All Reviews for Snorkeling Cruises & Tours

On the day of the event, the weather was somewhat unstable, with a mix of clouds and sunshine, and it felt a bit chilly. Since it was the afternoon, the sandbar was deeper than expected, and the water level was high enough that women could barely keep their faces above water. We did see sea turtles, but snorkeling was interrupted due to a massive jellyfish bloom, causing nearly half of the participants to get stung and panic ensued, leading to a halt after about ten minutes. Since we are dealing with nature, such situations are somewhat unavoidable, but I was disappointed as I was looking forward to snorkeling. The staff's response was very good, so I would like to try again if the opportunity arises.

当日は天候がやや不安定で曇ったり、晴れたりと微妙な天候で、やや寒い思いをしました。
サンドバー自体も午後の時間帯であったので、思ったよりも深く、女性は顔が出るのが精一杯まで水位が高かったです。
海ガメは見れましたが、シュノーケリングはクラゲが大量発生し、参加者の半数近くが刺されてパニック状況になり、10分程度で中断となってしまいました。
自然が相手なので、ある程度こういうケースもあるのは致し方無い事ですが、シュノーケリングを楽しみにしていたので残念でした。
スタッフの方の対応はとても良かったので、また機会があったらチャレンジしたいです。

We participated as a family of three. The sea was beautiful, and we played volleyball on the water, which was a fun first experience. Luckily, we also got to see sea turtles, which was great. I was impressed by the staff's kind and attentive service. Oh, and the hamburgers for lunch were delicious too. I would love to participate again if I have the chance.

家族3人で参加しました。海は綺麗で、海の上でバレーボールをしましたが初めての経験で楽しかったです。運良く海亀も見られて良かったです。
また、スタッフの方々の親切でしっかりした対応には感心しました。あっお昼食のハンバーガーも美味かったですよ。機会が有ればまた参加したいと思います。

The captain and crew were exceptional. The snorkeling was awesome, we even got to swim with turtles. We found spinner Dolphins on the way to Lanai that were fun to watch. The BBQ was good, hot dogs and Hamburgers and the morning food was fruit and muffins/donuts. The water was warm and there was lots to see. The boat had a slide that was fun to slide down into the water (optional).

Great attentive staff. Great venues at Molokini and Turtletown. I swam with a turtle. The food was great- best burger I've had in a while. The boat ride was great. I liked having the option of being out of the sun on the main deck or outside on the the deck or up on top and there was plenty of seating. It was nice having a restroom available. We really enjoyed it and I would highly recommend this trip for all ages. There was a toddler on board and some older people who did not swim but stayed on the boat and still had the option to view fish through the glass bottom window.

I was really able to swim with dolphins! On the day I participated, we encountered dolphins right after the boat left the port. I was surprised to see dolphins swimming in such a place! Under the guidance of Daisuke, who loves dolphins, we positioned the boat well and entered the water, but it was challenging to avoid splashing when entering. Timing for the dolphins to come was also tricky, so it seems important to keep your face in the water and look around while you're in the sea. There were two divers, but I think practicing to swim to some extent beforehand would allow you to swim more with the dolphins. The baby dolphins were jumping on the surface and were incredibly cute! Above all, when I heard the dolphins' voices underwater, it felt mystical. I can't guarantee it, but they really work hard to help you swim with the dolphins, so I believe it's definitely worth participating if you want to swim with them!

本当にイルカと泳ぐことができました！
今回参加した日は港から船が出たすぐの部分でイルカに会うことができました。こんなところで自然のイルカが泳いでるの！？とビックリしました。イルカ大好きダイスケさんの指示のもと船を良い部分に付けて海に降りるのですが、着水時に水しぶきが出ないようにしなければいけずそれが難しかったです。イルカが来るタイミングも難しいので海にいるときは常に顔を水につけてキョロキョロすることが大事みたいです。ダイバーさんは二人いましたがある程度泳げるように練習しておくとよりイルカと泳げると思います。イルカは赤ちゃんイルカがたくさん水面を跳ねててとても可愛かったです！何より海の中でイルカの声を聞けたときは神秘的なものを感じました。絶対とは言いませんがイルカと泳げるようかなり頑張ってくれるのでイルカと泳ぎたい方はぜひ参加する価値ありだと思います！

When we arrived at the sandbar, it started to rain, and we couldn't see the sandbar in its original form. However, compared to the surrounding sea, the color was clearly different and very beautiful.

