Good points:
There were two guides, a Japanese guide and a local guide. They provided detailed support, which allowed me to enjoy the experience without any worries. I received all the photos taken on the day via Facebook.
Bad points:
The sea was a bit rough, so we could only swim in the lagoon, and the water wasn't very clear. Since we had a guide, I wished we could have gone closer to the beautiful open sea. (There were children participating, so I hope for more advanced support for intermediate to advanced swimmers.) There was hardly any time to relax on the beach.
良い点
日本人ガイド+現地人ガイドの2人で催行。きめ細かいフォローをしてくれたので、不安なく楽しめた。
当日撮った写真は全部FB経由で貰える。
悪い点
海が少し荒れていたのか、ラグーンの中でしか泳げず水中があまり綺麗ではなかった。せっかくガイド付きなので、綺麗な外海近くまでは行って欲しかった。(子ずれも参加していて一緒に泳ぐ形だったので、中上級者向けのフォローアップを望む)
ビーチでゆっくりする時間がほとんどなかった。

This was my first time snorkelling, so, although I love to swim, was a bit apprehensive about the mask and snorkel. Both guides were great. Pick up on time, lots of interesting information along the drive, friendly, professional and took care of safety. Explained everything well. I had difficulty with the breathing bit and they were very helpful and calming.
Thank you, glad you had a good time. Hope we see you again.

I signed up for this tour because it was guided by a Japanese person, but it required quite a bit of physical stamina. I mentioned that it was my first time snorkeling, and after a little practice, we swam quite a long distance, which made it hard to breathe. They guided me by holding my hand, but I would have preferred to practice breathing and swimming over a shorter distance until I got more comfortable. I think our lack of stamina played a role, but honestly, I didn't feel like saying, "I want to participate again!" I believe experienced snorkelers would enjoy it, but it might be a bit tough for beginners.
日本人がガイドしてくれるツアーということで、このツアーに申し込みましたが、かなり体力を要するものでした。
シュノーケリングは初めてですと最初に伝えていましたが、少し練習した後に結構長い距離を泳ぎ、息するのがキツかったです。
手を引いて案内してくれましたが、もう少し慣れるまで短い距離で呼吸や泳ぎ方の練習させて欲しかったです。
自分達が体力なかったのもあると思いますが、正直「また参加したい!」とはなりませんでした。
シュノーケリングに慣れている人なら楽しめたと思いますが、初心者の方にはちょっとキツいかもしれません。

I chose this tour based on checking the tide and finding a good location at a reasonable time. I saw plenty of sea turtles, but I would have been a bit more satisfied if we had gone to the sandbar before the tide rose. The water level was rising quickly, and by the time we left, it had become quite deep. During snorkeling, I could see the fish well, but there were so many people that it felt like a hot spring. I ended up seeing more people's feet than fish. Overall, the weather was nice, and I saw what I expected, so it was as anticipated. It has a cliché feel, but it seems to be a must-do tour.
潮位を調べて、かつ、できるだけましな時間で場所も良い、という観点からこのツアーを選びました。ウミガメはたくさん見れましたが、先に潮位が高くなる前にサンドバーへ行ってくれると、もう少し満足できたような。みるみる水位が上がってきて、帰るころにはかなり深くなっていました。シュノーケリングでは魚がしっかり見れましたが、あまりにも人が多くて、温泉状態。魚より人の足の方をたくさん見た、という感じです。一応、天気も良く、見るもの見たので、予想どおりというところでしょうか。ベタなところですが外せないツアーなのかな、という印象です。

Swimming with dolphins has been a dream of mine for many years. I participated in the tour with a bit of sleepiness from the early morning departure, but I had a great time listening to the staff share many stories about Hawaii and dolphins during the journey; the hour flew by. After boarding, everyone enjoyed chatting together as the captain guided the boat out to sea! I thought we might see only two or three dolphins at most, but when we arrived at the dolphin spot, we encountered over 30 dolphins, and my excitement skyrocketed. We also met sea turtles and gentle sharks, feeling like Ariel♪ After snorkeling, we enjoyed pork rice balls and snacks on the boat while dancing the hula on the way back. From start to finish, it was a truly fun and happy time. I would love to participate again the next time I come to Hawaii.
イルカと泳ぐのが長年の夢でした。朝早くの出発で少し眠さもありながらツアーに参加しましたが、道中にスタッフさんからハワイやイルカについてのお話を沢山聞けて、すごく楽しく1時間があっという間でした。乗船後もみんなで楽しく会話しながら、船長さんの赴くままに船は出航!!!!イルカに会えても、せいぜい2.3頭だろうと思っていましたが、いざイルカ達のポイントに着くと、30頭以上のイルカ達に出会えて、テンションが上がりまくりました。ウミガメや大人しいサメにも出会え、気分はアリエル状態♪シュノーケル後は、船上でポークおにぎりやおかしを食べ、フラダンスを踊りながらの帰航。初めから最後まで、全てがとても楽しい幸せな時間でした。次にハワイに来る時も、また参加したいと思います。

