Exploring the sandbar was easy when the seabed was sandy, but when we got closer to the rocky areas, it was painful on the soles of our feet, and everyone let out little screams. However, wandering underwater was fun. I can't swim at all, and while I didn't snorkel, the participants who dove were all excited about the beautiful sea. It's a shame I couldn't see it! But for those who couldn't dive (like me and a grandmother with small children), we were able to take a sightseeing tour around the area on a motorboat. The crew only spoke English, but chatting with them was enjoyable. The Japanese-speaking guide was also interesting, and the meal exceeded my expectations. Those who dove seemed to get hungry, as they even went back for seconds. Next time, I hope to be able to swim a bit better and challenge myself to try snorkeling again.
サンドバーの散策は砂場状の海底の時は未だ歩きやすいのですが、岩に近い海底面の時は足裏が痛くて皆んなチョット悲鳴をあげたり、海中の散策が面白かったです。全く泳げないのですが、シュノーケリングの時はしませんでしたが、潜った参加者の方々は皆さん楽しいんで綺麗な海の様子に興奮気味でした。見れなくて残念!でも、潜れない人(私と小さいお子様連れのおばあさん)には、モータボートで周りを観光させてくださいました。英語しか喋れないクルーでしたが、お喋りがたのしかったです。日本語でのガイドさんんもおもしろく、食事も結構期待以上の内容でした。潜った人達はやはりお腹が空くのかお代わりまでしていましたよ。次回は少し泳げるようになって、シュノーケリングにチャレンジできるよう、又利用しようと思います。

This year, the rainy season started early, so the water level at the sandbar was higher, which was a bit disappointing! We were able to see sea turtles, but it really depended on the weather. Since the staff member was Japanese, I felt at ease and was able to participate in the tour.
今年は、雨季が早かったため、サンドバーの海水の高さも高く少し残念でした‼︎
海亀も観れましたが、天気次第かなって感じでしたo(TωT)o

I participated for the first time at the strong recommendation of a junior colleague. I was lucky with the weather, but the water temperature was surprisingly low, not quite what you would expect from a southern island's sea. The water level at the sandbar was about knee-deep, so it didn't feel like a floating island. My wife, who participated last year, mentioned that the water level was up to her waist, so perhaps this year was still better.
For lunch, it wasn't the BBQ I had imagined; instead, they served hamburgers made from grilled patties over charcoal. It was delicious.
After playing at the sandbar for about an hour, we moved to a snorkeling spot while viewing sea turtles from the boat. We snorkeled for about an hour, but there weren't many fish. I had a decent time, but considering the cost, I feel that participating once is probably enough.
後輩の強い勧めで初めて参加しました。天候には恵まれラッキーでしたが、水温は意外と低く南の島の海といった感じではなかったです。サンドバーの水位は膝くらいまであり浮島といった感じではありませんでした。一緒に参加した妻が去年参加した時には腰くらいまで水位があったそうなので、まだ良い方なのかも。
ランチはBBQと聞いて想像するBBQではなく、ハンバーグを炭火で焼いてハンバーガーとして提供されました。味は美味しかったです。
サンドバーで1時間くらい遊んだあと,ウミガメがいるスポットを船上から眺めながらスノーケリングスポットへ移動し、1時間くらいスノーケリングをしましたが、魚はあまりいなかったです。それなりに楽しめましたが,料金に対しての満足度からすると1度参加すれば十分かなといった印象です。

I ended up going on a rainy day. Since it was high tide, I only got to see a slightly beautiful sea. While high tide can't be helped, I honestly wish they would cancel on rainy days. (If possible, I think they should offer discounts on days with high tide since they can know in advance.) It was just the sea, cold, the snorkeling was murky, and once it starts, you're stuck for about six hours. The staff were very nice, so I gave it two stars.
雨の日に当たってしまいました。且つ満ち潮だったためただの少し綺麗な海を見れただけといった感じでした。
満ち潮はしょうがないにしても、正直雨の日は中止にしてほしいです。(できれば満ち潮の日も、あらかじめわかるのだから割引してもいいと思う)

My husband and I enjoyed the evening of going out on a canoe and then getting in the water and holding on to a lighted surf board to observing the huge mantas come right up to you! The young crew members were very friendly and helpful. They did provide a wet suit top but I regretted not having my full wet suit. Although it is in the "warm" Hawaiian water- after 30 minutes the water does steal your bodies warmth. So that would be my only suggestion to the average tourist. Despite the cold near the end, it was such a unique encounter that the amazing mantas- we were thrilled!

