All Reviews for Snorkeling Cruises & Tours

Yukiko, our guide, was very cheerful and friendly, and she referred to us as a flashy group of four. Even the two who had never snorkeled before were very happy to swim around the coral reef following the instructor. Unfortunately, it rained when we weren't snorkeling at the angel's sea, but it was a very enjoyable tour, especially seeing sea turtles. When we mentioned that we would participate in the Honolulu Festival parade the next day, Yukiko came to see us. Thank you to Yukiko and all the staff. It became a very memorable experience in Hawaii.

ガイドのYUKIKOさんが、とっても明るく気さくな人で、私達のことを派手な4人組、と言ってました。シュノーケルをしたことない2人も、インストラクターのあとを付いて珊瑚礁の周りを一緒に泳げてとっても喜んでました。あいにく、天使の海とシュノーケルしてない時は、雨でしたが、海亀見たりと、とっても楽しいツアーでした。私達が、次の日ホノルルフェスティバルのパレードに参加すると言っていたら、YUKIKOさんが来て下さいました。YUKIKOさんはじめ、スタッフの皆さん、ありがとうございました。とっても楽しいハワイの思い出になりました。

Snorkeling was awesome! We swam with turtles and fish and even saw whales as a bonus. Captain Steve and Travis were great, very entertaining! Highly recommend!

We went on the 5 hour Napali coast snorkel adventure. Within the first 30 minutes we saw 10 whales and 50 dolphins! It was amazing. Giant turtles as well. We had about 30 minutes of snorkel time and a nice little brunch. While snorkeling there was an opportunity to get pretty close to a giant sea turtle and views of about 20 ft deep clear ocean to beautiful corral reef and tropical colorful fish. That's where the fun stopped for me. The further up the napali coast the more brutal the waters became. The waves were bigger than the boat! I have to admit this was nothing like what I expected . I was scared despite knowing that the staff and captain were experienced and careful, the waves and wind were just nothing like I have ever experienced. I've been on the ocean to Catalina island and didn't get sea sick, but this trip was another story. I puked and cried and puked some more! Two hours or more or puking and I missed the best part of the whale show for us. It was hard to enjoy the amazing views of the napali coastline because I was so sick but it truly was amazing!!! Don't do this tour in the winter and I think it would be breathtaking. The crew was amazing an took great care of all of us who got sea sick. They gave us water and new tissues. One of the guides even gave me his rain jacket to wear as long as I didn't puke on it! No gaurantees there, but the crew were lifesavers! Amazing amazing crew! One of the stores near by said that holo holo was the best and I believe them. They really took care of me and made me feel safe and well taken care of despite the circumstances. They even had ginger candy and saltines on board to help out. Crew also offered handy tips for other amazing views on the island

It was the rainy season, so the weather wasn't very good, but we all walked on the sandbar, had our photos taken by the guide, enjoyed snorkeling in the sea, and had a BBQ lunch. It was a lot of fun and very enjoyable.

雨季なので、お天気はあまり良くはなかったのですが、みんなでサンドバーを歩いたり、ガイドさんに写真を撮っていただいたり、海の中でシュノーケリングやBBQランチなどをいただいて、とても楽しくて良かったです。

I participated on my honeymoon. I never expected to swim with so many dolphins!

In addition to the dolphins, there was also a bonus whale watching! The hospitality of Captain and swim guide Daisuke was wonderful, and I had an amazing time. Thank you!

ハネムーンで参加しました。
まさかあんなにたくさんのイルカと泳げるとは思いませんでした！

さらにイルカだけではなく、ホエールウォッチグのおまけつき！
キャプテンとスイムガイドのダイスケさんのホスピタリティも素晴らしく、とても素晴らしい時間を過ごせました。
ありがとうございました！

Originally, I wanted to join a different tour, but since it was fully booked, I signed up for this one. In the end, I had a very enjoyable and wonderful day, and I am truly satisfied.

First, let me mention a few points of dissatisfaction. The driver who picked us up in the bus didn’t respond when we greeted him as we boarded. However, he was overly enthusiastic during his self-introduction. The guide, who I’m not sure could really be called a guide, seemed to be a high-ranking person in the company and gave off a rather unrestrained impression.

