All Reviews for Oahu Snorkeling Tours

I was surprisingly able to meet wild dolphins very easily. The dolphins were resting, so we could swim closely with them during the group snorkeling! The guide's enthusiasm was also amazing.

びっくりするぐらい簡単に野生のイルカに会えました。イルカさんはお休み中なので集団シュノーケリングで間近で一緒に泳げる！
ガイドさんの熱がまたサイコーですよ。

I highly recommend the sandbar adventure if you're in Oahu. We were picked up close to our hotel. The bus trip was very comfortable and the tour guide was informative and entertaining. The sandbar was amazing! We were able to walk around and they also set up a net for those who are interested in playing volleyball. We had hamburgers for lunch with chips and bbq beans. The snorkeling was also enjoyable. We were able to see and swim with the sea turtles and tropical fish along the protected coral reef. The staff was so laid back and organized. I highly suggest bringing swim shoes, towel and extra change of clothing. There is a bathroom in the pier. We love it so much we are planning to do it again.

I participated in a prestigious university dolphin tour in late February! The weather was great, and the sea was a beautiful deep blue! I joined the tour on the second boat! The weather was nice, but it was definitely the right choice to go with the second boat since it was warmer! Most people rented wetsuits because the wind was strong, and I think having one is reassuring! I'm really glad I participated in the tour! We were able to see whales right from the start! Then, we immediately swam with a large group of dolphins! They were so cute and it was truly moving! After that, we encountered many turtles and there seemed to be seals as well! We had fun kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding, and time flew by! I was worried about getting seasick, but the boat was stable! There were also small children participating, and they seemed to be having a great time! Above all, our guide, Juri, had such a bright personality and her talk was really enjoyable! The photographer was also a very interesting person! They took a lot of beautiful photos for us! I would love to participate again if I have the chance!

2月の後半に名門大学イルカツアーに参加してきました！お天気も良く海もとっても濃いブルーでとっても綺麗でした！2便でのツアーで参加しました！天気は良かったですが、2便の方が暖かくて正解でした！風が強かったのでほとんどの人がウエットスーツをレンタルしていました！あった方が安心だと思います！ツアーは本当に参加して良かったです！出発からすぐにクジラを見る事ができました！そして、すぐにイルカの大群と泳げました！本当に可愛くて感動しました！そのあと沢山の亀にも遭遇したり、アザラシもいたようです！カヌーやスタンドアップパドルボートをしたり、楽しくてあっという間に時間が過ぎてしまいました！船も酔わないか心配でしたが、安定した船でした！小さい子供も参加されてましたが、楽しそうでした！そして、なによりガイドのじゅりさん、とても明るい性格とトークが、とっても楽しかったです！カメラマンさんもとても、おもしろい方でした！綺麗な写真を沢山撮っていただきました！また、機会があったら参加したいです！

I participated in a tour to see dolphins for the first time!! In the morning, they picked us up at the hotel, and the explanation began on the bus. The guide created a lively and fun atmosphere for all participants!! The dolphin school lesson was also very easy to understand.
At this time, we were asked about renting wetsuits. It was $10 per person, but since it was cold during this season, renting was definitely the right choice! By the way, everyone ended up renting one.
After getting on the boat, we spotted dolphins in about 20 minutes!! Even though it was my first time snorkeling with dolphins, I was truly moved to hear their voices! The blue sea and blue sky!! It was such a wonderful world. It seemed we found the dolphins early, and afterwards, we were taken to dolphin spots 2 or 3 more times, allowing us to swim with them. I'm glad I participated in the dolphin school. If I have the chance again, I will definitely join!

初めてイルカを見にいくツアーに参加しました！！朝はホテルまで迎えに来ていただき、バスの中で説明が始まります。ガイドさんは元気よく参加者全員が面白く楽しい雰囲気作りをして下さいます！！イルカ中学の授業もとてもわかりやすいです。
この時にウエットスーツのレンタルを聞かれます。お一人10ドルでしたがこの時期は寒いのでレンタルして正解でした！ちなみに全員の方がレンタルされました。
船に乗ってからは20分くらいでイルカを発見出来ました！！シュノーケリングでイルカと泳ぐのは初めてにも関わらずイルカの声が聞けて本当に感動しました！青い海に青い空！！本当に素敵な世界でした。早めにイルカを見つける事が出来たみたいでその後も2.3回イルカスポットに連れていって下さりイルカと泳ぐ事が出来ました。イルカ中学に参加して良かったです。また機会があったら絶対に参加させていただきます！

I participated with two friends.
The sea in heaven was amazing.
If you're coming to Hawaii, I think you should definitely go at least once!

