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>

Enjoy the nature of Hawaii Island from the sky! ハワイ島の自然を空から満喫!

Reviewed by: ビギナーズラック

The flight departed at 7:00 AM, allowing us to see the sunrise. I was seated next to American passengers, but our Japanese pilot, Toshi, passionately spoke about the nature of the Big Island in both English and Japanese. Since it was the day after we arrived on the island and I didn't know much about it yet, it was great to see the overall landscape from the air! Toshi not only had a lighthearted way of speaking but was also an excellent pilot, making the flight very stable, so I could enjoy the scenery without feeling nauseous. We saw valleys and waterfalls that can only be accessed by helicopter, making it a very satisfying flight! The price is high, but I believe it was worth it! Thank you very much, Toshi!

7:00からのフライトで朝日を見ながらの出発でした。アメリカ人のお客さんと同席の機内でしたが、日本人パイロットのトシさんが英語と日本語を使い分けながらハワイ島の自然について熱く語ってくれました。ハワイ島に着いた翌日でまだ島のことをよくわかっていない状況だったので空から全貌を見ることができてとてもよかったです!トシさんは軽妙なトークはもちろん操縦も上手くて機内はとても安定していて酔うこともなく安心して景色を楽しむことができました!ヘリコプターでしか入っていくことのできない渓谷や滝の風景もあり、大満足のフライトでした!値段は高いですが、その価値は十分にあったと思います!トシさんどうもありがとうございました!

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>

Amazing! I highly recommend it. 最高!おススメです。

Reviewed by: エムタン

I participated in this highly-rated snorkeling tour at Hanauma Bay, among several options available. I had some previous snorkeling experience, but I wanted to join a properly guided tour. Early in the morning, our guide Dan picked us up from the hotel and we headed to Hanauma Bay.

Initially, I wasn't planning to rent a wetsuit, but after receiving explanations about injury prevention and increased buoyancy, I decided to rent one. It was my first time wearing a wetsuit, and I highly recommend it! Hanauma Bay has deep areas, but we also swam in shallow rocky spots. If I hadn't worn the wetsuit, my legs might have been covered in cuts… (*^^*)

Guides Dan and Chieko took us to a spot with plenty of fish. I don't think we would have encountered so many fish on our own. Before I knew it, we had been swimming for nearly an hour, which was surprising! I think I'm going to become hooked on snorkeling.

Thank you, Dan and Chieko! I would love to join again!

ハナウマ湾シュノーケリングツアーはいくつかありましたが、高評価のこのツアーに参加しました。以前、ちょっとしたシュノーケルは体験済みでしたが、きちんとガイド付きのツアーに参加したくて…。早朝、ガイドのダンさんがホテルまでピックアップにきてくれて、ハナウマ湾まで向かいます。
ウェットスーツは当初レンタルする予定ではありませんでしたが、ケガ防止や浮きやすくなるなどの説明を受けてレンタルすることにしました。初めてウェットスーツを着用しましたが、これはおススメです!ハナウマ湾は深いところもありますが、岩場の浅瀬で岩ギリギリのところも泳ぎます。もし、ウェットスーツを着用してなかったら、足が傷だらけになっていたかも…(*^^*)
ガイドのダンさんとチエコさんがお魚がたくさんいるところまで連れて行ってくれます。自分たちだけのシュノーケルだとこんなにたくさんのお魚には出会えていなかったと思います。気が付いたら、1時間近く泳いでいて、びっくり!!シュノーケリングのとりこになりそうです。
ダンさん、チエコさん、ありがとうございました! また、参加したいです!!

Thank you, Mr. M-Tan, for joining the Blue Hawaii Divers tour with your partner. The wetsuits not only provide insulation but also protect your body from scrapes and increase buoyancy, allowing you to swim more safely. Hanauma Bay has plenty of fish in the shallow rocky areas, so we will focus on swimming around the rocks during the tour. Therefore, wearing a wetsuit is recommended even in summer to prevent injuries. I'm really glad you enjoyed snorkeling. Please consider repeating the tour when you come back to Hawaii! Thank you very much. Mahalo!!

