We had a GREAT time! Loved the volleyball on the sandbar, bbq on the boat and cruising across the bay watching the turtles. Snorkeling on the reef was awesome. The crew was awesome. Would do this again in a heartbeat!

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＞

If the weather is nice... 天気が良ければ…

Reviewed by: ITO夫婦

I had wanted to visit the sandbar. However, it was unfortunately rainy, and the water depth at the shallowest point was only about knee-deep for men. This was disappointing, as it was due to weather conditions. Despite this, the staff were cheerful and helped create a fun atmosphere, making the experience enjoyable. The snorkeling was in relatively deeper water, but it was safe since we wore life jackets. We were also able to see the honu (sea turtles).

行ってみたかったサンドバー。
しかし生憎の雨、そして最も浅いところの水深も男性の膝下くらいでした。
こればかりは気象条件によるので、残念でした。
そんな中でもスタッフの方々が明るく盛り上げていただき、楽しく過ごせました。
シュノーケリングは比較的深いところですが、ライフジャケットを着て泳ぎますので安心です。ホヌも見ることが出来ました。

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＞

I was able to see sea turtles and butterflyfish. ウミガメにもチョウチョウウオにも会えました。

Reviewed by: エッチン

The 6:30 AM pickup was a bit sleepy, but once I got on the boat, I woke up. Last year, when I went snorkeling on the Big Island (Captain Cook), the water wasn't very clear and the fish weren't that great, so I didn't have high expectations this year. However, at Molokini, the water was quite clear and there were plenty of fish. There were several types of fish like pipefish and butterflyfish, so I was satisfied.

After about an hour, we headed to the next sea turtle point. I was worried that the water wouldn't be very clear and that I might not see any turtles, but fortunately, I was one of the first to get into the water and quickly encountered one. Since there weren't many people yet, I was able to enjoy watching it swim leisurely. I swam here for nearly an hour, but compared to Molokini, there were fewer fish, and the main attraction was definitely the sea turtles. Just when I thought it was almost over, the guide told us there was a turtle a little further away, so I hurried over and was able to see the second one.

I realized how glad I was to join the tour since I wouldn't have known the spots on my own. On the way back, I relaxed on the boat while enjoying beer and cocktails while watching the video the crew had taken.

朝６時半のピックアップはちょっと眠たかったけど、船に乗ったら目が覚めました。
昨年ハワイ島（キャプテンクック）でシュノーケリングをしたときには、水もあまりきれいでなく魚ももう一つだったので、今年もあまり期待をしていなかったのですが、モロキニ島は、結構水もきれいで魚もたくさんいました。パイプウニヤカワハギ系の魚、チョウチョウウオも数種類いて、まあ、満足。
１時間ほどして、次のウミガメポイントへ。水はあまりきれいでなかったので、ウミガメが見れるかどうか心配だったのですが、ほぼ一番乗りで海に入ったのが幸いで、すぐに１頭に遭遇しました。まだ、あまり人がいなかったので、ゆったり泳いでいる姿を堪能できました。ここでも１時間近く泳いでいましたが、モロキニに比べ魚も少なく、やっぱり目当てはウミガメ。そろそろ終わりかという時に、少し離れたところにカメがいるとガイドの人が教えてくれたので、全速力でそちらに向かい２頭目を見ることができました。
自分ではポイントなどわからないし、ツアーに参加してよかったと思った瞬間でした。帰りの船中では、クルーが撮ったビデオを見ながらビールやカクテルを飲んでゆったりできました。

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＞

I got to meet dolphins and sea turtles! ☆ イルカと海ガメに会えた☆

Reviewed by: 初ハワイ

I participated in this tour during my first visit to Hawaii.

On the day of the tour, we traveled to the port via a shared bus that stopped at various hotels in Waikiki. During the ride, we received an explanation about the tour.

