For the first time in three years, it's sunny!
The clarity of the sea in Kailua and Lanikai is different from Waikiki!
The time spent at the Pillbox was a blissful moment, especially after the effort it took to get there!

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＞

I was able to see dolphins and turtles! イルカも見れたし、カメも見れました！

Reviewed by: Misuzu

In the morning, I was a bit worried because it was very early, but the guide arrived on time and was very energetic, so I didn't get bored on the bus. We were able to jump from the boat and see dolphins, and the local staff, who are also professional hula dancers, showed us wonderful hula dances on the boat.

There were some people who got seasick, but the hamburgers they made on the boat were simple yet delicious! I felt like I wanted to swim more in the ocean, but it was a lot of fun.

朝、とても早かったので少し心配でしたが、ガイドさんも遅れずに来てもらえし、朝から、とても元気なガイドさんだったので、バスでも退屈しませんでした。　船から、飛び込み、イルカを見ることもできましたし、フラダンスのプロでもある現地スタッフの方々が船の上で素敵なフラダンスも見せてくれました。
船酔いされていた方もいらっしゃいましたが、船の上で作ってくれた、ハンバーガーはとても素朴でしたが美味しかったです！　もっと海で泳ぎたかった気もしますが、とても楽しかったです。

Please be aware that there are differences in the service provided. 対応に差があるので注意です

Reviewed by: mika

I participated in the tour in January. Overall, I was satisfied with the content of the tour. It was the rainy season, but I had a great time. I felt safe while snorkeling because we had floats. I even got to see a sea turtle.

At the end of the tour, there was an announcement saying, "If you are satisfied, please consider tipping," so it's a good idea to have cash ready.

However, I was a bit disappointed with the staff's response. During the free time of the tour, the staff were taking photos of each group, but while other groups were posing and taking multiple shots, we were not approached at all. Later, we could purchase the photos taken, but the only one of us during our free time was a single shot taken from a distance, and it wasn't even a posed shot—it was a candid one.

Looking at the overall tour photos, it seemed that only families and groups of girls were being photographed, while there were very few pictures of couples.

(This is a subjective impression, but I felt a bit uncomfortable seeing the staff taking multiple photos of the all-girls groups while ignoring us. Haha.)

Even though we paid the same tour fee, it felt like there was a difference in treatment, so I think it's important to think carefully about the tip amount at the end.

1月に参加しました。ツアーの内容はおおむね満足です。雨季でしたが楽しく過ごせました。
シュノーケルも浮きを付けるので安心して行えました。ウミガメもみれました。
ツアーの最後に「満足できた場合はチップをお願いします」とアナウンスされるので、現金を用意した方が良いです。

ただスタッフの方の対応にちょっとがっかりでした。
ツアーの自由行動中に、スタッフの方がグループ毎に声をかけて写真を撮っていたのですが、他のグループはポーズをつけて何度も撮影していたのに、私達は声もかけられませんでした。
後から撮影写真をみて購入できますが、私達の自由行動中の写真は遠くから撮影された1枚だけでした。それもカメラ目線ですらなく隠し撮りです。
ツアー全体の写真をみても、なぜか家族連れや女の子のグループばかり撮影されていて、カップルの写真は少なかったです。

（主観的な感想ですが、スタッフの方が女の子だけのグループに声をかけて何枚も何枚も写真を撮っていたのは若干気持ち悪く感じてしまいました。笑）

同じようにツアー代金を払っていてもこんなふうに差をつけられるので、最後に払うチップ代金はよく考えた方が良いと思います。

Reviewed by: A.N

I've done snorkeling a few times domestically, but Hawaii is on a whole different scale (laughs). The fish are larger, and I even got to meet a sea turtle! It was truly moving!! It's definitely better to have a wetsuit! The rocks and coral can hit your feet. The snorkel was also the type that doesn't let water in, so I didn't end up drinking seawater even after swimming for a long time♪ The guide was very kind, and I definitely want to go again.

