Hawaii
I was able to fulfill my dream of "swimming with dolphins"! Both the guide and the captain were truly wonderful people, and they know the waters of Kona inside and out, making for a completely satisfying tour without any complaints.
Moreover, we stopped the boat for just a few minutes before spotting dolphins. While it seems that such luck doesn't happen every time, thanks to Captain K's sound judgment, we were able to encounter the dolphins quickly. He was able to instantly gauge the direction the pod was moving and efficiently took us to the dolphin spot without wasting any time.
This time, the dolphins seemed to be in a great mood, and we saw around 50 of them! They were close enough to reach out and touch (though touching the dolphins is prohibited). It was truly an unforgettable experience.
Guide R, despite being young, was very knowledgeable about Hawaii's history and shared many interesting things with us after the tour. I absolutely recommend this dolphin tour!
「イルカと一緒に泳ぐ」という夢を叶えられました!!
ガイドさん船長さん共に本当にお人柄がよく、コナの海を知り尽くしているので
何の不満もなく大満足のツアーでした☆
しかもイルカ発見まで船を停めてほんの数分、、毎回こんな都合が言い訳ではないようですが
K船長の正しい判断のおかげでイルカたちにすぐ出会えました。
しかもちゃんとイルカの群れが動く方向を瞬時に見極め、無駄なく私たちをイルカスポットに連れて行ってくれます。
今回はイルカの機嫌もとても良かったようで、ざっと50頭は見れました!
そして手を伸ばせば触れられる距離(イルカに触れるのは禁止)。。もう言うことなしの感動です。
ガイドのRさんもお若いのにハワイの歴史を詳しくご存知で、ツアー後もたくさん色んなことを教えてくれました。
ここのイルカツアーは絶対におすすめです!
Wonderful crew and captain, thoroughly enjoyed the trip. The food was great and the service was wonderful. Molokini was beautiful and was well worth the trip, visibility to at least 80 feet! Soo many fish! Would definitely recommend to anyone who wants to do something different and spend a half day snorkeling but still have time for to do something else after.
We participated with our son's girlfriend. The weather was perfect, and we were on a boat that could hold about 50 people. In the past, I had a trauma from a shaky boat in Thailand, but this time it didn't rock at all, and it was very comfortable. For lunch, we could choose our favorite drinks and eat as much salad as we wanted. The staff was very kind and always attentive. I was so happy that I didn't have to give a tip, but I decided to be generous. At the bow of the boat, dolphins joyfully led the way in groups, and the cliffs of Na Pali were breathtakingly beautiful no matter where you looked. I'm really glad we went.
息子の彼女と私たち夫婦で参加しました。お天気は最高で、50人乗り位のボート。
昔、タイで揺れたボートにトラウマでしたが、今回は全然揺れなくって、快適でした。
ランチは、好きな飲み物をもらって、サラダも食べたいだけ食べれて。スタッフもとても親切。いつも気にかけてくれました。嬉しくてチップ渡さなくてもいいのだけど、奮発しました。
船首の先をイルカたちが楽しそうに群れでリードしたり、ナパリの崖はどこを見ても圧倒される美しさ。本当に行ってよかった。
ご乗船いただきありがとうございました。お楽しみいただけたこと、そしてしっかりとお世話をし、情報を提供できたことを嬉しく思います。再度のご参加、ありがとうございました!マハロとアロハ。
It was a pleasure to have you aboard and we are thrilled to hear how much you enjoyed it and how well taken care of and informed you were. Thank you again for joining us! Mahalo and Aloha
I'll start with the positive.
The crew is young and enthusiastic. Everyone had smiles and was helpful with the gear.
This is a great excursion for tourists and beginner snorkelers. Great vivews of the Eastern part of the island and a pleasant swim with sea life. The crew teaches everyone how to use the equipment and will help people in the water. They spend about 20 minutes at each site so, for experienced snorkelers, it can be a little dull.
The hotel pickup was on time and the driver was good. The van is new and the ride was smooth.
You will be visiting with Spinner Dolphins. They are small dolphin and swim in pods of 30. The captain knows their favorite spots and will make sure you get to swim with them. By law, you will need to be wearing a life jacket to do this part of the swim. We got to see two pods. It was delightful. This tour company was knowledgeable about dolphins and is conerned with their safety.
