All Reviews for Snorkeling Cruises & Tours

I’m really glad I chose this tour for my first snorkeling experience among various options! The two instructors were very experienced and taught us everything in great detail. It was also very reassuring to have instructions in Japanese. I decided to rent a wetsuit on the day, and they were very accommodating with that as well. Everyone participating in the tour was friendly and nice, making for a very enjoyable time. Thanks to this tour, I was able to learn how to breathe properly and clear my ears. We snorkeled from one end of Hanauma Bay to the other for an hour. Afterward, they explained where we swam by showing us an aerial view of Hanauma Bay, which was also moving. Unfortunately, I didn’t get to see any turtles, but I was able to see a lot of fish.

色々なツアーがある中から初めてシュノーケリングをする私はこのツアーを選んでとてもよかった！と思います。
インストラクターのお二人は経験豊かでとても丁寧に細かいことまで教えてくださいます。日本語で教えてもらえることもとても安心です。ウェットスーツを当日借りることにしましたが、それにも快く対応してくださいました。ツアーに参加されている方々も皆さん気さくでいい方ばかりでとても楽しい時間が過ごせました。呼吸の仕方と耳抜きをこのツアーに参加したお陰で私は習得できました。1時間ハナウマベイの端から端までシュノーケリングします。終わってからどこを泳いだかをハナウマベイを上から見て説明してくださり、それも感動します。残念ながら亀には会えなかったですが、たくさんの魚を見ることができました。

We had a great time snorkeling in Hanauma Bay with Blue Hawaii Divers. I am not a great swimmer, but our guide helped make me feel comfortable. I felt at ease even when we were out in deeper parts of the bay (~20 ft, I’d guess). We saw so many fish. Snorkeling is a must-do experience, and I think paying for a guided tour is worth it for their expertise and tips. We compared several guided snorkel options before booking this one, and we found this one to be the best value.
Just some other info: we met the group at Hanauma Bay rather than getting picked up, and it was easy to find the meetup spot. Everyone wears an inflatable life vest. The guides had water and chips for everyone after. They also took pictures with a GoPro during our snorkel activity, which were made freely available on the company’s Facebook page.

All I can say is it was exactly what we wanted. Great Great and Great!

The crew was kind and all very fun, which was great. This was my third time participating, and the lunch was very delicious. I was also able to take pictures of the sacred turtles in Hawaii. It was an activity I definitely want to do again next time.

クルーも優しくて、楽しい方ばかりでとても良かったです。
今回3回目の参加で昼食もとてもおいしくて、ハワイでは神聖なカメの写真も撮ることができました。
次回も是非行きたいアクティビティでした。

I had hoped for a morning tour, but since there were no openings, I joined the afternoon tour instead. I was worried about the water depth, but there was indeed water up to my knees at the sandbar. Still, I was able to see the boundary between the deep blue sea and the clear light blue water, and the scenery was very beautiful. It seems that the encounter rate with sea turtles on this tour is high; they came close to us not only while snorkeling but also when we were in the shallow water. In addition to snorkeling, we could also do activities like stand-up paddleboarding and canoeing. For those who are anxious about snorkeling, it seems there are other activities available to enjoy. As for the meal, we were served Leonard's malasadas right after boarding. They were freshly baked and still warm, so they were very delicious. The barbecue was also served buffet-style, allowing us to eat as much as we wanted. The food was tasty, so I recommend going with an empty stomach. The guides were all very friendly, and I had a great time.

