Hanauma Bay Snorkel Tour with Expert Guide & Waikiki Transportation

Friendly and well prepared guide-worked well with grown ups and kid

Reviewed by: CaliforniaFamily

Our guide was cheerful, efficient (this is important when getting novices into a wetsuit!), and informative. She asked us what we wanted to see, and when my daughter said turtles, she took us straight to two turtles after an introductory snorkel lesson. This was my second trip to Hawaii, and I was so glad I finally took a lesson. For the next week, I was able to finally relax, enjoy, and see a lot of interesting sea life. The snorkel at Haunama was spectacular also.

BOB's Hawaii Underwater Scooter Adventure & Turtle Watching Tour

A fantastic experience ... but

Reviewed by: MerlinsEgo

First, allow me to emphasize just how professional and engaged the divers, driver and the captain was on this experience. Seriously these guys were fantastic .. they were always attentive, showed understanding and you felt in very capable hands the whole time. This aspect was important to my wife as she had some very serious apprehensions about doing this ..but being a dutiful husband I badgered her until she agreed :-) .. took a few weeks.

The pre-trip meeting answered any questions we had and explained the workings of the submersible in terms of engaging the motor .. but nothing in regards to steering the vessel which i thought interesting.

We had a big group of approx 20 people so we just all fitted on the small boat. The seas were a little rough so a few people got a little woozy but nothing too bad.

My wife and I were one of the first to try out the scooters and the process to get in them was simple and effective .. no diving underwater to get in them .. this was a relief to my wife. We were in the water almost immediately and already could see fish in the distance. So we were very excited !

Here is where i was a little disappointed .. we had been trained to use foot pedals to engage the motor for the propellor but mine seemed to be a much older model and had the button on the steering column. No big deal i guess except i had an underwater camera with me and hence could not use it while the motor was engaged, which is approx 80% of the time. Consequently i was unable to take many photos .. disappointed.
I now understood why we were not taught the steering of the submersible ..you don't steer it ..there is a diver that holds onto 2 of the vessels the whole time and steers it. This was disappointing as i had no control on where to go.

In summary this was a FANTASTIC experience and again i want to emphasize how good the divers and crew were .. BUT it felt more like an amusement park ride than what the marketing suggests.

Thanks guys

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＞

It was an interesting experience! 興味深い体験です！

Reviewed by: otan123

Since I was planning to go to the North Shore in the afternoon, I chose this plan without a shuttle service. I arrived by rental car, and although there was no bench at the meeting point "Deli," the local staff were accommodating, so it wasn't a problem. I was worried about whether the tour would proceed due to the rain in the morning, but we only experienced a delay in preparation because of the rain, and we departed 15 minutes later with two boats. Everyone was Japanese, and it seemed that many participants were those who had taken the shuttle from Waikiki. Perhaps there was a Japanese-speaking guide. Despite the rain getting stronger at times, I didn't feel seasick, and we were able to see both sea turtles and manta rays. The water at Sandbar was about knee-deep, but I was very satisfied that we could land there. I didn't have high expectations for snorkeling, but there were life jackets available, so it was completely fine even if you couldn't swim. There were about 40 people swimming in lines along the coral reef, and since the time was limited and we swam the same route back and forth, it was crowded. My child was more concerned about bumping into the feet of the person in front or hitting the coral rather than looking at the fish, so it might have been better to wait on the boat. The participants were obedient to the instructions of the two Japanese female staff members, but one was kind while the other couldn't hide her condescending attitude. At the very beginning, when assigning guests to the boats, it seemed they didn't grasp the number of people who weren't participating via the shuttle bus, or perhaps their Japanese was actually limited. They acted arrogantly as if there were customers boarding without permission after exceeding the boarding limit, and after a debate about what was said, one of them yelled in Japanese, "Isn't it enough to just apologize?!" and then continued to assert herself in English towards her busy colleague, treating us as if we were completely at fault, which made for a rather strange experience in Hawaii. If there were English speakers present, that behavior wouldn't have happened. However, I have great respect for the local staff who worked hard without showing any displeasure in the rain. It seems there are no showers at the port, so I think it's better to prepare to return in wet swimsuits with towels and warm clothing. You can leave your belongings on the boat, but since there are no waterproof bags, it's also good to prepare for that.

