ハワイで釣り!オアフ南海岸沖 乗り合いフィッシングクルーズ 初心者でも快適に楽しめる!<午前>

イルカも見れた

Reviewed by: KAZZ, 2024/05/11

連日の強風と、前日の急な予約で心配しましたが無事に遂行
状況に合わせた浅場での釣りになりましたが、それなりに楽しく遊べました
移動中はイルカ群れのお迎えもありました
貸し出し道具はそこそこの手入れで、あたりはずれがありそう
キャプテンは多少日本語も話せるので問題無し
参加者の集合遅れなどがあり出航が遅くなったが、まぁHawaiiTimeなので、、、

Waikiki's Most Affordable Turtle Snorkel Boat Tour - Mana Kai Catamaran

If I could afford to come back to Hawai’i I would definitely rebook this experience ! 10/10

Reviewed by: Jaelyn B, 2024/05/11

Great experience! The crew were amazing and super helpful pointing out the spots were the turtles were. It is a smaller boat which creates a more personal atmosphere, but we still had a lot of room onboard plus we got to sit on the net. Again, big mahalo to the crew! We got to surf a few waves on the boat lol. 10/10 highly recommend.

ウミガメシュノーケリング 設備も充実のモアナ号でゆったり!グループに最適な貸切プランあり<英語スタッフ/ケワロ湾発>

書き込み通り

Reviewed by: Izu, 2024/05/08

他の方の書き込み通り、集合時間より10分以上遅れて船の方が出てきてチェックインの開始でした。
そして英語圏ではない人が居ても、ゆっくり話すなど気を使うこともなく、全て英語での説明でした。

海亀は会えましたが、その日はあまり居なかったのか海面に上がってくる子に2、3回会えた感じでした。

ハワイで釣り!オアフ南海岸沖 乗り合いフィッシングクルーズ 初心者でも快適に楽しめる!<午前>

日本では見れない魚を見たり、引きの強さを味わうことができました。

Reviewed by: SB, 2024/05/07

アラワイポートハーバの入り口に受付場所があります。61番です。

日本語を、わずかに話せるスタッフがいました。
基本的な釣りの手技は現地の人が英語で教えてくれます。

イカを餌にオモリを海底まで垂らして釣るというものでした。当たりがないと船長さんが船を移動させてスポットを探してくれます。

とてつもなく引きの強いアタリが、3度ほどありましたが逃げられてしまいました。何の魚だったのかは不明です。

釣れた魚は基本的にリリースするようです。その場で調理することはありませんでした。しかし魚の種類や名前は教えてもらえます。

釣り好きの子供達は楽しんでおりました。


船はかなり揺れますので酔い止めは、必須です。
日差しも強あので日焼け止めも必須です。

いつもと違う角度からワイキキやダイヤモンドヘッドが見られるのでその点も新鮮でした。

Captain Bruce Kaneohe Sandbar Cruise with SUP, Guided Snorkel & Transportation

Great time, great crew!

Reviewed by: Chris A, 2024/04/27

Everything from the transportation from our hotel with our driver/tour guide Kaplan, to our cruise and adventure with Captain Jason and his crew were fantastic! They were knowledgeable about the reef and sandbar, and were clearly passionate about its care. Snorkeling was great, and they took great care of those that couldn't swim well or needed extra help with the equipment. The activities on the sandbar were fun, and the ability to chill on the boat and enjoy the provided snacks & beverages was nice as well. In the way back to our hotel, Kaplan stopped to let us get Malasadas at Leonard's! Highly recommended... 10 out of 10!

So easy to access from the beach, and a short ride to the turtles. Loved how music playing from the catamaran allowed surfers to allow our exit and entry.
Great captain and deck hands, with turtles sighted during our trip
Highly recommend this tour.

Liko Kauai Snorkel Cruises - Na Pali Coast Boat Tour & Sea Cave Adventure

Really great tour, incredible views and a wonderful captain and crew.

Reviewed by: Andrew, 2024/04/24

The Na Pali coast tour was amazing, the views were incredible and the captain and crew were extremely helpful, knowledgeable and skilled in maneuvering the boat into sea caves and along the coast.

We went with the family, including two kids (5 &7 yo) and everyone loved the tour.

The snorkeling was also a highlight and the crew had all the gear to make it safe and fun.

Our lunch was also very yummy!

And as a bonus we saw some dolphins that jumped and flipped out of the water for us, and also a sea turtle.

We could not think of anything that could have been better.

Aloha Andrew! We really appreciate you folks for joining us and we really love your amazing feedback on our accommodations, So happy your 5 & 7 yo enjoyed the tour! Thank you again for joining us!

Reviewed by: Luis, 2024/04/24

This was my second time on the Mana Kai Catamaran. First time was doing the sea turtle snorkeling tour. It was fun being able to watch the sunset and see Diamond Head and the city from the ocean. The staff were very friendly and amazing. Was also fun sitting on the net and getting splashed by the water! I definitely recommend this tour for everyone!

Waikiki's Most Affordable Turtle Snorkel Boat Tour - Mana Kai Catamaran

Awesome tour!!

Reviewed by: Luis, 2024/04/24

This was a very cool tour! This was my friends and I first time visiting Hawaii and this tour made it very memorable for us! It was a lot of fun sitting on the net and getting splashed by the waves. The staff was super friendly and amazing. We got to see sea turtles and other marine life. Only downside is that there are other tour boats in the same location. So there's about a hundred people snorkeling in the water and it gets crowded super fast. People bumping and pushing each other or kicking each other in the water. Kinda felt like the scene in titanic lol. Other than that, it was a very cool tour! I'll definitely do it again when I plan my next trip!
I also recomend you bring a GoPro camera to take videos and photos.

