Our UTV tour was incredible. Guides were very knowledgeable of Hawaiian culture and history. Reece was hilarious and so welcoming. Highly recommend!

Captain Alan and Casey were exceptional guides and we had the best time. Captain Alan helped my non swimming husband snorkel and experience we never thought we could have together. We saw so many fish and turtles and the sand bar was beautiful. All the gear was in great condition and the crew was fun and friendly. I would do this again a hundred times over.

On the cruise departing from West Oahu at 1:30 PM, our family was the only Japanese participants. The crew only spoke English.

What was great was that we saw whales quite close right after departure, which was lucky. Of course, it wasn't as spectacular as the photos in the advertisements. The crew was friendly and even spoke to us, taking family photos for us. The views from the boat were also fantastic.

A bit disappointing was that we only saw whales three times in the first 30 minutes of the two-hour cruise, and the rest of the time was spent staring at the ocean surface. Considering that there are times when you might not see any whales, I might be being a bit greedy.

With the mindset that seeing whales is just a bonus, I think it would be perfect to enjoy a leisurely cruise off the coast of West Oahu as long as the weather is good.

西オアフから13時30分発の出航のクルーズで参加者の日本人は私たち家族だけでした。クルーも英語しかしゃべりません。
良かったのは、出発してすぐにかなり近くでクジラが見えたこと、これはラッキーでした。もちろん、広告の写真のようにはいきませんが。また、クルーもフレンドリーで日本人の私たちに声をかけてくれて、家族の写真を撮ってくれました。船上からの景色も最高でした。
少し残念だったのは、クジラが見えたのは2時間のクルーズのうち最初の30分くらいに3回だけで、残りは海面と睨めっこで終わったことでしょうか。クジラが見えないこともあるということを思えば、欲張りかもしれませんが。
クジラは見えればラッキーくらいの気持ちで、のんびり西オアフ島沖のクルーズを楽しむには、天候さえ良ければ最高だと思います。

I have no surfing experience and I'm afraid of entering the sea as I'm not a good swimmer, but I was able to truly enjoy riding the waves! I had no fear at all! It was the best experience!

サーフィン経験なし、カナヅチで海に入るのが怖い私ですが、心から波乗りを楽しむことができました！
恐怖心は全くなかったです！
最高の経験ができました！

We had a very enjoyable evening at the old Lahaina. The performers were beautiful, the story was mesmerizing, and the food was fantastic!

I participated in the event that started at 9 AM. There are food and drinks sold at the concession stand. You can store your belongings in a locker with in-and-out access for the day ($5). Instructors provide safety instructions here and there, but generally, you progress on your own. I rode for a solid two hours. The scenery was unbelievably beautiful; it was the best.

朝9時スタートのに参加。売店に食べ物飲み物売っている。一日出し入れ自由のロッカー（5ドル）に荷物を入れる。所々でインストラクターが注意事項を言いながら、基本自分達でどんどん進んで行くスタイル。2時間みっちり乗った。信じられないくらいの素晴らしい景色、最高でした。

Jacob, Lovergirl & Loverboy were great host and great entertainers. We had a wonderful time and enjoyed ever minute. Well worth the time and money.

Stevie and Sage were excellent boatmen. It was very windy and choppy in the bay. The river section of the trip was better. Captain Stevie was very knowledgeable about lots of things and informative.

This time, my 9-year-old son, my husband, my mother-in-law in her 70s, and I participated together. The reception was a bit hard to find as it was located inside the Outrigger Reef Waikiki Beach Resort, across from the ABC Store. However, when I showed the voucher to the hotel staff, they kindly directed me to the reception area. When the time came, the staff gave a brief explanation (in all English), and then we all walked to the dock to board the boat. We were the only Japanese participants, which made us a bit anxious, but there were people from various countries joining us.

