BOB's Hawaii Underwater Scooter Adventure & Turtle Watching Tour

poorly organized program......wait too much time for 15 min riding

Reviewed by: Hugh

Even though I spent the whole morning for this activity, I just rode the underwater scooter for 15 min only. Furthermore, I couldn't even enjoy with my wife and son at the same time. So embarrassed and annoyed much. I admit the riding itself is exciting activity but their program was not that sophisticated. I was so much disappointed.

I got to see dolphins! ☆ イルカに逢えました☆

Reviewed by: joh

I was able to see dolphins from the boat multiple times, but it was difficult to see them swimming underwater. However, on my third try, I finally got to meet a dolphin I had been hoping to see. They swam beneath us and, although at a distance, they performed spinning jumps, and I even got to see a baby dolphin. It was amazing. I want to participate again.

船の上からイルカを何度も見ることはできていましたが、水中で泳いでいる姿を見ることはなかなかできませんでしたが、3回目のトライで念願のイルカに逢えました。
自分たちが泳いでいる下を通り過ぎたり、中距離でしたが、回転ジャンプしたり、赤ちゃんイルカに逢えました。
最高でした。また参加したいです。

Thanks to the thorough guidance, I was able to fully enjoy my first snorkeling experience. When I come to Hawaii again, I definitely want to snorkel at Hanauma Bay once more.

Hanauma Bay Snorkel Tour with Expert Guide & Waikiki Transportation

Great Beginner Snorkeling

Reviewed by: Rob

Excellent pair of guides with a small group of us to work with. I had never snorkeled before and had no trouble following the instructions. It didn't matter that I was not an experienced swimmer. Sure makes a difference getting past the lineup to get in because of being part of a group. I recommend aiming for low tide if you have a choice.

ハナウマ湾シュノーケリング ベテラン日本語ガイドがご案内する少人数制ツアー 貸切プランあり<半日>

The service was kind. 親切な対応でした

Reviewed by: さなさなぽぽん

I signed up for the early morning plan this time. The instructors were both Japanese and foreign, but they spoke Japanese fluently and had the hospitality typical of Japan, making the snorkeling experience very enjoyable.

They were also kind in guiding those who are not good at swimming.

Hanauma Bay can be accessed if you plan it yourself, but during busy times, joining a plan like this makes it relatively easier to enter, so I highly recommend it.

今回朝一のプランに申し込みました。
日本人の方と、外国の方が先生でしたが、日本語ぺらぺらでしたし、日本のホスピタリティも持ち合わせていらっしゃるのでとても楽しくシュノーケルが出来ました。

泳ぎが苦手な方にも親切に指導していらしてました。

ハナウマ湾は自身でも計画さえすれば入れるところですが、混む時期はこのようなプランに入れば比較的楽に入場できるので大変おすすめです。

Thank you for choosing our tour from among many options. Currently, summer vacation has started, and there are long lines every day to purchase entrance tickets at Hanauma Bay. However, as you mentioned, our tour customers do not need to wait in this line, allowing for smooth entry and a hassle-free experience.
We hope you will join our tour again when you visit Hawaii. We look forward to seeing you.
Thank you. Mahalo!!

この度は数あるツアーの中より私達のツアーをお選びいただき、ありがとうございます。今現在は夏休みに突入し、ハナウマ湾では入場チケット購入のために毎日長蛇の列が出来ています。ですが、さなさなぽぽんさんのおっしゃる通り、私達のツアーのお客様はこの列に並ぶ必要がありませんので、スムーズに入場できて楽チンなんです。
またハワイにお越しの際にはまた私達のツアーにご参加くださいね。お会いできるのを楽しみにしています。

Relaxing Sail

Was a really nice and relaxing sail. Everyone was really nice. Snorkelling gear and floatation vests were provided. Packet snacks like chips and candy were provided on board. You just have to pay for drinks (even bottled water). I would suggest bringing your own water.

