All Reviews for Beginner Snorkeling Tours

We really enjoyed the snorkel sail tour. The crew of the catamaran were very friendly and knowledgable about the island and the event. The actual snorkeling was fun and we saw several green sea turtles but the waters were crowded with too many other vacationers. The deli style lunch with bar was perfect for this event. The sail back to the marina was great fun!

Above all, it was very beautiful!! The white sandbar that spreads out in the shallow water is truly stunning. They also teach you how to snorkel carefully, and the crew is there to watch over you, so you can feel at ease even if it's your first time. I was able to see a lot of fish, and it was a wonderful experience.

何はともあれ、とてもきれいでした!!浅瀬になって広がる白いサンドバーがそれはそれはきれいです。シュノーケルも、やり方を丁寧に教えてくれますし、クルーの皆さんが見守っていてくれるので、初めてでも安心してできます。魚もたくさん見ることができ、とても良い体験ができました。

I'd do this again in a heartbeat. Worth every penny. Personal attention so that I got maximum experience as guides helped us see the turtles when they came around and did everything possible to draw the fish to us. You could tell the crew was experienced and competent.

My nephew & I took this adventure and enjoyed it very much. My nephew said that he would like to do it again next time he goes to Hawaii.

We were picked up at Hilton around 8 AM and took a minivan, which was full with 21 people, passing by Sheraton and other places. Despite the traffic, we arrived in about an hour. Two vans joined us at the location. We took a boat for 15 minutes to the sandbar. We enjoyed walking in the sea and snorkeling. It was an amazing time.

ヒルトンを８時頃のピックアップでシェラトン等を経由してミニバンは２１名満席。渋滞の中も含み約１時間で到着。現地では２台が合流。ボートに乗りサンドバーへ１５分。海の散歩とシュノーケル。最高の時間を過ごせました。

I participated in mid-June. I was worried about the weather, but the waves weren't high and I didn't get seasick. While searching for sea turtles, I unexpectedly saw a shark! When we arrived at the sandbar spot, it was completely sunny and felt great. Since it wasn't low tide, the water level was about knee-deep. During snorkeling, it was slightly cloudy and the depth was 10 meters, so it was cold and I was desperately trying not to get swept away. After snorkeling, the food was a bit disappointing because it was cold and I couldn't eat much, but the staff really made it fun. It started pouring rain right after the tour ended, so I was really glad the weather was nice during the tour.

6月中旬に参加しました。お天気が心配でしたが、波も高くなく船酔いも大丈夫でした。ウミガメを探していたら、偶然にもサメが！サンドバーのスポットに到着した時はすっかり晴れてとても気持ちよかったです。干潮ではなかったので水位は膝くらいまででした。シュノーケル時は若干曇って深さ10mだったので寒かったのと流されないように泳ぐので必死でした。シュノーケル後のごはんでしたが寒くてあまりいただけなくて残念でしたがスタッフの皆さんが盛り上げてくれて楽しかったです。ツアー終了と同時に大雨になったのでツアー中晴れていて本当によかったです。

This was an awesome excursion, saw plenty of turtles and the crew was friendly and experienced! My daughter took a GoPro camera, Mike (our guide snorkeling) took awesome video for her of the turtles and pics of them as well! I will definitely do this one again when I get back here. This crew was outstanding!

On the day we participated, it was cloudy with some wind and a bit chilly until we boarded the boat and headed out to sea. However, by the time we reached the sandbar, the sun was shining, and we had a great time swimming. The water level was deep enough to reach our waists and shallow enough to reach our knees. There were no areas where the sandy beach was visible. The brunch on the boat was very delicious, and we were able to relax. The photos taken can be downloaded with a password after returning home, but I'm embarrassed because the swimsuit photos will be visible to other participants.

参加した日は、船に乗って沖へ進むまで、曇りで風もあり、少し寒かったのですが、サンドバーに着いた頃には日も射して、泳ぐこともでき楽しかったです。
水位は深くて腰、浅くて膝、くらいでした。砂浜が現れているところはありませんでした。
船上でのブランチはとても美味しく、のんびり過ごせました。
撮ってくれた写真が、帰国してからパスワードでダウンロードできるのですが、水着の写真が他の参加者にも丸見えになるので、はずかしいです。

First of all crew was great! Our driver and diver Taylor went out of his way to be helpful .
The experience was average . Not much time on actual scooter. A lot of time sitting on boat then back at shop waiting to be driven back while the video and pictures we being pushed. Wouldn't do it again but not unhappy that I did it once.

