All Reviews for Snorkeling Cruises & Tours

Great experience awesome photographer reasonable price !!!! It was fun tons of turtles and fish ..

I wanted to go to the sandbar to take photos and use the afternoon for something else, so I signed up for this tour. It wasn't the best timing, so the water was only knee-deep, but I was glad to get some beautiful pictures. I also got to see a sea turtle! It got very cold when the sun went down, and I was shivering after snorkeling, so I recommend that those who are sensitive to the cold prepare accordingly!

サンドバーに行って写真を撮りたかったのと、午後は別のことに使いたかったのでこちらのツアーに申し込みました。ベストタイミングではなかったので、浅瀬でひざ程度でしたが、綺麗な写真が撮れてよかったです。ウミガメにも会えました！陽が陰るととても寒く、シュノーケル後はガクガクなので、寒がりの方は準備することをおすすめします！

I participated in a morning plan that was not too strenuous since I have a one-year-old daughter. The timing felt just right and I didn’t think it was too short. There was a downpour at one point, but we were blessed with great weather at the sandbar. On the boat, I was comfortable in just a rash guard. The light snacks included simple sandwiches and drinks. We were able to see sea turtles, and my daughter was delighted. The staff was very considerate of the children, which made me feel safe participating! I recommend using a waterproof cover for your phone.

一歳の娘がいたので、あまり無理のない、午前中プランで参加しました。時間はちょうど良く短いとは感じませんでした。途中スコールが降ったりもしましたが、サンドバーではとてもいい天気に恵まれました。船の上はラッシュガード一枚で過ごせました。軽食は簡単なサンドウィッチとドリンクでした。ウミガメも見れ、娘も喜んでいました。スタッフの皆さんが子供にとても配慮してくれて、安心して参加できました！！携帯は水用のカバーをオススメします。

It was a trip to Hawaii with my parents and my three daughters, who are each married. Even my father, who couldn't go into the ocean, was happy to see sea turtles and manta rays. The local staff were very kind, and the lunch burgers were delicious, leaving us very satisfied ❤️

実家の両親とそれぞれ結婚した娘3人の5人でのハワイ旅行でした。
海には入れない父もウミガメやマンタに会えて喜んでました。現地のスタッフさんもとても親切で、ランチのハンバーガーもとてもおいしく、大満足でした❤️

The tides can vary, so there might be some unpredictability, and it seems we hit the highest tide, which felt more like swimming in a shallow area than at a sandbar. It's hard to predict these things, and I felt a bit disappointed. However, the hospitality from the staff, including the explaining lady and the foreign staff members, was exceptional. If the sand had been visible and we had the same staff for this tour, I believe it would have been the best experience in Hawaii. Since we can't control the weather and nature, I recommend that those with a longer travel itinerary check the tides before going.

潮の満ち引きによりあたりはずれがあるのでしょうが一番満潮にあたってしまったようで、サンドバーというよりは浅瀬で泳いだという感じでした。
なかなか予測はできないのでしょうが、残念な気がしました。
ところが説明のお姉さんや外人のスタッフの方のおもてなしは半端ではなく、もし砂も見えてこのツアーの同じスタッフだったら最高のハワイの体験になったと感じました。
天候や自然の事は操作はできないので、ある程度旅行の日程が長い方は潮の満ち引きを調べてから行くのをお勧めします。

I went snorkeling in the ocean for the first time, and although it was a bit difficult to breathe due to my age, it was an incredibly moving experience. I especially recommend it for younger people! I think the experience of encountering dolphins, fish, and turtles up close is unforgettable. There were elementary school children participating as well, and I believe it's excellent for emotional education. We had our meal on the boat on the way back, and since it was an early morning, I was very hungry. The meal was a hamburger (BBQ = they grill the hamburger meat for you), so if you don't have to worry about seasickness, it's better to eat well. The staff were all very cheerful and kind, making it a fun time.

