ドルフィン・クエスト イルカと触れ合えるプログラムが充実!キッズ向けプログラム<ヒルトン・ワイコロア・ビレッジ内>

You can safely and easily interact with dolphins! 安全にお気軽にイルカと触れ合えるんです!

Reviewed by: ボゴです!

I wanted to swim with dolphins and was looking into various tours, but I hesitated because I was scared of floating in deep water with just a life jacket and snorkel. That's when I found this tour! With this option, I could keep my feet on the ground the whole time, which made me feel safe, and I could definitely interact with the dolphins, so I decided right away! They also took a lot of photos, and although there was an extra charge, I think it was great to have those moments of interacting with the dolphins captured in pictures.

イルカと泳ぎたくて、他のツアーをいろいろ調べて検討してたんですが、足の届かない深い海にライフジャケットとシュノーケルで浮かんでることが怖くて躊躇してました。
そんな時に見つけたのがこのツアーです!
これならずーっと地面に足をつけたままなので安心だし、確実にイルカと触れ合うことも出来るので、即決しました!!
写真もたくさん撮ってもらえるし、(別料金ですが)イルカと触れ合ってる瞬間がしっかり写真に残せて、とても良かったと思います。

Dear Icchan, thank you for joining the Blue Hawaii Divers tour. I'm very happy to hear that you enjoyed it. On that day, we swam from the left end to the right end inside, and then went out to search for turtles. It was great that you were able to encounter a turtle while swimming in the ocean. Both of you did very well. I hope you will consider repeating the experience with either a diving or snorkeling tour when you come back to Hawaii. We are always here waiting for you.

Thank you very much. Mahalo!!

いっちゃん様、この度はブルーハワイダイバースのツアーにお越し頂き、ありがとうございます。楽しんでいただけたようでとても嬉しく思います。この日は左端から右端までインサイドを泳ぎ、その後、アウトに出てカメを探した日でしたね。沖で泳いでいるカメさんと遭遇できて良かったですね。お二人ともとてもお上手でした。是非またハワイにお越しの時には体験ダイビングでもシュノーケリングツアーでもリピートしていただけたらと思っています。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!!

野生のマンタ シュノーケリングツアー <英語ガイド/軽食付き>

I couldn't meet the manta, and I couldn't try again (within 7 days). マンタに会えず、再挑戦(7日以内)も出来ず

Reviewed by: Kaborin

After reading experiences about the smartphone tour and knowing it was a boat departing from Keauhou Bay, I thought it would be perfect for me since I easily get seasick and feel cold, so I made a reservation. However, on February 16, the day I made the reservation, I received an email via VELTRA at 9 AM notifying me that the tour was canceled due to bad weather. The message stated that I would receive a full refund, and there was a link below for rescheduling the reservation.

I quickly made a reservation for the following day, February 17, and soon received a confirmation reply through VELTRA. However, the next day, there were zero manta rays. When disembarking, I was told, "The office opens at 8 AM tomorrow, so please call." But the next day, I had a tour with Kona Brewing where I would be drinking, so I couldn't drive afterward, and I had to return home the following day.

In a bind, I sent a question email to the VELTRA representative who had sent me the cancellation email, but I received no reply. I had seen too many experiences on VELTRA and mistakenly thought that if I didn't see manta rays, I could try again anytime, similar to other tours. However, for this tour, the information about being able to retry within seven days if I didn't see manta rays only appeared if I opened the "View Details" section on my smartphone.

(There was also information in the Q&A about what to do if I didn't see manta rays, but I noticed it too late...) The guide might have explained the details about retrying when disembarking, but I couldn't understand because I'm not fluent in English. It's my own mistake, and there's nothing I can do about it, but I'm really disappointed that I didn't see any manta rays. Next time, I plan to choose a tour where I can retry anytime if I don't see manta rays.

