I was able to participate happily even with children. 子連れでも楽しく参加できました

Reviewed by: りんりん

The hospitality of the staff was excellent, and I was able to participate in the tour with peace of mind. Their wonderful support eased the tension of the participants, and smiles were everywhere. I attended with a small child, and I am very grateful for the kind assistance from the staff. The atmosphere was great, and I was able to spend a lovely time. Thank you very much.
However, the weather was beyond our control and it was very cold, so I recommend bringing a jacket and pants. Since there are two opportunities to enter the sea, having extra towels would also be comfortable. I was worried about the cold air conditioning on the return bus, but it was turned off, which was a great help.
Lunch was very delicious.
Despite having a child with me, it was very comfortable, and I would definitely like to participate again. Thank you very much.

スタッフの方々のおもてなしがとても上手で、安心してツアーに参加できました。素晴らしい対応ばかりでツアーの参加者の緊張がどんもんほぐされ、笑顔が溢れてました。小さな子供を連れて参加しましたが、スタッフの方に優しく対応して頂き、大変感謝しております。とても雰囲気がよく、素敵な時間を過ごす事ができました。ありがとうございました。
ただ天候はどうにもならず、とても寒かったので上着やズボンを持っていくことをお勧めします。海に入る機会が2回ある為、タオルも多めにあると快適です。帰りのバスのエアコンの寒さが心配でしたが、エアコンは切ってあり、大変助かりました。
お昼ごはん、とっても美味しかったです。
子連れにもかかわらず、大変居心地がよく、また是非参加したいです。
ありがとうございました。

I'm glad the weather was favorable! 天候に恵まれて良かった！

Reviewed by: polo6

I participated in the morning plan in mid-February. The day before was rainy and cold all day, but this day was sunny and warm, making it pleasant to enter the sea.

I checked the tide levels using the Kaneohe Bay Tide Chart and aimed to book during the lowest tide of my stay. It was about an hour after the Low Tide of 0.6 feet, but the water level was up to my calves in the shallowest areas.

It was my first experience snorkeling, and it wasn't difficult at all. I was able to see many colorful fish up close, and swimming with the sea turtles was a great experience.

The staff was full of hospitality, eager to make sure we had fun. Thank you very much.

　2月中旬の午前プランで参加しました。前日は１日中雨で寒かったですが，この日は晴れて暖かく，気持ちよく海に入れました。

　Kaneohe Bay Tide Chartで潮位を調べ，滞在中もっとも潮が引くときを狙って申し込みました。Low Tide 0.6 feetの時刻の1時間後くらいでしたが，一番浅いところでふくらはぎの下くらいまで水位がありました。

　シュノーケリング初体験でしたが難しいこともなく，たくさんの色とりどりの魚を間近に見ることができましたし，ウミガメと一緒に泳げたのも良い経験になりました。

　スタッフの方々は「楽しませよう！」というホスピタリティに満ちていました。ありがとうございました。

I'm really glad I participated in the tour. After departing and finishing the eco-mai, dolphins appeared, and I was able to see them. Before that, I also encountered sea turtles! Once again, dolphins showed up, and I was able to swim with them, fulfilling my dream of swimming with dolphins in the waters of Hawaii! During snorkeling, I also encountered sea turtles and sharks, and within that short time, I was able to meet many sea creatures! I enjoyed marine sports like stand-up paddleboarding and kayaking, which are not easily available in Japan, making it a fulfilling trip. I'm truly grateful to everyone at Dolphin University. Thank you for the wonderful memories!

Dan was super friendly and informative. We had no trouble getting picked up and into the reserve. He ensured our comfort, safety and overall quelmed the anxieties of a first time snorkeler. He also carried a go pro which meant that my awesome first experience was documented. I’d absolutely recommend it as well as do it again.

