You can swim with honu (sea turtles)! ホヌ（海亀）と一緒に泳げます！

Reviewed by: ひろろ

Despite the meeting place being at Outrigger Reef, we ended up at Outrigger Waikiki and were 15 minutes late, but the boat arrived just after 8 o'clock. I guess that's American time, right? (laughs)

We arrived at the snorkeling spot in about 10 to 15 minutes. Since it was off Waikiki, we could see Waikiki Beach and the hotels while snorkeling. I was surprised to think we could see sea turtles from such a distance. But we quickly spotted a sea turtle floating on the surface!

As soon as we got into the water, the crew started throwing food to attract the fish. However, the only fish that gathered were dark-colored surgeonfish. There were hardly any colorful tropical fish. But a little further away, there were 5 to 6 of the main attraction, the turtles!!! The water depth was about 7 to 8 meters. The turtles were swimming at about 5 to 6 meters deep, but since I’m good at free diving, I was able to enjoy a rendezvous with the turtles to my heart's content. The turtles seemed accustomed to people and didn’t try to escape even when I got close. Well, touching them is prohibited, so I could only get close, but that was enough to be very satisfying! They occasionally surfaced for air, so even those who can’t dive can enjoy it.

The snorkeling lasted about an hour and a half. After that, we had a 30-minute cruise. The weather was nice, so although the sun was hot, the breeze felt great.

Drinks (cocktails, beer) and photos on board are available for a fee. The snorkeling gear is available for free rental, but there are no fins. I brought my own. The floatation devices are available for free rental, but there are no life jackets, so those who can’t swim might want to prepare accordingly.

待合せ場所がアウトリガーリーフにも係わらず、私たちはアウトリガーワイキキに行ってしまい、集合時間より15分も遅れてしまいましたが、ボートが来たのは8時過ぎ。アメリカ時間ってことでしょうか（笑）

シュノーケリングスポットへは10～15分程度で到着。ワイキキ沖のためシュノーケリングしながらワイキキビーチやホテルが見えるくらいの場所。こんなところで海亀が見えるの？って思う距離です。でもすぐに水面に浮いている海亀を発見！

早速水の中に入ると、船員が餌を撒いて魚を集めてくれます。しかし集まってくる魚は真っ黒のハギ系の魚だけ。カラフルな熱帯魚はほとんどいませんでした。でも、少し離れた所には本命の亀が５～６匹も！！！
水深は７～８メートルというところでしょうか。亀は５～６メートルのところを泳いでいたのですが、私は素潜りが得意なため亀との水中ランデブーを思う存分楽しむことができました。亀は人に慣れているのか近づいても逃げようとしません。ま、触れることは禁止されているので近づくだけですがそれでも十分満足できます！
息をするためにたまに浮き上がってくるので、潜ることができない人でも楽しむことができると思います。

シュノーケリングの時間は1時間半くらいでしょうか。
そのあとは30分ほどのクルージング。天気も良かったので日差しは暑いものの風が気持ちよかったです。

船内での飲み物（カクテル、ビール）と写真は有料です。
シュノーケリングセットは無料貸出ですがフィンはありません。私は持参しました。
浮き棒は無料貸出ですがライフジャケットもありませんので、泳げない方は準備された方がいいかもしれません。

It's fine even with children. 子供連れでも大丈夫

Reviewed by: リンディ

My child (in first grade) wanted to see fish, so we were looking for something easy to do. We were the only Japanese people on the boat departing from Outrigger. All the equipment instructions were in English, but it wasn't a problem at all.

My child enjoyed it, especially when the captain caught and showed us an octopus, which made them very happy. On the way back, we cruised towards Diamond Head, making it a great tour that finished in the morning, perfect for families with children.

子供（小学校一年）がお魚をみたいと言い、気軽に出来そうなものを探していました。アウトリガーからの出航で日本人は私達だけでした。器具の説明など全て英語てすが、特に問題ありませんでした。

子供も楽しめ、船長さんがタコを掴んで見せてくれて喜んでいました。
帰りはダイヤモンドヘッドの方までクルージングしてくれ、子供連れには午前中で終わる、いいツアーでした。

It was my first time back at Hanauma Bay in a while. I was surprised at how much it had changed, but I was able to enjoy my time there with a careful guide, which made me feel at ease. Also, I was surprised to receive the photos on my computer before returning home. The quick and attentive guidance left a great impression. Additionally, snorkeling became even more enjoyable.

