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 very satisfied, but I got tired from sitting in the same position for a long time. 大変満足、でも同じ姿勢で座り続けるのが疲れました

Reviewed by: みーや

I was able to fully enjoy the charm of the sea and nature on the Big Island. I chose this tour with the goal of snorkeling at Kealakekua Bay, and the round trip to the bay was not just a simple transfer; there were many enjoyable experiences along the way. On the way there, we spotted a pod of dolphins right after leaving the marina, and then we accelerated and headed south. Just when I thought we were going quite far offshore, we were guided to a group of whales. It was my first experience seeing whales up close. The boat was at a height where I could almost touch the water with my fingertips, so even though we were on the boat, the dolphins and whales were quite close. After that, we arrived at Kealakekua Bay. Other tour boats had already arrived, and there were quite a few people there. Those imagining a private swimming experience in a less crowded sea might be disappointed, but I appreciated having people around, as it allowed me to swim comfortably even in deeper areas without feeling nervous. Looking underwater, I could see the seafloor sloping from shallow to deep like a cliff, which was clear and very beautiful. However, it was quite cold even though it was August. Staying in the water for a long time might be a bit tough. When we returned to the boat, we were served lunch, which included drinks, cookies, potato chips, sandwiches, and freshly cut pineapple. The portions weren't very large, so those with big appetites might want to bring their own food. There was a little time to swim after lunch, but some people chose to rest on the boat instead. On the way back, unlike the trip there, we headed north while closely observing the coastline. Along the way, we observed the rugged terrain typical of the Big Island from the sea, and enjoyed views of Kahalu'u Beach Park and the city of Kona as we made our way to the harbor. After experiencing some sudden accelerations and turns, we said our final goodbyes to the pod of dolphins and landed back at the marina. Since all the explanations were in English, it was difficult to understand everything. However, I found that asking questions in my limited English and engaging in some communication helped the crew take care of us better. I think it's better to be proactive in conversation rather than staying silent. I was very satisfied when we disembarked, but since I had been holding the same position for a long time, I felt tired afterward. I realized that it’s also necessary to intentionally change positions and stretch on the boat.

ハワイ島の海と自然の魅力を満喫できました。ケアラケクア湾でシュノーケルするのが目的でこのツアーを選んだのですが、湾までの往復も単なる移動ではなく色々なことが楽しめました。行きはマリーナを出てすぐのところでイルカの群れを見学し、その後は加速して進路を南へ。ずいぶん沖合を南下していると思ったら、クジラの群れの所まで案内してくれました。至近距離でクジラを見るのは初めての体験です。手を伸ばせば水面に指先が入るくらいの高さのボートなので、船上からとはいえ、イルカやクジラがかなり近いです。そしてその後にケアラケクア湾に到着。他のツアーの船も既に到着していて、先客がそれなりにいます。人の少ない海で貸切状態で泳ぐのを想像している人はがっかりするかもしれませんが、私は周囲に人がいてくれるので、深いところでも安心して泳ぐことができ、緊張せずに楽しめ良かったです。水中を眺めていると、浅いところから深いところに向けて海底が崖のようになっているのが、遠くまでクリアに見え、とても幻想的で美しかったです。ただ8月なのに、かなり寒くなって
きます。長時間ずっと水中にいるのは少々つらいかもしれません。船上に戻ると、飲み物、クッキー、ポテトチップ、サンドイッチ、その場でカットしたパイナップルというランチが出ました。量はそれほど多くありませんので、大食いの人は持参の食料が必要かもしれないと思いました。食後も少し泳ぐ時間がありますが、泳がず船上で休んでいる人もいました。そして帰路は、行きと異なり、海岸線を間近に見ながら出発地点へと北上します。途中、溶岩地帯ではハワイ島らしいゴツゴツとした地形を海上から観察したり、カハルウビーチパークやコナの市街地を眺めつつ、港を目指します。途中、急加速したり、旋回したり曲芸航行のような体験をした後、イルカの群れに最後のお別れをして、マリーナに上陸です。説明が全部英語だったので、内容をすべて理解するのは難しかったです。ただつたない英語でもこちらから質問をしたり、ある程度のコミュニケーションを取った方が、クルーも色々と面倒を見てくれます。黙っているより積極的に対話を心がけるのが良いと思いました。とても満足して港に降り立ちましたが、ずっと同じ姿勢で踏ん張っていたので、あとから疲れが出てきました。船上で、意図的に姿勢を変えたり、体をほぐしたりすることも必要だなと思いました。

Snorkeling was my first experience with too many people lined up for it. When I initially canceled, the refund process was slow, and even after contacting them, it took a week to get a response, which left me feeling distrustful.

