Oahu
The bus on the way there was so cold that I was freezing (~_~;) It made my stomach hurt... The return trip was a bit better, but the ride there was really too cold and it was terrible.
行きのバスの中が寒くて凍えてた(~_~;)お腹痛くなるやつ…帰りはまだマシやったけど行きは本当に寒すぎてやばかった

The weather wasn't very good in the morning... it was cold (~_~;) But I was glad I could see a beautiful rainbow‼︎ A wrap is definitely a must-have.
朝から天気があまり良くなかったから…寒かった(~_~;)でも、虹も綺麗にみれたからよかった‼︎やっぱり羽織るものは必需品です。

I was worried I wouldn't be able to see them, but I saw sea turtles! They swam close by for a long time, so I was really satisfied with how many I got to see.
見れるか不安やったけど、海ガメ見れたよー‼︎
ずっと近くに泳いでたからたくさん見ること出来て満足やった。

Smoking on the sea is the best! (laughs)
Huh? Is it okay to smoke here? (laughs) But since it was allowed, I did it proudly! (≧∇≦)
海の上でのタバコサイコー（笑）
え？ここは吸っていーの？（笑）と思いながら…
でもが出たので堂々と（≧∇≦）

I returned wearing my swimsuit with a towel draped over me, but I got really cold on the bus. There are no lockers or changing rooms, so it's better to bring extra towels. They were disposing of leftover snacks during the light meal. I wish they had waited until the participants got off. The water level was about knee-deep. It seems the sandbar is around October 10, so those who got to experience it are lucky. The staff were great at getting everyone excited, and there were no issues with their service. Swimming in a line while snorkeling with a large group is challenging, but I saw a lot of cute little fish!
帰りは水着のままタオルを羽織って帰りましたがバスの中で冷えきります。ロッカー、更衣室はありませんので、多目にタオル持っていった方が。 軽食中に余っていたものを処分していました。参加者がおりてからにしてほしかったです。 水位はひざ下位でした。砂洲は10/月位らしいので、当たった方は羨ましです。 スタッフさんは盛り上げてくれたり、対応は問題ありません。シュノーケリング縦に並んで大勢で泳ぐのは大変ですが小さな魚がたくさん見れて可愛かったですよ！！

I felt sleepy while gathering at 6:05 AM. Since there was an explanation on the bus, I couldn't sleep. I had to pay close attention to this explanation. Also, I recommend having breakfast beforehand! It requires a lot of energy, and I felt quite exhausted. I took motion sickness medication at the hotel, so I didn't get seasick.
I was worried because it had rained all day the previous day, but it was sunny on the day of the trip! There was an explanation that we wouldn't necessarily see wild dolphins 100% of the time, and I was excited while on the boat!
It seems there were nine boats out at sea that day, but we had a hard time finding dolphins. We ended up going to see sea turtles first. Jumping into the sea was thrilling!
We quickly encountered sea turtles and saw them three times; one of them was a large 70-year-old male, which was impressive. The guide mentioned that male turtles are rare. Their breathing poses are so cute! The sea and the fish were very beautiful.
Once we got back on the boat, we received information that dolphins had been found, which was a relief. We moved to search for dolphins and found them!
Wild dolphins pass by in an instant, so it's best to pay attention to the guide's signals. We were able to see a few swim below us and spotted some jumping in the distance.
We moved several times and snorkeled in areas where dolphins might be, so by the end, I was quite exhausted, but it was a lot of fun and a unique experience! I think it was the right choice to do this on the last day since it requires a lot of energy.
All the staff were very nice, and I was able to fully enjoy Hawaii and create wonderful memories.
朝6:05集合のため、眠たいまま集合する感じでした。バスの中では説明があるので、眠ることは出来ません。この説明はしっかり聞いておかなきゃです。
あと、朝食はとっておくことをオススメします！かなり体力を使うので、フラフラになりました。ホテルで酔い止めを飲んでいたので、船酔いはしませんでした。
前日が１日中雨だったので心配でしたが、当日は晴天(*^^*)野生のイルカは100％見れるわけではないと説明があり、ドキドキしながら船上！
当日は全体で９隻海に出でいたらしいのですが、なかなかイルカが見つからず(>_<)先に海ガメに行くことになりました。
海に飛び込むときは、ドキドキ！！
すぐに海ガメと遭遇出来き、３回も会えて、そのうち一匹は70歳のオスで大きくて感動(^-^)vオスは珍しいとガイドさんの説明がありました。息継ぎする姿が可愛い‼
海もお魚もとてもキレイでした。
一旦、船に上がるとイルカがが見つかったと情報があり一安心。
イルカを探しに移動して、発見！
野生のイルカは一瞬で通り過ぎてしまうので、ガイドさんの合図を聞き逃さないようにした方がいいです。
下を何頭か通り過ぎたり、遠目でジャンプしたのを見ることが出来ました(^-^)
何度か移動して、イルカのいそうなところでシュノーケリングするので最後はフラフラになりますが、とっても楽しめてなかなか出来ない体験！
かなり体力も使うので、最終日にして正解だったと思います。
スタッフの方もみなさん良い方で、ハワイを満喫出来いい思い出が作れました。
Thank you for participating! I'm glad you were able to meet so many dolphins! We look forward to your next visit! Mahalo!
この度はご参加頂きありがとうございました！たくさんのイルカたちに会えたようで良かったです！またのご参加をお待ちしてます！Mahalo!

