The weather was just bad and cloudy, but I played while taking pictures up to my shins, and it was my first time snorkeling, but I was able to swim with the fish and it was quite fun.
ちょうど天気が悪くて、曇りでしたが、膝下くらいまでのところでは、写真をとったりしながら遊び、シュノーケルも初めてでしたが、魚と泳ぐことができてまぁまぁ楽しかったです。

Hanauma Bay is where you want to begin your snorkeling experience in Oahu. Chieko and her husband were thorough, patient, kind and professional in all aspects of this snorkel tour at Hanauma Bay. The coral has lost some its color vibrancy from the daily influx of people swimming there but the fish were plentiful and made up for the moderate deficiency. I enjoyed it enough here to come again a second time, solo. Again, great tour guides and best place to begin your snorkel adventure. Enjoy!

There are various sandbar tours, but it seems this cruiser is the most wonderful one after seeing different boats at the port. It's decided!
Also, the staff were all very fun and lovely. The best.
It's challenging, but definitely check the tides!
Let's have a hamburger lunch, not just in the morning! It's delicious.
Even if it's cold, definitely try snorkeling!
I recommend asking the female staff to take photos. They will have you pose in various ways, but they take beautiful pictures! It's a bit embarrassing, though.
Anyway, I highly recommend this tour!
サンドバーツアーは色々ありますが、港で色々船を見ると、どうやらこのクルーザーが一番素敵みたいです。決まり!
また、スタッフがみんなとても楽しく、素敵でした。最高。
難しいけど、絶対に潮の満ち引きを確認しましょう!
午前中だけでなく、ハンバーガーランチを食べましょう!美味しいです。
寒くても、シュノーケルリングはトライしてネ〜
スタッフの女性に写真頼むのがオススメです。色々ポーズ取らされますが〜綺麗に撮影してくれますよ!恥ずかしいけどね〜
とにかくオススメツアーですした。

The weather was great, and the sea was really beautiful (^^)♪ Since it was a morning trip, we arrived at the sandbar just in time for low tide, and in some places, the seawater had completely receded. During snorkeling, a sea turtle came up to the surface for air right in front of me, and I was able to swim a little with it! We had plenty of time, so even though we were running late, we weren't rushed at all and could swim leisurely and enjoy ourselves. However, the sandbar had rocky areas that were quite painful, so it would have been nice to have rental reef shoes. *It's hard to justify buying them just for this (^^;
天気にもめぐまれ海が本当にきれいでした(^^)♪
午前の便だったのでサンドバーではちょうど干潮の時間にあたり
場所によっては完全に海水が引いていました
シュノーケリングもちょうど海ガメが息継ぎに水面まで上がってきてくれて
目の前で見れ少しですが一緒に泳ぐこともできました!
時間も余裕をもってとってあるのか遅くなっても全然せかされることなく
のんびり泳ぐことができ楽しむことができました
ただサンドバーは下が岩でゴツゴツしていて痛いところも多かったので
リーフシューズのレンタルがあるとよかったです
※これのためだけになかなか自分では購入できないので(^^;
Aloha!
Thank you for participating in the Captain Bruce's Paradise of the Seas tour the other day.
I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed the tour.
Thank you for sharing such beautiful photos.
I appreciate your feedback regarding the reef shoes.
Since the sandbar has fine coral that often feels fine on bare feet, we currently only sell reef shoes, but we will keep your input in mind for the future.

