All Reviews for Snorkeling Cruises & Tours

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。

Even though it was a short time, I really enjoyed the scooter. The guide was attentive, which made me feel at ease, and it opened up a world that I wouldn't normally consider. However, the snorkeling, stand-up paddleboarding, and the sandbar at Hawaii Kai before and after were a bit disorganized and not enjoyable. You can purchase photos and videos from the underwater scooter experience for a fee. I recommend getting those as a memory of the trip.

短い時間とは言え、スクーターは本当に楽しめました。
ガイドも付きっ切りで安心でしたし、日常では考えられない世界が広がります。
ただその前後のシュノーケリングやスタンドアップパドルボート、ハワイカイのサンドバーは、ちょっとグダグダで楽しめませんでした。
水中スクーター時の写真や動画は有料で申し込めます。
それは旅の思い出に購入する事をおススメします。

Last time, I participated in the fireworks cruise on this boat, so this time I joined the snorkeling and cruise. I was the only Japanese participant, but it was a pleasant cruise with a nice breeze, and at the snorkeling point, I was able to see many turtles up close. All the explanations were in English.

前回こちらの船の花火クルーズに参加したので、今回はシュノーケリングとクルーズに参加しました。
日本人ので参加者は私1人でしたが、気持ち良い風に吹かれてのクルーズに、シュノーケリングポイントではたくさんの亀を間近で見る事が出来ます。
説明も全て英語です。

I made my first reservation here and chose this as my first Hawaii activity! They provided pick-up from the hotel, and when I mentioned that my friend was at a different hotel, they also picked her up so we could meet up.

There were many people from other countries, and I felt a bit nervous in the multicultural atmosphere during the ride to the location.

After receiving the explanation, I thought my face wouldn't get wet, but when actually using the scooter, I had to dive underwater, so it's better to be prepared with makeup and contact lenses.

As we headed to the boat in order, it was quite crowded on busy days, but there were only about three or four scooters, so two groups entered the water one by one.

You can place your belongings at your seat, but I think it's best to keep it to the bare minimum. I believe I could have prepared better if I had been informed in advance.

They provide towels and cover-ups, and you can have photos and videos taken on-site, so having around $50 should be sufficient. A reservation slip is required, so it's good to have a printed copy or your phone handy.

Most people were wearing wetsuits, but I wasn't sure, so I went in a swimsuit with a T-shirt and shorts that could get wet.

Once you get on the scooter, there is an instructor for each person, so it's fine. Even if you can't speak English, you can manage with hand signals. You'll need to equalize your ears, so make sure to do that frequently at first.

When you dive into the sea, the fish are attracted to the food attached to the scooter, so you can touch the fish! An exciting world opens up. Luckily, there were sea turtles, and the staff took beautiful photos for us. I was truly moved by the blue of the ocean and felt grateful to participate in such a wonderful tour that makes you want to go again.

While waiting, you can enjoy the scenery from the boat and see Diamond Head, but I was surprised that the only snacks available were small snack foods.

You can order the underwater images taken by the staff at the end.

If you provide your email address, you'll receive an email later, and you can download the photos to view them for two weeks.

I was really glad to participate with my friend this time! Everyone was happy, but I gave it four stars instead of five due to the lack of time.

初めてこちらで予約をとり、初のHawaiiアクティビティとしてこちらを選びました！
ホテルでの送迎と、友達が別のホテルにいるのを伝えるとそこにもピックアップで迎えに行ってくれての合流。
他の国の方も多く、異文化な車中の空気に緊張しつつ、現地に到着。

説明を受け、顔が濡れないとおもってたのですが実際スクーターに頭を入れる際潜って潜らなければならないのでメイクやコンタクトは対応した方がいいです。

船へと順番に向かい、乗り込んでいくと多い日はつめつめですがスクーターが3か4個くらいしかないので２組をバラバラに1人ずつ水に入って行きます。

荷物は自分の席におけます。ただ必要最低限の荷物に抑えるといいと思います。事前に教えてくれてるともっと対応できたと思います。

タオル、羽織るもの、写真や動画を現地で撮ってもらえるので50ドルあればとりあえず大丈夫かと。
予約票が必要なので印刷したものか、携帯はあるといいですよ。

ウェットスーツ着てる方がほとんどで、わたしはわからなかったので水着にTシャツと短パンの濡れても大丈夫な感じで行きました。

いざスクーターに乗るさえ、一対一でインストラクターが付いてるので大丈夫です。
英語ができなくても手のサインでなんとかなります。
耳抜きが必要になるのでこまめに始めはやりましょう。

