All Reviews for Snorkeling Cruises & Tours

Family trip with 3 teenage boys. Everyone loved it. Water slides were a fun addition. Good breakfast and lunch including vegetarian options. Snuba on trip was not as fulfilling. Overpriced ($69 additional to cruise charge) and too short(30mins). For the price, they should have included that free with the cruise as others do. Otherwise, great trip. Thanks~

Correction: There have only been TWO afternoon snorkels in YEARS to Molokini. Due to the winds, they don't go out there in the afternoon. Coral Gardens is in a very windy location. Be prepared to be bopped up and down. A LOT. A much better location where you can see so many more different varieties of fish, and it won't cost you a dime, is Honokahua Bay. Northwest area. The coral is breathtaking, many many more beautiful colored fish to see. Turtles are there so you can snorkel with them as well.

If we got to do-over, our group voted to snorkel on our own in Honokahua Bay. The "glassbottom" portion of the catamaran was closed, so forget it. The lunch they cooked was awesome! But you can get an awesome lunch at any restaurant,right?

Skip the Snuba. Waste of money.

Not impressed with the views from this harbor. Pick a snorkel that departs from the northwest for better island views.

This time, because it was high tide, the sea was deep and I couldn't play much with my child.

The lunch BBQ was quite disappointing... I hope they can improve it a bit.

The atmosphere and being able to see the sea turtles were really great.

今回、満ち潮だったので、海が深く子供と一緒に
あまり遊べませんでした。

ランチBBQはとってもおそまつ。。。
もう少し改善してほしい。

雰囲気やウミガメを見れたのはとっても良かったです。

I participated on August 25th. As Mr. Nawata cheerfully said, "Dolphins are natural creatures, so there's no 100% guarantee, but we will do our best!" we entered the water at just the right moment to see many dolphins, and when they disappeared, we boarded the boat again. He also created many opportunities by saying, "This way!" while observing their movements.

The staff members were wonderful. I was very impressed by their proactive support for elderly participants and children. They made sure each participant felt satisfied by bringing us close to the dolphins, saying things like, "You were really close just now, [Name]!" The teamwork was outstanding, with Maddy on the boat loudly informing us, "They are coming toward us from 20 meters away." It was heartwarming to see how much they love dolphins and enjoy their work, conveying their desire for participants to experience this joy.

Meeting so many dolphins up close felt like a dream.

It was so much fun that I participated again during my stay. Mr. Nawata mentioned, "The last time was so great, so don't expect too much this time," but the second time exceeded the first! Right beneath us, a pod of 5 to 6 dolphins danced multiple times. At one point, our swim guide Daisuke joined in on the dolphins' play. It was a very happy sight to witness.

The boat swaying felt like an attraction and was enjoyable, but for those who are not confident with even a little motion, I recommend taking motion sickness medication in advance. It's a wonderful opportunity, after all.

Thank you to everyone at Aloha Konas, all the fellow passengers, the dolphins, and the great nature of the Big Island for such a fun time. With heartfelt gratitude.

　8月25日に参加しました。「イルカは、自然の生き物だから100％はないけど、ウチは粘るよ～」と縄田さんが明るく笑顔でおっしゃっていた通り、イルカの動きをよんで「さあ、今！」と海に入り、いっぱいイルカに会って、いなくなると、再び乗船。また、動きを見て「こっちだよ」とたくさんの機会をつくってくださいます。

　素晴らしいのが、スタッフの方々。高齢の方や、お子さんを積極的にフォローする姿勢に、大変好感をもちました。また、参加者一人ひとりに、「〇〇さん、さっきすごく近くだったね」「〇〇さんも」とみんなが満足できるように、イルカの近くまで連れていってくださいます。チームワークも抜群で、船上からマディさんが「20m先からこっちに向かってきているよ」など大きな声で教えてくれます。そして、イルカが大好きで楽しんで仕事をしていて、参加者に「この楽しさをぜひ味わってもらいたい」という気持ちが伝わってくることを嬉しく思いました。
たくさんのイルカと、ものすごく近くで会って、夢のような時間でした。

　あまりに楽しかったので、滞在中に再び参加しました。縄田さんは、「前回が良すぎだったから、期待しすぎないでねー」とおっしゃっていましたが…、
2回目は1回目以上！
私たちが浮いている真下で、イルカが5～6頭の群れになって何回も踊って（？）いました。
途中からは、スイムガイドのダイスケくんもイルカたちの遊びに加わっていました。
見ていて、とても幸せな光景でした。

