All Reviews for Snorkeling Cruises & Tours

I participated last October and personally found the seawater to be very cold, so this time, since it was September, I was really looking forward to it. Last time I joined the afternoon session, but this time I discovered the different charm of the morning session.

The result was... rain. While Waikiki was sunny, once we crossed the mountain, it was pouring rain (laughs). Before even worrying about the cold seawater, I was soaked and freezing! I was a bit anxious that it might get canceled, but we set sail in the rain! We did some turtle watching in light rain and saw about 2 or 3 turtles. By the time we arrived at the sandbar, it was raining even more. We went out in our swimsuits, but it was cold! Some people on the tour were smartly wearing jackets while walking on the sandbar. I thought that was the right choice. When the sunlight peeked through the clouds, it felt really nice. The seawater was warmer than last year, which was a bit of relief amidst the cold rain on my upper body.

Next was snorkeling. What surprised me was how the sea turtles were unusually friendly! They are protected by law and should never be touched, but they actually came up to us (laughs). While snorkeling, they swam alongside us the whole time, and it was truly a precious experience!

Despite the on-and-off rain and feeling cold, it ultimately became a wonderful memory for me and my two friends!!!

私は去年10月に参加して個人的に凄く海水が冷たく感じたので、今回は9月という事もあり、とても期待して参加しました。前回は午後の部、今回は午前の部と違った良さを発見できました。
結果は.....雨。。。ワイキキは晴れていましたが、山を越えるとすっかりどしゃぶりでした（笑　海水が冷たいとかいう以前に雨にぬれて凄く寒いっ。もしかして中止になるのかと少々不安になりましたが、雨の中出航！！やや小雨の中海亀ウォッチング。2~3匹見れました。サンドバーに着いた頃にはさらに雨。。。水着で繰り出しましたが、寒い！！ツアーの中にはしっかり上着を着てサンドバーを歩いている方もいました。正解だと思いました。途中雲の隙間から太陽の光が出てきたときはとても気持ち良かったです。肝心な海水は去年より温かく、雨で上半身が寒い中少し助かりました。続いてはシュノーケル。ここで驚いたのが異常にに人に寄り付いてくるウミガメがっ！？法律で守られていて決して触ってはいけないとされているカメですが、むしろ向こうからぶつかってきます（笑　シュノーケル中、終始一緒に泳ぎ、それはそれは貴重な体験をさせていただきました！
降ったり止んだりな雨の中、寒い思いもしましたが、結果的に友達2人でとても良い思い出になりました！！！

I participated on September 17th. I was very impressed by the sandbar that suddenly appears in the middle of the ocean! Unfortunately, it was a cloudy day, so it was a bit cold, but I had a great time. The water was about mid-calf at the shallowest point. I think it would have been even more amazing if I could have participated during low tide when the sand is fully exposed. The staff were all cheerful and energetic, making it a fun experience, and the hamburgers for lunch were very delicious. We were also able to see sea turtles here and there, making it a highly satisfying tour that I recommend. Since the waves are calm, I think even beginners in snorkeling can enjoy it.

9/17参加しました。海の真ん中に突然現れるサンドバーには非常に感動しました！当日生憎の曇り空だったので、寒かったのですが楽しかったです。水は一番浅いところでふくらはぎの真ん中位でした。完全に砂が露出する引潮時に参加できたらもっと感動的だったんだろうな、と思います。スタッフはみな明るくてテンションが高く、楽しませてくれますし、ランチのハンバーガーもとても美味しかったです。ウミガメもあちこちに見ることができ、非常に満足できるツアーでお勧めです。波が穏やかな場所なので、シュノーケル初心者の方でも楽しめると思います。

(Positive Points)
○ I was moved to see wild dolphins swimming while snorkeling.
○ I was worried about seasickness, but thanks to the staff who kept things fun and lively, I didn't have time to feel sick and had a great time.
○ The bread from Leonard was delicious.
○ They entertained us with singing, dancing, and provided fruits and snacks, which made for a very enjoyable experience on the boat.
○ We had plenty of time to play, and it was truly the best activity. I think it was worth more than the price.

(Negative Points)
○ There wasn't much time to enjoy the stand-up paddleboarding or canoeing.
○ I participated in the second trip, but the boat's restroom became full and was unusable, which was a bit tough.

