On the third day in Hawaii, I participated in a tour. I joined hoping to see dolphins, but unfortunately, I couldn't see any today... It seems quite difficult to encounter wild dolphins. I think it's better to be prepared for that when you sign up. However, I was able to see a sea turtle while snorkeling, which was great. We snorkeled in fairly deep water. I'm not very good at swimming, so I was a bit scared at first, but it was fine since we were in a group. I think it's reassuring that the staff keeps a close watch on us. There was also a photographer who took pictures both on the boat and in the water. However, it costs about $60 to purchase the USB. The boat to the dolphin viewing area rocks quite a bit, so if you're prone to seasickness, it's best to take some motion sickness medication beforehand. Lastly, you can enjoy a cheeseburger made by the captain, which was delicious. They also perform hula dancing. I was really disappointed not to see dolphins, but I had fun seeing the sea turtles and fish.
ハワイ3日目にツアーに参加しました。
イルカを見たくて参加したのですが、今日は運悪く見ることができませんでした…
自然のイルカに会うことは中々難しいみたいです…
お申し込みの際はそれを覚悟の上で申し込みされた方がいいと思います。
でも、シュノーケルの時にウミガメが見れたのでよかったです。
結構、深いところでシュノーケルをしました。
あまり泳ぎが得意ではないので最初は少し怖かったですが、団体で行動するので大丈夫でした。
スタッフの方もしっかり見ていてくれるので安心だと思います。
カメラマンの方もいらっしゃるので船の上や海の中も撮影してくれます。
でも、USBを購入するのに$60ぐらいかかります。
イルカを見る場所に行くまでのボートがかなり揺れますので、酔いやすい方は事前に酔い止めを飲んでおいた方がいいです。
最後に、キャプテンが作るチーズバーガーが食べれます。
おいしかったです。
フラダンスを踊ってくれたりもします。
イルカが見れなくて本当に残念でしたが、ウミガメや魚が見られて楽しかったです。

On this tour, we went in search of the common dolphin. It seems that encountering bottlenose dolphins, which appear in aquarium shows, is quite difficult. However, it turned out to be a lucky day for us, as we were able to see not only common dolphins but also bottlenose dolphins.
このツアーではハシナガイルカを探しに行きます。水族館のショーに登場するバンドウイルカはなかなか遭遇することが難しいとのことでした。私たちが行った日は当たりだったようでハシナガイルカだけでなく、バンドウイルカにも会うことがでいました。

I participated on September 26th. The weather was very nice.
It was an early morning, but the guide was very energetic, so it's better to prepare yourself for not being able to sleep on the bus (I slept like a log on the way back).
We were able to see a lot of dolphins, including baby dolphins, which was incredibly moving. It was my first time seeing them up close. At first, I wasn't used to snorkeling and swimming in the ocean, and I could barely keep up with the guide, but I gradually got the hang of it.
The guide would call out things like "Look down!" so I think it would be easy to spot the dolphins when they appear.
After seeing the dolphins, we swam in another location to see turtles. That place had crystal-clear water and many tropical fish, making it very beautiful.
I was told not to touch the turtles, but since they swam towards me, I was desperately trying to avoid them. I was moved to see a turtle taking a breath at the surface right in front of me.
While moving by boat, I felt lucky to encounter a pod of dolphins.
Regarding what to bring when participating, I think it's best to take only the essentials. Since water splashes into the boat, it's a good idea to keep your belongings in a waterproof bag.
Also, I recommend taking motion sickness medication (a few people felt unwell on the way back).
Of course, meeting the dolphins was amazing, but I was really glad I participated because I got to snorkel in such beautiful waters.
9 月 26 日に参加してきました。天候もとてもよかったです。
朝早かったですが、ガイドの人がとても元気いっぱいで、行きのバスの中で寝ることはできないと考えておいたほうが良いです(帰りは爆睡でした)。
イルカはたくさん見ることができました。赤ちゃんイルカもいてすごく感動しました。あんなに近くで見たのは初めてでした。最初はシュノーケルと海で泳ぐことになれておらず、ガイドの人についていくのが精いっぱいでしたが、段々と慣れてきました。
ガイドの方が「下みて~」などの声かけをしてくれるので、イルカが出現したら見ることは簡単だと思います。
イルカを見た後に、亀を見るために別の場所で泳ぎました。その場所は水も透き通っていて、熱帯魚もたくさんいてとてもきれいでした。
亀には触れないようにと言われましたが、亀が自分の方に泳いでくるので、よけるので必死でした。海面で息継ぎをする亀を、目の前でみられて感動しました。
ボートで移動中にも、イルカの群れに遭遇できて得をした気分でした。
参加するときの荷物についてですが、必要最低限のものを持って行ったほうがいいと思います。船の中に水しぶきが入ってくるので、防水の袋に入れておいたほうがいいです。
あと、酔い止めは飲んでおいた方が良いと思います(帰りの船で数名気分が悪くなっていたので)。
イルカに会えるのももちろんですが、きれいな海でシュノーケルができたので、参加して本当に良かったと思いました。
Thank you for participating. We're glad you enjoyed it. We look forward to your next participation!
ご参加頂きましてありがとうございました。お楽しみ頂けて何よりです。またのご参加をお待ちしております!

