Dolphin Sensei and Professor Turtle イルカ先生とカメ教授

Reviewed by: MIO

The morning gathering was very early, but the guide explained everything in a lively manner, making the bus ride enjoyable. However, since all the necessary information was provided on the bus, I thought it might be better to use a microphone, as there were times when it was hard to hear.

We boarded the boat at the port and set sail. On the day I went, I was very lucky and was able to see a pod of dolphins about ten minutes after leaving the port, and I also spotted two turtles. When we found the dolphins, we went ahead, and at the captain's signal, we jumped into the sea. The water was incredibly clear, and you could see the bottom. Watching the dolphins swim effortlessly right next to us was truly beautiful, and I couldn't take my eyes off them. When we found another pod of dolphins, the instructor swimming with us gave directions like "toward the mountains" and "out to sea," and we swam in that direction. After swimming for a while, we got back on the boat and repeated the process at different points. According to the explanation, there are times when it’s hard to find dolphins, and you might swim for a longer time. I thought that could be tough for those without much stamina, so I was glad we saw them quickly.

Throughout the trip from the port to the boat and back, a photographer was with us, taking commemorative photos and capturing beautiful shots of the dolphins and turtles. On the return bus, they provided information about purchasing the photos, so I felt we didn't have to force ourselves to take pictures during the tour.

When we got out of the water, they had cookies and cheese prepared, but since it was cold, the warm tea was the most delicious. It was the end of May, and I was glad I wore a wetsuit. I thought it would be chilly with the wind on my wet body while moving on the boat.

Overall, it was a very satisfying tour. Thank you very much to all the staff!

朝の集合はとても早かったですが、ガイドさんがとてもテンポよく説明してくれるので、バスの移動時間も楽しく過ごせました。ただ、必要なことはすべてバスの中で説明されるので、マイクを使ったほうがいいのでは…と思うこともありました。聞こえづらいこともあったので…。
港でボートに乗りいざ出航。私が行った日は、とても運がよく、港を出て１０分ほどでイルカの群れに会うことができ、カメも２匹は見ることができました。イルカの群れを見つけたら、先回りして、船長の合図で海に飛び込みます。海はすごくきれいで、底が見えるほどでした。自分たちがいるところのすぐそばをイルカがすいすい泳いでいく様子は、本当にきれいで、目が離せませんでした。また新たなイルカの群れを見つけたら、一緒に潜っているインストラクターが「山のほう」「沖のほう」と指示を出してくれ、そちらに泳ぎます。しばらく泳いだらボートに上がり、また違うポイントで海に入って泳ぎ…を繰り返しました。説明によると、なかなかイルカの群れに会えず、もっと長い時間泳ぐこともあるそうです。体力がない人にはそれは大変だなぁと思いました。すぐ見れてよかった。
港からボートに乗りまた港に帰ってくるまで、ずっとカメラマンさんがいてくれます。ちょこちょこ記念撮影をしてくれ、イルカやカメの写真もとてもきれいに撮ってくれています。帰りのバスで、写真購入の案内をしてくれるので、ツアー中は無理に自分たちで写真を撮らなくても大丈夫だと思いました。
海から上がったときには、クッキーバーやチーズを用意してくれていますが、寒いので温かいお茶が一番おいしかったです。５月末でしたが、ウェットスーツを着用してよかったです。海から上がったあと、ボートで移動するときは濡れた体に風が当たり、寒くなると思うので…。
全体的には大満足のツアーでした。スタッフの皆さん、本当にありがとうございました。

Snorkeling was also fun, as I saw a lot of fish. Unfortunately, I couldn't see any sea turtles, although some people did spot them. Personally, I found the hamburger for lunch to be very delicious.

Hello to the dolphins and sea turtles! イルカもウミガメもこんにちわ！

Reviewed by: 小岩村

I was so excited! When Julie signaled us to "look down!", I put my face in the water with the snorkel and saw a school of about 50 dolphins swimming slowly by. Hello! There were even some smaller dolphins. While I was watching, I didn’t realize I was being swept away, and when I lifted my head, I thought, "Oh no, where did everyone go?" Since I’m not confident in my swimming, I was able to borrow a floating ring to hold onto, which made me feel safe entering the ocean. It was very early in the morning, so I got hungry, and I was really grateful for the bread, drinks, and fruit provided by the staff. Thank you very much! The water in Hawaii is said to have different minerals, and even after getting out of the ocean, it felt strangely refreshing and not sticky. I could ride the bus back without needing a shower, just drying off with a towel.

