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>

I was very moved to meet wild dolphins!! 野生のイルカに会えてとても感動しました!!

Reviewed by: こな★

Due to bad weather the day before, we weren't sure if the tour would take place until we arrived on site. Although we set sail, the rough sea caused many people to get seasick. Fortunately, my husband and I had taken motion sickness medication beforehand, so we were fine, but I recommend that even those who usually don’t get seasick take some medication when participating (laughs).

Until the last moment, we weren't sure if we would see dolphins, but the captain and the guide were very dedicated in searching for them, and we were able to see dolphins safely. Because the sea was rough, we could only dive once, but it was still a very satisfying experience. I would love to participate again when I go to Hawaii!

前日の悪天候により、当日現地に着くまでツアーが催行できるかわからない状態でした。
出航はしたものの、あまりの海の荒れように船酔い者が続出の状態…わたしたち夫婦は二人とも事前に酔い止めを飲んでいたので問題なかったですが、参加される際は普段酔わない方も酔い止めの服用をおすすめします(笑)
ぎりぎりまでイルカが見れるかわからない状態でしたが、船長さんはじめガイドの方がとても熱心にイルカを探してくれ無事にイルカを見ることができました^^海が荒れていたため1回しか海に潜ることはできませんでしたが、それでもとても満足度の高い体験になりました。またハワイに行った際はもう一度参加したいと思います★

Congratulations on your graduation from Private Dolphin Middle School.

I am relieved that you were able to swim with the dolphins despite the not-so-great ocean conditions. We are all very happy that you enjoyed your time.

We look forward to seeing you again when you come back to Hawaii. Thank you once again.

The manta ray came close enough for me to see its face, body, and mouth, and while I shouldn't touch it, it got within touching distance... I was scared, but I had an amazing time observing the manta ray.

マンタ大学夜学部 野生のマンタ&ナイトシュノーケリングツアー <送迎可/日本語スタッフ乗船日あり>

I didn't come to eat plankton like on TV. テレビみたいにプランクトン食べには来なかった

Reviewed by: 小木アリッサ

When we arrived at Sheraton's Point, we saw the shadow of a manta ray and immediately jumped into the water, but it never showed up. We held onto a flat rope while waiting, but it swayed with the waves and moved below, so it wasn't much support. Eventually, I grabbed onto the board directly. I was only breathing through my mouth, swaying up and down and side to side, and after half of the people got seasick and gave up to return to the boat, a few manta rays finally passed by, and that was the end of it. I chose a company that allows you to participate again if you don't encounter manta rays, but since I did see a few, I consider it a graduation of sorts. People who participated with two other companies on the same day said, "As soon as we got in the water, a manta did a flip right in front of us," and "We saw so many," which made it even more disappointing that we didn't have a day with manta rays. There were clouds on the horizon, and we were unlucky enough not to see the sunset, which was highly rated in the reviews.

シェラトン沖のポイントに着くとマンタの影が見え、すぐ海に入りましたが、その後一向に現れませんでした。
平たい紐に掴まって待ちますが、波にユラユラ漂うし下にも動くので支えにならず、途中からボードに直接掴まりました。
口呼吸のみで上下左右に揺られ続け、半数の人が気分が悪くなりギブアップして船に戻った後、ようやく数枚のマンタが通過して行き終了。
マンタに遭遇出来なかったら再度参加出来る会社を選びましたが、一応見られたので卒業。
同じ日に別の2社で参加した人達は「海に入るや否やマンタが鼻先で宙返りした」「いっぱい見られました」と言っており、マンタがいなかった日ではない所がさらに残念です。
水平線に雲が懸かっていて、クチコミで評判の夕日さえ見られないという運の悪さでした。

Aloha!! Alissa Ogi,

Thank you for participating in the manta tour. Unfortunately, since the sunset and manta rays are part of a natural experience, we cannot manipulate them, and we regret that we were unable to show them during our tour.

When you join us again next time, our staff will work hard to ensure you can meet many manta rays. We also have dolphin middle school and university tours available when you visit Oahu, so we look forward to welcoming you back.

The manta rays are truly impressive. マンタの迫力満点

Reviewed by: Big_I

I arrived at the port an hour early and while I was walking in the beautiful park by the coast, I was able to see two sea turtles basking in the sun. I highly recommend it. There was apparently only one manta ray, but it was amazing how it flipped and came right in front of me multiple times.

