First, we had some free time at the sandbar. We took pictures together, and the staff took photos with a GoPro. It seems we can get those photos from the website about a week later. After that, we went snorkeling to see fish and sea turtles. However, the water was quite murky, so there weren't many fish, and the turtles were only visible from a distance.
Afterward, we had lunch. There was meat, fruit, and snacks, along with warm tomato soup and coffee to help us warm up after being in the cold sea.
Then we had more free time, where we played with the paddleboards, floats, and beach volleyball. At the end, a turtle came close to the shallow water near the boat, allowing us to see it up close. It was a lot of fun!
まずはサンドバーで自由に過ごす時間がありました。みんなで写真を撮ったり、スタッフの方がゴープロで撮影してくれました。1週間後くらいにホームページからその写真ももらえるらしいです。そのあとは、シュノーケルで魚やウミガメを見ました。ただ、海が結構濁っていて、魚も少なく、ウミガメもぼんやり見えるくらいでした。
そのあとは昼食です。肉やフルーツ、お菓子もあって海で冷えた体にあったまるトマトスープやコーヒーなどもありました。
そのあとはまた自由時間で、ザップやうきわ、ビーチバレーをして遊びました。最後は船の近くの浅瀬までカメが寄ってきてくれて触れるような距離で見ることができました。とても楽しかったです!

I was able to see sea turtles! Since it was the rainy season, the visibility was a bit unclear, but the weather was nice, the sandbar was very beautiful, and I saw a lot of fish! It became a great memory, and I'm glad I participated! The shuttle bus was cold, so a jacket is a must! There weren't many places to put luggage or eat on the boat since it was crowded. Those who were able to put their bags on the bench first had to eat standing up. Isn’t there too many people on one tour...? The staff were all cheerful and very nice!
海ガメが見れました!
雨季とゆうこともあり透明度は微妙でしたが、良い天気で サンドバーもとても綺麗で魚もたくさん見れました!良い思い出になり参加してよかったです!送迎は大型バス寒いです。
上着必須!船には人がたくさん乗るので荷物を置くところ、ご飯を食べる所があまりないです。最初にベンチに荷物を置けた人以外ご飯も立ったままでした。1回のツアーに人を乗せすぎでは…? スタッフの方は皆さん明るく良い方ばかりでした!

I was able to see dolphins, turtles, and even whales in the distance. However, it was disappointing that towards the end of snorkeling, while I was in the restroom, my gear was put away, and I wanted to swim a bit longer.
イルカや亀、遠くでしたがクジラも見れました。ただシュノーケリングの最後の方でトイレに入っていたら、道具が片されてしまいもう少し泳ぎたかったのが残念でした。
Thank you for participating in the tour. We are sorry for the unfortunate moments despite your enjoyment. We will share your comments with the boat crew.

I participated in an all-Hawaii cruise tour. I joined because I was longing to see the beautiful sandbars like in the pictures, but unfortunately, the water was deeper than knee-high... And above all, it was very cold since it was March. The snorkeling was quite chilly due to the low seawater temperature. However, the delicious BBQ lunch made up for those downsides! The tour guide was also very nice. When I go to Hawaii again, I will definitely try to get my sandbar revenge with this company.
オールハワイ・クルーズのツアーに参加しました。写真で見るようなキレイなサンドバーに憧れての参加でしたが残念ながら膝丈以上の深さ、、、。そして何より3月ということもあり非常に寒かった。シュノーケリングも海水温が非常に低く凍える寒さ。しかしそのマイナス面を補ってくれるBBQランチの美味さ!!そして添乗員さんも非常に良い方でした。またハワイに行く際はこちらの会社でサンバーリベンジします。

Second time I have used this tour to get to and from Hanauma Bay. Especially a great value if you already have your own snorkeling equipment as you can take the price down a few dollars without equipment rental.
Go first thing in the morning and be ready to get into the water by 8am or earlier. That way you can snorkel without the crowds until the circus arrives around 10am. By then I had already gotten 2 full hours of relatively unspoiled pics of all that I wanted to take and enjoyed lounging on the beach until the pickup time.

