Oahu
Since it was after the hurricane, the waves were still a bit rough, and it wasn't very enjoyable for families with small children. My 4-year-old got stung by a jellyfish.
As everyone mentioned, the pizza for lunch was large and very delicious.
I would like to try again.
ハリケーン後だったのでまだ少し波が荒く小さい子連れにはあまり楽しめませんでした。4歳の子どもがくらげにさされました。
お昼のピザは皆さんのおっしゃる通り大きくてとても美味しかったです。
またリベンジしたいです。
Dear Nango,
Thank you for participating in the tour and for your review. We understand that you visited after the hurricane, and it was unfortunate that the waves were rough. Normally, Kailua has small waves and many calm days, so we hope you will come back for a chance to experience it again. We look forward to welcoming you back. Thank you.

I participated in Mieko's SUP tour.
By chance, I was the only participant, so it turned into a private lesson. (laughs)
Coach Mieko was very clear and easy to talk to, and she provided enthusiastic guidance, so I was able to stand up on the board right away!
On the way there, the wind was strong, and I had a hard time moving forward, but the refreshing feeling when I reached the destination was quite something.
We went to a small island called Flat Island and took a lot of pictures.
I was able to fully experience the waves and wind of Hawaii.
After the SUP session, I rented a bike and headed towards Lanikai Beach, enjoying a solo trip like a local.
I highly recommend this tour! Thank you!
ミエコさんのSupツアーに参加しました。
参加者は偶然自分一人だけで、まさかのプライベートレッスン。笑
コーチのミエコさんはハキハキとした方で話しやすく
熱心に指導してくれてすぐに立てるようになりました!
行きは風も強く、なかなか前に進みませんでしたが
目的地に到達した時の爽快感はなかなかなもの。
フラットアイランドという小島に行き
沢山写真を撮っていただきました。
ハワイの波と風を存分に感じることができました。
Sup後は自転車を借りてラニカイビーチの方へ
ロコの気分でひとり旅でした。
おすすめのツアーです!ありがとう!
Dear Yusuke,
Thank you for participating in the tour and for your review. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed the SUP, biking, and Lanikai. Please do visit Kailua again when you come to Hawaii. We look forward to seeing you. Thank you very much.

This time, I went to Hawaii with my grandparents and kids, making it a three-generation trip. We signed up for activities that were suitable for toddlers, and since the reviews were good, it turned out to be the best memory. My daughter got seasick and was a bit down, but my son, although scared, enjoyed sitting in the driver's seat. The adults had some alcohol and got really excited! I was also curious about the sunset, but I was really pumped in the morning!
今回おじいちゃんおばぁちゃんと、子連れで、3世代でのハワイでした。
幼児から参加可能なアクティビティで、口コミも良かったので、申し込んだところ、最高の思い出になりました。
娘は船酔いしてテンション低めでしたが、息子も怖がりつつも、運転席に座らせてもらったり、楽しんでいました。
大人はアルコールも入って盛り上がりました!!
サンセットも気になるけど、朝一でテンション上がりました!
I made a reservation for 120 meters, and I think it was indeed 120 meters, but I felt a thrill and excitement that made it feel even higher. Ultimately, if you get friendly with the captain, he seems willing to accommodate requests on a whim. This is because the operation of the parasailing (managing the wires and adjusting the boat's speed) depends on the captain's skills, and in my case, it was outstanding (he operated the boat while singing along to the background music!).
Both the captain and the crew member were locals, and they could understand some basic Japanese, while basic English was also sufficient for communication.
Another memorable aspect was the Japanese person who provided transportation. He had a slightly suspicious vibe with his broken Japanese, but it was amusing, and he was quite kind, which made for a good memory in a way.
One point to note is that the boat goes quite fast and can be quite bumpy (the parasailing itself can also be shaky), so if you are prone to motion sickness, I think taking motion sickness medication is essential.
