All Reviews for Snorkeling Cruises & Tours

The crew was amazing and fun. They were very knowledgeable of the island and surrounding area. We had an amazing time snorkeling and the crew made us feel very comfortable and at easy in the water. It seems as if we were also eating during the cruise before, between and after snorkeling at the two spots chosen for the morning cruise. The end of the cruise was awesome because the captain and crew raised the sails and we sailed back to harbor by the wind. It was amazing watching the crew work at raising the sails. What a great experience for anyone and everyone of all ages.

It seems that it's quite rare, but around 100 dolphins came to visit us. Additionally, three sea turtles also came to see us, and we were able to see one right in front of us. Meeting the dolphins and sea turtles was a wonderful part of the tour, but the crew members were also very enjoyable to be with. We took many photos, which became great memories. If I have the opportunity to go to Hawaii again, I would love to participate once more.

滅多にないことらしいのですが、100頭ほどのイルカ先生が我々のところに会いに来てくれました。また、ウミガメ教授も3頭会いに来てくれ、1頭は目の前で見ることができました。イルカ先生、ウミガメ教授に出会えたこともツアーに参加してよかったことですが、クルーの人たちが非常によく楽しく過ごすことができました。また、多くの写真を撮っていただき、良い記念となりました。ハワイに行く機会があったらまた参加したいと思います。

About an hour by car from Waikiki and about 30 minutes by cruise ship from the harbor, we landed on a truly mysterious sandbar. The shallow area, about 100 meters in diameter, is surrounded by marine blue waters, and the water level is only knee-high, so the kids were able to play safely. We observed tropical fish while snorkeling, and the tour included lunch, which made for a very satisfying experience.

P.S. There was a funny local staff member who had a tattoo of his daughter's name (in kanji!) on his body.

ワイキキから車で1時間、ハーバーからクルーズ船で30分位でしょうか。なんとも不思議なサンドバーに降り立ちました。直径100m程の白い砂の浅瀬はマリンブルーの海の囲まれ、海面も膝の高さ程度ですので、お子様達も安心して遊べていました。シュノーケリングで熱帯魚を観察し、昼食もついて大満足のツアーでした。

P.S. 体に娘さんの名前のタトゥーを入れた（漢字！）、初老の現地スタッフのおじさんが面白かったです。

We were lucky enough to see dolphins by chance, but I felt that encountering them depends on luck since we didn't forcefully search for or chase them. The boat swayed, but it was a large vessel, so I felt safe. The restrooms were clean, and the staff members were kind (they can communicate in English).

私たちは偶然イルカを見ることができましたが、無理にイルカを探したり追いかけたりすることをしないので、イルカに遭遇できるかは運次第かな？と感じました。
船は揺れますが、大きな船なので安心でした。トイレもキレイで、スタッフの方々も親切でした。(英語対応ですが)

Great day at the sandbar, very nice crew, had a wonderful day at this cruise

It was a safe depth for elementary school students to swim comfortably! The hamburgers for lunch were also delicious.

小学生にはちょうど良い深さの海で安心して泳がせることができました！
ランチのハンバーガーも美味しかったです

The scooter is controlled by the guide, so you hardly have to operate it yourself. It was interesting and offered a different underwater sensation compared to scuba diving. You can see fish gathering around the bait right in front of you. Unfortunately, the crew, aside from the interpreter, didn't seem to want to interact much with the Japanese guests, which was disappointing, so I deducted one star.

スクーターはガイドさんが押してコントロールしてくれるので、ほとんど操作することはありません。スキューバダイビングとも違う水中感覚で面白かったです。魚が餌に群がってくるのを目の前で見れます。通訳の方以外のクルーは、あまり日本人と接触しようとしなかったので残念な感じがして星一つ減らしました。

Honestly, I felt like I could have skipped this experience as my memories of my stay in Hawaii were quite faint.

