All Reviews for Snorkeling Cruises & Tours

Due to the weather conditions, it couldn't be helped, but it was very cold, and I was submerged in water up to my knees without being able to see the sandy beach, so I couldn't fully enjoy the angelic sea.

Also, even though I waited from early in the morning for the meeting time, they arrived over 30 minutes late without any particular apology. I understand that traffic can cause delays, but I had even called to confirm, so I was a bit disappointed with the response.

天候の関係もあるので仕方がないのですが、すごく寒くてかつ砂浜見えない膝まで水につかっていて、天使の海を満喫することは出来ませんでした。
また朝早くから集合時間に待っていたのに、３０分以上遅れてこられて特にお詫びもなし。渋滞等で仕方がないと思いますが、こちらは電話までして確認しているのに対応が少し残念でした。

Hubbie and I experienced our 1st Hawaiian snorkel with this amazing team in Oct 2015, trip this Aug August we knew we had to stay with Dolphin Excursions...saw MORE THAN BEFORE! It was a Disney Movie...Finding Nemo in real life! SO GLAD TO HAVE USED DOLPHIN EXCURSIONS!!! No other company can give the same friendly, professional and helpful staff to make sure you WILL experience Spinner Dolphins and become almost a part of the Pod!

The staff were very accommodating, and I was able to see many dolphins swimming right nearby, which was incredibly moving! The staff's enthusiasm was high, and even the children who got seasick were very satisfied! I highly recommend this experience!

スタッフさんの対応もとても良く、沢山のイルカに会えたり、すぐ近くを泳いでくれたり、大感動の連続でした！スタッフさんのテンションも高く、船酔いする子どもたちも大満足でした！めちゃくちゃおすすめです！

We participated in a BBQ lunch plan with my husband and our 9-year-old child. We chose this plan because we started the morning leisurely and spent a long time at the sandbar.

At the sandbar, the shallowest area was about knee-deep for adults, and in the deeper parts, we could just barely touch the bottom. The water was clear, the scenery was beautiful, and our child was thrilled. After practicing snorkeling at the sandbar, we had hamburgers, and the staff entertained us during the meal, making it fun even on the boat. We also got to see sea turtles!

The snorkeling in the coral area was breathtaking with the beautiful corals and fish. Our child, who was told not to damage the corals, was so amazed by the water's clarity that they said, "I'm scared I might kick the coral!" (laughs). We got so caught up in it that we ended up feeling quite cold (laughs). After snorkeling, we enjoyed warm drinks. The sea made us feel chilly, and the wind added to the cold. Also, the bus ride to and from the location was cold, so a bath towel and long sleeves are a must.

子供（9歳）と旦那、私の3人で、BBQランチ付きプランに参加しました。
朝ゆっくりめで、サンドバーにいる時間も長かったので、このプランを選択。

サンドバーは、一番浅いところで大人の膝くらい、深いところでぎりぎり足が着くくらいでしたが、水も綺麗で、景色が素晴らしく子供も大喜びでした。
サンドバーでシュノーケルの練習をしたあと、ハンバーガーを食べましたが、ご飯の時もスタッフさん達がいろいろ楽しませてくれて、船の中でも楽しかったです。
海亀にも会えました♪
珊瑚地帯のシュノーケルでは、珊瑚とお魚達がとても美しく感動しました。
珊瑚は傷つけないように！と教えられた子供は、あまりの海の透明度に｢珊瑚を蹴りそうで怖い((ﾟДﾟll))｣と言うほどでした（笑）。
夢中になりすぎて、身体が冷え冷えに（笑）。シュノーケルの後は温かい飲み物をいただきました。
海で身体が冷え+風で寒く感じます。また、行き帰りのバスが寒いので、バスタオル+長袖必須です。

Avoid the parking nightmare and go as early in the morning as possible for best visibility and fewer crowds.

I chose the plan with snacks.

Although the morning is a bit early, I can return by lunchtime, so even if I get a little tired, I can rest at the hotel and then go out again or spend my time freely.

I checked the tide schedule in advance and chose the best day during my stay to book. I think the water came up to about my knees to my waist. The feeling of standing over the vast sea with land far away was a rare experience that I don't usually get.

The snorkeling was just the right length for beginners, moving straight while glancing at the coral and turning back at a certain point, making it a very simple course.

