All Reviews for Snorkeling Cruises & Tours

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。

My wife, who can't swim at all, was able to enjoy herself thanks to the kindness of the two instructors. We were also able to see sea turtles, which made us very satisfied. Thank you very much.

全く泳げない妻もインストラクターお二人のお心遣いでエンジョイできました。海ガメも見られて大満足です。
ありがとございました。

At first, we searched for dolphins by boat but couldn't find any. After that, we moved by car and soon encountered a large pod of dolphins just off the bay! We saw dolphins swimming and jumping, sometimes so close that it felt like we could touch them, and we returned home completely satisfied. The guides were all very cheerful and friendly, and we are very grateful for their experience and judgment. Thank you for the precious memories with my family.

最初は船でイルカを探して見つからず、その後車で移動して、湾から泳いですぐのところで、大量のイルカの群れに会えました！
回遊するイルカやジャンプするイルカを見て、時には触れられそうなほど近くで泳いだり、大満足で帰ってきました。
ガイドさん達はみなさんとても明るくフレンドリーで、その経験と判断にとても感謝です。
家族の貴重な思い出をありがとうございました。

I was surprised to see sea turtles come right up to my feet! I was so hungry after swimming that I ended up going back for seconds because it was so delicious.

足元にまで、海亀が来てビックリ‼、ランチも泳いだ後でお腹すいていたので、おかわりしてしまうほど美味しかったです。

Overall, this trip was quite good. The staff were very nice, and they provided delicious free American-style hamburgers and hot and cold drinks. The only downside was the bad weather.

這次行程整體來說都還不錯，staff 人都很nice ,且還提供美味的免費美式漢堡及冷熱飲品。唯一美中不足的是天氣不好。

We were picked up at the hotel at 5:30 AM while it was still dark and took about an hour bus ride to the shared port. There were just under 20 participants, making it a compact tour. While there were many couples, there were also two solo travelers, families, and a group of men, so I think it's a tour that anyone can easily join, not just couples.

As you can see in the photos, the boat wasn't that large, but perhaps due to the good sea conditions, no one got seasick, and it was a comfortable boat trip. By the way, we had seen experiences in advance, so we took motion sickness medication. If you're worried about getting seasick, it's better to take it for peace of mind.

The captain and crew were all cheerful and fun, which raised the mood on the boat. We encountered a lot of dolphins and were able to swim with them, which was truly moving. I think we saw over 100 dolphins. Additionally, a sea turtle came up to the surface, and we were able to see its face up close, which was also amazing.

While you do wear fins, you swim quite a bit, so it might be a bit tough for those without much stamina. Most people rented wetsuits, and we did too; it was good to have them since it can get chilly when you get back on the boat.

We also enjoyed Hawaiian songs and hula dancing on the boat in a friendly atmosphere. I'm glad I participated.

まだ暗い朝5時半にホテルに迎えに来てもらい、乗り合い港まで約一時間バスに乗りました。
参加は私たちを含め２０人弱で、コンパクトなツアーとなりました。
カップルが多かったですが、一人旅の人も二組、親子連れ、男性のみのグループもいましたので、カップル以外でも気軽に参加できるツアーなのだと思います。
写真のとおり、それほど大きな船でもありませんでしたが、海の状態もよかったせいか、船酔いする人は一人も出ず、快適な船旅でした。
ちなみに、私たちは体験談を事前に見ていたこともあり、酔い止めを飲みました。酔う心配かある方は飲んでおいた方が安心です。
キャプテン、クルーともみなさん陽気で楽しい方で、船の上のテンションも上がります。
肝心のイルカともとてもたくさん出会えて、一緒に泳ぐことができ感動しました。延べ１００頭以上と会えたと思います。また、ウミガメさんも水面まで上がってきてくれて、顔を間近に見られてこちらも最高でした。
フィンを付けてにはなりますが、それなりに泳ぎますので体力がない方には少しつらいと感じるかもしれません。また、ウェットスーツはほとんどの人が借りていました。私たちも借りましたが、船に上がったときなど冷えることがあるので、借りて良かったです。
船上でのハワイの歌、フラダンスも和気あいあいとした雰囲気のなかみんなで楽しめました。
参加して良かったです。

It was me and my friend’s first time snorkeling and Dan was extremely patient. At first, I was uncomfortable with breathing under water, but Dan made sure that I relaxed myself and held on to me during the practices to ensure that I was comfortable. He took great photos for us and took us further down to see a lot of fishes and we even saw a turtle towards the end of the tour! I would highly recommend Blue Hawaii Divers to anyone who wishes to book a tour for snorkeling. It is not necessarily just for beginners, we swam in groups and there were people who have snorkeled before. On the way back to the hotel, Dan gives great suggestions on where to go, and he also gives great recommendations for food spots.

