Angel's Sea 天使の海

Reviewed by: ゆかこう

It was just an ordinary shallow sea. There are more sea turtles around Hawaii Island, which is fun. It was great to see manta rays. I was dissatisfied that the snorkeling was adjusted for beginners.

ただの普通の浅瀬の海だった。ウミガメはハワイ島の方が沢山いて楽しい。マンタが見れたのは良かった。シュノーケルは初体験の人に合わせて行うのが不満。

I was able to see dolphins!!! イルカ見れました！！！

Reviewed by: なおみ

I was able to see dolphins!!!
Since I had heard that wild dolphins might not be seen sometimes, I was a bit worried about today, but I was truly moved to be able to see them o(^▽^)o♡
I was able to see them so clearly that I felt like I was looking at an aquarium tank.
I got to watch them swim for a while, and I was so happy to see a small baby dolphin too!
They swam quite close to us.
The dolphins were really cute o(^▽^)o
Not only dolphins, but I also saw about five or six sea turtles!
It was my first time seeing so many sea turtles up close, and I was really impressed!
When they came up for air, I was able to see them so closely, it was amazing!! I regretted not bringing an underwater camera... (laughs)
On the boat heading to the dolphin swimming point, the crew members kept the atmosphere lively, and we had a great time♡
The hula dance was wonderful too♡♡
I've participated in various tours before, but I think this was the most fun tour I've ever had!
The Japanese was so good, just like a native speaker, so I had no trouble during the tour (^｡^)
I definitely want to participate again when I go to Hawaii! Thank you so much!

イルカ見れました〜！！！
本当に野生のイルカだから
見れない時もあると聞いていたので、今日はどうかなーと少し心配でしたが見ることができて本当に感動しましたo(^▽^)o♡
水族館の水槽を見てるのかと思ったぐらいにしっかり見れました〜
しばらく泳ぐ姿を見ることができたし、
小さい赤ちゃんイルカも見れて嬉しかったです！
私たちの割と近くを泳いでくれました。
イルカ本当に可愛かったo(^▽^)o
イルカだけじゃなくて海ガメも５〜６匹見れました！
あんなに近くで、あれだけの海ガメを見たのは初めてで大感動でした！
息継ぎをしに上がってきた時は本当に近くで見れて感動！！水中カメラ持って行けば良かったと後悔しました・・・（笑）
イルカが泳いでいるポイントまで向かうときの船でもクルーの方々が盛り上げてくれて楽しく過ごせました♡
フラダンスも素敵でした♡♡
今までいろんなツアーに参加してきたけど
１番楽しかったと思うツアーになりました！
日本語も日本人みたいに上手だったのでツアー中も何不自由なかったです(^｡^)
またハワイに行ったらぜひ参加したいです！ありがとうございました〜！

BOB's Hawaii Underwater Scooter Adventure & Turtle Watching Tour

Who said that only swimmers can go under the sea??

Reviewed by: Dilu Braga

First I was really afraid because I can barely float, I don't swimming if is not at the pool and going short distance. But I decided to have a new experience as a solo traveler in Hawaii as my first visit. The crew were just amazing, the lady at office received me with a big smile and was very friendly. The rest of the crew really made me feels good and my fears went away. When we got to the spot in the sea the first animal I saw was a turtle, and was an amazing feeling. While the crew organizing every scooter the only thing in my mind was "oh please I don't want to be the first one", after the captain told me I will be the next, I ended up being the third person going under. Words can not explain, you really need to go and have this experience where you can actually be close and touch animals under the sea.
I was lucky enough to see turtles, different kind of fish and even an octopus that got stuck on my big helmet for my pictures and video.
By the end of the day I got my photos and video, I've played my video and couldn't believe that the woman was me, they really did a good job, from the beginning to the end
I really recommend BOB's Adventure underwater scooter, specially if you don't swim at all, like me.


PS: I took the bus to get there from downtown, the commute was really easy and you will get so see more.

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's different from what I imagined. 想像とは違います。

Reviewed by: hana

The sandbars you see on TV only appear when you calculate the tides. If you happen to experience a water depth of around your ankles, I think you’re quite lucky. The world you see on TV might be a bit difficult to experience on a tour, unless you rent a private boat and plan the date and time accordingly. When I went, it was from mid to late September, and the shallowest part was about halfway up my thighs.

Indeed, the water near the sandbar was clear and beautiful. However, it rained, and the overall experience was somewhat lacking.

The hamburgers made on the boat were delicious. The patties were frozen, but they grilled them on a BBQ, so they tasted great.

