I was surprised by the variety of services offered, more than I had expected! The Japanese staff explained everything clearly, which made me feel comfortable and allowed me to enjoy myself. It was quite cold when we returned from the ocean, so I was happy to have a warm drink. Even without participating in snorkeling, I was able to have fun with paddleboarding and floating on a ring! I was also satisfied to encounter a sea turtle. If I have the chance to go to Hawaii again, I would definitely like to participate!
予想してたよりもサービスが多くて驚きました!
日本人のスタッフの方が分かりやすく色々教えてくれて安心して楽しむことが出来ました。海から帰ってくるとかなり寒かったので温かい飲み物があって嬉しかったです。シュノーケリングに参加しなくてもサップや浮き輪で遊べました!ウミガメにも遭遇出来て満足です。またハワイに行く事があったらぜひ参加したいです!

The low tide at the sandbar was in the early afternoon, so the tour was scheduled for later in the day. The staff's humorous commentary as we headed to the scenic points really lifted my spirits. The staff were highly skilled and very attentive to safety. The sandbar was breathtaking, we saw four sea turtles, and the barbecue was delicious, making for a very satisfying experience.
サンドバーの干潮時間が昼過ぎだったので、午後からのツアーでした。スタッフのユーモアたっぷりのトークで絶景ポイントに向かい、とても気分が上がりました。スタッフのレベルが高く、安全にもとても気遣ってくれました。サンドバーは絶景だし、ウミガメは4匹も見れて、バーベキューも美味しくて大満足でした

I would give it 0 points.
We weren't even able to set sail, and there was no communication.
I had booked a hotel transfer plan, but when the time came, the bus didn't arrive. When I called, I was told, "We found a defect in the boat, and we can no longer set sail." If it were due to weather or something similar, that would be one thing, but a defect in the boat?
Moreover, there was no communication at all, and I only found out it was canceled after I reached out.
We were on our honeymoon, and it was truly disappointing. I was told I could reschedule for another day, but there's no guarantee that the same issue won't happen again, and I can't trust this company, so I canceled.
I urge the tour company to establish a system that allows for immediate communication in case of cancellations, so that no one else has to go through this kind of experience. In this day and age, there are countless ways to communicate, including email, chat, and apps, not just phone calls.
I hope no one else has to suffer the same fate.

I went in mid-February. I tried to make a reservation with Captain Cruise since they can get you close, but it was fully booked, so I made a reservation here instead. It didn't matter at all; we arrived right at the sandbar and were able to play on it!
It was a bit cold since it was February, but it was possible to go into the sea. When the sun was shining, it felt warm, but when it was hidden by clouds, it felt a bit chilly. After that, we had lunch on the boat and went to a coral reef spot to snorkel. It was also cold there, and we joked that if we didn't dive in, there was no point in coming. However, we gave up after about 10 minutes. Everyone looked cold. After that, we were able to get warm drinks on the boat, which was nice.
2月中旬に行きました。キャプテンクルーズだと近くまで行けるとのことで予約しようとしたら予約埋まって、こちらで予約しました。全然そんなの関係なくて、普通にサンドバーの岸に着いて、サンドバーの上で遊べました!
2月なのでやや寒かったけど海に入ることは可能でした。太陽に照らされていると暖かいですが、雲に隠れるとちょっと肌寒いって感じ。そのあと船上でランチして、サンゴ礁スポットに行きシュノーケルしました。これまた同じく寒くて、潜らないと来た意味ないねって話ながら入りましたけど10ぷんくらいでギブアップ。みんな寒そうでした。そのあとは船上で暖かい飲み物もらえてよかった。

I participated alone this time. It was my first time joining, but the crew was very kind, attentive, and warm, which made me feel safe participating alone! The weather didn't clear up much, but the sandbar was still very beautiful. Since it was a morning plan, the brunch was delicious too! The crew's stories were also very interesting. I had some anxiety about swimming, so I decided to skip snorkeling this time, but I definitely want to participate next time! I had a great time spending my free time just enjoying the sea! I fell even more in love with the ocean! I was also able to see a turtle, which made me very satisfied! I was truly healed by the magnificent nature and the crew. I definitely want to join again when I go to Hawaii. Thank you very much!

