Submarine Underwater Scooter Adventure & Turtle Snorkeling Tour from Hawaii Kai

Reviewed by: Kim H

FAAAAAABULOUS!! Great, casual way to spend a morning or afternoon. Plenty of snorkeling, splashing, swimming. You can relax on the boat or entertain yourself in the water while you wait for your ride. The people were fun, helpful, and organized. Fish were plentiful. The sea turtle was a special treat.

It might be a little different & it's cold. 少し違うかも&寒い

Reviewed by: ここちゃん

I joined expecting the first image to match reality, but it was somewhat different when I actually went (I think January played a role in this). I had assumed there would be a sandy beach, but there wasn't. We first took a walk to the shallow area after getting off the boat. At that point, the water level was up to my backside. Although the weather was good due to it being the rainy season in January, it was still quite cold. I went in wearing a swimsuit, but I couldn't really immerse myself in the water. After the walk, we returned to the boat, but it was so cold that I had to wrap myself in a bath towel. After that, we had lunch, which was quite tasty. Then we went snorkeling. However, there was an announcement that those who couldn't swim should not participate, and since I couldn't swim, I stayed behind. But there were plenty of items to play with, like inflatable rings, bodyboards, and stand-up paddleboards, so I borrowed those and played in the shallow area. I think even those who aren't good at swimming can have a fulfilling experience. However, it was still cold. Everyone returning from snorkeling was shivering from the cold. I recommend participating during a warmer time of year. The guide was Japanese and easy to understand.

１枚目のイメージ写真を期待して参加したのですが実際行ってみて若干違うな。。と思いました（１月ってのも関係あると思います）てっきり砂浜があると思っていましたがなく、まず船から降りて浅い方まで散歩。降りた時点ではお尻あたりまで水位はありました。１月雨季とあって天気は良かったのですが、普通に寒いです。水着で入りましたがとても体をつけることはできませんでした。散歩終わって船に戻りますがバスタオルをかぶってないといけないほど寒かったです。そのあとははランチ。普通に美味しかったです。そのあとはシュノーケリングへ。ただし泳げない人は参加しない方が良いとのアナウンスがあり私は泳げなかったのでお留守番。ですが浮き輪やボディーボードやサップなど遊べるアイテムが充実しており、それを借りて浅いところで遊んでいました。なので泳ぎが得意ではない人でも充実していると思います。ただやはり寒いです。笑　シュノーケリングから帰ってくるひとたちはみんな寒くて震えていました。
参加するならもっと気温の高い時期をお勧めします。
ガイドも日本人でわかりやすかったです。

Reviewed by: ウルプア

We participated as a couple in our 40s. We arrived at the port in no time while laughing at the guide's broken Japanese jokes on the bus ride there. When it was time to split into two boats, they asked for preferences between a Japanese-only boat and an international boat. Since it was a special occasion, we chose the international boat. That said, the woman who guided us was Japanese, so we felt reassured. The BBQ lunch was truly delicious, just as the reviews said! After the meal, the male guide entertained us with his beautiful singing while playing the guitar. There were some lucky people who encountered a sea turtle while snorkeling. We could only see it from the boat, but it was a very satisfying tour.

40代の夫婦で参加しました。行きのバスでのガイドさんの片言日本語ジョークに大笑いしながらあっという間に港に到着。二隻の船に分かれる際、日本人のみの船とインターナショナル船に希望を募ってくれました。私たちはせっかくだからとインターナショナル船へ。とは言え案内してくれた女性は日本人だったので安心でした。BBQランチは口コミ通り本当に美味しかった！！食後はバスでガイドをしてくれた男性がギター片手に美声を披露してくれました。シュノーケリング中にウミガメに遭遇することができたラッキーな人もいましたよ。私たちは船上からしか見えませんでしたが大満足のツアーでした。

It was good, but... 良かったけど…

Reviewed by: 旅好き

I decided on Captain Bruce after seeing various reviews. Although the weather was unfortunate, the guide and driver were pleasant, the pickup time was perfect, and the food was delicious and satisfying. ★
However, during the snorkeling explanation, there were many comments that raised concerns, which made even experienced snorkelers hesitant.
In reality, the difficulty level was very low, and the time spent was only about 20 minutes within sight.
I believe safety explanations are important since it involves life, but I chose this somewhat expensive tour expecting that kind of safety and service, so I was disappointed in that regard.
Next time, I will choose a different tour!