The guide was very good at Japanese, which was reassuring! I saw manta rays up close! The sunset, night view, stars, and manta rays were all amazing!

ガイドさんとても、日本語が上手で安心！マンタもすごい近くで見ました！サンセット・夜景・星・マンタ見れて最高！

I participated with my elementary school child. We joined from the Marriott Hotel, and perhaps because there were only a few people on this route's bus, the temperature inside was comfortable, not too cold.

There were some hiccups, like forgetting to bring mineral water on the boat, but it was a small boat, close to the sea, and the atmosphere on board was friendly and cheerful.

I checked the low tide times in Japan before participating, so the sandbar was at a nice level, just below the knees to the ankles. It was my first time snorkeling, but I felt reassured because the staff was there to support us if we were anxious.

Since I joined the morning course, we were able to return to Waikiki in the afternoon, making good use of our time. The staff's guidance was clear and enjoyable. I think I might get hooked on snorkeling!

小学生の子供と参加しました。
マリオットホテルからの参加でしたが、こちらのルートのバスは少人数だったからなのか、バスの中の温度も寒すぎず、快適でした。
船も ミネラルウォーターの積み忘れなどのハプニングはありましたが、小さな船で、海も近くて船の中も和気あいあいな感じでした。
引き潮の時間も日本で調べてから参加したので、サンドバーはひざ下から足首の感じのいい時期でした。
初シュノーケルでしたが、不安だったらスタッフの方たちがついていてくれたので、安心できました。
午前中のコースに参加したので、午後にはワイキキに戻ってこれたので、時間も有効に使えました。
スタッフの方のガイドもわかりやすく、楽しかった。
ちょっとシュノーケルにはまりそうです。

This is my second time, and I really think it's a wonderful tour! The hamburgers eaten on the boat are the best! I want to participate again next time!

2回目ですが、本当に素晴らしいツアーだと思います！
船上で食べるハンバーガーが最高です！
次回も参加したいと思います！

I participated because it was a filming location for the movie Pirates of the Caribbean. It took about 15 minutes from the port to the mooring point. During the ride, I enjoyed some drinks and brownies. When getting off the boat, I waded in the water to walk to the point. The shallowest water level at the point was about ankle-deep. The weather wasn't perfectly clear, but it was pleasantly sunny, and I had a great time.

After that, it was snack time. It was a buffet-style meal where you could eat as much as you liked. The food was good, especially the sausages, which were delicious. After finishing the meal, it was time for snorkeling. Unfortunately, it started to rain, so I couldn't see the beautiful underwater scenery with sunlight, but I did see a sea turtle.

When we returned, we had some free time to play with standing paddles and balls. My family cut their feet on the sandbar, but they received treatment from the first aid kit. The staff were very kind, and I had a fulfilling time. I would love to participate again!

If you're looking forward to enjoying the sandbar, I think it would be better to check the tide levels in Kaneohe in advance to have a more enjoyable experience.

映画パイレーツオブカリビアンのロケ地だった事もあり参加しました。

味もGOOD。特にソーセージが美味しかったです。
食事を終えるとシュノーケリングタイム。
ここで雨が降ってきてしまい、太陽が差し込む綺麗な海中は見られなかったですが、ウミガメも見られました。
戻ってきてから時間があったので、スタンディングパドルやボールで遊ぶ時間がありました。
サンドバーで家族が足を切ってしまいましたが、ファーストエイドキットで処置してもらいました。
その他にもスタッフの方に親切にしていただき、充実した時間を過ごせました。
また参加したい！

サンドバーを楽しみに行かれるなら、事前にカネオヘの潮位を調べて参加された方が楽しめるのではないかと思います。

The weather wasn't great, so the photos of the sea and sky didn't turn out well. However, I was able to see turtles, and the lunch was delicious, so I'm glad I participated. The guide was also very kind! Thank you very much.

お天気がイマイチだったので、せっかくの海・空の写真も映えずでした。
ですが、亀にも会えたしランチも美味しかったので参加してよかったです。
ガイドの方も親切でした！ありがとうございました。

There are people who can speak Japanese, and since you wear life jackets when entering the sea, I think it's a tour that even those who are not confident in swimming can enjoy safely.
It is paid, but renting a wetsuit was the right choice!
I went in August, and since you go into the sea quite a few times, it gets pretty cold!
I was able to see dolphins and sea turtles as well.