We participated as a couple with our 9-year-old child. It was everyone's first time snorkeling, but thanks to Chieko, we were able to participate smoothly, both kids and adults. We swam across Hanauma Bay for about an hour, but I think it's better for slim people and children to rent wetsuits, as the body gets colder than expected. Also, for those who are prone to seasickness, it's reassuring to take motion sickness medication. We got to see beautiful tropical fish and even a turtle, which made for the best memories! I would love to participate again when we come back to Hawaii. Thank you very much! 😊
夫婦と9歳の子供1人で参加させて頂きました。
シュノーケリングは全員初めてでしたが、ちえこさんに色々教えて頂き、子供も大人もスムーズに参加することができました。
約1時間程ハナウマ湾を横断する感じで泳ぎますが、痩せ型の人や子供さんはウェットスーツを借りた方がよろしいかと思います。思ったより体が冷えてきますので。。それから、波に酔いやすい人は酔い止めを飲んだ方が安心です。
綺麗な熱帯魚、そしてカメにも会えて最高の思い出になりました!
またハワイに来た際には参加したいと思います。
ありがとうございました(^^)
Thank you, Sumire, for bringing your family of three the other day. I'm glad you enjoyed it. There were some waves in the morning due to the high tide, but that's why the turtles came in, and you were truly lucky to swim with two turtles for a long time. Since your dad felt a bit seasick, I hope next time he can take some motion sickness medication, and you all can come back again. We are always waiting for you.
Thank you very much for coming. Mahalo!!
すみれ様、先日はご家族3名様でお越しいただき、ありがとうございます。楽しんでいただけて良かったです。満ち潮で午前中より少し波ありでしたが、だからこそ、その波に乗ってカメさんもインサイドへ入ってきてくれて、2匹のカメさんとずーっと一緒に泳げて本当にラッキーなお客様でした。パパさんはちょっと波酔いでしたので、次回は酔い止めを飲んでいただいてまた皆様でリピートしていただけたらと思っています。いつでもお待ちしております。

We then went over to the snorkel area near the Captain Cook memorial site. The reef is healthy and the colourful fish are everywhere!

One of the things on my bucket list was to swim with dolphins, and I made it happen. The weather was refreshing, the waves were calm, and the sea was very clear, making it the perfect day for the tour. The staff were bright and cheerful, which made for a fun experience throughout. I got to see a large group of dolphins and even met a sea turtle; it was truly an amazing time. Waking up early is tough, but I was a bit jet-lagged anyway, and I could sleep on the bus during the ride, so it wasn't too hard. We returned by early afternoon, allowing us to spend the rest of the day meaningfully. One thing to note is that if you are prone to motion sickness, it might be a good idea to take some medication, as there seemed to be a difference between those who did and didn't.
死ぬまでにやりたいことリストに入ってたひとつ、イルカと泳ぐこと。実現しました。天気も爽快、波も穏やか、海の透明度も高い日だったそうで、最高のツアー日だったそうです。スタッフの方々の明るさ、陽気さもあり、終始楽しい時間になりました。イルカの大群にも会えたし、ウミガメにも会えたし、本当に最高の時間でした。朝早いのは辛いけど、そもそも少し時差ボケ気味だったのと、移動中にバスの中で寝れるので、そんなに苦ではないです。昼過ぎには戻れるので、その後の1日も有意義に過ごせます。ひとつだけ注意点があるとすると、車などに酔いやすい人は、酔い止めを飲んだ方がいいかもしれません。飲んでる人と飲んでない人で差があった模様。。

