I thought the hike to Manoa Falls would be easy, but the way there was all uphill, and it was quite muddy. There are several breaks along the way, but I was too focused on watching my feet to enjoy the scenery. The humidity was also quite high.

That said, seeing the waterfall was rewarding. It was truly beautiful. White shoes and light-colored pants are not a good idea.

Lunch at Tantalus Lookout was enjoyable.

マノアの滝までのハイキングと軽く考えていましたが行きはずっと上り坂。それも結構なぬかるみ道。途中何度か休憩がありますが移動中は足もとばかり見ていて景色を楽しむ余裕はなかったです。湿気もかなりあります。
とはいえ滝を見ると達成感はあります。ほんとうにキレイでした。白い靴と色の薄いズボンはNGです。
タンタラスの丘のランチは楽しかったです。

I always participate when I go to Hawaii because it's so much fun. This time, I went with friends, and we had an even more enjoyable time! The staff member Yuka was very friendly and attentive, making sure to engage with everyone. It was impressive how she kindly assisted the children in the family during the photo sessions. The ocean is beautiful, and you can see sea turtles everywhere! They guide you, saying, "Here it is, over here!" My friend can't swim, but she was able to enjoy snorkeling safely while holding onto something like a float, as the staff pulled her along. She was really happy about that!

楽し過ぎてハワイに行くと必ず参加してます。今回はお友達も一緒で更に楽しく盛り上がりました！スタッフのユカちゃん、とてもフレンドリーで声掛けが細やかな可愛いスタッフさんでした。写真撮影はもちろん、ファミリーのお子さんにも優しくフォローしていたのが印象的です。海も綺麗ですし、海亀見放題！ここだよ、ここにいるよ、って教えてくれます。お友達は泳げないのですが浮き輪のような物につかまってスタッフが引っ張ってくれたそうで安心してシュノーケルが楽しめたと喜んでましたよ！

I participated with my 12-year-old son and my 89-year-old mother. The guide spoke entirely in English, and we were the only Asian participants, but everyone was very kind and the captain and crew provided the best hospitality. The views from the boat, the activities, the food, and the service were all wonderful.

During the activities at Kealakekua Bay, we encountered a variety of beautiful fish while snorkeling in the clear water, and we were lucky enough to see a pod of about ten dolphins swimming very close to the boat. There were slides and jumping platforms from the catamaran, allowing both children and adults to have a great time. My son, who had been afraid of going into the deep sea, ended up wanting to try jumping in, showing how he grew stronger under the charm of the beautiful bay.

We only needed to bring towels, as all the equipment like eco-friendly sunscreen, snorkels, fins, and flotation devices were provided.

As for my elderly mother, I believe it was thanks to the large Fair Wind boat that the ride was gentle, allowing her to sit comfortably throughout. During snorkeling, she was able to use a float to stay in the water, with the help of a very kind female crew member who watched over her the whole time.

Throughout the tour, it was clear that all the crew prioritized passenger safety and the protection of the beautiful nature, creating a tour with the best entertainment. There are various similar tours available, but I’m really glad we chose this one. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the Big Island, and we look forward to participating again in the future. Thank you very much for this precious and enjoyable opportunity.

12歳の息子、89歳の母と参加させて頂きました。
ガイドは全て英語で、アジア系の参加者は私たちまけでしたが、とても親切に対応下さり、船長さん、クルーの誰もが最高のホスピタリティでもてなして下さいました。船上からの景色、アクティビティ、お料理、おもてなしなど、どれもが素晴らしかったです。

ケアラケクア湾でのアクティビティでは、美しい透き通った水の中、シュノーケルで多種多様なお魚に出会ったほか、10頭ほどのイルカの群が船のすぐ近くまで泳ぎに来たのに遭遇する事ができました。カタマランから水面へ飛び込む滑り台や、ジャンプ台など、子どもも大人も目一杯楽しむことができます。深い海に行く事を怖がっていた息子も、最後はジャンプに挑戦したくなったと、自然と美しい湾の魅力のもとで強くなった様でした。
持ち物はタオルのみでしたが、サンゴなどの海洋環境に優しい日焼け止めやシュノーケル、フィン、浮き具などの道具は全て貸して頂けました。

もっとも心配していた高齢母については、大きなフェアウィンド号ならではと思いますが、揺れは穏やかで終始座って過ごすことができ、またシュノーケリング時には浮き輪を使用して水に腰をつけさせて頂くことができました。これには、大変親切な女性クルーが手伝い、ずっと見守ってくださいました。

ツアー全体を通して、全てのクルーが、乗客の安全と美しい自然の保護をもっとも大切に、最高のエンターテイメントとともにツアーを作って下さっていることが伝わって来ました。
様々な同様のツアーがございますが、こちらのツアーに参加することができて本当に良かったです。
ハワイ島を訪れる方には、是非おすすめしたいツアー、私たちもまた参加できる時を楽しみにしております。
この度は、とても貴重な楽しい機会を誠にありがとうございました。

I enjoyed the banana boat and bumper tube. It was full of speed and thrills! It felt like the driver was watching our reactions while driving, increasing the speed and making turns along the way, making for an exhilarating experience.

