BOB's Hawaii Underwater Scooter Adventure & Turtle Watching Tour
Wonderful experience....highlight of our Hawaiian trip!
Activity Date: 2016/09/28 | Posted on: 2016/10/22

This was so fun. The boat trip and scooter ride were made so great by the 3 divers and the captain. The treated us all so well ....my mother who is 86 accompanied us and she had a great time...her first trip to HI. I cannot express to you how much fun this was. Now we are reliving this with friends and family via the DVD and pictures. I am ready to go again.

Activity Date: 2016/10/10 | Posted on: 2016/10/20

This time, I planned a trip to Hawaii with my mother (79 years old) to show my appreciation for her. Since my mother loves the ocean, we participated in the "Underwater Scooter BOB Sea Bob Ocean Floor Walk & Snorkel Cruise."

On the day of the tour, we were picked up at a nearby hotel, but the driver only confirmed my name. He drove silently to the next pickup location, which felt a bit lonely since I had imagined a friendly Hawaiian atmosphere. Additionally, when we arrived at the shop, there was no explanation about the tour schedule, and they didn't say anything unless we asked, which left a rather unkind impression.

There were a total of 15 participants, with half of them being Japanese. After a somewhat broken Japanese explanation on how to use the underwater scooter, we boarded the boat and set off. There were three underwater scooters, so we took turns riding them. Since it seemed like I had some time before my turn, I decided to snorkel first. Although it was close to the boat, I had a great time seeing tropical fish swimming up close.

Finally, it was our turn to ride the underwater scooter. Operating the scooter was very easy; we just followed the instructor's hand signals (since we were underwater). I was amazed to see tropical fish gathering around the bait right in front of me.

And at the end, we encountered a Hawaiian turtle! My mother was very happy, and it was a satisfying tour.

今回は親孝行をするために母親(79歳)と私でハワイ旅行を計画。海が大好きな母親にハワイの海が見せたかったので「水中スクーターBOB・シーボブで海底散歩&シュノーケルクルーズ」に参加しました。
当日は近くのホテルでピックアップしてもらいましたが、運転手のお兄さんは私の名前を確認しただけ。無言で次のピックアップ先のホテルに向かって走って行ったので、ハワイアンのフレンドリーな感じを想像していた私にはちょっとさみしく感じました。またお店に到着してからも、ツアーの予定について説明はなく、こちらから聞かないと何も言ってくれなかったのは不親切な印象でした。
今回の参加者は全部で15人。半数が日本人の方でした。
水中スクーターの乗り方についてやや片言⁈の日本語説明があった後に船に乗り込み出発です。
水中スクーターは全部で3台だったので、1人ずつ順番に乗る事になってます。私の順番までは時間がありそうだったので、先にシュノーケルをやる事にしました。船の近くでのシュノーケルでしたが。熱帯の魚達が泳いでいるのを間近に見ることが出来て楽しかったです。
そしていよいよ私達が水中スクーターに乗る番になりました。水中スクーターの操作方法はインストラクターの方の言われる(水中だから手信号)ままに操作するだけなのでとても簡単でした。水中では目の前の餌に群がる熱帯の魚達を間近に見る事が出来て感動しました。
そして最後にはハワイのカメに遭遇!!
母親もたいへん喜んでいて、満足出来るツアーでした。

The scooter was great.
スクーターは良かったです。
Activity Date: 2016/09/22 | Posted on: 2016/10/18

Even though it was a short time, I really enjoyed the scooter. The guide was attentive, which made me feel at ease, and it opened up a world that I wouldn't normally consider. However, the snorkeling, stand-up paddleboarding, and the sandbar at Hawaii Kai before and after were a bit disorganized and not enjoyable. You can purchase photos and videos from the underwater scooter experience for a fee. I recommend getting those as a memory of the trip.

短い時間とは言え、スクーターは本当に楽しめました。
ガイドも付きっ切りで安心でしたし、日常では考えられない世界が広がります。
ただその前後のシュノーケリングやスタンドアップパドルボート、ハワイカイのサンドバーは、ちょっとグダグダで楽しめませんでした。
水中スクーター時の写真や動画は有料で申し込めます。
それは旅の思い出に購入する事をおススメします。

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 first submarine scooter!
初のサブマリンスクーター!
Activity Date: 2016/10/14 | Posted on: 2016/10/16

I made my first reservation here and chose this as my first Hawaii activity! They provided pick-up from the hotel, and when I mentioned that my friend was at a different hotel, they also picked her up so we could meet up.

