All Reviews for Snorkeling Cruises & Tours

Even my older child with pool experience and my second grader managed to keep up. A year later, they still haven't forgotten, so it seems like it will be a lifelong memory.

プール経験のある年長と小2のこどもも何とかついて行けました。1年たっても　忘れていないので一生の思い出になりそうです。

During the bus ride, they talked about various things related to Hawaii, so I wasn't bored at all. I only saw a few dolphins, but it was still quite fun. We moved by boat in search of dolphins → spotted dolphins and jumped into the sea → chased and swam after the dolphins!! → moved by boat again → jumped into the sea and swam!! It was quite physically demanding with all that repetition.

バスの移動中から色々とハワイのことをお話してくださったりして退屈しませんでした。イルカはボチボチくらいしか見れませんでしたけど、まぁまぁ楽しかったです。船でイルカを求めて移動→イルカ発見で海へ→ひたすらイルカを追いかけ泳ぐ!!→また船で移動→海へ飛び込み泳ぐ!!の繰り返しで結構、体力的にしんどいです。

I experienced it on April 2nd. It was disappointing that the water level at the sandbar rose to knee height and there was no sandy area, but I was amazed by the gradient of the ocean's color! During the sea turtle watching, I was able to see several turtles from a distance. We went snorkeling around a large coral table, but in some areas, there were only a few fish. When we moved, we encountered many fish, and two sea turtles appeared, swimming so close that we could almost touch them! They were incredibly cute, and quite big! If I followed them, it felt like they would take me to the Dragon Palace. There are also turtles resting under the coral, so it's worth looking closely for them! The burgers grilled on the boat were big and delicious! The staff were fun, and I was really glad to have taken this tour.

4/2に体験してきました。ｻﾝﾄﾞﾊﾞｰではひざ下まで水位が上がって砂地がなかったのが残念でしたが、海の色のｸﾞﾗﾃﾞｰｼｮﾝに感動！ウミガメｳｫｯﾁﾝｸﾞでは少し離れて何匹も見れました。ｼｭﾉｰｹﾘﾝｸﾞは大きな珊瑚ﾃｰﾌﾞﾙのまわりでしましたが、場所によっては魚が数匹しかおらず、移動してるとたくさんの魚と、そしてウミガメも二匹現れ触れるほどの近くで一緒に並んで泳ぎました！！
と～～ってもかわいかった、しかもbigサイズ！ついて行ったら竜宮城に連れて行かれそう。
珊瑚の下のほうで止まって休憩しているカメさんもいるので、よく探してみるといいですよ！
船で焼いてくれるバーガーもbigで美味しかった！スタッフも楽しい方たちで、このツアーで良かったです。

We participated with our 6-year-old and 1-year-old children. Our older child is not very good at swimming, so they were able to ride on a float and saw many dolphins! Both of us had a great experience ⭐️ We would love to participate again when we visit Hawaii!

うちは6才と1才の子供を連れての参加でした。
上の子は泳ぎが得意ではないので浮輪に乗せてもらい沢山のイルカを見たそうです！親子共に良い体験させてもらいました⭐️またハワイに行った折には参加したいです‼︎

It was unfortunately a slightly chilly and cloudy day. We took a shuttle van to the marina where the boats were. We split into two boats and headed out a bit to search for turtles. After that, we took some photos at the sandbar, but unfortunately, due to the weather, it didn't match the image of the bright white sandy beach I had in mind. However, during the snorkeling, we were able to see coral and turtles up close. I definitely want to participate again in the summer.

あいにくの少し肌寒い曇り空の日でした。
送迎のバンで船のあるマリーナへ。
2つの船に分かれて乗船し少し沖へ出て、しばらく亀さん探し。
その後サンドバーで写真を撮ったりしましたが、お天気のせいかイメージしていた青白い砂浜とはいかず残念…。
その後のシュノーケリングでは珊瑚や亀を真近で見ることができました。
次回は夏の時期にぜひ参加してみたいです。

Advertised as a catamaran, may have been in the truest sense...but not a sail or mast on the boat. Unable to go to Molokini due to high seas(6' swells), took us to a site a mile away from the harbor.

