All Reviews for Beginner Snorkeling Tours

My fiancée and I had a great Oahu experience. The team on board made us very comfortable and explained each step with detail. They chose a great site to go in at and the personal attention when in the water was amazing. Hats off to the crew.

On the way to the sandbar, I was able to see sea turtles multiple times while snorkeling. It was a wonderful experience.
The scenery at the sandbar was very beautiful and impressive, but there were gravel and stones on the ground, which were quite painful to walk on barefoot, so I strongly recommend wearing water shoes.

サンドバーに向かう途中、シュノーケリング中など何回もウミガメに会うことができました。とてもいい経験になりました。
サンドバーは景色がとても綺麗で感動的でしたが、地面に砂利や石があって裸足だとかなり痛いのでマリンシューズを履くことを強くお勧めします。

At the sandbar, the water level was up to my knees. It's not possible to time your visit perfectly for low tide, and based on past comments, it seems it was deeper at times, so I thought those who could stand on the sand were quite lucky. However, while snorkeling, we encountered a honu swimming by us. Additionally, we found three resting under the rocks, so it's worth keeping an eye out for them. The footage taken by the staff with my GoPro while diving turned out to be the best shot of this trip.

サンドバーでは膝上までの水位がありました。ちょうど干潮を狙っていくことはできないし、過去のコメントを見ると、もっと深かったというのもあったので、砂の上に立てる人はかなりラッキーなのでは？と思いました。
でも、シュノーケリングでは私たちのそばを泳いでいくホヌに会えました。また、水中では、岩場の陰で休んでいるのも3匹も見つけたので、注意して探してみるといいでしょう。持って行ったGOPROで、スタッフの方が潜って撮ってくれたものは、この旅行のベストショットとなりました。

Pick from driver was prompt and on time. Once we arrived, we were given very clear instructions once on the boat, all the staff and the captain was very friendly and once we were on our way, everything we needed to know was explained clearly.

The actual scooter came on another boat and we were told how to get in and out of it, and I have to say the experience was unlike anything I've ever done before! We were only about 10-12 feet down but it was so wonderful to be in the water and not having to worry about anything.

The divers were very very professional and attentive, very friendly and very knowledgeable, and once we were done with the scuba scooter experience, it was a nice relaxing time on the boat to either go snorkeling or just enjoy the beautiful scenery around us!

Highly recommended, the staff was absolutely great and the captain was "cherry"!

Will definitely do it again next time we are in Honolulu! Highly recommended!!

I think it would be smooth to practice snorkeling in your home bath before going. It’s a good idea to take motion sickness medication to avoid getting sick during the trip. My child got sick on the bus, but we forced him onto the boat to the sandbar. I knew he would be fine once he could stand in the water.

The scenery was beautiful, and I was thrilled to see six turtles while snorkeling. The staff was friendly, and I felt safe and enjoyed myself.

I highly recommend this activity!

シュノーケリングが出来るように、自宅の風呂で練習してから行けばスムーズかと思います。道中は酔わないように酔い止めを飲むと良いと思います。うちは子供がバスの中で酔ってしまいましたが、半ば無理やり船に乗せサンドバーへ。足がつけば平気になるのはわかっていたので。
景色は素敵でシュノーケリング中に亀を6匹見つけたり感動ものでした。スタッフも親切だし安心して楽しめました。
オススメのアクテビティです！

I had se opportunity to get really close to the fishes and turtles I just would like to see corals. Also the scootter was too noisy when moving other than that everything was perfect.

Snorkeling and sea kayaking were both amazing experiences. Of course, the sandbar is in the best location, so there's no need to explain how great it is!

シュノーケリングもSAP 、シーカヤック も体験でき、とても最高でした。もちろん、サンドバーは、最高の位置に到着しますので、説明するまでもなく最高です‼️

Sea walking is available everywhere, but underwater biking is only here!
About 20 years ago, there was one at Manza Beach in Okinawa, but it couldn't operate due to the weather at that time, and it has been gone since then, which I found disappointing!
However, I found it in Hawaii this time and it was definitely the right decision to sign up without hesitation.