バナナボート＆バンパーチューブを楽しみました。スピード、スリル満点！運転している方はこちらの反応を見ながら運転しているようで、途中、スピードをあげたり、カーブしたり、スリル満点の体験でした。

It's understandable that the bus broke down and the pickup was delayed, but I would have appreciated some communication via email or other means. I was quite worried, thinking that I had made a mistake about the pickup location.

バスが故障して少し迎えが遅れたのは仕方がないですが、メール等で連絡が欲しかった。ピックアップ場所を間違えたと思ってかなり心配しました。

had an amazing time, with an excellent guide. 7yo had blast, very relaxing and went at our pace saw a ton of turtles

10/10 highly recommended doing this. Such an amazing experience.

The return pickup will come about three hours before the flight departure time. They will arrive on time. It's best to wait at the meeting point about 5 to 10 minutes before the pickup time. The shuttle bus is convenient.

復路の迎えは飛行機の出発時間の３時間ほど前に迎えに来てくれます。
ほほ時間通りに迎えに来てくれます。迎えの時間の５～10分位前には待ち合わせの場所で待っていて方が良いです。シャトルバスは楽です。

At certain times, there may not be anyone at the reception counter, but you can easily identify them by the yellow aloha shirt. Due to the order of the hotels, your arrival at the hotel may be delayed, but it is comfortable.

時間帯によっては受付のカウンターに人がいない時がありますが、目印の黄色のアロハシャツですぐにわかります。
ホテルの順番で、ホテルへの到着が遅くなりますが、快適です。

Good things:
1. Surprisingly, the inside of the submarine was spacious.
2. We properly went out to sea and boarded the submarine.
3. Was the submarine moving? Was it being pulled by something? In any case, it moved gracefully.
4. I saw a turtle, which really felt like Hawaii.
5. The fish were beautiful to see.
6. The crew was kind.

Disappointing things:
1. I thought there would be Japanese guidance, but there was none at all...
2. Did I need to install Japanese? I forgot to do that...
3. The meeting point was hard to find.
4. When there are a lot of people inside the submarine, it's difficult to peek out the windows.
5. I wish there were a few more attractions.
6. It would have been more fun if we could see a bit more fish.
7. The price they asked for the final photo was unusually high.

My family and I took the morning tour. We were celebrating 2 birthdays and they made it the best experience. They had donuts, water and coffee as we arrived. The singers did amazing and even sang happy birthday to us! Overall, definitely would do it again. Loved all the activities provided as well.

Excursion to the Kaneohe Sandbar was so much fun. We booked the early session. Plenty of parking with the AM session. Check-in was easy. Staff were well organized and knowledgeable. My family of 2 adults and 4 children ages 11-14 had a blast. We had plenty of time to play on the kayaks, SUP and snorkel. We brought snacks and beverages onboard. Plenty of space to store our beach bag and small cooler.

The dolphin tours were booked so we can watch dolphins. Boy did I spend 500$ for that which got wasted as we did not spot a single one. Very disappointed. My kids were so excited to watch dolphin and we could not. I would not recommend this service to anyone ever.

Great experience, will definitely come back again!

Me and my daughter had the best time on the horseback riding tour. The tour guides were amazing, the views to die for and so much more! We will remember this for years to come!

The staff at North Shore Stables were all very friendly and attentive. The ATV’s were perfect for me and my boys. The course was diverse, interactive and provided for excellent photo opportunities. The course takes you through fields, a quick stop to see and feed animals then down to the beach for the ultimate photo opportunity. This was an excellent family friendly activity, my kids really enjoyed the whole experience. This is an outing for anyone looking for some excitement. I would definitely recommend this activity for a great way to spend a few hours while on Oahu!

Although I couldn't see the sandbar, I was able to encounter many sea turtles and thoroughly enjoy the beautiful ocean. I also tried SAP and had a wonderful time that flew by. The clear sky, transparent sea, and cheerful conductor were all fantastic.

On the way back, I bought a honu keychain and visited Lanikai Beach the next day to see the honu.

I would love to participate again next time!