I understand the reasoning for not going to the atoll, however, a chance to get off the ship and get a refund were never offered.

All was not lost, hence the reason for not demanding a refund or a rescheduling, the crew was attentive, polite, and amusing. The relocation for snorkeling was quite nice with some beautiful fish.

Ultimately, I would not book again...sorry.

The weather was bad, the water was cold, and it was really chilly. However, I was grateful to be able to borrow a wetsuit! The staff were kind and fun, and it became a really great memory! I took motion sickness medication just in case, but we arrived at the spot in about 15 minutes after the boat departed, so it was totally fine! Also, the food we had on the boat was super delicious! The meat was tender! It was great to see sea turtles up close like that! Next time, I want to try again when the weather is nice!!!!

天気が悪く水が冷たくてとっても寒かったです涙。けれどウェットスーツを貸してもらえたので有り難かったです！スタッフの方も優しくて楽しくて、とてもいい思い出になりました！酔い止めも念のため飲んで行きましたが、船が出発してから１５分くらいで直ぐスポットに到着したので全然大丈夫でした！あと最後船の上で食べるご飯もとーーーーってもおいしかったです！お肉が柔らかかった！こんなに身近で海亀を見れたのもよかったです！今度は天気がいい時にリベンジしたい！！！！

The 4 of us had a great time! We have 2 14 year old boys with us. They saw turtles, large ones, fish, etc. The guys on the catamaran were really nice; a really fun cruise. My son wants to go again; we'll see.

I participated with my sixth-grade daughter at the end of March. The staff were fun and really nice, and the lunch they prepared on the boat was delicious. Yukiko took the best family photos for us.

Even though it was my first time snorkeling, thanks to the life jacket and fins, I was able to enjoy it despite not being a strong swimmer. Swimming with the fish and sea turtles was amazing.

From the boat, we were also able to see the rare manta ray cyclone.

However, it was really cold! Unfortunately, the weather was cloudy with strong winds. My wet body from practicing snorkeling at the sandbar got colder and colder on the boat, and even with a towel wrapped around me and a jacket on, I couldn't stop shivering. I wanted to do more snorkeling, but it was too cold, so we cut it short. My daughter ended up with a high fever at night, and we had to rush to the ER, experiencing both heaven and hell.

Even though it was hot in Waikiki, the temperature around the sandbar was quite different, so don't let your guard down.

When the weather is bad, I recommend not getting wet until the actual snorkeling and making sure to bring dry clothes. It might not be necessary if it's hot, but staying wet will continue to sap your body heat even on the bus ride back.

As an additional note, definitely get overseas insurance, and if symptoms are severe (especially for children), let's take them to the ER instead of using Doctor on Call (the worst!).

3/末に小6の娘と一緒に参加しました。スタッフは楽しくてとっても良い人たちだし、船上で作ってくれるランチはおいしかった。ユキコさんが最高の家族写真を撮ってくれました。
初めてのシュノーケリングでも、ライフジャケットとフィンのおかげで、泳ぎが苦手な私でも楽しめました。魚やウミガメと一緒に泳げたのは最高です。
船上からは、珍しいマンタサイクロンも見ることができました。

が、とにかく寒かった！あいにくの曇天と強風。サンドバーでシュノーケリングの練習のため濡れた体が、風をうける船上でどんどんひえて、タオルを巻いても上着を着ても震えがとまらず、本番のシュノーケリングも、もっとしたかったけど寒くて途中で切り上げました。
娘が夜高熱をだして、ＥＲに駆け込む羽目になり、天国と地獄、両方の気分を味わいました。
ワイキキは暑くてもサンドバーの辺りは気温がだいぶ違ったので、油断しないこと。

天気が悪い時は、本番までは体を濡らさないことと、乾いた着替えはちゃんと持つことを勧めます。暑ければ不要なんでしょうが、濡れたままだと帰りのバスでもどんどん体温奪われます。
さらに余談ですが海外保険は絶対入っておくことと、症状が重い時は（特に子供）ドクターオンコール(最悪！）ではなくＥＲにつれていきましょう。

Snuba was a great experience and Kevin the host was extremely patient and courteous. He took great care of giving us a full experience even and especially under water. We recommend highly .. Awesome ..