  • A sea turtle came up for air right next to me.

Captain Bruce Kaneohe Sandbar Cruise with SUP, Guided Snorkel & Transportation

Well-thought out itinerary and extremely acommodating!

Reviewed by: Nicole C, 2024/04/24

What I LOVED:
- Available bins to store your items once on their boat [useful as a family member nearly dropped their phone overboard within seconds of sitting down]
- Included spam musubi and soft drinks
- PRESCRIPTION/Rx snorkeling gear [lifesaver as contacts are not an option while swimming and this is an amazing option that I never knew existed]
- Charismatic and protective crew [they keep the mood light and ensure you are well taken care of]

What I could change:
- Weather [though out of their control a lil extra sun wouldn't have hurt outside of a potentially bad sunburn]

Would I recommend this to others? Absolutely! I have already shared my positive experience with my extended family.

Comments from activity operators

Aloha, thank you so much for choosing Captain Bruce and for taking the time to leave this fantastic review! Your feedback is very informational for us, especially as we work on adding more details about our amenities on the website for future guests. Definitely we will add the information that we have the prescription snorkeling masks for the guests! Again, Mahalo for your review, and we appreciate you recommending us to your extended family - that means a lot to us!
We hope to welcome you all back on board for another unforgettable Hawaiian experience soon!

Waikiki Swim with Turtles Tour - Moana Catamaran Best Honolulu Snorkeling Cruise

Once in a lifetime experience

Reviewed by: Katherine, 2024/04/22

We booked a family snorkeling with turtles experience on the Moana Catamaran, and the crew ensured that we had an exceptional experience. Anthony, the captain, was personable and informative. He was happy to answer a LOT of questions, and provided insight into Hawaiian culture throughout the experience. When it came time to enter the water, Claire was an outstanding guide. She ensured that the kids (10 & 12) felt confident with the unfamiliar snorkeling equipment, and took the time to locate and identify a variety of sea life. The crew made this a memorable experience for our entire family, and we highly recommend this experience for visitors to Oahu.

Captain Bruce Kaneohe Sandbar Snorkel & Private Speed Boat Rental

Excellent choice

Reviewed by: T. Le, 2024/04/22

My family and I (2 adults, 2 children) had a great time exploring the sandbar and reef area with our captain/tour guide. We learned a lot about the history of the sandbar as well as got to enjoy the water and sandbar area. We got lucky with the weather since it rained earlier in the day. The provided snacks and musubis were excellent. We were sad when it ended, but brought back many memories.

Comments from activity operators

Thank you so much for joining our tour and taking the time to write such a fantastic review! We're thrilled to hear that your family, including your children, had a great time exploring the sandbar and reef with us. We love sharing our knowledge of Hawaii waters, and we're glad you enjoyed learning about the sandbar.
We're happy the provided snacks and musubis were a hit :)

We're so grateful that we could be a part of your wonderful memories, and we hope to welcome you on board again soon! A hui hou!

Waikiki's Most Affordable Turtle Snorkel Boat Tour - Mana Kai Catamaran

Excellent Snorkel experience

Reviewed by: A Mercer, 2024/04/20

The staff was friendly, helpful and professional. The trip was wonderful and there are many providers available, and the value for service on this trip was excellent. They were punctual, the equipment was in good condition. Turtle Canyon has turtles, but lots of other tour boats. They were very situationally aware which kept us safe. We also got some bonus dolphin activity on the way out and back. Two thumbs up.

Whale watching tour

Reviewed by: Rebecca Mominee, 2024/04/20

We took this vessel out to watch whales. The staff were awesome. Provided a lot of great information of life as a whale. The water was a bit choppy so there was a bit of rocking. After we disembarked, the Captain spent a good 10-15 minutes out of his busy schedule to talk with us.
I highly recommend the tour!

Captain Bob's Kaneohe Sandbar Snorkel & BBQ Lunch with Free Transportation

Such a fun day!

Reviewed by: Jen F., 2024/04/13

This was by far the best cruise excursion I have ever participated in, and I’ve done quite a few on Oahu.

Pickup was well organized and on time. The ride out to the boat was pleasant.
The crew in itself felt like family. They were the nicest people, very welcoming and knowledgeable.
Captain even jumped in the water with the kids and everyone went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. Bbq lunch was great.
We saw manta rays and turtles that came right up to the boat,it was a really wonderful day and I can’t tell them thank you enough.
I will absolutely book this again next time we visit.

Waikiki's Most Affordable Turtle Snorkel Boat Tour - Mana Kai Catamaran

Friendly crew and so much marine life

Reviewed by: Andrea, 2024/04/12

The snorkeling was such a blast we saw several turtles and a ton of fish. The crew were such a pleasure to be around every one of them was nice, knowledgeable and friendly. The boat was small but that was the best part because then we had a much more intimate experience and were able to feel comfortable with our crew(not hard they were all so nice). We were out for over an hour but could hang out on the boat and reenter the water whenever we felt like. The boat had a nylon strap front you could sit on and get wet which we did on our way back to shore after the snorkeling. It was a great relaxing and fun time. Definitely would recommend this company because the price is great, the crew was amazing and the trip was not overly packed.
