I was able to see a sea turtle right in front of me! ☆ 目の前で海ガメが見れました☆

Reviewed by: YOKO

I had an amazing time! Luckily, I was able to see a sea turtle right in front of me, which was so moving! I had heard that sometimes you can see them and sometimes you can't, so I was very satisfied to see one! I participated in the afternoon tour, and the food on the boat was incredibly delicious, and I ate a lot! The meat, in particular, was really tasty! I didn't go snorkeling; I just kept eating! The ocean was, as expected, like paradise, and it felt much cleaner than Waikiki Beach!

すごく楽しかったです!運良く、目の前で海ガメが見れて感動しました☆海ガメは見れる時と見れない時があると聞いていたのですが、見れて大満足でした!午後のツアーに参加しましたが、船の中でのお食事がすごく美味しくて沢山食べました!特にお肉がすごく美味しかったです!シュノーケリングには行かずに、ずっと食べてました!海も、さすが天国の海というだけあって、ワイキキのビーチよりもすごく綺麗に感じました!

Great snorkeling tour with Dan and Chieko. The four of us were snorkeling novices and senior citizens and they were extremely patient and hands on. We saw some beautiful fish and reef and had a great time.

イルカ中学 野生のイルカ&ウミガメシュノーケリングクルーズ 高速ボートでイルカ遭遇率アップ!<少人数制/ワイキキ&コオリナ送迎可/日本語/ランチ付き>

It's a series of moving experiences! 感動の連続です!

Reviewed by: 馬場ひとみ

I felt sleepy while gathering at 6:05 AM. Since there was an explanation on the bus, I couldn't sleep. I had to pay close attention to this explanation. Also, I recommend having breakfast beforehand! It requires a lot of energy, and I felt quite exhausted. I took motion sickness medication at the hotel, so I didn't get seasick.

I was worried because it had rained all day the previous day, but it was sunny on the day of the trip! There was an explanation that we wouldn't necessarily see wild dolphins 100% of the time, and I was excited while on the boat!

It seems there were nine boats out at sea that day, but we had a hard time finding dolphins. We ended up going to see sea turtles first. Jumping into the sea was thrilling!

We quickly encountered sea turtles and saw them three times; one of them was a large 70-year-old male, which was impressive. The guide mentioned that male turtles are rare. Their breathing poses are so cute! The sea and the fish were very beautiful.

Once we got back on the boat, we received information that dolphins had been found, which was a relief. We moved to search for dolphins and found them!

Wild dolphins pass by in an instant, so it's best to pay attention to the guide's signals. We were able to see a few swim below us and spotted some jumping in the distance.

We moved several times and snorkeled in areas where dolphins might be, so by the end, I was quite exhausted, but it was a lot of fun and a unique experience! I think it was the right choice to do this on the last day since it requires a lot of energy.

All the staff were very nice, and I was able to fully enjoy Hawaii and create wonderful memories.

朝6:05集合のため、眠たいまま集合する感じでした。バスの中では説明があるので、眠ることは出来ません。この説明はしっかり聞いておかなきゃです。
あと、朝食はとっておくことをオススメします!かなり体力を使うので、フラフラになりました。ホテルで酔い止めを飲んでいたので、船酔いはしませんでした。
前日が1日中雨だったので心配でしたが、当日は晴天(*^^*)野生のイルカは100%見れるわけではないと説明があり、ドキドキしながら船上!
当日は全体で9隻海に出でいたらしいのですが、なかなかイルカが見つからず(>_<)先に海ガメに行くことになりました。
海に飛び込むときは、ドキドキ!!
すぐに海ガメと遭遇出来き、3回も会えて、そのうち一匹は70歳のオスで大きくて感動(^-^)vオスは珍しいとガイドさんの説明がありました。息継ぎする姿が可愛い‼
海もお魚もとてもキレイでした。
一旦、船に上がるとイルカがが見つかったと情報があり一安心。
イルカを探しに移動して、発見!
野生のイルカは一瞬で通り過ぎてしまうので、ガイドさんの合図を聞き逃さないようにした方がいいです。
下を何頭か通り過ぎたり、遠目でジャンプしたのを見ることが出来ました(^-^)
何度か移動して、イルカのいそうなところでシュノーケリングするので最後はフラフラになりますが、とっても楽しめてなかなか出来ない体験!
かなり体力も使うので、最終日にして正解だったと思います。
スタッフの方もみなさん良い方で、ハワイを満喫出来いい思い出が作れました。

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>

Akiko is here! あきこいますよ~

Reviewed by: びっぐ・つーさん

Since it was a half-day course, I thought it might be a bit lacking, but I was fortunate to have kind lectures and even meet a sea turtle "Little Buddy," making it a very satisfying and exciting tour. The interactions with Mr. Dan during the transportation were enjoyable, and my nice partnership with Chieko-san also made me feel happy. Mahalo!!!

半日コースだったので少し物足りないかな?との思いで参加しましたが、親切なレクチャーとウミガメの”リトル・バディ”にも出会える幸運にも恵まれ、大満足・興奮のツアーでした。送迎中のダン先生とのやり取りも楽しく、ちえこさんとのナイスなパートナー関係にこちらも幸せな気分にさせて頂きました。マハロ~!!!

We are very happy to hear that you enjoyed the Hanauma Bay snorkeling tour! On that day, our little buddy, who usually stays out in the ocean, came to play inside and swam with everyone, which was so much fun. I hope you were able to download the photos without any issues. Please come back and visit us again when you're in Hawaii. Also, at Blue Hawaii Divers, we offer experience diving at Hanauma Bay, so if you're interested, we highly recommend it. Thank you!

