Captain Bob's Kaneohe Sandbar Snorkeling Tour & BBQ Lunch with Waikiki Pickup

Great to get out of Waikiki!

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

This was my second time on Oahu, and the first trip I mostly spent all my time in and around Waikiki. This tour was great in that it got me all the way to the other side of the island for a change of pace.

That side of the island....they called it Kaneohe Bay I think, man, it was beautiful. The water was so clear, and I got to see all kinds of fish I had never seen before too.

I didn't want to spend a ton of money either, and so this was a good deal for the price, as lunch was part of it...and tasted good too! The people were nice and helpful, and the sandbar was probably my favorite part. Good tour.

Sandbar and sea turtle snorkeling サンドバーとウミガメシュノーケル

Reviewed by: びび

On June 21st, a bus picked us up at the hotel at 8:30 AM. Several couples boarded the bus from the same meeting point. After that, we visited three locations with a total of 18 passengers heading to our destination. Along the way, we made a five-minute restroom stop at a park near the destination, and then we arrived at the intended port.

With two buses, we had a total of 45 people boarding the boat. The crew was mostly Japanese, so there were no language concerns. The captain in the yellow T-shirt in the first photo is Mr. Hasegawa. After leaving the port, the boat took almost ten minutes to reach the sandbar. It was so close that there was no time to get seasick. During that time, our guide, Izumi, provided various instructions. Just before we arrived at our destination, we encountered a swimming turtle. I spotted three turtles.

When we arrived at the destination, it looked like this... (fourth photo)! Due to the tides, it may not always be possible to visit at low tide. This time, the water was about knee-deep. We walked around for about 20 minutes before returning to the boat, where half of the group went snorkeling while the rest had a meal. We were part of the meal group. There was more food than we could eat, and everyone was more than satisfied with the amount.

When we started snorkeling, a baby sea turtle approached us. It seemed accustomed to humans and climbed onto the guide's bodyboard. After that, it swam around us.

The snorkeling around the coral had a limited number of fish, which might be a bit disappointing for experienced divers. Since we were wearing life jackets, we couldn't dive.

The snorkeling lasted about 15 minutes. After that, we returned to the boat and headed back to the port.

During that time, the only girl on the boat was chosen by the captain to hold the helm next to him. She seemed nervous, but it was a great experience for her.

While not everything was perfect, the guides had a genuine desire to entertain us, making it an enjoyable tour. It would have been even better if the weather had been nice.

6月21日朝8時半にホテルにピックアップのバスが来た。
同じ集合場所からは数組みのカップルの方がバスに乗り込んだ。その後3か所を回り18名の乗員で目的地に向かった。
途中、トイレ休憩で目的地そばの公園に5分ぐらい止まり、
その後目的の港に着いた。
２台のバスで総勢４５名になり船に乗り込んだ。
クルーはほぼ日本人の方々で言葉は心配ない。
１枚目の写真の黄色のＴシャツのキャプテンは長谷川さんと言う。
船は港を出た後・・・目的地のサンドバーまでほぼ１０分。
船酔いなどしている暇もないぐらい近い。
その間、ガイドのいずみさんが色々諸注意を話してくれた。
目的地に着く寸前、カメが泳いでいるのに遭遇。私は３頭のカメを見つけた。
目的地に着き降りるとこんな感じ・・・４枚目！干満の関係で１００％干潮時に行けない場合もあると言う事だ。
今回は膝の下ぐらいでした。
散歩を２０分ぐらいして船に戻り、半分の方がシュノーケル。残りの人は食事となった。我々は食事の組み。
食事は食べきれないほどあり、だれもが十分満足できる量だった。
次にシュノーケルを始める時、子どものウミガメが我々に近寄ってきた。
人間に慣れているようで、ガイドの方のボディーボードへ乗っかってきた。
その後、我々の周りを回っていた。

サンゴの周辺のシュノーケルは魚影はこの程度でもぐった体験者にはちょっと物足りないかな？
ライフジャケットを着ているので・・・潜る事は出来ない。

シューノーケルは１５分ぐらいだったかな？
その後船に戻って港に戻った。

その際、船に一人しかいなかった娘が船長に指名されて、
キャプテンの横で舵を持たせてもらった。
本人は緊張していたようだが・・・よい経験をさせていただきました。

全てＯＫではないが、ガイドの方々の楽しませようという気持ちがあり。楽しめるツアーになっている。
天気が良ければもっと良いだろう。

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＞

I'm tired, but there are lots of beautiful fish. 疲れたけど　綺麗なお魚がいっぱい　

Reviewed by: あげぃん

We participated with two parents and two friends. My mother seemed to think that places where her feet couldn't touch the ground were "scary!!", but when we arrived at Hanauma Bay, she was captivated by the beautiful scenery.

