All Reviews for Snorkeling Cruises & Tours

I participated with my husband on November 22.

It was our first time snorkeling, and I wasn't confident in my swimming skills. Everyone around us was young (my husband is over 60).

When we got on the boat, I had a bit of regret, but once we got into the water, there were so many dolphins. The instructor, Daisuke, pulled us close to them, and I quickly got used to being in the water.

I felt like a child again, and we had a wonderful time with the dolphins, squealing with joy.

Regardless of age, I encourage everyone to join in!

１１月２２日に夫婦で参加しました。

初めてのシュノーケリング。泳ぎに自信なし。
周りは若い人ばかり。(主人は６０歳過ぎ）

船に乗った時は、ちょっと後悔しましたが、
海に入ったらイルカがいっぱいで
インストラクターの大輔君が近くまで
引っ張って行ってくれ、海の中にもすぐに慣れました。

童心に返り、キャーキャー言いながら、イルカと楽しい時間を過ごす事ができました。

年齢に関係なく、皆さんも参加して下さい。

I participated because I wanted to see the sandbar with my own eyes. What I had imagined was being able to walk on the sandbar. However, there was water up to my knees, which was a bit disappointing. (The sandbars you often see are really only visible on limited days, right...?) However, the staff were very enjoyable, and the content was fulfilling, so I was very satisfied.

サンドバーをこの目で見たくて、参加しました。
私が想像してたのは、サンドバーの上を歩けることでした。
でも、ひざ下ぐらいまでの水がありちょっと残念でした。（よく見るサンドバーは、本当に見れる日が限られてるから感・・・？）
しかし、スタッフの方もとても楽しい方々で、内容も充実していてとても満足です。

We went to the Big Island for our honeymoon.

Both of us were anxious since it was our first time snorkeling, but the captain and Daisuke were very kind, making it the best memory of our trip.

Even though they said there was a 99% chance of seeing wild dolphins, we were unsure if we would actually see them, but we were able to meet so many dolphins, which was truly moving.

Additionally, there were only eight participants, including us, so it was a small group. Daisuke took us close to the dolphins, allowing us to see them up close!

I couldn't swim, but there were floatation devices available, so I didn't have to worry.

It's definitely worth participating!!

新婚旅行でハワイ島に行きました。

２人とも初めてのシュノーケリングで不安でしたが、船長さんも大輔さんもとても親切で、この旅行で一番の思い出になりました。

野生のイルカなので、９９％会えるとは言っても本当に会えるかわからないという中、本当にたくさんのイルカちゃんに会うことができ、本当に感動しました。

また私たちを含めて、参加者は８名の少人数制で、一緒に潜る大輔さんがイルカの近くまで連れて行ってくれたため、とても近くでイルカを見ることもできました！

私は泳げませんでしたが、ちゃんと浮き棒があるので、心配いりませんでした。

参加の価値ありです！！

After seeing the dolphins, while moving to a point where we could see sea turtles, we were stopped in the water due to engine trouble. We returned to port safely on the one boat that was functioning. The hula dance lesson, the staff's planned dance on the boat, and the BBQ lunch (which had been cooked on the boat but was cold) were held at a park instead.

It seemed to be an unexpected trouble, but the staff were smiling, kind, and fun, which made me forget that we hardly got to do any snorkeling or experiences like kayak surfing or paddle surfing.

However, what was disappointing was the company's response. Despite the schedule changes due to the boat trouble, the apology was simply a discount on the DVD (which could be purchased by those who wanted it) from 8,000 yen to 3,000 yen. At that moment, everyone was tired from seasickness and agreed to it, but considering that some might not want to purchase it, I found it strange.

It was truly disappointing, especially since all the staff were great. Among the group, I was the only one participating for the second time, and knowing how much fun I had the first time made me feel sorry for my friends who joined me this time. Even though it was an unexpected trouble, I believe such situations could happen again in the future, and I hope they will consider a proper response.

