I participated with my 3-year-old son and my mother. I was a bit anxious about joining since my son was with me, but he ended up having a great time. We encountered a few rain showers, but the weather was generally nice, and the sandbar was shallow, with beautiful water.
Although my son and I didn't participate in snorkeling, we were happy because they lent us a boat while we waited, so we didn't get bored. We were able to see sea turtles several times, but it was hard for my son to spot them, and he said he couldn't see the turtles, which was a bit disappointing.
I would like to participate again when we go to Hawaii next time.
3歳の息子と母と参加しました。
息子が一緒だったので参加するまでは不安でしたが、かなり喜んでいました。何回かスコールにはあいましたが、それでも天気は良くサンドバーも膝下で海もきれいでした。
私と息子はシュノーケリングに参加しなかったのですが、待っている間ボートを貸してくれたため喜んでおり暇することもなかったです。
ウミガメは何度か見ることができましたが息子には分かりづらくカメ見えないと言っていたのが残念でした。
またハワイに行く際には参加したいと思います。

We had a blast! The captain and crew were wonderful and made sure everything was in place for a wonderful time. Everything from the location, weather, snorkeling tips, customer service and drinks contributed to all of us having a super day. We saw 8 to 10 turtles and much more marine life in two hours time. We even saw dolphins jumping high out of the water with Diamond Head in the background. Unfortunately they were so fast, I missed getting their pic. We will definitely take this trip again with this same outfit. Maybe the lunch or dinner trip. Can't wait to repeat!

Both my husband and 10 year old daughter thoroughly enjoyed the trip. Although I struggled with motion-sickness (while waiting for our turn to go down), once I was underwater, what an amazing experience that was!! My 10-year old who had to stand (she is just little above 4 feet) didn't mind that at all. She really enjoyed the experience, and begged us to go back again. So we will do this again when we visit Oahu next time. Not far from the shore, but the nature was just magnificent. The way nature and animals peacefully coexist with humans just catalyzed our Hawaii experience, and this adventure was well worth the cost! The staff was also very professional, and knowledgeable. Only if they cautioned us about motion sickness earlier on ;-)

We have a family of 7 and everyone was extremely excited to go. 3 of us had experienced the Snuba back in March. It was awesome that the crew remembered us. We were treated exceptionally well. The crew sat with those that were a bit apprehensive about the Snuba and created a relaxed atmosphere and worked with them and made it just as enjoyable for them. It was awesome! We have two 12 year olds and they did a wonderful job. We saw Dolphins, turtles and tons of fish. We would recommend this adventure to anyone and would gladly do it again and again. Hats off to the crew!!

As someone who is not good at swimming, I was nervous until it started, but the instructor explained everything in Japanese, allowing me to have this first experience. It felt like a different world when fish came to eat the bait from my hand and beautiful fish swam right in front of me. Since I participated with my child, we were able to walk along the ocean floor together, which was very considerate. I am thrilled to have had such a wonderful experience.
泳ぎが苦手な私は始まるまでドキドキでしたが、インストラクターの方が日本語でも説明してくれて初体験する事が出来ました。海中で魚が手元の餌を食べに来てくれたり目の前をきれいな魚が群れているのは別世界。親子での参加でしたので、気を利かして三人で並んで海底散歩出来ました。良い体験できて感激です

I participated with my five-year-old son. The staff were very friendly and entertaining. This is my third time participating, and every time, it's amazing to see my son’s skills improving. Thank you so much! We were able to see a sea turtle again this time (my five-year-old son was very excited, as he always is).
The lunch served on the boat was also very delicious! There were ham sandwiches, cookie potato chips, fruits, waffles, and salad—much more luxurious than I expected! We couldn't go snorkeling yet, so we stayed behind, but they lent us floaties and allowed us to play leisurely after snorkeling. They even provided a bodyboard for kids that lets you see underwater, and my son had a great time playing with it! Meanwhile, I enjoyed my lunch while watching them.
I highly recommend this! I believe families with small children can enjoy it thoroughly!
五歳の息子と二人で参加しました^^

The sandbar has shallow areas that are safe for children, and there are plenty of things for little ones to enjoy, like visits from sea turtles!

