All Reviews for Snorkeling Cruises & Tours

We were a couple with a big group of family so we took up half of the catamaran anyways - it was a great experience, thorough and the guys were really caring for this of us who didn't feel well! Definitely recommend!!

It's a very beautiful place where you can meet sea turtles, and the lunch on the boat was not just a tour bento, but very delicious. It's a place you should visit at least once.

とてもきれいな場所で、海がめにも会え、船上のランチもツアーのお弁当、ではなくとても美味しかったです。一度は行くべき場所です。

This is my third time at Sandbar, and it's the first time the weather has been bad and cold. There's a world of difference between good and bad weather, but the staff were very attentive, and I was able to see turtles while snorkeling, so it was a decent tour overall.

サンドバー三回目で天気が悪く寒いのは初めてです。天気が良いのと悪いのでは天と地の差が有りますがスタッフが色々気を使ってくれシュノーケルでは亀も見れたのでまずまずのツァーでした。

I used this for my honeymoon. Although we couldn't go to Molokini Island due to strong winds, we enjoyed the incredibly beautiful sea. If there's a next time, I will definitely repeat this!

新婚旅行で利用しました。風が強くてモロキニ島には行けませんでしたが、最高に綺麗な海を満喫しました。次回があればまたリピートします！

Dan And Cheiko were great instructors, they kept us busy enjoying the water the whole time. I would recommend them.

What a great snorkeling experience!! Although we had snorkeled before (quite a few years ago), my husband was not able to complete the adventure even though Chieko tried to pull the 2 of us around. So, my husband went back to land and Chieko pulled me around (I just had to relax and enjoy). We saw so many & beautiful fish. I would definitely recommend this tour.

You can ride a underwater scooter and dive into the sea to interact with beautiful fish. The staff is present to take photos for you, and the service is excellent.

水中スクーターに乗って海中に潜り、キレイな魚と触れ合えます。スタッフ立会いで写真も撮ってもらえてサービスも充実してます。

There are several sandbar tours, but the only walkable sandbar is with Captain Bruce. Not only is the sea beautiful, but I also enjoyed a BBQ on the boat and had the chance to see wild turtles up close, which was a lot of fun.

サンドバーツアーは数ありますが、歩けるサンドバーはキャプテンブルースのみ。海がキレイなだけでなく、船上BBQを満喫できたり野生のカメを間近で見れたり非常に楽しめました。

It was a honeymoon trip to Hawaii, but until we joined this tour, my husband wasn't very comfortable with Hawaii. He hadn't participated in any tours voluntarily and the food didn't quite suit him, so he didn't have a very enjoyable impression of Hawaii leading up to this tour. However, during this tour, we got on a boat, swam in the ocean surrounded by dolphins, and even swam with sea turtles, which are hard to encounter even in Okinawa, Japan. He was very excited and enjoyed it, and seeing him like that made me feel relieved and happy.

Additionally, throughout the tour, a photographer accompanied us and took photos that we couldn't have captured ourselves. Although it was an extra charge, we decided to purchase them, and they became a page in our wonderful memory album. My husband has a lot of snorkeling experience in Okinawa, but he mentioned that it's rare to find a company like this one that allows you to swim for such a long time.

Not only did we swim with dolphins and sea turtles, but the boat also moved to different spots where we could swim with fish. They even had canoes available if we wanted, which showed great consideration.

On the boat, there were services provided at intervals, such as pineapple, juice, snacks, lunch burgers, and even dancing, which made it more than just a sea activity and kept the guests entertained. The crew, led by the organizer Yuriko, along with the young boys, were all kind and pleasant, making for a very enjoyable day. This was the best memory of our time in Hawaii. Thank you very much.