Preventing seasickness and keeping warm are essential!! 船酔いと防寒対策は必須！！

Reviewed by: satomi

The day before the snorkeling tour, Waikiki was sunny every day, but just before the meeting time, while having breakfast and looking outside, it started pouring rain and the wind picked up.
I thought, "Is this going to be canceled?" as my husband and I headed to the meeting place, but to our surprise, everyone was cheerful and said, "Once you're inside, it's the same! We're going ahead today!"
While I was relieved that it wasn't canceled, I couldn't help but feel cold waiting at the meeting spot due to the heavy rain and strong winds.

The snorkeling itself was a lot of fun, and I was very satisfied because I got to see many sea turtles and fish! We brought our own snorkel sets and fins, which made swimming easier. They provided us with foam sticks, allowing us to enjoy it for a long time.

However, the sailing after snorkeling was just freezing, and I was shivering. The towel I brought was wet from wiping off the rain and my body, so even covering myself with it didn't help, and even though I had never experienced seasickness before, I ended up feeling nauseous. The weather changed from rain to cloudy.

I realized I should have brought an extra towel for drying off and taken seasickness medication. When we left the hotel, it wasn't raining, so it was a big miscalculation.

シュノーケリングツアーの前日までは毎日晴天のワイキキでしたが、集合時間の少し前に朝食をとりながら外を見ると、大雨で風も強くなってしまった。
「これは中止かなぁ～」と旦那と残念に思いながら集合場所に行ってみると、「中に入っちゃえば同じだよ～！今日は催行OKだよ～！」と陽気な様子。
中止にならなくて嬉しい反面、大雨で風が強くて集合場所で待っている間も寒くてしょうがなかったです。

シュノーケリング自体はとっても楽しく、ホヌにもお魚にもたくさん会えたので大満足！！
私たちはシュノーケルセットとフィンも持参していたので泳ぎやすかったです。
発砲スチロールの棒は貸してくださり、長時間でも楽しめました。

しかしシュノーケリングの終了後のセーリングは、ただただ寒くて凍えていました。
持参したタオルも雨と体を拭いて濡れていたため、それを体にかけても寒くて、尚且つ、今まで一度も船酔いのした事のない私でも、船酔いしてしまいました。
お天気は雨から曇りになっていました。

船酔いの薬を飲んで、寒さ対策は忘れずに体を拭く以外のタオルを持っていったらよかったなと感じました。
宿泊ホテルを出発するときには雨は降っていなかったので、大誤算でした。

イルカ中学　野生のイルカ＆ウミガメシュノーケリングクルーズ　高速ボートでイルカ遭遇率アップ！＜少人数制／ワイキキ＆コオリナ送迎可／日本語／ランチ付き＞

A herd of 100! 100頭の群れ！

Reviewed by: oba

I participated on April 17, 2013. The weather was great, and I was able to swim with over 100 dolphins! I also saw about two sea turtles, and to my surprise, I was able to see a whale from the boat, which I thought was out of season. I felt like I had been saving my luck for this moment since I hadn't been very lucky lately.

One group probably had around 20 to 30 dolphins, and I went into the water three times, encountering them twice. I swam with four or five groups, so there might have been around 150 dolphins in total. It was just so lucky.

Our guide, Minako, was very clear in her explanations and had a bright personality, which was wonderful. I forgot the name, but Captain Papa? also took us accurately to the points, and during the whale watching, he kindly waited on the spot from when we dove until we surfaced.

My mother, who was with me, decided to stay on the boat at one point, saying, "I don't want to go in the water anymore today," but Minako frequently encouraged her not to push herself, so she was able to rest without hesitation. Since it was a tour with many entries, quite a few people chose to rest on the boat during the second session (snorkeling at the tropical fish and sea turtle points).

Even though the weather was nice, we had been snorkeling for quite a while, so it got quite cold, and the warm tea we received on the boat was much appreciated. The snacks were also quite delicious. I devoured a cinnamon pastry and cheese. I was a bit concerned about the calories in the cereal bar, so I took it home.