We stopped at two more snorkeling locations. The fist stop was a small cove and the second had turtles.
The lunch at the Spinner cafe was good. I had the breakfast burrito and it was tasty and well prepared. The menu is small but the portions are big. The pancakes looked really good.
The reason for my 3 stars is not the quality of the company but an incident I had. The crew should be better trained in basic fist aid. I ended up treating myself with the supplies I keep in my bag. After asking if I was okay, no one helped or checked on my for the rest of the trip.
I would recommend this for people visiting Ohau and beginner snorkelers.
Warm Aloha,
Thank you very much for taking the time to post about your experience. We are sorry to hear about your incident.
Your feedback has been shared with the activity provider to better serve future guests.

Snorkeling was amazing, saw lots of turtles and other wildlife! Lovely sail after ksnorkeling was real relaxing. Great, fun and friendly crew. Definitely would recommend!
I saw the beauty of Molokini Island on TV and thought I should visit. I was a little worried about getting seasick, but with the guidance of our guide, MIHO, I was able to enjoy the experience until the end. At the point where we could see sea turtles, I was satisfied to see them swimming leisurely up close, but my husband unfortunately missed the chance, so he says he wants to try again. Thank you, MIHO!
テレビでモロキニ島の美しさを見て、行ってみようと思いました。
船酔いしないか少し心配でしたが、ガイドのMIHOさんの案内で最後まで楽しく過ごすことが出来ました。海がめの見えるポイントでは海がめがすぐ近くで悠々と泳いでる姿を見ることができたので満足でしたが、主人はタイミング悪く見ることが出来なかったので、またリベンジしたいと言っています。MIHOさんお世話になりました!
This is my second time at Heaven's Sea. The guide, instructor Yuki, and Ashley were really fun.
Yuki's quick and accurate advice was wonderful! She also adjusted her instructions to suit the Japanese participants.
Thank you for seeing us off at the bus until the end! I will participate again.
2回めの天国の海です

We participated as a couple, and it was a more exciting cruise than we had imagined. I personally had a great time, but I think those who are prone to motion sickness would have a very painful experience, as it was difficult to stand properly for about three hours. You need to be prepared for that. However, during the cruise, the captain played JD and we enjoyed some great music, which was very nice. Along the way, we encountered dolphins and turtles, and the views of the beautiful islands were stunning. We ended with a toast with champagne at sunset.
夫婦で参加しましたが、想像したよりもエキサイティングなクルーズでした。
まともに立っていられない状態が3時間ほど続き、私自身は楽しかったですが、乗り物いする方は大変苦痛な時間を過ごされると思います。覚悟が必要と思いますが、クルーズ中船長がJDをしてロックが流れてとてもNiceでした。
途中イルカや亀にも出会い、素晴らしい島の景色と最後はサンセットにシャンペンで乾杯です。
私たちのスタッフや水上での体験を楽しんでいただけたことを聞けて素晴らしいです!ご参加いただき、素晴らしいレビューをありがとうございます!マハロとアロハ。
It's wonderful to hear how much you enjoyed our staff, and all that you experienced out on the water! Thank you so much for joining us and for your awesome review! Mahalo and Aloha
Despite the rain and bad weather at the time of departure, the crew made it enjoyable, and I had a great time. I was a bit disappointed that there were fewer types of fish than I expected, so I thought it would be nice if we could go a little further out.
出航時は雨が降り悪天候にも関わらず、乗組員に盛り上げて頂き楽しかったです。思ったより、魚の種類が少なくて残念だったので、もう少し遠出できるといいのかと思いました。
The transparency of the water at Molokini Island is truly amazing. You can see the fish swimming clearly even from the boat.
We had a Japanese guide named Takako, which made it easy to enjoy the tour with peace of mind.
I think the price is a great deal considering breakfast, lunch (the hamburger is delicious!), and non-alcoholic drinks (soft drinks included).
P.S. Due to the winds typical of Maui, there can be some rocking of the boat. You might experience a bit of seasickness...
