This time, we visited Hawaii for our honeymoon and wanted to experience the elusive beach "Sandbar," which only appears during low tide, so we joined Captain Bruce's Paradise of the Sea tour. We were very satisfied as we were able to experience things that we wouldn't have been able to do on our own, such as walking while taking photos in the shallow sea and enjoying snorkeling in the emerald green waters, where we saw coral reefs and sea turtles. During the time we went, some areas were deep enough to reach up to our chests, even in the shallow waters. I think it's a good idea to consider the tide and time of day if you're concerned about that.
Lunch was also delicious, with plenty of meat and vegetables. I think the portion size was satisfying. Additionally, the crew was very kind and attentive, allowing us to enjoy the activities with peace of mind. If I have the opportunity to go to Hawaii again, I would like to participate in Captain Bruce's tour once more.
今回は新婚旅行で初めてハワイを訪れ、引き潮のときだけ現れる幻のビーチ「サンドバー」にぜひいきたいと思いキャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーに参加しました。
浅瀬の海で写真を撮りながら散歩をしたり、エメラルドグリーンの海でシュノーケリングを楽しみながらサンゴ礁やウミガメを見たりと自分たちだけではなかなか体験することのできないことを経験できたのでとても満足しています。私たちが行った時間帯は、浅瀬と言っても場所によっては胸辺りまで浸かるところもありました。気にする方は潮の満ち引き、時間帯等考慮のうえ行かれるといいと思います。
お昼ご飯もお肉や野菜が盛りだくさんでおいしかったです。ボリュームもあり満足できると思います。また、クルーの方もとても親切でいろいろ心配りしてくださるので安心してアクティビティを楽しむことができました。
ハワイに行く機会があればキャプテンブルースのこのツアーにもう1度参加したいと思っています。

I participated with my 2-year-old daughter (free) and two friends. The shuttle bus had a mix of foreigners and Japanese, and the boat was exclusively for Japanese, so I felt very comfortable without any language barriers. The sea turtle came quite close, and my daughter was thrilled. At the Angel's Sea, we wore life jackets and enjoyed playing in the water together. The current was faster than I expected, so if you have small children, it might be wise to stay close to the boat.
I wasn't expecting much from the hamburgers served on the boat, but they were really delicious.
The snorkeling wasn't very clear, but there were plenty of fish, and it seemed like some people even had sea turtles come close to them, so everyone was having a great time.
There's no way I could have done this on my own, so joining the tour was definitely the right choice.
2歳の娘(無料)、友人と3人で参加しました。送迎バスは外国人、日本人の混載で船は日本人専用だったので言葉の不安がなくとても利用しやすいと思います。
ホヌはかなり近いところまで来てくれ娘もおおはしゃぎ。天使の海ではライフジャケットを着て3人で水遊び楽しみました。思ったより流れが速かったので小さい子連れなら船の近くから離れないように気を付けた方がいいかもしれません。
船の上で食べるハンバーガーは期待していなかったのですが、とっても美味しかったです。
シュノーケリングでは海の中はクリアではなく濁っていました。しかし魚がたくさんいて、ホヌも近くまで来た人もいたようでみんなとても楽しんでいました。
個人では絶対に来れないので、ツアーに参加して大正解。

