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>

It was fun! 楽しかった!

Reviewed by: ひまぽ

I felt very safe and had a great time snorkeling thanks to Takako and a Japanese person named Yuu who took care of everything. The rental equipment was well maintained. The water was beautiful and impressive.

タカコさんとゆう日本人の方が色々と面倒みてくださって、とても安心して、楽しいシュノーケルができました。貸し出し道具もきちんとケアされていました。水が綺麗で感動しました。

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>

It became the best memory! 最高の思い出になりました!

Reviewed by: ゆうゆう

We participated for the first time as a couple with our 10-year-old child. I thought we might be sleepy since we woke up early, but we had a great time listening to the lively stories from the staff on the bus. I found the story about how bringing bananas on the boat is bad luck to be quite interesting.

Although it was August, I heard that the water can be quite cold, so we rented wetsuits for the family. It was hot when we changed on the boat, but I was glad it wasn't hot at all in the water.

I’m not very confident in my swimming skills, so I used a float. As soon as we entered the sea, we encountered a pod of dolphins, and I was moved to see them swimming right under our feet multiple times. We also saw a turtle, and the schools of fish were truly beautiful. Our whole family was very satisfied.

The staff were cheerful, and we were able to have a fun time. I purchased the photo data taken by the photographer for $50, and the photos were definitely professional quality. The only cash we spent on-site was for the wetsuit rental and the photos. There were no shops on-site, but we were provided with spam rice balls and drinks as snacks, which was sufficient.

I would love to participate again when we go to Hawaii.

10歳の子と夫婦で初めて参加しました。朝早くから眠いかなと思いましたが、行きのバスから元気なお姉さんのお話を聞きながら楽しく過ごしました。バナナは縁起が悪いので船に持ち込むのはダメ、というお話が面白かったです。
8月でしたが水中は結構冷えると聞いて、ウエットスーツを家族でレンタルしました。船の上で着替えたときは暑かったけど、水中では全然暑くなかったので良かったと思います。
私は泳ぎに自信がないので浮き棒を使わせてもらいました。
海に入るとすぐにイルカの群れに遭遇できて、足の下を群れが何度も通って行くのを見て感動しました。カメにも会えたし、魚の群れも本当にキレイでした。家族全員、大満足です。
スタッフの皆さんも陽気で、楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。
カメラマンさんが撮ってくれた写真のデータを50ドルで購入しましたが、さすがプロという感じの写真でした。現地で使った現金はウェットスーツ代と写真代だけでした。現地に売店などはありませんが、軽食でスパムおにぎりと飲物を頂けたので十分でした。
またハワイに行ったら参加したいです。

Thank you for participating, Yuyuu!
Bananas are considered bad luck, as there's a superstition among sailors that you won't encounter dolphins if you bring them on board, so they are prohibited on the boat.
The fact that you encountered the lucky turtle means that a lot of happiness is sure to come your way!
We sincerely look forward to your next participation.

ゆうゆうさん、ご参加ありがとうございました!
バナナは縁起が悪いというか、船乗りの中でイルカに会えないというジンクスがあるので、ボートには持ち込み禁止になってます.
幸運のカメにも出会えたということは、たくさんのHappyがゆうゆうさんに訪れること間違いなしです!
またのご参加、心よりお待ちしております。

Dolphin イルカ

Reviewed by: ako

My first snorkeling experience with dolphins was exhilarating. We traveled to the spot by boat, and the weather was perfect, making the journey even more enjoyable! Once we arrived, the guide observed the dolphins' movements and chose the best spot for us to dive in. Dolphins swam right in front of us, and as I looked around, I spotted a mother and baby dolphin below me. They even came close to me, which was incredibly exciting. The guide swam with the dolphins, and it was truly amazing. I definitely want to do this again when I visit the Big Island!

