Captain Bob's Kaneohe Sandbar Snorkeling Tour & BBQ Lunch with Waikiki Pickup

Great to get out of Waikiki!

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

This was my second time on Oahu, and the first trip I mostly spent all my time in and around Waikiki. This tour was great in that it got me all the way to the other side of the island for a change of pace.

That side of the island....they called it Kaneohe Bay I think, man, it was beautiful. The water was so clear, and I got to see all kinds of fish I had never seen before too.

I didn't want to spend a ton of money either, and so this was a good deal for the price, as lunch was part of it...and tasted good too! The people were nice and helpful, and the sandbar was probably my favorite part. Good tour.

Premium Ko Olina Snorkel Cruise with Dolphin Watching, Lunch Buffet & Drinks - Ocean Joy Cruises

GREAT DOLPHIN WATCH CRUISE!!!

Reviewed by: Ms Rosie

We seen so many dolphins and we were even fortunate enough to see Bottlenose Dolphins which are much much bigger than the frequent spinner dolphins. Bottlenose Dolphins do not come around the islands very often so this was a real treat, maybe even a once in a lifetime opportunity!!

The crew was very friendly and they held my sister's hand in the water because she is afraid of sea animals. But ONCE she put her mask on and placed her head under the water, it was a whole different world for her filled with beautiful colored fish and a huge reef system that surrounded her.

Wonderful crew, Tasty food, everyone on-board was really friendly and after a nice dip out in the deep blue ocean, you are treated to an open bar. Great Stuff! Thank you Hawaiiactivities.com and Ocean Joy Cruises for a wonderful dolphin watch and cruise!

Sandbar and sea turtle snorkeling サンドバーとウミガメシュノーケル

Reviewed by: びび

On June 21st, a bus picked us up at the hotel at 8:30 AM. Several couples boarded the bus from the same meeting point. After that, we visited three locations with a total of 18 passengers heading to our destination. Along the way, we made a five-minute restroom stop at a park near the destination, and then we arrived at the intended port.

With two buses, we had a total of 45 people boarding the boat. The crew was mostly Japanese, so there were no language concerns. The captain in the yellow T-shirt in the first photo is Mr. Hasegawa. After leaving the port, the boat took almost ten minutes to reach the sandbar. It was so close that there was no time to get seasick. During that time, our guide, Izumi, provided various instructions. Just before we arrived at our destination, we encountered a swimming turtle. I spotted three turtles.

When we arrived at the destination, it looked like this... (fourth photo)! Due to the tides, it may not always be possible to visit at low tide. This time, the water was about knee-deep. We walked around for about 20 minutes before returning to the boat, where half of the group went snorkeling while the rest had a meal. We were part of the meal group. There was more food than we could eat, and everyone was more than satisfied with the amount.

When we started snorkeling, a baby sea turtle approached us. It seemed accustomed to humans and climbed onto the guide's bodyboard. After that, it swam around us.

The snorkeling around the coral had a limited number of fish, which might be a bit disappointing for experienced divers. Since we were wearing life jackets, we couldn't dive.

The snorkeling lasted about 15 minutes. After that, we returned to the boat and headed back to the port.

During that time, the only girl on the boat was chosen by the captain to hold the helm next to him. She seemed nervous, but it was a great experience for her.

While not everything was perfect, the guides had a genuine desire to entertain us, making it an enjoyable tour. It would have been even better if the weather had been nice.

6月21日朝8時半にホテルにピックアップのバスが来た。
同じ集合場所からは数組みのカップルの方がバスに乗り込んだ。その後3か所を回り18名の乗員で目的地に向かった。
途中、トイレ休憩で目的地そばの公園に5分ぐらい止まり、
その後目的の港に着いた。
2台のバスで総勢45名になり船に乗り込んだ。
クルーはほぼ日本人の方々で言葉は心配ない。
1枚目の写真の黄色のTシャツのキャプテンは長谷川さんと言う。
船は港を出た後・・・目的地のサンドバーまでほぼ10分。
船酔いなどしている暇もないぐらい近い。
その間、ガイドのいずみさんが色々諸注意を話してくれた。
目的地に着く寸前、カメが泳いでいるのに遭遇。私は3頭のカメを見つけた。
目的地に着き降りるとこんな感じ・・・4枚目!干満の関係で100%干潮時に行けない場合もあると言う事だ。
今回は膝の下ぐらいでした。
散歩を20分ぐらいして船に戻り、半分の方がシュノーケル。残りの人は食事となった。我々は食事の組み。
食事は食べきれないほどあり、だれもが十分満足できる量だった。
次にシュノーケルを始める時、子どものウミガメが我々に近寄ってきた。
人間に慣れているようで、ガイドの方のボディーボードへ乗っかってきた。
その後、我々の周りを回っていた。