On-site, there was a woman named Yukiko who managed everything. In fact, without her, the tour wouldn’t have run smoothly. The young male staff members were all cheerful and kind. I believe they must have learned various aspects of Japanese hospitality from Yukiko.

The tour content was genuine; the sandbar was amazing, we saw sea turtles, and we were able to go snorkeling.

Overall, the tour was thanks to Yukiko and the young staff. I am grateful to them and would love to go again. If anyone is considering other tours, I highly recommend this one.

本来は別のツアーを希望していたのですがいっぱいだったためこちらを申し込みましたが、結果的には非常に楽しく素晴らしい１日を過ごすことができて本当に満足です。
まずは不満点から。ピックアップバスでお迎えにきてくれた運転手さんは乗り込むときの挨拶に返事もしてくれません。ただし、自己紹介のときだけはやたらとハイテンションでしたが。ガイド（と言えるのか？）のおじ様は会社のえらい人なのでしょうか？やりたい放題な印象でした。
現地ではユキコさんという女性がおり、すべてをこの方が取り仕切っています。実際、この方がいなければツアーは回らないでしょう。スタッフの若い男の子たちはみんな明るくて親切です。きっとユキコさんに日本人向けのおもてなしをいろいろ教わっているんだと思います。
ツアー内容にも偽りはなく、サンドバーは素晴らしいし、ホヌも見れたし、シュノーケリングもできました。
とにかくユキコさんあってのツアーです。彼女と、若いスタッフたちに感謝です。また行きたいと思います。もし、他のツアーと迷っている方がいたら、オススメします。

Fortunately, the weather was nice, and the scenery was incredibly beautiful. On the way to the sandbar, we were also able to see sea turtles swimming.

Even though the surrounding water was deep, the sandbar had a shallow depth up to our ankles, which felt quite strange. The snorkeling was great as the water was clear, and we were able to see not only fish but also sea turtles.

Although both of us could only speak a little English, the guide and crew casually spoke to us in Japanese, allowing us to have a fun time.

I definitely want to participate again when I come to Hawaii.

運よく天気が良かったので、景色がすごい綺麗でした。
サンドバーに行く途中で、海カメが泳いでいるのを見ることもできました。

周りは水深が深いのに、サンドバーは足首あたりまでの水深で不思議な感じでした。
シュノーケリングも海が澄んでいて、魚はもちろん、海カメも見れて良かったです。

2人とも英語を少ししか話せなかったんですが、ガイド、クルーとも気軽に日本語で話しかけてくれて、楽しい時間を過ごせました。

また、ハワイに来た時にも是非参加してみたいです。

I visited Angel's Beach for the first time.

It may be obvious, but the ocean was incredibly beautiful, and it felt like I could be drawn into it. I also had the chance to see many sea turtles. Honestly, I was so happy to encounter so many sea turtles.

When we got onto the sandbar and took photos, the staff made sure that only we were in the pictures, creating wonderful memories. Every time I look at the photos, I remember the fun we had.

Lastly, the staff members were wonderful. I believe that thanks to them, this tour became even more enjoyable. Thank you for the delightful memories!

始めて天使の海にいきました

当然かもしれませんが、海がとてもきれいで、吸い込まれそうでした
また、ウミガメにもたくさん会うことができました
正直あんなに、たくさんのウミガメに出会えて幸せでした

サンドバーに上がり、写真を撮ってもらった時も、ちゃんと、私達だけが映るように撮ってくださり、いい思い出になりました
写真を見る度に楽しさが思い出されます

最後に、スタッフの皆さんがすてきでした
皆さんのおかげで、このツアーがより、楽しいものになったのだと思いました
楽しい思い出ありがとうございました

The weather was nice, and the sandbar was very beautiful! The crew members were very friendly and it was a lot of fun! Even beginners can enjoy it, and it became a wonderful memory!

天気も良く、サンドバーもとても綺麗でした！
クルーの方々がとても気さくで楽しかったです！
初心者でも全然楽しめるし、とてもいい思い出になりました！

I chose the local meeting plan since I had a rental car. I was worried about whether I could find the place in an unfamiliar area, but it was an easy-to-understand meeting spot.

