ラナイ島 シュノーケリングクルーズ  <1日2便/食事&アルコール2杯付き>

The phone support is surprisingly bad. 電話の対応がとてもびっくりするほど悪い

Reviewed by: mii

I live overseas, so I'm used to customer service here, but even so, I was shocked by how rude the attitude was when I made a confirmation call. It wasn't due to poor reception; the call was disconnected several times, and the attitude was extremely bad, which made me very anxious before participating in the tour.

However, when I actually joined the tour, the staff members were very nice. But to be honest, I'm not sure if it was worth the price.

When I asked some local friends in Maui, they told me it was too expensive and that there are better options available. I wish I had asked them before going.

わたしは海外に住んでいるのでこちらの接客になれているのですが
それでも
確認の電話をしたときに
びっくりするほど態度が悪かったです。
電波がわるいとかではなく
何回か途中で電話切られたし
態度もものすごい悪かったので
ツアーに参加する前とっても不安になりました。

実際にツアーに参加したら
そのときの従業員さんたちは
とてもいい感じでした。
でも値段の割には正直なところよかったのかはわからない。

マウイ地元の友達 何人かにきいたら高すぎるし
もっといいのがあると教えてもらいました。
初めに聞いてから行けばよかったなと思いました。

プライベートチャーター ケアラケクア湾シュノーケリング+イルカウォッチングツアー!GoProレンタルあり<午前/日本語ガイド>

I was moved!! 感動しました!!

Reviewed by: 匿名で

"I was told during the trip that 'the waves were strong, and it might actually be canceled,' and I was wondering what would happen... but it turned out to be an even more enjoyable swimming experience than I imagined. Many dolphins stayed around us, and during the first session, we played together for over an hour after jumping in. It was so much fun that I couldn't even find the right moment to get back on the boat, and the captain had to call us for a break... But we jumped back in right away. Since the dolphins didn't leave, we were able to swim freely as well. There’s no other sea where you can swim with wild dolphins like this. I definitely want to participate again. Thank you for the wonderful experience!"

「うねりがあって、本当は中止になるかもしれませんでした」と移動中聞かされ、
どうなることやら・・と思っていましたが想像以上の楽しいスイミングになりました。
多くのイルカが私たちの周りから去ることはなく、一回目は飛び込んでから一時間以上一緒に
遊んでくれたのです。あまりにも楽しくて、ボートに上がるタイミングもつかめず、
キャプテンが呼んでやっと休憩・・
でも、またすぐに飛び込みました。イルカたちが離れなかってため、自由に私たちも
泳がせていただきました。野生のイルカとこんなに泳げる海はありませんね。
また、是非参加したいと思います。感動をありがとうございました!

Hanauma Bay Snorkel Tour with Expert Guide & Waikiki Transportation. Free photos!

Wonderful Experience for the Whole Family

Reviewed by: Scott

Do not be afraid of this activity. First, the tour directors could not have been more friendly and helpful. Second, they could not have made it any easier. They picked us up at the lobby of the hotel, drove us to the bay, got us through the required orientation film and down to the water so efficiently. They have been doing this so long that they anticipated all of our needs (even before we realized that we had the need). Then, guided us into the water and instructed everyone on how to use the shorkle and made us all feel very comfortable. Even the 8 year old twins who are normally a handful. We were slowly guided around the bay and shown fish, eels and turtles. We stopped for pictures occasionally. And, told that we could download them from Facebook later that night.
When we were done, they gave us much needed water and snacks. Much needed because this was a good work out ( for a fat old guy). We got back to the van and were taken right back to our hotel and were the. Already trying to figure out when we could do the excursion again.
So, you don't have to worry about whether or not this is worth doing. And, it couldn't be easier or more enjoyable..

2.5-Hour Waikiki Guided Turtle Snorkel Tour, Snacks & Drinks - Holokai Catamaran

Wonderful excursion for the morning

Reviewed by: Sheesh

I was in Hawaii for business but had a free morning. So I booked this trip as a solo traveler. I think I was the only solo person, everyone else were families. I felt a little odd b/c no one really talked to me, guides included. The guides were very good though - responsible and good intro speech. So happy that one of them found an octopus to touch (though I felt bad for the octopus). The turtles were adorable and came up to breathe very close to us snorkelers. Then we sailed around the bay for a bit which was lovely. I'm very happy I fit this excursion into my business trip.
I was a little unclear on tipping also - the fee said all gratuities included, so I didn't bring any cash. But the guides said to please feed the tip jar if satisfied. Which I was, but I hadn't planned on bringing cash to tip. So that was a little uncomfortable as I didn't want to look like I didn't enjoy myself - I truly did!

