All Reviews for Snorkeling Cruises & Tours

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♪

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。

I was worried about the cloudy weather, but luckily, during our first entry into the water, we were able to see a pod of about five dolphins. Some people even had dolphins come very close to them. The instructor mentioned that it was truly a lucky day. Since there were participants who hadn’t seen dolphins a few days prior, I believe the chance of seeing them and how many you see is completely based on luck.

Since it was early in the morning, some people were sleeping during the explanation on the bus, but I think it’s better to stay awake as they discuss safety on the water and what’s necessary to see the dolphins. Thanks to that, I was able to enjoy the experience with peace of mind.

The snorkeling after dolphin watching was also fun, as we got to see turtles and fish. The visibility was somewhat low, possibly due to the weather, but it was very moving.

Since swimming requires stamina, I got tired while taking a break with my companion, and it was a bit disappointing that the goggles and fins were put away early. Since it’s something you put in your mouth, I thought borrowing them again might mean using ones that others had just used, so we rested on the boat instead, which might have helped conserve our energy. After everyone got out of the water, almost everyone was exhausted and sleeping on the bus.

The hamburger wasn’t particularly delicious, but I think they did a good job providing snacks and drinks that could be prepared on the boat. The staff were very cheerful and made it the most enjoyable activity of my stay in Hawaii. Their attitude towards caring for the ocean and its creatures, as well as their effort to entertain the guests, was wonderful. I absolutely recommend it. There were many repeat visitors, and I also thought I would definitely want to repeat this experience if I come back to Hawaii.

You’ll definitely want photos, so it might be good to bring cash for that. I paid for the fee while I was at the office to pick up my souvenir. On chilly days, they recommend renting wetsuits, so it might be wise to bring cash for that as well.

曇り空で心配でしたが、運良く一回目の入水で5匹程のイルカの群れを見ることができました。間近までイルカが来ている方もいました。インストラクターも本当にラッキーな日だと言っていました。数日前に見れなかった方も参加していたので、実際に見れるか・どれくらい見れるかは完全に運だと思います。
朝早いのでバス内での説明の時に寝ている人もいましたが、海上での安全とイルカを見るために必要なことを話しているのでしっかり起きていた方がいいと思います。おかげで安心して体験できました。
イルカ鑑賞後のシュノーケリングでもカメや魚を見れて楽しかったです。天気のせいかやや透明度は低かったですが、とても感動的でした。
泳ぐのに体力が必要なので疲れてしまった連れと休憩に上がっていたら、ゴーグルとフィンを早々と片付けられてしまったのは唯一残念でした。口にくわえるものなのでもう一度借りても他の人が使ったばかりのものかも…と思い、そのまま船上で休憩しましたが、かえって体力温存にはなったかもしれません。みんな海から上がった後はくたびれていて、バス内でもほぼ全員寝ていました。
ハンバーガーは特に美味しくはありませんでしたが、船上で準備できるものとしてはスナックや飲み物など含めて十分頑張られていると思います。
スタッフの皆さんがとても陽気に盛り上げてくれて、ハワイ滞在の中で一番楽しいアクティビティになりました。海と海の生き物を大切にする姿勢、お客さんを楽しませようという姿勢が素晴らしかったです。絶対におススメです。リピーターも多く、私もまたハワイに来たら是非リピートしたいと思いました。
写真も絶対に欲しくなりますので、その分の現金は持っていっていいかも。私は記念品をもらいにオフィスに行くついでに料金を支払いました。
肌寒い天気の日はウェットスーツのレンタルを勧められるので、その分の現金も持って行った方がよいかもしれません。

The guide was really great at getting everyone excited, and it was so much fun from start to finish! We were able to see a lot of sea turtles and also saw many fish while snorkeling! We took plenty of photos, creating wonderful memories—just the best!!

