All Reviews for Snorkeling Cruises & Tours

I was nervous at first but the staff made it easy to get into the BOB. The divers were excellent and guided me at first and then sent me on my way. I've done other excursions and saw more fish and turtles on this trip. The pictures turned out very professional. I have told my daughter and her fiancé to definitely do this next month on their visit.

The best kick ass time in Hawaii, the divers were very attentive. Seeing the ocean from underneath is awesome for this non-swimmer.Younger kids could enjoy this. Bring cash for the pictures as credit cards not accepted.

The crew was lively and it was a lot of fun. The sandbar was cloudy, and I thought it would have been even more beautiful if it had been sunny. I definitely want to try again next time.

クルーの方々はノリが良くてとても楽しかったです。
サンドバーは曇っていて、晴れていたらもっときれいだったんだろうなーと思います。
次回ぜひまたリベンジしたいです。

After finishing snorkeling and arriving at the port, I quickly changed in the restroom before getting on the bus. Some people returned to the hotel in their swimsuits, but it gets quite cold.

シュノーケリングが終わって港について、バスにのる前にトイレの中で大急ぎで着替えました。水着のままでホテルまで帰る人もいましたが、かなり体が冷えます。

We had a great time. There were sea turtles everywhere. We really enjoyed lounging in the nets during the sail portion. Thanks!

The crew was great, the ship was great, the meal was very good, the cruise was exciting and the snorkel equipment was excellent. The water was particularly choppy due to high winds and that made snorkeling for only the fittest among us difficult. The two youngest (12 and 17) had no problem and were in fact the last ones out of the water. We saw a couple sea turtles, a bottle-nose dolphin, and a couple pods of humpbacks (in the distance). Overall, circumstances beyond the crew's control being what they were, we really enjoyed this excursion.

Whenever I go to Hawaii, I always spend at least one day on this tour. It's fun no matter how many times I go, and the barbecue is delicious. This time, the weather was really nice, and it was the best. I was surprised to see a sea turtle up close.

ハワイに行くと必ず1日はこのツアーに行きます。
何度行っても楽しいしバーベキューも美味しいです。
今回は天気もとてもよくて、最高でした。間近にウミガメ接近でびっくり。

On the day of the event, the waves were high and the weather wasn't great, but the staff's strong desire for the participants to see the dolphins really came through. Thanks to their efforts, I was able to see the dolphins up close, even if it was just for a short time. Next time, I would like to join this tour again on a day with better weather.

当日は波も高く天候もすぐれてはなかったけど、スタッフの皆さんの何とかイルカを参加者に見てほしいという気持ちがとても伝わりました。その甲斐あってわずかの時間でしたがイルカをまじかで見ることができました。次回は天候のいい日にもいう一度こちらのツアーでお願いします。

I was anxious because the bus didn't arrive for 30 minutes after our meeting time, but it eventually came, so I thought it might be the relaxed style of Hawaii. The Japanese guide provided thorough explanations and kept the atmosphere lively, and I was able to swim with sea turtles. It was truly paradise! It changed my perspective on life. Thank you very much!

待ち合わせ時間からバスが30分来なくて焦りましたが
ちゃんと来たので、ハワイのゆっくりなスタイルなのかなと思いました
日本人ガイドさんがしっかり説明して頂けて、盛り上げてくれるし、ウミガメ一緒に泳げました
まさに天国でした！人生の価値観が変わります
ありがとうございました

I participated with my daughter who is studying abroad in Hawaii. The feeling of standing on the sand while being surrounded by the ocean in 360° was an emotional experience that you can't have in Japan. It was also my first time snorkeling, and the instructions were very thorough, so we swam together without any anxiety and had a great time. We saw a lot of fish as well.

However, since it was still the rainy season in March and it was early in the morning, it was a bit cold, and the only drink available was cold soda. It was also a bit disappointing that there was no warm coffee during snack time, so I would rate it minus one star for that.

The staff members were all very cheerful and energetic, and they took a lot of photos for us, which was great. We had plans afterward, so we chose the early morning plan, but I think those with more time could join a plan that allows for a more leisurely experience.

