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＞
Plenty of free time, comfortable, and the lunch is delicious! 自由時間たっぷり、快適でランチが美味しい！
Reviewed by: ＭＡＮＡＭＩ
It was really great. The beach was nearby, and it was convenient to have lockers and changing rooms available. The lunch pizza was the best pizza I've ever had. I want to go just to eat the pizza! It was about a 15-minute walk to the town of Kailua. I was worried about the roads this time, so I walked, but there was plenty of space for biking, so I plan to rent a bike next time.
すごく良かったです。現地ではビーチも近く、ロッカー、更衣室が使えるのが便利でした。ランチのピザも今ままで食べた中で一番美味しいピザでした。ピザだけでも食べに行きたいです！
カイルアの街までは徒歩15分くらいでした。道が心配で今回は徒歩でしたが、自転車走行スペースも広かったので、次回は自転車をレンタルしたいと思います。

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＞
A sea turtle up close... 間近にウミガメが...
Reviewed by: トッシー
The beautiful sea and perfect weather allowed me to see many sea turtles up close. It's clear that they take great care of the turtles. I highly recommend it.
However, there was one issue: while returning to the boat from the sandbar, a sea turtle appeared near me. Someone threw the shrimp tails we had for lunch between the turtle and me. Was that a tourist's doing? Was it a staff instruction? I'm still unsure if feeding them was acceptable, and I missed the chance to ask, which leaves me feeling a bit unsettled.
綺麗な海、天気も最高で間近に多くのウミガメを見ることができました。また、ウミガメをとても大切にしていることがよくわかります。
非常におすすめです。
ただ一点、サンドバーから船に戻る時にウミガメが私の近くに現れました。さらに、ウミガメと私の間にランチでいただいたエビの尻尾を誰かが投げ入れました。あれは観光客の故意？スタッフの指示？エサを与えるこの行為自体OKだったのか未だにわかりません。聞きそびれてモヤモヤしてします。
Aloha! This is Captain Bruce's Paradise of the Sea Tour. Thank you very much for participating. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed the tour.
Regarding your comment about the sea turtles, in Hawaii, sea turtles are specially protected animals, and there are regulations that prohibit touching or feeding them. We strive to explain these rules during our tours, but it seems that we did not communicate this clearly enough this time, and I sincerely apologize for any confusion caused to you, Toshi.
Moving forward, we will work on improving our explanations to ensure that such issues do not occur again. Thank you very much for your valuable feedback. We look forward to welcoming you back, along with our precious companions, the sea turtles.
アロハ！キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーです。この度はご参加いただき誠にありがとうございました。ツアーを楽しんで頂いたようで，嬉しく思います。
またご指摘いただきましたウミガメの件ですが、ハワイではウミガメは特別に保護されている動物ですので触ったり餌をあげることはできない規則となっており、
弊社でもツアーの際にウミガメを保護するための規則をご説明しているつもりなのですが、この度はしっかりと皆様に伝わっていなかったようでトッシー様を困惑させてしまい大変申し訳ございませんでした。
今後はこのようなことがないように、もっとわかりやすくお客様にご説明するよう改善していきたいと思っております。貴重なご意見を頂戴いただき誠にありがとうございました。またのお越しを、大切な仲間であるウミガメと一緒に心よりお待ち申し上げております。

I was very satisfied with the thorough guide from one end of Hanauma Bay to the other. Compared to other tours, the content was rich and a bit challenging, but I think the level of satisfaction was completely different. Additionally, I was impressed by the flexibility in adjusting the content to match the participants, and I was touched by the personalities of Chieko and Dan! I also appreciated that they provided photos for free on Facebook.
ハナウマ湾を端から端まで丁寧にガイドいただき大満足でした。
他のツアーに比べて、内容が充実していて、少しハードですが、満足度が全く違うと思います。
また、参加者に合わせて柔軟に内容を合わせていただいており、チエコとダンの人柄に感激しました！
写真もフェイスブックで無料提供してもらえたのもありがたかったです。
Dear Happa, thank you for visiting with your family this time. We are very happy to hear that you were satisfied with our guide. I'm glad you were able to successfully download the underwater photos.
Since you chose our tour among many others, we started this service with the thought that at least we could provide you with your underwater photos. It means a lot to us that you enjoyed it!
Please do consider repeating your visit with your family the next time you come to Hawaii. We will always be here to welcome you.
Thank you very much. Mahalo!!
はっぱ様、この度はご家族でお越しいただき、ありがとうございます。
私達のガイドにご満足いただけたようでとても嬉しく思います。水中写真も無事にダウンロードしていただけて良かったです。
数あるツアーの中から私達のツアーを選んでお越しいただきましたので、せめて皆さんの水中写真ぐらいはと思い始めたサービスです。喜んでいただけて何よりです！

Did you go after Obon? It would have been better if there were no jellyfish. I was stung by a jellyfish, and the stinging sensation lasted for about an hour, but after that, I was fine. The pizza for lunch was delicious.

