All Reviews for Lunch & Breakfast Experiences

I was worried it would be disappointing if it rained at the sandbar, but we were blessed with wonderful weather, and I got to see many sea turtles. The sandwiches for our light meal were delicious, and our guide was fantastic. However, one thing that was a bit disappointing for me was that the sandbar was only knee-deep in seawater, which was different from the image I had seen on TV.

サンドバーまで行って雨だったら残念と思っていましたが
すばらしい天気にめぐまれ海がめにもたくさん合えたし
軽食のサンドイッチも美味しくガイドさんのおもしろさも
最高でしたが１つ自分なりに残念だったのが
サンドバーが海水でひざ下ほどありテレビで見たイメージと違って
いたことです

Tour guide/driver was very good. He presented interesting and important facts about what we were going to see and hear. Kept the group organized as far as time factors. Provided interesting facts about the islands.

This was my first sandbar experience, and I was super excited! Until yesterday, the weather had been completely clear! But today... it’s all gloomy~~ and there’s even a bit of light rain. When we arrived at the yacht harbor, the rain had stopped, but the sky was still overcast. It was a bit chilly, but we gathered our spirits and set sail for turtle watching.

At 11 o'clock, we spotted a manta ray—wait, a manta ray? Apparently, the chances of seeing one are lower than that of seeing a sea turtle. Lucky us! We were able to see plenty of sea turtles and then headed to the sandbar. The tide was as expected since we checked it beforehand; it was a bit cold at first, but we got used to it quickly. It felt amazing!! Even though it was cloudy, the clear sea was beautiful—if only the weather had been nice, it would have been perfect! Why did it have to be like this just on this day? Plus, it cleared up in the afternoon. I guess it’s just my bad luck... something to work on for next time.

初めてのサンドバー体験ですテンションＭＡＸ！昨日まででずーっと快晴！今日は・・ど、ど、どんより～～しかも小雨まじり。ヨットハーバーに到着時雨はあがったものの、相変わらず曇り空。肌寒いが、気を取り直していざ出航ウミガメウォッチへ。１１時の方向マンタ～　えっ？マンタ？でもウミガメより見れる確率が少ないそうだ。ラッキー！無事ウミガメもいっぱい見れてサンドバーへ。潮位は事前確認済みの為だいたい予想どうり、入り始めは少し冷たいがすぐ慣れる。しかし気持ちいい！！曇りでも透きとおった海はキレイだ～これで天気が良ければサイコーだったのになぜこの日だけ？しかも午後は晴れ。自分の運の悪さか・・次回の課題です。

This activity was a highlight of our trip! The crew was great & we had a blast snorkeling/Snuba-ing! We highly suggest doing the SNUBA! Ross was our guide, and helped make us feel comfortable with everything and helped make our experience great! Food and Drinks were an added bonus. Didn't see any Dolphins, but plenty of beautiful fish, starfish, & turtles. Would do this again in a heartbeat!

We had a wonderful day in our honeymoon! beautiful sea,amazing view,and nice people.I never think about this trip can be unbelievable!

The wind was strong and it was cloudy, so it was a bit chilly, but the clear blue sea was really beautiful. I was glad to encounter a manta ray. The crew was cheerful and it was a lot of fun. P.S. It's a good idea to research the tide times in advance and decide on the departure time accordingly.

風が強く曇っていたので、少し肌寒さはありましたが透きとおったブルーの海はすごくキレイでした。マンタに遭遇することが出来て良かったです。クルーの皆さんも陽気で楽しかったです。追伸:潮の満ち引きの時間は事前に
リサーチして、出港時間を決めた方が良いですよ。

The sandbar was shallow and beautiful, and even my husband, who isn't fond of the sea, enjoyed it. We played volleyball together, listened to guitar performances on the boat, and the hamburgers for lunch were delicious!

サンドバーは、水位か浅く綺麗で、海が苦手な主人も楽しんでました。皆でバレーボールしたり、船内ではギターの弾き語りが聞けたり、お昼ご飯のハンバーガーも美味しかったです♪

It was a rare bad weather day that happens once a year, but the sea was still beautiful.

I was a bit surprised to see the staff rolling up the hamburger buns for lunch and throwing them at each other like a snowball fight. I guess the sense of fun is a bit different from what I'm used to in Japan. Next time, I’ll choose a different tour.