At 58 years old, I experienced snorkeling for the first time. I put on a wetsuit over my swimsuit, wore a life jacket, added fins, and attached the snorkel for mouth breathing. Everything was new to me, and then I dove into the sea. The blue sky, the blue ocean, and the crystal-clear water stretched as far as I could see, and there I was with dolphins. Not just a few, but dozens of them were swimming around me, right below and beside me, so close I could almost reach out and touch them. I was unbelievably excited and moved. I also made friends with the other participants, and we all had a great time together, laughing and enjoying ourselves on this wonderful tour. I participated with my husband and sister, and even though my sister visits Hawaii more than twice a year, it was her first time seeing dolphins, and she was thrilled to have such a precious experience. She was so moved that at 65, she was wearing a swimsuit and jumping into the ocean. I felt the same way; it was refreshing and incredibly healing. The blue ocean of Hawaii, the school of dolphins, the smiles of the participants, Julie's bright and fun personality, the photographer swimming like a mermaid, and the captain in a red T-shirt who suited the role perfectly—all the cheerful and fun staff made it the best memory of Hawaii. The dolphin experience was the highlight. I definitely want to participate again. Thank you to all the staff. I gained the energy to tackle work and house chores after returning to Japan. I want to brag to my friends about this. It’s a lifelong memory.
私 58才にして、初めてシュノーケリングを体験しました。水着の上にウエットスーツ、ライフジャケットを付け、足ヒレも付け、シュノーケルを付け口呼吸 すべてが初めての事で、いざ海にダイブ。青い空、青い海、どこまでも見渡せる透明度の海、その中に私とイルカがいました。何頭ではなく何十頭も泳いでいて、私の泳いでいるすぐ下にも、横にもイルカが、すぐ手の届く所にいるなんて、信じられないくらい興奮し感動しました。一緒に参加した人達とも仲良くなれて、みんなでワイワイ、ガヤガヤ、ノリノリでとても楽しいツアーでした。私は夫と姉と三人で参加しましたが、姉は年に2回以上はハワイに来てるのに、イルカを見に行ったのは初めてと、貴重な体験をしたと、とても喜んでいました。まさか65才になって水着を着て、海に飛び込むとはと、すっごく感動してました。私も同じ気持ちで、心が洗われ、とても癒されました。ハワイの青い海、イルカの群れ、参加した人達の笑顔、ジュリさんの明るく楽しいキャラ、カメラマンさんの人魚みたいに泳ぐ姿、赤Tシャツがよく似合うキャプテン、みなさん陽気で楽しいスタッフに恵まれ、最高に楽しいハワイの思い出となりました。イルカ中学最高でした。又ぜひ参加したいと思います。スタッフのみなさんありがとうございました。また日本に帰ってからの仕事、家事、頑張れる元気もらいました。友達に自慢したいと思います。一生の思い出です。
Thank you for participating this time. I hope your first snorkeling experience remains a wonderful memory for you. Please come again! Mahalo!
この度はご参加頂きありがとうございました。初めてのシュノーケリングが良い思い出としてずっと残ってもらえたら何よりです。是非またお越し下さいね。Mahalo!

The underwater scooter was really great! They made an effort to gather fish by scattering food just before we went in, and they took pictures of us as a couple, which I think will create really fun memories (^^)♪ However, other aspects were lacking...
First, most of the staff didn't speak Japanese, so even when I wanted to confirm something, it was difficult to communicate. Also, I wasn't offered any light snacks, and I ended up not knowing where they were located. The explanation for the stand-up paddleboarding was just "You paddle while standing," and then we were left to figure it out on our own. It seems that aside from the underwater scooter, everything else was treated as just a way to pass the time. Considering that, I think it's an expensive option.
Also, it was very bumpy, so motion sickness medication is definitely necessary! I was confident that I wouldn't get seasick, but I experienced seasickness for the first time in my life (^^;
水中スクーターは本当によかったです!
直前にエサをまくなど魚を集める工夫をしてくれたりカップルだと
並んで写真を撮ってくれたり本当に楽しい思い出になると思います(^^)♪
ですがそれ以外が・・・
まずスタッフがほとんど日本語が通じなく確認したいことがあっても
なかなか通じなく困りました
あと軽食などいっさいすすめられることなく結局どこにあったも分からずじまいで
スタンドアップパドルボートも「立って漕ぐんだよ」ぐらいの説明であとは放置でした
結局水中スクーター以外は時間つぶしのおまけ的な扱いなのでしょう
そう考えると高いオプションだと思います
あとすごく揺れるので酔い止めは絶対必要です!!
絶対に酔わない自信があったのですが人生で初船酔いを体験しました(^^;

There were two groups participating, including a Filipino family who came from the mainland United States. I brought my mother along, but all the participants were quite good swimmers, so the guide, sensing this, took us out further than expected. Thanks to that, we were able to see turtles and a variety of colorful, rare fish, which made us very satisfied. I recommend the morning tour as the sea is clearer then.
アメリカ本土から来られたフィリピン人家族とで2組参加でした。
私は母を連れてだったのですが、参加者全員かなり泳げる方だったので、それを察知したガイドさんが、思いの外沖の方まで連れてくださいました。