Thank you for participating in the tour and for your review.
It seems that there was a large jellyfish bloom this past week, and it must have been painful for you. I'm glad to hear it settled down after about an hour.

Amazing! I highly recommend it. 最高！おススメです。
Reviewed by: エムタン
I participated in this highly-rated snorkeling tour at Hanauma Bay, among several options available. I had some previous snorkeling experience, but I wanted to join a properly guided tour. Early in the morning, our guide Dan picked us up from the hotel and we headed to Hanauma Bay.
Initially, I wasn't planning to rent a wetsuit, but after receiving explanations about injury prevention and increased buoyancy, I decided to rent one. It was my first time wearing a wetsuit, and I highly recommend it! Hanauma Bay has deep areas, but we also swam in shallow rocky spots. If I hadn't worn the wetsuit, my legs might have been covered in cuts… (*^^*)
Guides Dan and Chieko took us to a spot with plenty of fish. I don't think we would have encountered so many fish on our own. Before I knew it, we had been swimming for nearly an hour, which was surprising! I think I'm going to become hooked on snorkeling.
Thank you, Dan and Chieko! I would love to join again!
ハナウマ湾シュノーケリングツアーはいくつかありましたが、高評価のこのツアーに参加しました。以前、ちょっとしたシュノーケルは体験済みでしたが、きちんとガイド付きのツアーに参加したくて…。早朝、ガイドのダンさんがホテルまでピックアップにきてくれて、ハナウマ湾まで向かいます。
ウェットスーツは当初レンタルする予定ではありませんでしたが、ケガ防止や浮きやすくなるなどの説明を受けてレンタルすることにしました。初めてウェットスーツを着用しましたが、これはおススメです！ハナウマ湾は深いところもありますが、岩場の浅瀬で岩ギリギリのところも泳ぎます。もし、ウェットスーツを着用してなかったら、足が傷だらけになっていたかも…(*^^*)
ガイドのダンさんとチエコさんがお魚がたくさんいるところまで連れて行ってくれます。自分たちだけのシュノーケルだとこんなにたくさんのお魚には出会えていなかったと思います。気が付いたら、１時間近く泳いでいて、びっくり！！シュノーケリングのとりこになりそうです。
ダンさん、チエコさん、ありがとうございました！ また、参加したいです！！
Thank you, Mr. M-Tan, for joining the Blue Hawaii Divers tour with your partner. The wetsuits not only provide insulation but also protect your body from scrapes and increase buoyancy, allowing you to swim more safely. Hanauma Bay has plenty of fish in the shallow rocky areas, so we will focus on swimming around the rocks during the tour. Therefore, wearing a wetsuit is recommended even in summer to prevent injuries. I'm really glad you enjoyed snorkeling. Please consider repeating the tour when you come back to Hawaii! Thank you very much. Mahalo!!
エムタン様、この度はブルーハワイダイバースのツアーにお二人でお越しいただき、ありがとうございます。
ウェットスーツは保温だけではなく、体をすり傷などから守ったり、浮力が増すことでより安心して泳いで頂けるんです。
ハナウマ湾は浅瀬の岩場の所にお魚達がいっぱいいるので、ツアーでは岩場を中心に泳いで行きます。ですからケガ防止のためには夏でもウェットスーツはオススメなんですよ。シュノーケリングを楽しんでいただけて、本当に良かったです。またハワイにお越しの際にはツアーにリピートしてくださいね！
本当にありがとうございました。Mahalo!!

West Oahu Snorkel Cruise with Dolphin Watch, Kayak, SUP, Waterslide & Lunch
Dolphins and more
Reviewed by: David F
Fantastic and energetic staff. Customer service was wonderful. Saw many Dolphin immediately. The guides in the water during the snorkeling time. Water was a little choppy and several customers were sick. Can’t do one thing about that, however, there needs to be another water cooler on the main level and one on the top level. Hydration is a must in these situations and water needs to be readily available for these people. Also, bigger cups. Lastly, during the swim on your own time, we saw a bunch of fish, but the wind was blowing the boat away from the swimmers and it was difficult to catch up. I would suggest a long rope line in the water with a orange float on the end that people can swim to when the boat is blowing away from the swimmers. Quick lunch a was good and well planned. Overall, we had a wonderful experience. Would highly recommend this tour!!!

