All Reviews for Snorkeling Cruises & Tours

This was so fun. Everyone in my family had a blast. The captain and crew were so friendly and welcoming. The food was outstanding. The snorkeling was great, we saw lots of fish and the reef was beautiful. We hung out with a huge pod of Hawaiian Spinner dolphins and got some great pictures. The kids (and their dad) thought the water slide was awesome. All around best snorkel trip!!! I'd highly recommend. Thank you!

I was expecting Japanese support, but there were only people who couldn't speak it at all, which made me a bit anxious. We were the only Japanese participants. In a way, it was nice to feel like we were really abroad, and I enjoyed that. However, the service was a bit careless, which was a bit tiring. I'm glad I got to see a lot of dolphins.

日本語対応になってましたが・・・全く話せない方たちしか居なかったので少し不安でした。参加者も日本人は私達だけでした。それはそれである意味海外に来ていると実感出来て楽しかったです。が・・・対応が適当なので少し疲れました。イルカには沢山出会えて良かったです。

I was able to see manta rays (^_^)v. The tour was conducted in Japanese, and my elderly husband and I participated, feeling安心して参加出来ました (able to participate with peace of mind). Thank you, Tori-chan. At first, I was very anxious, but I’m glad I took the plunge and joined; it was really great. I was very satisfied. The starry sky on the way back was beautiful too.

マンタ見れました(^_^)v
ツアー日本語で案内して頂き、年配夫婦で参加しましたが安心して参加出来ました。
トリちゃんお世話になりました。最初はとても不安でしたが、思い切って参加してとても良かったです。大満足でした。帰りの星空も奇麗でした。

I think there were no issues with the pick-up service. They came to pick us up at the hotel right on time. The weather was bad from the morning, and although it hadn't started raining yet, it was the coldest day in Hawaii. The explanation for snorkeling was longer than expected, and while we listened to it in the water, my husband and I were shivering, but we finally couldn't take it anymore and went back to the boat to drink some warm tea (laughs). The others also looked quite cold. By the time the return bus came to pick us up, it had started to rain quite a bit, which was disappointing, but I think it would be enjoyable if the weather is good. ★

送迎などは何の問題もなかったと思います。きちんと時間どうりにホテルへ迎えに来てくれました。朝から天気が悪く雨までは降っていなかったのですがハワイで一番寒い日でした。シュノーケリングの説明が思った以上に長く、海に浸かったまま話を聞くので主人と二人でぶるぶる震えながら頑張っていましたがとうとう耐え切れず船に戻ってあたたかいお茶をのんでいました（笑）ほかの方たちもかなりさむそうにしていました。帰りのバスが迎えに来る頃にはかなりの雨がふりだし、残念でしたが、天候さえよければ楽しめると思います★

You can have a fulfilling day from morning to evening, including transportation. I enjoyed the sandbar landing, the cruise, and snorkeling near the coral reefs, and the BBQ hamburgers on the boat were delicious. It was a popular tour with many participants for the activities. Whether the sandbar appears or the weather is good depends on luck.

移動を含めた朝から夕方まで充実した1日を過ごせます。サンドバー上陸（？）、クルーズ、珊瑚礁近辺のシュノーケリング、それぞれ楽しめましたし、船上で食べるBBQハンバーガーも美味しかった。人気のツアーだけあった大人数でのアクティビティです。あとはサンドバーでサンドが現れるか、天気が良いか、それぞれは運次第です。

I had the chance to meet dolphins for the first time. We sped ahead of a pod of dolphins on a thrilling boat ride! When we jumped into the water at the guide's timing, we got up close to a friendly family of dolphins, and we could even hear their cute voices underwater.

Don't miss the graceful swimming of our guide, Daisuke. He also shares his love for wild dolphins and his own dreams. If you're worried about seasickness, I recommend taking medication before boarding.

初めての参加でイルカに会えました。スリル満点のボートでイルカの群れに先回り！ガイドさんのタイミングで海に飛び込むと仲良く泳ぐイルカ家族に最接近、水の中ではかわいいイルカの声も聴けました。
ガイドのDAISUKEさんの華麗な泳ぎにも注目です。野生イルカへの愛情と自身の夢も語ってもらえます。船酔いが心配な方は乗船前に服薬をおススメします。

I had so much fun. Great value for money. There was a good amount of snorkel time (and lots of turtles!). Friendly staff! I would go again!

