All Reviews for Snorkeling Cruises & Tours

We participated as a family of three. Unfortunately, there weren't many fish, but the water clarity was quite nice and refreshing. The children were also satisfied. I would like to thank the Japanese assistant who helped us when my daughter got seasick. We had various conversations, and I wanted to hear more about Hawaii. Thank you very much.

家族3人で参加しました。生憎、魚影は濃くなかったものの、透明度はなかなかで気持ちよかったです。子供たちも満足しておりました。日本人のアシスタントの方には、娘が酔ってしまいお世話になりました。色々話も伺い、もっとハワイの話を聞きたかったです。ありがとうございました。

I was nervous during my first snorkeling experience, but I was able to see dolphins perfectly! I encountered a pod of dolphins multiple times, and I was truly moved when a baby dolphin jumped. When I entered the water, I could see many dolphins swimming below me. They came so close that I felt like I could almost touch them (though you're not supposed to). However, keeping up with the guide was quite a challenge (laughs). It requires quite a bit of stamina. After the dolphins, we enjoyed touch-up paddling, kayaking, and snorkeling around the rocks. The snacks and cheeseburgers we had when we got hungry were delicious! On the way back, we all danced the hula happily before disembarking! The half-day was so much fun that I didn't feel any seasickness at all. I fell asleep on the bus ride back, and we were dropped off in front of the hotel in the early afternoon, leaving plenty of time for sightseeing. I definitely want to participate again when I go to Hawaii! By the way, I purchased some photos. They are a bit pricey, but they make for wonderful memories, so I think it's a good idea to actively engage with the photographer!

初めてのシュノーケリングで緊張しましたが、ばっちりイルカに会うことができました！
イルカの群れには何度も会うことが出来、赤ちゃんイルカがジャンプした時は本当に感動しました♡
海に入ったら自分の下をたくさんイルカが泳ぐ姿が見えます。
本当に近いところまで行けて、あと少しで触れるんじゃないかと思うほど(触ってはいけませんが)
ですがガイドさんについて行くのはなかなか必死でした(笑)
結構体力が必要です。
イルカの後はタッチアップパドルやカヤック、岩場でシュノーケリングも楽しめます(*^o^*)
お腹が空いた頃に頂けるスナックやチーズバーガーも美味しかったです★
帰りは楽しくフラをみんなで踊って下船しました！
半日楽しすぎて全く船酔いする気配はありませんでした。
帰りのバスは爆睡、お昼過ぎにホテル前で降ろされて、まだ十分観光ができました♡
またハワイに行ったら絶対参加したいと思います！
ちなみに写真を購入しました。
ちょっと高いですが、とっても良い思い出になりますのでぜひ積極的にカメラマンにアピールされるといいと思います！

Thank you, Chieko and Dan!
It was a reassuring tour with guidance in Japanese.

We had a fun snorkeling experience with a British family, an Indian family, a Japanese family, and our couple.

Unfortunately, on that day, due to low tide, the turtles couldn't come into the bay, so we didn't get to see any sea turtles.

To be honest, my expectation was a bit too high, and I felt like saying, "Hmm, is this it...?"
As for the fish... well, I could see them, but just barely.

However, I am very satisfied to say, "I went snorkeling at Hanauma Bay in Hawaii!" (laughs)

This is something that depends on the tides and conditions.

It had quite an international atmosphere, but I enjoyed the tour with solid guidance in Japanese.

I was fine, but he seemed to experience symptoms like motion sickness while snorkeling. Also, although the weather was great, the water temperature felt unexpectedly low, and it was quite cold.
I recommend that those going take precautions.

Next time, I definitely want to join your diving tour.

I'll be going to Hawaii again!

