I chose this tour because I really wanted to go snorkeling in the beautiful ocean on my first trip to Hawaii. Having a guide who was familiar with the area and the sea made us feel safe entering the water, even though it was our first time snorkeling. The underwater scenery was stunning, and both my husband and I were very satisfied to swim alongside so many fish. The guide kindly accepted my wife's unreasonable request to see a sea turtle and took us to spots that other tours wouldn't go to. Although we didn't see a swimming turtle, thanks to the guide's efforts, we were able to see one resting on a rock. I would like to book with this tour again for our next trip to Hawaii.
初めてのハワイで是非綺麗な海でシュノーケリングをしたいという気持ちがありこちらを選択しました。
やはり土地、海に慣れたガイドさんがいたので、シュノーケリング初めての私達も安心して海に入る事ができました。
海の中はとても綺麗で沢山の魚と一緒に泳いでいるような情景に夫婦共々大満足です。
嫁の海ガメを見たいという無理なお願いにも快く引き受けて下さり、他のツアーでは行けないようなスポットへも案内してくれました。泳いでいるカメは見られませんでしたが、ガイドさんの努力のお陰で岩の上で寝ている姿をしっかり見る事ができました。
次回ハワイ旅行がある時もこちらで予約をしたいと思います。

I borrowed a bike and rode south to the farthest part of the beach. It was secluded from everyone which made time more enjoyable. Less noise, more ocean. I snorkeled most of the day and relaxed. Again, very enjoyable.
However, the business and its employees is different story. They were wonderful, helpful, attentive, whatever other synonym out there that reflects on how a business should be.

I have been to Hawaii several times, but this was my first time participating in a sandbar tour. It was a morning-only tour, but I didn't feel that the time was too short. In fact, it was great to have a focused experience and make good use of the afternoon. The guide was entertaining, and the crew members were very kind.
The sandbar itself appeared up to my ankles, so I was very satisfied with that. I was able to take some great photos. The snorkeling gear was in good condition, and the life jacket was easy to use. I also brought a rash guard and a beach towel for warmth.
If I had known how good this was, I would have experienced a sandbar tour much earlier. I definitely want to participate again next time.
数回ハワイに行っていますが、サンドバーのツアーには初めて参加しました。
午前中のみのツアーでしたが特に時間が短いとは感じませんでした。むしろ短期集中で午後を有効活用できて良かったです。
ガイドさんのしゃべりも面白くクルーの皆さんも大変親切でした。
肝心のサンドバーはくるぶしくらいまで出現してくれましたので、こちらも大満足です。
良い写真も撮れました。
シュノーケリングセットも状態が良く、ライフジャケットも使いやすかったです。
寒さ対策でラッシュガードとビーチタオルも持参しました。
こんなに良いものならもっと早くサンドバーのツアーを経験しておけば良かったです。
次回も是非参加したいと思います。

