Hawaii
The crew was great and so was the experience. I would recommend it if you are in the area.
Had a great time! The crew (Bill and Sam) were so friendly and informative. We really enjoyed the tour of the coastline we were given between sites and all local history tidbits along the way. The captain was always certain to take us to a spot with calm waters and good visibility. Saw so many green sea turtles. Highly recommend Sea quest.
I attended my daughter's wedding in Hawaii and, while looking for a beautiful ocean tour, I discovered the Angel's Sea Sandbar. There were many stunning photos, so I decided to book it.
As expected, the blue ocean and the varying depths created beautiful colors. I was also able to see sea turtles clearly, and snorkeling among the coral reefs was fantastic. The BBQ lunch with grilled patties was very delicious.
Overall, I think the tour was quite good.
ハワイにて娘の結婚式があり、せっかくのハワイきれいな海のツアーを探したところ天使の海 サンドバーを発見とてもきれいな写真とかあり申し込みました。
ほぼ予想通り、青い海と海の深さにより色の違いがありとてもきれいでした。
ウミガメもしっかり見ることができたこと、珊瑚礁の中での素潜りそしてランチのBBQは炭焼きのパテを挟みとてもおいしかったです。
ツアーとしては、かなり良かったと思います。
This was an awesome experience. I had done the shark cage before, but I never thought that I'd be able to swim with the sharks without cage. I was a bit skeptical about the safety, but once I was in the water, I didn't feel threatened at all. It was just a calm and relaxing experience, and the sharks were not interested in humans at all. The sharks we saw were mostly Sandbar Sharks and Galapagos Sharks, and they only eat fish. They were more attracted to the sound/vibration of the boat engine. So the guide instructed us to stay away from the boat, and we stayed together as a group. We only have a group of 5 with 1 guide and 1 photographer in the water, so the experience was very intimate.
I highly recommend this activity to anyone, and really observe the sharks in their environment. Forget about Shark Weeks, Jaws, etc., and go see them with their own eyes so you can cure people's misconception about these beautiful creatures.
At first, the price was somewhat high, and I wasn't very enthusiastic about the activity, but I participated due to my girlfriend's strong insistence. After joining, I was convinced... it was a very enjoyable and good activity. There are additional fees for things like wetsuit rental and photo/video data (optional), but I think the basic content is quite satisfying. Since I brought my own underwater camera, I didn't purchase the photos or video data, but while the price seemed a bit high, they were well taken and definitely better than what an amateur could capture. I couldn't take nice pictures at all (cry). If you have children or are in a large group without an underwater camera, I think it's worth purchasing. They will take pictures of everyone, but they prioritize the buyers for the shooting... As for the dolphins, we saw them for a rather short time, but I think everyone wished to see them a bit longer. We also saw sea turtles swimming, which was a rare experience that you don't get to have often. The staff were amazing! They were all very lively, so if you're not good with that, it might be a bit much, but I truly felt it was worth participating. This is all my personal opinion, but if you have even a little interest, I definitely recommend joining (laugh).
最初はお値段もソコソコするし、そこまで乗り気では無いアクティビティだったのですが彼女のゴリ押しで参加しました。参加して納得…とても楽しく良いアクティビティでした。ウェットスーツレンタルや写真、動画データなどの+αの追加料金(希望制)もあったりしますが基本的には満足出来る内容だと思います。当方は水中カメラ持参でしたので写真や動画データは購入しませんでしたが、お値段は割高な気がしますがキッチリ撮っていてくれていて、やはり素人とは比べ物にならなく納得出来そうな良い物でした。自分は全然綺麗に撮れなかったです(泣) お子様が居るご家族や大人数で水中カメラ持参で無い様でしたら購入価値はかなりあるかと思います。皆、撮って頂けますが一応、購入者優先で撮影してくれますので…。肝心のイルカはかなり短い時間でしたが見れました。もう少し長く見たいと皆様、思われていたと思います。海亀も普通に泳いでいて中々体験出来ない貴重な時間でした。スタッフの方たちも最高でした!皆ノリノリで騒ぐ事もあるので苦手な方は苦手かもしれませんが参加して良かったと心から思いました。全て個人的な意見ですが興味が少しでもありましたら是非参加をオススメします(笑)
On November 2, 2016, I participated with a friend. The weather that day was sunny, although it was a bit windy, the event went ahead as planned.