It's quite disappointing that the number of fish has significantly decreased compared to the old Hawaii, but considering this attraction over the fish, I definitely recommend it!

シーウォークはどこにでもあるが、水中バイクはここでしかない！
沖縄にも２０年くらい前に万座ビーチにあったが、その時は気候でできなく、それ以来なくなっており残念に思ってました！
しかし今回のハワイで見つけて迷わずに申し込みをして正解だった。

魚の数が昔のハワイに比べてかなり減っているのが残念でならないが、魚よりもこのアトラクションって考えると是非おすすめですね！

The crew members are kind and attentive. It was reassuring that they could speak Japanese. You can see schools of fish while snorkeling. Sea turtles come close enough to touch. They are protected animals, so you shouldn't touch them, but it's definitely an unforgettable experience. In any case, I recommend it because you can see the beautiful ocean!

クルーの方々が親切丁寧です。日本語が通じるので、安心感がありました。シュノーケリングも魚が群れになってるところが見れます。ウミガメめ触れられる距離に来てくれます。保護動物なので、触れてはいけませんが感動間違い無しです。とにかく、美しい海を見ることができるので、お勧めします！

I haven't received any updates regarding the photos taken underwater. Aside from that… the instructor was kind and pleasant, and the fish that came close were incredibly moving, almost like the images I had in mind.

You can experience the same level of excitement while scuba diving, but since my wife can't swim, the underwater scooter was a lifesaver.

[Additional note] I posted this, but after the VELTRA help desk contacted the organizing company, I was able to obtain the photos, so I changed my rating to the highest.

水中で写して貰った写真についての連絡がきません。
それを除けば…

…と投稿いたしましたが、VELTRAヘルプデスクから開催会社さまにご連絡いただき、無事に写真も入手できたことから、評価を最高に変更いたしました。

The shuttle bus driver was also very good at Japanese and introduced us to many gourmet spots. The staff were all unique and kind. The ocean was, of course, beautiful, and the food was delicious. I also participated in a stroll around Kailua Town. We rented bicycles and went to the beach. The bicycles and the distance were suitable for elementary school students, and we were able to go to Kailua Beach as well.

送迎のバス運転手さんも日本語が上手で、グルメスポットをたくさん紹介してくれました。
スタッフの方はユニークで優しい方ばかり。
海はもちろん美しく、食事も美味しかったです。
カイルアタウン散策にも参加しました。
自転車レンタルしてビーチにも行きました。
小学生低学年にも乗れる自転車&距離で、カイルアビーチにも行けました。

Me and my husband were on our honey moon and decided to do this! Such a blast! When you wait your turn you can snorkel, which I got to swim with a sea turtle! Then we got to go on the awesome scooters and you get to feed/touch the fish!
Also if you get sea sick or think you might take something before hand!
The staff was excellent! So nice and helpful! They all did an amazing job!

The beautiful sea and perfect weather allowed me to see many sea turtles up close. It's clear that they take great care of the turtles. I highly recommend it.

However, there was one issue: while returning to the boat from the sandbar, a sea turtle appeared near me. Someone threw the shrimp tails we had for lunch between the turtle and me. Was that a tourist's doing? Was it a staff instruction? I'm still unsure if feeding them was acceptable, and I missed the chance to ask, which leaves me feeling a bit unsettled.

綺麗な海、天気も最高で間近に多くのウミガメを見ることができました。また、ウミガメをとても大切にしていることがよくわかります。
非常におすすめです。
ただ一点、サンドバーから船に戻る時にウミガメが私の近くに現れました。さらに、ウミガメと私の間にランチでいただいたエビの尻尾を誰かが投げ入れました。あれは観光客の故意？スタッフの指示？エサを与えるこの行為自体OKだったのか未だにわかりません。聞きそびれてモヤモヤしてします。

My 10 year old absolutely loved this excursion! Being face to face with the underwater life was amazing. Would highly suggest for families. When not underwater you have the option to snorkel and chill along the boat.