We went on a 5-night, 7-day trip to Hawaii for our honeymoon, and the day we used the service was the third day of our entire itinerary. I had previously done snorkeling in Okinawa and its islands, so I was really looking forward to it.
However, due to the extremely low tide during a big tide, the population density was very high, there were few entry points, and the variety of marine life we could see was somewhat limited, so I apologize for my somewhat harsh evaluation, but I will say I was "satisfied."
That said, the hospitality of the two staff members was wonderful, and I would definitely recommend this to anyone wanting to enjoy marine leisure with family or friends. When we visited, we were paired with a couple from America and a Japanese family (three generations), and everyone seemed to be having a great time.
Next time, I would like to visit when the tide conditions are better! Thank you very much for your service!
ハネムーンで5泊7日でハワイ旅行に行き、利用させて頂いた当日は全行程の3日目でした。
以前に沖縄本島や離島でシュノーケリングをしたことがあり、非常に楽しみにしていました。
当日は大潮?のド干潮で人口密度が非常に高かったこと、エントリー出来るところが少なかったこと、見れた生き物の種類がやや少なかったため評価が辛めで申し訳ないですが『満足』とさせて頂きました。
ただ、スタッフお二方のホスピタリティは素晴らしく、家族や友達とマリンレジャーを楽しみたい方には是非おすすめしたいです。お邪魔した際はアメリカから来たご夫妻と日本人のご家族(3世代)と組合せでしたが、皆さんとても楽しそうでした
次回は潮まわりが良いときに伺ってみたいです!
どうもお世話になりました!
Thank you for joining our tour. On this day, we experienced a low tide where the coral reef was exposed, which meant we couldn't swim over the reef, causing people to gather in the deeper sandy areas. I apologize for that. However, I believe the visibility is better during low tide, so it was easier to see the fish. Please consider trying the introductory diving experience at Hanauma Bay next time. If the sea conditions are good during diving, we can go beyond the white buoy to the open water, which means there won't be a high density of people, and you can enjoy Hanauma Bay even more. I look forward to seeing you again. Thank you. Mahalo!!
この度は私達のツアーに来ていただき、ありがとうございます。この日はサンゴ礁が海面から出ているくらいの引き潮に当たり、サンゴ礁の上を泳ぐことができないために砂地の深め所に人が集まってしまうんですね。ごめんなさいね。でも引き潮の時の方が透明度は良いですからお魚は見やすかったかと思います。是非次回はハナウマベイでの体験ダイビングにも挑戦してみてください。ダイビングでは海の状態が良ければ、白ブイを超えて沖の方まで行きますので人口密度も高くないですし、もっともっとハナウマ湾を楽しんでいただけるかと思います。またお会いできるのを楽しみにしております。ありがとうございました。Mahalo!!

This was my first time participating in the tour. I checked the weather and tide conditions in advance to choose the date, but I was too optimistic. On the day, it was cloudy and quite cold for mid-May! For those deciding on a date in the future, it's definitely better to check the forecast specifically for Kaneohe, as the weather can be quite different from Honolulu.
To be strict, I think the tour organizers should limit the dates to sunny days and when the sandbar is accessible (knee-deep) to ensure higher satisfaction. As it stands now, the photos and reality are too different, and I believe participants may feel dissatisfied. Even if it's difficult to limit the dates, it would be good to include photos from cloudy days and provide clearer information about what to expect on days with bad weather.
● Customer Service
Everyone was very good. They were friendly and approachable.
● Sandbar
It doesn't look beautiful when it's cloudy, and it appears murky. It's also cold even in May.
● Snorkeling
It was cold, but once I got used to it, it was fun.
● Food
We had hamburgers, fries, stewed beans, pineapple, and drinks. The taste was just okay. The lemonade I chose honestly wasn't very good! I thought the hot drink after coming out of the sea was a very nice service!
● Restrooms
There were two on the boat.
That's all. Thank you.
今回初めてツアーに参加させて頂きました。天気と潮の満ち干きは事前に調べて日を選んだのですが、甘かったです。当日、曇りで5月半ばでしたが寒かった!
これから日取りを決める方は、予報は必ずカネオヘで調べたほうがいいです。ホノルルとカネオヘでは随分と天気が違うからです。
厳しく言うなら、ツアー企画側も、天気が晴れの日とサンドバーが出る時期(膝より下)で日取りを限定すると、高い満足度になるのではないでしょうか。今のままでは写真と現実が違いすぎて参加されたお客様は不満だと思います。
日の限定は難しくても、曇りの日の写真を載せておく、もう少し、天候の悪い日の事を詳しくわかりやすく書いておくと良いかなと思います。
●接客
みなさんとてもよかったです。フレンドリーで、気さくな方ばかりでした。
●サンドバー
曇りだと綺麗に見えないし、濁って見えます。また5月頃でも寒いです。
●スノーケル
寒かったですが、慣れると楽しかったです。
●食事
ハンバーガー、ポテト、お豆の煮込んだもの、パイナップルとドリンクでした。味はまあまあでした。チョイスしたレモネードは正直あまり美味しくなかったです!海から上がった後のホットドリンクはとても良いサービスだと思いました!
●トイレ 船に二カ所ついていました。
以上です。ありがとうございました。

