All Reviews for Marine Wildlife Encounters

I didn't have high expectations, but it was very pleasant and the scenery was beautiful. When a whale is spotted, they announce it and let you know where it is, so if you keep an eye out, you might see a mother and her calf quite close by. It was quite moving. It felt like time stood still, and it was very healing. I want to participate again, but my husband seemed to struggle with seasickness, so for those worried about seasickness, it's better to take medication in advance to enjoy it more. Definitely give it a try!

余り期待はしてなかったのですが、とても気持ちが良く、景色も良かったです。
クジラが見えたら放送がかかり、どの辺りにいるって教えてもらえるので、ずっと見張ってると親子かな？結構近くにいてみれました。
何か感動～
時間が止まってるかのようで癒されました。
又参加したいけど、旦那が船酔いしてしんどそうで、船酔いの心配の人は薬を飲んでおいた方が楽しめます。
是非参加してみてください♪

I went on my first trip to Hawaii from March 8 to March 12. I had planned to book activities in Japan, but a friend advised me to make reservations after arriving due to weather conditions, so I booked everything on my smartphone the day before.

Two days prior, I had booked parasailing with a different company, and although it was sunny until just before our turn, it started to rain and got cold when it was finally our turn. I was worried about the weather that day, but it turned out to be beautifully clear! ╰(*´︶`*)╯♡

We stayed at a minor hotel, so the nearby Hyatt Regency was the pickup location. When we boarded, there were already an American man, his two nephews, their two mothers, and a Japanese newlywed couple on the bus. It seemed we were the last to be picked up. After about 30 minutes of driving, we arrived at the boat dock.

It took about 20 minutes for check-in and to go over safety instructions. The company we were with was located on the same premises as the parasailing company I had used two days earlier, but while the parasailing company had restrooms, this one instructed us to use the nearby McDonald's for facilities. I didn't particularly want anything from McDonald's and thought I could hold it, so I boarded the boat without going. Looking back, I definitely should have used the restroom at that point since there are no toilets on the water…

Once on the boat, drinks (water) and snacks were available for unlimited consumption. After about 5 to 10 minutes, we arrived at the spot for the underwater scooters. It seemed that others were only participating in the underwater scooter activity, so we stayed on the boat while we were on a course that included SUP and snorkeling, and we transferred to a smaller boat to head to the sandbar.

Since it was a private tour, a Japanese staff member kindly taught us how to use the SUP, and while the snorkeling didn't have an abundance of beautiful fish, we were able to observe the fish slowly and take photos, which made for a very satisfying experience. I think we spent about an hour at the sandbar.

They provided wetsuits, but only for the upper body, so be careful not to cut your feet on the coral while snorkeling! I ended up getting injured in two places. ε-(´∀｀; )

After that, we moved to the underwater scooter spot. Once we switched back to the boat we had arrived on, there were already about 20 people from the underwater scooter group who had almost finished boarding, and we waited about 10 minutes until it was our turn. While waiting, we were able to see a honu (sea turtle) come up to the surface from the boat. The Japanese staff member had told us earlier that we would definitely see honu, so I was excited, but I never expected it to be so easy to spot them! (((o(*ﾟ▽ﾟ*)o)))♡

Once on the underwater scooter, after equalizing my ears, we followed the staff to a depth of about 2 to 3 meters. My face only got wet when going in and out of the helmet, so it was fine to wear contacts. Even in Hawaii, the water was quite cold when entering. When I shook the chain with the food, a lot of fish came to us.

Then we were taken to the honu spot, where we could see honu swimming on the ocean floor, drive the underwater scooter ourselves, and take photos with friends, which was very satisfying. I think we spent about 20 minutes there.

On the way back to the dock, the staff showed us the photos they had taken, and if we wanted to purchase any, we could do so. We decided not to buy them since they were a bit pricey, but there were some good photos. It seemed they had also filmed a video.

Afterward, since we were cold, it would have been nice to have a shower, but there wasn't one available. So, we were driven back to the Hyatt Regency by our pickup driver, and that concluded the tour. I was very satisfied with the private sandbar and my first experience with the underwater scooter. If I have the chance to go to Hawaii again, I would love to participate again!

