Oahu
I signed up for a tour that included pick-up, free drinks, and meals. It was smaller in scale than I expected. After going through everything once, I felt satisfied enough. However, I didn't have to wait long, and I was happy with the price. I was wondering when I would receive the souvenir cup that was supposed to be included in the tour, but in the end, I didn't receive anything. The driver on the way back was a foreigner who only spoke English, and I didn't have the chance to ask anything before being quickly dropped off at my destination. I thought any item would be a nice memento, so I was looking forward to it, but it was very disappointing. The fact that it was included in the fee but not given to us is quite disappointing.
送迎とフリードリンクと食事付きのツアーで申込みました。思っていたよりも規模が小さかったです。一通り乗ればもういいかなって、、。でも、それほど待つこともなく価格的にも満足でした。ツアーに含まれているはずの、お土産のカップはいつ貰えるのかと思っていたら、結局何ももらえず、帰りの運転手も英語オンリーみたいな外人で、聞くタイミングも無く目的地でサッサと降ろされました。どんな物でも記念になると思うので、楽しみにしていたのですが非常に残念です。料金に含まれていて、それをくれないという事は、○○ですね、、。
It was unfortunately rainy from the morning, but the sun came out just during the sandbar and snorkeling time. We checked the tides and were able to see the best views. The round trip from the port was cold due to the rain, and some people were standing in covered areas. There's nothing we can do about the weather, but it would have been even better if it had been sunny.
朝からあいにくの雨でしたが、サンドバーとシュノーケルの時だけ太陽が現れてくれました(^^)v
海の満ち引きを調べて行き、最高の景色を見ることができました。
港からの往復は、雨で寒く屋根のあるところで立っている方もいました。
天気ばかりはどうしようもないですが、晴れていたらもっと良かったでしょう(^-^)
I love Hawaii and go there 1 to 2 times every year. This was my second time participating in the activity of swimming with wild dolphins. Last time (with a different company), I was able to swim with a pod of dolphins, which was incredibly moving, and this time I enrolled in Dolphin University.
Not only can you swim with dolphins, but you can also enjoy malasadas, see sea turtles, and if you wish, you can do kayaking as well (they prioritize your preferences without any pressure). I was truly satisfied.
On the boat, they played the ukulele and sang songs, and performed hula dance; it was the best experience I've had so far. I think everyone, from first-timers to repeat visitors, can enjoy this.
At the end, the pod of dolphins escorted us back to the harbor and showed us some jumps. Above all, the staff were all very warm, and I definitely want to participate again next year.
ハワイ大好きで、毎年1~2回は行っています。
野生のイルカと泳ぐアクティビティも今回で2回目でした。
前回も(違う会社でしたが)イルカの群れと泳ぐことができ、すごく感動し今回はイルカ大学に入学しました。
イルカと泳ぐだけでなく、マラサダが食べられたり、海ガメがみれたり希望すればカヤック等も出来て(無理強いすることなく希望を優先にしてくれます)本当に大満足でした。
船上でウクレレを演奏して歌を歌ってくれたり、フラダンスを踊ってくれたり、今まで参加した中でも1番でした。
ハワイ初めての方から、リピーターの方まで皆さんが楽しめると思います。
最後はイルカの群れが港まで送ってくれ、ジャンプも見せてくれました。
何より、スタッフの方が皆さんあたたかくて来年も是非参加させて頂きたいと思います。
The sandbar feels like an ordinary beach in the ocean, so I wasn't as impressed as I thought I would be, haha. However, I think it's nice to spend the day relaxing, eating burgers grilled on the boat, watching sea turtles from the boat, and snorkeling.
サンドバーは海の中にある普通の砂浜という感じなので思ったほど感動でもなかったです笑でも、船で焼いてくれたハンバーガーを食べたり、船上からウミガメを見たり、シュノーケリングをしたりと1日のんびり過ごせてよいかと思います。
We had a very good time. The weather was beautiful, the water and snorkeling was great. Captain Bob and his crew did an excellent job. Everything was great. Will recommend to any one going to Honolulu.
I participated alone, and at the time I joined, there was no one else participating alone. However, the guide really took care of me, which made me happy. I was able to swim with dolphins just as the title promised, and I also encountered sea turtles.
