I participated in the Dolphin University on August 18. I was a bit skeptical about whether I could really swim with wild dolphins, but I was able to swim with a pod of over 30 dolphins. Additionally, wild sea turtles came right up to the boat. The fifth-grade children were also very excited. The local guides were kind and made the experience really enjoyable. Next time I go to Hawaii, I definitely want to participate again.
イルカ大学には、8月18日に参加しました。本当に野生のイルカと泳げるかと半信半疑でしたが、30頭以上の群れと一緒に泳ぐことができました。さらに、野生のウミガメも船のすぐそばまでやってきました。小学5年生の子供たちも大興奮でした。また、現地添乗員の皆さんも親切で楽しくすごくことができました。次回もハワイに行ったら、ぜひ参加したいです。

The sandbar was submerged in seawater up to my waist, but it was a beautiful place with very clear water. I went snorkeling, but there weren't any fish at all. Since there were no hiding spots, there were no fish.
Next, we headed for sea turtle watching, and I was able to see several sea turtles. It was really great.
Then, we went to the coral reef and enjoyed snorkeling in a place where I couldn't touch the bottom. Many fish welcomed us, and it was fun.
Finally, the hamburgers made by the staff were very delicious. I thanked the staff and said goodbye.
サンドバーは腰位まで海水に浸かりましたが、とても水が綺麗で素敵な場所でした。シュノーケリングをしましたが、魚は1匹もいませんでした。隠れる所がないので、魚はいないですね。
次に、海ガメウォッチングに向かいましたが、何頭もの海ガメを見ることができました。とても良かったです。
次に、サンゴ礁に向かい足の着かない場所でのシュノーケリングを楽しみました。たくさんの魚たちが迎えてくれて楽しかったです。
最後に、スタッフの皆さんが作ってくれたハンバーガーがとても美味しかったです。スタッフの皆さんにお礼を言ってお別れしました。

I participated in a morning-only tour. It happened to be a day when the tide was high, so even in the shallowest areas, the water level was up to my stomach. However, I had a great time during the photo opportunities and snorkeling, and the sandwiches were delicious, so it was a good experience overall.
午前中のみのツアーに参加しました。当日はたまたま潮が満ちている日だったようで、一番浅い所でもお腹位まで水位がありました。ただ、写真タイムやシュノーケリングを楽しく過ごせましたし、サンドイッチも美味しかったので、良かったです。

We traveled by boat and were able to reach our destination while enjoying a fun guided experience. I remember that when I went, the water was shallow, about up to my knees, but we were able to see a beautiful sandbar. We also saw sea turtles and enjoyed snorkeling for about an hour. The hamburgers for lunch were delicious (≧∇≦). Despite a mishap where the strong wind blew away the lettuce, the crew and other guests had a great time enjoying the tour together! It was a place I would love to visit again!
船で移動しますが、楽しくガイドをしていただきながら目的地までいくことができました。私が行った時は浅いところでひざ下くらいまで海水があったと記憶していますが、キレイなサンドバーをみることができました。
ウミガメも見られましたし、シュノーケリングも約1時間楽しみました。
お昼のハンバーガーはおいしかったです(≧∇≦)風が強くレタスが吹き飛ばされるというハプニングもありながら、クルーのみなさん、お客さんと和気あいあいとツアーを楽しむことができました!
またいきたいと思える場所でした!

I participated in a daytime snorkeling tour. While enjoying views of the hotels in Waikiki and Diamond Head from the sea, I snorkeled with sea turtles for about an hour, creating unforgettable memories. On the boat, snacks and drinks (for an additional fee) were provided, and you can also enjoy a cruising time after snorkeling. I think it was a very meaningful experience for a tour I decided on suddenly. The price is a bit on the higher side, though...
昼間のスノーケリング付きのツアーに参加しました。ワイキキのホテルやダイヤモンドヘッドを海から眺めながらウミガメと一緒に1時間程スノーケリング、忘れられない思い出になりました。船上ではスナックやお酒(別料金)が用意してありスノーケルの後のクルージングタイムも楽しめます。突然決めたツアーにしてはとても有意義な時間が過ごせたと思います。値段は少しお高めですが…