チエコさん、ダンさん、お世話になりました！
日本語で案内していただけて、安心なツアーでした。

イギリス人親子、インド系ご家族、日本人ご家族、私達カップルのツアーで、楽しくシュノーケリングしました。

この日はあいにく引潮でカメさんが湾に入って来れず、海亀さんには会えませんでした。

期待が大き過ぎた分、「うーん、こんなものか〜…。。。」というのが正直な感想。
お魚も…あ〜見えた見えた、くらいかな？

でも「私、Hawaiiのハナウマ湾でシュノーケリングをしたよ！」ということで大満足です（笑）

こればっかりは潮の満ち引きやら条件がありますものね。

なかなかインターナショナルな雰囲気で、でもしっかり日本語で案内していただき、楽しかったです。

私は平気だったのですが、彼がシュノーケリングで乗り物酔いのような症状になったようです。
あと、すごくお天気は良かったのですが、思いの外水温が低く感じられて、すごく寒かったです。
行かれる方は対策をしていく事をお勧めします。

今度はご夫妻のダイビングツアーに是非参加したいです。

またHawaii行きますね〜！

I loved it! The crew was so awesome and friendly. The snorkling was beautiful and tranquilizing. All in all it was a PERFECT day.

The snorkeling and hamburgers were amazing. The guide, who was Japanese, was very kind and attentive, making it a fun experience. I highly recommend it.

シュノーケルとハンバーガー最高でした。ガイドさんが日本人の方もいてですごく親切で細やかな気配りをしていただき、楽しかったです。おすすめします。

My family and I had a great time snorkeling. We spent plenty of time in the water at 2 different locations and seen a verity of fish. In the morning we were served a continental breakfast which consisted of a verity of muffins and fruit and in the afternoon we were served lunch which included hamburger and chicken sandwiches and hotdogs for the kids. The crew was very attentive to all, helping us with our equipment and responding enthusiastically to any and all questions. I would sail with this fine group anytime. My only suggestion would be to serve the morning continental breakfast and afternoon lunch while the boat is not moving. The water was a little choppy which made it very difficult to balance while getting ones meal.

We didn't know what to expect. My wife was unsure of the water and didn't plain on going in. But we both did and both loved it! So glad the crew was there to help with gear and easing our fears. We went with our Son and his family. They made sure the kids not only knew what they were doing. But also had fun doing it. Ended up not feeling so well on the way back in. But the heat was the hottest it had been since 1979. So with that and the waves combined it didn't help. So nice to have someone to take you out feed you and bring you back. Thank you for the wonderful memories! We will check you out again when we come back.

We went as a family of four with our 7-year-old and 2-year-old daughters. We arrived at the Hilton as planned, and the cheerful instructor kept the atmosphere lively on the bus. Once we reached the port, a Japanese guide entertained us well.

I heard the morning group had rain, but our trip was lucky with clear skies, and the sea was incredibly beautiful. We brought a float for our 2-year-old, and it was a big hit; she had a great time.

Lunch on the boat while looking at the sea, eating hamburgers, was fantastic. It’s definitely best to line up as soon as they start grilling the meat, as it got quite crowded.

After that, we went to see sea turtles and snorkeled at the coral reef. I did this with my older daughter, and it was amazing to see tropical fish up close! A waterproof camera is a must! We brought our own snorkels, but rentals are also available.

I would love to participate again if the opportunity arises, but it really depends on the weather.

7歳と2歳の娘を連れて家族4人で行ってきました。宿泊先のヒルトンにきちんと予定通りに来てもらい、陽気なインストの方がバス内を盛り上げてくれ、いざ港からは日本人の方がしっかり楽しませてくれました。
朝の組みは雨だったそうですが、私たちの便は海も運よく晴れてくれ、最高に美しかったです。2歳の娘に浮き輪を持って行きましたがこれが大活躍、彼女も楽しんでました。
昼ご飯も船上で海を見ながら食べるハンバーガーは最高でした。確かに肉を焼き始めたら直ぐに並んだ方がいいですね。大分混雑してました。
それからウミガメを見に行って珊瑚礁でシュノーケル、これは上の娘と二人でしましたが、熱帯魚が間近で見られて感動！防水カメラ必携です！シュノーケルは持って行きましたが貸出もちゃんとあります。
次回も機会があれば参加したいですが、本当に天気次第ですね。

We had an awesome time out! The crew was a very happy, helpful, hard working, knowledgeable, crew! They ran a tight ship and did the job well. The first site was the best lots of colorful things to see and clear water. Second spot not as clear ,still great got to see a shark swim under me, all the way down thankfully! Food was good and did the trick. My daughter fell in love with I believe his name was Tommy. He was very good with her she is 6. The worst part the ride to the dolphins when we didn't find any. Otherwise it was great!

