I was able to see several manta rays. Some of them came so close that I thought they might bump into me, which was very impressive. I also enjoyed the little fish, similar to horse mackerel, bumping into me. It was my first time snorkeling, but they taught me carefully, so I felt very secure. Although I saw the manta rays at night, the sunset in the evening was also a highlight. However, I think it's better for those who are prone to motion sickness to take some medication beforehand.
何枚ものマンタを見ることが出来ました。
なかにはぶつかるんじゃ無いかと思うくらい近づいてくるマンタもいて、とても迫力があります。アジの様な小魚がぶつかってきたりと、色々と楽しめました。
シュノーケリングは初めてでしたが、丁寧に教えてくれるのでとても安心です。
マンタを見るのは夜になってからですが、夕方のサンセットも見所です。
但し、酔いやすい人は酔い止めの薬を飲んでおいた方が良いと思います。

First of all, I would like to thank all the staff who took care of us!
On the day of the event, the weather was nice, the waves were calm, and the breeze on the boat was pleasant.
I was able to see the honu (sea turtles) coming up for air multiple times, which was enjoyable in itself.
When the sun went down, it felt a bit chilly in the water, so it was a good decision to borrow a wetsuit.
In the morning bus, our guide Julie cheerfully shared important information and details about Oahu, and what stood out to me was that dolphins have developed ultrasonic communication to convey their feelings.
When we arrived at the spot where the dolphins were, we entered the water and saw the dolphins in the distance!
We moved towards the direction of the dolphins with the other participants, but I was lagging behind and felt like crying inside, wanting to swim with the dolphins!! Just then, dolphins started coming towards us from behind!
I was truly moved to be so close that I thought I might touch them!
After that, dolphins swam slowly towards us from all directions, and later I heard there were about 70 of them.
I heard their squeaky sounds multiple times, and their spinning and belly-up courtship poses were absolutely adorable.
Since they are wild animals, I thought I would be happy just to see a few from a distance, so I was beyond happy.
For those who are not confident swimmers, there were floatation devices available for rent, and those who used them were able to move ahead without any issues.
The photos I posted were taken with my inexpensive underwater camera, but the professional photographer took even more beautiful shots, including some from deeper dives, so I think those who bring their own cameras will be satisfied with their purchases.
If you have the opportunity, making a video would be interesting as you can listen to the squeaky sounds and the clicking sounds, which are ultrasonic and hard for humans to hear.
Lastly, I want to thank Julie for the heartfelt send-off, as well as the powerful and warm captain, the cheerful photographer, and all the staff!
I definitely want to participate again!
まずお世話になったスタッフの皆さん、どうもありがとうございました!
参加当日は天気が良く波も穏やかで船上での風も心地よかったです。
何度も息継ぎをするホヌを見掛ける事が出来、それだけでも楽しかったです。
陽が陰ると海の中では肌寒く感じたのでウエットスーツを借りて正解でした。
朝のバス内ではガイドのジュリさんが明るく注意事項やオアフ島の事など教えて下さり中でも印象的だったのがイルカは超音波が発達していて気持ちが伝わるとの事でした。
いざイルカのいる地点に到着し海に入ると遠くからイルカ達が…!
参加者の方々とイルカのいる方向へ進んで行くのですが思う様に進めず一人どんどん遅れてしまい半泣き状態でイルカさん達と泳ぎたいよー!!と心の中で叫んでいたら私の後ろの方からもイルカ達がこちらに向かって水面へ近付いてきてくれました(;_;)
触れてしまうのではないかと思う位の距離に本当に感動しました!
その後も四方八方からイルカ達がゆっくり泳いできてくれて後で聞くと70頭位だったそうです。
キューキューと鳴く声が何度も聞こえ、ぐるぐるスピンする姿やお腹を真上に泳ぐ求愛ポーズなど本当に愛らしいです。
自然の生き物なので、せめて何匹か遠目でも見る事が出来ればなぁと思っていたので言葉に出来ない位に幸せでした。
泳ぎが苦手な方は浮き具の貸し出しもあり利用されていた方はどんどん先に進んでらしたので問題ないと思います。
投稿写真は私の安い水中カメラで撮ったものですが当日カメラマンさんが撮ってくれている写真はもっと綺麗で深く潜った所からのショットもありカメラ持参の方が購入しても満足出来ると思います。
余裕があればムービーにするとキューキューと鳴く声や後で調べた所、人には聞こえ辛いカタカタッとしたクリック音と言う別の超音波も後で聞き直せるので面白いと思います。
最後にお別れの時まで心のこもったお見送りをして下さったジュリさんを始めパワフルであったかいキャプテン、明るくフォローして下さったカメラマンさんやスタッフの皆さんありがとうございました!
是非また参加したいです!
Thank you for participating this time. The photos taken during the experience are wonderful. The clarity is high, and it's clear that the dolphins were friendly. We look forward to your next participation. Mahalo!
この度はご参加頂きありがとうございました。ご地震で撮られたお写真、とっても素敵ですね。透明度も高くイルカ先生もフレンドリーだった様子がとても伝わります。またのご参加をお待ちしております。Mahalo!

