Small Group Snorkel Tour with Personal Guide at Hanauma Bay [Open Soon]

A must for Oahu visit

Reviewed by: Steve

Very friendly and experienced crew. I've snorkeled at Haunama Bay several times on my own, and was ready for a guided visit, by far the best trip ever. Saw a turtle and of course hundreds of fish. Highly recommend

West Coast Explorer - Land Tour & Beach Snorkel (from Ko Olina / Waikiki)

The best way to explore the West Side of the Island!

Reviewed by: mblock

I had such a wonderful time!

This was the best way to explore the west side of the island, and we visited so many beautiful spots off the beaten path!

Akima and Robert are really good guides and snorkel instructors. They know a lot about the island and gave us rich information about the history of Hawaii, the legends and marine life. They have maps and pictures to illustrate what they are talking about. They are also professional photographers and took many cool pictures for us, including underwater shots. The vehicle was very clean and comfortable and they were on time for pick up.

My favorite time was the snorkel, I am not a good swimmer but the guides made me feel very comfortable and safe.

I would definitely recommend Hawaii Real Nature to everyone visiting Oahu!

I was able to see a sea turtle while snorkeling. It is said that for every sea turtle you see, something happy happens. During the snorkeling, I was able to take photos with a waterproof camera, and there was a cheerful atmosphere throughout as participants and staff took pictures for each other.

シュノーケル中にウミガメが泳いでいるのを見ることができました。ウミガメが１匹見るごとに１つ幸せなことが起きるといわれているそうです。シュノーケル中に防水カメラで写真が撮ることができ、参加者同士やスタッフの方に写真を撮ってもらうなど、終始にこやかな雰囲気でした。

The weather was absolutely perfect. I got to see sea turtles, and snorkeling was amazing. The hamburger was delicious too. They lend you snorkeling gear, but I should have brought my own! There were a lot of fish, but the water was a bit murky, so Okinawa might be clearer. However, the guide was really nice!

Disappointed ガッカリ

Reviewed by: ヒロミ

I signed up with my two daughters. We didn't see any dolphins at all... I understand it's wild, but I was really looking forward to it, so it was very disappointing. We did manage to spot a sea turtle from the moving boat, but they didn't slow down for us, and there was no explanation from the guide! As for the light snack? Just one piece of cheese and a paper cup of tea! We had brought our own bottled drinks!

I heard we could retry for half price, but spending nearly 70,000 yen for the three of us to see dolphins... Everyone's spirits dropped, and it turned into a very quiet tour. I regret not signing up for a different tour.

娘達と3人で申し込みました。
イルカには全然会えず……野生なのでしょうがないのでしょうが楽しみにしていただけにとても残念でした。しかも海ガメは走っているボートから自力でなんとか見つけ見ることができましたがスピードを落としてくれるわけでもないし ガイドさんからの説明もなし！軽食？……チーズ1本、紙コップ1杯のお茶！自分達はしっかりペットボトルを持ち込んで飲んでいました！
半額でリトライできるとの事でしたが3人でイルカを見るために7万近いお金は……
皆テンションガタ落ちですごーく静かなツアーとなりました。他のツアーに申し込めば良かったと後悔してます。

Reviewed by: Christian

We already booked the snorkeling trip from our home in Austria and had no expectations at all what we will get as we were snorkeling-novices. On our first day on Maui we made a short trip from our hotel in Kihei to Lahaina to check where our trip will start the next morning. A very friendly lady at the port in Lahaina told us where our snorkeling trip will start and which boat will take us out.
The next morning an extremely friendly captain and his crew welcomed us on board and took us out to two awesome snorkeling spots. On our way we were served breakfast. At the snorkeling spots the crew was enormously helpful with the snorkeling equipment and to get into the water. During the snorkeling the crew members were out on surfboards two overlook the snorkelers. We felt extremely safe and fine.
On our way back we were served lunch with fresh fruits and beverages and nice things to eat.
We can highly recommend this company for booking a snorkeling trip. Unfortunately we did not see any dolphins or green turtles this day, but that is absolutely not the fault of the company.