Since it was a half-day course, I thought it might be a bit lacking, but I was fortunate to have kind lectures and even meet a sea turtle "Little Buddy," making it a very satisfying and exciting tour. The interactions with Mr. Dan during the transportation were enjoyable, and my nice partnership with Chieko-san also made me feel happy. Mahalo!!!
半日コースだったので少し物足りないかな？との思いで参加しましたが、親切なレクチャーとウミガメの”リトル・バディ”にも出会える幸運にも恵まれ、大満足・興奮のツアーでした。送迎中のダン先生とのやり取りも楽しく、ちえこさんとのナイスなパートナー関係にこちらも幸せな気分にさせて頂きました。マハロ～！！！
We are very happy to hear that you enjoyed the Hanauma Bay snorkeling tour! On that day, our little buddy, who usually stays out in the ocean, came to play inside and swam with everyone, which was so much fun. I hope you were able to download the photos without any issues. Please come back and visit us again when you're in Hawaii. Also, at Blue Hawaii Divers, we offer experience diving at Hanauma Bay, so if you're interested, we highly recommend it. Thank you! Mahalo!!
ハナウマ湾シュノーケリングツアーを満喫していただけた様で、私達もとても嬉しいです！！あの日はいつもは沖の方にいるリトルバディがインサイドに遊びに来てくれていて、皆さんと一緒に泳いでくれてとても楽しかったですね。お写真も無事ダウンロードしていただけたかと思います。またハワイにお越しの際には皆さんで遊びに来てくださいね。それとブルーハワイダイバースではハナウマ湾での体験ダイビングも開催していますので、もし良かったらこちらもオススメです。ありがとうございました。Mahalo!!

