Oahu
I've been on other snorkeling cruises but was REALLY IMPRESSED with the boat and the crew. The boat was very clean, open and comfortable. Having great his and her bathrooms was a nice plus as well. The crew were fun, informative and professional. They make you feel very comfortable and taken care of. Swimming with the turtles was a total treat. There's a crew member in the water with you the entire time and they are not only looking out for your safety but are answering questions about the fish, turtles and the total area. In addition, they are educating you so you really "swim" away knowing more than when you came. The sailing portion was really relaxing and peaceful. It's great to see Waikiki & Diamond Head Crater from the water and being able to leave on this trip from the Hilton is a real plus. Even the food and snacks were good. I would definitely recommend this trip.
Our friend recommended that we do this cruise and boy was I not disappointed. I have been on several other snorkeling trips before but never have i been so close to turtles! The staff was really amazing and it even comes with 3 free alcoholic drinks! The lunch was very ono as well. Over all a really fun day!
This was a place I absolutely wanted to visit on my first trip to Hawaii. Unfortunately, the weather wasn't very good on the day, and it wasn't the picturesque scenery you see in guidebooks, but I was able to see the sandbar. There was a Japanese guide, but since the main language was English, there were parts I didn't understand.
However, I was satisfied because I got to see sea turtles and go snorkeling!
初ハワイで、ここには絶対行きたいと思っていた場所でした。
あいにく当日は天気があまり良くなく、ガイドブックでみるような景色ではなかったですが、サンドバーを見ることはできました☆
日本人ガイドさんはいたのですが、英語メインだったので何をいっているのかわからないとこもありました・・
でもウミガメもシュノーケルもできたので満足です♪
"It was written that you have a high chance of encountering sea turtles, but what I wanted to do was 'snorkel with the turtles,' so I participated with half expectation and half anxiety, thinking, 'Maybe I'll just be looking at them from the boat.' But I did it! 'Snorkeling with the turtles!' I think I was lucky. Of course, since they are wild, you can't do it every time, but if I go to Hawaii again, I would like to join this tour."
「海ガメには高い確率で出会えます」と書いてあったけど、
私のやりたいことは、「カメと一緒にシュノーケリング」だったので、「船の上から眺めるだけかなあ」と期待半分不安半分で参加しました。
で、やれました!「カメとのシュノーケリング!」
運が良かったと思います。
もちろん、野生だから、毎回必ず出来るわけじゃないけど、
またハワイに行ったらこのツアーに参加したいと思います。
This is a place I wanted to visit at least once when I went to Hawaii. I was able to take photos, and it was a lot of fun. I signed up for the barbecue course, which I also recommend. The snorkeling was a bit lacking... maybe the visibility wasn't great? Next time, I think I'll try scuba diving.
ハワイにいったら一度は行ってみたかったところです。
写真も撮ってもらえたし、とても楽しかったです。
バーベキューコースを申込しましたが、これもおすすめです。
シュノーケリングはちょっと物足りませんでした。。透明度がいまいちだったのかも???次回はスキューバーダイビングをしようと思います。
It was quite a while ago, but I participated in October. I heard that there had been high waves for about a week prior, which made the sea murky and reduced visibility.
While on the boat, we could see the dorsal fins of the dolphins swimming, and each time we spotted them, we were told to "go! go! go! go!" and everyone hurriedly jumped in, but we could hardly see them swimming.
After jumping in three times, most people caught a glimpse for just a moment (about three seconds) on the third try, but another couple and I couldn’t see them at all. We moved again, and only those who hadn’t seen them got to try again. Finally, I managed to see them for about five seconds.
I should have been happy, but maybe because I had seen too many participant experiences and photos, I felt a bit disappointed, thinking, "I thought I would see more..."
After that, we moved to the bay. It was also murky there, with visibility of just a few meters. Of course, I couldn’t see any turtles or tropical fish at all. We alternated between kayaking and paddle surfing, but my spirits were low, so I ended up eating snacks on the boat.