I had only experienced snorkeling twice before, but I decided to join based on the words on the website saying "Japanese guides provide solid support." They first checked to see if anyone was not confident in swimming and paid attention to us, but with a large group, it was clear that even two guides couldn't provide complete support. However, they explained how the wetsuits work to reassure us and quickly handed out floatation devices, doing their best to support us. Thanks to that, I managed to swim without a floatation device on my second dive. In fact, I could swim faster without it! Fortunately, we encountered dolphins right away. Instead of swimming alongside them, we positioned ourselves ahead of their path and waited for them to swim below us, which was an amazing experience. I think we floated in the sea for nearly an hour, but it felt like no time at all while chasing the dolphins. I would love to participate again.
シュノーケリングは2回しか経験がなかったですが「日本語ガイドがしっかりサポート」というHPの言葉を信じて参加してみました。
最初に泳ぎが苦手な人の確認をして気を配ってくれますが、人数が多いとさすがにガイドさん2人では手が足りなくなるので完全サポートとまではいきません。
でも、ウエットスーツの仕組みを説明して安心させてくれたり、浮き棒をすぐに渡してくれたりできる限りのサポートをしてくれます。
おかげで2回目のダイブからは浮き棒無しでもなんとか泳げました。というか、ない方が早く泳げる!
肝心のイルカは運が良く、すぐに出会えました。
イルカの横を泳ぐ訳ではなく、イルカの進路に先回りしてイルカが下を泳ぐのを待っている感じでしたが、同じ場所を泳いでる感動がありました。
おそらく1時間近く海を漂ってたと思いますが、イルカを追っていてあっという間でした。
また参加してしたいです。

In the morning, although it was a bit early, I was able to make good use of my time enjoying snorkeling and a cruise. The staff was friendly, and the views from Diamond Head and off the coast of Waikiki were great. The weather on the day I participated was also favorable, and I even got to see a honu (sea turtle), making it the best morning activity.
午前中、少し早めだけれど時間を有効に使ってシュノーケル&クルーズが楽しめて、スタッフもフレンドリーでダイアモンドヘッドやワイキキ沖からの景色も良かったです。参加した日は天候にも恵まれて、ホヌにも会えて最高の朝活でした。

We participated as a family of three with our 6-year-old child. There was a brief light rain on the day, but it stopped quickly, so there were no issues. Our tour had five participants, and the instructor led our son, who had a great time. In fact, our son monopolized the instructor, and I felt a bit sorry for the other two participants. At the beach, we saw a lot of beautiful fish.
This was our first experience with serious snorkeling, and everyone, including the child, was very satisfied with the content. The weather was somewhat cloudy that day, so it got a bit cold towards the end. I think wearing a wetsuit would help alleviate the cold and allow for a more enjoyable snorkeling experience.
The instructor was very kind and taught us well.
I would love to participate in this tour again if the opportunity arises.
小1(6歳)の子供と一緒に家族3人で参加しました。当日は小雨が一瞬ぱらついてましたがすぐ止んで問題無しでした。我々含め5人のツアーとなりましたが、インストラクターが息子をリードしてくれて子供もとても楽しんでくれました。というか息子がインストラクターを一人占めしてしまい、他の参加者のお二人には申し訳なかったです。ビーチでは魚が沢山見れてとても綺麗でした。
本格的なシュノーケリングは初めてでしたが、子供もみんな満足できる内容でした。
当日は曇りがちな天気だったので、最後は寒くなってきました。ウェットスーツを来た方が寒さも気にならずにシュノーケリングを楽しめると思います。
インストラクターの方はとても優しく教えてくれていい方でした。

I was very anxious about participating alone, but I had a great time! I was really lucky this time, as I was able to see dolphins three times while swimming, and they came close to the boat on the way back and played with us, which was very moving! Next time, I want to go with friends.
During the photo session, the attendant announced loudly into the microphone that I was a solo participant, which made me feel a bit sad.

