My daughter, who loves the ocean, wanted to participate in a snorkeling experience with dolphins! I read reviews and didn't expect much when they said you swim with dolphins, as I thought they would just pass by below while snorkeling. However, I was amazed because I saw them clearly three times when I jumped in! They swam close to the boat, and I could also see them jumping in the distance, which was great! We were lucky to spot something that looked like a whale on the way there too!
When I asked my husband, who usually doesn't get very emotional, what he enjoyed the most in Hawaii, he said, "I got a bit tired from swimming, but it was probably the dolphins..." so I think he really enjoyed it. Just keep in mind that even though it's called snorkeling, you have to chase after the dolphins when they come, so it can be tough for those who aren't good swimmers, and if you fall behind, you might miss seeing them. If you can swim normally, you'll be fine. If we get the chance to go back to Hawaii, I would love to join this tour again! (*^^*)
海が大好きな娘の希望でイルカとシュノーケルに参加しました!
口コミを見てイルカと泳ぐ・・・と言ってもシュノーケルしてる下の方をイルカが一瞬で通り過ぎるだけそれほど期待してはいなかったけど3度飛び込んで3度とも見えたし下の方でしたがはっきり見えたので感動でした!
ボートのそばを泳いでくらたり遠くではジャンプする姿も見え良かったです♪
行く途中で鯨らしき物も見えたのでラッキーでした!
普段あまり感動しない旦那さんに『ハワイで何が一番楽しかった?』と聞いたら『泳ぐのにちょっと疲れたけどイルカかな・・・』と言っていたのでよほど楽しかったと思います。
ただシュノーケルと言ってもイルカが来たら追いかけるように着いていかなければいけないので泳ぎの得意ではない人は大変だし遅れると見えない事もあります。
ふつうに泳げるなら大丈夫です。
もしまたハワイに行けることがあれば参加したいツアーです。(*^^*)

I thought it would have been better to check the weather before participating since it was bad. The sandwiches on the boat were delicious!! I expected to see quite a few sea turtles, but I was a bit disappointed as I only saw them occasionally. Please bring a jacket or a bath towel for the return bus, as it can be cold.
天気が悪かったので天気を調べてから参加したら良かったと思いました(^◇^;)
船の上でのサンドイッチは美味しかったです!!
海ガメも結構見れると思ってたんですが、時々しか見れず少し残念でした(^◇^;)
帰りのバスは寒いので上着やバスタオルを持って行って下さい◡̈

It was rainy, but only in the morning, and I enjoyed it enough. The guide was very entertaining. During snorkeling, I saw many swimming fish.
雨だっだが、午前中のみでしたが、十分楽しめました。付き添い(添乗員)のお姉さんが、とってもおもしろかったです。シュノーケルでは、たくさんの泳いでる魚が、見えました。