I participated in a tour of the prestigious Dolphin University with a friend! I was excited because we were supposed to swim with wild dolphins and turtles!
In the morning, I was a bit anxious because the meeting time was early! But I was relieved that we arrived on time! However, since there were explanations on the bus, I stayed awake and listened seriously to the information!
Although I was feeling a bit dazed on the way, everyone on the boat was cheerful!! The staff were really energetic!!
We were able to meet the dolphins in less than five minutes!! They were so close that I felt like I could reach out and touch them, which was very moving!
At the end, they taught us how to do the hula on the boat, and it was so much fun d(^_^o) It was a very friendly tour with everyone! Just be careful not to play too much, as you'll need to conserve your energy to enjoy it fully! ☻
友達と2人で名門イルカ大学のツアーに参加させてもらいました!
野生のイルカとカメと泳げると言う事だったので楽しみでした!
朝、集合時間が早かったので不安でした!
でも時間通りに行けたので一安心!
ただ行きのバスで説明事項などあるので
向かうバスは寝ずに話を真剣に聞きました!
意識朦朧と向かったのですが、
船の上はみんな和気あいあいでした!!
スタッフさんたちがまず元気!!
イルカさん達には5分もかからず会う事が出来ました!!
手が届いちゃうんじゃないかってとこまで近くにいてとても感動しました!
最後の船上でフラを教えてくれるのですが、とても楽しかったですd(^_^o)
みんなで和気あいあいしたツアーでした!
ただ遊びすぎて体力は温存して挑まないと
辛いと思います!☻

It wasn't nearby, but I was able to see dolphins. There are also plenty of hula and water activities, so I think it's great for when you want to enjoy a variety of things. But what about when you're specifically aiming to see just the dolphins???
近くではありませんでしたがイルカさん見れました

The weather was cloudy and the water level was up to my waist, which was a bit different from the sandbar I saw in the pictures, but the staff were fun and kind, making it an enjoyable experience.
I was moved to see sea turtles and beautiful fish up close while snorkeling.
Next time, I want to participate again on a sunny day.
天気は曇っていて水位も腰まであり写真で見ていたサンドバーとは少し違いましたが、スタッフの皆さんが面白く親切で楽しかったです。
シュノーケリングで泳いだ海はウミガメやキレイなお魚をすぐそばで見れて感動しました。
今度はお天気のいい日にまた参加したいです。

