It was the best tour I've ever participated in. There were only the two of us Japanese, and the rest were foreigners, but there were so many fish, and it was my first experience swimming so close to a sea turtle. It was an emotional moment after visiting Hawaii so many times.

今までの参加したツアーの中で最高のツアーでした。
日本人は私たち二人で後は外人ばかりでしたが、魚が沢山いたうえに、ウミガメとあんなに近くで一緒に泳げたのは、初めての経験でした。
渡ハ何十回めにしての感動ものでした。

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

The “booze cruise” as we called it(bachelorette party) definitely was amazing! The bride enjoyed it most(out of all the other activities we did that weekend) and that’s all that mattered. The boat crew were surprisingly interactive during our activities and even joined in our sandbar volleyball match. So much laughs and the scenery/water/weather was breath taking. Although we are from Maui and experience a lot of boating and time in the water, to the crew that worked September 29th, 2018(I didn’t get names) YOU ALL WERE FABULOUS!! Mahalo Mahalo Mahalo!

Private Dolphin Middle School 私立イルカ中学

Reviewed by: dragon

I made a huge mistake during the reservation stage. I intended to book for the day before my return flight, and we excitedly gathered at the meeting place with six people. However, the guide told us, "Your reservation is for tomorrow!" Upon checking, it turned out that we had actually booked for the day of our return flight. Since we might not make it to our flight after participating in the tour tomorrow, I asked if there was anything that could be done, but unfortunately, both the middle school and university tours were fully booked, and cancellations would not be refundable if made less than 24 hours in advance. With six people, that was quite a hefty amount.

The guide said, "I'll contact the office and get back to you." So, we enjoyed a different schedule that day. In the afternoon, I was able to get in touch with the office. They kindly suggested that if we came to the meeting place to prepare for our return, they would load our luggage onto the bus and drop us off at a hotel just before the airport after the tour ended, as it would take too long to go back to Honolulu and then to the airport. From there, we could easily take a taxi to the airport, which was a wonderful proposal.

It was a last-minute solution, but thanks to this, it turned into an unforgettable and amazing tour. I appreciate the office's response. Also, the guide Jerry's sense of humor and looks during the bus ride to the port were fantastic. The hour-long journey was so enjoyable that it felt like we were at the main event.

予約段階で大失敗してしまいました。
と言うのは、帰国日の前日の申し込みのつもりで6名揃って張り切って集合場所に。
ところがガイドさんに「明日のご予約日になってますよ！」って言われて確認すると、なんと明日の帰国日の予約になっていました。
明日はツアーに参加してからではフライトの時間に間に合わない事もあるので、なんとかならないかとお願いしましたがあいにく中学も大学も満席でキャンセルするにも24時間前からは返金できなくなるとの事。
6名分ですから相当厳しい金額。
ガイドさんが「事務所に連絡してお返事を連絡します。」と言う事で、その日は別なスケジュールを組み楽しみました。
午後になり事務所の方と連絡が取れました。
なんと帰国の準備をして集合場所に来て頂ければトランクなどバスに積み込みツアー終了次第、ホノルルまで戻ってからでは空港まで移動するのでは時間がかかりすぎるので空港手前のホテルに降ろしてくれる。
そこからタクシーで空港まで向えば十分間に合うでしょうとの嬉しいご提案。
土壇場でギリギリの遂行でしたが、おかげさまで思い出に残るサイコーのツアーになりました。
事務局様のご対応に感謝致します。
また、港までの向かうバスの中でのガイドのジェリーさんのトークセンスとルックスもサイコー。
約1時間の移動中楽しすぎてどっちがメインイベントだろうと言う感じ。

The contrast of blue, the mysterious experience of standing in the sea, and encountering many sea turtles made for a truly wonderful experience. The crew was very attentive to ensure that all participants enjoyed themselves, which was great. Thank you! The hamburgers were juicy and very delicious. Although the boat goes out to sea, it hardly sways, so even for someone like me who gets seasick easily, it was fine. At the snorkeling spot, there were many colorful fish, and I felt it was a highly satisfying tour. I think you will definitely get sunburned, so sunscreen is a must! I forgot to apply it on my calves and ended up very red, haha. For those participating, be careful with your calves and the tops of your feet. That said, I’m really glad I participated. I highly recommend this tour.

