I had participated in a morning tour twice before, but I was drawn to this tour because of the BBQ lunch and snorkeling at the coral reef. We spent about an hour at the sandbar, including lunchtime, and then moved to the snorkeling spot for about another hour, enjoying the incredibly beautiful sea. The day I participated was sunny, and with the high temperatures of midsummer, the water was warm, so I didn't feel cold even after being in the sea for a long time. However, during cooler seasons, it might be tough on the body. I believe there was also a wetsuit rental service available.
The BBQ burgers grilled on the boat were very delicious. You can choose from about three types of juice, including cola and lemonade. On the way back, when I started to feel cold, I enjoyed some hot cocoa. My mother, who just turned sixty, was also very satisfied with the tour. I highly recommend giving it a try!
午前のみのツアーに2回参加したことがありましたが、BBQランチとサンゴ礁でのシュノーケリングに惹かれ、こちらのツアーを申し込みました。ランチタイムを含めサンドバーで約一時間、それからシュノーケリングのスポットへ移動して約一時間、十分過ぎるほど美しい海を堪能しました。参加した日は晴れ、また真夏の高い気温で水温は温かく、長時間海にいても寒くなることはなかったのですが、気温が下がる時期は体に堪えるかもしれません。たしかウェットスーツの貸出サービスもあったと思います。
船の上で焼いてくれるBBQバーガーもとても美味しかったです。ジュースはコーラ・レモネードなど三種類くらいから選べます。帰り道、体が冷えてくる頃にはホットココアを頂きました。還暦を迎えた母も大満足のツアーでした。是非お試しあれ!

I participated on September 26th. The weather was very nice.
It was an early morning, but the guide was very energetic, so it's better to prepare yourself for not being able to sleep on the bus (I slept like a log on the way back).
We were able to see a lot of dolphins, including baby dolphins, which was incredibly moving. It was my first time seeing them up close. At first, I wasn't used to snorkeling and swimming in the ocean, and I could barely keep up with the guide, but I gradually got the hang of it.
The guide would call out things like "Look down!" so I think it would be easy to spot the dolphins when they appear.
After seeing the dolphins, we swam in another location to see turtles. That place had crystal-clear water and many tropical fish, making it very beautiful.
I was told not to touch the turtles, but since they swam towards me, I was desperately trying to avoid them. I was moved to see a turtle taking a breath at the surface right in front of me.
While moving by boat, I felt lucky to encounter a pod of dolphins.
Regarding what to bring when participating, I think it's best to take only the essentials. Since water splashes into the boat, it's a good idea to keep your belongings in a waterproof bag.
Also, I recommend taking motion sickness medication (a few people felt unwell on the way back).
Of course, meeting the dolphins was amazing, but I was really glad I participated because I got to snorkel in such beautiful waters.
9 月 26 日に参加してきました。天候もとてもよかったです。
朝早かったですが、ガイドの人がとても元気いっぱいで、行きのバスの中で寝ることはできないと考えておいたほうが良いです(帰りは爆睡でした)。
イルカはたくさん見ることができました。赤ちゃんイルカもいてすごく感動しました。あんなに近くで見たのは初めてでした。最初はシュノーケルと海で泳ぐことになれておらず、ガイドの人についていくのが精いっぱいでしたが、段々と慣れてきました。
ガイドの方が「下みて~」などの声かけをしてくれるので、イルカが出現したら見ることは簡単だと思います。
イルカを見た後に、亀を見るために別の場所で泳ぎました。その場所は水も透き通っていて、熱帯魚もたくさんいてとてもきれいでした。
亀には触れないようにと言われましたが、亀が自分の方に泳いでくるので、よけるので必死でした。海面で息継ぎをする亀を、目の前でみられて感動しました。
ボートで移動中にも、イルカの群れに遭遇できて得をした気分でした。
参加するときの荷物についてですが、必要最低限のものを持って行ったほうがいいと思います。船の中に水しぶきが入ってくるので、防水の袋に入れておいたほうがいいです。
あと、酔い止めは飲んでおいた方が良いと思います(帰りの船で数名気分が悪くなっていたので)。
イルカに会えるのももちろんですが、きれいな海でシュノーケルができたので、参加して本当に良かったと思いました。