The issue came after lunch. We moved from the sandbar to an area with lots of coral for snorkeling. They took us to a place where you could say the coral spread over a large area. We were warned not to touch the coral, but depending on the tides, in shallow areas, the coral was about 30 cm below the surface. Can you swim in such places? The coral wasn’t particularly beautiful, and there weren’t many fish, so I didn’t feel the joy of snorkeling at all. Additionally, I was the only one who got stung by jellyfish multiple times on both shoulders and hands, having to endure pain and itching. You could say I was unlucky, but for this kind of experience, it felt overpriced.

テレビで観るようなサンドバーは潮の満ち引きを計算しないと現れません。
偶然にも足首程度の水深を体験出来た方は、かなりラッキーだと思います。
テレビで観るような世界は、ちょっとツアーでは難しいかな？プライベートで借り切って、日にちや時間も計算して行くなら別ですけど。
私が行った時は9月中旬～下旬にかけてでしたが、1番浅い所で太股の中間ぐらいでした。

確かにサンドバー近くは海は透き通っていて、きれいではありました。
しかし、雨は降るし、何とも言えない感じでした。

ただ船の上で作ってくれるハンバーガーは美味しかったです。( ´艸｀)パテは冷凍物ですが、BBQ用のコンロ？で焼いてくれるので、美味しかったです。

問題はランチを食べた後。
サンドバーから、珊瑚がたくさんあるところへ移動して、シュノーケリングをします。確かに珊瑚のの岩と言ってもいいぐらい大きい範囲にわたって珊瑚がある場所に連れて行ってくれます。
珊瑚には触らないようにと注意を受けましたが、潮の具合なのか浅いところだと水面から30cmぐらいの所に珊瑚があります。こんな所で泳げますか？？
特にキレイ珊瑚でもないし、魚がたくさんいるわけでもなく、シュノーケリングの楽しさが全く感じられませんでした。
そして私だけクラゲにたくさん刺されて両肩、両手と痛みと痒みに耐えなければなりませんでした。
運がなかったと言えばそれまでですが、こんな内容に対しては高いという感じです。

Shark Diving Hawaii - Cageless Pelagic Snorkel Tour with FREE Photos & Videos

Amazing experience swimming with sharks!

Reviewed by: Amy Walter

First time ever swimming with sharks and it was definitely one of the coolest experiences of my life. Naturally, I was pretty nervous but the moment I stepped on the boat and met the owner/boat captain and his two employees I was immediately put at ease. They are all local guys who are extremely knowledgeable about sharks, told us what to expect, and gave very specific instructions. The owner said he has been doing this for 30 years. Plus, they were very kind and personable which added to the experience.The safety swimmer gets in the water before you and is with you the entire time. He will hold your hand if you are nervous. Sharks are misunderstood creatures so put your preconceived notions and fears about them aside and go on this adventure! You won't regret it!

I can't forget the sound of Teacher Dolphin's voice!! イルカ先生の鳴き声が忘れられません！！

Reviewed by: はわいはじめて

My first trip to Hawaii!!

About two days before my departure, I saw this tour featured on a stylish program about Hawaii, so I made a reservation. I participated with my boyfriend.

**About the Pickup**
Since our hotel was included as a pickup point for the tour, it was convenient to board the bus right from the front entrance of the hotel. Before the bus arrived, a cheerful female staff member who spoke Japanese came to inform us that the bus was slightly delayed due to traffic, which made me feel at ease.

**On the Bus**
During the ride, the lively staff member shared interesting information about the geography and climate of Oahu, snorkeling precautions, and stories about dolphins and sea turtles, which kept us entertained!

**Arrival at the Port**
Once we arrived at the port, we were given ample time to use the restroom.

**Boarding & the Main Event: Dolphins and Sea Turtles**
We headed to a beautiful sea that felt like nature, quite different from the urban Waikiki Beach! We went quite far out. The boat was designed to minimize rocking, so no one experienced seasickness. The cobalt blue color of the sea is unforgettable. After a while, we spotted dolphins jumping around. I was surprised at how easily we could see them! Then, we put on our gear and dove into the water!! We quickly saw a pod of dolphins. I even heard the dolphins making sounds like "quee-quee"!

We returned to the boat, changed locations, and dove again. I was glad to meet the dolphins both times! One piece of advice: when instructed to enter the water, even if you feel a bit scared, it's better to get in as quickly as possible to increase your chances of seeing the dolphins. Some people who hesitated on the boat missed seeing the dolphins when they finally got in. I jumped in quickly and had a great encounter with the dolphins!