The bus pickup was significantly delayed, which made me worry. Other participants in the same tour were concerned and went to make phone calls, but we missed each other, which was a bit of a downside.
Since it was windy, my family, who tends to get seasick, was a little worried, but it turned out to be no problem at all. Despite the strong winds, the water was surprisingly clear. That's what the lady said. The sea was truly beautiful. At the bar, even though the surrounding water was a deep blue, the spot we were in was only knee-deep, making it a unique experience. The lady took many perfect shots of us.
We only saw the sea turtles briefly, but it was nice to have spotted them. Then came snorkeling time. We went around the coral, but it was a place where even adults couldn't touch the bottom at all. We were given life jackets and floating bars, and off we went! My 7-year-old daughter was super excited, swimming around and shouting, "There are red fish! There are striped ones!"
I was trying to keep up while almost cramping my legs, holding onto the bar. For lunch, we had hamburgers made with freshly grilled patties topped with cheese and plenty of vegetables. It was delicious. The wind was strong, and the lettuce was flying everywhere, but that was part of the fun.
The lady kindly brought a cup of salsa sauce and chips for my daughter, who loved them. Everything was well taken care of, and we had a great time without any seasickness. For the return trip, I think it would be good to prepare to change quickly in the restroom so we wouldn't feel cold on the way back.
We had a wonderful experience. Of course, my daughter's illustrated diary was all about snorkeling.
バスのお迎えが予定よりかなり遅れて、心配しました。
同じツアーの方は心配して電話をしに行って下さってましたが、入れ違いになったりそこがちょっとマイナスポイントでした。
風が強かったので船酔いしやすい我が家は少し心配しましたが、全く問題ありませんでした。
風が強い割に透明度出てますね。とお姉さんの言葉。本当に綺麗な海でした。バーでは周り濃い青の海なのに自分たちのいる場所だけが膝下で貴重な体験でした。お姉さんにバッチリのショットを沢山撮っていただきました。
ウミガメさんは少ししか顔を出してくれなかったけどまあ見られたのでよかったです。
そしてシュノーケリングタイム。サンゴの周りに行きますが、大人でも全く足のつかない場所でした。ライフジャケットと浮かぶバーを貸してもらってGO!7歳の娘は大興奮。泳ぎまくって、赤のお魚がいた!シマシマがいた!と大騒ぎでした。
親の私が脚がつりそうになりながらバーを持ってついていってました。
ランチのハンバーガーは焼きたてのハンバーグにチーズをのせて、好きな野菜をたっぷり入れていただきました。美味しかったです。風が強くてレタスが飛び散ってましたが、それも楽しかったです。
サルサソースとチップスを気に入ったムスメの為にお姉さんがカップに入れてお代わりを持ってきてくださいました。
至れりつくせりで、船酔いもなく、楽しく過ごせました。帰りはトイレの中でサッと着替えられる様に用意をして行けば寒くなく帰れると思います。
とても良い経験をしました。ムスメの絵日記はもちろんシュノーケリングでした。

Is this an experience unique to Japan? Or perhaps to the world? It can only be described as wonderful. I've been visiting Hawaii for years, but since I always go in winter, it was too cold for me to feel like getting in the water. However, this time it was a family trip with eight people, including my three grandchildren, so we included it at the children's request. I didn't get in the water, but the other seven came out with beaming smiles, and it was definitely worth bringing them. I bought an underwater camera just for this occasion, but I was so caught up in the fun that I didn't take a single picture. What a shame!
日本ではというか?世界でもここだけ?の経験でしょうか?もう素晴らしいの一言に尽きます。何年もハワイには通っていますが、いつも冬ばかりなので、老人には寒すぎて水に入る気がしませんでしたが、今回は孫三人を含む8人の家族旅行でしたので、子供たちの要望で組み入れました。僕は、水には入らなかったのですが、あとの7人は水から上がってきた顔が満面の笑みで、連れてきたかいがあったというものです。せっかくの水中カメラをこのために買っていったのに、遊ぶのに夢中で、一枚も撮らずじまいでした。残念!

