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>

A lifetime of memories!! 一生の思い出!!

Reviewed by: イルカsisters

During my first trip to Hawaii, I wanted to do some activities before heading back, and I found Dolphin School. Since we could see wild dolphins and sea turtles, we signed up without hesitation. Once we arrived in Hawaii, the hotel contacted us, and we received a confirmation call on the morning of the tour, with reliable pick-up and drop-off services. Since this was a personally booked activity rather than a tour option, I was a bit anxious about what to expect, but I was honestly surprised by the exceptional service provided by the Japanese staff.

On the day of the activity, it was a bit windy, but relatively warm and sunny, allowing us to proceed with our planned activities. Thanks to the instructors' careful guidance and the warm consideration of the boat staff, even as complete beginners, we felt safe entering the water and swimming with fins and masks. At first, the dolphins were elusive, and we searched around by boat. (However, because of that, we were able to see whales multiple times!) We changed locations and discovered some adorable sea turtles. During this time, the captain communicated with other boats, and when information about dolphins came in, we moved to that location. As the end time approached and everyone was starting to lose hope, we received information that dolphins were nearby, so we moved the boat and entered the water to search. Then… while swimming underwater with the instructor leading us, we spotted a pod of dolphins below us!!! We swam alongside them, watched dolphins approaching us, and observed them up close as they surfaced—an experience we could never have in Japan!

Although finding the dolphins was challenging that day, they extended our time on the boat by about 15 minutes, allowing us to experience such emotions in nature, resulting in the best activity ever. I am truly grateful to everyone at Dolphin School. They also ensured we were safely returned to our hotel and sent us photos and emails the same day, making me feel throughout the experience that "choosing Dolphin School was the right decision." Thank you for a lifetime of memories! I believe it made for a wonderful trip to Hawaii!! I want to swim with dolphins again!!!

初めてのハワイで何かアクティビティをして帰りたいと思い、探していたところイルカ中学を見つけました。野生のイルカ&ウミガメを見られるということで、私たちは迷わず申し込みました。ハワイに着いたらホテルに連絡があり、当日の朝も確認の電話が入り、送り迎えもしっかりしてくれました。ツアーのオプションでなく、個人的に申し込んだアクティビティだったので、どんなものなのか少し不安もありましたが、日本人スタッフによる期待以上のサービスに正直驚きました。
当日は少し風が強かったものの、比較的暖かく晴れており、予定通りの活動が出来ました。そして、インストラクターの丁寧な指導や乗船スタッフのあたたかい心遣いで、足ヒレをつけるのもマスク・シュノーケルを装着するのも全く初心者であった私たちでも安心して海に入り泳ぐことができました!!最初はイルカがなかなか出てきてくれず、ボートで探し回りました。(しかしそのおかげでクジラは何回も見ることが出来ましたが♪)場所を変え、かわいいウミガメは発見できました。その間も船長さんが他の船と連絡を取り合い、イルカの情報が入るとそこへ移動してくれました。終了の時間も迫り、みんな諦めモードになっていたそのとき、イルカがいるという情報が入ったので近くの場所までボートを動かし、海に入って探しました。すると…インストラクターの先生にリードしてもらいながら海の中を泳いでいたら、下のほうにイルカの群れを見つけることが出来たのです!!!一緒に泳いで、群れをはずれて近づいてくるイルカを見たり、水面から出るイルカたちを間近で見たり、日本では経験できないような体験をさせてもらいました!
この日は、イルカ探しが難航しましたが、予定より乗船時間を15分ほど延長してくれて、自然の中でこんな感動を味わわせてくれて、結果的に最高のアクティビティでした。イルカ中学の皆さんには本当に感謝です。帰りもホテルまでしっかり送り届けてもらい、その日のうちに写真やメールを届けてくれ、最初から最後まで「イルカ中学にして良かった」という気持ちにさせてくれる内容でした☆★一生の思い出をありがとうございました。おかげで素晴らしいハワイ旅行になったと思います!!またイルカと泳ぎたいです!!!

