All Reviews for Snorkeling Cruises & Tours

It was a very good experience tour.

I thought a regular pickup would come, but a really cool, big, and beautiful bus arrived, and everyone got excited.

There were plenty of monitors inside the bus, and the explanations were easy to understand. The female guide not only spoke Japanese but also created a great atmosphere, making it fun.

The tour was enjoyable for all the members. We got to see and swim with dolphins.

The snorkeling afterward was also very good. Since it can be cold, it's definitely better to borrow a wetsuit at the beginning.

とても良い体験ツアーでした。

普通のお迎えが来ると思っていたらとてもカッコいいデカイ、キレイなバスがきてみんなでテンション上がりました。

モニターもバス内にたくさんあり、説明がわかり易かったです。
ガイドの女性も日本語が話せるだけではなくとても空気を作れる方で楽しかったです。

ツアーは、メンバーが全て楽しかったです。
イルカも見れて泳げて

その後のシュノーケルもとてもよかった。
寒いので
最初の段階で必ずウェットは借りたほうがいいです。

On the day of the tour, it unfortunately rained, but I was able to see both sea turtles and manta rays up close! The staff were all friendly, making it a fun tour.

ツアー当日は生憎の雨模様でしたが、ウミガメ・マンタ両方を間近で見ることができました！
スタッフも気さくな方々ばかりで楽しいツアーでした。

Incredible, awesome, different and the crew are OUTSTANDING!
My 2nd time, and I brought along 23 people with me and again it was GREAT. All our first timers LOVED it. It was rough seas from a severe storm the two previous days, which affected seeing the crater on the sea floor, but lots of fish were out to play. Saw quite a few turtles too.
All my guests said it was TERRIFIC and they had a ball!!
The crew are always smiling, helpful and FUN!!!
Thanks again guys!!!

Great snorkelling amongst turtles and gorgeous tropical fish. Terrific sailing experience also, with excellent crew onboard. Drinks and snacks available, bring small amount of cash

Absolutely fantastic experience. The guys that looked after us were fabulous. Would easily do it again.

It can't be helped since we were dealing with wild animals like manta rays, but it was disappointing when time ran out after waiting on the boat in the cold. It seems that other boats didn't see them that day either. In a way, you could say it was a genuine tour rather than a staged one... The staff mentioned that I could participate for free next time, but there wasn't any detailed information, so I'm worried about whether they will really accommodate that for free.

野生の動物マンタ相手なので仕方がないですが、寒い中、ボートに揺られ待っていたので時間切れになった時は残念でした。この日は他の船でも見れなかったみたいです。ある意味、仕込みでは無いリアルなツアーとも言えますが。。。スタッフの方は次回無料で参加可能と言っていましたが、詳しい案内も無かったのでほんとうに無料で対応して頂けるのか不安です。

For someone that has never snorkeled or dove before, this was amazing and makes me want to get my diving certification! It was so easy, the crew was great and I just don't have enough words to describe how awesome it was. We saw squid, turtles and loads of colorful fish! I would do this over and over again!

Thanks Taylor for a great day and super photos and videos!

I continued to persuade my wife, who cannot swim, to join a snorkeling whale shark tour in Cebu last year, saying, "You can float!" This year, we challenged ourselves with snuba. My wife kept saying, "I'm so nervous! My heart is racing!" even before we left the hotel in the morning.

After about an hour of being rocked by the waves while having breakfast on the catamaran, we arrived at Lanai Island. As for my wife, she kept putting her face in the water and saying, "Buhh!" and then "Pahhh!" After 10 minutes of floating, she couldn't dive. However, thanks to Todd, our snuba instructor, who encouraged her with "You can! Believe me!" she finally went underwater.

She was deeply moved by being able to breathe underwater and, when it was over, she exclaimed, "Ahh, that felt so good! Why haven't I done this before?!" just like she said after last year's whale shark tour.

After snorkeling, those who wanted to could join a short tour of the island. Then we enjoyed a barbecue before heading back to the boat. The return trip had higher waves due to the wind. The catamaran stopped its engine and began sailing. I thought about getting tipsy on beer before getting seasick, so I enjoyed a Hawaiian beer. By the way, alcohol is all-you-can-drink.

The crew's hospitality in trying to entertain the participants was wonderful. We had a great time from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM. I think the cost performance is excellent.