I was able to see sea turtles five times! The guide was also enjoyable! The tide was just right, and the water at the sandbar was about 20 cm deep, so I am very satisfied.
However, couples on their honeymoon should be cautious.
After arriving at the sandbar, we were made to take group photos. I was surprised to find myself waiting in line at the sandbar.
I rated it two stars, but overall, I would like to give it five stars; however, I had to rate it this way because I really disliked this particular point.
ウミガメは5回会えました!ガイドの人も楽しかったです!
潮の具合もよくサンドバーでは足元20cmぐらいの深さでしたので大変満足してます。
ですが、2人きりのハネムーナーの方は注意してください。
サンドバー到着後に団体ごとに集合写真を撮らされます。
サンドバーで行列に並ばされたことには驚きました。
星評価2にしてますが総合的には5をつけたいぐらいですが、
どうしてもこの点だけが嫌でしたのでつけました。

I wanted to see that beautiful heavenly sea once more, so this time I joined the morning tour. The sandbar had quite a bit of water up to my waist before high tide, and there were few fish for snorkeling, plus I didn't see any sea turtles... I think the early morning tour I took last time was better, even though it was a bit colder; the water level was lower, there were more fish, and I was able to see sea turtles, which was really moving! However, I thought the staff's service and Captain Bruce's meals were good.
もう1度あの美しい天国の海をみたくて今回は午前ツアーに参加しました。サンドバーも満潮前で割と腰迄水が有りシュノーケリングも魚は少なくホヌも見れず…前回の早朝ツアーの方が多少寒くても水位が低く魚も多くホヌもみれて感動したかな⁈でもスタッフの対応やキャプテンブルースの食事は良かったと思います。
Aloha! Thank you for joining the Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour. It's unfortunate that the sea turtles didn't appear... The activities at the sandbar are greatly influenced by nature, and the conditions vary daily due to weather and tides. We hope you can experience a special sandbar unique to that day! While we can't control the weather, we will continue to strive to ensure you have a wonderful time through our meals and communication with our staff. We pray for the best conditions next time, and we hope you'll come back to see that beautiful sandbar again!
アロハ!キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーにご参加頂きありがとうございます。ウミガメ、現れてくれなかったのですね・・・残念・・。サンドバーでのアクティビティは自然の影響がとても強く、コンディションもお天気や潮の満ち引きなどによって日々異なってまいりますが、その日だけの特別なサンドバーをお客様に体験していただければなぁと思っております!お天気には勝てませんが、お食事やスタッフとのコミュニケーションででお客様に楽しい時間を過ごしていただける様これからもがんばりますね。次こそは最高のコンディションであること祈って、もう一度あの美しいサンドバーをご覧にいらしてくださいね!

We did SNUBA with Cam and had a great time. The boat is beautiful and the crew are all really nice and fun to spend the time with. We also met lots of other nice people from around the world. Next time I think we would drive ourselves from Waikiki to Ko Olina just to give ourselves more flexibility. The shuttle was fine, but we wished we had driven ourselves. We didn't see any turtles, but we did see a big group of dolphins and lots of beautiful fish.

I checked the tide schedule carefully before making a reservation and decided that the morning of this day would be the best! I made the reservation three months in advance, so I was a bit anxious, but I was very satisfied to see a stunning sandbar. The staff took a lot of fun photos for us, thank you very much.
After arriving at the port from the bus, we were served some light snacks like bread. Lunch was also provided around the time for snorkeling, and both were fairly tasty.
I felt that snorkeling wasn't as free and playful as I had hoped, but I was really happy to swim alongside a baby sea turtle that passed by.
予約する前に潮の満ち引きをちゃんと調べてこの日の午前中がベスト!とみて予約しました。予約したのが3ヶ月前だったから不安でしたが見事ばっちりのサンドバーが見れて大満足です。スタッフの方が楽しい写真をたくさん取ってくれて、ありがとうございました。
バスから港に着いて、軽くパン等が出ました。シュノーケリングの頃合いで昼食もでました。どちらもまあまあ美味しかったです。
シュノーケリングはたくさん自由に遊べる感じではなかったので、こんなものかぁという感じは少しあったけど、ウミガメの子どもが近くを通りすぎて一緒に泳げて嬉しかったです。
Aloha! Thank you for joining the Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour. It looks like you checked the best days and made a reservation! The sandbar always shows its beautiful form unique to that day and time, but by checking the tides for your reservation, I believe you were able to encounter a sandbar that closely matched what you had envisioned.
It’s great to hear that a little turtle passed by you! I'm glad you got to interact with the friendly sea turtles at the sandbar! Please come back next time to enjoy the sandbar, meals, snorkeling, and many other fun activities in Paradise Ocean!