エムタン様、この度はブルーハワイダイバースのツアーにお二人でお越しいただき、ありがとうございます。
ウェットスーツは保温だけではなく、体をすり傷などから守ったり、浮力が増すことでより安心して泳いで頂けるんです。
ハナウマ湾は浅瀬の岩場の所にお魚達がいっぱいいるので、ツアーでは岩場を中心に泳いで行きます。ですからケガ防止のためには夏でもウェットスーツはオススメなんですよ。シュノーケリングを楽しんでいただけて、本当に良かったです。またハワイにお越しの際にはツアーにリピートしてくださいね!
本当にありがとうございました。Mahalo!!

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>

It was my first time snorkeling. I made great memories during summer vacation. 初めてのシュノーケリング。夏休みの良い思い出ができました。

Reviewed by: 2525

I participated with my first-grade daughter and my family of three. Since it was my daughter's first time snorkeling, I was a bit anxious, but I felt reassured seeing a wide range of ages participating, from young to old.

We practiced snorkeling at a shallow sandbar, and during the actual event, the location was deep enough to make even the parents anxious. However, we were not rushed and were able to enjoy snorkeling at our own pace. It seems that my daughter's first snorkeling experience became a fun memory, as she wrote about it in her summer vacation diary.

On the boat, Yukiko provided humorous explanations in Japanese, which made it enjoyable. Thank you for taking so many great photos at the sandbar!

P.S. The suspicious-looking old man who came to greet the bus at the dock seemed to be in charge of singing and narration? His deep voice added to the atmosphere of the tour. All the other staff were also kind, which was great.

小学1年の娘と家族3人で参加しました。娘がシュノーケリングは初めてだったので不安でしたが、老若男女の幅広い世代が参加していて安心しました。

浅いサンドバーで、シュノーケリングの練習をして、本番では親も不安になる程深い場所でしたが、急かされることもなく、自分たちのペースでシュノーケリングを楽しめました。娘も初めてのシュノーケリングが楽しい思い出になったようで、夏休みの宿題の絵日記に書いていました。

ボート内ではゆきこさんが日本語でユーモアたっぷりの説明をしてくれて楽しかったです。またサンドバーでも映える写真をたくさん撮ってくださりありがとうございました!

P.S. 船着場でバスを出迎えに来る怪しげな風貌の老人は、歌・ナレーション要因? 渋い声でツアーの雰囲気を盛り上げます。他のスタッフも皆親切で良かったです。

Absolutely the best experience!!! Meeting dolphins in the ocean has been my dream for a long time, and it finally came true!! The coordinator and staff during the experience were very kind, and thanks to the local staff who supported me even though I can't swim, I was able to enjoy the experience without any fear. I got to see dolphins, sea turtles, and many fish up close☆ Not only did I have fun, but I also learned about the current pollution situation in the ocean and how it affects marine life. I am filled with gratitude! Thank you so much☆

It was my first time snorkeling, and I was able to enjoy it with peace of mind thanks to the Japanese guide!
You can leave your belongings locked up on the beach, so it's safe. (That said, it's better to avoid bringing large sums of money or anything that would be a problem if stolen...)
You can also take photos with a GoPro.
We had a lot of blurry pictures, so that was a bit disappointing...

荷物も鍵をかけて、ビーチに置くので、安心です。(とはいえ大金とか、盗難でこまるものはやめた方が良いですが…)

Dear Takemoto, thank you for joining our tour. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed your first snorkeling experience.

Underwater photography is indeed challenging. Both the fish and people are moving, and the colors change depending on the position of the sun. Even with daily practice, underwater photography is truly deep and difficult.

We hope you will join us again on another tour when you come back to Hawaii. We are always here to welcome you.

Thank you very much. Mahalo!!

takemoto様、この度はツアーにお越しいただき、ありがとうございます。初めてのシュノーケリングを楽しんでいただけた様で、私たちも嬉しく思います。
水中写真は難しいですね。お魚も人物も動きますし、太陽の位置によって色の出方も変わります。毎日撮っていても本当に水中写真は奥が深く難しいです。
またハワイにお越しの際にはツアーにリピートで来ていただけたらと思っております。いつでもお待ちしております。

The children were very satisfied. 子どもも大満足でした

Reviewed by: かじかじ

This was my second time participating. Although only English is spoken, they responded politely even with my broken language, which made me feel at ease. My 6-year-old and 8-year-old had a blast sliding down the slide on the boat and jumping off the diving board. The hamburger lunch, with burgers grilled on the boat, was also fantastic. I will definitely participate again when I go to Hawaii Island.

