All Reviews for Snorkeling Cruises & Tours

From check in to check out, this cruise was absolutely outstanding. The crew took great care of every detail without making you feel micromanaged! You want to swim with turtles?! Sign up! You spend 1.5 hours snorkeling with these amazing creatures. Back on the katamaran, lunch was delicious and plenty of cocktails and soft drinks. Then sails up and sail and it was breathtaking! I really can’t say enough good about this cruise. I would do it everyday if I could! Thank you Capt Josh and your awesome crew for making this the experience of a lifetime! They go above and beyond to ensure it is the BEST experience!

Captain Ryan and his crew definitely do a great job!! You can tell they all love their job and give their customers 150% every time!! We got to swim with turtles and lots of fish and every time we saw Dolphins they would go chasing them to make sure we got a close look every time. The girls at the front desk were also very helpful and when we wanted to buy souvenirs they went out of their way to go upstairs and show us everything they had. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!

We were traveling with a 2-year-old, but my mother watched him on the boat, and my husband and I participated in snorkeling together. It started off a bit gloomy with rain in Waikiki early in the morning, but we arrived after about an hour to beautiful weather! Luckily, we were able to see a sea turtle even before boarding the boat. Shortly after departure, we encountered dolphins and hurried into the water! I felt a bit rushed as we jumped into the sea one after another, and I wondered if it might be a bit hard for snorkeling beginners. However, there are guides available for those who are anxious, so it’s reassuring. I was confident in my snorkeling skills, but I ended up more tired than I expected. We only had one snorkeling session with the dolphins, but on the way back to the boat, they swam close to us again, so we had two opportunities to swim with them, which was satisfying. After returning to the boat and moving to another location, we encountered a large group of dolphins, but since it was a spot with many sharks, we watched from the boat. It was great to experience both! We saw a lot of dolphin jumps too! After that, we went snorkeling with sea turtles. We moved to the turtle point and saw them shortly after swimming, which was also satisfying. There were five of them! I knew we shouldn’t touch them, but they came so close that I was desperately trying to avoid bumping into them. The freshly made hamburgers prepared on the boat were also very delicious! After arriving at the port, we even saw a ray! After getting off the boat, we saw sea turtles again at the spot we visited on the way there. Overall, it was an amazing experience from start to finish! I definitely want to participate again when I go to Hawaii!

2歳の子連れでしたが船上では母に見てもらい、シュノーケルには夫婦での参加です☆朝早くワイキキは雨で憂鬱なスタートでしたが1時間程で到着し、着いたらとてもいい天気でした！運良く船に乗る前からウミガメを見ることができました(^ ^)出発後もすぐにイルカに遭遇して急いで海に入りました！！次々と海にジャンプして入るので少し焦りましたが(^-^;シュノーケル初心者には少しハードなのかな？と思いましたが、不安な方はガイドさんが付いてくれますので安心です☆シュノーケルには慣れていて自身があったのですが、思っていたより疲れました(°_°)イルカとのシュノーケルは一回でしたが、船に戻る途中にもう一度近くを泳いでくれたので一緒に泳ぐ？機会は2回あり満足でした☆船に戻り移動してまたイルカの大群に遭遇しましたが、サメが多い場所とのことで船からのウォッチングになりましたが、どちらも体験できたので良かったです(^ ^)イルカのジャンプもたくさん見れました！その後はウミガメとシュノーケルです。移動してウミガメのポイントへ。少し泳いですぐに見れたのでこれも満足です(^ ^)5匹いました！触ってはいけないのは承知ですが、びっくりするほど近づいてくるので当たらないように逆に遠ざかるのに必死な程でした(^-^;船で作ってくれる出来立てのハンバーガーもとても美味しかったです☆港に着いてからは何と！エイまで見れました!!!!船から降りて、行きに見た場所でまたウミガメも見れました☆もう何から何まで最高な体験になりました！またハワイに行くときには絶対に参加したいです(^ ^)☆

Before going to Hawaii, I was concerned about the weather, but it didn't rain and was cloudy instead. It was low tide, and the sandbar appeared beautifully, which was breathtaking. My friend, who was excited to see the honu (sea turtles), was thrilled to spot them popping their heads out of the water and surfacing for air while snorkeling among the corals. It was really great to see that. The crew on the boat was very friendly and provided explanations in Japanese, making me want to go again.