120mで予約して、結局120mだったとは思いますが、それ以上の高さを感じるほど楽しさとスリルを味わえました。
結局は船長さんと仲良くなれば、ノリでリクエストに答えてくれる感じがありました。というのもパラセイリングの操作(ワイヤーの操作、ボートの速度調整)は船長の操船技術次第ですが、私の時は抜群でした。(BGM流し歌いながらボートを運航!)
船長、クルー(1名)いずれも現地の方でしたが、片言の日本語は通じますし、片言の英語でも十分通じます。
また他に印象的だったのは、送迎の日系の方です。片言の日本語で若干胡散臭い感じがしたのですが、それがまた面白く、それでいて結構親切で、ある意味良い思い出となりました。
注意点としては、ボートが速度も出て結構揺れるので、(パラセイリング自体も揺れますが)、酔いやすい方は、酔い止めは必須と思います。
On the day of the event, due to traffic regulations, the pickup from the hotel was changed to a pickup about a 10-minute walk away. Parasailing is an activity unique to resort areas, so I think it will be a memorable experience. The scenery was also incredibly beautiful.
当日、交通規制があったためホテルピックアップではなく10分くらい歩いたところからの送迎に変更になりました。
パラセーリングはリゾート地ならではのアクティビティなので、思い出に残ると思います。
景色もすごく綺麗でした。
I participated in this highly-rated snorkeling tour at Hanauma Bay, among several options available. I had some previous snorkeling experience, but I wanted to join a properly guided tour. Early in the morning, our guide Dan picked us up from the hotel and we headed to Hanauma Bay.
Initially, I wasn't planning to rent a wetsuit, but after receiving explanations about injury prevention and increased buoyancy, I decided to rent one. It was my first time wearing a wetsuit, and I highly recommend it! Hanauma Bay has deep areas, but we also swam in shallow rocky spots. If I hadn't worn the wetsuit, my legs might have been covered in cuts… (*^^*)
Guides Dan and Chieko took us to a spot with plenty of fish. I don't think we would have encountered so many fish on our own. Before I knew it, we had been swimming for nearly an hour, which was surprising! I think I'm going to become hooked on snorkeling.
Thank you, Dan and Chieko! I would love to join again!
ハナウマ湾シュノーケリングツアーはいくつかありましたが、高評価のこのツアーに参加しました。以前、ちょっとしたシュノーケルは体験済みでしたが、きちんとガイド付きのツアーに参加したくて…。早朝、ガイドのダンさんがホテルまでピックアップにきてくれて、ハナウマ湾まで向かいます。
ウェットスーツは当初レンタルする予定ではありませんでしたが、ケガ防止や浮きやすくなるなどの説明を受けてレンタルすることにしました。初めてウェットスーツを着用しましたが、これはおススメです!ハナウマ湾は深いところもありますが、岩場の浅瀬で岩ギリギリのところも泳ぎます。もし、ウェットスーツを着用してなかったら、足が傷だらけになっていたかも…(*^^*)
ガイドのダンさんとチエコさんがお魚がたくさんいるところまで連れて行ってくれます。自分たちだけのシュノーケルだとこんなにたくさんのお魚には出会えていなかったと思います。気が付いたら、1時間近く泳いでいて、びっくり!!シュノーケリングのとりこになりそうです。
ダンさん、チエコさん、ありがとうございました! また、参加したいです!!
Thank you, Mr. M-Tan, for joining the Blue Hawaii Divers tour with your partner. The wetsuits not only provide insulation but also protect your body from scrapes and increase buoyancy, allowing you to swim more safely. Hanauma Bay has plenty of fish in the shallow rocky areas, so we will focus on swimming around the rocks during the tour. Therefore, wearing a wetsuit is recommended even in summer to prevent injuries. I'm really glad you enjoyed snorkeling. Please consider repeating the tour when you come back to Hawaii! Thank you very much. Mahalo!!
