The water temperature was a bit low and it was cold, but I was glad to encounter a sea turtle. It was my first time snorkeling, and my 10-year-old son was also happy.
There are several staff members who speak Japanese, and they provide explanations in Japanese as well. About 80% of the tourists are Japanese.
There are no changing rooms, so we went in our swimsuits and wiped off our wet bodies before getting on the bus for the return trip. Some people were changing in the restroom, but there are only three stalls, so it gets crowded. It might be tough for those who are not good with the cold.

水温がやや低く、寒かったですが、ウミガメとも遭遇できて良かったです。初めてのシュノーケリングでしたが、10歳の息子も喜んでいました。
スタッフには、日本語を話せる人が数名居て、説明は日本語でもしてくれますし、8割は日本人観光客です。
着替える場所は無いので、水着着用で行き、帰りは濡れた体を拭いてそのままバスに乗りました。トイレで着替えている方も居ましたが、３つしか無いので混みます。寒いのが苦手な人にはつらいかもしれません。

Our Movie Sites Tour driver was fun, knowledgeable and just a cool guy. The checkout lady at Auntie Pat’s Cafe was so friendly and funny. The whole day from pick-up to drop-off went so smoothly. We originally booked without transportation as we were going to rent a car but latter changed and added transportation. Kualoa staff are so professional. Highly recommend any tour there.

I participated in many tours in Hawaii, but the one I enjoyed the most was this tour. The crystal-clear surface of the ocean was breathtaking.

It was also a good decision to go during low tide as much as possible.

ハワイでたくさんツアーの参加しましたが、
一番参加してよかったのがこのツアー。
透き通る見事な海面は絶景でした。

なるべく干潮のときを狙って行ったのも正解でした。

Highly recommend this tour! Awesome staff and best experience during our vacation in Oahu!

The staff was fun, and we quickly made our way to the sandbar. The sea was beautiful, and it became a memorable experience! Thank you very much.

スタッフさんも楽しくってあっという間にサンドバーへ
海は綺麗だし思い出になりました！
ありがとうございました。

This is a cruise where you can enjoy a leisurely sunset. It sails from Aloha Tower to the area around Diamond Head and returns while you enjoy the sunset. From the sea, you can see the hotels of Waikiki and the sunset illuminating Diamond Head. The climax is the beautiful sunset. All the passengers went out onto the deck to enjoy the sunset. There is also live music on board, creating a fantastic atmosphere. You can also purchase light snacks, making it easy to enjoy the experience.

We drove on a bumpy forest road with a big truck, and the views of the Ko'olau Mountains and China Man Hat Island were very beautiful. The driver was a woman, and she was skilled at driving and very entertaining to talk to.

大きなトラックでガタガタ道のアップダウンの激しい林道を走り、コーラウ山脈や海にはChina Man Hat Islandが見えてとても綺麗でした。
とくにドライバーが女性で運転も上手でおしやべりがとても面白かった。

It was amazing to see sea turtles and colorful fish up close. The staff were very kind and provided explanations in Japanese, which made me feel very at ease! Participating was a great memory.

ウミガメやカラフルな魚たちを近くで見れたのが最高でした
スタッフの皆さんもとても親切で日本語での説明もしてくださったのでとても安心でした！
参加してとても良い記念になりました。

I participated in a tour with two friends. Due to the rainy season in October, the sandbar was deeper than I expected (about chest height), but we were able to fully enjoy the beautiful scenery of the white sandy area while playing with floaties. It was my first experience with snorkeling, and I wasn't very good at swimming, which made me anxious. However, wearing a life jacket made me feel safe, and there was a clear pre-lecture, practice time in shallow water, and several guides watching over us, so the support system was sufficient. It was scary to go deeper than I imagined (maybe due to the rainy season?), but while desperately keeping up, I was able to see coral and sea turtles, making it a valuable experience. We encountered sea turtles several times on the way to and from the tour, allowing us to feel the nature of Hawaii. The light snack of spam onigiri was also delicious. I thought the price was a bit high, but I believe it was worth it for the unique experience that only a tour can provide. I highly recommend it as it offers a valuable opportunity to connect with Hawaii's nature.