I'm disappointed. がっかりです

Reviewed by: komari

I apologize for the long message.
I participated with my three children early in the morning on July 19, but unfortunately, we didn't get to see any dolphins. To make matters worse, it seemed that the day was affected by a typhoon, and the waves were quite rough, making for a really tough tour.
As the main event of our Hawaii trip, I wanted my sons, who love swimming, to swim with dolphins. After reading many reviews, I chose this tour, which allows participation from age two, and I was really looking forward to it. I woke up early and took all three kids with me. I wanted to create good memories, so I purchased a USB and an SD card in advance as recommended.
However, after boarding the boat and being tossed around in the rough waves for over an hour while searching for dolphins, even our family, who usually doesn't get seasick, started to feel unwell, along with other participants.
We changed our plans and started with free snorkeling time, but as soon as the boat finally stopped, the nausea peaked... Many people felt sick and were resting on the boat.
Even though we felt unwell, we decided to jump into the sea, but the wave conditions were quite severe, making it difficult even for adults to snorkel. It was a challenging task for my husband and me to care for our three children while swimming, and our four-year-old and two-year-old sons were crying. There were only a few crew members in the water to support us, and there were no floatation devices for the kids. Of course, it wasn't a situation where anyone could play on the trampoline or paddleboard; it seemed like no one was having fun. We returned to the boat early, but the seasickness didn't go away, and eventually, our second son got sick. The only one who enjoyed the slide was our eight-year-old son.
Despite purchasing the SD card and USB in advance, I didn't even realize that underwater photos were being taken, as we spent so little time in the water. I regret buying them since we didn't get to see any dolphins. (Moreover, for some reason, I can't open the photos on the USB after returning home.)
Even after returning to the boat, the seasickness lingered, and I felt unwell, not to mention we hardly saw any dolphins or turtles, so I didn't even feel like eating a cheeseburger. There were a few others who were also taking out food. On the way back, there was a hula dance performance, but the mood inside the boat had dropped significantly, and the crew's high spirits felt out of place.
I heard that other tour companies also didn't encounter any dolphins that day, and I understand that it's nature, so it's not 100% guaranteed. However, most of the time was spent traveling, and the sea conditions were terrible, leaving us with hardly any time in the water. Overall, I was left with dissatisfaction regarding the photos and videos. We received a voucher for half-price participation next time, but it's not easy for our family to come to Hawaii again, and I can't justify the cost of over 80,000 yen for that experience.
If participation is allowed from age two, I wish they would consider more accommodations for children. We have participated in various activities as a family before, but this was the most expensive tour with the lowest satisfaction. While our family trip to Hawaii was enjoyable, thinking back on this day makes me sad.

長文になります、すみません。
7/19早朝から子供3人を連れて参加しましたが、残念ながらイルカには会えませんでした。それどころか、その日は台風の影響らしく波がかなりうねっていて本当に辛いツアーになりました。
今回のハワイ旅行のメインとして、泳ぐのが大好きな息子達にイルカと一緒に泳がせてあげたいと思い、口コミもたくさん読んで2歳から参加できるこのツアーを選びものすごく楽しみに、がんばって早起きをして3人連れて行きました。いい思い出を残したいと思い、USBもSDカードもすすめられるがまま事前に購入しました。
しかし、船に乗って荒々しい波に延々一時間以上?揺られながらイルカを探しまわるが現れず、その時点で船酔いしない我が家も、他の参加者も具合が悪そうに…⤵
予定を変更して、先にフリーシュノーケルタイムと、やっと停舶したと同時に気持ち悪さがピークに。。。何人もの方が気持ちが悪くなって船で休んでいました。
我が家も気持ち悪いながらも
せっかくだからと思いきって海に飛び込みましたが、波のうねりがかなりひどく、大人でもシュノーケルが難しい状況なうえに、夫婦で3人の子供達をケアしながら泳ぐのは至 難の技で、4歳と2歳の息子は号泣。それでも海に入ってるクルーはわずかだし、子供へのサポートや浮き具なども特になし。もちろんトランポリンやパドルボートなどで遊べるような状況ではなく、誰も遊んでいなかったようです。早々に船に戻るも船酔いが治らず、とうとう次男は戻してしまいました。唯一8才の息子は滑り台は楽しんでいましたが。
事前にSDカード&USBを購入したのにも関わらず、肝心な水中での写真なんて撮られている自覚もありません、そもそも海に入ってる時間がわずかだったので。イルカに会えないなら買わなければ良かったと思っています。(しかも、帰国してからなぜかUSBの写真が開けない)
船に戻っても船酔いが治らず、気持ちは悪いわイルカにも亀にもろくに会えないわで、チーズバーガーなんてましてや食べる気になりませんでした。同じようにテイクアウトしてる人も、何人かいました。帰りもフラダンスの披露などありましたが、もう船内のテンションは落ちまくり、クルー達の高いテンションは空回り、といった感じでした。
その日は他のツアー会社もどこもイルカに遭遇できなかったとのことで、自然のものなので、100%ではないのは承知済みですが、ほとんどが移動で終わり、さらに海のコンディションは最悪で水中にはほとんど入れず、写真や動画撮影に対しても、全てにおいて不満だけが残りました。次回半額で参加できるバウチャーを、いただきましまが、我が家にとってそんなに簡単にハワイに来られる訳でもありませんし、そもそもあの内容に対しての5人で80000円以上の負担は納得がいきません。
2歳から参加OKとしているなら、もっと子供への配慮を考えてほしいものです。今まで様々なアクティビティに、家族で参加してきましたが、今までで一番高額で 満足度は一番低いツアーでした。今回の家族でのハワイ旅行は楽しかったですが、この日のことを思い出すと悲しくなります。

