This tour was simply AWESOME.
Pod of dolphins on arrival at the reef, initially 3 turtles, but shortly joined by another 2.
An experience of a lifetime and undoubtedly a highlight of our trip.
Crew were brilliant, friendly, helpful and 'down to earth' making it an overall experience well worth doing.

We signed up as a family of six, and my elderly mother joined us for the tour while five of us, including my two elementary school-aged sons, participated! With the support of our guide Chieko, even as a beginner, I was able to see not only sea turtles but also many beautiful fish! We swam for about an hour, and my younger son, who is in lower elementary school, had to take a break and head back to the beach, but I was really glad we got to see the sea turtles before that.
Even if you're not confident in your swimming skills, there's no need to worry about drowning; as long as you can breathe calmly through your mouth, you should be fine. There will be explanations during the preparation phase, but since we swim close to the rocky areas and the water temperature is lower in the morning, I think it's better for those who are concerned to rent a wetsuit.
I was tired, but I was truly satisfied to see the underwater world that I've only seen on TV. After the tour, my two sons immediately bought snorkeling sets at ABC Store. If I have the chance, I would definitely like to participate again.
家族6人で申し込み、1人年配の母は見学で小学生2人の息子を含む5名で参加しました!
ガイドのchiekoさんのサポートもあり、初心者私も含めてウミガメはもちろん、綺麗な魚をたくさん見ることが出来ました!
約1時間泳ぎっぱなしになるので低学年の次男は途中で浜辺へ引き上げましたが、その前にウミガメが見れて本当に良かったです。
泳ぎに自信がなくても溺れる心配はなく、落ち着いて口呼吸さえできれば問題ないと思います。
準備段階で説明がありますが、岩場のすぐそばを泳ぐこと、午前中は水温も低めのため気になる方はウエットスーツをレンタルされた方が良いと思います。
疲れましたが、テレビ等でしか見たことのない海の中を実際に見れて本当に満足です。
息子2人はツアー終了後、早速ABCストアでシュノーケリングセットを購入しました。
機会があれば、ぜひまた参加したいと思います。

I had an incredibly fun experience with the activities. I thought the meeting time was until 8:30, but people started gathering around that time. I had read in reviews that there were hardly any Japanese people here, but that you could manage even without speaking English. However, there were a few groups of Japanese people besides myself, and there were also some groups speaking English, so I asked them to help translate.
When it was time, the woman at the reception said, "Follow me!" and guided us to board the Holokai Catamaran. It turns out you have to be barefoot on the yacht. Also, since boarding is from the beach and not the dock, if you wear pants that shouldn’t get wet, you will almost certainly get wet when boarding. I recommend changing into your swimsuit at this point.
I was able to see two sea turtles, a mother and her baby. They came up to the surface several times, but I missed seeing them. When the sea turtles are spotted, the divers will say, "Come on!!" so you will almost certainly encounter them. Other tour groups were also at the same spot. It was stated that fins were available for a fee, but everyone was given them for free. I wonder if that has changed?
After snorkeling, we enjoyed sailing with the sails catching plenty of wind. The outboard motor was lifted, so it was completely sail-powered. We sailed close to Diamond Head. During sailing, snacks were free, but drinks were for purchase. I felt a bit seasick from the waves while snorkeling, and since the boat was still rocking during sailing, I thought I would get seasick again. However, while chatting with the group that helped translate, I didn’t feel seasick at all. Interestingly, the locals were drinking beer and alcohol quite freely. I wonder how they don’t get seasick...
Especially after snorkeling, the sailing was refreshing and felt great. If you’re not worried about seasickness, I think enjoying a beer would be the best.
I thoroughly enjoyed both snorkeling and sailing.
最高に楽しいアクティビティが体験できました。
集合は、8:30までかと思ったら、8:30になったらパラパラと人が集まってきた感じでした。
ここの体験談で、日本人がほぼ皆無だが、英語ができなくてもなんとかなるというのを見ていたのですが、私以外にも何組か日本人のグループがおり、英語を話していたグループの方もいたので、その人達に声をかけ通訳の代わりをしてもらいました。
時間になったら受付の女性の方が「Follow me!」と言って乗船するホロカイ・カタマラン号まで案内してくれました。
ヨットの中では裸足でないと駄目だそうです。
そして乗船は桟橋ではなく砂浜からなので、濡れては行けないズボンを履いていくと乗るときにほぼ確実に濡れます。
この時点で脱いで水着になっておくことをお薦めします。
ウミガメは2匹の親子が見れました。
何度か水面に上がってきたそうですが、自分は見そびれました。
ウミガメが見えたらダイバーの方が「Come on!!」って教えてくれますので、ほぼ確実にウミガメに出会えるでしょう。
そして、他のツアーのグループも同じポイントにいました。
フィン(足ヒレ)は有料と書いてありましたが、全員無料で貸してくれました。変わったのかな?
シュノーケリングのあとは、帆にいっぱい風を受けてセーリング。
船外機は引き上げられているので、完全に無動力です。
ダイヤモンドヘッドの近くまでセーリングしてくれました。
セーリング中は、スナック菓子はFree。ドリンクは有料。
シュノーケリング中に波に乗って若干船酔い気味で、セーリング中も揺れているのでこのままでは船酔いすると思い、波風に当たりながら、通訳をしてくれたグループの方々と喋っていたら、船酔いは全くしなかったです。
その点、現地人であろう方々は、ビールや酒をガブガブ飲んでいました。
酔わないんだろうか・・・。
特にシュノーケリングの後のセーリングは、シュノーケリングの疲れを癒やしてくれて気持ちよかったです。
船酔いが心配なければ、ビールも飲めて最高だったと思います。
シュノーケリングとセーリング、どちらも十分に楽しめました。

