I went three years ago, but since I'm not good at swimming, I gave up on snorkeling. The staff at that time seemed to suggest that people who can't swim shouldn't do it. This time, I went with my husband and decided to challenge myself, but it was still a bit scary... At that moment, a staff member encouraged me to hold onto the board. I was able to see fish and even encountered a sea turtle. I was able to get my revenge from three years ago. Thank you very much.
3年前にも行ったのですが泳ぎが苦手なのでシュノーケリングは諦めました。その時のスタッフさんは泳げない人はやらないでって感じでした。
今回は夫と行ったので挑戦したのですがやはり少し怖い…そんな時にスタッフのお姉さんがボードに捕まって良いと声をかけてくれました。
お魚も見れたし、海亀にも出会えました。
3年前のリベンジが出来ました。
本当にありがとうございました。

Molokini Island had calm waves and high visibility, and I thoroughly enjoyed snorkeling. Perhaps I had high expectations, as there were fewer types of fish than I had anticipated. When we moved to the second spot, I encountered a large turtle. The Japanese staff were always watching over us, so I felt safe while snorkeling. The meals provided for breakfast and lunch were delicious.
モロキニ島は波も穏やかで透明度も高く、シュノーケリングを満喫しました、期待しすぎたか、魚の種類は思っていたよりかは少なかったか。
二番目のポイントに移動したら大きなカメに遭遇しました。
日本人スタッフが常に見ていてくれたので安心してシュノーケリングが出来ました。
朝昼の食事が着いていて美味しかったです。

It was a mountain on par with Mount Fuji, but with toilet breaks included, we gradually acclimated to the altitude and reached the summit without any issues. The clouds were thick, and I was worried, but by sunset, it cleared up quite a bit, allowing us to see a fantastic sunset. After it got completely dark, the guide pointed out the sky with a laser pointer, creating a truly natural planetarium experience. They also provided a high-quality telescope, through which we could clearly see Saturn's rings and the craters on the moon. Thank you very much.
富士山クラスの山でしたが、トイレ休憩含め、高度に少しずつ慣らしながら連れて行ってくれたので何の問題もなく山頂まで到着。
雲が厚く、心配しましたがサンセット時にはだいぶ晴れ、幻想的な夕陽を見ることが出来ました。
そして真っ暗になってからはポインターで空を指しながらの解説で正に天然のプラネタリウムでした。
高級な望遠鏡も用意頂き、土星の輪っかや月のクレーターなどもはっきり見ることが出来ました。

The crew with Captain David was awesome! Very friendly and made sure we felt comfortable and safe on the way out to the cage, during the encounter, and on our way back to the dock. We were lucky to see 4 tiger sharks as we arrived. This was a bucket list item for me snd the crew made it all that more memorable. Would recommend booking with this company for your future shark encounters!

We participated with two adults and two children aged seven. Since we can't speak English, we hoped there would be Japanese staff, and we were pleased to find that there were indeed Japanese staff members. The explanations for activities like snorkeling were provided separately in Japanese and English, which made us feel very comfortable participating.
In particular, Yukiko, the Japanese staff member, was very kind to us. Thank you very much.
We were thrilled to see many turtles from the boat, and during snorkeling, we were lucky enough to encounter a turtle and swim together for a while. The hamburgers for lunch were also very delicious.
It was truly a satisfying tour. If we have the opportunity, we would love to participate again.
大人2人と7歳の子供2人で参加しました。
英語が話せないので日本の方が居ればいいなぁ〜と思い参加しましたが、ちゃんと日本人スタッフもいて、シュノーケリングなどの説明も日本人と英語圏の方と分けての説明がありとても安心して参加できました。
中でも日本人スタッフのユキコさんにはとても良くしていただきました。
ありがとうございます。
船の上からたくさんの亀に会えて大興奮の後のシュノーケリングでも、運良く亀に会えてしばらく一緒に泳ぐことができました。

