I saw a sea turtle! (*´艸`) 海亀見たッ(*´艸`)

Reviewed by: Ryo&seiko

The staff, including Umi-san, explained everything clearly, and we were able to see sea turtles and manta rays!

They let us enjoy snorkeling right up until the last moment, and even though it was only in the morning, I was very satisfied. ╰(*´︶`*)╯

3.5-Hour Na Pali Sunset Dinner Cruise with Open Bar on Holo Holo Catamaran

Excellent!

Reviewed by: Carol

An amazing sunset cruise! While the sun wasn't cooperating, the seas were calm and we were extremely lucky in all that we were able to see of the beautiful coastline. Because this boat is one of the fastest on the coast, we were able to cruise all the way down to Hanakapiai Beach, almost all the way to the northern tip of Na Pali!

We saw a lot of sea caves and waterfalls, and the crew was fabulous at making sure everyone was comfortable, well-fed (amazing food!) and enjoying themselves to the utmost. One of the best evenings we spent on Kauai and definitely something I would highly recommend to see the awe-inspiring cliffs of Na Pali!

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

SO COOL!

Reviewed by: gomezdouglas

My family had a great time. My son loved it! Its a combo of snorkling and scuba diving but without having to get scuba lessions and certification. Seems easy at first until you get in the water...just listen to the instructor and focus on the sea life while you are under. Ken was great! Would do it again! Best part, got to have an octopus wrapped around my arm....totaly cool!

Reviewed by: サイパンダ

I think the sandbar is wonderful at the right timing with the tides. If the weather is bad, it can get quite cold, so I recommend having at least a windbreaker. I believe you can enjoy turtles, fish, and dolphins there.

サンドバーは潮の満ち引きで、良いタイミングだと素晴らしいと思います。
天気が悪いとかなり寒いので、ウインドブレーカーぐらいあった方が良いと思います。
カメと魚とイルカと楽しめると思います。

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>

I was moved by everything! 全てに感動しました!

Reviewed by: HATO

This was our second time on the Big Island with my husband. Last time, it was winter, so it was a bit chilly, and we couldn't go into the ocean. This time, we wanted to fully enjoy the sea, so we participated in snorkeling at Kealakekua Bay, known for its stunning clarity, which is not easily accessible by car.

There was no hotel shuttle, and we had to meet at Honokohau Marina, so I think those without a car should be cautious. We had rented a car for the entire day, so it wasn't an issue for us. The instructions and explanations were all in English, but we received a printed guide in Japanese, so that was not a problem either.

I was surprised by how fast the boat was as we departed, and along the way, we saw a pod of dolphins and a school of flying fish, which was an emotional experience to see up close. The explanations about the lava caves were all in English, so I couldn't understand them, but I was able to feel enough from the printed guide and what I could see.

Furthermore, at Kealakekua Bay, I was amazed by the clarity of the water and the size of the fish. Both my husband and I were captivated, watching the fish. After returning from snorkeling, there was actually a fish book on the boat, and we were excited to find the fish we had just seen up close, exclaiming, "There it is! I saw that!!!"

We also enjoyed lunch, which included sandwiches, drinks, snacks, and fruit, and eating on the boat was exceptionally delicious.

I was moved by everything! I would love to use this service again when we visit the Big Island.

今回旦那と二人で、ハワイ島二回目で、前回は季節が冬だったので肌寒く、海に入れませんでした。
その為今回は、海を満喫しようと思い、車ではなかなか行けず、感動する透明度と名高い、ケアラケクア湾シュノーケルに参加しました。
ホテルからの送迎がなく、ホノコハウ・マリーナ集合の為、車がない方は注意が必要かと思います。
私たちは終日レンタカーを借りていたので、問題なかったです。
また終始英語での注意事項・説明でしたが、日本語のプリントを頂いたので、そこも問題なかったです。
出発して思ってたより速いボートに驚きながらも途中イルカの群れや、トビウオの群れがいて、間近で見ることが出来て感動しました。
溶岩洞窟についての説明は全て英語だったので、理解できませんでしたが、頂いたプリントと目視で充分感じることができました。
更にケアラケクア湾では、海の透明度と魚の大きさに驚きました。
私も旦那も夢中になって、魚を観賞しました。
またシュノーケリングから戻った後も実際にボートに魚の本があり、先ほど間近で見た魚を見つけることが出来て「これいたね!これ見た見た!!!」と興奮。
ランチもサンドイッチとドリンクとスナックとフルーツを頂き、ボートの上で食べるのもまた格別に美味しかったです。

全てに感動しました!またハワイ島に行った際には利用したいです。

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>

I attended with children. 子ども連れで参加しました。

Reviewed by: なかちゃん

I participated with my 4-year-old and 6-year-old children. The sandbar was truly beautiful, and the kids were thrilled. A turtle came quite close (about 50 cm away), which surprised the kids a bit, but we were able to take some great photos. We were the only ones with kids participating in snorkeling. My 6-year-old had their first snorkeling experience and really enjoyed it. They wore a life jacket and held onto a surfboard, and the staff took great care of us. The guide was also a fun person. The guide was Japanese, and the captain was from Hawaii and spoke Japanese well.

