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's fun, but... 楽しいですが…

Reviewed by: KAORU

Since I had never snorkeled before, I opted for a guided tour. It was reassuring to have a Japanese instructor. The advantage of the tour is that you get to see many great spots in Hanauma Bay. The downside is that since it's a group tour with about ten people, there were frequent instances of being kicked, bumped into, and having selfie sticks hit me. I understand that everyone is trying their best in the water, but there was no apology even after we got back to the beach... I think the operating company should pay a bit more attention to this. I didn't get injured, but I felt it could lead to trouble. If there were only 4 to 5 participants, I think such issues would be less likely, so I recommend that those interested ask about the number of participants for the day before deciding to join. Alternatively, if it's a large group, it might be best to participate with the understanding that kicking and bumping will happen.

シュノーケルをした事かなかったので、ガイド付きにしました。インストラクターの方が日本人の方がいて安心でした。ツアーなのでハナウマ湾の良い所を沢山見れるのがメリット。デメリットはツアーなので10名位が一緒なので、蹴られる、ぶつかる、セルフィーの棒があたる。はしょっちゅう。海の中で必死なのは分かりますが、ビーチに上がってからも謝罪なし…ここは運営会社さんで、ちょっと注意した方が良いと思います。私は怪我はなかったですが、トラブルの原因になりかねないと思ってました。4～5名の参加であれば、このようなトラブルは少ないと思うので、参加される方は、事前に当日の参加人数を聞いてから参加を決める。もしくは大人数なら蹴られる、ぶつかるを前提の上で参加されると良いと思います。

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

A Trip NOT to miss.....

Reviewed by: Jillo

As a 30yr kamaaina , originally from Scotland, I took a visiting Scot on this voyage.. WHAT a joy!
Knowing the sandbar, the snorkeling and turtle viewing areas as a local...I was SO impressed how this professional bunch put on a safe and VERY authentic trip for all to enjoy the best of a windward bay on Oahu.
I can't imagine how anyone could be disappointed going on such a fun, relaxing, water adventure.
Kudos to the local staff who ALL did an exemplary job.

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＞

You can enjoy snorkeling even off the coast of Waikiki, and you might see sea turtles too. ワイキキ沖でも十分シュノーケルが楽しめてウミガメも

Reviewed by: vanilla

I previously participated in another snorkeling tour off Waikiki and had a great time, so this time I decided to join this one, which is slightly more expensive but includes a life vest as standard. My husband, who isn't the best swimmer, insisted on having a life vest, so we chose this option, and it turned out to be a good decision. Fortunately, there were plenty of sea turtles this time, which was a delight. The water clarity was decent, and personally, I think you can have a great time snorkeling off Waikiki without needing to go far. For those who have limited time but still want to snorkel, I think this is a great option. Drinks are available for purchase, and snacks are free. As expected, drinks are on the pricier side, so it might be a good idea to bring your own.

以前もう一方のワイキキ沖シュノーケルに参加してヨカッタので今回は若干高いけどライフベストが基本で配られるこちらに参加してみました。泳ぎが今ひとつな主人がライフベストがないとイヤ、というのでそうしたのですが、結果よかったです。ラッキーなことにウミガメが今回たくさんいて堪能。透明度もまずまずだし個人的には遠出しなくても十分ワイキキ沖で楽しめると思います。あまり時間がないけどシュノーケルも、という方にはポイント高いと思います。ドリンクは有料、スナックは無料です。当たり前ですがドリンクは高めなので、持参がよいかと・・・

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 the best guide. 最高のガイドでした

Reviewed by: メガネ男子

As expected! The two guides, a Japanese woman and an American man who speaks fluent Japanese, really knew the area well. They coordinated perfectly, communicating by phone to navigate around construction areas on the way from the hotel to Hanauma Bay, which was wonderful.

Of course, at Hanauma Bay, they knew the best spots to see a lot of fish. With nine participants and two guides, one led the way while the other stayed at the back to ensure safety and provide support. While other tour groups couldn't see any turtles, we all got to see them perfectly! (We were lucky that the turtle was resting while eating.) Those of us with cameras were able to take great photos.

Some guests were tired from swimming, so while one group headed straight back to the beach, my husband and I decided to take our time and swim back while looking for fish. Their quick thinking in this situation was impressive! I definitely recommend the early morning tour. The visibility is much better in the morning compared to the afternoon.

