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>

The color and clarity of the sea that you want to see at least once. 1度は見てみたい海の色と透明度

Reviewed by: vanilla

I participated in the afternoon BBQ tour on September 17. This was my first time on the tour to Kaneohe, and I had been a bit anxious since I had never had good weather before. However, the weather was really nice on the day of the tour. The water depth at the sandbar was about knee-deep (which is normal for this time of year), but the colors and clarity were truly beautiful. I wasn't expecting much from the staff's service or the BBQ, but both the variety and taste were of high quality for this type of tour. Snorkeling was optional. Knowing that there aren't many types or numbers of fish, we enjoyed the colors and clarity of the sea around the boat. Just swimming with goggles was fun! You can request a DVD for an additional fee. We were the only ones who ordered it, but I'm glad we did (the first photo I posted is one they took). It was $45. I think it's worth seeing the colors and clarity of the sea at least once. By the way, you can only see sea turtles from the boat, so if your goal is to see sea turtles, you might want to consider another tour.

9月17日に午後のBBQツアーに参加しました。カネオヘへのツアーは数回目でしたがこのツアーは初&今まで天気に恵まれた事がなかったのでチョット不安。でも当日は本当にいい天気でした。サンドバーの水深は膝程(これはこの時期の普通だとか)でしたが、色と透明度は本当に美しかったです。スタッフの対応、BBQも期待していなかったのですが、種類、味共にこの手のツアーとしては質が高かったです。シュノケールは自由参加。もともとあまり魚の種類、数は多くないのを知っていたので、私達は船の回りで海の色と透明度を楽しんでいました。ゴーグルつけて泳いでるだけでも楽しいです!別料金でDVD作成が頼めます。頼んだのは私達だけでしたが頼んでヨカッタです(投稿写真1枚目は撮ってもらったものです)。$45でした。1度見ておいて損はない海の色と透明度だと思います。ちなみに海亀は船から見るだけなので、海亀目的ならば他のツアーがいいかも。

The color of the sea I've never seen before. 初めて見る海の色

Reviewed by: おやじギャグ

On September 15th (Monday), my spouse and I participated in the afternoon BBQ course. We became very interested after seeing a post on Alan1.net and decided to sign up.

On the day of the event, we were picked up on time, and after going to about four or five pickup locations, we had to wait for about 30 minutes at the last pickup spot, possibly due to a mix-up with other participants, but we departed safely. The driver seemed a bit irritated and didn’t say a word until we arrived, but there was a radio broadcast introducing the sandbar, featuring a lively young woman who enjoys entertaining participants.

After departing, there was an introduction of the crew, and the captain was a former sumo wrestler from the Higashi-Kan room who had to retire due to a serious injury. Our guide was Eri, who humorously referred to herself as the "Iijima Ai of Hawaii." She looked youthful and energetic, not at all like someone with a high school-aged child, and it turned out she was the same woman introduced on the radio.

We arrived at the sandbar in about 15 minutes, and the color of the sea was unlike anything I had ever seen, truly resembling "heavenly waters." We quickly entered the water and strolled along the sandbar. I thought walking over coral might be painful, but it felt just like walking on a sandy beach and was not bothersome at all. After about 30 minutes of walking, those who wished to participate could go snorkeling. When we moved to a depth of 20 meters, we could see various fish through our goggles.

When we returned to the boat, a barbecue was prepared to satisfy our hunger after all the activity. There was an all-you-can-eat option, and the amount provided was more than we could finish. The meat was tender and flavorful, and the foil-grilled asparagus was especially excellent.

After the meal, we set off for turtle watching. Eri guided us to a spot with a 99.9% guarantee of seeing turtles, and the boat was filled with excitement when we spotted them swimming.

I am grateful to Eri, who kept the atmosphere lively throughout the trip and didn’t mind my bad jokes. Thank you so much, Eri! This was my sixth visit to Hawaii, but I had no idea such a wonderful place existed. I definitely want to participate again next time.