On the boat during the transfers, the staff really got everyone excited, and I didn't have a moment of boredom; it truly became a wonderful memory. Although there were only Japanese participants, I felt very embarrassed as no one gave a tip despite how well we were treated.
There are cultural differences, but since I was in America, experiencing the local culture is part of the joy of traveling. I hope people can understand that it's not about thinking "tips are a waste," but rather experiencing a culture where showing appreciation with money is valued. If you enjoyed your experience, please be sure to give a tip!
私は一人で参加したんですが、私が参加した時は、他に一人で参加した人はいませんでした。ですが、ガイドさんはとっても私のことをケアしてくれて、うれしかったです。
まさしくイルカと一緒に泳ぐ事ができたし、タイトルどおりウミガメとも出会えました。
移動中の船上では、スタッフの方が思いっきり盛り上げてくれましたし、暇することも無く本当にいい思い出になりました。
日本人ばかりの参加だったのですが、こんなに良くしてくれたのに、誰一人チップをあげている人がいなくて、いち日本人としてとても恥ずかしくなりました。
文化の違いもありますが、アメリカに行ったんだから現地の文化を堪能する事も旅の醍醐味ですので「チップ代もったいない」と思わず、気持ちをお金で見せる文化だという事を体感してほしいです。
参加した方は、良かったと思ったら是非チップをあげてください!!!
Get ready for a fun time on this catamaran! The dolphins are a plenty and are in their hibernating season so they stay close to the coast. While you don't get in the water surrounded by dolphins, it keeps them safe, so it's good for everyone. There were so many kinds of fish and it was fun to swim through them. It was a nice cool day, and the dolphins were definitely out there. They got nice and close to the boat! The snorkel was amazing. By lunchtime, I was looking forward to food. The Captain is a fine cook and knows his way around a boat so it's double bonus for us. We had the tasty teriyaki chicken sandwich, which I can proudly give 5 stars! Try the Naked Pirate drink. It's awesome! The crew on the boat was friendly and managed to keep it fun for everyone even with a bunch of little kids running around. It's family-friendly and they made sure those kids stayed safe. This catamaran sail is worth every penny and then some. I highly recommend!
I was waiting at the changed meeting place the day before the tour, but no shuttle came, and I didn't receive any calls on my registered mobile. I tried calling the tour company several times, but couldn't get through. After 40 minutes, I finally got a call through, and when I explained the situation, they asked if I had been at the meeting place.
They said they would contact me again after confirming, so I waited in my room, but after 30 minutes, I still hadn't heard anything. When I called again, they said the Japanese office opens at 8 AM, which is why they couldn't contact me. At that point, it was already past 8:15 AM.
They mentioned rescheduling for another day or in the afternoon, but due to my travel schedule, I could only reschedule for that afternoon, which meant I would have to switch to a lunch plan that was different from the morning one I had originally chosen. Since I was traveling with an 8-month-old baby, snorkeling wasn't an option, and long hours would be a burden, which is why I had specifically chosen the morning plan.
It was a main option for me, so I decided to switch to the afternoon one, but they said it would just be a direct rescheduling, which frustrated me. When I complained, they said they would cover the costs.
The option I participated in was wonderful, but I felt that my limited time on this expensive trip was wasted on phone calls, I couldn't even have breakfast, and my original afternoon plans were ruined. Moreover, there was no response unless I took action myself. It’s truly sad and frustrating that such memories were left from this trip. I don't think I will use this company again.
I’m sharing this for reference, hoping no one else has to go through a similar experience.