Maui to Lanai Snorkel Cruise with Breakfast & Lunch from Lahaina

Cruise summary and assesment

Reviewed by: Lynda DeWard

On October 7th we joined the Dolphin watch Snorkel cruise to Lanai. It was quite breezy that day and upon boarding we were informed that because of the weather the cruise to Lanai had to be canceled and alternate snorkel locations would have to be used instead of the live coral reefs originally promised off the coast of Lanai, and further, the activities and relaxing time on Lanai would be out of the question. Although very disappointed we understood the situation and sympathized with the cruise captain. She was very nice and we felt sorry for her. We proceeded to her first chosen snorkel location off the coast of Maui, dropped anchor and began preparation for our first snorkel dip. The underwater scenery was somewhat less than spectacular but the experience was interesting. Not having snorkeled for several years it was an exhilarating experience to paddle in the ocean and explore the ocean floor. Subsequently, we pulled anchor and headed for another snorkel area off the shore of Maui and had our lunch, which was quite good and filling. When we arrived at the second site it was too windy to dive there and we were forced to find another alternative site. Again, interesting but even less spectacular than the first and really too windy to enjoy. Exhausted and chilled we finally headed back to Lahaina harbor for our cruise departure. Final assessment, the crew was very good and experienced, the captain was very good and well informed and handled the situation, much as it was, graciously and all in all we did enjoy ourselves on the cruise, but we didn’t even come close to what we were expecting for our investment.

Maui to Lanai Snorkel Cruise with Breakfast & Lunch from Lahaina

Beautiful Reef Tour Off Maui!

Reviewed by: Brian Soushek

The VELTRA tour I took was the Maui to Lanai Dolphin and Snorkel cruise on October 7th, 2015. The tour was a great opportunity to see the island of Maui from the water and snorkel in beautiful unspoiled coral reefs. The staff on the tour were attentive and hospitable. The food was great and there was plenty of it. We did not get to our destination of Lanai due to poor weather conditions. In my opinion the boat captain made a wise choice in avoiding a possible dangerous trip across the waterway between Maui and Lanai. The captain did offer the option of rescheduling our trip in order to see the island of Lanai, but our group was leaving the next day so this was not something we could do. I would suggest that anyone taking this tour should schedule it at the beginning of their vacation so if there is inclement weather they can change the date and have the full experience. One other concern was that lunch was served between our snorkeling opportunities and on my second snorkel trip I had a full stomach. I don't suggest doing this. If lunch had been served after the second snorkel it would have been easier on me. Overall though, a great time had by my family!

We gathered at the meeting point in the evening! The location provided after checking into the hotel was a bit unclear, and I ended up being slightly late. However, when I contacted the tour company, they responded kindly.

Upon arriving at the meeting point, I met the staff and other participants of the tour for the first time. There were not only Japanese people but also participants from overseas, and we chatted as we set off on the boat. I was excited to hear from the staff that if we spotted a manta ray for the first time and took a picture, we could name it!

Surprisingly, as we moved quickly, we witnessed a large sun setting over the ocean! While enjoying drinks, we gradually approached the sun as it sank into the sea, and we were able to take our time watching the sunset and capturing photos from the boat.

After it got dark, we all entered the water and encountered manta rays! I was able to swim closely with a large manta ray! I took pictures of the manta ray with my digital camera. On the way back, we enjoyed light snacks and had fun chatting with the staff and other participants, savoring the experience of the manta rays. It was a wonderful experience unique to the Big Island that I couldn't have in my daily life!!!

夕方に現地に集合！ホテルチェックイン後に連絡した際に教えてもらった集合場所がややわかりにくく、迷い集合時間を少し過ぎてしまいました。しかし、ツアー会社へ連絡すると、丁寧に対応していただきました。

Dolphin Tour Dolphin Junior High イルカツアー イルカ中学

Reviewed by: ミユキ

On the second day of arriving in Hawaii, I finally went on the long-awaited dolphin tour. Swimming with dolphins has been my dream since I was young. I boarded the yellow school bus of Dolphin Academy and went to meet the dolphins. The blue sky and blue sea of Hawaii provided a dreamlike experience. It felt as if I were swimming in an aquarium, like being in a painting. The color of the sea was wonderfully clear, leaving me speechless. I was able to feel a sense of unity with the beautiful dolphins that I love so much.