Captain Bob's Kaneohe Sandbar Snorkeling Tour & BBQ Lunch with Waikiki Pickup

Not What I Expected

Reviewed by: Howie

For the amount of money we paid my fiance and I were disappointed. The boat we took out was dirty and in my opinion not well maintained. We spent less than one hour actually "Snorkeling" and that is what I was hoping for the most. The crew was nice and helpful, but I think I would not recommend this to anyone for the amount of money they charge.

We were blessed with good weather... 天気にも恵まれ・・・

Reviewed by: CHARKO

The weather was perfect on the day of our trip! We had to wade from the boat to the sandbar, and since we didn't bring our swimsuits, thinking we wouldn't be swimming, we were invited with, "The weather is great with no wind! It's really wonderful, so let's definitely go to the sandbar!" They even lent us wetsuits. My mother, who is in her 70s, was also moved and said, "I'm so glad we went!"

当日は天気にも恵まれ、最高でした!
船からサンドバーまで腰につからなければならず、最初から泳ぐ想定をせずに水着を持って行かなかった私たちに、『風もない天気もいい!すっごい素敵だからぜひサンドバー行こう!」と誘っていただき、ウェットスーツを貸してくれました。
70代の母も、『行って良かった!」と感動!

Reply from activity provider

Aloha! Thank you for participating in the tour the other day. I'm really glad your mother enjoyed it!

By the way, as CHARKO mentioned in your post, when you go to the sandbar, you will need to enter the water. The boat must anchor in a certain depth of water, so you will need to get off the boat and walk in the water to reach the sandbar. The depth will depend on the tide conditions that day, but for adults, it will be around waist to chest deep, so please come in swimwear or clothes that can get wet.

Please come back to play with your mother again! Next time, I hope you will also try snorkeling. Mahalo!

アロハ!先日はツアーにご参加ありがとうございました。
お母様も楽しんで頂けて本当に良かったです!

ちなみにCHARKO様も書き込みして頂いたようにサンドバーに行かれる際は海に入って頂かなくてはなりません。
船には一定の海の深さが必要な為サンドバーの近くに停泊させ、サンドバーまでは船から降りて頂きご自身で海の中を歩いて移動となります。
深さはその日の潮の状況によりますが大人で腰から胸の辺りの深さになるためご参加の際は水着または濡れても良い服装でお越し下さいね。

またお母様と遊びにいらして下さいね!次回はぜひシュノーケルも挑戦されてみて下さいね。マハロ!

It was a popular tour, so I participated with high expectations, and it truly was a wonderful experience that did not disappoint. Unfortunately, the temperature was a bit low, and it felt quite cold, but I am grateful for all the photos taken in various poses at the sandbar. We saw many sea turtles, and during snorkeling, we even saw a sea turtle sleeping with its head buried in the coral, which really impressed the kids. It was a great family outing.

人気のツアーということで、期待して参加しましたが、期待を裏切らない素晴らしいツアーでした。あいにく気温がやや低く、寒さを感じるくらいでしたが、サンドバーで色んなポーズの写真を沢山撮って頂き感謝しています。海ガメも沢山見られましたし、シュノーケリングでも、海ガメが珊瑚に頭を突っ込んで寝ているところも見られて、子供たちも感動していました。良い家族サービスができました。

ハワイ島 オーシャンラフティング&シュノーケルリングツアー <英語ガイド/食事付き>

Thrilling!!! スリル満点!!!

Reviewed by: けいちゃん

My husband, who loves roller coasters but can't swim at all, was worried about whether he could really enjoy the speed of the Zodiac without being thrown around, but it turned out to be completely unnecessary concern.

We were the only Japanese people in a group of nine, which included four other couples and families. The Zodiac goes really fast, so we bounced around on the boat, but there was no worry about falling into the sea, and it was a lot of fun.

