All Reviews for Beginner Snorkeling Tours

I encountered sea turtles, had a great time snorkeling, and was entertained throughout the journey. I think it was a very well-organized tour. Thank you very much.

海ガメにも遇えたし、楽しくシュノーケリングが出来たし、道中ずっと楽しませてくれたし、とても完成度の高いツアーだと思いました。
ありがとうございました。

Words can't explain...the entire experience was awesome from start to finish. From the excursion to the staff, top notch!

Thank you very much. I had a great time. I look forward to seeing you again. The weather was also very nice.

ありがとうございます。楽しかったです。
また是非よろしくお願いいたします。
天気もとてもよかったです

The weather was nice and the waves were calm, so I was able to enjoy myself without getting seasick. The sea was beautiful, the sea turtles were cute, and the food was delicious, so it was the best experience. I'm really glad I participated!

天気がよく波も穏やかだったので、船に酔うこともなく楽しく過ごせました。
海は綺麗だし、ウミガメはかわいいし、ご飯も美味しかったので最高でした。
参加して本当に良かったです！

The meeting place was easy to find, and the driver was very courteous, making the ride very comfortable. When we arrived at the port, a Japanese person explained everything, which made me feel very relieved. It was also reassuring that others could communicate in Japanese.

集合場所も分かりやすく、運転手さんも丁寧に送迎してくれてとても乗り心地良かったです。
港に着くと日本人が説明してくれてとても安心しました。他の人も日本語対応が出来てとても安心です。

I participated with four friends. Three of them are not very good at snorkeling, but they enjoyed it nonetheless.

I joined the sandbar tour about eight years ago, but this time there was no sandy area in sight at all. Being 160 cm tall, the water level was almost up to my waist. It might have been high tide, but it felt just like a regular sea.

Still, I was able to see a lot of sea turtles, which I was very satisfied with. I also felt that it would have been better if there had been an explanation of the snorkeling masks and other equipment on the boat rather than after entering the water.

友人4人で参加しました。3人はシュノーケリングが得意ではありませんが、それなりに満喫しておりました。
サンドバーは8年ほど前に参加してますが、今回は砂地が全くなく見当たらず、160㎝の背の高さの私は、ほぼ腰あたりまで水面が来ていました。満潮だったかもしれませんが、それにしても普通の海としか感じませんでした。
それでも、沢山のウミカメを見ることができました。その点はとても満足しました。
また、海に入ってからではなく、船上で、シュノーケリングマスク等の説明があったらよかったなと感じました。

I participated with my daughter. The staff members were very kind and fun people. We were able to go to places we couldn't reach on our own and met many turtles, even swimming with them! It was a wonderful tour. However... I am very prone to seasickness, and I forgot to bring motion sickness medication to the hotel (tears), so I wasted half of the tour (free time) unable to do anything. I am really disappointed about that. I truly think the tour itself, including the staff, was absolutely amazing! I plan to take revenge next time (^o^)/

娘と二人で参加しました。スタッフの皆さんがとても親切で楽しい方々でした。自力では行けない場所に行け沢山の亀さんにも会え、一緒に泳ぐ事が出来る！とても素晴らしいツアーでした。ただ…私がとても波酔い船酔いしやすいのに、ホテルに酔い止め薬を忘れて（涙）ツアー半分（自由時間）を何も出来ない状態で無駄にしてしまいました。その事が残念でなりません。ツアーは自体はスタッフの方々含め本当に本当に最高だと思います！次回またリベンジするつもりです(^o^)/

The site mentioned it was about 1.5 feet, but in reality, the depth where we got off the boat was 130 cm, and in shallow areas, it was around 80 cm. The weather was nice, so the scenery was beautiful!

We were able to see sea turtles about three times, and the kids were thrilled.

The snorkeling experience was as expected, but since it was our first time, I felt reassured by the staff's safety-first attitude.

For those who didn't participate in snorkeling, we had some playtime with the equipment, and thanks to the small number of kids, my child (5 years old, who can float but can't swim) was able to snorkel near the boat. One of the staff members spoke Japanese, and everyone was friendly, making it a fun experience.