「モロキニ島」海の透明度が、本当に凄いです。船の上からでも泳いでいる魚が、しっかり見えるほど透きとおってます。
日本人ガイドのタカコさんがいたので、安心してツアーを楽しむ事が出来ました。
朝食、昼食(ハンバーガーが美味い‼︎)、アルコールフリー(ソフトドリンクも)で、この値段はお得だと思います。
PS.マウイ島に付きものの風の影響で、船の揺れがあります。多少の船酔いはあるかも…
I participated in a tour that took us around Kilauea Volcano, over Hilo, along the eastern coastline of the Big Island, and through Waipi'o Valley. It was my first experience in a helicopter, and I was truly moved by the magnificent natural scenery of the Big Island. The pilot provided guidance in both English and Japanese, which made for an immersive and informative experience. I highly recommend this tour to anyone.
キラウエア火山、ヒロの上空、ハワイ島東部の海岸線、ワイピオ渓谷を周遊するコースに参加しました。ヘリコプターも初めての体験で、本当に素晴らしい雄大なハワイ島の自然の景観を目の当たりにして感動のフライトでした。 パイロットは英語と日本語でガイドしていただけたので臨場感たっぷりの説明が聞けて素晴らしい体験ができたと思います。 どなたにもお勧めできるツアーです。
I made a reservation without checking the low tide schedule, and when I arrived, there was no sand, just water everywhere.
As for the snacks... the main wrap was too rich with cheese rolls and cream cheese, making it inedible.
However, I was glad to experience stand-up paddleboarding.
Next time, I will check the low tide and try again.
干潮の時刻を調べず予約してしまい、行ったら砂地はなく、どこも海でした。
軽食は・・・メインのラップが、チーズロールさらにクリームチーズでくどくて食べれず・・・
スタンドアップパドルが体験できたのがよかった。
次は干潮を確認してリベンジします。
Aloha! Thank you very much for participating in the Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour. We sincerely apologize that you were not satisfied with the meal. We are constantly making various efforts to ensure our customers are as satisfied as possible with their meals. We would be delighted if you could give us another chance next time and leave satisfied! All of our staff are looking forward to your next visit.
アロハ!キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーです。この度はご参加いただき誠にありがとうございました。食事にご満足していただけなかったとのこと、申し訳ございませんでした。食事に関しては、様々な工夫をしてお客様に少しでも満足していただけるように、日々努力をしております。次回リベンジしていただいた際には、ご満足いただけると嬉しいです!!またのお越しをスタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げております。
I enjoyed the local beauty and fun, along with the cheerful service from the staff. It was also great that we could visit Tantalus Lookout as a free bonus.
現地の美しさ楽しさとともにスタッフの明るい対応など気持ちよく楽しめました。無料特典でタンタレスの丘へ行けたのもよかったです。
I was alone, but I had no problems and enjoyed myself. I was able to see dolphins as soon as we arrived at the spot. I was surprised that I could see so many dolphins up close like that. The scenery felt unreal. The snorkeling at the next location was also wonderful, with the beautiful blue sea and colorful fish swimming everywhere. I even saw a turtle, so I was very satisfied.
一人でしたが、なんの問題もなく楽しめました。イルカは、ポイント(?)に着いたところですぐに見ることが出来ました。あんなに沢山のイルカをあんな間近に見ることが出来るとは思って無かったので驚きました。現実のものとは思えない景色でした。場所を移動してのシュノーケリングも、綺麗なブルーの海に色鮮やかな魚がそこここで泳いでいて、こちらもとても素敵でした。亀も見れたし満足です。
ALOHA! Peach,
Thank you for participating in Dolphin Middle School this time. It was lucky that you were able to encounter Dolphin-sensei right away!
Please join us again when you come to Hawaii. All of our staff are looking forward to welcoming you.

I do not recommend this for people who are prone to seasickness. This is because I had an unexpected experience of getting seasick while snorkeling in the waves, and even though I drank a seasickness prevention drink beforehand, it didn't help at all, making the trip back and forth quite painful and disappointing. I might have been able to prevent it by taking seasickness medication, but I don't have the courage to try again. The spot where I was looking forward to seeing sea turtles was also dependent on the weather, so I couldn't see them. I think it's better for those who get seasick to find a good beach where they can snorkel from there. The guide was a kind person.