Thank you, Captain Turtle, Crazy Cat Mario, Diving Todd, Balance Ninja Boy Brandon!! We would like to join the tour next year too, with you as the crew.

　泳ぎのできない妻を説得し続けて（昨年はセブ島で「浮いてられるから」とシュノーケリング・ジンベイザメ・ツァーに参加）、今年はスヌーバに挑戦。
　妻は朝ホテルを出る前から「緊張する! ドキドキする!!」と言い続けていました。
　カタマランで朝食を頂きながら波に揺られること1時間少々。ラナイ島到着。
　扨て、妻はと言えば、顔をつけては「ブフゥー」。顔をつけては「パフゥー」。浮くこと10分、潜れません。が、スヌーバ担当のTODDの「You can! Believe me!」洗脳(?)で漸く海中に。
　海の中で呼吸できることにいたく感動して、終わってみれば「あぁ〜気持ちよかったぁ。今まで何でやって来なかったんだろう!?」と、去年のジンベイザメ・ツァーの時と同じこと言ってました。
　シュノーケリング後、希望者は島内ショートツァーへ。
　そしてバーベキューをしこたま食べて船に。
　ここからの帰りは風の具合で波が高くなります。そして、カタマランはエンジンを止めてセイリングを開始。船酔いする前に酒酔いしてしまおうかと、ハワイビールを頂きました。因みに、アルコールは飲み放題です。
　参加者を楽しませようとするクルーの気遣いは中々のものです。
　09:00から18:00まで、たっぷりと楽しみました。CPはバッチリだと思います。
　The crew's hospitality trying to entertain the participants was wonderful. Cost performance is also satisfactory enough, we enjoyed plenty.
　Thank you, Captain Turtle, Crazy cat Mario, Diving Todd, Balance ninja boy Brandon !!
　We would like to join the tour next year too, which you are the crew.

The sunset on the way to the manta point on the north side by boat was amazing, with a glimpse of the unique green flash that Hawaii is known for. However, to my surprise, I didn't get to see any mantas, and it started to rain coldly along the way, pouring down by the time we arrived at the port. I believe that Pele, the goddess of the Big Island, is calling me to come back, so I will return to the Big Island for a revenge trip!

港から船でマンタの北側のポイントに着くまでの、サンセットはハワイならではのグリーフラッシュも少し見えて最高な気分でしたが、まさかのマンタに会えず、途中から冷たい雨が降り始め、港に着く頃は土砂降りの雨でした。
ハワイ島の神様のペレがまた来なさいと呼んでくれていると信じ、リベンジしにまたハワイ島に行きます！

We participated as a couple, and all the other participants were foreigners. On the way there, we took a boat and after about 30 minutes of searching for dolphins, we went snorkeling. The water was a bit cold, but we enjoyed it for about 30 minutes. However, the coral wasn't as impressive as in Okinawa. After about an hour, we arrived at the Na Pali Coast. The breathtaking view was spectacular and definitely worth the trip (see photo). We spent about an hour exploring around the Na Pali Coast, and then had lunch on the way back, but I couldn't eat due to seasickness. Unfortunately, I had to have my lunch packed to go. About 30 minutes before disembarking, the waves calmed down, and I recovered from the seasickness, allowing me to have a late lunch. We made it back safely.

One point to note: the meeting place, "Port Allen Marine Center," refers to the area, but you need to go to the tour company "Holo Holo." I found this out by asking at a different office. I would like the voucher to reflect this information.

I participated in the tour on the morning of April 12. The tide was high, and the minimum line was at waist level, so we couldn't see the sandbar. Moreover, the weather was bad and the water temperature was low, causing those who participated in snorkeling to shiver so much that they could hardly eat. It was disappointing that we couldn't fully enjoy the sea, but it was nice that a turtle came close to the boat. The staff also entertained us, and the food was delicious.

４月１２日朝のツアーに参加しました。
潮位が高く、最低ラインは腰の位置で、サンドバーは見れませんでした。
しかも、天候が悪くて水温が低く、シュノーケリングに参加した人たちは、寒さで食事を取る手もガタガタ震えていたほどです。
十分に海を楽しむことができなくて残念でしたが、亀が船の近くまでよってきてくれたので、よかった。
スタッフも楽しませてくれたし、食事も美味しかった。

Most of the participants were foreigners, and there were only a few Japanese people, but it was reassuring to have a Japanese guide. They were very friendly, which made me feel at ease. The meals and drinks were plentiful. At the snorkeling spot, I was able to see sea turtles clearly, and I made some great memories.