一年に一度あるかないかの悪天候でしたが、それでも綺麗な海でした。

スタッフがお昼のハンバーガーのバンズを丸めてお互いに雪合戦のように投げ合っていてちょっとビックリしました。
やっぱり日本人とは感覚が違うのかなぁ。
今度は別のツアーにします。

Thoroughly enjoyed the tour. The crew were great and everything went well.

Saw Dolphins/ turtles and plenty of marine life.

Snorkelling was great. Also upgraded to snuba which was really good and definitely worth it.

We were picked up at 5 AM, and after an 8-hour tour, we arrived at the hotel around 1:30 PM. The program was well-structured, and we had a very fulfilling time. It became a wonderful memory, and I highly recommend it.

First, we were greeted by the bus, where a cheerful Japanese crew member and a beautiful foreign photographer explained the day's itinerary. They also offered us the chance to purchase a USB with photos for $60. It wasn't a hard sell, so you could decline, and since I brought my underwater digital camera, I opted out. However, it seemed that quite a few people ended up purchasing it. Those who bought the USB received a wristband and were prioritized for photos, but the crew also took plenty of pictures of those who didn't buy it, so the USB was filled with photos of other participants. This was a bit embarrassing for those who didn't purchase it, and I wish they would reconsider that practice. By the way, the crew also took photos with my own underwater camera while on the boat. Wet suits are available for rent at $10, and you can get a refund if you don't end up wearing it, which is a nice system. I didn't rent one and just wore a long-sleeve rash guard on top. It was October, but it wasn't cold.

Onboard, the cheerful crew provided great hospitality, allowing everyone to enjoy a fun atmosphere. While cruising, we admired the mountains of West Oahu, spotted rainbows, and found dolphins that jumped in one after another. The water was quite deep and there were waves, but we followed the crew closely and were able to see many dolphins. It was a wonderful experience to see wild dolphins swimming freely in the coral reef waters. There were dozens of dolphins, swimming in groups of 5 to 10, and they came close to us repeatedly.

I felt satisfied when we returned to the boat, but a few people were seasick. I took anti-nausea medication before boarding, but even those who usually don’t get seasick might find it essential. For those prone to seasickness, sitting on the open deck of the boat seems to be a better option. At this time, we were given pineapple.

After that, we enjoyed three hula dance performances (the professional hula dancer was cute and wonderful), and we snorkeled for just under an hour at the turtle spot. We saw three sea turtles and many fish, making it a very enjoyable snorkeling experience. You can also kayak and slide into the sea from the boat. It was a return to childhood fun. Later, we had cheeseburgers (with purple taro buns) and Maui chips while enjoying the fantastic views from the boat. The burger was delicious against the backdrop of the beautiful scenery. Finally, we took a group photo with the crew and all participants, which they sent to us for free via email. By the way, water and lemonade were available for unlimited drinks on the boat.

Perhaps due to the large number of participants, there was no announcement for the hula lesson.

After getting off the boat, we went to the port's restroom (which is spacious and clean), and I recommend changing there quickly.

Overall, the tour was well-structured, and we got to see both dolphins and sea turtles perfectly. It was a highly satisfying experience, and I would love to participate again.

