All Reviews for Snorkeling Cruises & Tours

After 17 years since our honeymoon, we finally went to Hawaii as a family of four with our children. This was my first time participating in such an activity. In contrast to my dislike for boats, my wife and kids seemed to be having a great time. However, we set sail from the location where the scene of escaping from lava due to a volcanic eruption in "Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom" was filmed, which instantly raised my excitement as I had watched Jurassic World in the theater.

The Japanese crew on the boat were very kind and made me feel at ease during the trip. While we were playing in the heavenly sea, they grilled hamburgers on the BBQ grill at the back of the boat. I was curious about what the light meal would be, and it turned out to be hamburgers with patties and vegetables in buns. My kids love them, and they happily devoured them, saying how delicious they were!

After playing at the sandbar, we enjoyed searching for sea turtles, and we could see many from the boat. The kids were excitedly pointing out, "Look, there's one over there!" and "There's another one here!" They had a great time searching for the turtles together. Finally, we enjoyed snorkeling at a spot where lots of fish gather. Unfortunately, my kids were too scared to snorkel, but I made sure to take plenty of pictures of the fish underwater. When I showed the footage to the kids later, they were thrilled, exclaiming, "Wow! Amazing! There are so many!"

Next time, I hope my kids will practice snorkeling so they can join in properly.

新婚旅行以来１７年ぶりに子供たちと家族４人で行ったハワイで
初めて参加しました。
船が苦手な私とは対照的に妻と子供は楽しそうにはしゃいでいました。
しかし、ジュラシックワールド”炎の王国”で火山の噴火による溶岩から
恐竜を連れて港から逃げるシーンを撮影した場所からの出航で、
ジュラシックワールドを映画館で見ていた私のテンションも一気に
上がりました。
船には日本人のクルーが親切に対応してくれていて、
安心して参加することが出来ました。
天国の海で私たちが遊んでいる間に船の後方にあるBBQグリルで
ハンバーグを焼いてくれました。
軽食と書いてあったので、何だろう？と思っていたのですが
バンズにハンバーグや野菜を挟んで食べるハンバーガーでした。
子供は大好きなので大はしゃぎでおいしいと言ってペロッと食べていました！
サンドバーで遊んだ後はウミガメ探し船の上からでも何匹も
確認できるほどたくさんいて「ほら、あそこにいるよ～」
とか「こっちにもいるよ～」と兄弟でウミガメ探しを楽しんでいました。
そして、最後に魚がいっぱい集まるというポイントでシュノーケリングを
楽しみました。
残念ながら子供は怖がってシュノーケリングは出来ませんでしたが、
その分親である私が頑張って海の中の魚たちを一杯撮影しました。
後日その映像を子供たちに見せると「すごい！すごい！いっぱいいる～」
といって大変喜んでくれました。
次回子供たちはちゃんとシュノーケリングできるように練習して
参加したいと思います。

The guide, Daisuke, was knowledgeable about dolphins, and we were able to see many dolphins. Thank you very much. I would like to participate again.

ガイドのDAISUKEさんはイルカに詳しく、沢山のイルカを見ることが出来ました。
ありがとうございました。
また、参加したいと思います。

We boarded the boat and first headed a little offshore for some snorkeling. It’s not too far from the shore, but surprisingly there is quite a current and depth. That said, life vests are provided, so there’s no need to worry. We were able to swim while watching sea turtles and small fish.

During the sailing afterward, we got to see dolphins up close. However, the wind was strong offshore, which made the boat quite rocky. Additionally, being wet and exposed to the wind made it feel much colder, even though the sun was strong. I think motion sickness medication and a jacket are essential.

船に乗り込んでまずは少し沖に出て、そこでシュノーケリングです。岸からそこまで離れていないのですが意外に流れと深さがあります。とはいえライフベストが配られるので心配ありません。ウミガメや小さな魚を見ながら泳ぐことができました。
その後のセーリングではイルカを間近で見ることができました。ただし風が沖では強かったこともあってかなり揺れました。また濡れたまま風にあたるので日差しは強かったのにかなり冷えました。酔い止めと上着は必須だと思います。

We participated with my 3-year-old child, my husband, and my mother, making a group of four. By the time we returned to the port, it was drizzling, but we were blessed with great weather, creating truly wonderful memories. My mother was a bit anxious about participating since she had hurt her legs and back not long ago, but thanks to the support of our Japanese guide, Kana, she was able to safely enter the sea and was very happy. She didn't want to get out of the water! The staff on the boat were very attentive, which made us feel very secure.

