The sandbar's water level was about waist-high, but the clarity was excellent, and I was very satisfied. I was able to see a sea turtle, and snorkeling was a lot of fun with plenty of fish. The hamburgers and beer on the boat were also incredibly delicious! The guide on the way there was really wonderful, too!
サンドバーは水位は腰くらいまででしたが、透明度が高く、大満足でした。ウミガメも見れたし、シュノーケリングも魚が沢山でとても楽しかったです。船の上のハンバーガーとビールも、最高に美味しかったです!行きのガイドのおじさんがとても素敵でした笑

We participated as a family of three. Since we were staying at Hilton Village, we were scheduled to be picked up at 5 AM, but after waiting for a little over 15 minutes, I started to worry a bit, but we were able to meet up safely. Our 5-year-old daughter also joined, and she slept soundly in the car (laughs). Shortly after boarding the boat and moving to the spot, we finally spotted the dolphins! A large group of dolphins swam right beneath our feet. I was a bit worried about having the youngest participant, but my daughter was super excited!! After that, we also got to see turtles, and we experienced kayaking and paddleboarding, making it a very satisfying day. The staff members were always cheerful, and we were able to enjoy a fun atmosphere throughout. I definitely want to go again! ♪
家族3人で参加させて頂きました。
ヒルトンビレッジの宿泊でしたので、朝5時にピックアップ予定でしたが待つこと15分強、
少し心配になりましたが無事に合流出来ました。
5歳の娘も参加したので娘は車ではぐっすりでした(笑)
船に乗ってポイントに移動後間もなくして待望のイルカを発見!
たくさんのイルカが群れを成して足の直ぐ下を泳いで行きました。
今回、最年少の参加少し心配していたのですが…これには娘も大興奮‼
その後カメのも会えたし、カヤックやパドルボートも体験出来て
大満足な一日でした。
スタッフの方々も終始明るくて楽しい雰囲気の中で過ごすことが出来ました。
是非、また行きたいです♪

It was like a dream to see wild dolphins passing underneath and in front of me!! It felt like I was swimming with them, and it was so much fun! It reminded me of when I was a child and wanted to become a dolphin trainer after seeing dolphins at the aquarium. I thought to myself that this is what it means to have a lifetime of youth and excitement! There was also a turtle that came up right next to me, and I panicked because I was too close even though I knew I shouldn't touch it! The pineapple I had on the boat was sweet and delicious too! It was such a wonderful experience☆
野生のイルカが自分の下や前を通りすぎて夢のようでした!!

We participated as a family of four. I wondered if we could really swim with wild dolphins as we departed the port at 7:30. Contrary to my expectations, we quickly encountered a pod of dolphins. We got ready and dove into the sea with the kids. About 10 to 15 dolphins swam slowly beneath us, and our whole family was moved. The dolphin swim was surprisingly short, and I wished we could swim longer, but when we got back on the boat, I was shocked at how tired I felt. I realized that amount of time was just right. After the dolphins, we swam with sea turtles. We encountered them right away, and the kids were thrilled to see them up close. We tried hard to take our own photos, but it turned out to be surprisingly difficult, and we didn't get good shots. Instead, I was very satisfied to purchase the data from a professional photographer for $50. The staff and the director were very polite, and we had a great time throughout. This must have been an unforgettable experience for the kids (and of course for the adults too). Personally, I think this tour is definitely worth participating in.
家族4人で参加しました。野生のイルカと泳ぐなんて、そんなことできるのかと思いながら7:30に港を出港。予想とは裏腹に、すぐにイルカの群れと遭遇。準備して子供達と海へダイブ。10~15頭ぐらいのイルカが自分たちの下をゆっくりと泳いでいて、家族全員感動しました。イルカスイムは意外と時間が短くもっと泳いでいたいと思ってましたが、船に上がったら予想以上に体が疲れていてビックリ。あれぐらいの時間がちょうどいいんだと実感しました。イルカの後は、ウミガメとのスイム。すぐに遭遇でき、こちらも間近で見る事ができ子供達も大はしゃぎでした。自分たちで写真に収めようと頑張ったんですが、これが意外と難しくうまく取れませんでした。その代わりに、$50しましたがプロのカメラマンのデータを購入でき大満足。スタッフの方や学長も対応がとても丁寧で、終始気分よく過ごせました。子供たちにとっては一生忘れられない体験になったはずです(当然大人にとっても)。個人的には、このツアーへ参加する価値は大いにあると思います。