One of the activities I absolutely wanted to experience on my trip to Hawaii was dolphin swimming. Since I chose the early morning plan, the meeting time was before 6 AM! I booked it for the latter part of the trip when the effects of jet lag were less, and going to bed early the night before seemed to pay off, as my husband and I, who are usually not morning people, managed to wake up properly. (Maybe we woke up because we were so excited?)
A large bus came to pick us up, and despite the early hour, the staff greeted us cheerfully. After the English explanation on the bus, they kindly provided a detailed explanation in Japanese, which was reassuring.
There were about 20 people that day, roughly half of the maximum of 40. Upon arriving at the port, we were finally ready to set sail! Unfortunately, it seemed there were no dolphins at the first point we headed to, so we had to move to a different location. As a result, the travel time by boat was longer than usual, which meant our snorkeling time was shorter.
When we arrived at the next point, we finally dove into the sea! After swimming for a while, when we turned to the staff's signal… there were so many dolphins!! We could clearly see them swimming right beneath us. We also saw many dolphins during our second dive.
Although the snorkeling time was indeed a bit shorter, we were able to enjoy seeing fish and sea turtles. The boat ride took longer, but it seemed that no one got seasick, and during the travel time, the staff shared various stories and even performed hula, which kept us entertained throughout the tour.
On the way back, I think all the participants were fast asleep! It was just what we needed to recharge a bit.
ハワイ旅行で絶対に体験したいアクティビティのひとつがドルフィンスイムでした。
朝イチのプランを選択したため、集合時間は6時前!時差ボケの影響が少ない旅の後半の日程に予約して、前日早めに寝たのが功を奏したのか、朝は比較的弱い夫婦ですがきちんと起きることができました。(楽しみだったから否応なしに目が覚めたのかも?)
大きなバスのお迎えが来て、早朝にもかかわらずスタッフの方も明るく出迎えていただきました。バスの中で英語での説明が終わった後日本語でも丁寧に説明してくださり、安心でした。
この日は20人ほどで、MAX40人の約半分。
港に到着し、いよいよ出港!最初に向かったポイントでは残念ながらイルカがいなかったようで、急遽違うポイントへ移動することに。そのため普段よりもボートでの移動時間が長くなり、その分シュノーケルの時間が短くなってしまいますと説明がありました。
次のポイントに到着し、ようやく海へダイブ!しばらく泳いでスタッフの方の合図でそちらのほうを向くと…たくさんのイルカが!!自分たちの下を横切っていくのがばっちり見えました。
2回目のダイブでも、たくさんのイルカが見れました。
その後のシュノーケル時間はやはり少し短かったようですが、魚やウミガメも見れて楽しめました。
ボートでの移動時間は長くなりましたが、船酔いするような人はいなかったようですし、移動の間もいろいろなお話をしてくださったり、フラを披露していただいたりと、ツアー中ずっと飽きずに楽しむことができてよかったです。
帰りのバスはたぶん参加者全員爆睡!ちょうど少し疲れもとることができよかったです。

SANDBAR: The sandbar was a surreal experience. It was beautiful to be finally here, but like the beautiful breasts of Italian marble, there is not much one can do with the simplicity of this place, except enjoy the view. I have never been so satisfied with so little to do, but so much to visually feel.
SNORKEL: Nice experience. More fish to see than Kailua Beach area, but less fish than Hanauma Bay.
BOAT and RIDE: Nice vessel. Clean. A little crowded, but I enjoyed the variety of different cultures, their languages and behavior.
Tour Staff: They were friendly, experienced, and kept us safe.

Fantastic place to swim, snorkel and meet the locals. If you do not have your own snorkel equipment, need a ride to and from this area and a good lunch, then this is a decent deal. However, I had my own equipment and in hindsight I wished I had rented a car (same cost) for travel to Kailua Beach. The beach is free, could have stayed till sunset (instead of 2:30 pm), explore the nightlife, and dined here instead of my expensive tourist trap in Waikiki. Learn from my experience, but come here for a great beach experience.
Thank you for your feedback! We are glad you enjoyed the beach and the great snorkeling opportunity!

