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 got to meet a dolphin! イルカに会えた！

Reviewed by: Chigusa

I had met dolphins in places like Ogasawara before, but the dolphins I met here were small and really cute! I had been really looking forward to rafting, and it was even more fun than I expected, with the boat tilting quite a bit! The captain and the female crew member were very friendly, which made it easy to relax. When we were heading to a point, my hat got blown away by the wind, but they laughed and quickly went back to get it.

We went to a snorkeling point, and they contacted a fishing boat that was trolling to show us the catch, and we got to see dolphins too. The experience was really rich and I was never bored. The second snorkeling point we went to was especially beautiful, warm, and relaxing, leaving a strong impression.

On the way back, we had another thrilling rafting experience, and Captain Cook also provided explanations, which was fun. The lunch, chips, and fruits we had on the boat were also delicious and felt very refreshing! I want to participate again!!

いままで小笠原とかでイルカに会えたけど、ここで会えたイルカさん達は小さかったからかわいかった！
前からラフティングに興味があってすっごく楽しみだったけど、予想以上に船が傾いたりしてすごく楽しかった！　船長さんと女性のクルーさんもすっごく気さくな感じでリラックスできた。ポイントに行く時に帽子を風で飛ばされちゃったんだけど、笑いながらガーって戻ってくれた。
シュノーケルのポイント行ったり、トローリングしてる釣り船に連絡してくれて釣り上げる所を見せてくれたり、イルカを見たり内容がすごく濃くて全然飽きなかった。特に２ヶ所目に行ったシュノーケルポイントがとっても綺麗で暖かくてのんびりできて印象的でした。
帰りはまたまたラフティングですっごくドキドキしたけどキャプテン・クックさんの説明なんかもしてくれて楽しかったです。
あと船の上で食べるランチやチップス、フルーツも開放感があってすごくおいしかった！　また参加したいです！！

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＞

The best memories! 最高の思い出！

Reviewed by: イルカ大学 卒業生♡

I decided to sign up for this tour right away when I planned a trip to Hawaii with my friends. I had heard that if luck wasn't on our side, we might not encounter dolphins, but swimming with my favorite dolphins has been a dream of mine for a long time, so I was filled with anticipation!

The day before, I called to inform them about the hotel and room where I was staying, and I was very relieved to speak with a Japanese woman.

Then came the long-awaited day. I received a call even before the meeting time, and I wondered what it was about. It turned out that there were few participants for Dolphin Junior High, so we were upgraded to Dolphin University for free!!! I was so happy that my friend and I were overjoyed from the morning.

After being picked up from the hotel, we rode the bus for about an hour. We then transferred to a boat to go search for dolphins. The crew members were all cheerful and funny! It was so much fun!

And then we spotted the dolphins we had been longing to see! We all jumped off the boat immediately and approached the dolphins. It seemed that our class was a lucky day that only happens once every two weeks, as a cute pod of dolphins swam close by without leaving us! Watching the dolphins swim gracefully right in front of us was truly healing and moving. I had brought an underwater camera, so I was able to capture great shots of the dolphins swimming! It was truly, truly a wonderful time. I will never forget it.

Thank you so much to everyone at Dolphin Junior High and Dolphin University!

友達とハワイに行くことになり、真っ先に申し込んだこのツアー。運が悪ければイルカに出会えない事もあると聞いていましたが、大好きなイルカと一緒に泳ぐのはずっと昔からの夢だったので期待を込めて！

前日に泊まっているホテルと部屋を連絡する為に電話しましたが、対応して下さったのが日本人の女性の方でとても安心しました。

そして待ちに待った当日。
集合時間より早く電話がかかってきたので何だろう？と思ったら、イルカ中学への参加者が少なかった為、イルカ大学に無料でアップグレードとのこと！！！嬉しすぎて朝から友人と大はしゃぎでした。

ホテルにピックアップが来てからバスに揺られること約一時間。船に乗り換えてイルカを探しにでかけます。乗組員さん達はみんな陽気で面白い方ばかり！とっても楽しいです！

そして念願のイルカを発見！
すぐにみんなで船から飛び降りて、イルカに接近します。私たちの授業は２週間に１度あるかないか位のラッキーデーだったらしく、可愛いイルカの群れがずーっと近くを離れずに泳いでくれていました！目の前で気持ち良さそうに泳ぐイルカは、本当にみていて癒されるし、感動しました。水中カメラを持っていっていたので、泳いでるイルカの姿もばっちり撮影することができました！本当に本当に、素敵な時間でした。一生忘れません。

イルカ中学、イルカ大学のみなさん
本当にありがとうございました！

Thank you, Daisuke-san, our guide!
I heard that the dolphins were in a good mood on the day of our participation, and there were many dolphins that gathered at Daisuke-san's call! Just as Daisuke-san said, we were able to encounter them up close by simply waiting in their path instead of chasing them. Hearing their calls was incredibly soothing. It was moving.

