All Reviews for Snorkeling Cruises & Tours

On the day we went, there was seawater at the sandbar, but we had a great time. The water was a bit cold, but I think it's nice that they provide wetsuits for free. The lunch, especially the meat, was delicious. In the afternoon, we also had Leonard's malasadas, which were tasty. During snorkeling, we were able to see several sea turtles. The visibility wasn't extremely good due to the sand, but it was sufficient for snorkeling. The person who assisted us was kind, which was great!

行った日はサンドバーは海水がありましたが、楽しめました。
水は少し冷たかったですが、無料でウエットスーツも貸してもらえるので
いいと思います。
ランチも特にお肉が美味しかったです。
午後はレナーズのマラサダもついていました。美味しかったです。
シュノーケリングでは、ウミガメを何匹か見ることができました。
透明度は砂があるので、ものすごく良い訳ではないですが、シュノーケリングで見るには十分でした。
担当してくれた方も親切で、良かったです！

I was able to see manta rays safely!
Two large manta rays came right under the light, and I was so excited!
Their swirling movements were very beautiful.
I was surprised when the underside of the manta touched my hand; it felt rough.

Thank you, guide Masami.
I’m very satisfied to have seen the manta rays. It became a great memory!

(I took motion sickness medication, so I was fine on the boat.
The return boat can get chilly, so having a thicker bath towel is reassuring.)

無事にマンタに会えました！
2枚の大きなマンタが光りの真下に来てくれて、
ドキドキ大興奮‼️
クルクルと泳ぐ姿が、とてもキレイでした。
マンタのお腹部分が、私の手に触れてビックリしました。ザラっとしてました。

ガイドのマサミさん、ありがとうございました。
マンタに会えて大満足です。良い思い出になりました！

(酔い止めを飲んだので船酔大丈夫でした。
帰りのボートは冷えるので、厚めのバスタオルが
あると安心です)

I had a great time spending it with the fun crew and captain. My partner is not fond of cheese, and when we requested a cheeseless hamburger, they kindly prepared it separately, which we really appreciated. I would love to participate again. We were lucky to see dolphins, turtles, and even whales!

クルーやキャプテン楽しい皆さんと一緒に
過ごせ楽しかったです。
パートナーがチーズ苦手でハンバーガーチーズ抜きを依頼していたら、ちゃーんと個別にしてくまさったり、そんな配慮も嬉しかったです。
また、参加したいです。
イルカに亀にクジラに運よく見れました〜

For my wife, who has difficulty walking, navigating uneven terrain is challenging, and even short distances can take time for able-bodied individuals. Therefore, instead of sightseeing by car, we chose the helicopter experience for the first time. Although it was disappointing that there was no lava flow, I was moved by the size of the crater when viewed from above. We also saw whales, and I am grateful to the pilot who helped us find them. I had requested a pilot who could speak Japanese, but since there were no other Japanese participants, it couldn't be helped. I was worried the day before due to strong winds that could have taken the steering wheel from me, but the ride was smooth and comfortable. My wife was also in high spirits. It was great to make effective use of our time.

足が不自由な家内にとっては、凸凹したところを歩いたりするのは困難で、健常者にとっては短い距離移動でも時間がかかったりするので、車での観光ではなく、初体験のヘリを選択しました。溶岩が流れていなかったのは残念でしたが、火口を上空から見ることが出来、その大きさに感動しました。また、鯨も見ることが出来ました。捜して下さったパイロットに感謝。日本語の出来るパイロットをリクエストしていましたが、他に日本人参加者がいなかったので仕方ありません。前日の午後は車のハンドルが取られる程の強風だったので心配しましたが揺れもなく快適。家内もハイテンションでした。時間が有効に使え良かったです。

After arriving at the sandbar, we had some time to explore the ocean, but the weather suddenly turned bad, and we got caught in a downpour, which was freezing and terrible. I wish there had been a suggestion to wait since the weather seemed like it was going to get worse.

However, the subsequent sea turtle watching, snorkeling, and stand-up paddleboarding experience were really great, and I was satisfied.