I can't swim and was going for my wife. Thank god I went through with it. Off the back the tour was very well organized. 4 crew members including the captain and everyone knew their jobs well and communicated well with us. Very helpful. Very nice breakfast and catamaran sail to lanai island to start with. We saw whales while going to lanai! near lanai we saw a big pod of dolphins. Both times the captain was knowledgeable about steering the boat and showing us the best views. The Dolphins came very close to our boat too! (See attached picture)when we got to the snorkel site- the crew was very empathetic to my lack of swimming skills. They helped me very gently through the entire thing and encouraged me to go into the waters with floats etc. and I'm so glad they did. We snorkeled for an hour at lanai and I had so much fun. After that we sailed back to Lahaina beach while the crew made burgers and we snorkeled at the Lahaina harbor and then ate food. All in all 5 stars to the crew for being on top of everything and at the same time being jovial about it. Definitely recommend taking this day excursion for the views of Maui island and great snorkeling sites. I saw turtles at both sites- and I don't even know how to swim!!

Since it was my first helicopter ride, I chose a slightly luxurious OP tour. The stability was more impressive than I expected. After an exciting takeoff, we headed towards the Kilauea volcano. However, we spent a long time just flying over black lava flows, and I was disappointed to see only a little orange magma from the crater. In the second half, as we headed towards Waipi'o Valley, the scenery changed dramatically, revealing beautiful coastlines reminiscent of a Jurassic Park movie, which made me very satisfied. In Waipi'o Valley, the pilot made wonderful turns, allowing us to enjoy a fantastic time. I couldn't understand what was being said in the English commentary, but I wish they had played a Japanese audio guide as well. Since it was quite a long flight, I think I would have been very satisfied if they had shortened the flight over Kilauea volcano to about a third and offered it at a lower price. According to the hotel staff, the pilots here are all former members of the Army helicopter unit and are exceptional pilots.
初めてのヘリコプターといううことで、ちょっと贅沢なOPツアーを選択しました。思っていたより素晴らしい安定感です。興奮気味での離陸後、キラウエア火山遊覧に向かいます。ところが延々と真っ黒な溶岩流の後ばかり、火口から見えたオレンジ色のマグマはほんの少しでがっかりな時間が続きます。後半はワイピオ渓谷へ向かうと景色は一変、きれいな海岸沿いにジュラシックパークの映画のような風景が現れ大満足です。ワイピオ渓谷ではパイロットが左右に旋回しながら素晴らしい時間を過ごさせていただきました。英語の案内で何を言っているのかわからなかったけど、、、日本語の案内テープでも流してくれればよかったかな。結構、長い時間のフライトなので、キラウエア火山での飛行を3分の1くらいに短縮して、もっとお安くしてくれれば大満足だったと思います。ホテルの人の話ではここのパイロットは陸軍のヘリコプター部隊のOBで抜群の操縦技術者ばかりというう事でした。