Even if you only speak Japanese, you can participate without any issues, but I think it would be more enjoyable if you could speak English to chat with the staff.

For those who didn't go snorkeling, they could talk with the remaining staff or learn canoeing or stand-up paddle surfing, so even those who are not good at snorkeling can have fun.

After getting on the boat, they served juice, bread, and donuts, so we didn't need to eat much for breakfast. Lunch was also served as a buffet, and it was quite filling.

I recommend this experience for everyone, from small children to young people and seniors.

4歳、6歳の子ども連れで参加しました。サンドバーは本当にきれいでこどもも大喜びでした。亀が近くまで来て(50cmくらいまで)子どもはちょっとびっくりしてましたが、よい写真がとれました。こどもでスノーケル参加はうちだけでした。6歳の子どもはスノーケル初体験でしたが、楽しんでできました。ライフジャケットをつけて、その上、サーフボードにつかまらせて、付きっきりで見ていただき、本当にお世話になりました。あと、ガイドさんも楽しい方です。ガイドさんは日本人。船長さんはハワイの方で日本語が上手です。
日本語しか話せなくても全く困らず参加できますが、英語が話せるとスタッフの方とたくさん話せて楽しいだろうなーと思います。
なお、スノーケリングをしなかった方は、残ったスタッフの方と話したり、カヌーやスタンドアップパドルサーフィンを教えてもらったりしてたので、スノーケリングが苦手な方も楽しめますよ。
船に乗ったあと、ジュース、パン、ドーナツを出してくださるので、朝御飯はあまり食べなくてもよかったです。
昼もビュッフェででます。かなり、お腹いっぱいになります。
小さな子どもから、若い方、ご年配の方、誰にでもおすすめです。

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>

I think it would be better to reduce the number of people. 人数を減らした方がいいと思います。

Reviewed by: なみな

I was really looking forward to this, but unfortunately, it was a disappointing tour given my expectations. Since we traveled by large bus, even with a 7 AM meeting time, we wasted an hour picking up people in Waikiki (which happens with other tours as well). After arriving, we landed on a narrow sandbar packed with people on two cruisers. Snorkeling felt like a chaotic trial start, bumping into each other while trying to peek into the water. I think the actual time spent on the sandbar and snorkeling was about 30 minutes total. It was just so rushed. Since it’s such a special place, I wish the tour had fewer participants.

とても楽しみにしていたのですが、期待してた分、残念なツアーでした。大型バスで行くため、7時に集合でも1時間はワイキキピックアップで時間が潰れ(これは他でもありますが)、到着後、2台のクルーザーで細いサンドバーにぎゅうぎゅうに上陸笑。シュノーケルも一列でトライアルロンのスタートの様にぶつかりながら軽く海の中をのぞく感じ。実際のサンドバーとシュノーケルは足して30分程度だった気がします。とにかく慌ただしいです。せっかくの特別な場所なので、もっと人数を減らしたツアーだったら良かったなと思いました。

ウミガメシュノーケリング ホロカイ・カタマラン号 高確率でウミガメに会えるタートルキャニオンへ!ソフトドリンク&スナック付き<3時間/英語/ワイキキホテル発>

You can swim with honu (sea turtles)! ホヌ(海亀)と一緒に泳げます!

Reviewed by: ひろろ

Despite the meeting place being at Outrigger Reef, we ended up at Outrigger Waikiki and were 15 minutes late, but the boat arrived just after 8 o'clock. I guess that's American time, right? (laughs)

We arrived at the snorkeling spot in about 10 to 15 minutes. Since it was off Waikiki, we could see Waikiki Beach and the hotels while snorkeling. I was surprised to think we could see sea turtles from such a distance. But we quickly spotted a sea turtle floating on the surface!

As soon as we got into the water, the crew started throwing food to attract the fish. However, the only fish that gathered were dark-colored surgeonfish. There were hardly any colorful tropical fish. But a little further away, there were 5 to 6 of the main attraction, the turtles!!! The water depth was about 7 to 8 meters. The turtles were swimming at about 5 to 6 meters deep, but since I’m good at free diving, I was able to enjoy a rendezvous with the turtles to my heart's content. The turtles seemed accustomed to people and didn’t try to escape even when I got close. Well, touching them is prohibited, so I could only get close, but that was enough to be very satisfying! They occasionally surfaced for air, so even those who can’t dive can enjoy it.

