I was really hoping for a completely sandy sandbar, so it was a bit disappointing that there was about 30cm of water left. But that's just a matter of the tides, so it can't be helped. It was a wonderful feeling to walk in the sea.
I was also happy to meet a sea turtle while snorkeling!
However, maybe because there were too many people on the tour? It felt like I was mostly just looking at people's feet while swimming nearby, which was disappointing.
The guide, Izumi, and all the staff were very nice. Thank you!
サンドバーに関しては完全に砂が出ているのを期待していたので、30cm程水が残った状態だったのは少し残念でした。でもこれは潮の問題だから仕方ないですね。海を歩いたりする不思議な感覚は良かったです。
シュノーケリングも、近くで海亀ちゃんに会えて嬉しかった!
けどツアーの人数が多かったせいかな?近くを泳いでいる人が多く、ほぼ足を見ている感じだった時は残念でした。
ガイドのイズミさんはじめ、スタッフの皆さん大変感じ良かったです。ありがとうございました!

It seems that it operates three times a day.
It is very systematized, and I was impressed.
The flow is relatively smooth.
They also lend snorkeling equipment, so if you have a bath towel, you can enjoy it.
However, there were quite a few people. It may depend on the day.
For lunch, there are hamburgers.
I was able to see about 5-6 sea turtles swimming.
I saw one while snorkeling as well.
There seems to be a turtle harassment policy, and if you chase or touch them, you could be fined $15,000, so be careful!
1日に3回催行されているようです。
とてもシステム化されていて、関心しました。
流れも比較的ズムーズです。
シュノーケリングの資材も貸してくれるので、バスタオルでもあれば楽しめます。
その代わり人数は多かったです。日によるのかもしれませんが。
昼はハンバーガーです。
ウミガメが泳いでいるのを5-6匹見られました。
シュノーけリング最中にも1匹見ました。
かめハラスメント規約があるそうで、追いかけたり、触ったりすると15000ドル?の罰金が取られることがあるそうですので、ご用心を!

Walking on the water felt even better than I imagined. While snorkeling, I was able to see fish, and it was truly moving to see a sea turtle swimming right in front of me. Even those who can't snorkel can enjoy seeing fish while walking on the water, making it fun for children as well.
海の上を歩く感じは想像以上に気持ち良かったです。
シュノーケリングでは魚をみたり、さらにウミガメが目の間を泳ぐ様子は感動ものでした。
シュノーケリングができない人も海の上を歩きながら魚が見れるので、子供も楽しめます。

