All Reviews for Oahu Snorkeling Tours

I was anxious about my first overseas trip, but I felt reassured because there were staff members who spoke Japanese. I was able to participate comfortably. The activities were also enjoyable!

The staff constantly checked in with us and kindly explained various points, so I believe even first-timers can participate with confidence.

Moreover, I was really happy that a staff member approached me and took me to see sea turtles! Thank you very much!

初めての海外旅行で不安だったのですが、日本語を話せるスタッフの方がいたので安心して参加できました。
アクティビティも体験できてとても楽しかったです！

スタッフの方々が常に声をかけてくださったり、ポイントなども丁寧に教えてくださるので初めての方でも安心して参加できると思います。

さらに、スタッフの方に声をかけていただき、ウミガメを見に連れて行ってもらえたことが本当に嬉しかったです！
ありがとうございました！

The sea was very beautiful!! I took a small child with me, and the child had a great time as well. There was plenty of time in the water, and we could play with snorkeling gear and boards until we got tired.

I booked a plan that included lunch, so we enjoyed delicious sandwiches. While on the boat, we enjoyed singing and took in the wonderful ocean views to our heart's content.

とてもきれいな海!!小さな子どもを連れて行ったのですが、子どもも大変楽しんでくれました。たっぷりの水中時間もあって、飽きるまでずっとシューケリングやボードなどを遊べます。
ランチ付きのプランを予約したので、美味しいサンドイッチを頂きました。船では歌を楽しんでいながら外の素敵な海景色を思う存分眺めました。

海の透明度、水の中に入ると色々な種類の魚がいて楽しかったです。現地の方々の接客や歌手の方の歌も心地良かったです。

A special experience. I wouldn't change a thing. Connection with nature and people. Not crowded. Staff helpful Great lunch. The sandbar was my favorite since I am not a snorkeling person. My husband enjoyed the snorkeling experience.

Great team of experts! This was my first time out in the ocean and it was a blast. They know what they’re doing and will make sure you’re safe the whole time. Will definitely check them out again in the future!

We had such a great time though it was raining and thundering the crew was amazing, the lunch was good and the snorkeling was such a fun time. The hot chocolate such a perfect way to end a cool trip!! Mahalo to the crew!!

The staff were very kind and took great care of me, even though I'm not very good at Japanese.

The atmosphere on the boat was wonderful, and the sea was truly beautiful. I was able to see a lot of fish while snorkeling, and I am very satisfied with that experience.

The banana boat was even more fun than I imagined, and it became a wonderful memory. I definitely want to participate again!

スタッフの方がとても親切で、日本語があまり得意ではない私にも最後まで丁寧に対応してくださいました。

船の雰囲気もとても良く、海も本当にきれいでした。シュノーケリングでは無事にたくさんの魚を見ることができて、とても満足しています。

バナナボートも想像以上に楽しくて、素敵な思い出になりました。ぜひまた参加したいです！

各国の人が集まり、船上ライブで出航から大盛り上がり！
海は美しく、シュノーケリング・カヤック・SUPボードの体験ができ参加して良かったです。私達は2度目の参加でしたが、次回も参加したいと思います。

Amazing trip with fabulous crew , delicious hamburger and good steinlager beer 🌺😁

Minako, who speaks Japanese, was always by our side as our guide, which made us feel very safe and allowed us to enjoy ourselves! We encountered a pod of dolphins twice, and they came right up close, allowing us to see them well. We also encountered turtles and sharks, making for a very memorable experience! Thank you to Captain Brian, guide Sarah, Koha who resembles Bruno Mars, Peter, and Lucas.

日本語が喋れるミナコさんが常につきっきりでガイドしてくださりとても安心して楽しむことができました！
イルカの群れに２回も遭遇できて目の前まで接近してきてよく見れたし、亀とサメにも遭遇してとても思い出深い体験ができました！船長のブライアンさん、ガイドのサラさん、ブルーノマーズ似のコアさん、ピーターさん、ルーカスさんありがとうございました。

We got to see plenty of tropical fish and even a sea turtle up close, which was the highlight. As well, the crew was friendly teaching the ropes to the scooters!

It was a participation in weather that had rain for the first time in 20 years. The sea was gray, the water was above our chests, and the white sand was invisible. Moreover, due to the extreme cold, we ate cup noodles on the returning boat (laughs). By the way, both of us had slight stomach issues from the cold. On bad weather days, definitely cancel!!

２０年ぶりの雨模様という天候での参加でした。
海は灰色、水は胸以上、白い砂は何も見えず、さらにあまりの寒さに、戻る船でカップヌードル食べました(笑)ちなみに２人とも、寒さでややおなか壊しました。
天候の悪い日は、必ずキャンセルを!!