参加者はほぼ外人さんで、日本人は数人しかいませんが
日本人のガイドさんなので安心です。
とても気さくなかたで安心しました。
食事も飲み物も充実しています。
シュノーケルスポットではしっかりとウミガメをみることもできましたし、いい思い出ができました。

The staff were very friendly, and I was able to have a great time. I got to see a beautiful sunset from the boat, and I was thrilled to see manta rays up close, almost as if I could touch them. They swirled around right in front of me multiple times, coming towards me with their mouths wide open, and I enjoyed watching their graceful swimming. It was a very satisfying experience and has become a wonderful memory. Thank you very much.

スタッフの方がとてもフレンドリーで楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。
ボートの上から綺麗な夕陽を見ることもでき、
マンタも、触れてしまうんじゃない？と思うほどの近さで見ることができ大興奮。
目の前で何度もクルクル回ったり、大きな口を開けて向かってきたり、優雅な泳ぎを見れて大満足の一時を過ごし、とても良い思い出となりました。
ありがとうございました。

It was tough with the rain and high waves. We managed to see dolphins, but it seemed like more people didn't get to see them. The staff was very good, so it would have been perfect if the weather had cooperated.
We were supposed to have lunch on the boat, but after the activity, we waited on land for about 30 minutes and received a McDonald's cheeseburger to eat. I was disappointed because I chose this place over a middle school specifically to enjoy lunch.

雨が降ってきたり、波が高かったりして大変でした。自分たちはなんとかイルカは見れましたが、見れない人のほうが多かったようです。スタッフはとても良かったので、天気に恵まれれば最高でした。
船上ランチのはずが、アクティビティ終了後に陸で30分ほど待ち、マックのチーズバーガーを一つもらい食べました。ランチを楽しみに中学ではなく大学を選んだので、がっかりしました。

It was rainy and cold, but when I saw the dolphins, I was so happy that I forgot about the cold. I highly recommend this tour!

雨が降って寒かったですが、イルカが見れた時は寒さも忘れるぐらい嬉しかったです。ぜひオススメのツアーです

The morning pickup was delayed beyond the scheduled time, and since the van was over capacity, we were told to wait for a taxi, which made me very anxious. The taxi was arranged by the tour company, but it arrived more than 30 minutes after the meeting time. However, we made it in time for the ship's departure.

We were fortunate with the weather, so during snorkeling at Molokini Island, we could see all the way to the bottom. The second planned spot, Keawalai, was changed due to poor weather, but we were still able to see two turtles there.

After snorkeling, they provided us with beer and other alcoholic beverages. We enjoyed those while returning to the port.

Even with many clouds, you can still get sunburned while swimming, so don't forget sunscreen for your back! The water temperature isn't very high, so I think it's better to have a wetsuit or something similar.

On the way back, you'll get on the van immediately after getting off the boat, so if you want to change, it's better to do so in the boat's restroom.

朝のピックアップが予定より遅い到着だったうえにバンが定員オーバーだからタクシー待つように言われ、とても不安でした。タクシーはツアー会社が手配してくれましたがタクシーがきたのは集合時間から30分以上経ってからでした。船の出発には間に合いました。

お天気には恵まれたのでモロキニ島でのシュノーケリングでは底の方まで見ることができました。
２箇所目に予定されていたケアワライは天候がよくないということで別のポイントになりましたが、そちらでも２匹のタートルをみることができました。

シュノーケリングが終わるとビールなどのアルコールを提供してくれます。それをいただきながら港に戻りました。

雲が多くても泳いでいる間に日に焼けするので背中への日焼け止めも忘れずに！
水温はそれほど高くないのでウエットなどがあった方がいいと思います。

帰りは船から降りたらすぐにバンに乗るので着替えたい方は船のトイレで済ませた方がよいです。

You don't need to worry about Japanese at all. Our guide, Takako, took care of everyone! She is the best guide I've ever had in the world. It was a fun day of snorkeling. She accurately pointed out the spot where we could see sea turtles. Meeting Takako on Maui was the highlight. I'm looking forward to seeing her again.

日本語の心配は、全くいりません。ガイドの(たかこ)さんが全ての人に気をかけてくださいます！今までのガイドさんで世界一の方です。
楽しいスノーケリングが出来た一日でした。
ウミガメのいる場所も、ピタリと当てられました。マウイ島で(たかこ)さんに会えたのが、最高でした。また、たかこさんに会えるのを楽しみにしております。

We participated as a couple in our 70s. Thanks to the energetic Japanese staff who provided attentive support to the Japanese participants, we had a wonderful snorkeling cruise. Thank you very much.

