This was AWESOME! Great day on the bay with a really fun crew. Volleyball on the sandbar, BBQ, music and then snorkeking on the reef - AFTER turtle watching! Cant say enough good things. Our second cruise with Captain Bobs - would definitely do it again.

Awesome!

Our entire family loved this day cruise. The crew on the boat were all very knowledgeable and the sandbar, turtle bay and reef were all some of the coolest sights we saw on Oahu. Hope you get Jenner on your boat, he's the best! He went out snorkeling on the reef with my husband and showed him all kinds of cool stuff!

Kona Sunset & Moonlight Wild Manta Ray Snorkel Tour - Wahine Charters

Great experience with tha manta rays, but service below expectations

Reviewed by: Riccardo

We went on moonlight snorkeling tour and saw four manta rays, two quite big, they are so graceful dancing in the water below the light and passing inches from our bodies without touching us and without any fear. This experience is one to be remembered for the lifetime.
Said that, the service given is below expectations.
Let's start from pricing, no reduced price for the one that is not going off board snorkeling.
We arrived on time for the check in and the boat wasn't in the water yet, due to a problem with the truck. Maybe the info on the tour had been already given to the other participants, but nothing more for us. I recieved the wet suit, even though there was no locker room to change, only the marina restrooms.
Anyhow the boat went in the water just in time to go onboard, no gangboard, assuming people is used to jump on and off board.
We went quite fast to the point where manta rays are usually seen, there was already another boat from a different charter, we stood just aside them.
Gear provided by them, good quality, no water entered during all the visit.
Just few basic rules, do not dive, do not touch them, do not kick them, lay horizontally and stay attached to the plastic board, which hosts lights to attract plancton.
As said at the beginning, the experience is really wonderful and makes me almost forget the service part.
Returning onboard, just a minute to remove the wet suit, get dry, have a glass of hot soup and go back as fast as possible to the harbour.
A formal and quick goodbye and that's it.
Overall you cannot miss the mant rays snorkeling experience, but consider also other service providers with respect to this one.

サンドバー　キャプテンブルース　天国の海®︎シュノーケリングクルーズ　SUPや浮き輪などレンタルアイテムも！＜午前・午後／日本語クルー＞

The staff is wonderful. スタッフがすばらしい

Reviewed by: YKashi

I participated with my wife and mother. Unfortunately, the weather was cloudy with occasional rain, which dampened our spirits a bit, but thanks to the staff's enthusiasm, we had a great time. First, the sea turtles were quite elusive, but finally, one appeared in the distance, and everyone was excited! We checked the tide schedule for the sandbar and arrived just as the tide was low enough to expose it to our ankles, allowing us to take photos in various poses. We walked about 100 meters from the boat to the sandbar, and since the water depth near the boat was about 80 cm, it seemed difficult for my 88-year-old mother to disembark and walk, so we decided to have her wait on the boat. My wife and I headed to the sandbar, but when we looked back towards the boat, we saw my mother being helped by two staff members as they brought her over. Thanks to them, my mother safely arrived at the sandbar and was very happy. I was moved by the kindness, thoughtfulness, and consideration of the staff. The sea, scenery, and the tour itself were wonderful, but the staff who supported it were also amazing.

家内と母親と3名で参加しました。当日はあいにく曇り、時々雨という天気で、気分も曇りがちでしたが、スタッフの方々の盛り上げで楽しいひと時を過ごすことが出来ました。まず海がめ、
なかなか現れませんでしたが、やっと一匹遠くに現れ、みんな大騒ぎ！でした。サンドバーは一番潮が引く時間を調べて参加したので、予定通り足首位いまで潮が引き、思い思いのポーズで写真を撮り合いました。船からサンドバーまで約100m位歩き、また下船するあたりの水深は80ｃｍ位あるので、88歳のの母親には下船し歩くのは無理そうでしたので、船で待ってもらう事し、家内と二人でサンドバーに向かいましたが、我々がサンドバー近くで船の方向を見ると、母親がスタッフ二人にに両脇を抱えられてこちらに向かってくるのが分かりました。お陰様で母親もサンドバーに無事到着し大変喜びでした。スタッフの方々の優しさ、思いやり、そして気配りに感動しました、海も風景も企画も素晴らしいツアーですが、それを支えるスタッフの皆さんも素晴らしい方々です。

The sea turtles are too cute! ウミガメがかわいすぎます！

Reviewed by: ねこらぶ

It was a day with cloudy skies and occasional rain when I visited (during Golden Week in 2015), but fortunately, it hardly rained at all, and the weak sunlight occasionally broke through, making the color of the sea shine beautifully.

