All Reviews for Snorkeling Cruises & Tours

The weather was unfortunately bad on the day, so the photos turned out disappointing, but the staff's service was attentive and I had a great time! On the way to the sandbar, we moved slowly and were able to see sea turtles! The lunch we had on the boat was also very delicious, and above all, the staff were amazing!

当日はあいにくの天気でしたので、
写真は残念な感じでしたが、スタッフさんの対応が丁寧でとても楽しかったです！
サンドバーに向かう途中にゆっくり進み、海ガメを見ることもできました！
船で食べたランチもとてもおいしく、何よりスタッフさんが最高でした！

Unfortunately, it rained all day, it was cold, and the sandbar didn't appear, so I felt like I just did some snorkeling and went back. Due to my lack of experience, I rated it three stars. However, there was one interesting staff member who worked hard to keep things lively, so I didn't get bored on the boat. I can imagine it would have been fun if it had been sunny, warm, and the sandbar had appeared.

不運な事に終日雨が降っており、寒く、サンドバーも現れず、
シュノーケルだけやって帰ったという感じでしたので、
体験不足により評価不能という事で星三つにしてます。
ただ、面白いスタッフが一人いて、一生懸命盛り上げてくれたおかげでボートの中で飽きる事はありませんでした。
晴れてて、暖かく、サンドバーが現れていたら楽しかったんだろうなぁ、とは想像します。

I was able to see dolphins jumping nearby many times.
I also enjoyed snorkeling.
The guide knows some basic Japanese words, so there is no danger, but the announcements are in fluent English at a normal speed.

すぐ近くでジャンプするイルカに何度も会えました。
シュノーケルも楽しみました。
ガイドが日本語の単語は知っている（最低限）ので危険はありませんが、アナウンスは普通のスピードの流ちょうな英語です。

I was worried about whether I would be able to see the beautiful sandbar due to the cloudy weather, but by the time we arrived at the sandbar, the weather had cleared up! The sensation of stepping barefoot on the mysterious beach that appeared in the middle of the ocean was amazing! This tour focuses on experiencing the sandbar, so getting to that location is a priority. It was fun to see sea turtles and take photos along the way, but if I had to say something, I think the meals could be a bit more substantial. For example, having lunch on the sandbar would be great... (there may be regulations, though...), having just one sandwich on the boat feels a bit lacking. I'm looking forward to it!

あいにくの曇りの天候できれいなサンドバーに会えるか心配でしたが，サンドバーに到着するころには天候も回復！海のど真ん中に現れた不思議な砂浜を素足で踏みしめる感覚は最高でした！このツアーはサンドバーを体験することがメインなのでその場所に行くことを重視しています．途中ウミガメを見たり写真撮影は楽しかったですが，しいて言えば食事がもう少し充実していると良いと思います．例えばサンドバーの上でランチとか・・（規制があるのかもしれませんが・・），船上でサンドイッチ１枚はちょっとさびしいです．期待しています！

This was my eighth trip to Hawaii, and my first stay on Maui. I had high expectations for snorkeling at Molokini due to its renowned water quality, which is considered one of the best snorkeling spots.

While the water clarity was decent, I was somewhat disappointed by the lack of fish. The swimming area was also limited due to the presence of many other boats, which restricted movement to avoid collisions. Even after moving to a second location known for high sea turtle sightings, the situation with the fish remained unchanged. I was glad to see sea turtles, but overall, I felt it was lacking.

Based on experiences I read, I anticipated the water would be cold, so I rented a wetsuit for an additional $10. However, at the end of July, the water temperature was warm enough that a towel on the boat would have sufficed.

I participated with my family, but my wife still got seasick despite taking motion sickness medication, so I think it's important to be cautious if you're not feeling well or are sleep-deprived.

Since there are no other ways to participate in Molokini besides the tour, I recommend trying it at least once. However, you may realize that there are many better snorkeling spots accessible from the beach. In fact, on Maui, I had a great time encountering many fish and sea turtles at Honolua Bay.

The staff's service was excellent.

