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>

Beautiful sea キレイな海

Reviewed by: まき

I used this service for my honeymoon. We started by going out to sea on a boat, first heading to the sandbar where we enjoyed beach volleyball, snorkeling practice, and taking photos. After that, we had hamburgers on the boat and moved to a snorkeling spot.

The luggage could be stored under the seats on the boat. Since you'll be getting wet when taking towels or accessing your belongings after coming out of the water, I recommend bringing a bag that can get wet. For changing, I wore my swimsuit underneath, so I stored the clothes I wore on the boat under the seat. A bag that can hold clothes without getting them wet would be ideal.

The water at the sandbar was waist-deep, and I had a great time. The color of the water clearly distinguished between the sandbar and the deeper areas, which made it easy to enjoy. The crew really pumped up the excitement during beach volleyball, making it a lot of fun. The hamburgers were delicious and served BBQ style. Soft drinks were unlimited as part of the tour fee, while alcohol was $8 per drink, and those who had drinks settled their bills at the end of the tour.

We were able to see many sea turtles and mantas during our travels. It seems that mantas might not be visible at certain times, so we were lucky to see them twice. We snorkeled near the coral and saw many beautifully colored fish. Although I didn't see any, some people did spot turtles. The crew's explanation of snorkeling was very easy to understand, so even beginners will be fine.

After getting off the boat, we had to return to it on our own, so I think it's safer for anyone not confident in their stamina to wear a life jacket to enjoy the experience without worry. After returning from snorkeling, the crew pours warm water over you. There are no changing rooms or showers after the tour, so it's a good idea to quickly change in the restroom before it gets cold or to wrap yourself in a thicker towel.

ハネムーンで利用しました。
船で海に出て最初はサンドバーへ行き、ビーチバレーや、シュノーケリングの練習、写真撮影等楽しみました。そのあと船の上でハンバーガーを食べ、シュノーケリングスポットに移動しました。
荷物は船の座席の下に収納できるようになっていました。
海から上がってきて濡れた状態でタオルをとったり荷物を出し入れするので濡れてもいいカバンを持って行くのがいいと思います。
着替えは下に水着を着て行くので船の上で着ていた服を脱いで席の下に収納します。濡れないように服も入れられる大きさのカバンがいいと思います。
サンドバーは水面が腰あたりでしたがとても楽しめました。水の色がサンドバーのところと深いところとはっきりわかれているので安心して楽しめました。
ビーチバレーはクルーの方がとても盛り上げてくれ楽しかったです。
ハンバーガーはBBQスタイルで美味しかったです。
ソフトドリンクはツアーの料金内で飲み放題、アルコールは1杯8ドルで飲んだ方はツアーの最後にまとめてお会計されていました。
移動中にウミガメやマンタをたくさん見ることができました。
マンタは時期によっては見れないこともあるそうで2回も見れてラッキーとのことでした。
シュノーケリングはサンゴの近くに行って行いました。
キレイな色のお魚がたくさん見れました。
私は見れませんでしたがカメが見れた人もいました。
クルーの方のシュノーケリングの説明はとてもわかりやすかったので初めてでも大丈夫です。
船から出てからは自分たちで船に戻らないといけないので体力に自信がある方以外はライフジャケットを着た方が安心して楽しめると思います。
シュノーケリングから戻ったらクルーの方が温かいお湯を上からかけてくれます。
終了後更衣室やシャワー室はないので寒くなる前にトイレ等でささっと着替えるか上から厚めのバスタオルを羽織るといいと思います。

Reviewed by: ちゅんたん

It was a very fun atmosphere! It was a bit cold, and we ended up leaving early, but they gave us warm cocoa and poured hot water on us, which helped ease the chill a bit! We also got to see sea turtles and manta rays! It was enjoyable to see small fish up close too! It turned out to be a great honeymoon! Thank you! Lastly, there was a tip box at the end, so it felt like we should put in a little something.

とても楽しい雰囲気でよかった!少し寒くて、はやめにあがってしまったけど、暖かいココアくれたり、お湯をかけてくれたりしてくれて、少し寒さ軽減!

2.5-Hour Turtle Snorkel Sail Tour from Waikiki Beach - Cold Brew Coffee, Snacks & One Drink Included

Do it!

