10年ぶりのシュノーケルで少し不安でしたが、手を引っ張ってもらえてとても楽しくて良かったです。イルカに会えました!!目の前でジャンプしたのです!!また参加したいです!!

I had a great time! In beach volleyball, I was able to assist well and forgot my age while mingling with the young people. I also got to see turtles and there were many beautiful fish, which was wonderful.
楽しめました!!ビーチバレーでは、アシストが上手く若者に混じって年を忘れさせてくれました。亀も見れたし、キレイな魚も沢山いてたし、良かったです。

The experience at the sandbar was precious, but I was surprised when a sea turtle came close while I was snorkeling. I also had a great time trying paddle surfing! Next time, I want to participate with my family!
サンドバーでの体験も貴重ですが、シュノーケリングをして、すぐそばまでウミガメが近づいてきてくるのにはびっくりしました。また、パドルサーフィンの体験もさせて頂きとっても楽しかったです!!今度は家族でも参加したいです!!

From the moment we got on the boat we knew this would be a great trip. We only had 9 people on a boat that holds 50!!!I have been on many Snorkeling excursions that are over crowded so this was quite the treat to have so much room. We had a wonderful time on the trip ! The staff was very attentive and helpful and made you feel very comfortable the whole day. We got to see lots of turtles! The food was great and there was plenty of it to go around. The guys were constantly asking if they could get you anything or do anything to make the trip more comfortable for you. Weather was perfect and the water was nice and warm. It does not get much better than this. I would highly recommend this excursion!

I participated on August 6th. Last year, I joined a tour with another company, but unfortunately, I couldn't encounter any dolphins, so this year was a chance for revenge! After reading everyone's reviews, I decided on Aloha Kona Tours. I was worried about whether we could safely go on the tour since a hurricane was approaching, but it turned out to be calm, and the weather was nice, which put me at ease.
Above all, the swim guide Daisuke and Captain Nawata were wonderful people. My daughter, who was scared of snorkeling in deep water, was able to truly enjoy herself thanks to both of them. Following Daisuke and Nawata's instructions, we encountered over 100 dolphins up close! Every time we entered the water, we were able to meet them, and it was incredibly exciting. The blue of the ocean and the cuteness of the dolphins are unforgettable even after returning to Japan! Thank you so much.
We are talking as a family about wanting to join Aloha Kona Tours again next year to meet the dolphins!
8/6に参加しました。昨年他社のツアーに参加しましたが運悪くイルカに出逢う事が出来ず今年こそ!とリベンジでした。皆さんの口コミを見てアロハコナツアーズさんに決めました。ハリケーンが近付いていたので無事にツアーに行けるか心配でしたが、嵐の前の静けさだったのか波も穏やかでお天気も良かったので安心しました。何よりもスイムガイドのダイスケさんとキャプテンの縄田さんのお人柄がとても良くて、足のつかない所でのシュノーケルを怖がっていた娘もお二人のおかげで心より楽しむ事が出来、念願だったイルカちゃん達にもダイスケさん縄田さんの指示通りにするだけで物凄い近さで100頭以上はいたでしょうか?海に入る度に出逢う事が出来て大感激でした。海の蒼さとイルカ達の可愛さが日本に帰国しても忘れられません!本当にありがとうございました。
来年もアロハコナツアーズさんでイルカちゃん達に逢いに参加したいねーと家族で話しています。

We have snorkeled at the circular-shaped shore of Hanauma Bay on the southeast tip of East Honolulu, you can imagine how this beautiful cove was once a volcanic crater. Today, this crater, likely flooded by wave erosion, is home to an important nature preserve and the island's most popular snorkeling destination.
Our snorkeling trip was arranged by Hawaiiactivities.com and they were quite professional people with prompt responses and is very customer oriented. They arranged Mr. Dan to train us snorkeling. Mr. Dan is best instructor you can have in Honolulu as he explained every steps in a legible and understandable way. He has snorkled with us for many hours.
Whether you’re snorkeling a natural or artificial reef, at the beach or along the mangroves, you’ll discover amazing underwater creatures. Look at (but don’t touch) the vibrant yellow and red coral canyons and purple sea fans swaying in the ocean’s current. Coral is actually alive and it’s extremely delicate. Touching coral is detrimental to its health and can also be dangerous. It’s actually related to the jellyfish and can provide a sharp sting, burn, or cut when touched. A good rule of thumb is to stay in water that’s at least six feet deep while snorkeling over coral.
Look for tropical fish including yellowtail snapper, parrotfish, angelfish, blue tang, grouper, and hogfish. We have come across with Turtle who is is not afraid to swim with us. With such a thriving and diverse ecosystem, there’s nearly as much to discover underwater in Hawaii as there is on land!
Dan took pictures with his under water camera. It was lots of fun. Dan brought snacks, drinks, etc. too. On the way back Dan shared lot of information on best shows and tours in Hawaii. We had a great time and will definitely go again if I'm ever in Hawaii.