It was my first time snorkeling, and I was able to enjoy it with peace of mind thanks to the Japanese guide!
You can leave your belongings locked up on the beach, so it's safe. (That said, it's better to avoid bringing large sums of money or anything that would be a problem if stolen...)
You can also take photos with a GoPro.
We had a lot of blurry pictures, so that was a bit disappointing...
初めてのシュノーケリングでしたが、日本語ガイドで安心して楽しめました！
荷物も鍵をかけて、ビーチに置くので、安心です。（とはいえ大金とか、盗難でこまるものはやめた方が良いですが…）
GoProで写真も撮っていただけます。
私たちはピンぼけとかが多かったので、それだけ残念でした…
Dear Takemoto, thank you for joining our tour. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed your first snorkeling experience.
Underwater photography is indeed challenging. Both the fish and people are moving, and the colors change depending on the position of the sun. Even with daily practice, underwater photography is truly deep and difficult.
We hope you will join us again on another tour when you come back to Hawaii. We are always here to welcome you.
Thank you very much. Mahalo!!
takemoto様、この度はツアーにお越しいただき、ありがとうございます。初めてのシュノーケリングを楽しんでいただけた様で、私たちも嬉しく思います。
水中写真は難しいですね。お魚も人物も動きますし、太陽の位置によって色の出方も変わります。毎日撮っていても本当に水中写真は奥が深く難しいです。
またハワイにお越しの際にはツアーにリピートで来ていただけたらと思っております。いつでもお待ちしております。
本当にありがとうございました。Mahalo!!

Second dolphin tour. 2回目のイルカツアー
Reviewed by: summer
I was taken care of three years ago as well. I was moved to see that some of the staff members I had met before remembered me. My daughter, who participated previously, was 7 years old and scared to swim in the deep sea, so my wife stayed close to her, and I couldn't see much, which made me want to try again. This time, my daughter is now 10 years old and happily went into the sea, where she was able to see dolphins and honu (sea turtles) clearly.
On the boat, all the staff members were very kind and cheerful, making the time pass quickly. However, one thing I found disappointing was that they introduced a new two-story boat that can accommodate about 70 people. Because of this, there was less opportunity for conversation with the staff, and when swimming to see the dolphins and honu, there were too many people, leading to frequent collisions among guests, which was unfortunate.
３年前にもお世話になりました。
スタッフは以前お世話になった方もおられ、しかも私の事を覚えてくれていたことには感動しました。以前参加した娘は７歳で深い海で泳ぐのが怖いと海に入れず、妻が付きっ切りとなりあまり見れなくてリベンジしました。今回は娘も１０歳となり平気で海にはいりイルカとホヌをしっかり見れたと喜んでおりました。
船上でもスタッフの皆さんがとても親切で明るく盛り上げて頂き、あっと言う間に時間が過ぎてしまいました。 ただ一つ残念に思ったのは新型の船を導入し２階建ての船となっており７０名ほど乗れるそうですが、その分スタッフとの会話も減りイルカやホヌを見に泳ぐときも人が多すぎて密集し、お客さん同士がぶつかることが多々あり残念と感じました。

I realized my dream of swimming with dolphins. 憧れのイルカと泳ぐを実現しました
Reviewed by: Okana
After being picked up at the hotel early in the morning, we received a tour briefing from the tour photographer and driver until we headed to the bus. There were quite a few participants that day, so the group was split into two buses. On the boat, there were some very energetic guides, just as mentioned in the reviews, who kept us entertained throughout the trip. Unfortunately, we only saw dolphins once. There were so many people that it was a struggle to swim with the guides. I felt that I would like to participate when there are fewer people. However, it wasn't that we didn't see anything at all; I was really happy when I saw a dolphin swim right underneath me. The snorkeling didn't feature the colorful fish that you often see in pictures, and I didn't encounter any sea turtles, but it was my first time swimming surrounded by so many fish, and I really enjoyed it. I felt a bit seasick towards the end and wasn't feeling well, but I was able to enjoy the slide and cheeseburgers. It seemed that there were so many people that activities like stand-up paddleboarding weren't mentioned at all, and only the slide was available. If you want to do those activities, it might be a good idea to communicate that clearly to the guides. It felt like the time went by very quickly, but personally, I was at my physical limit, so I was satisfied with that. However, I thought it would be nice if there were tours that allowed for a more leisurely pace with breaks to enjoy the ocean.
早朝ホテルでピックアップされた後、バスで向かうまで、ツアーのフォトグラファーと運転手さんからツアーの説明を受けました。この日は参加者がかなり多く、バスが2台に別れているとのことでした。船には口コミにあったようにかなりハイテンションなガイドさんたちがいて、終始楽しませてくれました。イルカは残念ながら一度しか見られなかったです。人が多すぎてガイドさんと一緒に泳ぐのも必死でした。もう少し人数が少ない時に参加したいと感じました。それでも全く見れないということもなく、イルカが自分の真下を通っていくのを見れた時は本当に嬉しかったです。シュノーケリングはよく写真で見るようなカラフルな魚という感じではなかったし、ウミガメにも出会えなかったけれど、たくさんのお魚に囲まれて泳ぐのが初めてでとても楽しめました。少し船酔い気味で最後は気分が悪かったですが、スライダーやチーズバーガーも楽しむことができました。サップなどのアクティビティは人が多かったからなのか、全く案内されず、スライダーしか用意されていませんでした。やりたい場合はきちんとガイドさんにお伝えしておくと良いのかもしれません。かなりあっという間に感じましたが、個人的には体力的にあのくらいで限界だったので納得することができましたが、もっとゆっくり時間をかけて休憩も挟みながら海を楽しむことができるツアーがあってもよいのかなぁと思いました。

