All Reviews for Oahu Snorkeling Tours

Our tour group was awesome!! So friendly and a fun experience. I appreciated the fact they had clean restrooms on the boat. They took their time to make sure we were all well taken care of with food, beverages and most importantly safety. Food was delicious well made burgers. We were able to get seconds once everyone was fed and there were leftovers which was really nice of them to offer for those of us who are good eaters ;) I absolutely love the Hawaiian culture and friendliness. Definitely can feel the ohana love for everyone.

I will definitely be coming back during my next vacation.

This trip was so much fun! All of the staff was so friendly and helpful! You really felt like royalty enjoying the island. The music on the way out to the sand bar had the whole boat singing and dancing. The SUP's and floating lounge were an awesome, not extra cost addition to the adventure. Looking forward to our next journey with this awesome crew!

I was happy to encounter sea turtles, and the Japanese guide was kind and fun! The fish were honestly average, but I was glad to see the turtles!

海亀に出会えたところと日本人の案内の方が優しく楽しくよかったです！
魚は正直普通でした笑
でもカメに出会えたのでよかったです！

We loved this so much, the sandbar is like the most amazing pool with turquoise waters and stunning views. I highly recommend adding this to your next trip to Oahu. The staff and captain were not only very nice but extremely knowledgeable so we felt very safe at all times.

We had a great time on this excursion. It was one of the best that we've done in Oahu. The highlights of the trip were spotting many turtles (at least a dozen), playing volleyball on the sandbar, and snorkeling at the reef. On top of that, the staff was very friendly and helpful.

I will be recommending this to anyone I meet who is going to visit Oahu.

One of the best experiences I have ever had. We have snorkeled and saw so many fishes. Like the crystal clean water and kayaking ., what else ., a complete package with live music and drink.

At Sandbar, there was one SUP available for each group, and my family of three quickly took on the challenge of our first SUP experience. At first, it was difficult to maintain balance, but after several attempts, we managed to stand up. I think we were out there for about 30 minutes, but the time flew by.

After that, we went snorkeling, following our guide to see the sea turtles. We encountered large turtles resting on the rocks and others swimming, which was amazing. Additionally, we could freely drink water, coffee, tea, and enjoy apples and snacks on the boat. The only limit was one Spam per person.

The prices felt a bit high due to the weak yen, but it was a fantastic experience overall. The crew members were all very friendly, which made it even better.

サンドバーでは1組に1つ程度のSUPが用意されていて、早速家族3人で初めてのSUPにチャレンジしました。
最初はバランスを取るのが難しかったですが、何度かチャレンジするうちに何とか立てるようになりました。
30分くらいだったと思いますがあっという間に時間が経ってしまいました。
そのあとはシュノーケリングでガイドさんの後を着いてホヌを見に行きました。岩場で休んでいる大きなホヌや泳いでいるホヌにも出会うことができて最高でした。
また、船内の水、コーヒー、紅茶、りんご、お菓子などは自由に飲んだり食べたり出来ます。スパムだけは1人1個でした。
料金は円安でちょっと高めに感じましたがとても良い体験でした。クルーの方々も感じの良い方ばかりでとても良かったです。

Unfortunately, only morning slots were available for reservation, and sadly the sandy beach did not appear, but we were still able to enjoy ourselves in the shallow waters with the SUP and inflatable rings that were available for rent!

The crew members were very kind, and I appreciated their efforts to communicate with us, even though we didn't understand English well.

We also received one spam rice ball per person, and there were plenty of snacks and a variety of drinks available. The warm beverages were perfect for our chilled bodies!

It was my first experience with SUP, and since it was in shallow waters, it was a lot of fun. My daughter also tried it for the first time and had an amazing time!

Next time, I would like to go when the sandy beach is available! Additionally, we encountered a sea turtle on the way, and on the return trip, we visited a coral reef shaped like a heart.

Thank you to all the crew members!

午前便しか予約が空いてなくて、残念ながら砂浜は出現しませんでしたが、それでもSUPや浮き輪が貸してもらえるので浅瀬で楽しく過ごせました！
またクルーの皆さんがとても優しくて、英語の分からない私たちにも必死で伝えるようにしてくれているのがありがたかったです。
そしてスパムおにぎりが1人1個もらえて、さらにスナック類などもたくさんあり、飲み物も種類があります。暖かい飲み物も充実しているので冷えた身体に最高でした！
SUP初体験でしたが、浅瀬なのでとても楽しかったです。娘も初めてでしたが、めちゃくちゃ楽しんでいました！
次は砂浜の出るときに行ってみたいです！
あと行く途中でウミガメに会えましたし、帰りにはハートのカタチの珊瑚礁のところにも行ってくれました。
クルーの皆さん、ありがとうございました。