青のコントラスト、海の中に立っている不思議な体験、海ガメさんにもたくさん出会えてとても素晴らしい体験ができました。^ ^クルーの皆さんも参加者全員が楽しめるようにとても気を配ってくれたので、とても良かったです。ありがとうございました！ハンバーガーもジューシーでとても美味しかったです。船から沖に進みますがほとんど揺れることもないので酔いやすい私でも大丈夫でした。シュノーケリングのポイントではカラフルなお魚もたくさんいて満足度の高いツアーだと感じました。日焼けは多分とてもすると思いますので日焼け止めは必須です！私はふくらはぎに塗り忘れて真っ赤になりました笑笑 参加される方、ふくらはぎと足の甲要注意です。とはいえ、参加して本当に良かったです。おススメのツアーです。

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＞

It's disappointing that I couldn't meet the dolphins. イルカと会えず残念な結果に。

Reviewed by: tktk

I participated in the tour on Sunday, September 23rd at 11:00 with my girlfriend. Unfortunately, we didn't get to see any dolphins, which made for a very disappointing tour.

Shortly after departure, we spotted several sea turtles surfacing, which was a great start. However, the weather soon took a turn for the worse. Even after two hours, we still hadn't found any dolphins, and the captain took the boat further out, but the winds were very strong that day, and the sea was quite rough. The boat began to sway violently, causing some people to hit their knees and bleed, while others suffered from seasickness, creating chaos on board.

We did snorkel at one spot, where we saw sea turtles, but due to the rough sea, the visibility wasn't impressive, and there weren't many fish, so it was somewhat underwhelming.

As for the timing, I wouldn't recommend starting at 11:00. After the 9:00 pickup, we returned to Waikiki around 17:00. This timing makes it difficult to schedule other activities, so an earlier start is advisable.

In summary, I fully understand that dolphins are wild animals and not guaranteed to be seen, but it was still a disappointing outcome, so I have to give it one star. I heard that if you don't see dolphins, you can participate again for free at any time in the future, so I would like to try again when I visit Hawaii.

9月23日(日)11:00～のツアーに彼女と２人で参加しました。結果的にイルカとは会えず非常に残念なツアーとなってしまいました。

出航後間もなくすると海面に顔を出すウミガメを何匹も見かけ、上々のスタートでした。ただしばらくすると雲行きが怪しくなってきました。
2時間経過してもなおイルカは見つからず、船長さんが沖の方まで船を出しますが、当日は風が非常に強く海は大荒れ。
船体が上下に大きく揺れ始め、膝を打って血を流す方や船酔いに襲われる方が続出し船内はまさに阿鼻叫喚。

スノーケリングだけ途中1箇所でしました。ウミガメはいましたが、海が荒れたせいか透明度も感動する程ではなく、さほど魚も多くなかったためいまいちでした。

時間の使い方としても11時スタートはお勧めできません。9時過ぎピックアップ後、ワイキキに戻ってきたのが17:00過ぎ。他の予定が入れられなくなるため、朝早い時間をお勧めします。

総評として、イルカが野生の生き物であり必ず会える訳ではないと重々承知しておりましたが、やはり残念な結果となってしまったため星１とさせて頂きます。
イルカが見られなかった場合、期間無制限で再度無料で参加できるそうなので、またハワイを訪れた際にチャレンジしたいと思います。

Reviewed by: ムムム

It started with a fun and easy-to-understand explanation from Yuki, who perfectly embodied the image of a Hawaiian sister, complete with laughter. The sandbar only appears at the perfect timing, which is difficult since it's a natural phenomenon. Unfortunately, it didn't appear during our visit. All the other staff members, besides Yuki, were friendly and kind. The lunch was also quite substantial. On the day we participated, the weather was rainy and cloudy, but it miraculously cleared up just in time for the sandbar, turtle watching, and snorkeling. As soon as we finished and returned to the port, it started to rain again, so we were really lucky. We were able to see many turtles. It was a lot of fun.