First of all, I would like to thank all the staff who took care of us!
On the day of the event, the weather was nice, the waves were calm, and the breeze on the boat was pleasant.
I was able to see the honu (sea turtles) coming up for air multiple times, which was enjoyable in itself.
When the sun went down, it felt a bit chilly in the water, so it was a good decision to borrow a wetsuit.
In the morning bus, our guide Julie cheerfully shared important information and details about Oahu, and what stood out to me was that dolphins have developed ultrasonic communication to convey their feelings.
When we arrived at the spot where the dolphins were, we entered the water and saw the dolphins in the distance!
We moved towards the direction of the dolphins with the other participants, but I was lagging behind and felt like crying inside, wanting to swim with the dolphins!! Just then, dolphins started coming towards us from behind!
I was truly moved to be so close that I thought I might touch them!
After that, dolphins swam slowly towards us from all directions, and later I heard there were about 70 of them.
I heard their squeaky sounds multiple times, and their spinning and belly-up courtship poses were absolutely adorable.
Since they are wild animals, I thought I would be happy just to see a few from a distance, so I was beyond happy.
For those who are not confident swimmers, there were floatation devices available for rent, and those who used them were able to move ahead without any issues.
The photos I posted were taken with my inexpensive underwater camera, but the professional photographer took even more beautiful shots, including some from deeper dives, so I think those who bring their own cameras will be satisfied with their purchases.
If you have the opportunity, making a video would be interesting as you can listen to the squeaky sounds and the clicking sounds, which are ultrasonic and hard for humans to hear.
Lastly, I want to thank Julie for the heartfelt send-off, as well as the powerful and warm captain, the cheerful photographer, and all the staff!
I definitely want to participate again!
まずお世話になったスタッフの皆さん、どうもありがとうございました!
参加当日は天気が良く波も穏やかで船上での風も心地よかったです。
何度も息継ぎをするホヌを見掛ける事が出来、それだけでも楽しかったです。
陽が陰ると海の中では肌寒く感じたのでウエットスーツを借りて正解でした。
朝のバス内ではガイドのジュリさんが明るく注意事項やオアフ島の事など教えて下さり中でも印象的だったのがイルカは超音波が発達していて気持ちが伝わるとの事でした。
いざイルカのいる地点に到着し海に入ると遠くからイルカ達が…!
参加者の方々とイルカのいる方向へ進んで行くのですが思う様に進めず一人どんどん遅れてしまい半泣き状態でイルカさん達と泳ぎたいよー!!と心の中で叫んでいたら私の後ろの方からもイルカ達がこちらに向かって水面へ近付いてきてくれました(;_;)
触れてしまうのではないかと思う位の距離に本当に感動しました!
その後も四方八方からイルカ達がゆっくり泳いできてくれて後で聞くと70頭位だったそうです。
キューキューと鳴く声が何度も聞こえ、ぐるぐるスピンする姿やお腹を真上に泳ぐ求愛ポーズなど本当に愛らしいです。
自然の生き物なので、せめて何匹か遠目でも見る事が出来ればなぁと思っていたので言葉に出来ない位に幸せでした。
泳ぎが苦手な方は浮き具の貸し出しもあり利用されていた方はどんどん先に進んでらしたので問題ないと思います。
投稿写真は私の安い水中カメラで撮ったものですが当日カメラマンさんが撮ってくれている写真はもっと綺麗で深く潜った所からのショットもありカメラ持参の方が購入しても満足出来ると思います。
余裕があればムービーにするとキューキューと鳴く声や後で調べた所、人には聞こえ辛いカタカタッとしたクリック音と言う別の超音波も後で聞き直せるので面白いと思います。
最後にお別れの時まで心のこもったお見送りをして下さったジュリさんを始めパワフルであったかいキャプテン、明るくフォローして下さったカメラマンさんやスタッフの皆さんありがとうございました!
是非また参加したいです!

I understand that the weather can be unpredictable, so I'll write this with that in mind. Please keep that in consideration as you read.
At the sea turtle observation point, we were guided with a typical foreigner’s vibe. You can take it as fun or annoying.
At the sandbar location, we were dropped off in water that reached our waists, and we had to walk through water that came up to our ankles. It was very cold since the sun wasn't out. In the distance, there were other tours, and I could see the sandbar that I really wanted to see. I thought, why not just go there? But I suspect there are territorial boundaries in place. However, for us participants who paid a lot of money and have limited time, that doesn’t matter. If the sandbar was visible, I wish they had mentioned it.
From start to finish, it felt like a tour that was just taking advantage of Japanese people. That said, this might be something that can be said globally...
天候に左右されるのは承知の上で書きます。
読者側もそれを踏まえてお読み下さい。
ウミガメ観測地点では、適当な外人特有のノリで誘導されます。面白いととるか、ウザいととるか。
サンドバー地点では、今回は水面が腰まであるところで降ろされ、水面がくるぶしのところまで歩かされました。
太陽が出てなかったので非常に寒かったです。
遠方には違うツアーなのか、いかにも見たかったサンドバーが散見されました。
それならばそこまで行けば良いのでは?と思うのですが、おそらく縄張りがあるのではと思います。
しかし、高いお金を払って滞在時間が限られている我々参加者にとっては、そんなの知ったことではありません。
サンドバーが見えているのであれば言ってほしかったです。
最初から最後まで、日本人をカモにしているとしか思えないツアーでした。
とは言いつつ、これは世界的に言えることかもしれませんが。。
Thank you very much for participating in our tour. However, we sincerely apologize for not being able to provide a service that meets your expectations.
Hawaii is warm throughout the year, but we understand that on the day of your tour, the sun was not out, which may have made the water feel cold and caused some participants to feel chilly. We hope you understand that we strive to bring the tour as close as possible to the best locations by boat, with the intention of ensuring everyone enjoys the experience.
Regarding the sandbar, please note that the location where boats can dock is determined by the tour company, and the water levels change daily, which can affect visibility. We appreciate your understanding in this matter.

