サンドバー天使の海　シュノーケリング＆ウミガメウォッチクルーズ　船上のBBQグリルで焼くハンバーガーランチ付き！＜午前／日本語クルー＞

Burgers on the sea are the best! 海の上でのハンバーガーも最高！

Reviewed by: のぐのぐ

At Sandbar, the experience on the boat and in the water was more comfortable than I imagined. For lunch, we had burgers with grilled meat prepared on the boat! And the best part is that drinking beer while in the ocean is something you wouldn't think is possible in Japan. We started playing beach volleyball with just 2 or 3 people, but before we knew it, more people joined in, and it became a blast! Snorkeling was also great, as we had about an hour to move freely and enjoy ourselves!

サンドバーでは、想像以上に過ごしやすい船の上と水の中。お昼は、船の上で焼いてくれたお肉を挟んだハンバーガーを！そして、何より海のに入りながらビールを飲んでもオッケーというのは、日本では考えられませんね。ビーチバレーも、最初は2、3人で初めてていましたが、いつの間にか人が増えて盛り上がり、最高でした！シュノーケリングも、約１時間も自由に動けるので、楽しめます！

The water clarity around Molokini Island was high, and it was a wonderful tour where I went to Wailea, went snorkeling, and encountered two sea turtles. The Japanese guide was very kind, and I felt that the English guide's explanations were provided in a more detailed manner.

モロキニ島周辺の海の透明度が高かったこと、ワイレアまで行ってシュノーケリングして海ガメ2頭に逢えて、とても素晴らしいツアーでした。

It was the best experience! 最高の体験でした！

Reviewed by: ジェイ

I had previously gone snorkeling at another location, but it wasn't as detailed and kind as this experience. This time, I felt that the explanations provided in advance were very thorough and considerate, ensuring that participants could enjoy themselves without any worries. Additionally, during the snorkeling, I was constantly watched over and guided, which allowed me to fully enjoy the wonderful underwater world without getting lost. I was pleasantly surprised to be able to swim for such a long time, which I hadn't expected. I would definitely like to use this service again.

以前別の場所でシュノーケリングをしたことはありましたが、今回のようにきめ細かく親切ではありませんでした。
今回はとても懇切丁寧に事前に説明いただき、参加者に不安のないよう安心して楽しめるよう配慮を感じました。
また、シュノーケリング中も常に見ていて誘導していただいたおかげで迷うことなくすばらしい海の世界を堪能することができました。
また、こんなに長い時間泳がせてもらえるとは思っていなかったのでうれしい驚きでした。
また、利用されていただきたいと思いました。

Fortunately, I was able to see both dolphins and sea turtles. I was impressed by the animals, the beautiful fish, and the mountains visible from the boat. The staff were very kind, and the children were able to enjoy the tour with peace of mind. As a parent, I was worried about swimming with my small child in the ocean, but thanks to the support of the staff, we were able to see many dolphins. Thank you very much.

Personally, I doze off during the important briefing on the bus in the early morning, and I regret not paying more attention.

ラッキーにもイルカも海ガメも見ることができました☆
動物たちにも綺麗な魚もにも、船から見える山々にも感激しました。
スタッフの皆さんもとても優しく、子供たちも安心してツアーを楽しんでいました。
親としても海の中で小さな子供を連れて泳ぐのも心配でしたが、スタッフの方々がフォローして下さったおかげで、たくさんのイルカが見ることができました。

ドルフィン・クエスト　イルカと触れ合えるプログラムが充実！キッズ向けプログラム＜ヒルトン・ワイコロア・ビレッジ内＞

I had a valuable experience! 貴重な体験ができました！

Reviewed by: 黒猫ジジ

We participated as a family of three: my 7-year-old son, my 11-year-old son, and their father. The price was high, so their mother decided not to join... but since she could film from the observation area, it turned out to be better for her not to participate!