I wonder how long we swam... We must have swum from one end of the bay to the other, so having good stamina is definitely a plus, but I recommend renting a wetsuit (I brought my own). It helps prevent sunburn, and more importantly, wearing a wetsuit provides buoyancy, so you will definitely float!

I hope everyone enjoys Hanauma Bay! If you want to see lots of fish and meet turtles, it's best to have a guide.

さすが！地元をよく知るガイドさん2人（日本人の女性とアメリカ人？男性で日本語ペラペラ）なだけあって、連携もよくホテルからハナウマ湾までの道のりで工事で通れないところを電話で連絡しあって迂回したりと、素敵でした。
もちろん、ハナウマ湾でも、魚の多くいるポイント知ってらっしゃるし、9名参加者がいて、ガイドさん2人来てくれて、先導する役と一番後ろから安全を確認・サポートする役としてしっかりついて、見てくれてました。他のツアーの方がカメを見れない中、うちらは全員バッチリ！（運良くカメさんがお食事で、止まっていた）見れ、カメラをもっていった私たちは、しっかり撮影もしてくれました。泳ぎ疲れたお客さんがいて、最後は直線的に浜辺へ帰る組みと私たち夫婦はまだ泳げるということで、魚を見ながらゆっくり遠回りしながら帰るといった、機転もきいたところもナイスです！やっぱり朝イチのツアーがおススメです。朝の方が「より」（午後と比べたら）透明度いいですからねぇ〜。
どのくらい泳いでいたでしょうか…湾の端から端まで泳いだはずなので、まぁ体力はあるにこしたことないですが、ウエットスーツ（私は持参）レンタルはお勧めします。日焼け防止、そして、なにより、ウエットスーツ着てれば浮力つくので、確実に浮きます！
みなさんもこのハナウマ湾ぜひ楽しんでください！！
魚たくさんみたい、カメにも逢いたい！ということであれば、ガイドさんつけた方がいいですよ。

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 became a lifelong memory! 一生の思い出になりました！

Reviewed by: マッキー

Personally, I have been to Hanauma Bay several times, but this was my first time joining a tour. As a result, I was able to see a honu up close for the first time and swim alongside it, creating wonderful memories! The guide was a veteran with over 15 years of experience, and at the beginning, they provided snorkeling instructions, making it安心 for beginners. After that, they took us to a spot where we had a high chance of seeing honu. Within about 20 minutes, we encountered a honu while admiring colorful fish, and I was able to swim close enough to touch it. The sight of the honu swimming gracefully, completely unafraid of the people around it, was the ultimate healing experience. They also took many photos underwater, which we received for free later, making it worth more than the price.

When we got back to the sandy beach, the guide offered us water and snacks.

Thank you for a wonderful time! I highly recommend it.

個人的にハナウマ湾には何度か行ったことがありますが、ツアーに参加したのは初めてです。
結果、初めてホヌを間近で見て、一緒に泳ぐことが出来、素晴らしい思い出となりました！
ガイドの方が15年以上のベテランさんで、始めはシュノーケリングの手引きをして下さるので初心者でも安心です。
その後ホヌのいる確率が高いスポットへ連れて行ってくれます。色とりどりの魚を横目に20分程でホヌに出会い、手が届く位の距離で一緒に泳ぐことが出来ました。人間に囲まれても全く怖がることなく優雅に泳ぐホヌの姿は、最高の癒しです。
海中での写真もたくさん撮ってくださり、後日無料でいただけるので、お値段以上です。
大満足で砂浜に上がると、ガイドさんからお水とスナック菓子をいただきました。

最高のひと時を、ありがとうございました！絶対オススメです。

Turtle♪ 亀♪

Reviewed by: emi

When we arrived, it was just after high tide and the water was up to our waists, but we had a great time! The ocean was beautiful! Amazing!! Just that alone lifted our spirits. The weather was a mix of sunny and cloudy, but it didn't rain.

A turtle, which seemed to be used to the tour guides (like an old friend from childhood), was swimming gently near the boat. We were told not to touch it, shout, or chase it! If we followed these rules, it gradually came closer to us. It was big! So cute!! Everyone was captivated, haha.

