All Reviews for Snorkeling Cruises & Tours

One of the places I absolutely wanted to visit when I went to Hawaii after seeing photos in a travel magazine. It was truly beautiful and I was deeply moved. It seems to be one of the world's top power spots, and I was able to relax completely. I even got to meet a lucky sea turtle, so I’m sure many good things are waiting for me when I return to Japan (laughs).

As for snorkeling, only my friends participated while I watched from the boat, but it seemed there weren't as many fish as I had expected. It appears that it is greatly affected by the climate and weather.

Since it mentioned "change of clothes" in the items to bring, I brought extra clothes and underwear to participate, but I was told it was fine to ride the return bus in my wet swimsuit, so I just laid a beach towel down and got on. There wasn't even time to change, and it seemed everyone else got on the bus as they were, so it looked like it wasn't necessary to bring a change of clothes for the return trip to keep our luggage light.

旅行雑誌の写真を見てハワイへ行ったら絶対行きたかったところの一つでした。本当に綺麗で感激でしたよ。世界有数のパワースポットでもあるらしく、心底リラックスできました。幸運を呼ぶ海がめちゃんにも会うことができましたので日本に帰ってきてからきっと良いことがたくさん待ってるはずです（笑）
シュノーケルは友人だけの参加で私は船の上で眺めていましたが、あまり期待していたよりはお魚はいなかったようです。やはり、気候や天候に大きく左右されるようですね。
持ち物に「着替え」と書いてあったので着替えの洋服や下着なども持って参加したのですが、帰りのバスは濡れた水着のまま乗って大丈夫ですとゆうことだったので、そのままバスタオルを敷いて乗りました。着替の時間も無かったですし、皆さんそのままバスに乗られていたようなので、荷物を少なくするためにも帰りの着替えは持たなくてよさそうでした。

The crews were very attentive, and the captain was awesome! A group of 4 of us went, and everyone had a great time. I would totally do this again! Thanks for the good time. Oh, and HawaiiActivities called me on the day before to remind me. Such a good service. Thank you!

My girlfriend and I went on your dolphin adventure today on the Kai 'Oli'Oli and we had an amazing time! The sites and food were superb and the staff was very pleasant. The two instructors and or hosts Yoko and Pat did a spectacular job making you feel like you were at home. We will recommend this to all of our friends in Philadelphia when they come to visit.

It was my first time to snorkel and I was a little nervous but the staff helped me and my experience was amazing. They went to great lengths to see that my experience was a good one.

Our Helicopter ride over the Big Island was the highlight of our trip. Seeing lava so close was once in a life time! Joel our pilot was awsome and had a great knowledge of the island. He put us at ease with his profesionalism and personality. What a great time!

This was an activity I had wanted to experience for the past two or three years, and I finally got to fulfill my wish.

I wanted to see the scene of lava flowing into the sea, but since it's a natural phenomenon, it can't be helped.

The helicopter noise I had imagined was not bothersome, so it was an enjoyable experience.

２,３年前から一度体験したかったアクティビティでしたがやっと念願かないました。

溶岩が海に流れ落ちる場面を見たかったですが、自然現象なのでやむを得ないですね。

想像をしていたヘリの騒音は気にならなかったので楽しい体験でした。

On October 26, my wife and I participated together. After deciding to go to Maui, snorkeling at Molokini was the first thing we planned, and our expectations were quite high. However, the clarity of the water did not disappoint, and both my wife and I were very satisfied. There seemed to be slightly fewer fish, but that might depend on the season. We also added a snorkeling experience with snuba for an extra fee, which I highly recommend. We were allowed to do it for quite a long time, and we could even take photos and videos with our own underwater camera. Both my wife and I had experience with introductory diving, but the Japanese instructor provided detailed guidance, so even beginners should have no problem. It was so much fun that I became even more eager to obtain a diving license. Moving from Molokini to observe honu (turtles) while snorkeling was truly moving for me as a turtle lover. Since we could return to the hotel by early afternoon, I think it will be a fulfilling day with plenty of time left in the afternoon!

