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＞

Sea turtles are so cute!! ウミガメかわいい！！

Reviewed by: まりるら

I experienced it on April 2nd. It was disappointing that the water level at the sandbar rose to knee height and there was no sandy area, but I was amazed by the gradient of the ocean's color! During the sea turtle watching, I was able to see several turtles from a distance. We went snorkeling around a large coral table, but in some areas, there were only a few fish. When we moved, we encountered many fish, and two sea turtles appeared, swimming so close that we could almost touch them! They were incredibly cute, and quite big! If I followed them, it felt like they would take me to the Dragon Palace. There are also turtles resting under the coral, so it's worth looking closely for them! The burgers grilled on the boat were big and delicious! The staff were fun, and I was really glad to have taken this tour.

4/2に体験してきました。ｻﾝﾄﾞﾊﾞｰではひざ下まで水位が上がって砂地がなかったのが残念でしたが、海の色のｸﾞﾗﾃﾞｰｼｮﾝに感動！ウミガメｳｫｯﾁﾝｸﾞでは少し離れて何匹も見れました。ｼｭﾉｰｹﾘﾝｸﾞは大きな珊瑚ﾃｰﾌﾞﾙのまわりでしましたが、場所によっては魚が数匹しかおらず、移動してるとたくさんの魚と、そしてウミガメも二匹現れ触れるほどの近くで一緒に並んで泳ぎました！！
と～～ってもかわいかった、しかもbigサイズ！ついて行ったら竜宮城に連れて行かれそう。
珊瑚の下のほうで止まって休憩しているカメさんもいるので、よく探してみるといいですよ！
船で焼いてくれるバーガーもbigで美味しかった！スタッフも楽しい方たちで、このツアーで良かったです。

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＞

Unfortunately, it was a cloudy sky. あいにくの曇り空

Reviewed by: みーたん

It was unfortunately a slightly chilly and cloudy day. We took a shuttle van to the marina where the boats were. We split into two boats and headed out a bit to search for turtles. After that, we took some photos at the sandbar, but unfortunately, due to the weather, it didn't match the image of the bright white sandy beach I had in mind. However, during the snorkeling, we were able to see coral and turtles up close. I definitely want to participate again in the summer.

あいにくの少し肌寒い曇り空の日でした。
送迎のバンで船のあるマリーナへ。
2つの船に分かれて乗船し少し沖へ出て、しばらく亀さん探し。
その後サンドバーで写真を撮ったりしましたが、お天気のせいかイメージしていた青白い砂浜とはいかず残念…。
その後のシュノーケリングでは珊瑚や亀を真近で見ることができました。
次回は夏の時期にぜひ参加してみたいです。

Four Winds Deluxe Molokini Snorkel Tour with Breakfast, Taco Bar Lunch & Drinks

Disappointing

Reviewed by: Jerry

Advertised as a catamaran, may have been in the truest sense...but not a sail or mast on the boat. Unable to go to Molokini due to high seas(6' swells), took us to a site a mile away from the harbor.

I understand the reasoning for not going to the atoll, however, a chance to get off the ship and get a refund were never offered.

All was not lost, hence the reason for not demanding a refund or a rescheduling, the crew was attentive, polite, and amusing. The relocation for snorkeling was quite nice with some beautiful fish.

Ultimately, I would not book again...sorry.

The weather was bad, the water was cold, and it was really chilly. However, I was grateful to be able to borrow a wetsuit! The staff were kind and fun, and it became a really great memory! I took motion sickness medication just in case, but we arrived at the spot in about 15 minutes after the boat departed, so it was totally fine! Also, the food we had on the boat was super delicious! The meat was tender! It was great to see sea turtles up close like that! Next time, I want to try again when the weather is nice!!!!

天気が悪く水が冷たくてとっても寒かったです涙。けれどウェットスーツを貸してもらえたので有り難かったです！スタッフの方も優しくて楽しくて、とてもいい思い出になりました！酔い止めも念のため飲んで行きましたが、船が出発してから１５分くらいで直ぐスポットに到着したので全然大丈夫でした！あと最後船の上で食べるご飯もとーーーーってもおいしかったです！お肉が柔らかかった！こんなに身近で海亀を見れたのもよかったです！今度は天気がいい時にリベンジしたい！！！！

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＞

Heaven and Hell 天国と地獄

Reviewed by: Rieko

I participated with my sixth-grade daughter at the end of March. The staff were fun and really nice, and the lunch they prepared on the boat was delicious. Yukiko took the best family photos for us.

