Hawaii
Swimming with sharks was an experience I honestly couldn't imagine at all, and I felt a bit anxious about it. However, after being introduced to it by a friend, I decided to take the plunge and give it a try.
I was really nervous right up until the moment I entered the water, but once I was in the ocean, I found that the sharks swam gracefully and calmly. Being able to swim alongside them and see them up close turned out to be a very enjoyable experience.
The speed at which they swam was not as fast as I had expected, and I was able to swim right above them. While it was thrilling, the sense of awe I felt was much greater than any fear, making it an unforgettable time.
The tour was conducted in English only, but the staff occasionally spoke to us in Japanese, which made me feel more at ease. Additionally, I had heard from friends who participated in other tours that they had trouble receiving their photos, but in this tour, the photos were sent immediately after we arrived at the port, making the process very smooth. (There were no issues even with an Android phone.)
サメと一緒に泳ぐという体験は、正直なところまったく想像がつかず、少し不安もありましたが、友達に紹介してもらったことをきっかけに思い切って挑戦しました。
直前までとてもドキドキしていましたが、いざ海に入ってみると、サメはとても悠々と落ち着いて泳いでいて、その姿を間近で見ながら一緒に泳ぐことができ、とても楽しい体験となりました。
泳ぐスピードも思っていたほど速くなく、サメのすぐ上を並んで泳ぐこともできました。迫力はありつつも、怖さよりも感動の方が大きく、忘れられない時間になりました。
ツアーは英語のみでしたが、スタッフの方が時折日本語を交えながら話しかけてくださり、安心して参加することができました。
また、他のツアーに参加した友達からは、写真の送付がなかなか届かないといったトラブルを聞いていましたが、このツアーでは港に到着後すぐに写真を送信してくださり、とてもスムーズでした。(携帯の機種がAndroidでも問題ありませんでした。)
I recommend taking motion sickness medication. Also, since it's not a very large ship, I think it's best to keep your luggage compact.
酔い止めを飲むことをお勧めします。
またあまり大きな船ではないので、荷物はコンパクトにしておくのがよいと思います。
The scenery and the driver were great, but during this time of year, it gets quite cold in the early morning, so I wouldn't recommend it too much. It was so cold that I could only swim a little. I envied those who went in the afternoon. I wish they would at least schedule the tours in the afternoon during winter.
景色もドライバーさんも良かったが、この時期は朝早くは冷えるのであまりオススメではないです。寒いので少ししか泳げませんでした。昼から行ってる人が羨ましかったです。
せめて冬はツアーを昼からで組んでほしい。
I enjoyed snorkeling. There were fish swimming right there, and it was amazing! I guess it's because of the conservation efforts.
The weather was also great, making it a lifelong memory. However, there was a lack of information, so I ended up going far away without knowing where the restrooms and showers were.
シュノーケリングを楽しみました。
もう、すぐそこに魚が泳いでいて、感動!
保護管理がなされている為なのでしょうね。
天気にも恵まれ、一生の思い出になりました。
インフォメーションが少なめなので、トイレやシャワーの場所が分からず、遠いところへ行ってしまいました。
It's definitely one of the places you should visit! While on the bus, you can watch the mandatory orientation video before entering, which makes everything smooth. I'm glad I participated.
是非行ってみてほしい場所の一つです!
移動のバスの中で、入場するにあたって視聴必須の案内ビデオも視聴が出来るのでスムーズです。
参加して良かったです。
I attended in mid-January, and it was cloudy and quite cold that day. It must be beautiful when it's sunny, but since it was cloudy, I left early.
There is no hot water in the showers. However, there’s no doubt that the sea is beautiful, and I think the facilities are well-equipped. You can also see colorful and relatively large fish in the shallow waters!
一月中頃に参加しましたが、この日は曇っておりかなり寒かった。きっと晴れていたら綺麗なんだろうけど、曇っていたので早めに退散してしまいました。
シャワーは温水はありません。
ただ海が綺麗なことは間違いないし設備としては整っていると思います。カラフルで割と大きめな魚も浅瀬で見れます!
As mentioned above, it can be cold on certain days, so please be careful.
上記の通り日によっては寒いのでお気をつけください
It was a surprisingly chilly morning for Hawaii. Initially, we signed up without needing wetsuits, but the day before, our guide contacted us and advised that it would be quite cold in the morning, so it would be better to wear wetsuits. My husband and I, both over sixty, along with our daughter, participated in the tour. From the pick-up to entering the bay and snorkeling, our guide was with us the entire time. While our daughter is experienced, it was our first time, and I personally had some physical limitations, which made me anxious at first. However, thanks to the guide's help and instruction, I was able to get used to breathing and managed to complete an hour of snorkeling. It was truly a valuable experience. I highly recommend this tour to those who have never tried it before, so don't hesitate to join as a beginner!