Even in Hawaii, February is winter. Although the water temperature was said to be 25 degrees, the instructor mentioned, "It's cold enough to cry," so I honestly rented a wetsuit (for a fee) and prescription goggles (for free).

On the boat, we moved to a spot where we could see manta rays while watching the sunset. It was peak whale season, and I heard that many whales were spotted the day before. Unfortunately, during our time, only the captain saw one briefly.

I thought we would be snorkeling, but in reality, participants didn't swim; we all just held onto a pole and floated together. It might sound boring, but it was surprisingly comfortable as we could move long distances in the sea without using much energy. Swimming in the night sea was also a first experience for me, but since we were just floating together, there was no fear.

Mantas were attracted to the light that drew in plankton, but many fish also came close, making it quite a sight, comparable to snorkeling.

The detailed explanation about the mantas on the boat helped me feel a connection to each individual manta.

The light that attracted the plankton was enchanting and wonderful.

When you get out of the water, it’s “cold enough to cry,” so I recommend preparing warm clothes for participation.

I truly felt that it was a tour worth joining.

レンタカーがあったので、現地集合プランにしました。不慣れな土地で着けるか不安でしたが、分かりやすい集合場所でした。

ハワイと言えども２月は冬。水温が２５度ということでしたが、インストラクター曰く「泣イチャウ　ホド　寒イ」とのとこで、素直にウエットスーツ（有料）と度つきのゴーグル（無料）を借りました。

船の上では、サンセットを見ながらマンタがいる場所まで移動します。
クジラのピークシーズンだったので、前日ははかなりの数のクジラが見れたそうです。残念ながら、私達の時はキャプテン一人のみが一瞬目撃しただけでした。

スノーケリングをするものだと思いこんでいたのですが、実際は参加者自ら水泳をするのではなく、みんなで、ただ棒をつかんで浮遊しているだけです。つまらなそうですが、体力を使わずに、海を長距離移動できるので、意外と快適です。夜の海で泳ぐのも初体験でしたが、みんなと浮いているだけなので、怖さもありませんでした。

ライトで寄ってくるプランクトンを目当てにマンタが寄ってくるのですが、マンタ以外にもたくさんの魚が寄ってくるのでスノーケル並みの見ごたえがありました。

マンタの説明を船上で詳しくしていただいたので、それぞれの個体に親近感を持てます。

プランクトンを寄せる光が、幻想的でステキでした。

水からあがると、“泣イチャウ　ホド　寒イ”ので、暖かい服を用意して参加することをオススメします。

本当に参加して良かったと思えるツアーでした。

I participated in late January. It was cold and windy from the morning, and the sea was rough. According to the staff, the tours had been canceled the day before and the day before that due to bad weather, and even when they went ahead, they couldn't encounter any dolphins. However, on the day we participated, we were fortunate enough to meet many groups of dolphins. There were even baby dolphins swimming, which was very moving. After finishing swimming and getting back on the boat, it was incredibly cold, but the staff cheered us up with their cheerful attitude, making it a really great experience.

1月下旬に参加しました。朝から強風で肌寒く、海が荒れていました。スタッフによると前日や前々日も悪天候のためツアー自体がキャンセルになったり、決行してもイルカに遭遇できなかったようですが、私たちが参加した日は幸いなことにたくさんのイルカの群れに出会うことができました。赤ちゃんイルカも泳いでいて、とても感動的でした。泳ぎ終わって船上に上がってきてからが寒くて仕方なかったですが、スタッフの皆さんが陽気に盛り上げてくれてすごくいい体験ができました。

It was an absolutely wonderful place! Not only is it a lovely location, but it also has fantastic staff. Thank you for the wonderful memories!

最高に素敵な場所でした！
素敵な場所っていうだけではなくて、素敵なスタッフがいるというところも◎素敵な思い出をありがとう！

We had a great time with Captain(found the nametag)Liam, Captain Joe,and Cassie. Loved the colorful commentary, super sights and snorkeling. Even had a wonderful whale sighting. Hope you get driving lessons before you take the next unsuspecting tourists out. Thanks for a great time!

On February 13th, my spouse and I participated in a manta night snorkeling tour. This was one of the main reasons we chose the Big Island, so while we were very excited, we were also a bit nervous about whether we would actually encounter these natural creatures.