I understand that the weather can be unpredictable, so I'll write this with that in mind. Please keep that in consideration as you read.
At the sea turtle observation point, we were guided with a typical foreigner’s vibe. You can take it as fun or annoying.
At the sandbar location, we were dropped off in water that reached our waists, and we had to walk through water that came up to our ankles. It was very cold since the sun wasn't out. In the distance, there were other tours, and I could see the sandbar that I really wanted to see. I thought, why not just go there? But I suspect there are territorial boundaries in place. However, for us participants who paid a lot of money and have limited time, that doesn’t matter. If the sandbar was visible, I wish they had mentioned it.
From start to finish, it felt like a tour that was just taking advantage of Japanese people. That said, this might be something that can be said globally...
天候に左右されるのは承知の上で書きます。
読者側もそれを踏まえてお読み下さい。
ウミガメ観測地点では、適当な外人特有のノリで誘導されます。面白いととるか、ウザいととるか。
サンドバー地点では、今回は水面が腰まであるところで降ろされ、水面がくるぶしのところまで歩かされました。
太陽が出てなかったので非常に寒かったです。
遠方には違うツアーなのか、いかにも見たかったサンドバーが散見されました。
それならばそこまで行けば良いのでは?と思うのですが、おそらく縄張りがあるのではと思います。
しかし、高いお金を払って滞在時間が限られている我々参加者にとっては、そんなの知ったことではありません。
サンドバーが見えているのであれば言ってほしかったです。
最初から最後まで、日本人をカモにしているとしか思えないツアーでした。
とは言いつつ、これは世界的に言えることかもしれませんが。。
Thank you very much for participating in our tour. However, we sincerely apologize for not being able to provide a service that meets your expectations.
Hawaii is warm throughout the year, but we understand that on the day of your tour, the sun was not out, which may have made the water feel cold and caused some participants to feel chilly. We hope you understand that we strive to bring the tour as close as possible to the best locations by boat, with the intention of ensuring everyone enjoys the experience.
Regarding the sandbar, please note that the location where boats can dock is determined by the tour company, and the water levels change daily, which can affect visibility. We appreciate your understanding in this matter.
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us despite your busy schedule.

I had an amazing time! Luckily, I was able to see a sea turtle right in front of me, which was so moving! I had heard that sometimes you can see them and sometimes you can't, so I was very satisfied to see one! I participated in the afternoon tour, and the food on the boat was incredibly delicious, and I ate a lot! The meat, in particular, was really tasty! I didn't go snorkeling; I just kept eating! The ocean was, as expected, like paradise, and it felt much cleaner than Waikiki Beach!
すごく楽しかったです!運良く、目の前で海ガメが見れて感動しました☆海ガメは見れる時と見れない時があると聞いていたのですが、見れて大満足でした!午後のツアーに参加しましたが、船の中でのお食事がすごく美味しくて沢山食べました!特にお肉がすごく美味しかったです!シュノーケリングには行かずに、ずっと食べてました!海も、さすが天国の海というだけあって、ワイキキのビーチよりもすごく綺麗に感じました!

The staff are friendly, and the food was surprisingly enjoyable (my husband had a cheeseburger and I had the boca burger.. also came with all condiments, chips, and drinks). We've been to a couple other snorkeling adventures before, and this one offered pretty much the same entertainment. If you've never tried a snorkel trip and plan to visit Maui, we would still recommend this activity.
Aloha SkeeterNWife,

I participated in a plan that included lunch. At the sandbar, the guide started a volleyball game, so I was able to have fun with others. It was cold after getting out of the water from snorkeling, so it was a good decision to bring a change of clothes. Those who got on the bus in their swimsuits looked quite cold. On the boat, they also served warm drinks.

After we set sail, I thought it was strange that we were heading south, and we kept drifting further away from the Napali Coast. It seems that the waves were too high, and they changed the destination. I was really looking forward to it, so it's a disappointing outcome. I believe there was probably an announcement from the captain before we set off, but I couldn't understand any of the English. At least one small consolation is that I was able to see a whale in the distance.
出航後、南へ向かったのでおかしいなと思っていたのですが、どんどんナパリコーストとは離れていくばかり。どうやら波が高くて行き先を変更したようです。ものすごく楽しみにしていたので悲しい結果です。おそらく出航前に船長からアナウンスがあったとは思いますが、英語がさっぱりわからず。せめてもの救いは、クジラを遠目に見れたことかな。

I returned wearing my swimsuit with a towel draped over me, but I got really cold on the bus. There are no lockers or changing rooms, so it's better to bring extra towels. They were disposing of leftover snacks during the light meal. I wish they had waited until the participants got off. The water level was about knee-deep. It seems the sandbar is around October 10, so those who got to experience it are lucky. The staff were great at getting everyone excited, and there were no issues with their service. Swimming in a line while snorkeling with a large group is challenging, but I saw a lot of cute little fish!

