All Reviews for Snorkeling Cruises & Tours

This is my third time here. During the snorkeling and swimming around the coral reefs, I was able to see a sea turtle last time, but unfortunately, I couldn't see one this time. However, others said they swam with one. Last time, I brought an underwater camera and when a sea turtle appeared, I panicked and couldn't capture anything. (LOL) This time, I didn't see one.

The hamburger for lunch was delicious, especially while enjoying the view of the horizon and scenery. Yuki, who took care of us, was as lively as ever, which was great. I hope to see her again, but given my age, I might not be able to come back??

Hawaii really is a wonderful place. (It would be even better if the cost of living were lower.)

今回で、３回目になりました。シュノーケル・サンゴ礁周囲遊泳は、前回はウミガメを見れましたが、今回は残念ながら、見ることはできませんでした。でもほかの人は、一緒に泳いだって言ってました。前回に、水中可能カメラを持って潜り、ウミガメが出てきて、焦って取ったので、何も撮れなかったです。（爆）今回は、見れなかった。
ランチのハンバーグも、周りの水平線や景色を見ながら、食べるのも、おいしいです。日本人相手に担当していただいた、ユキさんも、相変わらず元気で、何よりでした。またお会いできるといいのですが、何せ、年が年なんで、いけないかも？？
やっぱりハワイは、よいところですね。（物価が安ければ、なおさら良いですけど）

I didn't know I could get seasick, but these guys came ready with meds and drinks. Super informative and care for your well being. My girlfriend had a blast and she was so excited to see turtles peeking out the waters. Awesome experience and thanks!

I was a bit anxious about participating alone since most people were in pairs, but the crew members were all really nice, and I'm glad I joined. I got to see dolphins and swimming honu (turtles), which really boosted my excitement! I also challenged myself to try stand-up paddleboarding (SUP). It was quite difficult, but I managed to stand up and paddle (^ -^)v.

The cheeseburger on the boat was delicious, and I was really happy to see hula up close (since I’m learning hula). I was on cloud nine (laughs). I want to participate again! (*^o^*)

大体が2人での参加の中、1人参加で不安でしたが、クルーの皆さんがホンマに良い人ばかりで、参加して良かったです。イルカも泳いでるホヌ(亀)も見れてテンションup⤴︎そして、体験してみたかったSUPにも挑戦。結構難しかったですが、何とか立てて漕げました(^-^)v
船上でのチーズバーガーも美味しかったですが、間近でフラを見れて(フラを習ってるので)嬉しかったです。テンションmaxでした(笑)。また参加したいなぁ(*^o^*)

We were the only Japanese people, but the local staff were friendly and made us feel comfortable by saying words they knew in Japanese, like "yoroshiku" and "okonomiyaki"!

日本人は私達だけでしたが、現地スタッフの方が「よろしく」とか「お好み焼き」など、知ってる日本の単語を言いながら、フレンドリーに接してくれ、居心地も良かったです！

I was impressed by the wonderfully beautiful sandbar.
During snorkeling, I was able to see many beautiful fish and it was fun to feed them.
The hamburger for lunch was also very delicious, making it a highly satisfying tour.

素晴らしくきれいなサンドバーで感動しました。
シュノーケリングでは、きれいな魚を沢山見ることができ、餌付けもできて楽しかったです。
昼食のハンバーガーも大変おいしく、満足度の高い良いツアーでした。

There were only my husband and I who were Japanese, and the rest were all foreigners, but the staff supported us with their limited Japanese, which was very reassuring.
However, there was a group that got seasick, so they temporarily returned to the shore.
The catamaran sailing was pleasant and I highly recommend it; the snorkeling equipment was well-stocked, and they checked on us multiple times to see if we were okay.
I would like to use this service again, but I regret not knowing the typical tip amount and think I may have given too little.

