All Reviews for Snorkeling Cruises & Tours

The meeting place was within a hotel in Waikiki, which was very accessible. I joined thinking it would be nice to meet them, but I was incredibly moved to see multiple honu (sea turtles) right in front of me! After snorkeling, during the cruising, I was a bit worried because my family got seasick, but it felt really nice to sail while enjoying the view of the hotels in Waikiki and Diamond Head with the wind in our faces. Also, the captain, crew, and instructor were really cool.

集合場所がワイキキのホテルの中でアクセスがよかったです。
本当に会えたらいいなーぐらいに思って参加したのですが、何匹も、しかも目の前でホヌさん（ウミガメ）に会えて、大感動でした！
シュノーケリング後のクルージングでは、ちょっと家族が船酔いしちゃって心配でしたが、ワイキキのホテル群やダイヤモンドヘッドを見ながら、風を切って航行するのは本当に気持ちよかったです。
あと、キャプテンとクルー、インストラクターがめっちゃかっこよかったです。

I was picked up from the hotel, and it took about an hour to get to the port, but being on the boat was amazing! The weather was bad, so we couldn't see the sandbar, but the delicious hamburgers and the abundance of sea turtles and tropical fish were so incredible that my child hesitated to swim. ✨ The tour guides were friendly, attentive, and all very nice. It was my first trip to Hawaii, and I'm glad we booked the tour. I hope we can see the sandbar next time!

ホテルに迎えに来てもらって港までの1時間かかったけど、船の上は最高でした！天気が悪くサンドバー見れなかったけど、美味しいハンバーガーとたくさんのウミガメ、熱帯魚がいっぱいすぎて子供が泳ぐのを躊躇してしまったほど海は素晴らしかったです✨
ツアーガイドの人も気さくで、よく気が付く、良い方ばかりでした
初めてのハワイ旅行だったのですがツアーを組んでよかったねです
次回はサンドバーが見れますように！

My husband and I had such a wonderful time on this trip. The crew was wonderful, helpful, generous and informative. Snorkeling at Molokini is an experience everyone who snorkels should experience. The water is so clear you see every little crevice, coral, creatures and color of every fish is AMAZING!!!! Also returning to snorkel at turtle town and then breaking out the sails on the catamaran just added to an already unforgettable experience. Go on this trip and experience a very special Maui area. Share this with your family - It will be something special you did together forever.

Everyone should consider going on this trip. It's a lovely trip on a large boat with a crew and captain who really love what they do and love Maui and everything there is there. Maui is magical and having the opportunity to share it with people who truly care about it is such a fantastic experience. Do it!! You will not regret it :)

This was an amazing adventure for us. Something we would absolutely do again. I would recommend this company over and over again. I love the fact they are natives and a small family owed business . Always support local when I can, over big corporate companies. In doing my research, there is no difference between cage or cage less. The water was beautiful, clear and relatively calm.

Best time on island when we are here. Highly recommended. The crew is friendly and safety is readily apparent. Shy is a great captain and knows her stuff! The hospitality and food are above reproach. Value throughout the trip and worth every bit. Nothing short of spectacular and the opportunity to see Sea Turtles, fish of different species, and Rays. Best value we have found near the North Shore.

What a great way to see the Napali coast!

Our captain and crew were incredible. The captain is a highly skilled driver, maneuvering our 39 ft boat into caves. The best part of the tour.

Snorkeling, seeing dolphins…what a great day!

Highly recommend. Best bang for your buck by far!

Big shout out to Scott and his team! We just took our first ever snorkel and my wife does not swim well and is afraid of the water. Scott is a very calm and encouraging person, my wife held on to the float and with the life vest had no worries about sinking. Sure the water was murky today, yet we saw fish, and held a starfish, a sea cucumber, and an urchin. Way cool!

Before departure, I put on a wetsuit that fit my body. They also lend out snorkeling gear, so all you need is a swimsuit and a towel.