9月15日(月)午後のBBQコースに夫婦で参加。Alan1.netの書き込みを見て大変興味がわいて申し込んだ。
当日は予定時間どおりにピックアップされ、その後4~5ヵ所ピックアップ場所を回ったが、最後のピックアップ場所で参加者との行き違いだったのか30分程待たされたが無事出発。
ドライバーさんは、いらいらしていたのか着くまで一言も話さなかったが、車内のラジオでサンドバーを紹介したFM放送が流され元気の良いお姉さんがいて参加者を楽しませるのが趣味との紹介もあった。
出港後現地に着く間クルーの紹介等があり、キャプテンは元
大相撲の東関部屋で力士の経験者で現役中に大怪我をしてやめたとの事。案内してくれるのはエリさんで自称ハワイの飯島愛と言う位で高校生のお子さんがいる年齢には見えない若々しく元気の良いお姉さんで、ラジオで紹介されたお姉さんはエリさんであることが判明。
15分程でサンドバーに着くが、今まで見たことのない海の色で、まさに「天国の海」そのものである。
早速海に入りサンドバーを散歩するが、珊瑚の上を歩くという事で痛いかと思ったが海岸の砂浜のようにぜんぜん気にならない。約30分程散歩の後、希望者はシュノーケリングに参加。深さ20メートルの場所まで移動するといろいろな魚が眼鏡越しに見られる。
船に戻るとバーべキューが用意されており動いた後の空腹を満たしてくれる。当然食べ放題であるが、食べきれないほどの量が用意されている。肉も柔らかく味もそこそこで特にアスパラガスのホイル焼きは最高であった。
食事後は海がめウォッチングに出発。エリさんが99.9%
保証付きの場所に案内されると海がめの泳ぐ姿に船内は騒然となった。
出港から戻るまで終始しゃべりどうしで船内を楽しませてくれたエリさんに感謝するとともに、私の駄洒落にもいやな顔せずつきあってくれたエリさん、本当にありがとうございました。
ハワイは今回で6度目ですが、こんな素晴らしい所があるとは知りませんでした。次回も是非参加したいと思います。

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

Kealakekua Bay exceeded my expectations. ケアラケクア湾は期待以上

Reviewed by: ジャカランダ

I participated in the Fair Wind morning cruise. Above all, it was wonderful that they provided a "box snorkel" for someone like me who struggles with breathing through snorkel gear! It's the kind of equipment used for catching sea snails, with a box that has glass, allowing for excellent visibility of the crystal-clear underwater world. However, it seems that the number is limited, so I recommend expressing that you can't swim to get one! They also lent me a banana-shaped float to wear around my waist and a black inner tube, so there's absolutely no need to worry for those who are anxious about swimming. People of all ages, from small children to the elderly, were enjoying snorkeling.

In a calm bay with almost no waves, I was able to observe a wide variety of fish, and during lunchtime, we even encountered a pod of dolphins swimming offshore from the deck of the boat! Lucky people must have been able to swim quite close to them. They also film everything from boarding to underwater, so couples on their honeymoon might want to actively get filmed and purchase the DVD as a nice keepsake. I appreciated that the crew did not pressure for tips when disembarking. The clarity and calmness of the water are significantly better than at Hanauma Bay.

フェアウインドのモーニング・クルーズに参加しました。
何と言っても、シュノーケルギアで呼吸するのが苦手な私にとっては、「箱メガネ」のようなものを貸してくれる所が素晴らしい!さざえを捕るときの漁で使うようなもので、BOXにガラスが入っていて透明度抜群の海中が、ラクラク見通せます。ただし、数が限られているようなので、泳げないんです!と訴えてGETすることをお勧めします。腰に巻くバナナ型のフロートと、黒い浮き輪も貸してくれて、泳ぎに不安の
ある方でも全く心配ありません。小さな子供から、かなりの年配の方まで、シュノーケリングを楽しんでいました。
波がほとんどない穏やかな湾で、魚の種類も実に多く観察でき、ランチタイムには船のデッキから、沖を行くイルカの群れにも遭遇できました!ラッキーな人は、かなり近くを泳ぐことができたはずです。乗船時から水中まで、DVD撮影をしてくれますので、ハネムーンに来たカップルなどは積極的に映してもらってDVDを買うのも、良い記念になると思います。降りるときに、クルーの人たちがチップを強要しない所も好感がもてました。透明度と波の穏やかさは、ハナウマ湾より格段上です。

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>

Paradise!! 楽園!!

Reviewed by: kota

We participated with our family at the end of August!

Among the many dolphin tours, we chose Private Dolphin Middle School because the start time was late and it seemed easy to enter the water with the speedboat. The lack of information about meal times made it seem like meeting dolphins and turtles was the primary goal. And our expectations were spot on! It’s rare for things to go just as you hope, but this plan allowed us to play to our heart's content☆

Now, about the dolphins, on the day I participated, we were able to swim with them while they were playing in the shallow waters. At first, they seemed to be in a group, but then they split into two. I stayed with the smaller group, and they swam leisurely while playing, coming so close that I could almost touch them if I reached out! However, when they decided to swim fast, they were incredibly quick, and it was over in an instant as they returned to the open sea.

