The Na Pali Coast is definitely best viewed from the sea and the sky. My husband and I highly recommend this tour, which allows you to experience this dynamic scenery up close. You can see wild dolphins swimming alongside the boat and catch glimpses of the leisurely honu (sea turtles). Since it's not easy to get close to Niihau Island, this plan allows you to learn about its history through announcements during the tour. Of course, there’s plenty of time for snorkeling, and you can swim freely at beautiful coral spots. The tour includes floats, fins, and masks, so you can participate with just your swimsuit (a windbreaker and long-sleeved swimsuit are also recommended if you have them).
The boat is large, new, and comfortable, but it does speed up quite a bit on the way there and back, so it's wise to be cautious of seasickness. It can be quite bumpy (though it might have just been the sea conditions on the day we participated). Even if you think you won't get seasick, please bring seasickness medication just in case.
I recommend standing on the deck to enjoy the dynamic and beautiful scenery rather than staying inside the boat, so having a windbreaker is very helpful. Experienced couples and families (including those from overseas) were well-prepared with adventure gear. The buffet-style sandwiches served for lunch are delicious, even better than breakfast! It seems that many adults participated, as you can casually enjoy beer (after snorkeling).
ナ・パリコーストは絶対に海から、空から眺めるのが良いという感想。私たち夫婦はこのダイナミックな景色を間近に体感できるこのツアーをお勧めします。野生のイルカが船と一緒に泳ぎ、ホヌののんびりした姿を垣間見ることができ ニイハウ島はなかなか近くまで行くことができないため このプランだと歴史のアナウンスとともに知ることができます。もちろん、シュノーケルの時間もたっぷりあって美しいサンゴのスポットで自由に泳ぐことができます。このツアーには浮きやフィン、マスクなどがついてるので 水着と(あればウィンドブレーカーと長袖の水着がなお良い)身一つで参加できるので良いです。 ただ、船は大型で新しいもので快適ですが 途中と帰り道はかなり飛ばすので 船酔いには気をつけたほうがいいです。相当揺れます。(私たちの参加した日の海の状況がそうだっただけかもしれませんが)船酔いしないよ!と思う方でもぜひ船酔い止めをご持参ください。
船のなかでなく、甲板に立ちダイナミックな美しい景色を鑑賞しながらの参加がおすすめなのでウィンドブレーカーがあるととてもいいですよ。
こなれたカップルやご家族(海外の方)さんたちはそういう冒険グッズの用意が周到でした。
朝ごはんよりランチに出るバイキング形式のサンドウィッチが美味しいですよ★ビールも気軽に(シュノーケルのあとですが)飲めるので大人の参加が多かったように思います。

I participated on the morning of July 14th. A stunning sandbar appeared in the midst of a deep blue sky, pure white clouds, and the ever-changing blue ocean! It was a beautiful scene unlike anything I had ever seen before, making me question whether it was a dream or reality. It was a miraculous landscape created over many years. I was thrilled to see the honu (sea turtles) up close and had an amazing time. The malasadas were also very delicious.
7/14午前に参加しました。真っ青な空、真っ白な雲と変化するたくさんの青の海の中にサンドバーが見事に出現!!今まで自分が見たことのない、夢なのか現実なのかわからないような美しい景色が広がりました。長い年月の中から生み出された奇跡の風景です。ホヌもまじかに見ることができて大感激の時間を過ごしました。マラサダもとてもおいしかったです。

