Snorkeling was my first experience, and I was filled with anxiety since I hadn't exercised in a while. However, Alan taught us carefully from the beginning, and I was able to enjoy it without any pressure. He took us out to areas we wouldn't have been able to reach on our own, and we even got to see two sea turtles! It was truly fun and became a wonderful memory. Thank you very much.
シュノーケリングは初めての経験で、また運動もしばらくしていなかったので不安でいっぱいでしたが、アランさんが一から丁寧に教えて下さり、無理なく楽しめることが出来ました。
自分たちでは行けそうにない沖の方まで連れて行ってくださり、海ガメも2匹見ることができました!
本当に楽しく、とても良い想い出になりました。
ありがとうございました。

The day before participating in this activity, my son got injured, so we reluctantly gave up on snorkeling and played at the water's edge instead. My two daughters, who were not injured, could swim, so they spoke to Allen and Yuto about the situation, and they kindly took them snorkeling. It seems my daughters had a lot of fun seeing many fish. However, the water was cold, and perhaps because they were away from me, they came back after a while. Next time, I hope everyone can participate in good health and see lots of fish.
このアクティビティに参加する前日に、息子が怪我をしてしまったため、仕方なくシュノーケルはあきらめて波打ち際で遊んでいました。怪我をしていない娘達2人は泳げるので、アレンさんやユウトさんに事情を話してシュノーケルに連れて行ってもらいました。快く引き受けてくださいました。娘達は、たくさんの魚が見れてとても楽しかったようです。ただ水が冷たく、私とも離れていたせいか、ある程度で引き上げてきてしまいました。
今度は、全員元気な状態で参加し、たくさんの魚たちをみたいです。

It’s incredibly soothing. The endless horizon, the white sandy beach, the sound of the waves, the townscape—everything is just perfect. I only had time to visit Kailua Beach, but the guide mentioned that Lanikai has its own unique charm as well. Next time I go, I’d like to make the trip to Lanikai.
Most of the staff are Japanese, but almost all the foreign staff are fluent in Japanese, so you can participate with peace of mind.
とにかく癒されます。どこまでも続く水平線、白い砂浜、波の音、街並み、すべて最高です。カイルアビーチしか時間がなくていけませんでしたが、ラニカイもまた違った良さがあるとガイドが言ってました。次に行くときはラニカイまで足を運んでみたいと思います。
スタッフも日本人スタッフがほとんどですが、外国人スタッフもほぼ全員日本語がペラペラですので、安心して参加できます。

On September 20th, our family of four, including a 4-year-old and an 8-year-old, participated in the morning session. After coming out of the sea, it was a bit chilly, so we needed something to cover ourselves. The staff explained everything in Japanese, which made it easy to understand. They provided life jackets for the kids, so there was no need to worry even if they couldn't swim. The DVD they filmed for a fee was well-edited and became a wonderful family memory. We also got to see sea turtles, the food was delicious, and the staff had a bright atmosphere, making it a fun experience.

I participated in a tour on September 21, 2011.
On the day of the tour, it was very windy and quite chilly, and the water was murky, making it nearly impossible to see anything while snorkeling.
If it was just visibility issues, it would have been one thing, but the high waves due to the wind were very frightening.
First, we went out a bit offshore by yacht and boat for turtle watching. I was thrilled to encounter a sea turtle.
After that, we moved on and got off the boat to walk in the water towards the sandbar. Depending on the tide, I think, the white sandy beach we saw in pictures wasn't as prominent.
After taking plenty of photos at the sandbar, we returned to the boat for lunch. This was satisfying. We had sandwiches, salad, fruit, and cookies, which were quite filling. The tour organizers also offer photos for an additional fee, and you can receive the data that evening.
After a break, it was finally time for snorkeling. Despite the cold and strong winds causing some people to give up, I managed to return to the boat safely thanks to the support of the instructor, but I was filled with fear due to the high waves.
I realized that this tour is heavily influenced by the weather. I think the timing was just right.
2011/09/21にツアーに参加しました。
当日は風が強く、とても肌寒く水中は濁っているしシュノーケリングの際ほぼ何も見えませんでした。
見えないだけなら、まだしも風のせいで波が高くとても怖かったです。
まず、少し沖の方までヨットやボートで行き、ウミガメウォッチング。
ウミガメには出会う事ができ、感激です。
その後移動をし、船から降りて海の中を歩きながらサンドバーまで行きますが、潮の満ち引きにもよるとは思いますが写真で見たほど白い砂浜はでていませんでした。
サンドバーでひとしきり写真を撮ったあとは、船に戻り、ランチタイムです。
これは満足でした。
サンドイッチやサラダ、フルーツ、クッキーボリューミーです。
写真はツアー主催者側でも別料金で写真を映してくれます。
データとして当日の晩には渡してもらえます。
一息ついて、いよいよシュノーケリング。
寒さと、強風でリタイヤ者の出る中、なんとかインストラクターのサポートのおかげで無事には船に戻れましたが、波も高く恐怖感でいっぱいでした。
天候にかなり左右されるツアーだと実感しました。
時間的には丁度良いと思います。