Even though it was my first time snorkeling, thanks to the life jacket and fins, I was able to enjoy it despite not being a strong swimmer. Swimming with the fish and sea turtles was amazing.

From the boat, we were also able to see the rare manta ray cyclone.

However, it was really cold! Unfortunately, the weather was cloudy with strong winds. My wet body from practicing snorkeling at the sandbar got colder and colder on the boat, and even with a towel wrapped around me and a jacket on, I couldn't stop shivering. I wanted to do more snorkeling, but it was too cold, so we cut it short. My daughter ended up with a high fever at night, and we had to rush to the ER, experiencing both heaven and hell.

Even though it was hot in Waikiki, the temperature around the sandbar was quite different, so don't let your guard down.

When the weather is bad, I recommend not getting wet until the actual snorkeling and making sure to bring dry clothes. It might not be necessary if it's hot, but staying wet will continue to sap your body heat even on the bus ride back.

As an additional note, definitely get overseas insurance, and if symptoms are severe (especially for children), let's take them to the ER instead of using Doctor on Call (the worst!).

3/末に小6の娘と一緒に参加しました。スタッフは楽しくてとっても良い人たちだし、船上で作ってくれるランチはおいしかった。ユキコさんが最高の家族写真を撮ってくれました。
初めてのシュノーケリングでも、ライフジャケットとフィンのおかげで、泳ぎが苦手な私でも楽しめました。魚やウミガメと一緒に泳げたのは最高です。
船上からは、珍しいマンタサイクロンも見ることができました。

が、とにかく寒かった！あいにくの曇天と強風。サンドバーでシュノーケリングの練習のため濡れた体が、風をうける船上でどんどんひえて、タオルを巻いても上着を着ても震えがとまらず、本番のシュノーケリングも、もっとしたかったけど寒くて途中で切り上げました。
娘が夜高熱をだして、ＥＲに駆け込む羽目になり、天国と地獄、両方の気分を味わいました。
ワイキキは暑くてもサンドバーの辺りは気温がだいぶ違ったので、油断しないこと。

天気が悪い時は、本番までは体を濡らさないことと、乾いた着替えはちゃんと持つことを勧めます。暑ければ不要なんでしょうが、濡れたままだと帰りのバスでもどんどん体温奪われます。
さらに余談ですが海外保険は絶対入っておくことと、症状が重い時は（特に子供）ドクターオンコール(最悪！）ではなくＥＲにつれていきましょう。

One of the things I want to try in Hawaii!
I highly recommend it to everyone!

It's been decades since I last went into the ocean (laughs). No need to worry, it's all good.
Even if you can't swim well, they will guide you to the points.
Thanks to the attentive care of the staff, I was able to meet the dolphins.

It seems that there was a massive occurrence that day (is that the right expression?)...
Daisuke and the staff said, "Don't expect to see this many dolphins all the time. It's a rare day when this happens a few times a year!"
It was a series of great excitement.
I was thrilled to see the dolphins dancing and even flying above the water's surface (about 2 meters away)!
I wished I could swim freely.
I was also able to hear the dolphins' calls.

Thank you, Daisuke, YUKO, and all the staff for this wonderful encounter.
Thank you very much! m(__)m

ハナウマ湾シュノーケリング　日本語ガイドが海の世界へご案内＜シュノーケルセット／終日＞

Snorkeling at Hanauma Bay with my family. 家族でハナウマ湾シュノーケリング

Reviewed by: ゆめりん

I participated with my elementary school son and high school daughter. Our guide was a foreigner, but their Japanese was excellent. They explained the snorkeling method simply at first, but then the pace picked up quickly, and before I knew it, we were taken into the sea, which was a bit nerve-wracking, but I soon got used to it. Time flew by as we chased countless fish that looked like jewels. I wished I could have played with the fish a bit longer, but I think I'll save that for next time. It was very windy and cold, and although they mentioned drinks would be provided, we didn't receive any... So, it's better to bring your own drinks. We did get some snacks. It was a quick snorkeling tour, with only a brief break due to the cold. Overall, I enjoyed it.