（良かった点）
○野生のイルカが泳いでいるのをシュノーケリングをして見ることができて感動。
○船酔いが心配だったが、スタッフの方が楽しく盛り上げてくれたおかげで、船酔いする暇もなく、楽しく過ごすことができた。
○レナードのパンも食べれておいしかった。
○歌ったり、踊ったり、フルーツやお菓子の差し入れがあったりと、船の上でも楽しくもてなしてくれて、とてもよい対応だった。
○たっぷりと遊べて、本当に最高のアクティビティ。値段以上の価値があると思う。

（残念だった点）
○スタンディングボードやカヌーを楽しむ時間があまりなかった。
○２便に参加したが、船のトイレがいっぱいになってしまい、使えなかったのが少しつらかった。

When we arrived at the meeting point on the pier, we immediately recognized the boat that was docked. The boat was clean, with tables and benches on the first floor, and only benches on the second floor. There was plenty of space to move around. We had a 4-year-old and a 6-year-old with us, and there were activities that everyone, from kids to adults, could enjoy, such as watching dolphins and riding in a boat shaped like a float. The staff were friendly and very attentive. They also provided wetsuits for both children and adults (each for $10). We were also soothed by the wonderful views, sea breeze, and music. I highly recommend it.

集合場所の桟橋に着くと、船がとまっているのですぐにわかりました。船はきれいで１階にはテーブルとベンチがあり、２階にはベンチのみ。スペースはかなりゆったりとしています。４歳と６歳の子供連れでしたが、イルカを見たり、浮き輪のような形のボートに乗ったり、子供から大人まで楽しめる内容です。スタッフもフレンドリーで、面倒見のよい方々ばかりでした。子供用と大人用のウェットスーツも借してくれます。（１つ１０ドル）素晴らしい景色と海風と音楽にも癒されました。おすすめです。

If you want to experience the ride of a life time then this is the voyage for you, from the crew, the Napali Coast and spinner dolphins and over to Niihau Island and Snorkeling at Lehua in crystal clear water everything was just perfect, we went in mid sept this yr and had only 27 people on the 65 foot cat and plenty of room, snorkeling was the best, even saw a Monk seal a couple of rays and a octopus, the seas coming back across the channel were very calm for us, we might have been very lucky, but again don't miss this wonderful voyage its worth every penny.

I'm really glad I went!
The guide was interesting and made me feel relaxed♪
I want to go again!!!!

行って本当によかったです！
ガイドさん、おもしろくてなごみました♪
また行きたい！！！！

I participated in mid-September. The staff were friendly, and I had a fun experience.

The summer-only early morning course follows this flow: "Boat → Walk on the sandbar → Snorkeling → Breakfast."

However, it can be quite cold in the morning. Once you get into the water, it's manageable, but due to the strong wind, it can be quite uncomfortable when you come out wet. Even without that, if you go with a summer mindset, it feels chilly. (At one point, all the participants were hesitant.)

Make sure to bring something to protect against the wind, or you can borrow a wetsuit.

Also, you need to pay attention to the tides, as there can be times when the water level is quite high.

It's safer to bring a waterproof camera, or you can bring a waterproof case.

There are apparently friendly sea turtles around, and you can often encounter them. (This time, one came quite close to us.)

The price seems a bit on the higher side, but overall, I think it's a good tour.

9月中旬に参加しました。
スタッフの方は感じが良く、楽しく体験出来ました。


夏限定の早朝コースは、
「船→サンドバーで歩く→スノーケリング→朝ご飯」
という流れ。

ただし、朝は結構寒いです。
海に入ってしまえばまだなんとかなるレベルなのですが、
風が強いため、濡れた後に出るとかなり堪えますし、
そうでなくても夏感覚で行くと肌寒いです。
（途中までは参加者がみんなひいていました）

ちゃんと風を防ぐものを持って行くか、
ウェットスーツを貸して下さるのでそれを利用。


また、潮の満ち引きをよく見て行かないと、
普通に水位の高い時もあるようです。

カメラは防水のものを持って行く方が安心して使えます。
あるいは防水ケースを持参。

懐いているウミガメがいるらしく、
ウミガメには結構会える雰囲気。
（今回も、間近にきてくれました）


値段はやや高めの設定な気はしますが、
総じて良いツアーだと思います。

You can enjoy snorkeling in the beautiful sea. You'll even get to meet sea turtles. Plus, the staff is amazing!! They will definitely get you excited.