サンドバーの出現は叶いませんでしたが、ウミガメにも沢山会うことが出来、綺麗な海を満喫させて頂きました。SAPにもトライしてあっと言う間の時間を過ごさせて頂きました。
晴れた空、透き通る海、愉快なコンダクターも最高でした。
帰りにホヌのキーホルダーを買い、翌日ラニケアビーチでホヌに会いに訪れました。

次も参加したいと思います！

The pickup was just on time! Ms. Tamae's explanations and guidance were clear and perfect. After watching the beautiful sunset from the boat, we entered the sea to start manta watching. We could see many mantas swimming, and when they began rolling right in front of us, it was incredibly moving. Even in July, it felt a bit cold underwater at night, so I think it's better to rent a wetsuit.

ピックアップもジャストタイム！
たまえさんの説明や誘導も分かりやすく完璧でした。
ボートから美しいサンセットを見たあと海に入りマンタウォッチング開始。
多数のマンタが泳ぐのが見え、その後目の前でローリングを始めると最高に感動しました。
7月でも夜は少し水中だと寒く感じたので、ウエットスーツは借りた方が良いと思います。

Super fun w/ excellent service and a hilarious crew! Would DEFINITELY recommend and will be back again myself. My son (13) could not get enough of the tube and banana boat rides!!

I was able to see sea turtles and mantas multiple times from the boat. The way the manta slightly raised its wings looked like a greeting and was adorable.

Then it was snorkeling time. My son swam ahead first, and he encountered a relaxed sea turtle, allowing them to swim together for a while. By the time I was called over to see, it had already gone into its hole.

The hamburger was delicious! After snorkeling, it gets cold when the wind hits your wet body, so it's better to have a towel or a jacket (I had a UNIQLO rash guard). They also provided warm drinks (cocoa was popular with the kids).

I got sunburned on my shoulders and calves, which turned "bright red later." Areas that are not usually exposed are prone to sunburn even with sunscreen, so be careful.

船からウミガメやマンタを何度も見ることができました。マンタが両ヒレをちょこっと上げる仕草が挨拶に見えて可愛かった。
そしてシュノーケルタイム。息子が真っ先に泳いで行ったからか、のんびりしていたウミガメに出会いしばらく並泳できたとのこと。私が呼ばれて見に行ったときは穴へ入ってしまったあとでした。

ハンバーガー美味しかったです！
シュノーケル後は濡れた体に風を受けると寒くなるので、タオルや上着（私はUNIQLOのラッシュガード）はあった方が良い。温かい飲み物の提供もありました。（ココアは子どもたちに人気）

日焼けで肩の後ろとふくらはぎが「後から真っ赤」になりました。普段出し慣れていない部位は日焼け止めを塗ってもやられやすいので注意。

Before boarding, I was really nervous, but the staff who love sharks helped ease my anxiety, making the wait enjoyable. Parasailing takes you up into the sky all at once, and that moment feels like an attraction, which is thrilling! But soon, I got to enjoy the incredible view of Waikiki and Diamond Head from above, which was absolutely amazing.

乗船する前はドキドキでしたが、サメが大好きなスタッフさんが、気分をほぐしてくれて待ち時間も楽しかったです。パラセイリングは一気に空へ連れていかれますが‥この瞬間がアトラクションみたいで興奮❗️でもすぐにワイキキやダイヤモンドヘッドを空から見るという最高の景色が味わえて最高でした。

From the moment I entered, the staff kept calling us "Ohana" (which means family in Hawaiian), and they welcomed us as if we were their real family, even giving us flower leis.

The buffet had a wide variety of options, and both the food and drinks were delicious.

I experienced the main show in the grand theater, and even though I'm not very familiar with the history and music of America and Hawaii, I thoroughly enjoyed the stunning performance.

The venue's location is also very convenient, right in the heart of Waikiki. If you visit Hawaii, definitely participate and see the emotional impact for yourself ❤️

入場してからスタッフの皆さんが「オハナ」(ハワイ語の家族という意味)とずっと呼んでくれてて、本当の家族をもてなすような感じで歓迎してくれて、お花ののレイもつけてくれました。

ビュッフェの種類も豊富で、食事と飲み物どれも美味しかったです。

本番のショーを大劇場で体験し、
アメリカとハワイの歴史と音楽には詳しくない私でも、圧巻のパフォーマンスをすごく楽しめました。

会場の立ち位置もワイキキの中心部なので、すごく便利でした。
ハワイに訪れた際ぜひ参加してみて、自分の目でその感動さを確かめてみてください❤️

The Royal Hawaiian Center is on the 4th floor, so the access was excellent and very helpful.