　船が揺れてアトラクションみたいで楽しいのですが、
少しでも揺れに自信がない方は、酔い止めの薬を事前に飲まれることを
おすすめします。せっかくの楽しい機会なので…。

　アロハコナーズの皆様、一緒に乗船した皆様、イルカちゃんたち、ハワイ島の大自然、
とても楽しい時間をありがとうございました。
心からの感謝をこめて。

I finally got to go on the tour I had been wanting to go on in July. Actually, my husband is 63 years old and I am 54, and I wasn't confident in my swimming skills, so I didn't plan to go snorkeling. However, I was overcome by the urge to try it, and I experienced it by myself. It was my first time in life! I'm glad I did it. As for the sandbar, I didn't check the moon's condition before going, so it was quite full, but I was satisfied. The sandwich was simple, but it was delicious!

行きたい行きたいと思っていたツアーに　7月にやっと行けました　実は主人は63歳　私は54歳で　泳ぎに自信が無い為　シュノーケリングはするつもりありませんでした　でもやってみたい衝動にかられ　私だけ体験しました　人生初体験！　やってよかったですサンドバーは　月の状態を調べて行った訳ではないので　結構満ちてましたが満足です　サンドイッチもシンプルですが　美味しかったですよ

I encountered a sea turtle for the first time. On the way to the sandbar, the boat stopped at a point where sea turtles are known to be, but I could only see the head of something that looked like a turtle far off on the water's surface. The guide reassured me, saying, "There are better spots!" but to be honest, I was a bit anxious. However, when we arrived at the sandbar and went snorkeling, I was able to see cute sea turtles because there were homes for them among the coral reefs. I also encountered several types of fish. Even for first-timers, snorkeling was very reassuring as we all lined up, and the staff kept a watchful eye on us the whole time. There were also turtles swimming around the boat, allowing us to see them up close. I was thrilled when the captain noticed me with my camera and dove underwater to take great photos of the sea turtles. After that, we went back to the boat for a meal, and everything was delicious—beef, chicken, curry, pineapple, cookies, and juice—so much so that I went back for seconds multiple times. Since the sandbar coincided with a full moon, unfortunately, the water was up to my waist, but the color of the sea and the surrounding scenery were amazing, and my whole family was very satisfied. This tour was wonderful because the guide and all the staff made an effort to entertain the participants, and I felt glad to have joined. Sea turtles are the best, the sandbar is the best, thank you for a fun day!

　初めて、ウミガメに出会えました。　サンドバーを目指す途中にウミガメのいるポイントで船を止めて下さいましたが、遠くの水面にそれらしきモノの頭がちょっと見えただけでした。ガイドさんは、「もっといいポイントがあるから！」と安心させて下さいましたが、正直やや不安でした。　でも、サンドバーに着いて、シュノーケリングをしていると、サンゴ礁の間にウミガメさんのおうちがあるとかで、かわいいウミガメをしっかり見ることができました。　数種類の魚たちとも出会うこともできました。シュノーケルは、初めての方でも、みんなで列になり、スタッフさんたちがずーっと見守って下さっているので、とても安心して参加することができます。　また、船の周りをグルグル回ってくれる亀さんもいて、たっぷりと見ることができました。　船長さんがカメラを持っている私を見つけると、水中の潜ってウミガメの写真をバッチリ写して下さったのには感激でした。　その後、船に上がって食事になりますが、お肉のビーフやチキン、カレー、パイナップル、クッキー、ジュースなどどれも最高においしくて、何度もおかわりをしてしまいました。　サンドバーは満月の日に当たっていたので、残念ながら、腰くらいまでが水に浸かってしまう状態でしたが、海の水の色、周りの景色が素晴らしく、家族みんな大満足でした。　このツァーは、ガイドさん、スタッフさんのみんなが参加者を楽しませるようにサービスして下さるので、参加してよかったなと思いました。　ウミガメ最高、サンドバー最高、楽しい一日をありがとうございました。

We loved this Snorkel and Snuba Sail . The crew was AMAZING, the fish were friendly, and the sun was shinning. We had a blast!!! I would totally go again!!!

The sea in heaven was wonderfully beautiful. A sea turtle came close to the boat, and it was so cute. There were many corals for snorkeling, and I was very satisfied to see large fish and sea turtles in their nests. The barbecue was surprisingly delicious, especially the chicken. The guide was bright and cute, which was great. The only downside was that the sandbar was shallow, reaching about waist-deep near high tide. It must be best during low tide on a big tide. It was worth going.

