I swam with about 10 participants and 2 instructors. The sea was beautiful and clear, and just swimming felt really good. On that day, I was surprised to see a seal napping on the beach. I couldn't find a sea turtle right away, but I was glad to see one in the end. The sea turtles are cute, and even with people around, they swim gracefully, making it fun to swim alongside them. I probably wouldn't have been able to find them on my own. It's important to remember to wear your swimsuit under your clothes, as there may not be time to change.
10人くらいの参加者と2人のインストラクターで泳ぎました。海は綺麗で澄んでいて、ただ泳いでいるだけでとても気持ち良かったです。
この日は、なんとアザラシがビーチでお昼寝をしていて、びっくりしました。
海亀はすぐには見つかりませんでしたが、最後に見つかって良かったです。
海亀はかわいくて、人が周りにいても優雅に泳いでいるので、楽しく一緒に泳げました。
たぶん個人では絶対に見つけられなかったとおもいます。
水着は、服の下に着て行くのを忘れると、着替える時間がないので注意が必要です。

We signed up as a family of six, and my elderly mother joined us for the tour while five of us, including my two elementary school-aged sons, participated! With the support of our guide Chieko, even as a beginner, I was able to see not only sea turtles but also many beautiful fish! We swam for about an hour, and my younger son, who is in lower elementary school, had to take a break and head back to the beach, but I was really glad we got to see the sea turtles before that.
Even if you're not confident in your swimming skills, there's no need to worry about drowning; as long as you can breathe calmly through your mouth, you should be fine. There will be explanations during the preparation phase, but since we swim close to the rocky areas and the water temperature is lower in the morning, I think it's better for those who are concerned to rent a wetsuit.
I was tired, but I was truly satisfied to see the underwater world that I've only seen on TV. After the tour, my two sons immediately bought snorkeling sets at ABC Store. If I have the chance, I would definitely like to participate again.
家族6人で申し込み、1人年配の母は見学で小学生2人の息子を含む5名で参加しました!
ガイドのchiekoさんのサポートもあり、初心者私も含めてウミガメはもちろん、綺麗な魚をたくさん見ることが出来ました!
約1時間泳ぎっぱなしになるので低学年の次男は途中で浜辺へ引き上げましたが、その前にウミガメが見れて本当に良かったです。
泳ぎに自信がなくても溺れる心配はなく、落ち着いて口呼吸さえできれば問題ないと思います。
準備段階で説明がありますが、岩場のすぐそばを泳ぐこと、午前中は水温も低めのため気になる方はウエットスーツをレンタルされた方が良いと思います。
疲れましたが、テレビ等でしか見たことのない海の中を実際に見れて本当に満足です。
息子2人はツアー終了後、早速ABCストアでシュノーケリングセットを購入しました。
機会があれば、ぜひまた参加したいと思います。
Thank you, Papa, for bringing your whole family this time. I'm glad to hear that everyone enjoyed themselves; both Dan and I are very happy about it. On this day, as well as recently, Hawaiian monk seals have been coming to Hanauma Beach to take their naps quite often. It was really great to see the seals before snorkeling and to swim with the cute turtles in the ocean! Please do come back with your family again. We are always looking forward to your visit. Thank you very much. Mahalo!!
なおパパ様、この度はご家族皆様でお越しいただき、ありがとうございます。皆様に楽しんでいただけたようで、私もダンも嬉しく思います。この日もそうですが、最近はハワイアンモンクシール(アザラシ)がよくお昼寝をしにハナウマのビーチに来てくれるようになりました。シュノーケリング前にアザラシを見て、海では可愛い亀さんと一緒に泳げて本当に良かったですね!!是非またご家族でリピートしてくださいね。いつでもお待ちしております。

