Great Staff, smooth ride and easy access to all equipment.

Reviewed by: Sean S

Mike and his staff we very nice and pleasant to be around as this was mine and my wife's first time snorkeling. The boat ride was comfortable, the sand bar was a fun expreience and was also a nice way to get comfortable using the equipment. Staff was very attentive while we were in the water and made sure everyone was safe. Would recommend this to anyone!

ウミガメシュノーケリング ホロカイ・カタマラン号 高確率でウミガメに会えるタートルキャニオンへ!ソフトドリンク&スナック付き<3時間/英語/ワイキキホテル発>

Swim with sea turtles & thrilling sailing 海亀と泳げる&スリリングなセーリング

Reviewed by: you

Since I was staying at the Sheraton Waikiki, the check-in location was close and easy to find. The reception and the crew on the boat did not understand Japanese at all, but if you know some simple English and words, you'll manage just fine.

I snorkeled freely where there were about 4 to 5 sea turtles. The turtles would come up to the surface to breathe multiple times, so I was able to take pictures up close, which made me very happy. The crew members occasionally checked in with a friendly "Are you okay?" in broken English, which was nice.

The sailing was headed towards Diamond Head, and the waves were really rough, making it feel like an attraction. However, since the waves splashed onto the boat and soaked us completely, I recommend putting important items in waterproof bags.

I went with my family of five adults, and even my mother, who didn't snorkel, was very satisfied with the sailing experience. Additionally, they provided a drink menu in Japanese, so I was able to enjoy my favorite drinks while taking in the beautiful ocean, which made me very happy!

シェラトンワイキキに宿泊していたため、受付場所も近く分かりやすかったです。受付や船の船員さんは日本語が全く通じませんが、簡単な英語と単語が分かれば何とかなります。
シュノーケルは海亀が4〜5匹いるところで自由にシュノーケルしました。海亀は何度も息つぎしに海面に上がってくるので近くで写真を撮ったりもでき、大満足でした◡̈⃝
乗務員のお兄さんたちも時折、片言ですが『だいじょぶ?』と声をかけてくれて、フレンドリーでした。

セーリングはダイヤモンドヘッド方面に向かい波がすごく荒かったので、アトラクション感覚で楽しめました。ただ、波が船の上に上がってきて、全身濡れるので、大事なものは防水の袋などにいれて持って行った方がいいと思います。

成人してる家族5人で行きましたが、シュノーケルしない母もセーリングが楽しかったと大満足でした。またドリンクメニューは日本語の紙を渡してくれたので、好きなお酒を飲みながら綺麗な海も見れて大満足でした!

It became a memorable experience! 思い出になりました!

Reviewed by: fujimocchang

The tour staff were very kind and had great energy! Since a Japanese person was guiding us, I felt very reassured participating! I heard that if you're lucky, you can swim with sea turtles, but unfortunately, that didn't happen for me, which was disappointing. I want to try again next time!! The hamburgers at lunch were also great because they grilled the patties right there, giving it a BBQ feel, and I was very satisfied!

ツアースタッフの方々がとても親切でノリがいい!日本人の方がガイドしてくれたのでとても安心して参加できました!運が良ければウミガメと泳ぐこともできるとのことだったのですが、それは叶わなかったのが残念です。次はリベンジしたい!!昼のハンバーガーもその場でパテを焼いてくれるのでBBQ感覚も味わえてとても満足!

西オアフで体験するパワースポット&シュノーケリングツアー<日本語ガイド兼インストラクター/送迎付き>

I want to go again!! また行きたい‼︎

Reviewed by: ちっぴー

This was our family's fourth trip to Hawaii. We wanted to visit West Oahu, which we hadn't been to before, so we decided to join this tour. On the day of the tour, we were lucky to have just our family, and we were able to talk a lot with our guide, Akima. He shared various tips, such as the delicious food court places at Ala Moana (Lahaina Chicken, Blue Water Shrimp) and recommended buying grass-fed meat at Whole Foods if we wanted to cook for ourselves. We later visited those places and bought the meat, which was really cheap and delicious! Personally, I found it much tastier than Wolfgang's. The tour took us to West Oahu, which isn't often featured in guidebooks, and I believe it's a power spot. Akima's stories about the myths were fascinating and mystical, and just listening to them was very healing for me.