スマホの体験談を読み、ケアウホウ湾から出る船とのことで、船酔いしやすく又寒がりの私にはこれだ!と思い、予約しましたが…。
予約をした2月16日は、VELTRA経由で朝9時にメールで天候不順で中止との連絡が。
金額は全額返金との文面、更にその下には日程を変更して予約する場合のリンクが貼られていました。
すぐに翌17日の予約を入れ、程なく予約確定の返事もVELTA経由で頂いたのですが…。
翌日決行するも、マンタはゼロ。
下船時『明日8時から事務所が開くので、電話してください』というような話をされましたが、翌日はコナブリューイングのツアーでお酒を飲むため、その後の運転はNG、そして次の日にはもう帰国せねばならず。
困り果て、中止メールを頂いたVERTRAの担当者さんに質問メールを入れましたが、返事はなく…。
VELTRAさんでツアーの体験談をいろいろ見すぎてしまったことで、マンタが見られなかった場合は、またいつでも挑戦可能という他のツアーの体験談と勘違いしてしまい、このツアーも再挑戦はいつでもOKなのだと思い込んでしまっていました。
このツアーは、スマホだと〔詳細を見る〕というところを開けないとマンタが見れなかった場合7日以内に再挑戦可能という文面が現れません。
(Q&Aにも、マンタに会えなかった場合のことが書いてありましたが、気づくのが遅かった…)
ガイドさんは、下船時に再挑戦に際しての詳しい話もされていたのかもしれませんが、英語が堪能ではないので、理解できず。
自分のミスで、仕方ないことですが、マンタが見られず、本当に残念です。
次回は、マンタに会えなかった場合は再挑戦がいつでもOKなところを選ぼうと思います。

2.5-Hour Waikiki Guided Turtle Snorkel Tour, Snacks & Drinks - Holokai Catamaran

Great Experience!

Reviewed by: Becky

Guides were GREAT, we saw MULTIPLE turtles (one even swam right up by us) and we also saw dolphins. We got to do a little bit of sailing at the end while drying off, having a beverage and eating the provided snacks. It was exactly what we wanted to do and I loved that it did not take up the entire day so we still had plenty of time to get get lunch and spend the rest of the day on the beach :)

カイルアビーチ送迎シャトルサービス 嬉しい5時間滞在!ビーチグッズなど各種レンタル付き<日本語スタッフ/ランチ付>

Don't expect too much from the snorkeling! シュノーケルは期待しないで!

Reviewed by: しゃーしゃん

Our initial plan was to do some snorkeling, but at Kailua Beach, the wind was strong, the waves were rough, and the water was murky with sand, so we gave up on snorkeling. Plus, it was very cold! We changed our plans and rented bicycles for $10, allowing us to head into town and enjoy the local atmosphere, which was different from Waikiki, while cycling. We rode our bikes all the way to Lanikai Beach and were amazed by the beautiful scenery. The famous Bob's Pizza was incredibly delicious.

Since you can organize your free time as you wish, I think those who want to spend their time freely will really enjoy it. We had a great time.

There are also a few Japanese staff members, which is reassuring. They provide lockers with passcodes, so you can store your valuables. We received kind assistance from a staff member named Emiko. Thank you!

当初の目的はシュノーケルのアクティビティでしたが、カイルアビーチでは
風が強く波が荒くて砂でにごってるのでシュノーケルは諦めました。しかも、とても寒い!
予定を変更して10ドルで自転車をレンタルできるので、町に出かけてワイキキとは違うローカルの雰囲気を眺めサイクリングを楽しみました。
そのまま自転車でラニカイビーチまで出かけて素晴らしい景色と出会い
感動。評判のボブのピザはとっても美味しかったです。
フリータイムを自分で組み立てられるので、自由に過ごしたい方は
とても楽しめると思います。私たちはとても楽しかったです。

Kona Manta Ray Snorkel & Night Dive Tour at Keauhou Bay - Sea Paradise

Amazing experience!

Reviewed by: Luca

Snorkelling in the night with manta rays was an awesome experience.
Everything was perfectly organized: Captain and "Mermaids" were professional, nice and helpful.
We did it with our two kids (8 and 11) and they loved it.
Big mantas swam a few cm from us: in many occasions it looked like it was better to keep the breath in order to avoid touching them!!
It was super-fun and safe.
I recommend this activity to everybody!!!!

