All Reviews for Lunch & Breakfast Experiences

We enjoyed our circle island tour in Oct. this was a special occasion for us and our second trip to Oahu. We wanted to see more of the island this time and choose this tour because it had so many stops and was a full day trip. Our driver was very informative & very knowledgeable. We enjoyed all our stops and had the best day!!! The lunch at Fumis was fantastic! I would recommend this tour to everyone!

It was cold.
But I was glad to see the sea turtles.
It wasn't the morning tide, but the sea was beautiful,
and I was happy.
I want to go again!

寒かった。
でもウミガメが見れて良かった。
朝潮ではなかったけど海が綺麗で
良かったです。
また行きたいです！

Shortly after departure, while everyone was offering prayers to the blue sea, dolphins began to swim nearby. When we hurriedly entered the water together, we could see the dolphins swimming!

During snorkeling, we were also able to see sea turtles and many fish.

Communication was perfectly fine in Japanese. There was even a morning call on the day, which was really kind. Above all, the crew members were truly friendly and cheerful. They ensured safety while we were in the water.

I'm in my mid-50s, but I can't swim, I'm scared of the ocean, and I was worried about seasickness. However, with the wetsuit rental and life jacket, I wasn't cold and didn't sink! I took motion sickness medication in advance, so I was fine on both the bus and the boat.

The sparkling blue sea, hula dancing, ukulele performances, and the burgers we ate on the boat were all delicious, packed with fun.

I no longer fear the sea or the boat! Thank you so much to all the staff. I would love to participate again when I go to Hawaii. This is a tour I want many people to join! Dolphin & You, which is gentle to the sea, marine life, and people, is the best!

出航間もなく、青い海にみんなでお祈りを捧げているうちに、イルカたちが近くを泳ぎはじめました。
みんなでちょっと急いで海に入ると、イルカたちが泳いでいるのが見えましたー(^^)

シュノーケリングではウミガメやたくさんの魚たちも見ることができました。

連絡はすべて日本語で大丈夫。
当日はモーニングコールもあり、本当に親切です。
なんといってもクルーの皆さんが本当にフレンドリーで、ニコニコ。そして海ではしっかり安全を確認してくれています。

私は50代半ばですが、泳げないし、海はこわいし、船酔いも心配でしたが、ウェットスーツレンタルにライフジャケットなので、寒くないし沈みません！ 酔い止めをあらかじめ飲んでおいたらバスも船も大丈夫でした。

キラキラの青い海、フラダンス、ウクレレ演奏、船の上で食べるバーガーも美味しくて、ぎゅぎゅっと楽しさが詰まっていました。

海も船もこわくなくなりました！
スタッフの皆様本当にありがとうございました。
またハワイに行ったら参加したいです。
たくさんのみなさんに参加していただきたいツアーです！
海にも海の生き物にも人にも優しいドルフィン＆ユー最高です(^^)

At the sandbar, we practiced volleyball and snorkeling, and for lunch, we had hamburgers made with meat grilled by the staff. We also saw sea turtles, and the actual snorkeling experience was amazing with so many fish. It was the best tour! No need to worry about language at all! Sunscreen is a must! ☀️☀️☀️ The guide was also a funny person and kept us entertained during the boat ride.

サンドバーにてバレー、シュノーケル練習、お昼はスタッフが焼いてくれたお肉でハンバーガー
ウミガメも見れて、実際のシュノーケリングもたくさんのお魚が見れて最高のツアーでした
言葉の心配も一切必要なし！
日焼け止めは必須です☀️☀️☀️
ガイドさんも面白い方で船の移動中も楽しませてくれました

私の3歳の子供と私にとって素晴らしい体験でした。39分間でしたが、友好的な馬たちと美しい農場を回ることができました。スタッフもとても親切で、貴重な瞬間を楽しむことができました。家族と一緒に子供たちを再び連れて行きたいと思います。彼らの素晴らしいおもてなしに感謝します。

It was great experience for my 3 years old kid and myself. It was just 39 min, but we could ride around beautiful farm with fiendly horses.
Staff was quite nice and we could enjoy the prescious moment. I will take my kids back again with family.
Appreciate their great hospitality.

