ハワイ水中スクーター　泳げなくてもOK！シーボブで海底散歩＆シュノーケリングクルーズ

First experience 初体験

Reviewed by: 愛知の美紀子

As someone who is not good at swimming, I was nervous until it started, but the instructor explained everything in Japanese, allowing me to have this first experience. It felt like a different world when fish came to eat the bait from my hand and beautiful fish swam right in front of me. Since I participated with my child, we were able to walk along the ocean floor together, which was very considerate. I am thrilled to have had such a wonderful experience.

泳ぎが苦手な私は始まるまでドキドキでしたが、インストラクターの方が日本語でも説明してくれて初体験する事が出来ました。海中で魚が手元の餌を食べに来てくれたり目の前をきれいな魚が群れているのは別世界。親子での参加でしたので、気を利かして三人で並んで海底散歩出来ました。良い体験できて感激です

サンドバー　キャプテンブルース　天国の海®︎シュノーケリングクルーズ　SUPや浮き輪などレンタルアイテムも！＜午前・午後／日本語クルー＞

This is my third time participating. 三回目の参加です

Reviewed by: Ｎ．M

I participated with my five-year-old son. The staff were very friendly and entertaining. This is my third time participating, and every time, it's amazing to see my son’s skills improving. Thank you so much! We were able to see a sea turtle again this time (my five-year-old son was very excited, as he always is).

The lunch served on the boat was also very delicious! There were ham sandwiches, cookie potato chips, fruits, waffles, and salad—much more luxurious than I expected! We couldn't go snorkeling yet, so we stayed behind, but they lent us floaties and allowed us to play leisurely after snorkeling. They even provided a bodyboard for kids that lets you see underwater, and my son had a great time playing with it! Meanwhile, I enjoyed my lunch while watching them.

I highly recommend this! I believe families with small children can enjoy it thoroughly!

五歳の息子と二人で参加しました^^
スタッフの方はとっても気さくで楽しませてくれます。
三回目の参加ですが参加する度に当たり前の事ですが息子のできる事が増えていくのでいつもとっても楽しませて頂いてます。ありがとうございます！
今回もウミガメも見れましたし(参加する度に毎回見れていますが五歳になった息子は大興奮)
船の上で食べるlunchもとっても美味しいです^^
ハムサンドやクッキーポテトチップス、フルーツ、ワッフル、サラダ、思っているよりもきっととっても豪華です！
シュノーケリングはまだ出来なかったのでわたし達は残り組でしたが……
浮き輪を貸してくれたり、シュノーケリングが終わったあともゆっくりと遊ぶ時間もあり、子供用の海の中が見えるボディーボード？
を貸してくださり息子と遊んでくれました！
その間私はそれを眺めながらゆっくりlunchを……
ほんとうにオススメです！
小さなお子様連れでも、十分に楽しめると思います！

The weather was clear, so the sea was beautifully blue! I couldn't clearly spot the sea turtles, but the guide was calling out directions to everyone.

I was also impressed by the schools of fish while snorkeling! However, it was quite cold when we got out of the water, so a towel change is a must!

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＞

Participating with my mother and daughter. Concerns and various things. 母と娘、2人での参加。心配ごとやあれこれ

Reviewed by: MIKI

We are not used to traveling abroad, so we have a lot of worries. The main concerns were: 1) clothing, 2) belongings & luggage, 3) temperature, and 4) snorkeling. Additionally, I have some other thoughts.

1) Clothing
I wore a swimsuit with a rash guard on top and quick-drying pants that are 3/4 length. Long skirts were seen here and there. Even those in long pants were relaxed and free. There were various styles, including half shorts and hot pants, and some people wrapped towels around themselves. Most men wore knee-length swimsuits. On the way back, you can just lay down your towel and ride the bus as is. There are no designated changing areas, but you can change in the restroom.

2) Belongings & luggage
There is zero security. Rings and other small items can easily be lost, so newlyweds should be careful. There are no opportunities to use credit cards; cash for tips should suffice. You can store your belongings under the chairs, but seawater can drip from those sitting on the chairs, so they may get wet. Avoid fabric items. If you wrap your towel and change of clothes in plastic, you should be fine. I brought my passport but didn’t use it. I regretted not bringing a towel for the return bus, as it was very cold. With the air conditioning, I felt like I was in training with wet hair and a wet swimsuit. It was freezing. I went straight to the bath when I got back to the hotel.