綺麗な海でシュノーケリングを楽しめる。ウミガメにも会えるよ。それと、スタッフが最高！！盛り上げてくれること間違いなし。

This was one of the best activities we did on the big island. I would highly recommend this trip!

Watching the sea turtles up close was fantastic. I somewhat understood the meaning of the sandbar. Snorkeling...

ウミガメは真近にウォッチングできて満点です。サンドバーはその意味がなんとなく理解できました。シュノーケリングは・・・

We really enjoyed this cruise. The Na Pali coast is very beautiful. The breakfast and lunch was great. The snorkeling was fantastic. Getting to see a monk seal basking in the sun was really great. The ride home was the only part of the trip that was challenging. I recommend anyone taking this cruise to take a dramimine before departing. On the ride back the crew passed out plenty of buckets, people were getting sick because of the rough ride. It is not the fault of the crew, the seas are especially rough. The only warning we got ahead of time was that it is an "E" ticket ride on the way back. No one on the boat knew exactly what to expect. We were lucky enough not to be the ones who did get sick. Well worth the money and the views are breath taking. It is an experience we will never forget. The crew was very nice and helpful. Thanks y'all!!

We had a fantastic tour and was even lucky enough to see lots of Dolphins along the way!! Being on the boat was a fun experience (not recommended if you get sea sick as the waves can get very big which makes for a bumpy but fun ride!) and the views of The Na Pali were amazing. Great crew too which made the trip more enjoyable - lots of interesting stories and very welcoming! The food was well prepared and had a good variety too - very tasty! We would highly recommend this tour!

The weather was great, and I got to see a lot of dolphins and sea turtles. The staff were very lively and made the experience enjoyable from early in the morning until the end. It wasn't just about meeting the dolphins; the entire tour was fun.

お天気がよくたくさんのイルカとウミガメに会えました。
スタッフの方たちがとてもいい感じに盛り上げてくれて、朝早くから解散までたのしく過ごせました。ただイルカに会えるだけじゃなくて、ツアーの内容全体が楽しかったです。

I was able to take my time to enjoy the Napali Coast, and I even had the delightful experience of encountering a pod of dolphins along the way. There were detailed safety considerations, so I didn't feel particularly anxious. However, there were hardly any Japanese people, so all the explanations were in English, and due to the noise of the boat, I could hardly understand anything. It's a shame because the guide was doing their best to provide information. I might need to improve my English skills to enjoy it more. Also, during snorkeling, I was surprised by the lack of fish, so I got out of the water quickly. Maybe the waves made it difficult to find a good spot.

ナパリコーストもゆっくりと見ることができ、途中でイルカの群れに遭遇するという嬉しい出来事もありました。安全面も細かい配慮があったので特に不安に感じることもなかったです。ただ、ほとんど日本人がいないので、説明はすべて英語で、船の騒音もあってほとんど理解できませんでした。ガイドさんが一生懸命案内してくれていたのに残念です。もっと楽しむには英語力が必要かもしれません。あと、シュノーケリングは、なぜここで？と思うくらい魚がいなかったので、すぐあがってしまいました。波があるから場所がないのかな。

First of all this was my first time snorkeling and my wife's 2nd or 3rd time! I was really nervous and the girls did everything they could to make sure I was comfortable in the water and made sure I had a great time! The sandbars were great! The best part where the surprise sea turtles! The reef was beautiful! We saw a ton of fish and a sea turtle! I highly recommend Captain Bob's to anyone! The music during the BBQ was great and so was the food! The girls where funny and really enjoyed what they were doing! If you guys go make sure to bring your sunblock!

Upon arriving at the hotel on the Big Island, I immediately made a phone call to confirm my reservation, but I could only communicate in English and couldn't effectively ask about directions to the meeting point, so I gave up and hung up. Fortunately, it seems they kindly contacted the Japanese desk at the hotel for me, and I was able to get assistance from the Japanese desk. I decided to take a taxi to the meeting point.

When we arrived at the meeting point, we were the only Japanese customers there. Once we boarded the boat and set off, I couldn't help but scream with excitement at the incredible speed. It was so much fun! I'm glad I wore sunglasses because the wind was strong.

After a while, we encountered a pod of dolphins, and I was thrilled to see them jump in front of us like in a dolphin show at an aquarium. The clarity of the water in Kealakekua Bay was amazing, and I took various pictures of the fish with my waterproof camera while snorkeling. An American child on board was having fun jumping off the boat. We took a little break on the boat to enjoy sandwiches, fruits, and snacks.

