Oahu
The sandbar itself was wonderful, but unfortunately, the weather was drizzly... There's nothing we can do about that. The guide was Japanese, so I felt comfortable participating. Even my wife, who usually gets motion sickness, didn't feel sick, so I think that's reassuring as well.
サンドバー自体は素晴らしかったのですが、天気は生憎の小雨…
こればっかりはどうしようもありません。
ガイドは日本の方でしたので、安心して参加できました。
乗り物に弱い妻でも酔わなかったので、その辺も安心できると思います。
Aloha! This is Captain Bruce's Paradise of the Sea Tour. As you mentioned, we can't control the weather, but we are very pleased that you were able to experience the beauty of the sandbar even in those conditions. I was relieved to hear that your wife, who is sensitive to motion, also enjoyed the tour. We, along with our guides, sincerely look forward to your next visit.
アロハ！キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーです。おっしゃるとおりお天気ばかりはどうにもならないのですが、そんな中でもサンドバーの素晴らしさを体験なさっていただいたくことができとてもうれしく思います。乗り物に弱い奥様もツアーを楽しんでくださったと伺い、ほっといたしました。またのお越しをガイドともども心よりお待ちしております。

This time, I participated in the Hanauma Bay snorkeling tour with a veteran guide <snorkel mask, transportation included, Japanese guidance> with a friend! Since another group canceled at the last minute, we were able to enjoy a private experience! Our guide, Dan, was very funny and kind, and I feel like I enjoyed it ten times more than other tours (laughs). They provide everything you need, including snorkels, lifeguards, fins, and mats, so you can join with just a swimsuit! At first, I was nervous and couldn't swim well, but Dan helped me by pulling me along. It was my first time in Hawaii, and Hanauma Bay was truly beautiful; I was constantly amazed! The stunning blue sea, colorful fish, and the long-awaited sea turtles!! I got to see them come up for air right in front of me twice! So moving! They took a lot of photos, which I was able to save from Facebook! It was truly a satisfying tour! Next time, I would like to try diving!
今回、ハナウマ湾 ベテランガイド付きシュノーケリングツアー ＜シュノーケルマスク・送迎付き・日本語案内＞に友人と二人で参加させていただきました！もう一組の方たちが急遽キャンセルということで、貸し切りで楽しめました！ガイドのダンさんがとても面白く優しい方で、他のツアーより１０倍楽しめました気がします(笑)シュノーケル、ライフガード、足ひれ、ゴザ等必要な物は全て貸していただけるので、水着一枚で参加オッケーです！ 最初緊張していてうまく泳げなかった時も、ダンさんが手を引っ張って泳いでくれました。初めてのハワイだったのですが、ハナウマ湾はほんっとうに綺麗で、ずっと感動しっぱなしでした！綺麗なブルーの海、色とりどりの魚、そして念願のウミガメ！！２回も目の前で息継ぎするところを見れました！感動！写真もたくさんとっていただけて、Facebookから保存出来ました！本当に大満足のツアーでした！次回はダイビングをお願いしたいです！

The sea was incredibly beautiful. I wish we could have spent a little more time by the ocean. The staff really got everyone excited, making it a fun memory. I definitely want to go again.
すっごく綺麗な海でした。
海にいられる時間をもう少し長くとってくれたら良いなと思います。
スタッフの方が盛り上げてくれて楽しい思い出になりました。

The sandbar was submerged up to my knees and didn't appear, but the scenery was beautiful, and I had fun swimming with turtles while snorkeling. I also spotted many turtles from the boat! The staff were cheerful and kind, and the handmade hamburgers for lunch exceeded my expectations in taste. I definitely want to revisit the sandbar for a second chance. There were many young people, but it was a friendly and enjoyable tour for all ages.
サンドバーは水面がひざ上まであり現れませんでしたが景色は美しく、シュノーケルで亀と泳ぐ事が出来たので楽しかった。船の上からも沢山の亀を発見！スタッフも明るく親切でお昼の手作りハンバーガーも期待以上の美味しさでした。サンドバーはぜひ再訪してリベンジしたいです。若い人が多いですが、どんな年齢にも優しく楽しいツアーです。

