Snorkeling at Angel's Sea's coral reef was amazing because I got to swim with a sea turtle. Before getting on the boat, it was raining and the weather was bad, but it cleared up before we boarded, which was great. Angel's Sea is really shallow and the water is beautiful. However, it was disappointing that there weren't many fish. It's a gentle course for beginners since you can practice snorkeling.
The next coral reef was deeper offshore, which might be a bit intimidating at first, but wearing a life jacket ensures you won't sink, so it's reassuring. Since the sun wasn't shining, it was hard to see the coral from the surface. Once you enter the coral reef, it gets shallower, which increases your sense of security, but be careful not to touch the bottom as it can cause environmental damage. The rule is to swim around the coral reef. There were plenty of fish, and I saw a sea turtle swimming as well, which was really nice. By chance, a sea turtle was right below me, and I was able to swim with it, which was the highlight of the experience.
天使の海のサンゴ礁でのシュノーケリングで、ウミガメと一緒に泳げたので、最高です。
ボートにに乗る前は、雨が降って天気が悪かったのですが、乗る前には天気も回復したので、良かったです。
天使の海は、本当に浅瀬で海はきれいです。ただ、魚がいないので残念でした。
シュノーケリングの練習もできるので、初心者には優しいコースです。
次のサンゴ礁でのシュノーケリングは、、沖合で海底が深く、ちょっと慣れないとしり込みしますが、ライフジャケットを着ていたら、絶対に沈まないので安心です。
日が差していなかったので、サンゴの場所が海面からでは分かりずらかったのです。
サンゴ礁に入ったら、浅くなるので安心感が増すのですが、足を着いたら自然破壊になるので、要注意です。
サンゴ礁の周りを泳ぐのがルール。
魚も沢山いたし、ウミガメも泳いでいましたので、とても良かったです。
偶然に、ウミガメが真下にいて、一緒に泳ぐことができたので、最高でした。

Since it was our first time as a couple, I was initially worried about what would happen if we tipped over in the kayak, but it was surprisingly stable, and I had no worries at all. The instructor explained everything very clearly, and they even took photos of us on the uninhabited island, providing excellent service. The weather was great, the sea was incredibly beautiful, and we were able to paddle the kayak well and have fun.
My only complaint was that we had to clean up the canoe ourselves at the end. It was difficult for us to lift it up a slightly elevated hill from the beach, and we had to ask a male companion for help. Even after getting it up, it was tough to drag it to the platform where we had to place the canoe. While I don't mind cleaning up ourselves, I would have appreciated a little more guidance or assistance with the cleanup route and lifting.
夫婦で初めてでしたので最初は、カヤックでひっくり返ったりしたらどうしようかとか考えていましたが、意外と安定していて心配は全くありません。
インストラクターの方が、非常にわかりやすく説明してくれたし、無人島での写真などもとってくれって、サービス満点でした。
天気もよく、すごくきれいな海で、カヤックもうまく漕げたし、楽しむことができました。
唯一の不満は、最後のカヌーの片付けが自分たちでやるのですが
海岸から少し高い丘に上げるのに、自分たちでは難しく、、同行の人の男性に手伝ってもらったり、上げてもカヌーをのせる台まで引きずるのも大変でした。
自分たちで片付けるのはいいですが、もう少し片付けるルートとか上げる時の誘導・手伝いが欲しかった。