Actually, I went dolphin watching on the Big Island four years ago. I couldn’t forget how much fun it was, so I wanted to try it on Oahu this time, and it was just as I expected. I’m happy to have had my picture taken; it became a wonderful memory.

もう大興奮です。ジュリさんの【下を見て～！】の合図でシュノーケルで水面に顔を付けると５０頭くらいはいる群れで、ゆっくり泳いできます。こんにちわ！少し小さい子供のイルカもいました。見ているうちに自分が流されていることに気が付かなくて、顔あげたらあれ～みんなは何処？ってことにもなります。泳ぎに自信が無いので、つかまるタイプの浮き輪も借りれますので、安心して海に入れます。朝がとても早かったのでお腹が空いてしまって、スタッフからのパンや、飲み物・果物大変ありがたかったです。ありがとうございました。ハワイの海はミネラルが違うとかで海から上がっても不思議とサラリとしていてべとつきません。シャワーを浴びなくてもタオルドライだけでバスに乗って帰ってこれます。
実は４年前にハワイ島でイルカウォッチングしました。その時の楽しさが忘れられなくて、オアフ島でもやってみたくて今回申し込みしました。期待通りのツアーでした。写真撮ってもらってうれしいです。大変良い記念になりました。

Four Winds Deluxe Molokini Snorkel Tour with Breakfast, Taco Bar Lunch & Drinks

Four Winds Snorkel BBQ to Molokini

Reviewed by: John Mandy

Very disappointing. We paid for a trip to Molokini. We were told that it was too rough to snorkel there. Instead, we were taken to Coral Gardens. What they didn't tell us was that Coral Gardens can be accessed from the beach off of Hwy 30. It was very close to the harbor and even though the water was clear, there were few fish. I felt as if I had been cheated. We spent over $100 each and expected to snorkel at the Molokin crater. We talk with some other visitors who went with a different company. They told us how wonderful it was. I don't recommend this company. We booked ahead. Next time we will book when we get to Maui.

I've taken three different groups on three different manta swims and this one was the best! I really liked how we were tethered to the boat so that inexperienced snorkelers and people that got cold could easily climb back on the boat while the rest of us could continue to enjoy the mantas. Because we were on the moonlight swim, we were in the harbor by ourselves by the end. All the mantas (four total that night) were ours to observe. It was awesome.

This is really a must-do for your Big Island trip.

I arrived about an hour after low tide, but the water depth was around 20 centimeters, and there were no sandy areas visible as shown in the photos. As mentioned in other reviews, it seems that the area where boats can dock is determined by the company, and larger boats were parked in the areas where the sand was visible. Still, the scenery was beautiful, and I was able to see sea turtles, which was really fun. I almost didn't have enough time!

干潮から1時間後くらいに到着しましたが、水深は20センチくらいで写真のように砂地が見えているところはありませんでした。

Wild dolphins!! 野生のイルカ！！

Reviewed by: 戸田隼人

The main event we had planned for the last day of our stay in Hawaii. We gathered at a nearby hotel at 6:20 AM. I thought I would sleep on the bus, but staff member Julie kept the atmosphere lively with stories about Hawaii and dolphins, so I couldn't sleep at all. (laughs)

On the bus, they provide information about the day's schedule and tips for swimming with dolphins, so I recommend staying awake and listening intently.

As we approached the ocean, we were asked about renting wetsuits. The rental fee was $10, and all the women borrowed one. I had a desire to get a tan, so I didn't rent a wetsuit, but surprisingly, the sea breeze on the boat was strong, and the seawater wasn't that warm offshore, so I thought it might have been better to rent one.

Once we arrived at the port and changed into our swimsuits, we set off! We departed with about 25 participants and a crew of four, including the captain. Cruising with the wild mountains of Hawaii in the background while feeling the wind was incredibly pleasant—pure bliss. Just this alone was refreshing.

There seem to be various routes, but we first headed north to search for dolphins. After about 15 minutes of searching without success, we decided to head south. With information from other tour boats, we searched for about 40 minutes... and finally encountered a large pod of dolphins!

The atmosphere on the boat became frantic! I quickly put on my life jacket and snorkel. At the captain's signal of "GO!", all participants dove into the sea. At that moment, a group of about 30 dolphins approached us, swimming right beneath us. I couldn't help but shout "Wow!" underwater.