シュノーケリングは人数が多すぎて列になってのシュノーケリング
初めてでした。
いったんキャンセルしたさいも返金手続きが遅くご連絡しても1週間連絡遅れ不信感いだきました。

We apologize for the time taken when your cancellation was processed. It took a little longer to investigate because you selected a different card than the one registered. We will strive to improve our response time in the future. Thank you for your valuable feedback.

この度はキャンセルされた際にお時間を頂戴しまして申し訳ございませんでした。ご登録時のカードとは別のカードをご選択されたため、お調べするのに少々お時間を要してしまいました。
今後は迅速にご回答差し上げるよう改善に努めさせていただきます。貴重なご意見をありがとうございました。

Paradise of Sea Turtles ウミガメの楽園

Reviewed by: わいわいファミリ―2013/9/05

I experienced snorkeling for the first time at Sandbar. The weather in Waikiki was cloudy, but it was incredibly sunny at the location. It truly felt like a paradise. When I got off the boat, the coral reef made it a bit painful to walk barefoot, so I recommend wearing reef shoes. We were able to see sea turtles up close, and the kids were thrilled. The food was also very delicious. The staff was kind and it was a lot of fun. I would love to participate again with my family. I highly recommend it!

初めてサンドバ―にて、シュノ―ケリングを体験しました。ワイキキでは天気が曇っていましたが、現地はすごい晴天でした。本当に天国の海という言葉がぴったりな所でした。船からおりてみると、サンゴ礁でできているので、素足だと少し痛かったです。リ―フシュ―ズを履くことをおすすめです。ウミガメも、近くで見れて子供達も、大喜びでした。食事もとっても美味しくてよかったです。スタッフの方も親切で楽しかっタです。また家族で参加したいです。是非、超お勧めです。

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>

So much fun!! 楽しい!!

Reviewed by: 2013.9.3

The sandbar was about knee-deep, but since I had researched it in advance, it was no problem! I had a great time playing balance games on the board and splashing water with the staff.

The snacks were delicious and satisfying!

During snorkeling, a turtle swam right past me! I was surprised by how close it was. I was hesitant about snorkeling because I'm scared of the ocean, but I held onto my friend and set off. Along the way, I was able to grab onto a rescue float that the staff had, which made me feel safe and allowed me to enjoy it.

I definitely want to participate again!

サンドバーは膝下くらいの深さでしたが、事前に調べていたので問題なし!
スタッフの方と、ボードでバランスゲームしたり水のかけあいをしたりとても楽しく過ごすことができました。

軽食も美味しくて満足!!

シュノーケリングでは亀が真横を通り抜ける!
あまりの近さにびっくりしました。
海が怖いのでシュノーケリング迷いましたが、友達に掴まって出発。
途中で、スタッフの方が持っていた救助用?の浮きグッズにも捕まらせてもらって安心して楽しむことが出来ました。

また是非参加したいです!!

I was able to see sea turtles, and the sandbar was really beautiful (*^^*). The waves were higher than I imagined, but it can't be helped. If you're particular about that, it might be a good idea to check the timing for those conditions!

Oahu Spinner Dolphin Tour on the Waianae Coast with Snorkeling, Lunch & Hotel Transportation

Amazing!!

Reviewed by: salejo

Mandy & Ali were great guides during the entire excursion. We arrived at our destination to pick our food options and grab our snorkeling gear. No restroom on the boat so please go before getting on the boat! You can bring your own drink & snack on the boat since lunch won't be til afterwards. We swam w/ spinner dolphins at our 1st spot. It was so amazing to see the baby dolphins! We explored the reef at our 2nd spot, which had so many different kinds of fishes. Ali swam to us w/ a starfish & other things for pictures & even explained to us what we were holding. After this, they took us out to see the spotted dolphins (Hawaiian name "kiko"). There were sooo many of them riding our waves, swimming under the boat, & flipping in the air. It was so amazing to watch. They explained they were hunting & they hardly see these dolphins. Afterwards, you go back to eat lunch then head back to your hotel. This was the highlight of my trip & I plan to do this again when I come back!