My husband and I participated in the first morning session. I was a bit anxious about whether our reservation was confirmed, but we were picked up on time by a car with a big shark picture on it ( ˊᵕˋ ). It was tough getting up at 5:30 AM, though (laughs).
After about an hour's drive, we arrived and boarded the boat!!! The crew didn't speak any Japanese, so we read the instructions in Japanese. Even though they couldn't speak Japanese, they communicated well through gestures, so it wasn't a problem at all♪ On the way to the shark spot, they playfully startled us with shark dolls and checked to see if we were feeling okay; they were really nice people.
When we reached the spot, there were so many sharks on the surface!!! Since our turn was third, we watched the sharks swimming around. The journey to the spot was fine, but once the boat stopped, I started to feel a bit seasick (laughs). It seemed like everyone else felt the same way (laughs). We didn't get to the point of throwing up, but a few people did look like they were struggling (;▽;).
However, when it was our turn, our excitement took over, and the seasickness disappeared! The sharks we saw right in front of us were absolutely beautiful! They didn't bump into the cage, just swimming around it gracefully (*˘︶˘*). There were more than ten sharks♪ But some people inside the cage looked a bit seasick and unwell (;▽;). I wouldn't recommend this for those who are prone to motion sickness (;▽;).
But it was an incredibly valuable experience!!!
旦那と二人で朝イチの部で参加しました。
ちゃんと予約できてるか不安でしたが、時間通りにサメの絵が大きく載った車でお迎えにきてもらいました( ˊᵕˋ )朝5:30でさすがにつらかったですが(笑)
車で1時間ほどで到着し、船に乗って出発!!!
クルーのみなさんは全く日本語はしゃべれないので、日本語表記の注意書きを読みました。日本語はしゃべれないけど、ジェスチャーなどで伝わるのでぜんぜん問題ありませんでした♪サメがいるスポットまでの道のりもサメの人形で脅かしてきたり、具合悪くないかとか気にかけてくれてとても良い人たちでした。
ポイントについたら水面にたくさんのサメが!!!
私達夫婦の順番は3番目だったので、水面のサメを見たりしてました。

My 9-year-old child participated and had a great time. They were able to stand up on the board in just one session and now want to continue surfing. The instructor was a foreigner, so I think it would be more enjoyable if you understand some English. By the way, my child can speak, so it seems they had a lot of fun! They also said the instructor was cool.

I participated at the last session at 4 PM as a memory of our honeymoon.
The pickup bus was 7 or 8 minutes late, which made me anxious, but in the end, we were able to enjoy the sky and sea of Waikiki without any issues.
It was my first time parasailing. I was surprised at how quiet it was up in the air. I initially thought there would be a strong wind, but instead, it felt like time had stopped as I leisurely chatted with my wife during our aerial stroll. Just the two of us under the slightly setting Hawaiian sky. I felt so happy.
As part of the experience, there was a moment when we were descending to the boat at the end of the session, and they pretended to drop us into the sea for a second before soaring back up into the air. My wife and I got completely soaked, and the seawater stung our noses, but it became a fun memory. I'm grateful for that.
However, the waves were rough that day, and the boat was rocking a lot. An American man who had been lively on the way there was completely groggy on the way back. If you're prone to motion sickness, taking anti-nausea medication is a must.
新婚旅行の思い出に最終16時に参加しました。
迎えのバスが7、8分遅れて焦りましたが、結果無事にワイキキの空と海を楽しめました。
初パラセイリング。上空は思いのほか静かで驚きました。
当初はもっとバシバシ風が来るものかと思ってましたが、時間が止まったかのような静寂の中、のんびりカミさんと会話しながらの空中散歩。
少し日が傾き始めたハワイの空に2人きり。幸せを感じました。
これはお約束のジョークなのか、体験終了時間が来てボートに降下していく際、一瞬海に落とすフリしてまた上空に舞い上がるという演出が入ります。
我々夫婦はどっぷり頭まで浸かってしまい、海水で鼻がツーンとなりましたが、それも楽しい思い出となりました。感謝です。
ただ、当日は波が荒かったのか、船の揺れがハンパなく、行きのボート上では元気だったアメリカ人のおじさんが帰りには完全グロッキーになっていました。

I was worried about the weather, but I was able to see the beautiful sea.
However, I was disappointed that the sandbar had water up to my calves, which was not what I expected...
The Japanese female staff member was very cheerful and kind, and she took various shots with the camera, which I really appreciated!
It was my first time snorkeling, but they provided all the necessary equipment and taught me how to use it, so I felt safe diving.
Honestly, I wasn't expecting much from the food, but the hamburgers grilled on the spot were very delicious.
I definitely want to participate again!! Thank you very much!!
I recommend bringing a towel or hoodie, as it gets very cold after coming out of the sea.