ハワイにしては冷え込む朝で当初ウェットスーツ不要で申し込みしたが前日にガイドさんから連絡いただき、当日朝相当寒くなるのでウェットスーツ着用した方が良いとアドバイスもらい私ら還暦過ぎの夫婦と娘1人ので3人で参加しました、送迎から入湾、シュノーケルまでガイドさんが付きっきりで対応してくれました,娘は経験者ですが私ら夫婦は初体験だった更に私は身体的ハンディがあり初めは不安で一般でしたがガイドさんのヘルプと指導により呼吸には慣れが必要ですが何とか1時間やり切ることが出来ました。本当に貴重な体験をすることができました。未体験の方は初心者だと臆せずに
このツアーに参加されることをお勧めします。
Wetsuits are not only good for protection against cold and injuries, but they also help with buoyancy in the water, so it's advisable to wear them.
ウェットスーツは寒さ怪我対策だけで無く,水中の浮力の助けになるので着用が良いでしょう。
Thank you for participating in the tour. It's winter in Hawaii now, so the water temperature is at its coldest during this season. Wearing a wetsuit is very effective for warmth, and especially for those who are new to snorkeling, it helps with ease of swimming and buoyancy. You all did a great job with your breathing, so next time you might be able to swim smoothly on your own without holding my hand. The first time snorkeling can feel the most challenging, but with each attempt, you will become more accustomed and skilled. I look forward to seeing everyone again on the tour when you come back to Hawaii. I was really happy that you all persevered until the end. Thank you very much. Mahalo!
この度はツアーにご参加いただき、ありがとうございました。ハワイも今が冬ですので、水温は一年の内で一番冷たいシーズンです。保温のためにも、また特にシュノーケリングが初めての方には泳ぎ易さや浮力の確保のためにもウェットスーツはとても有効なんですよ。呼吸は皆様とてもお上手でしたから、次回は私と手を繋がなくてもご自身お一人でスイスイ泳げるかもしれませんね。シュノーケリングは1回目が一番難しく感じますが、回を重ねる毎に慣れて上手になっていきます。またハワイにお越しの際にはツアーで皆様にお会いできるのをお待ちしております。最後まで頑張っていただけて、私も嬉しかったです。本当にありがとうございました。Mahalo!
This was my third time participating, and depending on the timing and the people going, the condition of the sandbar varied, which made it enjoyable. I was able to see a lot of sea turtles 🐢. During our free time, I had fun doing stand-up paddleboarding (SUP). The snacks, spam musubi, and drinks on the boat were plentiful. It was a tour that went by in the blink of an eye. The female staff were all lively and wonderful.
3度目の参加 行く人時期時間によりサンドバーの状態違い楽しめた
海亀🐢たくさん見れた
自由時間 SUPもできて楽しかった
船でのスパムむすび スナック 飲物充実 あっという間のツアーでした
スタッフ女性で皆さんイキイキ素敵でした
Check the weather. It might be better to avoid strong winds and rain.
天候確認 風きついや雨はやめた方がいいかも
Thank you for joining the Captain Bruce's Paradise Reef Tour for the third time. I'm truly happy that you were able to enjoy the different expressions of the sandbar on each visit, as the scenery changes from season to season and day to day. I look forward to the day we can meet again!
キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーに3度目のご参加ありがとうございました。
時期はもちろんその日その日違った表情のサンドバーをその都度楽しんで頂けてほんとうに嬉しく思います。
またぜひお会いできる日を今から楽しみにお待ちしております。
I’ve been on various snorkeling tour options before, but this one was quite disappointing for the price. There was no thorough explanation, just “do as you like.” The cold weather was unavoidable, but everyone felt cold on the boat. In the end, they managed to serve us tea, but it was too late; many were already shivering. I wish they would consider the situation a bit more at those moments.
今まで色々のシュノーケルのオプションツアー行ったけど結構値段の割には残念
好きなようにって全然丁寧な説明なしで
寒かったのは天候で仕方なかったけど船の中でみんな寒いって感じで最後なんとかお茶出してくれたけど遅い結構みんな震えてたもう少しその時その時考えてほしい
It might be a good idea to compare various tours before making a decision!
色々ツアーを比べて決めたほうがいいかなぁ!
Aloha Paniracchi,
Thank you for participating in the tour and for your valuable feedback.
We sincerely apologize for the cold conditions on the boat due to the weather, as well as the delay in providing tea. We take your comment about wanting us to be more considerate in the moment to heart, and we will work on improving the speed of our situational judgment and attention to detail. Additionally, we are very sorry for any anxiety caused by insufficient explanations. Moving forward, we will strive to provide more thorough and reassuring guidance that matches the price.
Thank you very much for your valuable input.
