I had a great time. After the tour, I was often asked for tips, but this tour not only provided a lot of fun but also offered free photos to upload on Facebook! Finally, in the car that took me back to the hotel, they shared various interesting stories without asking for any tips at all. It's a really good tour company.
とても楽しかったです
結構ツアー参加後に、チップを要求されることが多かったのですが、このツアーはいっぱい楽しませた上に、写真まで無料にfacebookにアップしてくれます!最後に、ホテルまで送ってくれた車の中で、いろんな面白い話をしてくれながら、チップを一切要求しませんでした。
とてもいいツアー会社です

The driver tried to separate our seats, which had two participants. It seemed like they wanted to put their luggage in the front seat? This was our second time, but the lunch was of lower quality compared to last time, and it wasn't BBQ! The biggest disappointment was that we had to snorkel in a line. I think they should advertise it as suitable for beginners. I don't think I'll participate next time.
ドライバーが2人参加の私達の席を別々に座らせようとしました。自分の荷物を前席に置きたいらしく?
今回は2回目でしたが、前回よりランチもランクダウン、BBQ?ではなかった!そして一番の残念は並んでスノーケリングしなければならなかった事。初級者用と宣伝した方が良いと思います。今度は参加しないと思います。

I was really interested in the Angel's Sea experience, so I decided to participate. After checking reviews, magazines, and online information, I learned that the tide is better in the early morning, so I joined the morning session. When I woke up, the weather was clear, and I was excited as I was taken to the boat dock, but the weather started to look a bit suspicious. It didn't seem like it would rain, but there were quite a few clouds. Despite the situation, we boarded the boat and set sail for the spot! The Japanese guide (female) who was with us in the shuttle and on the boat provided very clear explanations and kept everyone entertained with her bright energy.
First, we stopped the boat at a spot where turtles are known to appear for some watching. Although they didn't come right in front of us, we did see quite a few turtles. Everyone was excited and taking photos. Next, we headed to the sandbar. As I mentioned earlier, there were many clouds, so it felt a bit chilly when we arrived at the sandbar! I was disappointed because I had relied on the information for the morning session, but the tide was not very low, only about waist-deep. The water level was lower than expected, around ankle-deep, and without any sunshine, it felt cold and a bit murky. Because of this, the snorkeling experience was less enjoyable.
It seems that the timing might have been off, or perhaps the volcanic activity on the Big Island affected the weather, causing many clouds and a whitish appearance around us. There were mountains where Jurassic World was filmed, and I couldn't help but think how beautiful it would have been if the weather had been clear! I was filled with regret, imagining the stunning scenery like in the experience photos. This time, we had a light meal with sandwiches, which were quite tasty. Drinks like cola, Sprite, tea, and other beverages were available for free.
For those who will participate in the future, I can only say that if you're lucky enough to have clear weather, you will have an amazing time! Locals also mentioned that the early morning is better for the tide, so it might be a good idea to choose the morning session. All we can do is hope for good weather. I hope to join again someday in perfect sunny conditions.
天使の海すごく興味が有り参加しました。口コミ情報や雑誌やネットなどの説明を見て朝早い方が潮引きが良いと知り朝早い時間帯で参加しました。朝起きてかなりの晴天でワクワクしながら船乗りばまで送迎してもらうなかなんだか天気が怪しい感じ。雨は降りそうもないけど雲がかなり多くなってきた。状況が変わらず船に乗りスポットまで出航!送迎車から船の中もずっと一緒に乗っていた日本人(女性)のガイドさんは、とても分かりやすい説明に非常に明るいテンションでみんなを楽しく和ませていました。まず亀の出るスポットで船のエンジンを止めてウォッチング。本当の目の前には現れなかったものの、結構亀が出現しました。みんな興奮して写真を撮っていました。次にサンドバーに向かいました。最初にも言ったように雲が多かったのでちょっと肌寒い感じの中サンドバーに到着!しっかり情報をあてにして朝の参加にしたのに残念。潮引きがあまく腰位迄の深さでした。足首程度の水位の期待が外れて晴れ間がないから寒いし少し濁って見える感じでした。なのでシュノーケルも楽しさが半減でした。時期が悪かったのかハワイ島の噴火の影響で風に流れて雲が多く辺りが白っぽい感じになってしまっているそうです。ジェラシックワールドの撮影された山があったりで、これが晴天だったらどんなに綺麗なんだろう!体験談の写真にのような素晴らしい景色なんだろうと悔やんでしょうがない気持ちでいっぱいでした。今回は軽食付きでサンドイッチを頂きました。普通に美味しかったです。ドリンクはコーラ、スプライト、紅茶、お茶などが飲み放題でした。これから参加する方には運良く晴天でであれば最高な時間を過ごせるよ!としか言えません。現地の方に聞いても朝早い方が潮引きが良いと言っていましたので、朝早い方便を選んだ方が良いかもしれません。天気は願うしかありません。いつかまた最高の晴天で参加したいです。

