We’ve been on snorkeling cruises in the past (some out of Waianae Boat Harbor) but never with this company. We visit Hawaii often (my wife was born and raised in the islands) we view island activities with a critical eye. This was a super dolphin/snorkel trip. The cruise is on a smaller boat, which has the advantage of offering a smaller group of people, a more intimate experience, and a little more adventurous ride - I like all three. Staff on these boats are there to 1. Offer safety 2. Offer service and 3. Offer fun and adventure. The Dolphin’s and You staff were excellent on all counts. I’ve seen the “fun” part on other boats get a little smarmy, but the staff on this boat really did a great job of encouraging people to participate and enjoy themselves without being overly “slick” or pushy. They also had some talented people who shared music I found enjoyable.
I take my own pictures with underwater stills and video. The videographer/photographer on the trip did a super job and was kind enough to show me some great shots while still attending to everyone on board. I wish I could say that about all the snorkeling/watching tours we’ve been on.
Overall I’d say this was a really good trip - for anyone - experienced or novice. Tips: If you have motion sickness, or aren’t sure if you have motion sickness, take dramamine. Do it. Take sunscreen - Use it. If you’re not familiar with photography (above and below water) leave your gear at home. Experience the trip and allow the professional the ship provides offer you some of the best shots you’ll ever see - most likely better images than you can take yourself. Fooling with gear and worrying about taking pictures, will detract from the memories you can make just being in the water and seeing the amazing things the crew will show you.
There are lifetime memories you can take away from a half-day trip like this. It might *seem* pricey to some, but I assure you that it is worth every cent and you’ll be ready for more.

We participated as a couple. After arriving in Hawaii, we struggled with the time difference and contacted them to see if we could change our schedule from morning to afternoon. Fortunately, we were able to move it to the following afternoon. They were flexible and accommodating, which we greatly appreciated.
Upon meeting Chieko, whose reliable yet gentle demeanor put us at ease, we were able to express our concerns right away, and she was very considerate throughout. After joining Dan and a family from Seattle, we received excellent support and were able to enjoy snorkeling with peace of mind.
We were thrilled to see a honu and even downloaded photos from Facebook. I took motion sickness medication, but my husband ended up feeling seasick, and I apologize for any concern that caused. However, we had a wonderful time! Thank you!
夫婦で参加しました。
ハワイ到着後、時差に身体がなじめず、午前から午後へ変更できればと連絡したところ、翌日の午後へ変更いただくことができました。
ちょうど空きがあったとのことでしたが、柔軟に対応いただき、大変ありがたかったです。
チエコさんの頼もしくも優しい雰囲気に、お会いしてすぐ心配な点をお伝えすることができ、いろいろとお気遣いいただきました。

Dear TAKA, thank you for joining the tour with Blue Hawaii Divers. From the moment we first met, I noticed that your husband seemed unwell, so I was wondering if you would be able to go snorkeling. Please do join us again next time when you are both feeling better. We are always here to welcome you. Thank you very much. Mahalo!!

This adventure was more than what we expected. We first boarded a boat that took us out to the submarine. We entered a small port hatch that lowered us into a surprisingly large submarine that held over 63 individuals. We dove to a depth of over 112 feet and saw all manor of marine life around sunken ships and airplanes. We experienced fish and sea turtles nestled among the wreckage along with eels along the coral. To say this was a unique experience was an understatement. How often do you get to go 100+ feet under water and see marine life in their natural inhabitant?

This was the BEST experience I’ve had. I feel the reason my husband and I could enjoy this experience was down to the crew. Safety was an absolute given, with our life vests fitted before we left the harbour. We were out at ease with humorous banter and a super friendly atmosphere.
I like this event so much...I went back for a second time.

