I visited "Angel's Beach" on my first trip to Hawaii. It's a spot that has become quite popular on the internet and television, and it really is beautiful! Although my stay was short, I was able to enjoy it thoroughly. It's definitely worth a visit, so I recommend it!

Since I have a small child with me, I couldn't spend the whole day at the sandbar and go snorkeling, so I chose a half-day course. I thought the stay time might be a bit short, but it turned out to be just right with my 1 year and 8-month-old child. By the way, perhaps due to the tide conditions, the water was up to my waist even in shallow areas, making it difficult to keep the camera dry. With this situation, I had to carry my child the whole time.
小さな子が一緒なので、1日かけてサンドバーにいてシュノーケリングもするなんてことができないので、半日で帰れるコースにしました。滞在時間が少なめかなと思っていたが、1歳8ヶ月の子と一緒なのでちょうど良かった感じです。ちなみに、潮目が悪かったのか、浅いところでも腰まで水が来ていて、カメラを濡らさないようにするのが大変でした。これでは、子どもはだっこしっ放しです。

It's been a while since I participated, but the memories of that experience are still vivid. I feel happy whenever I see the scenery on TV.
The scenery, the beautiful sea turtles, and the stunning ocean are all highly recommended, but the top recommendation is the barbecue meat. The seasoning was truly delicious, and I ended up going back for seconds.
When asked what was delicious in Hawaii, I answered with this meat, but since you can only taste it by participating, I encouraged others to join in.
参加からだいぶたってしまいまいたが、いまだに参加した思い出が

I searched online for a tour to swim with wild dolphins and signed up for "Dolphin University," which had the best reviews. It was a great decision. The staff were enthusiastic both on the bus and on the boat, making it a very enjoyable tour. We were blessed with good weather and received satisfying lessons from Dolphin Sensei and Professor Turtle, successfully graduating from the experience.
The schedule involved being picked up by a bus from the hotel at 6 AM, traveling along the west coast of Oahu for about an hour to reach the port. During the ride, the female staff shared detailed explanations about dolphins and turtles, tips for swimming well with dolphins, and snorkeling precautions, which made the journey exciting and tense as we quickly arrived at the port.
We immediately boarded the boat, sang "Ehomai" to pray for safe sailing, and set off. Fifteen minutes later, we encountered the first pod of dolphins, which included a mother and her baby (about five dolphins spotted). The second pod had over 20 dolphins! They swam gracefully beneath us as we floated with our snorkels. They were incredibly fast! On that day, there were three pods in the bay. The dolphins even showcased some spindle jumps. I felt super lucky and wished I could swim with them a little longer.
Next, we enjoyed snorkeling at the fish and turtle point. There were only a few coral reefs in this area (which is generally sparse around Oahu). We also tried paddle surfing for the first time and managed to stand up quickly, which was fun. However, it was a bit disappointing that the hula dance we were looking forward to couldn't happen due to sound equipment issues. I would have loved to do it even without music.
The photographer took many pictures, and I think it would be even better if there was a system to select and purchase only the photos we wanted for creating memories. We had to wait about 30 minutes for the return bus, which was a bit frustrating in the heat. Overall, it was a very fulfilling and enjoyable tour. I highly recommend it.

Since it wasn't low tide, the water at the sandbar was up to my knees. Still, I could fully enjoy the strange feeling of standing right in the middle of the ocean.
For snorkeling, we swam along the edge of the sandbar. Thanks to the life jacket and float (or buoy?), I was able to snorkel safely without getting separated from my companions. Although the fish didn't come very close, we could see quite a few. Some reviews mentioned that the time was a bit short, but it was more than enough for beginners in snorkeling.
干潮ではなかったのでサンドバーでは膝位まで潮が満ちていました。
それでも海のど真ん中に立っている不思議な感じは満喫できます。
シュノーケリングはサンドバーの淵に沿って泳ぎます。
ライフジャケットと浮き輪(浮き棒?)のおかげで、連れとも離れずに安心してシュノーケリングができました。
魚も近くには来ませんが、結構見られます。
少し時間が短いという口コミもありましたが、シュノーケリング初心者には十分でした。