Once on the boat, the friendly staff explained snorkeling and talked to us in English. They patiently taught us how to inflate the life jackets, put on the fins, and wear the masks. As we listened to the explanations, we quickly arrived at the snorkeling spot and jumped into the sea! The beautiful ocean and numerous fish were amazing, and we even saw about five sea turtles up close! It was so close that it was surprising!

Additionally, soft drinks (like cola and Hawaiian drinks) and snacks were available for free, so we could eat whenever we felt a bit hungry.

After finishing snorkeling, we didn’t head back immediately but went sailing further out. We enjoyed many scenic views, even reaching the backside of Diamond Head. Sitting on the netting part of the boat while sailing was fantastic. We even spotted a whale, albeit briefly!

We had a very fulfilling time with snorkeling followed by sailing.

Here are some tips for those who will experience this:
1. If you are prone to motion sickness, be cautious as the boat can sway, and the waves during snorkeling can be intense. (I actually took motion sickness medication, but I still felt quite sick and had to return to the boat early. My son and husband, however, did not get sick and enjoyed the entire time.)
2. There are many other tours at the snorkeling spots, so there is a risk of getting separated if you get too absorbed in snorkeling. I made sure to stay close to our boat's staff.
3. Beginners in snorkeling may need to have some stamina. Fortunately, we were okay since we had some experience, but for first-timers, the wave height and moving to different spots might be challenging. However, it was nice that we could choose to return to the boat whenever we wanted.

I’ve mentioned three points, but overall, I am very satisfied!

今回、9歳の息子と私たち夫婦、70代ばあばの4人で参加しました。
受付はアウトリガーリーフワイキキビーチリゾートのホテル入って奥の方のABCストアの向かい側で初めてだと分かりずらいかもですが、ホテルのスタッフの方にバウチャー見せたら受付の場所を教えてもらえました。時間になるとスタッフの方が軽く説明をして（オール英語）、その後みんなで船着場まで歩き船に乗りました。日本人は私たちだけで不安でしたが、みなさん色々な国から参加されていました。
船に乗ると気さくなスタッフの方がシュノーケリングの説明や、色々英語で話してくれました。
ライフジャケットの空気の入れ方や、フィンの付け方、マスクの付け方など丁寧に教えてくれました。
説明を聞いているとすぐにシュノーケリングスポットにつき、いざ海へ！
綺麗な海とたくさんの魚、お目当ての海亀も五匹ほど間近で見れました！近すぎてびっくりするくらい！！
また、ソフトドリンク（コーラやハワイアンドリンク）や、スナックはフリーで食べれるので小腹が空いた時自由に食べれました。

最後シュノーケリングが終わった後はすぐに戻らず、さらに沖の方はセイリング。
ダイヤモンドヘッドの裏側の方までいきたくさんの景色を楽しめました。やっとの網の部分に座ってのセーリングも最高でした。
最後に少しでしたがクジラも見えました！
シュノーケリングの、後のセーリングでとても充実した時間が過ごせました。

以下体験する方へのアドバイス
1、乗り物酔いする方は中々船の揺れや、シュノーケリングの、波も激しいので気おつけてください。（実際私は酔い止め飲みましたが途中で酔いがひどくなり先に船に戻りました。※息子や夫は酔わないので終始楽しんでいました。）
2、他のツアーがスポットにたくさんいるのでシュノーケリングに、没頭するとはぐれる危険性があります。こまめに自分の船のスタッフさんを連れての近くにいるようにしました。
3、シュノーケリング初心者は体力が必要かも。幸い私たちはシュノーケリングをしていたので大丈夫でしたが、初めての方だと波の高さや、スポットに毎回移動するのが困難かも
でも、船に戻りたくなったら先に戻っていいのでそこは自由で自身の判断でよかったです

3点書きましたが総合的には大満足です！

I participated in a day trip from Honolulu. Since it was my first time on Kauai Island, I wanted to visit the famous sights in just one day. Out of the 20 participants, 7 of us, including myself, were on a day trip from Honolulu. It was great that we had enough time at each sightseeing spot to explore leisurely. We also had a nice, relaxed lunch. At the end, there was an accident that caused traffic delays, and I was worried about whether we would make it back in time for our flight. However, the guide reassured us that they were in contact with someone at the main office and had arranged with the airline to ensure that if we missed our flight, we could catch the next one. I really appreciated that. They mentioned that they monitor the traffic conditions and the bus's current location, which made me feel secure knowing that the company operates with such attention to detail.