エムタン様、この度はブルーハワイダイバースのツアーにお二人でお越しいただき、ありがとうございます。
ウェットスーツは保温だけではなく、体をすり傷などから守ったり、浮力が増すことでより安心して泳いで頂けるんです。
ハナウマ湾は浅瀬の岩場の所にお魚達がいっぱいいるので、ツアーでは岩場を中心に泳いで行きます。ですからケガ防止のためには夏でもウェットスーツはオススメなんですよ。シュノーケリングを楽しんでいただけて、本当に良かったです。またハワイにお越しの際にはツアーにリピートしてくださいね!
本当にありがとうございました。Mahalo!!
We participated as a family of four. Since we chose the 150m option, it felt quite high and gave the impression of going far up. The boat crew was cheerful, and we had a great time. Yano, who provided our transportation, was the best. We had a bit of time before boarding, but during the wait, we were told to cool off in the car, and after docking, they offered us drinks, showing great hospitality.
One thing to note is that the boat sways quite a bit, so motion sickness medication is a must. Even so, both of my adult daughters were feeling unwell.
家族4人で参加しました。150mにしたので、相当高く、遠くまで上がった印象です。ボートのクルーも明るく、楽しめました。送迎してくれたヤノさんは最高です。乗船まで少し時間があったのですが、待機時間中は車の中で涼んでおいてと言われたり、寄港後は飲み物をくれたりサービス精神満載でした。
一点だけ、ボートが相当揺れるので酔い止め必須です。それでも娘二人(成人)はダウン状態でした。
When booking this my wife and I have never done it before so we were on the edge about doing 500’ or 1000’. We chose the 1000’ and jumped on the boat with Captain Tom and Mike.
The humor they showed made it easy to relax and feel comfortable. They knew exactly what they were doing and made us and the rest of the people on the boat truly enjoy our time and experience. We would most definitely do it again if the opportunity arises.
Thank you Captain Tom and Mike!
My husband and I participated together. It was both of our first time parasailing, and we were nervous, but once we tried it, we talked about how glad we were to be flying (o^^o). It was such a great experience, so I highly recommend it as a memory of Hawaii! ☆
旦那と二人で参加しました。
二人ともパラセーリングは初めてでドキドキでしたが、いざやってみて飛んでる間やってよかったねと話しました(o^^o)
とても良い体験なのでハワイの思い出におすすめしますっ☆
It was the best honeymoon!
This time, I participated in the 150m experience.
The boat driver was friendly and had a great vibe, which made the experience even more enjoyable.
Also, the person at the reception counter spoke Japanese, so I felt安心して参加する事が出来ました.
We gathered directly at the yacht harbor, but there were no large, clear signs for Beltra, so I think it would be better if there were more prominent signs displayed.
最高の新婚旅行になりました♪
今回150mで参加させてもらいました。
船の運転手の人も気さくな人で、いい感じのテンションでさらにを飛ぶ事が出来ました。
あと、受け付けカウンターの人も日本語が出来る方だったので、安心して参加する事が出来ました。
私達はヨットハーバーに直接集合でしたが、ベルトラ などの看板が無かったので大きくわかりやすい看板が表示したらもっと良いと思いました。
I never expected to be taken all the way to the back side of Diamond Head, so I am very satisfied. I've been to Hawaii many times, and while I've used dinner cruises before, this was my first sailing experience! I was very pleased. We were the only Japanese people there, but we had a great time.
まさかダイアモンドヘッドの裏側まで行ってもらえると思わなかったのでとても満足しています
何度もハワイに来ていますが、ディナークルーズは利用したことがありますがセイリングは初めて!大満足です
日本人は、私たちだけでしたがとても楽しかったです
It was my first time snorkeling, and I was able to enjoy it with peace of mind thanks to the Japanese guide!
You can leave your belongings locked up on the beach, so it's safe. (That said, it's better to avoid bringing large sums of money or anything that would be a problem if stolen...)
