underwater scooter 水中スクーター

Reviewed by: ヨコタ

We participated as a family. It seems that the waves were rough on the day we joined, so while others were using the underwater scooters, we had to wait on the boat or could go snorkeling, but many people ended up feeling seasick. I thought the underwater scooter was great because it had some clever features like bait attached to it. The staff were friendly, and they spoke Japanese, which was reassuring. However, I was disappointed that after the tour, even though I was purchasing the photo data, the driver rushed us because the car was already waiting, and I couldn't hear the explanations.

家族で参加しました。私たちが参加した日は波が荒かったようで他の方が水中スクーターをやってる時は船上で待つかシュノーケルができたのですが船酔いする方が続出でした。水中スクーターは餌がスクーターについてる等工夫があってよかったと思います。スタッフの方も気さくですし日本語も通じるので安心です。ツアーが終わって写真のデータを購入してるのに送迎の方がもう車が待ってるからと急かされ説明が聞けなかったのが残念だなと思います。

Due to the tides, the water level was around waist height instead of shallow. However, the sea was very beautiful, and I was able to see turtles several times, which was a lot of fun. The staff provided solid support, making it a safe activity to participate in. A waterproof camera is essential.

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　たっぷり3時間のシュノーケルで満喫 ＜ランチ＆アルコール2杯付き／送迎付きor現地集合＞

It was fun. 楽しかった

Reviewed by: ともこ

The cheerful guide, who was a second-generation Japanese-American captain, mostly had foreign guests, but afterwards, he kindly interpreted for the Japanese customers, making it easy to understand. The boat was a yacht type, allowing us to fully enjoy the resort atmosphere. After seeing dolphins, I was delighted to spot sea turtles swimming at a depth of about 10 meters during snorkeling. There was not enough time during lunchtime, so a lot of food was left over, which felt wasteful. It's better to start eating right after snorkeling. I was shocked to find that other coupons offered the same tour at a lower price than what I had booked, but the tour itself was very good, so I highly recommend it!

日系２世の船長さんの陽気なガイドで、お客さんはほとんど外国人の方でしたが、そのあと日本人客向けに丁寧に通訳してくださり、よくわかりました。
船もヨットタイプでリゾート気分満喫。
イルカを見たあと、シュノーケリング場所では水深10メートル程のところに海亀も泳いでいるのが見えて嬉しかったです。
ランチタイムは時間が少ないので沢山食べ物が余ってしまって勿体なかったです。シュノーケリングが終わったらすぐに食べはじめたほうがいいです。
他のクーポンで同じ内容のツアーが自分が予約したものより安くなっててショックを受けましたが、ツアー自体はとても良かったのでお勧めです❗

I had a great time. 楽しめました

Reviewed by: flipper

The scooter is controlled by the guide, so you hardly have to operate it yourself. It was interesting and offered a different underwater sensation compared to scuba diving. You can see fish gathering around the bait right in front of you. Unfortunately, the crew, aside from the interpreter, didn't seem to want to interact much with the Japanese guests, which was disappointing, so I deducted one star.

スクーターはガイドさんが押してコントロールしてくれるので、ほとんど操作することはありません。スキューバダイビングとも違う水中感覚で面白かったです。魚が餌に群がってくるのを目の前で見れます。通訳の方以外のクルーは、あまり日本人と接触しようとしなかったので残念な感じがして星一つ減らしました。

Reviewed by: ムトヤン

The hotel transfer and the captain's Japanese were a bit uncertain, but there aren't any complicated procedures, so you can rest assured. This person, despite their shaky Japanese, occasionally throws in jokes, which can make understanding a bit tricky (laughs).

On the day of the trip, it was quite windy, and my entire family got seasick. They asked us to please vomit at the back of the boat.

The underwater scooter is always held by a diver at the back, so it's reassuring. The first four people won't get wet above the face while riding the bike, but you will definitely get wet when getting off.

The underwater scenery is quite beautiful and full of fish. You can get bread to put in the net, and when you do, the fish come rushing over. A turtle was swimming nearby too!

Snacks were all-you-can-eat, but a South American family was stuffing their bags with them.