船酔いしやすい人にはオススメしません。
なぜなら、シュノーケルをしながら海の波に酔う、と言う予想外な体験をし、船酔い予防のドリンクを事前に飲みましたが、全く効かず、行きも帰りも辛いだけとなってしまい残念でした。
酔い止めの薬を飲めば防げたのかも知れませんが、もう一度トライする勇気はありません。
楽しみにしていた海亀が見れるスポットも、自然の天候次第とのことで見られず、船酔いする方は、シュノーケルが出来る良いビーチを探し、そこからされる方が良いと思います。
ガイドの方は優しい方でした。
The main focus of this tour was on the water slide and jumps on the boat. A good activity for families with young children. The snorkelling was average, as was the snorkelling gear provided. Most people snorkelled only for about 20 minutes before getting back to the boat. We saw a lot of dolphins on the way back though, which was excellent. Overall, a good activity got families. As a young couple, we felt it was a bit too noisy for us.
Seconds after we got to the snorkeling spot, one of the guides emerged from the water holding an octopus, which everyone got to see and interact with. There were probably 7 or 8 sea turtles of all sizes and ages around us the whole time we were in the water, in addition to the tropical fish and moray eels on the reef. It was absolutely incredible.
It was a tour that was definitely worth the early morning wake-up! Although the weather was unfortunately cloudy, a pod of dolphins came right in front of us, and we were able to swim with them. I was moved to see a baby dolphin as well! The snorkeling was fantastic, and we got to see sea turtles up close. Thanks to taking motion sickness medication beforehand, I didn't feel sick at all and had a fun day.
The crew members were wonderful people who always kept us entertained, so I definitely want to participate again. Next time, I’d like to join a manta ray tour on the Big Island!
とても朝は早起きしないといけませんが、その価値は十分にあるツアーでした!
ちょっと天気は残念な曇り空でしたが、
イルカの群れが目の前にたくさんきてくれて、一緒に泳ぐことができました。
赤ちゃんイルカも一緒に見れて感動しました!
シュノーケルではウミガメも間近に見れてとってもよかったです。
事前に酔い止めを飲んでいたおかげか、まったく酔うこともなく楽しい1日を過ごせました。
クルーの方々も常に私達を楽しませてくれる素敵な人達でしたので、ぜひまた参加したいと思います。
今度はハワイ島のマンタのツアーに参加してみたいです!
ALOHA!
Thank you for participating in the Dolphin Junior High this time. It was the best day to meet Dolphin Sensei, baby dolphins, and sea turtles! Please join us again when you come to Hawaii. We are also waiting for you on the Big Island!

This is a top day out .with a lovely Hawaii style breekie and lunch .,the best boat lots of room ,very professional done ,in a relaxed and fun filled day ,lots of Dolphins ,highly recommend
Unfortunately, it rained on and off from the morning, but after we set sail, the weather cleared up a bit and we were able to enjoy the tour. The guide was full of energy, and while the customers seemed to struggle a bit to keep up with her enthusiasm (laughs), we appreciated her consideration for us with children.
Once we set sail, we started with turtle watching, but the turtles are smaller than dolphins and only come to the surface for a moment, so I wasn't able to see any swimming turtles. However, we were lucky to spot some turtles basking on the rocks, and I was able to take some good photos. The sandbar had decent tides that day, so the water depth was around my ankles to my calves. It was a strange feeling standing in a place far from land.
After taking photos, I stayed on the sandbar with my kindergarten-aged daughter while my husband and elementary school-aged child went snorkeling. The snorkeling group swam in a line with the guides, but the people in front weren't moving very quickly, causing quite a traffic jam for those in the back, leading to some bumping into each other. I understand that the swimming abilities of the participants played a role in this, but I wish we could have swum a bit more freely.
While the snorkeling was a bit disappointing, I think we had a fun and enjoyable tour overall. Thank you very much.