Down loading pictures a nightmare everything else was great

The day we went, unfortunately, the sky was cloudy and the color of the sea wasn't great, but it gradually cleared up while we were snorkeling. A turtle also came by, which made us very happy. The crew members were all friendly and fun people. Next time, I want to try again on a nice sunny day.

私たちが行った日は、あいにくの曇り空で海の色はイマイチでしたが、シュノーケリングをした時にはだんだん晴れてきました。カメさんも寄ってきてくれて、大満足です。クルーさん達も皆さんが気さくで楽しい人たちばかりでした。今度はまた、天気の良い日に挑戦してみたいです。

First time to Hawaii I picked this tour. What an awesome experience. Friendly staff and pickup/drop off made it easy. Will do it again with the family.

We were delighted with this activity.

Nick the Captain and his 2 crew were excellent hosts, safety conscious and went out of their way to make the cruise enjoyable for the 2 couples on board. Normally there would be a few more people on the cruise but we lucked it that day

The cruise consists of a 15-20 minute cruise in a catamaran to an area well off Waikiki Beach known as a spot where Turtles come to have parasites removed by fish.

We then went snorkeling (flotation vests supplied and mandatory to use). One of the 3 crew on board was in the water acting as a guide and safety person. He quickly located some turtles and directed us to them. We saw numerous turtles, some small, some larger in the water below us and on the surface.

After the snorkeling we had the supplied lunch, basic but adequate although the bread rolls were a bit stale. Free soft drinks and 2 free alcoholic drinks if you wanted them included.

Then the crew set the sails and we cruised around up towards Diamond Head before heading back to port. All up a great trip and worth doing, recommended.

The wait time was short and everything went smoothly. The sandbar was beautiful, just as I expected. I was able to see fish while snorkeling. Additionally, I got to see sea turtles quite up close. However, for those who couldn't snorkel, there was some downtime, and I wished they could have been offered other activities to keep them engaged, as it felt a bit like waiting around.

待ち時間も少なくスムーズでした。
サンドバーは期待通り、綺麗でした。
シュノーケリングで魚をみることもできました。
また、結構近くでウミガメを見ることができました。
シュノーケリングができない方が暇な時間ができてしまうので、その方には他の遊びをやらしてあげてほしかったです。待ちぼうけ感があったので。

I participated in this tour, but unfortunately, the weather was not good, and I couldn't fully enjoy the beautiful colors of the sea and sky, which was very disappointing. It started to rain heavily, and it was quite cold on the boat.

The staff included some Japanese people, so I didn't have any trouble. Next time I participate, I would like to have a revenge on a nice day.

今回ﾂｱｰに参加させて頂きましたが、生憎の天気で
せっかくの綺麗な海と空の色が満足するように見れず、とても残念でした。
途中から強い雨が降ったりなどで、船上でもとても寒かったです。

ｽﾀｯﾌの方々は日本人の方がいたりして、困ることはありませんでした。
次参加する時は、天気の良い日にﾘﾍﾞﾝｼﾞしたいです。

The sea in heaven was more beautiful than I imagined. Although there wasn't a sandy beach, it felt great just to walk around, and you can take wonderful photos.

I also recommend snorkeling afterward. It was an amazing experience when I encountered a sea turtle while swimming.

Lastly, when I returned to the boat after swimming, it was quite cold, so I think having a light jacket would be convenient.

天国の海は想像以上にキレイでした。砂浜が出てるわけではなかったけど、歩くだけで気持ちいいし、素敵な写真が撮れます。

またその後のシュノーケリングがオススメです。泳いでるときに海ガメと出会えたときは感動です。

最後泳いだあと船に戻ったときに、けっこう寒かったので、羽織りものがあったほうが便利と思います。

I highly recommend this experience as you can see sea turtles and tropical fish up close. Since you'll be in the water for quite a while, it's a good idea to bring a hoodie or something to keep warm. There are no lockers available, so you'll need to put your belongings in a box with everyone else's, so I suggest bringing only the essentials like some money (for purchasing DVDs, etc.) and a bath towel.

ウミガメ、熱帯魚が超まじかで見れる貴重な体験ができるのでお勧めです。水につかる時間が結構あるので体が冷えないようにパーカー等を持って行かれることやロッカーがなくボックスに荷物を皆と一か所に入れるので必要最低限のお金(DVD等を購入するため)やバスタオルくらいを携帯することをお勧めします。

At first, I was nervous getting on the scooter, but I quickly got used to it and enjoyed the underwater scenery. I also had a great time with my first stand-up paddle in the shallow waters, making it a fulfilling tour. Next time I visit Hawaii, I want to invite my parents and join again! However, the price for the underwater photos was a bit high... but since it's a memory, I ended up buying them anyway (laughs).

