Hawaii Manta Ray Sunset & Night Time Snorkel Experience from Kona - Iruka

LIFE CHANGING

Reviewed by: Nikki Clark

First of all, WOW. From beginning to end, this experience was one for the record books.
For $10 this crew sets you up with a wet suit (recommended), and then a snorkel set at no additional charge. Once we boarded, we were met with a warm welcome, and a good belly laugh. Excellent staff! They were informative, safe, and most importantly, knew how to have fun!
During the boat ride we were met with bottle nose dolphins and a humpback whale sighting! The dolphins were curious and playful, and swam all around our boat! I may or may not have shed a tear of joy. It was seriously rad.
Once we got to our destination they gave us a noodle for floating, and set up a large, square floatation device for everyone to hold onto while we watched the mana rays. They are huge! They’re giant, friendly, and bring their appetite for plankton. You’ll also see tons of fish while you snorkel.
After our time was up, and we boarded, they passed out cups of hot chocolate.
The entire experience as a whole was one we will never forget. YOU HAVE TO DO THIS while you’re here!
Thank you so much for the experience of a lifetime! Keep up the good work, guys! Mahalo

I was able to meet a honu (sea turtle) ♡ ホヌに会えました♡

Reviewed by: ゆいぴー

When I woke up in the morning and looked outside, it was cloudy... Since it looked cold, I wore a swimsuit, a rash guard, and a light jumper! There were four staff members on the boat, and they were all wearing thick hoodies (laughs). We arrived at the sandbar quickly from where the boat was anchored! The water was about waist-deep, and despite the clouds, it was surprisingly clear and beautiful! They lent us paddleboards and floaties, so we spent time taking pictures and having fun at the sandbar! After that, we put on life jackets and snorkels and swam to see the honu! It was quite deep, but wearing a life jacket made it completely fine! There were a lot of participants, so it was a bit crowded for swimming. We were able to see about 3-4 honu (^ - ^). After getting out of the water, it was so cold that I was shivering, so having a thick hoodie or sweatshirt might be a good idea! On the boat, there were snacks, warm water, coffee, and one spam onigiri per person! The snacks were all-you-can-eat, so I tried some that I had never eaten before! They were all delicious snacks, so I bought some as souvenirs at a local supermarket! Since there was a little time after getting off the boat, some people were changing. It was really cold, so I wish I had brought a change of clothes... One of the staff members spoke Japanese, so I could hear the explanations in Japanese! It was a valuable experience!!

朝起きて外を見たら、曇り、、、
寒そうだったので水着＋ラッシュガード＋薄手のジャンパーみたいなものを羽織って行きました！
船のスタッフは4名いましたが、みなさん厚めのパーカーを羽織ってました(笑)
船の停まってる場所からサンドバーまではすぐ到着しました！腰くらいの高さでしたが、曇りの割に水が透き通って見えてとても綺麗でした！
パドルボートや浮き輪を貸してくれたので、サンドバーで楽しみながら写真を撮ったりして過ごしました！
その後、ライフジャケットとシュノーケルをつけて、ホヌに会いに泳ぎました！結構深いところですが、ライフジャケットを着てるので全く問題なかったです！
参加者が多かったので、泳ぎにくさはありました。3-4匹のホヌに会えることができました(^-^)
海から上がった後は震えるくらい寒かったので、厚手のパーカーやトレーナーがあると、いいかもしれません！
船上ではスナック、あったかい水・コーヒー、1人1個スパムおにぎりがありした！！スナックは食べ放題なので、食べたことのないスナックを食べました！！どれも美味しいスナックなので、お土産に地元のスーパーでも買いました！
船から降りてから少し時間もあったので、着替えてる方もいました。とにかく寒かったので着替え持参しておけばよかった、、
スタッフのうち1名、日本語スタッフがいてくれたので、説明は日本語で聞けました！
貴重な経験ができました！！

