サンドバー キャプテンブルース 天国の海®︎シュノーケリングクルーズ SUPや浮き輪などレンタルアイテムも!<午前・午後/日本語クルー>

A bit disappointing... ちょっと残念・・・

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I imagined a pristine white sandbar when I joined, but the timing of low tide and the tour didn't match, so it felt more like a shallow sea. It might be better to check the timing of the tour and low tide before participating. I would like to join again for a revenge trip. The BBQ for lunch was very delicious!

真っ白な砂浜サンドバーをイメージして参加しましたが、干潮の時間とツアーの時間合わず、浅瀬の海という感じでした。
ツアーの時間と干潮の時間が合う時期を調べて、参加されたほうが良いかもしれませんね。
リベンジでまた参加したいと思います。
お昼のBBQは、とてもおいしかったですよ!

It was cold, but it was beautiful! 寒かったけどキレイだった!

Reviewed by: pingachan

I had heard from a friend who participated in October that it was cold and their lips turned purple, so I brought long sleeves along with a towel.

On the day of the event, there were a few clouds, but the weather was good with sunshine, and it was quite warm when the sun was out, so the water temperature didn't seem too low. However, during lunch, everyone was shivering while eating.

On the way to the sandbar, we saw several sea turtles. At the sandbar, we took commemorative photos and those who wanted to snorkel did so, but it was difficult for my 5-year-old to snorkel, so I thought one of us parents would stay on the boat with them. Just then, they brought a float with windows, and the captain helped the child onto the float and led the way, allowing the child to see fish through the float's window, which made them very happy.

As for the BBQ, I thought we would be grilling ourselves, but the food was already cooked and laid out, so it felt more like a buffet. The kalbi meat was very delicious. I was also happy to enjoy freshly made Leonard's malasadas. They let us take home any leftover food, which I thought was very good service.

My child was very excited and it was quite a handful, but the staff and other participants were all kind and interacted with the kids, so my child seemed to have a lot of fun and said they wanted to go again.

I chose the afternoon session for the BBQ, but even with a 12 PM pickup, we couldn't make good use of the morning, so I would like to participate in the morning session next time.

10月に参加した友人から、寒くて唇が紫になったと聞いていたので、タオルの他に長袖も持参して参加しました。
当日は若干雲が出ましたが、天気が良く日差しもあり、日の出ている時は暑いくらいだったので、水温もそんなに低くなかったようです。
とはいえ、ランチの時には皆ふるえながら食べていました。

サンドバーに向かう途中、ウミガメも数匹見られました。
サンドバーでは記念撮影をしてから希望者のみシュノーケルをしましたが、5歳児にシュノーケルは難しかったので、諦めて父母どちらかが一緒に船上で待っていようかな?と思っていたら、窓のついたフロートを持ってきてくださり、キャプテンが子供を乗せてフロートを引きながら先導してくれたので、子供もフロートの窓から魚を見ることができ、大喜びしていました。

BBQはその名の通り自分達で焼くのかな?と思っていたら、もう調理済みで並んでいたので、バフェって感じでしたが、カルビ肉はとても美味しかったです。
また、揚げたてのレナーズのマラサダもいただけて嬉しかったです。
残った料理等は適当に分けて持ち帰らせてくれたし、とても良いサービスだと思いました。

