The sea was a beautiful, clear blue with a very high level of transparency. With its depth, I was able to enjoy the stunning ocean and the fish that spread out before my eyes.

青く透き通った大変透明度の高い海でした。海の深さもあり、視界に広がる美しい海と魚たちを堪能できました。

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＞

I was healed by the dolphins~ イルカに癒された～

Reviewed by: Yママ

We participated with our 3-year-old child. Meeting at the hotel at 5:30 AM was quite tough for both the child and the parents. I thought we could sleep on the bus, but it was hard to get any rest, and my husband was a bit worn out by the time we arrived.

I was worried that the boat would be like a rubber dinghy based on past photos, but I was relieved to find out it had been upgraded to a large boat (with a restroom)! Once we boarded, we encountered a pod of dolphins within about 10 minutes. My husband and I took turns snorkeling while our child enjoyed watching the dolphins jump and sea turtles from the boat.

When we reached the snorkeling point, my daughter (3 years old) expressed a desire to dive into the sea, so I told her we could go in together. I was very grateful that a guide stayed right by our side the entire time we were in the water.

The guides and photographers were all very energetic, and at first, I was worried about keeping up with their enthusiasm. However, they paid close attention to the participants and provided excellent care, which made me feel reassured.

On our way back to the harbor, we were delighted to see flying fish in front of the boat and spotted sea turtles multiple times, which made us very happy. More than anything, I never knew swimming with dolphins could be so healing!

Since my daughter is still only 3 years old and couldn't snorkel, we couldn't dive together, but I definitely want to participate again when she is old enough to snorkel.

3歳の子連れで参加しました。　朝5時30分ホテル集合が子供も親もかなりきつかった。。。バスの中でも寝れるかと思いきや、なかなか寝かせてもらえず主人は到着までにちょっとばててました。　
船は過去の写真からゴムボートのような船かと思い心配していましたが、大きな船にグレードアップしたとの事で、実際大きな船で安心（トイレ付）！
船に乗ると10分ほどでイルカの群れにすぐに出会え、夫婦で交代でシュノーケルに参加し子供は船の上からイルカのジャンプやウミガメなどを見て楽しんでいました。
その後シュノーケルポイントに行った時、娘（3歳）も海に潜りたいというので一緒に海に入ることを伝えると、入っている間ガイドの方が一人ずっとそばについていてくれとてもありがたかったです。
ガイドさん、カメラマンさん皆様かなり元気で、最初はそのテンションについていけるか心配だったのですが参加者の方々をよく見ていて、ケアもしっかりしていて安心できました。
帰港する際にもトビウオが船の前を飛んでいたりホヌも何度も見れ幸せな気持ちになりましたが、なによりもイルカと泳ぐのがこんなに癒されるとは知りませんでした！　
娘はまだ3歳なのでシュノーケルができず一緒に潜れなかったのですが、シュノーケルができる年齢になったらぜひまた参加したいと思っています。

However, I stayed at the Sheraton and they came to pick me up, but there were no detailed instructions provided. I was waiting at the main entrance, but it turned out to be the wrong place. It would be best if there were clearer information available.

The best memories. 最高の思い出

Reviewed by: m.t

This was my first time participating in this tour, and I chose to go directly to the meeting place on my own, but I wasn't quite sure where to go and ended up asking someone for directions to finally arrive. I felt that arranging for a pickup would have been smoother and more reassuring.

The tour guide, Torichan, was a wonderful person, which made the experience even more enjoyable.

The manta rays were very large, and seeing them swim right in front of me was breathtaking. They came so close that their bellies almost touched mine. They were much bigger than I had imagined, but I felt no fear at all. I was just so excited. Their adorable faces and the way they swam gracefully were incredibly soothing, and it was truly an emotional experience.

If you're going to the Big Island, I highly recommend participating in this tour. You'll feel the rich nature up close, and the interaction with the manta rays will undoubtedly become a wonderful memory that you'll cherish for a lifetime.

このツアーの参加は初めてで
個人で直接集合場所に向かうプランにしましたがいまいち分からず人に教えてもらいながらなんとか到着。

I had always dreamed of swimming with dolphins, so I was really looking forward to this tour! The morning was very early, so I was a bit sleepy (laughs), but our guide, Julie, was full of energy and really entertaining.

