All Reviews for Snorkeling Cruises & Tours

It was raining and very cold, but the staff really got everyone excited, and I was able to enjoy a fun snorkeling experience✨ When we spotted a turtle, the captain kindly stopped the boat, which I thought was very considerate! I definitely want to try again on a sunny day!!!

雨が降っていてとても寒かったですが、スタッフの皆さんが盛り上げてくださって楽しいシュノーケルをすることができました✨
カメを見つけたらキャプテンが船を止めてくださったりとても良心的だったなあと思います！
次は天気のいい日にぜひ再チャレンジしたいと思います！！！

Wauw, this was so nice, beautiful "dive" space on scooter, beautiful fish. My husband (non swimmer) even went with me and very proud of him that he did it :)

Until just before participating, he was a beginner with low enthusiasm, but after hearing the class representative Julie's talk on the bus, his spirits lifted. As soon as we arrived and received the explanation, we quickly spotted Dolphin Sensei and jumped in without any time to worry!

While he, who was a beginner, was swimming, I, who should have been able to swim, was flustered with my first snorkeling and fins. By the time I settled down, everyone was already swimming smoothly with Dolphin Sensei. I got to swim with fish that felt like they were in an aquarium, and I even met Professor Turtle and the little professor—amazing!

The guy next to me was much more enthusiastic than before, which was great. At one point, the speaker had issues, and there was an impromptu ukulele performance. The hamburgers were delicious, and it was such a fun tour! I'm really glad I participated.

I wish I had taken more photos… I regretted it a bit, but I'm glad we got some good shots.

I want to participate again when I go to Hawaii next time, so I hope the laws don't change… but I understand it's for Dolphin Sensei, so it can't be helped.

参加直前まで、彼が海外も初、カナヅチで、テンション低めの彼でしたが、乗ったバスの学級委員長であるジュリさんのお話でテンション上がり、ついて早々説明を聞いてすぐにイルカ先生が見つかって飛び込んで!!って、心配している時間もなくあっという間に着水!!
カナヅチだった彼より、泳げたはずの私が、初のシュノーケル＆フィンであたふた（）
落ち着いた頃には、みんな既にスイスイ泳がれてて、イルカ先生たちと泳いでました。
水族館にいるような魚さん達とも泳げたし、ウミガメ教授や子教授とも会えてサイコー!!

隣の彼は、行く前と違って、テンションがグーーン↑↑ってあがって、良かったです。
途中で、スピーカーの調子が悪く、急遽ウクレレ演奏もあって、ハンバーガーも美味しく、楽しすぎるツアーでした✨
参加してほんとによかった❤

写真ももっと撮ってもらえば良かったなぁ…
って、後悔してはみたものの、ちゃんと撮ってくれてて良かったです★

今度ハワイに行ってもまた参加したいので、法律が変わりませんように、、
イルカ先生のためだから、仕方ないのだけど…

This time, I participated with my 3-year-old and 11-year-old children. We were told to jump into the water from the boat, and I was worried about whether my 3-year-old would be okay, but the staff kindly helped him down from the boat, and everyone was so nice and helpful.

The dolphins came up to the surface, so my younger child was able to see them and was thrilled, shouting "Dolphin!" After that, we went to a snorkeling spot that was so beautiful we could see the fish from the boat, and we were lucky enough to encounter a sea turtle! At first, my 3-year-old was scared of the deep sea since it was their first time, but by the end, they were crying because they didn't want to leave (laughs).

The staff were all kind and fun, and time flew by so quickly.

Since the boat does sway a lot, I think taking motion sickness medication is essential. Even though I wore a rented wetsuit, I felt cold in the water towards the end, so I recommend renting a wetsuit as well. They had children's sizes available, which was a big help.

I would love to participate again if I have the chance!