この日はあいにく朝から雨が降ったり止んだりでしたが、出航後は少し晴れてツアーを楽しむことができました。ガイドのお姉さんは元気いっぱいでそのテンションにお客さんが若干ついていけてない感じもありましたが(笑)子連れの私たちを気遣ってくれてありがたかったです。出航するとまずウミガメウォッチングですが、ウミガメはイルカより小さく水面に出るのが一瞬なので泳いでいるカメは私は見られませんでした。ですが運よく甲羅干し中のカメたちがいて、しっかりと写真に撮ることもできました。サンドバーは潮がそこそこいい日だったので水深は足首~ふくらはぎくらい。陸地から離れた場所に立っている不思議な感覚が味わえました。写真撮影後、私は幼稚園児の娘とサンドバーに残りましたが夫と小学生の子供はシュノーケルへ。シュノーケル組はガイドさんたちと一列になって泳ぐのですが、前の人たちがなかなか進まず後ろの方はかなり渋滞して、手足がぶつかったりと大変だったとのことです。参加者の泳力の問題もあるので仕方ないとは思いますが、もう少しフリーで泳げたらよかったなぁと思います。シュノーケルは少し残念でしたが、他は楽しくいいツアーに参加できたと思います。ありがとうございました。
It was the most wonderful experience with my family. We went the morning program and the weather was great (not too sunny but not too cloudy). The staff crews and captain are wonderful to serve every single passenger. Ola, one of staff remembers our names and keep checking us often. Dolphins were waiting for our Body Grove boat and played with our boat both ways from/to the spot. The snorkeling was beautiful ever and the meals were also wonderful. My wife had a motion sickness and hard time to survive but all other four family members had life-long unforgettable memory. If you have motion sickness, better to prepare some medicine to prevent it. My kids enjoyed the high jumps. There are some waves. Thanks to Captain and all crews.
Mahalo for joining us! We're very pleased that you had a great time and appreciate your kind words! We hope you can join us again in the future!
We went to Hawaii for our honeymoon and participated in this tour! Since it was overseas, I had some concerns, but they explained everything thoroughly and provided transportation, allowing us to experience it without any worries.
I was excited to see dolphins, and we were able to see a pod of wild dolphins not once, but twice! It was an emotional and joyful experience like nothing I had ever felt before! Swimming with turtles and fish was also a lot of fun!
On the boat, we enjoyed delicious hamburgers and snacks, and since we were a bit tired from traveling, we were able to take a nap at our own pace, which was great. They took many wonderful photos, and looking back at them brings back those joyful memories.
The tour staff created a very fun atmosphere, making it the best memory of our honeymoon. I highly recommend this experience to anyone considering a marine adventure!
新婚旅行でハワイに行き、このツアーに参加しました! 海外ということもあり不安な点もありましたが、丁寧に説明してくださり送迎もしてくださりなんの不安もなく体験することができました。
イルカに出会えるかドキドキでしたが、二回も野生のイルカの群れを見ることができました!今までに経験したことのない、感動と嬉しさでした!
また亀や魚と一緒に泳げたのも楽しかったです!
船の上では美味しいハンバーガーやお菓子をいただき、旅疲れが出ていた頃で昼寝もさせてもらい…自分のペースで楽しむことができ良かったです。
素敵な写真もたくさんの撮っていただき、後から見返すとまた楽しかった思い出が蘇ります♪
ツアーのスタッフの方たちもとても楽しい雰囲気を作ってくださり、ハネムーンの1番の思い出になりました。海での体験を考えている方にぜひオススメしたいです!
ALOHA!! Thank you for participating in Dolphin University! We are glad to have been a part of your wonderful honeymoon memories. Please do come back and re-enroll at Dolphin Middle School and University when you visit Hawaii again! MAHALO!!
ALOHA!! この度はイルカ大学にご参加頂きありがとうございました! 素敵なハネムーンの思い出の一つになることができて幸いです。 また是非、ハワイに遊びにいらした際にはイルカ中学・大学に再入学しに来てくださいね! MAHALO!!
The tour was accompanied by a Japanese guide, and there was nothing unclear in the explanations. About 80% of the participants were honeymoon couples. However, although it was sunny on the day of the tour, it had rained for several days prior, so unfortunately, the water clarity was not satisfactory. It's a shame. There were participants who did not wear life jackets and were almost drowning. Even if you're confident in your swimming ability, it's better to wear a life jacket. It can be a nuisance to other participants as well.
It was nice to have warm drinks and light snacks after coming out of the water.
