My husband & I are in Oahu in our honeymoon and we saw this and had to book it. The staff is so friendly and helpful! We sat on the nets, which going there was fun and what you would expect, but after snorkeling they take you sailing for a unique look at the island, but beware if you are sitting on the net..you WILL get soaked...but it truly is so much fun! They take you to the reef where turtles go to go their backs cleaned by fish. My recommendation when you swim to watch the turtles is to hang out on the side of the group. Most people will huddle over the turtles, but the have to come up for air, so if you are not in the chunk of people you will get a closer look because they will head your way for air! We saw lots of them and even some baby turtles! The fish in the water are beautiful as well and will swim all around you. I think it is definitely worth the $51! Book today and don't forget your underwater camera like I did!

I participated in the tour on the afternoon of March 20. The wind was strong and it was a bit chilly. At the shallowest point, it was about knee-deep.
It was indeed a very beautiful view, and the seawater was clear. I was very impressed when we got off the boat and walked to the sandbar. However, once we reached the sandbar, there wasn't much to do. It might be good to bring a beach ball or something, but walking from the boat to the sandbar is quite challenging, so it might be better not to bring anything...
As for activities at the sandbar, the only things to do are taking photos of the guests (for a fee) and filming a DVD (for a fee). So, until that is finished, we couldn't return to the boat, leaving us with nothing to do. Since it's shallow, we couldn't swim either. Most people were just wading in the water (since it gets cold when you get out), almost like taking a bath.
There were many beginners in snorkeling, and with so many people, it was more about following the staff's instructions and just swimming forward rather than enjoying it slowly. I think it would be better to do snorkeling at a different location.
I was a bit disappointed, especially since my expectations were high.
3/20の午後のツアーに参加しました。
風が強くて、肌寒かったです。
一番浅いところで、膝くらいでしたか。
確かにとても美しい眺めで、海水もきれいです。
ボートから降りて、サンドバーまで歩く時はとても感激しました。
ただ、サンドバーについてからはやることがなく、
ビーチボールか何か持っていけば良いのかもしれませんが
おそらくボートから降りてサンドバーまで歩くのは結構大変なので、何も持たない方が良いかと…
サンドバーですることといえば、お客さんの写真(有料)をとることと、DVD(有料)を撮ること。
なので、それが終わるまでボートに帰ることもできず、何もすることがない状態です。
浅いので泳ぐこともできません。
ほとんどの方が海につかって(出ると寒いので)お風呂状態??という感じ。
シュノーケリングも初心者が多く、人数も多いこともあって、ゆっくり楽しむというより、スタッフのかたの指示通り、とにかく泳いで進む!
シュノーケリングは別の場所でやる方が良いと思いました。
期待が大きかっただけに、少し残念でした。

The weather was perfect, and it was the long-awaited paradise of the sea. We walked in the sea (sandbar) that was about 40 centimeters deep, taking photos the whole time. After that, we went snorkeling, but it was difficult for my 9 and 7-year-old children, and they ended up getting bored. It would have been nice if there were other enjoyable activities like craft making on the boat.
天気にも恵まれ、念願の天国の海でした。
深さ40センチほどの海(サンドバー)を歩き、ひたすら写真撮影。その後は、シュノーケリングでしたが、9歳、7歳の子供達には、難しく、時間を持て余しました。(船の中では、他に楽しめるクラフト作りなどがあれば、良かったです)

I attended this with my husband and son. They are both strong swimmers, but I am not. I've never snorkeled before, and this is not where I should have tried it for the first time. I had a life jacket on, so I knew I was safe, but the water was very deep, and the water had 4-6 foot swells. We had to swim against the current to get to the turtles. The waves were too much for me, I got tired quickly, I was uncomfortable with it being so deep, and the waves so high, so I got back in the boat. My husband and son enjoyed it though, and got up close to the turtles. At one point some spinner dolphins approached the group, but because everyone is looking down, only a few of the swimmers saw them. The leader stayed with the group, and I felt the staff were excellent. After the snorkeling they put up the sail and we took off past Diamond Head, looking for whales. We didnt see any, but we spotted some bottle nose dolphins in the distance. And the ride was fun. The lunch was very basic

First, let me say it was a fun trip. The crew was awesome; they knew the area and did a great job of explaining everything we saw. The lunch was great. We got to see whales, turtles and dolphins. But when you book a snorkeling cruise because that's what we wanted to do and there's no snorkeling and no explanation as to why, that's why I'd say this is a rip-off.

My family had a wonderful time on this snorkel adventure! Even though only 3 of us were signed up for the afternoon activity, the staff was extremely friendly, courteous, and flexible.
We had a wonderful ride out to Captain Cook's monument, with stops along the way to explain some of the history for that part of the island. The snorkeling equipment was in very nice shape and fit well. The reef was very nice, with a wide variety of fish, and plenty of time to see everything. There were plenty of refreshments and snacks, including fresh pineapple and guava waiting for us when we finished snorkeling. On the ride back, out guide took us further out into the ocean to see if we might see any whales or dolphins.
All in all, this was a fantastic way to spend the afternoon of our last day on the island.

