I participated on August 23 when a typhoon was approaching Oahu. I woke up several times during the night, thinking I might receive an email saying the event would be canceled. However, it was confirmed that the event would go ahead, and I decided to participate, knowing that if I canceled on the day, the nearly 90,000 yen for seven people would not be refunded.
Since the sun wasn't out, the sea wasn't beautiful, and both the water and air temperatures were low, everyone was feeling cold. I also participated in snorkeling, but due to the typhoon's effects, I felt scared as I was almost swept away.
After returning, I contacted a company that specializes in sandbar cruises, and they informed me that the Public Safety Bureau had issued a warning, stating that boats should not go out. They mentioned that other companies likely weren't operating either. They said that just rain wouldn't lead to cancellations, but since a hurricane was approaching, that was the reason for the cancellation. I wonder if it was really a good decision to go ahead with the event.
Given the circumstances, I'm relieved that nothing happened. By the way, I heard that those who canceled on the day received a full refund. I regret participating just to avoid losing the 90,000 yen.
オアフに台風が近づいている8月23日に参加しました。中止に当然なるのではとメールが来るかもしれないと何度も夜中に目が覚めました。しかしながら催行するとのこと、7人分の9万近いお金が当日こちらがキャンセルすれば返ってこないと参加しました。
太陽が出ていないので海も綺麗でなく、水温も気温も低くて皆さん寒がっていました。シュノーケリングにも参加しましたが、台風の影響で流されそうになり怖い思いをしました。
帰ってからサンドバー専門のクルーザーの会社に問い合わせたところ、公安局から危険と指示があったので船は出てはいけないということで他の催行会社も全て出ていないだろう、ただの雨ではキャンセルにならないけどハリケーンが近づいていたからいう回答を得ました。催行して良かったのでしょうか。
そんな中でしたので何事もなくてよかったと思います。ちなみに当日キャンセルの方には全額返金したそうです。9万を惜しんで参加しなければ良かったです。

This is an activity you can experience near the lagoon pool at Waikoloa Village. An instructor will accompany each group, allowing you to interact with dolphins. Even if you can't swim, the life jackets provide enough buoyancy, so you'll be fine!
You won't be able to take photos with your own camera. A photographer will take pictures for you, which you'll need to purchase. We received all the photos (81 images) on a USB. It is a bit pricey, but since it's a rare experience that you can't usually have, it might be worth it.
ワイコロアビレッジのラグーンプール近くの場所で体験できるアクティビティです。インストラクターの方が、それぞれのグループ毎に付いてくれて、イルカと触れ合う事ができます。泳げない人でもライフジャケットが相当浮力があるので大丈夫ですよ!
自分達のカメラでは写真が撮れません。カメラマンの方が写真を撮ってくださるので購入する必要があります。私達は、全ての写真(81枚)のデータをUSBに入れてもらいました。少しお値段がはりますが、普段できない貴重な体験ですので、仕方がないかもしらませんね。

I participated two years ago and it was amazing, so I brought my mother and wife to join me this time. The weather was rough right after the hurricane, but we were lucky to encounter a pod of about 30 dolphins. It was fantastic to see the baby dolphins that were just born this year! Julie's talk was also entertaining!
2年前に参加して、最高だったので母と妻を連れて3人で参加。
ハリケーンの直後で天候が荒れていましたが、無事30頭くらいの群れに遭遇。今年産まれたばかりの赤ちゃんイルカにも会えて最高でした!
ジュリーのトークも面白かったです!

I originally had a tour booked, but two days prior, I received an email saying it was canceled due to the tour company's circumstances, which made me anxious to book this one instead. I felt very disappointed, but I had an amazing time! When I shared the series of events with the guide, they provided an explanation that made sense to us, saying, "This is probably what happened." I was so moved to see the manta rays up close, it was unbelievable! Next, I will also participate in the dolphin tour!
もともと予約していたツアーが2日前に急遽、ツアー会社の都合でキャンセルとメールがきて焦ってこちらを予約しました。気持ち的には非常に残念だったのですが、とてもとても楽しめました!ガイドに方に一連の出来事をお話したら、「恐らくこういうことだろう」と自分たちとしては納得のいく説明もしていただけました。マンタも信じられないぐらい近くで見れて感動しかありません!次はイルカのツアーにも参加させていただきます!

