All Reviews for Snorkeling Cruises & Tours

I participated in the sandbar this time!
To put it simply, I was very moved!
Experiencing nature up close is truly beautiful!
Standing in the middle of the ocean was a very precious experience!
Just being on the beach is beautiful, but with the clear sea and the sparkling blue sky, standing in the middle of the ocean made both the sky and sea feel vast, and the clouds felt really close!
There was also a Japanese guide, and some people were so good at swimming that it gave me a sense of security.
The bus guide on the way was very cheerful and made us laugh, which was entertaining.
The Japanese female guide on the boat also made us laugh and took commemorative photos for us.
The bus guide sang "Last Christmas" while playing the guitar on the neighboring boat, and listening to the music while eating freshly made hamburgers in the middle of the vast ocean was the best!!
If there are extras, you can also get double burgers or refills.
We even got to see a sea turtle swimming by, and my husband really enjoyed snorkeling!
It’s said that you can see an astonishing number of fish and coral! I was so moved!! (I couldn’t do it because I’m not good with deep water, but I still had fun! The sandbar is shallow, so I could go in!)
I’m saying that I definitely want to participate again when I go to Hawaii!
However, it gets cold on the boat after getting in the water, so a windbreaker would be good, and having a waterproof camera, even a simple one, might make it even more enjoyable!
If you’re hesitating, it might be a good idea to participate! There are things you won’t understand until you experience them.

今回サンドバーに参加させて頂きました！
結論から言うと、とても感動しました！
生で体感する大自然は本当に美しいんだなと思いました！
海のど真ん中に立つのはとても貴重な体験でした！
ただビーチに居るだけでも美しいのに、あの透明の海に、キラキラのブルーの空、海の真ん中に立つと空も海も広く、雲も本当に近く感じました！
そして、日本人のガイドさんも居て、とても同じ人間とは思えないほど泳ぎの上手い方もいて安心感もありました。
そして、行きのバスガイドさんもとても陽気で笑わせてくれて面白かったです。
船に乗ってからの日本人の女性ガイドさんも笑わせてくれ、記念写真も撮って頂きました。
バスガイドさんが、隣りの船でラストクリスマスなどを弾き語りで歌ってくれて、広い海の真ん中で焼き立てのハンバーガーを食べながら弾き語りを聞くのは最高でした！！
余っていれば、ダブルバーガーやおかわりをさせて貰える事も。
海亀のチラッと泳いでいる所も見れましたし、シュノーケリングも主人はとても楽しんでいました！
本当に驚く程お魚や珊瑚が見れるそうですよ！感動していました！！（私は深い所は苦手なので出来ませんでしたが、それでも楽しめました！サンドバーは浅いので入れました！）
またハワイに行ったら絶対参加したい！と言っている程です！
ただ海に入った後船の上が寒いのでウィンドブレーカーを、それと簡単な物でも防水カメラなどもあると、より楽しめるかもしれません！
迷っている方は参加してみると良いかもしれません！
体験してみないと分からない事はありますからね。

A traditional 10-day trip for two girls, meeting and parting at the same place. This time, we met in Honolulu and went to the Big Island, then returned to Honolulu.
"The Angel's Sea Sandbar!" The name itself is so feminine! We were able to see sea turtles popping their heads out and swimming several times from the boat. We walked on the transparent emerald green sandbar and snorkeled where the sea turned a dark green, swimming with the fish. The guide explained the safety instructions thoroughly, so we felt secure while snorkeling.
The guide and the captain were funny people, and we had a great time filled with laughter.

恒例の現地集合現地解散１０日間の女子2人旅。今回はホノルルで待ち合わせをしてハワイ島へ行きその後ホノルルに。
「天使の海サンドバー！」ネーミングからして女子力高い！ウミガメが頭を出している所や泳いでいる所をボートから何回も見る事が出来ました。透き通るエメラルドグリーンのサンドバーを歩き、ダークグリーンに海の色が変わった所でのシュノーケリングで魚と一緒に泳いだり。ガイドさんが注意事項をしっかりと説明してくれたので安心してシュノーケリングできました。
ガイドさんや船長さんが面白い人で笑いが絶えず楽しい時間でした。

Although it was drizzling and the water temperature was low, the staff were all cheerful and kind, which made me feel the essence of Hawaii! The sandbar had water up to my waist, but it wasn't a concern due to the seasonal conditions. In fact, I felt more connected to the strange sensation of being able to stand in such deep water. We also saw many sea turtles. The hamburger was simple but very delicious. One piece of advice: depending on the season, it can be cold after getting out of the water while still wet, so it's good to have a change of clothes and a bath towel. There are no changing rooms, so you change while wrapped in a bath towel. We brought a bath towel with a rubber loop at the top, which I think was a good choice. (Some people without a change of clothes looked like they were shivering and feeling unwell.) I would love to participate again on a sunny day!