I was truly moved by participating in the dolphin snorkeling. My husband and I are 70 and 67 years old, respectively, and this was certainly the oldest challenge for us. I had previously experienced a dolphin tour on Oahu with my daughter, so I recommended it to my husband to share that excitement. I'm really glad we participated. We encountered hundreds of dolphins. It was a dreamlike moment. Daisuke, who guided us, put in a lot of effort to make the tour better, and I’ve decided in my heart that I want to participate again next time. Thank you for such a moving day.

I finally went on a long-awaited 5-night, 7-day trip to Hawaii with my friends! I participated in this tour after making a reservation from Japan. Our high-energy tour guide picked us up at the hotel, and we set off for our destination! Since it was early in the morning, everyone on the bus looked sleepy, and many were dozing off, but the tour guide's enthusiastic chatter lifted our spirits. I was a bit worried about the weather since it was raining and I thought we might not see any beautiful scenery.
Once we arrived, we received safety instructions and a tour briefing before setting off on the boat. Suddenly, the sun came out, and the clarity of the ocean deepened! The views of the mountains and the sea were truly breathtaking. When we reached our destination, the boat stopped, and we had some free time. We took photos, went snorkeling, and had a lot of fun playing beach volleyball with other participants and the instructor. There were many people from both Japan and overseas, making it a very enjoyable time.
Afterward, we returned to the boat for lunch! We could customize our hamburgers with our favorite toppings, and the burgers we ate on the boat were delicious. After finishing our meal, we went for sea turtle watching! We moved to a spot with clear waters and were able to see them beautifully. We encountered a very friendly sea turtle that came close to the boat, poking its head out, and it was so cute!
Next, we headed to the snorkeling point. Snorkeling was different from what I imagined; while the ocean was beautiful, the fish were quite large. It wasn't like seeing the small fish like Nemo in Okinawa; instead, there were big fish swimming around. I participated for the whole day, and it was more fun than I expected, truly creating wonderful memories of Hawaii. Thank you!

I participated on December 8th. December in Hawaii is the rainy season, and it was rainy from the morning. If the weather had been better, the ocean would have looked clearer, but with the bad weather, the ocean was indeed dim. However, it was great to see many tropical fish and sea turtles.
12月8日に参加しました。ハワイの12月は雨季、朝から雨模様でした。天気が良ければもっと海の中は綺麗に見えたのでしょうが、やはり天気が悪いと海の中も薄暗く…。でも、多くの熱帯魚とウミガメと会えたのは良かった。
Thank you for participating in the tour. Hawaii is now in winter, and it has been particularly rainy lately. Unfortunately, we instructors cannot change the weather... However, on this day, the waves were calm, and the visibility and sea conditions were excellent, allowing us to swim out to the outer area. We headed out from the keyhole and immediately encountered a large school of surgeonfish, a rare sighting of a school of bigeye trevally, and we were able to see two turtles, which I thought would bring you joy, so I feel a bit disappointed. Please come back to Hanauma Bay on a sunny day next time. I hope your wife can join us instead of just observing next time! Thank you very much. Mahalo!!
この度はツアーにご参加いただきましてありがとうございます。ハワイも今は冬になり、最近は特に雨が多くなっています。お天気ばかりは私達インストラクターでも変えることはできないです、、、。でもこの日は波が無くて透明度も海のコンディションも最高に良く、アウトサイドの沖の方まで泳ぐことができた日です。キーホールから沖に向かい、すぐに巨大なシマハギの群れ、めったに見られないビッグアイジャック(ギンガメアジ)の群れ、そして亀は2匹も見ることが出来て、喜んでいただけたかと思っていましたので、ちょっと残念です。ぜひまたお天気の良い時にハナウマ湾に来てくださいね。次回はぜひ奥様も見学では無く、ご一緒にご参加下さいね!!