I managed without marine shoes, but since Waikiki Beach has quite a few painful stones, I thought it would have been better to buy them for the entire stay in Hawaii.

サイトでは1.5feetくらいでしたが、実際はボートから降りた地点で130cm、浅いところで80cm程度でした。天気が良かったこともあり充分景色はきれいでした！
ウミガメも3回くらい見れて子供は大喜びでした。

シュノーケルはこんなもんかといった感じでしたが、初めてやるぶんにはスタッフの方が安全第一の姿勢だったので安心できました。

シュノーケル不参加組は道具を出して頂いてお遊びタイムでしたが、子供が少なかったおかげか、うちの子（5歳、プールに浮かべるが泳げない）はボートの近くでシュノーケルをさせていただいたようです。
スタッフの方は日本語ができる方が1名はおり、皆さんフレンドリーで楽しく過ごせました。

マリンシューズは無くても何とかなりましたが、ワイキキビーチも結構石が痛いのでハワイ滞在全体を通して買えば良かったと思いました。

The weather was unfortunately cloudy, but the bus transfer staff and the Japanese staff were very nice, even giving me advice on my GoPro.

The local staff were cheerful and energetic, making for a very enjoyable tour!

I was able to see many sea turtles, and the BBQ lunch after snorkeling was delicious. I really enjoyed the ocean at the sandbar!

天気はあいにくの曇でしたが、
バスの送迎スタッフさん、日本人のスタッフさんもとてもいい人で、持参していたGoProの
アドバイスまでして頂きました。

現地のスタッフさんも、
明るく元気でとても楽しいツアーになりました！

海ガメもたくさん見ることができ、
シュノーケリング後のBBQランチも美味しく、
サンドバーの海を満喫することができました！

I had wanted to go for a long time, and this time my wish came true. The weather wasn't very good, but even in the shallowest areas, the water depth was up to my knees. I should have checked the tide times a bit more and planned my schedule accordingly. After that, I went to Maui, and the ocean there was definitely much more beautiful. I got to see turtles!

ずっと行きたかったのですが、今回念願叶い参加しました。天気もあまりよくなかったこともありますが、一番浅いところでもひざ下までの水深で、もう少し満ち引きの時間を調べて日程を決めればよかったです。
その後Mauiに行きましたが、海は断然そちらの方が綺麗でした。
亀には会えました！

It seems that a sandy beach forms in the middle of the sea due to the tides, but when I participated, the water was already up to my waist, so I couldn't walk on the beach.

I went snorkeling to see turtles and fish in deeper areas, but I gave up halfway. I was thinking, "Oh, I wanted to see them..." when the staff called a turtle over (was it their pet? lol), and I was able to swim with the turtle in shallower water! So, don't worry if you can't snorkel... it's not a big deal!

After that, we played on stand-up paddleboards and had a BBQ lunch on the boat! The food was really delicious!! The staff were bright and funny people! I wish I had given them a tip (;^_^A.

満ち引きによって海の真ん中に砂浜ができるみたいなのですが、私が参加したときはもう腰くらいまで海水があって砂浜を歩くことはできませんでした。

シュノーケルで深いところまで行ってカメや魚を見るのですが、私は途中までいって断念。あーあ、見たかったなー・・・と思っていたらスタッフさんがカメを呼んでくれて（スタッフさんのペット？笑）浅いところでもカメと泳ぐことができました！
ですからシュノーケルできないし・・・と残念に思わなくて大丈夫です！
そのあとはスタンドアップボードで遊んだり、船の上でBBQランチ！
料理がとてもおいしかったです！！
スタッフさんも明るくて面白い方でした！チップ渡せばよかった(;^_^A

The staff members were very good! It was reassuring because everything was easy to understand in Japanese. The malasadas and lunch we had on the boat were even more delicious than we expected.