小雨が舞い、水温も低くあまり良いコンディションではありませんでしたが、スタッフさんは皆元気よく優しくて、ハワイらしさを感じられました！サンドバーも、腰までつかる水位でしたが、季節の問題なので気にならず。むしろ、こんなに沖で、足がつく不思議な感覚をより実感できた気がします。ウミガメさんもたくさん見れました。ハンバーガーも、シンプルでとても美味しかったです。アドバイスがあるとすれば、季節によっては海から上がって濡れたままだと寒いので、着替えとバスタオルがあると良いです。更衣室はないので、バスタオルを巻いて着替える感じです。私たちは、上部がゴムで輪っかになったバスタオルを持参しました。正解だったと思います。（着替えがない方の中には震えて具合が悪そうな方もいました）
また晴天の際に参加したいです！

I participated in a tour to swim with dolphins for the first time in Hawaii. Despite it being early in the morning, they provided a proper wake-up call at the hotel, confirmed the pickup time and location, and explained that renting a wetsuit would incur an additional cost due to the low water temperature in winter, advising us to bring cash or a credit card for that purpose. This left a very good impression on me.

The bus that picked us up was not a van, but a proper large bus with a very clean interior, which reassured me before the tour even began. On the way to the harbor, they provided detailed explanations about the swimming techniques we needed to follow to meet wild dolphins, allowing us to participate in the tour without any anxiety.

Upon arriving at the harbor, we put on our wetsuits and boarded the boat, setting off to meet the wild dolphins! Onboard, there was a tour guide who spoke Japanese, a professional photographer, a lifeguard who was also a hula dancer, and the captain. Everyone was cheerful and entertained us by playing music and dancing, making the time on the boat enjoyable as we headed to the dolphin spot.

When the captain anchored the boat at the dolphin location, we finally got to swim with the wild dolphins! The crew guided us to where the dolphins were, and when we dove in, we were amazed to see dozens of dolphins swimming gracefully so close that we could almost reach out and touch them. It was my first time seeing wild dolphins up close, and I was truly moved!

After the dolphins swam away from where we were, we returned to the boat and headed to a spot for snorkeling! We had about 40 minutes of free time, and we could either snorkel or use the paddleboards and kayaks that the crew provided. My husband and I enjoyed snorkeling, and while watching tropical fish, we spotted a sea turtle that the crew had mentioned we might be lucky enough to see! The sea turtle swam gracefully close enough that we could almost reach out to it, which was incredible!

When we returned to the boat, the crew had grilled Hawaiian cheeseburgers waiting for us, and we enjoyed them while watching a hula dance performance. Surrounded by the beautiful nature of mountains and the sea, having met dolphins and sea turtles, and enjoying lunch while watching hula dancing on the boat made for a luxurious tour experience. I was very satisfied, and above all, the kind and cheerful staff made the tour even more enjoyable. It was truly a tour worth participating in! If you want to swim with dolphins when you visit Oahu, I highly recommend "Dolphin & You"!

今回ハワイで初めてイルカと泳ぐツアーに参加しました。
早朝にも関わらず、ホテルにきちんとモーニングコールをしてきて下さり、ピックアップ時間や場所の最終確認、そして冬でかなり水温が低い事からウェットスーツをレンタルする場合にはお金が掛かるので、借りる場合はその分の現金もしくはクレジットカードを持参した方がいい旨なども事前に説明して下さったことからとても好印象を受けました。
迎えに来たバスはバンではなく、きちんとした大きなバスで内装もとても綺麗でツアーが始まる前から安心しました。
バスで港に向かうまでの間に野生のイルカに会う上で守らなければならない海の中での泳ぎ方等についても詳しく説明して下さり、不安なくツアーに参加できました。
港に着いて、ウェットスーツなどを着用してから船に乗り込みいよいよ野生のイルカに会いに出発！
船上には日本語ができるツアーガイド、プロのカメラマン、プロのライフセーバー兼フラダンサー、キャプテンがいたのですがとにかく皆さん陽気で私達を楽しませてくれる為に音楽を掛けてダンスをしたりしてくれたり、イルカに会えるスポットに行くまでの間退屈することなく船上で楽しい時間を過ごせました。
キャプテンがイルカがいるスポットに船を停泊させて、いよいよ野生のイルカと泳ぎに海へ！
クルーがイルカのいるところまで泳いで案内してくれて潜ってみると手を伸ばせば届くのでは⁉︎という近さで何十頭ものイルカが優雅に泳いでおり、人生で初めて野生のイルカを間近で肉眼で見る事ができ、ほんとに感動しました！
イルカの群れが私達がいた箇所を離れていってから船の上に戻り、次はシュノーケリングを楽しめるスポットへ！
こちらでは40分程の自由時間をもらえて、シュノーケリングをするもよし！
クルーの方がパドルボートとカヤックも用意してくれるのでこちらをやるもよし！
私と夫はシュノーケリングを楽しみ、熱帯魚を見ていたらクルーの方が「ラッキーだと海亀に会えるかも！」と言っていた海亀を発見！
海亀も手を伸ばせば届くのでは⁉︎というぐらい近くを優雅に泳いでくれて感動しました！
船上に帰るとクルーがハワイアンチーズバーガーをグリル機で焼いて待っていてくれて、フラダンサーの踊りを鑑賞しながらチーズバーガーを頬張りました。
周りを見れば大自然の山と海！
イルカや海亀にも会えて、船上でフラダンスを見ながらのランチ！贅沢なツアー内容に大満足ですし、何より親切で明るいスタッフの方々がツアーを更に盛り上げて下さり本当に参加した価値のあったツアーでした！
オアフ島に行った際にイルカと泳ぎたいなら『Dolphin&you』オススメです！