I was able to meet a sea turtle, but... ウミガメに会えたが

Reviewed by: 伊達政宗

I used this service with my elderly parents and my family of three. We were able to see manta rays and sea turtles, but I couldn't understand the guide's fast-paced explanations, and I would like to request a bit more consideration for the users. It may be routine work for them, but I hope for a more professional approach.

During snorkeling, we were able to see many fish, but the time was short and it ended in no time. I was also expecting a sandbar as advertised, but there was surprisingly a lot of water, which was a bit disappointing.

高齢の両親と家族3人で利用しました。マンタとウミガメには会えましたが、ガイドの早口な説明は何を言っているのか理解できず、もう少し利用者に配慮をお願いしたいと思いました。彼らにはルーチンワークなのでしょうがないのかもしれませんが、プロフェッショナルな対応を望みます。
シュノーケリングでは沢山の魚を見ることが出来ましたが、時間が短くあっという間に終わってしまいました。
また、広告にあるようなサンドバーを期待していましたが、以外と水が多くて少しがっかりしました。

Thank you very much for using our activities. Please understand that the water level at the sandbar may change depending on the conditions of the day, and there may be times when we are unable to provide the desired services. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused by insufficient guidance from our staff. We appreciate your valuable feedback and will strive to improve in the future. Thank you for your post.

この度は弊社アクティビティをご利用いただき誠にありがとうございます。サンドバーの水位は、当日の状況により変化いたしますため、ご希望のサービスをご提供出来ない場合もございますことご理解いただければ幸いです。ガイドのご案内が不十分でお客様にご迷惑をおかけしました事、深くお詫び申し上げます。お客様からの貴重なご意見として受けとめ、今後の改善に努めさせていただきます。ご投稿ありがとうございました。

A sea turtle brushed against my arm! 海がめが腕をかすって!

Reviewed by: さとぴん

This was my first time participating with Captain Bruce, and the temperature adjustment in the shuttle's air conditioning was excellent. On the boat, we spent time barefoot, and it was very clean. The meals were also well-prepared.

Moreover, the location on the water was outstanding, making it enjoyable and safe even for children. The sea turtles swam around the boat multiple times, providing plenty of photo opportunities, and at times, they even brushed past us!

My elementary and high school kids said this was the highlight of their trip to Hawaii.

I highly recommend it!

今回、キャプテン・ブルース初参加でしたが
送迎の車のエアコンの温度調整もとてもよく
、船上は裸足で過ごしますがとても清潔。
お食事もキチンとしていました。

それから、何より海上の位置は抜群で子供でも
楽しめて安全。
海がめは何度も船の周りを行ったり来たり・・・
シャッターチャンスも沢山有り、時には腕をかすって
通り抜けて行くことも!

何しろ小学生と高校生の子供達はハワイ旅行で一番
思い出に残ったと話していました。

是非是非、お勧めです!

I was able to join a wonderful tour on my first visit to the Big Island of Hawaii. I never expected to see dolphins so up close! Captain Nawa and Daisuke's teamwork really helped everyone relax, and we had a great time for several hours. I also requested transportation this time, and I think my nephews, who joined me, were satisfied as Daisuke shared many stories about dolphins during the car ride.

I definitely want to participate again the next time I go to the Big Island!

初めてのハワイ島でステキなツアーに参加出来ました。
まさか、あんなに近くでイルカちゃんを見ることが出来るとは思っていませんでした。
縄田キャプテンとダイスケくんのチームワーク、そして参加者をリラックスさせてくれて、数時間楽しむことができました。
今回送迎もお願いしましたが、車の中でもダイスケくんからイルカの話をたくさん聞いて、一緒に参加した甥っ子たちも満足だったと思います。

It was too windy to go to Molokini so the boat took us to coral gardens. The staff was very friendly, underwater cameras available to rent for only 30$ with your pictures burned onto a cd for free. The lunch was very yummy and the boat was nicer than some of the others. I would recommend this snorkeling trip over others.

