All Reviews for Snorkeling Cruises & Tours

It's understandable since they are living creatures, but I didn't get to see as much as I had hoped. However, it was adorable to see small fish gathering close enough to reach.

Also, the title "Swim with Wild Mantas!" suggests that you would be swimming alongside them, but in reality, it was more about hanging onto the board for 40 to 50 minutes, waiting patiently to see when they would come. The experience of being on the boat and enduring the cold until returning to port was also a test of endurance.

生き物なので仕方無いのでしょうが期待していたほど見れず、マンタ以外の小魚が手の届く処まで集まってきていたのが可愛かった。
またタイトルの「野生のマンタと泳ぐ！」は、いかにも一緒に泳ぐかのようですが、実際はボードにひたすら掴まって40～50分いつ来るかと期待しつつの忍耐力の修行、船に上がってから帰港するまでが寒さの修行でした。

We participated in this tour as a couple. The sight of many dolphins swimming in the sea was truly magical and moving. At the sea turtle spot, a turtle came right up to us, and we were so excited! We made sure not to touch it, so we carefully observed it instead. There were also many small fish, making it a truly satisfying tour. We will definitely join this tour again next time!

夫婦でこのツアーに参加しました。たくさんのイルカが海の中を泳ぐ姿は本当に幻想的で感動しました。ウミガメスポットでは目の前までウミガメが来てくれて大興奮！触ってはいけないので触れないよう気をつけながら観察しました。他にも小さな魚がたくさんいて本当に大満足のツアーでした。次も絶対このツアーに参加します！

I was lucky to see dolphins, turtles, and many beautiful fish. The guide was also interesting, making it a wonderful time!

運良くイルカ カメ クジラ たくさんの綺麗なお魚を見ることが出来ました
ガイドさんもおもしろくて素敵な時間になりました♪

Our guide was cheerful, efficient (this is important when getting novices into a wetsuit!), and informative. She asked us what we wanted to see, and when my daughter said turtles, she took us straight to two turtles after an introductory snorkel lesson. This was my second trip to Hawaii, and I was so glad I finally took a lesson. For the next week, I was able to finally relax, enjoy, and see a lot of interesting sea life. The snorkel at Haunama was spectacular also.

First, allow me to emphasize just how professional and engaged the divers, driver and the captain was on this experience. Seriously these guys were fantastic .. they were always attentive, showed understanding and you felt in very capable hands the whole time. This aspect was important to my wife as she had some very serious apprehensions about doing this ..but being a dutiful husband I badgered her until she agreed :-) .. took a few weeks.

The pre-trip meeting answered any questions we had and explained the workings of the submersible in terms of engaging the motor .. but nothing in regards to steering the vessel which i thought interesting.

We had a big group of approx 20 people so we just all fitted on the small boat. The seas were a little rough so a few people got a little woozy but nothing too bad.

My wife and I were one of the first to try out the scooters and the process to get in them was simple and effective .. no diving underwater to get in them .. this was a relief to my wife. We were in the water almost immediately and already could see fish in the distance. So we were very excited !

Here is where i was a little disappointed .. we had been trained to use foot pedals to engage the motor for the propellor but mine seemed to be a much older model and had the button on the steering column. No big deal i guess except i had an underwater camera with me and hence could not use it while the motor was engaged, which is approx 80% of the time. Consequently i was unable to take many photos .. disappointed.
I now understood why we were not taught the steering of the submersible ..you don't steer it ..there is a diver that holds onto 2 of the vessels the whole time and steers it. This was disappointing as i had no control on where to go.

In summary this was a FANTASTIC experience and again i want to emphasize how good the divers and crew were .. BUT it felt more like an amusement park ride than what the marketing suggests.

Thanks guys

I wasn't able to swim as well as I thought during my first snorkeling experience, but they taught me very kindly, and I was able to enjoy it.

Hanauma Bay was also very beautiful, and I am very satisfied.

The photos were really beautiful, and I took a lot of them. Since returning to Japan, I often reflect on the experience! Thank you very much.