The sea was murky, possibly due to the rain that had fallen the day before, and it didn't match the beautiful scenery I had expected from the photos. The other places I visited during my stay had clearer waters. However, I was able to experience snorkeling and also try stand-up paddleboarding, which I had wanted to do. I also encountered turtles several times, which was enjoyable. The lunch was even more delicious than I had imagined.

前日まで雨が降っていたこともあってか、海は濁っており、写真で見て期待していた景色、海の綺麗さではありませんでした。
海は、滞在中に行った他の場所の方が綺麗でした…。
しかし、シュノーケリングに加え、やってみたかったSUPも体験できました。また、亀にも何度も遭遇でき楽しむことができました。
ランチも想像以上に美味しかったです。

I was truly moved to swim with sea turtles!!! I have participated in several tours before that promised swimming with dolphins and sea turtles, but I was always disappointed because I never saw them. However, this tour was really amazing! I got to swim close to sea turtles and even encountered a sleeping one, which made me want to join again next time. The food was good, and the guides were all kind and funny, plus they spoke Japanese perfectly, so I think it's even better for those who might feel anxious about being away from home.

本当にウミガメと泳げて感動しました〜！！！
今までいくつかのツアーに参加して、イルカやウミガメと泳げるかもしれません！！などといったツアーに参加してきましたが、いつも見られず、ガッカリでしたが、今回のツアーは本当に凄かったです！
近くにウミガメが来て一緒に泳げたり、寝てるウミガメに出会えたりで次回もまた参加したいと思いました。
お食事も良かったし、ガイドさんたちがみんな優しくて面白くて、日本語もバッチリ通じるので家がが不安な人には更に最高だと思います。

This was one of the best activities I tried in Hawai’i.

The crew were friendly, helpful and always made time for you.
The trip out was fun too.

The Underwater Scooter was easy to navigate and the crew always helped if needed.
The video of the trip was worthwhile purchasing, as there is good clear footage.

The crew gave you bread to feed the fish from the boat and kept you entertained if you choose to not snorkel while waiting for the other people to take their turn on the Underwater Scooter

Highly recommended!

I had a wonderful half-day at the dreamlike sandbar, even though I was a bit anxious about bringing my baby. Everyone was very friendly, and I truly enjoyed the experience!

I was thrilled to swim with the sea turtles that come to work every day (laughs). They were so friendly, and my child was excited when a turtle came close and touched me!

The snorkeling took us to some really deep spots, but for small children, they provided large boogie boards with windows (for a fee) to take them along. They also made sure that both parents could participate separately, showing great attention to detail so that everyone could enjoy their time.

Even if you're not confident in swimming, there are other activities available (like paddle boarding), and it's a great recommendation for those who want to try a little bit of everything—walking on the sandbar, snorkeling, and swimming with the sea turtles! The lunch was delicious too (^ - ^).

Although the calendar indicated low tide, we couldn't walk on the beach, so I might have misunderstood how to read it, or perhaps it was just a low tide that didn't expose the sand. Also, it was just before the jellyfish warning period, but we did see a few jellyfish. It's nature, so that's a bit tricky.

All in all, it was a fun experience! Thank you!

