Waikiki Sea Turtle Snorkel Tour with One Drink | 2-Hour Morning Adventure aboard Moana Catamaran

Barely saw 1 turtle

Reviewed by: Alex

Boat was very nice, friendly staff, but we stopped at 1 site for a while and didn’t see any turtles, then when we got to the more popular spot there were already 4 more boats and we only got to see 1 turtle. The staff didn’t come in the water with us either to help spotting turtles. Other boats had at least 1 crew in the water to guide their group towards the right spot.

Meeting wild dolphins is truly moving! I was able to encounter spinner dolphins. I recommend wearing a swimsuit from the hotel and putting a T-shirt over it.

やっぱ野生のイルカに会えると感動しますね!

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>

You can enjoy it even on the afternoon course! 昼発のコースでもたのしめます!

Reviewed by: キングジュリアン

There are two types of courses: an early morning departure and a midday departure. With the early morning departure, the water level is about knee-deep, while with the midday departure, it rises to just above the knees. They have plenty of inflatable toys and equipment available, so you can enjoy yourself without any worries. The staff follows very strict safety standards, so I think you can feel safe bringing children along to play.

早朝の出発か、昼発の2タイプコースがありました。
早朝出発だと、水位がひざ下まで、昼発だと水位がひざうえぐらいまであがるようです。
浮き輪などの遊具もたくさん用意してくれているので、気軽に楽しめます。
すんごい安全基準の厳しいスタッフさんなので、こども連れでも安心して遊べるとおもいますよ。

Oahu Lei Greeting Service at Honolulu Airport - Hawaiian Floral Necklace & More

Had to do it again!

Reviewed by: Jeff

I had family members flying to Honolulu for first time back in 2019 and found I could have them receive Lei's as the came off the plane. I thought that sounded like a great greeting to Hawaii for the first time.

My family members loved it so much. I found out they were going to go back to Honolulu again because they fell in love with Hawaii. This time there was going to be a total of 5 family members traveling. I got them all Lei's.

Because of Covid, this time the greeters could not meet my family members at the gate when they deplaned. Everyone in my family still loved getting the Lei's when they reached the baggage claim area.

So be it a gift for yourself or family or friends, I highly recommend a Welcome Flower Lei Greeting at the airport.

Outrigger Canoe Surfing with Waikiki Beach Boys

So much fun! Felt like a kid again!

Reviewed by: TKA

We sincerely enjoyed our time on the ocean with the outrigger captain and first mate! One of the four of us was very hesitant to be in the ocean and freaked out about the possibility of flipping. These guys were excellent from the very beginning in explaining the paddling method, the proper way to enter and exit the canoe, and why it was totally safe!
Once we got out on the water we were able to catch five waves and enjoyed every single ride!
Thank you for such a joyous time!

イルカ大学 イルカウォッチング&シュノーケリングクルーズ イルカと泳ぐプランも!マリンアクティビティも充実<ランチ付き/日本語/ワイキキ&コオリナ送迎可>

It was a good experience. 良い経験になりました

Reviewed by: ゆみんちゅう

We participated as a family of five, with the youngest being five years old. It was quite hard with diving in and out of the sea... It would be fine for just adults, but it can be tiring with small children. We finally got to see the dolphins at the end, and the excitement when we saw them was immense. We also had a little time for snorkeling, which was fun. We were able to see sea turtles while snorkeling, and from the boat, we saw many sea turtles and dolphins, but we couldn't swim together with many of them... I want to try again next time. It's definitely worth participating!

家族5人で参加しました。1番下は5歳。
結構ハードに海にダイブしたり上がったりと…大人だけなら良いですが小さな子連れだと疲れます。肝心のイルカは最後にやっと見れました。見れた時の感動は大きかったです。少しだけシュノーケリングの時間もあり楽しかったです。シュノーケリングでも海亀さん見れて船の上からは何度も海亀さん見れて、船の上からは沢山イルカ見れましたが一緒に沢山はさほど泳げませんでした…また次回トライしたいです。参加する価値はあります‼︎

Thank you for participating! The situation with the wild dolphins varies each time, so please come back for another new experience. I look forward to seeing you again! Mahalo

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

October Bday

Reviewed by: Yanira

My "good" vs "outstanding" rating is 100% dependent on the time of the year. So I had actually done this trip before but in July which I loved. I ended up spending my bday alone during the day so decided I wanted to come back out to the sandbar. Well nothing had changed from the last time, same good food, same great crew, great snorkeling. Not sure if it matters but when I went in July the water was knee deep, when I went in October it was up to my chest. Now I'm only 5ft tall so wasn't gonna drown but it was just different. It was also a little more windy so I'm just gonna chalk it up to a new "season". Still had a great experience but I will more than likely make my sandbar trips in the summer vs the "fall". Still a great friendly crew so don't forget to bring cash to tip them at the end!

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

Exactly how it's described!

Reviewed by: Yanira

I booked this cruise for myself and my family. My son was 11 at the time and about 4 feet tall. I only say this so it makes sense. Well we got there later than we wanted to (we live on island and drove ourselves). Couldn't find parking and the crew let us know where we could park because the little store next to the boats is actually closed for good so that worked out! So yes if you are driving yourself get there early so you aren't freaking out too lol. We got on and they took us to the sandbar where they set up a volleyball net for us and we all got off where the water was down to our knees. So my child wasn't in any danger of drowning. The meal was the most basic hamburger bbq thing you can probably imagine so don't think you are getting some 5 course meal. It def hit the spot and I did not mind it at all. They offered some beer choices and wine as well as non-alcoholic drinks. The alcohol was not free. Not a big deal at all and didn't expect it to be. They took card and cash :) After a little bit of being out there we went out to a reef and were given gear to go snorkeling. It was beautiful. We were also pointed out things such as Gilligan's island at some point. Lastly we saw turtles and the crew had music playing through the trip. They were very nice. Don't bring too much stuff with you tho because when it was at 100% capacity you had to really squish. Towel, water, sunscreen and your own alcohol is what you should probably bring lol. Overall great July experience, great crew and perfect for taking your visiting family and friends from the mainland. Don't forger to bring cash to leave tips at the end of the trip!
