ハワイ島 ケアラケクア湾　シュノーリングツアー ＜軽食付き／英語ガイド＞

The coral reefs in Keauhou were wonderful. ケアウホウのサンゴ礁は素晴らしかったです

Reviewed by: IDDI

We sped across the ocean for about 30 minutes in a rubber boat that holds around 14 people. I could see the speedometer, and it seemed we were going about 40 mph, which felt similar to driving on the road.

We were able to snorkel at Keauhou and Kealakekua. Both locations had beautiful coral reefs and high water clarity. At Keauhou, we were able to see sea turtles swimming leisurely, making it a very satisfying tour.

However, it seemed that the reception and guides had no knowledge of Japanese, and since we are not very proficient in English, we could hardly understand the guide's explanations. That said, they did communicate the essential information (like safety tips for snorkeling) using simple words that we could understand, which was reassuring.

14人乗りぐらいのゴムボートで30分ぐらい、海の上を疾走します。スピードメーターが見えましたが、40mphぐらい出ていたため、車で道路を走っているのと同じぐらいのスピードが出ていたようです。
シュノーケリングはケアウホウとケアラケクアでさせてもらえました。どちらもサンゴ礁が広がり、水の透明度も高く素晴らしかったです。ケアウホウではウミガメがゆったりと泳ぐ姿を見ることができ、とても満足のいくツアーでした。

ただし、受付やガイドの方は日本語が全くダメなようで、英語が得意でない私たちはガイドの説明がほとんど理解できませんでした。とはいえ、本当に伝えないといけないこと（シュノーケリング時の注意事項など）はちゃんとこちらが分かるように簡単な単語で言ってくれるので、その点は安心できました。

キラウエア火山 ヘリコプター遊覧　水～土曜日10:30限定で日本語パイロットのリクエスト可能＜フライト100分／英語パイロット／ワイコロアヘリポート＞

Big Island itself!! ビッグアイランド　そのもの！！　

Reviewed by: moo

It's no surprise that the Big Island is called Hawaii Island! Seeing Kilauea Volcano and Waipi'o Valley from the sky, I was overwhelmed by the greatness of nature and the majesty of the land. While the roads weave through the volcanic terrain and renting a car for sightseeing is a good option, I highly recommend taking an aerial tour, even though it may be a bit costly.

Kilauea Volcano, where you can witness the Earth's breath (smoke) up close, along with the green valleys and various waterfalls created by nature, is truly breathtaking.

You too will surely develop a sense of awe for nature and find yourself immersed in the beauty of Hawaii Island.

Unfortunately, I couldn't understand much of the guide's commentary due to the foreign pilot, but just watching the scenery from above made the 40 minutes fly by, and I had a wonderful time.

ハワイ島が、ビッグアイランドと云われるのは当たり前です！！
空からのキラウエア火山とワイピオ渓谷を見て、自然の偉大さ、
大地の雄大さに圧倒されて、大変感激しました。
縦横に道路が火山大地の間を縫ってつなっがていて、レンタカー

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＞

What to bring on the tour... a sense of adventure! Snorkeling is also amazing. ツアーに持参するもの・・冒険心！　シュノーケリングも最高

Reviewed by: dancingkoala

When selecting a tour, please first check the tide levels. You can find the tide chart for Honolulu, Oahu (Hawaii) at this site: http://tides.mobilegeographics.com/locations/2602.html. Choose a time when the tide is low (either morning or afternoon). On the day of participation, the tide was 0.5ft according to this site, and the actual sea level was about 30cm.

Initially, I wanted to join a tour from a different company, but it was already fully booked. However, in the end, it turned out to be the right choice for me.

Comparing the two tours, the one I participated in had a slightly later meeting time, allowing for a more relaxed morning (perhaps less time spent picking up from hotels?), and it included about an hour of snorkeling, which was set for approximately 30 minutes longer. Overall, the time allocation was quite leisurely. If you have time and are interested in snorkeling, I recommend this one.

The sandbar was indeed impressive, but perhaps due to having seen many beautiful photos in advance and the overcast weather with strong winds, it was a feeling I had anticipated. On the other hand, the snorkeling experience exceeded my expectations. I was initially hesitant and observed from the boat, but seeing how much fun the other participants were having, I decided to take the plunge and enter the water.

