My wife and I went on a Thursday and had a wonderful time. There were two boats, one for English speaking people and one for Japanese speaking. When we got to the sandbar they tied the boats together and we explored the sandbar. My wife and I practiced or snorkeling skills and checked out our equipment, walked around the sandbar, and then played water volleyball. To my surprise, not many people wanted to play so my wife and I joined in. Our team consisted of us and 3 from the Japanese boat while the other team was 2 of the guides and 3 Japanese people. We may not have spoken the same language but it did remind me that laughter is a language we all share and speak. When we got back on the boat, we enjoyed a cheeseburger in paradise and were serenaded by one of the guides. We then went looking for turtles on the way to reef (we saw 3). The reef was amazing and we saw a turtle and tons of fish. After snorkeling for about 30 minutes, it was time to head back. Our final treat was seeing the original Gilligan's Island on the way back to port. We have lasting memories and it was a great time.

We were picked up at Hilton around 8 AM and took a minivan, which was full with 21 people, passing by Sheraton and other places. Despite the traffic, we arrived in about an hour. Two vans joined us at the location. We took a boat for 15 minutes to the sandbar. We enjoyed walking in the sea and snorkeling. It was an amazing time.

I participated in mid-June. I was worried about the weather, but the waves weren't high and I didn't get seasick. While searching for sea turtles, I unexpectedly saw a shark! When we arrived at the sandbar spot, it was completely sunny and felt great. Since it wasn't low tide, the water level was about knee-deep. During snorkeling, it was slightly cloudy and the depth was 10 meters, so it was cold and I was desperately trying not to get swept away. After snorkeling, the food was a bit disappointing because it was cold and I couldn't eat much, but the staff really made it fun. It started pouring rain right after the tour ended, so I was really glad the weather was nice during the tour.
6月中旬に参加しました。お天気が心配でしたが、波も高くなく船酔いも大丈夫でした。ウミガメを探していたら、偶然にもサメが!サンドバーのスポットに到着した時はすっかり晴れてとても気持ちよかったです。干潮ではなかったので水位は膝くらいまででした。シュノーケル時は若干曇って深さ10mだったので寒かったのと流されないように泳ぐので必死でした。シュノーケル後のごはんでしたが寒くてあまりいただけなくて残念でしたがスタッフの皆さんが盛り上げてくれて楽しかったです。ツアー終了と同時に大雨になったのでツアー中晴れていて本当によかったです。

I participated in a tour that included lunch. The water was quite deep, reaching up to my chest. People who joined in the morning said it wasn't that deep. There was a Japanese guide, so I felt reassured since I could communicate in Japanese. It gets really sunny, so sunscreen is a must. There is a toilet on the boat, but it was dirty, so I didn't want to use it. The wind was strong, and during lunch, plates and cups almost flew away, so most people ate inside. The hamburger for lunch was just average. The sea was beautiful, and I was able to see sea turtles.

Although the weather on the day wasn't very good, I was able to see sea turtles and snorkeling was fun. The staff were kind and their conversations were entertaining! One point to note is that since you have to walk to the bus, if the weather is bad, I think it's a good idea to bring a folding umbrella and a long-sleeved jacket for changing.

You have to walk to the nearby hotel for the pickup, but they will take you back, so it's reassuring. I recommend it for both repeat visitors and first-timers, and it's great that they take you to places you wouldn't normally go. The main event, snorkeling, is well taken care of, so it's fine for beginners and those over sixty.
Since you can get quite sunburned, it might be a good idea to have sunscreen ready to apply right after you get out. Anyway, I'm grateful for this tour. I want to go snorkeling in the North again, so see you next year! ♡
ピックアップは近くのホテルまで歩かないと行けないけど帰りは送ってくれるので安心。リピートの人にも初めての人にもおすすめで、なかなか行かないところに連れて行ってくれるのがいい。メインイベントのシュノーケリングも面倒をみてもらえるので初めての人、還暦過ぎ人も大丈夫。
かなり日焼けしちゃうので上がったらすぐ塗れるようにおいとくのもいいかも。とにかく、このツアーを考えてくれたことに感謝。ノースのシュノーケリングもいきたいからまた、来年ね♡

