Ocean Encounters Manta Ray Snorkel Tour - Sunset & Moonlight Cruise from Kona

Disappointing trip!

Reviewed by: J12021

It was not stated were We would go to for the Manta Ray night time snorkle. We assumed it would be in front of the SheratonKona and were disappointed it was at the secondary location. We saw one manta Ray for about three seconds and that was it. I would highly recommend going to one that is in front of the SheratonKona because we got back to our hotel and we could see them from the restaurant there!

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＞

Safe and comfortable! 安全快適！

Reviewed by: ふじこ

It was a stable ride compared to a Cessna, providing a sense of security and comfort, making for a wonderful experience. The moment I realized the pilot was Toshi Mochizuki, my sense of reassurance and anticipation doubled.

Although the lava flow had stopped, we were able to get much closer to the crater, and the cliffs viewed from the sea were truly volcanic islands. I was greatly impressed along with the Canadian family who joined me.

セスナと比べて安定した乗り心地、安心快適、素敵な体験でした。パイロットが、望月TOSHIさんだとわかった瞬間、安心感･期待感がさらに倍増。
熔岩の流れはストップしてましたが、その分、火口にもぐんと近付け、海から見る岸壁も火山島そのもの、同乗したカナダ人家族と一緒に大感激したのでした。

Hanauma Bay Self-Guided Snorkel Tour & Gear Rental with Hotel Transportation

Shuttle to snorkeling

Reviewed by: Jessi L

Our driver was amazing! He kept up a running commentary on all the best places to eat, names of plants, celebrity houses, the works. He was always willing to answer questions no matter how stupid they sounded. He gave up plenty of info on the area we would be snorkeling in and the best parts of the reef to visit. He unfortunately did not have a pair of prescription goggles that I could use (I forgot to mention when booking) but he let me know I could rent a pair at the bay to ensure that I could see all the wonders below the ocean. He also had underwater cameras for purchase which was a bonus!!!

10/10 I would totally book transportation to go snorkeling with this company again.

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's really cold! とにかく寒い！

Reviewed by: えりお

The sandbar didn't appear, and it was cold! If you're going in January, you might need to wear a wetsuit to enjoy it! Also, long sleeves and something to cover up are a must!

However, at the snorkeling spots, the cold disappeared, and I was able to observe the fish closely! The snorkeling staff were very kind and considerate, which was great!

Since the only drinks available were carbonated, if you're not a fan, it's better to bring your own water or tea! Also, for those with children, I recommend bringing something to eat for when they can't have a meal!

Participating in the tour became a wonderful memory thanks to the consideration of the guides!

サンドバーもあらわれず、寒いっ‼︎
1月に行かれる方はウェットスーツを着ないと楽しめないかも！あとは長袖と羽織るもの必須！
だけどもシュノーケルをするところでは、寒さがなくなり、魚をじっくり見れました！
シュノーケルの方々は凄く優しいですし、気遣ってくれてよかったです！
飲み物が炭酸しかないので苦手な方は水やお茶を持参した方がよいです！あとは子供連れの方は食べれない時に何か持っていくことをオススメします！
ツアー参加はツアーを案内してくれた方々の気遣いで良い思い出にはなりました！

I thought it was a sandbar... サンドバーだと思ったら……

Reviewed by: いちろー

I thought it was a sandbar, but the tide came in, and it turned into just a sandy shallow area. Given the season, it was cold just to have my feet in the water, so in the end, I went in the sea a bit and then waited on the boat. It should be mentioned in advance that this only happens during low tide, or that it will turn into a sandy shallow area.

サンドバーだと思ったら、潮が満ちて、単なる砂地の浅瀬になってた。季節柄、足だけ浸かってると寒いし、結局ちょっと海に入って後は船上で待機。引き潮の時に限るか、砂地の浅瀬になるということを事前に言っておくべき。

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＞

A miracle has happened!!! 奇跡が起きました！！！

Reviewed by: ゆっこ

I experienced snorkeling with wild dolphins for the first time. I love snorkeling, but I was very scared of the deep water and couldn't jump in until the third round when it looked a bit shallower, so I gathered my courage and jumped in. Even though I was still scared, I swam, and I was moved to see a pod of dolphins swimming in the distance!