I was taken to a place (West Oahu) that I couldn't reach on my own, and during snorkeling, I got to see turtles and schools of fish. Above all, the tour was amazing because I could enjoy Akima's fun conversations. Additionally, I was touched that Akima responded to my rather bold request over the phone, which was a highlight for me. I'm glad I asked for so many photos to be taken.
I haven't been to the North Shore yet, so I need to go back to Hawaii! I hope to be taken care of by Akima again next time.
I'm cheering for Akima's success from the skies of Japan.
Thank you very much!
自力では行けない場所(西オアフ)に連れて行っていただき、シュノーケリングの時には亀さんや魚の大群にも会えて、何よりアキマさんの楽しいおしゃべりが聞けたツアーは、最高でした。その上、ツアーとは全く関係のない図々しいお願いに、電話という形で応えていただいたことも感激ポイント↑↑↑でした。写真もたくさん撮っていただき、お願いしてよかったです。

I really enjoyed this tour, and I think this is my fourth time participating. This time, the tour was especially amazing! There were about eight manta rays? There were so many that it was hard to keep track. In the past, there were times when they didn't show up at all, so since it's in the wild, there's no guarantee you'll see them, but I definitely think it's worth participating. Also, this boat is large, which makes it comfortable and gives a sense of security.
Previously, we borrowed wetsuits at the check-in office, but now the handover has changed to the boat boarding area. Additionally, the tour used to have only one departure per day, but now there are two, an early and a late option. We participated in the early departure.
このツアーはとても気に入っていて、これで4回目くらいの参加になるでしょうか。
特に今回のツアーは最高でした!
マンタの数も8枚くらい?とにかくいっぱいでよくわからないくらいでした。
以前、全く現れない事もあったので、野生だから必ず見れる保証はないですが、参加する価値は十分あると思います。
また、この船は大きいので落ち着くし安心感があります。
このツアー、以前はチェックインのオフィスでウェットスーツを貸していただいたのですがボート乗り場での受け渡しに変更になっていました。
また、ツアーも以前は1日1便でしたが、早めと遅めの2便になっていました。
私たちは早めの便に参加しました。

Heavenly Ocean was amazing! It was my first time participating on my 10th trip to Hawaii! I always thought about going, but I hesitated because it seemed boring if the sandbar wasn't out. Finally, I decided to give it a try! I wish I had gone from the start! In the end, the sandbar wasn't out, but the ocean was incredibly beautiful, something I had never seen before... it was wonderful.
To get to Heavenly Ocean, we drove about an hour from Waikiki along mountain roads. Since I tend to get motion sickness in cars and boats, I took some anti-nausea medication before going, so I was totally fine. After that, we boarded the boat to Heavenly Ocean... Within 30 minutes, we could see the sandbar, and there was clearly a different zone with a distinct color and feel to the water!
At Heavenly Ocean, there was about waist-deep water, possibly due to the hurricane that had come the day before, but it was incredibly beautiful and enjoyable! We practiced snorkeling, played beach volleyball, and had fun with a diverse group of people. Couples were taught how to take lovely photos, and they took many beautiful pictures. We were just so impressed by the stunning ocean!
I've been to various oceans before, but I truly felt that it lived up to its name, Heavenly Ocean! While we were playing, the crew grilled meat on a barbecue. I had some concerns about the quality of the meat since it was labeled BBQ, but what we got was a hamburger! We made our own sandwiches with the meat, cheese, and vegetables... there were also beans and chips, and it was delicious.
After that, we went to a spot where we could see turtles. It was very close by, and the sea turtles popped their heads up! Then, we went snorkeling around the coral reef!!! There were colorful fish all around the coral. I was able to see even more colorful fish than when I went diving in Hawaii, and since it was snorkeling, it was easy to participate, which was great!
The Japanese guide was very friendly and kind to everyone, which was really nice!
Actually, I had booked this tour on the day of the hurricane, and it was scheduled to go until the last minute, but at the last moment, it was canceled, and they helped me rebook. Since it's an American company, I guess there are cancellation fees and various things to consider? I think it's better to hold out until the last minute. I learned that the cancellation was due to the rough sea around the coral reef, which made it impossible to see anything! This means it might have been possible to go, so if there are cancellation fees, it might be worth waiting until the last minute. They said that if it was really impossible, they would contact me to cancel and refund my money.
In any case, I was very satisfied to have participated for the first time! I will definitely join again the next time I come to Hawaii!
天国の海最高でした!10回目のハワイ旅行にして初参加でした!
いつも行ってみたいと思いながら、サンドバーが出てないとつまらなそうと、やめていたけど、ついに行ってみることにしました!
最初から行けば良かった!って思いました!
結果的にサンドバーは出てなかったけど、海が初めて見る綺麗さで、、、素晴らしかったです。
天国の海までは、ワイキキから車で1時間くらい山道を走りました。私は元々車や船に酔いやすいので、酔い止めを飲んで行きました。なので全然平気でした。その後、船に乗って天国の海へ、、、。
船は30分も乗らないうちにサンドバーが見えてきて、そこだけあきらかに色も海の感じも違うゾーンが現れました!
天国の海では、前日にハリケーンが来ていた影響もあったのか、腰くらいまで水がありましたが、めっちゃくちゃ綺麗で楽しめました!
次に待っているシュノーケルの練習をしたり、ビーチバレーをしたり、国際色豊かなメンバーで楽しんだり、カップルはステキな写真の撮り方を教えてもらって、綺麗な写真を沢山撮ってました。
私たちは綺麗な海にひたすら感激!
今まで色んな海に行って来ましたが、やはり天国の海というだけあると実感!
そして、天国の海で私たちが遊んでいる間にクルーがバーベキューグリルでお肉を焼いてくれました。
BBQと書いてあったので、お肉の美味しくないのだったらやだなぁなんて内心思ってたのですが、出来上がったのは、ハンバーガー!
自分でパンにお肉とチーズと野菜を挟んで、、、ビーンズとチップスもあって、美味しくいただきました。
その後は、亀が見えるスポットへ。すぐ近くにあって、ウミガメさんがひょこひょこ顔を出してくれました。
そして、サンゴ礁の周りをシュノーケリング !!!
サンゴ礁の周りに色とりどりの魚がいました。
ダイビングでハワイの海に潜った時よりも色とりどりの魚が沢山見ることができて、シュノーケルだったので、簡単に参加できて良かったです!
案内の日本人の方もすごくフレンドリーで誰に対しても優しく、とっても良かったです!
実は、このツアーハリケーンの日に予約していて、ギリギリまで催行予定だったのですが、ギリギリにNGが出て、予約を取り直してもらいました。アメリカの会社なので、キャンセル料とか色々あるんでしょうね?ギリギリまで粘った方がいいかと思います。NGになったのは、サンゴ礁のところが海が荒れて何も見えなくなったからとツアーに参加して教えてもらいました!ということは、出来なくもなかったということかと思いますので、キャンセル料がかかるときはギリギリまで粘っていいかと思います。本当に無理だとキャンセルの連絡が来て、お金も返金してくれるとのことでしたから。
いずれにしても、初参加出来て大満足です!
また、次回ハワイに来るときはまた参加させていただきます!