I was looking forward to walking on the sandbar, but it seems that sandbars are very rare.
I wouldn't recommend it for those who don't want to swim.
If the water had been knee-deep, I could have gone into the sea, but it was above my waist.
I was deceived by the photos and the promotional text.
砂州の上を歩くのをお楽しみにしていましたが、砂州が現れることはごく稀だそうです。
泳ぐ気が無い人にはお勧めしません。
水が膝下ぐらいだったら海にはいれたのですが、腰以上でした。
写真とうたい文句にだまされました。
Thank you very much for participating in the tour.
However, we understand that you may have been disappointed not to see the scenery you were expecting.
The water level at the sandbar varies significantly between high tide and low tide, so there may be times when the beach is not visible due to tidal conditions. We appreciate your understanding in this matter.
Additionally, we have posted a website on the tour page where you can check the tidal conditions in advance, so please refer to it if you have the opportunity to participate again.
We will strive to provide even more satisfying services based on your valuable feedback.
Thank you very much for taking the time to share your experience.

I wanted to let my 4-year-old child meet dolphins. First, there was a bit of a struggle since no one spoke Japanese. The time spent playing with the dolphins was short, so I felt it might not be worth the cost in terms of enjoyment. However, you can see the dolphins up close, so that might be satisfying enough.

I came to Hawaii for my wife's birthday and participated in this tour.
I felt very relieved because the staff were Japanese. Additionally, there were about ten participants, all travelers from Japan, so we felt very comfortable since we are not good at English.
On the way to our destination, a Japanese female staff member carefully explained the tour's precautions and the attractions of dolphins and sea turtles. She talked non-stop, almost like a bullet (laughs). It takes about an hour to get there, but since she kept talking the whole time, even though it was early in the morning, we didn't have a chance to sleep.
I heard that dolphins can only be found on the west coast of Hawaii. So, they mentioned that you can't see them unless you go to a beach a bit away from Waikiki.
As we were swaying on the bus and listening to her talk, we quickly arrived at the west coast. It felt more like a port than a sandy beach, so at that point, I thought it didn't look that different from other seas.
After using the restroom, we boarded the boat and set sail with several cheerful foreign staff members!!
From there, we headed further north along the west coast. The wind felt nice, and the waves were calm, so I was relieved that I didn't get seasick.
After about 30 minutes on the boat, we finally received information that dolphins were swimming nearby. If you're lucky, you might encounter dolphins in just five minutes, but if you're unlucky, you could drift at sea for about an hour and a half, so I thought we were fortunate this time.
Suddenly, the atmosphere on the boat became hectic, and we jumped into the sea right away.
While we were swimming together, the dolphins quickly swam by us. It seemed that there was a pod of about 50 dolphins swimming a bit apart, and we were able to swim with them multiple times, which was very lucky.
Moreover, the dolphins were in a great mood and were making a lot of sounds. When I put my face in the water, I could hear their calls.
Still buzzing with excitement, we returned to the boat and headed to the next snorkeling point.
Next, we saw many sea turtles and beautiful fish swimming around.
At first, I didn't realize it, but the water here is even clearer than in Waikiki. From the boat, I could see the bottom of the sea clearly, which looked to be more than ten meters deep.
It was truly a beautiful sea. It was amazing!!
I had so much fun.
On the way back, almost everyone was fast asleep on the bus (laughs).
You might get tired from swimming a lot, but I was very satisfied. I really want many people to experience the excitement of meeting wild dolphins!
I would love to participate again when I go back to Hawaii! I am grateful to the staff who supported us!!!
Thank you very much.
妻の誕生日にハワイに来てこのツアーに参加しました。
スタッフは日本人だったのですごく安心しました。
また、ツアー参加者は約10数名、全員日本からの旅行者だったので英語が苦手な私たちはとても安心感がありました。
目的地までは、日本人の女性スタッフがツアーの注意点やイルカやウミガメなどの魅力を丁寧に教えてくれます。
本当に弾丸のごとくしゃべり続けます(笑)
現地まで約1時間弱ありますが、ほとんどしゃべりっぱなしだったので、朝は早いですが、寝る暇はありません。
イルカはハワイでは西海岸にしかいないそうです。
なので、少しワイキキからは離れているビーチじゃないと見れないと言っていました。
バスに揺られながら、話を聞いているうちにあっという間に西海岸に到着。
砂浜ではなく、港みたいな感じなので、この時点では他の海とそんなに変わらないかと思ってました。
トイレを済ませて船へ乗り込み、陽気な外国人スタッフ達数名と海へ出航します!!
そこから西海岸をさらに北上します。
風が気持ちよく、波も穏やかだったので心配していた船酔いは大丈夫でした。
約30分ほど船を走らせると、ようやくイルカが近くを泳いでいるとの情報がありました。
運が良ければ5分でいるかと遭遇なんてこともあるそうですが、運が悪ければ1時間半くらい海を漂うこともあるそうなので、今回はまだマシだったと思います。
そこからは本当に船の上が急に慌ただしくなり、すぐさま海に飛び込みました。
みんなで泳いでいたら、イルカたちはすぐに私たちのそばを泳いでいきました。
今回は約50頭ほどの群れが少し分かれて泳いでいたようで、何度もイルカと泳ぐことが出来たのでとても運が良かったといってました。
しかも、イルカたちはとても機嫌が良かったのがめっちゃ鳴いていました。
海に顔を付けると、鳴き声が聞こえてきます。
興奮冷めやらぬ中、ボートに戻り次のシュノーケルポイントへ向かいます。
次は、ウミガメときれいな魚がたくさん泳いでいました。
初めは分からなかったのですが、こっちの海はワイキキよりもさらに透明度が高いです。
ボートの上からでも10メートル以上はありそうな海の底まできれいに見えました。
本当に綺麗な海です。
最高でした!!
本当に楽しかったです。
帰りのバスはみんなほぼ爆睡(笑)
めっちゃ泳ぐので疲れるかもしれませんが、とても満足でした。
ぜひ、野生のイルカと出会える感動をいろいろな人に味わっていただきたいです!
またハワイに行った時には参加したいです!
サポートしていただいたスタッフに感謝です!!!
ありがとうございました。

