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

The sail was not hoisted once plus disregard for environment

Reviewed by: Lily, 2024/05/30

I was expecting to be sailing since we were aboard a sailboat. I was very disappointed and expressed my interest to sail with the crew (the wind was awesome) they said we could sail back. I brought this up several times and got other passengers excited about it as well. The crew decided we didn't have enough time even though we waited at the snorkel spot long after everyone had come out of the water. We did not get to sail back. Additionally when we were snorkeling I saw a turtle covered in fishing line all tangled up... I pointed this out to the crew and they said "oh well we cant touch them" with complete apathy.

It was quite depressing and the apathetic unenthusiastic crew just made it worse. Seek another sailboat tour. Maybe they will actually sail.

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>

なんともいえない感じでした

Reviewed by: mami, 2024/05/26

英語スタッフのみとあったので覚悟して行きましたが、やはり全て英語でした。また、一緒に参加する方も日本語を話せる方はおらずという感じでした。
また説明ではあまり聞いたことのない英語もあったので、雰囲気で理解しましたが周りの方に合わせて動けば何とかなりました。
船はとってもカッコよくて、どこでもいいからゆっくりしてねという感じで自由に過ごせました。写真映えは最高です。
シュノーケリングは日本で何回かやったことがあるのですが、ハワイの海は波が高いので思ったように動けず、少し恐怖もありました。腰につけるライフジャケット?は脇下と腰に2つ付けるとなんとかなりました。外すのは絶対ダメという感じでポイントを知らせてくれる方と船の上からしっかり見ている方といらっしゃったので安全面はしっかりしているのかなという感じでした。
海亀は海面に浮いてきたり、泳ぎながらも見れたのでよかったです。
波が高く、船も結構揺れるので船酔いをする方は酔い止め絶対にいります。あと、お腹が空いたり、暑さもあるので、水分と軽食があってもいいと思います。お金を払えばソーダやお酒は提供してくれます。

Kaneohe Bay Sandbar Ocean Sports Adventure with Snorkel, Kayak, SUP & Live Music

Amazing crew!!

Reviewed by: María Hoyt, 2024/05/23

I would like to first start off make sure you leave with plenty of time! We unfortunately got stuck in traffic. And I was so upset thinking we would lose our trip. I ran to see if there was any hope and I received a call from the pleasant captain Sandy asking if we were still joining them. She was sooo nice and eased me letting me know they are still there no problem. We got on and they were so nice to us. I was so embarrassed and flustered we were so late and they were just soooo nice to us. Honestly I wouldn’t have blamed them if they were annoyed but they weren’t (or at least didn’t show it). The whole ride was smooth, the music was amazing and the activities were so fun. I truly believe the service makes an experience and they totally made ours!! It was so fun! Also pro tip bring some adult beverages to relax even more :) maholo to the crew for an amazing time!

Reviewed by: Morning snorkeler, 2024/05/23

Very good trip. Crew was very knowledgeable while at the same time very relaxed. Put everyone at ease, regardless of experience level. Just the right size boat/group size.
Wonderful to be out on the water; we saw a couple of turtles on the way out and a couple more while snorkeling, as well as a variety of fish. Would recommend this excursion to others.

サンドバー シュノーケリングクルーズ バナナボートやバンパーチューブプランあり! 海に浮かぶラウンジ&船上ライブミュージック<午前・午後/日本語クルー>

アクティビティ満載!

Reviewed by: やまもり, 2024/05/19

大型バスで船着場まで移動し、日本人スタッフの方から簡単な注意事項等を聞いた後、船に乗り込みました。船には更衣室がありますが、水着は着て行った方が楽です。30-40分でサンドバーに到着しました。バナナボードのアクティビティも予約していたので、バナナボートからスタートしました。バナナボード自体の所要時間は5分くらいです。ボートが比較的安定しているので、振り落とされませんでした。その後は、2時間くらいカヤックやsupやボール遊びをして過ごしました。この日は前日の雨の影響で海が濁っていた為、シュノーケリングはありませんでした。終了後は、軽食のドーナッツを食べつつ生演奏を聴きながらゆったりと戻りました。注意点としては、帰りのバスが冷房効きすぎて半乾きの身体には寒いので、上着や予備のバスタオル等を持っていくことをオススメします。
総じて、楽しめました。