Mahalo,

この度はツアーへのご参加、ならびに貴重なフィードバックをいただきありがとうございます。
当日は天候の影響もあり、船上で大変寒い思いをさせてしまったこと、またお茶のご提供が遅くなりましたこと、深くお詫び申し上げます。お客様の「もう少しその時々で考えてほしい」というお言葉を真摯に受け止め、状況判断のスピードと配慮の細やかさを改善してまいります。
また、説明不足によりご不安な思いをさせてしまい、大変申し訳ございませんでした。今後は価格に見合う、より丁寧で安心感のあるガイダンスを心がけてまいります。
貴重なお声をいただき、誠にありがとうございました。

The arrival bus came on time, and there were Japanese staff who provided a thorough explanation upon arrival. After that, the communication was in English, and while there were some things I didn't understand, I never felt completely lost or troubled. It was great that we could watch a video explanation on the bus, which minimized any downtime after arriving.
On the day of the trip, it was colder than I expected, so I couldn't snorkel for a long time. However, I was very grateful that they were flexible and accommodated a sudden change in the return bus schedule when I negotiated it on the spot.
I brought my own snorkeling set, but for those who don't have one, rentals are available on-site. The bus was easily recognizable with the company's logo, which was also a nice touch!
到着のバスも時間内に来てくれて、到着時には日本人がいて丁寧に説明してくれました。
その他は英語対応となり、分からないこともありましたが分からなくてどうしようもなく困ることはありませんでした。
バス内で説明のVTRも見れて到着してからのロスタイムもなくよかったです。
当日は思ったより寒く、長い時間シュノーケリング出来なかったのですが、急な帰りのバスの時間変更にもその場で交渉したら応じてくれて柔軟に対応してもらえて大変ありがたかったです。
シュノーケルのセットは持参しました。持っていない方は現地でもレンタルがあるので借りることは可能です。
バスは会社のロゴの描かれたバスなのでとても分かりやすいのも良かったです!
Booking was easy and quick!
The buses are sumptuously comfortable,
making every moment feel like a dream come
true. We were greeted with a warm Aloha and
picked up promptly, setting the tone for a day
filled with wonder. As we settled into our seats
we were treated to the informative Hanauma
Bay video, which only added to the excitement
building within us. What a blessing it was to
bypass the long lines and simply step off the
bus and onto the free tram, which whisked us
away to a stunning beach paradise! Our
departure was just as seamless, with a timely
pickup that left us beaming with delight. lt's
clear that Roberts Tours has perfected the art
of transportation, and we cannot wait to
embark on our next adventure with them!
Bring a beach chair to avoid a $30 charge per chair.
What a wonderful experience to get close to dolphins! My daughter (11) loved it so much. She got to swim with the dolphins and work with the trainer to give commands to the dolphins. It was so exciting to see all the amazing knowledge these beautiful creatures have. The trainers provide so much information as to the care and conservation of dolphins.
I absolutely loved the Hawaiian singers on this tour. It was the highlight of my tour and my whole trip. Lived the Guava jelly song.
Aloha Guava jelly,
Thank you so much for your 5 star revies. We are very happy to hear that you enjoyed your sandbar tour with us and the song, Guava jelly.
We hope to see you again soon!

It was stated that there would be staff available who could speak Japanese, but after the initial greeting, everything was in English. There were no staff members who understood Japanese.
日本語対応可能スタッフがいると記載があったが、最初の挨拶以降は全て英語。日本語がわかるスタッフはいませんでした。
We had some free time during our company trip, so we participated as a pair. First, we were greeted by a sea turtle at the port, which was quite refreshing since I had no image of sea turtles being at ports in Japan!
When we set out on the boat to search for dolphins, we all sang a prayer to respectfully enter their natural habitat and threw plumeria flowers into the sea. After the prayer, as we moved the boat forward, we were surprised to see a whale spouting water and showing its fin—it's amazing how easily we could spot such creatures!
While we were searching for dolphins, Ryuichi-san explained the mountain range on the west coast, and the sight of the mountains at sunrise was very impressive. Towards the end of our trip, many dolphins appeared, and we were able to take photos right next to the boat!
Unfortunately, the type of dolphin we encountered couldn't swim alongside us, and the waves were a bit high that day, so we couldn't dive at the snorkeling spot with fish and coral reefs. I really hope to swim with them next time!!! 🐬
Thanks to Shanti, Koa, and Ryuichi-san, we made the best memories. Thank you so much!!
社員旅行で自由時間が出来たので2人で参加させていただきました。
まず、港にウミガメがお出迎えしてくれ、日本ではウミガメが港にいるイメージが全くなかったのでなんだか新鮮でした!
いざイルカを探しにボートを出すと、
まずは自然界にお邪魔しますのお祈りをみんなで歌い、プルメリアを海へ投げました。
そしてお祈り後にボートを進めていくと、鯨が潮を吹いたり、おびれを見せてくれて、そんなすぐに見つかる生き物なのかとびっくりしちゃいました!
