I haven't received any updates regarding the photos taken underwater. Aside from that… the instructor was kind and pleasant, and the fish that came close were incredibly moving, almost like the images I had in mind.
You can experience the same level of excitement while scuba diving, but since my wife can't swim, the underwater scooter was a lifesaver.
[Additional note] I posted this, but after the VELTRA help desk contacted the organizing company, I was able to obtain the photos, so I changed my rating to the highest.

The shuttle bus driver was also very good at Japanese and introduced us to many gourmet spots. The staff were all unique and kind. The ocean was, of course, beautiful, and the food was delicious. I also participated in a stroll around Kailua Town. I rented a bicycle and went to the beach. The bicycles were suitable for elementary school students and the distance was manageable, allowing us to reach Kailua Beach as well.

this was such a fun excursion! I really loved the sandbar experience. It was absolutely beautiful and I would definitely do this tour again with my family. We were able to take our 10 month old and she enjoyed it. We also brought her infant floatie and let her swim at the sandbar. The staff were so friendly and provided great customer service. We originally kept trying to book this tour but saw no availability until I checked the day before leaving for Hawaii and I was so happy we got confirmed to do the tour.

Angel's Sea is a stunning spot that looks great in photos, and on top of that, you can experience snorkeling, making it a very satisfying plan. Although lunch is included, it's just a small sandwich, so you might find yourself quite hungry after returning from the tour.
天使の海は、写真映えする絶景スポットで、それに加えてシュノーケリングも体験できて、満足度がとても高いプランでした。お昼が付くとありますがちょっとしたサンドイッチが出してもらえるだけなので、ツアーから戻ってからお腹がますがすいてしまうかもしれません。

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 participated with my first-grade daughter and my family of three. Since it was my daughter's first time snorkeling, I was a bit anxious, but I felt reassured seeing a wide range of ages participating, from young to old.
We practiced snorkeling at a shallow sandbar, and during the actual event, the location was deep enough to make even the parents anxious. However, we were not rushed and were able to enjoy snorkeling at our own pace. It seems that my daughter's first snorkeling experience became a fun memory, as she wrote about it in her summer vacation diary.
On the boat, Yukiko provided humorous explanations in Japanese, which made it enjoyable. Thank you for taking so many great photos at the sandbar!
P.S. The suspicious-looking old man who came to greet the bus at the dock seemed to be in charge of singing and narration? His deep voice added to the atmosphere of the tour. All the other staff were also kind, which was great.
小学1年の娘と家族3人で参加しました。娘がシュノーケリングは初めてだったので不安でしたが、老若男女の幅広い世代が参加していて安心しました。
浅いサンドバーで、シュノーケリングの練習をして、本番では親も不安になる程深い場所でしたが、急かされることもなく、自分たちのペースでシュノーケリングを楽しめました。娘も初めてのシュノーケリングが楽しい思い出になったようで、夏休みの宿題の絵日記に書いていました。
ボート内ではゆきこさんが日本語でユーモアたっぷりの説明をしてくれて楽しかったです。またサンドバーでも映える写真をたくさん撮ってくださりありがとうございました!
P.S. 船着場でバスを出迎えに来る怪しげな風貌の老人は、歌・ナレーション要因? 渋い声でツアーの雰囲気を盛り上げます。他のスタッフも皆親切で良かったです。

We had a blast with the tour on the Waikiki water with two kids. The location we visited had little crowds so we can have all the ocean to ourselves! Both of my kids were the first time snorkeling. Their friendly staff made sure their live vests are secured and helped them into the water. There were a lot of beautiful fishes o look at. Did not see turtles, but that's OK since we would be visiting the Turtle beach at the north shore later. Overall, we are very satisfied with the activities and services they provide.

There were few dolphins. Even when I could see them, they were quite deep down (or far away), and I was busy chasing after the dolphins that kept getting further away. I had imagined a scene where I could swim relaxed in parallel among a large group of dolphins. I was disappointed because there were no corals and the visibility wasn't that great. However, the staff's response was wonderful.