This was my first time in Hawaii for our honeymoon. My husband wanted to go snorkeling, so we chose this tour where we could swim with dolphins and enjoy snorkeling as well.
First, we were given flowers and had a touching moment of prayer together as we faced the sea. The main dolphin watching part was a bit intense; as soon as we arrived at the spot, we had to jump into the cold water without any warm-up or getting used to it, which made me a bit worried about having a heart attack! The experience of swimming with dolphins was different from what I imagined; instead of leisurely swimming alongside them, it felt more like a hurried attempt to catch a glimpse of the dolphins swimming below us while snorkeling. Since the dolphins are wild animals, it wasn't the relaxing experience I had hoped for.
The dolphin watching was over in an instant, and since some people didn't get to see them, we had a total of two watching sessions, but it felt like we were only in the water for about five minutes, which honestly left me wanting more. After that, we returned to the boat, but it was quite cold with the sea breeze, making it really uncomfortable until we reached the next snorkeling spot. I highly recommend wearing a thick hoodie and bringing a large towel.
The snorkeling afterward was satisfying because we got to see sea turtles up close, which was different from the main dolphin watching. However, the snorkeling time was relatively short, and it felt like it was over before we knew it. It wasn't a leisurely experience but more of a quick taste of it. After returning to the boat, we had a lunch that was labeled as BBQ, which turned out to be cheeseburgers. I had seen reviews about this beforehand, so I was prepared, but those expecting a BBQ might feel a bit misled. The taste was good, though.
Afterward, we enjoyed dancing the hula and taking photos, which was fun. However, in the covered area at the back, the deck leading to the second floor obstructed the view, and there was a noticeable difference in enthusiasm between the guests in front and those behind. Since we were seated at the back, I think some adjustments could be made for better visibility for everyone.
▼ Points of Concern
- The BBQ was misleading since I had an image of grilled meat; the cheeseburger label could cause confusion.
- Water was leaking from the air conditioning in the shuttle bus, soaking some guests.
- The photo data was quite expensive.
- The small boat made it feel like we had to be considerate of others during the move, and depending on the seat, the stairs blocked the view and sound of staff explanations and dances.
- There were no napkins or tissues provided for wiping hands after eating burgers and chips, which made things a bit difficult and the seats tended to get dirty.
- There was little consideration for those feeling cold or seasick; it would have been nice to have some towels or something prepared.
▼ Positive Aspects
- The moment of throwing flowers during the prayer was romantic.
- We got to see sea turtles up close.
- The music on the boat was lively.
- The temporary tattoo stickers were a nice touch.
For those who have participated in other tours or are of a more mature age, you might notice some issues with the facilities, timing, and service. If this were a monitor tour price, I would be satisfied, but at the regular price, I would like to see a bit more in terms of quality and time allocation.
I may have been a bit critical, but I’m really glad I was able to participate.
ハネムーンで初のハワイでした。旦那さんがシュノーケリングをしたいとの事で、イルカと泳げてシュノーケルも楽しめるこちらのツアーにしました。
まずお花を配られて海に向かって皆でのお祈りの時間は感動しました♪
メインのイルカウォッチングは、イルカがいる地点に着くと「今からすぐ行くよ!」という感じでそれまで一切準備運動や水に触れる事なくイキナリ冷たい海に飛び込まないといけないので、ちょっと心臓発作にならないか心配になりました;
メインのイルカと泳ぐツアーは少し想像と違っていて、イルカと泳ぐというよりはシュノーケルで真下を泳ぐイルカを急いで見る!みたいな少しせわしないものでした笑
イルカは野生で自然の生き物ですから、ゆっくり横で見れる~という感じではないのでもともとの私のイメージが少し期待しすぎたかもしれません^^;
イルカウォッチングは一瞬で終わってしまい、見れない方がいたので合計2回のウォッチングとなりましたが、海にいたのはものの5分程度?と思う程短かったので1回だけでは正直かなり物足りなかった気がします。。
その後船に戻りましたが、海風もあってかなり寒く……。次のシュノーケルの地点まで本当に寒くてツライ位でした;
参加される方はしっかり厚手のパーカと大き目のバスタオルは必須です。
その後のシュノーケリングは、メインのイルカウォッチングと違って海ガメを近くで見ながら泳ぐ事が出来て満足です♪
ただ、こちらもシュノーケルの時間が割と短く、もう終わりか~という感じでした。
ゆっくり楽しんだ!という時間ではなく、ちょっと体験!みたいな時間ですね。
船に戻ってからは、BBQという名のチーズバーガーの昼食時間。
BBQの件は事前に口コミを見ていたので、了承済みですがBBQと思って参加される方は「これだけ?」となると思いますので少し過大表記しすぎかと…。
味はおいしいです。
その後は帰りまでフラを踊ったり、写真を撮ったりと盛り上げてくれるのは楽しかったです。
が、奥の屋根付きの所だと二階へのデッキが邪魔で全然見えず、前の客と後の客の温度差が…笑
こちらも奥の座席だったのでちょっと、もう少し皆がみやすい様に工夫が必要かと思います。
▼気になった点
・BBQは、焼き肉のイメージを持つのでチーズバーガーという表記が誤解がないのでは?
・送迎バスのクーラーから水が漏れていて、お客さんにすごい水掛かっていた
・写真データがあまりに高い
・小ぶりの船で、移動には他の人に気を使う感じだったのと、席によっては階段が邪魔でスタッフの説明やダンスなどが見えない&聞こえない
・ハンバーガーやポテトチップスを食べるが手をふくものやティッシュもなく(数人に配ったら途中でなくなっちゃった、ごめんね~という感じ)ちょっと大変&席が汚れがち
・さむがっている人や酔っている人には特に配慮がない(数枚でもタオルや何か用意していてもいいかな)
▼よかった点
・お祈りの時間で花を投げたのがロマンチック
・海ガメが近くで見れた
・海での音楽で盛り上がった
・タトゥーシールがちょっとうれしい
他のツアーなどに参加された経験のある方や割と大人の年齢の方だと設備面や時間、対応などが少し目につく所があると思います。モニターツアーでの価格なら納得♪ですが、正規の料金だともう少し充実度(時間の幅取り)がほしいかなと思います。
少し辛口でしたが、参加できたことはすごく良かったです。

