The weather was great that day, and the waves were calm, allowing us to have a wonderful snorkeling experience. They guided us to spots that we wouldn't have been able to reach on our own, making it a fantastic tour to join! The two guides took many photos for us, and thanks to them, we were able to capture beautiful memories with the sea turtles.
この日は非常にお天気も良く、波も穏やかだったため、楽しいシュノーケリングを体験させていただけました。自分たちだけでは辿り着けなそうなスポットまでしっかり案内してくださり、参加して大正解のツアーでした!
ガイドのお二人もたくさんお写真を撮ってくださり、おかげでウミガメとの素敵な思い出が形に残せました。

I wasn't expecting white, shallow sandy beaches at this time of year, but I was surprised to see turtles so close! (laughs) The staff were mostly Japanese and very kind, making my time enjoyable. During snorkeling, I was able to see several turtles, which was a great experience. Thanks to that, I can now spot turtles from the 13th floor lagoon of my hotel in Waikiki! (laughs) I also learned some mini facts about Hawaii that Japanese people might not know, like the "one turtle, one lucky" saying and the fines for harming turtles, which was great. I go to Hawaii every year, and I've already decided to return next year!

I was glad that I could enter without waiting in line, and that I was taken to a spot where sea turtles are present despite the rough waves. If I had come on my own, waiting in line would have drained a lot of my energy, and searching for sea turtles would have been quite difficult.
Additionally, during the return shuttle, I was able to hear information about sea turtles in another location from the instructor. That day, sea turtles actually appeared at that spot, and I was able to swim with them! Thank you very much.
窓口に並ばずにエントリーできる上に、波の荒い中ウミガメが居るポイントまで連れて行って頂けて良かったです。自力で来ていたら窓口に並ぶことで大分体力を奪われてしまうし、ウミガメを探すのも大変だと思います。

It was really great. The dolphins and sea turtles were wonderful.
You should definitely pay the $10 and rent a wetsuit. As a result, the only people who stayed in the water until the end were those wearing wetsuits. Only 5 or 6 out of 34 people rented them, but most people were really cold. The hamburger was delicious, but I would have preferred mineral water over the strange juice. Almost everyone wasn't drinking it.

$10ケチらず払って、ウェットスーツは借りるべきです。結果、最後まで海に入ってたのは、ウェットスーツを着てる人だけでした。5~6人/34人中、しか借りてませんでしたが、ほとんどの人は、すごく寒がってました。ハンバーガーは美味しかったですが、変なジュースよりミネラルウォーターが欲しかったで。ほとんどみんな飲んでなかった。

Meeting early in the morning was tough, and I was sleepy, but when I got to swim in the ocean and encountered a pod of dolphins, it was simply "moving"! There was even a baby dolphin about the size of a football!
At the snorkeling spot, a wild turtle came up to the surface for air right in front of me. It was so cute.
Since it was November, it was a bit chilly...

Due to bad weather the day before, we weren't sure if the tour would take place until we arrived on site. Although we set sail, the rough sea caused many people to get seasick. Fortunately, my husband and I had taken motion sickness medication beforehand, so we were fine, but I recommend that even those who usually don’t get seasick take some medication when participating (laughs).
Until the last moment, we weren't sure if we would see dolphins, but the captain and the guide were very dedicated in searching for them, and we were able to see dolphins safely. Because the sea was rough, we could only dive once, but it was still a very satisfying experience. I would love to participate again when I go to Hawaii!
前日の悪天候により、当日現地に着くまでツアーが催行できるかわからない状態でした。
出航はしたものの、あまりの海の荒れように船酔い者が続出の状態…わたしたち夫婦は二人とも事前に酔い止めを飲んでいたので問題なかったですが、参加される際は普段酔わない方も酔い止めの服用をおすすめします(笑)
ぎりぎりまでイルカが見れるかわからない状態でしたが、船長さんはじめガイドの方がとても熱心にイルカを探してくれ無事にイルカを見ることができました^^海が荒れていたため1回しか海に潜ることはできませんでしたが、それでもとても満足度の高い体験になりました。またハワイに行った際はもう一度参加したいと思います★