After the underwater bike ride, I didn't have the energy to enjoy snorkeling and was completely exhausted on the deck... I was thinking, "Please get me back to land quickly." Everyone else seemed to be having fun... how nice!

They take photos and videos underwater, and you can check them on a computer when you return to the office. If you like them, you can purchase the photos and videos for US$75 in an upload site format. They are very well taken, so I think it's worth buying. You can pay in cash on the spot or wait to pay at the hotel after the transfer.

The staff had slightly fewer smiles, which made me a bit anxious, but I felt they were doing their best while considering safety.

ハワイ水中スクーター　泳げなくてもOK！シーボブで海底散歩＆シュノーケリングクルーズ

The long-awaited underwater scooter. 念願の水中スクーター

Reviewed by: ほーちゃん

Since my child turned 10, we decided to try the underwater scooter that we couldn't do last year! We read plenty of experiences beforehand, and we were prepared with motion sickness medication and cold weather gear! Although there were no Japanese-speaking staff, the person who welcomed us and took photos was very polite. The other staff members were also attentive, and honestly, it was the best experience I've had among various tours.

Before boarding the boat, we received instructions on how to use the scooter and signed some documents. We were supposed to watch a video, but it seemed to be skipped due to a late-arriving group. The boat could hold about 25 people and did not have a restroom.

Once we arrived at the spot, we quickly spotted sea turtles swimming around!

We experienced the underwater scooter in pairs, then groups of three, and finally four. Since there were three of us, we were in the middle group. We were told we could snorkel freely while waiting, but we decided to wait on the boat until after our turn with the underwater scooter.

The boat rocked quite a bit. It would have been tough without taking motion sickness medication (laughs).

For the underwater scooter, we started with two scooters, going one by one, creating a time gap. When it was our turn, we had three scooters, and I went down first, followed by my child and then my husband. When my child came up, they took a photo of the two of them, and after my husband joined, they took photos and videos of the three of us. After I came up first, they also took pictures of my child and husband. They even used my handheld camera to take some shots!

Underwater, it was as beautiful as I imagined. The round helmet created a strange view, but various fish gathered around the food, allowing us to enjoy watching them up close, while sea turtles swam above us in a mystical world. The 20 minutes flew by. Snorkeling was also fun, as we spotted sea turtles!

When getting on and off the scooter, you have to dive into the sea, so your face gets wet! Also, the staff gives instructions on how to operate the scooter, so it's manageable even for children.

After everyone finished, we returned to the building where we received the initial briefing to check the photos and videos by group. If we liked them, we could proceed to purchase. We could choose either just photos or a set of photos and videos, with prices varying by the number of people. We got the set for $60. Later, a URL was sent to my email for downloading. They advised downloading on a computer since the data size was large.

On the way back, we were exhausted and fell into a deep sleep (laughs).

Thank you to all the staff for a wonderful time! It was enjoyable, but the waiting times were a bit tough, so I’m giving it one star less.

子供が10歳になったので去年出来なかった水中スクーターに挑戦！
事前に体験談をしっかり読み、酔い止めヨシ！寒さ対策ヨシ！
日本語を話せるスタッフはいませんでしたが、お迎え＋写真撮影のお兄さんは、とても丁寧に対応してくれました。他のスタッフさんもキチンと対応してくれ、今まで色々なツアーに参加しましたが、正直、一番感じが良かったです。

船に乗る前にスクーターの乗り方の説明と書類に署名をしました。
ホントはビデオも見るようですが、遅れてきたグループがいたため省略したようです。
船はトイレなしの25人くらい乗れる船でした。
ポイントに到着すると、早くも海亀さんを発見！2、3匹泳いでました。

水中スクーターは2人組→3人組→4人組の順で体験しました。
うちは3人でしたので、真ん中くらい。
待ち時間は、自由にシュノーケルをしていいよ！と言われましたが、水中スクーターをやってからにしようと船で待つことにしました。