The tour was set up like a school, and even though it was only half a day, I felt like a student again. Our guide, Minako, was full of smiles and explained everything clearly, creating a fantastic classroom atmosphere from start to finish. Next, I am considering participating in the Manta University on the Big Island. Thank you for providing such a valuable experience.

At the end, I did get a bit seasick, but I appreciate how kind everyone was. I recommend that those who are not confident about seasickness bring motion sickness medication. It would be a shame for such a precious time to be ruined... *sigh*

Wonderful experience!!

Reviewed by: kshabanov

I booked this tour for my family [ages 3 & 6]... none of us had any snorkeling experience. We all had a great time learning about the islands, sea animals, and snorkeling. The locations were beautiful!! The crew was friendly and helpful--especially when I was trying to get the kids in and out of the boat [and when my son asked for more cookies!].
Once on the water, at least two crew members were floating around on surfboards teaching, offering advice, and helping us swim back to the boat if we were too tired.
It was a little scary to be afloat in the big ocean, but I felt more confident knowing that there were at least 3 people keeping eyes on the water at all times... we even saw 2 pods of dolphins!

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＞

Enjoying the ocean of Hawaii Island to the fullest! ハワイ島の海を大満喫！

Reviewed by: ゆぅちゃん

On October 12th, I went on an adventure aboard the Captain Zodiac. The weather was incredibly nice, hot, and the sun was strong, but as a result, the sea and sky were beautifully clear and blue. Aside from us, there were two couples of foreign tourists, and everyone was friendly, creating a cheerful atmosphere from the moment we set off.

First, we headed out to sea at an amazing speed that made me feel like we might be blown away. Suddenly, we stopped in the middle of the deep blue sea, and the captain said, "Everyone, feel free to jump into the water," as he lowered the ladder. Everyone joyfully jumped into the sea. My husband dove in headfirst. I was a bit taken aback and stayed on the boat. Soon everyone returned, but when the captain asked, "Is there anyone who has any regrets?" one man pointed at me and joked, "She hasn't gone into the water!" I laughed and said, "Oh, I'm a little scared!" and everyone laughed along with me.

After that, we went snorkeling at the Captain Cook monument. The water was very clear, and we were able to see so many fish. Right nearby, there were many wild dolphins swimming, coming close to the boat, suddenly jumping, and swimming at incredible speeds; they were so cute. On the boat, we enjoyed sandwiches, fruits, and snacks while chatting happily, and we had a wonderful time. I thoroughly enjoyed the waters of Hawaii.

10月12日キャプテンソディアック号のアドベンチャーに行ってきました。天気は良すぎるくらいに良くて、暑くて日差しも強かったですが、その分海と空は真っ青に澄み切って綺麗でした。私達以外は外国人のご夫婦が2組でしたが、みなさん気さくで、出発した時から和気あいあいとした雰囲気でした。まずは吹っ飛ばされるのではと思うぐらいの物凄いスピードで沖に向かいました。そして突然どこまでも深く青い海のど真ん中で停止し、キャプテンが「みなさん好きなように海に入って下さい」と言って梯子を下ろしました。みんな喜んで海に飛び込んでいきます。主人も頭から飛び込みをしていました。私は少々面食らってしまい、船の上に留まっていました。すぐにみなさん戻って来ましたが、キャプテンが「みなさん思い残すことはない？」と質問すると、一人の男性が私を指さし「彼女が海に入っていない！」と冗談を言いました。私は「え～、ちょっと怖くって！」と言って笑ってごまかすと、みんなも一緒に笑っていました。その後はキャプテンクックの碑のところでシュノーケリングをしました。透明度が良く本当にたくさんの魚を見ることができました。すぐ近くでは野生のイルカたちがたくさん泳いでいて、船の近くまで寄ってきて突然ジャンプして見せたり、すごいスピードで泳いだりしてとてもかわいかったです。船上ではサンドイッチや果物、スナックなどを皆で楽しく話しながら食べて、とても楽しい時間を過ごすことが出来ました。ハワイの海を大満喫しました。

