I participated with my children (ages 13 and 10). Since it was a night activity, I was worried about bringing them along, but there were no issues at all. The size of the manta rays and their impressive presence right in front of us were incredible. We were very excited. The kids were also very satisfied. We would like to participate again next time. However, there is no detailed description of the meeting place (landmarks), so those gathering on-site need to be cautious. A truck towing a boat comes near the public restroom, but the tour name is not displayed, so you have to ask for information yourself. Additionally, while the tour description mentions drinks and snacks, none were provided. This needs to be corrected.
子供(13歳、10歳)を連れて参加しました。夜のアクティビティーだったので、子連れでは心配だったのですが、全く問題ありませんでした。
マンタの大きさと目の前に迫ってくる迫力は凄いの一言。とても興奮しました。
子供達も大満足。また、次回参加したいです。
ただ、集合場所が詳細(目印)の記載がないので、現地集合の人は注意が必要です。
公衆トイレ近くにボートを牽引したトラックが来ますが、ツアーの名称は表記されないので自分から声かけて聞くしか方法がありません。
また、ツアー内容に飲料、軽食の記載がありますが、提供はありませんでした。修正が必要ですね。

I participated on July 27.
The clarity of the water is amazing!
My partner can't swim at all, but it seemed fun just to float and snorkel.
The attentiveness of the Japanese staff was excellent, and I was able to enjoy myself with peace of mind.
At the second spot, we encountered a sea turtle.
Next time, I want to go during whale season.
7/27に参加しました。
何と言っても水の透明度がすごい!
相方は全く泳げませんが、
プカプカ浮いてシュノーケルするだけでも楽しそうでした。
日本人スタッフの気遣いがとてもよく、安心して楽しめました。
2か所目のポイントではウミガメにも遭遇しました。
次回はクジラの季節に行きたいと思います。

I was looking forward to participating in this tour on my first trip to Hawaii. However, I wasn't confident in my swimming skills, and when it came time to go snorkeling in deep water, I got scared and decided to stay close to the boat.
It was a bit lonely not being able to go with everyone, but I played with the sea turtles and thought that was a wonderful moment while I waited for everyone to return.
At that time, the captain asked me, "Why aren't you going?" When I replied, "Because I'm scared," he brought me a swim board and told me to hold onto it. Then, incredibly, he personally guided me to where everyone else was by pulling me along.
Thanks to him, I was able to see the coral reefs and the fish swimming around, and I was deeply moved! It became an unforgettable experience due to the captain's kind consideration.
初ハワイでこのツアーに参加することを楽しみにしていました。けれども泳ぎに自信がなく、いざシュノーケリングで足のつかない所に行くとなると怖気づいてしまい、ボートの近くで居残ることに。
みんなと一緒にいけないのはちょっぴりさみしいけど、ウミガメちゃんと戯れたりしていて、それもまた素敵なひとときと思って、みなが戻ってくるのを待っていました。
そのときキャプテンが「どうして行かないの?」と声をかけてくれたので、「こわいから」と答えたところ、スイムボードを持ってきてくれてそれに手をかけるよう言われました。それからなんとそれをキャプテン自ら引っぱってく皆がいるところまでガイドしてくれたのでした。
おかげでサンゴ礁や泳ぎ回る魚たちも見ることができ、大感激! キャプテンの親切な心くばりにより忘れられない体験となりました。

On this day, there were many participants, and three boats set out. After the boats departed, we first went to see sea turtles in the offshore waters, and if we were lucky, we might encounter manta rays. After that, we headed to the sandbar, but since I didn't plan to go snorkeling and just wanted to walk on the sandbar, I didn't bring my swimsuit, so I got wet up to my thighs during the 10 to 20 meters to the sandbar. It dries quickly, so it might not be necessary, but it's better to bring a swimsuit. After arriving at the sandbar, those who want to snorkel will do so in the outer sea, but it's also fine to stay on the sandbar. The morning tour is short, so even if you walk on the sandbar for a little while, it goes by quickly, and I recommend that. The scenery was amazing.
この日は参加者が多く船が3船でていました。 船が出発して、沖合の海でウミガメをまず見に行きますが、運が良ければマンタと出会えるそうです。その後、サンドバーに向かいますが、シュノーケリングをするつもりもなく、ただサンドバーを歩きたかったので水着は持って行きませんでしたのでサンドバーまでの10~20mの距離は股下まで濡れました。すぐ乾くので無くてもいいかも知れませんが、水着は持っていったほうがいいですね、サンドバーに到着後、シュノーケリングをする人はサンドバーの外側の海でやりますが、サンドバーに残っていてもOKです 午前のツアーは短いのでサンドバーを時間ない歩いてもアッと言うまなので私はそちらをお勧めします。 景色は最高でした。