The best excursion of our trip!! Dolphin Excursions staff are very educated and professional. Keep the customer in mind.
Mahalo Red Headed Sister's for your review and joining us. We strive to have the most experienced crew that harbor a bit of magical luck on the side. Hope to see you guys again soon. :) Lisa, Operations Manager
I had an amazing day that exceeded my expectations! First of all, our guide, Julie, was truly wonderful and great at getting everyone excited, which raised our spirits even before we saw the dolphins! Unfortunately, there was a boat from a dolphin protection organization that day, so we couldn't swim with the dolphins, but we were still able to see many wild dolphins up close, which was very moving. (I've heard that days when you can't swim with the dolphins are quite rare, so don't worry.) We also got to see a baby dolphin swimming, which was even more touching. After that, we enjoyed snorkeling. You can rent a wetsuit for $10. Even those who can't swim can definitely give it a try. The atmosphere on the boat was fun throughout the day, making it a very fulfilling experience. I will definitely participate again!
予想以上に素晴らしい1日を過ごせました！まずガイドのジュリさんが本当に素敵な方で、盛り上げ上手なのでイルカを見る前からテンションが高まりました！実はこの日、イルカを保護する団体の船？が出ていたのでイルカと一緒に泳ぐことは残念ながら出来なかったのですが、それでも生で野生のイルカを沢山見ることが出来てとても感動しました。（これが理由でイルカと泳げない日はめったにないそうなので安心して下さい）また、赤ちゃんイルカが泳いでるのも見れて、更に感動でした。その後はシュノーケリングを楽しみました。ウェットスーツを10$で借りることが出来ます。泳げない子も全然挑戦できます。船上でも、始終楽しい雰囲気作りをして下さっていたので1日が大変充実していました。また絶対参加します！

Nessa arrived to pick us up at hotel early. We were the only people on the shuttle. When we arrived at the boat we found out we were the only people on the tour!!! We were shocked they didn't cancel the tour. We had an AMAZING time. The crew was awesome!!! They were very attentive and helpful. We saw tons of turtles and got a ton of great pictures. We cannot say enough good things about this tour! It was a highlight of our trip to Oahu.
Amazing experience, this company did a great job.
Amazing adventure I recommend this company for everyone. Great job.
A large bus came to pick us up at the designated spot at the hotel just after 9 AM, and it seemed that our hotel was the first stop. While stopping at several hotels, we had to wait a long time in front of the last hotel for a group (number of people unknown) that was not visible. We left the last hotel around 10:15 AM and arrived at the boat dock just after 11 AM. It was great to experience snorkeling for the first time, but there was no sandy area as mentioned on the website, and the water depth was only about knee-high. The boat staff were nice people.
朝の９時過ぎに大型バスがホテルの指定場所に迎えに来て、我々のホテルが１番最初のようでした。いくつかのホテルを廻りながら最後のホテル前では１組（人数は不明）だが、姿が見えずに長時間待たされた。最後のホテルを出たのは１０時１５分くらいで、船乗り場に着いたのは１１時過ぎだった。初シュノーケルが体験できて良かったが、ＨＰに出ていたような砂地はなく水の深さはひざ下くらいでした。船のスタッフはいい人でした。

From start to beginning, these guys were amazing. Their personalised service and knowledge of all that surrounded was second to none. We were a group of 7 and were all paid equal attention. The free sailing after playing with the turtles was just mind blowing. Will definitely use these guys when next in Hawaii and recommend to anyone. Brilliant !!!!
I used this for my honeymoon.
I was anxious because I'm not a good swimmer, but they kindly taught me, and I was able to enjoy it easily.
Above all, I had a great time thanks to Dan's fun talks. His Japanese is also very good.
I was able to see sea turtles up close, and there were so many beautiful fish that I was moved! I'm really glad I participated in this tour.
Also, Dan took a lot of pictures and uploaded them to Facebook, so I received many beautiful photos!
I heard that Dan also offers diving tours, so I think I'll try that next time! This is truly a recommended activity!
ハネムーンで利用しました。
私は泳ぎが得意でないので不安でしたが、すごく親切に教えて頂き、簡単に楽しむことが出来ました。
何より、ダンさんの楽しいトークでとても楽しい時間が過ごせました。
日本語もとっても上手です。
ウミガメも間近で見られたし、綺麗なお魚がたくさんいて感動しました！
このツアーに参加して本当に良かったです。
また、ダンさんさんがたくさん写真を撮ってくれてfacebookにアップしてくれるので、綺麗な写真がたくさん貰えます！
ダンさんはダイビングのツアーもやっているそうなので、次はそちらに挑戦してみようと思います！
本当にオススメのアクティビティです！

