On the day of the event, it was cloudy, but I felt it was better than rain, so I participated. At the sandbar, the water level was up to my knees, but that was within expectations. The staff took a lot of photos and kept the atmosphere lively on the boat, which made it enjoyable. If there's one thing I would like to see improved, it's that many people were kicking at the surface while snorkeling, which made the water murky. I hope they can provide a stronger reminder at the beginning.
当日は雲でしたので、雨よりはマシという気持ちで参加しました。
サンドバーでは膝あたりまで水位がありましたが、想定内でした。
スタッフの方々がたくさん写真も撮ってくださったり、船上で盛り上げてくださるので、楽しませてもらいました。
一点改善いただきたいことがあるとすれば、
シュノーケリングの際に、水面でバタ足をする人が多く、水中が濁っていました。
もっとはじめのタイミングでしっかり注意を促してほしいなと思いました。

On the day of the tour, it was cloudy with occasional rain until we reached Angel's Sea, but it cleared up around the turtle watching. Since it's a sightseeing spot by the sea, satisfaction can greatly depend on the weather, but the crew was very cheerful, and we were able to have a great time throughout the experience.

Regarding the sandbar, the tides are important, so I think you'll have a great time if you consider that when booking a tour. On the day we went, the water level was just about knee-deep, so the white sandy beach was visible and it was really beautiful!
サンドバーに関しては、潮の満ち干が重要なので、それを考慮してツアーを申し込むと、とても楽しめると思います。私たちが利用した日は、海面が丁度膝下くらいの高さだったので、白い砂浜が見えてすごくきれいでした!

I had an amazing time! The staff were fun and shared a lot of interesting stories, so I was never bored. I laughed a lot! A turtle also came by, and I was able to swim with it. It was incredible! Thank you for taking so many photos as well. The barbecue on the boat was delicious, and I even had seconds. I thought I might get seasick, but since the boat was only moving for about five minutes and then we were just floating around in the sea, I didn't feel sick at all. I couldn't do snorkeling, but I borrowed various things like a bodyboard and stand-up paddleboard and had a great time playing.

We participated in a sandbar tour for the first time as a family of three. It was the only day of our trip that it rained all day. Despite the unfortunate weather, the staff communicated in Japanese and made us feel at ease. The water level at the sandbar was about waist-deep, but we had a great time playing volleyball and other activities. We also encountered sea turtles and manta rays. The BBQ cheeseburger for lunch was even better than we expected! There were seconds available, but one was filling enough. Drinks like cola and iced tea were free. On the way back, we experienced some engine trouble with the boat, but we were towed back safely by a helper boat. The staff explained the issues thoroughly, so we were able to enjoy the experience without any worries.

The guidance was clear and easy to understand in Japanese, allowing me to enjoy the half-day experience. I checked the tide schedule in advance and chose the morning course since I was attending with a one-year-old.

This was my second time participating, but unfortunately, the weather was a bit worse compared to my last visit. I would like to come back on a sunny day to show my child the sandbar!

Thanks to that, the water level was below our knees, and the weather was great, allowing us to have a wonderful time.
We also got to see sea turtles and enjoyed snorkeling around the coral with my daughter.
The tour staff were very friendly and took photos for us. If there's another opportunity, I would definitely like to participate again.

I checked the low tide times during my stay and chose a day when the tour coincided with low tide. Unfortunately, it was a day with a low tide of 0.9 feet, so the water was only knee-deep, but there were no waves, and both my elementary school-aged children and my one-year-old had plenty of fun playing. The sandbar was incredibly beautiful, and I was truly moved! My one-year-old daughter and I waited on the boat during snorkeling, but the staff supported my son. The hamburgers on the boat were delicious, and our cheerful guide was the best! It was a very satisfying day!