I participated on September 25th!
We were blessed with good weather and encountered a large pod of dolphins multiple times.
The waves weren't too high, making it relatively easy to swim.
The experience felt like being thrown into the ocean and then swimming to chase the dolphins! So, if you're not a strong swimmer, it might be best to stick closely to the instructor (there are several in the water as well).
Even for someone like me who can swim, I felt it might be physically challenging at times.
The boat rocked quite a bit, and water splashed, so it's better to bring only things that can get wet. Don't forget motion sickness medication.
I was worried about getting seasick, but the pleasant breeze and beautiful scenery made for a comfortable boat trip.
The instructors were very lively, and the secret catchphrase (Shitamite Shitamite! Koko Shitamite~!) and dance were very memorable.
It was a tour that both adults and children could enjoy from start to finish!
It was a moment to experience the beautiful ocean that is characteristic of Hawaii.
I definitely recommend bringing a waterproof camera!
9月25日参加させていただきました!
天気にも恵まれイルカの大群に何度も出会えました。
波はそんなに高くなく、比較的泳ぎやすかったと思います。
海の中へ放り出されてイルカみつけたらそこへ泳いで追いかける!という感じなので、泳ぎが得意でない方インストラクターの方にピッタリついていた方がいいかも。
(海の中でも何名かいらっしゃいます)
泳げる私でさえ体力的に途中厳しいかも…と感じました。
船が大分揺れて水がはねるので、濡れても良い物だけをお持ちする方がいいですよ。酔い止めもお忘れなく。
船酔いが心配だった私ですが、気持ちの良い風と素敵な景色で快適な船旅でした。
インストラクターの方々は大変ノリの良い方たちで、秘密の合言葉(シタミテシタミテ!ココシタミテ〜!)やダンスはとても印象的です。
最初から最後まで大人も子供も楽しめるツアーでした!
海が綺麗なハワイらしい経験が出来たひとときです。
ぜひ防水カメラをお持ちになることをオススメします!

This was my second time snorkeling, and even though I'm not good at swimming, I was able to enjoy the tour thanks to Dan and Chieko, who paid careful attention to everyone. They also lent us rescue vests, which made it easy to float while swimming, so I highly recommend this tour for those who aren't very confident in their swimming skills. Additionally, I was thrilled to encounter a sea turtle. I think it would have been difficult to see one on my own. Dan also took photos during the tour with a high-performance camera, and he uploaded them on the same day after the tour, allowing us to download them for free. So, I recommend this tour even for those who don't have an underwater camera.
シュノーケルは2回目、水泳は苦手、という私でも、DanさんChiekoさんが皆に丁寧に目を配ってくださったこともあり、ツアーを楽しむことができました。
レスキューベストも貸してくださり楽に浮いた状態で泳げるので、水泳があまり得意でない方にはぜひこのツアーをお勧めしたいです。
また、ウミガメに遭うこともでき感激でした。
自力ではウミガメに遭うことは難しかったと思います。
また、Danさんが高性能のカメラでツアー中写真を撮ってくださっており、ツアー終了後その日のうちに写真をアップしてくれ、無料でダウンロードすることができます。
なので、水中カメラがない人にもお勧めです。
Thank you for participating in the tour. It seems like you had a great time, and both Dan and I are very happy about that. I'm glad you were able to see the sea turtles! The turtles at Hanauma Bay are very cute and will stay close to us as long as we don't touch them. I'm also pleased to hear that you were able to download the photos successfully. We look forward to seeing you again when you come back to Hawaii. Thank you. Mahalo!
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。とても楽しんでいただけたようで、私もDanも喜んでおります。ウミガメを見ることができて良かったですね!!ハナウマ湾のウミガメ達は私達が触ったりなど何もしなければ、ずーっとそばにいてくれて、とてもかわいいです。写真も無事ダウンロードしていただけたようでよかったです。ぜひまたハワイにお越しの際にはお会いできますことを楽しみにしています。ありがとうございました。Mahalo!

Very disappointing. We had to decide as soon as we got off the bus what time we wanted to be picked up - 10 AM or 12 noon. Had we known how long it would take us to actually get into the water, we would have chosen noon! We were picked up at 7 AM, got to the Bay about 7:45, had to stand in line to get tickets, wait our turn to see a required film (very good actually), and then walk about 10 minutes down to the Bay, and then stand in another line to get a locker for our bags. We did not get into the water until almost 8:45, more than an hour after we had been picked up. THEN, we find our that the snorkel/mask ensemble was so inflexible that we could not get it to work properly! The mouthpiece was too rigid, would not form a tight seal and kept pulling to one side, and my husband's snorkel actually kept coming unhooked from the mask! Had we known this, we would have bought our own equipment at the ABC store for $10 and actually been able to snorkel! As it was, we spent until 9:30 trying to get the equipment to fit, and then had to head back to the bus for the 10 AM pick-up. Had the connection between the mouthpiece and the snorkel tube been accordion-like and flexible, it would have been a lot better. If you plan to go on this trip, bring your own equipment and be prepared to not get into the water right away. The Bay is beautiful and the water was wonderful, but our experience with the inflexible pick up time and equipment was not wonderful!