- Sandbar
You can clearly see the boundary between the deep blue sea and the clear light blue water. In the distance, you can see the mountains of Oahu and Kualoa Ranch. The view was amazing.
- Sea Turtles
The encounter rate with sea turtles seems to be quite high, and we were able to see them too. They came close enough that we could almost touch them (though touching is apparently not allowed).
- Activities
In addition to snorkeling, we were also able to try stand-up paddleboarding (you can challenge both as long as time permits). Even small children were snorkeling.
- Meals
You can enjoy freshly grilled barbecue on the boat. In tours like this, the quality of the food can sometimes be lacking, but the taste was very good.
- GoPro and More
They also offer GoPro rentals (for a fee). Additionally, they sell marine shoes and motion sickness bands. Since the sandbar has some rough areas, it's better to have marine shoes.
The guides were cheerful, making it a fun tour.
・サンドバー
青く濃い海と澄んだ水色の海の境界がはっきり見られます。遠くにはオアフ島の山々やクアロアランチ。最高の景色でした。
・ウミガメ
ウミガメの遭遇率は相当高いようで、私達も見ることができました。向こうから近寄ってきてほとんど触れるくらい(触るのはNGらしいです)の近さまで来てくれました。
・アクティビティ
シュノーケルの他、SAPに挑戦することもできました(時間の許す限り、両方に挑戦することもできます)。小さなお子様もシュノーケルをされていました。
・食事
船上で焼きたてのバーベキューをいただけます。この手のツアーだと食事の質はイマイチなこともありますが、味もとてもおいしかったです。
・GoProなど
GoProの貸し出しもしてくれます(有料)。その他マリンシューズや酔ドメバンドなどの販売もあります。サンドバーはザラザラした部分もあるので、マリンシューズはあったほうがいいでしょう。
ガイドの皆さんも明るくて、楽しいツアーになりました。

Last time I came to Hawaii, it was stormy at the sandbar, so this time I'm making a comeback at Hanauma. It's a calm place and close to the beach, so it's easy to take a break if you start feeling unwell. This time, one of my friends got seasick, so if you're prone to motion sickness, it might be a good idea to take some medication. Even if you don't go into the water, there are plenty of cute cats and mongooses around, which is very soothing! I definitely want to join again next time!
前回、ハワイ来た時のサンドバーでは、嵐だったので今回はハナウマでリベンジです。
穏やかな場所ですし、浜からも近いから気分が悪くなっても休憩しやすいです。今回は仲間うちで波酔いした人がいたので、乗り物酔いしやすい人は酔い止め飲まれたほうがよいかもです。
海に入らなくても、たくさんの猫やマングースがいるので、可愛くて癒されます!
次もぜひ参加したい!
Thank you, Takenoko, for joining the tour with three people this time. I'm glad you enjoyed snorkeling in a different sea from the sandbar. On the Blue Hawaii Divers tour, we swim for about an hour, so those who are prone to motion sickness may experience some seasickness. For those who are concerned, I recommend taking anti-nausea medication before leaving the hotel to enjoy the tour comfortably.
Also, the cat at Hanauma is very friendly, so for cat lovers, there’s more to enjoy besides the sea. Please do consider repeating your visit when you come back to Hawaii. We are always looking forward to seeing you again. Thank you very much. Mahalo!!
タケノコ様、この度は3名様でツアーにお越しいただき、ありがとうございます。
サンドバーとはまた違った海でシュノーケリングを楽しんでいただけて良かったです。ブルーハワイダイバースのツアーでは1時間程たっぷりと泳ぎに行きますので、乗り物酔いしやすい方は波酔いしてしまう方がいらっしゃいます。ご心配な方はホテルを出発する前に酔い止めのお薬を飲まれた方が快適にツアーを楽しんでいただけると思います。
またハナウマのネコちゃんはとてもフレンドリーですので、ネコ好きの方には海以外にも楽しんでいただけますよ。
ぜひまたハワイにお越しの際には皆様でリピートしてくださいね。いつでもお待ちしております。