The weather was great, and I was lucky to meet a lot of dolphins! Since the waves were strong, I recommend taking motion sickness medication if you're worried about seasickness. I took some and was totally fine. It seems that the timing of encounters depends on luck, so it’s best to schedule with some extra time.
天候、イルカさんの気分に恵まれ、たくさんのイルカさんに会えました!波が強かったので、船酔いや波酔いが心配な場合は酔い止めを飲むことをお勧めします。自分は酔い止めを飲んで全然大丈夫でした。遭遇のタイミングは運によるらしいので、時間に余裕を持ってスケジューリングしといたほうが良さそうと思います。

It seems that the phases of the moon and the tides are related. Rather than a sandbar, it was a beautiful sea that came up to my waist. The water was very clear, and I encountered many sea turtles on the way to the sandbar.
At first, when I entered the water, I thought, "It's cold!" but I got used to it after a while. Also, for all the smokers out there! Smoking is prohibited on the boat, but you can smoke in the water! I think having a smoke while standing in the waist-deep water is exceptional, so I recommend bringing your cigarettes!
As for snorkeling, the mask was covered in fine scratches and didn't have anti-fog treatment, so it fogged up quickly after just 2-3 minutes. Additionally, since we were swimming in a group next to the coral, the water became murky and it was hard to see, causing the fish to flee. There were many people who weren't used to it, so it inevitably became a bit crowded.
Participation in snorkeling seems to be optional, so it might be more meaningful to play around the boat. If you're mainly looking to snorkel and seeking the sandbar mentioned in guidebooks, I wouldn't particularly recommend it.
The staff from the tour company were cheerful, friendly, and kind, which was very nice. The sandwiches for lunch were also delicious.
月の満ち欠けと、潮の満ち引きが関係しているらしく
サンドバーっていうよりかは腰までくる綺麗な海でした
透明度が高くて、サンドバーに付くまでの間にウミガメにもたくさん会えました
最初、海に入ったときは「冷たい!」と思いますが、入っているうちに慣れていく感じ
あとは愛煙家の皆さん!!
船の中では禁煙ですが、海の中では喫煙できますよ!!
腰の高さまである海の中での一服は格別だと思われますので、愛煙家の皆さんはお煙草持って行くのをオススメします!!
シュノーケルは、マスクが細かい傷だらけなのと、曇り止めをしていないので2~3分付けていたらすぐ曇ってしまいます
あと、やはり団体で珊瑚の横を泳ぐので、水が濁って見えづらくなる&魚が逃げます
慣れてない人もたくさんいらっしゃるので、どうしても芋洗い状態になってしまうのだと思います
シュノーケルの参加は自由みたいなので、船のまわりでシャパシャパ遊んでる方が有意義かもしれません
シュノーケルをメインに考えている&ガイドブックに載ってるサンドバーを求めている方には、あまりオススメはしません
催行会社の方々は、陽気で気さく、優しい方が多いのでそこはとても良かったです
お昼のサンドイッチも美味しかった

Hanauma Bay was truly beautiful. I had a trauma from a previous diving experience that made my breathing become erratic, but the instructor, Fumio, kindly guided me and helped me calm down enough to swim. However, he ended up pulling me along the whole time (;_;). I was really grateful for his help (;_;).
He also took photos and later posted them on Facebook ^ ^. I brought an underwater camera, but it's nice that photos are free with this company since other companies charge for them! I would like to join this tour again when I travel to Hawaii ^ ^.
I stayed at the Sheraton Waikiki, so the meeting place was at the Hokulani hotel front entrance by the escalator. The escalator was located between the ABC Store and Quick Store, but it was a bit hard to find when I got there, so please refer to the photos!

Having brunch on the ocean is an experience that is quite rare in everyday life, so it became a wonderful memory. My husband also seemed very satisfied. Since I didn't have a rash guard, I purchased an original rash guard before entering the water. I thought it was a bit expensive, but it was the right choice since it was a little chilly. Unfortunately, when I washed it, the color of the original rash guard faded significantly and transferred to other items. I hope this can be improved.
海の上でブランチが食べれるというのは日常から考えるとなかなか出来ない体験なので良い思い出になりました。主人もとても満足した様子でした。ラッシュを持ってなかったので海に入る前にオリジナルラッシュを購入しました。若干高いなと思いましたが、少し寒かったので正解でした。残念だったのが洗濯するとオリジナルラッシュの色落ちが激しく、他のものに色移りします。これは改良されると良いなと思いました
Aloha! Thank you for joining the Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour. Thank you for purchasing the rash guard. I apologize for the color fading!

