It was rainy on the day, but I had a great time snorkeling! We played beach volleyball at the sandbar, and it was fun! The hamburgers for lunch were delicious, made with freshly grilled meat!

当日は雨模様でしたが、シュノーケリングも楽しめて最高でした！サンドバーでビーチバレーをしましたが楽しかったです！お昼のハンバーガーも焼きたてお肉でおいしかったです！

I had a great time! めっちゃ楽しかった！

Reviewed by: ゆかべりん

I read other people's comments before leaving my own. As everyone has mentioned, the staff's hospitality is amazing. Of course, the tour content is also fulfilling. It includes a variety of activities, delicious meals, and is undoubtedly a valuable tour. The staff enhances the experience with their thoughtful attention (they understand Japanese people well), making it even more enjoyable. Families with small children, young couples, and older individuals (like us!?) can all have a great time. It's no surprise that there are many repeat visitors. If given the opportunity, I would definitely like to participate again next time.

コメントするにあたりほかの方のコメントを読みました。
皆さんが書いてらっしゃる様にスタッフの方のホスピタリティーがすごい。
もちろんツアーの内容も充実しています。盛りだくさんのアクティビティ、おいしい食事と価値あるツアーであることはもちろんです。それをスタッフが繊細な心配り（日本人をよく理解している）で盛り上げてより楽しいものにしてくださいます。小さいお子さんを含む親子連れ、若いカップル、年配の方(私達か！？）どんな方も楽しめます。リピーターが多いのも納得。機会があれば次回もぜひ参加したいです。

サンドバー　キャプテンブルース　天国の海®︎シュノーケリングクルーズ　SUPや浮き輪などレンタルアイテムも！＜午前・午後／日本語クルー＞

Unfortunately, it was rainy, but I was able to see turtles. ^_^ あいにくの雨でしたが亀は見られました^_^

Reviewed by: UDTH

I was prepared for the rainy season, but on the day of the event, it was pouring rain and the temperature was low, so everyone participating was shivering as we entered the sea. However, the crew worked hard to lift our spirits and took a lot of photos for us. The snorkeling was affected by the weather, resulting in low visibility and a dark atmosphere, but we were able to see as many as four sea turtles! I would love to come back during the dry season and swim with the turtles again.

雨季なので覚悟はしていましたが、やはり当日は土砂降りの雨で、気温も低くく、参加者のみなさんみんなブルブルしながら海に入りました。
でも、クルーのみなさんが一生懸命盛り上げようとしてくださって、写真もたくさん撮ってくださいました。
シュノーケルも、天気のせいで透明度は低くく、暗い感じでしたが、ウミガメはなんと4頭も見ることが出来ました(^｡^)
また、乾季に来て亀と泳ぎたいと思います。

The miracles continue, and it's moving! 奇跡が続いて感動！

Reviewed by: mayapin

The bad weather from the previous day seemed like a lie, as we were greeted with beautiful sunny skies. It was warm and as stunning as a brochure. Last time, we chartered a motorboat, but this time we participated with nine family members. Captain Bruce was, as always, wonderful. The staff was kind, and Justin was very funny, inviting my mother, who is elderly and stayed on the boat without entering the water, to join in the fun, which made her very happy. The sandbar was just at low tide, shining and sparkling in the sunlight, and it was beautiful. Last time it was a bit cloudy, so this time we were very satisfied. However, it was disappointing that we didn't see many fish while snorkeling. Last time there were many coral reefs, and my daughter, who was in sixth grade at the time, swam comfortably and was amazed by the colorful fish, so the family participating for the first time was really looking forward to it. This time, the water was murky, and my daughter found it a bit scary to swim due to the lack of coral reefs, so she seemed to struggle and couldn't enjoy snorkeling. But it was touching to see sea turtles come close and right in front of us multiple times. If there’s another opportunity, I would definitely want to join Captain Bruce again.

前日までの悪天候が嘘のような晴天。暖かくてパンフレットのような美しさでした。前回は、モーターボートをチャーターしたのですが、今回は家族９人での参加でした。やはり、キャプテン・ブルースさんは素晴らしいです。スタッフの方は親切だし、ジャスティンさんはとても面白くて、高齢で海に入らず船の上で見学した母を笑いに誘って輪の中に入れてくださり、母もとても楽しそうでした。サンドバーはちょうど干潮でお日様に照らされキラキラと輝いていて、美しかったです。前回は少し曇っていたので今回は大満足。ただ、シュノーケリングでは魚があまり見れず残念。前回はサンゴ礁がたくさんあって、当時小学6年だった娘も安心して泳ぎ、色とりどりの魚がたくさん見れて感動したので、今回初めて参加する家族はとても楽しみにしていたのですが。今回は水が濁っていて、娘はサンゴ礁が少ないので少し怖くて泳ぐのに必死でシュノーケリングは楽しめなかったようです。でも、ウミガメが何度も近くにきて目の前で見れたのは感動的でした。
また、次があれば、絶対にキャプテン・ブルースさんに参加したいです。

