I made a reservation before my trip because I really wanted to ride this catamaran that I saw in Waikiki before. The cruising experience was just as pleasant as I expected, but I was a bit disappointed that there was no sailing.
However, the wind, sea, and sun made it absolutely wonderful.
以前ワイキキで見た、このカタマラン、今回は是非乗って見たいと出発前から予約しました。
予想通り気持ちのいいクルージングでしたが、一点、セイリングが無かったのが残念でした。
でも、風と海と太陽と、気持ち良さは最高。

We enjoyed the event. Our driver Patrick was very pleasant and knowledgeable. For the price you can’t go wrong! I would recommend for those that want to experience Pearl Harbor and Honolulu in an efficient yet enjoyable way.
The day after the wedding, eight family members from both sides (ages 21 to 65) participated. The weather was nice, and we enjoyed walking slowly along the sandbar together. We took a lot of photos, and the staff were kind and helpful, which we appreciated.
For snorkeling, we were told we would swim in a spot where our feet wouldn't touch the bottom for 20 minutes. Since both mothers from each family were not confident, I decided to stay back as well. However, we were able to rent a boat and snorkel in shallower areas, which was a lot of fun. We even got to swim with sea turtles in the shallow water! By the way, my 65-year-old father really enjoyed snorkeling too (laughs).
The BBQ lunch was buffet-style, and the meat was tastier than I expected! There were also desserts. The staff were attentive and asked if we wanted more juice, which made us very satisfied!
結婚式翌日、両家の家族8人（21～65歳）で参加しました。
天気もよく、サンドバーをゆっくりみんなで歩いて楽しかったです。写真もたくさん撮っていただいて、スタッフのみなさんも優しくてありがたかったです。
シュノーケリングは20分間足がつかない場所で泳ぐとのことで、両家の母親が自信がないと残ったので私も残ったのですが、ボートの貸し出しや浅い場所でのシュノーケリングをさせていただき、とても楽しかったです。浅いところでもしっかりウミガメと泳げました！ちなみに65歳の父はしっかりシュノーケリング楽しめたそうです₍笑₎
BBQランチはビュッフェスタイルですが、お肉が思ったよりおいしかったです！デザートもありました。ジュースのおかわりもスタッフの方が気を遣って聞いてくれたりして大満足でした！
Aloha! Congratulations on your wedding. Thank you very much for having everyone from both families participate.
You were able to swim with the sea turtles, huh? We look forward to the day we can meet again, along with the sea turtles.
アロハ！ご結婚おめでとうございます。両家の皆様でご参加頂き本当にありがとうございました。
ウミガメとも泳げたんですね。また皆様にお会い出来る日をウミガメとともにお待ちしております。

We encountered a sea lion. It was a lucky sighting unique to nature, and the whole family enjoyed it. The pod of dolphins was very impressive and really exciting.

The crew were friendly and incredibly accommodating both on the boat and in the water. The guides were great at pointing out the sealife on the reef while we snorkeled. The sea turtles were everywhere! Wonderful trip and well worth the money.
the staff was awesome, had a great time at the sandbar and snorkeling. this was such a unique experience.
There were four pairs participating in a small boat (I was in the first group). I took motion sickness medication, but I still felt a bit seasick. Of course, the scenery was outstanding, and we went higher than I expected, but since we were on the sea, it wasn't too scary (looking down was a bit frightening). There were a few times when the wind picked up, providing a thrill that made me shout. The crew spoke a little Japanese (just a few words), but they were cheerful and friendly.
小さな船でペア4組参加でした。（一番手で体験）
酔い止め飲んでいったけど少し船酔いした。
当然景色は抜群、思ったより高いところまで上がったけど、
海上なのでそれほど恐怖はなし。（下を見るとさすがに少し怖い）
数回風にあおられ、声が出るぐらいのスリルはありました。
クルーは片言の日本語（単語程度）でしたが、陽気に盛り上げてくれましたし、親切でした。