This was my second time participating. I made a reservation because I wanted to see dolphins again, just like when I went on my honeymoon. He was scared of the ocean and didn't want to go, but he was excited to see wild dolphins up close. In the end, he was happily chatting with the staff.
On that day, 8 out of 12 groups were honeymooners. The boat didn't rock much, so I recommend this activity.
私は2回目の参加でした。自分の新婚旅行で行った時にももう一度イルカに会いたくて予約しました。彼は海が怖いので嫌がっていましたが、野生のイルカをこんなに近くで見られて興奮していました。最後にはスタッフの方と楽しく話していました。

The transparency of the water is different compared to other beaches. I didn't get to see any turtles, but they seem to be around often. The guide was great and took a lot of photos for us. It's a good plan since you can return to the hotel by lunchtime.
ほかのビーチにくらべると透明度が違います
カメさんには会えませんでしたが、よくいるみたいですよ

This time, I went to Hawaii with my husband for our honeymoon. I'm not a morning person, but I was excited about the possibility of swimming with dolphins, so I made a reservation! On the morning of the tour, I was very sleepy, but our energetic guide shared stories about dolphins, Hawaii, and even the home of Ko Nishiki, and before I knew it, we arrived at the port. First, we all sang a song while making wishes with plumeria flowers, and then we set off! The first destination was the sea where the dolphins are! I was a bit anxious since there are days when you can't see them, but luckily, we quickly encountered many dolphins! According to our guide, it's quite rare to see a pod of about 50 dolphins, and I was truly moved to swim so close to so many dolphins! We also greeted them with a proper Hawaiian "Aloha"! After that, we went snorkeling with sea turtles, but I felt a bit cold and could only see them from the boat. However, the real sea turtles were impressive and a little intimidating. After that, we enjoyed activities like kayaking and paddleboarding! Finally, we all danced a simple hula together and said goodbye to the crew with smiles. It was a tour filled with laughter and wonderful people. I heard there are various other activities besides the dolphin experience, so I want to try those next time! Thank you for such a wonderful memory!
今回、初めてハネムーンで旦那さんとハワイに行きました。朝はとても弱いですが、イルカと泳げるかもしれない!ということでワクワクして予約しました^ ^当日の朝はとても眠たかったですが、すごく元気なガイドさんがイルカの話やハワイの話、コニシキさんのお家なども教えてくれてあっという間に港に到着。まずはプルメリアの花に願いを込めて全員で歌を歌い、出発!!最初に向かったのはイルカ先生のいる海!見れない日もあるということで内心不安でしたが、運がよく、すぐにたくさんのイルカ達に出会う事ができました!ガイドさん曰く、50頭ほどのイルカの群れに会えるのはごく稀なことだそうで、本当に間近でたくさんのイルカと泳げて感動しました!ちゃんとハワイの挨拶、アロハもしました!その後はウミガメシュノーケルでしたが、私は少し寒くて船の上でしか見れませんでした。でも実物のウミガメは迫力満点で、少し怖いくらいでした。その後はカヤックやパドルなどのアクティビィティを楽しみました!最後はみんなで簡単なフラダンスを踊って、船の方とは笑顔でお別れ。本当にいい人達ばかりで終始笑いが絶えないツアーでした。イルカ大学以外にも色々あるみたいなので次はそちらにも挑戦したいです!本当に素敵な思い出をありがとうございました!!