The views of the Big Island and the ocean from the boat were also wonderful, making it a memorable tour.
When I come back to Hawaii, I would like to participate in the night manta tour.
Of course, I want to join the dolphin tour again too!

I truly appreciate both Daisuke-san and the captain.

ガ イドのダイスケさん、ありがとうございました！
参加日はイルカ達のご機嫌が良かったとのことですが、ダイスケさんの呼び掛けに集まってきたイルカ達が沢山！ダイスケさんの言う通り、イルカを追いかけずに、イルカ達の通り道で待ってるだけで近距離で出会うことが出来ました。鳴き声も聞けてとっても癒されました。感動です。

ボートから見るハワイ島や海の景色も素晴らしく、思い出に残るツアーでした。
また、ハワイに来たときは夜のマンタツアーに参加したいと思います。
もちろん、イルカツアーにも！

Captain Bob's Kaneohe Sandbar Snorkeling Tour & BBQ Lunch with Waikiki Pickup

Trip was great

Reviewed by: Spudley

We really enjoyed visiting the sandbar and the coral reef--the coral was amazing and there were many tropical fish around, as well as several green turtles for those who got off the boat before everyone else. Turtle sightings around the area where they were supposed to be were somewhat disappointing. We were pleasantly surprised by the grilled cheeseburgers for lunch and unpleasantly surprised by having to pay for beers--for what we paid for the trip, a beer or two for free should have been provided

I checked the low tide in Hawaii before joining this tour. When the sun shines, the white sandbar floats up in the blue sea, and the contrast of blue and white is very beautiful. I saw many honu (sea turtles) and encountered beautiful fish while snorkeling. An extraordinary world unfolded before my eyes, and it was very healing. Joining this tour was definitely the right choice! Even now, I feel healed when I look at the photos of the sandbar.

After graduating from Iruka Junior High School イルカ中学を卒業して

Reviewed by: hiro&china

The endlessly blue sky and the crystal-clear emerald sea where you can see the bottom. Swimming alongside the lively wild dolphins in such a wonderful Hawaiian sea created truly unforgettable memories. As first-time snorkelers, everything was a new experience for us, but thanks to the generous support from the staff, we were able to enjoy it safely. When we signed up, we had concerns about whether we would actually see wild dolphins and if we would feel unwell, but those worries faded away in the face of the stunning scenery and the dolphins that healed us. The staff informed us that wild dolphins live over 20 years longer than those kept in aquariums, and it made sense to me that they would thrive in such a wonderful environment. When sea turtles and tropical fish approached us without any signs of fear, it felt like we were naturally swimming as part of that ocean. There are many tours that are worth experiencing at least once in a lifetime, but I think there are not many that make you want to experience them again. If we come back to Hawaii, we would love to re-enroll in Dolphin School.

どこまでも青い空と底が見えるほど透明度の高いエメラルドの海。元気に泳ぐ野生のイルカ達とそんな素晴らしいハワイの海を一緒に泳げて、本当に最高の思い出が出来ました。シュノーケル初体験の私達は、何から何まで初めて尽くしでしたが、手厚いサポートのスタッフの皆さんのお陰で、無事に体験する事が出来ました。参加を申し込んだ時は、野生のイルカにそんなに都合よく会えるのか？体調不良にならないか？など不安もありましたが、そんな心配や不安は感じる暇もないほど素晴らしい景色とイルカ達に癒されました。スタッフの方に、野生のイルカは水族館に飼育されているイルカに比べて２０年以上長生きすると教わり、なるほどこれだけ素晴らしい環境でのびのび生きられたらそうなるなと納得でした。ウミガメや熱帯魚も人間を警戒する様子もなく、目の前まで近づいてきた時は、自分たちがその海の一員として自然と一体になって泳いでいる様な感覚でした。人生で一度でも体験すれば良いツアーはいっぱいありますが、もう一度体験したいと思えるツアーはそんなに多くないと思います。私たちはまたハワイに来たらイルカ中学に再入学したいと思います。

I was able to see dolphins up close! イルカを近くで見ることが出来ました！

Reviewed by: m&m

I went to Hawaii for my wedding and honeymoon. I decided to participate in a dolphin encounter to create lasting memories from my time in Hawaii.

Although the meeting time was early at 6:10 AM, I was able to catch a little sleep on the bus.

I was taken care of by Sue, and I had a really enjoyable time! I listened carefully to the instructions on the bus, and upon arrival, we moved to a spot on the boat where we could see dolphins. It's recommended to keep your belongings in a waterproof bag, like a plastic bag, just in case they get wet.

While there are chances you might not see dolphins, the class I participated in was very lucky, and we encountered a pod of nearly 70 dolphins multiple times, getting to see them up close! From the boat, we could also see dolphins swimming alongside us! Swimming with the dolphins (or rather, seeing them underwater) was a dream come true, and I was extremely satisfied!