イルカ中学　野生のイルカ＆ウミガメシュノーケリングクルーズ　高速ボートでイルカ遭遇率アップ！＜少人数制／ワイキキ＆コオリナ送迎可／日本語／ランチ付き＞

Participation on January 7, 2019 (Iruka Junior High School) 2019.1.7（イルカ中学）参加

Reviewed by: ハネムーン野郎

Julie, our guide, was very cheerful and taught us a lot about marine life, such as dolphins and orcas, during the bus ride. Before we knew it, we arrived at our destination. Although it was early in the morning and I felt sleepy, I recommend listening to Julie's stories as they are informative and interesting.

On the boat, we learned how to use life jackets and snorkels, as well as safety precautions for swimming, and it was simple enough for children to understand. We reached the area where the dolphins were located in about five minutes. I think we were lucky to find them at the first spot since their locations change daily. It is illegal to approach the dolphins closely, so you can't swim right next to them like you see on TV. Instead, you get to see a pod of dolphins swimming right beneath you. They come close enough that you can clearly see their patterns. We also got to see them jump. Next, we moved to the area where the turtles were. I think we saw about four of them. I was thrilled to swim alongside the turtles at a distance where I could reach out and touch them (though touching them is also prohibited).

I tend to get seasick, so I was a bit anxious, but I took some motion sickness medication, so I was fine. The waves were calm, so I don't think anyone got seasick that day. On the return trip, Julie shared stories about Hawaii's history and gave a hula dance lesson, and the crew kept us entertained, leaving no time to feel nauseous.

It was a very enjoyable day swimming with dolphins and turtles, creating memories for a lifetime. Thank you very much.

【For Participants】
1. Tips are necessary (cash only)
Tips are not included in the fee, so you will need to pay them upon return. The standard is about 10-15% of the fee, and tips are also expected for optional tours. Whether tips are included in the fee is clearly stated in the details on Veltra (though sometimes it may not be specified). The fee is paid to the tour company, while tips are given to the crew as a gesture of gratitude, so please pay them willingly.

2. Touching or approaching marine animals is prohibited by law
It seems that someone occasionally checks for violators from the shore using a drone.

3. It's better to leave photography to the professionals
If you're too focused on taking pictures, you might miss out on enjoying the view with your own eyes. You can buy photos taken by professionals for $50. While taking your own photos can save money, the skills of the professionals are overwhelmingly superior.

4. A wetsuit is essential in January
Everyone rented one. Fortunately, it wasn't too cold that day, so wearing a wetsuit kept me warm both in the water and on the boat.

5. It's okay if you can't swim
As long as you wear a life jacket, you just need to be able to kick your legs. For those who are still anxious, they provide floating aids for free. Even if you're not confident in your stamina, using a floating aid makes swimming much easier.

【To the Operating Company】
1. Please clearly state the prohibition on bringing bananas and banana-themed items
We were told on the bus that bananas were not allowed, but if someone had brought a towel or swimsuit with a banana pattern, there would be no way to use them on the boat. It seems that bananas are considered unlucky among Hawaiian boaters, but many Japanese people may not be aware of this. In the past, someone brought bananas, and it caused various issues, but it's sad that one person's ignorance can inconvenience everyone.

2. I would like everyone to do warm-up exercises together
When the bus arrived at the beach, the guide said, "Please do warm-up exercises after getting off the bus," but some people did and some didn't. Some who went to the restroom didn't have time to do them. My husband, who didn't have enough time to warm up, said in the water, "I think I'm going to cramp." While it may seem like a hassle, I would appreciate it if everyone could be required to do warm-up exercises together to prev