Family trip with 3 teenage boys. Everyone loved it. Water slides were a fun addition. Good breakfast and lunch including vegetarian options. Snuba on trip was not as fulfilling. Overpriced ($69 additional to cruise charge) and too short(30mins). For the price, they should have included that free with the cruise as others do. Otherwise, great trip. Thanks~

Four Winds Afternoon Snorkel Cruise & Turtle Watching Tour with Taco Bar Lunch

Afternoon snorkel WILL be Coral Gardens

Reviewed by: Michele

Correction: There have only been TWO afternoon snorkels in YEARS to Molokini. Due to the winds, they don't go out there in the afternoon. Coral Gardens is in a very windy location. Be prepared to be bopped up and down. A LOT. A much better location where you can see so many more different varieties of fish, and it won't cost you a dime, is Honokahua Bay. Northwest area. The coral is breathtaking, many many more beautiful colored fish to see. Turtles are there so you can snorkel with them as well.

If we got to do-over, our group voted to snorkel on our own in Honokahua Bay. The "glassbottom" portion of the catamaran was closed, so forget it. The lunch they cooked was awesome! But you can get an awesome lunch at any restaurant,right?

Skip the Snuba. Waste of money.

Not impressed with the views from this harbor. Pick a snorkel that departs from the northwest for better island views.

Everyone in the group smiled! 参加者みんなが笑顔になりました♪

Reviewed by: Tomomi

I participated on August 25th. As Mr. Nawata cheerfully said, "Dolphins are natural creatures, so there's no 100% guarantee, but we will do our best!" we entered the water at just the right moment to see many dolphins, and when they disappeared, we boarded the boat again. He also created many opportunities by saying, "This way!" while observing their movements.

The staff members were wonderful. I was very impressed by their proactive support for elderly participants and children. They made sure each participant felt satisfied by bringing us close to the dolphins, saying things like, "You were really close just now, [Name]!" The teamwork was outstanding, with Maddy on the boat loudly informing us, "They are coming toward us from 20 meters away." It was heartwarming to see how much they love dolphins and enjoy their work, conveying their desire for participants to experience this joy.

Meeting so many dolphins up close felt like a dream.

It was so much fun that I participated again during my stay. Mr. Nawata mentioned, "The last time was so great, so don't expect too much this time," but the second time exceeded the first! Right beneath us, a pod of 5 to 6 dolphins danced multiple times. At one point, our swim guide Daisuke joined in on the dolphins' play. It was a very happy sight to witness.

The boat swaying felt like an attraction and was enjoyable, but for those who are not confident with even a little motion, I recommend taking motion sickness medication in advance. It's a wonderful opportunity, after all.

Thank you to everyone at Aloha Konas, all the fellow passengers, the dolphins, and the great nature of the Big Island for such a fun time. With heartfelt gratitude.

 8月25日に参加しました。「イルカは、自然の生き物だから100%はないけど、ウチは粘るよ~」と縄田さんが明るく笑顔でおっしゃっていた通り、イルカの動きをよんで「さあ、今!」と海に入り、いっぱいイルカに会って、いなくなると、再び乗船。また、動きを見て「こっちだよ」とたくさんの機会をつくってくださいます。

 素晴らしいのが、スタッフの方々。高齢の方や、お子さんを積極的にフォローする姿勢に、大変好感をもちました。また、参加者一人ひとりに、「〇〇さん、さっきすごく近くだったね」「〇〇さんも」とみんなが満足できるように、イルカの近くまで連れていってくださいます。チームワークも抜群で、船上からマディさんが「20m先からこっちに向かってきているよ」など大きな声で教えてくれます。そして、イルカが大好きで楽しんで仕事をしていて、参加者に「この楽しさをぜひ味わってもらいたい」という気持ちが伝わってくることを嬉しく思いました。
たくさんのイルカと、ものすごく近くで会って、夢のような時間でした。

 あまりに楽しかったので、滞在中に再び参加しました。縄田さんは、「前回が良すぎだったから、期待しすぎないでねー」とおっしゃっていましたが…、
2回目は1回目以上!
私たちが浮いている真下で、イルカが5~6頭の群れになって何回も踊って(?)いました。
途中からは、スイムガイドのダイスケくんもイルカたちの遊びに加わっていました。
見ていて、とても幸せな光景でした。

 船が揺れてアトラクションみたいで楽しいのですが、
少しでも揺れに自信がない方は、酔い止めの薬を事前に飲まれることを
おすすめします。せっかくの楽しい機会なので…。

 アロハコナーズの皆様、一緒に乗船した皆様、イルカちゃんたち、ハワイ島の大自然、
とても楽しい時間をありがとうございました。
心からの感謝をこめて。

I finally got to go on the tour I had been wanting to go on in July. Actually, my husband is 63 years old and I am 54, and I wasn't confident in my swimming skills, so I didn't plan to go snorkeling. However, I was overcome by the urge to try it, and I experienced it by myself. It was my first time in life! I'm glad I did it. As for the sandbar, I didn't check the moon's condition before going, so it was quite full, but I was satisfied. The sandwich was simple, but it was delicious!