My first time in Hawaii, my first time snorkeling, my first time seeing wild dolphins—everything was a first, and I participated with a mix of excitement and anxiety. A bus came to pick us up right in front of the hotel, and it was about a one-hour ride to the ocean. During that time, our energetic guide shared many fun and interesting stories about Hawaii and the ecology of dolphins. Thanks to her, my sleepy body was fully awakened, and I was getting excited about meeting the dolphins!
Before I knew it, we arrived at the ocean. We quickly boarded the boat, got ready to jump into the water, and set off! Then, we were told that there were dolphins nearby, and we all jumped into the sea! With the signal to "look down!!!", I desperately looked below, and there they were!!! I could see the dolphins swimming beneath us!!! It was breathtaking!
Soon after, more dolphins appeared! We all jumped in again, and with the signal to dive, we saw even more dolphins swimming! I even spotted some smaller dolphins. I learned that baby dolphins can be seen during this season, and they were so small and cute, which moved me once again! Just as I wanted to see more dolphins, it was almost time to leave. As we were about to depart, a large group of dolphins swam right next to our boat! It felt like they had come back to say goodbye to us!!! Everyone was so excited! The guide was also amazed and said she had goosebumps. I was so moved that I almost cried.
Still wanting to meet more dolphins, we all said "Mahalo! Aloha!" to the dolphins and moved on to the next spot to meet the turtle professor. There, we were greeted by stunning scenery. Among the many beautiful fish swimming around, there he was!!! The turtle professor!!!! Swimming gracefully at his own pace, he truly embodied the essence of a professor!!! It was so cute to see him come up for air. Then, I noticed that four turtle professors had gathered together. In the transparent blue sea, the beautiful fish and the swimming turtle professors created such a stunning sight that I found myself lost in the beauty of it all, without a single thought in my mind. It was truly a magnificent view.
The time spent with the dolphins and the turtle professor was so enjoyable that it flew by, but I was really glad to have participated. I silently promised the dolphins and the turtle professor that I would come back to see them again. It became an unforgettable memory.
初めてのハワイ、初めてのシュノーケリング、初めての野生のイルカ、すべてが初めてで、最初はドキドキと不安いっぱいで参加しました。ホテルの前までバスが迎えに来てくれて、海まで約1時間の乗車でした。その間、元気いっぱいのガイドのお姉さんが、ハワイの話や、イルカの生態についてなど、楽しくて興味のある話をたくさん聞かせてくれました。そのおかげで、早朝でちょっと眠かった体が、すっかり目覚めて、これからイルカに会えるんだー!っとテンションが上がってきました。お話に夢中になってると、あっという間に海に到着。さっそく船に乗り込み、海へ飛び込む準備を済ませ、船は出発しました!
すると、すぐに!!イルカ先生がいるとのことで、みんなで海へ飛び込みました!「下見てー!!!」の合図で、必死に下を見ていると、、、来たー!!!イルカ先生達が泳いでいる姿が下の方に見えました!!!透き通ったブルーの中で、イルカ達が泳いでいきました!!!感動でした!
そのあともすぐにイルカ先生登場!!みんなで飛び込み、下見てー!!の合図で潜ると、またまたイルカ達が泳いでいる姿が見えました!!!少し小さいイルカも見えました。この時期は赤ちゃんイルカも見られるそうなので、小さくて可愛いなと、またまた感動しました!!!もっともっとイルカ先生に会いたいと思っていると、そろそろイルカ先生の時間は終了。海を出発しようとしていた時、なんと、イルカ先生の大群が、私達の船のすぐ横を通過していきました!まるで私達にお別れの挨拶をしに戻って来てくれたかのようでした!!!みんなで大興奮!!ガイドのお姉さんも、鳥肌が立ったと驚いていました。わたしも感動して涙が出そうになりました。まだまだイルカ先生と出会いたい気持ちを残したまま、イルカ先生達にみんなで「マハロー!アロハー!」とお別れをし、次は、カメ大教授へ会いに次のスポットへ移動。そこでも、素晴らしい景色が私達を待っていました。綺麗な魚達がたくさん泳いでいる中に、いました!!!カメ大教授!!!!優雅にマイペースに泳いでいる姿は、貫禄があり、まさに大教授でした!!!水面で息継ぎをする姿がとても可愛かったです。そして気づくと、なんと、カメ大教授が4匹集まって来ていました。透き通ったブルーの海に、綺麗な魚達と、カメ大教授の泳ぐ姿、とても美しくて、何も考えずに、その海の景色だけをずっとずっと見ていました。本当に素晴らしい景色でした。
楽しすぎて、あっという間のイルカ先生とカメ大教授の授業でしたが、本当に参加して良かったです。また会いに来るねと心の中でイルカ先生とカメ大教授に誓いました。一生忘れられない思い出になりました。