We had such a fun time snorkeling. I would very much recommend this tour for first time snorkeling. Dan was so helpful and patient with everyone, and a BIG thank you from us for that. This experience defiantly left us wanting to do this again.

I participated in the night ocean tour while nervously anticipating the big manta rays.

We traveled to the spot by boat. Super fast!! While enjoying the beautiful sunset, our Japanese guide, Tori, explained the precautions and the ecology of the manta rays. Each manta has a name, and Tori said she could tell them apart. Amazing!! Incredible!! Also, if you get seasick, you might feel it on the boat. So, the advice was to look far away instead of nearby!

When we arrived at the manta spot, there were lots of boats!

There was a light directed towards the seabed under a surfboard, and we watched the manta rays come to the light while feeding on plankton. We floated, holding onto the rope attached to the surfboard, using only snorkels without fins, waiting for the mantas.

The night ocean was sparkling with plankton, like jewels, creating a very magical atmosphere. Watching the twinkling plankton made time feel slow, as if I had entered another dimension.

As I was daydreaming, a large manta ray came by. It swam so close that I thought it would bump into me as it did a full turn! At first, I was nervous, but I gradually got used to it and thought, "Come on, manta!"

Before I knew it, time flew by as I was completely absorbed in the experience.

When we got back on the boat, it had turned completely dark, even though it was beautiful with the sunset before we left.

Despite wearing a wetsuit, it was still cold.

This tour was wonderful because our guide, Tori, was very kind and lovely. She remembered my name and called me by it, which made me feel a sense of closeness and made me want to come back! Additionally, I learned more about the Big Island, making it a two-for-one tour.

夜の海ツアー＆大きなマンタにビクビクしながら参加しました。

スポットまではボートで移動。
超スピード！！
横目にキレイなサンセットが見ながら、
日本人ガイドのトリちゃんが注意事項やマンタの生態などについて説明してくれ、
各々マンタには名前が付いていて、
トリちゃんは見分けられると言っていました。
驚き！！
すごい！！
そして、ボートの揺れに酔う人は酔うかも。
と言うことで、近くを見ないで、遠くを見ること！と注意事項。

マンタのスポットに着くとボートがいっぱい！

サーフボード？の下に海底に向けてライトがついていて
その光に寄ってきながらプランクトンを食べるマンタを見ます。
フィンなしでシュノーケルのみでサーフボードについている縄を持ちながら
浮かんでマンタを待ちます。

夜の海中はプランクトンがキラキラと宝石のようでとても幻想的。
キラキラ舞うプランクトンを見ていると
時間軸もゆっくりゆっくり。。
別の異次元にきたように感じました。

ぼんやりしていると、大きなマンタが来ました。
大きな体をくるっと一回転して、私の身体にぶつかる！と思うほど
近くを通っていきました。
最初は、ドキドキしましたが、次第に慣れてきて、
マンタ！きて！！と思いました。

夢中になっていると時間はアッと言う間でした。

ボートにあがると、出発前は夕陽でキレイだったのに
真っ暗になっていました。

そしてウエットスーツを着ているにも関わらず寒かったです。

このツアーはガイドのトリちゃんがとても親切でステキな方です。
名前を憶えてくれ、名前で呼んでもらえることで
親近感を持てて嬉しかったし、また来たい！と思いました。
更に、ハワイ島の情報を教えてもらい、一石二鳥のツアーでした。

The staff were fun and it was a great time. The day I made the reservation was forecasted to be rainy, but somehow it cleared up, and the sandbar looked beautiful. However, since it had been raining for several days, the water level was up to my waist, which was deeper than I had imagined. The lunch hamburger was also delicious, as they grilled the meat on the boat. I would love to go again if I have the chance!

スタッフのみなさんも、楽しい人たちでとてもたのしかったです。
わたしが予約した日は雨の予報でしたが何とか晴れ、サンドバーは綺麗に見れました。
ただ連日雨だったので腰くらいの位置まで水かさがあり想像してたよりは深かったです。
ランチのハンバーガーも船で肉を焼いてくださり、おいしかったです。
また機会があれば行きたいです！！

We participated as a family of five, and I had been wanting to join for a while. This time, I went with my daughter and grandchildren. I prayed to meet dolphins as we set out, and I was satisfied with the crew's cheerful demeanor and thoughtful arrangements for everyone. We encountered many dolphins, even twice!

