This was my first time snorkeling in Hawaii. The weather was the best it had been during our stay, and since it was an afternoon tour, it wasn't cold at all—the timing was perfect! My wife, who can't swim, was able to glide through the water for an hour of snorkeling with the help of a life jacket and fins, thanks to Chieko's clear explanations and teaching style. We were amazed by the colorful small fish and schools of large parrotfish and ladyfish right in front of us. At one point, Dan called us over, and we saw a sea turtle up close. It was my first time seeing a sea turtle at such a reachable distance, and I was truly moved. I think this was the best snorkeling experience I've ever had. Although I couldn't take good pictures with my underwater camera, I was really glad to be able to download photos from Dan's Facebook. Thank you for a wonderful time that I could get lost in. Next time, I plan to join this tour again with my daughter and her husband and my grandchildren.
ハワイでのシュノーケリングは初めてでした。
滞在中で一番良い天気だったことと、午後からのツアーだったので寒くもなく、タイミングはバッチリでした!
泳げない妻もライフジャケットとフィンをつけて、ちえこさんのわかりやすい説明と教え方で1時間のシュノーケリングをスイスイと泳ぐこと出来てびっくりでした。
目の前を色とりどりの小魚や大きなアオブダイやレディーフィッシュの群れ…
途中でダンさんに呼ばれて近くまで行くと海ガメがいました。
手の届くような距離で海ガメを見るのは初めてで本当に感動しました。
今まで体験したシュノーケリングで一番良かったと思います。
持参した水中カメラも上手く写せなかったのですが、ダンさんのFBで写真もダウンロードさせてもらえて本当に良かったです。
夢中になれる素敵な時間をありがとうございました。
次回は娘夫婦や孫たちと一緒にまたこのツアーに参加しようと思います。

The sea turtles were adorable. The sea turtles that appeared all over the ocean were amazing. My first snorkeling experience was fun, and I also enjoyed the BBQ-style lunch. However, perhaps due to the season, the shallow areas were deeper than I expected, which was a bit disappointing.
The warm drink service after coming out of the sea was comforting, not just in terms of taste, and the staff were friendly, making the overall experience enjoyable.
ウミガメが可愛かったです。
海のあちこちに現れるウミガメが最高でした。
初めてのシュノーケリング体験も楽しく、お昼のBBQ風のランチも楽しめました。
ただ、時期的なものなのか、浅瀬が思ったよりも深く、イメージと少し違っており、残念でした。
海からあがった後の温かい飲み物サービスは、味云々ではなく、ホッとする事ができ、スタッフさんの人柄も良く、全体的に楽しめました。

The long-awaited Hanauma snorkeling experience was amazing! At 60 years old and not a strong swimmer, I quickly signed up for this tour because I wanted to experience it with my grandchildren. I was worried about the strong sunlight since I could only go in the afternoon, but it turned out to be a cold morning, so the afternoon was the right choice. I received a thorough briefing from Fumio and then headed straight into the sea. At first, I got some seawater in my mouth, but with Fumio's guidance, I was able to see a honu (sea turtle) right away. As I swam with the beautiful schools of white fish, I got used to it, and thanks to the fins, I felt like a mermaid! My son's family was also delighted and said they want to do it again. Thank you very much!

Previously, I participated in this tour during my honeymoon and was moved by the sea turtles, so this time I joined with my two children, making it a family of four. At the sandbar, we played volleyball with the staff and other participants, and a Japanese staff member took some wonderful photos for us, which was a lot of fun. The hamburger we had on the boat was as delicious as rumored. Thank you very much!