You can also take photos with a GoPro.
We had a lot of blurry pictures, so that was a bit disappointing...
初めてのシュノーケリングでしたが、日本語ガイドで安心して楽しめました!
荷物も鍵をかけて、ビーチに置くので、安心です。(とはいえ大金とか、盗難でこまるものはやめた方が良いですが…)
GoProで写真も撮っていただけます。
私たちはピンぼけとかが多かったので、それだけ残念でした…
Dear Takemoto, thank you for joining our tour. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed your first snorkeling experience.
Underwater photography is indeed challenging. Both the fish and people are moving, and the colors change depending on the position of the sun. Even with daily practice, underwater photography is truly deep and difficult.
We hope you will join us again on another tour when you come back to Hawaii. We are always here to welcome you.
Thank you very much. Mahalo!!
takemoto様、この度はツアーにお越しいただき、ありがとうございます。初めてのシュノーケリングを楽しんでいただけた様で、私たちも嬉しく思います。
水中写真は難しいですね。お魚も人物も動きますし、太陽の位置によって色の出方も変わります。毎日撮っていても本当に水中写真は奥が深く難しいです。
またハワイにお越しの際にはツアーにリピートで来ていただけたらと思っております。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!!
Standing on the board was more difficult than I expected. I fell into the sea multiple times and had to crawl back onto the board each time, which took quite a bit of energy. Moreover, the tide changed halfway through, and by the end, I was desperately paddling towards the shore.
I was able to experience SUP, which I had always wanted to try, and when I reached the shore, I was exhausted but very satisfied. It was quite hard for me, a forty-something with zero athletic ability, but my husband was able to stand up right away, so it really does come down to athleticism...
ボードの上に立つのは思っていたよりも難しく、何度も海に落ち、その度にボードに這い上がるので、結構体力を使いました。しかも途中から潮の流れが変わり、最後は必死で岸に向かってパドルを漕ぎました。
一度は体験したいと思っていたSUPを体験できて、岸に着いたときはヘトヘトでしたが大満足でした。
運動神経ゼロのアラフォーの私にはかなりハードでしたが、夫はすぐに立てるようになったので、やはり運動神経ですね・・・
Dear Hanamama,
Thank you for participating in the tour and for your review. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed the SUP at Kailua Beach. When you come back to Hawaii, we hope you will visit Kailua again. Joining a kayak tour would also be a lot of fun.
All of our staff are looking forward to welcoming you back. Thank you very much.

We had a blast with the tour on the Waikiki water with two kids. The location we visited had little crowds so we can have all the ocean to ourselves! Both of my kids were the first time snorkeling. Their friendly staff made sure their live vests are secured and helped them into the water. There were a lot of beautiful fishes o look at. Did not see turtles, but that's OK since we would be visiting the Turtle beach at the north shore later. Overall, we are very satisfied with the activities and services they provide.
My 8-year-old daughter, who is quite timid, had an amazing time! We took motion sickness medication beforehand, so I was relieved that she didn't get seasick. Two women who were on the tour with us ended up vomiting on the way back, so for those who are worried, taking motion sickness medication is a must!
ビビリの8歳の娘もめちゃくちゃ楽しめました!酔い止めも飲んでいったので、心配した船酔いも大丈夫でした。ツアーで一緒になった女性2名は、帰りに吐いていたので、心配な人は酔い止め必須です!
I had done parasailing in Guam before, but since it was my husband's first time, we participated together!! We were both super excited!! The view of Honolulu's skyline and Diamond Head from above the ocean was thrilling!! My husband seemed a bit scared (laughs). I was dropped into the sea about three times, but it felt great for a moment!! Mahalo!!