I was completely satisfied to have swum with the dolphins! After that, we moved to the sea where the turtles live. Here, we experienced another amazing moment!!! Swimming with the turtles was also incredibly wonderful. In terms of relaxation, I might even think that turtles are more soothing than dolphins... I felt like I caught a glimpse of the Dragon Palace.

Even now (September 11), I’m still soaking in the wonderful experience. Even though I just returned, I’m already thinking about participating again if I visit! (*^_^*)

8月末に家族で参加しました!

数あるイルカツアーの中で、私立イルカ中学を選んだのは、開始時間が遅い事と、スピードボートでしかも海に入り易そうな形であった事。食事時間等が書いてなくイルカやかめに合う事が第一目的に思えた事でした。
そしてその予想は大的中!!思った通りって実は中々ないのですが、「こうだったらいいのになっ」と言うプランで、思う存分遊ばせて頂きました☆

さてさて、問題(笑)のイルカですが、私が参加した日も、浅瀬で遊んでいて、一緒に泳ぐ事が出来ました。
最初は、群れていたようですが、途中で二手に分かれました。私は少ないイルカについていたのですが、彼らは遊びながらゆったり泳いでくれて、手を伸ばせばあたっちゃう!と思うほどの距離まで近づく事もありました(*^_^*)
でもやはり本気になったら早い早い(笑)沖に戻って行くのはあっという間でした。

イルカと泳げた事で大満足!のうえ今度はカメを見に、カメのお家のある海まで移動。
ここでまた新たな感動が!!!カメと泳ぐ事もとってもとっても素敵です。癒しの要素で言えば、イルカよりもカメの方が断然上かもしれない・・・なんて思ってしまったりして☆
竜宮城を垣間見た気持ちになりました。

今(9月11日)になっても、まだ余韻に浸るほどの、素晴らしさ。
また訪れたら絶対参加したいと、帰ったばかりなのにもう思ってます(*^_^*)

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

The underwater scenery was breathtaking. 海中の景色は感動ものでした

Reviewed by: HANCHAN

Following my visit to Mauna Kea in February, I signed up for this tour and it was a great decision. It seems that this location is not accessible to the general public, and when I asked locals, they mentioned they had participated several times with their families. There appear to be many repeat visitors. Although there is no Japanese support, it didn't pose any problems for us.

As for the meeting point, while the main map clearly indicates the location, it can be quite confusing, so I recommend allowing extra time to get there. We did a preliminary visit the day before.

The weather was good, and even so, snorkeling in the ocean felt like entering another world. Especially in the shallow areas, various tropical fish swam close enough to touch, which was truly moving. We also enjoyed diving from the slide, feeling like kids again.

However, in the shallow areas, be careful not to damage the coral and watch out for sea urchins. I accidentally touched a sea urchin and got a spine stuck in my finger, which was quite painful. It was difficult to remove. I was advised to wrap it with paper soaked in vinegar, which did help, but I felt it would be better to have preparations for removing spines on hand.

It's rare to find a tour that makes you want to participate again and again. I highly recommend it.

 2月のマウナケアに続き、こちらに申し込みましたが、大正解でした。ここは一般では行けない場所のようで、現地の方に聞いても家族で数回参加しているとのこと。リピータも多いようです。日本語対応ではありませんが、本旨には問題ありません。
 現地集合の場所ですが、主な地図には場所が明記されているものの結構迷いますから、時間には余裕を持って出かけたほうが良いと思います。私たちは前日に一度下見をしました。
 天気はよかったのですが、それでもシュノーケルをつけて見渡す海中は別世界。特に浅瀬では手が届くところに様々な熱帯魚が泳ぎ回り、感動ものです。滑り台からのダイブも、二人で童心に返って楽しみました。
 ただ、浅瀬ではサンゴを傷つけないよう、またウニに注意です。私は知らずにウニに触ってしまい、棘が指に刺さって痛い思いをしました。なかなか抜けないのです。酢を浸した紙で包んでおくと浮き出してくると教わり、実際そうだったのですが、刺抜き等の準備はしておいていただいた方が、とは感じました。

 何度でも参加したくなるツアーはそうありません。お奨めです。

There are many dolphins♪ イルカが沢山♪

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

At 6 AM, a bus came to pick us up, and after about an hour of dozing off while swaying, we got ready and boarded the boat. As we set off, just a little offshore, we already spotted dolphins! After a few more minutes of traveling, we discovered a pod of dolphins!

