It was an amazing experience to see so many turtles at once. I have been to Oahu about 20 times but never seen so many turtles! Some of them came to the surface and I was able to see them very close, I could even see their nostrils. After snorkeling, we went sailing to the Diamond Head and the boat jumped up and down the wave and my children were so excited! I would surely want to come again in the near future.

We were scheduled to snorkel at two locations, but due to high waves, we only snorkeled around Molokini Island. The water clarity was high and beautiful, but there were few fish.
Additionally, there were many people, so we spent a long time waiting for everything (getting food, entering the sea), which felt a bit wasteful.
While the snorkeling experience was somewhat lacking, diving into the sea from the slide attached to the boat and enjoying the wonderful scenery while cruising was fun.
Also, the hamburger for lunch was delicious. My family was the only Japanese group, but it was reassuring to have a Japanese crew member.
2箇所でシュノーケルする予定が、波が高くてモロキニ島の周り1箇所でのシュノーケルになった。透明度は高くて綺麗だったが、魚の数は少なかった。
また、人数が多くて何をするにも(ご飯をとる、海へ入る)並ぶ時間が長く、少しもったいなく感じた。
シュノーケルの内容としては物足りなかったが、
船にとりつけられたすべり台から海へのダイブや素晴らしい景色のクルージング楽しかった。
また、ランチのハンバーガーはおいしかった。

We took our family of 4 (including twin 7 year olds) to this experience. We all got in the water and couldn't believe how many turtles we got to experience up close! The excursion was well managed and very fun! The ride after the snorkel encountered some big waves, which my kids freaked out about a tiny bit, but overall we had an excellent time. It was, hands down, our family's favorite experience in our 10 days in Hawaii.

I was led by guides who never forgot their respect for dolphins on a small group tour, and even though I can't swim, I was able to encounter a pod of dolphins twice! My daughter seemed truly moved by the pod and managed to dive during all six of her attempts, seeing not only dolphins but also a large school of mackerel. My son, who usually doesn't get seasick, ended up feeling nauseous on the boat. It might have been because he wasn't used to the wetsuit. Additionally, wearing a rash guard might have been constricting for him. Even the experienced guides mentioned that they feel seasick when wearing a wetsuit, so for those who can swim, it might be better to keep things light.
少人数のツアーでイルカに対するリスペクトを忘れない姿勢のガイドさん達にリードしてもらい、泳げない私でも2度ほどイルカの群れに出会えました!
娘はイルカの群れに本当に感動したようで、6回ほどのチャレンジ全て潜り、イルカの他アジの大群なども見たようです。
息子は普段酔うタイプではないのですが、船酔いしてしまいました。ウエットスーツが慣れなかったせいもあるかもしれません。更にラッシュガードも着ていたのが体を締め付けていたのかも。
慣れてるガイドの方でもウエットスーツを着ると酔うとおっしゃってたので、泳げる方は、身軽にした方がいいかもです。

Since there was no shuttle service, we took an Uber to the dock for $20. When we signed up for the trip, it turned out that we were the only ones on the boat. It seems that the other participants, all from English-speaking countries, were on separate boats with their families. After visiting the blowhole, we went snorkeling at Captain Cook's Cove, where we saw a lot of tropical fish. After that, we went looking for dolphins and encountered a large pod of dolphins called Captain Whale, which were about 5 meters long! We observed the dolphins from the boat.
Since we went on a small boat, here are some points to consider:
Pros: The small boat can anchor close to the coral reef, allowing us to get near the fish areas without swimming too much. With fewer people, it feels more private.
Cons: There are only two seats with backrests. The other two seats are like benches on the side, so it feels scary unless you hold onto something to avoid being thrown around. There was only one staff member who acted as both the driver and the guide. The boat goes quite fast, so motion sickness medication is a must.
送迎なしのため、船着き場まではuberで$20で行きました。4人で申し込んだところ、船に乗るのは私達だけでした。他の参加者【全員英語圏】も家族ごとに別の船だったようです。ブロウホールを見学したあと、キャプテンクック岬でシュノーケリングしました。たくさんの熱帯魚が見られます。そのあとイルカを探しに行き、キャプテンホエールという体長5mの大きなイルカの群れに遭遇できました!イルカは船上からの観察です。
小さいボートで行くので以下をご参考に。
メリット:船が小さいので珊瑚礁の近くに停泊できる。したがってあまり泳がなくても魚エリアに近づける。少人数なのでプライベート感がある。
デメリット:背もたれのある座席は2席のみ。あとの2席は側面のベンチのような椅子に座るので、何かにつかまっていないと飛ばされそうで怖い。船のスタッフは運転手兼ガイドの1名のみ。かなりスピードを出すので酔い止めは必須。