ホノルルから日帰りで参加。初めてのカウアイ島だったので、取り敢えず有名な見どころを１日で回りたくて参加しました。２０人の参加者のうち私を含めて７名がホノルルからの日帰りでした。見どころ各所で充分な時間がありゆっくりと見学できたのが良かったです。ランチタイムもゆっくりできました。最後に事故渋滞で時間が掛かり帰りのフライトに間に合うかどうかハラハラしましたが、ガイドさんが本社？の人とやり取りしながら、もし万が一乗り遅れても次のフライトに乗れるように航空会社にも頼んでいるので大丈夫ですよと言ってくれたのがありがたかったです。道路の渋滞状況、バスの現在地などを会社でモニターしているとのことでした。細かいところまで気を配りながらきちんとオペレーションしている会社のようで安心です。

I participated in mid-February!
It was rainy, but thanks to that, it wasn't too hot, and I was able to look for whales from the deck.

During the ride to the meeting point, the guide talked a lot about the area and sightseeing, making the trip enjoyable.

On the boat, we were served delicious original cake and coffee before departure, which served as a nice breakfast. The original pineapple banana cake was moist and tasty.

During the whale watching, the guide indicated where the whales were based on the direction of the clock, so there was a high probability of seeing whales multiple times.

Not only did we see whales, but we were also lucky enough to see sea turtles up close!

The view from the boat was also amazing, and I was moved by the beauty of Diamond Head and the horizon.

It became a wonderful memory, and I am very satisfied.

2月中旬に参加しました！
雨模様だったのですがそのおかげで暑すぎることなく、デッキでクジラを探すことが出来ました。

お迎えの車中ではガイドさんがエリアや観光についてたくさん話して下さり、移動も楽しかったです。

船では美味しいオリジナルケーキとコーヒーが出港前に食べられるので、朝ごはん代わりになりました。オリジナルのパイナップルバナナケーキはしっとりしてて美味しかったです。

ホエールウォッチングの最中は時計の方向でクジラがどこにいるかを教えてくれるので殆どの確率で何度かクジラを見ることが出来ます。

クジラだけではなくウミガメも近くで見ることが出来たのでとても幸運でした！

そして船上からの景色も素晴らしく、ダイヤモンドヘッドや水平線の美しさに感動しました。

とても素敵な思い出になり、満足です。

Had an amazing trip. Kind and friendly, locally owned and operated. Would highly recommend.

Thought this was gonna be some lame tubing float down some old ditch but to our surprise... there were freaking long tunnels with shimmering gold and silver inside the walls of the long tunnels, singing and cheering, sweeping turns, great company and a beautiful route! Highly recommend. Ask for Megan.

I took TheBus to the meeting point. It was $7 round trip (since it's $7 for unlimited rides in a day). It's necessary to check in advance how to ride TheBus and how to find routes (you can find bus stops using Google). Upon arriving at the meeting point, you will present your voucher (which is sent via email after booking) for check-in.

Once on board, there was an unlimited supply of fruit cake and coffee (though I couldn't eat that much). As for finding whales, the spouts are a good indicator. I witnessed a few spouts, but they rarely appeared above the water. I participated with the image from the last attached photo in mind, but this time we only managed to see the tail fin to some extent during the whale watching.