It was a tour I had wanted to try for a long time. The sandbar was underwater, but a large sea turtle welcomed us. We were able to enjoy paddle surfing and snorkeling, and had a great time. The illustration of the shuttle bus is really cute!

以前から行ってみたいと思っていたツアーでした。サンドバーは海の下でしたが、大きなウミガメが歓迎してくれました。パドルサーフィンやシュノーケリングもでき、楽しいひとときを過ごすことができました。送迎のバスのイラストがとってもかわいいです！

One of the things I want to try in Hawaii!
I highly recommend it to everyone!

It's been decades since I last went into the ocean (laughs). No need to worry, it's all good.
Even if you can't swim well, they will guide you to the points.
Thanks to the attentive care of the staff, I was able to meet the dolphins.

It seems that there was a massive occurrence that day (is that the right expression?)...
Daisuke and the staff said, "Don't expect to see this many dolphins all the time. It's a rare day when this happens a few times a year!"
It was a series of great excitement.
I was thrilled to see the dolphins dancing and even flying above the water's surface (about 2 meters away)!
I wished I could swim freely.
I was also able to hear the dolphins' calls.

Thank you, Daisuke, YUKO, and all the staff for this wonderful encounter.
Thank you very much! m(__)m

ハワイ島でやってみたい事のひとつ!!
皆さんにお薦めのひとつ!

海の中に入るなんて何十年ぶり(笑) ご心配ありません。大丈夫です。
上手く泳げなくても、手を引いてポイントに連れて行ってくださいます。
スタッフの方々の細やかな気遣いに助けられ、イルカちゃん達に 出会えました。

どうやら、この日は大量発生(表現がおかしい?)だったようで…
ダイスケさんをはじめスタッフの方は「いつもこんなにたくさん出会えると思わないで。年に数回の大量の日ですよ」
と、言っていたほど !! 大興奮の連続。
イルカのダンスも、、水面を飛んでる姿(2m位の至近距離)も見ることが出来 感激!!
自分が自由に泳げたら と 思いました。
イルカちゃん達の鳴き声も聞くことができました。

ダイスケさん、YUKOさん、スタッフの皆さん 素敵な出会いに感謝いたします。
ありがとうございましたm(__)m

Felt like I was on a cattle boat. Too many people. Hard time seeing anything. The whole time I was wishing I had researched better and booked on a smaller more intimate boat. Hardly any fish at Molokini then went to rocks south of Wailea and saw much more, but had just been there the day before on our own.

As we walked up to the harbor the staff was friendly and guided us in the right direction (since there's several different boats departing near each other) Right from the start the captain was very friendly. She introduced herself as well as her staff. As you get on the boat the captain explains to you what stops we will be making and exactly where we will be snorkeling. Unfortunately for us the first stop (right in front of lanai) was too windy so we had to go straight to our second stop. On our way there we saw a baby humpback whale with her mama whale. We stayed at our snorkeling spot for about half an hour to 45 minutes. We saw plenty of fish but unfortunately there were no turtles. Either way the view was very beautiful. On our way back to maui (from lanai) we drove right next to a pod of dolphins and that was probably the highlight of the trip for me. It was amazing seeing all the Dolphins jump out of water and they were very close to us!!! . As we saw the Dolphins and the whales, the captain would give us some info about them and she was very informative. The crew was helpful with making sure everybody was comfortable. They cook hot dogs and hamburgers for lunch and it was pretty yummy. It's a little bit hard to walk on the boat so the crew helped us take our food to the table, they walk around to pick up the trash, they hand out snorkel gear for those who need it, and the captain instructs us on how to dive in and where to snorkel. They also passed out some cookies after everyone ate and those cookies were delicious. They also offered complimentary beer or cocktails for those of age. Overall it was an awesome experience with awesome people. I would definitely recommend it. Some of the people got a little sea sick so I definitely recommend taking something before getting on the boat for those who have sensitive tummies.