In the fourth round, I decided to watch from the boat, and to my surprise, a pod of about 30 to 40 dolphins lined up right below the boat (within reach!) and swam alongside us for a long distance! I was so amazed that I kept saying, "Incredible!!! Incredible!!!" The tour guide mentioned that they had been doing this for a year, but this was their first time experiencing something like this! They were also saying, "Incredible!!!" along with me!

I had my phone in the back of the boat, and I thought if I left the spot, the dolphins would swim away, so unfortunately, I couldn't take any pictures. But I had a wonderful and precious experience!!! Thank you very much!

初めての野生のイルカとシュノーケリングを体験しました。
私はシュノーケリングは大好きなのですが、深いところがとても怖く
2ラウンドまで怖くて飛び込めませんでしたが、3ラウンド目に少し浅瀬に見えたので、勇気を出して飛び込みました。それでも怖いながらもがんばって
泳いでいるとイルカの群れがが遠くの方で泳いでるのが見え感動でした！
4ラウンド目には船の上から見ることにして眺めていると
なんと！　30～40ぐらいのイルカの群れが船の私のいる真下の先頭に横一列になり（手が届きそうな距離）ずっと船頭してくれたのです！！！
結構な距離をずっとです！
感激過ぎてずっと　すごい！！！すごい！！！とゆうばかり！！！
ツアーの方も１年いますけど、こんな体験は初めてです！と言ってました。
その方も私と一緒にすごい！！！と言っていました！
舩の奥に携帯があったのでその場をたつとどこかへ行ってしまうと思い
写真は残念ながらとることができなかったのが残念です。
でも素晴らしい貴重な体験ができました！！！

Participation in mid-winter (January) is also okay! 真冬（1月）の参加でもOK‼︎

Reviewed by: TOMY

Due to the large number of participants on the day of the tour, we were picked up by a large sightseeing bus. As a result, it didn't arrive at the meeting time, and I had to confirm by phone (the communication was in English, but they responded in simple English when I mentioned my name).

The air conditioning on the bus was very strong, and the airflow adjustment was broken. It would be better to have a light long-sleeve shirt.

When we arrived at the port, there was a toilet traffic jam, but they waited until the last person came out. (There are also toilets on the boat.) A very cheerful Black guide and a small, energetic Japanese guide provided explanations.

At the sandbar, there was a volleyball net set up, and we could play freely. It was a pity that there was only one ball...

Lunch was described as BBQ, but it was a hamburger made with meat patties grilled on the boat and served in a bun! It was quite filling, and if there were leftovers, you could get seconds!

We were able to see 7 to 9 sea turtles even in mid-January!

After snorkeling, warm drinks were provided, making it a very satisfying day.
*There is no place to change into swimsuits, so I recommend changing early on the boat's deck or in the restroom!

当日のツアー人数が多かったためなのか、大型の観光バスでのpickupでした。そのため集合時間になっても来ず、電話で確認しました（英語でののやり取りでしたが、名前を言うと簡単な英語で回答して下さいました。）

バスの中は冷房ガンガンで風量調整も壊れてました。薄手の長袖があるとベターです。

港に着くとトイレ渋滞が発生しましたが、最後の人が出てくるまで待ってくれます。（船にもトイレあります）
とても陽気な黒人ガイドさんと小柄で元気いっぱいの日本人ガイドさんが説明して下さいました。

サンドバーではバレーのネットが設置されており自由に遊ぶことができます。
ボールが1個しかなかったのが残念…。。

昼食はBBQと記載がありましたが、船で焼いたお肉のパティをパンで挟んで食べるハンバーガーでした！結構ボリュームもありましたが、余りがあればおかわりもできます‼︎‼︎

ウミガメは1月中旬でも7〜9匹見ることができました‼︎

シュノーケリング後、温かい飲み物も用意されており大満足の一日でした。
※水着を着替えるところはないので、船のデッキかトイレで早めに着替えることをお勧めします！

I wasn't able to swim with the sea turtles, but I was really happy to see so many of them. The staff members were all very nice, and I had a great time. The hamburger for lunch was delicious, with the patty freshly grilled. The sandbar was shallow, about knee-deep. I would like to visit again during a time when the tide is completely out. I wasn't very lucky with the snorkeling, as the water was murky and not very clear, but I could see colorful fish and coral reefs quite well.