色々な口コミを見てこのキャプテンブルースに決めました。天気こそ残念でしたが、ガイドさんや運転手さんの感じも良く、お迎え時間もピッタリ、料理も美味しくて満足出来るものでした★
ただ、シュノーケルの説明の時に不安を掻き立てるような説明が多く、初心者はもちろん、経験者も見送りにしていたくらいです。
実際の難易度は非常に低く、目の届く範囲で時間も20分程度と短かったです。
命に関わることなので説明は大切だと思いますがそういった安全性やサービスも期待してこの少々割高なツアーを選んでいるのでそこが残念に思いました。
次回は別のツアーで‼︎

The owner was a Japanese woman, and the attendant was also a Japanese woman. Their thoughtfulness was great.
We took a bus for about an hour from the Royal Hawaiian Center to board the boat.
We went out on the boat to search for dolphins. I ended up getting seasick during that time.
Along the way, we were able to see whales and sea turtles.
Finally, we entered the sea and swam with the dolphins. I was able to see the dolphins swimming right below me while snorkeling!
The crew was also eager for us to see them, and I was happy about their efforts.
On the way back, they served us spam onigiri, warm tea, and pineapple, and we even danced together.
I heard that in a few years, swimming with wild dolphins will no longer be allowed, so it was a precious experience.

日本人女性のオーナーでアテンドも日本人の女性でした。心遣いが良かったです。
ロイヤルハワイアンセンターから1時間くらいバスにのってボートに乗り込みました。

いよいよ海に入りイルカと泳ぎます。シュノーケリングで真下をイルカ達が泳いでいるのを見ることが出来ました‼
クルーの皆様も何とか見て欲しいと必死に取り組んでくださりうれしかったです。
帰りはスパムおにぎりや温かいお茶、パイナップルなどを出してくださり、ダンスも一緒にしました。
数年のうちに自然のイルカと泳いではいけなくなるそうで貴重な体験でした。

Premium Ko Olina Snorkel Cruise with Dolphin Watching, Lunch Buffet & Drinks - Ocean Joy Cruises

Fantastic Trip!

Reviewed by: MeSoHappy

This was a great trip to go on. The check-in went smooth and the staff were friendly. The ocean was rough but the boat was so stable that I did not even get sea sick. While we were not able to go snorkeling because of this, we saw a whale and lots of dolphins! The morning sunshine made for a beautiful backdrop to the Waianae coastline. Ocean Joy is environmentally friendly to the dolphins and we normally would get to snorkel- just not with the dolphins since it disturbs them.

Our photographer gave everyone a 50% discount on our normally $40 photo package and the photos turned out great! We appreciated the treatment of the crew and everyone had fun even though we did not snorkel. Drinks and lunch were served and everything was tasty. I had fun and look forward to going with this crew again someday. Thanks to Veltra for a smooth confirmation process. It could not have been easier to book a fun outing.

If you hit low tide... 干潮に当たれば・・・

Reviewed by: K-point

I went during the May holiday. I checked the tide chart in advance and aimed to book on the day with the lowest tide during my stay. While riding the boat from the harbor to the point, I could see the sandbars, but unfortunately, by the time we arrived, the tide had come in.

Still, we were blessed with good weather, and the white sand, combined with the blue sky, created a beautiful scenery. On the way to the point, we also saw many turtles.

It's important to choose a day and time with good conditions; otherwise, it will just be a shallow area. I recommend checking the tide chart in advance.