A landslide occurred a few days before our participation, which resulted in the trekking route to Manoa Falls being closed, so we ended up trekking at the nearby Lyon Arboretum.

As it is a botanical garden, the paths were well-maintained and easy to walk on. We arrived at the waterfall in about 40 minutes while listening to our guide share stories about Hawaii's history. Although it wasn't a large waterfall, we were lucky that the rain from the previous day had increased the water flow a bit.

There were many plants I had never seen before, and I stopped to take photos... during which I got bitten by mosquitoes. Even with insect repellent spray, it seems like it's better not to stay still.

After trekking, we drove to Kaimana Farm Cafe for lunch. The portion sizes were just right, and the food was very delicious.

参加の数日前に地滑りが発生してマノア滝がへのトレッキングルートが閉鎖されてしまったため、すぐお隣の Lyon Arboretum のトレッキングとなりました。
植物園ということだけあって、道はよく整備されていて、歩きやすかったです。
ガイドさんからハワイの歴史も聞きながら40分くらいで滝に到着。大きな滝ではないのですが、前日の雨でちょっとばかり水量が増えていたのでラッキーでした。
見たことのない植物ばかりで足を止めては写真を撮り・・・その間に蚊に刺されました。虫除けスプレーはかけても刺されるようなので、じっとしない方が良さそうです。
トレッキングの後は車で移動してカイマナ・ファーム・カフェでランチ。量もちょうどよく、とても美味しかったです。

The bus was fully booked for departure. It’s quite popular, after all.

At first, it was difficult to find the sea turtles, but thanks to the guide's advice, I was able to see quite a few once I got the hang of it.

As for the main sandbar, it didn’t appear at all because it was out of sync with the low tide. (Even in shallow areas, the water level was about waist-high.)

Since it’s nature, there’s nothing that can be done about it, but I was a bit disappointed because I had imagined something like the pictures.

バスは満席での出発でした。やはり人気ですね。
ウミガメは最初は探すのが難しかったですが、ガイドさんのアドバイスもあり、慣れれば結構たくさん見ることができました。
メインのサンドバーですが、干潮の時間とズレていたのでサンドバーは全く出現しませんでした。（浅いところでも水位は腰の高さほどありました）
自然のことなので仕方ないですが、イメージ写真のようなものを想像していたので、少しがっかりした面もあります。

It was supposed to be a guided tour with a Japanese guide, but the bus guide only spoke Japanese for jokes and didn't inform us about when to get off or the order of disembarking, so I almost missed my stop. The boat staff were good, but unfortunately, the weather was bad and it was cold on the ground. It might be better to check the tide times before booking.

日本人ガイド付きとなっていましたが、バスのバスのガイドさんは冗談だけ日本語で帰りは途中で下車し、降りる順番とかも教えてくれなかったので危うく乗り過ごすところでした。船のスタッフさんは良かったですがあいにくの天気で地上は寒かったです。潮の時間を調べて申し込んだ方が良いかもです。

Great trip got to see lots of turtles. The lunch was good and the staff (Mike, Jenner, Ken) were excellent- thank you.

Unfortunately, when I went, it was high tide, so I couldn't see the sandbar and the water level was up to my waist, but it was still incredibly beautiful and moving! When I went snorkeling around the coral reef, we were lucky enough to have a sea turtle come close to us, and we were able to swim together very closely! The staff were also great at creating a fun atmosphere, and on the way back, they played the ukulele and sang for us, making it a truly wonderful memory! I want to go again!

残念ながら私が行った時は満潮でサンドバー見れず腰くらいまで水位がありましたが、それでもとってもきれいで感動しました！
サンゴ礁の周りをシュノーケリングした時も、運良く私達の近くにウミガメが来てくれてとっても近くで一緒に泳ぐことができました！スタッフさん達も盛り上げ上手で帰りは船でウクレレ弾きながら歌ってくれたり、最高に素敵な思い出になりましたっ！また行きたいです！

This was a great adventure. My wife and I had a wonderful time.

The day started with a bus picking us up from Waikiki to get to Kaneohe Bay. It was short 25 min drive to get there. Once we got off the bus, we headed over to the boat area to join the crew. A tour guide (both Eng and Jpn) was present to walk us through the process the whole time. She walked us through some safety cautions and basic procedures, and the whole crew was very pleasant to be around the whole time.