天国の海は素晴らしく綺麗でした。船の近くにウミガメが寄ってきて、すごくかわいい。シュノーケリングもサンゴも多く大きな魚や、巣にいるウミガメも見れて大満足。バーベキュー期待外れに美味しい。特にチキンは美味。ガイドさん、明るくて可愛くてよかったです。難はサンドバーが満潮に近く浅くても腰下くらいまであったことです。大潮の干潮時が最高でしょうね。行く価値ありました。

I have never been to such a wonderful place before. Being in the middle of the ocean felt very surreal. I was satisfied to enjoy it with my son. I wish we had more time for snorkeling. We were able to see even more tropical fish than at Hanauma Bay. It was a lot of fun! It became a great memory. The staff was friendly too! Next time, I want to join a wild dolphin tour.

今まで、こんな素敵な場所に行った事がありません。海の中にあって、とても不思議な気分でした。息子と2人で楽しむ事が出来て、満足しています。スノーケリングの時間がもっとあれば良かったなぁ、と思います。熱帯魚はハナウマベイに行くよりも、もっと見る事が出来ました。楽しかったです！良い思い出になりました。スタッフの方もフレンドリーでした！今度は野生のイルカツアーに参加したいです。

We were excited to try snuba for the first time as a family of five, but the boat rocked quite a bit, and one of the kids ended up with severe seasickness, so we couldn't really enjoy it in the end.

Both my husband and I can speak some English, so we thought we would be fine without a Japanese guide. However, we couldn't keep up with the explanations and jokes about snuba due to the loud engine noise on the boat, and we regretted that decision.

The visibility of the fish wasn't as good as we had hoped, and we were imagining schools of fish around coral reefs like we saw in the Philippines, so it didn't reach the level of being impressive for us. I think it would have been the same with snuba. (However, there were participants who were amazed, so this is a subjective impression.)

Also, the seawater was quite cold, and we felt very chilly after getting back on the boat, so thick towels and warm clothing are essential.

On a positive note, we finally got to see a sea turtle from the boat towards the end, which was rewarding! It was adorable.

So, for us, the satisfaction level wasn't very high this time, but that doesn't mean the tour itself was bad.

The staff were really kind, cheerful, and cool, and they were considerate of our seasick daughter, which made our experience very pleasant. Other participants also seemed to be having a great time.

If you're not worried about English and seasickness, I think you'll definitely enjoy it!

スヌーバに初挑戦しようと張り切って家族５人で参加しましたが、船がかなり揺れたため、子どもの一人がひどい船酔いになってしまって、結局それどころではありませんでした。

夫も私もある程度の英語はできるし、日本語のガイドさんがいなくても大丈夫かな？と思って参加したのですが、スヌーバの説明やジョークなど、エンジンの音がうるさい船上では全くついていけず後悔しました。

期待したほどに魚影も濃くなく、フィリピンで見た様なサンゴ礁に群がる魚群を想像していた私たちにとっては、感動というレベルではありませんでした。
スヌーバでも、それは同じだったのではないかと思います。
（でも、参加者の中には、スゴイ！と感激している人もいました。これは主観的な感想なので、なんともいえません）

また海水が結構冷たくて、船に上がってからとても寒かったので、厚手のバスタオルや防寒着は必携です。

でも、ウミガメには、終わりがけにやっと船の上から会うことができたので、報われました♪可愛かったです。


今回、そんな訳で、私たちにとってはあまり満足度は高くありませんでしたが、ツアー自体が悪かったわけでは決してありません。

スタッフのみなさんは本当に親切で明るく恰好よく、船酔いした娘にも気遣ってくれたり、とても気持ちよく過ごすことができました。ほかの参加者もみんな楽しそうでした。

英語と船酔いに心配がない方であれば、きっと楽しめると思います！

Traveling by speedboat was refreshing. The snorkeling was amazing, with the water being very clear and transparent. I was so engrossed in watching the fish that I lost track of time. I was thrilled to encounter dolphins. It was adorable to see a mother and baby dolphin surfacing for air at the same time.
Seeing the vastness of the Big Island of Hawaii from the sea made me feel like I was in a foreign land.