I had participated in hotel-sponsored snorkeling in Okinawa a couple of times, but compared to that, the scale was different. The corals and tropical fish were dynamic! Since we wore life jackets, I didn't feel much fear. I encourage those who are not confident in swimming to give it a try. A wonderful world awaits. Initially, I thought the snorkeling time would feel long, but it passed in no time. So, this tour was indeed the right choice for me.

The voucher included a note about necessary items to bring, such as a camera, towel, and a sense of adventure. It was a perfectly accurate comment. Thank you, VELTRA.

Finally, at the end of the tour, remember to tip before disembarking. It's an American-style system, so don't forget to provide an appropriate tip.

ツアーを選択する時は先ず、潮位を確認してください。このサイトですHonolulu, Oahu (Hawaii) Tide Chart　http://tides.mobilegeographics.com/locations/2602.html）。
潮位が低い時間帯（午前or午後）を選んでください。参加当日のこのサイトによる潮位は0.5ftで、実際の海面は30cm程度でした。
当初は、異なる会社の方のツアーを希望しましたが既に予約終了。然しながら、結果的には当方の場合、正解でした。
２つのツアーを比較すると、参加したツアーは集合時間が少し遅く朝がゆっくり（ホテルを廻る時間が短い？）、シュノーケリングの時間が約１時間あり、３０分程度長めに設定されています。総じて、ゆったりとした時間配分です。時間があり、シュノーケリングに興味がある方にはこちらがお薦め。
サンドバーは、事前に沢山の綺麗な写真を見ていたせいか、天気が曇りがちで風が強かったせいか、確かに感動的でしたが、想定内の感動でした。
一方、シュノーケリングは想像以上の感動でした。泳ぎに自信がなく、当初は、ボートで見学していましたが、参加者が余りに楽しそうなので思い切って海に入ってみました。
沖縄で２回ほどホテル主催のシュノーケリングに参加しましたが、それと比べるとスケール感が違いました。珊瑚も熱帯魚もダイナミック！！
ライフジャケット着用なので、怖さはあまり感じません。泳ぎに自信がない方も是非チャレンジしてください。素晴らしい世界が広がっています。当初、シュノーケリングの時間が長いと思っていましたが、あっという間に。ということで、こちらのツアーの方が当方には正解でした。
バウチャーの案内文に、参加時に必要な持参品として、カメラ、タオル、冒険心・・とありました。正に、的を射たコメントでした。VELTRAさんに感謝です。
最後に、ツアーの最後にチップを入れて下船します。アメリカ式システムなので相応のチップを忘れずに。

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＞

Hanauma Bay Veteran Guide Snorkeling Tour ハナウマ湾　ベテランガイド付きシュノーケリングツアー　

Reviewed by: くりこ

In late December, I participated in a snorkeling tour at Hanauma Bay. It was my first time snorkeling, and since my 7-year-old son was with me, I felt like I might have been a bit of a hassle for the instructor, but thanks to them, we were able to enjoy snorkeling. That day, I was suffering from severe jet lag and was incredibly sleepy, so in the end, I didn't join the tour and played in the sand with my child on the beach. I think it's better to go after you've adjusted to the time difference, as it requires quite a bit of physical energy. On the way back on the trolley, I spoke with the person sitting next to me, and they mentioned that around December, if the weather is good, it's not too hot, making it perfect for snorkeling. However, the instructor said that during that time, the weather can be unpredictable, and just last week, they were shivering while getting into the water. We were fortunate to have good weather.

12月下旬、ハナウマ湾シュノーケルツアーに参加しました。シュノーケルも初めてで、7歳の息子も一緒だったため、インストラクターの方には迷惑をお掛けしたかと思いますが、おかげでシュノーケルを楽しむことができました。その日は、時差ボケがひどく、眠くてしょうがなかったため、最後はツアーには行かず、浜で子供と砂遊びをしていました。かなり体力を使うので、到着して時差にも慣れた頃に行ったほうがいいと思います。帰りのトローリーで、となりに座った方と話しましたが、12月ごろは天気が良ければ、暑すぎないのでシュノーケル日和だとのことでした。ただ、その時期は天候に恵まれないこともあって、先週は震えながら水に入っていましたよとインストラクターの方はおしゃってました。天候に恵まれて、良かったです。

Maui to Lanai Snorkel Cruise with Breakfast & Lunch from Lahaina

Great experience

Reviewed by: Janelle

Overall my husband and I had a great experience! My husband is a avid diver, but this was my first time snorkeling in the ocean.

