マンタ大学夜学部 野生のマンタ&ナイトシュノーケリングツアー <送迎可/日本語スタッフ乗船日あり>

As expected! 期待どおり!

Reviewed by: トビー

We participated as a family of four (all adults). Among the three staff members, the female staff member was fluent in Japanese, so we had no trouble understanding the explanations before snorkeling. The snorkeling lasted about 40 minutes. We were instructed to keep our bodies horizontal and look into the water, but it wasn't difficult to maintain that position since we had a foam-like stick to hold near our knees. The manta rays came close enough to touch. They are large and incredibly impressive! We were able to see at least five manta rays. The staff were very considerate, making our experience comfortable. Additionally, we received a tote bag with a manta ray design on our way back.

I was worried about seasickness, and while my wife experienced some mild symptoms, it wasn't serious, and it seemed that no other participants had issues with seasickness. However, I think it depends on the wave conditions of the day. Also, it might be wise to rent a wetsuit for an additional fee ($10 each).

家族4人で参加しました。(全員大人)
スタッフ3名のうち女性のスタッフの方は日本語が堪能なので、シュノーケリング前の説明等も問題なく理解できました。シュノーケリングは約40分間。
体を水平にして海中を覗き込むように言われましたが、発泡スチロールのような棒状のものを膝の辺りに当てるので体を水平に維持するのは疲れもせず難しくなかったです。
マンタは体に触れるくらいまで近くに来てくれます。
マンタは大きく凄い迫力です! 確認できただけでも5枚のマンタを見ることができました。
スタッフの皆さんもいろいろと気遣いしてくれて快適でした。
それと、帰りにマンタの絵が描かれたトートバッグをいただきました。

船酔いが心配でしたが、妻に少し船酔いの症状が出たものの大事には至らず、他の参加者にも船酔いした人はいなかったようです。ただ、船酔いに関してはその日の波の状況にもよると思います。
それと別料金(1着10㌦)になりますがウエットスーツは借りたほうが賢明ではないでしょうか。

Small Group Snorkel Tour with Personal Guide at Hanauma Bay [Open Soon]

AWESOME, especially for a beginner

Reviewed by: Penny

Dan was a fabulous professional instructor and guide for us!! It was our first snorkel, my husband and I, age 58. We can swim but no one would say we're strong swimmers hence we decided upon an instructor/guide, and Dan's the very best.

We didn't plan to do the wet suits but thank goodness Dan had them available. It was low tide and the protection over the coral in shallow water was invaluable, besides the warmth and buoyancy it offered. (the water was a little cooler than we expected) Dan literally held my hand while snorkeling so i could simply relax and float and watch for fish. He guided us over coral I'd have never have done otherwise, and those were the best places to see the fish. He was so very patient and helpful as I suited up, he fitted my mask and fins, and he was very thorough explaining the snorkel, breathing etc. I'd have never had the same snorkel experience without Dan. He made us feel comfortable and safe, what more could you want?

We had plenty of nice surprises-the tram down and back for example. He provided water and snacks afterward, beach mats, lock box for stuff while in the water, transportation, etc. It feels luxurious when someone's taken care of everything, Dan made that happen and I'm confident he would for you too.

I can't recall the name of Dan's helper but she too was top notch. When snorkeling it's sometimes hard to know which direction you're headed, let alone the tide steering you. I don't really know how Dan and her managed to keep track of us, both above and below water simultaneously but they did, keeping us together, seeing and pointing out the best things possible during the snorkel.

Dan wants you to have a great experience. You will, like we did, I'm sure. If we can do it (with Dan's help) you can too!

PS Dan takes pictures of you for you. Can't wait to see ours!

サンドバー キャプテンブルース 天国の海®︎シュノーケリングクルーズ SUPや浮き輪などレンタルアイテムも!<午前・午後/日本語クルー>

Honu ❤︎ ホヌ❤︎

Reviewed by: AKW

The weather wasn't perfectly clear, but the sea was beautiful. I thought I had chosen a day with low water levels for the sandbar by researching in advance, but there was still water up to my knees. However, I was satisfied because I was able to see sea turtles while snorkeling. The guide was also great, getting everyone excited and actively taking photos, which was a nice service. The only point for improvement would be that since there were quite a few people on the tour, it took some time to gather everyone, and there were moments when we bumped into each other while snorkeling.