友人2人とツアーに参加しました。10月雨季だった影響もあり、サンドバーは思っていたより水深は深めでした（胸下あたり）が、浮き輪で遊びながら白い砂地の美しい景色を十分楽しめました。シュノーケリングは初体験で、あまり泳ぎも得意ではなく不安だったのですが、ライフジャケット装着で安心ですし、解りやすく事前にレクチャーあり、浅瀬での練習時間あり、ガイドさんが数名で見守ってくれるのでフォロー体制も十分でした。想像以上に深いところまでいくので怖かったですが（雨季の影響もあるかも？）、必死について行きながら、サンゴやウミガメも見れて貴重な体験ができ満足でした。行きも帰りも何度も船の上からウミガメに会う事ができ、ハワイの自然を感じる事ができました。軽食のスパムおにぎりも美味しかったです。少し値段はお高めかな？と思いましたが、ツアーだからこそ体験できる価値もあり参加してよかったと思っています。ハワイの自然に触れる貴重な体験ができるので、絶対おすすめです。

This was my third time participating. I usually can't see the sandbar. If it's waist-deep, that's better. During the accompanying snorkeling, I was able to see fish, corals, and turtles. The stand-up paddleboarding felt free with two people sharing one board, and I enjoyed it. This time, the weather was nice and not cold, but last time the bus was cold and it was quite uncomfortable. A dry towel and something to wear over are essentials.

3度目の参加でした。いつも基本的にはサンドバーは拝めません。腰丈ならましな方です。付随するシュノーケリングで魚とサンゴ、カメも見れました。SUPは二人ひとつで自由な感じ、楽しめました。今回は天気が良く寒く無かったですが、前回はバスが寒くて辟易としました。乾いたタオルと羽織るものが必需品です。

I was able to see the sea turtles! After playing with the floaties and stand-up paddleboarding, we went snorkeling! I saw the sea turtles multiple times!

ホヌが見れました！
浮き輪やsupで遊んだあと、シュノーケリングでした！
ホヌを何回も見れました！

I chose this tour because I wanted to visit Kaneohe Bay again for a scattering ceremony, as I had previously done so at the sandbar area. However, although it was advertised as a Kaneohe Bay cruise, it was not at all near the sandbar I wanted to go to, and instead, it cruised in a completely different area far from the sandbar.

The cruise itself was good; the boat was large, and we were able to see many turtles, but I think the tour name should be changed.

カネオエ湾(サンドバーのあたり)で散骨ツアーをしたので、7回忌に再度散骨したカネオエ湾へ行きたいと思い今回のツアーを選びました。しかしカネオエ湾クルーズと書いてありましたが私が行きたかったサンドバーあたりのカネオエ湾ではなく全然サンドバーからは遠い場所をクルーズするツアーでした。
クアロアランチからわりとすぐの海をクルーズするツアーでした。


クルーズ自体は船も大きく亀もたくさんみれて良かったですがツアー名は変えたほうがいいと思いました。

Seven years ago, my wife and I participated, but just a week before, I fractured my shoulder bone, so I couldn't join the snorkeling or SUP activities. I was envious watching my wife challenge SUP for the first time and quickly stand up.

This time, I was in perfect health and was able to fully enjoy snorkeling and SUP with my wife, which had been my long-held wish.

Seven years ago, there were few SUP boards available, and we couldn't ride much due to waiting in line, but now there are plenty, allowing us to play freely without waiting.

During snorkeling, I was deeply moved to quietly watch a sea turtle come right up to me.

With the end of COVID, there were more Japanese participants. Over 80% of the bus and boat passengers were Japanese, but there were no Japanese-speaking staff. The entire experience was conducted in English, and I think both the clientele and staff have changed since seven years ago.

Seven years ago, before getting on the return bus, I had time to change into dry clothes in the restroom, so I came prepared to change, but everyone was waiting on the bus in their wet swimsuits, and I felt bad about that.