ハネムーンでのハワイ旅行でしたが、このツアーに参加するまでは旦那さんがあまりハワイに馴染めなく、というのも食事が少し合わなかったり、自発的に参加するツアーにまだ参加していなかったので、ハワイに対してあまり楽しい印象がないまま今回のこちらのツアー日を迎えました。けれどこのツアーで船に乗り、イルカに囲まれて海を泳ぎ、また日本では沖縄であってもなかなか遭遇できないウミガメとも一緒に泳ぐことができ、とても興奮し、楽しんでいました。その姿を見て私もほっとするとともにうれしい気持ちになりました。
またこのツアーではずっとカメラマンさんが付き添って下さり、自分たちでは取れないような写真を撮影してくれました。有料にはなりますが、私たちはぜひにと思い購入させていただき、良き思い出のアルバムの1ページとなりました。旦那さんは沖縄でのシュノーケリング経験が多くあるのですが、こちらの催行会社のように、長い時間たっぷりと泳がせてくれるところは少ないと言っていました。
またイルカやウミガメだけでなく、その後もポイントを変えて、魚とも一緒に泳げるスポットまで船を移動して下さり、希望すればカヌー等も用意があり、配慮が行き届いていたと思います。
船上でもパイナップル、ジュース、スナック、ランチのハンバーガー、船上でのダンスなど、時間を置いて少しずつサービス提供があり、ただ海のアクティビティだけをするということではない、ゲストを飽きさせない工夫が凝らされていたと思います。
乗組員の方もまとめ役のユリコさんを筆頭に、若い男の子たちもみなさん親切で感じがよく、とても気持ちの良い一日を過ごすことができました。ハワイでの一番の思い出です。どうもありがとうございました。

We were blessed with great weather on the day of our trip, and we encountered many dolphins right after setting sail! I was also very satisfied to see a turtle. While snorkeling, those who wished could also experience sea kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding, so it's recommended for those who want to try a little bit of marine sports without having to sign up specifically for them. A photographer accompanied us, so we could purchase photo data, allowing us to capture memories even without a waterproof camera. It was a very enjoyable time in a friendly atmosphere!

当日はお天気にも恵まれ、
出航してすぐにたくさんのイルカに出会えました！
ホヌにも会えて大満足♡
シュノーケルをしながら、
希望者はシーカヤックやSAPも体験できるので、
わざわざマリンスポーツとして申し込みをしなくても、ちょっとした体験をしてみたい方にもオススメです。
カメラマンさんが同行しているので、写真のデータも購入出来、防水カメラを持っていなくても、思い出が残せます。
和気あいあいとした雰囲気で、とても楽しい時間でした✩

I was nervous until we set sail, but as soon as all eight of us came out of the water, we all exclaimed "Amazing!" The staff guided us to the turtles and took videos and photos for us. The pictures and videos were truly beautiful, and for just $135, they can be sent to the representative's computer for sharing! It makes for a great keepsake. You might want to bring motion sickness medication.

出航するまでは緊張でしたが、８人全員海から上がってくるなり「最高」の一言！
スタッフが亀の所まで誘導してくれたり、ビデオや写真を撮ってくれました。その写真やビデオが本当にきれいで何人でも＄１３５払えば代表者のパソコンに送られ拡散ＯＫ！良い記念になります。
酔い止めは必要かも

I was very satisfied with the transportation, crew, and tour content. The crew was polite and helped us when we were in trouble. We had plenty of time at the sandbar to take lots of photos and practice snorkeling. The boat hardly rocked, and I didn't feel seasick.

The handmade hamburger for lunch was delicious! The only regret I have is that my shoulders got really sunburned, possibly because the sunscreen was too thin (laughs). This is a tour I would like to join again when I go to Hawaii!

送迎、乗組員、ツアー内容ともに大満足です。
乗組員も丁寧で、困っていると助けてくれたり、
サンドバーでの時間もたっぷりあり、写真をたくさんとったり、シュノーケルの練習をしたりできました。
船もほとんど揺れず、酔いはありませんでした。

お昼のハンバーガーが手作りで、お肉が美味しかったです‼
日焼け止めが薄かったのか、肩がめちゃくちゃ焼けたことだけが後悔です(笑)
またハワイにいったら参加したいツアーです‼

This was our second trip snorkeling with Tim. This time we brought my wife's family (from Miami). They absolutely loved it, and we can't thank Tim and crew enough for making it, yet again, a once in a lifetime experience for our family.