シュノーケリングを国内で何度かやってきましたが、ハワイはやはりスケールが違いました(笑)魚は大きいし、ウミガメにも会えました！本当に感動です！！ウェットスーツは絶対にあった方が良いです！岩場とか珊瑚が足に当たります。シュノーケルも水が口に入ってこないタイプで長時間泳いでも海水を飲むことはありませんでした♪ガイドさんもとっても優しい方でぜひまた行きたいです

It was drizzling on the day, but since it was Hawaii, the rain stopped by the time we went into the ocean. The weather was a bit chilly for swimming, but since I had borrowed a wetsuit, it felt manageable. Thanks to the Japanese staff, I was able to swim comfortably and have fun! I was thrilled to encounter three sea turtles. I highly recommend this for anyone wanting to go snorkeling in Hawaii.

当日は小雨だったのですが、ハワイの天気なので海に入る頃にはやんでいました。海に入るには寒い天気でしたが、ウエットスーツを借りていたのでそこまで、まだ入れるなという感じでした。日本人スタッフのおかげで、安心して楽しく泳ぐことができました！なんとウミガメに3匹も遭遇することができ感動しました。ハワイでシュノーケリングをしたいと思っている人はおすすめです。

Kailua Beach カイルアビーチ

Reviewed by: マイリー

The day before, there was heavy rain, so they kindly lent us bicycles for free since we couldn't swim at Kailua Beach. We were originally planning to go to Lanikai Beach, so this was a great help. However, unlike in Japan, the bicycles didn't have brakes; they used the pedals for braking, which was a bit scary at first.

Additionally, the tour included mats and snorkeling, so there were no inconveniences.

前日が大雨でカイルアビーチで遊泳できなかった為、自転車を無料で貸し出して下さいました。元々ラニカイビーチに行く予定だった為、とても助かりました。けれど、日本と違い自転車のブレーキがなくペダルを用いてのブレーキだったので初めは怖かったです。
他の点としてツアーの中に、ゴザやシュノーケリングも含まれていたので不便な点はありませんでした。

Turtle watching in the beautiful sea. 綺麗な海にウミガメウォッチ

Reviewed by: ナチ公爵

If you come to Hawaii, you definitely want to visit a sandbar at least once! February can be quite chilly, so I signed up for an afternoon plan. On the day of the trip, I enjoyed the grandeur of being in the middle of the vast ocean with the water at about shin height. In the latter half, we went turtle watching. The BBQ lunch had a generous portion. The sea turtles came close, attracted by the food. They allocated enough time for us, so we were able to relax and enjoy ourselves.

ハワイに来たら一度はサンドバーに行きたい！
さすがに2月は寒いので午後からのプランに申し込む。
当日は脛ぐらいの位置の海面で広大な海のど真ん中で雄大さを楽しむ。
後半はウミガメウォッチ。
昼食のBBQは十分なボリューム。
餌目当てにウミガメが近寄ってきます。

Don't expect too much from the snorkeling! シュノーケルは期待しないで！

Reviewed by: しゃーしゃん

Our initial plan was to do some snorkeling, but at Kailua Beach, the wind was strong, the waves were rough, and the water was murky with sand, so we gave up on snorkeling. Plus, it was very cold! We changed our plans and rented bicycles for $10, allowing us to head into town and enjoy the local atmosphere, which was different from Waikiki, while cycling. We rode our bikes all the way to Lanikai Beach and were amazed by the beautiful scenery. The famous Bob's Pizza was incredibly delicious.

Since you can organize your free time as you wish, I think those who want to spend their time freely will really enjoy it. We had a great time.

There are also a few Japanese staff members, which is reassuring. They provide lockers with passcodes, so you can store your valuables. We received kind assistance from a staff member named Emiko. Thank you!

Unfortunately, the sandbar had water levels around my thighs. Because it was cloudy, the water wasn't the beautiful blue color I had hoped for. Sadly, I also didn't see any sea turtles. This tour relies heavily on nature, so there's a strong element of luck involved. I think first-time visitors to Hawaii might enjoy other activities more. If the weather had been good, I believe it would have been an amazing tour!

