Ocean Encounters Manta Ray Snorkel Tour - Sunset & Moonlight Cruise from Kona

A once in a lifetime experience. Captain and crew was fantastic.

Reviewed by: AJH

Captain and crew of Ocean Encounters 1 dove in ahead of guests, made a plan, and navigated us there. Honestly, we had a great viewing spot and several other boats' guests were eager to move into our spot upon our exiting. Boats are staggered and have a neighborly way of communicating where/when/how each group will be staggered but I would have been disappointed to be in one of the peripheral groups. These are wild animals, so no telling what each evening will look like, but was glad to have a captain who led the charge.

Tips: It is a bit of a rough ride for 20 mins out and approx 20 minutes back. If you are someone who suffers from carsickness or seasickness, highly recommend treating for that before you leave. We had 2 of 30 guests puking over the sides. I gave my carsick kiddo dramamine about an hour before-- no issues.

Do have inexperienced family members practice snorkeling ahead of tour so that they can spend the entire 45 minutes head down in the water enjoying the fish and rays and the learning is done in a pool or bay ahead of time. There were zero swimming skills necessary on this trip but knowing how to calmly enjoy breathing through a snorkel for an extended period was the difference between guests who really enjoyed and guests who didn't. There was a surfboard with handles that the group held on to, which was pulled into position by the guides.

Do warn your kiddos that these rays are HUGE. My youngest expected small 3-4 foot rays like we have in our aquarium and was initially very surprised (terrified) by the 12-15 wingspan on some of these beautiful creatures. They got right up in our personal bubble/faces/immediately underneath bellies and legs so do be ready for up-close amazing experience.

Do not bring a bunch of stuff/items as they end up dripped on and/or in the way. If the weather is warm all you need is shoes that are okay getting wet/dripped on, and a towel. They provided water and light packaged snacks on the return trip.

ウミガメシュノーケリング　モアナ号　広々快適な大型カタマラン船でリラックス！アルコール含むドリンク購入可　貸切プランあり＜3時間／英語／ケワロ湾発＞

I was able to see it up close! かなり近くで見れました！

Reviewed by: HITOMI

We participated with two adults and four children (ages 2 to 13). We were a bit anxious because it was slightly cheaper than other tours and only had English-speaking staff, but I thought communication would be fine as long as we could manage simple conversations. The boat was more luxurious than we expected, and we had a comfortable time.

During the snorkeling, we saw about 5 to 6 sea turtles from a distance for around 40 to 50 minutes. One of the local staff members was snorkeling and pointed out where the turtles were, but he wasn't very proactive, so we ended up diving and searching for them ourselves. However, we were thrilled to see one up close! If I have the chance to go again, I would love to participate.

大人2人、子ども4人(2〜13歳)で参加しました。
他のツアーに比べ少し安かったことと、英語のスタッフのみということで、少し不安はありましたが、簡単な会話ができる程度であれば、全くコミュニケーションは問題ないと思いました。
船も予想以上に豪華で快適に過ごせました。

ウミガメは約4〜50分間シュノーケル中に、5〜6頭遠くに見えました。
1人、現地のスタッフの方がシュノーケルをしながらウミガメのいる場所を教えてくれるのですが、あまり積極的でなかったため、自分たちで潜って探す感じでしたが、1頭至近距離で見れて感動しました！
また行く機会があったら参加したいです。

It was great that even children who can't snorkel could see a lot of fish! Riding in a real submarine was also a refreshing and fun experience, almost like an attraction. Also, the pilot was so cool that I couldn't help but sneak a glance! At one point, it got a bit boring, and my child fell asleep, but it was a good experience overall.

ウミガメシュノーケリング　ウミガメとの遭遇率が高い、ワイキキ沖のタートルキャニオンでシュノーケリング！＜英語スタッフ／ワイキキ発＞

Friendly staff フレンドリーなスタッフ

Reviewed by: わん

The staff was friendly, and there were enough staff members for participants to swim comfortably! They took the time to thoroughly explain safety precautions, such as not swimming at the back of the boat, and they were always watching over the participants. There was also a practice for the OK sign and help sign, which was reassuring. We were the only Japanese participants, but there were many children joining, and we were able to communicate and have fun. There was an incident where a participant's hat flew into the sea, but the staff returned the boat to the point where the hat was and jumped in to retrieve it. The snorkeling time was long, and if you get tired, you can return to the boat via the stairs! I highly recommend it!

