All Reviews for Snorkeling Cruises & Tours

I participated with my mother and sister. Since it was their first time in Hawaii, I thought my sister would want to go snorkeling and my mother would enjoy the beautiful scenery, so we joined this tour. We were picked up at the Ambassador Hotel and transferred to a large bus at the Sheraton Hotel to set off! The bus was freezing cold, and my sister, who was wearing short sleeves, was feeling chilly. We arrived at the port on time. The waves were calm, and thankfully, there was no seasickness, thanks to the fun staff, and we quickly reached the turtle watching point! We saw sea turtles, but just for a moment! Their heads popped up briefly. We saw a few, but I think it would be difficult to take pictures. My mother, who expected to see the turtles up close, was a bit disappointed. Next, we went to the sandbar! We had 40 minutes there. First, we took photos! It felt very free, as everyone could do their own thing. The staff took pictures, so couples and groups could get photos together. I thought about wearing clothes, but since the water was up to my waist, I went in my swimsuit. Standing in the middle of the ocean was truly magical! Next was snorkeling. We swam along a rope to avoid disturbing the current. I think beginners should wear life jackets. They only explained how to breathe, and there was no actual practice. My sister, feeling confident since it was her second time, struggled to breathe and almost drowned, which made my mother and me burst out laughing! Snorkeling was really enjoyable, and we saw lots of small fish. I had so much fun that I wanted to do it more. On the way back, we filled our stomachs with sandwiches and warm tea, laughed at Yukiko's stories, and arrived at the port. On the bus, I fell into a deep sleep, probably from waking up early and swimming. It was a great tour that ended on time in the morning, allowing us to use our time meaningfully. However, there were really a lot of newlywed couples! If you want to snorkel a lot, a full-day tour might be better. The bus driver on the way back was a native speaker with excellent pronunciation and was somehow very high-energy! We laughed again! On the return bus, we had to raise our hands to indicate where to get off. I think the Sheraton will stop properly, but we almost missed the Ambassador stop because of the excellent pronunciation! Since we got back on the bus wet, I recommend bringing a long-sleeve cover-up and a bath towel. This tour was well-organized, and we had a meaningful time; it was truly enjoyable. It became a wonderful memory.

母と姉と3人で参加しました。母と姉は初のハワイだったのでシュノーケルがしたい姉、母には綺麗な景色を見てもらいたいと思いこちらに参加しました。アンバサダーホテルでピックアップしてもらい、シェラトンホテルで大型バスに乗り換えて出発！バスは冷房ガンガンで半袖の姉は寒がってました(^^;時間通りに港に到着。波も穏やかで心配していた船酔いもなく、楽しいスタッフのおかげであっという間にタートルウォチングポイントへ!!ウミガメは見れたけど…一瞬！顔がピョコっと出る程度。何匹かみれたけど写真に撮るのは難しいと思います(-_-;)ウミガメがガッツリ見れると思っていた母はちょっと残念がってました(^-^;次にサンドバーへ!!滞在時間は40分。まず写真撮影～♪おのおので自由にという感じです。スタッフが撮ってくれるのでカップルやグループでもみんなで写った写真が撮れます。洋服を着ていこうと思いましたが、水が腰ぐらいまであったので水着で行きました。海のど真ん中に立てるっていうのはとにかく神秘的！次にシュノーケル。海流を乱さないためにロープに沿って泳ぎます。初めての方は救命着を着た方がいいと思います。呼吸の仕方などは説明のみで実際に練習はなしです。姉は「二度目だから～♪」と調子に乗って上手く呼吸ができず溺れかけていました。これに母と私は爆笑！シュノーケルは本当に気持ちよくて、小さな魚がいっぱい見れました。楽しかったのでもっとしたかったです。帰りの船でサンドウィッチと暖かい紅茶でお腹を満たし、ユキコさんの話で爆笑し、港に到着。バスでは早起き&泳いだ疲れか爆睡でした。時間通り午前中のうちに終わるツアーで時間を有意義に使えるツアーで本当に良かったです。ただ、ほんっっとに新婚カップルばっかりでした(^_^;)シュノーケルをたくさんしたい方は1日ツアーの方がいいかもしれません。帰りのバスの運転手はまぢのネイティブで発音がめっちゃ良い英語&なぜかハイテンション!これにまた爆笑！帰りのバスは降りる所が挙手制で、シェラトンはちゃんと停まると思いますが、アンバサダーは危うく乗り過ごすところでした。なにせ発音がめっちゃ良いので(笑)帰りは濡れたままバスに乗るので、長袖の羽織りとバスタオルは持参した方がいいと思います。こちらのツアーは段取りもよく有意義な時間を過ごせ、本当に楽しかったです。いい思い出になりました。ワイ

Sandbar is a place I always wanted to visit. I was aware that the height of the water varies depending on the season and time. When I actually went, the water was about knee to waist deep. Even so, it was incredibly beautiful and felt great.