We participated as a couple on our honeymoon.
On the day we joined, as I had researched beforehand, the water was about waist-deep even in shallow areas, and it felt great to walk in the beautiful, clear sea under the blue sky. Regarding snorkeling, I can swim, but it was difficult to swim in the flowing sea without being able to touch the bottom. It was hard to breathe until I got used to the equipment, and I almost bumped into others while moving as a group, which posed a risk of drowning. I believe one should be aware of these risks before participating. I write this seriously, but if you think, "I can probably swim, so it should be fine," it might be better not to take the challenge lightly. After all, if an accident happens, it ruins the fun you were looking forward to. This sentiment was reflected in the staff's words when they explained snorkeling on the boat. Even though the atmosphere on the boat was relaxed throughout, it was tense during this explanation. However, that was reassuring. The staff provides solid support, so if you can swim, I encourage you to give it a try. Since sandbar walking comes before snorkeling, it might be a good idea to check your swimming ability lightly during that time.
At first, I struggled to breathe until I got the hang of it, and I felt a bit of fear, but as I got used to it, I was able to enjoy watching the corals and the fish swimming underwater. I brought an underwater camera, but it was difficult to take pictures of the fish while swimming. By the way, I brought a waterproof disposable camera from Japan, but they were also available for sale on the boat. Additionally, during sandbar walking, the staff took photos with a DSLR camera, and at the end, they offered prints for sale. If you have a waterproof camera, you can also hand it to the staff to take pictures for you.
The highlight of this tour, the BBQ lunch, was delicious, especially the chicken and chili beans, and I ended up going back for seconds. There was plenty prepared, so it seemed fine to go for seconds. The staff performed hula dancing, and while we were eating, a sea turtle unexpectedly approached the boat, creating a pleasant and enjoyable atmosphere. Since transportation to and from the hotel is included, you can participate in light clothing, just wearing a cover-up over your swimsuit. You only need to bring minimal items: a towel, sunscreen, a waterproof camera, and a little money (since there are photo sales). You take off your beach sandals before boarding the boat and place them in a container. I considered bringing reef shoes but ultimately decided against it. Most people went barefoot. If you have foot injuries or concerns about injuries, it might be worth considering bringing shoes. Perhaps because the water depth was significant and it wasn't a complete sandbar that day, walking barefoot didn't hurt at all. On the boat, you keep your belongings in a container under your seat. Since the container is shared, having a zippered plastic bag can be convenient. After snorkeling, you get quite cold, so a cover-up is essential.
If I have the chance to go to Hawaii again, I would definitely participate! This time, due to scheduling, it happened to be a day with deeper water, but next time, I want to walk on a beautifully exposed sandbar. And I hope to have the same cheerful and fun staff as this time. I became a big fan of staff member D, who looks like a complete foreigner but speaks fluent Japanese and is always joking! Thank you for the wonderful memories in Hawaii! Mahalo!
ハネムーンで夫婦2人で参加しました。
参加した日は事前に調べた通り、浅い所でも腰ぐらいの深さでしたが、とてもきれいな透き通った海と青空の中を歩けて気持ちよかったです。
シュノーリングについてですが
私は泳げないわけではないですが、足がつかず、しかも流れのある海の中を泳ぐのは難しかったです。
道具も慣れるまで呼吸がしにくかったり、集団で移動する為に周りの人とぶつかりそうになったりで、下手すれば溺れるおそれもあり
そのリスクを承知の上で参加すべきだと私は思いました。
あえてシリアスに書きますが、たぶん泳げるからたぶん大丈夫だろう…という感じなら安易に挑戦しない方が良いのかも知れません。
せっかく楽しみにして行っても事故が起こっては台無しですからね。
それは、船上でシュノーケリングについて説明をするスタッフの言葉にも表れていたのでしょう。
終始お気楽な雰囲気が流れていた船上でも、この説明の時だけはピリッとしていました。
でも、それが逆に心強かったです。しっかりスタッフがサポートしてくれるので、泳げる方であればぜひ挑戦してみてください。
シュノーケリングの前にサンドバーウォーキングなので、この時に自分は泳げるのか軽く泳いでチェックしておくと良いかも知れませんね。
はじめはコツをつかむまで呼吸がうまく出来ずちょっと恐怖心もありましたが
慣れてくるとサンゴや海中を泳ぐ魚をしっかり見て楽しむことができました。
水中カメラを持参したのですが、泳ぎながら魚を撮影するのは難しいですね。
ちなみに私は日本から防水の写ルンですを持参しましたが、船上でも販売していました。
また、サンドバーウォーキング中にスタッフが一眼レフカメラで撮影をしてくれ、最後にそれをプリントして販売もありました。
ちなみに防水機能つきカメラであればスタッフに渡して撮ってもらうことも可能です。
このツアーの目玉でもあるBBQランチはチキンとチリビーンズがとても美味しくおかわりしちゃいました。
かなりたっぷり用意してあるのでおかわりガツガツしても大丈夫そうでした。
スタッフがフラダンスを踊ってくれたり、食事をしてるといつの間にかウミガメが船に寄ってきていたり、和やかな雰囲気で楽しいひと時を過ごせました。
行き帰りホテルまでの送迎つきですので、水着の上に上着を羽織る程度の身軽な服装で参加可能です。
荷物も最小限、タオルと日焼け止め、防水カメラに少しのお金(写真の販売などもあるので)というくらいで大丈夫です。
ビーチサンダルは船に乗る前に脱いでまとめてコンテナに入れて置いていきます。
リーフシューズを用意しようかとちょっと迷いましたが結局持っていきませんでした。
ほとんどの方は裸足です。足にケガをしていたり、ケガの不安のある方は用意を検討しても良いかと思います。
この日は水深があり完全なサンドバーではなかったからかも知れませんが、裸足で歩いても痛いということはなかったです。
船上では荷物は席の下のコンテナに入れておきます。コンテナは共同で使うので、口の閉まるビニールバッグなどがあると便利です。
シュノーケリング後はかなり体が冷えるので上着は必須です。
またハワイに行く機会があれば絶対参加したいです!
今回はスケジュールの都合上、水深の深い日になってしまいましたが、今度はきれいに出現したサンドバーを歩きたいですね。
そしてその時もまた今回と同じ明るく楽しいスタッフで。
見た目は完全な外国人、でも日本語ペラペラでジョークばかりの陽気なスタッフDさん、大ファンになりました!
素敵なハワイでの思い出をありがとうございました!マハロ!