The boat ride was a few minutes to get to the sandbar. That day, the water was up to our waist. Very refreshing experience to be out in the ocean and have sand to walk on. My wife practiced snorkeling while I walked around, explored, and took pictures. It was a gorgeous sight. Some of the other guests played volleyball in the sand/water, which looked like a lot of fun too.

Soon after, we went back onto the boat and were treated to good ol' barbecue lunch. Cheeseburger, beans, and pineapple. Nothing crazy, but it was nice and filling after an hour of excursion out in the sandbar. We then started traveling to the private reef. During the transit, we were able to witness few turtles and manta rays that swung by to say hi to our boat!

Once we got to the reef, we got basic snorkeling gears and were given about an hour to explore the reef. A little scary at first, but after getting in the ocean, it was a blast. The fishes are not afraid and they come very close to the swimmers. We were lucky enough to catch a turtle while we were swimming too. It was such a beautiful and refreshing experience.

All in all, I definitely recommend the experience to anyone that's visiting Hawaii. For first-timers, it's definitely a beginner friendly experience and you really get a variety of joyous adventures.

Unfortunately, I didn't check the low tide times, so I couldn't experience the beach. Next time, I want to make sure to do my research before going.
The BBQ lunch meat we had on the boat was very delicious!! I would love to eat it again!
The staff were very kind and it was great.

残念ながら、干潮時間を調べて行かなかったので砂浜を体験することができませんでした。次回はしっかり調べて行きたいと思います。
船上で食べたBBQランチのお肉がとても美味しかったです！！また食べたいと思いました！
スタッフの方はとても親切で良かったです。

I was looking forward to the Manoa Falls hike on this trip to Hawaii, but due to a landslide, it was closed on the day of my visit, so we had to take the alternative route to Aihualama Falls and the botanical garden.

Unfortunately, Aihualama Falls is much smaller than Manoa Falls, which was disappointing. I also wanted to see the banyan tree arch and other rustic plants along the way to Manoa Falls, but the alternative route was just a long walk through a well-maintained botanical garden, lacking the sense of adventure I had hoped for.

For those who want to avoid getting their clothes and shoes dirty, this alternative tour might be good, but for us, who were prepared to get dirty and excited about experiencing nature, it was a letdown.

While it's understandable that the Manoa Falls route is closed due to natural disasters, I believe the alternative Aihualama Falls route should be marketed as a completely different tour. It was very unkind to suggest that it was the same experience as the Manoa Falls route.

Unfortunately, the Kaimana Farm Cafe was also closed, and we ended up getting takeout bento boxes to eat at the hotel after the tour.

I can only say that the timing was unfortunate, and it was a disappointing tour.

今回のハワイ旅行で楽しみにしていたマノア滝ハイキングですが、土砂崩れで、訪問した日も閉鎖されていた為、代替のアイフアラマ滝と植物園のコースとなりました。
やはり滝の大きさは代替のアイフアラマ滝は小さく残念な感じでした。
また、滝よりもマノア滝に行くまでに見られるバニアンツリーアーチなど素朴な植物を見たかったのですが、代替コースは整備された植物園を延々と歩いていくだけでアドベンチャー感がなく期待していたものとは程遠かったです。
服や靴を汚したくない方には、今回の代替ツアーは良いかもしれませんが、汚れてもいい準備で気合入れて大自然を期待して参加した我々には拍子抜けで残念な内容でした。
マノア滝コースが閉鎖されているのは自然災害で仕方ないことですが、代替のアイフアラマ滝コースは、全くの別物のツアーであるという位置づけで、別ツアーとして案内した方が良いと思います。マノア滝コースと変わらない内容ですという案内はとても不親切だと思います。
カイマナファームカフェも運悪く閉店しており、テイクアウトのお弁当を解散時に貰ってホテルで食べました。
つくづくタイミングが悪かったとしか言いようがないですが、残念なツアーでした。

I had made a reservation for an early morning tour, confirming that the tide would be low at that time. However, due to some trouble, I couldn't participate in the early tour. Thanks to the quick thinking of VELTRA, I was able to join a later morning tour. Although I couldn't walk on the sandbar, I was satisfied to encounter sea turtles.