小学生の息子と高校生の娘と3人での参加でした。外国人のガイドさんでしたが、日本語はお上手で。シュノーケリングの方法も最初に簡単ですが、教えてくださいます。途中からピッチが上がり、あっという間に海に連れて行かれ、少々ドキドキしましたが、すぐに海に慣れました。宝石のような無数のお魚を追いかけながら、あっという間に時間がたちました。もう少しお魚と戯れたかったですが、それは今度のお楽しみにしようと思います。風がとても強く寒かったのですが、飲み物が付くといっていたのにいただけず…。なので、飲み物は持参したほうがよいです。スナックは頂けました。寒いので小休憩もそこそこにあっという間のシュノーケリングツアーでした。総じて楽しめました。

Maui to Lanai Snorkel Cruise with Breakfast & Lunch from Lahaina

The crew was awesome.

Reviewed by: Telma Chicas

As we walked up to the harbor the staff was friendly and guided us in the right direction (since there's several different boats departing near each other) Right from the start the captain was very friendly. She introduced herself as well as her staff. As you get on the boat the captain explains to you what stops we will be making and exactly where we will be snorkeling. Unfortunately for us the first stop (right in front of lanai) was too windy so we had to go straight to our second stop. On our way there we saw a baby humpback whale with her mama whale. We stayed at our snorkeling spot for about half an hour to 45 minutes. We saw plenty of fish but unfortunately there were no turtles. Either way the view was very beautiful. On our way back to maui (from lanai) we drove right next to a pod of dolphins and that was probably the highlight of the trip for me. It was amazing seeing all the Dolphins jump out of water and they were very close to us!!! . As we saw the Dolphins and the whales, the captain would give us some info about them and she was very informative. The crew was helpful with making sure everybody was comfortable. They cook hot dogs and hamburgers for lunch and it was pretty yummy. It's a little bit hard to walk on the boat so the crew helped us take our food to the table, they walk around to pick up the trash, they hand out snorkel gear for those who need it, and the captain instructs us on how to dive in and where to snorkel. They also passed out some cookies after everyone ate and those cookies were delicious. They also offered complimentary beer or cocktails for those of age. Overall it was an awesome experience with awesome people. I would definitely recommend it. Some of the people got a little sea sick so I definitely recommend taking something before getting on the boat for those who have sensitive tummies.

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＞

Sandbar is amazing!! サンドバーすごい！！

Reviewed by: Issy

Highly recommended!

The boat is a twin-hulled vessel with dual propulsion and has a restroom. It moves within Kaneohe Bay, protected from waves by a coral reef, so there's hardly any rocking and no worries about seasickness. Participants were evenly split between Japanese and people from other countries.

It's reassuring that there are staff members who can speak Japanese.

I signed up without much expectation, but the sandbar was amazing!!! A vast expanse of white sand. People playing beach volleyball. English conversations, jokes, and laughter echoing around. Boats anchored here and there. Staff playing guitar and singing.

I truly felt like I had come to paradise. I will never forget this experience. I'm really glad I came.

At the turtle spot, I was able to see many turtles.

I was lucky enough to swim with turtles while snorkeling. They allow you to go without a life jacket, so you can enjoy deep dives. There are plenty of fish! About an hour of fun!

In March, the water is cold. It's fine while you're in, but it gets chilly once you get out, so be sure to bring a bath towel and a change of clothes.

The boat has a cabin and quite a bit of space, so you can bring in a fair amount of luggage. There are several staff members on each boat, and there’s always someone where the luggage is, so I felt safe from theft.

There are no showers, but at the end, they rinse you off with a bucket of fresh water.

Soft drinks are available for free. I was also happy to have hot cocoa after getting out of the water. The hamburgers for lunch were delicious.

All the staff were cheerful and made a great impression. They really seemed to enjoy being with the customers, which made it fun!