Participants jumped into the sea one after another, wearing masks and fins, and we could hear the dolphins' calls. Although the dolphins were faster and kept a bit of distance, it was my first time desperately chasing after a dolphin swimming right below me. It was completely different from the dolphins at an aquarium and definitely worth seeing.

It might be a good idea to bring a larger bath towel. The water temperature was a bit low in the morning, and while the boat ride was fun and fast, it was cold on the way back. The snack set provided in a bag was very tasty and came in handy.

In the afternoon, we headed out to the North Shore and enjoyed the Tantalus night view.

朝6時台にバスでお迎えが来て、うとうとと揺られること1時間程。
準備をして船に乗り、さあ出発!と船が動き出してちょっと沖に出るともうイルカが!ここは見るだけで更に走ること数十分。イルカの群れを発見!
マスクを付けて、フィンも付けて参加者が次々に海に飛び込むと、イルカの鳴き声が聞こえて来ました。
一緒に泳ぐ、といってもイルカの方が速いし、距離はちょっと離れてたけど、自分のすぐ下を泳いで行くイルカに必死になって追いすがるなんて初めて♪
水族館のイルカとは全く違うし、一見の価値ありです。
大き目のバスタオルを持参した方がいいかも。水温は朝だからちょっと低いし、ボートはスピードがあって楽しいけど
帰りは寒かったな。
バッグ毎くれた軽食セットがとてもおいしく重宝しました。

キラウエア火山 ヘリコプター遊覧 水~土曜日10:30限定で日本語パイロットのリクエスト可能<フライト100分/英語パイロット/ワイコロアヘリポート>

Experience the powerful threat of Kilauea. キラウエアの脅威のパワーを実感

Reviewed by: MARUKO

We participated as a family of four (with children aged 2 and 0). The seating is assigned by the pilot based on the weight of all passengers to maintain the stability of the helicopter, so there’s no guarantee you’ll get a window seat. The pilot speaks in English, so you’ll understand the names of the areas, but if you’re not confident in English, just enjoy the scenery. The ride is smooth, with hardly any turbulence.

The lava flow varies in volume and direction depending on the day, so whether you get to see a spectacular lava flow is a matter of luck. The biggest appeal of the helicopter is that it can get very close to areas that are absolutely inaccessible from land, which is a different level of excitement compared to a Cessna.

If you decide to participate, I recommend going in the morning when the weather is relatively stable, as it tends to rain in the afternoon in Hilo. On a clear day, you can see Mt. Mauna Loa up close and Mt. Mauna Kea in the distance.

During the flight, the scenery and our moments are filmed by the helicopter's onboard camera, and you can purchase the DVD afterward as a travel memory (around $25). This is an experience you can't have in Japan, so if you're staying on the Big Island, definitely give it a try. (However, I wouldn’t recommend bringing a 0-year-old along...)

家族4人(子供2歳・0歳の)で参加しました。座席はパイロットがヘリの安定を保つため全搭乗者の体重を考えて指定されるので窓側に座れるとは限りません。
 パイロットの話す言語は英語なので、各エリアの名前程度は分かりますが英語が苦手な方は景色を楽しんで下さい。乗り心地は良く、揺れもほとんどありません。
 ラバフローは日によって流れ出る量や方角が異なるので、迫力あるラバフローが見られるかどうかは運次第です。
 ヘリの最大の魅力は陸上からは絶対に近づけないエリアに低高度でかなり至近距離に迫れるので、セスナ機とでは迫力が違います。
 参加するなら天候の比較的安定している午前中のなるべく早い時間帯がおすすめです。ヒロは多雨地帯なので午後は雨に降られる確立が高いとのことです。快晴だと、間近にMt.マウナロアを、遠くにMt.マウナケアを見ることができます。
 飛行中の景色や自分達の様子はヘリ搭載のビデをカメラでフルタイム撮影されていて、終了後DVDとして旅の思い出に是非買って下さい($25程度)。
 日本では出来ない体験なので、ハワイ島に滞在したら是非体験して下さい。(ただし0歳児を一緒に搭乗させることはさすがにおすすめはできません・・・)

My husband, 7 year old daughter and I attended the Trilogy Snorkel Cruise - Maui Discover Ka'anapali on Tuesday Aug 12th 2008.
We have both been snorkelers/divers since college in the early 90's, and were very happy with the tour.
The staff was professional, friendly, and full of history and knowledge of the area. The food was amazing, better than many of the restaurants on the island!
The first stop was incredible, lots of fish, coral and turtles. Our second stop was just around the corner but we were greeted by a pod of ~100 dolphins as we anchored. Lucky for us they stayed nearby and allowed us to swim toward them. Then amazingly they surrounded us and wild dolphins were everywhere, below us, to the sides, in front and behind. Swimming, jumping, and diving within an arms reach! This was truely a once in a lifetime experience and I am thankful to Trilogy for their care towards the environment and sincere connection with the sea.