We went to Sandbar for our honeymoon trip. It was truly beautiful, far beyond comparison to Waikiki Beach! The staff who guided us at Sandbar were all cheerful, and my shy husband seemed to have a great time. We were able to do a lot of turtle watching, and later we even swam with the turtles while snorkeling. I'm not a strong swimmer, but with the life jacket, fins, and snorkel provided, it's no problem for beginners.
If we have the chance to go to Hawaii again, I would definitely like to participate!
新婚旅行でｻﾝﾄﾞﾊﾞｰへ行きました。
本当にワイキキビーチとは比べものにならない位綺麗でした！！
サンドバーの案内をして下さったスタッフの方もみんな明るく、人見知りな旦那も
とても楽しそうでした。
ウミガメもたくさんｳｫｯﾁﾝｸﾞ出来ましたし、その後のシュノーケルでもウミガメと一緒に泳いだりしました。
私はかなづちですが、ライフジャケットと足ヒレ、シュノーケルがあるので
初心者でも問題ないです。
ぜひまたハワイへ行くことがありましたら、参加したいです！！！

Vessel - was clean and in great condition. was nice to sit in the nets in front or on the main passenger holding.
guides/skipper - so lovely, friendly and informative!
snorkelling equipment - neat, clean
snacks and drinks - adequate snacks provided, resonably priced drinks for sale
snorkelling - Awesome for turtle lovers like me. I saw so may honu and a few dark coloured fish!! no colourful fish, so if that's what you're after, this isn't the tour for you.
overall - I came to see turtles and I saw turtles :) it was a grewat bonus to sail around the ocean for a while.
The tour guide, Mr. Dann, who has a Japanese wife, speaks fluent Japanese. Usually, there are about 4 to 8 people on the tour, but on the day we participated, it was just the two of us. After enjoying the beautiful sea on the Big Island, I honestly didn't have high expectations for Honolulu (sorry, Mr. Dann), but we were able to see turtles and were very satisfied. It was a bit scary for amateurs to keep swimming, but we were guided a little further out and could fully enjoy the ocean.
We swam for about an hour on our own, but for those who are not confident in their swimming skills, Dann will pull you along. The visibility on the day we went wasn't great, but I recommend it for anyone wanting to see beautiful waters in Honolulu. The package includes round-trip tickets to the beach, a snorkeling set, snacks, water, a mat, and management of valuables. Above all, you can download the photos taken with a GoPro for free on Facebook, so you don't need to bring a camera.
During the car ride to and from the location, he shared recommendations for delicious restaurants and other spots in Honolulu. Even if you can't swim, it's much prettier than Waikiki Beach, and just relaxing there is worth it! ☆
ツアコンは日本人の奥さんがいるMr.Dann、日本語ペラペラです。
いつもは4〜8人程いるそうですが、参加日は我々2人のみでした。
ハワイ島で綺麗な海を満喫したあとのホノルルでしたので、正直期待していませんでしたが(Mr.Dannごめんなさい)、カメにも会えましたし大満足でした。素人では泳ぎ続けるには怖い、少し沖の方まで案内してもらい海を満喫できました。
私達は自力で1時間程泳ぎましたが、泳ぎに自信のない方は、ダンが引っ張っていってくれるそうです。
行った日は透明度はイマイチでしたが、ホノルルで綺麗な海に行きたい方にはオススメです。
入口-海の往復乗車券、シュノーケルセット、お菓子、水、ゴザ、貴重品管理をしてくれます。なにより、GoProで撮影した写真を、Facebookで無料でダウンロードできるので、カメラも必要ありません。
行き帰りの車の中で、美味しいお店の話やその他ホノルルのオススメスポットを教えてくださいました。
泳げなくても、ワイキキビーチよりとても綺麗でぼーっとするだけでも価値ありです☆

