All Reviews for Snorkeling Cruises & Tours

Great time, my husband and I throughly enjoyed ourselves and would recommended this to anyone, at any age, as well as at any health issues, we both felt extremely safe and you did not need to know how to swim.

My husband is not in the best of health and it was a great experience on his bucket list.

The pick up was right on time and was greeted by a very knowledable and talented host who gave us information about the island and the adventure ahead of us. He also sang us songs and got to know each of us. The first part of the adventure was to board 2 katamarans and sail to the sandbar. The crew was also very knowledgeable and made sure we all knew what to do. They spoke many languages so everyone was cut in. The sandbar is amazing where you wade in waste deep water and enjoy the company of other travelers or play water volleyball. After that we boarded the boat and went to see the green sea turtles which we all over the area while the crew prepared lunch. The lunch was a grilled burger which was vert flavorful and juicy. All the fixings were available along with baked beans, potato salad etc. soft drinks, ice tea, hot tea and coffee were free and beer and wine was available for purchase. After lunch we sailed to the reef where we readied for snorkeling. All equipment was available from masks, snorkels, fins and life jackets. The crew kept an eagle eye on all of us to ensure our safety. The snorkeling was wonderful with a nice display of fish and some turtles who didn’t mind us being there. My wife came face to face with a turtle and went above water for air the went back under with the turtle. This was one of the best adventures we’ve had and can be enjoyed by all ages. We had young people and I am 66 years so all ages can enjoy. The crew saw to our every need from helping us to put equipment on to helping the first times who seemed to enjoy it the most. After that we headed back to shore, the bus and our ride home. I can’t say anything but good about this adventure and will do it again next year when we return. The driver, the host and the crew made this a very perfect day for us❤️❤️❤️

We searched for dolphins from the boat and when we found them, we jumped into the sea. There were times when I could only see them at the surface because they were swimming slowly, but the staff prioritized those who hadn't seen them yet and let us into the water, so I was able to see them safely. The sea was beautiful, and I was also able to see sea turtles from the boat, making it a very satisfying tour!

船からイルカを探し、イルカを見つけては海の中へ。泳ぐのが遅くて水面でしかみれなかったときもありましたが、係りの方が見れてない人優先で海に入れてくれたので無事に見ることができました。
海がキレイだったので船の上からはウミガメも見ることができとても満足なツアーでした！

This is my third time participating in this tour. I have joined tours from other companies, but the Angel's Sea from All Hawaii Cruise is the most fun. This is what an American hamburger is all about! Thanks to the fun staff, my excitement starts from the welcome bus, and the lunch hamburger is incredibly delicious!

このツアー参加は3度目です。他社のツアーにも参加したことがありますが、オールハワイクルーズの天使の海が一番楽しいです。これぞアメリカンハンバーガーですね！楽しいスタッフの方のおかげで、お迎えのバス内からテンション上がりますし、なんてったってランチのハンバーガーがピカ一美味い！

This is my second time participating. Last time, I only swam a little because it was my first time snorkeling, but this time I swam around the coral reef. As a result, I was able to swim with sea turtles. I wanted to be taken to the Dragon Palace, but instead of the angelic sea, I felt like I was heading to the real paradise. (Considering my age...) For lunch, the beautiful young captain grilled hamburgers, which were very delicious. Playing volleyball at the sandbar was also fun. Next time, if I have the opportunity, I would like to take photos with the sea turtles again.

今回で、2回目の参加です。
前回はシュノーケリングは、初めてなので少ししか泳ぎませんでしたが、今回は２回目なので、サンゴ礁近の周りを泳ぎました。その結果、海亀と一緒に泳ぐことができました。このまま竜宮城へ連れて行ってもらいたかったのですが、天使の海でなく、本当の天国のへ海に逝ってしまいそうでした。（年齢もそれなりですが・・・）昼食は、美人の若い船長自らの、焼いたハンバーガーでとてもおいしかったです。サンドバーでの、バレーボールも楽しかったです。
次回、機会があったらまた、海亀と一緒に写真を撮りたいです。

The guide was great, and the sandbar was waist-deep, which made me wonder how planning a sandbar visit during this time of year would be. Unfortunately, I could only see the sea turtles from a distance, which was really disappointing. However, the hamburger for lunch was delicious. On the other hand, the drinks were a letdown.