船はかなり揺れます。酔い止めを飲んでなかったらヤバかったかも（笑）。

水中スクーターは最初は2台で､1台ずつ潜っていくので時差ができ､上がって来たら次の人…という感じでした。
うちの順番のときに3台になり、私、子供、旦那の順に潜りました。
子供が潜って来たときに、ふたりの写真を撮ってくれ､旦那が合流して3人の写真や動画を撮り、先に私が上がった後、子供と旦那の写真も撮ってくれました。
あと、手持ちのカメラでも撮ってくれました！
水中は、想像通り綺麗でした。被るやつが丸いので不思議な見え方になりますが、
餌に色々なお魚が集まって来て、目の前でお魚を鑑賞し、頭上を海亀さんが泳いでいる神秘的な世界です。あっという間の20分間でした。
シュノーケルも海亀さんを見かけたり、楽しかったです。

水中スクーターは乗るときと降りるときに海に潜って頭を出し入れするので、顔が濡れます！あと、スクーターの操作は、スタッフさんが指示してくれるので子供でも大丈夫です。

全員終了後、最初に説明を受けた建物に戻り、写真と動画をグループごとに確認して、気に入ったら購入手続きへ｡写真のみか写真と動画のどちらか選べ、人数によって値段が異なりました。うちは、写真と動画のセットで＄60でした。
後日メールアドレスにURLが送られてきて、ダウンロードするやり方です。
データが大きいのでパソコンでダウンロードしてくれ！と言われました。

帰りの車では疲れて爆睡（笑）。

スタッフの皆様、楽しい時間をありがとうございました！
楽しかったのですが、待ち時間の波がきつかったので星マイナス１で。

The best tour. 最高のツアー

Reviewed by: mimu

This was the best tour I've ever experienced! We were picked up at 11:40, which allowed us to schedule activities in the morning as well. Along the way, Leonard took us to buy malasadas before heading to the sandbar.

There were about 20-30 people on two boats, and Leonard distributed snacks while we moved offshore. When we arrived at the sandbar, even though it was offshore, the shallow areas were about knee-deep, allowing us to walk on the sandy bottom. We wandered around the sandbar, took photos, and the view was amazing with the ocean all around us.

After borrowing snorkeling gear and seeing the fish in deeper waters, we returned to the boat. Once we filled up with the buffet, we had free time, and two sea turtles appeared, allowing us to swim alongside them! While it's illegal to touch them, it was an incredible experience to see and swim so close. After that, we borrowed floaties and paddleboards to play around, and we arrived back at the hotel around 5 PM.

The staff were Japanese, so everything went smoothly without any issues.

If there was a downside, it might be that some people get seasick. Overall, it was the best tour in terms of timing and content.

今まで経験したツアーで1番良かったです！
11:40ピックアップで午前中も予定入れられました。途中でレナードによってマラサダを買いサンドバーへ。
20-30人で二艘の船に乗り、途中でレナードを配ってくれて食べつつ沖合へ移動します。
サンドバーに着くと沖合なのに浅いところは膝上くらい？で砂地を歩けました。
サンドバーをウロウロして写真を撮って景色も一面海で最高でした。
海の深いところでシュノーケリングを借りて魚を見た後船に戻ります。
バイキングでお腹が膨れたら自由時間ですが、ウミガメが2匹も現れて一緒に泳ぐことができました！法律で触れませんが、こんな近くで見れて泳げて最高の体験でした。その後浮輪やパドルサーフィンを借りて遊んで5時ごろホテルに到着。
スタッフも日本人で何も問題なく過ごせました。

問題あるとしたら船酔いする人もいることくらいでしょうか。
時間的にも内容も最高のツアーでした。

I participated in the underwater scooter, snorkeling, and sandbar activities, but the underwater scooter was the main focus, with snorkeling and the sandbar as waiting activities. At the sandbar, there wasn't much to do, and it felt both boring and cold, but I think many people felt it was better than getting seasick on the boat. I wish they would consider adding more content to the experience.

Reviewed by: 30代女子

It was fun.
The snorkeling was murkier than I expected, and it was hard to see the fish, but that's due to the weather, so it can't be helped.
The sand beach only appears during low tide, so outside of that time, it's shallow, but it was still plenty enjoyable!
I think it would be amazing even if it's shallow when the weather is nice.

Later, I thought that the price of 10 for a photo that can be purchased was a bit high, so I gave it 4 stars.