３月８日から３月１２日までのはじめてのハワイ旅行でした。
日本でアクティビティを予約してから参加しようと思っていましたが知り合いから天候の関係で現地についてから予約したほうがいいとのことで前日に現地でスマホから予約しました。
２日前に別な会社でパラセーリングを予約して参加したらパラセーリング直前まで晴れてたのに私たちの番になったら雨が降ってきて寒かったので当日天気が不安でしたが見事にピーカン╰(*´︶`*)╯♡
私達はマイナーホテルに泊まっていたので近くのハイアットリージェンシーがピックアップ場所でした。
乗り込むとアメリカから来たおじさんと
その甥っ子２人、そのお母さん達２人、日本人の新婚さん２人が既に乗っていて私達は最後のピックアップだったようです。
３０分ほど乗車すると船乗り場に着きます。
そこから受付や、注意事項確認で２０分程かかりました。
２日前に参加したパラセーリングの会社と同じ敷地内に今回の会社もありましたがパラセーリングの方はトイレがあったのにこちらの会社はお手洗いは近くのマクドナルドを利用してくださいとの説明でした…
特にマクドナルドで食べたいものもなかったのとお手洗いにも行かなくても大丈夫かなと思いそのまま乗船。
後で思いましたがこのタイミングで必ずお手洗いに行ったほうがいいです。
海上にはもちろんトイレはありません…
船に乗ると飲み物（水）や、スナックがあり食べ放題でした。
５分から１０分程すると水中スクーターが出来るスポットに到着します。
他の方達は水中スクーターのみの参加だったようで
そのまま船に残り私達はSUPや、シュノーケリングもできるコースだったので小型船に乗り換えサンドバーへ移動しました。
貸切だったので日系スタッフの方が丁寧にSUPの乗り方を教えてくれたのと、シュノーケリングも、キレイな魚がうじゃうじゃいたわけでもありませんでしたがゆっくり魚を観察したり、写真を撮ってもらったりのんびりできたので大満足でした。
１時間ほどサンドバーにいたと思います。
ウエットスーツを貸してもらえますが上だけなのでシュノーケリングの際サンゴで足を切らない様に注意！
私は2箇所も怪我しました
ε-(´∀｀; )
その後水中スクーターのスポットへ移動しました。
移動後、先ほど乗ってきた船に乗り換えると既に20人ほど乗っていた水中スクーターのみのコースの方達がほぼ乗り終わっていて１０分ほど待機してると私たちの番になりました。
待機中ホヌが海上に上がってきて船の上から
見ることができました。
先ほどサンドバーの時に日系スタッフの方から100%ホヌを見ることができるよと聞いていたので期待していたのですがまさかこんなに簡単に見れるとは
(((o(*ﾟ▽ﾟ*)o)))♡
水中スクーターへ乗り耳抜きが済むとスタッフの方の誘導で深さ2、3メートルのところまで行きます。
顔は水中スクーターのヘルメットの中に入る時と出る時のみ濡れるのでコンタクトでも大丈夫でした。
水に入る時はハワイといえどすごく寒いです。
水中では餌が入っている鎖を振るとたくさんの魚がよってきてくれました。
その後ホヌスポットへ連れて行ってもらい海底に潜っているホヌをみたり、水中スクーターを自分で運転したり、友達との写真を撮ってもらい大満足でした。
時間的には２０分くらいだと思います。
その後は船着場へ戻る途中でスタッフの方が撮った写真を見せてもらって購入希望の場合は購入という流れでした。
私達は金額が高めだったので買いませんでしたがいい写真が結構ありました。
ムービーも撮ってくれていたようです。
その後は体が冷えてるのでシャワーなどあればいいですがないので迎えにきてくれた方の運転でまたハイアットリージェンシーへ送っていただきツアー終了でした。
サンドバーが貸切だったのと水中スクーターも初体験だったので大満足でした。
またハワイに行く機会があれば参加したいです。

I had never experienced seasickness before, but I ended up going home without doing anything due to it. While the waves in Japan might not start, in Hawaii, they usually do. Please be careful. The round-trip taxi fare and the shark adventure cost about $380. I went, got seasick, couldn't see any sharks, and came back, feeling like I just threw away $380. Since you won't get your money back, everyone, please be very careful about the weather. Also, if you can't understand English listening to some extent, you won't know what the staff on the boat are saying.