イルカを探す間、りゅういちさんは西海岸にある山脈の説明をしてくれて、朝焼けの山脈がとても綺麗だったことが印象的です。
イルカは終盤の方に沢山出てきてくれ、
船のすぐ側で写真撮影できました◎
そのイルカの種類が一緒に泳げないイルカだった事と、その日は少し波が高く、魚や珊瑚礁があるシュノーケリングポイントで潜れなかったので、次回こそ一緒に泳ぎたいです!!!🐬
シャンティ、コア、りゅういちさん3人のお陰様で最高の思い出ができました。ありがとうございます!!
When searching for dolphins, we always go out on a boat, so I recommend wearing a wetsuit (available for rent) or a rash guard in January!
イルカを探す時は常にボートを出していますので、1月はウェットスーツ(レンタルあり)やラッシュガードを着る事をおすすめします!
Aloha! Yurika. Thank you for participating in the Dolphin School. I'm sorry we weren't able to meet any dolphins to swim with on the day of the tour. I appreciate your five-star rating despite that. It was great to encounter humpback whales that are unique to this season and to see many dolphins up close from the boat! Thank you also for your comments about our Japanese guide, Ryuichi, as well as Shanti and Koa. I'm glad to hear that you have an interest in Hawaiian culture and the mountains of the West Coast. Please do come back and try swimming with the dolphins again when you visit Hawaii! Mahalo nui and a hui hou!
アロハ! ゆりさま。イルカ中学に参加していただき、ありがとうございました。ツアー当日は一緒に泳ぐことの出来るイルカに出会えず残念でした。そんな中での五つ星評価に感謝いたします。この時期ならではのザトウクジラに遭遇したり沢山のイルカたちを船から間近で見ることができて良かったです!! また、日本語ガイドのりゅういちをはじめシャンティとコアに関するコメントもありがとうございます。ハワイの文化や西海岸の山々に関しても興味を持っていただき嬉しく思います。ぜひまた、ハワイにいらっしゃる際にはイルカと一緒に泳ぐことに再挑戦しに遊びに来てくださいね。Mahalo nui and a hui hou!
I had the best beach experience in Hawaii! Since it was my first tour in Hawaii, I was a bit nervous, but there were Japanese-speaking guides, which made boarding the bus and entering Hanauma Bay go smoothly! During the shuttle ride, they announced information about the surrounding attractions, so I didn't feel bored on the bus. Also, when renting the snorkeling gear, there was a staff member who spoke Japanese, so I was able to borrow it without any issues! The ocean was incredibly beautiful, and everything I saw was a breathtaking view!
ハワイで最高のビーチ観光をすることができました!
ハワイで初のツアーに参加ということで、緊張していましたが、日本語での案内もあり、スムーズにバスの乗車/ハナウマ湾への入場をすることができました!
送迎のバスの中では、周辺の観光情報をアナウンスしてくれてバスの中も退屈しないと思います。
また、シュノーケリングセットのレンタル時も日本語を話せる店員さんがいらっしゃったので、こちらもスムーズに借りることができました!
海も非常に綺麗で目に映るもの全てが絶景でした!
It takes about 15 minutes to get from the bus drop-off point to Hanauma Bay, and renting snorkeling gear also takes some time, so it's recommended to have a relaxed schedule! (You can also change your
バス降り場からハナウマ湾への入場(15分程度)やシュノーケリンググッズのレンタルなど、少し時間がかかるので、余裕を持ったスケジュールがおすすめです!(帰りの時間を変更することもできました!)
The staff was very kind, and they were friendly and funny, which made for a great experience. My 6-year-old child also participated and had a lot of fun. I would like to request their services again when I come next time.
とても親切な対応、優しくて面白いスタッフさん達でとても良い体験ができました。6歳の子供も参加して楽しんでました。また今度も来た時はお願いしたいです。
I think it would be a good idea to add the banana boat as an option. It looked like a lot of fun.
バナナボートをオプションで追加した方がいいと思います。とても楽しそうでした。
Aloha Ma-san,
Thank you for participating in the sandbar tour with KBOS. We are grateful for your 5-star review along with the beautiful photos. Next time, we hope you will also try the banana boat. The entire crew looks forward to seeing you again.

It was amazing to see the moment the humpback whale jumped!
It was also fantastic to see a pod of long-finned pilot whales.
During snorkeling, I was able to swim with a green sea turtle, and it was just wonderful.
Our guide, Minako, explained everything clearly in Japanese, which made me feel at ease!
ザトウクジラがジャンプした瞬間も見れて最高です!
ハシナガイルカの群れを見れたのも最高です
シュノーケリングではアオウミガメと泳ぐこともできて、とにかく素敵でした
ガイドのミナコさんも日本語で分かりやすく教えてくれて安心でした!
I think it's better to have motion sickness medication even for people who don't usually get seasick.