ハワイ島 ケアラケクア湾シュノーケリングツアー 滑り台や飛び込み台完備の船で行く!<午前・午後/英語ガイド/食事付>by フェアウィンド号

It was really beautiful! すごくキレイでした!

Reviewed by: MIHO

This was my first time participating, and the color of the sea was emerald green. When I went snorkeling, I immediately saw many beautiful fish. My parents in their 60s also tried snorkeling for almost the first time and enjoyed it. On the way back, we even spotted a whale in the distance.

As others have commented, when I participated, we were the only Japanese people, and all the explanations were in English, but there were no issues, and they kindly taught us how to use the snorkeling equipment. We drove to the meeting point with a rental car, but since it's very close to the Sheraton, taking a taxi there would also be a good option.

I thought an hour and a half would be enough, but once we were there, it went by so quickly that if I have the chance again, I would like to participate for a whole day.

初めて参加しましたが、海の色はエメラルドグリーンでシュノーケリングをしたら、すぐにたくさんのきれいな魚がたくさん見れました。
60代の両親もほぼ初めてのシュノーケリングでしたが、楽しんでいました。戻るときは、遠くにクジラも見れました。
他の方もコメントされていますが、私が参加した時も日本人は私たちだけで説明などは全部英語でしたが、特に問題なく親切にシュノーケリングの
使い方など教えてもらいました。集合場所まではレンタカーで行きましたが、シェラトンからすぐなのでそこまでタクシーで行く方法でもいいかと
思います。
1時間半で十分と思っていましたが、実際に行ってみるとあっという間でまた行く機会があれば一日参加してみたいです。

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>

You should check the tide schedule first. 潮の満ち引きをまずチェックした方がいい

Reviewed by: kimi

At low tide, the sandbar is completely exposed, but at high tide, the water reaches about thigh-deep. First, we went to the sandbar, and I was quite disappointed because there was a lot of water. However, after seeing sea turtles and snorkeling, we passed by again, and the sandbar was visible. They don't change the order of the activities... I guess there are also considerations with other boats, so you need to check the tide schedule yourself when making a reservation. Overall, though, I was able to see many sea turtles, and snorkeling was fun as I swam with lots of fish.

サンドバーは、引き潮の時は完全に砂浜が出てきますが、満ち潮だと太ももくらいまで水があります。まず最初にサンドバーに行き、かなり水が多くてがっくりしていたら、その後ウミガメを見たり、シュノーケルした後に通ったら、砂浜が見えてました。順序を変えてはくれないんですね…。他の船との兼ね合いもあるのでしょうから、申し込む時点で、自分で干満を調べておかなきゃいけないという事ですね。でも全体としては、たくさんのウミガメを見れたし、シュノーケルもたくさんの魚と泳げて楽しかったです。

The malasadas were delicious! マラサダも美味しかった!

Reviewed by: ベジー・サンドウィッチ

Previously, when I went snorkeling in Ko Olina with a major travel agency's optional tour, I was very disappointed because I hardly saw any sea turtles or fish. However, on this Heaven's Ocean tour, I was really happy to see many sea turtles and beautiful fish. It seemed like we arrived at the sandbar a little early, but we were able to sit together as a family on the water and take photos.

I thought the guide, Izumi, did a great job explaining the dangers of snorkeling clearly. It was lucky that I could enjoy Leonard's malasadas without having to go buy them myself. Most importantly, my father-in-law, who has visited Hawaii multiple times and dined at many high-end restaurants, praised this BBQ lunch on the boat as the best he has ever had.