Later, during snorkeling, we were lucky to meet a turtle. It would have been perfect if the water clarity had been better, but unfortunately, it was a bit disappointing. There were various activities like kayaking that kept us entertained. The hamburgers for lunch were surprisingly delicious; I thought one per person was not enough, and I wished for another because they were that good. The family photo taken when we disembarked became a wonderful memory. I highly recommend this for families and couples.

家族５人で参加しました、以前から一度参加したいなと思っていたところ今回は娘、孫たちと一緒に参加しました。イルカに会えるかなと祈りながら出向でした、クルーの人たちの底抜けに明るい、参加皆に心憎い計らいに満足し、たくさんのイルカに出会いました、２回も、、
その後シュノーケリングの最中亀に出会いラッキーでした、海の透明度がもっと良かったら最高でしたが残念ながら透明度はもう一つ残念、カヤック体験などいろいろメニューがあり私たちを退屈させませんでした、お昼のハンバーガーも予想以上に美味しく良かったと思います、１人１個なのでもう１個あればいいなーと思いました、それほど美味しかったです。下船の時家族写真は良い記念になりました。。家族ずれカップルにお勧めです。

I dove close to a group of dolphins that were napping!!

Did I go to see the dolphins? Or did I go to be seen by the dolphins?

I was surrounded by dolphins like a small fish?!

Dolphins were everywhere, to the side and below.
I was also able to see rays, turtles, and a large number of tropical fish up close, which made me very satisfied♪

I will go again!!

お昼寝中のイルカの群れに近付きダイブ!!

イルカを見に行ったのか？
イルカに見られに行ったのか？

まるで小魚のようにイルカに囲まれました？！

横にも下にもイルカだらけ。
エイや亀 大量の熱帯魚も間近に見られ大満足♪

また行きます!!

The pickup was early at 6:05 AM, which is quite a start. Starting next year, due to changes in American law, it may become illegal to approach dolphins within 100 yards, so there’s a possibility that the tour itself may be discontinued. I thought this might be my last chance to swim with wild dolphins in Waikiki this year, so I signed up. There were no changing rooms or showers, which was inconvenient, but the fun far outweighed that. We discovered a pod of dolphins and immediately jumped in at the guide's instruction. If you hesitate, you might miss them; dolphins are very fast. It doesn’t feel like swimming with dolphins; it feels like dolphins are zooming past you at high speed around and below you. After watching the dolphins, we enjoyed super fun snorkeling surrounded by colorful fish, and we were able to see sea turtles up close (but touching them is not allowed). You can also enjoy kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding. The crew and staff were very friendly, and we had a great time playing in the ocean. We were able to return by early afternoon, so we had plenty of time for sightseeing afterward.

ピックアップは早朝6時5分と早いスタートです。来年からアメリカの法律が変わりイルカに100ヤード以内近づけなくなるためツアー自体が無くなる可能性もあります。ひょっとして今年がワイキキで野生イルカと泳げる最後のチャンスかもと思い申し込みました。着替える所もシャワーもありません、不自由と言えば不自由でしたがそれを上回る楽しさでした。イルカの群れを発見しガイドの指示で直ぐ飛び込みます。ぼやぼやしてると見損ないます、イルカはとても速いです。イルカと一緒に泳ぐという感覚ではありません、自分の周りや下を猛スピードでイルカが通り過ぎる感じです。イルカ見学の後は色とりどりの魚に囲まれての超楽しいシュノーケリング、ウミガメもタッチできる距離で見れました(タッチはNGです）。カヤックやスタンダップパドルも楽しめます。クルー、スタッフたちはとてもフレンドリーで陽気な海遊びが十分楽しめました。昼過ぎには帰れるので午後も十分観光できました。

Totally recommend. The crew were excellent, as was the catamaran. Views spectacular and highlight of the trip was being visited by the spinner dolphins - I have never seen so many. Well worth doing if you visit Maui.

