All Reviews for Snorkeling Cruises & Tours

On the last day, I joined this tour to find a place to play in Honolulu in the morning. We took a boat from downtown Honolulu to a spot that wasn't too far away. Honestly, I thought it was a bit too close, but I was able to see at least three sea turtles! The water was a bit deep, so it wasn't incredibly clear, but the sea turtles were golden and divine! Moreover, I was able to see them come up to the surface for air, and at that moment, I was truly moved to be swimming so close to the sea turtles!

The cruising after snorkeling was just a slow ride around near Honolulu, so it wasn't particularly exciting, but I was very satisfied because I got to see the sea turtles!

最終日、午前中にホノルルで遊べるところを探してこのツアーに参加しました。ホノルルの中心部から船に乗って、それほど離れていないところまで移動、正直近すぎるポイントだなと思いましたが、ウミガメが少なくとも3頭見れました！少し水深は深いところなので海がめちゃめちゃキレイというわけではないのですが、ウミガメは金色で神々しい！しかも息継ぎに海面に顔を出すところまで見れて、その時にはほんとに間近でウミガメと泳ぐことが出来て感動です！
シュノーケリングした後のクルージングは、ホノルル近くをゆっくり走行しただけなので、それほど楽しいこともなかったのですが、ウミガメを見れたので大満足です！

It was a better tour than I had imagined. Regarding the meals, I was able to eat an appropriate amount, and although I thought it would taste bad, it was actually quite good. As for snorkeling, even as a couple with a 132-year-old, we were able to participate without feeling overwhelmed. I would like to book the tour again within the year.

想像してた以上に、良いツワーでした。
食事に関しては、適当量が食べられたのと、まずいと思ってましたが、食せる味でした。シュノーケリングですが、夫婦で１３２歳の年寄りでも負荷を感じづ参加することができました。年内に再度ツワーを申し込みたいです。

The staff, both at the reception and on the boat, were very friendly to us, even though we didn't understand much English. Unfortunately, at both important snorkeling points, there were only a few fish, which was disappointing. I wonder if it was due to the season or some timing issue? It was quite disappointing.

スタッフの皆さんは、受付の方も船の方も英語があまりわからない私達にとてもフレンドリーに対応してくれました。
重要なシュノーケルポイントの二ヶ所とも、チラホラと魚がいるぐらいで残念な感じでした。
時期的なものなのか？何かのタイミング的なものなのか？ガッカリでした。

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。

機会があればまた参加したいツアーです。

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.

But this tour is definitely worth it!

1人参加とても不安でしたが、とても楽しかったです！
今回本当に運が良く、3回泳ぎながらイルカを見ることができたし、帰りの船に近寄ってきて一緒に泳いで遊んでくれたので、とても感動しました！
次は、友人といきたいと思いました。

写真の時は、アテンドさんがお一人様参加の方ですねと大きくマイクで言われて呼ばれたので少し悲しい気分になりました。笑


でも、このツアーは間違いなしです！

- 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。

I participated with my family in their 80s, and it seems everyone had a great time. The hospitality from the staff and other participants was high, and we were blessed with good weather, making it comfortable. Tropical fish gathered around the food in our hands, and if you're lucky, you might see sea turtles swimming by your feet or right in front of you. I think it's also recommendable for elderly people.

**Notes:**
1. It's best to take motion sickness medication first thing in the morning before participating. A few people forgot to take it and got seasick.
2. After getting out of the water, it gets very cold on the boat, so regardless of age or health, everyone needs to wear beach towels, raincoats, or windbreakers to avoid getting cold.
3. Since it's bright, I think it would be good to bring sunglasses. If you have polarized sunglasses for fishing, you might be able to see into the water from the boat when it's sunny.

80代の家族と一緒に参加しました。とても楽しめたようでよかったです。
スタッフや参加者の方々のホスピタリティーも高く、天気にも恵まれたので快適でした。熱帯魚が手元の餌に群がり、運が良ければウミガメが足元の海底や目の前を泳いでいきます。高齢の方にもお勧めできると思います。

【注意】
①朝起きたら、まず酔い止め薬を飲んでから参加したほうがいいです。酔い止めを飲み忘れて何人か船酔いしていました。
②水から出た後、船上はとても寒いので年齢や体調に関わらず"全員"、ビーチタオルやレインコート、ウィンドブレーカーを着て体を冷やさないようにする必要があります。
③眩しいのでサングラスを持っていくとなおいいかと思います。釣り用の偏光サングラスがあれば、晴れていたら船上から海の中を見ることもできるかもしれません。

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！

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。

Had a wonderful experience, start to finish, thanks to this company’s wonderful staff! Very beautiful snorkeling adventure for a great price. Our agent, Ashton, did an outstanding job with our booking. Our driver for pickup and drop off was right on time and very professional and courteous.

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。

Absolutely a paradise of a sea!!
I think even those who are not good at swimming can enjoy it since you can stand.
There were even families with babies.
The shallowest part was about knee-deep.
For those who can swim, snorkeling allowed us to see sea turtles, and if you come to Oahu, you definitely shouldn't miss this!!
The snacks were delicious too.

まさしく天国の海！！
泳ぎ苦手な人でも足がつくので楽しめると思います。
赤ちゃん連れもいたくらい。
1番浅くて膝くらいでした。
泳げる人はシュノーケリングしてウミガメも見れましたし、オアフに来たら絶対これに参加しないと損！！
軽食も美味しかったです。

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！

Last time it was rainy, the sea was murky, and it wasn't good at all, so I joined the tour this time with high expectations. The weather was nice, the sea was beautiful, and I enjoyed the sandbar. It was really great.