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>

I have been swimming with dolphins every year lately. このところ毎年イルカと泳いでいる。

Reviewed by: あんどう

Shortly after setting sail, we received news of dolphins! Although there were only a few, it was touching to see a mother and her baby swimming closely together (nursing?). When we hurried to chase them, they quickly swam away, but when we swam slowly, we could see their relaxed姿 up close. Later, at the turtle house we visited, there were about five or six sea turtles of various sizes resting, and they would occasionally come up for air, getting so close that we had to dodge to avoid bumping into them. For those who have never snorkeled before, practicing a bit beforehand will make the experience even more enjoyable. If anyone is heading to Hawaii, I highly recommend this tour.

 出航して早々にイルカ出現!の報せ。数は少なかったが親子で寄り添って(授乳?)泳ぐ姿が見られて感動。あせって追いかけると向こうも速いスピードで逃げていくけれど、ゆったりと泳ぐと彼らのリラックスした姿も間近に見られる。そのあと観にいった亀ハウスには大小5~6頭のウミガメが休んでいて、時々息継ぎに浮かんでくると急接近してぶつからないようにこっちが身をかわすほどだった。シュノーケリングをしたことがない人は、少しでも練習してから行くとより楽しめる。これからハワイに行く人がいたら、ぜひすすめたいツアーだ。

I got to see dolphins and sea turtles!! イルカと海亀に会えた!!

Reviewed by: ちい

The day before, my husband was down with a sunburn, so I participated alone, but the staff and the other participants were all warm and friendly, which made it enjoyable.

I was a bit anxious because I had severe seasickness during the shark tour the day before, but this tour's boat felt like a rafting boat, allowing us to enjoy a bit of thrill while heading out to sea. I didn't feel sick at all and had a great time.

There were so many dolphins swimming right in front of us, jumping around, and I was so excited! This time, the dolphins were swimming really fast... I wished they would swim a bit slower... The staff lamented, but when we timed it right and jumped into the water, there were so many dolphins swimming below us! It was incredibly moving.

I dove three times and saw dolphins each time. For the fourth dive, we went to a sea turtle spot. The turtles were swimming leisurely right nearby! They came close enough that I could reach out and touch them. I think there were about six of them. It was very mystical.

When I told my husband about it, he regretted not being able to join. I definitely want to participate again the next time I go to Hawaii! I will be a repeat customer! Thank you very much.

 前日に旦那が日焼けでダウンし、1人での参加となったのでうが、スタッフはもちろん参加していた方達も温かい方達ばかりだったので、楽しく参加できました。
 前々日にサメツアーに参加した時、船酔いがひどかったので少し不安はあったのですが、このツアーのボートはラフテリングボートのような感じで少しスリルを味わいながら海に出たので、全然酔わずに、楽しかったです。
 イルカが目の前でたくさん泳いでいてジャンピングしている姿に大興奮!今回はイルカの泳ぐスピードが早い…もっとゆっくり泳いで~…とスタッフが嘆いていたのですが、タイミングと場所を見計らってドボンッと海の中へ入ると、下にいっぱいイルカが泳いでいる!!大感激でした。
 3回ダイブして全部イルカが見れました。
 4回目には海亀スポットへ。悠々と泳いでいる姿がすぐそこに!手を伸ばせばすぐ触れるぐらいの所まで海亀がきてくれました。6匹ぐらいはいたと思います。とても神秘的でした。
 旦那にも話をすると行けなかった事をすごく悔やんでいました。また次にハワイに行ったらぜひ参加したいと思います!!リピーターになります!!

I was moved by the beauty of the ocean. 海の美しさに感動

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I always enjoyed playing at Waikiki Beach, but we decided to try Kailua, which is said to be "the number one beach in the U.S." We went with low expectations. However, as soon as we arrived, I was captivated by the blue of the ocean and was absolutely thrilled. I had heard that it could be windy, but when we went in December, there was hardly any wind and the sea was calm. I even thought, "I want to live here forever." We all decided that we would definitely come to Kailua every year.