I arrived in Honolulu on the morning of November 20 and participated in a tour that afternoon. The next day was my son's wedding, so it felt like a bit of a mix between the two events, but of course, this was my first trip to Hawaii for the wedding.
I was searching for a tour at the last minute and hoped to join one the day after the wedding, but there were no openings. I really wanted to participate in this tour, and since it was available the day before, I made an immediate reservation. I had only snorkeled once a year and a half ago, borrowing equipment at a hotel in Cebu and trying it out on the hotel's private beach in shallow water. At that time, I only saw a few dark fish.
When the tide went out, I realized how limited my experience had been, and I really wanted to try snorkeling with an instructor at least once and hoped to see a honu (sea turtle), so I signed up.
Alan picked us up from the hotel on time. He spoke Japanese well and was very friendly. That day's participants included us, aged 62 and 58, and a young couple. We stopped by a shop to fit our equipment. As soon as we entered, Alan said, "Today we will dive 30 meters." What?! I was half serious about it. Maybe I was just nervous since I had just arrived in Honolulu that morning. Alan, with a friendly smile, reassured me that he was joking, sensing my tension and trying to ease it.
We arrived at Hanauma Bay and took a picture with a view of the bay. After watching a video, we headed to the beach. There was a brief explanation of how to use the equipment and how to breathe. We stored our important belongings in a large box, locked it, and secured it to a tree with a chain. After using the restroom, we headed to the sea.
We practiced a bit in the shallow water, about waist-deep, and then paired up, holding hands and following Alan. We were able to see various fish, both small and large, and I was especially happy to see a honu. The honu swam leisurely, and I thought to myself that I wanted to live life just as leisurely. Alan held my hand along the way, making it easy for me to enjoy the experience with my husband in between us. I felt completely at ease, even in deeper water, and it was fun. We wore life jackets, and with Alan around, I felt safe.
The snorkel mouthpiece was a bit uncomfortable, though. If it loosened, water would come in from the side, so I had to occasionally lift my head and adjust it. I snorkeled two more times during this trip, but I no longer felt discomfort in my mouth. I guess I was just tensing up. We swam for quite a while in Hanauma Bay, so I didn't feel too tired in the water, but once we got back on land, my legs were fatigued. However, I felt refreshed; it was a fun experience on my first day in Hawaii. Thank you, Alan. To the young couple we were with, wishing you happiness, thank you.
For beginners, you can feel assured with Alan's fluent Japanese support. You'll surely get to see a honu!
11月20日朝ホノルルに到着し、その日の昼にツアーに参加。
翌日は息子の結婚式という、どっちがメイン?みたいになってしまいましたが、もちろん結婚式のための初ハワイでしたが。
渡航ぎりぎりのツアー探しで、結婚式翌日の参加を希望しましたが空きがなく、どうしてもこのツアーに参加したくて、前日なら可能だったので即予約しました。
シュノーケリングは1年半前に一度だけ。
セブのホテルで用具だけ借りて自己流で、ホテルのプライベートビーチで岸辺近くのすぐに背が立つような場所でちょっとやっただけ。その時は黒っぽい魚を少し見られただけでした。
潮が引いてみると、こんな場所でしてたのぉ~みたいなしょぼい経験しかなく、ぜひ一度インストラクター付でしたかったのと、ホヌにぜひとも会いたかったので申込みました。
アランさんが、時間通りにホテルにお迎え、日本語も上手で、とても気さくな方でした。
その日の参加は、私達62歳と58歳、そして若いカップル一組。
ショップに立ち寄り用具合わせ。
ショップに入ってアランさんが開口一番、今日は30メートル潜ります。
えっ?!
私は半分マジになりました。
朝ホノルルに着いたばかりでそれだけ緊張していたのかも。
冗談ですよ~と気さくな笑顔のアランさん。緊張を見てとって、ほぐしてくださったのかな。
ハナウマ湾に到着。湾を一望できる所で一枚パチリ。ビデオを見てからビーチへ。
用具の使い方、呼吸の仕方などの簡単な説明、大事な荷物は大きなボックスに収納し、ボックスを施錠し木にチェーンで固定し施錠。トイレも済ませて海へ。
砂浜の、腰くらいの深さの所で少し練習し、ペアで手をつないでアランさんについていきました。
小さな魚や大きな魚などいろいろ見ることができ、何と言ってもホヌに会えたので嬉しかったですね。
ホヌはゆったりと泳いでいました。わたし達もゆったり生きていきたいですねえ。
途中アランさんが手を引いてくれて、私はダンナとサンドイッチで楽ちんでした。
深い所でも全然不安もなく、楽しかったです。救命胴衣もつけるし、アランさんもいるので安心です。
シュノーケルをくわえる口元が、少ししんどかったかな。緩むと横から水が入ってくるので、時々顔をあげてくわえ直しました。この旅行でこの後2回シュノーケリングしましたが、口元のしんどさは感じなくなりました。たぶん、余分な力が入っていたのでしょうね。
ハナウマ湾でかなりの時間泳いでいたので、海の中ではあまり感じなかったけれど、陸にあがったら足が疲れてました。
でも気分爽快、初ハワイ初日の、楽しい体験でした。
アランさん、どうもありがとう。ご一緒した若いカップルさん、お幸せに、ありがとう。
初心者の人も、日本語ペラペラのアランさんのサポートがあるので安心です。
きっとホヌに会えますよ。

I went on a sandbar tour during the cold period at the end of November, which was not during low tide. It was indeed cold, and I couldn't see the sandbar like you do on TV, but the sea was beautiful, I enjoyed snorkeling, and I even saw sea turtles. It was a very satisfying tour. The tour guides were also very attentive and made sure we had a great time, which made the experience even more fulfilling.

It was certainly beautiful, but not as impressive as I expected. I went in early October in the morning, but it was too cold that day, and I hardly went into the sea. It might have been more enjoyable if I had gone in the middle of summer. The Japanese conductor was considerate and provided good service. Considering the time constraints, I was tied up from around 8:30 to 2 PM, so it might not have been necessary to go. It was at a level where it was okay to experience it once.
確かに綺麗でしたが、言うほどでもない感じ。10月初旬午前中に行きましたが、当日は寒すぎてほとんど海に入りませんでした。もっと真夏に行けば楽しかったかな。日系のコンダクターの方は気も遣えるし日本人的なサービスでした。
時間的な制約を考えれば、8:30~14時ごろまで拘束されていたので、行かなくてもよかったかも。1度体験してみてもいいかなレベルでした。
This is a Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour. Even in mid-winter, you can be fine in just a swimsuit, but in October, some people, like Mimumi, might feel a bit cold. Since it's an outdoor tour, we can't control nature. Also, the perceived temperature really varies from person to person... If you feel a little chilly, please warm up with some hot Kona coffee.

