To start our day, we were greeted timely & warmly. The driver gave us a lot of information on the way to Kailua. The staff was all very attentive & pleasant. Everything was easily accessible to make our day full of as many activities as we decided to do. They had chairs, snorkel equipment, lockers, bikes, & many other item. Also all our questions were answered. We started the day deciding to take bikes to Lanikai Beach. Wow was that beautiful beach!!!! This trip also included lunch which you have a choice of 3 places. When you see locals eating at a place you know its good!!!! After lunch we walked to Kailua Beach and saw amazing parasurfing? This trip could be for people with all ranges of adventure or athletic ability. You have many choices of what YOU want to participate in at whatever level you are comfortable, there is no one pressuring you to do what you don't want to do! We were very happy with our experience & can't wait to come back!
We would highly recommend this trip!
Thank you!!!

This was my first experience in the ocean and snorkelling and sailing. The crew was excellent. Professional, knowledgeable, and very fun. Felt very safe and comfortable at all times. Saw multiple sea turtles, tropical fish, an octopus, sea urchins, and an amazing view of diamond head and Waikiki beach. You won't regret it.

Since we came all the way to Hawaii, my daughter (6 years old) and I participated in the activity together. To be honest, my daughter was a bit scared of the ocean and was feeling anxious, but thanks to the kind and attentive staff, we were able to fully enjoy the experience. By the end, she had completely warmed up to it.
Turtles appeared multiple times, coming right up close to the boat and poking their heads out. Even small children could see them with the naked eye. We were even lucky enough to see a manta ray, which made my daughter very excited! At the sandbar, the water was waist-deep when moving from the boat, which was a bit deep and made her scared, but we were able to see crabs and fish, and by the end, she was practicing putting her face in the water with a snorkel on.
When we got back a little early, the staff happened to be feeding the fish, and my daughter got to participate, which was a great experience for her.
Just a note for those bringing small children... The air conditioning on the bus is quite strong both going and returning. Especially on the way back, since there’s no place to change, depending on the age, I think it’s better to have them change quickly. For the trip there, I had my daughter wear a dress over her swimsuit, but just in case, I brought an extra set of underwear, so on the way back, I had her change out of her swimsuit and wear the dress with her underwear. I also wrapped her in a larger towel that I brought as a blanket. As expected, she fell into a deep sleep, so I was relieved that I didn’t have to worry about her catching a cold!
せっかくハワイに来たのだから、と娘(6歳)と二人で参加しました。実を言うと、海が少し怖い娘は、内心ビクビクしていましたが、現地のスタッフの方々の優しく、細やかなお心づかいのおかげで満喫できました。最後はすっかりなついていました。
カメは何度も姿を現し、船のすぐ近くまできて頭をだしてくれます。小さなか子でも肉眼で確認できました。珍しくマンタまで見れて娘はおおはしゃぎ!サンドバーでは船から移動するときは水深が腰まであり、少し深いので怖がりましたが、蟹や魚も見れて、最後にはシュノーケルをつけて顔を海につける練習までしていました。
少し早めにあがると、たまたまスタッフの方が魚に餌付けしており、娘もさせていただき、よい経験になりました。
ひとつだけ小さなお子さんをお連れの方へ…行も帰りもバスの冷房はしっかりかかっております。特に帰りは着替える場所がないので、年齢にもよりますが、ぱっと着替えさせてあげたほうがいいと思います。娘には行きはワンピース+水着の恰好でいかせましたが、念のため、と下着をもっていったので、帰りは水着をぬがし、ワンピース+下着で帰らせました。そして1枚多めにもっていった大きめのバスタオルを毛布がわりに包み込みました。案の定、爆睡したので風邪をひく心配をひとつ削れましたよ~~

This is definitely an activity you must do when staying in Hawaii for the first time. If you don't go, you'll be missing out. Unfortunately, I experienced bad weather partway through, but the guide was very friendly, and it turned out to be a wonderful experience. I highly recommend everyone to go!

I've been diving all over the world for the past 15 years and this is by far one of my favorites. Beautiful water with greater than 50 feet of visibility. Saw seven sea turtles up close and it was just a spectacular experience. Make sure to rent the fins from the beach, worth it. Crew was knowledgeable, friendly and just all around awesome. So was the house special drink. This is a not to missed experience with a company that makes it unforgettable. They will absolutely see me again.