I was able to meet a sea turtle! ウミガメに会えました！

Reviewed by: アヤコズ

I was able to snorkel without any anxiety because they explained the methods and sea conditions in detail in Japanese. I hadn't reserved a diving suit in advance, but they suggested that it could help prevent cold and injuries, so I borrowed one on the day. Even with the suit on, I got quite cold after about an hour of swimming, so I was really glad I could borrow it. I was moved to see not only a variety of fish but also a sea turtle up close. They picked me up from the hotel and dropped me back off, which made for a comfortable experience. They also shared various information about Hawaii during the car ride, which was helpful. Thank you for the valuable experience!

シュノーケリングの方法や海の状態を日本語でひとつひとつ丁寧に説明してもらえたので、不安なく行うことができました。ダイビングスーツを事前に申込んでいませんでしたが、寒さや怪我を防ぐことができると提案していただき、当日急遽お借りしました。スーツを着ても一時間ほど泳ぐとかなり寒くなったので、借りることができて本当によかったと思いました。たくさんの種類の魚だけでなく、ウミガメを間近で見ることができ、感動しました。ホテルでピックアップしてもらい、帰りもホテルまで送っていただけるので、快適でした。車中でもハワイのことを色々と教えてもらい、参考になりました。貴重な体験をありがとうございました！

I participated in the dolphin school. Although I wasn't expecting much since there are times when you can't see the dolphins even if they say you can swim with them, I was thrilled to encounter a dolphin right at the start. It swam right beneath us, and while spinning nearby, it jumped around, which was truly moving.

I was also able to see a large sea turtle up close, almost within reach, and I was very satisfied. The staff were bright and entertaining; at times, it felt a bit strict when we were looking for dolphins, but their desire to show us the dolphins really came through.

Overall, I was extremely tired but had a lot of fun and gained a truly valuable experience. I'm really glad I participated.

イルカ中学に参加しました。イルカと泳げると言っても見れないこともあるからあまり期待はしていなかったのですが、開始早々にイルカとご対面、私たちの真下を泳いでくれて、すぐそばでクルクル回りながらジャンプしてくれて、本当に感動しました。

On the way to the sandbar, the guide's explanations built up excitement...
When we finally arrived at the sandbar, it was even more than I imagined, and I was almost moved to tears!
It felt like I was actually walking on the water.

Also, during snorkeling, several turtles came close, and I had the wonderful experience of swimming with them, which made me very satisfied!

Awesome underwater fun.

Great adventure underwater fun. Crew were friendly and efficient . Everything supplied and even if you are not a very competent swimmer you could easily manage this activity as a fully qualified diver is in the water to assist at all times.
Ideal alternative way to get under the water if you are incapable of scuba diving. Would definitely do it again The music on the boat was from the 70's and 80's which made the trip even more enjoyable as it was what I grew up listening too

I was able to see both dolphins and turtles!! イルカもカメも見れました！！

Reviewed by: かっぱ

When I went, it was cloudy, so I was worried about whether I would be able to see dolphins, but I was able to see a pod of dolphins. They were so cute! However, I felt like the water was murky, so I would like to participate again the next time I go to Hawaii!

The spot where there were turtles and fish had clear water, and I was very impressed to see the turtles up close.

It was a very satisfying experience since it’s something I don’t usually get to do.

The guide, Julie, was very interesting, and the travel time was enjoyable without being boring.

If you need to rent a wetsuit, it costs $10 per person, so I recommend bringing cash if you are worried about the cold water.

Also, the photos taken by the photographer cost around $50, so it’s good to have a card or cash if you want them.

私が行った時は曇っていたので、イルカが見られるか心配でしたが、イルカの群れを見ることができました。
とても可愛かったです。
しかし、水が濁っていたような気がしたのでまたハワイに行く時にはまた参加したいです！

カメや魚がいたスポットは水が澄んでいて間近でカメが見れてとても感激しました。

普段なかなか体験することができないことだったのでとても満足しました。

ガイドのジュリさんのお話がとても面白く移動時間も飽きることなく楽しかったです。

ウェットスーツを借りる場合には１人10ドル必要なので、海の寒さが心配な方は現金を持っていくことをおすすめします。

またカメラマンさんが撮ってくれた写真は50ドルくらいかかるのでほしい方はカードか現金があるといいです。

I couldn't see the sandbar. サンドバーが見れなかった

Reviewed by: あいび

I signed up with the intention of leisurely walking on the sandbar. I thought I could jump around like in the photos posted. However, when I arrived, it was high tide, and I couldn't walk at all. It was disappointing that I ended up having to get into the water, even though I hadn't planned on it. I also felt that my information-gathering skills were lacking, as it was clearly stated that the sandbar couldn't be walked on in the afternoon, even though I participated in the morning...