ガイドのジュリーさんはとても明るく、バスの中ではイルカやシャチなど海の生物についてたくさん教えてくれ、楽しい話を聞いてるうちにあっという間に目的地に着きました。朝が早くて眠いとは思いますが、ジュリーさんの話は知識になって面白いので聞かれることを勧めます。
船の中では、ライフジャケット・シュノーケルの使い方、泳ぐ際の注意点を習い、子供でもわかるくらい簡単でした。船に乗って5分くらいでイルカがいる場所につきました。イルカの居場所は毎日変わるそうなので、最初のポイントで見つかったのは運が良かったと思います。イルカに近づくことは法律で禁止されているので、テレビで見るようにイルカの隣にぴったりくっついで泳ぐことはできません。自分の真下をイルカの群れが泳いでいくのを見る感じです。イルカの模様がはっきり見えるくらい近い距離で泳いでくれます。イルカがジャンプするのも見れました。次に亀がいる場所に移動します。4匹くらい見れたと思います。手を伸ばせば届く距離を亀と並行して泳げたのは嬉しかったです。（亀も触るの禁止）
私は酔いやすいタイプなので不安でしたが、酔い止めを飲んだので大丈夫でした。波も落ち着いていたので当日酔った人はいなかったと思います。帰りの船では、ジュリーさんによるハワイの歴史の話やフラダンス講座があったり、常にクルーが色々と笑わせてくれるので酔う暇はありません。
イルカや亀と泳げて一生の思い出になるとても楽しい一日でした。ありがとうございました。
【参加者へ】
①チップが必要（現金のみ）
料金にチップを含まないので帰りにチップを払うことになります。相場は料金の10～15％くらいで、オプショナルツアーにもチップがかかります。料金にチップが含まれているかどうかはベルトラの詳細を見れば明記されています。（たまに明記されていないツアーもありますが）料金はツアー会社へ支払われるもので、チップはクルーへ感謝の気持ちとして支払うものなので快く支払いましょう。
②海の生き物に触る、近づくことは法律により禁止
監視する人がたまに陸からドローンを海上に飛ばして違反者がいないかチェックしているそうです。
③写真はプロに任せた方がいい
カメラで撮ることに夢中になるくらいなら肉眼で思う存分見た方がいいと思います。プロが撮影した写真を50ドルで買えます。自分で撮れば節約になりますが、プロの技術には圧倒的に敵いません。
④1月はウェットスーツは必須
全員がレンタルしていました。幸い、当日はそこまで寒くなかったのでウェットスーツを着ていれば海中でも船上でも全く寒くはかなったです。
⑤泳げなくても大丈夫
ライフジャケットを着用するので、バタ足さえできれば大丈夫です。それでも不安な人には無料で浮き棒をレンタルしてくれます。体力に自信が無くても浮き棒を使えば楽に泳げます。
【催行会社へ】
①バナナ及びバナナの絵等の持込禁止について明記してほしい
当日バスの中でNGと言われましたが、バナナ模様のタオルや水着を持ち込んでいた場合、船で使うしどうしようもないです。ハワイの船乗りの間ではバナナは不吉なものらしいですが、日本人は知らない人が多いと思います。過去にバナナを持ち込んだ人がいて色々大変だったそうですが、知らないがためにその一人のせいで全員に迷惑がかかるのは悲しいです。
②準備運動は全員でしてほしい
バスが海についたときにガイドさんから「バスを降りたら準備運動してね」と言われましたが、ちゃんとする人もいればしない人もいました。トイレに行った人の中には時間がなくてできなかった人もいます。準備運動の時間が短くしっかりできなかった旦那は海の中で「足がつりそう」って言っていました。面倒ではあると思いますが、参加者が楽しく泳げるように全員で一緒に強制的に準備運動をさせることでそういうトラブルを未然に防ぐようにしてもらえたら嬉しいです。
③チップ込みの料金にしてほしい
チップ文化のない日本人の中にはチップを「取られる」と考える人がいます。（過去の書き込みで何件かチップへの不満があったので）また、相場がわからず、支払いの時に困る人もいます。（別のツアーですが「チップをいくらにすればいいの？」とこっそり相談を受けたことがあります）チップは感謝の気持ちであって、ツアーに満足すれば多めにしたり、不満なら減らしたりするものだというのはわかりますが、クレジットカードを持っている人は現金をあまり持ってこないので、急に言われたら困ると思います。チップ込みにしている他社は口コミ見たところチップへの不満をもつ利用者はいなかったし、なじみのない日本人にとってはチップ込みの方が助かります。チップのせいで☆が減るのは不本意だと思うのでご検討頂けたらと思います。

Captain Bob's Kaneohe Sandbar Snorkeling Tour & BBQ Lunch with Waikiki Pickup

VERY FUNNY AND BEAUTIFUL EXPERIENCE, WITH GOOD VIBES FROM ALL THE CREW IN A SECRET HAWAIIAN GEM.

Reviewed by: Javier

First of all, SANDBAR is one of the most beautiful places you’ll see. I’m not sure why is not in top 10 activities from Hawaii, but they told is more a local secret. Is a kind of mini beach in the middle of the ocean, with sand, you can bring your speaker, chairs, or whatever. Is a magic place.

The crew was full of good vibes, they made hamburgers for us and they also bring a guitar and make a great moment with that view. After the first stop at the sand bar they took us to snorkel and wauuu, such a nice place to do this, with giant turtles and a lot of fishes.