The crew was welcoming, informative, and entertaining! Everything was explained very well. Safety was a high priority. There were devises available for all ages and swim levels to ensure everyone had a great time. Some of us forgot to premeditate to prevent motion sickness :( the crew was exceptionally helpful with helping those of us feel better!

On our way to our first snorkel destination we came across a large group of Dolphins! They were all around the boat. Super beautiful!

Both of the snorkeling destinations were gorgeous! The water was super clear, with 150ft or more visibility! There were multiple types of fish in the area, even sea turtles.

I would recommend this activity to anyone wanting to have a great snorkeling experience!

Worth it!

Reviewed by: Brodri44

This trip is totally worth it! First of all they pick you up exactly at your assigned time and after the trip they are right there to pick you up! So everything is done in a timely manner. The driver was extremely friendly and helpful. After they picked us up from our hotel, they drove us to where the boat is. Where the staff was just wonderful. On the way to Lahaina they offered us some good breakfast and played some music. Unfortunately, on our way to the first snorkel spot the weather got really bad. Therefore we had to go to a completely different spot where the waters were calmer and the weather was nice and sunny. Other than that the whole experience was amazing. The first snorkel spot that they took us to was beautiful. Filled with reef and all kinds of fish. Then, while on the way to the next snorkel spot they cooked us some dinner. On the second snorkel spot we got to see turtles and sharks! It was a lot of fun. On the way back they give you a complementary beer or cocktail and dessert. They also provided us with snacks and all kinds of drinks. I would recommended this excursion to anybody. Had a blast!!

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＞

It was a thrilling and fun tour beyond my expectations. 予想以上にスリル満点で楽しいツアーでした

Reviewed by: kazuyo

I participated on June 15th. The weather was a mix of cloudy and sunny, which was just perfect for heading out to sea.

From the meeting point at the marina, we boarded a 16-person inflatable boat (although once the engine started, it felt more like a large motorboat zooming along). The captain and a female assistant explained the safety instructions (all in English). Japanese participants were given a written guide in Japanese beforehand, but once you're out at sea, you won't have the luxury of reading it, so I recommend checking in a bit early to read it over.

The captain explained things with gestures, saying things like "put your feet here" and "hold on to this," so you don't need to worry too much if your English isn't great. The crew was very friendly.

As we departed the marina and picked up speed, the boat bounced over the waves, sending up sprays of white water—truly exhilarating! It felt just like being on a theme park ride.

Along the way, we stopped near a hotel where mantas could be seen, and got close to the lava cliffs, where they explained how these cave-like holes formed along the coast. I've participated in several snorkeling tours like this before, but this time on the ZoaTic, the small, agile boat allowed us to get close to the cliffs and see the stunning scenery up close, which was fantastic.

I had thought we would enter the caves, so I was a bit disappointed that we only viewed them from the outside. I wish we could have gone a little further inside.

After that, we went to Kealakekua Bay, where we anchored the boat for some free snorkeling time. I was hoping the dolphins would swim by, but unfortunately, they didn't come close.

Underwater, there were colorful fish and turtles swimming around, making it very mystical and beautiful. Hawaii Island has many power spots, and the ocean is truly healing as well.

Since it was a small group, I felt reassured that the crew was keeping an eye on us, and they provided all the necessary equipment, so you can go with just yourself. In fact, since the boat is small, it might be better not to bring large bags (it's best to leave unnecessary items in the car).

I brought a quick-dry towel and an underwater camera. When entering the water, I wore a long-sleeve rash guard and gloves. Even after getting out, while enjoying sandwiches, fruit, and water, my rash guard dried off.

Even with a hat and all that protection, being out on the sea for nearly five hours can lead to quite a sunburn.

As we were getting ready to head back, some cute dolphins appeared and jumped around. Although I couldn't swim with them, I had a wonderful time.

The return boat ride was thrilling and fast. I would love to participate again if I go back to Hawaii Island. Next time, I definitely want to swim with the dolphins!