ウミガメと一緒に泳ぐまでは出来なかったがたくさん見れて嬉しかった。スタッフの方々も良い方ばかりで楽しめた。ランチのハンバーガーもパティ焼き立てで美味しかった。サンドバーは浅いところで膝くらい。完全に潮が引く時期にも行ってみたい。シュノーケルは運が悪かったのか水が濁っていてあまりキレイとは言えなかったがカラフルな魚やサンゴ礁はよく見えた。

I read other people's comments before leaving my own. As everyone has mentioned, the staff's hospitality is amazing. Of course, the tour content is also fulfilling.

The staff enhances the experience with their thoughtful attention (they understand Japanese people well), making it even more enjoyable. Families with small children, young couples, and older individuals (like us!?) can all have a great time. It's no surprise that there are many repeat visitors. If given the opportunity, I would definitely like to participate again next time.

Reviewed by: UDTH

I was prepared for the rainy season, but on the day of the event, it was pouring rain and the temperature was low, so everyone participating was shivering as we entered the sea. However, the crew worked hard to lift our spirits and took a lot of photos for us. The snorkeling was affected by the weather, resulting in low visibility and a dark atmosphere, but we were able to see as many as four sea turtles! I would love to come back during the dry season and swim with the turtles again.

雨季なので覚悟はしていましたが、やはり当日は土砂降りの雨で、気温も低くく、参加者のみなさんみんなブルブルしながら海に入りました。
でも、クルーのみなさんが一生懸命盛り上げようとしてくださって、写真もたくさん撮ってくださいました。
シュノーケルも、天気のせいで透明度は低くく、暗い感じでしたが、ウミガメはなんと4頭も見ることが出来ました(^｡^)
また、乾季に来て亀と泳ぎたいと思います。

Reviewed by: mayapin

The bad weather from the previous day seemed like a lie, as we were greeted with beautiful sunny skies. It was warm and as stunning as a brochure. Last time, we chartered a motorboat, but this time we participated with nine family members. Captain Bruce was, as always, wonderful. The staff was kind, and Justin was very funny, inviting my mother, who is elderly and stayed on the boat without entering the water, to join in the fun, which made her very happy. The sandbar was just at low tide, shining and sparkling in the sunlight, and it was beautiful. Last time it was a bit cloudy, so this time we were very satisfied. However, it was disappointing that we didn't see many fish while snorkeling. Last time there were many coral reefs, and my daughter, who was in sixth grade at the time, swam comfortably and was amazed by the colorful fish, so the family participating for the first time was really looking forward to it. This time, the water was murky, and my daughter found it a bit scary to swim due to the lack of coral reefs, so she seemed to struggle and couldn't enjoy snorkeling. But it was touching to see sea turtles come close and right in front of us multiple times. If there’s another opportunity, I would definitely want to join Captain Bruce again.

前日までの悪天候が嘘のような晴天。暖かくてパンフレットのような美しさでした。前回は、モーターボートをチャーターしたのですが、今回は家族９人での参加でした。やはり、キャプテン・ブルースさんは素晴らしいです。スタッフの方は親切だし、ジャスティンさんはとても面白くて、高齢で海に入らず船の上で見学した母を笑いに誘って輪の中に入れてくださり、母もとても楽しそうでした。サンドバーはちょうど干潮でお日様に照らされキラキラと輝いていて、美しかったです。前回は少し曇っていたので今回は大満足。ただ、シュノーケリングでは魚があまり見れず残念。前回はサンゴ礁がたくさんあって、当時小学6年だった娘も安心して泳ぎ、色とりどりの魚がたくさん見れて感動したので、今回初めて参加する家族はとても楽しみにしていたのですが。今回は水が濁っていて、娘はサンゴ礁が少ないので少し怖くて泳ぐのに必死でシュノーケリングは楽しめなかったようです。でも、ウミガメが何度も近くにきて目の前で見れたのは感動的でした。
また、次があれば、絶対にキャプテン・ブルースさんに参加したいです。

