ハワイ島 オーシャンラフティング&シュノーケルリングツアー <英語ガイド/食事付き>

It was a very beautiful sea! とっても綺麗な海でしたっ!

Reviewed by: Azmy

The captain and staff speak English, but they provide a paper with important notes and destination explanations in Japanese at the beginning, so there's no need to worry. They know a lot about Japan and speak in friendly, easy-to-understand English.

We traveled to the snorkeling point by rubber boat, and we immediately encountered swimming sea turtles in the harbor. Once we hit the open sea, we sped towards our destination. The sudden increase in speed made me think I might be thrown into the water at first (laughs), but I quickly got used to it and enjoyed the beautiful blue sea and the coastline of the Big Island while cheering on the bouncing boat.

Kealakekua Bay, where Captain Cook's monument is located, is a natural spot facing steep cliffs. The waves were calm, making it safe for me, even as a first-time snorkeler. The water was crystal clear and bright with sunlight, and the beautiful coral reefs and colorful fish made me lose track of time. Although it was far away, I was also able to see a pod of dolphins.

I had a great time, but when I got back and looked in the mirror, I noticed my back and the back of my thighs were sunburned and my butt had clear tan lines from my swimsuit. Please make sure to apply sunscreen thoroughly before you go!

キャプテンもスタッフも英語ですが、最初に注意事項や行き先の説明を日本語で書いた紙をくれるので、心配ありません。日本のことも良く知っていて、やさしい英語で気さくに話しかけてくれますよ♪
シュノーケルポイントへはゴムボートで行くのですが、港内でさっそく泳ぐ海亀に遭遇。海に出た後は目的地まで猛スピードで行きます。いきなりスピードアップしたので、最初は海に放り出されるかと思いました(笑)でもすぐに慣れて、飛び跳ねるボートに歓声をあげながら、真っ青な海やハワイ島の海岸線の景色を楽しむことができました。
クック船長の記念碑のあるケアラケクア湾は断崖絶壁に面した自然いっぱいの場所です。波も穏やかでシュノーケリングが初めての私でも安心でした。海は奥深くまで透き通って日の光で明るく、綺麗な珊瑚礁と色とりどりの魚たちには、時間が過ぎるのを忘れてしまうくらいでした。遠くでしたが、イルカの群れも見ることができました。
とても楽しかったですが、帰って鏡を見たら、背中、腿の裏が日焼けで赤くなってました。お尻も水着の跡がくっきり。日焼け止めは念入りに塗って行って下さいね。

I participated with my 4-year-old and 1-year-old! We got to see sea turtles, and although the water was a bit deep, we were able to go in and even made a DVD (^-^). This became the most fun memory of our trip to Hawaii!

Even though my kids couldn't go snorkeling, they were satisfied watching the pufferfish and stingrays that gathered around the boat! The BBQ was delicious, and my daughter, who usually dislikes meat, was devouring it!

My shy and timid daughter seems to have the best memories from this experience (^^). Joe?! He was really funny and high-energy♪ I saw him later in Waikiki and tried to call out to him, but he didn't notice me... (T▽T). He was running towards someone else (laughs). I absolutely want to participate again!

It was a very fulfilling experience! The staff were incredibly kind, cheerful, and attentive. The BBQ was delicious, and seeing the sea turtles made it the best day ever! I was also glad to finally try Leonard's malasadas. My husband, who joined me, had a great time and is already excited to participate in this tour again when we go to Hawaii next time! The only downside was that we didn't see many fish while snorkeling, but they taught us how to snorkel carefully, so I felt safe diving in! Thank you for everything!

I had a valuable experience. 貴重な経験をできました

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I was half excited and half anxious about whether I could really go snorkeling, but the staff were so nice that I felt at ease. Moreover, they were very kind to the children, and it seems they had a great time. It was a valuable experience.