集合場所にはTheBusで行きました。往復＄7でOKです（一日＄7で乗り放題なので）。TheBusの乗り方や経路（Googleでバス停が案内可能です）の調べ方は事前に確認が必要です。集合場所に到着するとバウチャー（予約完了後にメールで送られる）を提示して受付となります。
乗船後はフルーツケーキやコーヒーなどは食べ放題、飲み放題でした（そんなに食べられませんが）。クジラの探し方としては、潮吹きが目印となります。何回か潮吹きを目撃しましたが、海上に現れることは少なかったです。添付の最後の写真をイメージして参加しましたが、今回は尾びれを確認できる程度のウォッチング結果でした。

What we signed up for was a nice sunset cruise, and that was wonderful with drinks and food. What was the added bonus was up close and intimate whale watching! Such an incredible time!

They arrived on time, and everything went very smoothly. I felt very secure during the ride to the airport. I would like to make a reservation from here again when I come to Hawaii!

時間通りに来てくれて、とてもスムーズでした。空港までとても安心して乗れました。またハワイにきた時はこちらから予約したいと思います！

I definitely wanted to see this when I came to Hawaii, so I made a reservation. The show was absolutely amazing. It went by in a flash, and I want to see it again.

ハワイに来たら絶対に観に行きたい！と思ってこちらから予約しました。ショーはとても最高でした。あっという間だったので、また観に行きたいです。

They came to pick me up right in front of the hotel, and since the driver and staff spoke Japanese, I felt安心 (at ease). Compared to other shared shuttle companies, they have a lot of destinations, so I think the cost performance is good.

ホテルの目の前まで迎えに来てくれて、日本語ドライバー兼スタッフさんでしたので、安心でした。他の混載送迎の会社に比べて送迎先がたくさんあるので、コスパも良いと思いました。

Unfortunately, the weather was cloudy and the sea didn't look blue. However, before it started, the music was played loudly, and the guide was great at getting everyone excited, making it a very enjoyable memory! Thanks to the weather, I was able to take some good photos of Jaws, which was a nice surprise!

残念ながら天気は曇りで海が青く見えませんでした。でも始まる前に音楽が爆音でかけられてガイドさんも盛り上げ上手でとても楽しいいい思い出になりました！
天気のお陰で逆にジョーズのいい写真が撮れました笑

This was my first time using the service. The transportation to the accommodation was right in front of the entrance, which made it very convenient. The check-in at the airport was easy to understand, and the staff was cheerful and kind, which made me feel at ease. I was also impressed that the bus was equipped to accommodate wheelchair users, showing their commitment to diversity.

今回初めて利用させていただきました。今回の宿泊先の目の前までの送迎だったので、とてもラクでした。空港での受付も分かりやすくスタッフも明るく親切で安心でした。また、車いす利用のお客様に対応したバスだったので、ダイバーシティ対応もできているんだと感心しました。

This was beyond my imagination!!!
I thought it would just be riding a boat and paddling in the sea, but I was completely wrong!
We had six people in a narrow canoe that was about the width of our bodies.
We pushed the canoe out from Waikiki Beach into the ocean ourselves.
Then, we quickly boarded the canoe and paddled out to sea.
In sync with the leader's call, we went one-two.
When the leader said "switch," we changed our paddling from the right side to the left.
On our way out, surfers were waiting for waves.
As we passed by the surfers, we greeted them with a "Yeah!" and a shaka sign.
The cute local surfers in bikinis smiled and returned our "Aloha."
Finally, when we reached the wave waiting point, we turned around and waited for a good wave.
In response to the leader's call of "paddle," we paddled at full speed to pick up the pace.
Once we caught a wave, we moved toward the beach at an incredible speed.
It felt like what surfing must be like, and it was exhilarating.
Wow, it was a more enjoyable experience than parasailing.
I definitely want to try canoe surfing the next time I go to Hawaii.
I regret not knowing about this despite having been to Hawaii multiple times—it's highly recommended!