My husband carried our child into the sea. Although our child wore a life jacket and snorkeling goggles, they were too scared to put their face in the water. Many kids enjoyed using boards with scopes attached to them. There were also parts of the boat where you could peek into the water, and our child was delighted to see the sea from there.

In the morning, there was a buffet on the boat with fruits, cupcakes, and drinks. For lunch, we had a choice of hamburgers or hot dogs, with patties and sausages grilled fresh on the boat in a BBQ style. I couldn't drink since I was driving, but by the end, the boat turned into a bar where we could enjoy local craft beers and other drinks. All the staff were cheerful, and we had a really fun time.

They also provided reef-safe sunscreen, which I appreciated. I felt like they thought of everything. I would love to participate again when my child is older. Thank you very much!

3歳の子供と、主人と、母の4人で参加しました。港に戻る頃には雨がぱらついていましたが、いいお天気に恵まれて本当に素晴らしい思い出になりました。
母は少し前に足腰を痛めて、参加できるか不安なまま当日を迎えましたが、日本人ガイドのカナさんのサポートのおかげで無事海にも入ることができ、とても喜んでくれました。なかなか海から上がりたがらないくらいでした。船の上でもマメに声をかけてもらえるので、とても安心しました。
子供は主人が抱いて海に入りました。ライフジャケットとシュノーケルのメガネを付けましたが、怖くて海には顔を付けられませんでした。ボードにスコープが付いたものもあり、それを使って楽しんでいた子もたくさんいましたよ。船の中でも一部、海中が覗けるようになっているところがあるので、そこで海を見て喜んでいました。
朝は船の上でフルーツやカップケーキ、ドリンクなどのバイキング。昼はハンバーガーかホットドッグで、パティやソーセージは船上グリルで焼きたてを提供するBBQスタイルです。私は車なので飲めませんでしたが、最後は港に戻るまで船上バーになり、地元のクラフトビールなどのお酒も楽しめます。スタッフの方はみんなノリがよくて、本当に楽しかったです。
サンゴに優しい日焼け止めも用意してくれています。至れり尽くせりだなと感じました。
子供が大きくなったらまた参加したいと思います。ありがとうございました。

I went snorkeling and did some stand-up paddleboarding! It was raining heavily at first, but then it cleared up and we got to see some sea turtles(^^). There were several instructors who spoke fluent Japanese, so I felt at ease♬︎ The barbecue on the boat had plenty of food, and I was very satisfied! We also got to take a group photo, and there was a service to download it for free◎ Depending on the season and weather, it might be cold, so having a jacket could be a good idea.

シュノーケリングやその他サップなどしました！最初は大雨でしたが、後に晴れてきてウミガメさんも会いに来てくれました(^^)日本語ぺらぺらのインストラクターさんが複数居てるので、安心♬︎船上バーベキューも量も沢山あって大満足でした！集合写真も撮ってもらえて、無料でダウンロード出来るサービス付きでした◎時期や天気によっては寒い可能性もありますので上着はあるといいかもです。

Such an awesome trip- got to see 3 sea turtles right off the bat. Great staff, very friendly and they go out of their way to make this experience as best they can!

My wife wanted to play with dolphins, so she participated alone. I didn't join and just watched from the side, but opportunities to interact closely with dolphins are rare. It looked like she was having a great time just watching. When I asked her later, she said it was really fun, and I thought to myself that I should have participated too. It does come with a certain cost, but considering the emotional experience you gain, I think it's worth participating!