When we went to the sandbar, we took a cruiser and enjoyed the beautiful emerald green sea. The breeze was pleasant, and it was very soothing.

I had seen sea turtles before, but being able to see them take cute breaths was another level of cuteness that healed me.

We also had a photo time at the sandbar, and it was great to have family photos to remember the day.

The children, who were snorkeling for the first time, were able to see fish and had a lot of fun with the help of the staff.

It was nice to hear the Japanese guide explain everything properly and share that this place was used as a filming location for a movie! The tour was packed with various activities in a short time in the morning, making it a fulfilling experience.

午前中の短時間にいろいろな事が盛り込まれた
充実したツアーでした。

We came to Hawaii for our honeymoon. Snorkeling was a lot of fun, but the time was really short. A package that included lunch might have been better.

After the rain, the water was a bit murky, but we saw a lot of fish, and it became a wonderful memory. Next, I want to try diving. I also want to go to the sandbar again.

新婚旅行でハワイに来ました。シュノーケリングはとても楽しかったのですが、時間がすごく短かったです。ランチ付きのコースでも良かったかも。
雨が降った後で少し水が濁っていたけど、たくさんの魚が見られてとても素敵な思い出になりました。
次は、ダイビングをしたいと思います。サンドバーにもまた行きたいな。

We had an awesome time. We saw Dolphins almost immediately once on the water. I swear I had Dolphins swim under me and to see the little babies was great too. We saw turtles as well which is always great. The crew were great and informative. An all round excellent day and looking forward to the photos from Lexi.

I thought it would be a typical beach resort, so I decided to participate. If it had been sunny, it surely would have been that way... Although it didn't rain, the thick clouds prevented the sun from shining, so the scenery of blue (sky), white (sand), and blue (sea) was not there. However, in terms of not having to worry about sunburn, that was a good thing. I enjoyed snorkeling and turtle watching, so I give it 4 stars. I realized that preparing for the cold is essential!

ビーチリゾートらしいなと思い参加しました。
晴れてればきっとそうだったんでしょうね・・・雨こそ降りませんでしたが雲が厚く日が差さなかったのでブルー（空）ホワイト（砂）ブールー（海）の景色ではありませんでした。
でも、日焼けに悩まされなかったと言う点では良かったのかな。
シュノーケリングも海がめウォッチも楽しめましたので☆4つです。
防寒の準備は必須！と思いました。

My daughter & I did the snorkel turtle canyon tour ! The staff were absolutely fantastic ! Very caring & ensuring we were ok . Recommend to everyone ! Certainly worth the $ .

I participated in a plan that departed at noon. The sandbar wasn't completely visible, but it was mystical and nice. I wasn't very confident in my swimming skills, so I was a bit anxious about snorkeling, but they provided life jackets and something like a float (it looked like a rolled-up yoga mat), which made me feel safe and allowed me to enjoy it. The hamburgers served for lunch on the boat were freshly made and delicious, and the crew was lively and made it fun!

お昼に出発するプランで参加しました。サンドバーは完全に砂浜が見える状態ではありませんでしたが、神秘的で良かったです。
泳ぎに自信がないのでシュノーケルは少々不安でしたが、ライフジャケットと浮き輪のようなもの(ヨガマットを丸めたような形)を貸してくださるので、安心して楽しめました。
船でサーブされるランチのハンバーガーも出来立てで美味しかったですし、クルーが盛り上げてくれて楽しかったです！

The sea was beautiful.

Since there were no people, it felt like a private beach!

