All Reviews for Oahu Snorkeling Tours

I was picked up around 8:30 AM. Unfortunately, we couldn't land at the sandbar because it was close to high tide, but we walked about 100 meters, and the staff took many commemorative photos for us. Since most of the participants were Japanese, I felt quite at ease. The coral was very beautiful, and snorkeling, where we also got to see sea turtles, was a lot of fun! (*^^*)

朝8：30ごろピックアップしていただきました。サンドバーは満潮に近い時間だったため、残念ながら上陸はできませんでしたが100メートルほど歩いて行き、スタッフの方が記念写真を沢山撮って下さいました。殆どの参加者が日本人だったため、安心感がかなりありました。また珊瑚がとても美しく、ウミガメにも会えたシュノーケルはとっても楽しかったです(*^^*)

The shuttle service was very loose with timing. The content was wonderful, and the instructors, staff, and food were all very good. It's a shame that they didn't say anything about the delays in the shuttle service.

送迎時間がとてもル-ズでした。内容は素晴らしく　インストラクタ-、スタツフ　食べ物もとてもよかつた　送迎が遅れても何も言わないし残念。

Awesome adventure! Truly enjoyed being on a boat being overseen by experienced and helpful staff. Saw turtles and dolphins and snorkled as they swam around us. Great lunch too

I had the pleasure of using Dolphin University. In a word, it was amazing! We were blessed with good weather, got to visit the sacred site of Makua, met dolphins, and saw sea turtles, making it an unforgettable experience. The staff, including class representative Sue, were very accommodating, and I had a lot of fun! I will definitely participate in Manta University next time! Thank you!

イルカ大学利用させていただきました。
一言で言うと最高でした！
天候にも恵まれ聖地マクアにもいけて、イルカにも会えて、ウミガメにも会えて文句なしで1番いい思い出になりました。
学級委員のスーさんをはじめスタッフの方の対応もよく凄く楽しかったです！ぜひつぎはマンタ大学に参加します！！ありがとうございました！

I had an amazing time. I was impressed by the hospitality of the staff. The kids said it was the most fun among all the optional tours they participated in. I think this tour offers great value for the price.

めちゃめちゃ楽しかったです。スタッフの方のホスピタリティに脱帽。子供たちもいろいろ参加したオプションツアーの中で一番楽しかったそうです。
このツアーはコスパーはとても良いと思います。

I participated with my wife and middle school children. First of all, I was impressed by how clear the water was. From the boat heading to the snorkeling point, I could see the colors of the tropical fish close to the surface. Upon arriving at the point, we first experienced the underwater scooter. A little diving required pinching my nose to equalize, but after that, it was just a matter of turning the throttle on and off. The divers adjusted the direction and distance from the surface as needed, making it easy to operate. Being close to the surface and having the divers nearby made it reassuring to enjoy the underwater experience. We had a net with pieces of bread attached to the front of the scooter, which attracted the fish. I had done experience diving and snorkeling before, but this was the first time I was surrounded by fish so closely that my view was almost blocked. The diver signaled for us to look down, and when I did, I saw a large sea turtle leisurely resting on the seabed. After finishing with the scooter, we soon boarded a rubber boat and moved to a shallow point closer to the open sea. I thought it was better described as shallow rather than a sandbar. When I asked the guide, they said it was around the time between high and low tide, so the water was about knee-deep. The sand was beautiful, and the water above it sparkled, making just walking around enjoyable. It was my first time trying stand-up paddleboarding, and it was more challenging to balance while standing than I had expected. The two hours flew by. The pleasant breeze, clear water, many beautiful fish, and the sparkling sand in the shallow area created an extraordinary experience that still comes to mind when I close my eyes.