Additionally, during the second hour, we were able to see sea turtles up close. It was my first experience seeing sea turtles this close.

However, since you have to swim on your own, it's best to let someone know if you're not comfortable with that.

The weather was great all day, and the water clarity was excellent! Meeting dolphins and sea turtles was the highlight of my trip!

挙式＆ハネムーンでハワイへ行きました。
ハワイでの思い出になるものを、と思いイルカ中学に参加することにしました。

朝は6時10分集合と早いですが、バスの中でも少し眠ることができます。

スーさんにお世話になりましたが、とっても楽しく過ごすことができました！
バスの中で注意事項をきちんと聞き、到着すると船でイルカの出るスポットへ移動です。
荷物は水に濡れても大丈夫なように、ビニールバッグ等に入れておくことがオススメです。

イルカに会えない等もあるようですが、参加したクラスはとっても運が良く、70頭近くのイルカの群れに何度も遭遇し、間近で見ることが出来ました！！
船上からも、並走して泳ぐイルカをみることが出来ました！！
イルカの群れと一緒に泳ぐ(実際には海中で見る)ことは夢のまた夢だったので、大満足です！！

また、二時間目にはウミガメも間近で見ることができました。
こんなにも近くでウミガメを見たのは初めての経験でした。

ただ、自力で泳ぐので、苦手なかったはきちんと申し出た方がいいです。


終日、お天気にも恵まれ、海の透明度も最高！
イルカ・ウミガメにも会えて、最高でした！

The view from the sandbar is amazing!! サンドバーの景色は最高!!

Reviewed by: ひろえ

I participated in the morning tour (*^^*) and saw plenty of sea turtles, plus the view of the sandbar was truly beautiful. However, it was quite cold because it was the rainy season and it rained a lot. But after we arrived at the sandbar, it cleared up.

We also had the opportunity to experience snorkeling. The underwater scenery was really beautiful, but it was a bit disappointing that there were not many fish and they were in deeper areas, making it hard to see them well ( ´△｀). I also felt that the time was a bit short. I wish the snorkeling time had been a little longer and that we could have seen more fish.

However, the scenery is very beautiful and the ocean is lovely, so I think it's worth going to the sandbar.

午前中のツアーに参加しました(*^^*)ウミガメはいっぱい見れるし、サンドバーの景色は本当にキレイでしたが、雨季のため雨降ってたのでかなり寒かったです。
でもサンドバーに着いてからは晴れてました。
そしてシュノーケリングを体験させて頂きました海の中は本当にキレイでしたが、魚が少し少なかったのと深いところにいてあまりよく見えなかったのが少し残念でした( ´△｀)またちょっと時間が短かったなぁと思いました。シュノーケリングの時間がもう少し長くて魚が見れたら良かったなぁと思いました。
ただ景色はとてもキレイだし海もキレイなのでサンドバーに行く価値はあると思います。

Beautiful sea. 綺麗な海★

Reviewed by: mika

There were two boats, and the Japanese people gathered on one and boarded it. This made me feel quite secure participating in the tour. It was raining and the weather was bad, so the inside of the boat got a bit wet from the sideways rain and strong winds, making it very cold. It's better to bring an extra jacket or towel! There are no changing rooms, so you'll need to change in the restroom, so it's best to wear just your swimsuit that you can easily take off on the way there. ★ Even though the weather was bad, the sandbar looked beautiful. We were able to see several sea turtles! For lunch, the female captain cheerfully grilled hamburgers and served them fresh in sandwiches. ★ They were very delicious. The snorkeling was also a lot of fun with plenty of fish!

On the way back, we couldn't all fit on one bus and had to wait quite a while for the next one, which made me worry about being late for the next tour I had booked. I wish they had better arrangements for the return transportation. By the way, you ride the bus back in your swimsuit, so the air conditioning makes it cold. Let's bring an extra towel!

船が２隻あり、日本人は１隻に集められ乗りました。なので、結構安心してツアーに参加することができました。雨が降っていて天気が悪かったので船の中は横雨と強風で多少濡れてとても寒かったです。羽織やタオルを余計に持って行ったほうがいいですよ！！更衣室がないので、トイレで着替える感じなので、行きは直ぐ脱ぐだけの水着着用で行ったほうがベストです★天気は悪いでしたが、サンドバーも綺麗にみえました。ウミガメも何匹も見ることができました！お昼のランチのハンバーガーも女性のキャプテン（船長さん）が陽気に楽しそうにハンバーグを焼いていて、焼きたてをサンドしてくれます★とてもおいしかったです。シュノーケルも魚が沢山いてとても楽しかったです！！
帰りのバス１台に乗りきれず、次が来る迄、結構待たされ次の予約していたツアーに間に合わないかもということがあったので、帰りの送迎までしっかりしてほしかったです。ちなみに帰りのバスは水着のまま乗るので、クーラーがきいてて寒いです。タオルを余計に持って行きましょう！！

