I participated with the mindset that I might be lucky, but I really got to see sea turtles (there were at least 7 or 8 during the snorkeling), and while I couldn't touch them, they swam and rested right nearby, which made me feel calm.
There were also many fish swimming around, and I had fun trying stand-up paddleboarding in the shallow waters. It was a wonderful day, not only while I was in the ocean but also relaxing on the boat while enjoying the beautiful scenery. Spending a day on this tour during my short stay in Hawaii was definitely the right choice. I highly recommend it.
運がよければ、くらいのつもりで参加しましたが、本当に海亀と出会えて(シュノーケリングの間だけで少なくとも7、8匹はいました)、もちろん触ったりはできませんが、すぐ近くにで泳いだり休んだりしててこちらまで穏やかな気持ちになりました。
他にもたくさんの魚が泳いでいたり、浅瀬でサップの体験もできて楽しい1日でした。自分が海にいる間はもちろん、船上で休みながら綺麗な景色を眺める時間もリラックスできて最高でした。短いハワイ滞在中、1日はこのツアーに時間を使って大正解でした。おすすめです。
日焼けが心配でしたが、海から上がってる間は船の日陰部分の席に座れば問題無かったです。サップを体験したい方は日焼け防止に長袖のラッシュガードがおすすめです。
Aloha! Thank you very much for joining the Captain Bruce's Heavenly Ocean Tour. We look forward to seeing you again in Heavenly Ocean, along with the sea turtles. A hui hou!

The banana boat can accommodate six people in two rows for two families. It was so much fun! You won't get thrown off. Due to the tides, we couldn't reach the sandy beach, but that's understandable. You don't need water shoes at all. Both stand-up paddleboarding and kayaking were enjoyable, and even though we didn't see any turtles, we were happy to see lots of fish. Staying in the water for too long can get chilly, and if you get out while still wet, it gets even colder, so having a dry towel or a dry jacket is necessary. There are cold juices or water on the boat, but you can pay for hot coffee. My daughter and I kept drinking hot water to warm ourselves up. Also, my husband almost caused a commotion when he dropped his phone, which was in a waterproof bag, but the staff found it, and we were really grateful for that. Thank you so much for your help at that time. Next time, I’d like to go when the sandy beach is visible!
バナナボートは2家族の横2列の6人乗り。めっちゃ楽しかったです。振り落とされる事はありません。潮の満ち引きなので仕方ないですが砂浜には出会えませんでした。ウォーターシューズはなくても全然大丈夫。サップもカヤックも楽しかったし、カメには出会えなかったけどたくさんの魚を見られて良かったです。海の中にずっといると冷えるし、上がっても濡れたままだと更に冷えるので、乾いたタオルか乾いた上着が必要です。船上には冷たいジュースか水ですが、お金を払えば暖かいコーヒーがあります。私と娘はお湯をひたすら飲んで身体を温めました。あと、旦那が防水袋に入れたスマホを落としてしまい、大騒ぎになりかけましたが、スタッフが見つけてくれて本当に助かりました。あの時はありがとうございました。次は砂浜が出てる時に行ってみたいですね〜
You don't need to change, but please bring a dry long-sleeve jacket.
着替えるまでもないけど、乾いた長袖上着を持って行ってください。
Aloha Hi-chan,
Thank you for participating in the KBOS tour and for your thoughtful review along with the photos!
We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed the banana boat, SUP, and kayaking. It was unfortunate that the beach was not visible due to the tide timing, but we hope that encountering the beautiful sea and many fish created enjoyable memories for you.
We also appreciate your advice on cold weather preparation and for sharing the story about the staff searching for your smartphone. We are so glad it was found safely!
We hope you will visit us again next time when the beach is fully visible. Our staff is looking forward to welcoming you back.

