BOB's Hawaii Underwater Scooter Adventure & Turtle Watching Tour

Excellent Experience and Super Fun! Crew was fantastic and would do this again!!!

Reviewed by: Myles G.

Pick from driver was prompt and on time. Once we arrived, we were given very clear instructions once on the boat, all the staff and the captain was very friendly and once we were on our way, everything we needed to know was explained clearly.

The actual scooter came on another boat and we were told how to get in and out of it, and I have to say the experience was unlike anything I've ever done before! We were only about 10-12 feet down but it was so wonderful to be in the water and not having to worry about anything.

The divers were very very professional and attentive, very friendly and very knowledgeable, and once we were done with the scuba scooter experience, it was a nice relaxing time on the boat to either go snorkeling or just enjoy the beautiful scenery around us!

Highly recommended, the staff was absolutely great and the captain was "cherry"!

Will definitely do it again next time we are in Honolulu! Highly recommended!!

カイルアビーチ送迎シャトルサービス 嬉しい5時間滞在!ビーチグッズなど各種レンタル付き<日本語スタッフ/ランチ付>

A place I want to visit again. また行きたい場所

Reviewed by: Katsu

I was unsure whether to go alone by bus, but I decided to join the round-trip shuttle bus tour. The pickup location was not at my hotel, but it was within a few minutes' walk. After riding a mini bus for about 30 to 40 minutes, we arrived at the facility near Kailua Beach. Several Japanese staff members were waiting to explain the services.

I rented a bicycle for $10 and went snorkeling at Lanikai Beach, which was about a 15-minute ride from the facility. It was a bit chilly and rainy that day, so I couldn't snorkel for long, but the sea was beautiful, just as I had heard, and the beach was not crowded. I took photos with the Mokulua Islands in the background. I then rode my bike to Kailua Beach, which took about 5 minutes (be careful of the hill).

I planned to swim at Kailua Beach, but I gave up because the rain got stronger. I decided to return to the facility for lunch. The tour included free rentals other than bicycles, and I could eat lunch at the facility's restaurant or a nearby pizza place. When I returned to the facility around noon and went to the nearby pizza place, I found out it opened at 1 PM, so I had to give up on that. I was disappointed because I wanted to eat pizza.

I rode my bike to Kailua town, which took about 15 minutes. There was a lot of traffic, so I had to be careful while riding. After having lunch in town, I enjoyed shopping at stylish shops and had some delicious dessert before returning to the facility to take the mini bus back to the city.

It was a fulfilling tour without any wasted time. It's a pity it wasn't sunny, so I plan to try again next year.

12時頃に施設へ戻り近隣のピザ屋へ行くと営業は13時からとことで断念。
ピザが食べたかったので残念。自転車でカイルア市内へ。15分程度。自動車の交通量が多いので運転に注意。市内でランチを済ませ、オシャレなショップで買物三昧。美味しいデザートを食べて施設へ戻り復路のミニバスで市内へ。

Dear Katsu,

Thank you for participating in the tour and for writing a review. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed the Kailua and Lanikai beach tour despite the unfortunate weather. It seems that the pizza place had a delayed opening due to an oven malfunction, which is truly disappointing.

We hope you will visit Kailua again when you come back to Hawaii. We will be waiting for you with clear skies (laughs).

Thank you.

A group of honu (sea turtles) ホヌの群れ

Reviewed by: なみぷーる

I participated with my two children.
During the cruise, we encountered many honu (sea turtles)!
There were even baby honu.
The staff pointed out the direction on the clock, so we didn't miss anything.
At the sandbar, we played beach volleyball and practiced snorkeling.
For lunch, we had delicious hamburgers with freshly grilled patties! My kids went back for seconds!
We also enjoyed snorkeling around the coral reefs.
This is a highly recommended tour that even toddlers can participate in without any difficulty.