After that, we went to see various caves and felt the greatness of nature. There was an explanation in English about the history of the Big Island along the way, so I recommend that those who don't understand English read the Japanese pamphlet provided before boarding.

It was a tour that exceeded my expectations, and I was very satisfied!☆

　ハワイ島のホテルに着いてさっそく予約確認の電話をかけましたが英語しか通じず集合場所までの行き方についての質問をうまく伝えられずに諦めて電話を切りました。するとご親切にもホテルのジャパニーズデスクに連絡してくだっさったようでジャパニーズデスクに対応してもらいタクシーで集合場所まで行くことにしました。
　無事集合場所に到着すると日本人のお客さんは私たちだけでした。いざボートに乗り込み出発するとすごいスピードでキャーキャー叫んでしまいました。すごく楽しいです！風が強いのでサングラスをしていて良かったです。
　しばらく行くとイルカの群れに遭遇し水族館のイルカショーのような大ジャンプが目の前で見られて感激しました。
　ケアラケクア湾の透明度はすばらしくシュノーケリングをしながら防水カメラでいろんな魚を撮りました。一緒に乗っていたアメリカ人の子供はボートから飛び込みをしたりして楽しんでいました。ボートの上でサンドイッチとフルーツ、スナック菓子をいただきちょっと休憩。
　その後、いろんな洞窟を見に行き、自然の偉大さを実感しました。
　途中ハワイ島の歴史について英語で説明がありますので英語がわからない方は乗船前にもらえる日本語の説明書を熟読しておくことをおすすめします。
　期待以上に楽しいツアーで大満足でしたぁー☆

　

We had a great time as a family on this cruise. My kids (ages 10 and 13) swim, but I was still nervous about them with snorkeling gear in open water for 1.5 hours. Turns out I had no need to worry. They have these great flotation devices you can buckle around their torsos that gives them about 50% flotation, and my kids enjoyed having these on so they didn't have to expend much energy swimming and could enjoy the fish. I'm a marginal swimmer--ok in pools but little experience in open water, and I had a great time also--put on a flotation device around me and didn't worry a bit. I probably could have continued snorkeling another hour. The kids enjoyed sliding off the boat slides into the bay also. Highly recommend.

I confirmed my reservation in Waikiki, and it was fine to do so in Japanese. They even gave me a morning call early on the day of my arrival.

I participated alone, but both the crew and other guests were friendly, so I highly recommend it!

I took motion sickness medication before departure, and I didn't feel sick at all on the boat or in the pickup van, so it's a must for those who are worried about it. In fact, about two people got seasick on the boat and couldn't go snorkeling with the dolphins.

Since we were dealing with wild dolphins, I thought it would depend on luck, but a mother dolphin and her five calves swam slowly around us! It was a lucky day because the water was very clear!

We moved to another spot and snorkeled among about eight sea turtles! The taro bread hamburger for lunch was also quite delicious!

We were able to return to Waikiki by noon, so I highly recommend it!

ワイキキに到着してからリコンファームしましたが日本語でOKで、当日の朝早くに確認のモーニングコールくれました。
一人参加でしたが、クルーもお客さんも仲良く過ごせるのでオススメです！
出発前に酔い止めを飲んでおいたら、ボートの上でもピックアップのバンでも全然酔わなかったので、心配な方はマストです。
実際2人くらいボートで酔って、イルカシュノーケルできてませんでした。
野生のイルカ相手だから、運もあるだろうとおもってましたが、5頭のイルカの親子が私達の周りを本当にゆっくり泳いでくれました！その日は水も透明度の高い日だったのでラッキーでした！
ポイント移動して、ウミガメが8頭くらいいる中でシュノーケルしました！
ランチのタロイモブレッドのハンバーガーもなかなか美味しかったです！
昼にはワイキキに戻ってこれたので、オススメです！

Floating in the night sea for 45 minutes while being tossed by the waves, even while holding onto something, takes quite a bit of stamina. I wondered if I really needed to wear a life jacket. The day we went, the waves might have been a bit rough.

I took motion sickness medication, but the waves were so rough that I got seasick and returned to the boat a little earlier than others. At the very least, it's a good idea to remember some English like "I wanna go back to the boat. I'm tired." The staff will help you when returning, but for the few meters until you grab the rope, you'll have to swim on your own in open water, which could be tough if you're not a strong swimmer... I think it's better to return with a bit of energy left. It was a more demanding activity than I expected.

