It's completely different from the photos. 写真とは大違い

Reviewed by: よこよこ

We participated as a family. I was really looking forward to it after seeing the photos, but on that day, due to high tide, the water was up to our waists, and my 85-year-old grandmother and 1-year-old child couldn't get off the boat. Even though I had asked questions in advance, it was disappointing, as it is not a cheap tour.

The Japanese female guide was friendly and funny, and it was great to see manta rays and sea turtles.

If you are considering participating, I think it's better to check the tide conditions for that day beforehand.

家族で参加しました。
写真を見て、とても楽しみにしていたのですが、この日は満潮ということで、腰のあたりまで水があり、85歳の祖母と1歳の子供は船から降りることができませんでした。
事前に質問して問い合わせていただけに、いくら自然のこととはいえ残念な気持ちになりました。決して安いツアーではありませんので。。

ガイドの日本人女性は気さくなおもしろい方でしたし、マンタやウミガメを見られたことはよかったのですが。

参加を検討される場合は、その日の潮の状況も確認してからの方が良いと思います。

It's the best memory. 最高の思い出です

Reviewed by: Toshi

My wife and I participated together. Before joining, I heard great things about Daisuke, and I thought if I was going to swim with dolphins, it had to be with him. After the tour, we all agreed it was "the best!" and it became a wonderful memory.

Before departure, they mentioned it would take about 40 to 50 minutes to reach the dolphin encounter point, but luckily, we encountered a pod of dolphins just 5 minutes after setting off! We quickly dove in and had the best time with the dolphins. Throughout the experience, I was very satisfied to feel Daisuke's passion for dolphins and his energy to share their charm! When I go to Hawaii again, I will definitely participate again!

嫁と二人で参加したました。
参加前にダイスケさんの評判を知りイルカと泳ぐならダイスケさんだと思い、
申し込みましたがツアーが終わった後には口を揃えて「最高だった!」と言える程、
素敵な思い出になりました。

出発前には「イルカと出会えるポイントまで40~50分程度」と言っていましたが、ラッキーなことに出発して5分でイルカの群れに遭遇!早速潜ってイルカとの最高の時間を過ごすことができました。終始ダイスケさんのイルカに対する想いと、その魅力を伝えたいというエネルギーに触れられ大満足です!ハワイに行く際には、また参加します!

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>

It was cold, but it was fun. 寒かった、けれど楽しかった。

Reviewed by: タカちゃん

We went to Hawaii again as a couple during Silver Week. This time, I wanted to include snorkeling at Hanauma Bay, so I booked this tour. To be honest, I initially applied for the tour "Hanauma Bay with a Certified Veteran Guide," which had many reviews and experiences, but it was not available, so I chose this tour instead. Unfortunately, it rained from the morning. During snorkeling, there was heavy rain and waves, and the sand was stirred up, making it difficult to see the fish clearly. Moreover, the approximately one hour of snorkeling was cold, and I was shivering after getting back on land.

However, I can't go against nature, so I hope to try again on a sunny day next time. I have snorkeled at several places in Honolulu, but when it comes to seeing fish, it can't compare to Guam, Saipan, or Southeast Asia's Cebu and Phuket.

Nonetheless, I think the tour was very good because the guide explained everything earnestly and assisted us well. Another highlight was that we unexpectedly got to see a honu (sea turtle).

シルバーウィークに夫婦でまたハワイに行ってきました。今回は念願のハナウマ湾のシュノーケリングを入れたかったのでこのツアーを予約しました。正直に言いまして、最初は評価も体験談も多い、「公認ベテランガイドといくハナウマ湾」のツアーを申し込みましたがリクエストNGでしたので、このツアーにしました。当時は、あいにく朝から雨。シュノーケリングの時も大雨で波もあり、砂が舞い上がっており、きれいに魚は見えませんでした。しかも約1時間のシュノーケリングは寒く、陸に上がった後は寒さで震えていました。  
でも自然には逆らえないので、今度は晴れた時に再チャレンジできたらと思います。
ホノルルでは何か所かでシュノーケリングしましたが、やはり魚を見るならば、グァム、サイパンや東南アジアのセブ島やプーケットなどには かないませんね。
でもガイドさんが一生懸命説明してアシストしてくださり、ツアーとしてはとてもよかったと思います。
また期待していなかったホヌと会えたのがよかったポイントです。

The day of the Heaven's Sea tour unfortunately had cloudy skies and rain, which made it cold. It was disappointing that the water's blue color was dulled due to the clouds. However, I was able to see sea turtles and enjoyed snorkeling in the coral reef, so I guess it was still a good experience overall.