The snorkeling lasted about an hour and a half. After that, we had a 30-minute cruise. The weather was nice, so although the sun was hot, the breeze felt great.

Drinks (cocktails, beer) and photos on board are available for a fee. The snorkeling gear is available for free rental, but there are no fins. I brought my own. The floatation devices are available for free rental, but there are no life jackets, so those who can’t swim might want to prepare accordingly.

待合せ場所がアウトリガーリーフにも係わらず、私たちはアウトリガーワイキキに行ってしまい、集合時間より15分も遅れてしまいましたが、ボートが来たのは8時過ぎ。アメリカ時間ってことでしょうか(笑)

シュノーケリングスポットへは10~15分程度で到着。ワイキキ沖のためシュノーケリングしながらワイキキビーチやホテルが見えるくらいの場所。こんなところで海亀が見えるの?って思う距離です。でもすぐに水面に浮いている海亀を発見!

早速水の中に入ると、船員が餌を撒いて魚を集めてくれます。しかし集まってくる魚は真っ黒のハギ系の魚だけ。カラフルな熱帯魚はほとんどいませんでした。でも、少し離れた所には本命の亀が5~6匹も!!!
水深は7~8メートルというところでしょうか。亀は5~6メートルのところを泳いでいたのですが、私は素潜りが得意なため亀との水中ランデブーを思う存分楽しむことができました。亀は人に慣れているのか近づいても逃げようとしません。ま、触れることは禁止されているので近づくだけですがそれでも十分満足できます!
息をするためにたまに浮き上がってくるので、潜ることができない人でも楽しむことができると思います。

シュノーケリングの時間は1時間半くらいでしょうか。
そのあとは30分ほどのクルージング。天気も良かったので日差しは暑いものの風が気持ちよかったです。

船内での飲み物(カクテル、ビール)と写真は有料です。
シュノーケリングセットは無料貸出ですがフィンはありません。私は持参しました。
浮き棒は無料貸出ですがライフジャケットもありませんので、泳げない方は準備された方がいいかもしれません。

It's fine even with children. 子供連れでも大丈夫

Reviewed by: リンディ

My child (in first grade) wanted to see fish, so we were looking for something easy to do. We were the only Japanese people on the boat departing from Outrigger. All the equipment instructions were in English, but it wasn't a problem at all.

My child enjoyed it, especially when the captain caught and showed us an octopus, which made them very happy. On the way back, we cruised towards Diamond Head, making it a great tour that finished in the morning, perfect for families with children.

子供(小学校一年)がお魚をみたいと言い、気軽に出来そうなものを探していました。アウトリガーからの出航で日本人は私達だけでした。器具の説明など全て英語てすが、特に問題ありませんでした。

子供も楽しめ、船長さんがタコを掴んで見せてくれて喜んでいました。
帰りはダイヤモンドヘッドの方までクルージングしてくれ、子供連れには午前中で終わる、いいツアーでした。

Preventing seasickness and keeping warm are essential!! 船酔いと防寒対策は必須!!

Reviewed by: satomi

The day before the snorkeling tour, Waikiki was sunny every day, but just before the meeting time, while having breakfast and looking outside, it started pouring rain and the wind picked up.
I thought, "Is this going to be canceled?" as my husband and I headed to the meeting place, but to our surprise, everyone was cheerful and said, "Once you're inside, it's the same! We're going ahead today!"
While I was relieved that it wasn't canceled, I couldn't help but feel cold waiting at the meeting spot due to the heavy rain and strong winds.

The snorkeling itself was a lot of fun, and I was very satisfied because I got to see many sea turtles and fish! We brought our own snorkel sets and fins, which made swimming easier. They provided us with foam sticks, allowing us to enjoy it for a long time.

However, the sailing after snorkeling was just freezing, and I was shivering. The towel I brought was wet from wiping off the rain and my body, so even covering myself with it didn't help, and even though I had never experienced seasickness before, I ended up feeling nauseous. The weather changed from rain to cloudy.

I realized I should have brought an extra towel for drying off and taken seasickness medication. When we left the hotel, it wasn't raining, so it was a big miscalculation.