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＞

Participation on January 7, 2019 (Iruka Junior High School) 2019.1.7（イルカ中学）参加

Reviewed by: ハネムーン野郎

Julie, our guide, was very cheerful and taught us a lot about marine life, such as dolphins and orcas, during the bus ride. Before we knew it, we arrived at our destination. Although it was early in the morning and I felt sleepy, I recommend listening to Julie's stories as they are informative and interesting.

On the boat, we learned how to use life jackets and snorkels, as well as safety precautions for swimming, and it was simple enough for children to understand. We reached the area where the dolphins were located in about five minutes. I think we were lucky to find them at the first spot since their locations change daily. It is illegal to approach the dolphins closely, so you can't swim right next to them like you see on TV. Instead, you get to see a pod of dolphins swimming right beneath you. They come close enough that you can clearly see their patterns. We also got to see them jump. Next, we moved to the area where the turtles were. I think we saw about four of them. I was thrilled to swim alongside the turtles at a distance where I could reach out and touch them (though touching them is also prohibited).

I tend to get seasick, so I was a bit anxious, but I took some motion sickness medication, so I was fine. The waves were calm, so I don't think anyone got seasick that day. On the return trip, Julie shared stories about Hawaii's history and gave a hula dance lesson, and the crew kept us entertained, leaving no time to feel nauseous.

It was a very enjoyable day swimming with dolphins and turtles, creating memories for a lifetime. Thank you very much.

【For Participants】
1. Tips are necessary (cash only)
Tips are not included in the fee, so you will need to pay them upon return. The standard is about 10-15% of the fee, and tips are also expected for optional tours. Whether tips are included in the fee is clearly stated in the details on Veltra (though sometimes it may not be specified). The fee is paid to the tour company, while tips are given to the crew as a gesture of gratitude, so please pay them willingly.

2. Touching or approaching marine animals is prohibited by law
It seems that someone occasionally checks for violators from the shore using a drone.

3. It's better to leave photography to the professionals
If you're too focused on taking pictures, you might miss out on enjoying the view with your own eyes. You can buy photos taken by professionals for $50. While taking your own photos can save money, the skills of the professionals are overwhelmingly superior.

4. A wetsuit is essential in January
Everyone rented one. Fortunately, it wasn't too cold that day, so wearing a wetsuit kept me warm both in the water and on the boat.

5. It's okay if you can't swim
As long as you wear a life jacket, you just need to be able to kick your legs. For those who are still anxious, they provide floating aids for free. Even if you're not confident in your stamina, using a floating aid makes swimming much easier.

【To the Operating Company】
1. Please clearly state the prohibition on bringing bananas and banana-themed items
We were told on the bus that bananas were not allowed, but if someone had brought a towel or swimsuit with a banana pattern, there would be no way to use them on the boat. It seems that bananas are considered unlucky among Hawaiian boaters, but many Japanese people may not be aware of this. In the past, someone brought bananas, and it caused various issues, but it's sad that one person's ignorance can inconvenience everyone.

