I participated with my first grader. They jumped into the sea once, but it seemed to be quite exhausting for them. The second time, they asked me with a tearful face, "Do I really have to jump in??"

I would like to participate again when my child is a bit older.

小学１年生をつれての参加でした。
１度は海に飛び込んだのですが、
さすがにしんどかったのでしょう、
２度目は、
「絶対に飛び込まなくちゃあだめ？？」
と泣きそうな顔で、私に聞いてきました。

もう少し子供が大きくなったら、
また参加したいと思います。

Reviewed by: ふらり

I tried to catch up with the dolphins and swam faster and faster, but of course, the dolphins were much quicker. It was quite interesting to encounter them while they were swimming leisurely. I felt a thrill when a dolphin looked up at me!

It seems that the turtles have specific spots where they can be found, so it was easy to see them once I got to the right place. I was surprised by how big the turtles were!

イルカに追いつけ追いつけ！でどんどん泳いでいきましたが、イルカの方がだんぜん速く（当たり前ですが・・・）ゆったり泳いでる方が会えたりなど、なかなかおもしろかったです。
イルカにこちらを見上げられたとき等、キュン！としちゃいました。
亀はいる場所が決まっているようで、そこに行きさえすれば会えたのでらくちんでした。
すごく大きい亀でびっくりしました。

For some reason, I had never been to "Sand Island." Until now, I had been avoiding tours that offered a relaxing experience, focusing instead on shopping and other option tours, but this was an eye-opening experience.

なぜか「サンドアイランド」だけは入ったことがありませんでした。これまではショッピングや他のオプションツアーばかりでゆったり時間を過ごすツアーは敬遠していましたが、目からウロコの体験でした。

I had a great experience. よい体験ができました。

Reviewed by: チバババン

I participated in the afternoon barbecue event. I was immediately given a malasada, and my spirits were high! With the staff's cheers, we began. We took a boat to the sandbar, and upon arrival, it felt like paradise. It was truly Hawaii. We enjoyed the sandbar in a private setting. The BBQ that followed was quite substantial and incredibly delicious. By chance, we joined a tour hosted by a Japanese celebrity and encountered live celebrities. Lucky!! At the sandbar, there was also a professional photographer taking pictures (to be posted on the website), which is recommended for couples. After enjoying the beautiful sea while snorkeling, we returned to the boat and encountered turtles. As we quietly waited for the turtles, we spotted their shells in the waves. We were able to see them three times (three turtles), which was very satisfying. We were blessed with good weather, and it became a wonderful memory.

午後のバーベキュー付に参加しました。いきなりマラサダをもらい気分は上々！！スタッフの掛け声とともに、始まりました。サンドバーまで船で行き、着けばそこは天国。まさにハワイ。貸切状態で、サンドバーを満喫しました。その後のＢＢＱもかなりのボリュームと、かなりのおいしさ。たまたま、日本の芸能人の主催するツアーとも一緒になり、生芸能人にも遭遇。ラッキー！！サンドバーではプロカメラマンによる写真撮影（ＨＰに掲載）もあり、カップルにもお勧め。きれいな海をシューノーケルで廻り、満喫した後は船に戻り、亀との遭遇。静かに亀を待っていると、波間に甲羅が。三度も目撃でき（三カメ）大満足。好天にも恵まれ、とてもよい思い出になりました。

Beautiful sandbar キレイなサンドバー

Reviewed by: vitamin

The contrast of the blue sky, emerald green sea, and sandbar was very beautiful, and the sandbar exceeded my expectations. We walked about five minutes through knee-deep water from the boat to the sandbar. I read reviews beforehand and was glad I brought an underwater camera. (They were selling underwater cameras on the boat for $20 for participants who didn't bring one.)

The snorkeling was not enjoyable, possibly due to the previous day's weather, as the water clarity was poor and there were hardly any fish. I was disappointed since I participated with the intention of snorkeling. In this tour, snorkeling is done barefoot without fins.

I think this is a good tour for those who want to enjoy the sandbar.