初のイルカとのシュノーケリング、ワクワクで参加。
ポイントまで、ボードで移動。天気にも恵まれて移動中も気分は最高‼️
ポイントについて、ガイドの方がイルカの動きを見て、ベストな所でダイブイン。目の前をイルカが通過したり、周りをキョロキョロしてると、自分の下の方に親子連れのイルカがいたり、自分の近くまで近寄ってきたりと大興奮です。ガイドの方は、イルカと一緒に泳いだりしていて、本当に凄かった。
またハワイ島に行ったらやりたいと思いました。

It was amazing. 最高でした

Reviewed by: がっちゃん

I had a very enjoyable day! First of all, the guide was incredibly fun! She was bright and attentive to her surroundings. On the day of the tour, instead of boarding a boat with only Japanese people, we took an international boat. As a result, it was a smaller group, which I think was great. The BBQ for lunch was also very delicious, and we were able to see many sea turtles.

とても楽しい1日を過ごせました!
まずガイドのお姉さんが最高に楽しい!明るくて周りをしっかり見てくれている方でした。
当日、日本人だけの船には乗らず、インターナショナルな船に乗船。結果、少人数になり良かったと思います。お昼のBBQもとても美味しかったし、ウミガメもたくさん見ることができました。

This is my second time coming to Hawaii, and although I participated in a dolphin tour last time, this was my first time joining a tour with this company!
We left early in the morning, but the stories on the bus were so entertaining that we arrived at the port in no time, haha.
The staff were all fun and friendly, which made me feel very comfortable participating. I was extremely satisfied seeing dolphins and sea turtles in the beautifully clear ocean! The weather was great, and I had the best experience on a perfect day for a dolphin tour! Diving into the crystal-clear water felt like flying in the sky, and it was so refreshing that all my daily fatigue just disappeared! The tour was truly enjoyable from the boat ride there and back, and although I had never bought additional photos before, I had so much fun that I ended up buying them for the first time! Thank you! I will participate again next time!!

ハワイに来るのは今回で2回で、前回もイルカのツアーには参加したのですが、この会社のツアーに参加するのは今回が初めてでした!
早朝からの出発ですが、バスの中での話が面白くてあっという間に港に着きました 笑
スタッフさんも面白くて楽しい方ばかりで、とても安心して参加することができ、透き通った綺麗な海で見るイルカとウミガメに大満足!!天気も良く、絶好のイルカツアー日和に最高の体験をすることが出来ました!海面まで透き通っている海に潜っていると、まるで空を飛んでいるようで、日頃の疲れが全てぶっ飛ぶくらい気持ちよかったです!そして船上の行きも帰りまで本当に楽しいツアーで、追加写真などは今まで買ったことがなかったのですが、楽しすぎて初めて買ってしまいました!!ありがとうございます!次も参加します!!

I made a lifelong memory. 一生の思い出ができました

Reviewed by: ゆりりゅう

I participated with my two children, a fourth grader and a second grader. It was our first time snorkeling and swimming in a sea where we couldn't touch the bottom, but each staff member was incredibly attentive, providing support and assistance in a very unobtrusive manner.

We were very lucky that day and were amazed to find ourselves swimming right above a large pod of dolphins. We also encountered sea turtles and rays, and my children had a great time touching real sea urchins.

I completely forgot about the reconfirmation by 8 PM the day before, and when I realized it was already past 9 PM, I left a voicemail at the local office. I was really anxious about not being picked up that morning, but when I arrived at the meeting point at 5:30 AM, they successfully picked us up. It was reassuring to know that VELTRA confirmed our local reservation from Japan, which eased my worries.

Next time, I definitely want to participate in the Dolphin University as well. Thank you very much!