I participated with my husband and our 9-year-old daughter. Since my husband speaks English, we decided on this affordable tour, but I think it’s fine even if you can’t speak difficult English, especially if you have snorkeling experience. However, we had to move to the port by ourselves from the tour reception desk.
My daughter, who gets motion sickness easily, took some anti-nausea medication beforehand, and thankfully, she didn’t get seasick. However, it was quite cold floating in the night sea (we participated in August). Even though she wore a long rash guard top and bottom, after floating for nearly 20 minutes and only seeing one manta ray in the distance, she started saying, “I’m cold; I want to get out!” While I was trying to calm her down, a group of five giant manta rays appeared! We forgot about the cold and were just captivated. It felt like we were floating in space. They swirled around us within reach. The staff were friendly and fun, and we had a wonderful experience unique to the Big Island of Hawaii.
夫と9歳の娘と3人で参加しました。夫が英語を話せるので、安いこちらのツアーに決めましたが、シュノーケル経験者の方なら特に難しい英語が話せなくても大丈夫だと思います。ただしツアー受付デスクからは自分達で港まで移動しなければいけません。
酔いやすい娘は、事前に酔い止めを飲ませまた効果か、船酔いはしませんでしたが、とにかく夜の海にずっと浮いてるために冷えます。(8月の参加で)上下ロングラッシュガードを着込んだにもかかわらず、20分近く浮いて、まだ1匹遠くにマンタを見ただけで、「寒くてもうあがりたい〜」と言い出す始末・・・。なんとかなだめていると、そこへ5匹の巨大マンタの群れが〜!!寒さも忘れてただただ見入ってしまいました。まるで宇宙に浮いてる感じです。クルクルと手の届くような位置で回ってくれました。スタッフも気さくで楽しくて、ハワイ島ならではのとてもいい経験が出来ました。
Thank you for choosing us as part of your trip while you are in Hawaii. We appreciate your business. We hope you will travel with us again soon. Mahalo, Sea Paradise!
あなたはハワイにいる間あなたの旅行の一部をあることが私たちをお選びいただき、アロハと感謝します。私達はあなたのビジネスを認める。私たちは、あなたがすぐに再び私たちと一緒に旅行に来ることを願っています。

We actually are a family with kids in their 20s but no option for that. We had a wonderful time. the weather was perfect and the water conditions were pretty clear. The turtles were magnificent but there was other wildlife as well--Spinner dolphins, Flying fish, etc. The cruise after the snorkeling was equally as fun. Our captain also had a great choice of music playing. The time went so fast--took the morning cruise which still left us the rest of the day for the beach. Would recommend this to anyone. My only precaution--if you have a anyone in your party with issues of climbing or would not be comfortable walking or sitting on the net of the catamaran you may not enjoy this. We loved it!

Recently, my mother, younger brother, and I (in our 20s) participated in this activity.
It was great to see the views of Waikiki while sailing. However, when we arrived at the snorkeling spot, the water was quite deep, and my mother and I felt very scared as soon as we entered the water. We ended up getting back on the boat in less than a minute. My brother, who has diving experience, enjoyed it until the end.
I thought I was prepared based on the experiences I read about, but I was surprised that the snorkeling was in a very deep area rather than a shallow one, and I questioned whether it was appropriate to only have a floatation device at that depth. There was no practice with life jackets or snorkeling, so it might be difficult for those who are trying it for the first time and are not familiar with the sensation. As a snorkeling beginner, I regretted not choosing a safer tour since it was a special trip. I also regret that I caused my mother to feel fear.
If you want to participate but are not confident in your swimming skills, I think you should consider this carefully. The ocean was very beautiful, so it might be a good option for those who just want to enjoy sailing.
先日、母・弟・私(20代)の3人で参加しました。
セーリングでワイキキの景色を見れるのはとても良かったです。
ですが、シュノーケルの場所まで到着した際はかなり水深があり 母と私は海に入った瞬間とても怖くなりました。。(1分も経たずに船へ上がってしまいました><)弟はダイビング経験がある為 最後まで楽しんでいましたが。
体験談を参考に参加したつもりでしたが、浅瀬の方ではなくかなり深い場所でのシュノーケルだったことやあの深さで浮き棒しかないのはどうかと思いました。。ライフジャケット、シュノーケルの練習等は無しでいきなり始まりますので 初めてで感覚が掴めない方には難しいかもしれません。シュノーケル初心者だからこそ、せっかくの旅行ですので、安全なツアーに参加すればよかったと思いました。母にも恐怖心を与えてしまったのも後悔です。。
もし泳ぎに自信がないけど参加したい、という方は考慮したほうが良いと思います。海はとってもきれいだったので、セーリングだけたのしみたい方にはいいかもしれません。
We sincerely apologize for the fact that you were unable to fully enjoy our activities. We are also very sorry to hear that it caused fear for your mother.
We do provide life jackets for rental, but it seems that many customers chose to participate without wearing them, and our guidance may not have been sufficient.
We will take your feedback into account for future improvements. Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts after your return home.
弊社アクティビティにて十分にお楽しみいただけなかったとの事、大変申し訳ございません。お母様へも恐怖心を与えてしまったようで誠に残念でございます。
ライフジャケットの貸出はしておりましたが、ライフジャケットを着用せず体験されるお客様も多く、ご案内が十分にされていなかったようです。
お客様からのご意見は、今後の改善に活かさせていただきます。ご帰国後の貴重なお時間を割いてのご投稿ありがとうございました。

