All Reviews for Beginner Snorkeling Tours

This activity was a highlight of our trip! The crew was great & we had a blast snorkeling/Snuba-ing! We highly suggest doing the SNUBA! Ross was our guide, and helped make us feel comfortable with everything and helped make our experience great! Food and Drinks were an added bonus. Didn't see any Dolphins, but plenty of beautiful fish, starfish, & turtles. Would do this again in a heartbeat!

Holy cow, if you can afford this, DO IT! Up close and personal with the fishes--you can pet them and everything. There is a food thingey attached to each sub scooter, so that's why they are coming right up to you, it's awesome.
Lots of turtles in the water too--we had one swim right next to us! Afterward, when on the boat, several others swam close around us.
The divers were all great guys to work with. Very good at their job, and very nice to everyone. A great crew. They also take photos and video of you with the sea life while you are down there--you can purchase these afterward. Plan on it--$50 for both photos and video. They are great, and you can't get as good with your own camera (at least I don't see how you would).
I also preferred this to snorkeling, because of being deeper in the water, the view is much different, yet there are no worries about breathing or anything--it's the awesomeness of being in a bubble! Absolutely fantastic adventure. Highly recommend.

Thoroughly enjoyed the tour. The crew were great and everything went well.

Saw Dolphins/ turtles and plenty of marine life.

Snorkelling was great. Also upgraded to snuba which was really good and definitely worth it.

I was able to see a sea turtle while snorkeling. It is said that for every sea turtle you see, something happy happens. During the snorkeling, I was able to take photos with a waterproof camera, and there was a cheerful atmosphere throughout as participants and staff took pictures for each other.

シュノーケル中にウミガメが泳いでいるのを見ることができました。ウミガメが１匹見るごとに１つ幸せなことが起きるといわれているそうです。シュノーケル中に防水カメラで写真が撮ることができ、参加者同士やスタッフの方に写真を撮ってもらうなど、終始にこやかな雰囲気でした。

It was a very nice day, so it felt really good to go. The water was about knee-deep to waist-deep. I didn't expect much from the barbecue lunch, but it was surprisingly delicious, and I went back for seconds.

とても天気がいい日にいけたのでようでとても気持ちよかったです。
膝下の深さから、腰ぐらいの深さでした。
お昼のバーベキューランチも期待してなかったのですが、意外に美味しくておかわりをしました。

Great crew as it was full service. Food and drinks were good and plenty to go around. Water was very clear. We saw a white tip shark, turtle, plenty of colorful fish and an amazing starfish which was like a spider. Ross was our personal Snubba coach and he was top professional. Yes we would do it again.

Reccomend this activity for those who can swim and in good shape. I've always wanted to scuba dive and this was a great solution without buy equipment.Ross was the instructor who took great care for our safety. Fish, starfish, urchins, shark and a huge turtle were seen. Fabulous experience.

When they say "Turtles Guaranteed", they are not joking. After a quick sail from the harbor to the snorkel (about 15 to 20 minutes) we dived in to see like six or seven large Hawaiian green sea turtles relaxing beneath us. It was absolutely incredible :D

The spot they took us to is this amazing location where turtles like to congregate and chill out while they get their shells cleaned off by schools of fish. Since we went on the morning snorkel, we beat the crowds and got to swim and snorkel leisurely without any fuss.

I didn't think to bring a GoPro or an underwater camera, but if you have one, or can get your hands on one, DO IT! The photo opportunities are amazing. The turtles like to lazily swim around and they are just so photogenic.

Great tour! Can't wait to go again!!!

Last year, I couldn't participate due to being fully booked because I applied at the last minute, but this year I made a reservation about two months in advance and was looking forward to it. The weather on the day was decent. I arrived with high hopes of what the heavenly sea would be like. The sandbar had water up to my knees. However, this was unavoidable due to the tide... I was expecting to see something during the next snorkeling session, but I found myself wondering what they wanted to show us at a point where we just lined up with masks and no fins, going back and forth a bit before it ended. I was left thinking that Hawaii is really not a place to play in the sea.

去年は間際の申し込みで満員のため果たせず、今年は約2ヶ月前に予約し楽しみにして参加しました。当日の天気はまずまず。さあ天国の海はどんな風かと期待に胸を膨らませ 到着。サンドバーは膝ぐらいまでの水の下。しかしこれも潮位のことでやむを得ない...。次のシュノーケリングで何かを...と期待していたけれどここで何を見せたいの？と思うポイントをマスクのみフィンなしで行列して少し往復しておしまい。？？？と思わせる海中の景色にハワイはやっぱり海で遊ぶところではないと深ーく思った次第です。

Since you're scootering around in a bay, you won't have the beauty of any coral reefs but bread feeding will attract the fish and the experience as a whole is alot of fun. You can snorkel around and if you have an underwater camera like I did, you can take some really fun pictures. There are scuba diving lessons going on in the area as well as the water jet pack session. The captain and the diving crew were fun and helpful. Your safety is the #1 thing on their minds. The water was warm enough and even though we were on a boat with no English speaking people, we all had a good time.