パラセーリングは、グアムでもやったことがありましたが、夫が初めてということで参加しました!!2人で大興奮!!海の上から見るホノルルの街並み、ダイヤモンドヘッドにも大興奮!!夫は少し怖かったようです(笑)途中で3回程海に落とされたけど一瞬で気持ちよかったです!!マハロ〜!!
I participated with my son.
Since there was a Japanese guide, my son was able to join with peace of mind.
They provide guidance on the appropriate course based on the sea conditions, which is reassuring.
I would like to use this service again next time.
息子と一緒の参加でした。
日本語のガイドなので、息子も安心して参加できました。
海の状況によって適切なコースを案内してもらえるので、安心です。
次回もまた利用したいです。
Dear Sato, thank you for joining the tour with your son. Our instructors observe the tides, wave conditions, and currents while you swim in Hanauma Bay to guide you to the best spots at that time. If you come again, it may be a different course from this time. We hope you can repeat the experience, either just the two of you or with your whole family. We look forward to seeing you again at Hanauma Bay. Thank you very much. Mahalo!!
sato様、この度は息子さんとお二人でツアーにご参加いただき、ありがとうございます。
私たちインストラクターは皆様がハナウマ湾を泳ぐ時の潮の満ち引き、波の状態、流れなど見て、その時のベストスポットをご案内させていただいております。
次回もお越しいただけましたら、今回とは違うコースかもしれません。またお二人で、もしくはご家族皆様でリピートしていただけたらと願っております。
またハナウマ湾でお会いできるのをお待ちしております。
本当にありがとうございました。Mahalo!!
We had the great opportunity of taking this dream tour about a mile north of the Waikiki beach where the water is much more clear than the crowded Waikiki shore. We did snorkeling, kayak, paddleboard, water slide, and whole nine yards! The water is a little rough that day, but we still had so much fun! The staff were friendly and very helpful and encourage us to try different activities. Kevin, one of the staff was very helpful to get us all buckled up in lifevests, gear up for water activities. Thank you!
Ok, it was a boat ride. However, it was the first thing we did and it allowed us to get on the water in a large catamaran. It allowed us to meet other people and the crew was great. Saw a turtle! Great view from the water back on the city. Great way to start the week.
I heard from other reviews that the meeting place was hard to find, so I went early to check it out. There were no staff members who spoke Japanese, so I was a bit anxious about the check-in, but I managed to get through it somehow. There were no other Japanese guests among the other passengers, but we all enjoyed riding the waves together, which is a universal joy. I didn't order any drinks. At one point, I felt a bit seasick and got cold, but overall, I had a great time.
集合場所がわかりづらいと他の方のレビューであったので、早めに行ってみました。
日本語を話せるスタッフがいないので、受付は不安でしたがなんとなくクリア。乗り合わせた他のお客さんに日本人はいなかったですが、波に乗り上げて盛り上がるのは万国共通で楽しみました。
飲み物は頼みませんでした。
途中、船酔いしそうになったり寒くなったりしましたが、トータルの感想は楽しかったです。
Staying at a large hotel right along the main street was fun and convenient, but I wanted to experience a quiet resort for at least a moment in the morning, so I participated. It was just as I expected. The calm and incredibly blue sea! I was moved, thinking, "This is Hawaii!" It was a moment that reaffirmed my belief that sailing is the best way to enjoy the ocean, more than just viewing it from the shore or swimming in it. If you go to Hawaii, definitely do this! The sunset is also beautiful.
大型ホテル、それもメインストリート沿いに泊まっていたので、楽しいし便利でしたが、
朝のひと時くらい、静かなリゾートを味わいたくて参加。
期待通りでした。穏やかで底抜けに青い海!
これぞハワイ!と感動しました。
海は陸から眺めるより、また中に入って泳ぐより、セーリングが最高と再認識した瞬間です。
ハワイに行ったら是非!
