We participated as a family. I had heard about the beauty of Hanauma Bay from friends, but it was beyond my imagination! Our guide, Alan, was very kind and escorted us, allowing us to see various fish, which made the kids very happy. Large fish swam right in front of us, and although I couldn't identify the names, schools of fish swam by, making even the adults excited! I was hoping to swim with turtles, but I learned that they appear during high tide, and since we participated in the AM (low tide) tour, we couldn't see any. I definitely recommend joining the PM (high tide) tour for those who want to swim with turtles! However, the AM tour has fewer people, allowing for a more relaxed experience to enjoy the beautiful sea and fish, so I recommend it for those who want to take it easy.
ファミリーで参加しました。ハナウマ湾の美しさは友人から聞いていましたが、想像以上でした!ガイドのアランさんが優しくエスコートしてくださり、色々な魚を見ることができましたので、子供たちが大喜びでした。目の前に大きな魚が泳いできたり、名前は分かりませんが魚の群れが横切ったり、大人でもワクワクできましたよ!亀と泳ぐことを期待していましたが、亀は“満ち潮”時に現れるそうで、AM(引き潮)のツアーに参加していたため見ることができませんでした。亀と泳ぎたい人は絶対PM(満ち潮)に参加することをお勧めします!でも、AMは、人も少なくゆったりとハナウマ湾を楽しめますので、のんびりときれいな海と魚を楽しみたい方にはお勧めします。

If you want to swim slowly with dolphins, this is definitely the place to go!! I have participated in many other companies' wild dolphin swimming tours, but this is the first time I was able to swim leisurely with dolphins to my heart's content☆ When I was among the pod of dolphins, it truly felt like a dream. Even when the dolphins swam away, we didn’t chase them; instead, we waited for them to come back♪ The dolphins came back to us multiple times. That was probably thanks to our guide, Yuriko. Yuriko is such a fascinating person. She swims with the dolphins as if she is having a conversation with them, and it seems the dolphins enjoy swimming with her too. The other staff members were marine biologists, so they were very knowledgeable about marine life. And their Japanese was excellent! They made our conversations enjoyable.
And of course, it’s not just about the dolphins. They also take you to the Dragon Palace. Initially, we went to the waters of Makaha, but the day we went, the waves were high and the visibility wasn’t great. So, they changed the destination. They said there weren’t many waves near the power plant, so we headed there instead. As promised, it was a beautiful spot where we could see plenty of fish and even swim with turtles. It was nice that they adjusted to the situation like that.
On the way back, we encountered another pod of dolphins. This time, we leisurely watched the dolphins from the boat. The dolphins showcased their signature jumps.
It was truly a fulfilling experience.
Lastly, I usually get seasick, but I was fine on this boat! It was very fast and felt like gliding over the waves. It was so much fun, like being on an amusement ride!
イルカとゆっくり泳ぎたいのなら、断然ココです!!
今まで何度も他社の野生のイルカと泳ぐツアーに参加しましたが、あんなにもゆっくり思う存分イルカと一緒に泳いだのはココがはじめてです☆
イルカの群れの中にいるときは、本当に夢の様な時間でした。
イルカが行ってしまっても無理に追いかけたりせず、またイルカが帰ってくるのを待っています♪イルカ達は何度も私達の元に来てくれました。
それはきっとガイドのYurikoさんがいたからじゃないかな。Yurikoさんはとっても不思議な人。
まるでイルカと会話しているように楽しそうにイルカ達と一緒に泳ぎます。イルカ達もYurikoさんと一緒に泳ぐのが楽しいのでしょうね。
他のスタッフさんも海洋学者ということで、とっても海の生物に詳しかったです。そして日本語がとってもお上手!会話でも楽しませてくれました。
そして、もちろんイルカだけではありません。竜宮城へも連れて行ってくれます。はじめはマカハの海へ行ったのですが、私達が行った日は波が高く、透明度があまり良くありませんでした。そしたら、行き先変更。発電所近くは波があまりないということで、そちらの方へ行きました。話の通り、とっても綺麗な場所で、お魚もたくさん見れましたし、カメさんとも一緒に泳ぐことができました。
こんな風に状況に合わせて対応してくれるところも嬉しいですね。
帰りには、またイルカの群れに遭遇。今度はボートの上からのんびりイルカを眺めました。お得意のジャンプをたくさん披露してくれたイルカ。
本当に心満たされた時間でした。
最後に、私はいつも船酔いしてしまうのですが、こちらのボートは大丈夫でしたよ!とっても早くて波の上を滑る感じ。アトラクションに乗っているみたいでとっても楽しかったです!