Since I was staying at the Sheraton Waikiki, the check-in location was close and easy to find. The reception and the crew on the boat did not understand Japanese at all, but if you know some simple English and words, you'll manage just fine.
I snorkeled freely where there were about 4 to 5 sea turtles. The turtles would come up to the surface to breathe multiple times, so I was able to take pictures up close, which made me very happy. The crew members occasionally checked in with a friendly "Are you okay?" in broken English, which was nice.
The sailing was headed towards Diamond Head, and the waves were really rough, making it feel like an attraction. However, since the waves splashed onto the boat and soaked us completely, I recommend putting important items in waterproof bags.
I went with my family of five adults, and even my mother, who didn't snorkel, was very satisfied with the sailing experience. Additionally, they provided a drink menu in Japanese, so I was able to enjoy my favorite drinks while taking in the beautiful ocean, which made me very happy!
シェラトンワイキキに宿泊していたため、受付場所も近く分かりやすかったです。受付や船の船員さんは日本語が全く通じませんが、簡単な英語と単語が分かれば何とかなります。
シュノーケルは海亀が4〜5匹いるところで自由にシュノーケルしました。海亀は何度も息つぎしに海面に上がってくるので近くで写真を撮ったりもでき、大満足でした◡̈⃝
乗務員のお兄さんたちも時折、片言ですが『だいじょぶ?』と声をかけてくれて、フレンドリーでした。
セーリングはダイヤモンドヘッド方面に向かい波がすごく荒かったので、アトラクション感覚で楽しめました。ただ、波が船の上に上がってきて、全身濡れるので、大事なものは防水の袋などにいれて持って行った方がいいと思います。
成人してる家族5人で行きましたが、シュノーケルしない母もセーリングが楽しかったと大満足でした。またドリンクメニューは日本語の紙を渡してくれたので、好きなお酒を飲みながら綺麗な海も見れて大満足でした!

In the morning, a dedicated bus came to pick us up near the hotel. From there, we traveled by boat to the location where the dolphins were. During the first two attempts, we couldn't see any dolphins, and I was worried about whether we would get to see them, but we were able to see them swimming underwater!
Due to lack of sleep and fatigue, along with the low water temperature, I ended up feeling seasick towards the end, but I’m glad I had this valuable experience.
I think it would be better to prepare some motion sickness medication if possible.
朝は専用バスがホテル近くまで迎えに来てくれました。
そこから船でイルカのいる場所まで移動。最初の二回はイルカは見えず、会えるかどうか不安でしたが無事に水中を泳ぐ姿が見れました!
寝不足と疲労、それから水温が低かった為に最後の方は船酔いしてしまいましたが、貴重な体験ができて良かったです。
酔い止めは出来れば用意した方が良いと思います。
Thank you for your message. I'm glad you were able to see dolphins. Please come visit us again when you're in Hawaii. Some people may experience seasickness due to jet lag, so if possible, I recommend joining the dolphin tour on the second day or later.

We had always wanted to visit the Sandbar and snorkel in the Kaneohe area. Captain Bob's made it enjoyable . The crew was pleasant and the food was great. It was a relaxed atmosphere (meaning, not too regulated) so we could pretty much do whatever we wanted. There were lots of turtles and fish. The only drawback was that it was more crowded than I'd imagined it would be. Maybe it would be less busy when the keikis go back to school.

We arrived at the sandbar just before noon under cloudy skies, and it was a bit chilly with the wind. At the sandbar, we practiced snorkeling in the shallowest area, which was about knee-deep for adults, as my first-grade grandson was trying it for the first time. After that, we enjoyed watching tropical fish and sea turtles in deeper waters. It was quite a good tour.
曇り空の中、昼前にサンドバーに着いたが、風もあり、肌寒かった。サンドバーでは、一番浅い場所で、大人の膝下位で、初めてのシュノーケリングに1年生の孫が、挑戦するため、練習しました。その後、深い場所で、熱帯魚や海亀を見て楽しみました。なかなか、良いツアーでした。

We used this service for our honeymoon. The small boat was packed with about 40 adults and around 5 instructors. No matter how much profit is at stake, that was terrible. I am a diver, and even on boats of similar size, the limit is 10 people.
There was hardly any space to sit, and of course, there were beginners in snorkeling, so when we spotted dolphins, everyone was flailing around in the water, and the dolphins quickly disappeared. It was handled in a way that made it feel like just being lucky to see them once! Therefore, I do not recommend this company for those hoping for a leisurely dolphin swim.
The camera fees were also exorbitant, with still images costing $60 and both still images and videos costing $100, which is shocking. Additionally, although it was optional, there was also a charge for the wetsuit. There was only one photographer for 40 people. When I checked the photos after returning home, despite paying a high price, I only had about 20 photos of myself. I am not satisfied with this.
I believe that if they reduced the capacity to around 20 people and added another photographer, the tour would be much better. I hope for improvements.
I was truly happy to see wild dolphins, even just once. For my next trip to Hawaii, I plan to use a different tour company.
Thank you.