午前中の早い時間であれば潮が引いていると確認してその時間に合わせて予約を入れていたのですがトラブルがあり早い時間のツアーに参加できませんでした。ベルトラさんの機転で午前の遅い時間のツアーに参加することが出来ました。サンドバーを歩くことはできませんでしたがウミガメと遭遇でき満足です。

The sandbar had water up to my waist to chest due to the tides, but I still enjoyed walking around. It was great to practice snorkeling as well.

For snorkeling, there were many participants, so the instructions were thorough, but the basics were left to the participants, which might not be very enjoyable for those who are inexperienced. When I went snorkeling in other countries, the staff would swim alongside us, so some people might find that aspect disappointing.

サンドバーは潮の関係で腰から胸あたりまで水がありましたが、それでも楽しく歩けました。シュノーケルの練習もできてよかったです。
シュノーケリングは、参加者が多かったせいか、丁寧に説明してくれましたが基本はほったらかしなので、できない人はあまり楽しくないかも。他の国でシュノーケリングをした時は、スタッフがついて泳いでくれたりしたので、人によってはその辺りを残念に思う人もいるかもしれません。

The “booze cruise” as we called it(bachelorette party) definitely was amazing! The bride enjoyed it most(out of all the other activities we did that weekend) and that’s all that mattered. The boat crew were surprisingly interactive during our activities and even joined in our sandbar volleyball match. So much laughs and the scenery/water/weather was breath taking. Although we are from Maui and experience a lot of boating and time in the water, to the crew that worked September 29th, 2018(I didn’t get names) YOU ALL WERE FABULOUS!! Mahalo Mahalo Mahalo!

It was a 1.5-hour horseback ride, but considering it took us 2 hours to get there from Waikiki, it ended up being just 1.5 hours of riding through the forest, which got boring halfway through.

1.5時間の乗馬でしたが、ワイキキから2時間かけて行った割に
森の中をただひたすら乗馬するだけの1.5時間だったので途中で飽きてしまいました。

The contrast of blue, the mysterious experience of standing in the sea, and encountering many sea turtles made for a truly wonderful experience. The crew was very attentive to ensure that all participants enjoyed themselves, which was great. Thank you! The hamburgers were juicy and very delicious. Although the boat goes out to sea, it hardly sways, so even for someone like me who gets seasick easily, it was fine. At the snorkeling spot, there were many colorful fish, and I felt it was a highly satisfying tour. I think you will definitely get sunburned, so sunscreen is a must! I forgot to apply it on my calves and ended up very red, haha. For those participating, be careful with your calves and the tops of your feet. That said, I’m really glad I participated. I highly recommend this tour.

青のコントラスト、海の中に立っている不思議な体験、海ガメさんにもたくさん出会えてとても素晴らしい体験ができました。^ ^クルーの皆さんも参加者全員が楽しめるようにとても気を配ってくれたので、とても良かったです。ありがとうございました！ハンバーガーもジューシーでとても美味しかったです。船から沖に進みますがほとんど揺れることもないので酔いやすい私でも大丈夫でした。シュノーケリングのポイントではカラフルなお魚もたくさんいて満足度の高いツアーだと感じました。日焼けは多分とてもすると思いますので日焼け止めは必須です！私はふくらはぎに塗り忘れて真っ赤になりました笑笑 参加される方、ふくらはぎと足の甲要注意です。とはいえ、参加して本当に良かったです。おススメのツアーです。

At Sandbar Beach, I couldn't see the sandy beach due to the water level being up to my waist on the day of the tour, but I still had a good time. The lunch was plentiful and delicious. I was able to see some sea turtles from the boat as well. I saw a decent amount of fish while snorkeling, and overall, I was satisfied.