In the distance, I could see a group of dolphins meeting with a school of dolphins. Having come to Hawaii to see dolphins, I was envious of those on the school’s boat who were chasing dolphins until the end, rather than staying in the murky bay for paddle surfing. I didn’t expect to see so few dolphins.
The staff were great. They really tried to make it exciting. If we could have seen the dolphins clearly instead of just for a moment, it might have been a lot more fun.
随分前になりますが、私が参加したのは10月でした。
現地ではちょうど一週間前くらいから高波が続いていたということで、海が濁り、透明度が低く。
船の上にいると泳いでいるイルカの背びれが見え、その度に船で移動し、「go!go!go!go!」と言われて皆慌てて飛び込むのですが、なかなか泳いでいる姿は見えず。
3回飛び込んで、3回目にして大半の人は一瞬(3秒くらい)見えたのですが、私ともう1組のカップルは見れず。
再移動して、見れなかった人だけ再チャレンジ。
ようやく私も5秒程度でしたが見えました。
本当は嬉しいはずなのに、参加者の体験談とか写真とか見過ぎていたのか、「もっと見られるかと思ったのに」という気持ちで、イマイチでした。。。
その後、湾のほうへ移動。
こちらも濁っていて、視界は数m程度。もちろん亀も熱帯魚も全く見られず。
カヤックとパドルサーフィンを交代で…という感じでしたが、気持ちも下がっていたので船上でお菓子を食べていました。。
離れたところでは、イルカ中学がイルカと会っている姿が。
イルカに会う為にハワイに来た私は、パドルサーフィンなどの為に濁った湾に留まっているよりも、中学の船で最後までイルカを追いかけているのが羨ましかったです。
こんなにイルカが見れないとは思っていませんでした。
スタッフの方はいい方達です。すごく盛り上げようとしてくれます。
イルカが一瞬だけでなくしっかり見られれば、きっと楽しかったのかもしれません。
Thank you for participating in Dolphin University. Although the visibility can change due to ocean conditions, we are very sorry that you were unable to fully enjoy the anticipated encounter with the dolphins, as well as the snorkeling time with the turtles and tropical fish. We would be grateful if you could give it another try on your next opportunity.
このたびは、イルカ大学にご参加いただき有難うございます。海の状況により透明度は変化するとはいえ、楽しみにされていたイルカとの出会い、そして亀や熱帯魚とのシュノーケリングタイムを心より楽しんでいただくことができませんでしたこと、非常に残念に思っております。またの機会がございましたら、再度チャレンジしていただけましたら幸いです。
Snorkeling requires a life jacket, and you cannot dive underwater. Therefore, you will be watching dolphins from the surface. However, I was very satisfied as I encountered a large number of dolphins for quite a while. I highly recommend it.
シュノ-ケリングはライフジャケット必着で、海中に潜れません。従って海面からのイルカウォッチングとなります。
しかし、多数のイルカの群れに、かなりの時間遭遇でき大満足でした。
ぜひともお勧めします。
Swimming with wild dolphins in the ocean has been a dream of mine for many years. I thought it would be difficult, so I participated with the expectation of being lucky to catch even a glimpse. However! Not only did I see them, but from the boat, I witnessed dolphins jumping, and once in the water, there were pods of dolphins coming one after another! I could even hear their cute sounds, and it was truly moving.
Additionally, all the staff were cheerful, and I believe it would have been a fun tour even if we hadn't seen any dolphins. After getting off the boat, we had a hula lesson in a cool shade, which also became a heartwarming and enjoyable memory. I definitely want to participate again the next time I go to Hawaii.
野生のイルカと海で一緒に泳ぐのが長年の夢でした。
でも難しいだろうから、『ちらっとでも見れたらラッキーだな』ぐらいの期待で参加したのです。
ところが!ちらっとどころか、ボート上からはイルカたちのジャンプが、海に入ればイルカの群れが次から次へと!!かわいい鳴き声も聞こえ、もう感動でした。
また、スタッフも皆陽気で、もしイルカが見れなかったとしても楽しいツアーになったと思います。
ボートを降りた後は涼しい木陰でフラレッスン、こちらも心癒される楽しい思い出となりました。
今度ハワイに行ったときにも是非参加したいです。
This tour is all about having a good vibe. The key to enjoying it is to let loose and have fun without feeling shy.