This time, we went to Hawaii for our honeymoon. Every time I've come to Hawaii, I've always visited Kailua Beach. Last time, I booked a different tour, but they didn't pick us up on time, and we had to wait for over 30 minutes (it might have been due to traffic), so I chose this tour! The pickup was right on time☆
Once we arrived at the beach, a Japanese staff member explained everything, so there was no need to worry. Bodyboards, snorkeling sets, and mats are available for free♪ We wanted to visit Kailua town and Lanikai Beach, so we rented a bicycle for $10! Having a bicycle made it convenient to go to Kailua town and Lanikai Beach (they provided a map and explained how to get there).
At the facility, there are showers (only water), changing rooms, and lockers with keys, so we could leave our belongings safely.
For lunch, we were given tickets to choose between pizza or a plate lunch! We chose pizza, and I was surprised that one slice was a quarter of a whole pizza! It was also very spicy and delicious! Drinks were included.
When we arrived at the beach, it was cloudy, but it cleared up quickly! The ocean was very beautiful! My husband was visiting Kailua for the first time and was very happy, snorkeling by himself the whole time! He said he saw colorful fish!
In town, there were many cute shops! I thought about going to the famous Boots & Kimo's, but there was a long line. A Japanese staff member recommended that instead of eating there, we should do takeout, so we opted for takeout. Since we had limited time, I think choosing takeout was the right decision! The pancakes were very delicious, and we were very satisfied☆
I definitely want to participate again the next time I go to Hawaii!!
今回は新婚旅行でハワイに行きました。いままでハワイに来たときには必ずカイルアビーチに行っています。前回は別のツアーを予約し参加しましたが、時間どうりに迎えが来なく、30分以上待たされたことがあるため(交通状況などによるかも知れませんが)、こちらのツアー参加しました!お迎えは時間ぴったりに迎えにきてくれました☆
ビーチについてからは、日本人スタッフさんがすべて説明してくれるので心配無用です。ボディボード、シュノーケルセット、ゴザが無料で借りれます♪私たちはカイルアの町やラニカイビーチにも行きたかったので、1台$10で自転車を借りました!自転車があると、カイルアの町や、ラニカイビーチ(地図をくれて、行き方などもすべて教えてくれます)などに行くのにも便利でした!また施設内には、シャワー(水のみ)、更衣室、鍵付きのロッカーがあり、荷物なども安心して置いていけます。
お昼はチケットを渡され、ピザかプレートランチを選ぶことができます!私たちはピザにしましたが、1ピースが1ホールの1/4の大きさでびっくり!そして、とってもスパイシーでおいしかったです!ドリンクもついてきます。
ビーチ到着時は曇っていましたが、すぐに晴れました!海もとってもきれいです!旦那さんは初めてのカイルアでしたが、とっても喜んでいて1人でひたすらシュノーケルをしていました!笑 カラフルな魚も見れたとのことでした!
町では、かわいいお店がたくさんありました!またあの有名なブーツ&キモズに行こうと思いましたが、長蛇の列。日本スタッフさんにお店で食べるのではなく、テイクアウトにするのをおすすめされたので、テイクアウトにしました。時間が限られていたので、テイクアウトにして間違いなかったとおもいます!パンケーキはとっても美味しかったので大満足です☆
またハワイに行くときには、是非参加したいと思います!!