　ハワイに留学中の娘と参加しました。３６０°海の中なのに砂場に立っている、という不思議な感覚は日本では味わえない感動的なものでした。スノーケリングも初めて体験しましたが、とても丁寧に説明していただき、みんなで泳いでいくので、全く不安がなく楽しめました。たくさん魚も見られました。
　ただ、３月はまだ雨季で朝早かったので少し寒く、飲み物が冷たい炭酸しかなかったり、スナックタイムにも暖かいコーヒーがなかったり、ということが少し残念でしたのでマイナス１です。
　スタッフの方たちは、みんなすごく明るく元気で写真もたくさん撮ってもらえてよかったです。私たちはそのあと予定があったので、早朝プランにしましたが、時間のある方はもっとゆっくりできるプランに参加されてもいいと思います。

The weather was nice, and it was a place more beautiful and wonderful than I imagined. I really felt that it was worth coming here! I even got to see a sea turtle while snorkeling, which made me very satisfied! The hamburger was delicious, and I was really happy to have hot cocoa after coming out of the sea. It gets chilly after swimming, so a cover-up is essential. I'm glad I brought a rash guard since the sun was strong. The staff were friendly, and I had a great time! I want to go again.

天気もよくて、想像以上に綺麗で素敵な場所でした。
来てよかったーって本当に思いました♬
シュノーケルではウミガメにも会えたし、大満足！
ハンバーガーもおいしかったし、海から上がった後のホットココアがすごく嬉しかったです。海からあがると冷えるので羽織りものは必須ですね。
日差し強いのでラッシュガードは持ってってよかったです。
スタッフの方もフレンドリーでとっても楽しかったです！
また行きたいな。

What a great crew!! Cap is so knowledgable and so chill. Me and my friend had a great time here.

Perfect trip. Short ride out to snorkel, but diverted a few minutes to see dolphins. Snorkeling was great. Instructions for first timers, but we had Done before. My 14 & 17 year olds loved it. Swamnright up to turtles and fish. Hope my underwater pics come out. After about 45 minutes, came aboard for quick lunch and drinks. Then took about an hours sail out past diamond head. Very relaxing on the nets but you will get soaked. Also, I read one review about being uncomfortable and unable to sit in nets??? There were plenty of places to sit elsewhere and out of the spray. Sounds like they may have been on the wrong boat. Anyway, I highly recommend and will maybe do a sunset cruise next time. This 50+ from Georgia had a blast.

Despite the cloudy and Rainy conditions the staff made it an excellent and enjoyable experience! The sandbar volleyball was fun! The only critique I would have is to clean the bathrooms more regularly as they were backed up and it made the whole inside cabin smell.

It was absolutely wonderful! We were blessed with great weather, and the experience at Angel's Beach is something you can't easily have in Japan. It was fun, including snorkeling. The food was light snacks, consisting of sandwiches and chips, not BBQ. Including travel time, we will disperse around 1 to 2 PM near Waikiki, so you can plan something afterward, which I recommend.

非常に素晴らしかった！天気にも恵まれて、天使の海での経験は日本ではなかなか出来ない。シュノーケリングをふくめて楽しかった。料理はサンドイッチとチップスでいわゆる軽食。BBQではない。移動時間含めて13時-14時ごろにはワイキキあたりで解散になるのでその後もプランを組めますのでお勧めです。

I was really looking forward to the beautiful sea in Heaven, but it was very cold and cloudy.

It was disappointing because the sea was so beautiful despite the clouds (tears).

We arrived by boat and took photos right in the middle of the sea! If it hadn't been so cold, I think we could have taken many great pictures.

I definitely want to go again (tears). A Japanese woman explained things to us and took photos, which was fun! The hamburger we had for lunch on the boat was also delicious! We couldn't go snorkeling because it was just too cold, haha.

By the time we were leaving, the weather got better and the sea looked incredibly beautiful! I didn't realize how much the beauty differs between having the sun out and being cloudy (；゜０゜).

It's so frustrating!

The buses to and from the location were ridiculously cold, and I thought I might freeze to death in Hawaii. Everyone kept saying how cold it was (tears). After getting chilled at the sea, it was really bad, so I told the bus driver to turn down the air conditioning, but it was still freezing. It felt like a snow country tour; it was just so cold (;_;).

I absolutely want to have a revenge trip! The sea was really more beautiful than Waikiki Beach! Plus, we saw turtles!

天国の海楽しみにしていましたが
とても寒くて曇りでした。

曇りでせっかく綺麗な海なのに残念でした（涙）

船で向かい到着して海のど真ん中で写真を撮りました！
寒くなければたくさんたくさんいい写真がとれたと思います。

また絶対行きたい（涙）
日本人の女性の方が説明してくれて
写真も撮ってくれたり楽しかったです！
お昼に船で食べたハンバーガーも美味しかったです！
シュノーケルはあまりにも寒いのでやれませんでした 笑