One more disappointing thing was that previously, a group photo of all participants, including staff, was taken at the sandbar and could be purchased online, but that service has been discontinued. It would be great if they could bring that back, as it makes for wonderful memories.

７年前に一度夫婦で参加しましたが、その１週間前に私が肩の骨を骨折してしまい、シュノーケリングもSUPも参加出来ずに終わりました。
妻がSUPのみチャレンジし、初めてなのに直ぐに立ち上がっているのを見て羨ましく思っていました。

今回は万全の体調で参加出来、念願のシュノーケリングもSUPも夫婦で思いっきり楽しむ事が出来ました。

７年前は遊べるSUPの数が少なく、順番待ちであまり乗れませんでしたが、現在は数も十分確保されており、順番待ち無く心置き無く遊ぶ事が出来ました。

シュノーケリングでも、目の前まで寄って来たホヌを静かに見る事が出来て、大変感動しました。

コロナが収束して日本人の参加者も増えて居ました。
乗って来たバスもボートも８割以上が日本人でしたが、日本語対応のスタッフが居ませんでした。
終始英語のみの進行で、７年前と客層もスタッフも変わっていたんだと思います。

７年前は帰りのバスに乗る前に、トイレで乾いた服に着替える時間があったので、そのつもりで着替えて来たら、皆濡れた水着のままバスに乗って待っており、申し訳ない事をしてしまいました。

あと一つだけ残念だったのは、以前はスタッフも含めた参加者全員のサンドバーでの集合写真を撮って、netで購入出来たのですが、その様なサービスが無くなっっていた事です。
良い思い出になるので、またやってくれると良いですね。

I participated with my daughter. The staff who provided explanations in Japanese before we set sail and those who guided us on the boat were all very kind, making the experience enjoyable from start to finish.

They let us know when we approached the area known as Heart Reef and when the honu appeared.

We played with SUP and other activities in the first half, followed by snorkeling in the second half. There were SUP boards, floaties, and water guns, and we had 45 minutes of fun. Along the way, the staff came around to each participant to take photos, which was a delightful service.

For snorkeling, those who couldn't swim were given something like a float to hold onto, and the staff pulled them along. Even if you can't swim, you can participate safely as long as you wear a life jacket, and the staff stays with you the whole time.

I was moved to swim with the honu.

They took me to a place with a lot of dolphins, and I was able to swim near them about three times. The sea was really beautiful, and I think it will be a wonderful memory. However, I got extremely seasick and ended up throwing up about twice as many times as I encountered dolphins. Since we went out to sea, during the tour, I could only be on the boat or in the water, and in the second half, I was just thinking about getting back quickly. The chances of seeing dolphins are very high, so I think it's best to participate with a preparedness for seasickness and some countermeasures.

たくさんイルカがいる所に連れて行ってくれて
わたしも3回くらいイルカのそばを泳ぐ事ができました。海も本当に綺麗でとても素敵な思い出になるツアーだと思います。が、私はめちゃくちゃ船酔いし、イルカに遭遇できた倍くらいの回数吐きまくりました。冲に出るのでツアーの時間内は船か海にいるしかなく、後半は早く帰る事だけ考えてました。
イルカに会える可能性はとても高いので、船酔いの覚悟と対策の上参加するのがいいと思います。

Our guides were super entertaining and helpful.
Some outstanding, picturesque views from the sail! Very nice experience!

To begin- we loved that they offered complimentary pictures at entry, they sent them directly to our phone for FREE, other tourist areas always charge for pictures.
The food buffet had a variety of options from chicken, fish, and pork. The food was tasty. Our tickets came with a drink ticket and we enjoyed a mai tai.
The performances were we'll coordinate, we loved the fire show, the hula dances, everything! I would definitely come back for another show. Employees were helpful, informative, and very kind!

It was an amazing trip that I would want to visit every day!! The bus driver's stories were wonderful. It was an emotional experience to swim with the turtles. Thank you very much!