今回は2回目の参加でした。英語しか通じないですが、片言でも丁寧に対応してくれて、安心して参加できます。6歳と8歳の子どもも船の滑り台から滑ったり、飛び込み台からジャンプしたりと大はしゃぎでした。船上で焼いてくれるハンバーガーをはさんでのハンバーガーの昼食も最高です。またハワイ島に行く時は参加します。

5-in-1 Waikiki Fun Cruise with Snorkeling, Water Slide, Trampoline, Kayak & SUP - E Sea Diver

Outstanding experience!

Reviewed by: Audrey

We had a blast with the tour on the Waikiki water with two kids. The location we visited had little crowds so we can have all the ocean to ourselves! Both of my kids were the first time snorkeling. Their friendly staff made sure their live vests are secured and helped them into the water. There were a lot of beautiful fishes o look at. Did not see turtles, but that's OK since we would be visiting the Turtle beach at the north shore later. Overall, we are very satisfied with the activities and services they provide.

Such a unique and special experience, swimming with these gentle giants. We highly recommend avoiding this event if you happen to be a piece of plankton.

One of the highlights of our trip to the Big Island was jumping in the water after dark and watching these enormous, graceful creatures emerge from the blackness, do a few plankton-catching loops and then disappear back into the darkness. Can't recommend it enough!

A blissful day of snorkeling, kayak, and paddleboard at the turquoise water of the Waikiki beach!

Reviewed by: Richard

We had the great opportunity of taking this dream tour about a mile north of the Waikiki beach where the water is much more clear than the crowded Waikiki shore. We did snorkeling, kayak, paddleboard, water slide, and whole nine yards! The water is a little rough that day, but we still had so much fun! The staff were friendly and very helpful and encourage us to try different activities. Kevin, one of the staff was very helpful to get us all buckled up in lifevests, gear up for water activities. Thank you!

We participated with our 11-year-old child. The guide took the child's hand and helped with snorkeling, allowing us beginners to enjoy it as well. Since dolphin swimming can be suspended at any time due to regulations, I recommend experiencing it sooner rather than later.

11才の子どもも一緒に参加。ガイドの方が子供の手をとりシュノーケリングをしてくれたので、初心者の我々も楽しむことができました。ドルフィンスイムは法規制でいつ中止になってもおかしくないようなので、早めに体験しておくのがお薦めです。

Thanks to our guide Kana, we had a very enjoyable snorkeling tour! We were able to see many large turtles, about the size of a kotatsu, which was very satisfying. My son got seasick, but thanks to the crew's consideration, they made a covered bed on the deck for him to lie down. During snorkeling at the Molokini point, my son got a bit overwhelmed, but the fish were thrilled and swarmed around us in a tornado-like fashion. I highly recommend this tour!

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I participated with my 9-year-old child. Since I'm not good at snorkeling, I tried to lead my child to the guide, but it was really difficult and I got exhausted. In the end, during the first round, we only saw one dolphin far below, and during the second round, we didn't see anything at all. As for the sea turtles, I couldn't catch up with everyone, so we ended up not seeing a single one. This tour is not suitable for those who are not good at swimming. I would like to try again once my child becomes a better swimmer.

9歳の子連れで参加しました。シュノーケルが下手なため、子供の手を引いてガイドさんのところまで進もうとするのですが、全然無理でクタクタになりました。結局1回目は遥か下の方のイルカを一頭見ただけ、2回目は全く何も見れず。海亀についても、みんなに追いつけなかったので一匹も見れない結果に終わりました。泳ぎがが下手な方には不向きなツアーです。また子供が上手に泳げるようになったらリベンジしたいと思います。

野生のマンタ シュノーケリングツアー <英語ガイド/軽食付き>

Reviewed by: stm

You're just floating with a snorkel and holding onto a float for 45 minutes. It gets really cold, so it might be tough for those who aren't very fit or for small children. We did get to see manta rays, which was impressive, but we only saw about six in 45 minutes, and the water wasn't very clear either. Since we did see the manta rays, I'll give it three stars.