There were many people from other countries, and I felt a bit nervous in the multicultural atmosphere during the ride to the location.

After receiving the explanation, I thought my face wouldn't get wet, but when actually using the scooter, I had to dive underwater, so it's better to be prepared with makeup and contact lenses.

As we headed to the boat in order, it was quite crowded on busy days, but there were only about three or four scooters, so two groups entered the water one by one.

You can place your belongings at your seat, but I think it's best to keep it to the bare minimum. I believe I could have prepared better if I had been informed in advance.

They provide towels and cover-ups, and you can have photos and videos taken on-site, so having around $50 should be sufficient. A reservation slip is required, so it's good to have a printed copy or your phone handy.

Most people were wearing wetsuits, but I wasn't sure, so I went in a swimsuit with a T-shirt and shorts that could get wet.

Once you get on the scooter, there is an instructor for each person, so it's fine. Even if you can't speak English, you can manage with hand signals. You'll need to equalize your ears, so make sure to do that frequently at first.

When you dive into the sea, the fish are attracted to the food attached to the scooter, so you can touch the fish! An exciting world opens up. Luckily, there were sea turtles, and the staff took beautiful photos for us. I was truly moved by the blue of the ocean and felt grateful to participate in such a wonderful tour that makes you want to go again.

While waiting, you can enjoy the scenery from the boat and see Diamond Head, but I was surprised that the only snacks available were small snack foods.

You can order the underwater images taken by the staff at the end.

If you provide your email address, you'll receive an email later, and you can download the photos to view them for two weeks.

I was really glad to participate with my friend this time! Everyone was happy, but I gave it four stars instead of five due to the lack of time.

初めてこちらで予約をとり、初のHawaiiアクティビティとしてこちらを選びました!
ホテルでの送迎と、友達が別のホテルにいるのを伝えるとそこにもピックアップで迎えに行ってくれての合流。
他の国の方も多く、異文化な車中の空気に緊張しつつ、現地に到着。

説明を受け、顔が濡れないとおもってたのですが実際スクーターに頭を入れる際潜って潜らなければならないのでメイクやコンタクトは対応した方がいいです。

船へと順番に向かい、乗り込んでいくと多い日はつめつめですがスクーターが3か4個くらいしかないので2組をバラバラに1人ずつ水に入って行きます。

荷物は自分の席におけます。ただ必要最低限の荷物に抑えるといいと思います。事前に教えてくれてるともっと対応できたと思います。

タオル、羽織るもの、写真や動画を現地で撮ってもらえるので50ドルあればとりあえず大丈夫かと。
予約票が必要なので印刷したものか、携帯はあるといいですよ。

ウェットスーツ着てる方がほとんどで、わたしはわからなかったので水着にTシャツと短パンの濡れても大丈夫な感じで行きました。

いざスクーターに乗るさえ、一対一でインストラクターが付いてるので大丈夫です。
英語ができなくても手のサインでなんとかなります。
耳抜きが必要になるのでこまめに始めはやりましょう。

海に沈むとお魚の餌がスクーターについてるのでそれに群がる魚に触れられます!!
興奮する世界が広がります。
運よくウミガメもいてスタッフさんがキレイに撮ってくれます。
なんどでも行きたくなるような素敵なツアーに参加できて海の青さにあらためて感動しました。

まってる間も船で景色はみれるし、ダイヤモンドヘッドもみれて、強いて言うなら軽食が小さなスナック菓子しかないのにびっくりしました。

海の中の画像はスタッフさんが撮ったものを最後注文できます。

Eメールアドレスを教えて後日メールが届くのでそこをダウンロードすれば2週間は見られます。

今回友達との参加で本当に参加できて良かったと思いました!
みんな喜んでましたが時間がたりない点でマイナス星1つにより4つは星にしておきさた。

The wind was strong!

Activity Date: 2016/10/13 | Posted on: 2016/10/15

I participated in October, and while the weather was good, the wind was strong! Because of that, the waves were high and the sea was a bit murky.

After snorkeling, my husband got seasick and couldn't eat much, which was unfortunate. Even for those who usually don't get seasick, it might be safer to take motion sickness medication just in case!

However, we did see turtles, and the sea was beautiful, so I was very satisfied! I want to try again when I come back to Hawaii!