My husband and I took this trip while on our honeymoon. We had a fantastic time and would highly recommend this trip to anyone! All equipment was provided as well as breakfast and lunch (great food!). The water was crystal clear and we were able to see turtles, just as promised. All of the crew were very friendly and helpful. Overall, great experience!
Aloha,
We appreciate your follow up. Congratulations on celebrating your honeymoon here in the islands. Snorkeling the crystal clear waters of Maui is a great way to celebrate. Thanks for highly recommending our trip to your friends and family. One of the reasons our food is so good, is because we own the kitchen which produces the food we serve, which affords us the opportunity to control the quality.. Our chefs select the freshest local produce and we cook the entrees right on the boat. There's nothing more important than exceptional service, and I;m glad my crew took great care of you! Thanks Again for joining us!

On the boat, they ask for your fin size and provide you with the appropriate ones. They also have snorkeling gear available. They lend you a type of life jacket that wraps around your waist (suitable for both children and adults), so you don’t need to bring your own goggles.
It takes about an hour to reach Cook's Tower by boat, and even though our family took motion sickness medication, we felt a bit queasy. The BBQ cheeseburgers were incredibly delicious, just as mentioned in other reviews! The breakfast muffins were tasty, reminiscent of Costco's.
This was my family's first time participating after visiting the Big Island six times, and we were more satisfied than with any other tour. The beauty of the ocean was amazing.
船の上で、フィンのサイズを聞いて、サイズにあったものを貸してくれます。シュノーケリング道具も。
浮き輪も腰に巻くタイプの(子供から大人まで)ライフジャケット(?)浮きを貸してくれるので、ゴーグルなどの持参も必要ないです。
クックの塔まで1時間くらい船に揺られるので、私たち家族は(酔い止め薬を飲んでいても)少し酔いました。
BBQのチーズバーガーは他の書き込み通り、とっても美味しかったです!朝食のマフィンはコストコのかな?って感じで美味しかったです。
6度目のハワイ島で、初参加でしたがどの観光よりも満足で、海の綺麗さが素晴らしかったです。

The day I participated was cloudy, with occasional rain, making it a bit chilly to enter the sea. I went to the meeting place, but there were no signs and no one who looked like they were part of the group... I felt anxious. Eventually, some people who seemed to be participants began to gather, and after some time, a person holding a sign arrived. I felt relieved... The guide spoke in English, so it might be difficult for those who are completely new to snorkeling. However, if you watch the movements of the people around you, you'll be fine. The sea turtles and fish were very beautiful! For those who are not good with the cold, it would be better on a hot day, but the wind from sailing after getting out of the sea can be chilly. I think it's a good idea to prepare long sleeves or a hoodie. If you are prone to seasickness or cannot swim, it might be better to avoid this activity.
参加した日は曇り空で、時々雨も降り、海に入るには少し肌寒い日でした。集合場所に行ったものの、看板もなく、それらしい人もいない…不安。そのうち参加者らしい人たちが集まり始め、その人たちと一緒にいると、時間を過ぎてから看板を持った人がやってきました。ホッとした…。ガイドは英語なので、シュノーケリングが全く初めての人には分かりにくいかも。でも周りの人たちの動きを見ていれば、大丈夫です。ウミガメ、魚たち、とてもきれいでした♪寒いのが苦手な方、暑い日なら良いのですが、海から上がった後のセーリングの風は体が冷えます。長袖やパーカーを用意しておくと良いと思います。船酔いしやすい方、泳げない方は避けたほうがいいかな。

It was my first dolphin tour on the Big Island. I had tried three times on Oahu, but I wasn't lucky with the weather, so this was my fourth attempt!
It was absolutely amazing!! From the moment we got in, we could see dolphins up close! Even without searching hard, dolphins were swimming nearby, and it was so moving! I could hear their sounds the whole time!
Compared to Oahu, the travel time on the boat was shorter, and we didn't have to get on and off the boat multiple times. Dolphins kept coming to the same spot, so it felt like we could see them the whole time we were swimming.
Even if you're not a strong swimmer, they lend you a noodle, and the guide, Daisuke, pulls you to the dolphins, so it's very reassuring! Daisuke's dolphin talks during the car ride were also a lot of fun and really added to the tour! (By a strange twist of fate, he even shared some local stories!)
I definitely want to go back to the Big Island for this tour again! Thank you, Captain and Daisuke!!
ハワイ島での初めてのイルカツアーでした。
これまでオアフ島で3回チャレンジしましたが、
なかなか良い日に恵まれず、今回4度目のリベンジ!
とにかくすごかったですっ!!
入った瞬間から間近にイルカが見れました!
その後も必死に探さなくてもすぐにイルカが近くに泳いでいて、感動しきりでした!
イルカの声もずっと聞こえていました!
オアフ島に比べ、船に乗って移動する時間も短く、
何度も船を乗り降りしなくても、同じ場所でどんどんイルカがやって来てくれたので、
泳いでいる間ずっと見れたという感じです。
泳ぎが苦手でもヌードルを貸してもらえますし、
ガイドのダイスケさんがイルカの所まで引っ張って行ってくれるので安心です!
行き帰りの車の中でのダイスケさんのイルカトークもとっても楽しく、