妻がイルカと遊んでみたいというので妻のみ参加しました。私は参加せず傍らで見ていただけですが、間近でイルカとふれあえる機会などそうあることではありません。みているだけでも楽しそうでした。
あとで妻に聞いてみても、すごい楽しかったようで、私も参加しておけばなぁ…と思いました。
それなりの費用はかかりますが、得られる感動を思えば参加してみてもいいと思います！

As we moved to the point where we could see manta rays while watching the sunset, we waited for a few minutes, holding onto the side of the boat. The first manta only briefly showed itself. After that, it didn’t appear for several minutes, and I started to wonder if that was all we would see... but then, suddenly, there were so many mantas! They performed flips right in front of us. A manta with its mouth wide open, another showing its belly while flipping— it was truly a manta extravaganza. It was a moment that only those who have experienced it can understand. The return trip on the boat was cold, so wearing a windbreaker or other warm clothing is essential.

夕日を見ながらマンタの見えるポイントへ移動。
ボートサイドでボードにつかまりながらマンタを待つこと数分。
最初の1枚はチラッと姿を見せただけでした。
その後数分は姿を見せず、こんなもんなのかな…と思ってたら、その後がマンタがたくさん！
目の前で何度も宙返りをしてくれて。大きな口を開けたマンタ。宙返りでお腹を見せるマンタ。まさにマンタ尽くしでした。
体験した人にしかわからないひと時でした。
帰りのボートでの移動は寒いので、ウィンドブレーカーなど寒さ対策は必須です。

We were caught in a little rain along the way, but the boat took us into the steep cliffs and the entrance of a cave, and I was overwhelmed by the beauty of nature. I even saw a whale's tail dancing on the surface of the water in the distance. On our way back, while watching the sunset over the sea and nearing the port, the last song that played was "Let It Be," which really touched me. The captain and the crew were all very friendly. I was disappointed that I couldn't drink beer since I had to drive. The parking lot is dark and not very busy at night, so be sure not to leave any valuables in the car.

途中少し雨に降られましたが、切り立った断崖や、洞窟の入り口まで船が入り、大自然に圧倒されました。遠くに鯨の尾びれが水面に舞うのも見れました。帰路につく中、海に沈む夕陽を見ながらもうすぐ港という時に、最後に流れた曲がLet it be、思わずジーンときました。船長もクルーも皆さんフレンドリーです。自分は運転しなければならなかったので、ビールが飲めなくて残念でした。駐車場は、夜は暗くて人気が少ないので、社内に貴重品を残さないように。

The sea was very beautiful, and it was wonderful to see so many fish swimming. Also, the coral was very large, and I was breathless at the sight I saw for the first time.
The BBQ was quite affected by the heavy rain, but the hamburgers were very delicious, and I was able to enjoy it even in the downpour.

海がとても綺麗で、魚がたくさん泳いでいるのが素敵でした。また、珊瑚がとても大きくて初めて見る光景に息を呑みました。
雨がかなりひどかったBBQでしたが、ハンバーガーがとても美味しく、大雨でも楽しめました。

At first, the boat was rocking a lot, and I got seasick, but once we entered the sea, we were able to see wild dolphins and sea turtles, which became a very valuable experience.

Whether you actually encounter them depends on luck, but we were lucky to meet them.

最初は船の揺れがひどく、酔ってしまいましたが、
海に入ってからは、野生のイルカ、ウミガメを見ることができて、とても貴重な経験になりました。

実際に出会えるかは運次第のところもありますが、
自分たちは出会えてラッキーでした。

The view of the Na Pali Coast is amazing. It's definitely worth seeing at least once. Personally, I have experienced sunset cruises in Hawaii several times, but the sunset cruise in Maui, where I saw whales and dolphins, was incredible. There was live ukulele music on board playing EZ songs, which was great, but if you're just looking to see the Na Pali Coast, this cruise was fantastic.