I appreciate the participants and the staff for their efforts. Thank you very much.

イルカを見たあとに、ウミガメのみれるポイントに移動中、
エンジンのトラブルで、海の上で足止め、
二つのうち一つ無事なほうで、帰港しました。
フラダンスレッスン、船上で予定していたスタッフのダンス、BBQランチ（船で焼かれたものを持ってきてあり、冷えてました）は公園で行われました。
予想外のトラブルだったようですが、スタッフの方たちは、笑顔で優しく楽しく、結局シュノーケリングがほとんどできなかったこと、カヤックサーフィンやパドルサーフィンなどの体験もできなかったことを忘れさせてくれる気がしました。

ただ、残念なのが、会社の対応です。船のトラブルで、スケジュールに変更があったにもかかわらず、お詫びが『（希望者のみ購入する）DVD8000円を3000円に割引します』といったものでした。その場では、皆船酔いなどの疲れもあり、了承しましたが、購入しない場合もあることを考えるとおかしいと思います。

スタッフの方たちが、全員よい方だっただけに本当に残念です。グループで参加の中、私だけ二回目参加で、一回目とても楽しかったことを知っていただけに一緒に参加した友人にも申し訳ない気持ちになりました。
予想外のトラブルとはいっても、今後もあり得ることだと思いますし、キチンとした対応を考えていただきたいと思います。

参加者のかたたち、スタッフのみなさんの対応には感謝いたします。ありがとうございました。

This is my second time at Sandbar, and I felt comfortable participating thanks to the fun staff.

My child was 2 years old last time and is now 5, but even at 2, they were able to enjoy swimming in the shallow water.

The staff were also kind to the children, and it seemed like they were having a great time.

I hope to join with my friends' family next time!

Thank you very much!!

サンドバーは2回目ですが、楽しいスタッフさんで安心して参加でしました。

子供が前回は2歳で今回は5歳ですが、2歳のときから遠浅で楽しく泳ぐことができました。

スタッフさんも、子供に優しくしていただいて、楽しそうでした。

次回はお友達ファミリーと一緒に参加できたらいいなぁとおもいます♪

ありがとうございました！！

It was cold, perhaps because of the season in November or the cloudy weather. I didn't expect it since we were walking on sand, but there were broken corals scattered around, which hurt my feet. I think it would be better to have water sandals. The sea had poor visibility, and there were no fish, which was disappointing! However, it was nice that the honu came close to us. I was surprised by how luxurious the light meal was, despite it being labeled as a snack.

11月という季節のせいか、曇りのせいかとにかく寒かったです。
砂の上を歩くというので、考えていませんでしたが、
割れたサンゴがゴロゴロしてて、足が痛く水中用のサンダルがあったほうが良いと思います。
海は透明度が悪く、魚もいなくてガッカリ！
ただ、ホヌが近くまで来てくれてよかったです。
軽食付きとありましたが、とても豪華でびっくりしました。

I was nervous at first because it was a rubber boat but it was a wonderful experience and if you go purchase the CD that is taken with your group.. It came this week. Wonderful.

I participated on the day I arrived on the Big Island. Since my hotel was the Kona Coast Resort, it was just a short walk to the Keauhou Shopping Center where the Sea Paradise office is located. I found it cumbersome to confirm my reservation over the phone, so I went directly to the office to do so. (Photo: Since it was from the hotel, the office was in the building immediately to the right after entering from the lower entrance of the shopping center.) You walk past the Hilton to get to the port. They give you a map, so it's easy to find. As mentioned in the reviews, I rented a wetsuit next to the office. Everyone rented one. It takes just a little over 5 minutes from the port to the location where there is an English explanation. There were no other Japanese people besides my family. It's totally fine if you don't understand English. Each person receives a buoy, and (a large foreign man received two) you tuck it under your arm and enter the sea. As noted in the reviews, the best position is near the light. I absolutely recommend it. Mantas come right away, and their power is astonishing. About three of them circle around so closely that you can almost touch them.

