We participated as a couple. Most of the tour participants were American, so there was a bit of an away feeling, but one of the participants kindly spoke to us in slow, clear English since we didn't understand much.
We encountered many dolphins, and snorkeling was fun. But above all, the high-speed boat was thrilling! However, after snorkeling, the wind was quite strong and cold, so a jacket is necessary!
夫婦で参加。ツアー参加者はアメリカ人ばかりでアウェイ感はありましたが、参加者の一人が英語がわからない私たちに、ゆっくりと分かりやすい英語で話しかけてくれて助かりました。
イルカにも沢山出会えましたし、シュノーケルも楽しかったです。
でも、何といっても高速ボートがスリル満点‼
ただ、シュノーケルの後は風がかなり当たって寒いので、上着は必要です‼

This time, I signed up for a short course that included a light meal (sandwich and tea). I was excited from before arriving at the port, guided by the cheerful and energetic staff. They even helped us look for cute sea turtles while cruising... During the sandbar snorkeling, many staff members were there to watch over us properly... The ocean is truly beautiful. It might be a bit pricey since it's a place you can't visit on your own. The sandbar is natural, so depending on the time, it can be deep (laughs). However, it was a fun and reassuring tour that offered a different kind of enjoyment compared to Waikiki. Thank you very much.
今回は軽食付(サンドイッチと紅茶)の短いコースを申し込みました。
元気のいい明るいスタッフに案内されて港到着前からわくわくです。
クルーズしながらかわいいウミガメも探してくれて・・・
サンドバー・シュノーケリング時も多くのスタッフがきちんと見守ってくれて・・・
やっぱり海が美しいです。
個人で行けない場所なので少しお値段は高めかもしれません。
サンドバーは自然のものなので時間帯によっては深いです(笑)
でもワイキキとは違う楽しみ方が出来る安心の楽しいツアーでした。
ありがとうございました。

I'm really glad I participated in this tour! The guide, Julie, was bright and cheerful, which made me feel at ease, and there were plenty of staff members, which was reassuring.
On the day of the tour, the weather was great, the water was clear, and I was able to snorkel and swim with many wild dolphins, fulfilling my childhood dream of "swimming with dolphins"! The baby dolphins were especially cute.
I also got to see four sea turtles, and I was really lucky to see a rare baby seal, one of only 250 in Hawaii! I was able to see many colorful fish up close, almost as if I was in an aquarium, and although it was a bit scary, I even encountered three sharks (*^▽^*).
In the end, we all danced the hula together; it was a fun and moving tour overall. Since the dolphins are wild, you can't always expect to see the same number, but it's a wonderful memory, so I highly recommend it! (^^)/
本当に参加してよかったツアーでした!
ガイドをしてくださったジュリーさんも明るく元気な方で、安心感が持てましたし、
スタッフさんの数も多くて心強かったです。
ツアー当日は、天気も良く、海の透明度も高くて、沢山の野生のイルカとシュノーケリングで一緒に泳ぐことができて、小さいころからの「イルカと一緒に泳ぐ」という夢を叶えることができました!
特にイルカの赤ちゃんが可愛かったです。
ウミガメも4匹見ることができましたし、ハワイに250頭しかいないアザラシの中でもさらに貴重な赤ちゃんを見ることができて本当にラッキーでした!
水族館の水槽の中で泳いでいるのかと思うくらいの、沢山のカラフルなお魚も近くで見れましたし、ちょっと怖かったですが、サメにも3頭会えました(*^▽^*)
最後はみんなでフラダンスを踊ったり、とにかく楽しくて感動のあるツアーでした。
イルカは野生なのでいつも同じ数出会えるわけではないそうで、
運もありますが、とても素敵な思い出になりますので、オススメです(^^)/