６月１５日に参加しました。天気は曇ったり晴れたりと、海に出るにはちょうどいい感じでした。
集合場所のマリーナから１６人乗りのゴムボート(とはいえエンジンかかるとびゅんびゅん飛ばしていくのでモーターボートの大きいのって感じです）に乗り込み、キャプテンとアシスタントの女性が注意事項を説明(すべて英語）してくれます。日本人にはあらかじめ日本語に書いたものを渡してもらえますが、いったん海に出るとそんなものを読んでいる余裕は全くなくなるので、少し早めにチェックインして読んでおくことをお勧めします。
キャプテンが「ここに足を入れて」、とか「ここにつかまって」など身振り手振りつきで説明してくれるのでそんなに英語がわからなくても大丈夫。とてもフレンドリーなクルーでした。
マリーナを出発して、スピードを上げると、波にバンバンとボートが乗っかって白い水しぶきがバサ~っと上がり、迫力満点！！まるでテーマパークのアトラクションに乗っているようです。
途中、マンタの見えるホテルの近くに寄ったり、溶岩の岸壁の近くまでよってどんなふうにこんな穴の開いた洞窟みたいなものが海岸にできたのかなど説明をしてくれます。
今まで何回かこの手のシュノーケリングツアーに参加しましたが、今回のゾアティック号は小回りのきく小さな船だったので、岸壁近くに寄ったりと迫力ある景色をまじかに見られてとてもよかったです。
私は勝手に洞窟の中にも入るのかと思ったので、見るだけだったのがちょっと残念。もう少し中まで入れたらよかったのになと思いました。
その後ケアラケクア湾にいって船を停泊して、思い思いにシュノーケリングタイム。
ここに、イルカたちが泳いできてくれること期待して待っていたのですが、残念ながらイルカたちは近寄ってきませんでした。
海の中は、カラフルな色の魚たちや亀が泳いでいて、とても神秘的できれいでした。ハワイ島はパワースポットが多くありますが、海の中も本当に癒されます。
少人数制なのでクルーがちゃんと見ていてくれるという安心感もあり、必要な道具はすべてかしてもらえるので、身一つでいっても大丈夫。むしろ船が小さいので、大きな荷物を持っていかないほうがいいかもしれないです。(必要ないものは車の中においてきたほうがいいです）
私は海用の速乾性のバスタオル、水中カメラを持ちました。
海に入るときも長袖のラッシュガードと手袋もしました。そのまま上がってもサンドイッチやフルーツ、お水をいただいているうちに、ラッシュガードも乾いてきます。
帽子をかぶってこんなにガードしていても、５時間近く海の上だとかなり日焼けします。
かえる頃になって、かわいいイルカたちが姿を見せてジャンプしてくれました。
一緒に泳ぐことはできなかったけど、とても楽しい時間を過ごせました。
帰りのボートはすごいスピードでスリル満点でした。
またハワイ島に行ったら参加したいと思います。次回はぜひイルカと泳ぎたいので！！

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＞

Full of impact! 迫力満点！

Reviewed by: mihoko

I boarded the "Hawaii Island Ocean Rafting & Kealakekua Bay Snorkel" adventure on the Captain Zodiac. It was truly fun. Before boarding, I was worried, thinking, "What if I get seasick?" and "I'm not confident in my swimming, but can I really snorkel?" However, all those anxieties were blown away by the exhilarating fun.

After a brief explanation from the captain, we set off immediately. I thought it was unbelievable not to wear life jackets, which is unthinkable in Japan! But I realized that it was indeed safer to hold onto the handrails and ropes rather than awkwardly wearing a life jacket and relying on it.

As the boat started moving, it bounced vigorously, but the wind felt pleasant, making it feel like I was on a roller coaster. Along the way, we encountered dolphins and admired the lava cliffs as we headed to the snorkeling point. For those who are not confident swimmers, life jackets were provided, and for those who can swim a bit better, there were inflatable tubes and boogie boards available for rent. Once we put on our goggles and snorkels, we were ready to hit the sea.

Unfortunately, I couldn't swim with the dolphins, but I was able to see them from the boat. After getting back on board, we were treated to fruits, sandwiches, cookies, and potato chips, and the sweet fruits were incredibly delicious after swimming.

If I could suggest one improvement, it would be to receive a translated version of the captain's explanation before boarding. Since we left right away, I didn't have time to read it. If I had received it when I signed up, I would have read it thoroughly.