毎日訪れたいほど最高な旅でした！！
バスドライバーさんのお話も素敵でした。
亀と一緒に泳ぐことができ、感動のプランでした。有難うございました！

I participated with my husband, daughter, and middle school grandson. The sandbar wasn't at low tide, but it felt safe in the shallow water. I wanted to try stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) too, so we all enjoyed it as a family. Later, my husband and I watched our daughter and grandson enjoy snorkeling from the boat, and it was so much fun! They were thrilled to see many turtles.

Above all, I was very satisfied with the staff member who spoke Japanese; she explained everything clearly and interestingly. My daughter and grandson both said they want to do it again! Thank you for all your help.

主人と娘と中学生の孫と参加しました。サンドバーは干潮ではなかったけど、浅瀬で安心感がありました。SUPは私もやってみたかったので家族で楽しみました。その後シュノーケルは私と主人は船から娘と孫が楽しんでいるのを見てましたが、とっても楽しかった！亀をたくさん見れたと大喜びでした。
何より日本語の話せる女性のスタッフが分かりやすく面白く色々話をしてくれとても満足でした。
またやりたい！と娘も孫も言ってます。
色々お世話になりました。

My son loved this, he was smiling ear to ear, and the dolphin lagoons are just gorgeous

The staff were friendly, and they took several photos for us. Everything was in English, so I thought I should have brought a translation device since I didn't understand English, but the scenery was very beautiful. For some reason, we couldn't go to Jurassic World, but I'm glad we were able to go on our honeymoon.

フレンドリーなスタッフさんで、写真も何枚か取ってもらえました。全部英語なので、英語がわからなかったので、翻訳機持っていけばよかったと思いましたが、景色がとてもきれいでした。ジュラシックワールドはなぜか行けなかったのですが、ハネムーンで行けてよかったです。

The pickup car arrived about 15 minutes after the meeting time. (I was a bit worried, but) I think it's best to relax and wait, thinking it's HAWAII TIME. Despite the early morning, the driver was in high spirits, which lifted my mood!

If you're worried about seasickness, it's better to take some medication beforehand. Our family all took it, so we didn't experience any seasickness at all, but about 4 to 5 people were unable to move due to it.

When we spotted dolphins, we jumped in one by one. Those who jumped in earlier had a higher chance of seeing them, but those who didn't see them were prioritized to jump in next, so everyone was able to see the dolphins.

We were very satisfied to see both dolphins and sea turtles!

All the staff were very kind, and I definitely want to participate again when I go to Hawaii.

It gets cold when you come back onto the boat from the sea, so a jacket and a bath towel are essential.

Thank you to all the staff.

MAHALO

集合時間から15分後くらいに
ピックアップの車が到着しました。
(ちょっと心配ですが)HAWAII TIMEだと思って気楽な気持ちで待てばいいと思います。
早朝にも関わらず運転手さんは
ハイテンションで気分が上がりました！

船酔いの心配がある方は
酔い止めを飲んでおいた方がいいです。
私たち家族は全員飲んでいたので
全く船酔いしませんでしたが

思います。

海から船に上がると寒いので、
上着&バスタオル必須です。


スタッフの皆さん
ありがとうございました。

MAHALO

During snorkeling, we were able to see many turtles up close. The staff kindly taught my wife, who is not a strong swimmer, and they also kept a watchful eye on her, which made us feel safe. Above all, both the captain and the staff spoke Japanese well, and there were also Japanese staff members, which added to our sense of security. This is a recommended activity if you visit Hawaii. However, due to the tides, it's not guaranteed that sandbars will appear as shown in the promotional photos, so you might need to be a little cautious about that.

