You can swim, snorkel or just enjoy the scenery from the boat while small groups take their turn touring the waters below with the scooters. The crew was very helpful and courteous. Everyone had a great time!

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^)/

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).

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

My 5-year-old nephew also participated. (The accompanying fee was a bit high...) We were able to play at the Kaizan Bar as if we had it all to ourselves. After this, we joined other underwater scooter participants by boat, and my nephew stayed on the boat while the three of us went diving. The clarity of the ocean was amazing. Each diver was with us, so it was completely not scary. By shaking a net filled with bread underwater, a huge number of fish gathered around us. A photographer took underwater photos for us (for a fee, and later, the photos will be sent via email. You can choose between videos and photos), so there’s no need to bring an underwater camera. While waiting on the boat, my nephew also got some bread and was allowed to feed the fish. Snacks and water are available freely. However, since you might get hungry, I recommend bringing some light snacks.
5歳の甥っ子も一緒に参加しました。(同行料金にしては高い。。。)
カイサンドバーで、貸切のような形で、遊べました。
この後、ボートで他の水中スクーター参加者と合流し、甥っ子は、ボートでお留守番させ、三人で潜りました。海の透明度すごいかったです。
一人ずつ、ダイバーがついてくれるので全く怖くありません。
水中で、パンの入った網をゆすることで、ものすごい勢いで魚たちが集まってきます。
カメラマンが水中写真を撮ってくれるので(有料で、のちほど、写真がメールで送られてきます。動画と写真選べます。)水中カメラを持っていく必要はありません。
ボートで待っている間、甥っ子もパンをもらい、えさやりをさせてもらいました。
スナック菓子と水は自由に頂けます。
しかし、お腹がすくので、軽食を持っていくことをおすすめします。

The underwater scooter was really great! They made an effort to gather fish by scattering food just before we went in, and they took pictures of us as a couple, which I think will create really fun memories (^^)♪ However, other aspects were lacking...
First, most of the staff didn't speak Japanese, so even when I wanted to confirm something, it was difficult to communicate. Also, I wasn't offered any light snacks, and I ended up not knowing where they were located. The explanation for the stand-up paddleboarding was just "You paddle while standing," and then we were left to figure it out on our own. It seems that aside from the underwater scooter, everything else was treated as just a way to pass the time. Considering that, I think it's an expensive option.
Also, it was very bumpy, so motion sickness medication is definitely necessary! I was confident that I wouldn't get seasick, but I experienced seasickness for the first time in my life (^^;
水中スクーターは本当によかったです!
直前にエサをまくなど魚を集める工夫をしてくれたりカップルだと
並んで写真を撮ってくれたり本当に楽しい思い出になると思います(^^)♪
ですがそれ以外が・・・
まずスタッフがほとんど日本語が通じなく確認したいことがあっても
なかなか通じなく困りました
あと軽食などいっさいすすめられることなく結局どこにあったも分からずじまいで
スタンドアップパドルボートも「立って漕ぐんだよ」ぐらいの説明であとは放置でした
結局水中スクーター以外は時間つぶしのおまけ的な扱いなのでしょう
そう考えると高いオプションだと思います
あとすごく揺れるので酔い止めは絶対必要です!!
絶対に酔わない自信があったのですが人生で初船酔いを体験しました(^^;

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。

Well, there was water and there was a ski, so I guess technically it was waterskiing. The company was professional, the driver was nice and the equipment worked with one exception. But, I usually go waterskiing on calm water, in a straight line, at a certain speed. The boat had no speedometer or speed controller, and we could only go around in a continuous circle, which, in my opinion makes the ride basically unskiable. I figured there would be some wind, and I can't hold it against the company that there were, I should have known, wakeboarders and tubers everywhere. Watetski magazine listed it as one of 10 best places to grab a quick set, but they should have listed it as simply a place to get a quick set.

I wanted to try riding a underwater scooter, so after considering various options, I decided to sign up for this tour. However, I was a bit anxious because it was going to be in English. I had seen a Japanese DVD explaining the underwater scooter, and one of the staff members was a fourth-generation Japanese woman, so I felt reassured as I could have normal conversations in Japanese and enjoyed myself.
You can breathe normally while using the underwater scooter, making it easy to enjoy the underwater world. A support diver is nearby to guide you towards the fish and sea turtles, and seeing a sea turtle swimming so close is truly an unknown world!
This experience will change your perspective on the world!