This time, we participated as a couple. Originally, we planned to walk on the lava, but due to the incredible force of the eruption, it has been canceled. It’s quite expensive, but I felt sorry for the residents of Hawaii for this rare situation that happens once every few hundred years, and I wanted to see it with my own eyes.
I was very satisfied with the actual participation. We were the only Japanese people there, but since I mentioned that we couldn't speak English, we weren't approached for conversation, and we were able to enjoy ourselves together.
今回夫婦で参加しました。本当は溶岩の上を歩く予定でしたが、噴火の勢いがすごく今中止になってるため、いいお値段しますが、何百年に1回のこの惨状をハワイの住人には申し訳ないけどこの目でしっかり見ておきたかったです。

We thoroughly enjoyed the Manta Ray excursion. The tour guide was great with telling us about the history of this tour and details about the behavior and nature of these Manta Rays. My daughter was most impressed. Although she’s 9yo and a good swimmer, she was still a little nervous about snorkeling at night and meeting these Manta Rays that could come inches to your face. However, the tour guide has made everyone felt safe and she was able to enjoy the magnificence of these gentle sea creatures. Highly recommended
Thank you for joining us and thank you for taking the time to write a review. We are happy to hear you and your family enjoyed the manta excursion. Aloha!

The tour that day consisted of just two people, including myself, who had snorkeling experience. I'm grateful they held the tour with the minimum number of participants.
First, we searched for dolphins off the coast of Kailua-Kona. There were many tour boats gathering around a pod of dolphins, and the sea was already filled with people! The waters off Kailua-Kona were as crowded as Takeshita Street! Amidst all this, Captain K skillfully predicted the dolphins' movements and dropped us in an area with fewer people.
By repeating the process of moving the boat, dropping us, surfacing, and moving again, we were able to chase the pod of dolphins more dynamically, doubling our chances! Dolphins surfaced right in front of us to breathe and passed by!
According to our guide, "Dolphins will avoid people if they're in a bad mood," but today we were lucky, and the dolphins didn't seem to mind people. It was a lucky day! I had a fantastic time on the tour! When I visit the Big Island again, I will definitely join another tour! Mahalo!

It was my first time snorkeling, and I was satisfied! I thought the photos would have been prettier if the weather had been better, but I was glad to see a sea turtle! There weren't any 17cm fins or floaties for children, but it was fine to wrap a stick as a substitute for a float or swim side by side.
初シュノーケルでしたが満足です☆天気がもっと良ければ写真も綺麗だったかなぁと思いましたが、海ガメも見られて良かったです!

