All Reviews for Snorkeling Cruises & Tours

This was a fantastic snorkeling tour. Very organized. Dan and his wife were very professional and courteous. The equipment was provided, along with water and snacks. Pickup and drop off was very convenient. Thanks for a wonderful adventure!

Even though it's called a sandbar, the sandy beach and sea in the photo are only available during limited times, so be cautious if you plan to visit. Also, the timing was bad, and it was cold. Activities also require waiting in line, so you can't do them at your own pace.

サンドバーといっても写真のイメージの砂浜と海があるのは限られた時期で行く場合は要注意です。あとは時期が悪くて寒かったです。
アクティビティも順番待ちで自分のタイミングで出来るわけではない。

The emerald green sea looked as if bath salts had been added, and it was very beautiful. The water level was up to my waist, but I've heard that it only goes down to ankle depth about two to three times a year. Snorkeling was optional, and my 75-year-old father tried SAP. I floated comfortably on a floatie, and it felt great! The snorkeling group found the outgoing trip easy and enjoyable, but on the way back, they wanted to walk back across the sandbar but were told to turn around. Swimming against the current was very challenging, but they saw a lot of fish, and it was very beautiful and fun.

まるでバスクリンを入れたかのようなエメラルドグリーンの海がとても綺麗でした。
水面が腰の下までありましたが、聞くところによると、足首まで下がることは年に2〜3回らしいです。
シュノーケルは参加してもしなくてもよく、75歳の父がSAPにトライしました。
私は浮き輪でプカプカ浮いてとても気持ちよかった♪
シュノーケル組は、行きは楽で良かったけど、帰りはサンドバーを歩いて帰りたかったがUターンするよう言われ、海流に逆らって泳ぐことがとても大変だったけど、魚がたくさんいてとても綺麗で楽しかったとのことです。

I chose the banana boat and bumper tube plan! The bumper tube was especially fun! I'm glad I got to see sea turtles too!

バナナボートとバンパーチューブのプランにしました！バンパーチューブが特に楽しかった！海亀にも会えてよかった！

On the day of the trip, the wind was strong and the waves were intense, so I was worried about whether we would see dolphins. However, when we actually went out to sea and arrived at the dolphin spot, we were greeted by an incredible number of dolphins, and the kids were thrilled. The dolphins were friendly and swam around the boat for a long time, which was amazing. We also had the opportunity to snorkel and see sea turtles, which was a series of emotional moments. The staff were all very friendly and made it safe and enjoyable for our children aged 6, 8, and 10. I would love to participate again next time.

当日は風も強く、波も凄かったのでイルカに会えるか心配しておりましたが、実際に海に出てイルカがいるポイントに到着すると凄い数のイルカが出迎えてくれて、子供も大はしゃぎでした。
イルカは人懐っこく、長い時間を船の周りで泳いでくれて最高でした。
またシュノーケルもウミガメと会える事が出来て、感動の連続でした。
6歳、8歳、10歳の子供でも安心に楽しめるようスタッフの皆様の感じの良い方ばかりです。
次回も参加したいと思います。

The staff was excellent.
To be honest, Hanauma Bay doesn't have the clarity for snorkeling, and the fish are sparse.
It might have just been a bad time of year.

スタッフは最高でした。
ハナウマ湾は、正直に言えば、シュノーケリングするほどの透明度はなく、魚もまばらです。
たまたま時期が悪かったのかもしれません。

We had a wonderful time sailing and snorkeling. The crew were all so nice, informative and friendly. We saw several turtles and lots of fish.

The whole team made us comfortable especially with the kids! Kind and friendly!!! Thank you for making our trip special and memorable. The boys want to take you up on a job 🤗

This was one of the best catamaran cruises I’ve been on. My husband and I had our last full day on the island and i wanted to snorkel to see the Honu . So we booked this excursion and it was the best way to end our honeymoon . The crew is amazing and so friendly . Me being and island girl and my hubby from the mainland i had to give him the best experience before we left . This did not disappoint . I can only remember Phoenix name but everyone on 5/18 1145 crew were wonderful. The sailing after the snorkeling was a great way to end the adventure . I recommend this highly . MAHALO !

It was a bit cold due to the wind and occasional rain. However, I encountered many fish while snorkeling and was able to kayak skillfully, creating great memories with my wife. The staff was very attentive and provided friendly advice, making it a wonderful day. Thank you! 😊

風があり、時々雨も降ったので少し寒かったです。でもシュノーケルで多くの魚にも出会えたし、カヤックにも上手に乗れたので、妻との良い思い出になりました。そしてスタッフの気配りも十分で、とてもフレンドリーなアドバイスにて、良い一日となりました。ありがとうございました😊

This is my third time at Sandbar!
My wife and daughter were there for the first time.
The staff were friendly and communicated in Japanese, making it a very enjoyable experience.