Things to bring:
1. Rash guard or windbreaker (especially after getting out of the water, it gets cold on the way back)
2. Sunglasses
3. Sunscreen
4. Waterproof case for your smartphone (the type that hangs around your neck is recommended)

Lastly, there was one mystery... The straps of the hats worn by passengers were quickly blown away, and everyone soon gave up on wearing hats, but the captain's hat (not a cap, but a hat type) seemed to stick to his head and was not blown away at all. It was very strange...

If I have the opportunity to go to Hawaii Island again, I would definitely like to participate in this tour.

「ハワイ島 オーシャンラフティング&ケアラケクア湾シュノーケル 溶岩の岸壁を行くスリル満点アドベンチャー！ by キャプテン・ゾディアック号」に乗船しました。
本当に楽しかったです。「乗船前は船酔いをしたらどうしよう？」 「泳ぎに自信がないけれど、シュノーケリングは出来るだろうか？」などと思っていましたが、そんな不安など吹き飛ばしてくれる勢いのある楽しさでした。
乗船後、キャプテンから説明があったあとすぐに出発です。救命胴衣もつけず、日本ではアリエナイ！！と思ったのですが、下手に救命胴衣などつけるより、自分の身は自分で守るとばかり、しっかり手すりやロープにつかまる方が確かに安全なのだと思いました。
船が走り出すと、激しくバウンドしますが、風が心地よく、まるでジェットコースターにでも乗っているような気分。途中イルカに遭遇したり、溶岩の岸壁を眺めたりしながらシュノーケルポイントへ。
こちらも、泳ぎに自身のない方は救命胴衣が用意され、もう少し泳げる人は、浮き輪代わりのウレタンのパイプ、ビート版などの貸し出しがあります。ゴーグルとシュノーケルをつけたらいざ海へ。
残念ながらイルカと一緒に泳ぐことは叶いませんでしたが、船の上からは見ることが出来ました。
船に上がるとフルーツやサンドイッチ、クッキーやポテトチップスなどが用意され、泳ぎ疲れた体に甘い果物が最高に美味しかったです。
唯一改善点をお願いするならば、キャプテンの解説を翻訳したものを乗船前に渡してもらうのですが、すぐ出発だったので読む暇がありませんでした。
申し込んだ時点でこれをもらっていたら熟読したのに。と思います。

持っていった方が良い物
１．ラッシュガード又はウィンドブレーカー（特に海から上がったあと、帰りは寒いです）
２．サングラス
３．日焼け止め
４．スマホの防水ケース（首から下げておくタイプがオススメです）

最後に一つだけ謎が･･･。乗船者は帽子の紐をしっかりと締めていたのがあっと言う間に吹き飛ばされ、全員すぐに帽子を被るのを諦めたのですが、キャプテンの帽子（それもキャップではなく、ハットタイプ）は頭に張り付いたかのようにまったく飛ばされませんでした。とっても不思議でした。...

Maui to Lanai Snorkel Cruise with Breakfast & Lunch from Lahaina

Snorkeling cruise to Lanai

Reviewed by: Callie Ayers

We loved our trip from Maui to Lanai on this snorkeling cruise. The boat was a great size for the trip between the two islands. It was very clean and nice. The crew were all very helpful and friendly. We felt very confident in their abilities. They were all very knowledgeable about the trip and animal life that we encountered. The food was great, we loved having breakfast provided since we had to get up and be at the harbor so early. We were kind of disappointed to not see any dolphins. We felt like we had been told we would circle back to a specific point where dolphins are usually seen and that didn't happen. We were just taken back to Maui as soon as the second snorkeling stop had been made. Maybe we misunderstood what would happen there. Overall it was a great trip and a super fun way to spend the day.

We couldn't go snorkeling yet, so we stayed behind, but they lent us floaties and allowed us to play leisurely after snorkeling. They even provided a bodyboard for kids that lets you see underwater, and my son had a great time playing with it! Meanwhile, I enjoyed my lunch while watching them.

I highly recommend this! I believe families with small children can enjoy it thoroughly!

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＞

It was beautiful! きれいでした！

Reviewed by: にゃっくす

The weather was clear, so the sea was beautifully blue! I couldn't clearly spot the sea turtles, but the guide was calling out directions to everyone.