There was a time at the beginning for various explanations, but the Japanese instructor spoke very quickly. When I was struggling with putting on the wetsuit, there were comments like, "You're not listening at all!" which was a bit unpleasant. I recommend wearing a wetsuit.

サンドバーに到着した後、海を散策する時間があるのですが急に天気が悪くなってスコールにあい、体が凍えて最悪でした。
せめて、天候悪くなりそうなので待ちましょうと声掛けが欲しかったです。
その後のウミガメウォッチングとシュノーケリング、サップ体験はすごく良かったですし満足でした。

最初にいろいろと説明される時間がありますが、日本人インストラクターの方が早口で、ウェットスーツの着方に戸惑っていると「人な話全然聞いてない！」等の発言があり少し不快でした。
ウェットスーツを着用されることをお勧めします。

We participated as a family of three. I was worried about getting seasick, but I took some motion sickness medication before heading out. The captain and the crew were so cheerful, it really felt like a party on the boat! The pleasant breeze and splashes of waves lifted my spirits, and before I knew it, I had forgotten all about my seasickness. The sunset was also incredibly beautiful! We saw manta rays swim by about five times, and they even showed us their turns, which was truly moving! I absolutely recommend this tour! On the way back, the wind can be chilly on your wet body, so it's a good idea to bring something to wear.

家族３人で参加しました。船酔いが不安でしたが、酔い止めを飲んで出かけたのですが、キャプテン、クルーの皆さんがとても陽気で、まさに船上のパーティといった感じ！テンションが上がる程の心地良い風と波しぶきがとっておきの気分にさせてくれて、いつの間にか船酔いも忘れていました。サンセットもまた最高に綺麗でした！マンタも5回程目の前を通ってくれて、ターンまで見せてくれて最高に感動しました‼︎このツアーは絶対におすすめです！帰りは濡れた身体に風が冷たいので、羽織る物を持って行った方がいいですよ。

Every aspect of the snorkel, Sandbar, volleyball, crew was amazing. Highly recommend.

Unfortunately, the weather was a bit chilly, but the crew was very cheerful and entertaining. I felt that I should have paid more attention to the fact that in February, you don't really get the feeling of the tide coming in and out unless it's early in the morning. However, it was a tour with delicious food, malasadas, and a lot of enjoyment for Japanese participants!

天気が残念ながら少し寒空でしたが、クルーの方々がとても陽気で楽しませてくれました。
2月は午前の早い時間でないと満ち引きで浅瀬に上がる感じがしないことだけ、ちゃんと見ておけば良かったと感じましたが、美味しいご飯とマラサダと日本人がとても楽しめるツアーでした！

While I was on the boat, the wind was quite cold, but once we reached the sandbar, I was so captivated by the scenery that I forgot about the cold! The water was incredibly clear and beautiful, truly like paradise! It was a famous spot featured on TV and in magazines, so I wanted to experience it at least once, which is why I joined this tour! The guide's stories were really interesting and they were very kind, making the time on the boat a lot of fun! When we arrived at the sandbar, I asked for some photos, and they happily took many for me, even teaching me various poses, which made for wonderful memories! After that, we went turtle watching, and they pointed out where the sea turtles were. I was so moved to see wild sea turtles for the first time. Seeing so many floating turtles was incredibly cute! Afterward, we were served a hamburger lunch, and having lunch on the boat while looking at the sea was the best! It was super delicious!!! I also got to see a lot of fish up close while snorkeling, which felt amazing! It was absolutely fantastic! The weather was a bit chilly, so when I got back on the boat from the sea, it was very cold, but they provided warm drinks, which helped a lot. We got to visit the sandbar, see sea turtles, have lunch on the boat, and snorkel, and the staff were all friendly and kind, making it truly an exceptional tour! I was really happy to have so many experiences on my first trip to Hawaii! I definitely want to join this tour again in the summer or when it's warm! Experiencing the kindness of the people in Hawaii and the beauty of the sea was amazing! It became the best memory of my trip to Hawaii! If I have friends going to Hawaii, I would definitely want to recommend this tour! I was really happy to participate in such a wonderful tour! Thank you very much! I definitely want to join again!!