カタマランはワイキキビーチから出航するため、アクセスがとても便利。
ポイントで停まり、海に入るとすぐ目の前に海亀と魚たちが泳ぎ廻っていました。
シュノーケリングを充分堪能し、ボートに戻ると、水とサンドイッチのサービス。
その後、ワイキキビーチ沖をクルージング。
目の見張るような海の蒼さに大感動。この値段以上の価値のあるツアーでした。
参加する際、泳ぎが苦手な方はライフジャケットを準備する必要があります。備え付けはヌードルだけでした。また、クルージングの際、風を切って走行するのでジャケット持参がお勧めです。

It was an amazing experience and a wonderful memory! From the morning pickup, the Japanese guide was waiting for us, which made us feel at ease. There is a port about a 50-minute drive from Waikiki, and we departed from there by boat! We arrived at the sandbar while seeing many sea turtles. We enjoyed taking photos and snorkeling. Since it is also a bay famous for being a movie filming location, the guide provided various explanations, which made it enjoyable. The sandwich we had on the way back on the boat was delicious too.
とても最高でいい思い出になりました!
朝のお迎えから日本のガイドの方が待っててくださり安心でした。ワイキキから50分位車で走ったところに港がありそこから船で出発! ウミガメをたくさん見ながらサンドバーに到着。写真撮影、シュノーケリングを楽しみました。映画のロケ地で有名な湾でもあるのでガイドさんが色々説明してくれて楽しめました。帰りの船の上で食べたサンドイッチも美味しかったです。

I checked the tide levels and times in advance to participate in the sandbar, and the water was about knee-deep in shallow areas. The water is clear. The wind was so strong that we couldn't set up the beach ball net on the sandbar. There are several staff members, so it's easy to get someone to take photos for you. On the day I participated, the wind was really strong, making snorkeling difficult, and there weren't many types of fish. Although we had an hour of free time, we couldn't stay in the water for that long. It was September 29, and the water temperature was quite low, so it might be better to wear a wetsuit in the future. The bus ride to and from the location was quite chilly. After snorkeling, there was a boat ride back to shore that took just under 30 minutes, and it was really cold. The men were shivering. Our boat had a cabin in the back, so we went inside to escape the wind, but most people were sitting where they first boarded and were exposed to the wind, so I recommend moving seats on the way back. The staff were cheerful and casually asked if we were okay.
サンドバーは、あらかじめ干潮時の水位と時間を調べて参加したのですが、浅いところで膝下くらいでした。水はキレイです。風が強くてサンドバーではビーチボールのネットがはれない位です。スタッフさんは数名居るので写真撮ってもらうのには困りません。参加日はとにかく風が強くてシュノーケルもやりにくいし、魚はそんなたくさん種類居ません。1時間自由時間ですが、そんな長時間ははいってられませんでした。9/29でしたが水温も結構低いので、この先はウエットスーツを着た方がいいかも。行き帰りのバスは相当冷えます。シュノーケルが終わってから岸まで船移動も30分弱有りますがすごく寒いです。男性もガタガタ震えていました。私たちの船は後方が部屋になっているので、中に入って風をしのぎましたが、大半の方は最初に乗り込んだ所の位置で、風を浴びていましたので、帰りは席移動をお勧めします。スタッフさんは明るくて困ってないか色々気さくに聞いてくれました。

Next time, I want to participate again on a sunny day.
天気は曇っていて水位も腰まであり写真で見ていたサンドバーとは少し違いましたが、スタッフの皆さんが面白く親切で楽しかったです。

I participated because I wondered if I could make it in time for low tide according to the schedule. The reviews were very positive, so my expectations might have been too high. The bus left 45 minutes after the meeting time, which made me feel distrustful of the tour due to the "island time" vibe...
The staff were friendly, and the hamburger was tastier than I expected. However, I didn't see the sandy beach as mentioned in the guidebook. The water level was at its lowest, only up to my knees.
Would I recommend it to my friends? Unfortunately, I cannot recommend it.
タイムスケジュールから、干潮の時間に間に合うかな?と思い参加しました。口コミもとても評判が良かったので期待が大きすぎたのかもしれません。バスが集合時間の45分後に出発するなど南国時間過ぎてツアーへの不信感が.....
スタッフの方はフレンドリーでしたし、ハンバーガーも想像より美味しかったです。ただし、ガイドブックにあるような砂浜は見られません。一番水位低くて膝下です。
お友達に薦めるか?と言うと残念ながらオススメはできません。
Thank you very much for participating in the tour. However, I sincerely apologize for not being able to provide you with satisfactory service.
Upon confirming with the operating company regarding this matter, I learned that the shuttle vehicle broke down on the day of the tour, which caused a delay in arranging a replacement vehicle. As a result, you had to wait for 45 minutes without any explanation about the situation, and I am truly sorry for causing you any anxiety.
Regarding the water level at the sandbar, as you had previously researched, there may be times when the beach is not visible due to the tides. I hope you can understand this.
Based on your valuable feedback, we will strive to provide even more satisfactory service in the future, so we appreciate your continued support. Thank you very much for taking the time to share your experience with us.