It made everyone so happy♪ We didn't go snorkeling; instead, we borrowed some floaties and just floated around, having a blast! It was so much fun! Floaties are the best! The food was delicious too! Kalbi♪

After getting out of the water, it got chilly, so having a warm drink was nice. The coffee was great! This was my second time participating, and I definitely want to come again☆

着いた頃は満潮から少し経った頃で水は腰上でしたが、充分楽しかったです！
海綺麗！最高！！これだけでテンション上がります。
お天気は晴れたり曇ったりでしたが雨は降らずでした。
ツアーのお姉さんに慣れた亀さん(小さい頃からのお友達みたい)が船の近くをユラユラ泳いでます。
触らず、大声出さず、追いかけない！
これを守ればだんだん近寄ってきてくれます。
大きい！可愛い！！
みんな夢中でした 笑
みんな幸せになれますね♪
私達は、シュノーケリングはせず、浮き輪を借りてプカプカユラユラ遊んでました！

ご飯も美味しかった！カルビ♪
海から上がると冷えるので温かい飲み物も嬉しかったです。
コーヒー美味しかった！

My dream has come true. 夢が叶った。

Reviewed by: ねこねこ

I participated with my husband and daughter. My daughter's dream is to swim with sea turtles, but I was a bit anxious since I'm not a good swimmer. However, the guide kindly taught us how to use the snorkel and swim, and after a little practice, I was able to do it. Schools of fish swam right in front of us, large fish came close, and we even saw an eel. Swimming among the beautiful fish felt like being a mermaid. The guide searched for sea turtles while guiding us. And finally, we spotted a sea turtle! It was eating seaweed attached to a rock, so we were able to watch it slowly and thoroughly. My daughter was overjoyed to have her wish come true. My husband also said this was the most fun part of our trip. Thank you for your efforts in finding the sea turtles. We created wonderful memories.

夫と娘と参加しました。娘の夢がホヌと泳ぐことなのですが、私は泳ぎが苦手なので少し不安でした。でも、ガイドさんがシュノーケルの使い方や泳ぎ方を丁寧に教えてくださったので、少し練習するとできるようになりました。目の前を魚の群れが横切ったり、大きな魚が近寄ってきたり、ウツボまで見れました。綺麗な魚の間を泳いで、人魚になった気分です。ガイドさんは私たちを案内しながらホヌを探します。そしてついにホヌを発見！岩についた海藻を食べているので、ゆっくり思う存分見ることができました。娘は念願が叶って大喜び。夫も今回の旅行で一番楽しかったと言っています。頑張ってホヌを探してくださって、ありがとうございました。素敵な思い出ができました。

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＞

A short tour for enjoyment. 短時間で楽しむツアー

Reviewed by: nao

We took a large bus to the dock, and from there, we transferred to a boat to set off. It's an efficient way to experience everything, so it might be great for those who are short on time or want to pack in a lot of activities. We had imagined we would be able to snorkel a bit more leisurely, so that was a bit disappointing. If snorkeling is your main goal, it might be better to choose a different tour. However, if your aim is to visit the sandbar, this could be a good option.

大型バスに乗って船着き場まで移動、そこから船に乗り換えて出発。
効率よく体験ができるので、時間のない方や色んなものを詰め込んでみたい方にはいいいかも。
私たちは、もうすこしゆっくりシュノーケリングができるかと想像していたので、その点はが残念でした。シュノーケリングを目的に参加するなら別のツアーがいいかもしれません。
サンドバーの見学が目的なら、いいかも。

It was a wonderful experience.
The beautiful sea and blue sky made for very fortunate weather.
Participating in the afternoon allowed for a relaxed schedule, making it a perfect plan for the day after arrival.
Although the water level was a bit high, so I couldn't experience the "white sandy beach floating off Kaneohe Bay," it was still worth it. This scenery was breathtaking.
I was also able to see sea turtles up close (two of them), which was very satisfying.
The staff were very entertaining, making it a fun tour.
Next time, I would like to join the morning plan.

とても素敵な経験でした。
綺麗な海に青い空、とても恵まれた天気だったと思います。
午後からの参加は時間的にも余裕があり、到着翌日にはちょうど良いプランでした。
ちょっと水位が高かったので「カネオヘ湾沖に浮かぶ白い砂浜」は経験できませんでしたが
それを差し引いても良かったです。この景色は感動的です。
ウミガメを近くで見ることも出来（しかも2頭）こちらも大満足。
スタッフの方も大変面白くて楽しいツアーでした。
次回は午前のプランに参加してみたいですね。

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

Outstanding

Reviewed by: Lesley

These guys are fantastic. Very customer centric and knowledgeable. They went out of their way to show us a good time and all with a great sense of humour. They had spotted a pod of dolphins off to the left of our journey out to the turtles and took a wee detour so we could experience the dolphins. It was amazing!! Loved the turtles experience - the only recommendation here would be that the option of being able to hire a gopro on board would have put the icing on the cake. We didn't have an underwater camera and would gladly have paid to hire one to capture the turtles and colourful fish down under.
The sail was fantastic and the flying fish was another added unexpected bonus.
What a job!