Great.. The turtle cleaning was awesome. The crew on the boat could have been more personalable. But everything was great!
I participated with my parents and daughter. Although it was a short time, I was moved by the sea turtle watching. Unfortunately, the sandbar was not completely out of the water, and at the shallowest point, the water reached my knees, but the floating island in the middle of the deep sea was fantastic and beautiful. The crew members were friendly and energetic, which was very pleasant. I had a very enjoyable time!!! Thank you!
両親と娘と参加させていただきました。
短い時間でしたが、ウミガメウォッチングもできて感動しました。
残念ながら、サンドバーは完全に海から出ている状態ではなく、
一番浅いところで膝まで水につかっていましたが、深い海の真ん中に
できる浮嶋は幻想的で素敵でした。
クルーのみなさんもフレンドリーで元気も良くて好感が持てました。
とても楽しいひと時をすごさせていただきました！！！ありがとう

I participated with my sons who are 5, 7, and 9 years old. They had never snorkeled in deep water before, so they were really scared. I managed to take them out twice with floating vests, but on the third dive, my son said he didn't want to go and stayed on the boat.
However! On that third attempt, I finally got to see dolphins without them escaping! I wish I had forced him to go...
After that, he didn't want to snorkel anymore, but I somehow got him to come out, and we were able to see a lot of turtles and fish.
I think it's essential to get used to snorkeling before going. We went on the fourth day, so I thought he would be okay, but the sea with dolphins is deep, and it was still scary for him. I think if we had brought a float, he wouldn't have been as scared. (We were able to borrow a float stick, but it seems that wasn't enough to ease his fear.)
5,7,9歳の息子と参加しました。
足の着かないところでのスノーケリングをしたことがなかったので、怖がってしょうがありませんでした。
フローティングベストを
なんとかだましだまし２回は連れて行きましたが、最後３回目のダイブは「行かない」と、とうとう船に残ってしまいました。
でもでも！この３回目にやっとイルカに逃げられずに見ることができたのです！
無理やり連れて行けば良かった。。。
この後のシュノーケリングも行きたがりませんでしたが、なんとか連れだして、カメや魚をたくさん見ることができました。
行く前にスノーケリングに慣れておくことは必須だと思います。
うちも４日目に行ったので、もう大丈夫かと思っていましたが、イルカのいる海は深いのでやっぱり恐怖見たいです。
せめて、浮き輪を持って行けばもうちょっと怖がらなかったかな、と思います。
（浮き棒は貸してもらえました。でも、それだけでは怖かったみたいです。）

This is our second time to join the sail. Again, it is great. We swam with turtles and saw lots of fish and big turtles. During the sail, we saw lots of dolphins. The sailing experience was exciting and great. The crews are nice. We will do it again next time when we come back!
I had a dream of swimming with dolphins, and it came true! The guide was a woman who was bright and articulate, providing just the right amount of information. The round-trip transportation and instructions on the boat were clear, allowing me to participate with peace of mind.
After about 20-30 minutes out at sea, we encountered a pod of dolphins. It was said that there were probably around 80 of them, and we hit the biggest pod of the year. During the day, they were swimming while half-asleep, so we couldn't see them jumping, but it was a rare experience to hear their sounds and see baby dolphins.
It gets cold when you come out, so it's better to bring a hoodie or something similar. I participated wearing a rash guard and leggings, but others rented wetsuits for about 1,000 yen. I think it would be cold without one.
After the dolphins, we moved the boat a little and went snorkeling, where we also encountered sea turtles. It was really fun. I hope that the other boats were operated in a way that wouldn't stress the dolphins.
イルカと泳ぐのが夢でしたがそれが叶いました！
ガイドさんは女性の方で、明るくハキハキしていて必要十分な情報を提供してくれます。往復の送迎、船での指示などもわかりやすく、安心して参加できました。
沖に出て20-30分でイルカの群れに遭遇。おそらく80頭くらいはいるだろうということで、今年一番の大きな群れに当たったということでした。
昼間は半分寝ながら泳いでいる、ということでジャンプなどを見ることはできませんが赤ちゃんイルカがいたり、鳴き声が聴こえたり、貴重な体験でした。
上がると寒いので、パーカーなどは持参した方が良いです。自分はラッシュガードとスパッツを着て参加しましたが、他の人はウェットスーツを千円くらいで借りていました。着ないと寒いと思います。
イルカの後は船で少し移動してシュノーケリングをしましたがここではウミガメにも会えました。
本当に楽しかったです。他の船も何隻かいたのでイルカにストレスを与えることのないよう運営されていればいいなと思いました。

