All Reviews for Snorkeling Cruises & Tours

When we arrived at the port, it was slightly rainy and chilly, and I was a bit worried, but after a few minutes on the boat, the blue sky appeared! We were able to see manta rays, which we usually don't get to see, and I thoroughly enjoyed snorkeling until the very end. I was very satisfied!

港に到着した時は若干小雨で肌寒く、大丈夫かなぁと心配したのですが、いざ船に乗って何分かすると青空に！普段は見られないマンタも見ることができ、シュノーケリングは最後まで楽しみ大満足でした！

Our Snuba experience was simply breathtaking, unbelievable and unforgettable. The instructor was very patient and enthusiastic, the water was very clear, and the sea animals were in abundance.

Thank you so much for making our trip to Hawaii so incredibly exciting. I really hope we can come back some day.

Had a great time with the kids! The experience was amazing! Wish the corals were more colorful and fish were more plentiful! The crew were awesome and made the experience memorable!

The sandbar had great weather and was fantastic.
The tide was about 10 centimeters below my knees, so the beach didn't appear, but I was able to practice snorkeling, which was good.
The hamburger for lunch was incredibly delicious!!
They grilled the patty (probably from Costco) on the boat, and it was juicy and tasty.
I saw a decent amount of fish while snorkeling, and they were keeping a proper watch, so I had no concerns about safety.

サンドバーは天気も良く、最高でした。
潮位はちょうどひざ下10センチくらいだったので砂浜が現れることはなかったのですが、シュノーケリングの練習ができたので良かったです。
お昼のハンバーガーが激うま！！
パティ（多分コストコの）を船上で焼いてくれたのですが、ジューシーで美味しかったです。
シュノーケリングではまあまあお魚も見れたし、きちんと監視してくれてるので安全面にも不安はありませんでした。

Best snorkeling and snuba ever!!! Been in this boat three times. Crew is wonderful and so is the lunch!!! Highly recommend.

We enjoyed the kayak and snorkel tour. The guides were very knowledgeable and helpful, etc... The morning tour has an early start, but the bonus of the dolphins was well worth the effort.

The beautiful sea stretched endlessly, and it was so healing ❤️ I was able to see not only sea turtles but also manta rays. Snorkeling with the southern fish was the best! With the crew's accurate advice, I had a wonderful time.

綺麗な海がどこまでも続いていて癒されました❤️
ウミガメはもちろん、マンタにも会えたし
南の魚とのシュノーケリングはサイコーです！
クルーの方の的確なアドバイスのもと、
楽しい時間を過ごせました

This tour has so many highlights. I was impressed when we landed on the sandbar (it was really beautiful!), and I was thrilled to spot a sea turtle popping its head up in a spot filled with them. Snorkeling at the coral reef was also amazing, and above all, the burgers grilled on the boat were the best!

見どころがいっぱいのツアーです。サンドバー（本当にきれい！）に上陸した時も感動したし、ウミガメのたくさんいるスポットで、顔を出したウミガメを発見できて感動。サンゴ礁でのシュノーケリングも最高だったし、何より船の上で焼いてくれるハンバーガーが最高でした。

I used this for my honeymoon and overseas wedding—this is seriously recommended! It's featured in various information magazines, so I thought, "Well, the big companies must be paying for ads, so it probably isn't that great," but I was wrong! The staff is fun, and seeing sea turtles in the ocean is something you only get to do once in a lifetime, so definitely sign up!!! Plus, there are wild rays too. By the way, since there are a lot of women, it might be a good idea to go just with the guys as well ♡
Note: This is not a scam, haha.

新婚旅行・海外ウエディングの際に利用しましたーーー
これはマジでおすすめ！色んな情報誌にのってるから、「どうせ王手が広告料出してるから中身たいしたことないんやろーーーな」と思ってたけどちゃいました！
スタッフもおもろいし、ウミガメを海でみれるなんて人生で１度くらいしかないから是非お申込みを！！！しかも野生のエイもおんねんで。
ちなみに女性の割合多いから男性だけでいくのもアリかもね♡
：注意：サクラではありません笑

I participated with my 3-year-old son and mother. I was a bit anxious about joining since my son was with me, but he was really happy. We encountered a few rain showers, but the weather was generally good, and the sandbar was shallow enough to my knees, with beautiful water.

My son and I didn't participate in snorkeling, but we were happy because they lent us a boat while we waited, so we didn't get bored. We were able to see sea turtles several times, but it was hard for my son to see them, and he said he couldn't see the turtles, which was a bit disappointing.