It seems that the snorkeling spots vary by day, and since the dolphins are completely wild, there’s no guarantee that we will see them. Some days we might encounter around 80 dolphins, while other days we might only see about 20, or in the worst case, none at all. However, since this is nature, there's nothing we can do about it, and it can't be helped. Hearing this made me even more excited as I swayed in the bus.

Once we arrived at the port, we used the restroom, changed out of our clothes, and put on our swimsuits. At this time, they also offered wetsuit rentals, which I believe were around $20, so those who needed one could wear it. By the way, my husband and I thought we would be fine without one, but about half of the participants rented wetsuits.

When it was time to board the boat, I had imagined a somewhat larger vessel, but it felt more like a boat than a ship. Therefore, there was some rocking, so I recommend that anyone prone to motion sickness take some medication beforehand. I personally tend to get quite seasick, so I took some in advance.

After the boat set sail, we spent some time searching for dolphins in the vast ocean, but surprisingly, there were no dolphin detectors on board; we were relying solely on the captain's instincts and experience to find them! I was quite shocked and my anxiety and excitement grew.

Despite my worries, the scenery along the west coast of Oahu was incredibly mystical and beautiful. Unlike Waikiki Beach, it was very quiet and was described as a sacred place for the locals. However, since the name was unfamiliar to me, I forgot the location...

As we were swaying on the boat, the captain made a delightful announcement that there was a pod of dolphins! Everyone quickly put on their snorkeling gear and jumped into the water at the signal.

Following the guide, we proceeded and... there they were! A few dolphins were gracefully swimming at a depth of about 10 meters, and we could see them right below us! However, since we were wearing life jackets and floating on the surface, it didn’t feel like we were swimming with the dolphins. Instead, it felt like we were observing them from above, but I was still so happy to see wild dolphins!

Since dolphins are always swimming and moving, they soon swam away, and we returned to the boat to head in the direction they had gone and entered the water again.

Then, we were able to see another pod of dolphins, and this time, if we listened closely, we could hear their squeaky sounds! The guide also heard the sounds and mentioned that the dolphins were playing.

I don't know if the dolphins were calling out to us, but I felt incredibly happy to have such a precious experience!

After that, we moved by boat again and were taken to see the home of some sea turtles in the ocean. We were able to see about 10 wild sea turtles swimming leisurely up close! Sea turtles come up to the surface to breathe every few minutes, so even as we floated, we could see their faces right in front of us! As someone who loves turtles more than any other creature, I was even more excited about seeing the wild sea turtles than the dolphins!

This tour allowed us to see both wild dolphins and sea turtles, providing a truly rare and happy experience. I hope to visit again the next time I go to Hawaii.

I apologize for my clumsy writing, but I hope it serves as a reference for anyone who reads it. Thank you!

初めてのハワイで参加しました。

当日はワイキキの各ホテルを周る乗合いバスで港まで移動します。
その車内で、まずツアーの説明を受けます。

シュノーケリングするスポットは日によって違うようで、イルカも完全に野生なので、必ず会えるという確約はありませんという事でした。
日によっては80匹程のイルカに会えたり、20匹程しか会えなかったり、最悪全くいないという事もあるそうです。
でもそれも自然相手なのでどうする事もできないし、仕方がないという事でした。
私はそんな話を聞いてますますドキドキしながら、バスに揺られていました。

そして港に着くと、トイレを済ませて、着ていた服を脱ぎ、あらかじめ着用していた水着姿になります。
この時、ウェットスーツの貸し出しも行っていて、たしか20ドルだったと思いますので、必要な方はこちらも着用します。
ちなみに私たち夫婦は大丈夫だろうと思い借りませんでしたが、半数の方が借りていました。

そしていざ船に乗り込むのですが、私は勝手にちょっとした大きさのある船を想像してましたが、船というよりボートに近いかなという感じがしました。
そのためやはり揺れはありますので、乗り物酔いされる方は酔い止めを飲んで行かれる事をお勧めします。
私自身、普段から乗り物酔いが激しいタイプなので、あらかじめ飲んでいきました。