The time I went (in the afternoon) might not have been the best, but there weren't many shallow areas as I expected, and it didn't feel like a place where you could walk on the sandy beach. Some people who didn't bring their swimsuits couldn't get off the boat, which was unfortunate. A swimsuit is a must! The snorkeling was also just a little bit, so I think it would have been better if we could have gone to more places and experienced it for a longer time. However, the sea turtles were friendly, and although you're not supposed to touch them, one came up to me and playfully tapped my thigh with its flipper (laughs). It was really cute! ♪
私が行った時間(午後)があまりよくなかったのかも知れませんが、思ったより浅い場所がなく、砂浜歩ける感じではなかったです。水着を持ってきてない方もいて船から降りれなくてかわいそうでした。水着は必須です!シュノーケリングも少しだけだったので、もう少し色々なところに行けて長く体験できたらもっといいと思いました。でもウミガメが人懐こくて本当は触ってはいけないらしいのですが、向こうから近寄ってきて気さくに太ももとかバシバシ亀の手で叩かれました(笑)すごくかわいかったです♪

The condition of the sandbar varies depending on the day and time. The experience of what kind of sandbar you will encounter is something to look forward to until that day.
As Mai mentioned, when walking on the sandbar, you will need to walk through the water to get from the boat to the sandbar, so please come in swimwear or clothing that can get wet. Also, please come to meet the turtles. We are looking forward to seeing you!

I visited on December 6, 2013. This time, I was picked up from Ko Olina, so it was very easy with only about a 30-minute ride. It saves about an hour compared to going from Honolulu, so I especially recommend it for those staying in Ko Olina. This tour had about 20 participants, with a wide age range from their 20s to 60s, which made it feel cozy and nice. The guide spoke only in Japanese, which made me feel very comfortable participating. From the port, we took a boat for about 20 to 30 minutes to reach an area where dolphins might be. The boat also passed through stunning scenery, so we could enjoy the views. The captain found a spot where dolphins were likely to be and prepared for snorkeling. After jumping into the water, we encountered a large group of dolphins just one minute later! There were about 20 dolphins gracefully swimming slowly about 7 to 8 meters away. I was surprised at how quickly we found them! After the group moved away, we returned to the boat and headed to the next spot. The second encounter was amazing, with a group of 30 to 40 dolphins. Furthermore, the dolphins came up close, just about 3 meters away. I could even hear their sounds, and it truly felt like we were swimming together. I recommend this experience for families, couples, and friends. The guide mentioned that encounters like this happen only about twice a year...
2013年12月6日に行ってきました。今回はコオリナからのピックアップでしたので、片道30分程でとても楽々でした。ホノルルから行くより1時間くらいは時間短縮出来るので、コオリナの宿泊の方は特にお勧めです。今回は20名ほどのツアーで、年齢層も20代~60代と幅広くこじんまりした感じで良かったです。ガイドもすべて日本語でとても安心して参加できました。港からは約20分~30分ほど船に乗り、イルカのいそうな場所へ向かいます。この船も絶景を通るので景色も堪能できます。船長がイルカのいそうな現場を見つけシュノーケル準備。海に飛び込み1分後、早速イルカの大群に遭遇!!!推進7~8メートルくらいを20頭ほどで優雅にゆっくりと泳いでます。こんなにすぐ!という感じでビックリ!一旦群れが去ったので船に戻り、次のスポットへ。2回目が凄く、群れが30~40頭。更にはイルカも上昇してきて、距離はわずか3メートルほど。泣き声も聞こえ、本当に一緒に泳いでいる感じでした。ご家族やカップルお友達同士、様々な方にお勧めです。※年に2回ほどは遭遇出来ないとガイドさんがおっしゃってました・・・。

At first, she was scared and her face was tense, but as the guide held her hand, she started to smile, and by the end, she said she wanted to go snorkeling again soon.