I participated with five friends. Perhaps because it wasn't the best season, there wasn't the sandy beach I expected, and the seawater was up to my knees, which was quite cold. About half of the people were wearing wetsuits. You can choose to do stand-up paddleboarding or snorkeling, and I participated in snorkeling, so I was glad I got to see a sea turtle! We had meals on the boat, and everything was delicious.
友達5人で参加させて頂きました。ベストシーズンでは無かったためか、思っていた砂浜はなく、海水が膝ぐらいまであり、かなり寒かったです。ウェットスーツを着ている方が半数ほどいらっしゃいました。サップをしたり、シュノーケルをしたり選べるのですが、シュノーケルに参加しウミガメを見ることが出来たので良かったです!

It was great! Got to see 8 sea turtles and a lot of fish. After snorkeling, they did a couple of laps around which was really relaxing and even got to see a whale (although I´m sure it might not be that common to see a whale).
The only down side was that it´s in Waikiki so there were several other tours in the same area so it was a bit crowded.

They offered a full bar and 2 types of draft beer! The Crew was awesome! They kept the drinks coming and provided us with lunch after our swim and was able to just relax out on the boat and enjoy the view.

The tour guide was frank and easy to talk to.
There is no towel rental, so you need to bring your own. It was still cold in January, and moving on the boat while wet with the wind made it extremely cold.
The tour itself was very good, but I felt it was a bit of a waste that I couldn't stay in the water for a long time because of the cold.
Also, since the explanations are in English, I thought it might not be suitable for those who are snorkeling for the first time.
ツアーガイドさんがフランクで話しやすかったです。
タオルの貸し出しはないため、持っていく必要があります。1月中はまだ寒く、濡れた状態で船で移動して風が当たるのでものすごく寒かったです。
ツアー自体はとてもよかったのですが、寒くて水中に長時間いることができず少しもったいなかったなと思いました。
また英語での説明になるので、はじめてのシュノーケリングの方は適さないと思いました。
Thank you for leaving a comment, Mog.
Yes, even in Hawaii, January can be cold. I also feel the cold, so the chill in January can be tough.
Regarding the manta tour, one of our strengths is that you can see them very close to the harbor where the boats depart, so there's less time spent on the boat while wet. However, for the dolphin tour, we do move around to search for dolphins, and there is also some travel time for snorkeling in Kealakekua Bay, so you will be wet during that time. Thank you for sharing this helpful information for customers participating in January.
Please stay warm this winter.
Mog様、コメントを残していただき、ありがとうございます。
そうですね、いくらハワイと言え1月は寒いですよね。私も寒がりなので、1月の寒さは応えます。
マンタツアーに関しましては、弊社の強みの一つは、船が出入りするハーバーからすぐ近くで見られるので、濡れた状態で船に揺られる時間が少ないことですが、ドルフィンツアーに関しましては、イルカを探して移動しますし、またケアラケクア湾へのスノーケリングのため移動も少しあるので、その間濡れた状態になりますね。これから1月に参加されるお客様にとっては、知っておくと良い情報をこのように書いていただき、ありがとうございました。
この冬の間、どうぞ温かくしてお過ごしください。

You can encounter honu while snorkeling! Other tours have boat entries, but Captain Bruce's tour allows entry from the sandbar, snorkeling right above the honu's habitat! The staff's support was also very satisfying, and I highly recommend it!

It was a great day filled with great adventure. I saw a bunch of turtles and even Had a few swim a little closer than the 2 meters we were told to give them. The crew was fantastic. They were always checking on us on the boat and were always with in sight in the water.
The only thing I didn’t like was the 42 people (plus the 4 crew members) on board. It felt crowded even when were spread out on the nets and side (hard to move around to and from the bar.) capping the max to 35 guests (plus 4 crew) would have made it an outstanding day.