午後にノースショアへ行く予定だったので、送迎ナシでこのプランを選びました。レンタカーで到着し、集合場所の「Deli」のベンチはなかったですが、現地のスタッフが対応してくれて問題なかったです。朝から雨で催行されるのか不安でしたが、雨で準備が遅れただけで二船で１５分後に出航しました。全員日本人で、ワイキキからの送迎による参加の方が多かったようです。もしかしたら日本語ガイド付きだったのかもしれません。ときおり強くなる雨の中、酔う事もなく、ウミガメもマンタも見られて、サンズバーは膝ぐらいでしたが、上陸出来て大満足です。シュノーケリングはあまり期待してなかったのですが、ライフジャケットがあり、泳げなくても全然大丈夫です。４０人ぐらいでサンゴ礁に沿って数列で泳ぐ形でしたし、時間も限られ往復同じ経路を泳ぐため混みこみで、前の人の足があたるか、サンゴに足が当たるかに気をとられ、魚を見るよりそちらを気にして子供は怖がっていました。船で待っていても良かったかもしれません。参加者の皆さん、素直に二人いる日本人？女性スタッフの言うことに従っておられましたが、一人は親切、一人は上からな態度が隠せないスタッフでした。最初どちらの船に客を割り振るかの時点で、送迎バスで参加していない人の人数を把握していないのか、日本語が実は不自由なのか、乗船制限を超えて割り振った挙句、勝手に乗り込んでいる客がいるかのように横柄に振る舞い、言った言わないの水かけ論の後、謝ればいいんでしょ！と日本語でわめき、その後も忙しく準備している同僚に対し英語で自己主張し、こちらに全部非があって、完全に変な客扱い・発言で、ハワイに来て違った意味で興味深い体験でした。英語圏の人がいたらあの振る舞いはないでしょうね。でも雨の中嫌な顔一つ見せず頑張っていた現地スタッフの方たちの働きには頭が下がりました。港にはシャワーがない様子なので、タオルや防寒具など濡れた水着のまま帰る準備をしておいた方が良いと思います。荷物は船に残しておけますが、防水バッグ等はないのでそちらの準備もしておくと良いです。

Snorkeling is the best! シュノーケリング最高‼️

I definitely want to participate again! It was great to see dolphins and turtles up close. The instructors were all fun, and I enjoyed the travel time as well. This became my favorite memory from my 7-day trip to Hawaii, and I want to recommend it to my friends and participate again.

After snorkeling, I had a great time playing on the slide and dancing with the staff. Everything was wonderful. The day I went was sunny, but it got a bit chilly when I was in the shade after coming out of the water. Since it was an early morning tour, I still had time to play in the ocean afterward. The photo and video sales were about 10,000 yen for one family. They also sold trainer T-shirts on the bus. Thank you to the staff for a fun half-day!

‼️とにかく 又参加したい‼️
間近でイルカ 亀に会えて とても良かったです。

I was worried about oversleeping with an early departure, but they even gave me a morning call. During the boat ride to where the dolphins were, our Japanese guide, Miu, and the crew were all cheerful and made it enjoyable. The dolphins swam close by, and we also got to see turtles up close!

The sea water was a bit cold, but the weather was nice, so I was able to enjoy snorkeling, the slide, and paddleboarding comfortably. The hamburger was delicious too!

I made the best memories on the last day of my stay in Hawaii. I'm really glad I participated!!!

ハワイ水中スクーター　泳げなくてもOK！シーボブで海底散歩＆シュノーケリングクルーズ

It's easy!! 簡単にできる！！

Reviewed by: さんた

I believe the place where I watched the Japanese video before getting on the boat was near Kakaako.

The reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that while they take photos for you, I thought it was a bit expensive, so I gave it 4 stars (I don't remember the price ^^;).

Since there is food for the fish on the scooter, they came swimming around a lot, which was really fun!! You can also eat plenty of snacks!

Unlike diving, even those who can't swim can easily participate. However, this means there are fewer activity elements. When I went diving at another place, they provided thorough instructions on equalizing, but here the video only said, "If your ears hurt, please equalize," so I felt that some people might struggle with that.

恐らく、ボートや乗る前の日本語ビデオを見た場所はカカアコ付近だったと思います。

最初に星5ではない理由ですが、写真を撮ってくれるのですが、高いなぁと思ったので星4つにしました(値段は覚えてないです^^;)。

スクーターにエサが付いているので、魚が凄い寄ってきて楽しかったです！！スナックもいっぱい食べれます！

ダイビングと違い、泳げない人でも簡単に乗ることが出来ます。その分、アクティビティ要素は少ないです。
ですが、他の場所でダイビングをした時は、耳抜きの説明を入念にされたましたが、こちらはビデオで「耳が痛ければ耳抜きをして下さい」程度の説明だけなので、出来ない人もいるんじゃないかな？と感じました。

イルカ大学　イルカウォッチング＆シュノーケリングクルーズ　イルカと泳ぐプランも！マリンアクティビティも充実＜ランチ付き／日本語／ワイキキ＆コオリナ送迎可＞

I persevered and got to see dolphins! 粘ってイルカ見れました！

Reviewed by: ＲＹＯ

I participated in multiple dolphin swim tours over consecutive days, and it's no surprise that this tour is ranked number one in popularity.

At first, during the dolphin snorkeling, I ended up at the back of the group and, unfortunately, I only caught a brief glimpse of the dolphins. However, when I honestly mentioned this while confirming whether I had seen any dolphins, they offered a second try for those who wanted it. Although the dolphins didn't come very close during that attempt, I was already satisfied just to have the opportunity. To my surprise, they changed the location and gave me a few more minutes for a third try, and I was finally able to see the dolphins swimming.

I could really feel their strong belief that "if there are dolphins there, we will definitely show them to everyone."

After the activity, the cheeseburgers grilled by the captain on the boat are absolutely delicious. If you can't eat them on the spot, you can take them home, but the freshly made ones are truly tasty.

Hawaii tends to have strong winds, and the boat sways more compared to Kerama and Ishigaki Islands. Considering the time difference and climate changes, my body felt more fatigued than expected, so even those who are usually fine with motion sickness might want to take some anti-nausea medication just in case (the placebo effect shouldn't be underestimated). On the day of the tour, just over 10% of the participants experienced motion sickness.

Also, I strongly recommend bringing the items listed outside the voucher section. Personally, I think a wetsuit rental, two bath towels, a change of clothes, anti-nausea medication, water (to take the medication before boarding), and cash are essential. Since there are places where you might get splashed, it's a good idea to take precautions to keep your belongings dry.

I wrote a lot, but I had a very enjoyable and extraordinary experience. If I have the chance to participate in another dolphin swim tour, I will definitely choose this tour again.