3) Temperature
On June 13, it was sunny and perfect. It seems it was a bit cold at the sandbar a little while ago. This time of year is ideal, but it can get too hot later on, which can drain your energy due to direct sunlight.

4) Snorkeling
My 65-year-old mother did not participate and waited on the boat. I snorkeled for the first time. There were striped fish, but no colorful ones, and since there was no food, they didn’t come close, but I was satisfied. I think it lasted about 10 minutes, which was just right considering it was my first time and my mother was waiting alone on the boat. In addition to the life jackets provided to everyone, there was also a long floating stick. With the life jacket, I was able to relax and enjoy the underwater view.

That sums up my concerns and the results.

Regarding the flow after boarding, we stayed at the turtle spot and searched for turtles from the boat → arrived at the sandbar, got off and wandered around (taking photos individually and getting photos taken) → returned to the boat to prepare for snorkeling → moved to the snorkeling area. Since the boat doesn’t move, those who don’t snorkel can wander around the sandbar → snorkeling → return to the boat → lunch while heading back.

It’s best to board early. If there are many participants, good seats will be gone. The interior of the boat is recommended for those who don’t want to get sunburned. However, you can only see the sea from the sides and back of the boat. After snorkeling, I recommend returning to the boat without lingering. Everyone pays the same amount, and while we want to enjoy ourselves equally, others are others. No one will give up a good seat. Let’s enjoy ourselves while maintaining basic manners and asserting ourselves.

Turtles. They showed up here and there.

Restrooms. There are supposedly two on the boat, but I recommend using the ones at the port to avoid wasting time. They were cleaner than restrooms in Japanese stations or parks. We didn’t use the boat’s restroom, but unlike in Japan, they use a pump system for flushing, and paper should be disposed of in the trash.

Food and drink. Soft drinks were provided upon boarding. After snorkeling, we had sandwiches (ham and cheese) and about 7-8 pieces of something like Doritos, along with warm tea. I thought it was a bit shabby, but considering I had just swum for 10 minutes, the sandwiches and Doritos were delicious, especially since we could eat them casually on the boat. With many participants, I think it was best to have something we could sit down and eat calmly. The warm tea

海外に慣れた2人じゃないので心配が山ほど。
心配だった主なことは①服装②持ち物&荷物③気温④シュノーケリング。あとその他、思ったことなど。
①服装
水着に上はラッシュガード、下は9分丈の乾きやすいパンツ。長いスカートはチラホラ。長いパンツでも浮くこともなく皆さん自由&ラフ。下はハーフパンツ、ホットパンツの丈、バスタオルを巻いている人と様々でした。男性は膝丈の水着の方ばかりでした。
帰りは持参したタオルを敷けばそのままバスに乗れます。
着替える専用の場所はありませんが、トイレで着替えることができます。

②持ち物&荷物
セキュリティはゼロです。指輪とか落としやすいそうです。新婚さん注意。クレカを使う場面はありません。チップ分のキャッシュのみで良いと思います。イスの下に荷物を入れますが海水が椅子に座った人からつたって入ってしまうので濡れます。布製は避けましょう。タオルや着替えはビニールに包めば大丈夫です。パスポートも持っていきましたが使いません。私は帰りのバスが非常に寒かったのでバスタオルを持っていけば良かったと後悔しました。エアコンが効いているので髪も水着も濡れた状態では、修行している気分でした。極寒。ホテルについてお風呂に直行したくらい。

③気温
6/13晴れており最適でした。
少し前はサンドバーでも寒かったようです。これからの時期が最適で、その先になって暑すぎると直射日光で体力を消耗してしまうそうです。

④シュノーケリング
65歳の母は不参加で船で待ってました。
初めてシュノーケリングをしました。シマシマの魚はいましたが、カラフルな魚はいなく、また餌も無いので近くに来ることはありませんでしたが満足できました。10分程度だったと思いますが初めてであること、母が船で1人でまっていることを考えると10分という時間はちょうど良かったです。
全員に配備されるライフジャケット以外に、長い棒状の浮きもあり。ライフジャケットがあるので、リラックスして海中を見ることが出来ました。