Reviewed by: Jharm

Our family tried to avoid spending too much money on our Hawaii vacation. But since swimming and snorkeling in the heavenly water is something we all love and can agree on we decided to find a snorkel boat tour. Soo glad we did! The Mana Kai crew were fun, helpful and comforting. We saw so many fish and turtles. It was an awesome experience and would do it again in a heart beat!

I didn't understand Japanese at all. 日本語は全くでしたね

Reviewed by: yoshiki&tomomi

Let's join this tour with an open mind, haha!

First, the staff arrived about 20 minutes late from the meeting time! Well, since the other participants didn't complain, I'll take it as a good sign.

Also, once we got on the boat, there was a long explanation, but it was all in English! (By the way, the email we received right before also came in English, so I used a translation app to understand the content.)

Anyway, after listening to the explanation, we dove in! We saw so many turtles, it was amazing!

On the way back, we even encountered dolphins. It would have been perfect if I understood English, but I still had a great time!

このツアーはおおらかな気持ちで参加しましょう笑
まず、集合時間から20分ぐらい遅れでスタッフさん登場!まぁ他の参加者の方も文句は言ってなかったので良しとします
あと、船に乗ってから説明が長々とありましたが、全部英語!(ちなみに直前に来る案内メールも英語なので翻訳アプリで訳して内容理解しました)
まぁなんとなく説明も聞いてからのダイブ!
亀はこれでもかっ!ってぐらいに会えました。
あと、帰りの船でイルカにも遭遇
英語さえわかれば最高!じゃなくても楽しめました!

The staff members cheerfully dispel any worries with their smiles and conversations, creating a fun atmosphere. I was able to see the honu (sea turtles) as well, and I was especially moved by the beauty of the white sand and blue sea. There's no need to hold back, even if you're older; it's enjoyable!

Fabulous day out

Reviewed by: Cathy

It was not the best weather day… raining but it cleared when we boarded the boat to Kaneohe bay. The trip was pleasant with warm welcoming, music, and a light but satisfying breakfast. The crew were amazing. So helpful and very knowledgeable and safety conscientious.
The snorkeling was beyond our expectations and the day out on the sandbar was such fun with the crew being extremely attentive to our needs.
We had an amazing day . Can’t wait to do it again

4.5-Hour Napali Coast Sunset Cruise Dinner & Open Bar - Holo Holo Catamaran Sail

Fun but very bumpy and wet

Reviewed by: Tracy

The boat itself was nice and the crew were lovely. Thankfully there was a place to hide slightly from the waves but it's also where the sea sickness gets really bad. My 14 son started to not feel well then a lady across from him got sick so that didn't help.

When they say it's an "adventure and you WILL get wet" they aren't lying. There were huge ups and downs and everyone was soaked.

The food was good and again the crew was lovely.

Definitly not a "smooth dinner cruise"

I was not sure what to expect but I was very pleased with this experience. The crew was very pleasant, patient and knowledgable. They were very patient with some older guests and made sure they were safe and comfortable.
We ended up meeting several other boats so we had a lot of plankton for the Manta. Those beautiful fish did not disappoint! Although touching the manta is prohibited, they come close enough to touch! Bring your underwater camera for some great pictures and video memories!

Great tour, great crew, everything is perfect

Reviewed by: Chen

The ship is comfy, they also provide drinks.
Snorkeling spot is great, saw sea turtles and of course a lot of fishes.
We were very lucky to see 4 spots of dolphins swimming just around us and jumping and spinning.
Great crew, very friendly and helpful.
We brought 2 babies (18 months) with us, they also had a great time, could tell from their face :)

Attending a private tour allowed us to set out immediately for the dolphins when spotted them. Will def. choose to do private tour again next time.

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>

A neck-mounted waterproof case is a good idea. 首掛けの防水ケースはあったほうがいい。

Reviewed by: つちのこ

A waterproof case is essential for taking photos and videos. It's also better to use a neck strap. There was someone in the same group who dropped their smartphone into the sea while it was in their pocket. The guide searched for it that day but couldn't find it, and they mentioned they would look for it again during tomorrow's tour, but it's unclear if it was found.

The tour was satisfying. There were two boats, and we were divided into English and Japanese groups. First, we practiced snorkeling at the sandbar. The sandbar was about waist-deep for adults. After that, we drove the boat through an area where sea turtles live. We were able to see about five sea turtles, and it was great to see them come up to the surface. Finally, we put on fins and flotation devices and swam around the coral. With the flotation devices, there was no worry about sinking, and it was nice to see tropical fish.

