtles were wonderful.
You should definitely pay the $10 and rent a wetsuit. As a result, the only people who stayed in the water until the end were those wearing wetsuits. Only 5 or 6 out of 34 people rented them, but most people were really cold. The hamburger was delicious, but I would have preferred mineral water over the strange juice. Almost everyone wasn't drinking it.

すごく良かったです。イルカにウミガメ、すごく素敵でした。
$10ケチらず払って、ウェットスーツは借りるべきです。結果、最後まで海に入ってたのは、ウェットスーツを着てる人だけでした。5~6人/34人中、しか借りてませんでしたが、ほとんどの人は、すごく寒がってました。ハンバーガーは美味しかったですが、変なジュースよりミネラルウォーターが欲しかったで。ほとんどみんな飲んでなかった。

I was very nervous about this as I had never done it before. Dan is a great instructor, very patient and informative. I would do this again.