I do not like the water!
Reviewed by: Jenny, Nathan & kids
This was a great experience. I do not like the water and get motion sick very easily. However, I could not visit Hawaii without giving snorkeling a try. Dan showed the kids (10 & 12) what to do and gave us time to practice. Seeing how uncomfortable I was, Dan stayed with me and literally held my hand the whole time. I still felt sick by the end from the motion, but the rest of the family did awesome and really enjoyed the experience. Double Dramamine for me next time.

I had a great time snorkeling for the first time at Hanauma Bay! ♬ 人生初のシュノーケリングをハナウマ湾ですることができて、楽しかったです♬
Reviewed by: YUKI
From August 3rd (Saturday) to August 15th (Thursday), we came to Hawaii for the first time in three years for a family trip, planning to stay for a week on Oahu and five days on the Big Island. I had always wanted to try snorkeling at Hanauma Bay, and with my daughter now in the second grade, we decided to go ahead after referencing many experiences on Veltra.
I was concerned about the impact of the typhoon until the day before, but on the day of the tour, August 5th (Monday), it was clear and we were able to go snorkeling.
Dan came to pick us up at the Hilton Hawaiian Village where he was staying, and he shared stories about snorkeling and other topics during the ride, which made for a fun travel reference. We arrived at the Hanauma Bay parking lot around 7:40, and there were already many cars parked. After meeting up with another tour participant's car, we had a total of nine people for snorkeling. The group consisted of our three family members, two students and their parents, and a couple, making a total of nine.
Once we arrived at Hanauma Bay, Dan's wife, Chieko, carefully explained the features of Hanauma Bay, snorkeling, and the preparations, which made us feel secure about trying it. My daughter, being the youngest at second grade, made me a bit worried at first, but Chieko supported her throughout, and she became the best at snorkeling in our family, beaming with joy saying, "I had fun!"
At 8 AM, the seawater temperature was still a bit cold, and although we hadn't signed up for wetsuits, after hearing Chieko's advice, we decided to wear them. It was great that they had prepared enough for everyone and ensured safety while snorkeling.
The conditions at Hanauma Bay had some waves, so we experienced being pushed back while swimming and also moving forward with the current. At first, I was focused on getting used to the breathing technique for snorkeling and using fins for the first time, but soon I started to see fish and wanted to see them better.
My daughter held hands with Chieko and swam while relaxed, which reassured me. I enjoyed snorkeling while holding hands with my wife. At one point, Chieko spotted a turtle, and we were lucky to see it up close, about three meters away!
Even with just about an hour of snorkeling, it felt long underwater, which was a new sensation for me. Everyone who participated in the tour seemed to have a great time, and it became a wonderful memory from this trip.
Thank you so much, Dan and Chieko. I would love to participate again when we come back to Oahu! (●＾o＾●)
８月３日（土）～８月１５日（木）まで、家族旅行で、オアフ島に1週間とハワイ島に５日間の宿泊予定でハワイに３年ぶりにやってきました。ハナウマ湾で、シュノーケリングをいつかはしてみたいと思っていたので、娘が小学２年生になったのを機に、ベルトラさんで多くの体験談を参考にさせていただき決めていきました。
前日まで台風の影響はどうだろうかと気にかけていましたが、ツアー当日の８月５日（月）は快晴で、シュノーケリングを行うことができました。
ダンさんが滞在している、ヒルトンハワイアンビレッジまで迎えに来てくれて、車内でもシュノーケリングのことやそれ以外のお話もしてくれて、楽しく旅行の参考にもなりました。
ハナウマ湾の駐車場は７：４０くらいに到着して、すでにたくさんの車が停まっていました。もう一台のツアー参加者さんの車と合流して、私たちは９名でシュノーケリングを行っていきました。ツアー参加者の構成は我が家の３人と、学生のお子様２人とご両親の４人家族の方、カップルの方達が１組で合計９人でした。
ハナウマ湾に到着してからは、ダンさんの奥様のチエコさんが、ハナウマ湾の特徴や、シュノーケリングのこと、準備を詳しく丁寧に伝えてくれたので、安心してトライしていくこともできました。小学２年生の娘が最年少で、最初はできるかなと半分心配していましたが、チエコ先生が終始サポートをしてくださり、我が家の中では一番上手にシュノーケリングができるようになり、「楽しかったよ。」と満面の笑みでした。
朝８時はまだ海水の温度が冷えている方らしく、我が家はスウェットスーツまでは申し込んでいませんでしたが、チエコ先生の話を聞いて、着用することにして参加することにしました。人数分準備してあることや、安全にシュノーケリングができることを配慮されていることも良かったです。
ハナウマ湾の状態は波が少しある方でしたので、泳いでも少し戻されていったり、反対に流れとともに進んだりするような感じで潜っていきました。最初はシュノーケリングの呼吸のしかたになれること、フィンを初めて使ったので、動かすことに夢中でしたが、そのうちお魚たちが見えてくるようになり、もっとよく見たいと思えるようになってきました♬
娘はチエコ先生と手をつなぎ、力を抜いて泳ぎながら海中を見れていたので、安心しました。私は妻と一緒に手をつないでシュノーケリングを楽しみました。途中チエコ先生がカメがいることを発見して、3メートルくらいの距離でまじかに見ることができたこともラッキーでした♪
1時間くらいのシュノーケリングの時間でも、海の中では長く感じたことも初めての感覚でした。一緒にツアーに参加されていた皆さんも楽しかったようで、今回の旅の中で、良い想い出になってくれましたよ。
ダンさん・チエコさん本当にありがとうございました。またオアフ島に来た際には、再び参加させていただきたいと思っています（●＾o＾●）
Dear Yuki, thank you for bringing your family to the Blue Hawaii Divers tour. Although there were some waves due to the hurricane's impact, your 7-year-old daughter did very well! I believe the waves helped bring the sea turtles closer for us to see. It was great to see them up close.
We would be thrilled if you could join us again on your next trip to Hawaii. We look forward to seeing you again.
Thank you very much. Mahalo!!
YUKI様、この度はブルーハワイダイバースのツアーにご家族様でお越しいただき、ありがとうございます。ハリケーンの影響で少し波ありではありましたが、７歳の娘さんもとても上手に出来ていましたね！この波のお陰でウミガメさんもインサイドに入ってきてくれたのだと思います。近くで見れて良かったですね。
是非またハワイにお越しの際にはリピートしていただければ嬉しいです。またお会いできるのをお待ちしております。
本当にありがとうございました。Mahalo!!