The staff were very friendly, and I was able to have a great time throughout. I encountered a pod of dolphins several times, and during snorkeling, I was able to see a sea turtle up close, even touching it.

スタッフの方はとても親切で終始楽しく過ごすことができました。
イルカの群れにも数回遭遇でき、またシュノーケル時はウミガメを触れるくらいの近さで見ることができました。

I participated because the low tide at the sandbar matched my travel schedule. The water depth was about calf-deep, which I thought was great. After walking on the sandbar and taking photos, those who wanted to went snorkeling. Unlike snorkeling in areas close to the shore, it was a bit of a unique experience.

サンドバーの干潮時期と旅行日程が合ったので参加しました。
水深は、ふくらはぎ程度でしたので良かったと思います。
サンドバーの上を歩いて写真撮影等をした後で、希望者のみシュノーケリングをしました。
岸に近い場所でのシュノーケリングとは違い、ちょっと変わった体験ができました。

The visibility was good, and the waves were calm. Additionally, it seemed like we had great conditions as we spotted dolphins right after departing. However, I only saw them swimming during the first dive, and I just caught a glimpse of two in the distance. During the second dive, I didn’t see them swimming at all; I only saw them flying above the surface in the distance.

So, I can say I did see dolphins, and I thought, "It can't be helped. I'll try again someday." But when I looked at the photos I purchased, there were so many dolphins swimming... I felt down realizing that some people got to see such wonderful dolphin sightings that day while I did not. I’m good at swimming and thought I was desperately searching with my face in the water, but perhaps it was just a matter of timing...

I wanted to try again since I didn’t get to see them, but the third dive was in an area with sea turtles and tropical fish. I was happy to see the sea turtles, but I wanted to swim with the dolphins, so I wished I could have tried again at a different spot. It seemed there were others who reported not seeing them during the second dive as well...

I want to achieve my dream of swimming with dolphins, so I would like to go back to Hawaii, but next time I want to join a tour that focuses solely on dolphins.

透明度もよく、波も余りたっておらず、
さらに出港後すぐにイルカを発見という好条件だったようですが、
泳いでる姿を見れたのは1回目のみ、2頭を遠くにみただけでした。
2回目のダイブは泳いでる姿はみれず、水面を飛んでる？姿を遠くにみただけ。

イルカが見れたかといえば見れたので
「仕方ない。またいつかリベンジしよう」と思ってましたが
購入した写真をみるとたくさんのイルカが泳いている姿・・・
あの日こんなにも素晴らしいイルカの姿を見れた人と見入れない人がいるのかと落ち込みました。
泳ぎも得意ですし、海に顔をつけ必死に探しまわったつもりですが、
タイミングなのでしょうか・・・

見れないので再チャレンジしたかったけど、
3回目はウミガメや熱帯魚のエリアでした。
ウミガメは嬉しかったけど、イルカと泳ぎたかったので別のスポットで再チャレンジさせてもらいたかったです。
2回目見れないと申告した方もいたようですし・・・

イルカと泳ぐ夢を達成したいのでまたハワイに行きたいですが、
次回はイルカだけのツアーに参加したいと思いました。

I participated with great expectations, having gone to bed early the night before and being fully prepared, knowing that I could go snorkeling while watching wild dolphins. We boarded the dolphin-numbered bus and traveled for about an hour to the port, where the guide was very entertaining. Listening to their stories made the time fly, and we arrived at the port in no time. It was mentioned in advance on the bus, but I think wearing a wetsuit is essential. Everyone in the group was wearing one. Once we entered the water and returned to the boat, it was quite cold even with the wetsuit on. There were several sizes of wetsuits available, and they asked for our preferences in advance, so it fit perfectly.