I was able to see a lot of sea turtles! The beautiful ocean and comfortable water temperature reminded me of my student days, and I was captivated by the fish, coral reefs, and the turtles. My three daughters, who were experiencing ocean leisure for the first time, initially said they couldn't touch the bottom, but they quickly got used to it and had an amazing time. We got plenty of great photos.
You need to take off your shoes when boarding. It's barefoot inside the boat. The luggage storage is just a case-like area, so it's best not to leave valuables behind. While you're having fun, you can come and go freely even without staff around, so self-management is important. The only money you'll need is for tips; there was also a paid shower, but we didn't have time to change and ended up getting on the shuttle bus in our wet swimsuits. We did put down a towel, but no one said anything about it.
The explanations are in English, but there are staff members who speak Japanese well, which is reassuring.
When the wind blew the float away, the staff went to retrieve it, and during snorkeling, we moved in groups with staff, so it felt safe, and they pointed out the turtle spots. The snacks on the boat were a nice treat during breaks. Although I didn't use it, there was also a restroom on board. Of course, you can use the parking lot restroom before boarding. It was a lot of fun.
ホヌ、たくさん見れましたよ!
きれいな海と水温も心地よく、50代の私も学生の頃を思い出して水中の魚や珊瑚礁、ホヌさんに夢中でした。海レジャー初体験の娘3人も、初めは足がつかない〜って言ってましたが、すぐに慣れてめちゃくちゃ楽しめました。いい写真いっぱいです。
乗船の時に履き物脱ぎます。船の中は裸足です。
荷物置き場は衣裳ケースみたいなものに入れて置くだけなので、貴重品できるだけ置いて行かない方がいいです。遊んでる間、休憩したりとスタッフいなくても出入り自由なので自己管理を。
お金を使うのはチップくらいで有料シャワーもあったようですが、私たちは着替える時間なくて送迎車に濡れたままの水着で乗りました。いちおうタオルひきましたが、特に何も言われないです。
説明は英語ですが、日本語上手なスタッフもいて安心です。
風で浮き輪が流された時も、スタッフが取りにいってくださったり、シュノーケリングもかたまって移動し、スタッフも一緒なので、安心だし、ホヌポイント教えてくれます。
船のお菓子も休憩時にはうれしかったです。
利用してませんが船上にお手洗いもついてましたよ。もちろん、乗船前に駐車場トイレに行けます。
楽しかったです。

At first I was a bit disappointed because we thought they have forgotten about us,only to find out that they were waiting for us in the other hotel roundabout-there was a little misunderstanding with the pick up location. Our hotel and the next door hotel names are almost the same.Other than that,the trip was amazing. At first,it was all covered by clouds and fog but our guide did not give up and tell us to wait a little longer. True enough..while all have left,we stayed to witness the sunrise. It was amazing! Our guide did not disappoint us!
Aloha! Sorry about the confusion on your pick-up. It can get a bit confusing with hotel names. Happy that you enjoyed the majesty of seeing the Sun rise from Mauna Haleakala.

Honestly, my expectations for this tour was not high. Reviews seemed mixed all around (i.e., Yelp, Google, etc.) and what I "really" wanted was the tour that had all the additional activities, i.e., banana boat, stand-up paddle board, but it was completely booked. However, the experience on this specific tour was sooooo much better that I anticipated. I booked the reservation for 17 (14 adults + 3 children), with most visiting from the East Coast mainland with even quite a handful of locals for which this was their first time to Sandbar, and they were more than accommodating to our large party. At first, I thought the time allocation was too short for each excursion (1. Sandbar (1-hr), 2. Turtle watching (15 min.); 3. Snorkeling (1-hr)), but it was perfect! Any longer and it would have felt drawn out. The lunch tasted better than I expected. Not too little and definitely not too much (otherwise the kids would have vomitted!). So don't be discouraged by it JUST being a BBQ burger -- you'll be pleasantly surprised. Drinks were available on board - non-alcoholic (free) and alcoholic ($5 each) and they had quite a variety so don't worry about being parched! The boat staff was super energetic and had a really cool vibe. They informed you ahead of time of all the do's and don'ts and was always available to answer any and all questions and concerns. And lastly, the Captain really made the trip memorable! He was a lot of fun and you just knew he loved his job. The weather was perfect, so that too, helped to make the day. Overall, it was a very memorable experience and I look forward to recommending this tour package to the rest of our family and friends, local and visiting.

Since it was my first time and I was alone, I chose a private lesson. A Japanese instructor accompanied me. After a very simple lesson on land, we headed straight to the sea. Towards the end, paddling was a bit tough, but I had plenty of time to enjoy it. However, there weren't many instructions, so a private lesson might not have been necessary.
初めてで、1人だったのでプライベートを選びました。日本人のインストラクターがついてくれました。非常簡単な陸でのレッスンの後、すぐに海へ。最後の方パドルがきつかったですが、時間たっぷり楽しめました。ただインストラクションはあまり多くなかったので、プライベートにする必要はなかったかもしれません。

I didn't realize how difficult it would be, and paddling out to the waves was so exhausting.
It was hard, but I had a great time.
Surfing is indeed challenging.
However, if I can experience it even a little, I might get hooked.
I learned the difference between surfing and bodyboarding.
The local instructor was seasoned, kind, and friendly, which made it enjoyable as well.
It became a wonderful memory.