サンドバー キャプテンブルース 天国の海®︎シュノーケリングクルーズ SUPや浮き輪などレンタルアイテムも!<午前・午後/日本語クルー>

Sandbar サンドバー

Reviewed by: まりお

I think it would be smooth to practice snorkeling in your home bath before going. It’s a good idea to take motion sickness medication to avoid getting sick during the trip. My child got sick on the bus, but we forced him onto the boat to the sandbar. I knew he would be fine once he could stand in the water.

The scenery was beautiful, and I was thrilled to see six turtles while snorkeling. The staff was friendly, and I felt safe and enjoyed myself.

I highly recommend this activity!

シュノーケリングが出来るように、自宅の風呂で練習してから行けばスムーズかと思います。道中は酔わないように酔い止めを飲むと良いと思います。うちは子供がバスの中で酔ってしまいましたが、半ば無理やり船に乗せサンドバーへ。足がつけば平気になるのはわかっていたので。
景色は素敵でシュノーケリング中に亀を6匹見つけたり感動ものでした。スタッフも親切だし安心して楽しめました。
オススメのアクテビティです!

Burgers on the sea are the best! 海の上でのハンバーガーも最高!

Reviewed by: のぐのぐ

At Sandbar, the experience on the boat and in the water was more comfortable than I imagined. For lunch, we had burgers with grilled meat prepared on the boat! And the best part is that drinking beer while in the ocean is something you wouldn't think is possible in Japan. We started playing beach volleyball with just 2 or 3 people, but before we knew it, more people joined in, and it became a blast! Snorkeling was also great, as we had about an hour to move freely and enjoy ourselves!

サンドバーでは、想像以上に過ごしやすい船の上と水の中。お昼は、船の上で焼いてくれたお肉を挟んだハンバーガーを!そして、何より海のに入りながらビールを飲んでもオッケーというのは、日本では考えられませんね。ビーチバレーも、最初は2、3人で初めてていましたが、いつの間にか人が増えて盛り上がり、最高でした!シュノーケリングも、約1時間も自由に動けるので、楽しめます!

Unforgettable memories 忘れられない思い出

Reviewed by: k777

I went snorkeling with my daughter while holding hands and saw dolphins. It was a fleeting moment, but it became an unforgettable memory. However, it was unfortunate that my wife, who joined us, had to hold onto the aloha bucket due to seasickness until the end.

娘と手を繋いでシュノーケルしながらイルカを見ました。一瞬の出来事でしたが忘れられない思い出になりました。ただ、一緒に参加した妻は、船酔いで最後までアロハバケツを抱えていだ事だけが残念でした。

野生のイルカウォッチング&ウミガメシュノーケリングクルーズ ジャンボスライダーやSUPも楽しめる!<ランチ付き/ワイキキ&コオリナ送迎/日本語または英語ガイド>

I was moved by the wild dolphins! Just a bit rushed. 野生のイルカに感動!ただちょっと急ぎ足。

Reviewed by: はなこ

I was able to encounter a pod of wild dolphins! As soon as we spotted the dolphins, we hurriedly put on our fins and masks. At the captain's signal, we jumped into the sea one after another and swam to the location guided by the staff. When we looked underwater at the signal, we could see dozens of dolphins swimming below us! The water was incredibly clear, providing excellent visibility. It was a great experience.

We raced the boat to the best spot, waited, and signaled; I believe that if any of these elements were missing, the timing wouldn't have worked out. It truly felt like a long-established tour!

Even after getting back on the boat, the pod of dolphins swam alongside us. (This seems to be rare.) At this time of year, there were also baby dolphins, and we were able to see the dolphins jumping, which made for an exciting time.

While the time with the dolphins was wonderful, there were a few things I would like to see improved, which is why I’m giving it one less star.
- I would have liked it to be clearly stated that we needed to swim quickly on our own to see the dolphins. (I had a parent in their 60s who is not a strong swimmer with me.)
- The time we could see the dolphins underwater was very brief. (Once the pod passed by, we got back on the boat and moved straight to the water play point.) I would have liked to have more time to see them in the sea again.
- I purchased photos, but none were taken underwater. (It was the maximum number of passengers on board that day, so perhaps the photographer couldn't manage?) It felt like there were many photos of children. While there were photos taken on the boat, the commemorative photos with the staff were in a conveyor-belt style, so we weren't looking at the camera. It was disappointing, especially since it cost $79.