午前のツアーを希望していましたが、空きがなくて午後のツアーに参加しました。水深を心配していましたが、やはりサンドバーでも、膝まで水がありました。それでも、 青く濃い海と澄んだ水色の海の境界は見ることができ、景色はとても良かったです。また、こちらのツアーでのウミガメの遭遇率は高いようで、シュノーケルの時はもちろん、浅瀬にいた時にもカメの方から近寄ってきてくれました。 アクティビティは、シュノーケルの他、SAPやカヌーもできました。シュノーケルに不安がある方は、他のことをして遊べるようです。食事は、乗船してすぐにレナーズのマラサダが配られました。まだ温かい焼き立てをいただけるので、とても美味しかったです。バーベキューもビュッフェ形式で好きなものを好きなだけ食べられます。味も美味しいので、お腹を空かせて行くことをオススメします。ガイドさんもみなさん感じが良く、楽しい時間を過ごせました。

The timing was early November. It was cloudy with no sun, and it was cold. If there had been wind, I would have frozen to death. The tour guide said the sea was peaceful with almost no waves, but I still felt a bit seasick.

The biggest mistake was not considering the high tide times. (I think it would have been good to have a prior explanation when making the reservation.) I participated in the morning tour, but it coincided exactly with high tide, and even in shallow areas, the water was up to my chest. I couldn't walk on the sandy bottom as seen in the photos.

It was cold when I got in the water, and I felt seasick when I got back on the boat, so there was no escape. If there had been sandy areas, it would have been better...

In any case, since it's an activity involving nature, whether you can take great photos depends on the weather. It was nice to see sea turtles, and I enjoyed the stand-up paddleboarding as well.

時期は11月頭。曇りで太陽が出ず、寒かった。
もし風があったら凍え死んでた。波はほとんどなくpeacefulな海だとツアーガイドは言っていたが、それでも少し酔った。
一番失敗したのは、満潮の時間を考えなかったこと。（予約時に事前説明があっても良かったと思う）午前ツアーで参加したが、満潮の時間とちょうど被り、浅い所でも胸の深さまであった。写真で見るように砂地を歩くことはできなかった。
海に入ると寒いし、船に上がると酔うしで逃げ場がなかった。砂地があればまだ。。。

いずれにせよ自然相手のアクティビティなので、映える写真が撮れるかどうかも天候次第。
ウミガメが見れたのは良かった。SUPも楽しめた。

There were about 30 participants. We encountered a pod of dolphins after about 30 minutes on the boat. They were diving a lot, and we enjoyed watching them from the boat. When we got into the water, several dolphins were swimming around playfully, and they were really cute. Even if you can't swim, the crew pulled a float to take you to where the dolphins were.

The boat was small, and perhaps due to the high waves that day, a few people got seasick and couldn't enjoy the water later on, which was unfortunate. I wouldn't recommend this for those who are prone to seasickness, but it was a great tour where you could meet dolphins and turtles.

参加人数は30名程いました。
船に乗って30分くらいでイルカの群れに遭遇。
たくさんダイブしてて船の上からでも楽しめました。いざ海に入ってみると数頭のイルカがじゃれ合いながら泳いでて、すごく可愛かったです。泳げなくてもクルーが浮き輪を引っ張ってイルカのいるところまで連れてってくれました。
船が小さく、その日は波が高かったのか数名船酔いでダウンしていて、途中から気分が治らず全然海に入れなかったのが残念でした。
船酔いする方にはオススメ出来ないと思いますが、イルカやカメには出会えるとても良いツアーでした。

I was able to see sea turtles quite closely, and the ocean was very beautiful and moving. During snorkeling, I couldn't find many sea turtles.

海ガメがかなり近くで見れましたし、海もとてもきれいで感動的でした。シュノーケルの時はあまり海ガメを見つけれませんでした。

I understand that it's meant to be entertaining, but when the dolphins appeared, all the staff shouted, "Look down!" If it happened once or twice, it would be fine, but it went on for a long time.

On the day of the event, the waves were high, and more than ten people, including myself, were feeling nauseous.

Given that situation, I wanted to see the dolphins at my own pace, but it felt quite rushed, which made the nausea worse.

Also, the photos were only of the dolphins and not with them, so they were a bit disappointing.

