All Reviews for Snorkeling Cruises & Tours

I had been to Hawaii many times, so I wish I had participated earlier! I was a bit worried about the sandbar and shooting for the first time, but once I went, I had no worries and just enjoyed it! It was fun, friendly, and smooth. The lunch was delicious, and the staff were cheerful, making for a fulfilling day. I will definitely participate again.

HAWAIIへは何度も行っていたからこそ！もっと早くに参加して居ればよかったと思いまいした。初めてのサンドバーとシューティングで心配もありましたが、行ってみれば何の心配もなくEnjoy！でした。楽しく、親切にスムーズでした。ランチも美味しく、スタッフさん達も明るく充実の一日でした。また、参加させて頂きます。

The weather had been nice, so I was looking forward to it, but the water clarity wasn't very high. Okinawa and Guam are much prettier. I did encounter a sea turtle, but due to the low water clarity, I couldn't see it very clearly. There were some fish, but it didn't feel like there were many.

天気も良い日が続いていたので期待していきましたが、あまり透明度が高くなかったです。沖縄やグアムの方が綺麗。
ウミガメにも出会えましたが、海の透明度が低いので、あまりクリアには見えませんでした。
お魚さんもいるにはいましたが、たくさんいる感じではなかったです。

This was one of the best activities I tried in Hawai’i.

The crew were friendly, helpful and always made time for you.
The trip out was fun too.

The Underwater Scooter was easy to navigate and the crew always helped if needed.
The video of the trip was worthwhile purchasing, as there is good clear footage.

The crew gave you bread to feed the fish from the boat and kept you entertained if you choose to not snorkel while waiting for the other people to take their turn on the Underwater Scooter

Highly recommended!

I was hesitant to join the tour because I'm not a good swimmer, but I'm really glad I participated. I saw a lot of dolphins and experienced emotions I had never felt before. The guide was very supportive, which made me feel safe while swimming. When I later watched the video, I learned that there are many different types of dolphin sounds, which was also enjoyable. I definitely recommend it!

泳ぎが苦手なのでツアーの参加を迷いましたが、参加して本当に良かったです。
イルカを沢山見て経験したことのない感動がありましたし、ガイドさんも親身に居てくださるので安心して泳ぐことが出来ました。
後ほど動画を見返すと、イルカの鳴き声にも沢山の種類があるんだなぁと新たに知ることも楽しいので是非オススメです。

I got seasick and motion sick, but it was amazing to see a large group of dolphins and cute sea turtles up close! The photographer who was with us was really energetic and fun, and he took a lot of wonderful photos. I would love to use this service again when I go to Hawaii next time.

船酔いと波酔いしてしまいましたが、イルカの大群と可愛いウミガメを間近で見れて最高でした！
同行していたカメラマンがすごくテンション高くて楽しい人で、素敵な写真を沢山撮って頂きました。
またハワイに行く時があれば利用したいです。

I had a wonderful half-day at the dreamlike sandbar, even though I was a bit anxious about bringing my baby. Everyone was very friendly, and I truly enjoyed the experience!

I was thrilled to swim with the sea turtles that come to work every day (laughs). They were so friendly, and my child was excited when a turtle came close and touched me!

The snorkeling took us to some really deep spots, but for small children, they provided large boogie boards with windows (for a fee) to take them along. They also made sure that both parents could participate separately, showing great attention to detail so that everyone could enjoy their time.

Even if you're not confident in swimming, there are other activities available (like paddle boarding), and it's a great recommendation for those who want to try a little bit of everything—walking on the sandbar, snorkeling, and swimming with the sea turtles! The lunch was delicious too (^ - ^).

Although the calendar indicated low tide, we couldn't walk on the beach, so I might have misunderstood how to read it, or perhaps it was just a low tide that didn't expose the sand. Also, it was just before the jellyfish warning period, but we did see a few jellyfish. It's nature, so that's a bit tricky.

All in all, it was a fun experience! Thank you!

