All Reviews for Snorkeling Cruises & Tours

Even with the chilly air that day, we had an absolute last. The crew was kind, attentive, lively and generally playful. The live band was amazing. We had a few hula dancers make an impromptu performance. It felt like a warm nd peaceful family get together. Highly recommend.

Those gentleman were amazing!! Aiden was outstanding, and took the best pictures of my daughter and I. Thank you boys!!

Minako, who attended to us, was incredibly kind! 😍 We got to see so many dolphins, it was the best! 😆😆 I want to go again! ✨

アテンドをしてくださったミナコさん‼︎
めちゃくちゃ親切でした😍
イルカもたくさん見れて最高でした😆😆

また行きたいです✨

I was able to use it with peace of mind without any troubles. Thank you very much. I would like to use it again next time.

特にトラブルもなく、安心して利用できました。ありがとうございました。また、次回も利用したいと思います。。

Hanauma Bay was very beautiful. I participated from the morning, and at that early hour, the tide hadn't come in yet, so the corals were very close, and I could see the fish without snorkeling. I went just before Golden Week, but the water temperature was low and it was cold. There weren't many colorful fish, but I was very satisfied.

ハナウマ湾とても綺麗でした
午前から参加したのですが、朝イチの時間はまだ潮が満ちておらず、珊瑚が近すぎてシュノーケルなくても魚が目視できる感じでした
GW直前にいったのですが、水温が低く、寒かったです
カラフルなお魚はあまりいませんでしたが、大満足でした

I encountered many dolphins and sea turtles.

The plan was specifically focused on snorkeling, and I had an amazing time.

The cheeseburger for lunch was quite filling and delicious.

Thank you, Yuji, Kristen, and Jason.

沢山のイルカとウミガメに出会えました。

シュノーケリングだけに特化したプランで、めちゃくちゃ楽しめました。

ランチのチーズバーガーは結構ボリュームがあり美味しかったです。

Departing from the Sheraton Waikiki in the heart of Waikiki. Everything is in English, and there are no Japanese speakers. The explanations are clear, so it's manageable.

The life jackets are the type you inflate yourself, but they are used by other companies as well, and as long as you inflate them properly, there are no issues.

The sea turtle snorkeling is just off the coast of Waikiki, right after departure. This time, we saw two turtles.

It took some time to find the turtles, but in the meantime, we enjoyed snorkeling with various fish.

Whether they are being fed or not, the fish come close, allowing you to experience swimming alongside them.

After snorkeling, we started sailing. In addition to free snacks, there are alcoholic beverages available for purchase.

Having a beer in Hawaii's dry climate after snorkeling was fantastic.

The waves during sailing were a bit high, but since the boat is a catamaran, it was not a problem. Once you get used to it, it becomes a fun attraction.

ワイキキの中心部シェラトンワイキキ横から出港。
全て英語で、日本人はいません。
説明は分かりやすいので、なんとかなります。

ライフジャケットは、自分で空気を入れて含ませるタイプですが、他社でも使われていて、しっかり空気を入れれば問題ありません。

ウミガメシュノーケリングは出港して直ぐのワイキキ沖。
今回は2匹いました。

今回、ウミガメを探すのに時間がかかりましたが、その間は様々な魚とシュノーケリング。

餌付けをされているのか、近づいきて、一緒に泳いでいる感覚を味わえます。

シュノーケリングの後は、セーリング開始。
無料のスナックの他、有料でアルコールもあります。

シュノーケリング後、ハワイのカラッとした気候の中で飲むビールは最高でした。

セーリング中の波は、少し高いですが、船が双胴船なので問題なし。
慣れると楽しいアトラクションになります。

It was my first experience with snorkeling, but the instructor was always there to guide me and help me, so I was able to complete it safely. The waves were strong, and I didn't get to see any sea turtles, but I was able to see some fish, and it was a good experience. I was advised to rent a wetsuit to avoid scraping my knees, but I managed to get through without one.

シュノーケリング初体験でしたが、常にインストラクターの方が声掛けや手をひいて下さり、無事に終えることができました。
波が強く、ウミガメさんには会えませんでしたが、それなりにお魚さんも見れましたし、良い体験でした。
膝等を擦り剥かない様、ウエットスーツのレンタルも勧められましたが、なんとか無しで乗り切れました。

As a tourist, I was able to enjoy beautiful scenery at places that required joining a tour. I also saw plenty of sea turtles and fish. The price was a bit high, but I had a great time throughout, the lunch was delicious, and overall, I’m glad I participated!

観光客としてはツアーに参加しないと行けない場所で綺麗な景色を楽しむことができました。ウミガメやお魚もいっぱい見れました。値段は少し高いですが、終始楽しく過ごすことができ、お昼ご飯も美味しく、総合的に参加して良かったです！

Had a great day out on the sandbar with great music super helpful crew good food, beautiful warm water amazing scenes lots to do super recommended

Best day! We had a group of 117 developmentally disabled adults and staff- we had an amazing time. The staff was attentive, the views spectacular!