サンドバー天使の海 シュノーケリング&ウミガメウォッチクルーズ 船上のBBQグリルで焼くハンバーガーランチ付き!<午前/日本語クルー>

It was more fun than I imagined!! 想像してた以上に楽しかった!!

Reviewed by: ちっち

I participated with four adults and my one-and-a-half-year-old nephew. I was hoping for low tide at the sandbar, but it was up to my knees and thighs. Still, the weather was great, and I was amazed at how beautiful it was! My nephew brought a child-sized float and had a blast floating around!

We played and had a BBQ on the boat! The hamburgers were absolutely delicious, and I even finished what my nephew left behind! The meat was freshly grilled, so it was incredibly tasty! My father is quite particular about food, but he keeps saying how good the hamburgers were since we returned home.

It was really delicious! They were considerate of my nephew, making his hamburger early and checking on him to keep him happy. Everyone was so kind to him! After the meal, we went sea turtle watching and snorkeling, which was also a lot of fun!

It started to drizzle a little, but it stopped quickly, and we enjoyed ourselves completely. The crew was fantastic, and it was such a fun tour! I'm really glad we booked this tour! My family is still reminiscing about our memories in Hawaii. Once my nephew is old enough to remember, I plan to book this tour again!

大人4人と1歳半の甥と一緒に参加しました。サンドバーはくるぶしくらいの干潮を願ってましたが、膝上、太ももくらいでした。それでも天気が良くてめっちゃ綺麗でびっくりしました!!甥っ子は、子供用の浮き輪を持参し、ぷかぷか浮かんで楽しんでくれていました!笑
遊んで船の上でBBQ!これまたハンバーガーが絶品で甥っ子の残りも食べてしまいました、、、笑
肉が焼きたてやからめっちゃ美味しかったです!!!!
父も食にはうるさい方なのですが、
BBQで食べたハンバーガーが美味かったと
帰国してからもずっと言ってます。笑
本当に美味しかったです!
甥っ子にも気を遣っていただいて
早めにハンバーガーを作ってくださったり
甥っ子の機嫌とりにきてくださったり
皆さん可愛がってくれはりました!
ご飯の後は、ウミガメウォッチングとシュノーケリングをしました。
これまた楽しかったです!!
この辺りから小雨が降りましたがすぐ止んで全然楽しめました(^○^)

サンドバー キャプテンブルース 天国の海®︎シュノーケリングクルーズ SUPや浮き輪などレンタルアイテムも!<午前・午後/日本語クルー>

It was really cold. とにかく寒かったです

Reviewed by: maru

Unfortunately, the sandbar had water levels around my thighs. Because it was cloudy, the water wasn't the beautiful blue color I had hoped for. Sadly, I also didn't see any sea turtles. This tour relies heavily on nature, so there's a strong element of luck involved. I think first-time visitors to Hawaii might enjoy other activities more. If the weather had been good, I believe it would have been an amazing tour!

サンドバーは残念ながら太ももあたりの水かさでした。
曇りだった為、水も綺麗な水色ではなく残念でした。
ウミガメも残念ながら見れませんでした。
このツアーは自然が相手なので当然運要素が強いです。
ハワイはじめての方は他の事を楽しんだほうが良いと思います。

Aloha! Thank you for participating in the Captain Bruce's Paradise of the Sea Tour the other day. The sandbar is a mysterious space created by various natural conditions coming together. It shows different expressions depending on the day and time. Please come visit us again when you are in Hawaii. We all look forward to that day from the bottom of our hearts.

アロハ!先日はキャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーにご参加頂きましてありがとうございました。

It was great! 良かったです!

Reviewed by: ののの

It was cloudy, not rainy, on the day of the trip. I was happy to see more sea turtles than I expected. I even saw baby sea turtles! I thought the sandbar was a bit disappointing as it was only about waist-deep, making it feel more like an island. However, I was satisfied with the snorkeling and saw a lot of fish. If I could wish for anything, I would have liked to explore the sandbar properly and snorkel a bit longer. It was a little chilly that day, so I appreciate the consideration shown.