The food was delicious. We walked through the water to reach the sandbar, but the sandbar itself has corals, so it can be painful to walk on it barefoot. I recommend bringing marine shoes if you have them. You can buy them locally, but we went barefoot. The staff were also walking around barefoot. While the tide was coming in, the boat rocked a bit, so if you're prone to motion sickness, I think taking motion sickness medication would be wise. I usually don't get seasick, and I felt I didn't need any medication. I highly recommend the sandbar.

ハワイ行く前に予約して天候が気になりましたが、雨は降らず曇りでした。
ちょうど引き潮の時でサンドバーが綺麗に出現していて感動でした。一緒に行った友達もホヌを見るのが楽しみで、サンドバーに向かっている途中でも海面から頭を出すところやシュノーケリングでサンゴに隠れている所とか呼吸のため海面に上っていく姿見れてすごく良かったです。船の乗組員も日本語で説明してくれたり超フレンドリーな方ばかりでまた行きたいと思うほどです。
食事も美味しかったです。サンドバーまでは海の中を歩いて行きましたが、サンドバー自体がサンゴのため海面から出ると裸足だと痛いです、マリンシューズ持ってる方は持って行った方がいいかと思います。持っていなくても現地で買えますが私たちは裸足で行きました。スタッフさんも裸足でスタスタ歩いていました。海が満ちてきている途中は船が揺れて、車酔いされる方は酔い止めは必要かと思います。私は普段酔わないですが酔い止めはいらなかった感じでした。サンドバーお薦めです。

This year, Oahu in Hawaii was unusually cold due to abnormal weather, making it difficult to enjoy ocean activities. It's a shame! Although it was very cold, I thoroughly enjoyed snorkeling in the deep sea near the coral reefs and watching the fish. If the weather had been better, it would have been perfect! However, the BBQ hamburgers on the boat were very delicious, and my grandchildren said the same. Next time, I want to experience it on the Big Island.

たまたま、今年のハワイオアフ島は異常気象で寒くて精一杯 海遊びが楽しめない状況でした。残念‼ただ大変寒かったですが、サンゴ礁付近の深い海に行ってのシュノ-ケルは魚ウォチングを十分楽しめました。天気さえ良かったら最高だったのに･･･‼でも船上ＢＢＱハンバ-ガはとっても美味しかった、孫たちも言ってたよ。今度はハワイ島で体験したいと思います。

It was a cold day with bad weather, but I was able to see sea turtles, and I was satisfied with the many fish I saw while snorkeling. However, since the sandbar depends on the tide timing, it's better to focus mainly on snorkeling! The staff was good too.

天候が悪く、寒い一日でしたが、海ガメも見れたし、シュノーケリングでは魚が沢山見れて満足です。ただ、サンドバーは潮位のタイミングもあるので、シュノーケリングメインで考えた方がいいでしょう！スタッフもgood

Playing volleyball in the ocean was so much fun!! Even though we couldn't communicate, we enjoyed ourselves. Also, swimming with the turtles was a great experience.

海の中でやったバレーが楽しすぎた！！言葉通じなくても楽しめました。 あと、亀と泳げた感じも良かったです。

It was cloudy on the day, but the staff member, 19-year-old Joan, was very friendly and took great care of my 12-year-old child, making it a lot of fun. I participated in the afternoon plan, and both the staff and the food were excellent.

当日曇りでしたが、スタッフのジョアン１９歳がとても人懐こくて１２歳の子供の相手をしてくれてとても楽しめました。
　午後のプランで参加しましたが、スタッフも食事も最高でした。

I think it's a tour that is influenced by the tides. It was my first time participating, but I was able to land on the sandbar successfully. Maybe it's because I've been behaving well lately—haha! I was also able to see the honu (sea turtle) properly. When it was time to return to the port, the guide waved goodbye and came to greet us!

