I was a bit anxious because I saw some unsatisfactory reviews for the week I was participating, but it turned out to be great. There was music during the trip, and we got to do stand-up paddleboarding, kayaking, and snorkeling—all for a very reasonable price. It was my first time seeing fish swimming up close in the ocean. It was truly moving. I actually wanted to go to the heavenly sea, but I was very satisfied with this experience. I was grateful that I was able to make a last-minute reservation. All the staff were very cheerful and kind. I want to participate again!
私が参加する週で、あまり満足のいっていない口コミを見かけたのでドキドキしましたが、とても良かったです。行き帰りは演奏がありサップ、カヤック、シュノーケル全て行いこのお値段はとても良かったです。初めて海でお魚が泳いでいるところを間近に見ました。感動です。本当は天国の海に行きたかったのですが、こちらでとても満足しました。ギリギリの予約でも間に合ったのでありがたかったです。スタッフのみなさんもとても愉快で優しい人ばかりでした。また参加したい!!

Went for a morning tour with my parents and two of my kids, everyone love it!!!! They give you some bread to feed the fish so that we see a lot of fishes swimming around during snorkeling. They have lots other activities for you to play around, and the most best part is: all the staffs are super nice, and they SING GOOD!!!

From beginning to end the crew made everything easy, relaxing, fun and super special!!!! They were excellent with giving instructions and support to make us feel confident and comfortable in the water. The special attention to my 8yo daughter was above and beyond! We saw lots of turtles and beautiful fish. Kainoa even took my daughter around on the surf board and back to the boat when she needed a break so I could keep swimming! I highly recommend this to anyone and everyone! We want to do it again!!!!

The weather was windy and the sea was cold, which was disappointing, but overall it was a good day.
It's a free plan where you can set your own schedule. I think it's a good idea to think about the places you want to visit in advance.
We first rented bicycles and snorkeling gear, and then headed to Lanikai Beach. It took about 10 minutes by bike.
They also told us the best spots for snorkeling, and we quickly jumped into the water. We borrowed life jackets, so even though it was windy, we were able to float and see underwater. I was surprised to see so many different kinds of fish swimming in the shallow water—I didn't expect to see that much! It was cold, so we got out quickly, but I want to try again on a hot day.
For lunch, we had the pizza included in the plan. It was very large and satisfying.
In the afternoon, we went to Kailua Town, but since I hadn't done much research on the shops and didn't have many places I wanted to visit, we just wandered around and ended up not doing much.
If the weather had been better, I would have loved to enjoy the sea more...
I want to try again.
天気が風強く、海も寒かったのが残念でしたが、
総じて良い一日となりました。
自身で予定を立てるフリーのプランです。
事前に行きたいところを考えておくといいと思います。
私たちはまず
自転車・シュノーケリングの道具をレンタルし、
ラニカイビーチまで行きました。
自転車では10分程で着きました。
シュノーケリングしやすい箇所も教えてもらい、
すぐに海に潜りました。
ライフジャケットも借りたので、風が強かったですが、ぷかぷか浮きながら海中を見ることができました。
浅瀬でもいろいろな種類の魚が泳いでいて
こんなに見れると思わなかったのでびっくりでした!
寒くてすぐ上がってしまいましたが、またいつか暑い日にリベンジしたいです、、
お昼はプランについているピザを食べました。
とても大きくて満足です。
午後はカイルアタウンに出向きましたが、あまりお店の下調べをしておらず、行きたいところもそこまでなかったのでぷらぷらして終わりました。
天気が良ければもっと海を満喫したかったです…
またリベンジしたいです。

It was a tour that successfully crossed Hanauma Bay while navigating around the reef during low tide in the morning. Unfortunately, the turtles couldn't come into view because the tide was too low. Instead, we were able to see many fish. We started after listening to Dan's easy-to-understand explanations. There was appropriate support for the children, and I was able to enjoy snorkeling while taking in the scenery.
午前中に最干潮が重なっていてリーフを迂回しながらうまくハナウマ湾を横断しながらのツアーでした。残念ながらカメは潮が低すぎるので、見える場所には入ってこれないそう。かわりに沢山の魚を見ることが出来ました。ダンさんの分かりやすい説明を聞いてからスタート。子供たちには適宜サポートがあり、自分も景色を楽しみながらのスノーケルができました。