シュノーケリングツアーの前日までは毎日晴天のワイキキでしたが、集合時間の少し前に朝食をとりながら外を見ると、大雨で風も強くなってしまった。
「これは中止かなぁ~」と旦那と残念に思いながら集合場所に行ってみると、「中に入っちゃえば同じだよ~!今日は催行OKだよ~!」と陽気な様子。
中止にならなくて嬉しい反面、大雨で風が強くて集合場所で待っている間も寒くてしょうがなかったです。

シュノーケリング自体はとっても楽しく、ホヌにもお魚にもたくさん会えたので大満足!!
私たちはシュノーケルセットとフィンも持参していたので泳ぎやすかったです。
発砲スチロールの棒は貸してくださり、長時間でも楽しめました。

しかしシュノーケリングの終了後のセーリングは、ただただ寒くて凍えていました。
持参したタオルも雨と体を拭いて濡れていたため、それを体にかけても寒くて、尚且つ、今まで一度も船酔いのした事のない私でも、船酔いしてしまいました。
お天気は雨から曇りになっていました。

船酔いの薬を飲んで、寒さ対策は忘れずに体を拭く以外のタオルを持っていったらよかったなと感じました。
宿泊ホテルを出発するときには雨は降っていなかったので、大誤算でした。

Molokini Crater & Turtle Arches Snorkeling Tour & Snuba Dive - Aqua Adventures

Superb Crew Hospitality & Premium snorkeling spots in Maui

Reviewed by: O&Y

The Crew aboard the Aqua Adventure are 2nd to NONE. Each and every member was awake and energetic at 6:30a and very hospitable from the moment we were in line reading the waivers. They were very respectful and helpful in every manner; they safely stored our shoes then firmly held our hands and arms to help us securely board the boat and engaged in getting to know us as they picked out the perfect snorkeling gear sizes for us. The Boat as well as Snorkeling instructions from the Captain were very informative yet personable with some light humor. At both snorkeling spots 1-2 of the crew members voluntarily guided us to the best snorkeling spots if we wanted to follow and showed us the largest sea turtles we have ever seen as well as an octopus and a starfish! The boat speaks for itself with the 2 350hp Cummings Diesel engines that made powering thru the fast wind from the North a piece of cake. Other tours had to take a much longer detour to get back due to the lack of horsepower

  • Turtle Town. I recommend buying an Olympus TG-820 or better

  • Fellow snorkeler

  • Another turtle near the surface

  • coral

  • Turtle Town cleaning station

A herd of 100! 100頭の群れ!

Reviewed by: oba

I participated on April 17, 2013. The weather was great, and I was able to swim with over 100 dolphins! I also saw about two sea turtles, and to my surprise, I was able to see a whale from the boat, which I thought was out of season. I felt like I had been saving my luck for this moment since I hadn't been very lucky lately.

One group probably had around 20 to 30 dolphins, and I went into the water three times, encountering them twice. I swam with four or five groups, so there might have been around 150 dolphins in total. It was just so lucky.

Our guide, Minako, was very clear in her explanations and had a bright personality, which was wonderful. I forgot the name, but Captain Papa? also took us accurately to the points, and during the whale watching, he kindly waited on the spot from when we dove until we surfaced.

My mother, who was with me, decided to stay on the boat at one point, saying, "I don't want to go in the water anymore today," but Minako frequently encouraged her not to push herself, so she was able to rest without hesitation. Since it was a tour with many entries, quite a few people chose to rest on the boat during the second session (snorkeling at the tropical fish and sea turtle points).

Even though the weather was nice, we had been snorkeling for quite a while, so it got quite cold, and the warm tea we received on the boat was much appreciated. The snacks were also quite delicious. I devoured a cinnamon pastry and cheese. I was a bit concerned about the calories in the cereal bar, so I took it home.

I really had a great time. I definitely want to take my husband, who stayed home this time, with me next time.

2013/4/17に参加しました。
お天気にも恵まれ、なんと100頭を超すイルカと泳ぐことができました!
ウミガメも2頭ほど見ることができ、おまけに時期が終わったかと思われたクジラも船の上から見ることができました。最近何かとツイていなかったので、「このために運をとっていたのか?」と思うほどでした。

ひとつの群れがたぶん2,30頭で、3回海に入って2回遭遇、4、5グループと一緒に泳ぐことができたので、もしかすると150頭くらいかもです。とにかくラッキーでした。

ガイドのミナコさんの説明はわかりやすく、明るい人柄でとても良かったです。お名前を忘れてしまったのですが、キャプテンパパ?もポイントまで的確に連れて行って下さり、ホエールの時も潜ってから浮き上がるまでその場で待機してくださるなど、親切でした。

同行の母が途中、「ちょっと今日はもう水に入りたくない」と船上に残っていたのですが、無理しないで~とミナコさんが頻繁におっしゃってくださっていたので、遠慮せず休むことができました。エントリー回数の多いツアーだったので、2時限目(熱帯魚やウミガメのポイントでのシュノーケル)はさすがに船上でお休みされる方が多かったです。

良いお天気と言えども、結構な時間シュノーケルしていたので冷えてしまい、船上でいただいた温かいお茶はありがたかったです。スナックも結構おいしかったです。シナモン系の菓子パンとチーズぺろりと食べてしまいました。シリアルバーはさすがにカロリーが気になって持ち帰りました。

本当に楽しかったです。
今度はお留守番してもらった夫もぜひ連れて行きたいと思いました。

I was anxious about not being able to meet... 会えなくてヒヤヒヤしましたが・・・

Reviewed by: MINA

This is my sixth time in Hawaii! I've wanted to join this tour for a while, and I finally participated this time.