When a sea turtle popped its head up from the boat, it truly made my heart flutter! Just seeing the turtle (which is called "honu" in Hawaiian) is so soothing! For a while after returning home, just thinking about the honu brought me peace of mind.

I really want to go see the honu again! I highly recommend this tour where you can see such turtles! I hope to join the sandbar tour again next time when the weather is nice. I was also able to snorkel with peace of mind.

Everyone, please consider joining this tour!

私が行ったときは曇り時々雨、、というのが気になった日（2015年のGW）でしたが、幸いほとんど雨も降ることなく、弱い日差しが時々入り込み、そのときは海の色が輝いてとてもきれいでした。
そしてウミガメさんが船上から顔を出してくれた時は、本当に心トキメキものでした！！
カメ（ハワイ語ではホヌというんですって）って、ただ見るだけで癒されるんですね～！
帰国後しばらくは、ホヌ様のことを考えているだけで、心ホッとしたものです。。
またホヌ様に会いに行きたいなぁ～、って思っています。
そんなカメを見ることができるこちらのツアーお勧めです！
サンドバーは、次回は天気の良い時にまた参加できたらいいな、と思っています。
シュノーケリングも安心してさせていただくことができましたよ。
みなさんぜひこちらのツアーご参加くださいまし！

ハナウマ湾シュノーケリング　日本語ガイドが海の世界へご案内＜シュノーケルセット／終日＞

Thank you for the heartfelt support. こころ尽くしのサポートに感謝

Reviewed by: 松原　猛

This snorkeling tour was truly amazing.
I live in Wakayama, so I've done some snorkeling before, but I never imagined being so close to a school of fish, especially with them approaching without any fear.
My wife, who has no snorkeling experience, was guided to the points while holding my hand, and she was also very impressed.
On that day, we didn't seem to encounter any turtles, but when they asked, "Shall we try a little longer?" and stayed with us, it was incredibly moving when we finally saw a turtle swimming gracefully—two of them, in fact!
This experience has greatly enhanced the memories of our trip to Hawaii.
I've traveled abroad many times, but this has become my most memorable experience.
Also, thank you very much for the careful guidance on downloading the photos afterward.
We are definitely planning to participate again next year.

今回のシュノーケリングツアー、まさに感激の一言です
和歌山に住んでいますので、シュノーケリングの真似事はしましたが
今回のように魚群を間近にしたこと、しかも彼らが何の警戒心もなく
近づいてくるなんて想像もできませんでした
また、シュノーケリングの経験が無い妻には手を引いてポイントまで
案内していただき、妻も大感激していました
この日は、カメに遭遇できないようでしたが「ではもう少し頑張りましょうか」と
我々の要望にお答えいただき、お付き合いいただいて
つい優雅に泳ぐにカメさんを目にしたときは、感動ものでした
しかも２頭です！！
この体験で、今回のハワイ旅行の思い出が、何倍のにも膨らみました
これまで多くの海外旅行をしましたが

Captain Bruce is the best! キャプテンブルース最高

Reviewed by: Hitomi

This time, the weather wasn't great for the heavenly sea. The sandbar didn't appear, but perhaps it was because it was Captain Bruce's tour? I felt very satisfied. The meals served on the boat were more than enough. The staff were also kind, and next time, I definitely want to see the sandbar at low tide. I would like to choose Captain Bruce's tour again for that occasion.

天気に恵まなかった今回の天国の海でした。サンドバーも出なかったけど、キャプテンブルースのツアーだったからか？満足感いっぱいです。船の上で食べる食事にしては十分過ぎる程でした。スタッフの方々も親切で、次回こそは干潮時にサンドバーを必ず見たいなー。その時もキャプテンブルースのツアーにしたいと思います。

The guide was unfriendly, and there was racially discriminatory treatment. I will never use this service again. 無愛想な案内人、人種差別的対応、２度と利用しない。

Reviewed by: ken

I love Hawaii and its people, so I don't want to write anything negative, but it was just too terrible...

- We gathered early in the morning at the Sheraton meeting point. However, even when it was time to gather, there was no sign of the guide or bus. After waiting for nearly 20 minutes, and seeing that others with the same voucher were also anxious, I called the number on the voucher. The response was normal (in English), and the bus arrived shortly after.