I participated with my 15-year-old and 12-year-old children. I was really looking forward to it and even changed our schedule after checking the business hours, but we were told that Kimo's was closed. We were directed to a nearby pancake place, but we had to go there on our own. Some lunch spots were also closed, and for lunch, we had to go and pick it up ourselves. Unfortunately, the pizza was just average. Other than the round-trip shuttle, we had to handle everything ourselves. Since the option for Kimo's was no longer available, we rented bikes, but riding right next to cars with rude drivers was particularly dangerous, especially with the kids.
15歳と12歳の子供と参加しました。一番楽しみにして、営業時間を確認して日程を変更したのにキモズが休みと言われ、近くのパンケーキを案内されたものの、各自で行ってくださいとのこと。ランチも空いてない店があり、そして、そのランチも各自で行ってピックアップということ。ピザも残念ながら普通。
往復シャトル以外は全て自分たちでどうぞということです。
オプションのキモズが無しになったのでレンタルバイクしましたが、車が走ってる真横、マナーのないドライバーの横を走るのは、特に子供とは危険でした。
Dear Pearl,
Thank you for visiting us and for your valuable feedback. Allow me to explain a few things.
Boots and Kimo's has unexpectedly changed its regular closing days to include Wednesdays starting in March, and we are very disappointed about this as well. Additionally, we received notice from one of the lunch spots that it would be closed on the day of your visit, which was sudden. The pizza is quite popular among visitors from Japan as it differs from Japanese pizza, but for those living in America, it may feel quite ordinary. We wish we could offer a wider variety of lunch options, but currently, these are the only nearby establishments available.
Regarding the beach tour, we aim to provide a flexible experience where you can enjoy activities and meals at your preferred times, so I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.
As for the bicycles, while Kailua has well-established bike lanes, it seems that you had a frightening experience due to cars in areas outside of those lanes. I'm glad to hear you were not injured.
Thank you again for taking the time to write a review. We will take your feedback into consideration and strive to improve our tours where possible.
Thank you.

ご来店及び貴重なご意見ありがとうございました。少し説明させて頂きます。
ブーツアンドキモズは3月より火曜日に加え水曜日も突然定休日になってしまい、私共もとても残念に思っております。また、ランチの一店舗が閉まっていた件も当日の朝、レストランより連絡があり、突然の事でした。ピザは日本からお越しの方には日本のピザとは違うということで、とても人気のピザですが、アメリカ在住の方々には普通に感じられますよね。もう少し違うランチが用意出来れば良いのですが、今現在は当店より近いこれらのお店のみになります。ビーチツアーでは、好きな時間に好きな遊びをし、好きな時間に好きな物を食べるというツアーにしておりますので、ご不便をおかけしたかと思います。申し訳ございません。
また、自転車ですが、カイルアは自転車レーンがかなり完備されてるかと思いますが、自転車レーン以外の場所はマナーのない方々の車で怖い思いをされたようですね。お怪我等されなくてよかったです。
この度は、レビューのご記入ありがとうございました。ご意見参考にさせて頂き、私共で出来ることがあればツアーをよりよく変えていきたいと思います。

I was a bit disappointed because there were hardly any fish. The scenery is beautiful and the water is clear. However, if you're expecting to see a lot of fish at Hanauma Bay, it doesn't make sense to go since there are almost none. There may have been many in the past, but now...
Waiting for a long time to enter and paying a high admission fee just to catch a glimpse of a few fish here and there isn't worth it. The rental equipment is clean, even if it's reused, and the driver was nice. However, being crammed into a car with other guests isn't comfortable, and if there are no fish to see, it raises the question of the tour's value. I think the decrease in tours to Hanauma Bay is due to its diminishing appeal. Still, I believe it's great that such tours exist for those who really want to go snorkeling at Hanauma Bay.
少しがっかりなのは、ずばり魚がほとんどいないから。
風光明媚でお水も綺麗。
でもハナウマ湾にはたくさんのお魚を期待していくのであれば、お魚がほぼいないので、行く意味がずれます。
昔はたくさんいたのでしょうが、今は…。
ちらほらたまに見かける程度のお魚をちらっと見るために、長時間入場を待たされ、高い入場料は払い、というのは見合いません。
レンタル品は使いまわしとはいえ清潔感もあり、ドライバーさんも良い方。
でもゲストがギュウギュウに詰められた車は居心地は良くなく、お目当てのお魚がいないのであれば参加意義は?となってしまいそうです。
ハナウマ湾のツアーが減っているのは、魅力が減ってきてるからだと思いました。
それでもどうしてもハナウマ湾でシュノーケリングをしたい方のために、こういったツアーがあるのはありがたいのだと思います。

There were staff members who spoke Japanese fluently, which made us feel at ease.
One point that concerned us was that there was no mention of tips in the tour details, and we only brought minimal valuables. On the day of the tour, just before leaving, the staff announced about tipping, and since we didn't have any cash, we felt a bit guilty as we just passed it by. I recommend bringing at least a little cash with you.

