All Reviews for Snorkeling Cruises & Tours

On September 11th, my husband and I participated in this activity. I thought the ocean in Hawaii was beautiful, but I didn't realize just how stunning it could be. Despite going by cruiser, the clarity of the water was amazing; you could see the bottom! Unlike the seas in Japan, there were no seaweed or kelp floating around, and there was no distinct ocean smell.

There were beautiful fish (tropical fish!) and we even got to see sea turtles. We were told that we might not see dolphins, but we encountered two groups of them, and we were able to watch them jump and spin like in a show. Dolphins are so cute! I was truly thrilled!

I really felt that coming to Hawaii was the right choice. It was my first time snorkeling, but I was taught carefully, and since I could borrow a life jacket, I was able to enjoy it even though I'm not a strong swimmer. It was also reassuring to have Japanese staff join us in the water.

9/11に夫婦で参加させていただきました。
キレイだと思っていたハワイの海が、こんなにもキレイだとは思っていませんでした。クルーザーで行くところにもかかわらず、海の底が見える透明感がスゴイ!!日本の海みたいに、ワカメやこんぶが浮いていないし、海独特の匂いもしないんです。
キレイなお魚（熱帯魚～）もいるし、ウミガメも見ることができました。見れない場合もあるといわれていたイルカは、2つの群に遭遇することができ、まるで、ショーのようにスピンしながらジャンプする姿も見ることができました。
イルカかわいい!もう、大感激!!
ほんとに、ハワイに来てよかったねーって実感できました。
シュノーケルは初めてでしたが、丁寧に教えてもらえたし、ライフジャケットも借りられたので、泳ぎが苦手な私でも楽しめました♪日本語スタッフが一緒に海に入ってくれたのも、安心できました。

The staff on this boat is amazing! They provide a great breakfast with bagels, fruit, etc. They also have a BBQ lunch whereas most other boats only provide deli sandwiches. Unlimited drinks too. We only had about 80 people on our boat so it was really roomy (usual capacity is 120 or so). They also provide high quality underwater cameras (for a fee) and they document the trip in a video and photo CD which you can also buy. Definitely try snuba if your budget allows! The instructor is terrific! 5 stars all the way! Absolutely no complaints!

I absolutely recommend this. My daughter and I participated together. We arrived at Kona Marina in 45 minutes from Waikiki, and it felt luxurious, like we were the owners of the yacht harbor we see on TV. We boarded the boat with a handsome young man, a dandy captain, and a cute Hawaiian girl guiding us. Coffee, tea, water, and canned drinks were all-you-can-drink. The tour guide mentioned that encountering dolphins was not guaranteed, so I thought it would be okay if we didn't see any. However, within 10 minutes, we heard "dolphins" and rushed to the bow, where a pod of dolphins was swimming, including a mother and baby dolphin swimming closely together. The boat kept a respectful distance as we watched, and while learning that dolphins are nocturnal and swim while sleeping during the day, they jumped and spun in the air. I only had my camera, so I missed the shutter chance since they didn't announce when they would jump, but bringing a video camera would be a good idea.

Next, we challenged ourselves to snorkel. After receiving instructions, we headed into the sea, but I struggled with breathing and ended up sputtering. I finally got the hang of it and looked into the water at a depth of 6 meters, where the Hawaiian girl guided us to a spot where sea turtles were likely to be. We saw five sea turtles swimming! Then, we heard from the boat, "Dolphins are here," and when we looked into the water, there was a dolphin swimming right next to us. We could hear the dolphin's "pee" sound. My daughter and I popped our heads up to signal that we saw it. She asked the Hawaiian girl if she could try diving, so she took off her snorkel and fins, exhaled, and tried free diving. After a few attempts, she struggled to go deeper and felt pain in her ears, so she gave up. The Hawaiian girl demonstrated free diving quite deeply.