I participated in this tour seeking snorkeling and beautiful seas.
The shuttle bus is quite cold, so a jacket is a must. Having a Japanese crew made me feel at ease.
First, we had free time at the sandbar. There was optional beach volleyball, and I enjoyed playing volleyball with people from various countries whom I had just met. Those who couldn't join in could just take photos, so there might be some extra time.
During lunchtime, we had cheese burgers made with grilled meat by the crew on the boat (while docked). Enjoying lunch while listening to the crew's casual guitar and singing created a uniquely Hawaiian atmosphere!
I almost got seasick during the sea turtle watching.
For snorkeling, they took care to ensure that even beginners would be fine. They provided plenty of time, and those who were satisfied could wait on the boat. It was quite cold from this point on, so I think having a T-shirt or long sleeves that you don't mind getting wet would be good.
シュノーケリングと綺麗な海を求めて参加しました。
送迎バスはかなり寒いので上着必須です。
日本語クルーが付いてくれ、安心できます。
まずサンドバーでフリータイム。自由参加のビーチバレーがあり、多国籍・初対面の方々とバレーボールを楽しみました。自分から参加できない方は写真を撮るだけなので時間が余りそうです。
ランチタイムは船(停泊中)の上でクルーの焼いたお肉のチーズバーガー。クルーの気ままなギター&歌を聴きながらのランチはハワイならでは!という雰囲気で楽しめます。
海ガメウォッチングが一番船酔いしかけました。
シュノーケリングは、初心者でも大丈夫なように配慮してくれてます。時間はたっぷり取ってくれており、途中で満足した方は船で待機もできます。
ここからが基本寒かったので、濡れても良いTシャツや長袖があると良いと思います。

I had a great time. However, due to the nearby mountains, we encountered unstable weather, and the trade winds were strong, making it too cold after being in the water. On the return bus, I had to wipe my body and lay a wet towel on the seat, and the air conditioning was too strong, making me feel very cold. Even though I couldn't change, I should have brought a towel jacket or socks to keep my ankles warm.
It seems better to check the shallow times before deciding on the sandbar. We encountered a day where the water was about ankle-deep, but the staff mentioned that it’s rare for it to become completely island-like.
As a side note, the staff were cheerful and kindly took photos for us, which was very helpful. I recommend it. Mahalo!
とても楽しめました。
ただ、山が近い事もありお天気が不安定な日に当たってしまい、貿易風も強く海に浸かった後が寒過ぎました。
帰りのバスでは身体を拭いて濡れたタオルを座席に敷いて帰らざるを得ないところに来て、エアコンが効き過ぎ身体が冷えまくりました。
着替えられなくとも、タオル地の上着や足首を温められる様に、靴下などを持ち込むべきでした。
サンドバー自体は、浅い時間を調べてから決めた方が良い様です。
私たちはくるぶし程度の場所もある様な日に当たりましたが、全くの島状態になる事は珍しいのだとスタッフの方も話してられました。
ついでの様になってしまいましたが、スタッフのみなさんもにこやかで、気さくに写真も撮ってくれたり助かりました。