ボートが出港してしばらくの間、ひたすら広い海を進みながらイルカを探すのですが、驚く事にイルカ探知機などは装備しておらず、ただただ船長さんの感覚と経験だけで探すということでした‼︎
私はかなり驚きながらますます不安とドキドキが増していきました。

ただそんな不安を感じながらも、オアフ島西海岸沿いの景色はとても神秘的で綺麗でした。
ワイキキビーチとは違いとても静かで、地元の人達にとって神聖な場所であるというお話でした。
が、聞きなれない名前だった為、地名を忘れてしまいました、、、汗

そうこうしてボートに揺られていると、なんと船長さんからイルカの群れがいるという嬉しい発表が、、、‼︎
すぐにシュノーケリングを着けて海に入る大勢になり、合図とともに海へ飛び込みます。

そしてガイドさんの後に続いて進んで行くと、、、い、いました‼︎
数頭のイルカの群れが、水深10メートル⁇くらいのところを優雅に泳いでいて、私達の真下に見る事ができました‼︎
ただ、私達はライフジャケットを着用して水面に浮かんでいるので、水深何メートルも下にいるイルカと、一緒に泳いでいるという感覚ではなかったです。
ただイルカが群れで泳ぐ様子を私達が上から見ているというという感じでしたが、それでも野生のイルカに会えただけですごく嬉しかったです‼︎

イルカは常に泳いで移動しているので、しばらくするとみんな行ってしまい、私達も一旦ボートに戻り、イルカが進んで行った方向に先回りして、再度海へ入る事になりました。

すると、またイルカの群れを見る事ができたのですが、今度はよく耳を澄ましていると、キィキィキィ、、、というイルカの鳴き声を聞くことができました‼︎
ガイドさんも鳴き声を聞いていて、イルカが遊んでいたねと言っていました。

イルカが私達に向かって声をかけてくれたのかは分かりませんが、貴重な体験ができてすごく幸せな気持ちになりました‼︎

その後、再度ボートで移動し、海中にあるウミガメのおうちに案内してもらいました。
10匹程の野生のウミガメがゆったり泳いでいる光景をすぐ近くで見る事ができました‼︎
ウミガメは数分毎に空気を吸うために水面に上がってくるので、プカプカ浮いてる私達でも、すぐ間近で顔を見る事ができました‼︎
実は生き物の中で1番カメが好きな私は、イルカ以上に野生のウミガメに興奮しっぱなしでした‼︎

このツアーでは野生のイルカにもウミガメにも会えて、とっても貴重な幸せな体験ができました。
次回ハワイに行った際にも、また会いに行けたらなと思います。

つたない文章でしたが、少しでも読んで頂いた方の参考になれば幸いです。
ありがとうございました。

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!! 感動します！！

Reviewed by: tiny

We participated as a couple. We were moved to see wild dolphins and sea turtles! In particular, we encountered a pod of dolphins, and many dolphins swam right beside us. There were also a variety of colorful fish. They provided cheese for feeding, and when we threw it, they gathered around us. The boat ride was quite bumpy. Snorkels and fins are free, but wetsuits are available for rent at a cost. You can choose the size of the fins, but you cannot choose the snorkel, so if you have a smaller face or are uncomfortable using something someone else has used, it's better to bring your own. I brought mine. If you're not a strong swimmer, you can also borrow a float. If you bring an underwater camera, you can take many wonderful photos. After getting out of the water, it can be cold, so I think it's a good idea to bring a rash guard. You'll need to change in a public restroom that isn't very clean, so it's best to bring clothes that are easy to change into.