天気は快晴ではありませんでしたが、海は綺麗でした。肝心のサンドバーは事前に調べて水位が低い日を選んだつもりですが、膝下くらいまで水があったもののシュノーケリングでウミガメを見ることができ満足です。ガイドさんも盛り上げてくれ写真を積極的にとってくれるなどサービスがよかっったです。唯一改善点としては、ツアー人数がそれなりに多いので集合に時間がかかったりシュノーケリングの時にぶつかったりしたことでしょうか。

Reviewed by: Mike

Don’t worry about the early pickup to get you to the west side of Oahu. After swimming with dolphins and seeing at least 10 whales including a mother and calf, you will be wide awake. Sleeping is for the shuttle back home after such a fun-filled adventure. Do it, you won’t regret it!

西オアフで体験するパワースポット&シュノーケリングツアー<日本語ガイド兼インストラクター/送迎付き>

Thank you, Akima, for the enchanting Hawaii. Akimaさんと魅惑のハワイに感謝

Reviewed by: naneayumi

Aloha!
I have visited Hawaii more than ten times, but this was my first experience in West Oahu and snorkeling. I was captivated by Akima's personality and enjoyable conversations, along with precious stories about Hawaii's legendary history... it was a wonderful Aloha moment.

During snorkeling, Akima taught us with care and kindness, allowing me to swim comfortably even as a beginner. Against the beautiful backdrop of the green "Waianae Mountains" and the blue ocean, I was thrilled to swim with many fish, including the "humuhumunukunukuapua'a" (the state fish of Hawaii), and sea turtles.
We even had a fun photo shoot with a rare red sea urchin on my head! The photos taken were beautiful and filled with memories.
I highly recommend this tour. I would be happy to meet Akima again on my next visit to Hawaii.
I am grateful for the encounter with Akima and the enchanting Hawaii.
Thank you very much.
Mahalo Nui loa! A Hui Hou!

Aloha!
10回以上ハワイを訪れていますが、西オアフ&シュノーケリングは初めてで、Akimaさんの人柄と楽しいお喋りに魅了され、ハワイの伝説歴史の貴重なお話等々・・・素晴らしいAlohaなひとときが流れていきました。

シュノーケリングでは丁寧・親切に教えていただき、初めてでも安心して泳ぐことができました。
緑色に包まれた「ワイアナエ山脈」と青い海のコントラストの美しい景色を背に、海中ではたくさんの魚たちや「フムフムヌクヌクアプアア」(ハワイ州の魚)、ウミガメと一緒に泳ぐことができて感動。
珍しい赤いウニを頭に乗せての楽しい記念撮影もあり・・・!
撮影してくださった写真も美しくて、思い出がいっぱい詰まっています。
是非お勧めのツアーです。次回ハワイを訪れた時も、またAkimaさんにお会いできると嬉しいです。

Thanks to our guide Fumio, we were able to go snorkeling safely. The experience wasn't perfect due to the bad weather, which made it a bit cold at times. However, the tour was enjoyable, and Fumio provided thorough explanations, allowing us to fully enjoy the beautiful sea even as first-time snorkelers. He also shared various recommendations for dining and shopping, which were very helpful. Thank you very much.

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>

First helicopter experience はじめてのヘリコプター体験

Reviewed by: みにゃ

My first helicopter experience was enjoyable. I requested a Japanese pilot, but when my reservation was confirmed, I was informed that it would be an English-speaking pilot, so I was glad I could participate with that understanding in advance. Although I'm not a native speaker, I was able to understand, and it turned out to be a very good experience! Unfortunately, the Kilauea volcano was calm, so it wasn't what I had hoped for, but I was able to enjoy the magnificent scenery of the Big Island of Hawaii, and it was worth the price!

はじめてのヘリコプター体験、楽しかったです。
日本語パイロットリクエストしましたが、予約確定時、英語パイロットと、お知らせが来ましたのであらかじめ理解の上参加できたのが良かったです。
ネイティブではありませんが、理解出来、とてもよい体験になりました!
残念ながら、キラウエア火山は沈静化していましたので期待したものではありませんでしたが、雄大なハワイ島の景色を眺めることが出来、お値段の価値はありました!