I've always wanted to try skydiving. Since it had been 20 years since my last visit to Hawaii, I was looking forward to it for six months. On the day of the experience, the instructions were only in English, which was honestly difficult for me since I only speak Japanese, but the instructor's careful gestures helped me grasp the essential points. I definitely want to try skydiving again on my next trip.
ずっと体験してみたかったスカイダイビング。
20年ぶりのハワイということもあり、半年前から楽しみでした。
体験当日は、説明は英語のみで、日本語しか話せない自分にとっては正直分かりませんでしたが、インストラクターの方の丁寧なジェスチャーで最低限の要点はおさえることがでました。
次回の旅行も、スカイダイビングを絶対やりたいと思います。

Due to bad weather, we had to change the date to the next day and ended up jumping from a lower altitude than planned, but despite that, it became a fun and great memory! The driver who guided us was funny and a nice person, and the instructor who jumped with us was also very energetic and enjoyable!
悪天候で日にちを次の日へ変更したり、高さが予定よりも低い位置から飛ぶことになってしまいましたが、それを踏まえても楽しい良い思い出になりました！
案内してくれるドライバーさんも面白くて良い人でしたし一緒に飛んでくれたインストラクターの方もテンション高めの楽しい人でした！

I participated with my wife and our 5-year-old child, making a total of three of us! Our child sat in the middle of the front row, my wife on the right, and I sat behind them. Due to the balance, it seems that changing seats is difficult.
On the day of the event, we went directly to the site by rental car since we were staying in the Ko Olina area. Shuttle service is only available from Honolulu, so if you're coming from other areas, you'll need to use a taxi or rental car.
I was worried that our child might be scared, but since we were in the middle seat, there were no issues. It was indeed very cold during the flight, so measures are necessary. We brought ultra-light down jackets, but my wife still looked cold.
As long as your camera has a strap, it’s fine! The staff lent us a mobile holder for free, but it’s the type that goes in a waterproof bag, which distorts the images from your mobile camera. If possible, I recommend purchasing a wrist strap in advance.
Perhaps because we booked through VERTRA, a brother who speaks fluent Japanese was our pilot! It was a lot of fun, and my wife and child, who don’t speak English, also enjoyed it! I heard that my wife is Japanese!
The staff were very friendly, and we had a great time throughout. The view from the helicopter was truly spectacular, and it was definitely the right choice to go without doors!
One thing, though... my wife gets motion sickness and ended up feeling ill during the flight, which caused a lot of trouble for the staff. I recommend that those who are prone to motion sickness do some research and take precautions before flying. Also, the wind is very strong and cold, so please make sure to prepare for that!
Despite the above, it’s an incredibly moving experience that is worth taking!
5歳の子供と妻と計3人で参加致しました！！
前の席の真ん中に子供、右側に妻後ろに私が座る形となりました。バランスの関係で座席変更は難しいみたいです。
当日はコオリナ地区に宿泊していた為レンタカーにて直接現地入りしました。送迎はホノルルからしかない為、他の地区からはタクシーやレンタカーでの移動となります。
当日は子供が怖がらないか心配でしたが真ん中席だった為問題なし、フライト中はやはり非常に寒い為対策が必要です。我々はウルトラライトダウンを持参しましたが妻はそれでも寒そうでした。
カメラはストラップが付いていればOK！携帯用のホルダーはタダでスタッフの方々が貸してくれましたが水中でも使えるようなビニールに入れるタイプなのでせっかくの携帯カメラの画像が歪んでしまいます。可能なら事前に手首につかれるハンドストラップを購入をお勧めします。
こちらのVERTRAからの予約だったからか日本語ペラペラのお兄さんがパイロットを担当してくれました！
とても楽しく、英語が話せない妻と子供も楽しめました！！奥さんが日本人なんだとか！
スタッフの方々は非常にフレンドリーで終始楽しい時間を過ごせました。ヘリコプターからの景色は本当に絶景でやはりこちらのドアなしで正解でした！！
一つだけ、、、妻が乗り物に弱く、途中酔ってしまいスタッフの皆さんに大変ご迷惑をおかけしました、、、。乗り物に弱い方は少し検証、対策をしてからのフライトをお勧めします。また風は非常に強く寒いのでこちらの対策をしっかりして下さい！！
上記の事があっても乗る価値のある非常に感動の体験です！！