連日複数のイルカスイムツアーに参加しましたが、ツアー人気No.1というのは当然だと思います。
はじめイルカスノーケリングでは最後尾についたため、運悪く私だけがイルカの影をちらっと見た程度だったのですが、イルカが見れたかどうかの確認で正直に話したらさらに希望者だけのセカンドトライを行ってくれました。そのときはイルカはあまり近くに来てくれなかったのですが、そこまで行っていただいただけでも満足していました。と思いきやさらにポイントを変えて私だけ数分間サードトライをしてもらい、最終的にイルカが泳ぐ姿を見ることができました。
天候の都合等もあるかと思いますが、「そこにイルカがいるなら絶対に全員に見せるんだ」という強い信念をひしひしと感じました。
運動後、船長が船上で焼いてつくるチーズバーガーは絶品です。その場で食べれない方は持って帰れますが、熱々の出来立ては本当においしいです。
ハワイは風が強く、船の揺れも慶良間や石垣島と比べて大きくなる印象です。時差や気候の違いも含めて身体が予想以上に疲れているので、船酔いに強い人も念のために酔い止めを飲まれた方がいいかもしれません（プラシーボ効果も侮れません）。当日は１割強の人が船酔いで体調を崩していました。
あとバウチャー欄外に記載のおすすめの持ち物は本当に持って行った方がいいと感じました。個人的には、ウェットスーツレンタル、バスタオル２枚、着替え、酔い止め、水（船に乗る前に酔い止めを飲むため）、現金、が必須だと思います。場所によっては水がかかるので、荷物の中身が濡れないような工夫はしておいた方がいいです。
長々と記載しましたが、とても楽しく、非日常的な時間を過ごすことができました。またイルカスイムツアーに参加する機会があるなら、間違いなくこのツアーを選びます。

I searched for Hawaii OP and decided on VELTRA after reading various reviews. From the reservation stage, I felt well taken care of, and I was glad I chose VELTRA.

The morning meeting was quite early, but they provided a wake-up call, and the staff member Miyu was very pleasant and guided us throughout the day.

As for the tour itself, all the staff provided a wonderful Hawaiian hospitality experience, which was fantastic. Of course, we were thrilled to see dolphins and honu ❤️ My husband jumped into the sea and within five minutes, he cramped up in both legs and had to signal for help, and the staff came to his rescue. They were lifesavers. The weather was perfect, but the seawater was a bit cold, and since the bus had air conditioning on the way to and from the site, I think a jacket is necessary. For lunch, snacks like pineapple and hamburgers were provided, but if you're a big eater, I recommend bringing some light snacks besides bananas. I'm really glad I participated.

Hawaii OPを探して あちこちの口コミを見て読んでVELTRAさんに決めました。予約の段階から気持ちの良い対応をして頂き VELTRAさんに決めて良かったと感じました。
朝の集合かなり早かったですがモーニングコールもしてもらい スタッフさんの未優ちゃんが とても気持ち良く 1日を案内してくれました。
肝心なツアーですが スタッフの皆さん とてもハワイアンなおもてなしで 最高でした。勿論 イルカ・ホヌも見れて感激❤️ 夫が海へ飛び込み5分で両脚がツリ すぐにリタイアサインを送り スタッフさんに助けてもらいました。命の恩人です お天気は最高に良かったですが 海水少し冷たく行き帰りのバスは冷房が効いているので上着は必要だと思います。ランチにスナック パイナップル ハンバーガーが出ますが大食いな方はバナナ以外の軽食持参した方がよろしいかと…。参加して良かったです。

I participated with my 5-year-old son and family.

I was worried about seasickness, but we arrived at the sandbar in about 10 to 15 minutes. During that time, we enjoyed freshly made malasadas, and by the time my son was engrossed in eating, we had reached the sandbar.

The guide staff were friendly, and we had a great time. They paid special attention to the children, engaging with them and playing together, which made the experience even more enjoyable.

We were able to take many photos at the sandbar.

We split into groups for snorkeling and playing at the sandbar, and we chose to stay at the sandbar.

During that time, we were lent floaties and paddleboards, allowing us to have fun and take many photos that captured the essence of Hawaii.

The lunch buffet was also very delicious.

This is a tour I would like to join again if I have the opportunity.

On the way back, we rode the bus in our swimsuits, but there were towels on the seats, so there was no discomfort at all.