Upon boarding, we were served breakfast. Shortly after, the Japanese staff explained how to spend time on the boat and confirmed the schedule. This was very helpful for Japanese participants who do not understand English. Additionally, I have hearing difficulties, but the staff explained things in a loud and very clear voice, which made me feel at ease. The staff advised us that Japanese people should act proactively without feeling shy or reserved. Indeed, when we followed that advice, everything went smoothly. I truly appreciated their constant care throughout the trip.

The snorkeling set, fins, life jackets, inflatable rings, and noodles (foam sticks) were provided for free. They rented wetsuits for $10, but the water was surprisingly warm, and wearing a rash guard was sufficient, so I didn't need the wetsuit. Sunscreen was available for free, but it was quite thick and left a white residue.

We were told to wear fins, but since it was my first time using them, I initially didn't know how to move properly. However, I gradually got used to them and figured out the technique; extending my legs while imagining climbing stairs helped me move faster. However, there was no instruction on this, so it might be good to prepare in advance.

The water was very clear, and I was surprised to see even the spines of sea urchins. However, we didn't see colorful fish or sea turtles. There were also foreigners doing snuba diving at the bottom of the sea.

We snorkeled twice near Molokini and Maui, and lunch was provided in between. At the end, a cold beer (all-you-can-drink) was delicious after swimming and feeling tired.

Even for older participants, it was a safe and incredibly enjoyable experience! I highly recommend this tour!

As a reference, I took motion sickness medication, so I didn't get seasick, but those who did seemed to struggle quite a bit. There was no place to store valuables, which was a bit of a hassle, so it might be best to bring only the essentials (like tips).

日本人70代年配夫婦で参加しました。
日本人参加者に対して、元気の良い日本人スタッフさんが丁寧にサポートしてくれたおかげで、楽しいシュノーケリングクルーズになりました。ありがとうございました。
乗船すると、朝食付きが振舞われました。その後すぐに、日本人スタッフさんから船内での過ごし方の説明、スケジュールの確認がありました。英語が分からない日本人にはありがたかったです。また、私は耳が遠いのですが、大きく通るとても聞き取りやすい声で説明してくれたので、安心できました。日本人は積極的に恥ずかしがらず、遠慮せずに行動するようにとアドバイスしてくれました。確かにその通りに行動すると、何事もスムーズに進みました。終始、気にかけてくれたのは本当にありがたかったです。
シュノーケルセット、足ひれ、ライフジャケット、胴回りの浮き輪、ヌードル（発泡スチロールの棒）は無料です。ウエットスーツは10ドルで貸してくれましたが、海の中は以外と暖かくラッシュガードを着れば、ウエットスーツは必要ありませんでした。日焼け止めは無料で置いてありましたが、かなり白くなるタイプです。
足ひれは必ず装着するように言われましたが、初めて使うので、最初はどのように動かしていいか分からなかったですが、だんだん慣れてきてコツが分かり、腿上げをしながら階段を登るイメージで脚を伸ばすと、早く進むようになりました。ただ、このような指導はありませんので、事前に予習するといいかもしれません。
水の中は透明度が高く、ウニの針まで見れたのは驚きでした。ただ、カラフルな魚や海亀は見れませんでした。海の底に潜る、スヌーバをやってる外国人の方もいました。
シュノーケリングはモロキニ島と、マウイ島近くで2回行い、途中昼食が提供され、最後泳ぎ疲れた身体に、ビール（飲み放題）が美味しかったです。
年配でも安心して参加でき、最高に楽しい時間を過ごせました‼︎お勧めのツアーです‼︎
参考までに…酔い止めを飲んだおかげで、船酔いはしませんでしたが、酔ってる人はかなり辛そうでした。貴重品を預ける場所がなく、困りましたので、なるべく最小限（チップぐらい）にするといいかもしれません。

On the day of the event, it was cloudy with a north wind blowing, so I rented a free wetsuit. Since it was high tide, the water level in the sandbar area was up to my stomach, which was different from what I had seen in the guidebook, so I was a bit disappointed. Just as we were leaving, the weather finally improved, and at the very end, I was able to see the beautiful emerald green sea and encounter a sea turtle, so I rated it three stars.