While enjoying a wonderful sunset and engaging conversations, we headed to the manta ray spot. There were other boats gathered there, but the number of mantas was beyond my imagination, coming so close that it felt like they were about to bump into us, spinning around during their plankton feeding time. It was truly a moving experience.

The illuminated board had handles, and the guide pulled it to the spot, so there was no need to swim, making it suitable for those who aren't confident in their swimming abilities. Moana, our Japanese guide, kept us entertained with her lively talk. The captain spoke English, but his thoughtfulness made for a reassuring boat trip.

The encounter rate with mantas is over 90%, so the satisfaction level is very high. I highly recommend it!

出発前に体に合わせたウエットスーツを着て乗船。
シュノーケルグッズも貸し出してくれるので、水着とタオルだけでオッケー
素晴らしい夕陽を見ながら、楽しい会話と共にマンタのスポットへ。
そこには他の船も集まってましたが、想像以上の数のマンタがぶつかりそうなくらいまで近くに来て何度も回転しながらプランクトンのお食事タイム。
ほんと感動のひとときでした。
照明のついたボードには、持ち手もついていて、ガイドさんが引っ張ってスポットまで連れて行ってくれるので、泳ぐ必要はなくて泳ぎに自信がない人でも大丈夫
日本語ガイドのモアナさんも軽快なトークで楽しませてくれます。キャプテンは英語ですが、気遣いが伝わってきて安心の船旅でした。
マンタとの遭遇率は90%以上とのこと、満足感はとても高いです。おすすめします！

This time on my solo trip, I went kayaking.
Unfortunately, there were no dolphins, but the views of Hualalai and Mauna Loa in the morning were absolutely beautiful!
The couple who joined me patiently waited for me, who was running a bit late, along with the guide, and I did my best to keep up.
On the way back, WiL helped by connecting my kayak since I was a bit tired.
I want to participate again next time and hope to encounter dolphins!

ひとり旅の今回は、カヤックに。
残念ながらイルカはいなかったけど、朝のフアラライやマウナロアがとても綺麗に見えて最高でした！
一緒に参加のご夫婦も、遅れ気味の私をガイドさんとともにのんびりと待ってくださり、一生懸命ついていきました♪
帰りは少し疲れた私のカヤックをWiLさんが連結してヘルプしてくださいました。
次もまた参加して、今度はイルカに遭遇したいです

The tour was fun, but the high waves in Waikiki and the simple life jackets that resembled airplane life vests seemed difficult for my 7-year-old child for snorkeling. We were able to see sea turtles while snorkeling, and it was enjoyable to sail out with the yacht's sails up. It might be fine for children who are strong swimmers and accustomed to snorkeling.

ツアーは楽しかったですが、
7歳の子供にはワイキキの高い波と、
飛行機の救命胴衣のような簡易ライフジャケットはシュノーケルには難しかったようです。
シュノーケルでウミガメも見れましたし、
ヨットの帆を張って沖まで行ったりして楽しかったです。
泳力とシュノーケル慣れのある子供なら大丈夫かも。

The port at Dolphin Middle School was under maintenance, so I was upgraded to Dolphin University for free and participated in the Dolphin University tour on the same day.

It was great that the pickup bus was filled only with Japanese people, and all the explanations about the snorkeling spots, dolphins, and sea turtles were provided in Japanese. Our tour guide, Hayato, was very kind and taught us a lot about the Hawaiian sea, which helped me learn about Hawaiian marine life.

After arriving at the boat, we set sail with people other than Japanese.

I was really hoping to see dolphins and sea turtles, and I was very happy to encounter Hawaiian monk seals, sea turtles, and a pod of dolphins right away from the boat.

We returned home around 12:30, which was a nice point since I could plan to play more in the afternoon.

I was able to see dolphins from the water, and overall, it was a very satisfying tour!!

I would like to participate again when I come to Hawaii.

