Enjoyed the crew and the experience. We were pushed in directions instead of us controlling the scooters and we would have liked to move it on our own. The experience was wonderful and we saw many fish and sea turtles. Thanks for a great trip

Hanauma Bay Snorkel Tour with Expert Guide & Waikiki Transportation

Best snorkeling

Reviewed by: Panya

Our guide was fantastic. I'm an okay swimmer but I freaked out and couldn't get used to breathing through the snorkel gear. The guide and his wife help me a lot. I finally got the hang of it and snorkeled like a pro! Also I forgot my go pro and luckily the guide took pics and uploaded them on Facebook. Definitely coming back in the summer time!

サンドバー天使の海　シュノーケリング＆ウミガメウォッチクルーズ　船上のBBQグリルで焼くハンバーガーランチ付き！＜午前／日本語クルー＞

It was more fun than I expected! 思った以上に楽しかった！

Reviewed by: GOK

Honestly, I didn't have high expectations, but I enjoyed it more than I thought. There were more sea turtles than I expected, and I was lucky enough to encounter a manta ray. The sandbar was deeper than I imagined, so it was a bit different from what I pictured. I joined without knowing what to do at the sandbar, but it was great to experience snorkeling.

正直、あまり期待してませんでしたが思ったより楽しめました。ウミガメは予想以上に多く、運良くマンタにも遭遇できました。サンドバーは思ったより深かったので、イメージとは少し違いました。また、サンドバーで何をするのか不明なまま参加したのですが、シュノーケリングを体験したのが良かったです。

I want them to operate only during the season. シーズンのみ運営してほしい

Reviewed by: ハワイ初心者

I participated in January.
I could hardly see any turtles, just catching a glimpse of them far out at sea.
And it was only for a moment.

The sandbar was just a shallow area up to my waist, even for adults, and it was completely unimpressive.
Many participants who joined thinking there would be a beach in the middle of the ocean ended up spending most of their time on the boat because the water was too cold in winter, which was very disappointing.

I believe the tours should either be held during the season when there are many turtles or only during the season when there is a beach.

１月に参加しました。
亀もほとんど見れずに
遠く海上に出てくるのを見るだけ。
しかも、一瞬。

サンドバーも、大人でも腰ぐらいある浅瀬で
まったく感動なし。

結局冬で水が冷たくて結局船で過ごされていた方も多く、
とても残念です。

I was very satisfied with the beautiful sea and the staff's consideration. 綺麗な海もスタッフの方の配慮も大満足

Reviewed by: thithi

We participated as a couple. We checked the low tide times in advance and joined the morning plan to match the low tide during our stay. Since this was our first time participating, I'm not sure about other times, but I believe the scenery is definitely beautiful during low tide. While it's precious to see the sandbar completely exposed at the lowest tide, personally, I think the best view is when there's a thin layer of seawater just before and after that.

The snorkeling was a bit chilly, but we were thrilled to get quite close to a sea turtle! (It was a little scary being too close, though...)

The local staff were very lively and fluent in Japanese, which helped create a great atmosphere. They prepared warm soup after snorkeling, and there were towels laid out on each seat in the return bus, showing great attention to detail. This tour is definitely recommended.

夫婦で参加させていただきました。
事前に干潮の時間を調べて、ちょうど滞在期間中の干潮の時間に合わせて午前のプランで参加しました。今回が初めての参加なので他の時間はわかりませんが、やはり干潮の時が綺麗だと思います。最も潮が引いてサンドバーが完全に見えているときも貴重ですが、個人的にはその前後のうっすらと海水が乗っているときの景色がベストだと思います。

シュノーケリングは少し肌寒かったですが、たまたまウミガメとかなり接近することができ大興奮でした!（近すぎると逆に少し恐かったですが…）

現地のスタッフの方も、とてもノリが良く日本語もペラペラで、いい感じに盛り上げてくださいました。
シュノーケリング後に温かいスープを用意してくださったり、帰りのバスでは各座席にタオルが敷いてあったり、とても配慮が行き届いていたと思います。
間違いなくオススメのツアーです。

Snorkeling at the coral reef had life jackets available, but it seemed deep and was scary for the children. We were lucky to see a sea turtle while snorkeling.

Reviewed by: じゃすみん

I participated in a breakfast-only tour.

It rained on and off from the time we departed until we reached Angel's Beach, but we were able to see sea turtles, and by the time we arrived at Angel's Beach, the weather had cleared up, so I am satisfied with the tour content.

For this tour, we traveled to the site with two buses, but one of the pick-up buses took a long time to arrive... In the end, it was about 45 minutes after the first bus left that they finally came to pick us up.