サンゴの周辺のシュノーケルは魚影はこの程度でもぐった体験者にはちょっと物足りないかな?
ライフジャケットを着ているので・・・潜る事は出来ない。

シューノーケルは15分ぐらいだったかな?
その後船に戻って港に戻った。

その際、船に一人しかいなかった娘が船長に指名されて、
キャプテンの横で舵を持たせてもらった。
本人は緊張していたようだが・・・よい経験をさせていただきました。

全てOKではないが、ガイドの方々の楽しませようという気持ちがあり。楽しめるツアーになっている。
天気が良ければもっと良いだろう。

Wild Dolphin & Sea Turtle Snorkeling Cruise 野生のイルカ&ウミガメ シュノーケリング・クルーズ

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

The prestigious Dolphin University was amazing. Thank you to all the staff for their thoughtfulness.

I was unsure which cruise to choose, but I'm glad I went with Dolphin University.

The boat had a roof, so I wasn't exposed to direct sunlight, and after swimming in the ocean, it was nice to have warm tea served if I got cold. I appreciated that a lot. They took photos and sold them on DVD, so I didn't even need to bring my camera, which made it convenient.

We were lucky with the weather, and I felt like around 50 dolphins swam beneath me.

The turtles and yellow fish were also cute and fun. I will definitely participate again when I go to Hawaii!

名門イルカ大学最高でした。たくさんのスタッフの方の気遣いありがとうございました。

海でのクルーズでどれにしようか迷いましたが、イルカ大学にしてよかったです。

船に屋根があったので直射日光が当たらないし、海に入った後寒くなったら暖かいお茶が出てきたり、とてもありがたかったです。写真を撮ってくれてDVDで販売してくれるのでカメラも持って行かずにすみ楽でした。

天気にも恵まれ50頭ぐらいはイルカが私の下を泳いで行ったように思えます。

亀や黄色い魚もかわいくて楽しかったです。
またハワイに行ったら絶対参加します!!

It was amazing!!! 最高でした!!!

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I participated with a group. It was far from Waikiki, and since it was early in the morning, I originally didn't plan to go, but one of the members wanted to, so I joined them. I had seen reviews mentioning that there might be times when you don't encounter dolphins, so I thought I would enjoy snorkeling even if it didn't work out, and I participated without expectations. However, it was far more enjoyable than I had imagined.

Instead of a snorkeling experience where you lure fish with feeding, I was able to see real wild fish, and above all, I encountered a surprising number of dolphins and sea turtles. When I was peering into the ocean, I was so engrossed that I lost track of time. I made wonderful memories on my first trip to Hawaii.

Since it was early in the morning, most people were fast asleep on the way back, but we were able to return to Waikiki by early afternoon, so we could enjoy shopping and other activities afterward.

I would definitely like to participate again the next time I come to Hawaii.

グループで参加しました。
ワイキキから遠く、朝早いということもあり、もともと行く予定はなかったのですが、メンバーの一人が行きたいということで付き合いで参加しました。
口コミを見ていて、イルカに出会えないこともあるということでしたので、はずれでもシュノーケルを楽しもうと思い期待せずに参加したのですが、、、。
想像していたのをはるかに超える楽しさでした。
餌付けをして魚をおびき寄せるようなシュノーケルではなく本当の自然の魚たちを見ることができましたし、なによりイルカやウミガメにびっくりするくらいたくさん出会えました。海の中を覗いているときは時間を忘れてしまうぐらい夢中になっていました。
初めてのハワイですごく良い思い出ができました。
朝が早いということもあり、帰りの車ではほとんどの人が爆睡でしたが、お昼過ぎにはワイキキに戻ってくることができるので、そのあともゆっくり買い物などを楽しめます。

次にハワイに来るときには、またぜひ参加したいです。

カイルアビーチ送迎シャトルサービス 嬉しい5時間滞在!ビーチグッズなど各種レンタル付き<日本語スタッフ/ランチ付>

You can freely enjoy Kailua. カイルアを自由に楽しめます

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

We participated as a couple and chose this tour because it offers longer free time compared to other tours, along with a good price and lockers. I had been to Kailua once before, but this time I wanted to visit "Boots & Kimo's," famous for its pancakes, and hoped to explore Kailua Town as well.

