It was amazing to see the sea turtles. The BBQ lunch was also delicious.
There are morning and afternoon sessions, but I checked the tides in advance and chose the morning.
ウミガメにも会えて最高でした。BBQランチもおいしかったですよ。
午前と午後がありますが、前もって潮を調べて午前にしました。

Due to the tides and weather, the children were constantly floating, making it far from possible to walk on the sandy beach, which was disappointing. The tour program and the atmosphere with the attendants were good.
潮と天候の影響か、子供は常に浮いてる状態で、砂浜を歩くにはほど遠くて残念でした。

The scenery was amazing, but at this time of year, there are jellyfish, and about 5 or 6 people got stung. Of course, even on the bus during the transfer, I think it's important to inform people about the dangers more than before, as it can be dangerous! Children got stung more than adults, which is scary!
景色は最高でしたが、今の時期はクラゲがいて、5.,.6人ほど刺されました。
移動のバスの中も勿論のことツアー案内から、やはり危険は、以前より知らせないと、危ないと思いますよ!大人以上に子供も刺されましたが、怖いですよねー!

The morning was early, but I had a wonderful experience!! The sunrise was from the ocean. The water level was unexpectedly up to my waist, but personally, it didn't bother me at all. I was very satisfied with the service from the captain and crew. It was a great experience. I will use this service again!!

I have seen sea turtles several times before, but this time I was able to get so close that it felt like I was about to bump into one, and it was very exciting.
It was quite rare for Waikiki, which is usually full of Japanese people, to have no other Japanese participants or staff besides my family, and that atmosphere felt very refreshing.
これまでも何度か海ガメを見たことはありますが、今回はぶつかりそうなくらいに近くまで接近することが出来て、とてもエキサイティングでした。
日本人だらけのワイキキにしては珍しく、我家以外に日本人の参加者やスタッフがおらず、その雰囲気がとても新鮮でした。

I had heard that there were few Japanese people on this experience, and there were none besides us during our time. All the announcements were in English, so there were many moments when my husband and I, with our limited English skills, didn't quite understand what was being said. However, as long as you go with the flow of those around you, you'll be fine. They also respond casually to questions, even if you ask in broken English.
Before departure, they showed us a board written in Japanese that included information about drinks, safety on the boat, and tips.
For those with experience, it was okay to take off the life jackets, so we dove in without wearing them (they are mandatory in emergencies and are provided to everyone). They also lent fins for free to everyone. Life jackets and masks were distributed on the boat, and just before entering the water, they applied anti-fog solution to the masks and handed us the fins. However, the fins were a bit large since the sizes were quite general.
The depth of the sea was probably around 10 to 15 meters, and we got to see sea turtles! (There were several of them.) The fish we saw were black and a bit striped, so I wouldn't expect a colorful variety.
When we came up once, there were already people on the boat drinking alcohol. When we tried to go back into the sea, they kindly informed us that we had about five minutes left, saying, "This is the last chance!" (of course, in English).
At the end, there were people enjoying jumping off the boat. It was heartwarming to see everyone cheering and laughing as the kids jumped in.
I thought we would head back right away, but instead, we sailed further before returning, enjoying nearly an hour of sailing. It was quite rocky, so I would recommend taking motion sickness medication. The foreigners seemed to have a strong image, but some were looking quite exhausted. Of course, there were also some strong ones who were drinking heavily!
The payment for drinks was on a self-report basis after returning to the sandy beach. At that time, we put tips in a box, and the captain rang a bell and expressed his gratitude.
There were many small children, so it seems like families can enjoy this as well. The boat also had a restroom.
こちらの体験談で、日本人が少ないと聞いていましたが、私たちの時も日本人は他にいませんでした。
案内も全て英語でしたので、英語力の乏しい私たち夫婦には途中のアナウンスがよく分からない場面も多々ありました笑
でも周りの人たちに合わせていれば大丈夫です。また、拙い英語で質問しても気軽に答えてくれます。
出発前には日本語で書かれたボードを1枚見せてくれました。(飲み物や船上での注意、チップについてなどが書かれていました)
ライフジャケットは、経験のある人は外してもokでしたので、着用せずに潜りました。(緊急時は必須とのことで、全員に配られます)
またフィンも全員無料で貸してくれました。
船上でライフジャケットとマスクが配られ、海に入る直前に、マスクに曇り止めを付けてもらい、フィンを受け取ってGOです。ただ、フィンはサイズがザックリしているので、少し大きかったです。
海の深さは恐らく10〜15m位の所で、ウミガメにも会えました!(しかも何匹もいました)魚は、黒い魚と少しシマシマ模様の魚、という感じです。カラフルな感じは期待できないかと。
途中一度上がると、船では既にお酒を飲んでいる人たちも。再度海に入ろうとすると、丁寧にあと5分くらいで終わりだからラストね!と声をかけてくれました(もちろん英語ですが)
最後は、船からの飛び込みを楽しむ人たちも。子どもが飛び込むのをみんなで、笑いながら応援していて微笑ましかったです。
そのあとすぐ帰るのかと思いきや、もっと奥まで船を進めてから戻るコースで、1時間近くセーリングを楽しめました。結構波に揺られるので、酔い止めは必須かと。外国人の方は勝手に強いイメージでしたが、何人かグッタリしていました。もちろん、がんがんお酒を飲みまくる強者も笑
飲み物の精算は、砂浜に帰ってから船上で申告制でした。その時にboxの中へチップを。入れると船長がベルを鳴らして感謝の言葉を言ってくれていました。
小さい子どもも沢山いたので、家族連れでも楽しめそうです。船にはトイレも付いていました。

