Hawaii
Since it was December, the water was cold, and while you can rent a wetsuit, they only provide short-sleeved tops, so I think it's better to bring long-sleeved swimwear if you're going during the colder season. I want to try this experience during a warmer time next time. Swimming with sea turtles is the best!! My husband is not a strong swimmer, but he enjoyed snorkeling, so I think snorkeling is fine even for those who are not good at swimming. If you are going by car, please be careful about parking. There is a short-term parking lot nearby for boat transfers, so make sure not to get it wrong.
１２月だったため、水が冷たくて、ウェットスーツは、借りれるのですが、半袖の上着のみなので、寒い時期に行かれる方は、長袖の水着とかを持参したほうがいいと思います。今度はあったかい時期に体験してみたいです。ウミガメと泳げるのは最高です！！主人は、泳ぎが苦手なのですが、スヌーバ楽しんでいたので、泳ぎが苦手な方でも、スヌーバは大丈夫だと思います。車で行かれる場合は、駐車場に気をつけてください。船送迎用の短時間の駐車場がそばにあるので、間違えないように気をつけてください。

I really enjoyed this cruise with my wife. We went on an afternoon cruise and had burgers for lunch. It was a different experience having lunch on a cruise after snorkeling. The staff was very nice and friendly and made sure we enjoyed and had fun. If we go back to Hawaii, then will definitely take this cruise again.
Had a great time!
The Japanese staff provides explanations, so it's reassuring. Near the coast of Molokini Island, the former volcanic crater is deep, yet the water is highly transparent. There are many fish and corals, and with a float, even beginners won't sink, allowing you to just dip your face in and see underwater clearly. At the turtle point, I could see sea turtles right below me, and from the boat, I was able to spot turtles popping their heads out of the water.
日本人スタッフがいて説明をしてくれるので安心。
モロキニ島の海岸近くは、元火山の火口で深い、それなのに透明度の高いこと。魚も沢山、サンゴも沢山、浮きを付ければ初心者でも沈まないので顔を漬けるだけで水中が手の取るように。
ウミガメポイントではウミガメが真下に、船からは顔を出したウミガメを見ることが出来た。

It was a nice trip to molokini, the water there was so clear compare to other snorkeling spots. Although the wave there was turning larger at the end and we did not see too much fish. The staff was very helpful and experienced in helping people in the water.
Another destination was turtle town and we did enjoyed our fantastic turtle-experiences.
I would definetely recommend people to go there, but possibly earlier time (We took off around 8am).
I went to the beach during Golden Week, but it seems there was a low-pressure system, so we weren't blessed with sunshine...
Without the sunlight, the water temperature was low and very cold, and it didn't feel like we were in Hawaii, which was really disappointing.
We did see a sea turtle, but the water clarity was low, so it felt like just a silhouette. There were also people snorkeling who were chasing the sea turtle, so it might have been murky...
When we arrived, there were only two Japanese couples, so it was just the right amount of people without being crowded.
GWに行って海に入りましたが、低気圧が居た？らしく太陽には恵まれなかった…
日差しがない分、水温も低くとても寒かったし、ハワイに来た感じはしなくて、めっちゃ残念でした。
ウミガメには会えましたが、水の透明度が低くてシルエットだけって感じでした。
スヌーバしている人もウミガメを追いかけていたので、濁っている感じだったのかも…
私たちが来たときは日本人はカップルの二人で計四人でがやがせずちょうどよかったです。

The cruise started off with a simple but nice breakfast and coffee. The staff is great and very friendly. The boat is also very large and roomy. Things went downhill when halfway to molokini it was announced the wind was to high and we were going to a second location. We got to this location about an hour into the cruise and went out snorkeling. I hate to say it, but it was DISSAPOINTING. We had better snorkeling at the beach outside our hotel. We stayed in this location for several hours, but after about 1 hour we had seen everything. We got back on the boat and they had a great lunch, tons of food. Then we just sat around for 2 hours waiting for all the children on the boat to finish up. On a side note, it seemed like the kids all enjoyed it. Personally, for this amount of money, it would be nice if they mentioned they dont always go to Molokin and offered some kind of rebate. Additionally, they need a better location to go as a backup plan. Obvioulsy our trip was differen
Last September, my family of three participated in the tour. There was a Japanese guide on the boat that departed from Maalaea Bay, which made us feel at ease. The water around Molokini Island was incredibly clear, and we were able to see a variety of colorful fish, making us lose track of time. It was also great that during snorkeling, we could enter the water and get back on the boat at our own pace.
Although it was September, the sea temperature was lower than expected, so we rented wetsuits on the boat.
昨年９月に、家族３人で参加させていただきました。マアラエア湾より出航した船中にも、日本人ガイドさんがいて安心して参加できました。モロキニ島の水は驚くほど透明で、色とりどりの魚を見ることが出来、時間を忘れてしまいます。またシュノーケルの時は、自分のペースで海に入ったり船に上がったりすることが出来たのが良かったです。
*）９月でしたが海水温は思ったより低く、船内でウエットスーツをレンタルしました。

