All Reviews for Snorkeling Cruises & Tours

10 out of 10 experience ! It’s a must do if your in Hawaii !

The weather was bad, so the clarity of the sea was questionable, but the encounter rate with honu (sea turtles) was high, and I had a valuable experience. 😊

天気が悪かったので海の透明感は微妙でしたが、
ホヌ（ウミガメ）の遭遇率が高く、
貴重な体験が出来ました(^^)

The crew members and the musicians are so helpful, awesome and friendly!!!! Great live music!

I booked this activity for 24 of my friends and family so that we could hang out and do something fun after my wedding. The whole day was so great! The crew members were fun and helpful! Everyone in my group enjoyed the day. When I got stung by a Man-O-War, which I was warned about, the crew helped me immediately and I still had the best time!

We went with a family of 35. They had no issues accommodating our party. Everyone from the 2 year old kids to the grandmas had a blast.

5 out of 5 for the live music too!

Great fish n the water, easy to adjust to snorkels!

My family had a blast this day, it surely knocked us out- its a lot of fun activities however it is a full day in the sun!!

We had a great time we had a group of 30 adults children and little children. Everyone was so kind and helpful. They help the kids paddleboard and some of us snorkel. Overall great experience! Would recommend to everyone! Thank you all! We had a wonderful time!!!

As a student, I was debating whether to go until the last minute due to the tour price, but I was so moved by the beauty of nature that I forgot all about the money. Even if you can't swim, you can hold onto something like a float, so it's reassuring, and I got to see sea turtles and many fish. I definitely recommend participating!

学生なので、ツアー料金の観点から直前まで行くか諦めるか悩んでいましたが、お金なんてどうでもよくなるくらい綺麗で自然の素晴らしさに感動しました。泳げなくても浮輪的な物に捕まって引っ張ってくれるので安心ですし、ウミガメやたくさんの魚にも会えました。
ぜひ参加してみてほしいです！！

The snorkeling went deeper than I expected, but I was able to see sea turtles, and it was a lot of fun. I would like to participate again.

シュノーケルは思ったより深い場所まで行きましたがウミガメを見る事が出来とても楽しかったです。また参加したいです。

The view is amazing, and everyone should go in the volleyball game. It is fun!

The staff on the boat were all friendly, and I was able to enjoy myself throughout the trip! There were staff members who spoke Japanese, which was reassuring. We were able to see sea turtles safely! Adults went snorkeling, and for the kids, there was something like a surfboard that allowed them to see below, so we could swim together to deeper areas. If you are moving on your own, be careful not to get confused as there are multiple tour companies at the meeting point.

船のスタッフのかたみんなフレンドリーで終始楽しむことが出来ました！日本語が話せるスタッフもいたので安心です。無事にウミガメにも会うことができました〜　大人はシュノーケリングで、子供には下が見えるサーフボードのような物があったので、一緒に深い所まで泳ぐことができました。
自分で移動する場合、集合場所に複数のツアー会社があるため、間違えないように注意が必要です。

This is a great experience for the whole family. Snorkeling, SUP, Kayaking and so much more for everyone in the family. Friendly and helpful stuff makes the fun safer and easier.

KBOS provided a great well rounded experience. Staff is very friendly and accommodating and really knew what they were doing. Various activities for all types. Would reccomend the bumper tubes and banana boats!

Staff was friendly and was an amazing experience. We enjoyed every part of it. Recommend to take nausea medicine if you’re sensitive. 2 of us did get motion sick.

Really enjoyed every single minute spent on this trip thanks to the entire crew. I really loved the live music and the snorkeling is definitely second to none!

I'm for sure will take this tour the next time I'm back to Oahu.

Pleasant time on the waves in the sun and breeze. Sadly, almost no fish, no turtles, but interesting pink and white sea cucumbers (apparently unique to Kaneohe and Pearl Harbor). Would do it again, but don't need four hours....

My boyfriend and I visited Honolulu for a week to celebrate my 30th birthday. With so much to do on the island, it can be overwhelming to choose the right excursions, especially if you’re only there a few days. This was hands-down the most fun thing we did the ENTIRE trip! The crew and captain were so accommodating and cool. It’s definitely worth the extra cost to do the banana boat or tube ride ;-)

The awesome crew, live music and activity options for the sandbar make this perfect for solo travelers, couples or even families. Do not hesitate to book!

We had so much fun!! Everyone was very friendly and the people on our boat group made it extra fun! I just wish it was longer than 3 hrs. My husband and I had a great time snorkeling! I would definitely recommend this company to anyone who wants to go to the sandbar! I love that they also allowed us to bring a cooler and drinks!

This was a great experience. The bus came to hotel exactly the time that was indicated. The location was fantastic, sea was calm.

It is a lot of fun, but make sure you apply sunscreen to every inch of your body to avoid sunburn . Sunburn can be extremely uncomfortable

Overall, this experience was awesome! The sandbar was about a 3 mile kayak away from where you dock. Not super difficult, took us about 30-40 minutes to get there and once we did, it was awesome. the tide was a little high, the water went up to just below my neck and I'm 6 feet tall. We went out at 11 am. There's not much to see snorkel-wise at the sandbar, which was relayed to us by the staff setting us up. It was just a nice place to stand in the middle of the ocean and have a snack or two. They were also clear on where go on the sand bar and where the restricted zone was.