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

I participated with my family on October 15, 2015. We've traveled to Oahu several times, but it was difficult to make a reservation, so we finally made it to the sandbar this time. The weather was nice when we departed from Waikiki, but by the time we arrived at Kaneohe Bay, it was pouring rain and very cold, making us worry if we would even reach the sandbar. However, we set sail as planned towards the sandbar. Along the way, the rain stopped, and we even saw sea turtles, which lifted our spirits as we arrived at the sandbar! The water was about knee-deep that day. All participants put on snorkeling gear and swam near the coral reef. Although the visibility wasn't great, we were able to see many fish. I looked up at the sky several times wishing for sunshine, but the staff's enthusiasm was amazing, and the simple sandwiches we had at the end were delicious! Next time, I definitely hope for a sunny day!

オアフ島へ何度か旅行してますが中々予約が取れなくて今回やっとサンドバーに行けました(^^)ワイキキを出発するときはお天気でしたがカネオ湾に到着するときにはなんと土砂降りでとても寒くてサンドバーにたどり着けるのか心配でしたが予定通り出航してサンドバーへ向かいました。途中、雨も上がり海亀さんも顔を題してくれてじょじょにテンションも上がりサンドバーへ到着です!この日はひざ下ぐらいの海水でした。参加者全員でシュノーケルをつけ珊瑚礁の近くを泳ぎました。透明度がありませんでしたが沢山の魚の姿を見ることができました。

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

The sandbar was cold. It seemed like it was a time of year when the beach wasn't really accessible, and I was constantly waist-deep in the sea. It wasn't at all like the small island I had imagined. I should have done proper research.
But!! After going snorkeling, my mood completely changed!
It was so much fun, and I really felt glad that I participated.
The crew was considerate towards families with children, so I recommend it for those with kids as well.
サンドバーは寒かったです。砂浜が季節的に?出ない時期だったようで、ずっと腰まで海に浸かっている状態で、私が想像していた、小さい小島?みたいな感じではありませんでした。ちゃんとリサーチすればよかったです。

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

I was thrilled to see the whale right in front of me. However, the rocking of the boat was severe, and my whole family got seasick. That was disappointing. I almost got seasick for the first time myself, so it might have been a bit tough for the kids.
目の前のクジラに感激。しかし、揺れが酷く家族皆船酔いでダウン。そこが残念でした。
自分も初めて船酔いになりかけたので、子供たちには少しつらかったかな。
Thank you very much for boarding with us.
It sounds like you were able to see whales up close! That must have been an incredible experience. Thank you for the beautiful photos as well. As December approaches, we will be entering whale season. There will be many calm days at sea when the boat won't rock, so we hope you will come to see the whales again this season. All of our staff are looking forward to your next visit.

この度はご乗船誠にありがとうございます。
クジラを目の前でみて頂けたんですね!それは感動しちゃいますね。きれいなお写真もありがとうございます。もうまもなく12月になりますと、クジラの季節を迎えます。海が穏やかで、船が揺れない日もたくさんございますので、ぜひ今シーズンもクジラに会いにいらしてくださいね。またのお越しを、スタッフ一同心よりお待ちいたしております。

We attended a wedding celebration in Ko Olina with 14 family members. The sunset was so beautiful that it’s etched in my memory. The show was authentic. We were the only Japanese group there, but it felt great to be in a foreign land. Even though I didn’t understand the language, the atmosphere made it manageable. I definitely recommend it.
コオリナでの結婚式の打ち上げで親族14名で参加しました。夕陽がとても綺麗で目に焼き付きます。ショーは本格的です。日本人のグループは私達だけでしたが異国に来た感があってよかったです。言葉はわからないけど雰囲気でなんとかなります。是非お勧めします。