子供が大はしゃぎで大変でしたが、スタッフも他の参加者の方も皆親切で、子供を相手してくれたので、子供はとても楽しかったようで、また行きたいと言っていました。

BBQ目当てで午後の部にしましたが、12時ピックアップでも午前は有効に使えなかったので、次回は午前の部に参加してみたいと思いました。

It's surprising. 驚きです

Reviewed by: chanel

To be honest, I was filled with anxiety about participating with my family. My child is 5 years old and can't swim, and my wife has been to Hawaii 10 times but has never been here, so I was wondering what it would be like. However, when we arrived, I was pleasantly surprised. I had done some research beforehand and learned that the tide would be lower in the afternoon, so I apologize for changing our time from morning to afternoon, but I think it was a good decision. In the shallow areas, there was hardly 10 inches of water. It truly is a heavenly sea. There is no deception. You can immerse yourself in the happiness of experiencing nature's mysteries. I believe that during a full moon, the tide completely recedes. With global warming being a concern, I’m really glad I participated to show my child this beauty. I deeply reflect on how there can be such beautiful places on Earth. World leaders should experience this. Thank you very much. I was thrilled to learn that without this tour, we wouldn't be able to get the boat this close. My child was overjoyed and thoroughly enjoyed the heavenly sea. If possible, I sincerely hope that global warming stops and that my daughter can have the same experience again when she turns 20. Thank you very much to everyone on the tour.

正直言いまして、ファミリーでの参加に不安いっぱいでした。子供は5歳で泳げないし、妻は10回ハワイに来たけど来たことがないと言うし、どんなとこだろうと思ってましたが
、来てみたらあっと驚きました。事前に調べさせていただいて、潮の干渉時間で午後の方が引いていると分かって申し訳ないのですが、午前から午後に変更させていただいて、よかったと思いますが、浅いとこで10?もありませんでした。まさに天国の海です。偽りはありません。自然の神秘と体験できる幸せに浸れます。満月時とかだと完全に潮が引くと思います。地球温暖化が騒がれて、子供に見せたくて参加して本当に良かったです。地球にこんなに美しいところがあるのかとしみじみ思います。各国首脳は体験するべきです。ほんとうにありがとうございました。ここのツアーじゃないとこんなに近くまで船を着けられないと伺って幸せが倍増しました。子供は大喜びで天国の海を満喫しておりました。できれば地球温暖化がストップして娘が20歳になって再び同じ体験ができることを節に願います。ツアーの皆さまほんとうにありがとうございました。

BOB's Hawaii Underwater Scooter Adventure & Turtle Watching Tour

BOB was fun

Reviewed by: BigWillie

Overall my sister and I had a good time.

I was very disappointed with the cost of the photos. Even when the instructor tried to barter with me and cut the cost in half, it was still an outrageous price for a Cd that cost pennies to produce. If they were actual photos the price is still rediculous.

The best~~~~~~~~~~~~ 最高~~~~~~~~~~~~

Reviewed by: min

This trip was my second time in Hawaii★ Last year was my first experience in Hawaii, and I was completely captivated by this country, so I came back this year★ I wanted to experience something unique to Hawaii, so I joined this heavenly ocean tour! I had read a lot of reviews before going, so I was filled with anticipation about what a fun tour it would be...♪ But... everything exceeded my expectations (>_<)

As someone who loves the ocean, this tour provided me with incredibly wonderful and happy moments (:▽;) The staff were all very fun, and the men were incredibly handsome... (>U<)★ I even got to take pictures with them~~♪ I've seen many oceans in Japan, but nothing compares to the ocean I was taken to on this tour!!

The blue, azure, and deep blue were beyond anything I could imagine in Japan!!!! The contrast of cobalt blue and emerald green was so beautiful that I genuinely felt grateful to be alive, without exaggeration (laughs). At the sandbar, there was really nothing to do... that time itself was pure "healing," and I realized how trivial my worries were... I was able to let go of everything★ It truly was a "power spot"★

I took many photos with the emerald green sea as a backdrop, in places used for filming Jurassic Park and Godzilla♪ It was my first experience with snorkeling, and I discovered the beauty of the underwater world for the first time, which is still vividly etched in my memory. I was thrilled to meet a sea turtle while snorkeling. After getting out of the water, I was able to see sea turtles from the boat multiple times, and that alone made me incredibly happy.