　青い空とエメラルドグリーンの海とサンドバーのコントラストがとてもキレイで、サンドバーは期待以上でした。
　船からサンドバーまで膝下ぐらいの水位のある海を５分ぐらい歩きます。事前に口コミを読んで、水中カメラを持参して良かったです。（水中カメラを持参していない参加者向けに、船上で水中カメラを２０ドルで販売していました。）
　シュノーケリングは前日の天候の影響もあってか海の透明度が悪く、魚もほとんどいなく楽しめませんでした。
　私は、シュノーケリング目的で今回参加したため残念でした。このツアーでのシュノーケリングは、フィンを付けず、素足で行います。
　サンドバーを楽しむために参加するには、良いツアーだと思います。

I will participate again. また、参加します

Reviewed by: makana

It was such a wonderful experience that I can still remember the images vividly. The Ko'olau mountain range viewed from the sea was wrapped in deep mystery, contrasting with the sparkling ocean, and it captivated me. While snorkeling, I discovered a sea turtle swimming near the surface in the blue sea! Although it was only for a few seconds, being able to swim alongside it is an unforgettable memory for a lifetime. When we landed on the sandbar, the angle of the light made the sea display different colors, sparkling in 360 degrees. When I asked the guide to take some photos, they captured great shots by changing the background with prompts like, "Jump in this scenery" and "Sit in the water." I ended up with some beautiful pictures. Additionally, I made a reservation two days before departing for Hawaii at 11:00 PM Japan time, and I received a confirmation reply just six hours later, which allowed me to leave for Hawaii with peace of mind. Since it was a plan that allowed us to return to the hotel in the morning, we were able to enjoy the pool and shopping in the afternoon. I checked the tide conditions in advance before applying, so the sandbar was well formed.

今でもその映像が思い出せるほど素敵な経験でした。海から一望するコオラウ山脈は、輝く海とは反対に深い神秘に包まれ引きつけられました。シュノーケリングでは青い海の中、海面近くを泳ぐウミガメを発見！数十秒でしたが一緒に泳ぐことができて忘れられない一生の思いでです。サンドバーへ上陸すると、光りの角度によって海が違う色をなしていて360度キラキラとしていました。ガイドの方にシャッターを御願いすると、「この景色でジャンプ」「海に入って座って」などバックに映る景色を変えながら撮影をしてくれたので、素敵な写真も出来上がりました。また、ハワイへ発つ２日前日本時間の23:00に予約をしたのですが、6時間後には正式に受付け完了の返信が届き、安心してハワイに発つことができました。午前中にホテルへ戻れるプランなので、午後はプールや買い物に行けました。事前に干潮の状態を確認して申込みをしたのでサンドバーはしっかりとできていました。

Reviewed by: はやし

I participated in a morning tour. During my first trip to Hawaii, I also went snorkeling at Hanauma Bay. Since it was a place I wanted to visit again when I came back to Hawaii, I was looking forward to Hanauma.

This time, I chose a guided tour because I was with my children. There were two 8-year-olds and a 6-year-old, along with my husband and me. The guide held the hand of the 6-year-old and swam together with us, which was very helpful. The children were satisfied and happy to see various fish. The guide kindly taught us how to snorkel, and I was glad we could enjoy the ocean with peace of mind.

朝のツアーに参加しました。
初めてのハワイ旅行時も、ハナウマ湾シュノーケリングをしました。またハワイに来たときは行きたい場所でしたので
ハナウマを楽しみにしていました。

今回は、子供と一緒なのでガイド付きにしました。
８歳２人と６歳の３人の子供と私たち夫婦です。ガイドさんは６歳の子供の手を握ってくれ、一緒に泳いでくれました。とても助かりました。色々なお魚を見れて子供は満足して喜びました。シュノーケリングのやり方など、親切に教えていただき、安心して海を楽しめる事が出来てよかったです。

I had a great time. とっても楽しかったです

Reviewed by: nor

It seems we were able to locate the dolphins from the moving bus, and I was very satisfied to swim with them right after getting on the boat. However, my partner had a defect in the snorkel, and the mask was leaking, so they couldn't see the dolphins very well. By the time we got a replacement, the dolphins had already left. I would appreciate it if someone could check if there are any issues with the mask when we first enter the water, like asking, "Is there anything wrong with your mask?" Alternatively, having a brief practice session would help avoid such issues. Also, we brought a disposable underwater camera, but since it was cloudy, we didn't get any good photos, so I wish I had bought the CD that was for sale after the tour. Renting the wetsuit for ten dollars was a good decision.