After arriving in Kailua, I debated whether to bike or walk, and ultimately decided to walk to Boots & Kimo's, which took about 20 minutes. I got pancakes to-go and enjoyed them for breakfast on the beach, and they were incredibly delicious!

Kailua has such beautiful waters! Waikiki is nice too, but coming here feels completely different. On the day we participated, there were many small waves, which didn't seem ideal for boogie boarding, but my husband was able to see a turtle while swimming. You can also rent snorkeling gear, so I think it's good to check the wave conditions before deciding.

After spending about an hour in Kailua, we rented bikes (Kailua Sailboards & Kayaks offers rentals for tour participants at around $11 each) and headed to the neighboring Lanikai Beach. Lanikai Beach has a milky emerald sea! The beauty of the ocean alone lifts your spirits. The last time I walked to Lanikai Beach, I was exhausted, so I recommend biking instead.

For lunch, we could choose between a boxed lunch or pizza, and I opted for the pizza recommended by the staff. I was surprised at how big it was!

The four hours flew by. With the long free time, we could visit the town and Lanikai, making it a great option for repeat visitors. There are Japanese staff members, and the presence of lockers, restrooms, and changing rooms adds to the overall sense of security, making it a very good experience.

夫婦で参加しましたが、自由時間が他のツアーよりも長い&価格&ロッカー付きということでこちらのツアーに決めました。
以前にも1度カイルアにいったことがありましたが、今回はパンケーキが有名な「ブーツアンドキモズ」にも行ってみたくカイルアタウンにもいけたらなと思っていました。

カイルアに到着後自転車か徒歩か悩んだ末、徒歩でブーツアンドキモズへ行ってみましたが、歩いても20分くらいでした。
パンケーキをTOGOしてビーチで朝食にいただきましたがすごく美味しかったです!!

カイルアはとても綺麗な海です!ワイキキもきれいだけど、こちらに来ると、全然ちがうな~と感じました。
参加した日は小さい波が沢山くるような感じで、ブギーボードはあまり適してなかったように感じましたが、旦那さんは普通に泳いでいたら亀をみれたようです。シュノーケルのセットもレンタルもできるので、波の状態を見てきめるのも良いと思います。
1時間ほどカイルアにいてから、レンタル自転車(カイルアセイルボード&カヤックで、ツアー参加者は1台11ドルくらいで借りれました)を借りて隣のラニカイビーチに行ってきました。
ラニカイビーチのほうが、ミルキーエメラルド!な海です。海が美しくてそれだけでテンションがあがります↑
ラニカイビーチまで、以前行ったときは歩いたのですがヘトヘトになってしまったので、自転車のほうがおすすめです。

ランチはボックスランチかピザが選べましたが、担当の方がお勧めしてくれたピザをチョイス。すごくおおきくてびっくり!!

あっという間の4時間でした。
フリーな時間が長いのでタウンに行ったりラニカイに行ったりもでき、リピーターさんにもお勧めです。
日本人スタッフもいますし、ロッカーやトイレ、更衣室などもしっかりついているので安心度も高くとても良かったです。

It was a wonderful sail and beautiful scenery of Diamond Head, Waikiki and Town. The Captain answered all of my daughter's questions, and let me tell you..SHE HAD A LOT of questions!! She even made friends with another little girl on-board. We didn't snorkel because I am not a great swimmer and the waves looked kinda rough, but its ok...me and my daughter was on the top drinking our Orange and Guave juice and enjoying the breeze, relaxing and taking in the scenery.

The Catamaran was clean, comfortable, and had 2 CLEAN bathrooms on-board (Women and Men). The staff was very friendly, always came around to see how we were doing and offering us anything to drink.. Beautiful way to spend your afternoon.. Well done, Thank you Hawaiiactivities.com and Hawaii Nautical!!