While it's common to see interactions with dolphins at aquariums or swimming with them, encountering wild dolphins is quite rare. I was initially not planning to join the dolphin tour that my family asked me to find. However, as I read more about the details of the tour and experiences from others, I became irresistibly drawn to the idea of meeting these wild dolphins, and eventually, I ended up signing up for it myself.
The waters of the West Coast are incredibly clear, and the dolphins swimming, the ocean floor, and even the sunlight filtering through all had an unbelievable sparkle, existing naturally in their own right. I've seen many beautiful things, but it's captivating to witness the raw beauty of the Earth as it is, rather than something prepared for us.
I enjoy participating in various activities, but I usually feel satisfied after doing something once, and it's rare for me to want to see something again. So, I was surprised by how much this experience moved me.
水族館などで触れ合ったり一緒に泳ぐというのはときどき見かけますが、野生のイルカを観るというのはなかなかないのではないでしょうか。
家族に頼まれて探したイルカツアーでしたが、私自身は最初参加するつもりはありませんでした。
ところが、ツアーの詳しい内容を見たり体験談を読んだりしていると、この野生のイルカに会いに行くというところにどうにも惹かれて、ついには一緒に申し込みをしてしまいました。
西海岸の海は本当に澄み切っていて、泳ぐイルカも海底も、差し込む太陽の光でさえも、本当に信じられない煌きをもって飽く迄自然に存在していました。
いろいろな美しいものを見てきたけれど、用意された何かではなくてただそこにあるということのありのままの地球の姿に、こんなにも心奪われるものなのですね。
アクティビティ系は好きでよく参加するのですが、わりと1度やったら満足で、もう1度絶対に観たいと思うものはなかなかないので自分でも驚きました。
Encountering wild dolphins is completely different from interacting with dolphins in an aquarium; I hope you felt the connection with nature. Please come again, we look forward to seeing you!
野生のイルカとの遭遇は、水族館のイルカとは全然違う、大自然との触れ合いを感じていただけたのかと思います。