This became my best memory from the four-night, six-day trip!!★ I brought a waterproof digital camera, so I was able to capture plenty of photos underwater and at the sandbar, and I’m very satisfied with that. I highly recommend bringing a waterproof camera if you can♪ I will definitely participate again next year (^3^)

今回の旅行は私にとってハワイ二度目★
去年ハワイ初体験でもうすっかりこの国に魅了されてしまい今年もやってまいりました★今回はハワイならではのことが体験したくてこの天国の海ツアーに参加しました!行く前から口コミでもたくさん読んでいたのでどんな楽しいツアーなんだろ・・♪と期待に胸をふくらませておりましたが・・・・・
もう、、、すべてが想像以上でした(>_<)
海大好きな私にとってこのツアーはたまらなく素晴らしい幸せな時間が過ごせました(:▽;)スタッフの皆さまも非常に楽しくまた男性は非常にかっこよく・・(>U<)★一緒に写真撮ってもらっちゃいました~~♪
日本でたくさんの海をみてきましたがこのツアーで連れてっていただいた海にかなうものはありません!!
日本では考えれないぐらい青い蒼い碧い!!!!
コバルトブルーとエメラルドグリーンのコントラストがとても美しく心底。。大袈裟でなく生きててよかったと思いました(笑)サンドバーでは本当に何もすることがない・・その時間こそが「癒し」そのもので色んな自分の悩みがなんてちっぽけなものだったんだろ・・と全部ふっきれました★まさに【パワースポット】です★
ジュラシックパークやゴジラの撮影で使われていた場所をバックにエメラルドグリーンの海とたくさん写真を撮りました♪シュノーケルも初体験だったのですが海の中の美しさ素晴らしさを初めて知り、今でもしっかり目に焼き付いてます。海ガメさんにもシュノーケルのときに会うことができ感動の嵐でした。海からでて船の上からの何度も海ガメさんにあうことができてそれだけですごく幸せでした。
四泊六日の旅行の中で一番の思い出となりました!!★私は防水のデジカメを持って行ったので十分に海の中の写真やサンドバーでの写真を残すことができましてとても満足してるのでできれば防水のカメラを持っていくことをお勧めします♪来年も必ず参加します(^3^)

I participated in late October 2008!

The participants were all newlyweds. I saw it online and imagined a blue sea, but unfortunately, the weather was bad on the day. The water depth was up to my stomach, and we were far from the sandbar.

Also, be careful because the water is quite cold!

I was able to enjoy it even without low tide! ♪ 干潮じゃなくても楽しめました♪

Reviewed by: yurime.

This time, I aimed to participate on a low tide day!
...but I mistakenly checked the calendar, and it was almost high tide (;_;).
I set sail feeling a bit disappointed.

But that feeling quickly faded!
The ocean here is completely different from Waikiki Beach.
It's not like the beaches in the North; it really feels like you're taken right into the middle of the sea.

Even at high tide, there are shallow areas where adults can sit and relax.
As our guide Yuko said, it was a sea where you could just "do nothing and zone out."

The snorkeling afterward was fun, and swimming while watching turtles was the best!!
Even those who can't swim can look for them from the boat.

Most of the staff are Japanese, so there's peace of mind in terms of language.
I think people of all ages can enjoy it safely and comfortably.

I participated in the morning session this time, but I definitely want to join the afternoon session next time.
Or if there's a full-day plan, I would definitely go!

今回は干潮日を狙って参加!
…したのに暦のみ間違いでほぼ満潮(;_;)
ちょっと残念な気分のまま出航しました。

でもそんなのすぐ晴れます!
ワイキキビーチとはまるで違う自然の中の海。
ノースのようなビーチとも違い、
本当に海の真ん中に連れて行かれる感じです。

満潮時でもオトナなら座れる程度の浅瀬でぼんやりタイム。
ガイドのゆうこさんが仰っていた通り、
『何にもしないでぼーっとする』ことの出来る海でした。

その後のシュノーケルも楽しかったし、
なんと言っても亀を見ながら泳げるのはサイコー!!
泳げないヒトも船上から見れるよう探してくれます。

スタッフはほとんどが日本人なので、言葉の面も安心。
老若男女問わずみんなで安心して楽しめると思います。

今回は午前の分で参加したけど、
今度は是非午後の分で参加したいです。
もしくは1日プランがあれば、ココなら行きます!