はじめてのシュノーケルで、思ったよりも上手く泳げなかったのですが、とても優しく教えて下さり、楽しむ事ができました。

ハナウマ湾もとても素敵で、とても満足しています。

写真もとても綺麗で沢山とっていただいて、日本に帰ってきてからも、よく思い返してみています！ありがとうございました。

This is an excellent company to tour with. The weather could have been better, but that is out of their control. They were very friendly and professional, and the boat was clean and fun. Would consider them again, snorkeling was okay, I've had better and worse.

Since I was planning to go to the North Shore in the afternoon, I chose this plan without a shuttle service. I arrived by rental car, and although there was no bench at the meeting point "Deli," the local staff were accommodating, so it wasn't a problem. I was worried about whether the tour would proceed due to the rain in the morning, but we only experienced a delay in preparation because of the rain, and we departed 15 minutes later with two boats. Everyone was Japanese, and it seemed that many participants were those who had taken the shuttle from Waikiki. Perhaps there was a Japanese-speaking guide. Despite the rain getting stronger at times, I didn't feel seasick, and we were able to see both sea turtles and manta rays. The water at Sandbar was about knee-deep, but I was very satisfied that we could land there. I didn't have high expectations for snorkeling, but there were life jackets available, so it was completely fine even if you couldn't swim. There were about 40 people swimming in lines along the coral reef, and since the time was limited and we swam the same route back and forth, it was crowded. My child was more concerned about bumping into the feet of the person in front or hitting the coral rather than looking at the fish, so it might have been better to wait on the boat. The participants were obedient to the instructions of the two Japanese female staff members, but one was kind while the other couldn't hide her condescending attitude. At the very beginning, when assigning guests to the boats, it seemed they didn't grasp the number of people who weren't participating via the shuttle bus, or perhaps their Japanese was actually limited. They acted arrogantly as if there were customers boarding without permission after exceeding the boarding limit, and after a debate about what was said, one of them yelled in Japanese, "Isn't it enough to just apologize?!" and then continued to assert herself in English towards her busy colleague, treating us as if we were completely at fault, which made for a rather strange experience in Hawaii. If there were English speakers present, that behavior wouldn't have happened. However, I have great respect for the local staff who worked hard without showing any displeasure in the rain. It seems there are no showers at the port, so I think it's better to prepare to return in wet swimsuits with towels and warm clothing. You can leave your belongings on the boat, but since there are no waterproof bags, it's also good to prepare for that.

午後にノースショアへ行く予定だったので、送迎ナシでこのプランを選びました。レンタカーで到着し、集合場所の「Deli」のベンチはなかったですが、現地のスタッフが対応してくれて問題なかったです。朝から雨で催行されるのか不安でしたが、雨で準備が遅れただけで二船で１５分後に出航しました。全員日本人で、ワイキキからの送迎による参加の方が多かったようです。もしかしたら日本語ガイド付きだったのかもしれません。ときおり強くなる雨の中、酔う事もなく、ウミガメもマンタも見られて、サンズバーは膝ぐらいでしたが、上陸出来て大満足です。シュノーケリングはあまり期待してなかったのですが、ライフジャケットがあり、泳げなくても全然大丈夫です。４０人ぐらいでサンゴ礁に沿って数列で泳ぐ形でしたし、時間も限られ往復同じ経路を泳ぐため混みこみで、前の人の足があたるか、サンゴに足が当たるかに気をとられ、魚を見るよりそちらを気にして子供は怖がっていました。船で待っていても良かったかもしれません。参加者の皆さん、素直に二人いる日本人？女性スタッフの言うことに従っておられましたが、一人は親切、一人は上からな態度が隠せないスタッフでした。最初どちらの船に客を割り振るかの時点で、送迎バスで参加していない人の人数を把握していないのか、日本語が実は不自由なのか、乗船制限を超えて割り振った挙句、勝手に乗り込んでいる客がいるかのように横柄に振る舞い、言った言わないの水かけ論の後、謝ればいいんでしょ！と日本語でわめき、その後も忙しく準備している同僚に対し英語で自己主張し、こちらに全部非があって、完全に変な客扱い・発言で、ハワイに来て違った意味で興味深い体験でした。英語圏の人がいたらあの振る舞いはないでしょうね。でも雨の中嫌な顔一つ見せず頑張っていた現地スタッフの方たちの働きには頭が下がりました。港にはシャワーがない様子なので、タオルや防寒具など濡れた水着のまま帰る準備をしておいた方が良いと思います。荷物は船に残しておけますが、防水バッグ等はないのでそちらの準備もしておくと良いです。

I definitely want to participate again! It was great to see dolphins and turtles up close. The instructors were all fun, and I enjoyed the travel time as well. This became my favorite memory from my 7-day trip to Hawaii, and I want to recommend it to my friends and participate again.