参加前日集合場所の変更があったためそちらで待機していましたが送迎が来ず、登録した携帯に連絡が来ず、ツアー会社の電話にも数回したが繋がらず。40分後にようやく電話が通じ、事情を話すと
もう出てしまった、集合場所にいたのか? との対応。
確認後再度連絡すると言われたため部屋で待ったが30分経っても連絡なし。再度こちらから電話したら日本語のオフィスが8時から開くため連絡できなかったと。その時点で8時15分過ぎでしたが。
他の日、もしくは午後に振り返ると言われたが滞在日程ではその日の午後にしか振替できず朝とは違った昼食付きのプランになってしまった。
生後8ヶ月の赤ちゃん連れだったためシュノーケリングが出来ないし長時間は負担になってしまうからわざわざ朝のプランにしていたのに。
メインにしていたオプションだったので午後のに振り返ることにしたが、そのまま振替にするという対応だったので頭に来て文句を言ったら料金はこちらで負担しますと。
参加したオプションは素晴らしかったのだが、お金をかけて行った旅行の限られた時間を電話のやりとりで無駄にされ、朝食も食べれず、もともとの午後の予定もダメになった。そしてこちらからアクションをかけないと対応もなし。せっかくの旅行にこんな形で思い出が残ってしまったことが本当に悲しく腹立たしい。
もう二度とこの会社は使わないと思う。
こんな目にあった人もいるということで参考までに載せておきます。二度と同じような経験をする人が出ませんように。
We sincerely apologize for the anxiety caused despite your having a small child with you, and for the impact it had on your valuable time and subsequent plans. We also deeply regret that we were unable to provide the plan you originally wished to participate in. Moving forward, we will strengthen communication among our staff to prevent a recurrence. We will fully refund the tour fee, so please check the details in the separate email we sent.

I participated in a tour in July during the day. The weather was a bit rainy and somewhat cold, but we had fun playing underwater beach volleyball at the sandbar. After that, we moved to a point where we could see turtles and had hamburgers. We saw about ten turtles from the boat. They come up to the surface for a moment to breathe, so we only saw them briefly. After that, we went snorkeling. There were life jackets available, and there were also things like boogie board poles, so I felt safe doing it. There were a lot more fish underwater than I expected. We were even able to feed them bread, which was very satisfying. Finally, it cleared up, and we were able to see the beautiful sandbar!
7月の昼のツアーに参加しました。天気は雨も少し降っていて若干寒かったのですがサンドバーでは水中のビーチバレーをやって楽しめました。その後はハンバーガーを食べて亀が見えるポイントに移動。10匹ぐらいの亀を船の上から見ました。呼吸をするのに一瞬海面に上がってくるとのこと。なので見えたのも一瞬でした。その後はシュノーケリング。これはライフジャケットもあるしビート板のポールのようなものもあるので安心して出来ました。海中には予想してたよりも色々な魚が大量にいました。パンをあげることも出来て大満足。最後は晴れて綺麗なサンドバーも見ることが出来ました♪
This is my second time participating in this tour. The last time I came, the tide was high and the sandbar didn't appear, but this time I did my research and was able to see the sandbar. There are always sea turtles near the boat (they have names, but I forgot them), and you can definitely see them. They are friendly towards humans, so when you make gestures to feed them, they come close, which is adorable. I might go again just to see the honu! I really recommend this tour!
こちらのツアーに参加するのは2度目です。前回来た時は潮が満ちていてサンドバーが出現しなかったのですが、今回はちゃんと調べて行ったのでサンドバーを見る事ができました^^ボートの近くにはいつも海ガメがいて(名前がついてるんですが忘れました;)絶対見る事ができます。人間になついているので、餌をやる仕草をすると近くまで寄ってくるのが可愛いです^^ホヌ見たさにまた行くかもしれません笑 このツアー、本当にお勧めです!
Aloha! This is the Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour.
Thank you for joining us for the second time the other day.
Thanks to you, we have many repeat customers on this tour. Of course, the sandbar is a highlight, but is it thanks to the honu (sea turtles) as well??
We look forward to welcoming you back, Tsubutsubu Ichigo! Mahalo!
アロハ!キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーです。
先日は2度目のご参加ありがとうございました。
このツアーお蔭様でリピーターのお客様がとっても多いんですよ。サンドバーはもちろんのことやっぱりホヌちゃん達のおかげでしょうか??
つぶつぶいちご様のお越しをお待ちしてます。まはろ〜!
As the title suggests, the staff was very cheerful and helped create a lively atmosphere, making for a very enjoyable tour. It was initially rainy and cold, but the weather finally cleared up by the time we arrived at the sandbar. It was our honeymoon, and the staff suggested various poses while taking some wonderful photos for us. The hamburgers were delicious as well. The snorkeling was a bit murkier than I expected, possibly because it had been raining.