We went on our honeymoon. The weather was perfect on the day, and the staff's funny and energetic talks kept the atmosphere bright and enjoyable throughout. The main dolphin swim was also fortunate, as we encountered a pod of over 20 to 30 dolphins just by sight. Moreover, we were lucky enough to see sea turtles surface twice, and we were able to swim alongside them. Of course, the schools of fish were beautiful, and we were able to capture a lot of footage with our underwater camera and video. The snapshots taken by the camera staff were available for purchase, and there were many data points and scenes, which were quite good. Paddleboarding and kayaking were also new experiences for me, but with the guide present, I felt safe trying it despite my lack of skill. The scenery of the surrounding mountains was also stunning, and I had a refreshing time dancing hula cheerfully with the staff and other tour participants, making for a wonderfully fun half-day that felt like a dream! It was the most memorable activity of our time in Hawaii.
新婚旅行で行きました。当日は天候に恵まれ、スタッフの方の面白く元気なトークで終始明るく楽しめました。メインのイルカとスイムもコンディションに恵まれ、目で見ただけでも20~30頭以上のイルカの群れに出会いました。しかも、ラッキーなことにウミガメがぷか~りと2回も浮かんできて、周りで一緒に泳いだりもできました。もちろん魚群も綺麗で水中カメラやビデオに沢山の映像収めることができ、またカメラスタッフの方のスナップも有料購入ですがデータ数もシーンも多くかなり良いものでした。またパドルやカヤック遊びも初体験でしたがガイドの方がいるので下手な私も安心してトライできました。海だけでなく周りの山々の景色も素晴らしく、気分爽快でスタッフ、ツアー参加者の人達と陽気にフラダンスを踊り、とても楽しい夢のような半日を過ごせました!ハワイで一番思い出に残るアクティビティでした。

During the break in our company trip schedule, five women in their 40s and 50s participated. After watching a video about environmental awareness, we were mindful of our impact on fish and coral as we headed to the sea. With guidance from Dan and Chieko, we felt very safe and enjoyed snorkeling. Some of our group hadn't been in the ocean for years, but with the wetsuits we borrowed in advance, we swam close to the rocky areas without feeling anxious, allowing us to relax and enjoy swimming. We even encountered two turtles! We left the sea feeling very satisfied. Thank you for accommodating those who wanted to stop by Diamond Head along the way. While we were anxious about how President Trump's visit would affect our schedule, you provided various advice, and everyone was able to return safely to the hotel. Thank you for everything.

Unfortunately, it was cloudy on the day of our visit, but it was great to see so many rays and sea turtles. While snorkeling, I encountered a sea turtle resting in a coral nook, and I was able to touch its shell as it surfaced for air. The shell of the green sea turtle, which was about 60 cm long, had several barnacles on it, giving it a dignified appearance that suggested it was quite old.
当日はあいにくの曇模様で下が、エイやウミガメがたくさん見えたのは良かったです。シュノーケリングの時にはサンゴのくぼみで休んでいたウミガメがいて、息つぎに浮上して来たところで甲羅にタッチすることができました。体長60cmはあろうかというミドリウミガメの甲羅にはフジツボが何個かついていて年齢を重ねていると貫禄がありました。

This excursion was our first snorkeling excursion in the Pacific Ocean, and it was our first excursion during our trip to O'ahu. The whole experience was outstanding. Veltra called us the day before to confirm the reservation and advise us where to meet the van and when. The driver from Kaimana Tours arrived within the allowed time period, and he was courteous and informative. He told us exactly what to expect when we arrived--including paying the $7.50 park admission fee (per person) completing the conservation education presentation (10-15 minutes, tops), and meeting him afterward (where and when). He passed around a chart of the types of sea life we would see in the bay. The view was breath-taking. The beach was beautiful. The staff were helpful and friendly. The snorkeling was great. Lifeguards were attentive--even using amplified sound at one point to caution some poor swimmers that they needed to move closer to the beach. Afterward, the driver met us when and where he had told us, and we were all on our way back to our hotels.

I also met a gentleman (the one that provides entertainment during lunch) and he was making handmade bracelets with palm leaves. If any of the staff can help me out in getting in contact with him - because I recently lost my anklet he made when I came back to the mainland, that would be great!

