All Reviews for Snorkeling Cruises & Tours

I gave a present to a family member. When I asked for their impressions, they said it was unfortunately rainy that day (not a downpour or a passing shower, but a light rain that kept falling continuously) and it was so cold that they were shivering the whole time. They mentioned that they could only see the turtles for a brief moment... I thought it would be nice if there were special courses or activities that could be enjoyed even on rainy days.

身内にプレゼントしました。
感想を聞いたところ、当日は生憎の雨模様で（スコールや通り雨ではなく、小雨がずーーーっと降ってました）寒すぎて、ずっと震えていたそうです。
亀も一瞬だけしか見えなかったそうな…
雨の日でも楽しめるような、特別コース等があると良いなあと思いました。

Awesome trip! We saw lots of dolphins!
Lunch was delicious. The captain was very knowledgeable!

The arrangements were smooth as well. The pick-up and drop-off after arrival were also seamless, making it a great value and very convenient. I will definitely use this service again next time.

手配までもスムーズです。到着後もスムーズに送迎してもらえるので料金もお得で大変便利でした。次回もまた利用させて頂きます。

It was a wonderful tour. I wish it had been a little shallower, though. The hamburger was delicious too! The conductor was great as well. Thank you!

素晴らしいツアーでした。もう少し浅かったら良かったけど。ハンバーガーも美味しかったですよ～。コンダクターも良かったです。ありがとう。

We were blessed with many dolphins! They swam around us in circles. I missed seeing the manta ray, but some people were able to see sea turtles.

We had a packed schedule with snorkeling, stand-up paddleboarding, canoeing, jumping off the boat, and even learning hula dancing! It was a fantastic time, and not only did we enjoy the ocean activities, but the staff were all truly wonderful, which made the experience even more enjoyable. The bus ride there with the energetic lessons really boosted our spirits and was the best.

I apologize for the delay in sharing my experience. I look forward to visiting again when I go to Honolulu!

たくさんんのイルカ達に恵まれました♪私たちの周りをくるくると泳いでくれたり♪
マンタに、私は見逃しましたがウミガメも見れた方もいたとか＾＾
シュノーケリングや、スタンドアップパドルにカヌー、船から飛び込んだり、フラダンスを教えてもらったりと、終始盛りだくさん！
海遊びを満喫させて頂けたのももちろん、スタッフの方が皆本当に素敵でそれもあって楽しさ倍増でした☆
行きのバスからのマシンガン授業も気分を高めて頂き最高でした。

最後に体験談の書き込みが遅くなり申し訳ありませんした。
また、ホノルルへ行く際にはお邪魔しますので、よろしくお願いいたします＾＾

If you're lucky, you might encounter sea turtles, and on the day of our participation, two sea turtles were swimming around the boat. When we dove into the water, we were able to see them up close. The experience of diving with sea turtles became a wonderful memory. The captain was also kind, and we had a great time. However, even if the weather is good, the boat does sway when you head out to sea. A friend of mine got seasick, so I think it's essential for those considering this to prepare for seasickness. My friend mentioned that hunger and fatigue were also issues, so since the participation is early in the morning, make sure to have breakfast and get enough sleep beforehand.

運が良ければ海亀に会えるということでしたが、参加当日は二頭もの海亀が船の周りを泳いでいて、水中に潜った時もすぐ近くで見ることができました。
海亀と一緒に潜る経験は良い思い出になりました。
船長さんも親切で楽しく過ごせました。
ただ、天気が良くても沖に出ますのでどうしても船が揺れます。友達が船酔いでダウンしたので、検討中の方は船酔い対策は必須だと思います。
空腹と疲労が悪かったと友達が言っていたので、参加が早い時間ですので朝食と早めの睡眠はちゃんととっておきましょう。

Swimming with a pod of wild dolphins multiple times became the best memory for our entire family on the Big Island. It felt like I was part of the pod. I've heard that swimming with wild dolphins might soon be prohibited, so please make sure to go soon!