高速ボートでの移動は気持ちがよかったです。シュノーケルは水がとても綺麗で透き通っていました。時間を忘れるほど夢中に魚たちを見ていました。イルカにも遭遇して感動しました。親子のイルカが同時に息継ぎをする姿が可愛かったです。
広大なハワイ島を海から見て、外国を感じることができました。

Crew was awesome and the snorkel site was one of the best we've experienced!

It was a wonderful experience. I have been to Hawaii many times, but this tour was truly a pleasant walking experience in the ocean!

とても素敵な体験でした。
ハワイには何度も来ていますが、今回のツアーは本当に気持ちのよい海の中の歩行体験です！！

We participated as a family with our three children, aged 11, 8, and 5.

The snorkeling location was quite deep (over 10-15 meters?), and since our youngest child couldn't swim, we had some concerns. However, they provided children's life jackets, and with the floaties we brought, the kids were able to float and enjoy themselves. The older two were initially scared, but as they got used to it, they enjoyed snorkeling in the clear sea. The staff were also very friendly, and the freshly made hamburgers were delicious. We even got to see dolphins along the way, making it a very satisfying tour overall.

Since the boat ride to the snorkeling location is quite long, it's advisable for those prone to seasickness to take motion sickness medication beforehand (the older child got seasick). If you have small children, bringing floaties would enhance their enjoyment as well.

Despite a few challenges, it was a very enjoyable tour, and I can definitely recommend it for families.

11歳、8歳、5歳の3人の子供と家族で参加しました。

シュノーケリングする場所は結構深く（10～15ｍ以上？）、
下の子供は泳ぐことができない為、多少不安もありましたが、
子供用のライフジャケットも完備されており、持参した浮き輪を使って
ぷかぷかと浮かんで楽しんでいました。
上の２人も最初は怖がっていましたが、慣れてくるとシュノーケルを使って
透き通った海を楽しんでいました。
スタッフの方も非常に親切で、焼き立てのハンバーガも美味しかったです。
途中イルカにも会うことができ、ツアーとしては非常に満足できるものでした。

シュノーケリングする場所まで結構乗船する為、船酔いする方は
酔い止めを必ず飲んでいった方が良いです。（上の子は酔いました）
また小さな子供がいるようであれば、浮き輪も持参した方が楽しめると
思います。

いろいろとありましたが、ツアーとしては非常に楽しめるもので
家族連れの方にも十分おすすめできます。

I couldn't walk on the sandbar because it was submerged in the sea. The water was about waist-deep. Moreover, since it was in the morning, the sea was cold! I went on a snorkeling tour last year, and I thought it would be warmer this time. However, I saw a sea turtle swimming near the boat, and I was able to see it up close while snorkeling, so this tour was great!

サンドバーが海に浸かって砂浜を歩くことはできなかったです。
だいたい腰くらいまでは海に入ってます。
しかも、午前中だったのか海が冷たい!!去年もシュノーケルのツアーに行きましたが、もっと温かいと思ってました。
でも、ウミガメが船の近くを泳いでて、近くで見れたしシューのーケルでもばっちり見えたので、今回のツアーは良かったです!

I cannot begin to express how amazing our Snuba experience was. The instructor was super friendly and you could tell he loved doing what he does. He was more than accommodating to questions and made sure you understood and had a wonderful experience. The dive itself was great. There were so many beautiful creatures to see. The only thing I would change is to have been out there longer! If you are debating on whether to do this or another activity, I would strongly recommend this one over anything else Kauai has to offer!

Fantastic trip, heaps of turtles to look at and even better cocktails after the snorkel. I would recommend this tour to everyone who enjoys to get in the water

Great experience. I was a nervous at first, but when I was under the water, I had a wonder experience.

This time, my 74-year-old mother joined us on the dolphin tour. At the snorkeling point, we were able to see sea turtles up close. There were also plenty of fish. There were two Japanese staff members on board who provided thorough explanations and kind assistance, allowing us to have a very enjoyable time. The lunch was delicious as well. On the way back to the port, we encountered dolphins! The dolphins chased the boat and seemed to be playing while swimming, which was very cute. If given the opportunity, I would definitely like to join this tour again.