As for the dolphins, at first, I thought I might not see any, but later on, I encountered many dolphins, which made me quite satisfied.
You can also enjoy malasadas, marine sports, and hula dancing, making the most of your time in Hawaii.
It involves quite a bit of physical activity, so on the way back, I was so tired that I fell asleep in the car until we reached the hotel.
このツアーはとにかくノリが大切。恥ずかしがらずにノリまくるのが楽しむコツです。
肝心のイルカですが、最初のうちは全然見れずに、こんなもんかなーと思っていたのですが、その後たくさんのイルカに遭遇できたので、かなり満足しました。
他にもマラサダ、マリンスポーツ、フラダンスと、ハワイを満喫できます。
結構な運動量なので、帰りの車の中では疲れてホテルまでぐっすり眠ってしまいました。
Is it only for Japanese people? All the participants were Japanese.
The staff was about half Japanese and half foreign. Everyone on the staff was very kind and energetic, which made it a lot of fun.
As for the weather on the day, it would definitely be more beautiful when it's sunny!
Is the sandbar's visibility above the water level just a matter of luck?
Unfortunately, when I went, it was not visible above the water and was submerged up to my knees.
日本人専用なのかな?参加者はすべて日本人でした。
スタッフも日本人と外国人半々くらいでした。スタッフの皆さんはとても親切で元気な人たちばかりで楽しかったですよ。
あとは当日の天候のみ、やっぱり晴れているときはキレイさが増すでしょう!!
サンドバーもどれくらい水面から出ているかは運次第?
私が行ったときは残念ながら水面からは出ておらず、膝位まで海水に沈んでました。
Thank you for enjoying the heavenly sea. Unfortunately, due to the season, timing, and tidal changes, the water level near the sandbar may vary, and there may be times when you cannot enjoy the completely exposed white sandy beach. We look forward to your next visit.
天国の海をお楽しみいただき有難うございます。残念ながら、季節や時期、潮の満ち引きによってサンドバー付近は海面の高さが変わるため、浅瀬が完全に海面から顔を出した真っ白な砂浜をお楽しみいただけない場合もございますことご了承ください。またのお越しお待ちしております。
I participated at the request of my son, who is now in his first year of middle school. Our guide, Shin, was very attentive and there were no particular troubles. My son was able to dive properly. I think he did a great job for his first time. We encountered sea turtles twice. It was humorous to see them just floating and not moving much. The schools of fish seemed a bit sparse. Still, when I went in with the snorkel and had food in my hand, I was able to observe a large number of fish up close.
中学1年になった息子のリクエストで参加しました。ガイドのシンさんは、丁寧に教えてくれて特にトラブルはありませんでした。息子もちゃんと潜っていました。はじめてにしては上出来だったと思います。ウミガメに2回出会いました。ちょっとボ~ッとして動かないのがユーモラスでした。魚群は少し薄い感じがしました。それでも、シュノーケルで入ったとき餌を手にしていると多くの数の魚がまじかで観察できました。
After a 15-minute ride on a medium-sized boat, we arrived at a shallow area with a depth of 20 to 30 centimeters. It was truly surprising. We walked around and chatted there, and then went snorkeling. However, we didn't have much time (about 30 to 40 minutes), which was a bit disappointing. There weren't as many fish as I had expected. The lunch was very delicious, but since it was probably around 3:30 to 4:00 PM, everyone was quite hungry. I think it's better to have a light snack if you're on an afternoon tour. However, I was very happy to unexpectedly receive Leonard's malasadas for free.
中型ボートで15分も走るとそこには20~30センチの浅瀬に。本当に驚きです。そこでウォーキングやおしゃべりなどをしてその後はシュノーケリングへ。ただあまり時間が取れず(30~40分位)そこがちょっと残念でした。お魚は期待していたよりいなかったです。ランチはとてもおいしかったのですが、恐らく3時半~4時位だったので、みんなお腹がペコペコでした。午後のツアーの場合、軽く食べていったほうがいいと思います。ただ、レナーズのマサラダが無料で配られ思いもよらなかったのでとても嬉しかったです。
The sandbar changes completely depending on the tides, and I think its uniqueness deserves a perfect score of 100. However, it's important to note that it doesn't always form a beach in the middle of the sea as shown in the pictures. Those who are lucky might find a beach, while others can enjoy the sea turtles.