I was able to enjoy the beautiful coastal scenery, cruising, snorkeling, and dining. Unfortunately, we didn't see any dolphins. Since it's nature, there's nothing we can do about it, but I was really looking forward to seeing dolphins, so I was quite disappointed. There were no Japanese staff, but there was a funny staff member who spoke fluent Japanese and provided explanations, so I didn't have any issues. There was only one other group of Japanese participants besides us. It was a friendly and enjoyable cruising experience. Next time, I want to see dolphins!

I wanted to try riding a underwater scooter, so after considering various options, I decided to sign up for this tour. However, I was a bit anxious because it was going to be in English. I had seen a Japanese DVD explaining the underwater scooter, and one of the staff members was a fourth-generation Japanese woman, so I felt reassured as I could have normal conversations in Japanese and enjoyed myself.
You can breathe normally while using the underwater scooter, making it easy to enjoy the underwater world. A support diver is nearby to guide you towards the fish and sea turtles, and seeing a sea turtle swimming so close is truly an unknown world!
This experience will change your perspective on the world!
水中スクーターに乗ってみた〜い!と思いいろいろ検討した結果このツアーに参加申込。でも、英語での対応とのことでしたので少し不安がありました。水中スクーターについての説明は日本語のDVDで視れたことと、スタッフの一人は日系4世の女性で、普通の会話は日本語OKでしたので安心して楽しめました。
水中スクーターは普通に呼吸ができるので、手軽に海中の世界を楽しめます。サポートのダイバーが側にいて、魚や海亀のいる方向をガイドしてくれ、手の届く近さで海亀が泳いでいるのは正に未知の世界です!
この体験は世界観が変わりますよー!!

I participated with my wife and mother. Unfortunately, the weather was cloudy with occasional rain, which dampened our spirits a bit, but thanks to the staff's enthusiasm, we had a great time. First, the sea turtles were quite elusive, but finally, one appeared in the distance, and everyone was excited! We checked the tide schedule for the sandbar and arrived just as the tide was low enough to expose it to our ankles, allowing us to take photos in various poses. We walked about 100 meters from the boat to the sandbar, and since the water depth near the boat was about 80 cm, it seemed difficult for my 88-year-old mother to disembark and walk, so we decided to have her wait on the boat. My wife and I headed to the sandbar, but when we looked back towards the boat, we saw my mother being helped by two staff members as they brought her over. Thanks to them, my mother safely arrived at the sandbar and was very happy. I was moved by the kindness, thoughtfulness, and consideration of the staff. The sea, scenery, and the tour itself were wonderful, but the staff who supported it were also amazing.