小さな船に大人40人とインストラクター約5人がぎゅうぎゅう詰めでした。
いくら利益の為とはいえ、あれはひどいです。私はダイバーですが、ダイビングでは同じような大きさの船でも10人が限度です。
座るところを探してもないぐらいの押込み具合で、もちろんシュノーケリング初めての方もいらっしゃいますので、イルカを見つけると、海上でバタバタし、イルカもすぐにいなくなりました。一目見れただけでラッキーだね!という捌き方なので、ゆっくりドルフィンスイムを希望の方にはこちらの会社はオススメ致しません。
カメラ撮影も高額で、静止画で60ドル、静止画&動画は100ドルと驚きの価格です。その上任意ですが、ウェットスーツ代も取られます。
カメラマンは40人に対して、1人だけです。帰国後に写真を確認すると、高額を支払ったにもかかわらず、やはり自身の写真は20枚前後です。これには納得がいきません。
定員数を20人程にし、カメラマンをもう一人増やせば、もっとよりよいツアーになると思います。改善されることを希望致します。

After reading the experiences, I was excited to participate because I heard we could see turtles and a lot of fish. Last time I joined an outrigger tour, there were many turtles, and I was really impressed, so I expected something similar this time. However, the waves were a bit high at the location, and there were many children and non-swimmers in the same group, so we probably couldn't go out too far this time. There weren't many fish, and of course, there were no turtles or seals... it left us wondering what we came here for. (laughs) Maybe it would have been better to snorkel on our own in Waikiki... I think it depends on the day! Also, the tour guide was very kind and nice. The transportation and care were excellent! So, you can participate with peace of mind! My rating reflects the condition of the sea that day.
体験談を見て、亀が見れて魚もたくさんみれるとのことで、期待して参加。
前回アウトリガー 前からのツアーに参加したら亀がたくさんいて、大感動したのでそんな感じかなと。
思ってましたが、現地では波も高めで同じグループの方も子供や泳げない人も多めで今回はあまり沖に出られなかったのかな?
魚も大していなくて、亀やアザラシはもちろんいなくて、、、何しにきたんだろうわたし達ってゆう感想でした。笑

評価はこの日の海の状態と言った感じです。
Dear Chibitaro, thank you for joining our tour. Unfortunately, when the tide is high, waves often occur, and during such times, safety is our top priority, so we cannot go out to sea. I apologize for that. Additionally, many people participate in our tours, especially during this summer vacation season, where often half of the participants are children from multi-generational families. In such cases, the instructors must prioritize support for children and those who cannot swim, which may slow down the tour and lead to dissatisfaction among more experienced guests. I sincerely apologize for this.
Please don't let this discourage you; when the sea conditions are good, Hanauma Bay is truly beautiful, with a variety of fish to see. If you have the opportunity, I hope you will visit again.
Next time, I hope to guide you further out to sea, so I would appreciate your repeat visit. Thank you very much for coming. Mahalo!!
ちびたろう様、この度はツアーにお越しいただき、ありがとうございます。残念ながら満ち潮と重なるとどうしても波が出てしまうことが多いので、そんな時は安全第一で沖には出られないのです。ごめんなさいね。またツアーにはいろんな方が参加されますので、特にこの夏休みシーズンは3世代ファミリーでの参加も多く、人数の半数はお子様になってしまう時が多くなります。そんな時はどうしてもインストラクターはお子様や泳げない方へのサポートを優先するためにツアーがスローになったりで、上手なお客様にはご不満が出てしまうのかもしれません。本当に申し訳ございません。これに懲りずに、ハナウマ湾は海の状態が良い時に来ていただければ、本当にいろんな種類のお魚が見れてとても綺麗な海なんです。また機会がありましたらぜひ訪れてみてください。
次回は是非沖の方までご案内できればと思っておりますので、リピートしていただければと思っております。
本当にお越しいただきありがとうございました。Mahalo!!