サンドバーはそのときの潮の満ち引きによって全然景色が変わるし、珍しさは100点だと思います。
ただ、写真のように海の真ん中に浜になっているとは限らないので要注意。運がいい人は浜に当たるかもね。浜に出会えない方は海ガメで楽しめるかも。
I was picked up from the hotel where I was staying, passed by the "What Tree Is That?" tree, and arrived at the port. After a bathroom break, we boarded the boat. Before reaching the dolphin point, we were lucky enough to see a rare whale at the end of April. We snorkeled at the dolphin point. When we were told to "look down," we saw many dolphins! The underwater world, illuminated by sunlight, was beautiful.
My 4-year-old child was indeed scared of the ocean, but the staff helped by putting them on a kayak, and they seemed to have a great time.
The hula dance while feeling the wind was also enjoyable, and the CD of the photos I purchased turned out to be excellent. I brought an underwater camera, but I couldn't compete with the professionals.
Since it was April, I was glad I brought a hoodie.
宿泊してたホテルまで迎えにきてもらい、この木なんの木の横を通過し、港に到着。トイレタイムの後船に乗り込みます。イルカポイントに着く前に4月末には珍しい鯨に会えました。イルカポイントでシュノーケル。look downと言われ海の中を見るとイルカがたくさん!日の光が注ぐ海の中は綺麗でした。
4歳の子どもは、やはり海を恐がりましたが、スタッフがカヤックに乗せてくれて、楽しそうでした。
風を感じてのフラダンスも楽しかったし、購入した写真のCDも、申し分なく出来上がりの良いものでした。私も水中カメラを持って行きましたが、プロには敵わないです。
時期が4月ということもあり、パーカーを持って行って正解でした。
楽しかったです、素晴らしい体験でした。スタッフの皆さん、ありがとうございます。
It was fun, was an impressive experience
Your staff, thank you
I traveled with my 82-year-old mother, and she was able to walk without any issues, which made us very happy. It was a tour that everyone in the family enjoyed. It was a very beautiful place, and it became a lifelong memory for both my mother and me. Thank you very much.
82歳母との同行でしたが、全く問題なく歩けてとても喜んでおりました。参加した家族全員が喜んで遊べたツアーでした。とても綺麗な場所で母にも私にも一生の思い出になりました。有難うございました。
I had to go to the sandbar on my first trip to Hawaii! Although I was alone, the staff were young and friendly, and the ocean was incredibly beautiful. Of course, I also got to see sea turtles. It seemed difficult to take pictures, though. I’m good at snorkeling, so I easily cleared it and swam at the front of the tour, enjoying the fish in the clear waters.
初めてのハワイでサンドバー行くっきゃない!だけどぉ、独りは一人だったけどぉ。スタッフは若くて気さくな感じだし、海はとってもきれいなのだぁ。もちろんウミガメも見れたよぉ。写真に撮るのは難しそうだったけれどぉ。初種のーケリングも潜るの得意だから難なくクリアーでツアーの先頭を泳げば澄み切った海で魚たちを楽しめます。
It was my first experience with snorkeling!
Even though I wore a life jacket, it was quite challenging for me, who can't swim, to get used to using the fins ^^;
However, they assessed how well each participant could swim at the beginning and provided support, so I was able to swim with peace of mind ;)
The water wasn't as clear as in photos or stories, so I couldn't see the dolphins clearly underwater or swim with them, but I could hear their voices! ((@0@) From the boat, I was able to see several mother-dolphin pairs and groups☆
The captain and crew were incredibly kind, and the hamburgers were delicious ♥ When I was on the kayak, I got to see a sea turtle up close, which was truly moving (:_; )
And above all...
The ocean was so beautiful!!!!