The manta rays came quite close, which was great. Since seaweed and debris can get tangled in your hair while floating, wearing a swim cap helps prevent that and also makes the mask straps more comfortable. The English explanations weren't difficult, so you'll be fine.

何かにつかまりながらとはいえ、夜の海で波に揉まれながら45分浮いているのは、結構体力がいります。救命胴衣は着けなくていいのかな？と思う位でした。私たちが利用した日は、少し波が荒かったのかもしれません。

酔い止めを飲んで行きましたが、波が荒くて酔ってしまい、他の人より少し早く船に戻りましたが、少なくとも"I wanna go back to the boat. I'm tired."位の英語は覚えていった方がいいです。戻る時はスタッフが手伝ってくれますが、ロープにつかまるまでの数mは、何もない所を自力で泳ぐことになるので、カナヅチだと厳しいかも...少し余力を残した状態で戻った方がいいと思います。思っていたよりお気楽ではないアクティビティでした。

マンタそのものは、すぐ近くまで来てくれて良かったです。海に浮いている藻や屑が髪に絡まるため、水泳用の帽子をかぶっておくと、引っ掛かりにくいし、マスクのゴムも痛くないです。英語の説明は、難しい事は言っていないので、大丈夫です。

The image of the sandbar had me expecting a lot, but when I actually set foot on the sandbar... it felt just like a shallow area? I think it's best to participate with slightly lower expectations. The photos that are often shared are a bit too impressive (ﾟｰﾟ; However, the location is amazing! The sea stretches as far as the eye can see, and it's beautiful. There were many other tour participants, but it didn't feel crowded, and I was able to enjoy myself. Unfortunately, the snorkeling visibility was low, possibly due to the season, but it was still a valuable experience. The Japanese guide's stories and atmosphere were very pleasant. I would love to join again if I have the chance! ♪

サンドバーのイメージ、期待が大きすぎて実際サンドバーに降り立つと。。。。ただの浅瀬？な感じが。。
期待ちょっと少なめで参加してみると丁度よいと思います。
よく公開されている写真が立派すぎるんだと(ﾟｰﾟ;
でもロケーションは最高☆みわたすかぎり海だし綺麗だし
他のツアー参加者さんはたくさんいたけどごみごみと込み合った印象はなく楽しく参加できました。
シュノーケルはあいにく時期が悪かったのか透明度が低かったけれど貴重な体験ができました。
日本語ガイドさんのお話や雰囲気がとても良かったです。
機会があったらまた参加したいです♪

The guide was Japanese and the explanations were easy to understand. The weather wasn't great, so it wasn't as beautiful as in the photos, but it's a place that is hard to visit on your own, so I recommend it for first-timers.

ガイドさんが日本の方で説明もわかりやすったです。
お天気がいまいちで写真のような美しさではありませんでしたがなかなか個人では行けないので初めての方にはお薦めです。

Cruising while being blown by the sea breeze was very pleasant. The view of Hawaii Island from the ocean was also wonderful. Along the way, a pod of about five or six dolphins came close and swam right by us, which was a bit moving. The snorkeling was beautiful with its blue waters, but it was a bit disappointing that there weren't many fish. However, I was pleasantly surprised by how enjoyable the cruising was, and I felt glad to have participated.

潮風に吹かれながらのクルージングはとても気持ちよかったです。海から見るハワイ島の景色もすばらしかったです。途中イルカも５，６頭寄ってきてすぐそこを泳いでいるのが見れてちょっと感動でした。シュノーケルは青くてきれいでしたが、ちょっと魚がいない感じでそこは残念でしたが、クルージングが意外に気持ちよくて参加してよかったと思いました。

This snorkeling cruise was alot of fun. The crew worked really well together, skilled and knowledgeable and used alot of humor throughout the day and made everyone laugh. The bar-b-que was delicious and prepared very well. They crew made it a point to take us where sea turtles hung out and they didn't disappoint. We saw families of sea turtles swimming around. The snorkeling was good and I wished we would have had more time to spend there. The sea was gorgeous and very clear. We got to see the island that Gilligan's Island was used in the opening scene and that was great since we grew up with that show. Overall, a great and enjoyable way to spend a day and the price was comparable to the experience.