1時間早く港に着いて海岸にあるきれいな公園を散歩してたら甲羅干ししてるウミガメ2匹を見ることができました。おすすめです。マンタは1匹だったらしいですが、宙返りして何回も目の前にやって来るのがすごかったです。

Women in their 50s. 50代前後の女性

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

During the break in our company trip schedule, five women in their 40s and 50s participated. After watching a video about environmental awareness, we were mindful of our impact on fish and coral as we headed to the sea. With guidance from Dan and Chieko, we felt very safe and enjoyed snorkeling. Some of our group hadn't been in the ocean for years, but with the wetsuits we borrowed in advance, we swam close to the rocky areas without feeling anxious, allowing us to relax and enjoy swimming. We even encountered two turtles! We left the sea feeling very satisfied. Thank you for accommodating those who wanted to stop by Diamond Head along the way. While we were anxious about how President Trump's visit would affect our schedule, you provided various advice, and everyone was able to return safely to the hotel. Thank you for everything.

Thank you for joining the tour with Blue Hawaii Divers. It coincided with President Trump's visit to Hawaii and his stop in Waikiki, which led to traffic restrictions and made for a challenging day. I'm glad you were able to return safely from Diamond Head to Waikiki. It seems everyone enjoyed snorkeling, which makes me really happy. The two turtles were a lucky sighting! We would be delighted if you all could join us again on another tour when you visit Hawaii. Thank you very much. Mahalo!!

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ましてありがとうございます。丁度トランプ大統領のハワイ入り、ワイキキ訪問と重なり、ワイキキには交通規制が入り一日中大変な日でしたね。無事にダイアモンドヘッドからワイキキに戻れて良かったですね。シュノーケリングも皆さんに楽しんでいただけたようで、本当に嬉しく思います。2匹の亀さんはラッキーでしたね。是非またハワイにお越しの際には皆さんでツアーにリピートしていただければ幸いです。

It was fun. 楽しかったです

Reviewed by: 喜多八

Unfortunately, it was cloudy on the day of our visit, but it was great to see so many rays and sea turtles. While snorkeling, I encountered a sea turtle resting in a coral nook, and I was able to touch its shell as it surfaced for air. The shell of the green sea turtle, which was about 60 cm long, had several barnacles on it, giving it a dignified appearance that suggested it was quite old.

当日はあいにくの曇模様で下が、エイやウミガメがたくさん見えたのは良かったです。シュノーケリングの時にはサンゴのくぼみで休んでいたウミガメがいて、息つぎに浮上して来たところで甲羅にタッチすることができました。体長60cmはあろうかというミドリウミガメの甲羅にはフジツボが何個かついていて年齢を重ねていると貫禄がありました。

Hanauma Bay Self-Guided Snorkel Tour & Gear Rental with Hotel Transportation

Amazing excursion!

Reviewed by: Husbands from Nevada

This excursion was our first snorkeling excursion in the Pacific Ocean, and it was our first excursion during our trip to O'ahu. The whole experience was outstanding. Veltra called us the day before to confirm the reservation and advise us where to meet the van and when. The driver from Kaimana Tours arrived within the allowed time period, and he was courteous and informative. He told us exactly what to expect when we arrived--including paying the $7.50 park admission fee (per person) completing the conservation education presentation (10-15 minutes, tops), and meeting him afterward (where and when). He passed around a chart of the types of sea life we would see in the bay. The view was breath-taking. The beach was beautiful. The staff were helpful and friendly. The snorkeling was great. Lifeguards were attentive--even using amplified sound at one point to caution some poor swimmers that they needed to move closer to the beach. Afterward, the driver met us when and where he had told us, and we were all on our way back to our hotels.

Highly recommend

Reviewed by: Jasmine

I highly recommend everyone to do this excursion! This was probably the highlight of my whole trip to O’ahu during 10/19-10/25. From the hospitality of the staff to the excursion activities itself, I would want to do this every time I come back!

I also met a gentleman (the one that provides entertainment during lunch) and he was making handmade bracelets with palm leaves. If any of the staff can help me out in getting in contact with him - because I recently lost my anklet he made when I came back to the mainland, that would be great!

Other than that, literally best time of my life!!