日本人は私たち夫婦だけで、他は外国人ばかりでしたがスタッフは片言の日本語でフォローしてくれて、とても安心でした。
ただ船酔いしたグループがいたので、途中一旦もどり下船していました。
カタマランのセーリングは気持ちよくおすすめです、シュノーケル機材も充実していて何度も大丈夫か？と聞いてくれます。
また利用したいです、最後のチップの相場が分からなくて少なかったかなと、後悔しています。

The weather was rainy and quite cold, but I was very excited to finally see a sea turtle. I received a ticket to download photos, but I thought $10 for each photo download was too expensive.

天気は雨が降ったり、気温もかなり寒かったですが、念願のウミガメが見れてとても感激しました。写真をダウンロードできるチケットを頂きましたが、写真のダウンロードが１枚$10は高すぎるなと思いました泣

The weather was wonderful, and I was very moved to see a sandbar that was even more beautiful than I had imagined! The water depth in the shallow areas was only up to my ankles, so it was truly like the sandbars I’ve seen on TV! The staff were lively and enthusiastic, which made me and everyone else laugh throughout the experience, leaving a lasting impression.

I recommend taking a good look with your own eyes, as it’s so beautiful that it’s hard to capture in photos!

Since it’s a plan for a large group (about 20 to 30 people), it’s understandable that those who are not confident in snorkeling or are first-timers may not receive personal guidance at a leisurely pace. We had some experience, so we were able to snorkel without any issues, but since everyone swims freely, there was some variation in whether or not people got to see sea turtles. (On this day, it seemed that about half of the participants were able to see them.) Even if you don’t see sea turtles, you can still enjoy seeing other beautiful fish, so I think it’s definitely enjoyable.

For those who really want to snorkel but lack confidence, I recommend looking into different plans.

お天気にも恵まれ、想像以上に綺麗なサンドバーが見られたのでとても感動しました！
浅い所での水深はくるぶし上くらいまでしかなかったので、まさにテレビで見たようなサンドバーでした！
スタッフの方も元気に盛り上げて下さるので、彼を含め私も終始笑っていた事が印象的に残っています。
写真ではなかなかうまく写りきらない程綺麗だと思うのでしっかり目に焼き付ける事をお勧めします！

人数が多いプランなので仕方ないのですが(2〜30人くらい？)シュノーケリングに自信が無い方や初めての方はなかなかゆっくりと個人的指導は受けられないかと思います。
私たちは経験があったので難なくシュノーケリングはできましたが、全員がそれぞれ自由にシュノーケリングで泳ぐのでウミガメが見られるかどうかにばらつきはありました。
(この日は半数くらいの方は見られたようです。)
ウミガメが見られなくても他の魚等は綺麗に見られるので十分楽しめるとは思います(^^)

シュノーケリングは絶対にしたいけど自信がない方は、違うプラン等を見てみる事をお勧めします。

Wonderful experience ! Me and my friend will never forget it !

It was great that the guide entertained us and explained how the sandbar was formed.

However, when I stood on the sandbar and looked around, I was surprised to find it was just like, "Oh, so this is what it looks like." I felt that it would be better to see it from above, like in a helicopter, but I had expected that, and I wanted to land on the sandbar at least once.

ガイドさんが楽しませてくれて、サンドバーの作られ方とか説明とかも聞けて良かったです。

でもサンドバーはその上に立って見ると、「ふーん、こんな感じなんだ」って言う感じだったのが意外だった。ヘリとかで上から見るのが良いものなのだと感じたけれど、予想はしていたし、一度はサンドバーに上陸してみたかったから

The weather was cloudy, and there was no sunlight, so it didn't turn out to be what I was expecting. Checking the weather is important before going.

天気が曇りで、太陽の光がなかったので、あまり期待していたものにはなりませんでした。
行くときは、天気のチェックが重要です。

The sandbar was a bit different from the photos, with a depth reaching from the thighs to the waist. It seems that the water depth changes depending on the season and weather.

At the sandbar, you can walk around and take photos! Our guide also took some pictures for us!

After that, only those who wanted to went snorkeling. The snorkeling spot is a short walk from the sandbar, but I was surprised by how suddenly the water got deep (laughs). Unfortunately, we didn't see any turtles while snorkeling.