Captain and deckie worked tirelessly to ensure that every opportunity to catch fish was taken. The instructions given on how to handle the equipment were excellent for novices such as our group. Using local knowledge the captain located good sized fish and each landing was greeted with great enthusiasm but at the same time professionalism and efficiency. As a group we dispensed with the normal method of chance selection as to who would take each strike (the captain drawing a card) and so everyone had an equal share of the catch.

It was cold after getting out of the water from snorkeling, so it was a good decision to bring a change of clothes. Those who got on the bus in their swimsuits looked quite cold. On the boat, they also served warm drinks.
ランチ付きプランに参加しました。サンドバーではガイドの方がバレーを始めてくれたので、他の方とも楽しく過ごせました。シュノーケルは海から上がってからが寒かったので、着替えを持って行って正解でした。水着のままバスに乗られていた方たちはかなり寒そうでした。船では温かい飲み物も出してくれました。

Great snorkeling tour with Dan and Chieko. The four of us were snorkeling novices and senior citizens and they were extremely patient and hands on. We saw some beautiful fish and reef and had a great time.
Hi guys, everyone did great today. Make sure you scrub the new mask with tooth paste. Hope to see you again.

Snorkeling is definitely better at the front! If you want to see the clear, beautiful sea, you absolutely have to go at the front because the back is murky!
シュノーケリングは先発が絶対とく‼︎
後方は水が濁ってしまってるから澄んだ綺麗な海をみたいなら絶対先発‼︎‼︎

The bus on the way there was so cold that I was freezing (~_~;) It made my stomach hurt... The return trip was a bit better, but the ride there was really too cold and it was terrible.
行きのバスの中が寒くて凍えてた(~_~;)お腹痛くなるやつ…帰りはまだマシやったけど行きは本当に寒すぎてやばかった

The weather wasn't very good in the morning... it was cold (~_~;) But I was glad I could see a beautiful rainbow‼︎ A wrap is definitely a must-have.
朝から天気があまり良くなかったから…寒かった(~_~;)でも、虹も綺麗にみれたからよかった‼︎やっぱり羽織るものは必需品です。

I was worried I wouldn't be able to see them, but I saw sea turtles! They swam close by for a long time, so I was really satisfied with how many I got to see.
見れるか不安やったけど、海ガメ見れたよー‼︎
ずっと近くに泳いでたからたくさん見ること出来て満足やった。

Smoking on the sea is the best! (laughs)
Huh? Is it okay to smoke here? (laughs) But since it was allowed, I did it proudly! (≧∇≦)
海の上でのタバコサイコー(笑)
え?ここは吸っていーの?(笑)と思いながら…
でもが出たので堂々と(≧∇≦)

I returned wearing my swimsuit with a towel draped over me, but I got really cold on the bus. There are no lockers or changing rooms, so it's better to bring extra towels. They were disposing of leftover snacks during the light meal. I wish they had waited until the participants got off. The water level was about knee-deep. It seems the sandbar is around October 10, so those who got to experience it are lucky. The staff were great at getting everyone excited, and there were no issues with their service. Swimming in a line while snorkeling with a large group is challenging, but I saw a lot of cute little fish!
帰りは水着のままタオルを羽織って帰りましたがバスの中で冷えきります。ロッカー、更衣室はありませんので、多目にタオル持っていった方が。 軽食中に余っていたものを処分していました。参加者がおりてからにしてほしかったです。 水位はひざ下位でした。砂洲は10/月位らしいので、当たった方は羨ましです。 スタッフさんは盛り上げてくれたり、対応は問題ありません。シュノーケリング縦に並んで大勢で泳ぐのは大変ですが小さな魚がたくさん見れて可愛かったですよ!!

Hi Mel, glad you enjoyed. If you come back in winter maybe we can go way outside the reef and find some really good coral. Thanks, Dan and Chieko.