This was my second experience at the sandbar. This time, I went with a different tour company. It's called the Angel Sea Tour, but the person calling out at the meeting point wasn't very good at Japanese, so be sure to remember "Captain Bob Tours" as well!
The sandbar itself has territories depending on the tour company, so it's hard to say, but unfortunately, there was still water up to my knees this time. It's understandable given the weather, season, and lunar phases.
The flow was the same as the previous tour with another company: heading from the port to the sandbar → playing at the sandbar → lunch → snorkeling. There were two buses and two boats. One boat was just for Japanese people, while the other had a mix of Japanese and international guests (laughs). There were about 100 people in total.
The Angel Sea Tour offers:
- BBQ lunch that is incredibly delicious! They grill hamburgers on the boat!
- The tour guide is great at getting everyone excited and entertained.
They provide activities like beach volleyball at the sandbar.
- They don’t do annoying things like taking photos and selling them! (laughs)
- I encountered a giant sea turtle while snorkeling!
So, I highly recommend this tour!
サンドバーは2度目の体験。前回とは違うツアー会社でした。天使の海ツアーとなっていますが、集合場所での呼び出しは日本語があまり得意でない方でしたので、「キャプテンボブツアー」とも是非覚えておきましょう!
サンドバー自体はツアー会社によってのテリトリーがあるので、なんともいえないですが、残念ながら今回も膝下くらいまで水がありました。天候や季節、月の満ち欠けの影響があるので仕方ないですね。
流れは前回の他社のツアーとも同じく、港からサンドバーへ向かう→サンドバーで遊ぶ→ランチ→シュノーケリングの構成でした。
バス2台分、船は2隻。1隻は日本人だけ、もう一隻は半分日本人+多国籍軍でした(笑)全体で100名くらいでしょうか。
天使の海ツアーは、
・BBQランチがめちゃくちゃおいしい!船の上でハンバーグ焼いてます!
・添乗員さんが盛り上げ上手!楽しませてくれます
サンドバーではビーチバレーなど用意してくれています
・写真撮影して販売する・・など、うっとおしいことしません!笑
・シュノーケリングで巨大ウミガメに遭遇!
ということで、おすすめツアーです!