I really had a great time. I definitely want to take my husband, who stayed home this time, with me next time.

2013/4/17に参加しました。
お天気にも恵まれ、なんと100頭を超すイルカと泳ぐことができました！
ウミガメも2頭ほど見ることができ、おまけに時期が終わったかと思われたクジラも船の上から見ることができました。最近何かとツイていなかったので、「このために運をとっていたのか？」と思うほどでした。

ひとつの群れがたぶん2,30頭で、3回海に入って2回遭遇、4、5グループと一緒に泳ぐことができたので、もしかすると150頭くらいかもです。とにかくラッキーでした。

ガイドのミナコさんの説明はわかりやすく、明るい人柄でとても良かったです。お名前を忘れてしまったのですが、キャプテンパパ？もポイントまで的確に連れて行って下さり、ホエールの時も潜ってから浮き上がるまでその場で待機してくださるなど、親切でした。

同行の母が途中、「ちょっと今日はもう水に入りたくない」と船上に残っていたのですが、無理しないで～とミナコさんが頻繁におっしゃってくださっていたので、遠慮せず休むことができました。エントリー回数の多いツアーだったので、2時限目（熱帯魚やウミガメのポイントでのシュノーケル）はさすがに船上でお休みされる方が多かったです。

良いお天気と言えども、結構な時間シュノーケルしていたので冷えてしまい、船上でいただいた温かいお茶はありがたかったです。スナックも結構おいしかったです。シナモン系の菓子パンとチーズぺろりと食べてしまいました。シリアルバーはさすがにカロリーが気になって持ち帰りました。

本当に楽しかったです。
今度はお留守番してもらった夫もぜひ連れて行きたいと思いました。

I was anxious about not being able to meet... 会えなくてヒヤヒヤしましたが・・・

Reviewed by: MINA

This is my sixth time in Hawaii! I've wanted to join this tour for a while, and I finally participated this time.

Once we arrived at the port, we put on our wetsuits and immediately boarded the boat. The water temperature is low during this season, and the boat is fast, so being exposed to the wind the whole time was quite cold. Renting a wetsuit for $10 was definitely the right choice. By the way, everyone in the group rented one (laughs).

We set sail and searched for about two hours. Ultimately, we headed north up to just before the North Shore, but there was no sign of dolphins, and everyone was getting tired.

At that moment, we encountered a whale! It's rare to see one at this time of year. Everyone was thrilled by this unexpected encounter.

So, what about the dolphins? We received information from another boat that they were near the port! It was a case of "right under the lighthouse." We quickly headed south and managed to meet the dolphins. Depending on the day, there can be hundreds of them, but there were only a few on this day. However, I was really glad to see them clearly with my own eyes and to swim close to them.

After that, we moved to a snorkeling point and got to swim with about five sea turtles. They came close enough to touch.

The staff's energy was incredibly high throughout, so if you're not a fan of that kind of lively student-like atmosphere, it might be a bit overwhelming. Also, it's quite intense, so I don't think it's suitable for those who lack physical stamina or for older individuals. It really drains your energy.

I wonder if it varies by day? I've heard there are days when they can be found easily, which might make it easier. We had quite a struggle finding them. When we finally spotted them, it was like "Let's go!" and everyone jumped in at once (there were also people from other companies), so it got crowded, and I ended up getting kicked by someone’s fin.

But it all became a great memory.

ハワイは６回目！前からこのツアーに参加してみたく、今回ついに参加してきました。

港についたら、ウェットスーツを着用しすぐに船に乗り込みます。
この時期は水温も低いし、船は高速ですのでずーと風にさらされ寒いので借りて
大正解。有料で１０ドルです。ちなみに参加者の全員が借りていました（笑）

出航して、２時間くらい？？探し回りました。最終的にはノースショアの手前まで
北上し探しましたがイルカ先生は全くいる気配がなく、みんなお疲れモード。

そんな時に、クジラに遭遇！この時期にいるのは珍しいとのこと。
思わぬ出会いにみんな喜んでいました。

で、イルカ先生は？仲間の船から、港の近くにいるとの情報が！灯台下暗しですかね。
いっきに南下し、なんとかイルカ先生に会うことができました。
日によっては何百匹といるそうですが、この日は数頭でした。
しかしこの目でハッキリと見ることができたし、近くで泳ぐことができて本当に
良かったです。