The staff were kind, and I had a lot of fun. The burgers were delicious too.

Playing beach volleyball while being submerged up to my waist was quite tough, but I was able to enjoy playing with other guests I met for the first time.

Also, if you're going during this season (winter), it can get cold when the wind blows over the water, so it's definitely a good idea to bring clothes to wear over your swimsuit and a large beach towel.

サンドバーは、一度は行ってみたかった場所。
時期や時間によって、海面の高さが違うのは承知の上。
実際に行った時は、膝上から腰ぐらいの深さだった。
それでも、実に美しくって、気持ちよかった。

スタッフの皆さんは、親切で、とっても楽しめました。
バーガーも美味しかったなぁ。

腰ぐらいまで浸かってのビーチバレーはさすがにキツかったけど、初対面の他のお客さんとも、楽しく遊べました。

あと、この時期（冬）に行くのなら、海上で風が吹くと寒いので、水着の上から着る服や、大きめのビーチ・タオルは必ず、持って行った方が良いですよ。

Can't wait to go back to do it again. The family loved it.

The staff were all very cheerful, and I had a great time on the boat!

I saw a lot of dolphins, and there was even a sea turtle right next to me (laughs). The taro burger after swimming was also really delicious!!

I'm very satisfied!

とにかくスタッフの方がみんなノリが良くて、船の上がすごく楽しかったです♪

イルカもたくさん見れて、ウミガメなんてすぐ隣にいました（笑）泳ぎ終わった後の、タロイモバーガーもすごく美味しかったです!!


満足です(^O^)

I participated because I wanted to see the sandbar with my own eyes. What I had imagined was being able to walk on the sandbar. However, there was water up to my knees, which was a bit disappointing. (The sandbars you often see are really only visible on limited days, right...?) However, the staff were very enjoyable, and the content was fulfilling, so I was very satisfied.

サンドバーをこの目で見たくて、参加しました。
私が想像してたのは、サンドバーの上を歩けることでした。
でも、ひざ下ぐらいまでの水がありちょっと残念でした。（よく見るサンドバーは、本当に見れる日が限られてるから感・・・？）
しかし、スタッフの方もとても楽しい方々で、内容も充実していてとても満足です。

After seeing the dolphins, while moving to a point where we could see sea turtles, we were stopped in the water due to engine trouble. We returned to port safely on the one boat that was functioning. The hula dance lesson, the staff's planned dance on the boat, and the BBQ lunch (which had been cooked on the boat but was cold) were held at a park instead.

It seemed to be an unexpected trouble, but the staff were smiling, kind, and fun, which made me forget that we hardly got to do any snorkeling or experiences like kayak surfing or paddle surfing.

However, what was disappointing was the company's response. Despite the schedule changes due to the boat trouble, the apology was simply a discount on the DVD (which could be purchased by those who wanted it) from 8,000 yen to 3,000 yen. At that moment, everyone was tired from seasickness and agreed to it, but considering that some might not want to purchase it, I found it strange.

It was truly disappointing, especially since all the staff were great. Among the group, I was the only one participating for the second time, and knowing how much fun I had the first time made me feel sorry for my friends who joined me this time. Even though it was an unexpected trouble, I believe such situations could happen again in the future, and I hope they will consider a proper response.

I appreciate the participants and the staff for their efforts. Thank you very much.