For a quick tour where you will more than likely run into several honu, the Mana Kai Catamaran morning snorkel is a great value. We not only ran into 5-6 large honu at the shell cleaning station, we also found a pod of spinner dolphins. The captain careful followed the dolphins at a safe distance, so we managed to snap some great pics.
Will definitely do again upon my next return!

Trip was really fun. I was afraid of getting sea sick but the water was calm. I’ve been on many snorkel trips in Hawaii and Cabo San Lucas that take you out on a boat for 5 hours or so and provide lunch. Those I felt were way too long and you lose half the day. This one was only about 2.5 hours in the morning which was perfect. We had our 10 year old son with us and his attention span is short and he tires out after 30 minutes of snorkeling. Best part was we got on and off the boat at Waikiki Beach and did not have to drive to a harbor so we saved another hour or so. We saw lots of turtles right away and our son loved snorkeling with the turtles even though he was not a good swimmer. They provide life vests to everyone. I highly recommend going on this tour.

I participated with my mother. The guide stayed close to my mother, who had trouble with her breathing technique, which allowed both of us to enjoy snorkeling with peace of mind. The guide was very knowledgeable about the fish spots, so we were able to see a variety of fish efficiently, which was great. The fish swam very close to us and were beautiful.
However, it happened to be a very cold day, so I gave it one star less. The tour itself was excellent.
母と二人で参加。上手く息継ぎできない母にずっとついてくださって、私も母も安心してシュノーケリングを楽しめました。魚のポイントもよくご存じなので、様々な種類の魚を効率よく見れて良かったです。魚もすぐ近くに泳いでいてとてもきれいでした。
たまたま、この日は非常に寒かったので星を一つとりました。ツアー自体は最高でした。
Dear Peach, thank you for joining us again with your mother for the second time. We were very happy to have you back. Although the conditions had some waves that day, the visibility was good and there were plenty of fish, allowing your mother to enjoy herself until the end. This winter in Hawaii has been quite chilly, with water temperatures dropping below 21 degrees on some days, so we had you wear wetsuits, but I apologize for the cold.
Please do come back during a warmer season next time. We look forward to seeing you again. Thank you very much. Mahalo!!
ピーチ様、この度はお母様とお二人で2回目のご参加ありがとうございます。リピートしていただけてとても嬉しかったです。この日は少し波ありコンディションではありましたが、透明度もよく魚もいっぱいで最後までお母様にもがんばっていただけました。この冬のハワイは結構寒く水温も21度を下回る日もあったりしていますので、ウェットスーツは着ていただきましたが、それでも寒くてごめんなさいね。
是非次回はもうちょっと暖かいシーズンにお越しくださいね。またお会いできるのを楽しみにしております。
本当にありがとうございました。Mahalo!!

My sister and I signed up for the tour, and on the day of the tour, there were four participants including two foreigners. The weather was completely different from the rain the day before; it was clear and relatively warm. Although there weren't large schools of fish, we saw some swimming around, which was very enjoyable! Additionally, we miraculously encountered a sea turtle, which was incredibly moving :) According to our guide, it had been about a month since the last sighting…! I was so happy. The water temperature was cold even with a wetsuit, and it was a bit murky when diving, possibly due to the rain the day before, but I was very satisfied. Our guide, Chieko, was cheerful and friendly, making it a very enjoyable tour. Thank you!
姉妹2人でツアーに申し込み、当日は外国人2名も合わせて4名の参加でした。この日は前日の雨とは打って変わって快晴で比較的あたたかく、大群とはいきませんでしたがお魚さんもそこらで泳いでいてとても楽しかったです!また、奇跡的にウミガメにも遭遇でき、大変感動しました:) ガイドさんによれば1ヶ月ぶりぐらいだとか…!嬉しかったです。水温はウェットスーツを着ていても冷たく、前日の雨のせいか潜ると少し白んでいましたがとても満足です。ガイドのちえこさんも明るく気さくに話してくださりとても楽しいツアーになりましたありがとうございました!
Thank you for joining the tour with Blue Hawaii Divers. It was truly a beautiful day with clear blue skies and perfect ocean weather. Recently, it has often been the case that we haven't been able to see the turtles unless we go further out, but today, we were really lucky to find them in a very visible spot inside the keyhole! It had been a long time since I last saw them here. Unfortunately, the turtles were too busy eating to come up to the surface, but I believe you were able to observe them well. I'm really glad you enjoyed it.
If you have the opportunity, please consider repeating the tour together. I would love to take you further out next time. It's very beautiful there.
Thank you very much. Mahalo!!