ナパリコーストの眺めは 最高で。一度みる価値ありです。
私的には 何度かハワイのサンセットクルーズの経験ありますがマウイ島のサンセットクルーズで クジラやイルカを 見たのが凄すぎて 船内には ウクレレで
生演奏しながら EZの曲で それには
及ばないけど ナパリコーストみるだけなら最高な
クルーズでした。

I booked the Kailua Beach tour again this year. Last year, I signed up for stand-up paddleboarding, but this year we decided to relax on the beach, so we opted for the beach items and lunch package. We rented bikes on-site and first cycled to Lanikai Beach; the view from the high point was amazing, and the breeze felt great. After that, we relaxed at Kailua Beach until lunchtime! For lunch, we had pizza recommended by the local staff! The size was surprising. The taste was quite good too! After lunch, we cycled towards the town. Last year, we got pancakes to-go from Boots & Kimo's (takeout is quick and recommended by the local staff), but this year we ate crepes at Crepes No Ka Oi next door. The crepes here were also quite filling. Kailua is a very pleasant town to bike through.

昨年に引き続きカイルア・ビーチツアーを申し込みました。昨年はスタンドアップパドルを申し込みましたが、今年はビーチでゆっくりしようということになりビーチアイテム＆ランチ付きにしました。現地で追加で自転車を借り、まずはラニカイ・ビーチまでサイクリング、高台からの景色は最高で、風も気持ち良かったです。その後、カイルア・ビーチでお昼までゆっくり！！お昼は現地スタッフおすすめのピザを！！大きさにびっくりします。味もなかなか！！昼食後は、街に向けてサイクリング、昨年はブーツ＆キモズでパンケーキをテイクアウト（テイクアウトは時間がかからず、現地スタッフおすすめ）しましたが、今年はその横のクレープ・ノ・カ・オイでクレープを食べてきました。ここのクレープもなかなかボリュームありました。カイルアは、自転車で走るととても気持ちの良い街です。

When we arrived at the port, it was rainy, which was a bit disappointing, but as we went out to sea, the skies cleared up. The sandbar walk and encounters with sea turtles were a lot of fun. Snorkeling was also a valuable experience.

港に着いた時は雨模様で、少しがっかりだったが、沖合いに出るにつれ晴れ間が。サンドバーウォークや海ガメとの出会いはとても楽しかった。シュノーケルも貴重な体験でした。

I chose this plan because other tour companies didn't offer the opportunity for my 6-year-old child to enter the sea and see manta rays.

It was wonderful to see the manta rays flipping in the air up close, and I was satisfied with this precious experience. The surfboat had a blue light that attracted plankton in the center, and there were ropes around the surfboat for participants to hold onto. While holding onto the rope and peering into the water, we could see manta rays coming to eat the plankton drawn in by the blue light.

We headed to the point from Honokohau Harbor on a speedboat, which was incredibly fast and bumpy. My 6-year-old was really scared at first and clung to me. It seemed like they finally got a little used to it just before we arrived at the point. They said it would take about 20 minutes to reach the point, but it felt longer. The speed was so fast that the front of the boat would hop up and down, making it feel like a roller coaster, which was scary even for me as an adult. The manta rays were very impressive, and my children are saying they want to participate again.

6歳の子供が、海に入ってマンタを見られるのが他のツアー会社にはなかったので、こちらのプランを申し込みました。

マンタの宙返りを間近で見られたのは、とても良かったし、貴重な経験ができたので満足です。サーフボートの中央にプランクトンを集めるブルーライトがついていて、サーフボートの周りに参加者がつかまる用のロープが付いています。そのロープにつかまりながら、海の中を覗くと、ブルーライトに引き寄せられたプランクトンを食べにマンタがやってくるスタイルです。

ホノコウハーバーから、スピードボートでポイントに向かうのですが、凄いスピードかつ、揺れも凄いので6歳の子供は初めはすごく怖がって、私にしがみついていました。ポイントに着く直前位にやっと少し慣れたようでした。ポイント到着まで大体20分と言うことでしたが、もっと長かったように思います。スピードが早くてボートの先端がホッピングするように浮いたり着水したりするので、ジェットコースターに乗っているような感覚で、大人の私も怖かったです。マンタ、とても感動したので、子供達はまた参加したいと言っています。

I had a wonderful time with the lovely guide and staff! I was a bit anxious since I had a child with me, but the sandbar was shallow enough for my 2-year-old to enjoy, and we even got to see sea turtles, which was so exciting! The guide was very considerate, and we were in a great mood the whole time! I was also happy that they actively took photos for us!

Snorkeling was a bit too early for my 2-year-old, so we took turns enjoying it. The food was delicious, and having unlimited drinks was great too.