今回は７４歳の母も一緒にイルカツアーに参加しました。シュノーケリングポイントではウミガメをとても近くで見ることができました。さかなもいっぱいいました。スタッフも日本人の方が２名乗船しており、丁寧な説明と親切な対応をしていただき、とても楽しい時間を過ごすことが出来ました。ランチもおいしかったです。帰港途中でイルカにも遭遇！イルカがボートを追いかけてきて、遊びながら泳いでいる様で、とてもかわいかったです。機会があれば、是非、また参加したいツアーです。

I participated with my children (ages 13 and 10). Since it was a night activity, I was worried about bringing them along, but there were no issues at all. The size of the manta rays and their impressive presence right in front of us were incredible. We were very excited. The kids were also very satisfied. We would like to participate again next time. However, there is no detailed description of the meeting place (landmarks), so those gathering on-site need to be cautious. A truck towing a boat comes near the public restroom, but the tour name is not displayed, so you have to ask for information yourself. Additionally, while the tour description mentions drinks and snacks, none were provided. This needs to be corrected.

子供（13歳、10歳）を連れて参加しました。夜のアクティビティーだったので、子連れでは心配だったのですが、全く問題ありませんでした。
マンタの大きさと目の前に迫ってくる迫力は凄いの一言。とても興奮しました。
子供達も大満足。また、次回参加したいです。
ただ、集合場所が詳細（目印）の記載がないので、現地集合の人は注意が必要です。
公衆トイレ近くにボートを牽引したトラックが来ますが、ツアーの名称は表記されないので自分から声かけて聞くしか方法がありません。
また、ツアー内容に飲料、軽食の記載がありますが、提供はありませんでした。修正が必要ですね。

I participated on July 27.
The clarity of the water is amazing!
My partner can't swim at all, but it seemed fun just to float and snorkel.

The attentiveness of the Japanese staff was excellent, and I was able to enjoy myself with peace of mind.

At the second spot, we encountered a sea turtle.
Next time, I want to go during whale season.

7/27に参加しました。
何と言っても水の透明度がすごい！
相方は全く泳げませんが、
プカプカ浮いてシュノーケルするだけでも楽しそうでした。

日本人スタッフの気遣いがとてもよく、安心して楽しめました。

２か所目のポイントではウミガメにも遭遇しました。
次回はクジラの季節に行きたいと思います。

I was looking forward to participating in this tour on my first trip to Hawaii. However, I wasn't confident in my swimming skills, and when it came time to go snorkeling in deep water, I got scared and decided to stay close to the boat.

It was a bit lonely not being able to go with everyone, but I played with the sea turtles and thought that was a wonderful moment while I waited for everyone to return.

At that time, the captain asked me, "Why aren't you going?" When I replied, "Because I'm scared," he brought me a swim board and told me to hold onto it. Then, incredibly, he personally guided me to where everyone else was by pulling me along.

Thanks to him, I was able to see the coral reefs and the fish swimming around, and I was deeply moved! It became an unforgettable experience due to the captain's kind consideration.

初ハワイでこのツアーに参加することを楽しみにしていました。けれども泳ぎに自信がなく、いざシュノーケリングで足のつかない所に行くとなると怖気づいてしまい、ボートの近くで居残ることに。

みんなと一緒にいけないのはちょっぴりさみしいけど、ウミガメちゃんと戯れたりしていて、それもまた素敵なひとときと思って、みなが戻ってくるのを待っていました。

そのときキャプテンが「どうして行かないの？」と声をかけてくれたので、「こわいから」と答えたところ、スイムボードを持ってきてくれてそれに手をかけるよう言われました。それからなんとそれをキャプテン自ら引っぱってく皆がいるところまでガイドしてくれたのでした。

おかげでサンゴ礁や泳ぎ回る魚たちも見ることができ、大感激！　キャプテンの親切な心くばりにより忘れられない体験となりました。

On this day, there were many participants, and three boats set out. After the boats departed, we first went to see sea turtles in the offshore waters, and if we were lucky, we might encounter manta rays. After that, we headed to the sandbar, but since I didn't plan to go snorkeling and just wanted to walk on the sandbar, I didn't bring my swimsuit, so I got wet up to my thighs during the 10 to 20 meters to the sandbar. It dries quickly, so it might not be necessary, but it's better to bring a swimsuit. After arriving at the sandbar, those who want to snorkel will do so in the outer sea, but it's also fine to stay on the sandbar. The morning tour is short, so even if you walk on the sandbar for a little while, it goes by quickly, and I recommend that. The scenery was amazing.