HANDS DOWN THE BEST OF ALL OF THE EXCURSIONS WE DID. THE TOUR GUIDES WERE AWESOME AND FUN. I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS TO ANYONE AND WOULD DO IT AGAIN.

I participated at the end of February! Waking up early in the morning was tough, but there were so many dolphins that it was incredibly moving!! I was told that if you stop breathing through the snorkel, you can hear the dolphins, but there were so many dolphins that even while breathing normally, I could constantly hear their sounds!

Unfortunately, the waves were too high, so we couldn't do any marine sports, and the speaker broke, so we couldn't do the hula dance either. We were sent back to the hotel 1 hour and 30 minutes earlier than planned. I was happy to see a lot of dolphins, swim with turtles, and even see whales, although they were far away, but I wonder about the schedule not being adjusted despite the issues? Because of that, I didn't leave a tip.

I understand it's a business, but $60 for the photo CD is expensive! My friend wanted it, so I ended up buying it, but it's disappointing that we had to pay a high price for a CD that included other people besides us. I was advised not to take a camera while snorkeling with the dolphins, so I left it behind, but now I regret not bringing it.

2月末に参加しました！
朝早くから起きるのは大変でしたが、イルカがこれでもか!?っと言うほどいっぱいいて、超感動!!
シュノーケルの呼吸を止めるとイルカの声が聞こえると言われましたが、イルカが居すぎて、普通に呼吸していても、常時キュ～と言う声が聞こえていました～!!
残念なのは、波が高すぎて、マリンスポーツをやれず、またスピーカーが壊れてしまい、フラダンスも出来ず、予定より1時間30分早くホテルに帰されてしまいました。イルカもいっぱい見れて、亀と泳ぎ、遠かったけどクジラも見れてHAPPYでしたが、色々とスケジュールが抜けてもそのまま、っていうのはどうなんだろ？
そのため、tipは払いませんでした。
あと、商売なのは分かるけど、写真のCDR＄60は高い！友人が欲しい!!っと言っていたので、結局買いましたが、自分達以外の人とかが載ったCDRを高額で買わなきゃならないのは残念。
イルカのシュノーケルの時にカメラを持って行くのはお勧め出来ないと言われ、カメラを置いて泳ぎましたが、持って行けば良かったと後悔してます。

Highly recommended!

The boat is a twin-hulled vessel with dual propulsion and has a restroom. It moves within Kaneohe Bay, protected from waves by a coral reef, so there's hardly any rocking and no worries about seasickness. Participants were evenly split between Japanese and people from other countries.

It's reassuring that there are staff members who can speak Japanese.

I signed up without much expectation, but the sandbar was amazing!!! A vast expanse of white sand. People playing beach volleyball. English conversations, jokes, and laughter echoing around. Boats anchored here and there. Staff playing guitar and singing.

I truly felt like I had come to paradise. I will never forget this experience. I'm really glad I came.

At the turtle spot, I was able to see many turtles.

I was lucky enough to swim with turtles while snorkeling. They allow you to go without a life jacket, so you can enjoy deep dives. There are plenty of fish! About an hour of fun!

In March, the water is cold. It's fine while you're in, but it gets chilly once you get out, so be sure to bring a bath towel and a change of clothes.

The boat has a cabin and quite a bit of space, so you can bring in a fair amount of luggage. There are several staff members on each boat, and there’s always someone where the luggage is, so I felt safe from theft.