For some reason, that day, there were only three of us snorkeling: my daughter, myself, and another girl from Seattle, so we could enjoy it leisurely. Others on the boat were watching us. After that, we had breakfast on the boat, which included chicken, bread, salad, fruit, yogurt, and muffins, and it was all very delicious. I decided that I definitely want to snorkel again next time. Thank you so much, Alan1. I had a truly meaningful time.

絶対絶対オススメです。娘と二人で参加しました。
ワイキキから45分でコナマリーナに到着、テレビで見るようなヨットハーバーまるで自分たちがオーナーであるかのようなリッチな気分で船に乗り込み、イケメン風のお兄さんとダンディなボーン船長とキュートでかわいいハワイ娘の3人が案内してくれます。コーヒー･紅茶･水に缶ジュースは飲み放題です。ツアーの案内にイルカとの遭遇は確約ではありませんと書いてあったので、会えなくても仕方ないかぁと思っていたら、10分もしないうちに「イルカ」という声で船首に出てみるとイルカの群れが泳いでいました、親子イルカまでいます、親子仲良く離れずに泳いでいます、船はつかず離れずで進んでいきます、イルカは夜行性で昼間は寝ながら泳いでいると説明を聞きながら見ていると、空中に飛び3回転スピン・2回転スピンをしてくれました、カメラしかもっていなかったので、今から飛ぶぞと言ってくれない為、シャターチャンスは見逃しましたが、ビデオを持っていくといいですよ。さあいよいよシュノーケルに挑戦、説明を受けいざ海へ、息の吸う吐くがうまくいかず、げぼげぼ、こつをつかみ水深6ｍの海の中をのぞいてみる、海がめのいそうなスポットへハワイ娘が案内してくれます、海がめが泳いでいる、しかも5頭もいるではないですか、そして船から「イルカがきたよ」との合図に海の中をのぞく、すぐ横にイルカが泳いでいる、「ピー」というイルカの声が聞こえる、娘と二人顔を出して、見たの合図、娘はもぐってみたいとハワイ娘におねだり、シュノーケルをはずし、足ひれをはずし空気をぬいて、素もぐり、うまく沈まない、2.3回トライ少し深くもぐって耳が痛いと断念、ハワイ娘は、素もぐりでかなり深く沈んで手本を見せてくれていました。なぜかこの日はシュノーケルをする人が私と娘ともう1人シアトルから来た娘さんと3人だったので、ゆったりと楽しむことができました。他の人たちは船から、私達をウォチングしていました。その後は船のなか、チキン.パン.サラダ．フルーツ.ヨーグルト．マフインの朝食、とってもおいしかったです。次回も絶対シュノーケルをしたいと心に決めた日でした。Alan1ちゃん本当にありがとうございました。とっても有意義に過ごすことができました。

I participated on September 3rd. There were about 40 spinner dolphins, and we could see them clearly from the boat. We also got to see sea turtles gracefully swimming along the seabed while snorkeling. The kalua pig open sandwich was delicious, and the staff provided attentive guidance. I would like to bring my children next time.

９月３日に参加しました。４０頭はいましたね、ハシナガイルカが。船の上からはっきりと見れました。また、海カメも海底を優雅に泳ぐ様がシュノーケルで見れました。カルアピッグのオープンサンドも美味しかったしスタッフも丁寧な案内で、今度は子ども達もつれていきたいです。

It was an absolute pleasure spending the day w/these guys, they were extremely hospitable, made sure we had something to drink as soon as we borded, made sure everyone was entertained and that nobody had empty plates in there hands. There were 2 locations, the first was the sand bar where you could either play volley ball or you can have a practice run with your snorkle gear, we opted for snorkeling even tho there really werent any fish but we managed to keep ourselves occupied. The water is gorgeous! After re-bording the Barefoot I, they had a nice lunch spread out for us, and you can purchase beers for i think about 4 bux a pop. We then moved on to our next location which was a reef, it was the best snorkeling experience i've had, lots of fish, caves, a sea turtle & an octopus (which i didnt get to see), it seemed that we got to spend alot of time in the water which was really kewl! On the way back, the driver was pointing out movie locations and stuff, such as Gilligan's Island

I was drawn to the spiritual concept of "Dolphin & You" and decided to participate.