In the afternoon session I participated in, there were two Japanese and five foreigners. I joined alone and was worried because I’m not very good at swimming and don’t have much stamina, but Chieko and Dan helped me throughout, and I was able to enjoy it until the end. The sand was swirling, so the visibility wasn’t excellent, but I was able to see many beautiful fish and sea turtles. They also took photos, which can be downloaded for free from Facebook, so I think that’s considerate. It was a hot summer day, but there were many cold spots in the sea, and I often found myself shivering. Out of the seven participants, five were able to swim from one end of Hanauma Bay to the other. This was my second time participating in a snorkeling tour, and I felt that you really need to be able to swim to some extent and have stamina to enjoy it fully. Overall, I was very satisfied with the tour and had a great time.
私の参加した午後の部は、日本人2名、外国人5名でした。私は1人参加で、泳ぎも得意なほうではなく、体力もあまりないため、心配していましたが、チエコさん、ダンさんに終始手を引いていただき、何とか最後まで楽しむことが出来ました。砂が舞っていて透明度は抜群とは言えませんでしたが、たくさんのキレイなお魚や海ガメも見ることが出来ました。写真も撮っていただき、Facebookから無料でDL出来るので、良心的だと思います。夏の暑い日ではありましたが、海は冷たいところも多くあり、震えることも多かったです。7名中5名は、ハナウマ湾の端から端まで泳げました。シュノーケリングツアーに参加するのが2回目でしたが、やはりある程度、泳げて、体力もないと厳しいと感じました。ツアー自体は、とても満足がいったし、楽しかったです。
Thank you for joining the tour. Since we went out to sea from the keyhole that day, it might have been more challenging than swimming inside. However, I believe you were able to keep going until the end because Mr. Dan was there to guide you the whole time. I'm glad you got to see the sea turtles as well.
Please feel free to come back anytime if you have the opportunity. Thank you very much. Mahalo!!
この度はツアーにお越しくださり、ありがとうございます。この日はキーホールから沖へ出ましたので、インサイドを泳ぐよりも難しかったかもしれませんね。でもずーっとダン先生が一緒に引っ張って泳いでくれていましたから、最後まで頑張っていただけたかと思います。ウミガメにも会えて良かったですね。
是非また機会がありましたら、いつでもリピートで来てくださいね。
本当にありがとうございました。Mahalo!!

In June, I participated in this tour. When I first tried snorkeling, I struggled and couldn't really see much underwater, which was a disaster. So, I really hesitated about joining this time, but after reading other people's experiences, I decided to go for it.
As a result, I received really kind and thorough instruction from Chieko and Dan, and I am truly grateful to them. I was scared to even put my face in the water and thought I might not be able to do it, but Dan told me to breathe slowly and relax, holding my hand tightly. Then, the tour with six people started! Chieko took over and guided us, swimming while holding our hands. Gradually, my fear disappeared, and when we spotted fish, Chieko would call out and even tell us their names, which made me very happy.
Since the rocks are very close, I recommend borrowing a wetsuit. It helps those who are not very good at swimming to float more easily and prevents injuries. The snorkel I borrowed here ensures that as long as you can breathe through your mouth, no water will come in, so for those who are anxious like me or not confident in swimming, you can definitely participate. If I could do it, anyone can... haha.
Swimming for almost an hour can be quite tiring, but seeing the fish makes all the fatigue disappear. If you want to get out, they will take you back to shore.
Lastly, there can be some seasickness, so I think it's a good idea for those prone to motion sickness to take medication beforehand. Thank you so much, Chieko, for holding my hand and swimming with me until the very end. I had the experience of swimming with fish in the ocean for the first time. I am grateful.
6月、このツアーに参加させていただきました。初めてシュノーケルした時は、上手く出来ずろくに海の中を見る余裕もなく最悪だったので今回参加するにあたって本当に悩みましたが他の方の体験談を読み思い切って参加させていただきました。
結果、本当に親切丁寧に教えてくださってチエコさんダンさんには本当にお世話になりました。顔をつけるところから怖くて無理かなあ?と思っていたところ、ダンさんがゆっくり息をしてください。力抜いてくださいと言って手をしっかり握ってくださいました。そして、6名でのツアースタート!チエコさんに交代してみんなの後をしっかり手をひっぱって泳いでくれました。だんだん怖さもなくなり、魚をみつけてはチエコさんが声をかけてくださって、お魚の名前も教えてくれたり、うれしかったです。岩がとっても近いのでウエットスーツを借りることをおすすめします。泳ぎがあまり得意でない方は浮きやすくなりますし、ケガ防止にもなります。こちらでお借りしたシュノーケルは呼吸さえ口で出来れば絶対に水が入ってくることはありませんので、私のように不安のある方、泳ぎが得意でない方、参加を迷われてる方、大丈夫です。私でもできましたから。。。。笑
1時間近く泳ぎっぱなしでかなり疲れますがお魚さんを見たら疲れも吹っ飛びますよ。上がりたくなれば沖まで連れて行ってくれます。
最後に波酔いがありますので、船酔いしやすい方は薬を飲んでいくといいと思います。
本当にチエコさん最後の最後まで手を引っ張って泳いで下さりありがとうございました。はじめて海の中をお魚さんと一緒に泳げるという体験をさせていただきました。感謝しています。
Candy, thank you for joining our tour! I'm glad to hear you enjoyed it!! Snorkeling is an activity that anyone can enjoy as long as you breathe calmly through your mouth. It really depends on your enthusiasm to give it a try! (laughs) In our tour, we use dry snorkels, so it's less likely for water to enter your mouth, making it perfect for beginners. Please do consider joining us again when you come back to Hawaii.
Thank you very much. Mahalo!!
キャンディ様、この度は私達のツアーにお越しいただき、ありがとうございます。楽しんでいただけたようで良かったです!!シュノーケリングは落ち着いてゆっくりお口からだけの呼吸をしていただければ、どなたでも楽しんでいただけるアクティビティです。後はやってみよう!と思うご本人様の意気込みでしょうかね(笑)私達のツアーではドライシュノーケルを使いますので、お口に水も入りにくく、初めての方でもきっと大丈夫ですよ。是非またハワイにお越しの際にはリピートしてくださいね。