There are no showers, but at the end, they rinse you off with a bucket of fresh water.

Soft drinks are available for free. I was also happy to have hot cocoa after getting out of the water. The hamburgers for lunch were delicious.

All the staff were cheerful and made a great impression. They really seemed to enjoy being with the customers, which made it fun!

I met up at the location, but you can park for free at the boat harbor.

Like with any tour, changing from swimwear to clothes is done in the restroom. However, those using the shuttle can ride the bus in their swimwear.

Yuki, the Japanese staff member, was very efficient, humorous, and took great care of us.

I highly recommend this tour.

オススメのツアーです。

First of all, it’s a coastal area, but since we go out into the open sea, it can get rocky. I got seasick, even though I’m usually fine with marine sports.

As for the dolphins, it seems that most of the approximately 30 participants were able to see them, but I couldn’t.

There were moments when they shouted, “The dolphins are over there! Jump in!” and “They’re over here! Jump in!” It didn’t feel like we were swimming together with them. When I desperately swam and looked around underwater, I could see them.

All the participants were Japanese. There were two staff members who could speak Japanese, and the others could mostly communicate as well. It was impressive to see the staff working hard to energize the somewhat reserved Japanese participants.

I was more impressed by the snorkeling than the dolphins. The water clarity was amazing!! It was about 10 meters deep, I think. The high transparency made it feel like I was flying in the sky, and the fish were beautiful, which was very moving. I’ve done snorkeling on other tours, but this one was by far the best!

The staff’s enthusiasm to help us see the dolphins and their desire to make it enjoyable was a very likable aspect of the tour.

まず、、、沿海ですが外海に出ますので揺れます。
そして酔います。普段からマリンスポーツでならしている私でも酔いました。

イルカですが、ツアー参加者30人程度の大多数が見れたようですが、
私は見れませんでした。

あっちにイルカが来た！それ飛び込め！、こっちにいる！飛び込め！
といった感じで飛び込みます。一緒に泳ぐという感じではないかな？
そして、必死に泳いで水中を見回すと見れるようです。

参加者は全員日本人。スタッフも日本語話せる方二人。その他の方もだいたい話せます。
ノリにくい日本人を必死に盛り上げるスタッフの姿が印象的。

私はイルカよりもシュノーケリングに感動しました。
水の透明度がすごい！！
水深10mくらいでしょうか。
透明度が高いのでまるで空を飛んでいるようで、魚もきれいで、とても感動しました。
他のツアーでもシュノーケリングしましたが
ここのがダントツです！

なんとかイルカを見てもらいたいというスタッフの熱意と
楽しませたいという思いが好感持てるツアーでした。

I researched the dates of high and low tides for the sandbar in advance on the internet and signed up for a morning tour on the day with the lowest tide during my stay in Hawaii. As a result, I was able to walk on the completely exposed sandbar. For those who are considering signing up for this tour, I highly recommend checking the dates of high and low tides beforehand.

However, even when the sandbar is completely exposed, there are designated spots where the boat can approach, and it stops a little away from the sandbar. Everyone has to get off the boat and walk a short distance in the water, which is up to waist-deep. We had an elderly grandmother with us who had no intention of getting in the water, including snorkeling, but she didn't know this and ended up participating in her underwear. She had to quickly take it off and walk in the still cold seawater up to her waist in late March, which was quite confusing for her.

Since we had an elderly grandmother and two elementary school children with no snorkeling experience, our whole family did not participate in snorkeling. However, if you don’t snorkel, you will have to wait on the boat for a while, which can be a bit boring. For those who are unsure about snorkeling, I recommend going for it. I think it would make the tour much more enjoyable.

The snorkeling spot seemed to have a lot of fish, and the participants appeared to be having a great time. There were also small fish, sea turtles, and pufferfish around the boat that we could see.

