All Reviews for Oahu Snorkeling Tours

This was my second time on this tour. I participated on April 28, right in the middle of Golden Week. I was originally scheduled to join on the 27th, but there was some trouble with the ship that day, and it couldn’t depart, so I had to join the next day.

The last time I went, two years ago, I participated alone, but this time I was with someone else. During the previous trip, we found dolphins about 20 minutes after departure and spent a long time snorkeling with them and even got to see turtles up close. I was hoping for a similar experience this time!

Maybe the weather wasn’t great? This time, it took a while to find the dolphins, and we searched from the boat for about an hour before the dolphins finally noticed us and came into view! Just as we were all set to snorkel and swim with the dolphins, one of my companions got seasick and panicked a bit since it was their first time snorkeling.

They decided to give up after just 10 minutes in the water. They told me to go ahead and enjoy, but I couldn’t just leave them alone on the boat while I had fun! (As a guy, I felt I had to support the girl properly!)

I felt a bit regretful, but we were able to spot dolphins from the boat, and they even came quite close at one point. Just being able to see the dolphins made my companion happy.

Despite the ups and downs, we ended with some fun commemorative photos, and I realized how enjoyable it is to see dolphins! Even though we were at a distance, they were so cute! I’m already looking forward to planning to join again in two years!

今回で2度目のこのツアー。
ゴールデンウィークの真っ最中の4月28日に参加しました。
本当は27日の参加予定だったのですが、その日の船がトラブル？
で出港不能となり、翌日に改めての参加となったのですけどね。

前回は2年前に一人で参加したのですが、今回は二人での参加。
前回は出港後、20分ほど？でイルカが見つかり長い時間シュノーケルで
イルカを見たり、亀を間近で見れたりもしたのです。
今回もそうなると良いな！と、思いながらの参加です。

少し、天気も良くないってのもあったのかな？
今回はなかなかイルカが見つからず、船の上から探すこと
1時間ぐらい？　ようやくイルカがこちらに気づいて？見つかってくれました！
さっそく、みんなでシュノーケル！でイルカと泳ぐぞ！！って時に・・・
一緒に行った人が、船酔いもしたのと初めてシュノーケルで少しパニくって
しまって＞＜　
海に入ってわずか10分で、断念。連れは私はいいから見てきて！って
言ってくれたのだけど、一人船の上に放置して自分だけ楽しむわけにも
行かないじゃないですか！
（一応、男子としては女子をしっかりとサポートせねば！ｗ）

少し、心残りはありましたが、船の上から一緒にイルカを探しながら
遠めでもイルカは見れましたし、途中船のすぐ近くにも来てくれた。
そんなイルカを見ることができて、それだけでも連れは喜んでくれてました。

なんやかや、すったもんだありましたが、最後は楽しく記念撮影なんかもして
やはり、イルカを見ることって楽しいな！そして遠めだったけど、イルカは
可愛いな！って思いました。
2年後にもう一度、参加するつもりで今から楽しみに計画を練ってますｗ

I can't say enough about this trip.

It was absolutely amazing, the crew went out of their way to make everyone happy. They even brought me a beer while I was standing on the sandbar, imagine that...

Take this trip, it is worth every dollar!!!

We really enjoyed the crew, they were all so helpful and funny, we saw at least 50 spinner dolphins and many turtles, it was the best boat trip I've taken in Hawaii and I have been on a few. I would suggest you bring your own drinks and snacks especially if you are bringing kids. It was a lot of fun and I would go again for sure.

Beautiful ocean, scenery, delicious food. And the hospitality of the staff.

I was surprised at how much they provided for the tour price; everything was perfect, and my satisfaction level was 1000%! This was definitely the number one tour I would recommend!

素敵な海、景色、美味しい食事。そしてスタッフ方のホスピタリティ。

ツアー料金に対してここまでしてくれるのかと驚き、どれをとっても完璧で、満足度1000%でした！絶対オススメナンバーワンツアーでした！

I had a great time watching dolphins and playing with a cheerful crew who spoke Japanese. The blue sea of Hawaii, the clear sky, and the wonderful smiles of the crew—please experience it at least once!

陽気な日本語の話せるクルーとわいわい楽しくイルカを見て楽しく遊べました☺ハワイの海青い空イルカの群れクルーの素敵な笑顔一度体験してしてみてください

I was able to see a group of dolphins swimming while sleeping in the ocean.

What was even better was getting to see a sea turtle up close.