Once we arrived at the port, we put on our wetsuits and immediately boarded the boat. The water temperature is low during this season, and the boat is fast, so being exposed to the wind the whole time was quite cold. Renting a wetsuit for $10 was definitely the right choice. By the way, everyone in the group rented one (laughs).

We set sail and searched for about two hours. Ultimately, we headed north up to just before the North Shore, but there was no sign of dolphins, and everyone was getting tired.

At that moment, we encountered a whale! It's rare to see one at this time of year. Everyone was thrilled by this unexpected encounter.

So, what about the dolphins? We received information from another boat that they were near the port! It was a case of "right under the lighthouse." We quickly headed south and managed to meet the dolphins. Depending on the day, there can be hundreds of them, but there were only a few on this day. However, I was really glad to see them clearly with my own eyes and to swim close to them.

After that, we moved to a snorkeling point and got to swim with about five sea turtles. They came close enough to touch.

The staff's energy was incredibly high throughout, so if you're not a fan of that kind of lively student-like atmosphere, it might be a bit overwhelming. Also, it's quite intense, so I don't think it's suitable for those who lack physical stamina or for older individuals. It really drains your energy.

I wonder if it varies by day? I've heard there are days when they can be found easily, which might make it easier. We had quite a struggle finding them. When we finally spotted them, it was like "Let's go!" and everyone jumped in at once (there were also people from other companies), so it got crowded, and I ended up getting kicked by someone’s fin.

But it all became a great memory.

ハワイは6回目!前からこのツアーに参加してみたく、今回ついに参加してきました。

港についたら、ウェットスーツを着用しすぐに船に乗り込みます。
この時期は水温も低いし、船は高速ですのでずーと風にさらされ寒いので借りて
大正解。有料で10ドルです。ちなみに参加者の全員が借りていました(笑)

出航して、2時間くらい??探し回りました。最終的にはノースショアの手前まで
北上し探しましたがイルカ先生は全くいる気配がなく、みんなお疲れモード。

そんな時に、クジラに遭遇!この時期にいるのは珍しいとのこと。
思わぬ出会いにみんな喜んでいました。

で、イルカ先生は?仲間の船から、港の近くにいるとの情報が!灯台下暗しですかね。
いっきに南下し、なんとかイルカ先生に会うことができました。
日によっては何百匹といるそうですが、この日は数頭でした。
しかしこの目でハッキリと見ることができたし、近くで泳ぐことができて本当に
良かったです。

その後はシュノーケルポイントに移動して、亀大教授と泳ぐこともできました。
5匹くらいいましたよ。触れるくらい近くまで来てくれました。

スタッフのテンションが終始バカ高いので、そういう学生ノリの賑やかなのが苦手な方は苦痛かも?
しかも結構なスパルタなので、体力に自信のない方、高齢の方には向いてないと思います。ものすごく体力を消耗します。

日によるのかな??すぐに見つかる日もあるらしいから、そういう日は楽チンなのかも。私達はなかなか見つからず苦労しましたからね。
みつかった瞬間、それいけーーーーって感じで、みんなが一斉に飛び込み(他の会社の連中もいるから)混みあっていて、前の人のフィンで蹴られる始末です。

でも全部がいい想い出になりました。

The voice of the dolphin was so cute! イルカちゃんの声がかわいかったー

In late April, I joined a tour because I wanted to see wild dolphins. I was amazed at how many there were! I was able to see several baby dolphins as well. The sight of Spinner jumping while spinning was so wonderful and exciting. The captain and the swim guide, Daisuke, were very kind, and the tour was a lot of fun. On the way back, they also showed us a manta ray, and I was moved to see a different side of the manta ray at night. I highly recommend both the night manta ray tour and the daytime dolphin tour! 😊

4月下旬、野生のイルカを見てみたくて参加しました。こんなにたくさんいるの!?と驚いてばかり。赤ちゃんイルカも数頭みることができました。スピナーちゃんが回転しながらジャンプしている姿がとっても素敵で興奮しました。キャプテンもスイムガイドのダイスケさんも親切にしてくださり、ツアーがとても楽しかったです。また帰りにマンタも見せてくれて、夜のマンタとはまた違った姿を見ることができ感動しました。夜のマンタツアーと昼のイルカツアー、両方おすすめです^^

On the day of the tour, it took about 40 minutes by taxi from the hotel where I was staying to the meeting point. After completing the check-in in English, I was handed a Japanese guidebook (about five A4 pages). I'm not very good at English, but I can understand simple Japanese, so please don't worry.