I saw a manta ray for the first time! It's huge! I'm so moved.
I'm excited!
I recommend a video camera that can shoot underwater or a digital camera that can record videos.
I participated with a snorkel, but when divers are directly below, the bubbles from their air rise up and make it almost impossible to see. If you use a flash, it reflects off the tiny bubbles and you can't capture the manta... If you shoot video, you can get some amazing footage of the manta doing flips!!!
I read on Alan1.net that you can rent wetsuits, but I didn't see anyone actually borrowing them, and the staff didn't seem to be actively looking for people who wanted to rent them. Another Japanese couple ended up not renting one and looked a bit anxious. I think it's quite cold in the water for slim people. I was shivering from the cold after getting out (we participated at the end of June). A large bath towel and thick sweatshirt are essential. Also, although I don't think it will happen, there were about 30 people on the boat, and luggage was placed carelessly, so it's safer not to bring valuables as much as possible.
I definitely recommend this for anyone who loves aquariums!!
マンタ初めて見ました!でかい!感動です。
興奮します!
水中で撮影できるビデオカメラもしくは動画撮影できるデジカメがおすすめ。
シュノーケルで参加しましたが、ダイビングの人が真下にいる場合、ダイバーの
エアの泡がたくさん上がってきてほぼ見えない状態。フラッシュ光らせると
細かい気泡にも反射してマンタが撮らない•••。動画ならマンタが宙返りしている迫力あるのが撮れます!!!
Alan1.netさんのページでウエットスーツを借りられると書いてありましたが、実際借りている人は見当たらず、また、特にスタッフが借りたい人を募るわけでもなく、別の日本人カップルは結局借りずにちょっと不安がってました。痩せている人は水の中はけっこう寒いと思います。水からあがったら震えるほど寒かったです(私たちは6月末に参加しました。)。大きめのバスタオルと厚手のスエットは必須です。また、ないとは思いますが、船上に30人?近い人が乗り込み、荷物も無造作に置くので貴重品はできるだけ持っていかないのが安心です。
水族館が好きな人には絶対おすすめです!!

I went last week!
It was a tour that I was completely satisfied with. On the day we participated, my group was the only one made up of Japanese people. Most of the other guests were from the mainland United States. There were mostly couples, families, and groups participating.
We received safety instructions for snorkeling, but we were given a paper written in Japanese, so I think even those who are worried about the language can participate with peace of mind. Also, the staff and the surrounding guests all had a friendly atmosphere, so even if you don't speak English well, you can communicate with simple words and have a good time.
I think it's okay for those who are not confident in swimming to participate. On this tour, there were people enjoying themselves while floating on inflatable rings.
I recommend this tour for the morning since the waves are calmer then. Even in the morning tour, the waves do get a bit higher in the latter half.
It was a very enjoyable tour, but I got seasick on the way back. It takes nearly 30 minutes from the snorkeling point to the port, so you might feel nauseous. I recommend bringing motion sickness medication. Even if you don't have any, if you tell the staff, they will make ginger ale to help alleviate the nausea.
For snorkeling, I was lent a prescription snorkeling set. It's recommended for those who wear glasses.
Everyone was able to return to their childhood, jumping into the sea and enjoying snorkeling, having a great time. Other guests were also frolicking like children. I definitely recommend participating as a group and having fun together.
The water was clear down to the bottom, which was impressive. There were many sea urchins at the bottom, and I was able to see cute fish as well. The seawater was warm, which was also nice.

私たちが参加した日は私のグループのみが日本人でした。
他はアメリカ本土からのお客さんが多かったです。
カップルや家族連れ、グループでの参加がほとんどでした。

また、スタッフやまわりのお客さんもみんなフレンドリーな雰囲気だったので、英語が良くできなくても、簡単な言葉でコミュニケーションをとったり、楽しく過ごすことができました。
泳ぎに自信がない人も参加して大丈夫だと思います。
今回のツアーでも、浮き輪で揺られて楽しんでいる人もいました。
また、午前中のほうが波が静かなので、こちらのツアーをお勧めします。午前中のツアーでも後半では波が少し高くなってきます。
とても楽しいツアーでしたが、帰りの船で船酔いしてしまいました。スノーケリングのポイントから港まで30分近くかかるので、気持ち悪くなるかもしれません。
酔い止めを持っていくことをお勧めします。
もし、酔い止めをもっていなくとも、スタッフに伝えれば、酔い止めを緩和するジンジャーエールを作ってくれます。
スノーケリングでは、度付きのスノーケリングセットを貸してもらいました。めがねの人はお勧めです。
みんなが童心に帰って、海に飛び込んだり、スノーケリングを楽しんだり、楽しい時間をすごすことができました。
他のお客さんも子供のようにはしゃいでいました。
絶対、グループで参加してみんなでワイワイ過ごすことをオススメします。
海の中は底まで透き通っていて、感動的でした。
海の底にはウニがたくさんいて、かわいい魚たちも見ることができました。海水も暖かかったのもよかったです。