By the way, the "noodle" refers to the stick-shaped float that is given before entering the water. Haha!

This was a great experience. I do not like the water and get motion sick very easily. However, I could not visit Hawaii without giving snorkeling a try.

Since it’s nature, there are days when you might not see dolphins, but I was able to see them about three times! They were incredibly fast. Additionally, I also got to see a manta ray. My husband said he even heard the dolphins' voices.

Thank you, Nawata, Naoko, and Rei. Since I can’t swim, I was able to see the dolphins thanks to Naoko pulling me toward them. The breeze on the water felt so good. The time flew by. I also really enjoyed the stories about warriors and scary tales with Rei. By the way, Rei was quite handsome! I want to see whales too, so if I can go back to the Big Island, I would love to join this tour again.

自然相手なので日によってはイルカに会えないこともあるということでしたが、なんとか3回ほどイルカを見ることができました!すごいスピードでした。さらにマンタも見ることができました。夫はイルカの声も聞いたそうです。

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 had a great time snorkeling for the first time at Hanauma Bay! ♬ 人生初のシュノーケリングをハナウマ湾ですることができて、楽しかったです♬

Reviewed by: YUKI

From August 3rd (Saturday) to August 15th (Thursday), we came to Hawaii for the first time in three years for a family trip, planning to stay for a week on Oahu and five days on the Big Island. I had always wanted to try snorkeling at Hanauma Bay, and with my daughter now in the second grade, we decided to go ahead after referencing many experiences on Veltra.

I was concerned about the impact of the typhoon until the day before, but on the day of the tour, August 5th (Monday), it was clear and we were able to go snorkeling.

Dan came to pick us up at the Hilton Hawaiian Village where he was staying, and he shared stories about snorkeling and other topics during the ride, which made for a fun travel reference. We arrived at the Hanauma Bay parking lot around 7:40, and there were already many cars parked. After meeting up with another tour participant's car, we had a total of nine people for snorkeling. The group consisted of our three family members, two students and their parents, and a couple, making a total of nine.

Once we arrived at Hanauma Bay, Dan's wife, Chieko, carefully explained the features of Hanauma Bay, snorkeling, and the preparations, which made us feel secure about trying it. My daughter, being the youngest at second grade, made me a bit worried at first, but Chieko supported her throughout, and she became the best at snorkeling in our family, beaming with joy saying, "I had fun!"

At 8 AM, the seawater temperature was still a bit cold, and although we hadn't signed up for wetsuits, after hearing Chieko's advice, we decided to wear them. It was great that they had prepared enough for everyone and ensured safety while snorkeling.

The conditions at Hanauma Bay had some waves, so we experienced being pushed back while swimming and also moving forward with the current. At first, I was focused on getting used to the breathing technique for snorkeling and using fins for the first time, but soon I started to see fish and wanted to see them better.

My daughter held hands with Chieko and swam while relaxed, which reassured me. I enjoyed snorkeling while holding hands with my wife. At one point, Chieko spotted a turtle, and we were lucky to see it up close, about three meters away!

Even with just about an hour of snorkeling, it felt long underwater, which was a new sensation for me. Everyone who participated in the tour seemed to have a great time, and it became a wonderful memory from this trip.

Thank you so much, Dan and Chieko. I would love to participate again when we come back to Oahu! (●^o^●)

8月3日(土)~8月15日(木)まで、家族旅行で、オアフ島に1週間とハワイ島に5日間の宿泊予定でハワイに3年ぶりにやってきました。ハナウマ湾で、シュノーケリングをいつかはしてみたいと思っていたので、娘が小学2年生になったのを機に、ベルトラさんで多くの体験談を参考にさせていただき決めていきました。
前日まで台風の影響はどうだろうかと気にかけていましたが、ツアー当日の8月5日(月)は快晴で、シュノーケリングを行うことができました。