PLEASE READ, IT WILL HELP! Truthfully I was skeptical when the tour started, we were the last boat to the area and the last in the water and you could see everyone getting a little edgy seeing other groups experiencing the odd Manta whilst we were still on deck. The staff kept telling us to relax, it would be great. When we finally got in the water we waited a short while for the first Manta and it is exciting, however we didn’t know what was to come. Their plan worked a treat, the other boats all started to leave as they are
On strict timeframes (although we didn’t realise this with our heads down) and we were swarmed by Mantas. The crew counted 7, I thought there were more but perhaps that was my excitement. These giants come so close you can’t believe they don’t touch you belly to belly as they barrel roll. THIS IS AN UNBELIEVABLE EXPERIENCE. The crew are very careful not to damage the environment with their anchor placement and so respectful of the Mantas. I cannot recommend this experience or this operator enough.
STILL SMILING
Thanks for coming out with us Adam and for taking the time to write this great review! Sounds like you had a fantastic manta showing, we're happy to hear it. We appreciate you noticing all we do to provide this experience to the public as safely and respectfully as possible. We hope to get the opportunity to have you out with us again sometime soon.

It was the worst. First of all, the boat was probably over capacity. We were crammed in tightly, and those who couldn't sit had to sit on the steps. We were told to take off our flip-flops before getting on the boat. Those wearing water shoes were allowed to keep them on. For nearly 30 minutes, I was trying to avoid seasickness by staring into the distance in such a cramped space. When we arrived at the spot, we entered the water, but instead of swimming, we had to hold onto a rope and stay in a stretched-out position. (There was no space between us and the person next to us, so we were constantly bumping into each other.) Kicking our legs was prohibited. We had to maintain that position for about 50 minutes. It was really tough, and it got quite cold. I have experience with snorkeling and diving and was confident in my stamina, but this type of tour was a first for me, and I was quite exhausted.
Moreover, the descriptions stated things like "You can see mantas up close" and "First-timers will be well supported and feel safe!" and "The boat is comfortable," but the mantas didn't come close at all, there was no reassuring support, and a cramped boat with people so close together was anything but comfortable. It's understandable that mantas, being wild animals, might not show up, but it seemed like the divers below were trying to lure them in. However, the bubbles from their exhaled air kept rising towards us, making it impossible to see any mantas. I could only confirm the presence of a manta below with light about three times. After returning to the boat, someone ended up vomiting (which is understandable after maintaining that floating position for 50 minutes), but the tour staff aggressively washed the vomit away with water right at our feet. We almost ended up with "sympathy vomit," so we moved away from our seats. The vomit was not completely cleaned up, and there were remnants scattered at our feet. Later, we were told, "If you feel sick, please use this bucket." I think such information should have been communicated before departure. The person who vomited likely didn't have any instructions on where to go, which is why they ended up vomiting on the boat. I couldn't walk barefoot over the scattered vomit, so I had to stand instead of sitting. There was no consideration from the tour staff regarding this, and we ended up sitting on the hard ground on the way back. Although there were cushions on the seats, we endured about 30 minutes on the hard ground while being rocked by the rough waves. It was really tough.