I had wanted to go skydiving for a long time, but I never had the chance until this trip to Hawaii, which I was looking forward to the most.
On this day, I boarded the first Cessna and went diving. I didn't feel scared at all (though it may vary from person to person). While ascending, I looked for whales in the ocean (they can sometimes be seen from December to April). As the Cessna slowed down and I felt a gentle floating sensation, the instructor pushed me out of the plane, making the exit feel natural and pleasant.
Once outside, I experienced an incredible feeling unlike anything I had ever felt before.
The only downside was that the wind was strong that day, and we didn't reach our target altitude. Of course, I didn't realize this until I was refunded, which was a bit disappointing.
If I have the opportunity to go skydiving again in the future, I would love to do it as many times as possible, and I hope that one day I can jump on my own.
前々からスカイダイビングしたいとは思っていたものの中々できるチャンスがなく、今回のハワイ旅行ではこれを一番楽しみにしていました。
この日1地番初めのセスナに乗りダイビングしました、一切怖いという感じはせず（人それぞれでしょうが）上昇中は海中にクジラを探し（12月から4月までは見れることもあるそうです）セスナのスピードが緩みふわっとした感じの中インストラクターに背中を押されて機外に出るので出るときも自然な感じで気持ちよかったです。
外に出た後はただただ、今までに経験したことのない気持ちいい体験をすることができました。
ただ残念なのは当日風が強く目標の高度に到達しませんでした。
もちろんそんなことは自分で気づくはずもなく、返金されて初めて気づいたのですがちょっとがっかり。
これから先もスカイダイビングできる機会があれば何度でもしたいし、いつか自分で飛べる日が来たらいいなと思いました。

The wind was strong, and I felt more fear than I expected, but it was a wonderful experience! It was the ultimate activity that provided a sense of relief when I came down, experiencing a fear that I don't usually encounter!

It was my first time swimming with dolphins, and it was truly amazing!
The weather on the day of participation was cloudy, and it had just rained, making the temperature quite low, which wasn't ideal.
I knew very well that since they are wild animals, the chance of seeing them is not 100%, so I was quite anxious... but!
I was able to see many dolphins, and I was genuinely moved!
I thought I wouldn't be able to get too close since you're not supposed to chase them, and I hoped to see them from a distance, but unexpectedly, I got to see them up close and was super excited!
When I dove a little, I felt like I could reach out and touch them—how could they be so close?!
After the dolphin swim, I went snorkeling and saw small fish and a sea turtle.
Unlike dolphins, the sea turtle swam while being rocked by the waves, so even though I knew I shouldn't touch it, I felt a bit nervous when it came close to me. (laughs)
I probably didn't swim for very long during the dolphin swim or snorkeling, but it did take quite a bit of energy.
So, the cheeseburger made by the captain tasted even better.
The crew members were all very nice, and it seemed like they were keeping a close eye on those who were anxious about swimming or their stamina.
The photos taken by the photographer can be purchased separately.
Before the dolphin swim, there was an explanation, and the guide, Musashi, said,
"You are free to take photos with your own camera, but don't get too caught up in taking pictures. See the dolphins with your own eyes! You can also purchase photos from the photographer."
At that moment, I thought, "They just want to sell photos..." (sorry about that), but those words are true!
I believe you should definitely see the wild dolphins with your own eyes and imprint that memory.
At the end, there was even a discussion about environmental considerations for the dolphins, which really touched me.
It made me think about starting small eco-friendly practices so that dolphin swim tours can continue for a long time.
One thing I was concerned about was that the day of participation coincided with the Honolulu Half Marathon, which caused traffic restrictions, and the pickup took over an hour.
Since we were the first pickup, we spent quite a long time on the bus. (laughs)
The guides worked hard to manage the situation, and in the end, we got to see the dolphins without any complaints, but I think the marathon wasn't something that was decided yesterday or today, so it would have been even better if some measures could have been taken!
人生初のドルフィンスイムでしたが、本当に最高でした！
参加日は曇り、ついさっきまで雨が降っていて気温も低めというあまり良くないコンディション。
野生の生き物なので見れる確率は100%ではないのは重々承知の上参加していますがとても不安…でしたが！
沢山のイルカを見る事が出来て本当に本当に感動しました！
イルカは追いかけてはいけないし、あまり近くにより過ぎる事もないだろうから遠目に見れたら良いな…と思っていたのですが、予想外に近くで見れて大興奮！
ちょっと潜水したら手が届きそうでこんなにも近くで見れるの！？と思いました。
ドルフィンスイム後のシュノーケリングでは小さい魚やウミガメを見ました。
ウミガメはイルカと違い波に揺られながら泳いでいるので触れてはいけない…とわかっていてもウミガメの方から近付いてきてヒヤヒヤしました。笑
ドルフィンスイムもシュノーケリングも恐らくそんなに長くやっていないのですが、結構体力使います。
なのでキャプテンが作ってくれるチーズバーガーがより美味しく感じました。
クルーの皆さんはとても良い方ばかりで、泳ぎや体力に不安がある方はきちんと見ていてくれているようでした。
カメラマンさんが撮ってくれた写真は別途有料で購入出来ます。
ドルフィンスイム前に説明があるのですが、ガイドのムサシさんが
「自分のカメラで写真を撮るのは自由ですが、写真を撮る事にとらわれ過ぎないで。自分の目でイルカを見て！写真はカメラマンからも購入出来ます。」
と仰っていて、この時は「写真を買わせようとしているな…」と思っていましたが(すみません)
この言葉は本当です！
野生のイルカ、絶対自分の目でしっかり見て焼き付けるべきだと思います。
最後はイルカの為に環境配慮の話しまであり、ジーンとしました。
いつまでもドルフィンスイムツアーが可能なよう、自分も小さな事からエコを始めようと考えさせられました。
一つ気になったのは参加日がホノルルハーフマラソン当日で交通規制がかかりピックアップのみで１時間超えだった事。
私達は一番最初のピックアップだったので結構長い間バスに乗りました。笑
ガイドさん達も一生懸命対処してくださりましたし、結果的にイルカも見れて文句無し、ですがマラソン自体は昨日今日決まった事ではないと思うので、何かしらの対策を講じる事が出来ていたら更に良かったのかな！？と思います！
Aloha Torachan,
Thank you for participating in the prestigious Dolphin University. We also apologize for any inconvenience caused by the traffic regulations during the Honolulu Half Marathon.

