All Reviews for Snorkeling Cruises & Tours

This was my son's first snuba experience and he loved it. He's 9 and didn't have any trouble. The guide, Jamie, was awesome.

The crew, especially Captain John, was also great. We even spotted some whale during the excursion.

I'd recommend it to anyone.

I participated with three female friends who are also golf buddies on November 30.

Since it was the first experience for me and another friend, we were a bit nervous, but we were able to enjoy it without any worries.

On this day, we were lucky enough to have a pod of dolphins come into the bay, so we could snorkel there without moving and saw the dolphins over and over again.

The water was incredibly clear, and the dolphins swam in groups, diving deep and then coming up to the surface, jumping right in front of us, which was so exciting. Even though we couldn't catch up, we couldn't help but chase after them in excitement. I even saw a baby dolphin swimming while nursing from its mother. I can't count how many times I ended up swallowing seawater from excitement... (laughs) Even now, just remembering it brings back those emotions.

That said, we were very grateful to our guide, Mr. Nawata. While we were in the water, he constantly made sure we were safe as we swam around excitedly, sometimes diving to take pictures of the dolphins, taking pictures of us, and pulling us in the direction where the dolphins were likely to come...

The beautiful gradient of the sea color at the beach that Mr. Nawata recommended on the way back was also breathtaking.

There are many similar tours, but we all agreed that we were glad to have participated in Mr. Nawata's tour!

　ゴルフ友達女３人組で１１月３０日に参加しました。　

私ともう一人は初体験だったので、少し緊張してたのですが不安なく楽しむことができました。

この日はラッキーなことに、入江にイルカの群れが来てたので、移動することなく　ずっとそこで　シュノーケリングでき　何度も何度も　イルカたちを見ました。　

海の中はすごい透明で、群れで泳いでるイルカたちが　深く潜っていき、それから海面に上がってきて、目の前でジャンプしたり、と　大興奮でした。　　追いつくはずもないのに、思わず夢中で追いかけてしまいます。
赤ちゃんイルカがお母さんのおっぱいを飲みながら泳いでいるのも見ました。
興奮して叫んで何度海水を飲んだことか・・（笑）
今思い出しても　あの感動が甦ります。

それにしても　ガイドの縄田さんにはお世話になりました。
海に入ってる時は、上記のように興奮して泳ぎ回ってる私達に絶えず気をつけてくれ、時には　潜ってイルカの写真をとったり、私達の写真をとってくれたり、イルカの来そうな方向に引っ張って行ってくれたり・・
帰りに連れて行ってくれた、縄田さんお薦めのビーチのグラデーションの美しい海の色も感動ものでした。

同じようなツアーはたくさんありますが、この縄田さんのツアーに参加してよかった！と全員一致しました。

The weather was bad, and the seawater was up to my knees, but it was a good experience. The snorkeling was fun even though the water was murky, as there were lots of fish. The sea was very beautiful.

お天気が悪く膝くらいまで海水がありましたが良い経験になりました。
シュノーケリングも海は濁っていましたがお魚がたくさんいて楽しかったです。
海はとてもきれいでした。

I participated alone this time, but there were two pairs of women as well. Additionally, there were two Japanese guides, which made me feel secure while enjoying snorkeling and snuba.

As for seasickness, I took some motion sickness medication just before departure, but I didn't feel sick and was able to enjoy myself. Regarding the water temperature, it can be quite cold during this season, so I recommend renting a wetsuit. I wore a swimsuit underneath and put on a wetsuit over it, but I still started to feel cold, so it was a race against time.

I was able to see two sea turtles up close, which was very enjoyable. There were also many fish swimming around, and some people even saw a manta ray. The breakfast and lunch on the boat were delicious, and I was satisfied with the tour since I could enjoy beer and Mai Tai on the way back.

Snuba is an optional activity, and for some reason, only the five of us Japanese signed up for it. It was quite fun as you can dive down about 3 meters, so I recommend it. Thank you very much to the two female guides!