We spotted the dolphins about five minutes after getting on the boat! I heard that sometimes it can take hours to find them, so we were lucky. I was very satisfied to see so many dolphins!

I was also happy to see a turtle during the snorkeling afterward!

I would love to join again when I come back to Oahu!

Just one thing... if I could share my opinion, the photo prices are a bit high, so I think it would be easier to buy them if they were a bit more affordable!

イルカと一緒に泳ぐのが夢だったのでとても楽しみにして、こちらのツアーに参加しました☆朝がとっても早かったので…眠かったですけど(笑)案内してくれたジュリーさんがとっても元気でテンション高くて面白かったです｡

船に乗って五分ぐらいでイルカ先生を発見!！見つからない時は何時間も探すみたいなので、運が良かったみたい。
沢山のイルカちゃんが見れて大満足☆

その後のシュノーケルでカメちゃんも見れて幸せ☆

I want to start this review by saying that Kieko (our guide) picked us up at our hotel and I was not in the right pick up area. She was actually walking around calling out my name and found me. I cannot thank her enough!!!

The tour was about a half day long - we went in the morning, which I would recommend because it can get crowded at Hanauma as the day goes on.

We were able to lock up our valuables while we were in the water. The tram ride down and back up to the parking lot was awesome

As for the snorkelling - it was AMAZING. I cannot believe how many different species of marine life we saw. So much fun. I did not want to get out of the water!

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

It was fun. 楽しかったです

Reviewed by: むさごん

It wasn't a sunny day, so the water was quite cold when we got in, but we were able to enjoy a different kind of sea than Waikiki and even encountered sea turtles. The lunch on the boat was also quite delicious. After that, my father and high school students seemed to have a great time snorkeling, taking pictures of corals and sea turtles with their cameras. My mother and elementary school students enjoyed themselves with the rental floaties and paddle boats during that time. The boat didn't feel too rocky, but there were about 5 or 6 people who got seasick, so motion sickness medication might be necessary. The staff were all cheerful and fun, and they took great pictures with our cameras.

However... about two months ago, I made a reservation for the best day after checking the tides, but suddenly, less than a month before, I was told it was canceled due to a movie shoot. When I tried to book on another low tide day, I was told it was already full. I thought about canceling, but since it was the event I was looking forward to the most, I participated with faint hopes, even though it was on a king tide day. But as expected... the tide level was 160 cm, which meant the water was up to about half my face. Those who weren't good swimmers seemed to struggle. I knew we wouldn't be able to see the beautiful sandbar, but the result was too disappointing. Even though it cost over 50,000 yen, it was canceled so easily that I couldn't accept it, and now I feel like I want to try again next time, but also not...

晴天ではなかったので、海に入るとかなり冷たかったですが、ワイキキとは違う海を楽しむことができ、海亀とも出会えました。船上のランチも、なかなか美味しかったです。その後、父と高校生はシュノーケリングで、サンゴや海亀を持参したカメラで撮ったりと満喫したようです。母と小学生はその間貸し出しの浮き輪、パドルボートで楽しめました。船はそんなに揺れる感じではなかったですが、酔ってダウンしている方が5〜6人はいらっしゃったので、酔い止めは必要かも…。スタッフの方はみなさん明るく楽しく、という感じで、持参のカメラでもしっかり撮って頂きました。

ただ…二ヶ月ほど前に、潮を調べて一番良い日を予約したにもかかわらず、一ヶ月をきってから突然、映画撮影のためと言われキャンセルになり、他の潮の低い日に申し込んでも、もういっぱいですと言われ…。キャンセルしようかとも思ったのですが、一番楽しみにしていたイベントだったため、キングタイドの日でしたが、淡い期待を持って参加しました。しかしやはり…案の定…潮位は160cmの私で顔半分くらいまで…。泳ぎが得意でない人は、みなさん困っていらっしゃいました。サンドバーのあの綺麗な砂が見られないことは分かってはいたけれど、残念すぎる結果でした。5万を超える出費なのに、簡単にキャンセルされて納得いかず、次回リベンジしたいような、したくないような…