Points:
- Be sure to rent a wetsuit.
- Position yourself near the light.
- While you tuck the buoy under your arm on the raft, when on the raft, hold it with your hands and bring the buoy to your feet to view it horizontally. If it's near your upper body, you may get seasick after about 40 minutes.

If possible, bring a digital camera that can record video; you'll be able to capture amazing footage. You can take beautiful pictures even without a flash. Since the manta's movements are fast, photos may come out blurry. I used a LUMIX FT-20 and captured some impressive videos.

If you're hesitating about whether to participate, I can assure you it will be a wonderful memory.

ハワイ島に到着した日に参加しました。ホテルがコナコーストリゾートだったのでシーパラダイス事務所があるケアホウショッピングセンターまでは歩いてすぐでした。電話で予約再確認をするのも面倒だったので直接事務所に行って予約再確認をしました。（写真：ホテルからだったのでショッピングセンターの下側の入り口から入ってすぐの右側の建物に事務所がありました。）港へはヒルトンの前を通っていきます。地図をくれるのですぐにわかります。書き込みにあるように事務所の隣でウェットスーツを借りました。全員借りていました。港からは5分ちょっとくらいで場所につき英語の説明があります。私たち家族以外は日本人はいませんでした。英語がわからなくても全く大丈夫です。うきうき棒を一人ずつもらい、（太っている外人の男の人は2本もらっていました）脇に挟んで海に入ります。書き込みにあったようにライトの近くがベストポジションです。絶対お勧めです。すぐにマンタがやってきてその迫力にびっくり。3匹くらいがほとんど触れるくらいに何度も旋回してやってきます。
ポイント
ウェットスーツは必ず借りる。

ライトの近くに陣取る。

うきうき棒はいかだまでは脇に挟んでいきますが、いかだでは手でいかだをもってうきうき棒は足の先に持っていき水平になって見ます。上半身にあると40分くらい入っていると波酔いしやすくなります。

できれば動画が撮れるデジカメを持っていくと素晴らしい動画が撮れます。フラッシュなしでもきれいに撮れます。写真はマンタの動きが速いのでぶれてしまいます。LUMIX FT-20で撮りましたが迫力ある動画が撮れました。

どうしようかと迷っている方は是非参加されたら素晴らしい思い出になること間違いありません。

I participated in the Heaven's Sea tour! I actually wanted to join in the morning, but the afternoon tour was perfectly fine, and I thoroughly enjoyed Heaven's Sea! A sea turtle came really close to me, and it was my first time experiencing something like that; it was so much fun! The afternoon tour included lunch, and the lunch menu was incredibly delicious. I was worried about getting seasick, but I didn't feel it at all and had a great time! I would love to join this tour again if I have the chance!

天国の海ツアー参加してきました！
本当は朝から参加にしたかったんですが、昼からツアーでもまったく問題なく天国の海を満喫できました！
ウミガメが本当に近くによってきてくれて、あんな体験初めてで本当にたのしかったです！昼ツアーはランチつきだったんですが、ランチメニューもものすごくおいしかったです。船酔いも心配してましたが、全然なく思いっきり楽しめました！
機会があればまた参加したいツアーです！

I participated on November 18th.

The dolphins swim so close that it feels like I could reach out and touch them. The ones in a good mood make eye contact and invite you to play with them. They show off incredible moves, including a seven-spin jump after gaining momentum, and even some things that are hard to describe.

Our guide, Daisuke, cheerfully declared, "I’m going to have a great time too," which made the tour really enjoyable and uplifting. He kept the conversation lively and entertaining, so the travel time never felt boring. Plus, our reliable captain accurately predicted the dolphins' movements, allowing us to see them at every spot. Both of them were the best guides. Thank you so much for a dream-like experience.

It was such a wonderful tour that I would love to participate again, even two or three times. I highly recommend it!