2.5-Hour Waikiki Guided Turtle Snorkel Tour, Snacks & Drinks - Holokai Catamaran

great underwater views when snorkelling

Reviewed by: Charlie3

activity instructions were not clear as there are 2 Outrigger hotels on Waikiki beach- maybe that can be made clear for future bookings.

safety instructions were good and snorkelling excellent with 2 helpers in the water to show where the turtles and fish were and keep you in the area. Waves were picking up when we left and I'm not a good sailor, so I didnt have any snacks or drinks . Sails were raised and all the crew were very good for the sail around the harbour.

イルカ中学 野生のイルカ&ウミガメシュノーケリングクルーズ 高速ボートでイルカ遭遇率アップ!<少人数制/ワイキキ&コオリナ送迎可/日本語/ランチ付き>

An unforgettable sight. 忘れられない光景

Reviewed by: まいまい

We were blessed with good weather, but for a while after setting sail, there were no signs of dolphins, and I started to lose hope, thinking it was just nature. Then, during our last chance, we encountered a large pod of about 60 dolphins! We were able to swim quite close to them and even witnessed them jumping, which was incredibly exciting.

On our way back, we had another amazing encounter with a mother whale and her calf at a surprisingly close distance! I was moved by the adorable sight of the baby whale mimicking its mother by flapping its tail. At the sea turtle spot, I was also thrilled to swim alongside a quite large sea turtle.

Even if you're not a strong swimmer, the instructors were very attentive, making for a safe and enjoyable experience!

Thank you very much! ^ ^

天候に恵まれましたが、出航してから暫くイルカの影も形もなく、自然相手だしと諦めモードに。
ラストチャンスの回遊で60頭ぐらいのイルカの大群に遭遇!かなり近くで泳げ、ジャンプする姿にも巡り会えて大興奮。

大満足で帰り途中、かなり近めの距離でクジラの親子に遭遇!赤ちゃんクジラが親を真似て尻尾をパタパタする可愛らしい姿に感激。ウミガメスポットでもかなり大きなウミガメと一緒に泳げ大満足でした。

泳ぎが苦手でもインストラクターの皆さんがしっかりとアテンドしてくれ、安心&楽しい時間でした!

Waikiki Snorkel with Turtles Cruise with Beers & Cocktails - Ke Kai Catamaran

Amazing trip! Excellent value and an experience we will remember for ever

Reviewed by: Will C

Wow! We had such a good time on the boat this morning. Was convenient to get the boat at 10.30 just after breakfast from right on the beach. Crew were friendly and just a short journey out to Turtle Canyon! The crew were fun and helpful, and when we got to Turtle Canyon we were lucky enough to see 6+ turtles, many fish and the crew/ lifeguard/ guide pointed out a few extra interesting things. We had plenty of time to be in the water looking at the turtles, most people returned to the boy long before they had to and enjoyed a few drinks in a beautiful setting.
We looked out for whales or dolphins on the way back but didn’t get lucky, Aparently they are there though and can sometimes be seen.
They provided life jackets which were good to snorkel with as don’t have to take too much effort to stay floating and can easily deflate if you want to dive down.
Not was not too crowded, we had only about 15 people but they did say they can do up to 49 people and I imagine that would be very crowded!
At turtle canyon there were quite a few other boats but if you were patient it wasn’t that bad in the water snorkeling around, just watch out for any collisions with other swimmers!
The crew were good and kept an eye on us in the water at all times too, letting people know if they were going too far or anything and also pointing out where the turtles are!
In summary, something we would love to do again and would certainly recommend to any other people visiting Hawaii!
There isn’t much shade on the bot was one thing with nothing - so take a hat if it’s a sunny day!
Crew were very generous providing drinks on board too! I’d be surprised if anyone managed to have all three free drinks though after the snorkel (no alcohol before swimming) it’s only 20 mins back to the beach.

サンドバー キャプテンブルース 天国の海®︎シュノーケリングクルーズ SUPや浮き輪などレンタルアイテムも!<午前・午後/日本語クルー>

I was able to see sea turtles so many times that I got tired of it! 見飽きるほど何回もウミガメが見れました!