After snorkeling, I had a great time playing on the slide and dancing with the staff. Everything was wonderful. The day I went was sunny, but it got a bit chilly when I was in the shade after coming out of the water. Since it was an early morning tour, I still had time to play in the ocean afterward. The photo and video sales were about 10,000 yen for one family. They also sold trainer T-shirts on the bus. Thank you to the staff for a fun half-day!

‼️とにかく 又参加したい‼️
間近でイルカ 亀に会えて とても良かったです。
インストラクターの皆さんも楽しい方ばかりで移動時間も楽しめました。今回のHawaii5泊7日の中で1番の楽しい思い出になり 友達にもススメたいし 又 もう一度参加したいです。
シュノーケリング後 滑り台で遊んだりする時間
スタッフさんとダンスする時間 全部良かったです。僕が行った日は晴れていたのですが 海から上がって陰に居たら寒かったです。朝早くのツアーなので 帰ってからも海で遊ぶ時間ありました。写真・ビデオ販売が希望者には1家族で1万円程でした。トレーナー Tシャツ販売 バス内であります。楽しい半日スタッフさんありがとうございました。

Such a great trip seeing the dolphins and another stop that was likes swimming in an aquarium! Thank you for a great day!

Not like other cheaper speed boats, it was a smooth sailing catamaran. Even a pregnant woman was on the board. They offer a breakfast such as 3 kinds of bread, fruits and drinks. For lunch, I enjoyed make-my-own delicious sandwiches and chips. After snorkeling, they offered some cookies and hot drinks. Most of all, the staffs was so cheerful and helpful. On the way to the snorkeling spot, captain Morgan caught a huge ono. I specially want to thank Joey for teaching me how to snorkel. Thanks to her, I could enjoy the beautiful underwater. She made my day!
I highly recommand this fun trip to everyone.
Choose this tour with well-trained staffs.
This is the best tour ever!!!

I was worried about oversleeping with an early departure, but they even gave me a morning call. During the boat ride to where the dolphins were, our Japanese guide, Miu, and the crew were all cheerful and made it enjoyable. The dolphins swam close by, and we also got to see turtles up close!

The sea water was a bit cold, but the weather was nice, so I was able to enjoy snorkeling, the slide, and paddleboarding comfortably. The hamburger was delicious too!

I made the best memories on the last day of my stay in Hawaii. I'm really glad I participated!!!

朝早くの出発で寝坊しなかと心配でしたが、モーニングコールの電話もして頂けました。ボートに乗ってからイルカのいるところまでの移動では日本人ガイドのみうさんはじめ、クルーの方がみんな明るく盛り上げてくれ楽しめました。イルカも近くで沢山泳いでくれ、カメも近くで見れました！！
海の水は少し冷たかったけど、お天気もよかったのでシュノーケリングや滑り台やパドルも気持ちよく楽しめました。ハンバーガーも美味しかったです～
ハワイ滞在最終日で一番いい思い出ができました。参加してほんとによかったです！！！

We enjoyed the snorkel tour so very much! Our tour guide was Dan and he was very methodical through the whole process of making us comfortable in water and a short lesson for the boys. They had a whale of time snorkeling the Hanauma bay! Thank you!

I believe the place where I watched the Japanese video before getting on the boat was near Kakaako.

The reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that while they take photos for you, I thought it was a bit expensive, so I gave it 4 stars (I don't remember the price ^^;).

Since there is food for the fish on the scooter, they came swimming around a lot, which was really fun!! You can also eat plenty of snacks!

Unlike diving, even those who can't swim can easily participate. However, this means there are fewer activity elements. When I went diving at another place, they provided thorough instructions on equalizing, but here the video only said, "If your ears hurt, please equalize," so I felt that some people might struggle with that.