サンドバービーチはツアー参加日腰くらいまでの水で砂浜は見れませんでしたが、それでもそれなりに楽しめました。お昼もボリュームが満点で美味しく頂けました。ウミガメも船の上からでしたがそれなりに見れました。シュノーケルはお魚もそこそこ見れて、全体的には満足です。

It started with a fun and easy-to-understand explanation from Yuki, who perfectly embodied the image of a Hawaiian sister, complete with laughter. The sandbar only appears at the perfect timing, which is difficult since it's a natural phenomenon. Unfortunately, it didn't appear during our visit. All the other staff members, besides Yuki, were friendly and kind. The lunch was also quite substantial. On the day we participated, the weather was rainy and cloudy, but it miraculously cleared up just in time for the sandbar, turtle watching, and snorkeling. As soon as we finished and returned to the port, it started to rain again, so we were really lucky. We were able to see many turtles. It was a lot of fun.

ザ・ハワイのお姉さまっというイメージ通りなユキさんのわかりやすく笑いありの楽しい説明から始まりました。サンドバー自体は絶好のタイミングでのみ砂浜が出てくる事らしく、自然の事なので難しいですね。私たちの時は出現せずでした。ユキさん以外のスタッフの方皆さんも気さくで親切でした。ランチもボリュームありです。私たちの参加日の天気は雨と曇りで、ちょうどサンドバー、ウミガメウォッチング、シュノーケリングのタイミングだけは晴れて、全て終わって港に着いたら雨が降り出し、本当にラッキーでした。ウミガメもたくさん見れました。楽しかったです。

Manoa Falls was a different waterfall due to the impact of the hurricane (rockfall), but I was able to fully enjoy the unique flowers and plants of Hawaii. The walking distance was just right, and I could take my time while taking photos. The vegan lunch was also incredibly delicious, featuring only healthy options like vegetables and hijiki!

マノアの滝は、ハリケーンの影響(落石)で、別の滝でしたが、ハワイ特有の花や植物を充分に楽しめました(^-^)歩く距離も丁度良く、写真も取りながらのんびり行くことが出来ました。
ビーガンのランチも、野菜やひじきなど体に優しいものばかりで凄く美味しかったです！

- Although it's called Sandbar, due to the tides, it wasn't a sandy beach but just a shallow area. The height was about thigh-deep.
- During snorkeling, I didn't see a single fish in the 20 minutes.
- There were a lot of people, and it was quite crowded.
- However, the sea turtle watching was great, and I could see them well.
- The staff members were very friendly and fun.

・サンドバーといいつつ、潮の満ち引きの関係で、砂浜にはならずに、ただの浅瀬でした。高さは太ももあたり。
・シュノーケリングは、正味20分で魚は一匹も見えなかったです。
・人も多くてかなりの混雑でした
・ただ、ウミガメウォッチはよく見えて良かったです。
・スタッフの方々はとても気さくで楽しいみなさんでした。

The contrast between the "whiteness" of the shallow areas with coral sand and the "blueness" of the deep sea is very beautiful and amazing. It was also my first snorkeling experience, and I had a lot of fun.

サンゴの砂で浅瀬になっている部分の「白さ」と深い海となっている所の「碧さ」のコントラストがとても綺麗で、最高です。
シュノーケリング体験も初めてでしたが、楽しかったです。

You can be separated into groups of Japanese and non-Japanese participants! So, while the Japanese side was a bit crowded, I think everyone had their own seats and could relax except when gathering for explanations.

First, we went to the sandbar for snorkeling practice! It was incredibly beautiful! Don't worry, there’s plenty of time for taking photos and playing ☻ Just keep in mind that depending on the time, the water can come up to your waist, so I think it's best to check in advance before participating!

After that, we moved on, and during that time, they grilled meat for our hamburger lunch! It was so delicious that I finished it in no time! You can drink beverages for free whenever you want! Only the alcohol is settled afterward!

Then we went turtle watching, and finally, we had more snorkeling! There was plenty of time for that too! They provide lifeguards, fins, and snorkeling masks, so you don’t need to prepare anything!

However, it was quite windy and cold during the move, so a jacket is essential! There are no towels provided, so make sure to bring one! But I think it will dry quickly because of the strong wind!

The meeting place is in front of the green hut at the back! Since I wasn't exactly on time, there's no need to rush if you arrive a bit late for the gathering time (laughs).

I had so much fun that I want to participate again!