今回は3歳、11歳の子連れで参加。
船からはジャンプで入ります‼︎と言われ3歳の子は大丈夫かな？とハラハラしてましたがスタッフの人が船の上から優しく降ろしてくれたりと、みんな優しくて助かりました。
イルカが水面まで上がってきてくれたので、下の子もイルカを見る事が出来てイルカーー‼︎と喜んでいました☆
その後に行ったシュノーケリングポイントでは船の上からでも中の魚が見える程キレイな場所で、運良く海ガメにも遭遇出来ました‼︎
最初は初めての深い海に怖がっていた3歳児も最後は帰るのが嫌で泣くほどでした(笑)

スタッフの方々も皆んな優しく楽しくてほんとあっという間に時間が過ぎてしまいました。

どうしても船が揺れるので酔い止めは必須かなと思います。
レンタルしたウェットスーツを着てても最後の方は海の中で寒さを感じたのでウェットスーツもレンタルをオススメします。
子供用もちゃんと用意されていたので助かりました。

また機会があったら参加したいなと思いました☆

I was nervous about our first family trip to Hawaii, but with the cheerful Japanese staff member, Julie, leading us, we had a wonderful experience. I definitely want to participate again when we visit next time.

初めてのハワイ家族旅行で緊張しておりましたが、とても陽気な日本人スタッフ（ジュリさん）にリードしていただき、楽しい経験ができました。再訪の時は、是非また参加したいと思います。

The meeting place had changed, and even at the pickup time, no one showed up, so I waited for about an hour. I started to feel anxious, but once the tour actually began, the Japanese guide provided a thorough and attentive experience. They took a lot of photos for us, and we had a great time. We were able to watch many turtles, and the sandbar was beautiful.

集合場所が変わってたこともあり、ピックアップ時間になっても全く来ず、1時間くらい待ちました。不安になりましたけど、ツアーが実際始まったら日本人ガイドの方がしっかりガイドして下さりました。写真もたくさん撮ってくださり、楽しめました。亀もたくさんウォッチング出来ましたし、サンドバーも綺麗でした。

We loved our experience! The instructors were professional, informative and made us feel safe. We were able to see several Galapagos sharks and a barracuda even joined us at one point. And the whole experience was captured through pictures available for purchase afterwards. Overall, our group had an amazing experience and would definitely recommend to others!

砂州は海面下にありましたが、この美しい場所に失望することはありません。亀や魚と一緒に泳ぎ、明るい日差しを楽しむことができます。スタッフは皆温かく親切です。この場所をお見逃しなく。

The sandbar was well beneath the sea level, but you never be disappointed for this beautiful place. You can swim with turtles and fishes and have a brightest sunshine.
Staff are all warm and kind. Don't miss this place.

The pier only has a restroom, so it's better to prepare and bring any items you want to purchase, like waterproof goods and towels, in advance. The boat ride is about 10 minutes, so I didn't experience seasickness.

I wasn't expecting much from the food, but it was delicious. The BBQ lunch on the boat was really great!

The snorkeling was a bit cramped because there were too many people, and I got kicked by others' feet while swimming in a line, which was a bit tough, but it was still fun.

You can borrow a GoPro camera! A waterproof camera or waterproof cover is essential!

船乗り場にはトイレしかないので、防水グッズやタオルなど購入したいものは予め準備して行ったほうがいいです。ボートでは約１０分なので船酔いすることもなかったです。
ご飯は期待していなかったですが、美味しかったです。船の上でのBBQランチとっても良かったです！
スノーケリングは人数が多すぎて一列で泳ぐ時に人の足で蹴られたりと少しぎゅうぎゅうな感じで泳いでたのでそれだけ辛かったですが、楽しかったです。
GOプロのカメラを借りれます！防水カメラや防水カバーは必須です！

There was a mix-up with the pickup on the way, which led to me having to call the tour company and wait for about an hour, but I was eventually picked up and taken to Kailua. As an apology for the mix-up, they provided a free bike rental, and the staff were very kind and attentive, which was great.

In previous Kailua tours, I couldn't store my luggage, but with this plan, I was able to use a locker, so I didn't have to carry valuables to the beach, and I could leave my change of clothes, which was super convenient. Thanks to the rental bikes, I was able to visit Lanikai Beach and enjoy snorkeling. In the afternoon, I also had a great time shopping in Kailua Town. It was truly a fun day. I would like to sign up for this tour again the next time I go to Kailua. Thank you!