I booked this tour because it comes with a Japanese guide. I forgot that I needed to contact them after arriving in Hawaii, and on the day of the tour, I hurriedly made a phone call, but there were no issues.
The participants were half Japanese and half foreigners. The guide was a friendly American woman in her twenties who spoke a little Japanese. The atmosphere on the boat was pleasant throughout.
About 30 minutes after departure, we arrived at the spot. We floated a buoy that looked like a glowing surfboard in the sea and waited for the manta rays to come. Once we confirmed that the manta rays were approaching, we all got into the water, held onto the buoy, and looked at the manta rays with our faces in the water. The manta rays swirled around, coming close to the light and then moving away, repeating this several times, and they came quite close, which was thrilling. On this day, the manta rays approached our buoy about 7 to 8 times. The night sea was cold, and since we couldn't stay in the water for too long, we were lucky to see them for a bit.
日本人ガイドがつくということで、こちらのツアーを予約しました。ハワイ到着後に連絡を入れなければならないことを忘れており、ツアー当日に慌てて電話をしましたが、問題ありませんでした。
ツアー参加者は日本人と外国人が半々。ガイドは20代くらいのアメリカ人女性でした。日本語は少し話せる程度でしたが、フレンドリーな性格で船上は終始和やかな雰囲気でした。
出港して30分ほどでポイントに到着。光を放つサーフボードのような浮きを海に浮かべ、マンタが寄ってくるのを待ちます。マンタが近づいてきたのを確認し、みんなで水に入り浮きにつかまりながら顔を水につけてマンタを見学。マンタはくるくると旋回しながら光に近づいては離れ、を繰り返しますが、かなり近くまでやってくるので迫力満点。この日は7~8回マンタが私たちの浮きに近づいてきました。夜の海は水が冷たく体が冷えるのであまり長く水中にいられないため、少ししか見られないこともあるようですので、私たちはラッキーでした。
ALOHA! Yukikuo,
Thank you for participating in Manta University this time. The fact that the manta rays came close to you multiple times means they were welcoming you as well!!
Please join us again when you come to Hawaii. All of our staff are looking forward to it from the bottom of our hearts!

Two years ago, I had a disappointing experience due to the worst weather when I participated. This time, I made sure to check the low tide. Now, all I needed was good weather!
When I left Japan, there was a rain forecast for Kaneohe, so I hesitated to cancel, but I decided to go for it and headed to Hawaii without canceling. By the time I arrived in Hawaii, the weather in Kaneohe had cleared up! I thought maybe this could turn out well as I boarded the bus and set off.
The water level was higher than I expected, but I was blessed with clear skies and was able to have my revenge. Since it was my second time, I didn't snorkel and just took a lot of photos. The water was so clear that I was able to see several sea turtles, and I was able to make my wishes. I highly recommend going when the water level is low.
2年前に参加した際に、最悪の天気で残念な思いをしました。今回もしっかりと干潮を調べていきました。あとは天気だけ!!
日本を出発する際に、カネオヘは雨予報だったのでキャンセルしようか迷いましたが、一か八かキャンセルせずにハワイへ出発。ハワイに着いた時にはカネオヘの天気が晴れになっていました!もしかしてこれは期待できるかもしれないと思いながらバスに乗り込み出発。
思っていたよりも水位は高かったけど、晴天に恵まれてリベンジが出来ましたー。2回目だったのでシュノーケルはせずに、写真ばっかり撮っていました。
水がキレイなのでウミガメちゃんも何頭も見ることができて、しっかり願い事をすることもできました。水位が低い時には是非オススメです。