4.5-Hour Sea Quest Premium Rafting Snorkel Tour at Honaunau & Kealakekua Bay

Seaquest Kealakekua/ Honaunau Bay Premium Snorkel Tour

Reviewed by: Onnalee M

Capt Steve and crew member Morgan were absolutely Wonderful! Made us feel at ease. I would recommend the wet suits to get the full exploration time in case the westher is a bit chilly. Just getting out of the Bay was a Pod of Dolphins 8 or more right at the beginning of the Snorkeling tour!! On our way to 2nd Bay, Capt Steve notcied a whale that was a bit out of the way but still took us there and ended up being a Mama Whale with her baby practicing breaching the water! How amazing!! The Snorkeling was filled with Gorgeously Brillant colors of multitudes of fish especially at Capt Cook’s Momument! We explored magnificant caves while Capt Steve explained the History of the Island and topped off with delicious healthy assortment of fruit at first Bay and much needed sandwiches at the completion of the 2nd Bay stop!! We even lucked out and caught a glimpse of s huge Manta Ray coming back into port. Absolutely Perfect Snorkeling Tour and very personalized with a small group of interesting people!! Thank you Seaquest!!! I will remember this for the rest of my lfe!! That’s what life is all about!!

Kaneohe Bay Kayak & Snorkel Self-Guided Tour [Tour Not Available]

GREAT TIME and EXPERIENCE

Reviewed by: SusanH

LOVED kayaking in the ocean instead of chartering a boat/catamaran out to the sandbar. Spent most of our time on the largest, and should of rowed over to where a guide had nicely dropped a pin for us, but due to time stopped at a closer one, and still got to see A LOT of different fish, SO COOL! and sea life while snorkeling, but no turtles. Great snorkel gear, no fins, but didn't need them. A waterproof cell case is advisable, a hardcase one altho more expensive would of been better, as the water's current pushed against the soft plastic and turned off the video while shooting. Another tip, I'm glad I got water sandals that strapped on, to walk on the sandbar. The water was warm and so clear, and the view of the Koolau Mountains are majestic.

If you have any questions, give em' a call, Andy was so helpful and gracious.

Kamaaina Kayak and Snorkel Eco-Venture IS THE ONE TO BOOK not only is He'eia State Park right at the bay's edge, where the crew helps you launch right into the water. Renting is a bargain and not-for-profit, proceeds help to fund the park, which is managed by Kama'aina Kids, a local childcare org that serves as stewards to the park.

Absolutely recommended for first timers to Kaneohe

Reviewed by: Isaac

Great trip and highly recommended. The crew and live music were great and the activities included (paddle board, kayak, snorkel, volleyball) kept me and my wife busy during our time at the sandbar. We also saw live coral and a ton of fish as well as an octopus hiding near the anchor. Definitely a tour anyone should consider if they haven't visited the sandbar before. Having the boat also allowed us to avoid the sun and stay hydrated after the activities, sometime we wouldn't have been able to do if we had kayaked over from the harbor on our own.

Reviewed by: あんどーなつ

We participated as a couple in our 30s.
We were fortunate with the weather and were able to go to the sandbar under clear skies.

The sea was more beautiful than we imagined, and we were thrilled to encounter many sea turtles while snorkeling.

On our trip, there was a staff member who spoke Japanese, so it might be a good idea to inquire ahead of time since it may not be the case every time. However, I think those who are concerned about the language will feel reassured.

They properly checked the number of participants before setting out the boat, and there were plenty of snacks and drinks prepared. There were also various options for play equipment, making it a fulfilling and reassuring tour.

30代夫婦2人で参加しました。
天候にも恵まれて、晴天のなかサンドバーに行くことができました。

想像以上に美しい海でしたし、シュノーケリングではウミガメに沢山出会うことができて感動しました。

私たちの回はスタッフに日本語を喋れる方も同乗されていたので、毎回ではないかもしれないので問い合わせした方が良いかもしれませんが言語に不安がある方も安心ではないかと思います。

ちゃんと人数確認してから船をだしたり、お菓子や飲み物も沢山用意されていたり、遊ぶ道具も色々選択肢があり充実し、また安心できるツアーでした。