5歳の息子と家族で参加しました。

船酔いも心配しましたが、サンドバーまで10分か15分くらいで到着。
その間出来立てのマラサダを頂いて、息子は夢中で食べてる間にサンドバー到着。

ガイドのスタッフの方も気さくで楽しく過ごせました。
子供を特に気にして頂いて、たくさん声を掛けてもらったり、一緒に遊んでもらってずーっと楽しく過ごせました。

サンドバーで写真もたくさん撮ってもらえました。

シュノーケリングするグループと、サンドバーで遊ぶグループに分かれて、私達はサンドバーに残りました。

その間、浮き輪やパドルボートなどを貸して頂いて、楽しく遊べてハワイらしい写真もたくさん撮れました。

ランチバイキングもすごく美味しかったです。

また行く機会があれば参加したいツアーです。

帰りのバスは水着のまま乗りますが、シートにはバスタオルがひかれていて、不快感はまったくなかったです。

Unfortunately, the weather was cloudy and cold on the day of the tour, which made the conditions less than ideal, but I thought the tour itself was very good. I can only imagine how much fun it would have been if it had been sunny!

Despite the weather bringing everyone's spirits down a bit, our guide Yuki's bright enthusiasm really lifted the mood. She was amazing. Looking back, I have nothing but good memories. I realized how much the experience can change depending on the staff. (The day before, on a tour with another company, both the weather and the guide were quite gloomy and terrible.)

The travel time, time to play at the sandbar, time to observe sea turtles, and time for snorkeling were all perfectly balanced, making it a tour that never got boring. I would definitely like to participate again.

The air conditioning on the bus to the destination was freezing, but the driver didn't turn it off. I hope this can be improved. On the way back, thanks to Yuki's help, it was comfortable. Thank you.

We took the Lunch cruise from the Hilton Pier on Waikiki beach to see the sea turtles, it was a great time to go out onto the water. Nice short ride out to the turtle area. The crew was fantastic, very informative and friendly. Gave great instructions on how to see the turtles and one of the crew members was in the water for assistance and to answer questions. After viewing the turtles they put the sail up and we sailed a little further out to sea and that was fun and exciting. Very nice lunch buffet and a few Mai Tais also made it a great time.

I couldn't graduate from Dolphin University, but... I'll get my revenge next time!! イルカ大学卒業できなかったけど.... 次回リベンジ!!

Reviewed by: RU-

The crew members were cheerful, and the relaxed rules on the boat and the sea were uniquely Hawaiian, which was great. I was surprised to learn that bringing bananas or banana-patterned items on board is prohibited! The reason is that they can make fishing slippery. I wonder if someone brought bananas this time, which is why we didn't see any dolphins? At the snorkeling spot, the crew searched for the best position for that day. The sea was clear, and we could see the seabed at over 25 meters. It would have been amazing to encounter dolphins... Additionally, I was excited to have a rare encounter with whales in March. There were many sea turtles while we were cruising, so it was a tour that made me feel the richness of nature. Although we didn't see any dolphins this time, I heard that next time I come to Hawaii, I can participate in the free dolphin school, so I want to try again.

船員の方が陽気で、船上や海のルールなどもハワイ独特な緩さがあってよかったです。驚いたのはボートにバナナまたバナナ柄のものを持ち込み禁止!!理由は漁が滑るからだそうです。今回、バナナを持ち込んでしまった方がいたからイルカがいなかったのかなー？シュノーケリングスポットではその日のベストポジションを船員の方が探してくれていました。当日の海は潮が澄んでいて海底25m以上は目視ができました。イルカに出会えたら最高だったのになー...また、3月では珍しい鯨との遭遇に興奮致しました。走行中にはたくさんの海ガメがいたので自然の豊かさを感じるツアーでした。今回、イルカには会えませんでしたが次回ハワイに来た時は無料でイルカ中学に参加できるとのことなのでリベンジしたいと思います。

We participated as a couple. Unfortunately, the weather was bad on the day, and it was very cold, so we couldn't stay in the sea for long. However, thanks to the staff's fun talks, we were able to have a great time. There was a beach volleyball net set up at the sandbar, and I think it would have been even more enjoyable on a warm day. We did snorkeling near the coral, and since it was shallow, we could see many fish up close. There were also families with small children participating, and the kids were able to enjoy themselves safely, so I recommend this activity for families!