After that, we tried to predict the dolphins' path while swimming hard to get ahead of them. Even for someone like me who exercises regularly, it was quite intense, but if we didn't get ahead, we wouldn't see the dolphins, so everyone was swimming with great determination.

Fortunately, we were able to swim with the dolphins several times and returned to the boat feeling completely satisfied both physically and mentally. The thrill of encountering wild dolphins in the ocean is something you can't experience often, so I was really glad to have participated in the tour.

After returning to the port and changing, we headed back, but everyone was sound asleep in the car, likely due to exhaustion. (laughs) The car was a bit chilly, so please dress warmly on your way back.

With the cruising experience, the dolphin encounter, and the fun staff, it was a very satisfying last day in Hawaii. Thank you to all the staff!

ハワイ滞在の最終日に予定していたメインイベント。
朝早く6時20分に近くのホテルに集合です。バスの中で寝ようと思っていたのですが、スタッフのジュリーさんがハワイやイルカのお話で車内を盛り上げまくるので、一切寝られず。（笑）
バスの中で、1日のスケジュールやイルカと泳ぐ際のポイントを教えてもらえるので、寝ずに一生懸命聞くことをお勧めします。
海に近づくと、ウェットスーツの貸し出しを聞かれます。貸出料は10ドルでしたが、女性の方々は全員借りていました。私は日焼けをしたいという願望もあり、ウェットスーツは借りませんでしたが、案外と船上では海風が強く、海水も沖合ではそこまで温かくないので、借りても良かったかな〜と思いました。
港に着き、水着になったらいざ出発！25名ほどの参加者と、キャプテンをはじめとするクルー4名と共に出航です。
ハワイの野性味あふれる山々をバックに風を感じながらのクルージング。すごく気持ちよく、至福の一言。これだけでも、爽快です。
様々なコースがあるようですが、まずは北上し、イルカを全員で探します。15分ほど探しましたが、見つからない為、南下してみることに。他のツアー船からの情報も参考に、探すこと40分ほど、、、ついにイルカの大群とご対面！
慌ただしくなる船上！私も急いでライフジャケットとシュノーケルをセット。キャプテンのGO!という合図に参加者全員が海へダイブ。その瞬間、30頭位のイルカの群れが私たちに近づき、真下を通過していきました。
思わず、うぉ〜！と水中で叫んでしまいました。
その後は旋回するイルカの進路を予想しながら、先回りを試み、ハードに泳ぎます。普段運動している私でもかなりハードでしたが、先回りしないとイルカには会えないので、皆さん一心不乱に泳いでいました。
幸いにも、何度かイルカの大群と泳ぐことができ、心身ともに大満足で船に戻りました。
野生のイルカと海の中で出会った感動はなかなか味わうことが出来ないので、ツアーに参加出来て本当に良かったです。
港に戻り、着替えて帰路に着いたのですが、帰りの車内は、疲労困憊のせいもあり皆さん爆睡でした。（笑）
車内は少し冷えるので、暖かい格好でおかえりください。
クルージング気分あり、イルカとのご対面あり、楽しいスタッフの皆さんあり、大満足のハワイ最終日となりました。スタッフの皆さんありがとうございました！

I experienced snorkeling for the first time at Hanauma Bay. While there are cheaper tours available, I was glad I opted for a guided tour. The ocean was beautiful, the weather was great, and I was taken out further, which made for a wonderful experience. It seemed to be a rare day, but I was able to encounter many turtles, making it a precious day.

I had an incredibly fun time! むちゃくちゃ楽しかったです！

Reviewed by: nikuatsu

It was our first time in Hawaii for our honeymoon, and our first time snorkeling as well. I was surprised at how many people participated compared to other activities, but we took a bus to the boat harbor, where we boarded the boat and were entertained by the high-energy crew from that point on.

While cruising towards the sandbar, we looked for sea turtles and managed to catch a glimpse of them a few times. However, since it was just a fleeting moment, I think those who want to fully enjoy sea turtles should consider participating in a tour that focuses on them, like those on the North Shore.

Once we arrived at the sandbar, we took a lot of photos first, and then put on our snorkeling masks and moved to a deeper area to enjoy snorkeling. It had been a while since I swam, but thanks to the life jacket, I was able to focus on and enjoy snorkeling without any worries. There were various types of fish, and even as a first-time snorkeler, I had a great time. If I could wish for anything, it would have been nice to have a bit more time to enjoy snorkeling.