なかなか現れませんでしたが、やっと一匹遠くに現れ、みんな大騒ぎ!でした。サンドバーは一番潮が引く時間を調べて参加したので、予定通り足首位いまで潮が引き、思い思いのポーズで写真を撮り合いました。船からサンドバーまで約100m位歩き、また下船するあたりの水深は80cm位あるので、88歳のの母親には下船し歩くのは無理そうでしたので、船で待ってもらう事し、家内と二人でサンドバーに向かいましたが、我々がサンドバー近くで船の方向を見ると、母親がスタッフ二人にに両脇を抱えられてこちらに向かってくるのが分かりました。お陰様で母親もサンドバーに無事到着し大変喜びでした。スタッフの方々の優しさ、思いやり、そして気配りに感動しました、海も風景も企画も素晴らしいツアーですが、それを支えるスタッフの皆さんも素晴らしい方々です。
Aloha! Thank you for joining the Captain Bruce's Paradise of the Sea Tour. We are truly glad that your entire family was able to enjoy the sandbar. It's great to hear that a sea turtle also showed up! We all look forward to welcoming you back again.
アロハ!キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーに参加いただきありがとうございました。ご家族皆様にサンドバーを楽しんでいただくことができ本当に良かったです。ウミガメも現れてくれたのですね!またのお越しを、スタッフ一同心よりおまちしております。

This was an incredible experience. This had to have been my favorite excursion that I have ever done in Hawaii. The staff was great and being able to purchase the video and pictures that you can watch over and over was wonderful. This is definitely one activity that I would do again.

This time, the weather wasn't great for the heavenly sea. The sandbar didn't appear, but perhaps it was because it was Captain Bruce's tour? I felt very satisfied. The meals served on the boat were more than enough. The staff were also kind, and next time, I definitely want to see the sandbar at low tide. I would like to choose Captain Bruce's tour again for that occasion.
天気に恵まなかった今回の天国の海でした。サンドバーも出なかったけど、キャプテンブルースのツアーだったからか?満足感いっぱいです。船の上で食べる食事にしては十分過ぎる程でした。スタッフの方々も親切で、次回こそは干潮時にサンドバーを必ず見たいなー。その時もキャプテンブルースのツアーにしたいと思います。
Aloha! Thank you for joining the Captain Bruce's Paradise of the Sea tour. Unfortunately, it seems the weather wasn't on our side... While we can't control the weather or the condition of the sandbar, we strive every day to ensure our guests are satisfied with our meals and the entertainment provided by our staff! We are very happy to hear that you were satisfied. We hope that next time, a different aspect of the sandbar will welcome you, so please come back again!
アロハ!キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーにご参加いただきありがとうございました。残念ながらお天気に恵まれなかったのですね・・・。お天気やサンドバーの状態は私達の力ではなんともなりませんが、お食事やスタッフのエンターテイメントなどできる限りのことでお客様に満足していただけれますよう日々がんばっております!ご満足していただいてとっても嬉しく思います。次回はまた違う表情のサンドバーが迎えてくれるはずですので、ぜひまたお越しくださいね!

Stand-up paddleboarding was more difficult than I expected due to the strong winds. There were three groups with two participants each, but we only had two paddleboards for six people, so I think it would have been better to have one more board.
The underwater scooter was easy to use, and I enjoyed the sea enough. I was very satisfied to see a turtle swimming nearby, hold a starfish, and have many fish come close to me.
When we got back on the boat, many people were exhausted from the cold and seasickness, and although I wanted to go snorkeling, I gave up. If there had been less wind, I think we could have enjoyed it more, but the weather is beyond our control.
I was anxious because I don't understand English, but Judy, who was a fourth-generation guide, was very friendly and kindly explained everything, so there were no issues at all.
スタンドアップパドルは、風が強すぎて、乗るのが思っていたより、難しかったです。2人参加で3組だったのですが、6人に2台のパドルだったので、もう一台あると良いと思いました。
水中スクーターは、耳抜きもすぐに出来て
十分海の中を楽しめました。カメが近くに泳いでいたり、ヒトデを持たせてくれたり、目の前にたくさんの魚が近寄って来てくれて、とても満足です。
船に上がると、皆んな寒さと船酔いで、ぐったりしている人が多く、シュノーケルもしたかったのですが、諦めました。
風が少なければ、もっと楽しめたのでしょうが、天候は仕方ないですね。
英語が分からないので不安でしたが、4世のジュディ?さんがとてもフレンドリーで親切に説明してくれたので、何の不都合もありませんでした。