Reviewed by: ヨッシー
Hanauma Bay snorkeling was guided in Japanese, so I was able to experience it with peace of mind from departure to arrival, and the half day flew by. It was great to hear various stories about sightseeing spots during the car ride as well. Although I didn't get to see the sea turtles I was hoping for during snorkeling, the guide was always attentive to the course and the participants' conditions, ensuring we could see various fish. I would like to try again for the sea turtles.
ハナウマ湾シュノーケリングは日本語ガイドさんでしたので、出発から
到着まで安心して体験できたので半日があっという間でした。
車中でも観光名所などいろいろな話も聞けて良かったです。
シュノーケリングでは、期待していたウミガメには会えませんでしたが
様々な魚を見れるようコースや参加者の体調を常に気遣ってくれていました。
ウミガメ再度挑戦したいなと思います。
Dear Yoshi, thank you for joining the tour with Blue Hawaii Divers last year. I’m sorry we couldn’t find any sea turtles for you. I will do my best to show them to you next time, so please come back again. We are always waiting for you. Thank you very much. Mahalo!!

The sea was murky, possibly due to the rain that had fallen the day before, and it didn't match the beautiful scenery I had expected from the photos. The other places I visited during my stay had clearer waters. However, I was able to experience snorkeling and also try stand-up paddleboarding, which I had wanted to do. I also encountered turtles several times, which was enjoyable. The lunch was even more delicious than I had imagined.
前日まで雨が降っていたこともあってか、海は濁っており、写真で見て期待していた景色、海の綺麗さではありませんでした。
海は、滞在中に行った他の場所の方が綺麗でした…。
しかし、シュノーケリングに加え、やってみたかったSUPも体験できました。また、亀にも何度も遭遇でき楽しむことができました。
ランチも想像以上に美味しかったです。

I was truly moved to swim with sea turtles!!! I have participated in several tours before that promised swimming with dolphins and sea turtles, but I was always disappointed because I never saw them. However, this tour was really amazing! I got to swim close to sea turtles and even encountered a sleeping one, which made me want to join again next time. The food was good, and the guides were all kind and funny, plus they spoke Japanese perfectly, so I think it's even better for those who might feel anxious about being away from home.