We gathered at Honokohau Harbor for check-in at 5:15 PM, but we started to get anxious when our guide was late. However, upon reviewing the materials, we noticed that the start time was actually 5:45 PM, and sure enough, the guide arrived right on time.

After that, the guide explained the flow of the evening and checked our sizes for wetsuits (which were available for rent at $10) and fins, and we boarded the boat! There were four of us Japanese participants, along with four foreign guests and the staff. It was reassuring that our guide was Japanese!

The manta snorkeling takes place at night, so we departed the harbor in the evening. It was around sunset, and although it was a bit cloudy that day, I believe we would have seen a beautiful Kona sunset if it had been clear!

It takes about 20 minutes to reach the manta point, but within five minutes of being out at sea, the captain shouted, "There’s a whale at 12 o'clock!" We were lucky enough to see the whale twice!

When we arrived at the point, several other tour boats were already gathered. Since we had some time before the mantas arrived, the guide taught us various things about manta biology, how to distinguish between males and females, and why mantas gather in Kona.

As other tours started to arrive, our tour was allowed to wait on the boat as long as possible to conserve energy. Finally, we entered the water. Almost immediately, I thought I saw a shadow of a manta in the deep, and then, right at our feet, a manta came into clear view!

Soon, more and more mantas appeared, making it feel like we were in an aquarium! It hadn’t even been five minutes since we entered the water, and all participants were thrilled to see the mantas! Watching them do flips while feeding on plankton was breathtaking! They came so close that it felt like we could almost touch them; it was a dreamlike experience. We enjoyed snorkeling with the mantas for about 40 to 45 minutes.

After spending a long time in the water, my hands started to feel numb, and once back on the boat, the wind made me shiver. I quickly took off my wetsuit and changed into dry clothes. I brought a towel, but I think it’s a good idea to bring even more clothes and towels than you think you’ll need (perhaps because it was winter)!

We were served warm drinks to help us warm up on the way back.

Even now that I’m back home, I think of that time as dreamlike. It was an experience I wanted to have at least once in my life, and it became a wonderful memory! For anyone traveling to Hawaii, I highly recommend extending your trip to the Big Island and definitely joining this tour! I will absolutely recommend it to my friends! Thank you to all the staff! When I have children and they grow up, I would love to participate again!

２月１３日に、夫婦でマンタのナイトシュノーケリングに参加させてもらいました。
今回ハワイ島を選んだ最大の理由でもあったので、とても楽しみな反面、やはり自然の生き物と言うことで、出会えるかどうかドキドキしながらの参加でした。
当日はホノコウハーバーに現地集合でした。１７時１５分チェックインとありスタンバイしていましたが、中々ガイドさんが来なくて焦りました。でもよくよく資料を見ると、スタート時間が１７時４５分と書いてあり、ちょうどその時間になると、ちゃんとガイドさんが来てくれました。
その後、ガイドさんから今からの流れの説明やウエットスーツ(レンタルで＄１０)やフィンのサイズを確認し、いざ船へ乗り込みました！
今回のボートには、日本人は私達を入れて４人、他に外国の方が４人、そしてスタッフさんでした。ガイドさんは日本人の方でしたので、安心でした！
マンタシュノーケリングは夜に行われる為、夕方から港を出発します。ちょうど夕日が沈む頃で、この日は少し曇っていましたが、晴れていたらとてもきれいなコナサンセットが見れると思います！
マンタのポイントまでは約２０分ほどかかりますが、海に出て５分もしないうちに、船長さんが「１２時の方角に鯨だ!!」と叫び、その後もう一度出て来てくれて、私達は２回も鯨を見る事が出来ました！
ポイントに着くと、他のツアーの船も既に幾つか集まっていました。
マンタが来るまで少し時間があるので、その間にマンタの生態やオス・メスの見分け方、なぜコナにマンタが集まるのかなど、ガイドさんから色々教えてもらいました。
他の、ツアーが入り始めましたが、私達のツアーは少しでも体力消耗を抑える為に、ギリギリまで船の上で待機させてもらえました。
いよいよ海に入りました。入ってすぐ、深い所でマンタの影のようなものが見えたと思った瞬間、私達の足元の方からしっかりと確認できる距離でマンタはやってきてくれました！
すると、続々と１枚２枚と増えて行き、まるで水族館の水槽にいるかのように、あちらこちらにマンタが来てくれました!!海に入って５分も経ってなかったかと思います！参加者全員がマンタに興奮していました！バク転をする様にくるっと回転しながらプランクトンを食べる姿は圧巻でした！何度か触れそうなほど近くまできてくれて、夢のような時間でした。約４０〜４５分、マンタとのシュノーケルを楽しみました。
さすがに長時間海に入っていたので、手がしびれてきて、船に上がってからは風もあり、ブルブルと震えました。すぐにウエットスーツを脱ぎ、乾いた服に着替えました。タオルも持って行きましたが、思っている以上に服やタオルは持って行ってもいいと思います(冬だったからかもしれませんが)！
暖かい飲み物を出してもらい、体を温めながら帰りました。