帰る頃天気がよくなってきて海がめちゃキレイにみえました！
太陽あるのと曇りではこんなに綺麗さが違うなんて（；゜０゜）

くやしすぎるー

行きと帰りのバスがアホみたいに寒くてハワイで凍え死ぬかと思いました。みんな寒いとずっと言ってました（涙）
海で冷え切った後にやばかったのでバスの運転手さんに冷房弱めてくださいと伝えたのに
クソ寒くて
雪国ツアーかとおもうくらい
とにかくとにかく寒かったです(;_;)

絶対リベンジしたいです！
ワイキキのビーチよりほんとにきれいな海でした！あとカメも見れました！

The sandbar had a water level of about 10 centimeters up to my ankles, so I couldn't see the sand, but it was very beautiful. Friendly sea turtles came around the boat many times, and they were adorable. The food was surprisingly good for this kind of tour. It was a bit disappointing that by the time we were ready to eat, the curry that had been prepared was almost gone due to the order in which the boats were served!

サンドバーは、足首から10センチほどまで水位があり、砂を拝むことはできませんでしたが、とてもきれいでした。
船の回りを人懐こいウミガメが何度も何度も来てくれて、かわいかった。
ごはんも、こういうツアーにしてはおいしかったです。ボートごとに食べる順番の関係で、私たちが食べるときには用意されてたカレーがほぼなくなってたのが残念！

I was extremely satisfied!!!!!
The meeting was quite early in the morning and the price was reasonable, but it was definitely worth it!
We were blessed with good weather and the conditions were excellent with no waves.
On the way to the dolphin spot, we encountered a whale! We were able to see the whale's tail.
This year, I plan to buy a lottery ticket.

We discovered a group of about 50 dolphins in the clearest waters on the West Coast.
We jumped in at the perfect timing thanks to our amazing captain.
We were able to see the dolphins up close multiple times!
That sight is something I will never forget; it left a lasting impression on my heart.

Next, we headed to the sea turtle spot.
On the way there, we encountered whales again.
It seemed like a mother and baby whale were practicing their jumps.

At the sea turtle spot, we saw six sea turtles!
We were able to see them up close.
The fish in the sea were also incredibly beautiful.

In the beautiful sea, I was able to see dolphins and sea turtles up close, and I encountered whales as well.
I was captivated by the rich land...
I am extremely, extremely, extremely satisfied!
Next, I want to go to Dolphin University and Manta University!

超超大満足でした!!!!!
かなーーーーり朝早い集合でお値段もそこそこしますが、十分価値のあるものです！
天候にも恵まれ、波のなくコンディション抜群でした。
イルカスポットへ向かっている途中。
くじらに遭遇しました！くじらのシッポをみることができました。
今年は宝くじを購入しようと思います。

西海岸で一番海の透明感が高いところで、イルカさん50匹くらいの団体さんを発見。
超いけてる船長さんのタイミングで入水。
ばっちり間近でイルカを何度も見ることができました！
あの光景は今でも忘れられません。それくらい心に残ります。

続いて、ウミガメさんのスポットへ。
またその移動途中、クジラに遭遇。
どうやらクジラ親子がジャンプの練習をしている様子でした。

ウミガメスポットには6匹のウミガメさんが！
間近で見ることができました。
海のお魚さんもすごーーーーくきれいでした。

きれいな海で、超間近でイルカ・ウミガメにあえ
クジラにも遭遇。
豊かな大地にも心を奪われ、、、、。
超超超大満足です！
次はイルカ大学・マンタ大学にもいきたいです！

It was truly a wonderful tour!! I got to see dolphins and sea turtles, and the staff were cheerful and made it so much fun. Normally, I get seasick, but I forgot about it and had the best time ever*\(^o^)/* Thank you very much.

本当に素敵なツアーでした！！
イルカもウミガメも会えて、スタッフの皆さんも明るくてとても楽しかったです。
普段は船酔いしちゃう私ですが酔うことも忘れて最高の時間を過ごすことができました*\(^o^)/*
ありがとうございました。

We used this place for our graduation trip with a close group of nine friends from university. It was really beautiful! I definitely recommend going there when you visit Hawaii! The staff were very cheerful, and they took a lot of photos for us (*^^*). For lunch, we had a huge hamburger! It was delicious (*^^*).