イルカを見たあとに、ウミガメのみれるポイントに移動中、
エンジンのトラブルで、海の上で足止め、
二つのうち一つ無事なほうで、帰港しました。
フラダンスレッスン、船上で予定していたスタッフのダンス、BBQランチ（船で焼かれたものを持ってきてあり、冷えてました）は公園で行われました。
予想外のトラブルだったようですが、スタッフの方たちは、笑顔で優しく楽しく、結局シュノーケリングがほとんどできなかったこと、カヤックサーフィンやパドルサーフィンなどの体験もできなかったことを忘れさせてくれる気がしました。

ただ、残念なのが、会社の対応です。船のトラブルで、スケジュールに変更があったにもかかわらず、お詫びが『（希望者のみ購入する）DVD8000円を3000円に割引します』といったものでした。その場では、皆船酔いなどの疲れもあり、了承しましたが、購入しない場合もあることを考えるとおかしいと思います。

スタッフの方たちが、全員よい方だっただけに本当に残念です。グループで参加の中、私だけ二回目参加で、一回目とても楽しかったことを知っていただけに一緒に参加した友人にも申し訳ない気持ちになりました。
予想外のトラブルとはいっても、今後もあり得ることだと思いますし、キチンとした対応を考えていただきたいと思います。

参加者のかたたち、スタッフのみなさんの対応には感謝いたします。ありがとうございました。

This is my second time at Sandbar, and I felt comfortable participating thanks to the fun staff.

My child was 2 years old last time and is now 5, but even at 2, they were able to enjoy swimming in the shallow water.

The staff were also kind to the children, and it seemed like they were having a great time.

I hope to join with my friends' family next time!

Thank you very much!!

サンドバーは2回目ですが、楽しいスタッフさんで安心して参加でしました。

子供が前回は2歳で今回は5歳ですが、2歳のときから遠浅で楽しく泳ぐことができました。

スタッフさんも、子供に優しくしていただいて、楽しそうでした。

次回はお友達ファミリーと一緒に参加できたらいいなぁとおもいます♪

ありがとうございました！！

It was cold, perhaps because of the season in November or the cloudy weather. I didn't expect it since we were walking on sand, but there were broken corals scattered around, which hurt my feet. I think it would be better to have water sandals. The sea had poor visibility, and there were no fish, which was disappointing! However, it was nice that the honu came close to us. I was surprised by how luxurious the light meal was, despite it being labeled as a snack.

11月という季節のせいか、曇りのせいかとにかく寒かったです。
砂の上を歩くというので、考えていませんでしたが、
割れたサンゴがゴロゴロしてて、足が痛く水中用のサンダルがあったほうが良いと思います。
海は透明度が悪く、魚もいなくてガッカリ！
ただ、ホヌが近くまで来てくれてよかったです。
軽食付きとありましたが、とても豪華でびっくりしました。

I was nervous at first because it was a rubber boat but it was a wonderful experience and if you go purchase the CD that is taken with your group.. It came this week. Wonderful.

I participated in the Heaven's Sea tour! I actually wanted to join in the morning, but the afternoon tour was perfectly fine, and I thoroughly enjoyed Heaven's Sea! A sea turtle came really close to me, and it was my first time experiencing something like that; it was so much fun! The afternoon tour included lunch, and the lunch menu was incredibly delicious. I was worried about getting seasick, but I didn't feel it at all and had a great time! I would love to join this tour again if I have the chance!

天国の海ツアー参加してきました！
本当は朝から参加にしたかったんですが、昼からツアーでもまったく問題なく天国の海を満喫できました！
ウミガメが本当に近くによってきてくれて、あんな体験初めてで本当にたのしかったです！昼ツアーはランチつきだったんですが、ランチメニューもものすごくおいしかったです。船酔いも心配してましたが、全然なく思いっきり楽しめました！
機会があればまた参加したいツアーです！

It was a participation of two women. Our goal was to float in the sea and relax all day while getting a tan, so this plan with transportation and lunch was just perfect. The pizza for lunch was also delicious. The sea was incredibly beautiful.

女子2人での参加でした。
海に浮かんでゆっくりのんびりして一日中、日焼けするのが目的でしたので送迎＆ランチ付きのこのプランはちょうど良かったです。
ランチのピザも美味しかったです。
海は最高に綺麗でした。

Capt Mike and his deckhand Travis were awesome. We saw plenty of sea turtles and a baby dolphin even did a flip for us! The sailing after the snorkeling was so relaxing as we cruised by diamond head. It's like an adventure that comes from a movie. The catamaran was big and comfortable. I miss Hawaii just reminiscing on this adventure. This is a must go cruise and snorkel trip.