The pickup was at 5:50 AM.
Just as the rumors said, Julie was amazing! She was very cute and full of energy, and thanks to her, the tour was a lot of fun!
I was feeling uneasy due to lack of sleep, jet lag, and being prone to seasickness, but I thought I could manage with some motion sickness medication.
The boat didn't sway too much, but after we got into the water for a while, I started to feel seasick.
However, I forgot about feeling sick because I was so focused on taking pictures of the dolphins, and I even saw baby dolphins!
When we returned to the boat to move to the sea turtle point, I remembered that I had been feeling sick.
The sea turtles swam really close to us, and there were so many of them; it was truly moving.
On the way back, I completely crashed and slept the whole time, but I think it was a great tour!
The crew members were all really nice. It was the best.
Since it was cold, I definitely recommend borrowing a wetsuit (everyone in our group borrowed one).
I also think it's a good idea to bring a bath towel (it gets cold after you take off the wetsuit).
You'll be swaying on the sea for about three hours, so motion sickness medication is a must. I want to participate in this tour again after somehow overcoming seasickness.
I was also happy to receive the group photo via email right after the tour! 😊
朝5:50のピックアップでした。
噂通りのジュリさん!笑
とてもかわいくて元気いっぱいで彼女のおかげで楽しいツアーでした!

船はそこまで揺れなかったですが、海に入ってしばらくしたら波酔いしてしまいました。
でもイルカがたくさん見えて、赤ちゃんイルカも見えて、写真を撮るのに夢中で気持ち悪くなっていたことも忘れました。
ウミガメのポイントへ移動するため船に戻ると、酔っていたことを思い出しました。笑
ウミガメもすっごく近くで泳いでくれて、たくさんいて、感動しました。
帰りの船は完全ダウンでずっと寝てしまいましたが、とてもいいツアーだったと思います!

寒いのでウエットスーツは絶対に借りたほうがいいです。(私たちのクラスは全員借りてました)

約3時間海の上で揺られることになるので、酔い止めは必須。どうにか船酔いを克服してまた参加したいツアーです。笑

In the afternoon session I participated in, there were two Japanese and five foreigners. I joined alone and was worried because I’m not very good at swimming and don’t have much stamina, but Chieko and Dan helped me throughout, and I was able to enjoy it until the end. The sand was swirling, so the visibility wasn’t excellent, but I was able to see many beautiful fish and sea turtles. They also took photos, which can be downloaded for free from Facebook, so I think that’s considerate. It was a hot summer day, but there were many cold spots in the sea, and I often found myself shivering. Out of the seven participants, five were able to swim from one end of Hanauma Bay to the other. This was my second time participating in a snorkeling tour, and I felt that you really need to be able to swim to some extent and have stamina to enjoy it fully. Overall, I was very satisfied with the tour and had a great time.
私の参加した午後の部は、日本人2名、外国人5名でした。私は1人参加で、泳ぎも得意なほうではなく、体力もあまりないため、心配していましたが、チエコさん、ダンさんに終始手を引いていただき、何とか最後まで楽しむことが出来ました。砂が舞っていて透明度は抜群とは言えませんでしたが、たくさんのキレイなお魚や海ガメも見ることが出来ました。写真も撮っていただき、Facebookから無料でDL出来るので、良心的だと思います。夏の暑い日ではありましたが、海は冷たいところも多くあり、震えることも多かったです。7名中5名は、ハナウマ湾の端から端まで泳げました。シュノーケリングツアーに参加するのが2回目でしたが、やはりある程度、泳げて、体力もないと厳しいと感じました。ツアー自体は、とても満足がいったし、楽しかったです。
Thank you for joining the tour. Since we went out to sea from the keyhole that day, it might have been more challenging than swimming inside. However, I believe you were able to keep going until the end because Mr. Dan was there to guide you the whole time. I'm glad you got to see the sea turtles as well.
Please feel free to come back anytime if you have the opportunity. Thank you very much. Mahalo!!
この度はツアーにお越しくださり、ありがとうございます。この日はキーホールから沖へ出ましたので、インサイドを泳ぐよりも難しかったかもしれませんね。でもずーっとダン先生が一緒に引っ張って泳いでくれていましたから、最後まで頑張っていただけたかと思います。ウミガメにも会えて良かったですね。
是非また機会がありましたら、いつでもリピートで来てくださいね。
本当にありがとうございました。Mahalo!!