I believe that snorkeling will definitely be an essential activity for our next trip to Hawaii.

ハネムーンでお互い初のハワイで、初のシュノーケリングでした。
他のアクティビティに比べて、想像以上に多くの人達が参加されていたのに最初驚きましたが、ボートハーバーにバスで向かい、そこでボートに乗り、その段階からテンションの高いクルーの方たちに楽しませてもらえました。

サンドバーに向かう間にウミガメを探しながらのクルージングでしたが、何度か一瞬見かけるウミガメを見ることが出来ました。（但し、あくまでも一瞬だったので、ウミガメを十分に堪能されたい方は、このアクティビティではなく、ノースショアの観光のコースなどでウミガメを見ることが出来そうなものに参加されたほうが良いと思います。）

サンドバーに到着したら、そこでまずはひとしきり写真を撮り、その後シュノーケルのマスクなどを付けて、深い場所に移動しシュノーケリングを楽しみました。
随分と水泳も久々でしたが、ライフジャケットのおかげで全く心配なくシュノーケリングに集中して楽しめました。
色々な種類のお魚さんが居て、初めてのシュノーケリングでも十分楽しめました。
欲を言えばもうちょっとシュノーケリングを楽しむ時間があったら良かったなぁと思いました。

次回ハワイに行ったらシュノーケリングはまず欠かせないアクティビティになったと思います。

The sandbar only appears during low tide, and when I went, it was high tide, with the water up to my waist. However, during the sunny moments, both the sea and the scenery were amazing. It rained partway through, and the water got murky, so snorkeling was... But I would love to participate again when it's sunny!

サンドバーは干潮の時間にしか砂浜が現れず、私が行った時には満潮で、水面は腰のあたりまでありました。それでも晴れていた時間帯は海も景色も最高でした。途中に雨が降り、水が濁ったのでシュノーケルは・・。だったのですが、晴れているときにもう一度参加したいです！

Thank you very much for your assistance this time!
I participated with a friend!

Since we rented a car, we met at the location. There were several tours and meeting points, and although we searched a bit, the roads were wide, so we had no problems and quickly found the place by asking the locals!
We gathered at 10 AM, so after enjoying a leisurely breakfast, we were able to act without any rush, which made for a wonderful time! I was thrilled to unexpectedly spot a sea turtle at the pier!
We boarded a boat with about 10 people and moved to Captain Cook's location, but we spotted a whale along the way, and we stopped several times for everyone to take photos! I appreciated that consideration!
Once we arrived at the snorkeling point, we snorkeled for about an hour and a half, and enjoyed sandwiches for lunch on the boat! The sea was beautiful, with so many gorgeous fish! It felt just like being in an aquarium! Occasionally, we heard a squeaking sound... it was dolphins!
The foreign participants in the same tour were all very nice, and we had fun conversations. It seems there are many tourists from various places!
An hour and a half went by in no time! On the way back, we stopped at a breathtaking canyon point, allowing us to enjoy not just snorkeling but other delights as well!
Just be aware that you will get sunburned, so sunscreen is definitely necessary... I got incredibly burned, which turned into quite a situation, but it's also a great memory!
When we returned to the port, we discovered another sea turtle!! Seeing it twice was amazing!!

We arrived at the port at 3 PM, so we were able to shop and sightsee in the northern part of the Big Island. Honokohau Marina is in a great location, which was another charm!

I had an experience that is hard to come by in Japan! I was healed by seeing various fish in the beautiful sea, and since we only spent a little over an hour in the water, I didn't feel tired at all. It was just the right amount of time, and if I have the chance to go to the Big Island again, I would definitely like to participate again!

Thank you very much!

An emotional experience☆ 感動の体験☆

Reviewed by: にょにょ☆

On the fourth day in Hawaii, we gathered at 6:25 AM.

Following reviews, it was a great decision to have breakfast beforehand. The weather was wonderful, and the breeze was pleasant, allowing us to participate without getting seasick.

On the bus ride there, there was so much explanation until we arrived that I couldn't sleep! (laughs) I participated in May, and it was a bit chilly, so I rented a wetsuit. The sea was quite cold, and even with the wetsuit, I felt cold.