The staff were cheerful, and the boat was lively with dancing and singing, making it a good experience where I could feel the beauty of Hawaii's nature.

野生のイルカの群れに会えました!
イルカを発見すると急いでフィンとマスクを装着。船長さんの合図で次々に海に飛び込み、スタッフの誘導する場所まで泳ぎます。合図で海中を見ると何十頭のイルカの群れが下を泳いでいくのが見えました!海は透明度抜群で視界もクリア。いい体験ができました。
ベストな場所へ船を走らせ、待機し、合図、このどれが欠けてもタイミングは合わなかったと思います。さすが老舗ツアーだと思いました!
船に上がってからもイルカの群れが船と並走。(珍しいそうです。)時期的に赤ちゃんイルカもいて、イルカのジャンプも見ることができ、ワクワクな時間が続きました。

イルカとの時間は素適でしたが、いくつか改善してほしいこともあり星マイナス1。
・イルカを見るために急いで自力で泳ぐ必要があることは明記してほしかった。(泳ぎの得意でない60代の親が一緒でした。)
・イルカを水中で見れたのは一瞬だった。(群れが通り過ぎたら船に上がってそのまま水遊びポイントへ移動してしまう。)もう一度海の中で見る時間をとってほしかった。
・写真を購入したが海の中で1枚も撮ってもらえなかった。(当日は乗船可能人数maxだったのでカメラマンの手が回らなかった?)子どもの写真が多い印象。船の上では写っていましたがスタッフとの記念写真も流れ作業状態なのでカメラ目線になっていなくて…。79ドルもしたのに残念です。

スタッフも明るく船内もダンスや歌で盛り上がり、ハワイの自然を感じられる良い体験はできたと思います。

I had previously gone snorkeling at another location, but it wasn't as detailed and kind as this experience. This time, I felt that the explanations provided in advance were very thorough and considerate, ensuring that participants could enjoy themselves without any worries. Additionally, during the snorkeling, I was constantly watched over and guided, which allowed me to fully enjoy the wonderful underwater world without getting lost. I was pleasantly surprised to be able to swim for such a long time, which I hadn't expected. I would definitely like to use this service again.

今回はとても懇切丁寧に事前に説明いただき、参加者に不安のないよう安心して楽しめるよう配慮を感じました。
また、シュノーケリング中も常に見ていて誘導していただいたおかげで迷うことなくすばらしい海の世界を堪能することができました。
また、こんなに長い時間泳がせてもらえるとは思っていなかったのでうれしい驚きでした。

Dear Jay, thank you for joining the tour with Blue Hawaii Divers. I'm glad to hear that you and Dan had a great time. During our tour, you will swim for about an hour, and if the wave conditions are good, we will take you further out. We will make sure to provide thorough practice beforehand. Both of you did very well. It was nice that a seal came to the beach that day. Next time, I will do my best to ensure you can see the adorable sea turtles at Hanauma Bay, so please consider joining us again when you come back to Hawaii. Thank you very much. Mahalo!!

Reviewed by: kiringo

The day I participated, it was packed with about 40 people, and there was barely enough room to sit. There were four crew members. I attended with elementary school children, but the explanation for using the snorkeling gear was very brief, and after that, everyone pretty much did their own thing. During sailing, the crew said it was optional to wear life jackets, and since they came around to collect them, none of the participants ended up wearing them.

I was able to see a sea turtle, and I spotted dolphins jumping in the distance, which was great, but I felt it might be more of an adult-oriented tour.