Hanauma Bay Self-Guided Snorkel Tour & Gear Rental with Hotel Transportation

Spring Break 2016

Reviewed by: Manoa mom

My daughter and a friend decided to stay in Oahu over spring break instead of coming home. They had planned bus trips for Hanauma Bay as well as North Shore during the week. After having a horrible time with the bus schedules and waiting to get to their destinations, I decided to get them tickets for the shuttle. So glad I did! They had a really good time, hassle free of buses and hotel pick up and drop off was perfect for them. The trip to the bay made their spring break! So glad I found this site, and we will use them again when we visit her over Thanksgiving this year!

It was absolutely amazing! (^O^)
I went in the afternoon, and the sandbar was about knee-deep.
But sitting down and taking pictures actually allowed me to appreciate the beauty of the sea even more!
The ocean was sparkling, and I felt like I could stay there forever!
There weren't as many colorful fish while snorkeling as I expected, but I was able to swim with a sea turtle! ♪♪♪
I was desperately trying not to touch the sea turtle as it swam away! Haha!
It was really great to see it up close!
I was able to see several from the boat as well.
Leonard's malasadas and lunch were really delicious!
If I have the chance to go to Hawaii again, I definitely want to participate again!!!
The guide and the captain were also really nice!

とにかく最高でした(^O^)
午後の便で行きましたがサンドバーはひざ下くらいでした。
でも座って写真撮ったりするのには逆に海の綺麗さが伝わって良かったかな!
とにかく海がキラキラしててずっとここにいれる〜!って感じでした。
シュノーケリングは思ったほどカラフルな魚はいなかったですが、なんと!海ガメと泳ぐことができました♪♪♪
海ガメを触らないようにこっちが逃げるの必死でした!笑
ほんとーに間近で見られてとっても良かったです!
船の上からも何匹も見ることできました。

It was fun! 楽しかった!

Reviewed by: さやかん

I had been looking forward to swimming with dolphins for a long time! I was really anxious until I could actually meet them, but after about an hour from Waikiki and 45 minutes by boat, we finally found the dolphins!

My husband was snorkeling for the first time, so he was a bit nervous, but the staff provided thorough explanations, which made us feel at ease. However, once we spotted the dolphins, it was "Jump in!" from the boat, so I jumped in without having time to mentally prepare myself (laughs).

When I saw the pod of dolphins underwater, I was truly excited!! They weren't very close, so it didn't feel like we were swimming together, but I was really happy to see wild dolphins.

Everyone was very friendly, and we had a great time. Since we left early at 6 AM and didn't eat much for breakfast, I was a bit disappointed that I only had one cheeseburger for lunch. I would have liked a bit more volume for lunch! But the cheeseburger was delicious.

I was also really happy to swim with sea turtles. The visibility that day was great, and I was moved by how well we could see the fish and dolphins.

At the end, we all danced the hula, and it became my best memory of the trip to Hawaii!

I told my family that the dolphin tour was amazing, and I’m thinking of participating with them next time! Thank you so much!

イルカと泳げるの⁇ってずっと楽しみにしていました(=´∀`)人(´∀`=)
本当に会えるまで不安でいっぱいでしたが
ワイキキから1時間、船で45分くらい?
して、ついにイルカを見つけました(>_<)

旦那さんはシュノーケル初めてだったので
不安でしたが丁寧に説明して頂けるので安心です。
しかしイルカを見つけたら船から
『飛び込めー!』なので心の準備出来ないまま勢いで飛び込みました(笑)


海の中でイルカの群れを見たときは
本当に興奮しました!!
あまり近くでは無かったので
一緒に泳いだという感じではありませんが
野生のイルカを見れるのはとても嬉しかったです。

皆さんとても気さくで楽しく過ごせました。
朝が6時と早いので朝ごはんあまり食べずに行ったのでお昼のチーズバーガー1つだけだったのが少し残念でした(>_<)
もう少しお昼にボリュームがほしいです!
でもチーズバーガーは美味しかったです。

ウミガメとも泳げたのが凄く嬉しかったです。
その日は透明度が良かったのか
魚もイルカもよく見えて感動しました。

さいごは皆さんでフラダンス踊ったり
ハワイ旅行で1番の思い出になりました!

家族にも イルカのツアー凄く良かった!と伝え、今度家族でも参加したいなーと思ってます(*^^*)
本当にありがとうございました(>_<)

It's up to luck since it's nature. 自然相手なので運次第

Reviewed by: クミプー

It took quite a while to see dolphins, as we were on the boat for over an hour without spotting any. As a result, everyone on the boat was fast asleep. I was glad we finally got to see the dolphins, but it was very disappointing that we couldn't enjoy the marine sports or the time with the sea turtles that we were looking forward to. Also, I read that we would be able to have malasadas, but they weren't available this time. I wonder if it's a limited-time offer... Overall, it was fun, and I would like to participate again. However, I realized that whether you can enjoy it or not depends on luck since you're dealing with wild dolphins.

なかなかイルカがいなくて、イルカと出会うまで1時間以上も船に揺られていました。おかげで 船の上ではみんな爆睡。ようやくイルカは見れたので良かったですが、楽しみにしていた、マリンスポーツの時間や、海ガメの時間を取ることが出来ずとても残念でした。 それと、書き込みでは マラサダを頂けるとあったのですが、今回はありませんでした。期間限定なのかな、、、
総合的には 楽しかったのでまた参加したいと思います。ただ、楽しめるかどうかは、自然のイルカ相手なので運次第だと実感しました。

Thank you for participating this time. We sincerely apologize for not being able to spend time with the sea turtles and marine sports. Regarding the malasada, we discontinued it a few years ago due to the high possibility of customers getting seasick. We look forward to your next participation. Mahalo!