We came to Hawaii for our honeymoon. Since it was the first time for my family in Hawaii, we chose popular activities. My husband and my family totaled 10 people. I was a bit anxious because my husband's family only speaks English, but there were many native speakers (since it was a Japanese company), and they provided explanations in English, which was great. My mother and mother-in-law, who didn't want to snorkel, were specially taken out on a boat and seemed to enjoy it. The service was very good, and the response from the time of booking was polite and quick, which made me feel at ease.
As for the sea, it was cloudy and occasionally rainy, which made it a bit cold. We did some snorkeling and saw a few fish and turtles, but compared to the beautiful seas I've seen in other countries, it was just okay. Also, there was a long time for taking photos, and my husband's family seemed to be wondering what we were doing during that time.
However, it was a very good experience with my family on our first trip to Hawaii, and I recommend the company for their prompt and flexible service. I just felt that the price was a bit too high, so I give it four stars.
私達のハネムーンでハワイに来ました。家族はハワイが初めてだったので、人気のアクティビティを選びました。夫、私の家族総勢10名。夫の家族は英語しか話せないので不安でしたが、(日本の会社だったので)ネイティブの方もたくさんいらっしゃり、説明も英語でして下さり良かったです。スノーケルをしたくない私の母と義理の母には、わざわざボートを出してくれて楽しめたそうです。サービスはとても良く、予約の時から対応も丁寧でレスポンスも早く安心出来ました。
肝心の海は、曇って雨も時々降ったりと寒かったです。スノーケルもして、少し魚や亀が見れましたが、海や魚の綺麗さは今まで見て来た違う国の海と比べるとまぁまぁ、という感じでした。
あと、写真を撮る時間?みたいなのが長くて夫の家族は、何をする時間??みたいな雰囲気でした。
でも、初めてのハワイで家族とならとてもいい経験だし、会社の方も迅速、フレシキブルな対応でオススメです。
ただ、ちょっと値段が高すぎるので☆四つです。

I participated in early November. I was worried about the cold for the night activity, but thanks to the wetsuit I rented, I didn't feel too cold underwater. If the waiting time underwater is long, it might be tough. Fortunately, we only waited about five minutes, and more than three mantas came to us, which made me forget the cold in amazement. The graceful mantas gliding right in front of me were breathtaking! The bright white bellies of the mantas illuminated by the lights stood out against the night sea, making it feel almost unreal. They kept coming until we got back on the surface, and I enjoyed it until the very end.
Once we got back on the boat, my body felt heavier than I expected, and the cold was tough. I'm glad I brought a thick towel and a windbreaker. Also, despite taking motion sickness medicine, I felt nauseous from the waves and couldn't drink cocoa.
Unfortunately, we couldn't see the sunset, so I’ll give it a ☆-1. However, I was very satisfied with the main manta experience! I would definitely recommend it to my friends.
11月初旬に参加しました。夜のアクティビティのため寒さが心配でしたが、借りたウェットスーツのおかげか水中ではあまり寒さを感じませんでした。水中での待機時間が長いとこたえるかもしれません。幸いにも私たちの場合は5分ほど待っただけで3枚以上のマンタが来てくれたので、感動で寒さも吹き飛びました。目の前を優雅に翻るマンタは圧巻です!ライトに照らされたマンタの真っ白な腹部が夜の海に映え、現実のこととは思えないほどでした。水上に上がるまで繰り返しマンタが来てくれて、最後まで満喫できました。
船上に上がってからは思った以上に体が重く、寒さがこたえました。厚手のタオルとウインドブレーカーを持って行ってよかったです。また、酔い止め薬を飲んで行ったのにも関わらず波酔いをしたのか、胸がむかむかしてココアが飲めませんでした。
残念ながら夕日が見られなかったので、☆-1つ。でも、メインのマンタを満喫できたので大満足です!友達にも勧めたいと思います。

We were lucky to see whales while moving between spots, and we were very satisfied to see wild turtles as well. The boat rocked a lot. Even after taking motion sickness medication, I felt nauseous. A foreigner who boarded with us ended up vomiting. It became a very good memory. I definitely recommend participating when visiting Maui.