The weather was terrible on the day we went, and it rained several times along the way. During the snorkeling, there was a heavy downpour like a tropical storm, but the staff kept the atmosphere lively with bright voices and topics.
The rain was so intense that more than half of the people returned to the boat, but even then, they kindly prepared warm cocoa and coffee for us. The Japanese staff member took a lot of photos, and I thought it would have been perfect if the weather had been just a little better.
I was told that as long as I disposed of my trash, I could smoke on the sandbar, so I think smokers should definitely bring their cigarettes and lighters without hesitation. If you're not taking photos underwater, a regular digital camera or phone would be just fine.
The BBQ burger was delicious. You won't get one unless you remember the staff's name! The amount of tomatoes is one slice per person, so if someone takes two, there won't be enough. The staff was watching and laughing, saying, "One slice only!!"
行った日は天候が酷く、途中に何度も雨が降っていました。シュノーケルのタイミングでスコールのような大荒れの天気になったのですが、明るい声や話題で絶えず盛り上げて下さいました。
あまりにも激しい雨だったので、半分以上の人が船に戻ったのですが、そのときもすぐに温かいココアやコーヒーを用意して下さったりと、本当に親切でした。
日本人スタッフのお姉さんは写真をたくさん撮ってくれたし、天気があと少しでも良かったら最高だったなあと思いました。
自分でゴミさえ処理すれば、サンドバーでタバコも吸っていいよ、と言われたので、喫煙者の方は遠慮せずタバコとライターを持っていくべきだと思います笑
海の中を取らないのであれば、普通のデジカメや携帯でも問題ないくらいです。
BBQバーガーも美味しいです。スタッフさんの名前を忘れているともらえません。笑
トマトの量が1人1枚なので、ひとりで2枚取るような人がいると足りなくなります。スタッフさんが「1枚マデー!!」と笑いながら監視してました。笑

I was curious about what it would be like, so I participated. When we spotted the dolphins from the boat, everyone dove into the sea one by one at the signal and chased after them. However, I didn't have enough stamina and couldn't use my fins effectively, so I couldn't get very close. But next time, I want to build up my stamina and participate again.
どんな感じに見えるのか疑問に思い参加しましたが船の上から発見すると合図と共にみんなが順番に海へダイブ、イルカを追いかけました。しかし体力が無い私は足のフィンを上手く使えずにあまり近くへ寄ることが出来ませんでした。

You can practice snorkeling at the sandbar, so even beginners can enjoy snorkeling on the coral reef later on.
There seems to be a point where you can meet sea turtles, and whether you see them up close or from a distance is up to luck.

At the end of June, during our company trip, I visited Hawaii for the first time and wanted to experience something unique to Hawaii, so I signed up for this tour to meet wild dolphins and sea turtles.
On the morning of the tour, we gathered at the meeting point and departed as soon as everyone arrived. The bus ride takes about an hour if there’s no traffic. During the ride, the instructor and the bus driver introduced themselves and explained the precautions for participating in the tour and the day's itinerary. Motion sickness medication can also be purchased for about $2, so if you don’t have any and need it, you can buy it on the bus. Even if you’re confident you won’t get sick, the boat can sway quite a bit depending on the weather, so I recommend buying and taking the motion sickness medication. In fact, there were a few people who didn’t take it and ended up getting sick on the boat. If you get seasick, you won’t be able to enjoy the tour to the fullest, so be sure to take it.
Before long, we arrived at the port, and those who wanted to rent wetsuits settled the rental fee. You can also sign up for wetsuit rental on the bus. As other reviewers have mentioned, even if it’s warm on land, returning to the boat with a wet body can be much colder than you expect, so I recommend renting one.
Once we were ready, we set off. There were about 20 to 30 people, and the bus was nearly full. Along with the participants, there were three instructors who joined us from the bus, as well as the captain and his son. The boat is equipped with a restroom, which is reassuring. The instructors kept the atmosphere lively on the boat.
This time, we were lucky with the weather, and about five minutes after departure, we spotted a pod of dolphins.
Following the instructor's instructions, we quickly changed into our wetsuits and got ready. I was so excited, but since we were dealing with nature, I knew that being unprepared could be dangerous. I calmly listened to the instructor's explanations and prepared myself.
Once we were ready, we entered the water one by one as instructed. It was my first experience with snorkeling, so I was initially scared, but wearing a life jacket helped me get used to it quickly. Once in the water, we swam towards the pod of dolphins. It does require a fair amount of stamina.
Since the dolphins are constantly moving, staying close to the instructor makes it easier to encounter the pods.
I missed the first pod of dolphins, but when the next one appeared, I stayed close to the instructor and was able to see the dolphins clearly.
The wild dolphins were incredibly mystical, cute, and moving.
After seeing the dolphins, we moved to a spot with lots of colorful tropical fish for snorkeling. Here, in addition to snorkeling, those who wanted could also enjoy activities like paddle surfing. I decided to stick with snorkeling this time.
We were also lucky to encounter a sea turtle and swim alongside it. It felt like we were swimming right next to each other.
After finishing snorkeling, we returned to the boat, changed out of our wetsuits, and prepared to head back to the port.
On the way back, we saw several sea turtles.
During the ride back to the port, we had a great time eating hamburgers, singing and dancing with the instructors and other participants, and enjoying the scenery.
Once we arrived at the port, we took a group photo and boarded the bus for the return trip. On the bus, those who wanted could purchase the photos taken by the photographer who accompanied us that day.
We were able to return to the hotel by early afternoon, making good use of our time.
Participating in this tour was a very memorable experience, especially since we were blessed with good weather and conditions. My wife and I both said it was the most fun we had during our trip to Hawaii. If we have the opportunity to visit Hawaii again in the future, we definitely want to participate again.