以上が、心配していた事と結果です。その他について。

乗船してからの流れは、亀スポットにとどまり、船上から亀をみんなで探す→サンドバーに到着、降りてウロウロする(それぞれで写真を撮る、撮っても貰える)→船に戻ってシュノーケリングの準備→降りてシュノーケリングの場所に移動。船は動かないのでシュノーケリングしない人はサンドバーをウロウロしてても良いかも→シュノーケリング→船に戻る→ランチしながら帰港

乗船するのは早めが良いです。参加者が多いと、良い席がなくなります。船内は日焼けしたくない人にはお勧め。ただし船内からは海は脇と後方しか見れません。シュノーケリング後もタラタラせず船に戻ることをお勧めします。払ってる金額は一緒、平等に気楽にいきたいものですが、他人は他人。良い席を譲る人はおりません。最低限のマナーと自己主張のうえ、楽しみましょう。

亀。あちこちに姿を見せてくれました。

トイレ。船にも二つあるそうですが、せっかくの時間が勿体無いので港で済ませることをお勧めします。日本の駅や公園のトイレより清潔感がありました。私たちは船のトイレは利用しませんでしたが、日本のとは異なり流し方はポンプ式で紙は流さずゴミ箱に捨てるそうです。

飲食。乗船してソフトドリンク。シュノーケリングの後、サンドイッチ(ハムとチーズ)とドンタコス的なのが7〜8枚と、暖かいお茶。しょぼ〜、、と思いましたが、10分とはいえ泳いだ後でしたし、船の上で手づかみで気にせず食べれるサンドイッチとドンタコス的なものは最高に美味しかったです。参加者が多いので座って落ち着いて食べれるそれらはベストだと思いました。お茶も暖かくホッとできました。

午前中だけのツアーは、時間を有効に使える点、体力消耗を考えたらベストなツアーだと思いました。

案内をしてくださる方は日本語ペラペラ。女性で丁寧な説明をされる方だったので、安心できました。他のスタッフは現地感のあるラフで自由な人たちでした。

ちなみにサンドバーではタバコ吸ってもいいそうです。フィルター部分を捨てなければ。。
私たちは非喫煙者で特に母はタバコが嫌い。案内を聞いた時ちょっと残念でしたが、実際吸ってる人がいても、離れれて風上にいれば気になりませんでした。喫煙者の方は綺麗な海でタバコを吸えるなんて滅多にないので嬉しそうでした。

以上。帰りのバスの寒さ以外、とても満足できました。
寒さは自己の工夫と、管理次第でなんとかなります。

ハナウマ湾シュノーケリング　ベテラン日本語ガイドがご案内する少人数制ツアー　貸切プランあり＜半日＞

There are a lot of fish. お魚がたくさん

Reviewed by: のぶりん

As expected from Hanauma Bay, where regulations are well established, the number of fish was incredible. I've snorkeled several times in the beautiful waters of Okinawa, but it doesn't compare. Hanauma Bay is full of colorful fish whose names I don't know, including the Yagara. Unfortunately, I didn't encounter any sea turtles, but it's definitely a place I want to visit again. I hope to go before I get too old. Since I'm not very good at English, I really appreciated the guidance in Japanese. It allowed me to focus on observing the fish with peace of mind.

さすが規制がきちっと整っているハナウマ湾なだけあってお魚の数がはんぱではなかった。
沖縄の海もきれいなので何度かシュノーケルをしましたが、比になりません。
ハナウマ湾は名前のわからないカラフルな魚・ヤガラなどなど、とにかく多いです。残念ながらウミガメに遭遇することはできませんでしたが、是非また行ってみたい場所です。そんなに歳とらないうちに行きたいな。
英語があまり得意ではない私は、日本語での案内がとても良かったです。安心して魚観察に夢中になれました。

ハナウマ湾シュノーケリング　日本語ガイドが海の世界へご案内＜シュノーケルセット／終日＞

The expert is on summer vacation... 達人はサマーバケーション中で・・・

Reviewed by: Sigg

Unfortunately, the expert was on summer vacation, and other individuals (mainly scuba diving instructors) took over. On the day of the tour, the low tide caused the coral to be exposed above the water's surface. We were able to see some fish, but we did not observe any sea turtles. I appreciated the thorough explanations and attentiveness throughout the experience.