We could also use the SUP and canoe, so we never got bored during our free time! The lunch, including Leonard's donuts, was fantastic! I definitely want to use this service again!!! Thank you so much!☆

ガイドさんもすごく盛り上げ上手でスタートから
終わりまでとっても楽しかった！＾＾
ウミガメもたくさん見ることができ、シュノーケルでも沢山の魚を見ることができました！
たくさん写真も撮ってもらうことができ、
素敵な思い出を残せて最高！！☆

SUPやカヌーも利用でき、自由時間も退屈することはありませんでした！
お昼ご飯、レナーズのドーナツも最高でした！
また利用したいと思います！！！＾＾
ありがとうございました！☆

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。

My clients said they saw about 60 bottlenose dolphins. They said it was the most incredible experience!

This is why people come to Hawaii for a vacation and adventure. Today we had an awesome time from start to finish. Both Laura and T. from Ohio ( forgive not knowing how to spell his name) were absolutely the best. Very easygoing, sociable, and very informative about the excursion, the ecosystem and all it encompasses. We could see the passion they both have for the environment. They worked well as a team, always putting safety first.
As for the the actual excursion... Pickup was on time, the briefing was short but thorough. And off we went. We were towed out to a point (to save time) then we were cut loose to follow our leader out to our destination. Once there, they reviewed the do's and don'ts regarding the ecosystem and its inhabitants. We snorkeled for over an hour while our guides educated us about all the different things we were seeing. Once done we kayaked back the the shore, rinsed off and sat down for an impressive lunch. (thanks to the cook) YUMMY
Sad to say it was over... highly recommend this tour, company and crew!!!

A big Thank You to all,
Chuck and Holly Romero

We all participated in a wedding in Hawaii with both families. There were about 10 of us in total, and everyone was extremely satisfied with the experience!

We were thrilled to see sea turtles and were amazed by the mysterious scenery of the sandbar. The snorkeling allowed us to see plenty of fish, creating wonderful memories. Although I couldn't eat much, I definitely want to participate again!

ハワイでウェディングした時に両家みんなで参加しました。
総勢10名くらいで、全員大満足な内容でした！

ウミガメも見えて大はしゃぎし、サンドバーの不思議な光景に圧巻。
シュノーケリングも十分魚たちが見えてとてもいい思い出です。
食事はそんなに食べられなかったけど、また参加したいなと思います！

I played beach volleyball at Angel's Beach.
I had a great interaction with foreign visitors.
I was also able to see sea turtles.

天使の海でビーチ・バレーをしました。
外国人の人たちと楽しい触れ合いができました。
またウミガメも見る事ができました。

I participated in the morning sandbar tour and explored Kailua. The water level at the sandbar was a bit high, around waist-deep, but it wasn't a concern. During snorkeling, I was able to see sea turtles, and the scenery was very beautiful. I wonder if the water level varies seasonally.

I also enjoyed exploring Kailua thoroughly in the afternoon. It was a very sunny day, but the cold water service on the way back was a great help.

The staff members were the friendliest and most pleasant I encountered during my stay. I highly recommend this experience. I'm considering joining the early morning tour next time.

朝イチではないら午前中のサンドバー+カイルア散策に参加。
サンドバーは水位が腰くらいで少し高めでしたが、気になりませんでした。シュノーケリングではウミガメを見ることもでき、とても綺麗な風景でした。水位については季節的なものもあるのでしょうか。
カイルア散策も午後から十分に楽しむことができました。とても日差しが強い日でしたが帰りに冷たい水のサービスがあり助かりました。

スタッフの方々は今回の滞在期間中で1番親しみやすく、感じが良い方ばかりでした。
とてもオススメです。次は朝イチのツアーにも参加してみようか検討中です。

I suddenly participated with my one-year-old grandchild. When I called to confirm the day before, I was told that it was fine for babies to join. It was a very kind tour. I would like to participate again.