We went to Hawaii again as a couple during Silver Week. This time, I wanted to include snorkeling at Hanauma Bay, so I booked this tour. To be honest, I initially applied for the tour "Hanauma Bay with a Certified Veteran Guide," which had many reviews and experiences, but it was not available, so I chose this tour instead. Unfortunately, it rained from the morning. During snorkeling, there was heavy rain and waves, and the sand was stirred up, making it difficult to see the fish clearly. Moreover, the approximately one hour of snorkeling was cold, and I was shivering after getting back on land.
However, I can't go against nature, so I hope to try again on a sunny day next time. I have snorkeled at several places in Honolulu, but when it comes to seeing fish, it can't compare to Guam, Saipan, or Southeast Asia's Cebu and Phuket.
Nonetheless, I think the tour was very good because the guide explained everything earnestly and assisted us well. Another highlight was that we unexpectedly got to see a honu (sea turtle).
シルバーウィークに夫婦でまたハワイに行ってきました。今回は念願のハナウマ湾のシュノーケリングを入れたかったのでこのツアーを予約しました。正直に言いまして、最初は評価も体験談も多い、「公認ベテランガイドといくハナウマ湾」のツアーを申し込みましたがリクエストNGでしたので、このツアーにしました。当時は、あいにく朝から雨。シュノーケリングの時も大雨で波もあり、砂が舞い上がっており、きれいに魚は見えませんでした。しかも約1時間のシュノーケリングは寒く、陸に上がった後は寒さで震えていました。
でも自然には逆らえないので、今度は晴れた時に再チャレンジできたらと思います。
ホノルルでは何か所かでシュノーケリングしましたが、やはり魚を見るならば、グァム、サイパンや東南アジアのセブ島やプーケットなどには かないませんね。
でもガイドさんが一生懸命説明してアシストしてくださり、ツアーとしてはとてもよかったと思います。
また期待していなかったホヌと会えたのがよかったポイントです。
Thank you for joining our tour. We apologize for the tour taking place in the rain. Recently, Hawaii has had a lot of rain... But we are glad we could show you the turtles!! We look forward to seeing you again when you visit Hawaii. Thank you. Mahalo!

The pickup was on time, so there was no need to worry. We encountered a pod of dolphins and were able to swim with them for a long time. I think the sea was relatively calm, but there were many people who got seasick. Even if you think you'll be fine, motion sickness medication might be essential. Also, your belongings will definitely get wet. Therefore, your change of clothes and towels will also get wet. I recommend either using a waterproof bag or carrying a large vinyl bag that can hold your bag.
迎えは時間通りで、不安になることはありませんでした。
イルカの群れに遭い、ずっといっしょに泳ぐことができました。
比較的、穏やかな海だったと思うのですが、酔っている方がたくさんいました。
大丈夫だと思っても酔い止め薬は必須かもしれません。
それから、荷物は必ず濡れます。

We participated as a family of four (with a 2nd-year middle schooler and a 5th grader). The hotel pick-up was smooth, and we felt reassured that the American husband spoke Japanese without any issues. The two women were snorkeling for the first time, but they were kindly taught and had no problems enjoying it at all! The masks and snorkels were also the latest models and very clean. It was a bit disappointing that we didn't get to see any turtles and that the time at Hanauma Bay felt a bit rushed.
家族4人で参加しました。(中学2年・小学5年)
ホテルからの送迎もスムーズで、アメリカ人のご主人も日本語問題なく安心できました。
女性2人は初シュノーケリングでしたが、親切に教えてもらいまったく問題なく楽しめました!
マスクやシュノーケルも最新できれいでした。
亀に会えなかったのと、少し時間が短くハナウマ湾でばたばた感があったのが残念でした。
Thank you for participating in the tour. I'm sorry we couldn't show you the cute turtles at Hanauma Bay. I will do my best to make sure we can show you the Honu next time, so please come again!
Also, we offer introductory diving experiences at Hanauma Bay. Children aged 12 and older can participate, so if you're interested, I recommend diving with your kids as well!
I look forward to seeing you again. Thank you very much. Mahalo!
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。ハナウマベイのかわいいカメをお見せ出来ず、ごめんなさいね。
是非次回こそはHonuをお見せ出来るようがんばりますので、また来てくださいね!
それと私達はハナウマベイでの体験ダイビングもやっています。12歳より参加できますので、もしよかったらお子様と一緒にダイビングもお勧めです!
またお会いできるのを楽しみにしています。ありがとうございました。Mahalo!