初めて足の届かない海でシュノーケリングしました、年齢的に少々息が苦しかったですがとても感動的でした。特に若い方にはお勧めです！間近でイルカや魚、カメに出会えるなんて体験は忘れることができないと思います。小学生の子供さんも参加されてましたが情操教育に最高だと思います。食事は帰りの船上でです朝が早いのでとてもおなかがすきました。食事といってもハンバーガーなので（ＢＢＱ＝ハンバーガーの肉を焼いてくれる）船酔いの心配がない方はシッカリ食べていかれたほうがよいですよ。スタッフさんもとても愉快で親切な方ばかりで楽しいじかんでした。

I've participated in Dolphin University several times, and I've encountered dolphins every time!

You can change positions to see dolphins, turtles, and tropical fish. If you have time, the boat can stop offshore, and you can also try canoeing or stand-up paddleboarding (SUP).

Whether on the bus or on the boat, everyone is always lively and high-energy, making it a lot of fun. When we return to the harbor, we always dance the hula together. At first, it's a bit embarrassing, but it becomes enjoyable, and everyone joins in the dancing.

I want to participate in the dolphin experience again!

イルカ大学、何回か参加しています。イルカには毎回遭遇できています！

ポジションを変えてイルカ、亀エリア、熱帯魚と、見ることが出来ます。
時間があれば、船を沖に停めて、カヌーやＳＵＰにも挑戦できます。

バスの中でも、船の上でも、いつもノリノリ・テンション高くて、楽しいです。
港に帰るときは、いつも皆でフラを踊ります。
最初恥ずかしいけど、なんだか楽しきなって来て、参加者みんな踊ってます。

またイルカ参加したいですね。

Great trip! Lots of turtles, a surprise stingray, and lots of fish. The crew were fantastic and the food was very good. Strongly recommend

Zoe and Natalie were amazing guides. Both were friendly, patient and informative. We loved the kayaking and for me it was my first time snorkeling. We battled sun, wind and a rain storm-very interesting. Lunch at the end was just the icing on the cake. Starving after all our hard work! Only change I would suggest, would be to put in changing rooms, as not so nice trying to get dressed and dry in the toilets.

Thank you Zoe and Natalie.

Unfortunately, we couldn't see the beautiful scenery like in the photos due to the rain. However, we were able to spot sea turtles from the boat. Since we were on the mountain side, it's understandable that the weather can change quickly, but I want to try again on a sunny day.

あいにくの雨で写真のような綺麗な景色は見れませんでした。船の上からウミガメの姿は見ることができました。山側なので天気が変わりやすいのは仕方ないですが次は晴れの日にリベンジしたいです。

This time I participated in a short course, but when I got there, I wished I had chosen a slower-paced course. I think it's better to choose a course where you can take your time.

今回は短時間のコースに参加しましが、行ってみるともっとゆっくり出来るコースにすればよかったと＞＜　参加の際はゆっくり出来るコースがいいかと思いますよ

It took an hour to travel from the early morning. I participated feeling a bit sleep-deprived, but the guide's positive talk and the wonderful views of the sea and mountains made it feel like we arrived at the West Coast in no time.

We took a boat to the spot. I was worried about seasickness, but surprisingly, it was close to the shore, and the waves were calm.

When I jumped into the sea, it was crystal clear, and I was able to see dolphins right away. Honestly, I didn't expect to encounter so many dolphins up close, so I was truly moved!

This is a tour that makes me want to participate again, so please give it a try. However, it can be a bit cold during this time of year, so I think it's better to rent a wetsuit.