夫婦で参加しました。野生のイルカにもウミガメにも会えて感動しました！特に、イルカは群れに出会うことができ、たくさんのイルカがすぐそばをスーッと泳いでいきました。その他にも色とりどりの魚がいました。餌用のチーズをいただけるので、それを捲くと近くに集まってきました。移動はボートでかなり揺れます。シュノーケルとフィンは無料、ウェットスーツは有料貸出になります。フィンはサイズを選べますが、シュノーケルは選べないので、女性で顔が小さい方や知らない人が口にいれたものを使用するのに抵抗がある方は持参したほうがいいです。私は自分のを持ち込みました。泳ぎの苦手な方は浮き輪も貸してもらえます。水中カメラを持っていけば素敵な写真がたくさん撮れます。水からあがった後、寒いのでラッシュガードも持ち込むといいと思います。着替えはあまり綺麗ではない公衆トイレで済ませることになりますので、簡単に着替えられる服を持っていくといいと思います。

Reviewed by: ウミガメ

I participated in snorkeling on the Big Island for the first time. I was anxious because I had heard it wouldn't be in Japanese, but I was able to check in without any problems. However, all the explanations on the boat were in English, so I couldn't understand anything at all. They gave us a printout in Japanese beforehand, so I was asking if they were talking about what was written there. By the way, we were the only Japanese family on board.

As soon as we set off, we encountered a pod of dolphins, which was very moving. Since it was rafting, the front seats were really bumpy and thrilling, which made it a lot of fun! The captain tilted the boat left and right, which was entertaining. We had plenty of time for snorkeling and could really enjoy ourselves. There were many beautiful fish. The Blue Cave was more of just a hole than a cave, but the sea was beautiful.

Even though I couldn't speak English, I was able to communicate somehow, and the captain was very kind. It became a wonderful memory!

初めてのハワイ島でシュノーケリングもできるということで参加しましたっ✳︎
日本語じゃないと聞いていたので不安でしたが、問題なく受付できましたっ。
でも、船の中での説明は全部英語だったので全く理解出来ませんでした。
あらかじめ日本語でかいてあるプリントを渡してもらえたので、だいたいこのことを今いってるのかな？って聞いてました。
ちなみに日本人は、私たち家族しかいなかったですσ(^_^;)
さっそく出発したら、イルカの群れに会いました✳︎とても、感動しました。
ラフティングということだけあって、前の席はすごい揺れてスリル満点で楽しかったです‼︎
船長さんが、左右に船を傾けてくれおもしろかったです。
シュノーケリングもたっぷり時間があり、のびのびできました。
魚もたくさんいてキレイでした。
青の洞窟は、洞窟っていうよりただの穴でしたが海はキレイでした。
英語を話せなかったですが、なんとか通じることもでき親切な船長さんでした。

South Maui Premier Kayak & Snorkel Tour - Paddle Makena Bay and Swim with Hawaiian Sea Turtles

South Maui Snorkel & Kayak: South Shore Explorer

Reviewed by: Caitlin Stein

I would give this 4 1/2 stars! My husband and I ended up getting a private tour because no one else signed up! Our guide was great (didn't give name)-he constantly was bringing things back up to the surface to show us and was very knowledgable about anything we asked about. I had a very personal and special experience with a female turtle while snorkeling and we saw some while kayaking, but I thought we would see more at the turtle cleaning station. Would recommend this to anyone with experience. The total time was good but we wish it could have been a little longer-our guide didn't want us to be on choppy waters. Our tour was around 3 hrs. They provide you with snacks and water. Our guide was snapping pictures for us and will e-mail them to us for free! Can't wait to see them! Mahalo to our guide and this company!!

Tip: After you are done, ask your guide about the Jaws Food Truck-delicious fish tacos and burritos with snacks and smoothies!

Even if you're not confident in your swimming skills, it's perfectly fine to join alone. The staff's attentiveness and care make you feel at ease. I believe I had an experience that was not just like the photos in the guidebook, but even better.

I swam alongside a pod of dolphins, followed the silhouette of a dolphin gracefully arching underwater, and spotted a baby dolphin clinging to its mother. The highlight was when the guide led us to a spot where a dolphin swam towards us, gliding right in front of us. For a moment, the dolphin looked at us, and we were all so excited! We confirmed with each other, "Did we just make eye contact?" At first, I hesitated to join alone because my family is prone to seasickness, but I'm really glad I participated.