I met up at the location, but you can park for free at the boat harbor.

Like with any tour, changing from swimwear to clothes is done in the restroom. However, those using the shuttle can ride the bus in their swimwear.

Yuki, the Japanese staff member, was very efficient, humorous, and took great care of us.

I highly recommend this tour.

ハナウマ湾シュノーケリング　日本語ガイドが海の世界へご案内＜シュノーケルセット／終日＞

Feeling like a mermaid! 気分はマーメイド！

Reviewed by: おこめ

I wanted to see wild sea turtles, so I joined this tour.

The person who came to pick me up was a bit older. I thought he was the driver, but he turned out to be the guide! (laughs)

When we entered the water, I was worried about my belongings, but they had a large lockable box ready for us, which was further secured with a chain to a palm tree! (However, the box isn't very big, so it's best to keep your personal items to a minimum.) Since it locks, you can store your camera and other things safely. Even if you don't have your own camera, the guide will take pictures for you and upload them to Facebook later, so no worries!

They taught us how to breathe with the snorkel and how to put on the fins before we entered the water. You'll get used to the breathing technique quickly.

The underwater world that unfolded before my eyes was simply breathtaking.

At first, it was great, but we kept swimming further out. As we did, the water gradually became colder.

I got so cold that I couldn't stop shivering, and it was freezing. When I finally saw the sea turtles, I was half happy and half desperate from the cold! (laughs)

It might have been because it was still morning, but be cautious. Especially for those who are slim, it's something to watch out for. I recommend renting a wetsuit.

But it was truly beautiful. A memory for a lifetime! (^^)

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＞

The sandbar was beautiful. サンドバー、きれいでした。

Reviewed by: にしかわ

I researched the dates of high and low tides for the sandbar in advance on the internet and signed up for a morning tour on the day with the lowest tide during my stay in Hawaii. As a result, I was able to walk on the completely exposed sandbar. For those who are considering signing up for this tour, I highly recommend checking the dates of high and low tides beforehand.

However, even when the sandbar is completely exposed, there are designated spots where the boat can approach, and it stops a little away from the sandbar. Everyone has to get off the boat and walk a short distance in the water, which is up to waist-deep. We had an elderly grandmother with us who had no intention of getting in the water, including snorkeling, but she didn't know this and ended up participating in her underwear. She had to quickly take it off and walk in the still cold seawater up to her waist in late March, which was quite confusing for her.

Since we had an elderly grandmother and two elementary school children with no snorkeling experience, our whole family did not participate in snorkeling. However, if you don’t snorkel, you will have to wait on the boat for a while, which can be a bit boring. For those who are unsure about snorkeling, I recommend going for it. I think it would make the tour much more enjoyable.

The snorkeling spot seemed to have a lot of fish, and the participants appeared to be having a great time. There were also small fish, sea turtles, and pufferfish around the boat that we could see.

It’s best to wear your swimsuit beforehand, and the return bus has towels laid out on the seats, so you can ride back to the hotel in your swimsuit. It would have been helpful to know this information in advance, but I wasn't sure how to ask about it through VELTRA, so I was uncertain until just before departure whether to bring a change of clothes. I thought it might have been better to book the tour through HIS instead.