朝一からの移動で1時間。少し寝不足ぎみで参加しましたが、ガイドさんの前向きトークと素晴らしい海と山の景色であっという間に西海岸に到着。
ボートでスポットまで行きます。船酔いを心配もありますが、意外と岸からも近いため、穏やかな波でした。
海に飛び込むと、透き通っていて、直ぐにイルカに会うことができました。
正直、こんなに間近に、たくさんの群れのイルカに会えるとは思って無かったので、本当に感激しました！
また、参加したいと思えるツアーですので、是非参加してみてください。
ただ、この時期は少し寒いので、ウエットスーツのレンタルをしたほうがいいとおもいました。

This was my fifth trip to Hawaii, and I wanted to try something new, so I joined this tour. The weather was great, and I was able to take some beautiful photos. I also enjoyed snorkeling nearby and had the chance to encounter a turtle, making it an amazing day. Since I went barefoot, it was a bit painful walking on the sand, so next time, I think I'll bring some water sandals.

５度目のハワイで、何か新しいことにチャレンジしたいということで、今回このツアーに参加しました。天気にも恵まれとても綺麗ないい写真が取れました。近くでシュノーケルも楽しめ、カメにも出会えて最高の一日でした。裸足で行ったので、砂を上を歩くときに少し痛かったので次は、海用サンダルを持っていこうと思います。

It was an incredibly beautiful sea, and it was a very precious experience. Both Chieko and Dan provided very careful guidance, so my daughter and wife, who can't swim, enjoyed snorkeling without any anxiety! I signed up after reading the reviews, so it was disappointing that we didn't see any sea turtles. I brought an underwater camera, and when I looked at the photos later, I was surprised to see so many different kinds of fish! I actually saw them, though (laughs). Since it was a long snorkeling session, I was really thirsty towards the end. We received water after snorkeling, but I think it would be better to distribute it beforehand so we could take a sip or two before heading out. I thought it was just me, but my daughter also said she was so thirsty she thought she might die (of course, she was joking). If I get to go to Hawaii again, I would definitely repeat this tour! I'm also happy that there's a service to download photos from the internet. I'll definitely go again!

メチャメチャ綺麗な海で、とても貴重な体験でした。Chiekoさんも、Danさんもとても丁寧に指導してくれたので、泳げない娘と嫁も不安なくシュノーケリングを楽しみました！クチコミを読んで申し込んだので、ウミガメが見られなかった事だけが残念です。水中で使えるカメラを持って行ったのですが、後で写真を見たら、本当に色々な種類の魚達が写っていて驚きました！実際見ているのですが（笑）。長時間のシュノーケリングだったので、後半は喉が渇いてカラカラになっていました。シュノーケル後にお水を頂きましたが、先に配って頂いて、一口二口飲んでから出発の方が良いと思います。僕だけかと思っていたら、娘も喉がカラカラで死ぬかと思った（勿論冗談ですが）と、言ってました。またハワイに行けたら、このツアーはリピートありです！ネットから写真をダウンロード出来るのも嬉しいサービスです。また行きま～す！

Had a great time with this company. Everyone was very friendly and professional. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to go snorkeling and sailing!

While on the boat, a pod of dolphins came close and guided the boat. They were so beautiful and cute. However, it was unfortunate that the strong wind prevented us from doing stand-up paddleboarding or kayaking. But it was still fun!

船に乗ってたら、イルカの群れが近くまで来て船を先導♥すごくきれぃでかわいかったです。でも、風が強くてスタンドアップパドルとかカヤックが出来なかったのが残念でした(⌒-⌒; )
でも楽しかったです。

It was surprising and moving when I discovered the dolphins. However, to see the dolphins, you need to swim close to them, so being able to swim to some extent is a prerequisite. I felt that with the equipment like life jackets, there was no risk of drowning.