I want to participate next time! 次回も参加したいです!

Reviewed by: アレオニ

I participated in the BBQ lunch (which is a hamburger lunch) ^^ At the sandbar, the water was up to my waist. If you want to experience shallower water, it seems that going early with breakfast included is a good option. That said, it probably depends on the weather and the season... On this day, I wasn't feeling well, so I waited on the boat, but my family seemed to be having a great time ^^ Even though I was waiting on the boat, the scenery was lovely, and the staff were cheerful and friendly. I was able to spend a fun time talking with little kids and people from abroad. The hamburger for lunch was made with meat cooked in a Dutch oven, and it was juicy and delicious ^^ I also got to see a lot of sea turtles, which were adorable. On the way back, you can change clothes on the boat, so I think it would be convenient to have a cape that you can easily put on or take off. You can also change at the restroom after getting off the boat, but since there was a line for women, it might be easier to change early. I plan to participate again next time and try getting down to the sandbar or snorkeling with the sea turtles!

BBQランチ(=ハンバーガーランチ)付きに参加しました^^ サンドバーでは腰ほどまで水がありました。もっと浅いのを体験したければ朝食付きの早い時間方法が良いみたいですね。といっても、天候や季節によると思いますが。。私はこの日に限って体調が悪かったのでボートで待機していましたが、家族は楽しそうにしていました^^ボートで待機といっても、景色も素敵だし、スタッフさん達も明るく気さくでしたし、ちっちゃいおこちゃまや外国の方と話したり楽しい時間を過ごせました。お昼のハンバーガーもダッチオーブンで焼いてくれたお肉で、ジューシーで美味しかったです^^ウミガメも沢山見れて可愛かったです。帰り、着替えはボートの上で出来るので、すっぽりか被れるケープのようなのがあると便利かと思います。ボート降りてトイレでも着替えられますが、女性は並んでいたので早めに着替えちゃった方が楽かもです。次回も参加して今度はサンドバーに降りたり、シュノーケルでウミガメと泳いだりしようと思います!

Amazing!! 最高!!

Reviewed by: はなこ

The pickup was on time, so there was no need to worry. We encountered a pod of dolphins and were able to swim with them for a long time. I think the sea was relatively calm, but there were many people who got seasick. Even if you think you'll be fine, motion sickness medication might be essential. Also, your belongings will definitely get wet. Therefore, your change of clothes and towels will also get wet. I recommend either using a waterproof bag or carrying a large vinyl bag that can hold your bag.

迎えは時間通りで、不安になることはありませんでした。
イルカの群れに遭い、ずっといっしょに泳ぐことができました。
比較的、穏やかな海だったと思うのですが、酔っている方がたくさんいました。
大丈夫だと思っても酔い止め薬は必須かもしれません。
それから、荷物は必ず濡れます。
ですから、着替えやバスタオルも濡れます。
防水加工がしてあるバッグにまとめるか、バッグを入れることのできる大きめのビニル袋の携帯をオススメします。

Maui to Lanai Snorkel Cruise with Breakfast & Lunch from Lahaina

Saw some dolphins, turtles, and fish, but not what we paid for

Reviewed by: honeymooners

My husband and I were looking forward to seeing lots of fish/dolphins and enjoying a barbecue lunch and cocktails. Our boarding passes didn't match the boat that we boarded, but we didn't think much of it. The boat started heading toward Lana'i, and the continental breakfast started (Costco muffins cut in half, fresh fruit, granola bars, and coffee or warm pineapple juice). Breakfast was good, but it quickly became EXTREMELY choppy. There was quite a south swell, so my husband and I didn't complain. When we arrived at Lana'i, we had to skip a snorkeling site due to rough water but were able to snorkel in a marine preserve bay. We saw a lot of fish and thought visibility was okay, but more experienced passengers thought that the visibility was awful.