By the way, thanks to this tour, we were able to enter in an instant, but if you try to line up normally, it can be quite a hassle. Even if you don't choose this option, I think it's better to go with a tour.

残念ながら達人はサマーバケーション中で別の方々（主にスクーバダイビングのインストラクター）が担当してくださいました。
当日は干潮のせいで、サンゴが海面から出てしまうほどでした。
魚はいくらかは確認できましたが、ウミガメは観察できませんでした。
終始丁寧な説明と気配りをしていただけて良かったと思います。

ちなみに入場まではこのツアーのおかげで一瞬で入れましたが、普通に並ぼうとすると大変なことになりますので、これを選ばないにしてもツアーで行った方が良いかと思います。

We gathered early in the morning while it was still dark. On the ship, the handsome crew entertained us by dancing and singing, but despite going without eating anything in the morning, we only received a single hamburger for lunch. There were no fruits as mentioned in the itinerary either. In the end, there was no hula lesson after disembarking, and we were just taken back to our hotel and dismissed. There was no information provided about the absence of the hula lesson. We returned to the hotel by noon. I felt it was disappointing that, despite paying a high price to participate, the planned itinerary was not followed.

早朝暗いうちから集合。
船ではイケメンのクルーたちが踊ったり歌ったりして楽しませてくれますが、朝から何も食べずに行ったのに、ランチという名のハンバーガー一個だけ。
行程表に書いてあったフルーツもなし。
しまいには下船後のフラレッスンさえもなく普通に送迎されて解散でした。
フラレッスンがないというインフォメーションもなし。
12時にはホテルに帰ってきました。

Hanauma Bay Self-Guided Snorkel Tour & Gear Rental with Hotel Transportation

Amazing views...like a postcard!

Reviewed by: Katie Morales

We loved snorkeling at Hanauma Bay! We could see fish all around us in waist-deep water, and even though it was busy, there was plenty of space to have our own experience. The food in the snack bar was good (although a little pricey), and I liked that we could rent life jackets and stoppers for our snorkels from the company once we got there. Just make sure you bring extra money for the entrance fee, tram (it saves a lot of uphill walking), equipment rental, and food. You can also bring food on the beach, so pack some snacks and water to save some cash.

I was able to see sea turtles five times! The guide was also enjoyable! The tide was just right, and the water at the sandbar was about 20 cm deep, so I am very satisfied.

However, couples on their honeymoon should be cautious.

After arriving at the sandbar, we were made to take group photos. I was surprised to find myself waiting in line at the sandbar.

I rated it two stars, but overall, I would like to give it five stars; however, I had to rate it this way because I really disliked this particular point.

ウミガメは5回会えました！ガイドの人も楽しかったです！
潮の具合もよくサンドバーでは足元20cmぐらいの深さでしたので大変満足してます。

Reviewed by: おけいはん1109

I wanted to see that beautiful heavenly sea once more, so this time I joined the morning tour. The sandbar had quite a bit of water up to my waist before high tide, and there were few fish for snorkeling, plus I didn't see any sea turtles... I think the early morning tour I took last time was better, even though it was a bit colder; the water level was lower, there were more fish, and I was able to see sea turtles, which was really moving! However, I thought the staff's service and Captain Bruce's meals were good.

もう1度あの美しい天国の海をみたくて今回は午前ツアーに参加しました。サンドバーも満潮前で割と腰迄水が有りシュノーケリングも魚は少なくホヌも見れず…前回の早朝ツアーの方が多少寒くても水位が低く魚も多くホヌもみれて感動したかな⁈でもスタッフの対応やキャプテンブルースの食事は良かったと思います。

In the midst of the blue sea... 青い海の真っただ中で・・・・

Reviewed by: 三丁目

After surpassing our sixtieth birthdays, my spouse and I decided to join this tour without considering our age, and the result was an experience that exceeded our expectations, turning into an incredibly enjoyable adventure. At the sandbar, the crew set up a volleyball game and casually invited participants to join in, and despite our age, we jumped right into the fun and had a great time (though perhaps some others were annoyed?).