イルカを発見した時は驚きと感動でした。　ただイルカを見るには自分で泳いで近くまで行く必要があるので、多少なり泳ぎが出来る事が前提ですね。ライフジャケットなど装備があるので溺れる事はないかと感じました。　

I was able to see fish and turtles right in front of me, but I didn't think I would get wet. However, when getting into the scooter, you have to put your face in the water, so it's better for women to be prepared to get a little wet.＾０＾

目の前で魚やカメなど見れましたが、濡れないと思ってけどスクーターに入る際には顔を水につけるので顔は濡れるので女性は少しは濡れてもいい準備をした方がいいですね＾０＾

Even though it's called turtle watching, you only see turtles occasionally floating from the board. I thought we would go to the sandbar at high tide, but the water was up to my chest, which was completely different from what I expected. In the end, snorkeling was included, but there wasn't a single fish, and with a group of 60 people splashing around, you couldn't even see underwater. I later heard that there are no fish in Hawaii in October. So why did they offer snorkeling? It was completely not worth the price. I'm very dissatisfied.

ウミガメウォッチと言ってもボードからウミガメが時々浮いているのを見るだけ。満潮の時にサンドバーに行くのかと思えば、胸のあたりまでで水があり、全く期待と違った。あげくにシュノーケリングが入っていたが
魚一匹おらず、60人もの団体でバシャバシャ泳ぐため海の中すら曇って見えない。後で聞いたら、10月ハワイは魚がいないとのこと。ではなぜシュノーケリングをさせたのか？全く料金に見合わない。とても不満。

Since it was an early morning trip, I was told that a wetsuit would be better, but the weather was so nice that I think it wasn't necessary. The dolphins were quite close to the shore, and we made our first dive a little way out on the boat. I was moved as the dolphins swam right underneath me and leaped a little ahead.

For the second dive, we went to a spot where turtles are often found. The water was clearer here, and there were many beautiful fish, making it very pretty. It felt like looking at an aquarium tank. I was also able to see the turtles right in front of me, which was amazing! It was great to have free time with people returning to the boat, playing on the slide, and snorkeling. I spent the whole time snorkeling, but I wish I had played on the slide as well. The light snack hamburger also had a homemade feel and was delicious. All the staff were friendly, and it was a very enjoyable time. Since it was an early morning trip, I had the whole afternoon free. I was blessed with good weather, and it became a wonderful memory. I definitely want to participate again when I come back to Hawaii. Thank you very much.

早朝の便だったので、ウェットスーツがあった方がいいとのことでしたが、天気がとても良かったのでなくてもよかったなと思いました。
イルカは結構陸の近くにおり、船で少し行ったところで最初のダイブをしました。イルカが自分の真下を通ったり、少し前を飛んだりと感動しました。
二度目は、カメがよくいる所でダイブしました。こちらの方が海の透明度も高く綺麗な魚がたくさんおり、とても綺麗でした。まるで水族館の水槽を見ているようです。カメも目の前で見ることができ、感動です！船に戻る人、滑り台等で遊ぶ人、シュノーケリングをする人と自由時間があって良かったです。私はずっとシュノーケリングをしていたのですが、滑り台等でも遊べば良かったなと思いました。軽食のハンバーガーも手作り感があり美味しかったです。スタッフの方々皆さんノリが良くとても楽しい時間でした。早朝の便だったので、午後は丸々使えます。天気にも恵まれ、最高の思い出となりました。またハワイに来た際は、是非参加したいと思います。ありがとうございました。

Engaging staff explained everything thoroughly
Great adventure and an easy way to get below the surface and see the life there

Thank you for always taking care of me!
This is a must-do tour if you're going to Hawaii, where you can go dolphin snorkeling on a boat with very energetic staff. The spam onigiri we had on the boat was delicious. I definitely want to participate again!

いつもお世話になってます！
とても元気なスタッフさんと一緒にボートに乗ってイルカシュノーケリング、ハワイに行くなら絶対外せないツアーです。ボートの上で食べたスパムおにぎり美味しかった。また是非参加したいです！

The driver wearing a blue T-shirt that said "Captain Bob" was supposed to guide us in both English and Japanese, but in reality, it was a large man in a gray tank top who was very tanned and could hardly speak Japanese (・_・;). However, I was relieved that the guidance on the boat was provided entirely in Japanese by "Yuki-san."