First, we headed to the sandbar. It was a shallow area with water up to our knees, and there was no beach at all. We stayed there for about an hour, but after taking photos for around 30 minutes, it felt like everyone else was just waiting on their boats.

After that, the lunch burgers took a really long time. Everyone was standing in line, and it took about 20 minutes to distribute the food to everyone after picking it up. I think it was because one staff member was out sick. The taste was good, so it was disappointing. Everyone was expressing their dissatisfaction.

Next, we went to a spot where we saw turtles from the boat and swam around the coral reef, which took about 45 minutes. This part was average.

The biggest disappointment was the absence of the sandbar, which I regretted. Considering my lack of preparation beforehand and the time wasted waiting for food and at the sandbar, along with only about an hour of total swimming time, I can't really recommend this experience. Other tours were more intense but allowed for plenty of swimming, and I had memorable encounters with turtles and dolphins right in front of me.

正直参加しなくてもいいぐらい、ハワイ滞在での記憶が薄かったです。
まず最初に、サンドバーに向かいました。
そこは浅瀬で膝まで海水があり、砂浜は全くありませんでした。
そこに1時間ぐらい滞在しましたが、30分間ぐらいで写真を撮ったら、他の方もボートで待ってる感じでした。
その後昼食のバーガーはすごく時間がかかり全員行列状態で立ったまま並んで、受け取りに行き全員に配り終えるのに最後の方は20分はかかりました。スタッフの方が1人風邪で休みになったため、だと思いますが、
味は良かったので、残念です。みんな不満を言っていました。
次に向かったところでは、亀を船上から見て、サンゴ礁のまわりを泳ぐのですが、ぐるっと一周します。およそ45分ぐらいです。
こちらは普通でした。

目的のサンドバーが無いことが、1番不満で、後悔しました。
自分の事前の勉強不足と、食事にサンドバーにとだらだらと待たされたり、泳いでいる合計時間は1時間ぐらいと考えると、あまりおすすめではありません。
他のツアーでは、ハードでしたが泳ぎまくれ、亀やイルカが目の前まで来てくれ、すごく思い出に残っています。

Took my wife on this tour. We loved it. Awesome, knowledgeable staff. Got to experience sea life in clear water, right off Waikiki, followed by an awesome sail on the catamaran, which we didn't expect. We thought it was just to see the turtles - so for us, the sailing was an awesome bonus. Highly recommended.

I was able to go to my long-awaited Lanikai Beach by renting a bicycle! (I struggled a bit to get used to the brakes.) I was also able to rent a snorkeling set, so I was happy to see a lot of fish. The pizza for lunch was very delicious, but I regretted leaving about half of it because the portion was so large. If I get the chance to go again, I would definitely like to use this service.

レンタサイクルを借りて、念願のラニカイビーチに行くことができました！
（なかなかブレーキのかけ方が慣れなくて苦労しましたが）
シュノーケルセットも借りられたので、魚もたくさん見られてよかったです。
お昼のピザがとてもおいしかったのですが、量が多くて半分くらい残してしまったのが心残りでした。
また行くことがあったら、是非利用したいです。

I went to Manta University. The staff were friendly and kind, and I was able to participate in a relaxed manner. I saw several mantas, and they swam right by me multiple times, which was incredibly impressive! I'm glad I participated.

マンタ大学に行きました。
スタッフさんはフレンドリーで親切で、リラックスして参加できました。
マンタも何匹も見れて、しかも間近を何度も通っていって、すごい迫力でした！
参加して良かったです。

Molokini Island had an incredible level of clarity, and snorkeling there was truly enjoyable. I was able to see the fish beautifully. At the second spot, I was able to watch swimming sea turtles up close. I was very satisfied.

モロキニ島は想像以上の透明度で、シュノーケルして本当に気持ち良かったです。魚も綺麗に見れました。
二つ目のスポットでは、泳いでいるウミガメをゆっくり見ることができました。
大満足でした。

It was a very good experience. The sea was crystal clear, truly a heavenly ocean. I was able to see sea turtles and colorful fish as well.