The two friends mentioned that they only swim occasionally in the pool for exercise and found the ocean where their feet couldn't touch to be frightening. However, the Japanese guide explained in detail how to wear masks and other things, and we first practiced in a place where we could stand.

Even in shallow areas, we could see beautiful fish, and as we got used to it, the fear seemed to lessen. The guide pointed out where the fish were, but since we weren't used to the mask's field of vision, we were a bit confused, asking, "Where are they?" Nevertheless, we were able to see many fish. They took us to places where we normally wouldn't be able to stand, and even though it was my first snorkeling experience, my desire to come back grew.

They told us, "We swam for 1.5 hours!" Perhaps because there were no breaks, I felt exhausted when we walked back up from the beach.

As we took a breather after getting out of the water, someone said, "It's tough on the legs~ Is it because of our age? It's probably due to lack of exercise~" We laughed and regained our energy with the water and snacks provided by Alan.

*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
The fee included watching an environmental protection video and the ride to the beach, so it was really appreciated that we didn't have to walk back up the hill, making it much easier.
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

親子二人と、そのお友達２人で参加させていただきました。
母は足がつかない所は「オッカナイ！！」と思っている
ようでしたがハナウマ湾に到着すると素敵な風景に魅入られた様子でした。

お友達　２人は運動のためにプールでたまに泳ぐ程度で
足がつかない海はこわいな~」と言っていましたが
日本人のガイドの方にマスクなどのつけ方など詳しく
教えてもらいまずは足が着く所で練習をしました。

浅いところでも綺麗なお魚を見ることができだんだん
慣れてきたせいか怖さも和らいで来ましたがお魚が居る所を
指さしてくれるのですがマスクの視界に慣れていないせいか
「どこにいるの？」といった感じでしたがたくさんのお魚を
見ることが出来ました。
普段なら足が着ないような所にも連れていってくれ初シューノケリングでしたが
また来たい気持ちが膨らみました。

「1.5時間も泳いでいたんだよ~」と教えてくれ
途中休憩がなかったからかもしれませんが浜から上がって歩くときに疲れがどっと来ました。

浜から上がって一息ついていると誰だったか
　「足にくるね~　やっぱお年頃（年齢が高い）から？　
　　普段の運動不足だから~」と談笑しアランさんから頂いたお水、スナックで元気を取戻しました。

*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
環境保護のビデオを見る所から
浜辺までの乗り物に乗る料金込みだったので
特に帰りの坂道を徒歩でなく楽が出来たのはとってもありがたかったですｙ。

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＞

It was amazing!!! 最高でした！！！

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I participated with a group. It was far from Waikiki, and since it was early in the morning, I originally didn't plan to go, but one of the members wanted to, so I joined them. I had seen reviews mentioning that there might be times when you don't encounter dolphins, so I thought I would enjoy snorkeling even if it didn't work out, and I participated without expectations. However, it was far more enjoyable than I had imagined.

Instead of a snorkeling experience where you lure fish with feeding, I was able to see real wild fish, and above all, I encountered a surprising number of dolphins and sea turtles. When I was peering into the ocean, I was so engrossed that I lost track of time. I made wonderful memories on my first trip to Hawaii.

Since it was early in the morning, most people were fast asleep on the way back, but we were able to return to Waikiki by early afternoon, so we could enjoy shopping and other activities afterward.

I would definitely like to participate again the next time I come to Hawaii.