As for the barbecue, my expectations were a bit too high, so it was somewhat disappointing, but I was glad to have something warm to eat. However, it was cramped, making it difficult to go for seconds or leave. It can't be helped...

Thank you very much.

My child sends their regards to Norio.

楽しみ半分、私にも本当にシュノーケリングできるのか不安半分でしたが、なんといってもスタッフがいい人で安心してできました。しかも、子供に対しても非常にやさしくて大変楽しめたようです。貴重な経験でした。

バーベキューは、あまりに期待が大きすぎていまいちでしたが、暖かいものが食べれてよかったです。ただ、狭くておかわりにいったり、帰ったりが大変でした。仕方ありませんが・・・

My mother was very satisfied. 母がとても満足していました

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I really wanted my mother to experience snorkeling, but she can't swim, so I found a tour with a guide.

Fortunately, the tour was just the two of us, and Alan stayed with my mother the whole time. She struggled a bit with her breathing, but thanks to Alan's guidance, she was able to see many beautiful fish and was very impressed. Unfortunately, we didn't see any sea turtles, but my mother seemed so moved that she is already thinking about practicing a bit more so she can swim better by the next time! Thank you very much.

母にどうしてもシュノーケルを体験してもらいたくて、でも母は泳げない、そんなときにガイドさんがいるツアーを見つけました。

ラッキーだったことに、ツアーは私たち親子2人だけで、アランさんには母にずっと付き添ってもらいました。
呼吸が上手くできなくて少し苦労したようですが、アランさんの誘導で、きれいなお魚をたくさん見ることができたと大感激でした。
残念ながらウミガメは見られませんでしたが、次までにはもう少し泳げるように練習する!と母は次を考えるくらい感動したようです。

Small Group Snorkel Tour with Personal Guide at Hanauma Bay [Open Soon]

First Time Snorkeling

Reviewed by: Wendy D

AMAZING!!!! I have never snorkeled before and this was completely amazing. Our guide showed us great tips on using the mask and how to breathe. I was a little scared but once I got in I did so great as did my family. The only bummer I shall say is there was another couple with us and when we went past the reef to explore where there were not others he panicked which made the whole group go back in. I wish there were two guides, one to take the rest and one to take the others back. I was disappointed we didn't go out but it was still an amazing experience that I will never forget. I gave 5 stars because even though I didn't get to experience the snorkeling further out it was still amazing to see the fish and reef.

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>

The sea and the fish were beautiful! 海と魚がきれいでした!

Reviewed by: marron

After gathering and listening to the instructions, we boarded the boat and headed out to sea. We encountered a sea turtle as we left the harbor. Once we departed, the boat accelerated quickly, cutting through the wind. I was surprised by the speed! Once I got used to the rhythm of the waves, it was a lot of fun. (However, if you are prone to motion sickness, it might be a good idea to have some medication on hand.)

On the way to the snorkeling point, we enjoyed the coastal scenery, including beaches. The snorkeling point is right next to Captain Cook's monument. Even from a distance, the coral was beautifully visible, and when I went snorkeling, I was amazed to see so many fish. The colorful fish eating the coral were adorable. I also spotted a pod of dolphins in the distance.

The weather was cloudy and a bit chilly, but I had a great time. On the way back, we stopped by the blowhole and caves, and the captain provided explanations for each. It was a bit challenging to catch everything since the explanations were in English, but it was nice to realize that all the other participants were foreigners, making it feel like we were truly enjoying marine sports abroad.

The meeting point was easy to find thanks to clear signage, so I arrived without getting lost. I highly recommend this experience!