Zero bad things to say about the whole experience!
First, the bus driver, Rey, was friendly and prompt!
The host, Jenner, was also extremely friendly and funny!
Mike and Tyson, the dudes on the boat, were insanely helpful and welcoming!
If you're staying in Waikiki, I recommend taking their shuttle. There are various location pickups throughout Waikiki, so you can just walk to one.
The tour starts at the sandbar, where you can walk around explore. They also have a volleyball net setup, which is super cool. Next, we are served freshly cooked burgers and snacks on the boat. Then, after lunch, we sail to an area where we can turtle watch. Lastly, we were taken to a nearby reef, where we could snorkel for an hour. They provide all the proper snorkeling gear and life vests, so no need to bring your own.

This was my first trip to Hawaii with my family. The ocean was like paradise, and I was right to check the tide times in advance for this day. Although it wasn't completely like a sandbar, the beautiful sand reflecting on the water was truly a sight that you can't find in Japan. The kids were also impressed, but our time there was limited to taking photos or playing volleyball. The volleyball court was taken over by some very energetic foreigners, and the Japanese boat team was just watching. I felt that if there were more activities to enjoy here, it would create a better experience and more memorable moments. Things like rubber boats, trampolines, water polo, water guns, etc. would really enhance the experience.
But the ocean was beautiful.
I also heard about a BBQ lunch, but it was just a burger, which was disappointing.
私自身、初めてのハワイで家族をつれての旅行でした。天国の海、期待して前もって潮の時間も確認してこの日にして正解でした。完全には中洲みたいな砂浜がでている状態ではありませんでしたが、膝下くらいで綺麗な砂が海面に反射してまさしく日本にはにない綺麗な海でした。子供たちも感動しておりましたが、ココでの時間は写真撮影か、バレーしかありませんでした。バレーボールはハイテンションな外人さんに占領され日本人ボートチームはただソレを見ているだけでした。ココでもっと過ごすに楽しめる物を催してくれたら、差別化がもっと出来るし、思い出も、感動も倍増するのでは・・と感じました。ゴムボート、トランポリン、水球、水鉄砲、エトセトラ・・・
でも海は綺麗でした
あと、BBQランチと聴いていましたがただのバーガーでした
残念でした

