It was a surprisingly chilly morning for Hawaii. Initially, we signed up without needing wetsuits, but the day before, our guide contacted us and advised that it would be quite cold in the morning, so it would be better to wear wetsuits. My husband and I, both over sixty, along with our daughter, participated in the tour. From the pick-up to entering the bay and snorkeling, our guide was with us the entire time. While our daughter is experienced, it was our first time, and I personally had some physical limitations, which made me anxious at first. However, thanks to the guide's help and instruction, I was able to get used to breathing and managed to complete an hour of snorkeling. It was truly a valuable experience. I highly recommend this tour to those who have never tried it before, so don't hesitate to join as a beginner!
ハワイにしては冷え込む朝で当初ウェットスーツ不要で申し込みしたが前日にガイドさんから連絡いただき、当日朝相当寒くなるのでウェットスーツ着用した方が良いとアドバイスもらい私ら還暦過ぎの夫婦と娘1人ので3人で参加しました、送迎から入湾、シュノーケルまでガイドさんが付きっきりで対応してくれました,娘は経験者ですが私ら夫婦は初体験だった更に私は身体的ハンディがあり初めは不安で一般でしたがガイドさんのヘルプと指導により呼吸には慣れが必要ですが何とか1時間やり切ることが出来ました。本当に貴重な体験をすることができました。未体験の方は初心者だと臆せずに
このツアーに参加されることをお勧めします。
ウェットスーツは寒さ怪我対策だけで無く,水中の浮力の助けになるので着用が良いでしょう。
Thank you for participating in the tour. It's winter in Hawaii now, so the water temperature is at its coldest during this season. Wearing a wetsuit is very effective for warmth, and especially for those who are new to snorkeling, it helps with ease of swimming and buoyancy. You all did a great job with your breathing, so next time you might be able to swim smoothly on your own without holding my hand. The first time snorkeling can feel the most challenging, but with each attempt, you will become more accustomed and skilled. I look forward to seeing everyone again on the tour when you come back to Hawaii. I was really happy that you all persevered until the end. Thank you very much. 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した。ハワイも今が冬ですので、水温は一年の内で一番冷たいシーズンです。保温のためにも、また特にシュノーケリングが初めての方には泳ぎ易さや浮力の確保のためにもウェットスーツはとても有効なんですよ。呼吸は皆様とてもお上手でしたから、次回は私と手を繋がなくてもご自身お一人でスイスイ泳げるかもしれませんね。シュノーケリングは1回目が一番難しく感じますが、回を重ねる毎に慣れて上手になっていきます。またハワイにお越しの際にはツアーで皆様にお会いできるのをお待ちしております。最後まで頑張っていただけて、私も嬉しかったです。本当にありがとうございました。Mahalo!

This was my third time participating, and depending on the timing and the people going, the condition of the sandbar varied, which made it enjoyable. I was able to see a lot of sea turtles 🐢. During our free time, I had fun doing stand-up paddleboarding (SUP). The snacks, spam musubi, and drinks on the boat were plentiful. It was a tour that went by in the blink of an eye. The female staff were all lively and wonderful.

I’ve been on various snorkeling tour options before, but this one was quite disappointing for the price. There was no thorough explanation, just “do as you like.” The cold weather was unavoidable, but everyone felt cold on the boat. In the end, they managed to serve us tea, but it was too late; many were already shivering. I wish they would consider the situation a bit more at those moments.
今まで色々のシュノーケルのオプションツアー行ったけど結構値段の割には残念

Thank you for participating in the tour and for your valuable feedback.
We sincerely apologize for the cold conditions on the boat due to the weather, as well as the delay in providing tea. We take your comment about wanting us to be more considerate in the moment to heart, and we will work on improving the speed of our situational judgment and attention to detail.

The arrival bus came on time, and there were Japanese staff who provided a thorough explanation upon arrival. After that, the communication was in English, and while there were some things I didn't understand, I never felt completely lost or troubled. It was great that we could watch a video explanation on the bus, which minimized any downtime after arriving.
On the day of the trip, it was colder than I expected, so I couldn't snorkel for a long time. However, I was very grateful that they were flexible and accommodated a sudden change in the return bus schedule when I negotiated it on the spot.
I brought my own snorkeling set, but for those who don't have one, rentals are available on-site. The bus was easily recognizable with the company's logo, which was also a nice touch!
到着のバスも時間内に来てくれて、到着時には日本人がいて丁寧に説明してくれました。
その他は英語対応となり、分からないこともありましたが分からなくてどうしようもなく困ることはありませんでした。
バス内で説明のVTRも見れて到着してからのロスタイムもなくよかったです。
当日は思ったより寒く、長い時間シュノーケリング出来なかったのですが、急な帰りのバスの時間変更にもその場で交渉したら応じてくれて柔軟に対応してもらえて大変ありがたかったです。
シュノーケルのセットは持参しました。持っていない方は現地でもレンタルがあるので借りることは可能です。

What a wonderful experience to get close to dolphins! My daughter (11) loved it so much. She got to swim with the dolphins and work with the trainer to give commands to the dolphins. It was so exciting to see all the amazing knowledge these beautiful creatures have. The trainers provide so much information as to the care and conservation of dolphins.