The clear sea sparkled beautifully under the bright sun, and the sandbar was lovely. Personally, I think it's worth experiencing at least once. For us, the short course was sufficient. It would have been even better if we could meet on-site. The bus was cold, and it can get chilly if the weather changes, so I recommend bringing a hoodie or something to wear. It might be better to enjoy it with a small group charter.
よく晴れていたので澄んだ海がキラキラ光ってサンドバーは綺麗でした。個人的にいけないので1度は体験しても良いかと思います。我々としてはショートコースで十分でした。現地集合できればもっと良かったですが。バスの中が寒かったり、天候が変わると寒いのでフーディなど羽織りものを持って行ったほうがいいと思います。

The shuttle from the hotel to the port was not operated by Japanese staff. Upon arriving at the port, you will need to sign a document stating that you will not hold anyone responsible for any issues that may arise during the tour. There is a Japanese version available, so it's best to ask the staff. After signing the document and handing it to the staff, you will receive a plastic boarding pass in exchange.
There is a Japanese crew member (this time it was a person named Takako) on board the ship, but there is no specific Japanese support until boarding. You can ask questions if needed, but once you get your boarding pass, you just need to board the ship. About 150 people were on the ship, but there were only five Japanese participants, including us. Takako will explain the precautions and things you should do early on, so there's no need to worry.
Depending on the weather, you can generally snorkel at two locations. It takes about an hour to reach Molokini Island (landing is not allowed), where you will have about an hour for snorkeling before returning to the ship. After another 30-40 minutes of sailing, you will arrive at the second snorkeling point.
The second floor of the ship has no roof and is exposed to direct sunlight, so since we didn't want to get sunburned, we stayed on the first floor. The ship moves at a considerable speed, creating strong winds, and the transition from Molokini to the next spot and the return from the second snorkeling point can be very cold if you are still wet from the sea. If you're okay with getting sunburned, the second floor or outside should be fine, but I recommend bringing an extra bath towel or a dry jacket.
There is a restroom on the ship, but it is small and not very clean, so changing clothes thoroughly may be difficult. My first snorkeling experience at Molokini Island during my second visit to Maui was very enjoyable, and I truly felt like I was in Hawaii!
ホテルから港への送迎は日本人ではありませんでした。
港に着くと、このツアーで何かあっても自己責任で訴えませんというような書類にサインをして、チェックインとなりますが、日本語版も用意されているので、スタッフに聞いた方がいいです。
書類にサインし、スタッフに渡すと交換でプラスチックの乗船券をもらえます。
日本人のクルー(今回はタカコさんという方)は船の中にいらっしゃるので、乗船までは日本人のフォローは特にありません。
聞けば教えてもらえますが乗船券さえゲットすれば乗るだけです。
船には150人程乗船しましたが、日本人参加者は私達含め5名でした。
注意事項や早目に行動すべきことについてはタカコさんがきちんと説明してくださるので心配いらないです。
天候によるかもしれませんが、基本2箇所でシュノーケルができます。
港から1時間程度でモロキニ島に到着(上陸はできません)、1時間程度シュノーケルの時間があり船に戻り、
また30-40分程度乗って2箇所目のシュノーケルポイントに到着します。
船の2階は屋根がなく直射日光なので、日焼けしたくない私達は1階にいました。かなりのスピードで走るのでとても風が強く、モロキニから次のスポットへの移動と2箇所目からの帰港は海に入ってびしょ濡れのままだと非常に寒くなります。日焼けOKなら2階もしくは外にいれば大丈夫だと思いますが、バスタオルを余分に持つか乾いた上着の持参をオススメします。
トイレは船にありますが、狭くてキレイとはいいがたいので、ガッツリ着替えは難しいと思います。
2度目のマウイで初めてのモロキニ島シュノーケルはとても楽しく、ハワイに来た!っていう実感を得られました。