The sandbar was not the completely sandy beach I imagined, but rather a beautiful shallow area that reaches about the knees of an adult. Even children could stand easily, and since there were no waves, they were able to practice swimming and seemed to be having a lot of fun. Tours that include lunch on the boat often don't offer great meals, but this tour provided freshly grilled hamburgers. There are also paid options for wine and beer, making it a tour that both adults and children can enjoy. I would love to repeat this experience next time.
サンドバーは想像とは違って完全な砂浜ではなく大人の膝下くらいの美しい浅瀬が広がる場所でした。子供でも足がつくうえに波がないので泳ぎの練習ができとても楽しそうにしていました。船上での昼食付きのツアーは大した食事がでない事が多いですがこちらのツアーでは焼きたてのハンバーガーが食べられます。有料ですがワインやビールもあり大人も子供も楽しめるツアーだと思います。また次回リピートしたいです。

There were young Japanese women and men in the same group, and I wondered if they even drive in Japan because they were driving so slowly! They could only go about 4 to 5 kilometers per hour. During the briefing, they said that those who couldn't drive should refrain from participating! Right after we started, another staff member came and began leading the slow couple in front of us. The people following us sped off with other staff. When we tried to keep up, we were stopped because we were treated the same as the other Japanese participants. However, the speed never increased. It felt like we were only going as fast as walking. We didn't experience the joy of driving a four-wheeler at all. I was looking forward to it, but it was the worst. I want my money back.

It was drizzling, but the shuttle bus arrived on time and took us to the departure point. After waiting for about 30 minutes at the port, we set off with two crew members and four fellow passengers.
The boat accelerates and turns at a high speed, shaking like an amusement park ride!
Once we took off, the feeling of floating and the refreshing breeze were delightful, and we had a great view of Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head. When returning to the boat, I was surprised by the crew as I was momentarily dropped into the water. (laughs)
It was a highlight of my trip to Hawaii and I had a lot of fun!
Also, after returning to the port, you can purchase an SD card with about 60 images taken by the crew for $30.

First, we boarded a boat from the dock near Hilton Hawaiian Village and headed offshore, where the views from the boat were excellent. There was a shop on board, so we didn't get bored. At the offshore point, we could see a submarine surfacing. The weather was calm on the day of our participation, and the view from inside the submarine was great. Thanks to our guide, who was fluent in Japanese, we had a wonderful time. While it might not be enough for those who are serious about scuba diving, I think it's a tour that can be enjoyed by everyone else.

We swam with dolphins at the two locations they guided us to, and both times we encountered dolphins, which was an emotional and thrilling moment. We also saw sea turtles several times at the surface.

My daughters and I had a great time The tour bus picked us up on time . The tour guide /driver provided us a lot of information and history about the island, restaurants and all important sites we drive by . He was was funny too . He answered every ones questions.He allowed us enough time for breaks and photos. We had an amazing time at the Waterfall, my youngest had a foot surgery last year and she can’t walk too fast , we where having a great time swimming in the waterfall pool that we lost track of time . We had 15 minutes to make back to the bus , knowing my youngest can’t walk too fast or run my oldest said “ I’ll have him wait mom “ and took off running ( she runs track and cross country) . We had to be back by 12pm , we ( my youngest and I) made by 12:05 , My oldest daughter was happy the driver waited for us , we all were :). Then we drove to the snorkeling site , the tide was low and it was too rocky, I have never snorkel and I’m not a great swimmer, so we walked up to do some shopping and had a fresh coconut. We made our last stop at Haleiwa, the driver recommended some restaurants . The girls and I had a wonderful time , we ate and did some shopping. He was on time to pick us up . On the way back to the hotel we were tired and feel asleep. Overall we had a great time, we visited a few places and I didn’t have to drive through all that traffic I feel bad I forgot the drivers name , He was knowledgeable and I felt safe with him behind the wheel while the girls and I enjoy the activities and sites . The only reason I didn’t rate outstanding is because the snorkeling was not fun , the waves were too strong and the tide was too low , too rocky, but no one can really control that :)