You can enjoy sea activities and turtle watching at the sandbar after moving 3 points by boat, as well as snorkeling. The turtles were especially cute. We split into two boats, one for Japanese guests and one for international guests. Onboard, we had a hamburger lunch, and after snorkeling, warm drinks were provided. The boat was comfortable, equipped with restrooms, and there was no worry about theft of valuables. However, on bad weather days, it might be a bit cold after snorkeling. Since it can be chilly when wet, a beach towel is essential, and it would also be good to have a towel to sit on during the bus ride back. The snorkeling point may vary depending on the day's wave conditions, but the visibility was not as high as expected, around 5 meters. If you're lucky, you might swim with turtles; on the day we participated, some people did swim with them. I definitely want to join again on a nice day, but since it's a popular tour, it's necessary to make a reservation early. The weather in Hawaii can change quickly even during the rainy season, so even if rain is forecasted, there may be sunny intervals, so you can relax.
船で3ポイント移動して、サンドバーでの海遊びとウミガメウォッチング、スノーケリングを楽しめます。
特にウミガメが可愛かったです。
船は2台に分かれて乗りましたが、1つは日本人向け、1つはインターナショナルです。
船の中でハンバーガーのランチが頂けたり、スノーケリングの後は暖かいドリンクも用意されていて、また、トイレ完備、貴重品盗難の心配もない、快適な空間でした。
ただし、天気が悪い日は、スノーケリングの後、少し寒いかもしれません。
濡れていると寒いので、ビーチタオルは必須ですが、帰りのバスでお尻の下に敷くタオルもあると良いでしょう。
スノーケリングポイントはその日の波の状況にもよると思いますが、思いの外透明度は高くありませんでした。5メートルくらいでしょうか。
運が良ければ、ウミガメと一緒に泳げます。実際に参加した日もウミガメと泳げた人もいました。
また、天気がいい日に是非参加したいところですが、人気のツアーのため、早めに予約しておく必要があります。
ハワイの天気は雨季でもコロコロ変わるので、雨の予報でも晴れ間は出ますので、安心して下さい。

Watching the dolphins move, I participated without any expectations and was pleasantly surprised to see them swimming slowly. Moreover, since it was in shallow waters, I felt very lucky.
At the turtle spot, the turtles were hiding among the rocks on the sea floor, and I regretted not taking off my wetsuit to get in. For those who can dive deeper, I recommend wearing a rash guard or similar for warmth and definitely taking off the wetsuit.

The crew was very kind, which made me feel at ease. The captain was also nice, and Ally provided explanations in Japanese, which was very helpful. We took a helicopter ride to the manta point, and it felt like an attraction similar to a banana boat. The sunset visible from the boat was incredibly beautiful and moving. I was worried about seasickness, as mentioned in other reviews, but I didn't experience any at all.
We held onto the rope attached to the surfboard and waited for the manta rays to come close. At first, they didn't appear at all, which made me anxious, but we moved to another spot where we could see the mantas. When I finally saw them, the experience was so powerful and moving.
On the way back, we were treated to hot chocolate and snacks, which was a nice surprise. The night view from the boat was also beautiful.
今回初めてのハワイ島でした。友人におすすめされて、参加しました。以前は、イルカのツアーをオアフ島で参加したので、見たことがないマンタにしました。
クルーの方もすごく優しくて、安心しました。学長さんも優しく、アリーちゃんも日本語で説明してくれたので、助かりました。
マンタのポイントまで、船のヘリに乗って、バナナボートのようなアトラクション気分で行きました。その際に、船から見える夕陽は、とても綺麗で感動しました。皆さんのレビューにあった船酔いが心配でしたが、全くそれは無かったです。
サーフボードに付いてる紐を持って、ひたすらマンタが近寄ってくるのを待つ感じでした。初めは全然現れなくて、不安でしたが、ポイントを移動して、マンタが見れるようにしてくれました。実際マンタを見ると、迫力がすごくて、とても感動しました。
帰りには、ホットチョコレートと、スナックの差し入れがあり、嬉しかったです。船から見える夜景も綺麗でした。
ALOHA!
Thank you for participating in the tour!
I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed it.
Please join us again when you come back to the Big Island.

It was worth the money. Staff was courteous, friendly, and all around had the island hospitality. Seeing the turtles was a great adventure. I think we will go again.