この度はご参加いただきありがとうございました。 ウミガメやマリンスポーツにお時間を取ることが出来ず、大変申し訳ありません。 マラサダにつきましては、お客様が船で酔われる可能性が高くなってしまったので数年前に廃止させていただきました。 次回のご参加を心よりお待ちしております。 Mahalo!

On the last day of my trip, I participated in this tour. The meeting time was early in the morning, and I was sleepy, but the guide kept everyone’s spirits up during the bus ride to the port. They explained the precautions very thoroughly, so I was able to enjoy the experience without any worries.

We were blessed with good weather on the day, and the boat was stable, so no one got seasick. Once we boarded the boat, we all offered a prayer to see dolphins and finally released plumeria flowers into the sea. We tried to spot dolphins three times and were able to see them twice! As soon as we spotted them, we jumped in and swam quickly to where the dolphins were. It was quite strenuous, and we swam a considerable distance, so I was exhausted. It might be challenging for small children to keep up.

I was disappointed that we spent so much time searching for dolphins that we couldn’t do other activities, but I hope to come back next time and see sea turtles. After getting out of the water, my body was cold, but they served warm tea, which was a wonderful gesture.

Since it gets quite chilly, I think it’s a good idea to bring towels, T-shirts, or something to wear over your swimsuit. In the end, we all danced the hula together, which created a lovely memory. On the way back, we were given cheeseburgers, drinks, and snacks, and the cheeseburger was really delicious!

It was a tour that brought smiles to everyone, and I definitely want to participate again!

旅行最終日にこちらのツアーに参加しました。集合時間は朝が早く眠かったですが、港までのバスの中ではガイドさんがみんなのテンションをあげようと盛り上げてくれました^ ^注意事項などもとても丁寧に説明してもらったので何の不安もなく楽しめました(*^_^*)
当日は天候にも恵まれ船の揺れも少なく船酔いしている方はいませんでした。船に乗船すると、イルカを見れるようみんなで祈りを捧げ、最後にプルメリアの花を海に流しました^ ^
イルカは三回トライしましたが、二回見ることが出来ました★見つけたらすぐに飛び込み、急いでイルカの所まで泳ぎます。かなりハードで、結構な距離を泳いだのでクタクタでした。小さいお子様はついていくのに大変かもしれませんm(_ _)m
イルカ探しに時間を使ってしまい、他のアクティビティが出来なかった事が残念でしたが次回リベンジしてウミガメなど見たいです(^-^)海から上がると体が冷えて寒かったのですが、温かいお茶が配られ心遣いがとても素晴らしかったです^ - ^
かなり冷えるのでタオルやTシャツや羽織りものなど持参した方が良いかと思います。最後にみんなでフラダンスを踊りとても良い思い出になりました^ ^帰りにチーズバーガーと飲み物とスナックが配られましたが、チーズバーガーとっても美味しかったです★
みんなか笑顔になれるツアーでした、是非また参加したいと思います(*^^*)

Wonderful memories!!! 素晴らしい思い出!!!

Reviewed by: とんきち

I participated with my 7-year-old son. We had been to Hawaii several times, but I thought we should have joined the dolphin tour earlier. On the day of the tour, the weather was perfect, and we happily boarded the boat. My son was a bit scared of the boat, but perhaps because he took motion sickness medication before leaving the hotel, he didn't get seasick and we arrived at the dolphin spot. He had no worries about snorkeling or swimming, so we jumped right into the water! The marine blue was crystal clear, even at depths of over 10 meters. Just swimming in this transparent sea felt amazing. Then, when the guide signaled, a group of dolphins immediately appeared before our eyes. Dolphins swimming in the water and leaping above the surface! It was astonishing and moving! I peered into the water multiple times to keep up with the guide's signals, and each time, I saw dolphins swimming gracefully. Just when my son and I were a bit tired, the signal to change spots came. As we moved to the next location by boat, we saw many sea turtles and small fish. It felt like we had entered a different world. Without taking a break, we continued swimming and watching the fish, and before we knew it, it was time to head back. We felt so disappointed; we wanted to enjoy it all day long. That was our wish, and I definitely want to participate again next time. It was an activity we should not miss. Thank you very much!

7歳の息子と参加しました。
何回かハワイには来てましたが、初めてイルカ中学に参加してもっと早くに参加しておけば良かったと思いました。
参加当日は、絶好の天気で気持ち良くボートに乗り込みました。息子は、ボートを少し怖がってましたが、酔い止めをホテル出発時に飲んでいたためか、船酔いすることもなくイルカスポットに到着。シュノーケルや泳ぎに関しては、全く不安がなかったので直ぐに海の中へ!10M以上の深さの中でも海底まで透き通るマリンブルー。この透き通った海を泳ぐだけでも、最高の気分。そうすると、ガイドの方から合図があると、沢山のイルカたちが直ぐに目に飛び込んできました。海の中で泳ぐイルカの集団や海面を飛び交うイルカの集団!なんなんだ!驚きと感動!ガイドさんの合図に遅れないように何回も海の中を覗くと何回もイルカたちがスイスイと泳いでいるのが目に飛び込んできました。息子も私も少し疲れたところで、スポット変更の合図。次のスポットに船で移動すると、次はウミガメや小さな魚たちが沢山目に入ってきた。違う世界に来た気分である。時間いっぱい休むことなく、泳ぎ続け魚たちを見ていると、あっという間に帰る時間になってしまいました。思いっきり残念な気分。一日中でも楽しみたかったのが、息子と私の思いでした。是非次回も参加したいし、参加すべきアクティビティでした。
本当にありがとうございました!