You don't need to worry about "breathing" like in swimming, but the water is deep enough that you can't touch the bottom (and touching the coral can cause injury), so if you tend to feel anxious about not being able to grab onto something in an emergency, it's better to stay close to the staff. The staff is attentive and will quickly provide flotation devices to help if anything happens.

It was my first time snorkeling, and although it was brief, seeing the fish swimming with my own eyes was another valuable experience.

Lastly, although it's labeled as a sandwich, it's a simple one with ham and cheese between slices of bread, so don't expect something like the large hamburgers you might find locally.

スナック付きプランを選択しました。
朝は少し早いですが、お昼には帰って来れるので、ちょっと疲れてもホテルで休憩して、また外に出たり自由に過ごせます。

潮の満ち引きは一応事前に調べて、滞在期間中で一番良い日を選んで申し込みました。
膝上～腰下くらいまで水が来ていたと思います。
陸が遠くに見え、広い海の上に立っている感覚は普段得られない貴重な体験でした。

シュノーケリングは初めての人にちょうどよい短さで、珊瑚を横目に見ながらまっすぐに進み、ある地点で折り返す、といった至極単純コースになります。

水泳で言うところの、「息継ぎ」はしなくて良いのですが、足が着かないくらい深い（＋珊瑚に触れるとケガする）ので、いざという時どこかにつかまったり出来ないことにすぐ不安を覚える人は、スタッフさんの側に居た方が安心です。
スタッフさんもよく見ているので、何かあったらすぐ浮く道具を寄越して助けてくれます。

シュノーケリングは初めてで、自分の目で魚たちが泳いでいるのを見れるのは、短い間でしたが、これまた貴重な体験でした。

最後に。サンドイッチと書かれていますが、食パンにハムとチーズを挟んだ程度の簡素なものなので、（現地の大きなハンバーガーのようなイメージとか）期待はしないように。

The crew of knowledgable marine biologist/safety made swimming with out a shark cage very do-able! I would absolutely do it again! It was less scary than sky diving!

We had a wonderful time on the morning snorkel /sail with Holo Holo. They are a great company--we've done this trip 3 times before with different operators, and they were great! I strongly suggest that you take Dramamine before sailing, and also take some with you. Several people got sea sick--the crew is amazing and very kind with those who are queasy. None of our family got sick--4 adults and 3 children, but we all took the motion sickness pills before embarking. The food for breakfast and lunch was plentiful and good--the drinks were flowing freely, and the crew was solicitous to every whim! They were really great with watching for safety in every way. The Na Pali Coast was breathtakingly beautiful (and I've seen it 4 times before--it never gets old!) Our captain took us very close, while crew gave us background history and information that was perfect in keeping us entertained. All in all a perfect day in every way! Thanks to Captain and Crew for making our family trip a big hit!!

The sandbar has clear water and no waves, making it enjoyable for couples and families with children. We were advised to snorkel barefoot (probably because flip-flops would come off), and while swimming over the coral, we got a bit cut on our feet due to the crowded area. I recommend wearing marine shoes if possible. Since this is overseas, it's at your own risk. The round-trip bus to the sandbar can be cold, so I suggest bringing a long-sleeved jacket and a bath towel since you'll be returning wet. You can see fish and turtles up close, which is a lot of fun. The female staff were very cheerful and hardworking, making the experience enjoyable. The local staff were also bright and friendly. I think it's a great place for children, adults, individuals, couples, and families to enjoy.

サンドバーは水もきれいで波もなくカップル、子供連れでも楽しめます。
素足でシュノーケリングをするように言われ（ビーチサンダルだと脱げてしまうからだと思います。）サンゴの上を泳いで私たちは前がつまっていてサンゴで足を少し切ってしまいました。
出来たらマリンシューズの着用をお勧めします。
海外なので自己責任です。
サンドバーまでの往復のバスが寒いので長袖の上着、濡れたまま帰るのでバスタオルをお持ちすることをお勧めします。
魚や亀が身近に見られ楽しめます。スタッフの女性がすごく明るく一生懸命なので大変楽しかったです。
現地人スタッフも明るく良しです。
子供から大人、個人、カップル、家族で楽しめると思います。

I was able to enjoy the cruise comfortably because I took motion sickness medication. However, I fell while trying to take a picture at the best spot on the Napali Coast due to the rough waves, and I scraped my right knee. The crew provided proper treatment and wrapped it with a bandage. However, since I couldn't speak English, the crew spent most of the time talking to Western girls and mostly ignored the Japanese guests. I believe it would be a wonderful tour if one could speak English.

