All Reviews for Beginner Snorkeling Tours

The sea was beautiful, but there was nothing to do during free time other than take a walk. The snorkeling was not as clear as I had hoped, and visibility was poor. The weather was nice, though...

きれいな海ではあったが、フリーの時間は散歩すること以外、することがなかった。
シュノーケリングは、思ったより海が透き通ってなく、視界が悪かった。
天気も良かったのだが・・・。

I was moved by the sea turtles that were swimming around the boat for a long time; they were so cute. The lunch we had on the boat was also very delicious.

海亀がずーっと船のまわりにいて、あまりのかわいさに感動しました。
船の上で食べたランチもとってもおいしかったです。

I fully enjoyed the feeling of being embraced by nature. I want to go again!

自然に抱かれてる実感を満喫しました。また行きた~い！

It's a beautiful and mysterious place. I recommend it.

新婚旅行での参加です。
とてもきれいで、不思議な場所です。
おすすめします。

I was amazed by the size of the sea turtles. The beauty of the ocean was just as I had heard. While snorkeling, I felt my physical limits. The waves were rough, and it was disappointing that I couldn't see anything! (I was grateful for the help that came to me, haha.) Spending time in such a beautiful place with my son, who is studying abroad at UH, became an unforgettable memory.

ウミガメの大きさには驚きました。海の美しさも評判通りでした。シュノーケルでは体力の限界を感じました。波が荒くて何も見えなくて残念！（助けにきてくださって助かりました(笑)）
UHに留学中の息子と久しぶりにあんなに美しい場所で過ごせて一生忘れない思い出になりました。

We were blessed with clear skies and low tide, allowing us to enjoy the heavenly sea.

A sea turtle swam right up to us in the vast sandy beach that was dry up to our ankles.

Although it didn't completely dry up, we were able to fully appreciate its beauty.

The guide was also enjoyable and provided excellent navigation, which made us feel at ease.

晴天にも恵まれ、干潮にも恵まれ天国の海を楽しめました。
足首まで干上がった広大な砂浜に、ウミガメが目前までスイスイと泳いでいます。

完全に干上がるまではいきませんでしたが、十分美しさを堪能できました。

またガイドの方も楽しく、しっかりとナビゲーションしてくださるので安心できました

It was a bit cloudy and cold in December, but the sea was incredibly beautiful and I was moved!

The lunch was also luxurious and I was very satisfied! ☆

12月参加で少し曇っていて寒かったのですが、海はものすごくきれいで感動しました！

ランチも豪華で大満足でした☆

I participated in an afternoon BBQ lunch tour.

I wanted to walk on the sand where the water had receded, but the water level was about 15 to 20 centimeters, which was a bit disappointing... Still, the beauty of the ocean and the surrounding scenery was truly amazing!! After walking on the sandbar, I snorkeled for about 20 minutes, but it was quite cold. A sea turtle swam right by me, and I was able to see it up close.

All the staff were very friendly, and I had a really enjoyable time!♪♪

午後のBBQランチ付きツアーに参加しました。

水の引いた砂の上を歩きたかったのですが、水位が１５~２０センチほどありちょっと残念でした・・・
それでも海の綺麗さ、周りの景色は本当に最高でした！！
サンドバーウォーキングの後は、シュノーケリングを２０分ほどしたのですがかなり寒かったです。泳いでいるすぐそばを海ガメが通りすぎて間近で見ることができました。

スタッフの方の皆さん感じがよく、とても楽しい時間を過ごすことができましたっ♪♪

Depending on the weather and other conditions, if you're lucky, you can see a scene resembling a sandbar floating in the sea.

When we went, we were fortunate enough to see such a sight.

We were also able to see a few sea turtles.

I think it's worth participating if you go there.