11/18に参加させて頂きました。

本当に手をのばせば届いてしまいそうなくらいの距離をイルカが泳いでくれます。機嫌がいい子は目を合わせてくれたり、一緒に遊ぼうと誘ってくれます。水中で勢いをつけてからの7回転ジャンプ、ちょっと言えないあんなことまで全部見せてくれます。

ガイドの大輔さんは明るく「自分もめっちゃ楽しみますから」と堂々と宣言していて本当に楽しく気持ちのいいツアーでした。話題も豊富で楽しませてくれて、移動時間も全然飽きません。また、頼れるキャプテンがイルカのラインをことごとく正確に言い当ててくれるので、すべてのポイントでイルカに会えました。お二人は最高のガイドです。夢のような時間を本当にありがとうございました。

二度でも三度でも参加したいくらいの素敵なツアー。オススメです！

I participated with my husband on our first trip to the Big Island.

We were really lucky that day, as we saw three manta rays before swimming with the dolphins. After that, we encountered dolphins that happened to be in a good mood, and we could hear their sounds and meet many dolphins. Our guide, Daisuke, worked hard to lead everyone to where the dolphins were, allowing us to see them up close, which was truly moving. The dolphins were also swimming around him playfully.

The weather was great that day, and we could see Maui and Mauna Kea as well. After the tour ended and we were returning to the harbor, one of the guides pointed out a whale, and when we looked in that direction, we saw a humpback whale spouting water and could clearly see its small tail.

Experiencing such a wonderful day on the Big Island has truly become the best memory. The dolphins are incredibly cute, and the guide was fantastic. I would love to participate again next time and highly recommend it to everyone.

Thank you so much!

初めてのハワイ島で旦那と２人で参加しました。

この日は本当にラッキーでイルカと泳ぐ前にマンタが３匹いて観る事ができました。
その後イルカにも出会いその日はたまたま機嫌が良く凄くたくさん鳴き声が聞こえてたくさんのイルカにも出会う事ができました。
ガイドの大輔さんも一生懸命皆さんをイルカの居る方に誘導して頂いて間近で観る事ができて感動しました。イルカも彼の近くをぐるぐる回って遊んでいました。

この日は天気も良くマウイ島やマウナケアも観れました。
そしてツアーが終了して港に帰っていると、ガイドの１人がクジラっと言って指差した方角を観ているとザトウクジラが潮を吹いてクジラの小尾までしっかりと見れました。

こんな素敵な日をハワイ島で経験する事ができて本当に最高の思い出になりました。イルカもめっちゃかわいいですし、ガイドさんも最高でした。
また次回も参加したいと思いますし、皆様にもおすすめです。

本当にありがとう

It was a participation of two women. Our goal was to float in the sea and relax all day while getting a tan, so this plan with transportation and lunch was just perfect. The pizza for lunch was also delicious. The sea was incredibly beautiful.

女子2人での参加でした。
海に浮かんでゆっくりのんびりして一日中、日焼けするのが目的でしたので送迎＆ランチ付きのこのプランはちょうど良かったです。
ランチのピザも美味しかったです。
海は最高に綺麗でした。

Capt Mike and his deckhand Travis were awesome. We saw plenty of sea turtles and a baby dolphin even did a flip for us! The sailing after the snorkeling was so relaxing as we cruised by diamond head. It's like an adventure that comes from a movie. The catamaran was big and comfortable. I miss Hawaii just reminiscing on this adventure. This is a must go cruise and snorkel trip.

You can experience the strange situation of walking in the sea surrounded by water. The sea, reflecting the sunlight, looked even more beautiful. You can also meet sea turtles!!

まわりが海のなかを歩くという不思議な状況が体験できます。海が太陽の光を受けてきれいな海がさらにきれいに見えました。ウミガメにも会えます！！

It was great to see the sea turtles up close.

ウミガメがとても近くで見れてとてもよかったです。

I participated on November 22nd and was very nervous at first, but I had a great time!! I was able to spend the best honeymoon on my trip.