I have no bad comments for this one, was one my tops, and we do A LOT of activities this time. Trust us, you have to visit the Sandbar, and Captain Bob’s is a great choice to do this!

It was cloudy with rain, but at the snorkeling spot, there were so many sea turtles!!! I was so close that I almost bumped into one because of the waves!!! I had to desperately dodge one (laughs). After snorkeling, you have to travel for quite a long time, so it's essential to have something to wear to keep your wet body warm.

曇のち雨の天気でした・・が、
シュノーケリングポイントではウミガメたくさん！！！
近くで見ていたら波で押されてウミガメにぶつかりそうになるくらい！！！
一度除けるのに必死だった（笑）
シュノーケリング後にかなり長い時間移動するので、濡れた体が冷えないように羽織る物が必須です。

2.5-Hour Waikiki Guided Turtle Snorkel Tour, Snacks & Drinks - Holokai Catamaran

Amazing tour - a must do in Waikiki!

Reviewed by: Jennifer

This tour gave everything we wanted and more in only two hours. Not only did we see 7-8 turtles swimming right under us for 45 mins to an hour, but we also saw whales jumping around after when we were sailing around on the boat. Our tour guides were really friendly and followed the whales for a while for us to see. It was pretty amazing! I’d definitely recommend this tour for anyone even though it’s expensive. It’s totally worth it! My only regret was not buying a go pro or underwater camera because we didn’t get any pictures. So keep that in mind that the company don’t take professional pics for you to purchase, you need to take your own.

Encounter with a mother and baby honu (sea turtle). ホヌの親子に遭遇

Reviewed by: HAWAII

I was looking for a half-day tour and found this snorkeling tour! Once on the boat, the cheerful and handsome staff explained the safety instructions and other details. Since everything was in English, they asked if I was Japanese and provided me with information tailored for Japanese participants.

Onboard, drinks and snacks were available for purchase. They also had sunscreen available for free use. As noted in other reviews, most participants were foreigners.

I was able to swim freely while snorkeling for nearly an hour. A turtle came right up close! It seemed like the staff was feeding it. I even encountered a mother and baby turtle, which was a great experience.

After that, we went sailing and enjoyed the wind while taking lots of great photos with Diamond Head in the background!!

It was so much fun!

他の体験談も記載の通り、参加者はほぼ外国人です。

シュノーケルは1時間近く自由に泳げました。すぐ近くにカメがやってきます。スタッフの方が餌をあげているようでした。カメの親子にも遭遇でき、よい体験でした。

そのあとセイリングも風を感じながらダイヤモンドヘッドをバックに良い写真がたくさん取れました！！

The sea in November is cold... 11月の海は寒い...

Reviewed by: ももも

We departed at 5:30 AM, but the guide was very upbeat and explained everything well, which made me feel at ease participating. I was lucky to see dolphins right after entering the water! A dedicated underwater photographer took many pictures, so I didn't really need to take my own. There were jellyfish, and the sea in November is cold, so I rented a wetsuit (long-sleeved, knee-length) on the day. A few people experienced seasickness, so it's better to prepare some motion sickness medication. It gets cold after coming out of the water, so a windbreaker is essential. The restroom before boarding the boat is a portable toilet, so please bring your own tissue.

朝5：30出発であったが、ガイドさんのテンションが非常に高くて、説明も上手く、安心して参加できた。
海に入って、すぐイルカに会えたのでラッキーだった！
写真は専属の水中カメラマンがたくさん撮ってくれたので、特に自分で撮る必要はなかった。
クラゲがいるし、11月の海は寒いので、ウェットスーツ（長袖・膝丈）を、
当日借りた。
船酔い・波酔いが数名いたので、酔い止めは準備をした方が良い。
海から上がると寒いので、ウィンドブレーカーは必須。
船に乗る前のトイレは、仮設トイレなのでティッシュは持参です。

Just when I thought it was over with the sea turtles, we moved further out to sea after getting back on the boat and were able to see wild dolphins! They also served beer and snacks on the boat, which was fantastic!

The best time♡ 最高な時間♡

Reviewed by: はるか

In the morning, around 5:30, a private bus will come to pick you up at the hotel.

Wear your swimsuit and throw on a light T-shirt and shorts before heading out!

On the way, we learned about the islands and dolphins. We were also informed about the meaning of the name of the Private Dolphin Middle School. Our guide, Julie, was very entertaining and informative.

Since it was said to be cold, we rented wetsuits for $10. While we were used to the cold water, some others were shivering, so it might be better to rent one for more enjoyment. It might also be a good idea to have a bath towel. If you are prone to seasickness, it seems wise to take some medication beforehand.