When I first encountered the dolphins, unfortunately, the timing didn't align for us to swim together, and I was starting to think, "Am I really going to have to go home like this?" However, the leader, Yuriko, and the staff were persistent in their search, and we finally encountered a large pod of dolphins! Just a few inches below me, pairs of baby dolphins and their mothers were swimming! We swam alongside them for a while. Even though I couldn't catch up, they kept coming back, as if they were coming to play with us. There were dolphins winking as they crossed right in front of me and others showcasing impressive spins... they were full of playfulness. I was truly moved.

Additionally, the cheerful staff and Yuriko's engaging talks and attentiveness kept us entertained every second, making me feel like it was "a professional job." I was able to interact with locals, enjoy a homemade lunch with a mini show, and even learn hula from a well-known local teacher. It was all very thoughtful. I felt that the performance was of high quality, well-structured, and based on respect for Hawaiian culture and nature. Given the price, it was definitely not expensive. Thank you, "Dolphin & You"!

　「ドルフィン＆ユー」さんのスピリチュアルなコンセプトに惹かれて参加しました。

　最初にイルカたちに遭遇したときは、残念ながら一緒に泳ぐタイミングが合わず、「もうこれで帰っちゃうのか・・仕方ないかな」と諦めかけていたのですが、リーダーのYurikoさんやスタッフの方たちが粘り強く探してくださって、ついにイルカの大きな群れと遭遇！
　自分のほんの数十センチ下を、赤ちゃんイルカとお母さんイルカのペアが、何組も泳いでいます！しばらく平行して泳ぎました。追いつけなくても彼らは繰り返しやってきて、まるで遊びに来てくれているようでした。ウィンクしながら目の前を横切るイルカさんや、見事なスピンを披露してくれるイルカさんも・・彼らは遊び心いっぱいでした。心から感激しました。

　それ以外にも、陽気なスタッフと、客を1秒たりとも退屈させないYurikoさんのトークや気配りは、「プロの仕事だなあ」と感じさせました。ローカルの方と触れ合え、お手製ランチにミニshow、現地では有名なフラの先生にフラを習うことができ、至れり尽くせり。ハワイの文化や自然へのリスペクトを基本にしながら、内容も構成も全体によく練られた上質のパフォーマンスであると感じました。これでこの値段は、決して高くはありません。
　「ドルフィン＆ユー」さん、ありがとうございました！

The sea of heaven. It's truly the best. It feels great! Moreover, there are places where you can walk even if you can't swim, so I had no worries at all. After that, we went snorkeling at the tropical fish and sea turtle spots, but I was so scared at the tropical fish spot that I skipped entering the water at the sea turtle spot. Still, I was satisfied to see a turtle floating by. The fun Hawaiian vibe and the guide's talk really got everyone excited. When my body got wet, even though the temperature was high, it felt so cold that my teeth were chattering. It was about 35 degrees that day... I definitely recommend bringing a jacket. Next time, I want to learn a bit of swimming and participate again!

天国の海。本当に最高です。気持ちがいい！しかも泳げなくても歩けるところなので、全く心配ありませんでした。その後の熱帯魚と海がめスポットでのシュノーケリングでしたが、熱帯魚スポットでびびった私は海がめのスポットでは恐ろしくて入水をパスしました。それでも浮いてきた亀を見れたので満足です。ハワイアンの楽しいノリとガイドさんのトークでものすごく盛り上がりました。体が水にぬれると、気温は高くても歯がガクガクするほど寒く感じました。当日も35度くらいあったのに…是非上着を持参することをお勧めします。今度は少し泳ぎを覚えて、また是非参加したいです！

This was our first time trying Snuba and I don't know where to begin. Hawaii activities was great about following up with us to remind us of our event. The crew for our event was exceptional!!! We had snorkeled the day before with another charter that was good but hands down the crew on this boat was the best. As we boarded the boat they took our pictures and they had a separate film guy that took footage while we were on the boat and under the water in both places we dived. If you're not sure about scuba diving then try snuba first. It allows you the freedom of being under the water without wearing tanks. Good indicator if you're going to like scuba.