We had an early start, with the hotel pickup at 5:40 AM, but we managed to wake up. Since we were the last to be picked up, the bus arrived a little late and was almost full. That day, the bus was packed, with about 80% Japanese and 20% foreigners.
From there, the bus drove to the west coast of Oahu. Inside the bus, we signed a simple waiver on the provided iPads and watched a video on snorkeling guidelines. Those who wanted to purchase photos (to be delivered via USB) or rent wetsuits needed to inform the staff at this time.
My friend rented a wetsuit (paying $10 on the spot), while I wore my own short-sleeve rash guard and had rented an underwater camera in Japan beforehand. Other equipment was provided as soon as we arrived at the port. There were various sizes available, so it’s a good idea to choose something that fits well. (Also, don’t forget to take motion sickness medication at this time!)
We boarded the boat, which was also quite crowded. It felt a bit cramped, but considering the focus was on the dolphins, the boat ride felt secondary. Still, the cheerful staff kept the atmosphere lively with dances and performances, making it enjoyable. You can also go up on deck and take a commemorative photo with the captain.
Before long, it was time for the much-anticipated dolphin encounter! We put on our fins and masks and all jumped into the sea together. It’s best to follow the leading staff and look around underwater! I had my camera, so I took a few pictures. There were about 50 dolphins in the pod, but I was only able to spot around 10. I wish I could have seen more!
After about 10-15 minutes, we got back on the boat and headed to the next spot. (Since the time is short, don’t waste it by dawdling!) It seemed like we were trying to chase the dolphins, but due to the current (it was quite windy that day—what a shame!), we had to give up on the dolphins here.
Next, we dove at a spot known for the honu, or sea turtles. I was amazed by the dolphins, but I was especially thrilled to see my first sea turtle (and so close!). My friend was also impressed by the sea turtles! The staff, who understood the turtles' ecology well, shared tips on how to observe them, which made it really enjoyable.
Additionally, there were (simple) stand-up paddleboarding, a water slide, and a trampoline, so I think both kids and adults can have fun with these activities.
The finale included a Hawaiian performance and the captain's special cheeseburger as a farewell!
The staff were very lively, so I felt that some people might not vibe with them. Personally, I had a great time, but my friend seemed a bit less enthusiastic. However, if you view it as part of the cheerful Hawaiian communication, it felt very natural. The staff were all in their twenties, so they were very energetic and good at keeping the mood up.
After arriving at the port, we had some time before the bus arrived, so the staff called out to nearby members and organized an impromptu yoga session! Doing yoga under the warm sun around 11:00 AM felt wonderful. I thought this kind of service spirit was lovely.
Finally, we were dropped off at the hotel, and everything ended smoothly. We arrived around 12:30 PM, so our afternoon schedule went as planned! If I could see more dolphins, I would definitely want to go again!
2016/11/2に、2人で参加してきました。
当日の天気は晴れ。風がやや強かったのですが、予定どおり決行されました。
朝の出発は、ホテルに5:40迎え、とだいぶ早かったのですが、なんとか起床。
迎えの順番が最後だったこともあり、若干時間に遅れて到着したバスは、ほぼ満席状態。
この日は満員で、日本人8割、外国人2割程度でした。
そこからバスはオアフ島西海岸まで、走って行きます。
バスの車内では、配布されるiPadで簡単な誓約書にサインをして、
シュノーケリングの基本ガイドラインのビデオを見ます。
写真購入(USBでの受け渡し)の方、ウェットスーツレンタルの方は、
このタイミングでスタッフの方に申告することになります。
相方はウェットスーツをレンタル(その場で10ドル支払い)。
私は自前のラッシュガード(半袖)で、
水中カメラは事前に日本でレンタルして持ち込みました。
その他の装備は、港に着いてすぐ支給されます。
サイズも結構幅があるので、自分にフィットするものを吟味するのが良いと思います。
(あと、このタイミングで酔い止め薬を飲むのを忘れずに!)
船には、これまた満員キツキツで乗り込みます。
少し手狭な印象でしたが、イルカをメインと考えれば、船上はおまけみたいなものです。
それでも、陽気なスタッフが、ダンスやパフォーマンスで盛り上げてくれるので楽しめます。
デッキに上がって、船長と記念写真を撮ることもできます。
そうこうしていると、待ちに待ったイルカタイム!