I was looking forward to it, but unfortunately, the water level was higher due to the rain, and the visibility was a bit poor. Still, the sea was very beautiful, and the guide was interesting, and the staff were friendly, so I enjoyed it! If the weather had been good, it would have been truly amazing!

Also, I brought my 1-year-old and 3-year-old children, but I regretted not bringing small floaties for them. (It's dangerous if you don't hold them securely to prevent them from drifting away.) There were life jackets for kids, but they were too big for my 1-year-old, so I had to hold him, and my 3-year-old was cold, so we couldn't stay in the water for long. It was a bit challenging to hold both of them.

期待して行ったのですが、残念なことに雨が降った後のため水かさも増していたのと、透明度が少し悪かったです。ただ、それでもとてもキレイな海だったし、ガイドさんも面白くスタッフさんたちも感じが良かったので、楽しめました！
天気が良ければ本当に最高だったのに！
あと、1歳と3歳の子供を連れて行ったのですが、小さな子供用の浮き輪が無いため、持参していけば良かったと後悔してます。(流されないために、しっかり押さえておかないと危ないですが)
ライフジャケットも子供用はありましたが、1歳児には大きくつけられないので、抱っこしたままで、3歳も寒かったため、ずっと海に入って居られず、2人抱っこして居たので、少し大変でした。

Reviewed by: SARIA

Due to the traffic from the parade, my name wasn't called at the meeting time, which made me a bit anxious. However, everything turned out fine. Since this is also a meeting point for various tours, I think the guides should be more mindful when calling names. The cruise guide was cheerful and had interesting stories. The hamburger was surprisingly delicious! There are also restrooms, so no worries there. We visited several spots where we could see sea turtles, and I was able to see them about twice, but it was just for a moment, so I had to really focus. The sea is beautiful and shallow. When moving from the boat to the sandbar, it gets a bit deep, but you can borrow life jackets, so there’s no need to worry, even for children. They also take you to deeper spots for snorkeling. On the way back, you'll be getting on the bus while still wet, so it's better to prepare a simple change of clothes or bring extra towels. I'm glad I participated.

パレードによる渋滞のためか、集合時間になってもなかなか名前が呼ばれず、ドキドキしました。が、大丈夫でした。ただ、各種ツアーの集合場所でもあるので、ガイドの方が名前を呼ぶのは意識された方がよいかと思います。クルーズガイドの方は明るく話が面白かったです。ハンバーガーもビックリおいしかった！トイレもあり、心配ありません。ウミガメが見えるスポットを複数回ってくれるので、2回ほど見ることができました、が一瞬だったりするので、目を凝らして見ました。海はきれいで遠浅です。船からサンドバーに移動する際、少し深いですが、ライフジャケットを借りられるので、子供でも心配ありませんでした。シュノーケリングに深い場所にも連れて行ってくれます。帰りは濡れたままバスに乗るので、簡単な着替えかタオル多めに用意した方がベターです。参加してよかったです。

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＞

As expected from a master guide tour, I am very satisfied. さすが達人ガイドツアー、大満足です。

Reviewed by: よっちん

We participated as a family of four: my husband, our middle school son, our elementary school son, and myself. This was the afternoon tour on August 14. After researching various tours, we ultimately chose this one. Fortunately, we were the only participants, just our family of four. Our expert guide was Fumio (female). We set off to Hanauma Bay in Fumio's car. Perhaps because it was the afternoon tour or just by chance, there were no entry restrictions and no lines.

First, we attended an orientation session about Hanauma Bay in the hall. After it ended, we signed up, and it seems that if we register, we can skip the line next time (though there may be a deadline). After leaving the venue, we met up with Fumio and walked down the slope to the beach. Along the way, we took a commemorative photo at a scenic spot. The beach had snorkeling sets already prepared, and we learned how to put them on. There was a locked trunk for valuables, so we stored our things there, which was reassuring.