That said, all the event staff were very nice, and even though I couldn't participate in snorkeling because I’m not good at it, they accommodated me by letting me ride a kayak and a speedboat, so I enjoyed that part. I thought the BBQ meal would be cooked on the sandbar, but it turned out to be a buffet style served on the boat. The meat was delicious, and the bone-in short ribs were my favorite flavor, so I had seconds multiple times.

I also didn't get to see any sea turtles. It seemed that those who participated in snorkeling were able to see them. Although it was called a "Heavenly Sea Tour," based on my experience on the date I attended (it rained a little too), I honestly didn't feel that way, and I thought it could have been the same at a nearby beach. I think it would be good if they clearly stated the potential downsides beforehand to manage expectations.

サンドバーをのんびり歩くつもりで申込みをしました。
掲載されてる写真のように、ジャンプしたりできるかと。
しかし、到着すると満潮で歩く事はできませんでした。
水に入るつもりもなかったのに、
水に入らざるを得ない状況になってしまったのも残念でした。
私の情報収集能力が欠けてたせいもあるのですが、
午後はサンドバーは歩けませんと大きく明記してあると、

ただ、イベントスタッフの方はみんな良い人でしたし、
シュノーケリングが苦手で参加出来しなかったのですが、
カヤックに乗せてくれたり、スピードボードに乗せてくれたり、
いろいろ対応して頂けたので、その部分は楽しめました。
食事のBBQは、サンドバーで実際に焼いて楽しむのかと思いましたが、

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

Swimming with turtles (^^) カメと遊泳(^^)

Reviewed by: ちくわ

The weather wasn't very good on the day we experienced it, and the water temperature was low. We hadn't applied for a wetsuit in advance, but the guide recommended that we rent one on the spot for an additional $10. I'm really glad we borrowed the wetsuits! It was cold, and since we swam in shallow water, if we hadn't had them, I think I would have been shivering from the cold and scraping my knees.

Although the weather was bad and the water clarity was low, we were lucky enough to encounter turtles twice.

The guide spoke fluent Japanese, and I was able to casually ask various questions.

It was a very good experience!

体験した日はあまり天気も良くなく、水温も低かったです。
私たちは、事前にウエットスーツの申し込みをしていなかったのですが、ガイドさんに勧められてプラス10ドルでその場で借りることが出来ました。
ウエットスーツを借りてよかったと思います！！
寒かったし、水面が低いところを泳いだので、もし来てなかったら、寒さに震えながら、膝を擦りむいていたと思います。


天気が悪く水の透明度は低かったですが、ラッキーなことに、2回もカメに遭遇出来ました。

ガイドさんも日本語がペラペラで、気軽に色々きけました。

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

Easy diving?! お手軽ダイビング⁈

Reviewed by: ぺんきち

I hadn't been in the ocean since I was a child, so I was quite nervous, but it was so much fun! During the initial briefing at the office, they provided explanations in English followed by Japanese, but the Japanese was quite fast, so there were some details I didn't catch. I thought it would have been great for beginners like me to have a video explanation as well. (In reality, the staff accompanied us the whole time and guided us step by step, so it worked out fine.)

Our boat had about 15 people in 6 groups, and they took photos of us diving in pairs. Since most of the participants were Japanese, I asked those who dove before me for tips. The underwater scenery was beautiful, and the fish that came to the bait in my hands were incredibly cute!

For those with long hair, if you tie it back high, your face will end up closer to the front of the helmet, which can feel cramped due to the limited space in front of you. I think it's better to tie it at the neck level.