ハワイ島 ケアラケクア湾シュノーケリングツアー　滑り台や飛び込み台完備の船で行く！＜午前・午後／英語ガイド／食事付＞by フェアウィンド号

It was more fun than I imagined. 想像以上に楽しかった

Reviewed by: たろいもちゃん

We participated in the morning tour as a couple. Three days before the tour, I made a reconfirmation call from the front desk of our hotel (King Kamehameha), but we struggled to communicate (neither of us speaks much English), so we had to ask a hotel staff member to assist us.

On the day of the tour, we took a taxi to the meeting point, which cost about $30 (including tip). After checking in, we received some instructions from the tour guide in front of the boat, but since there was no roof, it was very hot, and I was worried about getting sunburned.

It took about an hour to reach the snorkeling spot. During that time, we could help ourselves to breakfast items like muffins, croissants, and fruits. After that, the tour staff came around to lend us fins, so we communicated our shoe sizes (in US sizes).

When we arrived at the Captain Cook Monument, there was a brief explanation before we started snorkeling. I brought anti-fog solution for my snorkeling mask from Japan, but there was some available on the boat as well.

The water was more transparent than I had imagined, and I was thrilled. There were various fish, and we swam while holding hands. Before participating, I was concerned about the depth of the ocean, but perhaps because we were wearing flotation devices, I didn't feel scared even when we went deeper.

After about an hour of swimming, we had lunch when we heard a signal of "ding ding ding." I think we were able to snorkel for almost another hour after lunch. The return boat was quite rocky, so I was glad I took motion sickness medication.

We chose seats on the first floor, so we didn't have to worry about the sun on the way there, and the breeze felt nice, but on the way back, it was cold because we were wet. The women's restroom on the boat had a broken lock, but it was clean.

On the way back, we encountered a pod of wild dolphins, and the boat stopped for a while to let us see them. We even got to see the dolphins jump. I would love to participate again.

午前のツアーに夫婦で参加しました。
ツアー３日前に宿泊ホテル（キングカメハメハ）のフロントからリコンファームの電話をかけましたが、上手く会話ができず（二人ともほとんど英語が話せません）、途中でホテルの人にかわってもらい対応してもらいました。
当日はタクシーで集合場所へ向かいました。※３０ドル（チップ込み）
チェックイン後、出航前に船の前でツアーの人から注意点等の説明をうけますが、屋根がない場所だったため、とても暑く日焼けが気になりました。
シュノーケリングスポットまでは約一時間。その間、マフィンやクロワッサン・フルーツなどの朝食がセルフで食べられます。そのあとフィンの貸し出しのためツアーの人たちがまわってきてくれますので、自分の足のサイズ（アメリカサイズ）を伝えます。
キャプテンクック記念碑の前につくと、また少し説明があった後シュノーケリングスタートです。日本からシュノーケリングマスクの曇り止め液をもっていきましたが、船内にもありました。
海の中は、想像以上に透明で感激しました。いろんな魚がいて、二人で手をつなぎながら泳ぎました。参加する前は海の深さが気になっていましたが、浮き具をつけていたためか、深めの方へ行っても怖さは感じませんでした。
一時間ほど泳ぐと「カンカンカン」という合図とともに昼食の時間になります。
食後も一時間弱はシュノーケリングできたと思います。
帰りの船は結構揺れたので、酔い止めを飲んでおいて良かったです。
私たちは１階の席にしたので、行きは日差しを気にする必要がなく風も気持ちよかったのですが、帰りは体が濡れているため寒かったです。船内の女子トイレは鍵が壊れていたけどキレイです。
帰りがけに野生のイルカの群れに遭遇し、しばらく船をとめてみせてくれました。イルカのジャンプもみれました。

I participated in Heaven's Sea with high expectations, and I was completely satisfied! I had researched the tide in advance, so I knew it would be high tide, and after landing on the sandbar, I didn't have to worry about the rising water level. More than that, we were blessed with great weather, and I could feel the blue of the sky and the blue of the sea all around me. The tour ended in the blink of an eye. Fun times always seem to fly by, right? (laughs) During the tour, I was also able to see a honu! I definitely want to go back to Heaven's Sea.