Good trip and fun crew, but had hoped for more fish while snorkeling.
Dan was the best. We had first class service the whole trip. Dan went out of his way to make sure the kids, as well as the adults, were comfortable in the water and we all had a great time because of the small group size. It was almost as if we had a personalized one on one tour. Snorkeling was great the day we went, we saw tons of fish! Everything from a parrot fish to schools of colorful little fish... and how could I possibly forget my daughters favorite, this little silver looking stick fish! Awesome experience with awesome people! A must-do while in Hawaii!! This is not something that you want to miss!
We had so much fun! The kids could not have had a better time. We were picked up promptly at our hotel in a clean and accommodating vehicle. We were given information about people, places, and things that we were passing on our way to the Bay to snorkel. Upon arriving at the Bay we were escorted in, past all lines, to watch a short information movie, and then taken down to the Bay via tram, as not to have to walk. Upon arrival to the actual Bay we were given instructions on how to wear, and use all the provided safety equipment. Upon making sure that we were completely comfortable, the the fun of snorkeling ensued... We had a great time.
This was my second time participating, and it was fun! The staff's response was excellent! I could feel that they were trying to make us enjoy ourselves. I went in May, and the sandbar was deep from my knees to my thighs. But it wasn't cold, and the weather was really nice, so I was very satisfied. After that, I took a break from snorkeling and played with a float near the boat. Snorkeling is not forced, so those who are scared can enjoy other marine sports. There were also people canoeing and paddle surfing. I was able to see sea turtles up close, and I experienced the essence of Hawaii all at once. I want to participate again.
2回目の参加でしたが、楽しかったです！
スタッフの方の対応も◎！私たちを楽しませようとしてくれているのを感じました。
私が行ったのは5月でしたが、サンドバーはひざから太ももまでの深さでした。
でも寒くもなく、天気もすごく良かったので大満足です。
そのあとのシュノーケルはお休みして、船の近くで浮き輪でずっと遊んでいました。
シュノーケルも強要されないので、怖い方は違うマリンスポーツを楽しめます。
カヌーやパドルサーフィンをやっている方もいました。
ウミガメも近くで見れて、ハワイの醍醐味をいっぺんに味わうことができました。
また参加したいです。

I participated with my colleagues from work! When I come to Hawaii, I definitely want to go into the ocean! I joined this activity because I wanted to snorkel in the beautiful sea!
The ocean in Hawaii is really beautiful! It's just so blue! We cruised on a boat for a while to our destination. There were unlimited soft drinks, and since it was early in the morning, we also had breakfast. It was the best to feel the nice breeze while gliding over the beautiful sea and sipping juice!
When we arrived at our destination, everyone joined in the search for dolphins! I was so happy to be the first to spot one! There were baby dolphins too, which made the excitement even greater!
After dolphin watching, we all went snorkeling. I never expected to encounter a sea turtle! It felt like we were swimming together!
There were so many fish, and I had no fear of the ocean at all! In the waters of Japan, it feels dark and a bit scary...
After thoroughly enjoying snorkeling, we had lunch! Being able to drink alcohol made it truly the best!
Above all, having a guide in Japanese allowed us to learn about the habits and knowledge of dolphins and sea turtles!
I want to go again!
職場の同僚と参加しました！
ハワイにきたら絶対海に入りたい！キレイな海をシュノーケリングしたいという気持ちからこのアクティビティに参加しました！

魚もたくさんいて、海への恐怖心が全くわかなかったです！日本の海だと暗くてなんだか怖い…
充分シュノーケリングを堪能した後は昼食！お酒も飲めてホントに最高でした！
なにより日本語でのガイドがあったからイルカや海ガメの習性や知識を学習でしました！