その後はシュノーケルポイントに移動して、亀大教授と泳ぐこともできました。
５匹くらいいましたよ。触れるくらい近くまで来てくれました。

スタッフのテンションが終始バカ高いので、そういう学生ノリの賑やかなのが苦手な方は苦痛かも？
しかも結構なスパルタなので、体力に自信のない方、高齢の方には向いてないと思います。ものすごく体力を消耗します。

日によるのかな？？すぐに見つかる日もあるらしいから、そういう日は楽チンなのかも。私達はなかなか見つからず苦労しましたからね。
みつかった瞬間、それいけーーーーって感じで、みんなが一斉に飛び込み（他の会社の連中もいるから）混みあっていて、前の人のフィンで蹴られる始末です。

でも全部がいい想い出になりました。

Excellent adventure. Don't miss it!!

Reviewed by: Stone Family

This was awesome!!! We not only saw dolphins but we saw humpback whales at the end of their migration. They also took us to a reef where we snorkeled with a sea turtle and saw tons of tropical fish. The girls on the boat crew were awesome. Highly educated about the ocean environment and the sea creatures. This was definitely one of the highlights of our Hawaii vacation. Don't miss this activity. Especially if you can do it during the whale migration season. Also, Domingo, our shuttle driver that picked us up from the hotel was a great tour guide as well.

ハナウマ湾シュノーケリング　日本語ガイドが海の世界へご案内＜シュノーケルセット／終日＞

It's okay even if you lack confidence! 自信がない人でも大丈夫！

Reviewed by: SHIO

In October 2012, I participated with my mother. On that day, a seal surprisingly came to the beach! It seemed to be a very rare occurrence, and our guide was excitedly showing us around (*^_^*).

After that, we practiced snorkeling and then headed out to sea☆ The water clarity was reportedly a bit lower than usual, so we might not see any sea turtles... However, the instructor took us further out (he even helped my mother, who was struggling with her fins!) and we finally got to see a sea turtle!

However, it seemed to be quite challenging for my mother, who is in her 50s, and she had to retire partway through. Another instructor took her back to the shore. I was worried that it might have been too tough for her, but she was actually very satisfied, appreciating that someone was there to help her swim, that she got to see the sea turtle, and that she had the reassurance of being able to return early.

Although it is pricier than other snorkeling tours, I absolutely recommend it for beginners♪ And a waterproof camera is a must (laughs).

２０１２年１０月に母と一緒に参加しました。
この日はなんとアザラシが浜辺に来ていました！とても珍しいことらしく、ガイドさんも興奮した様子で案内してくれました(*^_^*)

その後シュノーケリングの練習をして、海へGO☆
海の状態はいつもより少し透明度が低かったらしく、ウミガメに会えないかも・・・とのことでしたが、インストラクターさんがどんどん沖の方まで連れて行ってくれて（フィンが上手く使えない母の手を引っ張って行ってくれました！）ついにウミガメに会うことができました！

しかし、５０代の母には大変だったらしく、途中でリタイア。。もう一人のインストラクターさんが岸まで母を連れて行ってくれました。
母にはきつかったかなーと心配していたら当の本人は手を引いて泳いでくれたことや、ウミガメに会えたこと、途中で帰れるという安心感があったことが良かったらしく大満足していました。

他のシュノーケリングツアーよりは値が張りますが初心者のかたには絶対おすすめです♪
そして水中カメラ必須です（笑）

It was a very enjoyable experience. とても楽しい体験でした

Reviewed by: Karin

I have done snorkeling before, but since I wasn't familiar with the area and my friend was a beginner, we joined a guided tour.

The guides were truly professional and made sure to take care of us so that we wouldn't feel burdened. Of course, we didn't have to stand in line and were able to take a trolley to the bay. It was a day when jellyfish were present, but thanks to the guides who know Hanauma Bay inside and out, we were able to enjoy ourselves without getting stung.

And above all, we got to see sea turtles, which was a dream come true! My friend, who was experiencing this for the first time, felt safe because the guide held her hand the whole time and said, "It was fun." Since the guide was taking care of her, I was also satisfied that I could snorkel freely on my own.