泳ぎに自信がなくても、一人参加でも大丈夫。スタッフさんの目配り&気配りがあるので安心です。とにかくガイドブックの写真のような、というよりそれ以上の体験ができたと思います。
イルカの群れと並んで泳いだり、水中深く弧をえがくいるかのシルエットを追ったり、お母さんイルカのお腹にくっついて泳ぐ赤ちゃんイルカを見つけたり。中でもガイドさんが引っ張って誘導してくれた先に一匹のイルカがこちらに向かって泳いできて、目と鼻の先をスーッと横切って行った時、一瞬イルカちゃんがキョロっと私たちを見てくれたのには大興奮！「いま、目があったよね？」とお互い気のせいじゃない事を確認したのでした。最初、家族が船酔い体質のため一人で参加するか迷ったけど参加して本当によかったです。

Dolphin Junior High School Experience Report イルカ中学体験記

Reviewed by: とっとこ山の山太郎

This time, I participated with my brother. I was surprised that the tour start time changed from 9:00 to 6:00 the day before, but it turned out to be better to start at 6:00 for the dolphins' sleeping schedule and the scenery of the mountains on the West Coast. At the dolphin spot, we encountered a pod of about 50 dolphins and had fun swimming with them. The sound of the dolphins was impressive. We also got to swim with turtles. Since the instructor had given us cheese beforehand, we were able to see the fish up close as they went for the bait.

There were about five turtles near their habitat, and we swam alongside them, but they seemed used to people and swam leisurely.

The travel time from Waikiki to the West Coast was about 1 hour. I think we spent about 2 hours out on the water. The instructor had prepared free motion sickness medication for us on the bus beforehand, so I was able to enjoy snorkeling without getting seasick. We arrived back in Waikiki around 11:30.

I hope to challenge myself with Dolphin University next time.

今回は、兄弟での参加となりました
前日に9:00ツアースタート予定が6:00になりびっくりしましたが、イルカの睡眠時間と西海岸の山肌の景色が6:00スタートの方が良いそうなので結果良かったです。イルカスポットでは、50頭くらいの群れと遭遇。し、一緒に泳ぐことができ楽しかったです。イルカの鳴き声が印象的でした。また、亀とも一緒に泳ぐことができました。インストラクターに事前にチーズをもらっていたので、餌に食いつく魚をまじかで見ることができました。
亀は住処付近に5匹程度おり、並走して泳ぎましたが、人慣れしているのか、のんびり泳いでいました。

ワイキキから西海岸までの所要時間は1h。海に出ていた時間は2hくらいだったと思います。事前に行きのバスでインストラクターさんに無料で酔い止め薬を準備してもらえていたので船酔いをすることもなくシュノーケルを楽しむことができました。ワイキキ到着は11:30くらいでした。

次回イルカ大学に挑戦できればと思います。

I participated with three friends. As others have mentioned, on the day we joined, we were the only Japanese participants, while the other attendees were about 16 people in total, including families, couples, and local friends. The captain was considerate, seating those who were prone to seasickness at the back of the boat.

I thought we would head straight to the snorkeling point, but instead, we enjoyed a tour of Kona from the sea and even went searching for a pod of dolphins, making the journey to the snorkeling spot enjoyable.

Once we arrived at the snorkeling point, we were free to explore at our own pace and had a great time interacting with the fish. The snorkeling gear provided was of good quality, and there were plenty of support items like kickboards and flotation devices.

After snorkeling, we could eat as much as we wanted on the boat, enjoying sandwiches, potato chips, cookies, fruits, juice, and water. I felt both my stomach and heart were full, and despite the boat speeding back, it was a challenge to stay awake!