フィンやマスクを装着して、皆でぞろぞろと海に飛び込んで行きます。
できるだけ先導のスタッフについて行って、水中をキョロキョロ見まわすのが良いと思います!
私はカメラを持っていたので、数枚パシャり。
50頭ほどの群れだったそうですが、私が確認できたのは、10頭ほどでした。
もう少し、見たかった、、!
10〜15分ほどで、一旦船に上がり、次のポイントへ。
(時間が短いので、モタモタしているともったいないですよ!)
イルカを追いかけようとしていたみたいなのですが、
潮の流れ(当日は風強め。惜しい!)も影響し、イルカはここで断念。
そのあと、ホヌと呼ばれるウミガメのスポットへダイブします。
イルカも感動しましたが、私は初ウミガメ(しかも至近距離!)にことさら感動しました。
相方も、ウミガメ凄かった!と感動していました。
ウミガメの生態をよく理解したスタッフが、観察のコツを教えてくれるので、
しっかりと楽しめました!
その他にも(簡易的な)SUPや水上滑り台、トランポリンなど、
アクティビティーでわちゃわちゃできるので、子どもから大人まで楽しめると思います。
ラストはハワイアンなパフォーマンスと船長特製チーズバーガーで、お別れです!
ノリノリなスタッフたちなので、人によっては合わない方もいるかもな、と感じました。
ちなみに、私はかなり楽しめましたが、相方は少し気乗りしない感じでしたね。
でも、ハワイアンな陽気なコミュニケーションの一環と捉えれば、すごく自然でしたし、
20代のスタッフばかりなので、すごく機動力もあり、盛り上げ上手でもありました。
港に着いてから、バスの到着まで時間があったので、
スタッフが近くにいたメンバーに声を掛け、臨時のヨガタイム!
11:00過ぎの暖かくなった時間帯での太陽の下でのヨガは気持ち良かったです。
こういうサービス精神は素敵だなと思いました。
最後はホテルまで送ってもらって、無事終了。
到着も12:30ぐらいだったので、午後のスケジュールも予定通りスムーズでした!
もっとイルカ見れるなら、ぜひまた行きたいですね!
Absolutely amazing experience to swim with turtles. Crew were outstanding and fab music. A must when you visit Waikiki
It was amazing to see these incredible creatures in their natural environment. I almost can't describe the feeling I felt when we were swimming above them.
The crew was amazing, educated, patient, and most of all incredibly organized they were and genuinely cared about the animals safety and well being. We were observers, not there to disrupt these amazing creatures.
This is one of the classiest tours I have been on and believe me I have been on a lot not only in our country but several others. You need to experience this tour!
Mahalo Susan for joining us and taking the time to write this awesome review. We look forward to your return! - Lisa
I could only look at the turtles from above, and the snorkeling was murky... The weather was cloudy, so it was cold. I was really disappointed that I couldn't feel the angelic sea vibe at all... For lunch, we only had simple sandwiches...
亀も上から眺めるだけで、
シュノーケリングも濁ってて…
天気もくもってたので寒かった〜。
天使の海って感じを全く感じれなくて残念です…。
お昼も質素なサンドイッチだけでした…。
I think it's an activity that anyone can easily enjoy underwater, even if they can't swim, since you're just sitting on a scooter. However, it states that your face won't get wet, but when getting off the scooter, you're told to get off in the water, so you end up submerged. For the 4.5 people after the first, they also had to get on the scooter from underwater, so everyone was soaked. Perhaps because there were so many people, the wait time was long, and there was no snorkeling. However, the underwater scenery was beautiful, so I think it's worth experiencing at least once.
スクーターに座っているだけなので、泳げなくても誰でも簡単に水中を楽しめるアクティビティだと思います。ですが、顔が濡れないと記載されていますが、スクーターから降りる際水中で降りろといわれるので、結果水中に潜った形になってしまいます。4.5人目以降の人たちはスクーターに乗る際も、水中から乗る形になっていたので、みんなビショビショでした。人数が多かったせいか、待ち時間が長くシュノーケリングもありませんでした。ですが水中は綺麗だったので一度体験されるといいと思います。
We had a really nice time. Saw some sea turtles and some fish. Unfortunately it was windy and a boat of scuba divers scared off the fish and turtles or should I say made it hard to keep up with them. The crew was completely awesome. The sail to the other side of Diamond Head was amazing. We had a really good time.