The guide who was with us on the way seemed to leave because they were going to the next tour time, and they said, "Please wait here. If it rains, wait over there (at the public restroom with a roof)!!" which made me feel very anxious.

I never expected to feel so uncomfortable just because the buses were different, even though it was the same tour. It's really disappointing because the content of the tour was very good.

朝食のみのツアーに参加しました。
出港時〜天使の海に行くまでの間雨が降ったりやんだりを
繰り返していたのですが、ウミガメは見ることができましたし、天使の海に着いた頃には晴れていたのでツアーの内容には満足しています。

迎えのバスのうち１台がなかなか来ず。。。
最終的に１台目のバスが出発してから４５分ほどたってやっと迎えに来てくれる・・・といった感じでした。

行きにはいてくださったガイドさんも次の時間帯のツアーにいくからなのか
【ここで待っていてください。雨が降ったらあそこ（屋根のある公衆トイレ）で待っていてください！！】という言葉を残し、行ってしまったのでとても不安な気持ちになりました。

同じツアーなのに
バスが違うだけでこんなに嫌な気持ちなるなんて思いませんでした。

It was cold! 寒かったー！

Reviewed by: Sayaka

Even in Hawaii, it was cold in December. The half-day course was just right. I recommend it as a trial for those who want to try snorkeling. Since you just swim back and forth while looking at the coral, it was fine even if you’re not very confident in your swimming skills. As others have commented, the sandbar depends on the timing of the tides, so it was a bit disappointing. However, I was happy to see not only sea turtles but also manta rays!

ハワイと言えども、１２月寒かった。半日コースでちょうど良かったです。
シュノーケリング始めてみたい方にはお試しとしてお勧めです。
行列を作りながらサンゴを見て往復するだけなので泳ぎに多少自信がなくても大丈夫でした。
サンドバーは他の方もコメントしている通り、潮の満ち引きのタイミングもあるので残念ながらといった感じでした。
ただし、ウミガメはもちろん、マンタも見られたのでhappy!でした！

My dream has come true! 夢が叶った！

Reviewed by: なってぃ

I finally fulfilled my dream of swimming with dolphins! I was worried that the sea in December would be cold, but the weather was nice, and thanks to borrowing a wetsuit, I didn't feel cold at all. The crew spoke Japanese very well, which made me feel at ease.

The view from the boat while searching for dolphins was beautiful, with the green mountains and blue sea being absolutely stunning! With my heart racing, the time finally came to enter the water! Once in the sea, the crew dove down and brought up a starfish! Immediately, the photographer took pictures.

While we were doing this, I was told to look down, and when I did, I saw a pod of dolphins! I was so excited to see dolphins swimming so close and followed the pod. I encountered the dolphins multiple times, and I even got to see them jump out of the water, which was exhilarating the entire time!

I wanted to try stand-up paddleboarding during my free time, but due to the sea conditions, I couldn't, which was a bit disappointing. However, I did get to encounter a sea turtle, and I had a wonderful time!

The hamburgers made on the boat were delicious, and the photographer played the ukulele very well. The woman who danced the hula was also skilled, and there were many entertaining elements that kept us engaged.

At the end, we had photo opportunities at the helm, took pictures with the crew, and had a group photo with all participants, which was a lot of fun!

Since there were some people who got seasick, it might be a good idea for those who are anxious to take motion sickness medication for peace of mind.

ずっとイルカと泳ぎたいと思っていた夢が、やっと叶いました！
12月の海は冷たいかと心配していましたが、天気も良く、ウェットスーツを借りたおかげもあって寒さは感じませんでした。クルーの方が、日本語がお上手なので安心です。

ドキドキしながら、いよいよ海に入る時が来ました！
海に入ると、クルーの方が潜ってスターフィッシュを取ってくれました！
すると、すかさずカメラマンの方が写真を撮ってくれました。
そうこうしていると、下を見て〜と言われ、下を見るとイルカの群れが！
こんなに近くを泳ぐイルカを見て興奮しながらイルカの群れについて行きました。
何度もイルカの群れに遭遇できたし、水上でイルカのジャンプも見れ、終始大興奮でした！
自由時間に、スタンドアップパドルに挑戦してみたいと思っていたのですが、海の状況で、できないとのことで、少し残念でした。
でも海ガメにも遭遇できとても楽しい時を過ごす事ができました！
そして、船上で作られたハンバーガーもおいしかったし、カメラマンのウクレレ演奏もお上手だし、フラを踊られた女性もお上手で、飽きさせない工夫がされていました。
最後は操縦席での写真撮影や、クルーの方達との写真撮影、参加者全員での写真撮影もあり、みんなで楽しむ事ができました！

船酔いされてる方がいたので、不安な方は酔い止めのお薬を飲まれた方が安心かもしれませんね。

イルカ中学　野生のイルカ＆ウミガメシュノーケリングクルーズ　高速ボートでイルカ遭遇率アップ！＜少人数制／ワイキキ＆コオリナ送迎可／日本語／ランチ付き＞

Wild dolphins 野生のイルカ

Reviewed by: fmak23

I swam with wild dolphins! It was early in the morning and I was tired, but overall I think it was great.