急遽１歳の孫を連れて参加。前日に電話で確認をしたところ、赤ちゃんも参加大丈夫とのことでした。とても優しいツアーです。また参加したいです。

I finally participated in the sandbar that I had been curious about every time I went to Hawaii but had never visited before! Although I couldn't see the sandy beach like in pictures or on TV, that's due to the tides, so it can't be helped. Still, the shallowest part was about knee-deep, which felt strange since it was in the middle of the ocean. During our free time, I skipped snorkeling and focused solely on stand-up paddleboarding (SUP). It was so much fun to stand on the board and paddle for the first time! Turtles also came close to the boat, and they were adorable. The brunch was incredibly delicious! This became my favorite memory from this trip to Hawaii. I'm glad I participated.

ハワイに行く度に気にはなりつつ行った事が無かったサンドバー。今回遂に参加しました！テレビや写真で見るような砂浜は見れませんでしたが、潮の関係なのでこれは仕方ないですね。それでも1番浅い所は膝ぐらいで海の真ん中なのに不思議な感じでした。自由時間はシュノーケルはパスしてひたすらSUPです。ボードに初めて立てて漕げて楽しかった〜。亀も船の周りに寄ってきてくれて可愛かったです。そしてブランチがとっても美味しかった！今回のハワイでの1番の思い出になりました。参加して良かったです。

We participated as a couple. Knowing that the sandbar's experience depends on the tides, we researched the low tide days in August back in April and made our reservation. Due to time constraints, we couldn't experience the magazine-like sandbar with water levels up to our knees, and the weather was cloudy, which was a bit disappointing. However, as soon as we arrived, a small honu greeted us, and we were very moved.

During snorkeling, we were surrounded by three large honu resting on the coral and colorful fish. We also got to try stand-up paddleboarding (SUP), which we had been interested in for a while, and enjoyed a lunch that was plentiful and delicious, allowing us to forget the stress of Japan in an instant. (The shrimp was especially tasty!)

The crew was fluent in Japanese and very cheerful, and there were thoughtful arrangements and menus for families with small children, making it a tour that families can enjoy with peace of mind. As a couple, we accidentally mixed up the lunch order for different boats, but they responded with a smile saying, "No Problem!" which has become a nice memory for us.

On the round-trip flight, we saw honu, and we even encountered real honu in the beautiful sea, making this trip to Hawaii all about honu.

夫婦での参加です。サンドバーは潮の満ち引きがポイントと言うことを知り、４月時点でに８月の干潮日を調べて申し込みました。時間の関係もあり、参加日は膝下程度の水位で雑誌のようなサンドバーを体験することはできず天気も曇りで少々残念でしたが、到着するとすぐに小さなホヌが出迎えてくれ、とても感激してしまいました。
シュノーケリングでは、サンゴで休む３匹の大きなホヌや色とりどりの魚たちに囲まれ、以前から興味があったSUPも夫婦で体験でき、更におかわり自由な量と味もバッチリなランチを楽しみ、一瞬にして日本のストレスを忘れることができました。（…特にエビは美味しかったなぁ。）
クルーは皆日本語が堪能でとても愉快、小さなお子さんでも楽しめるような工夫やメニューも見受けられ、家族連れで安心して楽しめるツアーだと思います。うっかり夫婦の私たちは、船別のランチの順番を間違えてしまいましたが、No Problem！と笑顔で返していただいたこと、いい思い出となっています。
往復の飛行機もホヌ、そしてきれいな海では本物のホヌに会うこともでき、今回のハワイ旅行はホヌ三昧でした。

I had an early pickup at 6 AM, but when I woke up, it was already 5:51 AM!! I hurriedly got dressed and left my room, and somehow managed to make it in time for the pickup. On the bus ride there, the guide's fun explanations kept me awake and alert. When we arrived at the port, the sea was calm with hardly any waves, which surprised the guide as well. Shortly after departing, we spotted dolphins. Although the water was murky, we were able to see the dolphins without them ever coming on board. We were thrilled to see the dolphins spinning and jumping around happily. After that, we also got to see a huge turtle that looked like a rock.