I traveled to Hawaii without deciding what to do and made reservations on-site. I booked the Segway and Kualoa Ranch by phone, but it was inconvenient without a local number. However, with Veltra, everything was done via email and in Japanese, which was super convenient...!!!
On Saturday morning, I wanted to go to the farmers' market featured in the manga "Chatterbox After Breakfast," so I reserved the afternoon barbecue lunch option.
Basically, wearing a swimsuit is fine. I wore a bikini-style swimsuit that looked almost like clothes, along with a cover-up and a T-shirt, and most people around me were dressed similarly.
Depending on the weather, the day I went was not great, and it was really cold. I passed by the morning group at the dock, and everyone looked cold, but aside from that, it was really good.
- The barbecue lunch was a buffet style on the boat, and surprisingly delicious.
- I encountered a sea turtle. It came close to the boat as if the captain was keeping it. It swam right next to us.
- The snorkeling was fun with high visibility.
- For those who want to try stand-up paddleboarding, it's available! I didn't do it, but I regretted not trying.
- Hot coffee and tea were also available.
- Photos can be downloaded from the web later.
They also lend wetsuits for free to those who want them. Onboard, they sell waterproof disposable cameras, beach shoes, rash guards, T-shirts, and anti-nausea bands. The prices aren't excessively high compared to the market, so it might be worth buying. They also offer rentals for waterproof digital cameras.
What I was glad I brought was a waterproof case for my phone. Depending on the time and season, the day I went had quite a bit of water, and there weren't any beautiful dry sandy beaches like in the guidebooks. The water level was consistently around chest to shoulder height. A regular phone would definitely get submerged.
I brought a regular-sized towel, but a slightly larger one or even a bath towel would have been better since it was cold.
I want to try again on a nice day!
ハワイで、なにをするかも決めずにバタバタと渡航して、現地から予約。セグウェイとかクアロアランチは電話予約したのですが、現地の番号がないと不便でしたが、ベルトラからだとオールEメール、オール日本語でめっちゃ便利....!!!
土曜、午前中は、漫画「おしゃべりは朝ごはんのあとで」のハワイ編でも紹介されていたファーマーズマーケットへ行きたかったので、午後のバーベキューランチ付きの方を予約。
基本的に水着を着てけばオーケー。わたしはビキニタイプのほぼ洋服みたいな水着に、はおりもの＋Tシャツでいきましたが、周りもほとんど同じような感じです。
天候によりますが、わたしが行った日は天候に恵まれず、すごく寒かったです。。
船着場で午前便の人たちとすれ違ったのですが、皆さん寒そうでファンになりましたが、寒い、という以外はすごくよかったです。
-バーベキューランチは船上でビュッフェすたいるなんだけど、以外と美味しい。
-ウミガメ遭遇しました。キャプテンが飼ってるんじゃないかというくらい船に寄ってくる。リアルに横を泳ぐ。
-シュノーケルも透明度高くて楽しかった
-Supやりたい人は体験可能！これやらなかったんだけど、やればよかったと後悔。
-飲み物はホットのコーヒーとお茶もある
-写真は後日一枚、ウェブからダウンロード可能
ウェットスーツも希望者に無料で貸し出してくれます。
船上での販売物として、写ルンです(防水)、ビーチシューズ、ラッシュガード、Tシャツ、酔い止め防止バンドなどあります。相場より並外れて高いというほどではないので、購入してもいいかも。防水デジカメの貸し出しもあるそうです。
持って行ってよかったのは携帯の防水ケース。時間と時期によるのか、わたしが行った日はだいぶ水があって、ガイドブックに載ってるような干上がった美しい砂浜はなかったです。常に胸下から肩くらいまでの水位。普通の携帯なら確実に水没します。
タオルは普通サイズのタオルでいったんだけど、少し大きめか、いっそバスタオルがよかったかも。寒かったから。
天気いい時にリベンジしたい！
Aloha! Thank you for participating in the Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour.
Thank you for the very detailed report! I hope it will be helpful for everyone. We look forward to welcoming you back, Chiyoko! With the sea turtles!