楽しませるためとは思いますが、イルカが現れた時スタッフ全員で「下見てーーー！」と叫ばれます、一回や2回なら良いですがずっとです。

当日は波が高く、自分も含めて10人以上吐いてました。

そんな状況だからイルカも自分のペースで見たかったのにかなり焦らせる感じで、さらに酔いが回りました。

写真もイルカと写るのではなくイルカのみの写真なので微妙です。

We participated with our child! At first, my son was scared, but thanks to the staff, he ended up having a great time in the sea! They prepared a floating carpet on the water for the kids to play on, provided toys, and for those who didn't go snorkeling, they offered a small boat tour, making it a really enjoyable program! The food was delicious and fantastic too!

Above all, the staff was kind! We are grateful for their consideration in making sure both us and our child had fun! It was amazing to see sea turtles too!

子連れでの参加でした！が心配なく、初めに怖がっていた息子もスタッフさんのおかげで最後には楽しく海での時間を過ごしていました！！子ども達が遊べるように海の上に浮かぶじゅうたんのようなものを用意してくれて、その上でおもちゃを用意してくれたり、シュノーケリングをしなかった人には小さなボートで周遊してくれたり、すごく楽しめるプログラムでした！ご飯も美味しくて最高でした！！
とにかくスタッフが親切です！私達や子どもにまで楽しめるよう配慮して下さり感謝しています！ウミガメも見れて最高でした！

Since there are good options available, I think it would be better to include the details on the tour page.

The photos and videos were $79. Groups that opted for this option wear special rubber bands, which allows them to receive priority for photos. I was satisfied with the results. However, picking up the USB at the office near DFS the next day was a bit of a hassle. It would be nice if they could send it to Japan for an additional $15.

The wetsuit was $10. I tend to get hot, but it was a good decision to wear it. The seawater was quite cold.

せっかく良いオプションがあるので、
詳細をツアーページに記載した方がよいと思います。

写真&動画は$79でした。
このオプションを申し込んだグループは専用のゴムバンドを身に着けます。
そうする事で優先的に写真をとってくれます。出来栄えは満足です。
ただ翌日以降にUSBを
DFS付近のオフィスに受け取りにいくのがちょっとめんどう。
+$15で日本に送ってくれるような・・・

ウエットスーツ
$10でした。
暑がりですが着ておいて正解でした。
結構、海水が冷たかったです。

We participated with our 6-year-old and 9-year-old children. It was their first time snorkeling, and it was only my second time since our honeymoon. We considered various Hanauma Bay tours and snorkeling by boat, but we chose this one because of its high ratings. Since it was just the four of us that day, our 6-year-old was taken out to the ocean, and we even got to see a honu! It was so lucky that it came up for air while we were watching it sleep. After a long time away from the ocean, I struggled with breathing through my mouth for an hour, but we had a special experience as a family! Before we went out, we debated whether we would see dolphins or turtles, but as beginners, we were glad we chose this. We became big fans of the turtles and bought a turtle plushie to take home. We also had many photos taken! Thank you very much.

6歳と9歳の子供連れて参加しました。子供達は初シュノーケリング、親も新婚旅行以来の二回目です。 色んなハナウマ湾ツアー、船に乗ってのシュノーケリングと迷いましたが、評価が高かったのでこちらにさせていただきました。 この日は私達四人だけということもあり、6歳の次男も沖まで連れていってくれて、ホヌにも会えました！ しかも寝てた所を息継ぎをしに上まで上がってきてくれたり、とてもラッキーでした。 久しぶりの海、一時間口呼吸で必死でしたが(私が)、家族で特別な経験をさせてもらいました！ 出かける前はイルカか？カメか？？と散々悩みましたが、初心者の私達はこちらにして良かったです。すっかりカメちゃんファンになってウミガメのぬいぐるみをかって帰国しました。
写真も沢山撮っていただきました！ありがとうございました。

This was my second time. This time I participated with my family. It would be perfect if the weather is nice; I would like to consider the timing and try again next time.