以前、大手旅行会社のオプショナルツアーでコオリナでシュノーケリングした時は、ウミガメも魚もほとんど見えずとても残念でしたが、この天国の海ツアーでは、ウミガメも綺麗なお魚もたくさん会えて、ほんとに良かったです。 サンドバーにはほんの少し時間が早かったようですが、海の上に家族そろって座って写真を撮ってもらいました。
ガイドのイズミさんのシュノーケリングについての説明が、何が危険であるかはっきり説明されていて、とても良かったと思います。
レナーズのマラサダを、自分で買いに行かずとも食べられたのはラッキーでしたし、何より特筆すべきは、ハワイに何度も来て、いくつもの高級レストランで食事をしてきた義父が、「今回はこの船の上でのBBQランチが一番美味しかった」と絶賛していたことです(^0^)

6名限定!ハワイ島 野生のイルカウォッチング+ケアラケクア湾シュノーケリングツアー<午前/英語ガイド/軽食付>

That's unfortunate. 残念

Reviewed by: Ikko

The day before the tour, there was a heavy rainstorm that hit the Big Island of Hawaii, so it was disappointing that there were no dolphins. It's due to the weather, so it's nobody's fault, but I was really looking forward to this tour. If I go again, I will definitely participate in this tour again. The captain took the boat from the north to the south. The snorkeling time was short, probably because we were looking for dolphins... Well! It can't be helped. I'll get my revenge next time. I will participate again. Thank you!

ツアー参加前日にすごい雨がハワイ島を襲った事もあり、
イルカがいなかったのが残念でした。天候なので
誰の責任でもありませんがこのツアーを楽しみにしていたので
また行ったら、またこのツアーに参加します。
キャプテンは北から南までボートを走らせてくれてました。
シュノーケリングの時間が短かったです。イルカを探していたせいか、、、
まぁ!しょうがない。次回リベンジです。

Dear Ikko,

Aloha! Thank you very much for participating in our Dolphin Tour.

This winter has brought more rainy days than we anticipated, and we are truly sorry that we could not meet your expectations due to the weather. The snorkeling time was shortened because it took us longer to find the dolphins. We sincerely appreciate your understanding regarding the weather and the snorkeling time.

We hope that when you visit the Big Island again, you will come back to see us at Kona Ocean Experience. We would love to have the opportunity to make it up to you.

Mahalo Nui Loa!!

Ikko様
Aloha! この度は弊社ドルフィンツアーにご参加くださり誠にありがとうございます。
今冬は私達の予想以上に雨の日が多く、自然のこととはいえIkko様のご期待の添えませんでしたこと残念に思います。
シュノーケリングの時間が短くなってしまったのは、イルカ達を探すのに時間を要したからとなります。天候、シュノーケリングのお時間と、ご理解いただき誠にありがとうございます。
ぜひ次回ハワイ島へお越しの際は、またKona Ocean Experienceに会いにいらしてください。そしてIkko様と一緒にリベンジさせてくださいね。

野生のマンタ シュノーケリングツアー <英語ガイド/軽食付き>

It was a wonderful experience. 素晴らしい体験でした

Reviewed by: たーさん

It was really great! The boat docks not too far from the shore, and you swim from there to a floating platform that looks like a raft. You can borrow a wetsuit, a buoy, and a snorkel.

Even though it was night, the underwater lights were quite bright, so I didn't feel scared. On that day, about six mantas appeared, swimming right next to us at the surface and doing flips, which was an absolutely breathtaking experience.

I got so absorbed in it that I lost track of time. I definitely recommend it, but since they are wild animals, there's no guarantee you'll see them. In fact, when I participated two years ago, I didn't see any.

Also, it was an English tour, but even for us, who don't speak much English, it wasn't a problem. I think if you can snorkel, you'll be just fine.

とってもよかったです!
船は岸からそんなに離れない場所に停泊し、そこから浮いているイカダのような場所まで泳いでいきます。ウエットスーツと棒状の浮きとシュノーケルは貸してもらえます。
夜の海ですが、海中のライトがかなり明るいので怖いとは思いませんでした。
すると、マンタがこの日は6枚ほど現れ、海面に浮いている私たちスレスレに泳いで宙返りを何回もして、もう息をのむほどの体験でした。
本当に夢中になってしまい、時間が経つのを忘れてしまいます。
ぜひおすすめしますが、野生の物なので必ず見えるわけではありません。
実際、2年前に参加した時は空振りでしたので。
あと、英語のツアーですが、英語のさほどできない私達でも問題無かったです。シュノーケルができる方なら問題ないと思います。

A unique experience in Hawaii. ハワイならではの体験

Reviewed by: GT2

Although there were many clouds on the day, when the sun came out, the sandbar became a beautiful color. The hamburger for lunch was very delicious, and we were able to see many sea turtles during the watch, as well as tropical fish while snorkeling, making for a fulfilling time. Since it’s cold during this season, it’s best to bring a jacket. After snorkeling, your body gets quite cold. (You can also get warm drinks on the boat.)