Since being healed by wild dolphins four years ago, this was my second time participating. The first spot was filled with a school of dolphins swimming around, and it was over in the blink of an eye, but I was satisfied as dolphins crossed right in front of me and I could hear their voices. At the second spot, there were more than 50 dolphins, some of them were relaxing and there were even baby dolphins, which was incredibly healing and satisfying once again.
Also, while moving on the boat, I saw many dolphins performing spin jumps, as if they were saying, "Come back again!" I’m thinking of going to the Big Island next year.
４年前に野生のイルカに癒されて以来、２度目の入学でした。
１度目のポイントは泳ぎまくるイルカの群れでアッという間でしたが、目の前をイルカが横切るわ、イルカの声は聞けるわで満足。２度目のポイントでは、なんと約50頭以上の群れで、ゆったり寝ている状態で子供のイルカもいたりして、今回も癒されて大満足でした。
また、船で移動中にはイルカのスピンジャンプも多く見られ、また来いよ！と言われているようでした。
来年はハワイ島に行こうかな。

The day we participated was cloudy, so I was worried, but as we went further out, we started to see clear skies.
It's really strange to have a sandy beach even though we're offshore. The corals were large, and we saw a lot of fish. We even got to see a sea turtle, which was very satisfying!
It was beautiful enough, but I think it would have been even more stunning on a clear day. I want to try again when I go to Hawaii!
The guide's explanations were easy to understand and very kind! The sandwich we had on the way back was also delicious.
私たちが参加した日は曇っていたので心配でしたが
沖に進むにつれて晴れ間が見えるようになりました。
沖なのに砂浜が広がっているって本当に不思議な感じです。
サンゴも大きくて魚たちがたくさん見えました＾＾
ウミガメも見ることが出来て大満足！
十分きれいでしたが、快晴だったらもっと綺麗だっただろうなと。
またハワイにいった際にはリベンジしたいです！
ガイドの方の説明も分かりやすく、親切でした！
帰りに食べたサンドイッチも美味しかったです。

The weather was a bit off, but I was still able to see sea turtles and go down to the beautiful ocean. On the contrary, because it rained, I was able to see a lovely rainbow.
My first snorkeling experience was possible even though I can't swim! I could see the fish and coral swimming in the clear ocean.
Breakfast was a very simple sandwich and snacks, but maybe because we were on the boat, it tasted delicious.
It was quite cold riding the bus back to Waikiki for an hour while still wet. It would be better to have a few towels to lay on the seat and cover yourself with. I warmed up with a shower as soon as I got to the hotel.
However, since we returned around noon, we had plenty of time to play in the afternoon.
Overall, I was satisfied.
ちょっとお天気がイマイチでしたが、それでもウミガメにも会え、キレイな海に下りることもできました。逆に雨が降ったせいで綺麗な虹を見ることもできました。
人生初のシュノーケル体験は、泳げなくてもできました！透き通った海の中に泳ぐ魚たちと珊瑚を見ることができます。
朝食はすごく簡易的なサンドイッチとスナックですが、船の上だからか美味しく感じました。
濡れたままバスに乗り1時間かけてワイキキへ戻るので、かなり寒かったです。タオルは座席に敷くものとかけるものでいくつかあった方がいいです。ホテルに着いてすぐシャワーで温まりました。
でも、お昼頃には戻るので午後もたっぷり遊べます。
トータル的には満足でした。

I went to Hawaii for my first overseas trip. I was torn between Guam and Hawaii, but I decided to go to Hawaii since I was looking forward to enjoying my summer vacation. The day before, I did a little snorkeling at Heaven's Beach, but snorkeling at Hanauma Bay was a completely different kind of fun. Seeing the round, intricate shape of Hanauma Bay, I was moved by the clarity of the water and the beauty of the coral before even getting in. Watching the story of Hanauma Bay's creation and the ecosystem video made me realize that it is a place that is carefully protected.
Up close, the water was truly transparent, and it was an emerald green sea that I had never seen in Japan. As soon as I got in, there were lots of corals and many fish. Thanks to the veteran guide, I felt a sense of security and was able to see a sea turtle, which is not something you can easily encounter. Because of the guide, we were able to visit snorkeling spots that were just on the edge, as well as areas with incredible transparency that are far from the beach and hard to reach. I was really satisfied. Snorkeling at Hanauma Bay was an experience I will never forget because of the clarity and beauty of the sea. I had such a great experience that if anyone around me is going to Hawaii, I would definitely recommend snorkeling at Hanauma Bay. Thank you very much.
初めての海外旅行でハワイに行きました。グアムかハワイか迷いましたが、どうせいくなら、ハワイに行こうと決め、夏休みを楽しみにしていました。前日に、天国の海で少しシュノーケルをしましたが、ハナウマ湾でのシュノーケルは全く違う楽しさがありました。丸く入り組んだハナウマ湾を見て 、海の透明感やサンゴの綺麗さに海に入るまえに感動しました。ハナウマ湾誕生の話や生態系のビデオを見て、大切に護られている場所なんだと実感しました。
近くで見ると、ほんとに海が透き通っていて、日本では見ることのできないエメラルドグリーンの海でした。入ってすぐに珊瑚がたくさんあり、お魚も、たくさんいました。ベテランガイドさんならではの、綺麗なスポットや、安心感もあり、なかなか見ることの出来ないウミガメも二回みることができました。ガイドさんがいたからこそ、ギリギリのシュノーケルスポットや、珊瑚のギリギリのところ、浜辺から遠くてなかなか行くことが出来ない、透明感が抜群のところにも行き、ほんとに満足しました。ハナウマ湾でシュノーケルができて、一生あの海の透明感と綺麗さは忘れることはないと思いました。本当にいい経験が出来たので、周りにハワイに行く人がいたら、ハナウマ湾でのシュノーケルを是非勧めたいと思います。ありがとうございました。