For lunch, we had hamburgers after swimming at the sandbar. The meat was large, flavorful, and delicious. The hamburger tasted especially good after swimming.

写真や動画を取るために防水ケースは必須。
また、首掛けタイプにしたほうがいいです。
同じ組にポケットにいれて、スマホを海中に落とされた方がいらしたので。
当日ガイドが探したが見つからず、ガイドの方が明日のツアー中にも探すと言ってましたが、見つかったかは不明。

ツアーは満足。
船は2隻で英語組と日本語組に分かれてツアーをしました。
まず初めにサンドバーでシュノーケリングの練習。
サンドバーは大人で腰くらいの高さ。
そのあと船を走らせウミガメがすんでるところを通ります。
ウミガメは5頭ぐらい見れて、首を海面に出すとこも見れてよかった。
最後に足ひれと浮き具を着てサンゴの周りを泳ぎます。
浮き具があるので、沈む心配はないし、熱帯魚も見れてよかった。

昼食はサンドバーで泳いだ後にハンバーガーをいただきました。
肉が大きくて味もしっかりしていておいしかった。
泳いだ後のハンバーガーはおいしく感じます。

  • ランチのハンバーガー。ミネストローネとフルーツとポテチもあります。

  • 革状シートなので、帰りのバスは水着が濡れてても大丈夫

  • ウミガメ見れました。

  • サンゴの周り。熱帯魚がいっぱいいました。サンゴは結構大きかったです。

ウミガメシュノーケリング ホロカイ・カタマラン号 高確率でウミガメに会えるタートルキャニオンへ!ソフトドリンク&スナック付き<3時間/英語/ワイキキホテル発>

I was able to see sea turtles! ウミガメもみれました!

Reviewed by: あん

First of all, I want to point out that all explanations from the reception until the end were in English. There was no broken Japanese, so those who can't speak English have to tough it out... (laughs) However, they conveyed the important parts through gestures, so I was able to understand somewhat.

Whether it was the location or just luck, we were able to see a lot of sea turtles. I left my smartphone on the boat, so I couldn't take any pictures, but having a water-resistant camera would be even better.

After snorkeling, we went sailing, and the sailing time was longer than I expected (laughs). Many people ended up feeling seasick, so motion sickness medication is a must.

That said, it was a course where we could enjoy beautiful fish, sea turtles, and the atmosphere of Hawaii on the boat, and I had a great time!

まず初めに注意して頂きたいのが、受付から解散までずっと英語での説明です。カタコト日本語とかも無いので英語ができない人は気合いで乗り切るしかありません…(笑)ただ重要な部分はジェスチャーで伝えてくれたのでなんとなくは理解することが出来ました。日本人参加者は私たち以外にいなかったので、他の参加者の方に聞くこともできませんでした…。

場所が良かったのか、運が良かったのか、ウミガメもたくさん見ることができました。スマホは船上に置いてきてしまったので撮影はできなかったのですが、水濡れOKのカメラがあるとなおいいかもしれません。

シュノーケリングが終わったあとはセーリングなのですが、セーリングの時間が思った以上に長いです(笑)船酔いしてしまう人が続出だったので、酔い止めは必須です。

とはいえ、綺麗な魚もウミガメも船上でハワイの風などの雰囲気も楽しめるコースとなっており、とても満喫出来ました!

The weather was nice on the day of the trip, but the air conditioning on the bus was so strong that it felt cold. After boarding the boat with the sound bar, I quickly understood the guide's explanation.

At first, we practiced snorkeling, then slowly peered into the water and realized I was surrounded by small fish. After that, we enjoyed watching sea turtles and dolphins.

It was really great!

Kaneohe Sandbar Tour with Snorkel, Kayak, SUP & Live Hawaiian Music - Kaneohe Bay Ocean Sports

Fantastic tour! Will definitely come back when we visit Oahu again!

Reviewed by: Chenwei

This tour is impressive. We two adults and one kid (5 years old) really enjoyed the tour. There are roughly 3 hours from leaving and back to the wharf, including the round trips (20 minutes), preparation and cleaning (20 minutes), and the total number at Sand bar for playing is about 2 hours 20 minutes, which is enough for playing kayak, paddle board, snookering, volleyball, and relaxing.

