Views were great on the boat tour.
The sand bar activity was a total let down. Many of us were thinking they will start a volleyball game, but soon they were packing the net back! ?! There was basically nothing to do in the sand bar given that.
Then the turtle watching was fun. Then snorkeling was ok.
They do not help out beginners in any way. We asked them multiple times if one of them can come with us for helping out.. but no response.
Given the price, i would rate this ok overall..

From start to finish, I had an amazing experience! It was truly moving to swim in such a beautiful ocean surrounded by so many dolphins and marine friends right in front of me.
At one point, I got a bit tired and waited on the boat, but instead, I was able to see the dolphins jumping all at once, and the crew played the ukulele and sang, which was really enjoyable.
The crew members were all cheerful and worked hard to ensure everyone had a great time, and there was never a dull moment, in a good way!
One thing to note is that the snorkeling gear provided locally might be too big for smaller Japanese individuals, so it's better to either borrow a kids' size or bring your own!
This tour offered a wonderful Hawaiian experience, allowing us to indulge in the beauty of Hawaii's nature in just half a day, but what made it truly special was the crew's effort to help us create many memories. I definitely recommend playing a lot with the crew and the marine friends!
最初から最後までどこを切り取っても最高の時間を体験させてもらいました!
あれだけのイルカ先生たちや海の仲間たちを目の前にして、しかもとても綺麗な海で泳ぐことができて本当に感動しました。
途中ちょっと疲れてしまって船の上で待機していたのですが、逆に一斉にイルカたちがジャンプしているのをしっかりみれたり、クルーの方がウクレレ弾いて歌ってくれたり等、色々楽しみ方があってとても良かったです。
クルーの皆さん達は本当に陽気で全員を満遍なく楽しませてくれようと頑張ってくれて、良い意味で隙が全然ありませんでした笑
一つ気になったのは、現地でお借りするシュノーケルは小柄な日本人だと大きすぎるので、全然キッズサイズを借りるか、もしくは持参の方がいいです!
とてもハワイらしい素敵な体験をさせてくれたこちらのツアーの魅力は、ハワイの大自然の良いところを半日で贅沢に味わえるのもそうですが、沢山の思い出を作らせてくれようと努力してくれたクルーの皆さんが本当に最高でした。ぜひ、クルーの皆さん達と、海の仲間達といっぱい遊んで欲しいです!

Fabulous experience - I would highly recommend this to everyone. Well organised, helpful staff, who went out of their way to make it an amazing experience for all. Plenty of time to snorkel when it wasn't your turn to ride on the underwater scooter. We saw turtles and lots of different types of fish. The photographer took great photos and a video, which you can pay to download later if you want to. A perfect day and I loved every minute of it.
One tip - take a sweatshirt. The weather wasn't great the day we went. Whilst the sea was warm, we were provided with wet suit tops so we were fine during the activity but we were a bit cold when we got out of the water, during the pack up and the boat ride back to shore.

This tour offers an experience that you absolutely cannot have on your own. The captain searched for wild dolphins, found the spots, and stopped the boat, which I thought was amazing. Dolphins are smart and swim fast, so we desperately chased after them, making it not easy to spot them. However, the excitement of seeing dolphins in the ocean made it all worthwhile. The guide and crew were friendly and kind, which made the experience enjoyable, and I am grateful for that. Our guide, Karen, is from Hawaii, but her Japanese is very good, and you can really feel her love for Hawaii. I thought she was such a lovely person! Thank you so much for this precious experience. MAHALO~♪
個人では、絶対に出来ない体験が出来るツアーです。船長さんが野生のイルカを探しながら、ポイントを見つけて、船を止めてくれて、スゴイなと思いました。イルカも賢いし、泳ぐのも速いから、私達も必死で泳ぎながら追いかけて、イルカを見つけるのは簡単ではなかったけど、その分、海の中でイルカを見れた時の感動は大きかったです。ガイドさんやクルーの方達もフレンドリー&親切で楽しかったし、感謝してます。ガイドのカレンさんはハワイ出身だけど、日本語がとても上手&とてもハワイを愛してるのを感じられて、可愛い人だなぁ〜と思いました。貴重な体験、どうもありがとうございました。MAHALO〜♪

