I attended this activities with my friend and it was one of my best memories in hawaii trip! I could see the beautiful sandbar, tropical fish and coral even if the weather was not so good. And especially the crews was just awsome! They are really cheerful, caring and enjoyed the time with us!

I participated with my 8-year-old daughter and another person.
On the bus ride, we saw beautiful nature that you can't see in Waikiki.
The time on the boat was short, so I didn't get seasick.
We were able to see sea turtles coming close to us multiple times, which was amazing.
I thought snorkeling would just be splashing around in shallow water, but we got to see much deeper parts of the ocean than I imagined, with lots of coral and tropical fish. My daughter, who was experiencing this for the first time, was initially nervous but was very moved.
I recommend bringing a waterproof digital camera if you join the tour.
The staff were kind, and they took this photo for us.
The content of the tour was excellent, providing satisfaction beyond the price.
I added several options this time, and this was the best.
8歳の娘と3人で参加しました。
バスの送迎途中にはワイキキでは見れない大自然を見れます。
船に乗る時間も短いので船酔いもしませんでした。
ウミガメは寄ってくる感じで何回も見られるので最高でした。
シュノーケリングは浅瀬をパシャパシャすると思っていたら、想像以上に海底が深い所を見れて、サンゴと熱帯魚が沢山で初めての娘も最初はドキドキでしたが、とても感動していました。
ツアーに参加するなら防水デジカメを持っていくことをオススメします。
スタッフの方も親切でこの写真も撮って頂きました。
ツアーの内容がとても良くて、価格以上の
満足感があります。
今回複数のオプションを付けましたが、これが最高でした。

The color of the sea was very beautiful to look at.
The transparency of the sea was a bit disappointing.
The pancakes at Kimo's were indeed delicious.

We headed to the meeting place from the hotel by rental car. Since the Big Island of Hawaii has straightforward roads, I don't think driving is difficult, but there are very few signs, so it's best to check the location thoroughly before participating. Alternatively, I recommend asking for details at the hotel's Japanese desk!
For the activity, we traveled to the snorkeling point on a tube boat, as shown in the pictures. Just the ride on the tube boat was thrilling and enjoyable!
At the snorkeling point, we saw many fish and a sea urchin that was larger than anything I've ever seen! Also, while diving, I could hear the sound of fish pecking at the coral!
Regarding the cave exploration, I think you'll have a general understanding since you'll receive guidance in Japanese beforehand.
For meals, we had handmade sandwiches, cookies, potato chips, juice, water, and fresh pineapple and oranges cut by the captain on the spot.
I think bringing a towel, a camera, and sunscreen would be sufficient.
As mentioned in the precautions, there are no restrooms on the tube boat. Please be aware that you won't be able to go to the restroom for the four hours during the activity!
ホテルから集合場所までは、レンタカーで向かいました。
ハワイ島は一本道なので運転は難しくないと思いますが、看板は非常に少ないので、参加前に場所の確認はしっかりとしらべた方が良いと思います。もしくはホテルの日本語デスクのようなところで、詳しく聞く事をオススメします!
アクティビティは、写真にあるようなチューブボートでシュノーケルポイントまで向かいます。
チューブボートの移動だけでもスリル満点で楽しめました\(^o^)/
シュノーケルポイントではたくさんのお魚、みたこともない位大きなウニが見れます!
また、潜っているとお魚がサンゴを突つく音なんかも聞こえましたよ!
洞窟探検については、事前に日本語の案内がもらえるのでなんとなく分かるかと思います。
お食事は手作りサンドウィッチ、クッキー、ポテトチップス、ジュース、お水、船長さんがその場で切るパイナップルとオレンジでした。
持ち物はタオルとカメラ、日焼け止めがあれば十分かと思います。
注意事項にもあるかと思いますが、チューブボートのためトイレがありません。アクティビティ中の4時間はトイレに行けませんのでご注意下さい!

The weather unexpectedly turned to rain. It wasn't constant, and there were moments of sunshine peeking through the heavy clouds, so it was a rain I could accept. I couldn't help but feel a bit regretful, thinking how much more beautiful it would have been if it had been sunny.
We had plenty of time for snorkeling around the turtle spot and at the sandbar, so I enjoyed it thoroughly. The highlight was definitely the delicious hamburger for lunch. It was amazing.
I felt like the wait for the bus back was unnecessarily long, but my swimsuit dried completely. The bus had air conditioning, so a cover-up is a must.
天気はまさかの雨。ずっとではなく、重い雲の隙間から時々晴れ間が出たので、ま、仕方ないと諦められる雨でした。
晴れてたらもっときれいにみられたんだろうなーと悔しさが残りました。
サンドバーも、ウミガメスポット周辺でのシュノーケリングの時間もたっぷり取れたので、十分楽しめました。
なんといってもランチのハンバーガーの美味しかったこと。サイコーでした。
帰りのバスを待つ時間がなんだか無駄に長いような気がしましたが、すっかり水着も乾きました。バスはクーラー効いてるので、羽織ものは絶対です。