Then we headed into the sea. Instead of the usual saliva method for anti-fogging the masks, we were given a special anti-fog solution, which made our view clear. Fumio held our elementary school child's hand, allowing us to focus on our snorkeling without worry. The waves were quite high, and it would have been daunting to go alone, but we felt safe following her. We not only found plenty of fish but also encountered a sea turtle, which was incredibly exciting. I truly felt that choosing this tour was the right decision.

Once in the water, I was surprised at how cold it felt. As everyone said, it was definitely the right choice to take the afternoon tour instead of the morning one. After getting out of the water, we changed and enjoyed some mineral water and snacks that were provided. I had planned to take the tram back up the hill to the parking lot, but the kids wanted to walk, so I reluctantly followed them. However, it turned out to be quite refreshing, and I didn't sweat at all.

Snorkeling at Hanauma Bay was so much fun. On the way back in the car, we heard various stories from Fumio. She mentioned that currently, there are only two sea turtles in Hanauma Bay. It seems that a popular seal at Waikiki Beach has taken the spotlight. What a surprise... When we arrived at the hotel, we thanked Fumio, and the tour ended. I promised myself that if we come back to Hawaii, I will specifically request Fumio for this tour again. I encourage everyone to have a wonderful time on this tour as well.

　夫婦と中学生、小学生の息子の４人で参加しました。8/14の午後のツアーです。いろんなツアーを調べて、最終的にこのツアーにしました。参加者はラッキーにも私たち家族４人のみ。達人ガイドは、フミオさんです（女性です）。フミオさんの運転する車でいざハナウマ湾へ。午後のツアーのせいなのか、たまたまなのか、入場制限などなく、行列もありませんでした。まずはホールでハナウマ湾の説明会。終了後サインしておくと登録され次回はパスできるとの事（期限はあるようですが）。会場を出るとフミオさんと合流し、坂を下って海辺まで。途中、景色の良いところで記念写真をパチリ。浜辺の芝生には、シュノーケルセットがすでに用意されており、装着法を教わります。貴重品は鍵付のトランクがあるのでその中へ収納。安心です。そしていざ海へ。マスクの曇り止めは、よくある唾液を塗りなさいというものではなく、専用の曇り止めをつけてもらい視界爽快。フミオさんが小学生の子供の手を引いてくださるので私たちは安心して自分のシュノーケリングに専念することができました。海は結構波が高く、個人で行くと躊躇しそうなスポットでも、安心してついて行けました。魚の多いスポットはもちろんのこと、念願のウミガメにも出会えて大興奮。心からこのツアーにしてよかったと思いました。海に入っていると思いのほか体が冷えます。皆さんの言うとおり、午前ではなく午後のツアーにして正解でした。海から上がると、着替えたのち、用意されたミネラルウォーターとスナックで一息。駐車場までのぼり坂を帰りはトラムに乗ろうと思っていましたが、子供たちが歩いていくというので仕方なく？ついてゆくことに。でも汗をかくこともなく、思ったより爽快でした。ハナウマ湾のシュノーケリング、あー、楽しかった。帰りの車の中ではフミオさんからいろんなお話を聞きました。現在ハナウマ湾には２匹しかウミガメがいないとの事。ワイキキビーチでは大人気のアザラシ君にやられたそうです。なんということでしょう。。。ホテルに着くと、フミオさんにお礼を言ってツアー終了です。次回もハワイに来たら、フミオさん指定でこのツアーに参加するぞ。。と心に誓うのでした。皆さんもぜひ、このツアーで素晴らしいひと時を。。

We participated for the first time as a couple with our 10-year-old child. I thought we might be sleepy since we woke up early, but we had a great time listening to the lively stories from the staff on the bus. I found the story about how bringing bananas on the boat is bad luck to be quite interesting.

Although it was August, I heard that the water can be quite cold, so we rented wetsuits for the family. It was hot when we changed on the boat, but I was glad it wasn't hot at all in the water.

I’m not very confident in my swimming skills, so I used a float. As soon as we entered the sea, we encountered a pod of dolphins, and I was moved to see them swimming right under our feet multiple times. We also saw a turtle, and the schools of fish were truly beautiful. Our whole family was very satisfied.

The staff were cheerful, and we were able to have a fun time. I purchased the photo data taken by the photographer for $50, and the photos were definitely professional quality. The only cash we spent on-site was for the wetsuit rental and the photos. There were no shops on-site, but we were provided with spam rice balls and drinks as snacks, which was sufficient.