I loved my experience everyone was knowledgeable, provided donuts for breakfast, and the activities provided were amazing. Worth the money!

I signed up for this tour because I wanted to see the sandbar. There were Japanese staff members who provided explanations in Japanese very kindly. Additionally, there were foreign staff members who could speak Japanese, which made it very comfortable. The blue of the sea, the blue of the sky, and the colors of the coral reef were indescribably beautiful. I participated with my colleagues from work, and everyone enjoyed experiences like snorkeling, kayaking, and stand-up paddleboarding. We had a great time and felt like kids again. One regret I have is that the sandy beach didn't appear... I hope the sea remains beautiful forever.

サンドバーを見たくってこのツアーに申し込みました。日本人のスタッフさんもいて、日本語で説明も丁寧にしてくれました。また、外人のスタッフさんも日本語話せる人もいてとても快適でした。海の青さ、空の青さ、そしてサンゴ礁の海の色、何とも言えない美しさでした。会社の同僚と参加したのですが皆それぞれシュノーケリング、カヤック、SUPの体験をし、楽しく過ごせました。子供に戻ったようにはしゃぎまくっていました。一つ心残りは砂浜が出なかった事です・・。
いつまでも綺麗な海であります様に。

This was our 4th trip to Oahu, I’ve been wanting to do the Kaneohe Sandbar for a while. The boat ride to the sand bar was great, we enjoyed the live music. We did the morning one, it was a tad bit windy and overcast so it was a little cold for our little ones to enjoy but we still got in the water and enjoyed the views, would definitely love to do again!

I was treated very well by someone from Saipan! Their Japanese was excellent, and our conversation was interesting! They also taught me about stand-up paddleboarding, so I had no worries!

サイパン出身の方にとてもよくしていただきました！日本語がお上手でお話も面白かったです！サップ等も教えていただけるので心配いりませんでした！

I liked the tour but I wouldn’t recommend it, except perhaps for small kids. The kayaking and paddle board are limited to a pretty small area, so it’s kind of boring. And the snorkeling was pretty bad during low tide because you basically can’t go anywhere.

I enjoyed snorkeling and stand-up paddleboarding at the beautiful Kaneohe Sandbar. The weather was great, and the water was clear, allowing me to encounter schools of fish and many sea turtles.

On the way back, there was a surprise stop at Leonard's Malasada Wagon, making it a very satisfying activity.

美しいカネオヘサンドバーでシュノーケリングやSUPを満喫、天気も良く水中の透明度もあり魚群やたくさんのウミガメに出会うことができました。

帰りはレナーズのマラサダワゴンに立ち寄るサプライズもあり、大満足のアクティビティでした。

Dan and Chieko were extremely professional, and great with our kids (6 and 8). They assisted the little one, and escorted us back to beach mid-tour when the kids got tired. Beautiful tour and great people 👏

It was fun. The crew was kind, and the ship was comfortable. I was moved to see sea turtles in the water, and they came close to the shallow area. I also saw many fish, and I think it would be enjoyable even for families with small children.

楽しかったです。クルーも親切で、船も快適でした。
海中でもウミガメが見れ、浅瀬まで来ていて感動しました。魚もたくさん見れたし、小さい子供がいても楽しめると思います。

The crew was amazing, the views were stunning and there was so much ocean life to be seen! Highly recommend!

This year, I was taken care of by Chieko again. Surprisingly, we were the only ones in the morning 😅 I felt a bit guilty to have her all to ourselves as our private instructor. Of course, there were plenty of fish, and the sand patterns were wonderfully mysterious, which made me very satisfied. I'm also grateful for all the information shared during the round trip drive. Next year, my daughter will join us as well!

今年もチエコさんにお世話になりました
なんと午前中は私たちだけ😅　申し訳なくも専属でインストラクト頂きました　もちろん沢山のお魚　また砂紋も不思議神秘的で大満足　往復のドライブもいろいろ教えて頂き感謝感謝です
来年は娘も一緒に、参加させて頂きます♪

Dan was the best. He took care of us. He is knowledgeable about the area and extremely friendly. I highly recommend this tour.

The sea is beautiful, and we had a great time playing in the middle of the ocean at the sandbar, practicing SUP and snorkeling! Guided by the captain, we were healed by sea turtles and beautiful fish; it truly is a heavenly sea! The staff were also bright and friendly, which was the best!

海は綺麗だし、海の真ん中サンドバーでＳＵＰやシュノーケリング練習などして楽しく遊べました！キャプテンの誘導でウミガメさんや綺麗な魚たちに癒されて、ホント天国の海です！スタッフの方々も明るく親切で最高でした！

I understand that dealing with natural creatures can be unpredictable, but once on board, it felt quite rushed and not very leisurely. The staff's attentiveness was very good.