You can experience the strange situation of walking in the sea surrounded by water. The sea, reflecting the sunlight, looked even more beautiful. You can also meet sea turtles!!

まわりが海のなかを歩くという不思議な状況が体験できます。海が太陽の光を受けてきれいな海がさらにきれいに見えました。ウミガメにも会えます！！

It was great to see the sea turtles up close.

ウミガメがとても近くで見れてとてもよかったです。

The timing is very important as it greatly relates to the tides. I wanted to walk on a sandbar like in the photo, but when I went, the shallowest part was only about ankle-deep.

When I went snorkeling, a turtle suddenly appeared right at our feet, and my excitement shot up!

After snorkeling, the boat took us around to where the turtles were. I was really happy when I saw multiple turtle heads popping up from the waves. While we were doing that, the sun came out, and we enjoyed a very pleasant cruise.

I would like to participate again at the right time.

潮の満ち引きが大いに関係するので、タイミングがとっても重要です。写真のようなサンドバーを歩いてみたかったけど、私がいったときは一番浅いところでくるぶしくらいの深さでした。

シュノ-ケリングをしたとき、いつの間にかカメが私たちの足元にいるという感じで出現。テンションが一気に上がりました！

シュノ-ケリングのあと船でカメがいるところを回ってくれました。カメの頭が波間から複数みえたときはとてもうれしかったです。そうこうしているうちに、晴れ間がでてきてとても気持ちの良いクルーズを楽しめました。　

また時期を見計らって参加したいです。

It is often featured in guidebooks, and I had always wanted to visit it when I went to Hawaii. There were some waves, but I was able to see the clear ocean. There were also several sea turtles popping their heads out of the water, which was adorable. Walking in the ocean felt really nice. There was nothing but the sea around, and the scenery was wonderful. The food was delicious, and I felt safe snorkeling for the first time with the guides watching over us. I'm really glad I participated. It was so much fun!

ガイドブックによく掲載されていて、ハワイに行ったら絶対行きたいと思っていました。
少し波がありましたが、透き通った海を見ることができました。ウミガメも何匹も海から顔を出していたのでかわいかったです。
海の中を歩く感じですごく気持ちよかったです。周りには海しかなく、景色もすばらしかったです☆
料理もおいしかったし、初めてのシュノーケリングはガイドさんたちにしっかり見守られながらだったので安心してできました。
参加して本当によかったです。すごく楽しかったです♪

This was my eighth trip to Hawaii, but it was my first experience at the sandbar. The knee-deep water in the middle of the ocean was very mysterious, and the contrast between the sand and the sea was beautiful. When we went, it was not the season for the sand to be exposed, but I would like to visit again during low tide. I thought the staff was friendly and their service was good, but I wish they would refrain from smoking at the sandbar. Even though there are no legal restrictions, I wonder why anyone would smoke in such a beautiful natural place. There were even comments encouraging smoking among participants, and I saw people walking around the sandbar with cigarettes in their mouths. It was uncomfortable on the water.

ハワイは８回目でしたがサンドバーは初体験でした。
海の真ん中で膝下の水位はとても不思議で砂と海のコントラストがとてもきれいでした。
私たちが行ったときは砂浜は出ない時期でしたが今度は干潮の時に行ってみたいです。
スタッフの方はフレンドリーで対応等は良かったと思いますが
サンドバーでわざわざタバコを吸うのはやめてほしいです。
法律での規制がないとはいえ、なぜあのような自然の綺麗な場所で喫煙するのか？です・・・参加者にも喫煙をあおる発言をしていて実際咥え煙草でサンドバーを歩いてる人もいました。
海の上で不快でした。

I've been on a few excursions. . .all have been fun, but this was my favorite. I highly recommend it! The staff was great fun and very knowledgeable. We saw so many dolphins, a sea turtle, and a sting ray. We were able to snorkel along side and enjoy! It was a bonus they had a photographer on board that took underwater pictures so we have our memories in pictures of all we enjoyed that day. You won't be disappointed!!

I was skeptical about whether I could really see wild dolphins, but I was moved to see them for sure! I was asked about wearing a wetsuit, but since none of the other participants raised their hands, our group also participated without suits. However, the seawater was colder than I expected, and it was very chilly with the wind when we got back on the boat. I recommend participating with a wetsuit.