This was my first time snorkeling and I came from Canada to visit Hawaii. It was a beautiful experience just because we have a great instructor Mr. Dan through Hawaiiactivities.com. We came to know him through this website. Dan started with all basic instruction and shown all steps for snorkeling in detail. He has snorkeled with us and kept my kids together and safe.
It was a magic day of snorkelling in the biggest coral reef on earth. Thousands of colorful fish in the warm water. Thanks a lot to Dan You're part of memories of a life time.
Dan brought all safety devices and snorkeling equipment. He adjusted the equipment to fit very well with each of us. As my kids were not good at swimming, Dan took much patience to train them. He brought mats and drinks to relax before getting into sea.
I saw dozens of very large angelfish, parrotfish (Blue, Queen, and Stoplight), as well as many species of damselfish and butterfly fish, Sergeant Majors, Yellowtail Snapper, and I even saw a Longspine Squirrelfish! It was an absolutely perfect day.
The water was very clear. At one point I was surrounded by hundreds of fishes all swimming calmly in one direction (schooling). All of a sudden they parted (odd, because I had been swimming with them for several minutes without them seeming to notice), and I saw the most awesome and colorful fish I've ever seen in my life swim 5 ft directly under me! I thought about was how every now and then you hear stories about HUGE catfish the size of Buicks at the bottom of deep lakes.
That being said, you can imagine my initial hesitation on the day of my snorkelling experience at I might have started out a little nervous, but I can tell you right now—it ended up being my absolute favorite experience on the trip.

We participated as a couple with our fourth-grade son. There were no explanations in Japanese, but we were able to borrow prescription masks, and there were no particular issues. The snorkeling point had very clear water, and we were able to see various fish, which our child enjoyed thoroughly for the entire time. The food was delicious, the staff were kind, and the boat was clean, which was great. We went to the designated parking area the day before as a preliminary check, but it was unclear where to park. When we asked the staff, they told us to park in front of the Sheraton Hotel. Since others were also parking there, I think it would be good to confirm this in advance. I recommend this tour.
小学校4年生の男の子と夫婦で参加しました。日本語の説明などはありませんでしたが、度付きのマスクも貸してもらえ、特に問題はありませんでした。シュノーケルポイントもとても透明度の高く、色々な魚を見ることができ、時間一杯子供も楽しみました。食事も美味しく、スタッフも親切で船も清潔でよかったです。下見を兼ねて前日に駐車場に指定されている所に行きましたが、どこに停めてよいか、わかりにくく、スタッフに聞くと、シェラトンホテルの前に停めるように言われました。他の人たちもそこに停めていたので、事前に確認されるといいと思います。お薦めのツアーです。

The scenery was beautiful, and the two guides who accompanied us (I was a bit worried at first) were very pleasant, making for a really enjoyable time. The images I uploaded were taken with a wearable camera, and I am very satisfied with them.
It wouldn't be interesting to only write good things, so I should mention that the pickup was a bit late, and the same group (who were foreigners) swam like they were in a race, causing my wife to get hit multiple times and almost drown. My wife and son also got seasick after being away from the shore for nearly an hour.
Additionally, the water clarity wasn't as good as I had hoped, the colors of the fish were rather dull, and the turtle was a bit smaller than I imagined.
However, overall it was fun, so I'm glad I participated.
景色は綺麗でしたし、案内して頂いた二人(最初はちょっと心配でしたが)が、感じの良い方々で、すごく楽しいひと時でした。アップした画像は、ウェアラブルカメラで撮った映像で、大満足です。
良いことばかり書いても面白くないので、ピックアップがちょっと遅かったり、同じグループ(外国人の方です)が水泳の様に泳いで妻に何度も手が当たって溺れそうになったり、1時間近く波打ち際から離れて妻と息子が波に酔ったりといろいろありました。
また、透明度が期待していたほどでなかったり、魚の色が地味だったり、カメが想像よりはちょっと小さかったりとかはありました。
でも、トータルすると楽しかったので、参加して良かったです。

