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>

This is the best activity!! これぞ 一番のアクテイビテイ!!

Reviewed by: しげ じいちゃん 

We participated as a group of ten across three generations. I was impressed by how well the beautiful environment was maintained! After a thorough training session, we all started snorkeling together. At first, my grandchildren struggled a bit, but the guides divided up and coached them. I was moved by how many beautiful fish were swimming nearby. The sight of tropical fish, large parrotfish, and many different sizes and types of fish swimming so close that they seemed to touch my body felt like a different world. I want to go again! Everyone in the group was singing, "I want to go again! I want to go! I want to go!" The coaches and guides were very kind. Thank you very much.

三世代10名で参加しました。
きれいな環境が維持されており感心したよ!
丁寧なトレイニングの後、みんなでシュノーケリングのスタート。
はじめは、孫たちがうまく対応できなかったが、ガイドの皆さんが手分けしてコーチしてくれました。
身近に、綺麗なお魚が沢山泳いでおり感動しました。
熱帯魚のような魚や、大きなブダイや沢山の種類の大小の魚が体に触れそうな近くに、泳いでいるさまは別世界を感じます。
もう一度行きたい!
参加の皆が、もう一度行きたい!行きたい!行きたい!と
合唱していました。
コーチ、ガイドさんとても親切でした。
有難うございました。

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>

First sea turtle 初の海がめ

Reviewed by: チエ&タカシ

The dreamlike Hanauma Bay that I had seen in books.
First, I was amazed by its beauty from above! The blue of the sea was different from Japan.
The staff member, Alan, spoke Japanese well and provided thorough explanations.
While observing many fish and coral reefs, we went to a recommended spot by the expert, and there, a sea turtle was swimming!!
It was a small turtle, but very cute, and I was able to swim alongside it.
Alan took us to a deeper area where others didn't go, allowing us to enjoy a different snorkeling experience.
Thank you very much.

本で見ていた憧れのハナウマ湾。
まず、上から見てその美しさにビックリ!海の青さが日本とは違いました。
スタッフのアランさんは日本語もうまく、丁寧に説明をしてくれます。
多くの魚達、さんご礁を見ながら達人のオススメスポットへ行くと、なんと海がめが泳いでおりました!!
小がめでしたがとてもかわいく、一緒に泳ぐことができました。
他の人が行かないような奥の方に連れて行ってくれたため、みんなとはまた違ったシュノーケリングを楽しむことができました。
ありがとうございました。

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>

Perfectly beautiful. 美しさ満点。

Reviewed by: ジョージ

We participated as a couple.
The memories of walking along the sandbar while gazing at the unbelievably beautiful sea and magnificent nature have become unforgettable.

The staff's response was also very good, and it was a safe and interesting tour.

During snorkeling, we were able to see many fish gathering around the coral. I think there were even more fish than at Hanauma Bay.

Fortunately, we were able to see a sea turtle. If we were luckier, we could have swum with it as well.

Additionally, the service was great, including the option to create a DVD with photos taken by a professional photographer (for an additional fee).

I felt a beauty different from Waikiki and the North Shore, and I think it was the best tour! I definitely recommend participating!

カップルで参加しました。
信じられないようなきれいな海で、
壮大な自然を眺めながら歩いたサンドバーの思い出は、
忘れられないものになりました。

スタッフの方の対応もとても良くて、
安全で、おもしろいツアーでした。

シュノーケリングでは、サンゴに集まるたくさんの魚を見ることができました。
魚の多さなら、ハナウマ湾よりも多かったと思います。

運よく海がめを見ることもできました。
もっと運がよければ一緒に泳げたりもするそうです。

また、プロのカメラマンさんがとった写真でDVDを作成してくれるなど(別料金)、サービスも良かったです。

ワイキキ、ノースショアとは違う美しさを感じることができて、
最高のツアーだと思います!
是非参加してみてください!

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>

I saw a sea turtle! 居ました!ウミガメ

Reviewed by: 一姫二太郎

I participated with my 5-year-old, 9-year-old, and 11-year-old children. I had confirmed the sizes of the fins with Alan in advance, but there were no sizes available for my 5-year-old. It seems there are no sizes below 20 centimeters. As a result, my 5-year-old had to swim and dive in a larger size. The activity lasted about 45 minutes, and we encountered many colorful fish and even saw a sea turtle, which was thrilling! I heard afterward that the divers woke the turtle up from its sleep. There are several spots where the turtles sleep. Even though it was only 45 minutes, it felt like we swam a lot, and by the end, I was exhausted. The diver took care of my 5-year-old the whole time, which was a great help. I don't think we could have gone to such a distant place on our own. For lunch, the voucher mentioned "light meals and snacks," so I thought we would get something like sandwiches and skipped breakfast, but all we received were snack foods and bottled water, which made me feel a bit unwell. It's better to have a light meal before participating. After diving, it was so cold that I was shivering, but sunbathing after taking a shower and changing was the best!

