Ocean Encounters Manta Ray Snorkel Tour - Sunset & Moonlight Cruise from Kona

Saw A Manta Ray!

Reviewed by: Erin

You can't help mother nature -- we only saw one manta ray during our tour and the water was really choppy. The captain and crew were friendly, but had us wait for some other people that didn't show. I also don't feel they connected with us as a group, which was unfortunate.

Na Pali Coast Explorer Ocean Rafting Snorkel Tour (from Kikiaola Harbor)

Do the Na Pali Coast, but do it with someone else

Reviewed by: Beleu

Our trip was from Kikialoa Harbor.

While some of the crew was nice, the captain was not.
We picked that operator because the boat had a Canopy that would have protected our parents from the sun as they were no interested in snorkeling, just the boat ride. However the boat was being worked on, canopy was not there and towards the end of the trip had mechanical issues.

On the day we show up, the weather was too bad for the Na Pali Coast, so we had the option to do the south shore instead. We asked to do the South shore, but the captain was hoping we could cancel and reschedule because he would rather go fishing that day. We then rescheduled for the next day as while not guaranteed, weather was looking much better, so he said.

Next day, same deal, weather was to bad for the Na Pali Coast, so we went on the South Shore as the Captain had no fishing plan that day.
We did see Turtles, Whales and Dolphin but the snorkeling spot was bad, we saw a couple gray fish and that was about it. Snorkeling 30 feet of the shore on our hotel beach on Poipu offered more species and colors that this trip.

Lunch didn't make it back from anything, each 12" Subway sub was to be split by 4 people and they were all the same with olives, which is a bad choice of topping for a group.

Once day I will do the Na Pali, but I will not use that the explorer, no Na Pali and No snorkling

モロキニ島シュノーケリングクルーズ ＜朝・昼食付／現地集合＞

Motion sickness medication and a wetsuit are essential. 酔い止めとウエットスーツは必須

Reviewed by: ちょっぷ

We participated as a couple on November 20, 2014. There were only one other Japanese couple besides us, but the Japanese staff member Takako was very attentive. She provided careful assistance with everything from the boarding process, snorkeling gear rental, diving into the sea, to the meals. The water clarity was amazing, and you could easily see the seabed. There weren't many fish, but I think it was sufficient for those who haven't experienced scuba diving. We were also able to see sea turtles. At Black Rock, we could only see "floating" turtles, but here we saw "swimming" turtles. The meal was delicious hamburgers, and beer and Mai Tais were all-you-can-drink. On the way back, we also enjoyed some cookies. It was a wonderful tour, so I highly recommend it to those who haven't experienced it yet.

For those participating in the tour, I think it's important to keep the following points in mind. It's better to have motion sickness medication. Both my spouse and I got seasick... I underestimated it because there weren't many mentions of seasickness in other reviews. Next, it's better to bring or rent a wetsuit. Honestly, the sea is cold. Having a wetsuit makes it much warmer. You can borrow goggles and fins when you receive them (I think it was $10), so it's okay if you don't bring your own. Also, I think there are some jellyfish (we both got stung), so it could serve as protection.

Regarding transportation, it was fine. I felt that many other tours had local meet-ups, but this tour provided proper pick-up (we stayed at the Westin). The other participants were a couple from America and France.

Finally, my experience: the foreign participants were very kind, and I had a lot of fun with them, for which I am very grateful. They helped me with translation when boarding (from difficult long English sentences to short broken English). They also took care of me when I got seasick... I don't think you can have such experiences on a tour with only Japanese participants. If you're coming to Maui, I think such experiences are great.