We had a great morning at the ranch. My husband loves driving the raptor and it was great to see where all our favourite tv shows and movies were filmed. Even if you’re not a movie buff the scenery alone is worth the visit, an absolutely stunning place! Great guides too who make you feel very relaxed and make it great fun.
My family had a fantastic time! Thanks for an enjoyable experience. Seeing the dolphins was the highlight! We would do this again.
My husband and I went on a North shore / O'ahu tour a week ago with Aloha Island Expedition. We had a wonderful time and we got to see and experience a lot of unique sites throughout the day. It was the best day we've had in our 3-weeks visit to Hawai'i. Our guide was very friendly, thoughtful and knowledgeable and he really customized the day's activities based on our interests. He went out of his way to make sure that everything went smoothly and that we had the best time. We saw so much in 8-hours! Some of the highlights of our tour were: the Royal Mausoleum, the Green World coffee farms (such good coffee!), the many beaches along the North Shore, the Byodo-Inn temple, the Nu'uanu pali and (my personal favorite) the Ulupo heiau. Our lunch of Huli-Huli chicken and Garlic shrimp was also ono! There was nothing negative to say about the tour. It was all around wonderful. We would highly recommend it to anyone interested in seeing O'ahu in a more "authentic" light as well as people trying to see all that they can see in a day. We will definitively book another tour through Aloha Island Expedition the next time we come back to O'ahu. Mahalo nui, guys, for a job very well done!
I wondered if two hours would be too long, but it wasn't at all; before I knew it, the time had flown by as I became completely absorbed in the experience. Riding in such magnificent scenery, which you can't see in Japan, made me feel like an adventurer or an explorer.
Even though I can only speak a few words, the reception and the guide were friendly and accommodating, which made me feel at ease and enjoy the experience.
My wife's horse was lively and sometimes didn't listen, while my horse was timid and descended slowly but was obedient. It was fun to see the differences in their personalities.
2時間では長いかな？と思いましたがそんなことはなく夢中になっているうちに終わってしまっていました。日本では見られないような壮大な景色の中、体験する乗馬はまるで冒険家、探検家になったかのような気分でした。
単語しかしゃべれない私にも受付、ガイドの方ともに対応、愛想が良く安心して楽しめました。
また嫁の馬は活発で言うことを聞かない場面も。私の馬は臆病で下りはゆーっくり下る子だけど従順だったり性格に違いもみれるのも楽しかったです。