I was looking forward to West Oahu since it was my first time there. The weather was great, and the clarity of the ocean was amazing. I also visited a mysterious cave for the first time. It was really fun thanks to our guide's friendliness and clear explanations. We had to change locations for snorkeling because there were sharks at the original beach, but the new spot was also very beautiful. The small group created a family-like atmosphere, which was wonderful. Thank you, Akima, for your help; I would love to join again when I visit Oahu. Thank you very much. Aloha.

It felt like we were taken on a drive while enjoying nature and receiving lectures on Hawaiian language, as well as listening to a wide range of guides about the myths of Hawaii and the formation of nature. If you're mainly considering snorkeling, you might find it a bit lacking. On the day of our trip, we changed locations because sharks were spotted at the originally planned snorkeling spot, and we ended up in an area with slightly stronger waves. There was a chance we might see dolphins, but due to the change in location, we didn't encounter any dolphins, turtles, or mantas. The instructor kept us entertained in various ways.
自然を満喫しながら、ハワイ語のレクチャー等も受けつつ、ハワイに伝わる神話、自然の成り立ちなど多岐にわたるガイドを聞きながらドライブに連れて行って頂いたと言う感じです。シュノーケリングを主に考えると物足りないと思います。
当日はシュノーケリングの当初予定のスポットで鮫が見られたと言うことで別の場所に変更になり、波が少し強めの所になりました。
もしかしたらイルカにも会えるかもと言うキャッチもありましたが、場所の変更もあったのでイルカや亀やマンタには会えませんでした。
インストラクターの方は色々と楽しませて下さいました。
Thank you for the review.
The chances of seeing dolphins are higher at the place we visited that day. We have indeed seen manta rays before, but they are quite rare (three times in two years at the usual spot, and three times in two years at the current location). Every time you enter the ocean, you might see something different, but of course, there are times when nothing appears. Since these are wild animals, it's hard to predict. Turtles also may not be present at the usual spot, but we have seen five during a tour at that location.
So please join us again if you have the opportunity! Maybe something will appear next time?!
Aloha!
Akima
レビューありがとうございます。
イルカはあの日に行ったところのほうが確率は上がります。マンタは確かに見れたこともありますが、かなりレアです。(いつもの場所で2年で3回、今回の場所で2年に3回)海には入るたびに違うものが見れる代わりに、もちろん何も現れないときもあります。自然の動物なのでなんともかんとも・・ですね。カメもいつもの場所でもいないときはいませんし、あの場所でツアー中に5匹でたこともあります。
なのでまた機会があればご参加ください! 今度は何か現れるかも?!
アロハ!