最初はドキドキでスクーターに乗り込みましたが、すぐに慣れ、水中の様子を楽しむことができました。浅瀬での初スタンダップパドルも楽しめて満喫のツアーでした。次回ハワイ訪問時は両親を誘ってまた参加したいです！！ただ、少し水中で撮っていただける写真のお値段が高かったのが…でも思い出なので買ってしまいましたが(笑)

The underwater scooter experience was very valuable and fun. When we went to the sandbar, someone there said they would take pictures and send them to us later, but we received nothing! When I inquired, they said they didn't take any pictures, making it seem like I was lying. That was the worst. Even after they dropped us off at the place to return by boat, we weren't given any instructions on what to do next, and everyone was confused. I understand they want tips, but I wish they had been more thorough until the end. It's really disappointing, especially since the underwater scooter was so enjoyable.

水中スクーターはとても貴重な体験で楽しかったです。サンドバーに行った時そこにいた人が写真を撮ってくれて後で送ってあげると言われたのに何も無し！！問い合わせてもそんな写真撮ってないと言われあたしが嘘ついているかのような対応。最低です。船で帰る場所に下ろしてもらえたあともどうするか指示されず皆さん困っていました。チップ欲しいのはわかるが最後までしっかりして欲しかったです。水中スクーターが楽しかっただけにとても残念です

I was looking forward to it, but... I decided to go because I heard that the makeup wouldn't come off (considering taking photos), but due to a malfunction with the machine, I ended up soaking wet... This is unacceptable.

楽しみにしていたのですが…
メイクなど落ちないとのことで(写真撮ること考え)決めたのに
機械の不具合？でびしょ濡れ…
ありえません

It was disappointing that it was cloudy, but the sandbar and snorkeling were just as good as I expected. The meals on the boat had a variety of options and were satisfactory. I also got to see a turtle.

曇りだったのが残念でしたが、サンドバーもシュノーケリングも予想どおり良かったです。
船上での食事も、いろいろ種類があって満足水準でした。カメさんも見れました。

The 8:00 pickup was delayed, so when I called, they answered in English. The voucher stated that both English and Japanese support were available, but when I asked for a Japanese speaker, I was told there wasn't one. After waiting for a while, I was picked up, but upon arriving at the information center, I was told, "Let's go on the boat!" within a minute, without any instructions on how to operate the Sea Bob. I was left feeling anxious and confused.

The weather was rainy and extremely cold, and despite the voucher stating that warm coffee and tea would be provided, we were given ice-cold water. While the weather is no one's fault, it was freezing, and the pickup vehicle had the air conditioning on full blast, making me shiver the entire time.

Since I was the first to finish, I had to wait for the last group to finish while enduring terrible boat swaying. I was told that snorkeling was an option, but that was the least of my concerns. Although it was stated that we would have 15 minutes on the Sea Bob, it was less than 10 minutes.

I believe it was a valuable experience, and the underwater scenery was beautiful, and I even saw a sea turtle. However, since the experience was heavily affected by the weather, I discussed with other Japanese participants that the price was too high for what we received, especially considering the additional cost for photos.

8:00ピックアップが遅れたので電話をすると英語で出ました。バウチャーには英語、日本語対応と書いてありJapanese speaker pleaseと言ったところいないと言われた。
しばらく待ってピックアップされたが案内所について1分でさあ、船で行こう！とシーボブについての操作方法をなにも聞かされていないのにも関わらず君たち1番に行ってと言われて何もわからず不安しかなかった。
天気は雨でものすごく寒かったしこちらもバウチャーに暖かいコーヒー紅茶用意してあると書かれていたにも関わらずキンキンに冷えた水。
天気はだれのせいでもないのだが極寒で、ピックアップの車も冷房がすごく、終始震えていました。
1番に終わったのでその後最後の方々が終わるまで酷い船揺れの中ひたすら待っていた。
シュノーケリングもできるよと言われたがそれどころではない。
シーボブも15分回れると書いてあったにもかかわらず10分もなかった。
貴重な体験を出来たと思うし海の中は綺麗で海亀も会えました。
しかし天気に左右されまくったので写真代別でこの値段は高すぎると同じ日本人参加者と話していました。

Whether the sand appears on land depends on the timing and the state of the low tide that day, so whether you can see a scene like the one in the photo is a matter of luck. During our visit, it was after the peak of low tide in the afternoon, and the water was up to our shins, so it wasn't the sandbar like in the photo, but it was still very beautiful and satisfying.