It’s about a one-hour boat trip to Kealakekua Bay. For breakfast, we had bagels, papaya, melon, and coffee. Once we arrived at Kealakekua Bay, we started our first snorkeling session. For lunch, we enjoyed burgers, hot dogs, fruits, and drinks like cola and coffee, followed by our second snorkeling session. The joy of chasing fish in the clear, calm bay is exceptional. There were about 40 participants, but only three groups of Japanese, including us, totaling seven people, while most were Westerners. We borrowed floatation devices to swim, and even if you’re confident in your swimming, having a floatation device makes it easier. I thought I had applied enough sunscreen, but my shoulders got sunburned. Sunscreen is definitely necessary. It was a tour I would like to join again.
ケアラケクア湾まで約1時間の船旅です。朝食はベーグルとパパイア、メロンとコーヒー。
ケアラケクア湾へ着くと1回目のシュノーケル開始、昼食はバーガー、ホットドッグ、果物にコーラやコーヒーなどを食べ、2回目のシュノーケルを行いました。澄み切った穏やかな湾で魚たちを追う楽しさは格別です。40名程の参加者がいましたが、日本人は私たちを含め3組、7名だけで大半が欧米人でした。腰に巻く浮具を借り泳ぎましたが、泳ぎに自信があっても浮具はあった方が楽です。日焼け止めを十分に塗ったつもりでしたが、肩口は赤くなりました。日焼け止めは絶対に必要です。

However, the air conditioning on the bus during the round trip was too cold. The kids were almost freezing. (This happens a lot in Hawaii. Can't something be done about it?)

I booked the west side snorkel safari online and was initially booked into the wrong time slot due to a glitch in the system. This wasn't a big deal. They were very helpful in sorting this out and assured me that they were working on fixing the glitch. The morning of the tour however, I took a taxi out to the meeting point only to be told that the trip was canceled due to high winds (it seemed calm to me, but I'm not an experienced ocean kayaker) $55 later I was back where I started. To be fair, they did try to phone me, but I did not have my phone turned on because I was trying to avoid roaming charges. I do not feel that one attempted phone call is sufficient customer service. I would have appreciated an email (this is how I had been communicating with the company from the beginning). I would suggest that anyone booking a similar tour contact the office before you leave in the morning to confirm that it will proceed as scheduled.

Every year I go to Hawaii, but this was my first time sailing off Waikiki. There were about 10 participants that day, and we were the only Japanese. The ride was comfortable without any nausea-inducing swaying. The view of Waikiki from the sea was exceptional. There were quite a few turtles at the snorkeling point, which was enjoyable. However, there were no life jackets, just a floating noodle. They provide snorkeling gear for free, so if you're anxious, it's better to bring your own. The other catamaran tour I considered had life jackets (I noticed since they were at the same point). Drinks and snacks are available for purchase, so I recommend bringing your own water. The staff only spoke English but were friendly and kind. Since it departs from Waikiki Beach, it's easy to join, so I recommend it.
毎年ハワイに行っていながら、初のワイキキ沖セーリング。当日の参加者は10人ほどで日本人は私たちだけ。酔うような揺れもなく快適。沖から見るワイキキの眺めは格別でした。シュノーケルポイントにはカメさんも結構いて楽しめます。ただ・・・ライフジャケット等はなく、英語で「ヌードル」という浮く棒のみ。シュノーケルは無料で貸してくれます。なので、不安な方は持参した方がよいかと。迷ったもう1つのカタマランツアーにはライフジャケットがありました(同じポイントでやっていたのでわかりました)。飲み物、スナックは有料なのでお水等持参がおすすめ。スタッフは英語のみですが感じよく親切。ワイキキビーチ発なので気軽に参加できるのでおすすめです。

I was supposed to go with my cousin, but she couldn't make it on the day, so I participated alone. I felt a bit lonely going by myself, but the guides and staff were very warm and accommodating, so I was able to enjoy it fully even on my own. I'm really grateful for that.
The tour content was also fulfilling. The malasadas and BBQ lunch we had on the boat were very delicious. I got to see sea turtles multiple times, which made for great memories.
However, it seemed that the timing of our visit coincided with high tide, so instead of a sand walk, we ended up doing sand swimming, which was a bit disappointing. The water level was just about at the point where my toes could barely touch the bottom. I thought I would check the tide times before participating next time.
But even with the high tide, it was truly a valuable experience.
I highly recommend this tour to anyone going to Hawaii.