The highlight was snorkeling. At first, the water was murky and visibility was poor, but as we swam further, the water cleared up, and we could see colorful tropical fish. To our surprise, we encountered three sea turtles! We were able to swim alongside them. Akima, our underwater photographer, took pictures of us with the sea turtles and later emailed them to us. My middle school son, who has snorkeled in places like the Great Barrier Reef, Guam, Saipan, and Phuket, said, "This was the best ever! I want to go again!" Thank you, Akima, for the wonderful memories! We look forward to the next time!

今回家族で4回目のハワイ。まだ行ったことのない西オアフに行きたいと思って参加しました。ツアー当日は運良くうちの家族だけで、ガイドのあきまさんともたくさんお話しでき、おいしいアラモアナのフードコートのお店(ラハナチキン、ブルーウォーターシュリンプ)や自炊するならホールフーズでグラスフェッド(牧草だけを食べて育った牛)のお肉を買うといいなど、ツアー以外のことも色々教えて頂き、後日実際お店に行ったり、お肉も買いましたが、本当に安くておいしかったです‼︎(お肉は個人的にはウルフギャン◯よりもずっとおいしい☆)ツアーもガイドブックにはあまり紹介されていない西オアフ、パワースポットであるからだとも思いますが、あきまさんがして下さる神話の話がおもしろく、神秘的で私は見ているだけでとても癒されました。
クライマックスのシュノーケリング、入ってすぐは濁っていて視界が悪かったのですが、泳ぎ進めていくうちに視界もクリアになり、色とりどりの熱帯魚が見れ、さらにはなんと3匹の海亀に遭遇‼︎一緒に泳ぐことができました。水中カメラマンのあきまさんには海亀との写真をいつの間にか撮って頂き、後日メールで送って頂きました。グレートバリアリーフ、グアム、サイパン、プーケットなどの海でもシュノーケリングをしたことがある中学生の息子が「今までで一番良かった‼︎また行きたい‼︎」と言っていました。あきまさん、素敵な思い出をありがとうございます‼︎次回もまたよろしくお願いします☆

Thank you for the review.
The meat was definitely much better than what you would get at a mediocre restaurant, right? The ingredients here are really good. Even the rice tastes great when cooked properly.
You might be praising my son a bit too much, but I’m really happy to hear that. However, please let him know that I would be even happier if you could tell me (the guide) directly next time!
Are you coming back next year?! The year after?! We look forward to seeing you!

Aloha,

レビューありがとうございます。
お肉、下手なお店で食べるよりずっとおいしかったでしょ~w 素材はいいのあるんですよ、ここ。お米だってちゃんと炊けばおいしいし。

Enjoyable outing

Reviewed by: Bonnie

We had always wanted to visit the Sandbar and snorkel in the Kaneohe area. Captain Bob's made it enjoyable . The crew was pleasant and the food was great. It was a relaxed atmosphere (meaning, not too regulated) so we could pretty much do whatever we wanted. There were lots of turtles and fish. The only drawback was that it was more crowded than I'd imagined it would be. Maybe it would be less busy when the keikis go back to school.

It was chilly, but I enjoyed it. 肌寒かったが、楽しみました

Reviewed by: マー坊

We arrived at the sandbar just before noon under cloudy skies, and it was a bit chilly with the wind. At the sandbar, we practiced snorkeling in the shallowest area, which was about knee-deep for adults, as my first-grade grandson was trying it for the first time. After that, we enjoyed watching tropical fish and sea turtles in deeper waters. It was quite a good tour.