This was my first time snorkeling in Hawaii. The weather was the best it had been during our stay, and since it was an afternoon tour, it wasn't cold at all—the timing was perfect! My wife, who can't swim, was able to glide through the water for an hour of snorkeling with the help of a life jacket and fins, thanks to Chieko's clear explanations and teaching style. We were amazed by the colorful small fish and schools of large parrotfish and ladyfish right in front of us. At one point, Dan called us over, and we saw a sea turtle up close. It was my first time seeing a sea turtle at such a reachable distance, and I was truly moved. I think this was the best snorkeling experience I've ever had. Although I couldn't take good pictures with my underwater camera, I was really glad to be able to download photos from Dan's Facebook. Thank you for a wonderful time that I could get lost in. Next time, I plan to join this tour again with my daughter and her husband and my grandchildren.
ハワイでのシュノーケリングは初めてでした。
滞在中で一番良い天気だったことと、午後からのツアーだったので寒くもなく、タイミングはバッチリでした!
泳げない妻もライフジャケットとフィンをつけて、ちえこさんのわかりやすい説明と教え方で1時間のシュノーケリングをスイスイと泳ぐこと出来てびっくりでした。
目の前を色とりどりの小魚や大きなアオブダイやレディーフィッシュの群れ…
途中でダンさんに呼ばれて近くまで行くと海ガメがいました。
手の届くような距離で海ガメを見るのは初めてで本当に感動しました。
今まで体験したシュノーケリングで一番良かったと思います。
持参した水中カメラも上手く写せなかったのですが、ダンさんのFBで写真もダウンロードさせてもらえて本当に良かったです。
夢中になれる素敵な時間をありがとうございました。
次回は娘夫婦や孫たちと一緒にまたこのツアーに参加しようと思います。
Thank you for joining the tour with Blue Hawaii Divers. I'm glad the weather was favorable and that you enjoyed the snorkeling experience. Your wife was very skilled; it was hard to believe she couldn't swim! The sea turtles were also in a small lagoon, making them easy to see. I'm happy to hear you were able to download the photos successfully. Please do come back next time with your daughter’s family.
We look forward to seeing you again. Thank you very much. Mahalo!!

The sea turtles were adorable. The sea turtles that appeared all over the ocean were amazing. My first snorkeling experience was fun, and I also enjoyed the BBQ-style lunch. However, perhaps due to the season, the shallow areas were deeper than I expected, which was a bit disappointing.
The warm drink service after coming out of the sea was comforting, not just in terms of taste, and the staff were friendly, making the overall experience enjoyable.
ウミガメが可愛かったです。
海のあちこちに現れるウミガメが最高でした。
初めてのシュノーケリング体験も楽しく、お昼のBBQ風のランチも楽しめました。
ただ、時期的なものなのか、浅瀬が思ったよりも深く、イメージと少し違っており、残念でした。
海からあがった後の温かい飲み物サービスは、味云々ではなく、ホッとする事ができ、スタッフさんの人柄も良く、全体的に楽しめました。

In the morning, a dedicated bus came to pick us up near the hotel. From there, we traveled by boat to the location where the dolphins were. During the first two attempts, we couldn't see any dolphins, and I was worried about whether we would get to see them, but we were able to see them swimming underwater!
Due to lack of sleep and fatigue, along with the low water temperature, I ended up feeling seasick towards the end, but I’m glad I had this valuable experience.
I think it would be better to prepare some motion sickness medication if possible.
朝は専用バスがホテル近くまで迎えに来てくれました。
そこから船でイルカのいる場所まで移動。最初の二回はイルカは見えず、会えるかどうか不安でしたが無事に水中を泳ぐ姿が見れました!
寝不足と疲労、それから水温が低かった為に最後の方は船酔いしてしまいましたが、貴重な体験ができて良かったです。
酔い止めは出来れば用意した方が良いと思います。
Thank you for your message. I'm glad you were able to see dolphins. Please come visit us again when you're in Hawaii. Some people may experience seasickness due to jet lag, so if possible, I recommend joining the dolphin tour on the second day or later.

We had always wanted to visit the Sandbar and snorkel in the Kaneohe area. Captain Bob's made it enjoyable . The crew was pleasant and the food was great. It was a relaxed atmosphere (meaning, not too regulated) so we could pretty much do whatever we wanted. There were lots of turtles and fish. The only drawback was that it was more crowded than I'd imagined it would be. Maybe it would be less busy when the keikis go back to school.

We arrived at the sandbar just before noon under cloudy skies, and it was a bit chilly with the wind. At the sandbar, we practiced snorkeling in the shallowest area, which was about knee-deep for adults, as my first-grade grandson was trying it for the first time. After that, we enjoyed watching tropical fish and sea turtles in deeper waters. It was quite a good tour.