憧れのサンドバー、赤ちゃん連れの参加で少し不安でしたが、皆さんとてもフレンドリーで楽しい半日を過ごさせていただきました！
毎日出勤してくる（笑）海亀さんと一緒に泳げたのが感動でした。とても人懐こい亀さんで、海亀さんが近寄ってきて僕に触ったよ！！とこどもが興奮していました。
シュノーケリングも、すごく深いところを行くのですが、小さな子供は窓がついた大きなビート板のようなもの（有料）に載せて連れていけたり、両親がそれぞれで参加できるように配慮してくださっていたり、参加した人が皆楽しんで帰れるような細やかな気配りが随所感じられて素晴らしかったです。
泳ぎに自信がなくても他に遊ぶ道具（パドルボート？とか）があったりしますし、サンドバーを歩いてみたい、シュノーケリングもちょっとしたい、他のアクティビティにも興味があるし、海亀さんとも泳ぎたい！！という、あれこれ少しずつ体験したい方にオススメです！お昼ご飯も美味しかったです(^-^)
カレンダーでは引き潮っぽかったのに砂浜は歩けませんでしたので、カレンダーの見方を間違えたのか、引き潮でも砂浜の出ない引き具合だったのか。あと、くらげ注意のギリギリ手前の日程だったのですが、少しくらげがいました。自然のことなので、その辺は難しいですね。
何はともあれ楽しかったです！ありがとうございました！

the boat ride to the snorkeling site was really good. saw dolphins and flying fish en route.
the snorkeling itself was good but not great. not a large variety of sea life. the water was very choppy. Crew were good and helpful. Food was really bad.

They take you just off the beach in Waikiki where the turtles roam. We saw at least 10 turtles on our trip. The cold beverages after the trip were also refreshing. The crew were awesome and helpful for those first timers.

Overall this was not one of the better snorkel experiences. The boat was too crowded, with 61 snorkelers. The right size for the boat should have been about 40. Especially crowded at the start where people were not allowed on the top deck when leaving port.

The crew try their best to provide a good time. They are energetic and enthusiastic.

Food option was another issue. Basically you get either a cheeseburger or veggie cheeseburger. No other choices. I hate cheese. Since food is pre-made, there is no opportunity for a simple hamburger. Drinks are either water or watered down lemonade, served in tiny cups. Should have had more variety and larger cups. You also can get a bag of chips.

Swimming with the dolphin is basically everyone jump in the water, look down to see a couple dolphins swim by, and then jump right back in the boat.

Snorkeling was not rushed, but the site did not have many fish or varieties of fish.

Water slide was fun. Much more fun than snorkeling.

I usually don't get motion sickness, but the boat was rocking quite a bit, and I got seasick. I was pleasantly surprised to see turtles while snorkeling. In fact, there were five of them swimming around, which was truly moving.

普段乗り物酔いをしないんですが、船がかなり揺れて船酔いしました。シュノーケルは期待してなかったカメに会えて良かったです。しかも5匹も泳いでて、それは感動しました。

The scooter experience was great. Very unique. If you tend to seasickness go with the first group. Luckily, I did or I don’t think I could have done it. The area where we scootered is rough, and quite a few people got sick. I had hoped to snorkel and swim afterwards, but was too sick. My companions were just fine.
Saw several turtles and different kinds of fish. Also, morning trips are supposed to be calmer than afternoon.

It was a day with high waves and quite murky water, but the dolphins seemed to be in a good mood, coming close multiple times, allowing us to see them both on the surface and underwater.

Also, the love that our guides, Ray and Daisuke, had for the dolphins was wonderful. They prioritized not making the dolphins uncomfortable, which I believe is a rule we must follow when interacting with wild dolphins.

Since the tour takes place in an area where you can't touch the bottom at all, you'll float in a wetsuit, and Ray and Daisuke provide maximum advice and support. However, to fully enjoy this tour, I think it would be more fun if you try snorkeling in shallow waters or have the guts to dive in without being able to touch the bottom.