I had been looking forward to this place for a long time. It was sunny, but as soon as we got on the boat, it started to rain... Fortunately, it stopped quickly. What impressed me the most was the service. The staff promptly wiped down the benches that had gotten wet from the rain. I didn't expect that at all since I was in my swimsuit and it was overseas, so I was really happy about it. Also, surprisingly, the boat's restroom was clean!

In addition to seeing sea turtles, we also spotted manta rays (which are said to be rare), and I was very satisfied with the snorkeling experience. The staff were all kind and entertaining. The lunch was delicious too; the captain grilled hamburgers on the boat, which made for great burgers.

The only downside was that the sandbar was a bit deep. But that can change from day to day, so I just had bad luck... I'm thinking about trying again next year. I would like to go with the same tour company as this time.

前々から行きたかった場所でとても楽しみにしていました。晴れていたのですが船に乗って早々雨が…
でもすぐ止んだので良かったです。でもここで良かったのはサービス。雨に濡れたベンチをスタッフの方がきちんと拭いて下さりました。水着だしましてや海外だし全くそんな事期待していなかったのにとても嬉しかったです。また船のお手洗いも意外にもキレイ！！
海ガメに加えマンタも見られ(マンタはたまにしか見られないそう)シュノーケリングも大満足。
スタッフの方もみなさん親切で面白い♪ランチもキャプテンが船で焼いてくれるハンバーグを使ったハンバーガーで美味しかったです。
今回残念だったのは少しサンドバーが深かった事。でもこれは日によって変わるし運が悪かった…
また来年チャレンジしよっかな。
今回と同じツアー会社さんで行きたいです。

I visited the Big Island of Hawaii for the first time, and my main goal was to see manta rays! That's why I joined this tour.

First, there was our Japanese female guide, Torichan (sorry, I forgot her full name...). We drove there by rental car, but the place was so vast that we couldn't find the university and ended up going in circles until she kindly approached us. She had a perfect sun-kissed body, was energetic and kind, and made the tour enjoyable.

The tour started with us changing into wetsuits and listening to a brief explanation and safety instructions. Then we set off on a Zodiac boat. The boat had long benches facing away from each other, but we were thrilled to sit facing forward on the cooler at the front! (Once we left the harbor, we got to ride on the edge of the boat like on a banana boat.) It was exhilarating and quite bumpy. My companion gets seasick, so they took medication beforehand, but the rocking was so intense that it was beyond just feeling sick (laughs)...

Once we arrived at the spot, we took turns entering the night sea, holding onto modified surfboards, and waited for the manta rays while snorkeling horizontally. To keep ourselves horizontal, we placed our feet on noodles to float. They would slip off quickly, but if you shouted, "It slipped off!" the guide would help you put your feet back on. The guide did an amazing job in the pitch-black sea. m(_ _)m

Fortunately, we didn't have to wait long, and the manta rays came right away! It was truly incredible! We were so excited to see three to four manta rays gracefully swimming slowly! (This excitement continued in the car ride back and even after returning to the hotel.) After about 20 minutes, the manta rays swam away, and the tour ended safely.

On the way back, we enjoyed the thrill of speeding across the dark sea. I don't get seasick, but there were about 19 people, both Japanese and foreigners, and some of them felt unwell. Since there's a possibility of getting seasick while moving on the boat or floating in the sea, I recommend being in good health and fully prepared to participate. Otherwise, the amazing experience might be diminished.

Actually, we had to change our original reservation date due to bad weather, and I appreciate the courteous handling of the cancellation notice and reservation change over the phone. We were scheduled to move to Oahu the day after, so it was great that we could seize this last chance.

I'm glad I graduated from university after skipping middle and high school!!