It was our family's first experience as a group of four. The staff member was really great at leading us, and our family was very satisfied. We considered a course without an instructor, but I thought it would be tough for beginners without guidance from someone experienced. Thank you very much to the instructor!
家族4人で初めての体験でした。スタッフのお姉さんが、本当にほど良くリードしてくれましたので、家族で大満足です。 インストラクター無しのコースも検討したのですが、初心者には、経験者のリード無しでは、厳しいと思いました。 インストラクターのお姉さん、どうもありがとうございました!

Alan was prompt and greeted us with a friendly smile and manner. He was thorough in his explanations and made sure we understood his message. Kiko (sp) was great with her bubbly personality and her delivery of sea creatures to the girls. The sea life was incredible and the girls had a grat time. We all commented on the quality of equipment as well which was top notch. Go, try them out. I would recomment it.

Last year during my trip to Hawaii, I did a dolphin swim with a different tour. That experience was so wonderful that I wanted to do it again this year, so I searched for a tour and found this incredibly affordable one, which I decided to join. Honestly, I was worried about the quality compared to the previous tour since it was much cheaper, but... those worries were completely unnecessary (laughs). On the contrary, it was so much better than the previous tour!! Anyway, the time spent swimming with the dolphins was long!! As a huge dolphin lover, this was the most delightful aspect for me.
Waianae, located at the western tip of Oahu, is about an hour's drive from Waikiki and is a truly quiet and beautiful place with untouched nature and few tourists. Along the way, we were shown some small sightseeing spots, so it wasn't boring at all. Moreover, the hotel pickup time was about an hour later than the previous tour, making the morning much easier. But the content of the tour was more fulfilling than the previous one. The warm hospitality from the local staff, including our tour guide Yuriko, who speaks Japanese well, was truly healing. There was also a professional photographer who took pictures during the tour, and we could buy those photos later, making it perfect for creating memories.
Maybe it was a lucky day, but we encountered a pod of over 100 dolphins, and there were dolphins everywhere we looked!! I was so excited, it was overwhelming!! Dolphins were jumping all around!! There were also many baby dolphins swimming closely with their mothers, which was incredibly cute!! I couldn't get enough!! They also took us to a sea turtle spot, and I was able to touch a turtle for the first time. And it happened twice!! Furthermore, on the way back to the harbor, we encountered a whale that should have already returned to Alaska!! It was truly an exciting tour. According to the staff, they are planning one-day and one-week tours, so I'm really looking forward to participating again next time. For a first tour, it was unbelievably wonderful. I have no intention of trying other tours in the future!! I want to join this tour again next year. I'm really grateful to all the staff who warmly welcomed me, a solo participant who was feeling anxious!! Thank you very much!! Since it's a special occasion, I'll attach a photo of the mother and baby dolphins from that time. They're just too cute!
去年のハワイ旅行の時に、別のツアーですがドルフィンスイムをしました。その体験が素晴らしかったので、今年もやりたくてツアーを探したところ、とってもお値打ちなこのツアーを見つけて参加を決めました。正直、以前のツアーに比べてかなりお値打ちのため、どんな内容なのかを心配をしていましたが・・・その心配はまったく無駄なものでした(笑)。それどころか、以前参加したツアーとは比べ物にならないくらい素晴らしいものでした!!とにかく、イルカと一緒に泳げる時間が長い!!大のイルカ好きの私にとっては何よりも嬉しいことです。ワイキキから車で一時間、手付かずの大自然が広がるオアフ島の西の果てのワイアナエという場所は、観光客も少なく本当に静かで美しい場所です。道中もちょっとした観光スポットを教えてもらえたりするので、退屈しません。しかもホテルのピックアップの時間が以前のツアーと比べて一時間ほど遅いのですごく朝が楽です。でも内容は以前のツアーよりも充実していました。ツアーガイドのゆりこさん始め、日本語の上手な地元のスタッフの暖かい対応にも本当に癒されます。ツアーの様子を撮影してくれるプロのカメラマンさんもいて、後からその写真を買うこともできて、思い出作りにはもってこいですね。その日はラッキーデーだったのか、100頭を超えるイルカの群れに遭遇し、どこを見てもイルカだらけ!!感無量とはこのことだ!!なんて興奮していました(笑)。イルカジャンプもいたるところで炸裂してました!!ベビーイルカもたくさんいて、お母さんイルカと寄り添って泳いでいる姿は本当にキュート!!たまりません!!海亀スポットにも連れて行ってくれて、初めて亀に触ることができました。しかも2回も!!さらに、港への帰り道には、今はもうアラスカに帰ってしまっているはずの鯨と遭遇!!本当にエキサイティングなツアーでした。スタッフの方の話では1日ツアーや1週間ツアーも企画中とのことで、次回の参加が本当に楽しみです。第一号ツアーにしてはできすぎなくらいに本当に素晴らしいものでした。今後は他のツアーには浮気するつもりはありません!!来年もこのツアーに参加したいと思っています。一人参加で不安がっていた私を暖かく迎えてくれたスタッフのみなさんに本当に感謝です!!ありがとうございました!!せっかくなので、そのときの親子イルカの写真を添付します。かわいすぎます