Reviewed by: wattanwattan

There is a dock about an hour from the hotel by shuttle bus, where we take a boat to the sandbar.

The area where the boat arrives at the sandbar was about waist-deep, but in some places, it was shallow enough to reach just below the knees.

While the sand did not emerge above the water's surface, the view was absolutely stunning! It felt surreal to walk in the middle of the ocean.

As soon as we arrived, we were able to see sea turtles swimming near the anchored boats, and during snorkeling, we saw sea turtles resting on the coral and many fish.

The staff spoke Japanese and made the experience very enjoyable.

I’m really glad I participated in the tour.

One thing to note is that this activity is weather-dependent. I participated in February, which is not only the rainy season but also when the water can feel cold. If it’s not sunny, the view may not be as breathtaking. Additionally, the UV rays are strong.

I recommend applying sunscreen, wearing a rash guard, bringing a slightly larger towel to dry off after getting out of the boat, and bringing something like a hoodie to wear.

送迎バスでホテルから1時間ほどのところに船着き場があり、船でサンドバーに向かいます。

サンドバーは、船が到着する場所は腰ぐらいの深さでしたが、場所によっては膝下ぐらいまでになるところもあります。

砂が水面から顔を出すことはありませんでしたが、大絶景!です。
海の真ん中を歩く非日常感。

停泊している船の近くを泳ぐウミガメを到着してすぐに見ることができ、シュノーケリングでは海底のサンゴの上で休んでいるウミガメとたくさんの魚を見ることができました。

スタッフさんは日本語で盛上げてくれるのでとても楽しい時間が過ごせました。

ツアーに参加して本当に良かったです。

注意点としては、天候に左右されるアクティビティであることです。
2月に参加していますが、この時期は雨季であるばかりでなく、海に入ると寒く感じます。
晴れていない時は大絶景とまではいかないかもしれません。
そして、紫外線は強いです。

日焼け止めを塗り、ラッシュガードを着用することと、船から上がったら体をしっかり拭くことができるように少し大きめのタオルを用意すること、パーカー等の羽織る物を持参することをおすすめします。

Aloha! Thank you very much for participating in the Captain Bruce's Paradise of the Sea Tour. We appreciate your kind words, "I'm really glad I participated in the tour!" As the staff operating the tour, this feedback motivates us for the future. Thank you also for sharing your notes. February, which is winter in Hawaii, can indeed be quite chilly on some days. The water temperature can also be cold. Since we head out into the middle of the ocean, it's a good idea to have a jacket, not just in winter but also in summer. We look forward to welcoming you back again!

I was able to meet a dolphin. イルカに会えました

Reviewed by: 4人家族

I was happy to fulfill my long-time dream of swimming with dolphins. I was able to see them up close. It was cold, but the wetsuit I borrowed was helpful. If there's one thing I want to mention, it's that since I rented a car, I met at the designated location, but the meeting point, the "public restroom," was quite hard to find. It was still dark at the meeting time, and other participants' bus was delayed, which made me quite anxious, wondering if I was at the wrong meeting point. In the end, I found out by asking someone from another tour company. I had asked during the confirmation call the day before, "Will I be able to find the restroom easily?" but the response was vague.

長年の夢(?)だった、イルカと泳ぐことができて嬉しかったです。しっかり見ることができました。寒かったのですが、お借りしたウエットスーツが役にたちました。一つだけ言っておきたいことがあるとしたら・・レンタカーのため、現地集合にしたのですが、集合場所の「公衆トイレ」がかなり分かりづらかったです。集合時間はまだ暗かったし、他の参加者のバスが遅れてきて、集合場所が違うのではないかと、かなり不安な気持ちになりました。最終的に、他のツアー会社さんの方にお聞きして判明しました。前日の参加確認の電話で「トイレってすぐに分かりますかね?」と聞いておきましたがその辺のお返事も曖昧でした。

It became my number one memory and lesson from my trip to Hawaii! ハワイ旅行での1番の思い出と学びになりました!