船酔いしにくい人でも酔い止めがあった方が良いと思います
Aloha! Thank you, Tak, for participating in Dolphin University. We appreciate your sharing the adorable photos of the dolphins swimming at the surface and your five-star rating. It was lucky that you got to see not only the spinner dolphins and green sea turtles but also the humpback whales jumping!! Thank you for your comments about our Japanese guide, Minako. Please come visit us again when you're in Hawaii. Mahalo nui and a hui hou!
アロハ! Takさま。イルカ大学に参加していただき、ありがとうございました。表層を泳ぐ可愛いイルカの写真の共有ならびに五つ星評価にも感謝いたします。ハシナガイルカやアオウミガメだけでなく、ザトウクジラのジャンプを見られたとはラッキーでしたね!! 日本語ガイドのミナコに関するコメントもありがとうございます。ぜひまた、ハワイにいらっしゃる際には遊びに来てくださいね。Mahalo nui and a hui hou!
The couple enjoyed canoeing together, and even the wife, who can't swim, had a great time snorkeling in the sea! The tour participants helped each other with getting on and off the canoe and stand-up paddleboarding, creating a lively atmosphere that transcended national borders.
夫婦でカヌーに乗ったり、泳げない妻もシュノーケリングで海を満喫!ツアー者同士でカヌーやサップの乗り降り等で助け合いながら、国を超えて大いに盛り上がりました。

I participated with my 69-year-old mother at the end of December. I was anxious because I couldn't speak English and it was my first experience with snorkeling, but thanks to the excellent support, I was able to participate in the activities with peace of mind.
First, they were able to confirm reservations and answer inquiries in Japanese over the phone. Additionally, although the boarding staff only provided English guidance that day, a Japanese-speaking staff member came to pick us up since we had requested hotel transportation. That person helped us prepare for boarding, provided us with important information after we boarded, and supported us after we disembarked.
Even though it was the end of December in Hawaii, which made me worry about the cold sea, I followed the staff's recommendation to rent a wetsuit, and I felt comfortable without feeling cold at all. During the activities, there were enough staff members watching over and supporting the participants.
Thanks to this, I had a wonderful experience seeing many manta rays and a beautiful sunset. Even if we hadn't encountered any manta rays, I still think just snorkeling in the waters of Hawaii would have been a fantastic experience. I highly recommend it!
12月末に69歳の母と参加しました。
英語も話せずシュノーケリングも初体験のため不安でしたが、手厚いサポートのおかげで安心してアクティビティに参加することができました。
まず、電話での予約確認や問い合わせに、日本語で対応していただけます。
また、乗船スタッフは英語ガイドのみの日でしたが、ホテルへの送迎を頼んでいたところ日本語スタッフの方が迎えに来てくださいました。
その方に乗船までの準備を手伝っていただいたり、乗船後の注意点も教えていただいたり、下船後のサポートもしていただきました。
ハワイとはいえ12月末の海ということで寒さが不安でしたが、スタッフの方のお勧めに従いウェットスーツを借りたところ、寒さを感じることはなく快適に過ごせました。
アクティビティ中も、参加者に対して十分な人数のスタッフが見守ってサポートしてくれます。
おかげさまでたくさんのマンタと綺麗な夕日を見るという素晴らしい体験ができましたが、もしマンタと遭遇できなかったとしても、ハワイの海でシュノーケリングするというだけでも十分に素敵な経験だったと思います。
とてもおすすめです!
Aloha! Thank you for participating in the Manta University on the Big Island. We also appreciate your five-star rating. I'm glad you were able to encounter many mantas! It was lucky to see the sunset from the ocean as well! Snorkeling in the waters of Hawaii is a great adventure even as an adult! I'm happy to hear that you enjoyed the tour until the end with peace of mind. Please make sure to take advantage of the repeat visitor discount when you come back to Hawaii. We sincerely look forward to your next participation. Mahalo nui and a hui hou!
アロハ! たねこさま。ハワイ島マンタ大学に参加していただき、ありがとうございましまた。五つ星評価にも感謝いたします。たくさんのマンタに出会えてよかったです! 海の上からのサンセットも見られてラッキーでしたね!! ハワイの海でのシュノーケリングは大人になっても大冒険ですよね!! ツアーを最後まで安心して楽しんでいただいたようで、嬉しく思います。ぜひ、ハワイにいらっしゃる際にはリピーター割引を利用して遊びに来てくださいね。またのご参加を心よりお待ちしております。Mahalo nui and a hui hou!
I participated in a tour from Waikiki by bus for the first time in Hawaii. It was early in the morning, and it took about an hour to reach the beach where we could see dolphins. Fortunately, I was able to swim with the dolphins and even see whales! As an older guy, I was truly moved by the experience.
The guides were all professionals and very friendly. For me and the other Japanese participants who struggled with English, Minako, who could speak Japanese, and Yuya, who handled the photography, were very attentive and humorous in their assistance. Thank you for your hard work from the preparations to after we set sail.
It was a very satisfying tour!