There were a total of 12 participants, including us. There were elderly people and small children as well. Additionally, there was one other Japanese person who could speak both English and Japanese, so they helped us out a lot.

Once we boarded the rubber boat and departed from the port, we picked up quite a bit of speed, feeling like we were on a roller coaster, which was thrilling. The wind felt nice, and the scenery was amazing. We even encountered a whale along the way.

After about 1 hour and 30 minutes, we arrived at Kealakekua Bay for snorkeling. The water was very clear, and we could see coral reefs and beautiful fish.

We snorkeled for about an hour at Kealakekua Bay, and then it was lunchtime on the boat. We had sandwiches, cookies, potato chips, and drinks. After that, we snorkeled for about another hour, thoroughly enjoying the sea of Kealakekua Bay. However, the water temperature was a bit low (late April), so if you stayed in for too long, your body would get quite cold, and the elderly participants went back to the boat early to take a break.

When we returned to the port, we were lucky to see a sea turtle and took some photos.

I was very nervous as I couldn't speak much English, but it seemed that we were fortunate with the people we met. An elderly gentleman from America was very kind to us, and even though we couldn't communicate well, it was a wonderful encounter, and I'm really glad I participated.

私は新婚旅行で、ハワイ島を訪れました。
スリリングな体験とハワイ島の綺麗な海を満喫したくて、このツアーに参加しましたが、想像通り素晴らしい思い出になりました。

ツアー当日、宿泊していたホテルからタクシーで約40分ほどかけて、集合場所に行きました。
英語での受付を済ませると、日本語ガイドの説明書(A4用紙5枚程)を手渡されます。
私はあまり英語が得意ではないですが、簡単な日本語なら通じますので、安心してください。

参加者は、私たちを含めて全部で12名でした。お年寄りや小さい子供も参加していました。また、私たち以外に日本人が1名いて英語と日本語が喋れたので色々とお世話になりました

いざ、ゴムボートに乗り港を出発すると、結構スピードが出てジェットコースターに乗っているような感覚で、スリル満点です。風が気持ちよく、景色も最高でした。なんと、途中でクジラにも出会いました。

約1時間30分程かけて、ケアラケクア湾に到着すると、シュノーケルです。海の中はとても澄んでいて、サンゴ礁や綺麗な魚を見ることができました。

1時間くらいケアケクア湾でシュノーケルしその後ボートの上でランチタイム。サンドイッチとクッキー、ポテトチップ、飲み物などがでました。その後また1時間くらいシュノーケルをしてケアラケクア湾の海をしっかり満喫できました。ただ水温が少し低めだったので(4月の下旬)長く浸かってると体がだいぶ冷え、年配の方は早めにボートに上がって休憩してました。

また港に帰るとウミガメがいて写真も撮れてラッキーでした。

英語がほとんど喋れずとても緊張してましたが、私たちの時は人に恵まれていたみたいでアメリカからきていたおじいさんに親切にしていただいたり言葉は通じないけど、とても素敵な出会いがあり参加して本当に良かったです。

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

Excellent adventure. Don't miss it!!

Reviewed by: Stone Family

This was awesome!!! We not only saw dolphins but we saw humpback whales at the end of their migration. They also took us to a reef where we snorkeled with a sea turtle and saw tons of tropical fish. The girls on the boat crew were awesome. Highly educated about the ocean environment and the sea creatures. This was definitely one of the highlights of our Hawaii vacation. Don't miss this activity. Especially if you can do it during the whale migration season. Also, Domingo, our shuttle driver that picked us up from the hotel was a great tour guide as well.

I rated it 4 stars because of the weather and the cold, but the cruise staff were such fun people and kept us entertained throughout. Perhaps due to the weather, the sandbar was a bit underwhelming, but we were lucky to see sea turtles popping up here and there, and we even spotted a manta ray.
I definitely want to try again on a nice day. More than that... I wanted to join that staff team!

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 want to participate again! また参加したい♪

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I was torn between a tour to swim with dolphins and this one, but I chose this tour because I wanted to go to Kealakekua Bay. Luckily, on the way there in the rubber boat, we encountered pods of dolphins multiple times! Each time, they stopped the boat to give us plenty of time to watch the dolphins. The dolphins swam right under the boat and next to us, so I felt like I was part of a dolphin tour too! I felt like I enjoyed this more than the dolphin tour I participated in on Oahu.