I experienced the sea of paradise. The scenery was wonderful. The weather was great, and the colors of the sea and sky were cobalt blue, with the green of the Coral Mountains and the white sandbar. It was truly magnificent.
The muffins for a light snack were delicious, and I had plenty of time for snorkeling, which was fun.
The only disappointment was that I didn't encounter a single sea turtle. But that's nature, so it can't be helped.

Dolphin University is the best! イルカ大学最高!

Reviewed by: はちさん

Last year, I graduated from Dolphin Middle School, and since I had such a great time, I enrolled in college this year. The staff member Emi was very cheerful and energetic, full of adrenaline from early in the morning. After listening to the safety briefing, we arrived at Waianae Boat Harbor in about an hour.

As we boarded the boat and headed north, we encountered dolphins multiple times. We could see them jumping and spinning in the distance, playing energetically, which heightened our expectations. Before long, we reached the dolphin point and jumped into the sea.

Following closely behind the staff, a spinner dolphin swam right past us! I was so surprised that I didn't have time to take a photo. The dolphins quickly disappeared, so it seemed many people missed seeing them.

We quickly moved to another point by boat, heading further north along the west coast. When we got the go-ahead to jump into the water, we encountered a large pod of dolphins! Dozens of them were swimming below and surfacing for air. We could even hear their calls.

Several pods came alternately, so it seemed everyone on the tour was able to see them this time. We even had time to take photos. The pictures included here were taken with a compact camera.

After the dolphin lesson concluded and we were about to leave the point, the dolphins came to say goodbye! They swam close to the boat and stayed with us for a while. It was incredibly moving!

Next, we headed to the turtle professor's point. As soon as we arrived, the turtle professor came to greet us. We were really lucky on this tour!

After that, we swam with many colorful tropical fish, tried stand-up paddleboarding and canoeing, and jumped into the sea. We attempted stand-up paddleboarding, but it was challenging to stand and paddle. Although it was a short time, I was very satisfied since I had wanted to try it at least once.

By this time, we were all very hungry. It was the perfect timing for lunch. We had cheeseburgers, snacks, and juice.

Finally, we danced the hula with the staff and graduated safely! We received graduation souvenirs. There were a few small kids around ten years old, but they seemed to be swimming hard. They received a special reward at the end.

On the way back, I heard voices saying, "That was great!" Whether or not you see dolphins can make a difference, but I was truly satisfied and would highly recommend this tour to everyone. Above all, the staff were bright and energetic! Always positive!

昨年イルカ中学を卒業し、とても楽しかったので、今年は大学に入学しました。
とても明るく元気なスタッフえみさん、早朝からアドレナリン全開です。一通りの注意事項を聞いて、1時間ほどでワイアナエボートハーバーに到着。
ボートに乗り込みしばらく北へ進む途中、何度もイルカに遭遇。遠くの方でジャンプしたりスピンしたりと元気に遊んでいる様子を見ることができ、期待が高まります。
そうこうしているうちにイルカポイントに到着。急いで海に飛び込みます。
スタッフさんのすぐ後ろについていると、目の前すぐ近くをハシナガイルカが通り過ぎて行きました!ビックリして写真を撮る間がありませんでした。
イルカはあっという間にどこかへ行ってしまったので、見逃した人も多かったようです。
すぐにボートで別ポイントに移動。西海岸をさらに北へ進みます。
GOサインが出て海に飛び込むと、今度はイルカの大きな群れが!!数十頭の群れが、下の方を泳いでいたり、息継ぎのために上に上がってきたり。鳴き声を聞くこともできました。
群れも幾つかが交互にやってきてくれたので、今回はツアーのみんなが見ることができたようです。写真を撮る余裕もありました。掲載の写真はコンデジで撮ったものです。
イルカ先生の授業が終わり、ポイントを離れようとした時、なんとイルカ先生がお別れのご挨拶に来てくれました。ボートのすぐ近くまで来て、しばらく一緒に泳いでくれていました。大感激!
次はカメ教授のポイントへ。着いて早々、カメ教授がご挨拶に来てくれました。今日のツアーは本当にラッキー!!
その後はたくさんの色とりどりの熱帯魚と泳いだり、スタンドアップパドルやカヌー、ジャンプして海に飛び込んだり。私たちはスタンドアップパドルに挑戦しましたが、立つことも難しく立ってから漕ぐのも大変。短い時間でしたが一度やってみたかったので大満足です。
この頃にはお腹ぺこぺこ。良いタイミングで給食の時期です。チーズバーガーとスナックとジュースをいただきました。
最後にスタッフのみなさんとフラダンスを踊って、
無事卒業!卒業記念品をいただきました。10歳くらいの小さい子も何人かいたけど、頑張って泳いでいたようです。最後に特別なご褒美をもらっていました。
帰り道「良かったね〜」って声が口々に聞こえてきました。イルカに会えるかどうかにもよりますが、本当に大満足、みんなにおすすめしたいツアーです。何よりスタッフさんが明るくて元気!いつも前向き!

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>

The best experience for three generations! 三世代で最高の体験!