We were picked up at the hotel at 7 AM and traveled by large bus to the pier. I was worried about the heavy rain in the mountains along the way, but fortunately, by the time we boarded the boat, the rain had stopped. It was cloudy, but the sun started to shine, which was great. As I had researched beforehand, the water was about knee-deep, and we couldn't see the sandbar. The snorkeling experience was serious, and the staff provided thorough instructions while we wore life jackets. The corals and fish were beautiful, but if the weather had been a bit better, they might have looked even more stunning. The experience is quite dependent on the weather. We opted for a morning-only tour, and that was sufficient.
朝の7時にホテルピックアップで大型バスで船着き場まで移動。途中山中では大雨でどうなることかと心配しましたが幸い船に乗る頃には雨が止んでいて曇ってはいたものの日が射してきたので良かったです。事前に調べていた通り膝下くらいまで水が浸かりサンドバーは見れなかったです。シュノーケリングは本格的でライフジャケット着用でスタッフがきっちり教えてくれます。珊瑚や魚もキレイに見えましたがもう少し天気が良かったらもっとキレイに見えたのかも。天気にかなり左右されます。午前中だけのツアーにしましたがそれで十分でした。

The crew was super nice and very informative. I felt very safe while sailing and snorkling. A crew member snorkles with you and helps you spot the turtles. There were lots of turtles to be seen! We were fortunate to go on a day that there were only about 10 of us, so we basically had the boat to ourselves! It was great! I mean you are snorkling with green sea turtles and sailing in Hawaii "what's not to love"?! I highly recommend Holokai Catamaran Turtle Canyon Snorkel Sail (from Waikiki Beach) / Snorkel Cruise!

I'm a repeat visitor. It's wild, so it's understandable, but this time I saw the least number of dolphins. They were far away and didn't come close. It's disappointing.
Due to the waves, I couldn't experience stand-up paddleboarding either.
It seems they made the boat larger, and it was two stories. I feel like the number of people on board hasn't changed, but going up and down is a bit of a hassle. Also, unfortunately, on this day, I couldn't use the restroom on the boat. I've never used it before, but when they say it's unavailable, it makes me anxious. I wonder if it will take a few days to fix... that's tough.
The photographer was really enthusiastic and made it a lot of fun.
リピーターです。野生なので仕方ないのですが、今回が一番イルカを見ることができませんでした。遠くにはいるのに、近くに来てくれない。ざんねんです。

We enjoyed cruising from Kailua to the area near the sandbar on a catamaran. Although we didn't land on the sandbar, we had fun snorkeling and enjoyed free drinks and a barbecue (hamburgers) on board, which I liked. The boat was chartered for the number of reservations, and this time we set off with two boats. There happened to be many Japanese people, so one boat was filled to capacity with Japanese passengers. The languages spoken were English and Japanese. I wasn't sure if there were other languages, but the tourists were definitely from various countries. Everyone became friendly, taking photos together. The contrast between the steep mountains unique to Hawaii and the emerald-colored sea of the sandbar was beautiful, and I almost forgot to look for sea turtles, but the crew was quick to point them out. It was beautiful, pleasant, and fun. The leisurely afternoon course included only the cruise and snorkeling, with no exploration of Kailua town, but I was satisfied. I participated with my mother and child, wearing a tunic and hoodie over our swimsuits, and brought a beach towel, float, and sunscreen. They provided snorkeling sets and life jackets.
カイルアからカタマランクルーザーでサンドバー付近までクルージングを楽しみます。サンドバーへは上陸しませんが、スノーケリングを楽しみ船上ではフリードリンク、バーベキュー(ハンバーガー)を食べます、私は好き。予約者が乗れる分の船がチャーターされていて、今回は2挺で出発。たまたま日本人が多かったので、1挺は日本人で満タンになりました。言語は、英語と日本語の二言語です。他言語があったかどうかはわかりませんでしたが、ツーリストはとにかく多国籍でした。写真を撮りあったりしてみんな仲良しになります。ハワイ特有の切り立つ山の景色とサンドバーのエメラルド色の海のコントラストが美しく、ウミガメ探しを忘れてしまいそうですが、クルーが目敏く教えてくれます。美しく、気持ちよく、楽しかった。午後から出発するのんびりコースはクルーズとスノーケリングのみで、カイルア街の散策はナシですが、満足しました。母と子供で参加し、水着の上にチュニックとパーカーを羽織り、バスタオルと浮き輪とサンブロックを持って出掛けました。スノーケルセットとライフジャケットは貸してくれます。

We participated as a couple in our 50s. There were few Japanese people, and the explanations were in English, so our understanding was about 10-20%. But we had fun.
However, even though there were dolphins swimming, the explanations were long, so by the time we got into the water, the dolphins were gone, and we only got to snorkel for about 30-40 minutes.
The lunch was delicious. It included round-trip transportation to the point and free drinks (including alcohol).
Since we couldn't swim with the dolphins, the cost performance was not great.

