My family and I had a great time. We enjoyed the privacy and Chad and Kevin were great. It was a beautiful day. We explored, SUP, kayaked and floated. The only suggestion is that the details of where to meet need to be more explained.

We took the Lunch cruise from the Hilton Pier on Waikiki beach to see the sea turtles, it was a great time to go out onto the water. Nice short ride out to the turtle area. The crew was fantastic, very informative and friendly. Gave great instructions on how to see the turtles and one of the crew members was in the water for assistance and to answer questions. After viewing the turtles they put the sail up and we sailed a little further out to sea and that was fun and exciting. Very nice lunch buffet and a few Mai Tais also made it a great time. Clean boat, great crew, nice lunch and got to swim with the Turtles! Will definitely do this cruise again when back on Waikiki.

The weather was cloudy with some waves, and the visibility wasn't great, but thanks to Dan and Chieko's excellent guidance, we encountered a honu (sea turtle) twice. We also came across large schools of fish and saw many colorful and rare fish.
Since my older child is 12 and my younger one is 6, they took breaks along the way. When my younger child's glasses slipped and caused a panic, they quickly helped out. My wife, who can't swim because she's afraid of water, was kindly taught how to manage. We encountered the honu again.
We ended up retiring partway through because my younger child got tired, but he seemed satisfied. I would love to do this again if the opportunity arises.
For those considering snorkeling, I highly recommend it. However, it seems there are days when the weather and waves can be challenging, so users need to understand that aspect.
天気は曇りで波も少しあり、透明度は良くなかったけどダンさんとチエコさんの抜群の案内でホヌに2回も遭遇しました°ʚ(*´꒳`*)ɞ°.
魚の大群にも遭遇したり、カラフルな魚や珍しい魚をいっぱい見ましたꉂꉂ(ᵔᗜᵔ*)笑
上の子12歳、下の子が6歳だったので途中で休憩しながら進んでくれました。途中下の子のメガネがズレてパニックになってる時もすぐに対応してくれ、しかもウチの嫁さんはカナヅチで泳げないのに優しく教えていただき。ホヌにも遭遇しました|•'-'•)و✧ 途中でしんどくなり、下の子とリタイヤしましたが本人は満足そうですꉂꉂ(ᵔᗜᵔ*)笑
また機会があればお願いしたいです。
これから、シュノーケルを考えてる方がいるなら、オススメします|•'-'•)و✧
ただし天気や波でどうにもならない日もあるみたいなので、そこだけ利用者も理解は必要です。
Thank you for participating with your family of four. Even in March, the water temperature was still quite cold, and there were some waves, but everyone did their best. It was great that the 6-year-old and your wife were able to see a turtle at the beginning of the tour! We were able to meet a second turtle at Sandman's Patch, so it was worth the effort despite the cold. We look forward to welcoming you all back again. The envelope for the wetsuit fee has also arrived safely.
Thank you very much. Mahalo!!

It was a medium-sized boat, so we experienced a bit of swaying (maybe a little more than expected), but it was my first time experiencing this. Since there was a bait bag attached, I gradually released some, and tropical fish about 20 centimeters long quickly gathered around, which was adorable. We had plenty of time for diving, and the instructor, who also acted as the photographer, gestured underwater so we could understand well, making it enjoyable without any stress. My wife seemed to have a bit of difficulty with the oxygen tank, but there were no emergencies, and we were able to have fun. The only downside was that even though we had an early morning gathering, I ate a muffin and coffee, which made me feel sick due to the swaying. About half of the other ten people seemed to experience seasickness as well. I think taking motion sickness medication before leaving the hotel would be necessary.
中型ボートでしたので若干のうねり(少し大きいかな?)を受けましたが一番はじめに体験しました。えさ袋が付いていたので少しずつ出すと20センチ位の熱帯魚がどんどんよった来て可愛かったです。潜水している時間も十分あり、インストラクター兼カメラの方も水中で良く分かるように手招きしてくれてストレス無く楽しかったです。家内が酸素ボンベの酸素が合わなくて若干苦しかったようですが、緊急浮上などは無く楽しめました。唯一、朝早い集合なのにマフィンとコーヒーを食べていったので、うねりで全部リ○ースして苦しみました。他の10人ほどの半分は同じく船酔いしたようです。たぶんホテル出発前に酔い止めが必要だと思います。

The boat crew and divers were friendly, patient, and knowledgeable. We definitely want to do again and bring our whole family. Experiencing close encounters with sea turtles, sea stars, and numerous species of fish was thrilling. The crew has 7 scuba scooters with a diver to assist each scooter. The divers make sure each participant is safe, feels comfortable, and points out the aquatic life while also allowing independent discovery. While waiting your turn to scooter, we had a wonderful time snorkeling on our own. The waters are clear and beautiful and allow perfect visibility. For an extra fee you can get pictures and a video of your adventure. The diver captured some of my favorite vacation pictures!