We were blessed with good weather! 天候に恵まれました！

Reviewed by: どんすけ

We visited Hawaii for our honeymoon and participated as a couple. We chose the timing that matched the lowest tide during our stay, but the water level was still a bit higher than our ankles. It was unfortunate that it wasn't a day when the sandbar fully appeared, but it was great that we were able to visit during a clear time after it had rained in the morning.

The day's flow was as follows:
- Picked up from the hotel
- Moved by boat (we had malasadas, and the view of Kualoa Ranch was beautiful)
- After docking, walked to the sandbar (the water level was about waist-high at first; wearing reef shoes is reassuring)
- Photo time at the sandbar (group photos were taken, and individual photos are also available for a fee)
- Returned to the boat for a meal (delicious, with seconds available, and the coffee was great!)
- Snorkeling (some groups had their meals afterward; there were plenty of fish, but the visibility was just okay. We could borrow wetsuits for free)
- Remaining time for marine activities (though it was brief, we could do stand-up paddleboarding)
- Returned to the port (a rainbow appeared)
- Transferred back to the hotel by bus.

Since there were mostly Japanese tourists and the guide spoke Japanese, we were able to relax and enjoy our time. Thank you very much.

新婚旅行でハワイに訪れ、夫婦で参加しました。
日時は事前に滞在する期間で一番、干潮のタイミングが合うときを選びましたが、それでも足首よりも少し高い位置の水位でした。完全にサンドバーが現れる干潮の日ではなく残念でしたが、午前中は雨が降っていたので運よく晴れた時間帯に訪れることができてよかったです。
一日の流れは、ホテルにお迎え
⇒船で移動（マラサダ食べる、クアロアランチがきれいにみえた）
⇒停泊後、船を下りてサンドバーまで歩く（最初は腰くらいの水位、リーフシューズがあると安心）
⇒サンドバーで記念撮影タイム（全体で記念撮影、個人写真もとってくれますが有料）
⇒船に戻って食事（おいしい、おかわりもできるし、コーヒーもおいしかった！）
⇒シュノーケリング（食事があとのグループもありました、魚はたくさんいましたが透明度はままあです。ウェットスーツを無料で借りれました）
⇒残り時間はマリンアクティビティ（ほんとちょっとでしたが、スタンドアップパドルもできました）
⇒港に帰る（虹が出た）⇒バスでホテルまで送迎、でした。
日本人観光客ばかりだったのと、ガイドさんが日本語OKなので安心して過ごすことができました。ありがとうございました。

I checked the low tide days as much as possible and made a reservation. Even in the shallowest areas, the water level reached about my calves.

I rented a GoPro from Japan in advance to participate, and I was able to take really good photos and videos, so I recommend preparing a waterproof camera. I remember that it was quite expensive to rent one on-site for this tour.

The staff were cheerful, fun, and kind, and they took a lot of photos for us.

Breakfast was a buffet, and I didn't have high expectations, but it was delicious.

I joined this tour because I wanted to see sea turtles, but unfortunately, when the boat left the sandbar and returned, I could only see a little bit of a shell from a distance... It was really disappointing... Other than that, it was a very enjoyable and satisfying tour. I want to try again someday!

なるべく引き潮の日を調べて予約しました。
一番浅いところでもふくらはぎくらいまで水位がありました。

予め、日本からGOPROをレンタルして参加しましたがとても良い写真と動画を撮ることができましたので、防水カメラを用意することをおすすめします。

スタッフの方々も明るく楽しく親切な方々で、写真もたくさん撮ってくれました。

朝食はバイキング形式で、あまり期待をしていなかったのですが美味しかったです。

ウミガメを見たかったのでこのツアーに参加したのですが、残念ながら今回は船がサンドバーを離れて戻る時に、遠くからほんの少し甲羅が見れたくらいでした…本当に残念です…

Overall, it was cloudy, but it was great that it was sunny during the dolphin watching by boat and at the water play area.