素敵なガイドさんとスタッフさんで楽しい時間を過ごせました(^^)子供づれだったので不安でしたが、サンドバーは浅瀬で2歳児でも楽しめて海亀も見れて大興奮♫ガイドさんが気遣ってくださり、終始ご機嫌でした！写真も積極的に撮ってくださり嬉しかったです！
シュノーケリングは流石に2歳には早かったので代わり番こに楽しみました。
ご飯も美味しくドリンク飲み放題なのもいいですね。

A woman from the United States (about the size of a sumo wrestler) fell due to strong waves and started bleeding from her toes. The crew member (a fourth-generation Okinawan) responded promptly and effectively, which was impressive, especially while the yacht was rocking from the waves.

米国の女性（相撲取りくらいのサイズ）が、波が強くて転び、足の先から血が出てしまった際の、乗組員（沖縄４世）のてきぱきとした対応が素晴らしかった。（波でヨットが揺れながらの対応）

Had so much Fun.. what an amazing Experience. Would Recommend to all my family . A must when you come to Hawaii..

It was one of a kind tour. The Sand bar was very mesmerizing. Great views all around. The volleyball we played was super fun.

Turtle watching was good but not outstanding. We were able to spot a few.

However the highlight was snorkeling. Great location choosen for the activity. Amazing variety of fishes and plantlife was spotted while snorkeling.

I loved the tour and would definitely recommend it to anyone in Oahu.

Every part of the itinerary was truly wonderful, but what stood out the most was the hospitality of the staff! While I was playing at the sandbar, I dropped my glasses and was in trouble, but all the staff helped me look for them, and miraculously, they were found! Jamie, in particular, willingly took part in the search and was a great help!! Thank you for the lovely tour! The lunch we had on the boat was also very delicious.

すべての行程が本当に素晴らしかったのですが、特に素晴らしかったのが、スタッフの方々のホスピタリティー！
サンドバーで遊んでいるときに、メガネを落としてしまって、困っていたところに、スタッフ全員で探してもらい、奇跡的に見つかりました！特にジェイミーは快く捜索をかって出てくれて、本当に助かりました！！
素敵なツアーをありがとうございます！
船の上で頂いたランチもとても美味しかったです。

Dan was an awesome guide. Once he picked us up he gave us lots of little facts about Honolulu in general as we drove out. He was also very knowledgeable in answering our questions.

I liked that it was such a small group and felt that we all got some one on one time with the instructor as we needed.

Overall it was an amazing day and an experience I’ll remember for the rest of my life.

Highly recommend!

Had a long dive with the turtles. We saw 6-8 turtles and tons of fish. Crew was super friendly and very accommodating to our needs. Felt very safe with my 11 year old daughter with us. Snacks were plentiful as most were hungry after the dive. We had a nice sail after the dive too.

I participated with my child who is almost 2 years old, and we both had a great time. Since my child is still small, we didn't go snorkeling, but just floating in the sea with a life jacket was enough fun. The hamburgers and beer we had on the boat were also excellent. The staff's service was wonderful, and it became a very nice memory.

もうすぐ2歳になる子供と参加しましたが、親子でとても楽しめました。
まだ子供が小さいためシュノーケリングはしませんでしたが、ライフジャケットをつけて海に浮いてるだけでも十分楽しめました。また船上で食べたハンバーガーとビールも最高でした。
スタッフの皆さんの対応も素晴らしく、とても良い思い出になりました。

Our guides were really patient and very good at what they do. Not only do they make the whole gearing up and organizing details easy they taught my 6 year old daughter to snorkel and she actually did it! She is shy and was refusing for weeks, telling me she would not snorkel and I was quite prepared to sit on the beach with her but they wasted no time in teaching her directly 1 on 1 and getting her to put her face in the water while I got to snorkel close by. It was really great and she loved it, I loved it and the rest of the family did too. We saw beautiful fish and spent the time all pointing at things and saying "look" under water. A great day! Thank you so much!