この日は参加者が多く船が3船でていました。　船が出発して、沖合の海でウミガメをまず見に行きますが、運が良ければマンタと出会えるそうです。その後、サンドバーに向かいますが、シュノーケリングをするつもりもなく、ただサンドバーを歩きたかったので水着は持って行きませんでしたのでサンドバーまでの10~20ｍの距離は股下まで濡れました。すぐ乾くので無くてもいいかも知れませんが、水着は持っていったほうがいいですね、サンドバーに到着後、シュノーケリングをする人はサンドバーの外側の海でやりますが、サンドバーに残っていてもOKです　午前のツアーは短いのでサンドバーを時間ない歩いてもアッと言うまなので私はそちらをお勧めします。　景色は最高でした。

I participated with my husband and our 9-year-old daughter. Since my husband speaks English, we decided on this affordable tour, but I think it’s fine even if you can’t speak difficult English, especially if you have snorkeling experience. However, we had to move to the port by ourselves from the tour reception desk.

My daughter, who gets motion sickness easily, took some anti-nausea medication beforehand, and thankfully, she didn’t get seasick. However, it was quite cold floating in the night sea (we participated in August). Even though she wore a long rash guard top and bottom, after floating for nearly 20 minutes and only seeing one manta ray in the distance, she started saying, “I’m cold; I want to get out!” While I was trying to calm her down, a group of five giant manta rays appeared! We forgot about the cold and were just captivated. It felt like we were floating in space. They swirled around us within reach. The staff were friendly and fun, and we had a wonderful experience unique to the Big Island of Hawaii.

夫と９歳の娘と３人で参加しました。夫が英語を話せるので、安いこちらのツアーに決めましたが、シュノーケル経験者の方なら特に難しい英語が話せなくても大丈夫だと思います。ただしツアー受付デスクからは自分達で港まで移動しなければいけません。
酔いやすい娘は、事前に酔い止めを飲ませまた効果か、船酔いはしませんでしたが、とにかく夜の海にずっと浮いてるために冷えます。（８月の参加で）上下ロングラッシュガードを着込んだにもかかわらず、20分近く浮いて、まだ１匹遠くにマンタを見ただけで、「寒くてもうあがりたい〜」と言い出す始末・・・。なんとかなだめていると、そこへ５匹の巨大マンタの群れが〜！！寒さも忘れてただただ見入ってしまいました。まるで宇宙に浮いてる感じです。クルクルと手の届くような位置で回ってくれました。スタッフも気さくで楽しくて、ハワイ島ならではのとてもいい経験が出来ました。

We actually are a family with kids in their 20s but no option for that. We had a wonderful time. the weather was perfect and the water conditions were pretty clear. The turtles were magnificent but there was other wildlife as well--Spinner dolphins, Flying fish, etc. The cruise after the snorkeling was equally as fun. Our captain also had a great choice of music playing. The time went so fast--took the morning cruise which still left us the rest of the day for the beach. Would recommend this to anyone. My only precaution--if you have a anyone in your party with issues of climbing or would not be comfortable walking or sitting on the net of the catamaran you may not enjoy this. We loved it!

Recently, my mother, younger brother, and I (in our 20s) participated in this activity.

It was great to see the views of Waikiki while sailing. However, when we arrived at the snorkeling spot, the water was quite deep, and my mother and I felt very scared as soon as we entered the water. We ended up getting back on the boat in less than a minute. My brother, who has diving experience, enjoyed it until the end.

I thought I was prepared based on the experiences I read about, but I was surprised that the snorkeling was in a very deep area rather than a shallow one, and I questioned whether it was appropriate to only have a floatation device at that depth. There was no practice with life jackets or snorkeling, so it might be difficult for those who are trying it for the first time and are not familiar with the sensation. As a snorkeling beginner, I regretted not choosing a safer tour since it was a special trip. I also regret that I caused my mother to feel fear.

If you want to participate but are not confident in your swimming skills, I think you should consider this carefully. The ocean was very beautiful, so it might be a good option for those who just want to enjoy sailing.