タイトル通りです、スタッフがとても明るく、雰囲気を盛り上げてくれたおかげで、とても楽しいツアーになりました。
当初雨が降って寒かったのですが、サンドバーに着く頃にようやく天気が回復。
新婚旅行だったのですが、スタッフの方が色々ポーズを言ってくれながら、とても素敵な写真を撮ってくれました。
ハンバーガーも美味しかったです。
シュノーケルは思ったよりは水が濁っていました。雨が降っていたからかも。
This was my second time participating, so I boarded the ship feeling reassured that it would be fun. However, the crew's energy and the differences in the ship I boarded meant it wasn't as exciting as I had expected. If I hadn't had the first experience, I would have rated it as enjoyable.
However, if this had been my first time, I might not consider repeating it.
今回は2度目の参加のため、きっと楽しいと安心しながら乗船しました。
ただ、なんというかクルーの方々のテンションや乗り込んだ船の違いもあって思っていたほど盛り上がりませんでしたが、一度目の経験がなければ楽しいという評価になったはずです。
ただ、今回が初めてであればリピートはしないかもしれないです。
I was worried about the weather, but we were blessed with very nice weather, to the point where I was concerned about getting sunburned.
On the day of the event, the schedule was so packed that I barely had time to sleep. We had about an hour of travel time, but it was enjoyable thanks to the lively talk from the student council president.
Also, it was lucky to have Leonard's malasadas along the way. Honestly, I wanted to buy about three of them at my own expense. More than half of the participants rented wetsuits, and of course, I rented one too. It helped prevent sunburn, and since I'm not a strong swimmer, the added buoyancy was a great help.
They also provided zippers so we could take home cheeseburgers, which was very convenient. The dolphins were a bit far away, but we were excited to spot a pod. Fortunately, we also got to see baby sea turtles, which made me very happy.
I truly understood why it's called Ryugu-jo (Dragon Palace). I definitely want to participate again next time. Thank you for the wonderful time!
天気が心配でしたが、大変良い天気に恵まれ日焼けが心配なほどでした。
当日は、暇で寝る暇もないほどのスケジュールです。
移動中1時間ほどありましたが、生徒会長の軽快なトークの説明で楽しい時間でした。
また、途中レナーズのマラサダはラッキーでした。
正直実費で3個ぐらい買いたいぐらいでした。
参加者の半分以上がウェットスーツをレンタルしてました。
もちろん私もレンタルしました。
日焼け防止にもなるし、泳ぎが得意ではないので浮力がまして大変助かりました。チーズバーガーも持ち帰りが出来るようにジッパーを用意してくれてたので助かりました。
イルカは少し遠かったですが群れを発見して興奮でした。ラッキーなことに海がめの赤ちゃんにも会えて大変嬉しかったです。
本当に竜宮城いう名が分かりました。
是非、次回も参加させていただきたいと思いました。
最高の時間をありがとうございました。
We participated as a family in a wedding ceremony in Hawaii. It was a tour of the sandbar that I had always dreamed of, but unfortunately, due to high tide, the water was up to my chest. Additionally, it rained on the way there, and it was cloudy at the sandbar, so we couldn't see the beautiful scenery like in the pictures, which was disappointing. I would love to participate again.
The staff were very friendly, and the hamburgers we ate on the boat were delicious. At the sandbar, there were small, beautiful jellyfish, and I was really worried because I heard that getting stung can cause excruciating pain, even for adults. My brother, who is quite tough with pain, got stung, and he said it hurt a lot, so I was glad it wasn't my grandmother or sister (laughs).
While getting stung was unavoidable, the staff's quick response after finding the jellyfish was good. It was disappointing that we didn't see any sea turtles while snorkeling. Also, the air conditioning on the bus ride back was extremely cold, and with wet clothes, I felt like I was really freezing. It was so cold that I thought we didn't need air conditioning since we were already wet, but it was still very cold, which was the most disappointing part.