小4と小2の子連れ&母の3人で参加しました。
シュノーケル未経験&足のつかない海でのスイミングも初めてでしたが、
スタッフの皆さん一人一人が細やかな気配りをしてくださり、実にさりげなくかつ常にフォロー&サポートしてくださいました。
当日はとてもラッキーで、イルカの大群の真上を泳いでいる自分たちに親子ともにビックリ。ウミガメやエイにも会えたし、子どもは本当のウニも触れてとても楽しそうでした。

前日20時までのリコンファームをすっかり忘れていて、気づいた時には21時過ぎ。現地のオフィスに留守電を残したものの、当日の朝に迎えに来ていただけなかったらどうしよう・・ととても不安な気持ちで早朝の待ち合わせ場所に向かったのですが(朝5時半)、無事、ピックアップしていただけました。不安な気持ちの中で、時差を活かしたVELTRAさんが現地の予約を日本から確認してくださったのですが、それもとても心強かったです。

次回はぜひイルカ大学にも参加したいと思います。ありがとうございました。

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>

I couldn't see the turtles, so... カメがみられなかったので・・・

Reviewed by: よんです

On that day, there was only one other group of Japanese people besides our group, but there were about 100 foreign tourists on board. The explanations and announcements were in English, but there was a Japanese guide who provided additional explanations.

Whether it was for our sake or if they usually do this, they were out on boards checking for safety in the water. It was reassuring to be able to ask for help in Japanese.

As we headed towards Molokini Island, the color of the sea changed, and it was truly beautiful. The water was shallow enough that we could see the bottom.

In the morning, we had a simple meal of fruits and bread, and for lunch, there were burgers or hot dogs. Personally, I found the taste to be rather basic and not particularly delicious.

For drinks, we had guava juice and coffee in the morning, and afterwards, there were cola and Sprite. There seemed to be water available separately. On the return trip, they also served alcohol.

There were separate restrooms for men and women, and there was a simple shower at the back of the boat. It was the type that you had to hold down manually, so it was difficult for shorter people to use, and it wasn't suitable for long periods.

Unfortunately, for several days including that day, the waves were rough and the water was murky, so we couldn't go to the spots where sea turtles could be seen. Instead, we ended up doing two snorkeling sessions at Molokini Island (which was beautiful, though).

If you're going to Maui, I think you should definitely visit Molokini Island.

その日は私たちグループのほか1組しか日本人はおらず、でも外国からの観光客で、100人くらいは乗っていたでしょうか。
説明や放送は英語でしたが、日本人のガイドさんがいて、別途説明してくれました。
海でも私たちの為か、普段からいらっしゃるのか、ボードで出ていて危険がないか見てくれていました。
日本語で助けを求められるので安心でした。
モロキニ島に向かう途中から海の色が変わり、本当にきれいでした。
水深があまりないので、底まで見えました。
朝はフルーツとパン等の簡単な食事、昼はバーガーかホットドックです。
私的には大雑把な味ですごくおいしいというものではなかったです。
飲み物は、朝はグァバとコーヒー、それ以降はコーラとスプライト。別途水があるようでした。
帰りの船ではアルコールも出していました。
トイレは一応男女別にあり、シャワーも船の後方に簡易のものがありました。
手で押さえておかないといけないタイプだったので、背が低いと大変だし、長時間は使えないです。
残念ながら、その日を含む数日は、波が多くて濁っており、ウミガメがみられる場所には行けず、
モロキニ島で2回のシュノーケリングをすることになりました。(きれいだったけど)
マウイに行くなら、モロキニ島へは行くべきだと思いました。

Dear Yuu & An, thank you for bringing your whole family this time. It was such a beautiful day, and I believe everyone did a great job swimming from one end to the other. Also, when we were walking back from the ocean, we spotted a turtle, and it was a day when only those who still had energy went back to see the turtle. Next time, I hope the children will also get to see the turtle. If you have the opportunity to come to Hawaii again, please come back with everyone. We are always here to welcome you. Thank you very much. Mahalo!!

Dolphins right next to us! イルカがすぐ側に!

Reviewed by: たけちゃん

We were able to encounter a large group of dolphins right after setting sail. It was such a lucky experience! The dolphins came much closer than I had expected, and I was very satisfied. However, there were a lot of people in one group, and many were not familiar with snorkeling, which made movement a bit difficult. It was also challenging with many people splashing around and kicking up water.