2014/11/20に夫婦で参加しました。
日本人は私たちともう一組しかいませんでしたが、日本人スタッフのタカコさんが大変気を配って下さいました。
船の乗船手続き、シュノーケルセットの貸し出し、海へのダイブ、食事まで、全てに丁寧な対応をしてくれました。
海の透明度は素晴らしく、楽勝で海底が見えます。
魚はそれほど多くはいませんでしたが、スキューバ体験していない方にとっては十分だと思います。
ウミガメも見ることができました。
ブラックロックでは「浮いている」亀しか見ることができませんでしたが、ここでは「泳いでいる」亀を見ることができました。
食事もおいしいハンバーガーで、ビールとマイタイは飲み放題でした。
帰り道ではクッキーのつまみも頂きました。
素晴らしいツアーですので、未体験の方にはぜひおすすめです。

これからツアーに参加する方は以下の点に注意した方がいいと思います。
酔い止めの薬はあった方が良いと思います。夫婦で船酔いになりました・・・。
他の方の書き込みであまり船酔いについて書いてなかったのでナメでました。
次に、ウエットスーツは持参かレンタルした方が良いです。
正直、海が冷たいです。ウエットスーツがあるとかなり暖かくなるので。
ゴーグル、フィンを支給されるときに一緒に借りれるので（10ドルだったかな）持参していなくても大丈夫です。
またクラゲが多少いると思いますので（夫婦で刺されました）防護服代わりにもなるかと思います。
送迎についてですが、大丈夫です。
他のツアーでは現地集合が多いように感じましたが、こちらのツアーはきっちり送迎してもらえました（宿泊はウエスティン）。
なお同乗した方はアメリカ、フランスの夫妻でした。

最後に体験談です。同乗した外国の方々が大変優しく、ご一緒してとても楽しく、感謝感激でした。
乗船の際に通訳してもらいました（難しい長文英語から短い片言英語に）。
船酔いした時に介抱してもらいました・・・。
日本人ばかりのツアーではこういった体験はできないと思います。
せっかくマウイに来たのであればこういった体験も良いのではないでしょうか。

As others have shared, there were mostly black fish, but it was great to see the turtles up close. It was cloudy and drizzling, so I had a towel and something to wear over me, but it was still cold in the sea and on the boat. When we went further out, the sun came out and it got warmer, but the cruising was cold and I couldn't feel any elegance... I think it would have been much better if it had been sunny.☆

I recommend a well-equipped tour. 設備の整ったツアーでお勧め

Reviewed by: ぴーす

The tour is mainly in English with many non-Japanese participants, but staff member Takako provides explanations in Japanese, which is reassuring. Breakfast is light with cakes, sweet bread, and fruits, but there are plenty of drinks available, and lunch seemed delicious (I couldn't eat due to seasickness!). You can choose one item from several options like hamburgers and hot dogs. Drinks like cola and beer are plentiful. There are separate restrooms for men and women. There are also three types of floatation devices, which is comforting. The boat is fairly large, but three Japanese participants turned green from seasickness, so it might be a good idea to take medication beforehand. Overall, it was very good, but one downside was that the docking location was at the far end on the left side of the harbor, and there was no explanation, so I had to search around. During busy times, the parking lot is at the aquarium above the harbor. In December, the weather seems to be bad, and we couldn't go to Molokini due to strong winds, so we went to a different spot, but everyone seemed to have a good time.

日本人以外が多く、英語が主のツアーですが、スタッフのタカコさんが日本語で丁寧に説明してくれるので安心です。朝食はケーキや甘いパンとフルーツで軽くですが、飲物は十分出してくれますし、ランチは美味しかったようです。（私は船酔いで食べられず！）
ハンバーガー、ホットドック等、数種類から１つ選びます。飲物はコーラ、ビール等十分にもらえます。トイレは男女別に１つづつあり。浮具も３種類あり、安心です。まずまず大きい舟ですが、日本人は３人船酔いで青い顔になりましたので、薬飲んで行ったほうがいいかも。とても良かったのですが、１つ難点としては、舟の停泊場所がハーバーの左手一番奥で、説明がなかったので探し回りました。混み合う時は駐車場はハーバーの上にある水族館のところを使います。１２月は天気が悪いようで、モロキニは強風で行けず、別のポイントとなりましたが、みなさん楽しそうでした。

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＞

I was thrilled by the large pod of dolphins! イルカの大群に感激！

Reviewed by: マハロ☆

We visited Hawaii for our honeymoon and signed up for this tour to create wonderful memories.