I was very satisfied with the beautiful sea! キレイな海に大満足♪

Reviewed by: Hula

I participated in a morning plan on September 1st.

Contrary to the clear skies in Waikiki, the area around Kaneohe Bay was unfortunately cloudy. Moreover, the sandbar we were looking forward to visiting had its low tide at just after 6 AM that day, so by the time we arrived, the water level was already up to our knees, and we couldn't stroll on the white sandbar like in the commercials. Therefore, if you really want to walk on the sandbar, I recommend doing some thorough research beforehand.

After returning to the boat and enjoying some light snacks like bread, chips, and fruits, we went snorkeling. A Japanese staff member kindly explained how to use the equipment, so I think even beginners will be fine. Perhaps due to the cloudy weather, the visibility underwater wasn't very clear, but we were still able to see the coral reefs and tropical fish perfectly.

After that, we changed locations for a second snorkeling session. We were supposed to swim with sea turtles, but unfortunately, none appeared (cry). However, we were able to see a sea turtle surfacing for air from the boat at another spot♪

On the way back, you can ride in the shuttle car in your swimsuit, so if you have something to throw on, you won't need to change. However, it can get quite cold on the boat, so it's better to have a jacket. Depending on the weather, I wore a hoodie and wrapped myself in a bath towel. Also, since waves can splash into the boat, it might be a good idea to put your belongings in a waterproof bag. If you want to take photos without worrying about getting wet, a waterproof case for your digital camera is a must☆ They were selling waterproof cameras on the boat too, but I think it was around $25?

While I regret not seeing the sandbar due to the weather, the time spent in the beautiful sea became a great memory. I would love to participate again next time for a revenge trip♪

9月1日に午前発のプランに参加しました。

快晴のワイキキとは裏腹に、カネオヘ湾付近はあいにくの曇り空。しかも楽しみにしていたサンドバーは当日の干潮が午前6時過ぎだったということで、私達が到着した頃には既に膝下くらいまでの水位があり、CMのように白いサンドバーを闊歩・・・という具合にはいきませんでした。なのでどうしてもサンドバーを歩きたい!!という方は事前によく調べていくことをオススメします。

ボートに戻ってパンやチップス、フルーツなどの軽食を頂いた後はシュノーケルです。使い方など日本人のスタッフさんが丁寧に教えてくれるので、初めての方でも大丈夫だと思いますよ☆曇天のせいか水中もあまりクリアではありませんでしたが、それでも珊瑚礁と熱帯魚はバッチリ見ることができました。

その後ポイントを変えて2度目のシュノーケル。ウミガメと泳ぐ~♪・・・ハズが、カメ現れず(泣)。でも、ボートに戻って他のポイントに行き、船上からでしたが水面で息継ぎをするウミガメに会うことができました♪

帰りは水着のまま送迎車に乗せてもらえるので、羽織るものでもあれば着替えは必要ありません。ただ、船上はかなり寒いので上着があった方がいいです。お天気にもよると思いますが、私はパーカーを着て更にバスタオルにくるまってました。あと、波しぶきが船内まで入ってくることもあるので持ち物はビニールバッグなど濡れてもいいバッグに入れて行った方がいいかもしれません。水濡れを気にせず写真を撮りたい方は、デジカメ用の防水ケースもマストです☆船上でも防水カメラ売ってましたが・・・25ドルだったかな?

お天気とサンドバーを見られなかったのが心残りでしたが、綺麗な海でのひと時はいい思い出になりました。次回、リベンジしにまた参加したいです♪

Love the staff

Reviewed by: Cindy Devlin

But hated wearing the "bright yellow floaties". At first, when these were pulled out, I was saying..."oh crap, you've got to be kidding!" But then when we hit the water, I realized it's not such big deal to look like a dork, we all do. The water was amazing until I got hit in the nose by a fellow dork. My snorkling was done at that point. I was greeted by the friendly on board crew and a warm shower. The entire trip was completely worth it. The two above neg's were not a big deal. The crew, the sites, the water, the food, drinks and friendly banter of fellow passengers was great. I highly recommend this cruise. Thank you.