Due to the high waves, most participants, including my family, experienced seasickness, and the Aloha buckets were in high demand everywhere. We couldn't even see the dolphins underwater.
The onboard lunch and marine sports were canceled, and we had to endure three hours on a rocking boat, returning on the bus while eating the Burger King hamburgers that were supposed to be served on the boat.
It's important to be cautious, as depending on the weather and wave conditions, there is a significant risk of disappointment and wasting a lot of money. If the weather had been good, it might have been a much more moving experience.
I felt that they continued the tour even with relatively large waves, possibly because they had the boat and crew secured. It's better not to join too easily just because you want to swim with dolphins.
波の高い中での催行で、私の家族も含め参加者のほとんどは船酔い状態でアロハバケツがあちこちで大活躍するハメに。イルカを水中で見ることも叶わず。
船上ランチやマリンスポーツも中止となり、大揺れの船上で3時間耐える羽目になり、帰りのバスで本来船上で提供されるはずだったバーガーキングのハンバーガーを食べながら帰ることに。
天候や波の状態次第では大きく期待外れ&大金を捨てる可能性があるので注意が必要です。天気さえ良ければ大きな感動があったかも。
船やクルーをおさえているからか、ある程度の大きな波でも中止にはせず催行となるのかと感じました。イルカと泳ぎたいからと安易に参加しないほうがベター。

Thank you for participating in Dolphin University. It seems that the ocean conditions were not favorable. Even in poor conditions, there are times when you can swim slowly with the dolphins, so we trust the captain's judgment and set sail.

I was excited to swim with dolphins in Hawaii for the first time, but at first, the dolphins were jumping around a lot, which raised my expectations. However, when I actually got into the water, the dolphins disappeared, and we moved to the next spot. I managed to see one dolphin, but I was disappointed that I couldn't see the many dolphins I had imagined. The waves were high, and both the boat and the water were rocking, which made me seasick. At first, the sea turtles blended in with the rocks, and I couldn't find them, but I did see about three small ones. The water clarity was a bit murky, and compared to when I went diving in Okinawa, it was somewhat disappointing. However, I appreciated how the crew was bright and worked hard to make the tour enjoyable.
初めてのハワイでイルカと泳げるとわくわくしていましたが、最初はイルカたちがたくさん飛び跳ねていて期待していたのですが、いざ海へ入ってみるとイルカたちがいなくなってしまい、次のポイントへ。なんとか1匹ほどみれましたが、イメージしていたたくさんのイルカをみることができず残念でした。また波が高く船でも海に入ってもゆれて、船酔いしてしまいました。ウミガメも最初、岩と同化していてどこにいるかわからず、小さいかめが3匹ほどみれました。海の透明度もちょっとにごっていて、以前沖縄でダイビングしたときと比べるとちょっと残念でした。ただクルーの方たちが明るく一生懸命ツアーを盛り上げてくれている様子がわかりありがたかったです。

The driver tried to separate our seats, which had two participants. It seemed like they wanted to put their luggage in the front seat? This was our second time, but the lunch was of lower quality compared to last time, and it wasn't BBQ! The biggest disappointment was that we had to snorkel in a line. I think they should advertise it as suitable for beginners. I don't think I'll participate next time.

I was very happy to meet dolphins and, above all, to see the gracefully swimming sea turtles.
It was my first time scuba diving, and on top of seasickness, the tightness of the suit and life jacket was tough to handle.
It would have been easier if I could take it off, but I thought I couldn't go into the water without it, so I got out early, which was disappointing. I wanted to play a little longer, even if it meant getting sick.
The staff were considerate, and it was reassuring to have a good number of people around. The dance was fun!

During the Obon season, there were a lot of people, and there were some unexpected incidents from the start, but we managed to board the boat and set sail.
My husband and I were a bit nervous about getting into the sea after a long time, but the staff were kind and made it fun, so we felt comfortable participating.
There were about 5 to 6 people who felt sick from seasickness, so I think it's better to have a light breakfast and definitely take motion sickness medication.
Masks, snorkels, and fins are provided, so you can participate in your swimsuit and sandals. Marine shoes are not necessary. We wore long-sleeve rash guards and leggings, so we didn't need wetsuits.
The coldest part was when we were on the boat and exposed to the wind, so it's better to have something warm to wear. There were several people shivering.
It was disappointing that we couldn't do activities like stand-up paddleboarding due to the strong wind, but on the plus side, we got to see a lot of dolphins, which was great.
I definitely want to participate again. Thank you very much.