グループで参加しました。
ワイキキから遠く、朝早いということもあり、もともと行く予定はなかったのですが、メンバーの一人が行きたいということで付き合いで参加しました。
口コミを見ていて、イルカに出会えないこともあるということでしたので、はずれでもシュノーケルを楽しもうと思い期待せずに参加したのですが、、、。
想像していたのをはるかに超える楽しさでした。
餌付けをして魚をおびき寄せるようなシュノーケルではなく本当の自然の魚たちを見ることができましたし、なによりイルカやウミガメにびっくりするくらいたくさん出会えました。海の中を覗いているときは時間を忘れてしまうぐらい夢中になっていました。
初めてのハワイですごく良い思い出ができました。
朝が早いということもあり、帰りの車ではほとんどの人が爆睡でしたが、お昼過ぎにはワイキキに戻ってくることができるので、そのあともゆっくり買い物などを楽しめます。

次にハワイに来るときには、またぜひ参加したいです。

カイルアビーチ送迎シャトルサービス　嬉しい5時間滞在！ビーチグッズなど各種レンタル付き＜日本語スタッフ／ランチ付＞

You can freely enjoy Kailua. カイルアを自由に楽しめます

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

We participated as a couple and chose this tour because it offers longer free time compared to other tours, along with a good price and lockers. I had been to Kailua once before, but this time I wanted to visit "Boots & Kimo's," famous for its pancakes, and hoped to explore Kailua Town as well.

After arriving in Kailua, I debated whether to bike or walk, and ultimately decided to walk to Boots & Kimo's, which took about 20 minutes. I got pancakes to-go and enjoyed them for breakfast on the beach, and they were incredibly delicious!

Kailua has such beautiful waters! Waikiki is nice too, but coming here feels completely different. On the day we participated, there were many small waves, which didn't seem ideal for boogie boarding, but my husband was able to see a turtle while swimming. You can also rent snorkeling gear, so I think it's good to check the wave conditions before deciding.

After spending about an hour in Kailua, we rented bikes (Kailua Sailboards & Kayaks offers rentals for tour participants at around $11 each) and headed to the neighboring Lanikai Beach. Lanikai Beach has a milky emerald sea! The beauty of the ocean alone lifts your spirits. The last time I walked to Lanikai Beach, I was exhausted, so I recommend biking instead.

For lunch, we could choose between a boxed lunch or pizza, and I opted for the pizza recommended by the staff. I was surprised at how big it was!

The four hours flew by. With the long free time, we could visit the town and Lanikai, making it a great option for repeat visitors. There are Japanese staff members, and the presence of lockers, restrooms, and changing rooms adds to the overall sense of security, making it a very good experience.

夫婦で参加しましたが、自由時間が他のツアーよりも長い＆価格＆ロッカー付きということでこちらのツアーに決めました。
以前にも１度カイルアにいったことがありましたが、今回はパンケーキが有名な「ブーツアンドキモズ」にも行ってみたくカイルアタウンにもいけたらなと思っていました。

カイルアに到着後自転車か徒歩か悩んだ末、徒歩でブーツアンドキモズへ行ってみましたが、歩いても20分くらいでした。
パンケーキをTOGOしてビーチで朝食にいただきましたがすごく美味しかったです！！

カイルアはとても綺麗な海です！ワイキキもきれいだけど、こちらに来ると、全然ちがうな~と感じました。
参加した日は小さい波が沢山くるような感じで、ブギーボードはあまり適してなかったように感じましたが、旦那さんは普通に泳いでいたら亀をみれたようです。シュノーケルのセットもレンタルもできるので、波の状態を見てきめるのも良いと思います。
１時間ほどカイルアにいてから、レンタル自転車（カイルアセイルボード＆カヤックで、ツアー参加者は１台１１ドルくらいで借りれました）を借りて隣のラニカイビーチに行ってきました。
ラニカイビーチのほうが、ミルキーエメラルド！な海です。海が美しくてそれだけでテンションがあがります↑
ラニカイビーチまで、以前行ったときは歩いたのですがヘトヘトになってしまったので、自転車のほうがおすすめです。

ランチはボックスランチかピザが選べましたが、担当の方がお勧めしてくれたピザをチョイス。すごくおおきくてびっくり！！

あっという間の４時間でした。
フリーな時間が長いのでタウンに行ったりラニカイに行ったりもでき、リピーターさんにもお勧めです。
日本人スタッフもいますし、ロッカーやトイレ、更衣室などもしっかりついているので安心度も高くとても良かったです。

It was a wonderful sail and beautiful scenery of Diamond Head, Waikiki and Town. The Captain answered all of my daughter's questions, and let me tell you..SHE HAD A LOT of questions!! She even made friends with another little girl on-board. We didn't snorkel because I am not a great swimmer and the waves looked kinda rough, but its ok...me and my daughter was on the top drinking our Orange and Guave juice and enjoying the breeze, relaxing and taking in the scenery.