I was able to snorkel without any anxiety because they explained the methods and sea conditions in detail in Japanese. I hadn't reserved a diving suit in advance, but they suggested that it could help prevent cold and injuries, so I borrowed one on the day. Even with the suit on, I got quite cold after about an hour of swimming, so I was really glad I could borrow it. I was moved to see not only a variety of fish but also a sea turtle up close. They picked me up from the hotel and dropped me back off, which made for a comfortable experience. They also shared various information about Hawaii during the car ride, which was helpful. Thank you for the valuable experience!
シュノーケリングの方法や海の状態を日本語でひとつひとつ丁寧に説明してもらえたので、不安なく行うことができました。ダイビングスーツを事前に申込んでいませんでしたが、寒さや怪我を防ぐことができると提案していただき、当日急遽お借りしました。スーツを着ても一時間ほど泳ぐとかなり寒くなったので、借りることができて本当によかったと思いました。たくさんの種類の魚だけでなく、ウミガメを間近で見ることができ、感動しました。ホテルでピックアップしてもらい、帰りもホテルまで送っていただけるので、快適でした。車中でもハワイのことを色々と教えてもらい、参考になりました。貴重な体験をありがとうございました!
Thank you for joining the tour with two women. I am very happy to hear that you were able to enjoy snorkeling without any worries.

Ideal alternative way to get under the water if you are incapable of scuba diving. Would definitely do it again The music on the boat was from the 70's and 80's which made the trip even more enjoyable as it was what I grew up listening too

The weather wasn't very good on the day we experienced it, and the water temperature was low. We hadn't applied for a wetsuit in advance, but the guide recommended that we rent one on the spot for an additional $10. I'm really glad we borrowed the wetsuits! It was cold, and since we swam in shallow water, if we hadn't had them, I think I would have been shivering from the cold and scraping my knees.
Although the weather was bad and the water clarity was low, we were lucky enough to encounter turtles twice.
The guide spoke fluent Japanese, and I was able to casually ask various questions.
It was a very good experience!

I hadn't been in the ocean since I was a child, so I was quite nervous, but it was so much fun! During the initial briefing at the office, they provided explanations in English followed by Japanese, but the Japanese was quite fast, so there were some details I didn't catch. I thought it would have been great for beginners like me to have a video explanation as well. (In reality, the staff accompanied us the whole time and guided us step by step, so it worked out fine.)
Our boat had about 15 people in 6 groups, and they took photos of us diving in pairs. Since most of the participants were Japanese, I asked those who dove before me for tips. The underwater scenery was beautiful, and the fish that came to the bait in my hands were incredibly cute!
For those with long hair, if you tie it back high, your face will end up closer to the front of the helmet, which can feel cramped due to the limited space in front of you. I think it's better to tie it at the neck level.
We swayed gently for just over an hour as we headed out. It felt like seasickness was a given, and there was a prior explanation about "if you feel sick, go to the back of the boat." My husband, who is a sea man, said that "people who get overly excited or nervous at first tend to get seasick," so it might be better not to get too hyped up.
At the end, they mentioned there wouldn't be a place to change, but when we returned to the office, there was about a 20-minute break that felt like a restroom stop. So, if someone really needs to, they might be able to change quickly in the restroom. (However, since there are few restrooms, I wouldn't recommend it.) We just put on our hoodies and let ourselves dry naturally on the way back.
The photos were bundled with a video for $47. Payment was made on the spot (it was card-friendly when I went), and I wrote down my email address to receive them later. It was smooth, with a request to download them within two weeks.
子供の頃以来海に入っておらず結構ドキドキだったのですがすごーく楽しかったです。
最初に事務所でレクチャー受ける際、英語説明の後日本語でもしてくれましたが結構早口なので詳細分からないところもあり、私のような初心者にとってはビデオ説明もあったら尚よかったなぁ〜なんて思いました。(実際はスタッフがずっと帯同し、手取り足取りやってくれるのでなんとかなりますが)
私達のボートは6組15名程度、順次潜りペアの写真も撮ってくれます。日本人の方がほとんどだったので前に潜った人に要領を聞いたりしました。海中は綺麗で手元の餌に寄ってくるお魚さんがメチャメチャ可愛かったです!
髪が長い方、後ろで結ぶ際に高い位置で結ぶとその分ヘルメットの前の方に顔が来てしまうので(目の前の空間が少なく圧迫感!)首の位置で結んだ方がいいと思います。
沖に出て1時間ちょっとユラユラ揺られます。船酔いはお約束といった感じで、予め「吐く時は船の後ろで」などの説明もありました。海男の夫が言うには「最初にはしゃいだりドキドキしすぎる人が酔いやすい」ということなのでテンションも上げ過ぎない方がいいかもしれません。
最後は着替える所がないとのことでしたが、事務所に戻るとトイレ休憩な感じで20分程空白の時間があったので、どうしてもという方はトイレで急いで着替えたりできるかも。(トイレの数が少ないので推奨はしませんが^^;)。私達はパーカー羽織って自然乾燥しながら帰りました。
写真は動画とセット47ドルでした。その場で支払い(私の時はカード可)、メールアドレス書いて後でメールで受け取り。2週間以内にダウンロードして下さいという形でスムーズでした〜。