大学の仲良しグループ9人で卒業旅行の際に利用させていただきました。
ほんとに綺麗でした！
ハワイに来た際は是非行ってほしいです！
スタッフの方々もとても明るくて、写真もたくさん撮っていただきました(*^^*)
お昼ご飯はおっきなハンバーガーでした！
美味しかったです(*^^*)

I was able to see dolphins after all. First, I want to commend the crew for their cheerful attitude. Despite it being early in the morning, their energetic greetings of "alo-----ha------!!!!!!!" and "HAHAHA" instantly lifted my spirits. The brightness they exuded is something you can't experience in Japan. It was a brightness that blew away the typical Japanese shyness of wanting to do something but feeling embarrassed. Next, I want to highlight that I got to see dolphins twice. However, I can't forget the shock of jumping in. Make sure to hold your goggles tightly, and when you jump in, first! Breathe out! If you mistakenly inhale like I did, you'll have a painful experience. It's literally painful, so be sure to listen carefully to what the crew says. But once you get past that, you can see the crystal-clear water, the white sandy ocean floor (have you seen it?), and the dolphins! Additionally, those who have been good in their daily lives might even get to meet Mr. Turtle and Mr. Octopus.

I'm really glad I chose this place to create memories at the end of my student life. MAHALO~.

　とにかくイルカには会えました。まず評価したいのはクルーのみなさんの笑顔の対応です。早朝にもかかわらず「alo-----ha------!!!!!!!」「HAHAHA」という元気な挨拶でテンションがいっきにあがります。日本人にはない明るさは、日本では味わえません。日本人の特徴としてある、したいけどできない恥ずかしさを吹き飛ばすような明るさでした。次に評価したいのは、イルカに二回も会えたこと。ただし、飛び込むときの衝撃は忘れられません。しっかりゴーグルをおさえて、飛び込んだら、まず！息を！吐く！私のように間違えて吸ってしまうと、痛い目にあいます。文字通り痛い目にあうので、クルーのいうことはよく聞きましょう。でもここを乗り越えると、透き通った水、白い海底の砂（みたことあります？）そしてイルカ！が見られます。さらに日頃の行いの良い人はウミガメ先生や、タコくんにも会うことができます。
　学生生活の最後の思い出づくりにここを選んでほんとによかったです。MAHALO～。

The Japanese staff explained everything from start to finish, so I was able to participate with peace of mind.
There were waves, and I got seasick, feeling quite ill even in the water. But I was really happy to see so many dolphins!
For lunch, I had a burger made by the captain! It was incredibly delicious!!!
I also got a tattoo sticker, which made for a nice memory!
I only had a little time for hula, but since it's not something I get to do often, I was glad to experience it.
It truly became a wonderful memory!

日本人の方が最初から最後まで説明してくれるので、安心して参加できました☆
波があったので、船酔いしてしまい、海の中でも波がひどく酔ってしまいました。でも、イルカがたくさんいてすごく嬉しかったです！
昼食は船長が作ったバーガーを食べました！すごく美味しかったです！！！
タトゥーシールも付けてもらえて良い記念になりました！
フラは少しだけの時間でしたが、あまりできないの体験なので、フラができてよかったです♪
本当に楽しい思い出になりました☆

We are a couple in our 60s, but we had a wonderful time mingling with the young people. Since I saw it on TV, I had been wanting to visit when I went to Hawaii. The Japanese staff member who was pregnant with her fifth child was as wonderful as the heavenly ocean.

60代夫婦ですけど　若者にまじって楽しい時間を過ごさせて頂きました。テレビで拝見してから、ハワイにいったらぜひ行きたいと思っていました。５人目のお子様がおなかにいて頑張っていた日本人のスタッフさん天国の海と同じ位ステキでした。

Since we had an infant with us, we decided to join the first beach outing at the sandbar! The tour guide was very friendly and kind, which made it easy for us to enjoy ourselves even with a child. The sandbar was truly beautiful, and I was impressed. We also had great memories with the sea turtles and coral (my husband participated in snorkeling). The hamburgers were satisfying and delicious! We joined in mid-February, and it was warm and the temperature was just right since it was sunny. The seawater was a bit cold, though. I definitely want to participate again when we visit Hawaii!

乳児がいたので、初海水浴をサンドバーで！と思い参加しました。添乗員さんは皆さんとてもフレンドリーで親切で、子連れでも気負いなく楽しめました。サンドバーは、本当に綺麗で感激しました。ウミガメも、サンゴも(主人がシュノーケリングに参加しました)いい思い出になりました。ハンバーガーも食べ応えがあってよかったです！2月中旬に参加しましたが、晴れていたので暖かく気温もちょうどよかったです。海水は少し冷たかったかな。
また、ハワイへ訪れた時は必ず参加したいです。

Stunning place! My husband and I had the best day! So easy and relaxing. Friendly staff. A lot more than just a snorkelling experience. Will definitively do it again. Highly recommend it.