当日雨ではなく曇りでした。
海ガメが思っていたよりたくさん見る事ができ嬉しかったです。
子海ガメも見れました!
サンドバーは腰に浸かるくらいで島かな?とは思い少し残念でした。
しかしシュノーケルでたくさんお魚見れて、満足でした。
欲を言うならば、サンドバーをきちんと見たかったのと、もう少しシュノーケルしていたかったです。
当日少し寒かったので気を利かせて頂いた事だとは思うのですが。

2.5-Hour Waikiki Guided Turtle Snorkel Tour, Snacks & Drinks - Holokai Catamaran

Fun time

Reviewed by: George

We had a wonderful time on the trip. The snorkel is the first part of the event. There were numerous fish and handful of large turtles. Then there is a brief sail around the area. On our sail we encountered humpback whales and a massive pod of dolphins.

I realize, to a degree the whole adventure is a crap shoot. Someone that encountered no turtles, whales, or dolphins might rate the trip less highly, but we felt this was well worth our time and highly recommend.

It was a little hard to get to (the hotels are so close together) so remember to get there early! We got there just in time. The boat is beautiful docked on the beach. The crew were so wonderful and friendly. We saw a bunch of turtles! It was amazing when they would surface for air RIGHT NEXT TO US! I wish the water was clearer, but it was still a great experience. Then we got to lounge in the boat and sail over off of Diamond Head. We saw spinner dolphins spinning out of the water. There were about 10 other people on the boat with us, but still cozy. They offer free snacks and you can purchase drinks (water, juice and alcohol) on the boat. We were back in time to join my family for lunch! perfect morning excursion at a great price!

Dear Tomorin,

Thank you for joining our tour with six people. The conditions on that day were perfect, with calm waves and great visibility, so we took you out to the open water. Right after we set out, we spotted a turtle. After returning your friend who wasn't feeling well back to the beach, we headed out again. We saw another turtle at Witch's, and before heading back inside, we encountered yet another turtle at Black Point. It was a truly lucky day to see turtles at every stop!

We hope to see you again on another tour when you visit Hawaii.

Thank you very much. Mahalo!!

ともりん様、この度は6名様でツアーにお越し頂き、ありがとうございます。この日は波もなく透明度もよく綺麗でしたので、直接沖の方にご案内致しました。沖に出てすぐにカメを1匹、その後具合の悪かったお友達の方をビーチに戻した後に再び沖へ。ウィッチーズでまたカメを1匹、そしてインサイドに戻る前にブラックポイントでまたまたカメを1匹と行く先々でカメに会えてとても幸運な日でした!!是非またハワイにお越しの際にはツアーでお目にかかれればと思います。

The morning gathering was at 6 AM. You can easily recognize the bus with "Yellow Dolphin Middle School" written on it. They arrived on time for the pickup.

On the way to the port, we quickly arrived thanks to our guide Julie's entertaining rapid-fire talk. The driver was Frank.

The local staff member BJ was also bright and fun.

Fortunately, we encountered a pod of dolphins right away. Unfortunately, we didn't get to see any sea turtles swimming.

After that, we all enjoyed a hula lesson and received snacks and juice before returning to the port.

On the way back, we had spam onigiri and juice to eat while returning.

Both the outbound and return trips were smooth without getting caught in traffic, and the entire journey concluded seamlessly.

I saw dolphins! イルカ見えました!

Reviewed by: yu_mi

I participated on February 11, and it was a bit chilly, possibly because it was early in the morning and it had been raining until a couple of days prior. Everyone rented wetsuits for $10. I wore a long-sleeve rash guard and long pants, but I think I would have been cold without the wetsuit.

About 20 minutes after the boat departed, we encountered a pod of dolphins, and everyone jumped into the sea to help look for them. It felt more like watching them swim from a distance rather than swimming with them. We quickly found another pod of dolphins on the second encounter as well.

Unfortunately, during snorkeling, I didn't get to see any sea turtles swimming. I could only see a hand sticking out from behind a rock at the deep bottom. The hula lesson was also fun.