私は今回一人での参加だったのですが、他に女性のペアが二組いらっしゃいました。また、日本人ガイドの方も二人いらっしゃったので安心してシュノーケリングとスヌーバを楽しむことができました。

船酔いについては念のため酔い止めを出発するあたりで飲んでおきましたが、酔うことはなく楽しむことができました。次に水温ですが、この時期はけっこう冷たいのでボディースーツ？をレンタルすることをおすすめします。私は水着上下を着ていて、その上にボディースーツを着用しましたが、それでもだんだんと身体が冷えてきたので時間との戦いです。

ウミガメは二匹を間近で見ることができてとても楽しかったです。魚もたくさん泳いでいましたし、マンタを見れた方もいたそうです。船上での朝食とランチも美味しくいただきましたし、帰りはビールやＭＡＩ−ＴＡＩを飲めたので満足できるツアーでした。

スヌーバはオプションで、申し込んだのはどういうわけか私達日本人５名だけでした。３ｍくらい下まで潜れるのでけっこう楽しかったですしおすすめですよ。
お二人の女性ガイドの方、大変ありがとうございました！

On the day of the event, due to strong winds, we couldn't go to Molokini Island and were taken to a different spot. I felt reassured that the staff spoke Japanese from the hotel pickup. I thought it might be cold, but after borrowing a wetsuit, we were ready to go! The staff member, Takako, was very helpful, especially since most of us were beginners. At the second spot, we encountered sea turtles, which was very satisfying. The water temperature was not as low as I expected, and I had a wonderful time swimming with many fish. Although the activities depend on the weather, we were taken to two spots, and we had plenty of time at each, so it really felt like we swam a lot. I had a blister on my foot from traveling, so I couldn't wear fins, but the staff provided precise instructions about safety, which I greatly appreciated. I had snorkeling experience in Australia before, but thanks to Takako, I had a really enjoyable time this time. Looking back, I wish I had borrowed a camera; it would have been nice to have more information on how to take pictures during the camera rental explanation. I was worried about dropping it, so I didn't borrow one, but now I regret not doing so. The big cookies and the hamburgers cooked on the boat were delicious, and I would love to experience this again. Thank you!

11/27当日は、強風で結局モロキニ島には行けず違うスポットへ案内してもらいました。ホテルのピックアップから日本語の通じるスタッフの方で安心でした。寒いかなと思いましたが、ウエットスーツを借り、いざ！　スタッフのTAKAKOさん、ほぼ初心者ぞろいだったと思うのですが、いろいろ細かく教えて下さりありがとうございました。二番目のスポットではウミガメとも遭遇でき、大満足。思ったより水温も低くなく、たくさんのお魚たちとランデブーいたしました。その日の天候に左右されるアクティビティーですが、二か所のスポットへ連れて行って頂き、各々の時間も充分だったので、「泳いだー」って感じでした。旅行中足にできた靴ずれで足ひれがつけられなかったのですが、足ひれがないと流されるからと的確な指示を下さり、安全に留意頂き大変お世話になりました。以前オーストラリアでシュノーケリングの経験がありましたが、今回のTAKAKOさんのおかげで、とっても楽しく過ごせました。あとになってみると、カメラを借りておけばよかったなと思いました、カメラのレンタルの説明の時に撮り方（きっと簡単なんでしょうけれど）とか、どんな写真が撮れるかとかもう少し教えてもらえたらよかったかな、借りて落っことしちゃったら困るかななんて考えて借りませんでしたが、やっぱり借りとけばよかったなと後悔しきり。おっきなクッキーや船上で焼いてくれたハンバーガーも美味しかったです、また体験したいです、ありがとう！

My wife made the reservation, and we participated.

We departed the hotel on the "Always Positive" bus and had malasadas for breakfast. After about an hour of driving, we reached the ocean.

During the bus ride, "Tori-chan" provided detailed explanations on how to use the snorkeling equipment. It was early in the morning, so we were a bit sleepy, but it's best to pay attention to the instructions on the way.

As soon as we arrived at the ocean, we boarded the boat. There were a lot of participants that day, and it was just enough space for everyone to sit. The area for storing luggage wasn't very spacious, so it's better not to bring unnecessary items.

Wet suits can be rented for $10. It was a bit cloudy that day, but the sun occasionally shone through. I didn't rent a wet suit, and it was fine.

For those who are not good swimmers, the staff had a float with a rope that they used to swim with, and they could hold on to it for support, so even those who are anxious can feel safe!

That day, we encountered a lot of dolphins! I desperately took photos. I brought a disposable underwater camera. The staff also took pictures from various angles, which you can purchase later.

After swimming with many dolphins, we moved to another location.

