My fiancé and I went on the Snorkel and Sunset cruise the second week of November. The bus pick-up was extremely easy and allowed for worry-free drinks on the cruise.
The cruise was spectacular. The orientation was clear and made us both feel comfortable. The snorkel spot selected was stunning and quite safe feeling. We saw many tropical fish and even had a ray breeze past! We spotted a humpback whale breaching and so the captain took us on over for a closer look.
The Kalua pork was tasty for dinner and the crew went out of their way to make sure we were all satisfied. We were treated to a beautiful sunset and leisurely cruise back to harbor.

Snorkeling at Angel's Sea's coral reef was amazing because I got to swim with a sea turtle. Before getting on the boat, it was raining and the weather was bad, but it cleared up before we boarded, which was great. Angel's Sea is really shallow and the water is beautiful. However, it was disappointing that there weren't many fish. It's a gentle course for beginners since you can practice snorkeling.
The next coral reef was deeper offshore, which might be a bit intimidating at first, but wearing a life jacket ensures you won't sink, so it's reassuring. Since the sun wasn't shining, it was hard to see the coral from the surface. Once you enter the coral reef, it gets shallower, which increases your sense of security, but be careful not to touch the bottom as it can cause environmental damage. The rule is to swim around the coral reef. There were plenty of fish, and I saw a sea turtle swimming as well, which was really nice. By chance, a sea turtle was right below me, and I was able to swim with it, which was the highlight of the experience.
天使の海のサンゴ礁でのシュノーケリングで、ウミガメと一緒に泳げたので、最高です。
ボートにに乗る前は、雨が降って天気が悪かったのですが、乗る前には天気も回復したので、良かったです。
天使の海は、本当に浅瀬で海はきれいです。ただ、魚がいないので残念でした。
シュノーケリングの練習もできるので、初心者には優しいコースです。
次のサンゴ礁でのシュノーケリングは、、沖合で海底が深く、ちょっと慣れないとしり込みしますが、ライフジャケットを着ていたら、絶対に沈まないので安心です。
日が差していなかったので、サンゴの場所が海面からでは分かりずらかったのです。
サンゴ礁に入ったら、浅くなるので安心感が増すのですが、足を着いたら自然破壊になるので、要注意です。
サンゴ礁の周りを泳ぐのがルール。
魚も沢山いたし、ウミガメも泳いでいましたので、とても良かったです。
偶然に、ウミガメが真下にいて、一緒に泳ぐことができたので、最高でした。

I was finally able to go to the Angel's Sea that I had wanted to visit for a long time, and I saw a lot of fish while snorkeling! The water level at the sandbar was higher than I had imagined, but I understood that it can vary due to different conditions. I was able to go and come back quickly, so I enjoyed plenty of time in Hawaii in the afternoon! The staff were cheerful and interesting people, and even though it was a short time, I had a great time!
ずっと行きたかった天使の海に行けて、シュノーケルでたくさんの魚が見れました♡
サンドバーでは想像していたより水位が高かったですが、いろいろな条件が重なってできるものだと聞いて納得!
サクッと行ってサクッと帰れたので午後もたっぷりハワイを楽しめました!スタッフの方も明るく、おもしろい人たちで短い時間でしたが楽しめました( ˙▿︎˙ )/

My 9-year-old child participated and had a great time. They were able to stand up on the board in just one session and now want to continue surfing. The instructor was a foreigner, so I think it would be more enjoyable if you understand some English. By the way, my child can speak, so it seems they had a lot of fun! They also said the instructor was cool.
子供1人『9歳』が参加して最高だった、一回で立てて今後もサーフィンをやりたいと言っています。先生は外人なのである程度英語が分かった方が面白いのかなと思います。ちなみに子供はしゃべれるのでとっても楽しかったようです!先生もかっこよかったと言っていました。

There were many exciting attractions, and I had a great time screaming with joy! I opted for the all-you-can-eat plan, but I think it might be better to buy food on-site. The sun was strong, so it might be a good idea to get drinks as well. It wasn't too crowded, probably because it was the day after Veterans Day, so I was satisfied that I could enjoy without waiting in long lines!