日本人と、それ以外の方でボートを分けられます！なので日本人側は若干混んでいましたが説明で上に集まる時以外は皆さん各自席がありゆっくりできたと思います。

まずは、サンドバーに行ってシュノーケリングの練習！すごく綺麗でした！写真を撮る時間も遊ぶ時間もたくさんあるので安心してください☻ただ時間によっては海が腰あたりまで来るのであらかじめ自分で調べて参加するのがいいかと思います！

その後移動して、その間に焼いてくれたお肉でハンバーガーランチ！これがすごーく美味しくてあっという間に食べちゃいました！
飲み物も飲みたい時にタダで飲めます！お酒だけ事後精算です！

その後ウミガメウォッチングをして、最後はシュノーケリング！こちらも時間はたくさんありました！ライフガード、フィン、シュノーケリングのマスク等すべて貸してくださるので用意は不要です！

ただ、移動中は風が強くて寒いので上着は必須です！タオルも貸し出しはないのでどちらかを持ってくれば！でも、風が強くて乾くので大丈夫だとも思います！

集合場所は奥の方にあるの緑の小屋の前です！時間ぴったりではなかったので、集合時間に来なくても焦らなくて大丈夫です（笑）

また参加したいと思うほど楽しかったです！

We chose the best day during our stay, but honestly, the sandbar wasn't as shallow as we expected. However, fortunately, the weather was great, and we got to see truly wonderful views, so I am very satisfied.
When selecting a tour, it seems that encountering a shallower sandbar depends on the tour duration and the timing of low tide.
It was fun.

私達は、滞在期間の中で一番良い条件の日を選びましたが、正直期待していたほどサンドバーは浅くなかったです。でも幸運なことに天候に恵まれて本当に素晴らしい景色が見られたので、私は大満足です。
ツアーを選ぶにあたって、より浅いサンドバーに出会えるのは、ツアー時間と、浅い干潮時の時刻が近いことだそうです。
楽しかったです。

I chose the day with the best conditions during my stay, as it was the closest to low tide time. Luckily, it was sunny, and I was able to see a beautiful, clear ocean.

On the day we participated, there were a lot of people, and two boats went out together. After arriving at the sandbar, we split into those who wanted to relax and those who wanted to snorkel. The snorkeling felt like everyone was swimming in a line in the same spot, so depending on the number of participants, it might feel a bit lacking for those who want to swim while observing slowly. However, I enjoyed it overall because I got to see beautiful scenery.

干潮の浅い日が狙い目ということで、干潮時間がツアー時間に一番近い、滞在中で一番条件が良い日を選びました。ラッキーなことに、晴天で、綺麗で透き通った海を見ることができました。

私たちが参加した日は人数が大変多くて、２台のボートが一緒に出ました。サンドバーに到着した後、ゆっくり過ごしたい人、シュノーケルをしたい人で分かれます。シュノーケリングは、みんなで一斉に同じ場所を一列で泳いでいく感じだったので、参加人数にもよりますが、ゆっくり観察しながら泳ぎたい人には物足りなく感じるかもしれません。キレイな景色が見れたので、全体的に私はとっても楽しめました。

My wife, grandmother, and our children aged 4 and 6 participated. The scenery was wonderful, and the teacher was very cheerful. It seems like it became a great memory.

4歳と6歳の子供と妻と祖母が参加しました。景色が素晴らしく、先生もとてもあかるい。
良い思い出になったみたいです。

I chose this tour based on checking the tide and finding a good location at a reasonable time. I saw plenty of sea turtles, but I would have been a bit more satisfied if we had gone to the sandbar before the tide rose. The water level was rising quickly, and by the time we left, it had become quite deep. During snorkeling, I could see the fish well, but there were so many people that it felt like a hot spring. I ended up seeing more people's feet than fish. Overall, the weather was nice, and I saw what I expected, so it was as anticipated. It has a cliché feel, but it seems to be a must-do tour.

潮位を調べて、かつ、できるだけましな時間で場所も良い、という観点からこのツアーを選びました。ウミガメはたくさん見れましたが、先に潮位が高くなる前にサンドバーへ行ってくれると、もう少し満足できたような。みるみる水位が上がってきて、帰るころにはかなり深くなっていました。シュノーケリングでは魚がしっかり見れましたが、あまりにも人が多くて、温泉状態。魚より人の足の方をたくさん見た、という感じです。一応、天気も良く、見るもの見たので、予想どおりというところでしょうか。ベタなところですが外せないツアーなのかな、という印象です。

It seems that the phases of the moon and the tides are related. Rather than a sandbar, it was a beautiful sea that came up to my waist. The water was very clear, and I encountered many sea turtles on the way to the sandbar.