I suddenly decided to go to Hawaii, so I made a reservation for the day I would leave Japan. When I went to the sandbar, where the water gets about 10 centimeters deep, I was surprised to see a honu (sea turtle) appear! This was my first honu encounter this time. During the cruise, I saw about 6 to 7 honu. The hamburgers for lunch were freshly grilled on the boat and were delicious. The snorkeling spot was filled with colorful fish, and I enjoyed it, but unfortunately, I couldn't swim with the honu due to bad timing. The staff were very friendly and helped me enjoy the Hawaiian sea after a long time.

急にハワイに行くことになったので日本を出発する日に予約しました。
サンドバーはひざ下10センチくらいで深くなる境に行った時にちょうどホヌがあらわれてビックリ！今回の初ホヌでした。
クルーズでは６～７のホヌをみられました。
ランチのハンバーガーも船上で焼き立てをいただき美味しかったです。
シュノーケリングのポイントは色とりどりの魚がいて楽しめましたがタイミングが悪くホヌと一緒には泳げませんでした。
スタッフの方もいろいろ声をかけてkudasari久しぶりのハワイの海を楽しめました。

I participated alone, but I could communicate in Japanese, and the staff were always attentive. There were continuous events, so I really had a great time the whole time. The water and juice were all-you-can-drink, and the snacks, including the cheeseburgers, were very delicious. There were also restrooms, and the boat was clean. I would love to go again when I visit Oahu.

一人参加でしたが 日本語ま通じるし スタッフの方々も 常に 気配りして下さり 次々に イベントがあるので 本当にずーっと 楽しかったです。
お水やジュースは 飲み放題だし スナック チーズバーガーま とても 美味しかったです。
トイレもあり 船も綺麗でした。
オアフ島に来たら また 行きたいです。

Taking a helicopter ride around half of the Big Island offers a rare experience where you can witness "the Earth being alive." Driving this route by car takes over eight hours. The last time I visited, I drove around in a rental car, but it took a long time, and I ended up driving in complete darkness. I decided that next time, I would definitely take a helicopter.

With a helicopter, you can see the Haleakalā crater from above in just two hours, and you can land in valleys that are inaccessible by car, allowing you to enjoy waterfalls all to yourself.

Pilot TOSHI, who is Japanese, provides thorough explanations, so there's no need to worry about the language barrier. I highly recommend experiencing your first helicopter flight on the Big Island!

ヘリに乗ってハワイ島を半周すると、「地球が生きていること」を目の当たりにすることができる貴重な経験ができます。
このコースをクルマでドライブすると8時間以上かかります。前回来た時にレンタカーで回りましたが、時間がかかり、真っ暗な中を運転するはめになり、次回は絶対、ヘリでと、決めていました。
ヘリであれば、たった2時間で、しかもクルマでは見られないハレアカラの火口を上空から見ることができ、クルマではいけない渓谷に着陸して、滝を独り占めすることもできます。
日本人パイロットのTOSHIさんが、丁寧に解説してくれるので、言葉の心配はありません。
ヘリ飛行の初体験をぜひハワイ島で！おススメします。

I was moved by my first experience at the sandbar! It was also my first time seeing a beautiful heart-shaped sandbar! I was able to meet many honu (sea turtles)!

サンドバーは初体験で感動しました～
綺麗なハート形のサンドバーも初でした～
たくさんのホヌに会うことが出来ました❗

This was a place I had wanted to visit since I saw it in photos. I participated in this tour and was very satisfied.

There were two boats. One was exclusively for Japanese people, and the other was for people from other countries, as there were many Japanese participants. The main staff were also Japanese (Yuki was wonderful!) and they made the tour lively with their guidance and fun conversations. Even though other staff members weren't fluent in Japanese, they were all very friendly, engaging with everyone and making an effort to enhance the experience. This tour is perfectly fine even if you can't speak English.

The water level at the sandbar was higher than I expected, but the white sandy beach of coral that emerges in the middle of the ocean and the color contrast with the deep sea was something I had never seen before; it was truly beautiful and moving. I sincerely wished I had a camera-equipped drone. I will definitely bring one next time!

The BBQ hamburger for lunch was delicious, with a thick patty. Alcohol was $5 per drink (settled at the end), and soft drinks were unlimited. It was explained that there was a minimum of $20 for purchasing alcohol with a credit card.