There, we went snorkeling and paddle surfing while watching turtles and fish.

Tired participants can take a break on the boat while enjoying snacks.

It's a very rich tour, but since it's only half a day, you can schedule other activities in the afternoon. On the way back, everyone was fast asleep, recharging for the afternoon.

I've been to Hawaii several times, but it was my first experience seeing wild dolphins and turtles up close, which was a wonderful experience.

I highly recommend it!

妻が予約し、参加しました。

『いつも前向き号』でホテルを出発し、朝ごはんのマラサダ。
そこから１時間ほど走って海へ。

バスの中では『トリちゃん』がシュノーケリングに必要なアイテムの使い方等詳しく説明してくれます。
朝早いので眠いところですが、行きのバスはしっかり説明聞いたほうがいいですよ。


海につくとすぐに船に乗船。
この日は参加人数が多く、ギリギリみんな座れる感じでした。
荷物を置くところはあまり広くないので、余計な荷物は持っていかないほうがいいかと思います。

ウエットスーツは１０ドルでレンタルできます。
この日は少し曇っていましたが、時々太陽も照りつけ、ウエットスーツを借りませんでしたが大丈夫でした。

泳ぎが苦手な人は、スタッフの方が紐のついた浮き輪（？）を持って泳いで、それに捕まって引っ張ってもらっていましたので、不安な方も大丈夫ですよ！


この日はとてもたくさんのイルカに遭遇！
必死で写真をとりました。
私は使い捨ての水中カメラを持参していきました。
スタッフの方もいろんな角度から写真を撮ってくれて、後からそれを購入することもできます。

たくさんのイルカと泳いだあとは別の場所に移動。

そこでカメや魚を見ながらシュノーケリングとパドルサーフィン。

疲れた人は船の上でおやつを食べながら休憩できます。

とても濃い内容のツアーですが、半日だけなので午後は他の予定を入れられます。
帰りのバスはみんな爆睡して午後の体力を蓄えていましたよ。

ハワイには何度かきていますが、野生のイルカやカメを間近で見れたのは初めてで、とてもいい経験になりました。

とてもおすすめです！

This tour, which is popular for the high probability of encountering dolphins, has some reviews mentioning, "I didn't see any."

I was wondering if the weather would be good on the day I participate and if I would get to meet the dolphins...

It seems that if you don't meet the dolphins, you can try again on another day, but since my trip was only four nights and six days long, I had other plans filling up the other days. I was in a situation where I had to rely on this day!!!

On the day of the tour, the pickup was at 6:20 AM while it was still dark outside. Since my hotel was the last pickup, those staying at other hotels must have had even earlier pickups!

But since we would be diving into the ocean, I didn't need to do my makeup, and it was fine if my hair was messy, so even those who aren't morning people can manage (laughs).

After eating Leonard's malasadas, we headed straight to the ocean. While listening to various information on the boat, we arrived at the spot where the dolphins were!

Nervously entering the water and looking down, I was shocked by how deep it was!!!

I panicked but held onto my husband until I got used to it. A few minutes later, the dolphins appeared!! There were even baby dolphins!

Before I knew it, I encountered an astonishingly large group of dolphins!!!

They swam very close to me, and at one point, I felt like I was mixed in with the pod! I really thought I might bump into one!

I could also hear the adorable sounds of the dolphins underwater.

On that day, there were said to be over 100 dolphins. After that, we also saw turtles and some really beautiful tropical fish.

It was truly an amazing tour! If I have the chance to go to Hawaii again, I would definitely want to participate in this tour.

イルカ先生とかなりの確率で遭遇できると人気のこのツアー。
しかし体験談を見ていると『見れませんでした』とゆう書き込みもチラホラ・・・

自分が参加する日は天気がいいのか、そしてイルカ先生に会えるのか・・・

もしイルカ先生に会えなかったら別の日にリベンジできることになっているようですが、なにせ４泊６日の短い旅行で、別の日はすべて他の予定で埋まっており。
この日にかけるしかない！！！とゆう状態でした。

当日は朝まだ外が暗い６：２０のピックアップ。
それでも私の滞在していたホテルは一番最後のピックアップだったので、他のホテルに滞在していた方たちはもっともっと早い時間のピックアップだったんでしょうねーー！