調子のいいガイドさんとサンドバーが腰まで浸かりこの時期にサンドバーを計画するのはどうなのかな？と思いました。また、ウミガメも遠くからしか見えず全く残念。ただ、ランチのハンバーガーは美味しかった。でも、飲み物は残念でした。

My husband and I really enjoyed this outing. The crew was laid back and friendly. We definitely saw turtles. They had snacks on board and alcohol for purchase. Easily my favorite afternoon in Waikiki. Thank you!

I couldn't be active due to seasickness, but when I started to feel a little better, I swam with dolphins! It was simply the best! The sight of so many dolphins swimming was truly breathtaking! It's something I've only seen on TV. Additionally, there were many sea turtles that day! It's a regret that I couldn't swim with the sea turtles because my seasickness worsened. The staff were friendly and fun, making it an enjoyable experience, aside from the seasickness. Watching the sunrise at the beginning of the tour was also amazing! I would love to join this tour again!

船酔いでアクティブにできなかったですが、船酔いの具合がちょっと調子が良くなった時にイルカと泳ぎました！
最高の一言です！！
たくさんのイルカが泳いでる姿はまさに圧巻！
テレビでしか見た事ない光景です。
それにこの日はウミガメさん達もたくさんいました！
船酔い悪化してウミガメさんと泳ぐ事ができなかったのが心残りです。
スタッフさん達も気さくで楽しい方々で満喫できました。船酔い以外は。笑
ツアー序盤の朝日を見るのも最高でした！
また参加したいツアーです！

I was able to see dolphins and sea turtles up close! It was so moving!! The flow of the tour is generally set, but it's not strict, so they were flexible enough to allow us to dive twice to see the dolphins, and even prioritized seeing the sea turtles over paddle boarding when time was running out. I was very satisfied! Also, the people on the boat were very friendly, and we were able to enjoy ourselves while heading to our destination. However, the boat sways a lot, so motion sickness medication is a must!!

イルカもウミガメもとても近くで見ることが出来ました！
感動！！
ツアーの流れは大まかには決まっていますが、絶対ではないので、イルカを見るために2回潜ることが出来るようにしていただけたり、時間がなくなってもウミガメを見ることを優先して、パドルバードはしないなど、臨機応変に対応していただけるので、とても満足しました！
また、船に乗っている方達もとても気さくで、乗っている間も楽しみながら目的地まで行く事ができました。
ただ、船がとても揺れるので酔い止めは必需品です！！

Thank you for taking care of us on the 11:00 AM departure course on November 1st. The thorough safety checks and explanations beforehand made us feel secure and allowed us to enjoy ourselves. Although I'm not great at understanding English, the repeated explanations in both English and Japanese helped me understand well, and I feel like I learned something in English too, haha.

Traveling by boat takes some time, but during that time, the staff entertained us by singing with a ukulele and dancing to the music, which was very fulfilling. We were also blessed with good weather, and the staff, both men and women, were wonderful people. It was truly the best experience. Thank you! ☆

11/1の11時出港コースでお世話になりました。
安全確認など事前の説明が丁寧で安心して楽しめました。
私は英語の聞き取りも得意ではありませんが、英語の説明と日本語の説明を繰り返してもらえるので、
十分理解できますし、英語の勉強にもなった気がします笑
船での移動はある程度時間がかかりますが、その間、スタッフの皆さんがウクレレで歌を歌ったり、音楽に合わせてダンスを踊ったりと、とても充実していました。
天候にも恵まれましたし、スタッフの皆さんも男性女性ともに素敵な人達で、本当に最高でした。
ありがとうございました☆

So much fun! Would highly recommend this to both inexperienced and experienced snorkelers. Dan and Chieko knew the reef well and guided us to spots where we were gaurenteed to see the fish and sea turtles. Dan also takes pictures with his GoPro so you don't have to worry about bringing your own camera. I would do it again in a heartbeat!