A QUALITY EXPERIENCE 1st CLASS FUN!

Reviewed by: Laura W.

I've been on other snorkeling cruises but was REALLY IMPRESSED with the boat and the crew. The boat was very clean, open and comfortable. Having great his and her bathrooms was a nice plus as well. The crew were fun, informative and professional. They make you feel very comfortable and taken care of. Swimming with the turtles was a total treat. There's a crew member in the water with you the entire time and they are not only looking out for your safety but are answering questions about the fish, turtles and the total area. In addition, they are educating you so you really "swim" away knowing more than when you came. The sailing portion was really relaxing and peaceful. It's great to see Waikiki & Diamond Head Crater from the water and being able to leave on this trip from the Hilton is a real plus. Even the food and snacks were good. I would definitely recommend this trip.

This was a place I absolutely wanted to visit on my first trip to Hawaii. Unfortunately, the weather wasn't very good on the day, and it wasn't the picturesque scenery you see in guidebooks, but I was able to see the sandbar. There was a Japanese guide, but since the main language was English, there were parts I didn't understand.

However, I was satisfied because I got to see sea turtles and go snorkeling!

初ハワイで、ここには絶対行きたいと思っていた場所でした。

"It was written that you have a high chance of encountering sea turtles, but what I wanted to do was 'snorkel with the turtles,' so I participated with half expectation and half anxiety, thinking, 'Maybe I'll just be looking at them from the boat.' But I did it! 'Snorkeling with the turtles!' I think I was lucky. Of course, since they are wild, you can't do it every time, but if I go to Hawaii again, I would like to join this tour."

「海ガメには高い確率で出会えます」と書いてあったけど、
私のやりたいことは、「カメと一緒にシュノーケリング」だったので、「船の上から眺めるだけかなあ」と期待半分不安半分で参加しました。
で、やれました!「カメとのシュノーケリング!」
運が良かったと思います。
もちろん、野生だから、毎回必ず出来るわけじゃないけど、

When the sea becomes murky... 海が濁ってしまうと…

Reviewed by: あしか

It was quite a while ago, but I participated in October. I heard that there had been high waves for about a week prior, which made the sea murky and reduced visibility.

While on the boat, we could see the dorsal fins of the dolphins swimming, and each time we spotted them, we were told to "go! go! go! go!" and everyone hurriedly jumped in, but we could hardly see them swimming.

After jumping in three times, most people caught a glimpse for just a moment (about three seconds) on the third try, but another couple and I couldn’t see them at all. We moved again, and only those who hadn’t seen them got to try again. Finally, I managed to see them for about five seconds.

I should have been happy, but maybe because I had seen too many participant experiences and photos, I felt a bit disappointed, thinking, "I thought I would see more..."

After that, we moved to the bay. It was also murky there, with visibility of just a few meters. Of course, I couldn’t see any turtles or tropical fish at all. We alternated between kayaking and paddle surfing, but my spirits were low, so I ended up eating snacks on the boat.

In the distance, I could see a group of dolphins meeting with a school of dolphins. Having come to Hawaii to see dolphins, I was envious of those on the school’s boat who were chasing dolphins until the end, rather than staying in the murky bay for paddle surfing. I didn’t expect to see so few dolphins.

The staff were great. They really tried to make it exciting. If we could have seen the dolphins clearly instead of just for a moment, it might have been a lot more fun.

随分前になりますが、私が参加したのは10月でした。
現地ではちょうど一週間前くらいから高波が続いていたということで、海が濁り、透明度が低く。

船の上にいると泳いでいるイルカの背びれが見え、その度に船で移動し、「go!go!go!go!」と言われて皆慌てて飛び込むのですが、なかなか泳いでいる姿は見えず。

3回飛び込んで、3回目にして大半の人は一瞬(3秒くらい)見えたのですが、私ともう1組のカップルは見れず。
再移動して、見れなかった人だけ再チャレンジ。
ようやく私も5秒程度でしたが見えました。

本当は嬉しいはずなのに、参加者の体験談とか写真とか見過ぎていたのか、「もっと見られるかと思ったのに」という気持ちで、イマイチでした。。。

その後、湾のほうへ移動。
こちらも濁っていて、視界は数m程度。もちろん亀も熱帯魚も全く見られず。
カヤックとパドルサーフィンを交代で…という感じでしたが、気持ちも下がっていたので船上でお菓子を食べていました。。