We started with a 15-minute lecture about dolphins at the learning center, and then we went to the pool. They provided life jackets and goggles. There were two families of three, making a total of six people in our group. There were a few times we had to wait, but overall, we spent about 30 minutes in the pool, which was longer than we expected, and the kids were satisfied.

Compared to snorkeling tours to see wild dolphins, I think the price is indeed high. We were able to take a lot of photos, but the cost for purchasing the data was $55 for two photos and $155 for all, which is quite expensive. However, I felt it was a good choice since I was scared to take small children out into the ocean.

7歳、11歳の息子と父親、３人で参加しました。
料金が高かったので、母は参加を断念…でも見学スペースから動画の撮影ができたので、記録係としてはかえって参加しなくてよかったです！

はじめにラーニングセンターで15分ほどイルカについてのレクチャーを受け、その後プールへ。
ライフジャケットとゴーグルは貸してもらえます。
3人家族×2組の6人が同じグループでした。
途中、待たされる時間などがちょくちょくありましたが、プールに入ってから帰ってくるまで30分くらいと思っていたより長く、子供達も満足していました。

野生のイルカを見るシュノーケリングツアーと比べるとやはり値段は高いなと思います。写真もたくさん撮ってもらえましたが、データ購入代は2枚で55ドル、全部購入で155ドルと、結構な高額です。
ただ小さな子供を沖に出すのは怖かったので、こちらを選んで良かったと思います。

キラウエア火山 ヘリコプター遊覧　水～土曜日10:30限定で日本語パイロットのリクエスト可能＜フライト100分／英語パイロット／ワイコロアヘリポート＞

It's not just the best; it's a tour I highly recommend! 最高！では済まない、ぜひお勧めしたいツアーです！

Reviewed by: Sapphire

I participated in a helicopter tour from Hilo 20 years ago. At that time, I got motion sickness and remember feeling pale when I got off the helicopter. So this time, I recommended my daughter take motion sickness medication before we joined. However, the helicopters nowadays don't shake at all! Or maybe this particular helicopter was just superior. In any case, it was incredibly comfortable. Our pilot was Mr. Mochizuki, who is Japanese. The amount of information we could understand compared to an English-speaking pilot was completely different! It seems that it's not always possible to have a Japanese-speaking pilot, but we were lucky. By the way, applying through Mr. Mochizuki's homepage seems to increase your chances. Mr. Mochizuki, who has lived in Hawaii for a long time, impressively conveys the true state of volcanic activity. The highlight was the Kohala Falls. It felt like I had become a drone myself... The scenery was truly indescribable. The grass and trees swayed in the wind created by the helicopter's propeller as we landed right next to the waterfall. The black and brown lava was not the only color; there was also the green of the Big Island. This tour certainly costs a lot. However, it is an experience that far exceeds its value, and I highly recommend it to everyone. Lastly, please prepare a tip for the pilot. You might think, "Isn't the tour price high enough without a tip?" But when you get off, you'll want to give one. Especially if the pilot, like Mr. Mochizuki, makes sure that all passengers can enjoy the wonderful views by circling around.

20年前にヒロからのヘリコプターツアーに参加したことがありました。そのときは乗り物酔いし、降りたときには真っ青になっていた記憶が…。だから、今回は、娘に酔い止め服用を勧め、いざ参加。ところが、いまのヘリコプターってまったく揺れないんですね！それとも今回のヘリコプターが優れているのかしら。とにかくものすごく快適です。そして、パイロットは日本人の望月さん。英語スピーカーの操縦士さんと比べると理解できる情報量が違う！日本語スピーカーのパイロットを希望しても、常にかなうわけではないようですが、私たちはラッキーでした。ちなみに、望月さんのホームページから申込むと確率アップのようです。ハワイ在住歴が長い望月さん、火山活動のほんとうの様子を伝えようとする真摯な姿が印象的です。極めつきはコハラの滝。自身がドローンになったよう…。ほんとうに筆舌尽くし難い情景でした。滝つぼのすぐそばに着陸する際のヘリのプロペラが巻き起こす風に揺さぶられる草木。溶岩の黒色、茶色だけではない緑色のハワイ島の姿。このツアー、確かに費用はかかります。が、その価値をはるかに上回る、ぜひみなさんに強烈にお勧めしたいツアーです。最後に、パイロットさんにお渡しするチップをご用意ください。こんなにツアー料金が高いのに、さらにチップ？と思うかもしれません。でも、降りるときはお渡ししたくなります。もしパイロットが、搭乗者全員が素晴らしい景色を満喫できるよう旋回を繰り返してくれる望月さんなら、なおさらです。