We boarded the bus at 6 AM while it was still dark. Inside the bus, our guide Minako kindly explained the highlights of Oahu, the types of dolphins, precautions, and how to use the equipment. For those prone to motion sickness, they provided ginger tablets. They also inquired about renting wetsuits. The rental fee is $10, but I think it's a good idea to rent one for comfort and safety.

After an hour, we finally began boarding to meet the dolphins! The weather was good on the day we participated, but the wind was strong, and we were heading to a different spot than usual.

With some anxiety about whether we would see any dolphins, we set off on our dolphin search! As we scanned the area, we heard our guide shout, "There they are!!" and we all quickly put on our fins and entered the water. We approached quietly to avoid splashing and scaring the dolphins away. Struggling with the unfamiliar fins, we couldn't see them up close this time… and we got back on the boat.

After a few minutes of moving, we encountered a large group of dolphins again! Waiting for the signal, we entered the water. It was hard to keep up, and I thought we might miss them again, but then we heard our guide say, "Look down!" When I looked down, I saw a graceful school of dolphins swimming below! From then on, we were able to swim alongside the dolphins up close, and it was truly moving.

Swimming with the dolphins marked the end of our first hour. Next, we moved to encounter turtles (the second hour). During the move, we encountered several groups of dolphins, which was a lot of fun.

When we arrived at the spot, everyone snorkeled around, searching in their own way. There were many small fish swimming around, and while we were enjoying the search, suddenly a turtle appeared right in front of us! It was of medium size, but very cute, and I was moved to see it up close, almost within reach.

The staff and guides were all very friendly, making the tour enjoyable. On the way back on the bus, we could purchase photos taken by the photographer, so we could relax and fully enjoy the experience without worrying about taking pictures ourselves.

I participated in several tours, but this was the most memorable one during our trip! I highly recommend it for anyone traveling to Hawaii.

小さい魚も沢山泳いでいて、楽しみながらさがしていると、突然目の前に亀先生が！
中位の大きさでしたが、とても可愛いく、手で触れそうな程近くで見る事が出来て感動しました。

I participated in a morning-only tour! Both my friend and I were not good at diving, so we were nervous until the day of the tour. We were able to see several natural sea turtles from the boat, which got us excited. Even without snorkeling, we could play around in the nearby shallow waters, and I’m really glad we joined! I’m very satisfied. Above all, the crew members were kind and fun! I would love to participate again.

午前中のみのツアーに参加しました！友人も私も潜るのは苦手でしたので、当日までドキドキしていました。船上から天然のウミガメを何匹も見ることが出来、テンションがあがり、シュノーケリングをしなくても、近くの浅瀬で2人でチャプチャプ遊ぶことが出来、参加して良かったです！大満足です。なんといっても、クルーの方々が親切でかつ楽しかったです！また参加したいです。

We went out to the middle of the sea on a small boat and were able to walk in the shallow water. There was a Japanese guide, so we enjoyed listening to explanations in Japanese. For lunch, we had hamburgers made by the captain, which we assembled ourselves with bread and vegetables, along with boiled beans.

Reviewed by: yuri

I went on the 30th of December. My evaluation is... well, it's hard to say. The sandbar had beautiful scenery and the sea was stunning, but the lunch BBQ was not what I expected. Contrary to my expectations, it was just one hamburger. At this price, that's too high.

During the trip, it started to rain, and everyone had to run to the bus, which was far away. It was unfortunate for those with children. I wish the bus could come closer.

This tour includes tips, but when getting off the boat, they still asked for tips voluntarily, which left me feeling unsatisfied with the tour overall. However, I was satisfied with the sandbar itself.