当日は雲が多かったけど、晴れ間が出るとサンドバーがとてもきれいな色になります。
昼食のハンバーガーがとても美味しく、またその後のウミガメウォッチもたくさん見れ、シュノーケリングでも熱帯の魚が見れて充実した時間が過ごせました。
この時期は寒いので、上着は必ず持参した方がいいです。シュノーケリングの後はかなり体が冷えます。(船上で温かい飲み物ももらえます)

I had a great time. すごーく楽しめました

Reviewed by: alfa75

The bus ride to the boat harbor was enjoyable. (It's in English, but I can understand the simple parts, so I get the humor.) Once on the boat, everything is in Japanese. It was windy and cold on the day, but the sandbar was lively and fun. Needless to say, it was beautiful. The hamburgers were delicious, and seeing the sea turtles up close afterward was the best. I initially thought about booking with another tour company, but they were fully booked, so I made a reservation here instead, and I don't think there would be much difference. The sandbar is also close enough to dock, and the staff on the boat were very considerate, taking family photos for us and chatting casually.

ボートハーバーまでの行きのバス中から楽しませてくれます。(英語ですが簡単な所は理解できますのでユーモアもわかります。)ボートにのれば日本語です。当日は風が強く寒かったですがサントバーは、はしゃげて楽しかったです。言うまでもなくきれいです。 ハンバーガーもおいしく、その後のウミガメも身近に見れて最高です。他のツアー会社を最初予約しようと思ったのですが、満員で予約できずこちらに予約したのですが、おそらく違いはないと思います。サンドバーも近くに横付けできますし、船の中でもスタッフは気を使っていただき、カメラもファミリーで撮ってもらったり、気軽にしゃべりかけていただきます。

Snuba diving was the best!! Kevin and Shawn were our instructors and they were so much fun! I'm scuba certified and and my best friend has only snorkeled, and snuba was so easy to do. I would absolutely do it again. I did however wish we could go deeper but you share a tank so you're limited to air. It was still a great experience and I'm really glad I did it!

Reviewed by: やっち

This was our first trip to Hawaii with our sixth grader and preschooler. We signed up for Dolphin School because we wanted to give them a wonderful experience. At first, I hesitated because it seemed expensive for the whole family, but in the end, I felt it was a fantastic experience for the price! It took just over an hour by shuttle bus from the Waikiki area to West Oahu. From there, we took a banana boat-style speedboat out to sea to look for dolphins! Amazingly, we encountered a pod of dolphins just one minute after setting sail! We all jumped into the water, and as we looked underwater, about 20 dolphins swam right beneath us. There were baby dolphins too! It was an incredible experience! We encountered dolphin pods several more times! Along the way, we were thrilled to see a manta ray, which gracefully swam right below us! Since it was such a special day, the captain confidently said that we might also see whales and took the boat further out! I thought seeing a whale was a long shot, but...

We actually encountered a humpback whale! And it was close! Plus, it was a mother and calf! The boat was filled with excitement and happiness. Right after hearing that seeing a whale's tail brings good luck, we were lucky enough to see one jump right in front of us, and we all got to see its tail! They said this might be a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and I certainly agreed (^ω^). To see dolphins, manta rays, and whales all in one day was amazing! The kids were so moved, their eyes wide with wonder! However, when the whale appeared, it seemed like they were too seasick to enjoy it. Even the adults were excited at Dolphin School. All the staff were friendly and fun to talk to, and I’m really glad we chose Dolphin School! Next time we go to Hawaii, I’ll try the university program!