Although the weather was unfortunate, I had a great time. After taking a bus from the nearest hotel and heading about 10 minutes by boat from the port, we arrived at a spot where the color of the sea was clearly different. When boarding the boat, you go barefoot or wear marine shoes, leaving flip-flops at the port.
There are containers under the seats on the boat for each group, similar to costume cases, so it was reassuring to keep our belongings in a vinyl bag and store them in the case. The boat also had a toilet and a roof, making it comfortable. Depending on the tide, when we went, the water level was just about at the height where you could reach or not when getting off the boat.
The snorkeling point had depth, and it seemed like they were feeding the fish, as there were many of them. We also saw several sea turtles. After enjoying snorkeling, there was a BBQ buffet. The meat was very tender and delicious. It was nice to have warm tea and coffee, which was great for our chilled bodies.
After lunch, we could enjoy activities like stand-up paddleboarding (SUP). Since the number of SUP boards was limited, we had to wait our turn. I wished we had a bit more time for SUP. On the return bus, there were towels laid on the seats, making it comfortable even with wet bodies. There are no changing areas, so it might be a good idea to bring an extra rash guard or towel as a countermeasure against the bus's air conditioning.
あいにくの天候だったのですが、楽しめました。
最寄りのホテルからバスに乗り、港から船で10分ほど向かうと
海の色が明らかに違うポイントに着きます。
船に乗るときは裸足かマリンシューズになります。ビーサンは港に置いていきます。
船にはグループごとに衣装ケースのような入れ物が椅子の下にあるので、
持ち物はビニールバッグなどに入れてケースに入れておけるので安心でした。
船にはトイレもあり、屋根ありなので快適でした。
潮の具合によりますが、私たちが行ったときは船から降りたら足が届くか
届かないかの高さまで水位がありました。
シュノーケルのポイントは深さもあり、魚の餌付けをしているようで魚が
たくさんいました。
ウミガメも何匹かいました。
シュノーケルを楽しんだ後はBBQのブッフェがありました。
お肉はとても柔らかくておいしかったです。暖かいお茶やコーヒーがあったので、冷えた体には嬉しかったです。
ランチの後はSUP等で楽しめます。SUPは数が限られているので、順番待ちになります。
SUPの時間がもう少し欲しかったなと思いました。
帰りのバスには座席にタオルが敷いてあり、濡れた体でも快適に過ごせました。
着替える場所などはありませんので、バスの冷房対策としてラッシュやタオルを余分に持っていく等した方がいいかもしれません。

The staff on the day were all bright and kind, providing excellent service. However, upon arrival, the tide was almost at its peak... I couldn't see the sandbar like in the pictures, and the water was up to my waist. It's natural for the sea to have tides, but I think it would be helpful to have an explanation of the tide times based on the season when making a reservation. The sea was very beautiful, so I believe those who are mainly interested in snorkeling can still have a great time even at high tide!
当日のスタッフさんはみなさん明るく親切な方たちで対応◎でした。
しかし、到着時はほぼ満潮状態…写真のようなサンドバーを見れず腰のあたりまで海水がありました。
海に潮の満ち引きがあるのは当然なのですが…時期によっての満ち引きの時間帯の説明が予約時にあるといいかなぁと思いました。
海はとてもきれいだったのでシュノーケリングがメインの方なら満潮時でも十分楽しめると思います!

On a Saturday in September, I participated with my family of three. Since it’s a popular tour, the shuttle bus was full. When we arrived at the sandbar, the weather was clear, and we enjoyed a wonderful view. You can take photos while walking (a waterproof cover is necessary). By the way, on this day, the water was up to my waist, which was a bit surprising. Soon, the clouds started to look ominous, and we had a sudden downpour. Still, with lunch included, we were able to see sea turtles while snorkeling, and during our free time, we got to try stand-up paddleboarding (SAP). Overall, it was a thoroughly enjoyable tour. Since it’s a tour aimed at Japanese people, the guide kept things lively and created a homely atmosphere on the boat. I think it depends on the weather, but if you can enjoy this view, you definitely won’t regret it. If it rains, it can get cold, so while there are life jackets available, it’s reassuring to have clothes that you can wear while getting in the water.
9月の土曜日、家族3人で参加しました。人気のツアーなので送迎車は一杯でした。サンドバーに着いた時は晴れていて、素晴らしい景色を堪能できました。歩きながらスマホで撮影できます。(防水カバーは必要です。)ちなみに、この日は腰あたりまで海水があったので、ちょっと意外でした。ほどなく雲行きが怪しくなり突然のスコール。それでもランチが付いて、シュノーケリングでウミガメも見れて、フリータイムでSAP(スタンドアップパドル)にも乗れて、ツアーとしては十分に楽しむことができました。日本人向けのツアーなので、ガイドの人がいろいろと盛り上げて、船内ではアットホームな雰囲気にしてくれます。天気で左右されるとは思いますが、この景色を味わえるなら、絶対、損はしないと思います。もし、雨が降れば寒いので、ライフジャケットはありますが、着たまま入れる服装があると安心です。