10月の参加でしたが、天気はよかったのですが風が強い!
その為波が高く海が少し濁っていました。

シュノーケリングをしたあと、旦那が波酔いしてしまい、あまりごはんがたべられなかったのがかわいそうでした。
普段酔わない人でも、一応酔い止めは飲んで置いた方が安全かもしれません!

でも、カメさんもみれましたし、海もきれいで大満足です!
次ハワイにきたらまたリベンジしたいです!

BOB's Hawaii Underwater Scooter Adventure & Turtle Watching Tour
Who said that only swimmers can go under the sea??
Activity Date: 2016/09/26 | Posted on: 2016/09/30

First I was really afraid because I can barely float, I don't swimming if is not at the pool and going short distance. But I decided to have a new experience as a solo traveler in Hawaii as my first visit. The crew were just amazing, the lady at office received me with a big smile and was very friendly. The rest of the crew really made me feels good and my fears went away. When we got to the spot in the sea the first animal I saw was a turtle, and was an amazing feeling. While the crew organizing every scooter the only thing in my mind was "oh please I don't want to be the first one", after the captain told me I will be the next, I ended up being the third person going under. Words can not explain, you really need to go and have this experience where you can actually be close and touch animals under the sea.
I was lucky enough to see turtles, different kind of fish and even an octopus that got stuck on my big helmet for my pictures and video.
By the end of the day I got my photos and video, I've played my video and couldn't believe that the woman was me, they really did a good job, from the beginning to the end
I really recommend BOB's Adventure underwater scooter, specially if you don't swim at all, like me.


PS: I took the bus to get there from downtown, the commute was really easy and you will get so see more.

It's okay if you can't swim! It was fun!
泳げなくても大丈夫!楽しかったー!
Activity Date: 2016/09/22 | Posted on: 2016/09/26

First, we watched an explanation video about underwater scooters in an office-like area on the second floor, used the restroom, and those who weren't wearing swimsuits changed. At this point, two different colored paper tapes were wrapped around our wrists.

Everyone boarded the boat, but some groups were given marine shoes (probably based on the color of the paper tape) and were told to leave their belongings on the boat and get off because they would go to the sandbar on a different boat first. The boat to the sandbar went quite fast, which was a bit scary but fun! However, even though it was called a sandbar, the seawater was up to our chests, and when the waves got a bit high, we were splashed over our heads. A female staff member who spoke Japanese taught us how to use the stand-up paddle. You can ride with two people. She said that if you have a smartphone in a waterproof case, she would take pictures for you, and she took a lot of photos. We took turns enjoying it in groups of four, but while others were taking their turns, there wasn't much to do, so I thought it would be nice to have a float. The female staff members were always on floats, though (laughs).

After a while, the first boat we boarded returned, and we joined everyone else to move a bit offshore to use the underwater scooters. The moment we entered the helmet part of the scooter, we submerged in the sea. I didn't operate the scooter at all. When I placed my hands on the handlebars, the diver gestured for me to remove them a few times, and he operated the handlebars himself.

There was a sea turtle, and he pulled the scooter close to it! The scooter had food attached, and when I waved the net with the food, fish came to eat, and I was able to take many pictures from inside the helmet. The water was truly a beautiful blue, and I was moved by it.

While the next person was using the underwater scooter, we borrowed snorkeling gear and enjoyed it, but when we returned to the boat after the scooter, many people said they were cold, and some chose not to snorkel. Snacks and water were available for unlimited consumption, and everyone ate quite a bit. We could decide whether to purchase the photos taken by the diver after seeing them. I didn't purchase either the photos or the videos.

We had time to change and use the restroom until we got on the return vehicle. There were no towels laid on the seats, and since my swimsuit was still a bit wet, I placed a towel I used to dry off on the seat before sitting down.