　本当に野生のイルカなんて見れるの？と、半信半疑で参加しましたが、ちゃんと見れて感動しました!!
　ウェットスーツの着用を聞かれましたが、他の参加者が誰ひとり手を挙げなかったので、我グループもスーツ無しで参加しました。が、海水も思った以上に冷たく、船に上がったときの風でとても寒かったです。ウェットスーツを着用して参加することをお勧めします。

My husband, 7 month old son, and I had a great experience with this activity during snorkeling and snuba. We got lucky, and one of the guest/crew members watched our son (who mostly slept) so we had the opportunity to both go together for the snorkeling and snuba. The catamaran we took was a great ship. The crew was very accommodating, nice, funny, and took care of everyone, including a woman who lost her camera in the water, and when my hubby got a little overwhelmed in the beginning during snuba. The food was okay, but definitely helped after a good amount of time time in the water. I would defintely do it again. The great crew actually made a huge difference too!

Due to my schedule, I couldn't participate for long and joined the morning session. I only caught a glimpse of the sea turtles from the boat, but I was impressed by the beauty of the sandbar! When getting off the boat, the water was up to my stomach, and in the shallow areas, it was up to my knees. I'm so glad I bought a waterproof camera!

The weather was a bit gloomy during the cruise, with some light rain, but we were able to see a rainbow, and by the time we arrived, it was sunny! It must be even more sparkling and beautiful on a clear day.

Since I was at the back during snorkeling, the visibility was poor, but I really wanted to go to the sandbar, so I was happy about that. The early finish allowed me to spend the afternoon meaningfully. The warm tea and sandwiches served on the way back were delicious!

I hope I can take my time a bit more next time.

スケジュールの関係であまりゆっくりのには参加できず、午前の部に参加しました。
海亀は船上からちらっと見る程度でしたがサンドバーの綺麗さに感動☆ボートから下りるときはおなかくらい、浅いところでもひざ上まで浸かりました。張り切って防水のカメラを買ってよかった～♪
天気も、クルーズ中はどんよりとしてパラパラ振ったりしましたが虹も見れたし到着するころには晴れたし☆快晴だともっときらきらして綺麗なんでしょうね。
シュノーケルは後ろの方だったので濁ってあまり見れませんでしたが、サンドバーは絶対行きたいとこだったのでよかったです。早めに終わるので午後からも有意義に過ごせました。
帰りに出された温かいお茶とサンドイッチもおいしかったです☆
次はもう少しゆっくりできるといいなぁ。

Thank you for allowing me to participate in the tour. I was satisfied to meet the dolphins and also saw sea turtles. It wasn't as cold as I thought it would be, and it became a great memory. Thank you!

この度はツアーに参加させていただきありがとうございました。イルカにも会えて満足です。ウミガメにも会えました。思ったよりも寒くなかったですし良い思い出になりました。ありがとうございました！

I participated with the expectation of meeting dolphins and possibly swimming with them. However, it seems to be a rare case, but I didn't see any dolphins at all, and there weren't many turtles or fish either, which was disappointing. The staff were all very friendly, and the atmosphere was good, but I was really let down that I couldn't see the dolphins, which I was looking forward to the most. It's understandable since it's nature, but...

イルカに会える、しかも一緒に泳げるかもしれない、と、期待して参加しました。ところが、まれなケースみたいですが、全くイルカには会えず、亀や、魚も目立つようには居なかったり、残念でした。
スタッフは、楽しい方ばかりで、雰囲気は良かったんですが、一番楽しみにしていた、イルカを見ることも出来なかったのは、本当にがっかりでした。自然相手ですから、当たり前なんですが・・・

I had to cancel dolphin watching twice in Kyushu due to typhoons, even though the probability of seeing them was over 90%. This time, I learned that in Hawaii, not only can you see them, but you can also swim with them, so I confidently signed up!

On the day of the event, we had an early morning meeting at 6 AM, but my excitement kept me awake and ready to go☆

As soon as we arrived, I put on a wetsuit ($10), hopped on the boat, and off we went! I was a bit anxious about the early start, but as soon as we reached the bay, we spotted dolphins right away! Over the course of a few hours, we encountered several dolphins, including baby dolphins♪ Other teams were there too, but the dolphins kept coming back to our group, making it hard for us to get back on the boat (laughs).

We changed locations and were able to see two sea turtles swimming. My husband said he found the sight of the turtles gliding through the water to be mystical.

