All Reviews for Beginner Snorkeling Tours

The sea in heaven, I had only seen it on TV, but when I went there, it was amazing!

The staff actively offered to take photos for us.

Thank you very much!

天国の海、テレビとかで見ているだけでしたが
行ってみたら最高でした！

写真も「撮りますよ」と積極的にスタッフさんが声がけしてくれました。

ありがとうございました！

The staff and crew worked wonderfully together to create a pleasant experience for us during the tour. My elderly parents couldn't participate in many activities, but while we were resting on the boat, they pointed out swimming sea turtles and recommended meals, showing great consideration. It became a lifelong memory with my parents.

スタッフ、クルーの皆さんが、ツアーを盛り上げようと素晴らしいチームワークで気持ちの良い時間を過ごさせていただきました。　高齢の両親はあまりアクティビティに参加できませんでしたが、ボートで休んでいるときも、ウミガメが泳いでいることを教えてくださったり、食事を勧めてくださったりと、気配りをしてくださいました。　両親との一生の思い出になりました。　

My first sandbar experience.
I thought it was an unbelievable sight when I saw it on TV, so I joined this tour to see it in person.
Perhaps it wasn't the right season for the sandbar, as there was more seawater than I expected, which was a bit disappointing, but I was very satisfied to swim with sea turtles.
Next time, I want to change the timing and participate again!

初めてのサンドバー。
テレビで見てあり得ない景色だと思い、ナマで見たいと今回のツアーに参加させて頂きました。
サンドバーは時期じゃなかったのか、思ってたより海水が多くちょっと残念でしたが、ウミガメと泳げて大満足です。
次回は時期を変更して、再度参加したいです！

It was cold, and the water was up to my waist, but I was able to see turtles, and snorkeling was fun. The guides were very friendly, and it was an enjoyable tour. The food was delicious.

It would be better to have an underwater camera (you can either buy a toy camera or borrow a GoPro). Many people had waterproof phone cases.

On the way back, I didn't have much cash and had a bit of trouble with tips... (I was a bit careless since there were tours that didn't require tips).

In October, it was cold, possibly because it was cloudy. It might be a good idea to have a towel and a long-sleeved jacket.

寒くて、腰まで水が浸かりましたが、亀もみれたし、シュノーケリングもたのしかったです。ガイドのみなさんも非常に感じがよくて、楽しいツアーでした。食事もおいしかったです。
水中カメラ的なの(トイカメラを買うかGoproを借りるかできますが)があった方がいいです。(防水用の携帯ケースを持たれてる方がたくさんいました。)
帰り際で、現金があまりなくて、チップに少し困りました…(いらないツアーもあったので油断してました。)
10月で、曇っていたためか寒かったです。タオルと長袖の上着があったほうがいいかもしれません。

It seems everyone was able to see it, but I couldn't. What a pity!

皆見れたようでしたが私はダメでした。残念！

Such an amazing experience! Would definitely do this again! The crew that took us was great, as well :)

This is my second time participating, and it was truly fun and amazing. The turtles came really close, and I was able to see many fish. Overall, the view underwater was the best in every direction. I forgot everything else and felt completely recharged. And the delicious BBQ! Thank you, Rika!

2度目の参加ですが、本当に楽しい、最高です
カメさんもものすごい近くに寄ってきてくれたり、たくさんのさかなたちがみれたりと、
とにかく360度海の中での最高の景色
もう、すべて忘れられて、充電完了です
そして、美味しいBBQ
リカさん、ありがとうございました！

I am so glad we did the underwater scooters. Staff was professional and knowledge and very patient with the visitors with a language barrier. Would definitely do this again.

Having brunch on the ocean is an experience that is quite rare in everyday life, so it became a wonderful memory. My husband also seemed very satisfied. Since I didn't have a rash guard, I purchased an original rash guard before entering the water. I thought it was a bit expensive, but it was the right choice since it was a little chilly. Unfortunately, when I washed it, the color of the original rash guard faded significantly and transferred to other items. I hope this can be improved.