I was so excited about my first trip to Hawaii that I forgot to call the dolphin desk after arriving at the hotel, but I managed to get in touch the night before and was able to join the tour without any issues.
The meeting time was 6 AM. It was still dark, with the sun not yet risen, when we were picked up by a bright yellow bus. I was quite sleepy and thought I would take a nap on the way, but the student council president (the guide) gave a detailed and entertaining explanation about the port we were heading to, the types of dolphins we might see, important notes, and equipment, all while incorporating some impersonations. As a result, I didn’t get a second of sleep during the approximately one-hour ride to the port.
We boarded a high-speed boat to search for dolphins, and it was so much fun! The boat sped along just above the water's surface, bouncing over large waves, making me forget for a moment that we were searching for dolphins. We got splashed with water, so it was cold regardless of the water temperature. I rented a wetsuit for $10, so I didn’t feel the chill, but my husband, without a wetsuit, seemed to be quite cold.
The boat went all the way from Waianae to beyond Ko Olina, but we didn’t find any dolphins. We returned to Waianae, but still no dolphins. The student council president's face started to look more and more worried. As the tour was nearing its end without anyone having entered the water, and just when everyone was starting to give up, the student council president made a surprising suggestion.
After checking the participants' plans, and since no one was in a hurry to return, we decided to continue searching for dolphins! This time, we headed north to Makua Beach. There, we found dolphins! We immediately jumped into the water and were able to swim with seven dolphins.
After that, we enjoyed snorkeling with sea turtles at another spot before returning to the port, where we were taken back to the hotel. We arrived an hour later than scheduled, but I was really glad to have been able to swim with the dolphins.
In a typical tour, I think it would have ended with, "We didn’t see any this time. It can’t be helped since they are wild dolphins." But Dolphin Middle School was different.
I am truly grateful to the student council president and the crew for not giving up and continuing to search for dolphins until the end.
初めてのハワイ旅行にすっかり舞い上がり、ホテル到着後イルカデスクに電話連絡することを忘れてしまいましたが、前日の夜に連絡をとることができ、無事ツアーに参加できました。
集合は朝6時。まだ朝日も昇っておらず暗い中、鮮やかな黄色いバスでピックアップ。かなり眠たかったので、行きのバスで仮眠を…と思っていましたが、生徒会長(=ガイドさん)より、これから行く港の場所や、見られるイルカの種類、諸注意、装備につい等々、モノマネを交えながら面白く細かく説明されるため、港に到着するまでの約1時間、寝る時間は1秒もありませんでした。
港から高速船に乗ってイルカを探すのですが、この船が楽しい!海面スレスレをビュンビュン飛ばして進み、大波を越える時は大きくバウンドして、イルカを探していることを一瞬忘れます。水しぶきを浴びながら進むので、水温に関係なく寒いです。私は$10でウェットスーツを借りていたので感じませんでしたが、ウェットスーツなしの主人はかなり寒かったようです。
船はワイアナエからコオリナの先まで進みましたが、イルカ発見ならず。ワイアナエまで戻るも、やはりイルカはいない。生徒会長の顔もだんだん曇ってきます。一度も海に入ることなくツアー終了の時間が近づき、誰もが諦めかけたとき、生徒会長からの意外な提案が。
ツアー参加者にこの後の予定を確認し、特に急いで帰りたい人がいなかったため、イルカ探しを続行することに!今度は北へ船を進ませマクアビーチへ。そこでイルカ発見!すぐさま海へ入り、7頭のイルカと一緒に泳ぐことができました。
その後、別のポイントでウミガメとシュノーケリングを楽しんでから帰港し、ホテルへと送迎してもらいました。予定より1時間も遅れての到着となりましたが、イルカと一緒に泳ぐことができたので本当に良かったです。
普通のツアーなら「今回は見られませんでした。野生のイルカだから仕方ないですね。」で終了だと思いますが、イルカ中学は違いました。
最後まで諦めずにイルカを探してくれた生徒会長やクルーの皆さんに感謝、感謝です。
Thank you for participating. I'm glad you enjoyed it. It was great to meet the dolphin instructors! We look forward to your next visit!
ご参加頂きましてありがとうございました。お楽しみ頂けて何よりです。イルカ先生達と会えて良かったです!!またのご参加をお待ちしております!

