The ocean is beautiful after all!! やっぱり海がきれい!!

Reviewed by: ひろみるく

Unlike the ocean in Waikiki, it was truly clear and beautiful. There were also many tropical fish swimming around, making me feel like I was really in Hawaii. In the end, a few Japanese people and I played volleyball and had a great time. I plan to join this tour again the next time I come to Hawaii! It was fun.

ワイキキの海と違って、本当に透き通るようなきれいさでした。
また、南国のトロピカルな魚もたくさん泳いでいて、ハワイに来たんだなあという感じです。
最後は日本人何人かでバレーボールをやって盛り上がりました。
次、ハワイに来るときもこのツアーは参加しようと思います!楽しかった。

2.5-Hour Spirit of Aloha Waikiki Turtle Snorkel Tour with Cocktails from Hilton

Great staff, but snorkel spot was just ok.

Reviewed by: Josh

Overall, we enjoyed the trip. Staff was great! However, the snorkel spot was crowded with lots of other groups. It felt like you were bumping into people the whole time. We saw some turtles, but there wasn't much else to see. Also, the parking instructions are unclear. All it said was they validate in the garage, so I parked in the obvious giant garage. But they don't validate in that one (the Hale Koa). They only validate in the Hilton Garage which is harder to find. I hope they aren't unclear on purpose...that cost an extra $39!

Disappointed with the sandbar. サンドバーにガッカリ

Reviewed by: 最悪のハワイのツアー

I had imagined Sandbar to be a sandy beach like in the pictures, but it was just a shallow area, which was disappointing. Also, the hamburger lunch was small and not very tasty. Until now, all the tours I participated in Hawaii were very satisfying, but this time I was disappointed for the first time.

サンドバーは写真のような砂浜をイメージしていましたが、単なる浅瀬で、がっかりしました。またハンバーガーランチは小さく味もイマイチでした。
今まで参加したハワイのツアーはとても満足のいくものばかりでしたが、今回初めてがっかりしました。

Captain Bruce Kaneohe Sandbar Tour with Snorkel, SUP & Waikiki Transport

Great experience

Reviewed by: Lara

I wasn't sure what to expect but it was such a great time. Captain Z is awesome, Casey was knowledgeable and Jaime was a lot of fun to talk to. We were able to see turtles when snorkelling thanks to them telling us where to look. The water activities were fun and I got to Stand Up Paddleboard for a decent amount of time. We were supplied with plenty of snacks and drinks (hot and cold). Overall it was amazing and I would highly recommend.

Kaneohe Bay is often cloudy. カネオヘ湾は曇りやすいです

Reviewed by: ハムハムヌクヌクアプーア

I signed up for a year-end tour.

On the morning of the day, Waikiki was sunny, but by the time we arrived at Kaneohe Bay, it was cloudy. According to another tour guide, the eastern side of the Hawaiian Islands tends to be cloudier and rainier compared to the southern and western sides.

The local staff were friendly and attentive, ensuring that we didn't drift too far from the buoys, which made it easy to enjoy the experience even with kids. It was a slightly chilly day, but there were enough canoes, SUPs, and snorkeling gear for everyone, even though the boat was nearly full. However, the donuts provided as a light snack ran out quickly, so I recommend securing them early.

年末のツアーに申し込みました。
当日朝のワイキキは晴れていたのですが、バスでカネオヘ湾に着く頃には曇天に。他ツアーのガイドに聞いた話だと、ハワイ諸島は島の東側は南側・西側に比べ曇天や雨になりやすいのだそうです。

現地スタッフの皆さんがフレンドリーで、風でブイより遠くに流されたりしないように、など良く見ていてもらえたので子連れでも安心してエンジョイできました。
少し肌寒い日でしたがほぼ満席でもカヌーやSAP、シュノーケリング用具が足りなくなることはありませんでした。
ただ、軽食として提供されるドーナツは早めに品切れとなるので早めの確保をお勧めします。

Waikiki Turtle Snorkeling Tour on a Private Catamaran - Hawaii Ocean Charters

Amazing experience!

Reviewed by: Radhika

Our family of 6 was excited about snorkeling and seeing turtles. My children and husband had never been before, so this was a perfect day with a Nick taking the kids through the water. It was a personal tour of the beautiful reef. My elderly parents preferred staying on the boat, but that was excellent too as Sam filled us in on all the history about the island. I would highly recommend taking the two-hour private charter as the attention to detail and attention to guests is unmatched. They had drinks and water for us.
What are you waiting for? Book your private charter today and experience your ocean snorkel on a level above the rest.