Upon arriving at the port, I first went to the restroom, then put on my wetsuit and boarded the boat. Once we were out at sea, we were able to see a seal first. There was just one, but it was very cute. Then, we finally reached the dolphin point. I was deeply moved to see a pod of dolphins right in front of me. There were probably around 100 of them, surrounding us on all sides. Among the dolphins, there were also baby dolphins.

That wasn't all. We moved to another point and were able to see sea turtles as well. On the way back to the port after snorkeling, the spam onigiri served on the boat was very delicious. I wanted to eat another one. The guide had said in advance, "Dolphin school is strict, so make sure to keep up," but it was not like that at all; the atmosphere was enjoyable throughout, and I had a valuable experience that became the highlight of my trip to Hawaii.

野生のイルカを見ながらシュノーケリングができるとあって、大きな期待を胸に前日は早めに就寝し準備万端で参加させていただきました。イルカナンバーのバスに乗り込み港まで約1時間移動するのですが、ガイドさんがとても面白い方で、話を楽しく聞いているとあっという間に港に到着しました。バスの中で事前に案内されていましたがウエットスーツは必須だと思います。参加者全員着用していました。海に入りボートに戻るとウエットスーツを着ていても相当寒かったです。ウエットスーツは幾つかサイズがあり事前に希望を聞いて用意してくれるのでジャストフィットです。
港に着くとまずトイレに行き、その後ウエットスーツを着て船に乗り込みます。
海に出てから、最初にアザラシを見ることができました。一頭でしたがとてもかわいかったです。そして、いよいよイルカポイントです。イルカの群れを目の前で見ることができとても感動しました。たぶん、100頭はいたと思います。前後左右イルカだらけです。イルカの群れの中には赤ちゃんイルカもいました。
それだけではありません。別のポイントに移動しウミガメも見ることができました。
シュノーケリングが終了し港に戻る途中、ボートで出されたスパムおにぎりはとてもおいしかったです。もう一つ食べたかった。
事前にガイドさんが「イルカ中学はスパルタなのでちゃんとついて来てね」と言ってましたが、特にそんなこともなく終始楽しい雰囲気で貴重な経験ができ大満足で今回のハワイ旅行の一番の思い出になりました。

I participated with my mother, who is in her 60s and cannot swim. She was worried about whether it would be okay since she can't swim, but as long as you don't snorkel, it's not a problem at all. You can wait on the boat or play in shallow areas. However, when getting off the boat, it is quite deep, so I think it might be surprising at first. After that, it's shallow, so as long as you pay attention when getting off, I don't think there will be any issues.

Unfortunately, the weather was cloudy and rainy, which was disappointing, but the cruise staff were very nice. When you see a turtle, they will point out the direction, saying something like "Turtle at 3 o'clock!" I would like to try again on a sunny day.

泳げない60代の母親と2人で参加しました。泳げないので大丈夫か母親が心配していましたが、シュノーケルをしなければ、全然問題ないです。船で待つこともできますし、浅いところで遊ぶこともできます。ただ、船から降りるときはとても深いので、最初びっくりすると思います。その先は浅いので、降りるときだけ注意していれば問題ないと思います。
お天気があいにく曇りと雨で残念でしたが、クルーズのスタッフの方もとてもいいかたでした。亀が見えると、かめー3時とか亀がいる方向を教えてくれますよ♪お天気がいいときに再チャレンジしたいです。

We had an amazing time on our Dolphin tour. Staff were friendly and knowledgable. Loved that it was a small group, and we were able to swim with the Spinner Dolphins and Sea turtles. Also lucky enough to see Bottle Nose Dolphins and Humpback whales too. Only downside was getting a bit sea sick. The staff looked after my phone while I fed the fish and took a great selfie

My wife and I went to this adventure hoping to have a great time and see some fish here and there while snorkeling but these guys got us a great tour and we saw a ton of fish near the coral reef where they took us. The staff is super friendly and fun plus. The food was right on point and we loved they even gave us some hot chocolate after the swim to warm us up a bit.
Jenner and the captain are super friendly, I would love to go back and see them again when I go back to Hawaii.

It's been about a month since I returned from Hawaii, and it has become my best memory. The instructor and the couple in my group were very friendly and it was a lot of fun! I encountered fish, turtles, and eels, and I even got some beautiful photos taken! The downloaded photos turned out really well, and I've been showing them off to everyone since I got back. If I have the chance, I would definitely like to participate again, and I would recommend it to everyone. Thank you for everything!