We participated as a couple in our 40s, with a child and my mother in her 70s who cannot speak English. The boat has two levels; the first floor has shaded areas and tables, but all the seats were "reserved," making it difficult to find a place to sit. We were the only Japanese family, and all announcements were in English. There was one men's restroom, one women's restroom, and one unisex restroom.
When we first arrived, there was a small breakfast buffet with about two types of muffin-like bread and fruit. Water, coffee, and soft drinks were free, but alcohol cost extra.
Right after departure, we were able to see a pod of dolphins swimming quite close to us, which was thrilling. There were no sea turtles, but flying fish were gliding through the air like birds, which was exciting! Upon reaching the snorkeling point, everyone gathered on the first floor for a detailed safety briefing about the snorkeling area. There seemed to be a class for those snorkeling for the first time. Unlike Japanese snorkeling tours, there was no selection of fins or goggles; it was self-service. Most people swam without lifeguards, so the number of lifeguards was limited, but there were long styrofoam rods that everyone seemed to hold onto while swimming.
For lunch, there was a buffet with bread, hamburgers, vegetables, and fruits, where we could take our favorite ingredients and make our own sandwiches. It was very delicious under the blue sky.
I thought we would arrive at the port by 12:30, but that was actually the end time for snorkeling. The water temperature was not too low, and the sea was deep, allowing us to see many fish. On the way back to the port, we were thrilled to see another pod of dolphins. The foreign participants were friendly and approachable, and I was particularly surprised that the customers were kind to my mother, who was flustered and unable to speak English, offering her their place in line. I thought this aspect of foreign culture was truly wonderful. By the way, my elderly mother stayed on the boat without swimming, but she said she had a great time without any worries.
After the tour, there were many small shops like stalls at the port, and I unexpectedly bought a Kona coffee bag that I had wanted for a long time, which was a nice bonus. I was filled with anxiety before signing up, but I would love to participate again.
40代夫婦、子供、70代英会話できない母親と参加。船は1階と2階があり、1階は日よけスペースとテーブルつきの席がありますが、どれも「reserved」で座れず、席を確保するのが大変でした。日本人家族は私たちだけ、アナウンスは全部英語です。トイレは男性用1、女性用1、男女兼用1でした。まず最初に行くと、朝食バイキング(小規模)をやっています。マフィンのようなパン2種程とフルーツ等。水、コーヒー、ソフトドリンクは無料。アルコールはお金がかかります。
出発してすぐにドルフィンの群れを見る事ができました。かなり近くまで泳いできてくれて感激。ウミガメはいませんでした。でもトビウオが鳥みたいにスイスイ飛んでいて感激!ポイントに到着し、全員1階に集合して、シュノーケルで泳いでいいエリア、安全確認の綿密な説明を受けます。シュノーケル初めての人のための教室もあったようです。日本のシュノーケルツアーのようにフィンやゴーグルを選んでくれることもなくセルフサービスです。ほとんとの人がライフセーバーなしで泳ぐので、ライフセーバーの数も限られていますが、ライフセーバーの代わりに細長いスチロール棒があり、これにつかまって皆泳いでいたようです。
ランチは、パン、ハンバーグ、野菜、果物などがバイキング形式に並んでいて、好きな具を自分で取ってはさんで食べる方式でした。青い空の下、とてもおいしいお味でした。
12時半に港に着くのかと思っていたら、シュノーケル終了が12時半でした。水温もそれほど低くなく、海が深くてたくさんの魚を見る事ができました。港に戻る途中、またイルカの群れを見る事ができて感激しました。参加している外国の人たちも、気さくに声をかけてくださったり、特に驚いたのは、英語が全然できなくておろおろしている母に、お客さん達が優しく接してくださり順番を譲ってくださったりしたことです。こういった外国の文化は本当に素晴らしいと思いました。ちなみに高齢の母は、泳がずにずっと船の上にいましたが、気兼ねなく楽しかったと話していました。ツアーが終わって、港の停泊所にはたくさんの屋台?のような小物のお店が軒を連ねていて、以前から欲しかったコナコーヒーのバッグを思いがけず購入することができ、二度特でした。申し込む前は不安でいっぱいでしたが、また参加したいです。