サンドバーに着くと雨が降り出し、本来のサンドバーの姿を見ることが出来ませんでした。ただ、周りの海と比べて、明らかに色が異なりすごく綺麗でした。

The friendly and smart little dolphin was very cute! ╰(*´︶`*)╯♡ I want to come back to see you again next year, so please wait for me~ (^з^)-☆

人なつこくて かしこいイルカちゃん、とても可愛かったです╰(*´︶`*)╯♡
また来年 会いに行きたいと思います、待っててね〜(^з^)-☆

We were able to enjoy ourselves fully as adults because the staff also took care of the children and grandmother. I'm grateful to the wonderful staff. We had the chance to meet many dolphins and had enough time to swim, creating the best memories!

子供と祖母の面倒も見て頂けたので大人も存分に楽しめて、素敵なスタッフさん達に感謝です。
沢山のイルカに出会える事が出来て、十分な時間泳げ最高の思い出が作れました！

We went with my 7-year-old son and my husband!
I was truly moved to see so many dolphins!
Although my child can't swim, he had fun swimming with the life jacket and floaties they provided.
With the help of the staff, he was able to swim without me having to stay right by his side the whole time,
and I was also very excited and enjoyed being so close to so many dolphins!
I want to participate again!

7歳の息子と主人の3人で！
いるかいっぱい会えて、本当に感動しました！
子供は泳げないのですが、貸してくれるライフジャケットと浮き棒で泳いで楽しんでました♫
スタッフの方に連れらて泳いだりと親もずっと子供に着きっきりまでにはならず、
私自身もいるかの近さ、多さにすごく興奮し楽しむことができました！
また参加したいです！

First time to the islands for my fiancee and I, and we weren't sure on what to do. So many different activities and excursions to choose from, it's like how do you know which one to do???
Well, we are sure glad we chose this one!!! So much fun in every aspect!! The scenery is amazing in itself so it was hard to complain. But the tour was awesome, we loved hanging out at the sandbar, having a few drinks, taking great pictures, and playing volleyball. Oh and the lunch....seriously one of the best burgers I've ever had!! Then snorkeling on the reef was so much fun!! Got to see so much marine life and also the sea turtles!! But most of all what made the tour truly amazing, was the awesome staff! They made us feel so welcome!! They were super friendly, truly knowledgeable, and all around good people.
If their is one thing I took away from this tour is that, the staff/people make it truly wonderful. This tour is a MUST is you're going to Oahu.

This was the most fun few hours. The snorkeling was great and the guides very knowledgeable and fun. I loved it

I was very moved to be able to see dolphins up close in the ocean. At one point, a small child started crying, but thanks to that, it seemed like the dolphins came closer, and I was able to experience their gentleness as well. 😊

イルカを海に入って間近で見ることができてとても感動しました。途中小さいお子さんが泣いてしまったのですが、そのおかげでイルカが近くに寄ってきてくれたみたいで、イルカの優しさにも触れられました(^^)

First of all, it was fun heading out to sea while watching the sunset sink into the ocean! We stopped the boat and waited for it to get dark, and then it was time to go underwater! I was so happy when 2 to 3 large mantas came close to us. On the way there, there were a few people who got seasick, so motion sickness medication is a must. I forgot to bring my motion sickness medication for the return trip, so I ended up feeling nauseous on the way back. Also, it gets really cold on the return trip, so I think it's essential to have clothes that you can easily change into or warm clothing on the boat.