6月末に社員旅行でハワイに初めて訪れた際に、ハワイでしか経験できないことをしたいと思い、野生のイルカとウミガメに会いに行くこちらのツアーに申し込みました。
当日の朝、集合場所へ行き人数がそろい次第すぐに出発しました。
バスでの移動時間は渋滞などなければ1時間前後だと思います。
行きの車内ではインストラクターの方やバスの運転手の方の自己紹介、今回のツアーに参加するにあたっての注意事項、当日の流れなどの説明をインストラクターの方がしてくれます。
酔い止めの薬も2ドル(だったような、、)で購入できるので、酔い止め薬を持参してなくて必要な方は購入することもできます。
酔わない自信がある方でも、当日の天候次第ではかなり船が揺れるみたいですので、酔い止め薬を購入して飲んでおくことをオススメします。
実際に今回も酔い止め薬を飲まず、船で吐いてる方も何名かいらっしゃいました。
船酔いしてしまうと、ツアーを100パーセント楽しむことができないため必ず飲んでおくようにしましょう。
そうこうしているうちに港に到着し、ウェットスー
ツのレンタルを希望している方はウェットスーツ代の精算をします。
ウェットスーツのレンタルも行きの車内で申し込むことができます。
他の投稿者の方も書いてますが、陸は暖かくても濡れた体で船に戻ると想像以上に寒いと思うので、こちらもレンタルすることをオススメします。
準備が整い次第、さっそく出発です。
人数は20〜30人くらいでほぼ満席だったと思います。
参加者の他に、行きのバスから同行して
くれたインストラクターの方と、ハワイの現地人のインストラクターの方が3名、船長と船長の息子さんで出発です。
船はトイレも完備されているため安心です。
船ではインストラクターの方々が色々と盛り
上げてくれます。
今回はラッキーなことに天候にも恵まれ、船が出発して5分くらいでイルカの群れを発見しました。
インストラクターの方の指示で、さっそくウェットスーツに着替え準備に入ります。
ワクワクが止まりませんが、自然が相手ですので準備を怠ると危険なケースも考えられます。
落ち着いてインストラクターの方の説明を聞き準備を行います。
準備が完了したらインストラクターの方の指示で、順番に海に入ります。
シュノーケリングは初めての経験でしたので最初は恐怖心がありましたが、ライフジャケットも着てるのですぐに慣れます。
海に入ったらイルカの群れに向かってひたすら泳ぎます。
そこそこ体力も必要になるかと思います。
イルカも常に移動してるので、インストラクターの方の近くにいるとイルカの群れに遭遇しやすいかと思います。
私は最初のイルカの群れは見ることが出来ませんでしたが、次に現れたイルカの群れの時はインストラクターの方の近くに付きイルカの群れをしっかりと見ることができました。
野生のイルカの群れはとても神秘的で可愛くて感動しました。
イルカを見た後は、場所を移動しカラフルな熱帯魚がたくさんいるところでシュノーケリングを行います。
ここではシュノーケリングの他にも、希望者はパドルサーフィンなどのアクティビティで遊ぶことができます。
私は今回はアクティビティは行わず、ずっとシュノーケリングをすることにしました。
ここでもラッキーなことにウミガメに遭遇し、一緒に泳ぐことができました。
ものすごく距離が近く隣で一緒に泳いでいるって感覚です。
こちらでのシュノーケリングが終わったあとは船に戻り、ウェットスーツなど着替え、帰る準備をし、港へ向けて出発します。
港へ向かうあいだにも何匹もウミガメがいました。
港までの時間は、ハンバーガーを食べたり、インストラクターの方々と、ツアーの参加者みんなで歌ったり踊ったり、景色を眺めたり、ずっと有意義に過ごすことができます。
港へ着くと最後にみんなで記念撮影をし、帰りのバスに乗り込みます。
帰りのバスでは本日同行してくれたカメラマンの方が撮影したデータを、希望者は買うことができます
昼過ぎにはホテルへ戻ることができるので、時間を有効に使うことができます。
今回参加してみて、天候やコンディションに恵まれたこともあり、とても思い出深い経験をすることができました。
私と妻も、今回のハワイ旅行の中で1番楽しかったと言っています。
また今後ハワイに行く機会がありましたら、ぜひまた参加したいと考えています。
迷っている方が居ましたら、1度参加してみると素晴らしい感動や体験が待っているのでオススメします。