After about a 15-minute ride from the marina, we encountered a pod of dolphins, and then after another 15 minutes, we were incredibly lucky to see a family of whales.

After that, we went snorkeling, which was my husband's first time snorkeling despite not being a good swimmer. I was more worried, but he seemed to really enjoy it and said he wanted to go snorkeling again. When we returned to the boat, we had snacks and delicious turkey sandwiches, making it a very enjoyable and satisfying tour.

ジェットコースターが大好きだけど、全く泳げない主人がゾディアックのスピードに振り下ろされずに本当に楽しめるかどうか心配でしたが、全く杞憂に終わりました。

日本人は私たちだけで、他に4組のカップル&家族の計9名のグループでした。
ゾディアックは、めちゃくちゃ飛ばすので、ボートの上で私たちはポンポン跳ねましたが、海に落とされる心配は無くとても楽しかったです。

マリーナから15分くらい走ると、イルカの群れに出会うことが出来、それから15分くらいまた走ると最高にラッキーなことにクジラのファミリーにも会うことが出来ました。

その後は、シュノーケルもしましたが、カナズチの主人の初シュノーケル。
私の方が心配でしたが、本人もとても楽しめたみたいで、またシュノーケルしたいと言っていました。
ボートに戻るとスナックや美味しいターキーサンドイッチを頂き、とても楽しくて満足なツアーでした。

カイルアビーチ送迎シャトルサービス 嬉しい5時間滞在!ビーチグッズなど各種レンタル付き<日本語スタッフ/ランチ付>

Easily in Kailua! カイルアに気軽に!

Reviewed by: AZアロハ!

Last year, I used "The Bus" to get to Kailua on my own. Initially, I had planned to include a visit to Lanikai Beach, but things started to go awry when I had to wait for a "bicycle rental." I ended up getting lost and wasted quite a bit of time. As a result, I had to give up on Lanikai Beach. My town exploration was also unsatisfactory, so I returned to Waikiki... Then the tragedy continued, as I was stuck for over an hour on the way back to Waikiki due to unclear bus operations. I returned to Ala Moana Shopping Center completely exhausted.

Reflecting on that experience, I signed up for this tour. Without worrying about transportation, I was able to rent a bicycle for just $10, which allowed easy access to Kailua Beach and, of course, Lanikai Beach. I was able to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the blue sky and clear ocean.

Not only the beach but also the lunch pizza was very delicious, and there were proper changing facilities, so I could enjoy exploring the town with peace of mind. However, after the initial briefing from the staff upon arrival, the tour had a style where you are “free” in a good way, but “left to your own devices” in a bad way. If you don’t check the places you want to visit in advance, time can slip away quickly.

I highly recommend this tour for those who find using "The Bus" or renting a car cumbersome like I do. If you participate, renting a bicycle and heading from Lanikai Beach to town is the best option! There are many unique shopping options in town that you won't find in Waikiki or Kahala, which I also recommend!

One disappointing aspect was that the pickup location for the voucher issued upon completing the tour reservation was incorrect. I had arrived early at a location across the street from my hotel, but it turned out that the bus was picking up at my hotel, which caused delays for other participants. Of course, the driver and staff from the tour company apologized, but since I provided an emergency contact at the time of booking, I would have appreciated a prior notification regarding this issue.

昨年、自力で「The Bus」を利用して行ったカイルア。当初は、ラニカイビーチまで含めた観光を予定していましたが、「自転車レンタル」の空き待ちあたりから、雲行きが怪しくなり、道に迷ったりして相当な時間をロス。結果、ラニカイビーチは断念。タウン散策も消化不良にワイキキに戻ることに・・・。そして悲劇(?!)は続き、ワイキキまでの復路で、バスの運行状況が良くわからず、カイルアで1時間以上も足止め。へとへとになってアラモアナSCまで戻ってくるというものでした。

という前回を反省し、申し込みをした今ツアー。
往復の“足”の心配もなく、1人10ドルで自転車もレンタルできたため、カイルアビーチは勿論、ラニカイビーチにも簡単にアクセスができ、青い空と透明な海・・・と素晴らしい景色を満喫することできました。

ビーチだけでなく、ランチもピザがとても美味しく、着替えの場所もちゃんと確保されているので、安心してタウン散策も楽しむことができました。ただ、現地到着後、スタッフからの一通りの説明の後は、いい意味で“自由に”そして、悪い意味で“放っておかれる”スタイルのツアーですので、事前に行きたい所をチェックしてツアーに臨まないと、あっという間に時間が過ぎてしまう感じでした。

私のように「The Bus」の利用やレンタカーが面倒と考える方に、ぜひお勧めしたいツアーです。そして参加されるなら、自転車をレンタルして、ラニカイビーチからタウンまで繰り出すのがベスト!タウンでの買い物もワイキキやカハラでは無いような物も沢山ありお勧めです!