For those planning to participate! The staff suggested leaving cameras at the port, so we did, but I think you can bring them as long as you’re careful not to drop them on the boat! Unfortunately, we have no photos of such a wonderful experience. They do sell a DVD with photos taken by the staff, but since it included other people and was a bit pricey, we decided against it. Also, make sure to eat a little breakfast beforehand, or you’ll get hungry! Light snacks are served at the end.

小6と年長さんの男の子に連れての初ハワイ。何か素敵な体験をさせてあげたいとイルカ中学に申し込みました。最初は家族で申し込むと高いし、ちょっと悩みましたが、結果安かったと思うくらい素晴らしい体験ができました!ワイキキエリアから送迎バスで西オアフまで1時間ちょっと。そこから高速のバナナボート風のボートで沖にでてイルカを探しました!でもなんと出航1分でイルカの群れに遭遇!みんなで海に入り、海中を見ると20頭くらいの群れが私たちの真下を間近に通って行きました。赤ちゃんイルカも一緒でした!素晴らしい体験でした!そのあとも何度もイルカの群れに遭遇!途中、なんとダイバーの憧れのマンタが現れまたもや私たちの真下を悠々と泳いで行きました!そんな日だったので、船長さんが鯨も現れると断言してくれて更に沖に船を進めてくれました!さすがに鯨は~って思ったけれど



なんと!ザトウ鯨に遭遇!しかも近い!しかも親子!船上は興奮と幸せに包まれました。鯨の尾をみると幸せになれるという説明を聞いた直後にはなんと間近てジャンプまでしてくれてみんなで尾を見ることができました!こんな事はたぶんみなさんの人生で2度とないかもしれませんと言われて、確かにそうだなぁと思いました(^ω^)イルカも群れ、マンタ、鯨、全て見られるなんて!子供たちも感動して目を丸くしてました!でも鯨が現れたときは船酔いでそれどころではなかったみたいです。大人も興奮したイルカ中学。スタッフみなさんフレンドリーで話も楽しく、ほんとーにイルカ中学にしてよかった!またハワイに行ったら次は大学にチャレンジしてみます!
これから参加予定の方に!
スタッフの方にカメラは港においていった方がいいと言われたので置いて行きましたが船上では落とさないようにすれば撮れるので持っていってもいいと思います!私たちはそんなすてきや体験をしたの1枚も写真がなく、ちよっと残念。スタッフが撮った写真をDVDにして販売もしてくれますが、他の方も写っているものだし、ちょっと高かったのでやめました。あと朝ごはんは少し食べていかないとお腹すきます!軽食は最後に出るので。

A fantastic tour with swimming at the sandbar, a hamburger lunch, snorkeling with sea turtles, and coral. Since it was the end of December, the water was a bit cold, but you get used to it after a little while. The kids seemed to be cold, so I think it's better to wear warmer jackets or outfits during the winter season.

サンドバーでの海水浴、ハンバーガーランチ、ウミガメ、サンゴのシュノーケリングと大満足のツアー。12月末だったので海はすこし冷たいが、入って少しすれば慣れる。お子さんは寒そうにしていたので、冬シーズンは暖かめの上着や恰好をしたほうが良いと思う。

ハナウマ湾シュノーケリング 日本語ガイドが海の世界へご案内<シュノーケルセット/終日>

I participated with my mother in her 50s. We made great memories!!!! 50代の母とふたりで参加。良い思い出ができました!!!!

Reviewed by: 大好きハワイ

The tour conductor was very nice! Since it was just my mother and me on the day, we received plenty of snorkeling instruction before heading into the sea! The beautiful waters of Hanauma Bay are stunning to look at, but being in the water is amazing!! There were so many adorable tropical fish that I had never seen before. Occasionally, we also spotted larger fish. And guess what! We encountered a small sea turtle. We were able to see it just as it was coming up for air, which was a rare experience. After that, the guide pointed out a small, cute shark (not a man-eater) hiding in the rocks, which is apparently quite uncommon, so we were lucky! The guide took a lot of photos for us and shared how much they love the waters of Hawaii, making them a truly trustworthy and wonderful person. If I go again, I would definitely want to book with them. I highly recommend this experience!