We absolutely enjoyed the Fair Wind Catamaran Cruise activity. The crew was friendly and very accomodating, the snorkeling location was absolutely beautiful and was filled with sea life and the experience overall was wonderful. Definitely recommend this activity. Will definitely repeat this activity when we visit the Big Island again.

Staff is AWESOME and VERY helpful in getting you what you need and want. Lunch was ok. Choice of 2 different places to choose meal. Would do it again.

We participated as a couple.
The memories of walking along the sandbar while gazing at the unbelievably beautiful sea and magnificent nature have become unforgettable.

The staff's response was also very good, and it was a safe and interesting tour.

During snorkeling, we were able to see many fish gathering around the coral. I think there were even more fish than at Hanauma Bay.

Fortunately, we were able to see a sea turtle. If we were luckier, we could have swum with it as well.

Additionally, the service was great, including the option to create a DVD with photos taken by a professional photographer (for an additional fee).

I felt a beauty different from Waikiki and the North Shore, and I think it was the best tour! I definitely recommend participating!

カップルで参加しました。
信じられないようなきれいな海で、
壮大な自然を眺めながら歩いたサンドバーの思い出は、
忘れられないものになりました。

スタッフの方の対応もとても良くて、
安全で、おもしろいツアーでした。

シュノーケリングでは、サンゴに集まるたくさんの魚を見ることができました。
魚の多さなら、ハナウマ湾よりも多かったと思います。

運よく海がめを見ることもできました。
もっと運がよければ一緒に泳げたりもするそうです。

また、プロのカメラマンさんがとった写真でＤＶＤを作成してくれるなど（別料金）、サービスも良かったです。

ワイキキ、ノースショアとは違う美しさを感じることができて、
最高のツアーだと思います！
是非参加してみてください！

We had a great time, the snorkeling was amazing, the staff was great!

This was the best snorkeling tour I have ever been on. The 2 guys that conducted it were awesome and everyone had a great time! I definitely recommend Aloah Blue Charters for your snorkeling tours!

I spent a meaningful time from the morning until early afternoon. The weather was somewhat cloudy, so both the water temperature and the wind were a bit chilly.

I participated last October, and I think it's better to bring a long-sleeved jacket when it's cloudy.

There were quite a few waves, and I enjoyed bodyboarding. The staff provided thorough explanations, and lunch was included, so I was very satisfied.

午前中から昼過ぎまでの時間でしたが、有意義に過ごせました。天候は曇り気味だったので、水温・風共に若干冷たかったです。

去年の１０月に参加しましたが、曇っている時は上着の長袖を持っていったほうがいいと思います。

波がけっこうあって、ボディーボードを楽しみました。
スタッフの方の説明もきちんとあったし、昼食もついていたので大満足です。

We participated as a couple. I had been curious about the sandbar for a long time, and when I found it through a campaign this time, I made a reservation without hesitation. There were quite a few people participating, and we departed from the Kaneohe Bay harbor on two boats. While circling the beautiful sea where we could see the mountains of Kualoa and Chinaman's Hat, we spotted wild sea turtles from the boat. I had imagined the sandbar would be close to the land, but in reality, it suddenly exists in the middle of the ocean, quite far from the shore, surrounded by nothing, and it was more beautiful than I had expected, like a different world! The sea and sand were beautiful, resembling a private beach, and although the time was short, it was a precious experience. We went snorkeling, but there were hardly any fish. A group of older men and women who were on the same boat seemed to be looking forward to playing on the sandbar, but the distance from where the boat stopped to the sandy beach was close, yet the depth was not shallow enough to walk in with clothes on, so they ended up waiting on the boat while everyone else played, which was quite unfortunate. However, the wonderful experience that can only be had here is something I highly recommend! The water is shallow, so it's also recommended for children!