It was a fun tour. 楽しいツアーでした。

Reviewed by: まいまい

When we arrived at the harbor in Kaneohe Bay, we were hit by a torrential downpour and were worried about whether we could set out to sea, but it stopped after about 10 minutes and we were able to depart safely. The water level was a bit high that day, reaching up to our thighs at the shallowest point. Perhaps because of the rain, the water was cold and slightly murky, but we were able to enjoy the emerald green sea typical of a sandbar.

The hamburger for lunch was surprisingly delicious, and the staff were cheerful, creating a great atmosphere. During the sea turtle watching, we encountered not only sea turtles but also a rare manta ray, and while snorkeling, we were able to swim alongside the sea turtles. Overall, I was very satisfied with the experience.

カネオヘ湾の港に着いたときに土砂降りの雨に見舞われ海に出れるか不安でしたが、10分ほどで止み無事に出港。この日は少し水位が高めで一番浅くて太ももあたりでした。雨が降ったからか水が冷たく少し濁り気味でしたが、サンドバーらしいエメラルドグリーンの海を楽しむことが出来ました。
ランチのハンバーガーも予想以上に美味しく、スタッフも明るくて良い雰囲気で過ごせました。

ハナウマ湾シュノーケリング 日本語ガイドが海の世界へご案内<シュノーケルセット/終日>

Even beginners can enjoy it. 初心者でも楽しめました

Reviewed by: とちぎ

I was a little anxious about whether I could properly dive during my first snorkeling experience, but on the day of the event, I couldn't contain my excitement in front of the great outdoors and the ocean! The weather was a bit chilly with occasional light rain in the morning, so I was really glad I requested a wetsuit!

I personally think it's important to get used to the seawater, especially since I wasn't familiar with it. We practiced with a lecture and learned to put our faces in the water and dive in shallow areas, which allowed us to swim with schools of fish and enjoy snorkeling until the end! There was a little mishap where I lost my wedding ring underwater, and I regretted not taking it off before participating! I apologize for causing concern to the guide! The guide was very reliable and kind, quickly addressing anyone who wasn't feeling well. I would love to participate again when I come back to Hawaii!

初のシュノーケリングで、きちんと潜れるかちょっとだけ不安がありましたが…参加当日、大自然と海を目の前にするとワクワクがとまりません♪天気は朝から時折、少しだけ雨がパラつき、肌寒さを感じたのでウェットスーツ希望してとっても良かった!
まずは海水に慣れることが大切だなぁと、海水に不慣れな私は個人的に思います。レクチャーと水面に顔をつける事潜ることを浅瀬で練習させてもらえ、魚の群れと泳げたり最後までシュノーケリングを楽しむことが出来ました♪途中、結婚指輪を水中でなくすハプニングがあり外してから参加するんだったぁーと反省!ガイドさんにはご心配をおかけしてしまいました!気分の優れない方がいたらすぐに対処してくれたり大変頼もしい、優しいガイドさんでした。また、ハワイに来たら参加したいと思います♪

Katsuo no eboshi (the scientific name is "Physalia physalis") is commonly known as the Portuguese man o' war. カツオノエボシ

Reviewed by: k50

Due to a change in the trade winds a few days ago, my son was stung by a Portuguese man o' war (electric jellyfish) that washed ashore. It was quite a situation, but the beach is truly beautiful and a wonderful place. After receiving first aid, my son relaxed on the grassy area.

I think many Japanese people are not very aware of the dangers of the Portuguese man o' war, so for those with children, it's important to do some image searches beforehand and be cautious not to touch them. It seems that they can wash up not only in Kailua but also in Lanikai and Waikiki. Additionally, jellyfish warnings are issued about 9 to 12 days after a full moon.

貿易風の流れが数日前から変わった影響で流れ着いたカツオノエボシ(電気クラゲ)に息子が刺されて、大変でしたが、ビーチは本当に綺麗で、素敵なところです。
刺された息子は応急処置後、芝生の広場でのんびり休息していました。
日本人はあまりカツオノエボシの怖さを知らないと思うので、お子様連れの方は、事前に画像検索などをして、触ったりしないように注意が必要ですね・・・。

Thank you very much for participating in the tour. We are truly sorry to hear that your son was stung by a jellyfish while you were enjoying the tour.