As for turtle watching, since they are not domesticated, I think it's a matter of luck. However, I was able to see them several times. Snorkeling takes place in areas where you can't touch the bottom, but with life jackets, ropes to hold onto, and all the necessary fins and masks provided, it felt safe. However, the current can be quite strong, so it might be a bit challenging for those who are not confident swimmers. We swam around areas where the distance from the surface to the coral was close, but it was disappointing to see some people walking on the coral despite being told not to. Since the tour is explained in Japanese, I hope participants will listen carefully and follow the rules to protect the beautiful nature.

When returning to the port or after snorkeling when getting back on the boat, it can get quite cold as the boat moves while you're still wet. Since there isn't much time to change before arriving at the port, I recommend bringing a large bath towel to wrap around yourself.

There is a tip box when you disembark, so it might be good to bring some cash. Tipping is not very familiar to Japanese people, but it's a way to express gratitude for a good time, so I hope you will consider showing your appreciation. Thank you to all the staff!

写真で見たときから「行きたい！」と思っていた場所でした。こちらのツアーに参加して大満足です。

船は2隻。1隻は日本人専用ともう1隻はそれ以外の国の人たちに分けられるぐらいに、日本人が多かったです。メインスタッフの方も日本人で（Yukiさん素敵！）ガイドや楽しいお喋りでツアーを盛り上げてくれました。他のスタッフも日本語が堪能ではなくても、みんなに話しかけてくれたり気を使ってくれたり盛り上げてくれたりと、皆さん素敵な人達でした。英語話せなくても大丈夫なツアーです。

サンドバーの水位は思っていたよりもあったのですが、海のど真ん中に出てくるあの白いサンゴの砂浜と深い海の堺の色合いが、今まで見たことがないもので、本当に綺麗で感動しました。カメラ付きドローンを欲しかったと切実に思いました。次回は必ず！

ランチのBBQハンバーガーも、パティが分厚くて美味しかったです。アルコールは一杯5ドル（最後にまとめて清算）、ソフトドリンクは飲み放題でした。クレジットカードでアルコールを購入する人は、ミニマム20ドルと説明がありました。

カメウォッチングは、飼われている訳ではないので運だと思います。でも、何度か見ることが出来ました。シュノーケリングは、足が付かない場所でするのですが、ライフジャケットを付けたり、ロープにつかまったり、フィンやマスクなども完備なので安心です。ただ、結構流されるので泳ぎに自信がない人は少し大変かもしれません。海面とサンゴまでの距離が近いところの「まわり」を泳ぐのですが、サンゴに立たないでくださいと言われていながらも上を歩いている人がいてとても残念でした。日本語で説明してくれるツアーなので、綺麗な自然を守るためにも、ツアー参加する人たちにはちゃんと説明を聞いてルールを守って欲しいと思いました。

港へ帰る時やシュノーケリングが終わって船へ上がってからは、全身濡れている中船が走るので、結構寒いかと思います。着替える時間もなく港へ到着するので、大判のバスタオルなどを羽織ると良いかと思います。

船を降りる時にチップボックスがあるので、少し現金を持って行くと良いかと思います。日本人にはあまりなじみのないチップですが、良い時間を過ごせた、ありがとうという気持ちなので、ぜひ心遣いを渡して欲しいなと思います。スタッフの皆さん、ありがとうございました！

I participated alone, but the friendly staff made it a very enjoyable experience. Thank you, Julie, for entertaining us and teaching us about dolphins! I learned so many new things and had a great time. I was also really happy to swim with the pod of dolphins up close. It was great that I wasn't limited to just one time; I got to swim with the dolphins multiple times. It was a wonderful day!

一人での参加でしたが、気さくなスタッフの方ばかりでとても楽しめました。ジュリーさん、楽しませてくださったり、イルカの事を教えてくださりありがとうございました！知らない事が沢山あり楽しかったです。また、イルカの群れと至近距離で泳げて、すごく嬉しかったです。1回で終わりでなく、何度もイルカと泳がせてくれたのが私には良かったです。とても良い1日でした！