初めてのハワイでワイキキからバスでツアーに参加しました。朝早く、イルカが見れる海岸まで移動距離も1時間ほどかかりました。が運良くイルカと泳げてクジラまで見れました!良い歳のおっさんですが感動しました。
ガイドさんは皆プロフェッショナルで気さくでした。英語が拙い私や他の日本人へ、日本語ができるガイドのミナコさんや撮影のゆうやさんが懇切丁寧に、ユーモア交えて対応頂きました。準備から出航後もハードワークでお疲れ様でした。
大変満足なツアーでした!
The boat can be quite rocky, so those who are sensitive should take motion sickness medication or stand on the deck during the trip to avoid having their heads shaken.
船は結構揺れるので弱い人は酔い止めか、乗船中は甲板などで立って、頭が揺らされるのを避けたほうが良い
Aloha! Shinji. Thank you for participating in the Dolphin University. We also appreciate your five-star rating. It was lucky that you not only swam with dolphins but also encountered whales!! Thank you for your comments about our Japanese guides, Minako and Yuya. Your words of "very satisfied tour" will encourage our staff. Please come visit us again when you are in Hawaii. Mahalo nui and a hui hou!
アロハ! シンジさま。イルカ大学に参加していただき、ありがとうございました。五つ星評価にも感謝いたします。イルカと泳げただけでなく、クジラにも出会えたとは幸運でしたね!! 日本語ガイドのミナコやゆうやに関するコメントもありがとうございます。「大変満足なツアー」とのお言葉、スタッフたちの励みになります。ぜひまた、ハワイにいらっしゃる際には遊びに来てくださいね。Mahalo nui and a hui hou!
It was an amazing tour! We were able to see a large group of dolphins, whales, and sea turtles! Everything went very smoothly, and the staff member Minako said, "It's rare to see dolphins, whales, and sea turtles so smoothly!" so this tour was a great success! At first, I was worried about whether we would see them, but within 30 minutes of departure, we encountered dolphins, which was fantastic!
Minako, Travis, Laura, Gaylen, Yuya, and Tim were all excellent staff, and we had a great time until the end!
とても素晴らしいツアーでした!イルカの大群、クジラ、ウミガメを見れる事ができました!とてもスムーズに進んでスタッフのMINAKOさんも「こんなにスムーズでイルカ、クジラ、ウミガメ見れるなんて中々無いですよ!」と言われてたので、今回のツアーは大成功でした!最初は会えるか不安でしたが、船が出発して30分しない内にイルカに遭遇したので最高でした!

Aloha! Mr. Masaki Endou. Thank you for participating in Dolphin University. We also appreciate your sharing of photos from the ocean and your five-star rating.

We were the only Japanese guests on the tour, so our Japanese guide, Ken, stayed with us and taught us a lot about how to find dolphins and whales, the names of the fish we saw while snorkeling, and interesting facts about Hawaii. It was a really enjoyable tour!
Since we participated right after the New Year, I was hoping to see some whales, and we encountered nearly ten of them! I will never forget the excitement of seeing a whale right in front of the boat. Everyone, including the other guests and the captain, was thrilled!
We joined the tour the day before returning to Japan, and it became the perfect memory to wrap up our trip to Hawaii. Ken and everyone else were very kind and wonderful, so I definitely want to join other tours as well.
日本人客はツアーの中で我々だけだったので、日本語ガイドのKENさんが私たちについてくださり、イルカやクジラの探し方やシュノーケルで見えた魚の名前、ハワイの豆知識などたくさんのことを教えてくれて、とても楽しいツアーでした!
年明けに参加したのでクジラが見れたらいいなあと思っていたのですが、10頭近くのクジラに遭遇できました!
中でも船の目の前でクジラに遭遇した感動は忘れません。他のお客さんもキャプテンもみんな大興奮!!
日本の帰国前日に参加したのですが、ハワイ旅を締めくくる最高の思い出ができました!
KENさんはじめ皆さんとても優しく良い方ばかりでしたので、また他のツアーにも是非参加したいです。
Aloha! HN. Thank you for participating in the Dolphin School. We also appreciate your five-star rating. It was lucky to encounter nearly ten whales! Moreover, seeing them right in front of you must have been an amazing experience! I'm glad to hear that it was "the best memory to wrap up your trip to Hawaii." Thank you for your comments about our Japanese guide KEN and the crew as well. Please come visit us again when you're in Hawaii. Mahalo nui and a hui hou!
アロハ! HNさま。イルカ中学に参加していただき、ありがとうございました。五つ星評価にも感謝いたします。10頭ちかくのクジラに遭遇したとはラッキーでしたね! しかも、目の前で見られとは感動体験ですね!! 「ハワイ旅を締めくるる最高の思い出」とお聞きし、嬉しく思います。また日本語ガイドのKENやクルー達に関するコメントもありがとうございます。ぜひまた、ハワイにいらっしゃる際には遊びに来てくださいね。Mahalo nui and a hui hou!