Ten minutes after the boat departed, we were quite lucky that day (thanks to the captain's dad!) and quickly encountered a pod of about 30 dolphins! I was moved by the graceful swimming of the dolphins. A colleague who joined us even saw a dolphin rubbing its belly! ♡

We tried three times and were able to see them perfectly twice. In this tour, the youngest participant was a 4-year-old, and everyone was able to see the dolphins clearly, with about 30 people on the tour all looking very satisfied. (The confirmation that no one missed seeing them was also excellent!)

After that, we were able to swim with the great professor turtle at the snorkeling spot.

The photographer, John, was taking lots of pictures, so if you want photos, it might be a good idea to have him take plenty!

We brought an underwater camera, but we also wanted a three-shot with the turtle professor and professional photos of the dolphins, so we purchased them for $50! You can choose between data or USB. You can also decide later whether to buy the photos, so if you feel you got some great shots after the tour, it's worth purchasing!

On the way back, you will ride the bus in your wet swimsuit. You can return to the hotel around noon, so you can go out afterward.

It was an amazing time that makes you want to go to Hawaii just for this tour! My colleague kept saying that they would be happy to do this tour again while we were in Hawaii! Haha. I am filled with gratitude for Julie, our guide, and all the crew members of the tour. I look forward to seeing you all again! ♡

朝、5時半頃ホテルまで、専用バスでお迎えに来てくれます。

水着を来て、上に軽くＴシャツ、短パンなどを羽織って出発！

行きのバスでは島やイルカについてのお勉強。
私立イルカ中学の名前の意味も教えていただけます。
委員長（ガイド）のジュリさんのお話もとても楽しくて、勉強になりました。
　
寒いとのことだったので、ウェットスーツを10ドルでレンタルしました。私達は冷たい水にも慣れましたが、他の方は震えている方もいましたので、借りておいた方が楽しめるかもしれません。バスタオルもある方がいいかと思います。酔いやすい方は、薬も飲んでおく方がよさそうです。

船が出発して、10分。その日は運がかなりよく、（船長のパパのおかげ！）すぐに30頭ほどのイルカ先生の群れに遭遇！優雅に泳ぐイルカ先生の姿に感動しました。
一緒に行った同僚は、お腹をスリスリしているイルカ先生も見られたそうです♡

私たちは、３回チャレンジして、2回ばっちり見られました。今回のツアーでは、最年少４歳の子も参加していましたが、全員がイルカをバッチリ見られて、ツアー30人ほどみんな大満足の様子。（見ていない人がいないかの確認もすばらしい！！）

その後シュノーケリングスポットで、カメ大教授と泳ぐこともできました。

カメラマンのジョンくんも写真をバシバシ撮ってくれているので、写真がほしいなぁと思っている方は、どんどん撮ってもらうといいかも！

私たちは水中カメラも持っていましたが、カメ教授とのスリーショットやプロのイルカ達の写真も欲しいとなり、50ドルで購入！
データでもUSBでも選べます。写真を買うかどうかも後で決められるので、ツアーが終わっていい写真撮ってもらえたなぁという方は購入する価値ありです！

帰りはそのまま、濡れた水着でバスに乗ります。
昼頃にはホテルに帰って来られるので、その後も出かけることも可能です。

このツアーのためだけにハワイに行きたくなる最高な時間でした(^^)一緒に行った同僚は、ハワイにいる間、ずっと、このツアーでもよいと話していました！！笑
ガイドのジュリさん始め、ツアーのクルーの皆さんには感謝の気持ちでいっぱいです。また、お会いできるのを、楽しみにしています♡

If it's sunny, it's fun! The sandbar doesn't become a beach depending on the season. 晴れてれば楽しい！サンドバーは時期により砂浜にならない

Reviewed by: ボンジョルノ

Good points:
- The staff are all friendly and cheerful.
- I encountered sea turtles! Two were swimming, and two were under the coral reef while snorkeling.
- The view is amazing as you're surrounded by the ocean!
- There are quite a few fish around the coral reef.
- After snorkeling, you can play with the stand-up paddleboarding and canoeing equipment. It's really fun.
- The food was surprisingly delicious.
- The boat ride was short, so I didn't have to worry about seasickness (though it depends on the person).

Bad points:
- They emphasize the sandbar, but there isn't much time when it actually becomes a beach, is there? In the afternoons during this season, it was only about knee-deep.
- It is quite dependent on the weather. Since it was January, it would be nice if it was sunny with little wind, but the water felt cold. It's good to bring plenty of warm clothing.
- The snorkeling is back and forth along the coral. It felt a bit short on time. It might be just right for some people when it's cold. However, with many participants, it can get crowded if you bump into each other.