夫婦で参加しました。以前からサンドバーがずっと気になってましたが、今回キャンペーンで見つけ迷わず予約しました。かなり沢山の方が参加していて、カネオへ湾の港から２艘の船で出発しました。クアロアの山々やチャイナマンズハットが見える綺麗な海をぐるっと周りながら、途中野生のウミガメを船の上から見ました。サンドバーは、陸から近い所にあるのを想像してましたが、実際は陸からだいぶ離れた周りに何も無い海の真ん中に突如存在し、そこだけ別世界の様で思っていた以上に綺麗でした！！海も砂も美しくプライベートビーチの様で、時間は短めでしたが貴重な体験が出来ました。シュノーケリングをしましたが、魚はほとんどいませんでした。同じ船に乗ってきた年配の男女数名のグループの方たちが、海には入れないがサンドバーに降りて遊ぶのを楽しみにしてたみたいですが、船が停まった場所から砂浜までの距離が、近いけれど深さが洋服のまま行ける深さでは無く結局サンドバーに降りれずにみんなが遊んでる間船の上で待っていたのがとても可哀想でした。でもここでしか味わえない素晴らしさなので、ぜひ参加して欲しいです！海も浅いので子供さんにもオススメですよ！

We thoroughly enjoyed our Kayak lessons and putting what we learned into practice. It was a bonus spotting the beautiful sea turtles while snorkeling.

Great value with the afternoon trip... We do this activity every year and always have a good time.

We participated as two women.
We were the only Japanese participants, and although we couldn't speak Japanese, the staff's thoughtfulness and cheerfulness made us feel completely at ease and allowed us to enjoy ourselves.

The cruise to the snorkeling point offered a view of the Big Island from the sea, allowing us to see a different side of Hawaii. We were lucky enough to encounter a pod of dolphins!

The snorkeling experience was incredibly satisfying with the beautiful Hawaiian sea and fish! Even those who are not confident swimmers can borrow floatation devices, so there’s no need to worry.

For lunch, the staff treated us to homemade hamburgers. There were also desserts like brownies! Everything was very delicious. They took us to two snorkeling points, and we were very satisfied both in our stomachs and hearts!

Last year, I participated and my wife liked it so much that we applied for a second time. I thought the staff's response was good as well. We were satisfied to encounter dolphins, turtles, and tropical fish.

昨年参加して妻が気に入ってしまい、2回目の申し込みをしました。スタッフの対応もよかったと思います。イルカ、亀、熱帯魚と遭遇して満足できました。

There are many tours where you can see wild dolphins, but Dolphin & You is truly recommended. The staff's response is polite, and they can communicate in Japanese, of course. The local staff are kind, so even those who are afraid of the ocean can enjoy themselves with peace of mind.

The snorkeling after seeing the dolphins is enjoyable even for those who have dived at various points before. It has a charm different from diving.

The DVD I purchased turned out great, and it's a wonderful memory. I definitely want to go to Hawaii again and participate!

野生のイルカと会えるっていうツアーは沢山あるけど、ドルフィン＆ユーは本当におすすめです。
スタッフの対応も丁寧、日本語ももちろん通じるし、現地スタッフの方も心優しくて、海が怖い方も安心して楽しめると思います。
イルカを見たあとのシュノーケリングは、今までダイビングでいろいろなポイントに潜ったことがある方でも、充分楽しめると思います。ダイビングとは違った魅力がありました。

購入したＤＶＤもいい出来で、とてもいい思い出です。
またぜひハワイに行って参加したいです！！

We participated as a family of five (husband and wife + 8-year-old + 5-year-old + grandmother, 63 years old). I was worried because the children couldn't swim, but it was no problem at all. It happened to be my eldest son's birthday that day, and I was concerned about whether we would see dolphins, but a dolphin came close to my son, and he was overjoyed! After that, we also encountered turtles and beautiful tropical fish. It truly became a wonderful birthday memory. The staff were very kind, and I would love to participate again if the opportunity arises!