About 20 minutes after departure, we spotted wild dolphins near Aulani! There were nearly 50 in the pod. When we signaled to dive, I could hear their squeaks underwater. From that point on, it was a dolphin parade! Every time I heard a squeak, I looked around, and there was a dolphin right below me! It was so moving! I even saw a baby dolphin, and I could clearly see the color of their skin!

After that, we headed to a turtle spot, but unfortunately, we didn't see any... Instead, we encountered dolphins again. (laughs)

I made one basic mistake… (T_T) Before diving into the sea, the battery of my waterproof camera died… What a shock!!

It seems that swimming with dolphins is already banned on some islands in Hawaii, and it's only a matter of time for Oahu as well. It's a very valuable experience, so I highly recommend it! And when I go to Hawaii again, I will go back to graduate from middle school once more! Thank you very much.

Whether sand comes out or not depends on luck. 砂が出てくるかどうかは運次第

Reviewed by: SWH

Whether the sand appears on land depends on the timing and the state of the low tide that day, so whether you can see a scene like the one in the photo is a matter of luck. During our visit, it was after the peak of low tide in the afternoon, and the water was up to our shins, so it wasn't the sandbar like in the photo, but it was still very beautiful and satisfying.

I recommend seeing a sandbar at least once when you come to Hawaii.

砂が陸に出てくるかどうかは時期やその日の引き潮の状態次第なので、写真のような光景が見れるかどうかは運次第です。私たちの時は、引き潮のピークが過ぎた午後からで、スネあたりまでは水に浸かり、写真のようなサンドバーではなかったですが、それでも大変綺麗で満足しました。
ハワイに来たらサンドバーは一度は見ることをお勧めします。

ハワイ島　オーシャンラフティング＆シュノーケルリングツアー ＜英語ガイド／食事付き＞

I participated in ocean rafting for the first time!!! 初めてのオーシャンラフティングに参加してきました!!!

Reviewed by: sonoe

I took a taxi to the location, and as we approached the port, I looked around for the blue roof as a landmark, which made it easy to spot the various tour companies lined up. Of course, I arrived without being late for the meeting time. The check-in was all in English, but there was also a Japanese instruction manual, and after signing in, I finally boarded the boat. Since it was my first time rafting, I felt like I might be overwhelmed by the speed of the boat and the wind, but it was refreshing, and the sea and sky were truly blue and amazing! Along the way, we encountered some dolphins and whales, and we arrived at the destination, Kealakekua Bay, where snorkeling time began. This was my first time using a waterproof case for my smartphone, and I took pictures underwater myself... it was so much fun! I was completely absorbed in it!

The pineapple and oranges that the captain prepared were incredibly delicious. By the time lunch was over, we spotted some dolphins swimming a little further out in the bay, so we slowly approached them by boat, and about ten dolphins were playing around us. It was my first time seeing wild dolphins up close like this. After enjoying snorkeling time once more, we headed back along the coastline, where we could see impressive views that you can't appreciate from land. The only downside was that I couldn't understand English. It would have been even better if I could have understood the captain's explanations... That said, I still had a great time despite not understanding everything. Also, when taking a taxi, the driver made a reservation for the return trip, but I think it's good to allow a little extra time when deciding on the pickup time. We ended up making the driver wait for 30 minutes, so we had to give an extra tip.

現地までは、タクシーで行き車が港に近づくと青い屋根が目印ということだったので見つけるべくキョロキョロしましたが、いろいろなツアーの会社が並んでいてすぐにわかりました。もちろん集合時間に遅れることなく到着しました。受付ではすべて英語でしたが、日本語の説明書もありサインをしていよいよボートに乗り込みました。ラフティングが初めてだったのでボートの速さと風に負けそうでしたが、何より爽快だし海も空も本当に青く最高でした！途中アヒや鯨の仲間に遭遇しながら目的のケアラケクア湾に到着しシュノーケルタイムが始まりました。今回スマホの水中ケース初使用で海の中を自分でとりました…楽しいです！夢中になります！
キャプテンがカットして用意してくれたパインとオレンジが、めちゃくちゃおいしかった。ランチタイムが終わる頃、湾の中の少し遠くでイルカが泳いでいたのでボートで少しずつ近づいて行くと周りを１０頭くらいのイルカたちが遊んでいます。こんなに近くで野生にイルカを見たのも初めてです。もう1度シュノーケルタイムを楽しんだ後、帰りは海岸線に沿ってボートは進みますが、陸の上からでは眺めることの出来ない迫力ある景色をみることができました。残念なことは私が英語を理解できないこと。もしキャプテンの説明が理解できていたらもっと良かったでしょう…とはいえわからないなりにも十分楽しめました。それとタクシーで行く場合、運転手が帰りの迎えの予約もしてくれましたが、少し時間を余裕をみて時間を決めると良いと思います。私達は30分待たせたのでチップを余計に払うことになりました。

Oahu Spinner Dolphin Tour on the Waianae Coast with Snorkeling, Lunch & Hotel Transportation

Turtles are still slow in the water, works for this activity..