Thank you for the wonderful time☆

逢える確率９０％以上の九州でイルカウォチングを２回も台風で断念。今回は常夏ハワイで見るだけでなく一緒に泳げることが出きると知り、大丈夫だと申込しました！

当日は朝も早く６時集合でしたが、ワクワクする気持ちが大きくてしっかり起きれました☆

到着するやいなやウエットスーツ（＄１０）を着て、ボートへ乗り込み、いざ出発！なんて早いスタートなんだと焦りましたが、湾にでるとすぐイルカ発見！！数時間の間に何頭もイルカや子供イルカにも逢うことが出来ました♪他のチームも来られていましたが、イルカは私たちのチームへ何回も寄ってきてくれボートに上がるに上がれない状態でした（笑）

場所を変えてウミガメは２匹も泳いている姿を見ることができました。旦那はウミガメの悠々を泳ぐ姿が神秘的に感じたと言っていました。

楽しい時間をありがとうございました☆

We went on a morning tour as a couple. We took three large buses to the port. I think almost everyone was Japanese.

Upon arriving at the port, we split into three groups and took a boat to our destination. I believe we were on the boat for about 20 to 30 minutes. Along the way, we had a brief sea turtle watching experience, but we could only catch a glimpse.

Once we arrived at the sandbar, we started with photo sessions. In deeper areas, the water was about waist-deep, while in shallower areas, it was around knee-deep. We asked a Japanese female guide named Yukiko to take various photos for us. It seemed like other participants were taking photos among themselves. However, if you ask the guide, she will give you pose instructions and take several shots, so I think it's better to ask her! Just be aware that there might be a wait, so it's best to stay close to the guide once you get into the water! (laughs)

After that, we went snorkeling. Life jackets were available for those who wanted them, but I didn't wear one. We went surprisingly deep, and it felt like it was about 5 to 10 meters deep. We followed the guide while making a rough line, stopping occasionally. We swam in areas where our feet couldn't touch the bottom. They also provided long floatation devices, but if you can't swim well, it's better to wear a life jacket! My husband regretted not wearing one since he isn't a strong swimmer. The floatation device is meant for two people, but in reality, it sinks when two people use it (laughs).

Swimming near the guide at the front allows for a surprisingly long snorkeling experience, which can be tiring, but we got to see coral up close and even spotted some fish, making it a very valuable experience. If you're at the back of the line, it might be murky due to the people ahead swimming, so I recommend being towards the front. My husband and I led the way and thoroughly enjoyed it♪

Afterward, warm tea and sandwiches were distributed, which was very helpful since we were a bit hungry♪

午前のツアーに夫婦で行ってきました。
大型バス3台で港へ。
ほぼ全員日本人だったように思います。

港に着いて3つグループに別れて船で目的の場所まで行きました。
時間は20～30分くらい乗っていたように思います。
途中に海ガメウォッチングだったのですが、ほんとーにチラッと見える程度でした。

サンドバーに着いて、まずは写真撮影。
深いところでは腰くらい、浅いところは膝くらいでした。
ガイドさんで日本人女性のユキコさんにお願いして、色々撮って頂きました。
他の方は、参加者同士で撮り合っていたようです。
ですが、ガイドさんに頼むとポーズの指示をしてくれ、
数枚撮ってくれ、とても上手なので頼んだ方がいいと思います！
ただ順番待ちが発生するので、なるべく海入ったらガイドさんの近くにいた方がいいですよ！！（笑）

そのあとはシュノーケリング。
救命胴衣は希望の方だけ着る流れで、私は着なかったです。
案外深いところまで行くのですが、たぶん5m～10mくらいあったように感じます。
途中止まったりしながら、ざっくりとした列を作りながらガイドさんについていく感じです。
終始足が着かないところを泳ぎます。
水に浮く細長いやつも貸してくれるのですが、泳げない方は救命胴衣を着た方がいいです！
夫がそんなに泳げないのに着なくて後悔してました。
細長いやつは2人で1つ、実際は2人で使うと沈みます（笑）

ガイドさん近く、先頭で泳ぐと案外長くシュノーケリングするので疲れますが、
サンゴを近くで見れ、魚も少し見れて、とても貴重な体験が出来ました。
列の後方にいると先に行った人が泳いだせいか濁って見にくいので、先頭を行くくらいがお勧めです。
私たち夫婦は先頭切って泳いで、堪能しました♪

終わった後は温かいお茶とサンドイッチが配られ、小腹が空いていたのでとても助かりました♪

I participated with four friends. The presence of lockers was a great help. The beach had strong winds, and the rental mat was almost blown away, so it was very convenient to be able to store valuables and anything else not absolutely necessary in the lockers.