ハワイから帰ってきて約１ケ月経ちましたが、一番の思い出になっています。
インストラクターの方も、一緒のグループのご夫妻もとても気さくで楽しかったです！魚も亀にもウツボにも出会え、しかも綺麗な写真も撮っていただきました！
ダウンロードした写真は本当に綺麗に撮れており、帰ってからみんなに見せて自慢しています。
また機会あれば是非参加したいと思いますし、皆さんにおすすめしたいです。
いろいろありがとうございました！

I participated at the end of November. Despite the unfortunate weather, it became a fun memory. I attended with my 2-year-old daughter, and I am truly, truly grateful for the kindness of the staff. The lunch hamburger was delicious, and I was also happy to have a warm drink after snorkeling. We even saw sea turtles! I made a wish too, haha. I want to participate again!! Hawaii is the best!

11月末に参加させて頂きました。あいにくの天候でしたが、楽しい思い出になりました。2歳の娘との、
参加でしたが、スタッフの方々のお心遣いに本当に本当に感謝です。ランチのハンバーガーも美味しかったですしシュノーケルの後の温かい飲み物も嬉しかったです♡
海ガメも見れました♡お願い事もしました笑
また参加したいです！！ハワイ最高です♡♡

I participated in a sandbar tour. The weather was bad, but I was able to enjoy the sandbar and snorkeling. Also, the BBQ hamburger for lunch was delicious.

サンドバーツアーに参加しました。天気が悪かったですが、サンドーバーやシュノーケルを満喫できました。また、ランチのBBQハンバーガーが美味しかったです。

The team was absolute pro, and knew how to take care of us.
Would definitely recommend them to all my friends.

The tour was quite cold due to the cloudy weather. Everyone on the tour was Japanese. There was one Japanese guide and a few locals from Hawaii. The Japanese guide mainly led the tour. During the sea turtle watching, we were able to see several sea turtles. After the photo session at the sandbar, we went snorkeling. It was cold! (laughs) Since we were snorkeling in a large group, honestly, we couldn't see anything due to the sand. I had imagined beautiful fish and coral, but unfortunately, that wasn't the case. A light meal of sandwiches and chips, along with warm drinks, was also provided. I hope to go on a nice weather day next time!

曇りだったため、とても寒い中でのツアーになりました。ツアーは全員日本人。ガイドさんはひとり日本人で、あと数名ハワイの方がいました。主に日本人ガイドが案内をしてくれます。ウミガメウォッチングでは、何匹ものウミガメがみれました。サンドバーでの写真撮影時間を終え、スノーケルへ。寒かった！（笑）多くの人数で連なってスノーケルするので、正直砂ぼこりでなにも見えませんでした。綺麗な魚と珊瑚を想像していましたが、残念。軽食はサンドイッチとチップス、温かい飲み物も用意されていました。今度は天気のいい日に行けたらいいなー！

Fantastic trip! Great staff. Will be doing it again next time we visit!

Our accommodation was at Hilton Hawaiian Village, but the pickup was at Ilikai Hotel (meeting at 9 AM). I was surprised to find that the pickup vehicle was a large bus instead of a van. I understood why the meeting point was in front of Ilikai Hotel, as it must be difficult to enter the narrow pickup area at Hilton. After that, we stopped at several hotels, and by the time we headed to the port, the bus was almost full. We arrived at the port in about an hour. After that, we took a boat to the sandbar. Since it wasn't low tide, even in shallow areas, the water depth was up to my knees, but the scenery was beautiful. We then had lunch with hamburgers topped with grilled patties on the boat, moved to a spot where sea turtles frequently appear for turtle watching from the boat, and then went to a large coral reef for snorkeling. Here, we were able to see many fish and turtles. However, I think the coral and sea in Ishigaki Island, where I go diving every year, might be prettier (though it probably depends on the day's conditions). After returning to the port, we switched to a bus and went back to the hotel (we returned to the hotel around 3 PM). When we got off the boat, the Japanese guide asked for a tip, which made me wonder if it wasn't included in the tour fee. There are tours on Veltra that include tips, so it might be a good idea for everyone to check.

宿泊先がヒルトンハワイアンビレッジでしたが、ピックアップはイリカイホテルでした。（9時に集合）迎えの車をワゴン車だと思っていたら、大型バスでびっくり。ヒルトンの狭い送迎場所に入りにくいのだろうなと、集合場所がイリカイホテル前だったことを納得しました。その後、数ヵ所のホテルに寄り、港に向かう時にはバスがほぼ満席になっていました。港には1時間程度で到着。その後、船でサンドバーへ。サンドバーは、干潮でなかったため、膝程度まで浅いところでも水深がありましたが、きれいな景色が広がっていました。その後、船上で焼き上げたパテをのせたハンバーガーの昼食、ウミガメがよく出没するポイントに移動して船上からのウミガメ見学、大きなサンゴ礁に移動してシュノーケルを行いました。ここでは、たくさんの魚や亀を見ることができました。ただ、毎年ダイビングに行く石垣島のほうが珊瑚や海はきれいかな。（その日のコンディションにもよるのでしょうが）その後、港にもどり、バスに乗り換え、ホテルに戻りました。（ホテルに戻ったのが15時くらい）船を降りるときに、日本人のガイドにチップを求められた時は、ツアー料金に含まれていないの？と疑問が沸いて来ましたので、同じveltraのツアーでチップ込のツアーもあったりしますので、皆さん確認はされたほうがいいかもしれません。

I made a reservation for a "Cruise & Sea" experience to help my husband, who has never been to Hawaii, fall in love with it. The weather was quite changeable, but during lunch and the timing at the sandbar, it cleared up beautifully, and it felt wonderful. We even saw sea turtles!