For beginners 初級者向

Reviewed by: はにー

It might be the same everywhere, but I was forced to wear a buoy around my waist and was bombarded with English instructions. Even when I wanted to get out because it was cold, they wouldn’t let anyone leave until everyone was in the water. If I tried to get out from another spot, I was redirected. It was a terrible place. It would be better if there were Japanese staff present.

どこも同じようなものかも知れませんが、腰に、うき具を付けらされ、一方的に英語でまくし立てられ、寒いから上がろうとしても、全員水に入るまでは、上がらせない。別の所から上がろうとすると回らされる、最低な所でした。日本人スタッフが居るところが良いですね。

This was my first time participating. The shuttle was over 15 minutes late, so I was really anxious about whether I was at the right meeting point. I thought that if there were a photo of the meeting place, it might reduce the number of people who are late.

I think the weather played a part, but the sea was very cold, which was tough for my daughters. If it was going to be this cold, it would have been nice to have a heads-up about bringing wetsuits for warmth. The local staff were very nice, and the sandwiches were delicious!

Thank you very much for participating in the tour.

Waikiki Guided Beach Snorkeling Tour for Beginners with FREE Photos & Videos

Snorkelling Experience

Reviewed by: Angela

Snorkeling with Mickey was so much fun! It was good to see that he was enjoying it as much as we were, even though it’s something he’s done many times. He really knows how to make you feel at ease while in the water, even for first time or lesser experienced swimmers. The activity itself was very cool. We got to see some interesting animals at the ocean floor, such as sea cucumbers, sea urchins, and even some fish. I would definitely recommend to anyone who is thinking of signing up for it, and for such a reasonable price too. Surprisingly the photo’s actually turned out quite well too.

ハナウマ湾シュノーケリング ベテラン日本語ガイドがご案内する少人数制ツアー 貸切プランあり<半日>

I couldn't see any sea turtles. ウミガメは見れませんでした

Reviewed by: MM

I'm really glad I was able to enter Hanauma Bay, which requires a reservation! The instructor was very polite and spoke Japanese, which was quite helpful. There were 10 participants and 2 instructors this time, but since the activities were tailored to the participants' levels, the snorkeling ended up being quite shallow, and the water clarity wasn't great. I was really looking forward to snorkeling in Hawaii, so it was a bit disappointing.

予約がないと入れないハナウマベイに入れたのは、とってもよかったです‼︎
インストラクターの方はとても丁寧で日本語も話せるので、かなり助かりました。
今回は参加者10人、インストラクター2人だったのですが、参加者のレベルに合わせてになるので今回のシュノーケリングらかなり浅瀬のみでの実施になってしまい、普通のシュノーケリングかつ海の透明度もイマイチでした。。

Reviewed by: いのまさ

Unfortunately, it was quite cold and rainy, so most people only played a little in the sea at the sandbar.

However, it's natural, and since December is the rainy season in Hawaii, it can't be helped.

During the sea turtle watching, we were able to spot many sea turtles from the boat.

After that, we went snorkeling. There were many fish swimming around the coral reef, and it was a great experience. I hope to visit again in the warmer summer season next time.

生憎の雨模様でかなり寒く、ほとんどの人がサンドバーでは少し海に入って遊ぶだけでした。

ただ、自然のことですし、ハワイは12月が雨季ということで仕方がないですね。

海亀ウォッチングでは、多くの海亀を船上から見つけることができました。

その後、シュノーケリング。珊瑚礁の周りを魚が多く泳いでおり、いい経験になりました。願わくば次は夏のより暖かい季節に訪れたいと思います。

I used the banana boat, and it was an incredibly thrilling experience due to the high speed. I also got to ride a canoe and encountered sea turtles. The staff provided fish food, which attracted a lot of fish, making snorkeling fantastic.

However, I went during low tide, and there was no visibility of land, with the water being deep enough that I could barely touch the bottom, so that was a bit disappointing.

Reviewed by: フミ

On December 25th, most facilities were closed, so our family of four decided to spend the day at the beach. The staff were quick to explain things and friendly in offering advice. We chose to rent bicycles and borrowed snorkeling gear to head to Lanikai Beach. We were amazed by the beautiful sandy beach and thoroughly enjoyed snorkeling. Next, we returned to Kailua Beach to enjoy swimming in the sea.

For lunch, it seemed that many places were closed, so we had no choice but to go with the tortillas from Kalapawai Market (there were about seven types). It seemed like the staff didn't fully understand the tour coupon, and I almost had to pay at the register and nearly missed out on getting mineral water and chips, but I managed to get through it with Google Translate.