- The person who came out was a dark-skinned man (somewhat homeless-looking). He didn't say a word about the delay and led us into the vehicle without any friendliness.

- Well, we tried to shake it off and after a few minutes on the bus, we arrived at the port. I was excited, but there was no sign of any boat arriving. The guide didn't even say "just wait a moment," and was off to the side smoking a cigarette. He really didn't say anything at all.

- After waiting another 20 minutes, two boats finally arrived, and I thought we could finally board! However, the preparations were slow. Just when I thought we were ready to board, they said, "Americans, Canadians, and Australians, please go to this boat!" and we were directed to board first. After that, a few groups of Japanese people were called to the same boat. Once they all boarded, they said, "The remaining Japanese, come over here!" (in a joking manner, all in English) and directed us to a different boat. While I didn't feel much difference in the facilities or crowding on the boats, I experienced a sense of racial discrimination for the first time in Hawaii. After being made to wait for so long, to receive that kind of treatment without even an apology was quite unpleasant. It wasn't that one boat was entirely in English and they separated people based on language ability; both were guided in Japanese.

- The subsequent service was fairly normal and somewhat friendly, and the experience in the beautiful sea was enjoyable.

- However, considering the poor service, I cannot recommend this place. I think it would be better to choose another tour company if there is one available.

- Also, according to Hawaii state law, life jackets are mandatory, and everyone was wearing them on the dolphin tour the day before, but on this tour, they said, "If you're confident, it's okay not to wear one!" Is safety management okay?

- That's all. I often use Veltra, but the operators they recommend are honestly really bad.

ハワイとハワイの人達は好きなのでなるべく悪いことは書きたくないものの、あまりにも酷かったので。。

・シェラトンの集合場所に朝早く集合。しかし、集合時間になってもそれらしいガイド&バスは全然現れず。。20分近く待って、同じバウチャーを持ってる他の人たちも不安そうだったので、バウチャーの電話番号に電話。対応は普通(英語)で、すぐバスが現れました。

・出てきたのは黒く焼けたおじさん(やや浮浪者風)。遅れたことに対して一言もなく、無愛想に車内に案内される。

・まあ、気を取り直してバスで数十分。港に到着。いよいよかーと思って待ってたものの、それらしき船が到着する雰囲気無し。ガイドのおっさんは、「ちょっとまっててね」すら言わず、はじっこでタバコ吸ってる。本当に何も話さない。

・また20分ほど待つと、船が2隻到着し、やっと乗れるー！と思ったものの、準備はモタモタ。乗船準備が整ったと思ったら、「アメリカ人、カナダ人
オーストラリア人はこっちの船へどうぞ！」と、先に誘導された。その後で、名前を呼ばれた日本人数組が同じ船に。
そして、その人達が全員乗船し終わったら、「残りの日本人はみんなこっちだー！」(おどけ気味、全部英語)と案内され、別の船に。
船の設備や、混み具合で差があった感じはしなかったけれども、人種差別的な雰囲気をハワイで初めて感じとりました。かなり待たされたのに、お待たせしましたもなく、その対応かよ！とかなり不快に感じました。別に片方の船が全部英語だから、話せる人と話せない人で分けた、とかでもなく、どちらも日本語でガイドしてました。

・その後の対応は別に普通、そこそこフレンドリーな感じではあったし、天国の海自体は楽しかった。

・だけど、対応の悪さを考えると、ここはオススメしません。別のツアー会社があるならそちらの方がいいと思います。

・あと、ハワイの州法で、ライフジャケットが義務付けられてると前日のイルカツアーで言ってて、そのツアーでは皆しっかりつけてたけど、このツアーでは「自信ある人は無くても大丈夫！」と言ってました。安全管理平気なの？

・以上です。ベルトラさんはよく利用させてもらってるけど、斡旋先の業者ははっきりいって本当にダメです。

モロキニ島シュノーケリングクルーズ ＜朝・昼食付／現地集合＞

I was able to see many sea turtles! 海ガメをたくさん見ることが出来ました！

Reviewed by: ともし

I signed up for a plan that included transportation. When I arrived at the boarding location, there were about 30 to 40 participants, most of whom were from Europe and America, with only three Asians, including myself. However, you can rest assured that a very kind Japanese female guide will take care of you in detail.

Even in Hawaii, the water temperature is low. I wore a rash guard, so I didn't rent one, but it might be a good idea to rent a wetsuit if needed (costs $10). There was a shower with warm water on the boat, so I took a shower every time I got out of the sea.