It seems to be for adults. 大人向けかな

Reviewed by: kiringo

The day I participated, it was packed with about 40 people, and there was barely enough room to sit. There were four crew members. I attended with elementary school children, but the explanation for using the snorkeling gear was very brief, and after that, everyone pretty much did their own thing. During sailing, the crew said it was optional to wear life jackets, and since they came around to collect them, none of the participants ended up wearing them.

I was able to see a sea turtle, and I spotted dolphins jumping in the distance, which was great, but I felt it might be more of an adult-oriented tour.

参加した日は40人くらいの満員状態で席もギリギリ座れるという状態でした。クルーは4人でした。小学生を連れての参加でしたがシュノーケリングの使い方はサラッと説明するくらいで、始まってからはほとんど各自で勝手にやるというかんじでした。セーリングの時は救命胴衣は着けても着けなくてもよいと言ってクルーが回収しにきて参加者全員着用してませんでした。
ウミガメは見れたし、遠くでイルカが飛び跳ねてるのが見えたので良かったですが、大人向けのツアーかな？と思いました。

モロキニ島シュノーケリングクルーズ ＜朝・昼食付／現地集合＞

Japanese OK 日本語OK

Reviewed by: みゆまま

I participated with my 11-year-old daughter. There were Japanese staff members at check-in, which made us feel at ease. The boat was a large two-story vessel, but we chose the first floor because it was said to sway more on the second floor. There were about four Japanese families, a few Asians, and mostly Westerners on board.

It takes about an hour to reach Molokini Island, but with the sea breeze, we didn't feel nauseous and it was comfortable. We did two points of snorkeling, and before each entry into the water, the Japanese staff provided explanations. During snorkeling, the staff also monitored the area on bodyboards and would let us know if there were turtles or mantas around.

The Japanese staff were very kind, and we had a wonderful time. I highly recommend it!

11歳の娘と参加しました。チェックインにも日本人のスタッフさんがいて、安心でした。
大きめの二階建ての船でしたが、二階の方が揺れが大きいとのことで、一階を選びました。日本人は4組ぐらいで、アジア人は少し、ほとんどが欧米人でした。
モロキニ島には約一時間かかりますが、海の風を受けていれば酔うこともなく、快適でした。2ポイントシュノーケリングをしましたが、毎回海に入る前に日本人スタッフさんが説明をしてくれます。シュノーケリング中もスタッフさんがボディボードであちこちを見てくれており、カメやマンタがいると、声をかけてくれました。

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＞

I was able to see a lot of fish! 魚たくさん見れました！

Reviewed by: パンダ

In late August, my family (two adults and two middle schoolers) participated in a morning course. Along with us, there was a couple and a family with children, making a total of 10 participants plus instructors Dan and Chieko, bringing the total to 12 people.

Both of them were kind and had great personalities, and their explanations were very thorough. Before making a reservation, I debated whether to go with a guided tour, but I’m glad I chose this course. This is because they select the best course based on the day's sea conditions, such as the waves. If you’ve been there several times, you might prefer to go on your own, but since it was our first time at Hanauma Bay, we were unsure and a bit anxious. When they told us the course that swam from one end to the other, I thought that if it were just us, we definitely wouldn’t have chosen this course.

In the end, we were lucky to see a seal on the beach, which was adorable. It was a lucky experience!

However, since we just swam from one end to the other, it felt a little lacking. It would have been even better if we could have spent 10 to 15 minutes freely exploring the shallow areas.