I participated with two friends. It had been my dream to swim with dolphins in Hawaii, so I had high expectations.
On the day of the tour, our guide, Su-san, was very entertaining, and we had a great time in the car on the way there.
Once we got into the water, it took a while for the dolphins to come close, but we were thrilled to see 5 to 8 dolphins swimming right below our group! It was so exciting! Later, when we moved to swim with the fish, we had fun feeding the beautiful tropical fish. I also saw a turtle swimming very close to me (probably within 1 to 2 meters) as it returned to its underwater habitat! That was also incredibly moving! I didn't see it, but I heard there were sea lions as well.
In addition to the dolphins and turtles, the scenery of the surrounding mountains was stunning. The weather was nice, and the divine, quintessentially Hawaiian landscape was absolutely beautiful.
Although it’s not a cheap tour, given the richness of the experience in just half a day, it was worth every penny! I heard there are tours where you can swim with manta rays on the Big Island, so if I get the chance, I definitely want to go! I had such a great time!
友人と3人で参加しました。以前から、ハワイに行ったらドルフィンスイムをするのが夢だったので期待大でした。
当日は、ガイドのすーさんが非常に面白く行きの車の中から楽しかったです。
海に入ってからはなかなかそばにイルカが来てくれなかったのですが、何と、自分たちのグループの真下をスーと5~8匹のイルカが泳いで行ったのを見れました!!大興奮!!
その後移動してお魚たちと泳いだ時も、綺麗な熱帯魚?たちに餌をあげれて楽しかったです。亀も自分のすぐ近く(たぶん1~2メートル範囲)をスーと泳いで、水中のすみか?に帰って行くのを見れました!これも大感動!私は見れなかったですが、アシカもいたとか。
また、イルカや亀だけではなく周辺の山側の景色も素晴らしかったです。天気が良かったこともあり、神々しくハワイらしい景色が非常に良かったです。
決して安いツアーでは無いですが、半日でこの充実ぶりなら惜しくない!!

We participated as a couple. I was worried because I can hardly swim, but there was a Japanese woman on staff who said, "It's okay!" Since I was wearing a sturdy life jacket, I didn't sink, and even though I couldn't swim, I could move my arms and legs slowly to move forward. I was able to thoroughly enjoy the scenery underwater, even as someone who can't swim. I didn't have to wait in the long line when entering, and I wished I could have relaxed a bit more on the beach, but I was very satisfied with the snorkeling. I want to go again.

Unfortunately, the sky wasn't perfectly clear, but I was glad I didn't get sunburned. The Japanese staff were very cheerful and energetic, and of course, all the other foreign guests were also very pleasant. Due to the tides, there was more water than expected (I thought it would be completely dry land, but there was water up to my ankles), and I could see the underwater scenery beautifully while snorkeling, and I was able to see many turtles during the turtle watching. It was a pity that the early morning plan ended in October, but there is still plenty of time after returning to Waikiki, and I would like to take my elderly mother next time.
あいにく快晴の空ではありませんでしたが、日焼けしなくて良かったかな。
日本人スタッフの方もとても明るくて元気で、もちろん他の外国人の方々もみなさん感じが良かったです。
潮の満ち引きの関係か予想より水がありましたが(まったくの陸地になっているのかと思いましたが、足首くらいは水がありました)、シュノーケルではとても綺麗に海の中が見えましたし、タートルウォッチングもたくさんの亀を見ることができました。
もっと早い早朝プランが10月で終了してしまったのは残念でしたが、ワイキキに戻ってからもたっぷり時間はありますし、次は高齢の母を連れて行ってあげたいと思います。