最初に2階の事務所のようなところで水中スクーターの説明ビデオを見たりトイレに行ったり水着を着てない人は着替えたりしました。ここで色の違う紙テープのようなもの2本が手首に巻かれます。
1度みんな船に乗りましたが、何組かはマリンシューズを渡されて(多分紙テープの色によって)先に別のボートでサンドバーに行くから荷物を置いて船からおりて、と言われました。サンドバーへ行くボートは結構スピードを出して少し怖かったですが楽しかったです!しかしサンドバーといっても海水は胸まであり、少し高い波がくると頭からかぶります。女性の日本語が話せるスタッフがスタンドアップパドルのやり方を教えてくれます。2人で乗ることもできます。防水ケースに入れたスマホを持っていると写真撮ってあげるよ!と言ってくれてたくさん撮ってくれました。4組で交代交代に楽しみましたが他の方がやっている間は特にすることがなく海の中で立っているだけなので浮輪があればいいなと思いました。女性スタッフだけは常に浮輪にのってましたが(笑)
しばらくすると最初に乗った船が来てしてみなさんと合流して少し沖へ移動し水中スクーターをします。スクーターのヘルメット部分に入る瞬間は海に潜ります。 スクーターの操作は全くしていません。ハンドルに手を置いていると手をどけろみたいなジェスチャーを何回かされダイバーがハンドルを操作してなにかしてました。
ウミガメがいたのですぐ近くまでスクーターを引っ張って行ってくれました!スクーターには餌が付いていてその餌の網を振ると魚が食べに来てヘルメットの中から写真をたくさん撮れました。海の中は本当にきれいな青色で感動しました。
シュノーケリングは次の人が水中スクーターをしている間に勝手に道具を借り楽しむ感じでしたが水中スクーターを終えて船に戻ると寒いと言っている人が多くシュノーケリングはやらない人もいました。スナック菓子とお水は食べ飲み放題でみなさん結構食べてました。ダイバーが撮ってくれた写真は見てから購入するか決めれます。動画は見てませんが私はどちらも購入しませんでした。
帰りの車に乗るまで着替えたりトイレに行く時間がありました。座席にタオルなどは敷かれておらず、まだ少し水着が濡れていたので体をふいたタオルを敷いて座りました。

I should have gone during low tide.
もっと干潮の時に行けば良かったです。
Activity Date: 2016/09/02 | Posted on: 2016/09/12

I participated in the morning session. I chose a date that would allow me to go to the sandbar around low tide, but the water level was about knee-deep. Moreover, it was the day before a hurricane approached, so the weather wasn't great, but the sea turtles seemed accustomed to people and came to play near the anchored boats, swimming close enough that it felt like they might bump into us. I didn't have high expectations for the food since it was just light snacks, but it was delicious. The snorkeling was enjoyable and at a manageable distance. I don't think it's necessary to buy and bring reef shoes. It's better to assume there are no changing rooms. I also think it's considerate that you can download one group photo for free.

午前の部に参加しました。なるべくサンドバーに行く時間が干潮になるような日付を選びましたが、潮位は膝下ぐらいでした。しかもハリケーン接近の前日でだったのでお天気はいまいちでしたが海亀さんは人に慣れているのか停泊中のボート付近に遊びに来てくれて向こうからぶつかってきそうな所で泳いでくれました。食事も軽食とあったので期待はしていませんでしたが美味しかったです。シュノーケルも無理ない距離で楽しく出来ました。リーフシューズは買って持っていくまでもないと思います。更衣室はないと思った方が良いです。集合写真を1枚だけ無料ダウンロード出来るのも良心的だと思います。

Aloha! Thank you for joining the Captain Bruce's Paradise of the Sea tour. I'm really glad to hear that you enjoyed it. I hope you were able to meet the honu and take home lots of happiness!

Please note that there are no changing rooms or lockers during the tour. Participants should come wearing their swimsuits from their rooms and will return to the hotel in their swimsuits as well. Even if you don't plan to participate in snorkeling, you will need to get into the water when visiting the sandbar, so please make sure to wear clothes that can get wet.

We look forward to welcoming you back for another adventure in Paradise of the Sea. Mahalo!

I had been interested in this for a while, and when I went to Hawaii last time, I couldn't make a reservation, so I decided to try again this time! I was really looking forward to it. However, nature had other plans. During high tide, the sandbar was only up to my knees, and it rained.

The snorkeling was challenging due to the strong currents, but it was a satisfying tour overall. We even saw sea turtles up close, which was thrilling. Given the weather conditions, I will check the tides for my next attempt. The staff was excellent!