とても良い経験になりました。どこまでも透き通った海。正に天国の海でした。ウミガメや色鮮やかなサカナも見れました。

We loved seeing all the sea turtles! It was nice to have the flotation devices and the anti fog spray for the masks. The crew was amazing and so much fun! Thank you!

The hotel transfer and the captain's Japanese were a bit uncertain, but there aren't any complicated procedures, so you can rest assured. This person, despite their shaky Japanese, occasionally throws in jokes, which can make understanding a bit tricky (laughs).

On the day of the trip, it was quite windy, and my entire family got seasick. They asked us to please vomit at the back of the boat.

The underwater scooter is always held by a diver at the back, so it's reassuring. The first four people won't get wet above the face while riding the bike, but you will definitely get wet when getting off.

The underwater scenery is quite beautiful and full of fish. You can get bread to put in the net, and when you do, the fish come rushing over. A turtle was swimming nearby too!

Snacks were all-you-can-eat, but a South American family was stuffing their bags with them.

After the underwater bike ride, I didn't have the energy to enjoy snorkeling and was completely exhausted on the deck... I was thinking, "Please get me back to land quickly." Everyone else seemed to be having fun... how nice!

They take photos and videos underwater, and you can check them on a computer when you return to the office. If you like them, you can purchase the photos and videos for US$75 in an upload site format. They are very well taken, so I think it's worth buying. You can pay in cash on the spot or wait to pay at the hotel after the transfer.

The staff had slightly fewer smiles, which made me a bit anxious, but I felt they were doing their best while considering safety.

ホテル送迎&船長の方の日本語が微妙で不安でしたが実際にはそんなに難しい手順は無いのでご安心ください。
この方、日本語微妙なくせにたまにジョーク入れるので理解を難しくさせてくれます(笑)

当日はかなり風が強くて我が家族は全員船酔いになりました。吐く方は船の後方でお願いします。
とのことです。

水中スクータは常にダイバーの方が後方で掴んでいてくれるので安心です。
最初の４名までバイク搭乗時に顔から上が濡れませんが、下車時に必ず濡れます。

水中はかなり綺麗で魚だらけです。網に入ったパンをもらえるのでてでモフモフすると魚たちがワーっと寄ってきます。カメさんも近くを泳いでいました！

スナックは食べ放題でしたが、南米系(?)の家族がドンドン自分のBAGに詰め込んでました。

水中バイク後のシュノーケリングを楽しむ余裕はなく、甲板でグッタリしてました。。。
は、早く陸地に返して〜という思いでした。
皆さんは楽しいでらっしゃいました。。。いいなー

水中で写真や動画を撮影してくれているのでオフィスに戻ってパソコンで確認させてくれます。
気に入ったらUS$75で写真も動画もアップロードサイト形式にて購入できます。
非常によく撮れているので購入した方が良いと思います。
代金はキャッシュでその場で支払うか、送迎後にホテルで待っててもらって支払うこともできます。

スタッフの方々はすこーし笑顔が少ないので不安になりますが、皆さんなりに安全面も考慮して一生懸命やられていると感じましたよ。

I had a very fun experience with a Japanese lady and some joke-loving gentlemen who provided explanations during the tour!

They indicated the direction of the turtles based on the clock, with the front of the boat being 12 o'clock. But sometimes they would tell little lies (laughs) like "Dolphins at 5 o'clock! Whales at 3 o'clock! Just kidding!"

I'm not sure if it was just that day, but they appeared in large numbers all around.

After a bit of movement, we enjoyed snorkeling for the first time at the sandbar, surrounded by lots of fish and coral reefs. The light meal afterward was simple, yet it tasted incredibly delicious!

I highly recommend it.