I chose the early morning plan, so the time was short and it felt a bit pricey, but the water was up to my shins and the view was 360 degrees of the ocean! It was very beautiful... I think it's a sight you can't see in Japan.
The crew was very cheerful and made the atmosphere on the boat enjoyable as well.
You might not want to have high expectations for turtle watching. You can see them somewhat from the boat, but it's not very clear.
I did some research on the tide information in advance and chose a date close to low tide, which was great. However, it seems that tours are also held close to high tide. There might be times when the water is up to your waist when you go, so please be careful when selecting your date (especially if you are bringing small children).
早朝プランにしたので時間が短く少し割高感はありましたが、海面はスネぐらいまでで360度うみ!とてもきれいでした・・・。日本では見れない景色だと思います。
クルーの方もとても陽気に盛り上げてくれ、船上も楽しかったです。
ウミガメウォッチングはあまり期待しないほうがいいかもしれません。船上からなんとなく見えるなぁ、といった具合です。
潮の情報を事前に調べて、干潮に近い日程を選んだのでとてもよかったですが、満潮に近い日でもツアー開催しているようです。行ってみたら股下ぐらいまで水があった・・・、なんてこともあるようですので、日程選ぶ際はお気をつけ下さい。(小さいお子さんを連れられる場合は特に)

I arrived in Hawaii in the morning and participated in an afternoon tour.
I was worried about the heavy rain before moving by boat, but the weather changed frequently, and by the time we got into the water, it was sunny and warm. The depth of the sandbar was about knee-deep. There was a friendly sea turtle. I thought I could only watch it from the boat since touching it would incur a hefty fine. However, it came close without being afraid of humans and even bumped into me lightly!
The guide was cheerful and lively, making it a fun honeymoon trip!!

I participated last October and personally found the seawater to be very cold, so this time, since it was September, I was really looking forward to it. Last time I joined the afternoon session, but this time I discovered the different charm of the morning session.
The result was... rain. While Waikiki was sunny, once we crossed the mountain, it was pouring rain (laughs). Before even worrying about the cold seawater, I was soaked and freezing! I was a bit anxious that it might get canceled, but we set sail in the rain! We did some turtle watching in light rain and saw about 2 or 3 turtles. By the time we arrived at the sandbar, it was raining even more. We went out in our swimsuits, but it was cold! Some people on the tour were smartly wearing jackets while walking on the sandbar. I thought that was the right choice. When the sunlight peeked through the clouds, it felt really nice. The seawater was warmer than last year, which was a bit of relief amidst the cold rain on my upper body.
Next was snorkeling. What surprised me was how the sea turtles were unusually friendly! They are protected by law and should never be touched, but they actually came up to us (laughs). While snorkeling, they swam alongside us the whole time, and it was truly a precious experience!
Despite the on-and-off rain and feeling cold, it ultimately became a wonderful memory for me and my two friends!!!
私は去年10月に参加して個人的に凄く海水が冷たく感じたので、今回は9月という事もあり、とても期待して参加しました。前回は午後の部、今回は午前の部と違った良さを発見できました。
結果は.....雨。。。ワイキキは晴れていましたが、山を越えるとすっかりどしゃぶりでした(笑 海水が冷たいとかいう以前に雨にぬれて凄く寒いっ。もしかして中止になるのかと少々不安になりましたが、雨の中出航!!やや小雨の中海亀ウォッチング。2~3匹見れました。サンドバーに着いた頃にはさらに雨。。。水着で繰り出しましたが、寒い!!ツアーの中にはしっかり上着を着てサンドバーを歩いている方もいました。正解だと思いました。途中雲の隙間から太陽の光が出てきたときはとても気持ち良かったです。肝心な海水は去年より温かく、雨で上半身が寒い中少し助かりました。続いてはシュノーケル。ここで驚いたのが異常にに人に寄り付いてくるウミガメがっ!?法律で守られていて決して触ってはいけないとされているカメですが、むしろ向こうからぶつかってきます(笑 シュノーケル中、終始一緒に泳ぎ、それはそれは貴重な体験をさせていただきました!
降ったり止んだりな雨の中、寒い思いもしましたが、結果的に友達2人でとても良い思い出になりました!!!