I participated at the last session at 4 PM as a memory of our honeymoon.
The pickup bus was 7 or 8 minutes late, which made me anxious, but in the end, we were able to enjoy the sky and sea of Waikiki without any issues.
It was my first time parasailing. I was surprised at how quiet it was up in the air. I initially thought there would be a strong wind, but instead, it felt like time had stopped as I leisurely chatted with my wife during our aerial stroll. Just the two of us under the slightly setting Hawaiian sky. I felt so happy.
As part of the experience, there was a moment when we were descending to the boat at the end of the session, and they pretended to drop us into the sea for a second before soaring back up into the air. My wife and I got completely soaked, and the seawater stung our noses, but it became a fun memory. I'm grateful for that.
However, the waves were rough that day, and the boat was rocking a lot. An American man who had been lively on the way there was completely groggy on the way back. If you're prone to motion sickness, taking anti-nausea medication is a must.
新婚旅行の思い出に最終16時に参加しました。
迎えのバスが7、8分遅れて焦りましたが、結果無事にワイキキの空と海を楽しめました。
初パラセイリング。上空は思いのほか静かで驚きました。
当初はもっとバシバシ風が来るものかと思ってましたが、時間が止まったかのような静寂の中、のんびりカミさんと会話しながらの空中散歩。
少し日が傾き始めたハワイの空に2人きり。幸せを感じました。
これはお約束のジョークなのか、体験終了時間が来てボートに降下していく際、一瞬海に落とすフリしてまた上空に舞い上がるという演出が入ります。
我々夫婦はどっぷり頭まで浸かってしまい、海水で鼻がツーンとなりましたが、それも楽しい思い出となりました。感謝です。
ただ、当日は波が荒かったのか、船の揺れがハンパなく、行きのボート上では元気だったアメリカ人のおじさんが帰りには完全グロッキーになっていました。
乗り物に弱い人は酔い止め必須です。

I participated in June.
I was worried about the weather, but I was able to see the beautiful sea.
However, I was disappointed that the sandbar had water up to my calves, which was not what I expected...
The Japanese female staff member was very cheerful and kind, and she took various shots with the camera, which I really appreciated!
It was my first time snorkeling, but they provided all the necessary equipment and taught me how to use it, so I felt safe diving.
Honestly, I wasn't expecting much from the food, but the hamburgers grilled on the spot were very delicious.
I definitely want to participate again!! Thank you very much!!
I recommend bringing a towel or hoodie, as it gets very cold after coming out of the sea.
6月に参加しました。

