We were picked up at Kings' Land in Waikoloa and taken to the venue. We rented a wetsuit ($10) and a snorkeling set (free) on-site before setting off. The boat rocked quite a bit; it swayed back and forth so much that my girlfriend got sick, which is unusual, as we were told it doesn't usually rock this much. However, the staff were very kind and accommodating! I think even those who usually do fine should definitely take motion sickness medication!
The manta rays came right up to our faces, and it was an amazing experience! It felt like they were checking in on my girlfriend, asking, "Are you okay?" which made us burst out laughing. The waves were intense, so while watching the mantas, we were lying face down, and when we returned to our usual position on the boat, I suddenly felt very seasick.
On the way back, it was quite cold even with the wetsuit on, so warm clothing is essential! The boat ride lasts about 30 minutes, and during that time, you might be shivering.
But even with that, it was the best experience! We're already talking about wanting to go see dolphins next time!
ワイコロアのキングズランドまでお迎えに来ていただき会場まで行きました。
現地でウェットスーツ(10ドル)とシュノーケルセット(無料)を借りて出発。
船はかなり揺れました、いつもはこんなに揺れないと言われるくらい縦に横に揺れて彼女は戻してしまうほど( ˊᵕˋ ;)でもスタッフの方達はかなり親切に対応して下さいました!普段大丈夫な人も酔い止め必須だと思います!
マンタは本当に顔の目の前まで来てくれて素晴らしい体験でした!!彼女に「大丈夫かー?」って言ってくれてるかのようで思わず吹き出しました。笑
波が激しかったのでマンタ見てる時はうつ伏せ状態→船に戻って普段の体制になると私も急激に酔いが回りました。
帰りはウェットスーツ来ててもかなり寒いので防寒着必須です!船は30分くらい乗るのでその間は震えます。
でもそれを差し引いても最高の体験でした!次回はイルカ行きたいねーと話しています!

It’s a bit of a distance, but you can meet dolphins, so we arrived at the point. In the distance, dolphins were jumping, and they seemed to be in a good mood today. With many dolphins and the attentive care of the two guides, I participated alone but had a great time. I want to join again!

Despite being warned multiple times, we mistakenly went to the wrong meeting place, but they were very kind to us. (The Hilton Hawaiian Village is really something to watch out for. The Grand Islander and Grand Waikikian can be confusing.)
Our guide, Chieko, was Japanese and very kind and attentive. Unlike a previous snorkeling tour where I had a foreign guide and struggled to communicate, which made me feel scared when I cramped up, we were able to enjoy ourselves as a couple this time.
It's also great that we could take photos with a GoPro and receive them later. I brought an underwater camera, but I was so focused on swimming that I couldn't take good pictures, so this truly became a lifelong memory. Thank you very much.
散々注意されていたにも関わらず集合場所を間違えた私たちに大変親切に対応していただきました。(ヒルトンハワイアンビレッジは本当に要注意。グランドアイランダーとグランドワイキキアンが紛らわしい。)
ガイドのチエコさんは日本人でとても親切丁寧な方で、以前どこかのシュノーケルツアーで外国人ガイドで言葉があまり通じず、足がつったりしても伝えられず怖い思いをしたようなことは全然なく、夫婦で楽しむことができました。
ゴープロで写真を撮ってあとでいただけるのもありがたいですね、水中カメラを持参したのですが、泳ぐのに必死でうまく撮れなかったので、本当に一生の記念、です。ありがとうございました。
Thank you for joining the tour in July. It was a morning tour, but due to a mix-up at the meeting point, we couldn't find you two, and you ended up joining the afternoon tour instead. Just like in the morning, it was great that you were able to see the turtles in the afternoon as well. Both of you did an excellent job. I'm glad you enjoyed the photos too. Please do consider repeating the tour when you come back to Hawaii. You are always welcome.

Although the visibility of the sea wasn't great due to the rain the day before, the emerald green and cobalt blue waters sparkling in the sunlight were truly beautiful. We encountered many sea turtles, and my husband even had moments where he swam close enough to them while being careful not to touch! Our guide, Yukiko, was also impressive just to watch, and she is a big reason why I want to join this tour again and meet her!