以前より気になっておりまして、前回ハワイに行った際は予約が取れずに今回は再チャレンジ!
大変楽しみに行きました。自然には勝てず。満潮でサンドバーはひざ上位まで。そして雨
但しシュノーケリングは潮が強かったですが、満足のいくツアーでした。ウミガメも出現して、身近で見れて感激。この様な天気でしたので、次回は潮を調べて再チャレンジ。

Everyone on the boat was sea sick and was vomiting the whole time. The sub scooter was fun, but there are lots of pressure. If you get claustrophobic or sea sick easily I don't recommend this active. We got to see a lot of fishes. The crew member on the other hand are no really nice.

Submarine Underwater Scooter Adventure & Turtle Snorkeling Tour from Hawaii Kai
Scooter Adventure
Activity Date: 2016/07/25 | Posted on: 2016/08/22

It would have been "a once in a lifetime" opportunity in the Pacific ocean in Hawaii. Unfortunately the three of us anxiously awaiting our turn on the underwater scooters became seasick. Had we known the swells of the ocean, from tropical storm Darby, may have affected us negatively, maybe we could have prepared better. Perhaps somewhere in the confirmation the vendor could have mentioned motion sickness and recommended we take or put on something "just in case" we might be affected. My son made it into the scooter gear but came up because bubbles kept getting in his nose, eyes. Others on the boat did have a great time! We won't go again. We will snorkel next time. It just didn't work out for us.

I was able to see sea turtles multiple times.
ウミガメに何回も会えました
Activity Date: 2016/07/19 | Posted on: 2016/08/15

I have some experience with snorkeling in Hawaii, but this time I wanted to try going to the sandbar that often appears on TV, so I made a reservation. Since there were no morning slots available, I opted for the afternoon, but unfortunately, due to high tide, the water was up to my waist at my height. In deeper areas, I couldn't touch the bottom, so I had to wear a life jacket, but the sea was very beautiful, and I was able to see sea turtles quite closely. After that, we moved to a deeper area for snorkeling. Those who didn't want to snorkel stayed on the boat, but it didn't seem like they were bored, as it was interesting to watch. Compared to the tours I've participated in before, snorkeling wasn't the main focus, so I felt a bit unsatisfied, but the staff's explanations were clear, and it was evident that they were attentive to safety. As for food, shortly after boarding the boat, we were served freshly made malasadas, and the barbecue lunch was a buffet with salad, several types of meat, pineapple, rice, and chili beans. The meat and pineapple were especially delicious, and I ate a lot. Overall, the atmosphere was very Hawaiian and lively, and as older participants, we felt a bit out of place, but the guide mentioned that their children were already grown, which made me realize that age doesn't really matter. The boat didn't rock much, so I recommend this for those who want to relax in the sea but also want a bit of activity.

ハワイでシュノーケリングは何回か経験があるのですが、今回はTVによく出ている海の中のサンドバーに行ってみたいと思い、申し込みました。午前中はもう予約が空いてなかったので午後にしたのですが、残念ながら満潮で深さは小さい私の身長では腰のあたりまでありました。深い所では足がつかないので救命胴衣を着けながらでしたが、海はとてもきれいでウミガメもかなり間近で見られました。その後深めの所へ移動してシュノーケリングをしました。しない人は船に残っていましたが、そんなに長い時間ではなく見てるのも面白かったみたいで退屈ではなさそうでした。今まで参加してきたツアーに比べるとシュノーケリングはメインではないので少し物足りなかったですが、スタッフの方々の説明はわかりやすく安全にも配慮していることがうかがわれました。食べ物は船に乗ると間もなく出来立てのマラサダが配られていただけるのと、バーベキューランチはサラダ、お肉が数種類、パイナップル、ごはん、チリビーンズなどのブフェで、お肉とパイナップルが特においしくてたくさん食べました。全体的にハワイらしく盛り上げる雰囲気で年齢の少し行っている私たちはちょっと気おくれしていましたが、ガイドさんもお子さんがもう大きいという話だったので、年齢は関係ないんだなと感心しました。船もあまり揺れないので、のんびり海に入りたいけどちょっとアクティブにもしたい、という方にお勧めです。

It's been a while since I participated, but the memories of that experience are still vivid. I feel happy whenever I see the scenery on TV.

The scenery, the beautiful sea turtles, and the stunning ocean are all highly recommended, but the top recommendation is the barbecue meat. The seasoning was truly delicious, and I ended up going back for seconds.

When asked what was delicious in Hawaii, I answered with this meat, but since you can only taste it by participating, I encouraged others to join in.