ただ、期待していたサンドバーはふくらはぎぐらいまで水位があって残念でしたが、、、

This was my first time in Hawaii for our honeymoon. My husband wanted to go snorkeling, so we chose this tour where we could swim with dolphins and enjoy snorkeling as well.
First, we were given flowers and had a touching moment of prayer together as we faced the sea. The main dolphin watching part was a bit intense; as soon as we arrived at the spot, we had to jump into the cold water without any warm-up or getting used to it, which made me a bit worried about having a heart attack! The experience of swimming with dolphins was different from what I imagined; instead of leisurely swimming alongside them, it felt more like a hurried attempt to catch a glimpse of the dolphins swimming below us while snorkeling. Since the dolphins are wild animals, it wasn't the relaxing experience I had hoped for.
The dolphin watching was over in an instant, and since some people didn't get to see them, we had a total of two watching sessions, but it felt like we were only in the water for about five minutes, which honestly left me wanting more. After that, we returned to the boat, but it was quite cold with the sea breeze, making it really uncomfortable until we reached the next snorkeling spot. I highly recommend wearing a thick hoodie and bringing a large towel.
The snorkeling afterward was satisfying because we got to see sea turtles up close, which was different from the main dolphin watching. However, the snorkeling time was relatively short, and it felt like it was over before we knew it. It wasn't a leisurely experience but more of a quick taste of it. After returning to the boat, we had a lunch that was labeled as BBQ, which turned out to be cheeseburgers. I had seen reviews about this beforehand, so I was prepared, but those expecting a BBQ might feel a bit misled. The taste was good, though.
Afterward, we enjoyed dancing the hula and taking photos, which was fun. However, in the covered area at the back, the deck leading to the second floor obstructed the view, and there was a noticeable difference in enthusiasm between the guests in front and those behind. Since we were seated at the back, I think some adjustments could be made for better visibility for everyone.
▼ Points of Concern
- The BBQ was misleading since I had an image of grilled meat; the cheeseburger label could cause confusion.
- Water was leaking from the air conditioning in the shuttle bus, soaking some guests.
- The photo data was quite expensive.
- The small boat made it feel like we had to be considerate of others during the move, and depending on the seat, the stairs blocked the view and sound of staff explanations and dances.
- There were no napkins or tissues provided for wiping hands after eating burgers and chips, which made things a bit difficult and the seats tended to get dirty.
- There was little consideration for those feeling cold or seasick; it would have been nice to have some towels or something prepared.
▼ Positive Aspects
- The moment of throwing flowers during the prayer was romantic.
- We got to see sea turtles up close.
- The music on the boat was lively.
- The temporary tattoo stickers were a nice touch.
For those who have participated in other tours or are of a more mature age, you might notice some issues with the facilities, timing, and service. If this were a monitor tour price, I would be satisfied, but at the regular price, I would like to see a bit more in terms of quality and time allocation.
I may have been a bit critical, but I’m really glad I was able to participate.
ハネムーンで初のハワイでした。旦那さんがシュノーケリングをしたいとの事で、イルカと泳げてシュノーケルも楽しめるこちらのツアーにしました。
まずお花を配られて海に向かって皆でのお祈りの時間は感動しました♪
メインのイルカウォッチングは、イルカがいる地点に着くと「今からすぐ行くよ!」という感じでそれまで一切準備運動や水に触れる事なくイキナリ冷たい海に飛び込まないといけないので、ちょっと心臓発作にならないか心配になりました;
メインのイルカと泳ぐツアーは少し想像と違っていて、イルカと泳ぐというよりはシュノーケルで真下を泳ぐイルカを急いで見る!みたいな少しせわしないものでした笑
イルカは野生で自然の生き物ですから、ゆっくり横で見れる~という感じではないのでもともとの私のイメージが少し期待しすぎたかもしれません^^;
イルカウォッチングは一瞬で終わってしまい、見れない方がいたので合計2回のウォッチングとなりましたが、海にいたのはものの5分程度?と思う程短かったので1回だけでは正直かなり物足りなかった気がします。。
その後船に戻りましたが、海風もあってかなり寒く……。次のシュノーケルの地点まで本当に寒くてツライ位でした;
参加される方はしっかり厚手のパーカと大き目のバスタオルは必須です。
その後のシュノーケリングは、メインのイルカウォッチングと違って海ガメを近くで見ながら泳ぐ事が出来て満足です♪
ただ、こちらもシュノーケルの時間が割と短く、もう終わりか~という感じでした。
ゆっくり楽しんだ!という時間ではなく、ちょっと体験!みたいな時間ですね。
船に戻ってからは、BBQという名のチーズバーガーの昼食時間。
BBQの件は事前に口コミを見ていたので、了承済みですがBBQと思って参加される方は「これだけ?」となると思いますので少し過大表記しすぎかと…。
味はおいしいです。
その後は帰りまでフラを踊ったり、写真を撮ったりと盛り上げてくれるのは楽しかったです。
が、奥の屋根付きの所だと二階へのデッキが邪魔で全然見えず、前の客と後の客の温度差が…笑
こちらも奥の座席だったのでちょっと、もう少し皆がみやすい様に工夫が必要かと思います。
▼気になった点
・BBQは、焼き肉のイメージを持つのでチーズバーガーという表記が誤解がないのでは?
・送迎バスのクーラーから水が漏れていて、お客さんにすごい水掛かっていた
・写真データがあまりに高い
・小ぶりの船で、移動には他の人に気を使う感じだったのと、席によっては階段が邪魔でスタッフの説明やダンスなどが見えない&聞こえない
・ハンバーガーやポテトチップスを食べるが手をふくものやティッシュもなく(数人に配ったら途中でなくなっちゃった、ごめんね~という感じ)ちょっと大変&席が汚れがち
・さむがっている人や酔っている人には特に配慮がない(数枚でもタオルや何か用意していてもいいかな)
▼よかった点
・お祈りの時間で花を投げたのがロマンチック
・海ガメが近くで見れた
・海での音楽で盛り上がった
・タトゥーシールがちょっとうれしい
他のツアーなどに参加された経験のある方や割と大人の年齢の方だと設備面や時間、対応などが少し目につく所があると思います。モニターツアーでの価格なら納得♪ですが、正規の料金だともう少し充実度(時間の幅取り)がほしいかなと思います。
少し辛口でしたが、参加できたことはすごく良かったです。