You guys rock!!!

The sandbar, as seen in photos, is only accessible during low tide, so I checked the dates and times when it goes below 0m on the website and participated accordingly. Since low tide was around 8:00 AM, the sandbar was not visible when I arrived. It was cloudy, which reduced the beauty of the sea, but it gradually cleared up, and by the time we left the sandbar, it looked beautiful. I didn't participate in snorkeling, so I borrowed a float and a surfboard to have some fun. For those who didn't participate in snorkeling, we were taken on a small boat to see sea turtles. The ride felt like being on a speedboat and was very enjoyable.

写真で見るようなサンドバーは干潮時のみのため、サイトで干潮時に０m以下になる日にちと時間を調べて参加しました。干潮時間はAM 8:00頃のため到着するとサンドバーは出ていませんでした。曇りだっため、海の綺麗さは半減していましたが、途中から少しづつ晴れてサンドバーを離れる頃には綺麗に見えました。シュノーケリングに参加にしなかったため、浮き輪やサーフボードを借りて遊びました。シュノーケリングに参加しなかった人限定で、小型ボートでウミガメを見に連れて行って貰えました。道中はスピードボートに乗ってるようでとても楽しかったです。

Trevor and Captain Jesse James were incredible. We were in Hawaii for 7 day with 3 days in Hilo and 4 days in Kona and this 3 hour trip is what my three sons remember the most. Highly recommend!

Mike and Deanna were our guides this afternoon. They were quick but thorough in equipping everyone and explaining what to expect. The snorkeling was amazing. Though the wind picked up more than expected, they skillfully guided us back across the bay. Great experience that was enhanced by Mike's tales of the history of the bay.

I usually participated in dolphin swims at Sea Hawaii. This was my first time participating at Dolphin Middle School. Although the weather was nice, the water clarity was poor, and I couldn't see even one meter ahead. The staff tried their best to make it enjoyable, but it was very disappointing.

いつもはシーハワイでドルフィンスイムに参加していました。はじめてのイルカ中学での参加。天気は良かったものの、水の透明度がなく、ほんの１ｍ先も見えないほど。スタッフの方は一生懸命に楽しませてくれようとしていましたが、とても残念でした。

I thoroughly enjoyed the Na Pali Coast Sunset Cruise. We boarded in the afternoon, and the weather was perfect with no wind, making for ideal conditions as we set sail!

Along the way, we encountered a pod of dolphins that came right under the boat. We also spotted a whale in the distance. As we approached the Na Pali Coast, the stunning cliffs came into view, and I was in awe of the natural scenery. The dinner on the boat on the way back was also fantastic!

Just before we arrived at the harbor, the sunset behind the boat was breathtaking. I highly recommend experiencing this and enjoying the beauty of nature!

ナ・パリ・コーストサンセットクルーズを満喫しました。午後からの乗船で天候もよく風もなくて絶好のコンディションでいざ出港!
途中でイルカの群れに遭遇して船の下までやって来ました。少し遠くでしたが、クジラも見る事が出来ました。ナ・パリ・コーストに近づくに連れて断崖絶壁の風景が近くに見え大自然の景色に満喫しました。帰りは船の上でのディナーも最高でした‼
港に着く少し前には船の後ろに沈む夕陽は最高でした。是非体験して大自然を満喫して下さい。

This is a recommended plan for first-time visitors to Hawaii.

The sandbar can be seen or not depending on the tide, but since it's shallow, even small children were playing there.

We moved to snorkel around the coral reef, and it was fun to see so many fish.

It's also nice that you can stop by points where you can see sea turtles during the移動中.

初めてハワイに来た人はオススメのプランです。

サンドバーは潮のみちひきで見れたり見れなかったりしますが、浅瀬になっているので小さい子供も遊んでいました。

移動して珊瑚礁の周りをシュノーケルしたのですが魚がいっぱい見れて楽しいです。

移動中にウミガメが見れるポイントに寄って見たり出来るのもいいです^ ^

This is my second time and I will still recommend it to my friends.