The meeting time was early in the morning, and from there we traveled over an hour by bus to the west side of Oahu, which was our destination. Although it was early, I was sleepy, but the guide's high energy and enjoyable, informative talk made the time fly, and we arrived at our destination in no time.
We boarded the boat and set off in search of dolphins with a cheerful crew. Along the way, we were healed by the untouched nature and beautiful sea of the west side, and when we spotted dolphins, we jumped in and swam around. The water was so clear that we could see them from a distance. When we found the dolphins, it was exhilarating, and the adrenaline kicked in, making us swim a lot.
Since we spent quite a bit of time with the dolphins, we didn't have time to search for sea turtles, but personally, I think that was fine. The crew was always trying to entertain us, so we enjoyed ourselves throughout the trip. On the way back to the port, we all did hula dancing on the boat, which was a fun way to end the day.
This tour allows you to fully enjoy Hawaii's great nature, so I recommend it to anyone who wants to experience Hawaii from a perspective away from the land.
朝早い集合時間で、そこからバスで1時間以上移動したオアフ島の西側が目的地でした。朝早いので眠かったですが、ガイドさんのテンションの高さと楽しく勉強になるトークであっと言う間に目的地に到着。

We arrived around 11 AM, just in time for low tide. Although the water level was up to my knees, the clear surface of the sea was truly beautiful. After a light session of beach volleyball and snorkeling instruction, lunch time came quickly. The hamburger looked light, accompanied by a side of beans flavored with barbecue sauce, but the beef patty was thick and satisfying. Aside from the paid beer, drinks like coffee, tea, cocoa, green tea, and juices were all-you-can-drink.
During that time, we arrived at the snorkeling spot by the coral reef and quickly jumped into the sea… I enjoyed the colorful fish swaying with the waves. A few people seemed to have been stung by jellyfish, but they received immediate care. It seems that if you're lucky, you might encounter a honu (sea turtle), but we missed the timing this time.
After snorkeling, the boat moved to the honu's swimming route, and we were able to see about ten honu swimming around the boat. The honu only come close to the surface when they need to breathe, so even if you spot them, they quickly dive back down.
The tour ended here, but our Japanese tour guide was a cheerful and lively woman, which was great. Despite some waves and wind left over from the hurricane, it was a memorable experience. I would like to go again, and next time, I want to aim for a day with a stronger low tide.

運が良いとホヌに遭遇できるらしいのですが、今回はタイミングがあいませんでした。
シュノーケリングタイムが終わるとホヌの遊泳経路?へ船は移動し船の左右前後で10頭くらいの遊泳してるホヌを見ることができました。
ホヌは息継ぎの時だけ海面近くに上がるので、見つけても直ぐに潜ってしまいます。
これでツアーは終わりですが、日本人のツアーガイドさんは陽気でキビキビした女性でよいかたでした。
ハリケーンの去った影響でやや波風があったものの思い出に残る体験でした。
また、行きたいと思います。そのときは今回よりも潮が強く引く日を狙いたいと思います。

I signed up because a honu appeared in the image, but I couldn't actually encounter one. I ended up just splashing around in the shallow waters while snorkeling, which was a bit disappointing. However, the staff were very kind. I think this tour is suitable for snorkeling beginners.
画像にホヌが現れたので思わず申し込みましたが実際には遭遇できず。浅瀬でチャプチャプのシュノーケリングに終始し少しがっかり。でもスタッフの皆さんはとても親切でした。シュノーケル初心者には適したツアーだと思います。
Thank you for participating in the tour. I'm sorry we couldn't show you the turtles this time. Since they are wild animals, there may be days when we can't see them due to the condition of the sea, the tides, or the waves. Please don't let this discourage you, and if you have the opportunity, we would love for you to join the tour again. We will do our best to ensure you meet the adorable turtles at Hanauma Bay next time!
Thank you very much for coming. Mahalo!!
この度はツアーにご参加いただき、ありがとうございます。残念ながらカメさんを見せてあげられず、ごめんなさいね。自然の生物ですのでその日の海の状態や潮の満ち引き、波の有無によって見れない日もございます。これに懲りず、また機会がありましたら再度ツアーに参加してくださいね。その時こそはハナウマ湾の可愛いカメさんに会っていただけますよう頑張ります!
本当にお越しいただきありがとうございました。Mahalo!!