スタッフはフレンドリーで、参加者に対してスタッフの数が多く安心して泳ぐことができました！
船の後ろ側は泳がないことなど、注意事項の説明も時間をかけてしっかりしてくださり、また、スタッフが常時参加者の様子を見ていました。
okのサインやヘルプのサインも事前練習があり、安心でした。
日本人参加者は我々だけでしたが、子供の参加も多く、楽しくコミュニケーションを取ることができました。
途中参加者の帽子が海に飛ばされるアクシデントがありましたが、船を帽子があるポイントに戻し、スタッフさんが飛び込んで取りに行っていました。
シュノーケリングの時間は長く、疲れたら階段から船に戻ることができます！お勧めです！

I recommend this for small children, elderly people, and anyone who wants to peek into the waters of Hawaii without getting wet.

We gathered on-site. Even if you arrive on time, there were no staff members present, which can be a bit unsettling, but it seems this is the usual situation (laughs). In our small group of 13, we could clearly hear the staff's explanations. At other times, it seemed to be fully booked with about 50 people.

We were able to see clearly down to the seabed and even encountered sea turtles. I think people of all ages can enjoy this. I downloaded the Japanese commentary in advance, but I wasn't sure when to start listening with the earphones.

小さなお子様にもご年配の方々も、濡れずにハワイの海の中を覗きたい人にとってもおすすめです。

モロキニ島シュノーケリングクルーズ ＜朝・昼食付／現地集合＞

感想 translates to "impressions" or "thoughts" in English. 感想

Reviewed by: mm

The tour was supposed to include two snorkeling spots, but in reality, we only visited one, and we couldn't go to the spot where we could see turtles. The weather on the day was clear.

As for my experience snorkeling at Molokini Island, the sea was relatively beautiful, but there weren't many types of fish, and I couldn't help but compare it to Okinawa and other islands in Japan, which left me a bit disappointed.

However, the local staff were very accommodating, the food was delicious, and the unlimited drinks made the tour more reasonable than I expected.

I was able to figure out the parking location by looking at everyone's reviews. I think it would be helpful for the operating site to provide a bit more detailed information.

ツアー内容はシュノーケルスポットを2箇所まわるということでしたが、実際は１箇所のみで、カメの見れるスポットには行けませんでした。当日の天気は晴天でした。

モロキニ島でのシュノーケル体験での感想としては、海はそれなりに綺麗ですがあまり魚の種類もいなく、沖縄や日本の離島とどうしても比較してしまい少し期待外れでした。

しかし、現地スタッフの方の対応もよく、食事も美味しかったですし、お酒も飲み放題だったので思ったよりツアーとしてはリーズナブルだと思います。

駐車場の場所は、皆さんの口コミをみて把握できました。運営サイトとして、もう少し詳細を具体的にしてあげると良いのではないかと思います。

The sea was murky and the visibility wasn't great, but it was amazing to see the underwater world that you can't usually experience. It seems the visibility is better in the morning. I wasn't sure when to start the Japanese guide, so if you could make that clearer, I think it would enhance the experience even more.

You can see shipwrecks and airplanes, which is great for those who are not confident in snorkeling, as it allows you to safely view the seabed. You can also see fish clearly, and if you're lucky, you might spot sea turtles or sharks. No matter which side you sit on, the boat turns alternately, so you can get a good view of the shipwrecks and other sights!

沈没船や、飛行機を見ることが出来て、シュノーケリングに自信が無い方には安全に海底を見れるのでいいと思います。
魚もしっかり見れ、運が良ければウミガメやサメも見ることができます。

Hawaii Glass Bottom Boat Scenic Cruise from Waikoloa by Ocean Sports | Kids 0-5 Ride for Free

Signage scant

Reviewed by: Kate

We only found out about this tour because we knew a local person. There’s no sign at the road near the bay as to where to turn or park. Parking cost $38 in the public beach parking area. Once you get to the parking lot, there’s no sign as to where the boat is docked or where the kiosk for the tour company is. One girl working the kiosk told us that they didn’t offer glass bottom boat tours; the kiosk name matched our reservation. The website is very unfriendly. The tour guide was good but the captain could go a bit slower when over a reef so that we unfamiliar with it can focus our eyes to see the fish.