The day I participated wasn't very sunny, but Kealakekua Bay had incredible clarity and was the best! They also gave us plenty of time to enjoy ourselves, so I was very satisfied!

The travel time in the rubber boat is quite long. We went really fast without wearing life jackets, and there were times when we made sharp turns, so it was very bumpy. I was sitting at the front, so I felt like I was floating and it was a bit scary. But I thought it was much more fun than traveling by a regular boat.

イルカと泳ぐツアーと迷いましたが、ケアラケクア湾へ行きたかったのでこちらのツアーに参加しました。
ラッキーなことにゴムボートで湾まで移動する途中、何度もイルカの群れに遭遇!その度にボートを止めてたっぷりとイルカを見る時間を作ってくれました。
何度もボートの下やすぐ横をイルカが通ってくれたので、イルカのツアーにも参加した気分♪
オアフで参加したイルカのツアーより堪能できた気分でした♪

参加した日はあまり天気の良くない日でしたが、ケアラケクア湾は透明度抜群で最高!こちらでもあきるほどたっぷり時間を作ってくれたので大満足でした!

ゴムボートでの移動時間は結構長いです。ライフジャケットも付けずにすごいスピードで走るし、ときどき旋回もするので、すごく揺れます。私は一番前に座っていたので、体が浮いて怖かったです。でも船で移動よりずーっと楽しいと思いましたよ。

Reviewed by: KIRIMAFU

A friend of mine, who was experiencing Hawaii Island for the first time with children, said this tour was incredibly impressive. They thoroughly enjoyed the ocean around Hawaii Island. They were very satisfied to see dolphins, whales, and even turtles after disembarking. The captain's service was also enthusiastic, making the boat rush towards the shore and eliciting screams.

My wife, who cannot move her left hand due to the aftereffects of a stroke, was also very satisfied as she could enjoy snorkeling thanks to the life vest. However, she mentioned that holding on in the side boat made her hands extremely tired. It would be ideal to have a bit more space to sit facing forward.

I will also share the relevant part of my blog. This tour is an absolute recommendation for fully enjoying Hawaii Island. Thank you very much.

 脳梗塞の後遺症で左手が動かない妻も、ライフベストのおかげでシュノーケルまで楽しめて大満足。ただ、横乗りのボートはしがみつくのに手が疲れきったと言っています。前向きに乗るスペースも少しあれば理想です。

Reviewed by: 京都の一家

We are a family that participated on March 26. Thank you, Captain, Daisuke, and Kiwami, for your care.

Although the number of participants that day was fewer than usual, we were able to stay close to the dolphin group the entire time. Our eldest son was thrilled to swim alongside the dolphins, our second son was overjoyed to get close to them, and our youngest (6 years old) enjoyed watching the dolphins swimming in the ocean, even though it got cold and we had to return to the boat early; he said he had fun talking with the captain. The father was captivated by the dolphins' cuteness, while the mother felt like she became part of the group as they swam after the dolphins. Each of us was able to create unforgettable memories. In the family photo taken as we were leaving, everyone had smiles we had never seen before (laughs).

Not only was the encounter with the dolphins memorable, but the lively way the staff enjoyed their work also left a strong impression. The children were moved by it as well. Daisuke introduced us to his dolphin friend, and it felt like we had entered a different world from our everyday lives. Running over the waves in the blue sea, feeling the wind, was as fun as an attraction.

The hamburger shop recommended by everyone after the tour was delicious and had a great atmosphere; it was the best! Thank you for everything! We want to create another opportunity to meet the dolphins and everyone again!

To fully enjoy this dream-like moment, I think a waterproof digital camera, motion sickness medication, and a thick (warm) bath towel for those with small children are essential. Also, ginger candy was helpful for a bit of motion sickness.

3月26日に参加した一家です。キャプテン、ダイスケさん、きわみさん、お世話になりました。
その日は数自体は普段より少ないとのことでしたが、その分そのイルカさんグループとずっと一緒に、すぐ近いところにいることができました。
イルカと並走できたという長男、イルカに接近できて大喜びの次男、海を泳ぐイルカを見る事ができ、寒くなって早めにボートにあがったけど、キャプテンと話すのが楽しかったと言う三男坊(6歳)。
イルカの可愛さに魅せられた父に、イルカさんグループを追いかけて泳ぐうちに仲間になったような気分になった母。それぞれが、一生ものの思い出を心に刻む事ができました。帰り際に撮っていただいた家族写真にも、皆、普段見た事の無いような笑顔で写っていました(笑)
イルカさんたちとの出会いのみならず、スタッフの皆さんの生き生きとお仕事を楽しんでおられる姿も、強く印象に残りました。子供たちも感銘を受けていました。ダイスケさんのおともだちイルカも紹介してもらったりして、なんか普段生きている世界とは別の世界に行ったようでした。青い海を、風を受け波を乗り越えながら走っている時も、何かのアトラクションのように楽しかったです。

ツアー終了後に行った、皆さんお勧めのハンバーガーショップも、おいしくて雰囲気よくて、最高でした!なにからなにまで、ありがとうございました!
また機会を作って、イルカちゃんたちや皆さんに会いにいきたいです!