The main purpose of this trip to Hawaii was to swim with dolphins, so I was really looking forward to it. The photographer, Mike, who joined us was incredibly energetic from the morning, which gave me a boost (laughs). We studied about dolphins until we arrived at the harbor. Once we got to the harbor, we took a bathroom break. We arrived earlier than scheduled, so there was quite a bit of waiting time. The waves were pretty high that day, and the boat was rocking, but thanks to the motion sickness medication, I was fine.
While we were listening to the explanation about life jackets and fins, we learned that dolphins had already been spotted! It had only been about 10 minutes since we left the shore. It seems that encountering dolphins so close to the shore is quite rare.
I had seen reviews from others and thought we would be going in and out multiple times, but during our first entry into the water, we encountered quite a few dolphins. I had an underwater digital camera, so when I filmed, you could hear their squeaks too! The tour guide mentioned that the day before, they hadn’t seen any dolphins, so it seems we were lucky to meet so many this time.
After our first swim, we moved on to turtle watching, followed by snorkeling. The university group was kayaking. After that, we returned to the open water, and there was another group of dolphins!! It was truly moving.
The family that participated with us seemed quite tired, but I was so excited that I felt completely energized. I would love to join this tour again if I have the chance! I highly recommend it! ♪
今回のハワイ旅行の一番の目的がイルカと一緒に泳ぐことだったので、とっても楽しみにしていました。
今回同席したカメラマンのマイク。朝からものすごいハイテンションで、元気をもらいました(笑)ハーバーに着くまではイルカについての勉強をします。ハーバーに着いたらトイレ休憩。予定よりも早く着いたので、結構な待ち時間がありました。この日は波が結構高く船は揺れたと思いますが、酔い止めのおかげで大丈夫でした。
ライフジャケットやフィンの説明を聞いているときに、すでにイルかちゃんが見つかっているとのこと!まだ沖から出て10分くらい??こんな沖の近くでイルカちゃんに会えるのはなかなか珍しいことらしい。
みなさんのクチコミを見ていて、何度も入ったり出たりを繰り返すのかと思っていましたが、1回目の入水でかなりのイルカちゃんに出会えました。水中で使用できるデジカメを持っていたので、動画を撮影するとキューキューと鳴き声も入っていましたよー。前日はイルカちゃんを見る事が出来なかったとツアーのお姉さんが言っていたので、今回はかなりのイルカちゃんに出会えてラッキーだったようです。
1回の入水のあとは、移動してウミガメウォッチング。続いでシュノーケルです。大学の方はカヤックなどをしていました。その後沖に戻るのですが、またイルカちゃんの群れ!!本当に感動です。
一緒に参加した家族はかなり疲れたようですが、私は楽しさの方が優先して全然元気でした。また機会があれば参加したいと思えるツアーです!オススメですよ♪

My husband, at 66 years old, took on his first snorkeling adventure! I had to persuade him to join, so I read various experiences and decided that this tour was the best choice. It was a great decision. I was worried about my husband, who has nasal issues, when I heard the instruction, "Breathe through your mouth only, not your nose," but thanks to Chieko's excellent teaching, he didn't struggle with breathing and was able to enjoy about an hour of snorkeling without holding back the younger couples. We created wonderful memories with the beautiful sea and the adorable, colorful fish. What is the path to enjoying snorkeling? The path to meeting the fish? Dan guided us along that sea path and helped us meet the fish. I recommend renting a wetsuit as it has many advantages, such as protecting against injuries from coral and helping with buoyancy, as well as keeping warm. Dan took plenty of photos and uploaded them to Facebook, so we could download them to our smartphones. The only disappointment was that we didn't get to see any sea turtles. It seemed that the continuous hour of swimming was tough for my husband, and he mentioned that he was tired and wanted a break.
夫は、66歳で初シュノーケリングに挑戦!渋る夫を説き伏せての参加だったので体験談をいろいろ読んで ツアーはここしかないと決めました。大正解でした。「鼻呼吸はしない 口呼吸だけです」の言葉に 鼻の悪い夫が心配になりましたが、教え方の上手なチエコさんのおかげで呼吸が苦しくなることもなく、若いカップルたちの足を引っ張ることもなく 1時間ほどのシュノーケリングを楽しむことができました。きれいな海 可愛くきれいなお魚さんの数々 良い思い出が作れました。シュノーケリングを楽しむ道? お魚さんに会える道?なんでしょうか ダンさんがその海の道を案内してお魚さんに合わせてくれます。ウエットスーツは、サンゴからの怪我を避けるのと体が浮きやすくなる 寒さから身を守るなど利点が多いので借りることをお勧めします。写真もダンさんがいっぱい撮ってくれてフェイスブックにアップしてくれるので写真を自分のスマホにダウンロードできます。ただ残念だったのが、ウミガメさんには会えなかったことですね。1時間ぶっ続けのスイムは 夫にはきつかったみたいで疲れた 休憩ほしかったといってました。
Thank you for trying snorkeling for the first time with us. I apologize if your husband got quite tired. Our tour might involve more swimming than many other snorkeling tours (laughs). We really want you to see the beautiful fish in Hanauma Bay, so we tend to swim a bit too much. We always consider the sea conditions and tides of the day to guide you on the best route at that time. Next time, I will do my best to show you a sea turtle, so please come back with your husband for our tour again. Thank you very much. Mahalo!!
この度は初シュノーケリングに挑戦していただき、ありがとうございます。旦那様にはかなり疲れさせてしまったようでごめんなさいね。私達のツアーは数あるシュノーケルツアーの中でも一番泳ぐかもしれません(笑)ハナウマ湾の綺麗なお魚達を沢山見て頂きたくて、ついつい泳ぎ過ぎてしまいます。いつもその日の海のコンディション、潮の満ち引きなどを考えて、その時のベストルートをご案内しております。次こそはウミガメをお見せできるように頑張りますので、またご夫婦で私達のツアーに来てくださいね。ありがとうございました。Mahalo!!