参加した日は40人くらいの満員状態で席もギリギリ座れるという状態でした。クルーは4人でした。小学生を連れての参加でしたがシュノーケリングの使い方はサラッと説明するくらいで、始まってからはほとんど各自で勝手にやるというかんじでした。セーリングの時は救命胴衣は着けても着けなくてもよいと言ってクルーが回収しにきて参加者全員着用してませんでした。
ウミガメは見れたし、遠くでイルカが飛び跳ねてるのが見えたので良かったですが、大人向けのツアーかな?と思いました。

I was able to see a lot of fish! 魚たくさん見れました!

Reviewed by: パンダ

In late August, my family (two adults and two middle schoolers) participated in a morning course. Along with us, there was a couple and a family with children, making a total of 10 participants plus instructors Dan and Chieko, bringing the total to 12 people.

Both of them were kind and had great personalities, and their explanations were very thorough. Before making a reservation, I debated whether to go with a guided tour, but I’m glad I chose this course. This is because they select the best course based on the day's sea conditions, such as the waves. If you’ve been there several times, you might prefer to go on your own, but since it was our first time at Hanauma Bay, we were unsure and a bit anxious. When they told us the course that swam from one end to the other, I thought that if it were just us, we definitely wouldn’t have chosen this course.

In the end, we were lucky to see a seal on the beach, which was adorable. It was a lucky experience!

However, since we just swam from one end to the other, it felt a little lacking. It would have been even better if we could have spent 10 to 15 minutes freely exploring the shallow areas.

But both the parents and kids had a great time. Thank you! It was a wonderful memory.

8月下旬、家族(大人2人と中学生2人)で朝からのコースで参加しました。私達のほかにご夫婦と子連れのご家族と一緒で10人とインストラクターのダンさんとチエコさんの合計12人で。
2人とも優しいですし人柄が良く、説明もとても丁寧です。予約する前、ガイドさん付きにするかどうか悩みましたが、私はこちらのコースにして良かったと思っています。と、いうのもその日の海の波などのコンディションを見て最適なコースを選び泳いでくれるから。何度か来た方なら個人で自由にでもいいと思いますが、うちはハナウマベイが初めてだったので勝手がわからず不安があったのもありますし、端から端まで泳いだコースを教えてもらった時、自分達だけだったらこのコースは絶対泳がなかっただろうなーって思ったので。
最後には運よくアザラシが浜辺にいて可愛かったです。ラッキーでした♪
ただ、端から端まで泳いで終わりだったので少〜し物足りず。ここら辺の浅瀬で自由に…とか10分15分でもあればもっと良かったかなと。。

でも、親も子供も楽しく過ごせました。
ありがとうございました!良い思い出です。

Thank you, Panda family, for joining our tour with your family of four. I'm glad you were able to see many fish for the first time at Hanauma Bay. On this day, we swam continuously for about an hour without a break, and it's impressive that everyone in the Panda family wanted to swim even more! However, I must apologize as customers on guided tours are required to swim with an instructor for safety, so free swimming is not allowed. If the wave conditions are good, our tour sometimes allows us to swim beyond the white waves out to deeper waters, so please consider joining us again in the future. For those who find snorkeling insufficient, I recommend trying our introductory diving experience. We also offer diving tours at Hanauma Bay, and you are always welcome. Thank you very much. Mahalo!!

初めてのハナウマ湾でたくさんのお魚さんを見ていただけて良かったです。この日も通常通り1時間ほど休みなく続けて泳いでいますが、もっと泳ぎたかったなんてパンダファミリー様は皆さま体力がありますね!実はガイド付きツアーにお越しのお客様は必ずインストラクターと共に安全を確保して泳ぐことになっていますので、お客様のみの自由行動はだめなんです。ごめんなさいね。波の状態が良ければ、私達のツアーでは白波を超えて、沖の方までも泳ぎに行くこともありますので、また機会がありましたらツアーにリピートして下さい。もしくはシュノーケリングで物足りない方には体験ダイビングがオススメです。私達はハナウマ湾での体験ダイビングツアーも開催していますのでいつでも大歓迎致します。
本当にありがとうございました。Mahalo!!