But both the parents and kids had a great time. Thank you! It was a wonderful memory.

8月下旬、家族(大人2人と中学生2人)で朝からのコースで参加しました。私達のほかにご夫婦と子連れのご家族と一緒で10人とインストラクターのダンさんとチエコさんの合計12人で。
2人とも優しいですし人柄が良く、説明もとても丁寧です。予約する前、ガイドさん付きにするかどうか悩みましたが、私はこちらのコースにして良かったと思っています。と、いうのもその日の海の波などのコンディションを見て最適なコースを選び泳いでくれるから。何度か来た方なら個人で自由にでもいいと思いますが、うちはハナウマベイが初めてだったので勝手がわからず不安があったのもありますし、端から端まで泳いだコースを教えてもらった時、自分達だけだったらこのコースは絶対泳がなかっただろうなーって思ったので。
最後には運よくアザラシが浜辺にいて可愛かったです。ラッキーでした♪
ただ、端から端まで泳いで終わりだったので少〜し物足りず。ここら辺の浅瀬で自由に…とか10分15分でもあればもっと良かったかなと。。

でも、親も子供も楽しく過ごせました。
ありがとうございました！良い思い出です。

It was okay even if I could only do the flutter kick! バタ足しか出来なくても大丈夫でした！

Reviewed by: Sapphire

On the day of the tour, it seemed that the previous group had a hard time finding the dolphins and returned late. This meant that the tour was dedicated to ensuring we would meet the dolphins. In fact, our captain was determined to find them for us. About an hour after leaving the port, we spotted the dolphins! I could only do a flutter kick, but our guide, Aki, held my hand and encouraged me, saying, "Look down! Relax!" while we snorkeled. I was able to see a pod of dolphins up close! Of course, it’s different from seeing them in an aquarium! We continued to dive three more times while chasing the pod of dolphins. The captain made sure that all participants got to see and enjoy the dolphins. His dedication to ensuring everyone was satisfied was incredible! The only regret I have is that I participated without cash, so I couldn’t give a tip. I truly regret that. Thank you to Captain Noda and Aki, who guided me to see the dolphins! Aki is very knowledgeable about coffee. On the way back to the port, we stopped by a coffee shop, and the Kona coffee was truly delicious and not sour at all! This was also a wonderful experience from participating in the tour.

当日、前の時間帯のグループがイルカになかなか会えず戻ってくるのが遅れているようでした。…ということは、イルカに会えるまでがんばってくれるツアーということ。実際、私たちのグループにも船長が執念でイルカを探してくれました。港を出て一時間ほどで目指すイルカたちが！私はバタ足しか出来ません。が、ガイドのアキさんが手を引いてくれて、「下を見て！力を抜いて！」と激励されながら、シュノーケリング。しっかりとイルカの群れを見ました！当然ですが、水族館で見るのとは違います！その後もイルカの群れを追いかけながらさらに三回ほど潜水。参加者全員がしっかりとイルカに会い満喫するまで船を走らせてくれました。全員が満足を感じるようにという執念？がハンパじゃありません！心残りは、現金を持たずに参加したのでチップをお渡しできなかったこと。ほんとうにそれがめちゃくちゃ心残りです。船長の縄田さん、手を引いてイルカに会わせてくれたアキさん、ありがとうございました！アキさんは、コーヒーにめちゃくちゃ詳しいです。港に向かう途中でコーヒー屋さんに寄ってもらいましたが、ほんとうに美味しいコナのコーヒーは酸っぱくない！これもこのツアー参加の素敵な体験です。

My elementary school child wanted to see dolphins, so we participated. Unfortunately, the water clarity was poor, but we were able to see many dolphins, and it seemed like they had a lot of fun swimming with them. Even for adults, it felt a bit challenging to swim, so I thought it would be tough to pull along my first-grade child, but the staff helped by swimming with the kids, which was a great relief. Next time, I want to participate on a day with better visibility.

