We participated as a family of four (two adults and two elementary school children). We took a boat to the Fern Cave. During the round trip on the boat, there were explanations, songs, and dances about the Fern Cave, which were enjoyable. However, everything was in English, so there were parts we didn't understand. Visiting the Fern Cave on January 1st made us feel a sense of sacredness.

家族4人(夫婦と小学生2人)で参加しました。
シダの洞窟までは船で行きます。往復の船の中では、シダの洞窟の説明や歌、ダンスなどがあり楽しめます。ただし、すべて英語なので、わからないところもありました。
１月１日にシダの洞窟に行けて、神聖な気持ちになりました。

This trip was so much fun! All of the staff was so friendly and helpful! You really felt like royalty enjoying the island. The music on the way out to the sand bar had the whole boat singing and dancing. The SUP's and floating lounge were an awesome, not extra cost addition to the adventure. Looking forward to our next journey with this awesome crew!

I was happy to encounter sea turtles, and the Japanese guide was kind and fun! The fish were honestly average, but I was glad to see the turtles!

海亀に出会えたところと日本人の案内の方が優しく楽しくよかったです！
魚は正直普通でした笑
でもカメに出会えたのでよかったです！

Since I was alone, I opted for the premium experience to fully enjoy it, and I'm glad I chose the front stage! The fire dance was also impressive.

1人だったのでしっかり楽しむためにプレミアムにしましたが、目の前のステージにしてよかったです！
ファイヤーダンスも迫力ありました

The water park has slides that are different from those in Japan, and both adults and children can enjoy it! The food was also great, featuring American cuisine, which was a nice touch.

I had reserved a cabana in advance, and it was definitely the right decision!

There was quite a bit of free space available, but since I went with children, having a designated area felt safer.

I went with kids aged 6, 4, and 3, and there were areas where even the youngest could have fun, so we were very satisfied! There were few Japanese people, which allowed us to really experience the local atmosphere!

I recommend going on a Saturday when they are open from 10 AM to 8 PM!

日本のウォーターパークとは一味違ったスライダーがあり大人から子どもまで楽しむことができました！食事もアメリカンフードが楽しめるので、その点も良かったです^_^
ガバナを前もってレンタル予約していましたが、予約していて正解でした！

フリーのスペースもかなり多くありましたが、子ども連れで行ったので専用の方が安心でした。

子どもは6歳.4歳.3歳で行きましたが、下の子も楽しむ事のできるエリアもあり大満足！
日本人も少なくて現地を感じれました！

10時〜20時まで営業している土曜日に行くのをオススメします！

We just did the show part and enjoyed it very much. We had a party of. 10 with 4 children ages 4-10. We all enjoyed ourselves, great show!

It wasn't as scary as I thought, and the scenery was amazing. There was someone in the same group who got sick. The boat sways quite a bit, so it's better to take motion sickness medication. Although I didn't get sick, there were others who looked unwell. It seems customary to give a tip when getting off the boat. I was disappointed when I was told that they couldn't take my photo because the camera battery died.

思ったよりも怖くなく景色が最高でした。
同じグループで吐いてしまった人がいました。
船がかなり揺れるので、酔い止めは飲んだ方がいいです。吐いてはいないけれど他にも気分が悪そうな人がいました。
船を降りる時にチップを渡すのが普通みたいです。
写真を頼んでいたのに、カメラのバッテリー切れで撮れなかったと言われた時は残念でした。

Crew was entertaining and extremely helping in making the trip safe and fun, wil book again on our next trip

We loved this so much, the sandbar is like the most amazing pool with turquoise waters and stunning views. I highly recommend adding this to your next trip to Oahu. The staff and captain were not only very nice but extremely knowledgeable so we felt very safe at all times.

We participated as a group of three.
First, the boat ride to the point had high waves, which added to the thrill of the attraction.
I didn't expect all three of us to ride together, so I was a bit flustered. It was nice to know that we could hold our smartphones while jumping, and the footage we captured became a great memory.
Since it was a windy day, two out of the three of us got seasick. Please be careful about the position of the belt, as it can get uncomfortable.
It was a fun experience that you don't get to have often.

３人で参加しました。
まずポイントに行くまでのボートも波が高くてアトラクション感がありました。
３人で同時に乗れるとは思ってなかったので少し慌てました。スマホを持って飛んでもいいとの事で飛び上がって撮った映像が良い記念になりました。
この日は風が強かったため３人中２人が船酔いしました。苦しくなるのでベルトの位置に注意して下さい。
なかなか出来ない経験なので楽しかったです。

Our first times...suprisingly not what we expected, it was MORE than! Had so much fun and maybe we'll take another cruise soon.