That said, I was able to hear the dolphins' ultrasonic sounds and swim with sea turtles, making it a very valuable experience. The guide and the photographer were all wonderful, and I enjoyed the entire trip without getting bored! The hospitality of the staff was also outstanding!

出航してすぐに、イルカの大群と遭遇することができました。とてもラッキー!思っていたよりも、ずっと近くにイルカがやってきて、大満足でした。ただ一グループの人数が多く、シュノーケルに不馴れな方も多いので、動きずらかったのが唯一残念なところです。バシャバシャ泡を立ててフィンを蹴る人も多く、困りました。
とはいえイルカの超音波の声も聴けて、海ガメとも泳ぐことができて、とても貴重な体験になりました。
ガイドさんもカメラマンも皆良い方ばかりで、移動中も終始飽きることなく楽しめました!スタッフのみなさんのホスピタリティーも満点です!

Aloha Take-chan,

Thank you for your consideration regarding the splashing during snorkeling. It's an important point to keep in mind that if we make loud noises, the dolphins may swim away, even when they are right in front of us. I'm very happy to hear that you enjoyed the tour! We sincerely look forward to your next participation :)

It's truly a paradise of a sea! まさに天国の海!

Reviewed by: ひがし

We went to Hawaii for our honeymoon, and at my wife's request, we participated in a sandbar tour. Due to the weather, there was no sandy beach, and we were constantly submerged up to our waists in water, but the clear sea and the impressive view of Kualoa made us feel like we were part of nature. The staff were Japanese, and all the announcements were in Japanese. Because of that, all about 20 guests were also Japanese. In that sense, the feeling of being in Hawaii might be slightly diminished.

The tour boat was surrounded by sea turtles and fish that resembled porcupinefish, allowing us to take plenty of photos up close! We also enjoyed snorkeling and paddleboarding, which was a lot of fun.

新婚旅行でハワイに行きましたが、妻の希望でサンドバーツアーに参加しました。
天候の関係か、砂浜はなく常に腰くらいまで水に浸かっている感じでしたが

4.5-Hour Deluxe Kona Snorkel Tour & Dolphin Watch with Lunch - Body Glove Cruise

Body Glove Tour

Reviewed by: Stephany

It was a great snorkeling experience. They did a great job all around. Seeing Dolphins is a guarantee. They hang out just off the coast on the way to and from the snorkeling location. The food they served was great and included (breakfast/lunch). They provide some drinks for free with the food. Any smoothies or alcoholic drinks you must pay for and there is a bar on the boat for that. They provide rash gaurds, towels, fins, snorkels, various floatation devices (noodles, boards, etc...). I did start feeling a little sea sick and missed out the last 15 min of water time before we headed back. So I would recommend taking some Dramamine if you get motion sickness.

I am satisfied. 満足です

Reviewed by: まこぽん

On the day of the tour, the water level was up to my thighs even in shallow areas. However, the staff's hospitality and the luxurious meals showed various considerations for Japanese guests. After boarding, we were served drinks and donuts, and there was an all-you-can-eat lunch during the tour, which was satisfying.

It seems there are many similar tours to the same location, but I'm glad I chose this one even though it was a bit more expensive.

The bus driver for the round trip didn't seem to speak Japanese. On the way there, he explained the overall flow and the consent form in English, but I couldn't catch it well. There was consideration to ensure the air conditioning in the vehicle wasn't too cold, which made it feel a bit hot instead.

It's a pity that I couldn't see any turtles. There's nothing that can be done about that. I would like to participate again.