I initially booked this event for my ten- and seven-year-old grandkids. However, it turned out to be a terrific day for all three generations. The friendly crew of the Barefoot I made us feel welcome from the time we arrived at the dock. It was a very windy day, but, the catamaran was steady. The energetic, enthusiastic and entertaining crew covered the basics of snorkeling and equipment during our ten-minute cruise to the submerged sandbar in the middle of beautiful Kaneohe Bay. The sandbar stop was the perfect opportunity for first time snorkelers to practice in a comfortable environment and the waist-deep volleyball was a real hoot! The crew grilled our burgers and served lunch at the sandbar. Much to our surprise and delight our cruise director, Jenner, serenaded us with voice and guitar while we ate. During the ten minute sail to the snorkel site we saw a dozen or so green sea turtles. The beautiful coral reef was in a very isolated area in crystal clear waters. The area was teem

We were able to see a lot of turtles up close while snorkeling!! For us turtle lovers, it was truly moving (>0<)!
On the way to and from, we encountered a school of flying fish on the boat! They were jumping a lot~! During snorkeling, we got to see a family of barracuda, pufferfish, and various butterflyfish, among other underwater creatures that you would typically meet while diving. It was surprising to encounter them while snorkeling (・。・)!!
This time, the tour was in English, so we were the only two Japanese people. The rest were American families. Although it was English-only, we had no major issues even with our broken English. The captain was unique, and all the staff were friendly. We even met a family that had lived in Japan, which made it a lot of fun!!
While playing, there were floatation devices and life jackets available, and staff were always nearby, so we felt safe. I think it was a tour that people of all ages could enjoy!

We participated as a family of four. Since it was the morning session, as soon as we set sail, we were served malasadas. We checked the tide schedule in advance, so we were able to land perfectly on the sandbar. The sandbar has no shade, so be sure not to forget sunscreen. After that, we enjoyed snorkeling. We were told there were sea turtles, but since they weren't near me, I couldn't encounter them. However, I was able to see them while on the boat. The staff were also fun and friendly, which was great.

Although the weather was unfortunately rainy and windy in the morning, the breathtaking scenery of the sandbar felt like something out of this world (laughs). When the sun occasionally peeked through, it was just like being in a bath salt paradise!!!
And, believe it or not, you can smoke on the sandbar!!!! Just make sure not to litter~~!
The staff were all very friendly, and there was a nice mix of Japanese and foreign guests, creating a warm atmosphere. The cheeseburger for lunch was truly delicious, and even I, who usually gets seasick (though I did take some motion sickness medication), was fine. They also provide fins for snorkeling, so you can dive as much as you want!!!!
Before I knew it, it was already time to wrap up.
Moreover, the relaxed vibe of "feel free to join if you want~ or take a break if you need~" was fantastic. Plus, since I’m currently doing hula in Japan and the song was "KANEOHE," it really boosted my mood. I highly recommend it.
朝から雨&風が強いあいにくの天気でしたが、やはりサンドバーのこの世とも思えない(笑)景色は最高でした。
たまに太陽が差すと、まんまバスクリンの世界!!!
そして、、、、なんと、、、、、
サンドバーでタバコが吸えます!!!!ゴミは捨てちゃだめですよ~~~!
スタッフはみんな親切な方ばっかりで、日本人と外国の方半々くらいでしたが和気あいあいとしてました。
お昼のチーズバーガーは、本当においしかったし、船酔いしやすい私も大丈夫でしたし(一応酔い止めは飲みましたが)シュノーケルはフィンも貸出してくれるので、素潜りしたい放題!!!!
あっという間に終わりの時間になってしまいました。
しかも、いきたかったらどうぞ~やすむならどうぞ~的なゆるい空気は、最高でした。
しかも、いま日本でフラをしていて曲がKANEOHEだったのでなおさら気分が盛り上がりました。

I participated in the morning session of the honeymoon tour. The staff were very friendly, and there was a sisterly vibe with someone who could speak Japanese!
First, we went sea turtle watching, and so many honu showed up, plus a manta ray made an appearance! I was so moved to capture it all on camera.
At the sandbar, unfortunately, we couldn't fully enjoy the sandy beach, but the water was shallow enough to my ankles, and I couldn't help but have fun! We took about 3-4 photos, and they helped create some great shots!
Compared to similar tours, the snorkeling here didn't require wearing life jackets, which made it feel very free and enjoyable. The breakfast sandwiches were delicious too! This was definitely a tour I would love to join again! Thank you very much! (*´ω`*)

I previously participated in this tour and had a great time, so I joined again this time. During the afternoon BBQ lunch tour, I was able to see many sea turtles. Unfortunately, the sandbar had a high water level this time, so it wasn't visible, but the scenery was beautiful and amazing. The snorkeling seemed to have fewer fish... The BBQ on the boat was also fantastic! The meat was really delicious. There were nearly 50 participants this time, and the boat was quite crowded, plus while snorkeling, I often bumped into others, which made it a bit uncomfortable. I hope they consider limiting the number of participants per session a bit more.