かなり期待をして参加した天国の海、もう大満足でした！潮位も予め調べて参加したので、満ち潮であることも調査済みでしたので、サンドバーに上陸後、水位が上がってきても気にすることはありませんでした。それよりも、天気に恵まれ、空の青、海の青を全身で感じることが出来、ツアーはあっという間に終わりました。楽しい時間はすぐに終わってしまいますね笑

Sandbar サンドバー

Reviewed by: あーる

On the bus heading to the sandbar, a cheerful older man was talking non-stop in English, so it might be tough for those who are not good at English. Since the air conditioning was very strong, I think it's a good idea to bring something to wear over your clothes.
As for the sandbar... I had imagined it based on the photos on the website, but in reality, the water came up to about my waist. I guess it's my fault for not knowing that was a possibility.
The BBQ lunch was just a regular hamburger. It was quite ordinary.
I think I saw about two sea turtles?
For snorkeling, they took us to a place with coral and said, "Please feel free to swim." The weather was bad and it was very cold.
I was disappointed because I had high expectations. I felt it was a waste to spend a whole day like this. If the weather had been good, it might have been different.

サンドバーへ向かうバスの中は、陽気なおじさんがひたすら英語でしゃべっていたので、英語が苦手な方はつらいかも？クーラーガンガンなので、羽織るものを持っていくとよいと思います。
サンドバーは。。。ＨＰに掲載されている写真をイメージしていましたが、実際は腰の辺りまで海面がきていました。その可能性があること知らなかった自分が悪いですね。
ＢＢＱランチはただのハンバーガーです。至って普通です。
ウミガメは２頭ぐらい見えたかな？って感じです。
シュノーケリングも、サンゴのある所に連れて行ってくれて、「どうぞ自由に泳いでください」みたいな感じです。天気も悪く、とても寒かったです。
期待しすぎた分、がっかりしました。私は、これで一日がつぶれるのはもったいないと感じました。天気が良ければ違ったかもしれませんね。

I participated with my 80-year-old mother. The guides were really kind and carried my mother to the sandbar. Thank you very much. Since the weather can change quickly, it's good to have something to cover up with, as well as an umbrella or raincoat. Bring a swimsuit, shorts, beach sandals, and a hotel towel. You can get on the bus just as you are on the way back. The snorkeling time is quite short, so it's best to think of it as just a little experience. You can see sea turtles and take photos at the sandbar, making for a really enjoyable half-day.

80才の母と参加しました。ガイドさんたちが本当に親切で、母を抱えてサンドバーまで連れてきてくれました。ありがとうございました。天候が変わりやすいので何かはおるものと傘か合羽があると良いです。水着に短パン、ビーチサンダル、ホテルのタオル。帰りはそのままバスに乗り込めます。シュノーケルの時間はほんの少しなので、体験程度と思った方が良いです。ウミガメを見たりサンドバーで写真を撮ったり、なかなか楽しい半日が過ごせますよ。

The day we arrived at the sandbar was just at low tide, so we were able to stay for about two hours. We snorkeled and took photos. We were also able to see honu (sea turtles) nearby. I had seen it in commercials and had always wanted to visit, and it was indeed a beautiful place, just as I expected. I think it's a good idea to check the tide schedule before booking a tour.