My friend couldn't make it for personal reasons, so I participated alone! I was the only one attending solo; everyone else was with friends, couples, or spouses, which made me a bit anxious at first. However, once I got on the boat, I became engrossed in searching for dolphins, and when I was snorkeling, I focused on swimming, so it was fine! I also got to see hula dancing and enjoyed a delicious hamburger, which left me satisfied. Since I couldn't swim with the dolphins or turtles, I received a half-price ticket for the next time, so I definitely want to participate again!

友人が訳あってこれなくなり
1人で参加させていただきました！
1人での参加は私だけで他は友人どうし、カップル、夫婦などで
最初は不安でした。
けどいざ船に乗ればイルカ探しに夢中になりますし
シュノーケルしている時は泳ぎに集中するので
大丈夫でした！
フラダンスも見れて美味しいハンバーガーを食べて
満足でした。
イルカ、亀と泳ぐことができなかったので
次回の半額券も頂いたのでまた参加したいです！

I was able to see sea turtles. I was told by the foreign staff that I needed to be able to swim breaststroke, but the Japanese staff provided a float, allowing me to enjoy myself. The sea was somewhat murky, so I would recommend other beaches for those who really want to see clear water.

ウミガメを見ることができました。
平泳ぎが出来ないとダメと外人スタッフから
言われましたが、日本人スタッフがフロートを
出してくれて楽しむことができました。
海は多少濁っていましたので本当に透明な海を
見たい人は他のビーチをお勧めします。

I participated in a monitor tour!

Since I was staying at Hilton Village, the pickup was at 5:30 AM from the bus stop at Ilikai Hotel! I was a bit anxious because it was dark outside for such an early gathering, but there were many people at the meeting point, so I didn't need to worry. We took an hour-long bus ride to the location where the boat was. During that time, Julie shared a lot of information about Hawaii to keep us entertained! From dolphin ecology to the history of Oahu and recommended spots... it was definitely worth listening to! Julie was very passionate about her work, and it was clear she wanted us to have a great time. Even though it was our first meeting, she welcomed us warmly like a friend, which made it easy to feel comfortable.

The ocean in October is said to be very cold, and I initially planned not to rent a wetsuit, but it was the right decision to take Julie's recommendation! The ocean in October is really cold!! And within just five minutes of the boat ride, we encountered a pod of dolphins…!! I never expected to meet them so quickly! I hurriedly jumped in, and while swimming with the unfamiliar fins, I heard the signal, "Look down!!" When I looked down, there were so many dolphins!! The dolphins swimming right below me came so close that I could almost reach out and touch them! I never thought I would see them up close like this, but I truly experienced what it feels like to swim with dolphins (*^^*).

I also enjoyed canoeing and stand-up paddleboarding without feeling rushed. The boat staff and the photographer were all very friendly!! They took lots of photos for us (*^^*). There are many dolphin tours available, but if you want to spend a fun day with everyone as a group, I definitely recommend enrolling in Dolphin University!