ザ・ハワイのお姉さまっというイメージ通りなユキさんのわかりやすく笑いありの楽しい説明から始まりました。サンドバー自体は絶好のタイミングでのみ砂浜が出てくる事らしく、自然の事なので難しいですね。私たちの時は出現せずでした。ユキさん以外のスタッフの方皆さんも気さくで親切でした。ランチもボリュームありです。私たちの参加日の天気は雨と曇りで、ちょうどサンドバー、ウミガメウォッチング、シュノーケリングのタイミングだけは晴れて、全て終わって港に着いたら雨が降り出し、本当にラッキーでした。ウミガメもたくさん見れました。楽しかったです。

ハナウマ湾シュノーケリング　日本語ガイドが海の世界へご案内＜シュノーケルセット／終日＞

I was able to swim with sea turtles! 海亀と泳げました！

Reviewed by: おしり

About a month ago, I made a reservation and participated in a tour that picked us up around 7 AM. Until we were picked up, I was worried about whether we would actually meet, but the Japanese guide came to greet us, which put me at ease.
There were four of us in total: the two of us and another couple on their honeymoon, so we were able to snorkel comfortably.

The sea was very beautiful, the fish were not afraid of humans, and we even encountered two sea turtles. It was a wonderful experience that moved me! I would love to participate again.

Since it was the first snorkeling experience for all four of us, I think it was a good decision to have a guide. It requires more physical strength than I expected. I recommend wearing a wetsuit for those who are not confident in their physical abilities. It seems that snorkeling accidents are more common than diving, which requires a license, so one should be cautious.
Furthermore, thanks to the guides' network, we were efficiently informed about where the sea turtles were located. The guide took photos for us, so we were able to enjoy the underwater experience without using our own smartphones or cameras. Water and snacks were provided after the tour, so it might be a good idea to bring a bottle with you.

During the car ride to and from the snorkeling site, we were able to talk about various things related to Hawaii besides snorkeling.

It was incredibly fun!

約１ヶ月前に予約して、午前７時頃ピックアップのツアーに参加しました。ピックアップされるまでは、ちゃんと会えるか不安でしたが、日本人ガイドさん本人が迎えに来て下さったので安心でした。
私たち２人と、もう一組は新婚旅行のカップルるの計４人だったので、ゆったりシュノーケリングできました。

とても綺麗な海で、魚たちは人間を怖がらないし、海亀２頭にも会えました。とても素晴らしい体験でした。感動しました！
また参加したいと思うようなツアーです。

４人ともシュノーケリング初体験だったので、ガイド付きで正解だったとおもいます。
思ったより、体力をつかいます。
体力に自信のない方はウェットスーツの着用をオススメします。
ライセンスのいるダイビングより、手軽に出来るシュノーケリングの事故のが多いそうなので、油断は禁物です。
更に、ガイドさん達のネットワークがあるので海亀がいる所が伝達されて効率よく会えました。
写真はガイドさんが取って下さるので、自分たちのスマホやカメラは使わず、水中を楽しめました。
水とスナックは終わったあとに渡されるので、一本持って行ってもいいかもしれません。

行きや帰りの車で、シュノーケリング以外のハワイのことについても色々お話しできました。

すごくすごく楽しかったです。

Reviewed by: puuuu

You can be separated into groups of Japanese and non-Japanese participants! So, while the Japanese side was a bit crowded, I think everyone had their own seats and could relax except when gathering for explanations.

First, we went to the sandbar for snorkeling practice! It was incredibly beautiful! Don't worry, there’s plenty of time for taking photos and playing ☻ Just keep in mind that depending on the time, the water can come up to your waist, so I think it's best to check in advance before participating!

After that, we moved on, and during that time, they grilled meat for our hamburger lunch! It was so delicious that I finished it in no time! You can drink beverages for free whenever you want! Only the alcohol is settled afterward!

Then we went turtle watching, and finally, we had more snorkeling! There was plenty of time for that too! They provide lifeguards, fins, and snorkeling masks, so you don’t need to prepare anything!

However, it was quite windy and cold during the move, so a jacket is essential! There are no towels provided, so make sure to bring one! But I think it will dry quickly because of the strong wind!

The meeting place is in front of the green hut at the back! Since I wasn't exactly on time, there's no need to rush if you arrive a bit late for the gathering time (laughs).

I had so much fun that I want to participate again!