今回初めてハワイ島を訪れました。その最大の目的はマンタを見ること！そのためこのツアーに参加しました。
まずは日本人女性ガイドのとりちゃん（すみません、フルネーム忘れました...）。レンタカーで行ったのですが、場所が広すぎて大学が発見できずグルグルしていると、声をかけて頂きました。完璧な日焼けボディで、元気で優しく、ツアーを楽しませてもらいました。
ツアーは、ウェットスーツに着替えて最初簡単な説明と注意事項等を聞き、ゾディアックボートで出発。ボートには背中合わせで横向きに長椅子があるのですが、私たちは先頭のクーラーボックスに正面向きに座らせてもらい感激！（港を出るとボートの淵にバナナボート風に乗せてもらえます。）スピード感あり結構揺れて楽しめます。連れは船酔いするため事前に薬は飲んではいたものの、揺れが激しすぎて酔うどころではなかったと（苦笑）...
さてポイントに到着後、順番に夜の海に入り改造サーフボードにつかまり、身体水平シュノーケリングでマンタを待ちます。水平を保つためヌードルに足の甲をのせて浮かせます。すぐに外れますが「外れたぁ～！」と叫べば、ガイドさんがまた足をのせてくれます。ガイドさん真っ暗な海上で大仕事です。m(_ _)m
この日はそれほど待つこともなく、すぐにマンタやってきました！ほんと、ヤバいです！この日は３～４枚ほどのマンタの優雅でスローな泳ぎに大興奮！！（この興奮は、帰りの車中はもちろん、ホテルへ戻ってからも続いてました。）２０分程でマンタもどこかへ行ってしまって、無事終了。
帰りも真っ暗な海を疾走するボートを楽しめます。
僕は船酔いしないのですが、この日も日本人＋外国人あわせて１９名ほどいらっしゃいましたが、具合を悪くされた方がいらっしゃいました。ボート移動や海に浮かんでいる時など酔われる可能性あるので、体調は整えて準備万端で参加されることをお勧めします。最高の感動が半減しちゃいますからね。
実は私たちは、当初の予約日が荒天のため翌日に変更してもらいました。その際も現地にてお電話で中止連絡頂や予約変更をご丁寧に対応頂き、感謝しております。翌々日はオアフ島へ移動する予定だったので、ラストチャンスを物にでき良かったです。
中・高とばして大学夜学部を無事卒業できてよかったです！！

This was my first time participating. I was sleepy from the early morning pickup, but I took a short nap in the car while receiving instructions and explanations about the tour. We arrived at the port around 8:00. After a restroom break and applying sunscreen, we boarded the boat. There was an introduction of the captain, staff, and photographer, followed by a departure ceremony. Each of us held a plumeria flower and sang the song "Eho Mai" as we set off to search for dolphins. After about 30 to 40 minutes, we spotted a pod of dolphins, and with the captain's "Go!" signal, everyone jumped in!

However, the pod quickly disappeared, and we had to wait. After that, the dolphins were hard to find, and we extended our search by 90 minutes. Once my wet body started to feel cold in the wind, the captain gave the "Go!" signal again!

It was an indescribably mystical sight. Right in front of us was a pod of dolphins, and there were about 30 to 40 of them nearby, both below and in the distance. We were able to see the dolphins at a very close range.

This time, it took a while to find the dolphins, so we couldn't do any other activities, but I still made wonderful memories. I'm really glad I participated. Thank you very much!

Mahalo~☆

今回初めての参加でした。早朝のピックアップで眠かったのですが、車の中でしばしの仮眠＆ツアーの注意点や説明などを受けました。港に着いたのが８：００頃でした。トイレ休憩＆日焼け止めを塗ったりと準備をして、いざ乗船。船長さん、スタッフの方々、カメラマンさんの紹介などがあり、出航の儀式へ。各々プルメリアの花を持ち、エホマイの歌を歌いイルカ探しへ。３、４０分経った頃、イルカの群れを見つけ、船長さんの「Go！」を合図に皆で入水！！
しかし、イルカの群れはすぐに居なくなってしまい、一旦待機へ。その後、なかなかイルカが現れずに、通常より90分延長してのイルカ探し。一度濡れた体が風に触れ、ガクガクブルブル冷え込んできた頃、再び船長さんのGo！！サイン！！
もう、言葉にならない程の神秘的な景色。目の前にはイルカの群れ、下も前も遠くにも、３、４０頭は居たのかな？かなりの至近距離でイルカを見ることが出来ました。
今回はイルカ探しに時間がかかり、他のアクティビティーが出来ませんでしたが、それでも素敵な思い出が出来ました。本当に参加して良かったです。ありがとうございました☆

I participated with my mother. Unfortunately, I ended up just observing, but the beautiful blue sea, great weather, and the sea breeze while riding the boat made it truly the best time. The photos taken by the dedicated photographer are also treasures from this trip.