As for Molokini Island, to be honest, I didn't see many colorful fish. However, the sunlight filtering through the water made the seabed incredibly beautiful, and I was captivated by it. For lunch, we had hamburgers where we could add as many vegetables as we liked. The basic rule was one per person, but if there were leftovers, we could have seconds. I was one of the first to go, but by the time I was offered "Would you like another one?" after the meal, there were hardly any vegetables left. I recommend going early. But I was able to enjoy a hamburger with two beef patties, savoring the taste of the meat.

At the snorkeling spot we headed to after lunch, I was able to see many sea turtles. While searching for sea turtles on the seabed, they would suddenly appear next to me, and I would hurriedly swim away. I think it's quite difficult to see sea turtles while swimming on Oahu, but here I was able to see many.

For those who want to snorkel at Molokini Island, see sea turtles, or are anxious about their English skills, I highly recommend this tour!! (Of course, since it's nature, there's no guarantee you'll see sea turtles...) Above all, the way the Japanese female guide interacted with us was not the typical condescending attitude often seen from Japanese living abroad; it was very pleasant, allowing me to truly enjoy the experience. (Personally, I’m not fond of that typical attitude.)

If I visit Maui again, I would like to use this service.

送迎付きプランで申し込みました。
乗船場所に着くと3~40人程参加者がいましたが、そのほとんどは欧米の方でアジア人というか日本人は私を含めて3人だけでした。
ですが、ご安心ください。とても親切な日本人女性のガイドさんが細々と面倒を見てくださいます。

ハワイと言え水温が低いです。ラッシュガードを着ていたので借りませんでしたが、場合によってはウエットスーツのレンタルを利用すると良いでしょう。（要10ドル）
船に温水の出るシャワーがあったので、海からあがる度に浴びていました。
モロキニ島ですが、正直あまり色鮮やかな魚を見ることはできませんでした。
しかし日の光がさしこむ海底がとても美しく、魅入ってしまいました。
お昼は自分で好きなだけ野菜を挟めるハンバーガーでした。基本1人1つですが、余ればおかわりOKでした。私は1番最初に取りに行ったのですが、食後「もう1ついかが？」と言われた時には野菜はほとんどありませんでした。早めがおススメですよ。
でもビーフパテを2枚も挟んでもらって肉の味を楽しめるハンバーガーを楽しむことが出来ました。
食後向かったシュノ―ケリングスポットでは海ガメをたくさん見ることが出来ました。
海ガメを探して海底を探していると、いつの間にか隣にいたりして慌てて泳いで離れたものです。
オアフ島で泳いでいる海ガメを見ることはなかなか難しいかと思いますが、こちらではたくさん見ることが出来ました。

モロキニ島でシュノ―ケリングしたい方、海ガメを見たい方、英語が不安な方。
このツアーとってもおススメですよ！！
（もちろん自然相手なので絶対に海ガメが見れるわけではありませんが…）
なにより日本人女性ガイドさんの接し方が海外に住む日本人にありがちな上から目線で距離感を保たないくだけた態度ではなく、とても心地よいもので心から楽しむことができました。
（個人的にはあのありがちな態度は苦手です）

またマウイ島を訪れることがあれば利用したいと思っています。

The sea was beautiful. 海はキレイでした。

Reviewed by: YUKI

The water temperature was a bit low and it was cold. I thought I would be able to swim with the sea turtles during the sea turtle watching, but we could only see them from the boat. It seems we can't touch the sea turtles. But they were cute! We also saw manta rays! There were many Japanese people, and it was quite crowded during snorkeling, making it difficult to swim as other people's feet kept bumping into me. The fish were very beautiful. Since it was an early morning plan, we were in a hurry, but I think the timing was just right as staying too long would have been tiring. There were many couples and some families as well. It became a great memory!

水温が少し低くて寒かったです。ウミガメウォッチということでウミガメと一緒に泳げるかと思ったら船の上から見るだけでした。ウミガメには触れないらしいです。でも可愛かったです♪マンタにも会えました！日本人が多くシュノーケリングでは他の人の足が当たるくらい密集してて泳ぎにくかったです。魚はとてもキレイでした。早朝プランなので急ぎ足でしたがあまり長くいると疲れるのでちょうどの時間だと思いました。カップルが多く、家族連れの方もいました。良い思い出になりました！

There was a little time for snorkeling, and although it was my first time and I didn't quite know what I was doing, I managed. However, the time was short, and it might have been better just to observe.