I was a bit nervous about snorkeling for the first time, but thanks to the careful instruction, I was able to see some cute fish. Since we were two women participating, I think we wouldn't have been able to snorkel if it was just for equipment rental... it was great to have a guide.
The tour included various amenities like bus rides, water, snacks, and mats, so it felt very comprehensive. With a guide included, I think the price is reasonable. It's different from cheaper tours.
It was a pity that we couldn't see any sea turtles (it depends on luck) and that the time was short (I might have reached my physical limit), but the guide was really wonderful!
はじめてのシュノーケリングで少しドキドキしましたが、丁寧に教えて頂いてかわいいお魚達をみることができました。女性2人で参加で多分、機材レンタルだけだったらシュノーケリングは無理でした・・・・ガイドさん付きで良かったです。
上り下りのバスや水やスナック、ござなど色々付いていていたせりつくせり、ガイドも付くので料金的にも妥当だと思います。安いツアーとは違います。
ウミガメが見れなかった(運次第)、時間が短い(体力的には限界だったかも)が残念でした。ガイドさんは、とても良い方ですよ!!

In February, I participated with my family. According to our guide, this tour is the closest you can get to the sandbar. The scenery on the way to the sandbar by boat was very beautiful. My 4-year-old daughter tried snorkeling for the first time, but she couldn't do it, so our family played around the boat. Along the way, a boy around 6 or 7 years old also seemed to have trouble and returned to the boat. In the end, we were able to see a lucky turtle from the boat.
2月に家族で参加しました。ガイドさんの話では
ここのツアーが一番サンドバーに近づけれるといっていました。船でサンドバーまで向かう途中の景色は、とても綺麗でした。
4歳の娘が初シュノーケリングにトライしてみましたが、無理でしたので、うちの家族は船の周辺で遊んでいました。途中、6~7才位の男の子も出来なかったみたいで、船へ引き返してきました。
最後、船から幸運の?亀も見ることが出来ました。

Having a guide was really nice since this was my first time ever snorkeling. Alan taught us the basics and provided us with equipment needed. It was great seeing all the colorful fish. One downfall (which wasn't anyone's fault) was that the water was really rough the day we went, so the experience was cut short since we couldn't go out as far as planned.
Would recommend to first-time snorkelers!