Reviewed by: おまき

I participated in February, which is winter and the rainy season in Hawaii. Although the wind felt a bit chilly, the weather was pleasant and enjoyable. Our shuttle bus driver, Pete, had a friendly and relaxing talk in Japanese that made the ride to the port fun from the start.

My partner, who has had ear surgery in the past, was a bit scared of the water, but the supportive staff and the variety of activities helped ease those worries. They explained that the boat would sway due to the wind, and they sold anti-nausea products for those who didn't bring medication or couldn't take it. We purchased some, and they worked very well for us. On our return flight, the plane was quite bumpy, and many people felt nauseous, but thanks to the anti-nausea products we bought, we were fine. It turned out to be a surprisingly good purchase (it's a good idea to bring cash in dollars if you plan to buy).

Once on the boat, our Japanese guide, Izumi, began her explanation. Izumi's explanations were excellent, clearly outlining what to do and what not to do, which was very impressive. We were excited to be there, but she emphasized the importance of following proper etiquette, not putting ourselves in danger, and not enduring discomfort if we felt unwell. She also mentioned that touching sea turtles incurs a fine of 350,000 yen. It was truly educational, as she provided explanations not found in the guidebook about protecting the environment for future visits.

The captain also tried to keep the boat steady and moved slowly. After about 20 minutes on the boat, we arrived at the planned beach location. Unfortunately, it wasn't a beach, but the shallow waters were calm and very beautiful.

We chose not to participate in snorkeling and instead enjoyed activities on the sandy bottom. The staff was engaging and made it easy to communicate any needs or issues.

Moreover, two sea turtles came close to us!

A cool foreign staff member took photos for us.

We enjoyed a delicious buffet lunch on the boat, which was filling and a lot of fun!

From start to finish, it was an exciting and enjoyable experience! Thank you to all the staff.

Thank you, Hawaii! I want to participate again.

私たちにはとても効果がありこの日の酔い止め効果も抜群でしたが、帰国の飛行機がかなり揺れて酔ってる人が多かったのですが、購入した酔い止めグッズを使用して酔わずに済みました。思わぬ良い買い物までできました。(購入するなら現金ドルを持って行くといいですよ)

船に乗ると日本人ガイドのIzumiさんの説明が始まります。Izumiさんの説明が秀逸でしっかりと良いこと、ダメなことをわかりやすく教えてくれて感動ものです。
私たちは楽しみにここに来ていること。
でも、楽しむためにはしっかりとマナーを守り、自分を危険に晒さないことはもちろん、具合悪かったら我慢しないことや、海ガメに触ると罰金35万円かかることなど。また次も気持ちよく参加ように環境を守る。ことのガイドブックには載っていない説明など本当に勉強になりました。

キャプテンもできるだけ揺れないようにゆっくりと船を走らせてくれました。船に乗ること20分くらいでビーチ予定の場所に到着。
残念ながらビーチにはなってませんでしたが、浅瀬で波も穏やかなのでとっても綺麗でした。

シュノーケリングには参加せず砂地でアクティビティを楽しむ方を選びました。
スタッフのみなさんが楽しくもりあげてくれて、いつでも必要なものや困りごとを伝えられる状態になってます。

しかも、海ガメさんたちが2匹も寄ってきてくれました。

写真もスタッフの外国人のカッコいいお兄さんが撮ってくれました。

船上で食べるブッフェランチもお腹いっぱい美味しく食べて、最高に楽しかったです!

最初から最後までずっと楽しくワクワクでした!
スタッフのみなさんありがとうございました。

ありがとう、ハワイ!
また参加したいです。

Aloha! This is Captain Bruce's Paradise of the Sea Tour. Thank you very much for participating this time. Hawaii is often associated with a tropical image, but it does have a winter season. The sea temperature can indeed be cold. However, during winter, the colors of the sea and sky are crystal clear, making it beautiful to see! We hope you will join us again in the summer to compare the experiences! All of our staff sincerely look forward to your next visit.