I had to cancel last time because I caught a cold, so I went for a revenge trip.

On July 13th, it was sunny in Waikiki, but the ocean in Heaven was cloudy... It was cold, but the staff's support was excellent! I had a great time.

It was my first time snorkeling, but I felt very safe with the staff watching over us. The fish and corals were absolutely amazing! I was moved by the incredible color of the ocean when the sun peeked through!

I want to go again.

前回風邪を引いてキャンセルしてしまったので、リベンジしてきました。

7/13の参加で、ワイキキでは晴天だったのに、天国の海は曇り。。。寒かったですが、スタッフさんの対応もばっちり!とても楽しめました。

シュノーケリングは初挑戦でしたが、スタッフさんが見守ってる中だったのでとても安心できました。そして、魚もサンゴもとてもすばらしかった!
晴れ間が覗いた時の海の色のすごさには感動しました!

That's amazing!! すご~い!!

Reviewed by: YUPPY

At the sandbar between the seas, I felt the mystery of nature, it was amazing! For my first time snorkeling, I cautiously ventured from the sandbar to a point where the sea turned a deep blue. I was half scared and half excited, but there were so many fish in the coral reef, it was incredible! Unfortunately, my friend and I couldn't quite grasp the snorkeling techniques and had to give up on going to the deeper part of the sea, but it seemed we practiced a lot at the sandbar. Later, we went to Hanauma Bay for a revenge attempt, and it seems our practice paid off as we were able to see the fish. The staff lady at the sandbar checks if you can snorkel, so it's better not to push yourself too hard.

On that day, there were about 40 participants in the morning session, but in the afternoon when I joined, there were only about 10 people, allowing us to enjoy the scenery comfortably. I also got to taste the much-anticipated malasada, and the BBQ was delicious, it was just the best! Additionally, I brought a waterproof case for my digital camera, which made it so much fun. The photos are filled with my amateurish attempts, but I definitely recommend everyone to bring a waterproof camera. (Photos 5 and 6 are from Hanauma.) There was also a playful and mischievous captain who suddenly showed us a sea cucumber right in front of us, making it a truly enjoyable day.

海と海の間にあるサンドバーで、自然の神秘を感じすごーい?。そして人生初のシュノーケルで、サンドバーから恐る恐る海が濃い青に変わっているポイントへ。怖さとワクワクが半分でしたが、さんご礁にお魚いっぱいですごーい、すごーーい?。残念ながら、私と同行の友人はシュノーケルのコツがつかめず、海が深いポイントへは断念しましたが、サンドバーでずっと練習していた様で、後日ハナウマ湾へリベンジに行ったのですが練習の成果が出てお魚を見る事が出来た様です。サンドバーでスタッフのお姉さんがシュノーケル出来るか見てくれますので余り無理はしない方が良いですね。
この日午前便は40名程の参加者がいた様ですが、私が参加した午後は10名程度でゆったり景色を見る事が出来ました。期待のマラサダ?も食し、BBQも美味しくってもうサイコー★ あと、私はデジカメを防水仕様に出来るウォータープルーフケースを持っていったのですっごい楽しめました。ど素人ぶりが満載な写真ですが、皆様も是非カメラは防水を持っていかれる事をおススメいたします。(5・6枚目はハナウマ) イキナリなまこを握って目の前に出してくるおちゃめでいたずらっ子なキャプテンもいて本当に楽しい1日でした。

I participated in the afternoon barbecue event. I was immediately given a malasada, and my spirits were high! With the staff's cheers, we began. We took a boat to the sandbar, and upon arrival, it felt like paradise. It was truly Hawaii. We enjoyed the sandbar in a private setting. The BBQ that followed was quite substantial and incredibly delicious. By chance, we joined a tour hosted by a Japanese celebrity and encountered live celebrities. Lucky!! At the sandbar, there was also a professional photographer taking pictures (to be posted on the website), which is recommended for couples. After enjoying the beautiful sea while snorkeling, we returned to the boat and encountered turtles. As we quietly waited for the turtles, we spotted their shells in the waves. We were able to see them three times (three turtles), which was very satisfying. We were blessed with good weather, and it became a wonderful memory.