離れたところでは、イルカ中学がイルカと会っている姿が。
イルカに会う為にハワイに来た私は、パドルサーフィンなどの為に濁った湾に留まっているよりも、中学の船で最後までイルカを追いかけているのが羨ましかったです。
こんなにイルカが見れないとは思っていませんでした。

スタッフの方はいい方達です。すごく盛り上げようとしてくれます。
イルカが一瞬だけでなくしっかり見られれば、きっと楽しかったのかもしれません。

Thank you for participating in Dolphin University. Although the visibility can change due to ocean conditions, we are very sorry that you were unable to fully enjoy the anticipated encounter with the dolphins, as well as the snorkeling time with the turtles and tropical fish. We would be grateful if you could give it another try on your next opportunity.

My dream has come true! 夢がかないました!

Swimming with wild dolphins in the ocean has been a dream of mine for many years. I thought it would be difficult, so I participated with the expectation of being lucky to catch even a glimpse. However! Not only did I see them, but from the boat, I witnessed dolphins jumping, and once in the water, there were pods of dolphins coming one after another! I could even hear their cute sounds, and it was truly moving.

Additionally, all the staff were cheerful, and I believe it would have been a fun tour even if we hadn't seen any dolphins. After getting off the boat, we had a hula lesson in a cool shade, which also became a heartwarming and enjoyable memory. I definitely want to participate again the next time I go to Hawaii.

野生のイルカと海で一緒に泳ぐのが長年の夢でした。
でも難しいだろうから、『ちらっとでも見れたらラッキーだな』ぐらいの期待で参加したのです。
ところが!ちらっとどころか、ボート上からはイルカたちのジャンプが、海に入ればイルカの群れが次から次へと!!かわいい鳴き声も聞こえ、もう感動でした。
また、スタッフも皆陽気で、もしイルカが見れなかったとしても楽しいツアーになったと思います。

This tour is all about having a good vibe. The key to enjoying it is to let loose and have fun without feeling shy.

As for the dolphins, at first, I thought I might not see any, but later on, I encountered many dolphins, which made me quite satisfied.

You can also enjoy malasadas, marine sports, and hula dancing, making the most of your time in Hawaii.

It involves quite a bit of physical activity, so on the way back, I was so tired that I fell asleep in the car until we reached the hotel.

Thank you for enjoying the heavenly sea. Unfortunately, due to the season, timing, and tidal changes, the water level near the sandbar may vary, and there may be times when you cannot enjoy the completely exposed white sandy beach. We look forward to your next visit.

I participated at the request of my son, who is now in his first year of middle school. Our guide, Shin, was very attentive and there were no particular troubles. My son was able to dive properly. I think he did a great job for his first time. We encountered sea turtles twice. It was humorous to see them just floating and not moving much. The schools of fish seemed a bit sparse. Still, when I went in with the snorkel and had food in my hand, I was able to observe a large number of fish up close.

中学1年になった息子のリクエストで参加しました。ガイドのシンさんは、丁寧に教えてくれて特にトラブルはありませんでした。息子もちゃんと潜っていました。はじめてにしては上出来だったと思います。ウミガメに2回出会いました。ちょっとボ~ッとして動かないのがユーモラスでした。魚群は少し薄い感じがしました。それでも、シュノーケルで入ったとき餌を手にしていると多くの数の魚がまじかで観察できました。

Mysterious space 不思議な空間

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

After a 15-minute ride on a medium-sized boat, we arrived at a shallow area with a depth of 20 to 30 centimeters. It was truly surprising. We walked around and chatted there, and then went snorkeling. However, we didn't have much time (about 30 to 40 minutes), which was a bit disappointing. There weren't as many fish as I had expected. The lunch was very delicious, but since it was probably around 3:30 to 4:00 PM, everyone was quite hungry. I think it's better to have a light snack if you're on an afternoon tour. However, I was very happy to unexpectedly receive Leonard's malasadas for free.