Back on the boat, we headed to the spot where the sea turtles were! Snorkeling was so much fun. I saw colorful fish and coral. Then, we were told there was a sea turtle nearby! As I swam over, there was the sea turtle! Watching it felt like time stood still; it was a magical experience.

The reason this tour refers to dolphins as "teachers" and sea turtles as "professors" will become clear once you participate. It truly felt mystical, and I was filled with a sense of awe, as if my heart was being seen through.

**Marine Sports**
I tried stand-up paddleboarding. It was a short time due to the rotation, but I enjoyed it!

**Food**
On the boat, we were provided with pineapple, juice, snacks, and cheeseburgers. The cheeseburger was slightly warm and delicious! It felt very accommodating.

**Atmosphere on the Boat**
We were given lyric sheets and sang traditional Hawaiian songs and danced. All the staff were cheerful, and it was a lot of fun!

**Return**
When disembarking, tipping was not required. We were also taken back to our hotel by bus, just like on the way there, which was convenient.

**Overall**
For this experience and this price, it was a bargain!! The consideration for the tour guests was also great!

Mahalo~

人生初のハワイ旅行！！
出国日の２日ほど前に、おしゃれイズムのハワイ特集で、こちらのツアーが取り上げられていたこともあり、予約しました。彼氏と２人で参加しました。

〈ピックアップに関して〉
滞在先ホテルが、ツアーのピックアップ地点に含まれていたので、ホテルの正面玄関からバスに乗れて便利でした。バスが来る前に、日本語の話せる元気ハツラツな女性スタッフが、徒歩で来てくれて、バスが渋滞で少し遅れていることなどを伝えてくださり、安心しました。

〈バス内〉
車中では、先ほどの元気なお姉さんが、オアフ島の地理・気候の話や、シュノーケリングにおける注意事項、イルカやウミガメの話など、タメになるお話をしてくれたおかげで退屈しませんでした！

〈港に到着〉
港に着いたら、トイレに行くための充分な時間が与えられました。

〈乗船＆本題のイルカ・ウミガメ〉
都会のワイキキビーチとはまた違った雰囲気の、ローカルな、大自然を感じるきれいな海へ！
かなり沖のほうまで行きました。船はあまり揺れない構造になっているそうで、船酔いしている方はいませんでした。
コバルトブルーというんでしょうか…あの美しい海の色は忘れられません。
沖に出てしばらくすると、イルカ先生たちがピョンピョンしていらっしゃるのが見られました。
イルカって、こんなに簡単に見られるものなのかと、驚きました！
そして、道具をつけて、海へダイブ！！
すぐに群れを見ることができました。
私は、「キュイーン、キュイーン」というイルカ先生の声も聴くことができました！

一度船に戻り、場所を変えてもう一度潜りました。
２回ともしっかりイルカ先生に会えてよかったです！
★ここで一つ、注意なのですが、海へ入る指示がでたら、多少の恐怖感があっても、ためらわずになるべく早く海へ入ったほうが、イルカ先生に会うチャンスが増えると思います。
船上で怖がってモタモタしてしまった人の中には、海に入ったときにはイルカ先生が逃げてしまっていて見られなかった、という人たちがいたようです。
私はサッと入ったので、イルカ先生にばっちり会えました！

再び船に戻り、次はウミガメ大教授のいらっしゃるスポットへ！
とにかく、シュノーケリングが、楽しい。きれいな色のお魚や、サンゴを見ました。
すると、ウミガメがいるとの指示が！
そちらのほうに泳いでいくと、ウミガメ大教授がいらっしゃいました！
見ている間は、時が止まっているような、不思議な感覚がしました。

こちらのツアーで、イルカを「先生」、ウミガメを「大教授」と呼んでいる理由は、参加すればわかると思います。本当に、神秘的で、心を見透かされているような、畏敬の念がわきました。

〈マリンスポーツ〉
私はスタンダップ・パドルに挑戦しました。交代制なので、短時間ですが、楽しめました！

〈食べ物〉
船上では、パイナップルやジュース、スナック、チーズバーガーなどが支給されました。
チーズバーガーは、ほんのりあったかく、おいしかったです！
至れり尽くせり、という感じでした。