In June, I participated in this tour. When I first tried snorkeling, I struggled and couldn't really see much underwater, which was a disaster. So, I really hesitated about joining this time, but after reading other people's experiences, I decided to go for it.
As a result, I received really kind and thorough instruction from Chieko and Dan, and I am truly grateful to them. I was scared to even put my face in the water and thought I might not be able to do it, but Dan told me to breathe slowly and relax, holding my hand tightly. Then, the tour with six people started! Chieko took over and guided us, swimming while holding our hands. Gradually, my fear disappeared, and when we spotted fish, Chieko would call out and even tell us their names, which made me very happy.
Since the rocks are very close, I recommend borrowing a wetsuit. It helps those who are not very good at swimming to float more easily and prevents injuries. The snorkel I borrowed here ensures that as long as you can breathe through your mouth, no water will come in, so for those who are anxious like me or not confident in swimming, you can definitely participate. If I could do it, anyone can... haha.
Swimming for almost an hour can be quite tiring, but seeing the fish makes all the fatigue disappear. If you want to get out, they will take you back to shore.
Lastly, there can be some seasickness, so I think it's a good idea for those prone to motion sickness to take medication beforehand. Thank you so much, Chieko, for holding my hand and swimming with me until the very end. I had the experience of swimming with fish in the ocean for the first time. I am grateful.
6月、このツアーに参加させていただきました。初めてシュノーケルした時は、上手く出来ずろくに海の中を見る余裕もなく最悪だったので今回参加するにあたって本当に悩みましたが他の方の体験談を読み思い切って参加させていただきました。
結果、本当に親切丁寧に教えてくださってチエコさんダンさんには本当にお世話になりました。顔をつけるところから怖くて無理かなあ?と思っていたところ、ダンさんがゆっくり息をしてください。力抜いてくださいと言って手をしっかり握ってくださいました。そして、6名でのツアースタート!チエコさんに交代してみんなの後をしっかり手をひっぱって泳いでくれました。だんだん怖さもなくなり、魚をみつけてはチエコさんが声をかけてくださって、お魚の名前も教えてくれたり、うれしかったです。岩がとっても近いのでウエットスーツを借りることをおすすめします。泳ぎがあまり得意でない方は浮きやすくなりますし、ケガ防止にもなります。こちらでお借りしたシュノーケルは呼吸さえ口で出来れば絶対に水が入ってくることはありませんので、私のように不安のある方、泳ぎが得意でない方、参加を迷われてる方、大丈夫です。私でもできましたから。。。。笑
1時間近く泳ぎっぱなしでかなり疲れますがお魚さんを見たら疲れも吹っ飛びますよ。上がりたくなれば沖まで連れて行ってくれます。
最後に波酔いがありますので、船酔いしやすい方は薬を飲んでいくといいと思います。
本当にチエコさん最後の最後まで手を引っ張って泳いで下さりありがとうございました。はじめて海の中をお魚さんと一緒に泳げるという体験をさせていただきました。感謝しています。
Candy, thank you for joining our tour! I'm glad to hear you enjoyed it!! Snorkeling is an activity that anyone can enjoy as long as you breathe calmly through your mouth. It really depends on your enthusiasm to give it a try! (laughs) In our tour, we use dry snorkels, so it's less likely for water to enter your mouth, making it perfect for beginners. Please do consider joining us again when you come back to Hawaii.
Thank you very much. Mahalo!!

We had a great morning cruise with Dolphins and You. The local crew (certified life guards and professional entertainers!) were very friendly and full of energy. They explained everything in both English and Japanese since there were quite a large number of Japanese tourists on our 40 person tour. There was music and dancing on the way to the spinner dolphin site. We sat at the back of the boat and enjoyed the sun and sea air; thank goodness we had lots of sunscreen! I wear glasses and there were prescription masks on the boat so I could see everything clearly.
The crew-led Hawaiian chant and orchid offering when we entered the dolphin site brought us good luck. The crew went in the water with us and pointed out several pods of dolphins swimming right by. I wanted to stay with the dolphins longer, but we had another scheduled stop. At the snorkeling site, a sea turtle swam right under our group and there were lots of fish all around. The inflatable water slide, “surfboard” and kayak added to the fun. For lunch we had cheeseburgers on taro buns with bags of chips — very tasty. The crew sang and danced a couple of hulas on the way back; a perfect ending to a great morning!
We drove from our hotel, arrived at the Waianae Boat Harbor early, and were a little concerned when we didn’t see any signs for Dolphins and You. However, a bus with Dolphins and You on the side pulled into the parking lot right where they said to meet at the specified meeting time. Be sure to take Dramamine if you think you might get motion sickness. Several people on the cruise got sick, even though I didn’t think it was very rough. I took a Dramamine before we left on the Dolphins and You cruise and was fine (I had gotten sick on a previous snorkel trip to Molokini off of Maui). Definitely APPLY SUNSCREEN early and often...the sun is very strong on the water.
Aloha Cathy, and mahalo for your 5-star review! We appreciate you taking the time to share your detailed and thoughtful review of our tour! And we're so glad that you appreciated the extra dose of Aloha that is unique to Dolphins and You :).
We could not agree more with your suggestions of Dramamine and sunscreen use. That's the best way to stay comfortable on the water. We also recommend reef-safe sunscreen (which we offer in our office in Waikiki) to protect both your skin AND Hawaii's fragile coral reefs! Thank you again for your review. Please come again some day!