とっても楽しい日本人お姉さま(&ジョーク好きなオジサマ達)が説明添乗していただけました！

船の前方方向が12時として、時間でカメのいる方角を教えてくれます。
でも時々ウソつきます(笑)イルカ5時！クジラ３時！ウソ！とか。

この日だけなのか分かりませんが、アッチコッチに大量に現れてくれました。

そして少し移動してサンドバーでは初体験のシュノーケリングを大量のお魚さんたちとサンゴ礁と楽しみました。そのあとの軽食は簡単なものなのにとてもとても美味しく感じました！

おすすめです。

The crew was kind and cheerful while working, which made for a pleasant experience. I was able to see a dolphin for a little while, and I also saw a sea turtle. It was tough because the snorkeling mask didn't fit well, and seawater kept getting in. That didn't happen during a different activity the day before. Also, no one received an eco bag.

クルーが優しく楽しげに仕事をしていて
気持ちよく楽しめました。
イルカは少しだけ見れたし、海亀も見れ
ました。
シュノーケリングのマスクが合わないのか
海水が入ってきてしんどかった。
前日の別のアクティビティではそんなこと
がなかったのに。
あと、誰もエコbagもらえませんでした。

It seems like it was a very lucky day, as we encountered a pod of dolphins right after departing. We were thrilled to see them jumping on the surface and swimming right below us while we were snorkeling! Since we encountered them early, we had plenty of time with the dolphins. When we moved to another snorkeling spot, we quickly discovered a sea turtle! It came so close that we felt like we could touch it, but there was a rule against touching, so we even yielded the way. The optional photo data sale was $50 for download and $55 for a USB, if I remember correctly. Payment by credit card was possible on the day or during our stay. While the price wasn't cheap, the quality of the hundreds of photos taken by the professional photographer was really high, capturing moments from boarding and the underwater scenery, so it was definitely worth purchasing! It was also fun that the guide and the staff were high-energy and entertaining!

とても運の良い日だったようで、出港してすぐにイルカの群れに遭遇しました。海面でジャンプする姿も、シュノーケリングしている私たちの真下を泳ぐ姿も見ることができて大興奮！ 早めに遭遇できたためか、イルカとの時間はたっぷりありました。さらに別のシュノーケリングスポットへと場所を変えたら、これまたすぐに海亀を発見！触れてしまいそうなくらい近くまで来てくれて、でも触ってはいけないルールなので、こちらが道（？）を譲ったほどでした。オプションの写真データ販売は、ダウンロードが＄５０、ＵＳＢ渡しが＄５５だったかな？ 当日または現地滞在中のクレジットカード払いが可能でした。値段を聞くと安くはありませんが、プロのカメラマンさんが何百枚も撮ってくれた写真は本当にクオリティが高く、乗船時の様子や海中での景色など、本当にたくさんあったので購入して正解でしたよ！ ガイドさんを始め、スタッフの方々がハイテンションでおもしろかったのも楽しかったです！！

It took about an hour to get to the snorkeling point. The sea had some transparency, but it felt like a black ocean, and while there were a few fish, it wasn't beautiful at all. You might want to reconsider making snorkeling the main focus. For a light breakfast, we had fruit and sweet bread. For lunch, I made a sandwich (but I couldn't eat it because I felt nauseous). We stopped the boat at various photo spots, and everyone was taking pictures. I had anticipated this based on the reviews I read, but even with motion sickness medication, it was tough. Be sure to bring motion sickness medication and a jacket for rain and wind!

おおよそ１時間くらいかけて、シュノーケリングポイントへ。海は透明度は若干あるものの、黒い海といった感じで、魚は少しいましたが、まったくキレイではありませんでした。シュノーケルをメインには考えないほうがいいでしょう。軽い朝食は、フルーツと甘いパン。昼食は自作のサンドイッチ（私は酔いそうで、たべれませんでした）ところどころ、写真スポットで船を停止させ、みんな撮影してました。口コミみて行ったので予想できていましたが、酔い止め飲んでもきつかったです。必ず酔い止めと、雨よけ風よけの上着は持参してくださいね！

The weather was nice, the sea was beautiful, and the staff were very friendly!
I was surprised by the size of the pizza I ordered for lunch!
I couldn't help but laugh. (I finished it all)
In the afternoon, I rented a bicycle and went shopping in Kailua.
It was great to shop without worrying about the kids and dad!
(The staff gave me some advice.)
The kids and dad rented bodyboards and enjoyed riding the waves.
They were happy to see fish and crabs.
It's a beach I want to visit again.