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

This trip to Hawaii was a three-generation adventure. The kids (ages 6 and 7) and my parents (both over 60) experienced snorkeling for the first time. Initially, I planned to go out to the reef alone, but after hearing Chieko's encouragement, we all decided to give it a try! In the end, only my sister, my nephew, and I made it out to the reef, but Chieko's heartfelt desire to show us something special really came through (tears). The group that went out to the reef was with Dan. Dan was incredibly kind and held my nephew's hand the whole way. Fortunately, we were able to see two large turtles. The only disappointing part was that my GoPro froze halfway through, so I couldn't capture the moments (tears). I really wanted to film us swimming together!!! I'll save that for next time. Thank you, Chieko and Dan, for all your help this time. I definitely want to ask for your assistance again. Thank you very much.

今回のハワイ旅行は三世代。子供(6歳と7歳)と両親(二人とも60過ぎ)はシュノーケルが初体験。はじめは私だけが沖までいく予定でしたがチエコさんのお話を聞いて全員でトライすることに!結果、沖までいけたのは私と姉と甥っ子のみでしたが、チエコさんの「どうにか見せてあげたい!」というお気持ちがかなり伝わりました(泣)沖へ行く組はダンさんと一緒に。ダンさんもものすごく優しくて甥っ子の手をずっと引いて行ってくれました。ラッキーなことに大きな亀さんが二匹も見ることが出来ました。私のGOPROが途中でフリーズしてしまい撮影出来なかったことだけが残念です(泣)一緒に泳いだところを撮りたかった!!!それはまた次回のお楽しみにとっておきます。チエコさん、ダンさん今回はお世話になりました。また絶対にお願いしたいと思います。ありがとうございました。

The snorkeling tour with the three-generation family was so much fun! I was really happy to see everyone trying their best. Even the grandparents, who initially planned not to swim, did very well and were able to reach the white buoy in the backyard, where we saw a large school of ladyfish. Please come again when you visit Hawaii. Next time, let's all swim out together to see the cute turtles in Hanauma! I look forward to seeing you all again. Thank you! Mahalo!!

三世代ファミリーでのシュノーケリングツアー、楽しかったですね!!皆さんが頑張ってトライしてくれて、私もうれしかったです。最初は泳がないつもりだったお祖父様、お祖母様もとてもお上手で、バックヤードの白ブイまで行くことが出来て大きなレディフィッシュの群れも見れましたね。是非またハワイにお越しの際には皆さんで来てください。次回は皆さんでアウトサイドまで泳いでまたハナウマのかわいい亀さんを見に行きましょうね!!またお会いできるのを楽しみに待っています。ありがとうございました。Mahalo!!

Hanauma Bay Snorkel Tour with Expert Guide & Waikiki Transportation

Wonderful Experience for the Whole Family

Reviewed by: Scott

Do not be afraid of this activity. First, the tour directors could not have been more friendly and helpful. Second, they could not have made it any easier. They picked us up at the lobby of the hotel, drove us to the bay, got us through the required orientation film and down to the water so efficiently. They have been doing this so long that they anticipated all of our needs (even before we realized that we had the need). Then, guided us into the water and instructed everyone on how to use the shorkle and made us all feel very comfortable. Even the 8 year old twins who are normally a handful. We were slowly guided around the bay and shown fish, eels and turtles. We stopped for pictures occasionally. And, told that we could download them from Facebook later that night.
When we were done, they gave us much needed water and snacks. Much needed because this was a good work out ( for a fat old guy). We got back to the van and were taken right back to our hotel and were the. Already trying to figure out when we could do the excursion again.
So, you don't have to worry about whether or not this is worth doing. And, it couldn't be easier or more enjoyable..

I had a great time! 楽しめました!

Reviewed by: nonmimi

I participated in early January. It was a cold time with rough waves, so I was worried about seasickness and the cold, but I’m really glad I referred to the reviews. I wore a long-sleeve hoodie and took motion sickness medication the day before.

Most of the women who participated looked very uncomfortable due to seasickness. It seems essential to take motion sickness medication. I was able to see dolphins and sea turtles! I was also lucky enough to witness a whale jump, which is unique to this season, and the cruise in nature was very healing. The hamburger was delicious too! There was also a hula show by the crew, making it a very satisfying activity!

1月上旬に参加しました。寒く波も荒い時期でしたので、船酔いと寒さが心配でしたが、口コミを参考にして本当によかったです。長袖パーカーと酔い止めを前日から服用して参加しました。
参加した女性のほとんどが、船酔いでとても辛そうでした。酔い止めは必ず服用した方が良さそうです。イルカ、海亀をみることが出来ました!この時期ならではクジラのジャンプも運よく見れて、大自然の中のクルーズ癒されました。ハンバーガーも美味しかったです!クルーの方のフラショーもあり、大満足なアクティビティーでした!

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>

We were blessed with good weather... 天気にも恵まれ・・・

Reviewed by: CHARKO

The weather was perfect on the day of our trip! We had to wade from the boat to the sandbar, and since we didn't bring our swimsuits, thinking we wouldn't be swimming, we were invited with, "The weather is great with no wind! It's really wonderful, so let's definitely go to the sandbar!" They even lent us wetsuits. My mother, who is in her 70s, was also moved and said, "I'm so glad we went!"

当日は天気にも恵まれ、最高でした!
船からサンドバーまで腰につからなければならず、最初から泳ぐ想定をせずに水着を持って行かなかった私たちに、『風もない天気もいい!すっごい素敵だからぜひサンドバー行こう!」と誘っていただき、ウェットスーツを貸してくれました。
70代の母も、『行って良かった!」と感動!