We gathered at 5:50 AM and received explanations about important points during the bus ride to the port. I was really excited to hear that the chance of seeing dolphins was over 90%, and as we got off the bus and headed towards the boat, we encountered a sea turtle right away! I didn't see any dolphins at the first spot, but I was able to see several at the second spot! During snorkeling, I saw many beautiful fish and sea turtles. Not everyone was able to participate in the marine sports, which was one of the main reasons I joined this tour, so I was really disappointed that I couldn't take part. The staff on the boat were all very nice, and I had a really enjoyable day.
If I could suggest two areas for improvement:
The first is regarding the boat's restrooms. Both were broken, and it was cold and uncomfortable to have to hold it in.
The second is that I received an email meant for participants on a different day, which was mistakenly sent to me (it was from another instructor). I pointed this out in an email, but I didn't receive a response, and then I got a second incorrect email. Since it contained a photo of me, I hope they will be more careful with personal information.
朝5:50集合で、港までのバスの中では注意事項などの説明を受けました。
イルカが観れる確率は90%以上ということでとってもワクワクしていると、車を降りて船に向かう道で早速ウミガメに出会いました!
イルカのポイント1つ目では私は見れなかったのですが、2つ目のスポットでイルカを何頭か観れました!
シュノーケリングでは綺麗な魚やウミガメがたくさん観れました。
マリンスポーツは全員ができるわけではありませんでした。こちらのツアーに参加した大きな目的のひとつだったので参加できなくてすごく残念でした。
船のスタッフさん達は全員が良い人でとても楽しい1日を過ごすことができました。
改善してほしい点を2つ挙げると
1つ目は船のお手洗いについてです。2つとも壊れていて、お手洗いを我慢しなきゃいけなかったのが寒くて辛かったです。
2つ目は、後日、別の日の参加者宛のメールが誤送信されてきました。(他のインストラクターからでした。)間違ったのかと思い指摘のメールをしたのですが、そちらには返事が来ず、その後2回目の誤ったメールがきました。顔写真が載っていたので、個人情報の扱いには注意してほしいと思います。

I was really interested in the Angel's Sea experience, so I decided to participate. After checking reviews, magazines, and online information, I learned that the tide is better in the early morning, so I joined the morning session. When I woke up, the weather was clear, and I was excited as I was taken to the boat dock, but the weather started to look a bit suspicious. It didn't seem like it would rain, but there were quite a few clouds. Despite the situation, we boarded the boat and set sail for the spot! The Japanese guide (female) who was with us in the shuttle and on the boat provided very clear explanations and kept everyone entertained with her bright energy.
First, we stopped the boat at a spot where turtles are known to appear for some watching. Although they didn't come right in front of us, we did see quite a few turtles. Everyone was excited and taking photos. Next, we headed to the sandbar. As I mentioned earlier, there were many clouds, so it felt a bit chilly when we arrived at the sandbar! I was disappointed because I had relied on the information for the morning session, but the tide was not very low, only about waist-deep. The water level was lower than expected, around ankle-deep, and without any sunshine, it felt cold and a bit murky. Because of this, the snorkeling experience was less enjoyable.
It seems that the timing might have been off, or perhaps the volcanic activity on the Big Island affected the weather, causing many clouds and a whitish appearance around us. There were mountains where Jurassic World was filmed, and I couldn't help but think how beautiful it would have been if the weather had been clear! I was filled with regret, imagining the stunning scenery like in the experience photos. This time, we had a light meal with sandwiches, which were quite tasty. Drinks like cola, Sprite, tea, and other beverages were available for free.
For those who will participate in the future, I can only say that if you're lucky enough to have clear weather, you will have an amazing time! Locals also mentioned that the early morning is better for the tide, so it might be a good idea to choose the morning session. All we can do is hope for good weather. I hope to join again someday in perfect sunny conditions.
天使の海すごく興味が有り参加しました。口コミ情報や雑誌やネットなどの説明を見て朝早い方が潮引きが良いと知り朝早い時間帯で参加しました。朝起きてかなりの晴天でワクワクしながら船乗りばまで送迎してもらうなかなんだか天気が怪しい感じ。雨は降りそうもないけど雲がかなり多くなってきた。状況が変わらず船に乗りスポットまで出航!送迎車から船の中もずっと一緒に乗っていた日本人(女性)のガイドさんは、とても分かりやすい説明に非常に明るいテンションでみんなを楽しく和ませていました。まず亀の出るスポットで船のエンジンを止めてウォッチング。本当の目の前には現れなかったものの、結構亀が出現しました。みんな興奮して写真を撮っていました。次にサンドバーに向かいました。最初にも言ったように雲が多かったのでちょっと肌寒い感じの中サンドバーに到着!しっかり情報をあてにして朝の参加にしたのに残念。潮引きがあまく腰位迄の深さでした。足首程度の水位の期待が外れて晴れ間がないから寒いし少し濁って見える感じでした。なのでシュノーケルも楽しさが半減でした。時期が悪かったのかハワイ島の噴火の影響で風に流れて雲が多く辺りが白っぽい感じになってしまっているそうです。ジェラシックワールドの撮影された山があったりで、これが晴天だったらどんなに綺麗なんだろう!体験談の写真にのような素晴らしい景色なんだろうと悔やんでしょうがない気持ちでいっぱいでした。今回は軽食付きでサンドイッチを頂きました。普通に美味しかったです。ドリンクはコーラ、スプライト、紅茶、お茶などが飲み放題でした。これから参加する方には運良く晴天でであれば最高な時間を過ごせるよ!としか言えません。現地の方に聞いても朝早い方が潮引きが良いと言っていましたので、朝早い方便を選んだ方が良いかもしれません。天気は願うしかありません。いつかまた最高の晴天で参加したいです。