海外挙式でのハワイで、家族で参加しました。
憧れだったサンドバーのツアーでしたが、残念なことに満潮で胸下まで水がありました。また行きのバスの途中で雨が降っており、サンドバーでも曇りで写真で見るような景色は見れず残念でした。もう一度参加したいです。
スタッフさんはとても親戚で、船の上で食べるハンバーガーも美味しかったです。
サンドバーでは小さい綺麗なくらげがいて、刺されたら大人でも泣くこともある激痛と聞いてとても心配していました。刺されてしまったのが痛みに強い弟でしたが、かなり痛いようで祖母や妹でなくて良かった(笑)と言っておりました。
刺されたのは仕方ないですが、くらげを見つけた後のスタッフさんの対応も早くて良かったです。
シュノーケリング中にウミガメに会えなかったので残念です。
また、帰りのバスがすごーく冷房が効いており、濡れた服では寒くて本当に凍えそうでした。服が濡れているので冷房要らないんじゃ?というくらいなのに普通にしてても寒いくらい冷房が効いていたのが1番残念です。
Although the weather was unfortunate, both the guide and the staff were a fun group, and we had a great time on the boat. We enjoyed taking photos and snorkeling, and above all, the sandbar itself was amazing. I think it’s definitely worth a visit!
あいにくのお天気でしたが、ガイドもスタッフも楽しいメンバーばかりで、ボートの上から盛り上がりました。写真撮影もシュノーケリングも楽しめて、何よりサンドバー自体が最高でした。一度は行かれてみるとよいと思います!
Really fantastic tour! Lots of history, movie sets, Pearl Harbor ties..really great. Private tour ate where Obama ate at.
Really enjoyed the show! Food was...ok. Would recommend based on the entertainment factor.
Me and my two kids (20 and 21) went on this excursion with Mandy, Jenn and Allie (photographer)! This was the absolute best part of our trip. We enjoy snorkeling and had already visited Hanauma Bay - but this is 100x better than that.
We were fortunate to see bottle-nose dolphins as well as spinner dolphins and snorkel with all of them. Plus sea turtles, crabs and even an eel. Super clear water - absolutely wonderful. Perfect even for younger kids. Well worth the price - top notch crew!
The young lady that delivered the leis met us as we exited the plane and arrived in the terminal. She was very friendly and offered to take our picture. The leis themselves were large, full leis that were very pretty. (A little heavy, due to the size.) Definitely worth it for my wife, who has put up with me for 20 years of marriage!
Aloha NC Hairston!
I am so glad that you two loved your leis! The both of you look marvelous and our deluxe leis are one-of-a-kind! I hope your trip to our beautiful islands was well worth it! Wishing you a wonderful and happy life,

The leis were beautiful and lasted until we came home
I participated with my husband and our 5-year-old son.
On the day we attended, there were no sandbars, but there was a shallow area where adults could wade in up to their chests.
What surprised me was how accustomed the sea turtles seemed to people; they would come so close that I could touch them if I didn’t move away. While we were floating and playing, I noticed four or five dorsal fins about two meters away. Since we had gone snorkeling to see dolphins the day before, I rushed over, thinking, "Dolphins!" but the guide warned us, saying, "Shark! Shark! Shark!" It was terrifying to think that a shark larger than a person was so close, but looking back, I feel grateful for the rare experience.
The lunch was seasoned to suit Japanese tastes and was very delicious. My son, who loves rice, eagerly dug into the rice after a few days without it. Also, the salad they served right after we boarded the boat was still warm and incredibly tasty.
I deducted one star because the return bus was cold. There seemed to be no place to change, so we had to ride the bus wet, wrapped in beach towels, back to the hotel. It would have been nice if they could have given us some time to change, even if it was just at a restroom somewhere. Aside from that, it was a tour that I was very satisfied with, deserving of a full five stars.
I had a great time! Thank you very much.