Since my family is prone to seasickness, we usually avoid this type of tour, but we experienced absolutely no seasickness! We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The lunch was a simple buffet on the boat, but it was very delicious. There was also snorkeling time at a spot where we could see sea turtles, and my second-grade son had a great time swimming among the adults with his father.
He excitedly reported, "I swam over a sea turtle, and it suddenly turned and bumped into me! It was rough, and I was surprised! But since it bumped into me, I won't get in trouble, right?" (We are not supposed to touch the sea turtles.)
There is no shade except on the boat, so sunscreen and rash guards are essential. A waterproof camera is also a must (they offer a waterproof instant camera for $20 for those who forget, but it's definitely cheaper to buy one in Japan).
After getting wet in our swimsuits, it can be surprisingly cold on the boat with the wind, so in addition to a bath towel, I think having something like a windbreaker would be helpful.
船酔いしやすいので、なかなかこの手のツアーには手が出ない我が家なのですが、まったく船酔いなし!すっかり楽しんでまいりました。ランチも、船の上での簡単なブッフェなのに、とてもおいしかったです。ウミガメに遭えるスポットでのシュノーケリングタイムもあり、小2の息子は父親を従え、オトナたちにまざって楽しんできました。
「ウミガメの上を泳ぎ、ウミガメが急に方向転換してぶつかってきたんだ!ざらざらしててびっくりした!でも、あっちがぶつかってきたんだから、タイホされないよね!」と大興奮で報告してくれました(=ウミガメは触ってはいけないのです)。
船の上以外、日かげはないので、日焼け止めやラッシュガードは必須。防水カメラも必須(忘れた人用に防水インスタントカメラを$20であっせんしてくれますが、日本で買って行った方が断然安いです)。
水着が濡れた後、船の上で風にあたると意外と寒いので、バスタオルはもちろんですが、ウインドブレーカーのようなものがあるといいかと思います。

Hawaii was my third visit, and this tour is highly recommended. From the moment I joined the tour, I completely lost track of time. The staff were all great and fun, and the island, which felt like paradise, appeared in the middle of the ocean, truly living up to its name. It was incredibly beautiful...
Also, snorkeling around the coral was amazing! My child was so sad to leave that when we got back to the hotel, they were in a state of wanting to go again. The meals, although light snacks, were more than enough for me and very satisfying. This is a tour I would love to join again as a repeat visitor. Thank you very much!! I am truly moved.
ハワイは、3回目でしたが、今回のこのツアーはお薦めです。ツアー参加した瞬間から時間を忘れてしまうぐらいでした。スタッフがいい人ばかりで面白い、天国の島も、なんでこんな事になるのと思うぐらい、海の真ん中に島が出現して本当に、天国の島だったです。凄い綺麗で・・・・
そして、サンゴの周りをシュノーケリングがこれまた最高~、内の子なんぞは、帰りたくないと淋しげで、ホテルに着いた時は、もう一度連れて行けと逆切れ状態でした。食事も軽食とありましたが、私には十分で満足できる食事でした。再度、リピターで参加したいツアーです。ありがとうございました!!

My boyfriend and I went on the Hanauma Bay snorkling adventure. It was great to see the area and we did see a lot of fish but the activity was a little slow and boring for us (we had both snorkled before) I recommend this activity for first timers or those with children. We did enjoy it but not as much as we would have if it was a little more exciting or faster paced. The guide was nice and very friendly but not very informative about what we saw.

