Dan was a fabulous professional instructor and guide for us!! It was our first snorkel, my husband and I, age 58. We can swim but no one would say we're strong swimmers hence we decided upon an instructor/guide, and Dan's the very best.
We didn't plan to do the wet suits but thank goodness Dan had them available. It was low tide and the protection over the coral in shallow water was invaluable, besides the warmth and buoyancy it offered. (the water was a little cooler than we expected) Dan literally held my hand while snorkeling so i could simply relax and float and watch for fish. He guided us over coral I'd have never have done otherwise, and those were the best places to see the fish. He was so very patient and helpful as I suited up, he fitted my mask and fins, and he was very thorough explaining the snorkel, breathing etc. I'd have never had the same snorkel experience without Dan. He made us feel comfortable and safe, what more could you want?
We had plenty of nice surprises-the tram down and back for example. He provided water and snacks afterward, beach mats, lock box for stuff while in the water, transportation, etc. It feels luxurious when someone's taken care of everything, Dan made that happen and I'm confident he would for you too.
I can't recall the name of Dan's helper but she too was top notch. When snorkeling it's sometimes hard to know which direction you're headed, let alone the tide steering you. I don't really know how Dan and her managed to keep track of us, both above and below water simultaneously but they did, keeping us together, seeing and pointing out the best things possible during the snorkel.
Dan wants you to have a great experience. You will, like we did, I'm sure. If we can do it (with Dan's help) you can too!
PS Dan takes pictures of you for you. Can't wait to see ours!

The weather wasn't perfectly clear, but the sea was beautiful. I thought I had chosen a day with low water levels for the sandbar by researching in advance, but there was still water up to my knees. However, I was satisfied because I was able to see sea turtles while snorkeling. The guide was also great, getting everyone excited and actively taking photos, which was a nice service. The only point for improvement would be that since there were quite a few people on the tour, it took some time to gather everyone, and there were moments when we bumped into each other while snorkeling.
天気は快晴ではありませんでしたが、海は綺麗でした。肝心のサンドバーは事前に調べて水位が低い日を選んだつもりですが、膝下くらいまで水があったもののシュノーケリングでウミガメを見ることができ満足です。ガイドさんも盛り上げてくれ写真を積極的にとってくれるなどサービスがよかっったです。唯一改善点としては、ツアー人数がそれなりに多いので集合に時間がかかったりシュノーケリングの時にぶつかったりしたことでしょうか。

Don’t worry about the early pickup to get you to the west side of Oahu. After swimming with dolphins and seeing at least 10 whales including a mother and calf, you will be wide awake. Sleeping is for the shuttle back home after such a fun-filled adventure. Do it, you won’t regret it!

Aloha!
I have visited Hawaii more than ten times, but this was my first experience in West Oahu and snorkeling. I was captivated by Akima's personality and enjoyable conversations, along with precious stories about Hawaii's legendary history... it was a wonderful Aloha moment.
During snorkeling, Akima taught us with care and kindness, allowing me to swim comfortably even as a beginner. Against the beautiful backdrop of the green "Waianae Mountains" and the blue ocean, I was thrilled to swim with many fish, including the "humuhumunukunukuapua'a" (the state fish of Hawaii), and sea turtles.
We even had a fun photo shoot with a rare red sea urchin on my head! The photos taken were beautiful and filled with memories.
I highly recommend this tour. I would be happy to meet Akima again on my next visit to Hawaii.
I am grateful for the encounter with Akima and the enchanting Hawaii.
Thank you very much.