We headed off to a Maui snorkeling site after an hour. On the way, we were treated to our "barbecue" lunch: cold-cut sandwiches, chips, and soda or water. We had all been looking forward to barbecue and almost every adult had been talking about the cocktails they were going to order. Compared to what we paid for, lunch was a real disappointment. But it was about to get worse; the water became even rougher, and passengers started vomiting everywhere - out the cabin windows and all over the floor right where everyone was eating. We did end up seeing dolphins, though.

The second snorkel site had pretty bad visibility, but we did see a few turtles! After an hour, we got back on the boat and headed back to the harbor.

We talked to a couple of locals (one an activity concierge) on the boat, and they said this trip is usually one of the best ones out there. But frankly, if you pay for barbecue and cocktails, you should be getting that (or something comparable with an explanation/apology). This did not happen on our trip. The locals said that the original boat would not have been as rough, as it was much bigger, too. We don't usually complain, but we wish we had gotten a bit of a refund. At least the crew was nice.

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>

Snorkeling at Kealakekua Bay ケアラケクア湾でシュノーケル 

Reviewed by: fusa

We participated as a couple. Neither of us is good at English, but we thought we could manage with snorkeling and enjoying the scenery, so we decided to join. When we arrived at the office for check-in on the day of the tour, they provided us with a Japanese explanation sheet detailing the day's precautions and points of interest, which was very helpful. Additionally, there was a Japanese family of three with us, which made us feel a bit more at ease. The tour included nine people in total (five Japanese and four Americans), along with two American women, the captain, and a crew member.

We were excited about the thrilling rafting and the chance to encounter dolphins. The captain sped us out to sea, which was thrilling and fun, but unfortunately, we didn't see a single dolphin that day, which was very disappointing.

The snorkeling at Kealakekua Bay was fantastic; the water was clear, and we could see beautiful corals and various fish. For those who are not confident swimmers, they provide floatation devices, which I think is reassuring.

It was great to see the Captain Cook monument, which can only be accessed by trekking from land, while snorkeling. When we got a bit tired of snorkeling at Kealakekua Bay, they provided light snacks, sandwiches, and drinks, followed by a fruit service with pineapple and oranges, allowing us to refuel before snorkeling again. I think we stayed anchored for quite a long time.

After that, we got close to the cave cliffs (where they also offered a bit of snorkeling service) and visited a spot that resembles the sleeping form of the fire goddess Pele. The five-hour tour flew by in no time.

On the return boat ride, they also provided snacks and drinks, which was nice. One thing to note is that the boat does not have a restroom, and there is no roof, so you will be directly exposed to the sun. The sunlight can be intense, so be careful of sunburn (especially on your ears, lips, and the backs of your thighs) and make sure to apply sunscreen frequently, as you can get burned in just a few hours.

夫婦二人で参加です。
二人共英語はだめですが、シュノーケルと景色を見るなら大丈夫と思い参加しました。でも当日受付をする事務所に行くと、その日の注意事項や行くポイントについて書かれた日本語の説明書をくれたので凄く助かりました、それにこの日は、親子三人の日本の方もご一緒だったのでちょっと安心しました、アメリカの女性二名とキャプテンとサブの方含め9人(日本人5人・アメリカ人4人)でのツアーでした。
スリル満点のラフティングとイルカ遭遇に期待しました、キャプテンが沖の方にスピードをかけて走ってくれたのは、スリルあり面白かった、でも、この日は運悪く一匹のイルカにも会うことが出来ず凄く残念でした。
ケアラケクア湾でのシュノーケルは、水も綺麗でサンゴや色々な魚も見ることが出来凄く良かったです。泳ぎに自信のない方には、浮き棒を貸してくれますので安心だと思います。
陸からならトレッキングでしか行けないキャプテン・クックの記念碑をシュノーケルをしながら見ることが出来良かったです。
ケアラケリア湾でのシュノーケルに飽きた頃に軽食のサンドイッチとドリンクの提供もあり、その後、パイナップルとオレンジのフルーツサービスもありちょっと腹ごしらえをして又シュノーケルも出来、結構長い時間停泊してくれていたと思います。
その後、洞窟の岸壁に近寄ったり(ここでもちょっとだけシュノーケルのサービスをしてくれた)火の神ペレの寝姿に見える場所に寄ってくれたり5時間のツアーは、あっと言う間に過ぎました。
帰りのボートでも、スナック菓子やドリンクのサービスもあり良かったです。
注意するのは、ボートはトイレがないのとボートには屋根がないので直に日差しが当たります、日差しがきついので日焼けには(耳や唇・太ももの裏等)注意してこまめに日焼け止めを塗らないと数時間でしっかり焼けます。

Reviewed by: ダイエットがんば!