I participated with my family on October 15, 2015. We've traveled to Oahu several times, but it was difficult to make a reservation, so we finally made it to the sandbar this time. The weather was nice when we departed from Waikiki, but by the time we arrived at Kaneohe Bay, it was pouring rain and very cold, making us worry if we would even reach the sandbar. However, we set sail as planned towards the sandbar. Along the way, the rain stopped, and we even saw sea turtles, which lifted our spirits as we arrived at the sandbar! The water was about knee-deep that day. All participants put on snorkeling gear and swam near the coral reef. Although the visibility wasn't great, we were able to see many fish. I looked up at the sky several times wishing for sunshine, but the staff's enthusiasm was amazing, and the simple sandwiches we had at the end were delicious! Next time, I definitely hope for a sunny day!
2015.10/15に家族で参加しました。
オアフ島へ何度か旅行してますが中々予約が取れなくて今回やっとサンドバーに行けました(^^)ワイキキを出発するときはお天気でしたがカネオ湾に到着するときにはなんと土砂降りでとても寒くてサンドバーにたどり着けるのか心配でしたが予定通り出航してサンドバーへ向かいました。途中、雨も上がり海亀さんも顔を題してくれてじょじょにテンションも上がりサンドバーへ到着です!この日はひざ下ぐらいの海水でした。参加者全員でシュノーケルをつけ珊瑚礁の近くを泳ぎました。透明度がありませんでしたが沢山の魚の姿を見ることができました。
何度も晴れていれば~と天を見上げましたが、スタッフの皆さん達の盛り上げ方も最高でしたし最後に頂いたシンプルのサンドイッチも美味しかったです!
次回は是非晴れた日に(^_-)-☆

I was moved to see the sea turtles. During snorkeling, there were sea turtles, and I was able to swim with them. However, I was a bit disappointed by the long wait times, such as waiting for the boat to depart.
Also, due to the timing, I understand it can't be helped, but I had imagined the sandbar to be a bit shallower; the water level was higher than I expected. The plan included about an hour of snorkeling time, but many participants were tired and got back on the boat after about 30 minutes, so it might be better to have a shorter time in the water.
ウミガメが見られて感動でした。シュノーケリングの際にもウミガメがいて一緒に泳ぐこともできました。ですが、船の出向までの待ち時間など待たされることも多く少し残念でした。
また、時期の問題で仕方ないのですが、サンドバーはもう少し浅いものを想像していたのですが、思っていたよりも水面が高かったです。プランでは1時間程度シュノーケリングの時間が取れられていましたが、参加者の多数派疲れて30分くらいで船に上がっていたので、海に入るための時間は短めでもいいかもしれません。

I chose the afternoon course, but I might have had too high expectations for the sandbar, as I wasn't that impressed. The snorkeling was also not great because the water was murky, making it hard to see. There wasn't much to do at the sandbar itself, so I think the morning course would have been sufficient. The staff's service and lunch were really good.
午後コースを選びましたが、サンドバーは期待しすぎたのか、そんなに感動は出来なかったです。
シュノーケリングも海が濁ってあまりよく見えなかった。サンドバー自体ではあまりやる事も無いので午前のコースで充分かなと思います。
スタッフさんの対応、ランチは凄く良かった。

The sandbar was cold. It seemed like it was a time of year when the beach wasn't really accessible, and I was constantly waist-deep in the sea. It wasn't at all like the small island I had imagined. I should have done proper research.
But!! After going snorkeling, my mood completely changed!
It was so much fun, and I really felt glad that I participated.
The crew was considerate towards families with children, so I recommend it for those with kids as well.
サンドバーは寒かったです。砂浜が季節的に?出ない時期だったようで、ずっと腰まで海に浸かっている状態で、私が想像していた、小さい小島?みたいな感じではありませんでした。ちゃんとリサーチすればよかったです。
でも‼︎シュノーケルに行って、気分一転!
すごく楽しくて、本当に参加してよかったと思えましたd(>Д<*)/
クルーの方々は子供連れの方への気遣いがあり、お子様連れの方へもオススメです。