This activity has all instructions in English, but I highly encourage participation even if you don't speak English. You can still have a great time, and the crew is very attentive, making sure you are comfortable throughout the experience.
When you think of snorkeling in Okinawa or Asian beach resorts, you might be disappointed in terms of coral and fish visibility. However, the breathtaking views of the Na Pali Coast are truly moving. Floating in the sea while looking up at the towering rock formations feels amazing. We even encountered dolphins and sea turtles, and if you approach it as a cruising experience, I think you'll be very satisfied.
■ Boat Facilities
Since it's a catamaran, it doesn't sway too much, but the cruising time is long, so those who are not used to it should be cautious of seasickness. There is a space inside the boat to shield you from the wind, and it also has a restroom.
■ Useful Items to Bring
It can get chilly when the wind hits your wet body, so a waterproof windbreaker would be handy. The snorkeling gear provided is relatively basic, so if you have your own snorkel and mask, it might be better to bring them along.
■ Meals
Breakfast: Cinnamon rolls, croissants, fruit, coffee
Lunch: Make-your-own sandwiches & salad, pasta
Drinks: Sprite, cola, green tea, beer, wine (white & red), etc.
The salad and ham were fresh, making for quite delicious sandwiches.
■ Surrounding Information
There are a few small shops around Port Allen, including a Kauai local chocolate and cookie shop, and a brewery. A short walk away, you'll find Subway and McDonald's. We didn't drive, so we took an Uber (costing $46 from Lihue) to get there, and on the way back, we happened to catch a bus to Lihue, which cost $2, and transferred from the bus to Uber. Most people probably rent cars, but since there are few Uber drivers on Kauai, it's wise to consider the risk of not being able to get one.
すべて英語のインストラクションですが、英語ができなくてもぜひ参加してほしいアクティビティです。英語が分からないなりに十分楽しめますし、クルーの人たちがこまめに気遣ってくれて、快適に過ごすことができました。
沖縄やアジアのビーチリゾートで体験できるシュノーケリングをイメージすると、珊瑚や魚影という点では期待外れかもしれません。
それでも、ナ・パリコーストの迫力ある絶景はやっぱり感動もの。
そびえたつ奇岩を見上げながら海に浮かんでいると、とっても気持ちがいいです。イルカやウミガメにも逢えましたし、クルージングメインと捉えて参加すると、とても満足度が高いと思います。
■船の設備
カタマランなのでそれほど大きくは揺れませんが、クルージングの時間が長いので、慣れない人は船酔い注意。
船内に風をよけられるスペースがあり、トイレもついています。
■あると便利なもの
濡れた身体で風を切ると寒いので、防水のウインブレがあると便利です。
用意されているシュノーケルは割と簡易なものなので、持っている人は自前のシュノーケルとマスクを持っていったほうがいいかも。
■食事について
朝食:シナモンロール、クロワッサン、フルーツ、コーヒー
昼食:自分でつくるサンドイッチ&サラダ、パスタ
飲み物:スプライト、コーラ、グリーンティー、ビール、ワイン(白・赤)、等
サラダやハムはフレッシュで、なかなかおいしいサンドイッチになりました。
■周辺情報:
ポート・アレンの周辺には小さなショップがいくつかあり、カウアイ・ローカルのチョコレートやクッキーショップ、ブリューワリ―。ちょっと歩いたところにサブウェイやマクドナルドなどがあります。
私たちは車を運転しないので、行きはUber(リフエから$46)、帰りはたまたまリフエ行のバスと遭遇し、バス($2)とUber乗り継ぎで移動しました。ほとんどの方はレンタカーだと思いますが、カウアイ島はUberのドライバーが少ないので、つかまらないリスクも考慮したほうがよさそうです。
私たちはあなたのレビューを読んでとても嬉しいです!私たちに参加していただき、ありがとうございます!マハロとアロハ。
We are beaming reading over your review! Thank you so much for joining us! Mahalo and Aloha