ツアーコンダクターの方がとても、良い方でした!当日は母と私の二人だけだったので、たっぷりシュノーケルのレクチャーを受け、いざ海へ!ハナウマベイの美しい海は眺めるのももちろんですが、入ってからがすばらしい!!初めて見るような熱帯魚たちがいっぱいでかわいくて。大きな魚も時々います。そしてなんと!海がめ(小さい)と遭遇できました。ちょうど息継ぎをする瞬間まで見られて、貴重な体験。その後、岩の陰に小さなかわいいサメ(人食いではない)がいることを、ガイドさんが教えてくれてみれました。これはなかなかないことらしく、ラッキーです!たくさん写真も撮ってくれて、ハワイの海が大好きとお話してくれるガイドさんは、本当に信頼できる素敵な方です。次も行くなら、絶対こちらで頼みたいと思うくらいです。本当にオススメです。

Deluxe Na Pali Experience Snorkel Tour, Breakfast & Lunch - Holo Holo Charters

Sail Away

Reviewed by: Reid Family

This tour had two main components. The first was the actual experience of sailing on the ocean. This was fantastic! Most of us loved the waves and wind, while a couple not so much. The crew were attentive and kind to our seasick companions. We listened to our competent crew tell stories, and share their knowledge. Lunch was outstanding. Fresh salads, make your own sandwich, and homemade cookies for dessert.
The second part is seeing the Na Pali shoreline, which we were unable to do so due to the great swells in the North. Despite this, it was still a neat experience to see the same areas on the South shore that we had visited by land. We were able to see whales.
Snorkeling was not the best I have done, but we did have a sea turtle swim under us. We had to stop in an area that was not the usual, due to the windy weather, and this may have been a factor.
Overall, this was a very good experience with a competent crew, enjoyable scenery and good food.

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 recommended. 絶対おすすめ

Reviewed by: cheki

This time, we participated with two families (four adults and three children aged ten). It was less than a 30-minute drive from our accommodation in Waikoloa to Honokohau Marina, and we were blessed with clear skies on the day of our trip. We sped to the snorkeling point in about an hour, encountering a large pod of dolphins along the way. To our surprise, we also saw three whales up close, which got the kids really excited. We were told that such encounters at this distance are quite rare. It was incredibly impressive. The snorkeling was filled with beautiful fish. The lunch on the boat was exceptional as well. The kids said they want to go again next time. While it's a fun tour for adults, I believe it's a must-do adventure for families.

今回は、2家族(大人4人・子供10歳3人)で参加しました。宿泊先のワイコロアからホノコハウマリーナ迄30分弱と近く、当日は雲一つない晴天に恵まれスピード感満点のボートでシュノーケルポイント迄約1時間。途中イルカの大群。さらには何と3頭のクジラをまじかで見れました。これには子供たちも大興奮。なかなかこの距離で遭遇出来ないとの説明。凄い迫力でした。シュノーケルも綺麗なお魚達が沢山。ボート上でのランチも格別。子供たちから、次回も又行きたいと言われました。大人だけでも楽しいツアーですが、家族ずれにはマストなアドベンチャーだと思います。

ハナウマ湾シュノーケリング 日本語ガイドが海の世界へご案内<シュノーケルセット/終日>

The guide was great! ガイドさんが良い!

Reviewed by: aaa

On December 30th, I went on a tour to Hanauma Bay in the afternoon. I was worried that there might not be any fish or sea turtles in the afternoon, but our expert guide took us to points where we could encounter them. Although the waves were high and the conditions were not great this time, I was able to see two sea turtles up close. It was an emotional experience to see them in the water right next to me, unlike viewing them through glass at an aquarium.