今回2回目
今回は家族で参加でした。天気が良ければ最高ですね、時期を考えて次回再チャレンジしたいと思います。

I participated at my sister's request to see dolphins!
We had an early departure, so I was very sleepy, but the kind and cool staff, along with the sweet and lovely team, made the time on the boat enjoyable.
We were able to swim with both dolphins and turtles safely!
It became a wonderful memory.
Thank you so much.
I am truly grateful to all the staff led by Shota.
If there’s another opportunity, I would appreciate it.
The pineapple we ate together after coming back from the sea and the warm drinks were also very delightful.

イルカに逢いたいという妹の希望で、
参加しました！
朝早い出発で、とても眠かったですが
優しくてカッコいいスタッフさんと
優しくて可愛いスタッフさん方が、
船での時間を盛り上げてくださり
無事イルカとカメ両方と泳ぐことができました☆
とても素敵な思い出になりました。
本当にありがとうございます。
ショウタさん筆頭とするスタッフの皆様には
感謝しかないです^ ^
また機会がありましたら
宜しくお願い致します。
海からあがった後の皆で食べたパイナップル、
あたたかい飲み物もとても嬉しかったです。

There were also 2 or 3 sea turtles that we could see, and on the sandbar, the staff actively took photos for us.

It was a lot of fun!

ウミガメも２・３頭いて見ることができ、
サンドバーでは積極的にスタッフの方が写真を撮ってくれて

とても楽しかったです。

I was so excited to see so many dolphins and turtles. The dolphins jumped and spun around, putting on quite a show, and the turtles came close enough to touch, so I was trying to avoid touching them. Later, I heard that it was fine if the turtles touched me, so I should have just stayed still!

イルカもカメもたくさん来てくれて大興奮でした。
イルカはジャンプや回転などショーばりに色々やってくれたし、カメも触れそうなとこまで来てくれるので、触らないように逃げてました。
後で聞いたら、カメから触ってくる分には問題ないということだったので、ジッとしてればよかった〜

This time, my 69-year-old grandmother also participated. We were able to see dolphins and sea turtles from the boat, which was enjoyable. My daughter, who was looking forward to it the most, got seasick. I should have given her something as a precaution since I wasn't sure if she would get seasick. The staff were all kind, and it was fun. I wasn't confident in my swimming, but the staff stayed by my side, and I was able to catch up with the dolphins and see them.

今回、69歳祖母も参加。船の上からでもイルカ、海ガメが見れて楽しめました。
一番楽しみしていた娘が船酔い。。
船酔いするかわからなかったので予防で飲ませておけば良かったです。
スタッフはみんな優しく、楽しかったです。
泳ぎに自信が無かった私ですがスタッフが横についてくれてどうにかイルカに追いつき見ることができました。

On the last day, I joined this tour to find a place to play in Honolulu in the morning. We took a boat from downtown Honolulu to a spot that wasn't too far away. Honestly, I thought it was a bit too close, but I was able to see at least three sea turtles! The water was a bit deep, so it wasn't incredibly clear, but the sea turtles were golden and divine! Moreover, I was able to see them come up to the surface for air, and at that moment, I was truly moved to be swimming so close to the sea turtles!

The cruising after snorkeling was just a slow ride around near Honolulu, so it wasn't particularly exciting, but I was very satisfied because I got to see the sea turtles!

最終日、午前中にホノルルで遊べるところを探してこのツアーに参加しました。ホノルルの中心部から船に乗って、それほど離れていないところまで移動、正直近すぎるポイントだなと思いましたが、ウミガメが少なくとも3頭見れました！少し水深は深いところなので海がめちゃめちゃキレイというわけではないのですが、ウミガメは金色で神々しい！しかも息継ぎに海面に顔を出すところまで見れて、その時にはほんとに間近でウミガメと泳ぐことが出来て感動です！
シュノーケリングした後のクルージングは、ホノルル近くをゆっくり走行しただけなので、それほど楽しいこともなかったのですが、ウミガメを見れたので大満足です！

This time, we visited Hawaii for our honeymoon and wanted to experience the elusive beach "Sandbar," which only appears during low tide, so we joined Captain Bruce's Paradise of the Sea tour. We were very satisfied as we were able to experience things that we wouldn't have been able to do on our own, such as walking while taking photos in the shallow sea and enjoying snorkeling in the emerald green waters, where we saw coral reefs and sea turtles. During the time we went, some areas were deep enough to reach up to our chests, even in the shallow waters. I think it's a good idea to consider the tide and time of day if you're concerned about that.