年末の30日に行きました。評価は・・ん－なんとも。
サンドバーは景色も海も綺麗ですばらしかったのですが、お昼ＢＢＱランチではありません。
予想とは違って、ハンバーガー1個でした。このお値段では高いです。
途中、雨が降ってしまいバスまで皆走って行きましたが、そのバスが遠く子供さん連れの方などお気の毒でした。もっと近くまで来てくれればいいのに。
このツアーはチップも込みなのですが、船を降りるとき任意でチップも要求されあまり満足できないツアーでしたね。サンドバー自体は満足です。

Beautiful sandbar. きれいなサンドバー

Reviewed by: タカちゃん

On December 30th, I participated with my family. We joined to see the sandbar, but on the day of the event, the seawater was up to our knees. The weather was sunny then cloudy, but it was definitely cold. I recommend renting a wetsuit at the sandbar (it's free). Many people were shivering in just their swim trunks.

After that, we started snorkeling following a quite thorough lecture. I've snorkeled many times, but the safety management was well organized, which made me feel secure. We were able to see sea turtles. Personally, I had seen sea turtles for three consecutive days, so I wasn't as moved by it this time.

The food afterward was delicious. I had researched the tide schedule for the sandbar in Japan and found out that the afternoon of the day we participated (I joined in the morning) was when the tide would be the lowest. However, it rained heavily that afternoon, and the wind was strong, so we couldn't really fight against the weather.

The staff were very kind, and it was a satisfying experience. Next time, I would like to try the sandbar again when the tide is low. Thank you, everyone.

サンドバーが見たくて参加しましたが当日は膝上あたりまで海水がありました。
天候は晴れのち曇りといった感じでしたが、さすがに寒い。

その後にシュノーケリング、結構十分すぎるくらいのレクチャーの後にスタートです。
何度もシュノーケリングはしていますが、安全性の管理はキチンとしており、安心でした。
ウミガメも見れました。　ただ個人的には、３日連続ウミガメを見ていたので感動は少なかったですが・・
その後のご飯もおいしかったです。
日本でサンドバーの潮の満ち引きを調べて参加したのですが、本当は私たちの参加した日の午後（私は午前中参加）が一番潮が引くとの事でした。
ただその日の午後は大雨で、さらに風が強かったので、なかなか天候には逆らえません。

Four days ago, my family graduated from Dolphin Junior High. I had heard that the sea was very cold, so I wore a rash guard. We gathered early in the morning, around 6 AM, and after about an hour on the bus, we arrived at the port. We also borrowed wetsuits and set off. Within just 5 to 10 minutes on the boat, we spotted the dolphins.

Under the guidance of the class representative, we started snorkeling and quickly encountered dozens of dolphins. It was so exciting to see baby dolphins as well. I couldn't believe how many dolphins we were able to see...

In the second hour, we also saw many sea turtles. When they came up for air, I could reach out and almost touch them (though of course, I didn't).

At the end, we were even able to see a whale from the boat. It was such an exhilarating experience. The class representative's explanations were interesting, and I purchased a DVD of the photos taken for $50, which I don't think is expensive at all. The quality is beautiful, and it's hard to capture those moments on my own.

We arrived at the hotel by lunchtime, so while waking up early was tough, we made great use of our time. I highly recommend it. My family of three is still buzzing with excitement. Next time, we're aiming for Dolphin University!

It's super cute and just barely fits! お腹スレスレでめちゃかわいい

Reviewed by: ゆっきー

I had been very interested in this tour after seeing its popularity and reviews. The price was a bit high, so I hesitated, but when I checked again at the last minute, I found out they were offering a promotion for one person free, so I decided to sign up!

I was worried, "Isn't the sea cold in December?" Even after reading reviews, I wasn't sure, so I thought I would write about my experience this time!