2. I would like everyone to do warm-up exercises together
When the bus arrived at the beach, the guide said, "Please do warm-up exercises after getting off the bus," but some people did and some didn't. Some who went to the restroom didn't have time to do them. My husband, who didn't have enough time to warm up, said in the water, "I think I'm going to cramp." While it may seem like a hassle, I would appreciate it if everyone could be required to do warm-up exercises together to prev

ガイドのジュリーさんはとても明るく、バスの中ではイルカやシャチなど海の生物についてたくさん教えてくれ、楽しい話を聞いてるうちにあっという間に目的地に着きました。朝が早くて眠いとは思いますが、ジュリーさんの話は知識になって面白いので聞かれることを勧めます。
船の中では、ライフジャケット・シュノーケルの使い方、泳ぐ際の注意点を習い、子供でもわかるくらい簡単でした。船に乗って5分くらいでイルカがいる場所につきました。イルカの居場所は毎日変わるそうなので、最初のポイントで見つかったのは運が良かったと思います。イルカに近づくことは法律で禁止されているので、テレビで見るようにイルカの隣にぴったりくっついで泳ぐことはできません。自分の真下をイルカの群れが泳いでいくのを見る感じです。イルカの模様がはっきり見えるくらい近い距離で泳いでくれます。イルカがジャンプするのも見れました。次に亀がいる場所に移動します。4匹くらい見れたと思います。手を伸ばせば届く距離を亀と並行して泳げたのは嬉しかったです。（亀も触るの禁止）
私は酔いやすいタイプなので不安でしたが、酔い止めを飲んだので大丈夫でした。波も落ち着いていたので当日酔った人はいなかったと思います。帰りの船では、ジュリーさんによるハワイの歴史の話やフラダンス講座があったり、常にクルーが色々と笑わせてくれるので酔う暇はありません。
イルカや亀と泳げて一生の思い出になるとても楽しい一日でした。ありがとうございました。
【参加者へ】
①チップが必要（現金のみ）
料金にチップを含まないので帰りにチップを払うことになります。相場は料金の10～15％くらいで、オプショナルツアーにもチップがかかります。料金にチップが含まれているかどうかはベルトラの詳細を見れば明記されています。（たまに明記されていないツアーもありますが）料金はツアー会社へ支払われるもので、チップはクルーへ感謝の気持ちとして支払うものなので快く支払いましょう。
②海の生き物に触る、近づくことは法律により禁止
監視する人がたまに陸からドローンを海上に飛ばして違反者がいないかチェックしているそうです。
③写真はプロに任せた方がいい
カメラで撮ることに夢中になるくらいなら肉眼で思う存分見た方がいいと思います。プロが撮影した写真を50ドルで買えます。自分で撮れば節約になりますが、プロの技術には圧倒的に敵いません。
④1月はウェットスーツは必須
全員がレンタルしていました。幸い、当日はそこまで寒くなかったのでウェットスーツを着ていれば海中でも船上でも全く寒くはかなったです。
⑤泳げなくても大丈夫
ライフジャケットを着用するので、バタ足さえできれば大丈夫です。それでも不安な人には無料で浮き棒をレンタルしてくれます。体力に自信が無くても浮き棒を使えば楽に泳げます。
【催行会社へ】
①バナナ及びバナナの絵等の持込禁止について明記してほしい
当日バスの中でNGと言われましたが、バナナ模様のタオルや水着を持ち込んでいた場合、船で使うしどうしようもないです。ハワイの船乗りの間ではバナナは不吉なものらしいですが、日本人は知らない人が多いと思います。過去にバナナを持ち込んだ人がいて色々大変だったそうですが、知らないがためにその一人のせいで全員に迷惑がかかるのは悲しいです。
②準備運動は全員でしてほしい
バスが海についたときにガイドさんから「バスを降りたら準備運動してね」と言われましたが、ちゃんとする人もいればしない人もいました。トイレに行った人の中には時間がなくてできなかった人もいます。準備運動の時間が短くしっかりできなかった旦那は海の中で「足がつりそう」って言っていました。面倒ではあると思いますが、参加者が楽しく泳げるように全員で一緒に強制的に準備運動をさせることでそういうトラブルを未然に防ぐようにしてもらえたら嬉しいです。
③チップ込みの料金にしてほしい
チップ文化のない日本人の中にはチップを「取られる」と考える人がいます。（過去の書き込みで何件かチップへの不満があったので）また、相場がわからず、支払いの時に困る人もいます。（別のツアーですが「チップをいくらにすればいいの？」とこっそり相談を受けたことがあります）チップは感謝の気持ちであって、ツアーに満足すれば多めにしたり、不満なら減らしたりするものだというのはわかりますが、クレジットカードを持っている人は現金をあまり持ってこないので、急に言われたら困ると思います。チップ込みにしている他社は口コミ見たところチップへの不満をもつ利用者はいなかったし、なじみのない日本人にとってはチップ込みの方が助かります。チップのせいで☆が減るのは不本意だと思うのでご検討頂けたらと思います。