日本人と、それ以外の方でボートを分けられます！なので日本人側は若干混んでいましたが説明で上に集まる時以外は皆さん各自席がありゆっくりできたと思います。

まずは、サンドバーに行ってシュノーケリングの練習！すごく綺麗でした！写真を撮る時間も遊ぶ時間もたくさんあるので安心してください☻ただ時間によっては海が腰あたりまで来るのであらかじめ自分で調べて参加するのがいいかと思います！

その後移動して、その間に焼いてくれたお肉でハンバーガーランチ！これがすごーく美味しくてあっという間に食べちゃいました！
飲み物も飲みたい時にタダで飲めます！お酒だけ事後精算です！

その後ウミガメウォッチングをして、最後はシュノーケリング！こちらも時間はたくさんありました！ライフガード、フィン、シュノーケリングのマスク等すべて貸してくださるので用意は不要です！

ただ、移動中は風が強くて寒いので上着は必須です！タオルも貸し出しはないのでどちらかを持ってくれば！でも、風が強くて乾くので大丈夫だとも思います！

集合場所は奥の方にあるの緑の小屋の前です！時間ぴったりではなかったので、集合時間に来なくても焦らなくて大丈夫です（笑）

また参加したいと思うほど楽しかったです！

When selecting a tour, it seems that encountering a shallower sandbar depends on the tour duration and the timing of low tide.
It was fun.

私達は、滞在期間の中で一番良い条件の日を選びましたが、正直期待していたほどサンドバーは浅くなかったです。でも幸運なことに天候に恵まれて本当に素晴らしい景色が見られたので、私は大満足です。
ツアーを選ぶにあたって、より浅いサンドバーに出会えるのは、ツアー時間と、浅い干潮時の時刻が近いことだそうです。

Reviewed by: Amy

I chose the day with the best conditions during my stay, as it was the closest to low tide time. Luckily, it was sunny, and I was able to see a beautiful, clear ocean.

On the day we participated, there were a lot of people, and two boats went out together. After arriving at the sandbar, we split into those who wanted to relax and those who wanted to snorkel. The snorkeling felt like everyone was swimming in a line in the same spot, so depending on the number of participants, it might feel a bit lacking for those who want to swim while observing slowly. However, I enjoyed it overall because I got to see beautiful scenery.

干潮の浅い日が狙い目ということで、干潮時間がツアー時間に一番近い、滞在中で一番条件が良い日を選びました。ラッキーなことに、晴天で、綺麗で透き通った海を見ることができました。

私たちが参加した日は人数が大変多くて、２台のボートが一緒に出ました。サンドバーに到着した後、ゆっくり過ごしたい人、シュノーケルをしたい人で分かれます。シュノーケリングは、みんなで一斉に同じ場所を一列で泳いでいく感じだったので、参加人数にもよりますが、ゆっくり観察しながら泳ぎたい人には物足りなく感じるかもしれません。キレイな景色が見れたので、全体的に私はとっても楽しめました。

Good points:
There were two guides, a Japanese guide and a local guide. They provided detailed support, which allowed me to enjoy the experience without any worries. I received all the photos taken on the day via Facebook.

Bad points:
The sea was a bit rough, so we could only swim in the lagoon, and the water wasn't very clear. Since we had a guide, I wished we could have gone closer to the beautiful open sea. (There were children participating, so I hope for more advanced support for intermediate to advanced swimmers.) There was hardly any time to relax on the beach.

良い点
日本人ガイド＋現地人ガイドの２人で催行。きめ細かいフォローをしてくれたので、不安なく楽しめた。
当日撮った写真は全部FB経由で貰える。

悪い点
海が少し荒れていたのか、ラグーンの中でしか泳げず水中があまり綺麗ではなかった。せっかくガイド付きなので、綺麗な外海近くまでは行って欲しかった。（子ずれも参加していて一緒に泳ぐ形だったので、中上級者向けのフォローアップを望む）
ビーチでゆっくりする時間がほとんどなかった。

You need stamina. 体力が必要です

Reviewed by: ハワイ大好き

I signed up for this tour because it was guided by a Japanese person, but it required quite a bit of physical stamina. I mentioned that it was my first time snorkeling, and after a little practice, we swam quite a long distance, which made it hard to breathe. They guided me by holding my hand, but I would have preferred to practice breathing and swimming over a shorter distance until I got more comfortable. I think our lack of stamina played a role, but honestly, I didn't feel like saying, "I want to participate again!" I believe experienced snorkelers would enjoy it, but it might be a bit tough for beginners.