2.5-Hour Spirit of Aloha Waikiki Turtle Snorkel Tour with Cocktails from Hilton

The Turtles Invite You to Their Party

Reviewed by: Marisa

As soon as I walked on to the Spirit of Aloha boat, I knew it was going to be a good time. It wasn't too full, and it allowed for more room and comfort on the ride. Captain Dustin gave us a run down of the tour, and gave us free reign of the boat (less the Captain's chair of course). Masa helped us with our gear and Brad swam out to the snorkel spot with us. Yes, Brad knows where the turtles are. We saw tons of turtles, all with big personalities that were bigger than there shells. We twice got to see a turtle swim up to the surface! I never expected to see such humongous turtles. I named one of them Soldier because he was missing one flipper and the shell was pretty damaged, but he swam quite happily. I saw a pair of turtles even hold fins like buddies. It was too cute. The water was perfect and it was a beautiful day. We got back on the boat and Brad helped us with lunch. I highly recommend this snorkel cruise!

I was able to swim with sea turtles! ♪ ウミガメと泳げました♪

Reviewed by: おはな

I was moved when a sea turtle came by while I was snorkeling and I was able to swim close to it. The time I participated was such that I could barely keep my head above water, which was quite different from the sandbars I often see in photos, so I was a bit disappointed. I think it's better to check the timing before participating.

As for lunch, to be honest, it might not be very filling, so you may feel a bit unsatisfied. Overall, I don't have any major complaints, but I feel that the price is a bit high for this level of satisfaction.

シュノーケリング中にウミガメがやってきて近くで一緒に泳ぐことができ、感動しました(^^)
私が参加した時間は海で首がぎりぎり出せるくらいで、よく写真で見るサンドバーとはだいぶ違っていて残念でした。時間を調べてから参加された方がよろしいかと思います。
昼食ですが、正直あまりボリュームがないので物足りないかもしれません。全体的に、これといって不満はありませんが、この満足度でこの値段はちょっと高いような気もします。

It became a very good memory. とてもいい思い出になりました

Reviewed by: ともひろ

Going to Hawaii and meeting dolphins was a completely new experience for me. When I think of Hawaii, I think of the "beautiful ocean," and I had a strong desire to see "wild dolphins" in that stunning, vast sea, so I signed up for this option.

On the way to the harbor, the guide explained the diving location and the types of dolphins we would encounter. They also briefly talked about the city and its tourist attractions. The guide was Japanese, very cheerful, straightforward, and easy to talk to.

Once we arrived at the harbor, to avoid wasting time, a lecture was held on the bus. We learned how to put on life jackets and how to signal in case of an emergency. Thanks to the prior instructions, I was able to smoothly determine what to do upon arrival at the harbor. Additionally, I was asked on the bus whether I wanted to wear a wetsuit, which I learned could also serve as a warm layer, so I decided to wear it. My husband chose not to wear one, but since the weather was nice, he didn't feel cold afterward. There were no issues with sunburn either.

Upon arriving at the harbor and boarding a small boat, there were two staff members: one was a photographer and the other was the captain, both of whom spoke a bit of Japanese and were improving their language skills day by day. After a few minutes of sailing, we reached our destination and witnessed something large jumping out of the water. Yes, it was the dolphins we were looking for.

Not just one, but dozens of dolphins were leaping and showing off their presence while waiting for us. Excited, we immediately jumped into the sea. We had an agreement to always stay close to the guide and to signal immediately if anything happened.

When we dove in, it wasn't the dolphins coming to us; we were the ones going to find them, searching desperately underwater. The guide went ahead to the location where the dolphins were and signaled us, and we swam towards them. When we got close to the guide, we could see a group of dolphins (dozens of them) swimming gracefully. It was difficult to approach them, and we could only observe from about three meters away, swimming alongside them. Some lucky individuals had dolphins come close enough to touch, reaching out their hands.

According to the guide, there are times when the dolphins swim slowly and times when they swim quickly. After all, they are wild dolphins... We had two chances to dive and meet the dolphins! During the first attempt, I could barely keep up with the guide. When we reached the area where the dolphins were, they disappeared quickly, and I couldn't see them well. After returning to the boat and moving to a different location, we had a second chance! By the second attempt, I had gotten used to swimming with the fins on my feet. I was able to reach the guide more easily, increasing the number of times I saw the dolphins and allowing me to swim with them a lot. The dolphins also swam in groups, and we could see five or six at a time. While diving nearby, I could even hear the dolphins making sounds like "kyu-kyu." I was able to swim alongside them, matching their direction, and I was extremely satisfied!

