All Reviews for Snorkeling Cruises & Tours

The beautiful sea and location are amazing! I was able to relax in the calm sea with no waves. However, I didn't have time for shopping, so next time I want to go for a longer period to enjoy shopping as well. I highly recommend renting a bicycle!

キレイな海とロケーションは最高！
波のない穏やかな海でのんびりできました。ただ、ショッピングまでの時間はなかったので、次回はショッピングも出来るよう、もう少し長い時間で行ってみたいです。
自転車レンタルはお薦めです！

Wonderful experience finished with swimming with turtles. Equipment provided was good and staff were helpful and friendly.

To conclude, it was the worst tour I've ever experienced. First, the meeting point was unclear. The voucher only said "Honokohau Harbor," and I had no idea where to go in the harbor. When I called for clarification, the response was off the mark. Ultimately, I ended up in the wrong place. On top of that, on this day, the manta rays didn't show up, and I was told, "It only happens about three times a year." While I understand that it's a natural occurrence, I was very frustrated when they said, "With that kind of probability, it's actually lucky!" Furthermore, they kept emphasizing that "you must give tips to the captain and staff," which, although a cultural difference, I couldn't accept. I don't mind tipping, but the way they said it was unacceptable. Lastly, there was an attempt to show consideration by offering a gift for not seeing the manta rays, but this backfired. It was a postcard of a manta ray. Not only did it feel patronizing, but there weren't enough cards for the number of participants—just one per group. When I complained, they said, "It's originally a paid card, so please understand." While I get that it's a natural occurrence, considering that customers are paying for the experience, if there's even a 1% chance of failure, there should be some recovery measures in place as a business. I believe there should be alternative points, merchandise provided when things go wrong (in terms of quality and quantity), and at least a formal apology.

結論から申し上げて、過去に体験したことのないひどいツアーでした。まずは分かりにくい集合場所。バウチャーに「ホノウコウハーバー」としか書いておらず、ハーバーのどこに行けばいいのか全く分からなかった。電話で問い合わせたところ、的を射ない回答。結果的に間違っていたし。そしてこの日は運の悪いことにマンタは現れず、「年に3回くらいしかない」と説明を受け、自然のことなのでしょうが無いとは思いつつも、「そのくらいの確率だから、逆にラッキー！」とか言われて非常に腹が立った。その上「船長とスタッフにはチップを必ずあげてくれ」とひたすら強調していたのも、文化の違いとは言え納得できない。チップは払うが、その言い方はない。そして最後に「マンタに会えなかったからギフトを」という心遣いがあったがこれが逆効果。マンタのポストカード。気持ちが逆撫でされただけでなく、参加人数に対して枚数が足りず、1グループ1枚。文句を言うと「元々有料のカードなんだから、勘弁して」とのこと。自然のこととは言え、体験に対してカネを払っている顧客のことを考えれば、1％でも失敗の可能性があるのであれば、その際のリカバリー策はビジネスとしていくつか用意しておくべき。違うポイント、ダメだったときのグッズ提供（質・量とも）、一応の謝罪、あって然るべきと思う。

The meeting place is quite difficult to find.
You need to be somewhat accustomed to driving.
There were quite a few people who seemed to be affluent.

集合場所はかなりわかりにくいです。　
運転に多少慣れておく必要があります。　
少し富裕層な感じの人が多かったです。

You can enjoy it with a middle school level of English proficiency. I think it's a safe tour. Even in the middle of summer, it can be cold on the way back, so it's better to bring a jacket.

中学生レベルの英語力で充分楽しめます。　
安全なツアーだと思います。真夏でも帰りは寒いので上着持参したほうがいいです。　

I was taken to many places that you definitely can't reach on foot. I got to see lava and many waterfalls in the canyon. The feeling of approaching while circling was something I had never experienced before. I didn't expect the helicopter to be so stable; it was a comfortable journey in the sky.