It was a tour that ended in the morning, and I thought that 30 minutes on the sandbar might not be enough time. However, other morning tours were fully booked, so I reluctantly (I apologize for that) chose this tour.
But in the end, it turned out to be a very satisfying experience! The staff were very kind, and they proactively offered to take photos for us.
At the time of booking, I didn't think there would be any time for snorkeling, but after taking a lot of pictures at the sandbar, we were able to experience a little bit of it.
I wasn't timing it exactly, but it felt like we had more than 30 minutes. I recommend this tour as you can schedule other activities in the afternoon! ☆
午前中で終わるツアーで、サントバーに上陸できるのが30分ほどということで、時間足りないんじゃないかなー?と思いましたが、他の朝のツアーがもう予約いっぱいで、仕方なく(失礼ですみません)こちらのツアーにしました。
でも、結果大変満足なツアーになりました!
スタッフの方々はとても親切で、写真も自ら声をかけていただき率先して撮ってくださいました。
予約の段階ではとてもシュノーケルする時間なんてないと思っていましたが、サンドバーでたくさん写真を撮った後でも、少し体験することができました。
実際時間を計っていた訳ではないのですが、体感的には30分より多かった気がします。
午後には他の予定を入れることができるしお勧めです☆

The sandbar was submerged due to high tide, so we didn't see the sandbar like in the photo, but the water level was about waist-high offshore, which felt quite strange. The sea turtles came close to the boat, and the kids seemed to be enjoying it, albeit a bit nervously. The snorkeling cruise was guided by the staff, and we felt safe enjoying it even in deep water (there were lots of fish!).
As for the barbecue lunch, it looked like we would be grilling our own BBQ in the photos, but in reality, it was a regular buffet style, which was disappointing.
サンドバー(砂洲)は潮位が高く、写真のような砂洲は出ていませんでしたが、沖のほうで腰の高さ位の水位というのは、不思議な感じでした。 ウミガメの船の近くに寄ってきて、子供たちもおっかなびっくり楽しんでいるようでした。シュノーケリングクルーズもスタッフさんが案内してくれ、深い海でも安心して楽しめました(魚もたくさん!)。
食事のバーベキューランチは写真では自分たちがBBQを焼くような感じでしたが、実際は普通のビュッフェスタイルだったので、ガッカリでした。

What impressed me the most was the thoughtfulness of Captain and the swim supporter, Daisuke, towards the participants. Their humorous orientation and the way they interacted on the boat created a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere for the entire tour group. It was a tour that clearly conveyed their desire to prioritize customer satisfaction. Perhaps it was also because we were all Japanese.
Now, regarding the dolphins, we spotted a pod just three minutes after departing from the harbor and quickly dropped in. We were able to see many dolphins up close. We chased the pod multiple times, dropping in ahead of them repeatedly, enjoying dolphin watching countless times. While on the boat, we also got to see adorable baby dolphins (the size of skipjack tuna) performing spin jumps, and we truly had a wonderful time surrounded by dolphins.
Meeting the dolphins greatly enhanced our satisfaction, but above all, it was the friendly and kind nature of Captain and Daisuke that filled our hearts during the tour. Thank you very much. It was fun.
最も印象に残ったのは、キャプテンさん、スイムサポータ(ダイスケさん)の参加者への心遣いです。ユーモアを入れたオリエンテーションや船上での対応など、お二人のお人柄もあってツアー客全体が緊張感ほぐれリラックスした居心地の良い雰囲気になりました。随所にお客さんの満足を優先させたいという思いが伝わるツアーでした。日本人同士ということもあったのかもしれませんね。
さて肝心のイルカちゃんですが、船上、3分。ハーバーから出発した直後から群れを発見して早速、ドロップ。たくさんのイルカを間近に見ることができました。その後も何度となく群れを追いかけ、先回りしてはドロップを繰り返して数えることが出来ない回数、ドルフィンウォッチを楽しむことができました。また船上にいるときも、かわいい赤ちゃんイルカ(カツオサイズ)のスピンジャンプを見ることができたり、本当にイルカに囲まれた楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。
イルカと会えたことが満足度を引き上げましたが、何と言ってもキャプテン、ダイスケさんの気さくで優しいお人柄で心が満たされたツアーでした。ありがとうございました。楽しかったです。
Thank you very much for your valuable comments, Tama-kichi. I am honestly very happy that you praised not only the dolphins but also us! We will continue to strive without wavering in the future.
That day, we were fortunate to see the dolphins at an exceptionally early stage. It’s lucky! Normally, it takes about 40 minutes to see them... But more than anything, I’m glad that it became a wonderful memory during your trip to the Big Island. Please come back to visit both the dolphins and us again. We are sincerely looking forward to it. Aloha!
Tama-kichi様、 貴重なコメントを有難うございました。 イルカの事だけでなく、私たちの事もお褒め頂き、正直とても嬉しいです!今後もぶれる事なく、精進していきます。
あの日は格別に早い段階でイルカに会えましたね。ラッキーですよ。 ほんとに通常は会えるまで40分前後は掛かりますから・・・。 でも何よりハワイ島のご旅行中のいい思い出にして頂けた様で何よりです。 是非又 イルカにも我々にも会いに遊びにいらしてくださいね。 心よりお待ちしております。 アロハ