This trip to Hawaii was a long-awaited three-generation family vacation. To fulfill my 9-year-old niece's wish to swim with dolphins, we decided to participate as a family. Our family tends to be more indoorsy, and with many of us not being able to swim, we were able to enjoy ourselves safely thanks to the kind and friendly Nao and the handsome and fun Rei, who provided us with constant support. The sea conditions were terrible, and participants from other tour companies likely wouldn’t have seen any dolphins, but thanks to Nao, Rei, and the captain's persistence, we encountered a large pod of dolphins! They made our dream of swimming with dolphins come true, creating a lifelong memory. My niece was also very satisfied.

The driver, Mr. Nawata, was from Fukuoka like us, and we had a great time chatting about our hometown, making it enjoyable from start to finish! Mr. Nawata and Rei were just as handsome as they were described (laughs).

Thank you so much for the best dolphin tour! I definitely want to ask Aloha Kona Tours for help again next time!

ナ・パリ・コースト　サンセットディナークルーズ 運がよければイルカに会えるかも！＜夕食・飲み放題付き／英語ガイド／エレエレ地区＞

I enjoyed magnificent scenery that you definitely can't find in Japan. 日本には絶対ない雄大な景色を堪能しました。

Reviewed by: KAHSIN

I headed to the meeting place (meeting time 3 PM) by rental car. The office is located in a building on the right side as you head towards the port, and just beyond that, there is a large parking lot where you can park. After parking, I checked in at the office by confirming the health status items displayed on the screen (all in English). At 3:10 PM, the captain arrived, called out names one by one to confirm everyone was present, and explained the precautions in English before heading to the port. Besides us, there was another Japanese family participating, but the other 12 or 13 groups were all foreigners. Before boarding, we took off our shoes and went barefoot, leaving our shoes in the designated area (some people chose to carry theirs on board).

We set sail at 3:30 PM. There were three staff members, including the captain (two men and one woman). At first, it was cloudy, and we could see rain falling in the distance over the sea, which made us worry about the weather. However, as we headed towards the Na Pali Coast, the skies cleared up. We enjoyed the cruise while having drinks and light snacks (like cheese and crackers), and after about an hour, we finally saw the towering cliffs.

From there, we were treated to breathtaking views that you can't find in Japan! After about an hour, we reached the end of the Na Pali Coast (slowing down the boat at various points to take in the scenery) and turned around. On the way back, we carefully navigated the boat into a spot where the cliffs had eroded, creating a cave-like area, which was a lot of fun. We were also shown a place where there were many sea turtles, and we were able to see two of them surface.

Around 6 PM, we had dinner (there were quite a few options for rice and side dishes). We also got to see dolphins, who jumped out of the water and spun around to greet us.

Finally, just after 7 PM, we counted down together for the moment the sunset hit the ocean, and there was applause at the moment of sunset! (For those who wanted, there was a toast with champagne!) After that, we were moved by the changing colors of the sky from sunset to night. We safely arrived back at the port at 7:30 PM and disbanded.

The captain provided explanations through the microphone while driving the boat, and the other two staff members were very friendly, chatting with us and taking pictures for us. I couldn’t drink alcohol since I had to drive back, but others enjoyed the "all-you-can-drink!" It was the best time ever.