I forgot everything and felt so relaxed ´ω`
The final hula experience was also a lot of fun *^'*b
I think anyone, whether friends, couples, or families, will definitely enjoy it!!
I highly recommend it for those who want to experience Hawaii in just one day\^0^/
シュノーケリング初体験でした!
ライフジャケットを着用していたものの、
泳げない私はフィンの使い方に
慣れるまでなかなか大変でした^^;
でも最初にどのくらい泳げるか
参加者の状態を把握して
フォローしてくれたので
安心して泳げました;)
海はそれほど透き通ってなかったので、
写真や体験談のように
水中でイルカをハッキリ見たり、
一緒に泳ぐことはできませんでしたが、
声が聞こえましたよっ((@0@
船上からは何頭もの親子や群れを
見ることができました☆
キャプテンやクルーの皆さんは
とーっても優しいし、
ハンバーガーはおいしいし♥
カヤックに乗った時には
ウミガメを間近で見られて
本当に感動しました(:__;)
そして何より…
海がキレ~~~イ!!!!

とっても楽しかったです*^'*b
友達、カップル、家族、
誰と参加しても必ず
楽しめると思います!!
一日でHawaiiを体験したい方には
本当にオススメです\^0^/
I participated in the most popular tour, the afternoon BBQ lunch tour, which is known for its delicious food. The weather was great, and the sea was beautiful! I realized I had forgotten my video camera on the shuttle bus. What a shock! I had bought a compact video camera to capture this sea... In the early morning, I joined the Diamond Head sunrise tour. I guess I was a bit relaxed, and while searching for a shop near the boat departure point, I found none.
When I asked the staff, they mentioned that waterproof cameras called "Utsurun desu" are sold on the boat... When I tried to buy one, I learned about a service that turns photos taken at the sand bar into a DVD. The sand bar is a famous spot for commercial filming. Hmm. The "Utsurun desu" camera costs $20, while the DVD shooting is $45... I thought about having a photo DVD made of me, my son, and my mother.
However, we had to pose properly... arms wide open, all three of us overlapping, and so on. Plus, I was bare-faced with messy hair... I thought the woman in a bikini taking our photos looked much more suited to the beautiful sea... but we went ahead with it. My son had a stiff expression the whole time. My mother looked great in the photos, and the photo spots were indeed well-chosen.
The finished photos turned out beautifully. However, having to pick them up at the office near DFS after 7 PM that day was a bit inconvenient. I wished there was a delivery service to the hotel.
After that, we went snorkeling. My son, who had been taking swimming lessons, of course participated. I also joined since I had gotten somewhat used to it at Hanauma Bay on the first day. However, the water was 20 meters deep. The distance was about 100 meters round trip, I think. It suddenly got deep from knee-deep water. Some women decided not to participate, fearing they might panic at that depth, but I can only swim about 25 meters. There were small children participating with their fathers, so it was okay. However, the visibility wasn't that great, and I could only see a few fish far below.
We saw several sea turtles from the boat on the way to the sand bar.
The BBQ lunch after snorkeling was delicious, just as I had expected. The kalbi meat was easy to eat, and we all commented on how tasty the salad was.