行きたい行きたいと思っていたツアーに 7月にやっと行けました 実は主人は63歳 私は54歳で 泳ぎに自信が無い為 シュノーケリングはするつもりありませんでした でもやってみたい衝動にかられ 私だけ体験しました 人生初体験! やってよかったですサンドバーは 月の状態を調べて行った訳ではないので 結構満ちてましたが満足です サンドイッチもシンプルですが 美味しかったですよ

I encountered a sea turtle for the first time. On the way to the sandbar, the boat stopped at a point where sea turtles are known to be, but I could only see the head of something that looked like a turtle far off on the water's surface. The guide reassured me, saying, "There are better spots!" but to be honest, I was a bit anxious. However, when we arrived at the sandbar and went snorkeling, I was able to see cute sea turtles because there were homes for them among the coral reefs. I also encountered several types of fish. Even for first-timers, snorkeling was very reassuring as we all lined up, and the staff kept a watchful eye on us the whole time. There were also turtles swimming around the boat, allowing us to see them up close. I was thrilled when the captain noticed me with my camera and dove underwater to take great photos of the sea turtles. After that, we went back to the boat for a meal, and everything was delicious—beef, chicken, curry, pineapple, cookies, and juice—so much so that I went back for seconds multiple times. Since the sandbar coincided with a full moon, unfortunately, the water was up to my waist, but the color of the sea and the surrounding scenery were amazing, and my whole family was very satisfied. This tour was wonderful because the guide and all the staff made an effort to entertain the participants, and I felt glad to have joined. Sea turtles are the best, the sandbar is the best, thank you for a fun day!

 初めて、ウミガメに出会えました。 サンドバーを目指す途中にウミガメのいるポイントで船を止めて下さいましたが、遠くの水面にそれらしきモノの頭がちょっと見えただけでした。ガイドさんは、「もっといいポイントがあるから!」と安心させて下さいましたが、正直やや不安でした。 でも、サンドバーに着いて、シュノーケリングをしていると、サンゴ礁の間にウミガメさんのおうちがあるとかで、かわいいウミガメをしっかり見ることができました。 数種類の魚たちとも出会うこともできました。シュノーケルは、初めての方でも、みんなで列になり、スタッフさんたちがずーっと見守って下さっているので、とても安心して参加することができます。 また、船の周りをグルグル回ってくれる亀さんもいて、たっぷりと見ることができました。 船長さんがカメラを持っている私を見つけると、水中の潜ってウミガメの写真をバッチリ写して下さったのには感激でした。 その後、船に上がって食事になりますが、お肉のビーフやチキン、カレー、パイナップル、クッキー、ジュースなどどれも最高においしくて、何度もおかわりをしてしまいました。 サンドバーは満月の日に当たっていたので、残念ながら、腰くらいまでが水に浸かってしまう状態でしたが、海の水の色、周りの景色が素晴らしく、家族みんな大満足でした。 このツァーは、ガイドさん、スタッフさんのみんなが参加者を楽しませるようにサービスして下さるので、参加してよかったなと思いました。 ウミガメ最高、サンドバー最高、楽しい一日をありがとうございました。

Sea turtles are cute. ウミガメかわいい。

Reviewed by: 小林正幸

The sea in heaven was wonderfully beautiful. A sea turtle came close to the boat, and it was so cute. There were many corals for snorkeling, and I was very satisfied to see large fish and sea turtles in their nests. The barbecue was surprisingly delicious, especially the chicken. The guide was bright and cute, which was great. The only downside was that the sandbar was shallow, reaching about waist-deep near high tide. It must be best during low tide on a big tide. It was worth going.