良い点
・スタッフはみんな気さくで明るい
・海ガメに出会えた！2匹は泳いでて、2匹はシュノーケル時にサンゴ礁の下に
・一面の海に降ろされるので景色が素晴らしい！
・魚もそこそこ珊瑚礁にいます
・シュノーケル後に、サップ、カヌー道具があるので遊べます。かなり楽しい
・ご飯が意外と美味しい
・乗船時間は短くて船酔いは心配なかった（人によりますが

悪い点
・サンドバーを強調しているが、ほとんど砂浜になる時間はないのでは？この時期の午後は膝下くらいでした
・かなり天気に左右される。1月というのもありましたが、晴れて風が少ないと良いですが、水は冷たく感じます。たくさん着れるものを持って
行くのよいです
・シュノーケルはサンゴに沿って往復。少し時間は短めに感じた。寒い時など人によってはちょうど良いかも。ただ、参加者が多くて足が当たったら邪魔になる

2.5-Hour Turtle Snorkel Sail Tour from Waikiki Beach - Cold Brew Coffee, Snacks & One Drink Included

Had a lovely time

Reviewed by: DanGold

Great hosts, gorgeous weather and lovely location. We saw plenty of turtles and catamaran wasn't crowded which was nice. Our children used their own goggles which wasn't a problem, but if we didn't have them the provided snorkles would not have fit, but all in all a lovely time. Would recommend.

サンドバー　キャプテンブルース　天国の海®︎シュノーケリングクルーズ　SUPや浮き輪などレンタルアイテムも！＜午前・午後／日本語クルー＞

The weather was great and the scenery was amazing! 天候に恵まれ景色は最高！

Reviewed by: はちみ

We participated with my parents in their 60s and my husband. We were picked up by the hotel and drove for about 50 minutes to board the boat. The boat stopped near the sandbar, and we walked to the shallowest area. The sea water was cold, but the weather was nice, and since the water was only about calf-deep at the shallowest point, we could see the beautiful sandy beach!

We snorkeled in water about 5 to 6 meters deep while wearing life jackets. I’m not a strong swimmer, but thanks to the life jacket and snorkel mask, I had a great time and was surprised to see sea turtles up close about three times!

After snorkeling, we could also do kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding. There was a couple with small children; the parents enjoyed snorkeling while their kids were brought close to them on another staff boat. I thought it was wonderful how considerate they were.

Additionally, there wasn't a specific time or place to change, so those who wanted to take off their swimsuits were able to wrap towels around themselves and change during free time.

60代の両親と私たち夫婦で参加しました。
ホテルに迎えに来てもらい、50分程度車で走って乗船します。
サンドバー近くに船を止め、歩いて一番浅いところに向かいます。海の水は冷たかったですが、天気が良く、一番浅いところでふくらはぎくらいの水深だったため、砂浜も綺麗に見られました！
シュノーケルは水深5〜6mくらいのところでライフジャケット着用で行いました。私はあまり泳げませんが、ライフジャケットとシュノーケルマスクのおかげで充分楽しめ、ホヌも３回ほど目の前で見られ、あまりの近さに驚きました！
シュノーケルのあと、カヤックやSUPもできましたし、小さいお子さん連れのご夫婦で、シュノーケルを両親が楽しみ、お子さんは他のスタッフの船で両親の近くまで来させてもらっていました。気遣いがあって素晴らしいと思いました。
また、着替える時間や場所等は特にないため、水着を脱ぎたい方は自由時間などにタオルなど巻いて着替えておられました。

It was a wonderful day with no wind, and the view of the distant Kualoa mountains was crystal clear. I checked the low tide times during my trip and participated in the morning Heaven on the Sea tour. Surrounded by coral, I was able to swim with sea turtles while snorkeling. I also got to see many colorful tropical fish, and the marine activities were plentiful and very enjoyable. Next time, I would like to go when it’s - feet.

当日は風もなく遠くクアロアの山並みまでくっきりと見えるほど晴れ渡った素晴らしい日でした。サンドバーは旅行中で最も干潮の時間を調べて朝の天国の海ツアーに参加しました。
珊瑚にかこまれていてシュノーケリングでは海亀と泳げました。色とりどりの熱帯魚もたくさん見ることも出来ましたし、マリンアクティビティも充実していてとても楽しめました。次回は－フィートになるときに行ってみたいです。

It was really awesome experience due to the friendliness of the crew and the weather we had that day was just perfect. The burger that we were given for lunch was perhaps the best burger I've had on the sea. Definitely better than my expectations.