We swayed gently for just over an hour as we headed out. It felt like seasickness was a given, and there was a prior explanation about "if you feel sick, go to the back of the boat." My husband, who is a sea man, said that "people who get overly excited or nervous at first tend to get seasick," so it might be better not to get too hyped up.

At the end, they mentioned there wouldn't be a place to change, but when we returned to the office, there was about a 20-minute break that felt like a restroom stop. So, if someone really needs to, they might be able to change quickly in the restroom. (However, since there are few restrooms, I wouldn't recommend it.) We just put on our hoodies and let ourselves dry naturally on the way back.

The photos were bundled with a video for $47. Payment was made on the spot (it was card-friendly when I went), and I wrote down my email address to receive them later. It was smooth, with a request to download them within two weeks.

子供の頃以来海に入っておらず結構ドキドキだったのですがすごーく楽しかったです。
最初に事務所でレクチャー受ける際、英語説明の後日本語でもしてくれましたが結構早口なので詳細分からないところもあり、私のような初心者にとってはビデオ説明もあったら尚よかったなぁ〜なんて思いました。(実際はスタッフがずっと帯同し、手取り足取りやってくれるのでなんとかなりますが)
私達のボートは6組15名程度、順次潜りペアの写真も撮ってくれます。日本人の方がほとんどだったので前に潜った人に要領を聞いたりしました。海中は綺麗で手元の餌に寄ってくるお魚さんがメチャメチャ可愛かったです！
髪が長い方、後ろで結ぶ際に高い位置で結ぶとその分ヘルメットの前の方に顔が来てしまうので(目の前の空間が少なく圧迫感！)首の位置で結んだ方がいいと思います。
沖に出て1時間ちょっとユラユラ揺られます。船酔いはお約束といった感じで、予め「吐く時は船の後ろで」などの説明もありました。海男の夫が言うには「最初にはしゃいだりドキドキしすぎる人が酔いやすい」ということなのでテンションも上げ過ぎない方がいいかもしれません。
最後は着替える所がないとのことでしたが、事務所に戻るとトイレ休憩な感じで20分程空白の時間があったので、どうしてもという方はトイレで急いで着替えたりできるかも。(トイレの数が少ないので推奨はしませんが^^;)。私達はパーカー羽織って自然乾燥しながら帰りました。
写真は動画とセット47ドルでした。その場で支払い(私の時はカード可)、メールアドレス書いて後でメールで受け取り。2週間以内にダウンロードして下さいという形でスムーズでした〜。

There were some people who got seasick, but the hamburgers they made on the boat were simple yet delicious! I felt like I wanted to swim more in the ocean, but it was a lot of fun.

I'm really glad I participated! The clarity of the ocean was amazing, and I encountered a pod of about 40 dolphins, which was so exciting!! I even got to see sea turtles and whales, it was the best experience ever! The staff really got everyone pumped up, and I was able to enjoy the whole time with maximum energy, right up to the final dance. I will definitely participate again next time!

However, we weren't blessed with completely clear weather; the sun peeked out occasionally. It was a bit chilly when we got out of the water, so I recommend wearing a wetsuit if it's cloudy (you can rent one on the day). If you tend to get seasick, make sure to get a good night's sleep the night before! There were quite a few young people who seemed to be feeling seasick.

本当に参加して良かったです！海の透明度も素晴らしく、イルカ40匹くらいの群れに遭遇して大興奮！！海ガメやクジラまでも見れて最高でした(^^)スタッフの方も盛り上げてくれて、最後のダンスまでテンションMAXで過ごすことが出来ました。絶対また次回も参加します！

Please be aware that there are differences in the service provided. 対応に差があるので注意です

Reviewed by: mika

I participated in the tour in January. Overall, I was satisfied with the content of the tour. It was the rainy season, but I had a great time. I felt safe while snorkeling because we had floats. I even got to see a sea turtle.

At the end of the tour, there was an announcement saying, "If you are satisfied, please consider tipping," so it's a good idea to have cash ready.