Choosing a tour with a Japanese guide for my first visit to Hanauma Bay was the right decision! Although the waves were high that day, I was able to see colorful fish of shapes I had never seen before, huge fish, and even sea turtles up close! I don't think I would have been able to swim that far on my own. Additionally, I received proper instruction on how to wear the mask, clear water from it, maintain posture, and stand in the water, which allowed my husband, who isn't a strong swimmer, to enjoy the experience until the end without worry! Thanks to our guide, Fumio, I truly appreciate it!!
初ハナウマ湾、日本語ガイドさんツアーを選んで正解!!
当日は波が高かったのですが、見たこともないカラフルな色や形の魚たちや、巨大な魚、そして海亀も間近で見る事ができました!
個人で行っていたらあそこまで泳げなかったと思います。
それに、事前にマスクのつけ方や水の抜き方、姿勢や海の中での立ち方など、基本をきちんと教えてもらえたので、泳ぎが得意でない主人も安心して最後まで楽しめたようです!
ガイドのfumioさんのおかげです、本当にありがとうございました!!

We participated as a couple. The boat had people from various countries, not just Japanese. There were about two Japanese couples. There were mostly Caucasian people. Although the weather was nice that day, there were really few plankton to serve as bait, so we only managed to see them towards the very end. We had to stay in the water the whole time, which made it quite tough as our bodies got cold. I think it would be better to wear a long wetsuit and to go in good health.
夫婦で参加しました。船は、日本人だけでなくいろんな国の人と一緒です。日本人は2組くらい。白人系の人が多かったです。この日は天気はよかったものの、餌となるプランクトンが少なかったということで本当に最後のほうにようやく会えたかんじでした。

Dear Ayako Mama, last summer, Hawaii was approached by three hurricanes—Hector, Lane, and Olivia—every 2 to 3 weeks, and it seems you happened to be there during Hurricane Hector.

Please do come back to Hawaii, and this time, I will make sure to guide you to the beautiful sea, so bring your whole family along. I look forward to seeing you again on your next visit.

It was a large boat, so I didn't mind the rocking. It probably depends on the sea conditions, but last year, when my mother participated in a different tour, she got seasick and had to sit out. This time, she finished her hamburger for lunch. At the snorkeling point, we encountered a sea turtle. On the way back, dolphins chased the boat.
I recommend the pricing for accompanying passengers. Even if snorkeling isn't possible, it's great for families who want to enjoy cruising together.

We were picked up from the hotel and after a short drive, we boarded the cruiser at the port and headed to the sandbar. There was a lovely Japanese woman among the staff, which made me feel completely at ease. All the staff were friendly and attentive. The tide wasn't too low, and the water was up to my waist, so it didn't quite feel like a sandbar, but the stunning scenery more than made up for it! We saw several sea turtles floating around. While enjoying delicious hamburgers for lunch, we moved to a different spot where we could leisurely snorkel and see beautiful fish living around the large coral reef. It was truly an enjoyable tour.

Schedule: 2019-07-03 / Number of people: 2 (newlyweds)
【Positive Points】
- The guidance from the Japanese staff is very attentive.
- The distance from the base (Kailua Beach Center) to Kailua Beach is short, making it convenient.
- Bicycle rentals are available ($10 per person).
- For lunch, you can choose between a lunch plate shop and a pizza place (Bob's Pizzeria). The pizza is highly recommended.
【Negative Points】
- Tips are not included in the tour price, so you need to pay tips separately.
【Other】
- Lanikai Beach is about a 20-minute bike ride away, but it's worth visiting.
- Be careful as time flies by quickly! (I couldn't go to downtown Kailua...)
- The bike I rented was a fixed gear, so those who are not used to riding should be cautious. (I wasn't used to it and fell while trying to brake suddenly, and since I was in a swimsuit, I ended up with serious injuries.)
日程:2019-07-03/人数:2名(新婚)/
【良かった点】
・日本人スタッフによる案内が手厚い。
・拠点(カイルアビーチセンター)からカイルアビーチまでの距離が近いため便利。
・レンタサイクルあり(1人10ドル)
・昼食はランチプレート屋とピザ屋(Bob's Pizzeria)が任意で選べる。おすすめはピザ。
【悪かった点】
・ツアー代金にチップが含まれていないため、別途チップを支払う必要あり。
【その他】
・ラニカイビーチまでは自転車で約20分の距離だが、訪れる価値がある。
・あっという間に時間が過ぎてしまうため注意!(カイルアの街中に行けなかった…)
・レンタサイクルで借りた自転車が固定ギアのため運転に慣れていない人は注意してほしい。(私は慣れてなく、急ブレーキで転倒してしまい、水着姿だったため、重傷を負ってしまった)