5月の連休に行きました。潮見表で事前に滞在期間の中でも最も潮の引いている日を狙って申し込みました。ハーバーからボートに乗り、ポイントに向かっているときには砂洲が見えていましたが、残念ながら到着したときには潮が被ってしまいました。
それでも天気に恵まれ白い砂が透けて青空と相まって美しい景色が広がりました。途中ポイントに向かう前に亀もたくさん見れました。
コンディションの良い日と時間を選んで行かないと、ただの浅瀬になってしまいますので事前に潮見表での確認をお勧めします。

The crew was very cheerful, and I never felt bored even when participating alone. I did suffer a bit from seasickness due to strong winds that threatened the event, but joining the tour was definitely the right choice. If you're participating in January, I strongly recommend bringing a thick windbreaker, as just renting a wetsuit for a fee won't be enough to prevent freezing on the boat after the first snorkeling session. Additionally, motion sickness medication is essential, especially for children.

クルー皆さんが非常に陽気で、ひとりで参加しても退屈することはありませんでした。開催が危ぶまれるほどの強風の影響で多少船酔いに苦しみましたが、ツアーに参加したことは正解でした。１月参加の場合は、有料のウェットスーツを借りたぐらいでは、１回目にシュノーケリングした後に船上で凍える羽目になるので、厚手のウインドブレーカー等を持参することを強くおすすめします。加えて酔い止めの薬は必須です。（特にお子様）

This was my second time participating. We were the only Japanese people, but even if you can't speak English, they can communicate in simple Japanese, and if you're not allergic to English, I think you can manage with gestures (laughs). I will upload a photo taken when we arrived at the snorkeling point after heading out to sea. The water and sky were both very beautiful and soothing. Life jackets and snorkeling sets (without fins) are included in the cost and are provided for free. This time, we were lucky enough to see three sea turtles! It was late December, but since I was wearing a long-sleeved rash guard, I didn't feel cold and enjoyed it. After snorkeling, free water and snacks (like chips and cookies) are distributed. I had two cups of sparkling water (I think it was $3 each). Payment is made all at once after arrival (I paid $10 including tips). On the way back, the boat rocked so much that it felt like a banana boat, which entertained the passengers (laughs), but the inside of the boat was flooded. There were about two people who seemed to be seasick and were feeling exhausted, but the staff kindly helped them by letting them smell some aromatherapy. I had a great time again. I will definitely participate next time I go to Hawaii!

Reviewed by: パパさん

It was rainy and chilly on the day of our visit. Although we would get wet in the ocean anyway, it was disappointing that the temperature was low. However, since we had made our reservation months in advance, we couldn't predict the weather.

We were picked up by our driver and female diver, F. This morning, it was just my wife and me, so we had F all to ourselves. Lucky us! The car ride was filled with enjoyable conversations about life in Hawaii and our children. Before we knew it, we arrived at Hanauma Bay.

After watching a video, we headed to the beach. F had already prepared everything. Since it was cold, she provided a wetsuit and a prescription mask for my nearsightedness. Additionally, she had a large lockable box ready for us, allowing us to safely store our clothes and belongings. Especially since it was a cold rain, it was a relief that our dry clothes didn't get wet. Thank you!

After practicing snorkeling while wading up to our waists, we began snorkeling. Once we started swimming, the rain didn't bother me at all, and moving around kept me warm. Although it was raining, there were no waves, so we were excited to venture out further!

At one point, my wife's leg cramped, possibly due to her unfamiliarity with snorkeling. However, F promptly took care of her, which was a great help. After that, F held my wife's hand and guided her while swimming. It would have been difficult for me alone. I was grateful to have F with us. Thank you!

F spotted a sea turtle out in the ocean, and we were amazed to see a baby sea turtle. It swam leisurely behind us for a while. F informed her fellow Japanese guide, and everyone gathered together. It was heartwarming to see the spirit of helping each other to make the tour better.

The underwater world was calm, filled with beautiful fish of various colors swimming in schools, resembling a stunning underwater palace. This was all thanks to F, who accurately guided us to where the fish were. I am grateful.