Had an amazing excursion with Kaneohe! One of the absolute best days spent on the water. Booked with a group of 8 for the afternoon sail, played vball, snorkelled, paddle boarded and a huge thanks to Cal who took us out for a quick boat trip to see turtles and lucky enough to see a tiger shark!! Amazing music by the very talented musicians on board, we sang along to all their songs.. could’ve sailed for all day long! Huge thanks to the entire crew for one of the most memorable days we’ve ever had on vacation xo

We were in Hawaii in mid April right after the major storms and while they were still experiencing a significant amount of rain over what is typical for that time of year. Despite that, this excursion was still one of the major highlights of our trip.

My husband and I had done this on a previous trip to Hawaii and had such a wonderful time that we decided to do both morning and afternoon half day packages and to bring a friend this time around.

The water, while a bit chillier than last time was no where near intolerable, and the fish to feed were plentiful. The staff is very attentive and went above and beyond to ensure that we had a memorable experience.

**I want to highlight that this portion is not a guaranteed experience, nor is it typically included in the package we paid for, but want to include it as an example of how far above and beyond the staff will go to ensure a fantastic experience. They have a wonderful array of activities to do, but the wildlife interaction was the primary reason my group was there and the staff noticed this. Because I had booked both half day experiences and that was our primary interest they took us on a special boat ride to see the sea turtles AND we also got to see manta rays which normally are not on this side of the island. The person driving the boat was exceptional and very informative if you asked questions. She also knew how to ensure you got the most out of seeing the animals without disturbing their natural environment which I really appreciated as an observer. It was truly a once in a lifetime experience and it wouldn't have happened without the wonderful and thoughtful staff.

Money well spent and already planning to do the same again the next time we are in Hawaii.

The weather on the day wasn't great, but the staff set up a volleyball net, and playing volleyball in the ocean was amazing.

当日は天気はイマイチだったがスタッフがバレーボールのネットを張ってくれて海の中でのバレーは最高でした。

I made a reservation two days in advance after checking the weather. I participated in the morning tour because I wanted to make the most of the tide and the time of day. Even though it was sunny in Waikiki, it was cloudy at the location. However, during the second half of our free time, the sun came out, and I was able to take photos just as I had imagined. The staff's response was also wonderful, and I highly recommend this tour.

お天気をみて２日前に予約
当日の潮位と１日の時間を有効に使いたかったので午前便で参加しました
ワイキキは晴れていても現地は曇
自由時間後半は太陽がでて、イメージどおりの写真がとれました
スタッフの皆さんの対応も素晴らしくとてもおすすめのツアーです

I had a great time!!

We were blessed with good weather, and since I had learned snorkeling from a professional during a different activity the day before, after kayaking and other activities, we enjoyed snorkeling for over an hour. I swam with the fish and observed them!

I also participated in the banana boat and bumper tube rides, but the splashes were quite strong, making it hard to keep my eyes open for a long time, so I thought it would have been better to have goggles!

とっても楽しかったです！！
天気に恵まれたというのと、前日に別のアクティビティでプロの方にシュノーケリングを教わっていたということもあり、カヤック等をした後は1時間以上シュノーケリングを楽しみました。魚と一緒に泳いだり、魚を観察したりしました！
また、バナナボートとバンパーチューブに参加したのですが、結構水しぶきが強く目が開けられない時間が長かったので、ゴーグルがあった方が良いかなと思いました！

Even those who can't swim can participate without any issues! There's no need to worry about what to bring or changing clothes. If you minimize your valuables, you won't have to worry about your belongings, and you can enjoy a comfortable ocean experience. I was able to fully enjoy Hawaii while listening to live music.

泳げない方でも問題なく参加できます！
持参物も着替えも心配ありません。
貴重品を最小限にすれば、荷物の心配もなく、
快適な海体験ができます。
生の音楽を聞きながらハワイを堪能できました。

I participate in this tour every time I come to Hawaii. It's reassuring to have a Japanese guide. The lunch hamburger is also delicious. This time, the weather wasn't great, but the sandbar was shallow, calm, and very beautiful. While the weather and the chance to see fish and turtles can be a bit of luck, it's always fun!

ハワイに来た時は毎回このツアーに参加してます。日本語ガイドさんも居て安心です。ランチのハンバーガーも美味しいです。今回は天気はイマイチでしたがサンドバーが浅くて穏やかでとてもキレイでした。天気、魚や亀に会えるかは運なところもありますが、いつも楽しいです！

I was looking forward to enjoying the sandbar, but it didn't appear on the morning ferry during Golden Week. However, the stand-up paddleboarding experience at waist height was not scary, and I could see my feet clearly; the sea was beautiful, and it was really great. Also, snorkeling was fun because they provided fish food, which attracted the fish. Overall, I was very satisfied.