移動のバスからイルカさんの位置がわかったようで、ボートにのってすぐイルカさんと泳ぐことができ大満足でした。ただ、相方はシュノーケルに欠陥があってマスクが水漏れしてイルカさんをあまりよくみることができませんでした。交換してもらったときはすでにイルカさん達は行ってしまっていました。船から海に入ったときに、まず「マスクに異常ありませんか？」などと声をかけてもらえると嬉しいです。もしくは軽い練習時間があるとこんなことがなくていいですよね。また、わたしたちは使い捨ての水中カメラを持っていったのですが、曇り空でいい写真がとれていなかったので、ツアー後に販売していたCDを買えばよかったな、って思いました。ウェットスーツは１０ドルで借りましたが正解でした。

We participated as a couple with our 5-year-old and 3-year-old. I was worried if the kids would enjoy it, but they had a great time. I wondered if we would really get to see dolphins, but we encountered many dolphins and it was very healing. The kids couldn't swim with the dolphins, but they were able to see them well from the boat. I wished to see wild dolphins rather than trained ones, and that wish came true, which was wonderful. We definitely want to participate again next time!!!

５歳、３歳、夫婦で参加しました。子供が楽しめるか不安でしたが十分楽しめました。本当にイルカに会えるのか・・・とも思いましたがたくさんのイルカに会え、とても癒されました。子供達はさすがにイルカと泳ぐ事は出来ませんでしたが船の上から十分に見れました。飼いならされたイルカよりも野生のイルカを・・・という願いが叶い、とても良かったです。次回も是非、参加させて頂きます！！！

The food was a light snack, but there are so many delicious things in Hawaii, and there were plenty of other things I wanted to eat, so this tour was perfect for us!! I will definitely participate again!!! Class representative, I look forward to working with you again!!!

Private Iruka Junior High is the best!! 私立イルカ中学最高！！

Reviewed by: かえまま

I participated with a family of friends (ages 6 to 65). Those who are prone to seasickness were advised to take medication in the shuttle car, but I forgot to take it and was completely fine.

At first, I was a bit anxious about the name "Private Dolphin Middle School," but it was the cheapest option, and they offered free rentals for fins and prescription goggles, so I decided to go with it. However, Yuriko, the owner, who is also the class representative and principal, really paid attention to each individual and made an effort to ensure everyone had a great time.

That's probably why this relatively new travel company, which just celebrated its first anniversary in May, is so popular.

The meals included snacks, cinnamon rolls, cheese, fruits, juice, and hot tea. Even though we worried about overeating on the boat (laughs), it was more than enough for us.

As for the main content, the course included sea turtles, fish, and dolphins. Although we didn't see any sea turtles at first, we were taken to a point where we could see them up close at the end.

To our surprise, a pod of over 20 dolphins appeared! My 6-year-old son can't swim, but he did his best to chase them with a life jacket and snorkel. Thankfully, Yuriko supported him, so I could chase after them without worry (laughs). Luckily, the dolphins turned around and swam right beneath my son, which was amazing! Thanks to that, we got some great photos together.

$130 is a bit pricey, but it's worth it. Once you experience it, feeding and touching them will feel insufficient!

I heard there's also something called Dolphin University.

友人ファミリーと一緒に（6歳~65歳）参加しました。
船に酔いやすい人は送迎の車で薬を飲むよう言われましたが、飲み忘れたけどまったく大丈夫でした。

初めは「私立イルカ中学」という名前に不安がありましたが、1番安かったし、フィン、度つきのゴーグルの貸し出しが無料だった・・・というだけで決めましたが、オーナーで学級委員長でもあり学長でもあるユリコさんが本当に一人一人に気を配り、楽しんで帰ってもらおうとしているのが伝わりました。

なのでまだ5月で1周年という新しい旅行会社にもかかわらず人気なのでしょう。

食事はスナック、シナモンロール、チーズ、フルーツ、ジュース、温かいお茶でした。
船の上で食べ過ぎても、色々心配なので（笑）私達には十分でした。


肝心な内容なのですが、ウミガメ→お魚竜宮城→イルカちゃんというコースで、最初にウミガメには会えなかったのですが、最後に又ウミガメのポイントへ連れて行っていただけ、間近に見ることが出来ました。

イルカも20頭以上の群れで現れびっくり！！
6歳の息子は泳げないけどライフジャケットと何とかシュノーケルで一生懸命追いかけますが・・・ユリコさんが息子をサポートしてくれたので私も安心して追いかけられました（笑）
ラッキーなことに、イルカ達がＵターンしてくれ息子の真下を泳いでくれ最高でした！！
お陰で親子で激写しまくり。

＄１３０は高いけど、その価値はあります。
1度体験してしまったら、餌をやる、タッチする・・なんて物足りなくなりますよ！！

イルカ大学というのもあるらしい。

Reviewed by: 慶さん

The early morning pickup at 5 AM was tough, but I was super lucky to experience the full menu in the morning.