水中スクーターは普通に呼吸ができるので、手軽に海中の世界を楽しめます。サポートのダイバーが側にいて、魚や海亀のいる方向をガイドしてくれ、手の届く近さで海亀が泳いでいるのは正に未知の世界です!

Stand-up paddleboarding was more difficult than I expected due to the strong winds. There were three groups with two participants each, but we only had two paddleboards for six people, so I think it would have been better to have one more board.
The underwater scooter was easy to use, and I enjoyed the sea enough. I was very satisfied to see a turtle swimming nearby, hold a starfish, and have many fish come close to me.
When we got back on the boat, many people were exhausted from the cold and seasickness, and although I wanted to go snorkeling, I gave up. If there had been less wind, I think we could have enjoyed it more, but the weather is beyond our control.
I was anxious because I don't understand English, but Judy, who was a fourth-generation guide, was very friendly and kindly explained everything, so there were no issues at all.
スタンドアップパドルは、風が強すぎて、乗るのが思っていたより、難しかったです。2人参加で3組だったのですが、6人に2台のパドルだったので、もう一台あると良いと思いました。
水中スクーターは、耳抜きもすぐに出来て
十分海の中を楽しめました。カメが近くに泳いでいたり、ヒトデを持たせてくれたり、目の前にたくさんの魚が近寄って来てくれて、とても満足です。
船に上がると、皆んな寒さと船酔いで、ぐったりしている人が多く、シュノーケルもしたかったのですが、諦めました。
風が少なければ、もっと楽しめたのでしょうが、天候は仕方ないですね。
英語が分からないので不安でしたが、4世のジュディ?さんがとてもフレンドリーで親切に説明してくれたので、何の不都合もありませんでした。

I participated with my wife and middle school children. First of all, I was impressed by how clear the water was. From the boat heading to the snorkeling point, I could see the colors of the tropical fish close to the surface. Upon arriving at the point, we first experienced the underwater scooter. A little diving required pinching my nose to equalize, but after that, it was just a matter of turning the throttle on and off. The divers adjusted the direction and distance from the surface as needed, making it easy to operate. Being close to the surface and having the divers nearby made it reassuring to enjoy the underwater experience. We had a net with pieces of bread attached to the front of the scooter, which attracted the fish. I had done experience diving and snorkeling before, but this was the first time I was surrounded by fish so closely that my view was almost blocked. The diver signaled for us to look down, and when I did, I saw a large sea turtle leisurely resting on the seabed. After finishing with the scooter, we soon boarded a rubber boat and moved to a shallow point closer to the open sea. I thought it was better described as shallow rather than a sandbar. When I asked the guide, they said it was around the time between high and low tide, so the water was about knee-deep. The sand was beautiful, and the water above it sparkled, making just walking around enjoyable. It was my first time trying stand-up paddleboarding, and it was more challenging to balance while standing than I had expected. The two hours flew by. The pleasant breeze, clear water, many beautiful fish, and the sparkling sand in the shallow area created an extraordinary experience that still comes to mind when I close my eyes.
妻と中学生の子供たちと参加しました。まず、水がとても澄んでいて感動。スノーケルポイントに向かうボートから、水面に近づく熱帯魚たちの色がよく見えました。ポイントに着くと、最初に水中スクーターを体験。少し潜ったところで鼻をつまんでの耳抜きが必要でしたが、あとはアクセルのオンオフだけで、ダイバーの方々が進む方向や水面からの距離も都度調整してくれ簡単に操作できました。水面から近く、ダイバーの方が側にいてくれるので安心して水中を楽しめました。パンの切れ端の入ったネットをスクーターの前につけていて、魚達がそこを目指して集まってきます。体験ダイビングやスノーケルをやったことはありましたが、これほど、至近距離で、視界がふさがるくらい魚たちに囲まれたのは初めてでした。ダイバーの方が下を見てと合図してくれ、下を見ると大きなウミガメが海底にのんびり沈んでいました。スクーターを終え、しばらくすると、ボートからゴムボートに乗り込み、沖に近い遠浅のポイントに移動。サンドバーというより遠浅といったほうがいいかと思いました。ガイドさんに聞くと満潮と干潮の間くらいとのことで、水は膝くらいありました。砂がきれいで、その上の水がきらきらしていて歩いているだけで楽しかったです。スタンドアップパドルは初めてで、思っていた以上に立ってバランスをとるのが難しかったです。あっという間の2時間でした。心地いい風、透き通った水、たくさんのきれいな魚達、遠浅で見たきらきら輝く砂。目をつぶると今でも浮かぶ非日常体験でした。