午後のバーベキュー付に参加しました。いきなりマラサダをもらい気分は上々!!スタッフの掛け声とともに、始まりました。サンドバーまで船で行き、着けばそこは天国。まさにハワイ。貸切状態で、サンドバーを満喫しました。その後のBBQもかなりのボリュームと、かなりのおいしさ。たまたま、日本の芸能人の主催するツアーとも一緒になり、生芸能人にも遭遇。ラッキー!!サンドバーではプロカメラマンによる写真撮影(HPに掲載)もあり、カップルにもお勧め。きれいな海をシューノーケルで廻り、満喫した後は船に戻り、亀との遭遇。静かに亀を待っていると、波間に甲羅が。三度も目撃でき(三カメ)大満足。好天にも恵まれ、とてもよい思い出になりました。

Beautiful sandbar キレイなサンドバー

Reviewed by: vitamin

The contrast of the blue sky, emerald green sea, and sandbar was very beautiful, and the sandbar exceeded my expectations. We walked about five minutes through knee-deep water from the boat to the sandbar. I read reviews beforehand and was glad I brought an underwater camera. (They were selling underwater cameras on the boat for $20 for participants who didn't bring one.)

The snorkeling was not enjoyable, possibly due to the previous day's weather, as the water clarity was poor and there were hardly any fish. I was disappointed since I participated with the intention of snorkeling. In this tour, snorkeling is done barefoot without fins.

I think this is a good tour for those who want to enjoy the sandbar.

 青い空とエメラルドグリーンの海とサンドバーのコントラストがとてもキレイで、サンドバーは期待以上でした。
 船からサンドバーまで膝下ぐらいの水位のある海を5分ぐらい歩きます。事前に口コミを読んで、水中カメラを持参して良かったです。(水中カメラを持参していない参加者向けに、船上で水中カメラを20ドルで販売していました。)
 シュノーケリングは前日の天候の影響もあってか海の透明度が悪く、魚もほとんどいなく楽しめませんでした。
 私は、シュノーケリング目的で今回参加したため残念でした。このツアーでのシュノーケリングは、フィンを付けず、素足で行います。
 サンドバーを楽しむために参加するには、良いツアーだと思います。

My trip to Hawaii for six nights and eight days became the best memory ever.

I participated in a morning tour. It was a bit chilly that day, so I wore a T-shirt and a jacket over my swimsuit. There were a lot of participants, and we departed with two boats. I think there were about 20 to 30 people on our boat.

Upon arriving at the sandbar, we got off the boat and into the sea. It was quite cold, so about 30% of the people rented wetsuits. At first, the water was about waist-deep, but it quickly became shallower. The view was amazing! The color of the sea changed into various hues as we reached the sandbar. We had some free time there, and they took two photos of each group, which we could purchase later.

Also, since there’s a risk of getting wet, it’s definitely better to bring a waterproof camera. They sell cameras that can be used underwater for $20. Although I reluctantly bought one, I was really glad I did later on. I recommend purchasing one if you don’t have it; you can take photos of fish and turtles underwater! It’s a must-have!

After that, we returned to the boat and went snorkeling around the sandbar. At this point, everyone had rented wetsuits. While there weren't many beautiful tropical fish, we saw plenty of fish. And surprisingly, we encountered a turtle early on! It seems that seeing turtles near the sandbar is quite rare, and even the staff was surprised.