朝5時台にお迎え、ホテルについたのは13時半ごろの8時間長のツアーでしたが、よく練られたプログラム構成で、とても充実した時間でした。素晴らしい思い出となりました。お勧めします。
まず、バスのお迎えがあり、日本人クルーの元気なお姉さんと美人な外国人のカメラマンさんが車中、本日の行程について説明してくれ、写真が入ったＵＳＢ（60ドル）を購入するか、案内があります。決して押し売りではないので断ることもできますし、私は水中デジカメを持参したので断りましたが、かなりの人が購入しているようでした。ＵＳＢを購入する人はリストバンドをもらい、重点的に撮ってもらえるシステムのようですが、購入しない私たちの写真もバシバシ撮っていたので、ＵＳＢにはほかの参加者の写真が満載です。。これは、特に購入しないものにとっては、恥ずかしいし、やめてほしいと思いました。ちなみに船上では持参の水中デジカメでも、クルー自ら写真を撮ってくれました。ウエットスーツは10ドルでレンタルできますし、借りたけど実際に着なければ返金されるとのことで親切なシステムでした。私は借りずに上のみ長袖ラッシュガードを来ていました。10月でしたが寒くはなかったです。
船上では陽気なクルーがホスピタリティーをもってもてなしてくれ、みんなで楽しい気分で時間を過ごすことができました。クルージングをしながら西オアフの山々を眺め、虹をみつけ、イルカがみつかり、次々に飛び込みます。かなり深いですし、波もありますが、ここは必死でクルーについていき、たくさんのイルカをみることができました。サンゴ礁の海の中で自由に泳いでいる野生のイルカをみるのは、なんとも素敵な体験でした。イルカは数十頭いて、5-10頭で固まって泳いでいて、次々に近くにきました。
満足した気分で船にあがりましたが、何人かが船酔い・波酔いではいてました。私も吐き気止めを飲んで乗船しましたが、普段酔わない人でも、吐き気止めは必須かと思います。また、酔いやすい人は、船の中でもオープンな甲板に座るほうがよさそうです。このタイミングでパイナップルをもらいました。
その後、3曲フラダンスを踊ってくれ（プロのフラダンサーの女の子でかわいくて素敵でした）、ウミガメスポットで1時間弱シュノーケルしました。ウミガメは3匹、魚もたくさんいて、とても楽しいシュノーケルでした。また、カヤックや滑り台（船の上から海にとびこみます）もできます。童心にかえり、遊びました。その後、船上でチーズバーガー（タロイモの紫のパンズ）とマウイチップスを食べました。船上の素晴らしい景色を見ながらのバーガーはとてもおいしかったです。最後にクルーと参加者全員で写真をとり、これはメールで無料で送ってくれます。ちなみに船上では水とレモネードが飲み放題です。
参加者が多かったからか、フラレッスンは案内がありませんでした。
　船からおりたら港のトイレ（ひろくてきれいです）にいきますが、ここでササっと着替えることをお勧めします。
上記の流れになりますが、よく練られた構成で、イルカもウミガメもばっちり見えましたり、大満足のツアーでした。ぜひもう一度参加したいです。

This time, we all went to Hawaii for my wedding, with friends and family joining us.
However, the sandbar did not appear...

We miscalculated the timing.

We went from morning until noon.
With this timing, we had to leave before the tide went out.
Since we had a little one with us, we planned to leave early, but it's better to stay until the afternoon!

When we stayed until the afternoon, we were able to see it!!

It's really beautiful when you can see it☆

今回は私の結婚式でみんなでハワイに行き、友達も私の家族もいてみんなで行きました。
しかし、サンドバーは現れず…

時間帯に失敗しました。

私たちが行ったのは朝からお昼まで。
この時間帯だと水が引ける前に帰ることになります。
チビがいたから早めに帰るプランにしましたが、昼過ぎまでいたほうがいいです！

昼過ぎまでいた時は見れました！！

見れるととても綺麗ですよ☆

The weather was nice, and I was able to see the sea turtles and coral clearly. The local staff were friendly, making it a satisfying tour.

天気がよくウミガメも珊瑚もクリアに見ることができました。
現地スタッフもフレンドリーな対応で満足のツアーになりました。

The weather was absolutely perfect. I got to see sea turtles, and snorkeling was amazing. The hamburger was delicious too. They lend you snorkeling gear, but I should have brought my own! There were a lot of fish, but the water was a bit murky, so Okinawa might be clearer. However, the guide was really nice!

天気が最高によかった。ウミガメも見れたし、シュノーケルが最高。ご飯もハンバーガー美味しかった。シュノーケルは貸してもらえるけど自分の持っていけばよかった！魚もたくさんいたけど、海は少し濁ってたから、沖縄の方が綺麗かも。。だけど、ガイドさんも素敵なかんじだった！！

It was a fantastic time, except for the cold water that came up to my waist during high tide! I was amazed by the beautiful sea, just like in the pictures!! A turtle even swam close to me (*^^)v The light meal was really delicious sandwiches, even better than they looked (sorry for the assumption) ★★★ I will definitely join again the next time I go to Hawaii!