My daughter and a friend decided to stay in Oahu over spring break instead of coming home. They had planned bus trips for Hanauma Bay as well as North Shore during the week. After having a horrible time with the bus schedules and waiting to get to their destinations, I decided to get them tickets for the shuttle. So glad I did! They had a really good time, hassle free of buses and hotel pick up and drop off was perfect for them. The trip to the bay made their spring break! So glad I found this site, and we will use them again when we visit her over Thanksgiving this year!
It was absolutely amazing! (^O^)
I went in the afternoon, and the sandbar was about knee-deep.
But sitting down and taking pictures actually allowed me to appreciate the beauty of the sea even more!
The ocean was sparkling, and I felt like I could stay there forever!
There weren't as many colorful fish while snorkeling as I expected, but I was able to swim with a sea turtle! ♪♪♪
I was desperately trying not to touch the sea turtle as it swam away! Haha!
It was really great to see it up close!
I was able to see several from the boat as well.
Leonard's malasadas and lunch were really delicious!
If I have the chance to go to Hawaii again, I definitely want to participate again!!!
The guide and the captain were also really nice!
とにかく最高でした(^O^)
午後の便で行きましたがサンドバーはひざ下くらいでした。
でも座って写真撮ったりするのには逆に海の綺麗さが伝わって良かったかな！
とにかく海がキラキラしててずっとここにいれる〜！って感じでした。
シュノーケリングは思ったほどカラフルな魚はいなかったですが、なんと！海ガメと泳ぐことができました♪♪♪
海ガメを触らないようにこっちが逃げるの必死でした！笑
ほんとーに間近で見られてとっても良かったです！
船の上からも何匹も見ることできました。
レナーズのマラサダ、ランチとっても美味しかった
です！
またハワイに行く機会があれば絶対参加したいです！！！
ガイドの方、船長さんもとっても良い方でした！
Aloha! Thank you for joining the Captain Bruce's Paradise of the Sea tour. For Misapon, who was chased by a sea turtle (?!), I hope a lot of luck comes your way! Please come back to Hawaii again. We will be waiting for that day with the sea turtles. Mahalo.

My boyfriend and I were in Hawaii last week with friends and this was one of the highlights of our trip! We stayed at Sheraton Waikiki so this catamaran was an easy walk right next door along the beach. They take you out about 15 mins into the ocean where we snorkeled and saw 300lb sea turtles that swim right next to you! After snorkeling grab a spot on the nets and you're in for a fun ride over some waves! The staff is fun and friendly as well!
The shuttle bus picked us up at our accommodation, Hyatt Regency Waikiki, so the whole family participated. We signed up thinking, "Half a day on a boat sounds nice," but it was amazing!!
After leaving the harbor, we headed to the "sandbar," about 15 minutes offshore, with white sand (from coral) and a water depth of around 20 cm, covering an area of about 200 square meters. Since it's located offshore, it was a wonderful and unique experience to "walk on the sea," and our family was very satisfied!
We relaxed for about an hour before returning to the boat for a hamburger lunch while moving to the snorkeling point. During that time, we spotted a turtle—lucky us! And then, a seal?! It seems it got lost in this coral lagoon (according to YUKIKO, a Japanese staff member who has been there for 8 years, this was her first time seeing one). While snorkeling, we enjoyed the view of the mountains where Jurassic Park was filmed on our left. With life jackets provided, it was easy and comfortable. Unlike the shallow sandbar we visited earlier, the snorkeling point had a coral reef with a depth of about 5 to 10 meters surrounding an area of about 200 meters. Because of that depth, we were lucky to spot another turtle here!
It was a more enjoyable time than we expected. I highly recommend it to everyone!
送迎バスが、宿泊のハイアットリージェンシーワイキキに当たっれいたので、家族で参加。
「半日、船でゆっくりでいいかな」くらいで申し込んだのですが、最高でした！！
港を出て、15分ほど沖の「サンドバー」、水深20cm程の白砂（サンゴから）の200m四方ほど、海岸から沖にあるので、「海の上を歩く」という不思議な素敵な体験、家族して満足！
1時間ほどゆっくりして船にもどり、ハンバーガーの昼食をとりながら、シュノーケリングポイントへ移動。その間に、亀発見、ラッキー！さらにアザラシ？！どうもこのサンゴのラグーンに迷い込んだようです（日本人スタッフのYUKIKOさんの8年いて初めてとのこと）。左手にジュラシックパーク撮影の山を見ながら、シュノーケリング。ライフジャケットがあるので、楽ちん。周囲に浅瀬が取り巻く先ほどの「サンドバー」とへ違い、シュノーケリングポイントの周囲200mほどのサンゴ群の外周は5～10m深さ。その深さゆえ、ラッキーにもここでも「亀」発見！
期待以上に楽しい時間でした。ぜひ皆さん、どうぞ。