曇り空の中、昼前にサンドバーに着いたが、風もあり、肌寒かった。サンドバーでは、一番浅い場所で、大人の膝下位で、初めてのシュノーケリングに1年生の孫が、挑戦するため、練習しました。その後、深い場所で、熱帯魚や海亀を見て楽しみました。なかなか、良いツアーでした。

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>

Encountered about 60 dolphins! The passionate guide, Julie, is the best athletic club dolphin middle school!! 約60頭のイルカ先生と遭遇! 熱血ガイドのジュリさんが最高の体育会系イルカ中学!!

Reviewed by: mskn1007

The guide mentioned that it was quite a lucky day, as we quickly discovered a pod of dolphins after we started searching. We encountered dolphins jumping out of the water and several times came across a group of dolphins, seeing about 60 of them (according to the guide)! My family was also deeply moved, making it the best experience. After that, we enjoyed snorkeling surrounded by large sea turtles and fish, feeling like we were in an aquarium. We ended with a hula dance and a group photo.

The guide was a woman named Julie, and she was fantastic. She was very funny, upbeat, and kept us laughing from the explanations in the car to the guidance on the boat. Her strong love for the ocean and dolphins was evident, making her an excellent guide. I think it would be lucky to have Julie as your guide.

One thing to take note of is that, as Julie mentioned herself, this dolphin experience is quite athletic and rigorous. It felt like, "Wait, are we jumping in already?" and the kids were a bit scared, but once we jumped in, everything turned out fine. In the end, we were all super moved, so the rigorous approach ended up being a good thing.

Overall, encountering the dolphins and having the best guide made for an incredibly fortunate tour. I highly recommend it.

ガイドさんも言っていましたが、かなりラッキーな日だったようで、探し始めてすぐにイルカ先生の群れを発見。海面をジャンプするイルカに加え、群れで及ぶイルカに何度も遭遇でき、約60頭(ガイドさん曰く)も見ることが出来ました! 家族も感動しきりで最高の体験になりました。 その後は、大きなウミガメや魚に囲まれた水族館にいるようなシュノーケリングを楽しみました。最後は皆でフラダンスと記念撮影で終了。

ジュリさんというガイドさんだったのですが、この女性がまた最高でした。とっても面白く、ノリが良くて、車内の説明から船上でのガイダンスまで笑いっぱなし。また海やイルカへの愛が強く気持ち・情熱が伝わるガイドでとても良かったです。ジュリさんに当たったらラッキーだと思います。 
一点Take Noteしたいのは、ジュリさんも自分で言っていましたが、このイルカ中学、結構体育会系でスパルタです。「え?これでもう飛び込んじゃうの?」という感じで、子供たちもビビッていましたが、いざ飛び込んだら何とかなるもの。結局超感動していたので、このスパルタも結果的には良かったです。
というわけで、イルカとの遭遇も、最高のガイドさんも、恵まれた最高のツアーでした。強くお勧めです。

West Oahu Tour 西オアフツアー

Reviewed by: H.Family

Since summer vacation had just started, it was just our family of four. We visited places that are hard to reach with individual or large tours, and ended with snorkeling. The snorkeling spot had calm waves, and our elementary school-aged sons seemed to relax and enjoy themselves very much. We were thrilled to see turtles, many types of fish, and even caught a glimpse of a manta ray later on! Akima's stories were enjoyable, and we definitely want to request him as our guide again next year!

夏休みが始まったばかりだったので、私たち家族4人だけでした。個人や大手のツアーではなかなか行けないような所を周って、最後はシュノーケルでした。シュノーケルの場所は波も穏やかで、小学生の息子達もとてもリラックスして楽しめたようです。亀やたくさんの種類の魚や後半ちらっとマンタも見ることができ、大興奮でした!アキマさんのお話も楽しくて、ぜひぜひ来年もガイドをお願いしたいです!