参加からだいぶたってしまいまいたが、いまだに参加した思い出が
色あせません。
テレビなどで景色が映るとうれしくおもいます。

景色も海亀きれいな海もすべてがお薦めですが
一番のお薦めはバーベキューのお肉です。
味付けは本当に美味しくて、おかわりしちゃいました。

ハワイで何が美味しかった?と聞かれて
こちらのお肉と答えたのですが、参加しないと食べられない
からぜひ参加してみてと宣伝しちゃいました。

The weather was clear and it felt great to swim! As expected, I didn't see the conditions like in that promotional video, but I was still very satisfied to see the beautiful ocean and even spotted a sea turtle! The lunch was delicious too!

快晴でとても気持ちよく泳げました!予想通りあのPVのような状態は見られませんでしたが、それでもあのきれいな海が見られて、ウミガメも見れたので大満足です!

The rain and wind were intense, so it wasn't a picturesque view, but the crew was entertaining and the lunch was delicious. Next time, I want to try again when the weather is nice.

BOB's Hawaii Underwater Scooter Adventure & Turtle Watching Tour
poorly organized program......wait too much time for 15 min riding
Activity Date: 2016/07/22 | Posted on: 2016/08/01

Even though I spent the whole morning for this activity, I just rode the underwater scooter for 15 min only. Furthermore, I couldn't even enjoy with my wife and son at the same time. So embarrassed and annoyed much. I admit the riding itself is exciting activity but their program was not that sophisticated. I was so much disappointed.

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
It was a little scary, but it was really fun.
ちょっと怖かったけどすごく楽しかったです
Activity Date: 2015/11/20 | Posted on: 2016/07/21

There were only four groups, so we were able to play very smoothly. They applied aroma for motion sickness prevention, and we had unlimited water and chips. There was a proper guide who helped us with feeding the fish, and it was really beautiful; we even got to see turtles, which was great.

4組しかいなくてすごくスムーズに遊べました。
船酔い対策のアロマを塗ってくれたり、お水とポテチは食べ放題でした。
ちゃんと付き添いの方いて餌巻いてくれたり本当に綺麗でカメまで見れてよかったです

水中スクーター&マウナルア湾パラダイスサンドバーシュノーケリングクルーズ SUPなどのアクティビティも満喫!<英語クルー>
Let's think that there is no breakfast, and it's okay if you can't swim.
朝食はないと思いましょう、そして泳げなくて大丈夫
Activity Date: 2016/07/06 | Posted on: 2016/07/18

We participated in this tour for our honeymoon. My husband can't swim at all, but we searched for marine sports that he could enjoy and signed up for this tour. In the end, there were no problems at all!! My husband says it became his most enjoyable memory in Hawaii.

I noticed many reviews mentioned they didn't know where breakfast was, so we ate beforehand. As the reviews indicated, there was no breakfast provided. The only things mentioned were snacks and water.

There was one woman who spoke Japanese, and she explained everything throughout the tour, which made us feel at ease. We went to a sandbar by boat before using the underwater scooter, and we enjoyed paddling on a standing boat! There were two boats, and with four groups of participants, we took turns having fun! Everyone was able to get on easily.

We spent quite a bit of time at the sandbar, just when everyone started to feel a bit bored! It was a really beautiful sandbar, about knee-deep.

And finally, the underwater scooter!! I thought we would have to wear a wetsuit over our swimsuits, but we just got on the scooter in our swimsuits and dove in. At the moment of entering the helmet part of the scooter, you have to close your eyes and dive into the sea, but there is one diver assigned to each participant, so it's okay. When entering the sea from the boat, the diver supports your body, which is reassuring.

Also, if your phone is in a waterproof case, you can take lots of pictures from inside the helmet! I was worried about the water pressure, but there were no issues at all! The operation of the scooter was simple and easy. The scooter had food attached, and when I held the net with the food, many fish came to eat from my hand!

We were lucky enough to see a sea turtle, which was amazing. The diver took photos and videos for us. It was about $45 for the photos and videos, and it was a bit cheaper for just the photos. We wrote down two email addresses to receive them later. Payment was possible by card, but there was a small fee.

We didn't bring a card and only had about $30, but when we were sent back to the hotel, we had the driver wait while I went to get the money from our room, and that was no problem. They sent the photos the very next day!