It was a very satisfying tour. I recommend this to anyone who is new to snorkeling or, like me, wants to see sea turtles.

自分はシュノーケリングをやったことがありますが、土地勘がないのと一緒にいった友達が初めてということでガイドつきのツアーに参加しました。

ガイドさん達は本当にプロフェッショナルで、私たちに負担がかからないようにいろいろと気配りをしてくれます。もちろん列に並ぶこともなく、トロリーで湾まで行けます。クラゲが発生していた日でしたが、刺されることなく過ごせたのも全てハナウマ湾を知り尽くしているガイドさん達のおかげだと思います。

そしてなんといっても、ウミガメが見れて念願達成です！初めての友達もガイドさんがずっと手をつないでくれて安心して体験でき、「楽しかった」と言っていました。ガイドさんが彼女を担当してくれたので、私は一人自由にシュノーケリングできたのも満足でした。

とても満足のいくツアーでした。シュノーケリングが初めてな方、私みたいにできたらウミガメが見たい方、参加されることをお勧めします。

3-Hour West Coast Snorkel Cruise & Marine Life Safari by Dolphin Excursions

Just Terrific

Reviewed by: garathome

They pick you up at your hotel and drive you to the west side. They gear you up, they advise you not to touch or chase. You get on the water and if you're lucky, like us, you spot a pair of hump back whales. Then when they locate the dolphin herd, you get to swim among them for about an hour. Then you get to spend almost as much time over a reef, where you can swim with sea turtles and other fish. It was just terrific.

Then you get a decent sandwich and a drink, because you will be hungry after a full morning. Then they drive you back to Waikiki.

Excellent photo disk available to chronicle your trip, at a good price, if you wish. 400 photos of your trip + bonus file with great pics of dolphins, whales, and the area.

Only negative was no changing facility, public restrooms only. Also no bathroom on the boat so be prepared.

Definitely worth the price for this experience.

ウミガメシュノーケリング　ホロカイ・カタマラン号　高確率でウミガメに会えるタートルキャニオンへ！ソフトドリンク&スナック付き＜3時間／英語／ワイキキホテル発＞

It's cold after snorkeling! シュノーケリングの後は寒いよ～

Reviewed by: yoursign

There were only two Japanese families, and the rest were foreigners. The instructor's English had a thick accent (Yankee-style speaking), making it difficult to understand. I could only grasp about half of the meaning. Still, it was not a problem. We snorkeled for about 30 minutes to an hour off the coast of Waikiki. Since we had elementary school children with us, we brought life jackets, snorkels, masks, fins, and marine shoes from Japan. We encountered fish and turtles (honu). Bringing a waterproof camera is the best.

We departed in the morning, and the weather was cloudy with occasional sunshine, so it was cold on the boat after snorkeling. Especially with wet swimsuits and rash guards, it was chilly. It's essential to bring a thick bath towel from the hotel. Foreigners seem fine being naked, though.

After that, we went sailing towards Kahala. It was nice to see the Waikiki Beach hotel group from a different angle offshore. The group photo taken at departure was about $15, roughly the size of B5. It turned out quite nicely. This tour might be a bit tough for children under kindergarten age.

In summary: It's impossible for toddlers to be in the sea without being able to touch the bottom, just with a Styrofoam stick! Life jackets are essential. Bring a bath towel for warmth. And it costs $15.

日本人ファミリーは２組だけでそれ以外は外国人。インストラクターの英語が訛っていて（ヤンキー風しゃべり）聞き取りにくい。半分くらいの意味しかわからず。それでも問題なし。ワイキキの沖合いで３０分から１時間くらいシュノーケリング。うちは小学生もいたので日本からライフベスト、シュノーケル、水中マスク、フィン、マリンシューズを持参。魚や亀（ホヌ）に遭遇。防水カメラ持参がベスト。
朝出発で天候がくもり、時々晴れだったのでシュノーケリングの後は船上では寒いです。特に濡れた水着やラッシュガードは寒い。ホテルから厚手のバスタオル持参が必須。外人は裸でも平気みたいですが。
その後カハラ方面へセーリング。沖合いからのワイキキビーチホテル群がいつもと違う方向から見れて良かったです。
出発時に撮ったグループ写真が確か１５＄。Ｂ５くらいの大きさ。　なかなかきれいに撮れてましたよ。幼稚園児以下はこのツアーは少々きついかも。
総括：足の届かない海に発砲スチロールの棒だけで幼児は無理！ライフベストが必須です。
寒さ対策のバスタオル。　そして１５＄。