The captain and crew were very kind and helpful. They guided my mother, who was snorkeling in deep water for the first time, and she was able to swim without any issues. She had been worried about swimming and seasickness, but she seemed to get used to it and was satisfied by the end. I, on the other hand, felt a bit unwell towards the end, possibly due to lack of sleep since I arrived in Hawaii the day before. I think it's better to get enough rest and prepare your body beforehand. As for photos, I was so focused on watching the dolphins that I didn't have the chance to take many. Therefore, I mostly took pictures on the boat. A professional photographer accompanied us and took photos of the dolphins, turtles, and participants. It was $50 for data sent via email and $60 for a USB purchase. Payment can be made on the day or later at the office. It is a bit pricey, but since it includes photos you can't take yourself, I think it's worth it as a keepsake. If you're considering purchasing, I recommend actively asking for photos.

Also, for those who are sensitive to the cold or worried about sunburn, I think it's better to rent a wetsuit ($10 per person). Lastly, since I also tipped, I suggest bringing extra money if you're thinking about buying photos or renting a wetsuit. I almost missed out on the tour, but I'm glad I made some great memories. If I go to Hawaii again, I would definitely want to repeat this experience. Mahalo!!

朝が早く6時にピックアップでしたが、目覚めると5時51分!!
急いで着替えて部屋を出て、何とかピックアップの時間には間に合いました。
行きのバスの中では、ガイドさんの楽しい説明があり眠気など飛んでいきました。港に着くと、波がほとんどなく穏やかな海でガイドさんもびっくりしていました。出港後、すぐにイルカを発見。海が濁っていたため少し視界は悪かったですが、一度も船に上がることなく終始イルカを見ることができました。また、ご機嫌なイルカ先生のスピンやジャンプもたくさんみれて大興奮でした。その後は、岩のように大きなカメも見ることができてました。
船のキャプテン、クルーの方々もとても親切で良かったです。深い海でのシュノーケルが始めての母を誘導していましたが、特に問題なく泳ぐことができました。母は、泳ぎや船酔いの心配をしていましたが、途中から慣れてきて満足できたようです。私は、参加したのがハワイ到着日の翌日で寝不足もあってか最後に気分が悪くなってしまいました。そのため、十分に睡眠をとり体調を整えていたほうが良いと思います。写真に関しては、イルカさんを見るのに必死で取る余裕がなかったです。そのため、海の中ではほとんど撮らず船の上で撮りました。プロのカメラマンさんが同行しているので、イルカやカメさん、参加者の写真を撮影してくれます。メールへのデータ送信であれば50ドル、USBの購入であれば60ドルでした。支払いは、当日でも、後日オフィスへ支払いに行っても大丈夫です。少し値は張りますが、自分では撮れない写真も含まれているので記念になると思います。購入を考えている方は自分から積極的に写真を撮てもらうといいと思います。あと、寒さに弱い方や日焼けが気になる方は、ウエットスーツをレンタル（１人10ドル）したほうがいいと思います。
最後にチップも支払ったため、写真の購入やウエットスーツのレンタルを考えている方は、その分のお金は持参したほうがいいと思います。
危うくツアーに参加しそびれるところでしたが、いい思い出ができてよかったです。また、ハワイに行くことがあれば是非リピートしたいと思います。
マハロ!!

Watching the sunrise at the sandbar was great, but the snorkeling was limited to just masks and snorkels without fins, and it was only for those who can swim a certain distance using a breaststroke. I have a diving license, but I'm not good at breaststroke, so I didn't participate in the snorkeling, which I was looking forward to. It says on the Veltra website that only those who can swim on their own can participate in snorkeling, but I would like them to specify that it requires being able to swim well using a breaststroke. I regretted that there are other tour companies that do provide fins for rent.

You cannot board the boat wearing flip-flops, so I recommend wearing reef shoes from the hotel, bringing seasickness medication, putting your phone in a waterproof case, and wearing a rash guard to prevent sunburn.