いつもワイキキのビーチで満足して遊んでいましたが、「全米ナンバー1のビーチ」というカイルアにいてみようという話になり、あまりに期待しないでいきました。しかし、着いたとたん、その海の青さのとりこになり、もう大感激。風が強いと聞いていましたが、12月にいったのですが、風はほとんどなく穏やかな海でした。「もうずっとここに住みたい」とまで思いました。毎年絶対にカイルアに来ようと家族全員で決めました。

Even in bad weather the guys made it fun - it was a downpour to say the least and honestly they couldnt have cared less - basic opinion was: its warm, your in Hawaii, your gonna get wet anyway so lets do it drudda! Killer time. Went twice with the family including our 6yoa son who was 4yoa at the time and once with some friends and each time it was the same killer service and fun! Dont go any place else... im coming back in Sept 2008 and you knowwwww I will be making another trip...ummm do get I discount yet or what guys??? :)

Holo Holo Super Kauai Snorkel Tour - Niihau & Na Pali Coast Adventure with Breakfast, Lunch & Drinks

A Great Day

Reviewed by: Sadiej

Captain Chris and his crew took care to make sure every passenger was looked after and made to feel at home. Watching the sun come up on the Na Pali coast was spectacular and the snorkeling spot was to die for.
The water can be rough so take precautions for sea sickness.
This was a great trip. I personally didn't need to have the "Forbidden Isle" portion. It's forbidden because you can't go anywhere near it.
All said though - a very good trip!

It was a pleasure to have you aboard, and we are so happy to know how much you enjoyed it! Until we meet again... Mahalo and Aloha

Great tour! Great tour!

I believe everyone who has the chance to go on this tour should go!

The price is perfect, the deep blue ocean is beautiful, and YOU CAN MEET DOLPHINS!! I have never experienced seeing wild dolphins in such huge numbers and hearing their sounds! It is one of the best experiences I have ever had!

If you go to Hawaii, be sure to check out this trip!

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 a pleasant tour! 気持ち良いツアーでした!

Reviewed by: ALOHA娘

My husband and I participated together. Since it was a tour without a Japanese guide, we were the only Japanese participants, but we received a Japanese guide (notices, etc.) during check-in, so as long as you have some experience with snorkeling and can communicate in English to some extent, you can enjoy it without any problems!

It was an afternoon tour, and we were blessed with good weather. The boat trip to the Captain Cook monument was very pleasant (my husband did feel a bit seasick, though...). We saw a lot of fish, and we were very satisfied to see a large turtle at the start of the trip.

Also, it was appealing that it was a tour without transportation since we had rented a car. However, I think it would be tough without a rental car. The parking was vaguely marked as Keauhou Bay, so I was a bit unsure about where it was, but when we actually went, a kind local man helped us out, so it wasn't a problem!

This is one of the tours I would like to join again if I have the time.

ダンナと2人で参加しました。日本語ガイドがないツアーのため日本人参加者は我々だけでしたが、チェックイン時に日本語のガイド(注意書きなど)が渡されるので、あとはシュノーケルツアーに参加したことがある方、少しでも英語でコミュニケーションがとれる方であれば問題なく楽しめます!
午後からのツアーでしたが、天気にも恵まれ、キャプテンクック碑まで行く船旅もとても気持ちよかったです。(ダンナは若干船酔していましたが・・・)
魚もたくさん見れましたし、出発時には大きなカメも見れて大満足です。
また、レンタカーを借りていたので送迎なしツアーであったことも魅力でした。ただ、レンタカーなしの場合は厳しいと思います。駐車場はケアウホウ湾とおおまかに記されていたので若干どこかな~と思いましたが、実際に行ったら近所のおじさんが親切に教えてくれたので問題なかったです!
時間があればまた参加したいツアーのひとつです。

It became a great memory. いい思い出になりました。

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

We participated in an afternoon cruise. We were looking forward to swimming with the fish, and it was a wonderful experience. There were many colorful fish around the coral reef, and it felt like we were swimming in an aquarium.

The day we participated was cloudy, so perhaps because of that, the seawater was colder than we expected, and I was a bit surprised when I first entered the water. However, once in the sea, I had such a great time that I forgot about the cold. The cruise and snorkeling created very lovely memories. Next time, I definitely want to meet dolphins.