I found this tour while searching for relaxing activities to join in the afternoon just before my trip. The two-and-a-half-hour tour allowed us to snorkel off the coast of Waikiki, and we could also enjoy the beautiful views of Waikiki while on the boat—it was fantastic! We were able to see sea turtles and tropical fish without having to travel far, which was very moving. I often have so many things I want to do that my schedule becomes hectic, and I thought I might have to give up on snorkeling, but this tour offers plenty of opportunities to enjoy the ocean. It's also great for families! There were many other foreign participants, so we could all have a fun time together!
午後からゆっくり参加できるアクティビティを旅行直前まで探していた時にみつけたツアーでした。ワイキキ沖でシュノーケリングができ、しかも船に乗りながらゆっくりとワイキキの景色も堪能できる2時間半のツアーは最高でした!時間かけて遠くまで行かなくてもウミガメや熱帯魚も見れてとても感動♪いつもやりたいことが多くて、ハードスケジュールになる為、シュノーケリングを諦めないといけないかなぁと思っていましたがこちらのツアーは充分に海を楽しめる内容です。家族連れの方にも楽しめます!他の外国人の方もたくさん参加されていましたのでみんなでワイワイ楽しく過ごせます!

Zero bad things to say about the whole experience!
First, the bus driver, Rey, was friendly and prompt!
The host, Jenner, was also extremely friendly and funny!
Mike and Tyson, the dudes on the boat, were insanely helpful and welcoming!
If you're staying in Waikiki, I recommend taking their shuttle. There are various location pickups throughout Waikiki, so you can just walk to one.
The tour starts at the sandbar, where you can walk around explore. They also have a volleyball net setup, which is super cool. Next, we are served freshly cooked burgers and snacks on the boat. Then, after lunch, we sail to an area where we can turtle watch. Lastly, we were taken to a nearby reef, where we could snorkel for an hour. They provide all the proper snorkeling gear and life vests, so no need to bring your own.

This was my first trip to Hawaii with my family. The ocean was like paradise, and I was right to check the tide times in advance for this day. Although it wasn't completely like a sandbar, the beautiful sand reflecting on the water was truly a sight that you can't find in Japan. The kids were also impressed, but our time there was limited to taking photos or playing volleyball. The volleyball court was taken over by some very energetic foreigners, and the Japanese boat team was just watching. I felt that if there were more activities to enjoy here, it would create a better experience and more memorable moments. Things like rubber boats, trampolines, water polo, water guns, etc. would really enhance the experience.
But the ocean was beautiful.
I also heard about a BBQ lunch, but it was just a burger, which was disappointing.
私自身、初めてのハワイで家族をつれての旅行でした。天国の海、期待して前もって潮の時間も確認してこの日にして正解でした。完全には中洲みたいな砂浜がでている状態ではありませんでしたが、膝下くらいで綺麗な砂が海面に反射してまさしく日本にはにない綺麗な海でした。子供たちも感動しておりましたが、ココでの時間は写真撮影か、バレーしかありませんでした。バレーボールはハイテンションな外人さんに占領され日本人ボートチームはただソレを見ているだけでした。ココでもっと過ごすに楽しめる物を催してくれたら、差別化がもっと出来るし、思い出も、感動も倍増するのでは・・と感じました。ゴムボート、トランポリン、水球、水鉄砲、エトセトラ・・・
でも海は綺麗でした
あと、BBQランチと聴いていましたがただのバーガーでした
残念でした