I was a bit worried because the people I was supposed to join were not arriving, but thanks to the lively energy of some cheerful Latin American women, I had a great time. We encountered a pod of dolphins along the way, and they spun and jumped right next to the boat several times. The snorkeling was also very beautiful.
As mentioned in other reviews, I didn't have a good grasp of English, so I couldn't fully understand the explanations, and it was a bit disappointing that I couldn't communicate much with other foreigners. However, the captain and the other staff were very kind.

I participated on May 20th.
First, the reception desk was set up in front of the Body Glove boat. Staff members arrived a little before the meeting time. It seemed there were no staff who spoke Japanese, but everyone was very gentlemanly and friendly, and they kindly listened even to my broken English, which was helpful.
We encountered a pod of dolphins right after departure. I think there were about 20 of them. It was my first time seeing wild dolphins, and I was moved. By the way, we encountered them again at the same spot on the way back, so they might always be there during this time of year.
After that, it took about 40 minutes to reach the snorkeling point. There was guidance in English along the way, but I couldn't catch it because it was too fast. However, they showed us a Japanese explanation sheet, so it was not a problem at all.
You can enjoy snorkeling for over two hours at a depth of about 5 to 10 meters where there are coral reefs. The water was a bit cold and somewhat chilly, but the visibility was high and there were many fish, so I had a great time. There seemed to be life jackets available, but I was strongly recommended to use a noodle, which is a long foam float, and when I tried it, it was indeed easy to use. Of course, they also lend you a snorkel and fins.
As for meals, as soon as you get on the boat, you can freely take breakfast (bread, muffins, fruit, drinks), and when you arrive at the snorkeling point, lunch (bread, ham, vegetables, potato chips, drinks, etc., all of various kinds) is provided, which you can also eat freely. The taste was just average, but I thought it was good that there were various options.
We were the only Japanese participants, but I think it’s a tour that is easy to join because the staff is very polite. One point to note is that the boat sways quite a bit, so I think it would be safer for those who are prone to motion sickness to take some medication before participating.
5月20日に参加してきました。
まず、受付はボディグローブの船の前にデスクが置いてあり、そちらになります。集合時間の少し前からスタッフの方がいらっしゃいました。日本語の通じるスタッフはいないようでしたが、皆さん非常に紳士的かつフレンドリーで片言の英語でも丁寧に聞いてくれるので、助かりました。
出発してすぐにイルカの群れに遭遇しました。20頭ぐらいはいたと思います。野生のイルカは初めて見たので感動でした。ちなみに、帰りも同じポイントで遭遇しましたので、この時期は日中いつもそこにいるのかも知れません。
その後、40分ほどかけてシュノーケリングポイントに到達します。途中、英語でガイダンスがありますが、早口で全く聞き取れませんでした。でも、日本語の説明書を見せてくれるので全く問題なかったです。
珊瑚礁のある深さ5~10m程度のところで2時間以上シュノーケリングを満喫できます。水がやや冷たく若干肌寒かったですが、透明度は高く魚も多いので楽しめました。ライフジャケットもあるようでしたが、ヌードルという細長い発泡スチロールのような浮きを強く奨められ、使ってみたところ確かに使いやすかったです。もちろん、シュノーケルとフィンも貸してくれます。
食事は、船に乗るとすぐに朝食(パン、マフィン、果物、飲み物)をフリーで取ることができ、シュノーケリングポイントにつくとランチ(パン、ハム、野菜、ポテトチップス、飲み物などいずれも複数種類)が用意され、これもフリーで食べられます。味はまあ普通ですが、種類がいろいろあるのがよいと思いました。
日本人は我々だけでしたが、スタッフがとても丁寧なので参加しやすいツアーだと思います。一点だけ、船は結構揺れるので、弱い方は酔い止めを飲んで参加した方が安心だと思います。

Honestly, I set off not knowing what to expect.
The experience involved riding a high-speed jet board from the harbor near the King Kamehameha Hotel to Captain Cook.
There, I was able to rent a snorkeling set and snorkeled for about 30 minutes. Snacks (potato chips and chocolate chip cookies) and fruit were provided, along with soft drinks.
On the way back, we toured coastal sightseeing spots with explanations, but since the guide only spoke English, I felt a bit sad (like I missed out?).
Overall, I think it’s a refreshing experience that gives you a sense of an American adventure.