天国の海は素晴らしく綺麗でした。船の近くにウミガメが寄ってきて、すごくかわいい。シュノーケリングもサンゴも多く大きな魚や、巣にいるウミガメも見れて大満足。バーベキュー期待外れに美味しい。特にチキンは美味。ガイドさん、明るくて可愛くてよかったです。難はサンドバーが満潮に近く浅くても腰下くらいまであったことです。大潮の干潮時が最高でしょうね。行く価値ありました。

Mysterious 不思議

Reviewed by: Kay

I have never been to such a wonderful place before. Being in the middle of the ocean felt very surreal. I was satisfied to enjoy it with my son. I wish we had more time for snorkeling. We were able to see even more tropical fish than at Hanauma Bay. It was a lot of fun! It became a great memory. The staff was friendly too! Next time, I want to join a wild dolphin tour.

今まで、こんな素敵な場所に行った事がありません。海の中にあって、とても不思議な気分でした。息子と2人で楽しむ事が出来て、満足しています。スノーケリングの時間がもっとあれば良かったなぁ、と思います。熱帯魚はハナウマベイに行くよりも、もっと見る事が出来ました。楽しかったです!良い思い出になりました。スタッフの方もフレンドリーでした!今度は野生のイルカツアーに参加したいです。

モロキニ島シュノーケリングクルーズ スヌーバ体験付きプランあり<英語ガイド/朝・昼食>

It's a bit difficult for children. 子どもにはちょっと難しい

Reviewed by: マハロッチ

We were excited to try snuba for the first time as a family of five, but the boat rocked quite a bit, and one of the kids ended up with severe seasickness, so we couldn't really enjoy it in the end.

Both my husband and I can speak some English, so we thought we would be fine without a Japanese guide. However, we couldn't keep up with the explanations and jokes about snuba due to the loud engine noise on the boat, and we regretted that decision.

The visibility of the fish wasn't as good as we had hoped, and we were imagining schools of fish around coral reefs like we saw in the Philippines, so it didn't reach the level of being impressive for us. I think it would have been the same with snuba. (However, there were participants who were amazed, so this is a subjective impression.)

Also, the seawater was quite cold, and we felt very chilly after getting back on the boat, so thick towels and warm clothing are essential.

On a positive note, we finally got to see a sea turtle from the boat towards the end, which was rewarding! It was adorable.

So, for us, the satisfaction level wasn't very high this time, but that doesn't mean the tour itself was bad.

The staff were really kind, cheerful, and cool, and they were considerate of our seasick daughter, which made our experience very pleasant. Other participants also seemed to be having a great time.

If you're not worried about English and seasickness, I think you'll definitely enjoy it!

スヌーバに初挑戦しようと張り切って家族5人で参加しましたが、船がかなり揺れたため、子どもの一人がひどい船酔いになってしまって、結局それどころではありませんでした。

夫も私もある程度の英語はできるし、日本語のガイドさんがいなくても大丈夫かな?と思って参加したのですが、スヌーバの説明やジョークなど、エンジンの音がうるさい船上では全くついていけず後悔しました。

期待したほどに魚影も濃くなく、フィリピンで見た様なサンゴ礁に群がる魚群を想像していた私たちにとっては、感動というレベルではありませんでした。
スヌーバでも、それは同じだったのではないかと思います。
(でも、参加者の中には、スゴイ!と感激している人もいました。これは主観的な感想なので、なんともいえません)

また海水が結構冷たくて、船に上がってからとても寒かったので、厚手のバスタオルや防寒着は必携です。

でも、ウミガメには、終わりがけにやっと船の上から会うことができたので、報われました♪可愛かったです。


今回、そんな訳で、私たちにとってはあまり満足度は高くありませんでしたが、ツアー自体が悪かったわけでは決してありません。

スタッフのみなさんは本当に親切で明るく恰好よく、船酔いした娘にも気遣ってくれたり、とても気持ちよく過ごすことができました。ほかの参加者もみんな楽しそうでした。

英語と船酔いに心配がない方であれば、きっと楽しめると思います!

ハワイ島 ケアラケクア湾 シュノーリングツアー <軽食付き/英語ガイド>

Mysterious!! 神秘的!!

Reviewed by: ロコボーイ

Traveling by speedboat was refreshing. The snorkeling was amazing, with the water being very clear and transparent. I was so engrossed in watching the fish that I lost track of time. I was thrilled to encounter dolphins. It was adorable to see a mother and baby dolphin surfacing for air at the same time.
Seeing the vastness of the Big Island of Hawaii from the sea made me feel like I was in a foreign land.