I love the ocean. I love the sandbar.
Surrounded by a 360-degree emerald green sea under the blue sky, it truly felt like paradise. This is an activity you should definitely participate in when you go to Hawaii! The half-day went by in a flash, and I didn't want to leave. I was also moved when the turtles came right up close. I want to join again!
海大好き。サンドバー大好き。
青い空に360度エメラルドグリーンの海に囲まれたそこはまさに天国。ハワイに行ったら参加すべきアクティビティーです!半日があっという間で帰りたくなかったー。亀もすぐそこまで来て感動しました。また参加したいと思います。
Aloha! Thank you for joining the Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour.

I checked the low tide times online and signed up for the morning session. It was great that the sand was visible only in the morning. However, the wind was too strong, and it was really cold...
As for snorkeling, it seemed fine going out, but coming back required a lot of energy due to the wind, so I gave up on snorkeling since I wasn't confident in my swimming skills. The weather was bad, so I hope to try snorkeling next time when the weather is nice.
ネットで干潮時間を調べて午前の部に申し込みました。午前中だけ、砂が観れる状態だったので、良かったです。ただ、風が強すぎて寒くて寒くて…
シュノーケリングも、風の影響で行きはいいけど戻ってくる時にかなり体力がいるようだったので、泳ぎに自信がない為、シュノーケリングをあきらめました。天気が悪かったので、次は天気がいい時にいければシュノーケリングにも挑戦したいなと思いました。
Aloha! Thank you for participating in the tour the other day. Next time, please come and challenge yourself with snorkeling! We look forward to seeing you.
アロハ!先日はツアーにご参加頂きありがとうございました。
次回はぜひ!シュノーケルにチャレンジしにお越し下さいね。おまちしてます。

Had a fantastic day. We got really close to a family of hump back whales and some dolphins as well. The crew were so nice and friendly made us feel really welcome. This was our second time on the Kai Oli Oli. We had such a good time the first time, this time we bought our family along for the experience.Well worth it!!

The day we participated was not low tide, so unfortunately, it wasn't a complete sandbar, but the sea was very beautiful!
The crew members were all kind.
There were lots of turtles!
I would have been happy if the snorkeling time was a bit longer.
Oh, the snacks, the chips, were delicious!
Next time, I definitely want to see the sandbar.
私たちが参加した日は干潮ではなく、残念ながら完全なサンドバーではありませんでしたが、海はとても綺麗でした!
クルーの方はみんな親切。
亀さんいっぱいいました!
シュノーケルの時間がもう少し長かったら嬉しかったです。
あ、軽食のポテチが美味しかったです!
次こそは是非サンドバーをお目にかかりたい。

At first, I was a bit worried because it was cloudy, but it cleared up later and was really beautiful! There was a sea turtle that was very friendly with the staff and came really close to the boat; it was so cute!!
Recently, it seems that more people have been bothering sea turtles, and things have become stricter, which is unfortunate.
I thought snorkeling might be a little scary at first, but the moment I saw the underwater world, I completely forgot about my fears! You definitely should try it.
The staff were all fun, the scenery was amazing, and if I get the chance to go to Hawaii again, I would love to participate again.
By the way, it gets really cold after snorkeling, so it's better to have a thick bath towel and other things. You can borrow a blanket, but I think it's best to bring something that can get wet.
最初ちょっと曇ってるかなぁと不安でしたが途中から晴れてきて、とっても綺麗でした!海亀も、スタッフの方にとても慣れている子がいて、船のすごく近くに来てくれて、すっごくかわいかったです!!
最近海亀にイタズラしたりする人が増えて色々厳しくなったりしているようで、残念です。
シュノーケルも、最初ちょっと怖いかも!って思ってましたが、海の中をみたし瞬間全然気にならなくなりました!
絶対やったほうがいいです。
スタッフの方々もみな楽しくて、景色も最高だし、また今度ハワイに行けたら、参加したいと思いました。
ちなみに、シュノーケルの後はとっても寒くなるので、厚手のバスタオルとか諸々あった方がいいです。ブランケットは借りられますが、濡らしてもいい物を持って行ったほうがいいと思います。
Aloha! Thank you for joining the Captain Bruce's Paradise of the Sea tour. I'm really glad you were able to enjoy the beautiful waters of Hawaii while snorkeling. Please come back and visit us again when you're in Hawaii. We'll be waiting for you with the sea turtles. Mahalo!