船酔いした事なかったですが、船酔いして何もしないまま帰りました。
日本では開始しないような波でもハワイは普通に開始します。気おつけてください。往復のタクシー代とシャークアドベンチャー代で380ドルぐらいかかりました。
行って、船酔いして、サメも見れず、帰って、380ドルを捨てたようなものでした。
お金も返って来ないので、みなさん、天候には充分に気をつけてください。
あと、ある程度英語のリスニングが出来ないと、船のアテンドの人が何言ってるかわかりません。

The view from the boat on the way to the submarine was beautiful. There weren't many fish near the submarine, but I was able to see a lot of small fish and sea turtles. Before getting on the submarine, there was someone who interpreted in Japanese, but the explanations from the crew inside the submarine were in English, so I couldn't understand what they were saying.

潜水艦に行くまでの船からの景色が綺麗でした。潜水艦の近くには魚があまり来なかったですが、たくさんの小さい魚とウミガメも見られました。潜水艦に乗る前までは日本語で通訳してくれる人がいましたが、潜水艦の中でクルーが説明している内容が英語だったので何を言っているのか分からなかったです。

I wanted to show my daughter whales up close, so I signed up for a tour. On the day of the tour, there was rain and wind, and the sea was rough. It was a relatively large boat, but it was very rocky, and I got seasick. My daughter was so sick that she couldn't leave the restroom, so we didn't get to see any whales. I also got seasick, but I managed to see some whales, although I only caught a glimpse of their tails a few times. Depending on the season and weather, I wouldn't recommend this for people who are not good on boats.

娘にクジラを近くで見せてあげたいと思い、ツアーに申込みました。当日は雨風があり海は荒れ模様。
比較的大きな船でしたが、非常に揺れて船酔いが。。
娘はひどくてトイレから出てこれずクジラどころではありませんでした。私自身も船酔いしましたが、何とかクジラを見ました。けれど尾っぽが数回見れたくらいでした。時期や天候にもよりますが、船が苦手な人には勧められません。

I participated in a dolphin tour during the second half of my trip to Hawaii. Most of the trip was rainy and quite chilly, but on this day, it was sunny from the morning, and the temperature was high, making for a comfortable tour. I was worried about whether I would see dolphins, but I was truly moved to see them three times. When a dolphin passed right in front of me, I got goosebumps. Additionally, during the snorkeling time, I was able to see many sea turtles, making it a truly fulfilling tour. Since it was a family trip, I also enjoyed dancing with everyone on the boat during the tour. I would love to participate again.

ハワイ旅行後半にイルカ中学に参加しました。旅行中のほとんどが雨が多く肌寒いことも多かったのですが、この日は朝から快晴で気温も高く快適なツアーになりました。一番のお目当てのイルカが見れるかが心配でしたが、３度も見ることができ本当に感動でした。目の前をイルカが通過したときは鳥肌が立ちました。またシュノーケリング時間でもウミガメをたくさん見ることができて本当に充実したツアーになりました。家族単独旅行でしたのでこのツアーで他の皆さんと船上でダンスしたのも楽しかったです。また参加したいと思います。

I heard that it can take time to find a pod of dolphins depending on the day, but when I participated in February, it took 4 hours to swim with the dolphins (sometimes they can be found in about 30 minutes). They generally stick around for hours until they find them, so it's wise not to schedule anything else after the tour.

However, even if it takes time to encounter the dolphins, you can swim with whales, turtles, and various fish in the meantime, which makes for a very satisfying experience. The staff were also friendly and welcoming, making it a great tour.