中型ボートで15分も走るとそこには20~30センチの浅瀬に。本当に驚きです。そこでウォーキングやおしゃべりなどをしてその後はシュノーケリングへ。ただあまり時間が取れず(30~40分位)そこがちょっと残念でした。お魚は期待していたよりいなかったです。ランチはとてもおいしかったのですが、恐らく3時半~4時位だったので、みんなお腹がペコペコでした。午後のツアーの場合、軽く食べていったほうがいいと思います。ただ、レナーズのマサラダが無料で配られ思いもよらなかったのでとても嬉しかったです。

Sea turtles are cute. うみがめはカワイイ

Reviewed by: くにみつ

The sandbar changes completely depending on the tides, and I think its uniqueness deserves a perfect score of 100. However, it's important to note that it doesn't always form a beach in the middle of the sea as shown in the pictures. Those who are lucky might find a beach, while others can enjoy the sea turtles.

サンドバーはそのときの潮の満ち引きによって全然景色が変わるし、珍しさは100点だと思います。
ただ、写真のように海の真ん中に浜になっているとは限らないので要注意。運がいい人は浜に当たるかもね。浜に出会えない方は海ガメで楽しめるかも。

It was fun. 楽しかった

I was picked up from the hotel where I was staying, passed by the "What Tree Is That?" tree, and arrived at the port. After a bathroom break, we boarded the boat. Before reaching the dolphin point, we were lucky enough to see a rare whale at the end of April. We snorkeled at the dolphin point. When we were told to "look down," we saw many dolphins! The underwater world, illuminated by sunlight, was beautiful.

My 4-year-old child was indeed scared of the ocean, but the staff helped by putting them on a kayak, and they seemed to have a great time.

The hula dance while feeling the wind was also enjoyable, and the CD of the photos I purchased turned out to be excellent. I brought an underwater camera, but I couldn't compete with the professionals.

Since it was April, I was glad I brought a hoodie.

宿泊してたホテルまで迎えにきてもらい、この木なんの木の横を通過し、港に到着。トイレタイムの後船に乗り込みます。イルカポイントに着く前に4月末には珍しい鯨に会えました。イルカポイントでシュノーケル。look downと言われ海の中を見るとイルカがたくさん!日の光が注ぐ海の中は綺麗でした。
4歳の子どもは、やはり海を恐がりましたが、スタッフがカヤックに乗せてくれて、楽しそうでした。

風を感じてのフラダンスも楽しかったし、購入した写真のCDも、申し分なく出来上がりの良いものでした。私も水中カメラを持って行きましたが、プロには敵わないです。

時期が4月ということもあり、パーカーを持って行って正解でした。

Yay! Sandbar! わーい!サンドバー!

Reviewed by: noel

I had to go to the sandbar on my first trip to Hawaii! Although I was alone, the staff were young and friendly, and the ocean was incredibly beautiful. Of course, I also got to see sea turtles. It seemed difficult to take pictures, though. I’m good at snorkeling, so I easily cleared it and swam at the front of the tour, enjoying the fish in the clear waters.

初めてのハワイでサンドバー行くっきゃない!だけどぉ、独りは一人だったけどぉ。スタッフは若くて気さくな感じだし、海はとってもきれいなのだぁ。もちろんウミガメも見れたよぉ。写真に撮るのは難しそうだったけれどぉ。初種のーケリングも潜るの得意だから難なくクリアーでツアーの先頭を泳げば澄み切った海で魚たちを楽しめます。

A day experiencing Hawaii! 一日でHawaii体験\^0^/

Reviewed by: ぶぶぶ

It was my first experience with snorkeling!

Even though I wore a life jacket, it was quite challenging for me, who can't swim, to get used to using the fins ^^;

However, they assessed how well each participant could swim at the beginning and provided support, so I was able to swim with peace of mind ;)

The water wasn't as clear as in photos or stories, so I couldn't see the dolphins clearly underwater or swim with them, but I could hear their voices! ((@0@) From the boat, I was able to see several mother-dolphin pairs and groups☆

The captain and crew were incredibly kind, and the hamburgers were delicious ♥ When I was on the kayak, I got to see a sea turtle up close, which was truly moving (:_; )

And above all...

The ocean was so beautiful!!!!

I forgot everything and felt so relaxed ´ω`

The final hula experience was also a lot of fun *^'*b

I think anyone, whether friends, couples, or families, will definitely enjoy it!!

I highly recommend it for those who want to experience Hawaii in just one day\^0^/

シュノーケリング初体験でした!