アロハ!キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーです。この度はご参加いただき誠にありがとうございました。 常夏なイメージのハワイですが、ハワイにも冬があるんです。海水温は確かに冷たいですよね。ただ冬は、海の色や空の色は透き通るので、綺麗に見えるんですよ!!是非次回は夏にも参加して頂き、比べてみてくださいね!!またのお越しをスタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げております。

2.5-Hour Waikiki Guided Turtle Snorkel Tour, Snacks & Drinks - Holokai Catamaran

Amazing sea life and sail

Reviewed by: Nancy

We took the 12 pm tour and boarded the catamaran from the beach. It only took 10 minutes to motor out to the snorkel site so it was not far from shore. There were 3-4 other boats with groups in the same area but there was plenty of space. We snorkeled until everyone had returned to the boat. Then the crew raised the sail and we had a great time coasting over the beautiful blue water, returning just inside of the 3 hour advertised time. Free snacks (chips, granola bars) were provided and you could buy drinks.

The crew were funny, friendly, and gave clear instructions. They kept watch over us during the snorkel. They regularly checked up on each guest after the snorkel to make sure everyone was comfortable. I wear glasses, and have a -5.25 prescription. They had prescription goggles on board that were -6.0 and I was able to see so clearly without my glasses! We saw a group of spinner dolphins on the way out, and I saw 5 different sea turtles below us during the snorkel. Several of them surfaced to breathe close by which was amazing! We saw a baby octopus, and lot of beautiful fish. The crew member in the water with us was good to caution people to give the turtles their space which was important.

Advice: you are barefoot to board the boat and on the boat, and you store your bag and shoes in cubby holes on board. It's good to bring a sun shirt so your back doesn't burn. You do get cold while snorkeling, but less so if you keep moving. Bring a towel and warm clothes to wear after if you tend to get cold. Hats will fly away easily so you need one with a draw string. They provide sunscreen if you forget your own. I took gravol before the trip, so I'm not sure if I needed it!

I previously went on the Angel Sea Tour and had a great experience, so this time I invited my friend's family to join. They were also very happy, and I was pleased that the Japanese female guide remembered me. The tour included lunch, and I think it's a great deal.

以前、天使の海ツアーに行きとても良かったので、今回は友人家族を誘って参加しました。 友人家族も大変喜んでおり、ガイドの日本人女性が私を覚えていてくれて、これも嬉しかったです。 ランチも付いてのツアーで、格安だと思います。

2.5-Hour Waikiki Guided Turtle Snorkel Tour, Snacks & Drinks - Holokai Catamaran

Wonderful, given the circumstances :)

Reviewed by: Kelsy

I booked this tour back around August of 2018 for a February 2019 trip. The original date was supposed to be Sunday morning on their first tour; however, they reached out to us on Saturday morning to notify us rescheduling might be required, as the island was going to be hit with an extremely severe storm over the weekend. Sure enough, Sunday morning came, and it was determined the waters were too unstable to enjoy a safe snorkeling experience. We were able to re-book to Monday afternoon, with the hopes the waters would mellow out and clear up by then. We arrived at the meeting spot, and right as we were about to disembark, we were notified the waters were still too dangerous. We were then given the option to either reschedule, or go sail with them for an hour or so, and get a refund on the snorkeling portion. Given we were leaving the following day, we were unfortunately unable to reschedule, and opted for the sailing. The captain, Ryan, and the rest of the crew were all wonderful, and made it a memorable experience. We were out sailing for around an hour and a half, and the views were breathtaking. They also provided everyone a few free drinks to help make up for the inconvenience, and the free snacks provided were much appreciated. While we never got to enjoy the snorkeling itself, I can vouch for the company and their customer service. Thank you for turning lemons to lemonade! Also, in February it was a bit chilly, so I would recommend a light jacket, and definitely sunglasses :)

2.5-Hour Turtle Snorkel Sail Tour from Waikiki Beach - Cold Brew Coffee, Snacks & One Drink Included

Ok...but not the best experience.

Reviewed by: Hawaii visitor

The boat staff were very nice, but the weather before this activity wasn’t ideal, so that is part of why this review isn’t stellar. Also, the tour said that snorkelling equipment including fins was provided. Fins were not. They are actually very helpful for staying buyouant, especially in rougher waters like we had, so we were counting on them. The area was VERY busy, with many tour groups out there, so it wasn’t a very pleasant snorkelling experience - as you kept getting kicked in the face. I wouldn’t recommend this - find a nice spot and go on your own.