The place itself is safe. KBOS assigned one or two staffs for each kind of activity, and they provide help for whoever needs it. The water depth was 3~4 ft when we were there, and the staff said the water depth is 2~5 ft depending on the tides. Little kids friendly as long as they are not sacred of swimming.

Simple lunch and drink were provided. Live music on the boat. The staffs are really helpful and friendly. Highly recommend!

We self drive from Waikiki, which took us about 40 minutes before the lunch time. There are a lot of parking spots.

We will come back when we visit Oahu again.

It was my sixth-grade daughter's second time snorkeling in her life, but perhaps because of her bad experience during her first time, I had to somewhat forcefully encourage her to participate. However, from the moment we were picked up, the staff were kind and taught us patiently, which allowed her to enjoy it with peace of mind. She said it was the most fun she had during this trip! It has become my favorite memory as well. Thank you very much!

小学6年生の娘にとって人生で二度目のシュノーケリングでしたが、初めて体験した時のイメージが悪かったせいか、嫌がる娘を半ば強引に誘っての参加でした。

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>

A wonderful experience. すばらしい体験

Reviewed by: ぱぺ

We participated as a family with a 12-year-old and a 6-year-old. The transportation was provided by a small bus with a Japanese-speaking driver to our hotel. It took about 30 minutes to the port, and then we arrived at the destination in about 15 minutes by a small ferry. The captain was very kind, stopping when we spotted sea turtles or when a guest's hat fell into the sea.

I had imagined the location to be a sandy beach, but it was a shallow area about 100 cm deep, so the 6-year-old needed a float. For water activities, there were floats, a small boat with windows to observe the seabed, and paddleboards. After playing for about an hour, those who wanted to went snorkeling.

Snorkeling is generally recommended for those who can swim on their own, but you can also hold onto the instructor's board for assistance. The instructions were provided on the boat with Japanese interpretation. Since putting on the mask can be a bit tricky, it might be smoother if you research it in advance. The 12-year-old accidentally swallowed some seawater and felt a bit sick later.

Under the sea, we could clearly see fish, corals, and sea turtles. Onboard, snacks, canned drinks, coffee, tea, and hot chocolate were freely available. Bringing your own food was also allowed. After playing in the sea, it can get a bit chilly, so it's advisable to bring a bath towel or a jacket. Don't forget to bring tips as well.

Overall, it was a wonderful experience.

12歳、6歳の子供を含む家族で参加しました。 送迎はホテルまで小さなバスで日本語堪能な方がしてくださいました。
港まで30分ほど、港から小型フェリーで現地まで15分ほどで現地到着でした。 船長は海面にウミガメが見えるときや、お客の帽子が海に落下した時に止まってくださったり大変親切な方でした。
現地は砂浜をイメージしていたのですが、100cmほどの深さの浅瀬で6歳の子は浮き輪が必要でした。
海遊びは浮き輪、海底が観察できる窓つきの小さなボート、パドルボードがあります。1時間ほど遊んだ後、希望者はシュノーケリングに行きました。
シュノーケリングは基本的に自身で泳げる方が推奨ですが、インストラクターのボードにつかまってつれてっていただくこともできます。
説明は船上で日本語通訳付きでしてくださいます。マスクの付け方がちょっと難しいので事前に調べておいた方がスムーズかもしれません。12歳の子は海水をちょっと飲んでしまい、後で気持ち悪くなっていました。
海の中は魚たち、サンゴ、ウミガメがばっちり見えましたよ。
船内はスナック、缶ジュース、コーヒー、紅茶、ホットチョコレートなど自由にいただけます。持ちこみも可です。
海で遊んだ後は少々寒いので、バスタオルや上着は持っていった方が良いでしょう。
チップも忘れずに持っていきましょう。
全体にすばらしい体験でした。

Sandbar was the best experience we had in Hawaii!!

Reviewed by: Lala

Me and my husband did several activities in the Big Island and Oahu and the experience we had in the Sandbar was the best out of all. The reservation was easy and the staffs/crews on the boat were very friendly. They delivered the information and guideline very well and were willing to help. Kayaking was so fun and relaxing and snorkeling was amazing(I can't swim but the life vest they provided helped me to explore the ocean). We saw more fish than we did at Hanauma Bay. I definitely recommend this activity to everyone who visits Oahu. Next time I go, I would bring a jacket or an extra beach towel with me because I felt a little cold on the way back(They give you hot tea to help).