To begin with, they packed us in over capacity, so there was no preparation for emergencies like this. Despite paying a good amount, we ended up sitting on the ground on the way back, which was just the worst. They mentioned that light snacks would be provided, but all we got were peanuts. The tour was from 5:30 PM to 9:00 PM, so I was expecting a simple dinner (like sandwiches or burgers), but peanuts... I was really frustrated with this tour despite paying a good amount. If they are going to provide details about the tour, they should specify what kind of viewing method it involves and that the light snacks are not a dinner, so we should eat beforehand. For those hoping to swim with mantas, please be careful, as that is not the case.
最悪だった。まずボートは恐らく定員オーバー。キツキツに詰められて、さらに座れない人は段差に座る羽目に。ビーチサンダルはボートに乗る前に脱ぐように言われます。海用シューズを履いていた人はそのままでOKでした。30分近く窮屈な中、船酔いしないように遠くを眺めてました。ポイントについて海に入りますが、泳ぐのではなく紐に捕まって蹴伸びの状態。(隣の人との間隔がないので常にぶつかってます)足をバタつかせるのは禁止。そのまま約50分キープする体制です。とにかくその体制はきついです。そしてかなり冷えます。シュノーケルやダイビングをよく体験していて体力には自信がありましたが、このような体制のツアーは初めてだったのでかなり疲れました。そして、記載されていた【マンタが手の届く程近くで見れる】や【初めての方もしっかりサポートで安心!】【船上も快適】など書いてありましたが、マンタが手の近くまで来ることもなく、安心のサポートもなく、あんな人と人が密着してる窮屈な船上が快適なわけありません。マンタは自然の動物なので、現れなかった。と言うのは仕方ないですが、ダイビングの人が下でマンタをおびき寄せてたみたいですが、その人たちが吐く空気の泡が私たちの方に上がってくるので全くマンタを見ることができませんでした。3回くらい下にいたマンタを光で確認できた程度。そして船に戻ってから吐いてしまった人がいて(流石に50分も浮いた状態をキープするのは気持ち悪くなるのでそれは仕方ないですが)その人のゲロを私たちの足元にツアーの人が水で勢いよく流してきました。貰いゲロをしそうだったので私たちは席から離れました。ゲロは完全に処理されず、足元には流れきれなかったものがあちこちに。そしてあとから「気持ち悪い人はこのバケツに吐いてください」と。そういうのは出発前に伝えるべきだったと思う。吐いた人もそのような説明がなく、どこに吐いていいかわからなくて、船の上に吐いてしまったのだと思う。そして散らばったゲロの上を裸足で歩くのはさすがに私にはできなかったので、座る場所を奪われ立っていました。それに対してツアーの人たちの配慮がなく、私たちは地べたに座って帰りました。イスにはクッションが敷いてありますが、私たちは硬い地べたの上で荒波に揺られながら約30分間も耐えていました。本当にきつかったです。そもそも定員オーバーで人を詰め込んでいるから、万が一のこういう時の備えがない。いい金額を払っているのにもかかわらず、帰りは地べたに座る羽目なんて最悪すぎました。そして軽食が出ると書いてありますが、出してきたのはピーナッツ。17:30〜21:00までのツアーだったので、簡単な夜ご飯(サンドイッチやハンバーガー系のもの)が配られるのを期待していましたが、ピーナッツって、、、って思いました。とにかくいい金額を払っているのに、このツアーにはイライラしかしませんでした。ツアーの詳細を記載するなら、どのような見学方法なのかとか、軽食は夕食ではないから済ませて来いなど書いておくべきだと思います。マンタと一緒に泳げると思って参加を希望している人は、そうではないので気をつけてください。
Thank you for your valuable feedback.
While there was no fact of exceeding the boat's capacity, it seems that due to the safety measures for the night snorkeling, not allowing guests to sit on the outer tube part of the boat inevitably made it feel cramped. I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. In response to your comments, we will consider lowering the tour capacity below the boat's regulated limit.
I also deeply apologize for not adequately addressing the needs of those who felt unwell. We will ensure to provide guidance to everyone at the beginning of the tour moving forward.
Regarding the refreshments on board, guests are able to choose from a selection of juice, chips, and cereal bars. However, as you pointed out, the term "light snacks" could lead to misunderstandings, so we will revise the wording on our website.
Additionally, while we do inform guests about the necessity of raising their legs during the pre-briefing, it may not always be the most comfortable position. Although it was a requirement for swimming with wild mantas, if our guides had checked in more frequently on guests' conditions, it might have allowed for a more enjoyable night snorkeling experience. I apologize for the lack of consideration.
We take your candid feedback seriously and will strive to make our tours more comfortable for everyone in the future. Thank you very much for your valuable time.
貴重なご意見をいただきありがとうございます。
船の規定の定員オーバーであったという事実はございませんが、ナイトシュノーケルということで安全にご移動いただくため船の外のチューブ部分に座らないようにすると、必然的にお船が窮屈な状態になってしまったようです。ご不便な思いを強いてしまい大変失礼致しました。お客様のご意見を受け、ツアーの定員を船の規定の定員より下げることを検討致します。
また、気分を悪くなされた方へのご対応が至らず大変申し訳御座いませんでした。今後はツアーの始めに皆様にご案内させていただくように致します。
船上でのお召し物については、ジュースに加えチップスとシリアルバーのボックスからお好きなものを選んでいただいておりますが、お客様の仰られる通り、「軽食」という記載では誤解を招きかねないため、サイト上での記載を改めさせて頂きます。
また、事前のブリーフィングで足を上げる体制の必要性についてもご案内はさせていただいておりますが、楽な姿勢かと言われると必ずしもそうではないかと思います。野生のマンタと泳ぐために必要な条件であったとはいえ、もう少しガイドが頻繁にお客様の体調やコンディションについてお声掛けをできていれば快適にナイトシュノーケリングをお楽しみいただけたかもしれません。配慮が足りず失礼致しました。
お客様の率直なご意見を真摯に受け止め、今後皆様により快適に楽しんでいただけるツアーになるよう精進してまいります。貴重なお時間をいただき、誠にありがとうございました。