10月26日に嫁と二人で参加しました。マウイ島に行くと決めてから、モロキニ島シュノーケリングはまず最初に決めていたし、かなり期待値は高かったのですが、期待を裏切らない透明度で私も嫁も大満足でした。魚が若干少ない気もしましたが季節にもよるのかもしれません。それからスヌーバを追加料金で体験したのですが、これはぜひお勧めです。結構長い時間やらせてもらえたし、自分で持ち込んだ水中カメラやビデオでを撮影してもらえたりしました。私も嫁も体験ダイビングの経験があったのですが日本人のインストラクターが細かく教えてくれるので初心者の方でも問題ありません。とても楽しくて、ダイビングのライセンスを益々取得したくなりました。モロキニから移動してのホヌ（カメ）観察シュノーケリングもホヌ好きの私としては何とも感動的でした。昼過ぎにはホテルに戻れるので、午後もたっぷり使えて充実した一日になると思いますよ！

The helicopter was safer and more comfortable than I expected. It was fine even with a little wind.

The staff's service was very kind, allowing me to enjoy the experience with peace of mind.

Throughout the journey, there was a detailed explanation by the pilot, Jason, but unfortunately, it was only in English, and I could only understand parts of it. Since conversations could only be done through the microphone, even if I said, "Wow, the volcano is amazing," the person next to me couldn't hear it.

That aside, the scenery was magnificent, dynamic, and beautiful. You can see the main points of the Big Island in about two hours, so even if you don't fully understand the explanations, I think it's a very worthwhile attraction.

　
　へりは思ったより安全で、快適でした。ちょっとくらい風が吹いても大丈夫。

　スタッフのサービスはとても親切で、安心して楽しむ事ができました。

　全行程でパイロットのジェイソンさんによる丁寧な解説がありましたが、残念ながら英語のみで私は部分的に分かる程度でした。マイクを通してしか会話ができないので、「わ~火山がすごいね~」とか言っても、隣の人に聞こえないのでした。

　そんなことはさておき、風景は壮大で、躍動的で、美しいハワイ島の主要なポイントを約２時間で見れるため、解説があまり分からなくても、参加する価値がある、とてもいいアトラクションだと思いました。
　

This was a fantastic experience and very unique. Never expected the manta rays to come soo close. Hope my pics come out. Will definitely do again when I come back to the Big Island. Highly recommend for everyone, was a very easy snorkel and NOT scary at all.

This time, I participated in Dolphin & You for the first time. The weather was decent, and after setting sail, I was able to see turtles and flying fish, but unfortunately, I didn't get to see any dolphins. Since they are wild dolphins, I understand that this can happen. However, the staff's bright smiles and their efforts to create a lively atmosphere made the experience enjoyable, even though it was disappointing not to see dolphins. I left the boat vowing to try again next time. Next year, I will definitely see dolphins! I’m looking forward to my next trip to Hawaii even more.

今回、初めてドルフィン＆ユーに参加しました。
お天気もまあまあで、出航後カメや飛び魚には逢えましたが・・・残念ながらドルフィンには逢えませんでした。
野生のドルフィンですので、こんなこともあるかなとは思います。
しかし、スタッフの明るい笑顔や場を盛り上げる対応で、ドルフィンに逢えなかったことはすごく残念でしたが、楽しいひと時を過ごすことが出来ました。
次回、リベンジを誓い船を後にしました。
来年は絶対！ドルフィンに逢えますように!!!
また、ハワイに行く楽しみが増えました。

We participated with our family on October 9. The sea in Hawaii Island is more beautiful than that of Oahu, and it's even more stunning than the White Sands and Keauhou in Hawaii Island, making it impossible not to get in. The boat is a catamaran, so there’s no rocking, and the kids jumped in dozens of times from the slide and diving board. It was also great to have fresh water showers available. The location is just a three-minute walk from the Sheraton where we were staying. I highly recommend it.