The guide, Daisuke, explained everything very thoroughly, and even as a beginner, I was taken to the point where I could touch the dolphins, so I think everyone can participate with peace of mind. I was really moved when Daisuke dove in and played with the dolphins; it felt like he was communicating with them and interacting like friends.

I will definitely participate again when I come back to the Big Island, and I highly recommend it to everyone.

My husband and I truly can't forget yesterday's experience!! Thank you for such a wonderful, dream-like time.

11月２２日に参加して最初はとても緊張していましたが、とても楽しめました！！新婚旅行で最高のハネムーンを過ごせる事ができました。

ガイドのダイスケさんもとても丁寧に説明をして頂き初心者の私もイルカのいるポイントまで引っ張って頂いて触れる距離まで案内してくれるので、皆さんも安心して参加ができると思います。
ダイスケさんが潜ってイルカと遊んでいたのには感動して本当にコミュニケーションがとれていて友達みたいに接していたのには感動しました。

またハワイ島に来る時には絶対に参加しますし皆様にも凄くおすすめできます。

本当に主人も私も昨日の事が忘れれません！！
ほんとうに素晴らしい夢みたいな時間ありがとう。

The timing is very important as it greatly relates to the tides. I wanted to walk on a sandbar like in the photo, but when I went, the shallowest part was only about ankle-deep.

When I went snorkeling, a turtle suddenly appeared right at our feet, and my excitement shot up!

After snorkeling, the boat took us around to where the turtles were. I was really happy when I saw multiple turtle heads popping up from the waves. While we were doing that, the sun came out, and we enjoyed a very pleasant cruise.

I would like to participate again at the right time.

潮の満ち引きが大いに関係するので、タイミングがとっても重要です。写真のようなサンドバーを歩いてみたかったけど、私がいったときは一番浅いところでくるぶしくらいの深さでした。

シュノ-ケリングをしたとき、いつの間にかカメが私たちの足元にいるという感じで出現。テンションが一気に上がりました！

シュノ-ケリングのあと船でカメがいるところを回ってくれました。カメの頭が波間から複数みえたときはとてもうれしかったです。そうこうしているうちに、晴れ間がでてきてとても気持ちの良いクルーズを楽しめました。　

また時期を見計らって参加したいです。

It is often featured in guidebooks, and I had always wanted to visit it when I went to Hawaii. There were some waves, but I was able to see the clear ocean. There were also several sea turtles popping their heads out of the water, which was adorable. Walking in the ocean felt really nice. There was nothing but the sea around, and the scenery was wonderful. The food was delicious, and I felt safe snorkeling for the first time with the guides watching over us. I'm really glad I participated. It was so much fun!

ガイドブックによく掲載されていて、ハワイに行ったら絶対行きたいと思っていました。
少し波がありましたが、透き通った海を見ることができました。ウミガメも何匹も海から顔を出していたのでかわいかったです。
海の中を歩く感じですごく気持ちよかったです。周りには海しかなく、景色もすばらしかったです☆
料理もおいしかったし、初めてのシュノーケリングはガイドさんたちにしっかり見守られながらだったので安心してできました。
参加して本当によかったです。すごく楽しかったです♪

I have swum with dolphins many times, but this tour is exceptional. The process of getting to the point by boat is thrilling and feels like a little attraction, unlike a regular boat ride. Since they know the spots where dolphins appear, the boat speeds ahead to drop us off at the point before the dolphins arrive, so even just floating, the dolphins come towards you. Sometimes they get so close that it takes your breath away. Of course, for those who are good swimmers, you can dive in and swim alongside the dolphins!

If you get tired along the way, they lend you noodles, and there are multiple opportunities to dive, so you can enjoy watching everyone swim from the boat or see the dolphins jump, all at your own pace. If there are only one or two chances, you might feel pressured to push yourself even if you're tired...

Because Mr. Nawata is very friendly and knows how to have fun, he tries to accommodate requests as much as possible. If you're going to participate in the future, please feel free to ask questions and make requests actively!