スタッフの方々がとても良い！日本語でわかりやすいので安心でした。船の上で食べるマラサダとランチが期待以上に美味しかったです。

The sandbar was more beautiful than I expected, and I was moved. Kailua Beach was also breathtaking. The Lanikai Pillbox was steeper than I anticipated and quite challenging.

サンドバーが予想以上に綺麗で感動しました。
カイルアビーチも絶景でした。
ラニカイピルボックスが予想以上に急斜面で
大変でした。

The staff and guides were all kind, and they took wonderful photos for us. I was a bit anxious about when to give a tip, but they helped by indicating the right timing. I'm glad I went snorkeling.

スタッフ、ガイドさんたちがみなさん親切でステキな写真も撮っていただけました。どのタイミングでチップを渡すのかわからずソワソワしていたのですが、むこうからタイミングを示していただけたので助かりました。シュノーケリングやってよかったです。

I had a great time with my close friends at the beautiful sea, playing with sea turtles and enjoying snorkeling! The barbecue was incredibly delicious, and the staff were so much fun; it was the best! I was so happy to laugh so much on a magical carpet floating on the sea. I want to go again! Hawaii is amazing. This tour was awesome!

仲の良い仲間と綺麗な海、ウミガメと戯れ、シュノーケリングも楽しみました！！
バーベキューもめちゃくちゃ美味しくて、スタッフの皆さんが楽しくて最高でした！！海に浮かぶ魔法のじゅうたん一枚であんなに笑えるとはすごく笑って幸せでした。
また行きたいです！！
ハワイサイコー
このツアーサイコー
でした。

The weather was rainy and quite cold, but I was very excited to finally see a sea turtle. I received a ticket to download photos, but I thought $10 for each photo download was too expensive.

天気は雨が降ったり、気温もかなり寒かったですが、念願のウミガメが見れてとても感激しました。写真をダウンロードできるチケットを頂きましたが、写真のダウンロードが１枚$10は高すぎるなと思いました泣

The weather was cloudy, and there was no sunlight, so it didn't turn out to be what I was expecting. Checking the weather is important before going.

天気が曇りで、太陽の光がなかったので、あまり期待していたものにはなりませんでした。
行くときは、天気のチェックが重要です。

The sandbar was a bit different from the photos, with a depth reaching from the thighs to the waist. It seems that the water depth changes depending on the season and weather.

At the sandbar, you can walk around and take photos! Our guide also took some pictures for us!

After that, only those who wanted to went snorkeling. The snorkeling spot is a short walk from the sandbar, but I was surprised by how suddenly the water got deep (laughs). Unfortunately, we didn't see any turtles while snorkeling.

After snorkeling, we had lunch, which was very delicious! The meat, in particular, was exquisite!

During lunch, a turtle came close to the boat, and we were able to see it up close! There were also many pufferfish around!

Finally, we got to do some stand-up paddleboarding (SUP), and it was a lot of fun. Thank you!

サンドバーは写真とは少し違い、太もも～腰丈くらいまでの深さがありました。季節や天気によって水深が変わるようです
サンドバーでは歩いて写真など撮れます！ガイドさんにも撮っていただきました！
その後、希望者のみシュノーケルをします。シュノーケルスポットは、サンドバーから歩いていくのですが、いきなり水深が深くなりびっくりしました(笑)シュノーケルでは亀さんは見れませんでした
シュノーケル後、ランチとなりますが、とても美味しかったです！特にお肉、絶品でした！
ランチ中に、亀さんが船の近くに来てくれて、間近で見れました！フグさんもたくさん居ました！
最後にSUPもできて、とても楽しめました、ありがとうございます！

Great crew, fantastic weather, awesome marine life all and all fantastic trip

The lecture is given in Japanese at the beginning, so there are no issues with understanding how to do it.

You can't really move the scooter by yourself, but you can see the fish up close!

I was able to catch a glimpse of a sea turtle!

However, while the scooter part is fine, you need to wait on the boat for about an hour, which can make you quite seasick, haha.

If your turn for the scooter is later, I think the seasickness will go away by then.

Since there is air around your head, you can dive without stress, which is a new sensation.