I participated in my first Hawaii trip five years ago, and it became my best memory, so I joined again without hesitation this time! We were able to see dolphins and turtles again! The staff, especially Shohta who speaks Japanese, were all so much fun, it felt like Disneyland!
However, it seemed like there were more people this time than last. The boat was crowded, and when swimming, there were so many people that it was hard to hear and see the dolphins. More than anything, I felt that the communication with the staff and the sense of unity among participants had decreased. This activity is different from others; I believe that the satisfaction comes more from the staff's interactions and the atmosphere rather than just seeing or playing with the dolphins, so I think having a bit more space would enhance the sense of unity.
It was a bit chilly in December, but it was fine without renting a wetsuit. The water wasn't cold. I felt like more than 10% of the participants got seasick. It seems like there weren't any sick people five years ago...? Maybe it was because of the winter and the high waves? Even if you usually don't get seasick, it might be a good idea to have some motion sickness medication.
5年前の初ハワイでも参加して、1番の思い出になったので今回も迷わず参加しました!今回もイルカもカメも見れました!スタッフさん、特に日本語担当ショウタさんはじめ皆さんとっても楽しくてディズニーランドみたいでした!
ただ、前回より人が多かった気がします。船ギュウギュウだし、泳ぐ時も人が多すぎて声が聞こえづらくてイルカも見づらかったです。何よりスタッフさんとのコミュニケーションや参加者の一体感が少なくなっていたと思います。このアクティビティは他と違って、イルカを見るとか遊ぶとかの目的よりもスタッフの皆さんの対応や雰囲気が満足につながっていると思うので、もう少しゆとりがあった方が一体感も出て良いと思いました。
12月で少し寒い時期でしたが、ウエットスーツレンタル無しでも大丈夫でした。水は冷たくないです。1割以上の方が酔っていた気がします。5年前は酔った人いなかったような…?冬で波が高いとかですかね?普段酔わなくても酔い止めがあった方がいいかもしれません

About three days ago, the first tour was fully booked, so I signed up for this tour. They picked us up by bus, and from there we moved to the sandbar by boat. I didn’t feel seasick at all, and it was really pleasant arriving at the sandbar. Unfortunately, the water level was up to my waist, but it was very beautiful. We strolled around, took photos, and relaxed at a leisurely pace. There was plenty of time.
After that, we had a hamburger lunch! It was delicious, with freshly grilled patties. You could add tomatoes, onions, lettuce, and more as you liked. Then we went sea turtle watching. I think we saw about ten turtles. They swam gracefully and occasionally popped their heads up for air. After that, snorkeling at a stunning spot! We visited several snorkeling points, and there were many fish. It was the first time I saw a sea turtle. A few groups spotted them, and since I wasn’t wearing a flotation jacket, I dove down a bit and saw them up close. It was amazing to swim alongside the turtles. (Of course, I think I was lucky…)
Snorkeling was also very enjoyable. The plan, which included the sandbar, lunch, sea turtles, and snorkeling, was very satisfying. Our guide, Yuki, was also a lot of fun and shared some movie filming stories, which made it enjoyable. I will definitely join this tour again next time. I highly recommend it!
*Put your belongings in a vinyl bag. Wear marine (water) shoes and bring extra towels from the hotel. Keep your phone around your neck. If possible, sitting on the outer side of the front deck allows for better views of the turtles. Make sure to apply sunscreen well. Drinks are included, so you don’t need too many, but having one for the trip or when you want to drink right away is necessary. Don’t forget to prepare a tip; around $20 to $25 per person is ideal. After the tour, we returned to the hotel by 4 PM, and then we had plenty of time to enjoy shopping.
3日くらい前一番初めのツアーが空いていなかったので、
このツアーに申し込み。バスで迎えに来てくれて、そこから船で移動
まったく、船酔いすることもなく、すごく、気持ちよくサンドバー到着。
あいにく腰下まで水位がありましたが、すごくきれい。
ぶらぶら歩いたり写真を撮ったりまったり、ゆっくり。十分な時間でした。
その後、ハンバーガーランチ!こちらも美味しい。ハンバーグも焼き立て。
トマト、オニオン、レタスなどもお好きに挟んで。という感じ。
その後、ウミガメウオッチング。
10匹は見えたと思います。優雅に泳いでたまに顔を水面に出してくれました。
その後シュノーケリングも最高にきれいなポイント!
いくつかシュノーケルポイントは行きましたが、魚も多く
ウミガメが見えたのは初めて。
数組の方が発見して、私は浮きのジャケットを着ていなかったので、少し潜ったら大きく見えました。さらに、カメと一緒に泳ぐことも出来て最高でした。
(もちろん、ラッキーだったと思いますが…)
シュノーケリングも十分楽しめます。サンドバー・ランチ・ウミガメ・シュノーケルと大満足のプランでした。案内してくださったYUKIさんもとても、
楽しい方で映画の撮影の紹介などもあり、楽しめました。
次に行くときもこのツアーに絶対参加します。お勧めです
※荷物はビニール素材のバックに入れて。靴はマリン(ウォーター)シューズ・タオルはホテルレンタル多めに。携帯は首にかけて。可能なら、前のデッキの外側に座れるとそのまま、カメがうまく見えます。日焼け止めはしっかり塗って。ドリンクはついているので、そんなにいらないが1本くらいは移動やすぐ飲みたいときに必要。チップを準備するのを忘れないで。一人、20ドルから25ドルくらいが理想です。
終了後も16時にホテルに戻りその後、十分にお買い物楽しめます。