天気も良く、海はキレイ、ｽﾀｯﾌの皆さんはとても親切！！
ﾗﾝﾁで頼んだﾋﾟｻﾞの大きさにビックリ！！
笑わずにはいられませんでした。（完食）
午後は私だけ自転車を借りて、ｶｲﾙｱまでお買い物に。
子供とﾊﾟﾊﾟに気兼ねする事無く、買い物ができて最高！
（ｽﾀｯﾌの方にｱﾄﾞﾊﾞｲｽして頂きました）
子供たちとﾊﾟﾊﾟはﾎﾞﾃﾞｨｰﾎﾞｰﾄﾞを借りて波乗り？を楽しんでいました。
魚やｶﾆを見れて、子供たちはうれしそうでした。
また、行きたいﾋﾞｰﾁです。

We participated as a couple.
We had visited Maui several times, but we had never had the opportunity to go to Molokini Island, so we were able to enjoy snorkeling this time.

The boat had free drinks and a restroom, which made it comfortable for us.

The Japanese guide also did a great job supporting us. Thank you very much.

We were lucky enough to see both turtles and dolphins, making it a satisfying tour.

夫婦で参加しました
マウイ島は、何度か訪れていましたが
モロキニ島へは行く機会が無く、今回楽しくシュノーケリングを楽しむことが出来ました

船は、ドリンクがフリーで、トイレも有り私たちには、快適でした

日本語ガイドの方も、一生懸命フォロー頂きました。
ありがとうございました。

運良くカメもイルカも見ることが出来、満足なツアーでした

There are many fish in the shallow area. I was surprised when I was surrounded by yellow tangs.
It's also recommended for energetic kids to slide down from the boat's slide or jump off the diving board.
If you're not confident or worried about getting tired, you can wear a floatation belt around your torso for peace of mind.
Breakfast and lunch are enjoyable on the boat. The meat for the lunch burgers is freshly grilled on the boat and delicious.
I also got to see dolphins.

浅い方に魚がたくさん。キイロハギに囲まれた時はびっくり。
船から滑り台で滑り降りたり、ジャンプ台から飛び込んだり、元気なお子さんにもオススメです。
自信ない人、疲れるのが心配だあれば胴体に巻く浮きのようなベルトつければ安心。
朝食も昼食も船上で楽。お昼のハンバーガー用のお肉は船上焼きたてで美味しいです。
イルカにも会えました。

Had a great time! However, they did not provide fins. That would have made it slightly easier to snorkel. But other than that I thoroughly enjoyed it. Staff was great.

We were thrilled to see sea turtles swimming close by, which made the children very happy. The sandbar was incredibly beautiful and left us in awe. The surrounding mountains and the sea were stunning!

It's said that snorkeling is optional, but we decided to give it a try. However, since there were a lot of people, I think the water clarity is better in Okinawa.

It was a great experience for the kids! The staff were very welcoming, and we had a wonderful time on the boat!

ウミガメが間近にプカプカと泳いでいて子供がとても喜びました
サンドバーはとても綺麗で感動しました。周りの山に海とても生えて綺麗でした！
シュノーケリングはしてもしなくても良いとの事ですがせっかくなので行いましたが、たくさんの人数で行うので海の透明度は沖縄の方があると思います！
子供にはいい体験でした！
スタッフの方々がとてもアットホームで船の上も楽しく過ごすことができました！

Since my child turned 10, we decided to try the underwater scooter that we couldn't do last year! We read plenty of experiences beforehand, and we were prepared with motion sickness medication and cold weather gear! Although there were no Japanese-speaking staff, the person who welcomed us and took photos was very polite. The other staff members were also attentive, and honestly, it was the best experience I've had among various tours.