先日、母・弟・私（20代）の3人で参加しました。

セーリングでワイキキの景色を見れるのはとても良かったです。
ですが、シュノーケルの場所まで到着した際はかなり水深があり　母と私は海に入った瞬間とても怖くなりました。。（1分も経たずに船へ上がってしまいました＞＜）弟はダイビング経験がある為　最後まで楽しんでいましたが。

体験談を参考に参加したつもりでしたが、浅瀬の方ではなくかなり深い場所でのシュノーケルだったことやあの深さで浮き棒しかないのはどうかと思いました。。ライフジャケット、シュノーケルの練習等は無しでいきなり始まりますので　初めてで感覚が掴めない方には難しいかもしれません。シュノーケル初心者だからこそ、せっかくの旅行ですので、安全なツアーに参加すればよかったと思いました。母にも恐怖心を与えてしまったのも後悔です。。

もし泳ぎに自信がないけど参加したい、という方は考慮したほうが良いと思います。海はとってもきれいだったので、セーリングだけたのしみたい方にはいいかもしれません。

My husband and I took this trip while on our honeymoon. We had a fantastic time and would highly recommend this trip to anyone! All equipment was provided as well as breakfast and lunch (great food!). The water was crystal clear and we were able to see turtles, just as promised. All of the crew were very friendly and helpful. Overall, great experience!

On the boat, they ask for your fin size and provide you with the appropriate ones. They also have snorkeling gear available. They lend you a type of life jacket that wraps around your waist (suitable for both children and adults), so you don’t need to bring your own goggles.

It takes about an hour to reach Cook's Tower by boat, and even though our family took motion sickness medication, we felt a bit queasy. The BBQ cheeseburgers were incredibly delicious, just as mentioned in other reviews! The breakfast muffins were tasty, reminiscent of Costco's.

This was my family's first time participating after visiting the Big Island six times, and we were more satisfied than with any other tour. The beauty of the ocean was amazing.

船の上で、フィンのサイズを聞いて、サイズにあったものを貸してくれます。シュノーケリング道具も。
浮き輪も腰に巻くタイプの（子供から大人まで）ライフジャケット（？）浮きを貸してくれるので、ゴーグルなどの持参も必要ないです。
クックの塔まで１時間くらい船に揺られるので、私たち家族は（酔い止め薬を飲んでいても）少し酔いました。
ＢＢＱのチーズバーガーは他の書き込み通り、とっても美味しかったです！朝食のマフィンはコストコのかな？って感じで美味しかったです。
６度目のハワイ島で、初参加でしたがどの観光よりも満足で、海の綺麗さが素晴らしかったです。

I used this service on August 3rd for my honeymoon. While I was excited to swim with the dolphins, I also had some fear about the ocean. Thanks to the thorough explanations about ocean safety and how to enjoy it, I was able to overcome my fears and have a great time! On the way to meet the dolphins, I also encountered manta rays, and I was able to see over 200 dolphins! It was truly exhilarating! Thank you for the wonderful memories! I will definitely participate again! *\(^o^)/*

ハネムーンで8/3に利用させて頂きました。
海のイルカと泳ぐのが楽しみな反面、海に対して少し怖い気持ちもあった私に、しっかりと海の安全性や楽しみ方を教えてくださったおかげで、恐怖心から克服出来、楽しむことが出来ました!!
イルカに会いに行く途中、マンタとも会うことが出来、目的のイルカには200頭以上に合うことが出来ました!!本当に大興奮!!楽しい思い出をありがとうございました！また絶対参加します*\(^o^)/*

The day I participated was cloudy, with occasional rain, making it a bit chilly to enter the sea. I went to the meeting place, but there were no signs and no one who looked like they were part of the group... I felt anxious. Eventually, some people who seemed to be participants began to gather, and after some time, a person holding a sign arrived. I felt relieved... The guide spoke in English, so it might be difficult for those who are completely new to snorkeling. However, if you watch the movements of the people around you, you'll be fine. The sea turtles and fish were very beautiful! For those who are not good with the cold, it would be better on a hot day, but the wind from sailing after getting out of the sea can be chilly. I think it's a good idea to prepare long sleeves or a hoodie. If you are prone to seasickness or cannot swim, it might be better to avoid this activity.

参加した日は曇り空で、時々雨も降り、海に入るには少し肌寒い日でした。集合場所に行ったものの、看板もなく、それらしい人もいない…不安。そのうち参加者らしい人たちが集まり始め、その人たちと一緒にいると、時間を過ぎてから看板を持った人がやってきました。ホッとした…。ガイドは英語なので、シュノーケリングが全く初めての人には分かりにくいかも。でも周りの人たちの動きを見ていれば、大丈夫です。ウミガメ、魚たち、とてもきれいでした♪寒いのが苦手な方、暑い日なら良いのですが、海から上がった後のセーリングの風は体が冷えます。長袖やパーカーを用意しておくと良いと思います。船酔いしやすい方、泳げない方は避けたほうがいいかな。