We used this service for our honeymoon. The small boat was packed with about 40 adults and around 5 instructors. No matter how much profit is at stake, that was terrible. I am a diver, and even on boats of similar size, the limit is 10 people.
There was hardly any space to sit, and of course, there were beginners in snorkeling, so when we spotted dolphins, everyone was flailing around in the water, and the dolphins quickly disappeared. It was handled in a way that made it feel like just being lucky to see them once! Therefore, I do not recommend this company for those hoping for a leisurely dolphin swim.
The camera fees were also exorbitant, with still images costing $60 and both still images and videos costing $100, which is shocking. Additionally, although it was optional, there was also a charge for the wetsuit. There was only one photographer for 40 people. When I checked the photos after returning home, despite paying a high price, I only had about 20 photos of myself. I am not satisfied with this.
I believe that if they reduced the capacity to around 20 people and added another photographer, the tour would be much better. I hope for improvements.
I was truly happy to see wild dolphins, even just once. For my next trip to Hawaii, I plan to use a different tour company.
Thank you.

小さな船に大人40人とインストラクター約5人がぎゅうぎゅう詰めでした。
いくら利益の為とはいえ、あれはひどいです。私はダイバーですが、ダイビングでは同じような大きさの船でも10人が限度です。
座るところを探してもないぐらいの押込み具合で、もちろんシュノーケリング初めての方もいらっしゃいますので、イルカを見つけると、海上でバタバタし、イルカもすぐにいなくなりました。一目見れただけでラッキーだね!という捌き方なので、ゆっくりドルフィンスイムを希望の方にはこちらの会社はオススメ致しません。
カメラ撮影も高額で、静止画で60ドル、静止画&動画は100ドルと驚きの価格です。その上任意ですが、ウェットスーツ代も取られます。
カメラマンは40人に対して、1人だけです。帰国後に写真を確認すると、高額を支払ったにもかかわらず、やはり自身の写真は20枚前後です。これには納得がいきません。
定員数を20人程にし、カメラマンをもう一人増やせば、もっとよりよいツアーになると思います。改善されることを希望致します。

After reading the experiences, I was excited to participate because I heard we could see turtles and a lot of fish. Last time I joined an outrigger tour, there were many turtles, and I was really impressed, so I expected something similar this time. However, the waves were a bit high at the location, and there were many children and non-swimmers in the same group, so we probably couldn't go out too far this time. There weren't many fish, and of course, there were no turtles or seals... it left us wondering what we came here for. (laughs) Maybe it would have been better to snorkel on our own in Waikiki... I think it depends on the day! Also, the tour guide was very kind and nice. The transportation and care were excellent! So, you can participate with peace of mind! My rating reflects the condition of the sea that day.
体験談を見て、亀が見れて魚もたくさんみれるとのことで、期待して参加。
前回アウトリガー 前からのツアーに参加したら亀がたくさんいて、大感動したのでそんな感じかなと。
思ってましたが、現地では波も高めで同じグループの方も子供や泳げない人も多めで今回はあまり沖に出られなかったのかな?
魚も大していなくて、亀やアザラシはもちろんいなくて、、、何しにきたんだろうわたし達ってゆう感想でした。笑
ワイキキで自分らでシュノーケルした方が良かったかも。。。

Dear Chibitaro, thank you for joining our tour. Unfortunately, when the tide is high, waves often occur, and during such times, safety is our top priority, so we cannot go out to sea. I apologize for that. Additionally, many people participate in our tours, especially during this summer vacation season, where often half of the participants are children from multi-generational families. In such cases, the instructors must prioritize support for children and those who cannot swim, which may slow down the tour and lead to dissatisfaction among more experienced guests. I sincerely apologize for this.
Please don't let this discourage you; when the sea conditions are good, Hanauma Bay is truly beautiful, with a variety of fish to see. If you have the opportunity, I hope you will visit again.
Next time, I hope to guide you further out to sea, so I would appreciate your repeat visit. Thank you very much for coming. Mahalo!!
ちびたろう様、この度はツアーにお越しいただき、ありがとうございます。残念ながら満ち潮と重なるとどうしても波が出てしまうことが多いので、そんな時は安全第一で沖には出られないのです。ごめんなさいね。またツアーにはいろんな方が参加されますので、特にこの夏休みシーズンは3世代ファミリーでの参加も多く、人数の半数はお子様になってしまう時が多くなります。そんな時はどうしてもインストラクターはお子様や泳げない方へのサポートを優先するためにツアーがスローになったりで、上手なお客様にはご不満が出てしまうのかもしれません。本当に申し訳ございません。これに懲りずに、ハナウマ湾は海の状態が良い時に来ていただければ、本当にいろんな種類のお魚が見れてとても綺麗な海なんです。また機会がありましたらぜひ訪れてみてください。
次回は是非沖の方までご案内できればと思っておりますので、リピートしていただければと思っております。
本当にお越しいただきありがとうございました。Mahalo!!