I will upload a picture of the breakfast. It was sufficient for a breakfast. After it was over, I put on clothes over my swimsuit and returned to the hotel without taking a shower.

サンドバーで朝日をみるところまでは良かったのですが、シュノーケリングは、マスクとシュノーケルのみ貸し出しで、フィンの貸し出し無しで、平泳ぎである程度泳げる人限定でした。
私はダイビングライセンスは持ってますが、平泳ぎは苦手。楽しみにしていたシュノーケリングには参加しませんでした。
ベルトラさんには、シュノーケリングはご自身で泳げる方のみが参加いただけます、と書いてありますが、きちんと平泳ぎで泳げる方と書いていただきたいです。
フィンも貸し出している他のツアー会社もあるみたいで後悔しました。
ビーチサンダルでは乗船できないので、リーフシューズをホテルから履いていくこと、酔い止め薬持参、携帯は防水ケースに入れていく、日焼け防止にラッシュガードを着ていくとよいと思います。
朝食は画像をアップします。朝食としては充分です。
終わったら、シャワーは浴びず水着の上から服を着てホテルに戻りました。

I was able to swim with wild dolphins and sea turtles! This was the best time. The sea and mountains were beautiful. The staff were Japanese, and I thought their easy-to-understand talk and performance were great. This tour is worth it.

野生のイルカやウミガメと一緒に泳げた！これは、最高の時間でした。海も山も綺麗きれいキレイ。スタッフの方が日本人で、わかりやすいトーク&パフォーマンスも良かったと思います。このツアーは、価値ありです。

We had an early morning pickup. We drove in the dark and headed to the coast while watching the sunrise. I thought we would only see turtles and dolphins from a distance. We missed the dolphins, but surprisingly, a turtle came up from the seabed right in front of us and almost collided with us! The photos we purchased separately were attached to an email, and it’s clear that professional shots are better. There were turtles and dolphins captured from positions other than ours. Oh, and the spam onigiri for a light snack was delicious. I've had many, but it was very much to the taste of Japanese people. I wonder where they sell it? Custom-made? I would love to participate again. Thank you, dolphins and everyone!

朝早いピックアップでした。暗いうちに走り朝日見ながら海岸へ行きました。 かめイルカ遠目にみるぐらいだろうなーと思っていました。 イルカはタイミングあいませんでしたがかめはなんと私たち前に海底から上がってきてぶつかりそうで避けました。別購入の写真はメール添付なのでやはりプロが撮ったほうがいいですね。自分たち以外の位置のかめやイルカが映ってました。 あっ軽食のスパムおにぎり美味しかったです。数々食べてますがとても日本人向け。どこに売ってるんだろ？特注？ また参加したいです。 いるかさん皆さんありがとう！

My friend and I did this activity last week and it was so much fun! Perfect thing to do on your day off or if you are vacationing in Hawaii. So many activities to do on one boat, you can't beat it! All of the employees were very kind and happily helped us when we asked to use kayaks/paddleboards, etc. Highly recommended!

If you come to the Big Island, you definitely want to go on the dolphin snorkeling tour.

I had heard that it's not easy to see them up close these days, but they searched until we found them, and I was able to go snorkeling three times!

Thank you, Aki and Jesse! I want to come back again!!!

ハワイ島に来たら、是非行きたかったイルカシュノーケリングツアー。

最近はなかなか近くで見られないと事前に伺ってましたが、
見られるまで探していただき、3度のシュノーケリングをすることが出来ました！

アキさん、ジェシー
ありがとうございました。また伺いたいです！！！

My third-grade daughter also participated. I was a bit worried because she isn't very good at swimming, but she was full of curiosity and I had no worries at all. We offered a prayer and headed to the spot on a beautiful boat. We jumped into the sea and followed the leader! We swam quite a bit and got to see some adorable dolphins. This became the best memory of our trip. Floating in the sea, swimming, and gazing at the island was so healing. The staff kept saying that this is the real Hawaii. I want to participate again.