友人３人で参加しました。みなさんも書かれていたように私たちが参加した日も日本人は私たちのみで、他の参加者は、家族連れやご夫婦、地元の友人同士など、総勢16名程度の出航でした。キャプテンは酔いやすい人をボートの後ろ側に座らせるなど、配慮もしてくれました。
シュノーケルポイントにすぐ向かうのかと思いきや、コナの街を海から紹介してくれたり、イルカの群れを探しに行くなど、シュノーケルポイントにつくまでも楽しく過ごすことができました。
ポイントについてからは、各自自由に行動でき、ゆっくりと思い思いに魚と戯れることができました。貸してくれたシュノーケルグッズもちゃんとしていて、ビート板や浮き棒などサポートグッズも豊富でした。
シュノーケル後は、船の上で、サンドウィッチやポテトチップス、クッキーやフルーツ、ジュースや水など、好きなだけ食べることができました。
胃も心も満たされて、帰りはボートが爆走しているにもかかわらず、寝落ちしないようにするのが大変でした。

The shuttle did not arrive on the day. 当日送迎が来なかった

Reviewed by: 匿名さん

I was waiting at the changed meeting place the day before the tour, but no shuttle came, and I didn't receive any calls on my registered mobile. I tried calling the tour company several times, but couldn't get through. After 40 minutes, I finally got a call through, and when I explained the situation, they asked if I had been at the meeting place.

They said they would contact me again after confirming, so I waited in my room, but after 30 minutes, I still hadn't heard anything. When I called again, they said the Japanese office opens at 8 AM, which is why they couldn't contact me. At that point, it was already past 8:15 AM.

They mentioned rescheduling for another day or in the afternoon, but due to my travel schedule, I could only reschedule for that afternoon, which meant I would have to switch to a lunch plan that was different from the morning one I had originally chosen. Since I was traveling with an 8-month-old baby, snorkeling wasn't an option, and long hours would be a burden, which is why I had specifically chosen the morning plan.

It was a main option for me, so I decided to switch to the afternoon one, but they said it would just be a direct rescheduling, which frustrated me. When I complained, they said they would cover the costs.

The option I participated in was wonderful, but I felt that my limited time on this expensive trip was wasted on phone calls, I couldn't even have breakfast, and my original afternoon plans were ruined. Moreover, there was no response unless I took action myself. It’s truly sad and frustrating that such memories were left from this trip. I don't think I will use this company again.

I’m sharing this for reference, hoping no one else has to go through a similar experience.

参加前日集合場所の変更があったためそちらで待機していましたが送迎が来ず、登録した携帯に連絡が来ず、ツアー会社の電話にも数回したが繋がらず。40分後にようやく電話が通じ、事情を話すと
もう出てしまった、集合場所にいたのか？ との対応。

確認後再度連絡すると言われたため部屋で待ったが30分経っても連絡なし。再度こちらから電話したら日本語のオフィスが8時から開くため連絡できなかったと。その時点で8時15分過ぎでしたが。
他の日、もしくは午後に振り返ると言われたが滞在日程ではその日の午後にしか振替できず朝とは違った昼食付きのプランになってしまった。
生後8ヶ月の赤ちゃん連れだったためシュノーケリングが出来ないし長時間は負担になってしまうからわざわざ朝のプランにしていたのに。
メインにしていたオプションだったので午後のに振り返ることにしたが、そのまま振替にするという対応だったので頭に来て文句を言ったら料金はこちらで負担しますと。

参加したオプションは素晴らしかったのだが、お金をかけて行った旅行の限られた時間を電話のやりとりで無駄にされ、朝食も食べれず、もともとの午後の予定もダメになった。そしてこちらからアクションをかけないと対応もなし。せっかくの旅行にこんな形で思い出が残ってしまったことが本当に悲しく腹立たしい。
もう二度とこの会社は使わないと思う。
こんな目にあった人もいるということで参考までに載せておきます。二度と同じような経験をする人が出ませんように。

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 weather wasn't very good, but... 天気はあまりよくなかったのですが。。

Reviewed by: ひろやす

I participated in a tour in July during the day. The weather was a bit rainy and somewhat cold, but we had fun playing underwater beach volleyball at the sandbar. After that, we moved to a point where we could see turtles and had hamburgers. We saw about ten turtles from the boat. They come up to the surface for a moment to breathe, so we only saw them briefly. After that, we went snorkeling. There were life jackets available, and there were also things like boogie board poles, so I felt safe doing it. There were a lot more fish underwater than I expected. We were even able to feed them bread, which was very satisfying. Finally, it cleared up, and we were able to see the beautiful sandbar!