I heard that the sandbar, which looks like something out of a magazine, can only be seen twice a month, so I was hopeful. However, when I went, it just felt like a shallow area, so it wasn't really enjoyable as a sandbar experience. Still, I think it's a spot worth visiting for some conversation starters when in Hawaii!
Later, during snorkeling, I got to see a big turtle and tropical fish, which was definitely much more fun. Haha! There were also Japanese staff members, so the conversations were enjoyable too!
サンドバーは雑誌に載ってるような感じになるのは月に2回しか見られないとのことだったので、運を信じましたが、行った日はただの浅瀬のような感じだったので、サンドバーを楽しむという感じではありませんでしたが、ハワイに行ったら話題作りのためにも行ったほうがいいスポットだと思います!
その後のシュノーケルで大きな亀と熱帯魚が見れたので、そっちの方が断然楽しかったです。笑
日本人のスタッフもいるので、トークも楽しくよかったです!

I thoroughly enjoyed snorkeling for the first time in the beautiful sea! Thanks to the guidance from Chieko and Dan, I was able to enjoy myself safely out in the open water. Having professional guides really makes a difference in terms of peace of mind!
They also provided life jackets and took care of our valuables, allowing us to enjoy the sea without any worries. I’m really grateful for the photos taken while we were in the water. Next time, my wife will join me for a rematch. Of course, we would like to book this tour again (^ ^).

The guide, Tori, was bright and kind, a really nice person! I was a bit worried about the night snorkeling since it was my first time, but we just held onto a board with lights and floated, so there was nothing to worry about at all. I was more moved by the manta rays that kept coming right up to us. We were in the water for about 30 minutes, so after getting out, it felt cold, so it's essential to have something to wear. I also think it's a good idea to bring a waterproof camera. You can take photos up close!

夜のシュノーケリングは初めてで怖いんじゃないかと少し心配していましたが、
ライト付きの板にみんなでつかまって浮いているだけなので、全く心配なことはありませんでした。それよりも目前まで何度もやってくるマンタに感動しっぱなしでした。
30分ほど水の中にいるので、あがったあとは寒さを感じるので羽織るものは必須です。
あと防水カメラ持っていくといいと思います。間近で撮影できます!
The manta rays that seem to rise up from the night sea are fantastical, and their white, glowing bellies when they flip over are beautiful as well. During the day, we also offer dolphin snorkeling, so please join us again!

On the day we participated, it was cloudy with some wind and a bit chilly until we boarded the boat and headed out to sea. However, by the time we reached the sandbar, the sun was shining, and we had a great time swimming. The water level was deep enough to reach our waists and shallow enough to reach our knees. There were no areas where the sandy beach was visible. The brunch on the boat was very delicious, and we were able to relax. The photos taken can be downloaded with a password after returning home, but I'm embarrassed because the swimsuit photos will be visible to other participants.
参加した日は、船に乗って沖へ進むまで、曇りで風もあり、少し寒かったのですが、サンドバーに着いた頃には日も射して、泳ぐこともでき楽しかったです。

のんびりとお時間を過ごして頂いてよかったです。お写真の件では申し訳ございませんでした。
気になる方は撮影に参加されなくても大丈夫なんですよ。ご説明が不足していてようですね。
次回ハワイにお越しの際はぜひまた遊びに来て下さいね。マハロ!

One of our best days in Oahu. Dan & Chieko of Blue Hawaii Divers are just the best. If you go snorkeling ,select them. Very knowledgable. Thank you Chieko for attending to my wife, who had a problem with first time time snorkeling and turned it into the great day . We would do it again! Highly recommend.

Eka Canoe provided a great tour. The small group size gave a really good guide/tourist ratio. The fact that the boat sailed from Keauhou Bay meant that we only had a short (about five minutes) ride to the viewpoint. The experience of watching these creatures was fantastic. They are wild animals, so one never knows what to expect. I did not see the "inverted loop" feeding behaviour that is usually shown in promotional videos, but I saw four mantas cruising mid-way between the bottom and the surface. It was a remarkable experience. The crew and guide looked after us well. They were booked up for the remaining evenings that I had on the Big Island or I would have returned for a repeat tour!