小学生3年の娘も一緒に参加しました。
娘はあまり泳ぎが得意ではないので
少し心配でしたが、好奇心でいっぱいで
全く心配ありませんでした。
お祈りを捧げ綺麗な船でスポットに。
海に飛び込みリーダーについて行きます！
結構泳ぎましたがかわいいイルカに会えました。
今回の旅の一番の思い出になりました。
海に浮いて泳いで、島を眺め、癒されました
スタッフもこれが本当のハワイだ、としきりに言っていました。
また参加したいです。

On the day I visited, the beach that often appears in photos was submerged due to high tide, so I couldn't see it. If you want to experience the scenery as shown in the pictures, I recommend checking the tide schedule beforehand.

Onboard, I learned various local stories, which were interesting. During snorkeling, the instructions were clear even for beginners, and I was able to see sea turtles and many fish.

During the trip, my child got seasick, but the crew was very considerate, offering carbonated water and other assistance. When my child suddenly became scared during snorkeling, they provided a canoe for kids, which was a great help. I am truly grateful to the crew for their support. If I have the opportunity, I would like to use this service again.

今回利用した日は、よく写真で見かける砂浜が満潮の時間帯でしたので、海に沈んでいて見れませんでした。
写真通りの景色を味わいたい方は潮の満ち引きカレンダーなどでチェックしてからをお勧めします。

船内では地元の小話を色々教えていただき、面白かったです。
シュノーケリングでは、初心者にもわかりやすく教えていただき、ウミガメや沢山の魚を見ることができました。

道中子供が船酔いしてしまったのですが、炭酸水を飲ませてくれたりと色々気遣っていただきました。
また、シュノーケリングは子供が急に怖がってしまい困っていた所、子供用カヌーを用意してくれたりと担当してくれたクルーの方々には本当に助けられ、感謝しております。
また、機会がありましたら、利用したいと思います。

Dan, who speaks Japanese fluently, guided us. The sea was clear, and we could see various fish. Along the way, we encountered a sea turtle swimming, which made me feel very happy. We swam a lot, so by the end, I was tired, but it was a truly valuable experience.

日本語ペラペラのDanさんが案内してくれました。海は澄んでいろんな魚も見れました。途中　ウミガメが泳いでいるところに遭遇し、とてもHappyな気分になりました。とてもたくさん泳いだので最後は疲れましたが　とても貴重な体験ができました。

I checked the tide schedule and went, but the sandbar was only about knee-deep. However, during snorkeling, I was able to experience swimming alongside a turtle that had come out from hiding under the rocks. The lunch was satisfying in both taste and portion size. It was great that the boat had a restroom. I was warned to be careful of jellyfish, and the staff were catching them with nets, but since they were small, a few people got stung. However, the staff promptly provided careful treatment.

潮の満ち引きを調べては行きましたが、サンドバーは膝下半分ぐらいまででした。でも、シュノーケリングでは岩陰に隠れていた亀が出てきて一緒に泳ぐ感じが味わえました。ランチも味も量も満足できるものでした。船にトイレがついていたので、よかったです。クラゲに気をつけてくださいと注意を受け、スタッフの方も網で捕獲していましたが、小さいので刺された方が３、４名いました。でも、すぐにスタッフの方が丁寧に手当てしていました。

After enjoying the beautiful beach, I went shopping in Kailua Town. My husband found the aloha shirt he wanted, which we couldn't find in size M in Honolulu, but we discovered it in Kailua! He seemed really happy about it.
It was helpful that we were able to get a ride to Kahala without any additional charge.
Next time, I want to rent a bike and go to the farmers' market.