First let me say that this cruise, the crew, and the food and drinks are all amazing, and that you should not hesitate in booking! I was looking for something fun for my husband and I to do for our 3 year anniversary, and I'm glad we picked this. Going through the process of actually ordering the tickets was a bit of a pain. We live here, but the website kept asking about our flights and hotel, so that was a bit annoying. But, we finally got our voucher for the sail and it was confirmed very quickly. The company even called a few times to make sure we were all set. When we got onboard the crew was fantastic and started serving up the drinks and food immediately. Woohoo! The water was absolutely beautiful, and I got to see some marine life that I haven't seen before in my 4 years as a Hawai'i resident. The crew was also very good about making sure we were safe at all times, which made us feel like we were in good hands. All in all, it was a great experience and we would happily pay to go again.

Timely pick-up, great folks, and tasty food. Oh, and did I mention dolphins! I thoroughly enjoyed myself and can say that this is by far the best dolphin snorkel I've been on. I got my gear within 5 minutes of check-in and put in my lunch choice. Dolphin Excursions is an educationally based tour company and some of the people there are marine biologists. They seemed to read the behavior of the dolphins very well. The baby spinner dolphins are super cute! This is a great time of year because the dolphins are having babies so they are fun to watch. We went out about 3 times to snorkel, twice with the dolphins so close. I have never seen so many dolphins with me in the water, and you can even hear them 'singing' before you see them. When we got back, lunch was already made. The food is great at Spinner's Cafe, and the people are courteous. I had a great time and can say that many others did as well.

My boyfriend and I came across this website while vacationing in Oahu. We were looking online for snorkeling tours, but most were out of our budget. When we came across this website we were excited that we had found a good deal. The process was super easy! All we did was input the date we wanted to go and purchased our tickets. When we arrived at the boat harbor we had no problem presenting our online confirmation and getting right on the boat. The crew on the boat were very hospitable and made sure we had a memorable experience. The snorkel spot was breathtaking! Especially vein so close to the endangered green sea turtles. We saw well over a dozen of them and sometimes they came rather close to us. After snorkeling for a little over an hour we hopped back on the boat and the crew served us lunch and drinks (including alcohol). There was no charge for anything on the boat, including the alcohol. We then went for a scenic sail around Diamond Head and relaxed out on the front of the catamaran. This was one of the best days of our vacation! We would highly recommend it to anyone traveling to Oahu and looking for some great snorkeling!

I had learned about the sandbar from magazines and television, and I was really looking forward to visiting it at least once. Initially, I had signed up with a different tour company, but since it was fully booked, I switched to this tour, and it was the right decision. The sandbar, with its white sand emerging from the marine blue sea, was even more beautiful and mystical than I had imagined. It felt very strange to be walking on the water. The sea turtles swimming leisurely were adorable. Above all, the crew made a strong impression. They were friendly, cheerful, energetic, and had wonderful smiles, just like the sun and sea of Hawaii. There was an old man with white hair and a bald head among us guests, and they seemed to feel sorry for him, treating him with care. Thank you, Yukiko. I will come to see you again, so please remember me.
雑誌やテレビでサンドバーを知り、一度は行ってみたいと思っていましたのでとても楽しみにしていました。当初は別のツアー会社に申し込みましたが満員ということでこちらのツアーに変えたのですが、大正解でした。サンドバーはマリンブルーの海の中に白い砂が現れて想像以上に美しく神秘的、海の上を歩いている感じがとても不思議でした。ウミガメはのんびりと泳いでる姿が愛らしかった。なんといっても印象的だったクルーのみんな。フレンドリーで明るくて元気、笑顔がとても素敵な、ハワイの太陽と海のようなクルーたちでした。私たちゲストの中で浮いていた白髪とはげのおじさん、かわいそうに思ったのでしょう、介護してくれるように接してくれました、ゆきこさんありがとう。また会いに行きますので覚えていてくださいね。

We had so much fun on this snorkel sail. Actually the day before the sail was supposed to happen the company called and said there was an issue with the boat and that that particular cruise was not going to be running that day. I had no other day that we could do it as it was a birthday surprise for my friend and our schedules were way too busy after that day to fit it in. They quickly offered to change our reservation for the dolphin snorkel sail that same day with no charge to us. It worked out perfect! The crew was totally awesome and we got to snorkel so close to dolphins. THe entire vibe on the boat was so much fun with jokes from the crew and their service was great. AMazing lunch and breakfast.