It was a very satisfying activity.
【Experience Details】
We had plenty of time to see fish and turtles at two spots. On the way there, we encountered a pod of dolphins and even saw them spin. At each spot, we saw many fish, and we were able to see six turtles and an octopus as well. However, since I participated at the beginning of July, there were some areas where the water was a bit cold. This might have been due to a typhoon approaching a few days later.
On the way back, it was a great experience to enjoy a hearty barbecue chicken while sailing.
【Others】
We were the only Japanese couple, but the staff were all cheerful and friendly sea men and women who interacted with us warmly. The other participants were mainly families and couples. The explanations in English were delivered quite quickly, so honestly, it was hard for me to catch everything, but I think it’s fine as long as you mimic those around you (laughs). I was worried on the day of the activity because I completely forgot about the reconfirmation phone call the day before, but it turned out to be okay.
Also, I gave a tip of $20 to one person when disembarking (the others around me did the same).
Overall, it was a very satisfying activity.
とても満足のアクティビティでした。
【体験内容】
スポット2箇所でたっぷりの時間で魚や亀を見ることができました。
行きの船ではイルカの群れに出会い、スピンも見れました。
スポット各々で、たくさんの魚を見れ、亀も6匹、タコも見ることができました。
一方、7月頭の参加でしたが、少し水が冷たい箇所もありました。数日後に台風が迫っていたことが理由かもしれません。
帰りはセーリングで帰りながらボリューミーな鶏肉のバーベキューを食べるのも良い体験でした。
【その他】
日本人は我々夫婦のみでしたが、スタッフは皆海の男&女で爽やかに明るい方々で、気さくに接ししていただきました。
我々の他はご家族やカップルが中心でした。
説明など英語はかなりスピーディに話されるので、得意でないわたしには正直聞き取るのは無理でしたが、基本周りの真似をしていれば大丈夫かと思います(笑)
前日リコンファームで電話ということでしたが、完全に忘れており当日心配しておりましたが、大丈夫でした。
また、チップは、下船時にお一人に20ドルをお渡ししました(周囲の方も同様な形でした)
総じて大満足のアクティビティでした。

I was looking forward to Sandbar, but at the time close to high tide, the sand wasn't exposed, and it was just a shallow area with splashing. Since it was shallow, there were no fish at all. Well, I did choose to depart a bit later in the morning.
In the afternoon snorkeling, we swam around the coral reef, but the fish were just average to sparse. The water clarity was low, but the coral was magnificent.
The cruise guide, Yumiko, was very enjoyable and considerate, and the hamburger for lunch was delicious, creating a very nice atmosphere.
サンドバー、楽しみにしていましたが、満潮に近い時刻で砂は浮き出ておらず、単なる浅瀬のぱちゃぱちゃでした。浅瀬なので魚も全くおらず。まぁ、午前中ゆっくりめの出発を選んだのは私ですが。
午後のシュノーケリングでは、サンゴ礁の回りを泳ぎますが、魚影はごくふつうから少なめ。水の透明度は低め。サンゴはみごとでしたが。

I participated with four friends. Three of them are not very good at snorkeling, but they enjoyed it nonetheless.
I joined the sandbar tour about eight years ago, but this time there was no sandy area in sight at all. Being 160 cm tall, the water level was almost up to my waist. It might have been high tide, but it felt just like a regular sea.
Still, I was able to see a lot of sea turtles, which I was very satisfied with. I also felt that it would have been better if there had been an explanation of the snorkeling masks and other equipment on the boat rather than after entering the water.
友人4人で参加しました。3人はシュノーケリングが得意ではありませんが、それなりに満喫しておりました。
サンドバーは8年ほど前に参加してますが、今回は砂地が全くなく見当たらず、160㎝の背の高さの私は、ほぼ腰あたりまで水面が来ていました。満潮だったかもしれませんが、それにしても普通の海としか感じませんでした。
それでも、沢山のウミカメを見ることができました。その点はとても満足しました。
また、海に入ってからではなく、船上で、シュノーケリングマスク等の説明があったらよかったなと感じました。

Everything was amazing! First of all, Mr. Gaito's guidance was very thorough, which made me feel secure participating in the tour. The BBQ hamburger was also juicy and incredibly delicious! Above all, I was able to fully enjoy the ocean in Hawaii! At the sandbar, I took photos right in the middle of the sea and admired the beautiful water. During the sea turtle watching, although they were a bit far away, I encountered two sea turtles. While snorkeling, I was able to swim alongside a sea turtle! If I have the chance to go to Hawaii again, I would definitely love to participate once more!
全てが最高でした!
まず、ガイトさんの案内が非常に丁寧で安心してツアーに参加することが出来ました。BBQハンバーガーも肉汁が溢れてとても美味しかったです!
そして何よりハワイの海を満喫出来ました!サンドバーでは海のど真ん中で写真を撮ったり、綺麗な海を眺めたり。ウミガメウォッチングでは少し遠目ではありましたが、ウミガメ2匹と遭遇。シュノーケリングでは何とウミガメと一緒に泳ぐことが出来ました!
またハワイに行く機会があれば是非もう一度参加したいです!