妻と中学生の子供たちと参加しました。まず、水がとても澄んでいて感動。スノーケルポイントに向かうボートから、水面に近づく熱帯魚たちの色がよく見えました。ポイントに着くと、最初に水中スクーターを体験。少し潜ったところで鼻をつまんでの耳抜きが必要でしたが、あとはアクセルのオンオフだけで、ダイバーの方々が進む方向や水面からの距離も都度調整してくれ簡単に操作できました。水面から近く、ダイバーの方が側にいてくれるので安心して水中を楽しめました。パンの切れ端の入ったネットをスクーターの前につけていて、魚達がそこを目指して集まってきます。体験ダイビングやスノーケルをやったことはありましたが、これほど、至近距離で、視界がふさがるくらい魚たちに囲まれたのは初めてでした。ダイバーの方が下を見てと合図してくれ、下を見ると大きなウミガメが海底にのんびり沈んでいました。スクーターを終え、しばらくすると、ボートからゴムボートに乗り込み、沖に近い遠浅のポイントに移動。サンドバーというより遠浅といったほうがいいかと思いました。ガイドさんに聞くと満潮と干潮の間くらいとのことで、水は膝くらいありました。砂がきれいで、その上の水がきらきらしていて歩いているだけで楽しかったです。スタンドアップパドルは初めてで、思っていた以上に立ってバランスをとるのが難しかったです。あっという間の２時間でした。心地いい風、透き通った水、たくさんのきれいな魚達、遠浅で見たきらきら輝く砂。目をつぶると今でも浮かぶ非日常体験でした。

I participated because it had been my dream since childhood to swim with wild dolphins. I had to wear a life jacket the whole time, which was a bit disappointing compared to what I imagined a dolphin swim would be like, but I was moved when I heard the dolphins' voices and when they swam right underneath me. There were also many turtles that I could see up close, which was great. One downside was that the tour guide was a bit too talkative, which bothered me and made me feel uncomfortable during my time in Hawaii. There’s room for improvement, ◯-san... Also, it might be a bit tough for those who can't swim. The malasadas from Leonard's were delicious!

野生のイルカと泳ぐのが子どもの時からの夢だったので参加しました。ライフジャケットをずっと着用してなければいけないため、ドルフィンスイムを想像していくと少々期待はずれですがイルカの声が聞こえたりすぐ真下を通ったときは感動しました。カメもたくさんいて間近で見られ、とても良かったです。ひとつ残念だったのはツアーガイド?の方が、いつも一言多くていちいち勘に触ったので、ハワイに来て嫌な気分になりました。◯ーさん、改善の余地ありです…あと泳げない人は若干ツラいツアーかも。レナーズのマラサダおいしかった！

It was an awesome experience for my children and myself....to see the turtles was incredible and I would not hesitate to recommend to other families:)

I thought the first boat would have a better encounter rate, but it was full, so we took the second boat. We departed the port after eating malasadas.

It took quite a while to reach the point where the dolphins were, but since it was summer vacation, there were seven children under 12 on board. Thanks to that, we were able to try three times and see dolphins each time, which was great. To be honest, it felt more like watching the dolphins swim underwater rather than swimming with them.

I wore a long-sleeved rash guard, so I didn't rent a wetsuit, but after getting out of the water and heading to the next point, it was a bit chilly.

There was a place to store luggage under the seats on the boat, but in some spots, people got soaked from the waves.

After that, we moved to a snorkeling point where we could see turtles and tried canoeing and stand-up paddleboarding. The stand-up paddleboarding felt more like paddling calmly on the sea like a canoe rather than riding the waves, and it seemed difficult to stand on the board.

On the way back, we had cheeseburgers. Along the way, we were also served warm tea, snacks, and juice.

Since we tried three times, there was no time to change, so everyone got on the bus in their swimsuits to return to the hotel. The air conditioning on the bus was very strong, and it was cold. Usually, it seems that people change in a spacious restroom.

Some experiences mention a strict guide, but we had a Japanese male guide who was very good.

第１便の方が遭遇率が良いのかと思いましたが、満員で第２便の出発となりました。
マラサダを食べてから港を出発。

イルカのいるポイントまで随分かかりましたが、この日夏休みと言うこともあり12歳以下の子供が７人もいると言う話でしたが、おかげで３回もチャレンジして頂き３回ともイルカを見ることが出来て良かったです。
正直一緒に泳ぐと言うかは水中でイルカが泳いでいるのを見ると言った感じでした。

私は長袖のラッシュガードを着用して行ったのでウェットスーツはレンタルしませんでしたが、海から上がりまた次のポイントまで船を走らせると少し肌寒かったです。

手荷物は船の座席の下にしまう場所がありましたが場所によっては波がかかりずぶ濡れになってる人もいました。

その後カメに会えるシュノーケルポイントに移動しカヌーやスタンダップ・パドルボードに挑戦。
スタンダップパドルは波に乗ると言うよりカヌーの様に穏やかな海の上を漕ぐだけでしたがボードに立つのが難しい様でした。