The Catamaran was clean, comfortable, and had 2 CLEAN bathrooms on-board (Women and Men). The staff was very friendly, always came around to see how we were doing and offering us anything to drink..

A QUALITY EXPERIENCE 1st CLASS FUN!

Reviewed by: Laura W.

I've been on other snorkeling cruises but was REALLY IMPRESSED with the boat and the crew. The boat was very clean, open and comfortable. Having great his and her bathrooms was a nice plus as well. The crew were fun, informative and professional. They make you feel very comfortable and taken care of. Swimming with the turtles was a total treat. There's a crew member in the water with you the entire time and they are not only looking out for your safety but are answering questions about the fish, turtles and the total area. In addition, they are educating you so you really "swim" away knowing more than when you came. The sailing portion was really relaxing and peaceful. It's great to see Waikiki & Diamond Head Crater from the water and being able to leave on this trip from the Hilton is a real plus. Even the food and snacks were good. I would definitely recommend this trip.

"It was written that you have a high chance of encountering sea turtles, but what I wanted to do was 'snorkel with the turtles,' so I participated with half expectation and half anxiety, thinking, 'Maybe I'll just be looking at them from the boat.' But I did it! 'Snorkeling with the turtles!' I think I was lucky. Of course, since they are wild, you can't do it every time, but if I go to Hawaii again, I would like to join this tour."

「海ガメには高い確率で出会えます」と書いてあったけど、

This time, we were taken care of by Alan!
After arriving at the beach, we received a thorough explanation of snorkeling and off we went!
We practiced in the shallow water at first, and then Alan held my hand and took us deeper into the ocean. It was our second time at Hanauma Bay, but before we knew it, we had gone out to a much deeper area that we couldn't reach at all during our first visit. It's a shame we didn't see any sea turtles, but we were satisfied with the beautiful corals and plenty of fish we saw!
After coming out of the water, they gave us water and snacks! However, I thought we would have some free time, but we didn't have any at all, so I couldn't take many photos.
After returning to the beach, I think it would be nice to dive again if we still have energy!
Overall, I was very satisfied!

今回、私たちはアランさんにお世話になりました！

海を出たあとは水とお菓子をくれました！ただ、自由時間があると思ってたんですが、全然なかったのであまり写真が取れませんでした。

I participated at the request of my son, who is now in his first year of middle school. Our guide, Shin, was very attentive and there were no particular troubles. My son was able to dive properly. I think he did a great job for his first time. We encountered sea turtles twice. It was humorous to see them just floating and not moving much. The schools of fish seemed a bit sparse. Still, when I went in with the snorkel and had food in my hand, I was able to observe a large number of fish up close.

Hanauma Bay is like an aquarium. ハナウマ湾は水族館状態

Reviewed by: mac

We participated in a group of seven, including families with elementary school children and couples. Therefore, we split into two groups: the family and our group of four, to enjoy snorkeling. It seemed a bit challenging for the elementary school kids, as they had an instructor dedicated to helping them. Our group swam a little further out, around the edge where the water was about 5 meters deep. It truly felt like we were swimming inside an aquarium. Although we were wearing life jackets and didn’t dive, just floating on the surface was plenty of fun. In the end, we encountered a turtle in the shallow waters and were able to swim alongside it. That was quite an emotional experience. We got so close that I thought I might accidentally bump into its shell due to the waves. After crossing the bay for about 30 minutes, we finished up. It was quite exhausting. Since it’s a three-hour tour, either in the morning or afternoon, I think it’s a convenient way to make good use of your day. I took photos using a regular digital camera placed in a waterproof pack, DiCAPacα. It’s affordable and I recommend it. Just be careful, as the edges might get in the shot. Of course, if seawater gets in, it will break, so please take responsibility for that.