ハワイは8回目で、マウイ島は初めての滞在でした。モロキ二等でのシュノーケリングはかねてよりその水質の良さから、シュノーケルのベストポイントとかなり期待していました。
確かにそこそこ海の透明度は高いですが、肝心な魚が少なく、やや期待はずれでした。遊泳場所も他の船が多いので、交錯しないように限定されてしまいます。2箇所目の海亀出没率の高いところに移動しても魚の少ない状況は変わりませんでした。確かに海亀は見れたので良かったのですが、全体的に物足りなさを感じました。
また、こちらに体験談をもとに海中は寒いだろうと別途10ドル追加しウエットスーツを借りましたが、7月下旬ではそれも不要なぐらい海水温は高く、船上でタオルがあれば不用なぐらいでした。
家族で参加したのですが、妻は酔い止め薬を飲んでいても酔ってしまいましたので、寝不足など体調不良での参加時は注意が必要と思います。
モロキ二にはツアー以外参加方法がないので、一度は参加されることをお薦めしますが、体験されると、おそらくそれ以上のシュノーケルスポットがビーチエントリーでいくつもあることに気づきます。実際マウイ島では、ホノルア湾でたくさんの魚や海亀に出会え、楽しめました。
スタッフの対応は大変良かったです。

Hello, this is Miya.
On June 30th, I went on a snorkeling cruise to Kealakekua Bay on the Big Island (with breakfast and lunch included).
Five years ago, I went on an evening plan, so this was my second experience as I wanted to see the beautiful sea in the morning.
On the Fair Wind, I enjoyed a tour of the Big Island where Japanese was not spoken.
The weather was cloudy, but it was great because I could see well underwater without getting sunburned.
I particularly enjoyed the colorful tropical fish that gather in the shallow waters, and it was a great experience for families who are not strong swimmers, from a 4-year-old child to a 65-year-old lady.
Especially, the free rental of bodyboards to peek underwater was very popular.
The slide extending from the second floor feels high at first, but elementary school students can enjoy it without any problems.
I hesitated a bit at the diving board, but next time I want to dive in headfirst.
For meals, breakfast included bread and fruit, and for lunch, we had BBQ hamburgers cooked on the boat.
The hamburgers eaten in the beautiful sea were incredibly delicious.

こんにちは。miyaです。
6月30日に、ハワイ島　ケアラケクア湾へのシュノーケルクルーズ（朝食・昼食付き） に行ってきました。
5年前に行った時は、夕方のプランだったので、午前中の綺麗な海を見たく、2度目の体験です。
フェアウィンド号では、日本語が通じないというハワイ島のツアーを満喫出来ました。
天気は曇りでしたが、日焼けをしない中でも、水中は良く見えて良かったです。
特に浅瀬に集まる熱帯特有の色とりどりの魚を楽しむ事もでき、泳ぎが得意ではないファミリーや、4歳の子どもから、65歳のおばさんまで満喫出来ました。
特に、水中を覗けるボディーボードを無料でレンタル出来て好評でした。
2階席からのびている滑り台は、最初高さを感じますが、小学生ならば問題なく楽しめます。
飛び込み台は、少し躊躇してしまいますが、次回は頭から綺麗に飛び込みたいです。
食事は、朝食は、パンとフルーツ、昼食は、船の上で焼いたBBQは、ハンバーガーとして食べました。
綺麗な海で食べるハンバーガーは大変おいしかったです。

Staff was excellent!! Todd, Larry and ALL staff were extremely helpful & courteous. Highly recommend doing the Snuba, well worth the extra $. Larry got my wife and daughter-in-law underwater in a short time. Both were very hesitant at first and I had asked that they only try. The whole gig was GREAT!

This was my first trip to Hawaii since elementary school, and I thought, "I definitely want to swim with dolphins," so I decided to participate.

We gathered at a little after 6 AM, which made for an early wake-up call, but since we were able to make good use of our time after returning to Honolulu in the afternoon, I think it turned out well.

First, we went to Leonard's Bakery to eat malasadas. The warm malasadas were very delicious. They were like a donut without the filling.

I felt a bit seasick while heading out on the boat, but I was able to encounter dolphins safely. I was hoping to swim with them for a while, but wild dolphins move very quickly, and it felt like just a brief moment.

After arriving at the offshore point, it took some time to spot the dolphins, so we had to wait on the boat for a long time, which was tough on my seasick body.

I think it's best to bring motion sickness medication if you can!

After that, we also encountered sea turtles. I was really surprised to be able to swim so close to them and realized they weren't afraid of humans at all.

Although my encounter with the dolphins felt like just a fleeting moment, I was truly satisfied to swim with many dolphins and baby dolphins.

As others have mentioned in their reviews, the local staff were very cheerful and bright, and they had plenty of activities to entertain the participants, which really lifted my spirits.

I highly recommend this tour!