We left early in the morning and were able to return to the hotel by mid-morning, which allowed us to go sightseeing afterward.
From the boat, we were able to see not only sea turtles but also manta rays.
My 77-year-old mother and I didn't go snorkeling, but just enjoying the view from the boat was very pleasant.
My husband and the children, who went snorkeling, were satisfied with seeing beautiful fish.
The shuttle bus was very cold, as mentioned in the reviews, but when we asked them to turn off the air conditioning, they did.
The return bus was comfortable.
早朝出発で午前中にホテルに帰ることができたので、その後も観光に出かけることができました。
ボートからウミガメだけでなくマンタも見ることができました。
私と77歳の母はシュノーケリングをしませんでしたが、ボートの上で景色を眺めているだけでも気持ちが良かったです。
シュノーケリングをした夫と子どもたちはキレイな魚を見ることができて満足していました。
迎えのバスは、口コミであったように大変寒かったですが、途中でエアコンを止めて欲しいと頼むと止めてくれました。
帰りのバスは快適でした。

The sandbar in Hawaii is definitely a place you want to visit at least once. The weather was cloudy, and although it was March, it was a bit chilly. Once you get in the water, you get used to it, but it felt quite cold when you got back on land.
It should take about 1 hour and 30 minutes by bus from Honolulu, but it took over 2 hours due to delays from picking up other tour guests, which was tough.
That said, I was very satisfied with the tour! Especially during the sea turtle watching, we unexpectedly saw a group of manta rays, which was a surprise! The guide mentioned it was quite rare, and the manta rays appeared before the sea turtles, leaving everyone on the tour looking puzzled.
The hamburger for lunch was also very delicious! 😊
ハワイで一度は行ってみたいであろうサンドバー。当日の天気は曇りで、3月でしたが、やや肌寒かったです。いったん水に浸かれば慣れますが、また陸に上がると結構冷えました。
ホノルルからはバスで1時間30分くらいのはずですが、往路で他のツアー客のピックアップに時間がかかって2時間以上かかったのが辛かったです。。
何はともあれ、ツアーの内容は大満足!特にウミガメウォッチの時に偶然マンタの群れを見ることが出来、ビックリしました!ガイドさんもかなり珍しいと言われていたのですが、ウミガメより先にマンタが登場して、ツアー客はみんな??って顔をしてましたけど笑
昼食のハンバーガーも大変美味しく頂きました(^^)

On the morning of the day, unfortunately, it was cloudy. There was a hurricane around Oahu, and it had rained heavily the day before, so I was disappointed. However, when we arrived at the sandbar, I thought, "I'm glad I came!" Although it wasn't clear skies, by midday, the weather turned into a pleasant beach day. As expected of Hawaii. The guide mentioned, "If it hadn't rained the day before, it would have been even more beautiful," but I was more than satisfied with the experience. I want to go again on a sunny day. The crew members were all friendly and made me feel at ease.
当日朝は、あいにくの曇り空。オアフ島周辺にハリケーンがあり、前日も大雨で今回は残念‥と思っていました。
しかし、サンドバーに着いた時には「来て良かった!」と思うことができました。快晴では無かったのですが、昼近くになるとカラッとした海日和となりました。さすがハワイ。
ガイドのお姉さんは「前日の雨がなければ、もっと綺麗だよ。」とおっしゃったのですが、十分満足出来る内容でした。次は快晴の日に行きたいです。
クルーの方は皆さん気さくで安心感がありました。