帰国した今でも、夢のような時間だったと思います。人生に一度は味わいたかったので、最高の思い出になりました!!
ハワイに行く方には、是非ハワイ島に足を伸ばし、是非オスメスしたいツアーです！友人にも絶対勧めます！
スタッフの皆さま、ありがとうございました！子どもができて大きくなったら、是非また参加したいです！

I was moved by how close I could see and swim with the dolphins, which was beyond comparison to regular dolphin watching! I'm so glad I participated; it was a great decision! Seeing wild dolphins spin around and come back was such a joy. They are so cute.

When we saw the dolphins, their group behavior was incredibly impressive and overwhelming.
- Even if you're anxious about swimming or snorkeling, it's okay! We weren't great swimmers, but they lent us floaties and the instructors provided support, so we felt safe. They also taught us about the dolphins' habits, points of interest, and precautions on the bus, making it easy for beginners. The instructors were incredibly quick at spotting the dolphins.

I did get seasick and had to step away for a bit, but I could still see the dolphins from the boat. It became a wonderful memory.

Also, the cheese and donuts we had as snacks along the way were delicious! Thank you for everything. I want to do this again when I go to Hawaii!

イルカウォッチングとは比較にならないほどの間近で、イルカが見れ一緒に泳げたことに感動しました！！！！
参加して良かったです！大正解！！野生のイルカがくるっとまわったり、途中で戻ってきたり、自然のイルカを見れて幸せです。かわいい。
イルカが見れた時、集団で行動しているので迫力満点で圧倒されます。
・泳ぎやシュノーケルに不安があっても大丈夫でした！！
私たちは泳ぎが苦手でしたが、浮輪貸していただいたりインストラクターの方がサポートしていただけたので安心です。またバスの中でイルカについて習性やポイント、注意点を色々教えて頂いたりするので、初心者でも大丈夫でした。
インストラクターの方がイルカを見つけるのが早いこと早いこと。

また船酔いで途中離脱してしまいましたが、船からもイルカが見えました。
いい思い出になりました。

あと途中のチーズとドーナツのおやつがおいしいｗｗ
色々とお世話になりました。
またハワイにいったらいきたいな～！！

This time, it was my first trip to Hawaii with a friend. While looking through the guidebook, I discovered a tour where you can swim with dolphins! Plus, it was on sale at Alan1.net, so I felt lucky.

The day before the tour, I called the dolphin center for a confirmation, and they informed me that due to fewer participants, the start time would be moved from 9 AM to 6 AM. With the 9 AM start, I was able to enjoy my afternoon since it would end around 3 PM, which was great. I was happy to make good use of my time.

In the morning, I got into the pickup car, and the lecture at the center began. Takao's lecture was very enjoyable and interesting. I was a bit nervous when they mentioned that the sea was rough in the morning and that the tour might be canceled, but thankfully, it went ahead as planned.

The seawater was cold that day, so I rented a wetsuit for $100. It was a nice wetsuit without any holes.

While searching for dolphins, I spotted a whale's spout in the distance. When we got a little closer, I was lucky enough to see the tails of a mother and baby whale several times.

Next, we discovered a pod of dolphins and entered the water to swim with them. It was a bit cold. I tried hard to kick my legs to get closer to the dolphins, but I couldn't get very close. Unfortunately, the water was murky due to the rough sea the day before, so the visibility wasn't great. I was disappointed because I had assumed Hawaii would always be beautiful.