海の中で寝ながら泳いでいるイルカの群れを見れました(^^)

それよりも海亀を間近で見れた事が良かったです。

The pick-up and drop-off service to the hotel was efficient, and the staff's bright smiles enhanced the tour. If you check the tide and the weather is favorable, it will definitely be an unforgettable experience. The snorkeling experience was also fun, as I got to see various fish swimming around the coral reefs! The lunch was delicious too. I highly recommend it!

ホテル迄の送り迎えも手際良く、スタッフの明るい笑顔がツアーを盛り上げます。
潮位を調べ、お天気に恵まれれば、間違いなく最高の思い出になります。
スノーケリング体験も、サンゴ礁を泳ぐ色々な魚達に会えて楽しかった！
ランチも美味しかった〜
おススメです！

I participated with mixed feelings about whether I would encounter dolphins or swim with them, but many dolphins appeared, and I was able to swim nearby. I was also glad to meet a sea turtle.

イルカと遭遇するか、一緒に泳げるか、半信半疑で参加しましたが、多くのイルカが現れ、近くを泳げました。またウミガメにも会えて良かったです。

The cruise was filled with a bright and fun atmosphere, typical of Hawaii, and as we progressed, we received explanations about filming locations from Jurassic Park. I was thrilled to see sea turtles multiple times.

I had never tried snorkeling before and was quite unsure, but I decided to give it a go. The staff kindly checked my gear and equipment, which allowed me to experience it without any anxiety. The underwater world was so enjoyable that I feel like I might become hooked on snorkeling.

It would have been difficult to get there on my own, so using the tour was definitely the right choice.

　明るく楽しいガイドさんでハワイらしい雰囲気満点のクルーズ、途中ジュラシックパークの撮影場所の説明なども聞きながら進んでいくと、ウミガメもしっかり何度も現れてくれて感激しました。
　シュノーケリングは全くの初めてでかなり自信がなかったのですが、思い切ってチャレンジ。親切に着用の状態や装備の点検をしてくれたので、不安なく体験することができました。水中の世界が楽し過ぎて、これからシュノーケリングにはまりそう。
　自力で行くのは大変な場所なので、ツアー利用して正解でした。

I participated in this tour during my first visit to Hawaii. The water was incredibly clear and the emerald green sea was amazing. The guide was very friendly, and I had a great time. It had been over 10 years since I last swam in the ocean, so I was a bit anxious, but the detailed explanations in Japanese made me feel very reassured. There were also many small children participating. This was a tour that I would love to join again when I come back to Hawaii! (﹡´◡`﹡ )

初めてのハワイでこちらのツアーに参加しました。
透明度抜群でエメラルドグリーンの海は最高でした。ガイドさんもとても気さくな方で、楽しく過ごせました。海で泳ぐのは10年以上ぶりだったので、なにかと不安でしたが、日本語で丁寧に説明していただけるのでとても安心です。小さな子供もたくさん参加していました。
次回ハワイにきたときももういちど参加したいと思えるツアーでした(﹡´◡`﹡ )

The crew was very friendly and they provided all the instructions when we are on board. They provided snacks and water. For each scooter they had their own person to guide them. We had a very good time

The bus attendant was bright and entertaining, which really lifted our spirits even though it was early in the morning, making the time before seeing the dolphins very enjoyable. The foreign instructors who joined us on the boat could speak a little Japanese, so we were able to communicate and had a lot of fun.

Our group struggled to see the dolphins, but everyone persevered and took us to a spot where we finally saw them on the fifth try! We didn't have time for snorkeling because we were running late, but normally, they split into groups for snorkeling, stand-up paddleboarding, and kayaking afterward.

We ended with everyone dancing the hula, which was a wonderful way to finish! I had such a fulfilling time. Plus, since it was an early morning plan, we had plenty of time for sightseeing in the afternoon! I was able to enjoy Hawaii to the fullest! ^_^

バスの添乗員さんは朝早かったのにテンションを上げてくれるような明るさと面白さで、イルカを見る前からすごく楽しく過ごせました。
船に一緒に乗ってくれた外国人のインストラクターの方々も、日本語を少し話せるのでコミュニケーションが取れて楽しかったです。
私たちの回はイルカを見るのに苦戦しましたが、皆さんが諦めずにイルカが見えるスポットまで連れて行ってくださり5回目でやっとイルカを見ることが出来ました！
時間が押していたのでシュノーケリングの時間は無かったですが、本来だったらシュノーケリングをしたあとにサップとカヤック組に分かれてやるそうです。
最後はみんなでフラを踊って終了〜！
すごく充実した時間が過ごせました。
しかも朝早くからのプランだったので、午後も充分観光ができました！ハワイを120%満喫できました^_^

All the staff were friendly and it was the best experience. Since it was an afternoon tour, the water level rose, so the Heaven's Sea tour might be better in the morning? However, thanks to that, my daughter and granddaughter enjoyed being welcomed by turtles and pufferfish. The barbecue meat and shrimp were more delicious than expected, and I ended up going back for seconds three times.