憧れのサンドバー、赤ちゃん連れの参加で少し不安でしたが、皆さんとてもフレンドリーで楽しい半日を過ごさせていただきました！
毎日出勤してくる（笑）海亀さんと一緒に泳げたのが感動でした。とても人懐こい亀さんで、海亀さんが近寄ってきて僕に触ったよ！！とこどもが興奮していました。
シュノーケリングも、すごく深いところを行くのですが、小さな子供は窓がついた大きなビート板のようなもの（有料）に載せて連れていけたり、両親がそれぞれで参加できるように配慮してくださっていたり、参加した人が皆楽しんで帰れるような細やかな気配りが随所感じられて素晴らしかったです。
泳ぎに自信がなくても他に遊ぶ道具（パドルボート？とか）があったりしますし、サンドバーを歩いてみたい、シュノーケリングもちょっとしたい、他のアクティビティにも興味があるし、海亀さんとも泳ぎたい！！という、あれこれ少しずつ体験したい方にオススメです！お昼ご飯も美味しかったです(^-^)
カレンダーでは引き潮っぽかったのに砂浜は歩けませんでしたので、カレンダーの見方を間違えたのか、引き潮でも砂浜の出ない引き具合だったのか。あと、くらげ注意のギリギリ手前の日程だったのですが、少しくらげがいました。自然のことなので、その辺は難しいですね。
何はともあれ楽しかったです！ありがとうございました！

The scooter experience was great. Very unique. If you tend to seasickness go with the first group. Luckily, I did or I don’t think I could have done it. The area where we scootered is rough, and quite a few people got sick. I had hoped to snorkel and swim afterwards, but was too sick. My companions were just fine.
Saw several turtles and different kinds of fish. Also, morning trips are supposed to be calmer than afternoon.

OMG- my husband and I found this activity last minute, and we went ahead and booked with the hope that would be a cool experience. It went above and beyond on our expectations, and all I can say is that we are so happy we found you guys! My husband loves to snorkel, I on the other hand don’t.. I tried before and my hair usually gets stuck in the equipment, water comes inside of my ears and mouth... this is an Amazing alternative to snorkel, but much much better!
The whole staff was smooth and patient. You will see so many fishes, it’s def incredible! Worth every penny, and I even think they should charge more... 1st class experience!

A breathtaking spot often seen in TV shows and guidebooks! I wanted to go to the sandbar, so I signed up.
It was definitely the right choice! I highly recommend it!!
On my boat, Justin kept the energy up and it was a lot of fun. I tend to get seasick, so I took some motion sickness medication before joining. It didn't rock too much, so it wasn't a problem. The lunch on the boat was delicious too!
The sandbar had cloudy skies with occasional sunny breaks, and I took a lot of photos.
It would have been even better if it had been clear!
I had a great time snorkeling and paddleboarding.
I even got to see a sea turtle!!

テレビやガイドブックでよく見かける絶景スポット！サンドバーに行ってみたかったので申込みました。
参加して正解！オススメです！！
わたしの船はジャスティンさんが盛り上げてくれて楽しかったです。船酔いしやすいので酔い止めを飲んで参加しました。そんなに揺れずに気にならなかったです。船上ランチも美味しいですよ！
サンドバーは曇り空で時々晴れ間が見えて、写真たくさん撮りました。
快晴ならもっと良かったでしょうけど！
シュノーケルしたりSUPしたり楽しかったです。
ウミガメにも会えました！！

They were talking to everyone except us, completely ignoring us the whole time. It was a waste of time and money. I want my money back. I think the guide should prioritize the customers before enjoying their own meals and fun.

私達以外の人達にはみんなには話しかけていたのに、私達にだけ話しかけもせず、ずっとスルーでした。
時間とお金の無駄でした。
お金返してほしいです。
ガイドさんは自分達がご飯食べたり楽しむ前に、お客さんを優先したほうがいいと思いますよ。

This was such a fun experience to share with my wife. This was our honeymoon and we really loved the fact that they took great pics of us on the underwater scooters while feeding the fish. Even after our ~20min turn was over, we still had an hour to snorkel and swim around which was amazing! I’ve never been so close to sea turtles in my life!!

This was my second time going to the heavenly sea, and it was the right choice to use this company for the first time. I had an amazing time. The food was also very delicious!

天国の海へ行くのは2回目でしたが、初めてこちらの会社を利用し正解でした。最高にたのしめました。ご飯もとても美味しかったです！

The weather was wonderful, and the color of the sea was just as I expected! I was worried if my elderly mother would enjoy it, but when we got off the boat and walked in the shallow water, she was satisfied to see sea turtles and fish up close.