5歳、9歳、11歳の子供を連れての参加でした。フィン等のサイズ、事前にAlanに確認はしていたのですが、5歳の子供に合うサイズがありませんでした。20センチ以下のサイズはないそうです。その為5歳の子供は、大きいサイズで泳ぎ、潜る事になりました。約45分程の行程でしたが、沢山の色とりどりの魚に会え、また、ウミガメにも遭遇し、感激♪沖に上がって聞いたのですが、ウミガメは、ダイバーの方が、寝ているのを起こしてくれたそうです。何箇所かウミガメの眠っている箇所があるそうです。45分と言っても、随分泳いだ気分になりましたし、最後は疲れてヘトヘトでした。5歳の子供は、ずっとダイバーの方が世話をしてくださり、助かりました。家族だけでは、遠い場所へは行けなかったと思います。昼は“軽食、スナック”とバウチャーにあったので、サンドウィッチくらいが出るのかと思って、昼食を抜いての参加でしたが、出たのはスナック菓子とペットボトルの水のみでしたので、少し気分が悪くなりました。参加の前には軽く食事をした方がいいです。潜り終えた後は、寒くて震える程でしたが、シャワーして着替えた後の日光浴は最高でした。

The waves were great. 波が良かったです

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I spent a meaningful time from the morning until early afternoon. The weather was somewhat cloudy, so both the water temperature and the wind were a bit chilly.

I participated last October, and I think it's better to bring a long-sleeved jacket when it's cloudy.

There were quite a few waves, and I enjoyed bodyboarding. The staff provided thorough explanations, and lunch was included, so I was very satisfied.

午前中から昼過ぎまでの時間でしたが、有意義に過ごせました。天候は曇り気味だったので、水温・風共に若干冷たかったです。

去年の10月に参加しましたが、曇っている時は上着の長袖を持っていったほうがいいと思います。

波がけっこうあって、ボディーボードを楽しみました。

サンドバー天使の海 シュノーケリング&ウミガメウォッチクルーズ 船上のBBQグリルで焼くハンバーガーランチ付き!<午前/日本語クルー>

It was like a different world!! 別世界でした!!

Reviewed by: ふうたん

We participated as a couple. I had been curious about the sandbar for a long time, and when I found it through a campaign this time, I made a reservation without hesitation. There were quite a few people participating, and we departed from the Kaneohe Bay harbor on two boats. While circling the beautiful sea where we could see the mountains of Kualoa and Chinaman's Hat, we spotted wild sea turtles from the boat. I had imagined the sandbar would be close to the land, but in reality, it suddenly exists in the middle of the ocean, quite far from the shore, surrounded by nothing, and it was more beautiful than I had expected, like a different world! The sea and sand were beautiful, resembling a private beach, and although the time was short, it was a precious experience. We went snorkeling, but there were hardly any fish. A group of older men and women who were on the same boat seemed to be looking forward to playing on the sandbar, but the distance from where the boat stopped to the sandy beach was close, yet the depth was not shallow enough to walk in with clothes on, so they ended up waiting on the boat while everyone else played, which was quite unfortunate. However, the wonderful experience that can only be had here is something I highly recommend! The water is shallow, so it's also recommended for children!

夫婦で参加しました。以前からサンドバーがずっと気になってましたが、今回キャンペーンで見つけ迷わず予約しました。かなり沢山の方が参加していて、カネオへ湾の港から2艘の船で出発しました。クアロアの山々やチャイナマンズハットが見える綺麗な海をぐるっと周りながら、途中野生のウミガメを船の上から見ました。サンドバーは、陸から近い所にあるのを想像してましたが、実際は陸からだいぶ離れた周りに何も無い海の真ん中に突如存在し、そこだけ別世界の様で思っていた以上に綺麗でした!!海も砂も美しくプライベートビーチの様で、時間は短めでしたが貴重な体験が出来ました。シュノーケリングをしましたが、魚はほとんどいませんでした。同じ船に乗ってきた年配の男女数名のグループの方たちが、海には入れないがサンドバーに降りて遊ぶのを楽しみにしてたみたいですが、船が停まった場所から砂浜までの距離が、近いけれど深さが洋服のまま行ける深さでは無く結局サンドバーに降りれずにみんなが遊んでる間船の上で待っていたのがとても可哀想でした。でもここでしか味わえない素晴らしさなので、ぜひ参加して欲しいです!海も浅いので子供さんにもオススメですよ!