For lunch, after some deliberation, I chose the chicken BBQ plate. It was teriyaki chicken style, came with macaroni salad, and the portion was just right and very delicious.

The beach is truly amazing!! While enjoying bodyboarding in the sea, a sea turtle appeared right in front of me!! It was just for a moment, but I was really happy to encounter a sea turtle and had a wonderful time. I want to come back again.

友達4人で参加させてもらいました。
ロッカーがありかなり助かりました。ビーチは風が強くレンタルしたゴザも飛んでいく勢いでした、なので貴重品を含め最低限必要な物以外はロッカーへ入れておけるので大変便利でした。

昼食は迷ったあげくチキンBBQプレートにしました。
てりやきチキン風で、マカロニサラダ付きで量も丁度良くとても
美味しかったです。

ビーチは本当に最高です！！そして、海でボディーボードを
楽しんでると目の前に海ガメが！！一瞬ですが海ガメとも遭遇出来て本当に幸せな時間を過ごせました。また来たいです。

I think it's great that you can visit the west coast of Hawaii, which you wouldn't go to otherwise, on this tour. The staff is full of energy and keeps you entertained. You can eat malasadas, swim with dolphins, see sea turtles, enjoy a simple cheeseburger, go paddle boarding, and even dance a little hula—it's a packed tour.

Swimming while snorkeling and having wild dolphins swim right in front of you is moving and very healing, but it was unfortunate that when I participated, the wind was strong and the sea was a bit murky, and it took time to find the dolphins, so I couldn't go paddle boarding. It's a busy tour because of all the activities, but I recommend it for those who want a fulfilling experience.

このツアーでなかったら行かないハワイの西海岸にいけるのが良いと思います。スタッフも元気いっぱいでたのしませてくれるし、マラサダを食べて、イルカと泳いで、ウミガメも見られて、シンプルですがチーズバーガーも食べられてパドルボートもできてフラダンスもちょっとだけ踊れる盛りだくさんのツアーです。
シュノーケルで泳いでいると野生のイルカが目の前を通り過ぎて行くのは感動でとても癒されますが、参加した時は風が強くて海が少し濁っていたのが残念だったのと、いるかを見つけるのに時間がかかったので、パドルボートが出来なかったのが残念でした。盛りだくさんな分忙しめのツアーですが充実したい方にはオススメです。

This was my third time participating. Unfortunately, I couldn't meet the dolphins for the first time... But I had a great time with the crew and other guests. I participate about once every six months, but I was most disappointed that my favorite crew member, a boy, had left.

今回３回目の参加でした☆
残念ながら初めてイルカと会えず。。。
でもクルーの方たちやほかのお客さんと楽しい時間を過ごせました♪
半年に１回のペースで参加していますがお気に入りのクルーの男の子がやめてしまっていたのが一番残念だったなぁ。。。

At knee-deep water level, even children could walk easily. However, I thought the beach was a continuous stretch of pure white sand, so I walked barefoot, but there were rocks and stones in some places, making it painful and difficult to walk. Most participants walked barefoot, but I think it's better to wear marine shoes or something similar.

It got cold, and my daughter started to fuss. When we took photos one group at a time, it was tough because she would fuss if we didn't take the picture. But it was beautiful and wonderful.

Sea turtles were swimming gracefully as well. I definitely want to go again!

膝下の海面水位で、子供も難なく歩けました。ただ、真っ白な砂浜が続いていると思い、裸足で歩きましたが、所々に岩や石氏があるので、痛くて歩くのが大変なところもありました。
参加者のほとんどが裸足で歩いていましたが、マリンシューズなど履いたほうが良いと思います。
寒いと途中から、娘が愚図り始め、１組づつ写真を撮った際、撮らないと愚図って大変でした。でも、綺麗で素でした。
海亀さんも優雅に泳いでいました。また、ぜひ行きたいです！

I decided on this tour after reading various experiences. We gathered early in the morning and traveled to the site by bus. The boat was beautiful, and there were drinks and light snacks like cupcakes and yogurt available for us to enjoy at any time. For lunch, there was a light buffet with hamburgers, rice, meat, and potatoes, but I couldn't eat much due to fatigue, seasickness, and drowsiness. I had lunch again separately after returning.