Reply from activity provider

Aloha! Thank you for participating in the tour the other day. I'm really glad your mother enjoyed it!

By the way, as CHARKO mentioned in your post, when you go to the sandbar, you will need to enter the water. The boat must anchor in a certain depth of water, so you will need to get off the boat and walk in the water to reach the sandbar. The depth will depend on the tide conditions that day, but for adults, it will be around waist to chest deep, so please come in swimwear or clothes that can get wet.

Please come back to play with your mother again! Next time, I hope you will also try snorkeling. Mahalo!

アロハ!先日はツアーにご参加ありがとうございました。
お母様も楽しんで頂けて本当に良かったです!

ちなみにCHARKO様も書き込みして頂いたようにサンドバーに行かれる際は海に入って頂かなくてはなりません。
船には一定の海の深さが必要な為サンドバーの近くに停泊させ、サンドバーまでは船から降りて頂きご自身で海の中を歩いて移動となります。
深さはその日の潮の状況によりますが大人で腰から胸の辺りの深さになるためご参加の際は水着または濡れても良い服装でお越し下さいね。

またお母様と遊びにいらして下さいね!次回はぜひシュノーケルも挑戦されてみて下さいね。マハロ!

I was able to swim with many dolphins! たくさんのイルカたちと一緒に泳げました!

Reviewed by: チャッピー

I have done snorkeling and diving many times in the past, but I had never experienced swimming with wild dolphins, so I decided to join this tour. The reason I chose this tour was that I read in the reviews that the staff seemed energetic and fun. In the end, choosing this tour was definitely the right decision!

Whether or not we would see dolphins and how many there would be depended on the season and luck, but thanks to the experienced captain searching for the right spots and the staff guiding us diligently, we were able to see many dolphins. We were lucky enough to encounter a rare large pod of nearly 100 dolphins swimming slowly, allowing us to see them up close and swim alongside them, which was incredibly moving!

We boarded the tour bus very early in the morning. I was a bit anxious about finding my pickup location (Sheraton) since it was a large gathering spot for various tours, but the welcoming staff were very energetic and had loud voices, so it was fine. Inside the bus, the chairperson, Julie, began the morning briefing. She explained everything enthusiastically, leaving no time for anyone to doze off, which actually heightened my excitement.

This time, we searched for dolphin spots and traveled quite far north along the west coast, so we spent a considerable amount of time on the boat. The boat did sway quite a bit, but since I took motion sickness medication, I didn’t feel sick; however, I think taking motion sickness medication is essential. On the way to the spot, we saw a few sea turtles from the boat.

I participated in March when the seawater was quite cold, so I wore a wetsuit, which can be rented on-site for $10 (cash only). Besides the cold, there’s also a risk of jellyfish stings, so I recommend wearing one if possible. Most participants on this tour were wearing wetsuits as well. It can get chilly on the boat after snorkeling, so it’s a good idea to bring something to cover up and a towel.

When we arrived at the spot, there were so many dolphins swimming in a pod that it was immediately noticeable. Following the staff's guidance, we swam towards the moving pod and saw many dolphins underwater! The water was clear, and the weather was good, so we could see them clearly, which was fantastic. We were also lucky to see them jumping and spinning multiple times. Since there was a considerable number of dolphins, I believe everyone got to see them, but to increase your chances of seeing them properly, it's best to stay close to the staff and follow their instructions. After a while, we briefly returned to the boat to change locations, but the previous pod came back to the same spot, so we jumped back into the water right away.

Overall, I think we were able to swim with the dolphins for a long time. However, because of that, the time for kayaking, paddleboarding, and snorkeling was shortened, and we spent only about 15-30 minutes at the new spot, which was a bit disappointing. We didn’t see any sea turtles while snorkeling, and there weren’t many fish either. Still, being able to enjoy such a large number of dolphins for a sufficient amount of time was more than enough to satisfy me.

On the return boat ride, we were served cheeseburgers and drinks, and we all danced the hula, making it enjoyable until the end. I was very happy to receive a group photo taken on the boat later via email.

Overall, I thought the staff's response was very smooth, and the tour content was well-organized without any wasted time. Their desire for everyone to see and enjoy the dolphins was evident.

It was an emotional experience and became the highlight of my trip. Thank you very much! If I go to Hawaii again, I would love to participate again!

シュノーケリングやダイビングは過去に何度もやったことがありましたが、野生のイルカと一緒に泳ぐというのは今まで体験したことがなかったのでこのツアーに参加しました。
こちらのツアーを選んだ理由は、体験談の口コミでスタッフの方が元気で楽しそうなところがいいなと思ったからです。
結果として、こちらのツアーを選んで大正解でした!

イルカに会えるかどうか、どのくらいの数がいるかどうかなどは、季節や運などに左右されてしまいますが、ベテラン船長がポイントを探してスタッフの方が一生懸命誘導してくれたので、たくさんのイルカを見ることができました。
運よくめったにない100匹近い大群がゆっくり泳いでいるところに出会えたので、一緒に泳いだと言えるほど近くでゆっくりイルカを見ることができとても感動しました!!