West Oahu Snorkel Cruise with Dolphin Watch, Kayak, SUP, Waterslide & Lunch
Swim with Wild Dolphins Cruise
Reviewed by: Tammy Jarvis
Our activity was rescheduled by the company for a 3 days later which we received a gift for our inconvenience. When we arrived we quickly realized that there were going to be many people going. I was expecting a much smaller group. Our family of 5 decided to ride on the upper deck and had the best time. Our main guide was Oliver who was very friendly and funny. He made our experience very enjoyable. The entire crew was friendly as well. The Captain proceeded to try to find dolphins. Much to our dismay he was unable to locate them but he drove all over trying his best to locate them. With the changes in the water with the hurricane 1300 miles away the dolphins had retreated to deeper waters. This didn't take away from our very fun experience. We were able to snorkel for a good amount of time where we did see a turtle. Other water activities were available as well. There were 2 photographers on board.. 1 which was in the water as well. We were fed lunch very efficiently and the staff made sure we had everything we needed. We were treated to 2 hula dancers which was a lot of fun. I would recommend this experience to anyone. A great
crew and a fun adventure!

I had an awesome time snorkeling and would highly recommend the tour. I am not a strong swimmer and was somewhat anxious about the experience. To calm my fears, Cheiko held my hand for the majority of the tour which allowed me to relax and to challenge myself to let go and enjoy the moment. I felt safe and was able to accomplish a personal goal, especially since I love adventure. What a thrilling ride! My nephew accompanied me who had the time of his life as well!

The weather had been nice, so I was looking forward to it, but the water clarity wasn't very high. Okinawa and Guam are much prettier. I did encounter a sea turtle, but due to the low water clarity, I couldn't see it very clearly. There were some fish, but it didn't feel like there were many.
天気も良い日が続いていたので期待していきましたが、あまり透明度が高くなかったです。沖縄やグアムの方が綺麗。
ウミガメにも出会えましたが、海の透明度が低いので、あまりクリアには見えませんでした。
お魚さんもいるにはいましたが、たくさんいる感じではなかったです。
Thank you for participating in the tour. The weather was nice, but it was right at high tide, so there were some waves and the visibility wasn't great that day. However, after practicing at the keyhole, we were able to spot a sea turtle right away because it came in with the waves during high tide. That's one of the good points about high tide.
Next time, if you choose to come during low tide, you should be able to enjoy Hanauma Bay with better visibility and lots of beautiful fish. We look forward to your next visit to Hanauma Bay. Thank you very much. Mahalo!!
この度はツアーにご参加いただき、有難うございます。お天気は良かったのですが丁度満ち潮の時間帯でしたので、波もあり透明度は良くなかった日でしたね。ですが、キーホールで練習後、すぐにウミガメさんを見つけられたのは満ち潮の波に乗ってウミガメさんがインサイドに入ってきてくれたからなんですよ。これが満ち潮の良い点でもあります。
ぜひ次回は引き潮の時を選んでお越しいただければ、透明度が良くて綺麗なお魚さんがいっぱいのハナウマ湾を楽しんでいただけるはずです。
またハナウマ湾にお越しいただけることをお待ちしております。ありがとうございました。Mahalo!!

I was able to swim with sea turtles! 海亀さんと泳げました！
Reviewed by: とんとことん
I had a wonderful half-day at the dreamlike sandbar, even though I was a bit anxious about bringing my baby. Everyone was very friendly, and I truly enjoyed the experience!
I was thrilled to swim with the sea turtles that come to work every day (laughs). They were so friendly, and my child was excited when a turtle came close and touched me!
The snorkeling took us to some really deep spots, but for small children, they provided large boogie boards with windows (for a fee) to take them along. They also made sure that both parents could participate separately, showing great attention to detail so that everyone could enjoy their time.
Even if you're not confident in swimming, there are other activities available (like paddle boarding), and it's a great recommendation for those who want to try a little bit of everything—walking on the sandbar, snorkeling, and swimming with the sea turtles! The lunch was delicious too (^ - ^).
Although the calendar indicated low tide, we couldn't walk on the beach, so I might have misunderstood how to read it, or perhaps it was just a low tide that didn't expose the sand. Also, it was just before the jellyfish warning period, but we did see a few jellyfish. It's nature, so that's a bit tricky.
All in all, it was a fun experience! Thank you!
憧れのサンドバー、赤ちゃん連れの参加で少し不安でしたが、皆さんとてもフレンドリーで楽しい半日を過ごさせていただきました！
毎日出勤してくる（笑）海亀さんと一緒に泳げたのが感動でした。とても人懐こい亀さんで、海亀さんが近寄ってきて僕に触ったよ！！とこどもが興奮していました。
シュノーケリングも、すごく深いところを行くのですが、小さな子供は窓がついた大きなビート板のようなもの（有料）に載せて連れていけたり、両親がそれぞれで参加できるように配慮してくださっていたり、参加した人が皆楽しんで帰れるような細やかな気配りが随所感じられて素晴らしかったです。
泳ぎに自信がなくても他に遊ぶ道具（パドルボート？とか）があったりしますし、サンドバーを歩いてみたい、シュノーケリングもちょっとしたい、他のアクティビティにも興味があるし、海亀さんとも泳ぎたい！！という、あれこれ少しずつ体験したい方にオススメです！お昼ご飯も美味しかったです(^-^)
カレンダーでは引き潮っぽかったのに砂浜は歩けませんでしたので、カレンダーの見方を間違えたのか、引き潮でも砂浜の出ない引き具合だったのか。あと、くらげ注意のギリギリ手前の日程だったのですが、少しくらげがいました。自然のことなので、その辺は難しいですね。
何はともあれ楽しかったです！ありがとうございました！