サンドバーを楽しみに行きましたが
GWの午前便では、サンドバーは出ませんでした
ですが、腰くらいの高さでのsup体験は、怖くなく、足元もよく見えて、海も綺麗で、とても良かったです
また、シュノーケルはお魚の餌をくれるのでお魚が寄ってきて楽しかったです
全体に、大満足でした

During the round trip by boat from the harbor, there were two singers and live performances. While enjoying the beautiful sea, I had a wonderful time surrounded by relaxing music. There was only one changing room, so I hurriedly changed out of my swimsuit, but I think those who stayed in their swimsuits must have been quite cold. Unfortunately, we didn't see any sandbars or turtles. We could do stand-up paddleboarding, but maybe it wasn't necessary to go all the way to Kealoha Bay?

ハーバーから船での行き帰りに、二人の歌と生演奏があった。綺麗な海を眺めながら、ゆったりと音楽につつまれながらとても良い時間を過ごせた。更衣室が一つだけだったから慌てて水着から着替えられたけど、そのままの方は、かなり寒かったのではないかと思う。運が悪かったかサンドバーや亀はみられなかった。SUPができたけどケワロ湾まで行く必要なかったかも⁈

Overall, I was quite satisfied.

First of all, being able to see a sea turtle up close was the biggest highlight, and it was worth participating just for that. I thought there might be some luck involved depending on the ocean conditions, but we were able to encounter them, which really boosted my excitement.

Also, it was great that I could enjoy the experience even with almost no English skills. The guide's explanations were simple, and they were conveyed well through gestures and the overall atmosphere. As long as I understood the basic flow, there were almost no situations where I felt lost.

全体的にかなり満足度高かったです。
まずウミガメを至近距離で見られたのが一番大きくて、これだけでも参加した価値は十分ありました。海のコンディションや運次第な部分もあると思っていたけど、しっかり遭遇できてテンション上がりました。
それと英語がほとんどできなくても問題なく楽しめたのも良かった点です。ガイドの説明はシンプルで、ジェスチャーや雰囲気で十分伝わるし、最低限の流れさえ分かっていれば困る場面はほぼありませんでした。

This was a fun cruise to a beautiful sandbar! The live music on the cruise was amazing! Would do this again!

I felt安心 (safe) with the Japanese staff. All the staff were cheerful. It was enjoyable to freely enjoy marine sports like kayaking or just sitting on a bench and gazing at the sea. The clarity of the water was incredibly beautiful, and I was able to see sea turtles. It became a wonderful memory. I would love to repeat this experience, but I hope jet skiing could be an option as well.

日本人スタッフがいて安心でした。
スタッフみんな陽気な方ばかりでした。
自由にカヤック等マリンスポーツを楽しんだり、ベンチでぼーっと海を眺めてるだけで楽しかったです。海の透明感がすごく綺麗で海亀も見れます。とても思い出になりました。またリピートしたいですが、ジェットスキーがオプションで出来るといいなと思いました。

A trip with a 60-year-old couple and their daughter.
I appreciate the guide's efficiency and thoughtfulness. I'm glad we finally got to meet the sea turtles.
I usually don't get car sick, but I did get seasick.

60歳夫婦と娘の3人旅
ガイドさんの手際良さや気遣いに感謝してます。念願のウミガメさんにも会えてよかったです。
普段、車酔いしたことありませんでしたが、波酔いしました。

I couldn't see the sandpit, but it was fun! 😃 I enjoyed kayaking, snorkeling, and seeing sea turtles. The donuts for a light snack were also delicious! 😁

砂場は見られなかったが楽しかった😃
カヤック、シュノーケリング、ウミガメ、楽しめました
軽食のドーナツも美味しかった😁

It was a rainy season, but due to a storm the day before, our 8 AM departure was changed to 12 PM for safety reasons. We were contacted the day before and were kindly informed that we could decide whether to participate or not, and we chose to go ahead with the change instead of canceling.

We were picked up in Ko Olina and then made several stops in Waikiki, so we waited about 20 minutes longer than the scheduled meeting time. The participants were a mix of Japanese and foreigners, and there were several families with children as well.

On the day of the tour, it was clear skies, but the sea was rough due to the recent bad weather, and I experienced a bit of seasickness. I recommend bringing motion sickness medication for those who are prone to it.

After about an hour of fast sailing out to the dolphin viewing spot, we were able to see several dolphins swimming around the boat. And just a little further ahead, we even spotted a whale! The sight of the whale jumping was incredibly moving. It wasn't the season for whale watching, so we were very lucky.