ハワイへ行くこと、イルカに会いに行くこと、全て初めての体験でした。
ハワイと言えば「きれいな海」そんなきれいな広い海で「野生のイルカ」が見てみたいと言う強い気持ちを持ちこのオプションに申し込みました。

港へ行くまでは、バスの中でガイドさんが当日潜る海の場所やイルカの種類の説明。また、市内について(観光名所)を軽く話してくださいました。ガイドさんは日本人の方で、とても明るく、サバサバしていて、とても話しやすかったです。

港に着いてからモタモタし、時間を無駄にしてしまわない為に、バスの中で、レクチャーが行われました。
ライフジャケットの付け方、緊急時に備えてのサインの出し方。事前に教えてくださったお蔭で、港に着いてまずは何をしなくてはいけないのか自分で判断することができスムーズに行動ができました。それと、バスの中でウエットスーツを着るか着ないかを聞かれ、防寒着にもなると言うのも聞いたので私は着用しました。夫の方は着用はしませんでしたが、天気も良かった為もあり、終了後も寒がることなく過ごせました。日焼けの方も問題はなかったです。

港に着き、小型船に乗ると、スタッフさんがあと２人。その方々は外人の方で、１人はカメラマンさんで、もう１人は船長さんでした。片言の日本語を話し、日に日に日本語が上手になっているそうですｗ
船を走らせること、数分後、目的の場所に着くと、何か大きな物体が飛び跳ねるのを目の当たりに。そう、目的のイルカです。
一頭だけではなく数十頭ものイルカが代わる代わる回転しながら飛び跳ね存在感をアピールして私たちを待っていました。
テンションマックスの私たちはすぐさま海へ。
ここでの約束として、常に団体行動としてガイドさんのそばから離れないこと。何かあったらすぐにサインを送ること。を守りながらイルカに会いにいきました。
潜って見ると、イルカが会いに来てくれるのではなく、私たちがイルカに会いに行くというスタンスで、必死に海の中を探し回りました。また、ガイドさんが先にイルカのいる位置まで行ってくれ、私たちに合図をし、私たちはガイドさん目がけて常に泳いでいました。
ガイドさんのそばに行くとイルカの集団(何十頭)が優雅に泳いでいるのを目にできました。近づくことは難しく３メートルぐらい離れた位置で見れて、一緒に泳ぐという形でした。運がよく自分の近くまでイルカが来てくれたという方もいて、その方は手を伸ばせば触れれる距離だったそうです。
ガイドさん曰く、ゆっくり泳いでくれる時と、スピードが早い時があるみたいです。なんせ、野生のイルカなので。。。
イルカに会いに潜れるチャンスは２回！！一回目はガイドさんについていくのがやっと。イルカのいる場所まで行ってイルカが見えたと思ったらすぐにいなくなってしまい、ゆっくり、じっくりと見えませんでした。一度船に上がり、船の位置を移動してから２回目のチャレンジ！！２回目には足についているフィンで泳ぐことにも慣れてきました。すぐにガイドさんの所にも行けるようになり、イルカを見る回数も増え、たくさん一緒に泳ぐことができました。イルカの方も常に団体行動をしており、一回につき５、６頭も見れました。近くで潜っていると、「キュ～キュ～」と言うようなイルカの鳴き声まで耳にできるように。イルカの真上でイルカの泳ぐ向きに合わせ、並走して泳ぐことができ、とってもとっても大満足でした！

I went to Hawaii for my honeymoon.

The tour instructor was very friendly, kind, and cheerful. They congratulated us, saying, "Is it your honeymoon? Congratulations!" and we were able to enjoy ourselves throughout the bus ride.

The captain and the photographer were also very bright and energetic, and we had a truly enjoyable time☆

As for the dolphins, we encountered them surprisingly quickly after boarding. It seems that the dolphins in the area we were guided to tend to swim in groups, and we were able to see nearly 20 dolphins up close! I was really happy and moved because I never expected to see so many dolphins so close.

After that, the captain steered the boat so we could swim with the dolphins again, and we were able to swim near them several times.

Not only that, but I was also able to swim with sea turtles and colorful tropical fish, which made me very satisfied☆

I highly recommend this to everyone going to Hawaii. You will surely have a wonderful experience!

I also want to participate again when I go to Hawaii. Thank you very much.

肝心のイルカはというと、乗船してから驚くほどすぐに出会うことが出来ました。
案内していただいたエリアに生息するイルカは群れで行動する習慣があるそうで、
なんと20頭近くのイルカを間近で見ることが出来ました！
あんなに近くで、しかもあんなにたくさんのイルカに会えるとは思っていなかったので
本当に嬉しく、感激でした。

その後も、船長さんがイルカと再び泳げるよう舵を取ってくださり、何度か近くで泳ぐことが出来ました。

それだけでなく、ウミガメやカラフルな熱帯魚とも泳げて大満足です☆

ハワイに行かれる皆さんにぜひぜひお勧めしたいです。

Amidst the busy weather of sunny, cloudy, and rainy spells throughout the morning, I participated in the morning plan.

We were picked up by a shared bus in front of each hotel. Our hotel received an early pickup, and I almost ended up being late because I was relaxing in the room, thinking it was just Hawaiian time (sweat).