We gathered at Hilton at 6 AM, and they seemed to have picked us up about 10 minutes earlier. When we went, the order of pickups was Prince → Hilton → Sheraton.
After about an hour's drive, we arrived at Waianae Harbor. We were supposed to board a medium-sized boat and head out, but on that day, we were lucky enough to encounter dolphins in the shallows.
As we spotted dolphins in the distance, we hurried to get ready and jumped into the water. For those who can't swim or aren't very comfortable in the ocean, falling from the boat might be a bit scary. Hang in there!
After floating for a while, a pod of dolphins came by at intervals. The sea was very clear that day, and we could see them much more clearly than the last time we saw them. The dolphins would swim away and then come back or get close to us; it was truly a lucky day.
After saying goodbye to the dolphins and getting back on the boat, it was time for turtle snorkeling! Previously, we had seen two turtles of different sizes swimming together, but this time we only saw one medium-sized turtle. Two participants even touched the turtle, which was surprising...
After enjoying about 15 minutes of that, we split into those who would continue with stand-up paddleboarding & boating and those who would continue snorkeling. Since stand-up paddleboarding and boating can also be done at the hotel, we chose to continue snorkeling.
I was a bit disappointed thinking we might only see one turtle today, but after believing and waiting, we ended up seeing about 4 to 5 turtles in turn. I think we snorkeled for about 30 minutes. It was great to have so much time for snorkeling.
When everyone got back on the boat, lunch was served: cheeseburgers, juice, and snacks. The cheeseburgers were regular-sized and tasted average.
After that, we all danced the hula, which turned out to be surprisingly fun. I have participated in dolphin encounters before, but since this included snorkeling and hula dancing, I think I would choose the university program again next time.
ヒルトンは朝6時に集合、10分前には迎えに来ていたみたいです。私達のときはプリンス→ヒルトン→シェラトンの順で送迎でした。
そこから一時間ほど車に乗り、ワイアナエハーバーへ。中型のボートに乗り、沖へ…となる予定でしたが、この日は運良く浅瀬の方でイルカに出会えました。
少し先に見えるイルカを目で追いながら急いで準備をし、海に飛び込みます。
泳げない人や海にあまり慣れていない人は船から海に落ちるのが少し怖いかもしれません。頑張って!
しばらく浮いて待っていると、イルカの群れが数個時間差でやってきました。海がとても透明な日で、以前見たときより数倍はっきり見えました。
イルカが向こうに行ったと思ったらまた帰ってきたり、近くに来てくれたり、本当に運が良かった日でした。
イルカたちを見送って船に上がり、今度はウミガメシュノーケル!以前は大小2匹が一緒に泳いでいたのですが、この日は中くらい1匹を皆で見ました。ツアー参加者で二人、ウミガメに触っている人がいました。びっくり…。。
皆で15分楽しんだあとはスタンダップパドル&ボート組とシュノーケル続行組に別れました。
スタンダップパドルとボートはホテルでもできるので、シュノーケル続行組にしました。
今日はウミガメ1匹かな、と少し残念でしたが、ひたすら信じて待っていたところ、計4~5匹ほど順番に現れてくれました。計30分くらいはシュノーケルしたと思います。時間的にたくさんシュノーケルできて良かったです。
皆が船に上がるとランチのチーズバーガー・ジュース・スナックが出ました。チーズバーガーは普通サイズで味も普通。
そのあとはフラダンスを皆で踊り、これが意外と楽しかったです。
イルカ中学にも参加したことがありますが、シュノーケルの長さとフラダンスがあるので次参加する場合はまた大学の方を選ぶと思います。
ALOHA!! Thank you for participating this time. I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed it. We will continue to improve on the areas where we may not have paid enough attention to our customers and the taste of the cheeseburger, so we appreciate your continued support for Dolphin University and Middle School. We look forward to your next visit. MAHALO!!
ALOHA!! この度はご参加いただきありがとうございました。 お楽しみいただけたようで何よりです。 お客様に注意が十分に行き届いていなかった件やチーズバーガーのお味については今後も精進して参りますので今後ともイルカ大学・中学を宜しくお願い致します。 またのお越しをお待ちしておりますね。 MAHALO!!

Overall, I had an enriching American-style tour experience. As soon as we arrived at the sandbar, we went snorkeling and saw the fish underwater. My husband, who experienced snorkeling for the first time, was thrilled by the colorful fish! After getting down to the sandbar, we played volleyball with a net that was set up. Chasing the ball, passing it, and applauding nice plays created an unexpected sense of camaraderie. The BBQ lunch we had when we got hungry was incredibly delicious. The staff were kind and cheerful, and there were staff members who understood Japanese, which made for a fun and truly memorable experience.
とにかく、アメリカ的で充実したツアーが体験できました。サンドバーに着くなり、シュノーケリングで海中の魚を見ました。色とりどりの魚の姿に、初めてシュノーケリングを体験した夫は大喜び! サンドバーに降りた後、張られたネットでバレーボールをしました。ボールを追いかけてパスしたり、ナイスプレーに拍手したり、思わぬ連帯感を感じました。お腹がすいて食べたBBQランチはすご~い美味しかった~。スタッフが親切で明るくて、日本語が分かるスタッフもいたので、楽しくてすごくいい思い出ができました。