ファミリー５人で参加しました。
（夫婦＋８歳＋５歳＋おばあちゃん６３歳）
子供たちが泳げないので不安でしたが全然問題なかったです。ちょうどこの日は長男の誕生日、イルカに逢えるか心配でしたが長男の近くまでイルカが来てくれて大喜びでした！
その後に亀やきれいな熱帯魚にも逢えました。本当に良い誕生日の思い出になりました。スタッフの皆さんもとっても親切でまた機会があったら参加したいです！

I participated with a friend on July 19. It was my first time snorkeling and swimming with dolphins, so I was a bit anxious, but it was incredibly fun.

On the day, we weren't able to see many dolphins, but I was really happy that the staff worked hard to find spots where we could see them. Since they are wild dolphins, it's not guaranteed that you'll see them, but we were satisfied to see at least a few.

The hamburgers they grilled on the boat were also really delicious, and it became a wonderful memory. Moreover, everyone on the staff, including Yuriko, was truly kind, and we had a great time.

Thank you very much. I would definitely love to participate again.

7/19に友人と二人で参加しました。私はシュノーケルもイルカと泳ぐのも初めてだったので、少々不安もありましたが、すごーーーく楽しかったです。
当日はあまりイルカを見る事ができなかったのですが、私たちにイルカを見せてくれようとスタッフの皆さんが一生懸命になってイルカのいるスポットを探してくれたのがとても嬉しかったです。
野生のイルカなので必ずしも会えるとは限らないのですが、結果的に少しでも見れて私たちは満足です。
船の上で焼いてくれたハンバーガーもすごく美味しくて、本当によい思い出になりました。それにユリコさんをはじめスタッフの皆さんも本当によい方ばかりでとっても楽しかったです。
どうもありがとうございました。また是非参加させてもらいたいです。

I participated with a close friend. Since it was both of our first time in Hawaii, we were looking for activities where we could see dolphins, but I was a bit worried because I wasn't confident in my swimming skills. The Japanese guide, Keiko, and the local staff were all very cheerful and kind. This time, based on the captain's decision, we descended the stairs of a catamaran and followed a pod of dolphins while holding onto a rope. I thought I wouldn't be able to chase the dolphins while snorkeling, so this was an unexpected and wonderful method! I heard that now, to protect baby dolphins, they swim fast and it's hard to keep up with them while snorkeling. I was so impressed by the staff who tried to show us the dolphins up close! There were plenty of dolphins, and it was a wonderful time. At the snorkeling spot, there were also turtles, and everyone was really enjoying themselves. The hamburgers were very delicious, and the hula dance lesson was fun. I would love to participate again when I go back to Hawaii.

仲良しの友だちとふたりで参加しました。
ふたりとも初ハワイだったのでイルカに会えるアクティヴィティを探していたんですが、泳ぎに自信がない私は少々心配もありました。
日本人ガイドのkeikoさんもロコのスタッフさんもとっても朗らかな良い方ばかりでしたし、今回は船長さんの判断でカタマランという船の階段に降り、ロープにつかまったままイルカの群れを追って見る方法でした。私はシュノーケルでイルカを追うのはできないなぁ…と思っていたので願ってもいない方法でした！今は赤ちゃんイルカを守るためにスピードが速くなかなかスノーケリングでは追いつけないそうです。なんとか近くで見せてくれようと考えてくださったスタッフに感激！イルカの数もいっぱいで素敵な時間でした。
スノーケルのポイントでは亀もいてみんな本当に楽しんでいました。
ハンバーガーもとってもおいしかったし、フラダンスレッスンもおもしろかったです。
またハワイに行ったら参加したいです。

Great experience. Friendly staff, great for people who like to spend the day exploring and relaxing outdoors. Kailua & Lanikai are great for relaxing on the beach, snorkelling & kayaking and isn't overly crowded. After spending the day at the beach, come back and get sweets & shave ice at the next door eateries and enjoy the ride back to Waikiki.