友人と3人で参加をしました。
天国の海最高でした。
ハワイに来るのであれば一度は行ったほうがいいと思います。！！

When we arrived at the sandbar, we only played in the sea, so it might be cold. However, they lend you wetsuits for free! I had a lot more fun wearing one. All the staff were really entertaining; they helped us ride the surfboards and kept us engaged with stories. The water level was a bit high, so we couldn't see the beach, but it was still beautiful.

During my visit, the wind was strong, and snorkeling was canceled, but instead, they showed us a lot of turtles. It was so exciting! Even if you can't do one activity, they will definitely make sure you have fun, so I think you can participate with peace of mind.

サンドバーに到着すると海で遊ぶのみなので、寒いかもしれないです。でもウェットスーツを無料で貸してくれます！借りたほうが思いっきり楽しめました。スタッフの方は全員すごく面白くて、サーフボードに乗せてくれたりお話しで楽しませてくれたりします。少し海面が高かったのか砂浜は見られませんでしたが十分綺麗でした。
私の回は風が強くシュノーケリングがなくなりましたが、その代わりたくさんのカメを見せてくれました。大興奮でした。何か１つできなくても必ず楽しませてくれるので安心して参加できると思います。

It was beautiful, anyway.
The BBQ was of higher quality than I expected, and I was surprised. I had a hamburger, and it was very delicious.
Also, all the staff were friendly, and I had a great time throughout the tour. While it can be affected by the weather, most tours and events in Hawaii depend on the weather, so even if you have concerns about the weather, I definitely recommend you go!

とにかくきれいでした。
BBQは思っていたよりクオリティが高くて驚きました。私はハンバーガーを食べました。とても美味でした。
あと、スタッフの方はみんなフレンドリーでツアー中はずっと楽しかったです。天候に左右されますが、ハワイでのツアーやイベントなんてほとんど天候次第なので天気に対する不安があっても是非足を運んでみて下さい！

Had such an amazing time! Got to see lots of fish & sea turtles, even got to hold an octopus. The crew members were very helpful & very nice. Best snorkeling adventure! Would recommend to everyone!!

The weather was nice, but the sea had waves, and many people got seasick. It was great to see dolphins right away, but I was really disappointed that I only got to interact with them once... There were a lot of people, so it took some time, but I would have liked to swim with the dolphins at least one more time.

天気はよかったけど、海は波もあり船酔いする人続出でした。イルカもすぐに会えてよかったのですが、1回しかアタックしてもらえなかったのが、とても残念でした…人数も多かったので、時間がかかるのですが、もう1回位イルカと泳ぎたかったです。

I used the service in July 2016. Hanauma Bay was as beautiful as rumored, and the guide was friendly, with solid safety measures in place, making me feel secure and allowing me to relax and enjoy snorkeling. The life jackets were also comfortable to wear. Personally, I appreciated that many photos were taken, which was great, but I later realized that the system was to download the ones uploaded to Facebook, and since I didn't want to be featured, that was a bit unpleasant. Overall, I had a very good experience using the service.

2016年７月に利用させていただきました。ハナウマ灣は噂どおり美しく、ガイドの方はフレンドリー、安全対策もしっかりとしていて頼りがいがあり、リラックスしてシュノーケリングを楽しむことができました。ライフジャケットがつけ心地のよいものなのもよかったです。個人的な感覚ですが、写真をたくさん撮ってくださり、それはとてもよかったのですが、Facebookにアップしたものをダウンロードして受け取るシステムだったことをあとから理解したので、載りたくなかったので、それは少し嫌でした。総合的には利用してとてもよかったです。

The sea was quite rough, but I was able to encounter dolphins and swim with them right away. I also got to see sea turtles, and I was very satisfied.