満潮時間だったので腰まで浸かる水が冷たかったこと以外は最高の時間でした！
お写真通りの綺麗な海に感動！！
カメさんも近くまで泳いで来てくれました(*^^)v
軽食も見た目以上に（失礼）本当に美味しいサンドイッチでした★★★
次回ハワイに行くときも絶対に参加します！

I participated in Heaven's Sea with high expectations, and I was completely satisfied! I had researched the tide in advance, so I knew it would be high tide, and after landing on the sandbar, I didn't have to worry about the rising water level. More than that, we were blessed with great weather, and I could feel the blue of the sky and the blue of the sea all around me. The tour ended in the blink of an eye. Fun times always seem to fly by, right? (laughs) During the tour, I was also able to see a honu! I definitely want to go back to Heaven's Sea.

かなり期待をして参加した天国の海、もう大満足でした！潮位も予め調べて参加したので、満ち潮であることも調査済みでしたので、サンドバーに上陸後、水位が上がってきても気にすることはありませんでした。それよりも、天気に恵まれ、空の青、海の青を全身で感じることが出来、ツアーはあっという間に終わりました。楽しい時間はすぐに終わってしまいますね笑
ツアー中はホヌにも会うことが出来ました！天国の海、是非また行きたいです。

On the bus heading to the sandbar, a cheerful older man was talking non-stop in English, so it might be tough for those who are not good at English. Since the air conditioning was very strong, I think it's a good idea to bring something to wear over your clothes.
As for the sandbar... I had imagined it based on the photos on the website, but in reality, the water came up to about my waist. I guess it's my fault for not knowing that was a possibility.
The BBQ lunch was just a regular hamburger. It was quite ordinary.
I think I saw about two sea turtles?
For snorkeling, they took us to a place with coral and said, "Please feel free to swim." The weather was bad and it was very cold.
I was disappointed because I had high expectations. I felt it was a waste to spend a whole day like this. If the weather had been good, it might have been different.

サンドバーへ向かうバスの中は、陽気なおじさんがひたすら英語でしゃべっていたので、英語が苦手な方はつらいかも？クーラーガンガンなので、羽織るものを持っていくとよいと思います。
サンドバーは。。。ＨＰに掲載されている写真をイメージしていましたが、実際は腰の辺りまで海面がきていました。その可能性があること知らなかった自分が悪いですね。
ＢＢＱランチはただのハンバーガーです。至って普通です。
ウミガメは２頭ぐらい見えたかな？って感じです。
シュノーケリングも、サンゴのある所に連れて行ってくれて、「どうぞ自由に泳いでください」みたいな感じです。天気も悪く、とても寒かったです。
期待しすぎた分、がっかりしました。私は、これで一日がつぶれるのはもったいないと感じました。天気が良ければ違ったかもしれませんね。

This was one of the most enjoyable and informative tours I have been on, Tiffany was an excellent and knowledgeable host this tour offers more than the tour description indicates and includes detailed interesting natural fauna information. I can highly recomend this very enjoyable tour and is excellent value for money the shrimp meal was enjoyable. Well done Tiffany for making our day day an enjoyable one.

Great crew as it was full service. Food and drinks were good and plenty to go around. Water was very clear. We saw a white tip shark, turtle, plenty of colorful fish and an amazing starfish which was like a spider. Ross was our personal Snubba coach and he was top professional. Yes we would do it again.

I participated with my 80-year-old mother. The guides were really kind and carried my mother to the sandbar. Thank you very much. Since the weather can change quickly, it's good to have something to cover up with, as well as an umbrella or raincoat. Bring a swimsuit, shorts, beach sandals, and a hotel towel. You can get on the bus just as you are on the way back. The snorkeling time is quite short, so it's best to think of it as just a little experience. You can see sea turtles and take photos at the sandbar, making for a really enjoyable half-day.

80才の母と参加しました。ガイドさんたちが本当に親切で、母を抱えてサンドバーまで連れてきてくれました。ありがとうございました。天候が変わりやすいので何かはおるものと傘か合羽があると良いです。水着に短パン、ビーチサンダル、ホテルのタオル。帰りはそのままバスに乗り込めます。シュノーケルの時間はほんの少しなので、体験程度と思った方が良いです。ウミガメを見たりサンドバーで写真を撮ったり、なかなか楽しい半日が過ごせますよ。

The day we arrived at the sandbar was just at low tide, so we were able to stay for about two hours. We snorkeled and took photos. We were also able to see honu (sea turtles) nearby. I had seen it in commercials and had always wanted to visit, and it was indeed a beautiful place, just as I expected. I think it's a good idea to check the tide schedule before booking a tour.