There were some people who got seasick, but the hamburgers they made on the boat were simple yet delicious! I felt like I wanted to swim more in the ocean, but it was a lot of fun.

In late February, the weather was mostly cloudy, and the waves were strong, which might not have been the best season. However, when the sun occasionally peeked out, the color of the sea transformed into a vibrant blue. While others were riding underwater scooters, I often saw sea turtles swimming near the surface, occasionally popping up to look at us. I felt like the encounter rate was similar to seeing pigeons in Tokyo. When I rode the underwater scooter, there were plenty of fish, and I spotted several sea turtles swimming along the seabed.
Among the crowd, which included families, couples, and groups of girls, I participated in a company trip with only women. I was the only man, but thanks to a friendly staff member who was a fourth-generation Japanese American, I felt less out of place as he occasionally struck up conversations with me.
Those who are prone to seasickness should be cautious. While the boat is moving, the swaying from the waves isn't too bad, but waiting on a stationary boat can make you feel queasy. You might also feel nauseous while riding the underwater scooter. Additionally, while the scooter is fine in shallow waters, just diving a little deeper can cause severe ear pain from the water pressure, which can worsen your seasickness. I experienced mild seasickness without showing it, but I saw some people who were completely out of it, clinging to the back of the boat and making multiple trips back and forth.
Overall, the courses "Hawaii Underwater Scooter BOB - Seabob Seafloor Walk & Snorkel Cruise" (the cheaper option) and "Underwater Scooter & Hawaii Kai Sandbar Half-Day Tour with Shuttle - Enjoy Snorkeling & Stand-Up Paddleboarding!" (the more expensive option) share the same departure and return points for the scooters. Participants in the more expensive option finish their scooter ride first and switch to a high-speed boat to go to another location for stand-up paddleboarding. Meanwhile, those on the cheaper option take turns finishing their scooter rides, but the waiting time can lead to seasickness. Even after everyone on the cheaper option has finished, they have to wait until the participants from the more expensive option return, which must have felt like hell for those who got seasick.
Participants in the more expensive option, who seemed a bit queasy at first, returned to the boat looking fine. I think they recovered while playing on the high-speed boat and stand-up paddleboard. Therefore, I recommend that anyone who might feel even slightly nauseous choose the more expensive option that includes stand-up paddleboarding at the sandbar. I opted for the cheaper option because I had another activity in the afternoon and wanted to return as soon as possible, but I ended up returning to the port at the same time as those on the more expensive option.