The buffet offerings are the same for both VIP and original options, with not too many varieties, and the taste is just pleasantly good.

The show was very enjoyable, especially since I had a great seat in the center, three rows from the front! They entertained us with a variety of genres, from traditional Hawaiian hula and fire dancing to Michael Jackson. My parents, who are in their 60s, particularly loved it!

I rated the food a 3 and the show a 4.5, giving an overall rating of 4.

Next time I go to Hawaii, I think I will opt for a plan that includes just the show.

I think having a night like this would be fun at least once! The staff was kind, and their desire to entertain us really came through. I can recommend it!

ロイヤルハワイアンセンターの4階なので、
アクセス抜群で助かりました。

ビュッフェの内容は、VIPとオリジナルで変わりません、種類はそこまで多くなく、お味は普通に美味しいなという感じです。

ショーは前から3列目のセンターという、とてもいい席だったということもあり、非常に楽しめました！
フラやファイヤーダンスといったザ・ハワイから、マイケルジャクソンまで、色々なジャンルで楽しませてくれます。
特に60代の両親は大盛り上がりでした！

食事3.ショー4.5で、トータル4の評価にしました。

次ハワイに行ったら、ショーだけのプランで行くと思います。

1日くらいはこういう夜があったら、楽しいかなと！スタッフさんも優しいし、楽しませようという気持ちが伝わりました。おすすめできます！

I participated with my mother, who is in her late 70s, along with my child, making it a three-generation family outing. While snorkeling with life jackets, my mother was able to hold onto a buoy from the co-captain, who spoke Japanese, and was pulled along, allowing her to see sea turtles, which made her very happy.

Thank you very much for your assistance during that time.

Onboard, there were drinks and snacks available, which we enjoyed after coming back from the sea. The spam onigiri, which each person received, was very delicious.

The weather was great, and we encountered sea turtles multiple times, making it a truly valuable experience.

We were able to create wonderful memories of Hawaii.

Thank you! ^_^

70代後半の母を連れて親子孫3世代で参加させていただきました。救命胴衣をつけてのシュノーケルで母は日本語のできる副船長さんの救命浮き棒？のようなものに捕まってずっと引っ張ってもらい、ウミガメを見ることができて大満足していました。
その節は大変お世話になりました。
船内はドリンクやお菓子がおいてあり、海から上がったあとにいただきました。1人1つもらえるスパムおにぎりはとても美味しかったです。
お天気もよくウミガメにも何度も遭遇できて、とても貴重な体験をさせていただきました。
ハワイの素敵な思い出作りができました。
ありがとうございました^_^

The weather is everything. If you've decided to participate in this activity, you should reflect on your daily actions, pray for clear skies, and wait for that day with a pure heart. We fell short in our efforts and ended up with a cloudy day. If you wish to have a pickup, just let them know your hotel, and they will usually come to pick you up nearby. We were staying at the Royal Hawaiian, so we arranged to meet in front of Ross across the street. We took a bus to the pier and then boarded the ship! Onboard, we filled out a liability waiver and set off for about a 20-minute sail. My mother-in-law, who is prone to seasickness, seemed to be in good spirits, which added to the sense of stability. Donuts and drinks are first come, first served. By the time we returned, the donuts were sold out. I have no complaints about the sandbar itself. You can relax on the boat or enjoy kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding. On the day we participated, it was quite windy, and we could hardly see any fish or turtles.

天候が全て。
このアクティビティに参加を決めたなら日々の行いを改めて、晴天を祈り、清い気持ちでその日を待つこと。
私たちは精進が足らず曇りの日となってしまった。
ピックアップを希望する場合は宿泊ホテルを伝えるとだいたい近くに迎えに来てくれる。
私たちはロイヤル・ハワイアンに宿泊していたため、道路向かいのROSS前に待ち合わせだった。
桟橋までバスで移動し、いざ上船！
船上で免責同意書を記載し、20分程度の航行。船酔いしやすい義母も機嫌良さそうだったため、その点も安定感がある。
ドーナツとドリンクは早い者勝ち。帰りにはドーナツは売り切れ。
サンドバー自体にはなんの文句もない。船上でまどろむもよし、カヤックやSUPに興じるもよい。参加日は風が強く、魚や亀はほぼ見えず。

It was really great!
I definitely recommend it!