First of all, this activity is a test of physical strength and mental stamina. It's not recommended for those who are prone to motion sickness.
Regular motion sickness medication may not be effective, so it's best to take a stronger anti-nausea medication in advance.
Additionally, a wetsuit (10 dollars) is essential. It gets very cold on the water, and the 40-minute manta ray viewing can be quite tough. The return trip is especially challenging. The water is extremely cold after sunset, and even in summer, a wet body can feel freezing.
In addition to drying off, it's necessary to bring a towel for warmth, so make sure to take a thick one.
That said, you don't need to worry about not seeing manta rays; they come quite close and swim around, providing a thrilling manta ray show.
Moreover, it seems that other tour companies are watching from a distance, likely due to the equipment of this tour, so they aren't very close. If you want to enjoy the closest manta rays, I recommend this tour.
The guide, Alicia, speaks Japanese, which I thought was very good.
Lastly, I want to emphasize again that managing your health and body temperature, as well as maintaining your physical and mental stamina, is essential. I do not recommend bringing children. The family next to us had to leave because their child couldn't handle it.
When we returned to the boat, we had a hard time getting the raft close, and our stamina was running low; it felt like we were about to get lost. The sea might have been rough, but it was quite dangerous. My wife was on the verge of getting lost or drowning.
Also, after the tour, the area around the parking lot is pitch dark, and there are no facilities like showers. The only thing available is a dimly lit restroom.
Changing clothes is impossible, so it's best to head back as you are. It's scary even without considering safety concerns.
まず、このアクティビティは体力と気力勝負です。
乗り物酔いする方にもお勧めできません。
車の酔い止め程度では効きませんので
ちょっと強めの酔い止めを事前に飲んでおきましょう
更に、ウェットスーツ(10ドル)は必須です。
洋上は非常に寒く、40分間の海の上でのマンタ見学も
かなり辛いものになります。
特に辛いのは帰りです。日の落ちた洋上は非常に寒く
濡れた身体は、夏でも凍えるほどです。
身体を拭くのとは別に保温用としてのタオルは必須で
厚手のものを持って行きましょう
さて、だからと言ってマンタが見れなかった訳では
ありませんのでご安心を、かなり近くまでマンタが
寄ってきて回遊しますので、迫力あるマンタショーが
体験できました。
しかも他社のツアーは、このツアーの設備目当てに
周りで見ているようなので、あまり近くに居ないようです。
最接近のマンタを楽しみたいなら、このツアーをお勧めします。
ガイドはアリシアちゃんが日本語を喋れるので
非常に良かったと思います。
最後にもう一度だけ言っておくと
体調と体温の管理、体力と気力の保持は必須です。
お子様も連れて行くのはお勧めしません。
隣の家族は途中で子供が根を上げて、帰ってしまったようでした。
我々も船に帰る際になかなかイカダが船が近づけず
体力もキツくなってきて、それはもう遭難しそうでした
海が荒れていたのかも知れませんが、かなり危なかったです。
妻はもう遭難か溺れる寸前でした。
あと、終わると駐車場周辺は真っ暗闇で、シャワーも何も設備はありません。
あるのはうす暗いトイレのみです。
着替えるのは無理なので、そのまま帰りましょう
治安とか考えなくても怖いですよ

以前は年に数回しか見れないアザラシでしたが、最近はよくハナウマ湾にお昼寝をしに来てくれるようになりました。
泳ぎが苦手とおっしゃっていた旦那様、とてもお上手でしたよ。ウェットスーツを借りていただいたのも良かったのかもしれませんね。またハワイにお越しの際にはいつでもお手伝いさせていただきますので、是非またツアーにお越しくださいね。
本当にありがとうございました。Mahalo!!