楽しかったです。
シュノーケリングは、思っていたより水が濁っていて、お魚が見えにくかったけど、天候のせいなので、仕方ない。
干潮の時しか砂浜が出ないので、その時間以外は浅瀬ですが、楽しさは、充分です！
晴れていたら、浅瀬だろうと最高だと思います。

後日、購入出来る写真が1枚10がちょっと高いなと思ったので、星4つにしました

Reviewed by: tamuranmiki

I thought I wouldn't be able to communicate in Japanese when I joined the tour, but it turned out that the guide was a Japanese American, so they kindly provided explanations in Japanese! Since there are many Japanese people in Hawaii, it was refreshing to be on a tour with fewer Japanese participants.

I had my 1.5-year-old child with me, and they were thrilled to see the dolphins. I thought I would have to take turns snorkeling with my husband, but surprisingly, we were able to swim with our child in water deeper than 10 meters. (My husband isn't a strong swimmer, so I went in with them, haha.)

It's recommended to bring a life jacket since even small children can join in. The waves can be high, so if you're not a strong swimmer, it might be better not to go in with small children.

日本語が通じないと思ってツアーに参加したら、なんとガイドの方が日系アメリカ人ということで、日本語での説明も丁寧にして下さいました！ハワイにいると日本人が多いので、日本人が少ないツアーだったのも新鮮でした。

子供が1歳6ヶ月同伴でしたが、イルカに大はしゃぎ。シュノーケリングは夫と交代でやらないといけないと思っていたのですが、なんと水深10メートル以上のところで、子供と泳がせてもらいました。（夫は泳ぐのが苦手なので、私が一緒に入りました笑）

小さいお子様でも一緒に入れるので、ライフジャケットは持って行っておくのがオススメです！波が高いので、泳ぐのが苦手という方は、小さいお子様とは一緒に入らない方がよいかもしれません。

It was fun. 楽しかったです

Reviewed by: むさごん

It wasn't a sunny day, so the water was quite cold when we got in, but we were able to enjoy a different kind of sea than Waikiki and even encountered sea turtles. The lunch on the boat was also quite delicious. After that, my father and high school students seemed to have a great time snorkeling, taking pictures of corals and sea turtles with their cameras. My mother and elementary school students enjoyed themselves with the rental floaties and paddle boats during that time. The boat didn't feel too rocky, but there were about 5 or 6 people who got seasick, so motion sickness medication might be necessary. The staff were all cheerful and fun, and they took great pictures with our cameras.

However... about two months ago, I made a reservation for the best day after checking the tides, but suddenly, less than a month before, I was told it was canceled due to a movie shoot. When I tried to book on another low tide day, I was told it was already full. I thought about canceling, but since it was the event I was looking forward to the most, I participated with faint hopes, even though it was on a king tide day. But as expected... the tide level was 160 cm, which meant the water was up to about half my face. Those who weren't good swimmers seemed to struggle. I knew we wouldn't be able to see the beautiful sandbar, but the result was too disappointing. Even though it cost over 50,000 yen, it was canceled so easily that I couldn't accept it, and now I feel like I want to try again next time, but also not...

晴天ではなかったので、海に入るとかなり冷たかったですが、ワイキキとは違う海を楽しむことができ、海亀とも出会えました。船上のランチも、なかなか美味しかったです。その後、父と高校生はシュノーケリングで、サンゴや海亀を持参したカメラで撮ったりと満喫したようです。母と小学生はその間貸し出しの浮き輪、パドルボートで楽しめました。船はそんなに揺れる感じではなかったですが、酔ってダウンしている方が5〜6人はいらっしゃったので、酔い止めは必要かも…。スタッフの方はみなさん明るく楽しく、という感じで、持参のカメラでもしっかり撮って頂きました。

ただ…二ヶ月ほど前に、潮を調べて一番良い日を予約したにもかかわらず、一ヶ月をきってから突然、映画撮影のためと言われキャンセルになり、他の潮の低い日に申し込んでも、もういっぱいですと言われ…。キャンセルしようかとも思ったのですが、一番楽しみにしていたイベントだったため、キングタイドの日でしたが、淡い期待を持って参加しました。しかしやはり…案の定…潮位は160cmの私で顔半分くらいまで…。泳ぎが得意でない人は、みなさん困っていらっしゃいました。サンドバーのあの綺麗な砂が見られないことは分かってはいたけれど、残念すぎる結果でした。5万を超える出費なのに、簡単にキャンセルされて納得いかず、次回リベンジしたいような、したくないような…

Hawaii Nautical 2-Hour Waikiki Turtle Snorkel Sail - Morning & Afternoon Tours [Apr-Nov]

We did See Turtles!