Although I couldn't see the dolphins clearly, they appeared mystical like shadows. I was really glad to see them swimming on the surface and diving deep.

After that, we went snorkeling at a different spot. The visibility there was outstanding, and you could see all the way to the bottom, but there were no tropical fish at all. I didn't see any sea turtles either, but meeting the dolphins and whales made it a truly wonderful experience. I want to go back to Hawaii again to see the dolphins.

今回は、友達と2人で初めてのハワイ旅行でした。ガイドブックを見ているとなんとイルカと泳げるツアーを発見！しかもAlan1.netだとsaleで割引になっていてラッキーでした。
ツアー前日イルカ中学に事前確認の電話をすると明日は参加者が少ないので9時からが早朝の6時からになるとお知らせがありました。9時からだと午後3時ぐらいまでがお昼の12時ぐらいまでになったので午後からバッチリ遊べるのでラッキーでした。時間を有効に使えるのでうれしかったです。
朝迎えの車に乗り中学での講義が始まりました。タカオさんの講義はとっても楽しく面白かったです。朝、海が荒れてたみたいで中止になるかもしれないと言われとてもドキドキしましたが無事決行できました。
その日は海水は冷たかったので100ドルでウェットスーツを貸してもらいました。きれいなウエットスーツで穴などは空いてなかったです。
イルカを探してると遠方になんとクジラの潮吹きが見えました。もう少し近づいてもらうと親子のクジラのしっぽを何回も見ることができ、ラッキーでした。
次はイルカの群れを発見し一緒に泳ごうと海の中に入りました。ちょっと冷たかったです。イルカに近づこうと頑張ってバタ足したけどなかなか近づけなかったです。そして残念なことに前日海が荒れていたので濁って透明度が良くなかったです。ハワイはいつでもきれいと思い込んでいたのでがっかりでした。
イルカはしっかり見えなかったけど陰影みたいに見れて神秘的でした。
水面を泳いでる姿や深く潜っていく姿も見れて本当によかったです。
その後はシュノーケルを違うポイントにしに行きました。そこは透明度抜群で下の方まで透き通ってたのですが、熱帯魚は全くいなかったです。海ガメも見れなかったけど、イルカとクジラに会えたのでとっても素晴らしい体験になりました。またハワイに行った時はイルカに会いに行きたいです。

It was a truly wonderful place, and I really enjoyed snorkeling. I was also able to see sea turtles, which made me very satisfied. I highly recommend it!

本当に素敵な場所でシュノーケリングもとても楽しめました。ウミガメも見ることができ大満足です。おすすめです！

The sandbar was ankle-deep! Although the weather wasn't great on the day, and it rained at times, I was able to see swimming sea turtles, and the sandbar was beautiful, so I was satisfied! The hamburgers grilled on the boat were also delicious!

Perhaps due to the rain, the sea was a bit murky, and I couldn't see the corals well. That's why I give it 4 stars.

サンドバーはくるぶし丈でした！
当日天候に恵まれず、途中雨が降ったりしましたが、泳いでいるウミガメは見れましたし、サンドバーはキレイでしたので満足です！
船上で焼いてくれるハンバーガーもおいしかったです！

雨が降ったせいか、海がやや濁っていてサンゴはよく見えませんでした。
これが残念だったので★４つです。

I was able to cruise for a very long time.

I did whale watching, snorkeling, and sailing for lunch—all of it.

I think being out at sea longer than any other boat in the harbor shows the quality of service.

I will definitely use this again when I come to Maui.

とても長い時間をクルージング出来ました。

ホエールウォッチング、シュノーケリング、ランチにセーリング全て出来ました。

港のどの船よりも長い時間海に居れたのが、サービスの良さを表していると思います。

また、マウイ島に来た時は絶対利用します

THIS WAS ONE OF MANY TOURS WE BOOKED WITH YOU THRU OUR TRAVEL AGENT AND WE COULDN'T HAVE BEEN MORE PLEASED WITH IT. FROM START TO FINISH EVERYTHING WORKED PERFECTLY!