I had been looking forward to swimming with dolphins for a long time! I was really anxious until I could actually meet them, but after about an hour from Waikiki and 45 minutes by boat, we finally found the dolphins!
My husband was snorkeling for the first time, so he was a bit nervous, but the staff provided thorough explanations, which made us feel at ease. However, once we spotted the dolphins, it was "Jump in!" from the boat, so I jumped in without having time to mentally prepare myself (laughs).
When I saw the pod of dolphins underwater, I was truly excited!! They weren't very close, so it didn't feel like we were swimming together, but I was really happy to see wild dolphins.
Everyone was very friendly, and we had a great time. Since we left early at 6 AM and didn't eat much for breakfast, I was a bit disappointed that I only had one cheeseburger for lunch. I would have liked a bit more volume for lunch! But the cheeseburger was delicious.
I was also really happy to swim with sea turtles. The visibility that day was great, and I was moved by how well we could see the fish and dolphins.
At the end, we all danced the hula, and it became my best memory of the trip to Hawaii!
I told my family that the dolphin tour was amazing, and I’m thinking of participating with them next time! Thank you so much!
イルカと泳げるの⁇ってずっと楽しみにしていました(=´∀｀)人(´∀｀=)
本当に会えるまで不安でいっぱいでしたが
ワイキキから1時間、船で45分くらい？
して、ついにイルカを見つけました(>_<)
旦那さんはシュノーケル初めてだったので
不安でしたが丁寧に説明して頂けるので安心です。
しかしイルカを見つけたら船から
『飛び込めー！』なので心の準備出来ないまま勢いで飛び込みました（笑）
海の中でイルカの群れを見たときは
本当に興奮しました！！
あまり近くでは無かったので
一緒に泳いだという感じではありませんが
野生のイルカを見れるのはとても嬉しかったです。
皆さんとても気さくで楽しく過ごせました。
朝が6時と早いので朝ごはんあまり食べずに行ったのでお昼のチーズバーガー1つだけだったのが少し残念でした(>_<)
もう少しお昼にボリュームがほしいです！
でもチーズバーガーは美味しかったです。
ウミガメとも泳げたのが凄く嬉しかったです。
その日は透明度が良かったのか
魚もイルカもよく見えて感動しました。
さいごは皆さんでフラダンス踊ったり
ハワイ旅行で1番の思い出になりました！
家族にも イルカのツアー凄く良かった！と伝え、今度家族でも参加したいなーと思ってます(*^^*)
本当にありがとうございました(>_<)

The sandbar looked beautiful. I also went snorkeling, but it felt crowded and murky, like swimming with a group of people, so I couldn't see anything. If you're going to snorkel, I feel like another plan might be better. Overall, I enjoyed the sandbar, and the tour guide was very entertaining, making it a fun tour.
サンドバーは綺麗に見えました。
シュノーケリングもしたのですが、シュノーケリング部隊といったスイミーみたいな感じで泳ぐ感じなので、混雑しており水も濁り何も見えませんでした。
シュノーケリングをするなら、別のプランのほうがいいように感じました。
総合的には、サンドバーは満喫できたことと、ツアーのお姉さんがとても面白かったので楽しいツアーでした。

It took quite a while to see dolphins, as we were on the boat for over an hour without spotting any. As a result, everyone on the boat was fast asleep. I was glad we finally got to see the dolphins, but it was very disappointing that we couldn't enjoy the marine sports or the time with the sea turtles that we were looking forward to. Also, I read that we would be able to have malasadas, but they weren't available this time. I wonder if it's a limited-time offer... Overall, it was fun, and I would like to participate again. However, I realized that whether you can enjoy it or not depends on luck since you're dealing with wild dolphins.
なかなかイルカがいなくて、イルカと出会うまで１時間以上も船に揺られていました。おかげで 船の上ではみんな爆睡。ようやくイルカは見れたので良かったですが、楽しみにしていた、マリンスポーツの時間や、海ガメの時間を取ることが出来ずとても残念でした。 それと、書き込みでは マラサダを頂けるとあったのですが、今回はありませんでした。期間限定なのかな、、、
総合的には 楽しかったのでまた参加したいと思います。ただ、楽しめるかどうかは、自然のイルカ相手なので運次第だと実感しました。
Thank you for participating this time. We sincerely apologize for not being able to spend time with the sea turtles and marine sports. Regarding the malasada, we discontinued it a few years ago due to the high possibility of customers getting seasick. We look forward to your next participation. Mahalo!
この度はご参加いただきありがとうございました。 ウミガメやマリンスポーツにお時間を取ることが出来ず、大変申し訳ありません。 マラサダにつきましては、お客様が船で酔われる可能性が高くなってしまったので数年前に廃止させていただきました。 次回のご参加を心よりお待ちしております。 Mahalo!

