All Reviews for Snorkeling Cruises & Tours

The Angel Sea was very beautiful. Thanks to the thorough explanation and practice time for snorkeling, I was able to swim to my heart's content during the actual event. Fortunately, a sea turtle that had been resting in a coral cave came out, and I was able to swim with it.

天使の海とても綺麗でした
シュノーケルの丁寧な説明や練習時間のおかげで本番思う存分泳げました
ラッキーなことに珊瑚の洞穴で寝ていた海亀が出てきてくれて一緒に泳ぐこともできました

I had given up on making a reservation through the official booking site, but then I found this tour and signed up. Since I didn't have a rental car, it was really helpful that they provided transportation to the hotel. The rental equipment was properly arranged, and the driver was a fun person, which was great.

公式予約サイトで予約が取れなかったので諦めていたところ、こちらのツアーを見つけて申し込みました。
レンタカーしていなかったので、ホテルに送迎してもらえて本当に助かりました。
レンタル道具もキチンとあり、ドライバーさんも楽しい方で良かったです。

At first, I struggled with snorkeling, but gradually I got used to it and was able to calmly enjoy the beautiful sea. I was able to see dolphins and sea turtles, and at the end, I even saw a mother whale and her calf from the boat, which was incredibly exciting! The staff were bright and friendly, making the tour a lot of fun! I want to come back after preparing for seasickness!

最初シュノーケリングに苦戦しましたが、徐々に慣れて綺麗な海を落ち着いて見ることが出来ました。
イルカやウミガメを見ることができ、最後に船から鯨の親子も見ることができて大興奮でした！
スタッフの皆さんは明るくフレンドリーで楽しくツアーを満喫できました！
船酔い対策してまた来たいです！

This tour came highly recommended by a friend, and I can see why! Was our favourite part of our trip to Hawaii, and we hope to visit again soon.

The wind felt nice, and the sea was incredibly beautiful, but the main dolphin watching only allowed us to see them small and far away. The canoe group from another tour got much closer to them. I was really looking forward to it, so it was a bit disappointing. The time spent watching dolphins was short, and most of the time was spent snorkeling, but since we were swimming in deep water, there were hardly any fish, so it felt like there was no need to go on the tour just to swim.

The staff were very cheerful and wonderful, and the final "Harasho" was fun. However, I ordered some products from a Japanese staff member on the bus, but when I realized I hadn’t received them after getting on the boat, I informed them. They told me to wait a bit because it was shooting time, and when it seemed like they weren't in a hurry to get it, they later asked how I would like to pay. I was like, "Well, I already bought it..." The impression I got was that the Japanese staff were kind to those who ordered commemorative photos, but not so much otherwise.

風は気持ち良かったし、海ももっても綺麗でしたが、メインのイルカウォッチングは遠くに小さく見えるだけ、別のツアーのカヌーの方達はとっても近くまで行っていました。
楽しみにして行ったので、少し残念でした。
イルカを見る時間も短く、ほとんどの時間がシュノーケリングでしたが、深いところで泳ぐので、魚もほとんどいなくて、わざわざツアーで泳ぐ必要はなかったなといった感じでした。

スタッフの皆さんはとっても明るくて素敵で、最後のハラショーも楽しかったです。
ただ、バスで日本人スタッフの方に商品を注文したのですが、船にのってから受け取るはずがもらっていないことに途中で気づいて伝えると、撮影時間だということもありちょっと待ってくださいといわれ、急いで撮りに行く気配がないとおもったら、ひと段落ついてからお支払いはどうしますか？と、
いやもう買ってますけど、、となりました。
日本人スタッフの方は、記念撮影を注文した方には親切だけど、、という印象でした

We went as a family.
The clear sea, I couldn't believe we could see sea turtles! It was moving!
Since the family was there, the kids especially enjoyed snorkeling and stand-up paddleboarding!

