I've participated in the afternoon tour several times, but it seemed like the water level was lower before... This time, while walking to the sandbar, the water level reached about my mother's chest (she's 152 cm tall)... It was a bit disappointing, but there were very friendly sea turtles swimming around the boat, and the lunch was delicious. The waves were a bit high this time, so it looked tough to swim back, so I didn't go snorkeling and instead swam with the sea turtles around the boat.
何回か午後のツアーに参加してますが、以前のほうが水位は低かったような・・・。今回はサンドバーにたどり着くまで歩いてる際、母(身長152cm)の胸あたりまで水位が・・・。ちょっと残念でしたが、ボートの周りにとてもフレンドリーなウミガメ泳いでいたし、ランチもおいしかったです。
今回波が高めで泳いで帰ってくるのがつらそうだったので私はシュノーケリングには行かず、ボートの周りでウミガメと泳いでました。

We had Kevin and Jared lead our snuba diving experience. They were extremely friendly and knew everyone in our group on a first name basis. My wife and I were a little nervous before arriving because we had never done anything like this before. The experience was amazing! It was easy to breathe under water and Kevin and Jared provided all kinds of tips for getting water out of your goggles, breathing, communicating, swimming, ear pressure relief and more. I would go back in a heartbeat. The tour is also led by a guide (Kevin). He points out creatures and picks them up (if possible/safe) along the way. He also swam slow to allow you to explore and not get exhausted. The guides are constantly checking on you throughout the entire trip. FIVE STARS!

The sandbar was not the completely sandy beach I imagined, but rather a beautiful shallow area that reaches about the knees of an adult. Even children could stand easily, and since there were no waves, they were able to practice swimming and seemed to be having a lot of fun. Tours that include lunch on the boat often don't offer great meals, but this tour provided freshly grilled hamburgers. There are also paid options for wine and beer, making it a tour that both adults and children can enjoy. I would love to repeat this experience next time.
サンドバーは想像とは違って完全な砂浜ではなく大人の膝下くらいの美しい浅瀬が広がる場所でした。子供でも足がつくうえに波がないので泳ぎの練習ができとても楽しそうにしていました。船上での昼食付きのツアーは大した食事がでない事が多いですがこちらのツアーでは焼きたてのハンバーガーが食べられます。有料ですがワインやビールもあり大人も子供も楽しめるツアーだと思います。また次回リピートしたいです。

We took a boat to a wonderful sandbar!
It was cloudy, so the photos didn't turn out great, but in reality, the water was clear and beautiful!
The Japanese guide really got everyone excited, took lots of photos, and it became a great memory!
The snorkeling was amazing with beautiful fish swimming around and the coral was stunning!

This is my youngest son's first trip to Hawaii. He asked to go snorkling. So I thought it would be even more fun to snorkle with turtles. And so we did. We had such an amazing experience, staffs were very nice and helpful. It was fun to see many turtles and fishes. We had so much fun. And at the end of our Hawaii trip, I asked my son, which one was the most memorable one of all the places we went to in Hawaii, and he said snorkling with turtles!!!

I was nervous about snorkeling after a long time, but the lecture in the shallow water made me feel at ease. I had a great experience with a sea turtle swimming right in front of me. The sandbar itself didn't have as low tide as I expected, and it wasn't quite like the pictures, but the weather was nice, and the waves were calm, making it comfortable.

This was my second time participating, and I was once again very satisfied! I was able to swim with many dolphins. I'm usually scared to swim in the ocean where I can't touch the bottom, but in this activity, I had zero fear. For those who are anxious about swimming, they provide not only life jackets but also floatation devices, which is reassuring. It seems that swimming with spinner dolphins is something you can only do in Hawaii, so I highly recommend it. Our guide, Juli, was also fun and lively! I definitely want to participate again when I go to Hawaii!
二度目の参加でしたが、今回も大満足でした!
たくさんのイルカと一緒に泳げました。
私は足が届かない海では怖くて泳げないのですが、このアクティビティでは恐怖心ゼロでした。泳ぎに不安がある人には、ライフジャケットの他に浮き棒も貸してくれるので安心です。ハシナガイルカと泳げるのは世界中でハワイだけらしいので、本当におススメです。