日本語ガイド付きで、説明が分からないことはありませんでした。
参加者は約8割はハネムーンのカップルでした。
ただ、当日は晴天だったのですが、それまで数日雨が続いたそうで、残念ながら透明度は満足できるものではなかったです。残念。
ライフジャケットを付けない参加者がいて、溺れそうになっていました。泳ぎに自信があってもライフジャケットはつけた方がいいです。他の参加者にも迷惑になります。
海から上がった後に暖かい飲み物や軽食がもらえたのはよかったです。
We arrived at the helipad we spotted on the way from the airport to the hotel, picked up by the Mauna Kea Beach Hotel. We were the only Japanese couple there. We received instructions in fast-paced English, but as long as we could catch some words, we managed. We stored everything except our cameras and water bottles in lockers, put on life vests, and waited while watching a safety video. Everyone was excited by the sound of the helicopter returning with the previous group. After the helicopter returned and underwent maintenance, we had to wait quite a while. Due to nerves, everyone kept needing the restroom, but there was only one unisex restroom, so it got crowded.
There were about 20 people in our time slot. We were grouped based on our participation unit and weight, and we shared the helicopter with two other couples and six individuals. We communicated through headphones and handheld microphones. Even if you're not good at English, the staff is friendly and engages in conversation, so it's fine to speak in broken English.
As we ascended, background music played effectively, and the optimal music for each spot was prepared, which further lifted the mood. Unfortunately, I have a weak vestibular system, and shortly after ascending, I started feeling nauseous and couldn't look down when we approached the most scenic spot near the magma. I managed not to throw up, but I held onto an etiquette bag the whole time. The etiquette bag was stuck in front of my seat, but since I was firmly secured with the seatbelt, it was out of reach for someone petite. I couldn't reach it, so I gestured to my tall husband to get it for me, but I think those with a weak vestibular system should move it closer to them beforehand.
Unfortunately, I felt nauseous, but it was undoubtedly a valuable experience to see breathtaking spots that are normally inaccessible up close.
マウナケアビーチホテルからのピックアップで空港からホテルへ向かう道中に見かけたヘリポートに到着。日本人は私達夫婦だけでした。早口の英語で指示を受けますが、単語が聞き取れればなんとかなります。カメラとペットボトル以外はロッカーに入れて救命胴衣を装着、安全ビデオを見てその時を待ちます。前の時間帯のパーティーを乗せたヘリが戻って来る音でみんな大興奮。前機戻って来てヘリの整備やらでその後結構待ちました。緊張でみんなトイレが近くなるのですが、トイレが男女共用で1つしかないので混雑します。
同じ時間帯の組は20名ほどでした。参加単位と体重で乗る組み合わせを振り分けられ私達はカップル2組と6名で同乗。ヘッドホンと手持ちのマイクで会話します。英語が苦手でも楽しく話しかけてくれるので片言でも大丈夫です。
上昇とともに効果的にBGMが流され、スポット毎に最適なBGMが用意されているのでさらに気分が盛り上がります。
私は三半規管が弱いため上昇してほどなくして気持ちが悪くなってしまい、一番の絶景スポットのマグマへの接近で下を向くことができませんでした。なんとか戻すことはありませんでしたが、ずっとエチケット袋を抱えていました。座席前に刺さっているエチケット袋ですが、身体ががっつりシートベルトで固定されているので小柄な方では手が届きません。私は届かず背の高い主人にジェスチャーで即して取ってもらいましたが、三半規管が弱い方は事前に手元に移動しておいた方がいいと思います。
生憎気持ちが悪くなってしまいましたが、普通では立ち入れない絶景スポットを目近で見られるので、とても貴重な経験が出来たことは間違いありません。
This was absolutely one of the best things we did while here! The crew was amazing and very attentive. Awesome with our young kids and the food is perfect! We saw lots of fish and 2 turtles while snorkeling. We will definitely do this again!!!
Great day of snorkeling and sailing, Crew was professional, friendly, and competent.
We participated as a family with our 1-year-old and 4-year-old children. It was their first time cruising. Fortunately, they didn't get seasick and were very satisfied with the beautiful sea and delicious hamburgers. The water level at the sandbar was high that day, so the kids couldn't put their feet in (but it wasn't a problem since I was holding them). We also got to see sea turtles, and it was a fun experience that created great memories.