行きのお迎えの手違いでツアー会社に電話したり小1時間待つというハプニングがありましたが無事にピックアップしてもらいカイルアに。
手違いのお詫びに自転車を無料レンタルして頂いたりスタッフの方も親切に対応してくれてとてもちゃんとフォローしてくれたので良かったです。
今までのカイルアツアーだと手荷物を預けたりできなかったのですがこちらのプランだとロッカーに荷物預けられたので貴重品を海に持ち歩かなくてよいし着替えも置いとけるのですごい便利でした。
レンタル自転車のおかげでラニカイビーチも行くことができてシュノーケリングを堪能することができました。そして午後からはカイルアタウンでショッピングも満喫してホントに楽しい1日でした。次回、またカイルア行く際にもこのツアーを申し込みたいと思います。
ありがとうございました。

I went four years ago, and it was fun and beautiful! So I participated for the second time. It was just a morning tour, but I was able to spend the afternoon leisurely, making it a meaningful experience, so I highly recommend it. The energy of the female attendant was fantastic, which made it even more enjoyable! (We also took photos at the end!) I want to participate again the next time I go to Hawaii!

4年前にも行ったのですが、楽しかった＆美しかった！ので2回目の参加をしてきました。
午前中だけのツアーでしたが、午後がゆっくり使えるので有意義に過ごす事ができたのでおすすめです。
アテンドの女性の方のノリが最高でより楽しかったです！（最後に写真も撮って頂きました！）
次にハワイに行った時もまた参加したいです！

There was almost nothing except for the sea turtles, but when I returned to Tokyo, I realized once again how wonderful it is.

海がめ以外はほとんど何もいなかったが、東京に戻るとすばらしさが改めて分かる。＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊*****************

I have always been plagued by rain during my previous two visits, but this time I finally enjoyed the beautiful blue of Lanikai Beach. The kayaking was pleasant, and the staff was friendly, which made me very satisfied. I would love to participate again.

これまで２回は常に雨にたたられてましたが、
今回はやっと晴れてラニカイビーチのキレイなブルーを堪能出来ました。カヤックも気持ち良くて
スタッフもフレンドリーで満足でした。
また参加したいですね。

The weather was bad, and the sandbar was cold and uncomfortable.

I was lured by the word "BBQ" and didn't pay much attention, but it felt more like eating hamburgers on a boat with everyone rather than a BBQ (laughs).

After snorkeling, we just returned and disbanded, so changing clothes was either in the restroom or right on the bus. It might be a good idea to bring a little extra towel!

天気が悪く
サンドバーは寒くて
辛かったです。

BBQという言葉に誘われてて
よく見てなかったのですが
BBQというよりは
ハンバーガーを船で
みんなで食べる感じでした（笑）

シュノーケルやったあとは
戻ってそのまま解散になるので
着替えはトイレかそのままバスに
乗る感じだったので
タオルは少し多めのがいいかも
しれません！

The day before was a heavy rain, so I participated with a gloomy mood, but on the day itself, the weather was beautifully clear, almost like a lie. The way the foreign male guide on the bus got everyone excited was amazing. It was definitely worth participating. The sandbar and snorkeling were incredibly fun. The lunch was delicious, just as rumored. It was a perfect day without any complaints. I definitely want to participate again next time.

前日が大雨だったのでお通夜な気分で参加したのですが、当日は嘘のように晴れ渡ったお天気。行きのバスの外国人男性ガイドさんの盛り上げ方は凄かったです。参加して間違いなし。サンドバーも、シュノーケリングも凄く楽しかった。お昼も評判通り美味しかった。文句なしの一日です。また今度も是非参加したいです。

There were tropical fish, but I mistakenly thought I would see them on the offshore island, so I was expecting more beautiful coral reefs. Aside from that, it was a fun crew and delicious food (the kalua pig was the best), and I also got to see dolphins and turtles. It would have been even better if I understood English! Most of the participants were foreigners. The sailing in the nice weather during the morning felt great.

熱帯魚はいましたが、沖の島に渡って観るものと勝手に勘違いしていたのでもっと綺麗なサンゴ礁と期待していました。その事を除けば楽しいクルーと美味しい食事(カルアピック最高)、イルカや亀にも会えました。英語が判ればもっと最高かな！参加者はほぼ外人。天気の良い午前中セイリングは気持ち良かったです。

I participated in a tour at Dolphin Middle School in April.