我々が参加したグループは、小学生を含んだ家族とカップルと我々の7人。
そのため、家族と、我々4人の二グループに分かれて、シュノーケリングを
楽しむことになりました。やはり小学生には、ちょっと大変だったようで、インストラクターつきっきりで、お世話をしていました。我々のグループは、
少し沖に出て、水深5Mぐらいの縁を泳ぎました。まさにそこは水族館の中を
泳いでいるかのようでした。救命胴衣を付けていたので潜りはしませんが
海面を浮いているだけでも、十分に楽しめました。最後は、浅瀬でカメに遭遇し、一緒に泳ぐことが出来ました。これはちょっと感動物です。
波に押されて、思わず甲羅にぶつかるかと思うぐらいに、接近遭遇してしまいました。30分ぐらい湾中を横断し、終了。けっこうへとへとになります。
午前か午後か、3時間ほどのツアーなので、お手軽で一日を有効利用出来るスケジュールだと思います。
撮った写真は、普通のデジカメを、防水のパックDiCAPacα に入れて撮りました。お手頃でお勧めです。ただ注意しないと、縁が写り込んでしまいます。
もちろん、海水が入ったら壊れますので、自己責任でお願いします。

Mysterious space 不思議な空間

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

After a 15-minute ride on a medium-sized boat, we arrived at a shallow area with a depth of 20 to 30 centimeters. It was truly surprising. We walked around and chatted there, and then went snorkeling. However, we didn't have much time (about 30 to 40 minutes), which was a bit disappointing. There weren't as many fish as I had expected. The lunch was very delicious, but since it was probably around 3:30 to 4:00 PM, everyone was quite hungry. I think it's better to have a light snack if you're on an afternoon tour. However, I was very happy to unexpectedly receive Leonard's malasadas for free.

中型ボートで15分も走るとそこには20~30センチの浅瀬に。本当に驚きです。そこでウォーキングやおしゃべりなどをしてその後はシュノーケリングへ。ただあまり時間が取れず（30~40分位）そこがちょっと残念でした。お魚は期待していたよりいなかったです。ランチはとてもおいしかったのですが、恐らく3時半~4時位だったので、みんなお腹がペコペコでした。午後のツアーの場合、軽く食べていったほうがいいと思います。ただ、レナーズのマサラダが無料で配られ思いもよらなかったのでとても嬉しかったです。

The sandbar changes completely depending on the tides, and I think its uniqueness deserves a perfect score of 100. However, it's important to note that it doesn't always form a beach in the middle of the sea as shown in the pictures. Those who are lucky might find a beach, while others can enjoy the sea turtles.

サンドバーはそのときの潮の満ち引きによって全然景色が変わるし、珍しさは１００点だと思います。

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＞

Yay! Sandbar! わーい！サンドバー！

Reviewed by: noel

I had to go to the sandbar on my first trip to Hawaii! Although I was alone, the staff were young and friendly, and the ocean was incredibly beautiful. Of course, I also got to see sea turtles. It seemed difficult to take pictures, though. I’m good at snorkeling, so I easily cleared it and swam at the front of the tour, enjoying the fish in the clear waters.

初めてのハワイでサンドバー行くっきゃない！だけどぉ、独りは一人だったけどぉ。スタッフは若くて気さくな感じだし、海はとってもきれいなのだぁ。もちろんウミガメも見れたよぉ。写真に撮るのは難しそうだったけれどぉ。初種のーケリングも潜るの得意だから難なくクリアーでツアーの先頭を泳げば澄み切った海で魚たちを楽しめます。

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＞

There are lots of delicious-looking fish. 美味しそうなお魚がいっぱい

Reviewed by: iwasawa

I participated the morning after arriving in Hawaii. The guide was fluent in Japanese and shared various recommended spots during the drive to Hanauma Bay. This was helpful for our stay.

There are plenty of fish even in the shallow waters, so I think even those who can't swim can enjoy it. My daughter (16 years old) was able to go quite deep with the help of our guide, Jim, during snorkeling.

Thank you, Alan and Jim, for a fun and valuable experience.