I wanted to eat on the beach, but due to time constraints, we returned to Kailua Beach Adventure to eat. The tortillas were very delicious, but they were quite filling, so I took some home for dinner. It turned out to be a memorable day.

12月25日は、ほとんどの施設が休みなので海で過ごそうと家族4人で参加しました。
スタッフの方々は、てきぱきと説明してくれたり、気さくにアドバイスしてくれたりしました。
オプションは自転車を選択し、シュノーケルを借りて、ラニカイビーチに向かいました。美しい砂浜に感動、シュノーケリングもしっかり楽しめました。次にカイルアビーチに戻り、海水浴を楽しみました。
ランチは、店が休みの所が多い為なのか、カラパワイマーケットのトルティーヤ(7種類位はあった)一択でした。店員さんがツアーのクーポンの事をよくわかってないのか、レジで支払いをさせられそうになったり、ミネラルウォーターとポテチをもらいそびれそうになったりしましたが、Google翻訳で何とか乗り切れました。
ビーチで食べたかったのですが、時間的に厳しかったのでカイルアビーチアドベンチャーに戻って食べました。トルティーヤはとても美味しかったですが、ボリュームがあったので持ち帰り夕飯にしました。

Waikiki Snorkel with Turtles Cruise with Beers & Cocktails - Ke Kai Catamaran

Fun trip on Ke Kai Catamaran

Reviewed by: Shital Lakhani

Loved this funky yellow catamaran. The people were very helpful. It was my 2 nd time snorkeling and was really nervous about swimming in the ocean. Dillan was great life guard also gave me an extra float so that I feel more secure.
The views the music the drinks and the people were fantastic on this catamaran.
I would highly recommend this tour.
Only recommendation is to probably do the morning cruise as we spotted only 1 sea turtle which was very still. At the very bottom of the ocean floor and extremely few fishes.
Infact we saw more fishes at the sand box.
I would highly recommend it because we had a blast in this trip. It was my husbands 50th birthday and he loved it.

Cheerful cruising! 陽気なクルージング!

Reviewed by: ぴかちゃん

We participated with two friends and two 3-year-olds, making a total of six people.

It was a fun cruise accompanied by cheerful music. Depending on the day, it might be a good idea for those who are prone to motion sickness to take some medication beforehand. We were able to see many dolphins, and both adults and children were very excited.

Although it was my first time participating in dolphin watching and snorkeling, my friends, who have been multiple times, said it was a relatively relaxed tour and snorkeling experience. My 3-year-old daughter seemed to enjoy floating while being held and was happily watching the underwater world with the snorkeling mask we brought.

When we participated, it seemed there were no Japanese speakers, but we were treated kindly, which made us feel at ease.

友人夫婦と3歳児2人、合わせて6人で参加しました。

陽気な音楽ともに楽しいクルージングでした。
日によるかもしれませんが、乗り物酔いに弱い方は酔い止めを飲んで参加した方が良いかもしれません。
イルカも沢山見ることが出来き、大人も子供達も大興奮でした。

投稿者はドルフィンウォッチングやシュノーケリングは初参加でしたが、複数回経験のある友人夫婦は比較的のんびりとしたツアーやシュノーケリングだと言っていました。
3歳の娘も抱えられながら気持ちよさそうに浮いたり、持参した水中箱メガネで楽しそうに海中を眺めていました。

私達が参加した時は日本語を話せる方はみえなかったようですが、親切に接して頂けたので安心しました。

West Oahu Dolphin Watch & Reef Snorkel Tour with Ocean Activities - Iruka Hawaii

Getting in the water with wild dolphins!

Reviewed by: L.S. Yamanaka

[Reviewed by HawaiiActivities.com Staff]

My morning with Iruka Hawaii's dolphin swim and snorkel was nothing short of absolutely perfect. From start to finish, every moment on the water was just fantastically fun!

The boat was a pleasantly spacious and comfortable, and the crew was incredibly helpful and impressively knowledgeable about dolphins. Their expertise added a whole new layer of appreciation to the experience~

Snorkeling twice was a highlight, and I spotted a bunch of fish and turtles, but the real showstopper was seeing bottlenose dolphins gliding beneath us. It was definitely something I will never forget :)

We also got great views of Hawaiian spinner dolphins from the boat, and I can't describe just how adorable it is when you see them jumping and spinning out of the water. Definitely glad I had my phone camera ready!

Lunch was simple yet delicious, hitting the spot perfectly, and the availability of snacks was a great way to stay fueled for the adventure.

And a massive shoutout for the provided transportation from Waikiki to Waianae since it is almost an hour drive, and I wouldn't have been able to get out there any other way.

Can't wait to go again!!!