After 20 years, I finally took a trip to Hawaii, and I decided to go snorkeling, which has been my long-time dream. The participants included three young couples who seemed to be newlyweds, all of whom had experience, while my husband and I, a middle-aged couple, had none. We were filled with anxiety, worried about being a burden since we weren't confident swimmers. After receiving thorough explanations, we entered the water, practiced breathing through our mouths with fins and masks. At that moment, my anxiety peaked! I thought, "Oh no, this might be tough," and then my husband declared, "I can't do this," and wanted to give up. His face was tense and pale as he said he just wanted to splash around in the shallow water. However, Chieko-san wouldn't let him off that easily and half-forced him to continue (laughs). My husband held my right hand and Chieko-san's left hand tightly, thinking, "It's okay to let go of my right hand, but I absolutely can't let go of my left hand," as he swam.
Unfortunately, we didn't get to see any sea turtles, but we were able to see plenty of coral, beautiful fish, and schools of fish. Chieko-san was always by our side, reassuring us that we were doing great, which allowed my husband to enjoy the experience until the end. If we had given up at that moment, we wouldn't have created such wonderful memories. The photos posted on Facebook are also so much fun! Thank you so much, Chieko-san and Dan! I highly recommend this tour.
20ン年ぶりのハワイ旅行、ずっと念願だったシュノーケルを思いきってお願いしました。参加者は、私達中年夫婦以外は、新婚さんと思われる若いカップルが3組で、皆経験あり。私達といえば、経験なしの泳ぎも自信無く、足手まといにならないか不安でいっぱい。一通りの丁寧な説明をうけ、海に入り、フィン、マスクをつけて口呼吸
の練習。この時不安は最高潮!うわ〜苦しいかも〜と思ったら、私以上に夫が「俺、だめだ」とリタイア宣言。「この辺りでチャプチャプ遊んでいたい」という夫の顔はこわばり青ざめていました。が!チエコさんはいいとは言ってくれず、半ば無理やり連れていかれました(笑)夫は右手を私、左手をチエコさんにしっかり握られ、「右はいいけど左手は絶対はなしたらアカン」と思いながら泳いでいたらしいです。
残念ながらウミガメには会えませんでしたが、サンゴや綺麗な魚、魚の群れなどをたくさん見る事ができました。チエコさんはいつもそばにいてくれて、大丈夫だよ〜上手にできてる〜と声をかけてくれていたお陰で、夫も最後まで楽しむことができました。あのとき諦めていたら、こんなに楽しい思い出にはできませんでした。フェイスブックにアップされた写真も楽しい!チエコさん、ダンさんほんとうにありがとう‼️すごくおすすめ出来るツアーです。

The weather on the day was cloudy and a bit chilly, and since I'm not good at swimming, I hesitated about snorkeling, but I was incredibly excited to try snorkeling for the first time in my life!!
The staff members, especially the navigator, were friendly, and it turned out to be a fun time. Some might think the price is high, but compared to other optional tours, the duration is longer, and it includes light snacks. Most importantly, being able to see the beautiful sea (sandbar) that you can't experience on the beach is a real highlight.
That day, we couldn't see any sea turtles from the boat, but surprisingly, we encountered one in the water (laughs).
I apparently swam alongside a sea turtle, but I was so focused that I didn't notice until the staff pointed it out. When I hurriedly looked into the water, there was a sea turtle coming close to me. I had never seen fish so up close, so I was very satisfied.
There's a saying that seeing a sea turtle brings happiness, so I'm looking forward to what comes next. Thank you for the enjoyable time. I will definitely participate again next time.
当日の天気が曇りで肌寒むかったプラス私が泳ぎが得意ではないこともありシュノーケリングをやろうか迷いましたが、生まれて初めてシュノーケリングをやって大感激!!
ナビゲーターのスタッフの方は勿論、皆さん気さくで楽しい時間となりました。金額的に髙いと思う方もいらっしゃるかもしれませんが、他のオプショナルツアーの時間と比べると長いし軽い軽食もついているし、なんと行っても浜辺では絶対味わえない綺麗な海(サンドバー)を見れるのは醍醐味です。
その日はボートの上からではウミガメが見れなかったのですが、な、なんと海の中で会うことができました(笑)
ウミガメと並んで泳いでいたらしいのですが必至な私はスタッフの方に教えてもらうまで気づかず、慌てて海の中を見るとウミガメが近くに来てくれていました。あんなに間近で魚を見たこともなかったので大満足です。
ウミガメを見ると幸せになれるという言い伝えがありますが、これからが楽しみです。
楽しい時間を有難うございました。次も絶対に参加させて頂きますね。