船に乗っている時は、風が冷たくて結構寒かったのですが、サンドバーについたら、寒さも忘れるくらい景色に見入ってしまいました！水がすごく透き通っていて、とても綺麗で本当に天国みたいでした！テレビや雑誌などで有名な場所だったので一度は行ってみたくてこのツアーに参加させていただきました！ツアーの方のお話もすごく面白くて、とても優しくて、船に乗っている間もすごく楽しかったです！サンドバーについたときには、お願いをしたら、快く写真をたくさん撮ってくれて、ポーズまで色々教えてくれて、とても素敵な記念になりました！そのあと、ウミガメウォッチングも、ウミガメがいる方向を教えてくれました。はじめて野生のウミガメを見ることが出来てすごく感動しました。プカプカ浮いてるウミガメをたくさん見れてめちゃくちゃ可愛かったです。そのあとは、ハンバーガーのランチを出していただき、海を眺めながら船乗って食べるランチは最高でした！めちゃくちゃ美味しかったです！！！シュノーケルも沢山近くで魚が見れてすごく気持ち良かったです！めちゃくちゃ最高すぎました！気候的にも少し寒かったので、海から船に上がった時はとても寒かったのですが、あったかいドリンクを出してくれて、すごくあったまりました。サンドバーにも行けて、ウミガメも見れて、船の上でランチも食べれて、シュノーケルもできて、スタッフさん達もみんなノリが良くて優しくて本当に至れり尽くせりの最高のツアーでした！はじめてのハワイで、ここまで沢山の体験ができたことは本当に幸せでした！また、是非このツアーで、夏とかあったかいときにまた参加したいなと思いました！！ハワイの方々の優しさと、海の綺麗さに触れられて、最高でした！ハワイ旅行の中でも一番の最高の思い出になりました！周りにハワイに行く友人がいたら、是非紹介したいなと思います！本当に、素敵なツアーに参加できてすごく嬉しかったです！ありがとうございました！また是非参加したいと思います！！

I participated with my husband, two friends, a friend's wife, and their parents, making a total of seven people. The tide was about knee-deep. The captain's wife, who was three months pregnant, was very hospitable! The parents were a bit hesitant about going into the water, so after the BBQ, they asked if we wanted to go for a drive and took us on a small boat to a spot with a heart-shaped coral! This was my third time, and I definitely want to go again!

主人とお友達2人とお友達の奥様とご両親
7人で参加しました。
潮位は膝下位でしたね。
キャプテンの奥様　3人目で大きなお腹でとっても良くおもてなししてくれました！ご両親は海に入るのが少し苦手でBBQの後船に居ると　ドライブどう？
と言って小型船に乗せてくれてサンゴのハートマークが有る所まで連れて行ってくれました！
今回3回めでしたがまた行きたいな！

I was worried about the rain when I heard it was the rainy season, but it turned out to be a great experience! There were many participants, and we went with two boats—one was just for Japanese people, and the other had participants from various countries (including Japanese), so even those who are not confident in English can enjoy it. We saw a lot of sea turtles, and the hamburgers were very delicious and amazing!

雨期ときいて雨が心配でしたが、それ以上にいい体験ができたツアーでした！参加者が多く、船2隻でいきましたがひとつは日本人だけ、もう一つは国際的にさまざな国から(日本人もok)の参加者の船でしたので英語が不安な方も楽しめます。ウミガメもたくさんみれましたし、ハンバーガーもとても美味しくて最高でした！

I was a bit concerned that activities might be too challenging for someone in their 60s, but I got to see sea turtles and even tried paddle surfing. Floating with a ring was the best! Justin was great at getting everyone excited, and the crew was very kind. I would recommend this to my friends in their 60s.