On the last day of my trip, I joined this tour. The meeting time was early in the morning, and I was sleepy, but the guide worked hard to lift everyone's spirits on the bus to the port. They explained the precautions very carefully, so I was able to enjoy the experience without any worries.
We were blessed with good weather on the day, and the boat was stable, so no one got seasick. Once we boarded the boat, we all offered prayers to see dolphins and finally released plumeria flowers into the sea. We tried to spot dolphins three times and were able to see them twice! When we spotted them, we jumped in right away and swam quickly to where the dolphins were. It was quite strenuous, and we swam a considerable distance, so I was exhausted. It might be tough for small children to keep up.
I was disappointed that we spent so much time searching for dolphins that we couldn't do other activities, but I want to try again next time to see sea turtles. After getting out of the water, my body was cold, but they served warm tea, which was a wonderful gesture.
Since it gets quite chilly, I think it's a good idea to bring towels, T-shirts, and something to wear over your clothes. At the end, we all danced the hula, which created a lovely memory. On the way back, we were given cheeseburgers, drinks, and snacks, and the cheeseburger was really delicious!
It was a tour that brought smiles to everyone, and I definitely want to participate again!
旅行最終日にこちらのツアーに参加しました。集合時間は朝が早く眠かったですが、港までのバスの中ではガイドさんがみんなのテンションをあげようと盛り上げてくれました^ ^注意事項などもとても丁寧に説明してもらったので何の不安もなく楽しめました(*^_^*)
当日は天候にも恵まれ船の揺れも少なく船酔いしている方はいませんでした。船に乗船すると、イルカを見れるようみんなで祈りを捧げ、最後にプルメリアの花を海に流しました^ ^
イルカは三回トライしましたが、二回見ることが出来ました★見つけたらすぐに飛び込み、急いでイルカの所まで泳ぎます。かなりハードで、結構な距離を泳いだのでクタクタでした。小さいお子様はついていくのに大変かもしれませんm(_ _)m
イルカ探しに時間を使ってしまい、他のアクティビティが出来なかった事が残念でしたが次回リベンジしてウミガメなど見たいです(^-^)海から上がると体が冷えて寒かったのですが、温かいお茶が配られ心遣いがとても素晴らしかったです^ - ^
かなり冷えるのでタオルやTシャツや羽織りものなど持参した方が良いかと思います。最後にみんなでフラダンスを踊りとても良い思い出になりました^ ^帰りにチーズバーガーと飲み物とスナックが配られましたが、チーズバーガーとっても美味しかったです★
みんなか笑顔になれるツアーでした、是非また参加したいと思います(*^^*)
Thank you for participating this time. We hope that when you join us next time, you will definitely experience snorkeling and marine activities with the sea turtles.
この度はご参加頂きましてありがとうございました。
次回ご参加頂く時にはウミガメたちとのシュノーケルやマリンアクティビティを是非ご体験いただきたいと思います。

On the day of the tour, it was cold on the boat, possibly due to the rain and wind. It was advertised as a BBQ, but in reality, it was grilled hamburgers. I wish they had just called it hamburgers; I thought we would be grilling the meat ourselves. The snorkeling was also cold, and everyone was shivering. At times like this, it would be nice if they provided wetsuits. I no longer want to participate in this tour.
当日は雨と風あったせいか船上でも寒かった。
それとBBQと書いてあったが実際には網焼きされたハンバーガーだった。
そらならハンバーガーって書いて欲しい、お肉を自分達が焼くのかと思ってしまう。
シュノーケリングも寒くてみんな震えていた。
こんな時はウェットスーツでも用意して欲しい。
もうこのツアーは参加したくないです。
Thank you very much for participating in the tour.
On the day of the tour, due to the rain and wind, I believe you may have felt colder than usual when your body got wet. As you mentioned, wetsuits do provide warmth, but please understand that we do not provide them for the tour you participated in.
Additionally, regarding the BBQ lunch you pointed out, we hope you understand that it was indicated as a BBQ hamburger on the tour page.