I had been interested in this for a while, and when I went to Hawaii last time, I couldn't make a reservation, so I decided to try again this time! I was really looking forward to it. However, nature had other plans. During high tide, the sandbar was only up to my knees, and it rained.
The snorkeling was challenging due to the strong currents, but it was a satisfying tour overall. We even saw sea turtles up close, which was thrilling. Given the weather conditions, I will check the tides for my next attempt. The staff was excellent!
以前より気になっておりまして、前回ハワイに行った際は予約が取れずに今回は再チャレンジ!
大変楽しみに行きました。自然には勝てず。満潮でサンドバーはひざ上位まで。そして雨

When you come to Oahu, you can't miss the sandbar! There are many sandbar tours, but I recommend the full-day sightseeing tour with sea turtle watching and BBQ! Since you're there, I hope you fully immerse yourself in the tour for the whole day. Unless you time it perfectly with a big tide, it won't be a sandbar, but you'll still have plenty of fun. It's highly recommended! It can get a bit chilly after coming out of the water, so be sure to bring a jacket.
オアフに来たら、サンドバーは外せません!サンドバーツアーは数あれど、ウミガメウオッチングBBQ付き一日観光がおススメです!せっかくですから、一日どっぷりとツアーに漬かってほしいです。よっぽどの大潮タイミングを狙わない限り砂洲ではないですが、十分楽しめます。イチオシです!

First, we headed to the sandbar. Unfortunately, the weather was not great on the day we visited, and it was high tide, which made it feel a bit lacking. I think the view would be amazing on a clear day when a little bit of the beach is exposed above the water.
We played beach volleyball here (the ball was surprisingly heavy) and practiced snorkeling before enjoying hamburgers for lunch.
After that, we moved to a sea turtle spot for snorkeling. We were dropped off in a massive coral area that spanned several dozen meters wide. The entire area was filled with live coral, and there were plenty of fish to see. We even encountered sea turtles! However, I think you need to be careful when chasing the turtles because it suddenly gets deep as you go further out.
While encountering the sea turtles was a highlight, the sandbar, which is another main attraction, was a bit disappointing that day, so I would rate it a 4.
まずはサンドバーへ行きます。
私たちが訪れた日は、生憎の天気で、なおかつ満ち潮だったため、イマイチな感じでした。
カラっと晴れた日に、海上に砂浜が少し出てるぐらいだと、最高の景色になると思います。
ここでビーチバレーしたり(球がやたら重い)、シュノーケリングの練習をしたりして、昼食にハンバーガーを頂きます。
その後は、ウミガメスポットに移動してシュノーケリング。
横幅が数10mはある、巨大なサンゴの密集地帯で降ろされました。
一面生きたサンゴで、魚も見応えがあります。
ウミガメにも出会えましたよ!ただ、カメを追いかけて沖の方に行くと、いきなり深くなるので注意が必要だと思います。
ウミガメに出会えたのはポイントが高いですが、もう一つのウリであるサンドバーがこの日はもう一つだったので、評価4で。

It would have been "a once in a lifetime" opportunity in the Pacific ocean in Hawaii. Unfortunately the three of us anxiously awaiting our turn on the underwater scooters became seasick. Had we known the swells of the ocean, from tropical storm Darby, may have affected us negatively, maybe we could have prepared better. Perhaps somewhere in the confirmation the vendor could have mentioned motion sickness and recommended we take or put on something "just in case" we might be affected. My son made it into the scooter gear but came up because bubbles kept getting in his nose, eyes. Others on the boat did have a great time! We won't go again. We will snorkel next time. It just didn't work out for us.

During the ceremony of setting sail on the boat, a pod of 20 to 30 dolphins came to join us, and we were able to swim with them. It's said that it's rare to encounter them this quickly. Lucky!!
It was an emotional first experience for me. I also got to see sea turtles swimming a few times. Since we met the dolphins early on, we had plenty of time left for marine sports, which made me very satisfied. The marine sports equipment is limited, so we took turns. The crew members were all cheerful and kind, making it the best experience. I definitely plan to participate again next time.
船に乗って出航の儀式?をしている最中に2~30頭のイルカの群れが来てくれて、一緒に泳げました。こんなに早くあえるのは滅多にないことらしいです。ラッキー!!

This would have been a great snorkel adventure if there weren't so many people on board. It was impossible to view turtles. We were told to stick together and when the crew member who was in the water with us alerted us about a sighting everyone would swim over towards the turtles and you would either get kicked or shoved aside. Finally my granddaughter and I gave up and swam back toward the catamaran and we saw plenty of fish. The lunch was a lot better than the catamaran snorkel sail I took her on last year while she was here visiting. But they had a lot fewer people and we were able to snorkel and see turtles without being run over.