First, we had an early pickup, and we were staying at the Sheraton Princess Kaiulani, but the pickup location was at Sheraton Waikiki. It was a bit far, and I was wondering about it, but it turned out to be a misunderstanding. That's a bit disappointing.

After getting on the bus and receiving explanations, the stories were interesting and got me excited despite the early hour! The driving was a bit rough, which was nerve-wracking, but funny.

Once we arrived, we took a bathroom break and quickly changed into our wetsuits while taking some photos before boarding the boat for equipment explanations and departure. The captain had a great personality, which added to the excitement.

Maybe we were lucky, but about 5 to 10 minutes after departure, we finally spotted the dolphins! I dove into the sea and got to see the dolphins up close. I was moved by the clarity and beauty of the ocean while enjoying snorkeling with the dolphins. They swam surprisingly fast, and we only had about 3 to 5 minutes to see them each time, but we got back on the boat, moved ahead of the dolphin pod, and dove in about three times before heading to a spot with sea turtles!

That spot also had high water clarity, which was very impressive. The sea turtles were quite relaxed and didn’t swim away even when we got close. Just remember, you must not touch them!

We were also able to hand-feed beautiful fish!

Even though it was Hawaii, since it was December, the wind was cold when we got out of the water and moved on the boat. I recommend bringing a beach towel or something light to wear.

Also, since it was early in the morning, the ABC store was closed, and I went without breakfast, but I ended up feeling sick on the way back due to hunger, the tightness of the life jacket, and the boat's rocking. So, I recommend having a proper breakfast and bringing motion sickness medication if you’re prone to it.

野生のイルカと泳いで来ました(^^)
朝早くで疲れたけど総評としては良かったと思います。
まず朝早くピックアップなのですが自分たちはシェラトンプリンセスカイウラニに泊まっていたのですが、ピックアップ場所はシェラトンワイキキになってました。ちょっと遠いし疑問に思っていたのですが後に判明したのですが勘違いでしたようです。ちょっと残念ですね(^^;
バスに乗ってから説明など受けてその話とかが面白く朝早いのにテンション上がりました!
多少運転荒いのでハラハラしますが笑
ついてトイレ休憩して早速ウェットに着替えて写真をとってもらいつつ船に乗り込み用具などの説明を受け出港です。
船長さんのいいキャラもあってワクワク(^^)
運がよかったのか、出港から5～10分くらいで念願のイルカ先生が!!!
海にダイブして生イルカ先生を拝みました(^-^)v
海の透明さと綺麗さに感動しつつ、イルカをシュノーケリングしながら堪能しました。
以外と泳ぎが早く、1回つかって見れる時間が3～5分程度でしたが、また船に乗り込みイルカの群れに先回りしてまたダイブしてっていうのを3回くらいして次はウミガメがいるポイントへ移動!
そのポイントもまた海の透明度が高く大変感動しました。
ウミガメは結構のんびりしていて近くでも逃げませんでした。決して触ってはダメですよ笑
餌をもらえて綺麗なお魚さんに手渡しで餌をあげることもできました！

ハワイといえど自分は12月だったので海から上がってボートで移動する際の風が寒かったですね
ビーチタオルや軽く羽織れるものをもっていくことをお勧めします。
それと朝はやかったのでABCもあいてなくて朝食抜きでいったのですが空腹とライフジャケットの腹部の締め付けとボートの揺れで帰り気分が悪くなりましたのでしっかり朝食をとって酔いやすいかたは酔い止めの持参をお勧めします。

Angel's Sea 天使の海

Reviewed by: crusader

I used the service on December 29. There was no wind, and the sea was calm, making it a perfect day for the tour. It was a wonderful experience with many sea turtles observed, and my small children, aged 3 and 6, were able to play happily. The tour staff's fun talks and thoughtfulness added to the experience.

However, the air conditioning on the bus going there was too cold, and all the tour guests were uncomfortable. I tried to bring it up to the driver, but as soon as I started talking, he had an attitude that suggested I shouldn't say anything more. What a shame! The temperature control on the return bus was good.