モニターツアーで参加させて頂きました！

ヒルトンビレッジに宿泊だったのでイリカイホテルのバス停朝5時半のピックアップでした！
朝早くの集合で外は真っ暗で不安でしたが、集合場所には沢山の人が集まっていてそんな心配は要りませんでした。
バスに乗ってから1時間かけてボートがある場所まで移動します。その間退屈しないようにジュリさんが沢山ハワイについてお話してくださいました！イルカの生態話やオアフ島の歴史にお勧めのスポットまで…この話だけでも聞く価値アリです！
ジュリさんはとても仕事熱が強く、私達を楽しませようとしてくれてるのが伝わりました。初めて会うのに、友達のような暖かい感じで迎えてくれたので、とても馴染みやすかったです。
10月の海はとても寒いらしく、ウェットスーツは借りないつもりでしたが、ジュリさんのお勧めで借りて正解でした！10月の海はとても寒いです！！
そしてボートを走らせ5分もしないうちにイルカの群れが…！！まさかこんなに早く出会えるなんて‼慌てて飛び込み、慣れないフィンを使って泳いでいると、『下ミテー！！』という合図が！！
真下をみると沢山のイルカが！！そして真下を泳いでいたイルカ達は手を伸ばせば届くくらいの近さまで来てくれました‼まさかここまで近くで見れるとは思っていませんでしたが、本当にイルカと一緒に泳ぐ気分を味わえました(*^^*)
カヌーやSUPも時間に急かされる事なくゆっくり楽しめました。
ボートのスタッフさん、カメラマンさん、皆さんとてもフレンドリーです‼
写真もどんどん撮ってくれました(*^^*)
イルカツアーは沢山ありますが、皆と一団になって楽しい１日を過ごしたい方は是非イルカ大学の入学をお勧めします！

The tour was ok. There are a number of things that this group could do to make this a better, more rounded tour. The tour could have picked us up earlier to get us over to Kaneohe and in the water sooner. As it was the tour/adventure felt forced/rushed instead of being a relaxing experience. He equipment provided could have been of a better quality. Perhaps more time snorkeling for what is billed as a snorkelling adventure would have been better. The crew on the boat were good and tried to make things enjoyable for everyone.

The dolphin I wanted to see the most wasn't there. It's disappointing, but there's nothing that can be done, I guess? I encountered sea turtles both on the ocean floor and at the surface; it was my first experience. The staff were young and showed us songs and dances, and they also prepared water slides and kayaks, which was fun. Next time, I definitely want to see the dolphins!

一番見たかったイルカはいませんでした。残念ですが、致し方なし？かな？です。
ウミガメは海底と海面で遭遇、初体験でした。
ただスタッフの方々は若く歌や踊りを見せてくれたり、ウォータースライダーやカヤック等も準備して頂き、楽しかったです。
次回は是非イルカと！

The sea was very rough due to the rain the day before, but I was glad to see dolphins and sea turtles! I thought I would like to go again when I come to Hawaii next time♡

前日の雨で海が大荒れで、大変でしたが、イルカ、ウミガメを見れて良かったです！
またハワイに来た時はもう1度行きたいと思いました♡

Everything was awesome! Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Burgers were good too.

The waves were choppy due to the rain, and I got seasick! The water was murky, so I couldn't see any dolphins! The water temperature was low, and it was really cold, which was disappointing!

雨の影響で波があり、酔いました！水も濁ってイルカに逢えませんでした！ 水温も低く凄く寒くて残念でした！

The explanation bus provided clear information for those who are new to dolphins and snorkeling.

I was able to see dolphins very closely several times, which was incredibly moving. However, I was disappointed that I couldn't see any turtles, as I believe we were supposed to. It might have been because we had a hard time spotting the dolphins at first. Also, perhaps due to the location, there weren't many fish around.

You can rent a wetsuit for $10 per person, which is advisable since there are many jellyfish. The wetsuit is shorter than shorts, so if you're concerned, it's better to bring something that covers your legs.

During our free time, I was very satisfied with the amount of time we could spend on stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) and kayaking. The hamburgers and pineapples for lunch were also very sweet and delicious.

The staff members were very kind, and I had a wonderful time. Thank you! I would like to participate in other activities the next time I visit Hawaii.