インターネットで事前にサンドバーの満潮干潮の日にちを調べて、ハワイ滞在中に一番干潮になる日の午前のツアーに申し込みました。なので、完全に水が引いているサンドバーを散歩することができました。これからこのツアーに申し込まれる方は、ぜひサンドバーの満潮干潮の日にちを下調べしてから、申し込まれるといいですよ。
ただ、サンドバーは完全に水が引けている時でさえも、船は近づける場所が決まっていて、サンドバーから少し離れたところに止まり、みんな船から降りて水の中を少しだけ歩いていくのですが、船を降りるところは腰まで水に浸かります。
うちは高齢のおばあちゃんがいて、シュノーケルをはじめとして水に入る気が全くなかったのですが、それを知らなかったため、下着を付けて参加していて、急遽脱がなくてはいけなくなり、3月下旬でまだ冷たい海水に腰まで浸かりながら歩かなければいけなかったので、戸惑わせてしまいました。
高齢のおばあちゃんと、シュノーケル経験がない小学生２人がいたため、シュノーケルは家族全員参加しませんでしたが、シュノーケルをしないと船の上でしばらく待っていることになるので少しつまらなかったです。シュノーケルをどうしようかと迷っている方は、思い切ってなさった方がいいです。そのほうがずっとずっと楽しめるツアーになると思います。
シュノーケルの場所は魚がたくさんいるみたいで、参加されて方々は楽しいようでした。一応、船の周囲にも、小さな魚たちや、ウミガメ、フグがやってきて見ることができました。
水着は事前に着用して参加し、帰りのバスも座席にバスタオルが敷いてあり、水着のまま乗り込んでホテルまで帰ることができます。こうした情報が、事前に知れるとよかったのですが、VELTRAさんを通してだとどういう風に聞くのか分からなかったので、着替えを持っていくのかどうかと出発直前まで悩みました。ＨＩＳ経由でもツアー申込ができたので、そうすればよかったかなと思いました。

A bit disappointing. ちょっと期待外れ

Reviewed by: がっかりさん

I was disappointed because I had only seen the sea turtles once, despite reading experiences where people encountered them multiple times. Since we had to wear life jackets, I couldn't dive in, and I just watched them swim by, which felt anticlimactic.

It depends on the weather and the experience of the guide, so I understand that it's not always possible, but I had hoped to see them for a longer time. I think those who are not used to snorkeling might have seen even less.

Regarding the tip, I hadn't made any special requests, and there was no particular service provided, yet I was quite forcefully asked for a tip. I reluctantly paid, but it was the first time I had been asked for a tip on an optional tour. I was not satisfied with that.

　　【何回もいるかに会えました】の体験談を読んでいたためか、一度しか見られなかったので、残念でした。ライフジャケットを着用しなければならなかったので、潜ってみることも出来ず、海の中を通り過ぎていくのを見ただけで、あっけなく終わってしまいました。
　　当日の気候や、引率の方の経験に左右されるので、仕方のないことですが、もっとゆっくり見ていられると期待していました。シュノーケリングに慣れていない方は、もっと見られなかったと思います。
　　それからチップに関してですが、、特別なお願いもしていませんでしたし、対応もされてなかったのですが、チップをかなり強引に求められました。仕方なく払いましたが、オプショナルツアーで、チップを求められたのは、初めてです。納得できませんでした。

カアナパリ沖　セーリング＆シュノーケリングツアー ＜英語ガイド／食事・アルコール2杯付き＞

First experience with Snuba ➕ Dolphins and whales are also very welcome! 初体験 スヌーバ➕ イルカも鯨も大歓迎！

Reviewed by: Noel

I participated with my 8-year-old daughter. Since diving was still too much for her, we opted for snuba. My daughter dove into the sea without a care in the world and seemed very satisfied. Unfortunately, the water temperature was low, so it was a bit chilly after we got out, but the kind service from the staff made us forget the cold. There was more than enough food for breakfast and lunch, and the attentive service took care of everything while we just sat there.

Additionally, we were pleasantly surprised to see a whale, and we encountered countless dolphins, with the added bonus of them jumping at the front of the boat. We were blessed with good weather, and everything was absolutely satisfying.

8歳の娘をつれて参加です。ダイビングはまだ無理なのでスヌーバを。私たちの心配も他所に ぐんぐん海へ潜っていった娘は 大満足だったようです。水温は生憎低かったので上がった後少し寒かったのですが、寒さを忘れさせてくれるようなスタッフの優しいサービス。食事も朝、昼十分すぎるほどありましたし、また座っているだけで全て賄ってくださる行き届いたサービス
加えて、期待してなかった鯨が見られたり
イルカは数えきれないほど出逢え、かつ船の先頭をジャンプのサービス。
お天気にも恵まれ、全てが大満足でした

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＞

The weather was a gamble, but I wished the staff had tried a little harder. 天気は賭け、だけどスタッフもう少しがんばってほしかった、、

Reviewed by: こまき

Last time, the weather was clear and the water was shallow, just like the application page, but this time it was cloudy and cold, with deep water, which was far from the expected image. I was disappointed by the low energy of the staff and their unwillingness to take us to the shallowest area.