海は結構荒れてましたが、すぐにイルカと遭遇でき一緒に泳ぐことができました。ウミガメも見ることができて、大満足です。

The underwater scooter experience is my second time, but no matter how many times I try it, it never fails to impress. Many fish came close, and a turtle also appeared. My whole family enjoyed it very much, and we look forward to doing it again next time.

水中スクーター体験は、2回目ですが何度体験しても、感動します。魚もたくさん近くに来てくれて、亀も来ました。家族みんなとても楽しめ、次回も再度お願いいたします。

Great time saw lots of turtles and fish also sailed alittle

The water was quite murky.
Snorkeling was a fun experience, different from usual.
Turtle watching was more enjoyable than I imagined.
Next time, I want to go when the sand is out.

くるびしくらい海水はありました。
シュノーケルはいつもと違う体験で楽しかったです
ウミガメウオッチングも想像より楽しかったです
今度は砂が出ているときに行きたいです

The wonderful crew really made the experience enjoyable, and we were able to see dolphins! It was a lot of fun, but the waves were rough, so I recommend bringing motion sickness medication!

ステキなクルーのみなさんで盛り上げて下さり、イルカも見ることができました！とても楽しかったのですが、波が荒く船酔いしてしまったので酔い止めを持っていくことをオススメします！

I participated in March, and on that day, the guide mentioned it was colder than winter. Indeed, it was tough on the boat without something to wear over. Of course, the sea was cold as well, but I joined the snorkeling. Instead of snorkeling individually, everyone lined up and swam back and forth. With that many people, I suppose it can't be helped. Next time, I want to join on a day with better weather and also consider the tides. On that day, the water level was up to my knees.

3月に参加したのですが、この日はガイドさんが冬より寒いと仰ってました。
確かにボートのうえは、羽織る物がないと辛かったです。　勿論海も寒かったですが、シュノーケルにも参加。各自テキトーにシュノーケルではなく、みんな並んで列を作って泳ぐ→戻る。あれだけの人数がいたら仕方ないのかと思いますが。次回はもっと天気の良い日、また潮の満ち引きも考えて参加したいです。この日は膝した位まで水位ありました。

The crew, the experience and the other people on board from around the world!! Would do it again in a heartbeat!

This was my second experience.

This time there were waves, and many people got seasick. Thank you to the crew for handling the situation.

Unfortunately, despite the captain's search efforts, we weren't able to see any dolphins. Last time, we were able to see dolphins multiple times... But it's nature, so it can't be helped. However, the ukulele live performance and dance on board were very lovely.

I look forward to the next time!! (^^) Thank you! (The next time is undecided...)

二回目目の体験でした。

今回はうねりがあり、船酔いの方が続出でした。
アロハを処理するクルーの皆さん、ご苦労様でした。

キャプテンの捜索努力も実らず、イルカに会うことはできませんでした。
前回は何回もイルカと会うことができたのですが・・
自然相手ですから仕方ないですね。
でも、船上でのウクレレライブとダンスはとても素敵でした。

次回に期待します！！（＾＾）
ありがとうございました！
　（次回は未定ですが・・・)

I was very satisfied to see a pod of dolphins, sea turtles, and whales. The staff were all nice, and I had a great time on the boat. I highly recommend it!

イルカの群れもウミガメもクジラも見れて大満足でした。スタッフさんがみんないい人で、船上でも楽しんで過ごせました。おすすめです！

I was anxious about whether I would get to see dolphins, but I was very happy to encounter not only many dolphins but also a whale! Since it was January, it was so cold that I had to wear a wetsuit to enter the sea, so I thought it would be good if the rental fee for the wetsuit, which is $10, was included from the start. The water was very clear, and I also got to see beautiful fish. From the boat, we even spotted a sea turtle!

After meeting the dolphins, we enjoyed activities like slides and snorkeling, making the most of our time in the ocean! For lunch, we had delicious cheeseburgers made by the captain! We all had a great time singing and dancing together, and the staff really made the experience lively and fun. Since I went to Hawaii for my honeymoon, I wanted to participate in something memorable, and I'm glad I did!

Lastly, I paid $60 for the photos, but I was a little sad that there were only two types of photos from underwater ( ; ; ) I wish they had offered a bit more variety (laughs).