Aloha!
10回以上ハワイを訪れていますが、西オアフ&シュノーケリングは初めてで、Akimaさんの人柄と楽しいお喋りに魅了され、ハワイの伝説歴史の貴重なお話等々・・・素晴らしいAlohaなひとときが流れていきました。
シュノーケリングでは丁寧・親切に教えていただき、初めてでも安心して泳ぐことができました。
緑色に包まれた「ワイアナエ山脈」と青い海のコントラストの美しい景色を背に、海中ではたくさんの魚たちや「フムフムヌクヌクアプアア」(ハワイ州の魚)、ウミガメと一緒に泳ぐことができて感動。
珍しい赤いウニを頭に乗せての楽しい記念撮影もあり・・・!
撮影してくださった写真も美しくて、思い出がいっぱい詰まっています。
是非お勧めのツアーです。次回ハワイを訪れた時も、またAkimaさんにお会いできると嬉しいです。
Akimaさんとの出会い&魅惑のハワイに感謝いたします。
ありがとうございました。

Thanks to our guide Fumio, we were able to go snorkeling safely. The experience wasn't perfect due to the bad weather, which made it a bit cold at times. However, the tour was enjoyable, and Fumio provided thorough explanations, allowing us to fully enjoy the beautiful sea even as first-time snorkelers. He also shared various recommendations for dining and shopping, which were very helpful. Thank you very much.

activity instructions were not clear as there are 2 Outrigger hotels on Waikiki beach- maybe that can be made clear for future bookings.
safety instructions were good and snorkelling excellent with 2 helpers in the water to show where the turtles and fish were and keep you in the area. Waves were picking up when we left and I'm not a good sailor, so I didnt have any snacks or drinks . Sails were raised and all the crew were very good for the sail around the harbour.

Wow! We had such a good time on the boat this morning. Was convenient to get the boat at 10.30 just after breakfast from right on the beach. Crew were friendly and just a short journey out to Turtle Canyon! The crew were fun and helpful, and when we got to Turtle Canyon we were lucky enough to see 6+ turtles, many fish and the crew/ lifeguard/ guide pointed out a few extra interesting things. We had plenty of time to be in the water looking at the turtles, most people returned to the boy long before they had to and enjoyed a few drinks in a beautiful setting.
We looked out for whales or dolphins on the way back but didn’t get lucky, Aparently they are there though and can sometimes be seen.
They provided life jackets which were good to snorkel with as don’t have to take too much effort to stay floating and can easily deflate if you want to dive down.
Not was not too crowded, we had only about 15 people but they did say they can do up to 49 people and I imagine that would be very crowded!
At turtle canyon there were quite a few other boats but if you were patient it wasn’t that bad in the water snorkeling around, just watch out for any collisions with other swimmers!
The crew were good and kept an eye on us in the water at all times too, letting people know if they were going too far or anything and also pointing out where the turtles are!
In summary, something we would love to do again and would certainly recommend to any other people visiting Hawaii!
There isn’t much shade on the bot was one thing with nothing - so take a hat if it’s a sunny day!
Crew were very generous providing drinks on board too! I’d be surprised if anyone managed to have all three free drinks though after the snorkel (no alcohol before swimming) it’s only 20 mins back to the beach.

There is a dock about an hour from the hotel by shuttle bus, where we take a boat to the sandbar.
The area where the boat arrives at the sandbar was about waist-deep, but in some places, it was shallow enough to reach just below the knees.
While the sand did not emerge above the water's surface, the view was absolutely stunning! It felt surreal to walk in the middle of the ocean.
As soon as we arrived, we were able to see sea turtles swimming near the anchored boats, and during snorkeling, we saw sea turtles resting on the coral and many fish.
The staff spoke Japanese and made the experience very enjoyable.
I’m really glad I participated in the tour.
One thing to note is that this activity is weather-dependent. I participated in February, which is not only the rainy season but also when the water can feel cold. If it’s not sunny, the view may not be as breathtaking. Additionally, the UV rays are strong.
I recommend applying sunscreen, wearing a rash guard, bringing a slightly larger towel to dry off after getting out of the boat, and bringing something like a hoodie to wear.
送迎バスでホテルから1時間ほどのところに船着き場があり、船でサンドバーに向かいます。
サンドバーは、船が到着する場所は腰ぐらいの深さでしたが、場所によっては膝下ぐらいまでになるところもあります。
砂が水面から顔を出すことはありませんでしたが、大絶景!です。
海の真ん中を歩く非日常感。
停泊している船の近くを泳ぐウミガメを到着してすぐに見ることができ、シュノーケリングでは海底のサンゴの上で休んでいるウミガメとたくさんの魚を見ることができました。