☆ Positive Points
★ We were blessed with good weather, and it was incredibly beautiful.
★ Even as a first-time snorkeler, I had a lot of fun because it was a shallow area where I could stand comfortably.
★ It was also my first time kayaking, but the staff helped me get on properly, and when I drifted a bit, the captain's boat shouted, "Come back! Keep paddling!" which made me feel reassured.
★ I was worried about seasickness, but I didn't feel it at all.
★ The lunch was very delicious.
★ All the staff were foreigners, but two of them spoke Japanese very well, even able to make jokes, and they were great at explaining and answering questions. Everyone was smiling and it was a really nice team.
★ The music played on the boat was very Hawaiian and really good.
★ When we got out of the water, the captain (a foreign woman) made us warm tea, which was delicious! I appreciated the thoughtfulness!

☆ Negative Points
★ I was expecting to walk on the white sand, but since I joined the afternoon course, it was high tide. I heard from the staff on the boat that you need to join the morning course to walk on the water during low tide. I was disappointed because I had high expectations. I should have checked properly.
★ There were no showers on the boat, just a changing room, but that was still helpful. However, there were only two hooks for hanging things like plastic bags inside the changing room, so it would have been nice to have a basket or something to put our clothes in.

☆ Other
★ As advice, I felt this tour was more suited for adults. There were families with toddlers, and they might have enjoyed it to some extent, but for families with young children, Hanauma Bay, where fish come close to the beach, might be a better recommendation. (This is just my personal opinion.)

☆ Lastly
★ I participated with my daughter in her 20s, and we had a lot of fun! It was really different from Waikiki Beach and Hanauma Bay, and it was great!
I definitely recommend it.
I’m really glad I joined this tour. Thank you very much to all the staff!

とても良かったです！
ぜひオススメです！

☆良かった点
★お天気に恵まれ、すごく綺麗でした。
★シュノーケリング 初めての私でも、足がほどほどにつく 浅瀬だったのでとても楽しめました。
★カヤックも初めてでしたが スタッフの人がちゃんと乗せてくれたし、 少し流された時には 主のボートから「戻って〜！頑張って漕いで〜！」と大きな声で指示していただけて安心でした。
★船酔いも心配でしたが 全くしなかったです。
★ランチもとても美味しかった 。
★スタッフ全員が外人でしたが、2人 日本語が話せる人がいて 冗談も言えるぐらい上手だし、説明や質問もOKだし、全員が笑顔で楽しく とてもいい スタッフでした。
★船内の演奏もハワイらしくて、すごく良かった。
★海から上がった時 暖かい紅茶を 船長さん(外人の女性) が淹れてくれて美味しかった！ 気遣いが嬉しかった！

☆残念だった点
★白砂で海上散歩できると期待してましたが、 私が参加したのは昼からのコースなので満潮。朝からのコースに参加しないと引潮で海上散歩できないと船の中でスタッフに聞きました。 期待していただけに残念。ちゃんと調べておけば良かった。
★船内にシャワーは無く更衣室だけでしたが、 それでも助かりました。 ただ更衣室の中は ビニール袋など 掛けるフックが2つだけなので、 着替え等が置けるカゴなどが置いてあったら有難かったです。

☆その他
★アドバイスとしては、大人向きのツアー かなと 感じました。幼児を連れている人もいて それなりに楽しめたかもしれないけど…幼児連れのご家族なら 砂浜に魚がすぐ寄ってくるハナウマビーチの方が おすすめかもしれません。(あくまで個人的な見解です。)

☆最後に
★20代の娘と2人で参加しましたが とても 楽しめました！ ワイキキビーチ や ハナウマビーチ とはまた違って、すごく良かったです！
是非オススメです。
このツアーに参加してホント良かったです。スタッフの皆様 本当にありがとうございました。

This was an awesome experience, I learned a lot and played a lot! Great people!

Since there were originally four of us, we planned to ride in pairs, but suddenly we became three. I thought we might have to split into a pair and a single, but we were able to ride together as three! It was a great experience!

最初4人だったので、2人ずつで乗る予定でしたが、急遽3人になり、2人と1人で分かれて乗らないとダメかなとは思ったのですが、3人で一緒に乗れました！いい体験が出来ました！

I felt relieved to see the yellow T-shirt as soon as I arrived.
I was also relieved that I could communicate in Japanese.

I was very satisfied with the enjoyable experience along the way!

到着後すぐに見える黄色いTシャツに一安心
日本語が通じることにも一安心

道中も楽しませてくれて大満足です！

I thought everything, from the meals to the crew's service, was perfect!

If you ride on Friday, you can also see fireworks, which is a great deal!

It is a bit pricey, but it's worth experiencing!

食事も船員さんの対応も全てにおいてパーフェクトかなと思いました！

金曜日に乗ると花火も見れてお得です！

値段はしますけど、乗ってみる価値はありますよ！