Benefits of this tour:
- The guidance in Japanese made everything easy to understand.
- F provided wetsuits and masks as needed.
- We could safely leave our clothes and belongings.
- F guided us to places where we could encounter fish and sea turtles, increasing our chances of sightings compared to going alone.
- Even those unfamiliar with snorkeling received care, making it reassuring.

It was a very enjoyable tour. Thank you, F! I hope to visit Hanauma Bay on a sunny day next time!

ホテルに迎えに来て頂く。運転手兼女性ダイバーのFさん。今日の午前中は我々夫婦のみ。Fさんを貸切状態。ラッキー！車中はハワイでの暮らしや子供の話で楽しい時間。あっという間にハナウマ湾に着く。
我々はビデオを見てからビーチへ。先に着いたFさんが準備万端。寒いのでウェットと近視の私の為に度付きのマスクを用意してくれる。また、大きな鍵のかかるボックスを用意してくれていて、着替えや手荷物を安心してしまっておけました。特に、寒い雨だったので、乾いた着替えが濡れなかったのは助かりました。ありがとうございます。
腰までつかってシュノーケリングの練習をしてから、シュノーケリング開始。泳ぎだすと雨はもちろん気にならないし、身体を動かすので私は寒くなくなる。今日は、雨だが波がないので沖まで出られるとのことで楽しみ！ワクワク！
途中、慣れないシュノーケリングの為か？家内の脚が攣る。しかし、Fさんが的確に処置してくださり助かる。その後はFさんが家内の手を引いて泳いで案内してくれる。私一人では大変でした。Fさんが居てくださって助かりました。ありがとうございます。
沖でウミガメをFさんが発見。子供の生ウミガメに感動する。しばらく、後ろをのんびりと泳ぐ。Fさんが仲間の日本人ガイドさんに教えてあげて、皆が集合する。助け合ってより良いツアーにしようとする気持ちが嬉しい。
海の中は穏やかで、様々な色の綺麗な魚が群れになっていて、綺麗な竜宮城のようでした。これも魚のいる場所に正確に案内してくれたFさんのお蔭です。感謝。
このツアーのメリット
○日本語で案内して頂けるのでよく分かります。
○ウェットやマスクなども適宜、用意してくださいます。
○着替え、手荷物を安心して置いておけます。
○魚やウミガメの遭遇出来る場所に案内してくれるので、個人で行くよりも遭遇できる確率が高くなると思います。
○シュノーケリングに慣れていない方でもケアしてもらえるので安心です。
とっても、楽しいツアーでした。Fさん、ありがとう！今度は晴れたハナウマ湾に行きたいです！

During this trip to Hawaii, I enjoyed snorkeling for the first time and, feeling adventurous, I booked this tour online while I was there. As mentioned in other people's experiences, we had a great time with our cheerful guide (a Japanese woman). We were able to spot sea turtles multiple times. The main area, the ocean of heaven, had water up to my waist, but it was shallow enough to walk, so it was fine. There were mostly newlyweds, and since the guide was taking pictures for them, my husband and I also had some taken. There were comments about the sandwiches being meager, so I’ll post a photo. American sandwiches are usually like that, but they were filling and delicious. I would like to join again, aiming for low tide.

今回のハワイ旅行で、初めてスノーケリングを楽しみ、調子に乗って、現地でネットで今回のツアーを申し込みました。
他の方の体験談にもあった通り陽気なガイドさん(日本人女性)に乗せられて、楽しく過ごせました。
ウミガメも何回も目撃に成功しました。
メインの天国の海は腰まで水があったのですが、歩けるくらいでしたので、良しとすべきでしょう。

There were nearly 40 participants in the early morning tour, which felt quite large. The pick-up time was perfect. We received explanations in Japanese from a very friendly staff member, and upon arriving at the port, we received rental gear and changed into wetsuits. About 10% of the participants were foreigners, with the majority being Japanese.

As soon as the boat set off, the staff introduced themselves, and we encountered dolphins! However, in a good way, we were not allowed to touch or chase the dolphins. It was more about observing the pod swimming from the water.