Due to the weather conditions, it couldn't be helped, but it was very cold, and I was submerged in water up to my knees without being able to see the sandy beach, so I couldn't fully enjoy the angelic sea.
Also, even though I waited from early in the morning for the meeting time, they arrived over 30 minutes late without any particular apology. I understand that traffic can cause delays, but I had even called to confirm, so I was a bit disappointed with the response.
天候の関係もあるので仕方がないのですが、すごく寒くてかつ砂浜見えない膝まで水につかっていて、天使の海を満喫することは出来ませんでした。

We participated in a BBQ lunch plan with my husband and our 9-year-old child. We chose this plan because we started the morning leisurely and spent a long time at the sandbar.
At the sandbar, the shallowest area was about knee-deep for adults, and in the deeper parts, we could just barely touch the bottom. The water was clear, the scenery was beautiful, and our child was thrilled. After practicing snorkeling at the sandbar, we had hamburgers, and the staff entertained us during the meal, making it fun even on the boat. We also got to see sea turtles!
The snorkeling in the coral area was breathtaking with the beautiful corals and fish. Our child, who was told not to damage the corals, was so amazed by the water's clarity that they said, "I'm scared I might kick the coral!" (laughs). We got so caught up in it that we ended up feeling quite cold (laughs). After snorkeling, we enjoyed warm drinks. The sea made us feel chilly, and the wind added to the cold. Also, the bus ride to and from the location was cold, so a bath towel and long sleeves are a must.
子供(9歳)と旦那、私の3人で、BBQランチ付きプランに参加しました。
朝ゆっくりめで、サンドバーにいる時間も長かったので、このプランを選択。
サンドバーは、一番浅いところで大人の膝くらい、深いところでぎりぎり足が着くくらいでしたが、水も綺麗で、景色が素晴らしく子供も大喜びでした。
サンドバーでシュノーケルの練習をしたあと、ハンバーガーを食べましたが、ご飯の時もスタッフさん達がいろいろ楽しませてくれて、船の中でも楽しかったです。
海亀にも会えました♪
珊瑚地帯のシュノーケルでは、珊瑚とお魚達がとても美しく感動しました。
珊瑚は傷つけないように!と教えられた子供は、あまりの海の透明度に「珊瑚を蹴りそうで怖い((゚Д゚ll))」と言うほどでした(笑)。
夢中になりすぎて、身体が冷え冷えに(笑)。シュノーケルの後は温かい飲み物をいただきました。
海で身体が冷え+風で寒く感じます。また、行き帰りのバスが寒いので、バスタオル+長袖必須です。

I chose the plan with snacks.
Although the morning is a bit early, I can return by lunchtime, so even if I get a little tired, I can rest at the hotel and then go out again or spend my time freely.
I checked the tide schedule in advance and chose the best day during my stay to book. I think the water came up to about my knees to my waist. The feeling of standing over the vast sea with land far away was a rare experience that I don't usually get.
The snorkeling was just the right length for beginners, moving straight while glancing at the coral and turning back at a certain point, making it a very simple course.
You don't need to worry about "breathing" like in swimming, but the water is deep enough that you can't touch the bottom (and touching the coral can cause injury), so if you tend to feel anxious about not being able to grab onto something in an emergency, it's better to stay close to the staff. The staff is attentive and will quickly provide flotation devices to help if anything happens.
It was my first time snorkeling, and although it was brief, seeing the fish swimming with my own eyes was another valuable experience.
Lastly, although it's labeled as a sandwich, it's a simple one with ham and cheese between slices of bread, so don't expect something like the large hamburgers you might find locally.
スナック付きプランを選択しました。
朝は少し早いですが、お昼には帰って来れるので、ちょっと疲れてもホテルで休憩して、また外に出たり自由に過ごせます。
潮の満ち引きは一応事前に調べて、滞在期間中で一番良い日を選んで申し込みました。
膝上~腰下くらいまで水が来ていたと思います。
陸が遠くに見え、広い海の上に立っている感覚は普段得られない貴重な体験でした。
シュノーケリングは初めての人にちょうどよい短さで、珊瑚を横目に見ながらまっすぐに進み、ある地点で折り返す、といった至極単純コースになります。
水泳で言うところの、「息継ぎ」はしなくて良いのですが、足が着かないくらい深い(+珊瑚に触れるとケガする)ので、いざという時どこかにつかまったり出来ないことにすぐ不安を覚える人は、スタッフさんの側に居た方が安心です。
スタッフさんもよく見ているので、何かあったらすぐ浮く道具を寄越して助けてくれます。
シュノーケリングは初めてで、自分の目で魚たちが泳いでいるのを見れるのは、短い間でしたが、これまた貴重な体験でした。
最後に。サンドイッチと書かれていますが、食パンにハムとチーズを挟んだ程度の簡素なものなので、(現地の大きなハンバーガーのようなイメージとか)期待はしないように。