朝とても早い時間にツアーバスに乗り込みます。私がピックアップしてもらった場所(シェラトン)は、とても大きいツアー集合場所でいろいろなツアーの方がたくさんいたので、見つけられるか少し不安になりましたが、迎えのスタッフの方がとても元気で声が大きかったので(笑)大丈夫でした。
バスの中では委員長ジュリーさんの朝礼が始まります。元気いっぱいにいろいろ説明をしてくれて眠る隙は全くありませんでした(笑)逆に期待に気持ちが高まりました。

今回はイルカのポイントを探して、西海岸のかなり北の方まで行ったのでボートの乗っている時間が結構長かったです。ボートはやはり結構揺れるので、私は酔い止めを飲んでいたせいか酔いませんでしたが、酔い止めは必須だと思います。
ポイントに向かうまでの間に、ボートから何匹かウミガメを見ました。

私が参加したのは3月で海水が結構冷たかったので、ウェットスーツを着用しました。その場で$10(現金のみ)で借りることができます。寒さもそうですが、クラゲなどに刺されたりすることもあるそうなのでできたら着用することをおすすめします。今回のツアーでもほとんどの方が着ていました。
シュノーケル後など、船上では寒いこともあるので、羽織れるものとタオルは持って行った方がいいです。

ポイントに着くと、すぐに分かるくらいたくさんの数のイルカが群れになって泳いでいました。スタッフの方の誘導でイルカの群れが動く方に泳いで行き、海の中を見るとたくさんのイルカが見れました!水の透明度も高く天気もよかったためかはっきりと見えてとてもよかったです。しかもスピンしながらジャンプする姿も何度も見れてとてもラッキーでした。
今回はかなりの数のイルカの群れだったので参加者全員見れたと思いますが、ちゃんと見るチャンスを増やすにはなるべくスタッフの方の近くにいてその指示に従って行動するのがいいと思います。
その後一旦ボートに上がってポイントを変えようとしましたが、先程の群れがまた同じ場所に戻ってきたため、またすぐに海に飛び込びました。

トータルするとかなり長い時間、イルカを見ながら泳ぐことができたと思います。ただそのため、その後のカヤック、パドルボード、シュノーケリングの時間が短くなってしまいボートであまり移動せずその場で15~30分程度だったのが、少し残念でした。シュノーケルではウミガメは見れずお魚もあまりいませんでした。
ただ、あれだけの数のイルカをゆっくり十分な時間堪能できたので、それだけで十分満足しました。

帰りの船では、チーズバーガーや飲み物のサービス、みんなでフラを踊り、最後まで楽しませて頂きました。最後にみんなで船上で撮った集合写真を後でメールで送っていただくことができたので、とてもうれしかったです。

全体的にスタッフの方々の対応がとてもスムーズで、無駄のない良いツアー内容だったと思います。全員にイルカを見てもらおう、楽しんでもらおうという気持ちが伝わってきました。

感動的な体験ができて、旅行中の一番の思い出になりました。
本当にありがとうございました!またハワイに行くことがあれば参加したいです!!

カイルアビーチ送迎シャトルサービス 嬉しい5時間滞在!ビーチグッズなど各種レンタル付き<日本語スタッフ/ランチ付>

Easily in Kailua! カイルアに気軽に!

Reviewed by: AZアロハ!

Last year, I used "The Bus" to get to Kailua on my own. Initially, I had planned to include a visit to Lanikai Beach, but things started to go awry when I had to wait for a "bicycle rental." I ended up getting lost and wasted quite a bit of time. As a result, I had to give up on Lanikai Beach. My town exploration was also unsatisfactory, so I returned to Waikiki... Then the tragedy continued, as I was stuck for over an hour on the way back to Waikiki due to unclear bus operations. I returned to Ala Moana Shopping Center completely exhausted.

Reflecting on that experience, I signed up for this tour. Without worrying about transportation, I was able to rent a bicycle for just $10, which allowed easy access to Kailua Beach and, of course, Lanikai Beach. I was able to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the blue sky and clear ocean.

Not only the beach but also the lunch pizza was very delicious, and there were proper changing facilities, so I could enjoy exploring the town with peace of mind. However, after the initial briefing from the staff upon arrival, the tour had a style where you are “free” in a good way, but “left to your own devices” in a bad way. If you don’t check the places you want to visit in advance, time can slip away quickly.

I highly recommend this tour for those who find using "The Bus" or renting a car cumbersome like I do. If you participate, renting a bicycle and heading from Lanikai Beach to town is the best option! There are many unique shopping options in town that you won't find in Waikiki or Kahala, which I also recommend!

One disappointing aspect was that the pickup location for the voucher issued upon completing the tour reservation was incorrect. I had arrived early at a location across the street from my hotel, but it turned out that the bus was picking up at my hotel, which caused delays for other participants. Of course, the driver and staff from the tour company apologized, but since I provided an emergency contact at the time of booking, I would have appreciated a prior notification regarding this issue.

昨年、自力で「The Bus」を利用して行ったカイルア。当初は、ラニカイビーチまで含めた観光を予定していましたが、「自転車レンタル」の空き待ちあたりから、雲行きが怪しくなり、道に迷ったりして相当な時間をロス。結果、ラニカイビーチは断念。タウン散策も消化不良にワイキキに戻ることに・・・。そして悲劇(?!)は続き、ワイキキまでの復路で、バスの運行状況が良くわからず、カイルアで1時間以上も足止め。へとへとになってアラモアナSCまで戻ってくるというものでした。

という前回を反省し、申し込みをした今ツアー。
往復の“足”の心配もなく、1人10ドルで自転車もレンタルできたため、カイルアビーチは勿論、ラニカイビーチにも簡単にアクセスができ、青い空と透明な海・・・と素晴らしい景色を満喫することできました。

ビーチだけでなく、ランチもピザがとても美味しく、着替えの場所もちゃんと確保されているので、安心してタウン散策も楽しむことができました。ただ、現地到着後、スタッフからの一通りの説明の後は、いい意味で“自由に”そして、悪い意味で“放っておかれる”スタイルのツアーですので、事前に行きたい所をチェックしてツアーに臨まないと、あっという間に時間が過ぎてしまう感じでした。

私のように「The Bus」の利用やレンタカーが面倒と考える方に、ぜひお勧めしたいツアーです。そして参加されるなら、自転車をレンタルして、ラニカイビーチからタウンまで繰り出すのがベスト!タウンでの買い物もワイキキやカハラでは無いような物も沢山ありお勧めです!