I was also impressed by the schools of fish while snorkeling! However, it was quite cold when we got out of the water, so a towel change is a must!

晴れていたので海も青くきれいでした！
ウミガメも私ははっきり見つけられなかったですが
ガイドさんが何時の方向ー！とみなさんに声をかけ教えてくれていました。

シュノーケリングも魚の列が見えたりと感動しました！
ただやはり海から上がると寒かったので
タオル着替え必須です！

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＞

Participating with my mother and daughter. Concerns and various things. 母と娘、2人での参加。心配ごとやあれこれ

Reviewed by: MIKI

We are not used to traveling abroad, so we have a lot of worries. The main concerns were: 1) clothing, 2) belongings & luggage, 3) temperature, and 4) snorkeling. Additionally, I have some other thoughts.

1) Clothing
I wore a swimsuit with a rash guard on top and quick-drying pants that are 3/4 length. Long skirts were seen here and there. Even those in long pants were relaxed and free. There were various styles, including half shorts and hot pants, and some people wrapped towels around themselves. Most men wore knee-length swimsuits. On the way back, you can just lay down your towel and ride the bus as is. There are no designated changing areas, but you can change in the restroom.

2) Belongings & luggage
There is zero security. Rings and other small items can easily be lost, so newlyweds should be careful. There are no opportunities to use credit cards; cash for tips should suffice. You can store your belongings under the chairs, but seawater can drip from those sitting on the chairs, so they may get wet. Avoid fabric items. If you wrap your towel and change of clothes in plastic, you should be fine. I brought my passport but didn’t use it. I regretted not bringing a towel for the return bus, as it was very cold. With the air conditioning, I felt like I was in training with wet hair and a wet swimsuit. It was freezing. I went straight to the bath when I got back to the hotel.

3) Temperature
On June 13, it was sunny and perfect. It seems it was a bit cold at the sandbar a little while ago. This time of year is ideal, but it can get too hot later on, which can drain your energy due to direct sunlight.

4) Snorkeling
My 65-year-old mother did not participate and waited on the boat. I snorkeled for the first time. There were striped fish, but no colorful ones, and since there was no food, they didn’t come close, but I was satisfied. I think it lasted about 10 minutes, which was just right considering it was my first time and my mother was waiting alone on the boat. In addition to the life jackets provided to everyone, there was also a long floating stick. With the life jacket, I was able to relax and enjoy the underwater view.

That sums up my concerns and the results.

Regarding the flow after boarding, we stayed at the turtle spot and searched for turtles from the boat → arrived at the sandbar, got off and wandered around (taking photos individually and getting photos taken) → returned to the boat to prepare for snorkeling → moved to the snorkeling area. Since the boat doesn’t move, those who don’t snorkel can wander around the sandbar → snorkeling → return to the boat → lunch while heading back.

It’s best to board early. If there are many participants, good seats will be gone. The interior of the boat is recommended for those who don’t want to get sunburned. However, you can only see the sea from the sides and back of the boat. After snorkeling, I recommend returning to the boat without lingering. Everyone pays the same amount, and while we want to enjoy ourselves equally, others are others. No one will give up a good seat. Let’s enjoy ourselves while maintaining basic manners and asserting ourselves.

Turtles. They showed up here and there.

Restrooms. There are supposedly two on the boat, but I recommend using the ones at the port to avoid wasting time. They were cleaner than restrooms in Japanese stations or parks. We didn’t use the boat’s restroom, but unlike in Japan, they use a pump system for flushing, and paper should be disposed of in the trash.

Food and drink. Soft drinks were provided upon boarding. After snorkeling, we had sandwiches (ham and cheese) and about 7-8 pieces of something like Doritos, along with warm tea. I thought it was a bit shabby, but considering I had just swum for 10 minutes, the sandwiches and Doritos were delicious, especially since we could eat them casually on the boat. With many participants, I think it was best to have something we could sit down and eat calmly. The warm tea

海外に慣れた2人じゃないので心配が山ほど。
心配だった主なことは①服装②持ち物&荷物③気温④シュノーケリング。あとその他、思ったことなど。
①服装
水着に上はラッシュガード、下は9分丈の乾きやすいパンツ。長いスカートはチラホラ。長いパンツでも浮くこともなく皆さん自由&ラフ。下はハーフパンツ、ホットパンツの丈、バスタオルを巻いている人と様々でした。男性は膝丈の水着の方ばかりでした。
帰りは持参したタオルを敷けばそのままバスに乗れます。
着替える専用の場所はありませんが、トイレで着替えることができます。