ハナウマ湾シャトルサービス シュノーケリングセットレンタル付き<英語ドライバー>

The weather was unavoidable, but I wished they had also prepared explanation pouches for Japanese people. 天候は、仕方ないけど、日本人用の説明パウチの準備もして欲しかった

Reviewed by: ピーチボーイズ

At the end of December, it was the rainy season, so the weather was bad and cold, making it impossible to stay in the sea for even 10 minutes. I quickly headed towards the parking lot, but there was no place to take shelter from the rain, and many people were gathered under the small roof of the shop and restroom. I thought it would be nice to have a facility with a roof to take shelter during such times.

The driver-guide was kind and friendly, but since the explanations were only in English, I couldn't understand anything and felt anxious from start to finish, which made the experience zero fun. While there were some pouches with explanations about the fish, I wished they could at least prepare a minimal Japanese pouch with the day's itinerary, return time, meeting place, and precautions for Hanauma Bay. I think Japanese people who cannot speak English should not participate. Conversely, if they want to attract Japanese customers, they should prepare explanatory pouches. If they don't need Japanese customers, then it's fine to continue as they have been. At least I managed to get back.

12月末で雨期だったので、天候が悪く、寒くて、10分も海に浸かることができないほど、直ぐに着替え駐車場の方に向かったが、雨宿りするところもなく売店とトイレの小さな屋根の所に大勢でいてましてが、こんな時に雨宿りできる屋根のある施設があれば良いのにな〜と思いました。
運転手ガイドさんは、優しくて親切ではありますが、英語の説明しかないので、全くわからず最初から最後まで不安で楽しさは、0でした。魚の説明のパウチ等は、軽く回されましたが、そのパウチを準備できるならせめて最小限の日本語の1日の流れ、帰りの時間と集合場所、ハナウマベイの注意事項等のパウチを準備して欲しかった。英語のできない日本人は、参加すべきでないと思います。逆に日本人のお客さんを獲得したいなら説明パウチを準備すべきだと思います。日本人のお客さんを必要ないと思うなら今まで通りで良いかと思います。何とか帰ってこれましたから

Captain Bob's Kaneohe Sandbar Snorkeling Tour & BBQ Lunch with Waikiki Pickup

Great fun! Well Worth the money!

Reviewed by: Jamie

So much fun. the bbq burgers were good. The 1st stop is not worth it to snorkel, not much to see, just enjoy the sandbar and the volleyball. the 2nd spot was good snorkeling b/c it was at a reef. Don't swim over top of it though. just around it. you can make it all the way around it with plenty of time to spare. It was very fun. The water was a little cold, but not too bad but thats probably because I went the week of Thanksgiving. They give you the gear you need, my suggestion is to fit the mask before you get down to the water. they give you full foot fins to use. The crew was super helpful and really nice. I definitely recommend!!

サンドバー キャプテンブルース 天国の海®︎シュノーケリングクルーズ SUPや浮き輪などレンタルアイテムも!<午前・午後/日本語クルー>

First sandbar and snorkeling experience. 初めてのサンドバー、シュノーケリング体験

Reviewed by: こうぢ

I'm not sure if it was the timing, but it wasn't as shallow as it looked in the photos; however, it was a beautiful sandbar. It was the first time for my whole family to go snorkeling, but thanks to the guide's clear explanations in Japanese and their company while diving, we were able to see many turtles and fish, creating wonderful memories. I definitely want to participate again next time.

時期的に違うのかわかりませんが、写真で見ていたほどの浅瀬ではありませんでしたが、きれいなサンドバーでした。
家族全員が初めてのシュノーケリングでしたが、添乗員のわかりやすい日本語の説明や一緒に潜って頂き、沢山の亀や魚を見れ最高の思い出を作れました。
また、次回も是非参加したいです。

Aloha! This is Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour. Thank you very much for participating in the tour. The sandbar's tide varies daily from 0 centimeters to about 1 meter, depending on the time, but we have designed the tour to ensure everyone can enjoy it regardless of the tide height. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed the beautiful sandbar and your first snorkeling experience. The sandbar shows various expressions depending on the season and time of day, so we hope you will come again! We look forward to seeing you. Mahalo!

A delightful Experience

I recently had the pleasure of experiencing Veltra Sandbar Ocean Sports and I must say it exceeded my expectations. From the moment I engaged with the staff, I was impressed by their friendliness and the professionalism. Their team not only delivered on its promises but also provided a seamless and user-friendly seevices.

The customer support was exceptional, demonstrating a commitment to customer satisfaction. Any queries I had were promptly addressed.

My overall experience was nothing short of fantastic.

Thank you