　ハワイに着いて次の日の朝に参加しました。ガイドの方は日本語が堪能で、ハナウマ湾に着くまでの間車の中で、お勧めスポットを色々と教えてくれました。滞在中の参考になりますよ。

　海の中は浅瀬にも魚がたくさんいますので、泳げない人も楽しめると思います。娘(16歳)はシュノーケリングの間ずっとガイドのジムさんに手を引いてもらって、かなり深いところまで行けました。
　アランさん、ジムさん、楽しくて貴重なひとときをありがとうございました。

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＞

Encountered a turtle! Lucky! カメに遭遇！ラッキー！

Reviewed by: こねこ

This was my second time at Hanauma Bay. Last time, I went by bus and brought my own snorkeling gear, but this time I signed up for a guided tour with snorkeling, fins, and a life jacket because I was worried about my friend's swimming ability (the travel agency didn't have any guided options).

It was easy since the guide helped my friend, who can't swim, by holding their hand while swimming together. We didn't have to wait in line for tickets, and they also took care of our valuables. The guide spoke Japanese well and was very kind.

As rumored, they knew the spots where we could see turtles and fish, and after moving to a different location and swimming a bit, we encountered a turtle. The turtle swam leisurely, eating and not afraid of humans, so we could watch it up close for a long time. I had never been interested in turtles before, but it had such cute eyes and was so big that I fell in love with it.

The weather wasn't very good, and there were some waves, so we couldn't go too far out, but I would love to come back on a sunny day and have them guide me again!

ハナウマ湾は２回目です。前回は自分でバスで行き、シュノーケルも持って行きましたが、今回友人の泳ぎが不安だったので、ガイド付き、シュノーケル・フィン・ライフジャケット付きのツアーに申し込みました。（旅行会社のはガイド付きのものがなかったので。）
泳げない友人の手をつないで一緒に泳いでくれたので、楽でした。
チケットも並ばずに済むし、貴重品の保管もやってくれます。
ガイドさんは日本語がうまく、とても親切でした。
カメや魚のいるポイントを知っているとの評判通り、場所を移動してから少し泳ぐとカメに遭遇しました。
カメはゆったりと泳いで、えさを食べたりして、人間を怖がらないのか間近でずーーーーっと見てられました。今までカメには興味なかったけど、とてもかわいい目をしていて大きくて、大好きになりました。
天気があまりよくなかく、波もあったのであまり沖へでていけれなかったのですが、晴れた日にまたリベンジして案内してもらいたいです！

サンドバー　キャプテンブルース　天国の海®︎シュノーケリングクルーズ　SUPや浮き輪などレンタルアイテムも！＜午前・午後／日本語クルー＞

I was greatly impressed by the sherbet-colored sea at the sand bar! サンド・バーのシャーベット色の海に大感激！カメラを忘れたら・・・

Reviewed by: ふ～たん

I participated in the most popular tour, the afternoon BBQ lunch tour, which is known for its delicious food. The weather was great, and the sea was beautiful! I realized I had forgotten my video camera on the shuttle bus. What a shock! I had bought a compact video camera to capture this sea... In the early morning, I joined the Diamond Head sunrise tour. I guess I was a bit relaxed, and while searching for a shop near the boat departure point, I found none.

When I asked the staff, they mentioned that waterproof cameras called "Utsurun desu" are sold on the boat... When I tried to buy one, I learned about a service that turns photos taken at the sand bar into a DVD. The sand bar is a famous spot for commercial filming. Hmm. The "Utsurun desu" camera costs $20, while the DVD shooting is $45... I thought about having a photo DVD made of me, my son, and my mother.

However, we had to pose properly... arms wide open, all three of us overlapping, and so on. Plus, I was bare-faced with messy hair... I thought the woman in a bikini taking our photos looked much more suited to the beautiful sea... but we went ahead with it. My son had a stiff expression the whole time. My mother looked great in the photos, and the photo spots were indeed well-chosen.

The finished photos turned out beautifully. However, having to pick them up at the office near DFS after 7 PM that day was a bit inconvenient. I wished there was a delivery service to the hotel.

After that, we went snorkeling. My son, who had been taking swimming lessons, of course participated. I also joined since I had gotten somewhat used to it at Hanauma Bay on the first day. However, the water was 20 meters deep. The distance was about 100 meters round trip, I think. It suddenly got deep from knee-deep water. Some women decided not to participate, fearing they might panic at that depth, but I can only swim about 25 meters. There were small children participating with their fathers, so it was okay. However, the visibility wasn't that great, and I could only see a few fish far below.

We saw several sea turtles from the boat on the way to the sand bar.