However, I was a bit disappointed with the staff's response. During the free time of the tour, the staff were taking photos of each group, but while other groups were posing and taking multiple shots, we were not approached at all. Later, we could purchase the photos taken, but the only one of us during our free time was a single shot taken from a distance, and it wasn't even a posed shot—it was a candid one.

Looking at the overall tour photos, it seemed that only families and groups of girls were being photographed, while there were very few pictures of couples.

(This is a subjective impression, but I felt a bit uncomfortable seeing the staff taking multiple photos of the all-girls groups while ignoring us. Haha.)

Even though we paid the same tour fee, it felt like there was a difference in treatment, so I think it's important to think carefully about the tip amount at the end.

1月に参加しました。ツアーの内容はおおむね満足です。雨季でしたが楽しく過ごせました。
シュノーケルも浮きを付けるので安心して行えました。ウミガメもみれました。
ツアーの最後に「満足できた場合はチップをお願いします」とアナウンスされるので、現金を用意した方が良いです。

ただスタッフの方の対応にちょっとがっかりでした。
ツアーの自由行動中に、スタッフの方がグループ毎に声をかけて写真を撮っていたのですが、他のグループはポーズをつけて何度も撮影していたのに、私達は声もかけられませんでした。
後から撮影写真をみて購入できますが、私達の自由行動中の写真は遠くから撮影された1枚だけでした。それもカメラ目線ですらなく隠し撮りです。
ツアー全体の写真をみても、なぜか家族連れや女の子のグループばかり撮影されていて、カップルの写真は少なかったです。

（主観的な感想ですが、スタッフの方が女の子だけのグループに声をかけて何枚も何枚も写真を撮っていたのは若干気持ち悪く感じてしまいました。笑）

同じようにツアー代金を払っていてもこんなふうに差をつけられるので、最後に払うチップ代金はよく考えた方が良いと思います。

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

Beware if you get seasick! 船に酔う人は注意！

Reviewed by: 楽しかった！

In late February, the weather was mostly cloudy, and the waves were strong, which might not have been the best season. However, when the sun occasionally peeked out, the color of the sea transformed into a vibrant blue. While others were riding underwater scooters, I often saw sea turtles swimming near the surface, occasionally popping up to look at us. I felt like the encounter rate was similar to seeing pigeons in Tokyo. When I rode the underwater scooter, there were plenty of fish, and I spotted several sea turtles swimming along the seabed.

Among the crowd, which included families, couples, and groups of girls, I participated in a company trip with only women. I was the only man, but thanks to a friendly staff member who was a fourth-generation Japanese American, I felt less out of place as he occasionally struck up conversations with me.

Those who are prone to seasickness should be cautious. While the boat is moving, the swaying from the waves isn't too bad, but waiting on a stationary boat can make you feel queasy. You might also feel nauseous while riding the underwater scooter. Additionally, while the scooter is fine in shallow waters, just diving a little deeper can cause severe ear pain from the water pressure, which can worsen your seasickness. I experienced mild seasickness without showing it, but I saw some people who were completely out of it, clinging to the back of the boat and making multiple trips back and forth.

Overall, the courses "Hawaii Underwater Scooter BOB - Seabob Seafloor Walk & Snorkel Cruise" (the cheaper option) and "Underwater Scooter & Hawaii Kai Sandbar Half-Day Tour with Shuttle - Enjoy Snorkeling & Stand-Up Paddleboarding!" (the more expensive option) share the same departure and return points for the scooters. Participants in the more expensive option finish their scooter ride first and switch to a high-speed boat to go to another location for stand-up paddleboarding. Meanwhile, those on the cheaper option take turns finishing their scooter rides, but the waiting time can lead to seasickness. Even after everyone on the cheaper option has finished, they have to wait until the participants from the more expensive option return, which must have felt like hell for those who got seasick.

Participants in the more expensive option, who seemed a bit queasy at first, returned to the boat looking fine. I think they recovered while playing on the high-speed boat and stand-up paddleboard. Therefore, I recommend that anyone who might feel even slightly nauseous choose the more expensive option that includes stand-up paddleboarding at the sandbar. I opted for the cheaper option because I had another activity in the afternoon and wanted to return as soon as possible, but I ended up returning to the port at the same time as those on the more expensive option.