Yukiko, our guide, was very cheerful and friendly, and she referred to us as a flashy group of four. Even the two who had never snorkeled before were very happy to swim around the coral reef following the instructor. Unfortunately, it rained when we weren't snorkeling at the angel's sea, but it was a very enjoyable tour, especially seeing sea turtles. When we mentioned that we would participate in the Honolulu Festival parade the next day, Yukiko came to see us. Thank you to Yukiko and all the staff. It became a very memorable experience in Hawaii.

ガイドのYUKIKOさんが、とっても明るく気さくな人で、私達のことを派手な4人組、と言ってました。シュノーケルをしたことない2人も、インストラクターのあとを付いて珊瑚礁の周りを一緒に泳げてとっても喜んでました。あいにく、天使の海とシュノーケルしてない時は、雨でしたが、海亀見たりと、とっても楽しいツアーでした。私達が、次の日ホノルルフェスティバルのパレードに参加すると言っていたら、YUKIKOさんが来て下さいました。YUKIKOさんはじめ、スタッフの皆さん、ありがとうございました。とっても楽しいハワイの思い出になりました。

Snorkeling was awesome! We swam with turtles and fish and even saw whales as a bonus. Captain Steve and Travis were great, very entertaining! Highly recommend!

It was the rainy season, so the weather wasn't very good, but we all walked on the sandbar, had our photos taken by the guide, enjoyed snorkeling in the sea, and had a BBQ lunch. It was a lot of fun and very enjoyable.

雨季なので、お天気はあまり良くはなかったのですが、みんなでサンドバーを歩いたり、ガイドさんに写真を撮っていただいたり、海の中でシュノーケリングやBBQランチなどをいただいて、とても楽しくて良かったです。

Originally, I wanted to join a different tour, but since it was fully booked, I signed up for this one. In the end, I had a very enjoyable and wonderful day, and I am truly satisfied.

First, let me mention a few points of dissatisfaction. The driver who picked us up in the bus didn’t respond when we greeted him as we boarded. However, he was overly enthusiastic during his self-introduction. The guide, who I’m not sure could really be called a guide, seemed to be a high-ranking person in the company and gave off a rather unrestrained impression.

On-site, there was a woman named Yukiko who managed everything. In fact, without her, the tour wouldn’t have run smoothly. The young male staff members were all cheerful and kind. I believe they must have learned various aspects of Japanese hospitality from Yukiko.

The tour content was genuine; the sandbar was amazing, we saw sea turtles, and we were able to go snorkeling.

Overall, the tour was thanks to Yukiko and the young staff. I am grateful to them and would love to go again. If anyone is considering other tours, I highly recommend this one.

本来は別のツアーを希望していたのですがいっぱいだったためこちらを申し込みましたが、結果的には非常に楽しく素晴らしい１日を過ごすことができて本当に満足です。
まずは不満点から。ピックアップバスでお迎えにきてくれた運転手さんは乗り込むときの挨拶に返事もしてくれません。ただし、自己紹介のときだけはやたらとハイテンションでしたが。ガイド（と言えるのか？）のおじ様は会社のえらい人なのでしょうか？やりたい放題な印象でした。
現地ではユキコさんという女性がおり、すべてをこの方が取り仕切っています。実際、この方がいなければツアーは回らないでしょう。スタッフの若い男の子たちはみんな明るくて親切です。きっとユキコさんに日本人向けのおもてなしをいろいろ教わっているんだと思います。
ツアー内容にも偽りはなく、サンドバーは素晴らしいし、ホヌも見れたし、シュノーケリングもできました。
とにかくユキコさんあってのツアーです。彼女と、若いスタッフたちに感謝です。また行きたいと思います。もし、他のツアーと迷っている方がいたら、オススメします。

Fortunately, the weather was nice, and the scenery was incredibly beautiful. On the way to the sandbar, we were also able to see sea turtles swimming.

Even though the surrounding water was deep, the sandbar had a shallow depth up to our ankles, which felt quite strange. The snorkeling was great as the water was clear, and we were able to see not only fish but also sea turtles.

Although both of us could only speak a little English, the guide and crew casually spoke to us in Japanese, allowing us to have a fun time.

I definitely want to participate again when I come to Hawaii.

運よく天気が良かったので、景色がすごい綺麗でした。
サンドバーに行く途中で、海カメが泳いでいるのを見ることもできました。

周りは水深が深いのに、サンドバーは足首あたりまでの水深で不思議な感じでした。
シュノーケリングも海が澄んでいて、魚はもちろん、海カメも見れて良かったです。

2人とも英語を少ししか話せなかったんですが、ガイド、クルーとも気軽に日本語で話しかけてくれて、楽しい時間を過ごせました。

また、ハワイに来た時にも是非参加してみたいです。