Lunch was also delicious, with plenty of meat and vegetables. I think the portion size was satisfying. Additionally, the crew was very kind and attentive, allowing us to enjoy the activities with peace of mind. If I have the opportunity to go to Hawaii again, I would like to participate in Captain Bruce's tour once more.

今回は新婚旅行で初めてハワイを訪れ、引き潮のときだけ現れる幻のビーチ｢サンドバー｣にぜひいきたいと思いキャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーに参加しました。
浅瀬の海で写真を撮りながら散歩をしたり、エメラルドグリーンの海でシュノーケリングを楽しみながらサンゴ礁やウミガメを見たりと自分たちだけではなかなか体験することのできないことを経験できたのでとても満足しています。私たちが行った時間帯は、浅瀬と言っても場所によっては胸辺りまで浸かるところもありました。気にする方は潮の満ち引き、時間帯等考慮のうえ行かれるといいと思います。
お昼ご飯もお肉や野菜が盛りだくさんでおいしかったです。ボリュームもあり満足できると思います。また、クルーの方もとても親切でいろいろ心配りしてくださるので安心してアクティビティを楽しむことができました。
ハワイに行く機会があればキャプテンブルースのこのツアーにもう１度参加したいと思っています。

I participated with my 2-year-old daughter (free) and two friends. The shuttle bus had a mix of foreigners and Japanese, and the boat was exclusively for Japanese, so I felt very comfortable without any language barriers. The sea turtle came quite close, and my daughter was thrilled. At the Angel's Sea, we wore life jackets and enjoyed playing in the water together. The current was faster than I expected, so if you have small children, it might be wise to stay close to the boat.

I wasn't expecting much from the hamburgers served on the boat, but they were really delicious.

The snorkeling wasn't very clear, but there were plenty of fish, and it seemed like some people even had sea turtles come close to them, so everyone was having a great time.

There's no way I could have done this on my own, so joining the tour was definitely the right choice.

2歳の娘（無料）、友人と3人で参加しました。送迎バスは外国人、日本人の混載で船は日本人専用だったので言葉の不安がなくとても利用しやすいと思います。
ホヌはかなり近いところまで来てくれ娘もおおはしゃぎ。天使の海ではライフジャケットを着て3人で水遊び楽しみました。思ったより流れが速かったので小さい子連れなら船の近くから離れないように気を付けた方がいいかもしれません。

船の上で食べるハンバーガーは期待していなかったのですが、とっても美味しかったです。

シュノーケリングでは海の中はクリアではなく濁っていました。しかし魚がたくさんいて、ホヌも近くまで来た人もいたようでみんなとても楽しんでいました。

個人では絶対に来れないので、ツアーに参加して大正解。

In the morning, although it was a bit early, I was able to make good use of my time enjoying snorkeling and a cruise. The staff was friendly, and the views from Diamond Head and off the coast of Waikiki were great. The weather on the day I participated was also favorable, and I even got to see a honu (sea turtle), making it the best morning activity.

午前中、少し早めだけれど時間を有効に使ってシュノーケル&クルーズが楽しめて、スタッフもフレンドリーでダイアモンドヘッドやワイキキ沖からの景色も良かったです。参加した日は天候にも恵まれて、ホヌにも会えて最高の朝活でした。

We participated as a family of three with our 6-year-old child. There was a brief light rain on the day, but it stopped quickly, so there were no issues. Our tour had five participants, and the instructor led our son, who had a great time. In fact, our son monopolized the instructor, and I felt a bit sorry for the other two participants. At the beach, we saw a lot of beautiful fish.