でもどうせ海に潜るのでメイクもしなくてオッケーだし、髪も寝癖あってもオッケーなので、朝が苦手な人でもなんとかなっちゃいますよ（笑）


レナーズのマラサダを食べ早速海へ。
船の上でイロイロと話を聞いたりしているうちにイルカ先生のいるスポットに到着♪

恐る恐る海に入って下を見ると・・・



深！！！！！




焦りましたがなれるまで主人につかまってました。
数分後、すぐにイルカ先生登場！！
子供のイルカちゃんもいましたよ！

そうこうしているうちに驚くほどのイルカ先生の大群に遭遇！！！

すぐ近くを泳いでくれて、一瞬自分がイルカの群れの中に混ざっちゃってる時までありました！！
ほんと、ぶつかるかと思ったー！


水の中ではかわいらしいイルカ先生の鳴き声も聞こえました。


この日は１００匹以上のイルカ先生がいたそうです。
その後はカメさんにも会えたし、とってもきれいな熱帯魚も見れました。

ほんとに感動したツアーでしたー！！
またハワイに行く機会があったら是非参加したいツアーです。

It was my first dolphin tour, and it was great! I want to go again!

初めてのイルカツアーでしたが、よかった！
又行きたいー！

It was early in the morning, but everything was so enjoyable that I forgot about my sleepiness! The staff were friendly and seemed to prioritize making everyone have a good time, which impressed me.

Seeing wild dolphins up close and being able to enter the sea with them was like a dream come true. The hula was also fun!

Thank you!

朝早くからでしたが
全てが楽しくて眠気なんか忘れるほどでした！
スタッフのかたも気さくでみんなを楽しませる
ことを1番に考えているのだなと感心しました。

野生のイルカを生で見ることができ、一緒の海に入ることができたのは夢のような時間でした。
フラも楽しかったです！

ありがとう！

To sum it up, I was disappointed that we didn't encounter any dolphins this time.

According to the guide, who has been working for 9 years, this was only the second time they haven't encountered dolphins. They mentioned that previously, they had only one instance of not seeing dolphins. Simply calculating the probability, there's about a 0.1% chance of not encountering dolphins. Conversely, there's about a 99.9% chance of encountering them. <<No encounters 2 times ÷ (5 days a week x 4 weeks x 12 months x 9 years) x 100% = Probability of not encountering 0.09%>>

Therefore, generally speaking, you can expect to encounter dolphins, so there's no need to worry about that. Additionally, if you don't encounter dolphins, you can participate for free next time.

Regardless of whether you encounter dolphins or not, this tour will create wonderful memories for active individuals. However, for those who want to relax on vacation in Hawaii or are prone to seasickness, it might be a bit of a bitter experience.

Here's a brief overview of the tour process. The meeting point is where you will be picked up from your accommodation. The time is very early, around 6:10 AM. I believe the time may vary slightly depending on the season (I participated in December). During the journey, you will have a complimentary piece of fried bread. Also, the Japanese guide will engage the participants with conversation to boost their spirits. It takes about an hour to reach the harbor where the boat is docked.

As soon as we arrive at the harbor, we board the boat. If anyone needs to use the restroom, they can use the boat's restroom, which is not very clean. We search for dolphins, and if we find them, we swim together. This time, since we didn't find any, we went snorkeling where there were fish and sea turtles. If there's extra time, you can try paddleboarding or kayaking. We have a hamburger lunch on the boat, and we finish with everyone dancing on the way back. The tour ends around 1 PM.

結果から言うと、今回はイルカに遭遇できず残念でした。

9年間務めているガイドによると、これまでに1回だけイルカに遭遇できなかったとのことです。そして、今回が2度目にあたるそうです。
単純に確率を計算すると、約0.1％の確率でイルカに遭遇できません。逆に約99.9％の確率でイルカに遭遇できるということです。<<遭遇不可2度÷(週5日x4週x12か月x9年間)x100%=遭遇できない確率0.09%>>

したがって、一般的にはイルカに遭遇できるので、この点は心配いりません。
また、イルカに遭遇できなかった場合、次回無料で参加できます。

イルカの遭遇成否に関わらず、このツアーはアクティブな人であればとても良い思い出になるでしょう。しかし、ハワイでゆっくりバカンスを過ごしたい方や、船酔いする方にとっては、ちょっと苦い思い出になるかもしれません。