We have confirmed the situation with the local operating company, and as you mentioned, jellyfish tend to appear around the full moon, and there are customers who may get stung. As a precaution, the operating company has lifeguards on duty with boards to alert customers on days when jellyfish are present. Additionally, for customers who do get stung, they provide first aid, just as they did for your son on that day. We will continue to take care to ensure that customers do not get stung on days when jellyfish are likely to be seen.

Thank you very much for your valuable feedback during this busy time.

この度は、ツアーにご参加いただき誠にありがとうございます。
ツアーをお楽しみいただいていたところ、息子様がクラゲに刺されてしまったとのこと大変残念に思います。

当日の状況を現地催行会社に確認いたしましたところ、お客様がおっしゃる通り、満月の前後になりますとクラゲが出やすく、刺されてしまうお客様もいらっしゃるとのことでした。催行会社では対策として、クラゲが見られる日はライフガードがボードを抱え、お客様に向けて注意喚起をしているとのことです。また、刺されてしまったお客様には、当日の息子様同様、応急処置をさせていただいているとのことでした。今後もクラゲが見られる日につきましてはお客様に刺されないよう注意をしてまいります。

お忙しい中、貴重なご投稿を賜りまして、誠にありがとうございました。

It seems that it is almost never the case that the sand appears at low tide as mentioned in the title. By the way, I heard that there hasn't been any sand visible this year. The crew members are very nice people. I was able to see turtles. The snorkeling was not great, with few fish. If you're bringing small children, make sure to take floaties with you. You should abandon any sweet thoughts of seeing a beautiful sandbar like I did.

In the morning, it was raining, and I felt very disappointed, but by the time we boarded the boat, the rain had stopped and the sun came out! The sandbar had water up to my waist and chest, and I thought it might have been better to check the tide before booking. However, during the snorkeling afterward, it quickly became deep from the sandbar, and I was moved to see corals, fish, and turtles! I booked the package with breakfast, and it was very delicious. The instructors were fun yet efficient. Thank you for the valuable experience!

朝は雨が降っており、とても残念に思っていましたが、船に乗る頃は雨も止み日も出てきました!
サンドバーは水が腰から胸のあたりまであり、潮の満ち引きを調べて申し込んだ方が良かったかなとは思いました。
でも、そのあとのシュノーケリングではサンドバーから一気に深くなりサンゴや魚たちや亀も見れて感動しまた!

Hawaii's weather can be quite unpredictable, so we generally proceed with the tour even in the rain. Also, the weather can differ between Waikiki and Kailua.
Please don't be disappointed if you wake up to cloudy skies... When you come back to Hawaii, please do come and visit us again!
The sandbar offers various experiences, so I believe you will enjoy it each time. Mahalo!

アロハ!キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーです。
無事にお日様のもとでツアーを楽しんで頂けて本当に良かったです。
ハワイの天気は本当に変わりやすいため基本的には雨天決行となります。またワイキキとカイルアのお天気も違います。
朝起きて曇り。。。でがっかりしないで下さいね。またハワイにお越しの際はぜひ!遊びにいらして下さい。
サンドバーは様々な表情を見せてくれるためその都度楽しんで頂けると思います。マハロ!

I got to meet a dolphin. イルカに会えた

Reviewed by: ひおき

I searched for dolphins for a long time, and I was finally able to meet them, which was very moving! Both the sea and the mountains were beautiful, and I was captivated by the power of nature. Also, regarding the honeymoon plan, I was told that I would receive photos later, but I haven't received them yet. Thank you in advance.

長い間イルカを探し、ようやく会えることができ、感動しました!!海も山も綺麗で自然の力に魅力されました。
あと、ハネムナープランで、後から写真を頂けるとのことでしたが、未だ頂いてないです。宜しくお願い致します。

Aloha!! Hioki-san,

Thank you for participating in the private Dolphin Middle School tour. We are all very pleased that you were able to experience something that is hard to come by in Japan. We have sent the honeymoon photos to kolonn25@yahoo.co.jp on November 5th, so please check them.

There are also manta tours available on the Big Island that are not offered on Oahu, so we look forward to your next participation.

Mahalo!!