We had a great time on the tour. The boat was easy to find. We signed a waiver and picked a spot to sit until it was time to leave. The crew were friendly and told us where to sit if we want a splash (my kids did) and where to stay dry. They even kept our bag somewhere safe from the waves. My kids loved laying on the net and riding out to turtle canyon. We were one of the first boats out there. They went over some simple instructions and handed out snorkeling equipment. I liked the life vests they used-it was an aqua lung type instead of a basic life jacket so you could choose how much air to have. I had brought a life jacket for my toddler and 5yr old, but they also had life vests for some other kids on our tour.
I had a 10, 5, and 22mo old with me. The crew was helpful handing out stuff and trying to find a mask to fit my 5yr old. She is actually a pretty good snorkel-er but unfortunately it was hard finding a mask and snorkel that fit her. They kept filling with water. I wish I had known and I would have brought hers. If you have a set you like-my tip is to bring it. They did not provide fins either which was ok but I can get my kids and I around easier with fins. The masks and snorkels were pretty basic. Mine fogged up every couple minutes but luckily I am experienced and can clear it. That’s the only draw-back about the trip is I would have rather had our own stuff that we have properly cleaned and fit better. It’s February and kind of a windy/rainy day but it was still warm enough to be comfortable In the water. There were lots of waves and the water was cloudy so it was difficult to see. Soon there were tons of boats and people. We mostly interacted with Matt. He was out in the water life guarding. He helped us find the turtles and was so nice letting my kids hold onto his surfboard when needed. He even helped me carry my middle daughter to the beach since I had my hands full. Thank you! He definitely made the tour great!

During our first trip to Hawaii with our 7-month-old daughter, there weren't many activities we could do, but I heard that there were participants as young as 0 years old in this sandbar tour, so we decided to join. I was really anxious before participating, but the tour staff were very cheerful and kind, which made it a lot of fun. Since I couldn't go snorkeling, my husband and I took turns holding our daughter while doing stand-up paddleboarding, which was enjoyable as well. Our daughter didn't sleep on the flight there, so I was tired, but the beautiful scenery was enough to make me forget that fatigue.

This excursion was one of my favorite things we did on the island! The crew members were fun and were very helpful to any and every one on board to ensure a great experience. They encourage first timers to attend a quick snorkeling class before you head out in the water, provide you with sunscreen, wetsuits if you are easily chilled, and also have “snuba” gear for those seeking extra adventure. The crew members were personable and eager to get to know the participants if you are willing to talk and mingle. We went on the first tour of the day, so we were provided with coffee and a tasty continental breakfast, as well as lunch, cocktails, and homemade cookies. The hospitality was nothing short of outstanding. Everyone on board was educated about what to expect from both stops and and we got to have a few whale watching experiences on the ride over! Also, don’t miss out on the photo package (we got some great shots and some belly laughing video footage of our group) - and certainly go down the slide for the extra excitement! I would recommend this to people of all ages!

I checked the times for high and low tide in advance from Japan and made a reservation. I signed up for a photo plan, and a dedicated staff member was with us, so we could take pictures anytime, and they took a lot of photos for us!
The Angel's Sea was truly beautiful! The water temperature was a bit chilly, but I gradually got used to it. Occasionally, there are stones mixed in with the sand, so I recommend bringing surf shoes if you're concerned about that.
In addition to exploring the sandbar, we could also enjoy activities like snorkeling, floating, and SUP, making for a very enjoyable half-day! During snorkeling, we were able to see three sea turtles, which I also recommend.
There were plenty of staff members, so I felt safe throughout the program. Additionally, we could interact with other participants during the program, which I think is one of its attractions.
事前に日本から満潮と干潮の時間を調べて予約しました。

時折、サンドに石がまぎれてることがあるので、気になる方は、サーフシューズを持っていくことをオススメします。
サンドバー散策の他に、シュノーケリングや浮き輪・SUPなどのアクティビティも行うことができ、とても楽しい半日を過ごすことができました!