Dan was a fabulous professional instructor and guide for us!! It was our first snorkel, my husband and I, age 58. We can swim but no one would say we're strong swimmers hence we decided upon an instructor/guide, and Dan's the very best.
We didn't plan to do the wet suits but thank goodness Dan had them available. It was low tide and the protection over the coral in shallow water was invaluable, besides the warmth and buoyancy it offered. (the water was a little cooler than we expected) Dan literally held my hand while snorkeling so i could simply relax and float and watch for fish. He guided us over coral I'd have never have done otherwise, and those were the best places to see the fish. He was so very patient and helpful as I suited up, he fitted my mask and fins, and he was very thorough explaining the snorkel, breathing etc. I'd have never had the same snorkel experience without Dan. He made us feel comfortable and safe, what more could you want?
We had plenty of nice surprises-the tram down and back for example. He provided water and snacks afterward, beach mats, lock box for stuff while in the water, transportation, etc. It feels luxurious when someone's taken care of everything, Dan made that happen and I'm confident he would for you too.
I can't recall the name of Dan's helper but she too was top notch. When snorkeling it's sometimes hard to know which direction you're headed, let alone the tide steering you. I don't really know how Dan and her managed to keep track of us, both above and below water simultaneously but they did, keeping us together, seeing and pointing out the best things possible during the snorkel.
Dan wants you to have a great experience. You will, like we did, I'm sure. If we can do it (with Dan's help) you can too!
PS Dan takes pictures of you for you. Can't wait to see ours!

The weather wasn't perfectly clear, but the sea was beautiful. I thought I had chosen a day with low water levels for the sandbar by researching in advance, but there was still water up to my knees. However, I was satisfied because I was able to see sea turtles while snorkeling. The guide was also great, getting everyone excited and actively taking photos, which was a nice service. The only point for improvement would be that since there were quite a few people on the tour, it took some time to gather everyone, and there were moments when we bumped into each other while snorkeling.
天気は快晴ではありませんでしたが、海は綺麗でした。肝心のサンドバーは事前に調べて水位が低い日を選んだつもりですが、膝下くらいまで水があったもののシュノーケリングでウミガメを見ることができ満足です。ガイドさんも盛り上げてくれ写真を積極的にとってくれるなどサービスがよかっったです。唯一改善点としては、ツアー人数がそれなりに多いので集合に時間がかかったりシュノーケリングの時にぶつかったりしたことでしょうか。

Waves were picking up when we left and I'm not a good sailor, so I didnt have any snacks or drinks . Sails were raised and all the crew were very good for the sail around the harbour.