イルカに会えるか不安でしたが‥実際にたくさんのイルカにはもちろんのこと。クジラにも出会えてとても嬉しかったです！！1月なのでとてもウェットスーツを着なければ海に入れない寒さでしたので、料金の中に最初からウェットスーツレンタル代の10ドル込みで良いのでは？！と思いました。海の中はとても透き通っており、綺麗な魚にも出会えました。船の上からはウミガメにも出会えました＊
イルカに会った後は滑り台やsap等のアクティビィティも行え、海遊びを堪能できました！！
お昼ご飯はキャプテン手作りのチーズバーガー、美味しかったです！！みんなで楽しく歌ったり、ダンスをしたり、
スタッフの方々がとても盛り上げて下さり、とっても楽しい時間が過ごせました。今回、ハネムーンでハワイに行きましたので、何か思い出に残る体験がしたいと！思いから参加しました。参加して良かったです♡
最後に‥写真代60ドルを払ったのですが‥海の中の写真が2パターンのみというのが少し悲しかったです（ ; ; ）もう少しアピールをすればよかったです（笑）

My wife and I enjoyed this very much, Great way to help celebrate our 30th anniversary. A fun and knowledgable crew took very good care of us. Fantastic catamaran

I couldn't find any areas of dissatisfaction; I think it's a very good tour. They speak Japanese, and both the pickup bus and the crew are easy to talk to. They also respond kindly to seasickness. However, the prices for motion sickness medication and GoPro rentals are a bit high (not compared to other companies).

不満な部分が見当たらず、非常に良いツアーだと思います。日本語は通じるし、迎えのバス、船員さん共に話しやすいです。船酔いにも優しく対応してくれます。ただ、酔い止め薬や、ゴープロの貸し出し値段はちょっと高いかな(他社との比較ではない)

It was a very enjoyable tour. I wanted to swim even more, but swimming with the dolphins was a wonderful memory. Dancing hula on the water was also fun. Thank you!

とっても楽しいツアーでした。
もっともっと泳いでいたかったですが、イルカと一緒に泳げたことは素晴らしい思い出です。
海の上でフラを踊ったこともまた楽しかったです。
ありがとうございました！

This was my fourth time snorkeling, and the sea conditions, as well as the number of marine creatures like dolphins, turtles, and whales, were the best I've ever experienced.

About 15 minutes after departure, we encountered a pod of around 30 dolphins. The sea was calm, and the dolphins swam leisurely, making it easy to take underwater photos. It was truly enjoyable.

Even when the dolphins were out of sight, if you dove into the water, you could hear their chatter quite loudly. (laughs) While watching the turtles, we waited for the dolphins to return and were able to see them multiple times.

シュノーケルは4回目でしたが、海のコンディション、イルカ、カメ、クジラなど海の生き物たちの数、過去最高でした。
イルカは出港してから15分ほどで、30頭ほどの群に会えました。海も穏やかで、イルカたちものんびり泳いでくれたので、水中写真も撮りやすく、本当に楽しかったです。
イルカが見えなくなっても、海に潜ればイルカたちの話し声がうるさいくらいに。笑
カメを見ながらイルカたちが戻ってくるのを待って、何度も見ることが出来ました。

I was fortunate to be surrounded by friendly staff, and I was able to visit the beautiful Heaven's Beach. It was a place I had wanted to go for a long time, and it truly was wonderful.

気さくなスタッフの方たちにも恵まれて、とっても幸せな天国の海に行くことが出来ました。天国の海には前から行ってみたくてやっと行けた場所が本当にすてきでした。

We participated as a couple.
During the 3.5-hour tour, we saw 8 humpback whales, 20-30 dolphins, and 3 sea turtles.
Overall, it was a good experience, but I was disappointed with the Japanese guide's attitude.
It felt like there was a sharpness in their words, and I got the impression of being talked down to, which made me uncomfortable. It seemed like this shop only viewed dolphins as a business tool.
We were told to decide on the wetsuits before getting on the boat, and the photos were $60.
Later, we joined a tour at another shop where they kindly offered 400 photos as a gift and said we could ask for a wetsuit anytime if we needed one.