当日は浅い場所でも太ももくらいまで水位がありました。
しかしスタッフのホスピタリティや、食事の豪華さなど、日本人向けに色々な配慮がありました。
乗船後にドリンクとドーナツ。ツアー途中にも食べ放題のランチと満足です。
同じ場所に行く似たツアーは、他にも沢山あるようですが、多少高くてもこちらを選んで良かったなと思ってます。

往復のバスの運転手さんは日本語が出来ない方のようでした。往路で英語で全体の流れと承諾書記入の説明をされましたが、よく聞き取れませんでした。車内の冷房が冷えすぎないようにという配慮があり、逆に暑いくらいでした。

I thought we could sit the baby on the sand, but unfortunately, the water depth at the sandbar was about 120 cm, so we ended up putting the baby in a float. I guess that's just luck at that moment...

The sea turtle watching was great; we were able to see many sea turtles, which was satisfying. The guide was energetic and very kind in taking care of the baby, which we really appreciated.

0歳10ヶ月の赤ちゃん連れで挑みました。赤ちゃん用のライフジャケットも用意されており、安心して乗船できました。ベビーを砂に座らせることができるのではないかと思っていたのですが、残念ながら、サンドバーの水深が120cmくらいあり、浮き輪に入れて浮かべる感じになりました。こればかりはその時の運ですね・・。
ウミガメウォッチングはたくさんのウミガメを見ることができて、満足です。ガイドのお姉さんが元気でベビーに対するケアも親切にしてくださって、ありがたかったです。

It was the best time of my life! 人生最高の時間だった!

The sand at Blue was very beautiful, and it was a great experience. I was able to see sea turtles as well. Although it was advertised as a BBQ, they actually served hamburgers. However, they were delicious, so it was fine.

サンドブルーがとてもきれいでいい体験になりました。ウミガメもしっかり見れました。BBQとあるけど実際はハンバーガーの提供。でも美味しかったのでよいです。

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>

If there were no seasickness... 船酔いがなければ…

Reviewed by: はく☆

I used this for my honeymoon! Seeing the manta rays up close was truly moving! Personally, even though I took motion sickness medication, the time spent searching for manta rays at the snorkeling spot was long, and the strong winds and rough waves made me feel seasick... Even while watching the manta rays, the waves were rough and I got nauseous. It felt like I barely managed to take some photos.

For those who get motion sickness, it might be better to eat dinner after it's over. Also, I think it's good to take extra motion sickness medication...

ハネムーンで使用しました!マンタが本当に間近で!感動でした!
個人的には、酔い止めを飲んだのにシュノーケリング地点に到着してマンタを探している時間が長く、また風が強く波が激しかったので船酔いに…マンタを見ている最中も波が荒く酔ってしまって。やっとの思いで写真が撮れたって感じです。
乗り物酔いをする人は夕食は終わってから食べた方がいいかもです。そして、酔い止め多めが良いかと…思います。

Aloha Haku,

Thank you for your suggestion that dinner is recommended during the tour. We appreciate you sharing the best shots of the manta rays that you worked hard to capture during the tour!

When participating in the manta experience, it might be better to have a light dinner. Also, it seems that taking motion sickness medication once the day before and again just before boarding is effective, so please give it a try when you join the tour.

Mahalo

Aloha はく様

夕食はツアーごがおすすめとのご意見ありがとうございます。
ツアー中、頑張って撮られたへマンタのベストショットをUPしていただいてありがとうございます!

マンタご参加の際は夕飯は控えめにしていただいた方が良いかと思います。
また、酔い止めは前日に一度乗る前にもう一度飲んでいただくと効果的のようですので、ツアーご参加の際はお試しください。

I swam with dolphins and sea turtles! イルカとウミガメと泳いだ!

Reviewed by: ティアラ

The staff really got everyone excited, and it became a wonderful memory from start to finish. We saw dolphins from a distance, but my 6-year-old son was thrilled when a dolphin came close to the surface and he could see it up close. A sea turtle also came near, and my son got to take a picture right next to it! At the end, they even gave us a gift! It turned out to be the best trip ever!