I had a great time, so I’ll share some information for those who are new or considering a snorkeling experience. I hope this helps!
- The experience takes place on the left side as you exit the beach, where two blue umbrellas are set up. I confirmed at that time that fins are available for free (are they included in the experience plan?) so you don’t need to bring your own.
- Although it wasn't mentioned in the list of things to bring, if you are prone to motion sickness, especially seasickness, it's definitely a good idea to take some medication. The boat moves quite fast in the latter part of the experience, which might be a bit scary for those who are not fond of roller coasters.
- You can bring drinks, but it’s not necessary. Drinks are available for purchase on the boat (you pay when you disembark), so if you don’t want to carry extra items, I recommend buying them on the boat.
- During snorkeling, you can see schools of fish and turtles. I was able to see the turtles come up for air a couple of times, which was really close and exciting.
Wishing you a great experience!
楽しかったことは言うまでもないので、初めての方や、シュノーケリング体験を考えている方のための情報を書き込んでいきます。参考になれば幸いです。
・体験場所は、ビーチを出て左側に、青いパラソルが2つ並んだ場所で行います。
この時確認しましたが、フィン(足ひれ)は無料(体験プランの中に料金が入ってる?)で貸してくれるとのことでした。持参しなくても大丈夫でした。
・持参するものの中に書かれていませんでしたが、もちろん乗り物酔い、特に船酔いをする可能性がある人は、酔い止めを必ず飲んだ方がいいです。体験の後半かなりのスピードで船が移動します。ジェットコースターが苦手な方には、ちょっと怖いレベルかもしれません。
・飲み物は持参しても、しなくてもかまいません。船の中で有料(降りる時に支払います)で販売しているので、荷物が増えるのが嫌な方は船で買うことをオススメします。
・シュノーケリングについては、魚の群れや亀を見ることができます。亀は2回ほど息継ぎのため上がってきて間近で見ることができました。
良い体験になることを祈っております!

Since my wife and daughter had no experience with snorkeling and weren't strong swimmers, we decided to hire a guide. It turned out to be a great decision. The guide carefully explained the precautions and techniques, and took great care of my daughter and wife, which made me feel at ease. I definitely think that having a guide is essential for beginners.
Also, I believe it's better to wear a wetsuit for various reasons. It reduces the risk of injury from coral and helps with buoyancy. I am truly grateful to our guide for this experience.
シュノーケリング未経験かつ泳ぎが得意でない妻と娘が一緒だったので、ガイドさんをつけました。
結果は大正解でした。注意事項ややり方を丁寧に教えてもらい、娘や妻をかなりケアしてくれたので安心でした。特に初心者は断然ガイド付がいいと思います。
また、ウエットスーツは色々な意味であった方がいいと思います。珊瑚でケガするリスクや、浮きやすさがあるからです。

Last year, I went to the sandbar, and this year, the timing of the low tide didn't match, so the water level was about waist-deep. There's nothing we can do about nature. At the sandbar, I had a great time playing beach volleyball with people from overseas and had a female guide take professional-level photos of me! Also, during the turtle watching, we saw turtles swimming gracefully, and the kids were overjoyed!!
After enjoying delicious hamburgers, we went snorkeling. Although the visibility was a bit poor, I was healed by the colorful fish that ate food from my hand!
The captain, the guide, and the crew were all very kind, making it a truly enjoyable tour! I will definitely come back!
昨年もサンドバーへ行きましたが、今年も干潮タイミング合わず腰下程度の水位でした。こればかりは自然の事なので仕方ない。サンドバーでは海外の人とビーチバレーしたり、ガイドの女性にプロ並みの写真撮って頂いたりと大変楽しめました!また、タートルウォッチングでは優雅に泳ぐカメが顔も出してくれて子供も大喜び!!
美味しいハンバーガーを食べた後は、シュノーケリング。こちらも透明度はやや悪かったものの、手からエサを食べてくれる色とりどりの魚に癒されました!
キャプテン、ガイドの方、クルー、皆さん優しくて行程中ほんとに楽しいツアーでした!
また来まーす!