高速ボートでの移動は気持ちがよかったです。シュノーケルは水がとても綺麗で透き通っていました。時間を忘れるほど夢中に魚たちを見ていました。イルカにも遭遇して感動しました。親子のイルカが同時に息継ぎをする姿が可愛かったです。
広大なハワイ島を海から見て、外国を感じることができました。

野生のイルカウォッチング&シュノーケリングツアー <朝食・昼食付き>

I can recommend it for families with children. 子供連れにもオススメできます

Reviewed by: ハワイ島最高!

We participated as a family with our three children, aged 11, 8, and 5.

The snorkeling location was quite deep (over 10-15 meters?), and since our youngest child couldn't swim, we had some concerns. However, they provided children's life jackets, and with the floaties we brought, the kids were able to float and enjoy themselves. The older two were initially scared, but as they got used to it, they enjoyed snorkeling in the clear sea. The staff were also very friendly, and the freshly made hamburgers were delicious. We even got to see dolphins along the way, making it a very satisfying tour overall.

Since the boat ride to the snorkeling location is quite long, it's advisable for those prone to seasickness to take motion sickness medication beforehand (the older child got seasick). If you have small children, bringing floaties would enhance their enjoyment as well.

Despite a few challenges, it was a very enjoyable tour, and I can definitely recommend it for families.

11歳、8歳、5歳の3人の子供と家族で参加しました。

シュノーケリングする場所は結構深く(10~15m以上?)、
下の子供は泳ぐことができない為、多少不安もありましたが、
子供用のライフジャケットも完備されており、持参した浮き輪を使って
ぷかぷかと浮かんで楽しんでいました。
上の2人も最初は怖がっていましたが、慣れてくるとシュノーケルを使って
透き通った海を楽しんでいました。
スタッフの方も非常に親切で、焼き立てのハンバーガも美味しかったです。
途中イルカにも会うことができ、ツアーとしては非常に満足できるものでした。

シュノーケリングする場所まで結構乗船する為、船酔いする方は
酔い止めを必ず飲んでいった方が良いです。(上の子は酔いました)
また小さな子供がいるようであれば、浮き輪も持参した方が楽しめると
思います。

いろいろとありましたが、ツアーとしては非常に楽しめるもので
家族連れの方にも十分おすすめできます。

Reviewed by: tokuno

I couldn't walk on the sandbar because it was submerged in the sea. The water was about waist-deep. Moreover, since it was in the morning, the sea was cold! I went on a snorkeling tour last year, and I thought it would be warmer this time. However, I saw a sea turtle swimming near the boat, and I was able to see it up close while snorkeling, so this tour was great!

サンドバーが海に浸かって砂浜を歩くことはできなかったです。
だいたい腰くらいまでは海に入ってます。
しかも、午前中だったのか海が冷たい!!去年もシュノーケルのツアーに行きましたが、もっと温かいと思ってました。
でも、ウミガメが船の近くを泳いでて、近くで見れたしシューのーケルでもばっちり見えたので、今回のツアーは良かったです!

Thank you for participating in the Captain Bruce's Heaven on the Sea® tour the other day.

It sounds like you had many encounters with the happy sea turtles! Please come back to meet them again when you visit Hawaii.

I wonder what kind of expressions we will see at the sandbar next time?? I'm looking forward to it.

Also, if you feel a bit chilly after coming out of the water, please enjoy our warm drinks to help warm you up during the tour. We look forward to seeing you again.

幸せを運ぶウミガメとたくさん遭遇できたんですね♪ またハワイにお越しの際はカメさん達に会いに来てくださいね。

Snuba Tours of Kauai | Small-Group Guided Beach SNUBA Diving Tour at Lawai Beach

Best part of my Hawaiian vacation!!!

Reviewed by: Deserea

I cannot begin to express how amazing our Snuba experience was. The instructor was super friendly and you could tell he loved doing what he does. He was more than accommodating to questions and made sure you understood and had a wonderful experience. The dive itself was great. There were so many beautiful creatures to see. The only thing I would change is to have been out there longer! If you are debating on whether to do this or another activity, I would strongly recommend this one over anything else Kauai has to offer!