12月30日午後からのツアーでハナウマ湾に行きました。午後からだと魚やウミガメ居ないかな?と心配していましたが、達人ガイドさんが会えそうなポイントまで連れて行ってくれました。今回は波が高く条件が悪かったのですが、2匹のウミガメを間近で見ることができました。水族館でガラス越しで見るのと違い、海中ですぐそばで見ることができて感動でした。

野生のマンタ シュノーケリングツアー <英語ガイド/軽食付き>

I experienced night snorkeling for the first time. ナイトシュノーケリングを初めて体験しました

Reviewed by: eli

I experienced night snorkeling for the first time. It was quite dark and the waves were strong, which was a bit scary, but I felt safe holding onto the bar and floating. Seeing a manta ray up close was also a little frightening, but it was moving. The swimming time was just right, and even though it was December, once I got into the water, it wasn't cold. However, it was cold after getting out, so a bath towel is essential. When I participated, the waves were strong, and I took motion sickness medication, but I still got seasick, so I recommend being fully prepared.

ナイトシュノーケリングを初めて体験しました。
真っ暗で波も強くて少し怖かったですが、バーに捕まって浮いていられるので安心でした。間近でマンタを見れたのも少し怖かったですが、感動的でした。
遊泳時間もほどよく、12月でしたが一度海の中に入ってしまえば寒くありませんでした。上がったあとは寒いのでバスタオルは必須です。また私が参加したときは波が強く、酔い止めを飲みましたがやはり船酔いしてしまったので、準備万端で臨むことをおすすめします。

Thank you for taking the time to consider your trip. We are glad to hear that you had a great time. We understand that seasickness can make things less enjoyable, but we are pleased that you still enjoyed the tour. We hope to see you on your next visit to the Big Island.

Aloha!


あなたの旅行を検討する時間を割いていただきありがとうございます。私たちは、あなたが楽しい時間を持っていた喜んでいます。私たちは船酔いになっては楽しいではないことを理解していますが、まだツアーを楽しんで満足しています。あなたのビッグアイランドの次回あなたを見てほしいです。

Sea turtle

The day we went it was very windy so we didn't get to Molokini but an alternate site -- they clearly wanted our trip to be enjoyable. The staff was upbeat and humorous. The snorkeling was great, much variety of fish and turtles did make an appearance.

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>

It was fun. 楽しかったです

Reviewed by: ハワイ大好き

We participated as a family of four. While enjoying dolphin watching along the way, we arrived at the snorkeling point about an hour after departure. It was like a cove surrounded by coral, with no waves, and we were able to see various fish. The Zodiac is a large rubber boat, but it goes quite fast, so it gets pretty cold on the way back after getting out of the water. I recommend bringing a thick bath towel or something like a fleece.

家族4名で参加しました。途中イルカウォッチングを楽しみながら、出港から約1時間でシュノーケリングポイントに到着。珊瑚に囲まれた入江のようなところで、波もなく、色々な魚を観ることができました。ゾディアック号は大きなゴムボートのような船ですが、かなりスピードも出るので、海から上がった帰りは結構寒くなります。厚手のバスタオルか、フリースのようなものを持って行くことをお勧めします。

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>

It was fun! 楽しかったです♪

Reviewed by: lechat

I was really hoping for a completely sandy sandbar, so it was a bit disappointing that there was about 30cm of water left. But that's just a matter of the tides, so it can't be helped. It was a wonderful feeling to walk in the sea.
I was also happy to meet a sea turtle while snorkeling!
However, maybe because there were too many people on the tour? It felt like I was mostly just looking at people's feet while swimming nearby, which was disappointing.
The guide, Izumi, and all the staff were very nice. Thank you!

サンドバーに関しては完全に砂が出ているのを期待していたので、30cm程水が残った状態だったのは少し残念でした。でもこれは潮の問題だから仕方ないですね。海を歩いたりする不思議な感覚は良かったです。
シュノーケリングも、近くで海亀ちゃんに会えて嬉しかった!
けどツアーの人数が多かったせいかな?近くを泳いでいる人が多く、ほぼ足を見ている感じだった時は残念でした。
ガイドのイズミさんはじめ、スタッフの皆さん大変感じ良かったです。ありがとうございました!