I was worried about waking up early for our second day in Hawaii, but we made it onto the bus without any issues! Since it can be quite physically demanding, I recommend having at least a little breakfast before heading out.
We started snorkeling when we spotted a group of dolphins, but they disappeared quickly, so we returned to the boat and moved to another location. We repeated snorkeling a total of three times where the dolphins were. The kids, who had only interacted with dolphins at places like Sea Life Park, were extremely excited to see them swimming so close by.
After the dolphins, we snorkeled at a spot with honu (sea turtles) and fish. The honu came so close that the kids were thrilled once again. We brought a waterproof camera, so even now, the kids look at the photos of the dolphins and honu and reminisce about the experience. They still cherish the stuffed animals we received.
Swimming against the waves can be tiring, but it was a pleasant fatigue. Watching the sunrise from the ocean and having such wonderful experiences made it all worthwhile.
If I have the chance again, I would love to enroll in college.
ハワイ2日目の朝早くの出発で起きられるのか心配でしたが、無事にバスに乗車!
かなり体力を消耗するので、少しでも朝食を取っていった方が良いと思います。
イルカのグループがいたのでシュノーケリング開始しましたが、あっという間にいなくなりボートへ戻り移動。またイルカがいるところでシュノーケリングを合計3回繰り返しました。すぐ近くをイルカたちが泳ぎ、シーライフパーク等でイルカに触れ合った位しかしたことがない子供たちは大興奮でした。
イルカの後はホヌや魚がいるスポットでシュノーケリング。こちらでもホヌが触れるくらい近くまで来て、またも子供たちは大興奮でした。防水カメラを持参していったので、今でも子供たちはイルカやホヌの写真を見ては思い出に浸っています。いただいたぬいぐるみは今でも大切にしています。
波に逆らって泳いだりして疲れますがそれは心地よい疲労感で、海から朝日を見たり素敵な体験をしたので参加してよかったと思います。
また機会があったら大学へ入学したいと思います。
ALOHA!! Thank you for participating this time. I'm glad to hear that your child enjoyed it. At Dolphin University, you can also experience standing paddleboarding and hula, so please be sure to try those with your child the next time you visit Hawaii. MAHALO!!

The sandbar was not as white as I had imagined, and the water was up to my waist. It seems that this depends on the time of year, and to experience the condition I envisioned, I would need to plan my visit accordingly.
Still, the feeling of walking in the middle of the ocean was quite strange.
After getting wet, it gets pretty cold on the boat, so a change of clothes or something to cover up is essential! (I felt quite cold myself.)
The hamburger I had on the boat was delicious!
サンドバーは、想像していたよりは白くなく、腰上ぐらいまで海水がありました。
これは行く時期に依るらしく、想像する状態を体験するためには、時間時期を決め打ちでいかないと行けないとのことでした。
それでも、海のど真ん中を歩いている感覚は、なんだか不思議でした。
濡れた後、ボートに乗ると結構寒いので、着替えか羽織るものは必須です!(自分は結構寒い思いをしました)

I just want to say that it didn't turn out like the attached photo. I didn't bring a swimsuit this time because I didn't want to wear one. I thought it would be fine to just wear shorts since I was only going to step onto the sand.
But then I heard that the sandy area only appears during new moons or full moons. When I actually went, the beautiful white sand was under the gorgeous blue sea. The water was about knee-deep. However, to get down, I had to wade into the water up to my chest and then walk to that spot, which ended up meaning I had to view it from the boat... Not bringing a swimsuit was a mistake, but I never expected that the time when it looks like the promotional images would only be during a very limited period.
Well, aside from that, the weather was nice, and I got to see a lot of sea turtles, so it was good overall. Yeah, I guess I don't need to make a choice next time.
添付の写真のようにはいかないということだけ言っておきます。
水着になるのが嫌だったので、今回は水着は持って行かなかったわけです。
サンドの上に降り立つだけなので、ハーフパンツでいいかなと。
そしたら、砂地が出るのは新月とか満月とか、そういう時だけっていうじゃないですか。
実際行ってみたら、きれいな白い砂地はキレイなブルーな海の下。
膝の高さくらいまで海があったかな。
ただ、降りる際には一度海に胸くらいまで入って、その場所まで歩いて行かないといけなくて、
結果船から眺めるハメに・・・。
水着を持ってこなかったのも失敗だったんですが、まさかプロモーション画像のような時期は、
ほんの一部の時期だけなんて。
まぁそれを除けば、天気もよかったし、ウミガメもたくさん見れたし、良かったかな。
うん、もう次はチョイスしなくてヨシ。
Thank you very much for participating in the tour. We are delighted to hear that the weather was nice on the day of your visit and that you were able to enjoy watching the sea turtles.
Regarding the water level at the sandbar that you mentioned, as indicated on the tour page, please understand that due to the tides, there may be times when the sand beach is not visible. However, we can imagine that you were disappointed not to see the sandbar with the sand exposed above the water as you had hoped.
Additionally, please note that you will need to move through the water from the boat's docking position to the sandbar, so we kindly ask that you wear a swimsuit in advance.
Thank you very much for your valuable feedback despite your busy schedule.