We went to Hawaii for our honeymoon for the first time! On the first day, we shopped in downtown Hawaii, and on the morning of the second day, we had a snorkeling experience at Kailua Beach.
The weather was great! The sea was so beautiful! While beaches like Honolulu Beach are crowded, the natural beaches have a different charm. In mid-February, it's nice to spend time at the beach, but the water is a bit cold! (It's not impossible to go in.)
We enjoyed some bodyboarding, but since it was a windy day, we got out of the water early and had an early lunch. Since lunch was included, we had pizza. One slice of American-sized pizza each! It was very delicious, and we were full.
After that, we still had some time before our return, so we rented bicycles and headed towards Kailua town. It takes about 10 to 15 minutes by bike. (Bicycles are an additional charge for this plan.)
There are many surf-style select shops, and plenty of stores with Hawaiian clothing and accessories. There are also shopping malls and large supermarkets, and the layout is completely different from Japan, making it fun just to walk around. Although there was a sudden rain while shopping, it usually stops quickly in Hawaii, and it cleared up while we were shopping.
On the way there and back, we enjoyed the views of Hawaiian homes and nature from the bike, making it a great experience!
今回初めて新婚旅行でハワイに行ってきました!1日目はハワイの中心街で買い物をし、2日目の朝からカイルアビーチでのシュノーケリング体験へ。
天気は良好❗海がとってもキレイー✨✨✨✨ホノルルビーチなど人が多いビーチでも充分キレイですが、やはり自然の中のビーチは一味ちがいます☺☀☀2月中旬でビーチで過ごすにはいいのですが、海に入るのは少し寒いです!(入れなくはないです)
少しボディボードを楽しんで、風も強い日だったので早めに海を上がり、早めのお昼。
選べるlunch付なので私たちはピザを食べました。アメリカンサイズのピザを1ピースずつ!とってもおいしく、お腹いっぱいになりました
その後は帰りの時間までまだ時間があったので、自転車を借りてカイルアの街のほうへヽ( ̄▽ ̄)ノ自転車で約10分~15分ぐらいでいけます。(このプランだと自転車は別料金)
サーフ系のセレクトショップが多く、ハワイらしい服や小物のお店が多くありますショッピングモールや大きいスーパーもあり、日本とか作りが全然違うので、入るだけで楽しいショッピング中、急な雨もありましたが、ハワイの雨は、だいたいすぐ止むので買い物している間に上がっていました
行き帰りはハワイの民家や自然を通るので自転車からの眺めも楽しみながら行けて、いい体験でした♥\(^^)/

I was looking forward to the sandbar, but the weather was cloudy and there was strong wind, making the sea very cold. It would be a good idea to bring extra beach towels for when you come out of the water. There were many participants, and we could choose between a boat with only Japanese people or a mixed boat with foreigners! We chose to ride with the foreigners, so we were able to enjoy English conversation with the family sitting next to us. It was great that we could also see the sea turtles.
楽しみにしていたサンドバーですが、天候は曇りで強風の為海は非常に寒かったです。
海から上がってきた時のバスタオルなども多めに用意しておいた方が良さそうです。

I highly recommend this tour for anyone who loves the ocean! It was such a wonderful experience! Since it was a tour from morning until early afternoon, I thought it would be a meaningful way to spend the day, so I decided to join this tour.
After arriving, we received a brief explanation from the staff, and then we had the freedom to use our time for snorkeling and sightseeing as we pleased.
First, the ocean. It's just a short walk away, but as expected from the number one beach in the United States, it was incredibly beautiful—I couldn't help but shout with excitement! We were able to rent snorkeling gear and boogie boards for free, so we played for about an hour, enjoyed sunbathing, and took photos... it went by in a flash!
For lunch, we received a voucher to choose between a BBQ lunch or pizza. I chose the recommended spinach and garlic pizza, while my husband opted for the BBQ lunch, and we enjoyed our meal in the shade by the beach. It was delicious, and the view was stunning—it was the best! The pizza was quite large, but my husband said the BBQ lunch was not enough (laughs). If you prefer a hearty meal, I recommend the pizza.
After leisurely eating and playing in the ocean for a bit, time flew by, and we ended the tour with some shopping nearby. Just spending time by the ocean made us very satisfied! If you're interested in exploring the town of Kailua, I recommend planning various activities!
Next time, I hope to explore the town of Kailua beyond just the beach! It was truly great!
海が好きな人にはオススメです!とっても素敵なツアーでした!!
朝から昼過ぎまでのツアーなので、1日有意義に過ごせるなと思い、このツアーに参加ささていただきました。
到着後スタッフから簡単な説明を受けて、シュノーケルや観光などそれぞれ自分たちで自由に時間を使えます。
まずは海。歩いてすぐの場所ですが、さすが全米ナンバーワンに選ばれた海!!とぉっても綺麗で思わず叫んでしまいました!!
シュノーケルやボギーボードを無料でレンタルできたので、1時間くらい遊んで日光浴を楽しんで、写真を撮って…あっという間でした!!
ランチはBBQランチかピザを選択できる券を予めもらうんですが、私はおすすめのほうれん草とガーリックのピザ、主人はBBQランチを選択し、海辺の木陰で食べました。
美味しいし、景色も綺麗で最高でした!
ピザはとっても大きいのですが、BBQランチは主人曰く足りないと(笑)ボリューム重視の方はピザをおすすめします。
のんびり食べて、少し海で遊んでいたらすぐ時間になってしまったので近くで買い物をしてツアー終了になりましたが、海でのんびり過ごしただけでも私たちはとても満足でした!
カイルアの街も散策したい!という方は、計画を色々立てて行かれることをおすすめします!
次はビーチ以外、カイルアの街を散策できたらなぁと思います!本当に良かったです!