The boat was rocking a lot. Even I, who have never experienced seasickness before, felt nauseous, and my family vomited. The people sitting around us were also vomiting.
As soon as we got on the boat, the staff explained that if someone felt like they were going to vomit, they could use a bucket, which was available at their feet. It seems that vomiting is an expectation for the staff as well. People were continuously vomiting, and the staff efficiently handled the mess.
Additionally, there is a restroom on the boat, but it was clogged with other people's waste. Even though I needed to use the restroom, I felt sick looking at the toilet filled with others' waste and held it in.
Finally, we had cheeseburgers on the boat, but the patties were very tough and unappetizing; it was something you couldn't eat unless you were extremely hungry. After returning to the hotel in the afternoon, I continued to feel nauseous, and I spent the next day feeling unwell as well.
船が凄く揺れます。今まで船酔いしたことのない私も酔って気持ち悪かったですし、家族は嘔吐しました。周囲に座っていた人達も嘔吐していました。
船に乗ってすぐにスタッフの方が嘔吐しそうな時はバケツを持っていくとか、バケツは足元にあるとか説明していました。スタッフからしても嘔吐するのは前提なのでしょうね。皆さん次から次へと嘔吐していて、スタッフが手際よく嘔吐物の処理をしていました。
また、船にはトイレがありますけど、トイレは流れずに他人の大便が溜まっている状態でした。私は大便をしたくても他人の大便が多数溜まっている便器を見て気持ち悪くて我慢しました。
最後に、船の上でチーズバーガーを食べるのですけど、このハンバーグがとても固くてまずくて、よほど飢えていないと食べられるような物ではありませんでした。
お昼過ぎにホテルに戻ってからもずっと気持ち悪い状態が続き、翌日も体調が悪いまま過ごしました。

I participated with my 9-year-old child. Since I'm not good at snorkeling, I tried to lead my child to the guide, but it was really difficult and I got exhausted. In the end, during the first round, we only saw one dolphin far below, and during the second round, we didn't see anything at all. As for the sea turtles, I couldn't catch up with everyone, so we ended up not seeing a single one. This tour is not suitable for those who are not good at swimming. I would like to try again once my child becomes a better swimmer.

I participated for the first time with my daughter in third grade, my son in second year of junior high, my 79-year-old father, my 74-year-old mother, and myself, a total of five people. I was worried about my mother, who has trouble walking, but we were able to enjoy the sandbar without any issues. My mother watched the snorkeling from the boat, but there were others who were also observing the snorkeling, and the atmosphere allowed everyone to participate freely according to their own condition, which was great.
The day before, a hurricane was approaching, and I was concerned about the weather, but during the tour until around 2:30 PM, we were able to enjoy the blue sky and the emerald green sea!
The female leader of the tour was excellent; her explanations were enjoyable, bright, and efficient, and the other staff members were very kind, making it a highly favorable tour. My son was impressed by the surprisingly delicious hamburgers.
We even encountered a sea turtle during the boat ride, and while snorkeling at the coral reef, we found a large sea turtle sleeping in a cave-like area, which made my daughter very happy.
It was also helpful that the bus departed from near the hotel. I had prepared marine shoes, but it turned out I didn't need to wear them. According to the staff, sometimes small sand can get in and actually be painful, so I think it's fine to prepare them and choose whether to wear them on-site.
It was a very enjoyable tour, and I'm glad we went.
小3の娘、中2の息子、79歳の父、74歳の母と私の5人で初参加しました。足の悪い母が心配でしたが、サンドバーは問題なく楽しめました。母はシュノーケリングは船から見ていましたが、ほかにもシュノーケリングを見学している人もいて、自分の状態で自由に参加できる雰囲気がよかったです。
前日からハリケーンが近づいていて、天気が心配でしたが、午後2時半ごろまでのツアー中は持ち、青い空、エメラルドグリーンの海を楽しめました!
女性の責任者の方のしきりがとても良く、説明も楽しく、明るく手際よく、ほかのスタッフの方々もとても親切で、好感度の高いツアーでした。
息子は、思った以上にちゃんとした美味しいハンバーガーに感動していました。
船の移動中にウミガメにも会えて、サンゴ礁でのシュノーケリングでは、洞窟のような中で眠る大きなウミガメも見つけ、娘も大喜びでした。
ホテルの近くからのバスの発車も助かりました。
マリンシューズを用意してましたが、履かなくて大丈夫でした。スタッフの方によると、小さな砂が入り込んでかえって痛いこともある、とのことでした。準備しておいて現場で履く履かないは選ぶ、でいいかと思います。