When we returned to the boat, it was meal time. The food was delicious, and I even went back for seconds. Next, we changed spots to visit the turtle habitat. While snorkeling there, we were able to see two more turtles.

Then we returned to the boat to watch the turtles basking in the sun. We spotted about five or six turtles floating on the surface! It was truly refreshing and amazing to see such large sea turtles swimming freely in the ocean. I was able to take great photos with my underwater camera, and it was the best experience. This is a tour I would want to participate in every time I visit Hawaii.

When boarding the boat, I recommend securing a spot near the front (this is where you get on and off). Also, act quickly. Even if there are turtles around, if you come later, they might already be gone. I think the spot for watching the turtles basking is the best position.

6泊8日でのハワイ旅行で一番最高の思い出になりました。
午前のツアーに参加。当日は肌寒く、水着の上にTシャツ+上着を着用。
参加者はとても多く、2台で出発。私たちの船には20~30人くらい居たと思います。
サンドバーに到着し、船から海へ。結構寒かったので、3割くらいの人はウェットスーツを借りていました。
最初は海面が腰くらいまででしたが、すぐに浅瀬に。眺めは最高!!海の色が何色にも変わっていきサンドバーに到着という感じです。そこでしばらくフリータイム。写真も1組2枚撮っていただけますが、後で購入する形になります。
また、水に濡れる心配があるため、防水カメラは絶対持って行ったほうがいいです。水中でも撮れるカメラの販売がありますが、20ドルです。不本意ながらも購入しましたが、後から買ってよかったと心底思いました。持ってない人は購入をおすすめします。水の中で魚やカメさんの撮影ができます!!必需品です!
その後再度船に戻り、サンドバーの周りをシュノーケリング。この時点で皆がウェットスーツを借りていました。
キレイな熱帯魚はほとんどいませんが、魚はたくさん見れました。そしてなんとここで早くもカメさんと遭遇!!サンドバー付近で見れるのはめったにないらしく、スタッフも驚いていました。
船に戻るとお食事タイム。とってもおいしくておかわりまでしてしまいました。次はスポットを変えてカメさんの生息地域へ。シュノーケリングしながらここでさらに2匹見ることができました。
次は船に戻りカメさんの甲羅干しを見に行きます。海面にプカプカ浮いて甲羅干しをしているカメさんを5~6匹発見!!
あんなに大きな海亀が普通に海で泳いでいることが本当にもう新鮮で驚きで感動しっぱなしでした。水中カメラでバッチリ撮ることもでき、最高の体験ができました。ハワイに行ったら毎回参加したいと思うツアーでした。

船に乗るときは先頭付近(ここから乗り降りします)を陣取ることをお勧めします。そしてなんでも早めに行動を。せっかくカメさんが居ても後から来ると既にもういない・・・なんてこともありますので。カメの甲羅干しも一番見れる位置だと思います。

The weather wasn't very good and it was a bit chilly, which was disappointing. However, the guide was very cheerful and it was fun. Also, we encountered a sea turtle, but it was really fast and we couldn't see it. It seems like the people at the front were able to see it... I want to try again. I would love to participate again!

あまり天気が良くなく肌寒かったので残念でした。でもガイドさんがとても陽気で楽しかったです。あと、ウミガメも遭遇したのですが、すごくスピードが速くてみられませんでした。先頭の方にいた人たちはみられたみたいでした。。。再チャレンジしたいなぁ。また、参加したいです!!

Premium Ko Olina Snorkel Cruise with Dolphin Watching, Lunch Buffet & Drinks - Ocean Joy Cruises

Snorkeling 4-13-09

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

We had a beautiful day for our snorkeling trip, we could not have asked for more beautiful weather. The crew was friendly and the boat was really nice and modern. We saw some dolphins out in the distance although they barely came above the surface and we saw a few turtles. There were no whale sightings on our cruise. The snorkeling was a little disappointing because the water was really choppy and we were dealing with an extremely strong current. There really wasnt a lot to see underwater. It was a little scary for the first time snorkelers and a few people got sea sick. We had a really large group (over 30 people) which made it difficult to move around the boat and it also made it difficult to move around out in the water without getting hit in the face by another persons fins. I think this cruise would have been a lot more enjoyable had there been 20 people or less on the boat.