初めてのハワイでした。ハナウマ湾でシュノーケルをしたいと思いましたが、なにぶん初めてのなので、達人ガイドさんのプランを選びました。結果、大変満足しています。アランさんと日本人女性のインストラクターさんがいました。夫婦と小学生の子供と4人での参加でした。（他に外人さんの参加者がいました。）まず上の子供が寒がってしまい、途中でリタイヤ。暫くすると下の子供もリタイヤ。私はえええええーーーー、まじ？って思いましたが、インストラクターの方は嫌な顔ひとつせず、応対して下さいました。本当に感謝しています。ありがとうございました。残念ながら、ウミガメは見られませんでしたが、（外人さんの参加者は見られたそうです。）お魚はたくさん見られました。自分たちでは無理だったと思います。ちょうど期間限定のTシャツを頂くことができました。また絶対こちらでお世話になりたいです。その時はよろしくお願いいたします。他のツアーより高くても、私はお勧めです！！！

サンドバー天使の海　シュノーケリング＆ウミガメウォッチクルーズ　船上のBBQグリルで焼くハンバーガーランチ付き！＜午前／日本語クルー＞

It was cold, but I was very satisfied! 寒かったけど、とても満足！

Reviewed by: 今日この頃

I checked the tide levels at the sandbar online in advance and chose this day, so it was disappointing that the temperature was lower than expected and there was a strong wind. However, I still had a wonderful day.

Out of 70 participants, 40 were Japanese (including 10 newlyweds!), and we split into two boats, one with a Japanese guide and the other with an English guide. Since it was a boat with only Japanese people, it felt quite relaxed.

When we arrived at the sandbar and entered the water from the stairs, I was submerged up to my waist. Wow, it was cold! After moving a few meters forward, it quickly became shallow, with the shallowest parts being about ankle-deep. The shallow areas felt somewhat warmer. Here, beginners practiced snorkeling and some enjoyed beach volleyball (it looked tough due to the strong wind).

During this time, the staff actively came to the participants to take photos while guiding us on poses, so we ended up with many memorable pictures. The meal consisted of hamburgers and boiled beans, which were quite delicious.

After eating, we took a tour around an area with many sea turtles (there were a few, but it was difficult to capture the right moment for photos) and moved to a snorkeling point at the coral reef. Due to the cold weather and strong wind, the perceived temperature was quite low, and many people opted out of snorkeling. However, I decided to give it a try since I had bought a waterproof camera that can be used at depths of 15 meters for this day.

Equipped with a life jacket and mask, I entered the water, but I was overwhelmed by the coldness for a while. However, I soon got used to it. The staff threw food from the boat, attracting a lot of fish.

It was my first time snorkeling, but I was pleasantly surprised at how well I managed. Once we finished and got back on the boat, the wind blew through, and my body temperature dropped quickly. "Whoa! It's cold!" It felt much warmer in the water. After being advised by the guide, I changed out of my wet clothes into dry ones, which made me feel much better.

I brought a rash guard and reef boots, but the reef boots were unnecessary, and going barefoot was fine. I didn't buy a hoodie, but I think it would have been a good idea.