〈船上の雰囲気〉
歌詞カードが配られ、ハワイの伝統的な歌や踊りをしました。どのスタッフも陽気で、とても楽しかったです！

〈帰り〉
船を降りる際、チップは不要でした。
帰りも、行きと同じように滞在先ホテルまでバスで送ってもらったので、楽でした。

〈総合的に〉
この内容で、この値段は、安い！！
ツアー客への気遣いもよかったです！

マハロ〜

2.5-Hour Spirit of Aloha Waikiki Turtle Snorkel Tour with Cocktails from Hilton

AMAZING

Reviewed by: Heather

This was arguably one of the best things we did this trip!! Our crew was AMAZING! So friendly, patient and helpful. I can't say enough good things. I've never snorkeled before, I'm not a strong swimmer so I kind of panicked when I was just our in open water even with the group. The crew member leading us to Turtle Canyon saw me struggling, came over and swam me there where I became just mesmerized by how close we were to the fish & turtles I calmed down enough to actually snorkel! She also took my camera down and got crazy awesome pictures. Food was great, drinks were delicious, the sail was beautiful. I cannot say enough good things about this excursion. Worth every penny! Cannot wait to snorkel again!

When we participated, there were many foreign participants, but they kindly taught us various things in Japanese, which made us feel at ease during the tour. It was my second time snorkeling, but perhaps because we were in the water for a bit longer than before, I got seasick. Next time, I want to take motion sickness medication before participating. I was disappointed that I didn't get to see any turtles. The view was very beautiful.

私たちが参加したときは、外国人参加者の方が多かったですが、日本語で丁寧にいろいろなことを教えてくださいって、安心してツアーに参加できました。シュノーケリングは何回目かでしたが、今までより少し長めの時間海にいたせいか、酔ってしまいました。今度は酔い止めを飲んでから参加したいと思います。亀に会えず残念でした。とてもながめはきれいでした。

Disappointing. 期待はずれ

Reviewed by: chizuru

I was expecting a beach that looked like the one in the photos, but after a one-hour bus ride (and a late pickup) and a 20-minute boat ride, I arrived at just a beautiful sea. The water was only waist-deep, so it felt like I paid a lot of money just to soak in a nice sea. The guide was friendly and had a great attitude, so I gave it two stars, but it was still very disappointing.

写真で見たようなビーチの出現を期待していましたが、バスで1時間（しかもピックアップは遅れ）、船で20分ほどの移動で訪れたのはただの綺麗な海、といった感じでした。深さが腰ほどまであったので高いお金を払って綺麗な海に浸かりにいったようなものでした。ガイドの方は気さくでとても感じがよかったので星は２つにしましたが、その分とても残念でした。

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＞

I was moved! 感動しました！

Reviewed by: さつき

I joined because I heard I could meet wild dolphins! On the day of the event, while waiting at the designated spot, a bus with a dolphin illustration arrived, and I thought, "This is it!" As I was taking a photo, it turned out to be the Dolphin University bus, and a lady called out to us, "Dolphin Middle School is over here! We're middle schoolers!" (laughs)

That lady talked enthusiastically about Hawaii, dolphins, and important notes for meeting dolphins while we were on the bus! Listening to her talk about dolphins made me feel her love for them, and I was really glad she was our guide (*^^*).

When we arrived at the port, we checked the size of our fins and changed into wetsuits. It costs $10, so I didn't want to force anyone, but they said the seawater is colder than you think, and it would be sad if we couldn't enjoy it because of the cold... So I borrowed one, and I was glad I did! Before getting wet, it was almost too warm, but once we were in the water and during the boat ride, the strong wind would have made it really cold without the wetsuit.

Finally, we set off! I was worried about not seeing any dolphins since they are wild, but we spotted them sooner than expected! It took about 20 minutes, I think. Diving into the sea while recalling what I learned on the bus, I initially felt anxious about snorkeling, but once I put my face in the water, my worries disappeared!

A pod of dolphins was swimming right below me, and they were everywhere, so I was desperately trying to follow them! Even when I thought they had swum away, they would come back from behind, and I was so moved to see so many of them...!

We moved to another spot where there were turtles and tropical fish. I was surprised to see a super huge turtle swimming right nearby!! Behind it were a medium-sized turtle and a tiny turtle! I learned that dolphins are the teachers and turtles are the professors, so my friend and I got excited, saying, "Look, a big professor!" (laughs)

A small turtle came up close enough to touch, and we could see it really up close! It was actually hard not to touch it (laughs). After seeing the turtles, I thought we were done, but when we returned to the boat, the captain called out, "One more time, dolphins!" and took us back to where the dolphins were!

I could feel the captain's desire to let us enjoy as much as possible, and I was really glad I signed up for this tour! (*^^*) The last dolphins were truly abundant, jumping around the boat even before we got in the water! Once we were in, I saw dolphins swimming right below me, and then there were more in front of me, circling around for a long time. It was truly moving! My friend even got to see a dolphin come up right next to her for a breath!