集合して、注意事項を聞いた後、ボートに乗って海へ。
港を出るときに海亀に出会いました。港を出るとどんどん加速して風を切って走っていきました。そのスピードにびっくり!波のリズムに慣れるととても楽しかったです。(ただ、乗り物酔いする方は酔い止めがあった方が安心かもしれません。。)
ボートでシュノーケリングポイントへ行く途中、ビーチなどなど海岸沿いの景色も楽しめました。
シュノーケリングポイントはクック船長の記念碑のすぐそば。遠くからでもサンゴがきれいに見えて、シュノーケリングしてみるとたくさんの魚がいて感動でした。
色とりどりの魚たちが珊瑚を食べてる姿がかわいかったです。イルカの群れも海の向こうに見えました。
天気が曇っていて少し寒かったのですが、とても満喫できました。
帰りがけに潮吹き岩や洞窟によって、船長さんがそれぞれの説明をしてくれました。説明が英語だったので聞き取るのが大変でしたが、参加者が私たち以外はみんな外国の方で、外国でマリンスポーツをしていることをとても実感。よかったです。
集合場所も目印の看板が分かりやすくて迷わず到着することができましたし、おすすめです!

Departing from Waikiki Beach is unusual. ワイキキビーチ出発は珍しい

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

The charm of this tour departing from Outrigger Reef on the Beach is that it starts from Waikiki Beach. The morning meeting time is early, but I think it's still manageable.

On the day of the tour, it was windy and the waves were high, but we were able to see various fish and even sea turtles while snorkeling. Unfortunately, we didn't encounter any dolphins. Still, it was a relaxing and enjoyable tour.

Also, when we participated, there were zero Japanese people. It's a rare tour where you can truly feel like you're on an overseas trip. The explanations were in English and included some humor, which I couldn't fully understand, but the captain was kind enough to explain slowly using just a few words for us.

Since the tour ends in the morning, you can participate in other tours, go shopping, or relax on the beach in the afternoon, making it a meaningful way to spend the day.

It was a recommended tour for going with friends and having a great time together.

アウトリガー・リーフ・オン・ザ・ビーチより出るこのツアーの魅力はワイキキビーチから出発ということです。
朝の集合時間は早いですが、それでも楽だと思います。

当日は風が強くて波も高かったですが、シュノーケリングでは色んな魚、ウミガメにも会えました。
残念なのは、イルカに遭遇できなかったこと。
それでものんびり楽しめるツアーです。

また、私たちが参加した時は日本人ゼロ。
「海外旅行に来た」と味わえる珍しいツアーです。
説明なども英語で笑いを取っていたようですが、理解できなかったりもしましたが、キャプテンは私たちには単語のみでゆっくり説明してくれる親切な方でした。

午前中に終わるツアーなので、午後からは他のツアーに参加したり、ショッピングに行ったり、ビーチでのんびりしたりもできるので、1日を有意義に使えると思います。

友達みんなでワイワイ行くのにオススメのツアーでした。

The captain is friendly. フレンドリーな船長です。

Reviewed by: かわせみ

I received a notification from Alan the day before that there were too few participants for the scheduled date, but I was able to change the date and participate successfully.

I joined the afternoon tour, but it was cloudy that day, and the snorkeling time at Kealakekua Bay, which I was looking forward to, felt a bit dark underwater. If you can wake up early, I think the morning tour would have better weather conditions. Although I stayed in Kona, it often became cloudy in the afternoon even if it was sunny in the morning.

I was the only Japanese person on the tour, but they provided a Japanese-language pamphlet during boarding, so I could grasp the general idea, and the captain was friendly and chatted with us, so there were no problems at all.

The rafting was a bit nerve-wracking at first as I felt like I might be thrown off, but once I got used to it, it was fine. We were shown lava caves and blowholes in a rubber boat. On the way back, we had a brief encounter with dolphins, which was enjoyable.