Thank you to the dolphins who healed us, to Ray and Daisuke for the opportunity, and to everyone who participated! ✨

波が高く、結構水が濁っていた日でしたが、イルカの機嫌がよかったようで、何回も近くに来てくれてたくさん海面でも海中でも見ることができました。

また、ガイドのレイさんとダイスケさんのイルカに対する愛がとても素敵でした。イルカに嫌な思いをさせないことを最優先にする、それは私たちが野生のイルカと触れ合うにあたって守らなきゃいけないルールだなと思いました。

全く足なんてつかない海域でのツアーになるので、ウェットスーツで浮きますし、レイさんとダイスケさんが最大限のアドバイスとフォローもしてくださりますが、このツアーを楽しみ切るならシュノーケリングは浅瀬で楽しんで経験してみたり、足つかなくてもどんとこーいくらいのガッツがあるとより楽しいツアーになると思います。

癒してくれたイルカとその機会をくれたレイさん、ダイスケさん、一緒に参加した方たち、ありがとうございました✨

The day of the tour had low visibility and was a bit murky, but four manta rays approached us repeatedly, coming so close that they almost touched us, which made for a very satisfying experience. I was worried about whether we would see them since they are wild animals, but it turned out great. The guide was attentive, explaining the manta rays' ecology and checking on us regarding seasickness.

On the way back, similar to the outbound trip, the boat sped back in about 20 minutes, which was a bit chilly. It was reassuring to have two bath towels for drying off and as a windbreaker. I planned to change at a public restroom after the tour, but it was closed, so I couldn't change... I think it's best to prepare to absorb some water with a towel and wear something over it for the ride back.

参加日は、透明度があまり高くなく濁り気味な日でしたが、4枚のマンタが代わる代わる何回も接近して、目の前スレスレやマンタから触れてくるぐらい近くに来てくれたので大満足なツアーになりました。
野生相手なので、会えるかどうかを心配していましたがよかったです。
ガイドの方もマンタの生態の説明から、船酔いなどどうかも色々気にしてくださっていました。

帰りは行きと同様にビュンビュン船を飛ばして20分程度かけて帰ることもあり寒めです。体を拭く用とちょっと風除け用とバスタオル2枚あると安心でした。終わってから公衆トイレで着替えようと思ったら閉まっていて着替えられず…タオルである程度水を吸収させて上から羽織って帰るくらいの準備がいいように思います。

I had been curious about it for a long time, and this was my first time participating. The sandbar is a wonderful place made up of coral deposits, and standing there gave me a truly strange feeling. We took photos and played beach volleyball with other participants, and before we knew it, it was time for the BBQ hamburger lunch. The hamburgers we made ourselves, topped with pineapple and other ingredients, were exceptional when eaten on the boat.

After that, we went turtle watching from the boat, and then it was time for snorkeling at the snorkeling point. Unfortunately, the visibility wasn't that great, but we encountered turtles underwater, which was incredibly exciting. The Japanese-speaking female guide was friendly, and for some reason, it felt like my family was being slightly marked, but she helped liven up the atmosphere on the boat, and we had a great time.

ずっと気にはなっていたが、今回初めて参加しました。
サンドバーは素敵な場所でサンゴの堆積で出来ている浅瀬という事で、そこに立てば何とも不思議な感覚がありました。写真を撮ったり参加者でビーチバレーをしたりしましたが、あっと言う間にBBQハンバーガーランチとなりました。自分たちでパイナップルなどトッピングして、船の上で食べるハンバーガーは格別なものでした。
その後ウミガメのウォッチングを船上から行い、シュノーケリングポイントでシュノーケリングになりました。
残念ながら視界はそれほど良くありませんでしたが、水中でもウミガメに遭遇し、大興奮でした。
日本語ガイドの女性の方も、気さくな方で、何故か我が家族が少しマークされていた感はありますが、船上も盛り上げていただき、楽しいひと時を過ごせました。

Two years ago, I was able to encounter manta rays in astonishing numbers, but unfortunately, this time we didn't see many. Additionally, the waves were high, which made my wife feel a bit seasick, which was also disappointing. However, since we are dealing with nature, there's not much we can do about that, and it reaffirmed that our previous experience was wonderful. I thought the staff's hospitality was good, and it would have been nice if we had a bit more luck.