During the day, it was warm enough to sweat under the strong sunlight. I wondered if it would be okay at night, but it was really cold due to the strong winds. The organizer mentioned, "Today the wind is particularly strong."

I read that those who are prone to seasickness should take motion sickness medication, so I took some. I was really anxious, so instead of the recommended two pills, I took three!

■ One hour from the meeting time to departure
■ One hour from departure to the snorkeling spot
There wasn't any specific information about how long we would wait. I would have liked to know what time we were departing. Also, the driver was not Japanese, so all the instructions along the way were in English.

The wind was cold, the boat rocked a lot, and the height differences were extreme. Without the motion sickness medication, I think I would have been 120% seasick!!

Many people were vomiting on the way there...

When we arrived at the site and the boat stopped, it rocked even more, making it difficult to stand.

Initially, I didn't feel much cold in the water. We all held onto a square fence while snorkeling! The manta rays were incredibly friendly, doing backflips just above us! It was amazing to see their mouths wide open! I even experienced the thrill of feeling like I might get sucked in! Their big, round eyes were so cute! I brought an underwater camera, but it was too dark to capture anything... It's a shame I can't upload any photos, but the experience is firmly etched in my memory!

I think we were in the water for quite a long time! However, after a while, it did get cold. One person who was holding onto the same fence started to feel unwell and had to get out.

Based on information from the reception at our accommodation, I heard it could get "really cold," so I brought an ultra-light down jacket.

After getting back on the boat, I changed into a T-shirt and my ultra-light down jacket in the restroom. During that time, my partner also got sick. He said he felt nauseous watching the manta rays spinning around.

It seems that almost all the Japanese participants were affected. The girl next to me was crying and saying, "I want to go home" while vomiting. If you're participating in the winter season, don't forget to bring warm clothing! I also think motion sickness medication is essential!

P.S. If you're lucky, you might encounter dolphins.

I think it would be amazing to participate on a day with good weather! We also want to join again next time when it's warm and there’s no wind!

【参加日⇒2014．12．27】

人気度やクチコミを見て、とても気になっていたツアーでした。
金額が張るので悩んでいたのですが、ぎりぎりにもう一度覗いたら、モニターがやってて1人分無料になるとのことで申し込みを決意しました(^^)

「12月の海って寒くないのか？」と心配していました。クチコミを見ても、よく分からなかったので、私はこの度書こうと思います！

日中は日焼けするほどの日差しで汗ばむ気温です。夜も平気なのかな？と思ったら、風が強く心底寒かったですw
開催者曰く、「今日は特別風が強い」とのことでした。

船酔い等心配な方は酔い止めをと書いてあったので、飲んで行きました。すごく不安だったので、２錠のところを３錠飲みました(*>_<)

■集合時間から出発まで１時間
■出発からシュノーケリングの場所まで１時間
どれくらい待つとかのお知らせは特にありませんでした。何時発なのか、一言欲しかったです。
また、途中の注意事項等も運転手の方が日本人ではないからか英語のみです。

風が冷たく、船もものすごく揺れ、高低差が半端なかったです。
酔い止めがなければ、１２０％酔っていたと思います！！

行きの船から嘔吐している人多数・・・


現地について、船を止めると、もっと船が揺れ、立つのが困難な程でした。

海中は、はじめはさほど寒さを感じません。
四角い柵のようなものをみんなで持ってシュノーケリングをしました！
マンタはすごく人懐こいのか、お腹すれすれに背面ターンしてくれます！
口の中まで丸見えで感動します！吸い込まれるんじゃないかという迫力も体験できました！！
つぶらな瞳がとてもキュートでしたo(^-^)o
水中カメラを持っていったのですが、真っ暗で何も写っていませんでした…何がいけなかったのだろう…写真をアップできないのは残念ですが、脳裏にしっかり焼きついています♪