We participated as a couple. After arriving in Hawaii, we struggled with the time difference and contacted them to see if we could change our schedule from morning to afternoon. Fortunately, we were able to move it to the following afternoon. They were flexible and accommodating, which we greatly appreciated.
Upon meeting Chieko, whose reliable yet gentle demeanor put us at ease, we were able to express our concerns right away, and she was very considerate throughout. After joining Dan and a family from Seattle, we received excellent support and were able to enjoy snorkeling with peace of mind.
We were thrilled to see a honu and even downloaded photos from Facebook. I took motion sickness medication, but my husband ended up feeling seasick, and I apologize for any concern that caused. However, we had a wonderful time! Thank you!

We participated as a couple. The weather was clear on the day, and the views at each sightseeing spot were wonderful. Although there were few fish while snorkeling, a sea turtle appeared right in front of us! It was an emotional moment and became a lovely memory.
What was a bit disappointing was the guide. She was very high-energy, which surprised me (she might have been trying to entertain us, but...). She kept talking continuously, sharing various stories related to Hawaii, which was educational, but she also talked a lot about herself (like where she lived in the past—several countries—and her dislikes), and I found myself thinking, "I don't really care about you..." by the end. There was also a Japanese woman who seemed to live in Honolulu participating, and when she spoke with her, it felt like they were friends. For example, they talked at length about a menu item that is only available at Kentucky Fried Chicken in the U.S., saying, "I want to eat this when I die!" which felt a bit condescending to us who live in Japan and wouldn't know about that.
This woman seemed to be friends with the guide but didn't particularly contribute to the tour, making her role unclear. The guide mentioned several times, "If I'm told to swim, I'll swim anywhere, but I absolutely don't want to climb mountains!" However, there might have been participants who wanted to climb Diamond Head, and I thought she lacked a bit of sensitivity. At the end, she handed out business cards and explained, "Compliments go to VERTRA! Complaints to my email!" which felt a bit too much.
夫婦で参加しました。
当日は快晴で各観光スポットでの景色も素晴らしかったです。シュノーケリングでは魚は少なかったものの、ウミガメが目の前に現れました!感激し、素敵な思い出になりました。
少し残念だったのはガイドさんです。とてもテンションが高いかたで、ちょっと驚きました(楽しませてくれようとしていたのかもしれませんが、・・・)。彼女はずっとしゃべり続けで、いろいろなハワイに関わる話もしてくださり勉強になりましたが、ご自身の話(昔どこどこに済んでいたときに(数カ国ありました)・・とか、わたしはこれはきらい!等)も多く、「別にあなたのことは・・」と後半げんなりしました。また1名、ホノルル在住?の日本人女性が参加していたのですが、彼女と話すときは友人のような感じで、たとえば米ケンタッキーフライドチキンにしかないメニューについて長々と話し「死ぬときはこのメニューを食べる!」など、日本在住の私たちには知りようもない事で少し嫌みを感じました。
この1名参加の女性はガイドと友人みたいですが特にツアーに協力するでもなく立ち位置が不明でした。
ガイドさんは「私は泳げといわれれば何処までも泳ぐけど、山は絶対登りたくない!」と数回仰っていましたが、参加者の中にはダイアモンドヘッドに登るかたもいたかもしれませんし、少しデリカシーに欠けていると思いました。
最後には名刺を配られ、「お褒めコメントはVERTRAへ!クレームは私のメールへ!」と説明しており、あざとさも感じました。
I apologize for making you feel uncomfortable during the tour. This is my first negative review, so it is helpful for me. Receiving feedback like this gives me a good opportunity to reflect on myself, so I appreciate it.
I explained, "Compliments go to VERTRA! Complaints come to my email!" and I felt it was a bit over the top. It was a joke that everyone seemed to enjoy, but I learned that some people might feel differently, so thank you for that.
I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed West Oahu!