Peter is the best. ピーター最高

Reviewed by: ぐっち

As a result, I chose the early morning plan, but unfortunately, I couldn't see the dolphins. (It was just bad luck.)

However, I was able to interact closely with the turtles and enjoy snorkeling! Above all, Peter, the local staff member, was very fluent in Japanese, provided excellent explanations, and was wonderful in his responses. We were able to chat during the transfer, and I was very satisfied with the experience.

As a side note, during the transfer from the hotel to the site, I was able to see the high school that President Obama attended and the Hitachi tree, and the staff during the transfer were also very good.

If I have the chance to go to Hawaii again, I think I will choose this plan again.

結果としては早朝プランにしたがイルカにあることは出来なかった。(これは運が悪かった)

しかし、亀にはすぐ近くで触れ合うことができたし、
シュノーケリングを楽しむ事ができた!
なにより現地のスタッフであるピーターさんが
非常に日本語も流暢であり、説明もうまく、
対応もすばらしかった。
移動中もいろいろと話ができ、とても満足のいく内容xでした。

補足ですが、ホテルからのピックアップから現地への
移動中にオバマ氏出身高校や、日立の木を見る事ができ、
移動スタッフの対応もよかったです。

次回ハワイにいけるようでしたら、またこのプランを
選ぼうと思います。

From 2 years old to 67 years old. 2歳から67歳まで

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

We participated as a family of seven, ranging from 2 to 67 years old, on New Year's Eve. It was very lucky that it was sunny only while we were walking on the sandbar.

Before boarding the boat, we were treated to famous donuts, and even though the BBQ time was a bit delayed, it was fine.

I was worried that my husband and my father, both 67 years old, might find it boring, but they borrowed wetsuits and got into the ocean. In the end, they only entered the sea on this tour in Hawaii, so I’m glad they participated.

The fathers didn’t do much in particular, but they enjoyed watching their 2-year-old grandchild swim with the floaties we brought while walking from the boat to the sandbar, which was waist-deep. They also enjoyed taking commemorative photos in the sea. The pictures turned out great.

The BBQ was delicious. We were all moved to see sea turtles. Since we were wearing wetsuits, we didn’t mind the cold.

大晦日に2歳から67歳まで家族7人で参加しました。サンドバーで散歩する時だけ、晴れてとてもラッキーでした。

船に乗る前に有名な?ドーナツをふるまっていただいてBBQの時間が、少し遅くても、大丈夫でした。

67歳の私と主人の父達、2人にはつまらないかな、、と心配していましたがウエットスーツを借りて、海に入水。結局、2人はハワイで、このツアーでしか海に入らなかったので参加してよかったです。

父たちは特に何をするわけではなかったですが、
船からサンドバーまで、腰までの深さのところを歩くので持参した浮き輪で泳ぐ2歳の孫を見たり、
海で、記念撮影できた、という事が楽しかったようです。いい顔で撮れてます。

BBQも美味しかったです。
海亀も会えて家族全員感動しました。
ウエットを着ていたので寒さは気になりませんでした。

3-Hour West Coast Dolphin Watch & Snorkel Cruise, Lunch, Drinks & Transportation

might have been really great if...

Reviewed by: Chuck and Cindy

the sun was shining, the wind was blowing, the dolphins were swimming, the reef was closer to the surface. But it wasn't, not any. No sailing because of no wind. No sun. No dolphins. I'm near sighted, so the reef, in the sunless water, was too darn deep for me to really see. Got a re-ride ticket - but what good is that going to do me? This was a once in a lifetime trip. I didn't score it worse, cause the "catatonics" helped my mood, and I absolutely love the ocean, no matter what.