海の上でブランチが食べれるというのは日常から考えるとなかなか出来ない体験なので良い思い出になりました。主人もとても満足した様子でした。ラッシュを持ってなかったので海に入る前にオリジナルラッシュを購入しました。若干高いなと思いましたが、少し寒かったので正解でした。残念だったのが洗濯するとオリジナルラッシュの色落ちが激しく、他のものに色移りします。これは改良されると良いなと思いました

We were lucky to have good weather. The water level was up to my waist, but I was able to walk.

Snorkeling was fun too. (Even though there was a sea turtle right there, for some reason I couldn't see it...) The staff were polite and kind. If there are many people, you might be split into two groups, so there's a chance you could end up in the group that has lunch just before snorkeling. I think those who are sensitive to the boat and waves should be careful. I held back on what I wanted to eat and only had a little, haha.

The photo was taken while the smartphone was still in a zippered bag I bought at a Japanese Daiso. It turned out okay.

運良く天候に恵まれました。
腰まで水位がある状態でしたが、歩くことができました。

シュノーケルも楽しかったです。
(せっかく海ガメがすぐそこにいたのに、なぜか私は見れず…。)
スタッフの方も丁寧で親切でした。
人数が多いと、二手に分かれるため、シュノーケルの直前にご飯になるグループに当たる可能性があります。船や波の揺れに弱い方は要注意だと思います。私は食べたいところをぐっと抑えて少量にしました笑。

写真は日本のダイ◯ーで買ったスマホ用ジッパー付き袋に入れたままで撮ったものです。それなりに撮れました。

What a fab trip we had with Bobs underwater scooters, lots of fish to see and an added bonus of sea turtles, very well organised and a great experienced crew.

In April, I participated with my mother. The participants varied widely, including newlywed couples, families with small children, elderly couples, and adult groups.

In the morning, we were picked up next to DFS. We were staying very close to the Sheraton, but it was unfortunate that the Sheraton bus stop could not pick up non-guests.

On the day of the tour, it was sunny to slightly rainy in Waikiki, but it was pouring rain and gray skies at the location. Therefore, we couldn't see the beautiful scenery like in the pictures at all. However, I thought the tour itself was packed with activities.
1. Everyone walked to the sandbar.
2. Snorkeling was available for those who wanted to participate (snorkel sets and floatation devices were provided for free).
3. Lunch (those who didn't go snorkeling ate first, but the portion was sufficient).
4. Motorboat and SUP were available for those who wanted to try (free).

It's really regrettable about the bad weather. Even in poor weather, we were able to see turtles while snorkeling, and there were reasonably clear waters and colorful fish to enjoy. It was a rocky area where you couldn't touch the bottom, but we could borrow floatation devices, and there were quite a few fish. The lunch was quite varied for being on a boat, and the bone-in meat was particularly delicious.

The staff were kind and entertaining, but there were many items for sale that they recommended, so be cautious. On the other hand, you can buy quite a few things on the boat. If necessary, I recommend bringing marine shoes, rash guards, and an underwater camera (waterproof cover for smartphones) in advance. It's either barefoot or marine shoes on the boat.

The satisfaction level of the tour seems to depend a lot on the weather. Even with the pouring rain, I was somewhat satisfied with the price, so I can imagine I would have been very satisfied if it had been sunny. However, someone who participated on the same day mentioned it was their third time joining, and it had rained every time (laughs).