It’s best to wear your swimsuit beforehand, and the return bus has towels laid out on the seats, so you can ride back to the hotel in your swimsuit. It would have been helpful to know this information in advance, but I wasn't sure how to ask about it through VELTRA, so I was uncertain until just before departure whether to bring a change of clothes. I thought it might have been better to book the tour through HIS instead.

インターネットで事前にサンドバーの満潮干潮の日にちを調べて、ハワイ滞在中に一番干潮になる日の午前のツアーに申し込みました。なので、完全に水が引いているサンドバーを散歩することができました。これからこのツアーに申し込まれる方は、ぜひサンドバーの満潮干潮の日にちを下調べしてから、申し込まれるといいですよ。
ただ、サンドバーは完全に水が引けている時でさえも、船は近づける場所が決まっていて、サンドバーから少し離れたところに止まり、みんな船から降りて水の中を少しだけ歩いていくのですが、船を降りるところは腰まで水に浸かります。
うちは高齢のおばあちゃんがいて、シュノーケルをはじめとして水に入る気が全くなかったのですが、それを知らなかったため、下着を付けて参加していて、急遽脱がなくてはいけなくなり、3月下旬でまだ冷たい海水に腰まで浸かりながら歩かなければいけなかったので、戸惑わせてしまいました。
高齢のおばあちゃんと、シュノーケル経験がない小学生２人がいたため、シュノーケルは家族全員参加しませんでしたが、シュノーケルをしないと船の上でしばらく待っていることになるので少しつまらなかったです。シュノーケルをどうしようかと迷っている方は、思い切ってなさった方がいいです。そのほうがずっとずっと楽しめるツアーになると思います。
シュノーケルの場所は魚がたくさんいるみたいで、参加されて方々は楽しいようでした。一応、船の周囲にも、小さな魚たちや、ウミガメ、フグがやってきて見ることができました。
水着は事前に着用して参加し、帰りのバスも座席にバスタオルが敷いてあり、水着のまま乗り込んでホテルまで帰ることができます。こうした情報が、事前に知れるとよかったのですが、VELTRAさんを通してだとどういう風に聞くのか分からなかったので、着替えを持っていくのかどうかと出発直前まで悩みました。ＨＩＳ経由でもツアー申込ができたので、そうすればよかったかなと思いました。

日本語ガイドがいる日本船と　英語のみの英語船とがありました。
私たち家族は英語船へ、母と友人は日本語船へ乗船。

I was disappointed because I had only seen the sea turtles once, despite reading experiences where people encountered them multiple times. Since we had to wear life jackets, I couldn't dive in, and I just watched them swim by, which felt anticlimactic.

It depends on the weather and the experience of the guide, so I understand that it's not always possible, but I had hoped to see them for a longer time. I think those who are not used to snorkeling might have seen even less.

Regarding the tip, I hadn't made any special requests, and there was no particular service provided, yet I was quite forcefully asked for a tip. I reluctantly paid, but it was the first time I had been asked for a tip on an optional tour. I was not satisfied with that.

　　【何回もいるかに会えました】の体験談を読んでいたためか、一度しか見られなかったので、残念でした。ライフジャケットを着用しなければならなかったので、潜ってみることも出来ず、海の中を通り過ぎていくのを見ただけで、あっけなく終わってしまいました。
　　当日の気候や、引率の方の経験に左右されるので、仕方のないことですが、もっとゆっくり見ていられると期待していました。シュノーケリングに慣れていない方は、もっと見られなかったと思います。
　　それからチップに関してですが、、特別なお願いもしていませんでしたし、対応もされてなかったのですが、チップをかなり強引に求められました。仕方なく払いましたが、オプショナルツアーで、チップを求められたのは、初めてです。納得できませんでした。

I participated with my 8-year-old daughter. Since diving was still too much for her, we opted for snuba. My daughter dove into the sea without a care in the world and seemed very satisfied. Unfortunately, the water temperature was low, so it was a bit chilly after we got out, but the kind service from the staff made us forget the cold. There was more than enough food for breakfast and lunch, and the attentive service took care of everything while we just sat there.