１２月２９日に利用しました。風はなく、海も凪、最高のツアー日和でした。多くのウミガメが観察できたこと、３歳と６歳の小さな子供も楽しく遊べたこと、ツアースタッフの楽しいトークと心使いなど素晴らしいツアーでした。
ただ、行きのバスのエアコンが寒すぎ、ツアー客全員困っていたので、運転手に訴えようとしましたが、話を始めた途端、それ以上言うなという態度で受け付けてもらえませんでした。残念！帰りのバスは良好な温度コントロールでした。

Reviewed by: かなぴぃ

I was able to swim! ^^

When I signed up, I hesitated. In the end, I decided to enroll to fulfill my partner's wish of "wanting to swim with dolphins."

Even with a life jacket on, I felt anxious. When I jumped in, my heart rate increased, and I couldn't breathe properly, so at first, I swam with my face mostly above water.

However, the crew was persistently encouraging, saying "Dive down, it's okay, it's okay," and after about five minutes, I managed to get my face in the water! (For someone who isn't good at swimming, those five minutes might be tough.)

I'm so grateful! Once I got my face in the water, it felt like a different world. There was a huge group of dolphins, probably around twenty. I was able to keep my face in the water longer because I wanted to see more. I knew I shouldn't move my fins, but out of fear, I was flailing them. However, realizing that the dolphins would swim away, I stopped moving my fins and just floated gently with the help of the life jacket.

I also got to see a sea turtle, and by that time, I was swimming at the front, sticking close to the crew.

This tour gave me a sense of security, knowing that they would help if anything happened. My enthusiasm to see the dolphins helped me learn to swim, and later, I found myself swimming without a life jacket on the beach. I'm so thankful.

I’ve decided to repeat this experience. This might be the first time I want to repeat an optional tour. The transportation to the Kahala Hotel (the meeting point was a five-minute walk from the hotel at Kahala Bridge) was also a nice touch.

泳げるようになっていました^^;

申込の際、迷いました。
最終的には相方の"イルカと泳ぎたい"という希望を叶えるため申込。

ライフジャケットをつけても不安。
飛び込んでも心拍数が上がって上手に息をすることができず、最初はほぼ顔出しで泳ぎました。

で、でも、クルーの方が粘り強くひつこいくらい「潜って潜って」「大丈夫大丈夫」と
言ってくださって、5分後には何とか顔に水をつけられるように！
（泳ぐのが苦手な人にとってはこの5分間はしょうがないかもしれません）

感謝です！顔に水をつけるとそこは上とは別世界。

もっと見たいとずっと顔を水につけることができました。
フィンを動かしてはいけないとわかっていたのに怖さからばたつかせていたのですが、
イルカが逃げてしまうと知り、フィンは動かさずライフジャケットの力だけを
借りてそうっと浮かんでいました。

ウミガメも見ることができ、そのころにはクルーの方にくっついて先頭を
泳いでいる私。

このツアーには「何かあれば助けてくれる」という安心感がありました。
イルカを見たい、という熱意で泳げるようになり、その後、ビーチで
ライフジャケットもなく泳いでいる私がいました。感謝感謝です。

A once-in-a-lifetime experience. 一生に一度の体験

Reviewed by: びびこ

This tour is full of Aloha hospitality. On the day I participated, I was lucky enough to encounter wild dolphins at two different points. The American crew was fantastic. The guide who swam with the dolphins was clear and kind in their instructions, and they were experienced in catering to each passenger's needs. I attended with a friend, but I noticed that they provided excellent care for families with children, which was appreciated. The guide's freediving underwater was artistic, almost like a dolphin! On the way back, they performed bright and beautiful prayer songs with sharp dancing.

For those who will be participating, I recommend taking measures against seasickness and bringing a waterproof outdoor jacket. I don’t get seasick, but quite a few people were feeling unwell and couldn’t enjoy the beautiful scenery of the boat trip, which was unfortunate to see. Additional investments to enhance your experience include seasickness medication, which is available at Japanese airports, and a $20 wristband that is introduced on the bus ride to the destination. Also, depending on where you sit on the boat, you may get splashed by the waves. Having a lightweight, water-resistant jacket would make your experience more comfortable.