4月に母と二人で参加。新婚旅行風カップル、小さい子連れファミリー、老年夫婦、大人グループなど参加者層は幅広かったです。

朝はDFS横でピックアップ。シェラトンすぐ近くに宿泊でしたが、シェラトンバス停は宿泊者以外のピックアップができなかったのが残念。

当日はワイキキは晴～小雨。現地はザーザー降り＆灰色空。よって、写真みたいな景色は全然見れませんでした。。
でも、ツアー自体は盛りだくさんで良かったと思います。
１、全員で歩いてサンドバー
２、希望者のみシュノーケリング（シュノーケルセット・浮具貸出無料）
３、ランチ（シュノーケル行かなかった人が先に食べてるけど量は十分）
４、希望者のみ、モーターボート・SUP（無料）
ほんとに悪天候が悔やまれます。
悪天候でもシュノーケル中はカメが見れたり、それなりに透明な海やそれなりにカラフルな魚が見れたりして楽しめました。足が付かない岩場でしたが浮具も借りれたし、魚の数も結構いました。ランチも船内にしては種類豊富で、特に骨付き肉が美味しかったです。

スタッフさんは親切で面白いけど、勧められる販売品も多いので注意かな。逆に結構色々船内でも買えます。必要ならば、あらかじめマリンシューズ・ラッシュガード・水中カメラ（スマホ防水カバー）などを持っていくのがおすすめ。船内は裸足かマリンシューズです。

天候でかなり満足度が変わりそうなツアー。ザーザーでもこの値段でもまあ満足なので、晴れてたら大満足なんだろうな。ただ、同じ日に参加した人は3度目の参加だそうで、全部雨だとか(笑)

It was amazing to see the sea turtles. The BBQ lunch was also delicious.
There are morning and afternoon sessions, but I checked the tides in advance and chose the morning.

ウミガメにも会えて最高でした。BBQランチもおいしかったですよ。
午前と午後がありますが、前もって潮を調べて午前にしました。

The morning was early, but I had a wonderful experience!! The sunrise was from the ocean. The water level was unexpectedly up to my waist, but personally, it didn't bother me at all. I was very satisfied with the service from the captain and crew. It was a great experience. I will use this service again!!

朝は早かったけれど、とても素晴らしい経験が出来ました！！
日の出は、海の中から。
予想外に腰までの水位でしたが、個人的には全く気にならず。
キャプテンやクルーのサービスに大満足。
とてもいい経験が出来ました。
また利用します！！

It was Amazing and terrifying at the same time! I'd do it again.

This was one of my favorite activities on my vacation. The entire team was very nice and made sure we understood what we were doing and had a good time. I really enjoyed being able to be underwater to see the fish and sea turtles without having to learn to scuba dive or deal with snorkel gear below the surface of the water. The pictures and video from the activity were also very well done and a good price.

I think you can only truly be satisfied with this on a nice sunny day, but unfortunately, it was rainy and cloudy on the day of my visit, and the sea was murky. Although I was able to see sea turtles while snorkeling, I didn't feel a sense of wonder. If I have another opportunity, I would like to participate again. The staff were very cheerful, and their jokes were wonderful!

こればかりはお天気の良い日でないと本当に満足はできないと思いますが、残念ながら、当日は雨のち曇りで海が濁っていてシュノーケルで海ガメは見れたものの、感動という気分ではなかったです。
また機会があれば、参加したいです。
スタッフの皆さんはとても明るく、ジョークも素敵でした☆

Choosing a day when the sandbar looked beautiful was the right decision. It looked very beautiful. The food was also very delicious, and I had seconds! I was able to see turtles while snorkeling, and I was very satisfied.

サンドバーが綺麗に見える予定の日を選んで正解でした。
とても綺麗に見えました。ご飯もとても美味しくておかわりしました！シュノーケルでは亀も見れたしとても満足です。

It was a bit cloudy, but we were able to go to the sandbar on a very beautiful day! I'm not very good at swimming, but if the person you're going with can swim, I definitely recommend participating in snorkeling! Not only can you see many fish in a mysterious spot with a depth of 10 meters, but a sea turtle also popped up, and I was able to swim with it! The snacks were delicious, and since it was a buffet, I was very satisfied! However, it starts early in the morning, so it does require some stamina. (laughs)

少し曇りでしたが、サンドバーがとてもきれいな日に行けました！私はあまり泳ぎがとくいではありませんが、一緒に行く人が泳げるなら絶対シュノーケリングは参加をお勧めします！水深10mの神秘的な場所で、たくさんの魚を見ることができるだけでなく、ウミガメが顔を出してくれ、一緒に泳ぐこともできました！軽食もおいしく、ビュッフェ形式なので満足度が高かったです！ただ、朝早いのでなかなか体力が必要です。（笑）

I participated in the afternoon tour.

