This was a fantastic way to spend a couple hours. Snorkeling with turtles that were pretty fearless. A leisurely sail off of Waikiki. Great crew and the cutest dog ever. You may even get a chance to get up close and personal with an octopus. Highly recommended.

Enjoyed the turtle snorkel very much. We saw a couple of turtles. I would have rather continued snorkeling than having to stop so we could go sailing. But a great time in general! I would recommend this activity.

ウミガメシュノーケリング　ホロカイ・カタマラン号　高確率でウミガメに会えるタートルキャニオンへ！ソフトドリンク&スナック付き＜3時間／英語／ワイキキホテル発＞

I had the best experience! 最高の経験をさせていただきました！

Reviewed by: SUNAPLE

First of all, no one in our family speaks English. I can only convey about 20% of what I want to say (laughs).

Even with an English guide, we were particularly fine. As long as we didn't engage in any reckless behavior, there was no danger aside from natural disasters.

When we arrived at the snorkeling spot, a sea turtle appeared right away. Just being able to see it from the boat made me 80% satisfied, but I was also able to see it up close underwater.

The moment it came up for air was just a brief instant, so even if I spotted it from a distance, I wouldn't have made it in time. But it happened to come up nearby, and I hurried over. It was an emotional moment.

We foolishly brought our 2-year-old, 4-year-old, and 6-year-old with us, but the guides were always there to lend a hand when the kids came up, helping them back onto the boat and checking if they were okay.

The kids quickly got back on the boat, leaving dad as the babysitter.

I wanted to see the turtle one more time, but as everyone started to get out, it felt like it was coming to an end, so I decided to get back on the boat. I happened to tell the guide who was in the water, in broken English, "I wanted to swim with the turtle..." and he said, "Come on!" He was inviting me to come over to see it.

In that moment, I decided to forget about dad and the kids on the boat and hurried to follow him. He was clearly experienced and found a turtle on the ocean floor. But when I looked, it looked more like a rock than a turtle. Then he offered to lend me his camera. When I handed it over, he took pictures of the turtle on the ocean floor. (When I saw them later, they were really great photos!!)

Just as we were about to head back to the boat, another turtle appeared right in front of us! I had heard that touching them would incur a fine, but due to the waves, I almost touched it. To be able to see it at such a close distance was amazing! I was so thrilled.

Thanks to the guide's actions, we had the best experience. I am truly grateful.

For tips, there was a huge transparent bottle on the boat where we were supposed to put them, but I wanted to give him a personal tip. However, since there was a container for tips, even if I just handed him cash, I would still have to put some in the bottle, so I hesitated about giving him a partial amount... (this is where I felt like a typical unsure Japanese person...) In the end, I just put it in the bottle. I might have been better off giving him $10 or $20...

Thank you for a wonderful experience!!

最初に、我が家は誰も英語が話せません。しいていえば私が言いたいことの２０％ぐらいを伝えられる、という程度（笑）

英語のガイドですが、そんな我が家でも特に大丈夫でした。自然災害以外は、逸脱した行為をしなければ危険もありませんので。

シュノーケリングポイントについたとき、すぐに海亀が現れました。船上から見ることができて、もうそれだけで８０％満足した私ですが、なんと水中から間近に見ることもできました。

息継ぎにあがってくるのはほんの一瞬なので、遠くに発見しても泳いでも間に合いません。でもたまたま近くに上がってきて、急いで近寄りました。感動でした。

我が家は無謀にも２歳、４歳、６歳を連れての参加だったのですが、どの子があがるときにもガイドさんたちが手を差し伸べてくれて船に上げてくれたり、大丈夫か声をかけてくれたり。

子どもたちはすぐにあがってしまい、子守役にパパが船上に。

私はもう一度ぐらい亀に会いたいなぁと思いましたが、だんだんみんなが上がってしまって、もう終わりという雰囲気になったので、船上に上がろうとしました。たまたま海中にいたガイドさんに「亀と泳ぎたかったぁ・・・」と片言の英語で言ったら「カモーン！」と。見せてあげるからおいで、というのです。

もうその瞬間に船上にいるパパと子どもたちは忘れることにして、慌ててついていきました。さすがに慣れていて、海底にいる海亀を発見するのです。でも私が見ても亀というより岩。するとカメラを貸してごらんと。それで渡したら海底にいる亀を撮影してきてくれました。（あとで見たらすごく良い写真でした！！）

さて船に戻りましょう、というとき、たまたま目の前にまた亀が！！
触ったら罰金だと聞いていましたが、波のせいで触れてしまいそうでした。そんな距離で会えるなんて！！大感激しました。

ガイドさんの行為のおかげで、最高の体験ができました。本当に感謝です。

チップは船上にある透明の巨大なペットボトルみたいなものに入れるのですが、なんとなく彼には個人的にチップをはずませて差し上げたくて、でもチップの入れ物はあるし、彼にだけ渡してしまうにしても、そっちの容器にも入れるから全額渡すわけにもいかないし、でも中途半端な金額渡すのって変だし・・・と悩んでしまい（このへんが慣れない日本人ぽい・・・）結局ボトルに入れるだけにしてしまいました。彼に１０ドルでも２０ドルでも渡せば良かったかも・・・。

素晴らしい体験をありがとうございました！！

The snorkeling spot was perfect! We were able to swim inches from turtles, see all kinds of fish and the staff members brought an octopus and starfish to the surface for us to touch.
The sailing part afterwords was beautiful and the boat had a netted spot to sit in if you want to go on a Disneyland type splash ride.