This was our first experience with serious snorkeling, and everyone, including the child, was very satisfied with the content. The weather was somewhat cloudy that day, so it got a bit cold towards the end. I think wearing a wetsuit would help alleviate the cold and allow for a more enjoyable snorkeling experience.

The instructor was very kind and taught us well.

I would love to participate in this tour again if the opportunity arises.

小1(6歳)の子供と一緒に家族3人で参加しました。当日は小雨が一瞬ぱらついてましたがすぐ止んで問題無しでした。我々含め5人のツアーとなりましたが、インストラクターが息子をリードしてくれて子供もとても楽しんでくれました。というか息子がインストラクターを一人占めしてしまい、他の参加者のお二人には申し訳なかったです。ビーチでは魚が沢山見れてとても綺麗でした。
本格的なシュノーケリングは初めてでしたが、子供もみんな満足できる内容でした。
当日は曇りがちな天気だったので、最後は寒くなってきました。ウェットスーツを来た方が寒さも気にならずにシュノーケリングを楽しめると思います。

インストラクターの方はとても優しく教えてくれていい方でした。

機会があればまた参加したいツアーです。

I was very anxious about participating alone, but I had a great time! I was really lucky this time, as I was able to see dolphins three times while swimming, and they came close to the boat on the way back and played with us, which was very moving! Next time, I want to go with friends.

During the photo session, the attendant announced loudly into the microphone that I was a solo participant, which made me feel a bit sad.

But this tour is definitely worth it!

1人参加とても不安でしたが、とても楽しかったです！
今回本当に運が良く、3回泳ぎながらイルカを見ることができたし、帰りの船に近寄ってきて一緒に泳いで遊んでくれたので、とても感動しました！
次は、友人といきたいと思いました。

写真の時は、アテンドさんがお一人様参加の方ですねと大きくマイクで言われて呼ばれたので少し悲しい気分になりました。笑


でも、このツアーは間違いなしです！

- Sandbar
You can clearly see the boundary between the deep blue sea and the clear light blue water. In the distance, you can see the mountains of Oahu and Kualoa Ranch. The view was amazing.

- Sea Turtles
The encounter rate with sea turtles seems to be quite high, and we were able to see them too. They came close enough that we could almost touch them (though touching is apparently not allowed).

- Activities
In addition to snorkeling, we were also able to try stand-up paddleboarding (you can challenge both as long as time permits). Even small children were snorkeling.

- Meals
You can enjoy freshly grilled barbecue on the boat. In tours like this, the quality of the food can sometimes be lacking, but the taste was very good.

- GoPro and More
They also offer GoPro rentals (for a fee). Additionally, they sell marine shoes and motion sickness bands. Since the sandbar has some rough areas, it's better to have marine shoes.

The guides were cheerful, making it a fun tour.

・サンドバー
　青く濃い海と澄んだ水色の海の境界がはっきり見られます。遠くにはオアフ島の山々やクアロアランチ。最高の景色でした。

・ウミガメ
　ウミガメの遭遇率は相当高いようで、私達も見ることができました。向こうから近寄ってきてほとんど触れるくらい（触るのはNGらしいです）の近さまで来てくれました。

・アクティビティ
　シュノーケルの他、SAPに挑戦することもできました（時間の許す限り、両方に挑戦することもできます）。小さなお子様もシュノーケルをされていました。

・食事
　船上で焼きたてのバーベキューをいただけます。この手のツアーだと食事の質はイマイチなこともありますが、味もとてもおいしかったです。

・GoProなど
　GoProの貸し出しもしてくれます（有料）。その他マリンシューズや酔ドメバンドなどの販売もあります。サンドバーはザラザラした部分もあるので、マリンシューズはあったほうがいいでしょう。

ガイドの皆さんも明るくて、楽しいツアーになりました。

I participated with my family in their 80s, and it seems everyone had a great time. The hospitality from the staff and other participants was high, and we were blessed with good weather, making it comfortable. Tropical fish gathered around the food in our hands, and if you're lucky, you might see sea turtles swimming by your feet or right in front of you. I think it's also recommendable for elderly people.