Next time, I will see dolphins in the water too!

母と参加しました。
残念ながらわたしは見学することになってしまったのですが、青い海といいお天気、潮風に吹かれて船に乗っているだけでも本当に最高の時間でした。
専属カメラマンの方にとっていただいた写真も今回の旅行の宝物です。

次こそわたしも海の中でいるかを見ます！

It was just an ordinary shallow sea. There are more sea turtles around Hawaii Island, which is fun. It was great to see manta rays. I was dissatisfied that the snorkeling was adjusted for beginners.

ただの普通の浅瀬の海だった。ウミガメはハワイ島の方が沢山いて楽しい。マンタが見れたのは良かった。シュノーケルは初体験の人に合わせて行うのが不満。

It was fun, very friendly host & relaxing atmosphere. Well instructed with easy instructions.

I can speak English (intermediate level), but my husband cannot at all. However, after seeing some experiences, it seemed like we could enjoy it to some extent, so I decided to sign up to see Hawaii Island from the sea.

I thought my husband would feel more at ease if there was at least one other Japanese person in our group, but unfortunately, all five other groups were American. When we gathered at the shop and saw the others, my husband started saying, "Oh no..." While we did receive a paper with points of interest and precautions written in Japanese beforehand, to be honest, even if I tried to read the explanations of some highlights in advance, I couldn't retain the information, and if I couldn't catch what was being said, I had no idea which explanation corresponded to which sight.

The captain and the staff girl who accompanied us were kind. They paid attention to us properly. However, the chatter while on the boat was hard to hear due to the loud motor noise, and I couldn't even catch what the captain or staff were explaining to nearby people or the casual conversations they were having. I couldn't enjoy conversing with others. It seemed like the people around us sensed that it might be better not to talk to us, as we were quite alone during the snorkeling point, and my husband especially didn't seem to enjoy it that much. It might be more suited for those who don't mind their surroundings or for children.

It probably depends on the members of the group, but during our time, there were only adults, so the captain skillfully maneuvered the boat, which tilted quite a bit, making it a thrilling ride. However, even while moving, if you don't hold onto the rope tightly with one hand, you might get thrown off, so I think it would be difficult for anyone younger than upper elementary school age.

The snorkeling point was honestly average. Unfortunately, we couldn't swim with the dolphins, but they were always looking for dolphins, and thanks to that, we were able to observe different types of dolphins from the boat twice.

We took a taxi to the shop, and since I had requested them to call a taxi for our return, they kindly dropped us off at a nearby dock to save on taxi fare.

While we enjoyed the sea, it might not be suitable for those who are concerned about their surroundings. Also, please be careful about sunburn. I thought I had applied sunscreen thoroughly, but the hairline area that was exposed from under the snorkel mask got burned. And so did my parting... They told us to remove our caps as they might blow away. A hoodie with a hood is recommended.

私は英語ができますが（中上級程度）、夫は全くです。
でも体験談を見ていると、それなりに楽しめるようだったので
海からハワイ島を見てみたいと思い、申し込みました。

１組でも日本人がいれば、夫も安心するだろうと思っていましたが
残念ながら、他の５組は全てアメリカ人でした。
ショップに集合して他の人を見た時点で、夫は「え〜〜」と言い始め、
確かに事前に立ち寄るポイントや注意事項が日本語で書かれた紙をいただきましたが
正直、いくつかの見どころの説明を事前に読もうとしても
頭に入らないし、聞き取れないと、どれがどれの説明だったかはさっぱりだと思います。

キャプテン、同乗したスタッフの女の子は親切でした。
ちゃんと私たちにも目を配ってくれました。
ただ、ボートに乗っている間のおしゃべりは、モーター音がすごいので
かなり声を張り上げないと聞こえず
私ですら、キャプテンやスタッフが近くの人に何か説明していたり
世間話をしているような会話が聞き取れず、
他の人と会話を楽しむというようなことはできませんでした。
周りの人たちも、私たちには話かけない方がいいのかなみたいに
察したのか、シュノーケリングポイントでは随分時間があったのですが
私達はぽつんと２人きりで、特に夫はそれほど楽しめていないようでした。
周りを気にしない人や子供の方が向いているかもしれないです。