結構長い時間海にいたと思います！
しかし、やはり長時間入水していると寒くなってきます。
同じ柵に捕まっていた方が具合が悪くなり、上がることになりました。

宿泊先の受付の方の情報で、「本当に寒い」という事を伺ったので、ウルトラライトダウンを持参しました。

船に上がってから、お手洗いで上半身を脱ぎ、Tシャツとウルトラライトダウンに着替えました。
その間に、彼も吐いていました(^_^;)
マンタがくるくる回転するのを見て酔ってしまったそうです。

日本人？はほぼ全滅だったそうです。
隣の女の子も「早く帰りたい」と泣きながら吐いていました。
冬の季節に参加する際は、防寒グッズを忘れずに☆彡
また、酔い止めも必須だと思います！


P.S.運が良いと、イルカに出会えるそうです。

天気の良い時に参加すれば最高だと思います！
私たちも次は風がなく暖かい時期に参加したいとおもいますW

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＞

A 360-degree panoramic view. 360度の大パノラマ。

Reviewed by: ミルーク

Unfortunately, it was high tide instead of low tide, but it was still very moving. I was able to see sea turtles up close.

However, it was really cold due to the strong wind, so I recommend bringing something to keep warm, like a windbreaker in addition to a bath towel.

残念ながら干潮ではなく満潮時だったのですが、それでもすごく感動でした。
ウミガメも近くで見ることができました。

ただ風が強くて本当に寒かったので、バスタオルの他にウインドブレーカーなど、暖をとれるものを持って行くことをオススメします。

The restroom is fine. トイレは問題なし

Reviewed by: いずきん

The warning that the ship might sway didn't apply at all due to the great weather. I wasn't sure what the restroom situation was like, but there was one at the port before departure, and on the sea, there was one on the ship. From there, we could start our walks, meals, and snorkeling, so there was nothing to worry about.

船が揺れるかもしれない、という注意書きは当てはまらない程良い天気。
トイレがどうなっているのか良く分からなかったが、出港前には港にあったし、
海上では船に1箇所あり、ここを起点に散歩・食事・シュノーケルを行うので何も心配する事がなかった。

ウミガメシュノーケリング　ホロカイ・カタマラン号　高確率でウミガメに会えるタートルキャニオンへ！ソフトドリンク&スナック付き＜3時間／英語／ワイキキホテル発＞

Snorkeling and Sailing by Waikiki Rigger Catamaran シュノーケル•セーリングbyワイキキリガー・カタマラン号

Reviewed by: Yoko

It was just my daughter and me participating. We were the only Japanese people there. It was not a problem that I didn't understand much English. I was looking for snorkeling without the need to wear a life jacket, so I could dive freely, and the staff was nearby. There were also buoy-like floaties, which should provide reassurance for those who are not confident swimmers. If you're feeling anxious, relaxing on the boat might be a good option as well. The staff also joined us in snorkeling and made it enjoyable. The sailing after snorkeling was fantastic. The view of Waikiki from the sea was a luxurious experience that is hard to come by. I will definitely participate again next time.

娘と二人での参加でした。日本人は私達だけでした。英語があまり理解出来なくても問題はありませんでした。ライフジャケットを着なくても良いシュノーケルを探していましたので、自由に潜れますし、スタッフも近くにいてくれますし、棒のような浮き輪もありますので、泳ぎに自信のない方にも安心なのではないでしょうか。もし不安であれば、船上でゆっくりくつろぐのも良いのでは…。スタッフの方も一緒に潜り楽しませてくれました。シュノーケルの後のセーリングも最高でした。海から眺めるワイキキ、
なかなか体験できない贅沢な時間でした。次回も是非参加します。

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＞

The participation fee was reasonable, and I was very satisfied with snorkeling off Hanauma Bay! 納得の参加料金、ハナウマ湾沖までシュノーケリングで大満足！

Reviewed by: @ケンさん

When we were picked up at the hotel, Alan, who came to greet us, looked a bit frail, and I was concerned... However, once we started the snorkeling tour, he transformed into a 100% trustworthy guide! He led everyone out into the waters of Hanauma Bay, progressing steadily. The further we went out, the clearer the water became, and the tropical fish grew larger. Alan seemed to be searching for turtles, but unfortunately, we didn't encounter any that day. Still, it turned into a wonderful ocean walk that we couldn't have experienced on other tours.