They also lent us equipment, which was great!

We were able to experience a cruise, so it was fun!

海キレイの一言。

人がいないのでプライベートビーチでした！

グッツも貸してくれてGOOD！

クルーズも体験出来たので、楽しかった！

We played volleyball at the sandbar, ate hamburgers grilled on the boat, and went sea turtle watching. Fortunately, during snorkeling, I had the incredible experience of seeing sea turtles cross right in front of me twice, which was very moving!!!! I had also gone snorkeling at Hanauma Bay the day before, but I felt there were more fish here. It was very mystical and moving when the sunlight shone through. Since there were Japanese staff from the tour company, I had no worries at all.

サンドバーでバレーボールをし、船上で焼いてもらったハンバーガーを食べ、ウミガメウォッチング。そのままシュノーケリングをしました。
運良くシュノーケリングのときにウミガメが目の前を横切る場面が2度あり、かなり感動しました！！！！ハナウマ湾でもシュノーケリングを前日にしていましたが、こちらの方が魚も多く感じました。日光が差すととても神秘的で感動しました。
ツアー会社の方は日本人もいたため、心配することもありませんでした。

I participated in the first morning flight at 9:00. There was no wind, and the water surface was calm. Is the ocean in Waikiki really this beautiful? The color of the sea changes as you go further. I was able to see turtles while snorkeling—three of them, large, medium, and small. The sailing after snorkeling was also refreshing! I participate every time, and each time brings a different sense of wonder.

9:00発の朝一便で参加しました
風が無く水面も穏やか。ワイキキってこんなに海きれいだったけ？な程進むごとに海の色が変わります。スノーケルも亀ちゃんと見れます。大中小の3匹見れました。スノーケル後のセイリングも気持ちいい！！毎回参加してますが毎回違った感動があります

Kevin & his staff are patient, friendly, knowledgeable & kind. We had a great experience & I recommend them highly.

Friendly and entertaining staff, two stops at both the sandbar and the reef for snorkeling, a fun filled day with magnificent view

This trip was one of our best yet! We have done several activities in Kauai and this one will be hard to beat. Jessie was our travel guide and he was wonderful. He was full of information about the island, he was easy to talk to and it's easy to see he loves what he does. We are a family of four with two teenage sons and all four of us enjoyed the entire day; that is not always an easy accomplishment! The kayaking was very fun, Hanalei Bay was amazing and the snorkel location was just beautiful. Our lunch on the beach was great and It was one of those memories that will last a life time. Jessie was very professional and made us feel very comfortable every step of the way. I would recommend this adventure to anyone!

English :
It was awesome to swim this close from the spinner dolphins! The friend I come with was like a kid, she loved it and she add a check on her bucket list. We swam many times along the dolphins, there were about thirty and more. We had delicious snacks on our way back to the harbor. A thing to do in a lifetime :)
Thanks again to the crew!

Français :
C'était vraiment super de nager si près des dauphins spinner ! Mon amie qui était avec était comme une enfant tellement elle a adoré. Elle a pu rayer un élément de sa bucket list. Nous avons nagé plusieurs fois aux côtés des dauphins, il y en avait beaucoup, environ une trentaine (au moins) ! Lors du retour à la marina, nous avons eu de délicieuses bouchées à déguster. Merci à l'équipage pour ce super moment !

I participated in the sandbar activities for the first time. Due to the timing, the tide was high, and the area of the sandbar was smaller than I expected, which was a bit disappointing. However, I enjoyed activities like sea kayaking and snorkeling, and the staff were cheerful and really helped to create a fun atmosphere. I think it would be better to clarify the barbecue lunch, as it can be misleading; perhaps it should be called a BBQ hamburger lunch instead. Of course, it was delicious!