前回は快晴で水も浅く、正に申込ページのようでしたが、今回は曇りで寒く、水も深くイメージとはかけ離れた状況。。
それ以上にスタッフのテンションの低さと一番浅いところまでも連れて行ってくれない対応にがっかりしました。

イルカ中学　野生のイルカ＆ウミガメシュノーケリングクルーズ　高速ボートでイルカ遭遇率アップ！＜少人数制／ワイキキ＆コオリナ送迎可／日本語／ランチ付き＞

It's moving! 感動です★

Reviewed by: YOSHI

I have seen wild dolphins several times before, but this was the most exciting experience yet. First of all, I was amazed by the number of dolphins! There must have been at least 100 (and that's not an exaggeration). I was really glad to see so many dolphins. The staff members were also a fun group. During the snorkeling time, I encountered a turtle. I wished I could have stayed in the ocean even longer.

これまで野生のイルカは何度か見ましたが、今までで1番興奮しました。
まず、イルカの数にビックリ‼100頭はいたでしょうか？（大袈裟ではないです）
あんなに大勢のイルカを見れて本当に良かったです。
スタッフの方々も楽しいメンバーでした。
シュノーケルの時間も、亀に出会えました。
もっともっと海に居たかったです。

ハナウマ湾シュノーケリング　日本語ガイドが海の世界へご案内＜シュノーケルセット／終日＞

It was my first time snorkeling, and I had a great time! 初めてのシュノーケルですが楽しめました！

Reviewed by: satomiii

I was a bit anxious since it was my first time snorkeling, but I had a lot of fun.
There were three of us participating, and there was also a parent-child duo of a similar age.
One thing to note is that you will be swimming quite a bit, so if you can't swim, you can drop out at any time, so don't push yourself.
I used to swim, so I was fine swimming for over an hour and a half, but only I and one child from another parent-child duo were able to swim until the end, and everyone else was exhausted.

We saw a lot of sea turtles!

初めてのシュノーケルなので出来るのか不安でしたがとても楽しかったです。
私たちは３人での参加で他には同年代の親子が参加されていました。
ひとつ注意が必要なのは結構泳ぐことになるので、泳げない方は途中で離脱が出来るので無理をしないことです。
私は水泳をしていたので１時間３０分以上泳いでも大丈夫でしたが、私ともう一人の親子の子の方しか最後まで泳ぎきることできず、みなさんぐったりしていました。

ウミガメ沢山見れましたよ！

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＞

The staff were great. スタッフさん達がよかったです

Reviewed by: ひっかりん

I participated in the morning. On the day I joined, the sandbar had water depth up to my knees, and the sandbar was not visible. It was quite cold, and I shivered. It's definitely better to wear a rash guard or something similar. Once you get into the water for snorkeling, you get used to the cold. The fish are quite deep down, so they can be a bit hard to see. However, there are plenty of coral reefs, and you can see some fish. When you dive and come back up to the boat, it gets cold again, so I recommend bringing a larger bath towel. Anyway, all the staff here are very energetic and friendly! I would love to participate again next time!

午前に参加しました。参加した日のサンドバーは水深がヒザぐらいまであって、サンドバーは見えなかったです。結構寒くて震えました。ラッシュガードなど必ず着た方がいいです。シュノーケリングで水中に入ってると、冷たさは慣れてきます。魚はかなり下の方にいるので少し見えにくいです。でもサンゴ礁がいっぱいでそれなりに魚も見れます。潜って船上に上がるとまた寒いので大きめのバスタオルを持参することおススメです。とにかくこちらのスタッフさんは皆さんとても元気で感じのいいスタッフさんばかりです！また次回参加したいです！

Dolphins and sea turtles too! イルカもウミガメも！

Reviewed by: tell

I was able to see dolphins, sea turtles, and even whales from a distance. Right after departing, we discovered a group of dolphins and were able to swim close to over 50 of them. I was also able to swim within touching distance of sea turtles.