I chose this tour as a relatively inexpensive way to get to Hanauma, which has become difficult to access individually due to the lack of bus services and difficulty in making reservations.
Although the guide did not speak any Japanese, as long as you confirm the departure location and time from Hanauma, you'll be fine. Before arriving at Hanauma, we made a stop at a scenic viewpoint where we collected the entrance fee of $25 per person.
After that, we lined up until the designated entrance time, received snorkeling gear, and the guide informed us of the meeting location and time before leaving. A representative from the participants paid the entrance fees for everyone, and after a brief explanation of Hanauma and an 8-minute video, we were free to explore until we disbanded.
We enjoyed snorkeling and saw a lot of fish in the rocky areas. If you understand even a little English, this tour is very fulfilling to participate in.
なかなか予約も取れず、バスもない、個人では行き難くなったハナウマに比較的安く行く方法として、このツアーを選びました。
全く日本語は通じないガイドさんの送迎ツアーですが、ハナウマからの出発場所と時間さえしっかり確認しておけば、大丈夫です。
ハナウマ到着前に見晴らしの良い場所で途中下車した際に、ハナウマ入場料$25/人を集めました。
その後指定されたハナウマ入場時間迄並び、シュノーケル用具を渡され、そこでガイドは集合場所と時間を伝えて一旦帰りました。参加者代表の人が全員分の入場料を支払い入場、ハナウマ利用説明と8分間のビデオ視聴のあと各自解散まで自由に行動しました。
私達はシュノーケリングを楽しみました。岩のある場所では本当に沢山の魚が見られました。

Overall the experience was amazing! It was a first for both my husband and I and the kids. The crew did a fantastic job. They provided clear instructions, ensuring we were all safe and had many opportunities to see the sea turtles among a plethora of wildlife along the reef. I would not hesitate to book this again.
I do think it was a bit disorganized with adults and children going down the ladders and then needing to come right back up, leaving patrons that had not had a chance to get in the water a 10 min leg time.
Also, a female crew member was wearing a thong bikini bottom which I have no problem with - wear one!! However, the male crew members continued to smack her bottom or spray it with the defogger. I’m not sure that the female crew member cared but definitely not acceptable now a days!

Thirty years ago, entry was free and feeding the fish was allowed, so there were many fish at the beach, but it seems the system has changed now. Since it was February in Hawaii, the temperature was low, and it was a tough environment without a wetsuit. The guide was a very kind Japanese couple living there, but there were fewer fish than I had imagined, which was a bit disappointing. However, Hanauma is undoubtedly a wonderful spot that you should definitely visit.
30年前は自由な入場、餌やりOKだったのでビーチに魚がたくさんいましたが、現在はシステムが変更になったようですね。
2月のハワイということもあり気温が低く、スーツが無いと厳しい環境でした。ガイドさんは在住日本人夫婦で大変親切でしたが、想像していたよりも魚は少なく少し残念でした。