I participated on September 17th. I was very impressed by the sandbar that suddenly appears in the middle of the ocean! Unfortunately, it was a cloudy day, so it was a bit cold, but I had a great time. The water was about mid-calf at the shallowest point. I think it would have been even more amazing if I could have participated during low tide when the sand is fully exposed. The staff were all cheerful and energetic, making it a fun experience, and the hamburgers for lunch were very delicious. We were also able to see sea turtles here and there, making it a highly satisfying tour that I recommend. Since the waves are calm, I think even beginners in snorkeling can enjoy it.
9/17参加しました。海の真ん中に突然現れるサンドバーには非常に感動しました!当日生憎の曇り空だったので、寒かったのですが楽しかったです。水は一番浅いところでふくらはぎの真ん中位でした。完全に砂が露出する引潮時に参加できたらもっと感動的だったんだろうな、と思います。スタッフはみな明るくてテンションが高く、楽しませてくれますし、ランチのハンバーガーもとても美味しかったです。ウミガメもあちこちに見ることができ、非常に満足できるツアーでお勧めです。波が穏やかな場所なので、シュノーケル初心者の方でも楽しめると思います。

I participated in mid-September. The staff were friendly, and I had a fun experience.
The summer-only early morning course follows this flow: "Boat → Walk on the sandbar → Snorkeling → Breakfast."
However, it can be quite cold in the morning. Once you get into the water, it's manageable, but due to the strong wind, it can be quite uncomfortable when you come out wet. Even without that, if you go with a summer mindset, it feels chilly. (At one point, all the participants were hesitant.)
Make sure to bring something to protect against the wind, or you can borrow a wetsuit.
Also, you need to pay attention to the tides, as there can be times when the water level is quite high.
It's safer to bring a waterproof camera, or you can bring a waterproof case.
There are apparently friendly sea turtles around, and you can often encounter them. (This time, one came quite close to us.)
The price seems a bit on the higher side, but overall, I think it's a good tour.
9月中旬に参加しました。
スタッフの方は感じが良く、楽しく体験出来ました。
夏限定の早朝コースは、
「船→サンドバーで歩く→スノーケリング→朝ご飯」
という流れ。
ただし、朝は結構寒いです。
海に入ってしまえばまだなんとかなるレベルなのですが、
風が強いため、濡れた後に出るとかなり堪えますし、
そうでなくても夏感覚で行くと肌寒いです。
(途中までは参加者がみんなひいていました)
ちゃんと風を防ぐものを持って行くか、
ウェットスーツを貸して下さるのでそれを利用。
また、潮の満ち引きをよく見て行かないと、
普通に水位の高い時もあるようです。
カメラは防水のものを持って行く方が安心して使えます。
あるいは防水ケースを持参。
懐いているウミガメがいるらしく、
ウミガメには結構会える雰囲気。
(今回も、間近にきてくれました)
値段はやや高めの設定な気はしますが、
総じて良いツアーだと思います。