私たちは午後のクルーズに参加しました。魚たちと一緒に泳ぐのを楽しみにいきましたのでとてもいい経験をしました。サンゴ礁の周りにはたくさん、色とりどりの魚がいて、水槽の中を泳いでいるようでした。
参加した日は、曇りだったからなのか、海水が思ったより冷たく、最初は海に入る時は少しビックリしました。しかし、海の中では冷たさを忘れるくらい楽しい時間をすごせました。クルーズして、スノーケリングできて、とても素敵な思い出となりました。今度は是非、イルカにも会いたいです。

モロキニ島 シュノーケリングクルーズ <英語ガイド/食事・アルコール2杯付き>

That's good. いいんじゃない

Reviewed by: マナティ

I participated in the Trilogy tour for the first time, and the boat ride was comfortable. The captain and other staff were friendly and fun, making for a very enjoyable experience. The BBQ lunch was delicious, and the Diet Coke I had after a long time felt refreshing.

If I had to mention something, the captain explained the history of Molokini Island and the second point we visited (maybe along the coast of Kihei), but my wife and I only speak broken English, so we couldn't understand anything, which was disappointing. It would be great if there were a tour in Japanese.

On the bright side, we did get to see a green sea turtle, and we returned to the harbor while relaxing and taking photos with the sails up, which added to our wonderful memories.

初めてトリロジーのツアーに参加しましたが、船での移動も快適だし、キャプテンほかスタッフも親しみ易く楽しい人たちで、とても楽しく過ごせました。昼のBBQランチもうまかったし、久しぶりに飲んだダイエットcokeも新鮮でした。
しいていえば、モロキニ島や2度目に行ったポイント(キヘイの沿岸かな)の歴史などをキャプテンが説明してくれたのだけれど、僕ら夫婦は片言英語しかできないので、まったく理解できなかったのが残念です。日本語のツアーがあるといいんだけれど。
一応、アカウミガメにも会えたし、セイルを張ってのんびりと写真など撮りながら帰港したなど、いい思い出が増えました。

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>

My elementary school daughters had a lot of fun too! ♪ 小学生の娘達もたくさん楽しめました~♪

Reviewed by: SATO家

I participated in a tour on July 8th. For my fifth and third-grade daughters, it was their first overseas trip, and amidst some anxiety, we finally got to meet wild dolphins, which had been our dream!

After reading various comments, I decided on this optional tour, but I had many concerns about whether my children, who had never snorkeled before, would really enjoy it... However, I called ahead to confirm, and their kind response put my mind at ease. We made sure to get enough sleep the night before, and with preparations like motion sickness medication, sunscreen, and measures against the cold after getting out of the water, the kids didn't feel burdened. We practiced snorkeling at Waikiki Beach the day before.

The staff taught us how to prevent fogging on the snorkels, how to put them on, and when to wear them, and since we wore life vests in the water, there was no worry about drowning.

On July 8th, we first snorkeled in a spot where colorful fish gathered, and we even encountered a turtle there. I was surprised that while snorkeling, my younger daughter was casually saying, "Ah! A turtle! Gill! Dory! Bubbles!" (Has she watched FINDING NEMO too much??). When we moved to the turtle point, a strangely-shaped turtle was swimming quite close to us. There was only one, but it seems my daughters touched its shell... Later, I told them, "You shouldn't touch it because it won't come back to the point." I'm sorry.

At the point where the dolphin pod was gathered, many boats were clustered. We entered the water while observing the dolphins and other boats to avoid startling them, and then we desperately but quietly followed the dolphins. Dolphins are graceful but swim so fast! (Of course, they do...) My younger daughter told me, "Mom! Swim faster!"

Next time we join a tour, she says her goal is not just to chase after the dolphins but to play with them as well.

Thank you to all the staff for a wonderful time. SATO's mother.

7月8日にツアーに参加しました。
5年生と3年生の娘たちにとっては初めての海外旅行で不安の中、念願の野生のイルカとの対面を果たしました!