まず、海に沈む夕日を見ながら沖へ向かって行くのが楽しかったです！そして船を停めて暗くなるのを待ち、いざ水中へ！とても大きなマンタが2〜3枚来てくれてとっても近くまで来てくれてすごく嬉しかったです。行きの船では船酔いしている方が何名か居たので酔い止めは必須です。私は帰りの酔い止めを持参し忘れた為に帰りは気持ち悪くなってしまいました。そして帰りはすごく寒くなるので船の上で簡単に着替えられる様な服や防寒着は必須だと思いました。

It rained a little the day before, so the water was a bit murky, but the sea was beautiful! The tide was almost high, with water up to chest height, but it felt great! It's reassuring that someone speaks Japanese to guide us! I want to participate again!

前日に少し雨が降って、少し濁っていましたが、海は綺麗でした♡
ほぼ満潮で胸の高さくらいまで水がありましたが、気持ちよかったです！
日本語の方が案内してくださるので安心です！！
また参加したいです(๑'◡͐'๑)

Traveled with my daughter and we both had an amazing day at the sand bar. Crew was great. We saw lots of sea turtles which I really loved.

I requested a pickup service. Even after the scheduled pickup time had passed, I waited for a long time. The receptionist at Royal Cliff was considerate and made an inquiry (they were Japanese). They mentioned that they were running late due to making rounds, but a taxi arrived 30 minutes late. The driver seemed very apologetic.
However, it was such a wonderful sightseeing flight that I didn't mind at all. Thank you, pilot TOSHI. I would definitely like to request this again on another island.

送迎付きでお願いしました。お迎えの時間を過ぎてもずっと待っていました。ロイヤルシークリフのレセプションの方が気を利かせて問い合わせしてくださいました（日本の方でした）。あちこち廻ってるので遅れているとのことでしたが、30分遅れでやって来たのはタクシーでした。凄く申し訳なさそうに謝ってました。
そんなことも全く気にならないほどの素晴らしい遊覧飛行でした。パイロットのTOSHIさん、ありがとうございました。他の島でもまた是非お願いしたいと思います。

The snorkeling tour was truly a wonderful experience.

Thank you very much, Teacher Chieko and Teacher Dan.

I don't think we would have seen the turtles if we had just gone snorkeling on our own.

It was definitely thanks to the experience of the veteran instructors who know the spots well.

If anyone is hesitating, I highly recommend participating!

シュノーケリングツアー、本当に素晴らしい体験ができました

チエコ先生、ダン先生どうもありがとうございました

自分たちで勝手にシュノーケリングするだけでは、亀さんには会えなかったと思います

やはり、ポイントを熟知したベテランインストラクターさんの経験があってのものだと思います

迷っている人がいたら、ぜひ参加されることをおすすめしたいです！

Just me with my two grown sons, amazing experience! Got great footage on our go-pro. Very glad I took 2 bonine beforehand, no motion sickness for me. My other son only took 1 bonine and had to cut out 10 mins early but enjoyed the view from the boat. Crew friendly & helpful:)

The location of the bus stop was a bit unclear the day after arrival, which caused a slight delay, but they were waiting with a sign. Upon arrival, I listened to explanations about the location, rental equipment, and lunch options for about 10 minutes, then placed my valuables in the office locker and walked to the beach, which was about a 5-minute walk away. There was shade, making it comfortable to spend time there. The lunch pizza was freshly baked and delicious, and the deli sandwiches from the other supermarket, along with chips and drinks, were also tasty.

バス停の場所が到着日の翌日で分かりづらく少し時間に遅れてしまったのですが、看板を持って待っていてくれました。到着すると、場所やレンタル用品、ランチのお店の説明を10分程聞いて、貴重品は事務所のロッカーに置いて歩いて5分ほどのビーチへ。木陰があり、過ごしやすかったです。ランチはピザは焼き立てで美味しく、ほかのスーパーのデリサンドもチップスとドリンク付きで美味しかったです。

I participated at the request of my 8-year-old son. I was worried about seasickness, but thanks to the large, stable boat, I didn't feel sick at all. We were able to see dolphins and turtles up close, and we even got to take pictures with them. I thought my 5-year-old son might find it difficult, but with the gentle encouragement and guidance from the staff, he was able to go into the water and see them too.