As someone who loves the ocean, I find that I don't have enough time to enjoy both the beach and the town together, so I make it a point to separate my days into beach days and town days.
At the beach, I can fully enjoy myself with items like mats and snorkeling sets provided. Additionally, since tour buses cannot access Lanikai, I recommend renting a bike. For just an extra $10 on this tour, you can rent a bike right there. In the morning, I had a pleasant ride to Lanikai and enjoyed snorkeling at the beach!
It seemed like it was one of those rare days with great weather, and I was able to see the ocean's colors more beautiful than ever before. The waves were almost nonexistent, and I had so much fun that I didn't want to leave the water.
In the afternoon, we returned to Kailua for lunch. You can choose between a plate lunch or pizza. We opted for the plate lunch. It was a bit disappointing that we couldn't choose from a variety of options since it was a set meal. The taste was just okay—nothing to get too excited about, although I wasn't expecting much. Considering the time it takes to think about and go buy something, it was at least passable.
In the afternoon, I relaxed and enjoyed the ocean again in Kailua until it was time to leave. I will definitely use this service again when I want to enjoy the beach. I prefer the shuttle service because I can just relax and sleep, rather than using The Bus. I think it would be nice if lunch wasn't a set meal and offered more choices.
海が大好きな私は、ビーチとタウンを一緒に楽しむには時間的に足りないので、毎回、ビーチの日、タウンの日と、分けて楽しむようにしいています。
ビーチで遊ぶには、ゴザやシュノーケルセットなどがついているので、存分に遊ぶことができます。また、ラニカイには、現在ツアーバスは入れないので、自転車がお勧めです。このツアーでも、$10プラスするだけで、その場で自転車を貸してもらえます。午前はラニカイまで心地よくツーリング&ビーチでシュノーケルを堪能!
この日は、年に数えるほどの良いお天気だったようで、これまで以上に美しい海の色を見ることができました。
波もほとんどなく、海から出ることができないくらい楽しみました。
午後は、ランチをいただきにカイルアへ戻りました。ランチは、プレートランチか、ピザ、どちらかを選べます。私たちはプレートランチにしました。セットになっているため、いろいろ選べないのが残念でした。お味も、こんなものか~。(期待はしてはいませんでしたが。。。)考えたり、買いに行く時間を考えると、ましかな?のレベルです。
午後は、カイルアで、のんびりとまた海に浸かり、時間まで楽しみました。
また、ビーチを楽しみたいときには利用します。
送迎付きは、寝ててもOKなので、ザ・バスを利用するよりも、私はすきです。

On the day of our participation, we were blessed with clear skies, and both snorkeling and snuba at Molokini Island had excellent visibility. I highly recommend snuba, especially for those who have no issues with equalizing while diving.
However, regarding the next point for sea turtle observation, it can be canceled if visibility is insufficient due to weather conditions up to the day before (as mentioned in the description). Unfortunately, we had to miss that part, and we ended up snorkeling at almost the same spot as before.
There were two other groups of Japanese guests besides us, but as expected, we didn't interact much with them. Instead, we became quite friendly with the foreign guests, who were very approachable.
In summary, it was a very enjoyable experience, and above all, the cheeseburger for lunch was exquisite.
夫婦で参加しました。
日本語スタッフのみほさんのケアもあって、日本語のほぼ使えないマウイでも当日困るようなことはまったくないでしょう。
基本みほさん以外のスタッフさんは英語オンリーですが、非常に気さくで、こちらを気遣ってくれますし(仕事なので当然かもしれませんが)こちらを楽しませようと努力してくれているのはかなりの好感が持てます。
参加当日は晴天に恵まれ、モロキニ島でのシュノーケル、スヌーバ共に最高の透明度でした。
とくにスヌーバは潜水時の耳抜きが問題ない方には是非にもとおススメするくらいです。
ただ、モロキニ島の次のポイント(海亀観察ができるらしい)については、前日までの天候次第で透明度が足りなかったりすると中止です。(説明文にもある)
私たちもそちらは残念ながら中止になってしまい、最初とほぼ同じポイントでのシュノーケルタイムになりました。
私たち以外の日本人客はほかに2組ありましたが、当然といえば当然か、そのかたがたとはあまり絡みませんでした。むしろ外国人の方々が非常に気さくで、そちらと仲良くなったくらいです。
総括としては、非常に楽しい思い出になりましたし、なによりお昼のチーズバーガーは絶品です。

It was my first snorkeling experience in a while. I encountered a turtle! When I swam at Papohaku Beach on the Big Island, I also swam all the way to the waves, and this was the second time during this trip. What a memorable journey it has been! Right now, I'm reminiscing while listening to Hawaiian music. I will definitely go again.
久々のシュノーケリングでした。
なんと亀さんに遭遇です。
ハワイ島のパプナビーチで泳いだときも波打ち側まで泳いでまして、今回がこの旅の最中で2回目でした。
なんと記念に残る思い出の旅だったことか。
今、ハワイアン聞きながら思いでに浸ってます。
また、いきますね。