We switched to a boat at the harbor. On that day, there were two boats, the Blue Boat and the Green Boat. The guide on the Blue Boat was a Japanese woman named Izumi. The captain and all the staff were women, creating a vibrant atmosphere. All the customers were Japanese, mostly couples and families, and everyone was calm and composed, which was nice (I’m not good with noisy environments…).
With a welcome drink and mini croissants or donuts, we felt relaxed both mentally and physically.

During the turtle watching, the current was too strong, and we couldn’t see any turtles. What a shame...

We quickly shifted our mood and moved to the sandbar. The sandbar was about knee-deep due to the tides, but it was truly amazing to be standing in the ocean while being out at sea. The scenery was wonderful and felt great. The water was surprisingly cold, but that’s just nature, so there’s nothing to be done about it.
If you ask the staff, they will take plenty of photos for you. However, be careful as cameras without waterproof features cannot be taken off the boat. It seems you can pay $45 for individual DVD shooting, so if it’s a honeymoon trip, I think it would be a good idea to request that.

Then came our main goal: snorkeling! While there weren’t colorful fish like in Okinawa, friendly turtles came and swam with us one after another. When I spotted a turtle napping among the reef, I felt like diving down even though I was wearing a snorkel. Sometimes, they almost bumped into me, and I thought, “Whoa!” (since touching them incurs a fine), it was truly a dreamy moment. I wished I could stay in the water forever.

After that, we got back on the boat for a light snack time. There were croissant sandwiches, salads, fruits, chocolates, cookies, and various drinks. The croissant sandwich was incredibly delicious. They said, “You can have as many as you want!” When it started to rain and I was cold and shivering, a hot coffee was the best thing ever.

When we returned to the hotel, it was still around 2 PM, so we could either go shopping or relax in Waikiki. Since we had a short stay, it was the right choice to use the morning plan effectively.

If I get the chance, I would definitely participate again. I want to see the shallow waters up to my ankles and the clear blue sea!

朝から晴れたり曇ったり雨降ったりの忙しい天気の中、午前プランに参加しました。

乗合バスで各ホテル前からピックアップ。我々のホテルには約束の時間より早めのお迎えでした。どうせハワイ時間だろうと部屋でのんびりしててうっかり遅れるところでした（汗）。

ハーバーで船に乗り換え。この日はブルー船とグリーン船の二隻でした。こちらのブルー船のガイドは日本人のイズミさん。キャプテンもスタッフも全員女性で華やかでした。お客さんは全員日本人でカップルやファミリーが多く、みなさん大人しく落ち着いてて良い感じ。（騒がしいのが苦手なので…。）
ウエルカムドリンクとミニクロワッサンorドーナッツで、気持ちも体もリラックス～。

カメさんウォッチングでは、潮の流れが速すぎてカメさんに会えませんでした。
残念。。。

気持ちを切り替え早々にサンドバーへ移動。サンドバーは潮の関係でひざ下位まであったけど、沖にいるのに海の中に立ててるなんて本当に不思議。景色も素晴らしく気持ちい～い。思いのほか水が冷たかったけど、それは自然のものですもの。しょうがないですね。
写真もスタッフに頼むとジャンジャン写してくださいます。ただ、防水機能のないカメラは船から持って出れないのでそこんとこ注意ですね。45ドル払うと個別にDVD用の撮影もして下さるようなので、新婚旅行とかだったらお願いした方が良いと思います。

それから、私達の一番の目的だったシュノーケリング！沖縄の海のようなカラフルなお魚達はいなかったけど、人懐っこいカメさん達が入れ替わり立ち代わり一緒に泳いでくれましたよ。リーフにまぎれて昼寝してるカメさんとか見つけると、シュノーケルつけてるのに潜ってしまいたくなったり。時にはあちらからぶつかりそうになって「おっと！」って感じになったりして（触ると罰金だもんね）、それはそれは夢のようなひとときでした。ずーっと水の中にいたかったなぁ。

その後は船に上がって軽食タイム。クロワッサンサンドやサラダ、フルーツやチョコやクッキー、ドリンクもいろいろありました。クロワッサンサンド、めっちゃおいしかったー。「おかわり自由よ！」とのことでした。雨が降ってきて濡れた体で寒くて凍えそうな中、ホットコーヒーが最高にうれしかったです。

ホテルに帰りついてもまだ14時くらいだったので、その後ショッピングに行くもよし、ワイキキでのんびりするもよし。滞在日数が少ない私達、一日が有効に使えるので午前プランで正解でした。

機会があったらぜひリベンジ参加します。足首までの浅さ＆快晴の海を見てみたい～！

Be fully prepared for sun protection! 日焼け対策は万全に！

Reviewed by: せんたい

I was very satisfied.
The sandbar was disappointing as it was only knee-deep and didn't reach the land.
I was able to see many sea turtles and forgot to make a wish while watching them.
The snorkeling was beautiful with tropical fish gathering around.
I also enjoyed a delicious hamburger for lunch.