天候等の条件によりますが、運が良いと海に浮かぶ砂洲のような光景が見られます。

私達が行った時は、運良くそのような光景が見られました。

また、ウミガメも数匹見ることができました。

現地に行ったら、参加する価値はあると思います。

The staff were very good. The boat was clean, and the snacks were delicious, so I was satisfied. However, it was a bit cold for snorkeling, so I would like to participate again during a warmer season! The scenery was truly wonderful when the sun was shining!!!

スタッフの方たちがとてもよかったです。
船もきれいで、軽食もおいしく満足でした。
ただシュノーケルするのには少し寒い時期だったので、
もう少し暖かい時期にまた参加したいです！！
太陽があたると本当に素晴らしい景色でした！！！

This was an excellent half-day experience. We went out on a large, spacious catamaran with a crew of 4, and in the course of 2 guided snorkling drops we had multiple sightings of dolphin, saw a giant turtle moving along the sea floor and another (or possibly the same one) pausing to breathe at the surface, and encountered countless colorful (and near-fearless) fish. We saw coral, too, with coral arches (our guide dived down and swam under one) and a "coral garden" area.

After the second dive we were given hot BBQ sandwiches and mixed fruit, with a choice of chicken or pork sandwhiches. There was plenty of room for everyone to find a spot in the sun (when it shone), and cabin shelter when we felt chilly.

The crew were friendly, safety-conscious, and proactive in large and small ways. Everyone was encouraged to wear a lifejacket for the first snorkel drop, and there were 2 crew members in the water with us, one as a guide and one to stay with the first-timers (he brought a surfboar

This was a great experience. My husband and I enjoyed the activity and the knowledgeable staff.

Despite it being the rainy season, it didn't rain on the day we participated. However, the temperature wasn't very high, so it was a bit chilly. I can't really recommend this time of year, especially since it often rains. That said, going out on a yacht was completely different from enjoying the sea at the beach, and it felt great. I also tried snorkeling for the first time in my life, and the staff were very kind, which made me feel safe participating. I was able to see many beautiful fish near the coral.

雨季にも関わらず、私たちが参加した日は雨は降りませんでした＾＾
でも、気温はあまり高くなかったので、肌寒かったです＾＾；
特に雨のよく降る今の時期はあまりお勧めできません。
とはいえ、ヨットで沖に出るのは、ビーチで海を楽しむのとは全然違って、気持ちよかったです☆
そして、人生初のシュノーケリングに挑戦しましたが、スタッフの方もとっても親切で、安心して参加できました♪
サンゴの近くのきれいなお魚もたくさん見ることができました＾＾

Recently, I participated with my family. The sandbar had seawater up to about my knees, and it looked very different from the photos. I think it would be better to check the tide schedules to avoid disappointment. Since December is the rainy season, it rained on the day of our visit, and the wind was strong; when we got out of the water, my daughter's lips were purple and trembling. Since there are no changing facilities, I recommend bringing warm clothes. Unfortunately, we only had a little time for snorkeling, and I wished we could have taken it a bit slower. We did see the sea turtles properly! The staff were all kind and friendly. Next time, I want to check the timing and participate again.

先日、家族と参加させていただきました。サンドバーは膝下位まで海水があり、写真の感じとは全然ちがいます。潮の満ち引きをよく調べて行った方ががっかり感はなくてすむと思います。12月は雨期ということもあり当日は雨が降ったり、風も強く海から上がった時は娘の唇は紫色で震えていました。着替えをできないので暖かい服を持って行かれた方がいいと思います。シュノーケルの時間がほんの少ししかなくて残念でした。もうちょっとゆっくりしたかったです。うみがめはちゃんと見られましたよ！スタッフの方々はみなさん親切でいい感じでした。今度は時期を調べて、もう一度参加したいです。

The sea was beautiful, and I got to see sea turtles, it was the best!