If you're going to Oahu, you definitely want to visit the sandbar! There were various tour companies, but I made a reservation here after seeing the good reviews. I read in the reviews that the bus could be cold, so I wore a long-sleeve hoodie, and it was just right! The sea was about knee-deep since I checked the interference time for that day. It seems it wasn't the time of year when you could see the sand, but I was very satisfied with this! However, it was a bit windy, so the sandbar might be a little chilly for the ladies. After that, I got to eat a hamburger, and it was so delicious! They grilled the patty for you, and you could add your favorite toppings to make your burger! Honestly, I wasn't expecting much, but it was tasty! I also got to see sea turtles during the watching session and took some great photos! The tour guide was super funny, and it turned out to be more than I expected! During the last snorkeling session, we moved to a spot with deeper coral. They explained everything carefully, and even though I’m quite scared, I was able to swim with the beautiful fish in the sea. After getting out of the water early, there was a lovely warm drink service, which was great! I was able to chat and bond with the other participants, and I'm really glad I joined! The tour guide was fun and a great person! Mahalo! It was a bit cold, but definitely worth swimming!
オアフ島に行くならサンドバーに行きたい!と思い、いろんなツアー会社がありましたが、口コミが良いのを見てこちらで予約しました。口コミにバスの中が寒いと書いてあったので、長袖のパーカーを羽織っていきましたが、ちょうど良かったです!海はその日の干渉時間を調べて行ったので、膝下くらい。砂が見えるところまではいかない時期だったらしいので、これで大満足♡でも風がありちょっとサンドバーは女子には寒いかも?そのあとハンバーガーを食べさせてもらったのですが、それが美味しすぎ!ハンバーグを焼いてくれていて、好きな具を挟んでハンバーガーに!正直期待していなかったのですが、美味しかった!ウミガメウォッチングでもばっちし見れて写真も撮れました!添乗員の方がすっごく面白くて思っていた以上のツアーになりました!最後のシュノーケリングでは、少し深い珊瑚のある所へ移動します。丁寧に説明もしてくださり、すごく怖がりの私も海の素敵な魚とたくさん泳ぐことができました。
早めに海から上がると嬉しい暖かいドリンクサービスがありました♡
他の参加者の方とも仲良くお話出来て、本当に参加して良かった!添乗員の方がみんな楽しく良い人でした!mahalo!
少し寒いですが、泳ぐ価値あり!

When we departed, the weather was bad and very cold, but we were able to see sea turtles from the boat. By the time we arrived at the sandbar, the weather had improved, and we enjoyed beautiful scenery. Since the weather in Hawaii can change quickly, it's good to have a light jacket. Although it was a short tour, we had ample time for snorkeling and taking photos, and we were able to return to the hotel for lunch, making effective use of our time. The staff were very high-energy, which made it enjoyable.
出発のときは天気が悪くてとても寒かったですが、ウミガメを船の上から見れて、サンドバーに着く頃は天気も回復し、きれいな景色を堪能できました。ハワイは天気が変わりやすいので羽織ものがあるといいですね。短いツアーですがシュノーケリングの時間、写真撮影の時間をしっかり取ってもらえた上にランチタイムにはホテルに帰ってこられたので時間を有効活用できました。スタッフの方がとてもハイテンションで楽しめました。

There were two boats, one for Japanese speakers and one for English speakers. Since there were many Japanese participants, we boarded the English-speaking boat. The sea was very clear and beautiful. We could see swimming sea turtles from the boat, and we encountered a sea turtle while snorkeling and were able to swim together. It was much larger than I had imagined from the boat. The sandbar also had water at knee height, so we enjoyed it thoroughly. Unfortunately, there were many Korean tourists on the English-speaking boat who did not understand English, leading to several instances of poor etiquette, such as standing on the coral while snorkeling. If there are many Koreans on board, it might be better to provide the rules in Korean as well.
船2隻で日本語と英語の分かれ、参加日は日本人が多かったので、私たちは英語の船に乗り込みました。海はとてもクリアで綺麗でした。船からも泳ぐウミガメが見れましたが、シュノーケルのときにウミガメに遭遇し一緒に泳ぐことができました。船から見て想像していたよりもとても大きかったです。サンドバーも膝下位の水位だったので、堪能できました。残念なことは、韓国人の観光客も多く、英語の船に乗っていましたが、英語を理解できていなかったので、シュノーケルの際に珊瑚の上に立ったりとマナー違反が多数ありました。韓国人も多く乗船するのならば、韓国語でルール等を記載したほうが良いのでは?