海に沈むとお魚の餌がスクーターについてるのでそれに群がる魚に触れられます！！
興奮する世界が広がります。
運よくウミガメもいてスタッフさんがキレイに撮ってくれます。
なんどでも行きたくなるような素敵なツアーに参加できて海の青さにあらためて感動しました。

まってる間も船で景色はみれるし、ダイヤモンドヘッドもみれて、強いて言うなら軽食が小さなスナック菓子しかないのにびっくりしました。

海の中の画像はスタッフさんが撮ったものを最後注文できます。

Eメールアドレスを教えて後日メールが届くのでそこをダウンロードすれば2週間は見られます。

今回友達との参加で本当に参加できて良かったと思いました！
みんな喜んでましたが時間がたりない点でマイナス星１つにより4つは星にしておきさた。

It was a clear day, and we were able to see wild dolphins and sea turtles. There were plenty of activities like slides, trampolines, and crew dances, which made it a lot of fun. I bought a rash guard from Dolphin & You as a souvenir! It was my first time abroad, and it became a wonderful memory.

当日は快晴で野生のイルカやウミガメを見ることができました。
滑り台やトランポリン、クルーのダンス等盛りだくさんでとても楽しかったです。
記念にドルフィン＆ユーのラッシュガードを買いました！
初めての海外でしたがとても良い思い出になりました。

When I went to Hawaii, I definitely wanted to try snorkeling, so I joined this tour. I apologize for the inconvenience caused by not noticing the time change on the day of the tour, but I was relieved that it didn't affect the start of the tour. It was my first time participating in an overseas activity, and I was anxious, but it was a great help that Dan and Chieko communicated with me in Japanese. The weather was clear that day, and the sea was beautiful; I was able to see many fish underwater. I often had issues with seawater getting in while snorkeling before, but the snorkeling gear provided this time was so high-performance that no seawater came in at all, making it very easy to swim. I was also surprised to see cats and mongooses in Hanauma Bay, and I was able to capture them on camera, which made for a great memory. If I come to Hawaii again, I would like to try scuba diving as well.

ハワイに行ったら是非シュノーケルをやってみたいと思い、こちらのツアーに参加しました。
当日は時間変更があったことに気付かずご迷惑をお掛けしましたが、ツアーの開始に支障が出なくて安心しました。
初めての海外での参加で不安でしたが、ダン先生とちえこさんが日本語で応対してもらえたので大変助かりました。
当日は快晴でとても海が綺麗で水中では魚をいっぱい見ることができました。
シュノーケルを行う際は海水が入ってきてしまうことが今までよくありましたが、今回提供してもらったシュノーケルは高性能？なのか海水が全く入ってこず大変泳ぎやすかったです。
水中の魚もそうでしたが、ハナウマ湾には猫やマングースもいることに驚きました。こちらもカメラに収めることができて良い記念になりました。
次回またハワイに来ることがあったらスキューバダイビングにも挑戦してみたいです。

I participated in October, and while the weather was good, the wind was strong! Because of that, the waves were high and the sea was a bit murky.

After snorkeling, my husband got seasick and couldn't eat much, which was unfortunate. Even for those who usually don't get seasick, it might be safer to take motion sickness medication just in case!

However, we did see turtles, and the sea was beautiful, so I was very satisfied! I want to try again when I come back to Hawaii!