恐らく、ボートや乗る前の日本語ビデオを見た場所はカカアコ付近だったと思います。

最初に星5ではない理由ですが、写真を撮ってくれるのですが、高いなぁと思ったので星4つにしました(値段は覚えてないです^^;)。

スクーターにエサが付いているので、魚が凄い寄ってきて楽しかったです！！スナックもいっぱい食べれます！

ダイビングと違い、泳げない人でも簡単に乗ることが出来ます。その分、アクティビティ要素は少ないです。
ですが、他の場所でダイビングをした時は、耳抜きの説明を入念にされたましたが、こちらはビデオで「耳が痛ければ耳抜きをして下さい」程度の説明だけなので、出来ない人もいるんじゃないかな？と感じました。

It wasn't what I expected, and I was a bit disappointed. I felt that it wasn't worth the participation fee. The weather was bad, and it was too cold to even get into the water without shivering, so there was no way I could go snorkeling. I also couldn't see the scenery that looks so beautiful in photos.

思っていた感じではなく
少しがっかりでした。
この参加費を払って行くほどの価値はないけなと感じました。
天気が悪かったのもありますが寒すぎて海に入るのも震えながらで、とてもじゃないけどシュノーケリングできる状態ではありませんでした。写真で見るような景色もみれませんでした。

We took our 9 year old son on this and had a great time. Wahine Charters and staff were great. Smaller group (12 total) made the experience that much better. Highly recommended. Really an experience unlike any other.

I participated in multiple dolphin swim tours over consecutive days, and it's no surprise that this tour is ranked number one in popularity.

At first, during the dolphin snorkeling, I ended up at the back of the group and, unfortunately, I only caught a brief glimpse of the dolphins. However, when I honestly mentioned this while confirming whether I had seen any dolphins, they offered a second try for those who wanted it. Although the dolphins didn't come very close during that attempt, I was already satisfied just to have the opportunity. To my surprise, they changed the location and gave me a few more minutes for a third try, and I was finally able to see the dolphins swimming.

I could really feel their strong belief that "if there are dolphins there, we will definitely show them to everyone."

After the activity, the cheeseburgers grilled by the captain on the boat are absolutely delicious. If you can't eat them on the spot, you can take them home, but the freshly made ones are truly tasty.

Hawaii tends to have strong winds, and the boat sways more compared to Kerama and Ishigaki Islands. Considering the time difference and climate changes, my body felt more fatigued than expected, so even those who are usually fine with motion sickness might want to take some anti-nausea medication just in case (the placebo effect shouldn't be underestimated). On the day of the tour, just over 10% of the participants experienced motion sickness.

Also, I strongly recommend bringing the items listed outside the voucher section. Personally, I think a wetsuit rental, two bath towels, a change of clothes, anti-nausea medication, water (to take the medication before boarding), and cash are essential. Since there are places where you might get splashed, it's a good idea to take precautions to keep your belongings dry.

I wrote a lot, but I had a very enjoyable and extraordinary experience. If I have the chance to participate in another dolphin swim tour, I will definitely choose this tour again.

連日複数のイルカスイムツアーに参加しましたが、ツアー人気No.1というのは当然だと思います。
はじめイルカスノーケリングでは最後尾についたため、運悪く私だけがイルカの影をちらっと見た程度だったのですが、イルカが見れたかどうかの確認で正直に話したらさらに希望者だけのセカンドトライを行ってくれました。そのときはイルカはあまり近くに来てくれなかったのですが、そこまで行っていただいただけでも満足していました。と思いきやさらにポイントを変えて私だけ数分間サードトライをしてもらい、最終的にイルカが泳ぐ姿を見ることができました。
天候の都合等もあるかと思いますが、「そこにイルカがいるなら絶対に全員に見せるんだ」という強い信念をひしひしと感じました。
運動後、船長が船上で焼いてつくるチーズバーガーは絶品です。その場で食べれない方は持って帰れますが、熱々の出来立ては本当においしいです。
ハワイは風が強く、船の揺れも慶良間や石垣島と比べて大きくなる印象です。時差や気候の違いも含めて身体が予想以上に疲れているので、船酔いに強い人も念のために酔い止めを飲まれた方がいいかもしれません（プラシーボ効果も侮れません）。当日は１割強の人が船酔いで体調を崩していました。
あとバウチャー欄外に記載のおすすめの持ち物は本当に持って行った方がいいと感じました。個人的には、ウェットスーツレンタル、バスタオル２枚、着替え、酔い止め、水（船に乗る前に酔い止めを飲むため）、現金、が必須だと思います。場所によっては水がかかるので、荷物の中身が濡れないような工夫はしておいた方がいいです。
長々と記載しましたが、とても楽しく、非日常的な時間を過ごすことができました。またイルカスイムツアーに参加する機会があるなら、間違いなくこのツアーを選びます。

I searched for Hawaii OP and decided on VELTRA after reading various reviews. From the reservation stage, I felt well taken care of, and I was glad I chose VELTRA.