Reviewed by: -PAUL-

First time doing this. Thoroughly enjoyed it between the dolphins and turtle. I found a turtle by my lonesome, shared with everyone, but I guess there was more action somewhere else. I swam with the turtle as it slowly rose up to surface to get a breathe of air that took no more than one second. Then it went on its way. I don't have pictures of that experience to share, but I did have a go pro recording the whole time. So I have that to take with me the rest of my life.
Needs to said, there is a catch. If you want more interaction with mammal sea life, there is another activity that gets your first hand, up close and personal. However you are in a control environment. Whereas this activity is in the ocean; wildlife, so more than dolphins and turtles to experience(depending on the time of year too).

If I am allowed to edit this post, and also allow to post a hyperlink to a YouTube video, I will post that turtle swim.

2.5-Hour Waikiki Guided Turtle Snorkel Tour, Snacks & Drinks - Holokai Catamaran

Excellent

Reviewed by: Angela

The crew (Captain Ryan, Philippe, and Erica) were awesome! Super FUN tribe of professionals. The excursion itself was amazing, even for a short trip to see the turtles. I was very impressed with how the crew worked with people who weren't strong swimmers-- very gentle and encouraging. An overall awesome excursion-- I highly recommend!

We are return customers for the Four Winds & they didn't disappoint ! We did the afternoon trip this time & the weather was pretty choppy, but we were able to snorkel in another area that was also fabulous! The photographer on board was awesome & got some amazing photos of us! Thanks for a great time!

Kailua Beach & Lanikai Day Pass with Included Gear, Free Parking and Optional Waikiki Transportation

Seclusion in the ocean.

Reviewed by: -PAUL-

I borrowed a bike and rode south to the farthest part of the beach. It was secluded from everyone which made time more enjoyable. Less noise, more ocean. I snorkeled most of the day and relaxed. Again, very enjoyable.
However, the business and its employees is different story. They were wonderful, helpful, attentive, whatever other synonym out there that reflects on how a business should be.

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＞

It became a great memory! 良い思い出になりました！

Reviewed by: johnny

I have been to Hawaii several times, but this was my first time participating in a sandbar tour. It was a morning-only tour, but I didn't feel that the time was too short. In fact, it was great to have a focused experience and make good use of the afternoon. The guide was entertaining, and the crew members were very kind.

The sandbar itself appeared up to my ankles, so I was very satisfied with that. I was able to take some great photos. The snorkeling gear was in good condition, and the life jacket was easy to use. I also brought a rash guard and a beach towel for warmth.

If I had known how good this was, I would have experienced a sandbar tour much earlier. I definitely want to participate again next time.

数回ハワイに行っていますが、サンドバーのツアーには初めて参加しました。
午前中のみのツアーでしたが特に時間が短いとは感じませんでした。むしろ短期集中で午後を有効活用できて良かったです。
ガイドさんのしゃべりも面白くクルーの皆さんも大変親切でした。
肝心のサンドバーはくるぶしくらいまで出現してくれましたので、こちらも大満足です。
良い写真も撮れました。
シュノーケリングセットも状態が良く、ライフジャケットも使いやすかったです。
寒さ対策でラッシュガードとビーチタオルも持参しました。
こんなに良いものならもっと早くサンドバーのツアーを経験しておけば良かったです。
次回も是非参加したいと思います。

Four Winds Deluxe Molokini Snorkel Tour with Breakfast, Taco Bar Lunch & Drinks

Great Staff!

Reviewed by: Shelley Gehlbach

I snorkeled out at Molokini when I was 10 years old and was really happy to make it back 30 years later. I did notice a big difference in the reef and diminished marine life, however, and would suggest for the benefit of that particularly sensitive environment, that it be strongly suggested to guests to buy reef-safe suntan lotion.