I couldn't see sea turtles on the tour, but I was very satisfied to see many here. If you can swim, please consider renting or bringing your own fins. It seems to be a diving spot, and if you can dive to about 5 to 6 meters, you can see a variety of colorful fish. The area near the surface is full of black fish, so if you're confident in your swimming, give it a try. The staff was friendly, which was great.
海亀を見るツアーで見れなかったのですが、こちらで、いっぱい見れて大満足です。泳げる方は、是非フィンをレンタルもしくは、持参して下さい。ダイビングスポットらしく、5〜6m潜れれば、色とりどりの魚が見れます。海面付近は黒い魚だらけなので、泳ぎに自信のある人はチャレンジしてみて下さい。スタッフもフレンドリーな感じで良かったです。
I participated in the afternoon BBQ lunch. Since it wasn't originally a condition to see the sandbar, I accepted that and joined the tour. The tide was about knee-deep, but I was able to see beautiful scenery! I was also glad to see sea turtles, pufferfish, and striped jack. The staff were very cheerful, making it a fun tour! Next time, I want to join when the sandbar is visible! By the way, the food was delicious too.
午後のBBQランチ付き参加しました。
元々サンドバーが見れる条件ではなかったので、そこは納得してツアーに参加しました。
だいたい膝下くらいの潮位でしたが、綺麗な景色が見れました!
ウミガメやフグ、シマアジも見ることができてよかったです。
スタッフさんも凄く明るくて楽しいツアーになりました!
次回は、サンドバーが見えるタイミングを狙って参加したいです!!
ちなみに、ご飯も美味しかったです。
Aloha! Thank you for joining the Captain Bruce's Paradise of the Sea Tour. I'm really glad to hear that you enjoyed the beautiful scenery and encountered many sea creatures, as well as the meals. Please come back and visit us again. We look forward to seeing you!
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。
美しい景色やたくさんの海の生き物たちとの遭遇はもちろんのことお食事も楽しんでいただけたようで本当に良かったです。
ぜひ!また遊びにいらしてくださいね。お待ちしてます。
This was one of the best things we did in our short stay in Hawaii. The crew were helpful and kept us feeling safe the whole time. We got very close to a lot of turtles. We highly recommend as we want to go back again & again!
I participated with my husband and our 8-year-old daughter, and we had a great time. It felt so wonderful to walk in the middle of the ocean! The Japanese tour guide took photos in various ways and provided detailed instructions, which was very helpful. I wasn't expecting much from the hamburger, but it was authentic and delicious! The service was great, especially with warm drinks provided for our cold bodies!
The only thing that left me a bit unsatisfied was that I wanted to enjoy the scenery on the way to the sandbar, but there were too many explanations, and I couldn't fully appreciate the views. I understand that it's important, though. Also, since it was crowded, when I went to get lunch last, there were no salads or fruits left, and I wish they had reserved enough for everyone. It was especially disappointing since it was so tasty.
It was really fun! I would love to use this service again!
旦那、私、8歳娘で参加しましたが、とても楽しめました。海の真ん中を歩けるなんてとっても幸せな気分でした!
日本人のツアーのお姉さんが写真をいろんな形で、とってくださったり細かい指示を出してくれて助かります。
ハンバガーも期待していなかったら本格的で美味!
寒くなった体に温かい飲み物が出たりとサービスも良い!
大満足にしなかったのは、
サンドバーに着く間の景色も楽しみたかったが、説明が多く景色を堪能できなかった。大事なのはわかるんだけどね。
あとは、混んでいたからランチを最後に取りに行ったら、サラダもフルーツもなくなっていて、そこは人数分確保しておいてもらいたかったなー。美味だったから余計にね。
本当楽しかった!また利用したいです!
The tour was great. Luch was awesome! The highlight would have to be the vollyball game everyone in our group had a blast!
I participated last year as well, and it was so much fun that I joined again this year. The staff members are really fun people, the cruise is enjoyable, and the sandbar is incredibly beautiful! This time, sea turtles came very close, and I was able to see many of their adorable appearances. While snorkeling, I was able to swim alongside the sea turtles. It was another very enjoyable tour this year. I want to join again next year! 😊
去年も参加したのですが、とても楽しかったので今年もまた参加しました。
スタッフのみなさんはとっても楽しい人たちで、クルーズも楽しいし、
なんといってもサンドバーはすっごいきれいです!