スタッフの方々が盛り上げてくださり最初から最後までとても楽しく素晴らしい思い出になりました。
イルカは離れたところで見えました。6歳息子はイルカが水面まで来て近くで見えたようで大喜びでした。ウミガメも近くに来てくれて息子は真横で写真を撮ってもらいました!最後、プレゼントまで下さって!最高な旅行になりました‼︎

Captain Bob's Kaneohe Sandbar Snorkeling Tour & BBQ Lunch with Waikiki Pickup

Fantastic!

Reviewed by: Paola e Roberto

It was a beautiful trip! Captain Bob's group is phenomenal! Kanehone bay sandbar is spectacular: it is a sandy "language" in the middle of the sea, and although it is true that there is only sand, it is amazing the excitement of swimming, playing volleyball and snorkeling! Great BBQ. Thanks for everything.

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's difficult because we're dealing with nature... 自然が相手なので難しいが...

Reviewed by: ryohei

On the day of the event, the weather was somewhat unstable, with a mix of clouds and sunshine, and it felt a bit chilly. Since it was the afternoon, the sandbar was deeper than expected, and the water level was high enough that women could barely keep their faces above water. We did see sea turtles, but snorkeling was interrupted due to a massive jellyfish bloom, causing nearly half of the participants to get stung and panic ensued, leading to a halt after about ten minutes. Since we are dealing with nature, such situations are somewhat unavoidable, but I was disappointed as I was looking forward to snorkeling. The staff's response was very good, so I would like to try again if the opportunity arises.

当日は天候がやや不安定で曇ったり、晴れたりと微妙な天候で、やや寒い思いをしました。
サンドバー自体も午後の時間帯であったので、思ったよりも深く、女性は顔が出るのが精一杯まで水位が高かったです。
海ガメは見れましたが、シュノーケリングはクラゲが大量発生し、参加者の半数近くが刺されてパニック状況になり、10分程度で中断となってしまいました。
自然が相手なので、ある程度こういうケースもあるのは致し方無い事ですが、シュノーケリングを楽しみにしていたので残念でした。
スタッフの方の対応はとても良かったので、また機会があったらチャレンジしたいです。

Thank you very much for participating in the tour. However, we are very sorry that you were unable to enjoy the tour content you were expecting due to the conditions of the sea.

We have confirmed the situation on the day with the local operating company. As you mentioned, the water level at the sandbar was up to the shoulders of our female guests. The water level at the sandbar varies greatly between high tide and low tide, so we appreciate your understanding that there may be times when the beach is not visible due to the tides. Regarding jellyfish, they can occur throughout Hawaii depending on the season. In such cases, we prioritize the safety of our guests and may suspend all sea activities, including snorkeling. On that day, there was a guest who was stung by a jellyfish, and we provided first aid and suspended snorkeling. We understand that you were disappointed not to fully enjoy the activities during your trip to Hawaii. We appreciate your feedback regarding the staff's response, and we are grateful for your kind words. Together with the operating company, we look forward to serving you again.

We take your comments seriously and will work with the operating company to further improve our services in the future. Thank you very much for your valuable feedback during your busy schedule.

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。
しかしながら、海の状況によりご期待されていたツアー内容をお楽しみいただくことができず大変残念に思います。

当日の状況を現地催行会社に確認させていただきました。おっしゃる通り、サンドバーの水位は女性のお客様の肩ほどまであったとのことでした。サンドバーの水位は満潮と干潮で大きく異なりますので、潮の満ち引きの関係上砂浜が見えない場合もございますこと、ご理解いただけますと幸いです。なお、クラゲについてですが、時期によってハワイ全域で発生することがございます。そういった場合はお客様の安全を第一に考えシュノーケリングに限らず海のアクティビティは中断となりますことご了承ください。この日もクラゲに刺されてしまったお客様がいらっしゃいましたので応急処置をさせていただき、シュノーケリングは中断させていただきました。せっかくのハワイ旅行にてアクティビティを存分にお楽しみいただけず、がっかりされたこととお察しいたします。そんな中、スタッフの対応にご満足いただけたとのことご意見を頂戴しありがとうございました。催行会社共々、またご利用いただけますこと心待ちにしております。