Additionally, we were pleasantly surprised to see a whale, and we encountered countless dolphins, with the added bonus of them jumping at the front of the boat. We were blessed with good weather, and everything was absolutely satisfying.

8歳の娘をつれて参加です。ダイビングはまだ無理なのでスヌーバを。私たちの心配も他所に ぐんぐん海へ潜っていった娘は 大満足だったようです。水温は生憎低かったので上がった後少し寒かったのですが、寒さを忘れさせてくれるようなスタッフの優しいサービス。食事も朝、昼十分すぎるほどありましたし、また座っているだけで全て賄ってくださる行き届いたサービス
加えて、期待してなかった鯨が見られたり
イルカは数えきれないほど出逢え、かつ船の先頭をジャンプのサービス。
お天気にも恵まれ、全てが大満足でした

Last time, the weather was clear and the water was shallow, just like the application page, but this time it was cloudy and cold, with deep water, which was far from the expected image. I was disappointed by the low energy of the staff and their unwillingness to take us to the shallowest area.

前回は快晴で水も浅く、正に申込ページのようでしたが、今回は曇りで寒く、水も深くイメージとはかけ離れた状況。。
それ以上にスタッフのテンションの低さと一番浅いところまでも連れて行ってくれない対応にがっかりしました。

I have seen wild dolphins several times before, but this was the most exciting experience yet. First of all, I was amazed by the number of dolphins! There must have been at least 100 (and that's not an exaggeration). I was really glad to see so many dolphins. The staff members were also a fun group. During the snorkeling time, I encountered a turtle. I wished I could have stayed in the ocean even longer.

これまで野生のイルカは何度か見ましたが、今までで1番興奮しました。
まず、イルカの数にビックリ‼100頭はいたでしょうか？（大袈裟ではないです）
あんなに大勢のイルカを見れて本当に良かったです。
スタッフの方々も楽しいメンバーでした。
シュノーケルの時間も、亀に出会えました。
もっともっと海に居たかったです。

I participated in the morning. On the day I joined, the sandbar had water depth up to my knees, and the sandbar was not visible. It was quite cold, and I shivered. It's definitely better to wear a rash guard or something similar. Once you get into the water for snorkeling, you get used to the cold. The fish are quite deep down, so they can be a bit hard to see. However, there are plenty of coral reefs, and you can see some fish. When you dive and come back up to the boat, it gets cold again, so I recommend bringing a larger bath towel. Anyway, all the staff here are very energetic and friendly! I would love to participate again next time!

午前に参加しました。参加した日のサンドバーは水深がヒザぐらいまであって、サンドバーは見えなかったです。結構寒くて震えました。ラッシュガードなど必ず着た方がいいです。シュノーケリングで水中に入ってると、冷たさは慣れてきます。魚はかなり下の方にいるので少し見えにくいです。でもサンゴ礁がいっぱいでそれなりに魚も見れます。潜って船上に上がるとまた寒いので大きめのバスタオルを持参することおススメです。とにかくこちらのスタッフさんは皆さんとても元気で感じのいいスタッフさんばかりです！また次回参加したいです！

I booked the Holoholo without doing much research right before my trip. The captain and crew were very cool, and the participants were from various countries. The stunning views and my first snorkeling experience became unforgettable memories. I might do it again! (laughs)

旅行直前にあまり調べずに申し込んだホロホロ号。キャプテンやクルーはとても格好良く、参加者は国際色豊か。素晴らしい絶景と初めてのシュノーケリング忘れられない経験になりました。またリピるかも（笑）

I was able to see dolphins, sea turtles, and even whales from a distance. Right after departing, we discovered a group of dolphins and were able to swim close to over 50 of them. I was also able to swim within touching distance of sea turtles.

The staff and other participants were friendly, making for a very enjoyable experience. Although there were some engine troubles along the way, the staff's quick thinking allowed us to enjoy that as well. Since it was the end of February and the water was cold, I borrowed a wetsuit, but I thought a rash guard might have been sufficient.