Wow! We had such a good time on the boat this morning. Was convenient to get the boat at 10.30 just after breakfast from right on the beach. Crew were friendly and just a short journey out to Turtle Canyon! The crew were fun and helpful, and when we got to Turtle Canyon we were lucky enough to see 6+ turtles, many fish and the crew/ lifeguard/ guide pointed out a few extra interesting things. We had plenty of time to be in the water looking at the turtles, most people returned to the boy long before they had to and enjoyed a few drinks in a beautiful setting.
We looked out for whales or dolphins on the way back but didn’t get lucky, Aparently they are there though and can sometimes be seen.
They provided life jackets which were good to snorkel with as don’t have to take too much effort to stay floating and can easily deflate if you want to dive down.
Not was not too crowded, we had only about 15 people but they did say they can do up to 49 people and I imagine that would be very crowded!
At turtle canyon there were quite a few other boats but if you were patient it wasn’t that bad in the water snorkeling around, just watch out for any collisions with other swimmers!
The crew were good and kept an eye on us in the water at all times too, letting people know if they were going too far or anything and also pointing out where the turtles are!
In summary, something we would love to do again and would certainly recommend to any other people visiting Hawaii!
There isn’t much shade on the bot was one thing with nothing - so take a hat if it’s a sunny day!
Crew were very generous providing drinks on board too! I’d be surprised if anyone managed to have all three free drinks though after the snorkel (no alcohol before swimming) it’s only 20 mins back to the beach.

There is a dock about an hour from the hotel by shuttle bus, where we take a boat to the sandbar.
The area where the boat arrives at the sandbar was about waist-deep, but in some places, it was shallow enough to reach just below the knees.
While the sand did not emerge above the water's surface, the view was absolutely stunning! It felt surreal to walk in the middle of the ocean.
As soon as we arrived, we were able to see sea turtles swimming near the anchored boats, and during snorkeling, we saw sea turtles resting on the coral and many fish.
The staff spoke Japanese and made the experience very enjoyable.
I’m really glad I participated in the tour.
One thing to note is that this activity is weather-dependent. I participated in February, which is not only the rainy season but also when the water can feel cold. If it’s not sunny, the view may not be as breathtaking. Additionally, the UV rays are strong.
I recommend applying sunscreen, wearing a rash guard, bringing a slightly larger towel to dry off after getting out of the boat, and bringing something like a hoodie to wear.
送迎バスでホテルから1時間ほどのところに船着き場があり、船でサンドバーに向かいます。
サンドバーは、船が到着する場所は腰ぐらいの深さでしたが、場所によっては膝下ぐらいまでになるところもあります。
砂が水面から顔を出すことはありませんでしたが、大絶景!です。
海の真ん中を歩く非日常感。
停泊している船の近くを泳ぐウミガメを到着してすぐに見ることができ、シュノーケリングでは海底のサンゴの上で休んでいるウミガメとたくさんの魚を見ることができました。

注意点としては、天候に左右されるアクティビティであることです。
2月に参加していますが、この時期は雨季であるばかりでなく、海に入ると寒く感じます。
晴れていない時は大絶景とまではいかないかもしれません。
そして、紫外線は強いです。
日焼け止めを塗り、ラッシュガードを着用することと、船から上がったら体をしっかり拭くことができるように少し大きめのタオルを用意すること、パーカー等の羽織る物を持参することをおすすめします。