家族で行きました。
透明な海、まさか、ウミガメが見れるとは！感動しました！
家族来ていたので、子供達は、特にシュノーケリングやSUPも楽しんでいました！

I participated with my 4 and 6-year-old children. I was worried they might not enjoy it since they are so young, but they seemed to have a great time seeing lots of dolphins and riding on a boat that we usually don't get to ride on! They were especially excited about the tattoo stickers they got at the end, which they had been looking forward to even before we went! They lasted for three days even after taking a bath, so it was a bit challenging to remove them (laughs).

As for snorkeling, it seemed difficult for them to breathe through the snorkel, so they quickly came back up from the water. I think I would like to try that again when they are older! They ended up going down the slide by themselves, and they had so much fun that they went down three times! (laughs) Also, they loved the lemonade they could drink on the boat, and since returning home, they've started drinking lemonade regularly!

The crew members were very kind, and we had a truly wonderful experience. Thank you!

4歳6歳の子どもと一緒に参加させていただきました。
子どもたちが小さかったので楽しめるか心配でしたがたくさんのイルカがみれたり、普段乗ることのない船に乗ったりととても楽しかったようです！
特に最後に貼ってもらえるタトゥーシールは行く前から楽しみにしてたのもありすごく喜んでました！！
お風呂に入っても3日は余裕でもってたので剥がすとき少し大変でした（笑）

肝心のシュノーケリングはシュノーケルをつけて口呼吸するということが難しかったようで一瞬で海からあがりました。
これはまた大きくなったら再チャレンジしたいなと思います！
なのでスライダーは自分ひとりで滑ることになりましたがとっても楽しく3回も滑りました！笑
あと子どもたちが船で飲めるレモネードを気に入って帰国してからもレモネード飲むようになりました！

クルーのみなさんもとても優しく本当にいい体験をさせていただきました。
ありがとうございました！

Our group of nine people from four years old to 70 years old had the most fantastic time on Tuesday, February 25 on the PM trip. The captain and crew were so much fun and knowledgeable, and it was clear. They absolutely loved their job. The music, the location the amenities was far superior to any other snorkel adventure on Oahu. I can’t recommend them enough. There were no other boats, besides ours out there and being able to stand up on the Sandbar in the crystal blue waters made all the difference.
This was absolutely worth the money and included lunch and live music and this is the spot to reserve. Thank you thank you.

I thought the water level was about ankle-deep based on the photos, but due to the season? It was up to the waist of an adult (around 170 cm)…
My daughter was scared and refused to go into the sea, so in the end, we decided to wait on the boat. The weather was bad, so it was a bit chilly. (╥﹏╥)
My husband enjoyed paddleboarding and snorkeling by himself.
It seems that it wasn't suitable for my 9-year-old scaredy-cat daughter.
By the way! The restroom near this tour was really dirty… and the faucet for washing hands didn’t have any water!!

写真で見て、足首ぐらいまでの水位だと思っていましたが、季節柄？大人【170㌢位】の腰上ぐらいまでありました…
それを娘が怖がり海に入るのを拒否したので、結局私と娘は船の上で待機することに…お天気も悪かったので肌寒かったです。(⁠╥⁠﹏⁠╥⁠)
主人は1人でSUP、シュノーケルを楽しみました。
9歳の怖がり娘には合わなかったようです。
ちなみに！このツアー近くのお手洗いはすごく汚くて…手を洗う水道は水が出なかった！！

We played in the shallow waters offshore where the water was just deep enough to stand. It was my first experience with stand-up paddleboarding (SUP)! I was worried about balancing, but I managed to ride it well. I was able to see sea turtles in the distance. My child was too scared to go snorkeling and see the fish, but it was still a fun memory.

足がつくくらい浅い沖合の海のところで、サップや浮き輪で遊びました。
サップは初体験！うまくバランスを取れるか心配したけど、うまく乗ることができました。ウミガメは遠くの方で見ることができました。魚たちを見るシュノーケリングは子どもが怖がってできなかったけれど、それでも楽しい思い出でした。

I heard about the famous activities in Hawaii, so I participated. The breathtaking scenery was waiting there. I'm glad I joined.