I was able to enjoy the sea.
Even after the meeting time had passed by 20 minutes, the other participants were also feeling anxious. The bus driver only spoke English, so the apology was in English. I could understand it somehow, but I think others might not have been satisfied…
The sandbar is shallow, but the sea is beautiful. While snorkeling, I encountered a sea turtle up close! It was moving! After snorkeling, the staff kindly provided warm drinks and helped wash off the salt from our bodies, which was great! I would like to participate again.
海を堪能出来ました
集合時間20分過ぎても来なくて、私たち以外の参加者の人たちも不安がってました。バスの叔父さんは英語しか話せないのでお詫びも英語。自分は何とか聞けたけど他の方々はちょっと納得出来ないかな……と。
サンドバーは浅瀬ですが海は綺麗です。
シュノーケルは自分は潜ってたら間近にウミガメがいました!感動しました!
シュノーケルの後スタッフの方々の親切な気遣いで身体が温まる飲み物提供や身体についてる塩を流してくれたりでよかった!また参加したいです

I participated with two friends. It was my first time in Hawaii, and I only booked the flight and hotel, so I was looking for optional tours and found this one. They picked us up by car at the hotel and contacted us the day before for the pickup. Since it was just the two of us that day, they moved the tour time to the morning. Our guide was Japanese, which made it easy to talk, and I was able to hear a lot of interesting information. When we arrived at the location, we received an explanation and entered the beach. We were able to put our valuables in a box that the guide brought and lock it up, which made me feel secure. We received our snorkeling sets and headed into the ocean. They taught us how to swim and enter the water first. It was my second time snorkeling, while it was my friend's first time, so I appreciated the thorough explanation. I wasn't very good at swimming, but they adjusted the pace to match my ability, which made me feel at ease. We moved through the beautiful sea while looking for fish, and time flew by. Unfortunately, we didn't see any turtles, but I was satisfied because we saw various fish. I think it's recommended for those who are not used to snorkeling or are visiting Hanauma Bay for the first time (^_^).
友達2人と参加しました。ハワイは初めてで航空券とホテルのみとっていただけだったので、オプションツアーを探していて見つけました。ホテルまで車で迎えにきて頂き、前日にピックアップの連絡もホテルにくださいました。その日は私たち2人のみということで、ツアーの時間を前倒しして午前にしてもらえました。日本人のガイドさんだったので、話しやすく、いろいろとお話が聞けました。現地に着くと説明を受けてビーチに入りました。貴重品はガイドさんが持ってきているボックスの中に入れて、カギをかけてもらえたので安心でした。シュノーケルのセットを受取りいざ海へ。最初に泳ぎ方、入り方などを教えてもらいました。私は2回目、友達は初めてのシュノーケリングだったので、丁寧な説明がありがたかったです。私は泳ぎが苦手だったのですが、泳ぎの程度に合わせて進んでくださるので安心でした。キレイな海をお魚を探しながら進んでくのであっという間に時間がすぎました。残念ながらカメには会えませんでしたが、いろんなお魚たちが見れたので満足でした。シュノーケリングに慣れて無い方、ハナウマ湾初めての方にはオススメだと思います(^_^)

It was a beautiful day with great weather, and the color of the sea and the scenery were wonderful. I was happy to see sea turtles in various spots. However, the sandbar was a bit disappointing because the water level was above my waist due to the high tide. The snorkeling was fantastic, as I got to see many different fish and corals, so I was very satisfied! The staff were incredibly kind, and my nearly 80-year-old mother, who was initially scared, also enjoyed herself. Next time, I would like to participate during low tide. Thank you!
とても良いお天気で、海の色も景色も素晴らしい日でした。海ガメのスポットでは、あちこちで姿を見ることが出来て良かったです。
ただサンドバーは、満ち潮だったので腰以上の水位で、ちょっと残念!シュノーケリングは、色々な魚達も珊瑚もたくさん見れたので大満足でした!スタッフの方達がすごく親切で、始め怖がっていた80近い母も楽しんでいました。次回は、引き潮時を狙って参加したいと思います。ありがとうございました!

I thought it would change a lot depending on the weather. However, since we definitely can't go on our own, I think it's a good idea to use tours like this. Everyone was very kind, so I would like to use it again.
お天気次第でとても変わってくると思いました。でも、自分たちでは絶対に行けないので、こうしたツアーを利用するのはいいと思います。皆さん親切にしていただいたので、また利用したいです。

Aloha! Thank you for joining the Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour! The photos of the sea turtles are truly impressive! I'm so glad your daughter was able to enjoy snorkeling as well! I hope you were able to fully enjoy the great outdoors in Kaneohe Bay, surrounded by the Ko'olau Mountains. We, along with the staff, look forward to welcoming you back again!