Shark Diving Hawaii - Cageless Pelagic Snorkel Tour with FREE Photos & Videos

Most memorable part of my trip!

Reviewed by: Kate

Me and my friend first agreed to do a caged experience with the sharks, but I'm so glad we chose to do it without the cage! It was a better experience. The guides were helpful and experienced, and we luckily saw a Tiger shark! We did this on our last day in Hawaii and it wound up being the best part of our trip!

イルカ中学 野生のイルカ&ウミガメシュノーケリングクルーズ 高速ボートでイルカ遭遇率アップ!<少人数制/ワイキキ&コオリナ送迎可/日本語/ランチ付き>

It was fun. 楽しかったです

Reviewed by: いちママ

I participated with my children, and the staff were very kind and helpful. It’s challenging to swim with small kids, but the staff provided support, which made me feel at ease. However, since it’s in nature, it’s understandable, but it was disappointing that I only caught a glimpse of the dolphins from a distance. I would like to participate again if I have the opportunity.

子ども連れで参加しましたが、スタッフの方が親切でとても助かりました。小さな子を連れて泳ぐのは大変ですが、スタッフの方がフォローしてくださるので安心です。ただ自然の中なので仕方がないですがイルカが遠目にチラッと見えただけだったのが残念です。また機会があれば参加させて頂きたいです。

There are various optional tours in Hawaii, but you definitely should go for the dolphins! I want to go again, so please consider offering a repeat customer discount next time.

This is my second participation after university, now in junior high school. 大学に続き中学で2回目の参加

Reviewed by: 日本人

Since the first time was great, I participated this time in middle school!
We encountered a pod of dolphins in less than 30 minutes after getting on the boat!
It was amazing to see a baby dolphin too!
After moving to another spot, I was also able to see sea turtles, which was great.
I was surprised as the sea turtles kept coming closer to us.
It was really wonderful.
Minako-san also provided such a lovely guide, and just watching made me happy.
Thank you!

1度目が良かったので今回は中学で参加しました!
船に乗って30分も経たないうちにイルカの群れに遭遇出来ました!

Dolphin イルカ

Reviewed by: おどやん

My elementary school child wanted to see dolphins, so we participated. Unfortunately, the water clarity was poor, but we were able to see many dolphins, and it seemed like they had a lot of fun swimming with them. Even for adults, it felt a bit challenging to swim, so I thought it would be tough to pull along my first-grade child, but the staff helped by swimming with the kids, which was a great relief. Next time, I want to participate on a day with better visibility.

小学生の子供がイルカを見たいと言うので参加しました。
残念ながら透明度は悪かったですが、沢山のイルカを見れて、一緒に泳げた事で、とても楽しかったようです。
大人でも少しハードに感じるくらい泳ぐので
小学1年生の子供を引っ張って泳ぐのは大変と思っていましたが、スタッフの方が子供を連れて泳いでくれたので、とても助かりました。
今度は透明度の良い日に参加したいです。

ハワイ水中スクーター 泳げなくてもOK!シーボブで海底散歩&シュノーケリングクルーズ

An experience you can only have in Hawaii! ハワイでしか体験できない!

Reviewed by: 大和すまない!

Sea walking is available everywhere, but underwater biking is only here!
About 20 years ago, there was one at Manza Beach in Okinawa, but it couldn't operate due to the weather at that time, and it has been gone since then, which I found disappointing!
However, I found it in Hawaii this time and it was definitely the right decision to sign up without hesitation.

It's quite disappointing that the number of fish has significantly decreased compared to the old Hawaii, but considering this attraction over the fish, I definitely recommend it!

シーウォークはどこにでもあるが、水中バイクはここでしかない!
沖縄にも20年くらい前に万座ビーチにあったが、その時は気候でできなく、それ以来なくなっており残念に思ってました!
しかし今回のハワイで見つけて迷わずに申し込みをして正解だった。

魚の数が昔のハワイに比べてかなり減っているのが残念でならないが、魚よりもこのアトラクションって考えると是非おすすめですね!