My family is still talking about the exceptional, exciting, fantastic trip that we took to Niihau. The snorkeling was the best that we have ever seen- clear blue water, lots of fish and plenty of time to snorkel. The colors of the water were incomparable- sapphire blue, azure, teal,aquamarine and garnet green-spectacular. The service and the crew were great- they really knew all about the islands and they were experts on snorkeling.
We would go again in a heartbeat!!

The parking lot designated from the Hilton Hotel where we stayed was quite a distance away, but the traffic flowed smoothly, and we arrived without getting lost and with plenty of time to spare. After checking in at the counter, we enjoyed some delicious coffee that was prepared while we waited for departure.

Once we set sail, we moved along the blue sea (at quite a speed!) next to the lava fields. There were just over ten participants, and only two groups were Japanese, including us. When we arrived at the spot, the guide explained the swimming area, and everyone entered the water at their leisure.

My English is at a middle school level, but the guide explained things with gestures, so there were no problems. It was my first time snorkeling, and although I was a bit scared in the very clear water, I quickly became captivated by the colorful, beautiful fish, and time flew by.

After swimming at two spots, we enjoyed BBQ hamburgers grilled on the boat, which left us both satisfied in our stomachs and hearts. We also visited several sightseeing spots and took lots of photos. The restroom on the boat was spacious and clean, making it easy to change into our swimsuits, which I personally appreciated. This is a great tour where you can see various aspects of the Big Island in just a few hours. I would love to participate again when I go back to Hawaii!

　私達が宿泊していたヒルトンホテルから指定の駐車場まではかなり距離がありましたが、車は順調に流れ、迷わず余裕持って着くことができました。
カウンターで受付を済ませ、出航まで準備されていたおいしいコーヒーを飲んで待っていました。
出航すると溶岩大地と並走するように碧い海を（結構なスピードで!）進んで行きました。参加者は１０人ちょっとくらいで、日本人は私達入れて２組だけでした。スポットに着くと添乗員が泳ぐ範囲などの説明をして、各々好きな時に海に入って行きました。
私の英語は中学生レベルですが、添乗員の方がジェスチャーを交えて説明してくれたので問題ありませんでした。
初めてのシュノーケルで、しかもかなり透明感が高い海で怖さも少しありましたが、すぐに色とりどりの綺麗な魚に見入ってあっという間に時間は過ぎていきました。
２ヶ所のスポットで泳いだ後に船上で焼いたBBQのハンバーガーを頂き、お腹も心も大満足でした。
観光スポットにもいくつか回り、写真もたくさん撮れました。船上のトイレは広くて清潔感があり、水着の着替えをしやすかったのが個人的には嬉しかったです。数時間でいろいろなハワイ島の姿が見られるお得なツアーです。またハワイに行ったら参加したいです！！

Had a BLAST!! Captain & crew went above and beyond to please all. Great food too.

didn't see one dolphin, but had a great time, food great, staff excellent,loved all the turtles at coral gardens, can't say enough about staff

This was by far the best snorkeling trip my husband and I have ever gone on, partly because of luck, but also because of the knowledgeable crew. When we got on the boat we were informed that we could go to a reef and snorkel or we could swim with dolphins. Apparently the crew was informed that there were an unusual number of dolphins in a small area that day. Everyone agreed on dolphins. We swam with so many dolphins - it was useless to even try to count them. The crew was fun and laid back which made it an even more pleasant experience. Will definately go again if given the opportunity!

We all had a great time and I cannot say enough on how wonderful all the crew members are! They were all very attentive and helpful as well. My sister had never been snorkeling before and they had her swimming around and looking at fish in in no time. The area is also beautiful too and how cool was it to hang out on the sand bar in the middle of the bay?! Great time!