参加当日は曇りで北風が吹いており寒かったため、無料のウェットスーツをレンタルしました。ちょうど満潮だったため、サンドバーのエリアも潮位はお腹の辺りまであり、ガイドブックで見たサンドバーとは異なっていたため、少しガッカリしました。帰り際にようやく天気が回復してきて、最後の最後でエメラルドグリーンに輝く綺麗な海が見られたのと、ウミガメに出会えたため、評価は星3つとしました。

My long-awaited first trip to Hawaii! I went in mid-April. The day before was unfortunately rainy, so I was worried about rain on the day of my trip, but fortunately, the weather held up until the end. I was able to see a pod of dolphins, sea turtles swimming along the ocean floor, and schools of small fish, which made for an incredibly moving experience in the crystal-clear waters.

As for advice for those who will be participating, I tend to handle the cold well, but if you are sensitive to cold, be sure to bring a larger towel and a jacket, as it can get chilly, especially with the wind while moving on the boat! Also, since mid-April is the end of the rainy season, I was able to take time off work when things were relatively calm to go to Hawaii. If I have the chance again, I would definitely like to go during the dry season next time.

念願の初ハワイ！
4月中旬に行きました。前日があいにく雨模様だったので、当日雨が降るのが心配でしたが、幸い天気も最後まで崩れる事なく、予定通り？イルカの群れにも海底を泳ぐウミガメにも小さい魚の群れにも会う事ができて透き通るようなきれいな海中もともなって感動の体験でした。
これから参加される方へのアドバイス？ですが、私は寒さには強い方なのですが、寒さに弱い方は、船で移動中は特に風が吹くと寒いので、大きめのタオルとジャケットなど寒さ対策は忘れないように！
あと4月中旬は雨季の終わりという事で、今回も仕事が比較的落ち着いた時にお休みをもらってハワイに行く事ができましたが、もし又機会があれば、今度は是非、乾季に行きたいと思っています。

I went directly to the meeting point by rental car. There is free parking next to the aquarium. Be careful as the parking near the dock is paid.

After checking in, you will line up for boarding. The earlier you line up, the better seats you can get. The popular choice is the outdoor seating on the second floor, but for those who are prone to seasickness or worried about sunburn from being outside for too long, I recommend the central seating on the first floor. You can easily grab food and drinks.

For breakfast, they served fruit, croissants, muffins, coffee, and passion fruit juice. It was delicious and not overly sweet.

After breakfast, there will be an explanation from the Japanese staff. They provide quite detailed information, so it's definitely worth listening to.

There are two snorkeling spots: one is Molokini Island, and the other is a rocky area near Maui Island. Both have high visibility and many fish. Each snorkeling session lasts for one hour, but honestly, it goes by in a flash. I recommend lining up at the front of the line as early as possible to go snorkeling sooner.

After the first spot, it's time for lunch. You can choose from cheeseburgers, hot dogs, and chicken burgers grilled on the boat, but I recommend the cheeseburger.

The second snorkeling session was near Maui Island, and again, the visibility was high with plenty of fish.

Finally, there was an all-you-can-drink option until just before the Maui craft beer arrived! Crispy cookies were also distributed, and they were delicious.

Overall, it was a very satisfying tour!

レンタカーで直接集合場所に行きました。無料駐車場は水族館脇にあります。船着場近くの駐車場は有料なので注意です。
受付した人から乗船のための列に並びます。なるべく早く並んだ方が、良い席が取れます。人気は二階外席ですが、酔いやすい人や、長く外にいると日焼けの心配がある人は、一階の中央席がお勧めです。食べ物や飲み物もすぐに取りに行けます。
朝食はフルーツ、クロワッサン、マフィン、コーヒー、パッションフルーツジュースが出ます。甘さ控え目で美味しかったです。
朝食の後、すぐに日本人スタッフさんから説明があります。かなり詳しく説明をしてくれるので、必ず聞いた方がいいです。
潜るポイントは二箇所、一つはモロキニ島、もう一つはマウイ島付近の岩場でした。どちらも透明度が高く、魚も沢山いました。一箇所につき、シュノーケリングする時間は1時間ですが、あっという間に終わってしまったというのが正直なところです。なるべく、早く列のはじめに並び早めに潜りに行くことをお勧めします。
一箇所目が終わると、昼食になります。船上で焼いてくれるチーズバーガー、ホットドック、チキンバーガーから選べますが、チーズバーガーがお勧めです。
二箇所はもうマウイ島のそばまで戻ってきてからのシュノーケリングでしたが、透明度高く、魚が沢山いました。
最後はマウイの地ビールが到着する少し前まで、飲み放題‼︎サクサクのクッキーも配られました‼︎これがまた美味しかったです。
全てにおいて大満足のツアーでした‼︎

< From Pickup to Arrival >

I was unsure about what to wear for departure, but since the only place to change was the restroom on the boat, I decided to wear my swimsuit underneath from the start and just put on a cover-up over it.