この夢のようなひと時をフルに楽しむために、防水デジカメと、酔い止めと、ちいさい子連れの方は厚手の(あたたかい)バスタオルが必須かと思いました。それに、ちょっとした酔いに、生姜飴が役に立ちました。

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

Just Terrific

Reviewed by: garathome

They pick you up at your hotel and drive you to the west side. They gear you up, they advise you not to touch or chase. You get on the water and if you're lucky, like us, you spot a pair of hump back whales. Then when they locate the dolphin herd, you get to swim among them for about an hour. Then you get to spend almost as much time over a reef, where you can swim with sea turtles and other fish. It was just terrific.

Then you get a decent sandwich and a drink, because you will be hungry after a full morning. Then they drive you back to Waikiki.

Excellent photo disk available to chronicle your trip, at a good price, if you wish. 400 photos of your trip + bonus file with great pics of dolphins, whales, and the area.

Only negative was no changing facility, public restrooms only. Also no bathroom on the boat so be prepared.

Definitely worth the price for this experience.

Has a great time! The crew was very nice and we enjoyed the ride. I think for the money we spent if people want a wetsuite top they shouldn't charge and extra $5. It kind of cheapens the experience. But, that being said it's a worthwhile adventure. Were glad we did it because snorkeling at the crate was awesome!

On March 30, 2013, I went with my family of three (10-year-old boy). The water clarity was somewhat low that day, and it felt like there were fewer tropical fish. However, we were able to encounter sea turtles. We were able to rent wet suits, so the 30-minute snorkeling was fine. On the way back, we enjoyed a relaxed atmosphere while sailing, and during the trips to and from the snorkeling spot, we also encountered whales together. They were quite close and impressive. Unfortunately, there was no Japanese-speaking crew, but it wasn't a problem at all.

Reviewed by: Ayu Suzuki

I had heard from my parents about their trip to see the lava before I was born, and I was really looking forward to this helicopter tour. The weather in Waikoloa was great, but there were a lot of clouds in the direction of Mauna Kea, which made me a bit anxious. Unfortunately, my worries came true, and due to bad weather, the tour to see the lava in Hilo was canceled. I was extremely sad, but I felt relieved knowing that the staff prioritized safety. The Japanese pilot mentioned that Waipi'o Valley is also wonderful, and that it was okay to cancel. He even said that they would refund the entire tour fee, so I asked my parents if we could go on the tour just to Waipi'o Valley. I had been on a helicopter in Japan before, but when we took off and flew over the vast land of the Big Island, I was moved by its grandeur. There were a few clouds and it rained a bit along the way, but flying over Waipi'o Valley felt like entering a completely different world, almost like a dream. I saw many waterfalls flowing between the valleys, and I wanted to drink from them. It was a little scary flying through the valley, but even at 12 years old, I was able to experience a lot of emotions.

私は、私が生まれる前に、パパやママが溶岩を見に行ったことを聞かせれていて、この遊覧飛行をとても楽しみにしていました。ワイコロアはとても天気が良かったのですが、マウナケアの方角は雲が多っかたので、ちょっと不安でした。不安は当り、天候が悪いので、溶岩が見れるヒロ方面はツアーが中止になってくれました。ものすごく悲しかったけれど、安全を第一に考えてくれるスタッフの皆さんに、残念な気持ちと裏腹に安堵の感がありました。日本人のパイロットの人が、ワイピオ渓谷も素晴らしいですよ、でもキャンセルしても構いません。ツアー料金は全て返しますとまで言ってくれて、パパとママにお願いをしてワイピオ渓谷のみのツア-に行くことにしました。日本でヘリコプタ-には乗ったことがあったけど、離陸のとき、ハワイ島の大地を飛んでいくとき、その広大な迫力に感動しました。少し雲があったり、途中で雨が降ってきたけれど、ワイピオ渓谷、まるで違う世界にきたような、夢をみているような感じがしました。渓谷の合間から流れ出る、たくさんの滝、飲んでみたくなりました。渓谷の中を飛んでいるときちょっと怖かったけれど、12歳の私でも多くの感動を味わうことができました。