First, we boarded a six-person boat and headed out to sea. There, we received instructions on how to wear a wetsuit and snorkel. Even though the sea wasn't too rough, the boat was still swaying a bit, and I started to feel a little seasick. After that, they took us to the dolphin point. Since this point is the same as many other tours, there were a lot of Japanese people there (laughs).
There were really many dolphins, and I was able to swim with one that came close. However, just floating on the waves made me feel nauseous, which was tough. After seeing the dolphins, we returned to the original shore for a 15-minute break. During that time, I felt better and really enjoyed snorkeling while watching tropical fish and coral.
Of course, I paid a little over 10% of the fee as a tip at the end.
まず6人乗りのボートに乗り、沖まで行きました。そこでウエットスーツとシュノーケリングの仕方の説明を聞きます。そんなに海が荒れてなくても揺れますので少し酔い始めました。その後イルカのポイントまで連れてってくれます。ポイントは色んなツアーと同じなので日本人が沢山いました(笑)
イルカは本当に沢山います、近くに来たイルカと泳ぐ事も出来ました、しかしに波に浮かんでるだけでも酔ってきて辛かったです。イルカを見た後一度元の岸に戻り15分休憩、その時に酔いはとれ熱帯魚と珊瑚を見るシュノーケリングもとても楽しめました、