I was very satisfied with the many photos taken of my husband and me riding the scooter surrounded by fish!! For snorkeling, we borrowed the equipment and enjoyed it while the next person took their turn on the underwater scooter. Since there was no diver with the snorkeling, it's better for non-swimmers not to do it.

I'll attach some photos, but the underwater scooter photos were taken from my phone!

新婚旅行で参加させて頂きました。旦那は全く泳げないけど、それでも楽しめるマリンスポーツを探しこのツアーを申し込みました。
結果、全く問題ありませんでした!!旦那はハワイで一番楽しい思い出になったと言っています。
口コミで朝食はどこにあるのかわからなかったという意見が多数あったので事前に食べてから参加しました。口コミ通り、朝食は用意ありませんでした。
説明されたのは、スナック菓子とお水だけです。
女性の日本語が話せる人が1人いて、ツアー中はずっとその人が説明してくれたので安心しました。
水中スクーターの前にボートでサンドバーに行き、立って漕ぐボートを楽しみました!
そのボートは2つあり、参加者は4組いたので交代交代で楽しみました!みんな簡単に乗れてました。
みんなが少し飽きたなーくらい結構な時間をサンドバーで楽しみました!
凄く綺麗なサンドバーで膝上くらいの高さでした。
そしてついに水中スクーター!!
水着の上にウエットスーツを着るのかと思いましたが、水着のままスクーターに乗り潜りました。
スクーターのヘルメット部分に入る瞬間は、目をつむり海に潜らなければならないけれど参加者1人に対し1人のダイバーさんが付くので大丈夫です。船から海に入る時もダイバーさんが体を支えてくれるので安心です。
それと携帯は、水が入らないケースにいれていれば
ヘルメットの中から写真をたくさん撮れました!
水圧とかで変にならないか不安でしたけど全く問題ありませんでした!
スクーターの操作も単純で簡単。
スクーターには餌が付いてて、その餌の網を自分で握ったら自分の手からたくさんの魚が食べに来ました!
運良く海亀もみれたし、最高でした。
ダイバーさんが写真と動画を撮ってくれました。
写真と動画で、たしか45ドル。写真だけだと少し安かったはずです。
メールアドレスを2つ書いて渡し、後日送ってくれるシステムです。カードでも支払い可能でしたが手数料が少しかかったはずです。
私たちは最低限の30ドル程度とカードも持ってきてなかったんですが、帰りホテルに送ってもらうときに運転手に待っていてもらい、部屋に取りに行き渡したら問題なかったです。
写真は次の日すぐ送ってくれました!
旦那と横に並んでスクーターに乗り、魚に囲まれてる写真をたくさん撮って貰えて大満足でした!!
シュノーケルは私たちが水中スクーターを終え、交代で次の人が水中スクーターをしている間に、勝手に道具を借り楽しむスタイルでした。シュノーケルはダイバーさんは付かないので泳げない人はやらない方がいいです。
写真を載せますが水中スクーターの写真は携帯から撮ったものです\(^o^)/

3-Hour Waikiki Deluxe Turtle Snorkel Sail with Lunch - Hawaii Nautical
Snorkel with Honi Olani
Activity Date: 2016/05/30 | Posted on: 2016/07/16

The Hawaii Nautical Honi Olani was a great snorkeling adventure. On my trip we saw 5 turtles. I was very impressed by the snorkel guides knowledge of the turtles and where to go to see turtles. While in the water they pretty much gave you the ability to swim freely and explore the cannel. If you swam or drifted to far the snorkel guide would keep an eye on you and ask you to swim in. I felt very safe and knew that if anything happened the boat crew and snorkel guide would be there immediately. I would also like to give the boat crew an appreciation shout out for picking up beach balls and trash that were floating in the ocean. I am very pleased to see that they our environment. If you are looking for a relaxing snorkel adventure where you can see sea creatures in their natural habitat I would definitely recommend Hawaii Nautical Honi Olani.

BOB's Hawaii Underwater Scooter Adventure & Turtle Watching Tour
Nothing like Snorkeling when a sea turtle just swims up to you!!
Activity Date: 2016/07/08 | Posted on: 2016/07/14

We did this as part of our anniversary week in Oahu and all I can say is if you are "thinking" of doing this, stop thinking and just DO IT! It's an experience you will never forget and the fact that we got to pet and swim along a sea turtle in the ocean is simply awesome!! The crew was amazing, the water was warm and it's something we'll never forget, the crew made this a very memorable experience.