I recommend seeing a sandbar at least once when you come to Hawaii.

砂が陸に出てくるかどうかは時期やその日の引き潮の状態次第なので、写真のような光景が見れるかどうかは運次第です。私たちの時は、引き潮のピークが過ぎた午後からで、スネあたりまでは水に浸かり、写真のようなサンドバーではなかったですが、それでも大変綺麗で満足しました。
ハワイに来たらサンドバーは一度は見ることをお勧めします。

great time and great fun. one of the best things to do in hawaii. saw sea turtles and even was allowed to hold an octopus. the workers had our safety in mind the entire time. great fun. a must do on hawaii. thanks for the memories.

I thought I absolutely had to join the Heaven's Sea tour, and it was definitely the right choice. I got to see turtles, and snorkeling was fun too. The BBQ was delicious!

天国の海は絶対外せないと思い参加しましたが大正解でした。亀も見れましたしシュノーケリングも楽しかったです。BBQも美味しかったですよ。

I had done the Sea Walker in Guam before, but it was my first experience with the new underwater scooter, and it was fun. It was amazing.

以前グアムでシーウォーカーをやった事はあったのですが新しい水中スクーターは初めての体験で楽しかったです。
最高でした。

I had an amazing time!
I really recommend it (ˊo̶̶̷ᴗo̶̶̷`)੭✧
I want to go again (♡´ ˘ `♡)
Next time, I hope it's sunny (∩´∀`∩)

めちゃめちゃ楽しかった！
ほんとオススメです(ˊo̶̶̷ᴗo̶̶̷`)੭✧
またいきたーい(♡´ ˘ `♡)
次は晴れてるときに(∩´∀`∩)

The explanation was very clear, and I was able to participate enjoyably. It's essential to have wet gear when the weather isn't good, so I was glad that it was provided. I was also moved by the sea turtles, pufferfish, and rays.

とてもわかりやすい説明で楽しく参加できました。天気が良くないときはウェット必須ですね、準備されていたのでよかったです。ウミガメやフグ、エイなど感動もありました。

Honestly, I feel a strong sense of disappointment. We moved from the meeting point to the office and watched an explanatory video. Up to that point, everything was fine, but after that, we waited about an hour for the boat to go out to sea. There was no explanation, and we just waited. Finally, when the boat arrived and we thought we were going out to sea, we just boarded another boat that had already gone out. On that boat, there was still no explanation, and we were made to wait for over an hour… and in the end, I got seasick. I ended up experiencing the underwater scooter while not feeling well.

By the way, there were about ten Japanese people on board with us, and almost everyone was struggling with seasickness; they all looked very uncomfortable. I definitely recommend that anyone participating in the future take measures against seasickness!

正直、残念という想いが強いです。
集合場所からオフィスまで移動し説明ビデオを観賞。ここまでは良かったのですが、その後は海にでる船を待つこと約1時間。なんの説明もなく、ただただ待つだけ。やっと船が来て海に出たと思ったら、先に海に出ていた船へ乗船するだけ。その船でもまったく説明がないまま、さらに1時間以上待たされ…あげくのはてに船酔い。体調が優れないまま水中スクーターを体験するという結果になりました。
ちなみに一緒に乗船していた中に日本の方が10名ほどおりましたが、ほぼ全員の方が船酔いとの闘いで、皆さんもとて辛そうでした。
ぜひ今後、参加される方は必ず船酔い対策をし参加されることをおすすめします‼

I went in April, and it was cold. It feels even colder with the wind, so wearing a wetsuit makes it more enjoyable. Be careful with rash guards, as they can make you feel even colder when the wind blows. The water is clear, and there are fish and turtles, so I think girls and children would like it. If you have a waterproof camera, you can take pictures. Non-waterproof cameras are not allowed because they could get damaged.

4月に行きましたが寒いです。風があると尚更寒いのでウェット来たほうが楽しめます。ラッシュガードは風が吹くと余計寒いので注意が必要です。水が綺麗で魚や亀がいますので女の子や子供は好きと思います。
カメラは防水なら撮って貰えます。非防水は壊す危険があるとかで撮ってもらえません。
