The food and show were both great. It seemed like a smaller venue than one we went to on Maui a few years ago, which was nice because there was less wait to get food and every seat had a great view of the show. Great for the kids, it wrapped up around 7:30pm. Fire dance was pretty cool as well.

What a wonderful experience to get close to dolphins! My daughter (11) loved it so much. She got to swim with the dolphins and work with the trainer to give commands to the dolphins. It was so exciting to see all the amazing knowledge these beautiful creatures have. The trainers provide so much information as to the care and conservation of dolphins.

I participated with my 69-year-old mother at the end of December. I was anxious because I couldn't speak English and it was my first experience with snorkeling, but thanks to the excellent support, I was able to participate in the activities with peace of mind.
First, they were able to handle reservation confirmations and inquiries in Japanese over the phone. On the day of the trip, the boarding staff only provided English guidance, but since I had requested a hotel pickup, a Japanese-speaking staff member came to greet us. This person helped us prepare for boarding, provided us with important information after we boarded, and supported us after we disembarked.
Even though it was the end of December in Hawaii, I was worried about the cold sea, but following the staff's recommendation to rent a wetsuit made it comfortable, and I didn't feel cold at all. During the activity, there were enough staff members to watch over and support the participants.
Thanks to this, I had a wonderful experience seeing many manta rays and a beautiful sunset. Even if we hadn't encountered any manta rays, just snorkeling in the waters of Hawaii would have been a fantastic experience. I highly recommend it!
12月末に69歳の母と参加しました。
英語も話せずシュノーケリングも初体験のため不安でしたが、手厚いサポートのおかげで安心してアクティビティに参加することができました。
まず、電話での予約確認や問い合わせに、日本語で対応していただけます。
また、乗船スタッフは英語ガイドのみの日でしたが、ホテルへの送迎を頼んでいたところ日本語スタッフの方が迎えに来てくださいました。
その方に乗船までの準備を手伝っていただいたり、乗船後の注意点も教えていただいたり、下船後のサポートもしていただきました。
ハワイとはいえ12月末の海ということで寒さが不安でしたが、スタッフの方のお勧めに従いウェットスーツを借りたところ、寒さを感じることはなく快適に過ごせました。
アクティビティ中も、参加者に対して十分な人数のスタッフが見守ってサポートしてくれます。
おかげさまでたくさんのマンタと綺麗な夕日を見るという素晴らしい体験ができましたが、もしマンタと遭遇できなかったとしても、ハワイの海でシュノーケリングするというだけでも十分に素敵な経験だったと思います。
とてもおすすめです!

There is an observatory. The starry sky is very beautiful. I do not recommend driving there by yourself. The return trip is dark and the roads are bad.
天文台があります。星空か、とても綺麗です。自分で運転して見に行くのは、おすすめ出来ません。帰りは、暗く道も悪いです。

Our Pearl Harbor and Ford Island tour was an unforgettable and meaningful experience. The visit to the USS Arizona Memorial was deeply moving, offering a powerful reminder of the events of December 7, 1941, and the lives lost that day. Touring the Battleship Missouri was equally inspiring—standing on the very deck where World War II ended felt humbling and historic. Our tour guide, Ernest, was an interesting and engaging addition who shared fascinating stories and insights that brought history to life. Lunch at the Ford Island Aviation Museum was good and provided a nice break in the day. We also appreciated the smooth, on-time flights between Kona and Honolulu with Southwest Airlines—comfortable and well-handled from start to finish. The round-trip bus transportation to and from the airport was convenient, well-organized, and stress-free. Overall, this was a well-planned, educational, and memorable day we’ll long remember.
The tour wasn't cheap - $1171 for two people for less than a six hour tour.