I participated in a manta snorkeling tour for the first time. I'm not a strong swimmer and it was my first time snorkeling, but it was fine since I just held onto something like a kickboard and floated. The guide was very kind and supportive.
You can rent a bodysuit on-site for $10, and when I participated, everyone rented one. The boat ride to the manta viewing spot had quite a bit of waves, so I recommend motion sickness medication for those who are prone to seasickness. I took some beforehand as well. We were able to see a beautiful sunset from the boat on the way there.
As for the mantas, many of them gathered, and we were able to see them flipping in the water. The guide mentioned that sometimes you might not see any, so I felt lucky to see so many!
On the way back, the boat's lights were dimmed, and we returned while looking at the starry sky. They served us hot chocolate, but it gets cold, so I think it's a good idea to remember to bring a towel.
It was challenging, but I had a very valuable and wonderful experience, and I was extremely satisfied!
初めてマンタのシュノーケリングツアーに参加しました。私は泳ぎも苦手でシュノーケリング自体初めてだったのですが、ビート板のようなものにつかまって浮いているだけなので、問題ありませんでした。ガイドのお姉さんも優しくサポートしてくださいます。
現地でボディスーツ($10)を借りることもでき、私が参加した時は全員借りていました。
マンタを見れるスポットまでの船は波がかなりあり、酔いやすい人は酔い止めをおすすめします。私も事前に酔い止めを飲んでいきました。行きの船内からはサンセットがきれいに見ることができました。
肝心なマンタですが、たくさんのマンタが集まってきて、宙返りもたくさんみることができました。ガイドさんも見れないこともあるとおっしゃっていたので、たくさん見ることができてラッキーでした!
帰りは船内の照明を落として、星空を見ながら帰りました。ホットチョコレートを出していただきましたが、冷えるので、タオルの準備を忘れないほうが良いと思います。
ハードでしたが、とても貴重で素敵な経験ができ大満足でした!

The kids loved jumping on the inflatable trampoline, going down the slide, and especially loved jumping off the top deck of the boat! They raced each other on kayaks and the stand up paddle boards and had tons of fun. The crew were very accommodating and friendly! They even had snacks and drinks for everyone, which the kids devoured. My kids and my son's friends had a memorable day in the water and I got some great pictures to remember his birthday!

This was SUCH a fun experience for my kids and their friends (ages 7 - 12). They got to do all five activities and didn't have any wait at all for 4 (there was a short wait for the stand-up paddle, but because there were four other things for them to have fun doing, they didn't notice at all). The crew was fabulous. They let the kids jump off the boat from different parts and had great snacks that the kids gobbled up. We asked them what they liked the best and they said they loved all the activities.
The stand-up paddling was probably the biggest hit. The snorkel and kayak and jumping off the boat (extra LOL) was next. Slide and trampoline after that. Since they're smaller/lighter, it was harder for them to jump on the trampoline -- adults will be able to make it bounce more. But yes, over all, AMAZING experience. Just a reminder that the harbor is paid parking so make sure to be ready for that. Hope you all enjoy it like we did! :)