イルカ中学 野生のイルカ&ウミガメシュノーケリングクルーズ 高速ボートでイルカ遭遇率アップ!<少人数制/ワイキキ&コオリナ送迎可/日本語/ランチ付き>

I saw dolphins, but it was really cold!!! And we were quite delayed on the way back... イルカは見れたけど、とにかく寒い!!! そして帰りの時間はかなり押しました・・・

Reviewed by: みーみ

**[Experience Review]**
I participated at the end of January, but the maximum temperature was 22 degrees, and it was very cold. Right after boarding, I was able to see sea turtles and whales, but we struggled to find dolphins for four hours while being rocked by the boat. Finally, we spotted dolphins, but by then, I was down due to the cold and seasickness. In the end, I didn't get to enter the water and just watched the dolphins from the boat.

**[What I Liked About This Tour]**
The staff's determination to find dolphins is impressive! True to their word, while other tours were turning back to the harbor due to the lack of sightings, they took us here and there in search of dolphins.

**[Advice for Future Participants]**
If you are prone to seasickness, please make sure to take anti-nausea medication! They cannot sell medication on board, but they do sell seasickness prevention wristbands for $20. However, even with the medication and the wristband, I still felt nauseous. I wore a wetsuit for an additional fee (was it $10 or $20?), but it was really cold. Being exposed to the north wind for four hours was truly freezing. After coming out of the water, a man from another group became so pale that it was concerning, and he couldn't stop shaking.

On the way there, the bus provided explanations and taught us about Hawaiian history, so it wasn't really a relaxing atmosphere (in both good and bad ways). However, on the way back, there was an announcement about photo sales as soon as we got on, but after that, the bus was quiet enough for a nice nap. I forgot the price of the photos, but payment was either on the bus or at the office, so if you don't have any business at the office, I recommend bringing a bit of cash. I ended up needing quite a bit of cash for the seasickness band, wetsuit, photo costs, and tips. I'm glad I had it on me (laughs). Regarding tips, there was an announcement before disembarking saying, "If you think it was good..." and my husband and I paid $20, but it seemed that many people either didn't tip or only tipped around $5.

【実際に体験した感想】
1月末に参加しましたが最高気温が22度でとても寒かったです。
乗船後すぐにウミガメやクジラは見れたのですが
肝心のイルカがなかなか見つからず船に揺られること4時間。
ようやくイルカが見つかりましたが、その頃には私は寒さと船酔いでダウン。
結局、私は海に入ることはなく船上でイルカウォッチングになりました。


【このツアーで気に入ったところ】
必ずイルカを見つけます!というスタッフさんの意志がすごいです。
その言葉通り、ほかのツアーはあまりの見つからなさに港へ引き返している中
イルカを見つけるためにあっちへ行きこっちへ行きしてくださいました。


【これから参加する人へのアドバイス】
船酔いする人は必ず!本当に必ず酔い止めの薬を飲んでください。
酔い止めの薬を販売することは出来ないので・・・と
船酔い防止のリストバンド(20ドル)を販売してくれますが
酔い止めの薬+リストバンドでも私は酔いました。
追加料金(10ドル?20ドル?)でウェットスーツを着てましたが
とにかく寒いです。4時間も北風に打たれると本当に寒いです。
海から上がったあとは別の組の男性が、こちらが心配になるくらい
血色がみるみる悪くなり震えが止まらなくなってました。

行きのバスは説明&ハワイの歴史を教えてくださっており
とても寝られる雰囲気ではありませんでしたが(いい意味でも悪い意味でも)
帰りのバスは乗ってすぐに写真販売の案内がありましたが
その後はゆっくり寝られるくらい車内が静かでした。
写真の値段を忘れてしまいましたが、バス車内でのお会計
もしくはオフィスにてお会計でしたのでオフィスに行く用事のない方は
少しばかりの現金を持ってくることをオススメします。
私は船酔いのバンド+ウェットスーツ+写真代+チップを支払ったので
結構な現金が必要になりました。持っててよかった~(笑)
チップに関しては下船前に「よかったと思ってくださる方は~」と
アナウンスがあり私と主人とで20ドル支払いましたが
意外とみなさん払われてないor5ドル程度の方が多かった印象です。