一昨年参加時は驚くほどマンタに遭遇出来ましたが、今回は残念ながら、数は多く見れませんでした。
また、波も高かったので、妻は若干船酔い気味だったのも残念でした。
でも、自然を相手にしているので、この辺りはどうしようもないし、前回が素晴らしい体験だったのだと再確認出来ました。
スタッフの方のホスピタリティは良かったと思いますし、私たちにもう少しラッキーがあれば良かったかな。

The guide and the cameraman shared many enjoyable stories. Seeing over 50 wild dolphins swimming right beside us was truly moving. The sound of the dolphins was also soothing. Meeting the wild seals, of which there are only 1,300, was a rare experience. I would love to use this service again.

ガイドさんやカメラマンさんが、楽しいお話を沢山してくれました。野生のイルカは50頭以上！すぐそばで泳ぐのは、感動的です。イルカの声も癒されます。1300頭しかいない野生のアザラシに会えて、貴重な体験でした。また利用したいです。

OMG- my husband and I found this activity last minute, and we went ahead and booked with the hope that would be a cool experience. It went above and beyond on our expectations, and all I can say is that we are so happy we found you guys! My husband loves to snorkel, I on the other hand don’t.. I tried before and my hair usually gets stuck in the equipment, water comes inside of my ears and mouth... this is an Amazing alternative to snorkel, but much much better!
The whole staff was smooth and patient. You will see so many fishes, it’s def incredible! Worth every penny, and I even think they should charge more... 1st class experience!

The weather was great, and we were able to see a very beautiful sandbar! The snorkeling spot had strong winds and the water was a bit murky, but we were able to see some fish. The sandbar was deeper than I expected, about knee-deep. I checked a site that predicts the tides to decide when to go, but there were days that seemed deeper, so I think it would be good to confirm and choose a day within the possible range.

天気に恵まれ、とても綺麗なサンドバーが見られました！シュノーケリングのポイントは風が強く少し海は濁りが強かったですが、魚は見ることができました。サンドバーはひざ下くらいの深さで思ったよりも深かったです。潮の満ち引きを予測するサイトを見て決めましたが、もっと深そうな日もあったので、可能な範疇で確認して行く日を決められるといいと思います。

A breathtaking spot often seen in TV shows and guidebooks! I wanted to go to the sandbar, so I signed up.
It was definitely the right choice! I highly recommend it!!
On my boat, Justin kept the energy up and it was a lot of fun. I tend to get seasick, so I took some motion sickness medication before joining. It didn't rock too much, so it wasn't a problem. The lunch on the boat was delicious too!
The sandbar had cloudy skies with occasional sunny breaks, and I took a lot of photos.
It would have been even better if it had been clear!
I had a great time snorkeling and paddleboarding.
I even got to see a sea turtle!!

テレビやガイドブックでよく見かける絶景スポット！サンドバーに行ってみたかったので申込みました。
参加して正解！オススメです！！
わたしの船はジャスティンさんが盛り上げてくれて楽しかったです。船酔いしやすいので酔い止めを飲んで参加しました。そんなに揺れずに気にならなかったです。船上ランチも美味しいですよ！
サンドバーは曇り空で時々晴れ間が見えて、写真たくさん撮りました。
快晴ならもっと良かったでしょうけど！
シュノーケルしたりSUPしたり楽しかったです。
ウミガメにも会えました！！

Cole was our tour guide, he was extremely informative and helpful. We were nervous not knowing how difficult the paddle was going to be but it truly was easy. We paddled over to the turtle cleaning station and we’re amazed at all the turtles we literally just hanging out with. Cole showed us different sea life and explained the history of the surrounding islands. It was the best tour we had during all our trips, clear waters, lots of coral and mostly turtles!!! We highly recommend

They were talking to everyone except us, completely ignoring us the whole time. It was a waste of time and money. I want my money back. I think the guide should prioritize the customers before enjoying their own meals and fun.