I didn't go snorkeling; instead, I relaxed on the boat, enjoying the scenery and reading, which was also nice. My husband was enjoying the beautiful views on the Angel's Sea Cruise as well!

When we went from the boat to the sandbar, we had to swim a little in the water, and I thought it would have been better if we could have just stepped onto the sand directly. (I guess it might not be possible because it's a large boat.)

ハワイは行ったことがないという主人に、ハワイを大好きになってもらいたくて、「クルーズ・海」で、ハワイを堪能してもらいたくて、予約しました。
天候はコロコロと変動がありましたが、ランチ、サンドバーのタイミングには、ぱーっと晴れて、とても気持ちが良かったです。ウミガメも見れました！
私は、シュノーケリングはせずに、船の上でのんびり景色をみたり、読書をしたりして、過ごしましたが、それもまた良かったです。
主人も、きれいだねと、天使の海クルーズを堪能していました！
船からサンドバーに行く時に、海の中を少し泳いでいかないといけなかっったので、そのまま砂の上に降りれたらもっとよかったなぁって思います。（大きな船なので無理なのかと思いますが。）

Exploring the sandbar was easy when the seabed was sandy, but when we got closer to the rocky areas, it was painful on the soles of our feet, and everyone let out little screams. However, wandering underwater was fun. I can't swim at all, and while I didn't snorkel, the participants who dove were all excited about the beautiful sea. It's a shame I couldn't see it! But for those who couldn't dive (like me and a grandmother with small children), we were able to take a sightseeing tour around the area on a motorboat. The crew only spoke English, but chatting with them was enjoyable. The Japanese-speaking guide was also interesting, and the meal exceeded my expectations. Those who dove seemed to get hungry, as they even went back for seconds. Next time, I hope to be able to swim a bit better and challenge myself to try snorkeling again.

サンドバーの散策は砂場状の海底の時は未だ歩きやすいのですが、岩に近い海底面の時は足裏が痛くて皆んなチョット悲鳴をあげたり、海中の散策が面白かったです。全く泳げないのですが、シュノーケリングの時はしませんでしたが、潜った参加者の方々は皆さん楽しいんで綺麗な海の様子に興奮気味でした。見れなくて残念！でも、潜れない人(私と小さいお子様連れのおばあさん)には、モータボートで周りを観光させてくださいました。英語しか喋れないクルーでしたが、お喋りがたのしかったです。日本語でのガイドさんんもおもしろく、食事も結構期待以上の内容でした。潜った人達はやはりお腹が空くのかお代わりまでしていましたよ。次回は少し泳げるようになって、シュノーケリングにチャレンジできるよう、又利用しようと思います。

We wanted to do something fun while my dad was visiting for his and my daughter's birthday. Great trip! The guys were funny and knowledgeable. We saw dolphin right as we sat out on the trip. Snorkeling spot was great and clear blue seas. We hope to do it again!

In December, the weather was nice, but there was a bit of a chilly impression from the start. Once we boarded the boat and set off, we encountered wild dolphins early on, and we all got into the sea to wait for the dolphins to come closer. After a while, we were thrilled to see the dolphins jumping and spinning in the air nearby! However, it seems that usually, the dolphins come quite close, so timing is important. The seawater was cold, and as someone who is sensitive to the cold, I ended up sitting out for a bit, but I was satisfied to see the wild dolphins up close! Also, personally, the staff were very cheerful and made the atmosphere lively, so just being there was enjoyable! There was also a professional hula dancer, and doing hula dance together at the end was a valuable experience. However, although it was advertised as a boat BBQ, what was served was a hamburger, which raised some questions (the hamburger itself was delicious, though). Overall, it was an experience that you can't have in Japan, so I recommend it! For those sensitive to the cold, even in Hawaii, the seawater in December was chilly, so participating in a warmer season would allow for maximum enjoyment.