シュノーケリングでは、沢山の亀が近くで見られました。泳ぎの苦手な妻にも親切に教えてくれて、また、安全を見守ってくれているので安心です。何より、キャプテンもスタッフも日本語が上手な上に日本人スタッフもいて、安心度合いが違います。ハワイに行ったらオススメのアクティビティです。ただし、潮の満ち引きの関係もあるのでイメージ写真の様なサンドバーが現れるとは限りませんのでその辺は少し注意が必要かもしれません。

I went at the timing of the lowest tide during my stay, and it was about waist-deep. The staff mentioned it was shallow, so it might not be possible to see the sandy beach. However, even from a distance, the color of the sea here is completely different, which makes the journey exciting. I was wondering where we would do stand-up paddleboarding, so it was quite understandable.

The edge of this reef is a coral reef (with steep cliffs), and there are many sea turtles there. Everyone swims along with the staff, so it's safe to observe (though it gets a bit congested... (laughs)). Sometimes they come close to the surface for air! (The staff said I was lucky.) Of course, we shouldn't touch them.

Unfortunately, my camera malfunctioned halfway through, and I couldn't take any pictures of the sea turtles, which was disappointing, but I was able to remember it well, so that was enough for me.

The cheerful and energetic staff, delicious spam onigiri, and fun activities... I had a wonderful experience.

滞在中最も干潮になるタイミングで行きましたが、それで腰ぐらいの深さでした。スタッフさんは浅いよ〜っておっしゃっていたので砂浜が見えることは無いのかもしれません。ただ遠くから見てもここだけ全く海の色が違うので向かう途中からワクワクします。そもそもサップをどこでやるんだろう？と思っていたので、まあ納得でした。
この岩礁の縁は珊瑚礁になっていて（切立った崖）そこにウミガメが沢山います。スタッフさんについて皆並んで泳ぎますので危なげ無く見学できます（ちょっと渋滞しますが…（笑）)たまに呼吸で浮かんで近くに来ることも！（ラッキーだよとスタッフさんに言われました）もちろん触っちゃいけません。
今回途中でカメラの調子がおかしくなってウミガメを全く撮る事ができず残念でしたが、記憶にはしっかり残せたので十分です。
明るくて元気なスタッフさん達、美味しいスパムおにぎり、楽しいアクティビティ…素晴らしい経験をさせてもらえました。

I chose the day with the lowest tide during my trip to Hawaii and made a reservation, but at the lowest point, the water was up to my knees.

Since it was an early morning course, it was cold! The water felt quite cold until I got used to it.

We headed to the sandbar on two boats, and our boat spent about an hour taking photos and enjoying stand-up paddleboarding freely. The last hour was for snorkeling. We were able to see several sea turtles! They swam very close to us! It was a bit disappointing that the water where we were snorkeling was a little murky, but I was very satisfied because I got to see so many sea turtles. For those who can't swim, the guide provides solid support, so there are no issues.

On the boat, there were self-service rice balls, snacks, and drinks. I was very grateful for the hot drinks.

Most of the participants were Japanese. It became a wonderful memory!

ハワイ旅行の日程の中で1番潮の引いている日にちを選んで予約しましたが
1番浅い時で膝ぐらいまでありました。

水も慣れるまでは冷たく感じました。

2つのボートでサンドバーへ向かい、私達のボートは
最初に約1時間弱、サンドバーで写真を撮ったりSUPに乗ったりと各々自由に過ごしました。
後半の1時間弱がシュノーケリングでした。
海亀を何匹も見ることができました！すぐ近くで泳いでくれます！
シュノーケリングしていたところの海水は少し濁っていたのが残念でしたが
たくさん海亀を見ることができたので大満足です。
泳げない人はガイドさんがしっかりサポートしてくれるので問題ありません。

ボートにはセルフサービスでおにぎりとスナック、ドリンクがありました。
ホットドリンクがあったのがとてもありがたかったです。

参加者はほとんど日本人でした。
とっても良い思い出になりました！

The tour was mostly made up of Japanese people. There were a few crew members who could speak Japanese, and after the English explanation, there was also a Japanese explanation, so even someone like me, who is not good at English, was able to enjoy it with peace of mind. Even though I can't float with a life jacket, I was able to participate in snorkeling thanks to the life jackets provided! There was also practice time for those who are not good at swimming, so everyone, including those who said they were not good at swimming, participated. There were many fish, and I was able to swim with the honu, making it an amazing experience.