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＞

You can enjoy it even if you don't understand English. 英語が分からなくても楽しめる

Reviewed by: ヤジマタツロウ

On the fourth day of our stay on the Big Island, we participated in a tour. I was hesitant about the speedboat and the English tour, but I enjoyed it thoroughly.

In our tour, my wife and I were the only Japanese participants; the others were travelers from the mainland United States. The Americans were cheerful, and there was a lot of excitement among the staff and the guests, as well as among the guests themselves. My wife and I are not good at English, so we felt a bit out of place, but we were prepared for that, so it didn't bother us too much.

On the way to the bay, we were able to see not only dolphins but also a false killer whale (I couldn't understand the English name, so I looked it up after returning to Japan, and I think that's what it was), which was nice to see. The snorkeling at Kealakekua Bay was enjoyable because the terrain is better than at Kahalu'u Beach Park or Hanauma Bay on Oahu. There are some deep areas in the ocean, so my wife said she was scared in places where she couldn't touch the bottom, but they lent us a flotation device, so she was able to snorkel with peace of mind.

The view of the Big Island from the sea was also wonderful, and I believe this tour is worth participating in.

　ハワイ島滞在４日目に参加しました。
スピードボートと英語ツアーに尻込みしていましたが、十分楽しめました。

　私達が参加したツアーは、やはり日本人は私と妻だけ、他はアメリカ本土からの旅行者の方々でした。
　アメリカの人たちは陽気なので、スタッフとツアー客、ツアー客同士でかなり盛り上がってました。
　私と妻は英語がぜんぜん駄目なので、アウェイ感が強かったですが、元々覚悟していたのであまり気になりませんでした。
　湾に行く途中、イルカだけでなく、コビレゴンドウクジラ（英語が分からなく聞けなかったので、日本に帰ってから調べたので、多分そうだと思う）がゆっくり見られて、良かったです。
　ケアラケクア湾でのシュノーケリングも、カハルウビーチパークやオアフ島のハナウマ湾よりも地形が良い為に楽しめました。海が深い場所もあるので、妻は足が付かないところは怖いと言っていましたが、浮き棒を貸してくれたので、安心してシュノーケリングをやってました。

I definitely think the course with breakfast included is better. 朝食付きコースの方が断然いいと思う

Reviewed by: タンタン

This was a tour I hurriedly booked at the last minute, knowing that it was something I couldn't do on my own. I wasn't sure whether to choose the morning or afternoon option, but I went with the afternoon tour, which included various activities.

After getting on the pickup bus from the hotel and arriving at the port, I saw two boats returning from the morning tour, both completely full! At that moment, I realized that this tour should be done in the morning. Unfortunately, it was a cloudy day. I comforted myself by thinking that it wouldn't have made a difference if we had gone in the morning. There was only one boat for the afternoon tour.

First, we headed to the sandbar. While it was indeed shallow, the sandy beach shown in the photos was nowhere to be seen. I learned that this beach appears twice a day due to the tides, but it doesn't mean it's visible all the time. The guide mentioned it appears during a full moon, and when I asked when that was, I found out it was today! I regretted not booking the morning tour... At around 10 AM, the tide was low, and the beach was visible. By the time we arrived, it was already past noon, and unfortunately, the water was only knee-deep at its shallowest.

To lift our spirits, the crew invited us to play beach volleyball. While we played for about 40 minutes, they were grilling hamburgers on the boat, which they called a barbecue. However, this turned out to be a mistake. We should have quickly returned to the boat to grab our hamburgers. By the time we got back, there was already a long line. Since the toppings were self-serve, it took a lot of time. The boat was already moving to the next snorkeling spot.

While others were finishing their meals, it took us over 30 minutes to finally get our food. I thought there would be enough for everyone, but to my dismay, there were no toppings left (crying). When I asked the Japanese guide, "Is there really none left?" he simply replied, "No, there isn't." Looking sad, the man grilling the hamburgers gave me another patty! However, just as I finally started eating, we arrived at the next snorkeling spot.

On the way, we passed a spot where sea turtles were supposed to be, but since we were waiting for our hamburgers, we couldn't see anything...

The snorkeling time was relatively ample, and we enjoyed it. However, there were too many people... We were warned not to go anywhere else and just circle around the large coral.

At the end, there was a request for tips, but I didn't feel inclined to give anything to the Japanese guide. Instead, I gave a tip to another staff member who had been very helpful. As we were returning from snorkeling, the sun occasionally peeked through the clouds, and the weather improved, making it enjoyable.