Aloha!!
I've been to Oahu several times, but I hadn't been able to visit Hanauma Bay due to the inconvenience of access. However, this time I used a tour to make the most of my limited time.
Since it was a guided tour, we were able to safely go quite far out, and I got to see sea turtles and sharks up close.
I recommend the expert-guided tour for first-timers!
アロハ!!
何度かオアフ島には行っているのですが、ハナウマ湾へは現地までのアクセスの不便さ等で中々行くことが出来ませんでしたが、今回限られた時間の中で効率的に回るために利用させていただきました。
ガイドさんがついてくれるツアーでしたので、結構沖のほうまで安全に行くことができ、海亀やサメも近くで見ることができました。
初めての方は達人ガイド付のツアーがお勧めですよ。

I participated on December 22, 2007, local time. On the day of the event, I was picked up by car from Waikiki, and after about a 45-minute drive, we arrived at Kaneohe Bay. It was raining on the way, and I was worried about the weather, but I was told that the mountain roads leading to Kaneohe Bay often experience rain, so it wasn't a problem.
When we actually arrived at Kaneohe Bay, the weather was partly sunny. We took a yacht to the sandbar, and by the time we reached the sandbar, it was sunny, and the sea was very beautiful. The kids were satisfied playing in the water.
After that, we had the opportunity to snorkel at two locations. The first spot was for seeing fish, and the second was for seeing turtles. My 7-year-old child can swim about 25 meters, but the deep water where they couldn't touch the bottom seemed scary, so they decided not to snorkel. Only my spouse and I participated in snorkeling. Many families had their small children waiting on the yacht. However, the staff kept an eye on them, so it was reassuring. All the staff were full of hospitality, and the conversations were enjoyable. I particularly enjoyed chatting with a staff member named Yuko.
Also, it gets cold on the yacht after coming out of the water, so I recommend bringing a bath towel and a long-sleeved jacket. Additionally, there was a sale of disposable underwater cameras on the yacht for $20, and many people purchased them, but if possible, I recommend buying one in advance or bringing a waterproof digital camera. Thanks to bringing my waterproof digital camera, I was able to take many photos.
現地時間の07年12月22日に参加しました。
当日はワイキキより車でピックアップしてもらい車で走ること約45分程度でカネオヘ湾へ到着しました。途中、雨が降っており天気が心配でしたが、カネオヘ湾へ行く途中の山道は、よく雨が降るので問題ないということでした。
実際カネオヘ湾に到着すると晴れ時々曇りという天気でした。ヨットに乗ってサンドバーへ行くのですが、サンドバーへ到着する頃には晴れており、大変綺麗な海で水遊びをして子供も満足した様子。
その後は、ショノーケルを2箇所で体験できます。1箇所目は、魚を見る所で、2箇所目は、カメを見る所でシュノーケルができます。7歳の子供は25m程度は泳げるのですが、やはり足のつかない深い海は怖いらしくシュノーケルは断念。夫婦だけでシュノーケルに参加しました。他家族のお子様も小さい子供はヨットで待機というパターンが多かったです。でもスタッフが見守ってくれますので安心です。スタッフの方々全員がホスピタリティーにあふれており、トークも楽しく満足です。特にスタッフのユウコさんの会話は楽しかったです。
あと、海からあがってヨットの上は寒いので、必ずバスタオルと上着(長袖)をもっていく事をお勧めします。
また、現地のヨットの中で使い捨て水中カメラの販売(20ドル)があり、多くの方が購入されていましたが、出来たら事前に購入していくか、防水用デジカメ持参をお勧めします。私は防水デジカメを持参したおかげで多くの写真撮影ができました。