THIS WAS ONE OF MANY TOURS WE BOOKED WITH YOU THRU OUR TRAVEL AGENT AND WE COULDN'T HAVE BEEN MORE PLEASED WITH IT. FROM START TO FINISH EVERYTHING WORKED PERFECTLY!

Thank you for allowing me to participate in the tour this time. I was glad to be able to see manta rays up close.

Since it was a meet-up tour, I drove to the meeting point. I checked the GPS and the directions to the meeting place, so I didn't get lost. However, when I arrived at the meeting spot, no one was there at the scheduled time, which made me worried. But I was relieved to see the shuttle staff and the guide in the distance, and when I approached, I realized it was our tour. I would have preferred if someone had been at the meeting point.

After receiving the tour explanation, we boarded the boat to the manta ray location. The sea was quite rough during our trip, so the boat rocked a lot. As mentioned in the tour details, it's essential for women to take motion sickness medication. Out of the five women who participated this time, three experienced seasickness.

Once we arrived at the manta spot, we actually entered the water. We spent about an hour observing manta rays, so it gets quite cold in the water. I recommend wearing a wetsuit.

As it gradually got darker, multiple manta rays began to gather and came close to us. Seeing the manta rays up close was quite impressive and moving. Schools of fish also swam nearby, which was enjoyable.

For some people, the cold and seasickness might be challenging, but there's no doubt that you'll have an incredible experience, so I definitely encourage you to participate!

このたびはツアーに参加させてもらいありがとうございました。手の届くところにマンタを観ることができてよかったです。
現地集合ということで、レンタカーで集合場所まで。カーナビ＋集合場所までの説明を確認していたので迷うことはなかったです。ただ、定刻になっても集合場所には誰もおらず、心配していましたが、送迎組の方々とガイドさんが遠くの方にいたので近寄るとこちらのツアーだったことがわかりほっとしました。できたら集合場所には誰かいてほしかったです。
ツアーの説明をうけた後で船の乗り込みマンタの場所へ。私たちのときは海が荒れていたので船が結構揺れました。ツアーの詳細に書いてありますが、女性の方は酔い止めは必須です。今回参加した女性５名中３名が船酔いになっていました。
マンタスポットに到着して、実際に海へ。１時間くらいは海の中でマンタを観察することになるので、かなり身体が冷えます。なのでウェットスーツは着た方がいいともいました。
徐々に暗くなるとマンタが複数集まりはじめ、私たちのそばに寄ってきます。近くで観るマンタはかなりの迫力で感動しました。群れで泳いでいる魚も近くをすり抜けていくので楽しいです。
人によっては寒さと船酔いが大変かもしれませんが、感動する体験を味わえることは間違いないのでぜひ参加してみてください！

The weather was nice, and I was able to take a walk on a beautiful sandbar. Although there wasn't a beach, it was still quite lovely! The snorkeling afterward was a bit challenging due to the current, but with the guidance provided, those who can swim will enjoy it. I even saw a sea turtle swimming. And the BBQ after swimming was delicious! Although it wasn't cooked on-site, the meat was tender and tasty.

天気もよく、綺麗なサンドバーを散歩することができました。砂浜は出てませんが十分綺麗でした！その後のシュノーケリングも多少流されましたがレクチャーがあるので泳げる方なら楽しめます。ウミガメも泳いでました。そして泳いだ後のBBQが美味しいかったです！その場では焼いてないんですが、お肉が柔らかくて美味しいです。

I went to Hawaii for the first time on my honeymoon. I wanted to do something that felt Hawaiian, so I chose this tour. The tour guide (being a dolphin enthusiast, he humorously called himself the class representative) was very friendly and had a great vibe, making the bus ride to our destination a lot of fun. Fortunately, the weather was clear, and we had great visibility. First, we encountered whales on the boat and were able to see them spouting water several times. We also spotted sea turtles popping their heads up to the surface. When we saw the dorsal fins of dolphins, we all jumped in at once. It was my first time snorkeling in deep water, and I was surprised by how big the waves were. However, I was thrilled to see dolphins swimming just below me! We were able to see them in relatively shallow water, and they were huge, which was so moving. To top it off, we even saw a baby dolphin swimming while nursing! This seemed to be quite a rare sighting, so we were lucky.