While I would like to go on this sandbar tour again, I think I would choose a morning tour with snacks or join a different company's tour. I was quite fed up with waiting for the so-called lunch of hamburgers. There was no place to sit, so we had to eat standing up. I definitely recommend sitting outside with the captain, as there is space for bags there, but nowhere else. Also, the Japanese guests were gathered by the captain for a talk, and we had to enter and exit the boat with him.

You definitely shouldn't sit at the back of the boat. It looks like a good spot, but many people go to the captain's seat to take photos (only the Japanese were doing this...), and they use the seating area as a stepping stone, which makes everything muddy.

It's a fun tour, but I wonder if cramming everyone in without any seating is really the best approach. If that's the case, a tour without any food might have been more relaxing (the floor gets muddy with food scraps... haha).

これだけは個人で行けないことを知って出発ぎりぎりになって慌てて申し込んだツアー。

ホテルからのピックアップバスに乗って港へ着くと、ちょうど朝便で２隻お船が帰ってきました。
２隻満タン！やはりこのツアーは朝に行くべきなんだとそのとき悟りました。
この日はあいにく曇り。なので朝行っても同じだよね～と自分たちを慰めて出発。昼便のお船は１隻のみです。

まずはサンドバーへ。確かに遠浅ですが写真にあるような砂浜は見えません。
潮の満ち引きによって現れるといわれるこの砂浜は１日に2回あるそうなのですが、いつでも見れるというわけではないようです。
満月のとき、とガイドさんに言われ、では満月っていつなんですか～?と聞くとなんと今日！え～朝便に申し込めばよかったと後悔・・・
このときは朝10時がちょうど引き潮で砂浜が見えていたのだそうです。
私たちが行ったときは既に正午過ぎ・・残念ながらもっとも浅くてひざ下でした。

気分を盛り上げようと船員さんたちがビーチバレーに誘ってくれます。ここで40分くらい遊んでる間に船ではバーベキューと称するハンバーガーを焼いてくれます。
しかしこれが曲者。遊んでないでさっさと船にあがってハンバーガーを受け取るべきでした。
号令がかかってから船に戻ると既に長蛇の列。中に挟む具はセルフで取るのでと～～っても時間がかかるのです。すでに船は次のシュノーケルスポットに向けて移動中。

どんどん人が食べ終わっているのにありつけるまでに30分以上かかりました。
全員分は用意されてるよね、とのんびり構えていたら、なんと具がありませんでした（泣）
日本人ガイドさんに「もうないんですか?」と聞くと、「はい、ありません」とだけ。
悲しい顔をしているとハンバーガーの肉を焼いているおじさんがもう一切れくれました～♪
しかし、ようやく食べ始めたら船は次のシュノーケルスポットに到着。

この間に、ウミガメのいるスポットを通っていきます。でもハンバーガー待ちで並んでいるので全然見えず・・・・

シュノーケルはわりとたっぷり時間があって堪能できました。でも人が多すぎて・・・大きなサンゴの周りを１周するだけで他のところには行かないよう注意されます。

最後にちゃっかりチップの要求はありましたが、とてもこの日本人ガイドさんに渡す気にはなれませんでした。なので他のよくしてくれたスタッフの方にお渡ししました♪
シュノーケルの時間から帰りがけになると時折陽が差して天気が良くなり楽しめました。

もう一度このサンドバーのツアーに行きたいとは思いますが、やはり午前のスナックつきのツアーにするか、他社さんのツアーに参加すると思います。
それくらい、昼食と称するハンバーガー待ちにはうんざりでした。
座る場所もなく立ち食いなので、席は絶対に船頭の屋外をお勧めします。そこなら荷物を入れる場所がありますが、それ以外はありません。そして日本人は船頭に集められて話をされますし船から海への出入りも船頭となります。
間違っても座ってはいけないのは船尾。一見良さそうですがいろんな人が船長席に行って写真を取るので（そんなことをしているのは日本人だけでしたが・・・）座る場所を踏み台にして登るので荷物も座るところもドロドロにされちゃいます。

楽しいツアーではありますが、座る場所もないくらい詰め込むのはどうかな～と思いました。だとしたら何も食べ物がないツアーの方が気が楽だったかも（足元は食べかすなどでドロドロになるんです・・・笑）

Big Island Snorkel Cruise to the Kohala Coast & Waikoloa with Lunch and Open Bar - Ocean Sports

Awesome Trip

Reviewed by: DJS

This is an amazing snorkeling adventure. The staff is very knowledgeable - very attentive - and everyone of them went out of their way to make this a memorable (and safe) experience for us. One of the guides brought up sea urchins and starfish for everyone to enjoy! Highly recommend!