I was able to participate with peace of mind thanks to the kind assistance of the staff member who speaks Japanese (Takako). It was convenient to have sunscreen available. While snorkeling, they checked in to see if I was enjoying myself, which was nice. When the boat was rocking a lot and I started to feel unwell, they distributed ginger ale, and I felt better right away. It was great that they wrapped the meals so I could take them home.
日本語が話せるスタッフ(たかこさん)に親切に色々と対応してもらい安心して参加できました。
日焼け止めも利用でき便利でした。
シュノーケリングをしているときも話しかけて楽しんでいるか?など聞いていただき良かったです。
船がとても揺れて気分が悪くなりそうなときは、ジンジャーエールを配ってくださり、すぐに気分が良くなりました。

Despite the heavy rain and calm sea without wind, we proceeded with the tour as planned. We arrived at the sandbar! Although it was cold and we were shivering, we decided to get into the water, but we couldn't stay in for more than five minutes before getting back on the boat. We ended up eating sandwiches in the leaking cabin. Some people went snorkeling, but they said it was too murky to see anything. Well, that makes sense! It was pointless to even go in.
When we finally thought we could go home, the pickup bus didn't arrive, and we had to wait for an hour in an empty parking lot. It was cold, but at least it didn't rain while we were waiting for the bus, which was a small relief.
In summary, while bad weather might be a matter of luck, I thought it was terrible that the tour continued just for the sake of money despite the conditions. Also, the waiting time for the bus felt like pure torture.
If I go again, I hope it will be when there isn't a hurricane!
大雨の中風がなく海は穏やかなので〜と言うことでそのままツアーします
との事でサンドバーまで行き到着!
雨と寒さでブルブル震えるなかせっかくなので
海に入りましたが5分と入ってられず船にあがり、雨漏りする船内でサンドイッチを食べました。シュノーケリングに出かけた方もいましたが濁っていて何も見えないと
そりゃ〜そうでしょう‼︎ 入るだけ無駄ですよ
無事に戻りやっと帰れると思ったら
迎えのバスが来ない、何もない駐車場に1時間も待たされました
寒かったけどバスの待ちは雨が降らなかった事が救いでした
感想 天候が悪いのは運なのかもしれませんが こんな状態でお金のためだけにツアーを中止にせず行うのは酷いなぁと思いました
また、バスの待ち時間は地獄そのものでした
次回もし行くならハリケーンが来ていない時にしたいものです