ダンさんが滞在している、ヒルトンハワイアンビレッジまで迎えに来てくれて、車内でもシュノーケリングのことやそれ以外のお話もしてくれて、楽しく旅行の参考にもなりました。
ハナウマ湾の駐車場は7:40くらいに到着して、すでにたくさんの車が停まっていました。もう一台のツアー参加者さんの車と合流して、私たちは9名でシュノーケリングを行っていきました。ツアー参加者の構成は我が家の3人と、学生のお子様2人とご両親の4人家族の方、カップルの方達が1組で合計9人でした。

ハナウマ湾に到着してからは、ダンさんの奥様のチエコさんが、ハナウマ湾の特徴や、シュノーケリングのこと、準備を詳しく丁寧に伝えてくれたので、安心してトライしていくこともできました。小学2年生の娘が最年少で、最初はできるかなと半分心配していましたが、チエコ先生が終始サポートをしてくださり、我が家の中では一番上手にシュノーケリングができるようになり、「楽しかったよ。」と満面の笑みでした。

朝8時はまだ海水の温度が冷えている方らしく、我が家はスウェットスーツまでは申し込んでいませんでしたが、チエコ先生の話を聞いて、着用することにして参加することにしました。人数分準備してあることや、安全にシュノーケリングができることを配慮されていることも良かったです。

ハナウマ湾の状態は波が少しある方でしたので、泳いでも少し戻されていったり、反対に流れとともに進んだりするような感じで潜っていきました。最初はシュノーケリングの呼吸のしかたになれること、フィンを初めて使ったので、動かすことに夢中でしたが、そのうちお魚たちが見えてくるようになり、もっとよく見たいと思えるようになってきました♬

娘はチエコ先生と手をつなぎ、力を抜いて泳ぎながら海中を見れていたので、安心しました。私は妻と一緒に手をつないでシュノーケリングを楽しみました。途中チエコ先生がカメがいることを発見して、3メートルくらいの距離でまじかに見ることができたこともラッキーでした♪

1時間くらいのシュノーケリングの時間でも、海の中では長く感じたことも初めての感覚でした。一緒にツアーに参加されていた皆さんも楽しかったようで、今回の旅の中で、良い想い出になってくれましたよ。

ダンさん・チエコさん本当にありがとうございました。またオアフ島に来た際には、再び参加させていただきたいと思っています(●^o^●)

Dear Yuki, thank you for bringing your family to the Blue Hawaii Divers tour. Although there were some waves due to the hurricane's impact, your 7-year-old daughter did very well! I believe the waves helped bring the sea turtles closer for us to see. It was great to see them up close.

We would be thrilled if you could join us again on your next trip to Hawaii. We look forward to seeing you again.

Thank you very much. Mahalo!!

YUKI様、この度はブルーハワイダイバースのツアーにご家族様でお越しいただき、ありがとうございます。ハリケーンの影響で少し波ありではありましたが、7歳の娘さんもとても上手に出来ていましたね!この波のお陰でウミガメさんもインサイドに入ってきてくれたのだと思います。近くで見れて良かったですね。
是非またハワイにお越しの際にはリピートしていただければ嬉しいです。またお会いできるのをお待ちしております。
本当にありがとうございました。Mahalo!!

Reviewed by: Hide

A typhoon was approaching, and the dolphins were somewhat far away, so we had to travel about 45 minutes from the meeting point, which is a distance we rarely go. Thanks to that, we were able to encounter a pod of dolphins. It was very enjoyable to see the dolphins jumping and swimming right in front of us. The guides were all friendly, and the conversations on the way there and back were fun as well. Thank you very much.

台風が近づいていてイルカが多少遠くにいるとの事で、集合地点から約45分と普段では滅多に行かない距離まで移動してくださいました。
そのおかげかイルカの群れに遭遇する事ができました。イルカのジャンプや目の前を泳ぐイルカを見る事が出来て、とても楽しかったです。
ガイドの方もみなフレンドリーで行き帰りの会話も楽しかったです。ありがとうございました。

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>

We all enjoyed it as a family! 家族みなで楽しめました!

Reviewed by: あやや

I participated for the first time with my daughter in third grade, my son in second year of junior high, my 79-year-old father, my 74-year-old mother, and myself, a total of five people. I was worried about my mother, who has trouble walking, but we were able to enjoy the sandbar without any issues. My mother watched the snorkeling from the boat, but there were others who were also observing the snorkeling, and the atmosphere allowed everyone to participate freely according to their own condition, which was great.