②持ち物&荷物
セキュリティはゼロです。指輪とか落としやすいそうです。新婚さん注意。クレカを使う場面はありません。チップ分のキャッシュのみで良いと思います。イスの下に荷物を入れますが海水が椅子に座った人からつたって入ってしまうので濡れます。布製は避けましょう。タオルや着替えはビニールに包めば大丈夫です。パスポートも持っていきましたが使いません。私は帰りのバスが非常に寒かったのでバスタオルを持っていけば良かったと後悔しました。エアコンが効いているので髪も水着も濡れた状態では、修行している気分でした。極寒。ホテルについてお風呂に直行したくらい。

③気温
6/13晴れており最適でした。
少し前はサンドバーでも寒かったようです。これからの時期が最適で、その先になって暑すぎると直射日光で体力を消耗してしまうそうです。

④シュノーケリング
65歳の母は不参加で船で待ってました。
初めてシュノーケリングをしました。シマシマの魚はいましたが、カラフルな魚はいなく、また餌も無いので近くに来ることはありませんでしたが満足できました。10分程度だったと思いますが初めてであること、母が船で1人でまっていることを考えると10分という時間はちょうど良かったです。
全員に配備されるライフジャケット以外に、長い棒状の浮きもあり。ライフジャケットがあるので、リラックスして海中を見ることが出来ました。

以上が、心配していた事と結果です。その他について。

乗船してからの流れは、亀スポットにとどまり、船上から亀をみんなで探す→サンドバーに到着、降りてウロウロする(それぞれで写真を撮る、撮っても貰える)→船に戻ってシュノーケリングの準備→降りてシュノーケリングの場所に移動。船は動かないのでシュノーケリングしない人はサンドバーをウロウロしてても良いかも→シュノーケリング→船に戻る→ランチしながら帰港

乗船するのは早めが良いです。参加者が多いと、良い席がなくなります。船内は日焼けしたくない人にはお勧め。ただし船内からは海は脇と後方しか見れません。シュノーケリング後もタラタラせず船に戻ることをお勧めします。払ってる金額は一緒、平等に気楽にいきたいものですが、他人は他人。良い席を譲る人はおりません。最低限のマナーと自己主張のうえ、楽しみましょう。

亀。あちこちに姿を見せてくれました。

トイレ。船にも二つあるそうですが、せっかくの時間が勿体無いので港で済ませることをお勧めします。日本の駅や公園のトイレより清潔感がありました。私たちは船のトイレは利用しませんでしたが、日本のとは異なり流し方はポンプ式で紙は流さずゴミ箱に捨てるそうです。

飲食。乗船してソフトドリンク。シュノーケリングの後、サンドイッチ(ハムとチーズ)とドンタコス的なのが7〜8枚と、暖かいお茶。しょぼ〜、、と思いましたが、10分とはいえ泳いだ後でしたし、船の上で手づかみで気にせず食べれるサンドイッチとドンタコス的なものは最高に美味しかったです。参加者が多いので座って落ち着いて食べれるそれらはベストだと思いました。お茶も暖かくホッとできました。

午前中だけのツアーは、時間を有効に使える点、体力消耗を考えたらベストなツアーだと思いました。

案内をしてくださる方は日本語ペラペラ。女性で丁寧な説明をされる方だったので、安心できました。他のスタッフは現地感のあるラフで自由な人たちでした。

ちなみにサンドバーではタバコ吸ってもいいそうです。フィルター部分を捨てなければ。。
私たちは非喫煙者で特に母はタバコが嫌い。案内を聞いた時ちょっと残念でしたが、実際吸ってる人がいても、離れれて風上にいれば気になりませんでした。喫煙者の方は綺麗な海でタバコを吸えるなんて滅多にないので嬉しそうでした。

以上。帰りのバスの寒さ以外、とても満足できました。
寒さは自己の工夫と、管理次第でなんとかなります。

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＞

There are a lot of fish. お魚がたくさん

Reviewed by: のぶりん

As expected from Hanauma Bay, where regulations are well established, the number of fish was incredible. I've snorkeled several times in the beautiful waters of Okinawa, but it doesn't compare. Hanauma Bay is full of colorful fish whose names I don't know, including the Yagara. Unfortunately, I didn't encounter any sea turtles, but it's definitely a place I want to visit again. I hope to go before I get too old. Since I'm not very good at English, I really appreciated the guidance in Japanese. It allowed me to focus on observing the fish with peace of mind.