Setting off on the cruiser.
About an hour of snorkeling. The sea turtles were super close!!
They were almost too close for comfort. I was exhausted after an hour (laughs).
After that, we went cruising. The champagne was served in regular plastic cups, and they were overflowing!
It was fun. I want to do it again.

Perfect in every way, the guides were superb, the sharks were great, it was most excellent! Thank you VERY much for an unforgettable experience!
It was rainy with occasional clouds and strong winds, making it quite gloomy. I thought it would be amazing if it were sunny, but unfortunately, I could only see the sea turtles from a distance. The water level at the sandbar was low, just below my knees, so that was a good thing. The snorkeling was disappointing as well, possibly due to the rain and wind; there were hardly any fish, and the sea was dark. They ask you to pair up for snorkeling! I participated alone, but since the husband of a couple who joined was observing, I teamed up with his wife, which made it easy for me to join the snorkeling even as a solo participant, so that was nice. All in all, the disappointing part was the weather. I couldn't enjoy the scenery. If you participate in rainy weather, it might be better not to have overly high expectations. I would like to go again when it's sunny next time.
雨時々曇りで風も強風でドンヨリしてました。晴れたら最高ったとは思いますが残念ながら海亀も遠くから少し見るだけでした。サンドバーの水位は低く膝下だったので～それだけは良かったです。シュノーケリングも雨と風のせいか？魚がほとんどおらず海も暗く残念でした。シュノーケリングではバディを組んで下さい！と言われます。１人で参加してましたがカップルで参加してみえた奥様の旦那様が見学されるという事で奥様とバディを組み１人参加でも難なくシュノーケリングに参加出来ましたので～それも良かったです。とにもかくにも残念なのは天気です。景色を楽しむ事は出来ませんでした。雨降りに参加される場合は過度な期待はしない方が良いかも？今度は晴れた時に又行ってみたいです。

Absolutely awesome experience!!!! Crew were super nice and helpful!!
I participated with my 7-year-old son. We had been to Hawaii several times, but I thought we should have joined the dolphin tour earlier. On the day of the tour, the weather was perfect, and we happily boarded the boat. My son was a bit scared of the boat, but perhaps because he took motion sickness medication before leaving the hotel, he didn't get seasick and we arrived at the dolphin spot. He had no worries about snorkeling or swimming, so we jumped right into the water! The marine blue was crystal clear, even at depths of over 10 meters. Just swimming in this transparent sea felt amazing. Then, when the guide signaled, a group of dolphins immediately appeared before our eyes. Dolphins swimming in the water and leaping above the surface! It was astonishing and moving! I peered into the water multiple times to keep up with the guide's signals, and each time, I saw dolphins swimming gracefully. Just when my son and I were a bit tired, the signal to change spots came. As we moved to the next location by boat, we saw many sea turtles and small fish. It felt like we had entered a different world. Without taking a break, we continued swimming and watching the fish, and before we knew it, it was time to head back. We felt so disappointed; we wanted to enjoy it all day long. That was our wish, and I definitely want to participate again next time. It was an activity we should not miss. Thank you very much!
7歳の息子と参加しました。
何回かハワイには来てましたが、初めてイルカ中学に参加してもっと早くに参加しておけば良かったと思いました。
参加当日は、絶好の天気で気持ち良くボートに乗り込みました。息子は、ボートを少し怖がってましたが、酔い止めをホテル出発時に飲んでいたためか、船酔いすることもなくイルカスポットに到着。シュノーケルや泳ぎに関しては、全く不安がなかったので直ぐに海の中へ！１０M以上の深さの中でも海底まで透き通るマリンブルー。この透き通った海を泳ぐだけでも、最高の気分。そうすると、ガイドの方から合図があると、沢山のイルカたちが直ぐに目に飛び込んできました。海の中で泳ぐイルカの集団や海面を飛び交うイルカの集団！なんなんだ！驚きと感動！ガイドさんの合図に遅れないように何回も海の中を覗くと何回もイルカたちがスイスイと泳いでいるのが目に飛び込んできました。息子も私も少し疲れたところで、スポット変更の合図。次のスポットに船で移動すると、次はウミガメや小さな魚たちが沢山目に入ってきた。違う世界に来た気分である。時間いっぱい休むことなく、泳ぎ続け魚たちを見ていると、あっという間に帰る時間になってしまいました。思いっきり残念な気分。一日中でも楽しみたかったのが、息子と私の思いでした。是非次回も参加したいし、参加すべきアクティビティでした。
本当にありがとうございました！