I carefully checked the times for high and low tides before participating (laughs). Since the tide goes out only a few times a year, I recommend joining during the times when the water level is as low as possible♡
It was a day with both sunshine and clouds, but when the sun shone, the sea sparkled beautifully!! It was so much fun to ride the boat and swim freely!
The buffet on the boat was beautifully arranged and tasted much better than I expected, so I had a lot☆
Also, when you get on the boat, your body can get cold, and it feels chilly when the wind blows, so I recommend bringing a hoodie and a bath towel if you're sensitive to the cold♡
満潮干潮の時間を綿密に調べて参加しました(笑)
本当に潮がなくなるのは年に数回なので、できるだけ水位が低い時間帯に参加するのがオススメです♡
晴れたり曇ったりの一日でしたが陽射しが当たると海がキラキラ輝いて本当に綺麗!!
ボートに乗ったり自由に泳いだりも出来てめっちゃ楽しいです!
船上でのバイキングも綺麗に盛り付けて用意してくださり思ってたより全然美味しくてたくさん頂きました☆
あと、船に上がると身体が冷えてて風が吹くと寒く感じるので冷え性の方はパーカーとバスタオル持参がオススメです♡

The meeting place was hard to find, and I ended up wandering the beach for about ten minutes, which made me late, but it wasn't a problem. There was a staff member sitting near a banner that I saw in other people's posted photos. I was asked to write something in English, but I wasn't sure what to write, so I just wrote my name, and it seemed to be fine.
Around 9 o'clock, the cruiser arrived and we departed. I was the only Japanese person; the others were several families from overseas. There was an explanation in English, and while I couldn't catch everything, I understood the general idea of how to put on the life jacket and what to do in case of an emergency. I was given a life jacket and a mask, but I didn't receive fins; perhaps I could have borrowed them if I had asked. I found it cumbersome, so I just swam without them.
We quickly spotted sea turtles, and they were quite close. Two turtles came up for air right in the middle of about ten people swimming, which was very exciting. If I looked closely, I could also see several turtles on the seabed.
There weren't many types of fish, but there were plenty of them. The crew threw food from the cruiser, so the fish swam quite close. I got too excited and tired after about 30 minutes and climbed back onto the cruiser. Still, I was satisfied with how many sea turtles I saw. Others were taking breaks and swimming for quite a long time, enjoying their time freely.
However, in the latter part, I brought this upon myself; I got too excited and tired, and I had inflated my life jacket too much, which pressed on my stomach, combined with forgetting to take motion sickness medication, and I ended up feeling quite nauseous. A kind staff member noticed and brought me some water.
The weather was nice, and while I was enjoying the beautiful scenery during the cruise, I eventually felt better. If I had taken the motion sickness medication, it could have been an even more amazing memory. Even though the weather was good, there was some wind, so I was glad I brought a long-sleeved jacket and a large towel.