I'm glad I participated in Dolphin & You. ドルフィン&ユーさんに参加して良かったです

Reviewed by: Kaoru & Nobu

I participated with my elderly husband's parents. My mother is a good swimmer, but she was worried because of her mobility issues. However, with the support of our guide, Saki, she was able to enjoy the tour until the end.

We were very lucky to encounter dolphins right after we set sail. However, I was surprised that we had to dive from the boat to swim with the dolphins. Because of this, my mother was too scared to enter the water, but we were still able to see the dolphins from the boat. They were very cute, jumping and spinning around. When my husband and I jumped in at Saki's signal, we were able to see a large group of ten dolphins right below us. We were very excited to see the dolphins up close.

I have participated in various dolphin tours overseas, but this was the first time I saw wild dolphins swimming in the ocean, so it was a great experience. We also got to see many turtles.

With Saki's help, my parents were able to get close to see the turtles as well.

I am truly grateful to Saki and all the staff at Dolphin & You for their kindness. It really became a wonderful memory. Thank you very much. Next time, I would like to participate with my husband.

I believe the photo we took at the end of the tour, where everyone is smiling, shows how enjoyable this tour was. I hope this happiness comes across in the photo I’m posting.

Dolphin & You is the best!

高齢の主人の両親と参加しました。
母は泳ぎが得意ですが足が不自由ということで心配していましたがガイドのサキさんのサポートもあり最後までツアーを楽しむことが出来ました。

お目当てのイルカさんには出港後すぐに遭遇出来非常にラッキーでした。
しかしイルカと泳ぐのに船からダイブということには私も驚きました。
その為、母は怖がってしまい海に入ることは出来ませんでしたが、
船上からもイルカが確認出来ました。ジャンプしたり回転したりとても可愛いかったです。
私達夫婦はサキさんの合図で飛び込んだ所、真下で10匹の大軍を見ることが出来ました。
間近でみるイルカにはとても興奮しました、

今まで海外でイルカに関する色々なツアーに参加しましたが
野生のイルカが海の中で泳ぐ姿をみたのは初めてでしたので、良い経験が出来ました。
またたくさんの亀も見ることが出来ました。

亀は両親もサキさんの助けを借りて近くまで見に行くことが出来ました。

サキさんはじめドルフィン&ユーのスタッフ皆さんにはとてもよくしていただき本当に感謝です。本当にとてもいい思い出になりました。ありがとうございました。
次回は夫婦で参加したいと思います。

ツアーの最後で撮った写真が皆笑顔でこのツアーの楽しさがわかると思います。
このハッピーさが伝わるといいなと思い写真投稿します。

ドルフィン&ユー 最高です

I went to Hawaii for my sister's wedding, and since my parents are at an age where snorkeling is tough for them, I participated alone. However, since the instructor was always with the participants, I had a very fulfilling experience even by myself! There were also families with small children, so I think even little ones can have a lot of fun!