I had the opportunity to go snorkeling in Okinawa, and this was my second time. I felt secure participating with a Japanese instructor. Although we didn't see any sea turtles, they helped us search for spots where we might find them while considering our stamina.
They took care of everyone's valuables and provided changing areas, showers, and restrooms, but since it was a tour, everything was done efficiently. They also offered wetsuit rentals for a fee, explaining that it would help prevent injuries from coral and keep us warm. They advised us to keep swimming without lifting our heads when we found coral (lifting our heads would cause our feet to drop and hit the coral), so wearing just a swimsuit was fine.
The afternoon session was hot, so I didn't feel cold, but my thighs got sunburned while diving. They laid down mats on the sandy beach to keep things clean, and I appreciated the bottled water and snacks provided.
I wasn't used to the tipping culture and missed the chance to give a tip, so I thought it would have been easier if they had included the tip in the total amount when I paid the $25 entrance fee for Hanauma Bay. The service was excellent, so I recommend it even for those who are anxious about their English skills.
シュノーケリングは沖縄でやったことがあり2回目でしたが、日本語インストラクターで安心して参加できました。
ウミガメは見られませんでしたが、私達の体力を気にしつつ何度かウミガメがいそうな場所を一緒に探して下さいました。
貴重品は皆のをまとめて保管して頂けて、着替える場所やシャワー、トイレはありますが、ツアーなのでテキパキにという感じです。有料でスウェットスーツの貸出もあり、珊瑚で怪我しないようにするのと、寒さ対策できるとの説明はありましたが、珊瑚を見つけたら泳ぎ続けて顔を上げないように(顔を上げると足が下がってぶつかるため)アドバイス頂き水着でも大丈夫でした。また午後の回は暑かったので寒さは感じませんでしたが、潜っていても腿の裏が真っ赤に日焼けしてました。
砂浜で汚れないようにシートを敷いて下さったり、ペットボトルの水やスナック菓子も頂けて有難かったです。
チップ文化に慣れておらず渡しそびれてしまったので、ハナウマ湾の入場料25$をお渡しする際にチップも含んだ金額で仰って頂けたら、チップお渡ししやすかったかなと思いました。サービスは大満足なので英語が不安な方にもオススメです。
I recommend wearing a wetsuit and taking sun protection measures for snorkeling, as I got sunburned more than I expected.
想像以上に日焼けしたので、スウェットスーツを着たり、日焼け対策をしてシュノーケリングされるのをオススメします。
Thank you for participating in the tour. I'm sorry to hear that you didn't see any sea turtles. If you come back to Hawaii, I will do my best to help you find them next time! We look forward to your next visit. Thank you. Mahalo!!
この度はツアーにご参加くださり、ありがとうございました。海亀には会えなかったとの事、ごめんなさいね。またハワイにお越しの際にツアーに来ていただければ、次こそは海亀ちゃんを見つけてあげられるように頑張ります!またのお越しをお待ちしております。ありがとうございました。Mahalo!!

Recently, I participated in a snorkeling tour called "Dolphin Middle School" in Hawaii, where I got to meet dolphins and sea turtles, a dream I've had for a long time! We departed from Waikiki by shuttle bus before 6 AM. I was still a bit sleepy, but just looking at the blue sky lifted my spirits!
🛥️ Setting sail and searching for dolphins
We boarded a boat at Waianae Harbor on the west side of Oahu, where the crew provided explanations in English. Yuji, a member of the crew, personally guided me, which made me feel at ease. The ocean was unbelievably blue and clear! After a while, the crew shouted:
“Dolphins!!”
Several dolphins jumped alongside the boat! Everyone couldn't help but cheer. It was so moving to see wild dolphins so close…
🐬 Swimming with dolphins!
We arrived at the snorkeling point and finally entered the water. It was a bit cold at first, but felt great!
Looking down, I saw a pod of dolphins swimming gracefully, and it truly felt like we were sharing the same ocean.
The crew guided us expertly, making it easy for beginners to feel comfortable. We dove three times to swim with the dolphins. At first, we observed from a distance, but during the second dive, I was able to observe and swim closely with many dolphins, which was incredibly satisfying.
🐢 Next, the sea turtle point
After the dolphins, we moved to the sea turtle spot. The visibility here was also excellent! While swimming among the corals, a large sea turtle suddenly appeared right in front of me.
Its leisurely swimming was truly graceful. We had to maintain a distance to avoid getting too close, but swimming alongside it was part of the rules. The moment our eyes met, it looked as if it was smiling, which was very touching.
It seems that returning participants receive a permanent discount, so I definitely want to join again the next time I visit Hawaii.
先日、ハワイにてずっと夢だったイルカとウミガメに会えるシュノーケルツアー イルカ中学に参加しました!朝6時前に、ワイキキから送迎バスで出発。まだ少し眠いけど、青空を見てるだけでテンションが上がる!
🛥️ 出航からイルカ探し
西オアフのワイアナエ港からボートに乗り込み、クルーが英語で説明してくれました。日本人の私には同クルーのYujiさんが個別で教えていただき、安心感を持って参加できました。
海は信じられないくらい青くて透明!しばらく走ると、
クルー:「Dolphins!!」
イルカが何頭もボートの横をジャンプしながら並走!思わずみんな歓声。野生のイルカが本当にあんなに近くで見られるなんて感動…。
🐬 イルカと一緒に泳ぐ!
シュノーケルポイントに到着し、いよいよ海へ。海に入った瞬間、少し冷たいけど気持ちいい!
下を見ると、イルカの群れがスイスイ泳いでいて、本当に一緒の海を共有してる感覚。
クルーがうまく誘導してくれるので初心者でも安心。イルカとのスイムは計3回ダイブしました。最初は少し遠めでの観察でしたが、2回目は写真の通りたくさんのイルカを直近で観察&一緒にスイムできて大変満足でした。
🐢 次は海亀ポイント
イルカの後は、海亀スポットへ移動。ここでも透明度抜群!サンゴの間を泳いでいたら、突然目の前に大きなウミガメが登場。
ゆったり泳ぐ姿は本当に優雅。近づきすぎないよう距離を保ちながら、一緒に泳ぐのがルール。目が合った瞬間、まるで微笑んでるように見えて感動的でした。
2回目以降の参加は半永久的に割引が適用されるようで次回ハワイに訪れた際にもぜひ参加したいと思いました。
<Positive Points>
Wild dolphins and sea turtles are really close!
There is someone on the crew who speaks Japanese, so it's reassuring.
<Points to Note>
It's early in the morning, so be caref