I participated with my 8-year-old daughter. Our guide, Aino, was bright and energetic, making the tour a joyful experience from start to finish.
Although my daughter has some experience with snorkeling in the ocean, I was a bit worried about her safety since it was explained that she would need to swim at the same pace as the other participants. However, Aino had thoughtfully arranged for another staff member to support my daughter in advance, allowing us to enjoy the experience without any concerns. My daughter was thrilled to swim alongside the kind Hao, which she considered a precious experience.
Moreover, we were lucky to swim closely with many dolphins and mother-and-baby dolphins for a long time, which was amazing!
As a parent, safety was my biggest concern, but the Japanese staff provided thorough explanations on how to wear the equipment, and they consistently communicated with us to ensure we stayed together as a group while in the water. This made us feel completely secure in terms of both safety and communication.
Once my daughter is a bit older, I would like to participate in Dolphin University next time. Thank you for a wonderful experience!
8歳の娘と2人で参加しました。
ガイドのAinoさんは明るく元気で、終始笑顔の絶えないツアーでした。
娘は海でのシュノーケリングは何度か経験しているものの、イルカと泳ぐためには他の参加者と一緒のペースで泳ぐとの説明だったので、私だけでサポートできるのか安全面で少々不安でした。
ですが、ガイドのAinoさんが気をきかせてあらかじめ別のスタッフさんに娘のフォローを依頼しており、全く不安なく楽しめました。
娘も優しいHaoさんと一緒にバタ足して泳げたことが貴重な体験でとても嬉しかったようでした。
しかもラッキーなことに、長い時間たくさんのイルカの群れや親子イルカと近くで一緒に泳ぐことができ最高でした!
親子連れなので安全面が一番気になるところでしたが、日本人スタッフから用具の装着説明も丁寧にあり、海に入っている間も終始グループで一緒にいるように声掛けがあり、安全面でもコミュニケーション面でも全く不安なく参加できました。
もう少し娘が大きくなったら、次回はイルカ大学に参加したいと思っております。素敵なひと時をありがとうございました!

In April, I participated with my mother. The participants varied widely, including newlywed couples, families with small children, elderly couples, and adult groups.
In the morning, we were picked up next to DFS. We were staying very close to the Sheraton, but it was unfortunate that the Sheraton bus stop could not pick up non-guests.
On the day of the tour, it was sunny to slightly rainy in Waikiki, but it was pouring rain and gray skies at the location. Therefore, we couldn't see the beautiful scenery like in the pictures at all. However, I thought the tour itself was packed with activities.
1. Everyone walked to the sandbar.
2. Snorkeling was available for those who wanted to participate (snorkel sets and floatation devices were provided for free).
3. Lunch (those who didn't go snorkeling ate first, but the portion was sufficient).
4. Motorboat and SUP were available for those who wanted to try (free).
It's really regrettable about the bad weather. Even in poor weather, we were able to see turtles while snorkeling, and there were reasonably clear waters and colorful fish to enjoy. It was a rocky area where you couldn't touch the bottom, but we could borrow floatation devices, and there were quite a few fish. The lunch was quite varied for being on a boat, and the bone-in meat was particularly delicious.
The staff were kind and entertaining, but there were many items for sale that they recommended, so be cautious. On the other hand, you can buy quite a few things on the boat. If necessary, I recommend bringing marine shoes, rash guards, and an underwater camera (waterproof cover for smartphones) in advance. It's either barefoot or marine shoes on the boat.
The satisfaction level of the tour seems to depend a lot on the weather. Even with the pouring rain, I was somewhat satisfied with the price, so I can imagine I would have been very satisfied if it had been sunny. However, someone who participated on the same day mentioned it was their third time joining, and it had rained every time (laughs).
4月に母と二人で参加。新婚旅行風カップル、小さい子連れファミリー、老年夫婦、大人グループなど参加者層は幅広かったです。
朝はDFS横でピックアップ。シェラトンすぐ近くに宿泊でしたが、シェラトンバス停は宿泊者以外のピックアップができなかったのが残念。
当日はワイキキは晴~小雨。現地はザーザー降り&灰色空。よって、写真みたいな景色は全然見れませんでした。。
でも、ツアー自体は盛りだくさんで良かったと思います。
1、全員で歩いてサンドバー
2、希望者のみシュノーケリング(シュノーケルセット・浮具貸出無料)
3、ランチ(シュノーケル行かなかった人が先に食べてるけど量は十分)
4、希望者のみ、モーターボート・SUP(無料)
ほんとに悪天候が悔やまれます。
悪天候でもシュノーケル中はカメが見れたり、それなりに透明な海やそれなりにカラフルな魚が見れたりして楽しめました。足が付かない岩場でしたが浮具も借りれたし、魚の数も結構いました。ランチも船内にしては種類豊富で、特に骨付き肉が美味しかったです。
スタッフさんは親切で面白いけど、勧められる販売品も多いので注意かな。逆に結構色々船内でも買えます。必要ならば、あらかじめマリンシューズ・ラッシュガード・水中カメラ(スマホ防水カバー)などを持っていくのがおすすめ。船内は裸足かマリンシューズです。
天候でかなり満足度が変わりそうなツアー。ザーザーでもこの値段でもまあ満足なので、晴れてたら大満足なんだろうな。ただ、同じ日に参加した人は3度目の参加だそうで、全部雨だとか(笑)
Aloha! Thank you for participating in the tour and for the detailed report. The weather... is just part of outdoor tours... We look forward to your revenge participation, Miko!