After snorkeling, we had lunch, which was very delicious! The meat, in particular, was exquisite!

During lunch, a turtle came close to the boat, and we were able to see it up close! There were also many pufferfish around!

Finally, we got to do some stand-up paddleboarding (SUP), and it was a lot of fun. Thank you!

サンドバーは写真とは少し違い、太もも～腰丈くらいまでの深さがありました。季節や天気によって水深が変わるようです
サンドバーでは歩いて写真など撮れます！ガイドさんにも撮っていただきました！
その後、希望者のみシュノーケルをします。シュノーケルスポットは、サンドバーから歩いていくのですが、いきなり水深が深くなりびっくりしました(笑)シュノーケルでは亀さんは見れませんでした
シュノーケル後、ランチとなりますが、とても美味しかったです！特にお肉、絶品でした！
ランチ中に、亀さんが船の近くに来てくれて、間近で見れました！フグさんもたくさん居ました！
最後にSUPもできて、とても楽しめました、ありがとうございます！

The tour content is excellent. I tried three times and was able to swim with dolphins each time. I also swam with three honu (sea turtles). They are so large that even big people can easily ride them. This is the biggest honu I've ever seen. Unfortunately, the photos are a downside. As expected, the announcement said that a professional photographer would take everyone's pictures, so you don't need to take photos yourself. At the end, they mentioned that they would email everyone's photos for $60. Since we didn't take many photos ourselves, we ended up with hardly any commemorative pictures. I wish they had mentioned the sales from the beginning.

ツアーの内容は最高です。
３回トライして３回ともイルカと泳げました。 ホヌも三匹と泳げました。とにかくデカイ人が全然乗っても大丈夫なくらいのデカさです。こんなデカイホヌは初めて。残念なのは写真です。結果やはりそうか、と言う内容ですが最初にプロのカメラマンがみんなの写真を撮っていきますから、皆さんは写真撮らなくてもいいですよと言うアナウンス。最後に皆さんの写真を60ドルでデータメールしますとの事。自分たちであまり写真撮らなかったから、記念の写真がほとんどない始末。最初から販売ならそう言って欲しい。

We thought that as this tour was so cheap it would be substandard. Wrong!!
This tour was exactly what we paid for. To snorkel with the green sea turtles and that's what we did. We were able to take our own food and drinks onboarding (the paperwork said there would be ice and cooler bags, but that wasnt the case) which didnt bother us too much. Brewster and Max made sure we saw and swam with the turtles and had plenty of opportunities for photos. After pur snorkeling, they took us for a sail in the catamaran for 2p minutes before taking us back to sure. It was a fabulous day.

This was my second time participating. Both times, the water level was about knee-high, but I was aware of that since I checked the tide information on this page from VELTRA. My husband was seriously playing volleyball at the sandbar, haha. Snorkeling was a battle against the fear of entering the ocean without being able to touch the bottom after turning 50, but once I saw the beauty underwater, I truly understood the high ratings in the reviews. People over 50 (and even older) can enjoy this too!

2度目の参加でした。
2回とも膝上くらいの水位でしたが、それはきちんと潮の満ち引き情報をVELTRAさんのこのページで確認していたので、承知の上でした。
夫はサンドバーでバレーボールをガチでやっていました笑
シュノーケリングは、50を過ぎて足がつかない海に入る恐怖との戦いでしたが、いざ海の中を見ると感動的な美しさで、レビューの高さを実感しました。
50オーバーの人も（いやもっと上の人もいました）楽しめますよ！

The weather was great, and the staff were amazing. The participants were all Japanese and seemed a bit reserved, but they really got into the spirit! The water was very clear, and it was a miraculous day where I got to see sea turtles, dolphins, and even seals! The scenery I saw that day is still etched in my mind; it was such a wonderful memory!