The sea turtles were friendly with the staff and came close to us, which was very exciting. The sea turtles are so cute!

I wasn't feeling well, so I skipped snorkeling, but in the meantime, I enjoyed stand-up paddleboarding and other activities.

If I have the chance, I would like to join the morning tour.

午後のツアーに参加しました。

ウミガメがスタッフさんたちになついていて、近くに寄ってきてくれたので、大変盛り上がりました。
ウミガメかわいい！

少し体調が悪かったので、シュノーケリングはやめておきましたが、
その間にスタンドアップパドルなどが楽しめました。

機会があれば、午前ツアーに参加してみたいです。

This was the highlight of our trip to Hawaii! My wife, who can't swim, managed to snorkel all the way to the end. We got close to a sea turtle and thoroughly enjoyed the Hawaiian waters! I highly recommend it!

今回のハワイ旅行で一番の当たりでした！
泳げない妻が、必死にシュノーケリングで最後まで泳ぎ切りました。
海ガメとも接近でき、ハワイの海を満喫しました‼️
おすすめです❗

This was amazing just like your first zip line experience except with a whole different technology and this time underwater. The staff was awesome and welcoming. Pictures/video for souvenirs and the definite conversations back home were very well done and superbly arranged by the divers - Kudos on the shots!

I had an amazing time! The staff were fun and shared a lot of interesting stories, so I was never bored. I laughed a lot! A turtle also came by, and I was able to swim with it. It was incredible! Thank you for taking so many photos as well. The barbecue on the boat was delicious, and I even had seconds. I thought I might get seasick, but since the boat was only moving for about five minutes and then we were just floating around in the sea, I didn't feel sick at all. I couldn't do snorkeling, but I borrowed various things like a bodyboard and stand-up paddleboard and had a great time playing.

すごーく楽しかったです！スタッフの方が楽しい方で、たくさん面白い事を喋ってくれてまったく退屈しませんでした。大笑いでした！亀さんも来てくれて一緒に泳ぐ事ができました。すごい！写真もたくさん撮っていただきありがとうございました(^^)船上のバーベキューも美味しかったです。おかわりもしました。酔うかなと思ったけど、船は5分くらいであとは海でぷかぷか遊んでたのでまったく酔いませんでした。シュノーケルが無理なので、ボディボードやスタンダップパドル等色々貸していただいていっぱい遊びました。

I've participated in the afternoon tour several times, but it seemed like the water level was lower before... This time, while walking to the sandbar, the water level reached about my mother's chest (she's 152 cm tall)... It was a bit disappointing, but there were very friendly sea turtles swimming around the boat, and the lunch was delicious. The waves were a bit high this time, so it looked tough to swim back, so I didn't go snorkeling and instead swam with the sea turtles around the boat.

何回か午後のツアーに参加してますが、以前のほうが水位は低かったような・・・。今回はサンドバーにたどり着くまで歩いてる際、母（身長１５２cm）の胸あたりまで水位が・・・。ちょっと残念でしたが、ボートの周りにとてもフレンドリーなウミガメ泳いでいたし、ランチもおいしかったです。
今回波が高めで泳いで帰ってくるのがつらそうだったので私はシュノーケリングには行かず、ボートの周りでウミガメと泳いでました。

From pick-up to drop-off, as well as during the bus ride, boat trip, and meals, everything was handled in Japanese. The guide was also an interesting person, so I was never bored. Of course, the ocean was fantastic, and I was able to get up close to sea turtles.