We celebrated my mother's 80th birthday in September with seven family members. It was my first experience wearing a wetsuit, using a snorkel and fins, and encountering wild dolphins. I'm already looking back at the photos of my mother’s joyful smile underwater.

I truly appreciate the help from YUMIKO. Without her thoughtfulness, my mother wouldn't have been able to swim as much or enjoy herself as much. Thank you very much.

母が９月で８０歳になるお祝いに家族７人で参加しました。
ウェットスーツを着るのも、シュノーケルや足ひれをつけるのも、野生のイルカに出会えたのも、何もかも初体験。母の嬉しそうな水中での笑顔の写真を帰宅して早速見返しています。
スタッフのユミコさんには、本当にお世話になりました。ユミコさんのお気遣いがなければ、母は、あんなに泳げなかったし楽しめなかったと思います。本当にありがとうございました。

It was a bit cloudy, but we were able to see a beautiful sandbar and encountered a few sea turtles.

Unfortunately, the snorkeling time was a bit short, and I didn't get to see any fish while diving, which was disappointing.

In the end, we ate sandwiches on the way back, but the only drink available was tea...

However, you definitely should visit the sandbar! It was amazing.

少し曇りがちでしたが、綺麗なサンドバーが見れて、
数匹のウミガメに遭遇できました。

シュノーケルは、少し時間が短かったのと、潜っても
お魚に逢えなかったのが残念でした。

最後、サンドイッチを食べながら帰るのですが、
飲み物はお茶しかなかったです…

でも、サンドバーは是非行くべき！です☆感動しました。

We participated as a family of seven, ranging from 8 months to 67 years old. Everyone had a great time. It's a good plan.

家族７人で参加しました
８ヶ月~６７才までです
全員が楽しめました
いいプランです

I was able to see some truly wonderful scenery. We had to leave the hotel at 6 AM when it was still dark, but I’m glad I woke up early!

The captain and the crew greeted us warmly, and as soon as we boarded the boat, a rainbow (a double rainbow!) appeared overhead, instantly dispelling any worries I had! The sunrise from the boat was also incredibly beautiful.

The distance to the Na Pali Coast is quite significant. We picked up speed more than I expected as we headed toward our destination. My body lifted off the seat several times! As someone who loves roller coasters, I really enjoyed it. I was completely absorbed in the scenery passing by.

We zoomed to the turnaround point, and from there, we enjoyed the breathtaking views of the Na Pali Coast while the crew provided explanations. We even got close to the sea caves along the coastline. We were able to see waterfalls in various spots as well.

After enjoying the Na Pali Coast, we headed toward Niihau Island. This also involved quite a distance! We moved through the deep blue sea. There were many birds flying around. As I watched, I saw a bird dive into the water to catch a fish! Watching the birds glide between the waves was mesmerizing.

As we approached the crater next to Niihau Island, the color of the sea became more and more beautiful. I was excited to think, “Can we swim here!?” At the snorkeling spot, we discovered a sea monk! Although I didn’t see it underwater, its little head popping out of the sea was incredibly cute. We were able to see many fish and corals.

The crew on the boat shared various stories with us. They answered our questions politely. I think the cheerful captain and friendly crew really enhanced this activity.

Finally, we zoomed back from Niihau Island to Kauai Island, bouncing quite a bit along the way. The splashes were intense, so it might be a good idea to have a windbreaker. Sitting on the edge, I got splashed so much that I couldn’t keep my eyes open. At first, it was fun, but after an hour, it became a bit troublesome!

For those who want adventure and to feel the great outdoors, definitely give this a try!!! I truly experienced the deep blue sea and felt like I was in a hidden paradise.

とってもすばらしい景色を見ることができました。
6時チェックインとまだ真っ暗ななかホテルを出発することになりましたが、
早起きして良かった！と思います。

キャプテン、船のクルーがフレンドリーにお迎えしてくれて、
上船したらなんと虹(ダブルレインボー)が頭上に現れ、
すぐに不安はふっとびました！笑船からの朝日もとてもきれいです。

ナパリコーストまでは結構距離があります。
予想以上にスピードをだして、目的のポイントまで向かいます。
なんども体が中に浮きました＾＾；ジェットコースターが好きな私は楽しめました。
終始通り過ぎていく景色に夢中でした。