The timing of the tides didn't align, so the sandbar didn't appear, and we were left with shallow waters about waist-deep.
During the sea turtle watching, we were able to spot over ten turtles, which was a lot of fun!
The staff were bright and kind.
The area around the sandbar tends to get more rain and the temperatures are lower compared to Waikiki, so it felt a bit chilly.
I'm glad I went, but since we were at the edge of the sandbar, next time I would like to choose a tour company that can take us to the central area.
潮の満ち引きのタイミングが合わず、サンドバーは出現せず、腰の高さくらいの浅瀬でした。
ウミガメウォッチングでは、10匹以上見つけることができて楽しかったです♪
スタッフの皆さんは、明るく優しい方達でした♪
サンドバー周辺の地域は雨が降りやすく気温もワイキキに比べると低めなので、少し肌寒い印象でした。
行って良かったですが、サンドバーの端っこのエリアだったので、次回は中心のエリアに行ける催行会社を選んでみたいと思います☆

The western part of Oahu, close to the hidden spots! It was just my family of three and our guide Akima, which made for a very private experience. Thanks to Akima's explanations filled with Hawaiian myths, including mystical caves, power spots, and Yokohama Bay, I think we enjoyed it many times more. The snorkeling was also fantastic with excellent visibility, and we had so much fun that we were completely exhausted! (Akima seemed full of energy!) Additionally, Akima's open personality, friendliness, and the various information about Hawaii presented in a quiz format were greatly appreciated (the "Huli Huli Chicken" at Ala Moana Center was so delicious that I ended up eating it twice, haha). Thank you so much, Akima, for creating the best memories of this trip!

It was my first experience with snorkeling, but the guide taught us carefully, and before I knew it, I was comfortably swimming further away. In the end, I was able to see a sea turtle, which made for a very fulfilling time. I think it would be difficult to encounter a sea turtle on my own, so I'm glad I participated in this tour.
シュノーケリング初体験でしたがガイドさんが丁寧に教えていただき、気づけば無理なく離れた所まで行ってました。
最後にウミガメを見ることができとても充実した時間でした。
個人ではウミガメに会う事は難しいと思いますのでこのツアーに参加してよかったです。

I was really excited to see several sea turtles during the sea turtle watching until we reached the sandbar, but the sandbar was deeper than I expected, so I couldn't sit down to take photos. (I had to give up on sitting my child down with the beautiful scenery in the background...) I think it's better to check the tide schedule in advance. However, both the sea and the sandbar were very beautiful, and I was satisfied!! Please be careful after coming out of the water, as it can get cold.
砂洲に着くまでの海亀ウォッチでは何匹も見れて中々興奮しましたが、砂洲が思っていたよりも深く座って写真撮影はできませんでした。(子供を座らして絶景をバックに…は断念しました)
事前に潮の満ち引きを調べて行った方がいいと思います。
でも海も砂洲もとても綺麗で満足しました!!
海からあがった後は寒いので気をつけて下さい。

Molokini Island had high visibility. If I could wish for anything, I would have liked to see a greater variety of fish. At the second spot, I was able to see turtles twice. There were people gathered around the turtles, but I was lucky enough to spot them first. It was great that we could use sunscreen for free. However, you really need to apply it all over, or you will get seriously burned, haha. By the way, it says the parking is free, but it actually cost $3.
モロキニ島は透明度が高かったです。欲を言えばもう少し色々な種類の魚が見たかったです。
ふたつめのポイントでは亀を2回見れました。亀の周りに人が集まっていましたが運良く先に見つけることが出来ました。
日焼け止めを無料で使えたのが良かったです。でも全身くまなく塗らないとものすごい焼けます笑
ちなみに駐車場は無料と書いてありますが、3ドルかかりました。