I remembered the lady on the bus saying, "Dolphins communicate with ultrasound, so they can understand our feelings, and miraculous things can really happen! So talk to them a lot and enjoy!" (*^^*)

When we returned to the boat, we were given warm tea and light snacks, including cheese, granola, and spam rice balls! The spam rice balls were so delicious after all that swimming! We also had sweet pineapple for dessert, which was really tasty!

I had such a fulfilling time (*^^*). When we returned to the bus, there was an announcement about purchasing photos. If you buy the data, a URL is sent via email, and you can download it within a month. If you want a USB, you have to go to the office to pick it up, so I think the data option is more convenient! There were many photos that I couldn't have taken myself, so I was glad I purchased them too!

The only disappointing thing was that the lady who talked to us on the way there was replaced by someone else when we departed. Of course, the other person was very nice too, but I regretted not being able to thank her in person and not being able to take a photo together. I think her name was Julie. She was very energetic and full of love for dolphins, sharing lots of trivia about them

野生のイルカに会えると知り参加しました！
当日、指定の場所で待っているとイルカのイラストが書いてあるバスが来たので、あっこれだ！と思い写真を撮っているとイルカ大学のバスだったようで、「イルカ中学はこっちこっち！うちらは中坊だから！」とお姉さんに呼ばれました(笑)
そのお姉さんはバスの中でもハワイのことからイルカのこと、イルカ会うための注意事項などなど、元気いっぱいにたっくさん話してくれました！イルカについて話を聞いているとお姉さんのイルカ愛が伝わってきて、このお姉さんが担当で良かったなと思いました(*^^*)
港についてフィンのサイズを確認し、ウェットスーツに着替えました。＄10かかるので強制はしたくないんですが、海水は思ってる以上に冷たいから、着た方がいいよ、寒さのせいで楽しめなかったら悲しいから…と言われ、確かにそうだなと思い借りました。結果借りてよかったです！濡れる前は逆に暑いくらいでしたが、濡れてからは海の中ではもちろん、ボートで移動中すごい風を浴びるので着てなければ寒かったと思います。
いよいよ出発！野生のイルカなので会えなかったらどうしよう……と不安もありましたが、予想以上に早くイルカを発見！20分かかったかな？
バスの中で教えてもらったことを思い出しながら海にダイブ！最初はシュノーケルうまくできるかな？と不安でしたが、海に顔をつけたら不安なくなりました！
真下をイルカの群れが泳いでて、あちこちにいるので追うのに必死でした！でも行っちゃった～と思ってもまた後ろから泳いできてくれたり、たくさん見れて感動……！
場所移動して今度はカメや熱帯魚がいるスポットへ。
超～～でっかいカメがすぐそこを泳いでてびっくり！！その後ろに中くらいのカメとちっちゃいカメもいました！
イルカが先生でカメは教授って教わってたので、友人と大教授だー！と盛り上がりました(笑)
小さい子が触れそうなくらい海面まで上がってきてホントに間近で見れました！むしろ触らないようにするのが大変なくらい(笑)
カメも見たしもう終わりかな～と思いながらボートに戻ると、船長さんが「もう一回、イルカ！」と声をかけてくれてまたイルカのいるところへ連れていってくれました！
時間が許す限り楽しませようという気持ちが伝わってきて、このツアーに申し込んでホントに良かったなと思いました！(*^^*)
最後のイルカはもうホントにたくさんいて、海に入る前からボートの周りをたくさんジャンプして姿を見せてくれました！海に入っても、真下泳いでたと思ったら前にもいるし、真下でぐるぐる回って長い間イルカたちがそばにいてくれて、本当に感動しました！友人はすぐ真横にイルカが上がってきて息継ぎ？するところも見れたそうです！
バスでお姉さんが「イルカは超音波で会話するから、私たちの気持ちも分かってくれるし奇跡みたいなことも本当に起こるから！たくさん話しかけて楽しんで♪」って言ってたのを思い出しました(*^^*)
ボートに戻ると暖かいお茶と軽食をいただきました。チーズとグラノーラとスパムおにぎりも！たくさん泳いだ後のスパムおにぎりとっても美味しかった！デザートにパイナップルもいただきましたが、これが甘くてこれまた美味しかったです！
とっても充実した時間を過ごせました(*^^*)
バスに戻って写真の購入の案内がありました。
データで購入する場合はURLがメールで送られてきて１ヶ月以内にダウンロードする感じでした。USBだと事務所？まで取りに行かないといけないのでデータが便利だと思います！自分では撮れないような写真がたくさんだったので、これも購入してよかったです♪
ひとつだけ残念だったことは、行きのバスの中で話してくれたお姉さんが、何かあったのか出発するときに違う方に代わったことです。もちろん他の方もとても良い方でしたが、最後にお礼を言えなかったことと一緒に写真が撮れなかったことが心残りでした。
お名前ジュリさんって方だったと思います。とても元気でイルカ愛に溢れてて、イルカの豆知識やどうしたらイルカが怖がらないかなどたくさん教えてくれました。フィンはゆっくり大きく水面は蹴らないようになどなど、本当にためになりました！
直接お礼を言えなかったのでこちらで失礼します。
今度参加する機会があればぜひジュリさんと一緒に泳ぎたいです(*^^*)