12月ということで、天気は良かったのですが、少し肌寒い印象が最初からありました。
船に乗って出発すると、早い段階で野生のイルカに出会うことが出来、みんなで海に入り、イルカが近づいてくるのを待ちました。
しばらくすると近くでイルカ達がジャンプしたり、空中でくるくると回っている様子を見られて感激しました！
ただ、普段だと、かなり間近までイルカが近づいてきてくれることもあるようで、タイミングがあるみたいですね。
海水が冷たく、冷え性の私はこの辺りでダウンしてしましたが、野生のイルカを近くで見ることが出来、満足です！
あと、個人的にはスタッフの方がとっても陽気に場を盛り上げてくれたので、その場にいるだけで楽しめました！プロのフラダンサーさんもいて、最後にみんなでフラダンスをしたのも貴重な体験です。
ただ、船上BBQ付とのことでしたが、提供されたのはハンバーガーだったので、これは疑問です（ハンバーガー自体は美味しかったですよ）
総合的には、日本では出来ない体験が出来たので、オススメです！
冷え性の方はハワイとはいえ１２月の海水は寒かったので、温かいシーズンに参加すると、目一杯楽しめると思います。

We encountered dolphins right after we set off. Once we entered the water, we came across a huge number of dolphins swimming so close that we could almost reach out and touch them. The last time I participated, the visibility wasn't very good, and while there were dolphins, I couldn't see them clearly. This time, there were so many dolphins, and the visibility was great, so I was very satisfied. The second snorkeling spot had few corals and fish, making it a bit underwhelming for snorkeling.

However, since the main attraction was the dolphins, I was overall very satisfied. The staff was very friendly, and since I had children with me, they were great at engaging with them. It was a very enjoyable tour! I would love to participate again.

出発してすぐにイルカに出会えました。海に入るとすごい数のイルカの群れに何度も遭遇して、手が届きそうなぐらい近くを泳いでいました。前回参加したときは透明度があまりよくなく、イルカがいたのですがあまりはっきり見れなかったのですが、今回は数もすごかったし透明度もよく大満足でした。2か所めのポイントはサンゴも魚も少なく、シュノーケルするには微妙な感じでした。
でもメインがイルカなので総合的に大満足です。スタッフもとてもフレンドリーで、子供連れだったのですが、よく子供の相手もしてくれました。とても楽しいツアーでした!!また参加したいです。

This year, the rainy season started early, so the water level at the sandbar was higher, which was a bit disappointing! We were able to see sea turtles, but it really depended on the weather. Since the staff member was Japanese, I felt at ease and was able to participate in the tour.

今年は、雨季が早かったため、サンドバーの海水の高さも高く少し残念でした‼︎
海亀も観れましたが、天気次第かなって感じでしたo(TωT)o
スタッフのお姉さんが日本人だったので、安心して、ツアーには参加できました☆

I'm glad the guide was energetic. The sandwich didn't look appetizing, but it was delicious. I was lucky to see sea turtles swimming. It was raining when we departed, but it was sunny when we arrived. I was lucky.

ガイドが元気で良かった。サンドイッチは、見た目は美味しそうに見えなかったが、美味しかった。海亀が泳いでいるのが、見えた。運が良い。出発する時は、☔️だったが、着いた時は、☀️ていた。運が良い。

I participated for the first time at the strong recommendation of a junior colleague. I was lucky with the weather, but the water temperature was surprisingly low, not quite what you would expect from a southern island's sea. The water level at the sandbar was about knee-deep, so it didn't feel like a floating island. My wife, who participated last year, mentioned that the water level was up to her waist, so perhaps this year was still better.

For lunch, it wasn't the BBQ I had imagined; instead, they served hamburgers made from grilled patties over charcoal. It was delicious.

After playing at the sandbar for about an hour, we moved to a snorkeling spot while viewing sea turtles from the boat. We snorkeled for about an hour, but there weren't many fish. I had a decent time, but considering the cost, I feel that participating once is probably enough.

後輩の強い勧めで初めて参加しました。天候には恵まれラッキーでしたが、水温は意外と低く南の島の海といった感じではなかったです。サンドバーの水位は膝くらいまであり浮島といった感じではありませんでした。一緒に参加した妻が去年参加した時には腰くらいまで水位があったそうなので、まだ良い方なのかも。
ランチはBBQと聞いて想像するBBQではなく、ハンバーグを炭火で焼いてハンバーガーとして提供されました。味は美味しかったです。
サンドバーで１時間くらい遊んだあと，ウミガメがいるスポットを船上から眺めながらスノーケリングスポットへ移動し、１時間くらいスノーケリングをしましたが、魚はあまりいなかったです。それなりに楽しめましたが，料金に対しての満足度からすると１度参加すれば十分かなといった印象です。

It was amazing. Absolutely the best! The Japanese guide and the local people were very kind, the lunch was incredibly delicious, and we got to spend a lot of time in the sea. It was the best tour. The weather was a bit cloudy, but the content of the tour was very good. It was so good that I want to go many times. I highly recommend it!!! Sunscreen is a must!!!