Meeting up on-site was smooth, and the guidance was seamless.

サンドバーは、私は３回目！
妻と娘は初めてでした。
スタッフの皆さんが和気あいあいと日本語を使ってくれて案内してくれるので、とても楽しく過ごすことができました。

また現地集合で、参加させてもらい案内もスムーズでした。

Stunning location, not too many people, but of a process to get into the park but once there it was lovely. We didn’t get to see turtles but there was a lot of other fish to see.

I requested a pick-up service, and both the departure and return were almost on time.

I felt reassured because there was a proper explanation from a Japanese person before boarding the boat.

I enjoyed stand-up paddleboarding, kayaking, and snorkeling. The water level was about waist-high and felt cold at first, but I got used to it quickly. The live music on the boat was wonderful.

送迎をお願いしましたが行き帰りほぼ時間通りでした。
日本人の方から船に乗る前にきちんと説明があったので安心できました。

SUP、カヤック、シュノーケリングと堪能しました。
水位は腰くらいあって最初は冷たく感じましたがすぐ慣れました。
船での生演奏が素晴らしかったです。

The weather was nice, the tide was about knee-high, and the white sand was clearly visible, making for the best conditions to move around. Despite the large number of participants, the staff managed everything wonderfully and kept a watchful eye, allowing us to relax. We saw many sea turtles from the boat in the turtle zone, and at a different snorkeling point from the sandbar, we encountered a variety of fish. They checked in on us multiple times here as well, which was reassuring. The hamburgers for lunch were delicious. While this tour is a bit more expensive than others, the content is different, and considering the satisfaction, it can be said that the cost-performance is good. I recommend this tour to anyone who is undecided.

天気も良く、潮の高さも膝くらいで白砂もよく見えて動きやすく最高のコンディションでした。参加人数が多かったのに、スタッフは見事にさばき、目を配っていただいて安心して過ごせました。海亀ゾーンでは船上からたくさん見れましたし、サンドバーとは別のシュノーケルポイントではたくさんの種類の魚が見れました。ここでも何度も声掛けしてくださって、安心できました。お昼のハンバーガーも美味でした。他ツアーより割高なのは内容が違うからで、満足感を考えるとコスパがいいと言えます。迷っている方がいればこちらをお勧めします。

Lanikai is certainly beautiful, but when it comes to beach snorkeling, the Palau Pacific Resort is definitely superior. You can't expect much in terms of fish variety or density. However, you might encounter turtles. We also saw a turtle over 80 cm long. (Unfortunately, I forgot to turn on the camera, so I don't have a photo, but it was the largest one I've ever seen.)

ラニカイは確かに綺麗ですが、ビーチシュノーケルという点ではパラオパシフィックリゾートの方が断然上。魚影も種類も期待できません。
ただ、カメには出会えるかもしれません。
私達も甲良長80cm超えを見ましたよ。（写真は電源ON忘れたので無いですが、あれほどの巨体は初めて見ました）

I made great memories in the best scenery✨ Thank you😊✨
I found sea turtles while snorkeling 🤿 and filmed them, but they didn't show up well, which was disappointing 😢
However, I was able to see many sea turtles with my own eyes, so it was fun‼️ The spam onigiri was also delicious 🤤

最高の景色の中で、良い思い出が出来ました✨ありがとうございました😊✨
シュノーケル🤿で海亀🐢見つけて、動画撮ったけど、あんまり映ってなくて、残念😢
でも、肉眼でたくさん海亀🐢見れたので、楽しかったです‼️スパムおにぎりも美味しかったです🤤

Not only the activities, but we also stopped by Leonard's on the way back!

The guide was great too. We saw a lot of turtles.

アクティビティだけでなく、帰りにレナーズにも寄ってくださった！

ガイドもよきでした。
亀もいっぱい見れました

The front office was incredible as we changed our plans 2x and they accommodated us! The crew was very friendly and we saw several turtles and tons of fish. The catamaran was extremely smooth and everyone in our party had a blast! Highly recommend this excursion.

A lounge floating on the sea, kayaking experiences, snorkeling, and enjoying marine sports! The scenery was amazing, and there was a nearby U.S. military base with fighter jets and helicopters flying around. As an airplane enthusiast, I thoroughly enjoyed my time in Hawaii. Although the sandbar didn't appear due to the season, I had plenty of fun.

海に浮かぶラウンジ、カヤック体験、シュノーケリング🤿とマリンスポーツを堪能❗️
景色も最高で、近くに米軍基地があり、
戦闘機やヘリコプターも旋回しており、飛行機好きな私としてはハワイを大満喫出来ました。季節的にサンドバーは出現しませんでしたが、十分楽しめました。

It was cloudy all day, with occasional light rain, and it felt a bit chilly, so the conditions were not ideal. However, the staff lent us wetsuits, took photos on the boat, helped us find turtles, and really lifted the atmosphere. I had a very enjoyable time, so I would like to visit again on a sunny day.