Aloha! Do not hesitate to book this excursion! Everything about this experience exceeded my expectations. The staff were all so gracious and professional. Pack plenty of water and snacks. We took our waterproof , bluetooth speaker as well. Be prepared to paddle , take breaks when needed . Be aware of jellyfish as well. Maybe wear long sleeves, and leggings just to be cautious. Mahalo

I participated in snorkeling and relaxing at a beautiful beach. After arriving at the shop, I received explanations and safety instructions from the staff member Natsue, and then quickly rented a bicycle along with an optional snorkeling set and mat to head to Lanikai Beach, which has been ranked number one in the U.S. It took about 10 minutes by bike. The beach was quiet with few people, and it was truly beautiful. While snorkeling, I was able to see many tropical fish around the coral even close to the shore. Unfortunately, I didn't encounter any honu (sea turtles), but it's said that you might see them if you're lucky.

I spent the morning at Lanikai Beach and returned to the shop for lunch. From the lunch options, I chose pizza and loco moco. The pizza was very large and delicious.

In the afternoon, I rented a beach chair and went to Kailua Beach. This beach had facilities like showers and restrooms, and there were families enjoying the seawater. I placed my beach chair in the shade of the trees along the shore and relaxed while occasionally going into the water until it was time to head back.

If you have any questions while you're there, you can ask the staff member Natsue, and she will help you. Fortunately, the weather was also great, and I had a wonderful time. I recommend this place for those who want to enjoy a quiet and beautiful beach.

綺麗なビーチでシュノーケリング＆のんびりしたく参加しました。
お店に到着後、スタッフのなつえさんから説明や注意事項を聞き、すぐに自転車とオプションのシュノーケリングセット、ゴザを借り全米で一番になったこともあるラニカイビーチへ。自転車で１０分ほどです。人も少なく、静かで本当に綺麗なビーチでした。シュノーケリングをしましたが、海岸近くでも珊瑚の周りに熱帯魚を沢山見ることが出来ました。残念ながらホヌ（海亀）には出会うことは出来ませんでしたが、運が良ければ出会えるそうです。

午前中をラニカイビーチで過ごし、お店に戻りランチ。選べるランチの中からピザとロコモコを選びました。ピザはとても大きく美味しかったです。

午後はビーチチェアを借りてカイルアビーチへ。こちらはシャワーやトイレなどの設備があり家族連れで海水浴される方がいらっしゃいました。
海岸の木陰にビーチチェアを置き、時々海に入りながら、帰りの時間までのんびりと過ごしました。

現地で分からないことがあれば、スタッフのなつえさんに聞けば解決できました。
運良く天気にも恵まれ楽しめました。
静かで綺麗なビーチで遊びたい方にはお勧めです。

It's an early morning tour, so snorkeling starts at 9 AM. Even in Hawaii, it's cold. It was that cold in June, so winter will be even colder. If possible, a thin wetsuit is recommended; if not, a long-sleeve rash guard is essential. Also, please make sure to wear marine shoes in areas with lots of fish. Additionally, no Japanese is spoken at all, and all pickup locations and times are in English, so those who can't speak English might want to reconsider.

朝が早いツアーなので
９時からシュノーケリングになり
ハワイといえども寒いです
６月であれだけ寒かったので
冬はもっと寒いでしょう
できれば薄手のウェットスーツ
なければ長袖ラッシュは必須
あと、魚がたくさんいる場所は
マリンシューズも絶対履いてください。
あと日本語は一切通じないし
ピックアップ場所や時間も全て英語なので
英語できない人はやめた方がいいかも

I checked the tide chart and made a reservation to go, but the water level was about knee-high, so I went snorkeling. It was a bit murky, but I was able to see tropical fish swimming. The weather was a little bad, so it was a bit cold. The staff were friendly.

潮見表で確認して予約して行きましたが、ひざ上ぐらいの水位があったのでシュノーケリングをしました。少し濁り気味でしたが熱帯魚が泳いでいるようすは見れました。ちょっと天候が悪かったので少し寒かったです。スタッフさんは親切でした。

Wow! What an awesome afternoon spent on the sandbar! The staff are wonderful, the location is breathtaking, the activities endless!! Just book it! You won’t regret it. Memories that I will treasure forever!

The whole experience was top quality.
The staff, the safety and the activity.
We had a blast.

Amazing sandbar experience! We did this before but this time, we had the best sandbar tour, service and music…. Very relaxing and roomy boat.. so glad they had a changing room and separate bathrooms. Best part was the Hawaiian LIVE music, and kayaking, paddle boarding and snorkeling.