夫婦で参加しました。
3.5Hのツアーでザトウクジラ8頭、イルカ20-30匹、ウミガメ3匹観れました。
結果オーライでしたが日本人のガイドさんの対応には残念でした。
言い方に棘があると言うか、上から言われてる感が半端なくあり気分はよくありませんでした。どうもこちらのお店はイルカを商売道具としか思ってないような気がしました。
ウエットスーツもボート乗るまでに決めろ、写真は60ドル。
この後、他店でツアーに参加しましたが写真400枚プレゼント、ウエットスーツも必要であればいつでも言ってください。と親切な対応でした。

My first sandbar experience.
I researched the low tide periods in Japan and went during that time.
I think the conditions were really good.
It's amazing that such a shallow area can form offshore; it's something that wouldn't happen artificially, and nature is incredible.
It was great to be able to experience snorkeling so close by.
I was also able to take some nice photos that I can use for next year's New Year's card.

初めてのサンドバー。
日本で干潮の時期を調べて行きました。
すごく条件が良かった方だと思います。
沖合いにこんな浅瀬が出来るなんて　人工ではまず出来ないし自然は凄い。
シュノーケルもすぐ近くで体験出来良かったですね。
来年の年賀状にのせられる様な良い写真も撮れました。

We participated as a three-generation family. The sandbar was truly beautiful, and I felt like I could have looked at it all day, making it hard to leave. We were also able to see many sea turtles, which made the children very happy. However, since we participated in February, it was colder than expected, and the water was chilly, so we gave up on snorkeling. Even so, it was truly a tour that I’m glad we participated in.

家族3世代で参加しました。
サンドバーは本当に綺麗で1日中見ていたい気分になり、
帰るのが惜しかったです。
ウミガメもたくさん見ることができ、子供たちも大喜びでした。
ただ、参加時期が2月だったので思ったよりも寒く、水が冷たかったので、
シュノーケリングは諦めましたが、それを差し引いても本当に参加して良かったと
思えるツアーでした。

Clear skies! The ocean is so beautiful!
I was worried about whether I would see a sea turtle, but I did!
Everyone on the tour was friendly and really fun!
My husband participated in snorkeling, and since I can't swim, I didn't join, but during that time, they took care of those who couldn't participate by taking us on a cruise, which was really enjoyable!
When a sea turtle came close to the boat, we could freely get off the boat to see it, and other participants took pictures for us, making it a very fun time!
The BBQ lunch was also very delicious!
They talked with us until the end, and it went by in a flash!

快晴！海もとっても綺麗！
海ガメと会えるか心配でしたが、会えました(^^)
ツアーの皆さん、気さくでとっても楽しい方でした！
旦那さんはシュノーケリングに参加し、私は泳げないので参加しませんでしたが、その間、参加出来なかった人達をクルージングに連れてってくれたりと気遣ってくれて、とっても楽しかったです(^^)
海ガメが船に近付いてくると船から自由に降りて見に行けたり、他の参加者さんが写真を撮ってくれたりと、とても楽しい時間でした！
BBQランチもとても美味しかったです！
最後まで色々な話をしてくれて、あっという間でした(^^)

We participated with our family of four, including elementary school students. We were worried about seasickness, but it was quieter than we expected, and we were totally fine. We saw a lot of sea turtles, and at the snorkeling point, there were many beautiful fish! The water at Angel's Beach came up to our knees, but it seemed like the kids were able to practice snorkeling, which was great. For lunch, the kids happily made their own hamburgers. However, it was cold when we got out of the water. But we warmed up with the hot cocoa that was provided. I recommend bringing a thick hoodie and a bath towel.

家族4人小学生を連れての参加でした。
船酔いを心配してましたが思ったより静かで全然大丈夫でした。海ガメもたくさん見れたし、シュノーケルポイントでは綺麗な魚がたくさん見れました！
天使の海は膝まで水がきてたけど、子供たちはシュノーケルの練習もでき良かったようです。
お昼のハンバーガー思い思いに作って子供たちは喜んでほうばっていましたね。
ただ海から上がると寒かった。でも用意して下さった温かいココアを飲んで持ち直しました。
バスタオル巻き巻き厚手のパーカーあたりを持って行くことをお勧めします。