ただ一つ残念だったのは、ツアー予約完了時に発行されたバウチャーのピックアップ場所が、間違えていたこと。宿泊ホテルの通りをはさんだ場所に早めにスタンバイしていたのに、結局、宿泊ホテルにバスは迎えに来ていたようで、他の参加者の方々をお待たせする形になってしまいました。勿論、運転手やツアー催行会社のスタッフの方からの謝罪はありましたが、予約時には緊急連絡先を記載しておりますので、その旨事前にご連絡をいただければと思いました。

カイルアビーチ送迎シャトルサービス 嬉しい5時間滞在!ビーチグッズなど各種レンタル付き<日本語スタッフ/ランチ付>

The sea was beautiful. 海は綺麗でした

Reviewed by: マミー

This time, I participated in a honeymoon trip. The pickup was supposed to be in front of the Sheraton Princess Kaiulani, but I got anxious when the car didn't arrive even after the meeting time had passed. After that, I spotted someone calling out "Kailua," and when I said my name, it turned out to be the tour guide. Following the guide, I was relieved to find the bus parked near the Hyatt Regency Hotel.

After getting on the bus, we arrived at the Kailua Beach Center after about an hour. Once we got off the bus, we were first guided in English, and I was confused about what was happening. Following the guide, I ended up in a room where we had to sign a consent form, but everyone around me was a foreigner, and I felt very anxious because I couldn't understand anything. After I mentioned that I was Japanese, I was taken to a different room where there were other Japanese people, and it seemed like I had gone to the wrong room. The Japanese people were on the same bus and had been guided ahead of me, so I would have appreciated it if they had confirmed everything until the end.

After the explanation, I rented a bicycle and went for a stroll around the town of Kailua. Since I hadn't had breakfast yet, I planned to eat pancakes at Boots & Kimo's, but it turned out to be closed! I should have checked before going. I gave up on the pancakes and had an acai bowl in the area instead. The center of Kailua is full of shops like gift stores and supermarkets, making it perfect for wandering around. I walked around for about two hours, and then for lunch, I chose pizza since the tour included meal vouchers. The pizza was hearty, and I was satisfied!

After that, we went to Kailua and Lanikai Beach, where we went snorkeling and relaxed. The ocean is beautiful! Compared to Waikiki Beach, there were fewer people, which was nice.

This was a one-day tour, but I was glad that I could stroll around the town of Kailua by bicycle and swim at the beautiful beach, making efficient use of my time.

今回は新婚旅行で参加しました。送迎付きで集合場所はシュラトンプリンセスカイウラニ前でしたが、集合時間過ぎても車は来なく焦りました。その後、カイルアと呼びながらこちらに来る方を見つけ、名前を言うと、ツアーのガイドさんでした。ガイドさんについていくとバスは、ハイアット・リージェンシーホテルのほうに停まっており、安心しました。
そしてバスに乗り1時間ぐらいして、カイルアのビーチセンターに着きました。バスを降りたら、まず英語で案内され、何がなんだか分からずガイドさんについていくと、同意書を書く部屋でも周りは外国人だけで英語で案内され、さっぱり分からず大変不安に思いました。その後、日本人だということを伝えると、別な部屋に案内され、そこには日本人の方もいて、部屋を間違いたみたいでした。日本人の方もバスも一緒に乗っていて、先に案内されていた感じみたいだったので、最後まで確認をしていただきかったです。
説明後、自転車を借りて、カイルアの街に散歩しに行きました。朝食はまだだったので、ブーツ&キモズのパンケーキを食べようと思い、行ったら定休日!行く前に確認しておけば良かったです。パンケーキは諦めて、その周辺でアサイーボウルを食べました。カイルアの中心地は、雑貨屋やスーパーなど、お店がいっぱいあるので、ぶらぶらするには最適でした。2時間ぐらい歩きまわり、その後、昼食で、ツアーに食事券がついていたのでピザを選びました。ピザはボリュームがあって、満足しました!
その後は、カイルア、ラニカイビーチにいき、シュノーケリングをして、ゆっくり過ごしました。とにかく海は綺麗です!ワイキキビーチと比べると人も少ないので、良かったです。
今回は1日コースでしたが、カイルアの街に自転車で散歩して、綺麗なビーチでも泳ぐことができ、時間を効率よく使うことができるツアーで良かったです。