When my son got stung by a jellyfish (?), he kindly helped with cooling treatment and explained how to handle it afterward. The hamburger for lunch was also delicious (⌒∇⌒).

During my first snorkeling experience, I was a bit flustered, but he kept asking from the boat, "Are you okay?" which reassured me (I might have looked like I was drowning, lol). I saw sea turtles several times, but unfortunately, I couldn't swim with them. (However, it seemed like others on the opposite side were able to swim with them.)

The sandbar was beautiful, and if I ever go to Hawaii again, I would love to visit this place once more.

「’’Captain Bob’’と書かれた青いTシャツを着ているドライバーがツアー名を英語と日本語でご案内します。」と、案内には書かれてましたが、実際にはグレーのタンクトップを着た、めっちゃ日焼けをしてる日本語がほとんど話せない大きな男性でした(・_・;)
しかし、船での案内は「ユキさん」が終始日本語で安心しました。
息子がクラゲ（？）に刺されたときも、心配してくださってクーリングの処置と、その後の対処法を教えてくれました。
ランチのハンバーガーも美味しかったです(⌒∇⌒)
初のシュノーケリングで、バタバタしてる私に船の上から「ダイジョーブデスカー？」と声を何度もかけてくださり、安心しました（溺れてるように見えたかもｗ）
ウミガメは何度も見られたのですが、残念ながら一緒に泳ぐことはできなかったです。
（でも、反対側で泳がれていた方々は一緒に泳げたようです）

サンドバーが綺麗で、またハワイに行くことがあれば、もう一度行ってみたい場所でした。

We were picked up in front of the hotel at 5:30 AM. I felt reassured that about 70% of the participants were Japanese. Moreover, more than half of them were also on their honeymoon and congratulated us. We listened to the instructions in English and Japanese on the bus. After a short boat ride from Port Harbor, thanks to E ho mai, we spotted a pod of dolphins and even encountered a sea turtle while swimming. Since we met the dolphins and sea turtles right away, we were able to enjoy stand-up paddleboarding, trampolines, and slides. It was a pity that there was only one kayak, so only a few people could experience it. The food included homemade cheeseburgers, chips, pineapple, and drinks, all of which were very delicious. The crew was cheerful, and they made the tour very enjoyable with hula dancing and funny stories. It was a bit pricey, but I would like to participate again. The Dolphin & You tattoo sticker was very cute and reminded me of the fun time even after returning to Japan.

朝５時半にホテル前でピックアップ。参加者は、日本人が７割くらいで安心しました。また、半数以上が私たちと同じハネムーンの人で祝福してくれました。バスの中で英語と日本語で注意事項を聞きました。ポートハーバーから船で少し行くと、E ho maiのおかげからか、イルカの群れを発見、泳いでいるとウミガメにも会えました。すぐにイルカ・ウミガメに会えたので、スタンドアップパドルボードや、トランポリン、滑り台を楽しむことができました。カヤックは一台しかなかったので一部の人しか体験できなかったのが残念でした。食べ物は、手作りのチーズバーガー、チップス、パイナップル、飲み物をいただきました。どれもとても美味しかったです。クルーの人も陽気な人ばかりで、フラダンスや、面白い話で場を盛り上げてくれてとても楽しいツアーでした。少し高いですが、また参加したいと思いました。ドルフィン＆ユーのタトゥーシールがとてもかわいく、日本に帰ってからも楽しかった時間を思い出せました。

This was so fun. The boat trip and scooter ride were made so great by the 3 divers and the captain. The treated us all so well ....my mother who is 86 accompanied us and she had a great time...her first trip to HI. I cannot express to you how much fun this was. Now we are reliving this with friends and family via the DVD and pictures. I am ready to go again.