Reviewed by: Troy

As in the title we definitely saw turtles on the trip. I was however disappointed with an $89 each cost associated. We were picked up and driven to the marina which is at Waikiki and could have walked there quicker. We took the early 8 am tour which departed around 8:30 and minutes later we were in the water and swimming with the turtles which was great. Outside of the turtles there wasn't much more to see. After less than an hour of snorkeling I was told to get back on the boat to depart. Ten minutes later we were exiting the boat. There was no time to enjoy the "open bar" really at all, and it was only 9 am. For the money we should have at least got some extra time on the boat cruising around, maybe a loop back toward Pearl or something. I'm not saying don't do it but we saw just as many turtles off a rented stand up board on Waikiki for $25/hr. That said, the crew was great and really did try to get people going and excited.

Lets you get up close with the fishes and turtles

Reviewed by: Cliff

Some were apprehensive about diving under the helmet to get into it but after that it's amazing as you get to see fishes and even turtles up close. You also get a fish food sponge to lure scads of fishes to you - just be careful to keep your fingers out of the way, or you may get a nibble! The safety divers guide your scooter and show you where to go (and some take video for sale later). The only possible discomfort may be if you don't equalize the pressure as you dive or ascend - this can be done several ways (such as swallowing or yawning - I couldn't get the "pinch nose and blow" method to work). Otherwise it's a blast. You also get to hang around a bit - on the boat or swimming or snorkeling - while the other groups are on the scooters.

They helped me out of the water, checked in over and over, and were a delight. No their fault I yakked, and the did everything they reasonably could to make the trip good in spite of it. The sailing part was awesome-- it was windy and a little rough and so we really raced along and got bounced around in the waves. Very exciting. I love boats!

On my first trip to Hawaii, I absolutely wanted to visit the heavenly sea. On the day of the trip, the weather was cloudy, and I couldn't see the beautiful ocean scenery I had hoped for, but by the time we went snorkeling, it cleared up, and I was so happy to swim in the crystal-clear water with sea turtles and fish. My husband is not a strong swimmer, so I was anxious about snorkeling alone, but the staff were kind and provided great guidance, allowing me to enjoy swimming. The snacks were also delicious. I definitely want to go again.

初めてのハワイ旅行、天国の海は絶対に行きたいと思っていました。当日天気は曇り空で期待していたような海の景色はなかなか見られませんでしたが、シュノーケリングをする時間には晴れてきて透き通るような海の中をウミガメや魚たちと泳ぐことができてとても嬉しかったです。主人は泳ぐのが苦手で、シュノーケリングは私一人の参加で不安でしたが、スタッフの方が優しく指導してくださって楽しく泳ぐことができました。軽食もおいしかったです。是非また行きたいと思います。

It was a shallow sea. 浅瀬の海～でした

I made a reservation without checking the low tide schedule, and when I arrived, there was no sand, just water everywhere.
As for the snacks... the main wrap was too rich with cheese rolls and cream cheese, making it inedible.
However, I was glad to experience stand-up paddleboarding.
Next time, I will check the low tide and try again.

干潮の時刻を調べず予約してしまい、行ったら砂地はなく、どこも海でした。
軽食は・・・メインのラップが、チーズロールさらにクリームチーズでくどくて食べれず・・・
スタンドアップパドルが体験できたのがよかった。
次は干潮を確認してリベンジします。

The weather on the day was a bit iffy, with rain coming and going, which was disappointing, but I had a great time. The service was good, they took photos for us, and the food was delicious!

当日天気が微妙で雨が降ったりやんだりで残念でしたが楽しかったです。
サービスも良く写真を撮ってくれたり食事も美味しくてgood!