The morning of the tour that I had been looking forward to so much!
To my surprise, there was unusually heavy rain around Waikiki for this time of year! As I waited for the shuttle, the bus arrived.
In the rain, the bus headed to Kaneohe Bay. On the way, the rain gradually turned into a light drizzle. (The bus seat heater is warm, so if it gets too hot, it's a good idea to let the driver know! lol)
Upon arriving at the port, a female guide entered the bus. Jamie, who speaks fluent Japanese, provided explanations that were both appropriate and super interesting! As my worries about the light rain and what would happen with the boat faded away, the weather also seemed to clear up!
We listened to an explanation of the day's schedule on the boat, and it felt like a comedy show, with everyone smiling. In about 10 minutes, we arrived at the heavenly sea sandbar! At first, everyone got off the boat to float around and walk in the beautiful sea.
Before long, we split into snorkeling and stand-up paddleboarding groups, and off we went for snorkeling!!
There were so many fish! While spotting a coral wall on the right side, I could see a sea turtle right below me without needing to squint! I was so excited! (Everyone wanted to see it, causing a bit of a traffic jam while floating. Be careful not to kick anyone nearby, so we can move smoothly!)
As we moved a little further, surprisingly, a sea turtle started to float towards us!! I interpreted it as saying "Hello!" and my excitement peaked again!
The snorkeling lasted about 10 minutes round trip, and the staff were there to ensure our safety, so if you're someone who thinks, "I can't swim, and I might be scared..." I definitely recommend giving it a try!
After snorkeling, it was time for lunch. Oh my, it was delicious! There was a variety of food, drinks, and desserts, and I was very satisfied. After filling our stomachs, we had some free time.
From the anxiety before leaving the hotel, I ended up thinking it was great that I went, and I definitely want to go again!
Thank you so much! 🎶
もの凄く楽しみにしていたツアー当日の朝!
なんとワイキキ周辺は時期的には珍しい大雨!
「ツアー中止かなぁ…」と送迎を待っていると、バスのお迎えが。
雨の中、バスはカネオヘ湾へ。向かう途中から徐々に小雨になってきました。(バスのシートヒーターが温かいので、暑くなってきたら、運転手さんに言った方がよいですよ!w)
港に着き、ガイドの女性が案内でバスの中に。日本語がペラペラのジェイミーさん。また、この方の説明が適切かつ超面白い♫小雨の不安や、これから船はどうなるのかなんて不安が吹っ切れると同時に空模様もモヤモヤが吹っ切れたように回復!!
船上で1日の流れの説明を聞くのですが、すでに漫談状態で、皆んなニコニコ。10分程度で天国の海サンドバーへ到着!初めは、みんな船から降りてプカプカ浮いたり、綺麗な海を歩いたり。
程なくして、シュノーケリングと、サップ組に別れ、いざシュノーケリングに!!
お魚沢山いるーーー!右側にサンゴの壁を見つつ、良く目を凝らす必要も無いくらいにウミガメが真下に!テンションMAX状態です。(皆んな見たくてプカプカ浮いた状態の渋滞が起きますw近くに人がいると軽く蹴られたりするのでスムーズに進みましょうw)
また少し進むと、な、なんとウミガメさんから私達の方にプカァ〜と向かってくるではないですか!!「コンニチワ〜」って言ってくれたと勝手に解釈でまたもテンションMAX!
シュノーケリングも往復10分位で、スタッフの方々がしっかりとガードしてくれているので、「泳げないし、怖いかも…」程度の方は是非挑戦した方が良いですよ!
シュノーケリングの後は食事タイム。あらま、これがまた美味しかったです!食べ物飲み物、デザート色々あり大満足。お腹いっぱいの後は自由行動。
ホテル出発前の不安から、行って良かった、また必ず行きたい!と思わせてくれたツアーでした!
ありがとうございました♫

I encountered over 30 wild dolphins while snorkeling. I had plenty of time for snorkeling, which allowed for a valuable experience, and swimming among the pod of dolphins was amazing.

We headed to a beautiful spot by boat. Since we departed in the afternoon, I was worried about the rain, but by the time we arrived at the spot, the rain had stopped and we were able to see many beautiful fish. There were also plenty of sea urchins. There was a slide, and everyone was having a great time. The snacks, juice, and fruit were very delicious, and my grandchild was very satisfied. I would love to participate again if I have the chance.
船で美しいポイントまで向かいます。午後出発だったので雨が降り心配でしたが、ポイントについたころには雨もやみ美しい魚をたくさん見ることができました。ウニもたくさん。滑り台もあり、皆さん楽しんでいました。軽食のスナック、ジュース、フルーツがとても美味しくて、孫も大満足。またチャンスがあれば参加したいです。