I think it depends on the weather and luck, but the afternoon of February 13, 2020, was amazing. The contrast of the blue sky, the white sandbar, and the blue ocean was stunning, and even as a beginner in snorkeling, I was able to see a sea turtle! A turtle came so close that I felt like saying, "Don't come this way!" and I swam right above it. I had seen many turtles basking on the beach in Hawaii Island, but this was my first time seeing one swimming in the ocean. I was thrilled. Additionally, besides the popular restaurant Masala, we had plenty of buffet-style lunch. Not only the Japanese guide but also the foreign staff, including the captain, all made an effort to communicate in Japanese, which made me very satisfied. (It felt more respectful to Japanese customers compared to other tours where foreign staff would say, "I can't speak Japanese" and just speak in English.) I noticed thoughtful details, like the sandals I took off when boarding the boat being neatly arranged when getting off, and towels laid out on the bus seats for the return trip. I thought I would definitely like to participate again when I come back to Oahu.
天気と運次第だと思いますが、2020年2月13日午後は最高でした。空の青とサンドバーの白と青い海のコントラストが最高だったうえに、シュノーケリング初心者の私でもウミガメに会えました!「ぶつかる~。こっちに来ないで。」と言うぐらい近くにカメが近寄ってきたり、カメの真上を一緒に泳いだり。ハワイ島で甲羅干しのカメにはたくさん会いましたが、海の中で泳いでいるカメを見るのは初めて。感激しました。さらに、オアフ島で一番人気店のマサラダの他にビュッフェ形式のランチもたっぷり。日本人ガイドだけでなく、船長をはじめとする外人スタッフも皆、一生懸命、日本語でコミュニケーションを取ってくれ、大大満足でした。(他のツアーで外人スタッフが「日本語しゃべれません」と言って英語でまくしたてるより、サービス業として日本人客に敬意を表してくれている感じがしました。)乗船する時に脱いだサンダルが船から降りる時にはキレイに並べてあったり、帰りのバスのシートにバスタオルが敷いてあったりと、細やかな配慮を感じました。オアフ島に次に来る時も、また是非参加したいと思いました。

The lunch was delicious, and of course, the sandbar was amazing. Even when the wind and tide were strong, making it difficult to move while snorkeling, the support from the many staff members made it easy to enjoy ourselves.
ランチも美味しかったし、言うまでもなく、サンドバーは最高でした。風、潮が強くてシュノーケリングで思うように動けないタイミングでも、多人数のスタッフさんによるサポートがあって、安心して遊べました。

The weather was unstable at the time of departure, but it cleared up, and the rainbow was beautiful. I was worried about snorkeling, but I definitely think you should participate if you want to see sea turtles. They provide life jackets, so even if you're not a strong swimmer, it was fun.
Exploring Kailua was nice, but there were few places to change, and the water shower was cold, so I could only take a quick rinse. I was able to shop at a leisurely pace.
出港時は天気が不安定でしたが
晴れてきて
虹も綺麗でした。
シュノーケルは
心配でしたが
ウミガメを見るなら絶対、参加するべきだと思います。ライフジャケットを借りるので
泳ぎが苦手でも楽しかったです。
カイルア散策も良かったですが
着替える場所が少なく、水シャワーは
寒くてサッと浴びるくらいでした。
買い物はゆっくりできました。