Thank you very much.

イルカ中学のポートがメンテナンスになり、無料でイルカ大学にグレードアップいただいて、同日のイルカ大学ツアーに参加しました。

ピックアップのバス内は日本人のみで、シュノーケルする場所やイルカやウミガメについての説明など全て日本語で行っていただけたのがよかったです。
ツアーガイドをしてくれたハヤトさんがとても優しく、ハワイの海について詳しく教えてくれたため、ハワイの生物や海について勉強になりました。

船に到着してからは、日本人以外の方も一緒に船に乗り出航しました。

イルカやウミガメが見れたら嬉しいなと思っていたところ、すぐに船の上からハワイアンモンクシール(アザラシ)やウミガメ、イルカの群れに会うことができとても嬉しかったです。

バスでの帰宅は12:30ごろになり、午後も遊ぶ予定がいれられたのも良いポイントでした。

イルカも海の中から見ることができ、総じて大満足なツアーです！！

またハワイに来たら参加したいと思います。

ありがとうございました。

I was recommended Hanauma Bay as a great spot in Hawaii by a friend, but I learned that reservations are required for entry. Since I can't drive, I was looking for an all-inclusive plan and found this tour.

I had only snorkeled once before, so I was a bit anxious, but the small group and the attentive guidance in Japanese made it a wonderful experience. I was really happy to see sea turtles!

Hanauma Bay has more waves than I expected, so while floating, my body was swaying, and I was glad I took motion sickness medication. (There were others who got seasick as well. I tend to get motion sickness easily, but thanks to the medication, I had no issues at all.)

I heard that it's difficult to reserve entry tickets for Hanauma Bay, so I'm really glad I booked this tour considering that aspect too.

友人からハワイのおすすめの場所としてハナウマ湾を教えてもらいましたが入場に予約が必要とのことで、車も運転できないので全て込み込みのプランを探しておりこのツアーを見つけました。
シュノーケルは一回しか経験がなく少し不安でしたが、日本語で少人数で丁寧に進めてもらい、ウミガメも見ることができて本当に良かったです！
ハナウマ湾は思ったより波があるので、浮いている間に身体が揺れるので酔い止めを服用していってよかったです。(波酔いしてしまっている方もいました。自分もかなり乗り物酔いしやすいですが、薬の服用のおかげで全然問題なかったです)
ハナウマ湾の入場チケットは予約困難らしく、その点も含めてこのツアーを予約してよかったなと思います。

The staff members are amazing, and the food was delicious, but it would have been perfect if there were more play equipment! The staff doesn't go down to the sea, so it feels like you have to enjoy it on your own. However, the boat was beautiful, there were plenty of fish, and we even got to see turtles, so it was a lot of fun!

スタッフさん達は最高ですし、食事も美味しかったけどもう少し遊具が充実していれば完璧でした！
スタッフさん達は誰も海に降りないので自分たちで楽しむ感じです。でも船は綺麗で魚も沢山いて亀にも会えましたしとても楽しかったです！

All crew was perfectly friendly and amazing experience

We had a great transportation to and from the boat. The driver was friendly, pleasant, and knowledgeable about the area.I loved being able to snorkel, swim and just be on the platform. There was musical entertainment on the boat, which was nice on the way to and on the way back from the sandbar. The crew made everything fun and made sure that everyone was safe. I would do it again, for sure, and maybe next time I will have the courage to try the stand up paddle board.

Mantas can be seen in other countries as well, but the encounter rate on the Big Island of Hawaii is overwhelmingly high, so I definitely recommend experiencing it. During the session I participated in, several large mantas swam right in front of me, providing a truly valuable experience. The Japanese-speaking guide was very attentive, making it a reassuring tour.