ハナウマ湾シュノーケリング　日本語ガイドが海の世界へご案内＜シュノーケルセット／終日＞

My long-cherished wish has come true! 念願叶った‼️

Reviewed by: べる子

I read in a review that there were only fish of the same color, but the guide knows where to find the fish, so they will take you to places with rare fish. There were many beautifully colored fish swimming right in front of me. Next time, I want to see a sea turtle. I definitely recommend the tour.

口コミで、同じ色の魚しかいなかった。とありましたが、ガイドさんは、魚のいる場所を分かっているので、珍しい魚のいる場所まで、連れて行ってくれます。綺麗な色の魚が沢山、目の前を泳いでいました。今度はウミガメを見たいです。絶対にツアーがオススメ。

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＞

It's cold. 寒い

Reviewed by: kuuuu

It was an afternoon in May, but it was really cold. It was so cold that my lips turned purple. I could only do a little snorkeling because I couldn't stand the cold. A cover-up is a must.
The sea was certainly beautiful, but it wasn't breathtaking. Maybe I had too high expectations...
Lunch included a hamburger, but it was difficult to eat on the boat because of the strong wind... Snacks flew away. I was glad there wasn't a full lunch.
I did see sea turtles and manta rays, which was somewhat enjoyable, but I feel it wasn't worth the price.

5月の午後でしたが、とにかく寒い。唇が紫になるほど寒いです。寒さに耐えられずシュノーケリングは少ししかできませんでした。羽織るもの必須です。
確かに海は綺麗ですが、感激するほどではありませんでした。期待しすぎたのかなぁ…。
ハンバーガーのランチ付きでしたが、船の上は風が強くて食べにくいのなんの…スナックとか吹っ飛びました。ランチはなくてよかったと思います。
ウミガメもマンタも見れてそれなりに楽しかったのですが、値段の価値はない気がします。

It's cold. 寒い

Reviewed by: りちえ

It was drizzling and cold. The sandbar had seawater up to my ankles due to the tides, which was different from what I had imagined. However, the staff were lively and seemed to be having fun playing beach volleyball. The hamburgers grilled by the captain were delicious. The live singing with the guitar was wonderful as well. If only the weather had been better, it would have been perfect. But I was able to see a waterfall that is rarely seen.

小雨が降っていて寒かった
サンドバーも潮の関係で足首まで海水があってイメージとは違ったが
スタッフが盛り上げてくれて楽しそうにビーチバレーをしていた
船長が焼いてくれたハンバガーは美味しかった
ギターでの生歌もステキでした
天気さえ良ければ最高だったと。
でも、めったに見れない滝を見ることが出来ました

Wonderful transparency and a fun lunch cruising!! 素晴らしい透明度と楽しいランチクルージング！！

Reviewed by: Satoru Minegishi

I'm really glad I participated in this cruise! The sea was incredibly beautiful and safe, and the Japanese instructor was fun and lively! With breakfast, a hamburger lunch, and cocktail time, it was a great tour that felt like a good deal the more I participated, especially with my stomach in perfect condition!

本当に参加して良かったクルーズでした！　海は凄く綺麗で安全、日本人のインストラクターの方はノリも良く楽しい！　朝ご飯、ハンバーガーのランチ、そしてカクテルタイム、かなり胃腸が万全な状態で参加すればするほどお得なツアーでしたw

The snorkeling was mediocre. シュノーケルは微妙

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I'm satisfied with the landing at Sandbar, but the snorkeling involves swimming in a line over a short distance, which is quite awkward. It felt like being packed in like sardines. However, I think it's fine for those who are new to snorkeling.

サンドバー上陸までは満足ですが、シュノーケルは短い距離を行列で泳ぐのでかなり微妙です。
いも洗い状態でした。 ただ、シュノーケル始めての人でも大丈夫だと思います。

Molokini and Turtle Town Snorkel Cruise with Food & Open Bar - Pride of Maui

Best experience of Maui!