We’ve been on snorkeling cruises in the past (some out of Waianae Boat Harbor) but never with this company. We visit Hawaii often (my wife was born and raised in the islands) we view island activities with a critical eye. This was a super dolphin/snorkel trip. The cruise is on a smaller boat, which has the advantage of offering a smaller group of people, a more intimate experience, and a little more adventurous ride - I like all three. Staff on these boats are there to 1. Offer safety 2. Offer service and 3. Offer fun and adventure. The Dolphin’s and You staff were excellent on all counts. I’ve seen the “fun” part on other boats get a little smarmy, but the staff on this boat really did a great job of encouraging people to participate and enjoy themselves without being overly “slick” or pushy. They also had some talented people who shared music I found enjoyable.
I take my own pictures with underwater stills and video. The videographer/photographer on the trip did a super job and was kind enough to show me some great shots while still attending to everyone on board. I wish I could say that about all the snorkeling/watching tours we’ve been on.
Overall I’d say this was a really good trip - for anyone - experienced or novice. Tips: If you have motion sickness, or aren’t sure if you have motion sickness, take dramamine. Do it. Take sunscreen - Use it. If you’re not familiar with photography (above and below water) leave your gear at home. Experience the trip and allow the professional the ship provides offer you some of the best shots you’ll ever see - most likely better images than you can take yourself. Fooling with gear and worrying about taking pictures, will detract from the memories you can make just being in the water and seeing the amazing things the crew will show you.
There are lifetime memories you can take away from a half-day trip like this. It might *seem* pricey to some, but I assure you that it is worth every cent and you’ll be ready for more.
Aloha Bruce! Thank you so much for your sincere 5-Star review.
We so appreciate you taking the time to offer this genuine feedback and to provide tips for other guests. We agree with your suggestions on all counts! Coming from a guest who has been on many tours and a photographer, this review means a lot. We invite you to come and try out our waterfall hike tour Nature and You or our circle-island tour Island and You on one of your trips back to the island, as well!

We participated as a couple. After arriving in Hawaii, we struggled with the time difference and contacted them to see if we could change our schedule from morning to afternoon. Fortunately, we were able to move it to the following afternoon. They were flexible and accommodating, which we greatly appreciated.
Upon meeting Chieko, whose reliable yet gentle demeanor put us at ease, we were able to express our concerns right away, and she was very considerate throughout. After joining Dan and a family from Seattle, we received excellent support and were able to enjoy snorkeling with peace of mind.
We were thrilled to see a honu and even downloaded photos from Facebook. I took motion sickness medication, but my husband ended up feeling seasick, and I apologize for any concern that caused. However, we had a wonderful time! Thank you!

ちょうど空きがあったとのことでしたが、柔軟に対応いただき、大変ありがたかったです。
チエコさんの頼もしくも優しい雰囲気に、お会いしてすぐ心配な点をお伝えすることができ、いろいろとお気遣いいただきました。
ダンさんと、シアトルからのファミリーと合流した後は、手厚いフォローでシュノーケリングを安心して楽しむことができました。
ホヌにも会えて、Facebookから写真もダウンロードできて、嬉しかったです。
酔い止めを飲んでいましたが、主人が波酔いしてしまい、ご心配をおかけしました。
でも、とても楽しめました!
ありがとうございます!
Dear TAKA, thank you for joining the tour with Blue Hawaii Divers. From the moment we first met, I noticed that your husband seemed unwell, so I was wondering if you would be able to go snorkeling. Please do join us again next time when you are both feeling better. We are always here to welcome you. Thank you very much. Mahalo!!
TAKA様、この度はブルーハワイダイバースのツアーにお越しいただき、ありがとうございます。最初にお会いした時からご主人様は具合がまだ悪いご様子でしたので、シュノーケリングができるのかしらと思っておりました。是非次回は体調が良い時にまたお二人でご参加くださいね。いつでもお待ちしております。
本当にありがとうございました。Mahalo!!