We participated as two women.
We were the only Japanese participants, and although we couldn't speak Japanese, the staff's thoughtfulness and cheerfulness made us feel completely at ease and allowed us to enjoy ourselves.

The cruise to the snorkeling point offered a view of the Big Island from the sea, allowing us to see a different side of Hawaii. We were lucky enough to encounter a pod of dolphins!

The snorkeling experience was incredibly satisfying with the beautiful Hawaiian sea and fish! Even those who are not confident swimmers can borrow floatation devices, so there’s no need to worry.

For lunch, the staff treated us to homemade hamburgers. There were also desserts like brownies! Everything was very delicious. They took us to two snorkeling points, and we were very satisfied both in our stomachs and hearts!

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>

It was fun!! 楽しかった!!

Reviewed by: コムたん

I participated with my two sons (middle schoolers). The only other participants were a foreign couple. The driver and instructor was fluent in Japanese and very kind.

We were able to smoothly ride the trolley from the parking lot to the beach without waiting at the entrance or for movie admission.

Having never snorkeled before and lacking confidence in swimming, I initially thought I would let my sons participate while I stayed in shallow water. However, the instructor took my hand and guided me through the waves, pushing me out to deeper water. Thanks to him, I was able to see colorful fish, schools of fish, and turtles right in front of me, which was incredibly exciting.

Since my sons and the foreign couple were also beginners, the instructor wrapped things up early. My son seemed to want to do more, but I felt it would be rude to request more time since I was monopolizing the instructor.

But overall, it was a lot of fun.

私(40代・女性)と息子達2人(中学生)と参加しました。あとは外人のカップルでした。ドライバー兼インストラクターの達人は日本語が流暢で、とても優しい方でした。
駐車場から浜辺までの坂道を走るトロリーの乗車も、入り口や映画の入場も待たずにスイスイ行けました。
シュノーケリングをしたことがない上、泳ぎに自信のない私は、息子達だけ参加させて 自分は浅い所でチャプチャプやっていようと思っていたのですが、達人が私と手をつなぎ、波の高い所では身体をグイグイ押して沖まで連れて行ってくれました。おかげで色とりどりの魚、魚群、亀を目の前に見る事が出来、大変感激しました。
私以外の息子達や外人カップルも初心者だった為か、達人が早めに切り上げ、終了となりました。息子はもっとやりたかったようですが、私が達人を独占していたので そんなリクエストをするのは申し訳なく思え、言えませんでした。
でも、とても楽しかったです。

My family is still talking about the exceptional, exciting, fantastic trip that we took to Niihau. The snorkeling was the best that we have ever seen- clear blue water, lots of fish and plenty of time to snorkel. The colors of the water were incomparable- sapphire blue, azure, teal,aquamarine and garnet green-spectacular. The service and the crew were great- they really knew all about the islands and they were experts on snorkeling.

Enjoying the ocean of Hawaii Island!! ハワイ島の海を満喫!!

Reviewed by: かえるぴょん

The parking lot designated from the Hilton Hotel where we stayed was quite a distance away, but the traffic flowed smoothly, and we arrived without getting lost and with plenty of time to spare. After checking in at the counter, we enjoyed some delicious coffee that was prepared while we waited for departure.

Once we set sail, we moved along the blue sea (at quite a speed!) next to the lava fields. There were just over ten participants, and only two groups were Japanese, including us. When we arrived at the spot, the guide explained the swimming area, and everyone entered the water at their leisure.

My English is at a middle school level, but the guide explained things with gestures, so there were no problems. It was my first time snorkeling, and although I was a bit scared in the very clear water, I quickly became captivated by the colorful, beautiful fish, and time flew by.

After swimming at two spots, we enjoyed BBQ hamburgers grilled on the boat, which left us both satisfied in our stomachs and hearts. We also visited several sightseeing spots and took lots of photos. The restroom on the boat was spacious and clean, making it easy to change into our swimsuits, which I personally appreciated. This is a great tour where you can see various aspects of the Big Island in just a few hours. I would love to participate again when I go back to Hawaii!