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>

念願のハナウマ湾シュノーケル❗️

Reviewed by: fumiko, 2024/05/18

念願のハナウマ湾シュノーケルが出来て最高でした❗️早朝は雨模様だったのですが、現場に到着する頃には雨もやみ、だんだん明るい空になってきて、シュノーケルの後半には綺麗な青空が‼️
水の中にも光がさしてきて、色とりどりの、大小さまざまな魚がたくさん見れて大満足でした!
亀は残念ながら探し出せませんでしたが、大きなアザラシがビーチの上にドーンと寝転んでいたのにはびっくり‼️魚もそうですが、アザラシも全く人を警戒していないのは素晴らしいことだと思いました。
日頃からハワイの方々の動物愛護の精神が徹底されているからこそでしょう!
ガイドのお二人もとても親切で安心して過ごすことが出来ました!ありがとうございました。

An experience of a lifetime!

Reviewed by: DC, 2024/05/13

This was an amazing experience! My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed this activity. They provided beautiful live music and some ono doughnuts + beverages! The sandbar was absolutely beautiful!

We recommend to bring water shoes if you want to snorkel…or in general, they come in handy! And don’t forget sunscreen! Also another tip is if you plan to use an Uber/Lyft as transportation that you pre book prior for pick-up especially! Because we were told that people sometimes waited hours to be picked up from that location. We pre-booked and waited probably 15mins.

Kaneohe Bay Sandbar Ocean Sports Adventure with Snorkel, Kayak, SUP & Live Music

Boat and crew were great, but CHECK THE TIDE before you book!

Reviewed by: djslider, 2024/05/12

The boat and crew were great. The snorkeling, not so much. Make sure you check the tide before you book! It's a sand bar and reef, so if the tide is out it will be too shallow to snorkel. We lost an hour of our two hours snorkel time waiting for the tide to come in, and when it did, it was still too shallow to snorkel over the reefs. And with all the ppl walking around stirring up the bottom, it was too murkey to see much anyway. Pretty mush a loss.
But did I mention the crew? Great music, helpful crew saved the day

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.

Must do excursion when in Hawaii

Reviewed by: Lily S., 2024/05/09

I go to Hawaii at least once a year but never knew about the sandbar until a year ago when friends took us out on their fishing boat. It was such a cool experience that this time I decided to book this excursion and it was the best experience ever! The boat they took us out on was big and clean with toilets. They had refreshments, doughnuts and a really good musician that played for us on the way out and back. Once we got to the sandbar, they had floating barge, kayaks, paddle boards and snorkeling all set up and ready to go in waist deep water all around. It was perfect for my 6 year old. There was a staff member to help us at each station and they were really attentive and helpful. I've been telling everyone that a trip to Oahu is not complete unless they experience this.

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。

船外のアクティビティに疲れたら、船上の生演奏で寛げる

Reviewed by: okidoki76, 2024/05/08

午後からの参加で天気は曇り。SAPを体験したくてレンタル。風が強くてブイの外まで流されそうになったが、スタッフのお兄さんがすぐにHELPに来てくれてサポートしてくれるので安心でした。シュノーケリングでは多くの魚がサンゴ礁の周りを泳いでいて水族館のよう。体が冷えた後は船内に戻り、サンドイッチで軽くランチ。スタッフのウクレレ&ギターの生演奏がとても上手で、盛り上げてくれました。船内は日本人客より外国人客(メキシカン、スパニッシュ、others)の方が多く、とても賑やかな雰囲気でした。もう少し晴天と風が緩やかであれば、もっと楽しめたかも。あと干潮時を調べていくと良いかも。

  • 大きなツアーバスで送迎(有料)。

  • 風が弱ければもっと上手にできたかも?

  • 船内は広くて賑やかな雰囲気。

Waikiki Snorkel with Turtles Cruise with Beers & Cocktails - Ke Kai Catamaran

Not worth it

Reviewed by: Neil, 2024/05/07

Very limited instruction was given into how to use the mask and snorkel. Mine was all twisted up and none of the staff provided any assistance.

The reef area is choppy and murky making it very difficult to see. There were 4 other boats there so the area was quite crowded. We saw 1 turtle and a few fish. Pretty disappointing.

If you are looking for a magical reef experience then I suggest go somewhere else like the Great Barrier Reef in Australia.

Back on the boat we were offered 1 drink only even though the tour says 3 alcoholic drinks are provided.

Wouldn't recommend.