60代のアクティビティーには厳しいかなと思っての参加でしたが、
ウミガメもみたし、パドルサーフィンにも挑戦。浮き輪でぷかぷかも最高でした。ジャスティン、盛り上げ上手で楽しさ爆発！クルーの方もとても親切でした。60代の友人に勧めめす。

In early March, I went to Hawaii for my honeymoon and participated in this optional tour. I was picked up at the hotel lobby around 9:30 and took about an hour bus ride to the port. I mostly slept during the ride, but it was enjoyable just to look at the scenery of Hawaii's nature and residential areas.

When we arrived at the port, we switched to a cruiser and set off for the sandbar! The weather was cloudy and rainy that day, and it was quite cold, reminiscent of winter in Hawaii. At the sandbar, we took photos, enjoyed beach volleyball, and spent our time freely. While we were having fun at the sandbar, the guide prepared BBQ hamburgers for us, and there were also pineapple sides, which made us very satisfied.

After that, we moved to a point where we could see sea turtles and went snorkeling! Since it was in a place where you couldn't touch the bottom, it might be scary for those who aren't used to it. (Of course, there were life jackets, and the guide was keeping a close watch!) On that day, some people were able to see sea turtles up close, so if you're lucky, you might see them too!

Unfortunately, the weather wasn't great for photos, but the guides were all wonderful, and overall, I was satisfied! I hope for better weather next time I go!

三月頭に新婚旅行でハワイに行き、オプショナルツアーとして本ツアーに参加しました。
9:30頃宿泊ホテルロビーにてピックアップされ、約一時間程度バスに乗って港へ向かいます。道中はほぼ寝ていましたが、ハワイの自然や住宅街の景色を眺めるだけでも楽しかったです♡
港に着くと、クルーザーに乗り換えサンドバーへいざ出発！
当日は曇ったり雨が降ったり…ハワイの冬並みの気温ということもありかなり寒かったです。。
サンドバーでは、写真を撮ったりビーチバレーをみんなで楽しんだり各々自由に過ごしました。サンドバーで楽しんでいる間にガイドさんがBBQハンバーガーを作ってくださり、パイナップルの付け合わせもあったりして大満足でした♡
それからウミガメが見れるポイントに異動し、シュノーケリング！！
足が着かないところでするため、慣れてない人は怖いかも。。（もちろんライフジャケット有でガイドさんが目を光らせてくれています！！）
当日は、ウミガメを間近で見られた方もいらっしゃり、運が良ければ見れるかも！？
天気が生憎だったため、写真映えはしませんでしたが、ガイドさんの方も良い方ばかりで、トータルとしては満足です！！
次回行くときは天気に恵まれることを期待します！！

Dan was our instructor. Awesome!! Cyndi was a first-timer; in fact, can not swim. Dan taught her how to be comfortable in the water, took her hand, guided her around the Bay. She loved it, sparked us on to additional snorkel trips on this vacation. Would HIGHLY RECOMMEND this excursion for all qualities of snorkelers.

Excellent experience, suitable for the first time snorkeling people.
Foods are staffs are amicable and knowledgeable.

The scenery was amazing, and I had the rare experience of seeing sea turtles and pufferfish up close. The staff were very friendly, and the food was delicious. I plan to participate again.

景色は最高だし、ウミガメやハリセンボンが間近で見られて、貴重な体験が出来ました。スタッフの方々の感じも良くて、ご飯もとても美味しかったです。また参加しようと思います。

We had an amazing time! Great all around experience and the crew was professional and very informative as well as tremendously fun to be around. Do not hesitate to jump aboard.

This was my second tour. There weren't too many people, and everything went smoothly, making it fulfilling. It was a memorable graduation trip for the five of us. I had a great time.

今回2回目のツアーでした。
人数もそれほど大勢の人ではなく、トラブルもなく充実していました。
5人の思い出に残る卒業旅行でした。
楽しかったです。

I participated on March 1st, but unfortunately, the weather was not favorable, and it was so cold that I got goosebumps even while wearing a wetsuit. I was able to see dolphins, and they even jumped near the boat. The staff were very enthusiastic, and the taro burger was delicious. The scenery was also great.