I have participated in dolphin watching in other countries, but this time swimming with them was a truly precious experience. The dolphins, over 100 of them and about 2 meters long, were really adorable.
We moved to a shallow area where we enjoyed snorkeling and stand-up paddleboarding, as well as a slide. The weather was great, and I was very satisfied!
Thank you to the crew, Japanese guide Minako, photographer Yuya, and others—Stef, Tim, Travis, Laura, and Gaylan—for a fun day!
イルカウォッチングは他国でも参加したことはありましたが、今回一緒に泳げたことは大変貴重な時間になりました。
100頭以上の体長2mほどのイルカたちは本当に可愛かったです。
場所を浅瀬に移動してシュノーケリングとSAP、滑り台も楽しめました。
気候も良く大変満足しました!
クルーの日本人ガイドのMINAKO、カメラマンのYUYA、その他STEF、TIM、TRAVIS、LAURA、GAYLAN楽しい一日をありがとうございました。
I think there will be a lot of wind and swaying on the boat. It might be a good idea to bring a jacket and some motion sickness medication.
船の上は風と揺れが多いかと思います。
上着と酔い止め薬は持って行ったほうがいいかもしれません。
Aloha! RIKO. Thank you for participating in Dolphin University. We also appreciate you sharing wonderful photos of dolphins and giving us a five-star rating. Swimming with dolphins in the beautiful waters of West Oahu is truly a precious experience, isn't it?

I had made a reservation for two people, but due to unforeseen circumstances, I participated alone. I was nervous, but the captain and the staff were very kind, and I had a great time even by myself!
It was such a valuable experience to see sea turtles up close like that! There was also a staff member who provided Japanese interpretation, which made me feel very at ease! Everyone was kind, and it was a lot of fun!
2名で予約していましたが
急遽1名での、参加で緊張しましたが
キャプテンとスタッフさんが良くしていただか、一人でもとっても楽しめました!!
あんなにも、近くで海かめを見ることができるなんてとても貴重な経験ができました!
日本語通訳してくださるスタッフさんも、いてとても安心です!
みなさま優しくたのしかったです!
I didn't bring a GoPro or anything like that, so it's definitely necessary!
ゴープロなど持っていってなかったので絶対に、必要です!
Aloha! Thank you for joining the Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour. We are truly happy to hear that you had a wonderful time. Next time, please come along with those who couldn't join this time. We look forward to that day with the sea turtles.
アロハ!キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーにご参加頂きましてありがとうございました。
素敵なお時間を過ごして頂けたようで本当に嬉しく思います。次回は今回ご参加できなかった方とご一緒にお越しください。
その日をウミガメとともにお待ちしております。
I think it can be summed up in one word: amazing. This time, I experienced multiple activities on the Big Island, Maui, and Oahu, but without a doubt, the most fun was this tour.
- I chose a plan that allowed me to experience both snorkeling and snuba. There were about 20 participants on the boat, and around 80% of them opted for this plan. The water clarity around Molokini Island was fantastic, and it would be a shame to just stick to snorkeling.
- I believe anyone can do snuba as long as they listen carefully to the pre-activity instructions.
- We were able to see whales a few times while on the boat heading to Molokini Island.
- The guide was wonderful, and their attentiveness and ability to energize the group were top-notch. Many of the other crew members were also a lot of fun.
- Since the guide was in English, it might be challenging for those who aren't proficient in English.
- The rental for a wetsuit is $10. Additionally, snorkeling and snuba at Turtle Town require an extra $50 payment. Both payments were made in cash after getting off the boat (definitely worth it).
最高の一言に尽きると思います。今回私はハワイ島→マウイ島→オアフ島の3か所で複数アクティビティを体験しましたが、間違いなく1番楽しかったのがこのツアーでした。
・シュノーケルとスヌーバの両方を体験可能なプランにしました。船内には20人程度の参加者がいましたが、8割程度がこのプランでした。モロキニ島水域の透明度は素晴らしく、シュノーケリングで終わらせるのはもったいないと思います
・スヌーバは事前の説明さえちゃんと聞いていれば誰でも出来ると思います
・モロキニ島に向かう船上でクジラも数回見ることができました
・ガイドさんがまた素晴らしく、気の配り方や盛り上げ方も最高でした。他のクルーも楽しい方が多かったです
・英語ガイドさんなので、英語がからっきしの方は難しいかも知れません
・ウェットスーツ貸し出しは10USDです。また、タートルタウンでのシュノーケリング・スヌーバは追加で50USD払う必要があります。いずれも船を降りた後に現金で支払いでした(支払う価値ありです)
Motion sickness medication and sunscreen are essential. Since there are no changing rooms or showers, it's better to consider the timing in relation to your itinerary beforehand. After wiping my entir
酔い止め、日焼け止めは必須。着替える場所やシャワーがないので、前後の行程との兼ね合いも事前に検討された方が良い。私は持参したタオルで全身を拭いた後、港のすぐ近くにある商業施設のトイレで着替えました
I took the ride from the Ala Moana Hotel. The meeting place was easy to find. Printing the voucher is a must. It took about 30 minutes to reach the destination. We left on the 10:45 AM flight and returned on the 1:45 PM flight. Although the stay was short, I was able to enjoy it thoroughly even without a guide. It was just the right amount of time for me. It was comfortable and quick, much better than spending half a day.