今回はウミガメがすごく近くまで来てくれてたくさん可愛い姿が見れました。
シュノーケルをしてたときも、ウミガメと一緒に泳ぐことができました。
今年もとても楽しいツアーでした。
また来年も参加したいなぁ^^
I always wanted to check out the Turtle Canyon, and, on this particular trip, I was able to. My only complaint was that it was on the western edge of Waikiki Beach, which was somewhat inconvenient. In a perfect world, it would have been placed in the center of Waikiki's hotel row. I boarded the catamaran and was greeted by a very friendly and personable crew. Once on board, the staff gave us a safety briefing, then explained the protocol for snorkeling the area. Once we arrived at our destination, the captain dropped anchor and the group was off. It was not long before someone spotted some turtles. All of us watched in awe as we observed their underwater universe. We were in the water quite a while before the captain signaled us to come aboard. Then, we were treated to a magnificent sailing past Diamond Head and around Waikiki Beach. Between the snorkeling (an excellent exercise for me), the turtles and the sail, it was a perfect afternoon for me. I was back in time to go with my friend for evening entertainment. This is one of the top three activities you must do before you leave Hawaii. It is truly a magical day!
素晴らしい体験をありがとうございました。来年必ず戻ってきます!!
Thank you so much for such a wonderful experience.
I'll definately be back next year!!
Thank you, Jay the guide, Captain, and Justin the staff. ❤ Mahalo
I really appreciate all your help this time!
The dolphin tour starting with Hawaiian rituals and how to interact with marine life was a great learning experience.
ガイドのジェイ、キャプテン、スタッフのジャスティン。ありがとう❤Maharo
このたびは、大変お世話になりました❗
ハワイの神事から始まるイルカツアー。海の生物との接し方。とても良い勉強になりました。
We had a great time. The instructors were great, and the fish were awesome. I would love to do it again. Such a different experience then just snorkeling. Thank you.
Unfortunately, we couldn't see the sandbar due to the tides, but... it was heartwarming to see what seemed to be the sea turtle we had helped before swimming around the boat. We were able to enjoy a side of Hawaii beyond just Waikiki.
潮の干満の関係で残念ながらサンドバーは見られませんでしたが…
以前助けられたウミガメらしく、船の周りを泳いでいるのを見ると何だかいじらしく思えました。ワイキキだけでないハワイを楽しむことができました。
Aloha! Thank you for joining the Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour the other day. I'm glad you were able to see a sea turtle. While there's a high chance of encountering them, there are days when you can only see them from a distance. Wishing you lots of luck, Minachan!
アロハ〜!先日はキャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーにご参加ありがとうございます。
ウミガメに会えたんですね。かなりの確率で会えるとはいえ、たま〜にですが遠目でしか会えない日もあるんですよ。
minachanに幸運がたくさん届きますように!
The Angel's Sea was great! On the day we went, it seemed to be close to high tide, so the sandy area wasn't exposed (the water level was about waist-deep at its lowest). But with the beautiful sea and blue sky... the staff helped us with taking photos, which was nice.
I'm really not good at swimming, but I managed with snorkeling (my husband was able to swim, which helped). If needed, it would be better to bring a floatation device or something similar.
I hope to visit again if there's another opportunity.
天使の海、良かったです!
私たちが行った日は、満潮に近かったようで、砂場は出ていませんでした。(海の高さは、低くても腰くらいだった)
でも、綺麗な海に、青い空…写真撮影もスタッフさんが手助けしてくださり、良かったです。
私はすごく泳ぎが苦手ですが、
シュノーケルも何とかなりました。(旦那さんが泳げたから助かりました)
必要であれば、浮き輪など持参した方が良いでしょう。
また機会があればよろしくお願いいたします。
When we spotted dolphins from the boat, the crew called out, and one by one, we jumped into the sea and swam. At first, I was scared, but the crew member held my hand and pointed out, "Look over there!" Seeing the wild dolphins made me forget my fear. It was so much fun that I wanted to go every day. The joy was beyond what words can express. I absolutely recommend it. The crew members were amazing!
船に乗ってイルカを発見すると、クルーの人の呼びかけで、次々と海に飛び込み、泳ぎます。
始めは怖かったけど、クルーのお兄ちゃまが手を引いてくれて、ホラッ見てと教えてくれたり、野生のイルカを見れてもう怖さもありませんでした。
とにかく楽しくって楽しくって毎日行きたいって思うくらいでした。
文だけでは表せられないくらいの楽しさでした。
絶対に行ってほしい。
クルーの方々もメッチャ最高でした!