申し込んだ日時の参加者が少なく実施出来ないとの連絡が、Alan1より前日に宿泊ホテルにありましたが、日時の変更をして頂き無事参加しました。
午後のツアーに参加しましたが、当日は曇りで楽しみにしていたケアラケクア湾でのシュノーケルの時間は少し海中が暗い感じでした。早起きできれば、午前のツアーの方が天気の状況は良いと思います。コナに滞在しましたが、午前中は晴れていても午後曇ってくることが多かったです。
日本人は私一人でしたが、乗船時に日本語の解説パンフをくれるので大体の感じは掴めますし、船長も気さくにお話ししてくれますので、全く問題ありません。
ラフティングは出だしは振り落とされそうで緊張しましたが、慣れれば問題ありません。ゴムボートで溶岩の入り江の洞窟や潮吹き岩を見せてもらいました。
帰りに短い時間でしたがイルカとも遭遇し楽しめました。

サンドバー キャプテンブルース 天国の海®︎シュノーケリングクルーズ SUPや浮き輪などレンタルアイテムも!<午前・午後/日本語クルー>

It was a beautiful place with a unique location. ロケーションが珍しい、きれいな所でした

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I've been to Hawaii many times, but this was my first visit to this particular place. As I had heard, it was truly wonderful.

(Good points)
1. The unique location is truly remarkable. Surrounded by beautiful seas and the mountains of Hawaii, with white sand, it was really a mysterious and lovely place.

2. I appreciated how the female staff genuinely cared about making everyone enjoy their time. After all, it's the experiences we create that become memories, so in that sense, it was very good.

3. The lunch in the afternoon was not just a typical tour add-on; it was well-prepared and delicious.

4. Three rays approached the boat asking for food. It was my first time seeing rays up close, and I was thrilled.

(Not-so-good points)
1. The public restroom at the port was a bit... even men would want to hold it in. Since there are no other options, the likelihood of needing to use it is high, so I wonder if something can be done about that.

2. The weather on the day I visited wasn't great, and the sky was quite cloudy. As a result, the sea was also cloudy (reflecting the sky), which diminished the excitement. During snorkeling, it was disappointing that visibility wasn't very good.

3. Similarly, since the weather was not ideal, the women were particularly shivering when they got out of the water. It would be best to prepare bath towels or windbreakers as much as possible.

4. I don't think anyone would compare it to Australia's Great Barrier Reef, but compared to that, there weren't as many fish (during my visit). So, for those who know about it, don't have such expectations...

5. Even though it's called white sand, there are slightly pebbly areas, so it's not completely sandy.

Those who only skim through the not-so-good points might lose their motivation to go, but these are just minor issues. I think it was worth going. Just to be clear.

ハワイは何度も来ていますが今回初めて行きました。聞いていたとおりとても素晴らしいところでした。

(良かったところ)
1.何といっても珍しいそのロケーション。綺麗な海、ハワイの山々に囲まれ、白い砂、本当に不思議な、素敵な所でした。

2.スタッフの女性が本当にみんなを楽しませようと気遣いがうれしかったし、良かったです。所詮人間って場所は当然として、その時の体験で想い出を作っていくと思うのでそういう意味でもとても良かったです。

3.午後のランチは、良くありがちなツァーのおまけレベルではなくきちんとしていて美味しかったですよ。

4.エイがボートに近寄ってエサをねだっていました(3匹)。エイを近くで見たのは初めてだったので感激しました。

(良くなかったところ)
1.港の公衆トイレがちょっと・・・で、男でさえ我慢したくなる程でした。他にないため利用する機会確率が高いのでこれはどうにかならないものかと。

2.行った日の天気があまり良くなくて空は曇りがちでした。そのため海も(空を映すので)曇っていて、感激が半減という感じでした。スノーケリングの時もあまり深いところまで見えにくく残念でした。天候はどうにもならないですが、晴れた時との違いがとても大きいと感じました。

3.同じく、天気がいまいちだったので水から上がった時、特に女性陣が震えていました。できるだけバスタオルか風よけ上着等を準備しておいた方が良いです。

4.オーストラリアのグレートバリアリーフと比べる方はいないかと思いますが、それと比べたら魚はそんなに多くいませんでした(私の時)。なので、それを知っている人はそんな期待はしないように・・・。