そして帰りながらチーズバーガーを頂きました。途中温かいお茶やスナック菓子やジュースも出ました。

今回は３回もチャレンジしたので時間が無く着替える時間も無かったので、皆水着のままバスに乗りホテルに帰りました。
バスの中はクーラーがガンガンに効いてて寒かったです。
普段は広めのトイレで着替えるようです。

体験談の中には厳しい口調のガイドだった事も書かれていますが、私達は日本人男性のガイドさんでとても良かったです。

I participated with my 11-year-old daughter. That day, we were blessed with good weather and were able to see many dolphins, tropical fish, and sea turtles. Both my daughter and I were very satisfied with the tour. Since my daughter had been taking swimming lessons, she didn't have any resistance to the water, but when it came to wearing fins, putting on a mask, and jumping off the boat with the group, it seemed that my 11-year-old daughter was a bit hesitant at first. Now, it has become a wonderful memory. The staff were also very kind, making it a fantastic tour.

11歳の娘と参加させて頂きました。その日は、天気にも恵まれ、沢山のイルカや、熱帯魚、海ガメを見る事が出来、娘ともども大満足のツアーでした。
娘は、水泳を習っていたので水に対してのて抵抗はなかったんですが、ヒィンを履き、水中メガネを付け、グループの方々と船がら飛びおりるのには、11歳の娘も初めは、少し戸惑いがあったようです。
今となっては、楽しい思い出になりましたが〜
スタッフの方々もとても優しく、素敵なツアーでした。

You can swim with dolphins! It's tougher than you might imagine because they are wild animals. There are many challenging aspects, but it was a great tour that provided a lot of enjoyment.

イルカと一緒に泳げます！
想像以上に泳げないと厳しいです。だって相手が野生なので。
色々と厳しいポイントも多いですが、色々と楽しませてくれるいいツアーでした。

The sea was not as beautiful as I expected, and there were too many Japanese staff and customers, so it didn't feel foreign at all. However, the staff were kind, and the lunch was delicious.

思ったより海もきれくなくて、スタッフも日本人でお客さんも日本人多すぎて外国感がなかったです。
でもスタッフも優しく昼食はおいしかったです。

I had a great time! In beach volleyball, I was able to assist well and forgot my age while mingling with the young people. I also got to see turtles and there were many beautiful fish, which was wonderful.

楽しめました!!ビーチバレーでは、アシストが上手く若者に混じって年を忘れさせてくれました。亀も見れたし、キレイな魚も沢山いてたし、良かったです。

The experience at the sandbar was precious, but I was surprised when a sea turtle came close while I was snorkeling. I also had a great time trying paddle surfing! Next time, I want to participate with my family!

サンドバーでの体験も貴重ですが、シュノーケリングをして、すぐそばまでウミガメが近づいてきてくるのにはびっくりしました。また、パドルサーフィンの体験もさせて頂きとっても楽しかったです！！今度は家族でも参加したいです！！

We have snorkeled at the circular-shaped shore of Hanauma Bay on the southeast tip of East Honolulu, you can imagine how this beautiful cove was once a volcanic crater. Today, this crater, likely flooded by wave erosion, is home to an important nature preserve and the island's most popular snorkeling destination.

Our snorkeling trip was arranged by Hawaiiactivities.com and they were quite professional people with prompt responses and is very customer oriented. They arranged Mr. Dan to train us snorkeling. Mr. Dan is best instructor you can have in Honolulu as he explained every steps in a legible and understandable way. He has snorkled with us for many hours.

Whether you’re snorkeling a natural or artificial reef, at the beach or along the mangroves, you’ll discover amazing underwater creatures. Look at (but don’t touch) the vibrant yellow and red coral canyons and purple sea fans swaying in the ocean’s current. Coral is actually alive and it’s extremely delicate. Touching coral is detrimental to its health and can also be dangerous. It’s actually related to the jellyfish and can provide a sharp sting, burn, or cut when touched. A good rule of thumb is to stay in water that’s at least six feet deep while snorkeling over coral.