You can rent a short-sleeved wetsuit. It's fine if you don't wear one, and you can also bring your own. Even though it was the last part of winter in February, the water only felt cold for a moment when I first entered.
Photos and videos are available for purchase: individual photos are $20 each, videos are $20, and a set is $30. I received 13 photos of myself and two additional photos of sea turtles that were likely taken separately.
2月後半で曇りがち、波も強くて時期的にはあまり良い季節ではなかった
のかもしれませんが、時折太陽が顔を出すと海の色が鮮やかなブルーに変りました。
他の人が水中スクーターに乗ってる間も、船上では水面を泳ぐウミガメが横切り、船の近くで時折顔を出してはこちらを見ているのを何度も見ることが出来ました。
東京で鳩見かけるぐらいの遭遇率ではないかと思って見ていました。
また水中スクーターで潜ると、魚はたくさんいますし、海底をウミガメが数匹泳いでいました。
家族連れ、夫婦、カップル、女の子同士のグループみたいな人ばかなりの中、女性ばかりとの社員旅行で現地自由行動、これには男1人での参加だったですが、日系4世のスタッフの気さくなおじさんが時折話しかけてくれたお陰で浮いてる感が紛れました。
酔う人は注意が必要です。
船が走っている間は、波で大きく揺れてもあまり酔いません。
停まった船で待ってる間が酔います。
水中スクーターに乗ってる時も酔うかもしれません。
さらにスクーターは浅いところを潜っているうちは大丈夫ですが、
ほんの少しさらに深く潜っただけで水圧で耳に激痛がきます。
これがまた酔いの体調を悪くします。
私も表に出さないでいられる程度では軽く船酔いしていましたが、
リバースはここで言われる船尾に張り付いたり、何度も往復して完全に死んでる人達もいました。
全体の流れとして、本コース「ハワイ 水中スクーターBOB - シーボブで海底散歩&シュノーケルクルーズ」(値段安い方)と「水中スクーター&ハワイカイサンドバー 半日送迎付きツアー シュノーケリング&スタンドアップパドルボートも楽しめる!」(値段高い方)は、スクーターに乗る場所までと帰港は一緒になります。
値段高い方の参加者が先にスクーターを終え、高速ボートに乗り換えて別な場所にスタンドアップボードなどをしに行きます。
安い方の人はその間、順番にスクーターを終えていくのですが、その待ち時間が酔います。
さらに安い方の人が全員スクーターを終えても、高い値段の方の人が戻って来るまでそのまま待たされます。
船酔いした人には地獄の時間だったと思います。
値段高い方の人は最初に少し酔ってた風な人も、ケロッとして船に戻ってきました。
高速ボートや立ちボートで遊んでいる間に回復したんだと思います。
ですので、少しでも酔うかもしれない不安のある人は、サンドバーでの
スタンドアップボートなどがセットになった値段の高い方を選択した方が良いと思います。
午後から別なアクティビティがあったので、少しでも早く帰れる方をと安い方を選択したのですが、高速ボートから船に戻ってきた高い値段の方の人と一緒に帰港しますので最終的にかかる時間は同じです。
ウレタンの半袖スウェットスーツが借りられます。
着ないでもOKです。自前でもOKです。
2月の冬最終期ですが水が冷たく感じたのは入った瞬間だけです。
撮ってくれる写真や動画はバラだと写真20ドル、動画20ドル、

I've done snorkeling a few times domestically, but Hawaii is on a whole different scale (laughs). The fish are larger, and I even got to meet a sea turtle! It was truly moving!! It's definitely better to have a wetsuit! The rocks and coral can hit your feet. The snorkel was also the type that doesn't let water in, so I didn't end up drinking seawater even after swimming for a long time♪ The guide was very kind, and I definitely want to go again.

I was finally able to meet a sea turtle! The instructions were very thorough, and the explanations were plentiful, making it easy to understand and feel comfortable participating. Thank you for a truly enjoyable and wonderful time!
念願のウミガメに会うことができました♪丁寧に教えて頂き、説明もたくさんして頂いたので分かりやすく安心して参加できました。本当に楽しい素敵な時間をありがとうございました!
Dear Icchan, thank you for joining the Blue Hawaii Divers tour. I'm very happy to hear that you enjoyed it. On that day, we swam from the left end to the right end inside, and then went out to search for turtles. It was great that you were able to encounter a turtle while swimming in the ocean. Both of you did very well. I hope you will consider repeating the experience with either a diving or snorkeling tour when you come back to Hawaii. We are always here waiting for you.
Thank you very much. Mahalo!!
いっちゃん様、この度はブルーハワイダイバースのツアーにお越し頂き、ありがとうございます。楽しんでいただけたようでとても嬉しく思います。この日は左端から右端までインサイドを泳ぎ、その後、アウトに出てカメを探した日でしたね。沖で泳いでいるカメさんと遭遇できて良かったですね。お二人ともとてもお上手でした。是非またハワイにお越しの時には体験ダイビングでもシュノーケリングツアーでもリピートしていただけたらと思っています。いつでもお待ちしております。
本当にありがとうございました。Mahalo!!