ツアーで一番人気の、このツアーBBQランチが美味しいという評判の午後ツアーに参加してきました。
天気も良く、海も綺麗!送迎のバスの中でビデオカメラを忘れてきたことに気がつきました。ショック。この海を撮りたくて小型ビデオカメラを購入したのに・・・早朝、ダイアモンドヘッド日の出ツアーに参加。きっと、気が緩んでいたんでしょうねと思いつつ、ボートの発着所付近にショップはないか、捜しましたがありません。
スタッフの方に聞くと、「写るんです」の防水カメラはボート内で販売しているとか・・・購入しようとすると、このサンド・バーで写真をDVDにしてくれるというサービスがあることを知りました。サンド・バーはCM撮影で有名なスポット。う~ん。「写るんです」は20ドル。DVD撮影は45ドル・・・いっそ、私と息子、母の3人を撮ってもらおうかと写真DVDをお願いしました。
しかし、ポーズをしっかりつけること・・・両手を広げて、三人重なって・・などなど。しかも、私はノーメイクで、髪はボサボサ・・・写真を撮ってくださるビキニの女性の方がよほど、この海の景色に似合いそうだ・・・などと思いつつ撮ってもらいました。息子は終始、かたい表情。母は、良い表情に撮れていましたし、写真を撮るスポットはさすがに、慣れているだけあって良かったです。
出来上がったものは、綺麗に撮れていました。
その日の19時以降にDFSの近くの事務所まで受け取りに行くのが、ちょっと。ホテルまで届けてくれるサービスなどあればと思いました。
その後はシュノーケリング。息子はスイミングを習っていたので、もちろん参加。私も初日のハナウマ湾で、やや慣れたので参加。けれど、水深20メートル。距離は往復で100メートル~だと思います。膝ほどの水深からいきなり、深くなります。
水深が20メートルだと、途中でパニックになるかもしれないなどど参加をやめた女性もいましたが、私も25メートルほどしか泳げません。小さな子供もお父さんと参加していたので、大丈夫です。ただし、透明度はそれほどではなく、魚もずっと下の方に少し見えるくらいでした。
海ガメは、サンド・バーに行く途上で何匹も船上から見えました。
シュノーケリングの後のBBQランチは期待通り、美味しかったです。カルビ肉は食べやすく、サラダも味付けが美味しいねと皆で話していま
On March 21, 2011, I participated in this tour with my parents and my son (8 years old). It was cloudy in Waikiki, and there was a bit of rain on the mountain roads, so I was worried about the weather. However, when we arrived at the location, it wasn't perfectly sunny, but the weather was decent with some sunshine. Even in late March, the water temperature was still low. During this tour, we snorkeled twice at different points, but during the first snorkeling session, my son and the other children turned blue in the lips and were shivering. The adults, including myself, didn't feel as cold, but if children are going snorkeling at this time of year, a rash guard might not be warm enough. The snorkeling left a stronger impression than walking on the sandbar. Most of the staff were Japanese, so they kindly explained how to wear and use the snorkeling gear in Japanese, which made me feel at ease. During the first snorkeling session, we encountered a sea turtle. The colorful tropical fish and the sea turtle were truly moving. We boarded the cruiser, which took us to the snorkeling points, and even though the meals on board were light snacks, they were quite delicious. For the second snorkeling session, I was told that the current was a bit stronger than at the first point, but even as a beginner, I was able to snorkel without being swept away. This point had clearer water and a more beautiful sea. We didn't see any sea turtles here, but afterward, we returned to the boat for turtle watching. We discovered many sea turtles, and my parents, who didn't snorkel, also enjoyed it. All the staff were kind, and I would definitely recommend this tour.
2011年3月21日にこのツアーに私の両親と私と息子(8歳)で参加しました。ワイキキでは曇りで途中山道でも雨がちらつき、天候が心配でしたが、現地に到着するとピーカンではありませんでしたが、日差しもぼちぼちの天候となりました。3月下旬でもやはり水温は低く、このツアーではポイントを変えて2回シュノーケルしたのですが、1度目のシュノーケルで、息子も含め他の子供達も唇が真っ青でぶるぶる震えるような感じになりました。私や他の大人の方々は、それほど寒さを感じませんでしたが、この時期のシュノーケルは、お子さんが行かれるのであれば、ラッシュガードでは寒いかもしれません。サンドバーのウォーキングよりは、シュノーケルが印象に残りました。スタッフは日本の方がほとんどでしたので、日本語で丁寧にシュノーケルの装着や使い方について説明してくださり、安心してシュノーケルができました。1度目のシュノーケル時にウミガメに遭遇しました。色とりどりの熱帯魚とウミガメ、それはもう感動的でした。クルーザーに乗り込み、ポイントまで連れていっていただいたのですが、船内での食事も軽食とはいえ、なかなかおいしかったです。2度目のシュノーケルは、最初のポイントよりやや潮の流れがあるとのことでしたが、初心者の私でも流されることなく安心してシュノーケルできました。こちらのポイントの方が透明度が高く美しい海でした。ここではウミガメには会えませんでしたが、その後船に戻りウミガメウォッチングをしました。
たくさんのウミガメを発見して、こちらはシュノーケルはしなかった私の両親も楽しんでいました。
スタッフのみなさんもどなたも親切ですし、是非お勧めしたいツアーです。
Travelled on a budget with my son to Oahu. Captain Bob's provided a great water adventure, including turtles, snorkeling and lunch. The excursion got us to the windward side of the island, allowing us to see more of Oahu. The staff was very friendly and helpful.