A 9-year-old child participated. I chose this program because it was safe with shallow interactions for kids and I thought it would also help with English learning. However, in the first half, there was a long quiz about aquatic creatures while showing pictures indoors, and my child, who doesn't understand English well, seemed to dislike being mixed in with native children. On the other hand, the time spent in the dolphin pool was somewhat longer, and in the end, my child said it was fun. However, it seems that in other programs, groups with many children were also having shallow interactions, so perhaps those programs would have been better.
9歳の子供が参加しました。子供向けで浅いところでふれあいなので安心だし、英語の勉強にもなると思い、こちらを選びましたが、前半、室内で絵を見せながら水の生き物に関するクイズが長く続いて、ネイティブの子供の中に一人交じって英語もよくわからないので嫌そうでした。ただイルカのプールにいる時間は若干長く、最後は楽しかったと話していました。ただ他のプログラムでも子供が多いグループは浅いところでふれあいをしていたようなので、他のプログラムの方がよかったかも。

I felt sleepy while gathering at 6:05 AM. Since there was an explanation on the bus, I couldn't sleep. I had to pay close attention to this explanation. Also, I recommend having breakfast beforehand! It requires a lot of energy, and I felt quite exhausted. I took motion sickness medication at the hotel, so I didn't get seasick.
I was worried because it had rained all day the previous day, but it was sunny on the day of the trip! There was an explanation that we wouldn't necessarily see wild dolphins 100% of the time, and I was excited while on the boat!
It seems there were nine boats out at sea that day, but we had a hard time finding dolphins. We ended up going to see sea turtles first. Jumping into the sea was thrilling!
We quickly encountered sea turtles and saw them three times; one of them was a large 70-year-old male, which was impressive. The guide mentioned that male turtles are rare. Their breathing poses are so cute! The sea and the fish were very beautiful.
Once we got back on the boat, we received information that dolphins had been found, which was a relief. We moved to search for dolphins and found them!
Wild dolphins pass by in an instant, so it's best to pay attention to the guide's signals. We were able to see a few swim below us and spotted some jumping in the distance.
We moved several times and snorkeled in areas where dolphins might be, so by the end, I was quite exhausted, but it was a lot of fun and a unique experience! I think it was the right choice to do this on the last day since it requires a lot of energy.
All the staff were very nice, and I was able to fully enjoy Hawaii and create wonderful memories.
朝6:05集合のため、眠たいまま集合する感じでした。バスの中では説明があるので、眠ることは出来ません。この説明はしっかり聞いておかなきゃです。
あと、朝食はとっておくことをオススメします!かなり体力を使うので、フラフラになりました。ホテルで酔い止めを飲んでいたので、船酔いはしませんでした。
前日が1日中雨だったので心配でしたが、当日は晴天(*^^*)野生のイルカは100%見れるわけではないと説明があり、ドキドキしながら船上!
当日は全体で9隻海に出でいたらしいのですが、なかなかイルカが見つからず(>_<)先に海ガメに行くことになりました。
海に飛び込むときは、ドキドキ!!
すぐに海ガメと遭遇出来き、3回も会えて、そのうち一匹は70歳のオスで大きくて感動(^-^)vオスは珍しいとガイドさんの説明がありました。息継ぎする姿が可愛い‼
海もお魚もとてもキレイでした。
一旦、船に上がるとイルカがが見つかったと情報があり一安心。
イルカを探しに移動して、発見!
野生のイルカは一瞬で通り過ぎてしまうので、ガイドさんの合図を聞き逃さないようにした方がいいです。

何度か移動して、イルカのいそうなところでシュノーケリングするので最後はフラフラになりますが、とっても楽しめてなかなか出来ない体験!

Since it was a half-day course, I thought it might be a bit lacking, but I was fortunate to have kind lectures and even meet a sea turtle "Little Buddy," making it a very satisfying and exciting tour. The interactions with Mr. Dan during the transportation were enjoyable, and my nice partnership with Chieko-san also made me feel happy. Mahalo!!!
半日コースだったので少し物足りないかな?との思いで参加しましたが、親切なレクチャーとウミガメの”リトル・バディ”にも出会える幸運にも恵まれ、大満足・興奮のツアーでした。送迎中のダン先生とのやり取りも楽しく、ちえこさんとのナイスなパートナー関係にこちらも幸せな気分にさせて頂きました。マハロ~!!!
We are very happy to hear that you enjoyed the Hanauma Bay snorkeling tour! On that day, our little buddy, who usually stays out in the ocean, came to play inside and swam with everyone, which was so much fun. I hope you were able to download the photos without any issues. Please come back and visit us again when you're in Hawaii. Also, at Blue Hawaii Divers, we offer experience diving at Hanauma Bay, so if you're interested, we highly recommend it. Thank you! Mahalo!!
ハナウマ湾シュノーケリングツアーを満喫していただけた様で、私達もとても嬉しいです!!あの日はいつもは沖の方にいるリトルバディがインサイドに遊びに来てくれていて、皆さんと一緒に泳いでくれてとても楽しかったですね。お写真も無事ダウンロードしていただけたかと思います。またハワイにお越しの際には皆さんで遊びに来てくださいね。それとブルーハワイダイバースではハナウマ湾での体験ダイビングも開催していますので、もし良かったらこちらもオススメです。ありがとうございました。Mahalo!!