海も綺麗だし、海カメも見れたし最高でした！

It was disappointing that it was cloudy and cold, but it was a place I definitely wanted to visit in Hawaii, so I was very happy. When we arrived at the port, they handed out malasadas, which was unexpected and made me happy. The water level was about calf-deep, and it was a beautiful sea. Since it was our honeymoon, I wanted to order a DVD, but I didn't because of the cloudy weather, which was a shame. If I can go again, I definitely want to go on a sunny day! The sea turtles were around the boat the whole time and were so cute! Also, they were selling underwater cameras for $20 on the boat, but I could have bought one for a bit cheaper if I had purchased it in advance, so that was a mistake. The Japanese staff lady was funny and cute!

曇り空で寒かったのが残念でしたが、ハワイに行ったら絶対に行きたい場所だったのでとてもよかったです。
港に着いたときにマサラダが配られて、思いがけなかったので嬉しかったです。
水位はふくらはぎ下くらいで、きれいな海でした。
ハネムーンだったのでＤＶＤも頼みたかったけど、曇り空が残念だったので頼みませんでした。
次回行けたら、ぜひ晴れた日に行きたいです！
ウミガメがずっと船の周りにいてくれてとれもかわいかった！
あと、船の上で水中カメラを20ドルで売ってくれましたが、前もって買っておけばもう少し安く買えたので、失敗でした。
日本人スタッフのお姉さんが面白くて、かわいかったです♪

This is my fifth time in Hawaii, but it was my first time participating in this tour! I had no idea such a wonderful place existed! Since I tend to get seasick, I was a bit anxious, but I took some motion sickness medication beforehand and it was totally fine! I was worried about whether the turtles would show up for turtle watching, but I ended up seeing four turtles! The guide was also Japanese, and he was very clear and entertaining☆ The snacks were more than just light bites; they were substantial! Unlimited refills made it the best☆ And the sandbar! It was so beautiful that I couldn't help but scream (laughs). Eating and taking photos in such a lovely place was amazing and became a treasure for me! I was moved to see a wild turtle swimming around the boat at the sandbar! It seemed friendly and didn't leave the area around the boat! It was so cute! I also had a DVD made for $45, which was a slideshow with background music that felt like something you’d see at a wedding, and I’m very satisfied with it!

However, I think it gets cold in winter with the water being chilly and the wind being strong, so a jacket is definitely necessary! But when the sun is out, it feels warm☆ This is a tour I want to go on every time I visit Hawaii! I want to participate again next year!

HAWAIIは５回目ですが初めて参加しました！
こんな素敵な場所があったなんて知りませんでした！
船酔いするタイプなので、少し不安でしたが、いちよ酔い止めを飲んでおいたら全然大丈夫でした！
タートルウォッチングも亀さん達が出てきてくれるか心配でしたがなんと４匹もの亀さんとご対面できました！
ガイドさんも日本人の方で、わかりやすくとても面白かったです☆
軽食も軽食どころか、ガッツリ！
おかわり自由で最高でした☆
そしてなんといってもサンドバー！
あまりにも美しくて悲鳴をあげてしまいました（笑）
あんな素敵な場所でのご飯や、写真撮影は最高で、宝物になりました！
サンドバーに浮かぶ船の周りを泳いでる一匹の野生の亀さんがいて感動しました！
人懐っこいらしく船の周りからはなれませんでした！とってもカワイイかったです！
45$でDVDも作っていただきました！結婚式で流れそうなBGM有りのスライドショーのDVDでとても満足しています！

ただ冬の時期に行くと水が冷たかったり風が強く寒いと思うので上着は絶対必要です！
でも、太陽が出ていると温かいです☆
HAWAIIに行ったら毎回行きたいツアーです！
また来年も参加したいです！

Six months ago, I participated in this tour with my daughter and was deeply moved, so this time I joined with friends. Last time, I wrote about the port's restroom and my concerns about snorkeling, but this time, six months later, everything has been perfectly improved, and I was moved by that as well.

If I could make one more request, I think it would be safer and more reassuring to be able to borrow water shoes during snorkeling.