I really wanted to participate in the "Sandbar Tour" since I'm going to Hawaii. However, due to a misunderstanding of the date on my part, I ended up canceling on the actual day... Still, they were kind enough to consider rescheduling for the next day. Since it's a popular tour, I didn't expect much, but to my luck, a spot opened up and I was able to join. I apologize for the inconvenience. Thank you very much.
I always trust Alan1.net for overseas optional tours. The tour was truly beautiful and became my best memory in Hawaii right before my return date, allowing me to take amazing photos. I saw many sea turtles and even happened to spot a manta ray. The mystical beauty of the sandbar was incredible. Above all, the seawater was warm, and my wife was able to swim as well. The local tour company, led by Yukiko, was energetic, polite, and very good.
I highly recommend this tour!!
ハワイに行くからにはどうしても参加したかった「サンドバーツアー」。
しかし、当方の日付勘違いで事実上の当日ドタキャン…。
それでも翌日に振替を検討して頂けることに。人気ツアーなのでダメもとですが
期待して待っていたら、運よく空が出て参加出来ることになりました。
ご迷惑をおかけしました。本当にありがとうございました。

We participated as a family of four!!
On that day, we were moved to encounter many dolphins. Above all, the staff's response was wonderful. My child was afraid to swim, but Captain and Daisuke persuaded them, and we managed to get in the water.
Now, my child talks about dolphins every day. Even for those who can't swim, Daisuke will pull and guide you, and it was touching to see the dolphins playing with Daisuke.
They also sell DVDs and will ship them to Japan. I was so moved that I couldn't stop crying. We will definitely come back, so please take care of us again.
Captain, Solomon's flow was perfectly captured too (laughs).
I highly recommend this to everyone when you come to the Big Island!
私たちは家族4人で参加しました!!
その日は多くのイルカ達に出会えて感動しました。
何よりもスタッフの対応が素晴らしく子供が泳ぐのを恐れていましたがキャプテンやダイスケさんが説得して何とか入る事が出来ました。
今では毎日イルカの事ばかり子供は話しています。
泳げない方でもダイスケさんが引っ張って誘導しますし、イルカとダイスケ君が遊んでいる姿は感動しました。
DVDの方も販売していて日本まで発送してくれます。
凄く感動して涙が止まりませんでした。また遊びに来るので是非宜しくお願いします。
キャプテン、ソロモン流もバッチリ映ってましたよ(笑)
皆様もハワイ島に来る際は是非お勧めですよ〜
Thank you for your comment, Sato. I'm so glad that your child, who was initially scared, was able to enter the ocean and meet the dolphins. It was amazing to see them swimming with the dolphins like friends for a while. That’s a rare experience! You were truly lucky. Please come back and visit us again. All of our staff are looking forward to it. I haven't seen "Solomon's Flow" yet, but I'm looking forward to receiving the DVD from the TV station. Well then, aloha!
サトウ様、 コメント頂き有難うございます。 何よりも怖がってたお子様が海に入れて、そしてイルカに会えて本当に良かったです。 しかもすぐそばで暫くの間、友達のようにイルカと

We were the only Japanese family. I forgot to contact them the day before, but it was totally fine. The ups and downs were intense, and I was desperately holding onto the boat, terrified of being thrown off. It's not suitable for those with back problems. There was a 1-2 minute break along the way, but the trip there was much longer and quite tough compared to the return. Shorter people especially had a hard time, so it's better to sit towards the back, but the foreigners had already boarded first. I got really seasick on the way there. Since no one spoke Japanese, I couldn't express my discomfort even if I felt unwell. There were no restrooms, and we couldn't get to shore. The boat was narrow and in the blazing sun without any shade, which might be tough for those on their period. You can leave your luggage behind.
Snorkeling was a lot of fun, and the female guide was very kind and helpful. There were only a few fish, but I saw an eel. A mother and baby dolphin were also swimming around the boat. The snorkeling time was about an hour. On the way back, they served fruit and drinks. It was a nearby place accessible by car, so I think individuals could go there too. There were also other tours that came by car. On the way back, they took us to see caves that can only be viewed from the boat (just a quick look), which was nice.
It was a valuable experience, so I had a decent amount of fun, but I don't want to participate again (laughs). I think the American atmosphere with mostly foreigners is enjoyable, so if you're energetic, go for it!
日本人は私たち家族だけだった。前の日に連絡を忘れたけど全然OKでした。
アップダウンが激しくとにかくボートに必死につかまっていないと振り落とされる恐怖で必死。腰の悪い人は無理。
途中で1~2分休憩が入るけど、行きの時間は帰りより長くかなりきつかった。
背の小さい人はとくに大変なので、なるべく後ろの場所に座るといいけど外国人勢がすでに先に乗っていた。
行きで船酔いがひどくなった。
日本語は全く通じないので体調が悪くても訴える余裕はなかった。トイレもないし岸に上がることもできない。ボートは狭く日陰のない炎天下なので生理中の人には厳しいかも。手荷物は置いておけます。
シュノーケリングはとても楽しかったし、ガイドの女性もとても優しく親切な方でした。
魚はほんの少し。ウツボが見れた。イルカの親子もボートの周りを泳いでいました。シュノーケリングの時間は1時間ほど。帰りはフルーツ、ドリンクのサービス。
車でも行ける近場の場所だったので個人でも行けると思った。他にも車で来ているツアーもありました。
帰りはボートでしか見れない洞窟などに(ちょっと見るだけ)連れていってくれたのでそれは良かったです。
貴重な体験だったのでまぁそれなりに楽しかったけど、私はもう二度と参加したくないです(笑)
外人ばかりでアメリカンな雰囲気が楽しいとは思うので元気な人はどうぞ!