Our first family trip to Hawaii. I had always wanted to visit Angel's Beach. I was surprised by the number of Japanese people at the meeting point. It was a good decision to take motion sickness medication before getting on the boat to avoid feeling seasick. When we arrived at Angel's Beach, the water was about knee-deep, but it was crystal clear and very beautiful. The hamburgers afterward were delicious, and my child enjoyed snorkeling for the first time in their life.

初めての家族でのハワイ旅行。天使の海は絶対行きたいと思っていた場所でした。集合場所について日本人の多さにまずびっくり。ボートに乗って揺られる中酔わないように酔い止めを飲んでおいたのは正解でした。天使の海につくと膝の高さくらいの水でしたが、透き通っていてとてもきれいでした。そのあとのハンバーガーもおいしく、子供は人生初のシュノーケリングを楽しんでいました。

A must do when visiting Maui. Try to avoid taking kids the will get seasick. You will become great at snorkeling after the cruise. The crew was awesome, the captain told stories and gave us a bit of history is the islands. The breakfast given was just right, it was light for the long ride to find a good spot to snorkel (about one hour and fifteen minutes), I didn't get to try much of the lunch because I got a little seasick but what I tried was good. We were taken to rough waters to snorkel first then we were taken to a very calm beach with an old dock were we spotted a big turtle that when below most of us snorkeling. To be able to enjoy to the fullest you must drink you any type of anti-seasick drugs.

The number of fish I've never seen before! 見たことないお魚の数!

Reviewed by: eriri

I am a complete beginner at snorkeling, but I was really immersed in it. I was amazed by the clarity of the water and the number of fish. There were a few moments of anxiety, but it was such a wonderful experience that it made up for everything.

I participated with my child. My child seemed a bit anxious and was looking around, wondering if there were any Japanese people, but there were quite a few Chinese people, and we were the only two Japanese. Everything was in English, so I couldn't understand anything and just followed the movements of those around me. Well, once you're in the water, there are no problems at all (*^-^*).

One little issue was that I made the reservation on my smartphone while traveling, but I had to bring a printed reservation instead of just showing the smartphone screen. I managed to get it printed at the hotel front desk, thanks to a kind front desk staff member who understood a little Japanese.

Also, regarding the snorkeling at Kealakekua Bay, please make sure not to confuse the meeting point, which is at Keauhou Bay.

シュノーケルは超初心者ですが、すごい夢中になってシュノーケルしていました。水の透明度、魚の数にびっくりでした。少し不安な所がありましたが、それを全てチャラにするくらい素敵な経験をさせてもらいました。
子供と二人で参加しました。子供は心細かったみたいで「日本人いないかなぁ」とキヨロキヨロ周りを捜していましたが、中国の人は結構おられましたが、日本人は私たち二人だけでした。全て英語だったので、何も理解できませんでしたので、周りの人の動きを見ながら行動してました。まぁ海に入ればなんの問題もありませんが(*^-^*)
ちよっと困ったのは、旅行に出てからスマホで予約したのですが、スマホ画面ではなく、予約票を印刷して持って行かなければなりませんでした。ホテルのフロントでなんとかプリントして貰う事ができましたが、少し日本語が通じる親切なフロントマンのおかげです。
あと、ケアラケクア湾シュノーケルですが、集合はケアウホウ湾なので、つい間違わないようにして下さい。

First helicopter 初ヘリ

Reviewed by: 匿名さん

Riding a helicopter for the first time and being able to see the faint red lava was a rare and interesting experience. The price was a bit high, but I'm glad I decided to participate.

I had heard that some people get motion sickness on helicopters, but my wife, who is prone to motion sickness, was fine, so that might not be something to worry about.

The footage from the ride can be purchased about 20 minutes after returning, so I bought it as a keepsake (though I haven't watched it yet).

However, I found it difficult to see outside from the middle seat in the back, so I wish they would differentiate the prices based on seating.

