サンドバー キャプテンブルース 天国の海®︎シュノーケリングクルーズ SUPや浮き輪などレンタルアイテムも!<午前・午後/日本語クルー>

I used it during the New Year holidays. Swimming with sea turtles was amazing! 年末年始に利用。ウミガメと一緒に泳げて最高!

Reviewed by: えいこ

I used the first flight on the morning of December 30th for the New Year's holiday. The captain spoke in English, but then a female staff member named Izumi kindly explained everything in Japanese, which made my first snorkeling experience worry-free.

The weather was a bit cold, and it rained partway through, but not only were we able to see many sea turtles, we also got to swim with them.

There were other tours with various options that I considered, but I'm glad I chose Captain Cruise!

年末年始(12月30日)の朝一便を利用しました。
キャプテンは英語を使用されますがその後で女性スタッフのイズミさんが日本語で丁寧に説明してくださり、初めてのシュノーケリングも不安なく体験できました。

天候は少し寒く、雨も途中降ったりしましたが、ウミガメを沢山見ることができただけでなく、一緒に泳ぐことも出来ました。

色んなオプションが付く他社ツアーもあり、悩みましたが、キャプテンクルーズを選んでよかったです!

Tips and suggestions

If you go in winter, depending on the weather, it can get cold on the return boat, so I recommend bringing a long-sleeve T-shirt or a lightweight UNIQLO Airism parka in addition to your rash guard. Al

Tips and suggestions

冬に行く場合は天候によっては帰りの船で寒くなるので、ラッシュガード以外に長袖Tシャツや、薄手のUNIQLOエアリズムパーカーを持参することをお勧めします。
また、タオルは必須です!

I recommend it. オススメです

Reviewed by: こま

I participated in early December, and unfortunately, the weather was quite chilly and rainy, but I still had a great time. There were beautiful coral reefs nearby, and fish were swimming right in front of me. Just peeking into the water was captivating, and while enjoying other activities, time flew by quickly. During the round trip to the sandbar, there was also a performance by the crew, and the captain and crew's stories were entertaining as well.

参加日は12月初旬あいにく肌寒く、雨も降るイマイチな天候でしたがそれでも存分に楽しめました。
綺麗なサンゴ礁が近くにあり、目の前を魚が回遊しています。海中を覗くだけで夢中になれますし、他のアクティビティも堪能していると、あっという間に時間がなくなります。
サンドバーまでの往復中も、クルーの演奏もあり、また船長やクルーたちのお話も面白かったです。

I was thrilled to see the turtles again this year. 今年もカメをみられて感激でした

Reviewed by: きょうこさん

Once again this year, I had the pleasure of being taken care of by Chieko-san, and it was a delightful and moving experience. My husband and I are 66 years old, so we were a bit concerned about our physical stamina, but we were amazed by the fish and turtles, and the hour flew by in no time. We were able to see a pair of turtles, and we also saw a turtle coming up to the surface for air. This year, we created the best memories once again.

昨年に引き続き今年もチエコさんにお世話になり楽しく感激しましたよ。主人と私は66歳なので体力的にどうかなと思っていましたが魚や亀に感激してあっという間の1時間でした。ペアの亀を観られたし呼吸のため水面から顔を出す亀もみられたし、今年も最高の思い出ができました。

The team was extremely helpful in explaining the events. I brought my wife and in-laws from Japan with us. We felt the Aloha immediately! We were worried about the cloudy morning but just as we set sail the sun came out in during our ride. We got to spend a good amount of time in the sun and enjoyed the music from the performers on board. Tip your performers, people! They can sing all the island tunes 10/10. We will certainly book again for our next trip and bring our kids. Mahalo and many thanks from Seattle, Wa.