I understand that it's nature and you can't control it, but honestly, I was expecting to see a bit more, so I felt a bit unsatisfied. We floated on the surface for over 40 minutes, catching sight of a manta ray three times at the edge of our vision, and towards the end, one manta passed quite far below our group. We were so disappointed with the lack of sightings that when we finally saw one, we were like, "Wow!"
The guide was very considerate and polite, which was great. I want to improve my luck with manta rays and try again. There was a little girl, around elementary school age, in our group who started to cry from the cold halfway through. The night sea can be tough for small children.
Also, I think it's a good idea to prepare tips for the local staff. After returning to the port, the guide mentioned, "If you'd like to give something to the driver," and some people were caught off guard. It's not something you have to do, but being able to do this smoothly feels smart. On the day, you will be taken care of by about three to four people, including the guide, the boat driver, and the shuttle staff, so I recommend it.
自然の生きもの相手なのでしょうがないと分かってはいるものの、正直もう少し見られるかと思っていたので物足りない感。
40分以上海面を漂って、視界の端にマンタをとらえること3回、終わり頃に1度だけ自分たちのグループの下(かなり下)をマンタが通過していきました。あまりに見られなかったので、そのときには「おおっ!」となりましたが…。
ガイドさんは気遣いのある丁寧な方でとても良かったです。自分のマンタ運を高めて、またチャレンジしたいです。
一緒のグループで参加されていた小学生くらいのお嬢さんが、途中から寒い寒いと半泣き状態でした。夜の海は小さいお子さんにはつらいかもしれません。
また、現地スタッフさんへのチップをご用意されておくと良いかと思います。帰港後ガイドさんに「運転手さんに良かったら」と言われ、あわてている方も。必ず渡すべきものではありませんが、こういうのがすっとできるとスマートな気がします。ガイドさん、船の運転手さん、送迎のお兄さんなど、当日は3〜4名の方にお世話になりますので、ぜひ。

The beautiful sea and perfect weather allowed me to see many sea turtles up close. It's clear that they take great care of the turtles. I highly recommend it.
However, there was one issue: while returning to the boat from the sandbar, a sea turtle appeared near me. Someone threw the shrimp tails we had for lunch between the turtle and me. Was that a tourist's doing? Was it a staff instruction? I'm still unsure if feeding them was acceptable, and I missed the chance to ask, which leaves me feeling a bit unsettled.
綺麗な海、天気も最高で間近に多くのウミガメを見ることができました。また、ウミガメをとても大切にしていることがよくわかります。

ただ一点、サンドバーから船に戻る時にウミガメが私の近くに現れました。さらに、ウミガメと私の間にランチでいただいたエビの尻尾を誰かが投げ入れました。あれは観光客の故意?スタッフの指示?エサを与えるこの行為自体OKだったのか未だにわかりません。聞きそびれてモヤモヤしてします。
Aloha! This is Captain Bruce's Paradise of the Sea Tour. Thank you very much for participating. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed the tour.
Regarding your comment about the sea turtles, in Hawaii, sea turtles are specially protected animals, and there are regulations that prohibit touching or feeding them.

弊社でもツアーの際にウミガメを保護するための規則をご説明しているつもりなのですが、この度はしっかりと皆様に伝わっていなかったようでトッシー様を困惑させてしまい大変申し訳ございませんでした。
今後はこのようなことがないように、もっとわかりやすくお客様にご説明するよう改善していきたいと思っております。貴重なご意見を頂戴いただき誠にありがとうございました。またのお越しを、大切な仲間であるウミガメと一緒に心よりお待ち申し上げております。

Great experience knowledgeable guides. Whole operation runs smooth. Definitely touristy but there is a reason it’s so popular! Book it! 10/10 would recommend. Beautiful experience. Such great animals.
Thankyou for the kind review and getting to experience this with us, we hope you can join us on your next visit. Mahalo Nui Loa!

On the day, it was quite difficult to find dolphins. The guide communicated with other boats and made every effort to search for them. As a result, we were able to see a rare bottlenose dolphin just in time, and I am grateful for that encounter.
However, it felt more like "seeing dolphins swimming underwater" rather than "swimming with dolphins." Also, when the search for dolphins takes a long time like this, there is hardly any time left to enjoy snorkeling. If you don't take that into consideration, you might feel a bit disappointed.
Additionally, I personally didn't have any tips prepared, which I regretted. While it's not something you have to pay, I think it's nice to give a little something to the guide and the boat driver who worked hard for us. It would be smart to prepare a tip in addition to the fee.
当日はなかなかイルカが見つからず…。ガイドさんが他の船と連絡を取り合い、心をつくして探してくださいました。結果、ぎりぎりのところで珍しいバンドウイルカが見られ、出会いに感謝です。
ただ、「イルカと泳ぐ」ではなく、「水中で泳いでいくイルカを見る」イメージになります。また、今回のようにイルカ探しの時間が長くなると、シュノーケルを楽しむ時間はほとんどありません。それらを了承しないと空振り感があるかも。
また、私的にはチップの用意がなく、しまったなぁという思いです。払わないといけないものではないですが、いろいろ考えて動いてくださったガイドさんや船の運転手さんにぜひ心付けを。代金とは別に、チップをご用意をされていくとスマートかと思います。