事前にサンドバーの潮位をネットで調べてこの日にしたので、気温が思っていたより低くて強い風も吹いていたのは残念でしたが、それでも楽しい一日を満喫できました。
参加者70人中日本人が40人（その中に新婚さん10組！）という構成で、日本語ガイド船と英語ガイド船の２隻に分かれて出航しました。
日本人だけの船なので、まあ気楽と言えば気楽です。
サンドバーに着いて、階段から海に入ると腰のあたりまでドボンと浸かりました。うぁ～冷たい！
数メートル前進すると、すぐ浅くなって・・一番浅いところはくるぶし程度です。浅いところは、多少暖かく感じます。ここで、シュノーケル初心者は練習をしたり、ビーチバレーに興じたり（風が強いので、大変そうでした）。
この間、スタッフの方が積極的に参加者の所に来て（ポーズを指導して）撮影してくれるので、思い出深い記念の写真が沢山出来ました。
食事は、ハンバーガーと煮豆？なかなか美味しかったです。
食後は、ウミガメが多いエリアをぐるっと回って（数匹いましたが、撮影タイミングは難しいです）、シュノーケリングを行う珊瑚礁のポイントに移動です。
この日は、寒くて風も強かったために体感温度はかなり低く、シュノーケリングをパスする人もかなりありましたが、折角なので私は頑張る事にしました。そう！この日のために、水深15mまで使えるデジカメを購入して来たのですから・・。
ライフジャケットとマスク類の装備を身につけて海に入ったものの、水の冷たさにしばらく圧倒されていましたが、その内慣れてきました。船上から餌をまいてくれたので、魚がすごく集まって来ます。
初めてのシュノーケリングでしたが、思ったより上手く出来てちょっと嬉しくなってしまいました。
終わって、船上に上がると風が吹き抜けて一気に体温が下がりました「うお～！寒い」海の中の方がよほど暖かかったように思えます・・ガイドさんに言われて、濡れている物を脱いで乾いた服に着替えたら、だいぶ楽になりました。
私はラッシュガードやリーフブーツを用意して行きましたが、リーフブーツは不要で裸足でOKでした。
パーカーは買わなかったのですが、あった方が良いと思いました。

I was very moved to see the dolphins! Unfortunately, I didn't see any sea turtles, but I guess that's just how nature is. The energy is really high, so I think those who can keep up will have a great time. However, I might not recommend it for those who want a more peaceful experience...

イルカが見られたのはとても感動しました！残念ながらウミガメは見られませんでしたが自然相手なのでしょうがないかなと思います。
テンションがすごく高い感じなのでそれについていける人はとっても楽しと思います。静かな感じで楽しみたい人にはあまりお勧めできないかも・・・。

I managed to swim somehow. 何とか泳げました

Reviewed by: きしーー

We had a hard time finding dolphins and only spotted a group of six just in the nick of time. We finally went snorkeling, but we couldn't swim with them properly. We were disappointed as we had to head back due to time constraints, but thanks to the driver's consideration, we got a second chance. During the second attempt, we were able to swim quite close to them and had a great time.

なかなかイルカが見つからず、時間ギリギリで六頭だけの群れを発見。ようやくシュノーケルをしましたが、ちゃんと一緒に泳げず。時間が無いので帰るということになりガッカリしましたが、運転手の計らいで再度のチャレンジ。二回目はかなり近くで泳ぐことが出来て、楽しむことができました。

The tour provided a thorough explanation in Japanese, and the guide had a great sense of humor. Although there were about 20 people on the tour, we quickly became friendly through activities like beach volleyball and sea turtle watching. The ocean was beautiful, with visible coral reefs and many fish. I went in February, and while it was a bit windy and cold at times, the staff thoughtfully prepared warm drinks for us. The hamburgers for lunch were also very delicious! It was a truly memorable tour!

ツアーでは日本語で丁寧に解説してくれて、ガイドの方もとてもユーモアがあり、また２０人くらいでのツアーですが、ビーチバレーやウミガメウォッチングなどで仲良く慣れます☆海もとても綺麗で、サンゴ礁も見えたしたくさんの魚もいました(^O^)二月に行ったのですが、少し風が強く寒いと感じることもありましたが、スタッフの方が気を利かせて暖かい飲み物を用意してくれます。昼食のハンバーガーもとても美味しい！！！！とっても心に残るツアーでした！！

An experience of a lifetime!

Such an amazing experience! The staff were really helpful and friendly and knew a lot about the animals we would be seeing. We got to snorkel with a pod of dolphins for about an hour - an hour and a half, which was fantastic and then they took us to another snorkel reef spot where we saw about 5 sea turtles ! Would definitely recommend it !

I was worried about whether I could wake up properly since we had an early morning meeting, but I did my best to meet Dolphin Sensei. It takes about an hour by car, but the staff member, Julie, was so entertaining that we arrived in no time.

Since it's cold this season, we rented wet suits (for a fee) and set off! Along the way, we encountered sea turtles and whales. Several times!!