私達以外の人達にはみんなには話しかけていたのに、私達にだけ話しかけもせず、ずっとスルーでした。
時間とお金の無駄でした。
お金返してほしいです。
ガイドさんは自分達がご飯食べたり楽しむ前に、お客さんを優先したほうがいいと思いますよ。

This was such a fun experience to share with my wife. This was our honeymoon and we really loved the fact that they took great pics of us on the underwater scooters while feeding the fish. Even after our ~20min turn was over, we still had an hour to snorkel and swim around which was amazing! I’ve never been so close to sea turtles in my life!!

This was my second time going to the heavenly sea, and it was the right choice to use this company for the first time. I had an amazing time. The food was also very delicious!

天国の海へ行くのは2回目でしたが、初めてこちらの会社を利用し正解でした。最高にたのしめました。ご飯もとても美味しかったです！

The boat was not originally scheduled to go to Molokini; instead, it stayed in shallow waters unaffected by the wind. We snorkeled in a place with few fish at first. After that, we spent several hours just enduring the strong winds and blazing sun on the moored boat.
Is it because canceling would make refunds complicated?
I was disappointed that my precious time off was wasted.

船は当初からモロキニに行く航路では無く、風の影響を受けない浅瀬で停留する事、最初だけ余り魚のいない場所でシュノーケリング。後は数時時間。係留された船の上、単に炎天下、強風に耐え辛抱するだけ。
キャンセルにすると返金が面倒だから？
やっと休暇を取った貴重な時間が損なわれ残念でした。

This was my first time participating with my mother and my children, aged 3 and 7. I thought my 3-year-old might not be able to handle the dolphin swimming, but when we arrived at the spot, everyone dove into the sea! The 3-year-old was held by a staff member and got to see dolphins and sea turtles, and even ride on a paddleboard, which made them incredibly happy! The staff were all friendly and kept the kids entertained. We encountered dozens of dolphins, many sea turtles, and even baby turtles, making it the best day of our lives. The kids are now excitedly saying they want to join the manta ray program next time! Thank you to all the staff! I will definitely participate again next time!

今回初めて母と私と3歳と7歳の子供連れで参加しましたが3歳の子はドルフィンスイミングは無理かなぁと思いながらポイントに着くと全員海にダイブ！3歳の子はスタッフの方に抱っこされてイルカ、ウミガメを見せてもらったりパドルボードに乗せてもらって凄く喜んでました❗スタッフの皆さんがフレンドリーで子供達を楽しませてくれて何10頭ものイルカ先生、何匹ものウミガメ先生や赤ちゃん亀にも出会えて人生で一番最高な日になりました子供達は、次はマンタ大学にも参加したいと大騒ぎしています❗
スタッフの皆さん ありがとうございました☺️
次回も必ず参加させて頂きます✨✨

It had been three years since I last saw the night sea, so I was nervous.

As explained on the boat, I was able to float surprisingly easily by holding onto a semicircular ring and resting my legs on a long foam stick. Thanks to that, I could wait for the manta rays while comfortably observing plankton and fish. It was breathtaking to see the manta rays swimming close to my body and spinning around!! If I could wish for anything, it would be to see them in a group.

I borrowed a wetsuit, so I wasn't cold in the water (wearing aqua shoes might have helped too). My husband said he felt cold. Changing back when we returned was easy since I brought a pareo (a square piece of cloth).

I am grateful to the staff for providing an experience that I couldn't have done on my own.