The weather and sea conditions were great, so I was excited to join. Before we spotted any dolphins, we were able to see several sea turtles coming up to the surface from the boat. After a while, we found a pod of dolphins, put on the rented wetsuits, and started snorkeling. We were able to see about 50 wild dolphins. Although they were a bit far away, the water was so clear that I was glad to see them.

At a different location during our second snorkeling session, I was able to see two sea turtles, and I’m really glad I participated. I would love to join again.

４月にイルカ中学のツアーに参加してきました。

天気も海の状態も良いということでワクワクしながら参加しました。　
イルカが見つかる前に船の上からウミガメが何匹か水面に出てきたところを見ることができました。
何十分かしてからイルカの群れが見つかり、レンタルしたウェットスーツを着て、シュノーケルを開始しました。
野生のイルカを５０匹くらいは見ることができました。　
少し遠かったですが、透明度が高かったので見ることが出来て良かったです。

場所を変えて二回目にシュノーケルをしたところではウミガメを２匹見ることが出来、本当参加して良かったです。
また参加したいなと思っております。

The beautiful sea and sky! The staff were friendly and very kind. The hamburger for lunch was delicious. During the sea turtle watching, I was able to see about three turtles! I was lucky enough to swim right next to a sea turtle while snorkeling!

綺麗な海と空！またスタッフさんも気さくでとても親切でした。ランチのハンバーガーも美味しかったです。ウミガメウォッチングでは3匹ほど見ることができました！シュノーケリング中に運良くすぐ側でウミガメと泳ぐことができました！

Fun day At Captain Bob's . Amazing experience to see the mantas and turtles . Good bbq lunch

This is a must do thing to do when visiting Hawaii especially if you want to see Hawaii's state fish. Dan and Chieko were great .

Only sad thing is that we wanted to stay longer but unable to.

This trip was good. We got the feeling that We are in good, professional hands. The guide really knew what she was talking about (highly trained) what you don't see always. The boat was good to This trip. It was easy to see and go to the sea and safe, comfortable to sit while driving. The lunch was average and facilities quite poor but it worked okay. We did see dolphins but not so close. They We scared by other group and another boat. That was dissapointing. But We did see some whales also.

I was thrilled to see sea turtles up close! The cruise had cheerful music and lasted nearly an hour! I was very satisfied! However, there was no shade, so I would definitely recommend providing something like umbrellas for those who are concerned about sunburn.

ウミガメをめっちゃ近くで見れて興奮しました！クルーズも陽気な音楽がかかっていて１時間近くありました！とても満足です！ただ影がないので日焼けが気になる人の為に是非パラソルの様な日陰を作って欲しいです。

I signed up for this tour on my first trip to Hawaii. I wanted to see sea turtles so badly... My wish came true, and I was able to see the sea turtles and even swim with them. It was a truly precious experience.

初のハワイでこのツアーに申し込みしました。ウミガメに会いたくて会いたくて…
願いが叶いウミガメを見ることと、一緒に泳ぐことまでできました。
とても貴重な体験をさせて頂きました。

One Ocean Diving is a class act, and how they go about teaching you about how to swim with sharks is as professional as it gets. Never once did I feel nervous about jumping into the open ocean with these animals. The cost might be slightly high for a tour without any transportation, lunch or anything else, but knowing that your money is going toward ongoing research about sharks is well worth it. All staff know what they are doing and their passion for what they do really shows. Thanks for an unforgettable experience!

I'm so glad I was able to participate! My family was also thrilled. The hamburgers were delicious, and we got to see sea turtles while snorkeling! It was the best!!

Since we were staying at a condominium in Kailua, we drove there with a rental car without a shuttle. Unlike tour participants, when we arrived, there was no one around, so I was worried about whether we were at the right meeting spot and which boat to take until the boat arrived... I wish there had been some kind of landmark.

However, it felt like we were the only family there for the local gathering, apart from the tour guests...