１０／０９に家族で参加してきました。
ハワイ島の海はオアフ島より綺麗なのですが、ハワイ島のホワイト・サンドやケアウホウよりも更に綺麗な海で、入らずにはいられません。船もカタマランなので揺れることも無く、滑り台やジャンプ台など、子供たちは何十回と飛び込んでいましたし、真水のシャワーがあるのもよかっです。
場所はシェラトンに宿泊していたので、歩いて３分といったところです。お薦めします。

This was probably my favorite thing I did in Hawaii. I was scared at first and made them bring me up, but I tried again and had to close my eyes as I was being lowered in the water. It was awesome once you got under water and could see all the fish. We got to feed them bread. We even saw a huge sea turtle while we were under there. It was the most unique thing I had ever done and would love to do it again. It's definitely something everyone should try and do while they're there.

If you like snorkelling mixed with a little history, this trip is a must. We have snorkelled all over Hawaii and this is as good as it gets. The water is crystal clear, the coral is beautiful, and the fish, turtles, and spinner dolphins just complete a perfect day! Captain Ken tells you all about the monument and the events that led to Captain Cook's demise. As we arrived at Captain Cook, we found ourselves in the middle of a pod of well over 150 spinner dolphins who were playing in the area that day. They remained there the entire day! And on the ride home, we had a lot of fun mixed with several stops at caves or other points of interest where Ken would tell you the 'story' or explain the legend! This was just a great trip to a beautiful location. We will do it again the next time we am on the Big Island!

My wife and I had a great time on the boat, the
Captain was very good at knowing the laws governing the missle base, he slowed going up the coast after hearing over the radio they were going to launch a missle. He and the crew kept a sharp eye on the surface for any ocean activity that he could get close to while we slowed, when we got past the site he showed us some incredible scenery on the Na pali shore, my wife and I thought it was the most beautiful area we have ever seen. The snorkeling part was the only draw back, it just seemed like we were the ten thousand and one boat load of people to visit that spot. The water was nice but it was just a time killer. Overall it was worth the money and the time, The Captain and Crew did a great job, it was well worth the trip.
Sorry have not downloaded any pictures yet.

My spouse and I participated in this tour. When I asked my wife, "What do you want to do in Hawaii?" she replied, "I want to see dolphins!! I want to see sea turtles (honu)!!" So, we signed up for this tour.

My wife, who gets seasick easily, seemed a bit anxious, but we brought motion sickness medication from Japan, and once she took it, she was totally fine. (Even if you forget, no worries! Motion sickness medication is sold at the shop in Ko Olina Marina.) Within 30 minutes of leaving the marina, we encountered dolphins! It was so healing. The dolphins, curious about everything, quickly approached us, jumping around and showing various expressions.

Next, we snorkeled and met honu and various colorful tropical fish... Four honu swam gracefully by. The fish came so close that we could almost touch them. I recommend bringing a waterproof camera.

After that, it was snack time. Everyone enjoyed their meals on the deck or wherever they liked. The kalua pig was delicious.

The boat had a cabin, making it very comfortable! It also had a restroom, which was very reassuring. I had previously gone on another tour to see dolphins, and I remembered feeling cold when coming out of the water due to the sea breeze. However, I didn't feel too cold inside the cabin, but I recommend bringing a long-sleeve shirt just in case.

It was a blissful time for my wife and me that flew by. I want to see dolphins again...

夫婦で参加させていただきました。家内に「ハワイで何したい？」と聞いたところ、「イルカに会いたい！！ウミガメ（ホヌ）に会いたい！！」との返事で、このツアーに申し込みました。
船酔いのひどい家内は多少不安だったみたいですが、日本から酔い止め薬を持参し、薬を飲めば、全然大丈夫でした。（忘れても大丈夫！！コオリナマリーナの売店で酔い止め薬を売ってますよ）マリーナを出て、30分もしないうちにイルカとご対面！！いや~、癒されます。いろんなものに興味津々のイルカたちはすぐに近寄って来てくれて、飛び跳ねたり、いろんな表情を見せてくれました。
イルカの次はシュノーケルでホヌやいろんな色の熱帯魚とご対面。。。優雅に4匹のホヌが泳いでました。手に取れるくらい魚たちが近寄ってきてくれました。防水カメラを持って行かれることをおすすめします。
その後、軽食の時間。船の甲板や思い思いの場所でみなさん、食事されてました。カルアピックがうまかったです。
船はキャビン付きの船なので、すごく快適！！トイレも付いてるのですごく安心。以前、別のツアーでイルカを見に行ったことがあったのですが、その時は海から上がると海風が冷たく感じ、寒い思いをしたことがあったのですが、キャビン内にいるとあまり寒さを感じませんでしたが、長袖一枚もって行かれることをおすすめします。
あっという間のうちら夫婦にとって至福の時間でした。
また、イルカに会いたいなぁ~。。。