Since all the staff were Japanese, the explanations were easy to understand, and I was able to get on right away, which made me feel safe and enjoy myself. I was also happy that the accompanying staff took many photos when I handed over my digital camera. I had so much fun that I want to choose a longer course next time I come!

全員日本人スタッフさんだったので、説明もわかりやすく、すぐに乗れるようになり、安心して楽しめました。持ってきたデジカメを預けたら、同行スタッフさんがたくさん撮ってくださったのも嬉しかったです。次にまた来れたら、もっと長く乗れるコースにしたい！と思うくらい楽しかったです。

It was much more beautiful to see the fish and turtles swimming up close than just through snorkeling, and I was truly moved. They took beautiful photos and videos for me, and I couldn't help but buy the video, especially since it captured the turtles swimming beautifully for a long time. I also appreciated that they sent the purchased photos and videos via email. The diving guides were all very kind. However, while they could speak some Japanese, there were moments when communication was a bit challenging. There were only two underwater scooters available on one boat, so while waiting, you could go snorkeling, but the timing for getting in and out wasn't very clear, so you had to be careful not to bump into the divers. You could say it was a bit haphazard, or you could say it was free-spirited, but overall, I had a great time. It became a wonderful memory!

魚やカメが間近で泳ぐところを、シュノーケリングで見るよりも何倍もきれいに見れて、感動しました。写真と動画もきれいに撮ってもらい、特に動画にはカメの泳ぐところがきれいに長く映っていたので、思わず買ってしまいました。買った写真と動画は、データでメールに送ってくれるのもありがたかったです。案内のダイバーの方々もみんな親切でした。ただ、日本語がぺらぺらかというとそうではなく、少し意思疎通が難しいところもありました。水中スクーターは1つの船に2つしかないので、待っている間はシュノーケリングをしてもよいのですが、入ったりあがったりするタイミングがはっきりしていないので、自分で気をつけていないとダイバーの人とぶつかりそうになってしまいます。悪くいえば適当、良くいえば自由ですが、全体的にとても楽しかったです。いい思い出になりました！

We changed our whole itinerary just to go and do the sea trek adventure and we were not disappointed. It was one of the most amazing things we have ever done. The crew was friendly, experienced and very professional. They made you feel relaxed which allows you to enjoy. Great time!
Thank you.

The weather was cloudy and the water level was up to my waist, which was a bit different from the sandbar I saw in the pictures, but the staff were fun and kind, making it an enjoyable experience.
I was moved to see sea turtles and beautiful fish up close while snorkeling.
Next time, I want to participate again on a sunny day.

天気は曇っていて水位も腰まであり写真で見ていたサンドバーとは少し違いましたが、スタッフの皆さんが面白く親切で楽しかったです。
シュノーケリングで泳いだ海はウミガメやキレイなお魚をすぐそばで見れて感動しました。
今度はお天気のいい日にまた参加したいです。

The submarine scooter is a must try!! Bring motion sickness pills just in case, I thought I didn't need it but I didn't have any. Doesn't require you to know how to swim, the divers will be with you most of the time and watch you from a distance when you're settled in. Lots of fishes to see. Pictures are taken by the divers and available for purchase sent via email.

My husband and I went out on 9/29/15 ...we have done zip lining. ..a helicopter ride...my husband went parasailing. ...but nothing even slightly compared to the amazing adventure at bobs underwater scooter adventure . I am a big scarey cat while my husband is a dare devil...we both agree this was the best! Not scary except for the unease at first of not knowing what it will be like. Then there you are breathing regularly at the bottom of the ocean! We played with turtles hundred of fish...octopus (the handlerers... that are in scuba gear and accompany you and video your visit under the sea...found the octopus and played with them for us to see and touch) this is not a controlled area it is a spot they choose to stop the boat...so it's all just natural nature! I want to bring my whole family to Hawaii just to come here! GO! DON'T CONSIDER NOT DOING THIS!

Had an awesome adventure! Would highly recommend this excursion!

Someone asked me today what my favorite activity was in Hawaii and I told them hands down the Dolphin and Snorkel Catamaran trip was the best and most memorable. We got to see a large pod of Hawaiian Spinner Dolphins and then snorkeling saw some Sea Turtles and many varieties of tropical fish. The wind picked up enough on our way back that the crew put the beautiful sails up and we sailed back .The food and drink were great and the crew were beyond helpful and so much fun. This is the one activity I would be sure to do again when we come back to Oahu!

The underwater scooter allowed us to dive deep into the water, and it was so much fun to see beautiful tropical fish gathering right in front of us. We could also view swimming sea turtles from below, which offered a different kind of enjoyment compared to snorkeling.

I was surprised that the staff took photos and videos for us (which can be downloaded later for a fee online), and they were very attentive, skillfully guiding couples underwater and helping them hold hands.

There was also a female staff member who spoke Japanese, which was reassuring. It seemed like there was time for snorkeling as well, but we went by boat to a sandbar in a different location. The sandbar in Kaneohe was indeed amazing.