Aloha!
Junko, thank you for participating in Dolphin University!
We hope you will join us again when you come to Hawaii.
All of our staff are looking forward to welcoming you.
Mahalo!
Aloha!
じゅんこ様、この度はイルカ大学へのご参加ありがとうございました!
またハワイにお越しの際はぜひご参加ください。
スタッフ一同、心よりお待ちしております。
Mahalo!
I was able to swim with a large pod of dolphins! A sea turtle even came very close, which was a bit scary!
The staff worked really hard to find the dolphins, and I'm truly glad I participated!
I joined at the beginning of October, and I recommend borrowing a wetsuit. I borrowed one, so I wore a rash guard and shorts over my swimsuit on the way there and back. If you don't borrow one and go in with just a rash guard, you'll need to bring a change of clothes because the bus ride back can be cold ( •́ㅿ•̀ ). Also, if you get seasick, taking motion sickness medication is a must!
I definitely want to participate again when I visit Hawaii!
イルカの大群と一緒に泳げました!
ウミガメもすぐ近くまで来て怖かったぐらいです!
スタッフの方もとても一生懸命イルカの群れを探して下さって本当に参加して良かったです!
10月初めに参加しましたが、ウェットスーツ借りられる事をおすすめします。
私はウェットスーツを借りたので、行きに着ていたラッシュガードとショーパンを水着の上から来て帰りました。
借りずにラッシュガード等で入られる場合は着替え持って行かないと帰りのバスが寒いと思います( •́ㅿ•̀ )
あと船酔いする方は酔い止めは必須です!
またハワイを訪れた際はぜひ参加したいです!
Aloha!!
Thank you, Yuu, for participating in Dolphin Junior High!
All of our staff are looking forward to your next visit!
Mahalo!!
ALOHA!!
yuu様、この度はイルカ中学へのご参加ありがとうございました!
スタッフ一同、またのお越しをお待ちしております!
MAHALO!!
We went snorkeling as a family for the first time in Hawaii. Since the boat departs right in front of the hotel, you can easily enjoy it without having to go all the way to the North Shore. What surprised me was seeing a group of sea turtles swimming right in front of us. Even without snorkeling, the exhilarating feeling of sailing with the wind filling the sails was refreshing.
ハワイでは初めて家族でシュノーケリングしました。出船がホテルの目の前からなのでノースショアなどわざわざ行かなくてもお手軽に楽しめます。驚いたのは、ウミガメが目の前を群れなして泳ぐ姿が観れたこと。シュノーケリングしなくても帆に風をいっぱいに受けての疾走は爽快でした。
The guide was very skilled at storytelling, which heightened our expectations. There were many stories that I had never heard before. The sea was beautiful, and I enjoyed the atmosphere, but unfortunately, I didn't see any dolphins.
It seems that a few people who jumped in first were able to see them. There can be a difference in visibility depending on whether you jump in at the front or the back. So, it's necessary to jump in without hesitation, but even so, those at the back were delayed because of the large number of participants. There were about 35 people. Usually, tours have fewer than 10 participants, so I did feel a bit of a wait time.
ガイドの方の話がとても上手で期待感が高まります。
初めて聞くようなお話がたくさんあります。海もきれいで雰囲気は楽しめましたがイルカは見れませんでした。
先に飛び込んだ数人の方は見れたようです。飛び込む先頭と後方の差で見られないこともあるそう。
なので躊躇せずに取り込む必要があるのですが
それでも人数が多いため後方の方は遅れます。
35人くらいでした。
いつもは10人未満のツアーが多いため
待ち時間などもちょっと感じてしまいました。
ALOHA!
Thank you for participating in Dolphin University.
I'm sorry to hear that you didn't see many dolphins.
Regarding the waiting time, our staff will work even harder to improve.
Please join us again when you come to Hawaii.
MAHALO!
ALOHA!
この度は、イルカ大学にご参加いただきありがとうございます。
あまりイルカが見られなかったようで残念です。
待ち時間につきましては、スタッフ一同改善に向けてより一層努力していきたいと思います。
またハワイにお越しの際はぜひご参加ください。
MAHALO!