I experienced the sea of paradise. The scenery was wonderful. The weather was great, and the colors of the sea and sky were cobalt blue, with the green of the Coral Mountains and the white sandbar. It was truly magnificent.
The muffins for a light snack were delicious, and I had plenty of time for snorkeling, which was fun.
The only disappointment was that I didn't encounter a single sea turtle. But that's nature, so it can't be helped.
天国の海を実感しました。素晴らしい景色でした。お天気がよかったのもあって、海と空の色はコバルトブルー。コウラル山脈のグリーン。白いサンドバー。本当に見事でした。
軽食のマフィンもおいしくて、シュノーケリングもたっぷり時間があって楽しかったです。
残念なのは、ウミガメに1匹も遭遇しなかったこと。自然のことだから仕方ありませんね。

We didn't get to SNUBA due to the conditions on the water; however, the trip was fantastic, the crew was very very friendly as well as experienced. Would do it again in a heartbeat!
Good service and good experience with both Dolphin Watch & Snorkel. I would give 5 star if they had a pro photo services.
This was my first time to Kaneohe bay sandbar, and I have great time with Captain Bob's cruise. Also, I have fun of trying snorkeling.
This was hands down our favorite excursion on the island! Fantastic Crew, great food, fun music, great snorkeling, and lovely boat ride. We went with my mom and our 5 year old son. Both of them chose not to snorkel and still had a blast. Extra bonus, they have a photographer who took tons of photos (even underwater!) at the cost of $40 for the entire flash drive. Really great time! Highly recommend!! We will be back :-)
We arrived after picking up at about three hotels with a large bus shared with various tour companies, which took around an hour. Prices seem to vary, but it looks like around $110 is the standard if lunch is included.
At the end of March, the wind was strong, but we were fortunate with the weather, and we could see the sandbar from quite a distance. If it weren't for the strong winds, it seems we could have set up a net for beach volleyball.
Our guide, Yukiko, who was exclusively for Japanese guests, was truly wonderful and gave us a lot of energy. She took many photos for us, directing us on poses that we wouldn't have thought of ourselves, and even if we did, it would have been difficult to ask someone else to do it (laughs). The unique way she captured us made the photos we took there incredibly valuable. I am grateful for the enjoyable time we shared. Despite doing the same thing multiple times every day, she was never mechanical; you could tell she was genuinely enjoying taking the photos... she was a person with heart. I aspire to be like her.
As for the snorkeling, even though it was my first time, it turned out to be a wonderful experience suitable for a graduation celebration with my 12-year-old child. We saw coral reefs for the first time, colorful fish, and even swam alongside a sleeping sea turtle for a while. I honestly didn't expect to be so moved by snorkeling. There were a few times when seawater got in my mouth or ears, which was bothersome, but I managed to get through it and felt a sense of accomplishment.