ツアーに参加して本当に良かったです。
注意点としては、天候に左右されるアクティビティであることです。
2月に参加していますが、この時期は雨季であるばかりでなく、海に入ると寒く感じます。
晴れていない時は大絶景とまではいかないかもしれません。
そして、紫外線は強いです。
日焼け止めを塗り、ラッシュガードを着用することと、船から上がったら体をしっかり拭くことができるように少し大きめのタオルを用意すること、パーカー等の羽織る物を持参することをおすすめします。

I participated in February, which is winter and the rainy season in Hawaii. Although the wind felt a bit chilly, the weather was pleasant and enjoyable. Our shuttle bus driver, Pete, had a friendly and relaxing talk in Japanese that made the ride to the port fun from the start.
My partner, who has had ear surgery in the past, was a bit scared of the water, but the supportive staff and the variety of activities helped ease those worries. They explained that the boat would sway due to the wind, and they sold anti-nausea products for those who didn't bring medication or couldn't take it. We purchased some, and they worked very well for us. On our return flight, the plane was quite bumpy, and many people felt nauseous, but thanks to the anti-nausea products we bought, we were fine. It turned out to be a surprisingly good purchase (it's a good idea to bring cash in dollars if you plan to buy).
Once on the boat, our Japanese guide, Izumi, began her explanation. Izumi's explanations were excellent, clearly outlining what to do and what not to do, which was very impressive. We were excited to be there, but she emphasized the importance of following proper etiquette, not putting ourselves in danger, and not enduring discomfort if we felt unwell. She also mentioned that touching sea turtles incurs a fine of 350,000 yen. It was truly educational, as she provided explanations not found in the guidebook about protecting the environment for future visits.
The captain also tried to keep the boat steady and moved slowly. After about 20 minutes on the boat, we arrived at the planned beach location. Unfortunately, it wasn't a beach, but the shallow waters were calm and very beautiful.
We chose not to participate in snorkeling and instead enjoyed activities on the sandy bottom. The staff was engaging and made it easy to communicate any needs or issues.
Moreover, two sea turtles came close to us!
A cool foreign staff member took photos for us.
We enjoyed a delicious buffet lunch on the boat, which was filling and a lot of fun!
From start to finish, it was an exciting and enjoyable experience! Thank you to all the staff.
Thank you, Hawaii! I want to participate again.
ハワイでは真冬で雨季の2月に参加しました。
やや風が冷たく感じましたが、それも気持ちよく感じるような良いお天気でした。
お迎えバスのピートさんのトークは緊張をほぐしてくれるフレンドリーな日本語トークで朝から楽しく港まで到着しました。
過去に耳鼻の手術を受けている相方さんは、水に潜れなくはないのですが、少々水が怖いので楽しめるか心配だったのですが、そんな心配を吹き飛ばしてくれるスタッフの皆さんのサポーティプな対応と、アクティビティの豊富さでした。
風があるので船が揺れるから船酔いや、波酔いの説明があり、薬を持ってこなかった人や飲めない人用に酔い止めグッズを販売してくれてます。私たちは購入しました。
私たちにはとても効果がありこの日の酔い止め効果も抜群でしたが、帰国の飛行機がかなり揺れて酔ってる人が多かったのですが、購入した酔い止めグッズを使用して酔わずに済みました。思わぬ良い買い物までできました。(購入するなら現金ドルを持って行くといいですよ)
船に乗ると日本人ガイドのIzumiさんの説明が始まります。Izumiさんの説明が秀逸でしっかりと良いこと、ダメなことをわかりやすく教えてくれて感動ものです。
私たちは楽しみにここに来ていること。
でも、楽しむためにはしっかりとマナーを守り、自分を危険に晒さないことはもちろん、具合悪かったら我慢しないことや、海ガメに触ると罰金35万円かかることなど。また次も気持ちよく参加ように環境を守る。ことのガイドブックには載っていない説明など本当に勉強になりました。
キャプテンもできるだけ揺れないようにゆっくりと船を走らせてくれました。船に乗ること20分くらいでビーチ予定の場所に到着。
残念ながらビーチにはなってませんでしたが、浅瀬で波も穏やかなのでとっても綺麗でした。
シュノーケリングには参加せず砂地でアクティビティを楽しむ方を選びました。
スタッフのみなさんが楽しくもりあげてくれて、いつでも必要なものや困りごとを伝えられる状態になってます。
しかも、海ガメさんたちが2匹も寄ってきてくれました。
写真もスタッフの外国人のカッコいいお兄さんが撮ってくれました。
船上で食べるブッフェランチもお腹いっぱい美味しく食べて、最高に楽しかったです!
最初から最後までずっと楽しくワクワクでした!