My daughter and a friend decided to stay in Oahu over spring break instead of coming home. They had planned bus trips for Hanauma Bay as well as North Shore during the week. After having a horrible time with the bus schedules and waiting to get to their destinations, I decided to get them tickets for the shuttle. So glad I did! They had a really good time, hassle free of buses and hotel pick up and drop off was perfect for them. The trip to the bay made their spring break! So glad I found this site, and we will use them again when we visit her over Thanksgiving this year!

IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO GET IN AND OUT OF THE WATER. HALF THE PASSENGERS WERE THROWING UP. THE LUNCH WAS NOT A BBQ , BUT COLD CUTS. THEY SHOULD HAVE HAD SOMETHING TO HELP THE PASSENGERS WITH MOTION SICKNESS

It was absolutely amazing! (^O^)
I went in the afternoon, and the sandbar was about knee-deep.
But sitting down and taking pictures actually allowed me to appreciate the beauty of the sea even more!
The ocean was sparkling, and I felt like I could stay there forever!
There weren't as many colorful fish while snorkeling as I expected, but I was able to swim with a sea turtle! ♪♪♪
I was desperately trying not to touch the sea turtle as it swam away! Haha!
It was really great to see it up close!
I was able to see several from the boat as well.
Leonard's malasadas and lunch were really delicious!
If I have the chance to go to Hawaii again, I definitely want to participate again!!!
The guide and the captain were also really nice!
とにかく最高でした(^O^)
午後の便で行きましたがサンドバーはひざ下くらいでした。
でも座って写真撮ったりするのには逆に海の綺麗さが伝わって良かったかな!
とにかく海がキラキラしててずっとここにいれる〜!って感じでした。
シュノーケリングは思ったほどカラフルな魚はいなかったですが、なんと!海ガメと泳ぐことができました♪♪♪
海ガメを触らないようにこっちが逃げるの必死でした!笑
ほんとーに間近で見られてとっても良かったです!
船の上からも何匹も見ることできました。
レナーズのマラサダ、ランチとっても美味しかった
です!
またハワイに行く機会があれば絶対参加したいです!!!
ガイドの方、船長さんもとっても良い方でした!
Aloha! Thank you for joining the Captain Bruce's Paradise of the Sea tour. For Misapon, who was chased by a sea turtle (?!), I hope a lot of luck comes your way! Please come back to Hawaii again. We will be waiting for that day with the sea turtles. Mahalo.
アロハ!キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーへご参加ありがとうございました。
海ガメに追いかけられた(!?)みさぽん様にはたくさ〜んのラッキーが届くのでは?
ぜひまたハワイにお越しの際は遊びに来て下さいね。
その日をウミガメとともにお待ちしてます。マハロ。

My boyfriend and I were in Hawaii last week with friends and this was one of the highlights of our trip! We stayed at Sheraton Waikiki so this catamaran was an easy walk right next door along the beach. They take you out about 15 mins into the ocean where we snorkeled and saw 300lb sea turtles that swim right next to you! After snorkeling grab a spot on the nets and you're in for a fun ride over some waves! The staff is fun and friendly as well!

Other than my spouse and I, everyone was American, and it was a bit difficult to understand the conversation, which was disappointing. However, the captain drove the boat like a roller coaster, and it was thrilling and fun. We saw a lot of dolphins, and I was happy to see a whale as well. I think this was a very satisfying and memorable optional tour.
私達夫婦以外はアメリカ人で、会話が分り難く、その辺りは残念でしたが、キャプテンがボートをジェットコースターのように運転してくれて、スリリングで楽しかった。イルカも沢山見れたし、クジラが見れたのは嬉しかった。
大満足の記憶に残るオプショナルツアーと思います。

I hope you were able to experience the magnificent nature of the Big Island. It would be wonderful if you could remember the enchanting world of night snorkeling even back in Japan.
We look forward to your next visit. Mahalo!
この度はご参加頂きありがとうございました。
ハワイ島の雄大な自然を体感して頂けたのではないでしょうか。夜のシュノーケリングの幻想的な世界をまた日本でも思い出して頂ければ何よりです。
またのお越しをお待ちしております。Mahalo!