Look for tropical fish including yellowtail snapper, parrotfish, angelfish, blue tang, grouper, and hogfish. We have come across with Turtle who is is not afraid to swim with us. With such a thriving and diverse ecosystem, there’s nearly as much to discover underwater in Hawaii as there is on land!

Dan took pictures with his under water camera. It was lots of fun. Dan brought snacks, drinks, etc. too. On the way back Dan shared lot of information on best shows and tours in Hawaii. We had a great time and will definitely go again if I'm ever in Hawaii.

This was my first time snorkeling and I came from Canada to visit Hawaii. It was a beautiful experience just because we have a great instructor Mr. Dan through Hawaiiactivities.com. We came to know him through this website. Dan started with all basic instruction and shown all steps for snorkeling in detail. He has snorkeled with us and kept my kids together and safe.


It was a magic day of snorkelling in the biggest coral reef on earth. Thousands of colorful fish in the warm water. Thanks a lot to Dan You're part of memories of a life time.

Dan brought all safety devices and snorkeling equipment. He adjusted the equipment to fit very well with each of us. As my kids were not good at swimming, Dan took much patience to train them. He brought mats and drinks to relax before getting into sea.

I saw dozens of very large angelfish, parrotfish (Blue, Queen, and Stoplight), as well as many species of damselfish and butterfly fish, Sergeant Majors, Yellowtail Snapper, and I even saw a Longspine Squirrelfish! It was an absolutely perfect day.

The water was very clear. At one point I was surrounded by hundreds of fishes all swimming calmly in one direction (schooling). All of a sudden they parted (odd, because I had been swimming with them for several minutes without them seeming to notice), and I saw the most awesome and colorful fish I've ever seen in my life swim 5 ft directly under me! I thought about was how every now and then you hear stories about HUGE catfish the size of Buicks at the bottom of deep lakes.


That being said, you can imagine my initial hesitation on the day of my snorkelling experience at I might have started out a little nervous, but I can tell you right now—it ended up being my absolute favorite experience on the trip.

Timely pick-up, great folks, and tasty food. Oh, and did I mention dolphins! I thoroughly enjoyed myself and can say that this is by far the best dolphin snorkel I've been on. I got my gear within 5 minutes of check-in and put in my lunch choice. Dolphin Excursions is an educationally based tour company and some of the people there are marine biologists. They seemed to read the behavior of the dolphins very well. The baby spinner dolphins are super cute! This is a great time of year because the dolphins are having babies so they are fun to watch. We went out about 3 times to snorkel, twice with the dolphins so close. I have never seen so many dolphins with me in the water, and you can even hear them 'singing' before you see them. When we got back, lunch was already made. The food is great at Spinner's Cafe, and the people are courteous. I had a great time and can say that many others did as well.

We had a great time. The staff was friendly, informative and helped settled the nerves of those that needed it. We were able to see sea turtles which was amazing. We saw, touched and fed the tropical fish. They took pictures of us underwater as well which will become a nice memory keepsake. A must do when visiting the island of O'ahu and so worth the money that we spent.

I had learned about the sandbar from magazines and television, and I was really looking forward to visiting it at least once. Initially, I had signed up with a different tour company, but since it was fully booked, I switched to this tour, and it was the right decision. The sandbar, with its white sand emerging from the marine blue sea, was even more beautiful and mystical than I had imagined. It felt very strange to be walking on the water. The sea turtles swimming leisurely were adorable. Above all, the crew made a strong impression. They were friendly, cheerful, energetic, and had wonderful smiles, just like the sun and sea of Hawaii. There was an old man with white hair and a bald head among us guests, and they seemed to feel sorry for him, treating him with care. Thank you, Yukiko. I will come to see you again, so please remember me.

雑誌やテレビでサンドバーを知り、一度は行ってみたいと思っていましたのでとても楽しみにしていました。当初は別のツアー会社に申し込みましたが満員ということでこちらのツアーに変えたのですが、大正解でした。サンドバーはマリンブルーの海の中に白い砂が現れて想像以上に美しく神秘的、海の上を歩いている感じがとても不思議でした。ウミガメはのんびりと泳いでる姿が愛らしかった。なんといっても印象的だったクルーのみんな。フレンドリーで明るくて元気、笑顔がとても素敵な、ハワイの太陽と海のようなクルーたちでした。私たちゲストの中で浮いていた白髪とはげのおじさん、かわいそうに思ったのでしょう、介護してくれるように接してくれました、ゆきこさんありがとう。また会いに行きますので覚えていてくださいね。

The staff were friendly, and I was able to have a great time. I enjoyed both the sandbar and snorkeling. Thank you.