I think it depends on the day. 日によるんだと思います。

Reviewed by: ちびたろう

After reading the experiences, I was excited to participate because I heard we could see turtles and a lot of fish. Last time I joined an outrigger tour, there were many turtles, and I was really impressed, so I expected something similar this time. However, the waves were a bit high at the location, and there were many children and non-swimmers in the same group, so we probably couldn't go out too far this time. There weren't many fish, and of course, there were no turtles or seals... it left us wondering what we came here for. (laughs) Maybe it would have been better to snorkel on our own in Waikiki... I think it depends on the day! Also, the tour guide was very kind and nice. The transportation and care were excellent! So, you can participate with peace of mind! My rating reflects the condition of the sea that day.

体験談を見て、亀が見れて魚もたくさんみれるとのことで、期待して参加。
前回アウトリガー 前からのツアーに参加したら亀がたくさんいて、大感動したのでそんな感じかなと。
思ってましたが、現地では波も高めで同じグループの方も子供や泳げない人も多めで今回はあまり沖に出られなかったのかな?
魚も大していなくて、亀やアザラシはもちろんいなくて、、、何しにきたんだろうわたし達ってゆう感想でした。笑
ワイキキで自分らでシュノーケルした方が良かったかも。。。
日によるんだと思います!そして、ツアーガイドの方はとっても優しくていい方でした。
送迎やケアがとても良かった!なので安心して参加できます!

Reply from activity provider

Dear Chibitaro, thank you for joining our tour. Unfortunately, when the tide is high, waves often occur, and during such times, safety is our top priority, so we cannot go out to sea. I apologize for that. Additionally, many people participate in our tours, especially during this summer vacation season, where often half of the participants are children from multi-generational families. In such cases, the instructors must prioritize support for children and those who cannot swim, which may slow down the tour and lead to dissatisfaction among more experienced guests. I sincerely apologize for this.

Please don't let this discourage you; when the sea conditions are good, Hanauma Bay is truly beautiful, with a variety of fish to see. If you have the opportunity, I hope you will visit again.

Next time, I hope to guide you further out to sea, so I would appreciate your repeat visit. Thank you very much for coming. Mahalo!!

ちびたろう様、この度はツアーにお越しいただき、ありがとうございます。残念ながら満ち潮と重なるとどうしても波が出てしまうことが多いので、そんな時は安全第一で沖には出られないのです。ごめんなさいね。またツアーにはいろんな方が参加されますので、特にこの夏休みシーズンは3世代ファミリーでの参加も多く、人数の半数はお子様になってしまう時が多くなります。そんな時はどうしてもインストラクターはお子様や泳げない方へのサポートを優先するためにツアーがスローになったりで、上手なお客様にはご不満が出てしまうのかもしれません。本当に申し訳ございません。これに懲りずに、ハナウマ湾は海の状態が良い時に来ていただければ、本当にいろんな種類のお魚が見れてとても綺麗な海なんです。また機会がありましたらぜひ訪れてみてください。
次回は是非沖の方までご案内できればと思っておりますので、リピートしていただければと思っております。
本当にお越しいただきありがとうございました。Mahalo!!

ウミガメシュノーケリング ホロカイ・カタマラン号 高確率でウミガメに会えるタートルキャニオンへ!ソフトドリンク&スナック付き<3時間/英語/ワイキキホテル発>

I had a great time!! とっても楽しかった!!

Reviewed by: ako

I had a great time, so I’ll share some information for those who are new or considering a snorkeling experience. I hope this helps!

- The experience takes place on the left side as you exit the beach, where two blue umbrellas are set up. I confirmed at that time that fins are available for free (are they included in the experience plan?) so you don’t need to bring your own.

- Although it wasn't mentioned in the list of things to bring, if you are prone to motion sickness, especially seasickness, it's definitely a good idea to take some medication. The boat moves quite fast in the latter part of the experience, which might be a bit scary for those who are not fond of roller coasters.