サンドバーにあがったその日はちょうど干潮でしたので２時間くらい滞在することができました。シュノーケルしたり写真を撮ったり。近くではホヌ(海がめ)を見ることもできました。ＣＭでも見たことがあって、一度は行ってみたいと思っていましたが、予想通りほんとに綺麗な場所でした。ツアーに参加予約される前に潮の干満を調べておいた方が良いと思います。

マンタ大学夜学部　野生のマンタ＆ナイトシュノーケリングツアー ＜送迎可／日本語スタッフ乗船日あり＞

It was moving! 感動でした！

Reviewed by: Shimakko

On my first trip to the Big Island, I participated in a manta ray snorkeling tour on the night of the supermoon! I got lost because I mixed up the meeting place, but the captain found us, and we were able to join the group safely. The warm words from our guide really helped us feel at ease.

Both the captain and the guide were very efficient, and since the tour company had a private space at the harbor, we were able to change into our wetsuits while sitting down, which made everything smooth. Once we were ready, we boarded the boat and set off immediately.

It was cloudy when we left the harbor, but we were able to catch a glimpse of the sunset as we spent about 40 minutes on the boat before arriving at the snorkeling point. I learned that there are different types of manta rays, and the one we can see around the Big Island is the "Oniitomakie," which can grow as large as 6 meters.

We quickly adjusted our snorkeling masks and entered the water. Even though it was snorkeling, we could rely on the buoyancy of the wetsuits and just stay near the light that attracted plankton, so I think even those who can't swim or are not comfortable in the water can enjoy this activity.

Within about 5 to 10 minutes, manta rays came to us! They opened their mouths wide, floated on their backs to take in plankton, and kept circling back to us. It was amazing to see them up close, even though we weren't allowed to touch them; they came so close that it felt like they were bumping into us! It was truly moving! Seeing wild manta rays at such a close distance, even closer than at an aquarium, felt like a dream! We were able to see two smaller manta rays and two medium-sized ones repeatedly, so we got to enjoy watching four of them multiple times.

After the tour, we were treated to warm cocoa, snacks, and cereal bars to take care of our bodies. On the way back, we cruised under the full moon! It was the best tour where we could experience a sense of unity with nature!

今回初めてのハワイ島旅行で、スーパームーンの夜にマンタシュノーケルのツアーへ参加しました！！
待ち合わせ場所を間違え迷ってしまったのですが、船長が私たちを発見してくれ無事合流、ガイドさんの大変暖かい言葉にとても救われました。
船長もガイドさんも手際がよく、又ツアー会社がハーバーにプライベートスペースを持っていたためウェットスーツへの着替えも椅子に座ってできたためスムーズ。支度を済ませたらボートに乗り込みすぐに出発。
ハーバーから曇っていたけどちょっと見れた夕焼けを背に40分程度船に乗りシュノーケルポイントに到着。
「マンタ」と言っても種類があるそうで、ハワイ島で見ることが出来るのは「オニイトマキエイ」というマンタで、大きなものは６ｍもあるそうです。
私たちもシュノーケルマスクを合わせてすぐに着水。シュノーケルと言ってもウェットスーツの浮力を使い、プランクトンを引き寄せるライトに捕まっているだけでよいので、泳げない人でも極端な話水が苦手な人でも出来るアクティビティだと思います。

開始5～１０分程度ですぐに私たちのところもマンタが来てくれました！！
大きく口を空けて仰向けになってプランクトンを取り込みくるりと回りまた仰向けになり・・を繰り返して何度も来てくれました！！
触ってはいけないのですが、向こうからぶつかってくる程目の前で見ることが出来て、とても感動的です！！水族館のガラスに張り付くよりも近い距離で野生のマンタが見れるなんて夢みたいでした！
私たちの所には２匹の小さめのマンタと２匹の中くらいのマンタが繰り返し来てくれて、４匹を何度も見ることが出来ました☆

終わった後は暖かいココアとお菓子やシリアルバーで身体に気を遣っていただきました。帰りは満月の下をクルーズして帰りました！自然との一体感を味わえる最高のツアーでした☆

I couldn't encounter the turtle... 亀さんには遭遇できず・・・

Unfortunately, I couldn't meet the turtles that are usually in the area.

I was able to see various fish. The guide carefully taught me the tips for snorkeling, which made the experience enjoyable and reassuring. They were a great guide.