Loved the crew, had a great time. We had a small tour of 12 which was nice and made for tons of room on the boat. Molokini was ok. Tons of boats in that area so I thought it was too crowded, however visibility was amazing saw tons of fish. Loved makena and the turtles. Only saw 4 total but totally worth it. Good lunch and breakfast, good Mai tai's too. As I said good crew made the day more enjoyable. Definitely recommend over the bigger tours.

I decided to join after seeing the tour's promotional photos. On the day of the tour, the sandbar wasn't visible due to the tides, but the blue sky, the clarity of the sea, the fish in the coral reefs I saw while snorkeling, the sea turtles that came close to me, and the delicious barbecue made for a wonderful afternoon. I had a great time. Next time, I will check the tide schedule carefully and hope to see the sandbar.
ツアーの紹介写真を見て参加を決めました。当日は、潮の関係でサンドバーが顔を出してはいませんでしたが、空の青さ、海の透明度、シュノーケリングで見たサンゴ礁の魚たち、近くに寄って来てくれた海がめたち、おいしいバーベキュー。午後のひと時、楽しい時間をすごすことができました。次回は、潮時をよく調べ、サンドバーの顔を見たいと思います。

I read experiences about the high encounter rate with dolphins and decided to book this tour. As the captain mentioned, the number of drops was higher than other tours, and I was able to see many more dolphins up close than I expected! Since I can't swim, Daisuke was there to help me, allowing me to see the dolphins really closely and listen to detailed explanations about their behavior, which made me very satisfied. Thank you for taking photos as well.
イルカとの遭遇率が高いという体験談を読み、こちらのツアーを申し込みました。キャプテンのおっしゃっていた通り、ドロップ数が他のツアーよりも多く、イルカを期待していた以上に沢山、そして間近に見ることができました!泳げない私にはダイスケさんがついて下さって本当に近くでイルカをみることができ、イルカの生態などの説明をしっかり聞くこともできて、大満足です。写真も撮ってくださり、ありがとうございました。
Thank you for your comments. We are very happy to hear that it exceeded your expectations. The situation with the dolphins is different every day and every time, which means you can enjoy it no matter how many times you come. We hope you will come to meet the dolphins in Hawaii again.

The manta rays drifting in the night sea were enchanting, but it was very cold and the waves were quite high. The snorkeling lasted about an hour, which was pretty exhausting. I had no energy at all due to the cold and seasickness. It was scary to try to return to the boat on my own after getting separated from the group in the night sea, so I recommend being in good health before participating.
夜の海に漂うマンタは幻想的で良かったですが…
とても寒いしけっこう波が高いです。
1時間ほどのシュノーケリングだったのでかなりしんどかった。
寒さと波酔いでまったく余裕がありませんでした。
夜の海で自力でグループから離れて船に戻るのは怖くてがんばりましたが、
体調を万全にしての参加をお勧めします。
Thank you for choosing us as part of your trip while you are in Hawaii. We appreciate your business and hope you will travel with us again soon. Mahalo, Sea Paradise!

The weather was nice, and the sea was very calm and beautiful.
Due to the tides, the sandbar had water up to about my ankles at its shallowest, which was a bit disappointing, but it was very beautiful, and the staff took a lot of pictures for us, creating wonderful memories.
Because there were so many people snorkeling, it was more crowded with people than fish, which was a little disappointing.
Overall, I thought the staff were very fun and it was a great experience.
天候もよくとても穏やかな海できれいでした。
サンドバーは潮の関係で、一番浅くても足首ぐらいまでは水があったので少し残念でしたがとてもきれいで、スタッフの方が沢山写真を撮ってくれたりしてとてもいい思い出になりました。
シュノーケリングは人数が多い為、魚よりも人ばかりで、芋荒い状態になりました。
それだけは少し残念でした。
その他、スタッフの方もとても楽しくてとてもよかったと思います。