When there are many people from other tours nearby, it creates a significant number of humans spread out in the water, making it hard for the dolphins to come close. While this is understandable, I felt that for those who are satisfied, it could be a very rare experience. Honestly, I couldn't shake the feeling of swimming closely with the dolphins as I had imagined. Perhaps my expectations were too high. If you want that experience, a private tour might be necessary, as nearly 40 people felt like too many. While it might be necessary for efficiency, I wished for a smaller group to approach the dolphins without startling them.

We dove twice, and during the first dive to get close to the dolphins, we spent about 30 minutes in the water, which left many women feeling quite groggy. There were many beginners in snorkeling, so I recommend taking motion sickness medication or purchasing and wearing a motion sickness band. There were quite a few people on the boat who looked exhausted, so please make sure to prepare adequately for warmth.

早起きの部で、合計４０名近くでのツアー参加者が居ましたがこれがとっても多いんじゃないかなと感じました。。
送迎時間はピッタリ。とても気さくなスタッフさんから日本語で説明を受け、港に着いたらレンタルグッズをもらいウェットスーツに着替えます。海外の方は１割程度とほぼ日本人。。
船が出向してすぐにスタッフさんの自己紹介を終えるとイルカに遭遇！！

ただし、良い意味でイルカには触ってはいけないし追いかけてもいけません！！あくでもイルカの群れが泳いでいるのをこちらも海中から覗き見るという感じです。

なので他のツアーの方などが近くにいると相当な数の人間が海に広がっているのでイルカもなかなか近寄ってくれません。当然といえば当然かもですが。。。
それでも満足な方であれば非常に稀有な経験ができると思いましたが、正直想像していたよりも近くで泳ぐイルカと一緒に泳げている感覚にはなれませんでした。
ちょっと期待値が高すぎたかなと。それを望むならプライベートツアーじゃないと無理かもしれませんが、４０名近くはさすがに多すぎるように思いました。効率を考えると仕方ないかもしれませんが、本当にイルカを驚かせないように近づいてもらうためにはもっと少人数のツアーだとよかったなと感じました。
２回ダイブするのですが、１回目のイルカに近寄るダイブで３０分くらい海に浸かっているのでこの時点で相当数な女性がグロッキー状態になっておりました。シュノーケリング初心者の方が多かったそうですが、酔い止め薬を飲んでおいたり酔い止めバンドを購入して装着しておくことをお勧めしますよ。船上でもはいてる方やぐったりしている方は多かったので、防寒対策もしっかりとご準備ください。

BOB's Hawaii Underwater Scooter Adventure & Turtle Watching Tour

Fun morning

Reviewed by: D & J

Was lots of fun - the divers/guides with us were great. Only negative was that it was a little choppy on the day and my husband ended up getting seasick while waiting for others to complete their turn. This though ended up a positive as it helped with bringing more fish closer to the boat! Next time we would be more prepared and take seasick tablets beforehand. Also I had tried scuba diving in the past and had problems "equalizing", thus could not move far from the diving platform. The underwater scooter experience has helped me overcome my previous fears of underwater adventures. An awesome time was had despite the seasickness.

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

I wasn't able to go snorkeling. シュノーケリングさせてもらえず

Reviewed by: プンプン

It was written that snorkeling could be done during the waiting time, and although it was more expensive than other sites without snorkeling, I applied thinking I could snorkel as well. In reality, the explanation was insufficient, and the guide who could somewhat speak Japanese was unfriendly. There were no prior instructions for the underwater scooter, so I ended up not knowing when to snorkel. I would like a refund for the snorkeling fee.

待ち時間にシュノーケリングが出来ると書いてあり、他社サイトのシュノーケリング無しより高かったがシュノーケリングも出来ると思い、申し込みました。
実際は説明も不十分ですし、日本語がなんとなく話せるガイドは感じ悪く、水中スクーターの事前の順番の指示もない為、シュノーケリングをするタイミングがわからいまま、終了しました。
シュノーケリング代分返して欲しいです。