3月１日に参加しましたが、あいにく天気には恵まれず、ウエットスーツを着ても鳥肌が立つくらい寒かったです。イルカは見れ船の近くでジャンプもしてくれました。スタッフの皆さんも盛り上げてくれ、タロイモのバーガーも美味しかったです。景色もよかったです。

It was the best cruising and snorkeling experience!
The Japanese guidance and explanations made me feel at ease.
The weather was clear,
and during the round trip cruising, we were able to see whales several times,
and snorkeling in the beautiful sea was also fantastic.

最高のクルージングとシュノーケリングでした！
日本語の案内と説明があり安心でした。
天気は快晴、
行き帰りのクルージングでは鯨も何回か見ることができましたし、
美しい海でのシュノーケリングも最高でした。

This tour was amazing.
I participated with a friend and had my first experience with an underwater scooter.
The sea was so clear that I could see the sand from the boat, and I could also see fish swimming.

I wasn't quite sure how to operate the scooter during the sea floor walk, but the instructor was pushing down on the handlebars, so it was fine to keep my hands inside the helmet.

I imagined there would be a variety of colorful fish swimming around, but only the same fish kept coming close, so I look forward to next time.

It felt warm inside the helmet, but the water was cold.
When we were signaled to dive deeper, my ears popped!
There was a signal to pinch my nose through the helmet.
I recommend pinching your nose and exhaling right away. I ended up with ear pain later, so I wish I had done it more frequently.

Those who wanted to could borrow a wetsuit for free, but it was damp and cold.

After the underwater scooter experience, we had free time.
There were snorkels, goggles, fins, and life jackets available for us to use freely.

I thought we would experience snorkeling in shallow water, so it took some courage to enter the deep sea from the boat for my first snorkeling and fin experience, but since I was wearing a life jacket, I wouldn't sink, so I boldly jumped in.

Snorkeling was fun!
With the fins, I could move quickly and discovered three sea turtles on the sea floor.
When we drifted away from the boat, we were gestured to head towards the shore.
I wish I had brought an underwater camera; it was a shame I couldn't take pictures of the sea turtles.

Since there were many people, the snorkeling time was long.
Just floating in the water was enjoyable.
It was really cold on the boat, so having a larger towel or something to wear would be good.
We were free to eat chips and drink water.

They took photos and videos of us with the underwater scooter, and they showed us the photos on the boat.
Maybe because we were buying together, they gave us a discount on the video as well.

Payment is made on the boat.
When we got off, there was a guy with a tip box.

The photos will be sent via email (link) after 5 PM on the day of the tour, but I could only see some of the photos from my phone.
The videos can only be viewed from a computer.
The download deadline is two weeks.

このツアー最高でした。

I never thought I would enter the ocean since I can't swim, but I participated somewhat reluctantly with my friends. The person who picked us up only spoke English, but they were very nice. When we arrived, about 12 other people were already waiting. There was also a fourth-generation Japanese person who spoke Japanese, which was reassuring.

The bench in the morning shade was cold, and it was chilly in light clothing. The boat with the underwater scooters departed first, and then the participants boarded another boat to set off. There was a Japanese explanation of the underwater movements on the boat, which made me feel at ease. There was also an English explanation, but I couldn't understand it at all.

While waiting, we were free to eat snacks, but the bread next to us was fish food, so we couldn't eat that. My friend unknowingly ate some and said it was delicious.

Finally, it was my turn, and as I descended the ladder, I was scared and had a hard time getting into the water. I was called a chicken, but I managed to get in. I straddled the underwater bike, and the instructor operated the handlebars. When I threw the bait, the fish came close, which was fun. While taking photos, the instructor made a ring of air to entertain us.

Getting back on the boat was scary because I had to dive into the water, but the instructor supported me, and I was able to get back up safely. It was a once-in-a-lifetime memory.

泳げない私が海の中に入るなんてありえないと思っていましたが、

一生に一度の思い出です。

I was looking forward to seeing a lot of fish while moving around underwater on a scooter.

Descending the ladder from the boat and entering the sea was thrilling, and I went in wearing a helmet that looked like something from outer space. At first, I couldn't get in properly, but the instructor supported me, so I managed to get in on my second try.