This was my second time in Hawaii, and I participated in snorkeling at Kealakekua Bay. Unfortunately, the weather was unusually cloudy for Hawaii that day. I was worried about whether I would be able to enjoy the beautiful sea, but I was able to enjoy it nonetheless.

By the way, I tend to get very seasick, and that was my only concern, but I managed to get through the trip without any seasickness.

I have participated in snorkeling several times in Japan and Hawaii, but this was the most beautiful and enjoyable experience. Since it was a memorable trip, I’m glad I was able to create good memories. I definitely want to participate again next time.

　今回2回目のハワイで、ケアラケクワ湾の主ノーケリングに参加しました。残念ながら当日はハワイでは非常にめずらしい曇り空でした。当日は曇りで、きれいな海が見られるのか心配でしたがきれいな海を楽しむ事ができました。
　ちなみに私は非常に乗り物酔いがはげしく唯一それが心配でしが、船酔いもなく無事に過ごすことができました。
　今まで何度か日本国内やハワイでのシュノーケリングに参加したことがありましたが今回が一番きれいで楽しめました。記念の旅行だったので良い思い出ができよかったです。
是非、次の機会にも参加したいと思います。

WE want you to know that we Thnak you for making our reservations, We had the greatest time on our Dolhpin expeience and we will go on the Cat Olina a again sometime.

Unfortunately, the day of the tour was cloudy and a bit cold, but thanks to the beautiful sea and the cheerful staff, I was able to enjoy myself very much. I was also able to see sea turtles, which made for a great experience. I definitely want to participate again next time.

　あいにくツアーの日は曇りで少し寒かったのですが、
キレイな海と明るいスタッフの人達のおかげでとても楽しむ事ができました。
ウミガメも見ることができたし、いい経験になりました。
また、次の機会にも是非参加したいと思います。

This is great for people who have never scuba dived before. It is a great initial experience to being under the water. Had lots of fun!

I was one of the unlucky guests who experienced sea sickness. Looking back I think I could have avoided this unfortunate condition if I had consumed more water before and during the tour. I think a motion sickness medicine would have been good for me as well. I haven't had a lot of experience with boat tours, so I wasn't sure what to expect. I will next time. Even though I was sick during half of this tour I would still recommend it. The captain and crew were awesome! They were very attentive and provided a lot of information about the Na Pali coast, which is remote and beautiful. They went out of there way to make sure everyone had what they needed to have a great time. Actually, the next time I'm in Kauai I would try this tour again with the precautions I mentioned earlier. I would highly recommend this tour.

Had an absolute BLAST!! The crew was great and very entertaining. They were really helpful to first time snorkelers and were very welcoming. We truly enjoyed every moment (except for the brief heavy rain).
Since we were not staying in Waikiki, we drove ourselves and had a little trouble finding the place, but called and got more detailed directions and still made it in plenty of time.

We would highly recommend this adventure to everyone. The guide was awesome and made the experience just wonderful. We had a group of 8 which was really nice.

I went to Hawaii for the first time. I was really interested in the sandbar, so I participated in this option. It was even more beautiful and wonderful than I had seen in photos. It felt great, and I’m really glad I joined. However, there weren't many fish, so it might have been more fun if there were more fish around. Also, the time spent in the ocean was a bit short, so I would have appreciated a longer duration. The staff, including a Japanese person, provided thorough explanations from start to finish, which made me feel reassured. I highly recommend it.