日本語で最初にレクチャーしてくれるのでやり方は問題ないです。

スクーターはあまり自分で動かせませんが、魚たちを間近で見ることができます！

ウミガメをちらっとみれました！

ただ、スクーター中はいいのですが、船の上で1時間くらい待つ必要があるのでだいぶ酔います笑

スクーターの順番が後ならそこで酔いはなくなると思います。

頭の周りが空気なので、ストレスなくダイビングできるので新感覚です。

This is a must do adventure, and well worth the price. I was impressed and pleasantly surprised at the 1-to-1 ratio of divers to BOBs in the water. They really make sure everyone is comfortable in the BOBs and are doing okay throughout the dive. The 1 hour of free time is basically during the time others are in the BOBs. They provide snorkeling equipment if you want to hop in the water during that time. We had a gray and windy day, so it was quite cool on the boat during the off time. So if your weather is not the best, consider bringing a windbreaker.

There was more water than I expected, but it was a very enjoyable experience as I got to see many fish and turtles while snorkeling. I was able to create wonderful memories with my family, thank you very much.

思っていたより水があったのですが、シュノーケリングでたくさんの魚や亀が見れてとても楽しい体験でした。
家族で楽しい思い出を作る事が出来ました、ありがとうございました。

We were lucky to arrive at Sandbar just as the tide was going out, and we were able to see some incredibly beautiful scenery. While snorkeling, we spotted fish and swimming sea turtles! The water was a bit murky. Even for those who can't swim, the regular sea turtles were swimming close to the boat, so we were able to see them a lot. A few things to keep in mind: it can be cold, so bring a jacket, bring a waterproof case for your smartphone or camera, and take measures against seasickness. I got a little nauseous on the bus ride there, so I bought a seasickness band on the boat.

サンドバーは運良くほぼ潮が引いた時に来れて、とても美しい景色を見ることができました。シュノーケリングでは魚や泳ぐウミガメが見れました！海は少し濁っていました。泳げない方でも、常連のウミガメが船の近くで泳いでくれてたくさん見ることができていました。注意点としては寒いので上着を持参、スマホやカメラの防水ケース持参、酔い止め対策をすることです。私は行きのバスで少し酔ってしまったので、船上で酔い止めバンド購入しました。

After our wedding ceremony in Hawaii, we participated with ten family members. I originally joined on the recommendation of an acquaintance, but it was even more enjoyable than I expected! Our guide was Japanese and very entertaining, and we thoroughly enjoyed the scenery as well as snorkeling. We got to see sea turtles up close!

I didn't have high expectations for the BBQ on the boat, but it was actually quite delicious! There was an all-you-can-eat selection of meat, fruit, and rice, and the brownie for dessert was also tasty.

It was a great time for everyone, from their 20s to 60s. Thank you very much!

ハワイ挙式の後、両家10名で参加しました。
元々知り合いの勧めで参加したのですが、期待以上に楽しめました！
ガイドさんも日本の方で面白く、景色はもちろんシュノーケリングも存分に楽しめました。ウミガメもものすごく近くで見れました！
また、船の上でのBBQはあまり期待していなかったのですが普通に美味しかったです！お肉もフルーツもご飯も食べ放題で、デザートのブラウニーも美味しかったです。
20〜60代みんなが楽しめる時間になりました。
本当にありがとうございました！

This time, we participated as a family of four with two children. I thought we might not be able to do many activities since my 3-year-and-10-month-old son is really mischievous and my 1-year-and-5-month-old daughter has just started walking, so I couldn't take my eyes off them. However, the staff were really wonderful with the kids and played with them, which encouraged other tour guests to join in as well. Thanks to that, my husband and I were able to take turns snorkeling, and we even encountered a sea turtle!

We played in the sea a bit too much, so we couldn't enjoy the BBQ as leisurely as we would have liked, but it was really delicious!

If I had to mention something, it would be that the weather was cloudy and a bit chilly. If the weather had been better, it would have been even more amazing!