The Japanese guide was very attentive and made the experience enjoyable. However, the water level was higher than waist height due to high tide. I recommend going during low tide! It's a good idea to bring a large bath towel and a phone that can be hung around your neck! Also, since changing rooms can get crowded, it's advisable to wear your swimsuit from the start and have an outfit like a dress for quick changes!

日本語のガイドのお姉さんがとても気が利いて楽しめました。ただ、満潮時だったので腰より高い位置に水位がありました。干潮時に行くのがオススメです！大きなバスタオルと携帯を首からかけられるのを持っていくと良いですね！あと着替えが混むので元から水着を着てワンピースなどで早着替えできる格好がおすすめです！

I've always wanted to visit Sandbar♡ I went there on my honeymoon. At the start of the tour, it was rainy and cloudy... just when I was feeling anxious, the sky cleared up!!!! I couldn't contain my excitement at the breathtaking scenery that exceeded my expectations☆彡 For those who will be participating, I highly recommend taking the smaller boat♡ You might get splashed by the waves, but you can enjoy lunch without waiting, and you get to see sea turtles and mantas up close!! The mantas were swimming in a circle, feeding on plankton, which is said to be a rare sight. The turtles even came to greet us while we were scuba diving, and I was so happy to swim with them♡ I also learned that it was a filming location for Jurassic Park and Pirates, which added to the excitement♡ If you visit Hawaii, you definitely should check it out♡

以前から行きたかったサンドバー♡
ハネムーンで行かせていただきました。
ツアー始めは雨で曇り...不安に思っていたところで晴天に！！！！
期待以上の光景に興奮が止まりませんでした☆彡
これから参加される方はぜひちっちゃい方の船に乗ることをおすすめします♡
波しぶきで濡れることはありますが、昼食は待たずに食べられるし、海ガメやマンタを間近で見ることができました！！
マンタは群れで円陣を組んでクルクル回りながらプランクトンを食べていました。なかなか見れない珍しい光景との事です。
カメちゃんはスキューバ中にも会いに来てくれて一緒に泳げて幸せー♡
ジュラシックパークやパイレーツのロケ地だということもわかりさらに興奮♡
Hawaiiに来た際にはぜひ行ってみてください♡

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＞

Second time at Sandbar!! サンドバー二回目！！

Reviewed by: みぃぴょ

I participated in a sandbar tour during my trip to Hawaii last year, and it was so beautiful that I decided to join again this time! I booked the half-day plan, and we were lucky with the weather, allowing us to take lots of great photos! We also got to see turtles up close, which was so much fun! I definitely plan to participate again on my next trip to Hawaii!

去年のハワイ旅行の時もサンドバーツアー参加し、とても綺麗だったので今回も参加させていただきました♡半日プランで予約しましたがお天気にも恵まれいい写真がたくさん撮れました！タートルもすごく近くで見れてとっても楽しかったです！！次のハワイ旅行でも絶対参加しようと思います♡

Dolphins up close! イルカが間近に！

Reviewed by: イルカ三昧

This was my first tour, and I went with my mother. It was also my first time snorkeling, but the guide explained everything clearly on the bus, so there were no issues at all. Since it was a bit chilly after mid-September, I rented a wetsuit. It cost about $10, but I was glad I did. Luckily, we encountered dolphins as soon as we got into the water. I was amazed to see them up close like that. We also moved to different spots and were able to see dolphins swimming below us. I heard that there might be a law preventing us from getting close to dolphins in the future, which is very disappointing. I would love to participate again if I have the chance.