The staff couldn't speak Japanese, but when they realized I didn't understand, they communicated with gestures, and they were all kind and cheerful people. I have done snorkeling a few times, so I was okay, but since the time at the turtle spot felt quite free, it might be a bit anxiety-inducing for first-timers. However, if I have the chance to go to Waikiki again, I would like to participate once more.
集合場所が分かりづらくって10分浜辺をウロウロした為遅刻したのですが、問題はなかったです。
他の人の投稿写真にあった垂れ幕の近くに椅子に座ったスタッフさんがいました。
英語で何か書いてと言われたんですが、よくわからずとりあえず名前を書いたんですが、大丈夫そうでした。
9時ごろクルーザーが来て出発。日本人は私一人でした。他は海外の家族が何組かいました。英語で説明があり、全部とは言えませんがなんとなくライフジャケットのつけ方と緊急時の呼び方を言ってると分かりました。ライフジャケットとマスクは渡されたのですが、フィンが渡されず、言えば貸してもらえたのかもしれません。私は邪魔なのでそのまま泳ぎました。
ウミガメはすぐ見つかりました。しかも、かなり近いです。2匹が息継ぎのために10人ほど人が泳いでいる真ん中にあがってきて、とても興奮しました。目をこらすと海底でもウミガメが数匹確認できました。
種類は少ないですが魚もいっぱいいます。クルーザーから餌を投げてくれるので、かなり近くに泳いでます。
はしゃぎすぎて30分弱で疲れてクルーザーに上がりました。それでも充分ウミガメが見れて、満足できました。他の人は休み休み入ったり。かなり長く泳いでたりと自由に過ごしていました。
ただ、後半自業自得なのですが、はしゃぎすぎて疲れたのと、ライフジャケット空気を入れすぎて胃が圧迫されたのと、酔い止め薬を飲み忘れたのが重なって、かなり気持ち悪くなってしまいました。優しいスタッフが気付いてお水をくれました。
天気が良く、クルージングのとても良い景色を見ていたら、最後は復活しましたが、酔い止め薬飲んでおけば、本当に最高の思い出になったかもしれません。
天気は良くても風などがあるので、長袖の上着と大きめのタオルを持って行ってよかったです。
スタッフさんは日本語話せないのですが、私がわかってないとわかると身振りや手ぶりで伝えてくれて、優しいくて陽気な人たちばかりでした。
私はシュノーケリングは何回かしたことがあるので大丈夫でしたが、ウミガメがいるスポットについて、ただ自由時間って感じなので、初めての人にはちょっと不安が多いかもしれません。
でも、私はワイキキに行くことがあったら、また参加したいなと思いました。

It was very beautiful!! I was satisfied because I could see many sea turtles. However, surprisingly, it was deep until we reached the sandbar... I think it depends on the season, but some women were submerged up to their chests. In the photos, it looks like it's only knee-deep, so be careful as there were people who couldn't enter because they weren't wearing swimsuits.

I participated at the end of April with a total of six people: my family of four, plus my father and mother.
The one-hour boat ride to our destination was pleasant and enjoyable. Drinks and snacks were provided, and we could help ourselves. The staff were very cheerful and kind, efficiently preparing snorkels and fins in sizes that suited everyone.
Upon arriving at the bay with the Captain Cook monument, it was finally time for snorkeling. I was worried about whether my six-year-old daughter and my 66-year-old father would be able to participate, but there were plenty of floaties and body wraps available, so we could enjoy it with peace of mind. The water was a bit cold, but it was great to see so many colorful fish.
On the return trip, we encountered a pod of dolphins. Dolphins gathered from all around, swimming alongside the boat and jumping around us. We were able to see their cute appearances and behaviors for about 20 minutes, which was very moving.
I created many wonderful memories. Next time I visit the Big Island, I definitely want to join the Fair Wind snorkeling tour again. Thank you very much.
私は4月末に、家族四人&私の父と母、の合計6人で参加しました。
目的地に着くまでの一時間程、船の旅も気持ちよく楽しいものでした。ドリンクやスナックが用意されていて、自由に取りに行く形でした。
スタッフの方々もとても明るく親切で、それぞれにあったサイズのシュノーケル、フィンも手際よく用意してくれました。