On August 9th, my family of three, including my 9-year-old son, participated in the dolphin tour, which was the main highlight of our trip. We were worried that the sea might be difficult due to the hurricane's impact, but we were able to participate safely by shifting our schedule by one day.
Our guide, Daisuke, was easy to talk to from the very first impression, and the ride to the location felt like no time at all! Each of his words was heartfelt, making for a truly enriching experience.
It was a miracle that we were able to set sail that day, and on top of that, we encountered a pod of nearly 150-200 dolphins. I was genuinely moved when I saw the lively wild dolphins up close, including their cheerful calls, parents with babies, and playful youngsters. The view of the deep blue sea and the mountains of the Big Island of Hawaii was also incredibly beautiful.
That same night, my son and I participated in the manta ray tour. He eagerly shared how great it was.
I’m really glad we were able to join this tour after various coincidences! I definitely want to come back to the Big Island and this dolphin tour again. Thank you for the wonderful experience!

Originally, I wanted to join a private charter boat tour, but I couldn't make a reservation, so I participated in this tour instead. However, the boat for this tour was larger, which meant it had a restroom and we could take breaks during snorkeling. Since I was with my children, I ended up thinking it was a good choice. For lunch, I enjoyed a hamburger that was grilled on the boat, customized with my favorite toppings. The burger I made was delicious, and I was very satisfied. The scenery was, of course, amazing, and swimming with sea turtles made it the best tour ever.
本当は、貸し切りのチャーター船ツアーで参加したかったんですが、予約出来ずこちらのツアーで参加させて頂きました。

We signed up as a family of four with our 4-year-old and 7-year-old children. At Angel's Beach, the water was shallow enough for our 4-year-old to enjoy safely. The clarity of the seawater was so remarkable that it showed clearly in our phone photos.
The BBQ hamburgers for lunch were well-seasoned, and even our picky eaters enjoyed them, happily declaring them delicious!
Snorkeling took place in quite deep water, but the kids quickly got used to their life jackets, which they were initially scared of, and ended up having a great time. We were also able to see several sea turtles, which was very satisfying.
Since our guide was Japanese, the explanations were very clear, and they provided thorough information about the ocean, which can be intimidating. This was our first time in Hawaii, and we are glad we signed up for this experience.

It was disappointing that there was no explanation for the pickup being over 20 minutes late. At first, I thought Allen was a bit quiet and brusque, but once we got into the water, he was very kind and truly taught us with the same care and attention that everyone mentioned in their reviews. I was nervous about snorkeling after a long time, but Dan kept saying, "It's okay, it's okay," which made me feel at ease and allowed me to go further out. We were lucky to see three sea turtles, which is really rare! However, since I wouldn't be able to find the turtle spots on my own, I think it's best to go with a guide. I would appreciate it if we could have some free time afterward. When it's a group activity where everyone has to stick together, it's hard to take a break even if you're tired, and I wished I could enjoy snorkeling at my own pace a bit more. But we got so many great photos that we wouldn't have been able to take ourselves, which made for wonderful memories. Thank you very much!
ピックアップが20分以上も遅れたのにその説明がなかったのは残念でした。
アレンさんは初め無口でぶっきらぼうな方だなぁと思っていましたが、海に入ったらとても優しく本当に皆さんのクチコミ通り親切で丁寧に教えて下さいました。

ホヌを3匹も見ることができて、本当にめずらしい!ということでラッキーでした。
ただ、ホヌのスポットはなかなか自分では行けないしわからないのでガイドさんと一緒がいいですが、その後はフリータイムにしてもらえると嬉しいと思います。
全員一緒でないといけない団体行動だと疲れていても休みにくいし、もう少しのんびりと自分のペースでシュノーケルを楽しみたかったなぁと思いました。

I've been on the Heaven's Sea tour before, but if you want to relax, I think this tour is better! My child seemed to really enjoy snorkeling ^o^
For children under kindergarten age, if they are not very comfortable in the water, snorkeling might be scary and difficult. There were some kids crying, and we also cried when we were little.
It seems that snorkeling in areas where they can't touch the bottom feels frightening.

天国の海ツアーにも行ったことがありますが、のんびりしたいのであれば、こちらのツアーの方が良いと思います!