Upon arriving at the location by bus, there is a check-in process. There are Japanese check-in forms available, so filling them out is no problem. This is when you can finally talk to the Japanese staff.

Before and after departure, explanations are primarily given in English, but there will be individual explanations from the Japanese staff later, so if you don't understand English, you can just listen without worrying.

You should not leave your luggage on the bus; bring everything onto the boat. Just a voucher, towel, and a change of clothes for after snorkeling are sufficient.

< Motion Sickness Prevention >
The boat has a structure divided into the first and second floors. The second floor has a nice breeze, but it also sways more. The first floor sways less, so if you're worried about motion sickness, I definitely recommend staying on the first floor. I usually get very seasick, so I thought the second floor would feel better, but I was mistaken and felt a bit nauseous. Later, the guide told me that the first floor sways less, and as soon as I went down there, I felt much better and recovered. Being near the door on the first floor also provides a nice breeze.

< Snorkeling >
Snorkeling gear, floatation devices, and fins are provided for free. However, the wetsuit was not mentioned at the time of booking, and you need to pay $10 per person on-site. Most people did not wear one, and I swam without it without any issues.

The sea is very clear, and you can see the coral on the seabed, which is beautiful. There are many fish, but they are not very colorful, with only about four types. This may vary depending on the location and season.

Snorkeling takes place at two spots, and at the second spot, you can also see sea turtles. In April 2018, there was less sunshine than usual, and it was quite cloudy, so the water temperature was pretty cold.

< Meals >
Once on the boat, we have a simple buffet with bread and fruit, which everyone takes for their meal on board. After snorkeling, we eat hamburgers, which are cooked on-site and quite tasty.

< Returning Home >
Take your time on the bus. I recommend changing on the boat to avoid getting wet while riding.

You won't have any problems even if you don't understand English. Even if you're not confident in swimming, there are four types of floatation devices available, so you should be fine. The sea is beautiful, and I think it will make for great memories, so I highly recommend it!

< ピックアップから現地到着まで >
まずどういう服装で出発すればよいか迷いましたが
着替える場所は船内のトイレしかないため、行きは初めから水着を中に着て、上から上着を羽織っていきました。

バスで現地へ到着すると、受付が行われます。
日本語の受付用紙があるため、記入すれば問題ないです。
ここでようやく日本語スタッフと話ができます。

出発前、出発後も基本的に英語で説明がありますが
あとで日本語スタッフから個別に説明があるため
英語がわからない方は聞き流していて問題ないです。

荷物はバスには置かず、全て船内へ持ち込みます。
バウチャー、タオル、シュノーケル後の着替えがあればよいです。

＜船酔い対策 ＞
船は１Fと２Fにわかれた構成です。
２Fの方が風が気持ちいいですが、揺れも大きいです。
１Fの方が揺れが少ないため、船酔いが心配な方は確実に１Fがいいとおもいます。私は普段からものすごく船酔いをするほうなため２Fのほうが気持ちいいと思い行きましたが、当てがはずれて少し気持ち悪くなりました。あとからガイドの方に教えてもらいましたが１Fの方が揺れが小さいらしく１Fに行くとすぐに楽になり復活しました。１Fもドア付近にいると風も吹いて気持ちがよいです。

＜シュノーケリング＞
シュノーケリング、浮き具、足ひれは無料で手渡されます。
ただウェットスーツは申し込み時は記載がなかったのですが、有料でその場で１人１０ドルの支払いが必要です。ただ半分以上の人は着用しておらず、私もなしで泳ぎましたが問題ないです。

肝心の海はとても透明度が高く、海底には珊瑚が見えてとてもきれいです。ただ魚はたくさんいるのですが、色とりどりではなく４種類程度でした。これはポイント、時期によって変わるのかもしれません。