It was a really enjoyable experience that ended in no time. I participated with my family of four (children in 8th and 11th grades), but since it was a physically demanding activity, I think it might be difficult for small children or elderly people.

2/11に参加したのですが、朝が早いことと2、3日前まで雨が降っていた影響もあってか肌寒く、皆んな 10ドルでウェットスーツを借りていました。長袖、長ズボンのラッシュガードを着てましたが、ウェットスーツがなかったら寒かったと思います。
船が出航して20分くらいでイルカの群れと遭遇、みんなで一斉に海に飛び込み協力してイルカを探します。一緒にイルカと泳ぐというよりは、離れたところで泳いでるのを見るという感じでした。
2回目もすぐイルカの群れを見つけられました。
シュノーケリングでは、残念ながらウミガメの泳いでいる姿は見れませんでした。深い底の岩の影から手だけが見えてました。
フラレッスンも楽しかったです。
すごく楽しくあっという間に終わりました。
家族4人(子供、中学2年と高校3年)で参加しましたが、体力のいるアクティビティなので小さなお子さんやお年寄りには無理かなと思いました。

Great overall experience with Trilogy.

Reviewed by: SBMC

The parking structure was a little hard to find. Once parked bring the ticket to meet at the beach and they would validate it. Everyone turned up on time and our group had 32 people. The catamaran was clean, spacious and well equipped with 2 restrooms, a shower, a bar and enough indoor and outdoor seating. All 4 crew members were nice and friendly. Coffee, cinnamon rolls & fresh fruit were SERVED for breakfast. We saw some whales on the way but they weren’t close enough. We stopped at Olowalu. Water was calm and snorkeling was good. Lunch was served at 10:30am. BBQ chicken was delicious and they grilled them on deck. People can do more snorkeling after lunch and we set off around 11:30. I was hoping we would see more whales on our way. Don’t expect to spend too much time whale watching on this tour. There are some cheaper tours out there, I’m not sure how those compare. We saw some boats with tons of passagers on board. We arrived back at Kaanapali Beach at 1pm.

ハワイ島 ケアラケクア湾 シュノーリングツアー <軽食付き/英語ガイド>

I encountered dolphins three times and even saw a dolphin twist jump! イルカに3回も遭遇し、ドルフィンツイストジャンプも!

Reviewed by: えりこ

I parked my car as collateral, and the reception was inside the house. It seemed to be a popular tour, as there was another boat besides ours. As mentioned in other comments, everything is in English, so it might be more enjoyable if you can speak a little, but even if you don't understand at all, you'll manage. (The captain shares some history with us.) Suddenly, we sped off into the ocean. Since it was my first time, I was desperately hanging on to avoid being thrown off. If you get seasick, medication is a must. The view of the Big Island from the ocean is magnificent. It was the best. It was my first experience with snorkeling. They provided life jackets, which made me feel safe. We encountered sea turtles and rays. I also saw many beautiful fish. We encountered dolphins three times. They played with us, doing twist jumps right in front of us! It was truly fun. The captain gave us snacks on the boat, and they were delicious! Hawaiian chips with green chili flavor. After that, I went around supermarkets looking for them, but unfortunately, they weren't available.

Thanks to this, I had a very enjoyable time. I would love to visit again.

車を抵当に停めて受付けはハウス内でした。
人気のツアーのようで、私達の他にもう一隻。
他のコメントにもあるように、全て英語なので少しは話せた方が楽しめるかもしれませんが、全くわからなくても何とかなります。
(キャプテンが歴史を話してくれたりします)
いきなり猛スピードで沖へ爆走。
初参加だったので、必死に振り落とされないようにしがみ付いてました。
船酔いする方はお薬必須です。
沖から見るハワイ島は壮大。最高です。
シュノーケルも初体験。
しっかり救命胴衣を貸してくれて、安心。
海がめ、エイにも遭遇。
沢山の綺麗なお魚たちにも会えました。
イルカは3回も遭遇。遊んでくれたのか、私達の目の前でツイストジャンプ!
本当に楽しかったです。
船上でキャプテンがスナックをくれたのですが、それが美味しかった!
ハワイアンチップの青唐辛子味。
その後それを求めてスーパー巡りしましたが、残念ながら売ってなかった。。

お陰さまでとても楽しい時間でした。
また訪れたいとおもいます。

サンドバー キャプテンブルース 天国の海®︎シュノーケリングクルーズ SUPや浮き輪などレンタルアイテムも!<午前・午後/日本語クルー>

We were blessed with good weather! 天候に恵まれました!