We participated as a couple. The weather was clear on the day, and the views at each sightseeing spot were wonderful. Although there were few fish while snorkeling, a sea turtle appeared right in front of us! It was an emotional moment and became a lovely memory.
What was a bit disappointing was the guide. She was very high-energy, which surprised me (she might have been trying to entertain us, but...). She kept talking continuously, sharing various stories related to Hawaii, which was educational, but she also talked a lot about herself (like where she lived in the past—several countries—and her dislikes), and I found myself thinking, "I don't really care about you..." by the end. There was also a Japanese woman who seemed to live in Honolulu participating, and when she spoke with her, it felt like they were friends. For example, they talked at length about a menu item that is only available at Kentucky Fried Chicken in the U.S., saying, "I want to eat this when I die!" which felt a bit condescending to us who live in Japan and wouldn't know about that.
This woman seemed to be friends with the guide but didn't particularly contribute to the tour, making her role unclear. The guide mentioned several times, "If I'm told to swim, I'll swim anywhere, but I absolutely don't want to climb mountains!" However, there might have been participants who wanted to climb Diamond Head, and I thought she lacked a bit of sensitivity. At the end, she handed out business cards and explained, "Compliments go to VERTRA! Complaints to my email!" which felt a bit too much.
夫婦で参加しました。
当日は快晴で各観光スポットでの景色も素晴らしかったです。シュノーケリングでは魚は少なかったものの、ウミガメが目の前に現れました!感激し、素敵な思い出になりました。
少し残念だったのはガイドさんです。とてもテンションが高いかたで、ちょっと驚きました(楽しませてくれようとしていたのかもしれませんが、・・・)。彼女はずっとしゃべり続けで、いろいろなハワイに関わる話もしてくださり勉強になりましたが、ご自身の話(昔どこどこに済んでいたときに(数カ国ありました)・・とか、わたしはこれはきらい!等)も多く、「別にあなたのことは・・」と後半げんなりしました。また1名、ホノルル在住?の日本人女性が参加していたのですが、彼女と話すときは友人のような感じで、たとえば米ケンタッキーフライドチキンにしかないメニューについて長々と話し「死ぬときはこのメニューを食べる!」など、日本在住の私たちには知りようもない事で少し嫌みを感じました。
この1名参加の女性はガイドと友人みたいですが特にツアーに協力するでもなく立ち位置が不明でした。
ガイドさんは「私は泳げといわれれば何処までも泳ぐけど、山は絶対登りたくない!」と数回仰っていましたが、参加者の中にはダイアモンドヘッドに登るかたもいたかもしれませんし、少しデリカシーに欠けていると思いました。
最後には名刺を配られ、「お褒めコメントはVERTRAへ!クレームは私のメールへ!」と説明しており、あざとさも感じました。
I apologize for making you feel uncomfortable during the tour. This is my first negative review, so it is helpful for me. Receiving feedback like this gives me a good opportunity to reflect on myself, so I appreciate it.
I explained, "Compliments go to VERTRA! Complaints come to my email!" and I felt it was a bit over the top. It was a joke that everyone seemed to enjoy, but I learned that some people might feel differently, so thank you for that.
I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed West Oahu!

In the past, I watched a program where the hosts discovered and introduced the wonders of a certain world while answering quizzes. I saw footage of former synchronized swimmer Mikako Kotani swimming freely with dolphins, and I dreamed of swimming with dolphins like that. It was truly a happy time when that dream came true!
I was told not to touch them, but the dolphins came so close that it felt like they were about to bump into me. They swam alongside me, followed behind in a group, and suddenly one appeared right beneath me. I had so much fun playing with the dolphins! (*^^*)
The dolphins on the Big Island of Hawaii are said to be friendlier than those on other islands and will come close to you. So, if you're going to do a dolphin swim, I highly recommend the Big Island!
Also, I was lucky enough to see a manta ray! That seemed to be a stroke of luck. The tour guides were also dedicated to helping us find dolphins and ensuring we had a great time.
You can borrow a wetsuit, which is enough to keep you afloat, but if you're feeling anxious, you can also borrow a floating pole (a cylindrical float), so even if you're not a strong swimmer, you'll be fine. There was even a little boy, about three years old, who was entering the water with the guide's support. (Little ones must wear life jackets.)
When I posted about it on Facebook, someone immediately expressed interest in going, so I recommended this tour. When we come back to the Big Island, we will definitely participate in this tour again! Thank you so much! (*^^*)
昔、某世界のふしぎを発見・紹介しながら出演者がクイズに答える番組で、元シンクロ選手の小谷実可子さんがイルカと自由に泳いでる映像を観て、イルカと泳ぐことに憧れていました。
あんな風にイルカと泳げたらいいな、と思っていた状況が実現して、本当に幸せな時間でした!
触っちゃいけないと言われてましたが、イルカの方からぶつかりそうなくらい近くまで寄ってきて、横に並んで泳いだり、群れの後ろについて泳いだり、突然イルカが私の下から現れたりして、イルカに遊んでもらえて本当に楽しかったです(*^^*)
ハワイ島のイルカは他の島より人懐っこく、近くまで来てくれるそうです。なので、ドルフィンスイムをするなら、ハワイ島が一番オススメ!!
あと、ラッキーなことにマンタも観れました!それは運が良かったみたいです。
ツアーガイドの皆さんもイルカを探したり、先回りしたり、楽しめるように尽力してくださってました。
ウェットスーツを借りるので、それだけでも十分浮けますが、不安な人はフローティングポール(筒状の浮き具)を借りられるので泳ぎが得意でなくても大丈夫です。3歳くらいの男の子も、ガイドさんに支えてもらいながら海に入ってました。(ちっちゃい子はライフジャケット着用)
Facebookにあげたら、早速行きたい!という人がいたので、ここのツアーをオススメしました。
私達もまたハワイ島に来る時は、このツアーに参加します!
ありがとうございました!(*^^*)