Dear Ecchan, thank you for participating in the tour with your family of four. Since it was the first time for you to return on an afternoon flight, I was quite nervous until I could safely send you to the hotel. I'm glad you made it in time for your flight. The tide was very low that day, so we couldn't swim over the corals near Keyhole, but we went out from Sandman's Patch and were able to meet a turtle when we returned inside. The turtles really have such cute eyes! You all swam a lot, so I'm sure everyone had a good sleep on the flight back home.

For those who want to experience the sandbar, which is often featured on television, I recommend it because the time is only in the morning and the price is reasonable. There were many participants, with two buses and two boats operating.
Before heading to the sandbar, we looked for sea turtles. We were able to see about five or six, but they only come up for air briefly, making it difficult to take photos. After seeing the turtles, we went to the sandbar.
On the day we went, the water was up to our knees, and there were some complaints. It seems that the relaxing setup with chairs, as seen on TV, is quite rare. After the photo session at the sandbar (the staff takes the pictures), we went snorkeling.
We walked to the point where the sandbar suddenly gets deep, which took about 5 to 10 minutes. I got stung by a jellyfish during that time. The staff had warned us to be careful. The jellyfish were small, so it was quite difficult to spot them if you weren't paying attention.
A tip to avoid getting stung by jellyfish: don't walk at the front! I was at the front and got stung. It hurts quite a bit; it's a prickly pain, and since jellyfish tentacles are long, the pain can be quite widespread. After being stung, it turns into a small bump, and the mark lasts for a few days. For children, it might be a bit challenging as they might scratch it. Please be careful.
Since many people participate in snorkeling, the water can be murky and visibility is poor. The staff was feeding the fish with bread to attract them. After the activity, they ask for tips, but it’s not mandatory, so quite a few people didn’t give any. The staff were cheerful and had a good vibe.
テレビでもよく取り上げられるサンドバーに一度は行ってみたい人には、時間も午前中だけだし、値段も手頃なのでオススメです。
多数の参加者で、バス2台、舟2隻の運行でした。
サンドバーに行く前に海がめを探します。5~6匹は見れましたが、息継ぎする瞬間だけ頭を上げるので、写真に残すのは難しいです。カメを見た後にサンドバーに行きます。
私たちが行った日は、海水は膝上ぐらいで、クレームを言っている人も居ました。テレビで見たような、椅子を出してくつろげるような状態は、めったに無いそうです。
サンドバーで写真撮影タイム(スタッフの人が撮ってくれます)が終わったら、シュノーケリングです。
シュノーケリングはサンドバーの急に深くなるポイントまで歩きます。5~10分程度です。
私はその時にくらげに刺されました。スタッフの人も注意を促してましたが。小さいクラゲですので、よほど注意していないと見つけるのは困難です。
クラゲに刺されないコツ! 先頭を歩かない!先頭を泳がない!私は先頭を歩いていて刺されました。
さされると、結構痛いですね。チクチクした痛みですが、クラゲの足が長いので、結構広範囲に痛いです。さされた後は小さいイボになり、数日は後が残ります。子供だと掻いてしまったり、少し大変かも知れません。お気をつけ下さい。
シュノーケリングはたくさんの人が参加するので。濁っていてよく見えません。スタッフの人がパン?を与えて魚を寄せていました。
終わったらチップをお願いされます。強要はされないので、入れない人も結構いました。
スタッフの方は明るくてよい感じでした。

I participated with my daughter. It was both of our first time snorkeling, but our guide, Kamio, kindly taught us how to put on the equipment, breathing techniques, and how to use the fins. He even held my hand as I was nervous about swimming, which allowed us to enjoy the experience with peace of mind. We saw many beautiful fish; it felt like a dream, as if we were in an aquarium. We also got to see a honu (sea turtle). I am truly grateful to Kamio for his thoughtful care that eased our worries. I have visited Hawaii many times, but this experience was unlike any other. I highly recommend it.
娘と二人で参加。二人ともシュノーケルは初めてでしたが、ガイドのカミオさんが丁寧に器具の装着から呼吸法、ひれの使い方など教えてくださり、泳ぎも不安だった私の手をひいて下さったので安心して楽しむことができました。きれいな魚の数々、水族館の中にいるような夢のような時間でした。ホヌにも会えました。不安のないよう気配りしてくださりカミオさんには心から感謝しています。ハワイは何度も訪れていますが、今までにない感動をおぼえました。おすすめです。