I participated in the afternoon tour. I received a reservation confirmation email that mentioned to call for confirmation the day before, but it might be a bit challenging for those who can't speak English.
I drove to the location with a rental car. The parking lot was far from the office and hard to find, so having a map in advance would be helpful.
The boat was fairly large, and I didn't feel seasick at all. We encountered dolphins along the way. There were light snacks and drinks available on board.
The sea was incredibly beautiful, and I was able to see many fish, coral reefs, and sea urchins. There was also a slide, which was fun.
I was surprised to see an elderly woman, who looked to be over 80 years old and bent over, entering the water! Of course, she had someone accompanying her.
Since it wasn't summer, it was cold when we got out of the water.

WOW! From the moment we arrived at the pier (we drove as we had a toddler with us) Jenner was playful and set a great mood. Everyone was excited for a day on the water, even though the weather didn't look too great. The Sandbar was fantastic, it's a unique experience being in the middle of the ocean, walking around. My husband had NEVER snorkeled before and found it hard to put the experience into words; he saw fish he'd only ever seen in documentaries and he was fascinated by the colours and the way they would swim around him... he's now officially addicted. Lunch was really good; well organised, quick and tasty. Our little one kinda freaked out on the boat and the staff were great with cheering him up. Jenner played his guitar while we ate and I've never felt more relaxed and like I was "in Hawaii". We saw turtles, the coral reef we moved to after the sand bar was unbelievable - the marine life is abundant and a hot cocoa at the end of a day snorkeling in cooler water was a perfect e

My dream of standing on a sandbar during my trip to Hawaii came true, and it was amazing. When I walked on the sandbar, the water was about ankle-deep, but standing there, I could see a beautiful panoramic view of the blue ocean, which felt wonderful. The staff kindly offered to take photos, saying, "Let’s take some pictures," and they captured various angles for us.
For snorkeling, I was provided with a life jacket, snorkel, and aqua pole (a cylindrical float), and I got ready. Since it was my first time snorkeling, they taught me how to use the equipment, and I swam. When I swam to the area with coral, I could see many small fish swimming around. I think it would be better to practice snorkeling beforehand so that you can swim further and enjoy it more. Those who were just in swimsuits looked a bit cold, but I wasn’t cold because I wore a short-sleeve T-shirt over my swimsuit.
The staff explained everything in Japanese, which made it easy to understand and reassuring. On the way, we also saw three large sea turtles swimming. It was a fun cruise tour, and I would love to go again.
ハワイ旅行でサンドバーの上に立つ夢がかない最高でした。サンドバーの上を歩くと水が足首くらいまであったけれどその上に立ち一面パノラマできれいな青い海が見えてとても気持ち良かったです。スタッフの方は「写真を撮りましょう。」と親切に声をかけて下さりいろいろな方向を向いた写真を撮って下さいました。
シュノーケリングでは、ライフジャケット、シュノーケル、アクアポール(円筒形ビート板)を貸してもらい身支度しました。スノーケリングは初めてでしたので使い方を教えてもらい泳ぎました。サンゴのある所まで泳いで行くと小魚がたくさん泳いでいるのが見えました。シュノーケリングは事前に練習して行く方が遠くまで泳げて楽しめると思いました。水着だけの人は少し寒そうでしたが私は、水着の上に半袖Tシャツを着ていたので寒くなかったです。
スタッフの方が日本語で話して説明して下さったのでよくわかり安心できました。また、行く途中に3びき大きなウミガメが泳いでいるのを見ました。楽しいクルーズツアーでした。また、行ってみたいです

Since it was March, it was a bit chilly. I recommend participating in this tour during warmer times. The water was cold, and we walked towards the sandbar while enduring it a little. If you’re not good with the cold, definitely bring a rash guard! When I participated, there was no beach, and I was about 20 centimeters submerged in water at the sandbar. So, if you’re aiming for a complete beach experience, it might be better to check the timing. As for snorkeling, I thought we would be doing it in shallow areas, but it was actually quite deep, which might be tough for first-timers, children, or those who aren’t strong swimmers. My mother, who was with me, said she was scared and watched from the board. However, while we were on the boat, we saw a manta ray and a sea turtle, which was very exciting! I heard that on lucky days, you can see both!
時期が3月という事もあり肌寒かったです。こちらのツアーは温かい時期に参加される事をオススメします。水も冷たく、少し我慢しながらサンドバーめがけてあるいていきました。寒いのが苦手な方はぜひラッシュガードを!私が参加したときは、砂浜はでてこず、サンドバーでも20センチ位水につかっていました。なので、完全な砂浜を目的にしている方は時期を確認されていてからの方が良いかもしれませんね。シュノーケリングは、浅い所でやるのかと思いきや、結構深い所だったので、初めてシュノーケリングする方や子供さんや泳ぎが不得意という方には厳しいかもしれません。同行した母は、怖いといってボードで見ていました。でも、ボートで走っている途中では、マンタとウミガメが見れ、とても感激しました!運が良い日は両方見られるらしいですよ!