I participated in the manta tour, but unfortunately, we couldn't see any mantas due to rough seas. Since it was the last day on the Big Island and I was scheduled to return to Oahu, I was a bit disappointed thinking I wouldn't be able to participate in any more activities, even with the guarantee system in place.
However, I was informed that since the headquarters is located on Oahu, I could switch to a local tour there, and I was able to join a dolphin swim tour in Oahu!
That tour was amazing, as I got to swim with many dolphins.
Although I was disappointed not to see mantas on the manta tour, the comprehensive guarantee system helped me avoid feeling like I lost out. I highly recommend this company's tours over others.
マンタツアー参加しましたが、シケのためマンタは見れず。
ハワイ島も最終日でオアフ島に戻る予定だったため、保障制度があっても今回の旅ではもう参加できないな〜と少しがっかりしてました。
しかし、本社がオアフ島にあるとのことで、そちらの現地ツアーに振り替えもできますと言われ、オアフ島でイルカ中学のツアーに参加することができました!
そちらのツアーはたくさんのイルカと泳ぐことご出来てとても素晴らしかったです。
マンタツアーではマンタ見れず残念でしたが、保障制度が手厚いため損した気分にならずに済みました。ほかの会社よりもこちらの会社のツアーがおすすめです。
ALOHA!!
Thank you for participating in the Manta University Night Course.
While it was disappointing that you couldn't meet the manta rays, I am very glad to hear that you enjoyed the dolphin tour on Oahu instead. When you come back to Hawaii, please do give Manta University another try.

The speed of the boat to the fishing grounds was extraordinary and it was a thrilling activity. I was able to see the humpback whale's spout, and the beautiful sunset was perfect. The water was cold, so I was glad to borrow a wetsuit. I was fortunate to see a manta ray, even if just once. The hot cocoa on the way back was delicious!
漁場までのボートのスピードは尋常でなくスリリングなアクティビティでした。ザトウクジラの潮吹きも見られたし、キレイなサンセットもバッチリでした。海中は冷たいのでウエットスーツは借りて良かったです。一度だけですがマンタを見られて良かったです。帰りのホットココアが美味しかったです‼️

The sea was very rough due to the front passing the day before. Despite that, we set sail. I was moved to see a manta ray, but I spent a long time in the water and my body got completely cold. When I got back on the boat, I was so cold that my stomach hurt, and my hands trembled for a while. It seems that the temperature in Hawaii in February is low as well. There was a Japanese guide, but I had to ask for information about the restroom and changing area; they didn't provide it on their own.
前日の前線通過で海は大荒れ。
その中での出港。マンタは見れて感動しましたが、海の中にいる時間も長くとにかく体が冷え切りました。
船に上がった時には、体が冷えすぎてお腹が痛く、手の震えもしばらく止まりませんでした。
ハワイ島も2月は気温が低いようです。
日本語ガイドもいましたがトイレの場所や更衣場所の案内はこちらから聞かないと教えてもらえませんでした。

I signed up after seeing the tour title and a photo of dolphins swimming. It turned out that we were just swimming in the same space as the dolphins (even though we were actually far apart in the ocean, around the surface). Since it was different from being in a confined enclosure, there was no way to swim with wild dolphins. My elementary school daughter was really disappointed, as we had joined the tour with the expectation of swimming with dolphins.
ツアータイトルとイルカが泳いでいる写真を見て申し込んでしまいました。
イルカが泳いでいる海と同じ空間(海の中と海面あたりで実際は遠く離れていたが)を勝手に泳ぐだけでしたね。
囲われた生簀の中と違うのだから、野生のイルカと一緒に泳げるわけないですね。
イルカと一緒に泳げるらしいよと期待させてのツアー参加だったので、小学生の娘は可哀想なくらいがっかりしていました。

Thank you for participating in the Private Dolphin Middle School.
Unlike an aquarium, this experience involves encounters with wild dolphins. While there is a high probability of sightings, the chances of meeting dolphins can vary from day to day. There are often opportunities to see them up close, so if you have the chance, we would be grateful if you could try again.

水族館とは違い、野生のイルカとの出会いとなりますため、
高確率での遭遇率ではあるものの、イルカに会える状況は日によって違いがございます。

It was a very enjoyable tour, but I think it depends on the weather! Since the weather wasn't very good, the sea looked beautiful and white whenever the sun peeked out. I was very satisfied to see three sea turtles while snorkeling!
とても楽しいツアーでしたが、お天気次第だと思います!
あまり天気が良くなかったので、たまにお日様が見えると海は白く綺麗です♪
シュノーケリングではウミガメに3匹も会えて大満足でした♪♪