I would like to participate again when I go to Hawaii.

3歳の息子と母と参加しました。
息子が一緒だったので参加するまでは不安でしたが、かなり喜んでいました。何回かスコールにはあいましたが、それでも天気は良くサンドバーも膝下で海もきれいでした。
私と息子はシュノーケリングに参加しなかったのですが、待っている間ボートを貸してくれたため喜んでおり暇することもなかったです。
ウミガメは何度か見ることができましたが息子には分かりづらくカメ見えないと言っていたのが残念でした。
またハワイに行く際には参加したいと思います。

I fulfilled my long-held dream of swimming with dolphins! Although I was worried that there was no guarantee of seeing them since they are wild animals, I was very satisfied to encounter a pod of dolphins three times on a sunny morning. Unfortunately, I didn't see any turtles, but since dolphins were my main goal and I got to see a stingray instead, I'm really glad I participated!

イルカと泳ぐという昔からの夢が叶いました！
野生の生き物なので、100％会えるわけではないのが心配だったものの、晴天の午前中に３回もイルカの群れに出会えて大満足でした。
残念ながらカメには会えませんでしたが、イルカが一番の目的だったのと、代わりにエイに会えたので、本当に参加してよかったです！

The view was breathtaking. The staff was friendly and very helpful. Highly recommended,

I chose the shorter option since I was with my 70-year-old mother, but we had a great time! We saw plenty of sea turtles, and the sandbar was truly beautiful!!! I highly recommend this tour.

70歳の母と一緒だったので短い時間のほうにしましたが、十分に楽しめました！
海亀も沢山見れてサンドバーは本当に綺麗！！！
オススメのツアーです。

We had a blast! The captain and crew were wonderful and made sure everything was in place for a wonderful time. Everything from the location, weather, snorkeling tips, customer service and drinks contributed to all of us having a super day. We saw 8 to 10 turtles and much more marine life in two hours time. We even saw dolphins jumping high out of the water with Diamond Head in the background. Unfortunately they were so fast, I missed getting their pic. We will definitely take this trip again with this same outfit. Maybe the lunch or dinner trip. Can't wait to repeat!

It was worth checking the low tide times and making a reservation; it was very beautiful. There was a problem at the meeting place, so my rating is average, but other than that, I was very satisfied.

引き潮時間を確認して予約したかいがあり、とても綺麗でした。集合場所でトラブルがあり評価は普通ですが、それ以外は大満足です。

I participated in the Captain Zodiac rafting cruise, and as we started cruising on the rafting boat, we first encountered a large pod of dolphins! Despite it being summer, we were also able to see whales. The luckiest moment was when I saw a manta ray swimming right beneath the rafting boat, which is usually only seen while diving. This is rare, and I was truly lucky, but if you're fortunate, you might get to see a manta ray too.

The snorkeling at Kealakekua Bay, where the main Captain Cook monument is located, allowed us to see beautiful coral on the lava cliffs and many different types of fish. The point was stunning with its high transparency and beautiful emerald green waters! After snorkeling, sandwiches, snacks, and juice were prepared for us, and we enjoyed lunch while looking out at Kealakekua Bay.

Above all, the highlight of this tour was the captain's exciting performance. As he explained the nature of the Big Island while navigating the sea, he was very cheerful, making us feel like we were part of a pirate crew. On the way back, we enjoyed the sight of deer standing on the cliffs, wild birds, and the rock known as the goddess Pele of the Big Island, keeping the fun going until the very end. It was an exhilarating tour that condensed the great nature of the Big Island, and I would love to participate again!

キャプテンゾディアックのラフティングクルーズに参加して、ラフティングボートに乗ってクルージングを開始すると、まずはイルカの大群に遭遇！また、夏の時期にも関わらずクジラを見ることもできました。そして一番ラッキーだったのは、通常ダイビングなどでしか見れないマンタが、ラフティングボートの真下を泳いでいく姿に遭遇したことです。これは稀だそうで、本当にラッキーだったようですが、運が良ければマンタに会えてしまうかもしれません。メインのキャプテン・クックの記念碑のあるケアラケクア湾でのシュノーケリングは、溶岩の岸壁の綺麗なサンゴやたくさんの種類の魚達に会えました。とても透明度が高いエメラルドグリーンが綺麗なポイントでした！シュノーケリングの後はサンドイッチとスナックとジュースが準備されていて、ケアラケクア湾を眺めながらのランチ。そして何よりこのツアーのポイントはキャプテンのエキサイティングな演出です。ビッグアイランドの自然を説明しながら海を進んでいくキャプテンは、とても陽気で海賊船の船員になったような気分で楽しめます。帰りの道のりも岸壁の上に立つ鹿や、野鳥、ビッグアイランドの女神ペレと言われている岩を眺めたりしながら最後の最後まで楽しませてくれました。ビッグアイランドの大自然を凝縮した大興奮のツアー、また参加したいです！