It was my first time snorkeling. The sea was very beautiful, and I got to see a lot of fish! It was a bit cloudy and cold that day, and I was disappointed that I didn't get to see a sea turtle, but I had a great time.
初めてのシュノーケリングでした。とても海は綺麗で魚にもたくさん会えました!当日は少し曇っており寒かったのとウミガメに会えなかったのは残念でしたが楽しかったです。

I participated in the afternoon tour.
The sea turtles were friendly with the staff and came close to us, which was very exciting. The sea turtles are so cute!
I wasn't feeling well, so I skipped snorkeling, but in the meantime, I enjoyed stand-up paddleboarding and other activities.
If I have the chance, I would like to join the morning tour.
午後のツアーに参加しました。
ウミガメがスタッフさんたちになついていて、近くに寄ってきてくれたので、大変盛り上がりました。
ウミガメかわいい!
少し体調が悪かったので、シュノーケリングはやめておきましたが、
その間にスタンドアップパドルなどが楽しめました。
機会があれば、午前ツアーに参加してみたいです。
Aloha! Thank you for joining the Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour. Sea turtles are really cute, aren't they? Next time, please try snorkeling as well. You might even get to swim with the sea turtles! We look forward to seeing you again.
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。
海がめって本当に可愛いですよね。今度はぜひシュノーケッリングも挑戦してくださいね。もしかしたら海がめと一緒に泳げるかも!?? お待ちしてます。

On the day of the event, it was cloudy, but I felt it was better than rain, so I participated. At the sandbar, the water level was up to my knees, but that was within expectations. The staff took a lot of photos and kept the atmosphere lively on the boat, which made it enjoyable. If there's one thing I would like to see improved, it's that many people were kicking at the surface while snorkeling, which made the water murky. I hope they can provide a stronger reminder at the beginning.
当日は雲でしたので、雨よりはマシという気持ちで参加しました。
サンドバーでは膝あたりまで水位がありましたが、想定内でした。
スタッフの方々がたくさん写真も撮ってくださったり、船上で盛り上げてくださるので、楽しませてもらいました。
一点改善いただきたいことがあるとすれば、
シュノーケリングの際に、水面でバタ足をする人が多く、水中が濁っていました。
もっとはじめのタイミングでしっかり注意を促してほしいなと思いました。

Snorkeling near the coral reef
On the day of the tour, it was cloudy with occasional rain until we reached Angel's Sea, but it cleared up around the turtle watching. Since it's a sightseeing spot by the sea, satisfaction can greatly depend on the weather, but the crew was very cheerful, and we were able to have a great time throughout the experience.

I participated on the first night after arriving on the Big Island. Even though the encounter rate is 99%, I was worried that I might not see any... but that was not the case!! A total of nearly six manta rays appeared, showing their bellies while feeding. They came so close that it felt like I could touch them, and it was an amazing sight. The guide was also very kind and attentive, and I had a truly wonderful time. Next time I come to the Big Island, I would like to participate in the manta ray experience again.
ハワイ島に到着した初日の夜に参加しました。
遭遇率99%といえど、もしかしたら会えないかも…と心配していましたか、なんのその!!
合計6羽近くのマンタが現れ、お腹を見せてご飯を食べてくれました。
触れてしまいそうな距離まで来てくれ、圧巻の光景でした。
ガイドのお姉さんも親切丁寧に対応してくれ、とても素晴らしい時間を過ごさせていただきました。
次回ハワイ島に来るときは、またマンタ大学に参加したいと思います。
Aloha, Miporin,
Thank you for participating in the manta tour. We are all thrilled that you were able to experience the excitement of seeing wild mantas up close enough to touch.
When you come to Oahu again, we also have tours such as the Dolphin Middle School and University, so we look forward to your next visit.
Mahalo!!