スタッフがフレンドリーで楽しいひと時を過ごすことができました。
サンドバーも、シュノーケルも楽しめました。
ありがとう。

Not only did they take us to the beautiful Angel's Sea, but the tour guides also kept the atmosphere lively with their talks during the cruise, which made it so much fun. Snorkeling in the stunningly beautiful sea was an incredible experience! Next time, I want to try a tour that allows for even more marine sports!

ただ天使の海へ連れて行ってくれるだけでなく、クルージング中も添乗員の方々がトークで盛り上げてくれてとっても楽しめました。綺麗すぎる海でのシュノーケリングは楽しすぎて…！！次回はもっとマリンスポーツを楽しめるツアーにチャレンジしてみたくなりました！

Originally, I wanted to join a private charter boat tour, but I couldn't make a reservation, so I participated in this tour instead. However, the boat for this tour was larger, which meant it had a restroom and we could take breaks during snorkeling. Since I was with my children, I ended up thinking it was a good choice. For lunch, I enjoyed a hamburger that was grilled on the boat, customized with my favorite toppings. The burger I made was delicious, and I was very satisfied. The scenery was, of course, amazing, and swimming with sea turtles made it the best tour ever.

本当は、貸し切りのチャーター船ツアーで参加したかったんですが、予約出来ずこちらのツアーで参加させて頂きました。
でも、こちらのツアーの船の方が、大きい船だったので、トイレもあり、シュノーケリングの途中でも、休憩出来たりと、子供達との参加だったので、結果、良かったなと思いました。
お昼ご飯には、船上で焼いてくれたハンバーグを自分の好みの具と一緒に挟んで頂きました。
自分で、作ったハンバーガー美味しくて大満足でした。
景色は、もちろん、海ガメと一緒に泳げたりと最高のツアーでした。

We signed up as a family of four with our 4-year-old and 7-year-old children. At Angel's Beach, the water was shallow enough for our 4-year-old to enjoy safely. The clarity of the seawater was so remarkable that it showed clearly in our phone photos.

The BBQ hamburgers for lunch were well-seasoned, and even our picky eaters enjoyed them, happily declaring them delicious!

Snorkeling took place in quite deep water, but the kids quickly got used to their life jackets, which they were initially scared of, and ended up having a great time. We were also able to see several sea turtles, which was very satisfying.

Since our guide was Japanese, the explanations were very clear, and they provided thorough information about the ocean, which can be intimidating. This was our first time in Hawaii, and we are glad we signed up for this experience.

４歳と７歳の子供と、夫婦の４人で申し込みしました。
天使の海では、４歳の子供でも足のつく位の深さで、十分に楽しめました。
海水の綺麗さは、携帯の写真で撮ってもはっきりわかるほどです。
昼食のBBQハンバーグも、ハンバーグにしっかり味がついていて、ソースなどの好き嫌いの多い子供も、美味しい！と喜んで食べていました。
シュノーケリングは、とても深い所で行われましたが、初めてつけたライフジャケットで、初めは怯えていた子供達もすぐに慣れて、楽しむことが出来ました。
ウミガメも何匹も見ることが出来て、大満足です。
案内の方が日本人の方だったので、とても分かりやすく、怖い海のこともしっかりと説明してくれました。
初めてのハワイでしたが、申し込んで良かったです。

I took my sixth grader with me.

I've been on the Heaven's Sea tour before, but if you want to relax, I think this tour is better! My child seemed to really enjoy snorkeling ^o^

For children under kindergarten age, if they are not very comfortable in the water, snorkeling might be scary and difficult. There were some kids crying, and we also cried when we were little.

It seems that snorkeling in areas where they can't touch the bottom feels frightening.

小学6年生を連れて行きました。

天国の海ツアーにも行ったことがありますが、のんびりしたいのであれば、こちらのツアーの方が良いと思います！
子供はシュノーケリングがとても楽しかったようです^o^

幼稚園以下のお子さんだと、相当水に慣れていないとシュノーケリングは怖くて無理かもしれません。
泣いている子がいましたし、うちも小さい頃は同じように泣いていました。

足が届かないところでシュノーケリングをするのが恐怖に感じるようです。

I participated on 8/11 because I heard that there are fewer people on Mondays than on Sundays. That said, there were still quite a few people... but definitely fewer than at Waikiki Beach.