簡単にツアーの流れを紹介します。
集合場所は、宿泊先に迎えが来ます。時間はとても早いです。午前6時10分でした。シーズンによって時間は若干変わると思います。(12月参加)　道中に揚げパン1つ食べます。サービスです。また、日本人ガイドが参加者のテンションを上げるべくトークをします。船を泊めているハーバーまで約1時間です。
ハーバーに到着するとすぐに船に乗り込みます。トイレに行きたい人は、船のトイレを使用します。船のトイレですので、あまりきれいではありません。
イルカを探し、発見したら一緒に泳ぎます。今回は、発見できなかったので、魚やウミガメがいるところでシュノーケリングをしました。時間が余れば、パドルボードやカヤックを体験できます。船上でハンバーグの昼食をとります。帰りに皆でダンスをして終了です。午後1時頃には終了します。

YOU DO SEE TURTLES! Amazing experience- we saw 5 large sea turtles at the cleaning station. We had a large one come up for air literally right in front of us- I could have reached out and touched it! We also saw dolphins and several large fish. If you want to see turtles, this is the snorkel for you... If you're looking for a close-up of tropical fish - go to a different site. Cruise is very comfortable and a great view of the Waikiki beach front.

I was looking forward to seeing the bright red lava flowing into the sea at Kilauea Volcano, but since the earthquake in March, the lava flow has stopped, and the red lava can only be seen from a helicopter. The cost is a bit high, but since it was a special trip to the Big Island of Hawaii, I splurged and participated with my wife.

It was my first time in a helicopter, and I was a bit nervous, but the view from above was amazing. The volcanic rock, the red lava, and the flowing waterfalls were all incredibly satisfying.

キラウエア火山　真っ赤な溶岩が海に流れ落ちる様子を期待していましたが、3月の震災以降溶岩流出が止まり、赤い溶岩は　ヘリコプターで上空からしか見えないとの事、費用は少々お高いが折角のハワイ島旅行、奮発して妻と参加しました。
ヘリは初めてでおっかなびっくりでしたが上空からの眺めは素晴らしく、火山の岩肌、赤い溶岩、滝の流れ　大変満足しました。

This is a very worthwhile tour where you can swim with dolphins and even enjoy popular malasadas. I had participated in dolphin watching before, but when I found a tour that allowed swimming with them, I was skeptical and signed up, wondering if it was really true.

After joining the tour, I was truly amazed. I was able to see dolphins swimming right in front of me up close. On top of that, I even got to see a baby dolphin!

Additionally, the cheeseburger we had on the boat was delicious. I would love to repeat this experience the next time I go to Hawaii. It’s a wonderful tour that makes dreams come true, and I would definitely recommend it to my friends.

イルカと泳ぐ事ができ、人気のマラサダまで食べれるとてもお得なツアーです。
今までイルカウォッチングは参加した事があったのですが、一緒に泳ぐ事が出来るツアーを見つけ、本当？と半信半疑で申し込みました。
ツアーに参加してみて本当びっくり。イルカが目の前を泳いでいくのを間近で見る事ができました。おまけに赤ちゃんイルカまで見れました。
また、船の上で食べるチーズバーガーも美味しかった。
次にハワイに行くときも、リピートしたいです。
夢を実現できる素敵なツアーですので、友人にもおススメしたいです。

A dolphin swam right in front of me, and it was amazing. She was a little clumsy, but there was no problem because we had life jackets. The crew was all fun and fantastic!

イルカが目の前をとおり、感動です。彼女が金槌でしたがライフジャケットがあるので問題なし。クルーもみんな楽しくてさいこーでした。

Crew was friendly, snorkeling was great! The pictures on the site ring true to the experience had.

It's really disappointing when the weather is bad.

However, the staff tried to lift our spirits, which was very nice, and overall, I had a great time.

The food was delicious too.

But it was so cold because of the bad weather...

I definitely want to try again.

天気が悪いとホント残念です。

でもスタッフさんが盛り上げようとしてくれて、とても好感がもてたし、全体的には楽しかったです。

ごはんもおいしかったし。

ただもう天気悪かったんで寒くて寒くて・・・。

ぜひリベンジしたいですね。

I participated with a friend. Since we didn't have a car, it was very helpful to have a shuttle service by bus.