Guides were GREAT, we saw MULTIPLE turtles (one even swam right up by us) and we also saw dolphins. We got to do a little bit of sailing at the end while drying off, having a beverage and eating the provided snacks. It was exactly what we wanted to do and I loved that it did not take up the entire day so we still had plenty of time to get get lunch and spend the rest of the day on the beach :)

Well planned tour. Excellent and friendly guide. Best of all it rained and we pretty much got the bay to ourselves. Would definitely recommend it and do it again.
Hi Catherine, it was a fun day. Hope we see you again. Dan.

We had a wonderful time on the trip. The snorkel is the first part of the event. There were numerous fish and handful of large turtles. Then there is a brief sail around the area. On our sail we encountered humpback whales and a massive pod of dolphins.
I realize, to a degree the whole adventure is a crap shoot. Someone that encountered no turtles, whales, or dolphins might rate the trip less highly, but we felt this was well worth our time and highly recommend.

Great trip. Well organized, all the equipment provided. Guide knew exactly where to find some rare animals. Pickup was from a hotel a quarter mile from where we were staying in Honolulu. Try to go at high tide if possible.
Thanks guys, glad you enjoyed. Hope we see you again. Dan.

It was a little hard to get to (the hotels are so close together) so remember to get there early! We got there just in time. The boat is beautiful docked on the beach. The crew were so wonderful and friendly. We saw a bunch of turtles! It was amazing when they would surface for air RIGHT NEXT TO US! I wish the water was clearer, but it was still a great experience. Then we got to lounge in the boat and sail over off of Diamond Head. We saw spinner dolphins spinning out of the water. There were about 10 other people on the boat with us, but still cozy. They offer free snacks and you can purchase drinks (water, juice and alcohol) on the boat. We were back in time to join my family for lunch! perfect morning excursion at a great price!

The weather was great, and the sea was very beautiful! The tour guide was very kind, and even though I hadn't rented a wetsuit, they had it ready for me. I had left the money at the hotel, but it was fine to pay later! I'm really glad I rented it! I wasn't cold, and I enjoyed myself without drowning! I even saw three sea turtles! You absolutely have to go!
天気もよく海がとてもきれいでした!添乗員さんがとても親切で、ウエットスーツを借りていなかったのですが、準備してくださっており、お金もホテルにおいていましたが後払いで大丈夫でした!借りて本当に良かったです!寒くなく溺れず楽しめました!海亀も三匹みれました!絶対いくべきです!
Dear Tomorin,
Thank you for joining our tour with six people. The conditions on that day were perfect, with calm waves and great visibility, so we took you out to the open water. Right after we set out, we spotted a turtle. After returning your friend who wasn't feeling well back to the beach, we headed out again. We saw another turtle at Witch's, and before heading back inside, we encountered yet another turtle at Black Point. It was a truly lucky day to see turtles at every stop!
We hope to see you again on another tour when you visit Hawaii.
Thank you very much. Mahalo!!
ともりん様、この度は6名様でツアーにお越し頂き、ありがとうございます。この日は波もなく透明度もよく綺麗でしたので、直接沖の方にご案内致しました。沖に出てすぐにカメを1匹、その後具合の悪かったお友達の方をビーチに戻した後に再び沖へ。ウィッチーズでまたカメを1匹、そしてインサイドに戻る前にブラックポイントでまたまたカメを1匹と行く先々でカメに会えてとても幸運な日でした!!是非またハワイにお越しの際にはツアーでお目にかかれればと思います。
本当にありがとうございました。Mahalo!!

So much fun! We enjoyed every aspect of this. Our guides took time after snorkeling to show us whales and dolphins. It was great!