ハワイで有名なアクティビティと聞いたので参加しました。
感動の景色がそこには待っていました。
参加して良かったです。

Staff are very friendly. We have a lot of fun! Mahalo!

I was with a small child and an elderly person, but the staff were very kind and provided appropriate assistance, which was very helpful! I had a great time.

小さい子と年寄り連れでしたがスタッフの方もとても優しくそれ相応に対応してくださりとても助かりました！楽しかったです

I made a reservation because it was stated that there would be a Japanese-speaking crew, but there was no Japanese-speaking crew. However, the crew members did their best to entertain us, and even though I'm not good at swimming, I was able to swim with the sea turtles and had a great time. It was nice to swim with the sea turtles and the crew (who only spoke English) were kind, but it was a bit disappointing that the information was incorrect.

日本語クルー確約と記載があったため予約しましたが、日本語クルーはいませんでした。
しかし、クルーの方が一生懸命楽しませてくれたので、泳ぐのが苦手な私でもウミガメと泳ぐことができ、無事に楽しむことができました。
ウミガメと泳げたこと、クルー(英語のみ)が親切だったので、良かったですが、情報が違うのはちょっと、、、

I was not good at entering the sea, or rather, I was scared, so I had never gone underwater. However, I decided to participate while I am still healthy and celebrating my 70th birthday. We encountered a pod of dolphins offshore. I forgot their name, but they were small dolphins, and there were some with their young. After that, I had my first snorkeling experience near the shore. I was taught how to use the equipment and jumped in. Once I got used to my breathing, I felt more relaxed. Unfortunately, I ended up taking out my contact lenses. I was worried about seawater getting into my goggles, but the inside of the goggles didn't fill with seawater. I could see the fish clearly when they came close, but the ones farther away were blurry. Thanks to our guide Ken, I was able to enjoy myself without drowning. I also enjoyed a turkey sandwich and corn chips. Next time, I am thinking of trying snorkeling a little closer to the shore. The boat, the new Poseidon, had a warm shower and the view from the upper deck was fantastic.

海に入るのが苦手というか、怖いのもあり海中に入ることがなかったのですが、古稀を迎えて元気なうちに体験しておこうと参加しました。沖合でイルカの群れに遭遇。名前は忘れましたが小型のイルカで親子連れもいました。そのあと岸の近くで初シュノーケル。使い方を教えてもらい、飛び込みました。息使いになれると余裕も生まれました。残念だったのはコンタクトレンズを外してしまったこと。水中眼鏡に海水が入ることを心配したのですが、眼鏡の中が海水だらけにはなりませんでした。魚が近づいてくるとよく見えるのですが、遠いところの魚はボンヤリ。ガイドのケンさんのおかげで溺れることなく楽しめました。ターキーのサンドイッチ、コーンチップスもおいしくいただきました。今度はもう少し岸に近いところでシュノーケリング体験を考えています。船は新しいポセイドン号で温水シャワーや上部のデッキからの景色が最高でした。

From the boat, I was able to see sea turtles up close, and I also saw several while snorkeling. They scattered food, which attracted many fish.
It was a bit disappointing that the sea was a little murky, probably because it was an afternoon trip.
The staff were very kind, and it was a fun experience.

船の上からも海亀が近くで見ることができ、シュノーケルでも何匹も見ることができました。エサをまいてくれたので、沢山の魚が寄って来てくれていました。
午後便だからか、海が少し濁っていたのが残念でした。
スタッフの方々もとても親切で楽しい体験ができました。

Just friendly crew who delivered what they said they would.

The crew for Hawea deserved an extra round of applause. They are the epitome of friendly professionals. The day we did our snorkel trip, it was a bit choppy due to a storm that had passed the previous night. Unfortunately, it left several passengers pretty sick. The crew did an excellent job taking care of everyone, and making sure everyone stayed safe!

My husband and I had a great time snorkeling, kayaking, and SUP. It was the first time we experienced these kind of activities. The staff were very helpful and kind. Loved the live music! I think everyone should experience this at least once in their life time. This was definitely the highlight of our one week long trip to Oahu!!