During my trip to the Big Island, I was considering snorkeling at Kealakekua Bay. There were several tour options for transportation (like sea kayaking or boat rides), but I decided to join this tour because I wanted to enjoy the journey itself and it had great reviews.
I was extremely satisfied! We traveled by rubber boat, which was thrilling with quite a bit of speed. It felt like being on a roller coaster, bouncing up and down with the waves. At first, I was scared when we suddenly picked up speed, but once I got used to it, the wind felt nice, and I enjoyed it like an attraction.
Snorkeling at Kealakekua Bay was also beautiful, with clear waters, magnificent coral reefs, and a variety of fish. After about an hour, when I was getting tired, we returned to the boat where drinks, snacks, fruits, and sandwiches were prepared, and they were delicious.
On the way back, we were shown caves and coves formed by lava, which can only be seen from the sea, making it a valuable experience. Additionally, we were lucky enough to encounter a pod of dolphins, and the boat stopped to give us time to enjoy watching the leaping dolphins. It was my first time seeing so many dolphins at once.
Overall, there was never a dull moment, and it became a wonderful memory. I highly recommend it.
As a note, the travel time on the rubber boat is quite long, and towels are not included in the tour, so I think it's a good idea to bring one for when you get back on the boat after snorkeling.
ハワイ島への旅行中にケアラケクア湾でのシュノーケリングをしようと考えていました。
移動手段としてはいくつかツアーがありましたが(シーカヤックや船での移動)、移動そのものでも楽しみたかったこと、口コミ評価も高かったことからこちらのツアーへの参加を決めました。
ところ、、大満足でした!
ゴムボートで移動するのですが、かなりスピードが出てスリリングです。ジェットコースターに乗っているような感覚で、波に揺られて上下にも激しく揺れます。はじめに急にスピードが出た時は怖かったですが、慣れれば風も気持ちよく、アトラクション気分で楽しめました。
ケアラケクア湾でのシュノーケリングも、透明な海に壮大なサンゴ礁に様々なお魚が住んでおり、とても美しかったです。1時間くらいでしょうか、疲れた頃にボートに戻るとドリンク・スナック・フルーツ・サンドイッチが用意されており、とても美味しかったです。
帰りは途中に溶岩でできた洞窟や入江を案内してくれますが、これは海からでないと見ることのできない風景なので、貴重な経験でした。
また、運良くイルカの群れに遭遇したところ、ボートを止めてゆっくり時間をとってくれたので、飛び跳ねるイルカを堪能しました。一度にあんなに沢山のイルカを見たのは初めてです。
全体を通して飽きる箇所がなく、とても良い思い出になりました。おすすめです。
注意点とすれば、ゴムボートに乗っての移動時間がかなり長いということとと、タオルはツアーに含まれていないので、シュノーケリングからボードにあがったときのために用意した方がいいと思います。

I was a bit anxious, but I rented a car and drove from Kaanapali. Since it was a straightforward route, I arrived without getting lost. (Of course, I did my research beforehand.) There were plenty of parking spaces available.
We were the only Japanese couple on board, and it was an English-speaking environment. However, the crew members were very kind and cheerful. Even though I didn't understand the explanations at all, I was able to participate in the tour without any issues. While I think tours with Japanese guides are great, I also felt that tours led by locals allow you to fully enjoy the overseas experience, which was wonderful. I truly appreciated all the thoughtful gestures from the crew.
We went snorkeling at Molokini. We did snuba at the turtle spot. (You can choose where to go for each activity.) Molokini had really high visibility, and there were plenty of fish, which was very impressive. The turtle spot was murkier compared to Molokini, but it was truly wonderful to swim alongside the turtles.
During the voyage, there was a moment when a fish hit the fishing rod on the boat, and the crew worked together to reel it in, which was exciting. The meals, including fruits and sandwiches, were delicious. (^^) We took motion sickness medication before the trip, and the boat didn't rock much, so I was fine with seasickness. (I can't say for sure if I would have been okay if I had stayed on the boat the whole time, but I was having so much fun swimming around...)
I was initially worried about renting a car overseas and joining a tour without any Japanese participants, but I'm really glad I participated. It turned out to be a great opportunity for us, who have little overseas experience, to gain valuable experience.
I highly recommend this tour where you can interact with many kind Americans. I would love to participate again.
不安でしたが、レンタカーを借りて、カアナパリから自分で運転して行きました。1本道なので、迷うことなく到着できました。(もちろん下調べはきちんとしておきました。)駐車場もたくさんありました。
日本人は私たち夫婦だけで、英語だけが飛び交う船上でした。けれど、船員の方たちが非常に親切で明るく、説明は全く分かりませんでしたが、問題なくツアーに参加することができました。日本人ガイドがいらっしゃるツアーもいいと思いますが、現地だけの人のツアーも、海外に行った気分を満喫できてまたいいものだなぁと思いました。船員の方々のたくさんのお気遣いが本当にうれしかったです。
モロキニ島でシュノーケリング。ウミガメスポットでスヌーバをしました。(どちらでどれをやるかは選択できます。)
モロキニ島は本当に透明度が高くて、魚もいて、とっても感動しました。ウミガメスポットは、モロキニに比べて濁っていましたが、亀と一緒に泳げて本当によかったです。
航海途中、船の釣り竿に魚がヒットして、船員で協力して釣り上げる場面もあって盛り上がりました。
食事もフルーツやサンドイッチなどおいしかったです。(^^)
私たちのときは酔い止めを呑んで行ったし、船もあまり揺れず、船酔いも大丈夫でした。(船にずっととどまっていたらわかりませんが、楽しくてどんどん泳いでいたもので・・・)
海外でレンタカーを借りて・・・日本人のいないツアーで・・・と不安もありましたが、参加して本当によかったです。海外経験の少ない私たちにとっていい経験値を積む機会にもなったのかなと大満足です。
アメリカ人のたくさんの親切に接することができるおすすめのツアーです。
また参加したいです。