ツアー初参加で、母と行きました。シュノーケリングも初めてでしたが、バスの中でお兄さんがきちんと説明して下さったので、なんの問題もありませんでした。9月中旬を過ぎていたためか少し肌寒かったので、ウェットスーツを借りました。10ドルほどかかりますが、借りてよかったです。イルカには運良く、海に入ってすぐに会えました。こんなに間近で見られたことに感動しました。その後もポイントを移動して、下の方を泳ぐイルカを見つけられました。もしかしたら法律で、イルカの近くに行けなくなるというお話を聞いたので、とても残念です。機会があったらまた参加したいです。

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 moved by the world under the sea that I saw for the first time!! 初めて見る海の中の世界に感動！！

Reviewed by: yoko

This was my first time snorkeling, but after seeing the experiences and photos here, I wanted to swim with dolphins and sea turtles, so I decided to participate.

After 6 AM, I got on the shuttle bus to leave Waikiki, feeling a bit dazed due to my low blood pressure and my struggle with mornings. There were about 20 participants, ranging from energetic seniors, mainly young couples, to small children. During the ride to the West Coast, where we could see dolphins, we had a fun lesson about dolphins, learning about their ecology and safety tips in the water.

Upon arrival at the spot, those who wanted to could rent a wetsuit for $10. Almost everyone, both men and women, rented one that day. Given the temperature and water temperature in mid-September, I don't think it would feel particularly cold without one, but wearing it can provide peace of mind for those who are unsure about swimming since it helps you float in the water.

Once we boarded the motorized rubber boat, the guide assigned us seating positions to balance the weight evenly. After that, we put on our fins and masks to check the sizes, and once we were ready, off we went!!

In just about 15 minutes of running, we arrived right next to a pod of dolphins! (It seemed we were quite lucky that day, as there are days when you might not encounter them for about an hour.) Before meeting the dolphins, we all entered the water for a practice swim. Then we approached the pod again by boat and watched the surface closely. When we spotted the black dorsal fins, we finally found the dolphins we had been longing to see! I had hoped to swim at the same level as the dolphins, but with the life jacket and wetsuit making me float, I ended up looking down at the dolphins swimming below me. Still, I was thrilled to see a baby dolphin jump right in front of me; it was so cute!

Next, we moved to a point where we could see sea turtles and beautiful fish. After taking off our life jackets and diving into the water, I was surrounded by colorful fish in shades of yellow and light blue, swirling around me like a treasure chest, which felt incredibly luxurious. I could only see the sea turtles from the boat, but the underwater world I experienced for the first time was amazing.

Lastly, regarding photos, you can purchase those taken by the accompanying photographer for $50. It includes not only shots of the participants and underwater scenes but also a collection of past best shots featuring the adorable dolphins and sea turtles. Although it’s a bit pricey, you’re guaranteed to get better photos than if you took them yourself.

The cheerful staff provided detailed support, making it a tour that can be enjoyed by both adults and children, so I highly recommend it.

シュノーケリングは初めてでしたが、こちらの体験談や写真を見てイルカやウミガメと一緒に
泳いでみたくて参加しました。

朝６時過ぎ、低血圧でとにかく朝が苦手なのでボーっとしながら迎えのバスに乗り込みワイキキを出発。参加者は20名程度でしたが、若いご夫婦を中心に元気いっぱいのシニアの方々から小さなお子さんまで様々でした。
イルカが見られるウエストコーストへ向かう車内ではイルカに関する授業が行われ、イルカの生態や海の中での注意事項まで楽しく学べます。

ポイントへ到着すると、希望者は10＄でウエットスーツを借りられます。この日は男女共ほぼ全員が借りていました。９月中旬のこの日の気温・水温では、なくても特別寒さは感じないと思いますが、着ると水中で体が勝手に浮くので泳ぎが不安な方は着ておくと安心でしょう。

エンジン付きのゴムボートに乗り込むと、ガイドさんによりボートの上で体重が均等になるよう座る位置を振り分けられます。その後、フィンやマスクを装着してサイズを確認し、準備が整ったらいざ出発！！

そして走ることわずか15分ほどでイルカの群れがいるすぐそばまで到着！（この日はかなりラッキーだったようで、1時間ぐらい出会えない日もあるとのこと）
まずイルカと対面する前に一度全員で海に入り、泳ぎの練習を行います。
そこから再度ボートで群れに近づき、水面をじっと見守ります。
黒い背びれが見えたらついに念願のイルカ発見！！
イルカと同じ目線で泳げることを期待していましたが、ライフジャケットとウエットスーツで身体が浮いてしまうので、実際は群れになって泳ぐイルカたちを上から見下ろすような格好になります。それでも、小さな赤ちゃんイルカが目の前でくるんとジャンプする瞬間が見れ、その可愛さにキュンとしました☆