サンドバーのアクティビティに初めて参加しました。時間帯の関係で潮位が高くてサンドバー
の面積が思ったより狭かったのが残念でしたがシーバレー・・？やシュノーケリングも充分
楽しめたし、スタッフも明るく盛り上げてくれたので良かったと思います。ただ、バーベキュー
ランチというのは勘違いするので、BBQハンバーガーランチにしたほうがいいんじゃないかな。
もちろん美味しかったですよ！

This time, I participated with my two children, my husband, and my mother-in-law, making a total of five people. I was a bit worried about my mother-in-law, who is over 70, but she had a great time. The water at the sandbar was shallow enough to reach our ankles, so we could walk around. The scenery was incredibly beautiful, and the kids enjoyed playing beach volleyball. We even saw a sea turtle swimming close by while snorkeling. The staff were very accommodating, and it was truly a fun day. I would love to participate again!

今回は子供二人と主人と私と主人の義母の５人で参加しました。
義母は70歳を過ぎているので参加するのが少し不安でしたがとても楽しく参加でき、サンドバーでも水がくるぶし位だったので歩く事が出来ました。
景色もとーっても綺麗で子供達もビーチバレーなどして楽しんでいました。
シュノーケルでも海がめが近くで泳いでいるのが見れました。
スタッフの皆さんの対応も良く、本当に楽しい一日でした。また参加したいです‼︎

I participated with my 11-year-old son.
My boat had a mix of Japanese and Western guests, but it made me feel very American.
The staff, who were fluent in Japanese, provided detailed explanations, which made me feel at ease.
The snorkeling experience was amazing; we saw many tropical fish and even sea turtles! The sandbar was also wonderful! The hamburgers for lunch were very delicious.
As others have mentioned, it's a good idea to bring towels and jackets for the return bus ride.

11歳の息子と参加させていただきました。
私の船は半々で日本人と欧米の方という感じでしたがアメリカンな気分にさせてくれ
スタッフも日本語堪能な方が細かく説明をしてくれたので安心できました。
シュノーケルはたくさんの熱帯魚と海がめさんも見れて大感動！サンドバーもすばらしかったです！ランチのハンバーガーもとても美味しかったです。
帰りのバスは皆さんおっしゃってるようにタオルや上着を持っていったほうがよいですよ。

We jumped into the Pacific Ocean from the boat to go snorkeling in search of dolphins, so children who can't snorkel won't be able to participate. Since they charge from the age of 2, I thought we would be able to see something, but my husband stayed on the boat to take care of the kids, and in the end, I was the only one who got to go into the water. I also read in a magazine that unlike other tours, this one is divided into two hours like a university class, and I thought we would get to see sea turtles properly. However, it wasn't actually divided that way, and we could only do marine activities near the point where we could see the sea turtles, so we only had 30-40 minutes to do both and couldn't manage to do everything. Additionally, they sell photos at the end, but charging USD 60 for just the data and USD 65 for a USB is too expensive. I don't even know how much of us is in the photos, and I wish they would offer a more reasonable price.

太平洋に船から”どぼん”と入ってシュノーケルでイルカを探しに行くので、シュノーケルのできない子は無理です。2歳からお金をしっかり取られるので見れるのかと思いましたが、うちはパパが子供の面倒を見るのに船に残り、結局、海に入って見れたのは私一人でした。また、雑誌で読んだのですが、他のツアーと違い、1時間目、2時間目と別れて大学の授業風になっており、ウミガメをしっかり見れるのかと思いましたが、実際にはそんな風に分かれておらず、ウミガメを見るポイントの近くでマリンアクティビティをできるとのことで両方やるには30-40分しかないので両方できませんでした。。。また、最後に写真を販売するのですがデータのみでUSD60ドル、USB付きでUSD65は高すぎと思います、自分たちがどのくらい映っているのかもわからず、もう少し良心的な値段にしてほしいです。

This might have been the most fun part of my trip to Hawaii (^ - ^)/

We were picked up from the hotel and got on the bus around 9:20, arriving at the port around 10:10. The road was flat and easy. If we had driven, we might have arrived even faster.

After a while, we boarded the boat to the sandbar. We arrived in about 30 minutes and spent about an hour exploring and playing. The boat hardly rocked at all. The sandbar felt like a larger version of Hatenohama in Kume Island, Okinawa. There were no fish at the sandbar.