Dear Tomoyuki, thank you for joining the Blue Hawaii Divers tour. The sea conditions were good that day, and we ventured out from the Keyhole. We saw a school of giant trevally swimming in circles on the heart-shaped sandy bottom, and later encountered turtles at two spots. Lucky for us, we also spotted two manta rays! While I've often seen manta rays during boat diving, this was my first time seeing them while snorkeling at Hanauma Bay. You were truly a fortunate customer.
Please do consider joining our tour again when you visit Hawaii. We are always here to welcome you back. Thank you very much. Mahalo!!
ともゆき様、この度はブルーハワイダイバースのツアーにお越しいただき、ありがとうございます。この日は海の状態も良く、キーホールから沖へ出てみました。ハート型の砂地でギンガメアジの群れ(グルグル回って泳いでました)を見て、その後は2カ所で亀に遭遇し、ラッキーなことにマダラトビエイが2匹泳いでいるのに出会えました!!ボートダイビングでしたらマダラトビエイはよく見てましたが,ハナウマ湾でシュノーケリングで見れたのは私も初めてでしたよ。本当に幸運なお客様でした。
是非またハワイにお越しの際には私達のツアーにリピートしてくださいね。いつでもお待ちしております。
本当にありがとうございました。Mahalo!!

My husband and I were first time snorkelers. Dan picked us up promptly from our hotel and we had a lovely drive to Hanauma Bay. Dan explained everything to us and was very professional. We snorkeled at our own pace, but Dan and his wife were always watching to make sure that everyone in our group was safe. We were lucky enough to see four turtles as well as other fish. All necessary gear was provided. I highly recommend this tour!
Thanks guys, It was a great day! Hope we see you again. Dan and Chieko.

Our shuttle time was for 9am and we’re were picked up at 8:59am in a 12 person van. It only took 20 minutes to get to the bay but then we had to wait for 15 minutes just to park and get out. Our drivers name was Diogo and he was super friendly and nice to look at too lol :) After being fitted for our gear we walked to the entrance and paid our $7.50 per person over 13 years to get in and watched a 10 minute video about the history of the bay. It’s a little ways to walk down to the bay and can be tiring to walk back up after snorkeling but they offer shuttle service for $1.25 each way or $2.50 for the day. Take the shuttle. There’s a snack bar at the top if you want a $4 precooked hotdog but it’s better to bring your own snacks. We got into the water at 10:15am and met back up with the driver at 2pm to go back to our hotel, again he was right on time. Overall the kids thought it was fun and we would do it again. The best snorkeling is off to the left side of the beach. The water gets clearer the further you go out.

I was looking forward to meeting Akima just as much as going to West Oahu after seeing everyone's experiences. Since he lives an active life, he shared various stories from abroad, and I was impressed by how well he studied the history of Hawaii, which kept me engaged even while driving. Unfortunately, the snorkeling day had poor visibility, but I was very satisfied with the scenery and atmosphere of the west. I am approaching my sixties, but I still want to keep my energy up and hope to go somewhere else with Akima as my guide. Thank you very much!
皆さんの体験談見せて頂き、西オアフに行く事と同じくらいあきまさんにお会いするのが楽しみでした(*^-^) アクティブに生きてらっしゃるからこその色んな海外でのお話、よく勉強してるなぁと思ったハワイの歴史について、などなど運転中も飽きさせません。シュノーケルはあいにく透明度の良くない日でしたが、西の景色、雰囲気、とっても満足しました。私はもうすぐ還暦ですがまだまだ元気を保って又、あきまさんのガイドでどこかに行きたいなぁと、思いました。ありがとうございました❗
Thank you for the review.
I'm glad to hear that the tour met your expectations. It brings me peace of mind.
If you come to Hawaii again, I would be happy if you could reach out to us.
Until we meet again, aloha!!

レビュー、ありがとうございます。
期待通りのツアーになったみたいでよかったです。安心いたしました。
またハワイにお越しの際にはぜひお声をお声をおかけいただけたら幸いです。

It was the first snorkeling experience for the whole family, but thanks to the precise guidance from the guides, we were able to enjoy it. The water in May was quite cold, and it was a good decision to rent wetsuits. Occasionally, the waves would push us around, making us feel a bit seasick, and as beginners, we got tired after about an hour. We were also able to see a turtle, which was satisfying. Thank you, Chieko and Dan!
家族全員、初シュノーケルでしたが、ガイドさんたちの的確な指導により、楽しむことができました。5月の水は結構冷たく、ウエットスーツを借りて正解でした。時折、波に体が流されて船酔いのような感じになり、初心者は1時間程度で疲れました。カメさんにも会うことができ、満足です。Chiekoさん、Danさん、ありがとうございました!