Maui to Lanai Snorkel Cruise with Breakfast & Lunch from Lahaina

Great experience, my parents' highlight of the trip

Reviewed by: Stacie

We had a great time on this cruise. Everything about it went basically as planned. We went to two different snorkeling spots where we had an hour or a little more to swim around checking out the coral reef and the marine life. In the beginning, they had a little breakfast that included muffins, fruits and different types of juice. After the first snorkeling spot, they made chicken breasts, hot dogs and burgers patties for lunch which were also very good. They didn't have KETCHUP!!! Which was a pretty big bummer, but the food was good and there was plenty of it. They also handed out bags of chips and pretty much everyone was able to get a second bag. The best part about the cruise was the dolphins that we saw. We spent about 20-30 minutes watching a pack of dolphins swim around and with out boat. They got up so close, it was amazing. My nephew and I sat at the front of the boat and actually got yelled at by the captain, but it was definitely worth it because my feet were about 10 feet away from touching the dolphins they were so close. Then at the last snorkeling spot, we got to swim with sea turtles (only noticed one when I was swimming but it did get pretty close), and a 6 foot long shark that was laying underneath the wreckage we were snorkeling above. It was pretty awesome and scary all at the same time. The shark was sleeping (or dead) because it didn't move and there was no danger, but I still didn't want to take my eyes off him! The boat provided the snorkel equipment including the liquid to keep your goggles clear. There is also a slide that goes off the side of the boat which was really fun to go off of! The crew ended the cruise with a free alcoholic beverage for each adult over 21 years old, and it was very tasty and had a lot of alcohol in it! I believe this was well worth the money.

Dolphin Sensei!! The best!! イルカ先生‼︎最高です‼︎

Reviewed by: Kim

After being picked up, the instructions began. It was early in the morning, the microphone was loud, and they were talking about dolphins in a sporty way. I wondered if I could keep up with this vibe, thinking that "Dolphin Middle School" was not just a concept but something they were serious about. However, later I realized that this morning's instruction was all meticulously planned.

The staff were very kind, and it was clear that they truly loved dolphins and marine life, showing respect for them. Although I was sleepy in the morning, I received various guidance on the bus. I learned that dolphins, like humans, can have good days and bad days, sometimes wanting to be left alone, and sometimes approaching us. It might seem obvious when you think about it, but I was able to understand things I hadn't properly considered before.

If I had fallen asleep, I think I would have struggled once on the boat. I also learned for the first time not to splash my fins or make noise. I realized that the reason I hadn't encountered turtles despite swimming many times was due to my own actions. I thought I should become someone who doesn't disturb marine life and can coexist with them.

It seems that the dolphin was in an incredibly good mood that day! I am truly grateful! At first, I thought, "What does it mean to call a dolphin a teacher?" But from the moment I met the dolphin, I quietly shouted in my heart, "Dolphin-sensei!" The dolphin was amazing. The staff were amazing too. I believe that coming to Hawaii and creating this memory is truly the best. This tour is possible because the staff love dolphins. Thank you very much!

本当に感謝です！
初めは、イルカ先生って…先生ってなんだよ…

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 experienced the best moment ❤️ 最高の瞬間を体験できました❤️

Reviewed by: ゆうなり

This was the only tour I participated in during my first visit to Maui, and I had a wonderful time. I was picked up from the hotel at 6:30 AM and after picking up a few others, we headed to the port. At the port, we signed a waiver before boarding and received our tickets, which were provided in Japanese, so I felt reassured. There were 149 people from various backgrounds that day, but only three groups of five Japanese, including myself. If you line up early for boarding, you can get on the boat sooner and secure your preferred seat.

Depending on the boat you take, this may vary, but for those prone to seasickness, sitting slightly forward in the middle of the lower deck might be best. There are restrooms on both sides of the middle section, which can be left open when not in use, causing some odor, while the back of the middle section had a noticeable gasoline smell from the engine. I’m not very strong with vehicles either, but I didn’t experience any seasickness or motion sickness from the large waves at sea.

Once on board, as I had worried, various explanations were given repeatedly in English. During these times, our guide Takako gathered the Japanese guests and summarized the information in Japanese, which was comforting. The boat had various regulations, but I felt they were taking proper care of everyone’s safety. The light breakfast served after boarding and the hearty hamburger lunch after our stay at Molokini Island were both surprisingly delicious, and I thoroughly enjoyed the unlimited drinks available at the bar until we returned to port after all activities.