3年ぶりと夜の海だったので、緊張しました。

船上での説明通り、半円形のリングにつかまり発泡スチロールの細長い棒に脚を乗せていたので思いのほか楽に浮いていることができました。お蔭で、プランクトンや、魚を見ながら余裕をもってマンタを待つことができました。
マンタが私の体すれすれに泳いだり、回転する様は感動でした！！
欲を言えば、群れで来てほしかったです。

ウェットスーツを借りたので、水中は寒くなかったです（アクアシューズを履いていたのも良かったかもしれません）。
・・主人は寒いと言っていました。
帰ってきた時の着替えは、パレオ（四角い布）を持ってきたので楽でした。

自分だけではできない体験ができ、スタッフのみな様に感謝いたします。

We departed at dusk and were able to enjoy the sunset sinking into the sea from the boat. We also encountered four mantas, making it a very satisfying tour. While we were snorkeling and looking into the sea, the mantas approached us with their mouths open (to eat plankton), passing right in front of us multiple times and even spinning around. They came so close that we almost touched them, even though we shouldn't have. I think this is a rare experience.

夕暮れ時に出発し、ボートから海に沈むサンセット鑑賞もできましたし、マンタ4枚にも遭遇でき、大変満足なツアーでした。シュノーケルで海をのぞいている私達に、マンタが口を開けて(プランクトンを食べるため)向かってきたり、何度も目の前を通り過きたり、回転したりと、触ってはいけないのに、触ってしまうほど近くまでやってきました。なかなか出来ない体験だと思います。

I would like the group size to be a bit smaller. With 6 people in one group, it's already expensive at 3 minutes per person just by simple calculation. Also, the purchase of digital photos starts at $55 for 2 photos! After that, it's $22 per photo. Buying 4 photos costs $99, which is too high and quite shocking.

グループの人数をもう少し少なくしてほしい。1グループ6人で、単純計算しても一人当たり3分間で高い。またデジタル写真購入がなんと2枚からで55ドル！そのあとは1枚あたり22ドル。4枚購入して99ドル、高すぎで、呆れた。

There was a bit of trouble with the operating company at the meeting point. We arrived at the meeting location more than five minutes before the scheduled time. Then, a flashy bus with the "Dolphin & You" logo passed right in front of us, and thinking we had been left behind, we hurried to chase after it, but it just kept going. Since we had minimal luggage and didn't have our smartphones, we had no choice but to return to the hotel, where we received a call from the operating company... They said they had come to pick us up at the meeting point but since we weren't there, we could no longer participate in the tour.

Actually, the bus we chased after was a different bus picking up Western guests, while Japanese guests were supposed to be picked up by a smaller van (a plain white bus without the operating company's name or logo), which apparently arrived quite late on the day of the tour. Despite this, the operating company said, "Since this is a cancellation on your part, we cannot issue a refund. If you want to participate, please take a taxi to the harbor." I thought it was unreasonable to ask us to take a taxi to a location that takes an hour by car, and when I expressed my frustration asking, "Is this really our responsibility???" they reluctantly agreed to send someone to pick us up.

On the morning of the tour, a confirmation call was made to the hotel, but the staff member was not fluent in Japanese and did not provide detailed information during the prior call. Therefore, I recommend confirming what kind of bus will come to pick you up on the day of the tour.

Once we got on the boat, I thought the staff members were very kind and helpful. There were also staff members who spoke Japanese fluently. They were very high-energy, which might be a bit overwhelming if you’re feeling unwell. In my case, I think the strong winds contributed to my discomfort, and I felt that snorkeling might be tough for small children... My child cried a lot during the first attempt and couldn't handle it. Dolphins can only be seen underwater as dark shadows, so it might be better for children to see them from the boat.

I also brought an underwater camera, but it's quite difficult unless you're a good swimmer. Regarding clothing, I wore a rash guard and tights, and I think that was sufficient without needing to rent a wetsuit (the rental wetsuits are short types). As for belongings, you should definitely borrow a bath towel from the hotel and bring it with you. It can get a bit chilly on the way back, so it's better to take off wet rash guards and dry off with the bath towel before putting on a dry shirt.