酔い止めを飲んでいたら快適に航海できました。しかし激しく揺れてナパリコーストの最高の場所で写真を撮ろうとして転倒し、右手膝に擦り傷を負いました。しかしクルーが適切に処置して包帯で巻いてくれました。しかし英語ができないためクルーは欧米のギャルと始終話しっぱなしで日本人はほとんど無視の状態でした。しかし英語ができるなら素晴らしいツアーになると思います。

The weather was nice and we were fortunate. The scenery was very beautiful, and the food was delicious. I would like to participate again when I go to Hawaii.

天気は良くてめぐまれました。景色はとてもよく、食事もおいしかったです。
また、ハワイに行った際は、参加したいと思ってます

I have some experience with snorkeling in Hawaii, but this time I wanted to try going to the sandbar that often appears on TV, so I made a reservation. Since there were no morning slots available, I opted for the afternoon, but unfortunately, due to high tide, the water was up to my waist at my height. In deeper areas, I couldn't touch the bottom, so I had to wear a life jacket, but the sea was very beautiful, and I was able to see sea turtles quite closely. After that, we moved to a deeper area for snorkeling. Those who didn't want to snorkel stayed on the boat, but it didn't seem like they were bored, as it was interesting to watch. Compared to the tours I've participated in before, snorkeling wasn't the main focus, so I felt a bit unsatisfied, but the staff's explanations were clear, and it was evident that they were attentive to safety. As for food, shortly after boarding the boat, we were served freshly made malasadas, and the barbecue lunch was a buffet with salad, several types of meat, pineapple, rice, and chili beans. The meat and pineapple were especially delicious, and I ate a lot. Overall, the atmosphere was very Hawaiian and lively, and as older participants, we felt a bit out of place, but the guide mentioned that their children were already grown, which made me realize that age doesn't really matter. The boat didn't rock much, so I recommend this for those who want to relax in the sea but also want a bit of activity.

ハワイでシュノーケリングは何回か経験があるのですが、今回はTVによく出ている海の中のサンドバーに行ってみたいと思い、申し込みました。午前中はもう予約が空いてなかったので午後にしたのですが、残念ながら満潮で深さは小さい私の身長では腰のあたりまでありました。深い所では足がつかないので救命胴衣を着けながらでしたが、海はとてもきれいでウミガメもかなり間近で見られました。その後深めの所へ移動してシュノーケリングをしました。しない人は船に残っていましたが、そんなに長い時間ではなく見てるのも面白かったみたいで退屈ではなさそうでした。今まで参加してきたツアーに比べるとシュノーケリングはメインではないので少し物足りなかったですが、スタッフの方々の説明はわかりやすく安全にも配慮していることがうかがわれました。食べ物は船に乗ると間もなく出来立てのマラサダが配られていただけるのと、バーベキューランチはサラダ、お肉が数種類、パイナップル、ごはん、チリビーンズなどのブフェで、お肉とパイナップルが特においしくてたくさん食べました。全体的にハワイらしく盛り上げる雰囲気で年齢の少し行っている私たちはちょっと気おくれしていましたが、ガイドさんもお子さんがもう大きいという話だったので、年齢は関係ないんだなと感心しました。船もあまり揺れないので、のんびり海に入りたいけどちょっとアクティブにもしたい、という方にお勧めです。

On the way to our destination, we encountered a pod of dolphins. They swam together as if leading the boat, and the captain kindly slowed down. We took turns standing at the bow, and the photos turned out great! My daughter was thrilled by the breathtaking views of the Na Pali Coast. On the way back, they stayed out until the sunset, going over the scheduled time as a special treat. The staff was amazing too!

目的地に向かう途中で、イルカの群れに遭遇。
まるで船を先導するように集団で泳いでおり、キャプテンが気を利かせてスローダウン。
交替で船首に立ち、写真もバッチリ！
ナパリコーストの大迫力に、娘も大満足。
帰りは夕日が落ちるまで粘ってくれ、予定時間をオーバーしての大サービス。
スタッフも最高でした！

Rough ride to Lanai island but over all is a great experience, we'll do it again.

I think it would have been amazing... but will not know as we were not able to attend. I need to find a phone number to call to request a refund as I paid a lot of money for 6 of us.

Excellent tour!!!! The staffs were very helpful and kind. Everything just went well, include the cruise, the snorkeling time and the BBQ. We had everything on time and got everything we needed. Kealakelua Bay was such a fantastic place!!!! I would never forget this trip and recommended everyone to Hawaii to come here!