I participated in the summer of 10 years ago. It was really early in the morning, but I was moved by the sunrise at the sandbar and enjoyed the sandbar walk. On top of that, I went snorkeling in a place with sea turtles and tropical fish. It was a tour filled with the best of Hawaii. Above all, the hospitality of the staff was outstanding.
10年の夏に参加しました。朝メチャ早かったのですが、サンドバーでのサンライズに感動し、サンドバーウォークを楽しみました。おまけにウミガメや熱帯魚がいるところでシュノーケル。ハワイのいいところが詰まったツアーです。なによりスタッフのおもてなしが最高でした。
After taking the bus to switch to the boat, we headed to the point where we could see sea turtles. After seeing the sea turtles, we were on the boat for about another 5 minutes to the sandbar. Unfortunately, due to the tide, we ended up walking in knee-deep water. It was said that if the tide was just right, we could walk on the sandbank. Well, I didn't mind being in knee-deep water, but many people were disappointed.
After that, we changed locations for snorkeling. This was amazing! You can encounter all sorts of fish! Since the snorkeling was in a coral reef at a depth where you can't touch the bottom, it might be a bit challenging for beginners...
After that, we had a hearty lunch. This was also excellent.
Overall, it was a packed tour.
Don't forget to bring tissue paper to the restroom at the dock where the boat returns.
迎えのバスから船に乗り換えてウミガメの見えるポイントへ
ウミガメを見たらまた5分ぐらい船に揺られてサンドバーへ。
あいにく潮の加減でひざまで水につかってのウオーキングでした。
潮の具合でうまくいけば砂洲を歩けるとのこと。
まあ、ひざまで水につかってても私は気にならなかったけど、残念に思っていた人たちは多かった。
その後、また少し場所を替えてシュノーケリング。
これがすばらしい!
とにかくいろんな魚に逢える!
足のつかない深さのさんご礁のシュノーケリングなので、シュノーケリング初心者はちょっとハードかも・・・
それが終わるとボリュームたっぷりのランチ。
これも申し分なかったです。
とにかく盛りだくさんのツアーでした。
船が戻った桟橋のトイレにはティッシュをお忘れなく。
My wife and I went on this snorkeling cruise in late February, and it was the funnest part of our vacation on Oahu. Allthough there are many choices for snorkeling you could take while in Hawaii, and on Oahu, I really think this was good for the price. The crew, the lunch, and especially the place where we snorkled - Kaneohe Bay. Fantastic! The sandbar was fun, I think they should spend more time there, or incorporate another tour that would be just for those wanting to lounge around on the sandbar and have some drinks and food. We are glad that we went on this activity, and would do it again!
As soon as we got on the boat, there were over 50 dolphins waiting for us right there. The dolphins swam so slowly that we could swim alongside them at a distance that felt really close, and it was incredibly exciting! We could hear them well too! My middle school daughter, who is a beginner at snorkeling, said, "I definitely want to participate again!" The dolphins were just too cute! The dedication of the staff was also evident, and we had a truly enjoyable time! Thank you very much!
ボートに乗るとすぐそこに、
たくさんの50頭以上のイルカたちが待ってくれていました。
イルカたちがとてもゆっくり泳いでくれたので
本当に手が届きそうな距離で一緒に泳げて大興奮でした!
声もよく聞こえました!
シュノーケル初心者の中学生の娘も「絶対また参加したい!」と言っています!イルカたち可愛すぎます!
スタッフの皆さんの一生懸命さも伝わってきて
本当に楽しかったです!ありがとうございました!
I participated in an early morning cruise. When it comes to the winter sea, it's all about whales. I was torn between a whale tour and this one, but I decided to take a chance on the winter sea and chose this tour.