The weather had not been good for about a week, and there was a possibility that we might not see any dolphins, but we were able to see a pod of about 20 dolphins and a sea turtle, which was amazing.
*Some people were feeling nauseous, so I think it would be a good idea to take motion sickness medication with you or bring some along.

全体的に曇りでしたが、ボートで向かうイルカウォッチング、水上遊び場所では晴れていて良かったです。

Second visit to the sandbar. 2回目のサンドバー

Reviewed by: Haru

I think many people hesitate to choose this option because it is relatively expensive compared to other tour companies, but I went with Captain Bruce again, just like last time.
- The buses and boats for pickup are new and clean.
- The staff are all very kind.
- They are apparently the only company that can take you right up to the sandbar by boat.
It was unfortunate that the weather was a bit cloudy (the photos don't come out well unless it's sunny), but I was very satisfied to be able to swim with sea turtles. My 5-year-old and 9-year-old children also had a lot of fun with the cheerful staff.
I haven't experienced other tour companies, but if I go to the sandbar again, I think I will use Captain Bruce next time as well. It seems that the sandbar is more visible in the afternoon.

他催行会社に比べて割高なため選択に迷う方が多いと思いますが、私は前回同様にキャプテン・ブルースで行ってきました。
・ピックアップ用のバスや船が新しく清潔
・スタッフの方が皆とても親切
・サンドバーの目の前まで船で入れる唯一の業者（らしい）
天候が曇り気味だったのは残念でしたが（写真は晴れないと綺麗に撮れません）、ウミガメと泳ぐこともできて大変満足です。5歳・9歳の子供も明るいスタッフさん達に沢山構って頂き、とても楽しそうでした。
他の催行会社さんを経験したことが無いのですが、またサンドバーに行くとしたら次回もキャプテン・ブルースを利用すると思います。砂浜が出やすいのは午後らしいですよ。

Reviewed by: なるママ

Three women participated. Luckily, we were able to see two sea turtles, which was very exciting! Wearing wetsuits was definitely the right choice as it protected us from the cold and the coral. In fact, one of us was a beginner who couldn't swim and was experiencing the ocean for the first time. She was really scared when it came to putting her face in the water, getting water in her ears, and not being able to breathe through her nose. At one point, she even cramped up and we worried she might have to give up. However, thanks to the kind support of our instructor Chieko, she managed to complete the one-hour snorkeling session. We are very grateful for all the help. She was really happy to have had a great experience. So, even those who can't swim can participate with peace of mind, and there's no doubt that you'll feel glad you joined!

女3人で参加。ラッキーな事に2匹のホヌに会うことができてとっても興奮しましたウェットスーツ着用により、寒さやサンゴから身を守ることができたのでお借りして正解でした(^^)/ 実は今回、泳げない＆海水浴初体験者がひとりいて、本人は顔をつけることや耳に水が入ること、鼻から呼吸ができないことから、浸水時にとっても怖がり、また、途中、足がつったり…と一時はリタイヤか⁈と心配しましが、インストラクターChiekoさんの親切なサポートにより、初体験の彼女も何とか1時間のシュノーケリング を終えることができました。大変お世話になりありがとうございました。本人も、良い体験が出来たことをとても喜んでおりました。ですので、泳げない方も安心して参加できますし、参加して良かった！と思えること間違いなしです。

There were five of us in total, including ourselves. The guide was really kind and entertaining! It was my first time snorkeling, and without the guide, I would have had no idea how to swim while putting on the gear. During the experience, we were able to see sea turtles twice, and we even got some photos taken. They asked if we needed wetsuits (for $10) when we participated. The guide strongly recommended it, so we decided to get one, and I truly believe I would have been cold and caught a cold without it. While it would be fine for just playing in the water at the beach, they mentioned it was necessary since we would be swimming for over an hour, and I am really grateful for that.

If I have friends going to Hawaii, I would definitely recommend this tour!