レンタカーで集合場所（集合時間15時）に向かったのですが、港に向かって右側に事務所がある建物、その先すぐに広い駐車場があるので、そこに駐車してOK。事務所で画面に表示された当日の健康状態確認事項（すべて英語表記です）にチェックを入れて受付完了。15時10分船長さんが現れ、１組ずつ名前が呼ばれて全員集合を確認し、注意事項を英語で説明して港へ。私達以外に、もう1組日本人家族が参加していましたが、他の12,3組程度の方はすべて外国の方でした。乗船前に靴を脱いで裸足になり、靴置き場に預けます。（自分で持って乗る人もいました。）
15時30分出航。スタッフは船長さんを含めて3名（男性2名・女性1名）です。最初は曇っていて、海の遠方では、雨が降っているのが見えて、天気がどうなるか心配しましたが、ナパリコーストに向かう途中でどんどん晴れてきました。行きに飲み物と軽食（チーズやクラッカー等）を頂きながらクルーズを楽しみ、1時間ほど進むといよいよ断崖絶壁の山が見えてきます。
そこからは、日本にはない絶景をこれでもか！というくらい楽しめます。約1時間ほどでナパリコーストの端に到着（途中ポイント・ポイントで船の速度を落として景色を堪能します）してUターン。戻る途中、絶壁が削れていて少し洞窟みたいなっている所に船を慎重に入れて楽しみます。また、ウミガメがたくさん居る所を案内してくれて、2匹水面に現れて見ることができました。18時頃、夕食を食べました。（ご飯、おかず、結構種類がありました。）また、イルカにも会えて、水面から飛び上がり、くるくる回転して歓迎してくれました。
いよいよ19時ちょっと過ぎに、海面に夕日が沈む瞬間を、皆でカウントダウンして、日没の瞬間に拍手！！（希望者にはシャンペンで乾杯！）その後、空が夕焼けから夜に向かう色の変化に感動し、19時30分、無事港に到着し解散となりました。
船長さんは運転しながら、マイクで所々説明をしてくれ、残りの2名のスタッフは、フレンドリーに話しかけてくれたり、カメラのシャッターを押してくれたり、とても親切でした。私は帰りに車を運転しなければならなかったので、アルコールは飲めませんでしたが、他の方はまさに「飲み放題！」
最高のひと時でした。

Hanauma Bay Self-Guided Snorkel Tour & Gear Rental with Hotel Transportation

Driver on time for both pick up times. Professional and friendly.

Reviewed by: melinda

The Driver was at our hotel on time, he was courteous and professional. Friendly as well. He gave good directions and made sure our snorkel gear was in good working order. He was early for our pick up and got us safely back to our hotel. The bay is amazing and it was by far the best place I have snorkeled and that is why I returned with my family.

サンドバー　キャプテンブルース　天国の海®︎シュノーケリングクルーズ　SUPや浮き輪などレンタルアイテムも！＜午前・午後／日本語クルー＞

200% healing! 癒し200%！

Reviewed by: なかむら

The crew members are kind and attentive. It was reassuring that they could speak Japanese. You can see schools of fish while snorkeling. Sea turtles come close enough to touch. They are protected animals, so you shouldn't touch them, but it's definitely an unforgettable experience. In any case, I recommend it because you can see the beautiful ocean!

クルーの方々が親切丁寧です。日本語が通じるので、安心感がありました。シュノーケリングも魚が群れになってるところが見れます。ウミガメめ触れられる距離に来てくれます。保護動物なので、触れてはいけませんが感動間違い無しです。とにかく、美しい海を見ることができるので、お勧めします！

イルカ中学　野生のイルカ＆ウミガメシュノーケリングクルーズ　高速ボートでイルカ遭遇率アップ！＜少人数制／ワイキキ＆コオリナ送迎可／日本語／ランチ付き＞

I am grateful for the wonderful encounter. 素晴らしい出会いに感謝☆

Reviewed by: Miho

I woke up at 5 AM and moved to the meeting place in the dim light.

I was worried because I had heard that a tropical storm was coming from the south, but with dawn came clear skies. The sea was calm as well.

The bus provided a thorough explanation beforehand. After boarding, they quickly distributed the equipment.

About 15 minutes after boarding, we encountered a pod of dolphins. We were able to see the dolphins up close as they swam back and forth without needing to change boats.

We moved to another spot for snorkeling. We saw two green sea turtles and an eel, among other things.

The guide mentioned that this was one of the top ten best days of the year.

As expected with wildlife, timing and luck play a role. It seemed challenging to find the dolphins that day, but I felt that the staff here would give their all regardless.

I was able to enjoy the entire experience since I took motion sickness medication.

However, the air conditioning in the car broke on the way back, so I’ll give it a ☆-1.