Aloha!! ひおき様

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>

I was able to meet many dolphins! ☆ たくさんのイルカたちと会えました☆

Reviewed by: イルカ

It is recommended to do dolphin watching from the second floor, but when I participated, we were on a rather small boat that took the waves head-on, so everyone was feeling quite queasy. Motion sickness medication is a must! Even those who are confident should take it! There were some who still felt sick despite taking it. However, the dolphins are truly amazing. It feels more like being in the same space rather than swimming together, but there were so many of them! At first, I hesitated to jump off the boat, but if you get stuck there, it delays those behind you from jumping in, and someone at the back said they missed seeing the dolphins the first time. However, they do change the order for the second jump. The order of jumping is determined by where you sit, so if you can sit around the middle, you won't be last for both the first and second jumps, making it relatively easier to see the dolphins. I was a bit sad that there were no names like "Dolphin Teacher" or "Turtle Professor" as mentioned in the reviews (laughs), but it was the best experience!! The guide's love for Hawaii and nature really came through. Like a dolphin university, I don't need other activities, but I want to jump in about five times! I wanted to stay in the ocean even longer. It would be amazing if there were longer sessions (extra classes!? laughs)!! I definitely want to participate again.

詳細に『イルカウォッチングなら2階からがオススメ』と書いてありますが、私が参加した時はだいぶ小さな船で、波をもろに受けるので、みんなグロッキーになっていました。酔い止めは必須!自信ある方も飲んでおいた方がいいです!飲んでも酔っている方いました。ただ、イルカは本当にすごいです。一緒に泳ぐというよりは、同じ空間にいる。という感じですが、たくさんいました!最初船から飛び込むのは少し躊躇しますが、そこでつまってしまうと、後ろの方が飛び込むのが遅くなり、一回目後ろの方はイルカに会えなかったと言っていました。ただ、ちゃんと、二回目の時は飛び込む順番を変えてくれます。座った場所で、飛び込む順番が決まるので、真ん中あたりに座れると、一回目も二回目も最後ということは無いので、比較的イルカを見やすいかもしれません。クチコミにあるように、イルカ先生、亀教授という呼び名が無かったのが少し寂しかったです(笑)
が、最高でした!!ガイドさんが、ハワイや自然を愛しているのが伝わってきました。
イルカ大学みたいに、他の種目はいらないけど、5回位飛び込みたい!もっともっと海に居たかったです。中学の内容でもっと長く(居残り授業!?笑)があれば最高です!!
また是非参加したいです。

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>

Thank you, sea turtles. ウミガメ様へ感謝

Reviewed by: 初ハワイアン

I had checked the low and high tides in advance, so I thought I wouldn't be able to walk easily on the sandbar, and that turned out to be true. I think it's best for participants to expect water levels up to about waist height. However, the staff's energy was fantastic, and I thoroughly enjoyed activities like volleyball, snorkeling, and lunch! If you're lucky, you can see a few sea turtles; I spotted five and was able to swim with two of them! Lucky!! One point to note is that it can get quite chilly on the boat when the weather is cloudy, so it's essential to have something to wear on top.

事前に干潮、満潮は調べていたのでサンドバーの上をスタスタ歩くことはできないだろうと思っていたらその通りでした。腰ぐらいの高さまでは普通にあるものだと思って参加された方がいいかと思います。ただ、スタッフさん皆さんのテンションは最高でバレーボール、シュノーケリング、昼食など存分に楽しめました!ウミガメも運が良ければ数匹見れます、私は5匹見つけ、2匹と一緒に泳げました!ラッキー!!1点だけ、移動する際の船の上は天候が曇りだと結構冷えるので、上に羽織るものは必須です。

マンタ大学夜学部 野生のマンタ&ナイトシュノーケリングツアー <送迎可/日本語スタッフ乗船日あり>

So close!! Incredible power!! すごく近い!!大迫力!!

Reviewed by: りんごジュース

You can only have this kind of experience in Hawaii. It's just so close! In fact, we encountered them several times. As soon as we turned on the LED lights on the SUP boards for everyone to catch, the mantas came right over.

It was like a scene from an aquarium. They are just so big. They swim by really close with their mouths open, eating the plankton attracted by the light. They are about the size of two people, which is a bit scary.

By the way, before reaching the mantas, we also got to see a very beautiful sunset.

It was a thoroughly satisfying tour!!