This trip was a great trip that gave us a couple different spots to check out snorkeling in Maui. Boarding the boat was quick and easy and we were out of the harbor in no time. I suggest if you did tent gear or have your own snorkel gear to bring it with you. They are just basic J snorkels with one size fits most masks. The trip to lanai was quick and calm. The reef off of Lanai was pristine and had soo many colors. The wind picked up so we got off the spot looked for dolphin to the south and went to a second spot near Lahaina. This spot was great also near a broken down pier with tons of sea turtles. The bbq lunch of burgers hotdogs and chicken was great as well as the crew who went around to make sure everyone was having a great time. The crew was great for younger children and older patrons alike. There was even a complimentary adult beverage included after lunch. They sell some gear to raise money for local whale research which was a great concept. I would recommend this trip to any family looking to get out snorkeling for the first time. Great way to see the island and the coral reefs.

I participated in the morning course. The instructors are very attentive, so even beginners can feel at ease. I don't have much stamina, so I got tired early on, but thanks to our guide Dan, who helped me and encouraged me multiple times, I was able to stay with the other participants until the end. Hanauma Bay has a lot of fish swimming around, and you can see them up close. I was able to see three sea turtles, which was very moving. Since it had been a while since I swam, I was completely exhausted by the time I returned to the hotel, and I regret not being able to properly thank Dan. I would definitely like to participate again when I go to Hawaii. Thank you, Dan!

午前のコースに参加しました。
丁寧に教えてくれるので、初心者でも安心です。
体力のない私は早い段階で疲れてしまいましたが、
ガイドのダンさんが手を引いてくださったり、
何回も励ましてくださったおかげで、参加者のみなさんと一緒に最後まで参加することができました。
ハナウマ湾は魚がたくさん泳いでいて、間近で見ることができます。
ウミガメは3匹も見ることができ、とても感動しました。
久しぶりに泳いだので、ホテルに帰宅するときには疲れきっており、
ダンさんにちゃんとお礼をすることができなかったのが心残りです。
またハワイに行く時はぜひ参加したいです。
ダンさんありがとうございました。

Despite the children's criticism about the silly name, I trusted the positive reviews and decided to participate! It was a great decision! The kids who were complaining ended up getting completely absorbed in learning to snorkel for the first time, and with the help of the fun staff, they lost track of time chasing dolphins. The one reaching for the turtle is my son! It's a bit pricey, but it's definitely worth it!

名前がふざけてるーとの、子供達の批判に負けず、こちらの口コミで好評だったのを信じ、参加させて頂きました！
大正解でした！
文句を言っていた子供達も、夢中で初シュノーケルを習得し、楽しいスタッフさん達に上手く乗せられ〜時間を忘れて、イルカを追っかけてました。
亀の後ろに手が届きそうなのが息子です！
少し高いですが、絶対、大学の方が良いです！

Very great tour, picked up on time, friendly conversation. This was my first time snorkeling, and Dan, our guide, was terrific. I and my 11 year old are non-swimmer and Dan was very patient and worked to insure we had a great experience. We actually went pretty far out and Dan was besides us and checking on us to make sure we were ok. He was prepared with good equipment, got us through the Haunauma Bay entry easily, and took us on a wonderful swim with loads of fish to see. I would do this snorkeling tour again.

Two years later and I am still thinking about how much fun we had snorkeling and sailing. Some of the best memories we have from our time on the Big Island. We'll be back as soon as possible!

the sandbar was beautiful as well as the views of the mountains from the water. Our boys loved snorkeling and seeing the sea turtles.

This was our first time snorkeling - and it was amazing! Dan was our guide and was absolutely the BEST! A must-do while visiting the Islands.

My family enjoyed this beautiful state
Park.
So beautiful. Peacful

This was my second trip to Hawaii. I wanted to visit the sandbar that I couldn't go to last time, so I made a reservation. The sandbar appeared when the tide went out, and I was able to lie down and relax for a while. Since it was the day before Independence Day, we couldn't drink beer on the beach, but it felt great to enjoy a beer from the back of the boat. We also had a full hour of snorkeling, and it was a great experience to encounter a turtle. Although there was some fatigue from the travel and a bit of waiting time, I think it's an activity I would recommend.