日によってイルカの群れを見つけるまで時間が掛かることがあるとの事だったのですが、
2月に参加した際はイルカと泳ぐまで4時間かかりました(早い時は30分くらいで見つけられるらしい)。
基本的に見つかるまで何時間も粘ってくれるので、ツアーの後に他の予定は入れておかない方が賢明です。

しかしイルカに出会うまで時間がかかっても、それまでクジラ、カメやいろんな魚と泳ぐ事が出来るので、とても満足度が高いです。
スタッフの方々も親切でアットホームで、良いツアーでした。

It lasted about an hour, but I was able to see the whales jump and spout (multiple times) without any issues!

The announcements were mainly in English, but there were also explanations in Japanese, so there were no problems.

It was the simplest plan without pick-up or breakfast, but the boarding time was also about two hours, which was not a problem. I was able to arrive smoothly from Waikiki using The Bus.

Points to note:
- The waves were quite high, and the boat rocked a lot. Be cautious of seasickness.
- Inside the cabin, the air conditioning was too strong, and outside it was windy and quite cold. A jacket is essential.
- The boat is relatively old and not very clean. There were areas that smelled a bit like garbage, possibly due to the food being served.

1時間程度でしたが、無事、鯨のジャンプと潮吹き（何度も）見ることができました！

基本的には英語のアナウンスですが日本語の解説もあり問題ありません。

送迎なし、朝食ナシの一番シンプルなプランでしたが、乗船時間も2時間程度と短く、特に問題ありません。
ワイキキからもThe Busで滞りなく到着できました。

注意点は・・
・かなり波が高く船はかなり揺れます。船酔い注意。
・船上はキャビン内はクーラーが効きすぎ、外は風が強くかなり冷えます。はおりモノは必須
・船は割と古く、それほどキレイではありません。食事が出るせいもあるか生ごみっぽいにおいがするエリアもあった

I boarded the boat thinking I would be lucky to see even one whale, but I was thrilled to see three whales swimming together and dolphins up close multiple times! I could clearly hear the sound of them blowing water, and it was a wonderful experience of nature. The whale watching was fantastic, but one thing that concerned me was the loud construction noise inside the boat, which made it difficult to hear the naturalist's announcements and music. It would have been even better if there had been consideration for that.

一回でもみれたらラッキーと思いながら乗船しましたが、3匹のくじらが仲良く泳いでいる姿やイルカも近くで何回も見れてとても良かったです！潮を吹く時の音などもはっきり聞こえ、自然を体感できました。ホエールウォッチングとしては素晴らしかったのですが、一つ気になったのは船内での工事の音が大きく、ナチュラリストさんのアナウンスや音楽が聞こえにくかったりしたので、そこの配慮があったらなお良かったです。

Unfortunately, I couldn't see them, but I was happy to meet a pod of dolphins. The guide was really nice and would let us know as soon as he spotted something!

The boat was comfortable, pleasant, and fun!

残念ながら見れませんでしたが、イルカの群れに会えてうれしかったです。
ガイドさんは何か見えるとすぐ教えてくれたり、すごくいい人でした！

船も快適で、気持ちよく、楽しかったです！

We participated as a family!
It was our first whale watching experience!
The weather was nice, and we saw whales several times!
The kids were thrilled and had a great time!

家族で参加しました！
初のホエールウォッチングでした！
天気も良くクジラも何回か見えました！
子供も大喜びで楽しかったです！

Whales don't come out of the water with a big splash like in the anime. You might see a tail fin like in the pictures on the site, but in reality, it's smaller and not very impressive. However, I think kids will enjoy it, and being on the boat feels nice, so it's worth going at least once. I recommend it over the sandbar.

クジラってアニメみたいに、ザブーーーンと海面からは出てこないんです。サイトの写真にあるような尾びれは出ますが、実物は小さく迫力はないです。でもお子さまは喜ぶとは思うし、船は気持ちいいので、１回は行っても損はしない。サンドバーより、おすすめ。

I appreciated the audio guidance in Japanese available on the shuttle bus and inside the cruise ship. Unfortunately, the real-time announcements regarding whale sightings and the sea conditions that day (explanations from the captain and guides) were difficult to understand without knowledge of English.

During the whale watching, we moved to the deck where we could watch the whales in sync with the surrounding movements. Thanks to the three-story large ship, the deck and interior were windy and choppy, but it didn't sway as much as I expected. When a whale surfaced and spouted water, there was a cheer, and everyone got excited beyond words. It was truly moving to see a whale up close.