Saw the dolphins up close and it was fun.

Very safe and effortless.

My 11-year-old grandson unexpectedly had fun playing volleyball in the sea. We started on the boat, but there was a beautiful shallow area in the ocean! Just seeing that made us exclaim in excitement, and then we could get down and play volleyball too! The staff were very attentive, providing thorough explanations and ensuring safety.

11才の孫が、思いがけなく海水に入りながらバレーボール出来、楽しかったと言ってました。船でスタートしたのに、海に綺麗な浅瀬が❗それだけでわぁーっと声が出たのに、降りられバレーボールまで❗説明も丁寧、そして安全面でも気をかけているスタッフの方々の対応も良かったです

As soon as I arrived, it was raining, and I felt a bit chilly and anxious, but the staff were very kind, which made me feel at ease. I also found several turtles, making it a very fulfilling day.

着いたとたんに雨で、肌寒く不安でしたが、スタッフの方も、とても親切で安心して過ごせました。
亀も何匹もみつけて、とても充実した１日でした。

It was a beautifully sunny day, and the sea was incredibly clear—perfect for snorkeling! A great day for a tour!!!

We excitedly set off on the boat with the cheerful crew and the cool female captain!

I made sure to check the low tide times, so we were able to enjoy the shallow waters perfectly.

Around the shallow area, there was a sudden drop-off, and we all put on our life jackets and snorkeling masks to head out to the drop-off. Beyond the drop-off, the sea was really deep. But with life jackets on and the crew always keeping an eye on us, I felt safe.

Actually, when I went to the Maldives for my honeymoon, I was scared of the drop-off and regretted not going further. But here, I was able to get my revenge!!

Under the sea, it was a world of colorful fish!!!! In the clear, beautiful water with vibrant fish, it truly felt like paradise.

We went on the morning tour, but we could only enjoy breakfast (a light snack) around lunchtime (laughs).

The participation fee is a bit pricey, but both my child and I were very satisfied. The crew was incredibly cheerful and attentive, and they were kind to my child as well. My older child tends to get motion sickness, but they were fine!

I'm glad I participated.

その日はきれいに晴れた日で海もとてもきれいでまさにシュノーケリング日和！
ツアー日和！！！
陽気なクルーの皆さんとかっこいい女性キャプテンの船で張り切って出発！！

しっかり干潮の時間も調べて行ったので、ばっちり浅瀬が楽しめました。

浅瀬の周りは突然深くなるドロップオフがあり、ライフジャケットとシュノーケリングマスクを
つけてドロップオフの先へみんなで行きます。
ドロップオフの先は本当に深い海。でもライフジャケットもあるし、クルーの皆さんが常に以上がないか気を配ってくれているので安心です。

実は新婚旅行でモルディブへ行った時、ドロップオフの先が怖くて底から先へ進めずに
帰国してきたことを若干後悔していたのですが、ここでリベンジを果たすことができました！！

海の中はまあ～～～色とりどりの魚の世界！！！！
透き通ったきれいな海に鮮やかな魚、まさに天国の海です。

午前出発の部で行きましたが、朝食（軽食）が楽しめるのはほぼお昼の時間です（笑）

参加費が少し値が張りますが、私も子供もとても大満足でした。
クルーの皆さんもとにかく明るくてとっても気が利くし、子供にも親切にしていただけました。
上の子が乗り物酔いしやすいのですが、大丈夫でした！

参加してよかったです。

The first stop where the boat docked was at the center of a crescent-shaped island, where we snorkeled. The sea was incredibly beautiful, and we saw many tropical fish.

At the second stop, we were able to see a large sea turtle up close. Both times, we had plenty of time to relax and float around in the sea.

Breakfast, lunch, and alcoholic drinks were provided, and the food service was satisfying. There were three types of local beer from Maui. There were also cocktails available. All-you-can-drink! The beer after playing in the sea was delicious, a delight for beer lovers.

It seemed that there were a total of 140 participants on the same boat, but there were only us and one other family as Japanese participants. The Japanese female guide was polite and taught us various things, and she was also very approachable, which was really nice.