West Oahu Snorkel Cruise with Dolphin Watch, Kayak, SUP, Waterslide & Lunch
Swim with Dolphins and Snorkel Review
Reviewed by: John
Overall this was not one of the better snorkel experiences. The boat was too crowded, with 61 snorkelers. The right size for the boat should have been about 40. Especially crowded at the start where people were not allowed on the top deck when leaving port.
The crew try their best to provide a good time. They are energetic and enthusiastic.
Food option was another issue. Basically you get either a cheeseburger or veggie cheeseburger. No other choices. I hate cheese. Since food is pre-made, there is no opportunity for a simple hamburger. Drinks are either water or watered down lemonade, served in tiny cups. Should have had more variety and larger cups. You also can get a bag of chips.
Swimming with the dolphin is basically everyone jump in the water, look down to see a couple dolphins swim by, and then jump right back in the boat.
Snorkeling was not rushed, but the site did not have many fish or varieties of fish.
Water slide was fun. Much more fun than snorkeling.
Aloha
I am sorry that conditions were less than ideal on your tour.
Our boat is actually certified for 97 passengers. We will talk to our staff about openinig up the top deck from the begining. Usually for larger groups we do allow that. There should be room for everyone to move around comfortably from the onset.
We have a no cheese option for both the beef and veggie burger. We are constantly trying to improve our program. We actually just got our Liquor License and have been discussing different beverage options.
The swim with the dolphins and snorkeling vary based on conditions and their behavior. Ideally we like to have longer, closer views of the animals in their natural enviornment. Usually we see turtles and a variety of fish. Occassionally other cool sea life like eels, rays and even monk seals.
We are glad you enjoyed the slide. And hope you can come back with us sometime so we an make the experience and memory better for you.
Kind regards

A breathtaking spot often seen in TV shows and guidebooks! I wanted to go to the sandbar, so I signed up.
It was definitely the right choice! I highly recommend it!!
On my boat, Justin kept the energy up and it was a lot of fun. I tend to get seasick, so I took some motion sickness medication before joining. It didn't rock too much, so it wasn't a problem. The lunch on the boat was delicious too!
The sandbar had cloudy skies with occasional sunny breaks, and I took a lot of photos.
It would have been even better if it had been clear!
I had a great time snorkeling and paddleboarding.
I even got to see a sea turtle!!