I would love to participate again when we go to Hawaii.

１０歳の子と夫婦で初めて参加しました。朝早くから眠いかなと思いましたが、行きのバスから元気なお姉さんのお話を聞きながら楽しく過ごしました。バナナは縁起が悪いので船に持ち込むのはダメ、というお話が面白かったです。

海に入るとすぐにイルカの群れに遭遇できて、足の下を群れが何度も通って行くのを見て感動しました。カメにも会えたし、魚の群れも本当にキレイでした。家族全員、大満足です。
スタッフの皆さんも陽気で、楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。
カメラマンさんが撮ってくれた写真のデータを５０ドルで購入しましたが、さすがプロという感じの写真でした。現地で使った現金はウェットスーツ代と写真代だけでした。現地に売店などはありませんが、軽食でスパムおにぎりと飲物を頂けたので十分でした。
またハワイに行ったら参加したいです。

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＞

It was amazing. 最高でした

Reviewed by: がっちゃん

I had a very enjoyable day! First of all, the guide was incredibly fun! She was bright and attentive to her surroundings. On the day of the tour, instead of boarding a boat with only Japanese people, we took an international boat. As a result, it was a smaller group, which I think was great. The BBQ for lunch was also very delicious, and we were able to see many sea turtles.

とても楽しい1日を過ごせました！
まずガイドのお姉さんが最高に楽しい！明るくて周りをしっかり見てくれている方でした。
当日、日本人だけの船には乗らず、インターナショナルな船に乗船。結果、少人数になり良かったと思います。お昼のBBQもとても美味しかったし、ウミガメもたくさん見ることができました。

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＞

Encountered a manta ray in Oahu! オアフでマンタに遭遇！

Reviewed by: Motty

I have been to Oahu many times, but I had never been to West Oahu, so I decided to join this tour. The instructor was a cute woman, which surprised me a bit. However, she was very knowledgeable, and I felt reassured once we entered the water. West Oahu is said to have mostly sunny weather, and the day of the tour was no exception. We could see dolphins swimming offshore from the beach, and the views of the Kaneohe Sandbar and Makaha Valley were beautiful and magnificent. The mystical Kaneana Cave is a place that is not easily accessible, so this tour is definitely worth participating in. During snorkeling at Pokai Bay, not only did we see sea turtles, but we also encountered a manta ray! I had seen one while diving on the Big Island before, but I never expected to see one while snorkeling from the beach on Oahu. The instructor mentioned that it was her first time encountering one on this tour, and she was surprised as well. The creatures you encounter in the ocean vary by season. I would love to join another tour again.

何度もオアフには行っていますが、西オアフには行ったことがなかったため参加しました。ガイドでインストラクターがキュートな女性でちょっとビックリ。しかし、とても知識があって、海に入ると頼もしさを感じました。西オアフは基本的に晴天が多いそうですが、参加日も快晴。沖を泳ぐイルカがビーチからも見え、カネへの礼拝山やマカハの渓谷も美しく素晴しかったです。神秘的なカネアナ洞窟は、なかなか行くことは出来ないところだと思うので、このツアーに参加する価値があります。ポーカイベイでのシュノーケルでは、海亀だけではなく、ナント！マンタに遭遇！！ハワイ島でのダイビングでは以前見たことがありますが、オアフ島で、しかもビーチからのシュノーケルで見ることが出来るとは思ってもみませんでした。インストラクターの方も、このツアーでは、初めてだそうで、驚いていらっしゃいました。季節によって海で出会う生き物は色々。またご案内いただきたいと思います。

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 was able to see a Hawaiian monk seal. ハワイアンモンクシールを見れました。

Reviewed by: ほりうちんぐ

It was a tour where we drove through the western side, which I had never been to before, while listening to various explanations. Along the way, we were able to see a wild Hawaiian monk seal, which is said to be quite rare. The snorkeling lasted about an hour at the end. It was a beach with no tourists, just two locals fishing. We saw turtles and fish, but I thought it would have been better if the water clarity was higher for snorkeling. I think the tour of West Oahu is unique and good, but it felt a bit pricey. I wish it had included lunch at least.