Last year, I went to the sandbar, and this year, the timing of the low tide didn't match, so the water level was about waist-deep. There's nothing we can do about nature. At the sandbar, I had a great time playing beach volleyball with people from overseas and had a female guide take professional-level photos of me! Also, during the turtle watching, we saw turtles swimming gracefully, and the kids were overjoyed!!
After enjoying delicious hamburgers, we went snorkeling. Although the visibility was a bit poor, I was healed by the colorful fish that ate food from my hand!
The captain, the guide, and the crew were all very kind, making it a truly enjoyable tour! I will definitely come back!
昨年もサンドバーへ行きましたが、今年も干潮タイミング合わず腰下程度の水位でした。こればかりは自然の事なので仕方ない。サンドバーでは海外の人とビーチバレーしたり、ガイドの女性にプロ並みの写真撮って頂いたりと大変楽しめました!また、タートルウォッチングでは優雅に泳ぐカメが顔も出してくれて子供も大喜び!!
美味しいハンバーガーを食べた後は、シュノーケリング。こちらも透明度はやや悪かったものの、手からエサを食べてくれる色とりどりの魚に癒されました!
キャプテン、ガイドの方、クルー、皆さん優しくて行程中ほんとに楽しいツアーでした!
また来まーす!

I participated with my father and son. All three of us were filled with anxiety as it was our first time snorkeling. In the end, we felt that we couldn't have done it without the guide! We didn't even know how to put on the wetsuits, and once we got into the water, we struggled to put on our fins due to the waves and ended up stumbling a lot. During those times, we received help multiple times. Especially my father, who is 70 years old, needed support in some areas. He also mentioned that he couldn't have done it without the guide! We were desperately trying to keep up with everyone, but the underwater scenery was more beautiful than we imagined, and it became the best memory of this trip! Thank you very much!
父と息子と私の三人で参加をさせて頂きました。
三人とも初めてのシュノーケリングで不安でいっぱいでした。結果としてガイドさん無しでは出来なかったという感想です!ウェットスーツの着用の仕方から分からず、また海に入ってから波に押されなかなかフィンが履けなかったりよろけてしまったり。そんな時に何度も助けて頂きました。特に父は70歳という年齢もありついていけないところもサポートして下さいました。父もガイドさん無しでは無理だった!と話していました。皆さんについていくのが必死でしたが、、海の中は想像以上に素敵でこの旅の1番の思い出となりました!!ありがとうございました!
Thank you for joining the tour with Blue Hawaii Divers. During the afternoon tour that day, we experienced the highest tide, which made for some challenging conditions with waves, but your father did a great job and persevered until the end. I remember that your 6-year-old child also swam hard, riding on Mr. Dan's back like a little turtle. I'm truly happy to hear that it became the best memory of your trip. Please do come back with your family again. We are always here to assist you. Thank you very much. Mahalo!!
この度はブルーハワイダイバースのツアーにお越しいただき、ありがとうございます。この日の午後ツアーの最中が一番の満ち潮と重なり、波もあり、ちょっと難しいコンディションでしたが、お父様も最後まで頑張ってくださいました。確か6歳のお子様もダン先生の背中に子亀のように乗っかって頑張って泳いでくれた日でしたね。旅の一番の思い出になったとまでおっしゃっていただき、本当に嬉しく思います。是非またご家族皆様でリピートしてください。
いつでも皆様のお手伝いをさせていただきますよ。
本当にありがとうございました。Mahalo!!