I was the only one who went snorkeling, but the sea turtles came so close that I could almost reach out to them! It was a happy moment where we could gaze at each other without touching.

If I have the chance to go to Hawaii again, I would love to participate!

お天気にも恵まれて、思った通りの海の色でした！高齢の母が楽しめるか心配でしたが、船から降りて、浅瀬を歩くと、海亀や魚がすぐ近くで見れて満足してました^_^
私だけスノーケリングしましたが、海亀は本当に手が届くところまで近づいてきてくれました！触らないように、でも見つめ合える幸せな時間でした。
また、ハワイに行く機会があったら、参加したいです！

Not only did I get to see the long-awaited sea turtles, but they also came up to me. I was told that since they are an endangered species, touching them would result in a fine, but the turtles were so friendly that they came up to me, and I couldn't avoid touching them.

For lunch, we had croissants filled with ham and cheese, macaroni salad, meatballs, and pineapple, which was okay. I was worried about motion sickness, so I paid $20 for a wristband. Its effectiveness was questionable. I would like more detailed information about Kailua Town. The shower was cold.

Kaeruya.

待望のウミガメが見れただけでなく、私によって来てくれて、絶滅危惧種だから触ったら罰金と言われていましたが、ウミガメの方から触れて来てくれて避けれなかったくらい人懐っかかったです。
お昼はクロワッサンにハムやチーズが挟んでいる物や、マカロニサラダ、ミートボール、パイナップルとまあまあ。酔い止めというリストバンドを心配だから20ドル払って買いました。効果は微妙。カイルアタウンは内容を詳しく書いて欲しい。シャワーが冷たい。
カエルヤ

I had a great time snorkeling, kayaking, and enjoying lunch, with plenty of free time to relax. I appreciated the staff's thoughtful attention to ensure we had fun. They even laid out towels on the bus for our return trip. My family, who joined me, also said they had a wonderful time, which was great to hear. We were able to see many turtles, and of course, the ocean was incredibly beautiful. I'm glad I went.

シュノーケリング、カヤックなどで遊んだり、ランチを頂いたり、十分な時間を自由に過ごせるのが楽しかったです。楽しく遊べるようにスタッフの方の心遣いもうれしいです。帰りのバスにはタオルを敷いてくれてありました。
一緒に行った家族も楽しかったといってくれていたので、よかったです。
亀もたくさん見ることができました。いうまでもなく、海はとても綺麗でした。行ってよかったです。

The turtles came to visit, and I was able to see so many of them! The guides were very kind, and the lunch was delicious too(^^) I want to participate again!!

カメさんが会いに来てくれて、たくさん見ることができました！
ガイドの方々もとても親切でしたし、ランチも美味しかったです(^^)
また参加したいです！！

I was invited to a wedding in Honolulu and the bride and I were looking at a few activities for us to do while there. I saw the video for the BOB and we immediately wanted to do it. We made reservation for the 4 of us. I’m not a swimmer and haven’t been since high school. The staff was so professional and caring. I love their motto of “we treat everyone as non swimmers...” Their patience is great with all participants. Very knowledgeable about their equipment, their staff and the environment. Each staff played their part in our safety and the for the fish and turtles! And the fact they not only take pictures, they give you memorable videos. This was an Amazing experience that we’ve encountered and we’re telling everyone in Chicago about it!! Thank you for sharing this experience! Saturday, July 13, 2019 8:30 am

The sandbar was disappointing because the water level was high, but snorkeling was great as I got to see sea turtles and schools of fish. Additionally, I had the opportunity to try stand-up paddleboarding and kayaking, which made for a very fulfilling experience. The staff were all kind and entertaining, which was wonderful. Thank you very much.

サンドバーは水位が高くて残念だったけど
シュノーケルは海ガメにあえたり、魚の群れに
出会えたりしてとっても良かったです。
その他にSUPを体験させてもらえたり