初めてハワイに行きました。サンドバーがすごく気になっていたので、このオプションに参加しました。
写真で見てた以上に綺麗で素敵でした。気持ち良くて参加してみてすごく良かったです。
ただ、魚がほとんどいなかったので、魚がたくさんいる所だともっと楽しかったかもしれないです。あと、海にいる時間が少し短かったので、もう少し長いと嬉しかったです。
スタッフも日本人の方が最初から最後まで丁寧に説明などしてくれたので、安心だと思います。
すごくお勧めです。

I was able to see dolphins and sea turtles, making for a very satisfying tour. The sky, the sea, and the greenery were all beautiful, and I took a lot of photos. During snorkeling, I got a bit seasick and felt a little unwell, but it was an emotional experience throughout. The breakfast was also very delicious, and if I hadn't been feeling sick, I could have eaten as much as I wanted.

イルカにも会え、海がめにも会え、かなり満足なツアーとなりました。
空を海と緑、全てが美しくシャッターを切りまくりました。
シュノーケリンングでは、波酔いしてしまい、少し気分が悪くなってしまいましたがとにかく感動の連続でした。
朝食も大変美味しく、酔ってなかったらいくらでも食べれそうでした。

On September 22, I participated in an early morning cruise with friends.

About 30 minutes after boarding the ship, we spotted a pod of dolphins! At first, they swam a little distance away, but gradually they came closer to the boat, and to our surprise, one dolphin swam alongside the bow of the ship! We were thrilled to see the lively dolphins up close from right above the bow. We were able to watch them for quite a while. We even managed to capture on video a dolphin jumping while spinning, which made us very satisfied. Ah, dolphins are such beautiful creatures! They are so healing!

Just as we were basking in that excitement, we moved to a different location for snorkeling. Unfortunately, I couldn't see any sea turtles underwater, but I was surrounded by tropical fish, which was also very soothing. Swimming in the clear ocean felt amazing. After snorkeling, it was time for the much-anticipated lunch. The kalua pig was delicious! I couldn't help but go back for seconds.

The ship was spacious and clean, equipped with restrooms, and thankfully, there were hot water showers available. (It felt really nice after snorkeling since my body was cold.) The guide, who spoke Japanese almost perfectly, provided very thorough explanations, which was great. If I come to Hawaii again, I definitely want to participate once more. Next time, I’ll go for the deluxe option!

9月22日、早起きクルーズに友達と参加しました。

船に乗ってから30分くらいたったでしょうか、いました！イルカの群れ！
最初は少し離れたところを泳いでいましたが、だんだんと船に近づいてきて、
なんと船首の先をイルカが船に寄り添うように泳いでくれました！
私達は船首の真上から、その生き生きとしたイルカの姿を間近で見れて大感激でした。
結構長いこと見れました。
無事、スピンしながらジャンプするイルカもビデオにおさめることができて大満足。
あ~イルカってなんて美しい動物なんでしょう！癒されます！

そんな感動もつかの間、今度は場所を移してシュノーケルです。
私は残念ながら水中で海がめを見ることはできませんでしたが、熱帯魚の群れに囲まれてまた癒されました。
透明度の高い海の中を泳ぐのはとっても気持ちが良かったです。
シュノーケルの後は、お待ちかねのランチです。カルアピッグ、おいしかったです！
思わずおかわりをしてしまいました。

船内は広くて清潔で、トイレ完備、ありがたいことに温水シャワーも出ます。
（シュノーケル後は体が冷えているのでとても気持ちよかったです。）
日本語をほぼ完璧に話すガイドさんの丁寧な説明もとても良かったです。
ハワイに来たら、またぜひ参加したいと思います。今度はデラックスで！

At first, I was worried about getting seasick or whether I could really see wild dolphins so easily. However, the boat was very comfortable, and no one got seasick. Luckily, we saw a lot of dolphins, including two different species, and I was completely satisfied.

We first spotted a mother dolphin swimming happily with her baby. They were so adorable. Next, we encountered a group of dolphins (about 6 to 7). They were all very active, jumping around, and it felt like we were watching a dolphin show.

After that, we went to a snorkeling spot where we saw three turtles, colorful fish, and coral. It felt more like diving than snorkeling. The turtles were quite large and impressive.

After snorkeling, we enjoyed warm coffee, bread, pork, vegetables, and yogurt. It was very delicious after swimming. During our trip, we had a Japanese guide, which made us feel at ease. The weather was cloudy, so it was quite cold after snorkeling. I thought long sleeves would be necessary. In any case, it became a wonderful memory, and I would definitely like to participate again!