However, the sunburn afterward was quite severe...
For those who are going, make sure to take thorough sun protection measures.

I would definitely like to participate again if I have the opportunity next time.

大満足です。
サンドバーは、膝下ぐらいで陸にはなっておらず残念でした。
海亀はたくさん見ることができました、願い事を忘れてみていました。
シュノーケリングは、熱帯魚等が集まって綺麗でした。
お昼のハンバーガーもおいしくいただきました。

ただ、その後の日焼けが凄く大変でしたが・・・
これから行かれる方は、日焼け止め対策は万全にしましょう。

次回も機会があればぜひ参加したいと思います。

The atmosphere is amazing! 雰囲気最高！

Reviewed by: kamoleo

I participated in mid-December 2013. Since Heaven's Beach was fully booked, I chose this one, and I'm glad I did. The atmosphere was great, the hamburgers were delicious, and I had a wonderful time. The staff were all bright and friendly, and the captain was delightful.

I checked the low tide times and made a reservation, but due to the timing, the sandbar was shallow and the water was up to my ankles, so I couldn't see the beach. It's unfortunate, but there's nothing that can be done about it.

I encountered many turtles from the boat, and after getting excited, I went snorkeling. There were fewer fish than I expected, but I still got to see turtles while snorkeling.

I definitely recommend participating and enjoying it to the fullest!

2013年12月中旬に参加しました。
天国の海が満席だったため、こちらにしましたが、とても雰囲気は良いし、ハンバーガーは美味しいし、参加して良かったと思います。スタッフはみな明るくフレンドリーで、キャプテンも愉快。楽しい時間を過ごせました。
干潮の時刻を調べて予約しましたが、時期が悪かったため、サンドバーは浅くてもくるぶしまで水があり、砂浜を見ることはできませんでした。仕方がないですが、それが残念。
船上からたくさんのカメに出会え、テンションのあがったところで、シュノーケル。期待していたよりはお魚は少なかったですが、シュノーケルでもカメと出会えました。
是非参加して、存分に楽しんでください。

プライベートチャーター　ケアラケクア湾シュノーケリング+イルカウォッチングツアー！GoProレンタルあり＜午前／日本語ガイド＞

I am very satisfied! 大満足です！

Reviewed by: ごまさん

It was our first time on the Big Island for our honeymoon, and while researching about swimming with dolphins, I came across this tour. After reading other people's reviews, I decided to participate, and I was really impressed by how considerate they were towards my husband, who was worried about seasickness. It made me feel very reassured. Above all, our guide Daisuke's passion for the dolphins was truly strong! His feelings were contagious, and thanks to him, I understood the meaning of "quality over quantity." We were able to see the dolphins up close, and both my husband and I were extremely satisfied. The captain was friendly and fun, and it was great how he frequently checked in with us. If we ever go back to Hawaii, we would definitely like to do this again.

新婚旅行で初めてのハワイ島だったのですが、イルカと泳げると聞いて調べていたところこのツアーに出会いました。他の方の口コミを見て参加を決めましたが、船酔いが心配だった彼をすごく気遣ってくださり、とても安心できました。何より、ガイドのダイスケさんのイルカへの気持ちがほんとうに強い！その気持ちがこっちにも伝わって、「数よりも距離」の意味がダイスケさんのおかげでわかりました。あんなに近くでイルカを見ることができ、夫婦ともに大満足です。キャプテンも気さくで楽しく、声をよくかけてくれたのがよかったです。またハワイに行くことがあれば、ぜひお願いしたいです。

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＞

Absolutely beautiful! 最高にきれい！

Reviewed by: ヨシミヤ

Thoughts on participating in this tour:
1. There are times when you find yourself surrounded by foreigners, which can feel a bit uncomfortable.
2. I dived three times in total, but during the third dive, the water was deeper, and I couldn't see the beautiful underwater scenery as well. By the second dive, I was quite tired, so I was already full from diving.

Although I wrote some not-so-fun things above, the beauty of the Hawaiian sea during the first and second dives, especially the first dive, is amazing if the weather is good! You can see fish up close, and the coral is right in front of you!
Also, even if you can't speak English, one of the guides can speak some Japanese, so you don't have to worry too much. However, the explanations about the locations are given on printed materials beforehand, and I was a bit disappointed that I couldn't understand the live explanations.
One thing I want to caution participants about is that before going out to sea, you will go to the restroom, but it takes quite a while to get back to the restroom from there. Also, there are times when you accidentally swallow seawater while snorkeling, and in that case, you might end up drinking a lot of water.
So, you might have trouble finding a restroom.