However, I was feeling down because we couldn't meet Dolphin Sensei. But the staff worked hard to find them, and in the end, we were able to swim with the dolphins. I'm grateful to the staff for their perseverance.

The mother and baby dolphins were so cute!

朝早い時間の集合だったので、ちゃんと起きられるか不安でいたが、
イルカ先生に会うためにがんばりました。
車で１時間くらいのところなのですが、車中ではスタッフのジュリさんのトークがおもしろくて
あっという間に着きます。

この時期は寒いのでウエットスーツを借りて（有料）出港！
途中ウミガメ、クジラに遭遇しました。何回も！！

しかし、肝心のイルカ先生には会えなくて、ブルーになっていました。
が、スタッフの方が一生懸命さがしてくださり、最後イルカと一緒におよぐことができました。
根気強くさがしてくれたスタッフに感謝です。

親子のイルカ、かわいかたなぁ

Off Waikiki Beach.
Even though we only went out to where we could see the coastline, we were able to see sea turtles swimming.
I've experienced snorkeling in various countries, but this was my first encounter with sea turtles.
It was truly amazing, and my son was thrilled as well.

There are no life jackets available for rent.
They do provide foam sticks that can be used for underwater relaxation therapy.
I recommend that those who are not confident swimmers bring their own floaties or similar items.
Especially during this time of year, the waves are high and swimming can be difficult.

While sailing, if you are at the front of the yacht, you might get splashed with water.
Be careful in winter as it can be cold.

ワイキキビーチ沖。
海岸が見えるくらいまでしか出ていないのにウミガメが泳ぐ姿を見ることができました。
シュノーケリングは色々な国の海で経験していますがウミガメとの遭遇は初めてでした。
もう大感動です。息子も大喜びでした。

ライフベストの貸し出しはありません。
水中リラクゼーションエステ？で使うような発砲スチロールの棒は貸してくれます。
泳ぎに自信のない方はご自分で浮き輪など用意されることをお勧めします。
特に今の時期は波も高く泳ぎにくいので。

セーリング中はヨットの前方に居ると水をかぶってしまいます。
冬は寒いので要注意です。

Angel's Sea 天使の海

Reviewed by: alice

The island wasn't completely exposed; at the shallowest point, the water was up to my ankles, but it was beautiful and fun enough. I enjoyed beach volleyball and snorkeling, and the lunch was very delicious. It was also lucky to encounter sea turtles while moving by boat. As an optional tour, I was quite satisfied, but the air conditioning on the shuttle bus from the port back to the hotel was too strong, making it tough on my chilled body after coming out of the sea. Other participants were also shivering and saying it was cold. I recommend bringing something like a thicker hoodie to wear.

It's a tour I would like to experience at least once.

島が完全に出ていた訳ではなく、1番浅いところで
くるぶし位まであったけど、充分綺麗で楽しかったです。
ビーチバレーやシュノーケリングも楽しかったし、ランチも大変美味しかったです。
船で移動中に海亀達に遭遇したのも、ラッキーでした。
オプショナルツァーとしては、充分満足でしたが、
帰りの港からホテルへの送迎バスのエアコンが効きすぎていて、海から上がって冷えた身体には、厳しかったです。
他の参加者も寒い寒いと震えていました。
少し厚めのパーカーなど、はおれるものを持参する事をお勧めします。

一度は行ってみたいツァーです。

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

My child wanted to go, so we participated. The sandbar was not completely exposed due to the tidal changes at that time.

The water was up to my knees.

The staff was quick and attentive to safety. It was cold, so my child was taken onto the boat partway through, but they continued to check if he was warm enough, which I appreciated.

I think it might depend on the season, but I would like to look into when the sandbar is fully exposed and participate again.

子供が行って見たいと言って参加しました。
サンドバーがやはりと言うか時間帯による潮の満ちひきなので完全に砂浜にはなってませんでした。

膝までつかる状態でした。

スタッフの対応はキビキビしていて安全に配慮して頂いてました。寒かったので子供は途中からボートに上げてもらってましたが、その後も寒くないか気に掛けてもらっていて有難かったです^^

時期にもよるのかと思いますが砂浜が完全に出る状態のときを調べてまた参加したいと思います。