自然の生き物を相手にしているので仕方ないと思いますが乗船してからがあわただしくゆっくり楽しむ感じではありませんでした。
スタッフの気配りはとても良かったです。

Everything from the reception to the announcements on the boat is in English. For those who are not good at English, the only way to understand is by watching the movements, but I don't think there is anything particularly difficult as long as you wear your life jacket properly. However, since it's a self-inflating type, I found it quite tiring to swim as the waves pushed me off balance. I saw two sea turtles, but they weren't slow enough to take pictures, so it's better to think of it as just being able to see them. I was worried about not mixing up my boat since we swam with people from other tours. It seems they separate groups by the color of the life jackets, so it's reassuring to stay close to those wearing the same color. Overall, being in the water can be quite exhausting. Perhaps because of that fatigue, I got seasick on the way back and couldn't see any of the scenery, which was disappointing for the cruising time.

受付から船上でのアナウンスまですべて英語。英語が苦手な人は動きを見て理解するしかないですが、特に難しいことはなくライフジャケットをしっかりつけていれば問題ないと思いますが、自分で膨らませる簡易タイプなので波に押されバランスが悪く泳いでいて結構疲れました。ウミガメは２匹見られましたが、写真に撮れるほどゆっくりではなく見られればOKくらいに思っていたほうがいいです。他のツアーの人と一緒に泳ぐため、自分の船を間違えないか心配でした。ライフジャケットの色で分けているようなので、同じ色の人たちと離れないようにすると安心です。とにかくひたすら海の中なので結構体力を消耗します。その疲れもあってか、帰りは船酔いで景色を一切見られず、せっかくのクルージングの時間が残念でした。

The ocean was incredibly beautiful, and I had a great time seeing many fish. Above all, encountering a sea turtle was moving. I definitely want to enjoy snorkeling 🤿 and meeting the honu again on my next trip to Hawaii.

海がとっても綺麗で、魚もたくさん見る事もでき楽しかったです。
何よりも、ウミガメとの遭遇は感動しました。
是非、次回のハワイ旅行でもシュノーケリング🤿&ホヌとの出会いを楽しみたいと思っています。

I went to Hawaii on a reward trip from my company!
There was a pickup service to the hotel, and there were Japanese-speaking staff, plus some staff members brought their families along.
The lunch was delicious, and everyone was so kind, sharing a lot about Hawaii!
About 300 rare dolphins gathered around our boat, which is something that hardly ever happens, and we were all super excited!
I will definitely bring my friends with me the next time I go to Hawaii!!! Thank you!!!
Thank you so much!!! *\(^o^)/*

会社からのご褒美旅行でハワイへ♪
ホテルまでお迎えがあり、日本語スタッフもいてさらにはスタッフの家族もご参加されていた回でした(^○^)
ランチも美味しくスタッフもみんな親切でハワイの事たくさん教えてくれました♪
珍しいイルカが船の周りに300頭程集まってこんな事滅多にないって言われて皆でテンション上がりまくり！！
ぜひまたハワイ行く時は必ず仲間を連れていきます！！！ありがとう！！！
thank you so much！！！*\(^o^)/*

The only tour I booked on my solo trip and got the most out of the water related activities in the span of less than a day. Totally worth it to book and also get lunch included with the tour. Learned so much about respecting the reef, team focused sandbar volleyball and the joy of watching the turtles swimming.

My husband and I absolutely loved this experience. We got to kayak, snorkel and swim in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. The crew was extremely sweet, the live music was phenomenal and the views were breathtaking. We would go back 100%.

We gathered before 6 AM 😅, but our bus driver Javier and instructor Fuko were already preparing even earlier, which was a small inspiration as we started. It took about an hour to reach Waianae in the west. Since it was my first time in the west, I felt a bit anxious, but we boarded the Poseidon with Dolphin University and performed a ritual before entering the sea, then headed out to search for dolphins... At the second spot, we were fortunate to find a pod of dolphins swimming beautifully 🐬✨. When I asked Fuko, she said the water was 1,000 meters deep! I was amazed by the depth of the ocean beyond my imagination! Then, we moved to a depth of 10 meters, where I was once again touched by the sight of honu and many tropical fish 🥹. We even slid down the slide attached to the boat, returning to our childhood... It was a tour filled with so much excitement! ✨

朝6時前の集合😅でも、バスドライバーのハビエルさんやインストラクターの風子さんは、もっと早くから用意してるんだよなぁ、と小さい感動をしながらのスタート。1時間ほどかけて、西のワイアナエまで。西は初めてだったので、ちょっと不安でしたが笑　イルカ大学さんのポセイドンに乗船し、海に入る儀式をしてから、イルカを探しに沖へ…2度目のポイントで見事に群れで泳ぐイルカさん🐬達を見つけてくださいました✨風子さんに聞いたら、水深1000メートルと‼️想像以上の海の深さに感動しました！　そして、移動して水深10メートルにて、ホヌやたくさんの熱帯魚にまたまた感動🥹　船についてる滑り台で、童心に帰ったりして…盛りだくさんのツアーでした✨