I was the only Japanese person, but the staff took photos for me, and other guests took photos as well, which was fun.
I was often asked how I found this tour.
There were slides, and they had floaties and other equipment ready, which made me feel very secure. It seems you can also drink alcohol if you pay extra.
For breakfast, there were bread, muffins, fruits, and scrambled eggs? For lunch, there were hamburgers and pasta.
The taste was okay.
You can have a great time even alone.
日本人はわたしだけでしたが、スタッフの人が写真を撮ってくれたり、お客さんが写真を撮ってくれたりして楽しかった。
やたら、どうやってこのツアーを見つけたの?みたいなことを聞かれてた。
滑り台があったり、浮き輪などもしっかり準備されていて、とても安心できました。お金を払えばお酒も飲めるようです。
朝食はパン、マフィン、フルーツ、卵焼き?、飲み物、お昼はハンバーガーとパスタ。
味はまぁまぁかな?
1人でも十分楽しめます。

I was so thrilled to encounter the dolphins during my first snorkeling experience. It was a mystical and incredibly beautiful experience that I can't put into words. Please be sure to try it out. Thank you, Daisuke, for your guidance. I think we were a bit of a handful, but we had a great time. I had a very good experience there. Everyone, please participate. If I go to the Big Island, I want to join again. Daisuke, you'll be fine at Kansai Airport. Have fun in Norway!
初めてのシュノーケリングで、めっちゃイルカちゃん達に、出逢えて感激です。神秘的で、言葉にできないほど、美しい経験が出来ました。是非、体感して下さい。インストラクターの大輔君ありがとうございました。。。私達夫婦足手まといやったと思うけど、すごい楽しませて頂きました。I had a very good experience there. 皆さん是非参加して下さい。ハワイ島に行ったら、また参加したいです。大輔君、関空大丈夫よん。ノルウェーで楽しんで来て下さい。

We participated as a couple.
The instructions were in English, but they explained everything in a way we could understand, and we enjoyed ourselves throughout.
After moving to the sea turtle point, we had plenty of fun snorkeling, and after getting out of the water, we went sailing towards Diamond Head. We were super excited to see sea turtles for the first time while sailing.
Even though we weren't far from the beach, there were a lot of sea turtles.
We were able to take pictures with the GoPro we brought.
The sailing was faster than we expected and felt really good; I'm so glad we participated.
(It was mentioned that fins would incur a fee, but it turns out there was no charge. In fact, I think without fins, unless you're very confident in your swimming, you would likely be swept away.)
夫婦で参加しました。
英語のみの案内でしたが、こちらが分かるように説明して下さり、終始楽しめました。
海亀のポイントまで移動してからたっぷりシュノーケリングを楽しみ、海から上がってからはダイヤモンドヘッドの方までセーリング。初めての海亀にセーリングに大興奮。
ビーチからそんなに離れていないのに、海亀もたくさんいました。
持参したgoproで撮影もできました。
セーリングは思った以上にスピードがありとても気持ち良く、参加出来て本当に良かったです。
(フィンは有料と記載がありましたが、お金はかからないそうです。
むしろフィンがないと余程泳ぎに自信がない限り、流されてしまうと思います。)

We were lucky to have good weather. The water level was up to my waist, but I was able to walk.
Snorkeling was fun too. (Even though there was a sea turtle right there, for some reason I couldn't see it...) The staff were polite and kind. If there are many people, you might be split into two groups, so there's a chance you could end up in the group that has lunch just before snorkeling. I think those who are sensitive to the boat and waves should be careful. I held back on what I wanted to eat and only had a little, haha.
The photo was taken while the smartphone was still in a zippered bag I bought at a Japanese Daiso. It turned out okay.
運良く天候に恵まれました。
腰まで水位がある状態でしたが、歩くことができました。
シュノーケルも楽しかったです。
(せっかく海ガメがすぐそこにいたのに、なぜか私は見れず…。)
スタッフの方も丁寧で親切でした。
人数が多いと、二手に分かれるため、シュノーケルの直前にご飯になるグループに当たる可能性があります。船や波の揺れに弱い方は要注意だと思います。私は食べたいところをぐっと抑えて少量にしました笑。
写真は日本のダイ◯ーで買ったスマホ用ジッパー付き袋に入れたままで撮ったものです。それなりに撮れました。
Aloha! Thank you for joining the Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour. Your photos turned out beautifully. Next time, please consider trying out GoPro filming as well.
アロハ!キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーご参加ありがとうございました。