日本語が出来る方もいますし、ライフジャケット着用で海に入るので、泳ぎに自信がない人でも安心して楽しめるツアーだと思います。
有料ですが、ウェットスーツを借りて正解でした！
8月に行きましたが海に入る回数も多いので、結構冷えます！
イルカ、ウミガメも見ることが出来ました。

Great Trip... Saw turtles and Dolphins up close..and plenty of other marine life...all of the crew were exceptional... safety concious, engaging, and fun.. paticularly the Captain. Could tell he was experienced and loved what he was doing.. Will repeat this again, as I hsve been on this trip with other providers but didn’t have as good of experience..

On the day of the tour, the waves were calm, and we were blessed with good weather.

We spotted dolphins, but during the first dive, they were too far away to say we swam with them. On the second dive, we got quite close, and by the third dive, we were able to swim alongside them clearly with the naked eye. We also saw a surprising number of sea turtles, much to the guide's astonishment. It’s rare to see as many as ten, both large and small.

Perhaps we were lucky, but it turned out to be a very satisfying tour.

当日は波もそれほどなく、天候に恵まれました。

イルカを発見し、１回目のダイブは遠過ぎて一緒に泳いだとは言えず、２回目はかなり近くまで接近。３回目で肉眼でもはっきり見られる位、一緒に泳ぐことができました。
ウミガメは、ガイドさんもビックリするぐらいの数を見ることができました。大小合わせて１０匹も見ることは稀だそうです。

運も良かったのでしょうが、大満足のツアーとなりました。

Staff was very helpful and friendly. Also let us snorkel while we waited. A++

I stayed at a small hotel, and they came to pick us up properly. The guide was surprised, saying, "It's rare to see Japanese people staying here!" as it seems that Japanese often stay at famous hotels.

We headed to Hanauma Bay in a larger vehicle that could accommodate about eight people. We participated in the afternoon session, and although the parking lot seemed full, thanks to the guide's connections, we were able to enter.

At Hanauma Bay, watching a video before snorkeling is mandatory, and we were guided by our guide to watch the video. After that, we took a shuttle down to the beach.

At the beach, they managed our belongings and valuables by providing security boxes. They also lent us mats and allowed time for changing.

We put on life jackets and got ready for snorkeling.

It seemed to be high tide, and there were waves that made it difficult to move at times, but the guide was always with us, so we could snorkel without getting lost in the sea. We were able to see fish. The guide took us to a spot where we might see turtles, but we ended up feeling seasick from the waves and had to return early. The guide was considerate of our condition, and those who felt okay were taken to other spots with another guide, so I would like to try again!

They also took photos, which made me very satisfied, but it was unfortunate that I got seasick.

However, since they were attentive to our well-being and adjusted to the participants' pace, I highly recommend this tour! I strongly suggest that those who are not confident in their physical condition bring motion sickness medication.

小さなホテルに宿泊していましたが、きちんと迎えに来てくださいました。「日本の方が泊まっているなんて珍しいと思います！」と、日本人は有名ホテルに泊まっていることが多いそうで、驚かれました。

ハナウマ湾までは８人ほど乗れる大きめの車で向かいます。
私たちは午後の部に参加したのですが、駐車場が満車のようでしたが、ガイドさんの顔パスにより私たちは入場することができました。

ハナウマ湾ではシュノーケリング前にビデオ鑑賞が必須となっており、私たちもガイドさんに案内されビデオを鑑賞しました。
そのあとはシャトルで浜のほうに降ります。

浜では荷物や貴重品をセキュリティーボックスに入れてくださるなど、きちんと管理してくれます。
ゴザもかしてくれたり、着替えの時間も設けてくださいました。

救命用具もつけていざシュノーケリング。

満潮時のようで、波がありうまく進むことができないときもありましたが、常にガイドさんがついてくださり、海のなかで迷うことなくシュノーケルすることができました。
魚もみることができました。
亀がいそうなスポットのほうまで案内してくれましたが、私たちは波で酔ってしまい、途中で帰ることになりました。
体調を気遣ってくださり、大丈夫な方たちはもう一人のガイドさんとほかのスポットまで連れていってもらっていたので、またリベンジしたいと思います！

写真も撮ってくれて大満足でしたが、酔ってしまったので残念でした。

ただ、体調を気遣ってくれたり、参加者のペースに合わせてくれるので、とてもおすすめのツアーです！
体調に自信のない方は酔い止めなどを持参することを強くおすすめします。

We went to Hawaii for our honeymoon. My husband wanted to swim with dolphins, so we searched online and decided to use the private Dolphin Academy. Honestly, since it's a tour involving nature, I was prepared for the possibility that we might not see any dolphins, but we quickly found many dolphins and were able to swim with them. It was truly moving! After that, dolphins came close to the boat again for a second dive, and I was so happy to see turtles as well.