I participated on September 25th!
We were blessed with good weather and encountered a large pod of dolphins multiple times.
The waves weren't too high, making it relatively easy to swim.
The experience felt like being thrown into the ocean and then swimming to chase the dolphins! So, if you're not a strong swimmer, it might be best to stick closely to the instructor (there are several in the water as well).
Even for someone like me who can swim, I felt it might be physically challenging at times.
The boat rocked quite a bit, and water splashed, so it's better to bring only things that can get wet. Don't forget motion sickness medication.
I was worried about getting seasick, but the pleasant breeze and beautiful scenery made for a comfortable boat trip.
The instructors were very lively, and the secret catchphrase (Shitamite Shitamite! Koko Shitamite~!) and dance were very memorable.
It was a tour that both adults and children could enjoy from start to finish!
It was a moment to experience the beautiful ocean that is characteristic of Hawaii.
I definitely recommend bringing a waterproof camera!
9月25日参加させていただきました!
天気にも恵まれイルカの大群に何度も出会えました。
波はそんなに高くなく、比較的泳ぎやすかったと思います。
海の中へ放り出されてイルカみつけたらそこへ泳いで追いかける!という感じなので、泳ぎが得意でない方インストラクターの方にピッタリついていた方がいいかも。
(海の中でも何名かいらっしゃいます)
泳げる私でさえ体力的に途中厳しいかも…と感じました。
船が大分揺れて水がはねるので、濡れても良い物だけをお持ちする方がいいですよ。酔い止めもお忘れなく。
船酔いが心配だった私ですが、気持ちの良い風と素敵な景色で快適な船旅でした。
インストラクターの方々は大変ノリの良い方たちで、秘密の合言葉(シタミテシタミテ!ココシタミテ〜!)やダンスはとても印象的です。
最初から最後まで大人も子供も楽しめるツアーでした!
海が綺麗なハワイらしい経験が出来たひとときです。
ぜひ防水カメラをお持ちになることをオススメします!
Thank you for participating. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Also, thank you for providing information that will be helpful to others! We look forward to your next participation!

This was my second time snorkeling, and even though I'm not good at swimming, I was able to enjoy the tour thanks to Dan and Chieko, who paid careful attention to everyone. They also lent us rescue vests, which made it easy to float while swimming, so I highly recommend this tour for those who aren't very confident in their swimming skills. Additionally, I was thrilled to encounter a sea turtle. I think it would have been difficult to see one on my own. Dan also took photos during the tour with a high-performance camera, and he uploaded them on the same day after the tour, allowing us to download them for free. So, I recommend this tour even for those who don't have an underwater camera.
シュノーケルは2回目、水泳は苦手、という私でも、DanさんChiekoさんが皆に丁寧に目を配ってくださったこともあり、ツアーを楽しむことができました。
レスキューベストも貸してくださり楽に浮いた状態で泳げるので、水泳があまり得意でない方にはぜひこのツアーをお勧めしたいです。
また、ウミガメに遭うこともでき感激でした。
自力ではウミガメに遭うことは難しかったと思います。
また、Danさんが高性能のカメラでツアー中写真を撮ってくださっており、ツアー終了後その日のうちに写真をアップしてくれ、無料でダウンロードすることができます。
なので、水中カメラがない人にもお勧めです。
Thank you for participating in the tour. It seems like you had a great time, and both Dan and I are very happy about that. I'm glad you were able to see the sea turtles! The turtles at Hanauma Bay are very cute and will stay close to us as long as we don't touch them. I'm also pleased to hear that you were able to download the photos successfully. We look forward to seeing you again when you come back to Hawaii. Thank you. Mahalo!

Very disappointing. We had to decide as soon as we got off the bus what time we wanted to be picked up - 10 AM or 12 noon. Had we known how long it would take us to actually get into the water, we would have chosen noon! We were picked up at 7 AM, got to the Bay about 7:45, had to stand in line to get tickets, wait our turn to see a required film (very good actually), and then walk about 10 minutes down to the Bay, and then stand in another line to get a locker for our bags. We did not get into the water until almost 8:45, more than an hour after we had been picked up. THEN, we find our that the snorkel/mask ensemble was so inflexible that we could not get it to work properly! The mouthpiece was too rigid, would not form a tight seal and kept pulling to one side, and my husband's snorkel actually kept coming unhooked from the mask! Had we known this, we would have bought our own equipment at the ABC store for $10 and actually been able to snorkel! As it was, we spent until 9:30 trying to get the equipment to fit, and then had to head back to the bus for the 10 AM pick-up. Had the connection between the mouthpiece and the snorkel tube been accordion-like and flexible, it would have been a lot better. If you plan to go on this trip, bring your own equipment and be prepared to not get into the water right away. The Bay is beautiful and the water was wonderful, but our experience with the inflexible pick up time and equipment was not wonderful!