10月の参加でしたが、天気はよかったのですが風が強い！
その為波が高く海が少し濁っていました。

シュノーケリングをしたあと、旦那が波酔いしてしまい、あまりごはんがたべられなかったのがかわいそうでした。
普段酔わない人でも、一応酔い止めは飲んで置いた方が安全かもしれません！

でも、カメさんもみれましたし、海もきれいで大満足です！
次ハワイにきたらまたリベンジしたいです！

I was picked up by bus early in the morning, and then we traveled by boat from the port to the spot. During the briefing, I learned that diving suits can be rented for $20. I decided to rent one just in case, but I think it's a good idea for those who get cold easily to borrow one.

After the briefing, we headed out for dolphin watching, and we were able to encounter dolphins perfectly. When we could get close, we were able to approach just a few meters away. It wasn't for a long time, so I wished I could have swum a bit more.

After that, we went snorkeling to see sea turtles, and there were options for SUP and canoeing. I relaxed on the boat. For lunch, we had hamburgers, drinks, and snacks that we saw at a local supermarket.

The tour went by faster than I expected, and many people experienced seasickness, so it's necessary to take measures like bringing motion sickness medication. They mentioned that opportunities to swim with wild dolphins might become rare, but I think it's not easy to see dolphins at such a close distance, so I definitely want to go on this tour again.

早朝にバスでピックアップしてもらい、その後港から船で移動してスポットへ。
事前説明の際、＄20でダイビングスーツが借りられます。
念のため自分はレンタルしましたが、寒がりな人は借りておいた方がいいかなー位だと思います。
説明の後いざイルカウォッチングへ。ばっちりイルカに遭遇できました。
接近できる時は数m先まで近寄れました
長時間というわけではなかったので、もう少し泳ぎたかったなーと
後はシュノーケリングでウミガメを見に行ったり、SUPやらカヌーやら
自分は船の上でのんびりしていました
昼ごはんは地元スーパーで見かけた？ハンバーガーやドリンク、お菓子
思ったより駆け足であっという間だったツアーでした
結構船酔いする人も多かったので、酔い止め等の対策は必要ですね
野生のイルカと泳げる機会がなくなるかもしれないということですが
なかなかあの距離でイルカを見る事は出来ないと思うので是非また行きたいツアーです

Everything ran like clockwork. The pickup from the hotel was on time and everything was ready for us to go when we arrived. As a new Kayaker I found the instructions helpful and really enjoyed the Kayaking. It was not only good fun but has given me the confidence to do a lot more kayaking in the future. As a part of the tour we also did some snorkelling in between kayaking. While snorkelling I saw five turtles and just before going out to snorkel we also saw a sting ray. I had high expectations for this tour and it managed to exceed them!

I must say thank you to Kevin who was our guide who was willing to answer all out questions and guided us around expertly making us feel at home on the water.

The lunch provided was great after having spent so much energy. It really hit the spot!

I was able to swim with wild dolphins. It was unfortunate that my younger child was unwell and couldn't participate in most of the activities. The other tour participants were all enjoying themselves.

The waves were high, and it was physically challenging to swim to the pod of dolphins, so those with small children should be cautious.

野生のイルカと泳ぐことが出来ました。下の子が体調不良でほとんどのアクティビティに参加できず、残念でした。他のツアー参加者は皆様楽しんでいました。

波が高く、イルカの群れまで泳ぐのが体力的にしんどかったですので、小さな子供連れの方はお気を付けください。

We were greeted by a van and taken to the organizer-operated adventure center near Kailua Beach. We rented bicycles as an option and extended our trip to Lanikai Beach, which took about 15 minutes to reach. For lunch, we had a choice and enjoyed beef curry and pizza, which were surprisingly delicious. In the second half, we shopped in Kailua town, about a 10-minute bike ride away. We had four hours, so we were able to take our time. The facility was convenient, with lockers, changing rooms, showers, and restrooms. There were also two Japanese-speaking staff members, so we had no issues. Overall, it was a great tour of the Kailua area.

バンでお出迎え。カイルアビーチ近くの主催者経営のアドベンチャーセンターへ。私達はオプションで自転車を借り、ラニカイビーチまで足を延ばしました。１５分程で着きます。ランチはチョイスが出来ビーフカレーとピザを頂きましたが、これが思ったより美味しかった。後半は自転車で１０分程のカイルア市街地で買い物しました。時間は４時間ありますので、結構ゆっくり回れました。施設にはロッカー・更衣室・シャワー・トイレもあり便利でした。日本語スタッフも二人いて困る事はありませんでした。カイルア地区ツアーとしては良い内容でした。

The optional tour I was looking forward to the most on this trip was amazing! I encountered dolphins and sea turtles multiple times, which was the highlight!