We had some free time during our company trip, so we participated as a pair. First, we were greeted by a sea turtle at the port, which was quite refreshing since I had no image of sea turtles being at ports in Japan!
When we set out on the boat to search for dolphins, we all sang a prayer to respectfully enter their natural habitat and threw plumeria flowers into the sea. After the prayer, as we moved the boat forward, we were surprised to see a whale spouting water and showing its fin—it's amazing how easily we could spot such creatures!
While we were searching for dolphins, Ryuichi-san explained the mountain range on the west coast, and the sight of the mountains at sunrise was very impressive. Towards the end of our trip, many dolphins appeared, and we were able to take photos right next to the boat!
Unfortunately, the type of dolphin we encountered couldn't swim alongside us, and the waves were a bit high that day, so we couldn't dive at the snorkeling spot with fish and coral reefs. I really hope to swim with them next time!!! 🐬
Thanks to Shanti, Koa, and Ryuichi-san, we made the best memories. Thank you so much!!
社員旅行で自由時間が出来たので2人で参加させていただきました。
まず、港にウミガメがお出迎えしてくれ、日本ではウミガメが港にいるイメージが全くなかったのでなんだか新鮮でした!

まずは自然界にお邪魔しますのお祈りをみんなで歌い、プルメリアを海へ投げました。
そしてお祈り後にボートを進めていくと、鯨が潮を吹いたり、おびれを見せてくれて、そんなすぐに見つかる生き物なのかとびっくりしちゃいました!
イルカを探す間、りゅういちさんは西海岸にある山脈の説明をしてくれて、朝焼けの山脈がとても綺麗だったことが印象的です。
イルカは終盤の方に沢山出てきてくれ、

When searching for dolphins, we always go out on a boat, so I recommend wearing a wetsuit (available for rent) or a rash guard in January!

Thank you also for your comments about our Japanese guide, Ryuichi, as well as Shanti and Koa. I'm glad to hear that you have an interest in Hawaiian culture and the mountains of the West Coast.

I had the best beach experience in Hawaii! Since it was my first tour in Hawaii, I was a bit nervous, but there were Japanese-speaking guides, which made boarding the bus and entering Hanauma Bay go smoothly!

I participated with my 69-year-old mother at the end of December. I was anxious because I couldn't speak English and it was my first experience with snorkeling, but thanks to the excellent support, I was able to participate in the activities with peace of mind.
First, they were able to handle reservation confirmations and inquiries in Japanese over the phone. On the day of the trip, the boarding staff only provided English guidance, but since I had requested a hotel pickup, a Japanese-speaking staff member came to greet us. This person helped us prepare for boarding, provided us with important information after we boarded, and supported us after we disembarked.
Even though it was the end of December in Hawaii, I was worried about the cold sea, but following the staff's recommendation to rent a wetsuit made it comfortable, and I didn't feel cold at all. During the activity, there were enough staff members to watch over and support the participants.
Thanks to this, I had a wonderful experience seeing many manta rays and a beautiful sunset. Even if we hadn't encountered any manta rays, just snorkeling in the waters of Hawaii would have been a fantastic experience. I highly recommend it!
12月末に69歳の母と参加しました。
英語も話せずシュノーケリングも初体験のため不安でしたが、手厚いサポートのおかげで安心してアクティビティに参加することができました。

また、乗船スタッフは英語ガイドのみの日でしたが、ホテルへの送迎を頼んでいたところ日本語スタッフの方が迎えに来てくださいました。

ハワイとはいえ12月末の海ということで寒さが不安でしたが、スタッフの方のお勧めに従いウェットスーツを借りたところ、寒さを感じることはなく快適に過ごせました。
アクティビティ中も、参加者に対して十分な人数のスタッフが見守ってサポートしてくれます。
おかげさまでたくさんのマンタと綺麗な夕日を見るという素晴らしい体験ができましたが、もしマンタと遭遇できなかったとしても、ハワイの海でシュノーケリングするというだけでも十分に素敵な経験だったと思います。

I think it can be summed up in one word: amazing. This time, I experienced multiple activities on the Big Island, Maui, and Oahu, but without a doubt, the most fun was this tour.
- I chose a plan that allowed me to experience both snorkeling and snuba. There were about 20 participants on the boat, and around 80% of them opted for this plan. The water clarity around Molokini Island was fantastic, and it would be a shame to just stick to snorkeling.
- I believe anyone can do snuba as long as they listen carefully to the pre-activity instructions.
- We were able to see whales a few times while on the boat heading to Molokini Island.
- The guide was wonderful, and their attentiveness and ability to energize the group were top-notch. Many of the other crew members were also a lot of fun.
- Since the guide was in English, it might be challenging for those who aren't proficient in English.
- The rental for a wetsuit is $10. Additionally, snorkeling and snuba at Turtle Town require an extra $50 payment. Both payments were made in cash after getting off the boat (definitely worth it).