歩いては絶対いけない場所へたくさん連れてってもらいました。
溶岩もみれ、渓谷のたくさんの滝をみれました。
旋回して近づいていくときの気持ちよさは初めて味わう感じでした。
ヘリもこんなに揺れないとは思ってもなく快適な空の旅でした。

I was amazed by the abundance of fish and the clarity of the water in Carelac Bay. It was fantastic to see dolphins as well. The captain's boat handling and the way he braked when entering the cave were exquisite, making for an exhilarating and enjoyable experience.

ケアラクケア湾の魚の多さと海のクリアさにはびっくりしました。
イルカも見れて最高でした。
船長さんのボートの運転も洞窟に突っ込む際のブレーキのしかたも絶妙でハラハラしながら気持ちいい体験ができました。

The snorkeling was amazing, the crew are the nicest people ever & the food was so good! We had an amazing time. We got to see a monk seal & on the way back to the dock they stop at a spot where they know there are a bunch of turtles to see. The crew was so friendly and they made sure you were comfortable & happy.

I participated alone in August. I was told to confirm by phone at 4 PM on the day of the event, so I called, but it seemed that it wasn't particularly necessary, which surprised me. It seems that it's not needed unless the weather is particularly dangerous.

After going to the office and completing the check-in, they lend you a wetsuit in the next room without saying anything. After that, you go to the place where the boat departs on your own. The directions are simple, but I ended up getting lost unexpectedly. In fact, there were people who got lost and couldn't make it in time, so I think those who lack confidence should allow themselves plenty of time to get there.

The entire process is in English, but there aren't any detailed instructions, so if you have the guts, you'll be fine. It's a valuable experience. By the way, there were participants who couldn't swim and children as well.

After getting in the water, your body gets quite cold, so a towel and something to wear over yourself are essential. Even in August, my teeth were chattering.

８月に１人で参加しました。
当日の４時に電話で確認をとのことだったので、電話してみましたが、特に必要じゃないようで、かえってビックリされました。特に天候が危ない感じとかじゃなければ必要なさそうです。
事務所に行って、受付を済ますと、何も言わなくても隣の部屋でウエットスーツを貸してくれます。その後、自分で船が出る場所まで行きます。道順は簡単なのですが、あっけなく迷いました。実際、道に迷って間に合わず参加できなかった人たちもいたので、自信が無い人は余裕をもって行ったほうがいいと思います。
全行程英語ですが、特に細かい指示もないので、度胸があれば大丈夫です。価値のある経験ができます。
ちなみに、泳げない人や子供の参加していました。
水につかった後はかなり体が冷えるのでタオルと羽織るものは欠かせません。８月でも歯がカタカタいいました。

I couldn't see the white sand emerging from the sea due to the season, but I was able to enjoy the beautiful shallow waters, snorkeling, and seeing sea turtles and mantas! The hamburger for lunch was delicious, and the staff was wonderful!

季節的に白い砂が海面から出ているところは見れませんでしたが、きれいな遠浅の海とシュノーケリング、ウミガメ＆マンタを楽しむことができました！昼食のハンバーガーもおいしかったし、スタッフさんも素晴らしかったです！

At first, I was anxious, but I persevered and ultimately had a wonderful encounter and experience with the dolphins. I was moved by how the guide prioritized both the guests and the dolphins.
I would like to use this service again. My wife and I are talking about wanting to see whales in the winter.

最初は不安だったがあきらめずにがんばっていただき、最終的にはすばらしいイルカとの出会い、体験になった。客のこと、イルカのことを最優先にガイドいただき感動しました。
また利用したいです。冬にクジラをみたいなと妻と話しています。

The catamaran is in great shape! The crew was FANTASTIC and very accommodating. They really like their job and appeared to be so happy to be on-board with us. We were very lucky to see Dolphin Pods and giant sea turtles!!

This was my friend's first time to do SNUBA. The instructor named Cameron did an incredible job in encouraging and supporting her through out the entire SNUBA portion of this excursion. She dived about 15 feet below the surface and now she wants to become certified diver because she CANNOT wait to get back down there!

Overall it was a great experience! I would definitely suggest this excursion to everyone who visits Hawaii!