そこから今度はウミガメやきれいな魚たちが見られるポイントへ移動。
ライフジャケットを脱いで水の中へ潜ると、黄色や淡いブルーなど色とりどりの魚たちが自分の周りをグルグルと行き交ってる様子がまるで宝石箱のようで最高に贅沢な気分でした☆☆
肝心のウミガメはボートの上からしか見られませんでしたが、初めて見る海の中の世界は素晴らしいものでした。

最後に写真についてですが、同行するカメラマンが取ってくれたものを50＄で購入することが出来ます。参加メンバーや水中の様子はもちろん、イルカやウミガメのかわいい姿が見られる
過去のベストショット集までついているので、値は張りますが自分で撮るより確実にいい写真が
手に入ります。

明るいスタッフの方々がきめ細かくサポートしてくださり、大人から子供まで幅広く楽しめるツアーですので、ぜひおすすめします。

ウミガメシュノーケリング　ホロカイ・カタマラン号　高確率でウミガメに会えるタートルキャニオンへ！ソフトドリンク&スナック付き＜3時間／英語／ワイキキホテル発＞

It's a tour where you can meet sea turtles, but the tropical fish... ウミガメに会えるツアーですが熱帯魚は・・・。

Reviewed by: ジュリ

The water clarity was so-so. You could somewhat see the ocean floor, but not clearly. There were some larger tropical fish, but don't expect too much. However, a sea turtle appeared right in front of me, which was an experience I hadn't had in previous snorkeling trips. I recommend this for those who want to see sea turtles. The location for check-in was a bit hard to find, and the staff member who guided us spoke only English, which made it a bit confusing. That's why I gave this rating, but if you're not concerned about these aspects and just want to see sea turtles, it's a good option.

水の透明度は、まーまーでした。海の底は何とか見えたり見えなかったりです。熱帯魚は大きめな魚がチヤホヤ程度で、期待はしてはいけませんが、ウミガメが目の前に現れました。これは今までのシュノーケリングには無かった経験でした。ウミガメを見たい方はお薦めです。受付の場所が分かりにくいのと、受付の案内をするお兄さんが英語のみで、わかりにくかったので、この評価にしましたが、この辺りを気にせずウミガメを見たい場合は手頃です。

Wild Dolphin & Sea Turtle Snorkeling Cruise (Includes Onboard Lunch and Marine Sports) by Elite Dolphin University 野生のイルカ＆ウミガメ　シュノーケリング・クルーズ（船上ランチ・マリンスポーツ付き）　by 名門イルカ大学

Reviewed by: SHU

When we left the hotel, it was raining quite heavily, and I was worried, but by the time we arrived at the port, it was clear skies!! The one-hour journey to the port flew by thanks to our guide's stories. I was a bit anxious because we couldn't find the dolphin teacher for a while, but in the end, we managed to encounter it, and then the turtle professor also appeared, which was great. I definitely want to participate again next time.

ホテルを出るときはかなり雨が降っていて心配でしたが、港に着くころには快晴！！
港までの1時間もガイドさんの話であっというまでした。
イルカ先生がなかなか見つからず焦りましたが、最後にはなんとか遭遇でき、そのあとにはウミガメ教授も現れて良かったです。是非次回も参加したいです。

2.5-Hour Spirit of Aloha Waikiki Turtle Snorkel Tour with Cocktails from Hilton

Turtle Canyon Snorkel

Reviewed by: Meg

Unfortunately, on the day I arrived with my booking we were turned away, even though I had a printed booking for the trip and reference number. The Catamaran company had not had confirmation from Veltra sent through. They could have called to check but they did not seem interested in doing so. To be turned away was was embarrassing and disappointing as this was a birthday treat for that particular day.

We called Veltra and they did apologise for the misunderstanding and booked us on the next day. We had no issues the next day and I must say had a wonderful time. It was just lucky we had another free day.

Unfortunately, I ended up waist-deep in the sea, but I had a great time taking photos, playing volleyball, and snorkeling. I was also able to see turtles from the boat. The crew members were all fun, and the hamburgers grilled on the water were delicious! I would love to participate again!

残念ながら腰当たりまで海に浸かってしまったが
写真を撮ったり、バレーをしたり、シュノーケルをしたり
楽しい時間を過ごせました。
船上の上から亀も見れました。
クルーの方が楽しい方ばかりで、また、海の上で焼いたハンバーガーもおいしかった！
また参加したいです！

It was my first snorkeling experience. The guide was super nice and friendly. She was taking pictures of us and later posted them on facebook.
That day we could see many fish and water was clear.
I loved it soooo much, so next day I came to Hanauma Bay bymyself.
Thanks for the great experience!