My first time in Hawaii, my first time snorkeling, my first time seeing wild dolphins—everything was a first, and I participated with a mix of excitement and anxiety. A bus came to pick us up right in front of the hotel, and it was about a one-hour ride to the ocean. During that time, our energetic guide shared many fun and interesting stories about Hawaii and the ecology of dolphins. Thanks to her, my sleepy body was fully awakened, and I was getting excited about meeting the dolphins!
Before I knew it, we arrived at the ocean. We quickly boarded the boat, got ready to jump into the water, and set off! Then, we were told that there were dolphins nearby, and we all jumped into the sea! With the signal to "look down!!!", I desperately looked below, and there they were!!! I could see the dolphins swimming beneath us!!! It was breathtaking!
Soon after, more dolphins appeared! We all jumped in again, and with the signal to dive, we saw even more dolphins swimming! I even spotted some smaller dolphins. I learned that baby dolphins can be seen during this season, and they were so small and cute, which moved me once again! Just as I wanted to see more dolphins, it was almost time to leave. As we were about to depart, a large group of dolphins swam right next to our boat! It felt like they had come back to say goodbye to us!!! Everyone was so excited! The guide was also amazed and said she had goosebumps. I was so moved that I almost cried.
Still wanting to meet more dolphins, we all said "Mahalo! Aloha!" to the dolphins and moved on to the next spot to meet the turtle professor. There, we were greeted by stunning scenery. Among the many beautiful fish swimming around, there he was!!! The turtle professor!!!! Swimming gracefully at his own pace, he truly embodied the essence of a professor!!! It was so cute to see him come up for air. Then, I noticed that four turtle professors had gathered together. In the transparent blue sea, the beautiful fish and the swimming turtle professors created such a stunning sight that I found myself lost in the beauty of it all, without a single thought in my mind. It was truly a magnificent view.
The time spent with the dolphins and the turtle professor was so enjoyable that it flew by, but I was really glad to have participated. I silently promised the dolphins and the turtle professor that I would come back to see them again. It became an unforgettable memory.
初めてのハワイ、初めてのシュノーケリング、初めての野生のイルカ、すべてが初めてで、最初はドキドキと不安いっぱいで参加しました。ホテルの前までバスが迎えに来てくれて、海まで約1時間の乗車でした。その間、元気いっぱいのガイドのお姉さんが、ハワイの話や、イルカの生態についてなど、楽しくて興味のある話をたくさん聞かせてくれました。そのおかげで、早朝でちょっと眠かった体が、すっかり目覚めて、これからイルカに会えるんだー!っとテンションが上がってきました。お話に夢中になってると、あっという間に海に到着。さっそく船に乗り込み、海へ飛び込む準備を済ませ、船は出発しました!
すると、すぐに!!イルカ先生がいるとのことで、みんなで海へ飛び込みました!「下見てー!!!」の合図で、必死に下を見ていると、、、来たー!!!イルカ先生達が泳いでいる姿が下の方に見えました!!!透き通ったブルーの中で、イルカ達が泳いでいきました!!!感動でした!
そのあともすぐにイルカ先生登場!!みんなで飛び込み、下見てー!!の合図で潜ると、またまたイルカ達が泳いでいる姿が見えました!!!少し小さいイルカも見えました。この時期は赤ちゃんイルカも見られるそうなので、小さくて可愛いなと、またまた感動しました!!!もっともっとイルカ先生に会いたいと思っていると、そろそろイルカ先生の時間は終了。海を出発しようとしていた時、なんと、イルカ先生の大群が、私達の船のすぐ横を通過していきました!まるで私達にお別れの挨拶をしに戻って来てくれたかのようでした!!!みんなで大興奮!!ガイドのお姉さんも、鳥肌が立ったと驚いていました。わたしも感動して涙が出そうになりました。まだまだイルカ先生と出会いたい気持ちを残したまま、イルカ先生達にみんなで「マハロー!アロハー!」とお別れをし、次は、カメ大教授へ会いに次のスポットへ移動。そこでも、素晴らしい景色が私達を待っていました。綺麗な魚達がたくさん泳いでいる中に、いました!!!カメ大教授!!!!優雅にマイペースに泳いでいる姿は、貫禄があり、まさに大教授でした!!!水面で息継ぎをする姿がとても可愛かったです。そして気づくと、なんと、カメ大教授が4匹集まって来ていました。透き通ったブルーの海に、綺麗な魚達と、カメ大教授の泳ぐ姿、とても美しくて、何も考えずに、その海の景色だけをずっとずっと見ていました。本当に素晴らしい景色でした。
楽しすぎて、あっという間のイルカ先生とカメ大教授の授業でしたが、本当に参加して良かったです。また会いに来るねと心の中でイルカ先生とカメ大教授に誓いました。一生忘れられない思い出になりました。
Thank you for participating. We're glad you enjoyed it. We look forward to your next participation!