サンセットも良いですね。
I participated on Saturday, the day after my arrival. Since I wanted to go to the market in the morning, I signed up for the afternoon course. The staff at the reception spoke fluent Japanese, and there were no issues at all. I waited a little, but they guided me smoothly. The rubber boat used to reach the offshore boat was quite fast and took on the waves directly; my daughter got a bit seasick for a moment, but the beautiful sea and sky made us forget that! There were three pairs of Japanese mothers and daughters, and the two cheerful young men who welcomed us explained everything in Japanese, which eased any worries. Gradually, we ascended to 150 meters in the air... It felt like a roller coaster without the scary drop, and I was amazed at how beautiful the sea, sky, and mountains were. This is definitely something you should try! The splashdown at the end felt great too. I thought it would have been nice to combine it with snorkeling since I was there. Highly recommended! Thank you to all the staff for a wonderful experience!
到着翌日の土曜参加した。朝はマーケットに行きたかったので昼のコースを申し込みました。受付の方も流暢な日本語で何のトラブルもなく、少し待ちましたがスムーズに案内していただきました。沖のボートに着ける為のゴムボートはなかなかのスピードかつ波をもろに受けて、同乗の娘は瞬間船酔いしてましたが、それも忘れるほどの美しい海と空!合わせて3組とも日本人母娘で、迎えてくれた陽気なお兄さん2人は日本語で説明してくれて不安も無く、少しずつ150メートル上空へ…ジェットコースターのような落ちる感がないので怖さは全くなく、海と空と山がこんなに美しいの驚きました。これは絶対に飛ぶべきです!最後にちゃぽんと着水したのも気持ち良かったです。せっかくだからシュノーケルとセットにすれば良かったなと思いました。超オススメです!スタッフの皆様素敵な体験有難うございました!
ありがとう!素晴らしい写真です!
Mahalo! Great pictures!
I flew with my 5-year-old son! Since we were at 150 meters, I was worried that it might be too high for a first time, but once we did it, there were no problems at all. My child was so excited, saying, "We're flying higher than the birds!" Right after we landed, he said he wanted to do it again. It was the most fun activity we did in Hawaii.
5歳の息子と二人で飛びました!
150メートルにしていたので「やっぱり初めてにしては高すぎたかな」と心配になったのですが、やってみたら全然問題ありませんでした。
「鳥よりも高く飛んでるね」と子供も大興奮!降りた直後に「またやりたい」と行ってました。
ハワイで一番楽しかったアクティビティです。
My 10 year old absolutely loved this excursion! Being face to face with the underwater life was amazing. Would highly suggest for families. When not underwater you have the option to snorkel and chill along the boat.
According to Mieko, our coach, the conditions were excellent. It was our family's first experience, but somehow all four of us managed to stand up on the board and move! (It was a short time, though, with a wry smile.) Anyway, the weather was great, and the view of Kailua from the board was amazing!
コーチ役のmiekoさんいわく、抜群のコンディションとのことで、家族4人で初体験でしたが、なんとか4人ともボードのうえに立ち上がって進むことができました!(短い時間でしたが、苦笑)
とにかく天気がよくて、ボードの上から見るカイルアの景色が最高です!
Dear Taka,
Thank you for participating in the tour and for your review. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed SUP in the best conditions. When you come back to Hawaii, please do visit Kailua again. All of our staff are sincerely looking forward to welcoming you.
Thank you.

I participated with my sister's family of four and my son, making a total of six people. Originally, it was planned for just my son and me to do the 90M, but due to strong winds, it was deemed unsafe for my 7-year-old son and me, so we were advised to do the 150M with my sister's family in two groups of three instead. We ended up flying without much time to mentally prepare.
Once we ascended to a certain height and got a bit more comfortable, we went up further to 150M. As I leaned back into the harness and got used to the position, I was able to enjoy the view of the distant Honolulu downtown skyline and Diamond Head.
The staff were all very friendly, and it became a wonderful memory. If you're interested in parasailing, I highly recommend this tour.