　
　小学生の時以来のハワイ旅行で、「ぜひイルカと泳いでみたいな。」と思い参加しました。

　朝は、６時すぎに集合するので、早起きはちょっと大変でしたが、午後ホノルルに戻ってからも時間が有効に使えたので、結果的には良かったかなと思います。

　まずは、レナーズベーカリーのマラサダを食べにお店に行きます。あたたかいマラサダはとても美味しかったです。
　あんドーナツの餡が入っていないようなものでした。

　船で沖に向かうのに若干船酔いをしてしまいましたが、イルカには無事に出遭うことができました。
「しばらく一緒に泳げるのかな」と期待していたのですが、自然のイルカは動きがとても速く、ほんの一瞬のことだったように思います。
　
　沖のポイントに着いてからも、イルカを探し当てるのに時間がかかるため、船上での待機の時間が長く、船酔い気味の体には堪えました。

　できたら酔い止めを持参した方が良いと思います！

　その後、ウミガメにも出遭えました。
　本当にそばで泳ぐことができ、「人間を恐れていないんだなー」とビックリしました。

　イルカとの出会いはほんの一瞬の出来事だったように思いますが、沢山のイルカと赤ちゃんイルカと泳ぐことができ、本当に大満足です。

　他の口コミで皆さん書かれているように、現地のスタッフの方もとても陽気で明るく、参加者を楽しませる企画が盛りだくさんで、元気をもらうことができました。

　オススメのツアーです！

Although we could see dolphins from the boat, they didn't appear much during snorkeling, which made me feel that swimming with wild dolphins really depends on luck. Since it was summer vacation, there were more than 30 participants. I thought it was a bit too crowded. As for those who are prone to seasickness, including myself, it seemed that no one got seasick even on a fairly rocky boat, possibly because they had taken medication.

船からはイルカがみえるのに、シュノーケリングのときには
なかなか現れないので野生のイルカと泳ぐのは運のなかとつくづく感じた。
夏休みということもあり、参加者が30人以上いた。
ちょっと詰めすぎではないかな
酔いやすい人は、わたしを含め薬を服用していたのか、かなり揺れる船でも酔っている人は、一人もいなかった。

I participated in this for the first time in Hawaii with a friend. I was really moved! I was worried because they mentioned beforehand that we might not see any wild dolphins, but I was able to meet more dolphins than I expected. It was such a great experience to swim so close to wild dolphins and turtles. My dream came true, and I was very satisfied. I could see the dolphins jumping up close, and I swam so near to the turtles that I was worried I might touch them.

The tropical fish were also very beautiful, and I took a lot of photos. It was lovely to release plumeria flowers into the sea from the boat while making a wish.

Leonard's malasadas and the cheeseburger I had on the boat were both delicious, and the staff were cheerful and fun. The ukulele and hula were great too. The scenery was wonderful, and I felt like I received a lot of positive energy.

It was tough to wake up early, but it was definitely worth it to join this tour. It became my most enjoyable memory of this trip to Hawaii.

I definitely want to participate again.

Thank you so very much!

初めてのハワイで友人と参加しました。
すごく感動しました！野生のイルカなので会えないこともあると事前にお話があり心配でしたが、予想以上にたくさんのイルカたちと会うことができました。あんな近くで野生のイルカや亀と泳げるなんて、とても良い経験ができました。夢が叶い大満足です。イルカのジャンプもまじかで見ることができ、亀も触ってしまうのではと心配になるくらいの近くで一緒に泳ぐことができました。

熱帯魚たちもとてもキレイで写真をたくさん撮りました。
プルメリアの花を船から海へお祈りしながら流すのも素敵でした。

レナーズのマラサダも、船の上で食べたチーズバーガーもとてもおいしくスタッフさん達も陽気で楽しいし、ウクレレやフラも良かったです。
また景色も素晴らしくたくさんのパワーをもらうことができたと思います。

朝が早くて大変ですが、早起きしてでも行く価値があるツアーでした。今回のハワイ滞在で一番楽しい思い出になりました。

必ずまた参加したいです。

本当に本当にありがとうございました。

On my first trip to Hawaii, I joined my friends. Waking up early was a bit challenging, but it was definitely worth it!

The first stop was Leonard's for malasadas, and even though it was early in the morning, there was a line, so it was clear it was a popular spot. The taste was, of course, delicious.

I heard on the bus to the harbor that we might not see wild dolphins, which made me a little anxious...

After arriving at the harbor, we boarded the boat and had a romantic experience of releasing a song and plumeria flowers into the sea to wish for a safe journey. It took about 30 minutes to reach the area where the dolphins were. (Make sure to take motion sickness medication.)

I was surprised that the captain and guide could tell where the dolphins were just by looking at the surface of the water.