Upon arrival, we received about 20 minutes of explanation regarding lockers, rental equipment, and lunch, and then we were free to explore. The staff was fluent in Japanese, friendly, and had a great attitude, which made for a pleasant experience.

This time, I went with the purpose of enjoying the ocean, so I didn't go into town. (On a different day, I joined a tour to the North Shore and Kailua, where I did some shopping and had Kimo's pancakes.) If you're considering shopping in town, you might find that there's not enough time.

I thought about renting a bike to go to Lanikai Beach, but it became a bit of a hassle, so I ended up staying at Kailua Beach the whole time. However, I didn't have any trouble filling my time; I took naps on the sandy beach and walked along the coast.

For lunch, I had a meat plate lunch. It was simple, but the meat was tender and delicious!

日曜より月曜のほうが人が少ないという噂だったので、8/11に参加しました。
とはいえ、やはりだいぶ人はいましたが・・・。
ワイキキビーチよりは断然少なかったです。

現地に到着、ロッカーや貸出器具、昼食について20分ほど説明を受け、すぐに自由行動。対応スタッフは日本語がペラペラで愛想もノリも良く、気持ちのいい対応でした。

今回は海を目的に行ったので、街には行きませんでした。
（別日に、ノースショア＆カイルアのツアーに参加し、そちらで買い物やキモズのパンケーキを食べました。）
街で買い物も、と考えると、少し時間がたりないかもしれません。

自転車を借りてラニカイビーチまで行こうかとも思ったのですが、ちょっと面倒になり、結局ずっとカイルアビーチにいました、でも砂浜で昼寝をしたり、海岸をずっと歩いて行ってみたり・・・時間を持て余すことは無かったです。

お昼はお肉のプレートランチにしました。
シンプルですが、お肉が柔らかくておいしかった！

First day at Iruka University! This time, the staff was very energetic and taught us a lot about the ocean, so thank you for the enjoyable time!

When searching for dolphins, we were ready to go as soon as we spotted them! At first, it felt a bit intense until we got used to it, but they really helped us encounter wild dolphins, and we were able to see a large pod with our own eyes. When I submerged my ears in the water, I could clearly hear the dolphins' calls, which was incredibly exciting!

At Ryugu Castle, a wild honu (sea turtle) came within 50 centimeters, and I was so thrilled to be able to touch it! I was desperately trying to stay still on the surface, but the honu gracefully dove without touching me, making it a very rare experience! On the boat, there was no time to be bored, and I had a fulfilling and fun day. I definitely want to participate again next time!

One disappointing thing was that there were professional photographers taking pictures, and when I purchased the data ($60), I received photos of all participants, but I had fewer pictures than other families. It felt a bit disappointing since I paid the same amount as others. I think participants should definitely approach the photographers and ask for more photos!

いるか大学初登校！今回はスタッフの皆さんとても元気で海のあれこれたくさん教えてもらって楽しぃ時間をありがとうございました！
イルカ探しは、見つけ次第すぐスタンバイ！慣れるまでスパルタ感に思ってしまいましたが(^^)野生のイルカとの遭遇に一生懸命引っ張って行ってくださってしっかりイルカの大群を目で見られたし海中に耳を浸けているとキューキューキューてイルカの鳴き声もしっかり聞けて大感激⭐︎^o^
竜宮城では野生のホヌさんが50センチの近距離まできて触れたらヤバイ！って必死に水面でじっとしていたのですがホヌさんが、スゥーッと触れることなく無事潜ってくれたり〜とっても貴重な体験が出来ました！船の上ではぼーっとしてる暇はなくとても充実した楽しい1日を過ごせました、次もまた参加したいですね！
残念なのは一つプロカメラマン方もいらっしゃって撮ってくださっていたのですが、データ購入（60ドル）してみてみたら参加者全員のデータをいただきましたが他の家族の撮影枚数より少なく、他の方と同じ額払ってるのに…と少し残念な感じでした。参加される方は、ぜひぜひ積極的にカメラマンに近寄って撮ってもらった方が得！と思います^_^

I think the overall experience was very good. The sea was beautiful, and it wasn't inconvenient at all even though I couldn't speak English. However, the waiting times were too long, and since it was a vacation, I hope there will be less time spent just waiting around doing nothing. If it weren't for that, I would be very satisfied.