野生のイルカ・海亀が本当に近い!

Beautiful spot, tide wasn't super low (which you can't really control) but the snorkeling was just mediocre, per my friends that did it. We were on the boat most of the time eating cup of noodles, the live music was awesome and one of the guys that took people out for the banana ride was super nice and fun to chat with. The guy handing out goggles was a bit all over the place, I stood in line twice to get my goggles and he kept giving everyone theirs as I just stood there waiting and I almost thought he was doing that on purpose as it happened 2x so I just gave up and said well I guess I'm not snorkeling today. That was a bit disappointing. I think for the price, it wasn't really worth it. There are better tours here on the island.
Aloha Trina,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us.
We're glad to hear you enjoyed the live music and had a great interaction with one of our banana boat crew—those moments are what we love to hear about! That said, we're truly sorry to hear about your experience with the snorkeling gear distribution. That’s definitely not the level of service we aim to provide, and we appreciate you bringing it to our attention. We’ll be reviewing this with our team to make sure all guests are treated fairly and promptly.
We understand that ocean conditions and value for cost are important, and we always strive to deliver an experience that feels worthwhile from start to finish. We hope you'll consider giving us another try in the future, perhaps during a lower tide when the sandbar is more visible and the water conditions are more favorable.

This is my fourth experience at Angel's Sea, including other companies. Not in a bad way, but I was surprised by how many people there were, and since it was my first time being picked up by a large bus, I was worried about how it would go. However, they divided us into a foreign team and a Japanese team, and we had a great time throughout. They were also kind to families with children, which made me feel at ease. I was satisfied with seeing many sea turtles, and it looked like people were having fun playing beach volleyball at Angel's Sea. The lunch was also more delicious than I expected.
天使の海は他社を含めて四回目の体験です?悪い意味ではなく思った以上に人が多く初めて大型バスでのお迎えだったのでどうなることやらと心配しましたが、外国人チームと日本人チームに分けてくださり、終始楽しく過ごせました。子連れにも親切にしてくださり安心でした。海亀もたくさん見れて満足ですし、天使の海はビーチバレーしてる方もいらっしゃり楽しそうでした。ランチも思ってる以上に絶品です。

The sea was beautiful, and we had plenty of time to take photos, play with the stand-up paddleboards, floaties, and go snorkeling. We had an amazing time!!
The staff were all fun and kind. When I lost something, they continued to search for it even the day after we left, and I am very grateful for that. They made sure that the participants had the best time to create wonderful memories of their trip!!
It was such a great experience that I definitely want to go back if I have the chance to visit Hawaii again. 😊
海は綺麗で写真を撮る時間、サップ、浮き輪、シュノーケリングなど遊ぶ時間がたっぷりあり、思いっきり楽しめました!!
スタッフの方も楽しく、優しい方達ばかりです。
無くし物をした時は、私たちが帰った次の日も探してくれてとても感謝しています。
参加者たちの旅行が最高な思い出になるように最高の時間にしてくれました!!
またハワイに行く機会があったら絶対行きたいと思えるような時間でした(^^)
Please make sure to hold onto your important belongings! I dropped my iPhone in the sea (꒪д꒪II). I'm really grateful that the staff found it the next day. Everyone, please be careful! ( ;∀;)

The sandbar wasn't out, but it was shallow, so my family enjoyed stand-up paddleboarding (SUP). In the second half, we went snorkeling in deeper areas with coral reefs 😃 and were able to see fish and sea turtles 💓. A Japanese staff member explained everything, so it was fine even if we didn't understand English. They also prepared spam onigiri and drinks, which we enjoyed. I was a bit hungry, so it was delicious 😊.
サンドバーは出てませんでしたが浅くなってたので家族でsupを楽しみました。後半は珊瑚礁のある深いところでシュノーケリングをしました😃魚やウミガメを見ることができました💓日本人のスタッフさんが説明してくださり英語がわからなくても大丈夫でした。スパムおにぎりや飲み物も用意してくださってたのでいただきました。小腹が空いてたので美味しかったです😊
If you can swim, definitely try snorkeling! 😃
泳げる方はぜひシュノーケリングも体験してください😃

I was able to enjoy the tour without worrying about the language thanks to KEN, who is Japanese. I am grateful to KEN. Thank you very much. It became the best memory as I was able to see both dolphins and sea turtles.