Although it was a dolphin tour, we stopped at a point where we could see whales at the beginning of the cruise, and I was able to see my long-awaited whales. I was also satisfied to see a mother and baby whale!
Then, we encountered many dolphins, and just when I thought we found one, a group of a dozen dolphins appeared, which was so exciting! The snorkeling afterward was also great, as I saw a lot of fish.
I'm not a strong swimmer, but thanks to the life jacket, I was able to snorkel with peace of mind. This time, there were three generations participating, from 0 to 71 years old, and my 3-year-old son enjoyed snorkeling, while my in-laws also had a great time on the cruise and snorkeling.
There was a staff member who was fluent in Japanese, which was reassuring. I couldn't eat lunch on the boat due to a bit of seasickness, but the staff kindly packaged it for me to take home. I ate it at the hotel after returning, and it was light and delicious.
早起きクルーズに参加しました。
冬の海といえばクジラ。クジラツアーと悩んだのですが、
冬の海に賭けて、こちらのツアーを選択しました。
イルカツアーでしたが、クルーズのはじめはクジラが見えるポイントへも寄ってくれて、念願のクジラを見ることができました。親子クジラにもあえて満足!
そして、本題のイルカにもたくさんあえました。1頭見つけたと思ったら十数頭のイルカの群が現れて大興奮!
その後のシュノーケリングもお魚がたくさんみえました。
私はカナヅチなのですが、ライフジャケットのお陰で安心してシュノーケリングできました。
今回三世代で0歳~71歳の参加でしたが、3歳の息子もシュノーケリングを楽しみ、義両親もクルーズ&シュノーケリングを楽しんでいました。
スタッフは日本語の堪能な方がいて安心できました。
昼食はちょっと船酔いのため船内で食べられなかったのですが、スタッフのかたが配慮くださり、お持ち帰り用にまとめてくださいました。帰宅後にホテルで食べたのですがあっさりしていて美味しかったです。
We booked this tour after reading about it on a web site. We asked our kids do you want to go to amusemant park setting and touch dolphins, OR swim with them in the ocean, and the results was unanimous The wild ones in the ocean! They picked us up at our hotel and took us to the boat, they were very friendly and punctual. The staff on the boat were beyond awesome. They were fun and explained everything and paid special attention to our 9 year old who was a little scared to go out in the big ocean. Pete sense her fear, and took control and jumped in the water with her and she had the best seat in the house on his back swimming with dolphins! He even brough her up a sea urchin to delight her while she was eating lunch! We had pretty rough water but the captain on the boat did a great job, very obvious he knew exactly what to do in in rough ocean. They bbq'd burgers for lunch with purple colored hamburger buns wheich totally delighted our daughter! They entertained us afterward
I participated with my child. The staff were very accommodating, and we had a great time. During snorkeling, we were able to see many beautiful fish, which was an amazing experience. However, it was unfortunate that the cloudy sky made the sea not shine as brightly as it does in pictures. Lastly, the BBQ we had on the boat was delicious, and we made wonderful memories. I highly recommend this for couples to join.
親子で参加しました。
スタッフの方の対応も良く、とても楽しかったです。
シュノーケリングでは、綺麗な魚をたくさん見ることができすごくいい体験ができました。
しかし、あいにくの曇り空で、海が本に載っているように白く輝いて見えなかったのが残念でした。
最後に船で食べたBBQもおいしく、いい思い出ができました。
カップルの方にぜひ参加してもらいたいです。
We had a great time on this cruise/snorkel activity. The staff on the boat were friendly and knowledgeable. The snorkeling on the reef was awesome with lots of colorful corals and many different fish. We saw a turtle in the water while we were snorkeling and followed it for awhile. We played water volleyball on the sandbar and it was lots of fun. The boat stopped at a spot where there are green turtles and we saw lots of them. The guitar serenade during lunch was a nice touch. I would recommend this cruise to others.
I was able to see wild dolphins, sea turtles, and even whales! The staff were all very nice, and I felt safe and enjoyed myself. I would like to participate again.