夫婦２人で参加しました。当日は生憎のお天気でとても寒かった為、海にながく入っていることができませんでしたが、スタッフさんの楽しいトークのおかげでワイワイ楽しく過ごすことができました。サンドバーにはビーチバレーのネットが張ってあり、暖かい日であれば更に楽しかっただろうなぁと思います。シュノーケリングは珊瑚の近くで行い、浅かったため近くで沢山の魚をみることができました。小さいお子さんを連れた家族も参加されており、お子さんも安全に楽しめていたので家族で参加されるのもオススメです！

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＞

I was able to see the honu twice! °ʚ(*´꒳`*)ɞ°. ホヌに2回も会えました°ʚ(*´꒳`*)ɞ°.

Reviewed by: まめぼん

The weather was cloudy with some waves, and the visibility wasn't great, but thanks to Dan and Chieko's excellent guidance, we encountered a honu (sea turtle) twice. We also came across large schools of fish and saw many colorful and rare fish.

Since my older child is 12 and my younger one is 6, they took breaks along the way. When my younger child's glasses slipped and caused a panic, they quickly helped out. My wife, who can't swim because she's afraid of water, was kindly taught how to manage. We encountered the honu again.

We ended up retiring partway through because my younger child got tired, but he seemed satisfied. I would love to do this again if the opportunity arises.

For those considering snorkeling, I highly recommend it. However, it seems there are days when the weather and waves can be challenging, so users need to understand that aspect.

天気は曇りで波も少しあり、透明度は良くなかったけどダンさんとチエコさんの抜群の案内でホヌに2回も遭遇しました°ʚ(*´꒳`*)ɞ°.
魚の大群にも遭遇したり、カラフルな魚や珍しい魚をいっぱい見ましたꉂꉂ(ᵔᗜᵔ*)笑
上の子12歳、下の子が6歳だったので途中で休憩しながら進んでくれました。途中下の子のメガネがズレてパニックになってる時もすぐに対応してくれ、しかもウチの嫁さんはｶﾅﾂﾞﾁで泳げないのに優しく教えていただき。ホヌにも遭遇しました‎|•'-'•)و✧ 途中でしんどくなり、下の子とリタイヤしましたが本人は満足そうですꉂꉂ(ᵔᗜᵔ*)笑
また機会があればお願いしたいです。
これから、シュノーケルを考えてる方がいるなら、オススメします‎|•'-'•)و✧
ただし天気や波でどうにもならない日もあるみたいなので、そこだけ利用者も理解は必要です。

Snorkel Adventure

Reviewed by: Melanie T.

This was a great trip for my family! We did not get to see any dolphins but we got to see plenty of schools of fish and two sea turtles. The crew was excellent and made sure each and everyone of the guests had a great experience. Very patient with the kids and made it fun for them. Food was traditional Hawaiian meal and very good, with plenty of extra for seconds. Drinks were good too!

Sandbar!!! サンドバー！！！

Reviewed by: ベーコン

The tide was shallow, and there were many sea turtles, which was wonderful! If the weather had been better, it might have been even more amazing! The guide and the captain were nice people, and I had a great time.

潮も浅く、ウミガメもたくさんいて素晴らしかった！天気が良かったらもっと最高だったかも！！ガイドのお姉さんやキャプテンもいい人でとてもいい時間を過ごせました。

イルカ大学　イルカウォッチング＆シュノーケリングクルーズ　イルカと泳ぐプランも！マリンアクティビティも充実＜ランチ付き／日本語／ワイキキ＆コオリナ送迎可＞

I will never forget it. 一生忘れない

Reviewed by: ふみプリン

I woke up early and took about an hour to arrive at the port.

Based on previous experiences, I was warned about seasickness, so I took motion sickness medication and was fully prepared, but it didn't help. However, the staff were all very kind, checking on me multiple times and showing concern. Even when I felt unwell, they went out of their way to help me see the dolphins.

We then discovered a pod of dolphins a little distance away. I will never forget the sight of dolphins swimming in the water; it gave me goosebumps.