Our honeymoon trip to Hawaii was amazing! There were Japanese staff members who explained everything to us, and other staff spoke Japanese in a friendly manner, making our time enjoyable! We tried stand-up paddleboarding, snorkeling, and kayaking. Although there were limited numbers for stand-up paddleboarding and kayaking, people gradually got bored, so it naturally came around to our turn, which was funny. There was also a space for volleyball! The light snack donuts were tastier than I expected! I wish I had brought marine shoes for snorkeling. The shuttle bus was cold.
新婚旅行で初ハワイ!
日本人のスタッフさんもいて説明してくださり、その他のスタッフさんもカタコトで日本語を話してフレンドリーに話してくださり、楽しい時間を過ごせました!
supやシュノーケル、カヤックをしました。
supやカヤックは数に限りがあるものの、次第にみなさん飽きるので、おのずと順番が回ってきます笑
バレーボール🏐もできるスペースもありました!
軽食のドーナツも思ったより美味しかったです!シュノーケルのときは、マリンシューズとかも持って行ってたらよかったなーと。
送迎のバスが寒かったです。
On the way there, I could manage the cold with a towel, but on the way back, I had to ride the bus with my swimsuit still wet, which made me feel cold. So, I think it would have been better if there w
行きの寒さはタオルでしのげますが、帰りは水着が濡れた状態でバスに乗るので体が冷えます。なので、船に更衣室が1室ですが、あるので、着替えてからバスに乗車してもよかったなと思います。
Aloha Omochi,

Since we had a Japanese guide, we were able to relax and enjoy snorkeling with explanations in Japanese! My friend, who was snorkeling for the first time, had a great time! It was amazing to see the fish up close!
日本人のガイドさんだったので、日本語で説明いただき、安心してシュノーケルができました!一緒に行った友人は初シュノーケルでしたが、とても楽しんでいました!魚が近くで見えて感激です!
There is a place to shower and change, so I think it's a good idea for those with plans to bring a change of clothes!

The sandbar, which I was most looking forward to on my trip to Hawaii, was an experience beyond my imagination!
The white sandy beach that appears right in the middle of the emerald green sea is truly a "heavenly ocean." Looking around, the panoramic view is breathtaking in every direction. The scale is something that photos can't capture, and I was simply moved…!
Spending time leisurely on the boat while feeling the sea breeze was also the best.
ハワイ旅行で一番楽しみにしていた、サンドバー。想像以上の感動体験でした!
エメラルドグリーンの海のど真ん中に現れる白い砂浜はまさに“天国の海”。
周囲を見渡せば360度パノラマの絶景。写真じゃ伝わらないスケール感に、ただただ感動…!
ボートで海風を感じながらのんびり過ごす時間も最高でした。

I was able to see many dolphins and honu! I was moved by the pod of dolphins swimming close to the boat! I was worried about my 5-year-old, but as expected, they seemed scared when they jumped into the sea and cried a lot underwater... However, the staff were very kind and supportive, which was a great comfort for me as a mother. On the boat, my child enjoyed watching the dolphins and eating snacks. My elementary school-aged siblings particularly enjoyed the slide and went down it multiple times. I was disappointed that I couldn't see any fish while snorkeling, but that's just how nature is! Thanks to all the cute dolphins and the cheerful staff, I made the best memories!
たくさんのイルカもホヌも見れました!
船に寄り添って泳ぐイルカの群れに感動!
5歳の子連れは心配でしたが、予想通り海に飛び込んだのが怖かったようで海の中では大泣きでした…でもスタッフさんが優しくフォローして下さり、母としては大変心強かったです。船の上では楽しそうにイルカを眺めたりお菓子を食べて満喫していました。
小学生の兄弟は、特にスライダーが楽しかったようで何度も滑っていました。
楽しみにしていたシュノーケルはお魚が見れなくて残念でしたが、これも自然が相手だから仕方ないこと!
その分たくさんの可愛いイルカと陽気なスタッフのおかげでサイコーの思い出が出来ました!
It was hot in June, but the water was cold. Even after getting out, it was colder than I expected, so it's definitely better to rent a wetsuit! I was shivering (laughs).
6月で暑かったですが、海の中は冷たかったです。あがったあとも思ったより冷えたのでウエットスーツ借りた方が絶対いいです!震えます(笑)