最高でした。とにかく最高～！
日本人のガイドさんと現地の方々は非常に親切だし、ランチもめちゃくちゃ美味しいし、たくさん海に入れるし、最高のツアーでした。
雲がちょっと多いようなお天気でしたが、ツアーの内容はとても良かったです。
何度も行ってしまいたい、と思うほど良かったです。
すごくオススメです！！！
日焼け止めは必須です！！！

The sandbar was painful in some spots depending on where you stepped, but snorkeling was fun with lots of fish. The hamburger was also delicious. I saw many sea turtles too.

サンドバーは踏む場所によって痛いところもありましたが
シュノーケリングはお魚もいっぱいいてたのしかったです。
ハンバーガーもおいしかったです。
ウミガメもいっぱい見れました。

I ended up going on a rainy day. Since it was high tide, I only got to see a slightly beautiful sea. While high tide can't be helped, I honestly wish they would cancel on rainy days. (If possible, I think they should offer discounts on days with high tide since they can know in advance.) It was just the sea, cold, the snorkeling was murky, and once it starts, you're stuck for about six hours. The staff were very nice, so I gave it two stars.

雨の日に当たってしまいました。且つ満ち潮だったためただの少し綺麗な海を見れただけといった感じでした。
満ち潮はしょうがないにしても、正直雨の日は中止にしてほしいです。（できれば満ち潮の日も、あらかじめわかるのだから割引してもいいと思う）
ただの海、寒い、シュノーケリングは濁ってる、決行されると6時間程度は拘束される。
スタッフの人たちはとても感じの良い人達だったので星2つにしました。

I finally went on a long-awaited 5-night, 7-day trip to Hawaii with my friends! I participated in this tour after making a reservation from Japan. Our high-energy tour guide picked us up at the hotel, and we set off for our destination! Since it was early in the morning, everyone on the bus looked sleepy, and many were dozing off, but the tour guide's enthusiastic chatter lifted our spirits. I was a bit worried about the weather since it was raining and I thought we might not see any beautiful scenery.

Once we arrived, we received safety instructions and a tour briefing before setting off on the boat. Suddenly, the sun came out, and the clarity of the ocean deepened! The views of the mountains and the sea were truly breathtaking. When we reached our destination, the boat stopped, and we had some free time. We took photos, went snorkeling, and had a lot of fun playing beach volleyball with other participants and the instructor. There were many people from both Japan and overseas, making it a very enjoyable time.

Afterward, we returned to the boat for lunch! We could customize our hamburgers with our favorite toppings, and the burgers we ate on the boat were delicious. After finishing our meal, we went for sea turtle watching! We moved to a spot with clear waters and were able to see them beautifully. We encountered a very friendly sea turtle that came close to the boat, poking its head out, and it was so cute!

Next, we headed to the snorkeling point. Snorkeling was different from what I imagined; while the ocean was beautiful, the fish were quite large. It wasn't like seeing the small fish like Nemo in Okinawa; instead, there were big fish swimming around. I participated for the whole day, and it was more fun than I expected, truly creating wonderful memories of Hawaii. Thank you!

友達と念願の５泊７日のハワイ旅行へ！こちらのモニターは日本から予約を済まし参加しました。行きはハイテンションなツアーガイドさんが宿泊ホテルまでお迎えに来てくれ、現地へ出発！バス内は朝が早かったこともあり皆さん眠そうで、眠っている人も多い中ツアーガイドさんのハイテンションの突っ走りトークに楽しい気持ちになりました(^^;;行きは天候が悪く雨が降っていたりで、綺麗な景色が見れないのではないかと不安になりました。現地に付き、注意事項、ツアー説明を受け船で出発。するとみるみらうちに日差しが出てきて透明度が深まる海へ！ほんとに山と海の絶景でした。目的地に着くと船を止め自由タイムへ。写真を撮ったりシュノーケルをしたり…中でも他の参加者の方とインストラクターの方でしたビーチバレーがとても楽しかったです♡海外の方もいれば日本の方もたくさんいて、とても楽しい時間でした(^3^*)/その後は船にもどり昼食へ！ハンバーガーに自分で好きなトッピングができ、船で食べるバーガーはとても美味しかったです♡食べ終わったあとはウミガメウオッチングへ！また透明度の高い場所へ移動し見事に見れました♡サービス精神の高いウミガメに出会い、船の近くに寄ってきては頭をひょこんとだしたりと、とても可愛かったです(﹡ˆoˆ﹡)その後はシュノーケルポイントへ。シュノーケルは想像と違い、海は綺麗なのですが、魚がとりあえずデカイ(^^;;沖縄などでみれるニモのような魚が見れるわけではなく、大きな魚がウジャウジャいてるというような感じでした(^^;;一日参加させてもらいましたが、想像以上の楽しさで本当にハワイでの素敵な思い出になりましたありがとうございました