The weather was a bit cloudy, but the sandbar was still very beautiful. It was fun to see several sea turtles. It was disappointing that I could hardly see any fish while snorkeling, possibly because it was after the hurricane.
天気は少し曇りでしたが、それでもサンドバーはとてもキレイでした。
ウミガメも何頭も見れて楽しかったです。
ハリケーン後だったからかシュノーケルでお魚が殆ど見れなかったのが残念でした。

I participated in the tour starting at 12:00. The snorkeling lasted about an hour, followed by approximately an hour of cruising before returning. When I joined, I was lucky enough to see a sea turtle swimming.
It was great to experience something out of the ordinary while snorkeling slowly in deeper waters and swimming alongside the fish and sea turtles. The water was clearer than I expected, making it enjoyable to swim. For Japanese speakers, a simple one-page notice with precautions was provided.
12時からのツアーに参加しました。
シュノーケリングは大体1時間程度で行われました。そのあと1時間程度クルージングをして戻る流れです。
私が参加した時はタイミングよくウミガメが泳いでいるのがみれました。
深めのところをゆっくりシュノーケリングで、さかななウミガメをみながら泳ぐことで非日常を感じることができてよかったです。
また思っていたよりも海の透明度も高く泳いでいて楽しかったです。
日本人対応だと、注意事項など簡単な1枚の注意書きが書いてある紙が渡されました。

Snorkeling in the middle of the ocean, just a short cruise from Waikiki Beach... I was thrilled to see large sea turtles and fish swimming right beside me. On the way back, we cruised a bit offshore, cutting through the wind. It was a wonderful activity that allowed me to fully enjoy the ocean.
ワイキキビーチから 少しクルーズした海の真ん中で シュノーケリング・・・すぐそばで 大きなウミガメや 魚たちが泳いでいて 大感激でした。帰りは 風を切って少し沖までクルージングです。海を思う存分堪能できる 素晴らしいアクティビティーでした。

Above all, the sea was incredibly beautiful. Luckily, I was able to see couple of sea turtles and manta rays, which was amazing! If I could wish for something, since I went with children, I was walking behind everyone in the snorkeling preparation, and I got pushed back by someone who started snorkeling a bit earlier, so I didn't have enough time to enjoy snorkeling slowly. I would have liked to cut down a bit more time relaxing at the sandbar and had a few more minutes to snorkel. The time was too short, and my child was only able to practice floating. The Japanese guide, the boat captain, and all the staff were very kind, and I was able to enjoy the tour!
何より海がとってもきれいでした。運良くカップルのウミガメやマンタも見ることができ最高でした!欲をいえば、子連れで行ったのでシュノーケリングの準備にてまどりツアーのみんなの後ろを歩いていたからか、一足先にシュノーケリングを始めた人に押し戻されて、ゆっくりシュノーケリングをする時間がなかったです。
サンドバーでゆっくりする時間はもう少し削って、あと数分でも長くシュノーケリングしたかったです。時間が短すぎてこどもは浮く練習をするだけでいっぱいいっぱいでした。日本語のガイドさんや船のキャプテン、スタッフのみなさんはみな優しく、楽しくツアーに参加できました!

I was planning to sleep on the bus during the very early morning pickup, but the guide had a lively homeroom session. I couldn't sleep! They talked about Hawaii and dolphins, and it was very enjoyable and educational. We encountered dolphins twice, and the captain and other staff were wonderful. It was the best tour!
とても朝早いピックアップで、バスの中で寝て行こうと思っていましたが、ガイドさんからノリノリのホームルームがありました。寝かしてくれない!ハワイのこと、イルカのこと色々話してもらいとても楽しく、勉強になりました。