お天気も良く、スタッフの皆さんも最高でした。参加者は日本人ばかりで、大人しい様子でしたが、盛り上げてくださりました！
透明度も高く、ウミガメにもイルカにも、そしてアザラシにも会えるという奇跡の日！！
その日に見た景色は
今でも脳裏に焼きついて離れないほど
素敵な思い出です！

Cheiko was very patient with our beginner family of 2 adults and 2 young kids
We had a great time and she especially took care of my wife who is terrified of the water
I highly recommend this tour for all those who have never done snorkelling before- it’s very safe
Something you should never miss out

The crew was really attentive to the guests, and I thought it was impressive how they managed everything on the ship despite the challenges.

I couldn't see any sea turtles, so I definitely want to see them next time I come.

クルーの皆さんがすごくお客さんの事を見ていて、船の上で大変なのにすごいなと思って見ていました。

ウミガメが見れなかったので、次来た時は是非見たいです。

We thoroughly enjoyed our time on the snorkel catamaran. The boat crew was not only incredibly informative on use of equipment, but ensured first time
Snorkelers like ourselves had adequate support. They were also pretty comical as well! Seeing the sea turtles was awesome! One crew member even dove down to to the reef to retrieve my dropped cell phone! I had so many priceless photos and memories from my Dad’s funeral on the phone, that I would not have been able to replace them. Thank you for the incredible experience.

You should absolutely use this service!!! Amazing!!

Great crew, fantastic weather, awesome marine life all and all fantastic trip

There's no need to worry about seasickness! Since we're in the bay, it doesn't rock at all.

The sandbar was cloudy at first, but it cleared up along the way and was absolutely beautiful.

After that, we were able to see several sea turtles during the turtle watching!

Snorkeling was also no problem for beginners! (You can practice at the sandbar.)

The hamburgers for lunch are delicious, so I highly recommend them!

船酔いの心配はありません！
湾の中なので全然揺れません。

サンドバーは曇りでしたが途中で晴れてめっちゃきれいでした。

そのあと、ウミガメウォッチでは数匹見ることができました！

シュノーケリングも初心者でも問題なくでしました！
（サンドバーで練習ができます）

お昼のハンバーガーも美味しいのでおすすめです！

The lecture is given in Japanese at the beginning, so there are no issues with understanding how to do it.

You can't really move the scooter by yourself, but you can see the fish up close!

I was able to catch a glimpse of a sea turtle!

However, while the scooter part is fine, you need to wait on the boat for about an hour, which can make you quite seasick, haha.

If your turn for the scooter is later, I think the seasickness will go away by then.

Since there is air around your head, you can dive without stress, which is a new sensation.

日本語で最初にレクチャーしてくれるのでやり方は問題ないです。

スクーターはあまり自分で動かせませんが、魚たちを間近で見ることができます！

ウミガメをちらっとみれました！

ただ、スクーター中はいいのですが、船の上で1時間くらい待つ必要があるのでだいぶ酔います笑

スクーターの順番が後ならそこで酔いはなくなると思います。

頭の周りが空気なので、ストレスなくダイビングできるので新感覚です。

This is a must do adventure, and well worth the price. I was impressed and pleasantly surprised at the 1-to-1 ratio of divers to BOBs in the water. They really make sure everyone is comfortable in the BOBs and are doing okay throughout the dive. The 1 hour of free time is basically during the time others are in the BOBs. They provide snorkeling equipment if you want to hop in the water during that time. We had a gray and windy day, so it was quite cool on the boat during the off time. So if your weather is not the best, consider bringing a windbreaker.

There was more water than I expected, but it was a very enjoyable experience as I got to see many fish and turtles while snorkeling. I was able to create wonderful memories with my family, thank you very much.

思っていたより水があったのですが、シュノーケリングでたくさんの魚や亀が見れてとても楽しい体験でした。
家族で楽しい思い出を作る事が出来ました、ありがとうございました。

We were lucky to arrive at Sandbar just as the tide was going out, and we were able to see some incredibly beautiful scenery. While snorkeling, we spotted fish and swimming sea turtles! The water was a bit murky. Even for those who can't swim, the regular sea turtles were swimming close to the boat, so we were able to see them a lot. A few things to keep in mind: it can be cold, so bring a jacket, bring a waterproof case for your smartphone or camera, and take measures against seasickness. I got a little nauseous on the bus ride there, so I bought a seasickness band on the boat.