It was a clear day, and both the sea and the mountains were beautiful. The shallowest area had water up to my knees, but it was surprisingly clear, like a different world.
I was worried about snorkeling since I couldn't do the breaststroke, but I was able to move just by using my hands, and I was thrilled to see sea turtles swimming up close.
The blueberry or chocolate muffins we received right after boarding, as well as the lunch, were delicious.
If I had to mention something, the driver was late compared to the meeting time, and he was distributing the schedule by wetting each piece of paper. Also, the changing area on the way to Kailua was in a public restroom with limited stalls, and since locals were using it too, it made us a bit rushed. However, at Būkimō, it was not crowded, and I was able to eat pancakes right away.
I also think it would be helpful if the tour included tips. I definitely want to join again during low tide next time.
当日は快晴で海だけでなく山もとても綺麗でした。一番浅い場所で膝ぐらいの水位でしたが、驚くほど透明で別世界の景色です。
シュノーケリングは、平泳ぎの足が出来ず心配でしたが、手をかくだけで進み、海亀の泳ぐ姿を間近でみれてテンションが上がりました。
乗船してすぐ頂くブルーベリーorチョコのマフィンもランチも美味しかったです。
強いて言うなら、行きのドライバーさんが集合時間より遅れて来たこと、車内で配るスケジュールを1枚ずつ唾を付けて配っていたこと、カイルアへ行く途中の着替えがどこかのトイレで個数も少なく、地元の方も使うので譲っていたら時間が…となり焦ったぐらいです。ブーキモは空いててすぐパンケーキを食べれました。
あと、ツアーがチップ込みだと助かるな〜と思います。次回は干潮の時にぜひ参加します。