船が止まる一箇所目、三日月の形の島の中身の部分で、まずシュノーケル。とてもきれいな海で、南国の魚をたくさん見れました。

二箇所目で、大きいウミガメを近くで見れました。
2回とも十分時間を取ってくれて、のんびり海で浮かんで遊べました。

朝食、昼食、アルコールも飲めて、食のサービスも満足でした。
マウイ島の地ビールは3種類ありました。カクテル？もありました。飲み放題！海で遊んだあとのビール美味しかったです、ビール好きにはたまらないです。

総勢を140名の参加者が同じ船に乗っていたようですが、
日本人参加者は私達と、もうひと組の家族のみ。
日本人女性のガイドさんが丁寧で色々教えてくださり、また話しやすい感じの良い方だったので、それもすごく良かったです。

It was my first time snorkeling, and the instructions were very thorough, allowing me to get used to it quickly! In the clear sea, I was able to see many fish, making it an incredible experience. During the transfer, the guide shared insights about the town, making for a fulfilling tour. While some people swam without renting a wetsuit, I found it warm and it provided extra buoyancy, so for someone like me who wasn't confident in swimming, it was the right choice to rent one.

初めてのシュノーケリングでしたが、丁寧に説明してくださり、すぐに慣れることができました！透き通った海ではたくさんの魚を見ることが出来、感動的な体験となりました。送迎中も街並みを見ながらガイドしていただき、充実したツアーでした。ウェットスーツは借りずに泳がれている方ももちろんいましたが、温かく、浮力も増すため、泳ぎに自信が無かった私は、借りて正解でした。

You are super close to the fishes under the water and you can see a lot of variety of them and I even saw 4 turtles from a close distance.
The staff are very friendly and gives you good guidance on every step of the activity.
The only drawback is the time underwater was only 15 minutes and when you are which flew by very quickly.

Note: You don't need to know how to swim to do this activity.

Everything we hoped for and more. Check-in was fast and easy; they even have presc. Goggles. The staff (Capt Jenn and the two Nikki's) were helpful and provided excellent customer service. We saw dolphins, whales, and sea turtles.

Must do when in Oahu.

I wasn't able to see dolphins, but I did get to meet turtles and swim with them. In the past, I had a frustrating experience when my group was unable to see turtles at the sandbar, so I was very happy and moved this time. Unfortunately, I didn't get to see the dolphins I was hoping for, but I can try again for free next time, which gives me a reason to come back to Hawaii. I think it's a very fair company.

イルカには会うことができませんでしたが、亀に会うことができ一緒に泳ぐことができました。以前、サンドバーで私達だけ亀を見ることができなかったことがあり悔しい思いをしたことがあるのでとても嬉しく感動しました。目的のイルカには残念ながら会えませんでしたが、次回無料で再チャレンジできるということですので、またハワイに来る目的ができました。とても良心的な会社だと思います。

I traveled to Hawaii with my aunty and this was on top of our to do list and it didnt dissapoint! We had a fantastic time and said when we go back we would definitely do it again! Beautiful ocean and lovely staff, we saw fish and turtles in their natural habitat....it was so serene thankyou to the friendly staff that ensures our safety and made sure we had a fantastic experience. Mohalo and Aloha

The Japanese staff were very helpful, and their explanations were really easy to understand. They even made jokes, which added some laughter to the tour, and I was very satisfied! However, the sandbar was submerged due to high tide, which was different from what I had imagined. It's a natural phenomenon, so there's nothing that can be done about it, but I was a little disappointed about that... Still, I had a great time! Next time, I want to join the tour when the tide is low!

日本人のスタッフさんもいて、説明もすごく分かりやすかった。ジョークとかも言いながらで笑いもありツアーは大満足です！
ただサンドバーが潮が満ちてて、イメージと違った。自然現象のだから仕方ないことだけど、そこだけちょっと残念だったな、、、
でもすごく楽しかったです(^^)今度は潮が満ちてない時を狙ってツアーに参加したいです(*´꒳`*)