I was incredibly satisfied to encounter two seals and a sea turtle! Even as a beginner, I felt at ease swimming because they taught me how to use the snorkel. I appreciated that they checked in on me during the trip to see if I was okay. It was also great that they took photos before entering the water and underwater.
奇跡的にアザラシ二頭とウミガメに会う事が出来て大満足でした!初心者でもシュノーケルの使い方から色々と教えて頂けるので安心して泳ぐ事が出来ました。途中止まって大丈夫か確認してくれるのも有り難かったです。海に入る前と水中での写真を撮ってもらえるのもよかったです。

This time, I participated in snorkeling with my 13-year-old son. It was our first time snorkeling in Hawaii, and unfortunately, we didn't encounter any honu (turtles), but swimming with an incredible number of tropical fish became an unforgettable memory.
I felt very comfortable participating thanks to Fumio's thoughtful care, which is especially appreciated from a woman's perspective. Thank you so much for sending us so many photos after the tour! Next time we visit Hawaii, I definitely want to join Fumio's tour again. Thank you for this wonderful experience.
今回、13歳の息子と親子でシュノーケリングに参加しました。ハワイでのシュノーケリングは初めてで、残念ながらホヌ(亀)には出会えませんでしたが、物凄い数の熱帯魚と一緒に泳げたことは、忘れられない思い出となりました。
フミオさんの女性ならではの細やかな心遣いに安心して参加でき、とても良かったです。参加後に沢山の写真を送って下さり、本当にありがとうございました!次回、ハワイを訪れた際もまたフミオさんのツアーに是非参加したいと思います。この度はありがとうございました。

I participated with my father and son. All three of us were filled with anxiety as it was our first time snorkeling. In the end, we felt that we couldn't have done it without the guide! We didn't even know how to put on the wetsuits, and once we got into the water, we struggled to put on our fins due to the waves and ended up stumbling a lot. During those times, we received help multiple times. Especially my father, who is 70 years old, needed support in some areas. He also mentioned that he couldn't have done it without the guide! We were desperately trying to keep up with everyone, but the underwater scenery was more beautiful than we imagined, and it became the best memory of this trip! Thank you very much!
父と息子と私の三人で参加をさせて頂きました。
三人とも初めてのシュノーケリングで不安でいっぱいでした。結果としてガイドさん無しでは出来なかったという感想です!ウェットスーツの着用の仕方から分からず、また海に入ってから波に押されなかなかフィンが履けなかったりよろけてしまったり。そんな時に何度も助けて頂きました。特に父は70歳という年齢もありついていけないところもサポートして下さいました。父もガイドさん無しでは無理だった!と話していました。皆さんについていくのが必死でしたが、、海の中は想像以上に素敵でこの旅の1番の思い出となりました!!ありがとうございました!
Thank you for joining the tour with Blue Hawaii Divers. During the afternoon tour that day, we experienced the highest tide, which made for some challenging conditions with waves, but your father did a great job and persevered until the end. I remember that your 6-year-old child also swam hard, riding on Mr. Dan's back like a little turtle. I'm truly happy to hear that it became the best memory of your trip. Please do come back with your family again. We are always here to assist you. Thank you very much. Mahalo!!
この度はブルーハワイダイバースのツアーにお越しいただき、ありがとうございます。この日の午後ツアーの最中が一番の満ち潮と重なり、波もあり、ちょっと難しいコンディションでしたが、お父様も最後まで頑張ってくださいました。確か6歳のお子様もダン先生の背中に子亀のように乗っかって頑張って泳いでくれた日でしたね。旅の一番の思い出になったとまでおっしゃっていただき、本当に嬉しく思います。是非またご家族皆様でリピートしてください。
いつでも皆様のお手伝いをさせていただきますよ。
本当にありがとうございました。Mahalo!!

Thank you for joining the tour with Blue Hawaii Divers. I'm glad the weather was favorable and that you enjoyed the snorkeling experience. Your wife was very skilled; it was hard to believe she couldn't swim! The sea turtles were also in a small lagoon, making them easy to see. I'm happy to hear you were able to download the photos successfully. Please do come back next time with your daughter’s family.
We look forward to seeing you again. Thank you very much. Mahalo!!
この度はブルーハワイダイバースのツアーにお越しいただき、ありがとうございます。お天気に恵まれ、楽しくシュノーケリングを体験していただけて良かったです。奥様はとてもお上手で、泳げないだなんて思えないくらいスイスイでしたよ。ウミガメも小さなラグーンにいてくれて、とても見やすい場所でしたね。お写真も無事にダウンロードしていただけて良かったです。是非次回は娘さんファミリーとご一緒にまたお越しくださいね。
またお会いできるのをお待ちしております。
本当にありがとうございました。Mahalo!!