Aloha! This is Captain Bruce's Paradise of the Sea Tour.
Thank you for joining the tour the other day.
I'm glad you enjoyed the strange sensation of walking in the middle of the ocean at the sandbar.
Please come back and visit us again. All of us, including Izumi, will be waiting for you along with the sea turtles.

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>

It was a systematized tour. システム化されているツアーでした。

Reviewed by: みさき

It seems that it operates three times a day.
It is very systematized, and I was impressed.
The flow is relatively smooth.

They also lend snorkeling equipment, so if you have a bath towel, you can enjoy it.
However, there were quite a few people. It may depend on the day.
For lunch, there are hamburgers.

I was able to see about 5-6 sea turtles swimming.
I saw one while snorkeling as well.
There seems to be a turtle harassment policy, and if you chase or touch them, you could be fined $15,000, so be careful!

1日に3回催行されているようです。
とてもシステム化されていて、関心しました。
流れも比較的ズムーズです。

シュノーケリングの資材も貸してくれるので、バスタオルでもあれば楽しめます。
その代わり人数は多かったです。日によるのかもしれませんが。
昼はハンバーガーです。

ウミガメが泳いでいるのを5-6匹見られました。
シュノーけリング最中にも1匹見ました。
かめハラスメント規約があるそうで、追いかけたり、触ったりすると15000ドル?の罰金が取られることがあるそうですので、ご用心を!

ハワイ島 シュノーケルクルーズ SUP体験もできる充実ツアー!貸し切りプランあり<午前/朝食・昼食付き> by フラカイ号

A wonderful cruise. 素敵なクルーズ

Reviewed by: みさき

I had visited for work before, but this time I came for a relaxing vacation.
During the two stops, I enjoyed snorkeling.
I saw whales, a pod of dolphins, sea turtles, and tropical fish in the distance... I had a great day.
For lunch, I had a hamburger.

Since there is no pickup, you have to make your own way to the meeting point, and everything is in English, so if you're okay with that, I think you'll have a wonderful day.

今まで仕事で訪れていたので、今回はのんびり休暇で訪れました。
2回の停泊で、シュノーけリングを楽しみました。
遠くにクジラ、イルカの群れ、海がめ、トロピカルフィシュ。。1日楽しめました。
昼はハンバ^ガ^です。

ピックアップが無いので、自力で集合場所まで行かなければならないのと、全て英語なので、それが大丈夫であれば、素敵な1日が過ごせると思います。

Kealakekua Bay Guided Kayak & Captain Cook Snorkel Tour - Adventures In Paradise

Lots of Dolphines and best snorkeling experience

Reviewed by: newbie to scuba

We kayaked to the middle of a pods of dolphins and watches them swim around us. They exhaled loudly when swimming. We then kayaked to Captain Cooks memorial all the while getting a history lesson by our guide and the low and dirty on Captain Cook. At the memorial the corels were right in our face and then there was a drop into abyss all within a 10-20 feet from the shore. We saw many corels and fish when snorkeling and everything was crystal clear and right in front of us.

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>

First snorkeling! 初シュノーケル!

Reviewed by: ひろこ

I'm really glad that I, someone who can't swim at all, was able to enjoy snorkeling without drowning! I had seen it on TV, but I never expected to see such beautiful fish right in front of me; it was truly moving! This time, I could only manage to put my face in the water, but if I get another chance, I definitely want to dive deeper. I encourage those who can't swim to give it a try as well! (laughs)

全く泳げない私が溺れることなく無事にシュノーケリングを楽しめて良かったです!
テレビで見た事はありましたが、あんなに目の前に綺麗な魚が実際に見れるとは思わず、とても感動しました!
今回はどうにか顔をつける事しか出来ませんでしたが、次回チャンスがあれば是非奥深く潜ってみたいな~と思えるような体験でした。
泳げない人も是非挑戦してみてはいかがでしょうか。笑