初めてヘリに乗ったっていうのと、うっすらながら赤い溶岩も見れたっていうのは、貴重で面白い経験だった。
ちょっと値段は高めだけど、思い切って参加してよかったです。

ヘリに酔うって話も聞いていたけど、乗り物酔いしやすい嫁さんでも大丈夫だったので、そのあたりは心配しなくてもいいのかもしれない。

乗った時の映像が、帰還して20分くらいで購入できるので、記念に買ったみた(まだ見てないけど)。

ただ、後ろの真ん中席だと外が見づらいので、座席で値段を分けてほしいと思いました。

Maui to Lanai Snorkel Cruise with Breakfast & Lunch from Lahaina

bad weather but still good

Reviewed by: Molly

My sister and I joined this activity because we thought that snorkeling is the must do thing in Hawaii. On the boat, you didn’t feel crowded and every group had their own table. However, the day was bad weather. The captain took us to three different places for snorkeling. There were only few fish and no any dolphins. Moreover, some people were stung by jellyfish. Fortunately, the captain had prepared vinegar on the boat. The crews were very nice. Because my sister is not good at swimming, one of the crew accompanied her during snorkeling. We really appreciated it when he offered to help. And the food provided on the boat is simple but good. I loved fruits. Besides breakfast and lunch, they also provided drinks and snacks. In spite of the bad weather, seeing and enjoying Lanai on the boat were wonderful. There was also a Hawaiian woman telling Hawaiian story during the tour. This tour is worth it and is suitable for everyone.

It was a very pleasant place. I recommend it.

However, it seems that the sand area only appears during limited times, such as early morning. When I went without knowing this, I thought, "Huh, this looks a bit different from the guidebook and photos...?!"

Also, it seems that the hotel pickup time can be a bit delayed, so you don't need to worry if they don't arrive right away; just be there, and you'll be fine!

The female guide took a lot of wonderful photos, so I recommend handing over your camera for her to take pictures!

Next time, I want to go again during the time when the sand area is available.

About 18 years ago, I did a photoshoot at a sandbar for work. At that time, the sandbar completely emerged as land, and I remember shooting there for about 2 to 3 hours. This time, I applied for my daughter (a high school freshman) to have that wonderful experience as well. However, the sandbar did not emerge above the water. According to the female guide, due to rising sea levels and the tides at that time, it seems that land formation has become rare recently. However, my daughter was satisfied as she discovered a sea turtle and enjoyed her first snorkeling experience. The woman who guided us and instructed us was very pleasant, and all the staff were cheerful people. I wouldn't recommend it for very young children, but I think it would be a good experience for middle school-aged kids.

18年ほど前に仕事でサンドバーで撮影をしました。そのときは、完全に砂浜が陸地になり、2時間~3時間はその陸地で撮影をした記憶があります。今回、娘(高1)にもその素晴らしい体験をさせようと思い申し込みました。しかし、サンドバーが、水上に出てくることはありませんでした。ガイドの女性によると、やはり地球の海面上昇や、そのときの潮の満干でほとんど最近は、陸地ができることはないそうです。しかし娘は、ウミガメを発見したり、初めてのシュノーケリングを楽しんだようで、満足しておりました。旅の案内やインストラクターをしてくれた女性の方は、大変感じがよく、スタッフもみんな愉快な人たちでした。あまり小さな子供たちにはお勧めしませんが、中学ぐらいの子供たちには良い経験になるかと思います。

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>

First experience 初体験

Reviewed by: マハロ

We participated as a family of four (with a 2nd-year middle schooler and a 5th grader). The hotel pick-up was smooth, and we felt reassured that the American husband spoke Japanese without any issues. The two women were snorkeling for the first time, but they were kindly taught and had no problems enjoying it at all! The masks and snorkels were also the latest models and very clean. It was a bit disappointing that we didn't get to see any turtles and that the time at Hanauma Bay felt a bit rushed.

家族4人で参加しました。(中学2年・小学5年)
ホテルからの送迎もスムーズで、アメリカ人のご主人も日本語問題なく安心できました。
女性2人は初シュノーケリングでしたが、親切に教えてもらいまったく問題なく楽しめました!
マスクやシュノーケルも最新できれいでした。
亀に会えなかったのと、少し時間が短くハナウマ湾でばたばた感があったのが残念でした。

Thank you for participating in the tour. I'm sorry we couldn't show you the cute turtles at Hanauma Bay. I will do my best to make sure we can show you the Honu next time, so please come again!