形態的にはとても良かったと思います。海もきれいだったし、英語も話せなくても全然不便ではなかったです。だが、待ち時間が長すぎて、せっかくのバケーションなので、なんにもなくぼーっと待つ時間が少なくなると良いと思います。それがなければ、満足です。

The captain is really good at finding the surface of the sea where the dolphins are! When we spotted them, we jumped in, and after the group swam away, we moved the boat... we repeated this three times. It was truly moving. We even saw baby dolphins and dolphins playing and spinning around.

After that, we moved again to meet the sea turtles, but unfortunately, there were only tropical fish... Still, we enjoyed seeing pufferfish, horse mackerel, and colorful fish. It's nature, so it can't be helped! I'm glad we got to see them at the North Shore beach (laughs).

On the way back, we waited at the port for about an hour for the shuttle bus to arrive, possibly because the road was congested. But thanks to that, all our swimsuits dried, and we were able to take a nap in the shade and have lunch at a nearby cafeteria. I recommend the lunch at the blue building! However, for those who were in a hurry, it must have been a frustrating hour...

Next, I might challenge myself to university!

とにかく船長が、イルカのいる海面を見つけるのが上手い！！
いたら飛び込んで、また群れが去ったらボートで移動して…を3回繰り返しました。
本っっ当に感動します。赤ちゃんイルカや、クルクル回って遊ぶイルカも見れました。

その後はまた移動してウミガメに会いに行ったんですが、残念ながら熱帯魚しかおらず…それでもフグや鯵、カラフルな魚と楽しめましたp(^_^)q
自然相手なので仕方ないですよね☆ノースショアのビーチで見ておいて良かった（笑）

帰りは道が混んでいたのか、送迎バスが到着するまで小一時間港で待ちました。でもそのお陰で全部水着も乾いたし、木陰でお昼寝、近くのカフェテリアでランチまでできちゃいましたp(^_^)qブルーの建物のランチ、お勧めです！
でも、焦っていた人にとっては、じれったい1時間だったでしょう…

つぎは大学にチャレンジしようかな♪(´ε｀ )

We enjoyed the time we had on this cruise. The staff, food and boat were great. The only issue we had was with another passenger who would push, shove and step on everyone around him. There were also tons of pictures of him on the available USB for sale and only handfuls of all the other passengers. The cruise we definitely recommend, the rude passenger could have been left on shore.

One of the places I definitely wanted to visit when I went to Hawaii, so I did some research and signed up for this tour. Since it seemed to be a region where it rains often, I prepared myself for rain, but we were blessed with great weather and were able to enjoy the wonderful scenery.

At Heaven's Sea, not only could we enjoy the views, but there was also a hula dance lesson, which was a lot of fun.

After returning to the boat for lunch, while we were enjoying our meal, a sea turtle swam around the boat, and my child was so excited. As soon as we got into the water, the sea turtle approached us, and we got to touch its belly! It was truly an amazing experience.

My older child (a second grader) tried snorkeling but seemed to get scared when he saw how deep the water suddenly became, so he turned back midway. However, I think it was satisfying enough to enjoy the experience without having to snorkel.

ハワイに行ったら絶対行ってみたい場所の一つだったので、いろいろと下調べをして、このツアーに申し込みました。雨がよく降る地域のようだったので、雨が降ることを覚悟して参加しましたが、天気に恵まれすばらしい景色を堪能することができました。
天国の海では景色を堪能するだけでなく、フラダンスのレッスンがあったりして楽しめました。
船に戻ってランチでしたが、おいしくいただいているときにウミガメが船の周りをぐるぐると泳いでいて、子どもと大興奮でした。すぐに海に降りるとウミガメの方から近づいてきてくれて、おなかにタッチ！本当にすばらしい体験でした。
上の子（小学2年生）はシュノーケリングに挑戦しましたが、急に深くなっている海の中をみて怖くなったらしく、途中で引き返してきました。特にシュノーケリングをしなくても楽しめたので、無理に体験しなくても十分満足できると思います。