This can't be helped, but...

Thank you to all the staff and to the god of Waianae!

朝、5時起きで、薄暗い中、集合場所へ移動。

南側にトロピカルストームが来てると、聞いていたので、心配していましたが、夜明けと共に快晴。海も、穏やかでした。

バスで事前に丁寧に説明して下さっていました。乗船後も、テキパキ道具を配って下さいました。

乗船後、15分程で、イルカの群れと遭遇。
船に乗り直すことなく、何度も行き来するイルカを間近でみれました。

移動して、もう一度、シュノーケリング。
アオウミガメ2頭と、ウツボなどもみれました。

今年、10本の指に入るいい日だとガイドさんがおっしゃってました。

やはり、野生動物なのでタイミングと運は、ありますね。
イルカを探す日は、大変そうでしたが、そんな日でも、ここのスタッフさんだと、全力でやってくれると思えました。



酔い止めを、飲んでいたので、終始楽しめました。

帰りの車のエアコンが壊れてしまったので☆-1

これは、仕方ないんですが、、、

スタッフの皆さん、ワイアナエの神さま、ありがとうございました

Lucky double rainbow 幸運のダブルレインボウ

Reviewed by: TTTT

Today, there were six Japanese participants, one of whom was an 11-year-old girl. After listening to various explanations, everyone put on wetsuits, and I, being a bit nervous, also wore a life jacket. We set off to our destination on the cruiser!

"The waves are high today," they said, and we experienced quite a bit of rocking and splashes. "It looks like it's raining around the point," I thought we might be unlucky, but then I saw a rainbow in the left front. As I was delighted by that rainbow, I noticed another one behind us. And behind us was a beautiful sunset.

Thanks to that situation, we saw a large semi-circular rainbow. On top of that, it was a double rainbow! I was very satisfied with this cruising experience, which allowed us to enjoy a 360-degree view while getting splashed, even more than a regular sunset cruise.

When we arrived at the point, we put on our snorkels. Following my husband, I jumped in, but my snorkel came off due to an accident. However, the staff calmed me down, saying, "There's no need to panic. I'll help you put it back on."

As we reached the point, we were amazed to see a manta ray almost immediately. "Wow, that's amazing!" I exclaimed, and then two manta rays rolled up towards us from the seabed, circling just inches away with their mouths wide open—I could even see inside their mouths.

For someone like me, who gets nervous easily, it was quite a shock. But each time, they reassured me with, "A manta is coming!" "You're okay!" "Just relax and float!" This guidance helped me stay calm and enjoy the experience.

The plankton, larval crustaceans, and swimming fish were sparkling beautifully thanks to the lighting. It was truly a precious experience.

With attentive service throughout, the cruiser driver offered me sparkling water since I was feeling a bit seasick. Even though I was in a wetsuit, I still felt quite cold. The hot chocolate made by the staff after we returned warmed both my heart and body. It became a wonderful memory of Hawaii! ☆*:.｡. o(≧▽≦)o .｡.:*☆

本日の日本人参加者は6人。うち1人は11歳の女の子。
諸説明を聞き、全員ウエットスーツを着用し、ビビリの私は、ライフジャケットもつけました。
クルーザーで目的地へ発進❗️
「今日は波が高いですね」ということで大きく揺れつつ、波しぶきもしっかり浴びました。
「ポイント辺り、雨降っていそうですね」ということで、あー私たちついてないのかなーーーと思っっていると、左前方に虹が。その虹に大喜びしてると、左後方にも虹が。そして、背後には美しいサンセットが。
そんなシチュエーションのおかげで、半円の大きな虹が見えました。その上、二重に！ダブルレインボーになりました。
普通のサンセットクルーズより、波しぶきを浴びながら360度見渡せるこのクルージングだけでも、大満足❣️でした。