This was my first time in Hawaii, so I made a reservation based on information I found online. The communication regarding transportation was polite, and I received updates about the meeting location and time changes from the hotel. Women must wear rash guards, which also protect against the wind when boarding. For men, it's all about determination.
During our visit, we were comfortably picked up by a large tour bus. We stopped to use the restroom at the boat departure location. Due to the large number of participants, we split into two boats: one with mostly Japanese people and the other more international. Personally, I preferred the international boat, but my family wanted to be on the one with mostly Japanese passengers. The energetic and thorough explanations from the staff really boosted our spirits.
At the sandbar, we borrowed goggles and snorkels to enter the water. It's essential to have a waterproof case for your smartphone, even if it's a cheap one from a dollar store. The water level was about waist to thigh deep, allowing us to walk around, enjoy the scenery, and play volleyball. It might be fun to bring a ball that doesn't get blown away easily.
For turtle watching, we moved from the sandbar and observed from the boat. We saw many turtles, which was exciting, but it was a bit difficult to take photos due to the distance.
Lunch consisted of hamburgers on the boat. If you line up early, you can enjoy your meal at a leisurely pace. Since the portions are light, those with big appetites might want to bring something extra.
The captain's guitar performance was also a nice touch. For snorkeling around the coral, in addition to the snorkel, we borrowed life jackets and fins. If the staff can share some bread, you can feed the fish, which is sure to be a thrilling experience. You can swim around the coral and enjoy the beautiful scenery with your friends.
The weather was decent. Some members got stung by jellyfish, including my daughter, but we received medication and it was no problem. Please note that you cannot flush toilet paper on the boat. It's important to be considerate and keep it clean for everyone, but it might be tough for those who are very particular about cleanliness.
On the return bus, plastic covers were set on the seats. Even if you can't change clothes, there's no need to worry. (Remember to bring some cash to leave a tip when disembarking.)
Instead of worrying about "the weather not being perfect," "the jellyfish," or "the restroom situation," it's better to focus on enjoying what you can. If you can have a good time, the staff's spirits will lift too, making the experience even more enjoyable.
初ハワイなので、ネット情報を参考にして申し込みました。
送迎の連絡は丁寧で、迎えの場所及び時間の変更連絡はホテルにいただけました。女性はラッシュガードが必須。乗船時の風からも守ってくれます。男は気合です。
私たちの時は大きな観光バスでのお迎えにて快適に移動。ボート出航場所でトイレを済ませます。ボート乗船は参加人数が多く2隻に分乗。日本人ばかりのボートとインターナショナルなボートに分かれました。個人的にはインターナショナルが良かったのですが、家族の希望で日本人ばかりの船に。元気で丁寧な説明をいただき気分も盛り上がりました。
サンドバーでは、水中眼鏡とシュノーケルを借りて入水します。スマホは必ず100均のでいいので防水ケースに。腰~太ももくらいまで水位がありましたが、歩いたり、景色を楽しんだり、バレーを楽しんだり。風に飛ばされにくいボールなんかを持っていくと面白いかも。
ウミガメウォッチは、サンドバーから移動してボート上からウォッチします。たくさんのウミガメを見て盛り上がりますが、やや距離があるので写真におさめるのは困難です。
ランチは、船上でハンバーガーでした。早めに並ぶとゆっくり食べられます。軽めなので、大食漢の方は何か持って行った方がいいかもしれません。
船長(?)のギターの弾き語りもいい感じです。
サンゴの周りのシュノーケリングは、シュノーケルの他に、ライフジャケットとフィンを借りて入水します。もし、スタッフの方からパンを分けてもらえれば、魚への餌やりができます。魚の勢いに驚くこと必至。シュノーケリングでサンゴの周りを一周できます。きれいなサンゴを仲間と一緒に楽しめます。
お天気はまずまず。クラゲに刺されるメンバーもいて、娘もその被害に合いましたが薬をいただき問題なし。船上のトイレは紙を流すことができません。お互いのためにきれいに使う意識も大事ですが、潔癖症の方は厳しいかも。
帰りのバスの席にはビニールがセットされています。着替えることができなくても心配ありません。(下船時に気持ちをチップとして残すので、お金を忘れないように)
「天気がピーカンじゃない」とか「クラゲが~」とか「トイレが~」とか考えるよりも、楽しめることを楽しんだ者勝ちです。楽しそうに過ごせたら、スタッフの気持ちも上がって、もっと楽しく過ごせるかも。

We set sail from the port and quickly arrived at the snorkeling spot after receiving instructions. One by one, we entered the water and swam with the guide, where we were able to see many dolphins up close. I swam with my child, and both of us were moved by the experience. I think we spent about 15 minutes in the water. The dolphins seemed to stay in the area, so I wished we could have swum a bit longer. Since we were swimming in the open sea, if you don't have enough stamina, you won't be able to chase the dolphins, so I recommend building up your endurance before participating. My 62-year-old mother didn't have enough stamina and got tired just from swimming, so she had to get out of the water before seeing the dolphins. Next time, I want to invite other family members to join us.
港を出港してシュノーケリングの指導を受けているとすぐにポイントに到着しました。
順番に海に入りガイドさんと泳いでいくと、たくさんのイルカを間近で見る事が出来ました。
子供と一緒に泳ぎましたが、親子とも感動しました。
時間にして15分くらいだったと思います。
イルカたちはずっとその場にいたようなので、もう少し長く泳いでいたかったです。
沖で泳ぐので体力がないとイルカを追いかけられないので、しっかり体力作りをして参加することをオススメします。

You read the description of the tour first and now you want to make sure it's worth it.... Sandbar, volleyball, basic but tasty lunch (charcoal grill), turtle and manta spotting, and then snorkeling a coral reef. Is this something you want to do, surrounded by natural beauty?
Stop reading reviews and book the trip.
We did this tour on a rainy, windy day in 2018 and loved it! We came back and did it again in December 2019 and had a warm, sunny day and lucked out with really good visibility. The coral reef is just that; when you're underwater the live corals extend much beyond what you can see. It's not just a single live colony every once in a while like Hanauma. Where one huge colony/color/texture ends, others begin. That's what I wanted to see and this tour lets you get plenty of time in the water. The crew is always enthusiastic about the experience, has lots of fun themselves, and is highly attentive to passengers. We'll absolutely be back for a 3rd time.