We took the 12 pm tour and boarded the catamaran from the beach. It only took 10 minutes to motor out to the snorkel site so it was not far from shore. There were 3-4 other boats with groups in the same area but there was plenty of space. We snorkeled until everyone had returned to the boat. Then the crew raised the sail and we had a great time coasting over the beautiful blue water, returning just inside of the 3 hour advertised time. Free snacks (chips, granola bars) were provided and you could buy drinks.
The crew were funny, friendly, and gave clear instructions. They kept watch over us during the snorkel. They regularly checked up on each guest after the snorkel to make sure everyone was comfortable. I wear glasses, and have a -5.25 prescription. They had prescription goggles on board that were -6.0 and I was able to see so clearly without my glasses! We saw a group of spinner dolphins on the way out, and I saw 5 different sea turtles below us during the snorkel. Several of them surfaced to breathe close by which was amazing! We saw a baby octopus, and lot of beautiful fish. The crew member in the water with us was good to caution people to give the turtles their space which was important.
Advice: you are barefoot to board the boat and on the boat, and you store your bag and shoes in cubby holes on board. It's good to bring a sun shirt so your back doesn't burn. You do get cold while snorkeling, but less so if you keep moving. Bring a towel and warm clothes to wear after if you tend to get cold. Hats will fly away easily so you need one with a draw string. They provide sunscreen if you forget your own. I took gravol before the trip, so I'm not sure if I needed it!

I booked this tour back around August of 2018 for a February 2019 trip. The original date was supposed to be Sunday morning on their first tour; however, they reached out to us on Saturday morning to notify us rescheduling might be required, as the island was going to be hit with an extremely severe storm over the weekend. Sure enough, Sunday morning came, and it was determined the waters were too unstable to enjoy a safe snorkeling experience. We were able to re-book to Monday afternoon, with the hopes the waters would mellow out and clear up by then. We arrived at the meeting spot, and right as we were about to disembark, we were notified the waters were still too dangerous. We were then given the option to either reschedule, or go sail with them for an hour or so, and get a refund on the snorkeling portion. Given we were leaving the following day, we were unfortunately unable to reschedule, and opted for the sailing. The captain, Ryan, and the rest of the crew were all wonderful, and made it a memorable experience. We were out sailing for around an hour and a half, and the views were breathtaking. They also provided everyone a few free drinks to help make up for the inconvenience, and the free snacks provided were much appreciated. While we never got to enjoy the snorkeling itself, I can vouch for the company and their customer service. Thank you for turning lemons to lemonade! Also, in February it was a bit chilly, so I would recommend a light jacket, and definitely sunglasses :)

The boat staff were very nice, but the weather before this activity wasn’t ideal, so that is part of why this review isn’t stellar. Also, the tour said that snorkelling equipment including fins was provided. Fins were not. They are actually very helpful for staying buyouant, especially in rougher waters like we had, so we were counting on them. The area was VERY busy, with many tour groups out there, so it wasn’t a very pleasant snorkelling experience - as you kept getting kicked in the face. I wouldn’t recommend this - find a nice spot and go on your own.