I participated with my family on October 15, 2015. We've traveled to Oahu several times, but it was difficult to make a reservation, so we finally made it to the sandbar this time. The weather was nice when we departed from Waikiki, but by the time we arrived at Kaneohe Bay, it was pouring rain and very cold, making us worry if we would even reach the sandbar. However, we set sail as planned towards the sandbar. Along the way, the rain stopped, and we even saw sea turtles, which lifted our spirits as we arrived at the sandbar! The water was about knee-deep that day. All participants put on snorkeling gear and swam near the coral reef. Although the visibility wasn't great, we were able to see many fish. I looked up at the sky several times wishing for sunshine, but the staff's enthusiasm was amazing, and the simple sandwiches we had at the end were delicious! Next time, I definitely hope for a sunny day!
2015.10/15に家族で参加しました。
オアフ島へ何度か旅行してますが中々予約が取れなくて今回やっとサンドバーに行けました(^^)ワイキキを出発するときはお天気でしたがカネオ湾に到着するときにはなんと土砂降りでとても寒くてサンドバーにたどり着けるのか心配でしたが予定通り出航してサンドバーへ向かいました。途中、雨も上がり海亀さんも顔を題してくれてじょじょにテンションも上がりサンドバーへ到着です!この日はひざ下ぐらいの海水でした。参加者全員でシュノーケルをつけ珊瑚礁の近くを泳ぎました。透明度がありませんでしたが沢山の魚の姿を見ることができました。
何度も晴れていれば~と天を見上げましたが、スタッフの皆さん達の盛り上げ方も最高でしたし最後に頂いたシンプルのサンドイッチも美味しかったです!
次回は是非晴れた日に(^_-)-☆

I was moved to see the sea turtles. During snorkeling, there were sea turtles, and I was able to swim with them. However, I was a bit disappointed by the long wait times, such as waiting for the boat to depart.
Also, due to the timing, I understand it can't be helped, but I had imagined the sandbar to be a bit shallower; the water level was higher than I expected. The plan included about an hour of snorkeling time, but many participants were tired and got back on the boat after about 30 minutes, so it might be better to have a shorter time in the water.
ウミガメが見られて感動でした。シュノーケリングの際にもウミガメがいて一緒に泳ぐこともできました。ですが、船の出向までの待ち時間など待たされることも多く少し残念でした。
また、時期の問題で仕方ないのですが、サンドバーはもう少し浅いものを想像していたのですが、思っていたよりも水面が高かったです。プランでは1時間程度シュノーケリングの時間が取れられていましたが、参加者の多数派疲れて30分くらいで船に上がっていたので、海に入るための時間は短めでもいいかもしれません。

The sandbar was cold. It seemed like it was a time of year when the beach wasn't really accessible, and I was constantly waist-deep in the sea. It wasn't at all like the small island I had imagined. I should have done proper research.
But!! After going snorkeling, my mood completely changed!
It was so much fun, and I really felt glad that I participated.
The crew was considerate towards families with children, so I recommend it for those with kids as well.
サンドバーは寒かったです。砂浜が季節的に?出ない時期だったようで、ずっと腰まで海に浸かっている状態で、私が想像していた、小さい小島?みたいな感じではありませんでした。ちゃんとリサーチすればよかったです。
でも‼︎シュノーケルに行って、気分一転!
すごく楽しくて、本当に参加してよかったと思えましたd(>Д<*)/

Upon reflection, I realized I participated even though I have a fear of heights (laughs). Even at 45 meters, it was thrilling enough. However, the experience of viewing all of Waikiki and the beautiful ocean from above was exceptional!
I just wish I had known that for an additional $30, I could have had photos taken on the day. I went without that knowledge and only had money for tips... It was difficult to capture my experience with my own camera. So, I give it ★4!
よくよく考えてみたら、高所恐怖症なのに参加してしまいました(笑)
45Mでも、十分スリリングでした。
でも、本当にワイキキ全体と美しい海を上空から眺められる体験は格別でした!