My son wants to see Kaz again, who played so well with him, so if we have the chance, we would definitely like to participate again!

今回2人の子連れで、家族4人での参加でした。
3歳10ヶ月の息子が本当にやんちゃ盛りな上に1歳5ヶ月の妹が歩き始めて動くようになったので、目が離せく、アクティビティはあまり出来ないかもなぁ…と思っていましたが、スタッフの方々が子供を本当に可愛がってくれて、遊んでくれたので、その流れで他のツアー客の方々も一緒に遊んでくれました☆
お陰で主人と交代でシュノーケリングも出来ましたし、海亀とも遭遇出来ました☆
海で遊びすぎて、BBQはあまりゆっくり食べられませんでしたが、とっても美味しかったです！！

しいて言うなら、お天気が曇っていて少し寒かった事かな！
天気が良ければもっと最高でした！

息子が、1番仲良く遊んでくれたカズさんにまた会いたいそうなので、機会があったらまた是非参加したいです！！

This is my second time participating. Last time, I was satisfied with snorkeling, but this time, after a delicious meal, I also tried stand-up paddleboarding (SUP). The staff were kind and supportive, and I was able to stand up somehow.

2度目の参加です。
前回はシュノーケリングで満足でしたが、今回は美味しい食事の後、SUPにも挑戦しました。
スタッフさんが優しく支えてくれてなんとか立つことが出来ました

My husband and I did this excursion together. He loves scuba diving, so he enjoyed it, but not as much as he does diving. I, on the other hand, get claustrophobic diving, so I LOVED this because I didn’t have to have anything touching my face/a mouthpiece. While under water, we saw tons of fish and sea turtles. In addition to scuba scootering, we got to snorkeling while we waited our turn for the scooters, so it was like two excursions in one. The staff were all great too!

We were blessed with great weather, and it turned out to be a wonderful day!! We walked along the sandbar surrounded by sea turtles!! The staff were very friendly, and above all, the lunch was incredibly delicious ^_^!!!

天気にもめぐまれとても素敵な一日になりました！！
ウミガメにかこまれながらサンドバーを歩きました！！
スタッフの方々もとても気さくで、なんといってもランチがすごく美味しかったです^_^！！！

After being picked up at the hotel in Waikiki, we traveled for about an hour in the van to the North Shore. If you're worried about motion sickness, I recommend taking some medication beforehand.

Once we arrived, we were guided to the sandbar by a humorous guide and crew members.

If you wish to go snorkeling, you'll receive a brief lesson and wear a life jacket before walking a few meters from the sandbar and swimming out into the ocean.

It was enjoyable to see sparkling fish and turtles swimming leisurely around the sandbar. During the boat ride to and from the location, we learned about the history of the sandbar and Hawaii, which was very educational.

If I have the chance to travel to Hawaii again, I would love to participate in this activity once more.

ワイキキのホテルでピックアップしてもらったあとにノースショアまで行くのでおおよそ1時間くらいはバンに揺られます。
心配な方は酔い止めを飲んでおくのが良いかと思います。

現地に着いてからはユーモラスなガイドとクルーの方にサンドバーを案内してもらえます。

シュノーケリングを希望する場合は簡単なレッスンを受けて救命胴衣を着用した上でサンドバーから数m歩いて沖を泳ぎます。

キラキラとした魚やサンドバーを悠々と泳ぐ亀を見ることが出来て楽しかったです。
行き帰りの船上ではサンドバーが産まれた経緯やハワイの歴史を説明して貰え、勉強になりました。

次にハワイに旅行することがあってもまた、参加させて貰いたいなと思います。

We participated as a couple. Since it was an afternoon tour, the water level seemed a bit high, reaching about waist height. It was sunny and beautiful, but... We spotted turtles several times as they were being fed. The lunch was a buffet style and delicious.

夫婦で参加しました。午後のツアーだったので、水位は少し高かったみたいで、腰くらいありました。晴れててキレイではありましたが。。亀は餌付けされているので、何度も目撃ました。お昼ご飯は、バイキング形式で美味しかったです。