We practiced snorkeling in the shallow waters, and the guide stayed with us, constantly checking in to see if we were okay, which was reassuring. The meal we had on the boat was super delicious. I especially loved the chili beans. I definitely want to participate again!

潮の満ち引きで左右されるツアーだと思います。初めての参加でしたが、しっかりサンドバーに上陸出来ました。日頃の行いが良いからかなぁー笑
ホヌちゃんにもしっかり会う事ができました。また、港に蛙時間になったら、武具さんがバイバーイって、ご挨拶に来てくれました！！
浅瀬で、シュノーケリングの練習もするし、一緒に着いてきてくれて、また大丈夫？って、常に声をかけてくれるので安心でした。
船で頂いた食事も、超～美味しかったです。
特にチリビーンズがお気に入りです。
是非、また参加したいでーす。

I would recommend this adventure our photographer was amazing he got a school of dolphins too.There was an octopus right with my husband and the photographer there and turtles.Lots of beautiful fish.

Excellent crew made sure everyone was comfortable and also made sure everyone got to snorkel with the turtles.
Had a great time especially for the price it was a great value

Chartered bus and boat with meals included. They also lend you masks and fins, so you don't have to worry about arranging those yourself. The meals are sufficient considering the location, and the prices are attractive compared to other companies. This tour is one of the few that allows snorkeling near the coral reefs and accepts children. Unfortunately, we weren't blessed with good weather, so I will participate again. Next time, I will dive in without a life jacket from the start!

バスと船のチャーターおまけに食事付き。マスクとフィンも貸してくれますので、自分で手配する煩わしさを考えると言うこと無しでしょう。
食事も場所を考えると充分ですし、価格も他社比較でも魅力的です。
サンゴ礁付近でスノーケリングができて、子供の参加を受け付けてくれるのはこのツアーくらいでは？
残念ながら天候に恵まれなかったので、また参加します。次回は最初からライフジャケット無しで潜りまくります！

Swimming with turtles and sailing with dolphins was amazing! It felt like a great deal for the price. I participated in the morning session, and there were hardly any Japanese people, so it was a deep American tour.

カメと一緒に泳げ、イルカと一緒にセーリング出来て最高でした！
値段の割にかなりお得感があります。
午前中の時間帯に参加したのですが、日本人がほとんどいなくてディープなアメリカンなツアーでした

It was pouring rain on the way there, which was disappointing, but by the time we arrived, the rain had stopped. I felt reassured to see several staff members who spoke fluent Japanese. We rented bicycles from Kailua Adventure. Although the waves were high and we couldn't enjoy snorkeling, we had a great time shopping and cycling. Since we had a long stay, we were able to enjoy a variety of activities.

向かう時は土砂降りで、残念な気持ちでしたが、到着したら雨が上がっていました。スタッフさんに日本語ペラペラな方が数人みえて　安心でした。レンタサイクルもカイルア・アドベンチャーさんでお借りしました。波が高くてシュノーケリングは楽しめなかったけど、ショッピングやサイクリングを満喫しました。滞在時間が長いからいろいろ楽しめますよ

Would definitely recommend this activity to do it was amazing the crew were fantastic

Great staff who made the trip lots of fun. Saw tons of turtles, though not a great variety of other fish - but I was there to see turtles, and so I was happy as can be!
Got a little woozy after being out on the ocean, and they immediately recognized it (without me having to say anything!) and offered me a dab of lavendar oil behind my ears/under my nose that cleared it right up.

Overall a great trip, highly recommend!

We participated as a couple.
The weather on the day was cloudy with occasional rain, which made the scenery disappointing.
The snorkeling visibility was not great due to the lack of sunlight. It was cold for late April with this weather.