Captain Bob's Kaneohe Sandbar Snorkeling Tour & BBQ Lunch with Waikiki Pickup

VERY FUNNY AND BEAUTIFUL EXPERIENCE, WITH GOOD VIBES FROM ALL THE CREW IN A SECRET HAWAIIAN GEM.

Reviewed by: Javier

First of all, SANDBAR is one of the most beautiful places you’ll see. I’m not sure why is not in top 10 activities from Hawaii, but they told is more a local secret. Is a kind of mini beach in the middle of the ocean, with sand, you can bring your speaker, chairs, or whatever. Is a magic place.

The crew was full of good vibes, they made hamburgers for us and they also bring a guitar and make a great moment with that view. After the first stop at the sand bar they took us to snorkel and wauuu, such a nice place to do this, with giant turtles and a lot of fishes.

I have no bad comments for this one, was one my tops, and we do A LOT of activities this time. Trust us, you have to visit the Sandbar, and Captain Bob’s is a great choice to do this!

This tour gave everything we wanted and more in only two hours. Not only did we see 7-8 turtles swimming right under us for 45 mins to an hour, but we also saw whales jumping around after when we were sailing around on the boat. Our tour guides were really friendly and followed the whales for a while for us to see. It was pretty amazing! I’d definitely recommend this tour for anyone even though it’s expensive. It’s totally worth it! My only regret was not buying a go pro or underwater camera because we didn’t get any pictures. So keep that in mind that the company don’t take professional pics for you to purchase, you need to take your own.

ウミガメシュノーケリング　ホロカイ・カタマラン号　高確率でウミガメに会えるタートルキャニオンへ！ソフトドリンク&スナック付き＜3時間／英語／ワイキキホテル発＞

Encounter with a mother and baby honu (sea turtle). ホヌの親子に遭遇

Reviewed by: HAWAII

I was looking for a half-day tour and found this snorkeling tour! Once on the boat, the cheerful and handsome staff explained the safety instructions and other details. Since everything was in English, they asked if I was Japanese and provided me with information tailored for Japanese participants.

Onboard, drinks and snacks were available for purchase. They also had sunscreen available for free use. As noted in other reviews, most participants were foreigners.

I was able to swim freely while snorkeling for nearly an hour. A turtle came right up close! It seemed like the staff was feeding it. I even encountered a mother and baby turtle, which was a great experience.

After that, we went sailing and enjoyed the wind while taking lots of great photos with Diamond Head in the background!!

It was so much fun!

半日でできるツアーを探していてこのシュノーケルツアーを見つけました！
船に乗ったら陽気なイケメンスタッフ達が注意事項やその他諸々説明してくれました。終始英語だったので、日本人？と聞かれ、日本人用の説明事項をくださいました。
船上では飲み物やスナックも販売。日焼け止めは自由に使っていいよと置いてありました。
他の体験談も記載の通り、参加者はほぼ外国人です。

シュノーケルは1時間近く自由に泳げました。すぐ近くにカメがやってきます。スタッフの方が餌をあげているようでした。カメの親子にも遭遇でき、よい体験でした。

そのあとセイリングも風を感じながらダイヤモンドヘッドをバックに良い写真がたくさん取れました！！

たのしかったです！

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＞

The sea in November is cold... 11月の海は寒い...