その時のメンバーによるのでしょうが、
私達の時は、大人ばかりでしたので
キャプテンがボートを自由自在に操って、ボートがかなり傾いて
スリルのある楽しい乗り物でした。
ただ進む際でも、片手ではしっかりロープを握って
いなければはじき飛ばされそうで、
せめて小学校高学年位でないと無理だろうなと思います。

シュノーケリングポイントは、正直普通でした。
残念ながら、イルカと一緒には泳ぐことはできませんでしたが、
イルカを見つけようと常に探してくれて、お陰で２度ボートの上から
違う種類のイルカを観察することができました。

ショップまではタクシーで行き、
事前に帰りはタクシーを呼んでねとお願いしていたら
私達のホテルの近所に桟橋があったせいか、
タクシー代節約してねと帰りはそこに寄って先に降ろしてくれたので助かりました。


海は楽しめましたが、周りを気にするような人には向いていないかもしれません。
あと、日焼けには注意してください。
私はがっつり日焼け止めを塗っていたつもりでしたが、
シュノーケルのマスクからはみ出した髪の毛の生え際部分が焼けてしまいました。
そして髪の毛の分け目も…。
キャップは飛ばされるので、外してねと言われます。
フードのついたパーカーがおすすめです。

I was able to see dolphins!!!
Since I had heard that wild dolphins might not be seen sometimes, I was a bit worried about today, but I was truly moved to be able to see them o(^▽^)o♡
I was able to see them so clearly that I felt like I was looking at an aquarium tank.
I got to watch them swim for a while, and I was so happy to see a small baby dolphin too!
They swam quite close to us.
The dolphins were really cute o(^▽^)o
Not only dolphins, but I also saw about five or six sea turtles!
It was my first time seeing so many sea turtles up close, and I was really impressed!
When they came up for air, I was able to see them so closely, it was amazing!! I regretted not bringing an underwater camera... (laughs)
On the boat heading to the dolphin swimming point, the crew members kept the atmosphere lively, and we had a great time♡
The hula dance was wonderful too♡♡
I've participated in various tours before, but I think this was the most fun tour I've ever had!
The Japanese was so good, just like a native speaker, so I had no trouble during the tour (^｡^)
I definitely want to participate again when I go to Hawaii! Thank you so much!

イルカ見れました〜！！！
本当に野生のイルカだから
見れない時もあると聞いていたので、今日はどうかなーと少し心配でしたが見ることができて本当に感動しましたo(^▽^)o♡
水族館の水槽を見てるのかと思ったぐらいにしっかり見れました〜
しばらく泳ぐ姿を見ることができたし、
小さい赤ちゃんイルカも見れて嬉しかったです！
私たちの割と近くを泳いでくれました。
イルカ本当に可愛かったo(^▽^)o
イルカだけじゃなくて海ガメも５〜６匹見れました！
あんなに近くで、あれだけの海ガメを見たのは初めてで大感動でした！
息継ぎをしに上がってきた時は本当に近くで見れて感動！！水中カメラ持って行けば良かったと後悔しました・・・（笑）
イルカが泳いでいるポイントまで向かうときの船でもクルーの方々が盛り上げてくれて楽しく過ごせました♡
フラダンスも素敵でした♡♡
今までいろんなツアーに参加してきたけど
１番楽しかったと思うツアーになりました！
日本語も日本人みたいに上手だったのでツアー中も何不自由なかったです(^｡^)
またハワイに行ったらぜひ参加したいです！ありがとうございました〜！

Crew were a delight and right when you get into the water the snorkeling is amazing and full o wonder!! No board was a rep from Snuba offering scuba diving, if you get the chance, take it!!! Worth the extra payment and such a great memory!!!