Despite the mistake on their part, they responded sincerely, and I was able to participate without any issues. Additionally, a young male staff member talked a lot to my companion, who was feeling seasick, helping to distract them. The other staff members were also cheerful and considerate, leaving a very good impression. I had the rare experience of swimming closely with dolphins and turtles. Thank you very much!!

こちらにミスがあったにも関わらず、真摯に対応してくださり、無事参加することができました。
また、船酔いしてしまった連れに、若い男性スタッフがたくさん話しかけてくださり、気を逸らせてくれました。他のスタッフさんも明るく、気遣いしてくださり、大変好印象でした。
イルカやカメと間近で泳ぐことができ、一生のうちにそうない経験をすることができました。
ありがとうございました！！

I was able to see wild dolphins swimming and jumping nearby! I also got to see turtles up close, which was an amazing experience! The staff were kind and provided a fun and enjoyable guide!

野生のイルカが近くで泳いでいる様子や、飛び跳ねている様子を見ることができました！カメも近くでみることができ、最高の体験でした！スタッフの皆さんも優しく楽しくガイドしてくれました！

It was a tour in March, but the response from the Japanese staff on board, especially their commanding tone and seemingly angry way of speaking, was not acceptable. While I understand that the weather and sea temperature are beyond control, I regret paying the price for this level of service. I often use overseas tours, but I felt a significant difference in quality this time.

3月のツアーでしたが、船上の日本人スタッフの対応、特に命令調な言い方や怒ったような言い方が納得行くものではなかったです。天気や海水温は仕方ありませんが、この対応はそれなりの料金を払ったことに後悔しています。良く海外ツアーは利用しますが、当たりハズレの差を感じました。

I participated in March this year and had a great time, but I was left with a bit of regret because the weather wasn't perfect, so I decided to give it another shot! The staff's hospitality was exceptional, and the weather was fantastic. I enjoyed the beautiful sea just like in the commercials! During snorkeling, turtles appeared in abundance! A cute baby turtle even came close to me, which was so soothing. I joined alone, but I was happy that they took lots of photos for me when I handed them my smartphone! The staff truly overflowed with the desire to make guests enjoy themselves! Next month, I'm going to Hawaii with friends, and I plan to participate again so they can experience this fun too.

今年の3月に参加して楽しかったのですがお天気が今ひとつだったのが心残りで、今回リベンジしました！
スタッフのホスピタリティは言わずもがな、お天気もとても良く、CMのように綺麗な海を満喫♡シュノーケルでは亀がこれでもかというくらい現れて！可愛いベイビータートルも近づいてきてくれてとても癒されました。1人で参加しましたが、スマホを渡すと写真をいっぱい撮ってくれるのが嬉しい！
ゲストに楽しんでもらいたい！って言う気持ちが溢れたスタッフばかりですね！
来月は友達とハワイに行くので、この楽しさを味わってもらいたく再び参加する予定です。

I visited Hanauma Bay with my wife when we were newly married, and this time I went with my son. It seems to have become cleaner due to the visitor limit for nature conservation compared to the past! Although we didn't see any sea turtles, the guide was friendly and we had a great time! Thank you!

結婚したての時に妻と一緒に行ったハナウマベイですが、今回は息子と一緒に行きました。
昔に比べ自然保護の観点から人数制限されてキレイになったように感じました！
ホヌには会えませんでしたがガイドさんも気さくで楽しめました！
ありがとうございました！

The crews were super nice and I had great experiences!! I am sure I will come back to this adventure!

This time, I participated with my 5-year-old daughter and my parents in their 70s. The weather was a bit cloudy, but when we arrived at the sandbar, it was sunny! We even saw sea turtles! Although we couldn't see the beach, the water was up to the adults' waists, so my daughter could stand and we had a lot of fun snorkeling and kayaking! The lifeguards were very kind (and they spoke Japanese fluently!). My parents, who didn't go into the water, were also taken on a boat ride around the area, and we were delighted by their generous spirit to entertain us. It was the best experience that will remain a lifelong memory!

今回は5歳の娘と70代の両親を含む家族で参加しました。
お天気はちょっと曇りがかってましたが、サンドバーにつくと晴天！ウミガメも見えましたよ～！
砂浜までは見えませんでしたが、海が大人の腰辺りまでになっていて、娘も足がついたのでシュノーケリングやカヌーなど沢山遊べました！ライフセーバーの方たちもすごく優しかったです。（日本語もペラペラ！）海に入らない両親たちもボートに乗せてくれて周辺を一周してくれたり、私達を楽しませようとするサービス精神がたっぷりで嬉しかったです。
一生の思い出に残る最高の体験ができました！

I was very happy to see many dolphins swimming. I also encountered a small whale, but we couldn't see it, so I want to try again. The sea was very clear and beautiful. The sandwiches for lunch were very delicious.