イルカとは何度も泳いだことがありますが、このツアーは格別。ボートでポイントまで行く過程もスピード感があり船とは違ってちょっとしたアトラクション。イルカの現れるポイントを知り尽くしているため、イルカより先に先にとボートを走らせポイントに落としてくれるので、ただ浮かんでいるだけでも、イルカが向かってきます。近すぎて思わず、ドキッとすることも・・。もちろん、泳ぎが得意な人は、ダイブしてイルカと伴走することも！！
途中疲れたらヌードルを貸してくれたり、何度もダイブのチャンスがあるので、ボートの上でみんなが泳ぐのを見たり、イルカがジャンプするのを見たりと、自分のペースで楽しめるのも魅力的。チャンスが1回や２回のところだと、思わずきつくても無理してしまいがちですが・・
とても気さくで、楽しみ方を知っている縄田さんだから、リクエストも出来る限り応えようとしてくれます。是非、これから参加される方は、あれこれ積極的に、質問、リクエストしてみて下さい。

The captain provided precise instructions based on years of experience and intuition, and Daisuke took us close to the dolphins, allowing us to encounter over 150 dolphins with excellent teamwork! Not only did we get to see them, but they also created bubble rings and swam around me, playing a lot! I received so much energy from this experience! The two staff members were very friendly and reliable, and they responded flexibly and generously, which made me feel very at ease. Next time, I definitely want to bring an underwater camera!

キャプテンが長年の経験と勘に基づく的確な指示をくれて、だいすけさんが近くまで連れてってくれる、抜群の連携で１５０頭はゆうに超えるイルカと出逢えました！
見れるだけではなくバブルリングを出してくれたり私の周りをぐるぐる回ってくれたりといっぱい遊んでくれました！！！とてもパワーを貰えました！
スタッフの２人はとても気さくで頼り甲斐もあり、とても柔軟に気前よく対応してくれたため、とても安心でした。
次は水中カメラを絶対に持って行きたいと思います！

This was my eighth trip to Hawaii, but it was my first experience at the sandbar. The knee-deep water in the middle of the ocean was very mysterious, and the contrast between the sand and the sea was beautiful. When we went, it was not the season for the sand to be exposed, but I would like to visit again during low tide. I thought the staff was friendly and their service was good, but I wish they would refrain from smoking at the sandbar. Even though there are no legal restrictions, I wonder why anyone would smoke in such a beautiful natural place. There were even comments encouraging smoking among participants, and I saw people walking around the sandbar with cigarettes in their mouths. It was uncomfortable on the water.

ハワイは８回目でしたがサンドバーは初体験でした。
海の真ん中で膝下の水位はとても不思議で砂と海のコントラストがとてもきれいでした。
私たちが行ったときは砂浜は出ない時期でしたが今度は干潮の時に行ってみたいです。
スタッフの方はフレンドリーで対応等は良かったと思いますが
サンドバーでわざわざタバコを吸うのはやめてほしいです。
法律での規制がないとはいえ、なぜあのような自然の綺麗な場所で喫煙するのか？です・・・参加者にも喫煙をあおる発言をしていて実際咥え煙草でサンドバーを歩いてる人もいました。
海の上で不快でした。

I had a great time!!!! It was excellent. The crew was patient, hospitable, informative and comical! I will definitely come back if I go to Hawaii again!!

I was able to see dolphins for the first time on this tour, but I felt a few things were complicated. First, there was almost no explanation on how to use the snorkel and fins, and during the actual event, we didn't have any practice before getting into the dolphin zone from the boat in the deep sea. Additionally, my husband's snorkel was attached the wrong way, causing seawater to flow back into the tube when he put his face in the water, making it very difficult for him to breathe and quite stressful. When we returned to the boat to ask questions, we didn't receive a solid response, so we had to figure out the cause and deal with it ourselves. We had mentioned that it was our first time, and everyone around us was inexperienced as well, so I felt that without a more careful approach, it wouldn't be surprising if an accident occurred someday. With 12 customers to one staff member and the captain, it didn't feel like a small group, and I was disappointed by the lack of attentive service.