The morning meeting was quite early, but they provided a wake-up call, and the staff member Miyu was very pleasant and guided us throughout the day.

As for the tour itself, all the staff provided a wonderful Hawaiian hospitality experience, which was fantastic. Of course, we were thrilled to see dolphins and honu ❤️ My husband jumped into the sea and within five minutes, he cramped up in both legs and had to signal for help, and the staff came to his rescue. They were lifesavers. The weather was perfect, but the seawater was a bit cold, and since the bus had air conditioning on the way to and from the site, I think a jacket is necessary. For lunch, snacks like pineapple and hamburgers were provided, but if you're a big eater, I recommend bringing some light snacks besides bananas. I'm really glad I participated.

Hawaii OPを探して あちこちの口コミを見て読んでVELTRAさんに決めました。予約の段階から気持ちの良い対応をして頂き VELTRAさんに決めて良かったと感じました。
朝の集合かなり早かったですがモーニングコールもしてもらい スタッフさんの未優ちゃんが とても気持ち良く 1日を案内してくれました。
肝心なツアーですが スタッフの皆さん とてもハワイアンなおもてなしで 最高でした。勿論 イルカ・ホヌも見れて感激❤️ 夫が海へ飛び込み5分で両脚がツリ すぐにリタイアサインを送り スタッフさんに助けてもらいました。命の恩人です お天気は最高に良かったですが 海水少し冷たく行き帰りのバスは冷房が効いているので上着は必要だと思います。ランチにスナック パイナップル ハンバーガーが出ますが大食いな方はバナナ以外の軽食持参した方がよろしいかと…。参加して良かったです。

I read the reviews here and made a reservation.

I stayed at the Sheraton Hotel. Around noon, I stopped by a shopping center just a 5-minute drive away and checked in at the store. When I arrived at the designated location at 5:45 PM, I was explained in English that I should ask about the car that was parked there. Honestly, I didn't understand what they were saying, but I somehow got the gist through gestures.

When I arrived at the designated spot around 5:30 PM with the rental car, the same car was parked there, and they were handing out wetsuits in the parking lot. You try it on right away, and if it doesn’t fit, you can exchange it. So, you need to wear your swimsuit before going. The parking lot at the harbor is small, so we barely managed to park, but those who couldn't park had to leave their cars at the edge of the road.

I was told to put on the wetsuit and wait on the boat. On the boat, you can have snacks and fruits, but honestly, while waiting for the sun to set, I felt seasick from the waves and couldn't enjoy it. They also serve cold juice if you ask. There was a restroom on the boat. I was told that warm drinks would be served last because it gets cold after you warm up and then enter the water.

To enter the water, I was instructed to hook a noodle (a float) around my ankle and enter horizontally. I only understood a little English, but by watching gestures and other guests, I managed to figure it out. We were the only Japanese people there.

When we finally turned on the lights and entered the sea, a manta ray swam right past me the moment I got in. You’re not supposed to touch the manta rays, but they were gracefully swimming close by, feeding on the surface. I was truly amazed to see them up close. In total, about five manta rays swam nearby. While I was watching one manta ray on my right, I almost collided with another one that approached from the left without me noticing. Watching the manta rays swim elegantly in front of me made me forget about my seasickness.

I was in the water for about 45 minutes, and I only missed seeing manta rays for about 5 minutes. However, it was late March, and it was incredibly cold; my hands were numb during the last 10 minutes. Just floating in the water made the cold and seasickness tough to handle. I was wearing a wetsuit over my rash guard and swimsuit leggings, so I only felt cold towards the end, but my husband was just in a swimsuit and a short-sleeved wetsuit, and he seemed to be shivering uncontrollably after just 10 minutes.