I participated in the afternoon departure plan.
Onboard, we were first served Leonard's malasadas (fried doughnuts), along with tea and juice, and the food was delicious.
The portion sizes were more than enough.
The boat swayed a bit until we reached the sandbar, but it was for a short time, so as long as you're feeling well, it's totally manageable.
One of the men in a large group seemed to be hungover and ended up throwing up, but it was funny.
At the sandbar, we got off the boat and spent some time exploring and taking photos. Two turtles, which seemed to be used to being fed, came close, and we took pictures with them.
It seems these two turtles come by every time.
After that, those who wanted to could go snorkeling or stand-up paddleboarding for about 20 minutes before leaving the sandbar.
I think we stayed at the sandbar for about an hour and a half to two hours.
The staff were kind, the sea was incredibly beautiful, and it was a lot of fun.
午後出発のプランに参加しました。
船上ランチでは最初にレナーズのマラサダ(揚げパンです)が配られ、お茶やジュースも出て、ご飯も美味しかったです。
量は十分でした。
サンドバーに出るまで少し船が揺れますが、短い時間なので体調が悪くなければ全然大丈夫なレベルです。
大人数で参加されている男性グループの1人が二日酔いだったらしく吐いておられましたが笑
サンドバーでは船から降りてしばらく散策したり写真を撮ったり、餌付けされているらしいカメさん2匹が近づいてきてくれたので一緒に写真を撮ったりしました。
この2匹のカメは基本毎回来てくれるようです。
その後希望者は20分ほどシュノーケリングやスタンドアップパドルをしてから、サンドバーを後にしました。
だいたいサンドバーに居たのは1時間半から2時間くらいだったように思います。

We did some other snorkelling while in Hawaii and were quite disappointed. We were so glad we booked this trip to do some more. We were taken out to some deeper water and as soon as we jumped off the boat we saw multiple turtles! It was amazing. I have never seen turtles this big and so many in one spot. We spent about an hour snorkelling and then went on a sail out in the sun. The boat is quite spacious and room for groups to keep to themselves or sit with others. The staff were all very helpful and fun to have a chat to. I would definitely go out with these guys again if we return to Hawaii.

I applied for the sandbar tour knowing that the tide conditions weren't great. The weather was bad, so it was just a shallow area. I could only see the sea turtles' heads popping up for air from a distance, and I couldn't tell if they were turtles or something else. The snorkeling was also disappointing due to the cloudy sky, which affected visibility. Since time was limited, I couldn't enjoy it. This time, there were two boats, but because there were many Japanese participants, we were forced to separate into groups of Japanese and others, which created a situation where only Japanese people were present, and that was unfortunate.
サンドバーは、潮目もあまり良くないのは承知で申し込みました。
天気が悪かったので、ただの浅瀬でした。
ウミガメは、遠くから、息継ぎで頭が出るのが見える程度。カメなのか何なのか分かりませんでした。
シュノーケリングも、曇り空だったので、透明度も悪くイマイチ。時間も限られていたので、楽しめませんでした。
今回、ボート2艘でしたが、日本人参加者が多かったこともあり、強制的に、日本人とその他の国で分けられ、日本人しかいない状況を作られたのも残念でした。