We participated as a family of four, including two elementary school students. Since it was during Japan's Obon holiday, we were prepared for a large group, but luckily, we were the only participants.
Since it was everyone's first time snorkeling, they carefully taught us how to put on the mask, how to breathe, and how to swim, which made us feel at ease. The guide held the children's hands and took us to spots with more fish, allowing us to see many beautiful fish.
They also took a lot of photos and sent them to us via LINE.
The price is definitely not cheap, but for us as first-timers, choosing this tour with a Japanese guide was a fantastic decision.
小学生二人含む家族四人で参加しました。日本のお盆休みの時期だったので、他の大勢での参加を覚悟していましたが、ラッキーな事に私達家族だけの参加でした。
全員初シュノーケルだったので、マスクのつけ方、息の吸い方、泳ぎ方など一から丁寧に教えてくださり安心して参加することができました。
ガイドさんが子供達の手を引いて、より沢山の魚がいるスポットに連れていってくださり、沢山の綺麗なお魚を見ることができました。
写真も沢山撮ってくださり、LINEに送ってくださいました。
値段は決して安くはないですが、初めての私達にとっては、日本人ガイドさん付のこのツアーにして大大大正解でした。

The Japanese staff were very kind, helping us look for sea turtles and showing us snorkeling spots. I asked for her name, but I couldn't hear it over the sound of the boat engine, so I don't know her name. The Japanese staff member (a woman) was very friendly, and we had a wonderful day. Thank you very much.
日本人スタッフの方が、一緒にウミガメを探してくれたり、シュノーケリングスポットを教えてくれたりとても良い方で、
名前を聞いたのですが、船のエンジン音で聞こえなかったので名前がわかりませんが、日本人スタッフの方(女性)がとても親切で楽しい一日を過ごせました。

In the summer sea, you can enjoy the sunset and stay in the water for 45 minutes without it being too cold. They keep the lights on in the water, so many manta rays swim close by. They spin around right in front of you, showing off their playful spirit. On the boat, there are light snacks available, such as drinks, fruits, and chips. It's all in English, but it's easy to understand and fun. If you're prone to seasickness, taking motion sickness medication is a must. Keauhou Bay is quite far, so it's fine for those staying at the Sheraton, but others will need to rent a car.
夏の海、サンセットもみれて、そんなに冷たくない海で45分つかります。
海ではずっとライトをつけてくれるのでたくさんのマンタが近くを通ってくれます。
目の前でくるくる回ってくれたりサービス精神旺盛でした。
船では飲み物やフルーツ、チップスなどの軽食サービスもあります。
英語オンリーですが、わかりやすいし楽しいです。
船酔いしやすい人は酔い止め必須です。
ケアウホウベイはかなり遠いので、シェラトンの人は隣でいいけどそれ以外の宿泊の人はレンタカーが必要ですね。