サンドバーは運良くほぼ潮が引いた時に来れて、とても美しい景色を見ることができました。シュノーケリングでは魚や泳ぐウミガメが見れました！海は少し濁っていました。泳げない方でも、常連のウミガメが船の近くで泳いでくれてたくさん見ることができていました。注意点としては寒いので上着を持参、スマホやカメラの防水ケース持参、酔い止め対策をすることです。私は行きのバスで少し酔ってしまったので、船上で酔い止めバンド購入しました。

After our wedding ceremony in Hawaii, we participated with ten family members. I originally joined on the recommendation of an acquaintance, but it was even more enjoyable than I expected! Our guide was Japanese and very entertaining, and we thoroughly enjoyed the scenery as well as snorkeling. We got to see sea turtles up close!

I didn't have high expectations for the BBQ on the boat, but it was actually quite delicious! There was an all-you-can-eat selection of meat, fruit, and rice, and the brownie for dessert was also tasty.

It was a great time for everyone, from their 20s to 60s. Thank you very much!

ハワイ挙式の後、両家10名で参加しました。
元々知り合いの勧めで参加したのですが、期待以上に楽しめました！
ガイドさんも日本の方で面白く、景色はもちろんシュノーケリングも存分に楽しめました。ウミガメもものすごく近くで見れました！
また、船の上でのBBQはあまり期待していなかったのですが普通に美味しかったです！お肉もフルーツもご飯も食べ放題で、デザートのブラウニーも美味しかったです。
20〜60代みんなが楽しめる時間になりました。
本当にありがとうございました！

This time, we participated as a family of four with two children. I thought we might not be able to do many activities since my 3-year-and-10-month-old son is really mischievous and my 1-year-and-5-month-old daughter has just started walking, so I couldn't take my eyes off them. However, the staff were really wonderful with the kids and played with them, which encouraged other tour guests to join in as well. Thanks to that, my husband and I were able to take turns snorkeling, and we even encountered a sea turtle!

We played in the sea a bit too much, so we couldn't enjoy the BBQ as leisurely as we would have liked, but it was really delicious!

If I had to mention something, it would be that the weather was cloudy and a bit chilly. If the weather had been better, it would have been even more amazing!

My son wants to see Kaz again, who played so well with him, so if we have the chance, we would definitely like to participate again!

今回2人の子連れで、家族4人での参加でした。
3歳10ヶ月の息子が本当にやんちゃ盛りな上に1歳5ヶ月の妹が歩き始めて動くようになったので、目が離せく、アクティビティはあまり出来ないかもなぁ…と思っていましたが、スタッフの方々が子供を本当に可愛がってくれて、遊んでくれたので、その流れで他のツアー客の方々も一緒に遊んでくれました☆
お陰で主人と交代でシュノーケリングも出来ましたし、海亀とも遭遇出来ました☆
海で遊びすぎて、BBQはあまりゆっくり食べられませんでしたが、とっても美味しかったです！！

しいて言うなら、お天気が曇っていて少し寒かった事かな！
天気が良ければもっと最高でした！

息子が、1番仲良く遊んでくれたカズさんにまた会いたいそうなので、機会があったらまた是非参加したいです！！

The sea was very beautiful. It was a great memory to see the rare seals. Having a Japanese guide was the most reassuring part. If you're looking for snorkeling, I recommend this place!

海はとても綺麗でした。貴重なアザラシが見れたのは良い思い出です。日本人ガイドだったのが1番安心しました。シュノーケリングを探してる方はこちらがオススメです！

The Captain and her crew were beyond friendly! The whole experience was amazing, from the cruise to the sand bar, the food, the turtle watching and the snorkeling. Absolutely amazing. Would highly recommend this experience!