If you want to rent underwater cameras or wetsuits for activities, there are rental fees, so it’s a good idea to bring some cash. Items like noodles and life jackets are available for free. There isn’t a safe for valuables on the boat, so you need to manage your belongings yourself. It’s best not to bring more than necessary.

The waters around Molokini Island are very clear, allowing for beautiful views of the fish. The coastline has coral, so you can see fish up close, but be careful not to get too close due to the waves. The seawater isn’t too cold, and the hour of snorkeling flew by. After that, we moved to a spot known for a high encounter rate with sea turtles, which was my main goal. I heard Takako, who was on a surfboard, calling out when she spotted a turtle, and I was able to meet my first turtle. I encountered a total of four turtles of various sizes, and one swam right beside me as I turned, and while I felt I should avoid it, I got so caught up in taking pictures. Of course, Takako gently reminded me afterward, and I apologized. But it was a truly wonderful experience, and I felt lucky and grateful.

As for the schedule, it was roughly as follows, just for reference. Please consider this as an approximate outline of what happened this time: 30 minutes for pickup and travel to the port, 1 hour by boat to Molokini Island, 1 hour at the Molokini point, 1 hour to move to the turtle point, 1 hour at the turtle point, 1 hour to return to port, and 30 minutes for the drive back to the hotel. This was the timing with a smooth progression.

During the boat ride and snorkeling, Takako took great care of us. For the pickup on the way back, another Japanese guide (I didn’t catch their name, and I apologize if I forgot) assisted us. Especially on the return, I was the only solo traveler, so I got to sit in the front seat and had a great time chatting along the way. When I mentioned that I hadn’t encountered any turtles near Black Rock close to the hotel, they shared some points where I might be able to see them. I plan to give it a try in the coming days. It was truly a wonderful tour, including the guides, and I would love to join the same tour company again when I come back. Thank you very much.

初めてのマウイ島で、厳選して唯一参加したツアーでしたが、とても楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。
朝6時半にホテルに迎えにきてもらい、何人かをピックアップしてから港へ。港では乗船前に規約書にサインして引き換えに乗船券をもらいますが、ちゃんと日本語で書かれたものがあるので安心です。いろんなところから集まったいろんな人種の人々がこの日は149人いましたが、日本人は私を含め、3組5名のみでした。乗船のために並ぶ列は早めに並ぶと、船内へ早く入れるので自分好みの席を確保できます。
乗る船が変われば参考になりませんが、酔いやすい人は揺れにくい下のフロアの真ん中より少し前寄りがベストかもしれません。真ん中両サイドにトイレがあり未使用時には開けっ放しなので臭いが、真ん中より後ろはエンジンのガソリン臭が気になりました。ちなみに私も乗り物にはあまり強くないですが、船酔いも海上での大波が連続することでの波酔いも全くありませんでした。
乗船すると、心配していた通り、いろんな説明が英語で何度もされることに。そういう時はガイドのタカコさんが日本人を集めて、要約して日本語で説明してくれたので安心でした。船にはいろいろ規定がありますが、一人一人の安全に対してきちんとしてくれてるなあと思いました。乗船後に出た軽い朝食も、モロキニ島滞在の後の移動時間に出たガッツリハンバーガーの昼食も予想以上に美味しく、全てのアクティビティが終わった後の帰港するまでにバーでオーダーできる飲み放題のアルコールもたっぷり楽しめました。
アクティビティ用の水中カメラやウエットスーツなどをレンタルしたい場合はレンタル料がかかるので、多少のお金は持って行った方が良いと思います。マスクやフィン以外でも、ヌードルやライフジャケットなどの小物は無料で貸してもらえます。船内に貴重品入れがあるわけではないので、持ち物は自己管理。必要以上のものは持っていかないのが無難です。
モロキニ島周辺は、透明度が高く、魚がキレイに見られます。海岸沿いはサンゴがあるので魚を近くで見られますが、波があるので近づきすぎには注意してください。海水もさほど冷たくなく、シュノーケリング時間の約1時間があっという間でした。その後、私的には本命だったウミガメの遭遇率が高いポイントへ移動。サーフボードに乗ったタカコさんがウミガメを見つけて周りに知らせてくれてた声を聞いて、最初のウミガメに出会うことができました。その後も合計4匹の大小様々なウミガメに出会い、1匹は横を向いたらすぐそばを泳いでいて、避けなきゃいけないと思いつつ、写真を撮ることに夢中になってしまいました。もちろん後でタカコさんに優しくたしなめられました、ごめんなさい。でも、とても素敵な時間を過ごせたポイント。幸運だったなと感謝しました。
スケジュールはおおよそですが、参考までに。あくまで今回はこんな感じだったという程度に考えてください。ピックアップ&港への車移動に30分、船でモロキニ島までの移動に1時間、モロキニ島ポイント1時間、ウミガメポイントへ移動に1時間、ウミガメポイント1時間、帰港するのに1時間、港からホテルまでの車移動に30分。スムーズに進行してこのくらいってことで。
船の中やシュノーケリング中はガイドのタカコさんにいろいろとお世話してもらいました。行き帰りのピックアップでは、別の日本人ガイドさん(お名前は聞かなかったと思いますが、失念したならごめんなさい)にお世話していただきました。特に帰りは1人客が私だけだったので、助手席に座らせてもらい、道すがらいろんな話が出来て楽しかったです。ホテルの近くのブラックロックでまだ亀に遭遇できないと話すと、会えそうなポイントを教えてくれました。明日以降チャレンジしたいと思います。ガイドさんたちを含め本当に素敵なツアーだったので、また次に来た時は、同じツアー会社の企画に参加したいなと思います。ありがとうございました。