ホテルのピックアップ時、迎えに来てくれたアランが少し老いぼれて見えて大丈夫かと・・・ところがいざシュノーケリングツアーになると信頼１００％のガイドに変身！皆を引き連れてハナウマ湾の沖へドンドンと進んでゆきます。沖にゆくほど透明度は増して熱帯魚も大きくなります。アランは亀を探していたみたいですがこの日は残念ながら遭遇出来ませんでした。でも他のツアーでは体験できない素晴らしい海の散歩になりました。

2.5-Hour Waikiki Guided Turtle Snorkel Tour, Snacks & Drinks - Holokai Catamaran

Awesome activity

Reviewed by: Matt

The tour guides had great attitudes and were very nice especially when working on Christmas day. Only a 5 minute ride to turtle canyon where there were 5-10 turtles as well as a lot of fish. The water was very refreshing and clear. We saw Dolphins adter snorkeling and they literally came within 2 feet of the boat. This tour was extremely worth it. This is a must if you're staying in Waikiki and want to do a fun activity.

Our pick up time was at 6:20am which seemed extremely early at the time but i am glad we went early because we were one of the first people in the water. The scuba instructor was patient with the first time scuba diver in our group and he was very professional and knowledgable. This tour is definitely worth the money

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＞

Private Dolphin Middle School 私立イルカ中学

Reviewed by: らりるママ

The tour was somehow carried out despite the strong winds before Christmas in December. In a review, it mentioned that "the one-hour journey to the port was filled with various videos and explanations about dolphin ecology from the lively tour guide, leaving no time to sleep!" I thought this would be beneficial for the kids, so I chose this tour instead of just snorkeling.

However, it might depend on the guide for the day or perhaps due to the small number of participants and the use of a minivan, there weren't any detailed lessons, and most people ended up sleeping. Inside the vehicle, there was only an explanation about the $10 rental fee for wetsuits and a reminder to use the restroom before gathering. Of course, the only place to change is the restroom, so I recommend being fully prepared in advance.

The boat was a larger rubber boat! Depending on the location, your belongings might get wet and roll around. Once you sit down, it’s difficult to move or retrieve anything from your bag, so make sure to prepare sunscreen and sunglasses perfectly!

You have to straddle the edge of the boat like a rodeo, and the speed and impact are quite significant, so I wouldn’t recommend it for small children, elderly people, or those who lack physical confidence. Once we reached the open water, we put on snorkels, fins, and simple life jackets, then jumped straight off the edge of the rubber boat to go snorkeling!

According to the tour guide that day, there were "very friendly dolphins in great conditions," but perhaps due to the rain the day before, the visibility wasn't great. We chased a few dolphins drifting below and could see them from above… maybe. The guide gave us a description that it was the best, but I think moving around on a larger boat from a major company might have better points to explore. Alternatively, if you're looking for a guaranteed close encounter with dolphins, a park might provide a more fulfilling experience.

We snorkeled in two different locations for about 10 minutes each! The second time was for fish and coral viewing, but the spots weren't that impressive, so if you're hoping to see many colorful fish in a beautiful blue sea, I recommend shallow, clear waters suitable for snorkeling, like Hanauma Bay.

On the way back, it was extremely cold, and on top of that, there was a $50 charge for the photos taken by the accompanying photographer (optional), as well as tips for the crew. The tour lasted about two hours, and there were no showers or changing facilities, making it difficult to stop anywhere else on the way back, so you would need to return to the hotel to change. Considering the costs and time commitment, I wonder if it’s worth it?

Well, if this is your first time experiencing activities in Hawaii, it might be a good memory to go at least once… Honestly, it seemed a bit lacking for high school-aged kids.