First, even though it's almost May, I encountered a mother and baby whale, and then I got to swim with tropical fish and turtles at the Dragon Palace. The sea turtles swam leisurely, allowing me to gaze at them while swimming alongside (laughs).

However, I was worried that I might not get to see the dolphins since I couldn't find them for a while. Just when I started to think it might be a bad day, I received information that they were near the power plant on the West Coast, so we headed there directly on a high-speed boat. It felt like a roller coaster on the sea, and we arrived on time. Finally, I spotted the dolphins.

After watching them jump and spin eight times from the boat, I quietly entered the water from behind them and was finally able to swim with them. In the morning, they swam slowly with one eye closed, so I got to experience several pods swimming right beneath me and beside me. It was thrilling and a bit healing at the same time. Yay! I guess this was thanks to the high-speed boat and the crew.

The staff were fun and kind, and I’m really glad I participated. (By the way, it's a good idea to use motion sickness medication and a wetsuit for peace of mind.) Next time, I want to come with my family, not just my wife!

朝５時の迎えはきつかったけど、午前中にフルメニューの体験が出来、超ラッキー。
まず初めは、間もなく５月というのに、鯨の親子に出会え、その後竜宮城で熱帯魚たちや亀とも泳げた。海亀はゆったりと泳いでくれるので横で泳ぎながら見つめ合えちゃった（笑)
ただ、なかなか肝心のイルカに出会えなくて、今日はだめな日なのかな？と不安に思ったところ、ウエストコーストの発電所の辺りにいるらしいとの情報が入り、高速ボートで直行。海の上のジェットコースターのようで楽しい上に、時間内に到着。そしてついにイルカ先生たちを発見。
船上からジャンプスピンを８回見た後、彼らの後ろからソーッと海に入り、ついに先生たちとと泳ぐことが出来ました。
朝のうちは、片目をつぶって寝ながらゆっくり泳ぐ彼らなので、いくつかの群れが自分の真下の海底や自分の真横で泳いでくれるのを体験。興奮と共にちょっと癒される感じを体験。やったね！これも高速ボートと航海士のお陰かな。
　スタッフも楽しく、親切でホントに参加して良かった。
（なお、酔い止め薬とウェットスーツは利用したほうが安心。）

Snorkeling was "fun, moving, and exciting." Even if you're not confident in swimming, you'll be fine with the expert. I want everyone I know to experience this!

たった３泊の短かい旅行なのに、このツアーに半日をかけたのは、すばらしい選択だったと思ってます。

An unforgettable, amazing tour. 忘れられない最高のツアー

Reviewed by: momiji

My trip to Hawaii for six nights and eight days became the best memory ever.

I participated in a morning tour. It was a bit chilly that day, so I wore a T-shirt and a jacket over my swimsuit. There were a lot of participants, and we departed with two boats. I think there were about 20 to 30 people on our boat.

Upon arriving at the sandbar, we got off the boat and into the sea. It was quite cold, so about 30% of the people rented wetsuits. At first, the water was about waist-deep, but it quickly became shallower. The view was amazing! The color of the sea changed into various hues as we reached the sandbar. We had some free time there, and they took two photos of each group, which we could purchase later.

Also, since there’s a risk of getting wet, it’s definitely better to bring a waterproof camera. They sell cameras that can be used underwater for $20. Although I reluctantly bought one, I was really glad I did later on. I recommend purchasing one if you don’t have it; you can take photos of fish and turtles underwater! It’s a must-have!

After that, we returned to the boat and went snorkeling around the sandbar. At this point, everyone had rented wetsuits. While there weren't many beautiful tropical fish, we saw plenty of fish. And surprisingly, we encountered a turtle early on! It seems that seeing turtles near the sandbar is quite rare, and even the staff was surprised.

When we returned to the boat, it was meal time. The food was delicious, and I even went back for seconds. Next, we changed spots to visit the turtle habitat. While snorkeling there, we were able to see two more turtles.

Then we returned to the boat to watch the turtles basking in the sun. We spotted about five or six turtles floating on the surface! It was truly refreshing and amazing to see such large sea turtles swimming freely in the ocean. I was able to take great photos with my underwater camera, and it was the best experience. This is a tour I would want to participate in every time I visit Hawaii.

When boarding the boat, I recommend securing a spot near the front (this is where you get on and off). Also, act quickly. Even if there are turtles around, if you come later, they might already be gone. I think the spot for watching the turtles basking is the best position.