This time in Hawaii, we weren't blessed with good weather, as there was a storm with rain and wind right up until the day before the tour. On the day of the tour, when we left Honolulu, the weather was still bad, and I was worried. However, when we arrived at the location, it was cloudy but slightly sunny. Yay! The sandbar was a place I had wanted to visit for a long time, and I was really glad I finally got to go. It was a wonderful place.
Additionally, I want to express my gratitude to our driver, Frankie Sakai, who was very kind on the way there, and to Yumi, who was also very helpful on the way back. Our guide on the boat, Yuta, was full of energy and made the experience enjoyable.

I captured that moment from the boat, and it was an incredibly valuable experience that left me very impressed.

I participated on a cloudy day with lower temperatures. The rain from the previous day made the water visibility somewhat poor. Compared to a sunny day, I think the experience loses quite a bit of its charm. Still, it was enjoyable to see sea turtles and underwater fish. The experience of standing in the middle of the ocean was very precious. The explanations during snorkeling and the attention to safety were thorough, making it a tour that beginners can join with confidence. The meals were all delicious and served buffet-style, allowing us to choose what we liked. I requested a DVD, but the final product was not as good as I had hoped. It included several clips where my eyes were closed and others where people intruded, which left me feeling very disappointed, especially since I paid extra for it. I really wanted to preserve those important memories, so it's quite regrettable. While the weather is beyond anyone's control, I hope they can improve the quality of the photos. Overall, it was a very enjoyable tour.

On March 4, 2012, I participated in a tour with Aloha Kona Tours for my honeymoon. During this time, if you're lucky, you can see not only dolphins but also whales.
We were fortunate enough to encounter whales. Moreover, we were much closer than typical whale watching experiences (within 10 meters). In fact, they were swimming right under the boat. On our way back after swimming with the dolphins, a whale jumped right in front of us. I was so excited that I couldn't say anything other than "Wow!" (It was the same for Mr. Nawata from Aloha Kona Tours, right? lol)
There are various discussions about Japan's whaling practices, but I think this experience is one that everyone should have if possible. It had a significant impact on my personal perspective.
There were also plenty of dolphins. I was able to swim while dolphins were right in front of me. Experiencing "swimming with a pod of dolphins" is something you definitely can't do in Japan. Dolphins are just so cute, and there were even mother and baby pairs. I was able to swim multiple times by anticipating the movement of the pod. I got so excited that I swam too much.
As for what to bring, in addition to swimwear, it's a good idea to have a waterproof digital camera. I'll post some photos as well.
Thanks to Mr. Nawata and Ms. Tsuyako from Aloha Kona Tours, I had a safe and incredibly fun experience. (In fact, they were enjoying it with us, too! lol) Honestly, if you're going to the Big Island, you should definitely join this tour.
2012年3月4日にハネムーンでAloha Kona Toursのツアーに参加しました。
この時期は運が良ければイルカだけでなく、クジラも見ることが出来ます。
私たちは正にそれで、クジラと遭遇できました。
しかも、よくあるホエールウォッチングとは比較にならない近さでした。(10m以内)
というかボートの下を通ってました。
また、イルカと泳いだ帰りにも目の前でクジラがジャンプしました。
興奮しすぎて「すげぇ!」以外の言葉が出てこなかったです。
(Aloha Kona Tours縄田さんもでしたよねw)
日本人は調査捕鯨の話などでいろいろありますが、この体験は出来ればした方がいいと思いました。
私個人の考え方にとてもインパクトを与えました。
イルカもたくさん居ました。
目の前にイルカが居る状態で泳げました。
「イルカの群れと泳ぐ」なんて体験は絶対に日本では出来ません。
イルカはとにかくカワイイです。親子連れとかも居ました。
群れの移動に先回りして何回も泳ぐことが出来ました。
テンション上がり過ぎて泳ぎ過ぎました。
持ち物としては水着等以外にも防水タイプのデジカメがあった方がいいです。
写真も投稿しておきます。
Aloha Kona Tours縄田さん・つやこさんのおかげで、安全にとても楽しい体験が出来ました。
(むしろ一緒になって楽しんでましたね(笑))
お世辞抜きにハワイ島へ行くならこのツアーに参加すべきです。

Since I am into diving, I went for snorkeling in the bay without expecting too much. It was beautiful.
There were plenty of fish, the reef was stunning, and the water clarity was high.
I think the clarity was comparable to that of the remote islands in Okinawa.
Drinks, snacks, and pineapples were all-you-can-eat.
On the way back, we encountered a pod of dolphins, and further away, there were whales.
It was fun on the large boat without any seasickness.
ダイビングやってるので湾でのシュノーケル、まぁそこまで期待しすぎず行きました。美しかったです。
魚も豊富リーフも美しい、透明度も高い。
透明度は沖縄の離島クラスかと思います
ドリンク、お菓子、パイナップルが食べ放題でした。
帰りにイルカの群れに遭遇、さらに遠くにはクジラ。
大きな船で船酔いも無く楽しかったです。