The sandbar has clear water and no waves, making it enjoyable for couples and families with children. We were advised to snorkel barefoot (probably because flip-flops would come off), and while swimming over the coral, we got a bit cut on our feet due to the crowded area. I recommend wearing marine shoes if possible. Since this is overseas, it's at your own risk. The round-trip bus to the sandbar can be cold, so I suggest bringing a long-sleeved jacket and a bath towel since you'll be returning wet. You can see fish and turtles up close, which is a lot of fun. The female staff were very cheerful and hardworking, making the experience enjoyable. The local staff were also bright and friendly. I think it's a great place for children, adults, individuals, couples, and families to enjoy.
サンドバーは水もきれいで波もなくカップル、子供連れでも楽しめます。
素足でシュノーケリングをするように言われ(ビーチサンダルだと脱げてしまうからだと思います。)サンゴの上を泳いで私たちは前がつまっていてサンゴで足を少し切ってしまいました。
出来たらマリンシューズの着用をお勧めします。
海外なので自己責任です。
サンドバーまでの往復のバスが寒いので長袖の上着、濡れたまま帰るのでバスタオルをお持ちすることをお勧めします。
魚や亀が身近に見られ楽しめます。スタッフの女性がすごく明るく一生懸命なので大変楽しかったです。
現地人スタッフも明るく良しです。
子供から大人、個人、カップル、家族で楽しめると思います。

I have some experience with snorkeling in Hawaii, but this time I wanted to try going to the sandbar that often appears on TV, so I made a reservation. Since there were no morning slots available, I opted for the afternoon, but unfortunately, due to high tide, the water was up to my waist at my height. In deeper areas, I couldn't touch the bottom, so I had to wear a life jacket, but the sea was very beautiful, and I was able to see sea turtles quite closely. After that, we moved to a deeper area for snorkeling. Those who didn't want to snorkel stayed on the boat, but it didn't seem like they were bored, as it was interesting to watch. Compared to the tours I've participated in before, snorkeling wasn't the main focus, so I felt a bit unsatisfied, but the staff's explanations were clear, and it was evident that they were attentive to safety. As for food, shortly after boarding the boat, we were served freshly made malasadas, and the barbecue lunch was a buffet with salad, several types of meat, pineapple, rice, and chili beans. The meat and pineapple were especially delicious, and I ate a lot. Overall, the atmosphere was very Hawaiian and lively, and as older participants, we felt a bit out of place, but the guide mentioned that their children were already grown, which made me realize that age doesn't really matter. The boat didn't rock much, so I recommend this for those who want to relax in the sea but also want a bit of activity.
ハワイでシュノーケリングは何回か経験があるのですが、今回はTVによく出ている海の中のサンドバーに行ってみたいと思い、申し込みました。午前中はもう予約が空いてなかったので午後にしたのですが、残念ながら満潮で深さは小さい私の身長では腰のあたりまでありました。深い所では足がつかないので救命胴衣を着けながらでしたが、海はとてもきれいでウミガメもかなり間近で見られました。その後深めの所へ移動してシュノーケリングをしました。しない人は船に残っていましたが、そんなに長い時間ではなく見てるのも面白かったみたいで退屈ではなさそうでした。今まで参加してきたツアーに比べるとシュノーケリングはメインではないので少し物足りなかったですが、スタッフの方々の説明はわかりやすく安全にも配慮していることがうかがわれました。食べ物は船に乗ると間もなく出来立てのマラサダが配られていただけるのと、バーベキューランチはサラダ、お肉が数種類、パイナップル、ごはん、チリビーンズなどのブフェで、お肉とパイナップルが特においしくてたくさん食べました。全体的にハワイらしく盛り上げる雰囲気で年齢の少し行っている私たちはちょっと気おくれしていましたが、ガイドさんもお子さんがもう大きいという話だったので、年齢は関係ないんだなと感心しました。船もあまり揺れないので、のんびり海に入りたいけどちょっとアクティブにもしたい、という方にお勧めです。

I think it would have been amazing... but will not know as we were not able to attend. I need to find a phone number to call to request a refund as I paid a lot of money for 6 of us.