日本人がガイドしてくれるツアーということで、このツアーに申し込みましたが、かなり体力を要するものでした。
シュノーケリングは初めてですと最初に伝えていましたが、少し練習した後に結構長い距離を泳ぎ、息するのがキツかったです。
手を引いて案内してくれましたが、もう少し慣れるまで短い距離で呼吸や泳ぎ方の練習させて欲しかったです。
自分達が体力なかったのもあると思いますが、正直「また参加したい！」とはなりませんでした。
シュノーケリングに慣れている人なら楽しめたと思いますが、初心者の方にはちょっとキツいかもしれません。

Shallow sea 浅瀬の海

Reviewed by: tomo

I chose this tour based on checking the tide and finding a good location at a reasonable time. I saw plenty of sea turtles, but I would have been a bit more satisfied if we had gone to the sandbar before the tide rose. The water level was rising quickly, and by the time we left, it had become quite deep. During snorkeling, I could see the fish well, but there were so many people that it felt like a hot spring. I ended up seeing more people's feet than fish. Overall, the weather was nice, and I saw what I expected, so it was as anticipated. It has a cliché feel, but it seems to be a must-do tour.

潮位を調べて、かつ、できるだけましな時間で場所も良い、という観点からこのツアーを選びました。ウミガメはたくさん見れましたが、先に潮位が高くなる前にサンドバーへ行ってくれると、もう少し満足できたような。みるみる水位が上がってきて、帰るころにはかなり深くなっていました。シュノーケリングでは魚がしっかり見れましたが、あまりにも人が多くて、温泉状態。魚より人の足の方をたくさん見た、という感じです。一応、天気も良く、見るもの見たので、予想どおりというところでしょうか。ベタなところですが外せないツアーなのかな、という印象です。

Swimming with dolphins has been a dream of mine for many years. I participated in the tour with a bit of sleepiness from the early morning departure, but I had a great time listening to the staff share many stories about Hawaii and dolphins during the journey; the hour flew by. After boarding, everyone enjoyed chatting together as the captain guided the boat out to sea! I thought we might see only two or three dolphins at most, but when we arrived at the dolphin spot, we encountered over 30 dolphins, and my excitement skyrocketed. We also met sea turtles and gentle sharks, feeling like Ariel♪ After snorkeling, we enjoyed pork rice balls and snacks on the boat while dancing the hula on the way back. From start to finish, it was a truly fun and happy time. I would love to participate again the next time I come to Hawaii.

イルカと泳ぐのが長年の夢でした。朝早くの出発で少し眠さもありながらツアーに参加しましたが、道中にスタッフさんからハワイやイルカについてのお話を沢山聞けて、すごく楽しく1時間があっという間でした。乗船後もみんなで楽しく会話しながら、船長さんの赴くままに船は出航!!!!イルカに会えても、せいぜい2.3頭だろうと思っていましたが、いざイルカ達のポイントに着くと、30頭以上のイルカ達に出会えて、テンションが上がりまくりました。ウミガメや大人しいサメにも出会え、気分はアリエル状態♪シュノーケル後は、船上でポークおにぎりやおかしを食べ、フラダンスを踊りながらの帰航。初めから最後まで、全てがとても楽しい幸せな時間でした。次にハワイに来る時も、また参加したいと思います。

We participated as a couple with our 9-year-old child. It was everyone's first time snorkeling, but thanks to Chieko, we were able to participate smoothly, both kids and adults. We swam across Hanauma Bay for about an hour, but I think it's better for slim people and children to rent wetsuits, as the body gets colder than expected. Also, for those who are prone to seasickness, it's reassuring to take motion sickness medication. We got to see beautiful tropical fish and even a turtle, which made for the best memories! I would love to participate again when we come back to Hawaii. Thank you very much! 😊

夫婦と9歳の子供1人で参加させて頂きました。
シュノーケリングは全員初めてでしたが、ちえこさんに色々教えて頂き、子供も大人もスムーズに参加することができました。
約1時間程ハナウマ湾を横断する感じで泳ぎますが、痩せ型の人や子供さんはウェットスーツを借りた方がよろしいかと思います。思ったより体が冷えてきますので。。それから、波に酔いやすい人は酔い止めを飲んだ方が安心です。
綺麗な熱帯魚、そしてカメにも会えて最高の思い出になりました！