We went in March, and although it was a bit chilly with strong winds, the blue sea and sandy beach were amazing. It might have been even better if the weather had been nice. ^^;

友人と二人で参加しました。
車に乗らないので、バスで送迎して貰えるのは
とても助かりました。

３月に行き、風が強く少し肌寒かったのですが、
青い海と砂浜は最高でした。
天気がよかったらもっとよかったかも^^；

I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who is a first time visitor to the Big Island. The views were spectacular! Take many pictures in flight as the DVD of the flight does not capture everything you see and ask alot of questions about what you are seeing. For me, it was worth the money! The staff were great!

The cruise was pleasant, and I was able to see a lot of fish. Most importantly, I was thrilled that dolphins came close and I could swim with them!

The hula dance lesson was also fun. I enjoyed both the sea and the land!

クルーズも気持ち良かったですし、
魚も沢山見れました。
なんといっても、近くにイルカが来てくれて
一緒に泳げたことに感動！

フラダンスレッスンも、楽しかったです。
海陸両方で満喫♪

We participated as a family of four, including our children (ages 4 and 2). The price is honestly high, but it was a valuable tour.

As of November 2011, the volcano was in a state of calm, so we couldn't see the flowing lava, but we were able to see red magma and smoke from the cracks in the earth. It was great to see the different landscapes of the island from the air, including near waterfalls, the ocean, and land with varying climates.

By the way, our original reservation date was canceled due to bad weather after checking in on-site. Since we had some flexibility in our schedule, we were able to change it to a later date and participate without any issues. If you make a reservation, I recommend booking for the first half of your arrival in Hawaii and setting aside an extra day as a backup.

I had hoped for a Japanese-speaking pilot for our weekday reservation, but unfortunately, the guidance was in English. Honestly, I didn't understand most of the explanations, but I enjoyed the scenery. If there had been a Japanese guide, I might have enjoyed it even more. That's the only disappointment.

夫婦＋子ども（４歳、２歳）の４人で参加しました。
価格は正直高いですが、価値のあるツアーでした。

２０１１年１１月現在は火山も小康状態ということで
流れる溶岩をみることはできませんでしたが、
大地の切れ目から見える赤いマグマ、煙をみることができ、
島内遊覧も滝の近くや海や陸、気候の違う大地を空からみることができて良かったです。

ちなみに、当初の予約日は天候不良のため、現地チェックイン後に催行中止になりました。
日程に余裕があったので、後日に変更して無事参加できました。
予約される場合は、ハワイ島到着日前半に予約をして
予備日を一日設けておくのをお勧めします。

平日予約で日本人パイロット希望でしたが、残念ながら英語案内でした。
正直説明はほとんどわかりませんでしたが、景色は楽しめました。
日本語ガイドだったらもっと楽しめたのかもしれませんね。
そこだけ残念です。

I was surprised to find dolphins as soon as we went out to sea. Once we entered the water, I could hear the dolphins' calls, and I was deeply moved to see them swimming close by and in groups. On the way back, a mother and baby dolphin swam right next to our boat, allowing us to see wild dolphins up close.

Additionally, both the captain of the boat and the local Japanese guide were very kind, and we had a wonderful time.

　海に出てすぐにイルカを見つけることが出来てびっくりしました。海に入るとイルカの鳴き声が聞こえ、自分の近くを泳いで行ったり、群れで泳いでいる姿を間近で見れたり、とっても感動しました。帰りも船のすぐ横を親子のイルカが一緒に泳いでいたりと本当にすぐ近くに野生のイルカを見ることが出来ます。
　また船のキャプテンも現地日本人ガイドの方もとっても親切で、楽しい時間を過ごす事ができました。

This was our first experience with "BOB" and it was amazing! Especially for me as I'm a bit paranoid with being underwater and don't like water in my face and can't even handle snorkeling. I was afraid I wouldn't be able to handle it but after the initial nervousness of being submerged, I was able to see all the wonderful sites of colorful fish and sea turtles and my hair didn't even get wet!!! It was amazing!

I swam with dolphins for the first time.

Although I couldn't touch them, I was moved to see a pod of dolphins up close while snorkeling and to hear their calls.

The staff were warm and I had a comfortable time.

It must have been hectic on a busy day, but they made sure to attend to each person carefully without making us feel that rush.