It was disappointing due to the rainy weather, but... 雨天で残念でしたが・・・

Reviewed by: NANA半

Although the weather was unfortunate with rain, I was able to see turtles and manta rays (just their fins, though...) and was once again amazed by the size of the manta rays. The rain made the sea murky, so the coral wasn't visible in its beauty, and I couldn't enjoy the beach due to the tides and changing weather. However, the cheerful Japanese female staff and other staff brightened my mood. All the participants were also cheerful, which made me feel like I was in a tropical paradise. There were many English speakers, and I was disappointed that I couldn't enjoy conversations due to my lack of English skills; it made me think I should study English. On the way back, the captain came to greet us, making it a tour that didn't let the rain get us down.

天候に恵まれず生憎の雨天でしたが、亀やマンタのひれ(ひれのみでしたが・・・)を見ることができマンタの大きさに改めてびっくりしました。
雨で海も濁ってしまい、サンゴはきれいには見えず、ビーチも潮のかげんや天候の変動でか見ることはできませんでしたが、日本人の女性スタッフや他のスタッフも明るく、気持ちが明るくなりました。
参加者も皆さん明るく、南国だな~と思いました。

The beautiful sea and the best hospitality!! 綺麗な海と最高のもてなしでした!!

Reviewed by: yu_imo

I participated with my family of four: my second-grade daughter, my preschool son, my husband, and myself. It rained the entire time we were in Honolulu, but during this angelic sea tour, it was sunny (though there were a few light showers), and we were able to fully enjoy the beautiful sandbar.

The water at the sandbar was about waist-deep for adults, but it was shallow enough for the kids to stand, which made it safe. We played by floating with our inner tubes and snorkeling to peek into the sea. The water was incredibly clear and beautiful.

At one point, we caught a whiff of delicious grilled meat! My son raved that the hamburger and boiled beans for lunch were the best he had ever tasted!

After that, we went on a sea turtle search! We were able to see several sea turtles surfacing for air, and we even encountered a manta ray!

For the final snorkeling around the coral, my daughter and I participated! The wind was strong, and we were swept by the waves, but with some help, we discovered a sea turtle's resting spot and saw octopuses and fish as well.

We were even treated to drinks and snacks, allowing both of our kids to have a great time.

小2の娘と、年少の息子と夫と私の家族4人で参加しました。ホノルル滞在中、ずーっと雨でしたが、この天使の海のツアー中だけは晴れて(多少、小雨の時もあったけど)、綺麗なサンドバーを満喫できました。
サンドバーは、大人の腰くらいまでは水があったのですが、子供も足がつくので安心。浮き輪つけて浮かんだり、海の中をシュノーケルで覗いたりして遊びました。とにかく海の水が透明できれいでした。
途中から、お肉を焼いてるいい匂い〜!!息子はこのお昼ご飯のハンバーガーと煮豆が一番美味しかった!と大絶賛でした。
その後は海亀探し!海亀の息継ぎを何匹も見れて、なんとマンタにまで遭遇できました。
最後の珊瑚の周りのシュノーケルは、娘と私で参加!風が強くて波に流されたりしましたが、助けてもらって、海亀の寝床を発見したり、タコとかお魚も見れました。
飲み物や、お菓子までおもてなししていただき、子供2人とも楽しく過ごすことができました。

ハナウマ湾シャトルサービス シュノーケリングセットレンタル付き<英語ドライバー>

I wholeheartedly recommend the Hanauma Bay snorkeling tour. 心からおすすめできるハナウマ湾シュノーケルツアー

Reviewed by: Katie

I recently visited Hanauma Bay using a tour from Veltra. Among the many tours available, the fact that they provide free transportation along with snorkeling masks and fins was a great deal and a key factor in my decision to participate.

Additionally, children under 12 and Hawaii residents can enter for free by showing an ID, making it a very accessible spot for families and locals. It's a place that is usually difficult to visit individually, but thanks to the tour, I was able to go there with peace of mind.

The water is mostly shallow, creating an environment where even snorkeling beginners can enjoy themselves without any difficulty. A friend who joined me, who has snorkeling experience in Okinawa's Miyako Island, was constantly amazed, saying, "The fish in Hawaii are just so big and impressive!"

Furthermore, Hanauma Bay has a limit on the number of visitors, so it doesn't feel crowded, and both the underwater scenery and the landscape are beautifully preserved. I was able to fully enjoy nature in a quiet and calm atmosphere, and it truly became an experience that made me think, "I definitely want to visit again."