The staff were incredibly friendly and it was a lot of fun. The ocean was beautiful, the boat ride was pleasant, and playing beach volleyball was enjoyable. Snorkeling was great too, as I got to see beautiful fish and turtles. But the highlight was definitely seeing six manta rays swimming in a circle—what an amazing experience! Also, the burgers that the captain grilled were incredibly delicious! They might have been the best burgers I've ever had in Hawaii. Next time, I want to go to the sandbar on a clear day. I definitely want to participate again next year.
スタッフのみなさんはすごくフレンドリーで楽しかった。
海はきれいだし、ボートは気持ちいいし、ビーチバレーも楽しかった。
シュノーケルはきれいな魚とカメさんも見られて良かったぁ。
でも一番はマンタが6頭サークルを描いて泳いでるのをみられたことがなにより感動!!
あと、キャプテンが焼いてくれたバーガーがすごーくおいしかった!
ハワイで食べたバーガーで一番おいしかったかもしれない。
今度は快晴のサンドバーに行きたいなぁ。
来年もぜひ参加したいと思います。

At the end of October, I participated in the first tour of the day! It was a day with rain in the forecast, but it only rained briefly like a downpour. It seems that as the rainy season begins, there will be more rainy days ahead.
I thought there might be others who are unsure whether to choose a short morning tour or a longer one, but since I don't have much stamina, the 45-minute snorkeling was just enough for me (laughs).
The guide was Japanese, funny, and provided thorough explanations, making it a well-organized tour. I encountered sea turtles and mantas, making it an amazing tour that I highly recommend.
10月末、朝一番のツアーに参加しました!
雨予報の日でしたが、スコールみたいで一次的にしか降りませんでした。雨季が始まる頃、今後は雨の日が多くなるみたいです。
朝の短時間のツアーか時間の長いツアーで迷われてる方がいらっしゃるかなと思うのですが、私は体力があまりないので45分のシュノーケルで十分でした(笑)
ガイドさんは日本人で面白いし、解説も丁寧できちんとしたツアーです。ウミガメやマンタにも出会えて最高のツアーでオススメです。

I was worried it would be disappointing if it rained at the sandbar, but we were blessed with wonderful weather, and I got to see many sea turtles. The sandwiches for our light meal were delicious, and our guide was fantastic. However, one thing that was a bit disappointing for me was that the sandbar was only knee-deep in seawater, which was different from the image I had seen on TV.
サンドバーまで行って雨だったら残念と思っていましたが
すばらしい天気にめぐまれ海がめにもたくさん合えたし
軽食のサンドイッチも美味しくガイドさんのおもしろさも
最高でしたが1つ自分なりに残念だったのが
サンドバーが海水でひざ下ほどありテレビで見たイメージと違って
いたことです

I was healed by seeing sea turtles while on the boat and during snorkeling. The sandbar felt like walking on the sea, which was a mysterious experience. The snorkeling time was short, and there weren't that many fish, so if you want to enjoy snorkeling, I recommend Hanauma Bay.
船の上からとシュノーケリングの時にウミガメが見られて癒された。
サンドバーは海の上を歩いてるようで、不思議な体験だった。
シュノーケリングの時間は短く、魚の数もそれほど多くないため、シュノーケリングを楽しみたいならハナウマ湾の方がおすすめ。
Aloha! Thank you for joining the Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour. It truly feels like walking on the ocean... exactly right! Please come back and visit us again!!
アロハ!キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーにご参加ありがとうございました。
海の上を歩いているような。。。まさしくその通りですね。また遊びにいらして下さい!!