ハナウマ湾シュノーケリング　ベテラン日本語ガイドがご案内する少人数制ツアー　貸切プランあり＜半日＞

Even if you're not good at swimming, you can manage somehow. 泳ぎが得意でなくてもどうにか

Reviewed by: えいたい

I was able to see a lot of different types of fish. Unfortunately, I didn't encounter any sea turtles. The coral reef wasn't as colorful as I had hoped, but the water clarity was high. On January 7th, the conditions were said to be the best of the year, and the waves were calm. However, my wife and children, who are not great with the ocean, ended up feeling seasick, possibly due to the wetsuits we rented for warmth, and they couldn't participate until the end. That said, I and the other participants were able to swim comfortably, so it should be fine unless you're really not good with the ocean.

When we were dropped off at Hilton Hawaiian Village, our tour guide Dan recommended some great lunch and dinner spots near the hotel. We went to both places right away, and they were both fantastic. My two kids were also very satisfied, thank you!

たくさん種類の魚を見ることができました。残念ながらウミガメには出会えず。珊瑚礁は色とりどりとまでは行きませんが、透明度は高かったです。１月７日は今年1番のコンディションということで波は穏やかでしたが、元々海が苦手な妻と子供は、寒さ対策のためレンタルしたウェットスーツが原因なのか酔ってしまい、最後までは参加できませんでした。ただ、私や他の参加者は楽に泳げていたので、よほど海が苦手でなければ大丈夫のはずです。
ヒルトンハワイアン ビレッジに送り届けてもらう際にツアーガイドのダンさんに、ホテル近くの美味しいランチ、ディナーのお店を教えていただき、早速たべに行ったところ、どちらの店も最高でした。２人の子供達も大満足でした、ありがとうございました。

サンドバー天使の海　シュノーケリング＆ウミガメウォッチクルーズ　船上のBBQグリルで焼くハンバーガーランチ付き！＜午前／日本語クルー＞

Snorkeling was amazing! シュノーケリング最高でした！

Reviewed by: エリサ

My husband wasn't feeling up to swimming in the ocean, but once we reached the sandbar, we played beach volleyball and got caught up in snorkeling, losing track of time and having a great time. As it was my husband's first time snorkeling, he was amazed by the beautiful coral reefs and the schools of fish, repeatedly exclaiming, "This is great! It's beautiful!" Since there were staff who spoke Japanese, we felt no anxiety, and as the boat was primarily for Japanese tourists, we made friends with the people sitting next to us. Under the blue sea and sky of Hawaii, we spent time with the bright and kind staff, learned about the Hawaiian spirit of cherishing nature, and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Thank you very much.

夫は海で泳ごうという気持ちになれなかったのですが、サンドバーについたら、ビーチバレーをしたり、シュノーケリングに夢中になったり、時間を忘れて楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。シュノーケリングが初めての夫は、きれいなサンゴ礁や群がる魚達の様子に感動して「よかった～！きれいだ～！」の連発でした。日本語のできるスタッフでしたから不安もなく、さらに日本人観光客用の船でしたからほとんど日本人で隣の席の方たちとも仲良くなりました。ハワイの青い海と青空の下で、明るく優しいスタッフと一緒に過ごして、自然を大切にするハワイスピリットを学び、満喫しました。ありがとうございました。

It was scary for small children. 小さな子供には怖かった

Reviewed by: とうちゃん

The sandbar was deeper than I imagined from the pictures, and my 6-year-old child seemed to struggle for breath every time a wave hit, quickly wanting to get back on the boat. The weather that day wasn't very good, and the wind made it quite cold, which contributed to my child's lack of enjoyment. However, the local guides and all the staff were really fun and great people, which was wonderful. I hope to go again in the summer when my child is a bit older.

画像から想像したよりもサンドバーは深さがあって6歳のうちの子は波を被るたびに息苦しそうにしてすぐにボートへ上がってしまいました。
当日は天気があまりよくなくて、風で結構寒かったことも子供が楽しめなかった原因になってしまいました。
けれど、現地のガイドをはじめスタッフの皆さんは本当にとても楽しく、よい人ばかりですごくよかったです。
もう少し子供が大きくなったら、今度は夏に行ってみたいなと思います。

イルカ中学　野生のイルカ＆ウミガメシュノーケリングクルーズ　高速ボートでイルカ遭遇率アップ！＜少人数制／ワイキキ＆コオリナ送迎可／日本語／ランチ付き＞

I saw dolphins, whales, sea turtles, and other fish! イルカも見れたし、鯨も見れたし、ウミガメも見れたし、他の魚も見れた！

Reviewed by: あかふく

I participated in the early morning tour on January 3rd with my middle school son. I was worried about the weather forecast, as it mentioned strong winds (which could make us seasick) and low temperatures (which seemed cold), but in the end, it turned out to be a great experience.