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＞

As a lifelong memory 一生の思い出に

Reviewed by: アロハロコモコ

One of the things on my bucket list was to swim with dolphins, and I made it happen. The weather was refreshing, the waves were calm, and the sea was very clear, making it the perfect day for the tour. The staff were bright and cheerful, which made for a fun experience throughout. I got to see a large group of dolphins and even met a sea turtle; it was truly an amazing time. Waking up early is tough, but I was a bit jet-lagged anyway, and I could sleep on the bus during the ride, so it wasn't too hard. We returned by early afternoon, allowing us to spend the rest of the day meaningfully. One thing to note is that if you are prone to motion sickness, it might be a good idea to take some medication, as there seemed to be a difference between those who did and didn't.

死ぬまでにやりたいことリストに入ってたひとつ、イルカと泳ぐこと。実現しました。天気も爽快、波も穏やか、海の透明度も高い日だったそうで、最高のツアー日だったそうです。スタッフの方々の明るさ、陽気さもあり、終始楽しい時間になりました。イルカの大群にも会えたし、ウミガメにも会えたし、本当に最高の時間でした。朝早いのは辛いけど、そもそも少し時差ボケ気味だったのと、移動中にバスの中で寝れるので、そんなに苦ではないです。昼過ぎには戻れるので、その後の1日も有意義に過ごせます。ひとつだけ注意点があるとすると、車などに酔いやすい人は、酔い止めを飲んだ方がいいかもしれません。飲んでる人と飲んでない人で差があった模様。。

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＞

It's a bit disappointing in various ways. 色々惜しい

Reviewed by: まいち。

It seems that the phases of the moon and the tides are related. Rather than a sandbar, it was a beautiful sea that came up to my waist. The water was very clear, and I encountered many sea turtles on the way to the sandbar.

At first, when I entered the water, I thought, "It's cold!" but I got used to it after a while. Also, for all the smokers out there! Smoking is prohibited on the boat, but you can smoke in the water! I think having a smoke while standing in the waist-deep water is exceptional, so I recommend bringing your cigarettes!

As for snorkeling, the mask was covered in fine scratches and didn't have anti-fog treatment, so it fogged up quickly after just 2-3 minutes. Additionally, since we were swimming in a group next to the coral, the water became murky and it was hard to see, causing the fish to flee. There were many people who weren't used to it, so it inevitably became a bit crowded.

Participation in snorkeling seems to be optional, so it might be more meaningful to play around the boat. If you're mainly looking to snorkel and seeking the sandbar mentioned in guidebooks, I wouldn't particularly recommend it.

The staff from the tour company were cheerful, friendly, and kind, which was very nice. The sandwiches for lunch were also delicious.

月の満ち欠けと、潮の満ち引きが関係しているらしく
サンドバーっていうよりかは腰までくる綺麗な海でした
透明度が高くて、サンドバーに付くまでの間にウミガメにもたくさん会えました

最初、海に入ったときは「冷たい！」と思いますが、入っているうちに慣れていく感じ
あとは愛煙家の皆さん！！
船の中では禁煙ですが、海の中では喫煙できますよ！！
腰の高さまである海の中での一服は格別だと思われますので、愛煙家の皆さんはお煙草持って行くのをオススメします！！

シュノーケルは、マスクが細かい傷だらけなのと、曇り止めをしていないので2～3分付けていたらすぐ曇ってしまいます
あと、やはり団体で珊瑚の横を泳ぐので、水が濁って見えづらくなる＆魚が逃げます
慣れてない人もたくさんいらっしゃるので、どうしても芋洗い状態になってしまうのだと思います

シュノーケルの参加は自由みたいなので、船のまわりでシャパシャパ遊んでる方が有意義かもしれません
シュノーケルをメインに考えている＆ガイドブックに載ってるサンドバーを求めている方には、あまりオススメはしません

催行会社の方々は、陽気で気さく、優しい方が多いのでそこはとても良かったです
お昼のサンドイッチも美味しかった

ハナウマ湾シュノーケリング　日本語ガイドが海の世界へご案内＜シュノーケルセット／終日＞

I felt an incredible sense of security!! 安心感がすごかった！！

Reviewed by: kana

Hanauma Bay was truly beautiful. I had a trauma from a previous diving experience that made my breathing become erratic, but the instructor, Fumio, kindly guided me and helped me calm down enough to swim. However, he ended up pulling me along the whole time (;_;). I was really grateful for his help (;_;).