We participated as a family of three, including my fifth-grade son. It was his first time snorkeling, and he was a bit nervous, but the female guide called the day before to confirm and explained how to use the equipment in a way that was easy for children to understand, so we were able to participate with peace of mind. She held my son's hand while swimming the whole time. There was a line to watch the video before entering the ocean, but we didn't have to wait. The trolley that went back and forth on the slope was also convenient.

On the day, I borrowed a wetsuit and swam, which helped with the temperature difference and prevented sunburn. The last time I swam without a guide, I had a terrible sunburn on my back... Unfortunately, we didn't see any turtles, but the guide worked hard to find them, and we saw more types of fish than when I went individually before, so I was satisfied. My son seemed to have a lot of fun and said it felt like he was inside a fish tank! He was happy and said he wanted to participate again. Thank you very much!

The dining information about Hawaii you provided on the way back was also helpful.

小5の息子も一緒の家族3人で参加しました。子供はシュノーケリングが初めてで少し緊張していましたが、ガイドの女性が前日に確認の電話を入れてくれたり、当日子供にもわかりやすい言葉で道具の使い方を説明してくださったので、安心して参加出来ました。子供とずっと手をつないで泳いでくださいました。海に入る前に見る映像で行列が出来ていましたが、私達は並ぶ必要がなかったです。坂を往復するトロリーも楽でした。
当日急遽ウエットスーツを借りて泳いだのですが、おかげで水温の差も日焼けもなくて良かったです。以前ガイドなしで泳いだ時は、背中の日焼けが大変でしたので‥。残念ながら亀は見れなかったのですが、ガイドの女性が一生懸命探してくれましたし、以前個人で行った時より多い種類の魚が見られましたから、満足です。子供はとても楽しかったらしく、水槽の中に入ったみたいだった！また参加したいと喜んでいました。ありがとうございました♫
帰りに教えていただいたハワイの食事情報もためになりました(^^)

The boat was incredibly fast, bouncing around fiercely, and it was a lot of fun! The kids were scared at first, but it seems they gradually started to enjoy it. Thank you!

ボートはすごいスピードで、バウンドも、激しく、楽しかったです！
子供たちも最初は怖かってましたが、だんだん楽しくなってきたみたいです。
ありがとうございます。

Fantastic day out with an amazingly fun and thoughtful crew. Beautiful scenery. Great burgers. Ocean fab. Guitar playing set the scene perfectly. Do yourself a favour and Get out for this great day, safe even if you are not a swimmer.

A must to do staff was very nice, professional and friendly. Will take the family again, I recommend it to anybody who wants to have an adventure. Looking at the tropical fish and turtles.

Thanks to the veteran support, my timid 9-year-old son was able to switch gears and really enjoy himself, saying he wants to do it again tomorrow, completely forgetting about us parents! Including the journey there and back, the hospitality was overflowing, and we had a wonderful time!

怖がりの息子（9才）もベテランサポートのお陰で、途中からスイッチが入り、親そっちのけでまた明日もやりたい！というほど楽しめたようです。行き帰り含め、Hospitalityあふれるご対応で、とても気持ちよく楽しめました！

I wanted to swim in a beautiful sea, so I used this service. I made a reservation the day before, and it was fine! I rented a bike in Kailua Town for $10 and although I couldn't take my time, I was able to do some shopping! The lockers available in the office were safe and secure, so I could leave my valuables without worry!

For lunch, I had a barbecue pizza. The spinach and garlic pizza was really delicious! The beach was so beautiful, and I was glad I came! However, there were no fish or turtles at all! It was truly beautiful and felt like paradise. I'm really glad I went!

きれいな海で泳ぎたい！と思い、こちらを利用しました。前日に予約しましたが大丈夫でした！
カイルアタウンには自転車を10ドルで借りて行き、ゆっくりはできませんでしたがお買い物できました！ロッカーも事務所内にあるものを貸していただけるので安全で安心でした！貴重品も安心して置いていけます！
お昼ご飯はピザのバーベキューランチを食べました。ほうれん草とガーリックのピザがすごく美味しかったです！
ビーチはとってもきれいで来てよかったー！と思いました。ただ魚や亀は全くいませんでした！
本当にきれいで天国みたいでした。行ってよかったです！

We thoroughly enjoyed our time on the boat and in the water with the fish and turtles! The crew was fun and energetic yet very professional and we felt royally treated! We would highly recommend this excursion!