ライフジャケットを着用していたものの、
泳げない私はフィンの使い方に
慣れるまでなかなか大変でした^^;

でも最初にどのくらい泳げるか
参加者の状態を把握して
フォローしてくれたので
安心して泳げました;)

海はそれほど透き通ってなかったので、
写真や体験談のように
水中でイルカをハッキリ見たり、
一緒に泳ぐことはできませんでしたが、
声が聞こえましたよっ((@0@
船上からは何頭もの親子や群れを
見ることができました☆

キャプテンやクルーの皆さんは
とーっても優しいし、
ハンバーガーはおいしいし♥
カヤックに乗った時には
ウミガメを間近で見られて
本当に感動しました(:__;)

そして何より…

海がキレ~~~イ!!!!

何もかも忘れて
癒してもらいました´ω`

最後のフラ体験も
とっても楽しかったです*^'*b

友達、カップル、家族、
誰と参加しても必ず
楽しめると思います!!

一日でHawaiiを体験したい方には
本当にオススメです\^0^/

I was greatly impressed by the sherbet-colored sea at the sand bar! サンド・バーのシャーベット色の海に大感激!カメラを忘れたら・・・

Reviewed by: ふ~たん

I participated in the most popular tour, the afternoon BBQ lunch tour, which is known for its delicious food. The weather was great, and the sea was beautiful! I realized I had forgotten my video camera on the shuttle bus. What a shock! I had bought a compact video camera to capture this sea... In the early morning, I joined the Diamond Head sunrise tour. I guess I was a bit relaxed, and while searching for a shop near the boat departure point, I found none.

When I asked the staff, they mentioned that waterproof cameras called "Utsurun desu" are sold on the boat... When I tried to buy one, I learned about a service that turns photos taken at the sand bar into a DVD. The sand bar is a famous spot for commercial filming. Hmm. The "Utsurun desu" camera costs $20, while the DVD shooting is $45... I thought about having a photo DVD made of me, my son, and my mother.

However, we had to pose properly... arms wide open, all three of us overlapping, and so on. Plus, I was bare-faced with messy hair... I thought the woman in a bikini taking our photos looked much more suited to the beautiful sea... but we went ahead with it. My son had a stiff expression the whole time. My mother looked great in the photos, and the photo spots were indeed well-chosen.

The finished photos turned out beautifully. However, having to pick them up at the office near DFS after 7 PM that day was a bit inconvenient. I wished there was a delivery service to the hotel.

After that, we went snorkeling. My son, who had been taking swimming lessons, of course participated. I also joined since I had gotten somewhat used to it at Hanauma Bay on the first day. However, the water was 20 meters deep. The distance was about 100 meters round trip, I think. It suddenly got deep from knee-deep water. Some women decided not to participate, fearing they might panic at that depth, but I can only swim about 25 meters. There were small children participating with their fathers, so it was okay. However, the visibility wasn't that great, and I could only see a few fish far below.

We saw several sea turtles from the boat on the way to the sand bar.

The BBQ lunch after snorkeling was delicious, just as I had expected. The kalbi meat was easy to eat, and we all commented on how tasty the salad was.

ツアーで一番人気の、このツアーBBQランチが美味しいという評判の午後ツアーに参加してきました。
天気も良く、海も綺麗!送迎のバスの中でビデオカメラを忘れてきたことに気がつきました。ショック。この海を撮りたくて小型ビデオカメラを購入したのに・・・早朝、ダイアモンドヘッド日の出ツアーに参加。きっと、気が緩んでいたんでしょうねと思いつつ、ボートの発着所付近にショップはないか、捜しましたがありません。

スタッフの方に聞くと、「写るんです」の防水カメラはボート内で販売しているとか・・・購入しようとすると、このサンド・バーで写真をDVDにしてくれるというサービスがあることを知りました。サンド・バーはCM撮影で有名なスポット。う~ん。「写るんです」は20ドル。DVD撮影は45ドル・・・いっそ、私と息子、母の3人を撮ってもらおうかと写真DVDをお願いしました。
しかし、ポーズをしっかりつけること・・・両手を広げて、三人重なって・・などなど。しかも、私はノーメイクで、髪はボサボサ・・・写真を撮ってくださるビキニの女性の方がよほど、この海の景色に似合いそうだ・・・などと思いつつ撮ってもらいました。息子は終始、かたい表情。母は、良い表情に撮れていましたし、写真を撮るスポットはさすがに、慣れているだけあって良かったです。