行ったことがなかった西側をドライブしながら色々な説明を聞くツアーでした。その道中なかなか見る事が出来ないらしい野生のハワイアンモンクシールを見る事が出来ました。シュノーケリングは最後に1時間くらいでした。地元の人が2人釣りをしているくらいの観光客のいないビーチでした。カメや魚も見れましたが、シュノーケリングするにはもっと透明度が高いといいのになと思いました。西オアフのツアーは珍しくて良いと思いますが、少し料金が高いかなという印象でした。せめてランチ付きだったらよかったかなーと思います。

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＞

A day of complete satisfaction! 大満足の一日！

Reviewed by: べあーーー

This is my second time coming to Hawaii, and although I participated in a dolphin tour last time, this was my first time joining a tour with this company!
We left early in the morning, but the stories on the bus were so entertaining that we arrived at the port in no time, haha.
The staff were all fun and friendly, which made me feel very comfortable participating. I was extremely satisfied seeing dolphins and sea turtles in the beautifully clear ocean! The weather was great, and I had the best experience on a perfect day for a dolphin tour! Diving into the crystal-clear water felt like flying in the sky, and it was so refreshing that all my daily fatigue just disappeared! The tour was truly enjoyable from the boat ride there and back, and although I had never bought additional photos before, I had so much fun that I ended up buying them for the first time! Thank you! I will participate again next time!!

ハワイに来るのは今回で2回で、前回もイルカのツアーには参加したのですが、この会社のツアーに参加するのは今回が初めてでした！
早朝からの出発ですが、バスの中での話が面白くてあっという間に港に着きました 笑
スタッフさんも面白くて楽しい方ばかりで、とても安心して参加することができ、透き通った綺麗な海で見るイルカとウミガメに大満足！！天気も良く、絶好のイルカツアー日和に最高の体験をすることが出来ました！海面まで透き通っている海に潜っていると、まるで空を飛んでいるようで、日頃の疲れが全てぶっ飛ぶくらい気持ちよかったです！そして船上の行きも帰りまで本当に楽しいツアーで、追加写真などは今まで買ったことがなかったのですが、楽しすぎて初めて買ってしまいました！！ありがとうございます！次も参加します！！

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 made a lifelong memory. 一生の思い出ができました

Reviewed by: ゆりりゅう

I participated with my two children, a fourth grader and a second grader. It was our first time snorkeling and swimming in a sea where we couldn't touch the bottom, but each staff member was incredibly attentive, providing support and assistance in a very unobtrusive manner.

We were very lucky that day and were amazed to find ourselves swimming right above a large pod of dolphins. We also encountered sea turtles and rays, and my children had a great time touching real sea urchins.

I completely forgot about the reconfirmation by 8 PM the day before, and when I realized it was already past 9 PM, I left a voicemail at the local office. I was really anxious about not being picked up that morning, but when I arrived at the meeting point at 5:30 AM, they successfully picked us up. It was reassuring to know that VELTRA confirmed our local reservation from Japan, which eased my worries.

Next time, I definitely want to participate in the Dolphin University as well. Thank you very much!

小4と小2の子連れ＆母の3人で参加しました。
シュノーケル未経験＆足のつかない海でのスイミングも初めてでしたが、
スタッフの皆さん一人一人が細やかな気配りをしてくださり、実にさりげなくかつ常にフォロー＆サポートしてくださいました。
当日はとてもラッキーで、イルカの大群の真上を泳いでいる自分たちに親子ともにビックリ。ウミガメやエイにも会えたし、子どもは本当のウニも触れてとても楽しそうでした。

前日20時までのリコンファームをすっかり忘れていて、気づいた時には21時過ぎ。現地のオフィスに留守電を残したものの、当日の朝に迎えに来ていただけなかったらどうしよう・・ととても不安な気持ちで早朝の待ち合わせ場所に向かったのですが（朝5時半）、無事、ピックアップしていただけました。不安な気持ちの中で、時差を活かしたVELTRAさんが現地の予約を日本から確認してくださったのですが、それもとても心強かったです。

次回はぜひイルカ大学にも参加したいと思います。ありがとうございました。

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＞

Fish of Hawaii ハワイの魚たち

Reviewed by: Devit

I visited Hanauma Bay for the first time in 25 years, and I was greatly impressed by the variety of fish compared to before. Thanks to the experienced guide, I was able to encounter turtles and rare seals, making it a valuable experience. Next time, I would like to try diving as well.

25年ぶりにハナウマに行きましたが、以前より多くの種類の魚たちに大感動でした。またベテランガイドの方のおかげで、カメや珍しいアザラシにも出逢えて貴重な体験が出来ました。次回はダイビングも体験したいと思います。