Reviewed by: どんすけ

We visited Hawaii for our honeymoon and participated as a couple. We chose the timing that matched the lowest tide during our stay, but the water level was still a bit higher than our ankles. It was unfortunate that it wasn't a day when the sandbar fully appeared, but it was great that we were able to visit during a clear time after it had rained in the morning.

The day's flow was as follows:
- Picked up from the hotel
- Moved by boat (we had malasadas, and the view of Kualoa Ranch was beautiful)
- After docking, walked to the sandbar (the water level was about waist-high at first; wearing reef shoes is reassuring)
- Photo time at the sandbar (group photos were taken, and individual photos are also available for a fee)
- Returned to the boat for a meal (delicious, with seconds available, and the coffee was great!)
- Snorkeling (some groups had their meals afterward; there were plenty of fish, but the visibility was just okay. We could borrow wetsuits for free)
- Remaining time for marine activities (though it was brief, we could do stand-up paddleboarding)
- Returned to the port (a rainbow appeared)
- Transferred back to the hotel by bus.

Since there were mostly Japanese tourists and the guide spoke Japanese, we were able to relax and enjoy our time. Thank you very much.

新婚旅行でハワイに訪れ、夫婦で参加しました。
日時は事前に滞在する期間で一番、干潮のタイミングが合うときを選びましたが、それでも足首よりも少し高い位置の水位でした。完全にサンドバーが現れる干潮の日ではなく残念でしたが、午前中は雨が降っていたので運よく晴れた時間帯に訪れることができてよかったです。
一日の流れは、ホテルにお迎え
⇒船で移動(マラサダ食べる、クアロアランチがきれいにみえた)
⇒停泊後、船を下りてサンドバーまで歩く(最初は腰くらいの水位、リーフシューズがあると安心)
⇒サンドバーで記念撮影タイム(全体で記念撮影、個人写真もとってくれますが有料)
⇒船に戻って食事(おいしい、おかわりもできるし、コーヒーもおいしかった!)
⇒シュノーケリング(食事があとのグループもありました、魚はたくさんいましたが透明度はままあです。ウェットスーツを無料で借りれました)
⇒残り時間はマリンアクティビティ(ほんとちょっとでしたが、スタンドアップパドルもできました)
⇒港に帰る(虹が出た)⇒バスでホテルまで送迎、でした。
日本人観光客ばかりだったのと、ガイドさんが日本語OKなので安心して過ごすことができました。ありがとうございました。

Aloha! Congratulations on your marriage.
Thank you for participating in the Captain Bruce's Paradise Sea Tour on your important honeymoon day.
Thank you for the detailed tour report! I'm glad to hear that you were able to enjoy the tour with peace of mind. As for the sandbar's tide level, it rises and falls throughout the day, offering beautiful views at each stage. Wasn't the tide level around your ankles sparkling with the reflection of the sun on the water? (Personally, it's my favorite tide level.)
Please come back to visit again as a couple. I look forward to that day. Mahalo!

アロハ!ご結婚おめでとうございます。
先日は大切な新婚旅行の一日にキャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーにご参加頂きまして、ありがとうございました。
詳細なツアーレポートありがとうございます!安心してツアーをお楽しみ頂けたようで何よりです。サンドバーの潮位ですが、1日のうちに上がったり下がったりして、それぞれに美しい景色を見せてくれます。今回ご体験いただいた足首辺りの潮位は、太陽が水面に反射してキラキラしていませんでしたか?(私の、個人的に)もっとも好きな潮位です。
またお二人で遊びにいらして下さいね。その日を楽しみにお待ちしております。マハロ!

