It rained early in the morning, and it was a bit chilly, but the weather gradually improved, allowing us to enjoy the beautiful sandbar! Since I was barefoot, my feet hurt a bit on the sandbar, but I was able to enjoy it as part of the natural experience. While snorkeling, I was able to see sea turtles, corals, and various creatures living among the corals up close. My family seemed to be fine, but I got cold while snorkeling and felt chilly; however, the warm tea and mushroom soup really warmed me up. I thought I would like to visit the sandbar again at a different time in a different season if I get the chance.
早朝に雨が降り、少し肌寒い中でしたが徐々に天気も良くなりキレイなサンドバーを楽しむことが出来ました!裸足だったのでサンドバーは足が痛いところもありましたが、それも自然、と満喫できました。シュノーケリングではウミガメやサンゴ、サンゴに済む色々な生物も間近に見ることができました。家族は大丈夫だったようですが、私はシュノーケリングで体が冷えてしまって寒い思いをしましたが温かいお茶とマッシュルームのスープが体にしみました。
また機会があったら違う季節の違う時間にサンドバーに行ってみたいなと思いました。

I participated in early September. First of all, I want to thank the staff for their cheerful service. I had a very enjoyable time. I was able to see turtles up close, and it was a great tour with no complaints at all. I definitely recommend it over budget tour companies.
9月上旬に参加させていただきました。スタッフの皆さまの明るい対応にまず感謝。非常に楽しく過ごせました。亀も間近に見れましたし、全く文句なしのいいツアーでした。激安ツアー会社より、絶対お勧めです。
This is a Captain Bruce's Paradise of the Sea Tour.
I'm really glad you enjoyed the tour. Please come back and visit us again. We look forward to seeing you!

I participated on September 4th. From the moment I got on the shuttle, Beat was already giving off a fun vibe. The staff were very friendly, and I had a great time surrounded by the blue sky, blue sea, and stunning scenery that looked like a painting.
During snorkeling, I was happy to see many sea turtles. The mushroom soup was comforting for my chilled body.
The only disappointment was the DVD I signed up for, thinking it would be a family-only shoot with a professional photographer. After taking a few initial shots, when I tried to take off what I was wearing, the guide said it would be confusing, so I kept my rash guard on. However, the finished DVD only included the same shots taken by the photographer at the same location as the guide's initial photos... I was told they would chase and capture various moments, but it was disappointing that the background and everything else remained unchanged.
Other than that, I had a lot of fun, so I give it four stars.
9月4日に参加しました。もう送迎車のビートさんからすでに楽しいオーラが出てました。
スタッフの皆さんとても感じがよく、青い空、青い海、絵にかいたような素晴らしい景色の中楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。
シュノーケリングではたくさんの海亀に会えてハッピーでした。冷えた体にきのこスープもしみました。
ただ一つ残念だったのは家族だけでプロカメラマンに撮影してもらえると聞いて申し込んだDVDです。
最初何枚か撮影した後に着ているものを脱ごうとしたらガイドさんにわからなくなるからと言われラッシュガードをずっと着ていましたが出来上がったDVDは最初にガイドさんが撮ってくれた同じ場所でカメラマンが撮ったものだけ・・・
追いかけて色々とってくれるからと聞いていたのに背景も何も変わらず残念でした。
それ以外はとっても楽しかったので星4つで。
Thank you very much for participating in the activity. We sincerely apologize for your dissatisfaction with the content of the DVD. We will strive to ensure that both the tour and the DVD provide 100% satisfaction to all our customers. Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback after your return home.

We set sail from the port and first went turtle watching. The weather was clear and the wind was calm, so we were able to see several turtles, and we even happened to spot a manta ray! We spent about 40 minutes on the sandbar, doing 20 minutes each for photo taking and snorkeling. We finished everything in the morning, but I think it was a very fulfilling activity.
船で港から出港してまずは亀のウォッチングをしました。
この日はよく晴れていて風も穏やかだったので亀を何匹も見ることができて、たまたまマンタも見られました‼
サンドバーの上陸時間は40分程度で、写真撮影とシュノーケリングを20分ずつやりました。午前中に全て終わりましたがとても内容の濃いアクティビティだったと思います。