妹家族4人と私と息子の6人で参加しました。
元々は、息子と2人で90Mの予定でしたが、風が強いので7歳の息子と母親では、危ないという理由で、妹家族と3人×2回で150Mにした方がいいと船で出てから言われ、心の準備も出来ないままに飛ぶ事になりました。
ある程度の高さまで上がって、少し落ち着いて慣れたところまた更に上がって150M
体をロープに預けて体勢も慣れてくると遠くホノルルダウンタウンのビル群やダイヤモンドヘッドなど景色を楽しむことが出来ました。
スタッフも皆さんとても感じが良く、良い思い出になりました。
パラセイリングに興味があるなら、是非オススメのツアーです。
This was a great experience. I do not like the water and get motion sick very easily. However, I could not visit Hawaii without giving snorkeling a try. Dan showed the kids (10 & 12) what to do and gave us time to practice. Seeing how uncomfortable I was, Dan stayed with me and literally held my hand the whole time. I still felt sick by the end from the motion, but the rest of the family did awesome and really enjoyed the experience. Double Dramamine for me next time.
Hi Jenny, Double Dramamine is the ticket. You guys did great. Hope we see you again. Dan and Chieko.
All staffs are greatly professional and friendly.
We want to experience this excursion with your team.
Food is very delicious as well.
Appreciate your kind guide and support us !
Sincerely,
Jin
Aloha Jin,
That's awesome! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such positive feedback for us with a great picture too! We really appreciate that. It was our pleasure to have you join us for a kayak and snorkel adventure, and we hope to see you again soon! Mahalo nui loa!
From August 3rd (Saturday) to August 15th (Thursday), we came to Hawaii for the first time in three years for a family trip, planning to stay for a week on Oahu and five days on the Big Island. I had always wanted to try snorkeling at Hanauma Bay, and with my daughter now in the second grade, we decided to go ahead after referencing many experiences on Veltra.
I was concerned about the impact of the typhoon until the day before, but on the day of the tour, August 5th (Monday), it was clear and we were able to go snorkeling.
Dan came to pick us up at the Hilton Hawaiian Village where he was staying, and he shared stories about snorkeling and other topics during the ride, which made for a fun travel reference. We arrived at the Hanauma Bay parking lot around 7:40, and there were already many cars parked. After meeting up with another tour participant's car, we had a total of nine people for snorkeling. The group consisted of our three family members, two students and their parents, and a couple, making a total of nine.
Once we arrived at Hanauma Bay, Dan's wife, Chieko, carefully explained the features of Hanauma Bay, snorkeling, and the preparations, which made us feel secure about trying it. My daughter, being the youngest at second grade, made me a bit worried at first, but Chieko supported her throughout, and she became the best at snorkeling in our family, beaming with joy saying, "I had fun!"
At 8 AM, the seawater temperature was still a bit cold, and although we hadn't signed up for wetsuits, after hearing Chieko's advice, we decided to wear them. It was great that they had prepared enough for everyone and ensured safety while snorkeling.
The conditions at Hanauma Bay had some waves, so we experienced being pushed back while swimming and also moving forward with the current. At first, I was focused on getting used to the breathing technique for snorkeling and using fins for the first time, but soon I started to see fish and wanted to see them better.
My daughter held hands with Chieko and swam while relaxed, which reassured me. I enjoyed snorkeling while holding hands with my wife. At one point, Chieko spotted a turtle, and we were lucky to see it up close, about three meters away!
Even with just about an hour of snorkeling, it felt long underwater, which was a new sensation for me. Everyone who participated in the tour seemed to have a great time, and it became a wonderful memory from this trip.