I thought manta rays were something to see at an aquarium (laughs), so I was really looking forward to this tour. Since it was a meet-up plan, I drove there with a rental car, but the meeting spot in the large harbor was a bit hard to find. It's best to allow a little extra time♪
The other participants were from overseas (maybe America?), and our guide, a very cute and cheerful girl named Ari, guided us in perfect Japanese as we traveled by boat for about 20 minutes to the point. It felt amazing; even though it was a small boat, the sensation of cutting through the wind and racing across the evening sea was the best. We encountered wild dolphins along the way, and they even stopped the boat for a bit, allowing us to see them up close. It seemed like the dolphins were coming over to us!
When we arrived at the manta point, we held onto a board with blue lights to watch the mantas. I was shocked to see them so close! I observed their large mouths, round eyes, and even the tips of their tails. It felt like they were dancing around, which was a strange sensation. I had imagined it would be more like just seeing them glide by, so it was quite a surprise.
Of course, since it was nighttime on the way back and my wetsuit was wet, please make sure to bring a bath towel and a windbreaker. The starry sky we saw on the way back was a breathtaking view with the majestic mountains over the sea.
マンタは水族館で見るものだと思っていたので(笑)、このツアーを知って楽しみにしていました。
現地集合プランだったので、レンタカーで行きましたが広いハーバー内、集合場所はちょっと分かりにくかったです。少し時間に余裕をもって♪
他の参加者の方は海外の方たち(アメリカかな?)でしたが、とってもかわいくて明るいガイドのアリちゃんに、ばっちり日本語でガイドしてもらいながら20分ほど船でポイントまで行きます。これがとっても気持ち良くて、小さい船ですが風を切って夕方の海を疾走する感覚は最高でした。途中で野生のイルカにも遭遇して、少し船を止めてくれたのですごく近くで見ることができたし、イルカの方も寄ってきてくれてるようでした!
マンタポイントに着いて、ブルーライトの付いたボードにつかまってマンタを見るのですが、『えっ!こんなに近くで見れるの?!マンタってこんな姿をしてるんだ!』って、大きな口やつぶらな目、しっぽの先までマンタを隅々まで観察できました。くるくるとダンスをしてくれてるようでもあり、不思議な感覚でした。『すーっと通りすぎるのを見る』みたいなイメージだったので、びっくりしました。
さすがに、帰りは夜ですしウェットスーツも濡れてるのでバスタオルやウインドブレーカーをちゃんと持っていって下さいね。帰りに見た星空も、海の上で雄大な山々と共にのぞむ絶景でしたよ。
ALOHA!!

Fun few hours kayaking and snorkeling with Natasha and Sho. Our guides looked after us and had good knowledge of the area. We even managed to see dolphins on our way back to shore which was an added bonus.

I went to Sandbar, which I had wanted to visit for a long time, for my honeymoon. There were a lot of customers, and they made burgers on the boat, and we enjoyed activities like snorkeling and sea turtle watching. However, the weather was cloudy, so it was a bit chilly, and we couldn't play in the water. My husband enjoyed snorkeling by himself, though.
I recommend checking the tide schedule and making a reservation in advance since the water level changes with the tides. The shuttle bus was too cold due to the air conditioning, so please bring a warm outer layer. Also, I saw someone who got injured by bumping into coral, so I think it's best to stay away from the coral while snorkeling to enjoy it safely.
前から行ってみたかったサンドバーへ新婚旅行で行きました。
とても沢山のお客さんで船ではバーガーを作ってくれたり、シュノーケルや海ガメウォッチングなど楽しかったです。
ただ…天気が曇りだったので肌寒く海遊びができませんでした。
主人は一人でシュノーケル楽しんでましたが…
また潮の満ち引きで水位が変わるため、事前に調べて予約を取ることをお勧めします。
送迎のバスは冷房が効きすぎて寒いので厚手の羽織物を持参してください。
あとは珊瑚に足をぶつけてケガしていた人もいるので、シュノーケルする際は珊瑚に近づきすぎない様にすれば安全に楽しめると思います。

This was my second attempt at the Molokini Island snorkeling tour, but unfortunately, we couldn't go to Molokini Island due to the unfavorable wind direction. I couldn't go last time either. (Tears) We ended up snorkeling at a different spot (and I did see a sea turtle), but now I will try again for a third time! Until I can go to Molokini Island.
今回は二回目挑戦のモロキニ島シュノーケリングツアーでしたが、残念ながら風の向きが悪く
モロキニ島には行けませんでした。前回も行けず。(涙)
違うポイントでのシュノーケリングになりましたが(ウミガメも見れました)
こうなったら3回目に挑戦します!モロキニ島に行けるまで。