Kailua Beach & Lanikai Day Pass with Included Gear, Free Parking and Optional Waikiki Transportation

one of the best experience I had on my trip

Reviewed by: Tony Ho

Before I got to Oahu i was wondering what to do for my short trip. It was my fist trip to Hawaii and i had no idea where to start. But booking a snorkel session with them was a good choice. They picked us up at Waikiki, and the pick up location just happened to be across the street of our hotel. Made a call to our hotel to remind us the day before our session. Even though I never done snorkel before it was easy to learn. As long as you can swim you can snorkel, just remember to keep your breathing tube above water. Kailua beach had clear water and lots of fish, and it's one of the reason I got hooked to snorkeling. We were going to do it again but our trip was too short, but if we had time we would.

This is a honest review from someone who visited to those that are still hesitating. BOOK IT. Your won't regret.

PS: remember to put on sunscreen, water base resist would be best.

Thank you for your positive feedback, Tony! We are glad that you enjoyed snorkeling and got to experience our beautiful waters and wildlife!

Honu ホヌ

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

After exploring the sandbar, I was able to swim with the honu (sea turtles). I was very satisfied to see many honu and rays.

The return boat can be cold, so I think it's a good idea to bring a jacket.

サンドバー散策後はホヌさんと泳ぐ事出来ました。
ホヌ、エイ沢山見れて大満足です。

帰りの船は寒いので、上着を持って行った方がいいと思います。

The best beach! 最高のビーチ!

Reviewed by: ジョシタビ

You can visit Kailua Beach on a tour even without a car. I definitely recommend renting a bicycle. I first headed to Lanikai Beach by bike, then picked up pancakes to-go from Boots & Kimo's in Kailua Town, had lunch with my lunch ticket, and finally went to Kailua Beach in that order. Lanikai Beach is amazing! It was the most beautiful beach I've ever seen. It's also interesting to ride through the upscale residential areas along the way. For lunch, I had spare ribs, which were hearty and delicious. Boots & Kimo's was decent, but I thought it might not have been worth the time to go there. Since time was limited, I hardly had any time at Kailua Beach. If you want to focus on the beach, I recommend skipping Kailua Town and planning to go to Lanikai Beach in the morning, pick up lunch to-go, and then relax at Kailua Beach in the afternoon. Also, there was a handsome half-Japanese staff member who looked like Ryo Nishikido at the shop! Haha.

車がなくてもツアーでカイルアビーチに行くことができます。
自転車は絶対レンタルした方がいいと思います。
私は最初に自転車でラニカイビーチへ向かい、その後カイルアタウンのブーツ&キモズでパンケーキをテイクアウトし、昼食チケットで昼食を取り、最後にカイルアビーチという順で回りました。
ラニカイビーチは最高です!今まで見たビーチの中で一番綺麗でした。サイクリングの途中で高級住宅街を通るのでそれを見て回るのも面白いです。
昼食はスペアリブを食べましたがボリュームもあって美味しかったです。
ブーツ&キモズはそこそこ美味しかったけど、時間を割いてまで行く必要はなかったかも?と思いました。時間が限られているので、カイルアビーチでの時間がほとんど取れなかったです。
ビーチ中心に回りたいならカイルアタウンを省略して午前中ラニカイビーチ→昼食をテイクアウト→午後はカイルアビーチでまったり、というプランがオススメです。
あとショップに錦戸亮似のイケメンハーフ店員さんがいました!笑

Snorkeling in Kailua カイルアでシュノーケリング

Reviewed by: Beth

I joined the snorkeling tour because I wanted to snorkel in a beautiful location. They picked me up near the hotel, which was convenient. After picking up various groups, the air conditioning on the way was too cold, but we arrived safely (laughs).