The day before, a hurricane was approaching, and I was concerned about the weather, but during the tour until around 2:30 PM, we were able to enjoy the blue sky and the emerald green sea!

The female leader of the tour was excellent; her explanations were enjoyable, bright, and efficient, and the other staff members were very kind, making it a highly favorable tour. My son was impressed by the surprisingly delicious hamburgers.

We even encountered a sea turtle during the boat ride, and while snorkeling at the coral reef, we found a large sea turtle sleeping in a cave-like area, which made my daughter very happy.

It was also helpful that the bus departed from near the hotel. I had prepared marine shoes, but it turned out I didn't need to wear them. According to the staff, sometimes small sand can get in and actually be painful, so I think it's fine to prepare them and choose whether to wear them on-site.

It was a very enjoyable tour, and I'm glad we went.

小3の娘、中2の息子、79歳の父、74歳の母と私の5人で初参加しました。足の悪い母が心配でしたが、サンドバーは問題なく楽しめました。母はシュノーケリングは船から見ていましたが、ほかにもシュノーケリングを見学している人もいて、自分の状態で自由に参加できる雰囲気がよかったです。
前日からハリケーンが近づいていて、天気が心配でしたが、午後2時半ごろまでのツアー中は持ち、青い空、エメラルドグリーンの海を楽しめました!
女性の責任者の方のしきりがとても良く、説明も楽しく、明るく手際よく、ほかのスタッフの方々もとても親切で、好感度の高いツアーでした。
息子は、思った以上にちゃんとした美味しいハンバーガーに感動していました。
船の移動中にウミガメにも会えて、サンゴ礁でのシュノーケリングでは、洞窟のような中で眠る大きなウミガメも見つけ、娘も大喜びでした。
ホテルの近くからのバスの発車も助かりました。
マリンシューズを用意してましたが、履かなくて大丈夫でした。スタッフの方によると、小さな砂が入り込んでかえって痛いこともある、とのことでした。準備しておいて現場で履く履かないは選ぶ、でいいかと思います。
とても楽しいツアーで、行けて良かったです。

Reviewed by: GAMI

Snorkeling was amazing as I got to see dolphins and turtles! The light snacks were delicious, and I had a great time swaying on the boat while enjoying the views of the mountains and the sea. However, when I sat in the very back seat of the bus on the way there, a huge amount of water dripped down from above and I got soaked. The instructors were very cheerful and fun, which was really great!!!

イルカもカメも見れてシュノーケリングは最高でした^_^軽食も美味しくて、山や海などの景色を見ながら船に揺られてとても良い時間を過ごせました。ですが、行きのバスで1番後ろの席に座った際すごい量の水が上から垂れてきてビチョビチョになりました。インストラクターの方々はとても明るく愉快で本当に良かったです!!!

I was very moved. I am extremely satisfied! とても感動しました。大満足です!

Reviewed by: ひまわり

About 30 minutes to an hour by boat, we encountered a pod of 100 to 200 dolphins. They were jumping and spinning all around, and I was already moved before even entering the water. Once in the water, I swam a little, and there were so many dolphins swimming right in front of me; it was incredibly touching. They were so close that I felt I could almost reach out and touch them!

Since I was in a wetsuit, I felt safe entering the water as it helped me float. Some people who were not confident swimmers were worried, but in addition to the wetsuits, they provided floatation devices, and the guide pulled the floatation device for them, which made them very happy to see the dolphins up close.

Our guide, Ray, was very engaging and considerate during the trip, making it a comfortable and enjoyable experience. It would be a real shame not to participate in a dolphin tour while visiting the Big Island!