- You can bring drinks, but it’s not necessary. Drinks are available for purchase on the boat (you pay when you disembark), so if you don’t want to carry extra items, I recommend buying them on the boat.

- During snorkeling, you can see schools of fish and turtles. I was able to see the turtles come up for air a couple of times, which was really close and exciting.

Wishing you a great experience!

楽しかったことは言うまでもないので、初めての方や、シュノーケリング体験を考えている方のための情報を書き込んでいきます。参考になれば幸いです。

・体験場所は、ビーチを出て左側に、青いパラソルが2つ並んだ場所で行います。
この時確認しましたが、フィン(足ひれ)は無料(体験プランの中に料金が入ってる?)で貸してくれるとのことでした。持参しなくても大丈夫でした。

・持参するものの中に書かれていませんでしたが、もちろん乗り物酔い、特に船酔いをする可能性がある人は、酔い止めを必ず飲んだ方がいいです。体験の後半かなりのスピードで船が移動します。ジェットコースターが苦手な方には、ちょっと怖いレベルかもしれません。

・飲み物は持参しても、しなくてもかまいません。船の中で有料(降りる時に支払います)で販売しているので、荷物が増えるのが嫌な方は船で買うことをオススメします。

・シュノーケリングについては、魚の群れや亀を見ることができます。亀は2回ほど息継ぎのため上がってきて間近で見ることができました。

良い体験になることを祈っております!

また機会があれば、参加したいです。
スタッフの皆さんはとても明るく、ジョークも素敵でした☆

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>

It was good. 良かったです。

Reviewed by: クール

Since my wife and daughter had no experience with snorkeling and weren't strong swimmers, we decided to hire a guide. It turned out to be a great decision. The guide carefully explained the precautions and techniques, and took great care of my daughter and wife, which made me feel at ease. I definitely think that having a guide is essential for beginners.

Also, I believe it's better to wear a wetsuit for various reasons. It reduces the risk of injury from coral and helps with buoyancy. I am truly grateful to our guide for this experience.

シュノーケリング未経験かつ泳ぎが得意でない妻と娘が一緒だったので、ガイドさんをつけました。
結果は大正解でした。注意事項ややり方を丁寧に教えてもらい、娘や妻をかなりケアしてくれたので安心でした。特に初心者は断然ガイド付がいいと思います。
また、ウエットスーツは色々な意味であった方がいいと思います。珊瑚でケガするリスクや、浮きやすさがあるからです。
今回のガイドさんには本当に感謝しています。

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 very satisfied to meet the turtle! カメにも会えて大満足!

Reviewed by: マナパパ

Last year, I went to the sandbar, and this year, the timing of the low tide didn't match, so the water level was about waist-deep. There's nothing we can do about nature. At the sandbar, I had a great time playing beach volleyball with people from overseas and had a female guide take professional-level photos of me! Also, during the turtle watching, we saw turtles swimming gracefully, and the kids were overjoyed!!

After enjoying delicious hamburgers, we went snorkeling. Although the visibility was a bit poor, I was healed by the colorful fish that ate food from my hand!

The captain, the guide, and the crew were all very kind, making it a truly enjoyable tour! I will definitely come back!

昨年もサンドバーへ行きましたが、今年も干潮タイミング合わず腰下程度の水位でした。こればかりは自然の事なので仕方ない。サンドバーでは海外の人とビーチバレーしたり、ガイドの女性にプロ並みの写真撮って頂いたりと大変楽しめました!また、タートルウォッチングでは優雅に泳ぐカメが顔も出してくれて子供も大喜び!!
美味しいハンバーガーを食べた後は、シュノーケリング。こちらも透明度はやや悪かったものの、手からエサを食べてくれる色とりどりの魚に癒されました!
キャプテン、ガイドの方、クルー、皆さん優しくて行程中ほんとに楽しいツアーでした!
また来まーす!