I've participated in the afternoon tour several times, but it seemed like the water level was lower before... This time, while walking to the sandbar, the water level reached about my mother's chest (she's 152 cm tall)... It was a bit disappointing, but there were very friendly sea turtles swimming around the boat, and the lunch was delicious. The waves were a bit high this time, so it looked tough to swim back, so I didn't go snorkeling and instead swam with the sea turtles around the boat.
何回か午後のツアーに参加してますが、以前のほうが水位は低かったような・・・。今回はサンドバーにたどり着くまで歩いてる際、母(身長152cm)の胸あたりまで水位が・・・。ちょっと残念でしたが、ボートの周りにとてもフレンドリーなウミガメ泳いでいたし、ランチもおいしかったです。
今回波が高めで泳いで帰ってくるのがつらそうだったので私はシュノーケリングには行かず、ボートの周りでウミガメと泳いでました。
Aloha! It's a shame that the ocean conditions weren't perfect this time. It's a natural phenomenon, so it's quite difficult. Please do come back with your mother for a rematch and enjoy the heavenly sea!
アロハ!今回は海のコンディションがパーフェクトでなくて残念。自然現象なのでなかなか難しいですね。
ぜひ!またお母様とリベンジで天国の海に遊びにいらしてくださいね。

The sandbar was not the completely sandy beach I imagined, but rather a beautiful shallow area that reaches about the knees of an adult. Even children could stand easily, and since there were no waves, they were able to practice swimming and seemed to be having a lot of fun. Tours that include lunch on the boat often don't offer great meals, but this tour provided freshly grilled hamburgers. There are also paid options for wine and beer, making it a tour that both adults and children can enjoy. I would love to repeat this experience next time.
サンドバーは想像とは違って完全な砂浜ではなく大人の膝下くらいの美しい浅瀬が広がる場所でした。子供でも足がつくうえに波がないので泳ぎの練習ができとても楽しそうにしていました。船上での昼食付きのツアーは大した食事がでない事が多いですがこちらのツアーでは焼きたてのハンバーガーが食べられます。有料ですがワインやビールもあり大人も子供も楽しめるツアーだと思います。また次回リピートしたいです。

It was written that pregnant women are welcome, so I participated! It was a bit cloudy and cold, so I hesitated to go into the sea, but the guide encouraged me, and I went in for the last part! They took a lot of photos, and it became the best memory! I was able to see a sea turtle, and the hamburger was delicious, so I'm glad I participated!
妊婦参加OKと書かれていたので、参加させていただきました!少し曇っていて寒かったので、海に入るのは迷っていましたが、ガイドの方に誘っていただき、最後の方だけ入りました!写真もたくさん撮っていただき、最高の思い出になりました!
ウミガメに会うこともできて、ハンバーガーもおいしくて、参加してよかったです!

From pick-up to drop-off, as well as during the bus ride, boat trip, and meals, everything was handled in Japanese. The guide was also an interesting person, so I was never bored. Of course, the ocean was fantastic, and I was able to get up close to sea turtles.
送り迎えから、バス、船、食事中まで、全て日本語で対応OKでした。
ガイドさんも面白い方で、飽きませんでした。
もちろん海も最高で、ウミガメにもまじかで接することが出来ました。

We took a boat to a wonderful sandbar!
It was cloudy, so the photos didn't turn out great, but in reality, the water was clear and beautiful!
The Japanese guide really got everyone excited, took lots of photos, and it became a great memory!
The snorkeling was amazing with beautiful fish swimming around and the coral was stunning!
The BBQ hamburgers we had on the boat were very American and absolutely delicious!
The guide's child was there too, and they were adorable!
They even showed us the location of the turtles using a clock as a reference!
船にのって素敵なサンドバーへ!
曇っていたので写真映りは悪いですが実際は透き通ってて綺麗でした!!
日本人ガイドさんが盛り上げてくれて、写真も沢山撮ってくれて、いい思い出なりました!
シュノーケリングは綺麗な魚が泳いでて珊瑚も綺麗で最高でした!
船の上で食べるBBQハンバーガーはアメリカらしくて最高でした!
ガイドさんの子どももいて可愛かったです!
亀の場所も時計にみたてて教えてくれました!

This is my youngest son's first trip to Hawaii. He asked to go snorkling. So I thought it would be even more fun to snorkle with turtles. And so we did. We had such an amazing experience, staffs were very nice and helpful. It was fun to see many turtles and fishes. We had so much fun. And at the end of our Hawaii trip, I asked my son, which one was the most memorable one of all the places we went to in Hawaii, and he said snorkling with turtles!!!