You can rent a short-sleeved wetsuit. It's fine if you don't wear one, and you can also bring your own. Even though it was the last part of winter in February, the water only felt cold for a moment when I first entered.

Photos and videos are available for purchase: individual photos are $20 each, videos are $20, and a set is $30. I received 13 photos of myself and two additional photos of sea turtles that were likely taken separately.

2月後半で曇りがち、波も強くて時期的にはあまり良い季節ではなかった
のかもしれませんが、時折太陽が顔を出すと海の色が鮮やかなブルーに変りました。
他の人が水中スクーターに乗ってる間も、船上では水面を泳ぐウミガメが横切り、船の近くで時折顔を出してはこちらを見ているのを何度も見ることが出来ました。
東京で鳩見かけるぐらいの遭遇率ではないかと思って見ていました。
また水中スクーターで潜ると、魚はたくさんいますし、海底をウミガメが数匹泳いでいました。

家族連れ、夫婦、カップル、女の子同士のグループみたいな人ばかなりの中、女性ばかりとの社員旅行で現地自由行動、これには男1人での参加だったですが、日系4世のスタッフの気さくなおじさんが時折話しかけてくれたお陰で浮いてる感が紛れました。

酔う人は注意が必要です。
船が走っている間は、波で大きく揺れてもあまり酔いません。
停まった船で待ってる間が酔います。
水中スクーターに乗ってる時も酔うかもしれません。
さらにスクーターは浅いところを潜っているうちは大丈夫ですが、
ほんの少しさらに深く潜っただけで水圧で耳に激痛がきます。
これがまた酔いの体調を悪くします。
私も表に出さないでいられる程度では軽く船酔いしていましたが、
リバースはここで言われる船尾に張り付いたり、何度も往復して完全に死んでる人達もいました。

全体の流れとして、本コース「ハワイ 水中スクーターBOB - シーボブで海底散歩＆シュノーケルクルーズ」(値段安い方)と「水中スクーター＆ハワイカイサンドバー　半日送迎付きツアー　シュノーケリング＆スタンドアップパドルボートも楽しめる！」(値段高い方)は、スクーターに乗る場所までと帰港は一緒になります。
値段高い方の参加者が先にスクーターを終え、高速ボートに乗り換えて別な場所にスタンドアップボードなどをしに行きます。
安い方の人はその間、順番にスクーターを終えていくのですが、その待ち時間が酔います。
さらに安い方の人が全員スクーターを終えても、高い値段の方の人が戻って来るまでそのまま待たされます。
船酔いした人には地獄の時間だったと思います。

値段高い方の人は最初に少し酔ってた風な人も、ケロッとして船に戻ってきました。
高速ボートや立ちボートで遊んでいる間に回復したんだと思います。
ですので、少しでも酔うかもしれない不安のある人は、サンドバーでの
スタンドアップボートなどがセットになった値段の高い方を選択した方が良いと思います。
午後から別なアクティビティがあったので、少しでも早く帰れる方をと安い方を選択したのですが、高速ボートから船に戻ってきた高い値段の方の人と一緒に帰港しますので最終的にかかる時間は同じです。

ウレタンの半袖スウェットスーツが借りられます。
着ないでもOKです。自前でもOKです。
2月の冬最終期ですが水が冷たく感じたのは入った瞬間だけです。

撮ってくれる写真や動画はバラだと写真20ドル、動画20ドル、
セットなら30ドルでした。
写真は自分を13枚と、別で撮ったであろうウミガメ写真2枚付けてくれていました。

BOB's Hawaii Underwater Scooter Adventure & Turtle Watching Tour

Great alternative to full scuba diving

Reviewed by: Lewis W

As a qualified PADI, I found this activity to be a great alternative to full on scuba diving. With the submarine scooter you are able to sit back and enjoy the amazing underwater world.

The Bobs team were very organised and made the whole experience enjoyable and welcoming. I would highly recommend this to those afraid of discovery scuba diving. The team also take great pictures and videos for you.