Driver on time for both pick up times. Professional and friendly.

Reviewed by: melinda

The Driver was at our hotel on time, he was courteous and professional. Friendly as well. He gave good directions and made sure our snorkel gear was in good working order. He was early for our pick up and got us safely back to our hotel. The bay is amazing and it was by far the best place I have snorkeled and that is why I returned with my family.

The crew members are kind and attentive. It was reassuring that they could speak Japanese. You can see schools of fish while snorkeling. Sea turtles come close enough to touch. They are protected animals, so you shouldn't touch them, but it's definitely an unforgettable experience. In any case, I recommend it because you can see the beautiful ocean!

クルーの方々が親切丁寧です。日本語が通じるので、安心感がありました。シュノーケリングも魚が群れになってるところが見れます。ウミガメめ触れられる距離に来てくれます。保護動物なので、触れてはいけませんが感動間違い無しです。とにかく、美しい海を見ることができるので、お勧めします!

I am grateful for the wonderful encounter. 素晴らしい出会いに感謝☆

Reviewed by: Miho

I woke up at 5 AM and moved to the meeting place in the dim light.

I was worried because I had heard that a tropical storm was coming from the south, but with dawn came clear skies. The sea was calm as well.

The bus provided a thorough explanation beforehand. After boarding, they quickly distributed the equipment.

About 15 minutes after boarding, we encountered a pod of dolphins. We were able to see the dolphins up close as they swam back and forth without needing to change boats.

We moved to another spot for snorkeling. We saw two green sea turtles and an eel, among other things.

The guide mentioned that this was one of the top ten best days of the year.

As expected with wildlife, timing and luck play a role. It seemed challenging to find the dolphins that day, but I felt that the staff here would give their all regardless.

I was able to enjoy the entire experience since I took motion sickness medication.

However, the air conditioning in the car broke on the way back, so I’ll give it a ☆-1.

This can't be helped, but...

Thank you to all the staff and to the god of Waianae!

朝、5時起きで、薄暗い中、集合場所へ移動。

南側にトロピカルストームが来てると、聞いていたので、心配していましたが、夜明けと共に快晴。海も、穏やかでした。

バスで事前に丁寧に説明して下さっていました。乗船後も、テキパキ道具を配って下さいました。

乗船後、15分程で、イルカの群れと遭遇。
船に乗り直すことなく、何度も行き来するイルカを間近でみれました。

移動して、もう一度、シュノーケリング。
アオウミガメ2頭と、ウツボなどもみれました。

今年、10本の指に入るいい日だとガイドさんがおっしゃってました。

やはり、野生動物なのでタイミングと運は、ありますね。
イルカを探す日は、大変そうでしたが、そんな日でも、ここのスタッフさんだと、全力でやってくれると思えました。



酔い止めを、飲んでいたので、終始楽しめました。

帰りの車のエアコンが壊れてしまったので☆-1

これは、仕方ないんですが、、、

BBQ lunch cruise BBQランチつきクルーズ

Reviewed by: Koo

All other tours were fully booked, so we chose this one, and we had a great time.

For us, who were worried about not being able to keep up with a more intense itinerary, this was just the right amount of activity. The free time at the sandbar and snorkeling were perfectly timed for enjoyment. Although we didn't see any sea turtles while swimming, we encountered several from the boat. The children were very happy and expressed a desire to participate again.

There were also restrooms available, so we didn't have any issues.

予約がいっぱいで他のツアーは取れなくてこちらにしたのですが、とても楽しめました。

あまりハードな内容だとついていけないと不安だった私たちにとってはちょうど良い内容でした。サンドバーでの自由時間やシュノーケリングなどちょうど良い時間配分で楽しめます。泳ぎながらウミガメは見えませんでしたが、船の上から何匹もウミガメに会えました。子供たちもとても喜んでいてまたぜひ参加したいと思いました。

トイレなどもあったので困る事はなかったです。