Overall, I was very satisfied with both the service and the environment of the tour. I highly recommend this spot for creating memories in Hawaii.

このたびベルトラのツアーを利用してハナウマ湾を訪れました。
数あるツアーの中でも、送迎に加えてシュノーケルマスクとフィンが無料で利用できる点が大変お得で、参加の決め手となりました。

また、12歳以下のお子様とハワイ在住者は、IDを提示すれば入場料が無料になるため、家族連れや在住者にとっても非常に利用しやすいスポットだと感じました。普段は個人では訪れにくい場所ですが、ツアーのおかげで安心して向かうことができました。

海は浅瀬が中心で、シュノーケル初心者の方でも無理なく楽しめる環境が整っています。同行した友人(沖縄・宮古島でのシュノーケル経験あり)は、
「ハワイの魚はとにかく大きくて迫力がある!」と、終始感動しておりました。

さらに、ハナウマ湾は人数制限が設けられているため、混雑感がなく、水中も景観もとても美しく保たれています。静かで落ち着いた雰囲気の中で自然を満喫でき、心から「また必ず訪れたい」と思える体験となりました。

全体を通して、サービス内容・環境ともに大変満足度の高いツアーでした。ハワイでの思い出作りに、ぜひおすすめしたいスポットです。

ハナウマ湾シュノーケリング ベテラン日本語ガイドがご案内する少人数制ツアー 貸切プランあり<半日>

My first snorkeling experience was amazing!! 人生初のシュノーケリング最高でした!!

Reviewed by: ピヨこ

As a couple, it was our first time snorkeling and we were inexperienced with overseas travel, but a Japanese instructor came to pick us up in Waikiki. We were able to have fun conversations in the car, which made us feel at ease. Once we arrived at the location, the instructor patiently taught us everything, starting with how to wear the wetsuits.

We were taken to a spot where we could see sea turtles and had the wonderful experience of swimming alongside them! We also encountered beautiful schools of fish in Hawaii, and it was an amazing experience that we couldn't have had on our own! Additionally, the instructor took photos for us throughout the trip, allowing us to capture these memories perfectly, which we greatly appreciated!

夫婦共に初めてのシュノーケリングかつ不慣れな海外でしたが、日本人インストラクターの方がワイキキまで迎えにきてくださり、車内でも楽しくお話し出来て、安心して臨むことが出来ました。現地についてからはウェットスーツの着用方法から、全て丁寧に教えてくださいます。
ウミガメがいそうなスポットに連れて行ってもらえて、一緒に泳ぐことができ素敵な思い出になりました!他にもハワイの綺麗なお魚たちの群れに出会うことも出来ましたし、自分たちだけでは出来ないような素晴らしい体験をすることが出来ました!またインストラクター方が随時写真を撮ってくださるので、しっかり思い出として形に残すこともでき有り難かったです!

To prevent cold and injuries from the water temperature, wearing a wetsuit is recommended! Also, for those who are prone to seasickness, I think taking motion sickness medication is essential.

Thank you for joining our tour. I'm very happy to hear that you enjoyed your first snorkeling experience. It was great that you got to meet the cute sea turtles in Hanauma Bay. I hope you will consider repeating the tour when you come back to Hawaii. On your second snorkeling trip, you'll find it much easier to breathe and you'll be able to swim freely, which will double the fun! I look forward to seeing you again in Hawaii anytime. Thank you very much. Mahalo!!

この度はツアーにお越しいただき、ありがとうございました。初めてのシュノーケリングを楽しんでいただけたようで私もとても嬉しいです。ハナウマ湾の可愛いウミガメにも会えて良かったですね。是非またハワイにお越しの際にはツアーにリピートしていただけたらと思います。2回目のシュノーケリングはもっと楽に呼吸が出来て、もっともっと自分で自由に泳げて楽しさが倍増ですよ。ハワイでまたお会いできるのを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‼︎

It was the best dolphin experience. 最高のイルカ体験でした

Reviewed by: みゆみゆ

There were sudden changes, but we received polite communication in advance, and we were upgraded without any additional cost. We had a great time swimming with dolphins and sea turtles. The snorkeling experience allowed us to see beautiful fish, making it a very satisfying experience.