Since I participated from Kailua, I headed to the location without a shuttle. There is no tour desk at the site, so be careful as the meeting point is at a specific location. (I ended up going to the tour desk of another tour company.)
Since I used the second boat, we were able to use the large boat from Dolphin University, which was lucky because I got to eat a cheeseburger on the way back. The boat from Dolphin Junior High looked quite small, so that was good, but my friend got seasick and was throwing up, so it's best for those who get motion sickness to take medication before boarding. I also rented a wetsuit for $10. It serves as sunscreen and helps you float to some extent without a life jacket, so I recommend it.
We saw a lot of dolphins on the way to the point. I was excited to see baby dolphins jumping and being quite friendly. Unfortunately, we couldn't find any sea turtles at the point, but we enjoyed snorkeling there. The local staff were fishing.
It was a shame that there was no photographer accompanying us this time, so we didn't have any photos. It seems that a photographer doesn't accompany every trip, so it's a good idea to bring a disposable underwater camera for peace of mind. A friend who brought a waterproof camera seemed to have issues because they didn't have a housing for it, and it stopped working partway through. Also, the storage area under the bench isn't completely waterproof, so I think it's better to bring a beach bag that closes, like one made of vinyl.
On the way back, we saw a sea turtle taking a breath, which completed our mission. If you love dolphins, this is definitely an activity you'll enjoy.
カイルアからの参加だったので送迎なしで現地に向かいました。
現地にツアーデスクはなく、ポイント集合なので注意です。
(別のツアー会社のツアーデスクに行ってしまいました)
2便利用だったためか、戻ってきたイルカ大学の大きな船をそのまま使用できる
ことになり、帰りにチーズバーガーも食べられラッキーでした。
船もイルカ中学はかなり小さそうだったので、良かったですが
それでも友人は船酔いして吐きまくっていたので、酔う人は乗船前に
酔い止めを飲んだほうがベストです。
また、10ドルでウェットスーツも借りました。
日焼け止めにもなるし、ライフジャケットをつけなくてもある程度浮くのでオススメです。
イルカはポイントに向かう途中から沢山見られました。
赤ちゃんイルカもジャンプしたり、かなり友好的な姿に興奮しました。
ウミガメは残念ながらポイントにいっても発見できなかったのですが
そこではシュノーケルを楽しみました。
ロコのスタッフは魚を釣ってました。
今回、カメラマンが同行しなかったので写真が無くて残念でした。
毎回同行するわけではないようなので、使い捨ての水中カメラは持って行ったほうが安心です。防水カメラを持っていった友人はハウスをつけていなかったためか、途中で動かなくなってしまったようでした。
また、荷物入れはベンチの下で完全に防水なわけではないのでビニール製などの口が閉じるビーチバックを持って行ったほうがいいと思います。
帰りがけに息継ぎをするウミガメも見られてミッションコンプリートとなりました。
イルカが好きなら絶対楽しめるアクティビティですね。

First of all, no one in our family speaks English. I can only convey about 20% of what I want to say (laughs).
Even with an English guide, we were particularly fine. As long as we didn't engage in any reckless behavior, there was no danger aside from natural disasters.
When we arrived at the snorkeling spot, a sea turtle appeared right away. Just being able to see it from the boat made me 80% satisfied, but I was also able to see it up close underwater.
The moment it came up for air was just a brief instant, so even if I spotted it from a distance, I wouldn't have made it in time. But it happened to come up nearby, and I hurried over. It was an emotional moment.
We foolishly brought our 2-year-old, 4-year-old, and 6-year-old with us, but the guides were always there to lend a hand when the kids came up, helping them back onto the boat and checking if they were okay.
The kids quickly got back on the boat, leaving dad as the babysitter.
I wanted to see the turtle one more time, but as everyone started to get out, it felt like it was coming to an end, so I decided to get back on the boat. I happened to tell the guide who was in the water, in broken English, "I wanted to swim with the turtle..." and he said, "Come on!" He was inviting me to come over to see it.
In that moment, I decided to forget about dad and the kids on the boat and hurried to follow him. He was clearly experienced and found a turtle on the ocean floor. But when I looked, it looked more like a rock than a turtle. Then he offered to lend me his camera. When I handed it over, he took pictures of the turtle on the ocean floor. (When I saw them later, they were really great photos!!)
Just as we were about to head back to the boat, another turtle appeared right in front of us! I had heard that touching them would incur a fine, but due to the waves, I almost touched it. To be able to see it at such a close distance was amazing! I was so thrilled.
Thanks to the guide's actions, we had the best experience. I am truly grateful.
For tips, there was a huge transparent bottle on the boat where we were supposed to put them, but I wanted to give him a personal tip. However, since there was a container for tips, even if I just handed him cash, I would still have to put some in the bottle, so I hesitated about giving him a partial amount... (this is where I felt like a typical unsure Japanese person...) In the end, I just put it in the bottle. I might have been better off giving him $10 or $20...
Thank you for a wonderful experience!!
最初に、我が家は誰も英語が話せません。しいていえば私が言いたいことの20%ぐらいを伝えられる、という程度(笑)
英語のガイドですが、そんな我が家でも特に大丈夫でした。自然災害以外は、逸脱した行為をしなければ危険もありませんので。
シュノーケリングポイントについたとき、すぐに海亀が現れました。船上から見ることができて、もうそれだけで80%満足した私ですが、なんと水中から間近に見ることもできました。
息継ぎにあがってくるのはほんの一瞬なので、遠くに発見しても泳いでも間に合いません。でもたまたま近くに上がってきて、急いで近寄りました。感動でした。
我が家は無謀にも2歳、4歳、6歳を連れての参加だったのですが、どの子があがるときにもガイドさんたちが手を差し伸べてくれて船に上げてくれたり、大丈夫か声をかけてくれたり。
子どもたちはすぐにあがってしまい、子守役にパパが船上に。
私はもう一度ぐらい亀に会いたいなぁと思いましたが、だんだんみんなが上がってしまって、もう終わりという雰囲気になったので、船上に上がろうとしました。たまたま海中にいたガイドさんに「亀と泳ぎたかったぁ・・・」と片言の英語で言ったら「カモーン!」と。見せてあげるからおいで、というのです。
もうその瞬間に船上にいるパパと子どもたちは忘れることにして、慌ててついていきました。さすがに慣れていて、海底にいる海亀を発見するのです。でも私が見ても亀というより岩。するとカメラを貸してごらんと。それで渡したら海底にいる亀を撮影してきてくれました。(あとで見たらすごく良い写真でした!!)
さて船に戻りましょう、というとき、たまたま目の前にまた亀が!!
触ったら罰金だと聞いていましたが、波のせいで触れてしまいそうでした。そんな距離で会えるなんて!!大感激しました。
ガイドさんの行為のおかげで、最高の体験ができました。本当に感謝です。
チップは船上にある透明の巨大なペットボトルみたいなものに入れるのですが、なんとなく彼には個人的にチップをはずませて差し上げたくて、でもチップの入れ物はあるし、彼にだけ渡してしまうにしても、そっちの容器にも入れるから全額渡すわけにもいかないし、でも中途半端な金額渡すのって変だし・・・と悩んでしまい(このへんが慣れない日本人ぽい・・・)結局ボトルに入れるだけにしてしまいました。彼に10ドルでも20ドルでも渡せば良かったかも・・・。
素晴らしい体験をありがとうございました!!