６泊８日でのハワイ旅行で一番最高の思い出になりました。
午前のツアーに参加。当日は肌寒く、水着の上にＴシャツ＋上着を着用。
参加者はとても多く、２台で出発。私たちの船には２０~３０人くらい居たと思います。
サンドバーに到着し、船から海へ。結構寒かったので、３割くらいの人はウェットスーツを借りていました。
最初は海面が腰くらいまででしたが、すぐに浅瀬に。眺めは最高！！海の色が何色にも変わっていきサンドバーに到着という感じです。そこでしばらくフリータイム。写真も１組２枚撮っていただけますが、後で購入する形になります。
また、水に濡れる心配があるため、防水カメラは絶対持って行ったほうがいいです。水中でも撮れるカメラの販売がありますが、２０ドルです。不本意ながらも購入しましたが、後から買ってよかったと心底思いました。持ってない人は購入をおすすめします。水の中で魚やカメさんの撮影ができます！！必需品です！
その後再度船に戻り、サンドバーの周りをシュノーケリング。この時点で皆がウェットスーツを借りていました。
キレイな熱帯魚はほとんどいませんが、魚はたくさん見れました。そしてなんとここで早くもカメさんと遭遇！！サンドバー付近で見れるのはめったにないらしく、スタッフも驚いていました。
船に戻るとお食事タイム。とってもおいしくておかわりまでしてしまいました。次はスポットを変えてカメさんの生息地域へ。シュノーケリングしながらここでさらに２匹見ることができました。
次は船に戻りカメさんの甲羅干しを見に行きます。海面にプカプカ浮いて甲羅干しをしているカメさんを５~６匹発見！！
あんなに大きな海亀が普通に海で泳いでいることが本当にもう新鮮で驚きで感動しっぱなしでした。水中カメラでバッチリ撮ることもでき、最高の体験ができました。ハワイに行ったら毎回参加したいと思うツアーでした。

船に乗るときは先頭付近(ここから乗り降りします)を陣取ることをお勧めします。そしてなんでも早めに行動を。せっかくカメさんが居ても後から来ると既にもういない・・・なんてこともありますので。カメの甲羅干しも一番見れる位置だと思います。

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's perfectly fine to participate alone! 一人参加でも大丈夫！

Reviewed by: LIZ

There were 12 Japanese participants and 4 staff members, and the class representative, Yuriko, warmly welcomed us, easing our nerves. By the time we set out to sea on the Zodiac, I had already made friends with the other participants. No one experienced seasickness.

We went into the water twice and were captivated by a huge pod of dolphins that couldn't fit in the camera frame. We also saw three sea turtles, one of which came up to the surface, but it was surrounded by about 15 Western tourists from another tour who, not knowing it was an "endangered species," excitedly touched it and it quickly dove back down... Their manners were terrible (crying).

Swimming with dolphins felt like a dream, and I was truly moved by the many mystical sights we encountered! It seems there are also dolphin school trips and training camps, which I'm curious about. That day was warm, and since we didn't see any whales, I'm planning to join again during a slightly colder season next time!

参加者は12人の日本人と、スタッフさん4人で、学級委員長のユリコさんが明るく迎えてくれて緊張が解けたので、ゾディアックで海に出る頃には他の参加者さんと仲良くなれました。船酔いしてる人もいなかったです。

2回海に入って、カメラの画面に収まりきらない数のイルカの大群が見れて夢中になって泳ぎました。海亀も3匹見れて、1匹は海面に出て来てくれましたが他のツアーの欧米人15人位に囲まれ「絶滅保護動物」と知らないのか騒ぎながら一斉に触りすぐ海底に潜ってしまいました…マナーが悪すぎです(泣)　

イルカと泳げるなんて夢のようだったし、神秘的な光景が沢山見れて本当に感動します!!イルカ修学旅行やイルカ合宿もあるようでそれも気になってます。その日は暖かくクジラが見れなかったので次回はもう少し寒い時期に参加しようと計画中です！

Thank you! ありがと♪

Reviewed by: shizuka

My first overseas trip was to Hawaii.
What I was looking forward to the most was the class with the dolphins.
There were 10 Japanese participants, including my mother and me, 6 foreigners, and 4 staff members...
I guess that made for quite a large group?

I took a spot right at the front of the boat, and despite being blown by the strong wind, I had a really fun time.
After a short ride, we spotted a whale!
It was quite close, and I could hear the sound of it spouting water.
After seeing the whale, we went searching for the dolphin teachers...