Abbiamo fatto questa escursione durante il nostro viaggio di nozze ad Honolulu ed alloggiavamo all'Hilton Hawaiian Village.
L'escursione è stata nel complesso molto bella, ma il servizio navetta per portarti dall'hotel al porto dove partiva il catamarano è stato veramente scadente, all'andata non c'era posto per tutti e due ragazze si sono fatte 40 minuti di strada in piedi, al ritorno abbiamo aspettato circa 40 minuti perchè la navetta ha ritardato.
l'escursione invece è stata molto bella, abbiamo fatto 2 immersioni, abbiamo visto 3 tartarughe ma di delifini neanche l'ombra.
A bordo c'è un bel pranzo e i ragazzi sono gentilissimi e carinissimi!

We booked a morning tour.
We went with high expectations, but it was a bit different from what we saw in books and on TV, with shallow areas that were knee-deep!
It seems that what we see in books and on TV is only during the best conditions, and this can only be left to chance. So if you lower your expectations a bit, you're sure to be incredibly moved.
Since it was our first time, we were quite excited, but next time I hope to see some sandy areas! (*^^*)
Even if there aren't any sandy areas, the contrast of that ocean is truly wonderful!
When you think of Hawaii, I would definitely rank it in my top three for nice views!
Also, the crew leader, Mike, was incredibly kind, and being able to have pleasant conversations with him was one of the reasons we had such a great experience.
It really became a wonderful memory! ☆*:.｡. o(≧▽≦)o .｡.:*☆

僕らは午前中のツアーを申し込みました。
二人で期待に胸膨らませ行きましたけど、本やテレビで見たのと少し違うく浅いとこでも膝ぐらいありました！
やはり本やテレビで見せられるのは最高に条件の整っている時で、これは運任せとしか言えません。だから少し期待度を下げて行くとものすごく感動すること間違いなしです。
僕らは初めてだったものだからかなり興奮しましたが、次回行った時は是非砂地が見られるといいな〜って(*^^*)
例え砂地が出てなくたって、あの海のコントラストは本当に素晴らしいものです☆
ハワイと言えば？？で僕ならTOP３に入れたいぐらいのナイスビューでした！
そしてクルーのリーダー？！のマイクがもの凄く優しく、気持ちよく会話できたのも理由の一つです。
本当にいい思い出になりました〜☆*:.｡. o(≧▽≦)o .｡.:*☆

I participated with my sister. The morning malasadas were delicious, and we encountered a lot of dolphins! It seems like we had the highest encounter rate recently, and we spotted several baby dolphins! No matter where we looked, there were dolphins, and when we put our ears in the water, we could hear their sounds—it was like a dream. There were also many large sea turtles, which was fun. If I have the chance to go to Hawaii again, I definitely want to participate! The staff were cheerful and it was enjoyable~!! Thank you! I'm so happy!

姉妹で参加しました。
朝のマラサダも美味しかったし、イルカにもたくさん出会えました♪ここ最近で1番の遭遇率だったみたいで赤ちゃんイルカも何匹も発見しました！左右下どこを見てもイルカがいて海の中に耳をつけると鳴き声が聞こえてきて夢のような時間でした。ウミガメも大きいのがたくさんいて楽しかったです。
またハワイへ行く機会があったら必ず参加したいです！
スタッフの皆さんも陽気で楽しかった~!!
ありがとうございました！幸せ！

By chance, I was able to see a rainbow, a sea turtle, and everything. The sandbar was as beautiful as I expected, with very clear water. Although the snorkeling was brief, I saw a lot of fish. However, in terms of clarity, the waters around Kerama Islands in Okinawa are much clearer. Since it's a sandbar, there’s likely a lot of sand, and with many people snorkeling at once, the sand gets stirred up, so the visibility underwater isn't very good. However, I participated mainly to see the scenery of the sandbar, so I was quite satisfied. (By the way, the sandwich was just bread with cheese and ham, and I wasn't expecting much, but it was a bit disappointing.) Also, I didn't feel seasick at all. Perhaps because it was calm in the inland sea, the boat didn't rock much.