We thoroughly enjoyed watching the whales and dolphins, but when we moved to the snorkeling spot, the sea was quite dirty due to the storm's impact, and the marine activities were canceled, so we couldn't go into the water. I was looking forward to snorkeling as well, so that was a bit disappointing.

On the way back, the crew put on a hula show for us, and we were able to see the rare whale again, making it an overall satisfying tour.

雨の多い時期でしたが前日に嵐がきたこともあり、8時出発を予約してましたが安全性優先とのことで12時発に変更となりました。
それに関しては前日にご連絡を頂き、参加するかどうかはこちらで判断していいと丁寧にご案内され、私たちはキャンセルせずに変更を選択しました。
私たちはコオリナでのピックアップ、ワイキキで何ヶ所かピックアップしてからなので集合時間より20分ほど待ちました。
参加者は日本人と外国人半々といった感じで、お子様連れのファミリーも数組参加されていました。
当日は快晴でしたが、連日の悪天候の影響で海は荒れており私は少し船酔いをしました。
苦手な方は酔い止め持参をおすすめします。
イルカが見られるスポットまで約1時間ほどかなり沖まで高速で進むと、船の回りを泳ぐ何頭ものイルカを見ることができました。
そして、少し先には何とクジラまで！
クジラのジャンプはとても感動的でした。
本来クジラが見られる時期ではなかったので、とても運がよかったです。
存分にクジラとイルカを堪能しましたが、シュノーケルスポットに移動すると嵐の影響で海がかなり汚れており、マリンアクテビティは中止ということで海に入ることもてきませんでした。
イルカウォッチだけでなくシュノーケルなども楽しみにしていたので、少し残念でした。
帰路では船上でクルーの方々がフラショーを観せて下さり、貴重なクジラも見ることができて全体的には満足なツアーでした。

There is about 2 hours of playtime on-site, which is plenty of time to enjoy. The ratio of Japanese participants is around 30%. The staff is friendly, and the atmosphere is nice. I was able to see a lot of fish while snorkeling. However, hitting the coral can be painful and can cause scrapes, so be careful. I participated during a low tide according to the tide chart, but the water level was about knee-deep, and it wasn't the sandbar I had imagined.

現地での遊ぶ時間は約2時間あり、十分楽しめます。日本人の比率は3割くらい。スタッフも気さくで雰囲気もいいです。シュノーケリングで魚もたくさん見ることができました。珊瑚に当たると痛いし擦り傷になります。注意です。潮見表で潮位の低い時間帯に参加しましたが、水位は膝くらいで想像していたサンドバーにはなっていませんでした。

As soon as the boat set off, we were able to see a pod of dolphins. It was amazing to see them up close so quickly, and afterward, we spotted three whales and got to see their beautiful tails. As we continued on, we encountered another whale swimming by, and I was incredibly moved to see it slowly swimming beneath us while we were snorkeling after jumping off the boat. We also saw another pod of dolphins and went snorkeling where there were fish, and we even met a sea turtle. I think it was a very lucky day, filled with continuous excitement. Thank you very much!

船が出てすぐにイルカの群れを見る事ができました。こんなに早く近くで見られて、その後にはクジラが、3頭見られてきれいなテイルを見る事ができました。進んで行くとまた違うクジラが、泳いでいて、船から飛び込んでシュノーケリングで、私たちの下をゆっくりと泳いで行くクジラを見られてすごく感動しました。その後もイルカの群れを見られましたし、魚たちがいるところでシュノーケリングをしウミガメにも会えました。とてもラッキーな日だったと思いますが感動の連続でした。ありがとうございました

It was a sandbar experience in light rain, but when we arrived, the tide was low, allowing us to finally set foot on it. After playing with stand-up paddleboards and powerful water guns, we went snorkeling. I was thrilled to see many fish and the honu (sea turtles) hiding among the rocks. The most moving moment was when a honu gracefully swam right underneath me, turning around just below me, allowing me to see its impressive size for a long time.

The staff were all friendly, and there were even some who spoke Japanese, which made me feel comfortable participating.

小雨の中でのサンドバーでしたが到着時刻に潮が引いていて念願の上陸ができました。SUPやすごい威力の水鉄砲で遊んだりした後にシュノーケリング。たくさんの魚や岩陰にいるホヌに喜んでいたのですが、一番の感動はホヌが優雅に泳いできて触ってしまうのではというくらいのすぐ真下でUターンしてくれて長い時間すごい大きさで見れたことです。
スタッフの皆さんも楽しくて日本語を話される方もいらしたので安心して参加できました。