The tide was either high or it was the season, but the seawater was at waist height. Even so, everyone seemed to be having a great time playing beach volleyball, practicing snorkeling, and relaxing on the boat! I had never tried snorkeling before, but I enjoyed it very much! The staff included a Japanese person who alternated between English and Japanese, which was reassuring. The hamburgers we had on the boat were also delicious!
潮の満ち引きなのか、時季なのか?、海水が腰の高さでした。 それでも、ビーチバレーやったり、シュノーケルの練習が出来たり、船の上でのんびりしたり思い思いの時間を過ごしていて皆さん楽しそうでした! シュノーケルは未体験でしたが、とてもとても楽しめました! スタッフの方も、日本人がいらっしゃって、英語と日本語とを交互にしてくださるので安心です。
船上で食べるハンバーガーも美味でした!

At 7 AM, we were picked up from the hotel and headed to Hanauma Bay, which has been selected as the No. 1 best beach. This shallow sea, formed from a collapsed volcanic crater, is teeming with fish. You can swim surprisingly close to them.
The reason for the early morning start is that the parking lot fills up quickly. Due to conservation efforts, the parking capacity is small, and once it reaches full capacity, the gates are closed. During this time before the summer vacation in Japan, there are fewer Japanese tourists, and many locals are present. Also, there are plenty of cats on the beach.
And guess what!! A large guest, a seal, was there. Previously, they could only be seen a few times a year, but now it seems they are visiting almost every day.
Chieko from Blue Hawaii Divers kindly explained how to use the snorkel, and as soon as I dipped my face into the water, I could see fish right in front of me at a depth where I could still stand. As I continued swimming among the schools of fish, I finally spotted a sea turtle. Since it was featured in the educational video about Hanauma Bay, I kept my distance and was able to swim alongside it.
早朝7時のホテルピックアップでNo.1ベストビーチにも選ばれたハナウマ湾に。元々火口だったところが落ち込んでできた遠浅の海に魚がいっぱい。
びっくりするくらい近くで泳ぐことがでできます。
朝がやたらと早い理由は駐車場がいっぱいになってしまうからだそう。
自然保護のためか駐車場のキャパシティーが小さいので、いっぱいになった時点でゲートを閉じてしまうそうです。
日本の学校の夏休み前のこの時期は日本人が少なく、地元の人がいっぱい。そしてビーチには猫もいっぱい。
そしてなんと!!大きな先客、アザラシ君が。
以前は年数回しか見られなかった彼らですが、今ならほぼ毎日と言っていいくらい訪れているみたいです。
ブルーハワイダイバーズのチエコさんが丁寧にシュノーケルの説明をしてくれ、軽く水面に顔をつけると足の着く深さにももうすぐ目の前に魚が。
魚群の中泳ぎ続けるとようやくウミガメが。
ハナウマ湾の教育ビデオにもあったので遠巻きにして、一緒に泳ぐことができました。
Thank you, Tama-chan, for joining the tour with Blue Hawaii Divers. Although the pickup was early in the morning, I'm glad to hear you enjoyed your time with the seals, green sea turtles, and the cats. Recently, the seals Kecoa and Koro have been visiting the beach often, much to everyone's delight. The school of striped parrotfish was beautiful as well! We look forward to having you both join us for another tour. Thank you very much. Mahalo!!
タマちゃん様、この度はブルーハワイダイバースのツアーにお越しいただき、ありがとうございます。朝早いピックアップでしたが、アザラシ、アオウミガメ、猫達と楽しんでいただけたようで良かったです。本当に最近はアザラシのケコアとコロへがよくビーチに来てくれるので、皆様に喜んでいただいております。シマハギの群れも綺麗でしたね!是非またお二人でツアーにリピートしていただけるのをお待ちしております。
本当にありがとうございました。Mahalo!!

I'm glad I was able to see the dolphins, but I felt that the time spent on other activities (like the staff's performance) was a bit wasted compared to the time swimming with the dolphins. I think it would have been better to visit a few more spots to increase the time spent swimming with the dolphins.
イルカは見ることができて良かったのですが、イルカと泳げた時間に対して、それ以外(スタッフさんのパフォーマンス等)の時間が勿体なかったかな?何ヵ所かポイントを回ってイルカと泳ぐ時間を増やす方が良かったと思います。
Thank you for your comment. Regarding the time spent swimming with the dolphins, we determine the duration with consideration for the dolphins' well-being. We completely understand your feelings, but Dolphin & You is an eco-friendly tour that respects nature, so we appreciate your understanding.
コメントありがとうございます。イルカと泳ぐ時間についてですが、イルカへの負担を考えて泳ぐ時間を決めております。お気持ちはすごくわかりますが、ドルフィン&ユーはエコフレンドリーツアーでもあり、自然への敬意を払ってツアーを行っておりますので、ご了承いただけると幸いです。