今回姉の結婚式でハワイに行き、両親は年齢的にもシュノーケリングは厳しいということで、1人で参加したのですが、常にインストラクターの方と参加者で回っているので、1人でもとても充実した体験ができました!家族連れの方もいたので、小さいお子さんでもとても楽しめると思います!!

I love Hawaii. HAWAII 大好き

Reviewed by: HAWAII 大好き

I was really looking forward to swimming with dolphins this time. I woke up at 5 AM, rubbing my sleepy eyes, and had breakfast before heading out for this tour.

Even for someone with diving experience like me, encountering such a large group of dolphins was truly moving.

They were moving in a large group just below the surface. Just when you think they've gone, they come back again.

It was truly a generous experience.

It felt as if they were inviting us.

They showed no signs of fear towards us.

During the cruise, the cheerful staff kept the atmosphere lively with Hawaiian dances and conversations, making it absolutely the best experience.

今回は、イルカと一緒に泳ぐことができるということで、

楽しみにしていました。朝5時に起き眠い目をこすりながら

ブレックファーストしこのツアーに臨みました。

ダイビングの経験がある私にとっても、これほどのイルカの大群に逢えるとは・・・・。

まさに感動ものでした。

水面、割と深くを大群で移動しているんですね。行ったかと思うとまた、戻ってくるんですね

まさに、大サービスです。

まるで、我々を誘っているかのように。

我々をを怖がる様子もなく。

クルーズ中は陽気なスタッフのハワイアンダンスとハワイアントークで盛り上がり

まさに最高でした。

My wife made it to the beach but ended up feeling unwell there and waited while lying down (ー ー;) She said it felt nice just to lie down on the beautiful beach. I apologize for the inconvenience.

I thoroughly enjoyed snorkeling for the first time in the beautiful sea! Thanks to the guidance from Chieko and Dan, I was able to enjoy myself safely out in the open water. Having professional guides really makes a difference in terms of peace of mind!

They also provided life jackets and took care of our valuables, allowing us to enjoy the sea without any worries. I’m really grateful for the photos taken while we were in the water. Next time, my wife will join me for a rematch. Of course, we would like to book this tour again (^ ^).

The content is average considering the high price. 価格が高い割に内容は普通

Reviewed by: ハワイ大好き

I have participated in other dolphin tours, but I felt that this tour was expensive and I should have chosen one of the more affordable options considering the content.

We bought a USB as a memento of our honeymoon, but there were really very few photos taken of us. The pictures taken from our seats on the boat mostly showed the boat's walls and the background scenery was lacking. Other groups had photos of themselves swimming in the ocean, but we didn't have any of those, which was really disappointing when we got back. Given that they said they wanted to take many photos of those who purchased the USB, I thought the number and quality of the photos were quite lacking. Moreover, the USB was expensive.

Even while swimming, we were told not to follow the cameraman, even though we were just swimming straight. It made me feel really uncomfortable, even though that wasn't our intention. When we were sitting on the edge of the boat, they were attentive to us, but they weren't paying attention to other groups of girls. They also guided us to indoor seats without mentioning that we could fit more people on the deck (those seats didn't allow us to see the surrounding scenery and were hot, making it hard to feel like we were on a cruise). I wish they had been a bit more considerate of everyone. Even though the Japanese guides might have been trying to be nice by saying things like "The sea is beautiful!" or "You seem a bit down," from our perspective, it felt a bit insensitive and lacking in consideration.

However, the crew that joined us locally was cheerful and considerate, which made it a lot of fun. The dolphins swam right next to us and below us, which was magical. We could hear their calls, and it was moving.

So, I think there are people who will enjoy this tour and those who won't. Especially since it was our honeymoon. We didn't have any photos underwater that we were looking forward to as mementos, nor any fun photos taken from the deck. Haha. I also felt that the guide's attitude was not very favorable, and while we did get to swim with the dolphins, I think I will use another tour next time.