I participated in this tour again this year, following last year. This year, it was just my spouse and me, but the experience was even richer than last year. First, we got very close to the turtles (but don't touch them!), swimming slowly together. After that, we encountered some hidden treasures like the red snapper, then changed locations to find seals lounging on the rocks. We dove again and got surrounded by a school of fish. As expected from the experts, they know all the best spots.
They provide all the equipment, and they also lend you life jackets (which help you float and observe slowly, and they protect your chest in relatively shallow areas). It may seem more expensive than other tours, but the service is perfect and absolutely worth it.
去年に続いて 今年も このツアーに参加しました
今年は私たち夫婦2名のみしたが、去年にまして内容の濃いものとなりました。まずカメさんに最接近(さわってはいけませんよ)し 一緒にゆっくり泳ぎ、その後は 穴場に隠れている金目鯛みたいな人たちに遭遇、場所を変えて 岩場にアザラシがごっろと甲羅干し遭遇、再度潜って 魚群の群れに巻かれました。流石達人 ポイントを押さえていますよ。
道具は全て用意してくださいますし、ライフジャケットも貸してくれます(これは浮力がついてゆっくり観察できますし、結構浅い場所では胸まわりを保護してくれます)
他のツアーより値が張るように見えますがサービスは完璧絶対良いですよ。

I participated in a tour on the morning of December 3rd. Although the waves were rough and the water was murky that day, I was generally satisfied with the staff's response. I was able to snorkel once, but I couldn't do the second snorkeling with the sea turtles due to the rough waves. (I heard that the wave height in North Shore exceeded 9 meters.) However, thanks to Eli, who took the boat to a spot where sea turtles were known to appear, I was able to see the sea turtles I had longed to see. At first, the local staff pointed out the direction when they found a sea turtle, but it was difficult to spot them. As time went on, I was able to find sea turtles myself. After a while, it was an amazing situation where there were sea turtles all around the boat in a 360-degree view. Next time, I would like to participate with my wife. The photo with Eli is a treasure!
12月3日の午前中にツアーに参加した、まさおです。
当日は波も荒く、水も濁っていて少し残念でしたが、スタッフの対応も良く概ね満足でした。
1回目のシュノーケルは出来たのですが、2回目の海亀とのシュノーケルは波が荒く出来ませんでした。(ノースシュアでは波の高さが9メートルを超えていたとの情報もありました)・・・でも、エリさんが海亀の出没するスポットに船を走らせてくれたので、念願の海亀を見る事が出来ました。
最初は現地スタッフが海亀を見つけては指を指して方向を教えてくれたのですが、中々見つける事が出来なかったのですが、時間が経つにつれ海亀を見つける事が出来る様になって来ました。暫くすると、船の周り360度、海亀だらけと言う状況で大感激でした。次回はワイフと共に参加したいと思います。エリさんとのツ−ショットの写真は宝物です?

But what impressed me even more was the staff's enthusiasm to ensure that customers have a great time and leave happy! The BBQ was also very delicious, and I definitely recommend it to anyone planning to go to Hawaii. Thank you, Eri!
友達同士4名で参加。「天国の海」と言うからにはいったいどれだけキレイな海?という期待には満足な場所です。12月であまり天気の良い日ではなかったのですがそれでも十分でした。時期を変えてまた訪れたいと思わせる海です。でもそれにも増して印象に残ったのがスタッフの「お客様になんとか楽しんで帰ってもらおう!」という熱意です。BBQもとても美味しかったしハワイへ行くという人には是非お勧めですね。エリさんどうもありがとう!!