At first, when I entered the water, I thought, "It's cold!" but I got used to it after a while. Also, for all the smokers out there! Smoking is prohibited on the boat, but you can smoke in the water! I think having a smoke while standing in the waist-deep water is exceptional, so I recommend bringing your cigarettes!

As for snorkeling, the mask was covered in fine scratches and didn't have anti-fog treatment, so it fogged up quickly after just 2-3 minutes. Additionally, since we were swimming in a group next to the coral, the water became murky and it was hard to see, causing the fish to flee. There were many people who weren't used to it, so it inevitably became a bit crowded.

Participation in snorkeling seems to be optional, so it might be more meaningful to play around the boat. If you're mainly looking to snorkel and seeking the sandbar mentioned in guidebooks, I wouldn't particularly recommend it.

The staff from the tour company were cheerful, friendly, and kind, which was very nice. The sandwiches for lunch were also delicious.

月の満ち欠けと、潮の満ち引きが関係しているらしく
サンドバーっていうよりかは腰までくる綺麗な海でした
透明度が高くて、サンドバーに付くまでの間にウミガメにもたくさん会えました

最初、海に入ったときは「冷たい！」と思いますが、入っているうちに慣れていく感じ
あとは愛煙家の皆さん！！
船の中では禁煙ですが、海の中では喫煙できますよ！！
腰の高さまである海の中での一服は格別だと思われますので、愛煙家の皆さんはお煙草持って行くのをオススメします！！

シュノーケルは、マスクが細かい傷だらけなのと、曇り止めをしていないので2～3分付けていたらすぐ曇ってしまいます
あと、やはり団体で珊瑚の横を泳ぐので、水が濁って見えづらくなる＆魚が逃げます
慣れてない人もたくさんいらっしゃるので、どうしても芋洗い状態になってしまうのだと思います

シュノーケルの参加は自由みたいなので、船のまわりでシャパシャパ遊んでる方が有意義かもしれません
シュノーケルをメインに考えている＆ガイドブックに載ってるサンドバーを求めている方には、あまりオススメはしません

催行会社の方々は、陽気で気さく、優しい方が多いのでそこはとても良かったです
お昼のサンドイッチも美味しかった

By chance, all the tour participants were Japanese, so we had a guide in Japanese. During the drive from Waikiki to Manoa, we had a great time with bright self-introductions and learning about popular local shops in Hawaii.

Due to my age, I was worried about not being able to keep up with the others, but the guide made sure to stop at key points and kept the pace slow, which I really appreciated.

The explanations about the plants were detailed and interesting. If I had been hiking alone, I think I would have missed noticing the fruits high up in the trees and the differences between invasive and native plants.

The waterfall at the destination was magnificent. Although there were people who entered the water despite the restrictions due to infection risks, I understand their feelings (laughs).

I'm really glad I had such a fun time. Thank you, guides Toshi and Yuna!

偶然、ツアー参加者が全員日本人でしたので、日本語でガイドしてもらいました。
ワイキキからマノアに向かう車の中から、明るく自己紹介をしてもらったり、ハワイの現地の人たちに人気のお店を教えてもらったりと、楽しく過ごせました。
私は年齢もあって早く歩けないので、周りの方々の足を引っ張らないか不安でしたが、ガイドさんが要所要所立ち止まって、ペースをゆっくりに保ってもらえました。本当にありがたかったです。
植物の説明も詳しくて面白かったです。個人で登っていたら、高い木の上に果物が生っていることや、外来種と原産種の植物の違いに、気付かないで通り過ぎていたと思います。
ゴール地点の滝は見事なものでした。感染症の危険があるので入水制限されているのに滝壺に入ってしまっている人たちがいましたが、気持ちはわかります(笑)。
本当に楽しい時間を過ごせて良かったです。ガイドのトシさん、ユナさん、ありがとうございました。