He also took photos and later posted them on Facebook ^ ^. I brought an underwater camera, but it's nice that photos are free with this company since other companies charge for them! I would like to join this tour again when I travel to Hawaii ^ ^.

I stayed at the Sheraton Waikiki, so the meeting place was at the Hokulani hotel front entrance by the escalator. The escalator was located between the ABC Store and Quick Store, but it was a bit hard to find when I got there, so please refer to the photos!

ハナウマ湾、本当に綺麗でした。
以前ダイビングをした時のトラウマが出てきてしまい、呼吸が荒くなってしまったのですが、インストラクターのFumioさんが優しく指導してくださり、落ち着いて泳げるようになったものの、終始ずーーーっと引っ張って泳いで下さいました(;_;)
本当に助かりました(;_;)

写真も撮ってくださり、後日Facebookに載せてくださいました^ ^
水中カメラは持参していましたが、他社さんでは写真も有料なので有難いです！
ハワイ旅行会社の際はまたこちらのツアー参加したいと思います^ ^

シェラトン ワイキキに宿泊したので、集合場所はHokulani hotel front entrance by the escalatorでした。エスカレーターは、ABCストアとクイックストアの中間にありましたが、現地に行くとちょっと分かりずらかったので写真参照してください！

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＞

I was able to see sea turtles! ウミガメ見れました！

Reviewed by: まるおー

We were blessed with beautiful sunny weather, enjoyed practicing snorkeling and playing volleyball in the shallow waters, and savored freshly grilled beef hamburgers on the boat. After that, we had a great time watching sea turtles and experiencing authentic snorkeling. It was fun to be surrounded by many tropical fish while also getting to see sea turtles!

晴天の天気に恵まれ、海の中に出来た浅瀬でシュノーケリングの練習とバレーボールを楽しみ、船上で焼きたてビーフハンバーガーを堪能した後は、ウミガメウォッチと本格シュノーケリングを楽しみました。シュノーケリングでは多くの熱帯魚に囲まれながら、ウミガメを見る事も出来て楽しかったです！

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＞

The brunch on the ship is amazing! 船上ブランチが最高！

Reviewed by: yksg

Having brunch on the ocean is an experience that is quite rare in everyday life, so it became a wonderful memory. My husband also seemed very satisfied. Since I didn't have a rash guard, I purchased an original rash guard before entering the water. I thought it was a bit expensive, but it was the right choice since it was a little chilly. Unfortunately, when I washed it, the color of the original rash guard faded significantly and transferred to other items. I hope this can be improved.

海の上でブランチが食べれるというのは日常から考えるとなかなか出来ない体験なので良い思い出になりました。主人もとても満足した様子でした。ラッシュを持ってなかったので海に入る前にオリジナルラッシュを購入しました。若干高いなと思いましたが、少し寒かったので正解でした。残念だったのが洗濯するとオリジナルラッシュの色落ちが激しく、他のものに色移りします。これは改良されると良いなと思いました

The sandbar was beautiful because it was sunny! よく晴れていたのでサンドバー綺麗でした！

Reviewed by: anetta0000

The clear sea sparkled beautifully under the bright sun, and the sandbar was lovely. Personally, I think it's worth experiencing at least once. For us, the short course was sufficient. It would have been even better if we could meet on-site. The bus was cold, and it can get chilly if the weather changes, so I recommend bringing a hoodie or something to wear. It might be better to enjoy it with a small group charter.

よく晴れていたので澄んだ海がキラキラ光ってサンドバーは綺麗でした。個人的にいけないので１度は体験しても良いかと思います。我々としてはショートコースで十分でした。現地集合できればもっと良かったですが。バスの中が寒かったり、天候が変わると寒いのでフーディなど羽織りものを持って行ったほうがいいと思います。
少人数チャーターで楽しむ方がいいかもしれません。