海はきれいだし、ボートは気持ちいいし、ビーチバレーも楽しかった。
シュノーケルはきれいな魚とカメさんも見られて良かったぁ。
でも一番はマンタが6頭サークルを描いて泳いでるのをみられたことがなにより感動!!
あと、キャプテンが焼いてくれたバーガーがすごーくおいしかった!
ハワイで食べたバーガーで一番おいしかったかもしれない。
今度は快晴のサンドバーに行きたいなぁ。
来年もぜひ参加したいと思います。

At the end of October, I participated in the first tour of the day! It was a day with rain in the forecast, but it only rained briefly like a downpour. It seems that as the rainy season begins, there will be more rainy days ahead.
I thought there might be others who are unsure whether to choose a short morning tour or a longer one, but since I don't have much stamina, the 45-minute snorkeling was just enough for me (laughs).
The guide was Japanese, funny, and provided thorough explanations, making it a well-organized tour. I encountered sea turtles and mantas, making it an amazing tour that I highly recommend.
10月末、朝一番のツアーに参加しました!
雨予報の日でしたが、スコールみたいで一次的にしか降りませんでした。雨季が始まる頃、今後は雨の日が多くなるみたいです。
朝の短時間のツアーか時間の長いツアーで迷われてる方がいらっしゃるかなと思うのですが、私は体力があまりないので45分のシュノーケルで十分でした(笑)
ガイドさんは日本人で面白いし、解説も丁寧できちんとしたツアーです。ウミガメやマンタにも出会えて最高のツアーでオススメです。

I was worried it would be disappointing if it rained at the sandbar, but we were blessed with wonderful weather, and I got to see many sea turtles. The sandwiches for our light meal were delicious, and our guide was fantastic. However, one thing that was a bit disappointing for me was that the sandbar was only knee-deep in seawater, which was different from the image I had seen on TV.
サンドバーまで行って雨だったら残念と思っていましたが
すばらしい天気にめぐまれ海がめにもたくさん合えたし
軽食のサンドイッチも美味しくガイドさんのおもしろさも
最高でしたが1つ自分なりに残念だったのが
サンドバーが海水でひざ下ほどありテレビで見たイメージと違って
いたことです

Tour guide/driver was very good. He presented interesting and important facts about what we were going to see and hear. Kept the group organized as far as time factors. Provided interesting facts about the islands.

Let me start off by saying I NEVER post reviews...which I need to work on because I am always checking them out before I do/buy things. This was my boyfriend & I first trip to Hawaii so we were very excited! We chose the Five Star package because of the jazz music (we attended a luau the night before & did not want to have the same theme).
They picked us up from our hotel at 4:30 pm. From the very beginning we were treated like VIP. We were led to the top deck to have champagne & o'dourves with the captain. We also got to take a professional pic with the captain, which was cool. After that, we were led to our seat inside the ship. We had a window seat & loved it. We were a little worried about getting seasick, but it wasn't a problem. I was a little concerned about the food at first because neither one of us are into fancy food, but it was pretty good (as stated before we chose that package specifically for the music). Instead of the lobster we chose a stuffed chicken option which was my favorite! For our steak entree we asked that it was cooked well done & it was the most tender steak ever! Throughout the dinner you can step outside as you please to feel the breeze, take in the views, & take pics.
The ambiance was beautiful! There was a live pianist, saxophonist/flutist, & singer. They were great! In the end they gave us the photo we took with the captain in a nice album cover with a pic of the ship on the water. Also, all of the ladies were given a rose. The only thing I WISH I would have did was asked for another copy of the photo so my boyfriend & I can both have one :-( I didn't even think about it until we returned back to our home state. I called 3 days later to see if we could get a copy; they sent an email to the photo dept. but almost 2 weeks later & I still haven't heard anything.
Overall, I highly recommend! This is perfect for a romantic date night! The cruise lasted about 2 hrs. This was a great way to end our trip in Hawaii.