Not as advertised

Reviewed by: allenk

I had to give this a 3 star rating to get it to post. My earlier one star rating wouldn't post and my comments were sent to the tour operator for comment. Each issue that I raised the company flat out lied about. As indicated in a prior review, it was disappointing that the scooters had to be moved around by the divers, they are not in working order to be moved under their own power. It looked like they were broken or missing engine parts. I loved the concept, the crew was fantastic and I would have said it was OK, but given that the event is not as advertised and that Bob's Underwater Scooter Adventure management flat out lied I would then question the safety of the event. False advertising. One star.

We were really excited to do this tour! When we got there the tour guides were very friendly and chill. When we got out to where we were snorkeling I had a bit of a freak out when I got into the water. I looked down and saw so many fish under my feet! The one tour guide came over and helped me overcome my fear. I got in and out of the boat many times. We also saw so many turtles! After snorkeling we went on a nice sail while enjoying some well deserved drinks. All in all this was a fabulous for the price point of the tour! I would totally do this again!

What a wonderful trip!

Reviewed by: Georgia Family

We actually are a family with kids in their 20s but no option for that. We had a wonderful time. the weather was perfect and the water conditions were pretty clear. The turtles were magnificent but there was other wildlife as well--Spinner dolphins, Flying fish, etc. The cruise after the snorkeling was equally as fun. Our captain also had a great choice of music playing. The time went so fast--took the morning cruise which still left us the rest of the day for the beach. Would recommend this to anyone. My only precaution--if you have a anyone in your party with issues of climbing or would not be comfortable walking or sitting on the net of the catamaran you may not enjoy this. We loved it!

First snorkeling experience. 初めてのシュノーケル

Reviewed by: 8an

Recently, my mother, younger brother, and I (in our 20s) participated in this activity.

It was great to see the views of Waikiki while sailing. However, when we arrived at the snorkeling spot, the water was quite deep, and my mother and I felt very scared as soon as we entered the water. We ended up getting back on the boat in less than a minute. My brother, who has diving experience, enjoyed it until the end.

I thought I was prepared based on the experiences I read about, but I was surprised that the snorkeling was in a very deep area rather than a shallow one, and I questioned whether it was appropriate to only have a floatation device at that depth. There was no practice with life jackets or snorkeling, so it might be difficult for those who are trying it for the first time and are not familiar with the sensation. As a snorkeling beginner, I regretted not choosing a safer tour since it was a special trip. I also regret that I caused my mother to feel fear.

If you want to participate but are not confident in your swimming skills, I think you should consider this carefully. The ocean was very beautiful, so it might be a good option for those who just want to enjoy sailing.

先日、母・弟・私（20代）の3人で参加しました。

セーリングでワイキキの景色を見れるのはとても良かったです。
ですが、シュノーケルの場所まで到着した際はかなり水深があり　母と私は海に入った瞬間とても怖くなりました。。（1分も経たずに船へ上がってしまいました＞＜）弟はダイビング経験がある為　最後まで楽しんでいましたが。

体験談を参考に参加したつもりでしたが、浅瀬の方ではなくかなり深い場所でのシュノーケルだったことやあの深さで浮き棒しかないのはどうかと思いました。。ライフジャケット、シュノーケルの練習等は無しでいきなり始まりますので　初めてで感覚が掴めない方には難しいかもしれません。シュノーケル初心者だからこそ、せっかくの旅行ですので、安全なツアーに参加すればよかったと思いました。母にも恐怖心を与えてしまったのも後悔です。。

もし泳ぎに自信がないけど参加したい、という方は考慮したほうが良いと思います。海はとってもきれいだったので、セーリングだけたのしみたい方にはいいかもしれません。

It was a beautiful sea. きれいな海でした

Reviewed by: shio

The day I participated was cloudy, with occasional rain, making it a bit chilly to enter the sea. I went to the meeting place, but there were no signs and no one who looked like they were part of the group... I felt anxious. Eventually, some people who seemed to be participants began to gather, and after some time, a person holding a sign arrived. I felt relieved... The guide spoke in English, so it might be difficult for those who are completely new to snorkeling. However, if you watch the movements of the people around you, you'll be fine. The sea turtles and fish were very beautiful! For those who are not good with the cold, it would be better on a hot day, but the wind from sailing after getting out of the sea can be chilly. I think it's a good idea to prepare long sleeves or a hoodie. If you are prone to seasickness or cannot swim, it might be better to avoid this activity.

参加した日は曇り空で、時々雨も降り、海に入るには少し肌寒い日でした。集合場所に行ったものの、看板もなく、それらしい人もいない…不安。そのうち参加者らしい人たちが集まり始め、その人たちと一緒にいると、時間を過ぎてから看板を持った人がやってきました。ホッとした…。ガイドは英語なので、シュノーケリングが全く初めての人には分かりにくいかも。でも周りの人たちの動きを見ていれば、大丈夫です。ウミガメ、魚たち、とてもきれいでした♪寒いのが苦手な方、暑い日なら良いのですが、海から上がった後のセーリングの風は体が冷えます。長袖やパーカーを用意しておくと良いと思います。船酔いしやすい方、泳げない方は避けたほうがいいかな。