I was able to see dolphins. I was a bit worried because it seemed that some people couldn't see them, but during my visit, perhaps due to the timing, I was able to see dolphins swimming from the hotel balcony in the morning, so I wasn't too concerned. By the way, it was around mid-May, during the new moon phase (which may not be related).
As soon as we set sail, we saw dolphins up close, and I was really excited. I regretted not taking pictures because I thought we would be snorkeling there. We ended up snorkeling at another location, which had beautiful coral reefs. They provided masks and fins, and just floating in the sea was very soothing and enjoyable. There were always meals and drinks available, and the shower and restroom were clean, so I thought it was a nice experience. It felt more like a relaxing playtime.
I also did diving as an option. I didn't understand the language, but they properly informed us about the dive sites and guided us, so I had a lot of fun. However, once you start diving, the free time (if you can call it that) becomes limited. I thought it would be amazing if we could dive in the area where the dolphins are.
イルカ見れました。書き込みには、見れなかった人もいたようなので、ちょっと心配でしたが、私の時は、時期がよっかったのか、ホテルのベランダからも朝はイルカが泳いでいるのがみれていたので、心配がなたったです。ちなみに5月半ばの、(関係ないかもだけど、)新月位の時でした。
出航してすぐイルカがみれ、まじかでしたので、ちょう興奮しました。そこでスノーケルかと思い写真をとらなかったのが、残念でした。スノーケルは、他の場所で、そこは珊瑚のきれいな海です。マスクとフィンを貸してくれて、海に浮いているだけでもとても癒されよかったです。食事も飲み物もつねにあるし、シャワーもついてるし、トイレもキレイなので、いい感じだと思います。どちらかというと、のんびり遊ぶ(癒しな)感じだと思います。
オプションでダイビングもしました。言葉は解りませんが、ちゃんとポイント名も教えてくれて、ガイドもしてくれたので、結構楽しめました。 ただ、ダイビングをしてしまうと、自由時間(?)が少なくなってしまいます。せっかくなら、イルカがいるところで、ダイビングできたら最高なのにな、と思いました。

The weather was great, the beautiful sea was visible, and I was able to swim, so it was GOOD. The staff also helped create a fun atmosphere. The BBQ was delicious.
However, if I participate next time, I would like to request the following improvements.
For the program that involves walking down to the beach, please provide marine shoes. A friend cut their foot. (After that, we couldn't enjoy free sightseeing or sports.) I believe entering the sea barefoot is unsafe. I participated with marine shoes (I was the only one).
During snorkeling, there were no fins available for rent. Without fins, it's difficult to move as desired, so it wasn't enjoyable. Also, since everyone was wearing life jackets, we couldn't dive and were just floating.
If these two points could be improved, I would like to participate again next time. Unfortunately, I didn't see any sea turtles.
P.S. Everyone participating was very nice. Thank you. Thank you to the staff.
天気に恵まれ、美しい海が見れ、泳げましたので、GOODでした。スタッフさんも、雰囲気を盛り上げてくれて楽しめました。BBQもおいしかったです。
但し 次回参加するとしたら、次の改善をお願いします。
歩いて、ビーチに下りるプログラムでは、マリンシューズの用意をお願いします。友人が足を切りました。(以降自由な観光、スポーツが出来ませんでした)基本的に素足で海に入ることは、安全上NGと考えています。自分はマリンシューズを持って参加しました。(唯一私のみ)
スノーケリングの時、足ひれの貸し出しがありませんでした。足ひれがないと、思うように進みませんので楽しめません。且全員ライフジャケット着用なので、もぐりが出来なく、ただ浮かんでいる状態です。
2点改善していただければ、次回も参加したいと思います。
海がめは、残念ながら見れませんでした。
追伸 参加されている方は、皆さんとても良い感じの方でした。ありがとうございました。
スタッフさんありがとうございました。