この日はずっと曇りで、時々小雨もぱらつき、肌寒く、コンディション的にはハズレでしたが、スタッフの皆さんがウェットスーツを貸してくれたり、船上で写真を撮ってくれたり、カメを見つけてくれたり、場を盛り上げてくれました。
とても楽しい時間が過ごせたので、また晴れた日に再訪したいです。

This is an amazing experience. Entertainment of hosts (singers) was perfect. They have wit and the singing talent to go with it. I highlyrecommend going with them.

The sandbar is amazing! Sea turtles, fish around the corals, paddle boarding.
I can't believe wife and I did the banana boat ride at our ages. It is worth it though! I tell people I can't believe I did it but glad I did.

Will take this tour again when given the chance!

The boat didn't sway much, and I didn't get seasick.
For lunch, we had spam onigiri and miso soup (there were also chips and coffee).
I encountered sea turtles once or twice, but the water wasn't very clear, so I couldn't see them well, and they swam away in no time.
I appreciated that there were announcements in Japanese. It would be easier to go if it were a bit cheaper.

船はあまり揺れず、船酔いもなし。
ランチは、スパムおにぎりとお味噌汁でした。（ポテチやコーヒーもあり）
ウミガメは、1〜2回遭遇しましたが、水の透明度があまり高くないのでよく見えず、あっという間に泳いでいってしまいました。
日本語の案内があるのはありがたかったです。もう少しお安いと行きやすいですね。

Amazing experience Great service and excellent staff!

Hanauma Bay is still a beautiful place to visit! The reef is home to such a beautiful variety of colorful fish, sea urchins, & coral. A must see for anyone visiting Oahu!

There was a Japanese-speaking staff member, so I didn't have any anxiety about communication throughout the tour! I wasn't able to see dolphins, but I was informed that I could join the same tour or a tour from the same company for free within two weeks. After that, there might be a discount percentage, but I'm not sure how much... I don't remember until when it applies.

The experience was very enjoyable, but the weather was a bit bad on the day, and the waves were high, so the snorkeling wasn't in very deep areas. It was fun!

日本語対応の日本人の方がいらっしゃったので終始言葉による不安はありませんでした！イルカが見られなかったので、代わりに2週間以内は同じツアーだったか同じ会社のツアーだったかが無料で参加出来るとの事でした。それ以降は何パーセントoffとか？らしいです、、、いつまでだったかは覚えてないです💦
内容はとても楽しかったのですが、当日少し天気が悪く波が高かったのでシュノーケリングはそんなに深いところではなかったです。楽しかったです！

I was worried because the weather was bad, but the sea was very beautiful and I was able to see a lot of fish! When we said we wanted to see sea turtles, they took us to the sea turtle spot, and I was so happy to see them up close!! There was even a seal unexpectedly!!! The hour flew by, and it was so much fun.

天気が悪くて不安だったのですが、
海の中はとても綺麗でたくさん魚を見ることができました！
私たちがウミガメを見たいと言ったら、ウミガメスポットに連れて行ってくれて、実際に近くで見ることができすごく嬉しかったです！！まさかのアザラシもいました！！！
1時間あっという間でとても楽しかったです。

Excellent boat tour with six of us so essentially a private tour. The ladies were great driving the boat and spotting the whales, spinner dolphins and turtles. Was great to bring your own food and drinks on board.

The sandbar is simply beautiful. It was my first time paddleboarding, and I had a lot of fun. My husband and I rode a kayak surrounded by the beautiful sea and sky, and we felt so happy. During snorkeling, we were able to see many fish and turtles, and the staff who taught us spoke Japanese, making the explanations clear and thorough, which we appreciated. The drinks, snacks, and spam onigiri were all delicious.

とにかく美しいサンドバー
SUPは初めてでしたが、とても楽しかったし、カヤックに夫婦で乗り綺麗な海と空に囲まれてhappyでした。
シュノーケリングでは、たくさんの魚や亀に会うことができて、教えてくれるスタッフの方も日本語が話せて、説明がわかりやすく丁寧でありがたかったです。
飲み物やスナック、スパムおにぎり、どれも美味しかったです。

This time in Honolulu, I didn't plan anything in advance, so I searched for various information on-site.

I finally tried "Heavenly Ocean," which I had wanted to visit for a long time!

There were Japanese staff members and staff who could speak Japanese, so the explanations were easy to understand, and I felt安心して参加できました(^_^)

今回のホノルルステイは事前の計画を全く立ててこなかったんで、現地から色々と情報検索して探しだしました。

前から行ってみたかった「天国の海」に初トライ！

日本人のスタッフさんも、日本語を話せるスタッフさんもいたので、説明も分かりやすく安心して参加できました(^_^)

Tour was amazing! The crews were awesome. The band, outstanding!