 私達が宿泊していたヒルトンホテルから指定の駐車場まではかなり距離がありましたが、車は順調に流れ、迷わず余裕持って着くことができました。
カウンターで受付を済ませ、出航まで準備されていたおいしいコーヒーを飲んで待っていました。
出航すると溶岩大地と並走するように碧い海を(結構なスピードで!)進んで行きました。参加者は10人ちょっとくらいで、日本人は私達入れて2組だけでした。スポットに着くと添乗員が泳ぐ範囲などの説明をして、各々好きな時に海に入って行きました。
私の英語は中学生レベルですが、添乗員の方がジェスチャーを交えて説明してくれたので問題ありませんでした。
初めてのシュノーケルで、しかもかなり透明感が高い海で怖さも少しありましたが、すぐに色とりどりの綺麗な魚に見入ってあっという間に時間は過ぎていきました。
2ヶ所のスポットで泳いだ後に船上で焼いたBBQのハンバーガーを頂き、お腹も心も大満足でした。
観光スポットにもいくつか回り、写真もたくさん撮れました。船上のトイレは広くて清潔感があり、水着の着替えをしやすかったのが個人的には嬉しかったです。数時間でいろいろなハワイ島の姿が見られるお得なツアーです。またハワイに行ったら参加したいです!!

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>

If you want to see fish at Hanauma Bay, this is the place. ハナウマ湾で魚を見たいならココ

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

Compared to other Hanauma Bay tours, the price is set higher, but I believe the satisfaction level will be high. They go to offshore points that others don't visit, so the density of fish is different! I think the only comparable experience is a beginner diving tour (where you generally see fish in the same areas).

You can also see sea turtles and encounter large fish like parrotfish. You’ll get to see schools of fish as well. The guide, Alan, speaks Japanese fluently.

We participated as a couple, and there were two foreign siblings joining us. My wife cannot swim at all. It was her second time snorkeling, but she was quite worried as she wasn't used to the equipment. I thought it was reckless to participate since she might panic if water got into her gear, but she wore a life jacket, so it seems she managed to enjoy it safely.

However, it could be dangerous depending on the participants. In our case, a foreign child panicked, and the guide went to help. My wife was left alone and panicked as well. I helped her, but at that moment, I thought it was quite serious.

After that, we decided to return to the shore earlier than planned. The current in the bay is quite strong. Even those who cannot swim at all can enjoy it with Alan's support, but it's better to be cautious when there are multiple people.

他のハナウマ湾ツアーと比べると高い料金設定ですが、きっと満足度は高いと思います。他の人が行かない沖のポイントまで行くので魚の密度が違う! このツアーに匹敵するのは体験ダイビングのツアーだけだと思います。(大体同じところで魚を見ます)
海亀も見れます。ブダイ系の大型の魚にも会えます。魚群にも会えます。
ガイドのアランは日本語は流暢に話せます。
私たちは夫婦で参加しました。他に外国の兄弟が2名参加でした。嫁は全く泳げません。シュノーケリングは2回目でしたが機材に慣れていなくてかなり心配でした。機材に水が入ったりするとパニックになるので参加は無謀と思いましたがライフジャケットを着るので無事に楽しめたようです。
ただ、ツアー参加者によっては危険かもしれません。私たちの場合、外国の方の子供がパニックになりガイドが助けに行きました。嫁が放置されてこちらもパニック。私が助けましたがこのときはさすがにヤバイと思いました。
このあと予定を繰り上げて浜に戻りました。
湾内の流れは結構速いです。全く泳げない人でもアランがサポートしますので楽しめますが複数居るときは注意した方がいいでしょう。

ハワイ島 シュノーケルクルーズ SUP体験もできる充実ツアー!貸し切りプランあり<午前/朝食・昼食付き> by フラカイ号

Enjoy the natural beauty of the ocean on the Big Island of Hawaii! ハワイ島の海の自然を満喫!

Reviewed by: DEXTE-K

Since it was a trip using a rental car, I had no trouble with transportation or exploring places. However, the meeting point at Keauhou Bay is located deep down a road, so it's advisable for first-timers to check a map in advance.

As for the English tour, there was absolutely no need to worry, as everyone pointed out. All the staff were friendly and spoke slowly and clearly, making it easy for me, who isn't very good at English, to understand even the jokes. They prepared the snorkeling gear before we boarded, and then we set sail.

At the designated spots, we were able to swim freely over the coral reefs in two bays suitable for snorkeling. The water clarity was high, probably around 30 meters. I was able to see various tropical fish, including butterfly fish. I had hoped to encounter sea turtles based on prior information, but unfortunately, that dream didn't come true. However, I did have an encounter with a large octopus about a meter long.