I wanted to know that it's easier to swim using fins rather than treading water in deeper areas, and that you should get back on the boat facing backward.
The water was about thigh-deep, but I was satisfied to have gone to the sandbar.
朝が早すぎないので申込しました。
海ガメが一瞬しか見れなかったのが残念でした。
サンドバーでのビーチバレーが楽しかったです。
ハンバーガーも美味しかったです。
シュノーケルをしたのが初めてだったので、説明は丁寧にしてもらいたかったです。
深い所では立泳ぎより足ヒレを使って泳いでた方が楽とか船に上がる時は後ろ向きからとか説明して欲しかったです。
太股くらいまで水がありましたが、サンドバーに行けて満足でした。

The explanation was very clear, and I was able to participate enjoyably. It's essential to have wet gear when the weather isn't good, so I was glad that it was provided. I was also moved by the sea turtles, pufferfish, and rays.
とてもわかりやすい説明で楽しく参加できました。天気が良くないときはウェット必須ですね、準備されていたのでよかったです。ウミガメやフグ、エイなど感動もありました。

The pickup was on time, the bus driving was problem-free, and the guide was very entertaining and likable. However, the weather was not great; it was overcast, and the sea water was cold, which was completely different from the blue sky I had imagined, so I was very disappointed. I wonder if it depends on the season? I think it would be helpful if you could include that information as well.
ピックアップは時間通り、バスの運転も問題なく、ガイドさんはとても面白く、好感が持て良かった。
ただ、お天気が今一で、ドンヨリしていて、海の水は冷たくて、想像していた青い空晴れ渡る空のもととは全然違うものだったので、とても残念だった。時期にもよるのかなぁ?と思いますが、その辺も書いて頂けると参考に出来ると思いました。

Two people in their 60s, two in their 30s, an 18-year-old, a 7-year-old, and a 2-year-old participated. The crew and the hamburgers on board were very delicious, which was great, but they mentioned that the sandbar area is close to the mountains and there aren't many sunny days. It was very cold. When getting off the boat to the sandbar, you have to go into the water up to about your waist. My 18-year-old eldest son and my husband had fun participating in the sandbar activities, but they did not join the snorkeling. About half of the participants did not join. Those who did were shivering. If you bring plenty of warm clothing and think about staying warm, you can enjoy it. I thought it would be the same as the sandbars in Okinawa, so I only prepared for heatstroke. It was the complete opposite.
60代2人30代2人18歳7歳2歳で参加。乗務員さんや、船上のハンバーガーはとっても美味しくて良かったですが、サンドバー付近は、山間の近くにあって、なかなか晴れる日がないとの事。とっても寒いです。船からサンドバーに降りるときは、へそ下ぐらいまで海に入らないとだめです。18歳の長男と旦那は楽しく、サンドバーバレーに参加してましたが、シュノーケリングは,不参加。半分ぐらいの方不参加でした。入った人は、がくがく震えてました。着替えなどたくさん持って防寒を考えていくと入れます。私は、沖縄のサンドバーと同じだと思っていたので、熱中症対策ばかりで。真逆でした。