I think even someone like me, who only understands a bit of English, can manage just fine. It was a very enjoyable experience.

行きの送迎バスの中やクルーズ船内でも一通りの音声ガイダンス日本語案内があり、ありがたかったです。
残念なのは、鯨の出没の際の説明や当日の海の状態などリアルタイムの案内（船長とガイドの説明）は、英語が理解できないと何を言っているのかよくわかりませんでした。
鯨ウォッチングのタイミングの時は周りの動きに合わせて鯨ウォッチングできるデッキに移動しました。
デッキや船内は３階建ての大型船のおかげで風が強く波立っていましたが思ったより揺れませんでした。
鯨が潮を吹きながら頭を出した際は歓声が上がり、言葉を超えてみんなで盛り上がりました。鯨を目の当たりにできたのはとても感動です。
私のように片言英語しかわからない状態でもなんとか大丈夫だと思います。
とても楽しい体験ができました。

I was able to see whales.

It all depends on the whales and luck, but I was able to see them jumping in the distance and swimming nearby.

If I have the opportunity, I would like to participate again.

クジラを見ることができました。

全てはクジラ次第で時の運ですが、遠くでジャンプ姿、近くで泳ぐ姿を確認でした。

機会があればまた参加したいです。

We were blessed with clear weather and boarded the boat with the guarantee of seeing whales, but all we caught a glimpse of was a faint black object in the distance, and we couldn't tell if it was a whale or not... However, we did encounter a pod of dolphins! It seems that we still get to say we "saw" something. Since it's nature, it can't be helped, but I recommend participating with the mindset of "it would be lucky if we see something" rather than having too high expectations.

晴天に恵まれ、クジラが見られる保証付きということで期待して乗船しましたが、遠くの方に微かに黒い物体がチラッと見えただけでクジラかどうかも分からず…その代わりにイルカの群れに遭遇することはできましたが！
それでも一応は「見えた」という扱いになってしまうようです。自然のことなので仕方ないですが、期待し過ぎず「見えたらラッキー」くらいの気持ちで参加することをお勧めします。

It was a two-hour cruise, and we encountered whales. I was a bit surprised because it was not far out at sea, and we could see the hotels in Waikiki. We saw a mother and baby whale, and the baby seemed to be practicing various things, surfacing and diving repeatedly. The mother whale appeared to be swimming alongside, and it was very heartwarming to watch. It was wonderful! ♬

２時間ほどのクルーズでしたが、クジラに出会えました。
そう遠い沖ではなくワイキキのホテル群が見えるようなところだったので、少し驚きました。
出会ったのは親子のクジラで子クジラが色々と練習しているようで何度も何度も顔を出しては潜っていました。お母さんクジラは伴走しているようでとても微笑ましく見入ってしまいました。よかったです♬

Yes, I was actually brought to tears by seeing these amazing animals so close. I unfortunately didn't get any photos of the whales themselves because I was so mesmerized by them. This Majestic whale watch cruise did a great job of spotting whales and getting closer to them (but not too close). We were able to have amazing sightings of these graceful creatures, even though weather and ocean conditions weren't ideal. I'd do this every single day if I could!

I was very moved to be able to easily interact with dolphins.
We participated as a family of four, and each of us was satisfied.
I definitely want to experience it again.
We are also grateful to the bus driver for their attentive service.
Thanks to the driver's support, our trip to Hawaii became even more wonderful.
Thank you.

イルカに実際に手軽に触れ合えてとても感動しました。
家族4人での参加でしたがそれぞれに満足できました。
また是非体験してみたいと思いました。
またチャーターのバスの運転手様の親身な対応に家族4人で感謝しております。
運転手様の対応でハワイ旅行がさらに素晴らしいものになりました。
ありがとうございます。

The conditions on the day were poor, but I was able to see it about three times.

When you go out on the deck, there are considerable waves and sudden rain, so it's a good idea to wear something that can get wet or bring a towel.

If you have binoculars, that would be great.