出来上がったものは、綺麗に撮れていました。
その日の19時以降にDFSの近くの事務所まで受け取りに行くのが、ちょっと。ホテルまで届けてくれるサービスなどあればと思いました。

その後はシュノーケリング。息子はスイミングを習っていたので、もちろん参加。私も初日のハナウマ湾で、やや慣れたので参加。けれど、水深20メートル。距離は往復で100メートル~だと思います。膝ほどの水深からいきなり、深くなります。
水深が20メートルだと、途中でパニックになるかもしれないなどど参加をやめた女性もいましたが、私も25メートルほどしか泳げません。小さな子供もお父さんと参加していたので、大丈夫です。ただし、透明度はそれほどではなく、魚もずっと下の方に少し見えるくらいでした。
海ガメは、サンド・バーに行く途上で何匹も船上から見えました。

シュノーケリングの後のBBQランチは期待通り、美味しかったです。カルビ肉は食べやすく、サラダも味付けが美味しいねと皆で話していま

I got to meet a sea turtle!! ウミガメに会えた!!

Reviewed by: 四十路ママ

On March 21, 2011, I participated in this tour with my parents and my son (8 years old). It was cloudy in Waikiki, and there was a bit of rain on the mountain roads, so I was worried about the weather. However, when we arrived at the location, it wasn't perfectly sunny, but the weather was decent with some sunshine. Even in late March, the water temperature was still low. During this tour, we snorkeled twice at different points, but during the first snorkeling session, my son and the other children turned blue in the lips and were shivering. The adults, including myself, didn't feel as cold, but if children are going snorkeling at this time of year, a rash guard might not be warm enough. The snorkeling left a stronger impression than walking on the sandbar. Most of the staff were Japanese, so they kindly explained how to wear and use the snorkeling gear in Japanese, which made me feel at ease. During the first snorkeling session, we encountered a sea turtle. The colorful tropical fish and the sea turtle were truly moving. We boarded the cruiser, which took us to the snorkeling points, and even though the meals on board were light snacks, they were quite delicious. For the second snorkeling session, I was told that the current was a bit stronger than at the first point, but even as a beginner, I was able to snorkel without being swept away. This point had clearer water and a more beautiful sea. We didn't see any sea turtles here, but afterward, we returned to the boat for turtle watching. We discovered many sea turtles, and my parents, who didn't snorkel, also enjoyed it. All the staff were kind, and I would definitely recommend this tour.

2011年3月21日にこのツアーに私の両親と私と息子(8歳)で参加しました。ワイキキでは曇りで途中山道でも雨がちらつき、天候が心配でしたが、現地に到着するとピーカンではありませんでしたが、日差しもぼちぼちの天候となりました。3月下旬でもやはり水温は低く、このツアーではポイントを変えて2回シュノーケルしたのですが、1度目のシュノーケルで、息子も含め他の子供達も唇が真っ青でぶるぶる震えるような感じになりました。私や他の大人の方々は、それほど寒さを感じませんでしたが、この時期のシュノーケルは、お子さんが行かれるのであれば、ラッシュガードでは寒いかもしれません。サンドバーのウォーキングよりは、シュノーケルが印象に残りました。スタッフは日本の方がほとんどでしたので、日本語で丁寧にシュノーケルの装着や使い方について説明してくださり、安心してシュノーケルができました。1度目のシュノーケル時にウミガメに遭遇しました。色とりどりの熱帯魚とウミガメ、それはもう感動的でした。クルーザーに乗り込み、ポイントまで連れていっていただいたのですが、船内での食事も軽食とはいえ、なかなかおいしかったです。2度目のシュノーケルは、最初のポイントよりやや潮の流れがあるとのことでしたが、初心者の私でも流されることなく安心してシュノーケルできました。こちらのポイントの方が透明度が高く美しい海でした。ここではウミガメには会えませんでしたが、その後船に戻りウミガメウォッチングをしました。
たくさんのウミガメを発見して、こちらはシュノーケルはしなかった私の両親も楽しんでいました。
スタッフのみなさんもどなたも親切ですし、是非お勧めしたいツアーです。