前回は雨模様で、海が濁り、全然良くなかったので、今回は期待してツアーに参加しましたが、お天気が良く、海も綺麗で、サンドバーも楽しめました。
大変良かったです。

The snorkeling at Molokini Island has excellent visibility, but unfortunately, there are very few fish, and they are mostly small. The later cruise to see the sea turtles was canceled due to weather conditions. The staff members are kind and attentive, and the breakfast and lunch burgers are good.

モロキニ島のシュノーケルは、透明度抜群なるも、肝心の魚たちが少なくかつ小さなものばかり。後半のウミガメを見に行くクルージングも天候の関係でＯＵＴ。スタッフの皆さんは親切丁寧だし、朝食、ランチのハンバーガーもGOOD。

It was unfortunately rainy, but after a while, we were able to see some clear skies. I couldn't see anything at the first and second spots, but finally at the third location, I was able to see dolphins underwater! I was also happy to see sea turtles! We could see the swimming dolphins and sea turtles from the boat as well! The guide and all the staff on the boat were kind and friendly, and they really made the experience enjoyable! They even made a dolphin ring underwater for us! The sea was beautiful, and we saw a rainbow, making for a very fun time! I want to participate again and see even more dolphins next time!

あいにくの雨でしたが、しばらくしたら晴れ間も見られました。1回目、2回目のスポットでは私は見ることが出来ませんでしたが、3回目のところでようやく水中でイルカを見ることができました！ウミガメも見ることが出来て嬉しかったです！
泳いでいるイルカ、ウミガメも船からみることができました！ガイドのお姉さん、船に乗っているスタッフの方みんなが親切で優しく、盛り上げてくれました！
水中でドルフィンリングを作ってくれたりもしました！海も綺麗で、虹も見られ、とっても楽しい時間を過ごすことが出来ました！
また参加して今度はもっとたくさんイルカを見たいです！

I was able to see a lot of fish while snorkeling. The waves were high, so I couldn't go see the turtles, but I was able to snorkel for a long time, which was really great.

シュノーケリング中はたくさんの魚を見ることができました。
波が高く、亀を見に行くことはできませんでしたが、その分長時間シュノーケリングができ、とてもよかったです。

We participated with my husband, my mother-in-law, and my sister-in-law. A Japanese guide named Shota was with us.

It was challenging for my mother-in-law due to her leg issues, but the staff provided cheerful support when boarding and while she was seated, which we were truly grateful for.

I was thrilled to see wild dolphins and turtles!

However, I got a bit carried away and went down the boat slide, which left me with whiplash, making things difficult after returning home. I realized that in my 40s, I need to be more selective about activities as my body can't keep up.

Since we swam in the sea and got our swimsuits soaked, everyone changed in public restrooms after we docked before getting on the bus. I think it's better to bring a change of clothes.

The staff were bright and fun, making it a wonderful half-day experience!

私達夫婦と義母、義妹と参加しました。
日本人のしょうたさんがガイドでした。

義母が脚が悪く大変だったのですが、乗船する時や母が座っている時もスタッフの方々が明るくサポートして下さり、本当に有り難かったです。

野生のイルカと亀に会えて嬉しかったです！



調子に乗って、船の滑り台を滑ったらムチウチ状態になり、帰国から大変でした。40代はアクティビティを選ばないと身体がついていかないことを実感しました…

海で泳いで水着がびしょ濡れになるので、寄港してから皆さん公衆トイレで着替えてバスに乗っていました。着替えは持参された方が良いと思います。

スタッフの皆さん、明るく楽しく盛り上げてくれて半日満喫出来ました！

I took my son, daughter, and my son's two friends on this cruise for my son's birthday and they had a blast! The crew got them sized for their snorkels and fins and they had so much fun swimming with all the fish in the clear water! 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!

The sandbar was really beautiful!
I was able to encounter sea turtles while snorkeling!
The final lunch was delicious!

サンドバーはすごく綺麗でした！
シュノーケリングではウミガメにも出会うことができました！
最後のランチもおいしかったです！

I always use Dolphin University without fail. I've never missed seeing dolphins! I've never missed meeting a turtle! This time, there was a little incident that delayed our dolphin encounter, but we were able to see plenty of dolphins in the end. The incident was something I probably won't encounter again in my lifetime, so it ended up being a good resolution, and we all high-fived each other.

My son (8 years old) loves turtles and brought a turtle doll from Japan to dive with, showing the real turtle to the doll.

After that, during snorkeling, we received food to give to the fish, and many fish came to us.

The hamburger we had on the boat was also amazing! The staff were all high-energy and entertaining, making for a great time without any boredom.

I also purchased some photos.

If you have a GoPro, it's very convenient. You can take lots of great pictures. I had some excellent videos of the dolphins, but unfortunately, I couldn't upload them.

For those who are prone to seasickness, taking motion sickness medication is a must!

イルカ大学は毎回必ず利用します。

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.

野生のイルカシュノーケリング、30頭以上のイルカと遭遇しました。
シュノーケリングの時間もたくさんとって頂いて貴重な体験ができ、イルカの群れの中で泳ぐ事もできて最高でした。

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。