Molokini Island, known for its snorkeling visibility, was a place I had always wanted to visit.
On the day of my visit, the wind was a bit strong and the waves were rough, but the visibility was outstanding! I also experienced snuba! As someone who struggles with equalizing my ears, I was satisfied, but my friend who has a diving license seemed a bit underwhelmed. This activity might be more suitable for beginners since it's easier than experience diving.
From the boat, I was able to see a sea turtle swimming by. Along the way, I was lucky enough to encounter a pod of dolphins.
The water temperature during Golden Week is quite cold. For those who are sensitive to the cold, a wetsuit is essential! The crew, including the Japanese staff, were cheerful and kind, which made me feel at ease.
シュノーケルの透明度で知られるモロキニ島は、一度行きたかった場所。
当日は、やや風が強く波も荒かったが、それでも透明度は抜群!!
スヌーバーも体験! 耳抜きの苦手な私は満足できたが、ダイビングライセンスを持つ友人は、少し物足りなかった様子。こちらは、体験ダイビングより簡単なので、初心者向きなのかもしれない。
船の上から、泳いできたウミガメを観ることができた。途中、イルカの群れにも遭遇でき、ラッキーだったと思う。
GWの水温はかなり冷たい。寒がりな日本人には、ウェットが必須!!
クルーも、日本人スタッフも明るく優しいので、安心でした。

We took advantage of the opportunity to try snuba. Jamie was great! He helped us feel comfortable very quickly so that we could enjoy ourselves. He was a perfect tour guide under the water, pointing out unique bits of corral and things living within the corral, dusting things off as we went.
The Captain worked hard to help us find unique and interesting things to see as we sailed - made for great pictures and gave us a better understanding of the wildlife and the environment they live in.
The crew on board were fantastic hosts! So helpful and cheerful! They all worked really hard to make sure we were safe and happy and well fed...all with a smile! We really appreciated all of their efforts to make us welcome!
Mahalo! Mahalo! Mahalo!
We just took this trip last week and had a great time. This was our first time snorkeling and the staff was so helpful in getting our gear ready and giving us pointers on what to do to make the most of our snorkeling adventure. We did see whales, dolphins and sea turtles!! The lunch was great! I would definitely make this a stop for us again in the future.
The snorkeling was great with clear waters and lots of fish, and we even saw sea turtles up close. We spotted whales too, the hamburgers were delicious, and the snooba was good. But the best part was definitely the boat ride back. The wind was strong and we got soaked from the splashes, but it felt like riding a roller coaster at an amusement park, and it was so much fun. I want to go again next time.
シュノーケルは海はきれいで魚がたくさん、海亀も一杯近くで見れました。鯨も見れたし、ハンバーガーはおいしいし、スヌーバも良かった。けどなんといっても一番良かったのは帰りの船。風が強く波しぶきでビショビショになりましたがほとんど遊園地のコースターに乗ってる感覚で凄く楽しめました。
また次回も行きたいです。

We saw lots of dolphins, 5 turtles, and many whales swimming around our boat!!! Best trip ever!!! We def will do it again!!!
It was my first time snorkeling. The sudden experience in the deep sea was quite a challenge. It was a bit disappointing that the water was cold and there weren't many fish, but I encountered turtles and whales, and I thoroughly enjoyed the attentive service from the staff and the delicious meals.
初めてのスノーケリングでした。いきなりの深海での体験は凄く度胸がいりました。水が冷たくてあまり魚がいなかったのは残念ですが、亀にも鯨にも遭遇し、スタッフのきめ細かな対応や食事の美味しさで、充分堪能しました。