I was lucky enough to encounter four sea turtles while traveling by boat. I've seen sea turtles on the beach before, but it was my first time seeing them swimming gracefully in the ocean. I also had an early encounter with dolphins and experienced how they gather in such large numbers.
The staff was energetic and worked hard to boost the participants' spirits from early in the morning, creating a fun atmosphere throughout the tour. It felt great to see the effort put into making the entire tour enjoyable, not just focusing on the main purpose of seeing dolphins, but also ensuring a pleasant experience from the bus ride to the end of the tour.
I want to go again! I'm also curious about the manta ray tour. Maybe next year?
運が良かったのか、船で移動中にウミガメ4頭に遭遇できました。
浜にいるウミガメは見たことありますが、悠々と海を泳いでいるウミガメを見たのは初めてでした。
イルカ達にも早々と遭遇でき、こんなにたくさんの数で群れを成すのだと体感できました
また、スタッフの方達も早朝から参加者のテンションをあげるよう、元気に盛り上げて頂けてツアー全体が楽しい雰囲気で実行できました。
これは、イルカという主目的だけでなく、ツアーバスの乗車から終わりまでのツア-全体の運営を気持ちよくしようという努力が感じられ、気持ちよかったです。
また行きたい!! マンタツアーも気になりますね。また来年かな?
Aloha, Kumi!
Thank you for participating in the prestigious Dolphin University tour. We are all very happy that you were able to experience something that is hard to come by in Japan. When you visit the Big Island again, we also have tours like Manta University, so we look forward to seeing you again.

The children had their first experience with snorkeling, and thanks to Chieko and Mr. Dan's guidance, they were able to relax and swim with the beautiful fish in the sea. In the end, as expected from expert guides, we were able to encounter a sea turtle, which left us very satisfied. I forgot my mobile phone on the tour bus, but thank you for kindly delivering it to the hotel. I would like to participate again next time to experience more wonderful moments.
子供たちはシュノーケリング初体験でしたが、チエコさんとダン先生の言うとりにリラックスして綺麗な海で魚たちと泳ぐことが出来ました。最後にはさすが達人ガイド、海カメに出会うことができて大満足できました。ツアーバスの中に携帯電話を忘れてしまいましたが、親切にホテルまで届けて頂きありがとうございました。次回もまた感動を頂きに参加したいです。

The weather was nice, but as I researched beforehand, the sandbar had water up to my waist. If you don't like what you find in your research, it's better not to participate. The snorkeling at the coral reef was great. You can't get there without a boat. On the day, there were currents, and the guide said, "Think of it as training and do your best," which was funny. I went into the sea with a water camera and holding my child. Although I was wearing a life jacket, I felt like I was going to be overwhelmed by my child clinging to me. It became a great memory. The guide was also very nice and I recommend it. I will repeat this experience.
天気は良かったですがサンドバーは事前に調べた通りで腰まで水がありました。
事前に調べて気に入らない方は参加しない方が良いですね。
サンゴ礁でのスノーケリングが良かったです。船でなければこれません。
当日は海流がありガイドさんが”特訓だと思ってがんばってください”とw。
水中カメラと子供を抱えて海へ。救命胴衣を着けていますが、
私にしがみつき登り上がる子供に殺されると思いましたw。いい思い出になりました。
ガイドさんも感じが良くおすすめです。リピートします。

I thought I could have malasadas for breakfast, so I skipped breakfast, but I couldn't eat anything until lunch. What happened to the malasada photos from the past? I got to see dolphins, but since I jumped in with a five-year-old, it was quite exhausting to swim towards the dolphins. I couldn't keep up with the group at all and was struggling. Unfortunately, I couldn't see them while swimming. As a result, I ran out of energy to enjoy the marine activities, and the wait for the other participants' marine activities was long, which made me feel seasick halfway through, and it was quite tough. It seemed there were a few people who also got seasick. In the midst of all this, I was happy that the Japanese female staff member took great care of us.
朝マラサダが食べられると思い、朝ごはん抜きで来てしまったが、昼まで何も食べられなかった。過去のマラサダの写真は何だったのか?イルカには会えたが、私は5歳児と一緒に飛び込んだので、泳いでいるイルカの方に行くのはかなり体力消耗。集団に全然追いつけなくて必死だった。残念ながら泳ぎながら見ることは叶わなかった。なので、マリンアクティビティを楽しむ体力がなくなってしまい、他の参加者のマリンアクティビティ待ちが長くて、途中から船酔いしてしまい、かなりきつかった。船酔い組は何人かいたよう。そんななかで、日本人女子スタッフさんは甲斐甲斐しくお世話してくれて嬉しかったです。
Aloha!! Mr. Shinga,
Thank you for participating in the Dolphin University Tour. We have discontinued the provision of malasadas this year as they are fried foods that can easily cause seasickness. The dolphin tour can involve a lot of swimming depending on the dolphins and wave conditions that day, so our staff will continue to be mindful of caring for families with children during these times. We appreciate your valuable feedback.
Mahalo!!