このツアーに参加して思ったこと
１、周りが外人だらけになる場合があり肩身が狭いことが結構あります。
２、計３回ダイブしましたが、三回目は海の震度が深い場所でそれほど綺麗な海の中を見ることができませんでした。そして二回目以降は結構疲れているので海にもぐるのはもうお腹いっぱいでした。

上記にはあまり楽しくないようなことを書きましたが、ハワイの海の綺麗さは一回目と二回目のダイブ、特に一回目のダイブは天気が良ければ最高です！！
魚は近くで見れるし、サンゴも目の前！
また、英語がしゃべれなくてもガイドの一人は多少の日本語も喋れるのでそれほど深く考える必要はありません。ただ、場所の説明などは事前にプリントしたもので配られるますが、生の声での説明がわからないのでそこだけ残念でした。
ただ参加する人に注意しておきたいことは、海に出る前にトイレに行きますが、そこからトイレの場所に戻るまで相当時間がかかるのと、シュノーケリング中に間違って海水を飲むことがあり、その場合に水を飲むことが多いです。
なのでトイレに困るかもしれません。

Thoroughly enjoyed. たっぷり堪能

Reviewed by: ハネムナー

I couldn't see the sand, but the ocean was really beautiful. The captain was funny and entertaining! Since we wore life jackets while snorkeling, we could enjoy even the deeper areas with peace of mind. My husband, who isn't very good at swimming, also enjoyed peeking into the water the whole time. The weather was great, and the scenery was perfect. It got a bit chilly at the end, so it was a good idea to bring a hoodie.

砂は見えませんでしたが、海がとってもキレイでした。キャプテンがひょうきんで面白いです！シュノーケルはライフジャケットを着用するので、少し深いところも安心して楽しめます。泳ぎがそこまで得意ではない主人も、ずっと海の中を覗いて楽しんでました。お天気がよくて、景色もバッチリでした。最後少し寒かったので、パーカーを持っていて正解でした。

Snorkeling with sea turtles ウミガメとシュノーケリング

Reviewed by: yoshi

I was able to see five sea turtles during the sea turtle watching, and I felt lucky to see a rare one, even though they were a bit far away. After enjoying beach volleyball and taking photos at the sandbar, as soon as we returned to the boat to prepare for snorkeling, a sea turtle approached us. Did it come closer on its own? It got so close that I could touch it, but the crew informed us that we shouldn't touch the sea turtles as they are protected. I was thrilled by the close encounter.

During snorkeling, we swam back and forth along the boundary of the coral reef and the ocean floor for about 30 minutes, and I was able to see many beautiful fish. I was also excited to see a sea turtle resting among the coral. After finishing snorkeling and getting closer to the boat, three more sea turtles came within touching distance, so I hurriedly dove in and was able to see them right in front of me. The sea turtles didn't seem afraid of people; it felt like they were coming to see us.

One person on the same boat got bitten on the foot by a sea turtle. It was a small wound, but the crew quickly took care of it, which was great. Before we got off at the sandbar, we were warned that if a sea turtle approached, we should not wave our fingers, as it might mistake them for food and bite. At that time, I thought it was just a funny joke from the humorous crew, but it turned out to be a real situation. The crew was very funny, and I hope to join the same crew's tour again. Thank you for a wonderful time!

ウミガメウオッチングでは５匹見ることが出来ましたが離れているため、珍しいウミガメ見ることが出来たラッキー。まあこんなもんかなと思いました。サンドバーでのビーチバレーや写真撮影で楽しんだ後、シュノーケリングの準備のためボートに戻ったとたんウミガメの接近、ウミガメの方から近づいてきた?。数センチの距離でタッチ出来るので触ろうとしましたがクルーからウミガメは保護されているため触っちゃだめとのこと。あまりにも近距離での遭遇に感激。シュノーケリングでは珊瑚礁と海底の境界に沿って往復３０分程度でしたがきれいな魚をたくさん見ることが出来、珊瑚礁の中でウミガメがやすんでいるところも見ることが出来て感激でした。シュノーケリングが終わりボートまで近づいたらたらまたウミガメがタッチ出来る距離まで３匹近づいて来たので慌てて潜り目の前で見ることが出来ました。ウミガメは人を怖がらない、ウミガメが人を見に来た?・・・そんな感じ。同じボートに乗った人がウミガメに足をかまれました。小さな傷でしたがクルーがすぐ手当てしてくれよかったです。サンドバーに降りる前、ウミガメが近づいて来たら、指を出して振るとウミガメがえさと勘違してかまれるとの注意がありましたがそのときはひょうきんなクルーの話で冗談と思いましたがまさかの事態。クルーの方もとてもユーモラスでまた同じクルーのツアーに参加できたらと思います。楽しい時をありがとうございました。

My husband and I had a super sensational time. We loved the water splashing on us and seeing the spectacular coastline was so amazing. My husband loved going under the waterfall and getting drenched so much fun and going in close to look inside a cave. Crew were exceptional as safety was their main goal and the food was delicious. Highly recommend it to anyone.