Our family of 4 enjoyed this trip so much! We had a bit of trouble finding the boat (not the marina) due to construction and limited parking, but once we walked on board, it was fun and relaxing. The people are terrific and you can tell they love their jobs being on that boat-very friendly and entertaining. Breakfast muffins, bagels, fruit and coffee were available as the boat took us out to Molokini (about 30 mins.) and an enormous whale leaped right in front of the boat! There were many more to be seen that day but it want an exciting start. Molokini was not overrated! Underwater Discovery Channel complete with tons of colorful fish, strange anemones and even a purple jelly fish. It was so beautiful against the wall of the crater. I swam back to the boat quickly to buy the $25, reusable underwater camera because it was so magical. The pix came out great! My 7 year old was nervous at first b/c she'd never snorkled, but the crew worked with her 1-on-1, made her laugh, gave her a noodle
My husband and I recently went on the afternoon snorkeling cruise on the Four Winds and it was fantastic! The price was spot on and we felt it was the best value for our money of any activity we did. The cruise was very safe and very fun too. We went during January and we got the added perk of seeing the humpback whales. It was such a great added bonus that we didn't have to take a whale watching cruise in addition. The crew was so friendly and embraced the laid back Hawaiian attitude. The Captain was very knowledgeable about the whales and gave us lots of information while we were watching them. The wet suit add on (for $5) was also a good thing to get as it helped me not to be quite so cold in the water. The optional lunch for $7 was also a decent quality as you could choose from chicken, burgers, hot dogs, or bar-b-que as well as chips. The complementary sodas, beer and wine were also pretty nice. They also had a hose with a shower nozzle on board so you could rinse off af
This was my son's first snuba experience and he loved it. He's 9 and didn't have any trouble. The guide, Jamie, was awesome.
The crew, especially Captain John, was also great. We even spotted some whale during the excursion.
I'd recommend it to anyone.
I participated alone this time, but there were two pairs of women as well. Additionally, there were two Japanese guides, which made me feel secure while enjoying snorkeling and snuba.
As for seasickness, I took some motion sickness medication just before departure, but I didn't feel sick and was able to enjoy myself. Regarding the water temperature, it can be quite cold during this season, so I recommend renting a wetsuit. I wore a swimsuit underneath and put on a wetsuit over it, but I still started to feel cold, so it was a race against time.
I was able to see two sea turtles up close, which was very enjoyable. There were also many fish swimming around, and some people even saw a manta ray. The breakfast and lunch on the boat were delicious, and I was satisfied with the tour since I could enjoy beer and Mai Tai on the way back.
Snuba is an optional activity, and for some reason, only the five of us Japanese signed up for it. It was quite fun as you can dive down about 3 meters, so I recommend it. Thank you very much to the two female guides!
私は今回一人での参加だったのですが、他に女性のペアが二組いらっしゃいました。また、日本人ガイドの方も二人いらっしゃったので安心してシュノーケリングとスヌーバを楽しむことができました。
船酔いについては念のため酔い止めを出発するあたりで飲んでおきましたが、酔うことはなく楽しむことができました。次に水温ですが、この時期はけっこう冷たいのでボディースーツ？をレンタルすることをおすすめします。私は水着上下を着ていて、その上にボディースーツを着用しましたが、それでもだんだんと身体が冷えてきたので時間との戦いです。
ウミガメは二匹を間近で見ることができてとても楽しかったです。魚もたくさん泳いでいましたし、マンタを見れた方もいたそうです。船上での朝食とランチも美味しくいただきましたし、帰りはビールやＭＡＩ−ＴＡＩを飲めたので満足できるツアーでした。
スヌーバはオプションで、申し込んだのはどういうわけか私達日本人５名だけでした。３ｍくらい下まで潜れるのでけっこう楽しかったですしおすすめですよ。
お二人の女性ガイドの方、大変ありがとうございました！

On the day of the event, due to strong winds, we couldn't go to Molokini Island and were taken to a different spot. I felt reassured that the staff spoke Japanese from the hotel pickup. I thought it might be cold, but after borrowing a wetsuit, we were ready to go! The staff member, Takako, was very helpful, especially since most of us were beginners. At the second spot, we encountered sea turtles, which was very satisfying. The water temperature was not as low as I expected, and I had a wonderful time swimming with many fish. Although the activities depend on the weather, we were taken to two spots, and we had plenty of time at each, so it really felt like we swam a lot. I had a blister on my foot from traveling, so I couldn't wear fins, but the staff provided precise instructions about safety, which I greatly appreciated. I had snorkeling experience in Australia before, but thanks to Takako, I had a really enjoyable time this time. Looking back, I wish I had borrowed a camera; it would have been nice to have more information on how to take pictures during the camera rental explanation. I was worried about dropping it, so I didn't borrow one, but now I regret not doing so. The big cookies and the hamburgers cooked on the boat were delicious, and I would love to experience this again. Thank you!
11/27当日は、強風で結局モロキニ島には行けず違うスポットへ案内してもらいました。ホテルのピックアップから日本語の通じるスタッフの方で安心でした。寒いかなと思いましたが、ウエットスーツを借り、いざ！ スタッフのTAKAKOさん、ほぼ初心者ぞろいだったと思うのですが、いろいろ細かく教えて下さりありがとうございました。二番目のスポットではウミガメとも遭遇でき、大満足。思ったより水温も低くなく、たくさんのお魚たちとランデブーいたしました。その日の天候に左右されるアクティビティーですが、二か所のスポットへ連れて行って頂き、各々の時間も充分だったので、「泳いだー」って感じでした。旅行中足にできた靴ずれで足ひれがつけられなかったのですが、足ひれがないと流されるからと的確な指示を下さり、安全に留意頂き大変お世話になりました。以前オーストラリアでシュノーケリングの経験がありましたが、今回のTAKAKOさんのおかげで、とっても楽しく過ごせました。あとになってみると、カメラを借りておけばよかったなと思いました、カメラのレンタルの説明の時に撮り方（きっと簡単なんでしょうけれど）とか、どんな写真が撮れるかとかもう少し教えてもらえたらよかったかな、借りて落っことしちゃったら困るかななんて考えて借りませんでしたが、やっぱり借りとけばよかったなと後悔しきり。おっきなクッキーや船上で焼いてくれたハンバーガーも美味しかったです、また体験したいです、ありがとう！