スタッフ全員フレンドリーで最高でした。
午後ツアーだったので水位が上がって、やはり天国の海ツアーは午前中が良いかも？
でも、おかげで亀とふぐの歓迎を受けて娘も孫娘も楽しみました。
バーベキューのお肉と海老が予想以上に美味しく、3回もおかわりしてしまいました。

After 17 years since our honeymoon, we finally went to Hawaii as a family of four with our children. This was my first time participating in such an activity. In contrast to my dislike for boats, my wife and kids seemed to be having a great time. However, we set sail from the location where the scene of escaping from lava due to a volcanic eruption in "Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom" was filmed, which instantly raised my excitement as I had watched Jurassic World in the theater.

The Japanese crew on the boat were very kind and made me feel at ease during the trip. While we were playing in the heavenly sea, they grilled hamburgers on the BBQ grill at the back of the boat. I was curious about what the light meal would be, and it turned out to be hamburgers with patties and vegetables in buns. My kids love them, and they happily devoured them, saying how delicious they were!

After playing at the sandbar, we enjoyed searching for sea turtles, and we could see many from the boat. The kids were excitedly pointing out, "Look, there's one over there!" and "There's another one here!" They had a great time searching for the turtles together. Finally, we enjoyed snorkeling at a spot where lots of fish gather. Unfortunately, my kids were too scared to snorkel, but I made sure to take plenty of pictures of the fish underwater. When I showed the footage to the kids later, they were thrilled, exclaiming, "Wow! Amazing! There are so many!"

Next time, I hope my kids will practice snorkeling so they can join in properly.

新婚旅行以来１７年ぶりに子供たちと家族４人で行ったハワイで
初めて参加しました。
船が苦手な私とは対照的に妻と子供は楽しそうにはしゃいでいました。
しかし、ジュラシックワールド”炎の王国”で火山の噴火による溶岩から
恐竜を連れて港から逃げるシーンを撮影した場所からの出航で、
ジュラシックワールドを映画館で見ていた私のテンションも一気に
上がりました。
船には日本人のクルーが親切に対応してくれていて、
安心して参加することが出来ました。
天国の海で私たちが遊んでいる間に船の後方にあるBBQグリルで
ハンバーグを焼いてくれました。
軽食と書いてあったので、何だろう？と思っていたのですが
バンズにハンバーグや野菜を挟んで食べるハンバーガーでした。
子供は大好きなので大はしゃぎでおいしいと言ってペロッと食べていました！
サンドバーで遊んだ後はウミガメ探し船の上からでも何匹も
確認できるほどたくさんいて「ほら、あそこにいるよ～」
とか「こっちにもいるよ～」と兄弟でウミガメ探しを楽しんでいました。
そして、最後に魚がいっぱい集まるというポイントでシュノーケリングを
楽しみました。
残念ながら子供は怖がってシュノーケリングは出来ませんでしたが、
その分親である私が頑張って海の中の魚たちを一杯撮影しました。
後日その映像を子供たちに見せると「すごい！すごい！いっぱいいる～」
といって大変喜んでくれました。
次回子供たちはちゃんとシュノーケリングできるように練習して
参加したいと思います。

We boarded the boat and first headed a little offshore for some snorkeling. It’s not too far from the shore, but surprisingly there is quite a current and depth. That said, life vests are provided, so there’s no need to worry. We were able to swim while watching sea turtles and small fish.

During the sailing afterward, we got to see dolphins up close. However, the wind was strong offshore, which made the boat quite rocky. Additionally, being wet and exposed to the wind made it feel much colder, even though the sun was strong. I think motion sickness medication and a jacket are essential.

船に乗り込んでまずは少し沖に出て、そこでシュノーケリングです。岸からそこまで離れていないのですが意外に流れと深さがあります。とはいえライフベストが配られるので心配ありません。ウミガメや小さな魚を見ながら泳ぐことができました。
その後のセーリングではイルカを間近で見ることができました。ただし風が沖では強かったこともあってかなり揺れました。また濡れたまま風にあたるので日差しは強かったのにかなり冷えました。酔い止めと上着は必須だと思います。

I went snorkeling and did some stand-up paddleboarding! It was raining heavily at first, but then it cleared up and we got to see some sea turtles(^^). There were several instructors who spoke fluent Japanese, so I felt at ease♬︎ The barbecue on the boat had plenty of food, and I was very satisfied! We also got to take a group photo, and there was a service to download it for free◎ Depending on the season and weather, it might be cold, so having a jacket could be a good idea.