During the sea turtle watch, we not only saw sea turtles but also spotted three manta rays at the same time, making it a truly satisfying tour. However, the BBQ lunch? It was just hamburgers, so was that really BBQ? While it’s true that meat was grilled on the boat...

Overall, the crew and guides were exceptionally cheerful, and we had a fantastic time. Even in our sixties, we enjoyed ourselves thoroughly. Thank you very much!

還暦を過ぎた夫婦二人、年も考えずにこのツアーに参加しましたが、結果は大満足を通り越して大大満足の楽しいツアーとなりました。サンドバーではクルーの方々がバレーボールのセッティングをし、参加者に気軽に呼び込みをされており、年も考えずに輪の中に入りましたが、それはそれで結構楽しみました。(他の人たちは迷惑がっていたかも?)
また、ウミガメウォッチでは、ウミガメはもちろん、マンタがそれも三匹も同時に見られ、納得のツアーとなりました。
ただ、BBQランチ?は、ハンバーガーだったので、あれがBBQ?

We even were able to see a few sea turtles. Our favorite part was after you get done snorkeling, they take you out for a quick little sailing trip around the bay. I would definitely book another trip through these guys.

I felt that snorkeling wasn't as free and playful as I had hoped, but I was really happy to swim alongside a baby sea turtle that passed by.

On my first trip to Hawaii, I visited the sandbar I had always wanted to see. It was incredibly beautiful, and I was able to relax there! Having lunch outside was exceptional. Thank you for a wonderful time!

初めてのハワイで、行ってみたかったサンドバー。すごく綺麗でゆっくり過ごせました！
ランチも外で食べると格別です。
楽しい時間をありがとうございました！

サンドバー　キャプテンブルース　天国の海®︎シュノーケリングクルーズ　SUPや浮き輪などレンタルアイテムも！＜午前・午後／日本語クルー＞

The sea is too beautiful! きれいすぎる海！

Reviewed by: まぁさん

We participated as a couple on our honeymoon.

On the day we joined, as I had researched beforehand, the water was about waist-deep even in shallow areas, and it felt great to walk in the beautiful, clear sea under the blue sky. Regarding snorkeling, I can swim, but it was difficult to swim in the flowing sea without being able to touch the bottom. It was hard to breathe until I got used to the equipment, and I almost bumped into others while moving as a group, which posed a risk of drowning. I believe one should be aware of these risks before participating. I write this seriously, but if you think, "I can probably swim, so it should be fine," it might be better not to take the challenge lightly. After all, if an accident happens, it ruins the fun you were looking forward to. This sentiment was reflected in the staff's words when they explained snorkeling on the boat. Even though the atmosphere on the boat was relaxed throughout, it was tense during this explanation. However, that was reassuring. The staff provides solid support, so if you can swim, I encourage you to give it a try. Since sandbar walking comes before snorkeling, it might be a good idea to check your swimming ability lightly during that time.

At first, I struggled to breathe until I got the hang of it, and I felt a bit of fear, but as I got used to it, I was able to enjoy watching the corals and the fish swimming underwater. I brought an underwater camera, but it was difficult to take pictures of the fish while swimming. By the way, I brought a waterproof disposable camera from Japan, but they were also available for sale on the boat. Additionally, during sandbar walking, the staff took photos with a DSLR camera, and at the end, they offered prints for sale. If you have a waterproof camera, you can also hand it to the staff to take pictures for you.

The highlight of this tour, the BBQ lunch, was delicious, especially the chicken and chili beans, and I ended up going back for seconds. There was plenty prepared, so it seemed fine to go for seconds. The staff performed hula dancing, and while we were eating, a sea turtle unexpectedly approached the boat, creating a pleasant and enjoyable atmosphere. Since transportation to and from the hotel is included, you can participate in light clothing, just wearing a cover-up over your swimsuit. You only need to bring minimal items: a towel, sunscreen, a waterproof camera, and a little money (since there are photo sales). You take off your beach sandals before boarding the boat and place them in a container. I considered bringing reef shoes but ultimately decided against it. Most people went barefoot. If you have foot injuries or concerns about injuries, it might be worth considering bringing shoes. Perhaps because the water depth was significant and it wasn't a complete sandbar that day, walking barefoot didn't hurt at all. On the boat, you keep your belongings in a container under your seat. Since the container is shared, having a zippered plastic bag can be convenient. After snorkeling, you get quite cold, so a cover-up is essential.