I didn't know that the Heaven's Sea tour had to be booked in advance, and after regretting it for a few years, I finally went back for a revenge trip.
As a result, I had a really great time! I’ve always liked turtles, but even my wife, who isn’t a fan, was excited when she saw them. Turtles are so cute!
Since it was early February, it was a bit cold on the boat when it was cloudy, but the sun came out, so it was manageable. The water was honestly cold, but once you get used to it, you can tolerate it. They offered free wetsuit rentals.
I thought I could manage with just a regular hoodie, but since you wear a suit in the water and walk on the sand for about 30 minutes, marine shoes would be better. Some people got hurt on their feet.
At the sandbar, wearing a T-shirt is actually warmer, but for photos, swimsuits might look warmer and more picturesque.
The boat ride was slow, about 10 minutes, so personally, I didn't need motion sickness medication. However, it was a very windy day, so if you're unsure, it might be a good idea to have some. (They sell motion sickness medication and sandals at a reasonable price.)
I wish I had bought an underwater camera. I never expected turtles to come so close! Well, since they swim in shallow water, you can still take good photos from above the water.
Once you get out of the water, it’s cold, so having a larger bath towel would be good. The BBQ on the boat was quite delicious.
There were about three staff members, including the guide, and we were able to play beach volleyball together with others. That was a lot of fun!
They were very considerate of small children and the elderly, showing great hospitality. You can feel safe bringing your parents along.
There were also people doing other marine activities, and they offered free rentals.
Snorkeling is easy to practice, so even those who are not good at it can give it a try. Even if you don’t snorkel, you can see turtles at the sandbar, so it’s okay to take it easy.
Thank you to all the staff! Aloha!

海の中は正直冷たく、慣れれば一応我慢はできるレベル。ウェットスーツの無料貸出もしていました。
普通のパーカーでなんとかなると思って軽く見てましたが、海中でも着れるスーツや、砂の上を30分ほど歩くので、マリンシューズがあればベターです。足に怪我する人もいたので。
サンドバーではTシャツを着てたほうが実際寒くないですが、写真では水着のほうが暖かそうで絵になるかも。
船はジェットでもなくゆっくりで、10分ほどなので、酔い止めは個人的には不要です。
風がかなり強い日で、自信がない人はあったほうがいいかも。
(酔い止めわサンダル等、有料でそこまで高くない価格で販売はしています)
水中カメラは買っておけばよかったです。あそこまで目の前に亀が来るなんて思ってもなかったので。まあ、浅瀬を泳いでるので、海の上からでもちゃんと撮れますが。
海から上がったら寒いので、大きめのバスタオルもあったほうが良いです。
船上のBBQも、なかなか美味しかったです。
ガイドさん含め3人ほどスタッフがいましたが、他の人たちも含め、一緒にビーチバレーできました。これがかなり楽しかったです!
小さいお子さんや老人への配慮もしっかりしていて、ホスピタリティーあります。親を連れてきても安心できますね。
他のマリンアクティビティーをしている人もおり、無料で貸し出ししていました。
シュノーケリングは無理なく練習できるので、苦手な人もいけると思います。シュノーケリングをしなくとも、サンドバー上で亀も見れますし、無理せずOK
スタッフのみなさん、有難うございました!
アローーーハー!