シュノーケリングやその他サップなどしました！最初は大雨でしたが、後に晴れてきてウミガメさんも会いに来てくれました(^^)日本語ぺらぺらのインストラクターさんが複数居てるので、安心♬︎船上バーベキューも量も沢山あって大満足でした！集合写真も撮ってもらえて、無料でダウンロード出来るサービス付きでした◎時期や天気によっては寒い可能性もありますので上着はあるといいかもです。

Such an awesome trip- got to see 3 sea turtles right off the bat. Great staff, very friendly and they go out of their way to make this experience as best they can!

The sea was very beautiful, and it was wonderful to see so many fish swimming. Also, the coral was very large, and I was breathless at the sight I saw for the first time.
The BBQ was quite affected by the heavy rain, but the hamburgers were very delicious, and I was able to enjoy it even in the downpour.

海がとても綺麗で、魚がたくさん泳いでいるのが素敵でした。また、珊瑚がとても大きくて初めて見る光景に息を呑みました。
雨がかなりひどかったBBQでしたが、ハンバーガーがとても美味しく、大雨でも楽しめました。

At first, the boat was rocking a lot, and I got seasick, but once we entered the sea, we were able to see wild dolphins and sea turtles, which became a very valuable experience.

Whether you actually encounter them depends on luck, but we were lucky to meet them.

最初は船の揺れがひどく、酔ってしまいましたが、
海に入ってからは、野生のイルカ、ウミガメを見ることができて、とても貴重な経験になりました。

実際に出会えるかは運次第のところもありますが、
自分たちは出会えてラッキーでした。

I booked the Kailua Beach tour again this year. Last year, I signed up for stand-up paddleboarding, but this year we decided to relax on the beach, so we opted for the beach items and lunch package. We rented bikes on-site and first cycled to Lanikai Beach; the view from the high point was amazing, and the breeze felt great. After that, we relaxed at Kailua Beach until lunchtime! For lunch, we had pizza recommended by the local staff! The size was surprising. The taste was quite good too! After lunch, we cycled towards the town. Last year, we got pancakes to-go from Boots & Kimo's (takeout is quick and recommended by the local staff), but this year we ate crepes at Crepes No Ka Oi next door. The crepes here were also quite filling. Kailua is a very pleasant town to bike through.

昨年に引き続きカイルア・ビーチツアーを申し込みました。昨年はスタンドアップパドルを申し込みましたが、今年はビーチでゆっくりしようということになりビーチアイテム＆ランチ付きにしました。現地で追加で自転車を借り、まずはラニカイ・ビーチまでサイクリング、高台からの景色は最高で、風も気持ち良かったです。その後、カイルア・ビーチでお昼までゆっくり！！お昼は現地スタッフおすすめのピザを！！大きさにびっくりします。味もなかなか！！昼食後は、街に向けてサイクリング、昨年はブーツ＆キモズでパンケーキをテイクアウト（テイクアウトは時間がかからず、現地スタッフおすすめ）しましたが、今年はその横のクレープ・ノ・カ・オイでクレープを食べてきました。ここのクレープもなかなかボリュームありました。カイルアは、自転車で走るととても気持ちの良い街です。

When we arrived at the port, it was rainy, which was a bit disappointing, but as we went out to sea, the skies cleared up. The sandbar walk and encounters with sea turtles were a lot of fun. Snorkeling was also a valuable experience.

港に着いた時は雨模様で、少しがっかりだったが、沖合いに出るにつれ晴れ間が。サンドバーウォークや海ガメとの出会いはとても楽しかった。シュノーケルも貴重な体験でした。

I had a wonderful time with the lovely guide and staff! I was a bit anxious since I had a child with me, but the sandbar was shallow enough for my 2-year-old to enjoy, and we even got to see sea turtles, which was so exciting! The guide was very considerate, and we were in a great mood the whole time! I was also happy that they actively took photos for us!

Snorkeling was a bit too early for my 2-year-old, so we took turns enjoying it. The food was delicious, and having unlimited drinks was great too.