Before boarding the boat, we received instructions on how to use the scooter and signed some documents. We were supposed to watch a video, but it seemed to be skipped due to a late-arriving group. The boat could hold about 25 people and did not have a restroom.

Once we arrived at the spot, we quickly spotted sea turtles swimming around!

We experienced the underwater scooter in pairs, then groups of three, and finally four. Since there were three of us, we were in the middle group. We were told we could snorkel freely while waiting, but we decided to wait on the boat until after our turn with the underwater scooter.

The boat rocked quite a bit. It would have been tough without taking motion sickness medication (laughs).

For the underwater scooter, we started with two scooters, going one by one, creating a time gap. When it was our turn, we had three scooters, and I went down first, followed by my child and then my husband. When my child came up, they took a photo of the two of them, and after my husband joined, they took photos and videos of the three of us. After I came up first, they also took pictures of my child and husband. They even used my handheld camera to take some shots!

Underwater, it was as beautiful as I imagined. The round helmet created a strange view, but various fish gathered around the food, allowing us to enjoy watching them up close, while sea turtles swam above us in a mystical world. The 20 minutes flew by. Snorkeling was also fun, as we spotted sea turtles!

When getting on and off the scooter, you have to dive into the sea, so your face gets wet! Also, the staff gives instructions on how to operate the scooter, so it's manageable even for children.

After everyone finished, we returned to the building where we received the initial briefing to check the photos and videos by group. If we liked them, we could proceed to purchase. We could choose either just photos or a set of photos and videos, with prices varying by the number of people. We got the set for $60. Later, a URL was sent to my email for downloading. They advised downloading on a computer since the data size was large.

On the way back, we were exhausted and fell into a deep sleep (laughs).

Thank you to all the staff for a wonderful time! It was enjoyable, but the waiting times were a bit tough, so I’m giving it one star less.

子供が10歳になったので去年出来なかった水中スクーターに挑戦！
事前に体験談をしっかり読み、酔い止めヨシ！寒さ対策ヨシ！
日本語を話せるスタッフはいませんでしたが、お迎え＋写真撮影のお兄さんは、とても丁寧に対応してくれました。他のスタッフさんもキチンと対応してくれ、今まで色々なツアーに参加しましたが、正直、一番感じが良かったです。

船に乗る前にスクーターの乗り方の説明と書類に署名をしました。
ホントはビデオも見るようですが、遅れてきたグループがいたため省略したようです。
船はトイレなしの25人くらい乗れる船でした。
ポイントに到着すると、早くも海亀さんを発見！2、3匹泳いでました。

水中スクーターは2人組→3人組→4人組の順で体験しました。
うちは3人でしたので、真ん中くらい。
待ち時間は、自由にシュノーケルをしていいよ！と言われましたが、水中スクーターをやってからにしようと船で待つことにしました。

船はかなり揺れます。酔い止めを飲んでなかったらヤバかったかも（笑）。

水中スクーターは最初は2台で､1台ずつ潜っていくので時差ができ､上がって来たら次の人…という感じでした。
うちの順番のときに3台になり、私、子供、旦那の順に潜りました。
子供が潜って来たときに、ふたりの写真を撮ってくれ､旦那が合流して3人の写真や動画を撮り、先に私が上がった後、子供と旦那の写真も撮ってくれました。
あと、手持ちのカメラでも撮ってくれました！
水中は、想像通り綺麗でした。被るやつが丸いので不思議な見え方になりますが、
餌に色々なお魚が集まって来て、目の前でお魚を鑑賞し、頭上を海亀さんが泳いでいる神秘的な世界です。あっという間の20分間でした。
シュノーケルも海亀さんを見かけたり、楽しかったです。