7月の昼のツアーに参加しました。天気は雨も少し降っていて若干寒かったのですがサンドバーでは水中のビーチバレーをやって楽しめました。その後はハンバーガーを食べて亀が見えるポイントに移動。10匹ぐらいの亀を船の上から見ました。呼吸をするのに一瞬海面に上がってくるとのこと。なので見えたのも一瞬でした。その後はシュノーケリング。これはライフジャケットもあるしビート板のポールのようなものもあるので安心して出来ました。海中には予想してたよりも色々な魚が大量にいました。パンをあげることも出来て大満足。最後は晴れて綺麗なサンドバーも見ることが出来ました♪

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＞

Very satisfied! 大満足！

Reviewed by: つぶつぶいちご

This is my second time participating in this tour. The last time I came, the tide was high and the sandbar didn't appear, but this time I did my research and was able to see the sandbar. There are always sea turtles near the boat (they have names, but I forgot them), and you can definitely see them. They are friendly towards humans, so when you make gestures to feed them, they come close, which is adorable. I might go again just to see the honu! I really recommend this tour!

こちらのツアーに参加するのは２度目です。前回来た時は潮が満ちていてサンドバーが出現しなかったのですが、今回はちゃんと調べて行ったのでサンドバーを見る事ができました＾＾ボートの近くにはいつも海ガメがいて（名前がついてるんですが忘れました；）絶対見る事ができます。人間になついているので、餌をやる仕草をすると近くまで寄ってくるのが可愛いです＾＾ホヌ見たさにまた行くかもしれません笑　このツアー、本当にお勧めです！

The staff is great. スタッフがいい

Reviewed by: あんな

As the title suggests, the staff was very cheerful and helped create a lively atmosphere, making for a very enjoyable tour. It was initially rainy and cold, but the weather finally cleared up by the time we arrived at the sandbar. It was our honeymoon, and the staff suggested various poses while taking some wonderful photos for us. The hamburgers were delicious as well. The snorkeling was a bit murkier than I expected, possibly because it had been raining.

タイトル通りです、スタッフがとても明るく、雰囲気を盛り上げてくれたおかげで、とても楽しいツアーになりました。
当初雨が降って寒かったのですが、サンドバーに着く頃にようやく天気が回復。
新婚旅行だったのですが、スタッフの方が色々ポーズを言ってくれながら、とても素敵な写真を撮ってくれました。
ハンバーガーも美味しかったです。
シュノーケルは思ったよりは水が濁っていました。雨が降っていたからかも。

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＞

The lava cave was disappointing. 溶岩洞窟は期待外れ

Reviewed by: あんな

I thought there would be some Japanese people, but everyone except us was from an English-speaking country. I could hardly understand the explanations. My companion had snorkeling experience, so we managed to get by with their help.

While rafting, we spotted a pod of dolphins that approached us at an incredible speed, and we were able to observe them several times.

The lava cave wasn't really much of a cave. It was just a part where the waves had worn away the rocks, so it was a bit disappointing.

Kealakekua Bay was very beautiful and a lot of fun.

少しは日本人がいるかと思いましたが、自分達以外は全員英語圏の方達でした。説明もほぼ分からず。連れがシュノーケル経験があったので、聞きながらやりました。
ラフティング中イルカの群れを見つけると、すごい勢いで接近してくれ、何度か群れを観察することができました。
溶岩洞窟は洞窟というほどのものではないです。ちょっと波で岩が削れた部分、ぐらいのものなので、期待外れでした。
ケアラケクア湾はとても綺麗でものすごく楽しかったです。