In addition to the tour, our guide, Minako, shared various stories and even listened to life advice, allowing us to share a genuinely human experience. It was a fulfilling time. The sandwiches for lunch were also delicious.

Everyone was cheerful, and we had a fun time, creating wonderful memories. I want to recommend this to my friends, and I would love to participate again with my daughter.

急な変更はありましたが、事前に丁寧な対応があり、料金そのままでグレードアップで、楽しくイルカ、海亀と泳げました。

It was a very good experience. とてもいい経験でした

Reviewed by: ゆき

The transportation and everything else was taken care of perfectly. It's reassuring that there is always someone who can speak Japanese, and there were plenty of turtles to see, so it felt like we had a turtle tour as well. 🤣

Meals and drinks were included, and there were plenty of activities besides snorkeling, which was great. On the bus ride there, they provided explanations of the tourist spots (in English, but it was simple enough to understand), so I think it's a good idea to go on the first day. ☺︎

送迎から何から何まで至れり尽くせりでした。必ず日本語が話せる人がいるので安心ですし、亀もたくさんみれるので亀ツアーもしたようなもの🤣

食事飲み物もついていてシュノーケル以外にもアクティビティ豊富で良かったです。行きのバスで行きながら観光地の説明(英語ではありますが簡単な英語なのでわかります)もあったので初日とかに行くといいと思います☺︎

The water was about waist-deep, but it was beautiful. I was glad to see both sleeping and swimming sea turtles while snorkeling in the coral reef. On the boat, there were spam rice balls, snacks, coffee, miso soup, and soft drinks, which were a nice treat for my tired body.

腰くらいまで水がありましたが、綺麗でした。シュノーケルでは、珊瑚礁で寝ている海ガメも、泳いでる海ガメもみれてよかったです。

I'm glad I participated! 参加して正解!

Reviewed by: タケ

Depending on the time of participation, a shuttle bus picks you up at the hotel at 9:30 in the morning, which was just right—not too early. There were participants from various nationalities, but the Japanese guide provided interpretation and was friendly while chatting on the boat, making it very reassuring and enjoyable.

The wetsuits are available for a fee, but wearing a free life jacket is mandatory. I think those who can swim should be fine without a suit. For small children, having a floatation device is comforting. The sea is deep enough that you can't touch the bottom at all, so it might be a bit scary for kids.

On the day we participated, it was somewhat windy, and some people experienced seasickness. If you're prone to motion sickness, it's a good idea to bring some medication.

On the way back, we encountered a pod of spinner dolphins and even saw a baby dolphin. According to the guide, they had worked at Dolphin University for two years and said, "There hasn't been a day when I didn't see them." The dolphins swam alongside the boat and jumped, creating a special time with the wild dolphins that excited the children greatly.

参加時期によりますが、朝は9:30にホテルまでシャトルバスが迎えに来てくれ、早すぎずちょうど良かったです。さまざまな国籍の方が参加していましたが、日本人ガイドさんが通訳してくれたり、船の上でも気さくに話しかけてくれたりして、とても安心して楽しめました。

ウェットスーツは有料ですが、無料のライフジャケット着用が必須です。泳げる方はスーツなしでも問題ないと思います。小さなお子さんは浮き輪があると安心。海は足が全くつかない深さなので、子どもにとっては少し怖いかもしれません。

私たちが参加した日はやや風が強く、船酔いしてしまう方もいました。酔いやすい人は酔い止めを持参しておくと安心です。

帰り道ではハシナガイルカの群れに遭遇し、赤ちゃんイルカまで見られました。ガイドさんによると、2年間イルカ大学で働いていて「会えなかった日はない」とのこと。船と並走したりジャンプしたりと、野生のイルカと過ごす特別な時間に子どもも大興奮でした。