野生のイルカの群れと何度も一緒に泳ぐことが出来て家族全員一致でハワイ島で一番の思い出になりました。まるで自分が群れの一員の様な気分でした。もうすぐ野生のイルカと泳ぐ事が禁止になるかもとの事で是非お早目に行って下さい！

Such a great experience! I'm not a strong swimmer, but the guides went the perfect pace for people of all strengths. They start by teaching you how to use the snorkel equipment, then you follow one of the guides around to see all the reefs and the fish. It was fun, easy and the perfect addition to a trip on Oahu!

I'm glad I was able to go to Sandbar, but I hardly saw any fish while snorkeling. If you're thinking, "I'll just snorkel here, so I don't need to go anywhere else!" it's better to go somewhere else. The crew members were all friendly, and I had a great time.

サンドバーは実際行けてよかったですが、シュノーケルはほぼ魚みれず。シュノーケルここでやるから、他はいいや！って思ってる方は別でいったほうがよいです。船員さんはみな気さくで楽しめました。

I participated in the Dolphin University on April 16th.

In a word, it was a dream-like experience.

We departed early in the morning before sunrise. We were greeted by the energetic Julie, and headed to the harbor on the west coast where the boat would depart. On the bus, Julie provided lively and enjoyable explanations, sharing stories about dolphins and important notes that got our adrenaline pumping even before we arrived.

We were told that there was a high probability of seeing dolphins, but since it was nature, I had some concerns.

However, shortly after the boat set off, we encountered a pod of dolphins. The staff worked together tirelessly to ensure we could see the dolphins.

Dozens of dolphins slowly passed right beneath us, and it was so moving that it is still etched in my memory.

After that, we moved to a point where we could see turtles. The visibility that day was excellent, and we could see all the way to the bottom, so we were able to spot the turtles quickly. We were able to see both a large turtle and a small turtle, which was truly satisfying.

After seeing the turtles, we had free time in the ocean. We enjoyed various activities like jumping off the boat, snorkeling, kayaking, and stand-up paddleboarding. After lunch, we all danced the hula together, bringing the tour to a close.

I am truly grateful to all the staff who kept us entertained until the end. If I have the opportunity to participate again, I hope to go see the dolphins with this same crew.

It was the best time. Thank you very much.

4月16日のイルカ大学に参加させていただきました。

一言で言えば、夢のような時間でした。

朝、日が昇らない時間から出発。
元気が良いジュリーさんに迎えられ、ボートが出発する西海岸の港へと向かいます。
バスの中ではジュリーさんの威勢のいい楽しい説明があり、イルカの話や注意事項など到着する前からアドレナリンを放出させられます。

ほとんどの確率でイルカには会えるとのことでしたが、自然相手なので多少の心配もありました。

しかし、ボートが出発してすぐにイルカの群れに遭遇。
スタッフの皆さんも一丸となって私たちにイルカを見せてくれようと必死になって頑張ってくました。

何十頭ものイルカが私たちの真下をゆっくりと通りすぎ、とても感動的で今でも目に焼き付いています。

その後、カメの見られるポイントへ移動。
その日は透明度も良く、底までしっかりと見えたので、カメもすぐに見つけられることできました。
大きいカメと小さいカメの二匹を見ることができ、本当に満足のいく内容でした。

カメを見た後は、そのまま海で自由時間。
ボートから飛び込んだり、シュノーケリング、カヤック、サップと各々海でのアクティビティーを楽しんだ私たちは、昼食後皆でフラを踊り、ツアーの幕が下りました。

最後まで楽しませてくれたスタッフの皆さんには本当に感謝しています。
また参加する機会があれば、同じこのクルーと一緒にイルカを見に行けたらいいなと思いました。

最高の時間でした。ありがとうございました。

I always participate in this tour when I go to Hawaii!!
Even though it's a short half-day OP tour, it mainly features dolphin swimming, hula experiences, a burger lunch on the boat, and surprises, making it 120% satisfying!!!
I will definitely join again when I go to Hawaii!!!

ハワイに行くと必ずこのツアーに参加します！！
半日というショートなOPツアーながらドルフィンスイムをメインに
フラ体験や船上でのバーガーランチ＆サプライズなどなど120％満足する内容です！！！
またハワイに行ったときは必ず参加します！！！！！

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^ ^