This time, the tide was low, and I was able to walk in water up to my shins. The scenery of Jurassic Park is breathtaking no matter how many times I see it.

半年前に娘とこのツアーに参加して感動をして、今度は友達と参加しました。
前回、港のトイレのことや、シュノーケリングの不安を書き込みしましたが、半年後の今回は、どれも完璧に改善されていて、それにも感動しました。
もう一つお願いできれば、シュノーケリングのときにウォーターシューズも貸し出してもらえるとより安全に安心してシュノーケリングが出来ると思います。

今回は潮もよく引いていて、すねのところまでの水かさでウォーキングできました。
ジェラシックパークの風景も何度見ても感動です。

The sea was a bit deep and cold, which was disappointing, but I was very satisfied with the fantastical beauty of the ocean. Next time, I would like to do some research on the tides before participating.

少し海が深くて寒くて残念でしたがとても幻想的な海で満足しています。でも次回は満潮干潮などの事前調べをして参加したいですね。

It's really disappointing when the weather is bad.

However, the staff tried to lift our spirits, which was very nice, and overall, I had a great time.

The food was delicious too.

But it was so cold because of the bad weather...

I definitely want to try again.

天気が悪いとホント残念です。

でもスタッフさんが盛り上げようとしてくれて、とても好感がもてたし、全体的には楽しかったです。

ごはんもおいしかったし。

ただもう天気悪かったんで寒くて寒くて・・・。

ぜひリベンジしたいですね。

This was our first experience with "BOB" and it was amazing! Especially for me as I'm a bit paranoid with being underwater and don't like water in my face and can't even handle snorkeling. I was afraid I wouldn't be able to handle it but after the initial nervousness of being submerged, I was able to see all the wonderful sites of colorful fish and sea turtles and my hair didn't even get wet!!! It was amazing!

It was a bit cloudy on the day, but the color of the sea was very beautiful. The sandbar wasn't as prominent as seen in advertisements, but it's still a strange place that's shallow despite being offshore. It seems advisable to check the low tide before making a reservation, as it can be waist-deep on deeper days.

I would like to participate again.

当日少し曇りがちでしたが、海の色はとてもきれいでした。
サンドバーは広告等見るほどは浮きでてはいませんが、それでも、沖合いなのに浅い不思議な場所です。
予約前に干潮を調べたほうがよさそうです。深い日は腰くらいまであるようです。

また、参加したいと思っています。

When I got off the boat and entered the sea, I was surprised to find a turtle bumping into my foot! The crystal-clear water was breathtaking.

ボートから降りて海に入ると、何と亀が私の足にぶつかっていてびっくり！透き通った海に、感激です。

I was drawn to the name "Heavenly Sea" and decided to join! The shallow sea was truly breathtaking. I think it's best to check the tide schedule before going. I did my research, so it was shallow when I went, but it seems that on some days the water can come up to your thighs.

The simple meal on the boat was just right, and it felt wonderful to enjoy it while looking at the sea. I was surprised to be able to swim with sea turtles while snorkeling! It was so much fun!

I definitely want to participate again when I come back to Hawaii!

天国の海・・という名前に惹かれて参加しました！
本当に浅瀬の海が広がって感動的でした♪
行く時は潮の満ち引きをしっかり調べて行った方がいいと思います。私は調べて行ったので浅瀬になっていましたが、日によっては太ももくらいまで来る時もあるようです。

船の上の簡単な食事もちょうど良く、海を見ながらとっても気持ち良かったです♪
シュノーケリングでは海ガメと一緒に泳ぐことができてビックリ！！！！でも楽しかった~！！！

またハワイに来たら是非参加したいと思います♪

The 360-degree view of the ocean was incredibly beautiful. I was able to see sea turtles up close. I want to go again!