We had a fantastic tour with seven people spanning three generations, from ages six to seventy-two. Despite our different interests and abilities, we immersed ourselves in snorkeling, relaxed on floaties, searched for turtles in the shallow waters, and enjoyed the scenery and snacks on the boat. Everyone was thoroughly satisfied! This was all thanks to the warm consideration of the staff! The bus driver and everyone on the boat were always smiling and friendly, and we truly appreciate it!
Although the restroom and changing facilities were not very convenient, the staff conveyed their love for the ocean by saying, "This is our office," which made us feel a sense of respect for nature and reminded us to be mindful during our visit.
Since we visited in mid-March during a slightly chilly high tide, I would love to come back and see everyone again during a warm low tide period.
6歳から72歳まで3世代7名、それぞれの興味や能力が異なり心配していましたが、シュノーケリングに没頭したり、浮き輪でぼーっとしたり、浅瀬で亀を探したり、船の上で景色とお菓子を堪能したりと、それぞれが大満足のツアーでした。それもこれもスタッフの皆さまの温かい配慮のお陰です!バスの運転手さんも船上の皆さまもずっと笑顔で気さくに話しかけて頂き、本当にありがとうございました!
トイレや着替えは便利ではないですが、スタッフの方が「ここが私たちのオフィス」と海を大切にされてるのが伝わり、自分たちも自然に敬意を持ってお邪魔させて頂こうと身が引き締まりました。
今回は3月中旬の少し肌寒い満潮(?)のタイミングだったので、今度は温かい干潮の時期にまた皆さんに会いに行きたいです。
Aloha! Thank you for joining the Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour with your three generations of family. We are very happy to hear that everyone enjoyed the tour in their own style. All of our staff look forward to seeing you again. A Hui Hou!

As expected from a popular tour, there were a lot of participants.
It takes about 45 minutes by bus to the nearby harbor. The local drivers often crank up the air conditioning, so be sure to bring something to wear. During the ride, they kept introducing delicious restaurants (they highly recommended Leonard's malasadas).
Once we arrived at the port, we boarded the boat. Our guide, Kevin, was fluent in Japanese, so there were no issues. The sea was calm enough that we didn't need any motion sickness medication. The beauty of the sandbar was beyond words, and there were plenty of sea turtles.
Towards the end of the tour, the weather turned and it got cold, so make sure to bring a hoodie or something warm.
I would love to join this tour again during the dry season.
人気ツアーだけあって参加者がとても多かったです。
近くのハーバーまではバスで45分ほど。現地ドライバーにありがちな冷房ガンガン仕様なので、必ず羽織るものをもって乗車しましょう。車中ではずっと美味しいレストランなどを紹介してくれました。(レナーズのマラサダを激押ししてきます)
港に着いたらボートに乗船。ガイドのケビンは日本語が達者で困ることはありませんでした。酔い止めもなくて大丈夫なくらい海は穏やか。サンドバーのきれいさは言うまでもなし。ウミガメもうじゃうじゃいました。
ツアー終盤天気が崩れて寒くなって来たのでパーカーなどは必ず持って参加しましょう。
乾季にまた参加してみたいツアーです。

My childhood dream was to swim with wild dolphins. Before I knew it, I had progressed in swimming to the point where I could participate in national competitions.
Dolphin University made that dream come true for me. Staff member MAKI provided us beginners with thorough and entertaining explanations, complete with jokes, which brought smiles to the faces of the Japanese participants!
And I underestimated the sea. I experienced seasickness for the first time in my life here.
On the boat, there was unlimited drinking water and hot water, but at that moment when I could barely stand… MAKI brought drinks around, and I was so touched by that perfect timing. Additionally, she shared gum to help with the nausea and regularly checked in on us, providing excellent care that made my seasickness much better, allowing me to enjoy swimming with the dolphins.
Thanks to MAKI and my experience at Dolphin University, I learned so much about the importance of nature, the value of living creatures, and the joy and excitement of the sea. I truly feel lucky.
For participants, you can learn the Japanese joke for free from MAKI.
Thank you for the unforgettable memories. Next time, I will definitely participate again!
私の子供の頃の夢は『野生のイルカと泳ぐこと』
そのために始めたスイミングも気付けば全国大会に出れる程にまでなりました。笑
そんな私の夢を叶えてくれたイルカ大学。
スタッフのMAKIさんが初心者の私たちへの丁寧で面白いギャグ込みの説明をしてくれ日本人参加者たちのお顔も笑顔に!
そしてナメてました海。
船酔いです。
人生初の嘔吐もここで経験させて頂きました
船内には飲み放題のお水やお湯があるのですが、立つことも辛くなってしまったそのとき…MAKIさんが周りに飲み物を持ってきてくれて、そのベストタイミングに感激でした
そしてそれ以外にも(酔いを紛らわす為の)ガムを分けてくださったり、定期的に声をかけてくださったりととても手厚いケアに、船酔いもかなり良くなり楽しくイルカと泳げました
スタッフのMAKIさん、そしてイルカ大学での経験から、自然の大切さや生き物の尊さ、海の楽しさや感動など多くの事を学ばせて頂けた私は本当ラッキーです。