For lunch, we enjoyed freshly made big hamburgers and fruits, and I relaxed on the deck while sunbathing. The waves were gentle, so I don't think there was much worry about seasickness. Additionally, there is an option for a diving tour, but even just snorkeling and skin diving were thoroughly enjoyable.

On the return cruise, we were guided past the Captain Cook monument and the coffee belt area of Kona, as well as the nearby Pu'uhonua o Honaunau National Historical Park, allowing us to enjoy a bit of sightseeing of the Big Island from the sea. The English during that time was at a natural speed, and I could only grasp the content vaguely. It might be good to prepare in advance.

Most impressively, we were able to encounter wild dolphins and even saw dolphin jumps. It became a beautiful and joyful memory.

This is a highly recommended tour where you can fully enjoy the nature of the Big Island. However, when the weather is nice, don't forget to take measures against UV rays.

レンタカーを用いての旅でしたので移動や場所の探索に困りませんでしたが、集合場所のケアホウ湾は道の奥まったところにあり、初めての方は事前に地図等でよく確認しておいたほうがよいでしょう。

また英語ツアーですが、皆さんがご指摘した通り全く心配ありませんでした。スタッフの方々すべてがフレンドリーで、丁寧な対応でゆっくりと話してくださったので、英語のあまり得意でない私にもジョークも含めてよくわかりました。シュノーケリンググッズを乗船前に準備していただき、いざ出航となります。

案内された目的地では、シュノーケリングに適した湾に2箇所ほどで思う存分サンゴ礁の上を泳ぐことができました。透明度も高く30mほどはあったと思います。バタフライフィッシュをはじめ熱帯地区特有の様々な魚を観る事ができました。事前情報から海亀と出会えることを期待してましたが、残念ながら夢かなわず…。しかしながら、1mほどの大きなタコと遭遇することができました。

ランチには焼きたてのビッグハンバーガーとフルーツをおいしくいただき、日光浴をデッキの上で楽しみました。穏やかな波でしたし、船酔いの心配も特にないと思います。また、オプションでダイビングも1本楽しめるツアーですが、シュノーケリングとスキンダイブだけでも存分に楽しめるツアーです。

クルージングの帰路では、キャプテンクックの記念碑やコナ地区のコーヒーベルト地帯とその近くのプウホヌア・オ・ホナウナウ国立歴史公園の案内があり、海からのちょっとしたハワイ島観光も楽しめました。そのときの英語はナチュラルスピードで、なんとなくでしか内容の説明はわかりませんでしたが…。あらかじめ予習しておくといいかも知れません。

そしてなんといっても印象的でしたのが、野生のイルカと出会うことができ、ドルフィンジャンプも見ることが出来たことです。綺麗な嬉しく楽しい思い出となりました。

これぞハワイ島という程に自然を満喫できるお勧めのツアーです。でも、天気がいいときは、紫外線対策を忘れないように…。

Kona Manta Ray Snorkel & Night Dive Tour at Keauhou Bay - Sea Paradise

an experience of a lifetime!

Reviewed by: ashley

This was an amazing experience to witness. You are probably five minutes off the shore by the sheraton resort and are left to swim with huge manta rays that swim right up next to you. It is a little scary at first but after the first few minutes you get used to it. The staff on the boat are very friendly and pretty humorous. You definitly get your moneys worth on this activity because you are in the water for about 45 minutes and they dont let you get in until a manta ray shows up so your time with the manta rays isnt wasted. The only bad things I have to say about this activity which was kind of a personal problem was that I got stung in the butt my something. It hurt pretty bad but the stinging went away in about a hour. I dont think anyone else had this problem though so I wouldnt be too worried about it. I would definitly sign up for this activity is I was you!

Snorkelling fun

We had fun, but we like to do our own thing also. The tour was great, but the group thing is not really to our taste. Thanks for a fun time though.

Hawaii Big Island Helicopter Tour – Volcanoes, Valleys & Waterfalls Flight

Like being on the moon

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

Our pilot was friendly, very personable with each one of us. I loved how he used our names as if we already had knowledge of what he was about to share with us. That was a fun way to learn. Amazing how large this volcano is!! Later in the day we drove from Hilo down to the area so we could touch the lava in person. Felt like we were on another planet. Lava and desolation for as far as we could see. Thanks for this experience. Blue Hawaiian Helicopters are the BEST!!! Awesome pilot and staff!!

Molokini Crater & Turtle Arches Snorkeling Tour & Snuba Dive - Aqua Adventures

Staff on boat was the best. I learned more than I ever did when I took scuba lessons years ago. Snuba and snorkeling were great, and we saw a pod of spinner dolphins swimming with our boat.