There were two snorkeling sessions: the first at a dolphin spot and the second at a sea turtle and tropical fish spot. After that, we had free time where we could continue snorkeling, relax on the boat, or play on the slide and water trampoline. We had so much fun!

The staff were all cheerful, and we enjoyed dancing together on the boat. The BBQ hamburgers were also very delicious.

I recommend bringing an underwater camera. Even as a beginner, I was able to take great photos! I can't mention other rental sites, but you can rent one in Japan for about 5,000 yen for a week, so definitely consider it!

今回の旅行でイチバン楽しみにしていたオプションツアー
イルカともウミガメとも何度も遭遇できて最高でした！

シュノーケリングは2回あって、1回目はイルカスポット、2回目はウミガメや熱帯魚スポット。
その後は自由時間でそのままシュノーケリングもよし、船でゆっくりもよし、滑り台や水上トランポリンで遊んでもよしと、めいっぱい遊べました！

スタッフもみんな陽気な方ばかりで、船上でダンスをして一緒に楽しみました。
BBQハンバーガーもとても美味しくいただきました。

水中カメラを持って行くのをオススメします。
素人でもしっかり撮れましたよ！
他のサイトの宣伝は書けませんが、日本で5000円出せば1週間程度レンタルできるのでぜひぜひ♪

The dolphin excursion was amazing. We learned so much about dolphins and enjoyed snorkeling with them. The staff was so friendly and helpful. They even have a photographer taking pictures. This is a must do activity and me and my children can't wait to go back and do it again.

We had an amazing time on this tour. The guides were so helpful and made sure my children learned to snorkel and stayed safe. They made sure we saw a lot of fish and we even saw a sea turtle.

The tour staff were all friendly, and the coordinator was an exceptionally cheerful and experienced Japanese woman. Her talks were entertaining, approachable, and cute. On the way to the snorkeling point, we saw a lot of manta rays and swimming sea turtles, and thanks to her engaging commentary, the time on the boat was not just a transfer but a really enjoyable experience. When we arrived at the snorkeling spot, I was able to swim quickly enough to go for another round, and during the second round, I spotted a sea turtle and was able to swim alongside it, which was truly moving! I wished I could have snorkeled for a longer time, but the snacks and hot tea after getting out of the water were perfectly seasoned and at just the right temperature, making them very delicious. I really felt that choosing this tour was a great decision! I highly, highly, highly recommend it!

ツアーのスタッフはみんな気さくで、仕切りのお姉さんはとびきり明るい日本人のベテランさん。トークは面白いし、親しみやすくて可愛い。シュノーケリングポイントに向かっている時、マンタの群れや泳いでいるウミガメをたくさん見かけたし、お姉さんのトークのおかげで、船上が単なる移動ではなくとても楽しい時間を過ごせました。ポイントに着いてシュノーケリングする時も、私は泳ぐのが早かったのでもう1周行かせて貰えたし、2周目の時にウミガメを見付けて一緒に泳ぐことが出来たので感動しました‼︎もっと長い時間シュノーケリングしたかったけど、海から上がった後のスナックとホットティーも塩加減やぬるめの温度が絶妙で、とても美味しかったです。今回はこのツアーにして本当に良かったと思いました！超超超オススメです！

The male staff member who was in charge from the pickup until our return was overly intimidating and didn’t smile at all. I was disappointed, as I had imagined the energetic female staff member I had seen on TV. I understand that the sea can be dangerous, which is why the explanation was delivered in a strong tone, but my daughter felt intimidated and ended up staying on the boat. When dolphins were spotted, everyone jumped into the water one by one, but it felt forced with shouts of "Go, go!" I think it would be quite scary for small children. As mentioned in the reviews, there was a strong sense of a production line. All the foreign staff were friendly, and they took care of my daughter who stayed on the boat, making jokes and taking photos with her. We did see dolphins, but it didn’t feel like we were swimming with them. I think it depends on the timing. I finally started to feel enjoyment when we moved on to the activities, but it seems we spent too much time with the dolphins, and the activity time ended up being shorter. On the way back, there was no place to change, and the restroom was crowded, so I changed outside with a towel wrapped around me. The bus on the way back was the last stop for our family, but the male guide got off before that. We ended up seeing him off, which is unacceptable. I probably won’t participate again, but if there is a next time, I would prefer a different guide.