娘は6歳、私の父は66歳だったので出来るか心配していましたが、浮き輪や体に巻き付ける浮具がたくさん用意されていたので、安心して楽しめました。海は少し冷たかったですが、カラフルな魚がたくさん見れて良かったです。
帰りの船ではイルカの群れに遭遇しました。あちこちからイルカがたくさん集まってきて、船と並んで泳いだり、周りでジャンプしたり、、

After arriving by bus from Waikiki, we set off on a boat! Our energetic Japanese guide provided a humorous sightseeing tour, and we reached the heavenly sea! At high tide, the water was up to our waists, and the contrast between the blue sea, the Ko'olau mountain range, and the emerald green sandbar was stunning. After enjoying the sandbar for about an hour, it was lunch time! The freshly grilled hamburgers from the boat's BBQ were delicious!
Next, we went on a turtle watching adventure while listening to the captain play the ukulele and sing! Luckily, a big turtle greeted us right in front of the boat. After that, we went snorkeling over a large coral reef! Before snorkeling, our Japanese guide carefully explained important safety precautions in an easy-to-understand manner, which made us feel very secure. Finally, we donned our fins, masks, and life jackets and entered the water! The clear sea was filled with many fish and corals, allowing us to enjoy a unique snorkeling experience. Other guests were able to swim with the turtles, which was enviable! Additionally, the local staff kept a close eye on safety, allowing us to enjoy ourselves without worry. It was a thoroughly satisfying tour!

お次は船長のウクレレと生歌を聴きながらホヌウォッチングへ!運よくビッグなホヌがボートの前で迎えてくれました。その後は大きなサンゴの沖合でシュノケーリング!シュノケーリングの前には日本人ガイドさんから安全に関わる大切な諸注意を分かりやすく丁寧に説明してくれてとても安心しました。いざ、足ヒレ、マスク、ライフジャケットを着用して着水!透明な海の中にはたくさんの魚とサンゴがいて沖合ならではのシュノケーリングを楽しむことができました。他のお客さんはホヌと泳ぐことができたそうです。羨ましい!また、現地スタッフの方々も安全面に目を光らせていて安心して楽しむことができました。大満足なtourでした!

I was worried about whether it would be sunny in Hawaii for my first visit and if I would be able to communicate in Japanese. On top of that, I was eight months pregnant...
The day I participated was May 18. It was very sunny, and I didn't feel seasick at all. It was incredibly beautiful ( •̤ᴗ•̤ ).
I was able to swim with sea turtles while snorkeling! It was so close, and I was super excited!
Since I was pregnant, everyone was very kind and considerate, so I had nothing to worry about (٩(•ᴗ• ٩).
I would love to participate again once my child is born!
初めてのハワイで、晴れるのかも、日本語通じるかも全くわからなくて心配でした。
なおかつ妊娠8ヶ月で…
参加した日5月18日
すごく晴れてて、船酔いもなく、
すごく綺麗でした( •̤ᴗ•̤ )
シュノーケルで、ウミガメと泳ぐことができました\(^^)/近くて大興奮でした!
私の妊婦ということで
皆さん優しく気遣いたくさんで
なにも心配いらなかったです٩(•ᴗ• ٩)
子供産まれたらまた参加したいです!