First I was really afraid because I can barely float, I don't swimming if is not at the pool and going short distance. But I decided to have a new experience as a solo traveler in Hawaii as my first visit. The crew were just amazing, the lady at office received me with a big smile and was very friendly. The rest of the crew really made me feels good and my fears went away. When we got to the spot in the sea the first animal I saw was a turtle, and was an amazing feeling. While the crew organizing every scooter the only thing in my mind was "oh please I don't want to be the first one", after the captain told me I will be the next, I ended up being the third person going under. Words can not explain, you really need to go and have this experience where you can actually be close and touch animals under the sea.
I was lucky enough to see turtles, different kind of fish and even an octopus that got stuck on my big helmet for my pictures and video.
By the end of the day I got my photos and video, I've played my video and couldn't believe that the woman was me, they really did a good job, from the beginning to the end
I really recommend BOB's Adventure underwater scooter, specially if you don't swim at all, like me.


PS: I took the bus to get there from downtown, the commute was really easy and you will get so see more.

The sandbars you see on TV only appear when you calculate the tides. If you happen to experience a water depth of around your ankles, I think you’re quite lucky. The world you see on TV might be a bit difficult to experience on a tour, unless you rent a private boat and plan the date and time accordingly. When I went, it was from mid to late September, and the shallowest part was about halfway up my thighs.

Indeed, the water near the sandbar was clear and beautiful. However, it rained, and the overall experience was somewhat lacking.

The hamburgers made on the boat were delicious. The patties were frozen, but they grilled them on a BBQ, so they tasted great.

The issue came after lunch. We moved from the sandbar to an area with lots of coral for snorkeling. They took us to a place where you could say the coral spread over a large area. We were warned not to touch the coral, but depending on the tides, in shallow areas, the coral was about 30 cm below the surface. Can you swim in such places? The coral wasn’t particularly beautiful, and there weren’t many fish, so I didn’t feel the joy of snorkeling at all. Additionally, I was the only one who got stung by jellyfish multiple times on both shoulders and hands, having to endure pain and itching. You could say I was unlucky, but for this kind of experience, it felt overpriced.

テレビで観るようなサンドバーは潮の満ち引きを計算しないと現れません。
偶然にも足首程度の水深を体験出来た方は、かなりラッキーだと思います。
テレビで観るような世界は、ちょっとツアーでは難しいかな？プライベートで借り切って、日にちや時間も計算して行くなら別ですけど。
私が行った時は9月中旬～下旬にかけてでしたが、1番浅い所で太股の中間ぐらいでした。

確かにサンドバー近くは海は透き通っていて、きれいではありました。
しかし、雨は降るし、何とも言えない感じでした。

ただ船の上で作ってくれるハンバーガーは美味しかったです。( ´艸｀)パテは冷凍物ですが、BBQ用のコンロ？で焼いてくれるので、美味しかったです。

問題はランチを食べた後。
サンドバーから、珊瑚がたくさんあるところへ移動して、シュノーケリングをします。確かに珊瑚のの岩と言ってもいいぐらい大きい範囲にわたって珊瑚がある場所に連れて行ってくれます。
珊瑚には触らないようにと注意を受けましたが、潮の具合なのか浅いところだと水面から30cmぐらいの所に珊瑚があります。こんな所で泳げますか？？
特にキレイ珊瑚でもないし、魚がたくさんいるわけでもなく、シュノーケリングの楽しさが全く感じられませんでした。
そして私だけクラゲにたくさん刺されて両肩、両手と痛みと痒みに耐えなければなりませんでした。
運がなかったと言えばそれまでですが、こんな内容に対しては高いという感じです。

It was a wonderful experience!
I saw a pod of about 20 dolphins swimming right there.
Motion sickness medication is a must.

とても素晴らしい体験でした！
20頭ほどのイルカの群れがすぐそこを泳いでいくのが見えました
酔い止め必須です

I was most excited to be at the actual (gilligans Island) unfortunately....not really allowed to be on the Island. Fun kayak beautiful scenery and some nice snorkeling as well

Great Boat Great music great views lots of sea turtles ......what more could you ask for

The veteran captain carefully considered the habits of the dolphins and the interactions with other boats when deciding on the points, so we were able to swim with the dolphins four times (he even extended one session for those who couldn't see them). I would like to use this service again if the opportunity arises.

ベテラン船長さんが、イルカの習性と他の船との兼ね合いなど全てを考慮してポイントを決めてくださったので4回(見れなかった人のために1回ねばってくださり)全てイルカと泳ぐことができました。また機会があれば利用させていただきたいと思います。