My friend who went to Hawaii with me couldn't swim, but we both wanted to see marine life. While searching for something to do, we came across this underwater scooter! We received an explanation on the boat, then put our faces in the water and hopped onto the scooter! After that, a diver accompanied us the whole way, taking us underwater! The water was clear and visibility was excellent★ Plus, there were so many fish that seemed used to people, swimming right up to us♪ They were so cute, and we even saw a sea turtle, which made for a happy time! We just had to straddle the scooter and gently press the accelerator at our feet (^^♪ They even took videos for us! It costs 3,000 yen, but I think it's worth it! It's so beautiful★ Once our time was up, we had free time. I wanted to swim, so I swam alone, and during that time, they kindly gave me bread to attract the fish! The staff were so nice, and we had a really fun time. I'm glad my friend who couldn't swim was satisfied too!
一緒にハワイに行った友人は、泳ぐことができない友人でしたが、
海の生物に会いたい気持ちは一緒で、何かないか探していたらこの水中スクーターに出会いました!!船の上で説明を受け、海に顔をつけてぼふっと水中スクーターの中に顔を出してすくーたーに跨ります!そうしたらあとはずっと後ろにダイバーさんがついてくれて海中まで連れて行ってくれます!海の水は透明でとっても視界がクリア★しかも魚は人に慣れているのかものすごい量が寄ってきました♪すごくかわいいし、ウミガメも見れたし、幸せな時間でした!私たちはスクーターにまたがり足元のアクセルを軽く踏むだけ(^^♪動画もとってくれます!有料(3000円)ですが、払う価値あると思います!とってもきれいなんです★自分たちの時間が終わったら、あとは自由時間です。私は泳ぎたかったので一人で泳がせてもらっていましたが、その時も魚が寄ってくるようにパンをくださいました!優しい方々でとっても楽しい時間になり、泳げない友人も満足していたようで良かったです!
The staff for the bus transfer didn't speak much Japanese, but as long as you can somewhat understand, you'll know when you're being called, so it's OK. The boat staff included Japanese staff, which was reassuring.
We enjoyed snorkeling and turtle watching, and if you time your visit to the sandbar correctly, you can experience the sandy beach in the water. When we went in early October 2016, the water was up to our knees, which was a bit disappointing, but we were glad to practice snorkeling in the beautiful sea and shallow waters!
バスでの送迎は少し日本語が通じないスタッフですが、なんとなくヒヤリングが出来れば呼ばれたりするのは分かるのでOK。船のスタッフは日本人スタッフもいるので安心でした。
シュノーケリングやタートルウォッチングも楽しめ、サンドバーは時期をしっかり見極めて行けば海の中の砂浜も体験できそうです。私達が行った2016年10月頭は膝まで水があり少し残念でしたが、綺麗な海のと浅瀬でのシュノーケリング練習が出来て良かったです!
I went on a 3-night, 5-day company trip. Since the schedule was tight, we were able to efficiently visit Hanauma Bay. We left in the morning and returned to the hotel by noon. It was fun to see many fish and sea turtles. It became a very good memory. Next time, I definitely want to participate privately as well!
3泊5日の社員旅行で行ってきました。余裕ある日程ではないので、効率良くハナウマベイに行ってこられました。朝出発し、昼にはホテルに戻れます。沢山の魚や海亀も見れて楽しかったです。とても良い思い出になりました。次回はプライベートでも是非とも参加したいと思います!
Thank you for joining us with a group of seven. Our tour goes directly from the hotel to Hanauma Bay, and after snorkeling, we return to the hotel, so if you choose the morning tour, you can be back in Waikiki before lunch. We will guide you to the best snorkeling spots based on the day's sea conditions and your swimming abilities. If you observe closely, you'll find a variety of marine life at Hanauma. It was great that you got to see turtles this time. Please come back to meet the fish of Hanauma again! Next time, we hope you'll join us for a private tour! We look forward to seeing you. Thank you. Mahalo!!
この度は7名様でのご参加ありがとうございます。私達のツアーはホテルからハナウマベイに直行して、シュノーケル後はすぐにホテルに帰りますので、午前のツアーでしたらお昼前にはワイキキに戻ってくることができますよ。シュノーケリングはその日の海のコンディションやお客様の泳ぎに合わせて、その日のベストコースをご案内致します。ハナウマはよく観察すると本当に色々な生物がいるんですよ。今回は亀にも会えて良かったですね。また是非ハナウマのお魚たちに会いに来てください!!
次回はプライベートで是非お越しください!!お待ちしています。ありがとうございました。Mahalo!!