We decided on a spot and headed into the sea! The water was, of course, beautiful! (It was the best sea I visited during my stay in Hawaii!) When the guide signaled, I peered into the seabed and was able to see many dolphins. While enjoying snorkeling, I spotted a dolphin swimming towards the surface, so I quickly waited at the surface and was able to see a dolphin jump up close. I was so excited that not only did I see the dolphins, but I also got to swim very close to a sea turtle, worrying that I might touch it!

We moved to another location where I could snorkel with beautiful tropical fish and sea turtles, and I was able to take many photos as memories.

After snorkeling, the snacks, cheeseburgers, and juice we had on the boat were exceptional. On the way back to the harbor, we enjoyed the guide's ukulele performance, live singing, and learned hula dancing, which made for a fun time.

One disappointing thing was that we couldn't kayak or stand-up paddle due to strong winds. Considering safety, it was understandable, so I look forward to trying it next time.

This trip became my most enjoyable memory during my stay in Hawaii. I will definitely participate again the next time I go to Hawaii.

Thank you so much to the captain and guide!

初めてのハワイ旅行、友人と参加しました。朝早いのは少し大変でしたが、早起きして絶対損はありません！！
まずはじめに立ち寄ったレナーズのマラサダは早朝にも関わらず行列ができていたので人気店なのはすぐにわかりました。味はもちろんおいしかったです。

港に着くまでのバスの中で野生のイルカなので会えないこともあると聞いたので少し不安になりましが・・・。

港到着後船に乗り込み、旅の安全を願ってうたとプルメイヤの花を海へ流すというロマンチックな体験もできました。約３０分でイルカ先生たちのいる場所へ。（酔い止めは必ず飲んだ方がいいです。）

船長さん、ガイドさんは水面を見ているだけでイルカのいる場所がわかるのにはびっくりしました。

スポットを決めいざ海へ！！海はもちろん綺麗です！（ハワイ滞在中の行った海で一番！！）ガイドさんの合図で海底を覗くとたくさんのイルカ先生たちに会うことができました。シュノーケルを楽しんでいるとイルカ先生が海面に向かって泳いでいるのを発見したのですぐに海面で待っているとドルフィンジャンプをまじかで見ることができ、興奮していると、イルカ先生だけではなくウミガメ先生を海面から顔を出してくれ触ってしまうのではと、心配になるくらいの近くで一緒に泳ぐことができました。

別の場所へ移動をし、綺麗な熱帯魚とウミガメ先生とシュノーケルができ、たくさんの写真を思い出に残すことができました。

シュノーケルが終わり、船で食べたスナック・チーズバーガー・ジュースは格別の味でした。港に帰る間はガイドさんたちのウクレレの演奏・生歌・フラダンスを教えていただき、楽しいひと時を過ごすことができました。

一つ残念だったことは、カヤック・スタンドアは風が強くてできなかったことです。安全面を考えたら仕方のないことですので、次回の楽しみにします。

今回ハワイ滞在で一番楽しい思い出になりました。次にハワイに行くときも必ず参加します。

船長さん・ガイドさん本当にありがとうございました。

My husband and I loved it. Never flew in a helicopter before. Exciting! Safety conscious pilot-Roger was great! Music in headphones enhanced the experience. Views of volcano were wonderful. Roger gave all occupants plenty of photo taking opportunities. This was one of our favorite activities on our trip to Hawaii.

It was amazing! I was also grateful that the pilot happened to be Japanese. While flying in the sky, he provided a thorough guide. I ended up sharing the ride with a Canadian family, and we enjoyed the English guide while sharing our excitement together.
One issue I encountered was when I arrived at the hotel and needed to make a call, but the person on the other end only spoke English. Since I hardly understand English, I ended up asking for help from the Japanese desk at the hotel, which resolved the situation.
The price is high, but it is well worth the experience. I recommend this tour for both couples and families.

最高でした！たまたま操縦士の方が日本人だったことも，ありがたかったです。上空を飛んでいるときには丁寧なガイドをしてくださいました。カナダ人の家族と同乗することになりましたが，英語のガイドも楽しみつつ，みんなで感動を分かち合いました。
困った点としては，現地でホテルに着いたときに連絡をするのですが，その電話先の方が英語しかわからなかったことです。私も英語はほとんどわからないので，結局ホテルにある日本語デスクの方に協力をお願いして事なきを得ました。
値段は高いですが，この感動には十分見合った金額です。カップルでもファミリーでもおすすめのツアーです。

After an hour on a swaying boat, I arrived at the point while enjoying the interactions with the other participants and the beautiful blue sky and sea, despite being prone to seasickness. With the gentle and fun guidance of Koichiro and Michi, we had a great encounter with the dolphins, and there were moments when they swam alongside us. Experiencing the graceful and charming movements of the dolphins brought me immense happiness.