サンドバーにあがったその日はちょうど干潮でしたので２時間くらい滞在することができました。シュノーケルしたり写真を撮ったり。近くではホヌ(海がめ)を見ることもできました。ＣＭでも見たことがあって、一度は行ってみたいと思っていましたが、予想通りほんとに綺麗な場所でした。ツアーに参加予約される前に潮の干満を調べておいた方が良いと思います。

Reccomend this activity for those who can swim and in good shape. I've always wanted to scuba dive and this was a great solution without buy equipment.Ross was the instructor who took great care for our safety. Fish, starfish, urchins, shark and a huge turtle were seen. Fabulous experience.

The day we participated was cloudy, and the water level was high, so we couldn't see the sandbar. However, the water was incredibly clear, and it was transparent in the shallow areas. In the snorkeling spots, it was a bit dark and murky, but we could see plenty of fish and coral. And the hamburger for lunch was really delicious! (laughs)

私たちが参加した日は曇りで水位も高くサンドバーは見れませんでした‐‐；
ですが水はめちゃくちゃ綺麗で浅瀬では透き通っていました。シュノーケリングする所では
多少暗くて濁ってはいましたが、魚や珊瑚もばっちり見れました＾＾
そしてお昼のハンバーガーがめっちゃ美味しかったです！！(笑)

Snorkeling was fun! I was able to see fish! On the way back on the bus, it was too cold. I wished they wouldn't blast the air conditioning since everyone was wet.

シュノーケリング楽しかった！魚もみれました！帰りのバスの中、寒すぎ。みんな体濡れているから、クーラーガンガンつけないでほしかった

This time, I participated in a family trip with three generations. Since I have a 0-year-old and a 2-year-old, I chose this tour that allows children to join. The guide was very kind and attentive to the kids. Additionally, we were able to take photos in various poses, resulting in wonderful memories. I would like to participate again the next time I go to Hawaii.

今回は3世代での家族旅行で参加させて頂きました。0歳と2歳の子供がいるので子供参加オーケーのこのツアーを選びました。
ガイドの方は大変親切で子供にも気を配って頂きました。また、写真を様々なポーズで撮って頂きとても良い思い出写真が出来ました。次回ハワイに行く際もまた参加したいと思います。

I had been searching for a tour where I could see and swim with dolphins in the ocean, and I finally found one. I was truly moved when I spotted a pod of dolphins swimming. Moreover, I was able to hear their calls, which was a very precious experience.

The underwater world was amazing, but the view of the mountains, landscapes, and sky from the surface was also incredibly beautiful. I was able to fully immerse myself in nature by diving and floating on my back.

After dolphin watching, there was free time for snorkeling, stand-up paddleboarding, and canoeing, allowing everyone to enjoy their time in the ocean. I was thrilled to swim alongside a sea turtle, and it was so cute.

Unfortunately, there was a sudden issue with another guest that required us to return to the port, so I was disappointed that I couldn't enjoy the anticipated BBQ on the boat or the hula lesson. However, I felt reassured by the crew's quick response and believe this is a tour I can participate in with confidence.

I would love to join again if the opportunity arises. The taro burger was also delicious.

海の中でイルカを見たり、泳げたり出来るツアーをずっと探していてやっと出会えたツアーです。
イルカの群れを見つけ泳ぐ姿を目にした時は本当に感動しました。
しかもイルカの鳴き声も聞くことが出来て、とても貴重な体験をさせていただきました。
水の中の世界も素晴らしかったけど、水面から見える山や、風景、空の景色も最高にきれいで、もぐったり、仰向けで浮かんだりと大自然を身体いっぱいに感じることが出来ました。
イルカウォッチングの後にはフリーのシュノーケルの時間やサップ、カヌー等のアクティビティもあり、海あそびをそれぞれが思い思いに、楽しむ時間もあり楽しかったです。
その時にウミガメも真横で一緒に泳ぐことが出来てうれしかったし、とてもかわいかったです。
途中他のお客さんにトラブルがあり急遽港に戻ることになったので、楽しみにしていた船上ＢＢＱやフラレッスンが楽しめなかったのがとても残念でしたが、その時のクルーの人達の迅速な対応を見て安心して参加出来るツアーだと思いました。
また機会があれば参加したいと思います。
タロイモバーガーも美味しかったです。

I was worried because it was early in the morning, but surprisingly, it was fine. I took a bus for about 45 minutes to the port, and after a 10-minute boat ride, we arrived at the sandbar. The short boat ride meant I didn't get seasick and was able to enjoy it fully. I had planned to go snorkeling, but unfortunately, it was canceled that day due to faster waves than usual. I hope to participate again next time and enjoy snorkeling. The excitement of standing on the sandbar is something you have to experience to understand. I'm glad I participated.