*You need to take off beach sandals and Crocs when boarding the boat, but it seems you could wear aqua shoes. I noticed someone had injured their foot, so if you can, it's better to bring aqua shoes. They were selling them on the boat for $20. Disposable waterproof cameras were also available for $20. They were selling a photo collection taken by a photographer (probably given on a CD-R?), so even though there were no lockers, since everyone participating was Japanese, it’s a good idea to bring some cash with you.*
主人と5歳の息子と参加しました。
参加した日はサンドバーは出ていませんでしたが、大人が海に入って胸まで水がくるくらいまでの浅瀬が続いていました。
驚いたのは、ウミガメが人に馴れているのか、こっちが逃げないと触れるくらい近づいてくるほどでした。子供と漂って遊んでいると、2メートル先くらいに背びれが4つか5つ…。前日、イルカを見るシュノーケリングに参加していたので「イルカだ!!」と近寄っていくと、ガイドさんが「サメ!鮫!サメ!」と言って注意してくれました。人の身長よりも大きいサメがすぐそばにいたかと思うと恐ろしいんですが、今思うと貴重な体験ができたな~と感動しています。
昼食も日本人好みに味付けされていて、とても美味しかったです。
ごはんが好きな息子も、数日ぶりのお米にかぶりついていました。
あと、船に乗ってすぐに出してもらったマサラダもまだ温かくって、すごく美味しかったです。
星マイナス1にしたのは、帰りのバスが寒かった事くらい。
着替える場所が無いのか、濡れたままバスに乗りバスタオルをかぶってホテルまで帰ります。
どこかトイレでもいいので、着替える時間をとってもらえるとありがたかったです。
これを除けは、星満点くらい満足できたツアーでした。
楽しかったです!ありがとうございました。
《ビーチサンダルとクロックス等は船に乗る際に脱がないといけません。でも、アクアシューズなら履いていても良かったみたいです。足を怪我されていた方もいたみたいなので、用意できるならアクアシューズを持参した方が良いですよ。船の上でも20ドルで販売してました。使い捨て防水カメラも20ドルでした。カメラマンが撮ってくれる写真集みたいなの(たぶんCD-Rで渡されるのかな?)も販売されていたので、鍵付の荷物入れはなかったのですが、参加しているのは日本人ばかりだったので、多少のお金は持って行ったほうがいいですよ》
Aloha! This is Captain Bruce's Heavenly Ocean Tour.
Thank you for the detailed report. Please come back to visit us again. Mahalo!
アロハ!キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーです。
詳細なレポートありがとうございます。また遊びにいらし下さいね。Mahalo!
Snorkeling on the reef was impressive saw turtles and an eel people were nice
It was such a beautiful and memorable tour! I highly recommend you take this tour! They will make sure you have tickets for that day.... If you go on your own, you are not guaranteed tickets for the day. I recommend you take this tour... The tour around downtown was also so informative. The bus driver was very knowledgeable and funny!
I participated with my mother!
It was my first time in Hawaii, and I was immediately impressed by the beauty of the ocean. ☆
As soon as we set sail from the harbor, we saw a pod of about 30 dolphins swimming nearby, which made me very happy! After entering the water twice to swim with the dolphins, we also had time to see beautiful fish and do some sea kayaking, which was very fulfilling.
The staff were very cheerful and attentive, making for a fun experience. My mother stayed on the boat and didn't enter the water, but she was very pleased that the captain gave her bread to attract the beautiful fish.
The boat didn't rock too much, but if you're prone to seasickness, it might be a good idea to take medication beforehand.
The staff were also very caring towards those who did get seasick, which was very reassuring.
I would love to participate again when I visit Hawaii next time!
母と二人で参加しました!
初ハワイだったのですが海のキレイさにまず感動☆
港から出港してすぐ近くにイルカちゃん達が泳いでいて、30頭くらいの群れを目にすることができ大満足でした!!二回イルカを見るために海に入り近くで泳いだ後、ポイントを変えてキレイな魚を見たりシーカヤックをする時間も設けてありボリュームたっぷり。
スタッフのみなさんはとても明るく気遣いも素晴らしく楽しい時間を過ごせました。母は海に入らず船の上で過ごしていましたが、その間も船長さんがパンをくださってキレイな魚を呼んでみせてくれたりと楽しませてもらったととても喜んでいました。
船はそんなに揺れませんでしたが、船酔いしやすい方は薬を事前に服用した方がよいかもしれません。
船酔いした方にもスタッフの方たちがきちんと介抱されていて、とても好感がもてました。
またハワイにいく際には参加したいと思います!
I was filled with excitement as I boarded the car for my first submarine experience.
I felt thrilled even while on the boat from Ala Moana Harbor to the offshore location. When we arrived at the point, the announcement mentioned that the previous submarine was surfacing. Bubbles formed, and in no time, the submarine appeared right in front of us. Finally, it was our turn to board. Due to the steep stairs, we slowly descended backwards into the submarine.