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

I was able to see dolphins for about 3 minutes. イルカを見れたのは3分くらいです。

Reviewed by: スポンジボブ

Let's bring about $15 in cash per person. Most people rented wetsuits for an additional fee. For the photos, which cost around $50, I provided my credit card number over the phone after the tour to purchase them. They will send you a URL via email to view the photos on Dropbox.
The boat can be quite rocky, so be sure to bring motion sickness medication.
It's pretty strenuous, so I recommend going to bed early the night before. Choosing a dolphin tour without any extra activities was definitely the right decision.
It felt less like swimming with dolphins and more like spotting dolphins swimming below for a few seconds, but it was moving.

１人15ドルくらい現金を持っていきましょう。別途有料でのウエットスーツはほとんどの方が頼んでいました。別途有料(50ドルくらい)の写真はツアー後に電話口にて自身のクレカ番号を伝え購入しました。写真はドロップボックスで見れるＵＲＬをメールで送ってくれます。
船は結構揺れますし酔います。酔い止めを持っていきましょう。
結構ハードなので前日は早めの就寝がおすすめです。他に余計なアクテビィティの無いイルカ中学にして正解でした。
イルカと泳ぐというよりは真下に泳いでるイルカを数十秒発見するみたいな感じでしたが、感動しました。

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

Greatly impressed. 大感激

Reviewed by: えりねえ

The tour was a lot of fun, thanks to our guide Julie and the enthusiastic staff who really got everyone excited. The nearly hour-long drive to the port was filled with beautiful natural scenery, quite different from the city of Honolulu, and the enjoyable commentary made it feel like a true Hawaiian sightseeing experience!

But above all, the dolphins were amazing!! We got to see a pod of over 80 dolphins while snorkeling. I never expected to see such a large group, so I was absolutely thrilled.

After the dolphins, we saw a small turtle and many cute Hawaiian endemic yellow butterflyfish while snorkeling. On the way back to the port, we also spotted a few whales relatively close by.

Lastly, the hula lesson on the boat was a lot of fun. However, several people were feeling seasick, so I recommend that those who are not used to boats take some motion sickness medication (like Travelmin) in advance.

Thank you for a wonderful day!!

ガイドのジュリさんをはじめ、スタッフの方がノリノリでみんなを盛り上げてくれて楽しいツアーでした。港までの1時間近くの道中もホノルルの街とは異なり自然の魅力いっぱいの景色と楽しい解説でハワイ観光の気分いっぱいで良かったです！
でも何よりイルカがすごい！！　　８０頭以上の群れをシュノーケルで見れました。　　こんなにたくさんの群れが見れるとは思ってもいなかったので大感激でした。
イルカの後のシュノーケルでは小さい亀１匹とハワイ固有種の黄色いバタフライフィッシュ(かわいい)がたくさん見れました。
港に帰る途中ではクジラも数頭、比較的近くで見れました。
最後に船上でのフラレッスンも楽しかったです。
ただ船酔いをしている方が何人もいたので、船に慣れていない方は、事前に酔い止め薬(トラベルミン等)を飲んでおくことをお勧めします。
楽しい一日をありがとうございました!!

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

So much fun!! 楽しい！！

Reviewed by: A.N

I've done snorkeling a few times domestically, but Hawaii is on a whole different scale (laughs). The fish are larger, and I even got to meet a sea turtle! It was truly moving!! It's definitely better to have a wetsuit! The rocks and coral can hit your feet. The snorkel was also the type that doesn't let water in, so I didn't end up drinking seawater even after swimming for a long time♪ The guide was very kind, and I definitely want to go again.

シュノーケリングを国内で何度かやってきましたが、ハワイはやはりスケールが違いました(笑)魚は大きいし、ウミガメにも会えました！本当に感動です！！ウェットスーツは絶対にあった方が良いです！岩場とか珊瑚が足に当たります。シュノーケルも水が口に入ってこないタイプで長時間泳いでも海水を飲むことはありませんでした♪ガイドさんもとっても優しい方でぜひまた行きたいです