8歳の息子のリクエストで参加しました。船酔いを心配していましたが、大きな船で安定感のあるタイプのおかげか、全く酔いませんでした。間近でイルカもカメも見る事が出来、一緒に写真を撮ってもらえました。5歳の息子は難しいかな？と思っていましたが、ガイドさん達の優しい言葉がけとご指導で海に入り見ることが出来ました。

Our adventure began with introductions of the captain and his awesome crew. They made sure we knew all the safety procedures and explained all of the gear. We arrived to the spot and the crew jumped into their gear and were ready to go. We had time before our turn so we went snorkeling. The water was so clear! I spotted a turtle right away. We finished snorkeling and then saw another turtle on top of the water. Now it was our turn to go below on the snooba scooter. Each scooter was assigned their own diver. My diver communicated with me the whole time. When it came time to dive, he made sure I knew how to clear the pressure in my ears. Then we shook a metal mesh bag with bread balls in it and it was like we had rung a dinner bell for the fish! They flocked to us and nibbled the bread and sometimes your fingers! It was breathtaking and so exciting! I couldn't stop smiling! The photographer got some wonderful shots of us and the price was so reasonable. As our adventure came to an end, we were heading to the surface when a juvenile turtle came swimming by. I would highly recommend this adventure to everyone. Definitely one not to be missed!

I used this service to visit Kailua Beach, Lanikai Beach, and Kailua Town. Once I arrived and received the explanation, I was free to explore at my own pace until the designated time, so I recommend it for those who prefer to go at their own speed.

The Japanese female staff on-site were kind and provided information on how to get to Lanikai Beach and the hills to be careful of while biking.

As everyone else has mentioned, the lunch pizza was very large and delicious.

カイルアビーチ、ラニカイビーチ、カイルアタウンに行きたく利用しました。
現地に到着し、説明を受けたら時間まで自由に行動出来るので、ご自分でペースで行動したい方にはお勧めです。

現地の女性日本人スタッフが親切で、ラニカイビーチへ行き方や自転車で気をつける坂など教えて頂きました。

みなさんが投稿しているように、ランチのピザはとても大きく美味しかったです。

The Japanese guidance made me feel at ease, and I was able to enjoy plenty of jokes! I was moved to see sea turtles up close!!! The ocean was incredibly beautiful, and it was a precious time!

日本語の案内で安心できたうえに、ジョーク盛りだくさんで笑わせてもらいました！！
ウミガメをめちゃめちゃ近くで見れて感動！！！
海も最高にキレイで貴重な時間でした！

Wonderful experience. I would highly recommend this to anyone

It was our first time snorkeling with kids, and the guides were very kind, making it a fun memory. Although we couldn't see any sea turtles, the guides led us to points where we could see fish and stayed close to the children the whole time. If we have the opportunity to go again, I would definitely like to join this tour!

子連れで初めてのシュノーケリングでしたが、ガイド方にはとても親切にしていただき楽しい思い出となりました。ウミガメを見ることはできませんでしたが、ガイドの方が魚がいるポイントに誘導してくれたり、ずっと子供に寄り添ってくださいました。また行く機会があれば、是非このツアーに参加したいです！

On the way there and back, we passed both close to and far from the cliffs, allowing us to enjoy the mountainside and the distant scenery. It was a comfortable voyage on the clear waters of the sea. While the engine was running, I had a great time getting soaked with seawater on the front deck with people from various countries. We were the only Japanese people on board, but the crew noticed that my companion didn't understand English very well, and I was really happy that they took special care of us.

行きと帰りで、崖の近くも遠くも通ったので、山肌も遠景も楽しめました。
水のきれいな海で快適な航海です。エンジン走行中は、前のデッキでいろんな国の人と海水でびしょ濡れになって大はしゃぎしました。
日本人は私たちだけだったのですが、同行者が英語をよくわかっていないことをクルーが察してくれて、特に気遣ってくれたのが嬉しかったです。

I participated in a snorkeling trip to Molokini Island. I had requested transportation, and they arrived on time, allowing us to board the boat without any issues. It took about an hour by boat to reach Molokini Island, and shortly after boarding, we had breakfast. During the trip, Takako gathered us for an explanation. Since we weren't sitting the whole time, I didn't get seasick.