My first impression was that, despite being a premium experience, the windows inside the submarine were quite small. Following the crew's guidance, I took my seat. The dive began, and we descended to the seabed. Since I participated in the Japanese tour, I had no trouble with the language, and the explanations were easy to understand. However, depending on the direction we were seated, the season, and the ocean currents, visibility was not very clear, which was disappointing. Given my high expectations, I felt let down.
初めての潜水艦乗船に、わくわく気分で迎えの車に乗車。
アラモアナハーバーから沖合いまでの船の中でもわくわく。
ポイントに着くと船内放送にて前の潜水艦が浮上して来るとのこと。泡が立ちアッという間に潜水艦が目の前に浮上。
やっと順番が来て乗船開始。急な階段の為、後ろ向きにてゆっくり、ゆっくり下り船内に。
第一印象は、プレミアムの割には、船内の窓が狭い。船員さんの案内に従い着席。
潜水が開始され海底へ。
日本語ツアー参加なので言葉には困らず、案内も分かりやすかったが、座る方向、季節、海流にもよるのだろうか?あまり鮮明に見えず残念。
期待が大きかった分、がっかりしてしまった。
I had a great time meeting Dolphin Sensei right away! However, it was really cold, so something to wear over your clothes is a must!
すぐにイルカ先生に出会うことができて楽しかったです!ただすごく寒かったので羽織れるものは必須ですね!
We went to Hawaii to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary! I decided to join this tour after reading everyone's experiences. The sandbar was perfectly sandy, and it was a valuable experience. I was moved to see sea turtles, and I got some great photos! Snorkeling was also incredibly fun! I wish I could have done a little more! The staff were all women, which created a nice atmosphere! The captain was especially cool~(^^♪ I want to see the turtles and all the staff again! Thank you for the wonderful time.
結婚25年の記念にハワイへ行きました!
このツアーも皆さんの体験談を読んで参加を決めました。
サンドバーは完ぺきに砂浜になっていて貴重な体験が出来ました。
海亀にも会えて感動しました。写真もバッチリ撮れました!
シュノーケリングも最高に楽しかったです!もうちょっとやりたかったな!
スタッフが皆女性で雰囲気良かったです!特にキャプテンはカッコ良かった~(^^♪
またカメさん&スタッフの皆さんに会いたいです!
楽しい時間をありがとうございました。

I reunited with my daughter, who is studying abroad in Honolulu, and our family after a long time. My daughter, who had been feeling mentally weak, found healing through her interaction with dolphins, and it seems she is starting to blend in with the locals. I am grateful for this encounter!
ホノルルで留学中の娘と家族で久しぶりに合流しました。
メンタル的に弱っていた娘の心もイルカとの触れ合いで癒され、地元にも溶け込みつつあるようです。
この出会いに感謝します!
It was my first trip to Hawaii for our honeymoon! I really wanted to see a sandbar like in the pictures, so I checked the tide schedule on the website before going! As a result, it was a great decision! (*^^*) The white sandy beach and blue ocean were beautiful, creating a lifelong memory! I was able to see sea turtles and manta rays as well. I wished I could have snorkeled a bit longer, but since it was a morning-only tour, it couldn't be helped! The staff, including Yukiko, were all very kind! Overall, I would give it a perfect score of 100 points, but I think the satisfaction level can vary greatly depending on the tides and weather!
新婚旅行で初ハワイでした!どうしても写真のようなサンドバーが見たかったのでWebサイトで潮の満ち引きを確認してから行きました!結果、大正解!(*^^*)白い砂浜と青い海がキレイで一生の思い出になりました!海ガメも見れたしマンタも見ることが出来ました。シュノーケルはもう少し長くしたかったけど、午前中だけのツアーだったので仕方ありません!スタッフのyukikoさんはじめ皆さんとても親切でした!私は結果、100点満点ですが潮の満ち引きや天気によって満足度が大きく違ってくるツアーかなと思いました!
The views from the ocean were excellent and the people on the cruise as well as the staff were friendly and fun. The food was OK and the entertainment was good (I'm not a party person, so that is about the most that you will get out of me.) The most memorable thing was after dinner, when Dolphins were playing with the boat and putting on a show for us. The best view of the sunset was actually when we were docking at the harbor, at the very end of the cruise.