I'm glad I participated.

イルカもウミガメも、そして遠くからですがクジラも見ることができました。
出港してすぐの浅瀬でイルカのグループを発見し、５０頭以上と間近で泳ぐことができました。
ウミガメにも触れそうな距離で泳ぐことができました。

スタッフの方も他の参加者もフレンドリーでとても楽しく過ごすことができました。
途中エンジントラブルがあったりしましたが、スタッフの方の臨機応変な対応でそれすら楽しむことができました。
２月の終わりで水が冷たいとのことでしたので、ウェットスーツを借りましたが、ラッシュガードなどでもよかったかな〜と思いました。

参加してよかったと思います。

I was told by the travel agency to book the Heaven's Sea tour early, but I completely forgot, and the tour was fully booked. So, I used Veltra.

There were a lot of tour guests on a large bus, just like those I often see in Japan. I thought it might be hard to relax with so many people, but once we got to the sea, I was able to enjoy it all to myself.

Until we reached the port, a cheerful guide provided explanations in English. After that, we took a 10-minute boat ride to the sandbar. First, we walked in the shallow water and played beach volleyball. The guide took photos of us in various poses, which became great memories.

We moved to a spot where we could see turtles and snorkeled around some deeper coral. I was thrilled to swim alongside sea turtles, which I never expected to do. The hamburgers for lunch were freshly grilled on a BBQ set on the boat, and they were the best!

天国の海ツアー、早めに予約してくださいね、と旅行会社の方に言われていたのですが、すっかり忘れていて旅行会社でのツアーは満席。
そこで、veltraを利用しました。
日本でもよく見る大型のバス一杯のツアー客でした。
こんなにいたら、のんびりできないのでは…？なんて思いましたが、いざ海にいってみたら、充分独り占めできました。
港に着くまで、陽気なガイドさんが説明をしてくれます(英語)
そこから、船に10分ほどのって、サンドバーへ向かいました。
まずは、浅いところで、歩いたり、ビーチバレーをしました。そこで、ガイドの方に写真を撮っていただいたのですが、何通りものポーズでとっていただき、いい思い出になりました。
亀を見ながら場所を移動し、少し深い珊瑚の周りで、シュノーケルをしました。
海ガメと一緒に泳げるとは思わなかったので、感激しました。
お昼のハンバーガーも、船のうえのBBQセットで焼きたてで、最高でした！

We set sail on the Zodiac and within less than 20 minutes, we unexpectedly encountered a family of whales. It was an astonishing surprise when a baby whale swam beneath the boat, and both the participants and the guide were thrilled. We could even hear their calls through the underwater microphone. After playing with the whales for about 30 minutes, we moved the boat forward for about 10 minutes and encountered another family of whales. It was an unexpected experience. After finishing snorkeling in the beautiful sea with Captain Cook's monument, a large pod of dolphins appeared, swimming around the boat, and we lost track of time as we all cheered together. It’s rare to have such encounters with whales and dolphins, but we had an unexpected experience, making it a wonderful tour.

ソディアック号で出港して20分足らずで何と鯨の家族とバッタリ遭遇。子鯨がボートの下で泳ぐというビックリするようなハプニングで参加者はじめガイドさんも大興奮。水中マイクで鳴き声まで聞けました。30分程鯨と遊んでから10分ほどボートを進めると別な鯨の家族と遭遇。思いがけない体験ができました。キャプテンクックのモニュメントがある綺麗な海でのシュノーケリングを終えると今度はイルカの大群が現れボートの周辺を泳ぎ、時を忘れて皆で歓声を上げました。今回ほど鯨やイルカと会えることは珍しいとのことですが、思いかけない体験ができ、素晴らしいツアーになりました。

Fabulous time, saw young humpbacks repeat breeches very close to the boat. Best part was when the sails were up. Well worth it.