12月のクリスマス前の強風の元、どうにか決行されました。
書き込みで、「港までの約一時間のみちのりは、ノリのよい添乗員さんのイルカの生態など様々なビデオや説明に寝る暇もない！」とあり、ただのシュノーケリングだけでなく、その様なことも子供にはありがたいと思い、こちらのツアーを選びました。
ただ、たぶんその日の担当にもよるのか、はたまた人数が少なくて、ミニバンだったためか、詳しい授業などなく、ほとんどの方が寝ていました。
車内では、ウェットスーツのレンタル代
10ドルの説明とトイレを済ませて、集合とのことくらい。もちろん着替える場所は、トイレくらいなので事前に準備万端にしていくことをお薦めします。
ボートはゴムボートの大きめのもの！
荷物も場所によっては、濡れるし、転がります。一度座ると場所を動くことも荷物の中からなにかを取り出すことも困難なので、日焼け止めやサングラスなども完璧に準備をしましょう！
ボートのヘリにロデオのように跨ぎ、スピードも衝撃もかなりあるので、小さいお子さんや年配の方や体力に自信がないかたにはお薦めしません。
沖に着いたらシュノーケルと足ヒレと簡易なライフジャケットをつけ、いきなりゴムボートのヘリから飛び込み、シュノーケリング！
その日は、添乗員さんいわく「とてもいい状況にとてもフレンドリーなイルカ」とのことでしたが、前日の雨のせいか透明度は今一つ、下に漂っているイルカを何頭か追いかけ、上からみれた！…かな…てきな感じでした。
添乗員さんからは、最高！のような説明も受けましたが、やはり大手の大きめなボートで動き回り、他の最良のポイントも有りかな？
もしくは、イルカとの間近での確実な出会いやふれあいを求めるならパークなどの方が充実感があるように感じました。
シュノーケリングも場所を代えて約10分位を2回！２回目はお魚や珊瑚鑑賞でしたが、やはりポイントしては今一つなので、青い海で沢山のカラフルな魚達をご希望のかたは、浅瀬の綺麗な海(シュノーケリングに適したハナウマなど)をお薦めします。
帰りはとにかく寒くて、おまけに最後に同行したカメラマンの撮ってくださったお写真50ドル(希望者のみ)、とクルーへのチップがいります。
約二時間位のツアーで、シャワーも着替えるところもなく、帰りに他に立ち寄るには厳しい状況なので一度ホテルに帰り着替えなくてはならないので、かなり費用と拘束時間を考えるといかがなものでしょうか？
まあ、ハワイやその様なこともアクティビティーが、はじめてなら１度行かれるても良い思い出になるかと思われますが…
正直なところ高校生くらいの若い子達には物足りなかったようです。

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＞

Very good! とても良い！

Reviewed by: １２３４

It was a tour that my 70-year-old mother was very satisfied with. The best part was that they provided wetsuits and other gear. Since the weather was a bit chilly when we entered the water, this was very helpful. Additionally, there were many corals, so it was also great for preventing injuries. The snorkeling experience was absolutely satisfying. My mother, who had previously gone snorkeling in Guam, didn't have a very good impression of it (she was scared because the beaches in Guam had many rocks and she slipped), but it seemed she really enjoyed snorkeling on this tour.

７０歳になる母も大満足のツアーでした。
一番よかったことはウェットスーツ等の貸出があることでした。
参加した時期のため海に入るとすこし寒いなぁと感じる気候だったので。
それにサンゴが多いのでけが防止のためにもとても役に立ちました。
シュノーケルは有無も言わず大満足でした。
以前グアムでシュノーケリングをした母はシュノーケリングにあまり良い印象を持っていませんでしたが（グアムのビーチは岩が多くすべったりして恐怖を抱いていました）、今回のこのツアーですごくシュノーケリングを気に入ったようでした。