Thank you so much, Dan and Chieko. I would love to participate again when we come back to Oahu! (●^o^●)
8月3日(土)~8月15日(木)まで、家族旅行で、オアフ島に1週間とハワイ島に5日間の宿泊予定でハワイに3年ぶりにやってきました。ハナウマ湾で、シュノーケリングをいつかはしてみたいと思っていたので、娘が小学2年生になったのを機に、ベルトラさんで多くの体験談を参考にさせていただき決めていきました。
前日まで台風の影響はどうだろうかと気にかけていましたが、ツアー当日の8月5日(月)は快晴で、シュノーケリングを行うことができました。
ダンさんが滞在している、ヒルトンハワイアンビレッジまで迎えに来てくれて、車内でもシュノーケリングのことやそれ以外のお話もしてくれて、楽しく旅行の参考にもなりました。
ハナウマ湾の駐車場は7:40くらいに到着して、すでにたくさんの車が停まっていました。もう一台のツアー参加者さんの車と合流して、私たちは9名でシュノーケリングを行っていきました。ツアー参加者の構成は我が家の3人と、学生のお子様2人とご両親の4人家族の方、カップルの方達が1組で合計9人でした。
ハナウマ湾に到着してからは、ダンさんの奥様のチエコさんが、ハナウマ湾の特徴や、シュノーケリングのこと、準備を詳しく丁寧に伝えてくれたので、安心してトライしていくこともできました。小学2年生の娘が最年少で、最初はできるかなと半分心配していましたが、チエコ先生が終始サポートをしてくださり、我が家の中では一番上手にシュノーケリングができるようになり、「楽しかったよ。」と満面の笑みでした。
朝8時はまだ海水の温度が冷えている方らしく、我が家はスウェットスーツまでは申し込んでいませんでしたが、チエコ先生の話を聞いて、着用することにして参加することにしました。人数分準備してあることや、安全にシュノーケリングができることを配慮されていることも良かったです。
ハナウマ湾の状態は波が少しある方でしたので、泳いでも少し戻されていったり、反対に流れとともに進んだりするような感じで潜っていきました。最初はシュノーケリングの呼吸のしかたになれること、フィンを初めて使ったので、動かすことに夢中でしたが、そのうちお魚たちが見えてくるようになり、もっとよく見たいと思えるようになってきました♬
娘はチエコ先生と手をつなぎ、力を抜いて泳ぎながら海中を見れていたので、安心しました。私は妻と一緒に手をつないでシュノーケリングを楽しみました。途中チエコ先生がカメがいることを発見して、3メートルくらいの距離でまじかに見ることができたこともラッキーでした♪
1時間くらいのシュノーケリングの時間でも、海の中では長く感じたことも初めての感覚でした。一緒にツアーに参加されていた皆さんも楽しかったようで、今回の旅の中で、良い想い出になってくれましたよ。
ダンさん・チエコさん本当にありがとうございました。またオアフ島に来た際には、再び参加させていただきたいと思っています(●^o^●)
Dear Yuki, thank you for bringing your family to the Blue Hawaii Divers tour. Although there were some waves due to the hurricane's impact, your 7-year-old daughter did very well! I believe the waves helped bring the sea turtles closer for us to see. It was great to see them up close.
We would be thrilled if you could join us again on your next trip to Hawaii. We look forward to seeing you again.
Thank you very much. Mahalo!!
YUKI様、この度はブルーハワイダイバースのツアーにご家族様でお越しいただき、ありがとうございます。ハリケーンの影響で少し波ありではありましたが、7歳の娘さんもとても上手に出来ていましたね!この波のお陰でウミガメさんもインサイドに入ってきてくれたのだと思います。近くで見れて良かったですね。
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れば嬉しいです。またお会いできるのをお待ちしております。
本当にありがとうございました。Mahalo!!
I was anxious because of my fear of heights, but I was able to experience it very comfortably. The panoramic view that unfolded before my eyes was wonderful and beautiful. Thank you very much. I want to do it again!
高所恐怖症で不安でしたが、とても安心して体験することができました。眼前に広がるパノラマ風景、素晴らしく素敵でした。ありがとうございました。またやりたいです!