For those who will be participating:
- The boat will speed towards the destination for a while, and it can be quite bumpy. If you're worried about seasickness, it's recommended to take motion sickness medication before joining.
- It gets chilly after coming out of the water. Bringing a large towel can be useful as it can also serve as a wrap.
- Since it's a popular tour, seats can fill up quickly, so it's advisable to keep your belongings to a minimum (if you don't want to place them on the floor). A waterproof bag is recommended as a lot of seawater comes into the boat.
- There is only one Japanese-speaking guide, and of course, they won't be able to provide individual attention to everyone. Especially for beginners in snorkeling, it's safer to familiarize yourself with how to wear the snorkel, how to fit it, how to put on a wetsuit, and how to enter the water beforehand.

マンタは他の国でも見られるそうですが、ハワイ島での遭遇率は圧倒的に高いそうなので、ぜひ体験することをお勧めします。私が参加した回も、大きなマンタが何匹も目の前でくるくると回ってくれて、とても貴重な体験をすることができました。
日本語対応ガイドさんもきめ細やかに対応してくださって、安心できるツアーでした。

これから参加する方に向けて
・爆速のボートをしばらく走らせて目的地に向かいます。かなり揺れます。船酔いが心配な方は酔い止めを服用してから参加するのがおすすめです。
・海から出た後は冷えます。大きなタオルを持参すると羽織にもなるので良いと思います。
・人気なツアーで席が埋まることも多いそうなので、荷物は最小限がおすすめです(床に置きたくなければ)。海水が船内にかなり入ってくるので、防水対応の袋に入れると安心と思います。
・日本語ガイドさんは一名で、もちろん自分たちだけにつきっきりでケアしてくれるわけではありません。特にシュノーケリング初心者の方はシュノーケルの装着方法や合わせ方、ウェットスーツの着方や海への入り方等々、事前に知識を入れられるものは入れてから望んだ方が安心です。

The most perfect day ever. Captain Robin was beyond amazing and hannah was so lovely. The whole experience was a 10/10 it was my favorite day on the trip. I was with a party of 6 and the attention to making sure we all had a great time was so amazing. The snorkel was so ethereal we saw so many turtles and fishes. The sandbar activities were so fun. Would recommend to everyone !!

I loved the cruise!... Sit in the back if you don't like the movement of the boat. The scenery and water was beautiful! We saw dolphins and turtles! The weather was beautiful!! Lastly, the crew was the best!!! Can't wait to go again!

Everything was great, exactly how it’s described
The timing, the staff, the photographer on board and under water was great, we saw the turtles, and dolphins, loved it
Take early time so u will be done by noon and you have another half of the day to do more or rest
My kids were excited to be in the water, they were little too small for snorkeling (4 and 2 years old) so didn’t snorkel

Our party had a great time. All of the staff was very friendly and ensured we had fun and were safe. The whole experience was amazing.

In the afternoon, the sand wasn't packed down and felt like it was floating in the sea, but I had a great time with various activities! The banana boat was also amazing!

午後の時間帯で、砂はあわられておらず海にぷかぷか浮いている感じでしたが、いろんなアクティビティができて楽しかったです！
バナナボートも最高でした

The pickup, local guidance, and snorkeling instruction were all great! However, it was a bit disappointing that the visibility was low due to the light rain and waves...

お迎えから、現地案内、シュノーケリング指導、とてもよかったです！しかし、小雨で波があったので、透明度が低く残念。。。

Turned out to be a perfect day and the crew were fabulous.

100% would do again

Overall great experience and had so much fun. This was my first time snorkeling and my first time in Hawaii. Definitely will return. The crew was outstanding.

What a great day, there was the sweetest turtle the whole time in the water

Like Sabrina Carpenter would say- short and sweet! Perfect to get out on the water and snorkeling right by the hotels!

A really lovely balance of getting to see the Na Pali and enjoying dinner while getting the gorgeous views!

For my husband and I who were not sure if we were comfortable in deeper water, this snorkel was perfect and shallow with plenty of fish!

My husband loved this boat ride so much, it made me so happy!