Inside the helmet, I could breathe easily and even took videos with my handheld camera. When I looked around, I was a bit disappointed because there were no fish at first, but after a while, while holding the handle and moving with the instructor, I was instructed to shake something in the net, and then, fish appeared!

A lot of horse mackerel came around. Some unfamiliar fish also approached, and I was able to touch them directly. The sea was clear, and it felt like my feet were almost touching the sand. Searching for sea turtles was also fun.

海の中を水中スクーターで移動しながらお魚沢山みれると思い
楽しみにしていました。
船からラダーを降りて海の中に入るのもドキドキで、
宇宙のヘルメットみたいなのに潜って入ります。
最初うまく入れなかったのですが、インストラクターが

海は透明度があり、砂に足がつきそうでつかないです。
ウミガメ捜索も楽しかったです。

The day I participated in the tour, the weather was great, and I was very satisfied to encounter whales, turtles, and many dolphins. However, I thought I was lucky since there were some acquaintances I didn't get to meet. (According to the guide, the encounter rate with dolphins is 95%.)

ツアーに参加した日はお天気も良くて、クジラやカメやたくさんのイルカに出会うことができ大満足でした。
ただ、知り合いで出会えなかった方もいたので運がよかったのかなと思いました。(ガイドの方のお話だと、イルカとの遭遇率は95%とのことです。)

I experienced a underwater scooter, stand-up paddleboarding, and snorkeling.

While I was stand-up paddleboarding and snorkeling, it was a bit windy, which made it feel colder. I could see corals, but there were hardly any fish.

The underwater scooter was really great! Fish came close, but unfortunately, they didn't have that tropical fish vibe and looked more like a school of mackerel (laughs).

I took photos with my smartphone and videos with an underwater camera, but there was an additional charge. Moreover, even though I paid, the photos taken with my smartphone were not sent to me.

水中スクーターとスタンドアップパドル、シュノーケル体験しました。

スタンドアップパドルとシュノーケルを体験中は若干風が強かったので体感温度が下がり寒かったです。
サンゴは見れますが魚は殆どいませんでした。

水中スクーターはとっても良かったです！魚が寄ってきましたが残念な事に熱帯魚感がなくサンマの群のようでした（笑）

スマホで写真、水中カメラで動画を撮っていただきましたが別料金がかかります。
しかもお金を払ったのにスマホで撮った写真は送られて来ませんでした。

The guide was cheerful and it was a lot of fun. At the famous bakery, we enjoyed malasadas, and for lunch on the boat, we had a buffet-style BBQ with beef and chicken. At the sandbar, we started snorkeling and enjoyed various activities like stand-up paddleboarding and kayaking!

ガイドさんも明るく、楽しかったです。
有名なベーカリーのマラサダや、船上でのBBQランチでは、ビュッフェスタイルでビーフやチキンを食べることができました。
サンドバーでも、シュノーケリングを始め、SUPやカヤックなど、様々なアクティビティを楽しめました！

It seems to be a very popular tour, and a large bus arrived at the pickup location. We reached the port in about an hour. There were boats for Japanese guests only and for foreign guests as well.

On the boat, the cheerful and lively staff provided thorough explanations, and we enjoyed a fun atmosphere throughout the trip. We participated in the sandbar experience during low tide, and the water was about knee-deep. Although there were quite a few clouds and a brief rain shower, it gradually cleared up, and the color of the sea became even more beautiful and breathtaking.

At the sandbar, there was equipment for beach volleyball, but since a group of guys took the ball to play, no one was actually playing beach volleyball.

We headed back on the boat towards the sea turtle habitat. A female staff member pointed out the direction where sea turtles appeared, and we desperately searched in that direction. We were fortunate to see several turtles as they surfaced. There were also reports of manta rays, but unfortunately, we missed them!