My sister visited me so I had to take her here to show her the sandbar. She had a great experience swimming and snorkeling. Good food is a plus.

We participated as a family. I was really looking forward to it after seeing the photos, but on that day, due to high tide, the water was up to our waists, and my 85-year-old grandmother and 1-year-old child couldn't get off the boat. Even though I had asked questions in advance, it was disappointing, as it is not a cheap tour.
The Japanese female guide was friendly and funny, and it was great to see manta rays and sea turtles.
If you are considering participating, I think it's better to check the tide conditions for that day beforehand.
家族で参加しました。
写真を見て、とても楽しみにしていたのですが、この日は満潮ということで、腰のあたりまで水があり、85歳の祖母と1歳の子供は船から降りることができませんでした。
事前に質問して問い合わせていただけに、いくら自然のこととはいえ残念な気持ちになりました。決して安いツアーではありませんので。。
ガイドの日本人女性は気さくなおもしろい方でしたし、マンタやウミガメを見られたことはよかったのですが。
参加を検討される場合は、その日の潮の状況も確認してからの方が良いと思います。

We went to Hawaii again as a couple during Silver Week. This time, I wanted to include snorkeling at Hanauma Bay, so I booked this tour. To be honest, I initially applied for the tour "Hanauma Bay with a Certified Veteran Guide," which had many reviews and experiences, but it was not available, so I chose this tour instead. Unfortunately, it rained from the morning. During snorkeling, there was heavy rain and waves, and the sand was stirred up, making it difficult to see the fish clearly. Moreover, the approximately one hour of snorkeling was cold, and I was shivering after getting back on land.
However, I can't go against nature, so I hope to try again on a sunny day next time. I have snorkeled at several places in Honolulu, but when it comes to seeing fish, it can't compare to Guam, Saipan, or Southeast Asia's Cebu and Phuket.
Nonetheless, I think the tour was very good because the guide explained everything earnestly and assisted us well. Another highlight was that we unexpectedly got to see a honu (sea turtle).
シルバーウィークに夫婦でまたハワイに行ってきました。今回は念願のハナウマ湾のシュノーケリングを入れたかったのでこのツアーを予約しました。正直に言いまして、最初は評価も体験談も多い、「公認ベテランガイドといくハナウマ湾」のツアーを申し込みましたがリクエストNGでしたので、このツアーにしました。当時は、あいにく朝から雨。シュノーケリングの時も大雨で波もあり、砂が舞い上がっており、きれいに魚は見えませんでした。しかも約1時間のシュノーケリングは寒く、陸に上がった後は寒さで震えていました。
でも自然には逆らえないので、今度は晴れた時に再チャレンジできたらと思います。
ホノルルでは何か所かでシュノーケリングしましたが、やはり魚を見るならば、グァム、サイパンや東南アジアのセブ島やプーケットなどには かないませんね。
でもガイドさんが一生懸命説明してアシストしてくださり、ツアーとしてはとてもよかったと思います。
また期待していなかったホヌと会えたのがよかったポイントです。
Thank you for joining our tour. We apologize for the tour taking place in the rain. Recently, Hawaii has had a lot of rain... But we are glad we could show you the turtles!! We look forward to seeing you again when you visit Hawaii. Thank you. Mahalo!
この度は私達のツアーにご参加いただき、ありがとうございます。残念ながら雨の中でのツアーとなり、申し訳ありませんでした。最近ハワイは雨が多いのです、、、。
でもカメをお見せ出来てよかったです!!
ぜひまたハワイにお越しの際にはお会いできますことを楽しみにしています。ありがとうございました。Mahalo!