I was told by the older gentleman at the counter that there are no fish on the central beach, various fish on the right side of the reef, and large fish on the left side. He was absolutely right! I didn't want to spend money, so I went without fins or goggles, but I had a fantastic time. The water is shallow, so it worked out fine. Next time I go, I will bring fins and goggles from Japan.
アラモアナホテルから乗りました。
集合場所も分かりやすかったです。バウチャー印刷は必須です。
目的地までは30分ほど。
10時45分発の便で行き、
13時45分発の便で帰りました。
滞在時間は少なかったですが、
ガイドなしでも十分に楽しめます。私にとっては程よい時間でした。
半日使うよりもサクッと行けて快適でした。
真ん中の砂浜は魚はおらず、
右側の岩礁に色んな魚、
左側は大きな魚がいるとカウンターのおじいちゃんに教えてもらいました。
ほんとうにその通りでした!
お金をかけたくなく、フィンなしゴーグルなしでしたが最高に楽しめました。
遠浅なのでどうにかなります。次回行く時は日本からフィンとゴーグルは持っていきます。
Don't forget to print.

We participated in a tour that included a shuttle service to Hanauma Bay and a snorkeling set, with three people including a 12-year-old child. The pickup time was early in the morning. It was still dark outside, and I was worried about being out so early, but shortly after arriving, dawn broke. We were able to see a wonderful sunrise, which was the perfect start to the day.
Snorkeling was first thing in the morning, and there were plenty of fish. Although there were times during the day when it was cloudy, it didn't matter, and we still had a great time seeing lots of fish.
On this day, there were no other Japanese participants in the tour besides us. However, that wasn't an issue at all.
Additionally, we could borrow life jackets on the spot by asking the tour staff. Please note that these are cash only.
We considered renting a car to get there, but I think it was better to avoid the hassle of reservations and enjoy the convenience.
I would definitely like to participate in this tour again.
ハナウマベイシャトルサービスシュノーケルセットのツアーに、12歳の子供を含む3人で参加。
ピックアップの時間は早朝。
まだ外は暗く、こんなに朝早く?と心配になりましたが、到着して間もなく夜明け。素晴らしい朝焼けを見る事ができて、最高の一日のスタートでした。
シュノーケリングも朝イチで、魚が沢山いました。日中曇りになる時間も有りましたが、
それでも問題なく、沢山のお魚を見ることができて楽しかったです。
ツアーは、この日は、日本人は私達以外いませんでした。だからといって問題はないです。
また、ライフジャケットも、ツアーの方に言えばその場で借りる事ができました。
これらは、現金のみになります。
レンタカーを借りて行く事も考えましたが、
便利さと、予約などの手間が省けてよかったと思ってます。
また、参加したいツアーです。
We participated as a family. Since my family isn't very good at English, we were a bit anxious about going out to sea, but my fourth-grade son had a blast and we were able to create wonderful memories. There were staff members who spoke Japanese perfectly, which made us feel at ease. It has become a place we want to visit again. Thank you!
家族で参加しました
英語が得意ではない家族だったので、海に出る事が少し不安でしたが、
小学4年生の息子も思いっきり楽しめて、最高の思い出が作れました。
日本語バッチリのスタッフさんもいて安心できました。
また訪れたい場所になりました。
アリガト〜
10/10 highly recommend this tour! Best bang for your buck. Great staff and accommodations! Loved all the food and beverages as well as getting to know the captain and his crew. The snorkel gear and wetsuits were top notch, too. We will definitely do this again next time we visit.
Be prepared for a windy harbor and bring a dry change of clothes for the ride home.
Our family had an amazing time snorkeling and whale watching. The food was also very good and everyone had plenty to eat. Our favorite part was the wonderful crew. They were funny and kind and engaging and made us all feel super comfortable, mostly our 5 and 7 year old. This boat was great for kids and had a few options for them to be able to see the underwater life. We had plenty of time to snorkel and then lots of relaxing time in the boat to see a ton of humpback whales. We are already planning our Four Winds snorkel trip next year!
We greatly appreciate your business and for sharing about your experience! We look forward to seeing you again soon!
Although it was just a shuttle service, I really appreciated the effort to help us get in early to Hanauma Bay, which requires a specified entry time.
送迎だけですが、入場時間の指定が必要なハナウマベイへ早く入れるためにがんばってもらえて、とても助かりました。