Also, we participated without having breakfast, but we didn't receive the light snacks (like snacks) that were mentioned in the tour details; we only got one can of juice to share. Furthermore, at the location where the dolphins were, we didn't see any tropical fish or other marine life. Since it was just deep sea, I thought it would have been better to join another tour that mentioned stopping at a coral reef snorkeling spot on the way back.

While I did get to see the dolphins and had some fun, if I had the chance to go again, I wouldn't sign up for this tour... I would prefer to join a different dolphin tour.

ツアーに参加して始めてイルカを見ることが出来ましたが、何点か複雑に感じました。まず、シュノーケルやフィンの使い方の説明がほとんどと言っていいほどなかった上、本番、深い海で、船からイルカゾーンに降りるまで、一度も練習のようなものもしないということです。また、それだけでなく旦那さんのシュノーケルの筒❓が左右逆に取り付けられており、海に顔をつけると筒から海水が逆流してきて息が出来ずにとても焦りました。船に戻って質問してもあまりしっかりと応じてもらえず、自分たちで原因を考えて対処しました。初めてということは伝えてありましたし、周りの方も経験がない方ばかりだったのに、もう少し丁寧な対応がなければいつか事故が起きても不思議ではないと感じました。お客さん12人に1人のスタッフと船長で、あまり少人数制とも感じませんでしたし、きめ細やかな対応はなく、残念に感じました。
また、朝ごはんも食べずに参加しましたが、ツアー内容に記載されていたような軽食（スナックなど）はもらえず、缶ジュースを二人で一本もらえただけでした。
また、イルカのいる場所では熱帯魚や他の海の生物は見られませんでした。深い海が広がるだけなので、サンゴ礁のシュノーケルスポットに帰りに立ちよってもらえるとあった、別のツアーのほうに参加すれば良かったなと感じました。
イルカは見られましたし、楽しませてもらえましたが、もしもう一度いけるならこのツアーには申し込みません。。。別のイルカツアーで参加したいです。

I've been on a few excursions. . .all have been fun, but this was my favorite. I highly recommend it! The staff was great fun and very knowledgeable. We saw so many dolphins, a sea turtle, and a sting ray. We were able to snorkel along side and enjoy! It was a bonus they had a photographer on board that took underwater pictures so we have our memories in pictures of all we enjoyed that day. You won't be disappointed!!

I was skeptical about whether I could really see wild dolphins, but I was moved to see them for sure! I was asked about wearing a wetsuit, but since none of the other participants raised their hands, our group also participated without suits. However, the seawater was colder than I expected, and it was very chilly with the wind when we got back on the boat. I recommend participating with a wetsuit.

　本当に野生のイルカなんて見れるの？と、半信半疑で参加しましたが、ちゃんと見れて感動しました!!
　ウェットスーツの着用を聞かれましたが、他の参加者が誰ひとり手を挙げなかったので、我グループもスーツ無しで参加しました。が、海水も思った以上に冷たく、船に上がったときの風でとても寒かったです。ウェットスーツを着用して参加することをお勧めします。

My husband, 7 month old son, and I had a great experience with this activity during snorkeling and snuba. We got lucky, and one of the guest/crew members watched our son (who mostly slept) so we had the opportunity to both go together for the snorkeling and snuba. The catamaran we took was a great ship. The crew was very accommodating, nice, funny, and took care of everyone, including a woman who lost her camera in the water, and when my hubby got a little overwhelmed in the beginning during snuba. The food was okay, but definitely helped after a good amount of time time in the water. I would defintely do it again. The great crew actually made a huge difference too!

Due to my schedule, I couldn't participate for long and joined the morning session. I only caught a glimpse of the sea turtles from the boat, but I was impressed by the beauty of the sandbar! When getting off the boat, the water was up to my stomach, and in the shallow areas, it was up to my knees. I'm so glad I bought a waterproof camera!