この度はマンタツアーにご参加頂き、ありがとうございます。
野生のマンタ達を触れるほどの近距離でみる迫力を体験していただけてスタッフ一同嬉しい限りです。
オアフ島にお越しの際はイルカ中学・大学などのツアーもございますので、またのお越しをお待ちしております。

This was the highlight of our trip to Hawaii! My wife, who can't swim, managed to snorkel all the way to the end. We got close to a sea turtle and thoroughly enjoyed the Hawaiian waters! I highly recommend it!
今回のハワイ旅行で一番の当たりでした!
泳げない妻が、必死にシュノーケリングで最後まで泳ぎ切りました。
海ガメとも接近でき、ハワイの海を満喫しました‼️
おすすめです❗
Aloha! Was it your wife's first time snorkeling? I'm sure you feel even prouder of her now. Please come back and visit us again. Mahalo.
アロハ!奥様シュノーケル初挑戦でしたか!? 奥様のことをより一層自慢に思われたのでは。
またお二人遊びにいらしてくださいね。マハロ。

Regarding the sandbar, the tides are important, so I think you'll have a great time if you consider that when booking a tour. On the day we went, the water level was just about knee-deep, so the white sandy beach was visible and it was really beautiful!
サンドバーに関しては、潮の満ち干が重要なので、それを考慮してツアーを申し込むと、とても楽しめると思います。私たちが利用した日は、海面が丁度膝下くらいの高さだったので、白い砂浜が見えてすごくきれいでした!

The Molokini Island tour was amazing. The water clarity was outstanding. And the detailed attention from our Japanese guide, Takako, was wonderful. Above all, her kind and cheerful demeanor made the experience very enjoyable. I would love to do it again. Thank you!
モロキニ島ツアーは最高でした。海の透明度は最高でした。そして日本人ガイドのたか子さんの細かな対応。何よりも親切な明るい対応でとても楽しく過ごせました。またリピートしたいです。ありがとうございました

I had an amazing time! The staff were fun and shared a lot of interesting stories, so I was never bored. I laughed a lot! A turtle also came by, and I was able to swim with it. It was incredible! Thank you for taking so many photos as well. The barbecue on the boat was delicious, and I even had seconds. I thought I might get seasick, but since the boat was only moving for about five minutes and then we were just floating around in the sea, I didn't feel sick at all. I couldn't do snorkeling, but I borrowed various things like a bodyboard and stand-up paddleboard and had a great time playing.
すごーく楽しかったです!スタッフの方が楽しい方で、たくさん面白い事を喋ってくれてまったく退屈しませんでした。大笑いでした!亀さんも来てくれて一緒に泳ぐ事ができました。すごい!写真もたくさん撮っていただきありがとうございました(^^)船上のバーベキューも美味しかったです。おかわりもしました。酔うかなと思ったけど、船は5分くらいであとは海でぷかぷか遊んでたのでまったく酔いませんでした。シュノーケルが無理なので、ボディボードやスタンダップパドル等色々貸していただいていっぱい遊びました。
Aloha! You must have had a perfect time playing, laughing, and eating a lot in the heavenly sea with your family. Please come back to visit us again. We will be waiting for that day along with the sea turtles.
アロハ!天国の海でいっぱい遊んで、いっぱい笑って、いっぱい食べて。ご家族でなんてパーフェクトに楽しんでいただけたんでしょう。
またきっと遊びにいらしてくださいね。その日を海がめとともにお待ちしております。

Thank you, Papa, for bringing your whole family this time. I'm glad to hear that everyone enjoyed themselves; both Dan and I are very happy about it. On this day, as well as recently, Hawaiian monk seals have been coming to Hanauma Beach to take their naps quite often. It was really great to see the seals before snorkeling and to swim with the cute turtles in the ocean! Please do come back with your family again. We are always looking forward to your visit. Thank you very much. Mahalo!!
なおパパ様、この度はご家族皆様でお越しいただき、ありがとうございます。皆様に楽しんでいただけたようで、私もダンも嬉しく思います。この日もそうですが、最近はハワイアンモンクシール(アザラシ)がよくお昼寝をしにハナウマのビーチに来てくれるようになりました。シュノーケリング前にアザラシを見て、海では可愛い亀さんと一緒に泳げて本当に良かったですね!!是非またご家族でリピートしてくださいね。いつでもお待ちしております。
本当にありがとうございました。Mahalo!!