こんな体験はハワイしかできない。とにかく近い!というか何度か当たりました。。
そしてマンタと遭遇するタイミングが早い早い。みんなで捕まる用のSUPボードのLEDライトを点けるとすぐにマンタが寄ってきました。
水族館で見るような光景。とにかく大きい。光で集まったプランクトンを食べているので、口を空けたままめちゃ近くをすれ違います。人間二人分くらいの大きさかな。ちょっとこわいくらい。
ちなみにマンタの場所に到達する前にとても美しい夕日も見られます。
色々大満足なツアーです!!

A wonderful experience. A memory for a lifetime. 素晴らしい体験。一生の思い出

Reviewed by: りんごジュース

I encountered a large number of dolphins—countless, really. On this day, I was lucky to spot dolphins right after getting on the boat. We swam with them for about an hour without moving. The dolphins jumped and were very playful.

In the water, some were sleeping while others were active; the active ones would come up to the surface and then swim close to us repeatedly. The sleeping ones floated in deeper waters. The sound of the dolphins chirping could be heard all around, making it a truly precious experience.

This tour might be canceled soon, but I’m really glad I was able to participate. By the way, even if you can't swim, they provide flotation devices, so you can still join. If you go to Hawaii, you definitely should do this! Lastly, thank you so much to the captain who took us back and shared various things about Kona.

大量のイルカちゃんと遭遇。数え切れないくらい。。
この日はラッキーで船で移動してすぐにイルカと遭遇しました。そしてそのまま移動することなく1時間程泳いでました。
イルカもジャンプしてくれたり、サービス精神旺盛です。
水中は寝てる子と活動してる子がいて、活動してる子は気ままに水面に上がっては近づいての繰り返し。寝てる子は深いところでプカプカ。
イルカのキュイキュイという声があちらこちらで聞こえていて、とても貴重な体験となりました。
もしかしたらもうすぐ中止になってしまうかもしれないツアーですが、参加できて本当に良かった。
ちなみに泳げなくても浮具を貸してくれるので参加できます。ハワイにいったら絶対やったほうがいいです!
最後に、帰り送っていただいた船長さん、コナのことも色々教えて頂いて、本当にありがとうございました(*^^*)

ハワイ島 オーシャンラフティング&シュノーケルリングツアー <英語ガイド/食事付き>

There were a lot of fish! お魚たくさんいたよ~

Reviewed by: ふぃーちゃん

We arrived early with the rental car, applied sunscreen, and were fully prepared! However, despite that, my calves and the back of my thighs got really sunburned from snorkeling. Among the dozen participants, we were the only Japanese couple. We traveled by speedboat and arrived at the snorkeling spot, where the water was clear and there were plenty of fish. We had sandwiches for lunch and moved a little, but during the second snorkeling session, there wasn't much change since we only moved a few hundred meters, which was disappointing. On the way back, we stopped at several places eroded by waves, and the captain explained everything in English, but we were completely lost. We also encountered a pod of dolphins, and the dolphin jumps were heart-melting.

A sudden close encounter just once. 一度だけ急接近

Reviewed by: ふぃーちゃん

I waited for several minutes at Manta Spot, holding onto a surfboard with a light and grip. I spotted a manta ray on the ocean floor! It was far and dark, but then, just once, the manta ray approached quickly while showing its belly! That was the only time I saw it. I was surprised by the number of divers on the ocean floor compared to the manta rays.

It was fun! 楽しかった♪

Reviewed by: pink

I made a reservation after arriving on-site, and although the content was compact, I was very satisfied. It's perfect for times when you have a packed schedule and only need a minimum amount of time, like just in the morning. Even though it's not far from Waikiki, I saw so many sea turtles! There was a group of five honu as well! And the crew member looked just like Orlando Bloom, which was quite mesmerizing (laughs). I would love to participate again someday.

現地についてから予約したのですが、コンパクトな内容なのですがとても満足感はありました。
最低限の時間でいいので、予定が詰まっていて午前中だけ、、、みたいな時にぴったりかと思います。ワイキキから程遠くないところなのに、ウミガメがめちゃめちゃ沢山見れました!!5匹の群れのホヌ達もいました!
そしてクルーの方がオーランド・ブルームに激似で見とれました(笑)
またいつか参加したいです。

The day before and the day before that, I heard that no dolphins were seen at all. However, contrary to my worries, many dolphins appeared! The baby dolphins were tiny and adorable! There were many honeymooners, including us. Since the sun is strong while moving on the boat, it's better to have a rash guard or something similar.