Reviewed by: ももも

We departed at 5:30 AM, but the guide was very upbeat and explained everything well, which made me feel at ease participating. I was lucky to see dolphins right after entering the water! A dedicated underwater photographer took many pictures, so I didn't really need to take my own. There were jellyfish, and the sea in November is cold, so I rented a wetsuit (long-sleeved, knee-length) on the day. A few people experienced seasickness, so it's better to prepare some motion sickness medication. It gets cold after coming out of the water, so a windbreaker is essential. The restroom before boarding the boat is a portable toilet, so please bring your own tissue.

朝5：30出発であったが、ガイドさんのテンションが非常に高くて、説明も上手く、安心して参加できた。
海に入って、すぐイルカに会えたのでラッキーだった！
写真は専属の水中カメラマンがたくさん撮ってくれたので、特に自分で撮る必要はなかった。
クラゲがいるし、11月の海は寒いので、ウェットスーツ（長袖・膝丈）を、
当日借りた。
船酔い・波酔いが数名いたので、酔い止めは準備をした方が良い。
海から上がると寒いので、ウィンドブレーカーは必須。
船に乗る前のトイレは、仮設トイレなのでティッシュは持参です。

ウミガメシュノーケリング　ホロカイ・カタマラン号　高確率でウミガメに会えるタートルキャニオンへ！ソフトドリンク&スナック付き＜3時間／英語／ワイキキホテル発＞

Of course, there are sea turtles and even dolphins! ウミガメはもちろんイルカまで！

Reviewed by: ちょこちゃん

I wanted to do some activities in the ocean, so I signed up. I was able to see sea turtles while snorkeling! There were three of them, and one even came up to the surface, which was such a delightful moment.

Just when I thought it was over with the sea turtles, we moved further out to sea after getting back on the boat and were able to see wild dolphins! They also served beer and snacks on the boat, which was fantastic!

海に入るアクティビティがしたく、申し込みました。シュノーケリングでウミガメが見れました！しかも3頭いてそのうちの1頭が水面まで上がってくるという嬉しい場面もありました。
さらにウミガメで終わりかと思いきや海から船に上がったあとさらに沖まで移動し、野生のイルカまで見ることが出来ました！船内ではビールやスナックもサービスで出してくれるし最高でした！

Four Winds Deluxe Molokini Snorkel Tour with Breakfast, Taco Bar Lunch & Drinks

Best Boating excursion EVER!

Reviewed by: Canada Robert

We were lucky that it was a beautiful day on the water. Everything was perfect! We saw so many whales we couldn't keep up with which side of the boat they were breaching on. Our "Captain Dan" was the most amazing host. He provided a lot of insight into the whales (their behaviour, etc), the surrounding area & history, the crew on the boat and even his own life. It wouldn't have been the same without him onboard. Thanks, "Lieutenant Dan"!! Riley was an excellent bar keep and equipment manager. I don't remember the names of the rest but all were so professional and accommodating. Snorkelling on the Molokini for a newbie like my wife was a breeze thanks to ALL of them. Will definitely book this again when we go back to Maui.

モロキニ島シュノーケリングクルーズ ＜朝・昼食付／現地集合＞

There's nothing we can do about the weather... 天気ばかりは仕方ない・・・

Reviewed by: K-point

I was looking forward to Molokini, but unfortunately, the weather was bad with rain the day before. The sky was covered with thick, dull clouds, and the sea didn't shine brightly. There weren't as many fish as I had hoped, but I did encounter sea turtles. After snorkeling, I enjoyed the resort atmosphere with free drinks, including beer. I was a bit surprised that the transportation was a taxi, and I didn't realize it was for us right away.

楽しみにしていたモロキニでしたが、前日も雨であいにくの天気。どんより厚い曇に覆われ、明るく輝く海とはなりませんでした。魚の数は期待したほど多くはありませんでしたが、海亀には遭遇出来ました。シュノーケリング後はフリードリンクでビールも飲めてリゾート気分を味わえました。送迎がタクシーだったのはちょっとビックリで、自分たちの出迎えと直ぐには分かりませんでした。