ボートで30分~1時間くらい行ったところに100~200頭のイルカの群れがいました。
あちこちでイルカがジャンプしたりスピンしたりしていて海に入る前から感動でした。
海に入ってからは少し泳ぎますが、すぐ目の前をイルカたちがたくさん泳いでいてとても感動しました。手が届きそうなほど近くでした!
ウエットスーツなので浮くため安心して海に入れました。泳ぎが苦手な方が心配していましたが、ウエットスーツに加えて浮き具も貸してもらえててガイドさんが浮き具を引っ張ってくれたようで、「近くでイルカをみられた」と喜んでいました。
ガイドのレイさんは移動中もいろいろと話をしてくれたり気遣いをしてくれてとても居心地のいい楽しい時間を過ごせました。ハワイ島にきてイルカのツアーに参加しないのはかなりもったいないです!

Hanauma Bay snorkeling was guided in Japanese, so I was able to experience it with peace of mind from departure to arrival, and the half day flew by. It was great to hear various stories about sightseeing spots during the car ride as well. Although I didn't get to see the sea turtles I was hoping for during snorkeling, the guide was always attentive to the course and the participants' conditions, ensuring we could see various fish. I would like to try again for the sea turtles.

Waikiki Turtle Snorkel & Honolulu Underwater Scooter Tour - Trident Adventures

We will be coming back!

Reviewed by: Mike

Loved going snorkeling with Trident Adventures! We ended up doing a last minute upgrade from the snorkel package to the PADI Skindiver Program and it was so worth it. The main thing the upgrade got for us was the use of one of their DPVs, which is an Diver Propulsion Vehicle. Its basically an underwater scooter that you hold on to and cruise around. It was a little awkward at first, but with some tips and pointers from the instructor I was able to get the hang of it and had so much fun cruising around the reef! Apparently these things are very expensive, so it's very unique for a dive shop to have them available to non-SCUBA divers.

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>

First experience at the sandbar. サンドバー初体験

Reviewed by: そらから

We participated as a family of four with two children in the upper grades of elementary school. The forecast was cloudy, but it was mostly sunny with calm waves. After gathering by bus from each hotel, we boarded the boat at the port, splitting into a Japanese-speaking guide's boat and an English-speaking (foreign) boat. The explanations were clear, and the guide was lively and fun. At the sandbar, they were knowledgeable about taking photos, providing advice on angles and poses, and we got to take many shots! We saw plenty of sea turtles as well. The snorkeling was a bit murky, possibly due to the tide being high, but we could still see fish. On the way back, we could ride the bus even in wet swimsuits if we had a towel, but it was cold inside the bus, so I wish I had brought dry clothes. The lunch was also quite delicious! The sandbar was beautiful, and we were very satisfied!

小学生高学年2人の子供と家族4人で参加。曇り予報でしたが、殆ど晴れで波も穏やか。各ホテルからバスで集まると、港で、日本語ガイドさんの船と、英語の船(外人)に分かれて乗船。説明もわかりやすく、ノリもよく楽しいガイドさん。サンドバーでは、写真の撮り方熟知しており、方向やポーズのアドバイスあり、何ショットもとってもらえました!海亀もこれでもかってほど見ました。シュノーケルは、潮が満ちていたせいか、やや濁りぎみでもまぁ魚は見えました。帰りは、濡れた水着でもタオルひけばバスに乗れますが、バス内が寒いので、乾いた服をもっていけばよかったかな。昼ごはんもかなり美味しかった!サンドバーきれいだったし、大満足!

Dolphins are impressive, but they require stamina. イルカには感動するも体力が必要です

Reviewed by: ささわん

We woke up at 5 AM and participated as a family of three. After about an hour's ride on the bus, we moved to the point where the dolphins are located by boat. To see the dolphins, we had to follow the instructor's directions and move back and forth from the shore to the open sea multiple times, which was suddenly tiring. It felt like a physical education class.

The sea was beautiful, and we saw many dolphins, so it was enjoyable, but my wife got seasick and was exhausted in the second half. If you're okay with boats and the sea, I think it's an activity you can enjoy thoroughly.

朝五時に起きて家族3人で参加しました。
バスで一時間ぐらい走ってから、船でイルカのいるポイントまで移動。イルカを見るにはインストラクターの指示にしたがって、岸へ沖へ、何度も移動せねばならず、いきなり疲れます。体育の授業とのこと。
海はきれいでイルカもたくさん見れたので楽しかったのですが、妻は船酔いしてしまい、後半はぐったりしてました。
船や海が平気なら十分楽しめるアクティビティだとおもいます。