偶然にも虹、えい、ウミガメすべてが見れました。サンドバーも期待通りとてもきれいな海でした。シュノーケリングは短い時間ではありましたが、魚もたくさんみれました。ただ、透明度に関しては沖縄の慶良間島のほうがずっと透明です。サンドバーなだけあって砂が多いのだろうし、大勢で一度にシュノーケリングするので砂が舞い上がるのか、海の中の透明度はあまりよくないです。ただ、シュノーケリングよりサンドバーの景色を見たくて参加したので、十分満足です。（ちなみにサンドイッチはパンにチーズとハムがはさんであるものがでただけで、期待してはいませんでしたが、うーん・・・という感じでした。）それから、船酔いは全然しません。内海で静かだからかあまり船はゆれません。

The guide who picked us up in the morning spoke suspicious Japanese. Inside the car, he explained everything in English without any warnings, and we arrived at the destination. Also, this guide disappeared halfway through the return bus ride. Well, putting that guide aside, at the local boat, we were properly attended to in Japanese. What was wonderful was that we had about an hour of sandbar, turtle watching, and snorkeling, so even my wife, who can't swim, had a great time snorkeling with a life jacket and a float. For lunch, we had hamburgers, which were very delicious—I wanted a second helping. Additionally, the crew here was very cheerful and greeted us with a loud "Aloha!" which lifted our spirits. The guide who picked us up in the morning played the guitar and sang during lunchtime, but it seemed like that was his job... (not really necessary?). In particular, the boats for Japanese and foreigners were separated, but the foreigners were smoking at the sandbar and had poor manners, which made me feel a bit uncomfortable. Overall, it was very good.

朝迎えに来たガイドさんが、あやしい日本語でした。車内では、英語で全部説明？してるし、何の注意点もなく、現地へ到着しました。またこのガイドは、帰りのバスでは、途中で降りて消えてしまいました。まぁ、そのガイドはさておき、現地の船では日本語できちんと対応してもらいました。すばらしいのは、サンドバーとカメウォッチ、さらにはシュノーケルが１Ｈぐらいあったので、泳げない嫁でも、ライフジャケットと浮棒？でとても楽しくシュノーケルをしていました。ランチは、ハンバーグでしたがとてもおいしく、おかわりがほしいくらいでした。また、ここのクルーはとても陽気でアローーーーーーーハァーのあいさつで気分を楽しくしてくれました。朝迎えに来たガイドは、ランチタイムに、ギターを弾いて歌っていましたが、結局それが仕事みたいでした・・・（あまり必要ない人？？）とくに、日本人と外人さんの船が分かれていたのですが、外人さんは、サンドバーでもたばこを吸っていたり、マナーが悪いので、気分が少し嫌になりました。全体的にはとても良かったです

Snorkeling - Great to swim with the turtles, however no fish to really see. Provided with snorkel but not fins. maybe worth brining if you want to try and swim deeper and get to the turtles quickly before they return to the bottom. Probably saw 20-25 Turtles.
Sailing - Very cool - Fast & Fun. Saw Dolphins, Flying fish

It rained early in the morning, and it was a bit chilly, but the weather gradually improved, allowing us to enjoy the beautiful sandbar! Since I was barefoot, my feet hurt a bit on the sandbar, but I was able to enjoy it as part of the natural experience. While snorkeling, I was able to see sea turtles, corals, and various creatures living among the corals up close. My family seemed to be fine, but I got cold while snorkeling and felt chilly; however, the warm tea and mushroom soup really warmed me up. I thought I would like to visit the sandbar again at a different time in a different season if I get the chance.

早朝に雨が降り、少し肌寒い中でしたが徐々に天気も良くなりキレイなサンドバーを楽しむことが出来ました！裸足だったのでサンドバーは足が痛いところもありましたが、それも自然、と満喫できました。シュノーケリングではウミガメやサンゴ、サンゴに済む色々な生物も間近に見ることができました。家族は大丈夫だったようですが、私はシュノーケリングで体が冷えてしまって寒い思いをしましたが温かいお茶とマッシュルームのスープが体にしみました。
また機会があったら違う季節の違う時間にサンドバーに行ってみたいなと思いました。

I participated in the afternoon session, but I made a mistake with the meeting time and arrived a bit late, though they waited for me. The staff was kind.