Onboard, soft drinks and coffee are available for $4, and alcohol (Budweiser, wine, etc.) can be purchased for $8.

It is also possible to change to a breakfast option later, which costs $15 for adults and $9 for children.

Since the pickup is early in the morning, it can be chilly. The outside of the boat is also cold, so it's advisable to bring a long-sleeve shirt.

The wind is strong, so it's a good idea to put your hat in your bag to prevent it from blowing away.

当日のコンディションが悪かったが、約3回は見る事が出来た。

デッキに出ると、かなりの波と突然の雨があるので、濡れてもよい格好かタオルなどを用意して行くと良い。

持っていれば、双眼鏡があると良い。

船内では、ソフトドリンクとコーヒーが＄４、アルコール(バドワイザー、ワインなど)が＄８で飲むことが出来る。

後から朝食付きへの変更も可能で、大人は＄１５、子供は＄９で利用出来る。

早朝に送迎なので、肌寒い。
船外も寒いので、長袖を用意すると良い。

風が強く、帽子は飛ばされやすいので、バッグにしまうと良い。

I made a reservation to see the whales that can only be seen during this season! Honestly, after reading the reviews, I was a bit anxious because it seemed like there were days when they appeared and days when they didn't, almost a 50/50 chance.
However, on this day, we were able to see many whales, and the announcements in Japanese were clear, so we could spot them right away!
The weather was also nice, and we could enjoy the view of the town from the sea, making it a pleasant cruise overall!
Since I opted for the shuttle service, I was able to board the boat with priority, which was great! There were plenty of buses on the way back, but since I received a sticker on the way there, I was able to get on the return bus without any confusion!

この時期にしか見られないというクジラを見るために予約しました！正直口コミを見ていると、現れる日もあれば、現れない日もあるようでちょうど半々な感じで不安でした。
ですが、この日はたくさんクジラを見ることができ、日本語でのアナウンスもわかりやすかったため、すぐに見つけることができました！
また天気も良く、街並みも海から眺めることができたので普通にクルーズとしても気持ちよかったです！
送迎付きにしていたため、船にも優先的に乗ることができたのもよかったです！帰りもたくさんバスがありましたが、行きにシールをもらっていたので迷うことなく帰りのバスにも乗ることができました！

We enjoyed a cruise with our family. We were very satisfied as we were able to see whales multiple times within the allotted time. The shuttle service was also clear and timely, which was great.

家族でクルーズ船に乗って楽しませていただきました。時間内に何度も鯨を見る事が出来てとても満足です。送迎車も時間内でわかりやすく良かったです。

Boat was nice and lots of room. Found a mom and baby whale and the captain did a good job of keeping us jn the right spot.

The morning meeting time was just right, and we were able to do the zipline option in the afternoon. The boat was large, so I didn't get seasick, which made it really enjoyable! I didn't see the big whale I was hoping for, but I did see a baby whale. Next time, I want to participate again hoping to see a big adult whale!

朝の集合時間も丁度よくて、午後からジップラインのオプションも行けたし、
船も大きくて船酔いしなかったのでとっても楽しめました～
期待してた大きいクジラは見れなかったけど、子供クジラは見れました
次は大きな大人クジラを期待して参加したいです！

I was able to see one blow, but I couldn't confirm anything else. I heard that two days before my experience, a relative who went on the same tour saw a mother whale and her calf, and they saw many blows and jumps, so I wonder if it varies by day. I hope to see more if I go again someday!

1回潮吹きが見れましたがそれ以外確認できませんでした、、体験2日前に親族が同じツアーに行った際はクジラの親子がいて潮吹き、ジャンプがたくさん見れたと聞いていたので日によるのかな、、またいつか行く時は見れればなと思います！

I was thrilled when I saw two whales swimming and spouting water just when I thought I wouldn't see any more whales towards the end of the tour.

ツアー終盤でもう鯨は見れないかと思ったときに、2頭の鯨が潮を噴きながら泳ぐ姿を見たときは感激しました。

I thought it would be difficult to see whales, but we were able to see them quite easily! It was a great experience with my child. I believe it will be a memorable cruise.