素敵なガイドさんとスタッフさんで楽しい時間を過ごせました(^^)子供づれだったので不安でしたが、サンドバーは浅瀬で2歳児でも楽しめて海亀も見れて大興奮♫ガイドさんが気遣ってくださり、終始ご機嫌でした！写真も積極的に撮ってくださり嬉しかったです！
シュノーケリングは流石に2歳には早かったので代わり番こに楽しみました。
ご飯も美味しくドリンク飲み放題なのもいいですね。

Had so much Fun.. what an amazing Experience. Would Recommend to all my family . A must when you come to Hawaii..

It was one of a kind tour. The Sand bar was very mesmerizing. Great views all around. The volleyball we played was super fun.

Turtle watching was good but not outstanding. We were able to spot a few.

However the highlight was snorkeling. Great location choosen for the activity. Amazing variety of fishes and plantlife was spotted while snorkeling.

I loved the tour and would definitely recommend it to anyone in Oahu.

Every part of the itinerary was truly wonderful, but what stood out the most was the hospitality of the staff! While I was playing at the sandbar, I dropped my glasses and was in trouble, but all the staff helped me look for them, and miraculously, they were found! Jamie, in particular, willingly took part in the search and was a great help!! Thank you for the lovely tour! The lunch we had on the boat was also very delicious.

すべての行程が本当に素晴らしかったのですが、特に素晴らしかったのが、スタッフの方々のホスピタリティー！
サンドバーで遊んでいるときに、メガネを落としてしまって、困っていたところに、スタッフ全員で探してもらい、奇跡的に見つかりました！特にジェイミーは快く捜索をかって出てくれて、本当に助かりました！！
素敵なツアーをありがとうございます！
船の上で頂いたランチもとても美味しかったです。

Dan was an awesome guide. Once he picked us up he gave us lots of little facts about Honolulu in general as we drove out. He was also very knowledgeable in answering our questions.

I liked that it was such a small group and felt that we all got some one on one time with the instructor as we needed.

Overall it was an amazing day and an experience I’ll remember for the rest of my life.

Highly recommend!

Had a long dive with the turtles. We saw 6-8 turtles and tons of fish. Crew was super friendly and very accommodating to our needs. Felt very safe with my 11 year old daughter with us. Snacks were plentiful as most were hungry after the dive. We had a nice sail after the dive too.

I participated with my child who is almost 2 years old, and we both had a great time. Since my child is still small, we didn't go snorkeling, but just floating in the sea with a life jacket was enough fun. The hamburgers and beer we had on the boat were also excellent. The staff's service was wonderful, and it became a very nice memory.

もうすぐ2歳になる子供と参加しましたが、親子でとても楽しめました。
まだ子供が小さいためシュノーケリングはしませんでしたが、ライフジャケットをつけて海に浮いてるだけでも十分楽しめました。また船上で食べたハンバーガーとビールも最高でした。
スタッフの皆さんの対応も素晴らしく、とても良い思い出になりました。

Our guides were really patient and very good at what they do. Not only do they make the whole gearing up and organizing details easy they taught my 6 year old daughter to snorkel and she actually did it! She is shy and was refusing for weeks, telling me she would not snorkel and I was quite prepared to sit on the beach with her but they wasted no time in teaching her directly 1 on 1 and getting her to put her face in the water while I got to snorkel close by. It was really great and she loved it, I loved it and the rest of the family did too. We saw beautiful fish and spent the time all pointing at things and saying "look" under water. A great day! Thank you so much!

I suddenly decided to go to Hawaii, so I made a reservation for the day I would leave Japan. When I went to the sandbar, where the water gets about 10 centimeters deep, I was surprised to see a honu (sea turtle) appear! This was my first honu encounter this time. During the cruise, I saw about 6 to 7 honu. The hamburgers for lunch were freshly grilled on the boat and were delicious. The snorkeling spot was filled with colorful fish, and I enjoyed it, but unfortunately, I couldn't swim with the honu due to bad timing. The staff were very friendly and helped me enjoy the Hawaiian sea after a long time.

急にハワイに行くことになったので日本を出発する日に予約しました。
サンドバーはひざ下10センチくらいで深くなる境に行った時にちょうどホヌがあらわれてビックリ！今回の初ホヌでした。
クルーズでは６～７のホヌをみられました。
ランチのハンバーガーも船上で焼き立てをいただき美味しかったです。
シュノーケリングのポイントは色とりどりの魚がいて楽しめましたがタイミングが悪くホヌと一緒には泳げませんでした。
スタッフの方もいろいろ声をかけてkudasari久しぶりのハワイの海を楽しめました。