I participated in an early morning tour. On the bus ride there, the instructions were explained very clearly and cheerfully, and they taught us pressure points for motion sickness, which made the journey enjoyable. I tend to get motion sickness easily, so even with the pressure points and medication, I still felt sick. However, I was lucky that day to see both dolphins and sea turtles! Although we were told not to chase the dolphins, they actually approached us, and we had to move aside (laughs). Even when the dolphins were out of sight, I could hear their calls when I put my ears to the water, which felt quite mysterious. The sea turtles were far away, but I was still moved to see them. I couldn't eat the hamburger at the time because I was feeling sick, but it was delicious when I had it after returning home. I didn't bring much money, so I was disappointed that I couldn't order the photo data. Overall, it was a satisfying experience, and if I have the chance, I would like to participate again while enduring the motion sickness.

It was fun. 楽しかったです

Reviewed by: ばっつん

I participated in a tour on the morning of January 22.

The flow of the tour is simply as follows:
1. Sandbar walk
We got off the boat at a spot where the water was waist-deep and walked. During this season, it can be cold if the sun isn't shining, and the sea doesn't look very beautiful when it's cloudy.
2. Light meal
A buffet on the boat with bread, salad, and fruits. The taste was average.
3. Snorkeling
After a lecture on how to wear the mask, how to breathe, and precautions about the coral, we swam for about 20 minutes. We saw beautiful fish and coral, but there were no turtles.
4. Free time
Time to play freely using bodyboards and floaties. However, it was cold, and many people went back up to the boat. Those who didn't participate in snorkeling were taken on a cruise during this time.

Overall assessment:
- The staff's response was top-notch.
- When it's cloudy, the sea is not beautiful at all and it's cold.

Considering the price, tips, and the season, it felt about right.

1/22の朝からのツアーに参加してきました。

ツアーの流れは、簡単には以下の通り。
①サンドバーウォーク
腰の高さの位置までの場所で船から降り、歩く。この時期だと陽が当たらないと寒く、曇りだと対して海が綺麗に見えない。
②軽食
船の上でパン、サラダ、フルーツなどのブッフェ。味は普通。
③シュノーケル
マスクの付け方、呼吸の仕方、サンゴの注意点などのレクチャーの後、20分程度平泳ぎ。綺麗な魚とサンゴが見れました。亀はいませんでした。
④フリータイム
ボディーボード、浮き輪などを使って自由に遊ぶ時間。ただ、寒くて船の上に上がる人が多い。シュノーケルに参加してない人は、ここでクルーズに連れて行ってもらえた。

総評
・スタッフの対応は最高レベル
・曇りだと、海が全然綺麗じゃない&寒い

価格とチップ、時期を考えると、こんなもんかなぁという感じでした。

Once you get used to it the beauty you find in the clear waters are amazing. After this outing everything was stress free for me. All I can say is if you can swim you had not miss this.

It was a tour where I could feel nature. 自然を感じられるツアーでした

On the morning of the day I had a reservation, I received a message from the staff at VELTRA saying, "The waves are too high today, and the tour cannot proceed..." They explained the refund and rescheduling process, and I was able to reschedule for the next day. Their response was very professional, and I had no worries at all. I was a bit anxious the next day, but since I didn’t receive a call, I thought everything was fine and headed to the pickup location. However, it turned out to be the day of an annual parade, and the roads were heavily congested. After waiting for the bus for an hour... (I wondered if this could have been anticipated since it happens every year, but all the other tours and buses heading to the airport were also delayed, so I thought it might just be something you have to accept in Hawaii with a big heart, haha). It seemed that the street where we were supposed to be picked up was particularly congested, so the bus stopped on a larger road, and two staff members (one of whom was Japanese) ran to greet us. A large, beautiful bus came to pick us up. Once on the bus, they began with an apology for the delay, introduced the staff, and explained the schedule and important notes in English followed by Japanese. There was also information about purchasing a USB for photos and videos taken on the trip, as well as renting wetsuits. Those who purchased the photo/video package on the way to the destination received a wristband as a gift (one for each participant) and a $5 discount. It seems that if you stay close to the photographer, you might get more photos taken. Upon arriving at the harbor, we used the restroom and borrowed fins and goggles. (We also tried on the wetsuits we rented on the bus here.) Once we found the right size, we boarded the boat. After boarding, we set off to look for dolphins, and during that time, there was another explanation, and we sang a Hawaiian song to show respect for the ocean and its creatures while offering flowers. The cheerful Hawaiian staff jumped into the sea as soon as we reached the dolphin spot and swam to the location of the dolphins. Unfortunately, we didn’t encounter any turtles or whales, but we did meet dolphins, which was an emotional experience that allowed us to feel connected to nature. After that, we moved to another location where we had free time to enjoy snorkeling and kayaking. On the way back to the harbor, we enjoyed taro cheese burgers, bite-sized pineapple, and a small bag of chips each. The staff also performed hula dancing, and everyone participated in dancing together. It was a fun time throughout, and my whole family was very satisfied. Since we purchased the USB, we went to pick it up at an office near DFS in Waikiki that evening, and the Japanese man at the office was very friendly and approachable. You can also receive an eco-bag at this office. I definitely want to participate again the next time I go to Hawaii. If you have children, I think the 11 AM departure plan would be better to avoid putting too much strain on them. Even if you usually don’t get motion sickness, I think it’s wise to take motion sickness medication as a precaution.