シュノーケリングは２箇所で行われ、２箇所目ではウミガメをみることもできます。２０１８年４月は例年より日差しは出ておらず、曇りがちだったため水温はかなり冷たかったです。

＜食事＞
まず船に乗ると、簡単なビュッフェ形式でパンとフルーツを１人ずつとって船内で食事をとります。
シュノーケリング後は、ハンバーガーを食べます、ハンバーグはその場で焼いているため割とおいしかったです。

＜帰宅＞
バスに乗ってゆっくり。
濡れたまま乗らないように、船内で着替えておくことをお勧めいたします。


英語がわからなくてもまったく問題ないです。
泳ぎに自信がなくても、浮き具が４種類もあるため、まず問題ないです。
海もきれいなため、いい思い出になるとおもいますのでお勧めいたします！

It felt like experiencing a movie on the same boat as foreigners! I even got to see dolphins! However, the waves were really strong, and the boat rocked a lot, so while I enjoyed it, those who are prone to motion sickness might find it tough!

外国の方とおんなじ船で映画の気分を味わってるようでした！イルカにも会えました！
ただ波がすごく船が大きく揺れるので私は楽しかったですが酔いやすい方はきついかもしれないです！

I did some research beforehand, and I decided to go because Captain Bruce can get you close to where the turtles are.

事前に調べての参加でしたが、キャプテンブルースが一番カメがいるあたりまで近くに行けるということで決めました。

This was one of my main reasons for visiting the Big Island and it most definitely did not disappoint!

The crew were fun and informative. The mantas were plentiful.
I didn't realize how close they came up to you.

So beautiful!

The arrangements were smooth. The pick-up and drop-off after arrival were also seamless, making it a great value and very convenient. I will definitely use this service again next time.

手配までもスムーズです。到着後もスムーズに送迎してもらえるので料金もお得で大変便利でした。次回もまた利用させて頂きます。

I wish the weather had been a bit better...
But snorkeling and sea turtle watching were both fun!

もう少しいいお天気だと良かったのですが。。。
でもシュノーケルも海ガメウォッチとも楽しかったです！

Until we boarded the boat, I was anxious about whether we would actually see the dolphins since they are wild. After preparing to enter the sea, we heard that there was a pod of dolphins, so we quickly jumped in and swam towards where the dolphins were. Some people were able to see them, but we couldn't see anything at all. I was tired and my legs felt heavy from the fins I was wearing for the first time, but we were encouraged by the tour guide's words, "Let's keep trying a little longer!" As we started swimming again, the dolphins began to swim towards us, and in no time, they were right in front of us. They quickly swam away, but then another pod came close, and I think we encountered about 100 dolphins and were able to swim with them. It was truly a wonderful experience, even better than I had imagined.

船に乗るまではイルカと泳ぐといっても 相手は野生なのでほんとに
見ることが出来るのか不安でした。
海に入る準備が出来てしばらくするとイルカの群れがいるとのことで
早速海に入りひたすらイルカのいる方を目指し泳ぎました。
でも 中には見れた人もいましたが 私達には全く見えなくて
初めて付けたフィンで足が重たく疲れてはいましたが
もう少し頑張りましょう！というツアーのおねーさんの言葉に励まされ
泳ぎだすと 今度はイルカ達がどんどん こちらに泳いで来て
あっという間に目の前をイルカ達が泳いでくれて すぐに行ってしまったけど
今度は別の群れが近くに来てくれて きっと100匹位のイルカに出会え
一緒に泳げたと思います。
想像以上に素敵な体験ができて本当に良かったです。

It was disappointing that the weather was cloudy, but the beach was emerald green and very beautiful. The optional bike rental allows you to visit Lanikai Beach and Kailua Town, providing a lot of freedom to enjoy the day without getting bored!

天気が曇りだったのは残念だけど、ビーチはエメラルドグリーンでとてもきれいでした。オプションのレンタサイクルでラニカイビーチやカイルアタウンにも行くことができるため自由度が高く1日飽きることなく楽しめます！

I was moved to see dolphins and sea turtles swimming right in front of me. It requires more physical strength than I expected, so I think it's a good idea for those who are not good at swimming to inform the guide in advance, as they can provide assistance.

目の前でイルカとウミガメが泳ぐ姿を見ることができて感動しました。思っていたよりも体力がいるので、泳ぎが苦手な人は事前にガイドさんへ申告した方が手助けしてくれるのでいいと思います。