Since I had read other people's experiences, both of us took motion sickness medication before getting on the boat, which might be why we didn't feel seasick at all. The cold wasn't too bad after we got off the boat and entered the sea the first time, but after getting back on the boat the second time, I started shivering. However, I had seen from others' experiences that it was a good idea to bring a bath towel and something to wear over our clothes, so we brought bath towels and two of the non-adhesive hot packs each, which helped us warm up quickly. The local guide on the boat even asked, "What is that?" (laughs).

On the bus ride there, we heard various stories from our guide, Julie, and once we were on the boat, everything flowed smoothly. Despite the large number of participants, there were no issues with anyone missing out on anything, which was surprising.

We spotted dolphins relatively quickly after getting on the boat, and everyone jumped in to swim close to them, but it was quite hard (laughs). I don't usually do any sports, so I lagged behind everyone and couldn't see the dolphins underwater until the end. My son said, "The dolphin was swimming right below me!" and I thought that was enough, but when I found out that another person and I hadn't seen the dolphins yet, the local guide helped push me and pull me closer to the dolphins, and I was able to see them safely.

The first time we entered the sea to see the dolphins, I was constantly moving my body, so I was out of breath (laughs), but I wasn't too cold after getting back on the boat. However, during the second time in the sea, we swam more leisurely to watch the sea turtles and other fish, so I didn't move my body much, and I felt quite cold after getting back on the boat.

It was great that we had a photographer with us who took lots of pictures. I brought my own underwater camera, but I had no time to take photos while swimming after the dolphins (laughs).

On the boat, the local guides constantly made us laugh with gestures and communicated with us through gestures, so I think even those who can't speak English can enjoy it quite a bit.

We were able to regain our body temperature by eating warm spam onigiri and snacks, and I think it was a well-organized tour.

1月3日の朝早いほうのツアーに中学生の息子と参加しました。
天気予報を見ていると、風も強いし（船に酔いそう）、気温も低めだし（寒そう）、日本を出発する頃から心配していたのですが、参加した結果、良かったです(^^)
他のかたの体験談を見ていたので、船に乗る前に酔い止め薬を二人とも服用していたせいか船に酔う事もなかったです。
寒さは、一度目に船をおりて海に入った後はそうでもなかったのですが、二度目に海に入って船にあがってからはガタガタ震えてしまいました。
でもそれも、他のかたの体験談からバスタオルや上に羽織るものを持参したほうが良いというのを見ていたので、バスタオルと上に羽織るものと、そして我が家は貼らないタイプのホカロンを一人二つずつ持参していったのですぐにおさまりました。船に乗っていた地元のガイドのかたから「それは何か？」と聞かれましたが(笑)

行きのバスの中ではガイドのジュリーさんからいろいろなお話が聞けましたし、船に乗ってからも流れがスムーズで、参加人数がかなり多かったにも関わらず、誰かに何かがわたっていないなどという事がなかったのが驚きでした。

船に乗って割とすぐにイルカが見つかり、ドボンドボンと全員飛び込んでイルカの近くまで泳いでいきましたが、これが結構ハードで(笑)
普段スポーツなど全くしない私は、皆さんから遅れ気味で最後までイルカを水中で見る事がかなわず、息子は「イルカが真下に泳いでいた！」と言っていたのでもうそれでじゅうぶんと思っていたのですが、私ともう一人のかたがまだ水中でイルカを見ていないと知ると、地元のガイドのかたが私の背中を押して下さったり手を引っ張って下さったりしながらイルカの近くまで連れて行って下さり、無事見る事が出来ました。

一度目にイルカを見に海に入った時は、常に必死で身体を動かしていたせいか息はあがっていたものの(笑)、船にあがってからもそれほど寒くなかったのですが、二度目に海に入った時にはそれぞれゆったり泳ぎながらウミガメや他の魚の泳ぎを見る感じだったので、あまり身体を動かさなかったせいか船に上がってからかなり寒かったです。

今回カメラマンのかたの同行があったので写真をいっぱい撮ってもらえてよかったです。自分でも水中カメラを持参して行ったのですが、イルカを追いかけて泳いでいる時は撮影する余裕が全くなかったりしたので(笑)

船の上で、常に地元のガイドのかたがたがジェスチャーで笑わせてくださったり、ジェスチャーだけでやりとりして下さったりしてくれたので、英語がしゃべれないかたでもかなり楽しめると思います。

温かいスパムおにぎりや、スナックを食べて体温を取り戻せましたし、いたれりつくせりのツアーだったと思います。