I could see the magnificent history of volcanoes from the past known only to the creator of the Earth up to today, June 27, 2019. The overlapping rivers created by the old and new lava flows from Kilauea, swallowing everything—human activities, roads, and fields—what incredible power. I could see how the lava flows that poured into the sea expanded this island. The awe of nature's power is evident. And the black sand beach that formed is perhaps a joke-filled gift from the gods to humanity. Next, at Kobaruyama, time transformed the lava into fertile soil that nurtures lush trees, and erosion created breathtaking canyons and waterfalls that drop 400 meters—these stunning views were experienced by the helicopter guests. Finally, the awareness and proactivity of the island's people in coexisting with the volcanoes, as shared by pilot Mochizuki, will likely stay with me for life, as I lead a rather ordinary existence. Moreover, this first helicopter tour of my life allowed me to witness the Earth's activities from a bird's-eye view. It may sound a bit exaggerated, but it changed my perspective on life.
地球の創造者しか知り得ない過去から2019.06.27の今日に至るまでの火山が織り成す壮大な歴史が見えた。キラウエアから生まれた新旧の溶岩流が作り出す重なり合った川、人の営み、道路、畑、すべてを呑み込んで流れた様子、なんという偉力。そして海に流れ込んだ溶岩流がこの島を広げていった様子が一望できる。自然の力の凄さが見える。そしてとったんに出来た黒砂海岸は神さまから人へのジョーク交じりのプレゼントか。次に小原山、時間は溶岩を緑豊かな木々を育む土へと変え、また浸食によって絶景を織り成す渓谷や400mから落ちる滝、これら身震いをしてしまう景色をヘリのゲストは味わった。最後に望月パイロットが語れたこの島の人達の火山との共存意識とその積極性は平凡な日常しか無い私の耳から生涯離れそうもない。それどころかこの人生初のヘリコプター遊覧は地球の営みを鳥の目線で目の当たりに出来た。少し大袈裟かもしれないが人生観を変えた。

This was an excellent way to explore the ocean without having experience in scuba diving. Kevin was patient, informative, and an overall great guide. My only advice is to consider the excursion before committing. The water can be a bit rough and there is a good deal of information to consider. My wife backed out at the last minute but she was also on the fence about going in the first place. My 15 and 11 year old had a great time as did I.

I participated with my daughter. The staff members were very kind and fun people. We were able to go to places we couldn't reach on our own and met many turtles, even swimming with them! It was a wonderful tour. However... I am very prone to seasickness, and I forgot to bring motion sickness medication to the hotel (tears), so I wasted half of the tour (free time) unable to do anything. I am really disappointed about that. I truly think the tour itself, including the staff, was absolutely amazing! I plan to take revenge next time (^o^)/
娘と二人で参加しました。スタッフの皆さんがとても親切で楽しい方々でした。自力では行けない場所に行け沢山の亀さんにも会え、一緒に泳ぐ事が出来る!とても素晴らしいツアーでした。ただ…私がとても波酔い船酔いしやすいのに、ホテルに酔い止め薬を忘れて(涙)ツアー半分(自由時間)を何も出来ない状態で無駄にしてしまいました。その事が残念でなりません。ツアーは自体はスタッフの方々含め本当に本当に最高だと思います!次回またリベンジするつもりです(^o^)/
Aloha! This is Captain Bruce's Heavenly Ocean Tour. Thank you very much for participating this time. I hope you were okay after getting seasick! Please come back for a revenge tour! All of our staff sincerely look forward to your next visit.

Thank you for joining us. I understand it must have been tough since you experienced seasickness, but I'm glad you enjoyed the manta rays' rolling. We look forward to seeing you next time with the dolphins!
ご参加ありがとうございました。
船酔いされてしまったということで大変だったかと思いますが、マンタのローリングを楽しんでいただけて良かったです。
次回、イルカで是非おまちしております!