There was a changing room at the office, and a Japanese staff member gave us an explanation before we dispersed. I was given a paper wristband with a colored tag indicating the meeting time and course, but that part turned white while the rest got sunburned, so be careful (laughs).

After changing, we walked for about 7 minutes to reach the beach. The scenery was lovely. I could only see sand underwater (sweat), and since I didn't have an anti-fog solution for my goggles, they started to fog up (sweat). The sea in early March was still cold around 10 AM.

After enjoying it for about an hour, we returned for lunch. I received something like a lunch ticket, so I had rice dishes, pizza, and I think something else (sweat). I chose Bob's pizza. The one with just salami was crisp and gooey, and it was very delicious (happy). I want to eat it again!

After that, I went to the Whole Foods Market I was aiming for, which was about a 20-minute walk. The organic John Masters Organics shampoo was inexpensive, and BURT'S BEES lip balm was cheap for two. There was also affordable honey from a small bear. There were many other interesting shops, but unfortunately, I didn't have enough time, so I returned to the meeting place.

景色の綺麗なところでシュノーケリングしたくて参加しました。
ホテルの近くまでピックアップにきてくれて楽でした。
それからいろんなグループをピックアップして、道中のエアコンが寒すぎましたが無事到着(笑)
事務所に更衣室があって日本人のスタッフの方から説明があり、そのあと解散。腕に集合時間、コース別の色の付いた紙製のリストバンドを巻いてもらったのですが、そこだけ白くなって他が日に焼けてしまったのでご注意(笑)。
着替えてから歩いて7分程でビーチに到着。素敵な景色です。
海の中は砂しか見れませんでしたが(汗)
そして曇り取りがゴーグルにしていないのでくもってきて(汗)
3月初めの海は朝10時位でしたがまだ冷たいですね。
一時間位堪能したあと、ランチしに戻りました。
ランチ券みたいなのをいただいたので、ご飯系とピザと、あとなんかあったような(汗)
ボブさんのピザにしました。
ボブスペシャルよりサラミのみのほうが、カリっトロっとしてとても美味しかったです(幸)また食べたいな
そのあとはお目当のwhole foods marketに行きました。
歩いて20分程。
オーガニックのジョンマスターオーガニクスのシャンプーがお安かったり、BURT'S BEESのリップも二本で安かったり、小さいクマのハチミツもお安かったです。
他にも色々面白そうなお店がありましたが、残念ながら時間がなかったので集合場所に戻りました。

サンドバー天使の海 シュノーケリング&ウミガメウォッチクルーズ 船上のBBQグリルで焼くハンバーガーランチ付き!<午前/日本語クルー>

Definitely again! ぜひまた!

Reviewed by: みーさ

It was a slightly windy day, but the weather was nice and the sea was very beautiful. I was moved when I stood on the sandbar, and I was completely satisfied with the endless blue sea and blue sky. The sand only appears for a limited time on certain days, and when I went, the water was about knee to waist deep, but I could still see the white sand and feel the soft sandy areas in places. The burgers for lunch were delicious, and both the captain and the crew were friendly, making it a truly enjoyable experience. I definitely want to go again.

少し風の強い日でしたが、天気は良く海がとても綺麗でした。
サンドバーに立てたときは感動しましたし、見渡す限り青い海と青い空で大満足でした。
砂が顔を出すのは本当に限られた日の限られた時間だけのため、私が行ったときは膝から腰あたりまでの深さがありましたが、それでも白い砂が見え、所々に柔らかい砂地を感じることができました。
お昼のバーガーも美味しかったですし、船長も船員さんも気さくで本当に楽しかったです。
ぜひまた行きたいと思います。

I'm satisfied for now. とりあえず満足です。

Reviewed by: あずママ

The ocean and sandbar were very beautiful, but the wind was strong, and once I got back on the boat, I didn't feel like going back into the water. I was able to see sea turtles, and I recommend this tour. If I can come to Hawaii again next time, I would like to come on a warm day without wind.

海もサンドバーもとても綺麗でしたが、風が強く一度船に上がるとまた海に入る気にはなれませんでした。ウミガメも見ることができて、オススメのツアーです。次回またハワイに来られることができたら、風のない暖かい日にまた来たいと思います。