ただ一つ残念だったのは、ツアー予約完了時に発行されたバウチャーのピックアップ場所が、間違えていたこと。宿泊ホテルの通りをはさんだ場所に早めにスタンバイしていたのに、結局、宿泊ホテルにバスは迎えに来ていたようで、他の参加者の方々をお待たせする形になってしまいました。勿論、運転手やツアー催行会社のスタッフの方からの謝罪はありましたが、予約時には緊急連絡先を記載しておりますので、その旨事前にご連絡をいただければと思いました。

The sea was beautiful. 海は綺麗でした

Reviewed by: マミー

This time, I participated in a honeymoon trip. The pickup was supposed to be in front of the Sheraton Princess Kaiulani, but I got anxious when the car didn't arrive even after the meeting time had passed. After that, I spotted someone calling out "Kailua," and when I said my name, it turned out to be the tour guide. Following the guide, I was relieved to find the bus parked near the Hyatt Regency Hotel.

After getting on the bus, we arrived at the Kailua Beach Center after about an hour. Once we got off the bus, we were first guided in English, and I was confused about what was happening. Following the guide, I ended up in a room where we had to sign a consent form, but everyone around me was a foreigner, and I felt very anxious because I couldn't understand anything. After I mentioned that I was Japanese, I was taken to a different room where there were other Japanese people, and it seemed like I had gone to the wrong room. The Japanese people were on the same bus and had been guided ahead of me, so I would have appreciated it if they had confirmed everything until the end.

After the explanation, I rented a bicycle and went for a stroll around the town of Kailua. Since I hadn't had breakfast yet, I planned to eat pancakes at Boots & Kimo's, but it turned out to be closed! I should have checked before going. I gave up on the pancakes and had an acai bowl in the area instead. The center of Kailua is full of shops like gift stores and supermarkets, making it perfect for wandering around. I walked around for about two hours, and then for lunch, I chose pizza since the tour included meal vouchers. The pizza was hearty, and I was satisfied!

After that, we went to Kailua and Lanikai Beach, where we went snorkeling and relaxed. The ocean is beautiful! Compared to Waikiki Beach, there were fewer people, which was nice.

This was a one-day tour, but I was glad that I could stroll around the town of Kailua by bicycle and swim at the beautiful beach, making efficient use of my time.

今回は新婚旅行で参加しました。送迎付きで集合場所はシュラトンプリンセスカイウラニ前でしたが、集合時間過ぎても車は来なく焦りました。その後、カイルアと呼びながらこちらに来る方を見つけ、名前を言うと、ツアーのガイドさんでした。ガイドさんについていくとバスは、ハイアット・リージェンシーホテルのほうに停まっており、安心しました。
そしてバスに乗り1時間ぐらいして、カイルアのビーチセンターに着きました。バスを降りたら、まず英語で案内され、何がなんだか分からずガイドさんについていくと、同意書を書く部屋でも周りは外国人だけで英語で案内され、さっぱり分からず大変不安に思いました。その後、日本人だということを伝えると、別な部屋に案内され、そこには日本人の方もいて、部屋を間違いたみたいでした。日本人の方もバスも一緒に乗っていて、先に案内されていた感じみたいだったので、最後まで確認をしていただきかったです。
説明後、自転車を借りて、カイルアの街に散歩しに行きました。朝食はまだだったので、ブーツ&キモズのパンケーキを食べようと思い、行ったら定休日!行く前に確認しておけば良かったです。パンケーキは諦めて、その周辺でアサイーボウルを食べました。カイルアの中心地は、雑貨屋やスーパーなど、お店がいっぱいあるので、ぶらぶらするには最適でした。2時間ぐらい歩きまわり、その後、昼食で、ツアーに食事券がついていたのでピザを選びました。ピザはボリュームがあって、満足しました!
その後は、カイルア、ラニカイビーチにいき、シュノーケリングをして、ゆっくり過ごしました。とにかく海は綺麗です!ワイキキビーチと比べると人も少ないので、良かったです。
今回は1日コースでしたが、カイルアの街に自転車で散歩して、綺麗なビーチでも泳ぐことができ、時間を効率よく使うことができるツアーで良かったです。

All-Inclusive Kailua Beach Day Experience - Lunch, Snorkel, Bike & Gear Rental

one of the best experience I had on my trip

Reviewed by: Tony Ho

Before I got to Oahu i was wondering what to do for my short trip. It was my fist trip to Hawaii and i had no idea where to start. But booking a snorkel session with them was a good choice. They picked us up at Waikiki, and the pick up location just happened to be across the street of our hotel. Made a call to our hotel to remind us the day before our session. Even though I never done snorkel before it was easy to learn. As long as you can swim you can snorkel, just remember to keep your breathing tube above water. Kailua beach had clear water and lots of fish, and it's one of the reason I got hooked to snorkeling. We were going to do it again but our trip was too short, but if we had time we would.

This is a honest review from someone who visited to those that are still hesitating. BOOK IT. Your won't regret.

PS: remember to put on sunscreen, water base resist would be best.