The lunch was delicious, and the staff's service was very good.
A sea turtle came right up close, and we were able to observe it closely.

夫婦で参加しました。
当日は曇り～時々雨といったところで、景色は残念なものに。
シュノーケリングも太陽光が無いため視界がイマイチでした。
4月下旬で、この天気だと寒かったです。

ランチは美味しく、スタッフの対応はとても良かったです。
ウミガメがすぐそばまで来て、じっくり見れました。

The rain has stopped, but the wind was strong due to the clouds, and it was cold enough to make me feel like I was freezing. Some participants were wearing down jackets because of the cold. The waves were high from the wind, and the sea water was murky with low visibility. Also, tips are not included in the tour fee, so I intended to give a tip, but the pressure for tips was overwhelming and took away from the experience.

雨は止みましたが、雲で風が強く、寒くて凍えそうでした。
寒くて一部参加者はダウンジャケットを着ていました。
風で波が高く、海の水は濁り、透明度はあまりありませんでした。
それとチップはツアー代金に含まれていないので渡すつもりでしたが、
チップの催促がすごくて興醒めしました。

It was a very good experience tour.

I thought a regular pickup would come, but a really cool, big, and beautiful bus arrived, and everyone got excited.

There were plenty of monitors inside the bus, and the explanations were easy to understand. The female guide not only spoke Japanese but also created a great atmosphere, making it fun.

The tour was enjoyable for all the members. We got to see and swim with dolphins.

The snorkeling afterward was also very good. Since it can be cold, it's definitely better to borrow a wetsuit at the beginning.

とても良い体験ツアーでした。

普通のお迎えが来ると思っていたらとてもカッコいいデカイ、キレイなバスがきてみんなでテンション上がりました。

モニターもバス内にたくさんあり、説明がわかり易かったです。
ガイドの女性も日本語が話せるだけではなくとても空気を作れる方で楽しかったです。

ツアーは、メンバーが全て楽しかったです。
イルカも見れて泳げて

その後のシュノーケルもとてもよかった。
寒いので
最初の段階で必ずウェットは借りたほうがいいです。

On the day of the tour, it unfortunately rained, but I was able to see both sea turtles and manta rays up close! The staff were all friendly, making it a fun tour.

ツアー当日は生憎の雨模様でしたが、ウミガメ・マンタ両方を間近で見ることができました！
スタッフも気さくな方々ばかりで楽しいツアーでした。

Incredible, awesome, different and the crew are OUTSTANDING!
My 2nd time, and I brought along 23 people with me and again it was GREAT. All our first timers LOVED it. It was rough seas from a severe storm the two previous days, which affected seeing the crater on the sea floor, but lots of fish were out to play. Saw quite a few turtles too.
All my guests said it was TERRIFIC and they had a ball!!
The crew are always smiling, helpful and FUN!!!
Thanks again guys!!!

Great snorkelling amongst turtles and gorgeous tropical fish. Terrific sailing experience also, with excellent crew onboard. Drinks and snacks available, bring small amount of cash

Absolutely fantastic experience. The guys that looked after us were fabulous. Would easily do it again.

For someone that has never snorkeled or dove before, this was amazing and makes me want to get my diving certification! It was so easy, the crew was great and I just don't have enough words to describe how awesome it was. We saw squid, turtles and loads of colorful fish! I would do this over and over again!

Thanks Taylor for a great day and super photos and videos!

I participated in the tour on the morning of April 12. The tide was high, and the minimum line was at waist level, so we couldn't see the sandbar. Moreover, the weather was bad and the water temperature was low, causing those who participated in snorkeling to shiver so much that they could hardly eat. It was disappointing that we couldn't fully enjoy the sea, but it was nice that a turtle came close to the boat. The staff also entertained us, and the food was delicious.