早朝なので心配していたのですが、意外に大丈夫でした。港まで45分位バスに乗り、10分位の乗船でサンドバーに着きました。短い乗船なので船酔いする事もなく十分楽しめました。シュノーケリングをする予定だったのですが、その日はいつもより波が速いとの事で中止になり残念でした。次回はまたぜひ参加してシュノーケリングを楽しめればと思います。サンドバーに立った時の感激は経験してみないとわかりません。参加して良かったと思っています。

This was my second time in Hawaii, and I experienced snorkeling for the first time on this tour.

I must say, the quality at this price is exceptional—wonderful sea, food, and time management. There are Japanese staff members present, and there are restrooms on the boat. Drinks are free, and alcohol, including beer and wine, is all $5, payable on the spot.

When sea turtles appear, the staff shouts, "Look at 9 o'clock! 3 o'clock! 1 o'clock!" as they briefly come up for air. I saw many of them too!

Moreover, this is the sea of Sandbar, where my favorite movie Top Gun, starring Tom Cruise, was filmed, as well as scenes from Pirates of the Caribbean. It was truly moving. I highly recommend it.

As the season changes, it can get a bit chilly. A jacket or something similar is essential, and there are warm drinks available. You can return to the hotel in your swimsuit!

This is a half-day optional tour, and it starts early but is very satisfying overall. Thank you very much!

Thanks to this experience, I am now planning my first diving trip in Kerama, Japan.

ハワイは二回目で、初のシュノーケルをこのツア－で体験しました。

なんと言ってもこのプライスでここまでのクオリティはないかなあと言う位 素晴らしい海、食事、時間配分でした。
ちゃんと日本人スタッフいますし、
船内にはトイレもあります。
飲み物も無料です。
アルコ－ルは ビ－ル、ワイン 全て5ドルで、その場で後から払います。


海ガメが出ると
｢はい九時の方向～❗、３時～❗、１時～❗｣と 一瞬 息つぎのために顔を出すのでスタッフが叫んでくれます。
私もたくさんみましたよ❤

しかも大好きなトムクル－ズ トップガンの撮影、
パイレーツカリビアンの撮影現場などがここサンドバ－の海。
感動もひとしおです。
絶対お勧めです。

今からの季節、少し寒くなります。
濡れてもいい、パーカ－などは必須です。
また温かい飲み物もあります。
ホテルには水着のまま帰れますよ✨

オプショナルとして半日のツア－だし、朝早くないし とにかく大満足のツア－
ありがとうございました

お陰さまで、次は日本の慶良間に初ダイビングを予定してます。

I visited with my 2 and 5-year-old children. The weather was nice, but the water depth at the sandbar was up to my chest, so it was disappointing that we couldn't see the sandy beach sandbar. There was also an incident where the boat's engine broke down, but the staff made a great effort to keep the atmosphere lively, which I appreciated.

Since the water was deep, I had to carry the kids the whole time. The enjoyment really changes with the water depth, so I think it's important to check the low tide online and consider going when there's a higher chance of the sandbar being exposed. Also, it gets cold on the bus and after coming out of the sea, so a jacket and towel are essential!