これは想像以上でした！！！
ボートに乗ってオールを漕いで海に浮かぶだけと思っていたら大間違い！
自分の体の幅ほどの細いカヌーに縦に６人乗り。
自分たちでカヌーを押し出しワイキキビーチから海へ。
そして素早くカヌーへ乗り込み沖に向かってオールを漕ぐ。
リーダーの掛け声に合わせワンツー。
そしてリーダーが「はんたーい」と言えば右側から左側へと漕ぐ場所を変える。
沖まで行く間にはサーファー達が波待ちをしている。
サーファー達の横を通り過ぎる時はイエーいとシャカサインでご挨拶。
ビキニのかわいいロコサーファー達が笑顔でアロハと返してくれます。
そしていよいよ波待ちポイントまで来たらくるっと方向転換していい波を待つ。
リーダーの「こいでー」の掛け声に合わせて猛スピードでオールを漕ぎスピードアップ。
波に乗ったら想像以上の速さで波と共にビーチに向かって進みます。
サーフィンやったらこんな感じなんだと思う体験がここと躍らせます。
いやー。パラセーリングより楽しい体験でした。
ハワイに行ったら必ずカヌーサーフィンやろうと思いました。
ハワイは何回も行っていたのになぜ知らなかったんだろうと後悔するほど超おすすめですよ。

I was looking for activities to do in Hawaii with my 3-year-old, and I thought this would be a good option, so I made a reservation.

First, we took a larger boat to the diving point. During the ride, they pointed out things like, "Look, they're doing whale watching over there!" which made the journey enjoyable! We were also lucky to catch a glimpse of a sea turtle. My child had a great time.

Once we were in the submarine, we spent about 45 minutes underwater. While the adults enjoyed it, my active 3-year-old got a bit bored halfway through, and we ended up showing him a video for the last 10 minutes... (laughs)

However, for the first 15 minutes, he was excitedly saying things like, "The fish are waving at me!" I think it was a memorable experience for him since he even reenacted it during bath time when we got home!

Our family is an international marriage family living abroad, so English wasn't an issue for us. The guide was cheerful and shared jokes and interesting facts, which made it enjoyable, but those who are not confident in English might feel a bit left out. I heard that Japanese audio can be downloaded, but it might not always match what the guide is saying.

Overall, I think it was an activity that families with children can enjoy!

今回3歳連れで、ハワイでできるアクティビティを探していて、これはいいんじゃないかなと思って予約しました。

まず潜水ポイントまで、大きめの船で行きます。その時にも、結構「あそこでクジラウォッチングやってるよ、ほらあの方向」とか結構教えてくれて、その道のりも楽しみました！海亀もチラッと見えてとてもラッキーでした。子供もとても楽しんでいました。

潜水艦に潜ってからは45分ほど。大人は楽しめるのですが、うちの3歳動きたい坊やは途中でちょっと飽きてしまって、残り10半のところでビデオを見せることになってしまいました、、笑

でも初めの15分は「お魚さんが手振ってるー」とか言って楽しんでいる様子でした。
家に帰ってからもそれをお風呂で再現したりしているので、きっと心に残った経験だったんだろうなと思っています！

我が家は国際結婚ファミリーで、海外在住なので英語は問題なかったのですが、ガイドが陽気な方で、ジョークをとばしたりうんちくを言ってくれるので、楽しめましたが英語が苦手な方は置いてけぼり感があるかもしれません。日本語オーディオがダウンロードできるとのことでしたが、ガイドが話していることとは必ずしも一致しないと思います。

総じて、子連れで楽しめるアクティビティだったと思います！

We loved the ease oahu brought with tours like these where everything is covered for you!

My family had a great time, it is early in the morning so just make sure to have your muscles read nice and early!

We had such a great day on the sandbar, with the easy swimming and clear water alongside fun extras the boat provides!

Fabulous show, chief was hilarious as always, and the family loved it! Will come back again!

really loved this hike, considerably easy while very immersive and out of the waikiki hustle and bustle!

our kids did not stop smiling, plus the guides are so funny while knowledgeable!

immersive experience in the big island waterfalls on horseback, unbeatable!

Took my mom as she shares her bday with elvis, so we had to go all out! the rew treated us like ohana, thank you so much!!