I thought there was only one power spot in the cave, but I was taken to multiple places, including the cave, the sea, and the mountains. Being a power spot, it was mystical, and I was able to enjoy the unique scenery of Hawaii. I was looking forward to snorkeling, and I was very satisfied to encounter not only beautiful tropical fish but also an eel and three sea turtles. Next time, I think I will practice using the fins a bit more.
パワースポットは洞窟の1か所だけと思っていたが、洞窟はもちろん海や山、何か所も連れて行ってもらった。パワースポットなので神秘的でありハワイ独特の景色も楽しめた。楽しみにしていたシュノーケリング、きれいな熱帯魚はもちろん、うつぼや三匹の海亀に出会うことができ大満足。次回は、もう少し足ひれの使い方を練習しておこうと思った。
Thank you for your review.
There are power spots scattered throughout West Oahu, and it seems that those who can feel them experience quite a strong energy.
The ocean changes every time, so if you have the opportunity, please continue to go snorkeling; the more you get used to it, the more fun it becomes!
If you have another chance, please join us again.
Aloha,
Akima
レビューありがとうございます。
西オアフにはパワースポットが点在しております、かなり強いパワーがあるようで、感じる方にはすごく感じるみたいですよ。
海は毎回変わります、これからも機会があったら、どんどんシュノーケル行ってみてくださいね、慣れればなれるほど楽しくなりますよ!
また機会がありましたらご参加くださいませ。

Had a great time the first time, I did it again. I did the same thing, got bicycle and rode to the end of Lanikai beach to find that spot I first saw, a secluded beach to myself. However this year was high tide and didn't have the beach, but still enjoyed to peace and quiet though. From there, I traveled all the back to Kailua, and kept on going north until it was time to go back. Then choose Bobs pizza, cannot go wrong. Will I go back and do this again; for sure!!
Thumbs up again on the great customer service, accommodating their customers, the reason of being in business. You can expand your business by start selling seminars on how to conduct great ethical business practices.
Aloha Paul and thank you for the awesome review! Your pictures are excellent as well, what an amazing day!

Captain bobs snorkel tour was a lot of fun. You get taken out to a shallow water area at first, to play around with volleyball, taking water photos, and then they give you a barbecue lunch. Then we're taken into shallow waters further out, but along the way we are looking for large turtle citing a. We saw many large turtles. When we stopped again we were let into the shallow waters(3-4ft) to swim with small fish, and snorkel with a breather pipe, to see live coral, and small fish. The whole time a performer was singing, and playing ukelele on top the ship, a really fun time. I would recommend capt bobs for a fun afternoon!!

After about 15 minutes on the boat, we reached the point where we could see sea turtles. You can only catch a glimpse of them when they come up for air, so it goes by quickly, but it’s quite exciting when you do see them.
After that, we went to the Angel's Sea. The view of the transparent emerald green sea, white sandy beach, blue sky, and white clouds spread out before us was breathtaking! I really felt it was worth going.
After eating a hamburger, we went to the coral reef for snorkeling. Perhaps because the wind was strong, the water clarity wasn't that great that day.
船に乗って15分くらいして、ウミガメが見れるポイントへ。
息継ぎをする瞬間しか見れないので、あっという間ですが、見れたときは結構嬉しいです。
その後に天使の海。透明なエメラルドグリーンの海、白い砂浜、青い空、白い雲が一面に広がっている景色は圧巻です!本当に行って良かったと思いました。
で、ハンバーガーを食べた後にサンゴ礁に行ってシュノーケリング。
風が強かったせいか、この日は海の透明度はそこまで良くなかったです。

The Japanese female tour guide was bright, kind, and provided clear and efficient explanations and support, making it enjoyable. Watching the manta rays eat plankton was thrilling, a mix of a little scary and fun. I'm glad I participated. There were about 20 participants, which felt a bit crowded.
日本人女性のツアーガイドさんが、明るく、優しく、無駄のない、説明やフォローをしてくれ、楽しめました。
マンタがプランクトンを食べる様子は、迫力満点で、ちょっと怖いのと楽しいのが混ざった感じでした。参加して良かったです。
参加者が20人で、ちょっと多かったです。