The weather in the morning was really nice, and the view of Hanauma Bay was beautiful. The sea was also clear, and I was able to see a lot of fish!! It was so much fun to swim together!! The guide taught us various things and even held our hands while swimming. It's a shame that I couldn't see any turtles.
朝はとっても天気がよく、ハナウマ湾の景色がキレイでした。海もきれいで、魚がたくさん見ることができました!!一緒に泳いだりととってもたのしかったです!!
ガイドさんは、いろいろ教えてくれたり、手をとって泳いでくれたりしました。
カメが見られなかったのが残念です。

I handed the voucher to the female staff at the entrance, took a seat, and placed my order. After finishing my meal, another staff member brought the bill, which surprised me. When I informed them that I had given a voucher, they headed to the register and I waited for 10 minutes. In the end, it was confirmed that there was no charge, but the coordination among the staff was terrible. I hope they receive proper training. The food was delicious, so next time I plan to go directly to the restaurant without making a reservation.
入り口いる店員の女性にバウチャーを渡し、席について注文。
食事が終わると別の店員が勘定を持ってきてビックリ。
バウチャーを渡したことを伝えると、レジに向かっていき
待たされること10分。無事に勘定はなしということにはなりましたが、
スタッフ間の連携がひどすぎる。きちんと教育してほしいです。
味はおいしかったので、次回はこちらで予約せずに直接お店に行こうと思います。
Dear Umekyun,
I sincerely apologize for the significant inconvenience we have caused you. It seems there was a communication error among our staff regarding the invoice, despite you having the voucher. I am truly sorry for this. Based on your valuable feedback, we will make further efforts in employee training. Once again, I deeply apologize.
うめきゅん様
この度大変なご迷惑をおかけしましたこと、心よりお詫び申し上げます。バウチャーをお持ちになったにも関わらず、請求書を持ってきたということ、スタッフの間で連絡ミスが起こったようです。大変申し訳ございませんでした。いただいた貴重なご意見を元に、再度、社員教育に努めて参ります。改めまして、深くお詫び申し上げます。

I participated in a dolphin and sea turtle watching tour in the morning. I was able to see many dolphins both from the boat and while snorkeling. The sight of a pod of dolphins swimming below and coming up to the surface for air was breathtaking. I wish I could have seen a few more sea turtles. I would love to participate again.
午前中からのイルカ、ウミガメウォッチングツアーに参加しました。船の上からもシュノーケリングでも本当にたくさんのイルカを見ることができました。イルカの群れが下を泳ぎ、呼吸のために水面に上がってくる光景は絶景でした。ウミガメをもう少し見れたらよかったと思います。また参加したいと思いました。

Upon reflection, I realized I participated even though I have a fear of heights (laughs). Even at 45 meters, it was thrilling enough. However, the experience of viewing all of Waikiki and the beautiful ocean from above was exceptional!
I just wish I had known that for an additional $30, I could have had photos taken on the day. I went without that knowledge and only had money for tips... It was difficult to capture my experience with my own camera. So, I give it ★4!
よくよく考えてみたら、高所恐怖症なのに参加してしまいました(笑)
45Mでも、十分スリリングでした。
でも、本当にワイキキ全体と美しい海を上空から眺められる体験は格別でした!
ただ、別途30ドル?当日に払えば、写真を撮ってもらえること知りたかったです・・・。
知らずに行ったので、チップ代しかもっておらず・・・手持ちのカメラでは乗ってる姿を写真に収めるのは困難でした・・・。
なので、★4つ!
Thank you very much for participating in the tour. We also appreciate your enjoyment of the thrill of parasailing and the views from above.
Regarding the photos taken during parasailing that you mentioned, as you pointed out, it is difficult for us to take them ourselves, so the local operating company offers a paid service. To keep you informed in advance, we have provided guidance in the frequently asked questions section on the tour page, so please refer to that.
Thank you again for your valuable feedback amidst your busy schedule.