Honestly, I feel a strong sense of disappointment. We moved from the meeting point to the office and watched an explanatory video. Up to that point, everything was fine, but after that, we waited about an hour for the boat to go out to sea. There was no explanation, and we just waited. Finally, when the boat arrived and we thought we were going out to sea, we just boarded another boat that had already gone out. On that boat, there was still no explanation, and we were made to wait for over an hour… and in the end, I got seasick. I ended up experiencing the underwater scooter while not feeling well.
By the way, there were about ten Japanese people on board with us, and almost everyone was struggling with seasickness; they all looked very uncomfortable. I definitely recommend that anyone participating in the future take measures against seasickness!
正直、残念という想いが強いです。
集合場所からオフィスまで移動し説明ビデオを観賞。ここまでは良かったのですが、その後は海にでる船を待つこと約1時間。なんの説明もなく、ただただ待つだけ。やっと船が来て海に出たと思ったら、先に海に出ていた船へ乗船するだけ。その船でもまったく説明がないまま、さらに1時間以上待たされ…あげくのはてに船酔い。体調が優れないまま水中スクーターを体験するという結果になりました。
ちなみに一緒に乗船していた中に日本の方が10名ほどおりましたが、ほぼ全員の方が船酔いとの闘いで、皆さんもとて辛そうでした。
ぜひ今後、参加される方は必ず船酔い対策をし参加されることをおすすめします‼

This is my second time participating.
The contrast between the sky, the sea, and the surrounding scenery is beautiful.
I was able to see many sea turtles as well.
2回目の参加です。
とにかく、空と海と周囲の景色とのコントラストが綺麗です。
ウミガメとも沢山会えました。

of all my snorkelling experiences in Hawaii over the past 5 years,
I would say this was the best to date. Turtles are surrounding you
And actually come up from underneath you so you have to kick
Away so as not to invade their space. Crew was very informative and friendly.
Chose the 9 am option so as to have lunch buffet after a morning of snorkelling.

Dan's guided tour of the Hanauma reef is excellent. We viewed Fish, turtles, rays, and coral. Regardless of your ability, you will feel safe. This is nature's beauty at it's best and your guide will make sure you see it all.
Hi Mark, glad you guys enjoyed. It was a beautiful day. Hope we see you again, Dan.

We went on our honeymoon, and it became a very enjoyable memory. The captain kept the atmosphere lively throughout the shuttle bus ride, and we had a great time playing volleyball in the shallow waters and enjoying handmade hamburgers from the crew.
Snorkeling at the coral reef allowed us to swim closely with sea turtles and interact with colorful fish.
However, the weather was bad that day, and the strong winds made it quite cold, which was disappointing as we couldn't see many sea turtles.
If I have the chance to go to Hawaii again, I definitely want to go back!
新婚旅行で行ったのですが、とても楽しい思い出になりました。
送迎バスよりキャプテンが終始盛り上げてくれ、浅瀬でのバレーボールやクルーの方の手作りハンバーガーなど、楽しいひとときを過ごさせていただきました。
珊瑚礁でのシュノーケリングは、ウミガメと間近で泳げたり、色とりどりの魚達と触れ合うことができました。
ただ、当日の天気が悪く風も強かったため、ウミガメがあまり見れず、何よりも寒かったのが残念でした…。
またハワイに行く機会があったら、是非もう一度行きたいです!

I was a bit worried because there were reviews saying the meeting place was hard to find, but it was right there as soon as I went down the east corridor of Outrigger Reef Waikiki Beach Resort towards the beach. Once we reached the point in the ocean, we put on life jackets and snorkels and went underwater. We saw many black fish, and occasionally some white and colorful fish, and I was even able to see a sea turtle come up for air. Although there were no fins, I had a great time.
After everyone caught their breath, we went sailing. The weather was nice, the wind felt good, and the view was great. Snacks and drinks were provided. My wife had a bit of a tough time with seasickness, so it might be a good idea for those who are prone to motion sickness to take some medication beforehand.
集合場所がわかりにくいという口コミがあったので少し不安でしたが、Outrigger Reef Waikiki Beach Resortの東側の通路を海に向かっていってビーチに出たところにすぐありました。沖に出てポイントに着いたらライフジャケットとシュノーケルをつけて海中へ。たくさんの黒い魚と、ときどき白やカラフルな魚が見え、また一度ウミガメが息継ぎに上がってきたのを見ることができました。フィンはありませんでしたが、十分楽しめました。
みんなが一息ついたらセーリング。天気もよく風も気持ちよく、眺めもよかったです。スナックやドリンクが出ました。妻は船酔いで少し大変でしたので、酔いやすい人は酔い止めを飲むなどの対策をした方がよいかもしれません。