The sandbar was very beautiful, and I really felt it was worth going. However, what impressed me the most was being able to swim alongside the sea turtles. Thanks to this tour, I have come to love sea turtles. They are just so cute!
Additionally, the tour guide was a very humorous Hawaiian person, which made the experience enjoyable throughout.
One thing I did notice was that many Japanese tourists left without tipping, which I found disappointing. It might be a culture they are not familiar with and may find it difficult to tip, but it does impact their living expenses and can lead to improved services in the future. I hope that those who enjoyed the experience will consider leaving a tip.
サンドバーはとても綺麗で本当にいってよかったと思いました。
ただそれ以上にウミガメと並走して泳げたことが一番感激しました。
このツアーのお陰でウミガメが大好きになりました。可愛くてしかたありません、
また、ツアーのガイドさんがとてもユーモアのあるハワイの人で終始楽しかったです
。
あと一点思ったのは、日本人観光客の多くがチップを払わずに帰ってしまっていたことが残念に感じました。あまりなじみのない文化で払いにくいかもしれませんが、彼らの生活費にも影響してきますし、今後のサービス向上のにもつながると思うので、楽しかったと思えた方はチップを払っていただければと思いました。

After about 15 minutes on the boat, we arrived at the spot where the dolphins are. We quickly put on our masks and fins and dove in! There were really so many dolphins welcoming us. I think there were more than 20. We briefly drifted away, but they came back to us, and as the instructor mentioned, the dolphins all seemed to be swimming relaxed. They even came right up to us, which was very moving! If I could wish for anything, it would be to swim with them a bit longer. It was so much fun that the time felt really short.
After swimming with the dolphins, we moved a little to a spot with lots of fish and enjoyed snorkeling. They seemed used to people and didn’t escape even when we got close. We also enjoyed kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding! Afterward, we all had cheeseburgers and pineapple. As the boat was returning to the port, the dolphins came back toward us and showed us some dolphin jumps. It really felt like they were seeing us off. Finally, we danced the hula, and I was very satisfied! Even now that I’m back home, I can’t get the hula dance song out of my head!
船に乗り15分ぐらいでイルカ先生のいるスポットに到着しました。すぐにマスクとフィンを取り付け潜水!本当にたくさんのイルカ先生達がお出迎えしてくれました。20頭以上はいたのではないかと思います。一度離れてしまいましたがまた戻ってきてくれ、インストラクターの方も言ってましたがイルカ先生達はみんなリラックスして泳いでいるようでした。目の前に来てくれることもあり、とても感動しました!欲を言えばもっと一緒に泳ぎたかったな〜〜。楽しくて本当に時間が短く感じました。
イルカ先生と泳いだ後は、魚がたくさんいくところへ少し移動。シュノーケルを楽しみました。人に慣れているのか触れそうになっても全然逃げない。。カヤックやSUPも楽しみました!終わった後はみんなでチーズバーガーとパイナップルを食べました。船が港に戻ろうとするとまたイルカ先生たちがこちらに向かって来てくれドルフィンジャンプを見せてくれました。本当にお見送りしてくれてるかのようでした。最後はフラダンスを踊ってとっても満足で
す!帰国した今もフラダンスの歌が頭から離れません笑。
Aloha!! Thank you for participating in the tour. I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed the classes with the many dolphin instructors, ocean activities, and hula dancing. The manta ray tour on the Big Island is also impressive and highly recommended! Please consider that during your travels to the Big Island! We look forward to your participation in tours on Oahu as well. Mahalo!!
Aloha!!この度はツアーへのご参加ありがとうございました。たくさんのイルカ先生との授業やオーシャンアクティビティ、フラダンスなど、ツアーを存分に楽しんでいただけたようで良かったです。ハワイ島のマンタツアーも迫力があってオススメです!是非ハワイ島へご旅行の際にはそちらもご検討くださいませ!またオアフでもツアーへのご参加をお待ちしております。Mahalo!!

I was able to discover many sea turtles. I was really moved. The sandbar provided great photo opportunities and became a wonderful memory. While I could swim around the coral reef while snorkeling, I got so caught up in the beauty that it was difficult to leave in the end.
海ガメ、たくさん発見できました。すごく感動しました。サンドバーはすごくいい写真が撮れて、よい思い出になりました。シュノーケルで珊瑚礁を一周泳いでもよいのですが、きれいで夢中になっていたら、最後は帰るのが大変でした。