At the coral reef, we went snorkeling. We received bread to feed the fish, and when we entered the water, many beautiful fish came close, which was a lot of fun. It was a bit murky due to the rain, but I was extremely excited when a large sea turtle swam right in front of me. Although we had plenty of time, some people returned to the boat early because it was cold. I wore a long-sleeve rash guard and leggings, so I was a bit better off. It gets even colder when you get back on the boat, so I think having a warm cover-up would be a good idea. The service of warm drinks was appreciated.

The hamburgers for lunch were grilled on the boat and were very delicious.

大変人気なツアーらしくピックアップ場所には大型バスが到着。
1時間程度で港に到着しました。
船は日本人オンリーのと外国人の方のとがありました。

船の中では、元気で明るいスタッフの方が丁寧に説明してくださり、終始楽しい雰囲気で過ごせました。
サンドバーはできるだけ干潮時を選んで参加しましたがちょうどひざぐらいの深さでした。
ちょっと雲が多くてさーーっとにわか雨が降ったりもしましたが、次第に晴れてくると一段と海の色がきれいで感動的でした。
サンドバーではビーチバレーの用意もありましたが、男子グループがボールを持っていって遊んでいたのでビーチバレーをやってる人はいませんでした。

再び船でウミガメの生息地に向かいます。
スタッフの女性が船の上からウミガメが現れた方角を教えてくれるので、その方向を必死に探します。
結構たくさん出没してくれたので何匹か見ることができました。
マンタも見えたらしいのですが、残念ながら見逃しました！

サンゴ礁のところではシュノーケリングをやりました。
えさにするパンをもらって海に入るとたくさんのきれいな魚が寄ってきて楽しかったです。
雨が降ったので少し濁り気味だったのですが、目の前を大きなウミガメが横切った時は大興奮しました。
時間はたっぷりあったのですが、寒くて早めに船に戻る人も。
私はラッシュガードの長袖とトレンカを履いていったので少しはましだったかも。
船に上がるともっと寒いので暖かいはおりものなどあるといいと思います。
暖かい飲み物のサービスはありがたかったです。

ランチのハンバーガーは船の上で焼いてくれるものでとてもおいしかったです。

The ocean was incredibly beautiful and amazing. I was surprised to be able to swim so close to sea turtles!!

But be careful! The waters in Hawaii in February are still quite cold! You'll be shivering on the boat, so it's a good idea to bring a change of clothes and something like a Gore-Tex windbreaker.

海がとにかくキレイでサイコーでした。
ウミガメとこんなに近くで泳げるなんてビックリ!!

でも気を付けて！2月のハワイの海はまだまだつめたい！船の上では寒さに震えるので、着替えと風よけのゴアテックス的なモノを持って行くと良いよ。

It was my first time in Hawaii, and we were blessed with beautiful weather. We started with an optional tour on a boat, where we went snorkeling at a sandbar. The water was crystal clear, allowing us to swim with fish and observe coral.

After snorkeling, we experienced stand-up paddleboarding (SUP). At first, it was challenging to maintain balance, but thanks to our guide's instructions, I was able to ride confidently.

For the final activity, we switched to a different boat for the underwater scooter. While exploring underwater, I was lucky enough to encounter a sea turtle. We attracted fish with bait for some great photos, and at the end, we were able to purchase the photos for $40.

初めてのハワイでしたが天候にも恵まれ、とても快晴でのオプショナルツアーで、初めに船に乗りサンドバーの浅瀬でのシュノーケリングをしました。
海が透き通っていて魚と一緒に泳いだりサンゴを観察することができます。
シュノーケリングの後はSUP体験で、初めはバランスを取るのが大変ですがガイドさんのご指導のおかげでしっかり乗る事ができました。
最後の水中スクーターは違う船に乗り換えました。水中スクーターで海の中に入り進んでいる途中運が良くウミガメをお目にかかる事ができました。魚の餌で魚たちをおびき寄せ写真をたくさん撮っていただき、最後に40ドルで頂くことができました。

This was a fun way to spend my birthday. The captain and crew were super relaxed and funny, and the small size of the boat allowed for a sense of camaraderie and fun, as we zoomed through the water at high speeds (make sure to hold on!). Loved this intimate experience rather than some big show boat with a ton of people onboard.