Since I participated alone, my request was initially declined due to not meeting the minimum number of participants. However, they later contacted me to let me know that the required number was reached. I didn't get to see the honu, but I was satisfied to see various fish!
一人で参加だった為、最初は最小催行人数に見合わずリクエストNGとなりましたが、後々人数に達したと連絡してきてくれました。
ホヌには会えませんでしたが、様々な魚に会えて満足してます♪
Thank you for joining the tour. Unfortunately, it was disappointing that we couldn't see any sea turtles that day. We will do our best to show you the honu next time you visit, so please join us again. We are always looking forward to your return.
Thank you very much. Mahalo!!

This was my second time participating in this tour. I usually join the morning sessions, including those from other companies, but this time I thought I’d try the 12 PM session. Just like last time, the staff were all very pleasant. It’s a reliable tour. The visibility wasn’t great this time, but we saw more than five turtles and a decent number of fish. It lasts about two and a half hours, and the fact that it departs right from the heart of Waikiki makes it highly recommended for enjoying such an experience just a bit offshore. I also appreciated that they provide fins along with the snorkeling set.
このツアーには2回目の参加でした。他社のも含めいつも朝イチの方にさんかしてたのですが、たまには午後にしてみようかと今回は12時の回にしてみました。前回同様スタッフはみなさん感じよく。安定感あるツアーです。今回は透明度が今ひとつでしたが、亀さんは5匹以上、魚はまぁまぁいました。2時間半程度で、しかもワイキキど真ん中からのツアー、ワイキキからちょっと沖にでてこれだけ楽しめる、というのは変わらずおすすめ!シュノーケルセットに加えてフィンも貸してくれるのも結構うれしいポイントです。

I ended up not being able to see dolphins in the ocean. It was my second time seeing dolphins, but it was my first time at Dolphin Junior High. This time it was very hectic, going in and out repeatedly. Since the dolphin tour is with nature, I think it's understandable whether you see them or not, but the level of satisfaction does change. I think it might be good to consider that point carefully.
イルカを海の中で見ることが出来ずに終わりました。イルカは2回目でしたが、イルカ中学は初めてでした。今回はとてもせわしなくて、ハイ入って、出て〜の繰り返し。イルカのツアーは自然相手なので、見られても見られなくても仕方ないと思いますが、やはり満足度は変わりますね。その点をよく考慮してみてもよいかと思います。
ALOHA!

Since this is a tour with wild dolphins in the natural ocean, the conditions vary every day.

Due to time constraints, we reached our destination before sunset, and since I was sitting on the right side of the boat, the instructor took some photos for me, but I was unable to see it directly, which was disappointing. The boat ride felt like a roller coaster, both fun and a bit uncomfortable. Finally, while trying to contain my excitement, we went into the water, but despite waiting, the manta rays did not appear. Instead, there were people stirring up the plankton with their feet. However, at the very end, I was able to see a manta ray doing a somersault. It was truly moving. But now, I realized that I didn't get a commemorative photo. Thank you to all the instructors for your help. Mahalo!
時間的に、船で目的地に着く前にサンセットになったのですが右舷側に座っていたので、インストラクターさんが写真を撮ってくれましたが、直接見ることができず、残念でした。
そして、船の旅はジェットコースターの様で、楽しくもあり、苦しくも有りといったところでした。
いよいよ、ワクワクするキモチを抑えつつ海の中へと、ところが待てど暮らせどマンタは現れません。
それどころか、集まってきたプランクトンを足で掻き回してくれる人も有り。
でも、最後の最後にマンタの宙返りを見ることが出来ました。
これは、感動物でした。ところが今度は、記念の写真が撮れて無いでは有りませんか。インストラクターの皆様、お世話になりました。マハロ!

At Angel's Sea, you can really dive into the water, so it's a good idea to wear your swimsuit under your clothes. It's a very satisfying tour. I would like to participate again.
天使の海では結構がっつり海に入るので、水着を服の下に着ていくなどすると良いです。とても満足度の高いツアー。また参加したいと思います。