水中スクーターは水中深く入り、本当に綺麗な海の熱帯魚が目の前にすごく集まって来たのが楽しかったです。泳いでいる水カメも下から眺めることができ、シュノーケリングとは違った楽しさがありました。
びっくりしたのは、スタッフが写真と動画を撮ってくれたのですが（後でネット経由で有料でダウンロードできます）、カップルで参加した場合、二人を水中でうまく誘導し手を繋がせるなどサービス精神に満ちていました。
ちょうど日本語のできる女性スタッフもいて安心でした。シュノーケリングも時間があればできたようですが、私たちはボートで別の場所のサンドバーに行きました。
サンドーは、やはりカネオヘの方がすごいです。

The staff were awesome, casual enough so that everyone felt at ease but professional enough that we both felt safe, heaps of fun, would recommend to everyone.

I visited for a wedding and honeymoon trip.
**Exploring the Sandbar**
I checked the tide levels in Kaneohe Bay in advance and booked the "morning plan" for the second day of our itinerary. Since we participated at low tide, I was able to fully enjoy the strange sensation of standing in the middle of the ocean! It seems that only Captain Bruce can dock at the shallowest point. Just standing there and taking in the beautiful scenery around me was refreshing and enjoyable.
**Snorkeling Point**
It felt like everyone who wanted to snorkel lined up and swam together. We wanted to relax freely, so we borrowed a float and played instead of participating. It was quite cold after getting out of the water, so the warm soup was very appreciated.
**Light Snacks**
As soon as we got on the boat, we were served bread and drinks, and after arriving at the snorkeling point, light snacks were provided buffet-style. It was more substantial than I had imagined, so I wished I had gone easy on breakfast.

結婚式＆ハネムーン旅行で訪れました。
【サンドバー散策】
事前にカネオヘ湾の潮位を調べてから、旅程２日目に『午前プラン』を予約しました。干潮時に参加できたので、海の真ん中に立っている不思議な感覚を存分に味わえました！キャプテン・ブルースさんしか停泊できない一番浅いポイントらしいです。その場に立って、周りの美しい景色を眺めているだけで清々しく、楽しかったです。
【シュノーケルポイント】
希望者全員で並んで泳いで行くかんじでした。私たちは自由にのんびりしたかったので、参加せず浮き輪を借りて遊んでいました。海から上がった後は結構寒かったので、温かいスープはとてもありがたかったです。
【軽食】
船に乗ってすぐパンと飲み物が、シュノーケルポイントに着いてからバイキング形式で軽食が出ました。想像以上に充実していたので、朝食を控えめにしておけばよかったなと思いました。

Cracias por sus atenciones y amabilidad y de igual forma gracias por hacer de nuestra luna de miel algo inolvidable

This was an excellent day out for the two of us. Unfortunately I had difficulty snorkelling but was not pressured by the staff to keep trying. My boyfriend saw some amazing sights while snorkelling and snuba-ing, including a turtle (see photo). We received complimentary drinks (including alcohol) and lunch was either a chicken or pulled pork sandwich which was lovely. Cameron the snuba instructor was very nice and informative and tried his best to give us an enjoyable trip.

What a great time! Crew was awesome, kind and patient. Tended to everyone's needs to make sure the trip was enjoyable. Thanks to Doug for taking my call (every morning) to see if we would be able to snorkel since the weather wasn't cooperating. Christine from jersey.

I participated in the same tour five years ago, but unfortunately, the weather was bad, so I decided to try again this time. This time, we were blessed with good weather and had a wonderful time! The blue sea, the blue sky, and I was able to see about three sea turtles up close multiple times! I'm glad I went for the revenge tour♪ I recommend participating for anyone going to Hawaii!

5年前にも同じツアーに参加したのですが、運悪く天気が悪かったので今回リベンジしました。
今回は天候にも恵まれ楽しい時間を過ごすことができました！
青い海、青い空、海ガメも３頭くらい、何度も身近で見ることができました！
リベンジしてよかったです♪
ハワイに行かれる方は参加することをオススメします！

As someone who grew up on Oahu, I'm skeptical of all the overhyped promises to tourist, but this trip really delivered. I tooky husband and an out of town guest and not only did we see multiple honu, the crew was just super. They were extra helpful with newbies to snorkeling and made everyone feel very welcome.

This was our second time on this tour, it's beautiful.

We've been to Oahu a couples of times and have always done different excursions. By far BOB's underwater scooter was the best one we have ever done! Everything from the pick to the drop off to our hotel was a great experience! Everyone on their team was extremely courteous and friendly. The water scooter itself was such an amazing experience. It was very easy and comfortable to ride the scooters. To be that comfortable and see the beauty of the underwater life was breathe taking. I high recommend not only this excursion but this company of you are looking for a lifetime of amazing memories!

I loved it! The crew was so awesome and friendly. The snorkling was beautiful and tranquilizing. All in all it was a PERFECT day.

Good time was had by all. If you don't have good sea legs, the captain may allow you to snorkel around the boat weather permitting. Be prepared to wait for others to have their turn, but you can see the fish whilst waiting as they are used to come up for feeding. The team were friendly and well organised (expect to tip at the end), good activity, although it doesn't top scuba diving.