初めてイルカと一緒に泳ぎました。

触れることはできませんでしたが、
シュノーケルをしながら間近でいるかの群れをみること、
鳴き声にふれることができ感動しました。


スタッフの皆様も暖かく、心地よい時間を過ごせました。

満員の日でばたばたしたでしょうが、そういったことを感じさせず一人一人に丁寧に接してくれたのが印象です。

This is my second time participating.

The early morning plan was a bit disappointing because the sea and sky weren't as clear due to the clouds.

The crew speaks Japanese, so you can board with peace of mind.

If you want to relax and enjoy, I don't think the early morning plan is recommended.

２回目の参加です。

早朝プランは曇りのために透き通った海・空☆とはいえなかったのでちょっと残念でした。

クルーは日本語OKなので安心して乗船できます。

ゆったり楽しみたい方は早朝プランはおすすめでないかな。と思います。

It was a bit cloudy on the day, but the color of the sea was very beautiful. The sandbar wasn't as prominent as seen in advertisements, but it's still a strange place that's shallow despite being offshore. It seems advisable to check the low tide before making a reservation, as it can be waist-deep on deeper days.

I would like to participate again.

当日少し曇りがちでしたが、海の色はとてもきれいでした。
サンドバーは広告等見るほどは浮きでてはいませんが、それでも、沖合いなのに浅い不思議な場所です。
予約前に干潮を調べたほうがよさそうです。深い日は腰くらいまであるようです。

また、参加したいと思っています。

Thank you very much! Unfortunately, the dream sandbar didn't form, and the water was about knee-deep, but it was a great experience! It was cold, so I didn't go snorkeling, but I think it was good that there was no pressure to do so.

Next time I go to Hawaii, I think it will be even more amazing if the weather is nice and the tide is low, so I would love to participate again!

I highly recommend it!

ありがとうございました！憧れのサンドバーは残念ながら砂地にならず、膝くらいの海水でしたが、とってもいい経験になりました！！
寒かったのでシュノーケリングはしませんでした！強要しないのもよかったと思います。

次にハワイに行く時はいいお天気で引き潮だとさらに感動すると思うのでまた参加したいです！！

オススメですよ！

I was really wondering if I would encounter dolphins, but when they appeared right in front of me, it was so moving! I didn't feel seasick at all, and it was very pleasant.

本当にイルカに出会えるかなぁと思ってましたが、
目の前に表れた時は感動でした！
船酔いもなく、とても気持ち良かったです。

We gathered at 6 AM, starting in complete darkness. Right after we set out, we witnessed the sunrise and encountered dolphins, making for a very satisfying tour. The Na Pali Coast was incredibly beautiful, making it feel like we were in a movie. Although we couldn't land on Niihau Island, we were able to go snorkeling at a nearby beach. The water was very clear and beautiful. However, since all the explanations were in English, I think it would be more enjoyable if someone who speaks English was present.

6時集合ということで真っ暗な所からのスタートでした。
出向してすぐ日の出があったり、イルカに遭遇したり、
大満足なツアーでした。
ナパリコーストも凄く綺麗で、映画の世界にいるようでした。
ニイハウ島へは上陸できませんが、近くの海辺でシュノーケリングができます。海もとても澄んでいて綺麗でした。
ただ全てが英語での説明なので、英語がしゃべれる人がいた方がより楽しめるのかな？と思います。

I took medication in advance, but I ended up getting seasick and feeding the fish a lot. However, I was pleasantly surprised that the dolphins played with us, and I was satisfied to swim with them. Those who are used to the sea were diving and swimming together. For those who are not good at swimming, it might be a little scary at first, but there were two staff members supporting the six participants, so it was okay.

事前に薬を飲んだのですが、船酔いしてお魚にたくさんエサをあげてしまいました。。しかし、期待以上にイルカが一緒に遊んでくれて、イルカと泳げて満足です。海に慣れている方は潜って一緒に泳いでいました。泳ぎが得意でない方は、はじめ少し怖いかもしれませんが、参加者６人に対してスタッフが２名でサポートしてくれるので大丈夫でした。

I was truly moved to see a manta ray up close like that! It came so close that it felt like it was about to touch my body, making it an unforgettable experience. Thank you very much.

あんなに近くでマンタを見れるなんて本当に感動しました！今にも身体に触りそうな所まできてくれて忘れられない体験になりました。ありがとうございました。