イルカやシュノーケルに関して初めてのかたでもわかりやすいようにせつめいバスでしてくれていました。

イルカはすごく近くで数回見る事が出来てとても感動しました。
ただ、カメも本来は見ることができるはずでしたが、最初イルカを中々見れなかったせいか
カメが見れなかったのは残念でした。
あとは、場所柄なのかほとんど魚はいませんでした。

ウェットスーツを１人１０ドルでレンタルできるのでクラゲも多いしかりたほうがいいです。
下が半ズボンより短い長さなので不安でしたら自分で足が隠れるものをもっていったほうがいいです。

自由時間にはＳＵＰとカヤックも満足するくらい行う事が出来てとても満足しました。
お昼ご飯のハンバーガーやパイナップルもとっても甘くておいしかったです。

スタッフの方々もとても優しくて、とても楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。ありがとうございます。
またハワイにいった際にはほかのアクティビティにも参加してみたいです。

The weather was nice, and thanks to our guide, we were able to enjoy ourselves until the end. Unfortunately, we didn't get to see any sea turtles, but we were able to see quite a variety of colorful fish.

天気も良く、ガイドのかたのおかげで最後まで楽しませてもらえました。海ガメには残念ながら会えませんでしたが色とりどりの魚を結構見れました。

A fun couple of hours snorkelling. Its expensive but enjoyable and memorable

we were fortunate to see 2 species of dolphins, a humpback whale and sea turtles! The 3 women who were on board- the photographer, the captain, and our tour guide were all super friendly and knowledgeable. If you are looking to see Koran of fish in the water and sea life, this is not the tour but if you are looking to see some mammals and hop in the Ayer from time to time then this is it!

We were picked up by a large bus decorated with dolphins right from the start of the day, which really got us excited! The staff inside the bus were energetic and provided clear and entertaining explanations, and before we knew it, we arrived at the boarding location. Once on board, we were lucky enough to encounter dolphins right away and had a great view of wild dolphins! It was a bit unfortunate that the water was murky, but everyone enjoyed snorkeling and paddleboarding, spending their time as they pleased. I wasn't feeling well and rested on the boat, but even then, the staff kindly checked on me, and I am very grateful for that. Afterward, we had a lot of fun with hamburgers, snacks, hula dancing, and more, creating wonderful memories (●´ω`●). I highly recommend this for honeymooners (♡ˊvˋ♡)!

朝イチからイルカのペイントがされた大きなバスでお迎えにきていただきテンションがあがります♪車内もテンションの高いスタッフさんが面白くわかりやすく説明してくださりあっという間に乗船場所へ着きました。乗船すると運良くすぐにイルカに出会うことができ、バッチリ野生のイルカを見ることができました！！少し海が濁っていたのが残念ですが、その後も皆さんシュノーケルをしたりSUPをしたりと思い思いの時間を過ごすことができました。私わ体調が悪くなり船の上で休んでいましたが、その時もスタッフさんが優しく声をかけてくれてとても感謝しています。その後ハンバーガーやお菓子、フラダンス等内容盛りだくさんでとてもいい思い出ができました(●´ω`●)ハネムーンの皆さん(♡ˊvˋ♡)おすすめです♪

This was my second time participating. When I woke up in the morning… it was raining! I hoped it would stop soon, and after about an hour and a half on the bus, we arrived at the boat dock. On the boat, I first enjoyed Leonard's "Malasada" and chatted with the staff while heading to the sandbar… Unfortunately, the rain didn't stop, but we were welcomed by sea turtles and pufferfish. We walked (or maybe strolled?) in the water up to our thighs and took lots of photos… Then, it was finally time for snorkeling. After receiving instructions on how to snorkel, we formed a line with the other participants and explored underwater. Despite the rain, we were lucky to see many fish. After that, it was lunchtime! Taking advantage of the staff's words, "You can have as many servings as you want!", I enjoyed delicious kalbi and fruits until I was full. At the end, when they asked, "Are there any repeaters?", I raised my hand and received a cute bag with Captain Bruce's logo. It was a fun and delicious tour, and I even got a souvenir, so I highly recommend this option. I definitely want to try it for a third time, and I hope for good weather. Thank you to Captain and the staff for their kindness.