最初は、船に酔わないかな？とか、野生のイルカなんてそんなに簡単に見れるのかな？なんて不安もあったのですが、まず船はとっても乗り心地が良く、誰も酔ってる人なんていなかったし、ラッキーにも、イルカはたくさん（しかも２種類も）見れて、もう大満足でした。

イルカは、まずお母さんと赤ちゃんが一緒に仲良く泳いでいるのを発見。とても可愛いらしかったです。次にグループ（６~７頭）のイルカ達に会えました。みんなとっても活発に泳いでいて、ジャンプもしてくれて、まるでイルカショーを見ている感じでした。

その後、シュノーケルスポットに行って、亀は３匹、色とりどりのお魚達に、珊瑚も見れて、シュノーケルと言うよりもダイビングをしたような気分に浸れました。亀もかなり大きい亀達で迫力満点でした。

シュノーケルが終わってから、暖かいコーヒーとパンと豚肉と野菜とヨーグルトを頂きました。一泳ぎの後で、とても美味しかったです。私達の時は、日本人のガイドさんがいたので、安心しました。お天気は曇りだったので、やはりシュノーケル後はかなり寒かったです。長袖は必要かなと思いました。ともかく素晴らしい思い出になりました。また是非参加したいです！

I participated on September 16. The weather was clear, and the waves were calm, making it a perfect day for cruising. Although I was worried about seasickness, sitting at the front of the boat on the net, feeling the wind and waves, made those worries disappear.

When the captain guided us to a pod of spinner dolphins, I was even more excited! The staff explained that the name "spinner" comes from their jumping spins. Although I couldn't capture the dolphins jumping repeatedly on camera, their images are etched in my memory. During snorkeling at a different location, I was able to see tropical fish and sea turtles. The staff, who were fluent in Japanese, were very considerate and made the experience even more enjoyable.

If I had to mention one downside, it would be that the waiting time for the bus transfer and cruising was a bit long, which felt somewhat inefficient.

9月16日に参加しました。当日は快晴、波もおだやかで、絶好のクルージング日和でした。船酔いを心配していたものの、船の先頭のネットの上に座り込み、風と波を受けながら進めば、そんな心配も吹き飛びました。
船長の案内で、ハシナガイルカの群れを見つけたときは、更に大興奮！英語でスピナーと呼ばれる由来が、スピンしながらのジャンプだとスタッフが教えてくれました。私達に見せてくれるかのように、何度も何度もジャンプしてくれるイルカの姿はカメラに収めることは出来ませんでしたが、目に焼きついています。場所を移してのシュノーケリングでは、熱帯魚と海がめを見ることができました。日本語堪能なスタッフが色々気遣ってくれ、また、盛り上げてくれ、本当に楽しいツアーでした。
一つだけ難点を挙げるとすれば、バスでの送迎とクルージングとの待ち時間が長く、少し非効率だと思いました。

I was filled with excitement!

As for the experience, after setting sail, we were hurried into the sea with "Hurry, hurry!!"
The local staff guided us with "Right! Left! Down!" and when we looked in those directions, there were so many dolphins!
When the dolphins swam away, we got back on the boat and moved to another spot. (This time we went into the sea three times.)
We then moved to the next spot.
We swam with fish and sea turtles. It was a canoe experience.
After about 40 minutes of fun, we docked while eating cheeseburgers.
On land, we had a hula experience for about 30 minutes.

The water clarity wasn't very high, but there were so many dolphins right in front of us, almost like a video!
I could hear the dolphins communicating!
Dolphins jumped right in front of us!

I was lucky enough to see two sea turtles up close, within touching distance!

I don't think the price was high considering the experience.
All the staff were kind, the driving was safe, and I was able to sleep well on the way back. I felt fulfilled and would love to participate again!
I want to take my future children along someday!
I highly recommend this to everyone!

ワクワクしっぱなしでした☆

Very fun activity when water is clear and the sun is shining :)

This was an excellent adventure. A little more about the type of "cruise" would have been helpful on the internet and booking information.