The BBQ lunch after snorkeling was delicious, just as I had expected. The kalbi meat was easy to eat, and we all commented on how tasty the salad was.

ツアーで一番人気の、このツアーＢＢＱランチが美味しいという評判の午後ツアーに参加してきました。
天気も良く、海も綺麗！送迎のバスの中でビデオカメラを忘れてきたことに気がつきました。ショック。この海を撮りたくて小型ビデオカメラを購入したのに・・・早朝、ダイアモンドヘッド日の出ツアーに参加。きっと、気が緩んでいたんでしょうねと思いつつ、ボートの発着所付近にショップはないか、捜しましたがありません。

スタッフの方に聞くと、「写るんです」の防水カメラはボート内で販売しているとか・・・購入しようとすると、このサンド・バーで写真をＤＶＤにしてくれるというサービスがあることを知りました。サンド・バーはＣＭ撮影で有名なスポット。う~ん。「写るんです」は２０ドル。ＤＶＤ撮影は４５ドル・・・いっそ、私と息子、母の３人を撮ってもらおうかと写真ＤＶＤをお願いしました。
しかし、ポーズをしっかりつけること・・・両手を広げて、三人重なって・・などなど。しかも、私はノーメイクで、髪はボサボサ・・・写真を撮ってくださるビキニの女性の方がよほど、この海の景色に似合いそうだ・・・などと思いつつ撮ってもらいました。息子は終始、かたい表情。母は、良い表情に撮れていましたし、写真を撮るスポットはさすがに、慣れているだけあって良かったです。

出来上がったものは、綺麗に撮れていました。
その日の１９時以降にＤＦＳの近くの事務所まで受け取りに行くのが、ちょっと。ホテルまで届けてくれるサービスなどあればと思いました。

その後はシュノーケリング。息子はスイミングを習っていたので、もちろん参加。私も初日のハナウマ湾で、やや慣れたので参加。けれど、水深２０メートル。距離は往復で１００メートル~だと思います。膝ほどの水深からいきなり、深くなります。
水深が２０メートルだと、途中でパニックになるかもしれないなどど参加をやめた女性もいましたが、私も２５メートルほどしか泳げません。小さな子供もお父さんと参加していたので、大丈夫です。ただし、透明度はそれほどではなく、魚もずっと下の方に少し見えるくらいでした。
海ガメは、サンド・バーに行く途上で何匹も船上から見えました。

シュノーケリングの後のＢＢＱランチは期待通り、美味しかったです。カルビ肉は食べやすく、サラダも味付けが美味しいねと皆で話していま

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＞

Hanauma Bay, clear skies! I swam with turtles! ハナウマ湾　快晴！　亀と泳ぎました！

Reviewed by: ふ～たん

The weather was perfect, ideal for snorkeling. Both the sky and the sea were shining blue. We arrived in Hawaii in the morning and participated in the afternoon. My 13-year-old son seemed to find it unusual to snorkel with fins. The instructor was attentive, and when I mentioned that I wasn't confident in my swimming, he held my hand and took me to the spot. Besides my son, there was only one family with a father and his elementary and middle school sons. We were able to see many fish up close, including quite large ones.

Along the way, we encountered a turtle, and everyone swam after it, much to the children's delight. Those who went snorkeling freely mentioned that they couldn't see the turtle. It was a great decision to join a tour with an instructor who knows Hanauma Bay well.

At first, I stepped on some coral and scraped my foot, which was a bit painful. It would have been nice if the participants had been warned to watch their footing, but that can't be helped. It was before I put on my fins. Please be careful, everyone.

However, I had a great time and would like to participate again. It would have been better to have about 30 minutes of free swimming time after snorkeling. In terms of seeing fish up close, I highly recommend this experience. I was able to see a greater variety of fish compared to the Sea Walk I participated in previously in Guam.