泳いでいるたくさんのイルカが見えてとても嬉しかったです。
小さなクジラの仲間にも出会えましたが、私たちは見ることが出来なかったので、またリベンジしたいです。
海が透き通っていてとても綺麗でした。
お昼のサンドイッチがとても美味しかったです。

I participated in the afternoon session.
- The live music on the boat was very pleasant, and the atmosphere was great as participants started dancing.
- I added both the banana boat and the bumper tube. The speed was something you can't experience in Japan. It was so much fun that I screamed so much I lost my voice the next day.
- There are various activities like snorkeling and stand-up paddleboarding, so you won't get bored.
- The light snack was a sandwich.
- You could also purchase alcohol separately, which allowed me to enjoy a drink with friends after playing.
- There was a tour guide who spoke Japanese, which was very reassuring. (I'm not sure if they are there every time.)
- The weather wasn't very good, so I wish I could have gone on a sunnier day.
- It seems that the timing for the sandbar varies by season, so if you want to see the sandbar, it's better to check the timing and decide whether to join in the morning or afternoon. We were in the afternoon, so we couldn't see the sandbar.
- There were many families, and I think it's a tour that children can enjoy as well.

午後の部に参加しました。
・船での生演奏はとても心地よく参加者の方が踊り始めたりととても良い雰囲気でした。
・バナナボートとバンパーチューブどちらも追加しました。日本じゃ味わえない速さです。叫びすぎて次の日声が枯れるくらい楽しかったです。
・シュノーケリングやサップ等の様々な遊びができるので飽きることがありません。
・軽食はサンドウィッチでした。
・お酒も別途購入することができて遊んだ後に友達とゆっくりお酒を楽しむこともできました。
・日本語ができる添乗員さんもいたのでとても安心でした。（毎回参加しているのかは分かりません）
・あまり天候が良くなかったのでもっと天気のいい日に行きたかったなと思います。
・サンドバーは時期によって時間帯が違うみたいなのでサンドバーに出会いたい方は時間帯をチェックしてから午前か午後に参加するかを決めたほうがいいです。私達は午後だったのでサンドバーをみることはできませんでした。
・家族連れの方も多く、子供も楽しめるツアーだと思います。

Went with a family of 7. Everything was smooth sailing no pun intended. This trip is a Hawaii must! Very family oriented. They played soft calming music while serving fresh drinks and donuts. Once there you have the option to paddle board, snorkel (you can bring your own or they provide it free of charge) or just swim and lounge on a floating lounge area they have already there for guests. Water was crystal clear and fishes were everywhere near the reef. Water might be a little chilly for little ones just a heads up but all dependent on the weather but definitely doable.

Thank you very much for the many first-time experiences. Instructor Minako helped Hayato-kun and we went snorkeling. It was amazing to swim with dolphins while wearing the snorkel. We also saw sea turtles, and the surprise appearance of the dolphins on the way back brought us joy multiple times. It became a wonderful memory.

初めての体験たくさんありがとうございました
インストラクターのみなこさんはやとくんに助けてもらってシュノーケリングをしました
スノーケルをつけてイルカと一緒に泳げてとても最高でした
ウミガメもみれたし帰りのイルカのサプライズ登場に何度も喜ばされました
とてもいい思い出になりました

I had a great time with the crew who spoke Japanese! I am very satisfied with my choice of this activity! The spam onigiri was also a big hit. Thank you to all the crew for taking photos with us! I would love to participate again if I can go to Hawaii someday. Mahalo♪

日本語の出来るクルーがいてくれてとても楽しく過ごせました！このアクティビティを選び大変満足です！スパムおにぎりも大好評。
クルーのみなさんとも写真を撮っていただきありがとうございました！
いつかまたHAWAIIに行けたらもう一度参加したいです。Mahalo♪

Awesome crew, seen turtles, dolphins, all kind of finding Nemo fish. Best price. My only suggestion is to display a better sign or set up to know where to go

We have been on many snorkel cruises and this one was hands down the best. Tyson and the crew treat you just like family. You matter when you are on this excursion and they do everything they can to ensure that you are not only safe but are having the best time while catering to your needs. They even took pictures of us while on the sandbar — they asked us, we did not make the request. ;) We highly recommend them and if we are ever in Hawai’i again would spend another day with them! Just book it, you will not regret it!!

スノーケリングセットと送迎の金額としては妥当に思う。
マスク用曇り止めを持っていく方がより楽しめる。
時間は7時から12時半までとたっぷり楽しめる。
朝イチで入れるので、人がいない状態の写真が撮りやすい。