Also, we offer introductory diving experiences at Hanauma Bay. Children aged 12 and older can participate, so if you're interested, I recommend diving with your kids as well!

I look forward to seeing you again. Thank you very much. Mahalo!

この度はツアーにご参加いただき、ありがとうございます。ハナウマベイのかわいいカメをお見せ出来ず、ごめんなさいね。
是非次回こそはHonuをお見せ出来るようがんばりますので、また来てくださいね!
それと私達はハナウマベイでの体験ダイビングもやっています。12歳より参加できますので、もしよかったらお子様と一緒にダイビングもお勧めです!
またお会いできるのを楽しみにしています。ありがとうございました。Mahalo!

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>

Unfortunately, the weather... あいにくの天気。。

Reviewed by: にぃな

The sandbar I was most looking forward to in Hawaii! I made a reservation for the day with the shallowest water during my 5-night, 7-day stay, but unfortunately, it rained. A few days ago, an acquaintance went and said it was really beautiful, so I was truly disappointed.

Since it was Saturday, there was a high school boy who spoke Japanese working part-time. The staff were neither particularly good nor bad, but the hot tea and sandwiches we had in the cold were delicious.

今回のハワイで1番楽しみにしてたサンドバー!5泊7日の中で1番水深が浅い日を選んで予約しましたが、残念ながらの雨でした。数日前に知人が行ったのですが、すごいキレイとのことだったので本当に残念。
土曜日だったので、高校生の日本語が話せるバイトの男の子がいました。スタッフは特別いいわけでも悪いわけでもありませんでしたが、寒い中で食べるホットティーとサンドウィッチはおいしかったです。

モロキニ島シュノーケリングクルーズ <朝・昼食付/現地集合>

It's expensive. 高いです。

Reviewed by: いもまろん

I didn't expect there to be so few types of fish. I was hoping for many more varieties, so I was a bit disappointed. I was able to see a sea turtle, but it seems that some other guests weren't able to see it. There were few Japanese people. Given the content and the amount of fish, I won't be returning.

魚の種類があんなに少ないとは思いませんでした。

もっとたくさんの種類がいると勝手に期待していたので
拍子抜け。
ウミガメを見ることができましたが他のお客さんは見れなかった人も居る様子。日本人は少ないです。あの内容であの程度の魚の量ならリピートはありません。

It was disappointing that the weather was cloudy, but there were Japanese staff members, and I was able to have fun. I want to try again and see a sunny sandbar!

ハワイ島 ケアラケクア湾シュノーケリングツアー 滑り台や飛び込み台完備の船で行く!<午前・午後/英語ガイド/食事付>by フェアウィンド号

Excellent transparency! 透明度抜群!

Reviewed by: らがお

The clarity of the ocean was outstanding, and there were plenty of fish, which made it very enjoyable. Since it was a plan without transportation, I thought the directions to the parking lot and from the parking lot to the boat were a bit unclear, but it was manageable.

The explanations were in English, but they provided written instructions in Japanese regarding snorkeling precautions, so that was also manageable. The meeting point before the boat departs only has one restroom, so there might be a bit of a wait, but there is a restroom on the boat as well, so it's fine.

Once on the boat, you need to secure your preferred seating early if you want to enjoy your meal comfortably, so be cautious about that. In the morning, the muffins were delicious, and the lunch burgers were tasty too.

The explanation regarding the vests and floaties for snorkeling was, "Feel free to use what you like according to your level." In a previous tour I took in Oahu, wearing a life vest was mandatory, which made swimming difficult, so I appreciated this flexibility. I think if you're accustomed to snorkeling, a vest isn't necessary. If you wear fins, your body will float.

There was about an hour of free time upon arrival. Even with lunch in between, we had plenty of time to enjoy snorkeling, which was great. Before heading back, I was able to take a freshwater shower at the right timing, but if you miss that opportunity, there are no shower facilities nearby, so you have to go back to the hotel as is.

Still, I can truly recommend this for those who want to swim in a highly transparent ocean.