ツアーは日本人が大半でした。
クルーの人は日本語が話せる方が数名いて、英語の説明のあと、日本語の説明もあったので、英語が苦手なわたしでも安心して楽しむことが出来ました。
カナヅチで浮くことも出来ないわたしでも、ライフジャケットがあったのでシュノーケリングにも参加できました！泳ぎが苦手な人の為に練習時間もあったので、同じく泳ぎが苦手と言っていた方も含めて全員が参加していました。
魚もたくさんいて、ホヌと一緒に泳ぐことができて、最高な体験が出来ました。

Participation in mid-September.
We boarded a boat to search for dolphins, and when we found them, we dove into the sea.
Falling into the water, we swam tirelessly in the direction we were told.
Since we entered without any mental preparation, a few people panicked because they weren't used to it.
We saw a mother and baby dolphin swimming either deeper down or near the surface, but they weren't very close.
It felt like seeing dolphins underwater.
And it was cold. I was advised against renting a wetsuit because it can cause seasickness and costs $10, but I should have borrowed one.
I was shivering on the boat the whole time because it was too cold.
My husband seemed to feel nauseous as well, but when we moved to the snorkeling spot, he was told that it would be better to dive in, so he was made to jump in.
However, it was said that the sea was less rocky than on the boat, but it was still cold, which ultimately made him feel worse.
We could also see dolphins from the boat, so we still had quite a bit of fun.
We could take photos as well, but it was mostly the same person taking them. Everyone was getting pictures with bubble rings, but we didn’t have that.
The turkey wrap for lunch wasn’t tasty either...
If I go again, I think I’ll choose a different tour company that isn’t Dolphin University.

9月半ばの参加。
船に乗ってイルカを探して、見つかると海にダイブ。
海に落ちて、言われた方にひたすら泳ぎます。
心の準備もなく入るので慣れてないとパニックになる人が数人いました。
イルカは下の方または水面近くあたりを泳ぐ親子を見たりしましたが、さほど近くはないです。
海の中でイルカを見る感じ。
そして寒い。ウエットスーツは酔いやすいし10ドルかかるからと薦められませんでしたが、借りるべきでした。
寒すぎて船の上でずっと震えてました。
夫は酔いもあったようですが、シュノーケリングスポットに移動したとき、海に入ったほうがマシになると言われてダイブさせられてました。
しかし船の上より海のが揺れなくてまだマシだからとのことでしたが寒いので結局余計に体調不良に。
船からイルカを見ることもできたのでそれでも結構楽しめはしました。
あとは写真も撮ってもらえますが、同じ人ばかりでしたね。みんなバブルリングで撮ってもらってましたが私達は無かったです。
お昼のターキーラップも美味しくないし...
次また行くならイルカ大学ではないツアー会社にしようと思ってます。

There were no other Japanese tourists on the bus for the tour. All the explanations were in English, so I couldn't understand the content, but I could somewhat feel the atmosphere. The jungle exploration had a nice opportunity for a bit of hiking, which was great. The tour around the farm turned out to be surprisingly the most interesting and enjoyable experience. It was amazing to see the magnificent scenery that can only be found here.

ツアー毎のバスには他に日本人観光客はいませんでした。説明は全て英語でしたので内容は分かりませんでしたが何となくの雰囲気で感じていました。ジャングル探険では少し登山する機会があった所が良かったです。農園を巡るツアーは意外と一番興味深く楽しく体験できました。ここでしか見られない壮大な景色を見られて最高でした。

From the beginning to the end you truly feel like you are part of the family. The host has such a love for Hawaiian history and the desire to preserve every ounce of it. What a beautiful display of culture. The meal was more then anyone could hope for. If time would have permitted we definitely would have attended again.

The tour was amazing. There wasn't one moment of disappointment. Words can't describe how we felt when we saw the entrance to Jurassic Park. Our guide even picked fruit for us.