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＞

Sea turtles and sandbars 海ガメとサンドバー

Reviewed by: テラクラ

The phrase "Angel's Sea" is truly fitting! The scenery was just as beautiful as the name suggests.
The weather and tide play a significant role on the day of your visit. It was great to have a morning with water levels around calf height.

Searching for sea turtles is exhilarating! The boat is impressive, so it was fine to bring a non-waterproof camera.

The guide really pumped up the excitement, so I definitely want to go again!

天使の海とはよく言ったものだ！名前に負けない景色が楽しめました。
当日は天気と潮が関係します。ふくらはぎくらいの水位となる朝が良かったです。

海ガメ探しはテンション上がります！
船は立派なので防水でないカメラを持っていっても大丈夫でした。

ガイドさんが盛り上げてくれるのでまた行きたいです！

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＞

My long-awaited dream! 念願の！

Reviewed by: aice

Last year, I had to just observe because I wasn't feeling well, so this year was my long-awaited participation! It was just amazing... Not only did I get to have a class with Dolphin Sensei, but I also swam for a long time with Professor Turtle, and I really think it changed my life. During Dolphin Sensei's class, the snorkeling was a bit fragmented, and I thought it might be physically challenging, but I was able to swim as much as I wanted during the subsequent snorkeling, and it was so much fun! I thought I might go two or three times during my stay, haha.

Oh, and the boat was upgraded, which was great! My mother was happy that it was easier for her to jump in. Our belongings didn't get wet, and it was clean, so we could enjoy ourselves without any worries.

去年参加した際、体調が悪く見学になってしまったため、今年は念願の参加でした！
もう、なんていうか最高でした…
イルカ先生に授業してもらえただけでなく、カメ大教授とも長く泳げたし、たぶん本当に人生変わったと思います。
イルカ先生の授業の時はシュノーケリングが細切れ？で、ちょっと体力的に大変かな？とも思ったのですが、その後のシュノーケリングを満足するまで泳げて楽しかった〜♡
滞在中2、3回いってもいいかもと思いました笑

そうだ！船がグレードアップしててよかったです！
母が飛び込むの楽になって喜んでました。
荷物も濡れないし、綺麗で心置きなく楽しめました(^-^)

Snuba Tours of Kauai | Small-Group Guided Beach SNUBA Diving Tour at Lawai Beach

Somewhat disappointing

Reviewed by: Paul H.

While our guide and his assistant were very friendly and knowledgeable, the experience was average at best. We put all our gear on behind the van on the shoulder of a busy road and then just walked across the street and got in the water. Maybe went out 75 yards at most and then swam back to shore. It would have been nice to go out further, away from a busy area with other tourists.

This is the second time I've taken this tour and it is a wonderful experience. However, be warned this is NOT a non-smoking tour which we only discovered this second time.