さすが規制がきちっと整っているハナウマ湾なだけあってお魚の数がはんぱではなかった。
沖縄の海もきれいなので何度かシュノーケルをしましたが、比になりません。
ハナウマ湾は名前のわからないカラフルな魚・ヤガラなどなど、とにかく多いです。残念ながらウミガメに遭遇することはできませんでしたが、是非また行ってみたい場所です。そんなに歳とらないうちに行きたいな。
英語があまり得意ではない私は、日本語での案内がとても良かったです。安心して魚観察に夢中になれました。

Hanauma Bay Self-Guided Snorkel Tour & Gear Rental with Hotel Transportation

Amazing views...like a postcard!

Reviewed by: Katie Morales

We loved snorkeling at Hanauma Bay! We could see fish all around us in waist-deep water, and even though it was busy, there was plenty of space to have our own experience. The food in the snack bar was good (although a little pricey), and I liked that we could rent life jackets and stoppers for our snorkels from the company once we got there. Just make sure you bring extra money for the entrance fee, tram (it saves a lot of uphill walking), equipment rental, and food. You can also bring food on the beach, so pack some snacks and water to save some cash.

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 absolutely great, but... 最高に良かったが･･･

Reviewed by: あばれるちゃん

I was able to see sea turtles five times! The guide was also enjoyable! The tide was just right, and the water at the sandbar was about 20 cm deep, so I am very satisfied.

However, couples on their honeymoon should be cautious.

After arriving at the sandbar, we were made to take group photos. I was surprised to find myself waiting in line at the sandbar.

I rated it two stars, but overall, I would like to give it five stars; however, I had to rate it this way because I really disliked this particular point.

ウミガメは5回会えました！ガイドの人も楽しかったです！
潮の具合もよくサンドバーでは足元20cmぐらいの深さでしたので大変満足してます。

ですが、2人きりのハネムーナーの方は注意してください。

サンドバー到着後に団体ごとに集合写真を撮らされます。
サンドバーで行列に並ばされたことには驚きました。

星評価２にしてますが総合的には5をつけたいぐらいですが、
どうしてもこの点だけが嫌でしたのでつけました。

It was beautiful. キレイでした。

Reviewed by: マキマキ

I thought there would be a completely sandy beach, but at the shallowest point, it was only about knee-deep. The pure white sand and the blue sea were very beautiful, and I was able to take some amazing photos. I was able to see not only sea turtles but also manta rays! It was truly a wonderful view.

完全に砂浜があるとかと思っていましたが、一番浅いところで、膝くらいでした。
真っ白な砂、青い海がとてもキレイで、とても素敵な写真を撮ってもらうことができました。
ウミガメはもちろん、マンタまで見ることができました！
本当に素敵な景色でした。

This is my second time at Captain Bruce's. キャプテンブルースは2度目

Reviewed by: おけいはん1109

I wanted to see that beautiful heavenly sea once more, so this time I joined the morning tour. The sandbar had quite a bit of water up to my waist before high tide, and there were few fish for snorkeling, plus I didn't see any sea turtles... I think the early morning tour I took last time was better, even though it was a bit colder; the water level was lower, there were more fish, and I was able to see sea turtles, which was really moving! However, I thought the staff's service and Captain Bruce's meals were good.

もう1度あの美しい天国の海をみたくて今回は午前ツアーに参加しました。サンドバーも満潮前で割と腰迄水が有りシュノーケリングも魚は少なくホヌも見れず…前回の早朝ツアーの方が多少寒くても水位が低く魚も多くホヌもみれて感動したかな⁈でもスタッフの対応やキャプテンブルースの食事は良かったと思います。

My boyfriend and I thoroughly enjoyed his tour of hanauma bay, it was definitely a highlight of our trip and even fulfilled one of my bucket list things to do. I will never forget the experience and recommend it highly. Also a huge bonus is Dan takes underwater pics of you snorkeling and post them up on his Facebook - free of charge!