On the day of the tour, the weather and temperature were unusually pleasant for the rainy season, surprising even the guide, and it wasn't cold at all when we entered the sea. The staff were friendly and really helped to create a lively atmosphere. The water was shallow, reaching just below my waist, but I was able to see a variety of colorful tropical fish and sea turtles while snorkeling. Since I can swim, I would have liked to take off my life jacket and wear fins to dive a bit (though it might not have been safe). Overall, it was an amazing experience.

The hamburger was also very delicious. The staff were all wonderful, and I would like to participate again on a sunny day when I go back to Hawaii.
天気があまり良くなかった日で、水が高めで寒かったですが、、充分楽しめました!!
シュノーケリングも綺麗に魚が見え、ウミガメも見れたので満足です!
ハンバーガーもとっても美味しかったです☆
スタッフの方もみんな良い方でまたハワイに行く際は天気のいい日に参加したいと思います♡

The dolphin teacher swam slowly, and we were able to swim together for a long time! I couldn't believe how long the turtle professor stayed in the same spot; it was truly mystical. I enjoyed the activities, and I even saw a rainbow, making it a very satisfying tour.
イルカ先生がゆっくり泳いでくれて、たくさんの時間一緒に泳ぐことができました!
カメ教授もあんなに長い時間同じところにいてくれるなんて信じられないくらいに見ることができて、神秘的でした。
アクティビティも楽しめたし、虹も見れて大満足なツアーでした。

I was able to see a lot of dolphins, just as the tour title promised! It takes about an hour by bus from the city to the port, but it can be quite bumpy, so if you are prone to motion sickness, it's a good idea to prepare some medication. Also, they recommend using sunscreen that does not contain ingredients harmful to coral. Everyone on the tour was cheerful, and we had a great time on the boat.
ツアーのタイトル通りたくさんのイルカに会えました!
市内から港まではバスで約一時間ですが結構ゆれるので車酔いする方は酔い止めを準備したほうがよいです。
また日焼けどめは珊瑚を傷つける成分がないものをとのことです。
ツアーみなさんが明るく、船上でも楽しく過ごせました。