5.白い砂といっても微妙に小石はあるので完全な砂ではないですよ~。

良くなかったところだけつまみ読みした方は行く気を失せてしまうかもしれませんが、これは”あえて言うなら・・・”というレベルです。私は行って良かったと思っています。念のため。

The sandbar and the ocean were truly beautiful. I was moved to see the colors of the ocean change for the first time. I also got to see many honu (turtles), and they were adorable. The water level at the sandbar was up to my waist (and the water temperature was cold), so walking was a bit challenging, but it's not every day you get to walk in such a beautiful ocean, so I enjoyed it. The snorkeling was great too; I saw a lot of fish. The BBQ lunch had plenty of delicious meat cooked right on the spot. It was just as good as Yummy Korean BBQ. The staff were all wonderful people. I will definitely participate again next time!

Small Group Snorkel Tour with Personal Guide at Hanauma Bay [Open Soon]

Guided tour in April 2010

Reviewed by: Sherry

Took our son for a graduation gift along with his girlfriend and none of us had never snorkled before so thought the guided tour would be the best option. Allyn (sorry if it's spelled wrong) was our guide and he was awesome. He was very patient and taught us exactly what we needed to do. He was great for helping you not getting overwhelmed since as we found out, snorkeling takes a bit of time to learn. However, once you relax you can enjoy the experience. Not so sure we could have done it on our own. The only suggestion I can make is that the bottled water needs to be cold. It was very warm. Other then that, it was an awesome experience. Well worth the money spent. It's amazing the marine life you can see. We did see a sea turtle and a small eel. Absolutely beautiful. Hope to get a chance to do it again. Don't have my pics back since we used underwater cameras, hopefully I can add them later!

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'm deeply moved! 感激!

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

Meeting wild dolphins is definitely a different experience compared to seeing them in an aquarium. They were so fast and passed by in the blink of an eye, but there were so many of them that it felt like they were everywhere. I was also able to see dolphins jumping right next to the surface.

At the point where we could see turtles, they came so close that I felt like I could touch them, which was exciting.

However, as everyone mentioned, it was really cold on the boat (in April), so renting a wetsuit might be essential. I wore a rash guard, but it was still chilly even in a wetsuit.

I was very satisfied with the tour, but later I found out that Dolphin University, which is a more advanced version of Dolphin Junior High, was cheaper (there was a limited-time discount), and I felt a bit disappointed about that. I wonder what the reasoning is behind such a strange price reversal...

Overall, I was very satisfied with the content of the tour. Thank you very much to all the staff.

野生のイルカに会うのは、やっぱり水族館で見るのとは感激が違いますね。
すごく早くてあっという間に通り過ぎてしまったけれど、すごくたくさんの群れだったので、あっちにもこっちにもって感じで。
水面ではイルカのジャンプもそばで見れました。

カメが見れるポイントでは、さわってしまいそうになるくらい間近に現れて、ワクワクしたし。

ただ(今回4月の)船の上では皆さんが仰っているようにすごく寒いので、ウェットスーツのレンタルは必須かもしれません。
ラッシュガードを着ていきましたが、ウェットスーツでも寒いくらいなので。

すごく大満足のツアーだったのですが、イルカ中学のランクアップ版であるイルカ大学の方が値段が安かった(期間限定の割引ですが)ってことを後で知って、すごく損したような複雑な気分になったので、その点はちょっと・・う~んマイナスです。
どういった理由でそのような不思議な逆転値段設定なのか・・

ツアーの内容自体は大満足でした。
スタッフの皆様どうもありがとうございました。

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

At the meeting point. 待ち合わせで

Reviewed by: ノブ&ミッチ~

I arranged to meet behind the hotel, but the other person was late, which left me quite confused. I had been waiting there 10 minutes before the meeting time, but in the end, I waited for 30 minutes due to a 20-minute delay.