If I have the chance to go to Hawaii again, I would definitely participate! This time, due to scheduling, it happened to be a day with deeper water, but next time, I want to walk on a beautifully exposed sandbar. And I hope to have the same cheerful and fun staff as this time. I became a big fan of staff member D, who looks like a complete foreigner but speaks fluent Japanese and is always joking! Thank you for the wonderful memories in Hawaii! Mahalo!

ハネムーンで夫婦2人で参加しました。

参加した日は事前に調べた通り、浅い所でも腰ぐらいの深さでしたが、とてもきれいな透き通った海と青空の中を歩けて気持ちよかったです。
シュノーリングについてですが
私は泳げないわけではないですが、足がつかず、しかも流れのある海の中を泳ぐのは難しかったです。
道具も慣れるまで呼吸がしにくかったり、集団で移動する為に周りの人とぶつかりそうになったりで、下手すれば溺れるおそれもあり
そのリスクを承知の上で参加すべきだと私は思いました。
あえてシリアスに書きますが、たぶん泳げるからたぶん大丈夫だろう…という感じなら安易に挑戦しない方が良いのかも知れません。
せっかく楽しみにして行っても事故が起こっては台無しですからね。
それは、船上でシュノーケリングについて説明をするスタッフの言葉にも表れていたのでしょう。
終始お気楽な雰囲気が流れていた船上でも、この説明の時だけはピリッとしていました。
でも、それが逆に心強かったです。しっかりスタッフがサポートしてくれるので、泳げる方であればぜひ挑戦してみてください。
シュノーケリングの前にサンドバーウォーキングなので、この時に自分は泳げるのか軽く泳いでチェックしておくと良いかも知れませんね。

はじめはコツをつかむまで呼吸がうまく出来ずちょっと恐怖心もありましたが
慣れてくるとサンゴや海中を泳ぐ魚をしっかり見て楽しむことができました。
水中カメラを持参したのですが、泳ぎながら魚を撮影するのは難しいですね。
ちなみに私は日本から防水の写ルンですを持参しましたが、船上でも販売していました。
また、サンドバーウォーキング中にスタッフが一眼レフカメラで撮影をしてくれ、最後にそれをプリントして販売もありました。
ちなみに防水機能つきカメラであればスタッフに渡して撮ってもらうことも可能です。

このツアーの目玉でもあるBBQランチはチキンとチリビーンズがとても美味しくおかわりしちゃいました。
かなりたっぷり用意してあるのでおかわりガツガツしても大丈夫そうでした。
スタッフがフラダンスを踊ってくれたり、食事をしてるといつの間にかウミガメが船に寄ってきていたり、和やかな雰囲気で楽しいひと時を過ごせました。
行き帰りホテルまでの送迎つきですので、水着の上に上着を羽織る程度の身軽な服装で参加可能です。
荷物も最小限、タオルと日焼け止め、防水カメラに少しのお金(写真の販売などもあるので)というくらいで大丈夫です。
ビーチサンダルは船に乗る前に脱いでまとめてコンテナに入れて置いていきます。
リーフシューズを用意しようかとちょっと迷いましたが結局持っていきませんでした。
ほとんどの方は裸足です。足にケガをしていたり、ケガの不安のある方は用意を検討しても良いかと思います。
この日は水深があり完全なサンドバーではなかったからかも知れませんが、裸足で歩いても痛いということはなかったです。
船上では荷物は席の下のコンテナに入れておきます。コンテナは共同で使うので、口の閉まるビニールバッグなどがあると便利です。
シュノーケリング後はかなり体が冷えるので上着は必須です。

またハワイに行く機会があれば絶対参加したいです！
今回はスケジュールの都合上、水深の深い日になってしまいましたが、今度はきれいに出現したサンドバーを歩きたいですね。
そしてその時もまた今回と同じ明るく楽しいスタッフで。
見た目は完全な外国人、でも日本語ペラペラでジョークばかりの陽気なスタッフDさん、大ファンになりました！
素敵なハワイでの思い出をありがとうございました！マハロ！