When the time was up, we got back on the boat and had some snacks and warm drinks. They served cocoa, but since I was feeling very seasick, I opted for warm green tea. Once I dried off on the boat, I felt much warmer and better. We returned the snorkels and wetsuits on the boat, and when we arrived at the harbor, we just dispersed.

I think if you come to the Big Island, you absolutely should go on this tour. I believe it’s fine even if you don’t speak English, but for those who are anxious, a Japanese tour might be more reassuring. We thought since we came all the way to Hawaii, we should sign up for this tour, and I’m glad we did.

As advice, it would be great to have a waterproof camera and an underwater flashlight.

ここで口コミを見て、予約しました。

シェラトンホテルに泊まっていました。そこから車で5分のショッピングセンターに寄ったお昼ごろに、お店に立ち寄りチェックインをしました。夕方5：45に指定の場所に来たら、この車が止まっているからたずねてね、というようなことを英語で説明されました。正直、何を話しているかわからなかったですが、何となく身振り手振りで伝わりました。

レンタカーで、指定の場所に5：30ごろに行くと、先ほどの車が止まっていて、ウェットスーツの貸し出しを駐車場で行っていました。すぐに着てみて、無理そうだったらサイズ交換といった感じですので、水着は着用してから行く必要があります。港の駐車場は狭いので、私たちはぎりぎり駐車できましたが、駐車できなかった人は、路上の端に駐車していました。

ウェットスーツを着て、船上で待つように言われました。船上では、スナック菓子やフルーツが食べられますが、正直、日が沈むまで待つ時間、波に揺られ酔ってしまい、それどころではありませんでした。つめたいジュースなども頼めば出してくれます。トイレも船の中にありました。
暖かい飲み物は、身体が温まってから水に入ると寒いから、最後に出されるといった説明がありました。
入り方は、ヌードルと言われるウキを足首にひっかけて、身体を水平にして入るようにと言われました。何となくしか英語がわかりませんでしたが、身振り手振りや、他のお客さんを見ているとわかります。日本人は私たちだけでした。

いざ、ライトをつけて海に入りました。入った瞬間から、目の前をマンタが通り過ぎました。マンタにさわってはいけませんが、本当にすれすれのところをくるくるとまわって餌を食べていました。こんなに間近で見られるなんて、本当に感動しました。
結局5匹ほどのマンタが近くで泳いでいました。右で泳いでいるマンタを見ていると、左から迫ってきたマンタに気づかず、思わずぶつかりそうになりました。目の前で優雅に泳ぐマンタたちを見ていると、船酔いも忘れてしまいました。
４５分ほど入水していますが、マンタが見られなかった時間は5分ほどだけでした。ただ、3月下旬でしたが、ものすごく寒くて、最後の10分ほどは手がかじかんで、感覚がなくなっていました。
浮いているだけなので、寒さと船酔いはつらかったです。
ただ、私はラッシュガードと水着のレギンスの上からウェットスーツを着ていたからか、最後のほうだけ寒さがつらかったですが、旦那は水着にウェットスーツ(全て半そで半ズボン丈)だけだったので開始10分後から震えが止まらないようでした。

時間が来たので船に上がり、スナック菓子や暖かい飲み物をいただきました。ココアが配られましたが、私は船酔いがひどかったので暖かい緑茶をいただきました。船上で体を乾かすと、だいぶ温まり気分がよくなりました。船上でシュノーケルとウェットスーツを返し、港についたら、そのまま流れ解散です。

ハワイ島に来たら、絶対にこのツアーに行くべきだと思いました。英語ができなくても、問題ないと思いますが、不安な方は日本語のツアーの方が安心かなと思いました。わたしたちはせっかくハワイに来たのだから、と思いこのツアーに申し込みました。ここにしてよかったと思います。

アドバイスとしては、水の中でとれるカメラと水中の懐中電灯があるといいです。

A Professional diver was assigned to each individual which was reassuring. A sea turtle was by us practically the whole time. Our diver caught an small octopus a let us touch it. The photos and video also was worth buying as many friends at work have enjoyed watching it and would like to try this someday!

I participated with my 5-year-old son and family.