After seeing the dolphins, we enjoyed various activities like paddle boarding, sliding, and kayaking. While we were playing, the delicious smell of grilled meat filled the air. The captain himself grilled the meat and treated us to cheeseburgers. Having a meal in the ocean with such a magnificent view was the best.

They also taught us hula dancing, making it a tour full of entertainment. I truly recommend it!

朝早くに起きて1時間ほどかけて ポートに到着

以前の体験談をみて船酔いに注意とありましたので酔い止め飲んで万全の体制で行きましたが ダメでした
でもそんな中でもスタッフの方はみんな何度も声かけてくれたり気に掛けてくれとても親切でした
気持ちが悪い中 海の中に入った時も 必要以上に気を配ってくれ、イルカを見せてあげようと一生懸命に手を貸してくれました

そして少し離れたところでイルカの群れを発見
水の中で泳ぐイルカの群れ 忘れられません 海の中で鳥肌が立ちました

イルカを見た後もパドルボードやスライダーやカヤックなどで色々楽しませてくれました
遊んでる最中に お肉の焼けるいい匂い
船長さん自らお肉を焼いてチーズバーガーを振舞ってくれました
壮大な景色の中海でのご飯は最高でした

その後もフラダンスを教えてくれたり エンターテイメント制満載のツアーでした
本当にオススメです

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＞

The sandbar was amazing! サンドバー最高でした！

Reviewed by: saori

The weather was a bit bad and the wind was cold, but the staff were very kind and I was able to enjoy myself! The hamburger we had on the boat was delicious, and I thought it would be great to go again on a nice day. The snorkeling time was just right, and when I dove in, there were lots of fish, and I was able to swim with them, which was a wonderful experience! I wish I could have swum with a sea turtle, but I didn't happen to see one, so I want to try again next time! If I have the opportunity, I definitely want to participate again!☆

少し天気が悪く風が冷たかったですがスタッフの皆様もとても優しくて楽しめることができました！船の上でたべるハンバーガーも美味しくて次は天気が良い日にいけたら最高だな、と思いました^ ^ シュノーケルの時間もちょうど良くて潜ったらいっぱい魚がいて一緒に泳げてとてもいい時間が過ごせました！海ガメと一緒に泳げたら良かったけどたまたま会えなかったので次回また挑戦したいです！また機会がありましたら次回も絶対に参加したいです！☆

ハワイ水中スクーター　泳げなくてもOK！シーボブで海底散歩＆シュノーケリングクルーズ

Health management 体調管理

Reviewed by: ミクちゃんパパ

It was a medium-sized boat, so we experienced a bit of swaying (maybe a little more than expected), but it was my first time experiencing this. Since there was a bait bag attached, I gradually released some, and tropical fish about 20 centimeters long quickly gathered around, which was adorable. We had plenty of time for diving, and the instructor, who also acted as the photographer, gestured underwater so we could understand well, making it enjoyable without any stress. My wife seemed to have a bit of difficulty with the oxygen tank, but there were no emergencies, and we were able to have fun. The only downside was that even though we had an early morning gathering, I ate a muffin and coffee, which made me feel sick due to the swaying. About half of the other ten people seemed to experience seasickness as well. I think taking motion sickness medication before leaving the hotel would be necessary.

中型ボートでしたので若干のうねり（少し大きいかな？）を受けましたが一番はじめに体験しました。えさ袋が付いていたので少しずつ出すと20センチ位の熱帯魚がどんどんよった来て可愛かったです。潜水している時間も十分あり、インストラクター兼カメラの方も水中で良く分かるように手招きしてくれてストレス無く楽しかったです。家内が酸素ボンベの酸素が合わなくて若干苦しかったようですが、緊急浮上などは無く楽しめました。唯一、朝早い集合なのにマフィンとコーヒーを食べていったので、うねりで全部リ○ースして苦しみました。他の10人ほどの半分は同じく船酔いしたようです。たぶんホテル出発前に酔い止めが必要だと思います。