Kaneohe Bay Kayak & Snorkel Self-Guided Tour [Tour Not Available]

Must do experience in Oahu

Reviewed by: Tom

If you're looking for an experience where you can enjoy the waters of Oahu, have a chance to swim with Hawaiian green sea turtles, and want to take in the breathtaking views of the island then this is the tour to take. The staff is very friendly, and they'll give you tips on where to go.

Take the staff's recommendation to rent an anchor ($5) and a dry bag ($5). That way you can ensure your kayak will stay put and your things stay dry

The 4 hour trip was plenty to explore both major coral reef spots. The sandbar was recommended if you're looking to relax.

Reviewed by: pote

If you're expecting a sandbar where you can walk when the tide goes out, it might be a bit different. Still, I had a wonderful and elegant time with cheerful instructors, including some Japanese, and enjoyed live music on the boat.

There was a raft near the snorkeling, kayaking, and SUP spots, and spending time sunbathing while enjoying the view from there was fantastic.

While being pulled on a banana boat, I happened to see a sea turtle swimming nearby!

いわゆる、潮が引いて歩けるサンドバーを期待すると、ちょっと違うかもしれません。
それでも日本人も含む、陽気なインストラクターさんと、船内は生演奏の音楽もあってとても気持ちがよく優雅な時間を過ごせました。

シュノーケル、カヤック、SUPスポットの近くにイカダがあって、その上で景色を眺めながら日向ぼっこをしている時間も最高でした。

バナナボートに乗って引っ張られている最中、たまたまですが、ぷかぷか泳いでいるウミガメを見ることもできました!

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>

I was able to experience the thrill of swimming with turtles. カメと泳ぐ感動を味わえました。

Reviewed by: あさこ

The driver who picked us up introduced us to the shops along the way, so we arrived at our destination in no time. The staff at Captain Bruce's were very kind and cheerful, and they provided support in Japanese. They explained all the dangerous parts of the marine activities in Japanese, which made us feel safe while having fun. There was also a staff member who explained things in a charming Kansai dialect, which was delightful. We were able to swim with turtles, and the view of the mountains from the sea was incredibly beautiful. It was a precious sight.

On the boat, there were hot drinks, canned juices, snacks, fruits, and spam rice balls. The rice balls and Swissmiss after swimming were very delicious. There are no changing rooms, so getting into the air-conditioned shuttle with wet swimsuits can be quite chilly. It was necessary to bring a few larger towels to use as blankets. It was that cold. It's better not to bring valuables, but since tips are not included, it was necessary to prepare cash for the tip boxes on the boat and in the shuttle.

送迎のドライバーさんは、道沿いにあるお店の紹介をしながら運転してくれるので、現地にはあっという間に着きました。キャプテンブルースの方々はとても親切で明るく、日本語のサポートもあり、マリンアクティビティの危険な所も全て日本語で説明してくれたので、安心して遊ぶことができました。謎に関西弁で説明するスタッフさんがいて癒されました。カメと泳ぐことも出来、海から見る山々がとても綺麗でした。貴重な景色です。
船内ではホットドリンクや缶ジュース、スナック・フルーツ・スパムおにぎりがあり、泳いだ後のおにぎりとSwissmissはとても美味しかったです。更衣室がないので、濡れたままの水着でエアコンの効いた送迎車に乗るのは体が冷えます。大きめタオルを何枚か持って行ってブランケット代わりにする必要がありました。そのくらい寒いです。貴重品は持参しない方が良いですが、チップが含まれていないので、船内にあるチップボックスと、送迎車内にあるチップボックスに入れるお札は準備が必要でした。

ハナウマ湾シュノーケリング ベテラン日本語ガイドがご案内する少人数制ツアー 貸切プランあり<半日/水中写真付き>

It's worth it, even if it's a bit expensive! 少々高くても価値あり!

Reviewed by: やえ

I participated alone, but I had a great time.

The two instructors, Dan and Chieko, were very polite and kind, and they took good care of us, so I was able to join without any anxiety. I was very satisfied because we got to snorkel for a full hour at great spots. The tour was conducted entirely in Japanese, so even those who can't speak English at all can feel at ease.

When I went ten years ago, there was no need to make a reservation for Hanauma Bay, so I went there by TheBus on my own. However, I heard that making a reservation is very difficult now, and I was half resigned to that. But I really wanted to see that beautiful ocean, and even though I thought it might be a bit expensive, I’m glad I went. I'm considering asking for this again the next time I come to Hawaii.