I participated in February, which is winter and the rainy season in Hawaii. Although the wind felt a bit chilly, the weather was pleasant and enjoyable. Our shuttle bus driver, Pete, had a friendly and relaxing talk in Japanese that made the ride to the port fun from the start.
My partner, who has had ear surgery in the past, was a bit scared of the water, but the supportive staff and the variety of activities helped ease those worries. They explained that the boat would sway due to the wind, and they sold anti-nausea products for those who didn't bring medication or couldn't take it. We purchased some, and they worked very well for us. On our return flight, the plane was quite bumpy, and many people felt nauseous, but thanks to the anti-nausea products we bought, we were fine. It turned out to be a surprisingly good purchase (it's a good idea to bring cash in dollars if you plan to buy).
Once on the boat, our Japanese guide, Izumi, began her explanation. Izumi's explanations were excellent, clearly outlining what to do and what not to do, which was very impressive. We were excited to be there, but she emphasized the importance of following proper etiquette, not putting ourselves in danger, and not enduring discomfort if we felt unwell. She also mentioned that touching sea turtles incurs a fine of 350,000 yen. It was truly educational, as she provided explanations not found in the guidebook about protecting the environment for future visits.
The captain also tried to keep the boat steady and moved slowly. After about 20 minutes on the boat, we arrived at the planned beach location. Unfortunately, it wasn't a beach, but the shallow waters were calm and very beautiful.
We chose not to participate in snorkeling and instead enjoyed activities on the sandy bottom. The staff was engaging and made it easy to communicate any needs or issues.
Moreover, two sea turtles came close to us!
A cool foreign staff member took photos for us.
We enjoyed a delicious buffet lunch on the boat, which was filling and a lot of fun!
From start to finish, it was an exciting and enjoyable experience! Thank you to all the staff.
Thank you, Hawaii! I want to participate again.
ハワイでは真冬で雨季の2月に参加しました。
やや風が冷たく感じましたが、それも気持ちよく感じるような良いお天気でした。
お迎えバスのピートさんのトークは緊張をほぐしてくれるフレンドリーな日本語トークで朝から楽しく港まで到着しました。
過去に耳鼻の手術を受けている相方さんは、水に潜れなくはないのですが、少々水が怖いので楽しめるか心配だったのですが、そんな心配を吹き飛ばしてくれるスタッフの皆さんのサポーティプな対応と、アクティビティの豊富さでした。
風があるので船が揺れるから船酔いや、波酔いの説明があり、薬を持ってこなかった人や飲めない人用に酔い止めグッズを販売してくれてます。私たちは購入しました。
私たちにはとても効果がありこの日の酔い止め効果も抜群でしたが、帰国の飛行機がかなり揺れて酔ってる人が多かったのですが、購入した酔い止めグッズを使用して酔わずに済みました。思わぬ良い買い物までできました。(購入するなら現金ドルを持って行くといいですよ)
船に乗ると日本人ガイドのIzumiさんの説明が始まります。Izumiさんの説明が秀逸でしっかりと良いこと、ダメなことをわかりやすく教えてくれて感動ものです。

でも、楽しむためにはしっかりとマナーを守り、自分を危険に晒さないことはもちろん、具合悪かったら我慢しないことや、海ガメに触ると罰金35万円かかることなど。また次も気持ちよく参加ように環境を守る。ことのガイドブックには載っていない説明など本当に勉強になりました。
キャプテンもできるだけ揺れないようにゆっくりと船を走らせてくれました。船に乗ること20分くらいでビーチ予定の場所に到着。
残念ながらビーチにはなってませんでしたが、浅瀬で波も穏やかなのでとっても綺麗でした。
シュノーケリングには参加せず砂地でアクティビティを楽しむ方を選びました。

It was cold, but beautiful! I think I could have enjoyed it even more if it were summer. I'm very satisfied because I got to see a sea turtle.
寒かったけど、キレイだった!
夏だともっと思い切って遊べたのかもと思う。
ウミガメとも会えたからとても満足です。
Aloha! This is Captain Bruce's Paradise of the Sea Tour. Thank you very much for participating this time. Hawaii is often associated with a tropical image, but it does have a winter season. The sea temperature can indeed be cold. However, during winter, the colors of the sea and sky are crystal clear, making it beautiful to see! We hope you will join us again in the summer to compare the experiences! All of our staff sincerely look forward to your next visit.

We took the 12 pm tour and boarded the catamaran from the beach. It only took 10 minutes to motor out to the snorkel site so it was not far from shore. There were 3-4 other boats with groups in the same area but there was plenty of space. We snorkeled until everyone had returned to the boat. Then the crew raised the sail and we had a great time coasting over the beautiful blue water, returning just inside of the 3 hour advertised time. Free snacks (chips, granola bars) were provided and you could buy drinks.
The crew were funny, friendly, and gave clear instructions. They kept watch over us during the snorkel. They regularly checked up on each guest after the snorkel to make sure everyone was comfortable. I wear glasses, and have a -5.25 prescription. They had prescription goggles on board that were -6.0 and I was able to see so clearly without my glasses! We saw a group of spinner dolphins on the way out, and I saw 5 different sea turtles below us during the snorkel. Several of them surfaced to breathe close by which was amazing! We saw a baby octopus, and lot of beautiful fish. The crew member in the water with us was good to caution people to give the turtles their space which was important.
Advice: you are barefoot to board the boat and on the boat, and you store your bag and shoes in cubby holes on board. It's good to bring a sun shirt so your back doesn't burn. You do get cold while snorkeling, but less so if you keep moving. Bring a towel and warm clothes to wear after if you tend to get cold. Hats will fly away easily so you need one with a draw string. They provide sunscreen if you forget your own. I took gravol before the trip, so I'm not sure if I needed it!