I participated with my mother, and we had a thorough lecture on how to snorkel, which made it enjoyable! We encountered many small fish up close, and they were so beautiful. It would have been even better if we had met a turtle too!
母親と参加しましたが、シュノーケリングのhow to もしっかりレクチャーあって楽しめました!
間近で沢山の小魚に出会いとってもキレイだった。あとタートルと出会えてたらもっと最高だったなー
Dear Mai Mai, thank you for joining our tour. I was quite worried because there were significant waves the previous afternoon, but thankfully, the waves from Hurricane Norman were not as big due to the low tide. I'm really glad you got to see a lot of fish up close and enjoyed snorkeling. I'm sorry we couldn't find any turtles, but I hope you and your mother will try again to meet a turtle next time. We look forward to seeing you again. Thank you very much. Mahalo!!
まいまい様、この度は私達のツアーにお越しくださり、ありがとうございます。前日の午後はかなりの波がありましたので心配していたのですが、ハリケーンノーマンの波も引き潮のおかげで前日ほど大きくもなく良かったですね。沢山の魚の群れを間近で見ていただき、シュノーケリングを楽しんでいただけたようで本当に良かったです。残念ながらカメは見つけられなくて、ごめんなさいね。是非またお母様と今度こそはカメに会えるように再度挑戦していただければと思います。お待ちしております。
本当にありがとうございました。Mahalo!!

This was the best tour of my Hawaii trip, without a doubt! We saw so many dolphins, even more than I imagined, and they even spun for us! We also saw a mother and baby sea turtle! I was truly moved because I never expected to see so many dolphins.
The guide, Julie, and the local people were so warm and welcoming; I felt really grateful to have participated in this tour! I was a bit nervous after reading reviews that mentioned the bus ride was filled with chatter, but it was not uncomfortable at all. Instead, we heard fascinating stories about the dolphins, Hawaii's history, and more—it was a super enjoyable hour that flew by!
Above all, Julie's personality was amazing! I definitely want to join this tour again when I visit Hawaii next time! Thank you so much!
今回のハワイ旅行で1番と言ってもいい程最高のツアーでした!
イルカも想像以上に沢山見れてしかもスピンまでしてくれて!!海ガメの親子まで!!!!本当にあんなに沢山のイルカ達を見れるとは思ってなかったので本当に感動しました!
そしてガイドさんのジュリさんや現地の方々が本当あたたかくてこのツアーに参加して心の底から良かったと思いました!!!
口コミで行きのバスではずーっと喋り倒してるというのを見たのでドキドキしましたが、全然嫌な感じでは無くむしろイルカの特徴、ハワイの歴史などなど本当に為になるお話しばかりですごく楽しいあっという間の1時間でした!
何よりジュリさんの人柄が良すぎました!!
またハワイに行っ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!!
Aloha Shiho,
Thank you for participating! We are very happy that you had a great time with the dolphins, and all of our staff who guided you feel the same way. The dolphins show different expressions each time. Please come and see us again!

The sandbar has beautiful water, and snorkeling was a lot of fun as I could see many fish! The staff were kind and took photos for us, and they were also fun people who really livened up the atmosphere.
Unfortunately, I could only see the sea turtles from a distance due to bad timing, so I gave it four stars, but I was very satisfied with the tour content! There were others who participated with me who saw manta rays and sea turtles while snorkeling, so if you're lucky, you might see them too! ^_^
サンドバーは水面が綺麗で、シュノーケリングはたくさんの魚を見ることができ、とても楽しかったです!スタッフの方も写真を撮ってくださり親切で、また、場を盛り上げてくれる楽しい方々でした。
タイミングが悪く、ウミガメは遠目からしか見ることができなかったため、星4つとさせてもらいましたが、ツアー内容は大変満足いくものでした!一緒に参加された方で、シュノーケリングの時に、マンタとウミガメを見れた!という方もいらっしゃったので、運が良いと見れるかもしれません^_^

The sea of Lanikai, also known as the "Heavenly Sea," was incredibly beautiful. The emerald green areas turn into sandbars during low tide, revealing sandy beaches if the timing is right. If you want to see the beach, you need to check the low tide schedule and join a tour accordingly.
After playing at the sandbar, I had a hamburger on the boat. They grilled it right there, and it was very delicious! ✨
During snorkeling, we were given bread to feed the fish, and many colorful fish gathered around, which was a lot of fun! ♪
The tour guides were also great at keeping the energy up, making it an extremely enjoyable day!!!
天国の海とも称されるラニカイの海が最高に綺麗でしたエメラルドグリーンの部分がサンドバーで浅瀬になっており、干潮のタイミングが良ければ砂浜が出るようです。もし砂浜の状態を見たいのであれば干潮の時間を調べてそれに合わせてツアーに参加する必要があります。
サンドバーで遊んだ後は、船の上でハンバーガーを食べました。その場で焼いてくれていて、とても美味しかったです✨
シュノーケリングでは餌(食パン)をもらって魚にあげてみると、鮮やかな魚たちがたくさん集まってきて楽しかったです♪
ツアーガイドのみなさんも盛り上げるのが上手で非常に楽しい1日になりました!!!