揺れるボートで1時間、酔いやすい自分も参加されていた方々からとのふれあいと空と海の青さと輝きで楽しみながらポイントに到着。　幸一郎さん・みちちゃんのやさしく楽しいリードで、しっかりイルカちゃんたちと遭遇、一緒においでくれるところもありました。　いるかの優雅でご愛嬌の泳ぎに気持ちがとっても幸せになること享けあいです

This is the best snorkeling/SNUBA activity on Maui. Trilogy does a fantastic job and my wife and I had a great time on this activity. I highly recommend it to all! We will definitely do it again the next time we visit Maui.

I read alot of reviews prior to booking, and this excursion sounded the best...and in my opinion it is! The crew were wonderful - very knowledgable, friendly and helpful. I felt in capable hands the whole time, having never snorkelled with dolphins before. It was awesome, and we weren't rushed at all. I am looking forward to getting the professional photos from Ali. I have wonderful memories of this day and will definitely recommend this experience to others. I am sure that if I return to Oahu, I will definitely do this trip again!

It felt a bit chilly, perhaps due to the overcast sky, and we only walked or waded in the shallow water. It would have been nice to have more time to swim, but we only circled around the boat for a short while. I heard there were sea turtles in the distance, but I couldn't see them. It's a shame because the staff were friendly and left a good impression.

曇天のためか、肌寒く浅瀬を歩いたり浸かっただけという感じですね
せめて泳ぐ時間があればよいのですが、短時間だし船の周りをぐるぐる周っただけです
遠くにウミガメの頭がある（らしい）のですが見えませんでした
スタッフは気さくで印象がよかっただけに残念です

It was incredibly powerful. They come so close that they almost bump into you. They swoop right in front of you again and again! Four to five mantas came by repeatedly.

They come to eat the plankton gathered around the lights, and it was my first time consciously noticing the plankton itself, so it was very refreshing.

The meeting point is the office at the Kona Shopping Center. You check in there. There are no staff who speak Japanese. They didn't provide specific guidance on the wetsuits, but there was staff in the next room who lent them out. I participated in July, and I think it’s better to wear a wetsuit as the night sea can be a bit cold, especially for Japanese people who tend to feel cold more.

After borrowing the wetsuit, everyone moves to the harbor past the Sheraton. It’s easier if you have a rental car. If you ask the staff at the office, they can call a taxi for you. I considered taking a shuttle, but the timing didn’t work out.

Once we arrived at the harbor and boarded the boat, we enjoyed a cruise while watching the sunset, and when it got dark, we finally entered the sea to see the mantas. We held onto a pole and waited for the mantas to come to eat the plankton. After a while, one large manta, then two!! Four to five came by. We could see right into their mouths.

There are days when you might not see many, but we had mantas coming by repeatedly, and it was an impressive and wonderful experience. Everything was in English, but if you have courage, you can manage. It was just amazing.

すっごい迫力です。
体にぶつかるほど近くまで来ます。
べろ~んと目の前で何度も何度も旋回!
4~5枚のマンタが代わる代わる何度も来ました。

ライトに集まるプランクトンを食べに来るのですが、プランクトン自体も意識して見たのは初めてだったのでとても新鮮でした。

集合はコナショッピングセンターの事務所。
そこでチェックインします。
日本語を話せるスタッフはいません。
ウェットスーツの案内は特にしてくれませんでしたが隣の部屋にスタッフがいて、そこで貸してくれます。
7月に参加しましたが、夜の海は少し寒くウェットは着用するべきだと思います。
日本人は特に寒がりなので。

ウェットを借りたら、シェラトンの先にあるハーバーまで各自で移動します。
レンタカーがあると楽です。
事務所のスタッフに頼めばタクシーを呼んでくれます。
シャトルでの移動も考えましたが、時間が合いませんでした。

ハーバーに着き船に乗り込むと、夕陽を眺めながらのクルーズ、暗くなったらいよいよマンタを見に海へ入ります。
棒につかまりプランクトンを食べに来るマンタを待ちます。
しばらくすると、大きなマンタが1枚、2枚!!
4~5枚来ました。
口の中もバッチリ見ることが出来ました。

あまり観ることが出来ない日もあるようですが、私たちは何度もマンタがやってきて、迫力ある素晴らしい体験が出来ました。
すべて英語対応ですが、勇気があればなんとかなりそうです。
とにかくすごかったです。

This was my first time participating in Mr. Nawata's tour, but it was my second time on the dolphin tour in Hawaii Island. Since it was my second time, he tried to take us to a different northern point than last time, but unfortunately, we were informed that there were no dolphins in the north that day... so we moved back to the same southern area as before. However, I was really happy about his consideration.