As for tipping, which can be confusing for Japanese people, it didn't seem like it was strictly enforced. The Q&A section on the operating company's website also mentions that a small gesture is sufficient. I hope this information is helpful to everyone.

集合時に運営会社と少しとトラブルになりました。
私たちは集合場所に待ち合わせ時間の5分以上前から来ていました。
すると「ドルフィン＆ユー」のロゴが描かれた派手めのバスが目の前を通り過ぎてしまったので、置いて行かれたと思い、慌てて追いかけたのですが、そのまま行ってしまいました。
荷物も最小限で、スマホも持っていなかったので、仕方なくホテルに戻ったところ、運営会社から電話が・・・。集合場所にピックアップにきたが、いないのでもうツアーには参加できないとのことでした。
実は我々が追いかけたバスは、欧米人客を拾っていく別便のバスで、日本人客はそれよりは小さいバンのようなバス（運営会社名もロゴもない、真っ白なバスです）が拾っていくことになってたらしいのですが、当日それが待ち合わせ時間よりもかなり遅れてきたのです。
・・・にも関わらず、運営会社がいうには、「そちらの都合のキャンセルなので、返金には応じられない。参加したければ、タクシーでハーバーまで来てください。」とのことでした。
車で1時間もかかるところに、タクシーで来いというのもどうかと思いますし、さすがに「それってこちらの責任なのですか？？？」と憤ったところ、渋々なんとか迎えにきてくれました。

当日の朝に確認の電話がホテルに掛かってきますが、そのときのスタッフは日本語が堪能ではなく、事前の電話でそこまで詳細な情報までは教えてはくれませんでした。
ですので、当日はどんなバスが迎えにくるのかを必ず確認された方がいいと思います。
　
船に乗ってからは、スタッフの皆さんとても親切で良かったと思います。
日本語がとても流暢なスタッフもいました。
とてもハイテンションなので、気分が悪くなるとちょっとしんどいかもしれません。
私の場合は、結構風が強かったのも原因かと思いますが、シュノーケリングは小さいお子さんは厳しいかも・・・という印象でした。
うちの子は、1回目で大泣きでダメでした。
イルカは水中で見ても、黒い影のようにしか見えないので、子供は船上で見た方がいいかもしれません。
あと水中カメラを持っていきましたが、泳ぎが得意な方でないとなかなか難しいです。
あと服装ですが、私はラッシュカードとタイツをはいて行きましたが、ウエットスーツ（貸しウエットスーツは短パンタイプです）を借りなくても、これで十分だと思いました。
荷物としては、バスタオルはホテルで借りて必ず持っていくべきでしょう。やはり帰りはちょっと寒いので、ぬれたラッシュガードなどは脱いで、バスタオルで体を拭って、乾いたシャツ等を着る方がいいと思います。

日本人が戸惑うチップですが、そんなにきっちり払っている感じはなかったです。運営会社HPのQ&Aにも書いてありますが、気持ち程度でいいと思います。
皆さんの参考になればと思います。

The weather was wonderful, and the color of the sea was just as I expected! I was worried if my elderly mother would enjoy it, but when we got off the boat and walked in the shallow water, she was satisfied to see sea turtles and fish up close.

I was the only one who went snorkeling, but the sea turtles came so close that I could almost reach out to them! It was a happy moment where we could gaze at each other without touching.

If I have the chance to go to Hawaii again, I would love to participate!

お天気にも恵まれて、思った通りの海の色でした！高齢の母が楽しめるか心配でしたが、船から降りて、浅瀬を歩くと、海亀や魚がすぐ近くで見れて満足してました^_^
私だけスノーケリングしましたが、海亀は本当に手が届くところまで近づいてきてくれました！触らないように、でも見つめ合える幸せな時間でした。
また、ハワイに行く機会があったら、参加したいです！