The weather was a bit gloomy during the cruise, with some light rain, but we were able to see a rainbow, and by the time we arrived, it was sunny! It must be even more sparkling and beautiful on a clear day.

Since I was at the back during snorkeling, the visibility was poor, but I really wanted to go to the sandbar, so I was happy about that. The early finish allowed me to spend the afternoon meaningfully. The warm tea and sandwiches served on the way back were delicious!

I hope I can take my time a bit more next time.

スケジュールの関係であまりゆっくりのには参加できず、午前の部に参加しました。
海亀は船上からちらっと見る程度でしたがサンドバーの綺麗さに感動☆ボートから下りるときはおなかくらい、浅いところでもひざ上まで浸かりました。張り切って防水のカメラを買ってよかった～♪
天気も、クルーズ中はどんよりとしてパラパラ振ったりしましたが虹も見れたし到着するころには晴れたし☆快晴だともっときらきらして綺麗なんでしょうね。
シュノーケルは後ろの方だったので濁ってあまり見れませんでしたが、サンドバーは絶対行きたいとこだったのでよかったです。早めに終わるので午後からも有意義に過ごせました。
帰りに出された温かいお茶とサンドイッチもおいしかったです☆
次はもう少しゆっくりできるといいなぁ。

Thank you for allowing me to participate in the tour. I was satisfied to meet the dolphins and also saw sea turtles. It wasn't as cold as I thought it would be, and it became a great memory. Thank you!

この度はツアーに参加させていただきありがとうございました。イルカにも会えて満足です。ウミガメにも会えました。思ったよりも寒くなかったですし良い思い出になりました。ありがとうございました！

I participated with my mother, who cannot swim. Thanks to the support from the captain and Daisuke, who helped my mother overcome her fear, I was able to enjoy myself to the fullest. Although my mother gave up snorkeling after a little while, she was able to see the dolphins underwater, and she was very satisfied watching the dolphins jump and seeing large groups of dolphins from the boat, while feeling the beautiful sea and breeze.

I saw dolphins playing with jellyfish, and when I thought one had stopped right below me, it created a bubble ring! There were dolphins coming towards us and suddenly appearing from behind... it was a dolphin paradise!

It was a very satisfying half-day, from cruising to swimming. Next time, I want to improve my free diving skills so I can play together with my mother and participate again!

泳げない母と参加しました。恐怖心がある母をキャプテンとダイスケさんがサポートしてくれたおかげで私は思う存分たのしめました。スノーケルは少しで断念した母ですが、水中のイルカもちゃんとみれて、イルカのエガチャンジャンプや多くのイルカの群れを船上でみたり、きれいな海と風を感じでとても満足しておりました。
私は、クラゲと遊ぶイルカをみたり、真下で止まった？？？とおもったらバブルリングをつくってくれたイルカがいたり。。。向かってくるイルカや背面からいきなり現れるイルカもいたり。。。そこはイルカ天国でした！
クルージングからスイミングまで大満足の半日でした。
今度は素潜りがうまくできるようになっていっしょに遊べるようになってまた参加したいとおもいます！

I participated with the expectation of meeting dolphins and possibly swimming with them. However, it seems to be a rare case, but I didn't see any dolphins at all, and there weren't many turtles or fish either, which was disappointing. The staff were all very friendly, and the atmosphere was good, but I was really let down that I couldn't see the dolphins, which I was looking forward to the most. It's understandable since it's nature, but...

イルカに会える、しかも一緒に泳げるかもしれない、と、期待して参加しました。ところが、まれなケースみたいですが、全くイルカには会えず、亀や、魚も目立つようには居なかったり、残念でした。
スタッフは、楽しい方ばかりで、雰囲気は良かったんですが、一番楽しみにしていた、イルカを見ることも出来なかったのは、本当にがっかりでした。自然相手ですから、当たり前なんですが・・・