I participated on the morning of December 6th! o(^▽^)o
That morning, there was a moment when it rained heavily like a waterfall, and the weather hadn't been good the day before, so I was really worried. But once I got into Troy's car, who picked me up from the hotel, and crossed the highway tunnel, the weather was really nice! (^O^)
Chad, Etta, and Erin, who kept talking on the microphone, took us on the tour. They were all so cute and funny, which made the experience feel great!
The ocean was the most beautiful I've ever seen, and I was amazed!!
Even so, the guides were a bit disappointed, saying, "It's murky!" They genuinely wanted to show us something even more beautiful, thinking about the tour guests. They were really warm-hearted people! ☆
Even though we were meeting for the first time, we became quite friendly with the other tour guests, and everyone on the boat felt like family, creating a homey atmosphere (*^-^)b
I could only catch a glimpse of the turtles from a distance (they say you usually see them up close 99.9% of the time), but instead, I was able to encounter the very rare manta ray!
Then, they took photos of us in the heavenly ocean and made them look cinematic with Hawaiian music (this was an extra charge, but it was quite a deal!).
If I go to Hawaii, this is a place I would want to visit again and again!\(^_^)/
12月6日の午前中に参加しましたぁo(^▽^)o
当日の朝は、一瞬滝のような雨が降ってたし、前の日も天気がよくなかったから、めっちゃ心配したんだけど、ホテルにお迎えに来てくれた、トロイさんの車に乗り込んで、ハイウェイのトンネルを越えると、そこは、とってもいぃ天気(^O^)
ツアーにつれてってくれた、チャドさん・エッテさんそして、マイクでずぅぅうぅぅぅぅぅうぅぅぅぅぅぅっとしゃべり続けていたエリさん(・ω・)/みんなとってもCuteでおもしろくって、それだけでもかなり、いぃ感じ♪
海は、今まで見たことないくらい綺麗で、びっくり!!
それでも、ガイドさんたちは、『濁ってるぅ』とガッカリ気味!もっと綺麗なの見せたいよぉって本気でツアー客のこと考えてくれてさぁo(^-^)oかなりあったかい人たち☆
また、初対面の人たちなのに、ツアー客さんたちともかなりフレンドリーになれて、船にいるみんなが、ファミリーみたいな、アットホームな感じで(*^-^)b
亀は遠くにチラッとしか見ることができなかったけど、(いつもは、99.9%近くで見られるらしい)代わりに、とっても珍しい『マンタ』に出逢うことができましたぁ♪
それから、天国の海で撮ってもらった写真を、ハワイアンの曲にのせてシネマのようにしてくれたり(これは別料金だったけど、かなりお得!!)。
ハワイにいったら、何度でも行きたくなるところでした\(^_^)/

The staff was very accommodating, and the barbecue was delicious. However, since we ate around 3 PM, we couldn't have dinner that evening, so please be cautious when making restaurant reservations. Was it my fault for being hungry and going for seconds after snorkeling? As for the sea, it wasn't like the Kirin Lemon commercial, but unlike Waikiki, the water was clear, and we got to see tropical fish and turtles. Next time, I want to go when the temperature is higher. Be sure to bring towels from the hotel, as it feels quite cold when you come out of the water.
スタッフの対応も良く、バーベキューもとても美味しかったです。ただ、3時前後に食べるので、その日の夕食は食べれなくなりましたので、レストラン等の予約はご注意を。空腹で、シュノーケリングの後などで、お代わりもしてしまった私が悪い?肝心の海ですが、キリンレモンのCMのようではありませんでしたが、ワイキキの海と違い、透明度も高く、熱帯魚も亀さんにも会えました。今度は、もっと気温が高い時期に行きたいです。ホテルからタオル等は必ずお持ちください、海から上がるととても寒く感じます。

Did not enjoy this because of my own shortcomings. Allyn tried to make it easy for me. He is to be commended for that!

I participated on November 20th! Although the weather wasn't great, the staff's stories were enjoyable, and I never got bored (>∀<). I couldn't see the sea turtles underwater, but I did manage to see them from the boat, as they said there was a 99.9% chance of seeing them☆ Seeing the live sea turtles was moving♪ For those participating, please don't shout if you spot a sea turtle! Chad was really cool↑↑ lol.
11月20日に参加して来ました!!
あまり天気がよくなかったのですが、スタッフの方の話は楽しかったし、全然飽きることがなかったです(>∀<)
海亀を水中で見ることは出来なかったのですが、99.9%見れるということで船からちゃんと海亀を見てきました☆
生の海亀は感動しました♪
参加される方は海亀を見つけても大声出さないで下さいネ!
チャドさんは本当かっこよかったです↑↑笑