This was my first trip to Hawaii, and I chose this tour because it was the most popular!
First, I got on the shuttle bus. The instructions said, "Look for staff in blue T-shirts," but in reality, I was called by someone in a different outfit. During the ride, there was a continuous English guide until we reached the port, and I couldn't understand anything... I wished there had been a Japanese option.
Once we arrived at the port, I was relieved to find staff who spoke Japanese. We first headed to the sandbar, where we snorkeled and played volleyball. It was very beautiful, but I felt the water was murkier than I expected. I didn't see any marine life.
After gathering together, it was time for lunch! We were given buns with cheese and a hamburger patty, and we could add our favorite toppings. As someone who is picky, I really appreciated this. There were also pineapples and nachos. It was very delicious.
After that, we headed to a spot where we could see sea turtles. I was able to spot a few turtles popping their heads up. I heard there were manta rays, but they seemed to be on the opposite side, so I was disappointed that I couldn't see them.
Next, we snorkeled near a large coral reef! There were many fish here. However, the water was murkier than I expected, and it might have been clearer in Okinawa... which was a bit disappointing. The guide explained that the first 15 people who entered had a higher chance of swimming with sea turtles. I had given up hope since I entered later, but then I saw a sea turtle!! I was able to swim with it, and it was an emotional experience! It became a precious memory!
As others have mentioned, it was very cold on the bus and when we got out of the water, so a jacket is necessary! Also, sunscreen is a must!
初ハワイにつき、一番人気との事で選びました！！
まずは迎えのバスに乗ってりました。
説明書きには『青いTシャツのスタッフが目印』と書いてありましたが、実際には違う服装の方から名前を呼ばれました。
車内では港に着くまで英語でガイドがひたすらあり、全くわからず…日本語でもあれば良かったと思いました。
港に着いてからは日本語対応のスタッフさんがいたので安心しました。
まずはサンドバーに向かい、シュノーケルをしたり、バレーボールをしたり。
とてもキレイでしたが、思っていたより水が濁っていた印象。生物はなにも見れませんでした。
集合がかかったので向かうと、ランチ！
バンズにチーズとハンバーグが乗った状態で配られ、自分で好きな具を挟んで食べるスタイル。好き嫌いの多い私にとってはとてもありがたかったです。その他にパイナップルとナチョスがありました。
とても美味しかったです。
その後、ウミガメがいるスポットに向かいました。ピョコっと顔を出すウミガメが度々発見出来ました。マンタがいたと声は聞こえましたが、自分とは反対側だった様で見る事が出来ず残念でした。
次は大きな珊瑚礁の付近でシュノーケル！
ここには魚も沢山いました。ただ、ここでも海は思っていたより濁っていて、沖縄の方がキレイだったかも…少し残念でした。
先に入った15人ぐらいはウミガメと泳げる可能性が高いと説明があり。
最後の方に入った為諦めていましたが、ウミガメが！！一緒に泳ぐ事ができ、感動！
貴重な体験となりました！！
他の方も書いている様に、バスの中と、海から上がった時はとても寒かったので上着は必要です！！また日焼け止めも必須です！