お客様からのお言葉を真摯に受け止め、催行会社と共に、今後さらなるサービス向上に努めてまいります。

We participated as a family of three. The sea was beautiful, and we played volleyball on the water, which was a fun first experience. Luckily, we also got to see sea turtles, which was great. I was impressed by the staff's kind and attentive service. Oh, and the hamburgers for lunch were delicious too. I would love to participate again if I have the chance.

家族3人で参加しました。海は綺麗で、海の上でバレーボールをしましたが初めての経験で楽しかったです。運良く海亀も見られて良かったです。
また、スタッフの方々の親切でしっかりした対応には感心しました。あっお昼食のハンバーガーも美味かったですよ。機会が有ればまた参加したいと思います。

Maui to Lanai Snorkel Cruise with Breakfast & Lunch from Lahaina

Beautiful day

Reviewed by: Vik34

The captain and crew were exceptional. The snorkeling was awesome, we even got to swim with turtles. We found spinner Dolphins on the way to Lanai that were fun to watch. The BBQ was good, hot dogs and Hamburgers and the morning food was fruit and muffins/donuts. The water was warm and there was lots to see. The boat had a slide that was fun to slide down into the water (optional).

Molokini and Turtle Town Snorkel Cruise with Food & Open Bar - Pride of Maui

Great overall adventure

Reviewed by: Lane W

Great attentive staff. Great venues at Molokini and Turtletown. I swam with a turtle. The food was great- best burger I've had in a while. The boat ride was great. I liked having the option of being out of the sun on the main deck or outside on the the deck or up on top and there was plenty of seating. It was nice having a restroom available. We really enjoyed it and I would highly recommend this trip for all ages. There was a toddler on board and some older people who did not swim but stayed on the boat and still had the option to view fish through the glass bottom window.

プライベートチャーター ケアラケクア湾シュノーケリング+イルカウォッチングツアー!GoProレンタルあり<午前/日本語ガイド>

I was able to see a pod of dozens of dolphins! イルカの何十頭の群れが見れました!

Reviewed by: 船酔いさん

I was really able to swim with dolphins! On the day I participated, we encountered dolphins right after the boat left the port. I was surprised to see dolphins swimming in such a place! Under the guidance of Daisuke, who loves dolphins, we positioned the boat well and entered the water, but it was challenging to avoid splashing when entering. Timing for the dolphins to come was also tricky, so it seems important to keep your face in the water and look around while you're in the sea. There were two divers, but I think practicing to swim to some extent beforehand would allow you to swim more with the dolphins. The baby dolphins were jumping on the surface and were incredibly cute! Above all, when I heard the dolphins' voices underwater, it felt mystical. I can't guarantee it, but they really work hard to help you swim with the dolphins, so I believe it's definitely worth participating if you want to swim with them!

本当にイルカと泳ぐことができました!
今回参加した日は港から船が出たすぐの部分でイルカに会うことができました。こんなところで自然のイルカが泳いでるの!?とビックリしました。イルカ大好きダイスケさんの指示のもと船を良い部分に付けて海に降りるのですが、着水時に水しぶきが出ないようにしなければいけずそれが難しかったです。イルカが来るタイミングも難しいので海にいるときは常に顔を水につけてキョロキョロすることが大事みたいです。ダイバーさんは二人いましたがある程度泳げるように練習しておくとよりイルカと泳げると思います。イルカは赤ちゃんイルカがたくさん水面を跳ねててとても可愛かったです!何より海の中でイルカの声を聞けたときは神秘的なものを感じました。絶対とは言いませんがイルカと泳げるようかなり頑張ってくれるのでイルカと泳ぎたい方はぜひ参加する価値ありだと思います!
