Such a fun and welcoming crew, nice boat and great experience! We Sat on the net at the front of the boat, highly recommend, super fun and exciting! The turtle post was awesome, it was at the feeding grounds so we saw tons of turtles. Lots of fish varieties. We were all beginners and instruction was super clear we jumped right in easily. Would definitley return to this company again when visiting.

I've been to Oahu many times. I brought my fiance this time since he's never been. I wanted him to try out snorkeling and see things other than fish, so the turtle tour was a perfect fit. Honestly the crew did a great job. Even the people we had on the boat with us doing the tour was a wonderful group. The only few downsides were: it rained. And I mean it poured! Not for very long and I'm sure the people in the water didn't notice it much, but I was sitting on the boat at the time and I was trying to cover our backpack and towels, since we would need them to dry off later, and it was coming down like pellets. But it didn't last more than 10-15 min and was more or less over. But the sky stayed dark making it hard to see through the already dark water. The turtles became less visible and it made our whole group decide to get out of the water and come back onto the boat to head back in. We were out there for a good amount of time but not the full time. The other problem we had was it got very crowded in the water looking at the turtles. 4 other boats full of passengers were doing other turtle tours as well. There was just a lot of people bumping into each other. I tried to stay away from most people and still saw a ton of turtles, but my fiance on the other hand had a harder time. It was also scary when I'd look up and not see him through all these other people. The last problem was that there were a few people who didn't know how to swim or snorkel. So it took a long time to explain how to use the snorkel equipment and pass out floaties. The positives were the boat was smooth sailing. Everyone was on time and nice. The turtles were wonderful. Hard to see them when they get super deep but they were big and beautiful and did not disappoint. Lots of fish to see too. The couple who run the boat are wonderful and so are there family who came and helped out as well. For the price I would definitely recommend this and probably do it again when we go back!

Overall the onboarding was smooth, there were clear instructions sent over email, there were enough (paid but cheap) parking spots at harbor. The boat was quipped and left on time. We all were free to roam on boat + take pick where needed as long as 3 point of contacts were maintained all the times.
They have plenty of noodles, snorkel mask cleaning gel. If you want life vests, carry yours. They even had prescription mask(mine was -5) and it made overall experience much better. The day we did tour, there weren't many variety of fishes, may be because it was cloudy. Food was good and served in buffet style.
After spending ~1hr at Molokini, the boat went to Turtle Town, where there were fishes and beautiful reef. They even let us jump from boat :)

I could hardly understand the explanation, which was in English only. The guide mentioned that headphones with explanations in Japanese would be available, but when I asked, I was told it was English only. I got bored just looking at the simple underwater scenery.
英語オンリーで、説明がほとんど理解できませんでした。案内には、日本語で解説したヘッドホンが使用出来ると書いてあったので、尋ねると英語オンリーとのこと。単純な海底の景色を見ているだけで、飽きてしまいました。

It started with a great day, very little wind which made the water very calm. Boat rode out was smooth, and finally arriving to the cage we were immediately greeted with sharks, and not just any sharks but 3 TIGER SHARKS!!. I know that TIGERS are rare for the area but the fact that 3 were there for the entire dive was amazing. The crew were awesome in ensuring that everyone was calm and answered any questions. I definitely recommend and would love to dive again

Amazing experience for the four of us (mum, dad & two teenage boys!). The crew has the right balance of humour, sensitivity & business like manner! The snorkelling experience was just phenomenal, one of the best experiences of our lives! Captured on go-pro, so a memory we can re-live time & time again!

To be the first time snorkeling for the whole family, it was amazing. We had the opportunity to be only party that day so we practically had a private tour the whole boat for ourselves. My husband and girls had the best time ever.
The whole crew took good care of us 6, one of them stood in the water the whole time making sure we were ok. They provided refreshments and ensured we were ok throughout the whole trip.