After the sandbar we went out to the coral reefs just around the corner of where we started. By then though, the sun wasn't too bright (it was a gloomy-ish day). we could only see maybe 10 feet in front of us in the water and all the fish were either hiding or just not there. Coral was nice to see and swim around though. Saw sea turtles in the distance but none in the water while we were in it. Finding the snorkel zones were actually pretty difficult. We spent about 20-30 minutes finding good spots, but there are no markers out there so I'm not even sure if we were in the spots they marked on the map. Only 2 other kayakers came to this area, tried looking around but all gave up after maybe 5-10 minutes.

Still had fun overall though, would do it again. Hopefully they add markers out of the water next time though.

We heard we had to try snorkeling on our first trip to Hawaii but neither of us are super-confident swimmers, especially not in the ocean. If that sounds like you, START HERE. This snorkeling experience ended up being just right for two reasons 1) excellent instructor, Zola and 2) excellent location, Magic Island Lagoon. I was excited to try snorkeling, but when it came time to put the mask on, stick my face in the water, and breathe - I couldn't do it. After patient and friendly coaching from Zola, I was finally floating around and breathing under water. I owe it to Zola that I felt ready to sign up for another, more challenging, snorkeling tour later in the week where I got to see more fish and turtles. The location is this peaceful, blue and beautiful lagoon that's protected from the ocean's strongest waves by a barrier. The water is clear and just lovely to swim in. I would go back just to enjoy the beach.

We had a great time snorkeling. We saw many fishes, and 3 turtles!

Really well organized. Fun time with the whole family!

This time, I participated in the afternoon. The reason is that the sandbar can be seen during low tide, and when I checked the time, it turned out that the afternoon was the best time that day. However, the beach did not appear (laughs). It seems that timing is really important, and even during low tide, if the season is different, the beach may not be accessible (what a shame).

However, regardless of that, this tour allows you to enjoy activities as long as time permits. You can play as much as you want with activities like stand-up paddleboarding, kayaking, snorkeling, and beach volleyball! In particular, snorkeling was great because it was at a point where many fish gather around the coral reef, which I think was much better compared to other beaches.

The beach itself is white, so when the water level goes down to a certain extent, you can enjoy activities in a very beautiful place. It was the perfect spot for enjoying the scenery while engaging in activities in the sea!

今回は、午後に参加しました。というのも、サンドバーが見られるのが干潮の時ということで、時間を確認したところ、その日は午後が一番良かったからです。
が、砂浜は現れず笑
というのも、本当にタイミングが大事なようで、干潮のタイミングでも季節が違うと砂浜に上がってというのができないようです。（残念）

しかし、関係なしに、このツアーではアクティビティが時間の許す限り楽しめます。SAP、カヤック、シュノーケリング、ビーチバレーなど遊び放題！特にシュノーケリングはサンゴ礁に魚がたくさん集まるポイントで、これは他のビーチに比べてもとても良かったと思える点です。

砂浜自体は白いので、水位がある程度下がれば、とても綺麗な場所でアクティビティを楽しむことができるので、景色を楽しみつつ、海でのアクティビティには最高の場所でした！

The tour includes light snacks on board. The staff was very friendly, and it was an enjoyable tour. There are also guides in Japanese, so even families with small children can have a great time.

船上にて軽食付きのツアーとなります。スタッフがとてもフレンドリーで楽しいツアーでした。日本語で案内もあるため小さな子供連れでも楽しめます。

Fun! The cheeseburger was the best.

kind of crowded when everyone is snorkeling

But overall it’s a great activity!

This was the best way to cap off our O'ahu vacation by having a relaxing snorkel, a crazy banana boat ride, easy paddle boarding and just chilling in the ocean surrounded by some of the most gorgeous scenery you could find anywhere. The crew were fantastic and so friendly, they were patient with everyone and even got to chat with Preston about him moving from Mesa, AZ (we're from Scottsdale, AZ). If we are ever in O'ahu again, we are absolutely doing this as it was so fun an easy and one of the most enjoyable things we did while on the island. Definitely worth our money and time - give them a try, you won't be disappointed.

I think it's better to choose a tour that is as close to low tide as possible when making a reservation. The depth of the sandbar is about waist-deep, and the beautiful shallow waters seen in the promotional photos continue for a long stretch. While we can't choose the weather, I believe that without strong sunlight, the contrast in photos won't be as striking. It was cloudy in the morning for us, but as we headed out to sea, the clouds cleared, and the sun came out, giving us the best experience. Of course, we also enjoyed snorkeling with sea turtles. I brought my prescription underwater goggles and wore a life jacket, allowing me to swim in the shallow waters of about 2 to 3 meters and see the sea turtles. It truly became a wonderful memory for our family of four. Thank you very much.

予約時になるべく干潮の時間帯に近いツアーを選択したほうが良いと思います。サンドバーの深さが腰程度となり広告写真で見られる美しい浅瀬がずーっと続きます。また天候は選べませんが太陽光線がしっかりないと写真のようなコントラストにならないと思います。私たちは朝曇っていたのですが沖に出ていくタイミングで雲が無くなり太陽が顔を出し最高の経験をさせてもらいました。もちろんシュノーケリングでウミガメも堪能しました。私は水泳用の度付きの水中眼鏡を持参しライフジャケット着用で水深2，3mの浅瀬を泳ぎながらウミガメを見ることが出来ました。本当に家族4人で良い思い出となりました。ありがとうございました。