  • プロ並み?の写真撮影をして頂きました笑

  • 手に集まる魚に癒される〜

  • 嬉しい!カメに会えました!!

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>

It was fun! 楽しかった!

Reviewed by: misa

I was incredibly satisfied to encounter two seals and a sea turtle! Even as a beginner, I felt at ease swimming because they taught me how to use the snorkel. I appreciated that they checked in on me during the trip to see if I was okay. It was also great that they took photos before entering the water and underwater.

奇跡的にアザラシ二頭とウミガメに会う事が出来て大満足でした!初心者でもシュノーケルの使い方から色々と教えて頂けるので安心して泳ぐ事が出来ました。途中止まって大丈夫か確認してくれるのも有り難かったです。海に入る前と水中での写真を撮ってもらえるのもよかったです。

This time, I participated in snorkeling with my 13-year-old son. It was our first time snorkeling in Hawaii, and unfortunately, we didn't encounter any honu (turtles), but swimming with an incredible number of tropical fish became an unforgettable memory.

I felt very comfortable participating thanks to Fumio's thoughtful care, which is especially appreciated from a woman's perspective. Thank you so much for sending us so many photos after the tour! Next time we visit Hawaii, I definitely want to join Fumio's tour again. Thank you for this wonderful experience.

今回、13歳の息子と親子でシュノーケリングに参加しました。ハワイでのシュノーケリングは初めてで、残念ながらホヌ(亀)には出会えませんでしたが、物凄い数の熱帯魚と一緒に泳げたことは、忘れられない思い出となりました。
フミオさんの女性ならではの細やかな心遣いに安心して参加でき、とても良かったです。参加後に沢山の写真を送って下さり、本当にありがとうございました!次回、ハワイを訪れた際もまたフミオさんのツアーに是非参加したいと思います。この度はありがとうございました。

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>

Thank you for your support. お世話になりました

Reviewed by: non

I participated with my father and son. All three of us were filled with anxiety as it was our first time snorkeling. In the end, we felt that we couldn't have done it without the guide! We didn't even know how to put on the wetsuits, and once we got into the water, we struggled to put on our fins due to the waves and ended up stumbling a lot. During those times, we received help multiple times. Especially my father, who is 70 years old, needed support in some areas. He also mentioned that he couldn't have done it without the guide! We were desperately trying to keep up with everyone, but the underwater scenery was more beautiful than we imagined, and it became the best memory of this trip! Thank you very much!

父と息子と私の三人で参加をさせて頂きました。
三人とも初めてのシュノーケリングで不安でいっぱいでした。結果としてガイドさん無しでは出来なかったという感想です!ウェットスーツの着用の仕方から分からず、また海に入ってから波に押されなかなかフィンが履けなかったりよろけてしまったり。そんな時に何度も助けて頂きました。特に父は70歳という年齢もありついていけないところもサポートして下さいました。父もガイドさん無しでは無理だった!と話していました。皆さんについていくのが必死でしたが、、海の中は想像以上に素敵でこの旅の1番の思い出となりました!!ありがとうございました!

Thank you for joining the tour with Blue Hawaii Divers. During the afternoon tour that day, we experienced the highest tide, which made for some challenging conditions with waves, but your father did a great job and persevered until the end. I remember that your 6-year-old child also swam hard, riding on Mr. Dan's back like a little turtle. I'm truly happy to hear that it became the best memory of your trip. Please do come back with your family again. We are always here to assist you. Thank you very much. Mahalo!!

この度はブルーハワイダイバースのツアーにお越しいただき、ありがとうございます。この日の午後ツアーの最中が一番の満ち潮と重なり、波もあり、ちょっと難しいコンディションでしたが、お父様も最後まで頑張ってくださいました。確か6歳のお子様もダン先生の背中に子亀のように乗っかって頑張って泳いでくれた日でしたね。旅の一番の思い出になったとまでおっしゃっていただき、本当に嬉しく思います。是非またご家族皆様でリピートしてください。
いつでも皆様のお手伝いをさせていただきますよ。
本当にありがとうございました。Mahalo!!