This was my first sandbar experience, and I was super excited! Until yesterday, the weather had been completely clear! But today... it’s all gloomy~~ and there’s even a bit of light rain. When we arrived at the yacht harbor, the rain had stopped, but the sky was still overcast. It was a bit chilly, but we gathered our spirits and set sail for turtle watching.
At 11 o'clock, we spotted a manta ray—wait, a manta ray? Apparently, the chances of seeing one are lower than that of seeing a sea turtle. Lucky us! We were able to see plenty of sea turtles and then headed to the sandbar. The tide was as expected since we checked it beforehand; it was a bit cold at first, but we got used to it quickly. It felt amazing!! Even though it was cloudy, the clear sea was beautiful—if only the weather had been nice, it would have been perfect! Why did it have to be like this just on this day? Plus, it cleared up in the afternoon. I guess it’s just my bad luck... something to work on for next time.
初めてのサンドバー体験ですテンションMAX!昨日まででずーっと快晴!今日は・・ど、ど、どんより~~しかも小雨まじり。ヨットハーバーに到着時雨はあがったものの、相変わらず曇り空。肌寒いが、気を取り直していざ出航ウミガメウォッチへ。11時の方向マンタ~ えっ?マンタ?でもウミガメより見れる確率が少ないそうだ。ラッキー!無事ウミガメもいっぱい見れてサンドバーへ。潮位は事前確認済みの為だいたい予想どうり、入り始めは少し冷たいがすぐ慣れる。しかし気持ちいい!!曇りでも透きとおった海はキレイだ~これで天気が良ければサイコーだったのになぜこの日だけ?しかも午後は晴れ。自分の運の悪さか・・次回の課題です。

This activity was a highlight of our trip! The crew was great & we had a blast snorkeling/Snuba-ing! We highly suggest doing the SNUBA! Ross was our guide, and helped make us feel comfortable with everything and helped make our experience great! Food and Drinks were an added bonus. Didn't see any Dolphins, but plenty of beautiful fish, starfish, & turtles. Would do this again in a heartbeat!

The wind was strong and it was cloudy, so it was a bit chilly, but the clear blue sea was really beautiful. I was glad to encounter a manta ray. The crew was cheerful and it was a lot of fun. P.S. It's a good idea to research the tide times in advance and decide on the departure time accordingly.
風が強く曇っていたので、少し肌寒さはありましたが透きとおったブルーの海はすごくキレイでした。マンタに遭遇することが出来て良かったです。クルーの皆さんも陽気で楽しかったです。追伸:潮の満ち引きの時間は事前に
リサーチして、出港時間を決めた方が良いですよ。

The sandbar was shallow and beautiful, and even my husband, who isn't fond of the sea, enjoyed it. We played volleyball together, listened to guitar performances on the boat, and the hamburgers for lunch were delicious!
サンドバーは、水位か浅く綺麗で、海が苦手な主人も楽しんでました。皆でバレーボールしたり、船内ではギターの弾き語りが聞けたり、お昼ご飯のハンバーガーも美味しかったです♪

It was a rare bad weather day that happens once a year, but the sea was still beautiful.
I was a bit surprised to see the staff rolling up the hamburger buns for lunch and throwing them at each other like a snowball fight. I guess the sense of fun is a bit different from what I'm used to in Japan. Next time, I’ll choose a different tour.
一年に一度あるかないかの悪天候でしたが、それでも綺麗な海でした。
スタッフがお昼のハンバーガーのバンズを丸めてお互いに雪合戦のように投げ合っていてちょっとビックリしました。
やっぱり日本人とは感覚が違うのかなぁ。
今度は別のツアーにします。

Holy cow, if you can afford this, DO IT! Up close and personal with the fishes--you can pet them and everything. There is a food thingey attached to each sub scooter, so that's why they are coming right up to you, it's awesome.
Lots of turtles in the water too--we had one swim right next to us! Afterward, when on the boat, several others swam close around us.
The divers were all great guys to work with. Very good at their job, and very nice to everyone. A great crew. They also take photos and video of you with the sea life while you are down there--you can purchase these afterward. Plan on it--$50 for both photos and video. They are great, and you can't get as good with your own camera (at least I don't see how you would).
I also preferred this to snorkeling, because of being deeper in the water, the view is much different, yet there are no worries about breathing or anything--it's the awesomeness of being in a bubble! Absolutely fantastic adventure. Highly recommend.