I went in February, but it seemed that the air conditioning on the bus from the meeting point to the port couldn't be turned off, so it was really cold. A jacket is a must!! It's definitely better to use the restroom before you go.
We departed from the port by boat. First up was turtle watching! There were more than I expected. I think it was about 15 minutes, and we saw around 10 turtles!
Then we arrived at the sandbar. It was beautiful, as expected!! Everyone got off to the beach and took photos freely. The staff were great and took lots of pictures for us. Since it was cold in February, a rash guard or similar jacket is necessary!
Next was snorkeling. I thought I wouldn't like using a snorkel set that others had used, but it was clean as it had been soaked in chlorinated water! After listening to the staff's explanation, we all set off together. There were a lot of participants, so you had to be careful not to bump into the person in front of you. If you moved slowly, you might bump into the person behind you. But we saw beautiful fish! After one round, snorkeling was over.
When we returned to the boat, each person was rinsed with fresh water to easily wash off the saltwater. Then sandwiches and juice were served. They were quite tasty.
And then we got back on the cold bus to return, and that was the end!
Overall, it was a satisfying experience.
2月に行きましたが、集合場所から港までのバスの冷房が止められないらしく、とっても寒かったです。上着は必須です!!行く前には絶対にトイレに行っておいた方が良いです。
港から船で出発。まずはウミガメウォッチング!思った以上にいます。15分程度だったと思いますが、10匹くらいは見れました!
そして、サンドバーに到着。やっぱりきれい!!それぞれ砂浜に降りて、自由に写真を撮ったり。良いスタッフさんでバシバシ写真撮ってくれます。2月だと寒いので、ラッシュガードなどの上着が必要です!
次にシュノーケリング。人が使ったシュノーケルセットは嫌だと思っていましたが、塩素の入った水に漬けられていてきれいでした!スタッフさんの説明を聞いて、みんなで出発。参加者がたくさんいて、気をつけないと前の人にぶつかる。とろとろしてると後ろの人にぶつかる。でも、きれいな魚見れましたよ!1往復したらシュノーケリング終了。
船に戻ると、一人ひとり真水を頭からかけてくれて塩水を簡単にすすげます。それからサンドイッチとジュースが出されます。普通においしかったです。
で、また寒いバスに乗って帰って終了!
とにかく、満足いくものでした。

I had some concerns about the explanation (laughs), but it turned out to be a great experience. There was water and snacks provided on the boat, and while waiting, we could feed the fish and snorkel freely, making the waiting time enjoyable. I was also very happy to encounter a sea turtle. I heard that some people get seasick while waiting, so I took motion sickness medication with me. It was a bit cold while waiting, so I think having something to wear would be a good idea. The underwater scenery was even more beautiful than I had imagined, with plenty of fish, and I really had a great time. I would love to participate again!
説明には少々不安がありましたが(笑)とても良い経験ができました。ボートにお水、スナック菓子が用意してあり、順番待ちの間は魚にエサをあげたり、シュノーケリングが自由に出来たりで待ち時間も楽しく過ごすことができました。ウミガメに出会うことができたのもとてもうれしかったです。待っている間船酔いするとお聞きしたので酔い止めを飲んでいきました。あと待っている間は寒かったので羽織るものがあるといいかと思います。海の中は想像していた以上にきれいで魚もたくさんいて本当に楽しかったです。また参加したいです!

This was my first dolphin tour in Hawaii. I really wanted to swim with dolphins, so I somewhat forcefully invited my friend to join me. The sea was rough, and there were concerns about departure, but thanks to the decision to go ahead, we were able to encounter dolphins and swim with them, which I am truly grateful and moved by. My friend seemed to have a great time as well, saying, "I want to go again. I can't wait to see the staff!" We also had a lot of fun with SUP and snorkeling. Next time I go to Hawaii, I hope to have graduated from graduate school by then (laughs).
ハワイでは初めてのイルカツアーでした。イルカとどうしても泳ぎたいということで友達を半ば強引に誘っての参加。海が荒れていて、出航が危ぶまれましたが、出航を決めていただいたお陰でイルカに無事に遭遇し泳ぐことができ、本当に感謝また感激でした。友達も相当楽しかったようで、「また行きたい。スタッフの皆さんに早く会いたいと言ってます。」またSUPやシュノーケリングもとっても楽しかったです。次回ハワイに行った時は大学院まで卒業したいなと思っています(笑)
Thank you for participating this time! I'm glad we were able to set sail safely! Please consider the Dolphin High School/Manta University on the Big Island for next time! Mahalo!
この度はご参加頂きありがとうございました!無事出港出来て良かったです!次回はハワイ島のイルカ高等学校/マンタ大学もご検討下さいね!Mahalo!