クジラはなかなか見れないのかなと思ってましたが、普通に見れました！
子供と一緒にいい体験が出来ました。記憶に残るクルーズになると思います。

I was a bit anxious because of the rain and wind, and I could feel the boat swaying, but I was able to see the tail fin and the back, as well as the spinning movements that I had seen in videos. I was really happy to capture the tail fin flapping on video while I was prepared to film! If the weather had been nice, I would have wanted to go outside to see, but since it was raining this time, I watched from indoors. However, it was still visible from inside, so the rain wasn't too much of a concern. In that sense, it was a fun activity even in rainy weather, so I was glad. I would like to go again when I visit in winter!

雨で風もあり少し船の揺れを感じていたのでどうなるかなと不安でしたが、なんども尾びれや、背中、動画などで見るようなばしゃんと回転するような姿もみれ、少し構えて動画撮影したいたら尾びれバタバタが撮られていてとても嬉しかったです！天気だったら外に出て見たかったですが、今回は雨だったので室内から見ました。でも、室内からでもみられるため雨でもそこまで気になりませんでした。そういう意味では雨天でも楽しめるアクティビティでしたので良かったです。また、冬にいくときは行きたいと思います！

I was able to see it right after we set out, and I got to see it many more times after that! It was amazing that it showed up again just when we were about to return to the port! It was also fun to see everyone moving along with the captain's announcements about the direction!

出向してすぐに見れてその後も何度も見れました！最後もう港に戻ると言う時にも姿を見せてくれて最高でした！キャプテンの何時の方向というアナウンスと共に皆んなが移動するのも楽しかったです！

This tour was amazing.
I participated with a friend and had my first experience with an underwater scooter.
The sea was so clear that I could see the sand from the boat, and I could also see fish swimming.

I wasn't quite sure how to operate the scooter during the sea floor walk, but the instructor was pushing down on the handlebars, so it was fine to keep my hands inside the helmet.

I imagined there would be a variety of colorful fish swimming around, but only the same fish kept coming close, so I look forward to next time.

It felt warm inside the helmet, but the water was cold.
When we were signaled to dive deeper, my ears popped!
There was a signal to pinch my nose through the helmet.
I recommend pinching your nose and exhaling right away. I ended up with ear pain later, so I wish I had done it more frequently.

Those who wanted to could borrow a wetsuit for free, but it was damp and cold.

After the underwater scooter experience, we had free time.
There were snorkels, goggles, fins, and life jackets available for us to use freely.

I thought we would experience snorkeling in shallow water, so it took some courage to enter the deep sea from the boat for my first snorkeling and fin experience, but since I was wearing a life jacket, I wouldn't sink, so I boldly jumped in.

Snorkeling was fun!
With the fins, I could move quickly and discovered three sea turtles on the sea floor.
When we drifted away from the boat, we were gestured to head towards the shore.
I wish I had brought an underwater camera; it was a shame I couldn't take pictures of the sea turtles.

Since there were many people, the snorkeling time was long.
Just floating in the water was enjoyable.
It was really cold on the boat, so having a larger towel or something to wear would be good.
We were free to eat chips and drink water.

They took photos and videos of us with the underwater scooter, and they showed us the photos on the boat.
Maybe because we were buying together, they gave us a discount on the video as well.

Payment is made on the boat.
When we got off, there was a guy with a tip box.

The photos will be sent via email (link) after 5 PM on the day of the tour, but I could only see some of the photos from my phone.
The videos can only be viewed from a computer.
The download deadline is two weeks.

このツアー最高でした。
友人と参加しました。水中スクーター初体験。
船から覗く海も砂が見えるくらい透明度があり
魚が泳いでるのも見えます。

海底散歩でスクーター操作はいまいちわからず
ハンドルを握る上からインストラクターさんが押してたので
手をヘルメットの中に入れていても大丈夫でした。

色とりどりの魚が泳いでるイメージでしたが、
同じ魚ばかり寄ってきたので、次回に期待です。

ヘルメットの中は温かく感じられ、海の中は寒かったです。
深いところに潜るよという合図で、耳がキーン！
ヘルメット越しに鼻をつかむ合図があります。
すぐに鼻をつまんで息を吐く様にする事をお勧めします。
あとから耳が痛くなったので、こまめにしておけば良かったな。