ピックアップから帰りまで担当した男性スタッフが威圧感があり過ぎてニコリともしませんでした。
テレビで見ていた元気いっぱいの女性スタッフを想像していただけに残念でした。
海は危険がたくさんなので、説明の口調が強くなるのは分かりますが、娘は萎縮してしまい結局船上に残りました。
イルカが見えると順番に海に飛び込むのですが、行け行け！と強引に飛び込ませます。
小さな子供にはかなり怖いと思います。
レビューにあったように流れ作業感がすごいです。
外国人スタッフはみんな愛想が良く、船上に残った娘を気遣ってくれジョークで笑わせたり写真を撮ったりしてくれていたそうです。
イルカは見れました。が、一緒に泳ぐという感覚ではありませんでした。
タイミング次第だと思います。
移動しアクティビティをしている時にやっと楽しいと感じ始めましたが、イルカに時間を使いすぎたらしく、アクティビティの時間は短めに終了してしまいました。
帰りは着替えるところも無く、トイレも混んでいたのでタオルを巻いて外で着替えました。
帰りのバスは我が家は最後の停留所だったのですが、ガイドの男性スタッフはその前に下車してしまいました。客の私たちが見送る形になり、あり得ないですね。。
おそらくもう参加することは無いですが、もし次があるとしたら別のガイドさんがいいですね。

The crew is what made this adventure even better! They were VERY engaged and eager to help in any way possible! The turtles were amazing to see and came right up next to us. Would do it all over again!

Two years ago, we participated in a sandbar tour for the first time with my family, but due to the bad weather, it was too cold, and I regretted having to borrow a wetsuit and shivering on the boat. I wanted to see the amazing views again, so this time I joined with my daughter. Although the weather wasn't perfect, the scenery was much better than last time, and we were fortunate to encounter a school of manta rays, which is quite rare. I appreciated the timing of this trip. The relaxed atmosphere from the captain and the staff was great for us as repeat visitors.

The BBQ lunch we had on the boat was grilled directly by the captain himself, making for a perfect lunchtime while enjoying the views. It was delicious! After lunch, we went snorkeling and swam with beautiful tropical fish and turtles around the coral reefs.

Thank you to the Japanese staff member, Yukiko. I visit Hawaii every year, and I will definitely join the tour again next year!

２年前のお正月に家族で初めてサンドバーへのツアーに参加しましたが、天気も悪かったせいで、寒すぎてウエットスーツをお借りして、船の中で震えていたことが残念に思えていました。
最高の景色をもう一度見たくて、今回娘と二人で参加しました。
晴天とは言えなったのですが、前回よりも遙かに景色もよく、なかなか見ることのできない、マンタの群れに遭遇するなど、今回のタイミングに感謝でした。船長さんをはじめ、スタッフさんのラフな感じが２度目の私たちにはとてもよかったです。
船の中で食べたBBQランチは、船長さん本人がグリルで直接焼いてくれて、景色を眺めながら最高のランチタイムでした。美味しかったです！
ランチ後のシュノーケリングでは、サンゴ礁の周りにいるきれいな熱帯魚や亀と一緒に泳いだりできました。
スタッフの日本人女性ユキコ？さん、ありがとうございました。
毎年ハワイは行きますが、また来年もツアーに参加しますね～

We actually were locals to the islands but live in the mainland now. Wanted to see the sandbar. It was a great tour. Everyone on the boat ⛵️ from captain Ashley to everyone in her boat was awesome and super nice and accomandating. Would recommend anyone for this tour got to snorkel see and the sandbar. Food was pretty good to.