I had previously swum with wild dolphins on another tour, and the experience was unforgettable. This time, I wanted to try a different tour, so I joined the highly-rated and well-organized tour by the prestigious Dolphin University.
On the bus ride there, the guide shared not only knowledge about dolphins but also various stories about Hawaii, and before I knew it, we arrived at the port. The guides and crew members had a great rapport, and everyone was friendly, creating a wonderful atmosphere from start to finish.
Once we set sail, we quickly spotted wild dolphins! We could see them jumping from the boat, and I hurriedly got ready to jump in! A large pod of dolphins swam back and forth near us, and it felt like we were swimming together. I was truly moved. I think I swam quite hard for a significant amount of time, but I was so engrossed that I forgot all about the fatigue.
When I got back on the boat, the crew had prepared freshly made hamburgers for us. After that, we moved to a snorkeling spot, where we were able to see many fish. We even spotted swimming sea turtles, which was very satisfying!
We jumped off the boat into the sea, did some stand-up paddleboarding, and on the way back, we all danced the hula together. It was truly a packed and enjoyable experience from start to finish.
The next time I participate in a dolphin swimming tour, I would definitely like to use Dolphin University again!
以前他のツアーで野生のイルカと泳いだことがあり、その感動が忘れられず、今回は前回と違うツアーで参加してみたいと思い、評判もよく、内容も充実している名門イルカ大学さんのツアーに参加させていただきました。
行きのバスではガイドの方からイルカの知識だけでなく、ハワイに関するいろいろなお話も聞け、あっという間に港まで着きました。ガイドやクルーの方同士も仲が良く、皆さんフレンドリーで最初から最後までとても雰囲気がよかったです。
いざ出港してからは、本当にすぐに野生のイルカを発見！
船からも飛び跳ねるイルカの姿が見え、急いで準備をして飛び込みました！
たくさんのイルカの群れが何度も行ったり来たりで近くを泳いでくれ、真下を通ったり、一緒に泳いでいるような感覚で、本当に感動しました。結構な時間、しっかりハードに泳いだと思うのですが、そんな疲れを忘れてしまうくらい、夢中になってしまいました。
船に上がると、クルーの方がハンバーガーを作ってくれていて、できたてをいただきました。
その後はシュノーケルのスポットに移動したのですが、こちらもたくさんの魚を見ることができました。泳いでいるウミガメも見られ、大満足でした！
船からジャンプして海に飛び込んだり、SUPができたり、帰りはみんなでフラを踊ったり、本当に最初から最後まで盛りだくさんで楽しませていただきました。
またイルカと泳ぐツアーに参加する際は、名門イルカ大学さんを利用したいと思います！

The Japanese guide and all the staff were very cheerful and made the experience enjoyable! However, the weather was bad with rain and wind, and it was very cold, so we couldn't see any beautiful scenery at all... Everyone was shivering... It made me want to go home early. There's nothing we can do about the weather, though. This is part of the nature experience. Towards the end, they served us warm drinks, which was a relief. To be honest, I wish they had served them a bit earlier.

Following last year's Sandbar, I had an activity on Oahu that was even more enjoyable than I expected.
Above all, being able to see Waikiki town, the beach, and Diamond Head from the ocean was a rare experience, and it was thrilling to see dolphins swimming alongside the boat up close.
The taste of the Mai Tai I drank while being blown by the sea breeze on the boat was exceptional, and the lively movements of the cheerful crew made for a pleasant time.
I would appreciate it if the check-in location were a bit easier to find.
昨年のサンドバーに続く、オアフ島でのアクティビティーで、思っていた以上に楽しかったです。
何よりも海からワイキキの町、ビーチ、そしてダイアモンドヘッドが見られたのは中々できない体験であり、船と並行してイルカが泳いでいるのを間近に見れたのも大興奮でした。
船の上で潮風に吹かれながら飲んだマイタイの味も格別で、陽気なクルー達のキビキビした動きも心地よく、楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。