I went to Hawaii alone for the first time and enrolled by myself, but I never felt lonely because everyone was always attentive and made things lively, so I had a great time! ☆*:.。. o(≧▽≦)o .。.:*☆
Swimming with dolphins, which has been my dream since I was a child, was realized in Hawaii, and it became a very happy memory for me! ♡(*^_^*) I never expected to see them so closely, and I truly think it was a precious experience!!
The cheeseburger for lunch was delicious and the best! (*^o^*)
When I want to see the dolphin instructor again, I would like to ask for it. (^ω^) Thank you for an unforgettable and fun experience!!!
初めて1人でハワイへいき、1人で入学させて頂きましたが、いつも気にかけて盛り上げて下さったので、全く寂しい気持ちはなく楽しく過ごせました☆*:.。. o(≧▽≦)o .。.:*☆
小さい頃からの夢だったイルカと泳ぐことも、ハワイで実現することが出来、とても幸せな思い出になりました♡(*^_^*)
まさかあんなに間近で見れるとは思ってなくて、本当に貴重な体験が出来たと思います!!
お昼のチーズバーガーも美味しくて、最高でした(*^o^*)
またイルカ先生に会いたいときは、お願いしたいと思います(^ω^)忘れられない楽しい経験をありがとうございました!!!
We're glad you enjoyed it. We look forward to your next participation.
お楽しみ頂けて何よりです。
またのご参加をお待ちしております。

absolutely brilliant day - managed to see sea turtles, Dolphins and Humpback Whales.
the staff were brilliant and explained the equipment (as i had never snorkled before) efficiently so there was no confusion and helped point out things to see. the photographs that i purchased at the end of the day were beautiful.

I was very satisfied to see both. The shaking was less than I expected, and it felt nice. My two- and four-year-old daughters were also excited. All the guides spoke English. Breakfast included muffins, and lunch consisted of sandwiches. The air conditioning on the shuttle bus from the hotel was strong, so it's a good idea to sunbathe on the boat to dry off while returning in your swimsuit. By the way, I requested a date change over the phone the day before due to our circumstances, and they kindly agreed.
両方見られて大満足でした。思ったほど揺れは少なく気持ち良かったです。二歳四歳の娘達もはしゃいでいました。ガイドはみな英語でした。朝ごはんはマフィンなど、ランチはサンドイッチなどでした。ホテルからの送迎バス内が冷房強く、水着のまま帰るので船上で日光浴して乾かしておくと◎。ちなみに、前日にこちらの都合で電話で日にち変更をお願いしましたが、快諾していただけました。

We left the hotel before dawn, and both the sunrise and the mountains viewed from the boat were incredibly beautiful. I spotted dolphins several times, but I couldn't see them underwater. The timing was great, and I was lucky to see whales as well. I want to build up my stamina and try again!
暗い内にホテルを出発し、朝日もボートから見る山々も凄く美しかったです。何度もイルカを目撃しましたが、私は水中で見る事は出来ませんでした。次期が良く、クジラも見る事が出来てラッキーでした。体力を付けてリベンジしたいです!
I hope that during your next visit, you will have the opportunity to meet many dolphin instructors.
次回ご参加頂く際には是非たくさんのイルカ先生に出会える事を祈っております。

I have participated in the dolphin swimming tour several times. Fortunately, I was able to swim slowly with the dolphins, but the food and drinks were the worst. They were very bad. After swimming a lot, it was tough not to get any water. Everyone, if you participate, it's better to bring your own water and skip the food.
イルカと泳ぐツアーに何度か参加してます。運良くイルカとゆっくり泳げましたが、食事や飲み物が最低。とてもまずいです。たくさん泳いだ後に水ももらえず辛かった。みなさん、参加するなら、水持って、ごはんは食べない方がいいですよ。
Thank you very much for participating in the tour.