There they were!
A bottlenose dolphin teacher.
However, it seemed that the bottlenose dolphin couldn't swim with us, so we just watched it, but it swam alongside the boat.
It was so close that I felt like I could almost touch it!
I was so excited and thrilled!
I wanted to keep playing tag with it... (laughs)

Though it was hard to say goodbye to the bottlenose dolphin, we moved on to search for the striped dolphin teacher.
Then we discovered a group of them!
I heard they were sleeping...
So, we quietly entered the water, trying not to splash, and put our faces in the water to watch the dolphin teachers.
Seeing so many dolphins swimming right below me was incredibly exciting and mysterious...
It's a shame I couldn't see them up close, but some participants might have had a good view?
I wanted to spend more time with the striped dolphins...
Reluctantly, we moved on to the next point to see the sea turtles.
Here, wearing life jackets was optional.
So, I decided not to wear one...
But it was cold, so I had borrowed a wetsuit from the start, which made it difficult to dive properly, but I was surprised to see a large sea turtle right next to me!
We swam together for a few seconds.
The sea turtle took a breath and dove deep, and I thought about following it, but I couldn't dive like the turtle... (sigh)
Next time I come to Hawaii, I definitely want to participate again!
I learned a few tips, so next time, I'm eager to see many dolphin teachers.
The only downside was that it was cold...
Am I just too sensitive to the cold? (laughs)
I'm looking forward to participating during a warmer season next time.
Thank you very much, and I hope to do this again!☆

初めての海外旅行が、今回のハワイ。
そして何よりも楽しみにしていたのが、【イルカ中学】の授業でした。
参加者は、私と母を含め、日本人が10名、外国の方が6名、スタッフさんが4名・・・。
人数的には、多かったのかな？

私はボートの真ん前を陣取りスゴイ風にあおられながらも、とっても楽しい時間でした。
少し走ると、クジラさんが♪
結構近くにいたりして、潮を吹く音が聞こえました。
クジラさんを見た後は、イルカ先生探しに。。。

いました！
バンドウイルカ先生が。
でも、バンドウ先生は一緒に泳ぐことが出来ないらしく、ミテルだけでしたが、ボートと一緒に泳いでくれました。
とっても近くで、手で触れそうな至近距離！
ドキドキワクワクです♪
ずっと一緒に追いかけっこをしたいくらい。。。（笑）

名残惜しかったけど、バンドウ先生とバイバイして、今度はハシナガイルカ先生探しに。
そして群れでいる先生を発見♪
話によると、寝てるそうな・・・？
なので、そぉ~っと海に入って足をばたつかせないようにして海に顔をつけてイルカ先生ウォッチング。
沢山のイルカ先生が、自分の真下をスゥ~ッって泳いでいくのは、とっても興奮で、とっても不思議で・・・。
至近距離では見れなかったのが残念ですが、参加者した人の中では、良い感じに見れた人もいたかも？
ハシナガ先生とも、もっともっと居たかったけど。。。
後ろ髪を引かれつつも、次のウミガメさんのポイントへ移動。
ココではライフジャッケットの着用は自由。
なので、私はなしにして・・・。
でも、寒かったので、最初からウェットスーツを借りてきてたので、うまく潜ったり出来ませんでしたが、大きなウミガメさんが、すぐ真横にいてビックリ！
数秒でしたが一緒に泳いでました。
ウミガメさんは、息を吸って？深く下へもぐって行ってしまい、ついていこうと思ったけど、ウミガメさんのようには潜れず。。。（苦笑）
次回ハワイに来たらまた絶対に参加させてもらいたいです♪
チョットコツを覚えたので、今度は、沢山イルカ先生を見る気満々です。
残念なのは、寒かったこと・・・。
私が寒がりすぎなのか？（笑）
もう少し暖かい時期に参加するのを楽しみにしています。
また、是非よろしくお願い致します☆

The weather wasn't very good and it was a bit chilly, which was disappointing. However, the guide was very cheerful and it was fun. Also, we encountered a sea turtle, but it was really fast and we couldn't see it. It seems like the people at the front were able to see it... I want to try again. I would love to participate again!

あまり天気が良くなく肌寒かったので残念でした。でもガイドさんがとても陽気で楽しかったです。あと、ウミガメも遭遇したのですが、すごくスピードが速くてみられませんでした。先頭の方にいた人たちはみられたみたいでした。。。再チャレンジしたいなぁ。また、参加したいです！！

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＞

It became a good memory. 良い思い出になりました

Reviewed by: まきこ

I wanted to meet the fish when I went to Hawaii, so I was looking for a tour. Since it was just my son, who is 10 years old and has never swum in the ocean, and me, a complete beginner, I thought we wouldn't be able to adventure without a guide. Although it was a bit pricey, I decided on this tour! I also read everyone's experiences and thought it sounded great.