The underwater scooter adventure seemed like a great idea, particularly for my wife, who doesn't like snorkeling because of having the breathing tube in her mouth. This diving-bell style system seemed like the perfect solution. It worked, but there were some major issues. Start with the boat, which is small and when moored to the dive area bobs like a cork in the ocean swells, creating motion issues. The scooter itself has air pumped in constantly, resulting in an ever-changing level of air pressure until the air is forced out. So, your ears are constantly clogging and unclogging like you are descending and ascending in a plane the whole time. You also have no control over where the scooter goes, since it is not really self-propelled. Each scooter is accompanied by a "dive master" who physically pushes you to where the master wants you to go, and who controls when you submerge and when you surface. The marine life is swell, with fish food provided to bring in the fish right up to your helmet. The helmet is also very noisy, with the compressed air machine running, making it unlike snorkeling, which is quiet and peaceful. Bobbing up and down in the current inside the diving bell also produces a lot of motion, so don't eat anything before taking the trip. The crew was nice, but did not provide much instruction about what would happen once under the bell. There are hand signals for the dive master, but you feel very much out of control during the dive. On balance, I would not do this again -- even if I had not gotten seasick.

Be aware that staying in the cage takes a bit more effort than you think, but everyone on our trip managed just fine.

This was an amazing once in a lifetime experience. Highly recommend going on this tour. The moonlight tour would be my recommendation because there are less boats in the cove. The crew on this trip were great and very helpful the entire trip. They had drinks and snacks available when on the boat. The mantas were constant the entire time we were in the water and I was able to get great footage on my GoPro!

The crew was wonderful! We saw dolphins on the way out there which was a nice addition to the shark tour. When we got out to the cage we were met by about 8 sharks that stuck around the entire time we were in the cage. When we were about to leave we were able to get back into the cage because a tiger shark had approached so we got a look at her for a bit.

We had an amazing time on this tour, the guides were knowledgeable, funny and accommodating. My 3 year old got to ride on the party pit and loved seeing the mantas up close. Really appreciated all the extra care the staff took to make sure everyone was supported and felt comfortable. We saw at least half a dozen different rays and our biggest challenge was not touching them when they swam right up to us! Can not recommend this tour enough

Snorkeling was my first experience, but I felt安心 because there were Japanese staff members. We headed to a spot where we could see dolphins by boat and dove into the sea twice, but we couldn't see any dolphins... After changing locations, we finally saw dolphins on the third dive! (And they were so close!!!) I heard that usually, you can see them from the first dive, so maybe our timing was just bad... After that, we moved to a spot with sea turtles and tropical fish, and had some time to play with SUP and slides. The sea was incredibly clear and it was amazing!!! As a side note, I took motion sickness medicine before getting on the boat, but I still felt a bit nauseous... I took some more medicine along the way, so I recommend bringing extra if you're worried about getting sick.
シュノーケリングは初体験でしたが、日本人のスタッフさんが居るので安心です。
イルカの見えるスポットに船で向かい、2度海へダイブしましたがイルカの姿が見えず...
また場所を変えて3度目でしっかりイルカが見れました!(しかも近い!!!)
普段は1回目から見えるそうで、私たちのタイミングが悪かったのかもしれません...。
その後、ウミガメや熱帯魚のいる場所へ移動し、SUPや滑り台などをして遊ぶ時間がありました。
海が凄く透き通ってて最高でした!!!
余談ですが、船に乗る前に、酔い止めを飲みましたが、やっぱり少し酔いました...。
途中で酔い止めを追加して飲んだので、心配な方は多めに持って行くことをオススメします。
Every encounter with the wild animals living in the vast ocean is different, but the excitement when you do meet them is truly special. Thank you for the advice on motion sickness! It's said that taking it once the night before and once again on the morning of the trip works very well, so please give it a try if you can. Mahalo.
大海原を生きる野生の動物たちとの出会いは毎回違いますが、その分出会えた時の感動はひとしおです。
酔い止めのアドバイスもありがとうございます!
前日の夜に一度、当日の朝にもう一度飲む2度のみの方法もよく効くと評判ですのでよろしければ試してみてくださいね。