２度目の参加です。朝起きると…なんと雨降り！　すぐに上がってくれると期待しながら、バスに１時間半ほど揺られて船乗り場に到着です。　船上でまずレナーズの”マラサダ”をいただき、スタッフさんのおしゃべりを楽しみながらサンドバーへ…　　残念ながら雨は止みませんでしたが、ウミガメさんとフグの歓迎を受けました。　　太ももくらいまでの海を散歩(？)したり、写真をいっぱい撮ってもらったり…　　そして、いよいよシュノーケルです。シュノーケルの仕方の説明を受け、参加者で列を作って海の中を探検しました。　雨にもかかわらず、たくさんのお魚さんたちを見ることができラッキーでした。　その後、ランチタイム！　「何度でもお変りしていいよ！」のスタッフさんの言葉に甘え、おいしいカルビやフルーツなどお腹いっぱいいただきました。　最後に「リピーターさんはいますか？」と聞かれたので、手を挙げるとキャプテンブルースのロゴ入りのかわいいバッグをいただきました。　　楽しくて、美味しいツァーの上、お土産までいただき、ほんとにお勧めのオプションです。　是非３度目も挑戦したいですが、天候に恵まれるといいなと思います。　キャプテンはじめ、スタッフさん、親切にしていただきありがとうございました。

Had a ton of fun at Bobs underwater scooter adventure. The crew was funny and friendly and made the trip safe and memorable. I would recommend this to anyone coming to Oahu who loves tropical fish. I got to hold a giant sea star while the guide took my picture. It was awesome.

Although the weather was unfortunate, thanks to Dan and Chieko, I was able to meet the sea turtles I had always wanted to see and had the best time! They also recommended a restaurant, which was very delicious. Thank you so much!

あいにくの天気だったのですが、ダンさんチエコさんのおかげで念願だったウミガメにも会え最高の時間を過ごすことができました！オススメのレストランも教えてくださって、とっても美味しかったです♡ありがとうございました！

I was looking forward to the blue sky and blue sea, but...
I was really disappointed by the terrible weather.
The rain and the extreme cold even made me feel unwell...
Later, when I was talking to a local taxi driver, he sympathized with me, saying it was unfortunate to go during a time of heavy rain that happens once every ten years.
Well, it was disappointing, but since it's nature, there's nothing we can do about it.
However, the staff must have been cold too, yet they worked hard to cheer us up by getting into the sea with bright smiles.
This time, the weather was the worst, but the tour itself was really great, and if I have the chance to go to Hawaii again, I definitely want to try again.
After all, it's a wonderful opportunity to experience such amazing nature.

This time I give it two stars, but if the weather had been good, it would have been five stars.

青い空、青い海を期待しての参加だったのに・・・
最悪の天気でガッカリでした。
雨と、あまりの寒さに体調までくずし・・・
後日、地元のタクシーの運転手と話しをしていたところ、10年に一度の大雨みたいな時に行くなんて残念だったね、と同情されました。
まあ、残念ではありましたが、これも自然相手なので仕方がないな、と思うしかありませんね。
しかしスタッフの人達も寒かったはずなのに、一緒に海に入り明るい笑顔で盛り上げてくれるなど一生懸命に頑張っておられました。
今回は、天気の都合で最悪でしたが、ツアー事態は大変良く、またハワイに行く機会が有りましたら、絶対再チャレンジしたいと思います。
なんと言ってもすばらしい自然に触れられるのですからね。

今回は星2つですが、天気さえよければ5つ星です。

Two years ago, I went to Hanauma Bay on a different guided tour, but my 4-year-old daughter was unhappy, and we didn't get to see any turtles, so this time we made a comeback! The guides took great care of my daughter, and we were able to enjoy snorkeling with peace of mind! We also got to see turtles, which was amazing! I highly recommend it!

二年前にハナウマ湾へ別のガイドツアーで行きましたが、4歳だった娘は嫌がり、亀さんも見られず残念だったので、今回リベンジしました！娘のこともしっかりフォローしてくださり、安心してシュノーケリングを楽しむことができました！亀さんも見られて、最高でした！オススメです！！

It was an experience unlike any other we have done. The guides knew where the turtles were and were very happy to answer any questions! We saw so many turtles! I wish there had been a little intro to snorkeling for those who haven’t done this before. Good memories were made.