First of all, the pickup was in a passenger car instead of a large bus, which made for a comfortable ride, and the air conditioning wasn't too cold, which was great for someone with cold sensitivity.
On the way to Hanauma Bay, our guide, Chieko, shared information about Hawaii's geography, culture, and delicious places to eat. Upon arrival, we smoothly completed various procedures guided by Chieko and took the trolley to Hanauma Bay Beach. We quickly equipped ourselves with the provided snorkeling gear, life jackets, and fins and headed straight into the ocean. At this time, Chieko made sure to take a commemorative photo before my hair got messy.
From here, we were told to go at our own pace, so I will write from the perspective of a beginner with average swimming skills. First, there was a thorough explanation of how to swim, stand, and safety issues in the shallow water, and we started swimming fairly quickly. Even in the shallow water, we enjoyed a variety of colorful fish and corals, but once we got used to it, we splashed out into deeper water, where we encountered swirling silver fish and even sea turtles.
Chieko guided us, saying things like, "There are often such-and-such over there, follow me!" as we swam around Hanauma Bay, and by the end, I was exhausted and made my way back to the beach. They also helped with transporting the equipment and cleaning up, so after snorkeling, it was a breeze to just enjoy the complimentary chips and water. Personally, this was the most fun activity I had in Hawaii.
I think it's worth booking this experience whether you're a snorkeling novice or an expert, unless you want to relax on the beach at your own pace or play with family and friends at the water's edge without worrying about time; this is a tour that moves quickly and efficiently.
まず、迎えが大型バスでは無く乗用車なので乗り心地がよく空調も寒くないので冷え性にはありがたかったです。
ハナウマ湾までの道すがら、ガイドのチエコさんがハワイの地理や文化、美味しい店などを教えてくれます。
到着すると、チエコさんに導かれるまま、スムーズに色々な手続きをクリアし、トロリーに乗ってハナウマ湾ビーチに到着。用意された、シュノーケル、ライフジャケット、足ひれを装備して早速海へ。この際、チエコさんが髪が乱れる前にしっかり記念撮影してくれます。
ここからは、各人のペースに合わせてとのことなので、あくまで泳ぎが普通レベル&シュノーケリング初体験の一例として書きます。
まず浅瀬でしっかりと泳ぎ方、立ち方、安全や罰金事項の説明があり、割とあっさりと泳ぎ始めました。浅瀬でもたくさんの色とりどりな魚群やサンゴが楽しめましたが、慣れてきたら沖の方へザブザブ繰り出し、そこではクルクル回り続ける銀色の魚や、ウミガメにも会うことができました。
アソコには良く何何がいるよ〜、付いてきて〜と案内してくれるチエコさんのピンクの足ヒレを追いかけてハナウマ湾を泳ぎ周り、最後にはヘトヘトになってビーチにあがりました。
各種装備の運搬や、後片付けもしてくれるので、シュノーケリング後はサービスのポテチと水を頂くだけの楽チンな初シュノーケリングでした。個人的には今回のハワイのアクティビティの中で一番楽しかったです。
よっぽどハナウマ湾に詳しい人でなければ、シュノーケリング素人でも玄人でも頼むべきだと思います。
ただ、自分のペースでビーチでのんびりしたい、波打ち際で家族や友達とワイワイ時間を気にせず遊びたいといった人には向きません、サクサクサクーっとスピーディに潜って帰るツアーです。
Ryosuke, thank you for joining the tour with your partner. It was lucky that there were no other customers that day, so it became a private tour just for the two of you. We consider the condition of our guests and the sea conditions of the day to guide you to the best points at that time. On this day, it seemed that the visibility was better further out than inside, so we headed out to the central sandy area shaped like a heart. We were able to see a school of giant trevally swimming in circles and a turtle that swam slowly without fleeing. You both did very well, especially for your first time. Please be sure to join us again for a tour when you come back to Hawaii. Let's swim vigorously again! Thank you very much. Mahalo!!
リョウスケ様、この度はお二人でツアーにお越しいただき、ありがとうございます。
この日は他のお客様がいなかったのでお二人だけの貸切ツアーとなり、ラッキーでしたね。お客様の状態やその日の海のコンディションを考えて、その日その時間帯のベストポイントをご案内させていただいております。この日はインサイドよりも沖側の方が透明度が良さそうだったので、沖に出て中央のハートの砂地まで行ってみました。グルグル回りながら泳ぐギンガメアジの群れや、逃げずにゆっくり泳いでくれた亀ちゃんにも会えましたね。初めてなのにとてもお上手でしたよ。
是非またハワイにお越しの際にはお二人でツアーにリピートしてくださいね。またガンガン泳ぎましょう!!
本当にありがとうございました。Mahalo!!

BBQ lunch included.
The lunch service was inefficient, and we were able to get the last portion after about 15 minutes before moving on. I hurriedly ate. It's definitely something you should experience at least once, but the weather is really important.

My son had a phenomenal time and can’t wait to go again. I have issues snorkeling but I was hopeful I wouldn’t have issues with this. Let’s just say I am extremely thankful that I did it once and that the staff was so very patient and helpful with people like me (who have water issues). I can’t say enough about how great the people are who work this tour and everyone should do it (at least once)

If you're going to the sandbar, I definitely recommend Heaven's Sea (Captain Bruce's). Other tours seem to guide you to places a bit further away.
The sea was cold, but the sandbar was very mystical, and I was able to see sea turtles, which made for great memories. The timing wasn't very good, and the tide only went down to about waist level, so I want to try again someday for a better experience.
The tour crew was also very fun, and the lunch was delicious.
サンドバーに行かれるなら絶対天国の海(キャプテンブルース)がおすすめです。ほかのツアーはすこし離れたところでの案内だそうです
海は寒かったけどサンドバーはとても神秘的でウミガメも見れたのでいい思い出になりました。タイミングがあまりよくなく腰の位置ぐらいまでしか潮がひかなかったのでいつかまたリベンジしたいと思います。
ツアーのクルーもとても楽しくランチもおいしかったです

Thanks to the clear weather, the scenery was absolutely beautiful. The sandbar had knee-deep seawater, but it was not a problem. The staff were cheerful and fun, making for an enjoyable time. The lunch was delicious as well. I was able to spot a sea turtle while snorkeling. I was a bit wobbly on my first stand-up paddleboarding experience, but it was fun. I would love to join this tour again when I come back to Hawaii. I hope to reunite with the staff!
晴天だったおかげで、最高に綺麗な景色でした。砂洲は膝くらい海水がありましたが問題ありません。
スタッフも明るく、楽しい方ばかりで楽しいひと時でした。ランチも美味しかったです。シュノーケルで海カメ発見できました。初サップへっぴり腰だったけど楽しかった。