Since I joined the morning session, there was a light meal included, but it was a buffet-style, so the amount was more than just a light snack! The bone-in short ribs were incredibly delicious! Also, turtles came to swim in the shallow waters, and I was able to see them up close. I want to participate again!

The honu came right up to me and was so cute! The staff were fluent in Japanese and had a great vibe, which made it a lot of fun!
ホヌが目の前まで寄ってきてとても可愛いかったです!
スタッフの方も日本語ペラペラでノリもよく楽しかったです!
Aloha! I'm glad you enjoyed the Mokomama tour. We look forward to your return to the heavenly sea.
アロハ!モコママ様ツアー楽しんでいただけて良かったです。天国の海に里帰りお待ちしております。

I applied with my wife. I had some concerns, but once we were picked up by our guide, Chieko, those worries disappeared. She was that considerate. We were able to see not only turtles but also rare rays right below us, and I believe it was the unique experience provided by Chieko and her team that made it so special.
妻と二人て申し込みました。
多少不安はありましたが、ガイドのチエコさんにピックアップされてからはその心配も吹き飛びました。
それくらい気遣いをされるかたでしたでしたので。
亀はもちろん、珍しいエイも真下に見れて、チエコさんらならではの経験がそうさせてるのだと思います。
Dear Tomoyuki, thank you for joining the Blue Hawaii Divers tour. The sea conditions were good that day, and we ventured out from the Keyhole. We saw a school of giant trevally swimming in circles on the heart-shaped sandy bottom, and later encountered turtles at two spots. Lucky for us, we also spotted two manta rays! While I've often seen manta rays during boat diving, this was my first time seeing them while snorkeling at Hanauma Bay. You were truly a fortunate customer.
Please do consider joining our tour again when you visit Hawaii. We are always here to welcome you back. Thank you very much. Mahalo!!
ともゆき様、この度はブルーハワイダイバースのツアーにお越しいただき、ありがとうございます。この日は海の状態も良く、キーホールから沖へ出てみました。ハート型の砂地でギンガメアジの群れ(グルグル回って泳いでました)を見て、その後は2カ所で亀に遭遇し、ラッキーなことにマダラトビエイが2匹泳いでいるのに出会えました!!ボートダイビングでしたらマダラトビエイはよく見てましたが,ハナウマ湾でシュノーケリングで見れたのは私も初めてでしたよ。本当に幸運なお客様でした。
是非またハワイにお越しの際には私達のツアーに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!!

Excellent experience and well worth the money. The crew was friendly and helpful. I would not recommend this experience for “timid” children but, if your kid is into new things and not afraid of the ocean, this is an experience they will remember forever! It was amazing to see how well all the boat crews worked together to ensure everyone enjoyed a fantastic show