We participated as a family and everyone, regardless of age or gender, had a great time. There were first-timers for kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding, and snorkeling, but we were able to try them with confidence. I believe this was thanks to the staff's smiles and kind support.

ファミリーでの参加でしたが老若男女を問わず楽しめました
カヤック、サップ、シュノーケルの初めての者もいましたが、安心してトライ出来ました
これはスタッフの笑顔と親切な対応のおかげだと思います

Everything ran on time, the boat was clean and functioned properly. The crew was great; very fun and engaging. The crew provided a lot of local information/history. The water is just a little on the cold side, so a sun/swim shirt or a wet suit top may be a good idea. If you don’t want to use community snorkels, you may want to bring your own.

This was our favorite excursion of all times!! The crew were awesome and very patient with our whole group. The water was cold but once I got use to it i was fine. There were 10 of us. I highly recommend doing this!!! 10 out of 10

I checked the tide forecast and went at the time when it was supposed to be 0m, but the water depth at the site was 50-60cm. I had a decent time with the floaties and SAP. The staff was friendly, and there were explanations in Japanese on the boat, so I had no worries at all.

潮位予測をみて0mの時間に行きましたが、現場は50-60cmの水深でした。
浮き輪やSAPでまぁまぁ楽しめました。スタッフはフレンドリーで、船内では日本語での説明もあり、何も不安はありませんでした。

Captain Bob's was great and the crew was fantastic. Volleyball on the sand bar was so much fun!

The live performance during the trip was amazing! The ability to switch between stand-up paddleboarding, kayaking, and snorkeling at my own pace and do as much as I wanted was also a great attraction.

行き帰りでしてくださった生演奏が最高でした！サップにカヤック、シュノーケリングと、全て自分の好きなタイミングで切り替えられて、好きなだけできるのも魅力です。

Wonderful day with my Daughter playing volleyball and paddle boarding.

The pick-up and drop-off to the hotel were handled by a reliable driver, which gave me peace of mind. The goggles, snorkel, and float wetsuit I borrowed were also easy to use. I am very satisfied.

お迎えも返りのホテルまでの送りも、あんしんしまかせられる良いドライバーでした。
お借りしゴーグル、シュノーケル、フロートウエットスーツも、使いやすかったです。
大満足です。

There was singing, services like spam rice balls, hula dancing, and a lot of other activities besides sea turtle snorkeling, which made it enjoyable! Having a Japanese guide eased my worries. The sea was also very beautiful.

However, reflecting on my experience, I had never gotten seasick before, so I didn't take any motion sickness medication, but the boat rocked quite a bit and I started to feel unwell. I think it would have been better to take the medication. Perhaps reading the lyrics while singing contributed to my nausea as well. My husband and son went up to the second floor of the boat and said they really enjoyed feeling like they were driving the boat, so I think I would have enjoyed it even more if I could have done that too...

歌あり、スパムおにぎりなどのサービスあり、フラダンスもありで、ウミガメシュノーケリング以外のものも盛りだくさんで、楽しめました！！日本人ガイドさんがいてくれたので不安もありませんでした。海もとてもキレイ。
ただ自分への反省として、今まで酔ったことがなかったので酔い止めは飲まなかったのですが、結構船が揺れて気分が悪くなってしまいました。酔い止めは飲んだ方がよかったかなと思いました。もしかしたら、歌を歌う時に文字を読んだのも、酔いに繋がったのかも。夫と息子は船の2階に上がって、自分が船を運転している気分になってとても楽しめたと言っていたので、それも出来たらもっと楽しめたな…と思いました。

It was exactly as I imagined, the best. It was a bit unclear what the tipping norms were, but even those who aren't confident in their physical strength can enjoy it enough. SAP is difficult...

想像通り最高でした。チップの相場が分かりづらかったですが、体力に自信がない人も十分楽しめます。SAPは難しい…。

The crew was awesome, music awesome, had so much fun with my family tubing and playing volleyball. Highly recommend