・モロキニ島に向かう船上でクジラも数回見ることができました
・ガイドさんがまた素晴らしく、気の配り方や盛り上げ方も最高でした。他のクルーも楽しい方が多かったです

It was comfortable and quick, much better than spending half a day.
I was told by the older gentleman at the counter that there are no fish on the central beach, various fish on the right side of the reef, and large fish on the left side. He was absolutely right! I didn't want to spend money, so I went without fins or goggles, but I had a fantastic time. The water is shallow, so it worked out fine. Next time I go, I will bring fins and goggles from Japan.

We participated in a tour that included a shuttle service to Hanauma Bay and a snorkeling set, with three people including a 12-year-old child. The pickup time was early in the morning. It was still dark outside, and I was worried about being out so early, but shortly after arriving, dawn broke. We were able to see a wonderful sunrise, which was the perfect start to the day.
Snorkeling was first thing in the morning, and there were plenty of fish. Although there were times during the day when it was cloudy, it didn't matter, and we still had a great time seeing lots of fish.
On this day, there were no other Japanese participants in the tour besides us. However, that wasn't an issue at all.
Additionally, we could borrow life jackets on the spot by asking the tour staff. Please note that these are cash only.
We considered renting a car to get there, but I think it was better to avoid the hassle of reservations and enjoy the convenience.
I would definitely like to participate in this tour again.

Although it was just a shuttle service, I really appreciated the effort to help us get in early to Hanauma Bay, which requires a specified entry time.
送迎だけですが、入場時間の指定が必要なハナウマベイへ早く入れるためにがんばってもらえて、とても助かりました。

On this day, the water level was deep, and when I got off the boat, the water was up to my chest. I was a bit disappointed because I had imagined a white sandy beach. However, I switched gears and decided to try banana boating for the first time in my 60s! I screamed with excitement after a long time, and it was so much fun. They also took me to a spot where there were turtles. Next time, I want to go when the sandy beach is visible.
この日の水位は深く、船から降りると胸まで水がありました。
白い砂浜を想像していたので、ちょっとガッカリでした。
気持ちを切り替えて、60代で初のバナナボートに挑戦!
久しぶりにキャーキャー叫んで、とても楽しかったです。
亀のいるポイントにも連れて行ってくれました。
次は砂浜の出る時に行きたいです。
If you can adjust your schedule, it might be a good idea to look into the tides and give it a try.
日程が調整できる方は、潮の事も調べて行ってみるといいかもですね。
Aloha Hyota,

I almost drowned a little and got a cut, but the response from our guide, Izumi, was great. Thank you very much.

I used the first flight on the morning of December 30th for the New Year's holiday. The captain spoke in English, but then a female staff member named Izumi kindly explained everything in Japanese, which made my first snorkeling experience worry-free.
The weather was a bit cold, and it rained partway through, but not only were we able to see many sea turtles, we also got to swim with them.
There were other tours with various options that I considered, but I'm glad I chose Captain Cruise!
年末年始(12月30日)の朝一便を利用しました。
キャプテンは英語を使用されますがその後で女性スタッフのイズミさんが日本語で丁寧に説明してくださり、初めてのシュノーケリングも不安なく体験できました。
天候は少し寒く、雨も途中降ったりしましたが、ウミガメを沢山見ることができただけでなく、一緒に泳ぐことも出来ました。
色んなオプションが付く他社ツアーもあり、悩みましたが、キャプテンクルーズを選んでよかったです!
If you go in winter, depending on the weather, it can get cold on the return boat, so I recommend bringing a long-sleeve T-shirt or a lightweight UNIQLO Airism parka in addition to your rash guard. Al
冬に行く場合は天候によっては帰りの船で寒くなるので、ラッシュガード以外に長袖Tシャツや、薄手のUNIQLOエアリズムパーカーを持参することをお勧めします。
また、タオルは必須です!
Thank you very much for participating in the Captain Bruce's Paradise of the Sea tour last year. I am very happy to hear that you encountered many sea turtles, which are said to bring happiness. I look forward to the day we can meet again. A hui hou! 🌺

Wonderful experience swimming with the turtles. But I was struggling with light headedness and nausea. The lifeguard and crew were so caring and sensitive. They encouraged me to stay out in the water as long as I felt confident but then took me back to the boat via the surf board when it was too much. I was given a ginger ale to sip on and the team frequently checked on me. Always encouraging and supportive. I never felt shamed or ridiculed. Thank you

We went with six participants and two staff members on a small boat. The staff provided great care, and the round trip to the snorkeling point was an enjoyable experience. At the manta ray spot, they moved us to a good viewing location, which increased our chances of sightings.
6人の参加者に2人のスタッフで小型船で行きました。スタッフのケアもよく、シュノーケリングのポイントまでの行き帰りも楽しい時間となりました。マンタスポットでは、見やすい場所まで移動してくれるので、発見の回数が増えます。
We participated in a tour with only English-speaking staff due to scheduling conflicts, but there are also days when Japanese-speaking staff are on board.
私達は日程の関係で英語スタッフのみのツアーに参加しましたが、日本語スタッフ乗船の日もあります。

Wetsuits are not only good for protection against cold and injuries, but they also help with buoyancy in the water, so it's advisable to wear them.