When we arrived at the port and got off the shuttle bus, a veteran staff member, who apparently was in charge of middle school groups, abruptly announced that he would be switching places with the guide in charge of university groups. This surprised guide B, who was in charge of the university group. This staff member, although Japanese, has been in Hawaii for so long that he seems to have lost touch with the sensibilities of Japanese travelers, making him come off as annoying to those visiting from Japan.
Because of the sudden change in responsibility, the questions we had from the bus were not passed on, and despite having communicated that we were not confident swimmers, we were left unattended. It was mentioned that there would be souvenirs, but neither adults nor children received anything. We opted for the package that included snorkeling, SUP, and canoeing, but it only lasted about 20 minutes. At this rate, we might as well have gone with the middle school option. The difference in price was wasted.
We did see dolphins, but that was just due to good timing and not because of this company. Next time, I will choose a different tour company.
港に着いて送迎バスを降りたらいきなり中学担当だったらしいベテランスタッフAが、大学担当のガイドと入れ替わると言い放った。

Loved going snorkeling with Trident Adventures! We ended up doing a last minute upgrade from the snorkel package to the PADI Skindiver Program and it was so worth it. The main thing the upgrade got for us was the use of one of their DPVs, which is an Diver Propulsion Vehicle. Its basically an underwater scooter that you hold on to and cruise around. It was a little awkward at first, but with some tips and pointers from the instructor I was able to get the hang of it and had so much fun cruising around the reef! Apparently these things are very expensive, so it's very unique for a dive shop to have them available to non-SCUBA divers.

We participated as a family of four with two children in the upper grades of elementary school. The forecast was cloudy, but it was mostly sunny with calm waves. After gathering by bus from each hotel, we boarded the boat at the port, splitting into a Japanese-speaking guide's boat and an English-speaking (foreign) boat. The explanations were clear, and the guide was lively and fun. At the sandbar, they were knowledgeable about taking photos, providing advice on angles and poses, and we got to take many shots! We saw plenty of sea turtles as well. The snorkeling was a bit murky, possibly due to the tide being high, but we could still see fish. On the way back, we could ride the bus even in wet swimsuits if we had a towel, but it was cold inside the bus, so I wish I had brought dry clothes. The lunch was also quite delicious! The sandbar was beautiful, and we were very satisfied!

We woke up at 5 AM and participated as a family of three. After about an hour's ride on the bus, we moved to the point where the dolphins are located by boat. To see the dolphins, we had to follow the instructor's directions and move back and forth from the shore to the open sea multiple times, which was suddenly tiring. It felt like a physical education class.
The sea was beautiful, and we saw many dolphins, so it was enjoyable, but my wife got seasick and was exhausted in the second half. If you're okay with boats and the sea, I think it's an activity you can enjoy thoroughly.

バスで一時間ぐらい走ってから、船でイルカのいるポイントまで移動。イルカを見るにはインストラクターの指示にしたがって、岸へ沖へ、何度も移動せねばならず、いきなり疲れます。体育の授業とのこと。
海はきれいでイルカもたくさん見れたので楽しかったのですが、妻は船酔いしてしまい、後半はぐったりしてました。
船や海が平気なら十分楽しめるアクティビティだとおもいます。

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。
Aloha! This is Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour. Thank you very much for participating this time. We regret that we couldn't show you the beautiful ocean you were expecting, as the water was murkier than usual after the heavy rain. However, we are glad to hear that you enjoyed the activities and lunch. We look forward to welcoming you back for a revenge tour on a sunny day!