いろいろな方のコメントを読み、このオプショナルに決めましたが、シュノーケル未体験の子供たちが本当に楽しめるのか沢山の不安が・・・
でも、出発前に電話をして確認し、親切な対応に一安心。
前の日に睡眠をとっていて、酔い止めや日焼け止めや海からあがってからの寒さ対策などの用意があれば子供たちに負担はかかりませんでしたよ。ウチはシュノーケルは前日にワイキキビーチで練習しました。
スタッフの方がシュノーケルのくもり止めやくもらないつけ方・着けるタイミングなども教えてくれますし、海での中ではベスト着用ですので、溺れる心配はありません。

7月8日は・・まず色とりどりの魚の集まる場所でシュノーケル、ここでカメにも出会いました。
シュノーケルしてるのに下の娘が「あ゛っ~カメ!ギル!ドリー!バブルス!がいる!!」(FINDING NIMOの観すぎ??)と普通にしゃべっているのにも驚きました。
カメのポイントに移動すると甲羅の歪なカメが相当近くで泳いでいました。一匹でしたが娘たちは甲羅に触ったらしく・・後で「ポイントに来なくなるから触ったらいけないよ」と伝えました。ごめんなさい。
イルカ集団が集まっているポイントにはたくさんの船が集まっていました。
イルカを刺激しないようにイルカと他の船との様子をうかがっての入水、その後は必死にでも静かにイルカの姿を追いました。イルカって優雅だけど泳ぐの速い!(そりゃそうだけど・・)下の娘に「ママ!速く泳いで!」と注意されました。
次回ツアーに参加するときにはイルカの姿を追って泳ぐだけでなく、イルカたちと戯れたいのが目標だそうです。

スタッフの皆様、楽しい時間をありがとうございました。SATO母

The world of the sea in the South Islands. 南島の海の世界

Reviewed by: Andy

I participated in the "Fair Wind Cruises - Kealakekua Bay Snorkeling" tour on June 21. It seems that the southern part of the Big Island often has cloudy weather, and this time was no exception, with a bit of cloudiness. However, taking a peek underwater revealed a completely different world! Tropical and colorful little fish were swimming joyfully. The combination of bright blue water with yellow, orange, red, and blue colors was absolutely beautiful. And then, there was a massive migration of gray fish! It felt like a dream. On the way back on the boat, as the speed picked up, a pod of dolphins swam playfully right alongside us, almost like companions. I don't think there are many opportunities to see wild dolphins up close like this. You'll create wonderful memories!

6月21日の”フェアウインド・クルーズ - ハワイ島ケアラケクア湾シュノーケリング”ツアーに参加してきました。ハワイ島の南の方は曇りが多いようで、今回もやや曇りぎみでした。ところが、海の中を一目覗くと全くの別世界!トロピカルでカラフルな可愛い魚たちが、楽しげに泳いでます。明るい水色の中に、黄色やオレンジ、赤やブルーの色のコンビネーションがとてもキレイでした。そして、グレーの魚の大群の大移動!夢のようでした。帰りの船でのこと、船のスピードが出てきたところに、イルカの群れがぴったり横に張り付いて仲間のように楽しげに泳いでました。こんなに近くで野生のイルカを見れる機会はそうないと思います。良い思い出が作れますよ。

I participated in an afternoon snack cruise on June 28. At first, I was worried about my companion getting seasick, but that concern was completely unnecessary. I had been on several other cruises before, but this one felt like it had the least amount of rocking. The ocean was beautiful as well. It was my first time seeing a coral reef up close like that. If you're going to Hawaii, that ocean is a must-see.

Before snorkeling, the captain gave a fairly long explanation and safety briefing, but it felt responsible and trustworthy. Even so, we had a full two hours to snorkel. The staff was very well-mannered and kind, which made for a very pleasant experience.

On the way back, I dozed off while enjoying the view of the Big Island from the boat, feeling the pleasant fatigue from snorkeling and the sea breeze. I didn't get to see any dolphins, but next time, I plan to wake up early and join a morning cruise, which has a higher chance of encountering dolphins.

6月28日にアフタヌーンスナッククルーズに参加しました。まずは同行者の船酔いが心配だったのですがそんな心配は全くいりませんでした。
他のクルーズには何回か参加した事があったのですがいままでで一番揺れが少なかったと感じました。
海もきれいでしたよ。あんなにまじかにさんご礁を見たのははじめてでした。せっかくハワイに行ったならあの海は必見です。シュノーケリングの前に船長の説明と注意事項が結構長くありましたがそれも責任ある仕事って感じがして信頼できました。それでもたっぷり2時間はシュノーケルできましたよ。スッタフもとても行儀良く親切なのでとても気持ち良く楽しむことができました。
帰りは船の上からハワイ島の景色を見ながらシュノーケリングの心地よい疲れと海風でうたた寝してしまいました。
イルカは見ることはできませんでしたが次回は早起きしてイルカの遭遇率の高いモーニングクルーズに参加しようと思います。