この度はイルカ大学ツアーにご参加頂き、ありがとうございます。
マラサダのご用意は昨年より油を使った食べ物で、船酔いを引き起こしやすいということで廃止させて頂いております。
イルカのツアーはその日のイルカ先生や波の状況によって、すごくたくさん泳いだりもしますので、その際のお子様連れの方のケアなど
スタッフ一同さらに心掛けて、日々ツアーを向上していきたいと思います。
しんが様の貴重なご意見ありがとうございました。

I participated with my elementary and high school sons as a family. Shortly after boarding the boat, we were told that dolphins were nearby. We tried twice and were able to see many dolphins. There was even a baby dolphin in the pod, which was adorable. Later, we moved to a different spot for snorkeling where we saw sea turtles and various fish, and the kids were very excited. The cheeseburger we had on the boat was very delicious. It was a thoroughly satisfying tour.
小学生と高校生の息子達を連れて家族で参加しました。船に乗って間も無くイルカが近くにいるとの事。2回トライしてたくさんのイルカを見る事が出来ました。群れの中に赤ちゃんイルカもいて可愛いかったです。その後場所を変えてのシュノーケルではウミガメやお魚たちも見られたし、子供達も大興奮でした。船の上で食べたチーズバーガーがとても美味しかったです。大満足のツアーでした。

At first, I thought I wouldn't be able to see them, but the guide worked really hard to find them, and I was finally able to see a sea turtle up close! Other tour guides said there were no sea turtles today, so I was half resigned to that, but we were able to see one, and both my mother and I were thrilled! Thank you very much! The guide teaches you how to snorkel properly, so I recommend this tour for beginners as well!
最初は見られないかと思いましたが、ガイドの方が一生懸命探してくださって、念願のウミガメを間近で見ることができました!他のツアーのガイドの方は今日はウミガメはいないねと言っていたので、半分諦めていましたが、見ることができて、母も私も大興奮でした!ありがとうございました!しっかりシュノーケルの方法を教えてくださるので、初心者の方にもオススメのツアーです!

It was my first time at the sandbar! Depending on the season, I think, but I couldn't stand in the middle of the ocean as I had imagined... I was submerged up to my waist, and it was quite cold. However, the sea was very beautiful, and I was able to see turtles up close, and the snacks were delicious and satisfying! I would like to try again next time! (*^ω^*)
初めてのサンドバーでした!時季にもよると思うんですが、想像していたような海の真ん中に立てることはなかったです…。腰くらいまで浸る状態で、結構寒かったです。でも、海はとっても綺麗でしたし、カメも近くで見ることができましたし、軽食も美味しく満足できました!次回再チャレンジしたいと思います(*^ω^*)

Waikiki Beach is beautiful, but the Heaven's Sea Sandbar had even more stunning waters and a sense of openness that was amazing!! I was very satisfied to see so many sea turtles!
ワイキキビーチも綺麗ですが、天国の海サンドバーはさらに綺麗な海と開放感で最高でした!!
ウミガメもたくさん観れて大満足でした!

Thank you, Tukimi, for joining our tour. The sea conditions were good that day, allowing us to venture further out. We were lucky to see two turtles on the deep white sand rocks, and one even came up to show its face. We look forward to seeing you again when you visit Hawaii. Thank you very much. Mahalo!
tukimi様、この度は私達のツアーにご参加いただきましてありがとうございます。この日は海のコンディションも良く、沖の方に行けた日でした。深い白砂の岩の上に2匹の亀がいて、1匹は上に上がってきてお顔を見せてくれてラッキーでしたね。是非またハワイにお越しの際にはお会いできるのを楽しみにしております。
本当にありがとうございました。Mahalo!