Even better than I thought it would be! This was my first time snorkelling and I was a bit nervous, but our guides were very patient and helpful. They made me feel totally comfortable about the whole process. We saw so many fish, including whole schools of fish swimming just centimetres away from us, and even a sea turtle.
Hi Helen, glad you had a good time. You did great! Hope we see you again. Dan and Chieko.

We participated as a couple.
Chieko's refreshing smile and flawless service when she picked us up at the hotel blew away any worries, and I had a feeling this tour would definitely be fun.
That feeling was spot on! The snorkeling at Hanauma Bay was sparkling and dreamlike, and I even want to try scuba diving with Chieko next time. (I probably will, haha.)
I believe we were able to see the sea turtles and the rare schools of giant trevally thanks to Chieko, who knows Hanauma Bay inside and out! The photo with the sea turtle that she took is a precious treasure.
Thank you so much for teaching us the beauty and value of the underwater world!
I look forward to next time as well!♪
夫婦で参加しました。
宿泊ホテルまでお迎えに来てくれたChiekoさんの爽やかな笑顔とそつのない対応に不安は吹っ飛び、このツアーは間違いなく楽しいだろうと予感しました。
予感は的中!ハナウマ湾のシュノーケリングは今思い出しても全てが夢のようにキラキラして、Chiekoさんと一緒なら今度はスキューバダイビングもやってみたいと思うほどです。(多分やりますw)
当たり前の様にウミガメさんに会えたのも、珍しいギンガメアジのグルグルを見れたのもハナウマ湾を知り尽くしたChiekoさんだからこそだと思います!撮っていただいたウミガメさんとのツーショットは大切な宝物です。
海の世界の美しさ、そして尊さを教えて下さり本当にありがとうございました♡
また次回もよろしくお願い致します♪
Tetsuyan123 and Moo, thank you for coming together this time. It was the day when one participant returned to the beach after a while, and I took you out to the sandy area of the heart offshore. The giant trevally always swims in a swirling manner like that! It was beautiful!! I'm glad the turtle came close as well. I would be happy if you could repeat your visit when you come back to Hawaii. I look forward to seeing you again. Thank you very much. Mahalo!!
てっちゃん123&むう様、この度はお二人でお越し頂き、ありがとうございます。この日はお一人で参加されていた方が途中でビーチにお戻りになった後に、沖のハートの砂地までお連れした日でしたね。ギンガメアジはいつもあんな感じでぐるぐる渦巻きで泳いでいるんですよ!綺麗でしたね!!亀さんも近くまで来てくれて良かったです。是非またハワイにお越しの際にはリピートしていただけたら嬉しいです。またお会いできるのを楽しみに待っています。

I was really torn between joining a tour that only included transportation or one that had an instructor. Ultimately, I decided I definitely wanted to have fun, so I signed up for the tour with an instructor. After arriving at Hanauma Bay, we were able to enter without waiting in a long line, and it was easy to move around with just our personal belongings since we didn't have to carry snorkeling gear. This was all thanks to the instructor.
I thought snorkeling would be easy, but it turns out the entry and exit points in the water vary depending on the tide and weather. The instructor was very knowledgeable about where the fish and turtles were, which helped us maximize our experience and minimize fatigue.
I was very satisfied because we were able to see many things we wouldn't have seen if we had gone on our own. The instructor also took photos for us, allowing us to preserve our memories in a tangible way.
送迎だけがついたツアーかインストラクターの方がつくツアーに参加するか大変迷いました。やはり絶対に楽しみたいと思い、インストラクターの方がついたツアーに申し込みました。ハナウマ湾に到着後は長蛇の列に並ぶことなく入場でき、シュノーケルなどの道具も持たずに自分の手荷物を持つだけで移動も楽でした。全てインストラクターの方がいたからです。
シュノーケルに関しても、簡単にできると考えていましたが、潮の流れや天気によって海に入ったり、出てくる場所が違うようです。魚やカメが居る場所も良く熟知されているのでムダなく、体力の消耗も最小限に抑えられ良かったです。
自分達だけで行っていたら、見られなかったものを沢山見られて大満足でした。写真もインストラクターの方が撮ってくださり、思い出も形として残せました。