The staff and other participants were friendly, making for a very enjoyable experience. Although there were some engine troubles along the way, the staff's quick thinking allowed us to enjoy that as well. Since it was the end of February and the water was cold, I borrowed a wetsuit, but I thought a rash guard might have been sufficient.

I'm glad I participated.

イルカもウミガメも、そして遠くからですがクジラも見ることができました。
出港してすぐの浅瀬でイルカのグループを発見し、５０頭以上と間近で泳ぐことができました。
ウミガメにも触れそうな距離で泳ぐことができました。

スタッフの方も他の参加者もフレンドリーでとても楽しく過ごすことができました。
途中エンジントラブルがあったりしましたが、スタッフの方の臨機応変な対応でそれすら楽しむことができました。
２月の終わりで水が冷たいとのことでしたので、ウェットスーツを借りましたが、ラッシュガードなどでもよかったかな〜と思いました。

参加してよかったと思います。

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＞

It was the best ocean. サイコーの海でした

Reviewed by: まりこ

I was told by the travel agency to book the Heaven's Sea tour early, but I completely forgot, and the tour was fully booked. So, I used Veltra.

There were a lot of tour guests on a large bus, just like those I often see in Japan. I thought it might be hard to relax with so many people, but once we got to the sea, I was able to enjoy it all to myself.

Until we reached the port, a cheerful guide provided explanations in English. After that, we took a 10-minute boat ride to the sandbar. First, we walked in the shallow water and played beach volleyball. The guide took photos of us in various poses, which became great memories.

We moved to a spot where we could see turtles and snorkeled around some deeper coral. I was thrilled to swim alongside sea turtles, which I never expected to do. The hamburgers for lunch were freshly grilled on a BBQ set on the boat, and they were the best!

天国の海ツアー、早めに予約してくださいね、と旅行会社の方に言われていたのですが、すっかり忘れていて旅行会社でのツアーは満席。
そこで、veltraを利用しました。
日本でもよく見る大型のバス一杯のツアー客でした。
こんなにいたら、のんびりできないのでは…？なんて思いましたが、いざ海にいってみたら、充分独り占めできました。
港に着くまで、陽気なガイドさんが説明をしてくれます(英語)
そこから、船に10分ほどのって、サンドバーへ向かいました。
まずは、浅いところで、歩いたり、ビーチバレーをしました。そこで、ガイドの方に写真を撮っていただいたのですが、何通りものポーズでとっていただき、いい思い出になりました。
亀を見ながら場所を移動し、少し深い珊瑚の周りで、シュノーケルをしました。
海ガメと一緒に泳げるとは思わなかったので、感激しました。
お昼のハンバーガーも、船のうえのBBQセットで焼きたてで、最高でした！

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＞

I was able to meet a family of whales!! 鯨の家族にも会えた！！

Reviewed by: J.O

We set sail on the Zodiac and within less than 20 minutes, we unexpectedly encountered a family of whales. It was an astonishing surprise when a baby whale swam beneath the boat, and both the participants and the guide were thrilled. We could even hear their calls through the underwater microphone. After playing with the whales for about 30 minutes, we moved the boat forward for about 10 minutes and encountered another family of whales. It was an unexpected experience. After finishing snorkeling in the beautiful sea with Captain Cook's monument, a large pod of dolphins appeared, swimming around the boat, and we lost track of time as we all cheered together. It’s rare to have such encounters with whales and dolphins, but we had an unexpected experience, making it a wonderful tour.

ソディアック号で出港して20分足らずで何と鯨の家族とバッタリ遭遇。子鯨がボートの下で泳ぐというビックリするようなハプニングで参加者はじめガイドさんも大興奮。水中マイクで鳴き声まで聞けました。30分程鯨と遊んでから10分ほどボートを進めると別な鯨の家族と遭遇。思いがけない体験ができました。キャプテンクックのモニュメントがある綺麗な海でのシュノーケリングを終えると今度はイルカの大群が現れボートの周辺を泳ぎ、時を忘れて皆で歓声を上げました。今回ほど鯨やイルカと会えることは珍しいとのことですが、思いかけない体験ができ、素晴らしいツアーになりました。