The day of the Heaven's Sea tour unfortunately had cloudy skies and rain, which made it cold. It was disappointing that the water's blue color was dulled due to the clouds. However, I was able to see sea turtles and enjoyed snorkeling in the coral reef, so I guess it was still a good experience overall.
天国の海ツアーの日だけが生憎の曇天~雨模様で
寒かったです。曇りのせいで水の青さがくすんでたのが残念でした。ただ海亀も見れたし珊瑚礁でのシュノーケルも楽しんだのでまぁいいかって感じですね。

I participated in the BBQ lunch (which is a hamburger lunch) ^^ At the sandbar, the water was up to my waist. If you want to experience shallower water, it seems that going early with breakfast included is a good option. That said, it probably depends on the weather and the season... On this day, I wasn't feeling well, so I waited on the boat, but my family seemed to be having a great time ^^ Even though I was waiting on the boat, the scenery was lovely, and the staff were cheerful and friendly. I was able to spend a fun time talking with little kids and people from abroad. The hamburger for lunch was made with meat cooked in a Dutch oven, and it was juicy and delicious ^^ I also got to see a lot of sea turtles, which were adorable. On the way back, you can change clothes on the boat, so I think it would be convenient to have a cape that you can easily put on or take off. You can also change at the restroom after getting off the boat, but since there was a line for women, it might be easier to change early. I plan to participate again next time and try getting down to the sandbar or snorkeling with the sea turtles!
BBQランチ(=ハンバーガーランチ)付きに参加しました^^ サンドバーでは腰ほどまで水がありました。もっと浅いのを体験したければ朝食付きの早い時間方法が良いみたいですね。といっても、天候や季節によると思いますが。。私はこの日に限って体調が悪かったのでボートで待機していましたが、家族は楽しそうにしていました^^ボートで待機といっても、景色も素敵だし、スタッフさん達も明るく気さくでしたし、ちっちゃいおこちゃまや外国の方と話したり楽しい時間を過ごせました。お昼のハンバーガーもダッチオーブンで焼いてくれたお肉で、ジューシーで美味しかったです^^ウミガメも沢山見れて可愛かったです。帰り、着替えはボートの上で出来るので、すっぽりか被れるケープのようなのがあると便利かと思います。ボート降りてトイレでも着替えられますが、女性は並んでいたので早めに着替えちゃった方が楽かもです。次回も参加して今度はサンドバーに降りたり、シュノーケルでウミガメと泳いだりしようと思います!

The pickup was on time, so there was no need to worry. We encountered a pod of dolphins and were able to swim with them for a long time. I think the sea was relatively calm, but there were many people who got seasick. Even if you think you'll be fine, motion sickness medication might be essential. Also, your belongings will definitely get wet. Therefore, your change of clothes and towels will also get wet. I recommend either using a waterproof bag or carrying a large vinyl bag that can hold your bag.
迎えは時間通りで、不安になることはありませんでした。
イルカの群れに遭い、ずっといっしょに泳ぐことができました。
比較的、穏やかな海だったと思うのですが、酔っている方がたくさんいました。
大丈夫だと思っても酔い止め薬は必須かもしれません。
それから、荷物は必ず濡れます。
ですから、着替えやバスタオルも濡れます。
防水加工がしてあるバッグにまとめるか、バッグを入れることのできる大きめのビニル袋の携帯をオススメします。
Thank you for participating. I'm glad you enjoyed it. We look forward to your next participation!
ご参加頂きましてありがとうございました。お楽しみ頂けて何よりです。またのご参加をお待ちしております!

Our first family trip to Hawaii. I had always wanted to visit Angel's Beach. I was surprised by the number of Japanese people at the meeting point. It was a good decision to take motion sickness medication before getting on the boat to avoid feeling seasick. When we arrived at Angel's Beach, the water was about knee-deep, but it was crystal clear and very beautiful. The hamburgers afterward were delicious, and my child enjoyed snorkeling for the first time in their life.
初めての家族でのハワイ旅行。天使の海は絶対行きたいと思っていた場所でした。集合場所について日本人の多さにまずびっくり。ボートに乗って揺られる中酔わないように酔い止めを飲んでおいたのは正解でした。天使の海につくと膝の高さくらいの水でしたが、透き通っていてとてもきれいでした。そのあとのハンバーガーもおいしく、子供は人生初のシュノーケリングを楽しんでいました。