When we got back on the boat, the delicious aroma suddenly made me feel hungry. The hamburgers that the captain grilled were just the right weight—not too heavy, not too shabby, with perfect seasoning and cooking. They were the best hamburgers I've ever had. It got cold with the wind, but they quickly prepared warm cocoa, tea, and coffee, which I found very thoughtful. Since tea is available, it might be a good idea to bring some snacks along.
However, I do want to mention one issue... the toilet was difficult to flush, and since you have to put the paper in a bucket, the smell became quite strong towards the end. Still, I was grateful that there was a toilet.
On the way back, I felt even colder than on the way there. Couples who came lightly without beach towels looked quite cold. A wet towel cools down even more in the cold air, so having an extra towel would be better.
Although I had visited Hawaii many times, this was my first time participating in this. It is a bit pricey, but I would definitely like to join again.
They provided life jackets and fins for small children, and everyone was able to enjoy themselves! As long as they can kick their legs, they are fine. Although the elderly didn't snorkel, they were enjoying themselves up to their knees at the practice point in shallow water.
I think people of all ages, from small children to the elderly, can have fun. While I was satisfied with the waters of the North Shore and Hanauma, the colors of the sea here are different. It's definitely worth seeing!
現地ではいろんなツアー会社の方と混載の大型バスで３か所ほどホテルを回ってピックアップ後、小一時間ほどで到着しました。値段にはバラつきがありそうですが、ランチ付きだと大体１１０ドル前後が主流のようです。
３月下旬で風は強かったですが、天気にも恵まれかなり遠くからサンドバーは見えていました。
強風がなければ、ネットを張ってビーチバレーが出来たようです。
日本人オンリーの船のガイドさんのユキコさんは本当に素敵な方で、パワーをもらえました。
写真を撮って頂いたのですが、何枚もポージングを指示して下さり、自分達では考え付かない、また考えついても他人にこちらからお願いしづらい（笑）かなりマニアックな撮り方で、ここで撮って頂いた何枚もの写真だけでも価値があると思っています。楽しい時間を共有して戴き感謝してます。同じ事を一日に何回も毎日毎日されているのに、ちっとも事務的でなく、楽しんで撮って頂いているのがわかるというか・・・心のある方でした。
見習いたいと思います。
そして、本題のシュノーケルは、初めてだったにも関わらず、１２歳の子供との卒業記念に相応しい素敵な体験となりました。
初めて見る珊瑚礁、カラフルな魚達、眠っているウミガメが起きてしばらく一緒に泳ぐことも
出来ました。シュノーケルでここまで感激出来るとは、正直思っていませんでした。
何度か海水が口に入ったり、耳に水が入って気になったりしましたが、なんとかやり遂げられて達成感もありました。
疲れて船に上がると香ばしい香りで急に空腹を感じました。
キャプテンが焼いて下さったハンバーガーは重すぎず、ショボすぎず、塩加減も焼き加減も素晴らしく、最高においしいハンバーガーでした。
風に当たっていると寒くなったのですが、温かいココアや紅茶、コーヒーをすぐ用意して下さっていて、本当にかゆいところに手が届いているなあと、感心しました。
お茶が飲めるので、おやつを持って行かれても良いかもしれません。
ただ、一つだけ困ったことをお知らせすると・・・トイレの流し方が難しいのと、ペーパーを
バケツに入れなければならないので臭いが後半はきつかったです。
それでも、トイレがあるのはありがたかったですけれど。
帰りのバスは、行き以上に寒さを感じました。
バスタオルを持ってこないで身軽に来ていたカップル達は相当寒そうでした。
体を拭いて濡れたバスタオルは冷気でもっと冷えるので、もう一枚別のバスタオルがある方が
ベターです。
ハワイは何度も何度も訪れていたのに初めての参加でした。
お値段はしますが、またぜひ参加したいです。
小さいお子さん達のライフジャケットや足ひれも用意されていて、ちゃんとみんな楽しめていましたよ！バタ足が出来れば大丈夫です。
シュノーケルはさすがにされてませんでしたが、浅瀬の練習のポイントではおばあちゃんも膝まで浸かって楽しんでおられました。
小さい子からご年配の方まで、楽しめると思います。
ノースショアやハナウマの海でも十分満足していましたが、海の色がまた違います。
一見の価値ありですよ！