ポイントに着き、シュノーケル装着。主人に続いてドボンと飛び込むとーシュノーケルが外れるアクシデント。でも、スタッフさんが「焦らなくて大丈夫。つけてあげるから」と落ち着かせてくれました。
ポイントに行くと、驚くほど直ぐにマンタが(´⊙ω⊙`)。あー凄い！と喜んでいると、2匹のマンタが、海底より私たちに向かってローリングアップ。大きな口を開けてーーースレスレを旋回。口の中まで見えました。
ビビリの私には、強すぎる衝撃でした。でも、その都度、「マンタ来ますよー」「大丈夫ですよー」「力を抜いて浮いていてくださいねー」と的確に声をかけていただいて、落ち着いて、楽しむことができました。
海中のプランクトンー甲殻類の幼生等や、泳ぎ回るサカナ等、照明のお陰でキラキラしてよく見えました。本当に貴重な体験でした。

すべてに丁寧な対応で、船酔い気味の私に、クルーザーの運転手さんは炭酸水をくださいました。ウエットスーツ着てたけど、それでもとっても冷えました。帰着後に頂いた、スタッフさん手作りのホットチョコレートは、心も身体も温まりました。ハワイのとっても良い思いでになりました

サンドバー天使の海　シュノーケリング＆ウミガメウォッチクルーズ　船上のBBQグリルで焼くハンバーガーランチ付き！＜午前／日本語クルー＞

BBQ lunch cruise BBQランチつきクルーズ

Reviewed by: Koo

All other tours were fully booked, so we chose this one, and we had a great time.

For us, who were worried about not being able to keep up with a more intense itinerary, this was just the right amount of activity. The free time at the sandbar and snorkeling were perfectly timed for enjoyment. Although we didn't see any sea turtles while swimming, we encountered several from the boat. The children were very happy and expressed a desire to participate again.

There were also restrooms available, so we didn't have any issues.

予約がいっぱいで他のツアーは取れなくてこちらにしたのですが、とても楽しめました。

あまりハードな内容だとついていけないと不安だった私たちにとってはちょうど良い内容でした。サンドバーでの自由時間やシュノーケリングなどちょうど良い時間配分で楽しめます。泳ぎながらウミガメは見えませんでしたが、船の上から何匹もウミガメに会えました。子供たちもとても喜んでいてまたぜひ参加したいと思いました。

トイレなどもあったので困る事はなかったです。

It's a bit overwhelming. 煽られるのがちょっと

Reviewed by: よしお

The president personally guided us, but when there are dolphins, we have to jump into the sea quickly, and I was rushed with comments like "You're too slow to jump!" and "Hurry up and get ready!" Even if they rush us, we're beginners and can't respond quickly. I wish they could take it a bit easier. It made me quite anxious.

I did see dolphins, but the water was murky, so it felt like I could only see their shadows.

学長さん自らが案内してくれたが、イルカがいたら急いで海に飛び込まないといけないのだが、飛び込みが遅い！とか早く準備して！とか急かされる。急かしたところでこちらは初心者なので急には対応出来ない。もう少しのんびり構えてもらいたい。ビクビクしてしまう。
イルカは観れたけど海が濁っていて影が見えるという感じ

Captain Bob's Kaneohe Sandbar Snorkeling Tour & BBQ Lunch with Waikiki Pickup

Great day trip for the whole family!

Reviewed by: from SF, CA

Our group of 3 adults and 3 kids (12 yrs, 10, 10) took this trip a few weeks back during our vacation. We were not in the hotel zone so drove ourselves to Kaneohe Marina. Quick boat trip out to the sand bar, then to find honu (sea turtles) and finally out to a reef for some amazing snorkeling. Lunch (surprisingly delicious) was in there somewhere. Our crew was great - super nice, friendly and knowledgeable. Enjoyed hearing about Kaneohe Bay and the surrounding area. The only improvement I'd ask for is a bit more time out at the sandbar - felt like we could have stayed longer but other than that, everyone had a great time. We visit Hawaii every summer and try to hit new spots and new activities each visit. Our group agreed that we'd do this trip again if we could. Have fun!