ウエットスーツは上半身だけ希望者は無料で借りれました。
生乾きだったので冷たかったです。

水中スクーター体験が終わると、自由時間。
シュノーケル＆ゴーグル、フィンと救命胴着が
置いてあるので自由に装着し、自由に遊べます。

浅瀬で、シュノーケル体験すると思っていたので、
初シュノーケル＆フィンで船から深い海に入るのは最初勇気が
いりましたが、救命胴着をきているので沈まないので、
思い切って海に入りました。

シュノーケル楽しい！
フィンもあるから移動も早く海底にいる
ウミガメ3匹発見。
船から外れるとジェスチャーで岸側の方向へ行ってと指示がありました。
水中カメラ持ってくればよかったな。ウミガメ撮影出来ず残念。

人数が多かったのでシュノーケル時間が長かったです。
海の中をただ浮いているのも楽しかったです。
船の上は、とにかく寒い。大きめのタオルや着るものがあるといい。
ポテチとお水は自由に食べて飲んでOKでした。

水中スクーターの写真と動画を撮影してくださり、
写真と動画は、船の中で撮影写真を見せてくれました。
友人とまとめてだったからなのか、
動画も買うとディスカウントしてくれました。

お金は、船でお支払いします。
降りるとき、チップボックスを持ったお兄さんがいました。

写真は、当日の17時以降からメール（リンク）に送られますが、
携帯からは一部の写真しか見れませんでした。
パソコンからでないと動画はみれません。
ダウンロード期限は2週間でした。

I never thought I would enter the ocean since I can't swim, but I participated somewhat reluctantly with my friends. The person who picked us up only spoke English, but they were very nice. When we arrived, about 12 other people were already waiting. There was also a fourth-generation Japanese person who spoke Japanese, which was reassuring.

The bench in the morning shade was cold, and it was chilly in light clothing. The boat with the underwater scooters departed first, and then the participants boarded another boat to set off. There was a Japanese explanation of the underwater movements on the boat, which made me feel at ease. There was also an English explanation, but I couldn't understand it at all.

While waiting, we were free to eat snacks, but the bread next to us was fish food, so we couldn't eat that. My friend unknowingly ate some and said it was delicious.

Finally, it was my turn, and as I descended the ladder, I was scared and had a hard time getting into the water. I was called a chicken, but I managed to get in. I straddled the underwater bike, and the instructor operated the handlebars. When I threw the bait, the fish came close, which was fun. While taking photos, the instructor made a ring of air to entertain us.

Getting back on the boat was scary because I had to dive into the water, but the instructor supported me, and I was able to get back up safely. It was a once-in-a-lifetime memory.

泳げない私が海の中に入るなんてありえないと思っていましたが、
仲間と一緒に半強制的に参加しました。
ピックアップしてくれた方は、英語のみでしたが感じの良い方で
私たち以外にもピックアップして現地に着くと12人くらいがすでに
待っていました。日本語を話せる日系四世の方もいて安心でした。
朝の日陰のベンチは寒くて、薄着では寒かったです。
水中スクーターを乗せた船が先に出発、
そのあと参加者が別船に乗船し出発。
船の中で日本語で水中の中の動作等説明があり安心でした。
英語の説明もありますが全く分かりませんでした。
待っている間、お菓子は自由に食べていいのですが、
隣にあるパンは魚のえさですので食べてはいけません。
友達は知らずに食べてました。おいしかったとの事。。
いよいよ、順番がまわってきてラダーを降りていくも
怖くてなかなか海に入れず、チキン呼ばわりもされましたが
なんとか入ることができました。
水中バイクにまたがり、ハンドルはインストラクターが操作してくれました。
まき餌を振ると魚が寄ってきて楽しいです。
写真撮影をしてるときインストラクターが空気の輪っかを作って
楽しませてくれました。
船に上がるときは、海に潜るので怖かったですがインストラクターが
サポートしてくれ無事にあがることが出来ました。
一生に一度の思い出です。