海の透明度が抜群で、魚も沢山いて、とても楽しめました。
送迎無しのプランでしたので、駐車場の場所と、駐車場から船までの場所の案内が、少しわかりづらかったかなとも思いましたが、まあ、何とかなります。
説明は英語のみですが、シュノーケリングの注意事項等は、日本語で書いた説明文を見せてくれますので、これも、何とかなります。
船が出るまでの待ち合わせ場所になっている所には、トイレが1つあるだけですので、ちょっと並んだりもしますが、船にもトイレはありますから、大丈夫。
船に乗ったら、自分たちの座りたい席は、早めにキープしないと、ゆっくり座って食事が出来なくなりますので、注意が必要です。
朝は、マフィンが美味しかった。ランチのハンバーガーも美味しかったです。
シュノーケリングの時のベストや浮き輪は、「自分のレベルに合わせて、好きな物を使って下さいね」という程度の説明。以前、オアフで利用したツアーは、ライフベスト必ず着用でしたので、泳ぎにくくて辛かったので、これは私達にはありがたいなと思いました。
シュノーケリングに慣れている人ならば、ベストは必要無いと思いました。フィンを付けていれば、身体は浮くので。
到着して1時間程度のフリータイム。ランチをはさんでもう1時間程度、たっぷりシュノーケリングが楽しめて、良かったです。
帰る前の船に上がるタイミングで真水のシャワーを浴びる事が出来ましたが、そのタイミングを逃すと、戻っても近くにシャワーの設備等がありませんので、そのままホテルまで戻るしかありません。
それでも、透明度の高い海で泳ぎたい方には、本当におすすめできます。

Seats at the front of the boat. 船の前の方の席

Reviewed by: kana

If you sit in the front, there are snorkeling sets and life jackets available, so many people come back to return wet items after use, and even if you put your belongings in the chair, seawater will splash and get them wet. Be sure to check the tide levels. When I was there, the shallow areas were about ankle-deep, and the sandy beach was not visible above ground. When we returned to the port, the afternoon group had arrived, but I think it had become normally deep by the time we left.

前方に座る場合は、シュノーケルセットやライフジャケットがあるので、使用後濡れたものを返却しにくる人多数で、椅子の中に荷物を入れていても、海水が飛んでくるので濡れます。潮の引き具合は必ず調査して下さい。私の時は浅い所がくるぶしくらい、砂浜は地上には現れていませんでした。港へ帰ると午後便の方々が来ていまさしたが、行く頃には普通に深くなっていたと思います。

サンドバー キャプテンブルース 天国の海®︎シュノーケリングクルーズ SUPや浮き輪などレンタルアイテムも!<午前・午後/日本語クルー>

It was fun! Thank you! 楽しかったです!ありがとうございました!

Reviewed by: TMM

I visited for a wedding and honeymoon trip.
**Exploring the Sandbar**
I checked the tide levels in Kaneohe Bay in advance and booked the "morning plan" for the second day of our itinerary. Since we participated at low tide, I was able to fully enjoy the strange sensation of standing in the middle of the ocean! It seems that only Captain Bruce can dock at the shallowest point. Just standing there and taking in the beautiful scenery around me was refreshing and enjoyable.
**Snorkeling Point**
It felt like everyone who wanted to snorkel lined up and swam together. We wanted to relax freely, so we borrowed a float and played instead of participating. It was quite cold after getting out of the water, so the warm soup was very appreciated.
**Light Snacks**
As soon as we got on the boat, we were served bread and drinks, and after arriving at the snorkeling point, light snacks were provided buffet-style. It was more substantial than I had imagined, so I wished I had gone easy on breakfast.

結婚式&ハネムーン旅行で訪れました。
【サンドバー散策】
事前にカネオヘ湾の潮位を調べてから、旅程2日目に『午前プラン』を予約しました。干潮時に参加できたので、海の真ん中に立っている不思議な感覚を存分に味わえました!キャプテン・ブルースさんしか停泊できない一番浅いポイントらしいです。その場に立って、周りの美しい景色を眺めているだけで清々しく、楽しかったです。
【シュノーケルポイント】
希望者全員で並んで泳いで行くかんじでした。私たちは自由にのんびりしたかったので、参加せず浮き輪を借りて遊んでいました。海から上がった後は結構寒かったので、温かいスープはとてもありがたかったです。
【軽食】
船に乗ってすぐパンと飲み物が、シュノーケルポイントに着いてからバイキング形式で軽食が出ました。想像以上に充実していたので、朝食を控えめにしておけばよかったなと思いました。