A place I can't go by myself. 自分じゃ行けないところ

Reviewed by: めぐあり

It was really great! I couldn't meet the turtles, but I thought it was not allowed to go over the coral, so I couldn't go there myself. I was able to see schools of fish many times, and I was so moved that I wondered if I had come to heaven.

とっても良かったです!カメには会えなかったけど、サンゴの上は行っては駄目と思っていたので、自分では行けなかった所でした。魚の大群が何度も見れて、天国来てしまったかしら?と思うほど感動しました。

カイルアビーチ送迎シャトルサービス 嬉しい5時間滞在!ビーチグッズなど各種レンタル付き<日本語スタッフ/ランチ付>

Fulfilled!! 充実!!

Reviewed by: わんこ

We participated as a family of three (with a middle school daughter). We consulted with our guide, Mieko, about wanting to visit Kailua Town, and she gave us advice that allowed us to add bike rentals and extend our trip to Lanikai Beach and Kailua Town. Lanikai Beach has beautiful sand and clear water, and it was also less crowded, allowing us to relax. I'm glad we chose this course instead of the half-day option. There wasn't a single unnecessary item for enjoying the beach; everything was well thought out. The pizza for lunch was exquisite! The crust was perfectly baked, and we were amazed by its size, but we finished it all.

親子3人(娘中1生)で参加させて頂きました。
カイルアタウンも行きたいとガイドのみえこさんに相談し、アドバイスいただき、レンタサイクルを追加してでラニカイビーチ、カイルアタウンまで足を延ばすことができました。
ラニカイビーチは砂浜、海の綺麗さ素晴らしいです。また、人も少なくのんびりできました。半日コースではなくこちらのコースにしてよかったです。
ビーチアイテムも楽しむのに無駄なものは一つもなく、よく考えられているなと思いました。ランチもピザが絶品!生地がパリっと焼き上げられ大きいさに驚きながらも食べつくしました。

I joined this tour because I wanted to swim with dolphins! It was completely different from any snorkeling I've done before and required a lot of physical effort! But that's the purpose of the tour, to swim with dolphins! I swam with all my might to be with the dolphins☆ I was very tired, but I was able to swim with many dolphins and even encountered a turtle, creating wonderful memories♪ The spam onigiri I had on the boat was really delicious (^_^)

イルカと泳ぎたくてこのツアーに参加しました!今まで参加したシュノーケルとは全然違ってとても体力のいるツアーです!でもこれはツアーの目的であるイルカと泳ぐため!イルカと泳ぎたくて全力で泳ぎました☆とっても疲れましたがたくさんのイルカと泳ぐことができ、また亀にも遭遇してとても楽しい思い出ができました♪船の上で食べたスパムおにぎりがとっても美味しかったです(^_^)

Reviewed by: ひまわり

The tide was either high or it was the season, but the seawater was at waist height. Even so, everyone seemed to be having a great time playing beach volleyball, practicing snorkeling, and relaxing on the boat! I had never tried snorkeling before, but I enjoyed it very much! The staff included a Japanese person who alternated between English and Japanese, which was reassuring. The hamburgers we had on the boat were also delicious!

潮の満ち引きなのか、時季なのか?、海水が腰の高さでした。 それでも、ビーチバレーやったり、シュノーケルの練習が出来たり、船の上でのんびりしたり思い思いの時間を過ごしていて皆さん楽しそうでした!   シュノーケルは未体験でしたが、とてもとても楽しめました! スタッフの方も、日本人がいらっしゃって、英語と日本語とを交互にしてくださるので安心です。
船上で食べるハンバーガーも美味でした!