予約をしていた日の朝、ＶＥＬＴＲＡさんのスタッフの方から「本日は波が高く催行不可能となりました…」と連絡があり、返金・振り替えなどの説明があり、翌日へ振り替えてもらいました。もちろんきちんとした対応で、何の心配もありませんでした。次の日も心配でしたが、電話が来なかったので大丈夫なんだなと思いピックアップ場所へ。しかしその日は年に一度のパレードの日だったらしく道路は大渋滞。バスを待つこと1時間…。（毎年の事なので事前に予測できないのかな？とは思いましたが、他のツアーも、空港へ向かう予約のバスもどれもこれも全てが遅れていたのでハワイでは仕方がないのかな？と思う大きな心が必要です（笑））我が家のピックアップ場所の通りが特に渋滞していたようなので大きい道路にバスを停めスタッフの方が2人（1人は日本人）で走って迎えに来てくれました。大きい素敵なバスがお迎えに来てくれていました。バスに乗るとまず、遅れたお詫びから始まりスタッフの紹介、今日のスケジュールや注意事項などを英語に続き日本語で説明してくれます。バスの中で写真や動画を収めたＵＳＢの購入、ウエットスーツのレンタルなどについても説明があります。行きのバスで写真・動画のセットを購入した人はリストバンドのプレゼント（参加人数分）、5㌦の割引がありました。カメラマンの方の近くにいると多めに撮ってもらえるような気がします。ハーバーに着くと、トイレを済ませフィン・ゴーグルを借ります。（バスの中でレンタルしたウエットスーツもここで試着してみます）サイズを合わせて、ＯＫであれば船に乗り込みます。乗船後、イルカを探しに行きますがその間、再度説明があり、海や生き物に敬意を表すためのハワイの歌を歌って花を捧げます。陽気なハワイアンのスタッフ、イルカのポイントに着いたらすぐに海へ飛び込みイルカの場所まで泳いでいきます。残念ながらかめ、くじらには会えませんでしたが、イルカに出会え自然を感じられ感動でした。そのあとは別の場所へ移動し、シュノーケリングやカヤックなどで遊ぶ自由時間があります。ハーバーまで帰港する際にタロイモのチーズバーガー、パイナップル1口サイズを1つ小袋のチップスを一人一袋食べながら帰っていきます。スタッフがフラダンスも踊ってくれ、参加者皆で踊ったりもします。終始楽しい時間で家族みんな大満足です。我が家はUSBを購入したので、その日の夕方ワイキキのDFS近くにあるオフィスへ取りに行きオフィスにいた日本人の男性もとても気さくで感じのいいかたでした。エコバックはこのオフィスでもらえます。次回ハワイへ行った際には是非また参加したいです。お子さんがいらっしゃる場合は、11時出航プランにした方が子供の負担にならないと思います。普段酔わなくても酔い止めは予防として飲むべきだと思います。