他のイルカツアーに参加した事もありますが、このツアーは価格も高いし、内容も含めて他のもっと価格を抑えたツアーを選べばよかったと思いました。
新婚旅行の記念にusbを買ったけど、私たちを撮ってくれた写真は本当に少なく、船の座った席で撮った写真はバックの景色も船の壁ばかりで、他のグループは海で泳いでる写真もあったのに、私たちのものはなく帰ってきてみて、スゴくがっかりしました。
usb購入した人を多く撮りたいと言っていただけに、あまりにもな写真の数と内容だなと思いました。しかも、usb高い。
泳いでるときも、まっすぐ泳いでいただけなのにカメラマンの人についてこないでと言われて、そのつもりもないのにすごく気分が悪かった。
船の縁に座っていたときも私たちには注意していたのに、他の女の子のグループには注意していなかったり、もっとつめれば座れるデッキの席も何も言わず屋内の席に誘導したり(その席は周りの景色も見えないし暑く、クルーズしてる気分には到底なれない)、もう少し全員に配慮してくれればいいのになと思いました。また、屋内の席にいるのに海が綺麗だよーとか元気ないねーとか日本語ガイドさん達も気を利かせていっていたのかもしれないけど、
こっちの立場からすれば、ちょっと無神経で言葉にも配慮がないのかなと感じてしまいました。
しかし、現地合流のクルーは陽気で気を使ってくれたりと、とても楽しかったです。
イルカもすぐ横や下を泳いでいて幻想的。鳴き声も聞こえて感動しました。

なので、このツアーに合う人と合わない人がいると思います。
新婚旅行だったので尚更。記念に楽しみにしていた海の中での写真も無く、デッキから撮った楽しそうな写真もなく。笑
何となくガイドさんの態度も好感が持てず、イルカと泳げたからまあいっかというくらいで、
次回は他のツアーを利用すると思います。

BOB's Hawaii Underwater Scooter Adventure & Turtle Watching Tour

Decent experience

Reviewed by: Kevin M.

First of all crew was great! Our driver and diver Taylor went out of his way to be helpful .
The experience was average . Not much time on actual scooter. A lot of time sitting on boat then back at shop waiting to be driven back while the video and pictures we being pushed. Wouldn't do it again but not unhappy that I did it once.

sent 1 guest on this and he said the right package for someone who wanted to do a snorkel package and at a great location and with safety in a film and guides to assist the least experienced persons and You do not have to be a swimmer to do this and will see Great sights in water within your comfort zone of a few feet. Highly recommend.

野生のイルカウォッチング&ウミガメシュノーケリングクルーズ ジャンボスライダーやSUPも楽しめる!<ランチ付き/ワイキキ&コオリナ送迎/日本語または英語ガイド>

I was very impressed by the dolphins!! イルカに大感激しました!!

Reviewed by: KEIKO ISHIHARA

I had almost no experience with snorkeling, but I wanted to see dolphins up close, so I participated alone. Despite my age and the fact that I usually only do desk work, I was a bit worried about my physical fitness, but being optimistic by nature, I joined in on a whim, and it was really great. I felt so moved!! It became the best memory of my trip to Hawaii. I also think that being able to speak Japanese helped me participate with peace of mind. The burger I had on the boat was delicious, and I truly had a wonderful time.

シュノーケリングの経験もほとんど皆無だったけど、イルカを真近に見たくて一人で参加しました。高年齢もさることながら日頃デスクワークしかしていないので 体力的な心配もありましたが楽天的な性格なので、ノリで参加しましたが凄く良かったです。すごい感動を覚えました!!ハワイ旅行の中で一番の思い出になりました。日本語が話せた事も 安心して参加できた事だと
思いました。船上で食べたバーガーも美味しかった、本当に楽しいひと時を過ごせました。

I participated with ten colleagues. While I slightly regretted not choosing the ranch tour instead of the dolphin cruise, it turned out to be the right choice.

Waking up early was tough, but I took motion sickness medication and wore a seasickness wristband (which I bought on the bus for $20, thinking it would be worth it if I could use it multiple times), and I felt great. The weather was nice, and we encountered dolphins early on. Although they sometimes swim away, they came quite close, allowing us to see them well. After that, we were able to swim near a large turtle, which was an amazing experience.

Before swimming, we sang a song to pray for safety and threw flowers together. The crew's singing and Hawaiian dance were also great, and the hamburgers and chips we had on the boat were delicious. I found the chips at the airport on the way back and bought some as souvenirs.