I was very satisfied to swim with dolphins, turtles, and fish! The staff were cheerful and made it enjoyable. I'm also very interested in the manta tour on the Big Island! I definitely want to participate again!

イルカや、カメ、お魚と一緒に泳げて大満足です！
スタッフの方々も陽気で楽しめました
ハワイ島のマンタツアーもとっても気になります！
是非また参加したいです！

Did bobs scooters was fantastic could have booked another day if we weren't leaving the next day great clear water

I want to say that the weather on the day of participation was great, but the sand was up to my waist... The hamburgers were excellent, and the Japanese crew was very friendly, so I would like to participate again next time.

参加日は天候に恵まれ最高と言いたいところですが砂浜が腰のあたりまで・・・ハンバーガーが絶品だったし日本人のクルーが凄く感じ良かったので次回も参加したいと思います

Although it rained a little at times, we had a wonderful experience at the beach. During snorkeling, we even saw a sea turtle swim right in front of us.

My wife got stung by a jellyfish, but we were still very satisfied.

時々雨もぱらつきましたがとてもいい海を体験することができました。
シュノーケリングでは目の前を海亀が通過する所も見られました。

クラゲがいた為、嫁さんが刺されちゃいましたが、それでも大満足です。

This time, I planned a trip to Hawaii with my mother (79 years old) to show my appreciation for her. Since my mother loves the ocean, we participated in the "Underwater Scooter BOB Sea Bob Ocean Floor Walk & Snorkel Cruise."

On the day of the tour, we were picked up at a nearby hotel, but the driver only confirmed my name. He drove silently to the next pickup location, which felt a bit lonely since I had imagined a friendly Hawaiian atmosphere. Additionally, when we arrived at the shop, there was no explanation about the tour schedule, and they didn't say anything unless we asked, which left a rather unkind impression.

There were a total of 15 participants, with half of them being Japanese. After a somewhat broken Japanese explanation on how to use the underwater scooter, we boarded the boat and set off. There were three underwater scooters, so we took turns riding them. Since it seemed like I had some time before my turn, I decided to snorkel first. Although it was close to the boat, I had a great time seeing tropical fish swimming up close.

Finally, it was our turn to ride the underwater scooter. Operating the scooter was very easy; we just followed the instructor's hand signals (since we were underwater). I was amazed to see tropical fish gathering around the bait right in front of me.

And at the end, we encountered a Hawaiian turtle! My mother was very happy, and it was a satisfying tour.

今回は親孝行をするために母親（79歳）と私でハワイ旅行を計画。海が大好きな母親にハワイの海が見せたかったので「水中スクーターBOB・シーボブで海底散歩&シュノーケルクルーズ」に参加しました。
当日は近くのホテルでピックアップしてもらいましたが、運転手のお兄さんは私の名前を確認しただけ。無言で次のピックアップ先のホテルに向かって走って行ったので、ハワイアンのフレンドリーな感じを想像していた私にはちょっとさみしく感じました。またお店に到着してからも、ツアーの予定について説明はなく、こちらから聞かないと何も言ってくれなかったのは不親切な印象でした。
今回の参加者は全部で15人。半数が日本人の方でした。
水中スクーターの乗り方についてやや片言⁈の日本語説明があった後に船に乗り込み出発です。
水中スクーターは全部で3台だったので、1人ずつ順番に乗る事になってます。私の順番までは時間がありそうだったので、先にシュノーケルをやる事にしました。船の近くでのシュノーケルでしたが。熱帯の魚達が泳いでいるのを間近に見ることが出来て楽しかったです。
そしていよいよ私達が水中スクーターに乗る番になりました。水中スクーターの操作方法はインストラクターの方の言われる（水中だから手信号）ままに操作するだけなのでとても簡単でした。水中では目の前の餌に群がる熱帯の魚達を間近に見る事が出来て感動しました。
そして最後にはハワイのカメに遭遇！！
母親もたいへん喜んでいて、満足出来るツアーでした。