最近はいつも居る場所にも亀が居ないそうで、残念ながら会えませんでした。

いろんな、魚はみれました。
シュノーケルのコツを丁寧に教えて頂け、安心して体験出来ました。
良いガイドさんでした。

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＞

I couldn't see the sandbar. サンドバー見れず；

Reviewed by: hana

The day we participated was cloudy, and the water level was high, so we couldn't see the sandbar. However, the water was incredibly clear, and it was transparent in the shallow areas. In the snorkeling spots, it was a bit dark and murky, but we could see plenty of fish and coral. And the hamburger for lunch was really delicious! (laughs)

私たちが参加した日は曇りで水位も高くサンドバーは見れませんでした‐‐；
ですが水はめちゃくちゃ綺麗で浅瀬では透き通っていました。シュノーケリングする所では
多少暗くて濁ってはいましたが、魚や珊瑚もばっちり見れました＾＾
そしてお昼のハンバーガーがめっちゃ美味しかったです！！(笑)

snorkeling シュノーケリング

Reviewed by: さおり

Snorkeling was fun! I was able to see fish! On the way back on the bus, it was too cold. I wished they wouldn't blast the air conditioning since everyone was wet.

シュノーケリング楽しかった！魚もみれました！帰りのバスの中、寒すぎ。みんな体濡れているから、クーラーガンガンつけないでほしかった

Deluxe Captain Cook Snorkeling Tour at Kealakekua Bay - Fair Wind Cruises

Morning Snorkel

Reviewed by: Lenora

My husband, mom and I went on the Fair Wind Kealakekua Bay Snorkeling Sail. We had a great time the staff was awesome. The boat was very clean and beautiful. My mom is 75 and didn't snorkel but the crew was very nice and made sure she had everything she needed. When we return to Kona we will take this cruise again. The crew was very knowledgeable and made sure we knew everything we were seeing. The families with kids looked like they were having a great time especially on the high dive and slides. The area we went to was beautiful. We saw a shark hiding in the reef and many beautiful fish and coral. The food was great.

Maui to Lanai Snorkel Cruise with Breakfast & Lunch from Lahaina

A nice time with the family

Reviewed by: Julie

We recently went on the Maui to Lanai Dolphin watch and snorkel trip. Unfortunately not under the control of the crew but the weather was not great and winds were strong enough that we could not make the trip to Lanai. I would have rescheduled as they gave us that as an option but we left the next day so it was not possible. So instead the captain tried to make the best of it by taking us down the west coast of Maui. We stopped at the first snorkel spot and it was good- really far from the reefs so kind of difficult to see much. They gave us about an hour here and then we were supposed to move further south to the next location. When we arrived the weather had picked up so she turned around to head back. They finally settled on a location to let us snorkel again and the seas were rough- better snorkeling though once we got in. However they didn't leave us much time in the water and by the time we got out they said we were to close to the harbor to even have our free drink allowance so 3 people in our party missed out on that :( Bummer since they wouldn't serve it to us prior to snorkeling. Didn't get to see dolphins either (which is why my son wanted to take this trip) but I also know that is not guaranteed. Overall the crew made the best of a bad weather situation. Maybe next time.....

Hawaii Nautical 2-Hour Waikiki Turtle Snorkel Sail - Morning & Afternoon Tours [Apr-Nov]

Turtles! TURTLES! MORE TURTLES!!!

Reviewed by: Hawaii Kitty

When they say "Turtles Guaranteed", they are not joking. After a quick sail from the harbor to the snorkel (about 15 to 20 minutes) we dived in to see like six or seven large Hawaiian green sea turtles relaxing beneath us. It was absolutely incredible :D

The spot they took us to is this amazing location where turtles like to congregate and chill out while they get their shells cleaned off by schools of fish. Since we went on the morning snorkel, we beat the crowds and got to swim and snorkel leisurely without any fuss.

I didn't think to bring a GoPro or an underwater camera, but if you have one, or can get your hands on one, DO IT! The photo opportunities are amazing. The turtles like to lazily swim around and they are just so photogenic.

Great tour! Can't wait to go again!!!