水中スクーターは乗るときと降りるときに海に潜って頭を出し入れするので、顔が濡れます！あと、スクーターの操作は、スタッフさんが指示してくれるので子供でも大丈夫です。

全員終了後、最初に説明を受けた建物に戻り、写真と動画をグループごとに確認して、気に入ったら購入手続きへ｡写真のみか写真と動画のどちらか選べ、人数によって値段が異なりました。うちは、写真と動画のセットで＄60でした。
後日メールアドレスにURLが送られてきて、ダウンロードするやり方です。
データが大きいのでパソコンでダウンロードしてくれ！と言われました。

帰りの車では疲れて爆睡（笑）。

スタッフの皆様、楽しい時間をありがとうございました！
楽しかったのですが、待ち時間の波がきつかったので星マイナス１で。

It was as good as I expected. The waves and wind were calm on the day, but there were a few people who got seasick, so motion sickness medication is a must. For lunch, it was not BBQ but a cheese bar. (The bread had taro in it.)

予想していたぐらいの良さです。当日は波も風も穏やかでしたが、船で寄っている人が何人かいたので、酔い止めは必需品です。お昼はＢＢＱではなくチーズバーがです。（パンはタロイモが入っていた）

It was great to interact with the dolphins, but there was also about an hour of classroom-like time before it started, which felt like an American school. It was a good experience for the kids.

イルカと触れ合えたこともよかったですが、始まる前に1時間ほど授業のような時間があり、さながらアメリカンスクールでした。子供にとってはいい経験

I had missed the chance to see manta rays in Palau and Ishigaki Island, so I joined the tour with the hope that this time I wouldn't miss out. My family was actually quite skeptical, thinking it might be impossible. However, I’m really glad I went! On that day, three manta rays came to us, and they turned around multiple times, which was just amazing! This was the best memory from my experience on the Big Island. I hope everyone can have a wonderful experience at Manta University as well. If I have the opportunity to go back to the Big Island, I would love to participate again.

これまでにパラオ、石垣島でマンタに出会うチャンスをのがしていたので、今度こそとの思いでツアーに参加しました。家族はもう無理じゃない？と実のところ後ろ向きでした。しかし、行ってみて本当に良かったです。この日は３枚のマンタが来てくれて、なんどもターンしてくれてもう大感激でした！！今回のハワイ島での体験の中で一番の思い出です。ぜひみなさんもマンタ大学で素晴らしい体験をしてほしいです。またハワイ島にいく機会があれば、もう一度参加したいです。

We had a great time snorkeling and seeing all of the sea life! Thank you for a wonderful trip!

We gathered and departed before 6 AM, and the early start was a bit tough. Shortly after setting sail, we spotted a pod of dolphins and began snorkeling. Due to the busy season, there were many participants, and I was the last to enter the water, so I couldn't see any dolphins. Those who went in first were able to see dolphins swimming right in front of them. It seems that to see the moving dolphins, you really need to go early.

After that, we moved to see turtles, as there are rocky areas where they reside. As expected, since they live among the rocks, we were able to see three turtles swimming slowly around the area. One of them came up right in front of me, probably for air, which was surprising. It was within reach. This was great and I think it became a wonderful memory.

朝の６時前に集合して出発、早いのが少し辛い。
出港早々、イルカの群れを発見しシュノーケル開始。
繁忙期の為、参加者が多く、私は最後に海に入るもイルカは見られず。先頭で入った方々は目の前を泳ぐイルカを見れたとの事。やはり移動して行くイルカを見るには早めに行かないと厳しいみたい。
その後はカメを見に移動、こちらはカメが住み着いている岩場があるという事。流石に岩場に住み着いているという事なので、カメが３頭ゆっくりと岩の周りが泳いでいるのが見れました。
その内の１頭が息継ぎの為か目の前まで上がって来てビックリ。もう手の届く距離でした。
これは良いけど想い出になったと思います。