Thank you very much.

1人で参加しましたがとても楽しめました。

インストラクターのお2人ダンさん、ちえこさんもとても丁寧で優しくて気にかけてくれたので全く不安なく参加できましたし、良いスポットを1時間たっぷりシュノーケリングで回れたので大満足でした。ツアーは終始日本語なので英語が全くできない人でも安心です。

10年前に行った時はハナウマ湾への予約の必要がなかったので自分でTheBusで行ってましたが、今は予約を取るのがとても大変と聞いて半分諦めてました。でもどうしてもあの綺麗な海に行きたくてちょっと高いかなと思ったけどやっぱり行って良かったです。また次にハワイに来た時もお願いしようかなと思っています。

ありがとうございました。

Reviewed by: 杏柚ママ

The weather was nice on the day of the trip, the sea was beautiful, and I was able to see a lot of fish. The English guide was very kind, but if you can't speak English, you won't know the meeting place and time for the return. It would be very helpful if you could provide guidance in Japanese using a whiteboard or notes.

当日はお天気も良くて、海が綺麗で魚めたくさん見られました。英語ガイドさんはとても親切でしたが、英語が話せないと帰りの待ち合わせ場所や時間が分かりません。
ホワイトボードやメモなど日本語で案内してもらえるととっても助かります。

After the experience

The pickup time was perfectly on Japanese time, and the driver, Tomo, was a very friendly and handsome young man who spoke Japanese very well! The local staff member, Emi, was also a very kind and easy-to-talk-to Japanese woman! The explanations about Kailua and Lanikai Beach were clear and helpful, so everything was great! The beautiful sea and good weather allowed us to relax! I was very satisfied with the delicious pizza and boxed lunch for lunch! I was also happy to receive a gift and get some souvenirs! I definitely want to participate again! Thank you very much!

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>

Beautiful sea and tropical fish. 綺麗な海と熱帯魚

Reviewed by: harusun

The weather was unfortunate, as it was cloudy and rainy, making it cold to enter the sea. However, the support from the guide was wonderful, and I was able to participate comfortably. The captain, like a behind-the-scenes supporter, made charcoal-grilled hamburgers, and during the sea turtle watching, he skillfully guided the boat. I think it would have been perfect if the weather had been nice, but I still enjoyed seeing the beautiful coral and swimming tropical fish.

天気は残念で曇ってたら、雨が降ったりと海に入るのにも寒かったのですが、ガイドの方のフォローが素晴らしく、気持ち良く参加できました。縁の下の力持ち的にキャプテンが炭火焼きのハンバーガーを作ってくれたり、ウミガメウォッチングでは上手く船を誘導してくれてました。
天気が良かったら最高だとは思いますが、綺麗な珊瑚と泳ぐ熱帯魚を見て楽しめました。

イルカ中学 野生のイルカ&ウミガメシュノーケリングクルーズ 高速ボートでイルカ遭遇率アップ!<少人数制/ワイキキ&コオリナ送迎可/日本語/ランチ付き>

It was amazing. 最高でした

Reviewed by: ネロくん

It was my first participation since Dolphin University in 2019. Dolphin University has a large number of participants and a big boat, but Dolphin Junior High has fewer participants, so the boat is smaller, and those who are prone to seasickness should be careful. Also, since there are no snacks provided for the junior high tour, it might be a good idea to bring something to eat on the bus ride back. Additionally, even in summer, the water temperature can be low, so those who get cold easily should consider renting a wetsuit for comfort.

On the day of the tour, the weather was perfect, and the breeze on the boat from the port was pleasant. I was able to snorkel up close with dolphins, sea turtles, and many fish, which was amazing. I would love to participate again.

2019年のイルカ大学以来の参加でした。イルカ大学は大人数で船も大きいのですが、イルカ中学は少人数なので船も小さく、酔いやすい方は注意が必要ですね。また、中学の場合は軽食が付いていないので、帰りのバスのなかで食べられるものを持っていった方がいいかもしれません。あと、夏場でも水温が低いので、寒がりの方はウェットスーツを借りた方が安心です。
ツアー当日は天気も最高で、港からの船上も風が心地よく、イルカやウミガメをはじめ、多くの魚たちと間近でシュノーケリングできて最高でした。また参加したいです。