Since I was overseas and couldn't speak English, I asked the hotel front desk to make a call for me (they left a voicemail), which made me feel very anxious. Because of this, I think I lost about 30 minutes of swimming time.

I feel very dissatisfied due to the anxiety of wondering if the person would show up and the precious time I lost.

The weather at the sea was chilly in the morning. By the way, I was able to see turtles at a deep location. That really depends on luck.

ホテル裏で待ち合わせしたのですが、むこうが送れてきたので、非常に戸惑いました。
こちらは、待ち合わせ時間の10分前にまっていたのですが、20分遅れの結果的に30分待ちになりました。
海外ということもあり、英語が話せないため、電話もホテルのフロントに頼んで電話してもらい、(留守電になり録音してもらった)非常に不安感いっぱいでした。
このため、泳ぐ時間も30分減ったと思います。

来ないのではという不安感と、貴重な時間を失ったことに、とても不満に思います。

海の天候はAMでしたので肌寒かったです。
ちなみに、亀は深い位置で見えました。こればかりは運ですね。

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

Snorkel tour

Reviewed by: Illusiv1

This was an awesome experience even though the weather did not cooperate and we could not go to Niihau. Due to the tradewinds and some seriously rough seas we could not make the trip to Niihau. We found the crew very pleasant and accommodating. The views were incredible and we were able to take in an amazing whale watching session. As noted by the several this is more of a summer time tour because the weather and seas are more predictable. I believe we missed out on a bunch by not going to Niihau but the whale experience made up for it. The large boat size provides plenty of room so it's not real crowded. We saw other boats on similar trips and they appeared to be more crowded. We would HIGHLY recommend this trip.

It's wonderful to hear that, although there were alterations to the original tour route, you thoroughly enjoyed your time on the water and the overall experience! Thank you so much for joining us and for sharing your great review! Mahalo and Aloha

モロキニ島シュノーケリングクルーズ <朝・昼食付/現地集合>

I was surprised by the clarity of the ocean! 海の透明度にビックリ!

Reviewed by: keikoala

I participated with my 12-year-old son on March 24, 2010. Although we had snorkeling experience in Oahu, it was our first time in Maui. The boat for this tour was large and impressive, unlike the smaller boats we had in Oahu, and my son didn't get seasick.

There were only two Japanese families participating, including us, so there was just one Japanese staff member. However, they were very attentive and provided us with timely information, allowing us to act smoothly and enjoy the activities.

The water clarity at Molokini exceeded our expectations. You could almost see the seabed from the surface! While there weren't an overwhelming number of fish, we still had a good time. We also moved to a spot where turtles were supposed to be, but unfortunately, we couldn't see any.

From a Japanese perspective, it gets quite cold when you come out of the water, so I think it's a good idea to bring something to wear on top. The meeting place, Ma'alaea Harbor, can also be windy and chilly in the morning.

3/24,2010に12歳の息子と二人で参加しました。オアフ島でのシュノーケリング経験はあったものの、マウイは初めてでした。オアフでは船というよりボートでしたが、このツアーの船は大きく立派で、息子も船酔いをせずに済みました。

今回参加の日本人は私たち親子と、もう一組の親子連れだけでしたので日本人のスタッフは一人だけでしたが、細やかに気を使って下さり、早め早めの情報を頂けたのでスムーズに行動が出来、アクティビティを楽しむことができました。

モロキニの水の透明度は聞きしに勝るものでした。水面から海底が見える!と言ってもいいくらいの透明度です。
魚は、驚くほど沢山はいませんでしたが、楽しめました。
また、亀のいる場所へ移動してシュノーケリングをしましたが、残念ながら私たちは見ることができませんでした。

日本人の体感だと、水からあがるとかなり寒いので、上に着るものは準備していった方がいいと思います。
集合場所のマアエラハーバーも朝は風があって寒いですしね。