びゅーーーんと折り返し地点まで向かい、そこからはゆっくりと説明を加えながら
ナパリコーストの絶景を楽しめます。
海岸沿いにできているシーケーブ(洞窟)にも接近してもらえました。
いろいろなところに滝をみることもできました。

ナパリコーストを楽しんだら、ニーハウ島へ向かいます。
これもまたかなりの移動距離！真っ青な海のなかを進んでいきます。
鳥がたくさん飛んでいました。ぼーっと観ていたら鳥が海の中に入っていき魚を捕まえていました！
波の合間をすーーと飛んでいく鳥は見ていてあきません。

ニーハウ島の横にできているクレーターに近づくとどんどん海の色がきれいになってきます。
ここで泳げるの！？とテンションは上がり、
シュノーケルスポットではシーモンクを発見！
海中では見られなかったけど海水から頭をぽこっとだした姿はとてもかわいらしかったです。
たくさんの魚やサンゴをみることができました。

船上のクルーはいろいろな話をしてくれます。質問をしたら丁寧に答えてくれます。
愉快なキャプテンとフレンドリーなクルーがこのアクティビティを
盛り上げてくれたと思います。

最後はニーハウ島からカウアイ島までもびゅーーーーんとかなり揺れながら帰って行きます。
スプラッシュもすごいので、ウィンドブレーカーがあればいいかもしれません。
ふちに座ると目が開けられないほどのスプラッシュにかかります。
最初は楽しんでいましたが、1時間も続くと少しやっかいです＾＾；笑

冒険したい方、大自然を感じたい方！ぜひ参加してみてください！！！
真っ青な海を体感できました。本当に秘境にで

On August 19, I participated with my family of four. It was tough getting up early, but we started with the first malasada, and the day was packed with activities! When we saw wild dolphins in the water, the kids were so excited. We also spotted a sea turtle, but we were too busy with activities like paddleboarding and missed it. Next time, we'll focus on the dolphins and sea turtles (laughs). The staff were very kind, and we were extremely satisfied. Of course, I slept like a log on the bus ride back...

8月19日に家族4人で参加しました。
朝が早いので大変ですが、朝一のマラサダから始まり
内容盛りだくさん！あっと言う間の一日です。
水中で野生のイルカを見たときには子供たちも大はしゃぎでした。
ウミガメも見つけましたが、パドルボード等のアクティビティーに忙しくて見逃してしましました。
次回はイルカとウミガメに徹します（笑
スタッフの方々もとても親切で大満足でした。
無論帰りのバスは爆睡でしたが。。。

I had some anxiety about the announcements being in English only, but on that day, there happened to be a Japanese group with us, and the guide translated for us, so there were no problems at all.

Kealakekua Bay was amazing. The sea was so beautiful that my 7-year-old and 4-year-old said it was the most fun they’ve ever had. Even my husband, who isn’t very comfortable in the water, really enjoyed it. The slide was quite high and not suitable for small children, but my older child took on the challenge. I tried it too, but... young guys were sliding down like crazy.

The hamburgers for lunch were delicious, and the boat didn’t rock too much, which was great. Unfortunately, we didn’t get to see any dolphins, but we will definitely go again next time. I highly recommend it.

英語のアナウンスのみと言うことで多少の不安がありましたがこの日はたまたま日本の団体が一緒でガイドさんが通訳してくれたので何の問題もありませんでした。

ケアラクア湾は最高でした。
とにかく海が綺麗で７歳と４歳の子供達も一番楽しかったと言ってます。
あまり海が得意でない夫もとっても楽しんでました。
滑り台は結構な高さがあり、小さい子には不向きですが上の子はチャレンジしてました。私もやりましたが・・・・
若い男子がガンガンすべってました。
お昼のハンバーガーもおいしくて船もあまり揺れず、よかったです。
残念ながらイルカには会えなかったけど次もまた絶対行きます。お勧めです。

I went with my 6-year-old and 4-year-old, and both of them enjoyed floating in the sea. The activities were enjoyable for the kids as well. We were the only Japanese people there, but it wasn't a problem at all. Grandpa just watched, but the boat was large enough to provide shade, so waiting was comfortable.

６歳と４歳の子供連れでしたが、二人とも海でぷかぷか。
子供にも楽しめる内容でした。
日本人は私達だけですが、特に問題はなかったです。
ジージは見ているだけなのですが、船が大きいので日陰があり
待つのも安心でした。