We then changed locations to see sea turtles and schools of fish. We were able to swim close to about four sea turtles together. When we fed the fish some cheese, they quickly gathered around us, which was adorable. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to touch any fish.

Being in the ocean was quite challenging, but I got to see so many amazing things, and we were even guided to a power spot, making it a truly wonderful experience. I highly recommend this tour!

新婚旅行で初めてハワイに行きました。何かハワイらしいことをしたいと思ってこのツアーを選びました。ツアーの添乗員さん(イルカ中学なだけに肩書きは学級委員さん)はとっても気さくなノリの良い方で、行きのバスからとても楽しい時間でした。運よく晴れて視界も良好、まずはボート上でクジラと遭遇して潮吹きを数回みれました。ウミガメもちょくちょく顔を水面に出して来たのをみれました。イルカの背びれが水面に見えたのを確認してみんなで一斉に飛び込みました。深い海の中でシュノーケリングしたのは初めてでしたが、波がかなり大きくてびっくりしました。ですがイルカがすぐに下にいて興奮！しかも結構海の浅い所でみれたのでめちゃ大きくて感動しました。しかもおっぱいを飲みながら泳ぐ赤ちゃんイルカまで！！！これはかなり珍しいことだったようでラッキーでした。場所を変えて、ウミガメと魚の群れを見に行きました。ウミガメは4匹くらい一緒になっているところを近くで泳げました。魚にはチーズをやるとどんどん寄って来て可愛かったです。残念ながら私は魚を触れませんでした。
すごく海の中にいるのは大変でしたが、こんなにいろいろ見れて、しかもパワースポットまで案内してもらえてすごくいい体験をさせて頂きました。ぜひお勧めしたいツアーです！

Our experience at the sandbar can be summed up in one word: "the best memory" for our family. The emerald green sea is vividly etched in my mind. Since it was January, there was a slight chill when the wind blew, so I think it would be good to have something to wear over. The staff were also very kind, which we appreciated. I would like to participate again next time.

サンドバーでの体験は一言で言えば家族にとって「最高の思い出」となりました。エメラルドグリーンの海がはっきりと脳裏に刻まれました。1月ということもあり風が吹くと少し肌寒さも有りました。上に羽織るものが有れば良いと思われます。スタッフの方もとても親切でありがたかったです。次回も参加したいと思います。

Unfortunately, the day I participated didn't coincide with low tide, so the sandbar wasn't that impressive. However, during the subsequent sea turtle watching, I had many encounters, and while snorkeling, I was able to swim right next to the sea turtles. That alone made me feel that coming to Hawaii was worth it. Thank you to everyone who guided us.

残念ながら、参加した日が干潮時に合わず、サンドバーはそんなに感激しませんでした。でもその後のウミガメウオッチングではたくさんの出会いがあり、シュノーケルではウミガメのすぐそばで、一緒に泳ぐことができました。それだけで、ハワイに来てよかったと思いました。案内して下さった皆さん、有難うございました。

This was the highlight of our Kauai stay. The Na Pali coast was awesome. The captain was informative and friendly. He even spotted whales for us. The two man crew were super friendly and helpful.

The dream sandbar! It was drizzling a bit on the day, but once we arrived, the sun peeked through and we were able to have a wonderful time. We took a lot of photos, creating the best memories! ♪

憧れのサンドバー！当日は雨がちらほらだったけど、着いたら晴れ間もひらがって素敵なひとときを過ごせました。写真もいっばいとっていただき、最高の思い出ができました♪

The staff were kind, and I had a great time. The weather was also favorable, and I was able to see sea turtles perfectly, so it was really wonderful. Thank you very much.

スタッフの方も親切で、とても楽しかったです。
天候にも恵まれ、ウミガメもばっちり見れたので
本当に良かったです。ありがとうございました。

Molokini is one of the best spot for snorkel/snuba the water is way more clear then the beaches, tons of exotic fish for you to swim with and this group of guys are the best. Delicious food, ice cold drinks and everyone are very friendly, the best customer service I have encountered. With the captain's guidance we were able to spot lots of whales and sea turtles as well. If you decide to go to molokini make sure you go with these guys, you will not regret it.