I participated in Dolphin University. Since it was the second trip (meeting at 9 AM), I didn't have to wake up early, and I was in great shape, but the atmosphere on the boat was more intense than I expected (laughs).
Even in August, it can get really cold on the boat, so please bring extra bath towels. A hoodie is a must.
Once you spot a dolphin, you need to jump into the sea immediately and swim hard, or the dolphins will swim away. You'll be kicking with your fins until your legs are sore.
If you're not a strong swimmer, it might be tough unless you train in a pool in Japan first.
My 9-year-old son ran out of energy during his second attempt out of three and rested on the boat for the third try.
On the second trip, there was no lunch on the boat, and we only received a Whopper Jr. from Burger King on the way back. It's delicious, though.
イルカ大学、参加してきました。2便(9時集合)だったので早朝から起きることもなく、体調も万全でしたが、船上は予想以上にスパルタです(笑)。
8月でも船上はホントにガタガタするくらい寒いので、バスタオルは多めに持っていってください。パーカー必須です。
イルカを見つけたら即海へ飛び込み、ガチで泳がないとイルカが遠くへ行ってしまうので、足がパンパンになるまでフィンキックします。
泳ぎの苦手な方は日本のプールでトレーニングしてからじゃないとハードかも。
9歳の息子は3回のトライのうち2回目で体力が尽き、3回目は船上で休んでました。
2便は船上ランチはなく、帰りのバスでバーガーキングのワッパージュニアを配られるだけです。美味しいけどね。
ALOHA!! Thank you for participating in Dolphin University! This time of year is the dolphin birthing season, and some dolphins may be swimming faster, so the tour might have been a bit challenging. I hope your whole family enjoyed it! If you have the opportunity, we would love for you to come back and visit again. Thank you, MAHALO!!
ALOHA!! この度はイルカ大学にご参加いただきありがとうございました! この時期はイルカの出産シーズンで一部のイルカの泳ぎが速くなっていることもあり、ツアーは少しハードだったかと思います。ご家族皆様、お楽しみいただけましたでしょうか? また機会がございましたら皆様で遊びにお越しいただければと思います。ありがとうございました、MAHALO!!

The sea turtles were adorable. The sea turtles that appeared all over the ocean were amazing. My first snorkeling experience was fun, and I also enjoyed the BBQ-style lunch. However, perhaps due to the season, the shallow areas were deeper than I expected, which was a bit disappointing.
The warm drink service after coming out of the sea was comforting, not just in terms of taste, and the staff were friendly, making the overall experience enjoyable.
ウミガメが可愛かったです。
海のあちこちに現れるウミガメが最高でした。
初めてのシュノーケリング体験も楽しく、お昼のBBQ風のランチも楽しめました。
ただ、時期的なものなのか、浅瀬が思ったよりも深く、イメージと少し違っており、残念でした。
海からあがった後の温かい飲み物サービスは、味云々ではなく、ホッとする事ができ、スタッフさんの人柄も良く、全体的に楽しめました。

Previously, I participated in this tour during my honeymoon and was moved by the sea turtles, so this time I joined with my two children, making it a family of four. At the sandbar, we played volleyball with the staff and other participants, and a Japanese staff member took some wonderful photos for us, which was a lot of fun. The hamburger we had on the boat was as delicious as rumored. Thank you very much!
以前、新婚旅行で参加してウミガメに感動したので、今回子どもを2人連れて家族4人で参加しました。
サンドバーではスタッフの方や他の参加者さんとバレーボールをしたり、日本人スタッフの方にステキな写真を撮ってもらったりして、とても楽しめました。
船の上で食べたハンバーガーも噂通りとても美味しかったです。
ありがとうございました!