Although it’s an early morning tour, the guide, the driver, and all the boat staff were really entertaining, making it a lot of fun! Don’t think about sleeping on the bus in the morning! (^^)

I believe there is a possibility of not seeing dolphins, but the staff really puts in their best effort for the participants. If you tend to get seasick, I recommend taking motion sickness medication, and if you're participating in April, a wetsuit is essential.

I am grateful for the miracle of seeing dolphins and turtles, and for being able to join such wonderful tour participants.

新婚旅行でハワイに行きました。
旦那がイルカと一緒に泳ぎたい！とのことでネットで色々探し、こちらの私立イルカ中学さんを利用させていただくことに。正直、自然相手のツアーなのでイルカに会えなくても仕方ないものと割り切って参加しましたが、ツアーではすぐにたくさんのイルカを見つけ一緒に泳ぐことが出来ました。本当に感動でした！その後も再びイルカが船の近くに来てくれ２回目のダイブ♡亀にも会えて嬉しすぎです。
朝早い時間からのツアーですが、ガイドさんはもちろん運転手さんも船のスタッフさんも皆さん面白い方ばかりで本当に楽しめます！朝バスの中で寝ようなんて思わないで下さい(^^)笑
イルカに会えない可能性もあるとは思いますが、スタッフ皆さんが全力でツアー参加者のために頑張ってくれますよ。
酔う方は酔い止め、4月参加の場合はウェットスーツは必須だと思います。
今回イルカや亀に会えた奇跡、素敵なツアー参加者と一緒になれた奇跡に感謝します。

There were no fish, and even if there were, they were mostly dark-colored, so I was disappointed after spending half a day there.

The staff were friendly, though!

魚がおらず、いても黒つぽいのばっかりで半日がかりで行ったのにがっかりでした

スタッズ等は親切でした！

I signed up for this tour because I wanted to swim with dolphins. On the day of the tour, I was a bit groggy from waking up early, but Juli, our guide, was there to lead us!

Despite it being early in the morning, she was so talkative! I worried if I could keep up, but as I listened to Juli, I gradually got to know her personality. Her love for dolphins and her desire to have a fun tour drew us in as well.

On the day, we miraculously encountered a ton of dolphins, and we even saw three turtles! It made us feel so happy.

We both work and have tiring days, but this tour made us think that we should try to enjoy everything.

When we reminisced about our honeymoon and reflected on what was fun, we both said...

"The dolphin tour!"

『イルカのツアー！』でした♡

On the way there, the driver provided a tour guide in English. It's not a big deal, but I learned a lot of things I wouldn't have known if I had been traveling by rental car. It was surprisingly good.

The crew consisted of three women and Captain Bob. One of them could speak Japanese, but even if you're worried about your English, it's not a problem. Everyone was friendly and fun.

The sandbar is just a shallow area offshore, so there's nothing particularly special, but you can practice snorkeling or play beach volleyball. I thought about walking to the end, but there were larger stones (pieces of coral) along the way, and it hurt my feet without sandals. It was also too wide to reach the end.

Next was turtle watching. This time, there were few turtles. However, there were a lot of mantas that came very close to the boat.

While snorkeling, there was a large turtle right nearby. After taking a ton of photos, I circled around the coral reef that spans about 1 km. When I returned to the boat to take a break, I spotted a shark. It seemed to be sleeping, so I dove down and got about a meter close to it.

There were many unexpected discoveries, and it was incredibly fun.

行きのバスではドライバーが英語で観光案内してくれる。大した話ではないがレンタカーで移動していたら知りえないことがいろいろ聞けた。意外とよかった。

船員は女性３名＋キャプテンBOB。日本語ができる方は１名だが英語が心配な方でも問題ない。皆さん気さくで楽しい。

サンドバーは沖合の浅瀬というだけで特段何もないが、シュノーケルの練習やビーチ（？）バレーができる。端まで歩こうと思ったが、途中から大きめの石（サンゴのかけら）が多くなりサンダルがないと足が痛い。そもそも広すぎて端まで行けなかった。

次にタートルウォッチング。今回は亀は少なかった。しかし、マンタが大量にいて船のすぐ近くまで来てくれた。

シュノーケルでは、大きな亀がすぐ近くにいた。写真を撮りまくった後、周囲１Kmあるサンゴ礁をぐるりと一周。船に戻って休憩しよと思ったらサメを発見。寝ているようだったので素潜りで１ｍぐらいまで近づいてみた。

想定外の発見がいろいろあってめちゃくちゃ楽しかった。