Dear Tomoyuki, thank you for joining the Blue Hawaii Divers tour. The sea conditions were good that day, and we ventured out from the Keyhole. We saw a school of giant trevally swimming in circles on the heart-shaped sandy bottom, and later encountered turtles at two spots. Lucky for us, we also spotted two manta rays! While I've often seen manta rays during boat diving, this was my first time seeing them while snorkeling at Hanauma Bay. You were truly a fortunate customer.
Please do consider joining our tour again when you visit Hawaii. We are always here to welcome you back. Thank you very much. Mahalo!!
ともゆき様、この度はブルーハワイダイバースのツアーにお越しいただき、ありがとうございます。この日は海の状態も良く、キーホールから沖へ出てみました。ハート型の砂地でギンガメアジの群れ(グルグル回って泳いでました)を見て、その後は2カ所で亀に遭遇し、ラッキーなことにマダラトビエイが2匹泳いでいるのに出会えました!!ボートダイビングでしたらマダラトビエイはよく見てましたが,ハナウマ湾でシュノーケリングで見れたのは私も初めてでしたよ。本当に幸運なお客様でした。
是非またハワイにお越しの際には私達のツアーにリピートしてくださいね。いつでもお待ちしております。
本当にありがとうございました。Mahalo!!

The driver who picked us up spoke in English, but occasionally threw in jokes like a Japanese comedian, which made me happy as it showed he wanted to entertain us! When we arrived at the port and got out of the car, he said, "I'll help the girls!" and escorted us. He didn't do the same for the young boy who got out after us (laughs).
As the driver mentioned, "Today, it's Captain ◯◯'s boat, you guys are lucky!" the captain turned out to be incredibly reliable. The assistant was also fun and entertaining.
On the boat, club music was playing, creating a vibe that forced us to get hyped up. The waves were high, and it was really bumpy. We were instructed in English to "Take off your shoes! Also take off your jackets!" and we were fitted with parasailing gear one by one.
The order of who would fly was completely up to the assistant. We all waited for him to say "Next!" with a big smile. Since we were last, we could see how it went for the people before us, but I imagine it must have been really scary for the first ones.
The assistant asked if we wanted him to take pictures. After returning to land, he showed us the photos he took, so we could decide whether to buy them or not.
The takeoff was gentler than I expected, and we quickly soared into the sky. The view was amazing, and it wasn't scary at all. It felt great! Before returning to the boat, we landed in the water. The first person only got wet up to their calves, but since we were last, we went in up to our chests. The seawater was salty when it got in my mouth.
I thought the return to the boat would be a rough landing, but it was a gentle and soft touch down. When we looked at the photos afterward, we were all smiling broadly.
The crew was fantastic. It was a wonderful memory.
送迎の運転手さんは、英語で話してましたがときどき日本の芸人さんのギャグをかましてきて、楽しませよう!という気持ちが伝わってきて嬉しかった。
港に着いて、車から降りるとき「女の子だけ手を貸すから!」って言ってエスコートしてくれました。私たちのあとに降りた若い男の子にはしてなかった(笑)
運転手さんが「今日はキャプテン◯◯(聞き取れなかった)の船だよ、君たち運がいいよ!」と言ってたとおり、キャプテンめちゃめちゃ頼りになる。アシスタントのお兄ちゃんもノリよくて面白い。
船ではクラブ系の音楽がかかり、強制的にテンション上げてく感じ。波が高くて超揺れる。
英語で「靴脱いで!上着も脱いで!」との指示。順番にパラセーリング用の装備を付けていってくれます。
飛ぶ順番は完全にアシスタントのお兄ちゃん任せ。「Next!」といい笑顔で言われるのをみんなで待ちます。
私たちは最後だったので、前の人を見てこんな感じか〜と分かりましたが、たぶん先発の人はメチャメチャ怖いだろうな〜。
お兄ちゃんが写真撮るか?と聞いてくれます。陸に戻ってから、撮った写真を見せてくれるのでそれから買うかどうか判断してOK。
思っていたより優しい離陸、あっという間に上空へ。景色最高。ぜんぜん怖くない。気持ちいい!
船に戻る前に着水してくれます。最初の人はふくらはぎまでくらいだったのに、私たちは最後だったからか胸あたりまでいきました。海水が口に入ってしょっぱい。
船に帰ってくる時も、ドスン!って感じかと思ってたらフンワリと優しい着地。
帰ってきてから写真見たら全部超笑顔。
最高のクルー達でした。いい思い出です。