It was my first time on a submarine, and I had a great time. They had made arrangements to attract fish, so I was able to see a lot of them. Additionally, the divers who were there to observe the fish welcomed us with an aloha pose, which was very nice.
The guide provided commentary in Japanese while the boat was moving, but only offered an English guide inside the submarine. It seemed fun with jokes mixed in, so those who understand English might enjoy it even more. Unfortunately, since we don't understand English, we had to rely on headphones with a pre-recorded Japanese guide, but we still had a great time.
My husband was so captivated by the seabed that he didn't listen to the guide at all, but he still enjoyed it thoroughly. On the boat to the submarine, we were lucky enough to see a whale spouting, which was very satisfying. According to the local guide, there are times when you can also see sea turtles and dolphins.
There were emotions that couldn't be captured in photos, so I'm glad I participated.
はじめての潜水艦だったので、とても楽しかったです。
魚が集まるように工夫がされていて、沢山の魚を見る事ができました。また、魚を観察しに来ているダイバーも、アロハポーズでお迎えして下さり、とても良かったです。
ガイドは、船の移動中は、日本語でガイドをしていましたが、潜水艦の中では、英語ガイドのみでした。ジョーク交じりでたのしそうでしたので、英語がわかる方は、さらに楽しめそうです。
残念ながら、私達は英語がわからないため、ヘッドホンで、あらかじめ日本語で録音されているガイドでしたが、充分に楽しめました。
主人は、ガイドよりも海底に夢中で、全くガイドを聞いていませんでしたが、それでも充分楽しんでいました。
潜水艦までの船では、運良くクジラの潮吹きもみれて、大満足です。
現地のガイドによると、ウミガメや、イルカに会える時もあるそうです。
写真にはおさめられない感動がありましたので、参加して良かったと思います。

From Waikiki, it takes about an hour by bus to the port on the west side. The port only has restrooms without doors, and the boat is a 15-person capacity without a restroom, so it's best to change and, if possible, use the restroom beforehand. Towels are not provided, so you need to bring your own. I went on April 12, and it was quite cold. The water temperature was probably around 20-22 degrees Celsius.
Rash guards are available for free rental, but there are only three, and some are short-sleeved, so considering the low water temperature, I think it's better for women and those who get cold easily to bring their own. The water surface can be quite choppy, so it's easy to get seasick while snorkeling and watching the sharks.
The sharks are in deeper water, and since the camera focuses mainly on the lower section of the cage, I recommend that those who are confident in diving grab onto the lower section or the bottom of the cage to quietly observe (as long as you can hold your breath). This way, you’re less likely to get seasick.
The sharks are very calm and beautiful. The water is clear, so to avoid ruining your experience with seasickness, please make sure to take motion sickness medication. I don’t usually get seasick, but I took some just in case, and I didn’t experience any seasickness.
The optional video and photos are $75 per group.
ワイキキからは西側の港で1時間ぐらいバスで移動です。
港には扉の無いトイレしかないし、ボートは15人乗りのトイレなしなので、着替え、出来ればトイレも済ませていった方が良いです。
バスタオルも配布されないので、持っていく必要あります。私が行ったのは4月12日でしたが、けっこう寒かったです。たぶん水温は20~22度ぐらい？
ラッシュは無料でレンタルありますが、３枚だけで半袖のものもあったので、水温が低いことを考えると、女性や寒がりの男性は自前のものがあった方が良いと思います。
水面が結構揺れるので、シュノーケルでサメを見ていると酔いやすいです。
サメも深いところにいるし、カメラも檻の下段を中心に撮っているので、潜るのに自信がある人は、潜って檻の下段や底に掴まって、静かに眺めることができるのでお勧めです（息が続く限りですが）。また、その方が酔わないです。
サメはとてもおとなしく美しいです。水も澄んでいますので、船酔いで台無しにしないように、酔い止めはぜひ飲んでいってください。
私は船酔いしない人ですが、いちおう飲んでいき、船酔いはありませんでした。
オプションのビデオと写真は75ドル/1グループ。