モロキニ島シュノーケリングクルーズ <朝・昼食付/現地集合>

Everything is excellent. なにもかも最高です

Reviewed by: mikibuu

Meeting up on-site was nerve-wracking, but when we found the boat at the port, I felt a sense of relief and excitement as if the tour had already begun. A Japanese staff member found our family, and we boarded safely. By the way, we were the only Japanese family there. The female staff member was very kind to us.

Since it was early in the morning, breakfast was included on the boat! There was a generous amount of food available. There were also various drinks. Japanese people tend to be reserved, but it felt like we should confidently go for the food and drinks. We enjoyed a hearty lunch as well. It was delicious.

What impressed me was the sunscreen! It was available in bottles for free use, and it was eco-friendly for the ocean and coral! That's quite rare. The atmosphere on the boat was fantastic, with music playing all the time. It was fun.

Snorkeling was the highlight, as we got to see fish and turtles in the clear water while playing with the kids. Moreover, while free diving, we could actually hear the sound of whales! It was clear! On the way back to the port, we encountered whales due to the season, making it a dream-like day.

現地集合は、ドキドキするけど、港でボートを見つけたりした時の‼️ホッとした感やビンゴ‼️感から、ツアーが始まってる気がする。
日本人スタッフさんが、私達家族を見つけてくれて、無事に乗船。
ちなみに、日本人は、私達家族のみでした。
日本人スタッフさんは、女性で、とても親切にしてもらいました。
朝早かったので、船で朝ごはん付き!しっかり食べれる量が揃ってます。
飲み物も一通りありました。日本人は遠慮しがちですが、臆せず食べ物、飲み物を取りに行こうって感じです。
ランチも同様、ガッツリ頂きました。美味しかったです。
流石だなと思うのは、日焼け止めクリーム!
ボトルで、無料で使いたい放題!しかも、海や珊瑚に優しい日焼け止めクリーム‼️なかなかないです。
ボートの雰囲気も最高で、常に音楽がかかってます。楽しいです。
そしてシュノーケルは、透明度の高い水中で魚亀を子供達と見て遊べて最高だった。さらに、素潜りしていたら、なんと‼️クジラの鳴き声が聞こえるんですよ。ハッキリと❗️港までの帰りは、時期的にクジラが出たりで
夢のような一日でした。

イルカ中学 野生のイルカ&ウミガメシュノーケリングクルーズ 高速ボートでイルカ遭遇率アップ!<少人数制/ワイキキ&コオリナ送迎可/日本語/ランチ付き>

You can see dolphins. イルカがみれる

Reviewed by: uuuu

I was worried that I might not see any natural creatures, but I was able to see dolphins. I didn't get to swim with them, but I did catch a glimpse of their backs swimming in the distance and saw one for a moment as it swam along the seabed. The sea turtles were relaxed, so I was satisfied to be able to take some photos. The guide seemed to have some mood swings.

自然の生き物なので見れなかったらどうしようかと思いましたが、イルカ、みれました。一緒に泳ぐまではいかない、というか私の時は遠くに泳いでる後ろ姿を見れた、海底を泳ぐ姿を一瞬みれた、くらいでしたが。ウミガメはのんびりしてたので、写真も撮れて満足です。
ガイドの方は気分にムラがあるような感じでした。

Hanalei River and Blue Lagoon Kayaking & Guided Snorkeling Tour - Kayak Kauai

Spectacular adventure!!!

Reviewed by: MarkFlannery

Our daughter bought us this trip for our 30th wedding anniversary. We then added four of our good friends that we came with. Kayaking up and down the river was amazing, and on into the ocean. Our snorkeling adventure was awesome, as we saw a Sea Turtle and beautiful fish! Lunch was delicious too! Lisa and Steve did a great job! We were especially grateful for Lisa sharing her expansive knowledge of nature, surfing, and the Hawaiian culture! She was super accommodating taking pictures and setting up lunch! Many thanks!!!

  • What a great way to experience Kauai!!