I was worried about seasickness, but we arrived at the sandbar in about 10 to 15 minutes. During that time, we enjoyed freshly made malasadas, and by the time my son was engrossed in eating, we had reached the sandbar.

The guide staff were friendly, and we had a great time. They paid special attention to the children, engaging with them and playing together, which made the experience even more enjoyable.

We were able to take many photos at the sandbar.

We split into groups for snorkeling and playing at the sandbar, and we chose to stay at the sandbar.

During that time, we were lent floaties and paddleboards, allowing us to have fun and take many photos that captured the essence of Hawaii.

The lunch buffet was also very delicious.

This is a tour I would like to join again if I have the opportunity.

On the way back, we rode the bus in our swimsuits, but there were towels on the seats, so there was no discomfort at all.

5歳の息子と家族で参加しました。

船酔いも心配しましたが、サンドバーまで10分か15分くらいで到着。
その間出来立てのマラサダを頂いて、息子は夢中で食べてる間にサンドバー到着。

ガイドのスタッフの方も気さくで楽しく過ごせました。
子供を特に気にして頂いて、たくさん声を掛けてもらったり、一緒に遊んでもらってずーっと楽しく過ごせました。

サンドバーで写真もたくさん撮ってもらえました。

シュノーケリングするグループと、サンドバーで遊ぶグループに分かれて、私達はサンドバーに残りました。

その間、浮き輪やパドルボートなどを貸して頂いて、楽しく遊べてハワイらしい写真もたくさん撮れました。

ランチバイキングもすごく美味しかったです。

また行く機会があれば参加したいツアーです。

帰りのバスは水着のまま乗りますが、シートにはバスタオルがひかれていて、不快感はまったくなかったです。

It was my first time at the sandbar, and the guide provided thorough explanations, making it a very enjoyable experience. I was also lucky enough to swim with a sea turtle! The timing and weather weren't great, and the water was up to my thighs, so I would like to go again in the summer!

初めてのサンドバーですが、ガイドの方も色々丁寧に説明して下さりとても楽しめましたし、運良くウミガメと泳ぐこともできました！時期と天候があまりよくなく太ももあたりまで海水があったので今度は夏に行きたいと思います！

The staff also played with us, and although we didn't leave the sandy area, we had plenty of fun. The burger meat at lunch was the most delicious I had among all the food I tried in Hawaii. During snorkeling, we saw a turtle among the corals, which scared the kids, but it was an impressive experience.

スタッフの方々も一緒に遊んでくれて砂地は出て行かなくだけどたっぷり遊べました。
特にお昼のバーガーのお肉がハワイで色々食べた中で一番美味しかったです。
シュノーケリング中にもサンゴの中から亀がいて子供達は怖がってたけど感動しました。

Unfortunately, the weather was cloudy and cold on the day of the tour, which made the conditions less than ideal, but I thought the tour itself was very good. I can only imagine how much fun it would have been if it had been sunny!

Despite the weather bringing everyone's spirits down a bit, our guide Yuki's bright enthusiasm really lifted the mood. She was amazing. Looking back, I have nothing but good memories. I realized how much the experience can change depending on the staff. (The day before, on a tour with another company, both the weather and the guide were quite gloomy and terrible.)

The travel time, time to play at the sandbar, time to observe sea turtles, and time for snorkeling were all perfectly balanced, making it a tour that never got boring. I would definitely like to participate again.

The air conditioning on the bus to the destination was freezing, but the driver didn't turn it off. I hope this can be improved. On the way back, thanks to Yuki's help, it was comfortable. Thank you.

残念ながら当日は曇天で寒くて、条件は悪かったのですが、このツアー自体はとてもいいと思いました。晴れていたらどんなに楽しかったことか！
天気のせいで皆のテンションも下がり気味だったのに、ガイド役のyukiさんの明るい頑張りで、盛り上げてもらえました。すごい力量です。帰ってきてみればよい思い出ばかりです。スタッフさん次第で、ずいぶん変わるものだと思いました。（前日別の会社のツアーは、天気と一緒にガイドも曇り顔でひどかったです）
移動時間、サンドバーで遊ぶ時間、ウミガメを観察する時間、シュノーケルをする時間、どれもちょうどよく、飽きないツアーでした。また是非参加したいです。
行きのバスのエアコンが死ぬほど寒かったのに、ドライバーさんはオフにしてくれませんでした。改善してほしいです。帰りは、yukisanの口添えのおかげか快適でした。ありがとう。

My family and I had a great time. We enjoyed the privacy and Chad and Kevin were great. It was a beautiful day. We explored, SUP, kayaked and floated. The only suggestion is that the details of where to meet need to be more explained.