It was an awesome experience. The crew was very friendly and nice. The bus was nice and new and comfortable. I however did get a little sea sick so I would recommend taking motion sickness pills to help. Also I would bring a towel
Aloha Tobi,
Mahalo for your 5-Star review! Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. Motion sickness medication is a great recommendation, especially if it is something a guest is prone to. We offer PSI bands for sale on every tour for those who forget, as well. We are glad you enjoyed the crew and were comfortable on the bus. Please come again some day, and consider joining us for our other And You Creations tours! Aloha!

I swam with about 10 participants and 2 instructors. The sea was beautiful and clear, and just swimming felt really good. On that day, I was surprised to see a seal napping on the beach. I couldn't find a sea turtle right away, but I was glad to see one in the end. The sea turtles are cute, and even with people around, they swim gracefully, making it fun to swim alongside them. I probably wouldn't have been able to find them on my own. It's important to remember to wear your swimsuit under your clothes, as there may not be time to change.
10人くらいの参加者と2人のインストラクターで泳ぎました。海は綺麗で澄んでいて、ただ泳いでいるだけでとても気持ち良かったです。
この日は、なんとアザラシがビーチでお昼寝をしていて、びっくりしました。
海亀はすぐには見つかりませんでしたが、最後に見つかって良かったです。
海亀はかわいくて、人が周りにいても優雅に泳いでいるので、楽しく一緒に泳げました。
たぶん個人では絶対に見つけられなかったとおもいます。
水着は、服の下に着て行くのを忘れると、着替える時間がないので注意が必要です。
Dear Emi-chan, thank you for participating in the tour. On that day, there was quite a significant low tide, so I thought we might not be able to swim over the coral reef and that there might not be any sea turtles inside. However, we were very lucky to find them in the beautiful Sandman's Patch. It was great that you were able to swim with the sea turtles for a long time! You were truly a fortunate guest to also meet the seals!!
We would be delighted if you could join our tour again when you come back to Hawaii. We are always here waiting for you.
Thank you very much. Mahalo!!
えみちゃん様、この度はツアーにご参加いただき、ありがとうございます。この日はかなりの引き潮でしたのでサンゴ礁の上を泳ぐことができず、ウミガメもインサイドにいないかもしれないなあと思っていましたが、とてもラッキーなことにサンドマンズパッチの綺麗なところで見つけることができました。ずっと一緒にウミガメと泳ぐことが出来て良かったですね!それにアザラシにも会えて本当に幸運なお客様です!!
是非またハワイにお越しの際には私たちのツアーにリピートしていただければ嬉しいです。いつでもお待ちしております。
本当にありがとうございました。Mahalo!!

Dear Yuyu, thank you for joining the Blue Hawaii Divers tour. I'm very happy to hear that you and Dan enjoyed the tour!! The sea conditions were great that morning, and we were very lucky to see seals in the water. While they look cute when they're sleeping on the beach, they seem huge and a bit intimidating when seen underwater, but it's quite rare to see them like that. It was also great that you got to meet a turtle at the end of the tour. I hope you both will consider joining us again. Thank you very much. Mahalo!!
ユーユー様、この度はブルーハワイダイバースのツアーにお越しいただき、ありがとうございます。ツアーを楽しんでいただけたようで、私もDanもとても嬉しいです!!この日の午前は海の状態も良く、とてもラッキーなことに海の中でアザラシを見ることができましたね。ビーチで寝ている時は可愛いアザラシも、水の中で見ると巨大でちょっと怖い感じでしたが、水中で見れるのはとても珍しいことなんですよ。ツアー最後にはカメにも会えて良かったですね。ぜひまたお二人でリピートしていただけたらと思います。本当にありがとうございました。Mahalo!!