We have been on three or four other snorkel trips in Hawaii and this is by the far the best. The ship is in excellent condition, and the skipper and crew were friendly and knowledgeable. They made it a wonderful time for all on board! They even stopped during their regular trip to show us spinner dolphins (twice) and an early season whale.
I recommend it.
It's very beautiful and has high transparency.
I would like to participate again if I go to Maui.
おすすめです。
とてもきれいで透明度が高い。
またマウイに行ったら参加したいオプショナルです。

This is a Fantastic way to spend 1/2 of a day. The crew and Captain couldn't have been any nicer or more informative. The ride out to the dive/snorkeling site was fairly short, and the snorkeling was awesome. My husband really enjoyed the snubbing, I tried, but was unable to actually do it, the instructor tried her best to help me, but after several attempts I decided to stick with the snorkeling, which worked for me, because as I stated, it was awesome. We saw lots of beautiful fish. The second site they took us to had several turtles, and even more beautiful fish the closer you ventured into the coral. They provided a nice lunch, and continental breakfast. I had booked this activity a month or so in advance, and was really looking forward to it...I was not disappointed.
The staff of Aqua Adventures were professional, friendly, and very confidence inspiring. We felt completely safe and able to enjoy ourselves without any worries. From the moment we checked in, they set a tone of relaxation and fun that carried through to the very end. Oh, and the Maitais were amazing :)
Had a lot of fun
We went on our honeymoon.
On the day, there were only four Japanese people, including us, and just one Japanese staff member.
They were very kind and taught us a lot, like saying we could be the first to enter if we lined up here, and that it would be better to do this first. They were very considerate.
I'm not very good at swimming, but since there are wetsuits available, even if I get carried away while snorkeling, they monitor us from above in a canoe, guiding us to make sure we don't stray too close to the island.
新婚旅行で行きました。
当日は、日本人が私たち含めて４名しかいなかったので、
日本人スタッフは一人。
とっても親切にしてくださって、ここに並んでたら一番に入れるよ~とか、これは先にしておいたほうがいいよ~ってたくさん教えてくれたし、気を使ってくれました。
あまり泳ぎが得意ではないけど、ウェットスーツもあるし、
シュノーケルに夢中で流されても、カヌーで上から監視してくれてるので、ちゃんとはぐれないように、島に近づき過ぎないように誘導してくれます。

I haven't ever SCUBA'd and this is as close as one could get with little to no experience snorkeling or diving. The staff was top notch in their customer service. There are some other tours out there for a bit less money but they have so many people on their tour. Aqua Adventures was amazing in that the smaller tour (mine was about 20 some people) allowed for a more personal experience. I would do it again. I had plenty of time at two locations to SNUBA and snorkel. The fresh sandwiches and not too sweet mai thais (sp?) were great. Thanks AA for the awesome time!
I loved this! I originally signed up for scuba and that was done away with but the snuba was okay! Enjoyed the day great the crew was awesome and the food was excellent!
Had a great time. The employees were awesome. We expected to see more colorful fish, but we didn't. The experience with the Snuba was great, though.
No dolphins!! Which was the main reason we choose this tour. Staff was OK nothing special. Captain didn't give much info about our surroundings. Snorkling was great. Captain did take us to two wonderful spots. Grilled hamburgers on board were Great? But overall trip was just so so.
Definitely do the Snuba! We was so many turtles at the second dive site. The first site was great for getting used to Snuba and seeing some interesting fish. One of the kids from the family on board with us saw a shark even!
There were so many turtles at the "cleaning stations" for the second dive site. They were popping up to breathe near the boat before we even got in the water! We got underwater cameras on the boat as well. The diver guiding us through the snuba snapped some closeup pictures of the turtles for us! Such a great experience!
The crew was fantastic. It was a smaller boat, so it wasn't like a cattle call getting on and off the boat. The captain even went out of his way on the way back so that we could see some whales! We got to see 6 whales total on the trip! Great experience! Great crews! I couldn't recommend this particular tour enough. Tremendous value for the money and a crew that was so much fun!