The rafting exceeded my expectations in terms of speed, just as the reviews said. We bounced off the waves and then dropped suddenly, and my backside was getting hit repeatedly. Of course, I couldn't let go of the handrails.

After quite a distance, we were taken to the snorkeling spot, where we stayed for an hour. They also lent us noodle-shaped floaties. Without those, I, being in my forties, would have reached my physical limit. There were sea urchins scattered on the rocks, and I saw a lot of fish. It was quite deep just a little away from the shore, which was a bit scary. After returning home, I learned about the shark incident, so thinking back, I'm just glad I was safe.

Since the sun wasn't shining too much, my 8-year-old son got cold after about 15 minutes and got back on the boat, so I followed shortly after. That was a mistake... I tend to get seasick, and I completely got seasick on the boat that was anchored and swaying with the waves. They provided snacks, drinks, and cut fruits, and my son was munching away. I was struggling during the waiting time and felt like I was going to pass out (laughs).

On the way back, I was just thinking about how I couldn't wait to get back, but it seemed that the four boys, including my 8-year-old, were very satisfied.

As you can see, opinions within the family were quite divided, so it might be tough for those who are not fond of roller coasters, but I recommend it for those who love speed and find the beach a bit lacking.

午後の部参加でしたが、集合時間を間違え、少し遅れましたが待っててくれました。スタッフは親切です。

ラフティング、口コミ通り予想を超えるスピードでした。波に当たっては跳ね上がりそして急落下、お尻もドンドン打ち付けられます。もちろん手は絶対手すりを離せません。

まだかまだかと結構な距離を走り、シュノーケリングスポットに連れて来られて、そこで1時間滞在。
ヌードルという棒状の浮き輪も貸してくれます。これがないとアラフォーの私は体力的に限界。岩場にはウニもゴロゴロ、お魚もたくさん見れました。岸から少し離れただけでかなり深いので、少し怖かったな。
帰国後、サメの事件を知ったので、今考えると無事で何よりです。

太陽があまり照ってなかったので8歳の息子が15分程で寒がり、ボートに上がったので私も間も無く上がりました。
それがいけなかった。。
元々船酔いする私は、その停泊して波に揺られるボートに完全に酔ってしまいました。
スナック菓子や飲物、カットフルーツを出してくれて、息子はムシャムシャ食べてました。私はそれからの待ち時間が辛過ぎて、気を失いそうでした（笑）

帰りのボートも早く着かないかとばかり考えてましたが、私以外の8歳児含む男4人は大満足だったようです。

このように家族内でも評価が真っ二つなので、ジェットコースターが苦手な方には辛いかもしれませんが、スピード好きな方、ビーチでは物足りない方にはオススメです。

Two snorkeling spots and a thrilling cruise on a speedboat. A friendly captain who helped us look for dolphins. It was a fulfilling tour.

二カ所でのシュノーケリング、スリルあるスピードボートでのクルーズ。
途中イルカを探してくれるフレンドリーなキャプテン。充実したツアー
でした。

I participated in early September. First of all, I want to thank the staff for their cheerful service. I had a very enjoyable time. I was able to see turtles up close, and it was a great tour with no complaints at all. I definitely recommend it over budget tour companies.

9月上旬に参加させていただきました。スタッフの皆さまの明るい対応にまず感謝。非常に楽しく過ごせました。亀も間近に見れましたし、全く文句なしのいいツアーでした。激安ツアー会社より、絶対お勧めです。

I never expected to encounter dolphins so close while swimming in the sea. The excitement of seeing a pod of mother and baby dolphins underwater is unforgettable! I was also lucky to encounter a sea turtle. The staff were cheerful, kind, and attentive, which made me feel comfortable participating.