We participated as a family of three with our son who just turned 7! The guide took great care of our son, and we were able to see a large group of dolphins and even manta rays up close! For our son, who loves the ocean and marine life, it was a precious experience that he will never forget. It was a wonderful time where we could truly experience the deep charm of the Big Island of Hawaii. Thank you very much!

7歳になったばかりの息子と、家族3人で参加しました！ガイドの方に、息子を手厚くフォローして頂き、イルカの大群やマンタまで、間近で見ることができました！海や生き物が大好きな息子にとって、生涯忘れられない貴重な体験ができました。ハワイ島の奥深い魅力を体感できた素晴らしい時間でした。本当にありがとうございございました。

Snorkeling in the beautiful, sunny sea was a lot of fun. I was able to see three turtles, and both breakfast and lunch were delicious. Our Japanese guide, KANA, was very kind and made it a wonderful memory.

When we said goodbye on the boat, I regretted not being able to give a tip afterward. If I have the chance to meet her again next time, I would definitely like to express my gratitude.

晴れてきれいな海でのシュノーケリングはとても楽しかったです。カメも3匹も見れたし、朝食も昼食もおいしかったです。日本人ガイドのKANAさんもとても親切に案内してくださってとてもよい思い出になりました。
帰り船内でお別れしたのですが、そのあとチップをお渡しできなくて申し訳ないことをしたのが心残りでした。
次回もしお会い出来たら、ぜひお礼したいです。

The clouds were out, and the sea's transparency could have been a bit better, but the staff were cheerful and we had a great time. We played beach volleyball at the sandbar, and they taught us various photo poses and took lots of pictures, creating many wonderful memories! The hamburgers for lunch were very filling and delicious. My son was so satisfied that he even asked for a second helping. My daughter had an amazing experience when a sea turtle suddenly swam right in front of her while snorkeling, and I missed it, which I find quite envious. Thank you very much!

雲がでていて、海の透明度はもう少しでしたが、とにかくスタッフの皆さんが明るくて、楽しかったです。
サンドバーでビーチバレーをしたり、写真のポーズを色々教えてくれて撮ってくれて沢山の思い出をもらいました！ランチのハンバーガーは、とてもボリュームがあり美味しかったです。息子はなんとおかわりまてして大満足でした。
娘はシュノーケリングの際、突然目の前をウミガメが横切り最高だったようで、私は間に合わず羨ましい限りです。ありがとうございました！

On the day of the trip, the wind was strong, so we couldn't go to Molokini Island. However, instead, we visited two other locations and were able to see turtles.

At the snorkeling spots, the waves were small despite the wind, so there were no issues. The staff members were very friendly, and there was no need to worry even for beginners. Meals were prepared for both breakfast and lunch, and for lunch, we made our own burgers by choosing our own toppings.

I would like to use their services again when I come to Maui.

当日、風が強くモロキニ島へは行くことができませんでした。しかし、代わりに他の場所を二箇所回って頂き、タートルも見ることが出来ました。
シュノーケルスポットでは風の割に波は小さく、問題ありませんでした。スタッフの方々もとても親切で、初心者でも何の心配もありませんでした。食事も朝、昼と準備され、お昼はハンバーガーを自分たちで具を選んで作ります。
また、マウイに来た際はお世話になりたいと思います。

I was happy to see manta rays up close. I got seasick on the boat ride to the manta viewing point and had to give up and return to the boat while watching the manta rays. However, the manta rays were adorable, and the guide was very kind and informative. It was very cold on the return boat ride since it was nighttime.

マンタを身近に見れて幸せでした。
マンタを見れるポイントまで船での移動で船酔いしてしまい、マンタを見てる途中でギブアップで船に戻りました。
でもマンタは可愛く、ガイドの方もとても丁寧に教えてくださいました。
夜なので、帰りの船はとても寒かったです。