Since it was my first time snorkeling, I opted for a guided tour. I participated in the morning session on September 12th. It wasn't as cold as I expected, probably because I wore a long-sleeved rash guard.
With four couples and two guides (one at the front and one at the back), I felt safe while swimming. The guides were Alan, who spoke Japanese, and a Japanese man in his twenties. They pointed out various sights, saying things like, "That's a ○○ blenny," and "Look, a sea lion is popping its head up! How rare! Lucky!!" I think the presence of the guides made the experience enjoyable.
When we arrived, there was a line at the ticket booth, but the guide had prepared everything in advance, so we were able to join the tour with hardly any wait. (For those with time constraints, it might be okay even if you're not a beginner...)
What to bring: an entrance fee of $7.5 per person (plus a tip), a bath towel, a camera (waterproof is better), and if possible, a small bottle of mineral water (for drinking during the trip or before swimming... snacks and water provided by the tour were given out after swimming), and I don't think anything else is necessary. After swimming, there was a simple outdoor shower to rinse off sand and seawater, and I changed at the hotel, so I didn't need a change of clothes.
We had a light meal in the morning before participating, so it was fine for us, but those who hadn't eaten seemed to get hungry during the tour, so it might be a good idea to bring some crackers just in case.
初めてのシュノーケリングだったので、ガイド付にしました。9/12の午前の部に参加しました。長袖のラッシュガードだったからか思ったより寒くなかったです。
カップル4組に2人のガイド(先頭と最後にガイド)で安心して泳ぐことができました。ガイドは日本語ができるアランさんと20代の日本人の男性で「あれは○○ヤガラだよ」と魚の名前や「アザラシが顔を出してるよ!珍しい!ラッキー!!」と色んな見所を教えてくれました。ガイドがいるからこそ楽しむことができた内容だと思います。また到着した時に入場券売り場に列ができていましたがガイドの人が事前に用意してくれてほとんど待つことなく参加できました。(時間に制限がある人は初心者でなくてもよいかも…)
持参物は入場料$7.5/人(+αチップ~)、バスタオル、カメラ(防水だとよりGood)とあれば小さいミネラルウォーター(行きの移動中や泳ぐ前飲みたい時に…ツアーに付いているスナックや水は泳いだ後に配られていたので)があればあとはいらないと思います。現地では泳いだ後は簡易シャワーで簡単に砂や海水を洗い流すだけでホテルに戻ってから着替えたので着替えはいりませんでした。
私たちは朝、簡単に食事を済ませて参加したので大丈夫でしたが、食べてない人は途中お腹がすいたみたいなので食べなかった人はクラッカー程度持参しておくと安心かもしれません。

A Japanese female guide was fun to talk to, and the crew members were also lively, making our time on the boat enjoyable.
サンドバーのイメージ写真と実際が違いました
海水が浅いところで股下あたり
3歳の娘も行きましたがライフジャケットを身に着けないといけないくらいでした
でもとても海と空が綺麗で気分が抜ける感じがしました
船上からですがウミガメも沢山いましたよ
ガイドの日本人女性が楽しくお話をしてくれ、同乗のクルーのノリも良かったので船の中も楽しく過ごしました

We booked our first tour in Honolulu for a family trip. We aimed for low tide, and the timing and weather were perfect. The clarity of the ocean was stunning. We spotted a few turtles from the boat at a distance. However, it was unfortunate that my son injured his foot on the coral while snorkeling. It might be safer to wear water shoes.
I was a bit taken aback by the old restroom facilities and the lack of paper, but considering there was only one Japanese woman managing a large number of participants, it might have been unavoidable.
家族旅行で初ホノルルで最初のツアーとして申し込みました。引き潮を狙い、タイミングも気候もばっちりでした。海のきれいさは圧巻。カメさん探しは船上から遠目に何匹かの甲羅と顔を拝みました。ただ、シュノーケリングの時、サンゴで息子が足をけがしたのが残念でした。水中用の靴をはいていた方が無難かもしれません。
途中休憩のトイレの古さとペーパーレスには慌ててしまいましたが、大勢の参加者に対し、日本女性が1人で対応していたので行き届かないことも致し方ないのかもしれません。

Thank you for joining us. We are sorry that you were unable to see many wild sea turtles on the day of your visit. Our captain tries to take you to the best spots for wild sea turtles based on the sea conditions that day, but please understand that the number of turtles you can see may vary from day to day due to the nature of wildlife. Additionally, as you mentioned, the water depth of the sandbar changes with the tides and seasons, but we appreciate your understanding that tours are conducted daily, excluding Sundays, holidays, and special occasions. We look forward to welcoming you again.
ご参加いただき有難うございます。当日はあまり野生のウミガメをご確認いただけず残念に思っております。船長がその日の海の状況を見て、野生のウミガメがいるベストスポットへご案内させていただくようにしておりますが、自然の生き物のため、日によりご覧いただける回数や頭数は変化しておりますことご了承ください。また、おっしゃるとおり潮の満ち引きや季節によりサンドバーの水深は変化しておりますが、ツアーは日曜・祭日・祝日を覗き毎日催行しておりますこともご理解いただけましたら幸いです。またのお越しお待ちしております。