**Notes:**
1. It's best to take motion sickness medication first thing in the morning before participating. A few people forgot to take it and got seasick.
2. After getting out of the water, it gets very cold on the boat, so regardless of age or health, everyone needs to wear beach towels, raincoats, or windbreakers to avoid getting cold.
3. Since it's bright, I think it would be good to bring sunglasses. If you have polarized sunglasses for fishing, you might be able to see into the water from the boat when it's sunny.

80代の家族と一緒に参加しました。とても楽しめたようでよかったです。
スタッフや参加者の方々のホスピタリティーも高く、天気にも恵まれたので快適でした。熱帯魚が手元の餌に群がり、運が良ければウミガメが足元の海底や目の前を泳いでいきます。高齢の方にもお勧めできると思います。

【注意】
①朝起きたら、まず酔い止め薬を飲んでから参加したほうがいいです。酔い止めを飲み忘れて何人か船酔いしていました。
②水から出た後、船上はとても寒いので年齢や体調に関わらず"全員"、ビーチタオルやレインコート、ウィンドブレーカーを着て体を冷やさないようにする必要があります。
③眩しいのでサングラスを持っていくとなおいいかと思います。釣り用の偏光サングラスがあれば、晴れていたら船上から海の中を見ることもできるかもしれません。

Last time I came to Hawaii, it was stormy at the sandbar, so this time I'm making a comeback at Hanauma. It's a calm place and close to the beach, so it's easy to take a break if you start feeling unwell. This time, one of my friends got seasick, so if you're prone to motion sickness, it might be a good idea to take some medication. Even if you don't go into the water, there are plenty of cute cats and mongooses around, which is very soothing! I definitely want to join again next time!

前回、ハワイ来た時のサンドバーでは、嵐だったので今回はハナウマでリベンジです。
穏やかな場所ですし、浜からも近いから気分が悪くなっても休憩しやすいです。今回は仲間うちで波酔いした人がいたので、乗り物酔いしやすい人は酔い止め飲まれたほうがよいかもです。
海に入らなくても、たくさんの猫やマングースがいるので、可愛くて癒されます！
次もぜひ参加したい！

Although the weather was unfortunate, I had a great time. After taking a bus from the nearest hotel and heading about 10 minutes by boat from the port, we arrived at a spot where the color of the sea was clearly different. When boarding the boat, you go barefoot or wear marine shoes, leaving flip-flops at the port.

There are containers under the seats on the boat for each group, similar to costume cases, so it was reassuring to keep our belongings in a vinyl bag and store them in the case. The boat also had a toilet and a roof, making it comfortable. Depending on the tide, when we went, the water level was just about at the height where you could reach or not when getting off the boat.

The snorkeling point had depth, and it seemed like they were feeding the fish, as there were many of them. We also saw several sea turtles. After enjoying snorkeling, there was a BBQ buffet. The meat was very tender and delicious. It was nice to have warm tea and coffee, which was great for our chilled bodies.

After lunch, we could enjoy activities like stand-up paddleboarding (SUP). Since the number of SUP boards was limited, we had to wait our turn. I wished we had a bit more time for SUP. On the return bus, there were towels laid on the seats, making it comfortable even with wet bodies. There are no changing areas, so it might be a good idea to bring an extra rash guard or towel as a countermeasure against the bus's air conditioning.