I was very satisfied with the thorough guide from one end of Hanauma Bay to the other. Compared to other tours, the content was rich and a bit challenging, but I think the level of satisfaction was completely different. Additionally, I was impressed by the flexibility in adjusting the content to match the participants, and I was touched by the personalities of Chieko and Dan! I also appreciated that they provided photos for free on Facebook.
ハナウマ湾を端から端まで丁寧にガイドいただき大満足でした。
他のツアーに比べて、内容が充実していて、少しハードですが、満足度が全く違うと思います。
また、参加者に合わせて柔軟に内容を合わせていただいており、チエコとダンの人柄に感激しました!
写真もフェイスブックで無料提供してもらえたのもありがたかったです。
Dear Happa, thank you for visiting with your family this time. We are very happy to hear that you were satisfied with our guide. I'm glad you were able to successfully download the underwater photos.
Since you chose our tour among many others, we started this service with the thought that at least we could provide you with your underwater photos. It means a lot to us that you enjoyed it!
Please do consider repeating your visit with your family the next time you come to Hawaii. We will always be here to welcome you.
Thank you very much. Mahalo!!
はっぱ様、この度はご家族でお越しいただき、ありがとうございます。

Did you go after Obon? It would have been better if there were no jellyfish. I was stung by a jellyfish, and the stinging sensation lasted for about an hour, but after that, I was fine. The pizza for lunch was delicious.
お盆過ぎに行ったのですか、クラゲいなければもっと良かった。クラゲに刺されてビリビリが1時間くらい続きましたがその後は大丈夫でした。お昼のピザは美味しかったです。
Thank you for participating in the tour and for your review.
It seems that there was a large jellyfish bloom this past week, and it must have been painful for you. I'm glad to hear it settled down after about an hour.
Please do come back for a rematch the next time you're in Hawaii. We look forward to welcoming you again. Thank you.

Since it was after the hurricane, the waves were still a bit rough, and it wasn't very enjoyable for families with small children. My 4-year-old got stung by a jellyfish.
As everyone mentioned, the pizza for lunch was large and very delicious.
I would like to try again.
ハリケーン後だったのでまだ少し波が荒く小さい子連れにはあまり楽しめませんでした。4歳の子どもがくらげにさされました。

Dear Nango,
Thank you for participating in the tour and for your review. We understand that you visited after the hurricane, and it was unfortunate that the waves were rough. Normally, Kailua has small waves and many calm days, so we hope you will come back for a chance to experience it again. We look forward to welcoming you back. Thank you.

I participated in this tour because I wanted to go to a place I had never been and also because I wanted to go snorkeling. Despite it being during the Obon holiday period, it was just my family of three, so we had the tour all to ourselves. The instructor, Akima, was a straightforward woman who truly loves nature. Throughout the tour, she shared enjoyable stories, and I was never bored. We were guided to beautiful beaches with hardly anyone around and to caves where Menehune were said to be, and during snorkeling, I had the incredibly rare experience of swimming with two seals. It was a very satisfying tour. I recommend it to beginners who are not fond of the hustle and bustle of Oahu, as well as to repeat visitors who have been to most places.
行ったことのない所へ行ってみたいというのと、シュノーケリングがしたいという事でこのツアーに参加しました。お盆期間にもかかわらず、参加したのは私達家族3人だけで貸切状態でした。インストラクターのAkimaさんはとっても自然を愛する、まっすぐな女性でした。ツアー中ずっと楽しいお話が聞け飽きることが全くありませんでした。ほとんど人のいない美しいビーチやメネフネのいた洞窟などを案内していただき、シュノーケリングではなんと2頭のアザラシと一緒に泳ぐという超レアな体験もでき、大満足なツアーでした。オアフの雑踏が苦手なビギナーさんにも大概の所へは行ったというリピーターの方にもお勧めのツアーです。

Thank you for participating with your son this time, 初ハワイ. Children adapt to snorkeling quickly, so they can often do it better than adults. At Blue Hawaii Divers, we also offer introductory diving tours at Hanauma Bay, so please consider having your first scuba experience there when he turns 12! We look forward to it. Thank you very much. Mahalo!!
初ハワイ様、この度は息子さんとお二人でご参加いただき、ありがとうございます。
お子様はすぐにシュノーケリングに慣れますから大人よりも上手にできますよね。ブルーハワイダイバースではハナウマ湾で体験ダイビングツアーも行っていますので、是非12歳になったら初スキューバはハナウマ湾でどうぞ!!楽しみに待ってますよ。
本当にありがとうございました。Mahalo!!