During the first swim, dolphins were everywhere around me. No matter how many times I went in, there were dolphins all around. Dolphins to the right, dolphins to the left, dolphins in front, behind, and below. They even swam right in front of me on purpose, spinning around, and it felt like I jumped right into the pod! It was truly blissful to swim leisurely while looking into the dolphins' eyes. The ultimate healing experience. I also got to see manta rays swimming gracefully.

Such an exciting and fulfilling activity always feels fresh and brings new discoveries, no matter how many times you experience it. I am grateful for the great nature of Hawaii Island and for Mr. Nawata. Thank you very much.

縄田さんのツアーは初めて参加させていただきましたがハワイ島でのイルカツアーは2度目。
2回目ということで前回とは違う北のポイントに連れて行ってくれようとしてくれましたが、残念ながらその日北にはイルカがいないと連絡が…
以前と同じ南に移動。
しかし、その気持ちがとてもうれしかったです。

1回目のスイムから周り中イルカ。
何度入ってもイルカだらけ。
右にイルカ、左にイルカ、前も後ろも下もイルカ。
私の目の前をわざと横切ったり、くるくる回ってくれたり、群れの中に飛び込んじゃったみたい!
イルカの目を見ながらゆったりと泳げるなんて本当にしあわせ。
最高の癒しです。
ゆったり泳ぐマンタも見ることができました。

こんなにエキサイティングで心が満たされるアクティビティは何度体験しても新鮮で新しい発見があります。
ハワイ島の大自然と、縄田さんに感謝です。
ありがとうございました。

This was my first trip to Hawaii. I had a vague idea of what I wanted to do, but I hadn't made any specific plans, so I signed up for this tour. In the morning, we had malasadas for breakfast. I was very satisfied to be able to go to a store that was difficult to reach on foot. After boarding the boat, we all offered a prayer for Hawaii, and my spirits were lifted. I instantly felt the Hawaiian vibe. After that, we encountered dolphins and turtles one after another. It was amazing to not only see them but also to snorkel with them; it felt like a double treat. My companions also seemed very happy. I also challenged myself to try stand-up paddleboarding, which made me feel even more liberated. The cheeseburgers on the boat were homemade and very satisfying. Finally, we all participated in a hula dance. The atmosphere was lively, and everyone was smiling and having fun. I was very pleased with the staff's brightness and the way they incorporated music at key moments, which gradually got us more engaged despite our initial shyness. I highly recommend this tour!

初めてのハワイ旅行。漠然とやりたいことは、イメージしてましたが具体的には決めいなかった所、このツアーに申し込みました。朝は、マラサダで朝食。歩いてはいきづらい距離の店舗にいけて大満足。また、船に乗船後、まずはハワイの祈りを全員でささげ気持ちは高ぶるばかり。一気にハワイ気分に。その後、ドルフィン・タートルと立て続けに遭遇。見るだけではなく、一緒にシュノーケリングできるなんて、二度おいしいってかんじでした。同行者も幸せそうでしたよ。また、体験してみたかったスタンダップパドルにも挑戦。新しいことをしたことで更に開放的にななりましたよ。船上でのチーズバーガーも手作り感満載で満足です。最後は、全員でフラダンス。気持ちも盛り上がって、みんな笑顔で楽しかったです。スタッフの皆さんの明るさと要所要所に音楽をいれてくれて、遠慮がちな私たちもじょじょに盛り上がってくる演出に大満足です。オススメのツアーですよ。

I was able to see both dolphins and turtles! The sea was also very beautiful and it was the best!

イルカにも亀にもあえました！海もとっても綺麗で最高でした！

Recently, my family of three participated in this experience. My daughter is six years old and in her last year of kindergarten.

I was worried about whether my daughter would be able to swim with the dolphins, but the Hawaiian staff member stayed by her side the whole time and helped her swim with the dolphins. My worries disappeared, and we were able to participate with peace of mind. I hope my comment can help those who are considering participating with their children.

From the moment we saw the dolphins, our excitement skyrocketed! Many dolphins swam back and forth, and they came so close to us. It was incredibly healing. It was the best experience. I highly recommend it!