サンドバー キャプテンブルース 天国の海®︎シュノーケリングクルーズ SUPや浮き輪などレンタルアイテムも!<午前・午後/日本語クルー>

It was fun. 楽しかったです

Reviewed by: なおh

I checked the low tide days as much as possible and made a reservation. Even in the shallowest areas, the water level reached about my calves.

I rented a GoPro from Japan in advance to participate, and I was able to take really good photos and videos, so I recommend preparing a waterproof camera. I remember that it was quite expensive to rent one on-site for this tour.

The staff were cheerful, fun, and kind, and they took a lot of photos for us.

Breakfast was a buffet, and I didn't have high expectations, but it was delicious.

I joined this tour because I wanted to see sea turtles, but unfortunately, when the boat left the sandbar and returned, I could only see a little bit of a shell from a distance... It was really disappointing... Other than that, it was a very enjoyable and satisfying tour. I want to try again someday!

なるべく引き潮の日を調べて予約しました。
一番浅いところでもふくらはぎくらいまで水位がありました。

予め、日本からGOPROをレンタルして参加しましたがとても良い写真と動画を撮ることができましたので、防水カメラを用意することをおすすめします。
このツアーで当日その場で借りることもできるそうですが、結構料金が高かったこと記憶しています。

スタッフの方々も明るく楽しく親切な方々で、写真もたくさん撮ってくれました。

朝食はバイキング形式で、あまり期待をしていなかったのですが美味しかったです。

ウミガメを見たかったのでこのツアーに参加したのですが、残念ながら今回は船がサンドバーを離れて戻る時に、遠くからほんの少し甲羅が見れたくらいでした…本当に残念です…
それ以外はとても楽しく満足できるツアーでした。
またいつかリベンジしたいです!

Aloha! Thank you for joining the Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour. I'm really glad to hear that you enjoyed the tour, including the meals. It seems you only had a brief encounter with the sea turtles. I apologize for that, as it depends on the turtles' mood... We look forward to your next visit, along with the turtles.

アロハ!キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーにご参加頂きまして、ありがとうございました。
お食事も含めてツアーをお楽しみ頂けたようで本当に嬉しく思います。
ウミガメさんとはちょこっとしか遭遇出来なかったんですね。こればかりはホヌ気分なので。。。スミマセン!
次回のなお様のお越しをホヌと一緒にお待ちしております。

I met wonderful companions! 素敵な仲間に出会えた!

Reviewed by: かげぇ

This was my first time participating! I heard that there’s almost a 100% chance of encountering dolphins, but it seemed like we struggled quite a bit this time and had a hard time finding them. Normally, we would have given up, but the instructor's passionate commitment to finding them helped us finally meet the dolphins. Even during the time we couldn’t see any dolphins, there was a lot of thoughtfulness, and it was really enjoyable! I’m not very good at swimming, but I felt quite reassured because they swam with me! The people I shared the experience with were also very cooperative, making it a wonderful memory. If I ever go to Hawaii again, I definitely want to do this!

初めての参加!
ほぼ、100%に近い確率でイルカに出会えるということでしたが今回はかなりの苦戦だったようで中々出会えず。
本来であれば諦めるべきところだったんですがインストラクターの方の熱い気持ちで必死に探してくれ結果イルカに出会えることができました。
イルカに会えない時間も凄く気配りがありとても楽しかった!
泳ぎがあまり得意でなかったけど一緒に泳いでくれかなり安心できた!
一緒に乗り合わせた方たちも協力的でとてもいい思い出です。
また、ハワイに行くことがあれば絶対に行きたいです!

I was able to try multiple times to swim with the dolphins up close. Thanks to that, I was able to swim among a pod of dolphins. As a bonus, I even got to see a whale, which made me very satisfied. Daisuke truly conveyed his love for dolphins, and it felt like he understood their feelings as well. I'm a repeat visitor to the Big Island, and I will definitely be a repeat customer for this tour too!

本当に近くで一緒にイルカと泳げるまでなんどもトライして頂きました。お陰でイルカの群れの中で一緒に泳ぐことができました。