アロハホスピタリティ満点のツアーです。私が参加した日は、ラッキーなことにポイント２ヶ所で野生のイルカと遭遇できました。アメリカ人のクルーも大当たりでした。イルカと泳ぐガイドもわかりやすく親切に案内してくれましたし、乗客の方それぞれにあった対応も慣れていて、私は友人との参加でしたが、家族連れには子供へのケアが厚く、ありがたい様子でした。水中でのガイドのフリーダイビングも芸術的で、まるでイルカみたいでした！帰りは明るくて祈りの歌が上手でキレッキレのダンスを披露してくれました。
これから参加される方には、酔い止め対策を取られること、Waterproofのアウトドアジャケットを持参されることをお薦めします。私は船酔いしないのですが、結構な方がダウンされていてせっかくの船旅の景色を楽しむことができず見ていて気の毒でした。体験を良くするための追加の投資は酔い止め薬は日本の空港でも売っていますし、往路のバスで$20のリストバンドが紹介されます。また船での移動は座る場所によって波しぶきがかかります。水を通さないタイプの薄手のジャケットがあると快適に過ごせると思います。

ウミガメシュノーケリング　ホロカイ・カタマラン号　高確率でウミガメに会えるタートルキャニオンへ！ソフトドリンク&スナック付き＜3時間／英語／ワイキキホテル発＞

Seasickness 船酔い

Reviewed by: hayashi

We participated as a couple. As soon as we exited the hotel and reached the beach, we saw the boat, so we arrived without any confusion. There were about 20 participants that day, but we were the only Japanese people.

The weather was nice, and it was great that we got to see sea turtles. However, during snorkeling, there was an incident where my wife's life jacket lost air. Since she couldn't swim, she was quite panicked. I waved to the guide on the boat, but they just smiled and waved back, thinking it was a simple greeting, and didn’t come to help. When I shouted "Help" loudly, a guide swimming nearby brought a float, and we managed to resolve the situation. Perhaps there was an explanation on how to call for help during the initial English guidance.

When we got back on the boat, I found that my life jacket was also about 70% deflated. I had checked how to inflate it and how to maintain the valve with the guide, so the equipment itself might have been faulty.

After snorkeling, we cruised towards Diamond Head. The waves were quite big, and I ended up feeling sick. When I asked the guide where the restroom was because I thought I might throw up, I was told, "Don't throw up in the restroom," so I had to hold it in. Eventually, I couldn't hold it anymore and ended up using a plastic bag.

There were other guests who also felt sick, but after applying lavender essential oil, they received a bucket that said "Let's Do It" and were encouraged with "Let's Do it." There were several people who were rescued from near drowning and others who felt unwell, but they were all Asian. The Western guests seemed to be having a great time, drinking alcohol on the boat. It might be a tour more suited for Westerners (laughs).

夫婦二人で参加しました。
ホテルからビーチに出るとすぐに船が見えたため、迷うことなく到着。当日は20人ほど参加していましたが、日本人は私たち二人だけでした。
天気が良く、ウミガメにも会えた点は良かったです。
しかし、シュノーケリング中、妻の救命胴衣から空気が抜けるハプニングが発生。妻は泳げなかったのでかなり焦りました。船にいるガイドに手を振ったのですが、単なるコミュニケーションと思ったのかニコニコ手を振りかえしてくるだけで助けてもらえず。「Help」と大きな声を上げたところ近くで泳いでいたガイドさんが浮き輪を持ってきて来てくれて事なきを得ました。もしかしたら、最初の英語のガイダンスのところで助けの呼び方などの説明があったのかもしれません。船に上がると私の救命胴衣も7割ほど空気が抜けていました。空気の入れ方、弁の保持の仕方等はガイドさんにチェックしてもらい実施していたので道具自体が良くなかったのかもしれません。
シュノーケリング後はダイヤモンドヘッドの方などをクルージング。結構波が大きく、今度は私の気分が悪くなってしまいました。トイレで吐こうと思いガイドさんにトイレの場所を聞くと、「トイレでは吐くな」と言われ我慢することに。その後、とうとう我慢ができずにビニール袋に戻しました。
他のお客さんも気分が悪くなった人はいましたが、ラベンダーのアロマオイルを塗られた後、「Let's Do It」と書かれたバケツをもらい、「Let's Do it」と言われていました。
溺れかかって助けられた人、気分の悪くなった人は複数人いましたが全てアジア人。西洋人は船上でお酒をがぶがぶ飲みとても楽しそうでした。西洋人向きのツアーなのかもしれません（笑）

BOB's Hawaii Underwater Scooter Adventure & Turtle Watching Tour

Great Experience

Reviewed by: KrisG

It is a great experience doing the Underwater scooter. The guides were excellent making sure we are comfortable right from the beginning. It was a 1 to 1 guided adventure. The guides captured excellent pictures and videos of us individually and as as a couple with the beautiful fishes!. The plus thing is they do have all the snorkeling gear available for free so once you are done or you decide when your turn is you can do snorkeling.