I had a blast! Usually go snorkeling on vacation. This is the 2nd time I've gone on a kayaking and snorkeling adventure. Was a little winded so the snorkeling activity was just OK. As for for the kayaking adventure... I loved it! Waters were a bit rough but manageable. As for the two tour guides Natalie and Zoey, I can't say enough about their friendliness, expertise and all around knowledge of the adventure and the history of the surrounding island

We participated in a tour with a Japanese guide for our family trip, which included eight girls aged 5 to 80, as we had parents with mobility issues. There was only one other couple who were Japanese; the rest were foreigners.

Our guide, Miho, was very attentive and cheerful. She engaged in conversation with my parents on the boat and helped my mother, who was afraid of the sea, at a slow pace suitable for the elderly. It was a great help. The children were more focused on jumping off the boat and the slide rather than snorkeling. Onboard, we also enjoyed unlimited Hawaiian beer, sampling three different types, so there were plenty of ways to have fun besides the sea. Miho's stories were enjoyable, so I highly recommend this experience.

下は5歳から上は80歳までの女子ばっかりの8人家族旅行。足の不自由な両親がいたので 日本語ガイド付きのツアーに参加しました。日本人は私たち以外にはご夫婦が1組いただけ。後は外国の方ばかり。
ガイドのミホさんは とても 気の利く 明るい方で 船内では 両親の話し相手になってくれたり 海を怖がる母を 手取り足取りゆっくり年寄りのペースで補助してくれたりと とても 助かりました。 子供たちは シュノーケリングより 船上からの飛び込みやスライダーに夢中。船内では ハワイのビールも飲み放題！ 3種類を飲み比べたりと 海以外の楽しみ方も あります。ミホさんのお話も楽しいのでぜひオススメです。

I visited "Angel's Beach" on my first trip to Hawaii. It's a spot that has become quite popular on the internet and television, and it really is beautiful! Although my stay was short, I was able to enjoy it thoroughly. It's definitely worth a visit, so I recommend it!

初ハワイで「天使の海」に行ってきました、ネットやテレビで結構人気となったスポットですが、本当にきれいです！滞在時間が少なかったのですが、満喫できました。一度行く価値があるので、おすすめします！

Since I have a small child with me, I couldn't spend the whole day at the sandbar and go snorkeling, so I chose a half-day course. I thought the stay time might be a bit short, but it turned out to be just right with my 1 year and 8-month-old child. By the way, perhaps due to the tide conditions, the water was up to my waist even in shallow areas, making it difficult to keep the camera dry. With this situation, I had to carry my child the whole time.

小さな子が一緒なので、１日かけてサンドバーにいてシュノーケリングもするなんてことができないので、半日で帰れるコースにしました。滞在時間が少なめかなと思っていたが、１歳８ヶ月の子と一緒なのでちょうど良かった感じです。ちなみに、潮目が悪かったのか、浅いところでも腰まで水が来ていて、カメラを濡らさないようにするのが大変でした。これでは、子どもはだっこしっ放しです。

Thank you for an enjoyable and memorable experience!!

I signed up for the helicopter tour because I wanted to take in the expansive views of the Big Island and see the flowing lava.

During my visit, the lava was at a lower flow rate, so I couldn't see much of it flowing, but I was able to witness the red masses burning through the trees.

Additionally, I could view areas that are difficult to reach by car, such as Hilo and the northern mountainous regions and waterfalls, from the air.

Although it is expensive, it was a satisfying sightseeing flight.

ハワイ島は広いので、空からぐるっと眺めたいのと、流れている溶岩が見たくて申し込みました。

溶岩は丁度少な目の時期でしたので、そこまで流れている感じは見ることができませんでしたが
赤い塊が木々を燃やしている様子は見ることができました。

また、ヒロ方面や北部の山岳地帯・滝など
車では行きにくい方も空から眺めることができました。

高額ではありますが、満足できる遊覧飛行でした。

The snorkeling at the stunning Molokini Island was amazing. I enjoyed swimming with lots of fish and fully experienced Maui. The Japanese guide was kind and attentive to many details. The food was delicious too.

絶景のモルキニ島のシュノーケルは最高でした。たくさんのお魚と泳げてマウイ島を満喫しました。日本語のガイドさんは親切でいろいろと細かいところまで気を使ってくれました。ごはんも美味しかったですよ。