We traveled at high speed while sitting on the edge of the boat. This meant we faced away from the water and had to turn sideways to look in the direction we were going. To see the surface of the water or what lay ahead, we had to turn our necks. Fortunately, it wasn't crowded, so I was able to sit at an angle and change my posture as needed. A white woman sitting in front of me lost her hat when the boat sped up. The captain caught it on the spot, so there was no issue, but it might be better to wear a swimming cap from the start.
The destination, Kealakekua Bay, is home to many colorful fish and a diverse underwater landscape that keeps things interesting. However, guests on the tour from the sea are not allowed to disembark on the land where the Captain Cook statue is located. We couldn't spend too long underwater, and since I was getting hungry, when we returned to the boat, the captain cut up some fresh pineapple for us. The freshly cut fruit on the boat was delicious. The lunch sandwiches were just average in taste.
On the way back, we toured points of the lava formations, but the term "Lava Cave Adventure" in the tour name is a bit exaggerated. We didn't pass through any long cave-like structures. While listening to the English explanations, we observed the unique topography of the volcanic island. I thought it would be difficult to understand everything without a certain level of language skills. This tour offers not only the highlight of snorkeling but also the chance to spot dolphins and whales from the boat, along with the thrill of high-speed travel, making it a very rich experience. However, since you'll be outside all day under the blazing sun, it's essential to take adequate sun protection measures. By the way, I forgot to apply sunscreen on my thighs, and while moving around on the boat, direct sunlight hit that area the whole time, causing my skin to turn bright red.
ボートの周囲のへりの部分に腰かけた状態で、高速で航行します。ですので、水面に背を向けて、進行方向に対して横の方を向いて座ります。途中、水面を見たり、進路の先を見るには首を回さなければなりません。幸い、満員ではなかったので、適当に斜めに座ったり、適宜姿勢を変えたりして、移動しました。目の前の白人女性の参加者は船がスピードを上げた際に帽子を飛ばされていました。その場で船長がキャッチしたので事なきをえましたが、帽子は、スイミングキャップを最初から被っていた方が良いかもしれません。目的地のケアラケクア湾は水中にカラフルな魚がたくさんいますし、海底の光景も変化に富んでいて飽きません。ただし、海上からのツアーで訪れた客は、キャプテンクック像のある陸地には上がっていけないことになっています。それほど長い時間、水中だけで過ごす訳にもいかず、お腹もすいたので、ボートに戻ると、船長がその場でパイナップルを切り分けて出してくれます。船の上で食べる切り立てのフルーツがおいしかったです。ランチのサンドイッチは、まあ普通の味です。帰りは溶岩地形のポイントを巡りながら出発地点に戻るのですが、ツアー名にあるような「溶岩洞窟アドベンチャー」という言い方は少々大げさです。細長い洞窟みたいな中を通って抜けるようなこともありません。英語の説明を聞きながら、火山島ならではの独特な地形の観察をしていきます。ある程度の語学力がないと、全部を理解するのは難しいと思いました。このツアーは、目玉のシュノーケルだけでなく、船上からイルカやクジラを眺めるチャンスもあり、高速航行でのスリルあり、大変盛りだくさんの中味の濃いツアーだと思います。ただし、一日中、炎天下にいますので、日焼け対策は十分にしていく必要があります。ちなみに、私の場合、膝上部分に日焼け止めを塗るのを忘れていたところ、船上での移動中、ずっとそこに直射日光が当たっていて、皮膚が真っ赤になりました。

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。

Both my 19-year-old daughter and I are not good swimmers, so we were anxious about participating, but the instructor held our hands and swam with us, which made us feel safe and allowed us to enjoy the experience. The underwater scenery was beautiful, and we even encountered four sea turtles, making it feel like we were swimming together. We were also surprised that we spent about 60 minutes diving. I definitely want to participate again.
私も19歳の娘も泳ぎが苦手で、参加するのが不安でしたが、インストラクターの方がずっと手を引いて泳いでくれたので、安心して楽しめました。海中はとてもキレイで、なんと4匹の海ガメにも出会え、まるで一緒に泳いでいるようでした。約60分も潜っていた事にも驚きです。是非、もう一度参加したいです。

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。

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。

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 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.

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!

The trip was a wonderful experience for both adults and children. The guides were amazing. They were eager to share their incredible stories. Highly recommend the tour.

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~

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.

This time, because it was high tide, the sea was deep and I couldn't play much with my child.
The lunch BBQ was quite disappointing... I hope they can improve it a bit.
The atmosphere and being able to see the sea turtles were really great.
今回、満ち潮だったので、海が深く子供と一緒に
あまり遊べませんでした。
ランチBBQはとってもおそまつ。。。
もう少し改善してほしい。
雰囲気やウミガメを見れたのはとっても良かったです。

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。
Thank you very much, Tomomi, for participating in two dolphin tours, the manta night tour, and the Big Island's charm tour during your stay. We truly appreciate your valuable feedback, and all of our staff would like to express our gratitude.
I believe you are the first guest to join so many of our tours in one stay, which has left a strong impression on our staff. Please come back to visit us and meet the dolphins of the Big Island again. We all sincerely look forward to the day we can see you again. Aloha!
Tomomiさん、ご滞在中、2回のイルカツアーご参加、そしてマンタナイトツアー、ハワイ島の魅力全開ツアーもご参加頂きまして本当に有難うございました。貴重なコメントも頂きスタッフ一同お礼申し上げます。
一度の滞在中にTomomiさん程うちのツアーにご参加になられた方も始めてかと思います。なので、我々スタッフの印象に強く残っております。又私達、そしてハワイ島のイルカに会いに帰って来て下さいね。、再びお会いできる日をスタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げます。アロハ!

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。

First of all, Allen our instructor was very cool. We felt right at home and we got lucky that we had only 1 other family with us so we got great lessons. The views of hanauma bay is like something from a postcard!!! The snorkeling is so amazing and we even got to swim with turtles!! This is a must too because the line to get in is long but with Allen we went right to the front. First class service for sure. Most important thing: underwater camera we bought the best on the market just for this reason and it was so worth it!!

As soon as we arrived, we watched a video, changed, and went snorkeling. We quickly learned the basics of breathing and how to position ourselves in the water before setting off. At first, I thought the time would be short, but it was more than enough. The snorkel was new and of the type that doesn't let water in from above, so it was very easy to use. We encountered a turtle just as we surfaced and were able to see it up close. We also saw some humuhumunukunukuapua'a! Later, the guide told us we swam from one end to the other. The schools of fish were breathtakingly beautiful. I thoroughly enjoyed Hanauma Bay! Thank you very much.
着いてすぐにビデオを見て、(←英語なのでよくわからない)着替え、シュノーケリング。基本的な呼吸の仕方や海での体勢の整え方などを簡単に習って出発。初め、時間は短いかと思ってましたが、十分でした。シュノーケルは新しく、水が上から入ってこないタイプだったので、とてもやりやすかったです。ちょうど海面に上がってくるカメと遭遇し、間近で見ることができました。フムフムも見れました!後からガイドさんに聞いたら、端から端まで泳いだとのこと。魚の群れは感動するほど美しかったです。ハナウマ湾、満喫できました!ありがとうございました。