海に入って、こんなに近くでイルカに遭遇出来るとは思いませんでした。
親子のイルカの大群が海の下に見えたときの興奮は忘れられません！
ウミガメにも運良く遭遇出来て、ラッキーでした。
スタッフも明るく、親切・丁寧で安心して参加出来ました。

I was able to see both dolphins and sea turtles, and as a bonus, I also saw a pair of spotted eagle rays, which is unique to Hawaii. It was a great experience. Thank you very much, and I plan to use your services again on my next trip to Hawaii.

イルカもウミガメもみれたし、おまけにスパイイーグル（黒に白い斑点模様のでかいエイ）のぺアーも見れました、ハワイならではですかね、いい体験ができました。ありがとうございました、次回渡ハワイの時もまた利用させてもらおうと思ってます。

I participated alone, and on top of that, I was the only one without transportation, so I drove directly to the boat harbor, which made me quite anxious. The day before the tour, I called to confirm the details of the harbor, and since it was my first time driving overseas and there was a cancellation for the second shuttle, they kindly allowed me to switch from the first to the second shuttle, even though it was the day before!

The tour itself was great; unlike other tours where Japanese participants are often left to local guides partway through, the Japanese staff from Dolphin University stayed with us until the end, which was truly reassuring!

The local staff were super enthusiastic! I had so much fun!

Unfortunately, I didn't get to see any turtles, but I did see dolphins! It was moving!

ひとりでの参加。しかも、私だけ送迎なしで、ボートハーバーに直接車で行くと言うかなり、不安な参加でした。ツアー前日、ハーバーの詳細を確認の為、電話で確認していたら、初めて海外で運転している事や、第二便にキャンセルが出た事もあるので、第二便にしてゆっくり来てもいいですよと、前日にも関わらず、第一便から第二便に変更して下さいました！

ツアー自体も、他のツアーは途中まで日本人がいてもツアー自体は現地の人に丸投げだったりするのが、最後までイルカ大学の日本人スタッフが一緒にいてくれるので、本当に安心！

現地のスタッフ達も、超ノリノリ！
と〜っても楽しんじゃいました！

残念ながら亀には会えませんでしたが、イルカには会えました！
感動！

Rafting that feels like a roller coaster is absolutely exhilarating! It runs so fast, you wonder how far it will go.

We had plenty of snorkeling at two spots, Honauanu Bay and Kealakekua Bay. The warm water was comfortable, and the sea was deep yet endlessly clear and blue. When we went to a slightly shallower rocky area, we were surrounded by a huge school of fish—so satisfying!

Along the way, we heard stories about Captain Cook and learned that two-thirds of the Big Island is hidden underwater, making it the largest mountain in the world, and how tsunamis have shaped the land. There were also discussions about the climate and Kona coffee, with various guides sharing information.

On the way back, we sped along at full throttle! Just when I thought we were going to crash into a rock, we made a sharp turn—phew! Then, just as I thought we were going to hit something again, we suddenly slowed down and quietly entered a cave, where the sea was a mystical emerald green. The guide explained why the minerals make the water look blue, the geological layers, and how big waves lifted large rocks and placed them on the shore. He provided a lot of detailed explanations, but it was hard to follow because he spoke so quickly in English. Still, it was fun!

The staff was very kind. Even though I couldn't understand everything he said in fast English, he kept calling me by my first name, which made me feel comfortable. They also allowed us to store our bags, so I felt secure. I definitely want to go again!

ジェットコースターみたいなラフティングは爽快そのもの！どこまで行くのってくらい走る。
ホナウナウ湾とケアラケクア湾の２カ所でたっぷりシュノーケリング。温暖な水温で快適、深いけどどこまでも透明で蒼い海、少し浅めの岩場に行けば大群に囲まれ大～満足！
途中でキャプテンクックの話やハワイ島は海の下に２／３も隠れてて世界で一番大きな山だとか津波が来て削ったとか気候やらコナコーヒーの話を交えいろんなガイドをしてくれたよ。
帰りもめちゃくちゃ飛ばすね～全速力だぁ！あ～岩にぶつかる～～っと思ったら急旋回、ふぅう～ホっ。またまたぶつかる～～と思ったら急減速し静かに洞窟の中へ、そこは神秘的なエメラルドグリーンの海。鉱物の種類がなんでだから青く見えるんだとか地層とか、大波が来て大きな岩を持ち上げて岩場に置いたのがあれだとか、いろいろ詳しい解説してくれたけど早口の英語でチンプンカンプン、でも楽しいのが良いよね～～。
スタッフはとっても親切。早口の英語で何言ってんだかわかんなかったけど下の名前でずーっと呼んでくれて快適だった。荷物もカバン1個くらいなら必要以外は仕舞ってもらえるんで安心でした。またぜひ行きたいです！