If I remember correctly, the language option was only in English, but our guide, Alan, was very good at Japanese as he studied it in college and had lived in Nagoya.

After being picked up at the hotel, we adjusted our fin sizes at the shop and loaded our gear before heading to Hanauma Bay. It was a cold, cloudy day with strong winds. I thought there would be no place to put valuables, so I didn't bring any (I only had 10 dollars!). Alan had a locked box, but I felt embarrassed because I had nothing to put in it...

It was really cold, and my son was just shivering. Since we were the only participants, Alan and I held my son's hands and started swimming. We were able to see various fish, as if we were swimming in an aquarium, and we even encountered turtles! It was so moving!

I don't think I could have had this experience alone due to my fear. Alan was a gentle guide, and we made wonderful memories. I would love to participate again if I have the chance.

　ハワイに行ったらお魚さん達に会いたいなあと思い、ツアーを探していました。ほぼ初心者の私と海では泳いだことのない10歳の息子と二人だったのでガイドさんがいないと冒険できないなと思い、少々高めでしたがこのツアーに決定！
皆さんの体験談も読んでいいなと思いました。
　記憶では言語の欄が、英語のみだったような気がしたのですが、ガイドのアランさんは大学で日本語を学び、名古屋にも住んでいたことがあるという日本語が上手な方でした。
　ホテルでのピックアップが済むとお店でフィンのサイズをあわせ機材を積み込みハナウマ湾へ出発。
　この日は風が強く曇っていて寒い日でした。置くところがないと思って貴重品は持っていかなかったのですが（10ドルしかもっていきませんでした！）アランさんが鍵つきのボックスを持っていましたが、何も入れるものがなくてはずかしいような・・・・
　本当に寒い日で息子は寒くて震えているだけ・・参加したのが私達だけなのもあり、アランさんと私で息子の手を引いて泳ぎ始めると水族館の中を泳いでいるように色々なお魚、それから亀さんにも本当に会えました！感激です！
　自分ひとりでは恐怖心もありこんな体験はできなかったと思います。またガイドのアランさん、ジェントルな方でした。素敵な思い出ができました。また機会があったら参加させていただきたいと思います。

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＞

I want to visit Hanauma Bay again and again!! 何度でも訪れたい、ハナウマ湾！！

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I participated alone on April 13, 2009. I joined the morning course, and there were a total of five people in the group, including myself and a Canadian family of four (parents and two elementary school-aged sons). Our guide, Alan, was very proficient in Japanese and explained how to use the snorkeling equipment in a mix of Japanese and English.

As for the sea, while we could see large fish in the shallow areas, the visibility wasn't very high. Especially on this day, the waves were quite high, and even as someone with diving experience, I felt a bit nervous when swimming out. The two Canadian sons had one being guided by Alan and the other by their father, and it looked quite challenging for them. While it's hard to generalize since it depends on the weather, I recommend that those who are considering signing up and are new to snorkeling or not confident in their physical strength keep in mind that such situations can occasionally occur.

That said, the high satisfaction with the tour came from the beauty of the location at Hanauma Bay and the attentiveness of the guide! Before entering, we watched a 10-minute film, which was informative about environmental protection and safety in the ocean at Hanauma Bay.

If I have the opportunity to go to Hawaii again, I would definitely want to participate in this tour!

2009/4/13に女性ひとりで参加しました。
朝のコースに参加しましたが、私の他にカナダ人ファミリー4人（両親・小学生の息子さん2人）の計5人のグループでした。ガイドのアランさんは日本語がとても上手で、シュノーケリング道具の使い方などは日本語と英語を交え説明してくれました。

肝心な海は…というと、浅瀬に大きな魚が見られるものの、透明度はあまり高くなかったです。特にこの日は波が高く、沖に向かって泳ぐ場面ではダイビング経験者の私でも少し緊張しました（カナダ人の2人の息子さんは、ひとりはアランさんが、もうひとりはお父さんが手を引きながら一緒に泳いでいましたが…かなり大変そうでした＾＾;）
天候によるものなので一概には言えませんが、これから申し込まれる方でシュノーケリングが初めての方や体力に自信がない方は、稀にそういうケースもあることを頭の隅にいれておくことをオススメします。

とはいえ、ツアーの満足度が高かったのは、ハナウマ湾のロケーションの美しさとガイドさんの気配り！また入場前に10分ほどの映画を見るのですが、ハナウマ湾の環境保護と海の安全に対する意識の高さも勉強になり良かったです。