Let me start off by saying I NEVER post reviews...which I need to work on because I am always checking them out before I do/buy things. So, this is my way of giving back. This was my boyfriend & I first trip to Hawaii. We've always wanted to Jet Ski so decided to try this company out. We did the parasail/jet ski combo. I was a little hesitant about this company because of the reviews. There were only 7 on this website, but I found others on other websites that had me a little worried. The ONLY reason I decided to stick with them is because of the Go Pro cameras and I am so glad I did! We had a blast!! There is a little waiting around between activities, but we were on a boat chilling so who's complaining?? :-) I saw many reviews that complained about the jet ski path because it is just a circle, but that didn't bother us either. We had a great time! The jet skis pick up to a pretty high speed! It lasted about 30 min. After jet ski'ing we took another boat out further into the ocean & went parasailing. That was an awesome experience as well! We were in the air for about 5 min. A lot of people's favorite part of parasailing is getting dipped into the water, but we asked that they not do that because we're not big on getting into the ocean lol (sounds crazy right). Because of that they decided to let us go higher in the air lol, so that was pretty cool.
They picked us up at our hotel at 7:50 am, started around 8:30 am and were back at 12:00 pm. In the beginning I was a little worried about what time we would get back because we had a pick up time of 3:30 pm for a luau, but it all worked out.
Overall, I would totally do this again! The people on the boats were cool, friendly, laid back, & very experienced. We did other activities while in Hawaii but this was my boyfriend's favorite :-) I cannot remember how much the pics & dvd cost, I want to say $35 for all of the pics & $65 for the dvd but we purchased both. What a great memory to have!
Mahalo nui loa for visiting H2O Sports Hawaii! Come back soon!

At 41 years old, I tried surfing for the first time! I was really anxious about whether I could do it. The instructor was a foreigner, and right after picking me up, they asked if I could speak English, which made me even more nervous... All the explanations on the beach were in English... I honestly wondered if I would be okay.
But thinking "you learn by doing," I took the board and headed to the ocean. I was told that there were good waves suitable for beginners, and somehow, after about three tries, I managed to stand on the board. The instructor only spoke very simple Japanese, like "Paddle!" and "Are you okay?" But they made an effort to communicate using the Japanese I knew and gestures. Also, perhaps due to the tide, when I got separated from the other tour participants, they quickly came to my aid, and at one point, thinking I might be tired, they asked, "Break?" Even though we couldn't communicate in Japanese, I felt their consideration in their responses.
I didn't request a female instructor, so there were two instructors, one male and one female. (There were five participants in total, including me.) It might be tough for those who have a strong aversion to English. However, the instructors were friendly and fun, and I was able to enjoy surfing itself, so I was very satisfied with the experience.
41歳にして初めてのサーフィン! できるかどうかとても不安でした。
インストラクターの方も外人で、ピックアップ後すぐに英語が話せるかどうかを聞かれ余計不安に・・・
砂浜で説明を受けるのも全部英語・・・本当に大丈夫か?!と正直思いました。
でも「習うより慣れろ」と思いボードを持って海へ。初心者でものれそうないい波がくると教えてもらえて、私は3回ぐらいでなんとかボードの上に立つことができました。
インストラクターの方は本当にかんたんな日本語しか喋れなかったです。「漕いで!」とか「大丈夫?」とか。でも知ってる日本語やジェスチャーを使ってなんとか伝えようと努力してくださいました。また潮の流れのせいか私が他のツアー客の方とはぐれたときなどはすぐ駆けつけてくださったり、途中私が疲れてると思ったのか「休憩(する)?」と声をかけてくださったり、日本語が通じないながらも気遣いが感じられる対応でした。
私は女性を希望しなかったので、インストラクターは男女の2名でした。(ツアー客は私を含め5人でした)
英語に拒絶反応を示す方には厳しいかもしれません。
でもインストラクターの方は気さくで楽しい人たちでしたし、サーフィンそのものも楽しむことができ、私としてはとても満足のいく内容でした。