It was January, but the weather was nice and we had a great time. We saw a lot of sea turtles, and the hamburgers we ate on the beautiful ocean were the best! The sandbar was an experience like no other and was truly moving. The kids enjoyed playing beach volleyball. Our Japanese guide was very fun and showed us various scenic photo spots. The staff was lively, and we had a wonderful time. Even with small children, we were able to enjoy ourselves very much.
1月でしたが、天気も良くすっごく楽しかったです。
ウミガメもたくさん見れたし、天気のいい大海原の上で食べるハンバーガーも最高でした!
サンドバーには今までに体験したことがなく感動しました。子供はビーチバレーをして楽しんでました^_^
日本語のガイドさんもとても楽しい方で、色々な写真の絶景ポイントを教えてもらいました。
スタッフさんもノリノリでとてもいい時間を過ごせました。
小さな子供がいてもとても楽しめました。

My husband and I participated together. The weather in Honolulu wasn't great, so I was wondering how it would turn out, but Kailua was on the other side of the mountain, and the weather was perfect!
For an additional fee, we rented bikes and went to Lanikai Beach beyond Kailua Beach. It was unbelievably beautiful. The staff member helped us reserve pancakes from Boots & Kimo's, and even though it was takeout, we were able to eat without waiting in line! Shopping at Whole Foods Market and Target was also a breeze on the bike.
I was really happy that we stopped by Leonard's to have malasadas on the way back! Thank you very much.
主人と2人で参加しました。
ホノルルは天気が良くなく、どうなるかと思いましたが、カイルアは山の向こう側だったので、最高の天気でした!
別料金ですが自転車を借りてカイルアビーチの先のラニカイビーチまで行きました。びっくりするほど綺麗でした。
スタッフのお姉さんにブーツアンドギモスのパンケーキも予約して頂き、テイクアウトですが並ばずに食べられました!
Whole Foods Market、targetの買い物も自転車で楽々でした。
帰り道にレナーズのマラサダを食べにお店に寄って頂いたのも本当に嬉しかったです!ありがとうございました。
Dear Hotcake,
Thank you for participating in the tour and for your comments. The stop at Boots & Kimo's and the detour to Leonard's were special services, and I'm glad you enjoyed them. If you have any requests, we would like to accommodate them in the future, so please feel free to reach out. We sincerely look forward to your next visit.
Thank you.

Our driver was amazing! He kept up a running commentary on all the best places to eat, names of plants, celebrity houses, the works. He was always willing to answer questions no matter how stupid they sounded. He gave up plenty of info on the area we would be snorkeling in and the best parts of the reef to visit. He unfortunately did not have a pair of prescription goggles that I could use (I forgot to mention when booking) but he let me know I could rent a pair at the bay to ensure that I could see all the wonders below the ocean. He also had underwater cameras for purchase which was a bonus!!!
10/10 I would totally book transportation to go snorkeling with this company again.

The sandbar didn't appear, and it was cold! If you're going in January, you might need to wear a wetsuit to enjoy it! Also, long sleeves and something to cover up are a must!
However, at the snorkeling spots, the cold disappeared, and I was able to observe the fish closely! The snorkeling staff were very kind and considerate, which was great!
Since the only drinks available were carbonated, if you're not a fan, it's better to bring your own water or tea! Also, for those with children, I recommend bringing something to eat for when they can't have a meal!
Participating in the tour became a wonderful memory thanks to the consideration of the guides!
サンドバーもあらわれず、寒いっ‼︎
1月に行かれる方はウェットスーツを着ないと楽しめないかも!あとは長袖と羽織るもの必須!
だけどもシュノーケルをするところでは、寒さがなくなり、魚をじっくり見れました!
シュノーケルの方々は凄く優しいですし、気遣ってくれてよかったです!
飲み物が炭酸しかないので苦手な方は水やお茶を持参した方がよいです!あとは子供連れの方は食べれない時に何か持っていくことをオススメします!
ツアー参加はツアーを案内してくれた方々の気遣いで良い思い出にはなりました!