先日、家族３人で参加させていただきました。
娘は６歳で幼稚園の年長です。

娘がイルカと泳げるのか不安でしたが、ハワイアンスタッフの御兄さんが付きっきりで一緒に泳いでくださり、娘もイルカと泳ぐことができました。不安も吹き飛び、安心して参加することができました。子供との参加を迷ってる方のお役にたてればと思いコメントしました。


イルカを見た瞬間からテンションアップ↑↑
沢山のイルカが何度も往復してくれて、すごく近くで泳いでくれました。とても癒されました。最高です。お勧めです♪

The explanation at the start of the snorkeling was much more thorough and interesting this time compared to two years ago when it was simply about putting on the mask and being tapped on the back by the successful participants. They said things like, "I can't tell if you can swim just by asking. Please don't stay completely still while watching the fish. You need to move a little. If you feel it's too much at any point, please let me know." The staff, who had previously seemed very enthusiastic, were serious when they said, "Please let me know before you think you can't do it. Once you put on the mask, I will check, so please swim to me using the breaststroke. Remember to breathe." It made me realize that a lot must have happened in the past two years. I can imagine the effort it takes to ensure many people can enjoy themselves safely.

Additionally, they explained that when we returned to shore, we should watch our step when getting off, as falling between the boat and the dock could lead to serious injuries... I thought there must have been someone who fell and got hurt. Lastly, before getting on the bus, the group of women went to the restroom, but there were only two toilets in the parking lot, so it took quite a while for the last ones to wait. I thought that for the next tour, they might add a note saying, "There are only two toilets available after the boat arrives, so please use the restroom on the boat."

It was clear that they are making efforts and coming up with ideas to ensure everyone enjoys the tour safely. To sum up, the sandbar was beautiful, we had a relaxing time, we saw sea turtles from the boat, and there were even little baby turtles swimming near the boat at the sandbar. We were able to snorkel, the staff were fun, and it was a fulfilling tour. I would love to participate again. Oh, and the freshly made malasadas were delicious!

シュノーケル開始時の説明について、前回（2年前）は簡単にマスクをつけて浮いていると合格者は背中をポンと触ってくれるというものでした。が今回は、事前説明がすごく充実していて面白かったです。「『私泳げるでしょうか？』と聞かれても分かりません。魚を夢中で見てピクリとも動かないのはやめてください。少しは動いてください。途中で無理と思ったら教えて下さい」とか、それからそれまではやるぞーて感じのスタッフが神妙な顔で「無理と思う前に教えてください。マスクを付けたら確認しますので、平泳ぎで僕の所まで来てください。呼吸をしてください」と真剣に確認していたこと。きっと、この2年間の間に色々なことがあったんだなあと思いました。多くの人を安全に楽しませるためには苦労が多いことと思います。追加すると、帰り、岸に着いたら足元を見て岸に降りるようにと、船と岸壁の間に落ちると結構な怪我をすると説明がありました・・・きっと落ちて怪我をした人がいたんだなあと・・。最後にバスに乗る前にトイレに女性軍団が行ったんですが、駐車場のトイレは2つしかないので最後の方を待つまでだいぶ時間がかかりました。それで思いました。次回のツアーの説明には「船が付いてからのトイレは2つしかないので、船でトイレに行っておいて下さい」というのが加わるのではと・・・。安全にツアーを楽しんでもらうために努力され工夫されていることがすごく分かるツアーでした。最後に、お昼からのツアーでBBQがついていました。骨付きのお肉がすごく美味しくて沢山おかわりしてしまいました。まとめますと、サンドバーはもちろんきれいで、ゆっくりのんびり時間をすごせたし、船の上から海がめも見れたし、サンドバーでは船の近くに小さい子亀も泳いでいたし、、シュノーケルも出来たし、スタッフの人は楽しかったし、充実したツアーでした。また参加したいと思いました。あ、出来立てほかほかマラサダも美味しかったです。

I participated with my son and his wife. I had seen it many times on TV, but the real thing was indeed great. However, the contrast between the sandbar and the deep sea wasn't very clear, and I wished I could see it from the sky.

息子夫婦と４人で参加しました　テレビ番組で何度も見ていましたが、実物はやはり良かったです　ただサンドバーと深い海とのコントラストは、あまりはっきりせず、空から見たいと思いました

The weather was out of my control, but I really wish it had been sunnier. It was cold.

If you're taking a digital camera to the sandbar, I definitely think a waterproof camera would be best.

I might want to try again when the weather is better. I was glad to see the turtle, even if it was just for a moment.

天気はどうにもならないけど、やっぱりもっと晴れてたら良かったです。寒かった。

サンドバーにデジカメを持っていくならば絶対に防水カメラがいいなと思いました。

もっと天気が良い時に再度チャレンジしたいかも。カメが一瞬でしたけど見れて良かったです。

This is my second tour following last year. It's my favorite. Renting a bike and exploring Kailua was amazing!