あいにくの天候だったのですが、楽しめました。
最寄りのホテルからバスに乗り、港から船で10分ほど向かうと
海の色が明らかに違うポイントに着きます。
船に乗るときは裸足かマリンシューズになります。ビーサンは港に置いていきます。
船にはグループごとに衣装ケースのような入れ物が椅子の下にあるので、
持ち物はビニールバッグなどに入れてケースに入れておけるので安心でした。
船にはトイレもあり、屋根ありなので快適でした。
潮の具合によりますが、私たちが行ったときは船から降りたら足が届くか
届かないかの高さまで水位がありました。
シュノーケルのポイントは深さもあり、魚の餌付けをしているようで魚が
たくさんいました。
ウミガメも何匹かいました。
シュノーケルを楽しんだ後はＢＢＱのブッフェがありました。
お肉はとても柔らかくておいしかったです。暖かいお茶やコーヒーがあったので、冷えた体には嬉しかったです。
ランチの後はＳＵＰ等で楽しめます。ＳＵＰは数が限られているので、順番待ちになります。
ＳＵＰの時間がもう少し欲しかったなと思いました。
帰りのバスには座席にタオルが敷いてあり、濡れた体でも快適に過ごせました。
着替える場所などはありませんので、バスの冷房対策としてラッシュやタオルを余分に持っていく等した方がいいかもしれません。

Had a wonderful experience, start to finish, thanks to this company’s wonderful staff! Very beautiful snorkeling adventure for a great price. Our agent, Ashton, did an outstanding job with our booking. Our driver for pickup and drop off was right on time and very professional and courteous.

The staff on the day were all bright and kind, providing excellent service. However, upon arrival, the tide was almost at its peak... I couldn't see the sandbar like in the pictures, and the water was up to my waist. It's natural for the sea to have tides, but I think it would be helpful to have an explanation of the tide times based on the season when making a reservation. The sea was very beautiful, so I believe those who are mainly interested in snorkeling can still have a great time even at high tide!

当日のスタッフさんはみなさん明るく親切な方たちで対応◎でした。
しかし、到着時はほぼ満潮状態…写真のようなサンドバーを見れず腰のあたりまで海水がありました。
海に潮の満ち引きがあるのは当然なのですが…時期によっての満ち引きの時間帯の説明が予約時にあるといいかなぁと思いました。
海はとてもきれいだったのでシュノーケリングがメインの方なら満潮時でも十分楽しめると思います！

On a Saturday in September, I participated with my family of three. Since it’s a popular tour, the shuttle bus was full. When we arrived at the sandbar, the weather was clear, and we enjoyed a wonderful view. You can take photos while walking (a waterproof cover is necessary). By the way, on this day, the water was up to my waist, which was a bit surprising. Soon, the clouds started to look ominous, and we had a sudden downpour. Still, with lunch included, we were able to see sea turtles while snorkeling, and during our free time, we got to try stand-up paddleboarding (SAP). Overall, it was a thoroughly enjoyable tour. Since it’s a tour aimed at Japanese people, the guide kept things lively and created a homely atmosphere on the boat. I think it depends on the weather, but if you can enjoy this view, you definitely won’t regret it. If it rains, it can get cold, so while there are life jackets available, it’s reassuring to have clothes that you can wear while getting in the water.

9月の土曜日、家族3人で参加しました。人気のツアーなので送迎車は一杯でした。サンドバーに着いた時は晴れていて、素晴らしい景色を堪能できました。歩きながらスマホで撮影できます。(防水カバーは必要です。)ちなみに、この日は腰あたりまで海水があったので、ちょっと意外でした。ほどなく雲行きが怪しくなり突然のスコール。それでもランチが付いて、シュノーケリングでウミガメも見れて、フリータイムでSAP(スタンドアップパドル)にも乗れて、ツアーとしては十分に楽しむことができました。日本人向けのツアーなので、ガイドの人がいろいろと盛り上げて、船内ではアットホームな雰囲気にしてくれます。天気で左右されるとは思いますが、この景色を味わえるなら、絶対、損はしないと思います。もし、雨が降れば寒いので、ライフジャケットはありますが、着たまま入れる服装があると安心です。