360度の海がとってもキレイでした。
うみがめもこんな近くで見れました。
また行きたい~！

This was one of the best activities one could imagine to do..well worth the cost..everyone enjoyed themselves...we could snorkle or use the "BOB"...staff was very knowledgeable and friendly. A must do activity for everyone...even a novice can do it...for all ages. My friend who isn't a great swimmer and never snorkled before enjoyed himself immensly...excellent !!!

I was really looking forward to this tour during my trip, and it was truly, truly enjoyable!! The scenery was beautiful, and the staff were kind, which made me feel at ease throughout the tour. I went with three friends, and everyone was extremely satisfied, saying this tour was the best! I would definitely recommend it to anyone going to Hawaii!!

旅行のなかでこのツアーを一番楽しみにしていたのですが、本当に本当に楽しかったです！！
景色がきれいなのはもちろん、スタッフのみなさんもやさしくて安心してツアーにのぞむことができました☆
友人３人といったのですが、みんなこのツアーが一番だったと大満足です☆☆
ハワイに行く人がいればおすすめしたいと思います！！

We participated in the afternoon session with our family of three, including our 2-year-old. First, I recommend checking the website for low tide days and making a reservation. Since it wasn't low tide this time, even in the shallowest areas, the water reached about our bottoms, and we couldn't see the beautifully exposed sandbar as in the photos. The weather was also quite cloudy, so when we got fully wet, it felt particularly cold when we got out. For those who are sensitive to the cold, I recommend keeping your upper body dry. Still, we were able to see sea turtles swimming near the boat, and if you're lucky, they might come close to you. The sea was beautiful, and we were quite satisfied. The food was delicious too. Small children cannot participate in snorkeling after landing on the sandbar (an adult must accompany the child), but we didn't get bored as we could eat first or watch turtles from the boat. The staff were all cheerful and fun, which was great. They spoke a bit quickly, but I guess that's understandable since they say the same things every day. They strongly advise against bringing anything other than waterproof cameras during the sandbar landing. We were a bit anxious about that and wanted to take family photos, so we requested a DVD, which turned out quite well. The DVD was handed over at a store near DFS that night. Since it was cash on delivery, we didn't need any money when boarding. However, I slightly regret not bringing a camera in a waterproof case. If I have the opportunity to go to Hawaii again, I would like to participate again.

家族三人（2歳児含む）で午後の会に参加しました。まずはHPより干潮の日を探して予約することをお勧めします。今回は干潮でなかったため、一番浅いところでもお尻の下くらいまで水につかる感じで、写真のようなきれいに干上がったサンドバーをみることはできませんでした。そして天気も曇りがちだったので、全身水に濡れると、あがった時にことさら寒かったです。寒がりな方は上半身を濡らさないことをお勧めします。それでも船の近くをウミガメが泳ぎ、運が良ければぶつかって？来たり、海もきれいで十分満足できるものでした。お食事もおいしかったですよ。小さい子供は、サンドバー上陸後のシュノーケリングには参加できません（大人一人は子供についていないといけません）が、先に食事をしたり、船から亀をみたり飽きることはありませんでした。スタッフも明るく楽しい方ばかりでよかったです。ちょっと早口だったけど、毎日同じことを言っているのだから仕方ないかな・・・。サンドバー上陸時は、防水カメラ以外の持参は強くお勧めできません、と説明されます。うちはそれも不安だし、家族の写真を撮りたかったのでDVDを依頼しましたがなかなか良かったです。DVDは当日夜にはDFS傍の店で手渡し。代金引き換えなので、乗船時はお金の必要はありません。でも、防水ケースとかに入れてカメラ持参すればよかったかな、とちょっと後悔です。もしまたハワイにいく機会があったら参加したいと思います。

We had a great time during our trip! The service we received from the whole staff was exceptional! Everyone was very helpful and fun! They made sure we were comfortable and enjoying ourselves. I was also impressed that they gave extra attention to my dad who is a senior and took care of him. I am so glad I took my friends and family on this adventure and will definitely recommend this excursion to friends visiting Oahu!