Reviewed by: Justin Daniels

My wife and I had never gone snorkeling before, and during our honeymoon, we had planned many activities, but this was the one we weren't sure how it would turn out. We decided to do the snuba diving, and our instructor was amazing. He was laid back and helped encourage us when we were first nervous in the water. After a few minutes, everything got easier, and before we knew it, it was time to come up. We were also able to snorkel at Turtle Town, and got to swim by a sea turtle, and that was a super unique experience. Of all the things we did in Hawaii, this is the one thing that I would be sure to do again when we come back.

Beautiful! 綺麗！

Reviewed by: すっち

The sandbar was a very mysterious sight and incredibly beautiful! On the way to the sandbar, I also got to see turtles and manta rays♪ I think it's best to check the low tide times on the reservation screen when deciding on the date to join this tour. After all, the sandbar at low tide is the best!

サンドバーはとても不思議な光景でとても綺麗でした！サンドバーに行く途中で亀とマンタにも会えました♪このツアーに参加する時には、予約する際の画面の中にもある干潮の時間を調べてから参加する日にちを決めた方が良いと思います。やっぱり干潮の時のサンドバーが最高です！

Maui to Lanai Snorkel Cruise with Breakfast & Lunch from Lahaina

Dolphins Snorkel & BBQ

Reviewed by: Kathy Donahue

It was a beautiful day in May 2015. From the start the crew were very helpful, their #1 concern was always their passengers safety. We saw spinner dolphins and bottlenose dolphins on 3 occasions 2 time on the way to Lanai and once going back. They took us to sweetheart cove (I think that was the name) and it was beautiful. The 2nd snorkeling spot was by a broken down pier and we saw a diver holding a octopus - amazing. We also saw plenty of colorful fish and sea turtles. The crew never stopped - the started making lunch as soon as we got on board from the first snorkel and were helping everyone on and off the boat. Very friendly. We would definitely go back. I would recommend this to anyone coming to Maui!

Angel's Sea ★ Sea Turtle 天使の海★ウミガメ

Reviewed by: あやこ

In late May, I participated in a girls' trip. The staff were cheerful, and I was able to enjoy playing beach volleyball with the other participants I met for the first time. The sandbar was very beautiful and soothing, but the sea breeze was cold!! I think it depends on the season, but it was tough to stay in wet clothes, so I think it would be good to have a place to change (there isn't a designated changing area, so I quickly changed in the restroom…).

5月下旬、女子旅で参加しました。
スタッフの皆さんも陽気で初対面の参加者さんたちともビーチバレーで楽しむことができました。
サンドバーはとてもキレイで癒されましたが、
海風が寒い！！
時期によると思うけど濡れたままの服装でいるのツラいので着替えがあるとよいと思います(着替えの場所はありませんのでお手洗いでささっと着替えさせていただきました…)。

Maui to Lanai Snorkel Cruise with Breakfast & Lunch from Lahaina

Maui to Lanai - Dolphin Watch & Snorkel BBQ Lunch Cruise (from Lahaina Harbor) / 2-for-1 Review Rebate Special

Reviewed by: Gloria of SFO,CA

What an awesome experience!!! Was the best because my fear of water had lessened. When me and my friends were talking about this cruise I was speculating because of my fear. But for the sake of friendship we did it. No turning back. Booking was easy. We booked Thursday and luckily there were available slots the next day which was our last day of fun moments in Maui.
At the Lahaina harbor, we were met by a nice and jolly gentleman who helped us at the entrance. Before we got into the ferry, Lily the captain welcomed us and gave us some information and instructions. As soon as we entered the ferry, breakfast was ready. No worries of getting hungry. Then Lily gave us more instructions and reassured everyone that they will help and guide us all the way. The words of assurance from Lily, Robin and Cody made me even more comfortable.
Finally we reached our first stop at Lanai. Everyone was already jumping into the water while me and my friends were just standing at the stairs because this was our first time. And the water was kind of rough and my fear was kicking me. Then came Robin who helped and guided us with the board. Robin did a good job teaching and guiding people in the water. The same thing with Cody. The first time I dipped my head into the water, all I was saying was WOW!!! Underwater is really amazing. I was so full of joy because finally I got to see live corals and fish swimming in their own world. I was so proud of myself. At that time, I told myself I need to get over this fear and need to learn how to swim so I will be able to explore and enjoy the habitat of fish.
This is an experience that will remain in me forever. I surely will do it again and hopefully I will be a good swimmer by then. It's worth doing it.
Thank you Lily, Robin, and Cody for doing a good job. You are all wonderful people.
M A H A L O!!!