参加できてとても良かったです！家族も大喜びでした。
ハンバーガーも美味しくいただき、シュノーケリングもホヌも見れたし！最高！！

カイルアのコンドミニアムに滞在していましたので、送迎無しで現地にレンタカーで行きましたが、ツアー参加とは違い、現地について誰もいない状況だったために、集合場所がこの場所で合っているのか？どの船だ？と現地到着時から船が来るまでの感、心配でしたが・・・。何か目印があると良いなと思いました。

しかし、ツアー客以外で、現地集合家族は私たちだけだったような気がしますが・・・。

Had the best time! The entire family enjoyed! I so recommend this particular tour and admire the crew who made sure we had a great experience while respecting the environment.

I was able to encounter a large group of dolphins. I never expected to see them so close. It really felt like I was swimming with them. I also got to see baby dolphins, which was amazing!!

At the snorkeling spot afterward, I was lucky enough to meet a turtle, and thanks to the crew's service, I even got to interact with an octopus (laughs).

The number of people on board was just right, and the spaciousness made the boat very comfortable. The waves were calm, so I enjoyed the cruise without feeling seasick at all. The crew members were all professionals and made sure we had a great time. The light snacks were also appreciated. The pineapple was delicious♪

The guide sister was very considerate, and her kindness really touched me, especially after experiencing some cold treatment from the locals...

We took a lot of photos, and it was a thoroughly satisfying tour!

大群のイルカ先生に出逢うことができました。
あんなに近くに見られるなんて思ってませんでした。
本当に一緒に泳いだような感じ。
赤ちゃんイルカも見られて、最高でした！！

その後のシュノーケリングポイントでは、ばっちり亀先生ともお逢いでき、
クルーの方のサービスでタコさんとも触れ合えました（笑）

人数もちょうどよく、余裕がある状態の船内はとても快適で、
波も穏やかだったので、全く酔わずにクルーズを楽しめました。
クルーの方達もそれぞれにプロフェッショナルで、楽しませてくださいました。
軽食もうれしかったです。
パイナップルおいしかった～♪

引率のお姉さんも、いろいろ気を使ってくださって、
現地の方に塩対応をされてきた身に、すごく染みました…。

写真もたくさん撮っていただいて、大満足のツアーでした！

We participated as a family. This was my second time attending, and I had a great time. My parents, who are celebrating their 60th birthday, also enjoyed going into the sea after a long time. There were other families with small children as well, making it an enjoyable experience that transcended generations.

家族で参加しました。私は２回目の参加でしたがとても楽しめました。
一緒に行った還暦を迎える両親も久しぶりに海に入り楽しかったそうです。
他にも小さなお子さんを連れたご家族などもおり、世代を越えて楽しめるactiveでした。

I knew there would be a Japanese guide, but I was surprised at how fluent they were! The wristband that applies pressure to the motion sickness point (sold separately for $20) is safe for pregnant women and children since it doesn't use any medication, which was very reassuring! Unfortunately, the weather was rainy, but once we got into the water, it didn't matter, and we had a great time!

We were able to see sea turtles up close, and we also spotted beautiful colorful fish near the coral. The food we had on the water was very delicious!

Above all, the guide and staff were very cheerful, which allowed us to enjoy the Hawaiian atmosphere!

日本語ガイドがつくのは知ってましたが
ペラペラで驚きました！
酔い止めのツボを押してくれるリストバンド(別売$20)も
薬を使ってないので、妊婦さんも子供も使える物で
とても安心でした！
天気はあいにくの雨でしたが海の中に入れば
関係なかったのでしっかり楽しめました！

ウミガメもとても近くで見ることが出来て
サンゴの近くにいる綺麗な色の魚も見る事が出来て
海の上でのご飯もとても美味しかったです！

なによりガイドさんとスタッフさんが
とても陽気な方だったので
ハワイの雰囲気を味わって楽しめました！！！

The main purpose of our trip to Hawaii with my spouse and our elementary and middle school children was the sandbar! It was amazing! Everything was perfect, from the guide to the lunch to the scenery! It was our first experience with snorkeling, and we had a great time in the beautiful ocean!

夫婦と小学生と中学生の子供とのハワイ旅行一番の目的がサンドバーでした！最高！ガイドのお姉さんもランチも景色もすべて最高です！シュノーケルもはじめての体験でしたが、綺麗な海で楽しめました♪