1歳と4歳の子供を連れ、家族で参加しました。子供達は初めてのクルージングです。
ですが、乗り物酔いもなく綺麗な海と美味しいハンバーガーに大満足でした^ ^
その日はサンドバーの水位が高く、子供は足をつける事ができませんでしたが(抱っこしていたので問題なしです)
海亀も観れて終始楽しむ事ができ良い思い出となりました^ ^
I really wanted to go to the sandbar, and although I had given up because reservations were full, it seems there was a cancellation just before my departure. Checking VELTRA every day until the last minute paid off!
The weather was cloudy in the morning, but it was sunny at the location, making it incredibly beautiful! When I first got off the boat, I was surprised by how deep the water was. At 158 cm tall, I was submerged up to my chest. It probably varies by season, but those who are shorter should be cautious at first. However, after moving a little further in, I was able to walk, and the water was indeed beautiful! We also saw plenty of sea turtles. Later, we went snorkeling at another spot, but my husband and I stayed on the boat to watch everyone. The sea turtles swam quite close to those snorkeling.
Here are some notes I remember, which might be helpful for those planning to go:
- If you use a waterproof case for your smartphone (available at ABC Store) for too long, a "High Temperature Warning" message will appear on the screen, making it unusable! I wanted to take photos and videos the whole time, but be careful.
- During lunch, it's a buffet style on the boat, so there will be quite a line. Therefore, those who come out of the water early should line up as soon as possible.
- The wind is strong on the boat, so be careful as various items (like lettuce and snacks) on your lunch plate may blow away.
- There is a restroom on the boat, which is reassuring. However, the flushing mechanism can be a bit confusing at first. You need to press a larger lever located under the toilet to flush.
- If you just want to enjoy the scenery, you can stay on the boat the whole time, so you can participate with peace of mind.
Overall, it was a very satisfying tour! I would love to do it again!
どうしても行きたかったサンドバー、予約いっぱいで諦めてましたが、直前にキャンセルが出たのか?出発直前までVELTRAさんを毎日チェックしていた甲斐がありました。
天気は朝は曇ってましたが、現地では晴れたのでメチャメチャ綺麗でした♪
最初、船から降りた時には海が深くて驚きました。身長158で、胸がすっぽり隠れるくらいまで浸かってしまいました。時期によって違うのでしょうが、身長の低い方は最初要注意です。でも少しだけ進むと歩けるようになり、海はやっぱり綺麗でした!!
そしてウミガメもいっぱい見れました。後半別の場所でシュノーケリングをするのですが、私たち夫婦は船上でみなさんの様子を見てましたが、シュノーケリングしてる方のかなり近くまでウミガメが泳いでました。
以下、箇条書きで覚えている事を記載するので、これから行く方の参考に少しでもなれば♪
・スマホの防水ケース(ABCストアで売ってる)をずっと使用してるとスマホの画面に「高温注意」という文字が出て使用不可になる!ずっと写真、動画撮っていたいですが、注意です。
・ランチの時は船内でバイキング形式で順番に取っていくので、かなり並びます。なので、海から早く上がった人は早めに並んだ方が◎。
・船上は風が強いので、ランチのプレートに乗せた色々(レタスとかスナックとか)飛ばされるので注意です。
・船内にもトイレがあるので安心です。が、水の流し方が一見分かりにくいです。便器の下にある大き目のレバー?みたいなのを押すと流れます。
・景色だけ楽しみたい方は、ずっと船上にもいれるので安心して参加できます。
全体的に大満足のツアーでした^^
またリピートしたいです!
This was amazing! I am so glad we picked this as an activity! I would do this again if we ever make it back to Oahu. We saw sharks from the minute we got out and they were around us the entire time. It was a little intimidating at first, but the guides were always watchful above and below the water so I felt as safe as you possible could be given the chosen activity. The only thing I would say could be better was finding what area you are suppose to be to board the boat, there are no signs for check in or really where you are suppose to be and I wish I would have taken my camera I wanted some pictures but felt the group rate was too high. I would recommend this to anyone!
The content of the tour was good, but it rained and was cold on the day, so I gave up on seeing the coral reefs. Also, the sandbar was submerged due to high tide, so the beach was not visible.
ツアーの内容は良かったのですが、当日雨が降って寒かったのでサンゴ礁をみるのは断念しました。またサンドバーも満潮で砂浜は見えませんでした。