After that, we had cheeseburgers for lunch and moved to see sea turtles while heading to the coral reef with fish. This took about 10 to 20 minutes, I guess? We were able to see several sea turtles.

Once we reached the coral reef, we snorkeled around there. We saw sea turtles again. We played for about an hour before heading back to the port.

今回のハワイ旅行で一番楽しかったかも(^-^)/

ホテルからのピックアップでいき、9時20分くらいにバスにのり10時10分くらいに港につきました。道も平坦で楽でした。車で行けばもっと早くついたかも。

それから、しばらくして船にのりサンドバーへ。30分くらいで着いて、１時間くらい散策して遊び。船はほとんど揺れません。サンドバーは、沖縄久米島のはての浜の大きい版という感じです。サンドバーには魚はいません。

その後、チーズバーガーを昼食にとり、ウミガメを見に移動しつつ、魚のいる珊瑚礁に。これは10～20分くらい移動でしょうか？ウミガメは数匹見ることができました。

珊瑚礁についたら、その回りをシュノーケリングで遊びます。ここでもウミガメを見ました。１時間くらい遊んで港へ。

Initially, I had hoped to book the 10:30 tour, but since I couldn't secure a reservation, I changed it to the morning and was glad to get a spot! The meeting time wasn't too early, and our meeting place, since we were staying at Trump, was the Sheraton.

We took a bus and then boarded a ferry to search for sea turtles first. The excitement when we spotted them in the beautiful sea was indescribable.

After that, we swam while snorkeling over the coral reef. Everyone wore life jackets, so even at a depth of 10 meters, it was not scary at all. The joy of swimming while seeing the coral and fish was truly a first for me and became an unforgettable memory.

The sandbar was almost at low tide, and it was really strange how far it was from the shore. I would love to participate again when I visit someday.

Breakfast was a sandwich, and the cheese was melted and really delicious.

Thank you so much for the wonderful experience!

最初は10時半のツアーに希望を入れていたのですが予約が取れず、朝に変更したら予約が取れて良かったです！
集合時間もそんなに早くなくて、トランプに宿泊の私たちの集合場所はシェラトンになりました。
バスに揺られ、その後フェリーに乗ってまずウミガメを探します。
綺麗な海の中から見つけられた時の感激ったらありません。

その後は珊瑚礁の上をシュノケーリングで泳ぎました。
みんなライフジャケットを着て泳ぐので、水深１０メートルでも全然怖くありません。
珊瑚礁や魚を見ながら泳ぐ楽しさは本当に初めてで、忘れ難い思い出になりました。

サンドバーもほぼ干潮で、岸からかなり離れているのに本当に不思議でした。
またいつかまた訪れたときには、また参加したいです。
朝食はサンドウィッチでしたが、チーズもとろけていて本当においしかったです。

楽しい体験を本当にありがとうございました！

He was visiting Hawaii for the second time, while it was my first time in Hawaii and my first time snorkeling as well. I was excited but also anxious, worried about seasickness, but the crew really lifted my spirits and my worries disappeared! I hoped to see wild dolphins even just once, but I was amazed to see so many up close, even more than I expected. I also got to ride a kayak and took a lot of photos, which made for wonderful memories. I want to meet the dolphins again when I come back to Hawaii!

彼は2回目のハワイで私は初めてのハワイでシュノーケリングも初めてでした。
ワクワクしつつも、不安もあり、船酔いも心配でしたが、クルーの方々が盛り上げてくれて不安は一気にとびました！
一目でも野生のイルカを見れたらいいなぁと思っていましたが、予想以上に近くで沢山見れてすごく感動しました。
カヤックにも乗れて、写真を一杯撮っていただきすごく思い出に残りました。
また、ハワイに来た時にはイルカに会いたいです！

I had an amazing time snorkeling for the very first time. Captain Dave was great, he made me feel very comfortable. I am definitely coming back the next time I visit The Big Island!