I thought it was a sandbar, but the tide came in, and it turned into just a sandy shallow area. Given the season, it was cold just to have my feet in the water, so in the end, I went in the sea a bit and then waited on the boat. It should be mentioned in advance that this only happens during low tide, or that it will turn into a sandy shallow area.
サンドバーだと思ったら、潮が満ちて、単なる砂地の浅瀬になってた。季節柄、足だけ浸かってると寒いし、結局ちょっと海に入って後は船上で待機。引き潮の時に限るか、砂地の浅瀬になるということを事前に言っておくべき。

- The weather was cloudy, but when the sun broke through, the color of the sea changed dramatically and was beautiful.
- I participated in January, and it was very cold with strong winds. Warm clothing is a MUST.
- Reef shoes are convenient to have.
- I thought the prices were a bit high for what was offered.
・天気が曇っていたのですが、晴れ間が指したときに、海の色が一気に変わって綺麗でした。
・1月に参加しましたが、風が強く、非常に寒かったです。防寒着はMUSTです。
・リーフシューズがあると便利です
・料金については内容については少し高いかなと思いました
Aloha! This is Captain Bruce's Paradise of the Sea Tour. Thank you very much for participating. January is winter, so even though Hawaii has a tropical image, it can feel cold when you're right in the middle of the ocean. Thank you for your advice regarding the tour. The contrast of the sea colors on a sunny day is exceptional! We all sincerely look forward to your next visit.
アロハ!キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーです。この度はご参加いただき誠にありがとうございました。 一月は冬ですので、常夏のイメージがあるハワイですが、海のど真ん中にいると寒く感じることもありますよね。ツアーへのアドバイスありがとうございます。晴れ間の海の色のコントラストは格別ですよね!!またのお越しをスタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げております。

I compared various tours to the sandbar, and I was very satisfied with the experience. The tour included a sandbar visit, a hamburger lunch, sea turtle observation, and snorkeling points where I could enjoy the sea filled with many sea turtles, fish, and coral reefs.
サンドバーに行くツアーをいろいろ比較検討しましたが、サンドバー、ハンバーガーのランチ、海ガメ観察、スノーケリングポイントで海ガメや魚やサンゴ礁がたくさんの海を堪能できて、大満足でした。

Due to the large number of participants on the day of the tour, we were picked up by a large sightseeing bus. As a result, it didn't arrive at the meeting time, and I had to confirm by phone (the communication was in English, but they responded in simple English when I mentioned my name).
The air conditioning on the bus was very strong, and the airflow adjustment was broken. It would be better to have a light long-sleeve shirt.
When we arrived at the port, there was a toilet traffic jam, but they waited until the last person came out. (There are also toilets on the boat.) A very cheerful Black guide and a small, energetic Japanese guide provided explanations.
At the sandbar, there was a volleyball net set up, and we could play freely. It was a pity that there was only one ball...
Lunch was described as BBQ, but it was a hamburger made with meat patties grilled on the boat and served in a bun! It was quite filling, and if there were leftovers, you could get seconds!
We were able to see 7 to 9 sea turtles even in mid-January!
After snorkeling, warm drinks were provided, making it a very satisfying day.
*There is no place to change into swimsuits, so I recommend changing early on the boat's deck or in the restroom!
当日のツアー人数が多かったためなのか、大型の観光バスでのpickupでした。そのため集合時間になっても来ず、電話で確認しました(英語でののやり取りでしたが、名前を言うと簡単な英語で回答して下さいました。)
バスの中は冷房ガンガンで風量調整も壊れてました。薄手の長袖があるとベターです。
港に着くとトイレ渋滞が発生しましたが、最後の人が出てくるまで待ってくれます。(船にもトイレあります)
とても陽気な黒人ガイドさんと小柄で元気いっぱいの日本人ガイドさんが説明して下さいました。
サンドバーではバレーのネットが設置されており自由に遊ぶことができます。
ボールが1個しかなかったのが残念…。。
昼食はBBQと記載がありましたが、船で焼いたお肉のパティをパンで挟んで食べるハンバーガーでした!結構ボリュームもありましたが、余りがあればおかわりもできます‼︎‼︎
ウミガメは1月中旬でも7〜9匹見ることができました‼︎
シュノーケリング後、温かい飲み物も用意されており大満足の一日でした。
※水着を着替えるところはないので、船のデッキかトイレで早めに着替えることをお勧めします!