I love the ocean, and I have had experiences swimming with turtles and dolphins while snorkeling in various places. Unfortunately, I can't dive because of my hearing issues. However, manta rays don't usually come close to the surface. I had given up on seeing them up close, but on this tour, they kept coming one after another! ♡
We surrounded the light with our snorkeling gear and observed them. It felt more like the manta rays were coming to eat the plankton gathered around the light rather than swimming alongside us. Still, they came so close that I had to dodge them! I could see right into their bellies.
There were probably 6 to 7 manta rays that kept circling around endlessly. I might have been lucky, but I really enjoyed it! You should definitely bring a GoPro. Also, I wasn't cold at all on the boat. However, since many Japanese people are sensitive to the cold, it might be a good idea to bring a towel or a sweatshirt just in case.
私は海が大好きで、いろいろなところでシュノーケリングをすることで亀やイルカと泳いだ経験はありました。耳が悪いので、ダイビングをすることができません。でも、マンタはなかなか水面までは来てくれません。なので、マンタをまじかで見ることは諦めていましたが、このツアーだと、次から次へと遊びに来てくれます♡
ライトの近くを囲んでシュノーケリルをつけて観察する感じで、一緒に泳ぐというよりは、マンタがライトに集まって来たプランクトンを食べに来てくれるという感じでした。それでも、マンタが自分でぶつかってくるほど近くに来てくれたので、こちらが避けないとならないほどでした。
マンタのお腹の中までよく見えます。
多分6-7枚のマンタがエンドレスで順繰り廻って来てくれる感じでした。運が良かったのかもしれないですが本当に楽しめました!
Go proは絶対持って行くべきです。
あと、船の上では私は全く寒くなかったです。
ただ、日本人は寒がりな人が多いので、タオルを呼びで1枚持って行く、もしくはトレーナーなどを持って行ってもいいのかもしれません。
ご親切なレビューありがとうございます。マンタを見るためのシュノーケリング旅行を楽しんでいただけて嬉しいです。
Thank you for your kind review. We are happy you enjoyed your snorkel trip to see the mantas.

This time I participated alone.
This tour is not really meant for solo travelers. It's best suited for friends, families, or couples on their honeymoon.
However, you can only reach this place through a tour like this, so if you have the mindset of wanting to:
- Take Instagram-worthy photos,
- Not care at all about what others think even if you're alone,
- Not feel uncomfortable when asked, "Are you participating alone?"
Then I think this tour is great for you.
I personally wanted to capture the quintessential Hawaiian scenery. I joined just with that mindset, but various thoughts crossed my mind along the way. I recommend that those participating alone focus solely on enjoying the scenery!
To join a tour like this, you need to have the right mindset.
今回一人参加でした。
このツアーは一人で参加するようなツアーではないです。
友人同士、家族、新婚旅行などのカップル。
そういう方には最高のツアーだと思います。
ただ、この場所に来るにはこういうツアーでなければ行けないので
・とにかくインスタ映えするような景色を撮りたい
・自分は一人でも他人の目なんて一ミリたりとも気にしない
・やたら「一人参加?」と聞かれても嫌な思いをしない
そういう精神的な気持ちがある人ならば、このツアーはいいと思います。
自分はとにかくハワイらしい景色を撮りたい。
そういう気持ちだけで参加したのですが、途中でいろんなものが去来してしまいました。
一人で参加する人は、景色を楽しむ!という事だけを専念することをお勧めします。
こういうツアーに参加するには、それなりの気持ちが必要です。

I truly experienced the spiritual awe of the ocean on the Big Island. On the way to the encounter spot, I also came across dolphins and whales. I think this is something you absolutely must experience when you visit the Big Island.
まさに、ハワイ島のスピリチュアルな海の畏怖の念を体験しました。遭遇スポットに行く途中、イルカやクジラにも遭遇しました。ハワイ島に行ったら、絶対体験すべきだと思います。
Aloha Hamachan,
Thank you for participating in the Manta University Night Program.
We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed the extraordinary experience on the manta tour in Hawaii Island. We look forward to the day we can meet you again, should the opportunity arise, and the entire staff and crew are excitedly waiting for that moment!
Mahalo,

The staff at Captain Cruise were all very fun, and they willingly took photos for us. The beautiful sandbar, turtle watching from the boat, and snorkeling were all so enjoyable! I did get sunburned, though! (laughs) I'm not a strong swimmer and was anxious about snorkeling, but they let me practice at the sandbar, and since I was wearing a life jacket, I was able to enjoy it with peace of mind! Thank you very much!
キャプテンクルーズのスタッフの皆さんもとっても楽しい方達で、写真も進んで撮ってくださったり、綺麗なサンドバー も船からのウミガメウォッチングもシュノーケリングも楽しすぎました!ただ焼けましたね!(笑)私は泳ぐのが苦手でシュノーケリングは不安でしたがサンドバー で練習させてくださり、ライフジャケットも付けてたので安心して楽しめました!ありがとうございました!

Aloha! It's a shame that the ocean conditions weren't perfect this time. It's a natural phenomenon, so it's quite difficult. Please do come back with your mother for a rematch and enjoy the heavenly sea!
アロハ!今回は海のコンディションがパーフェクトでなくて残念。自然現象なのでなかなか難しいですね。
ぜひ!またお母様とリベンジで天国の海に遊びにいらしてくださいね。
