Waikiki Guided Beach Snorkeling Tour for Beginners with FREE Photos & Videos

Wonderful experience!

Reviewed by: Joni, 2022/09/10

Was a little nervous because I have never really enjoyed putting my face under water but Amber made me feel relaxed and comfortable. She was knowledgeable and you could tell that she enjoyed her job. Would recommend you tie your hair back so as to keep it out of your face. Had a wonderful experience.

Waikiki Guided Beach Snorkeling Tour for Beginners with FREE Photos & Videos

gentle introduction to snorkeling with excellent instructor

Reviewed by: Zai, 2022/08/28

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.

amazing cruise/tour

Reviewed by: Geraldine and family, 2022/08/15

We had a wonderful experience. The staff on our boat was very welcoming and friendly. My niece said the staff of Capt Allen were very attentive as well when they were in the water. Kudos/ mahalo to Capt Ruben for assisting us to snorkel especially since we (me n my sis in law) don't know how to swim. Our driver was energetic and friendly. He even stopped at Leonards bakery for us and made awesome food recommendations on the way. We had an overall great experience! We look forward to coming again.

Amazing experience!

Reviewed by: Kevin, 2022/08/11

We booked this fairly last minute since both my wife and I are not swimmers but we saw great reviews even for beginners and they were right!

We had an amazing time and saw a lot of turtles and fish, Casey was nothing short of amazing!! He was guiding us and helped ease my wife's fear of the water so that she could enjoy snorkeling a bit, really appreciated the help and hospitality!

Thank you again captain Bruce for the wonderful experience!

Nice Gem in Oahu

Reviewed by: Nancy C, 2022/08/09

Great experience especially for first time or non-swimmers! We did the morning cruise and weather was a little cloudy. Pick up/drop off in Waikiki area hotels or airbnb so that was a plus. Boarded boat from harbor to the sandbar and they had snacks (chips, granola bar) and beverages on board. Saw some fishes and turtles, there was a turtle swimming right next to us!! Overall a great time!!

This was definitely a highlight of our Hawaii vacation. Our whole family enjoyed this. It’s not easy finding activities that teenagers will enjoy and all 3 of mine loved it!

Snorkel Adventure

Reviewed by: PDouble, 2022/07/24

The family and I (including 9 and 6 yo) accompanied Captain Bruce Tour Company to snorkel at Kaneohe Bay. This was money well spent, especially considering the length of time provided for snorkeling and paddleboard equipment. The masks seemed clean and properly sanitized, the boat captain provided clear instruction and had sufficient staff on board and in the water to assist participants. Staff also knew where to find sea life, including turtles. Overall, excellent trip and value. A word of caution -- be alert for jelly fish.

Amazing!!

Reviewed by: Randilee , 2022/07/24

This was a phenomenal experience. The guides were great and the environment was beautiful. I want to give a shout out to Captain Robin who helped me overcome my extreme fear of snorkeling. I really wanted to be able to snorkel but I’m scared of deep water. He worked with me and another woman who couldn’t swim and we were both able to enjoy ourselves and see so many fish and turtles. He was incredibly patient and kind and I’m so grateful!

野生のイルカウォッチング&ウミガメシュノーケリングクルーズ ゆったり遅め出発プランあり<ハワイアンプレートランチ&アルコール4杯付き/ワイキキ送迎or現地集合>

日本人は私が一人だけ?

Reviewed by: Markun, 2022/07/11

コロナが収まりつつあるホノルルは、まだ日本人が少ない印象でした。
それでも今回は一人で参加させていただきました。
コオリナ方面へ移動して、ハーバーから素敵な船に乗船してさど揺れることなく移動して約20分でイルカの群れに遭遇しました。
それからシュノーケリングのポイントに移動してウミガメとの遭遇。
船に戻って一人でしたがお酒やランチで堪能しました。
船長をはじめ数人が日本語を話せたので一人旅の私に気遣っていただきました。
日本人が少ないので仕方ないかもしれませんが、早口の英語の説明はよほどの語学力がないと厳しいと思います。
可能であれば、説明の内容を日本語の和訳でプリントしたものを配布していただけるとありがたかったと思いました。
トータル的には満足したツアーでした。