I was incredibly impressed not by the fish, but by the clarity of the water at Molokini Island! I've been to various seas both domestically and internationally, but I've never seen such clear water; it was amazing. It was so clear that it took my breath away.

Afterward, we had lunch, and the burgers we ate on the boat were exceptional! We moved to another spot, and Takako guided us to see sea turtles, so we were able to see them multiple times. Additionally, when we went, dolphins showed themselves to us!

There were many foreigners on the boat, but Takako was always attentive, so it was perfectly fine. I would love to request this again when I visit Maui.

モロキニ島シュノーケルに参加しました。
送迎もお願いしておりましたが時間通りに来て下さって無事船に乗る事が出来ました。
モロキニ島までは船で一時間程で、乗船してすぐ朝食、途中でタカコさんに召集され説明を受けました。座りっぱなしではないので船酔いはしませんでした。
モロキニ島はお魚ではなくその透明度に非常に感動しました！
国内や海外の様々な海に行きましたが、こんなに透明な海は初めてで素晴らしかったです。
透明過ぎて身がすくむ程です。
その後昼食があり船の上で食べるバーガーは別格です！
別ポイントに移動し海ガメもタカコさんが場所を教えて下さるので何度も見られました。
また、私達が行った時はイルカが姿を見せてくれました！
船には外国人も沢山いますが、タカコさんが常に気を使って下さるので全然大丈夫です。
またマウイ島に行く際はお願いしたいです。

The sandbar's water level was about waist-high, but the clarity was excellent, and I was very satisfied. I was able to see a sea turtle, and snorkeling was a lot of fun with plenty of fish. The hamburgers and beer on the boat were also incredibly delicious! The guide on the way there was really wonderful, too!

サンドバーは水位は腰くらいまででしたが、透明度が高く、大満足でした。ｳﾐｶﾞﾒも見れたし、シュノーケリングも魚が沢山でとても楽しかったです。船の上のハンバーガーとビールも、最高に美味しかったです！行きのガイドのおじさんがとても素敵でした笑

Thanks to the two guides, I had a wonderful time. The scenery and the blue of the ocean were all amazing. I want to go again on my next trip to Hawaii!

ガイドさんお二人のおかげで素晴らしい時間を過ごせました。風景も海の青さも全てが最高です。次回のハワイでもまた行きたいです！

We participated as a family of three. Since we were staying at Hilton Village, we were scheduled to be picked up at 5 AM, but after waiting for a little over 15 minutes, I started to worry a bit, but we were able to meet up safely. Our 5-year-old daughter also joined, and she slept soundly in the car (laughs). Shortly after boarding the boat and moving to the spot, we finally spotted the dolphins! A large group of dolphins swam right beneath our feet. I was a bit worried about having the youngest participant, but my daughter was super excited!! After that, we also got to see turtles, and we experienced kayaking and paddleboarding, making it a very satisfying day. The staff members were always cheerful, and we were able to enjoy a fun atmosphere throughout. I definitely want to go again! ♪

家族3人で参加させて頂きました。
ヒルトンビレッジの宿泊でしたので、朝５時にピックアップ予定でしたが待つこと１５分強、
少し心配になりましたが無事に合流出来ました。
５歳の娘も参加したので娘は車ではぐっすりでした（笑）
船に乗ってポイントに移動後間もなくして待望のイルカを発見！
たくさんのイルカが群れを成して足の直ぐ下を泳いで行きました。
今回、最年少の参加少し心配していたのですが…これには娘も大興奮‼
その後カメのも会えたし、カヤックやパドルボートも体験出来て
大満足な一日でした。
スタッフの方々も終始明るくて楽しい雰囲気の中で過ごすことが出来ました。
是非、また行きたいです♪