It might be a bit different than what you imagine from the guidebook. The water was somewhat cold, and even when we arrived at the sandbar, the water was up to my knees. Snorkeling was amazing. The coral was very close, and we saw sea turtles swimming. Even though meals were provided, the interior of the boat was very clean and pleasant. I definitely want to try this again at a different time.
ガイドブックを想像して参加すると少し違うかも。
若干水も冷たくて、サンドバーに到着しても膝上まで水がありました。
シューノケリングは最高です。珊瑚もすぐ近くでウミガメも泳いでます。
食事も提供しているのに、船内がとても綺麗で気持ちが良かったです。
また時期を変えて、是非チャレンジしてみたいです。
Thank you for participating in the Captain Bruce's Paradise of the Sea Tour the other day. The sandbar truly shows a variety of expressions depending on the day and time. We look forward to seeing what kind of sandbar you will encounter next time, so please come back for this tour. We, along with the sea turtles, are waiting for your return, Okuchan.
キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーです。先日はツアーにご参加頂きましてありがとうございます。
サンドバーはその日その時間によって本当に様々な表情を見せてくれます。
次回はどんなサンドバーに会えるかまた楽しみにこのツアーにお越し下さいね。おくちゃん様のお越しをウミガメとともにお待ちしてます。

I wasn't feeling very well on the day of the event. I participated with some worry, but I was very happy that the crew was considerate.
The snorkeling was quite cold! I'm glad I could have a warm drink. Unfortunately, the sandbar wasn't very visible, and the water came up to about my knees, but I would like to come back at a better time. Thank you!
当日ちょっと体調があまりよくなくて。せっかく来たのだからと心配しながらの参加でしたが、
クルーの方が気遣いして下さってとてもうれしかったです。
シュノーケリングはかなり寒かったですね!温かい飲み物頂けてよかったです。
残念ながら、サンドバーはあまり見えていなくて膝上くらいまで海水きてましたが、また時期の良いときにリピしたいです。
ありがとうございました!

The sandbar, where the depth is visible through the colors, the sea turtles waving occasionally on the waves, and the hamburgers made with patties grilled on the boat… everything became a wonderful memory. I participated with my 2-year-old daughter, and we had a great time.
色合いで深さがわかるサンドバー、ときどき波の上で手を振るウミガメさん、船上で焼いたパテをはさみ、頬張ったハンバーガー…すべてが良き思い出となりました。2歳の娘を連れての参加でしたが、十分楽しめました。