On the day, the weather was great, and the color of the sea was very beautiful. It was nice to be in the water up to my waist, but it was enjoyable. The staff were cheerful and really lifted our spirits, making it a fun experience. Since we didn't snorkel, we enjoyed the mini cruise. The buffet was also very delicious. I would love to participate again.
当日は天気に恵まれたので、海の色もとてもキレイでした。腰からふくらはぎくらいのところまででしたが、よかったです。スタッフの方達は、明るく気分も盛り上げてくれたので楽しかったです。シュノーケルをしない私達はミニクルーズで楽しめました。バイキングもとても美味しいです。また参加したいです。

Since I experienced various optional tours, this time I decided to go to the West Coast, which I had never been to before. It seemed a bit difficult to go on our own by rental car, so we joined this tour. I encountered a turtle while snorkeling! I was so happy to swim with the turtle. I ended up sleeping in the car on the way back, and I felt sorry for the guide.
色々オプショナルツアーを体験したので、今度は行ったことのない西海岸へ。レンタカーで自分たちで行くにはちょっと難しそうだったので、こちらのツアーに参加しました。シュノーケリングでカメに遭遇!カメと一緒に泳ぐことができて幸せでした。
帰りの車で寝てしまい、ガイドさんに申し訳なかったです。
Thank you for the review. It's quite common for most people to fall asleep in the car on the way back, so please don't worry about it. In fact, when I see someone sleeping, I think it means they were tired = they had a great time, so I don't mind at all. Until we meet again, aloha!

帰りの車で寝てしまうのはほとんどの方がそうなので、お気になさらずに。実は寝てしまうと、疲れた=楽しかったのかな?って思うので全然気にしておりません。

I participated in the afternoon session starting at 12:30. Fortunately, we were the only participants. According to the guide, there were nine participants in the morning session, which seems to be more popular, possibly because it allows for more effective use of time. In the afternoon, the water temperature is warmer, so for those who dislike cold water, the afternoon might be a better option.
The guide, who has lived in Hawaii for over 20 years, shared a lot of information about Hawaii during the round trip, which was very helpful. They also provided thorough instructions during snorkeling. The snorkeling masks were of good quality, designed to prevent water from entering through the nozzle. On that day, there were quite a few waves, and while swimming, I occasionally got splashed, but since water didn’t come in from above, it was easy to swim.
The snorkeling time was about an hour, but it flew by as I was swimming and looking for fish. I couldn't find any turtles, but I was able to see various types of fish, which was enjoyable.
12時30分からの午後の回に参加しました。参加者はラッキーなことに私達だけ。ガイドさんいわく、午前は9人の参加だったそうで、時間を有効に使えるからか、午前のほうが人気とのこと。午後は海の温度が上がっているので午前より水が冷たくないので冷たいのが嫌な方は午後のほうがいいかもしれません。
ハワイで20年以上暮らしているというガイドさんは往復の移動中もハワイのことを色々と教えてくれて、ためになりました。
シュノーケルの際も丁寧に教えてくれます。シュノーケルのマスクはいいもので、ノズルの先から水が入らないようになっています。この日は波がかなりあって、泳いでいるときも時々波をかぶることがあったのですが、上から水が入らないので泳ぎやすかったです。
シュノーケルの時間は1時間程度とのことですが、魚を探して泳いでいたらあっという間に過ぎてしまいました。亀は見つけられませんでしたが、色々な種類の魚を観ることが出来て、楽しかったです。
Thank you for participating in the tour with Blue Hawaii Divers. It’s not often that you get a private tour just for the two of you, so you were lucky! On that day, the tide was high and the waves were quite strong, so I thought sea turtles would come in close. I’m sorry we couldn’t show them to you. However, I’m glad to hear that you enjoyed your time. Please come back again, just the two of you. We are always waiting for you. Thank you. Mahalo!!
この度はブルーハワイダイバースのツアーにご参加いただきまして、ありがとうございます。お二人だけの貸切なんてそう滅多にないので、ラッキーでしたね!この日は満ち潮で波が結構入っていましたから、こんな日はウミガメはインサイドに入ってくるはず!と思っていたのですが、お見せできなくてごめんなさいね。でも楽しんでいただけたようで、嬉しく思います。是非またお二人で来てくださいね。いつでもお待ちしております。