もしまたハワイに行く機会があれば、ぜひ参加したいと思えるツアーでした！

It is moving. 感動します

Reviewed by: Hana

I participated with my cousin and her 5-year-old child. The weather was clear on the day, but the wind was very strong. The boat was rocking a lot, and we couldn't even eat the snacks that were served along the way. However, we encountered many dolphins. During the first try, we could even hear the dolphins' calls. Unfortunately, during the second try, we were late and couldn't see anything because I was calming the child who didn't want to get in the water, while others seemed very satisfied with the large number of whales they saw compared to the first try. It seems that it's a bit much for a 5-year-old. But it's okay to leave the child on the boat because the staff takes care of them. I brought my camera to take pictures of the dolphins, but the staff took many photos and will send them to us via email later. So, it seems better to just focus on watching the dolphins. We couldn't go to the Dragon Palace, but we did encounter whales and mantas. I think I will participate again next time.

いとことその子供（５歳）と３人で参加しました。
当日は、晴天でしたが、風がとても強かったです。
船は大揺れで、途中出された軽食も食べるどころではありませんでした。
ですが、たくさんのイルカに遭遇。一回目のトライでは、イルカの鳴き声まで聞くことができました。二回目のトライでは、出遅れてしまい何も見ることが出来ず、残念。というのも、水中に入らない子供をなだめていたからで、他の人たちは、一回目よりも大量のクジラに大満足のようでした。
やはり、５歳の子供には、無理のようです。でも、船上に子供を残しても、スタッフの方が面倒をみてくださるので大丈夫です。自分でイルカの写真を撮ろうとカメラを持っていったのですが、スタッフの方がたくさんの写真を撮っていて、あとでメールに送信してくださいます。ですから、ただ、イルカを見ることだけに専念する方がよさそうです。
竜宮城に行くことはできませんでしたが、クジラやマンタにも遭遇できましたよ。
また、次回も参加しようと思います。

All-Inclusive Kailua Beach Day Experience - Lunch, Snorkel, Bike & Gear Rental

Needs improvement for families

Reviewed by: Darlene

The beach was beautiful. Very good for boogie boarding but snorkeling was not happening unless you took a thirty minute walk to get there with all of your equipment. To get to the beach was a five minute walk which was not bad but there was no transportation offered to the family to get to the snorkeling part of the beach. Really this outing was over priced. Carrying four boogie boards, towels, and snorkeling gear with kids is not fun. So we did not to get to go snorkeling here. There should have been a small shuttle offered to get to certain areas of the beach. Who wants to be carrying this equipment back and forth to the beach. The meals offered was good but again we had to wait till just before leaving to eat because the food services are back at the rental facility. All they need to offer is a shuttle and I would not hesitate returning.

The best!! 最高！！

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

Alan's escort service was excellent. After picking us up at the hotel, he helped us find the perfect fins at his nearby office, and then we headed to Hanauma Bay. Our family of three, including our 8-year-old daughter, joined a group of five with an American couple.

Upon arriving at Hanauma Bay, Alan collected and paid for everyone's entrance fees, and while we watched a movie, he waited with a large safety box. After the movie, we boarded the tram to the bay without any wait. He lent each of us a mat, explained how to use the snorkeling gear, and we went into the sea together.

He provided careful guidance in the shallow areas to get us started. He took my 8-year-old daughter's hand and swam with her, and we even encountered a turtle along the way. Alan guided us to places we wouldn't have been able to go without his escort, and I was very impressed with his friendly and attentive service. My daughter says she loves Alan!

アランさんのエスコート最高です。
ホテルにピックアップ後、近くのアランさんの事務所でぴったりのフィンをあわせてくれました。そしてハナウマ湾へ出発。
我が家は８歳の娘と３人家族での参加。一緒にアメリカ人夫婦と５人グループでした。
ハナウマ湾に到着後、アランさんが全員の入場料を集め払ってくれて、映画を見ている間に大きなセーフティーボックスをつんで待っていてくれました。映画終了後、待つことなくトラムにのり湾へ
ゴザを一人１枚貸していただき、シュノーケリングの使い方を説明していただき、一緒に海へ
浅いところで丁寧に指導してもらって、始まりです。
８歳の娘のてを取り、一緒に泳いで案内していただき、途中で亀にも出会うことができました。
エスコートなしでは行けなかったようなところまで案内でして頂き、フレンドリーで丁寧なエスコートをしていただけたアランさんに大感激です。娘もアランさん大好きと言っています。