天候に恵まれ、絶好のシュノーケリング日和。
空も海も青く輝いていました。午前ハワイ着で、午後からの参加です。１３歳の息子も足ひれを付けてのシュノーケリングが珍しいようでした。インストラクターさんは丁寧で、私が泳ぎに自信がないと話すと、手を引いてスポットに連れて行ってくれました。息子の他は、お父さんと小、中学生の息子さんの家族だけでした。まじかで沢山の魚を見ることができました。
かなり大きな魚もいました。
途中で亀と遭遇。皆で亀の後をついて泳ぎました。
子供たちも大喜び。
フリーでシュノーケリングに行った方たちは亀を見ることはできなかったと話していました。
ハナウマ湾をよく知っているインストラクターさんと一緒のツアーで大正解です。
最初に、珊瑚を踏んで足をすりむいてしまったので、ちょっと痛い思いをしました。・・・参加者の足場に気をつけてくれると良かったんですが、それは仕方がないですね。足ひれを付ける前でした。
皆さんも、気をつけてください。
でも、充分に楽しめました。また、参加したいです。
シュノーケリングの後、自由に泳ぐ時間が３０分程度、あったほうが良かったです。
魚をまじかに見られるという点では一番おすすめです。
以前、グアムで参加したシーウオークよりも、さまざまな種類の魚を見ることができました。

I got to meet a sea turtle!! ウミガメに会えた！！

Reviewed by: 四十路ママ

On March 21, 2011, I participated in this tour with my parents and my son (8 years old). It was cloudy in Waikiki, and there was a bit of rain on the mountain roads, so I was worried about the weather. However, when we arrived at the location, it wasn't perfectly sunny, but the weather was decent with some sunshine. Even in late March, the water temperature was still low. During this tour, we snorkeled twice at different points, but during the first snorkeling session, my son and the other children turned blue in the lips and were shivering. The adults, including myself, didn't feel as cold, but if children are going snorkeling at this time of year, a rash guard might not be warm enough. The snorkeling left a stronger impression than walking on the sandbar. Most of the staff were Japanese, so they kindly explained how to wear and use the snorkeling gear in Japanese, which made me feel at ease. During the first snorkeling session, we encountered a sea turtle. The colorful tropical fish and the sea turtle were truly moving. We boarded the cruiser, which took us to the snorkeling points, and even though the meals on board were light snacks, they were quite delicious. For the second snorkeling session, I was told that the current was a bit stronger than at the first point, but even as a beginner, I was able to snorkel without being swept away. This point had clearer water and a more beautiful sea. We didn't see any sea turtles here, but afterward, we returned to the boat for turtle watching. We discovered many sea turtles, and my parents, who didn't snorkel, also enjoyed it. All the staff were kind, and I would definitely recommend this tour.

２０１１年３月２１日にこのツアーに私の両親と私と息子（８歳）で参加しました。ワイキキでは曇りで途中山道でも雨がちらつき、天候が心配でしたが、現地に到着するとピーカンではありませんでしたが、日差しもぼちぼちの天候となりました。3月下旬でもやはり水温は低く、このツアーではポイントを変えて２回シュノーケルしたのですが、１度目のシュノーケルで、息子も含め他の子供達も唇が真っ青でぶるぶる震えるような感じになりました。私や他の大人の方々は、それほど寒さを感じませんでしたが、この時期のシュノーケルは、お子さんが行かれるのであれば、ラッシュガードでは寒いかもしれません。サンドバーのウォーキングよりは、シュノーケルが印象に残りました。スタッフは日本の方がほとんどでしたので、日本語で丁寧にシュノーケルの装着や使い方について説明してくださり、安心してシュノーケルができました。1度目のシュノーケル時にウミガメに遭遇しました。色とりどりの熱帯魚とウミガメ、それはもう感動的でした。クルーザーに乗り込み、ポイントまで連れていっていただいたのですが、船内での食事も軽食とはいえ、なかなかおいしかったです。２度目のシュノーケルは、最初のポイントよりやや潮の流れがあるとのことでしたが、初心者の私でも流されることなく安心してシュノーケルできました。こちらのポイントの方が透明度が高く美しい海でした。ここではウミガメには会えませんでしたが、その後船に戻りウミガメウォッチングをしました。
たくさんのウミガメを発見して、こちらはシュノーケルはしなかった私の両親も楽しんでいました。
スタッフのみなさんもどなたも親切ですし、是非お勧めしたいツアーです。

Travelled on a budget with my son to Oahu. Captain Bob's provided a great water adventure, including turtles, snorkeling and lunch. The excursion got us to the windward side of the island, allowing us to see more of Oahu. The staff was very friendly and helpful.