Most of the participants were foreigners, with only a few Japanese. The tour guide was American, but there was one person who spoke fluent Japanese, providing explanations in Japanese after the English ones.

The weather was nice that day, but we had a hard time spotting dolphins and turtles. We stopped for about an hour to enjoy snorkeling. The water was crystal clear and beautiful. It was fun to throw food and have many fish come right up to me. I was considering diving the next day, but snorkeling was enjoyable enough.

After that, we returned to the boat and finally encountered dolphins. About ten dolphins swam near the boat, seemingly playing with us, and they were really cute.

It was early November, and the sea wasn't too cold, but it did get chilly after being in the water for a long time. You can rent a wetsuit for about ten dollars at the port's reception, not through the tour company. They sell snacks, drinks, and port T-shirts and goods, resembling a souvenir corner, but I didn't see anyone buying anything in particular.

As for wallets, you can leave your belongings or towels on the tables or chairs inside the boat, so it's better not to carry cards or large amounts of cash just in case. It was mentioned that you should bring your passport if you plan to drink alcohol, but I wasn't asked to show it. So, it would be good to have about twenty dollars in a pouch just in case, but I ended up not using any cash at all.

Also, after swimming, it gets cold, so a bath towel and a hoodie or T-shirt to wear on top are essential.

Even if you don't usually get seasick, it's a good idea to bring motion sickness medication. The boat isn't that small or shaky, but since we left early in the morning and I hadn't eaten much for breakfast, I did feel a bit nauseous.

After about an hour of snorkeling and sunbathing for a long time, the early morning conditions were surprisingly tiring, and most people were fast asleep on the bus ride back in the afternoon.

体験談を色々読んでこちらに決めました。朝早く集合してバスで現地まで移動。船は綺麗で、室内にはいつでも自由に飲食できる飲み物、カップケーキやヨーグルトなど軽食がありました。昼食も軽いビュッフェ形式のハンバーガー、ご飯、お肉、ポテト、など出ましたが、疲れや酔いと眠気が手伝ってあまり食べれず。帰って別でまた昼食をとりました。

ほとんどの参加者が外国人で、日本人は少しだけ。ツアー催行者の方もアメリカ人ですが、一人日本語がペラペラな方がいて、日本人にも英語の説明の後に日本語で説明してくれます。

この日は天気は良かったのですがなかなかイルカもカメも見つからず、とりあえず停舶して1時間ほどスノーケリングを楽しみました。海の中は透き通ってすごく綺麗。エサを放り投げてたくさんの魚が目の前まで来て楽しかったです。ダイビングを次の日に考えてましたが、スノーケリングで十分楽しめます。

その後、船に戻ってようやくイルカに出会えました。本当にわざとやってるのかと思うほど１０頭ほどのイルカが船の近くで一緒に「遊ぼう！遊ぼう！」と泳いで、とてもかわいかったです。

１１月始めですが、さほど海は冷たくなかったですが、長いこと入っていると寒くなってきます。ウェットスーツは１０ドルかな？でツアー会社ではなく港の受付で借りれます。ここではお菓子、飲み物や港のTシャツやらグッズ等が売っていて、お土産コーナーのようですが、特に何か買ってる人はいなかったです、、。

お財布などは船内のテーブルや椅子の上に荷物やタオルを置いておくかんじなので、カードや大金は念のため持ち歩かないようにしたほうがいいです。お酒を飲む場合のパスポート持参と書かれていましたが特に提示を聞かれませんでした。なので、ポーチに万が一のために２０ドルくらい入れていけばいい感じですが、結局一銭も現金は使っていません。

あとは、泳いだ後が寒いのでバスタオルと上に着るパーカーもしくはTシャツは必須です。

あまり乗り物に酔わない人でも酔い止めは持参したほうがいいです。そこまで小型で揺れる船ではないですが、朝早いので朝食をあまりとってなかったりすると酔います。

1時間ほどのスノーケリング、日差しの下で長い間日焼け、朝早いというコンディションは意外に疲れ、昼の帰りのバスはほとんどの人が爆睡してました。午後からアク