I previously went on the Angel Sea Tour and had a great experience, so this time I invited my friend's family to join. They were also very happy, and I was pleased that the Japanese female guide remembered me. The tour included lunch, and I think it's a great deal.
以前、天使の海ツアーに行きとても良かったので、今回は友人家族を誘って参加しました。 友人家族も大変喜んでおり、ガイドの日本人女性が私を覚えていてくれて、これも嬉しかったです。 ランチも付いてのツアーで、格安だと思います。

I booked this tour back around August of 2018 for a February 2019 trip. The original date was supposed to be Sunday morning on their first tour; however, they reached out to us on Saturday morning to notify us rescheduling might be required, as the island was going to be hit with an extremely severe storm over the weekend. Sure enough, Sunday morning came, and it was determined the waters were too unstable to enjoy a safe snorkeling experience. We were able to re-book to Monday afternoon, with the hopes the waters would mellow out and clear up by then. We arrived at the meeting spot, and right as we were about to disembark, we were notified the waters were still too dangerous. We were then given the option to either reschedule, or go sail with them for an hour or so, and get a refund on the snorkeling portion. Given we were leaving the following day, we were unfortunately unable to reschedule, and opted for the sailing. The captain, Ryan, and the rest of the crew were all wonderful, and made it a memorable experience. We were out sailing for around an hour and a half, and the views were breathtaking. They also provided everyone a few free drinks to help make up for the inconvenience, and the free snacks provided were much appreciated. While we never got to enjoy the snorkeling itself, I can vouch for the company and their customer service. Thank you for turning lemons to lemonade! Also, in February it was a bit chilly, so I would recommend a light jacket, and definitely sunglasses :)

The boat staff were very nice, but the weather before this activity wasn’t ideal, so that is part of why this review isn’t stellar. Also, the tour said that snorkelling equipment including fins was provided. Fins were not. They are actually very helpful for staying buyouant, especially in rougher waters like we had, so we were counting on them. The area was VERY busy, with many tour groups out there, so it wasn’t a very pleasant snorkelling experience - as you kept getting kicked in the face. I wouldn’t recommend this - find a nice spot and go on your own.

The weather was unfortunately cold during snorkeling, but the guide's exceptional attentiveness was impressive. Choosing the VIP boat made for a fun memory.
I definitely want to participate again next time.

The weather wasn't great, but I had a wonderful time. It's about an hour from the hotel, and the boarding area is also a location from the Jurassic Park movie. I was satisfied to see sea turtles. Next time, I hope for a sunny day!
天気が良くなかったけど、満喫できました。
ホテルから1hくらいの場所にあり、乗船場はジュラシックパークの映画の舞台にもなったところ。海亀もみれ満足でした。今度は天気のよい日に!

This is about my fifth time participating. Each time, the season, weather, temperature, and companions are different, so I have memories from each visit. This time, it was a trip with my two children. The weather wasn't very favorable, and we experienced a chilly sandbar, but the usual scenery welcomed us. I'll come again.
今回で都合5回目くらいの参加です。
毎回、季節、天候、気温そして同伴者が違うので毎回毎回の思い出があります。
今回は親子3人旅。
天候にちょっと恵まれず、肌寒い中でのサンドバーとなりましたが、
いつも通りの景色が私たちを迎えてくれました。
また、来ますね。