2歳5歳の子連れです。
天気は良かったのですが、サンドバーでは水深ご胸まであったので砂浜のサンドバーが見れず残念。船のエンジンが故障するアクシデントもありましたが、スタッフの皆さんが一生懸命盛り上げようとしてくれて好感が持てました。
水深が深かったので、子供はずっと抱っこでした。水深によって楽しさが変わるので、ネットで干潮を調べてサンドバーが出る可能性が高い時の参加を検討すべきだと思います。またバスの中と海から出た後は寒いので、上着とタオルは必需品です！

On the third day in Hawaii, I participated in a tour. I joined hoping to see dolphins, but unfortunately, I couldn't see any today... It seems quite difficult to encounter wild dolphins. I think it's better to be prepared for that when you sign up. However, I was able to see a sea turtle while snorkeling, which was great. We snorkeled in fairly deep water. I'm not very good at swimming, so I was a bit scared at first, but it was fine since we were in a group. I think it's reassuring that the staff keeps a close watch on us. There was also a photographer who took pictures both on the boat and in the water. However, it costs about $60 to purchase the USB. The boat to the dolphin viewing area rocks quite a bit, so if you're prone to seasickness, it's best to take some motion sickness medication beforehand. Lastly, you can enjoy a cheeseburger made by the captain, which was delicious. They also perform hula dancing. I was really disappointed not to see dolphins, but I had fun seeing the sea turtles and fish.

ハワイ3日目にツアーに参加しました。
イルカを見たくて参加したのですが、今日は運悪く見ることができませんでした…
自然のイルカに会うことは中々難しいみたいです…
お申し込みの際はそれを覚悟の上で申し込みされた方がいいと思います。
でも、シュノーケルの時にウミガメが見れたのでよかったです。
結構、深いところでシュノーケルをしました。
あまり泳ぎが得意ではないので最初は少し怖かったですが、団体で行動するので大丈夫でした。
スタッフの方もしっかり見ていてくれるので安心だと思います。
カメラマンの方もいらっしゃるので船の上や海の中も撮影してくれます。
でも、USBを購入するのに$60ぐらいかかります。
イルカを見る場所に行くまでのボートがかなり揺れますので、酔いやすい方は事前に酔い止めを飲んでおいた方がいいです。
最後に、キャプテンが作るチーズバーガーが食べれます。
おいしかったです。
フラダンスを踊ってくれたりもします。
イルカが見れなくて本当に残念でしたが、ウミガメや魚が見られて楽しかったです。

After about 40 minutes of being jostled on the bus early in the morning, we boarded a boat from a port-like area and enjoyed sea turtle watching while basking in the morning sun! The guide's explanations were not only easy to understand but also entertaining! Whenever a sea turtle surfaced, the guide would let us know, allowing us to see many turtles. However, since the turtles only appear on the surface for a few seconds, it can be a bit challenging to take photos from the boat.

After watching the sea turtles, we arrived at a sandbar. The scenery was indescribably mysterious! It was hard to tell whether it was the sea or land, shallow or deep... It felt as if we had wandered into an uninhabited island, surrounded by endless sea and mountains. We had about 40 minutes of free time here, so we swam a little, went snorkeling, and enjoyed the view from the boat before breakfast.

To be honest, I didn't have high expectations for breakfast, but the sandwiches we ate in nature tasted exceptional. It was like having homemade rice balls in the mountains during a hike in Japan. I completely forgot about everything else and felt so liberated. This was the first time I experienced such a wonderful morning.

It seems that the water level varies depending on the day, so I definitely want to participate in this tour again. It's worth it even if you have to wake up early!

朝早くからバスで揺られること４０分前後・・・
港のような所から船に乗り、朝の陽射しを浴びながら、ウミガメウォッチング！！
ガイドさんの説明もわかりやすいうえに面白い！！
ウミガメが水面に這い上がってくると、ガイドさんが逐一教えてくださるので、沢山のウミガメを見ることができました。
しかし、ウミガメが水面に姿を現すのは数秒のことなので、船からだと撮影するのは少し難しいです。
ウミガメを見てサンドバーに到着。
何とも言えぬ不思議な景色！！
海なのか陸なのか、浅瀬なのか沖なのか・・・
無人島に迷い込んでしまったかのような錯覚に陥りそうなほどの、果てしない海。そして山。
ここでは４０分程の自由行動があったので、軽く泳いだりシュノーケリングをしたり、船からの景色を楽しみ、いざ朝食。
朝食は正直言って期待していませんでしたが、自然のなかで食べるサンドイッチは絶品に思えました。
日本で言うとハイキングの途中で、山の中で食べる手作りのおにぎりといったところでしょうか。
日頃のことはすべて忘れて、開放的になりましたね。
こんなに素敵な朝を迎えたのは初めてです。
日によって水位が違うみたいなので、是非また参加したいと思えるツアーでした。
朝が早くても行く価値ありです！！