４月１２日朝のツアーに参加しました。
潮位が高く、最低ラインは腰の位置で、サンドバーは見れませんでした。
しかも、天候が悪くて水温が低く、シュノーケリングに参加した人たちは、寒さで食事を取る手もガタガタ震えていたほどです。
十分に海を楽しむことができなくて残念でしたが、亀が船の近くまでよってきてくれたので、よかった。
スタッフも楽しませてくれたし、食事も美味しかった。

It was tough with the rain and high waves. We managed to see dolphins, but it seemed like more people didn't get to see them. The staff was very good, so it would have been perfect if the weather had cooperated.
We were supposed to have lunch on the boat, but after the activity, we waited on land for about 30 minutes and received a McDonald's cheeseburger to eat. I was disappointed because I chose this place over a middle school specifically to enjoy lunch.

雨が降ってきたり、波が高かったりして大変でした。自分たちはなんとかイルカは見れましたが、見れない人のほうが多かったようです。スタッフはとても良かったので、天気に恵まれれば最高でした。
船上ランチのはずが、アクティビティ終了後に陸で30分ほど待ち、マックのチーズバーガーを一つもらい食べました。ランチを楽しみに中学ではなく大学を選んだので、がっかりしました。

It was rainy and cold, but when I saw the dolphins, I was so happy that I forgot about the cold. I highly recommend this tour!

雨が降って寒かったですが、イルカが見れた時は寒さも忘れるぐらい嬉しかったです。ぜひオススメのツアーです

On the day of the event, it was cloudy with a north wind blowing, so I rented a free wetsuit. Since it was high tide, the water level in the sandbar area was up to my stomach, which was different from what I had seen in the guidebook, so I was a bit disappointed. Just as we were leaving, the weather finally improved, and at the very end, I was able to see the beautiful emerald green sea and encounter a sea turtle, so I rated it three stars.

参加当日は曇りで北風が吹いており寒かったため、無料のウェットスーツをレンタルしました。ちょうど満潮だったため、サンドバーのエリアも潮位はお腹の辺りまであり、ガイドブックで見たサンドバーとは異なっていたため、少しガッカリしました。帰り際にようやく天気が回復してきて、最後の最後でエメラルドグリーンに輝く綺麗な海が見られたのと、ウミガメに出会えたため、評価は星3つとしました。

My long-awaited first trip to Hawaii! I went in mid-April. The day before was unfortunately rainy, so I was worried about rain on the day of my trip, but fortunately, the weather held up until the end. I was able to see a pod of dolphins, sea turtles swimming along the ocean floor, and schools of small fish, which made for an incredibly moving experience in the crystal-clear waters.

As for advice for those who will be participating, I tend to handle the cold well, but if you are sensitive to cold, be sure to bring a larger towel and a jacket, as it can get chilly, especially with the wind while moving on the boat! Also, since mid-April is the end of the rainy season, I was able to take time off work when things were relatively calm to go to Hawaii. If I have the chance again, I would definitely like to go during the dry season next time.

念願の初ハワイ！
4月中旬に行きました。前日があいにく雨模様だったので、当日雨が降るのが心配でしたが、幸い天気も最後まで崩れる事なく、予定通り？イルカの群れにも海底を泳ぐウミガメにも小さい魚の群れにも会う事ができて透き通るようなきれいな海中もともなって感動の体験でした。
これから参加される方へのアドバイス？ですが、私は寒さには強い方なのですが、寒さに弱い方は、船で移動中は特に風が吹くと寒いので、大きめのタオルとジャケットなど寒さ対策は忘れないように！
あと4月中旬は雨季の終わりという事で、今回も仕事が比較的落ち着いた時にお休みをもらってハワイに行く事ができましたが、もし又機会があれば、今度は是非、乾季に行きたいと思っています。

It felt like experiencing a movie on the same boat as foreigners! I even got to see dolphins! However, the waves were really strong, and the boat rocked a lot, so while I enjoyed it, those who are prone to motion sickness might find it tough!

外国の方とおんなじ船で映画の気分を味わってるようでした！イルカにも会えました！
ただ波がすごく船が大きく揺れるので私は楽しかったですが酔いやすい方はきついかもしれないです！