When we arrived at the harbor in Kaneohe Bay, we were hit by a torrential downpour and were worried about whether we could set out to sea, but it stopped after about 10 minutes and we were able to depart safely. The water level was a bit high that day, reaching up to our thighs at the shallowest point. Perhaps because of the rain, the water was cold and slightly murky, but we were able to enjoy the emerald green sea typical of a sandbar.
The hamburger for lunch was surprisingly delicious, and the staff were cheerful, creating a great atmosphere. During the sea turtle watching, we encountered not only sea turtles but also a rare manta ray, and while snorkeling, we were able to swim alongside the sea turtles. Overall, I was very satisfied with the experience.

ランチのハンバーガーも予想以上に美味しく、スタッフも明るくて良い雰囲気で過ごせました。
海ガメウォッチングで海ガメはもちろんレアなマンタに遭遇し、シュノーケリングでは海ガメと一緒に泳げたりと、総合的にはとても満足度が高かったです。

At first, I was anxious because we were meeting at the location with a rental car. However, the staff were all Japanese and very friendly, which made me feel at ease. It was great to see sea turtles up close. The food was also satisfying.
最初レンタカーで現地集合だったので不安でした。しかしスタッフも日本人でとてもフレンドリーな方ばかりで安心できました。海ガメも間近で見れて良かったです。料理も満足のいくものでした。

I was a little anxious about whether I could properly dive during my first snorkeling experience, but on the day of the event, I couldn't contain my excitement in front of the great outdoors and the ocean! The weather was a bit chilly with occasional light rain in the morning, so I was really glad I requested a wetsuit!
I personally think it's important to get used to the seawater, especially since I wasn't familiar with it. We practiced with a lecture and learned to put our faces in the water and dive in shallow areas, which allowed us to swim with schools of fish and enjoy snorkeling until the end! There was a little mishap where I lost my wedding ring underwater, and I regretted not taking it off before participating! I apologize for causing concern to the guide! The guide was very reliable and kind, quickly addressing anyone who wasn't feeling well. I would love to participate again when I come back to Hawaii!
初のシュノーケリングで、きちんと潜れるかちょっとだけ不安がありましたが…参加当日、大自然と海を目の前にするとワクワクがとまりません♪天気は朝から時折、少しだけ雨がパラつき、肌寒さを感じたのでウェットスーツ希望してとっても良かった!
まずは海水に慣れることが大切だなぁと、海水に不慣れな私は個人的に思います。レクチャーと水面に顔をつける事潜ることを浅瀬で練習させてもらえ、魚の群れと泳げたり最後までシュノーケリングを楽しむことが出来ました♪途中、結婚指輪を水中でなくすハプニングがあり外してから参加するんだったぁーと反省!ガイドさんにはご心配をおかけしてしまいました!気分の優れない方がいたらすぐに対処してくれたり大変頼もしい、優しいガイドさんでした。また、ハワイに来たら参加したいと思います♪

At first, we couldn't find them, and I was worried we might not see any dolphins. However, once we confirmed the presence of a pod, it was amazing to encounter so many dolphins. They swam alongside the boat and even jumped out of the water, which was just fantastic.
最初見つからず、ダメなのか的からのイルカの群れの確認連絡、そして沢山のイルカ達に出逢い船に上がってからの並走をしてくれたり、飛んでくれたり最高でした。
ALOHA!! Thank you for participating in Dolphin University! We are glad to hear that you had a wonderful time with the wild dolphins. Please feel free to visit Dolphin Middle School and University again when you come to Hawaii! MAHALO!!
ALOHA!! この度はイルカ大学にご参加いただきありがとうございました!野生のイルカ先生と素敵な時間をお過ごしいただけたようで幸いです。また是非、ハワイにいらした際にはイルカ中学・大学に遊びにいらしてください!MAHALO!!

Dear Aoki-san, thank you for joining the Blue Hawaii Divers tour. Dan and I are very happy to hear that you enjoyed it. How lucky you were to see sea turtles three times! Among all the tours, ours covers the widest area, which increases your chances of encountering turtles. Please do join us again when you come back to Hawaii. We look forward to seeing you again. Thank you very much. Mahalo!!
あおきさん様、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。楽しんでいただけたようでDanも私もとても喜んでいます。3回もウミガメに会えたなんて本当にラッキーな日に当たりましたね!!数あるツアーの中でも私達のツアーが一番広い範囲を泳ぎに行きますので、亀に会える確率も高いのですよ。是非またハワイにお越しの際にはツアーに来てくださいね。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!!