昨年に続き2度目のツアーです。お気に入りです。自転車借りてカイルア最高でした！

Continuing from last year, I traveled to Hawaii again this year. My friend and I agreed to join this tour once more.

The reason is that my friend had experienced seasickness during last year's trip and is participating again for a revenge tour. I didn't have that issue, but the content was so appealing that I definitely wanted to join again.

I'm really glad I participated again! I was able to see dolphins and sea turtles up close while snorkeling, and the excitement is beyond words. It's a moment that completely blows away the stress of Japanese society (laughs). This time, I was able to swim even closer to the dolphins than last year. The staff's consideration to ensure we didn't miss seeing the dolphins was also evident.

We changed locations and headed to an area with tropical fish. We received bread to take with us into the sea. When we threw the bread, an incredible number of tropical fish gathered around us. It was another amazing experience. There were also plenty of activities like kayaking.

There were families with children on the same tour. The staff stayed close to the children in the water, and I happened to be floating nearby, so I could see that they were well taken care of, allowing both the kids to enjoy themselves and the parents to feel at ease.

Overall, I was very satisfied to see dolphins, turtles, and tropical fish up close, and it was a great tour where the staff's consideration for this experience was clear.

I want to participate again!

昨年に引き続き今年もハワイへの旅行。今年もこのツアーに参加しようと、一緒に行った友人とは合致の意見でした(^^)

とゆうのも実は、友人は昨年参加した際船酔いになってしまい今回はリベンジの参加。私はそうではなかったですが、また是非参加したいと思える内容であったからです。

やはり、また参加して良かった！！
シュノーケリングであんなに間近にイルカや海亀を見ることができて、あの感動は言葉では伝えきれません。
日本のストレス社会を一気に吹き飛ばせる瞬間です(笑)
イルカは昨年以上に間近で一緒に泳ぐ事ができました。
私達がイルカ達を見逃さないよう、スタッフの方の配慮も伝わってきます。
ポイントを変えて、今度は熱帯魚のいるエリアへ。パンを貰えるのでそれを手に海へ。パンを撒くとものすごい量の熱帯魚が寄ってきます。これまた感激です。
カヤックなどの遊びも充実してます。

同じツアーに子供連れの方も参加してました。海の中でもスタッフの方が子供に付いていて、たまたま私はその近くを浮かんでいたのですが、子供への配慮もきちんとされているので子供も楽しめるし親も安心ですね。

とにかく満足にイルカ、亀、熱帯魚を間近で見ることができて、またそうできるようにスタッフの方の配慮が伝わってくる良いツアーです。

また参加したいです。

I didn't encounter any dolphins, but there's a guarantee, so it's good.

イルカには遭遇しなかつたけどギャランティが有るのでGOOD

I participated in early December 2011. Unfortunately, I had joined a tour to see the lava in 2009, but due to the wind direction of the gas, I couldn't see the ocean entry. I thought about getting a revenge tour, but I was informed that there wasn't much volcanic activity and the ocean entry couldn't be seen, so I decided to join the helicopter tour to see it from above. This time, there was a bit of light rain, and I could only see the moving lava with the naked eye to a limited extent. I was able to see trees being consumed by the lava and flames rising, as well as lava flowing down the cliffs like a thin waterfall. I plan to get revenge during a time of more active activity. However, it was enjoyable to see the town of Kalapana, which had been swallowed by lava in the past, with houses starting to be built again, and the beautifully planted macadamia nut farms. It seems that the seating is determined by weight at check-in, and luckily, I was seated next to the pilot. On the way back to the airport, everyone enjoyed chatting, but I regretted not studying English conversation more. There were participants from various countries.

２０１１．１２月初旬に参加しました。
あいにく２００９に溶岩を見に行くツアーに参加しましたが、溶岩のオーシャンエンターがガスの風向きで見れず、リベンジをと思いましたが、火山活動があまりなくオーシャンエンターは見れないとのことで、ヘリで上から見てみたいと参加しました。今回も小雨混じりで動いている溶岩は肉眼で少し確認できた程度でした。生えている木が溶岩に呑まれて炎が上がっている様子や、細い滝のようにがけを流れている溶岩が見れました。　また活発な活動の際にリベンジです。　しかし上空から昔溶岩に飲み込まれた町カラパナにまた家がぽつぽつ建ちだしている様子や、壮大にきれいに植えられているマカダミアナッツ農場を見れたりと楽しかったです。受付時の体重で席は決められるようで、ラッキーなことにパイロットの並び席でした。空港に戻る際にはみんなで会話を楽しむかんじでしたが、もっと英会話べんきょうしとくべきだったといつもの後悔でした。いろんな国の方が参加されていました。