The Japanese female guide was very cheerful and pleasant. I felt reassured because I wanted someone who could speak Japanese to guide us, and her bright demeanor helped ease my tension.
I was a bit anxious about entering the sea at night, but the guide explained everything properly and went in first, which allowed me to follow and jump in as well. Once I jumped in, there was nothing to be afraid of, and I was able to grab onto a float right away.
In the end, five manta rays came to us, which was breathtaking. I don't think there are many opportunities to get so close to wild creatures.
It was an amazing experience. I believe this is one activity I would recommend to everyone.
ガイドの日本人女性がとても明るくて感じが良かったです。
アクティビティーは出来れば日本語の出来る方にガイドしてもらいたかったので安心出来ましたし、明るく接して下さったので、緊張もほぐれました。
夜の海に入るのは少し不安があったのですが、ガイドの女性がキチンと説明もしてくれて、先に入ってくれたので、私も続いてドボンと飛び込む事が出来ました。飛び込んでしまえば、怖い事はなく、すぐに浮きにつかまることが出来ました。
マンタは結局、5枚も来てくれて圧巻でした。
あんなに野生の生き物との距離が近くなるなんてなかなか無いと思います。
凄い体験でした。
これは皆さんに勧めたいアクティビティの一つだと思いました。

I was moved by the fact that I could see a pod of dolphins up close, and I was also thrilled to see sea turtles at a distance where I could almost touch them. The ocean was so beautiful, just swimming was the best!!!!
Additionally, I learned a lot from the basic knowledge about snorkeling with dolphins that was shared on the bus.
I definitely want to recommend this to anyone going to Hawaii!
イルカの群れを直ぐ近くで見れたことに、またウミガメも本当に触れそうな距離で見れたことに感動しました。海がとってもきれいで泳ぐだけで最高でした!!!!
また、イルカをシュノーケリングするにあたっての基本的な知識もバスの中でInputしてもらってとっても勉強になりました。
ハワイに行く人がいたら是非お勧めしたいです!
Aloha, Tom,
Thank you for participating in the Private Dolphin Middle School. We are all very happy that you were able to have a valuable experience unique to Hawaii. We look forward to the day we can meet again!

I was satisfied with the cruise.
However, it was disappointing that there was no place to change.
The girls changed outside and seemed anxious about being seen.
The boys didn't mind and just got on the bus as they were. It was too cold because the air conditioning was too strong.
クルーズも出来て満足でした。
ただ、残念なのは着替え場所がない事。
女子は外で着替えましたが、、見られてるかどうかと不安そうでした、、。
男子は気にしないのでそのままバスに乗り込み。冷房が効きすぎで、寒かったです、、

Thank you for joining our tour. Unfortunately, it seems that the sea conditions were not good, possibly due to the lingering effects of Hurricane Olivia. This is a natural phenomenon, and we sincerely apologize for it. We can only take you out to sea when the conditions are safe and the waves are calm for everyone's safety. While it's easy to go out at Hanauma Bay, returning to the inside can be challenging due to the currents, making it a difficult beach. Therefore, we carefully assess the sea conditions and only guide you out when it is safe.
We hope you will join us again in the future, and we would love to take you out to sea then. For intermediate to advanced customers, we also recommend the experience diving at Hanauma Bay, which you can book through the English page on Veltra.
Thank you very much. Mahalo!!
この度はツアーにお越しいただきましてありがとうございます。残念ながらハリケーンオリビアの影響がまだ残っていたためか、海の状態が良くなかったようですね。こればかりは自然現象ですので申し訳ございません。また沖に行けるのは皆様の安全のため、海の状態が良くて波がない時のみとなります。ハナウマ湾は簡単に沖に出る事はできますが、インサイドに戻ってくる時には流れがあり大変なビーチなのです。ですから本当に海の状態を見極めて、大丈夫な時だけ沖の方へはご案内させていただいております。
是非また機会がありましたら、その時は沖の方までお連れできればいいなあと思っておりますのでリピートしてくださいね。
中上級者のお客様にはハナウマ湾での体験ダイビングもオススメです。Veltraの英語ページからお申し込みいただけます。
本当にありがとうございました。Mahalo!!