I visited for a wedding and honeymoon trip.
**Exploring the Sandbar**
I checked the tide levels in Kaneohe Bay in advance and booked the "morning plan" for the second day of our itinerary. Since we participated at low tide, I was able to fully enjoy the strange sensation of standing in the middle of the ocean! It seems that only Captain Bruce can dock at the shallowest point. Just standing there and taking in the beautiful scenery around me was refreshing and enjoyable.
**Snorkeling Point**
It felt like everyone who wanted to snorkel lined up and swam together. We wanted to relax freely, so we borrowed a float and played instead of participating. It was quite cold after getting out of the water, so the warm soup was very appreciated.
**Light Snacks**
As soon as we got on the boat, we were served bread and drinks, and after arriving at the snorkeling point, light snacks were provided buffet-style. It was more substantial than I had imagined, so I wished I had gone easy on breakfast.
結婚式&ハネムーン旅行で訪れました。
【サンドバー散策】
事前にカネオヘ湾の潮位を調べてから、旅程2日目に『午前プラン』を予約しました。干潮時に参加できたので、海の真ん中に立っている不思議な感覚を存分に味わえました!キャプテン・ブルースさんしか停泊できない一番浅いポイントらしいです。その場に立って、周りの美しい景色を眺めているだけで清々しく、楽しかったです。
【シュノーケルポイント】
希望者全員で並んで泳いで行くかんじでした。私たちは自由にのんびりしたかったので、参加せず浮き輪を借りて遊んでいました。海から上がった後は結構寒かったので、温かいスープはとてもありがたかったです。
【軽食】
船に乗ってすぐパンと飲み物が、シュノーケルポイントに着いてからバイキング形式で軽食が出ました。想像以上に充実していたので、朝食を控えめにしておけばよかったなと思いました。
Aloha! Thank you for joining the Captain Bruce's Paradise of the Pacific tour the other day. And congratulations on your wedding! I'm really glad that it became one of the precious memories of your honeymoon. Please come back to Paradise of the Pacific again. We look forward to that day. Mahalo!
アロハ!先日はキャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーにご参加頂きましてありがとうございました。
そしてご結婚おめでとうございます。お二人のハネムーンの大切な想い出の一つとなれたようで本当に良かったです。
またぜひ天国の海に戻って来て下さいね。その日をお待ちしております。マハロ!

I always go snorkeling, but I booked this tour because I wanted to swim with dolphins. It takes a little time to get to the location, but the sea is clear. When we spotted the dolphins, we all jumped into the water. The dolphins swam gracefully in the deep water.
It might be a bit different from what you imagine when you see it on TV, but wild dolphins are amazing. We also got to go canoeing, which was fantastic. The hamburger we had at the end was the best for the kids.
シュノーケリングは、いつもしているがイルカと泳ぎたいというリクエストに、このツアーに予約をしました。場所までは、少し時間がかかりますが、海は澄んでいます。イルカ発見いっせいに海へ。イルカは深いところを優雅に泳いでいます。
テレビで見ているような一緒に泳ぐを想像するとちょっと違うかも。しかし野生のイルカ最高です。そのほかに、カヌーなどもさせていただいて。最高。最後に食べたハンバーガーが子供たち最高でしたということです。
Thank you for participating. We're glad you enjoyed it. We look forward to your next participation!

This was an excellent day out for the two of us. Unfortunately I had difficulty snorkelling but was not pressured by the staff to keep trying. My boyfriend saw some amazing sights while snorkelling and snuba-ing, including a turtle (see photo). We received complimentary drinks (including alcohol) and lunch was either a chicken or pulled pork sandwich which was lovely. Cameron the snuba instructor was very nice and informative and tried his best to give us an enjoyable trip.

This was a great beach day at Kailua Beach! We were picked up by mini van right at our hotel and taken to a small plaza containing the water sports store sponsoring the activity. The people in the store were pleasant and showed us the lockers and gave us our vouchers for the included lunch. Also included was the use of boogie boards and beach chairs. The beach is a short walk from the plaza so keep in mind that you will need to carry things with you. Towels not included so be sure to bring your own! The beach itself is gorgeous and clean with that beautiful blue iridescent water! We set up shop under a tree and were happy there all day. There are facilities at the beach. While the food places were open at 10:00 AM, we chose to wait until 12:30 to eat. We opted for the pizza and drink. The pizza was the closest to true NY style we had in Hawaii...we were very impressed! It says one slice however the slice is actually a quarter of a very large pie and they cut it in two for you so it is two good sized slices! At the end of the day we headed back to the store and turned in our beach things we had borrowed and browsed the gift shop. A great day!
Thank you for your feedback, Mrs. D! We are so happy that you took advantage of our different options and had a great beach day here in Kailua. Mahalo!