幼稚園以下のお子さんだと、相当水に慣れていないとシュノーケリングは怖くて無理かもしれません。

I participated on 8/11 because I heard that there are fewer people on Mondays than on Sundays. That said, there were still quite a few people... but definitely fewer than at Waikiki Beach.
Upon arrival, we received about 20 minutes of explanation regarding lockers, rental equipment, and lunch, and then we were free to explore. The staff was fluent in Japanese, friendly, and had a great attitude, which made for a pleasant experience.
This time, I went with the purpose of enjoying the ocean, so I didn't go into town. (On a different day, I joined a tour to the North Shore and Kailua, where I did some shopping and had Kimo's pancakes.) If you're considering shopping in town, you might find that there's not enough time.
I thought about renting a bike to go to Lanikai Beach, but it became a bit of a hassle, so I ended up staying at Kailua Beach the whole time. However, I didn't have any trouble filling my time; I took naps on the sandy beach and walked along the coast.
For lunch, I had a meat plate lunch. It was simple, but the meat was tender and delicious!
日曜より月曜のほうが人が少ないという噂だったので、8/11に参加しました。
とはいえ、やはりだいぶ人はいましたが・・・。
ワイキキビーチよりは断然少なかったです。
現地に到着、ロッカーや貸出器具、昼食について20分ほど説明を受け、すぐに自由行動。対応スタッフは日本語がペラペラで愛想もノリも良く、気持ちのいい対応でした。
今回は海を目的に行ったので、街には行きませんでした。
(別日に、ノースショア&カイルアのツアーに参加し、そちらで買い物やキモズのパンケーキを食べました。)
街で買い物も、と考えると、少し時間がたりないかもしれません。
自転車を借りてラニカイビーチまで行こうかとも思ったのですが、ちょっと面倒になり、結局ずっとカイルアビーチにいました、でも砂浜で昼寝をしたり、海岸をずっと歩いて行ってみたり・・・時間を持て余すことは無かったです。
お昼はお肉のプレートランチにしました。
シンプルですが、お肉が柔らかくておいしかった!

I think the overall experience was very good. The sea was beautiful, and it wasn't inconvenient at all even though I couldn't speak English. However, the waiting times were too long, and since it was a vacation, I hope there will be less time spent just waiting around doing nothing. If it weren't for that, I would be very satisfied.
形態的にはとても良かったと思います。海もきれいだったし、英語も話せなくても全然不便ではなかったです。だが、待ち時間が長すぎて、せっかくのバケーションなので、なんにもなくぼーっと待つ時間が少なくなると良いと思います。それがなければ、満足です。

The captain is really good at finding the surface of the sea where the dolphins are! When we spotted them, we jumped in, and after the group swam away, we moved the boat... we repeated this three times. It was truly moving. We even saw baby dolphins and dolphins playing and spinning around.
After that, we moved again to meet the sea turtles, but unfortunately, there were only tropical fish... Still, we enjoyed seeing pufferfish, horse mackerel, and colorful fish. It's nature, so it can't be helped! I'm glad we got to see them at the North Shore beach (laughs).
On the way back, we waited at the port for about an hour for the shuttle bus to arrive, possibly because the road was congested. But thanks to that, all our swimsuits dried, and we were able to take a nap in the shade and have lunch at a nearby cafeteria. I recommend the lunch at the blue building! However, for those who were in a hurry, it must have been a frustrating hour...
Next, I might challenge myself to university!
とにかく船長が、イルカのいる海面を見つけるのが上手い!!
いたら飛び込んで、また群れが去ったらボートで移動して…を3回繰り返しました。
本っっ当に感動します。赤ちゃんイルカや、クルクル回って遊ぶイルカも見れました。
その後はまた移動してウミガメに会いに行ったんですが、残念ながら熱帯魚しかおらず…それでもフグや鯵、カラフルな魚と楽しめましたp(^_^)q
自然相手なので仕方ないですよね☆ノースショアのビーチで見ておいて良かった(笑)
帰りは道が混んでいたのか、送迎バスが到着するまで小一時間港で待ちました。でもそのお陰で全部水着も乾いたし、木陰でお昼寝、近くのカフェテリアでランチまでできちゃいましたp(^_^)qブルーの建物のランチ、お勧めです!
でも、焦っていた人にとっては、じれったい1時間だったでしょう…
つぎは大学にチャレンジしようかな♪(´ε` )