Last year, my husband and I participated in the Manoa Falls tour, but this time we joined with our three grandchildren (ages 5, 7, and 10) and our daughter, making a total of six of us.
The sandbar was a bit deep for the grandchildren, but it was perfect for practicing snorkeling later on.
The barbecue on the boat was also very delicious, and we were extremely satisfied.
We were able to see some turtles (though it was a bit disappointing that there weren't many), and the staff were very kind, allowing us to have a fun day.
昨年は夫婦二人でマノアの滝ツアーに参加しましたが、今回は孫3人(5歳、7歳、10歳)と娘、我々夫婦6人で参加しました。
サンドバーは孫達にはちょっと深かったですが、後で行うシュノーケリングの練習を行うには最適でした。
船上でのバーベキューも大変美味しく、大満足でした。
カメも見られ(ちょっと少なかったのが残念でしたが)、スタッフの方々も大変親切で楽しい一日を過ごせました。

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.
本当にウミガメと泳げて感動しました〜!!!
今までいくつかのツアーに参加して、イルカやウミガメと泳げるかもしれません!!などといったツアーに参加してきましたが、いつも見られず、ガッカリでしたが、今回のツアーは本当に凄かったです!
近くにウミガメが来て一緒に泳げたり、寝てるウミガメに出会えたりで次回もまた参加したいと思いました。
お食事も良かったし、ガイドさんたちがみんな優しくて面白くて、日本語もバッチリ通じるので家がが不安な人には更に最高だと思います。
Aloha! This is Captain Bruce's Heavenly Sea Tour. Thank you very much for participating this time. The turtles come to play on the tour so often that you might think they are part of the staff, as they always entertain our guests and are our important companions. Since they are wild, only the turtles know when you might encounter them... However, I’m glad to hear that you were able to swim with the turtles, Rinka! We all sincerely look forward to your next visit.
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。 カメさん達はツアーの従業員か!!?と思うほど、いつもいつもお客様を楽しませるためにツアーに遊びに来てくれるので、我々の大事な仲間です。野生なのでどのタイミングで会えるかはカメのみぞ知る、、、なのですが、りんか様がカメさんと一緒に泳げたとのこと、良かったです!!またのお越しをスタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げております。

We participated as a family of seven.
It was incredibly moving to see dolphins up close! There was someone in the tour group who couldn't see the dolphins, so they kept searching until that person could see them, and in the end, everyone was able to see the dolphins.
We also got to see sea turtles up close, which was another amazing experience.
The guide and crew made various efforts to entertain the participants, and I think it was a very satisfying tour.
However, the meals were really just light snacks, so if you eat a lot, you might prefer a tour that includes more substantial meals.
By the way, babies can also join the tour, but be careful as it can get quite bumpy on the way to the points, and you might get splashed with seawater.
Overall, I am very satisfied.
家族7名で参加しました。
イルカをすごく間近に見ることができ、とても感動しました!ツアー参加者の中でイルカを見れなかった人がいたので、その人が見れるまでイルカを探してくれて、最終的には全員がイルカを見ることができました。
ウミガメも間近で見ることができ、これもすごくいい体験でした。
ガイドの方もクルーの方々も、参加者を楽しませようと色々工夫をしてくださっていて、とても満足のいくツアーだったと思います。
ただ、食事が本当に軽食のみなので、たくさん食べる方は食事がたくさんついているツアーの方がいいかもしれません。
ちなみに赤ちゃんも一緒に見学で参加できますが、ポイントに向かう途中結構揺れて海水もかかるので、要注意です。
総合的には非常に満足です。
ALOHA! Miki,
Thank you for participating in the Dolphin Middle School program. Every day brings a different encounter with nature's creatures. It's very lucky that everyone got to see them!!
Please join us again when you come back to Hawaii. All of our staff are looking forward to it.

We participated as a family. The staff was kind, and the sea was beautiful. It was a bit disappointing that the sandbar wasn't visible, but seeing the sea turtles up close made for a fun memory.