On the last day, I arranged to meet with one of the crew members, Mai, to experience yoga in the park. I definitely want to go back to Hawaii to see the dolphins again. I highly recommend it!

 仕事仲間10人で参加しました。牧場ツアーとドルフィンクルーズのどちらかを選ぶ時に牧場にすれば良かったかなと少々、後悔しながらの参加でしたが、こちらにして正解でした。
 朝早いのは辛かったのですが、酔い止め薬も飲み、船酔いのリストバンド(20ドル、何回でも使えるなら良いかと思ってバスで購入)も良かったのか体調もばっちりで、お天気も良く、早い段階でイルカに遭遇でき、逃げてしまう事もあるそうですが、近寄ってくるぐらい近くまできて、しっかり見ることができました。その後、大きな亀さんとも蹴ってしまいそうなぐらい近くで泳ぐ事もでき、本当に良い体験ができました。
 泳ぐ前に無事を祈る歌を歌ってお花をみんなで投げたり、クルーの方の歌やハワイアンダンスも良かったし、船の上で食べたハンバーガーもチップスも美味しくて、チップスは帰りに空港で見つけて、お土産に買って帰りました。
 クルーの一人のmaiさんとは、最終日にヨガの待ち合わせをして、公園でヨガも体験する事ができました。
 また、ハワイに行ったら、イルカに会いに行きたいと思います。本当にお薦めです。

Reviewed by: lie

I was looking forward to it, but... I decided to go because I heard that the makeup wouldn't come off (considering taking photos), but due to a malfunction with the machine, I ended up soaking wet... This is unacceptable.

楽しみにしていたのですが…
メイクなど落ちないとのことで(写真撮ること考え)決めたのに
機械の不具合?でびしょ濡れ…
ありえません

Thank you very much for participating in the tour. However, we sincerely apologize for not being able to provide you with satisfactory service.

Upon confirming the details with the local operating company, we found that there were no mechanical issues on the day of the tour. However, due to the nature of the water activities, there is a possibility of getting wet when boarding and disembarking from the scooter. We are truly sorry for any inconvenience caused by misleading expressions in the tour page, especially since you were looking forward to the photo opportunities.

To prevent similar inconveniences in the future, we have made improvements to the content on the tour page.

Thank you very much for your valuable feedback despite your busy schedule.

ハナウマ湾シュノーケリング ベテラン日本語ガイドがご案内する少人数制ツアー 貸切プランあり<半日>

First snorkeling experience. 初めてのシュノーケリング

Reviewed by: takayuki

I experienced snorkeling for the first time at Hanauma Bay. While there are cheaper tours available, I was glad I opted for a guided tour. The ocean was beautiful, the weather was great, and I was taken out further, which made for a wonderful experience. It seemed to be a rare day, but I was able to encounter many turtles, making it a precious day.

I would love to participate again.

今回初めてのシュノーケリングをハナウマベイで体験しました。
安いツアーもありますが、ガイド付きツアーを申し込んで正解でした。
海も綺麗、天気も良く、沖の方まで連れて行ってもらい、良い体験ができました。
その日は珍しいみたいですが、多くの亀さんに遭遇することができ貴重な1日になりました。

また参加したいと思います。

Aloha! I'm really glad to hear that you enjoyed it. Also, I was very happy to receive your kind words saying, "It was the right choice to book the guided tour." Thank you! During our tour, when the sea conditions are good, we swim out further, which increases the chances of encountering turtles.

I'm glad you got to see many Honu! We will continue to work hard so that people keep saying that a guided tour with Hanauma is different from the rest.

Please come join our tour again when you visit Hawaii. We look forward to seeing you. Thank you! Mahalo!!

Aloha!楽しんでいただけたようで本当に良かったです。それと『ガイド付きツアーを申し込んで正解でした。』とのお褒めのお言葉をいただき、私もDanもとても嬉しかったです。ありがとうございます。私達のツアーでは海の状態が良い時には沖の方まで泳ぎに行きますので、亀との遭遇率もアップします。
多くのHonuに会えてよかったですね!
やっぱりハナウマ公認ガイド付きは他と違うね!と言われ続けられるように、これからも頑張ります。
是非またハワイにお越しの際には私達のツアーに来てくださいね。お待ちしています。ありがとうございました。Mahalo!!