That said, the captain was a riot, the staff was all very friendly, and the experience was well worth the money and time spent :)

ハナウマ湾シュノーケリング　ベテラン日本語ガイドがご案内する少人数制ツアー　貸切プランあり＜半日/水中写真付き＞

The service was excellent! サービスは大満足です！

Reviewed by: kim

We went on a 5-night, 7-day trip to Hawaii for our honeymoon, and the day we used the service was the third day of our entire itinerary. I had previously done snorkeling in Okinawa and its islands, so I was really looking forward to it.

However, due to the extremely low tide during a big tide, the population density was very high, there were few entry points, and the variety of marine life we could see was somewhat limited, so I apologize for my somewhat harsh evaluation, but I will say I was "satisfied."

That said, the hospitality of the two staff members was wonderful, and I would definitely recommend this to anyone wanting to enjoy marine leisure with family or friends. When we visited, we were paired with a couple from America and a Japanese family (three generations), and everyone seemed to be having a great time.

Next time, I would like to visit when the tide conditions are better! Thank you very much for your service!

ハネムーンで５泊７日でハワイ旅行に行き、利用させて頂いた当日は全行程の3日目でした。
以前に沖縄本島や離島でシュノーケリングをしたことがあり、非常に楽しみにしていました。
当日は大潮？のド干潮で人口密度が非常に高かったこと、エントリー出来るところが少なかったこと、見れた生き物の種類がやや少なかったため評価が辛めで申し訳ないですが『満足』とさせて頂きました。
ただ、スタッフお二方のホスピタリティは素晴らしく、家族や友達とマリンレジャーを楽しみたい方には是非おすすめしたいです。お邪魔した際はアメリカから来たご夫妻と日本人のご家族（３世代）と組合せでしたが、皆さんとても楽しそうでした
次回は潮まわりが良いときに伺ってみたいです！
どうもお世話になりました！

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＞

Make sure to go on a sunny day! お天気の日に必ず行ってください！

Reviewed by: トマト

This was my first time participating in the tour. I checked the weather and tide conditions in advance to choose the date, but I was too optimistic. On the day, it was cloudy and quite cold for mid-May! For those deciding on a date in the future, it's definitely better to check the forecast specifically for Kaneohe, as the weather can be quite different from Honolulu.

To be strict, I think the tour organizers should limit the dates to sunny days and when the sandbar is accessible (knee-deep) to ensure higher satisfaction. As it stands now, the photos and reality are too different, and I believe participants may feel dissatisfied. Even if it's difficult to limit the dates, it would be good to include photos from cloudy days and provide clearer information about what to expect on days with bad weather.

● Customer Service
Everyone was very good. They were friendly and approachable.

● Sandbar
It doesn't look beautiful when it's cloudy, and it appears murky. It's also cold even in May.

● Snorkeling
It was cold, but once I got used to it, it was fun.

● Food
We had hamburgers, fries, stewed beans, pineapple, and drinks. The taste was just okay. The lemonade I chose honestly wasn't very good! I thought the hot drink after coming out of the sea was a very nice service!

● Restrooms
There were two on the boat.

That's all. Thank you.

今回初めてツアーに参加させて頂きました。天気と潮の満ち干きは事前に調べて日を選んだのですが、甘かったです。当日、曇りで5月半ばでしたが寒かった！
これから日取りを決める方は、予報は必ずカネオヘで調べたほうがいいです。ホノルルとカネオヘでは随分と天気が違うからです。
厳しく言うなら、ツアー企画側も、天気が晴れの日とサンドバーが出る時期（膝より下）で日取りを限定すると、高い満足度になるのではないでしょうか。今のままでは写真と現実が違いすぎて参加されたお客様は不満だと思います。
日の限定は難しくても、曇りの日の写真を載せておく、もう少し、天候の悪い日の事を詳しくわかりやすく書いておくと良いかなと思います。

●接客
みなさんとてもよかったです。フレンドリーで、気さくな方ばかりでした。

●サンドバー
曇りだと綺麗に見えないし、濁って見えます。また5月頃でも寒いです。

●スノーケル
寒かったですが、慣れると楽しかったです。

●食事
ハンバーガー、ポテト、お豆の煮込んだもの、パイナップルとドリンクでした。味はまあまあでした。チョイスしたレモネードは正直あまり美味しくなかったです！海から上がった後のホットドリンクはとても良いサービスだと思いました！

●トイレ 船に二カ所ついていました。

以上です。ありがとうございました。