My spouse and I participated in a snorkeling tour. Our instructor, Chieko, provided explanations about Hawaii during the ride, which really got us excited. When we arrived at Hanauma Bay, the waves were calm and the weather was perfect, allowing us to swim close to sea turtles! I highly recommend this snorkeling experience. However, even though I took motion sickness medication, I still felt a bit seasick, so if you're prone to motion sickness, please be careful.
Thanks to our instructor Chieko, I feel like I'm falling in love with the charm of Hawaii.
夫婦2人でシュノーケリングツアーに参加しました。
インストラクターのチエコさんが、送迎の車内からハワイの説明をして

ただ、酔い止めを飲んでいたにも関わらず、波酔いしてしまったので、
酔いやすい方は、気を付けて下さい。
インストラクターのチエコさんのおかげで、ハワイの魅力にはまりそうです。
Dear Lavender, thank you for joining the Blue Hawaii Divers tour.
It was a lucky day with low tide and calm waves, allowing us to head straight out to sea. We encountered a turtle right after heading out and were able to swim together for a long time. We also met another turtle at Black Point, making it truly a fortunate day.
Please come back to Hawaii again, and we hope to see both of you repeat the experience! We are always here waiting for you. Thank you very much. Mahalo!!

この日は引き潮で波もないラッキーな海の状態でしたので、直接、沖を目指した日でした。沖に出てすぐに亀さんに遭遇でずっと一緒に泳げましたね。
ブラックポイントでも別の亀さんと会えて、本当に幸運な日でしたね。ぜひまたハワイにお越しの際にはお二人でリピートしてください!!

We did the snorkeling tour with Chieko and Dan and it was amazing. Their help and information was appreciated. My boyfriend was terrified of sinking and Dan explained it thoroughly which gave him the confidence he needed to do it. We saw sooo many out of this world fish it was like an acquarium, and even a turtle! We had plenty of time to explore the entire bay and you go plenty deep to see some amazing marine life. It was a once in a lifetime experience so thankyou Blue Hawaii Divers!
Hi Brittany, you guys did great! Hope we see you again. Dan and Chieko.

Really amazing experience. We didn't waste any second. The guide picked me up at my hotel on time, he already had all tickets for the Hanauma bay and the tram so we could go snorkeling as soon as we arrived to the bay. Water was very clear and we saw tons of fish! Well worth the time and money!

It was pouring rain on the way there, which was disappointing, but by the time we arrived, the rain had stopped. I felt reassured to see several staff members who spoke fluent Japanese. We rented bicycles from Kailua Adventure. Although the waves were high and we couldn't enjoy snorkeling, we had a great time shopping and cycling. Since we had a long stay, we were able to enjoy a variety of activities.
向かう時は土砂降りで、残念な気持ちでしたが、到着したら雨が上がっていました。スタッフさんに日本語ペラペラな方が数人みえて 安心でした。レンタサイクルもカイルア・アドベンチャーさんでお借りしました。波が高くてシュノーケリングは楽しめなかったけど、ショッピングやサイクリングを満喫しました。滞在時間が長いからいろいろ楽しめますよ

Dear Emi-chan, thank you for participating in the tour. On that day, there was quite a significant low tide, so I thought we might not be able to swim over the coral reef and that there might not be any sea turtles inside. However, we were very lucky to find them in the beautiful Sandman's Patch. It was great that you were able to swim with the sea turtles for a long time! You were truly a fortunate guest to also meet the seals!!
We would be delighted if you could join our tour again when you come back to Hawaii. We are always here waiting for you.
Thank you very much. Mahalo!!
えみちゃん様、この度はツアーにご参加いただき、ありがとうございます。この日はかなりの引き潮でしたのでサンゴ礁の上を泳ぐことができず、ウミガメもインサイドにいないかもしれないなあと思っていましたが、とてもラッキーなことにサンドマンズパッチの綺麗なところで見つけることができました。ずっと一緒にウミガメと泳ぐことが出来て良かったですね!それにアザラシにも会えて本当に幸運なお客様です!!