送り迎えから、バス、船、食事中まで、全て日本語で対応OKでした。
ガイドさんも面白い方で、飽きませんでした。
もちろん海も最高で、ウミガメにもまじかで接することが出来ました。

I was nervous about snorkeling after a long time, but the lecture in the shallow water made me feel at ease. I had a great experience with a sea turtle swimming right in front of me. The sandbar itself didn't have as low tide as I expected, and it wasn't quite like the pictures, but the weather was nice, and the waves were calm, making it comfortable.

久しぶりのシュノーケルで緊張しましたが、浅瀬でのレクチャーがあり安心しました。ウミガメが目の前を泳いで良い体験できました。サンドバー自体は思ってたより潮がひかず、写真のイメージではなかったけど、お天気も良く波も穏やかで快適でした。

The sandbar was incredibly beautiful and I was moved! We were blessed with great weather and got to see a large honu, creating wonderful memories! The guides were also very kind and easy to talk to, which left a great impression! I bought a sea band (anti-nausea band) here, and I really recommend it for those who are prone to motion sickness. I have a weak vestibular system that makes me dizzy even on airplanes, but wearing this band made the boat's swaying and even the return flight completely comfortable without any nausea!

サンドバー、とっても綺麗で感動しました！
天気にも恵まれ、大きなホヌも見られてとてもいい思い出ができました！
またガイドさんたちもとても親切で話しやすい方たちでとても印象が良かったです！
こちらで買える、シーバンド(酔い止めバンド)を購入したのですが、酔いやすい方はこちらを買うことを本当にお勧めします。
私は飛行機でもめまいがするほど三半規管が弱いですがこれをつけていたら、船の揺れはもちろん、帰りの飛行機も全く酔わずとても快適でした！

As I cautiously lowered my feet into the transparent sea, they touched the pure white grains of coral, and I found myself in a warm, quiet, and pleasant world. The turtles are not allowed to be touched, but they swam surprisingly close, providing an experience that far surpassed any aquarium visit. The Japanese staff accompanied us, offering explanations, services, and meals without any inconvenience, and they kept us smiling and entertained throughout. I found myself wishing to work here and would love to visit again.

透き通る海におそるおそる足を下ろすと真っ白なサンゴの粒に足が着き、温かく静かで気持ちのいい世界がそこにはありました。
タートルウォッチは自ら触る事は許されませんが、驚くほど近くまで遊泳してくれ、水族館など比較にならないほどの体験をさせてもらいました。
日本人スタッフも同行してくれており、現地での説明やサービス、食事まで何一つ不自由のなく、終始笑顔で楽しませてくれました。ここで働きたいわと思ってしまうような環境でまた利用させてもらいたいと思います。

It was fun. The tide was low, and we were able to see sea turtles. The food was average. You can check the low tide using an American app, so I recommend checking the date and time in advance. Also, if you want to drink beer, I suggest bringing your own.

楽しかったです。ちょうど潮も干潮で、ウミガメも見れました。食べ物は普通。アメリカのアプリで干潮が調べれれますので、日にち・時間は事前にチェックをお勧めします。また、ビールを飲みたい方は持参をお勧めします。

I have participated in similar tours several times, but thanks to the good weather, this time I saw the most beautiful sea I've ever seen. The snorkeling was a bit murky, but there were plenty of fish, and I was able to see turtles, which was great. Since I joined the morning session, there was a light meal included, but it was a buffet-style, so the amount was more than just a light snack! The bone-in short ribs were incredibly delicious! Also, turtles came to swim in the shallow waters, and I was able to see them up close. I want to participate again!

何回か同様のツアーに参加しましたが、天気が良かったこともあり今回が今までで一番綺麗な海が見れました。
シュノーケリングは少し濁ってましたが魚もたくさんいて亀も見れて良かったです。
午前参加だったので軽食がついていたのですが、バイキング形式だったので軽食とは思えない量でした♪♪骨付きのカルビがすごくおいしかったです‼
あと、浅瀬にも亀が泳ぎにきてくれて、すごく近くで見ることができました。
また参加したいです‼