綺麗なビーチを楽しんだ後、カイルアタウンでお買い物しました。主人が欲しかったアロハシャツ、ホノルルではMサイズがみつからなかったのに、カイルアで発見! すごく嬉しかったようです。
カハラまで追加料金なしで送迎してもらえて助かりました。
次回は自転車をレンタルして、ファーマーズマーケットに行きたいです。

I was able to see a pod of 2 to 30 dolphins in the ocean. Since I was participating with my preschooler, I couldn't move around very quickly, but it seemed that other participants were able to see many more dolphins up close. While I was struggling in the water with my 4-year-old son, the guide kindly took care of him, allowing us to see the dolphins. Thank you very much.

2〜30匹のイルカの群れを海中で見ることが出来ました。
未就学児を連れての参加だったため、私はあまり機敏に動けなかったのですが、他の参加者の方はもっと沢山のイルカを近くで見れたようです。
4歳息子を引き連れて海でまごまごしていたところ、ガイドの方が息子の相手をして下さり、イルカを見ることが出来ました。
ありがとうございます。

The guide who accompanied us was Japanese (a woman named Yukiko), and she provided detailed guidance and support in Japanese, which was very helpful since we were participating with two preschoolers. When we asked for photos, she coordinated multiple shots with various backgrounds and poses, which made us very happy. (Although it was a family trip, it's not easy to get everyone in the same photo...) My 6-year-old daughter quickly got used to snorkeling. My 4-year-old son seemed to struggle with the snorkeling mask, but he enjoyed the underwater experience with goggles.

付いてくださったガイドの方が日本人（ユキコさんという女性）で、日本語によるきめ細やかな案内、対応をしていただけました。未就学児2人を連れての参加でしたので、とても助かりました。
写真をお願いすると、様々な背景、ポーズで何枚もコーディネートしてくださり、嬉しかったです。（家族旅行ですが、家族揃って写っている写真はなかなか撮れないので...）
6歳の娘はすっかりシュノーケリングに慣れました。4歳の息子はシュノーケリングのマスクが苦手なようでしたが、水中メガネで海中を楽しんでいました。

I was picked up at my hotel in Honolulu, and after about a 40-minute drive with the instructor and others, we arrived at the bay while listening to stories about Hawaii's traffic conditions. Since it's a protected beach, we watched a lecture video before entering. The way there was downhill, so I didn't need to take the shuttle. This beach is shallow, so it's more like playing in the water than snorkeling. However, it's suitable for families and beginners. The sea turtles are in deeper areas, but we were able to see a turtle eating on the rocks. The guide adjusts to your skill level, so I think you can participate with peace of mind.

ホノルルのホテルまで迎えに来てもらい、インストラクターさんの車で約４０分、他の方と同乗でしたが、ハワイの交通事情等お話しを聞きながらドライブでベイに到着。自然保護されている浜なので入場までレクチャービデオ見たりします。行きは下りなのでシャトルに乗らずとも平気でした。この浜は浅いのでシュノーケリングというか水遊び的な感じですね。でもその分、家族連れでも初心者でも大丈夫。ウミガメは深いところにいるので泳いでいく場所に行きますが岩場でご飯食べるウミガメさんに会えました。ガイドさんもレベルに合わせてくれるので安心して参加できると思います。

I participated with my 8-year-old and 6-year-old children. The younger one, who was feeling anxious, relaxed thanks to Dan's smile and humor, and we were able to enjoy ourselves with peace of mind thanks to Chieko's thorough lecture. I was also impressed by the thoughtful considerations and advice on the beach, not just about snorkeling. If I have the opportunity to go to Hawaii again, I would definitely like to repeat this experience. Thank you very much! ☆

８歳と６歳の子供と参加しました。
不安に感じていた下の子も、ダンさんの笑顔とユーモアで緊張もほぐれ、チエコさんの丁寧なレクチャーのおかげで、安心して楽しむことができました。
シュノーケリングのことだけではなく、細かな配慮やビーチでのアドバイスにも感激しました。
またハワイに行く機会があれば、ぜひリピートさせていただきたいと思います。
ありがとうございました☆