This is a cozy tour guided by the friendly couple, Dan and Chieko. We participated as a group of five, from my 64-year-old mother-in-law down to our 7-year-old son. There was also another family of four, making a total of nine people on the tour. From the moment we were picked up to the time we were dropped off, we felt their constant care and attention. During the main snorkeling activity, the experienced guides ensured that everyone in the group had a great time, and they especially stayed close to my mother-in-law, allowing her to enjoy snorkeling with peace of mind. Although we didn't encounter any turtles, the hospitality we experienced made this tour feel worth more than the price we paid. I believe that snorkeling can vary depending on the weather and time of day, so you might not see everything you hope for, but I think it's worth participating.
They also manage valuables securely, which is reassuring. As others have mentioned in their experiences, they upload photos taken during the tour to Facebook, so you can get pictures without needing to bring an underwater camera.
Thank you, Dan and Chieko!
ダンさんちえこさんの仲良し夫婦が案内してくれるアットホームなツアーです。
上は64歳の妻の母から下は7歳の息子まで5人で参加しました。他には家族4人で参加しているグループと計9人でのツアーでした。迎えの車の中から帰りの送迎の間まで常に私たちに心遣いをしてくれていることが感じられるツアーでした。メインのシュノーケリングではベテランガイドらしくグループのすべての人たちが楽しめるよう気遣っていただき、特に妻の母にはほぼつきっきりでいてくださり安心してシュノーケリングを楽しむことができました。カメに合うことはできませんでしたが、おもてなしの心遣いが感じられることで、値段以上の価値を感じられるツアーです。シュノーケリングは天候や時間帯により見えるものは違うので思ったものが見えない可能性はあると、思いますが参加して損はないと思います。
貴重品管理もしっかりしていて安心できます。他の人も体験談で書いておられる通り現地で撮った写真をfacebookでアップしてくれるので水中カメラを持参しなくても写真を入手できます。
ダンさんちえこさんありがとうございました。
Thank you for joining our tour. We will do our best to show you the cute turtles next time, so please come again with everyone! We are looking forward to it. Mahalo!

Waking up early was worth it.
I was able to swim with a large pod of wild dolphins and even with false killer whales. The captain was flexible and extended our time by about an hour, and we were also able to do activities like stand-up paddleboarding.
There were many people who got seasick, so I think it's a good idea to take motion sickness medication if you're feeling anxious.
朝は早いですが、早起きして頑張って行った甲斐がありました。
野生のイルカの大群、そしてオキゴンドウとも泳ぐことが出来ました。
船長さんが臨機応変に移動してくださり、1時間ほど延長しましたが、SUP等もできました。
船酔いされてる方がたくさんいたので
不安な方は酔い止めを飲んでおいたほうがいいと思います。
Thank you for participating. We're glad you enjoyed it. We look forward to your next participation!

Since they are wild dolphins, I hoped to see them, but I thought I shouldn't get my hopes up too much. However, I was able to encounter a pod of dolphins!
I spent too much time with the dolphins, and unfortunately, I couldn't do the paddle surfing I was looking forward to. I chose this place instead of a middle school for marine sports...
野生のイルカなので、観れるといいなー、でも期待しすぎ無いようにしないとなー、と思ってましたが、イルカの群れに会えました!
イルカの方に時間を費やしすぎて、楽しみにしていたパドルサーフィンができなかったのが残念でした。
マリンスポーツをするためにいるか中学ではなくこちらにしたので。。
Thank you for participating. I'm glad you enjoyed it. It's a pity that there wasn't enough time for the marine activities. If you come back, I would definitely like you to experience them next time.
ご参加頂きましてありがとうございました。お楽しみ頂けて何よりです。マリンアクティビティの時間がなくなってしまったのは残念でした。またお越し頂けるようであれば、次回は是非ご体験して頂きたいです。

Amazing experience! Dan is very funny and nice, a great guide. Everything was perfectly organized, in every detail. Hanauma Bay is truly spectacular, Dan guided us in a long route in the bay. It was great, we saw a lot of fishes, and Dan took plenty of pics (much better than mine!). He was most helpful also during the trip to Hanauma Bay! A must-do when in Honolulu!