野生のイルカウォッチング＆ウミガメシュノーケリングクルーズ ジャンボスライダーやSUPも楽しめる！＜ランチ付き／ワイキキ＆コオリナ送迎／日本語または英語ガイド＞
The tour itself was just okay, but... ツアー自体はまあまあですが・・・
Reviewed by: ほんだびーと
There was a bit of trouble with the operating company at the meeting point. We arrived at the meeting location more than five minutes before the scheduled time. Then, a flashy bus with the "Dolphin & You" logo passed right in front of us, and thinking we had been left behind, we hurried to chase after it, but it just kept going. Since we had minimal luggage and didn't have our smartphones, we had no choice but to return to the hotel, where we received a call from the operating company... They said they had come to pick us up at the meeting point but since we weren't there, we could no longer participate in the tour.
Actually, the bus we chased after was a different bus picking up Western guests, while Japanese guests were supposed to be picked up by a smaller van (a plain white bus without the operating company's name or logo), which apparently arrived quite late on the day of the tour. Despite this, the operating company said, "Since this is a cancellation on your part, we cannot issue a refund. If you want to participate, please take a taxi to the harbor." I thought it was unreasonable to ask us to take a taxi to a location that takes an hour by car, and when I expressed my frustration asking, "Is this really our responsibility???" they reluctantly agreed to send someone to pick us up.
On the morning of the tour, a confirmation call was made to the hotel, but the staff member was not fluent in Japanese and did not provide detailed information during the prior call. Therefore, I recommend confirming what kind of bus will come to pick you up on the day of the tour.
Once we got on the boat, I thought the staff members were very kind and helpful. There were also staff members who spoke Japanese fluently. They were very high-energy, which might be a bit overwhelming if you’re feeling unwell. In my case, I think the strong winds contributed to my discomfort, and I felt that snorkeling might be tough for small children... My child cried a lot during the first attempt and couldn't handle it. Dolphins can only be seen underwater as dark shadows, so it might be better for children to see them from the boat.
I also brought an underwater camera, but it's quite difficult unless you're a good swimmer. Regarding clothing, I wore a rash guard and tights, and I think that was sufficient without needing to rent a wetsuit (the rental wetsuits are short types). As for belongings, you should definitely borrow a bath towel from the hotel and bring it with you. It can get a bit chilly on the way back, so it's better to take off wet rash guards and dry off with the bath towel before putting on a dry shirt.
As for tipping, which can be confusing for Japanese people, it didn't seem like it was strictly enforced. The Q&A section on the operating company's website also mentions that a small gesture is sufficient. I hope this information is helpful to everyone.
集合時に運営会社と少しとトラブルになりました。
私たちは集合場所に待ち合わせ時間の5分以上前から来ていました。
すると「ドルフィン＆ユー」のロゴが描かれた派手めのバスが目の前を通り過ぎてしまったので、置いて行かれたと思い、慌てて追いかけたのですが、そのまま行ってしまいました。
荷物も最小限で、スマホも持っていなかったので、仕方なくホテルに戻ったところ、運営会社から電話が・・・。集合場所にピックアップにきたが、いないのでもうツアーには参加できないとのことでした。
実は我々が追いかけたバスは、欧米人客を拾っていく別便のバスで、日本人客はそれよりは小さいバンのようなバス（運営会社名もロゴもない、真っ白なバスです）が拾っていくことになってたらしいのですが、当日それが待ち合わせ時間よりもかなり遅れてきたのです。
・・・にも関わらず、運営会社がいうには、「そちらの都合のキャンセルなので、返金には応じられない。参加したければ、タクシーでハーバーまで来てください。」とのことでした。
車で1時間もかかるところに、タクシーで来いというのもどうかと思いますし、さすがに「それってこちらの責任なのですか？？？」と憤ったところ、渋々なんとか迎えにきてくれました。
当日の朝に確認の電話がホテルに掛かってきますが、そのときのスタッフは日本語が堪能ではなく、事前の電話でそこまで詳細な情報までは教えてはくれませんでした。
ですので、当日はどんなバスが迎えにくるのかを必ず確認された方がいいと思います。
船に乗ってからは、スタッフの皆さんとても親切で良かったと思います。
日本語がとても流暢なスタッフもいました。
とてもハイテンションなので、気分が悪くなるとちょっとしんどいかもしれません。
私の場合は、結構風が強かったのも原因かと思いますが、シュノーケリングは小さいお子さんは厳しいかも・・・という印象でした。
うちの子は、1回目で大泣きでダメでした。
イルカは水中で見ても、黒い影のようにしか見えないので、子供は船上で見た方がいいかもしれません。
あと水中カメラを持っていきましたが、泳ぎが得意な方でないとなかなか難しいです。
あと服装ですが、私はラッシュカードとタイツをはいて行きましたが、ウエットスーツ（貸しウエットスーツは短パンタイプです）を借りなくても、これで十分だと思いました。
荷物としては、バスタオルはホテルで借りて必ず持っていくべきでしょう。やはり帰りはちょっと寒いので、ぬれたラッシュガードなどは脱いで、バスタオルで体を拭って、乾いたシャツ等を着る方がいいと思います。
日本人が戸惑うチップですが、そんなにきっちり払っている感じはなかったです。運営会社HPのQ&Aにも書いてありますが、気持ち程度でいいと思います。
皆さんの参考になればと思います。

The weather was wonderful, and the color of the sea was just as I expected! I was worried if my elderly mother would enjoy it, but when we got off the boat and walked in the shallow water, she was satisfied to see sea turtles and fish up close.

If I have the chance to go to Hawaii again, I would love to participate!

本当にありがとうございました。Mahalo!!

Sea turtle ウミガメ
Reviewed by: わかちゃん
Not only did I get to see the long-awaited sea turtles, but they also came up to me. I was told that since they are an endangered species, touching them would result in a fine, but the turtles were so friendly that they came up to me, and I couldn't avoid touching them.
For lunch, we had croissants filled with ham and cheese, macaroni salad, meatballs, and pineapple, which was okay. I was worried about motion sickness, so I paid $20 for a wristband. Its effectiveness was questionable. I would like more detailed information about Kailua Town. The shower was cold.
Kaeruya.
待望のウミガメが見れただけでなく、私によって来てくれて、絶滅危惧種だから触ったら罰金と言われていましたが、ウミガメの方から触れて来てくれて避けれなかったくらい人懐っかかったです。
お昼はクロワッサンにハムやチーズが挟んでいる物や、マカロニサラダ、ミートボール、パイナップルとまあまあ。酔い止めというリストバンドを心配だから20ドル払って買いました。効果は微妙。カイルアタウンは内容を詳しく書いて欲しい。シャワーが冷たい。