ハワイには二度目の旅行。前回立ち寄れなかったサンドバーに行ってみたいと思い、申し込み。サンドバーは波の引いた時に砂地が顔を出す感じでしたが、寝そべったり、のんびりと時間を過ごせました。独立記念日の前日で祝日対応となり、海でビールを飲めませんでしたが、船尾の突きだしたところからビールが飲めて、それは気持ち良かったです。シュノーケリングも1時間たっぷりあり、カメにも出会えて良い体験になりました。移動や若干の待ち時間などで疲れは出ますが、オススメのアクティビティだと思います。

Departure from the back of the Hyatt Regency. I was first surprised by the large number of people, as the bus was almost full.

Before boarding, there was a restroom break, and we were instructed that we could use either the onboard or the outside facilities. However, it's wise to board early to secure a seat, and there are several opportunities to gather at the front, so sitting towards the front is best.

The sea turtle watching was from the boat, and personally, I got bored quickly, but there were quite a few sea turtles.

The sandbar, depending on the time of year, didn't have sand exposed above the water's surface, but it was a fascinating space. It was difficult to take good photos.

After enjoying the sandbar, we went snorkeling near the nearby reef. With a large group and no fins, it was hard to move around, and since the time was short, I thought it might be nice to skip snorkeling and relax on the sandbar instead (families with children seemed to do that).

Also, from the boat, we could see filming locations like Jurassic Park, which felt like a little bonus.

ハイアットリージェンリーの裏からの出発。大型バスがほぼ満員という人の多さにまずは驚きました。
乗船前にトイレ休憩があり、船内・船外のどちらでも使って良いと指示されますが、早めに乗船して座席を確保するのが吉で、かつ何度か前方に集合する機会があるので、前方がベストです。
ウミガメウォッチングは船上からで個人的にはすぐに飽きてしまいましたが、結構な数のウミガメがいました。
サンドバーは時間帯的に（時季的に？）砂が水面上に出てはいなかったですが、不思議な空間でした。写真を上手く撮るのが難しかったですね。。
シュノーケリングはサンドバーを楽しんだ後に、近くのリーフ横を回ります。大人数ですし、フィンもなかったので動きづらく、さらに時間も短いので、シュノーケリングはパスしてサンドバーの上でゆっくり過ごすのもアリかなと思いました（子供連れの方はそうされていました）。
また、船上から、ジュラシックパーク等の撮影場所もみることができ、少し得した気分です。

It was a good decision to check the tide levels and make a reservation before departure. I thought there would be more sand, but I was able to enjoy it up to my ankles. However, since it's a sandbar program, it would have been nice if they could have swapped it out for turtle watching.

出発前に潮位を確認して予約したので正解でした
もっと砂が出ているかとも思ったけど踝ぐらいでたのしめました
てもサンドバーのプログラムなんだからタートルウォッチと入れ換えてもらってもよかったなー

When I went to Hawaii, I definitely wanted to interact with wild dolphins! So I decided to join this tour.

There’s a reason why the morning gathering is so early.

I was truly moved when a pod of dolphins appeared right in front of me!

The sea turtles were adorable too!

The local staff kept us entertained until we got off the boat, and I was very satisfied!

So, I booked other tours as well.

ハワイに行ったら絶対にイルカ野生のイルカと触れ合いたい！
と思って参加しました。

朝の集合が早朝なのには訳があるのですね〜〜

目の前にイルカの群が現れた時には感動ものでした！

海亀もかわいい！

現地スタッフの皆さんも、船を降りるまで楽しませてくれて
大満足でした！

なので他のツアーも予約しました

Great fun. Boat was great. Staff was great. The excursions were superb. So much fun. Will do it again definitely.

I was a bit concerned about participating with children, but I was grateful for the various accommodations made for us. The dolphins swam from all directions, and it was truly mystical and moving! Since it was a university program, it felt like a class, and the fact that we could graduate at the end was quite interesting!

子供との参加だったので、どうなるかと思いましたが、色々と対応してくださり助かりました。
イルカが本当にあっちから、こっちからとたくさん泳いできてくれて、神秘的で感動しました！
大学というだけあって授業になってて最後は卒業できるというのがなかなか面白かったです♫