I participated on September 4th. From the moment I got on the shuttle, Beat was already giving off a fun vibe. The staff were very friendly, and I had a great time surrounded by the blue sky, blue sea, and stunning scenery that looked like a painting.

During snorkeling, I was happy to see many sea turtles. The mushroom soup was comforting for my chilled body.

The only disappointment was the DVD I signed up for, thinking it would be a family-only shoot with a professional photographer. After taking a few initial shots, when I tried to take off what I was wearing, the guide said it would be confusing, so I kept my rash guard on. However, the finished DVD only included the same shots taken by the photographer at the same location as the guide's initial photos... I was told they would chase and capture various moments, but it was disappointing that the background and everything else remained unchanged.

Other than that, I had a lot of fun, so I give it four stars.

９月４日に参加しました。もう送迎車のビートさんからすでに楽しいオーラが出てました。
スタッフの皆さんとても感じがよく、青い空、青い海、絵にかいたような素晴らしい景色の中楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。
シュノーケリングではたくさんの海亀に会えてハッピーでした。冷えた体にきのこスープもしみました。
ただ一つ残念だったのは家族だけでプロカメラマンに撮影してもらえると聞いて申し込んだDVDです。
最初何枚か撮影した後に着ているものを脱ごうとしたらガイドさんにわからなくなるからと言われラッシュガードをずっと着ていましたが出来上がったDVDは最初にガイドさんが撮ってくれた同じ場所でカメラマンが撮ったものだけ・・・
追いかけて色々とってくれるからと聞いていたのに背景も何も変わらず残念でした。
それ以外はとっても楽しかったので星４つで。

We set sail from the port and first went turtle watching. The weather was clear and the wind was calm, so we were able to see several turtles, and we even happened to spot a manta ray! We spent about 40 minutes on the sandbar, doing 20 minutes each for photo taking and snorkeling. We finished everything in the morning, but I think it was a very fulfilling activity.

船で港から出港してまずは亀のウォッチングをしました。
この日はよく晴れていて風も穏やかだったので亀を何匹も見ることができて、たまたまマンタも見られました‼
サンドバーの上陸時間は40分程度で、写真撮影とシュノーケリングを20分ずつやりました。午前中に全て終わりましたがとても内容の濃いアクティビティだったと思います。

I had some anxiety about snorkeling, but they encouraged me to try multiple times until I could see the dolphins, which became a truly wonderful memory. During the tour, the program was engaging and not boring at all. Not only did we see the dolphins, but we also enjoyed malasadas and lunch, and while snorkeling at spots other than where the dolphins were, I was really moved by the many tropical fish and turtles I encountered!

シュノーケルに不安もありましたが、イルカが見れるまで何度もトライしてくれて、本当にいい思い出になりました。ツアーの最中、飽きさせないプログラムで、イルカだけでなく、マラサダやランチ食べたり、イルカ以外のスポットでのシュノーケルでは本当に沢山の熱帯魚、かめに出会えて感動でした！

We weren't blessed with good weather, so we didn't encounter the beautiful sandbar we had imagined... However, our guide was very kind and took a lot of photos, which made it enjoyable! We were also taken to a really large coral reef, but I want to come back and try again when the weather is nice.

天気に恵まれず、想像していた美しいサンドバーには出会えませんでした…でも、ガイドの方が非常にやさしく、写真もたくさん撮ってくれて楽しかったです！すごく大きなサンゴ礁にも連れて行ってもらったけど、次は天気のいい時にリベンジしたいです。