We were visiting Maui for our 50th Wedding Anniversary and celebrating with our 4 children and spouses and 7 Grandkids - 16 total. We wanted a small boating trip that would accomodate everyone's individual ideas of a snorkeling trip - not too long, too many people, too choppy, etc. Then I found Aloha Blue charters online, it sounded perfect. They had a 2 hour private afternoon boat trip available for a reasonable price for the whole boat. Our Captain Larry and assistants Jeren and Sienna were a delightful team that made our trip very memorable. 13 of us were in the water for a little over an hour enjoying the underwater sealife and the others watched and enjoyed themselves on board. I would recommend this "customized" trip (2-4 hours - snorkeling, sightseeing and/or fishing) to all families visiting Maui that don't want what is offered on most of the more expensive trips advertised. We will book again on a return visit. Thanks!, Vicki and Jack

We had a great time on this excursion. It was one of the best that we've done in Oahu. The highlights of the trip were spotting many turtles (at least a dozen), playing volleyball on the sandbar, and snorkeling at the reef. On top of that, the staff was very friendly and helpful.

I will be recommending this to anyone I meet who is going to visit Oahu.

Fantastic adventure and great staff. Perfectly organized. A most do.

One of the best experiences I have ever had. We have snorkeled and saw so many fishes. Like the crystal clean water and kayaking ., what else ., a complete package with live music and drink.

I had mistakenly made a reservation for the wrong date, but the staff's response was absolutely wonderful. Many of the staff members understood Japanese, and the service was really good. However, the content of the dinner started with a salad dressed with a tangy dressing, the olive oil for the bread also had balsamic vinegar, the pasta was tomato-flavored with a tangy taste, and the steak was served with a balsamic vinegar sauce... it was a parade of sour flavors that I didn't prefer. The asparagus served with the steak was also very tough at the base. Waikiki is expensive, so I understand, but as a Japanese person, I felt that the content for two people at 30,000 yen, especially with the yen's depreciation at 160 yen, was not justified. It was crowded, so the dessert also took a long time to come out, and I declined it. The staff was very kind, saying that takeout was also available. Thank you very much.

日にちを間違えて予約していたので、直前に変更して頂いたりと、
スタッフの方の対応は最高に素晴らしかったです。
日本語がわかるスタッフの方も多く、接客は本当に良かったです。
ただ、ディナーの内容が、
酸味の効いたドレッシングのサラダに始まり、
パンにつけるオリーブオイルもバルサミコ酢入り、
パスタはトマト味で酸味が効いており、
ステーキもバルサミコ酢のソース。。と、
酸っぱいオンパレードで好みではありませんでした。
ステーキの付け合わせのアスパラガスも根元がカチカチのもの。
ワイキキは物価が高いので仕方ありませんが、１６０円の円安のせいもありますが、
飲み物別で二人で3万円の内容ではないと感じてしまう日本人です。
混んでいたので、デザートも出てくるのが遅かったので、お断りしました。
お持ち帰りもできますよ、とスタッフの方はとても親切でした。
ありがとうございました。

At Sandbar, there was one SUP available for each group, and my family of three quickly took on the challenge of our first SUP experience. At first, it was difficult to maintain balance, but after several attempts, we managed to stand up. I think we were out there for about 30 minutes, but the time flew by.

After that, we went snorkeling, following our guide to see the sea turtles. We encountered large turtles resting on the rocks and others swimming, which was amazing. Additionally, we could freely drink water, coffee, tea, and enjoy apples and snacks on the boat. The only limit was one Spam per person.

The prices felt a bit high due to the weak yen, but it was a fantastic experience overall. The crew members were all very friendly, which made it even better.

サンドバーでは1組に1つ程度のSUPが用意されていて、早速家族3人で初めてのSUPにチャレンジしました。
最初はバランスを取るのが難しかったですが、何度かチャレンジするうちに何とか立てるようになりました。
30分くらいだったと思いますがあっという間に時間が経ってしまいました。
そのあとはシュノーケリングでガイドさんの後を着いてホヌを見に行きました。岩場で休んでいる大きなホヌや泳いでいるホヌにも出会うことができて最高でした。
また、船内の水、コーヒー、紅茶、りんご、お菓子などは自由に飲んだり食べたり出来ます。スパムだけは1人1個でした。
料金は円安でちょっと高めに感じましたがとても良い体験でした。クルーの方々も感じの良い方ばかりでとても良かったです。

Driving the buggy myself was fun. We stopped several times to take photos at movie locations, and they took some great pictures. The distance between vehicles is quite strict.

バギーを自分で運転して楽しかった。何度か止まって映画のロケーションで撮影をしてくれるのですが、いい感じの写真を撮ってくれます。
車間距離に結構シビアです。

We Had a fabulous evening, great shows and food was fantastic

The guidance was in English, but there were no issues. I was able to see dolphins and honu (sea turtles). Departing from the Sheraton beach made the travel easy.

英語での案内でしたが、
問題無かったです。
イルカやホヌも見る事ができました。
シェラトンのビーチからの出航で
移動も楽でした。

We had a great time watching the sunset sipping our drinks and talking to tourists about this amazing place. Everything went very smoothly on the boat, we were given great pointers about the boat and where to sit. Will do this again with my family. Thank you for a wonderful time!!

Unfortunately, only morning slots were available for reservation, and sadly the sandy beach did not appear, but we were still able to enjoy ourselves in the shallow waters with the SUP and inflatable rings that were available for rent!

The crew members were very kind, and I appreciated their efforts to communicate with us, even though we didn't understand English well.

We also received one spam rice ball per person, and there were plenty of snacks and a variety of drinks available. The warm beverages were perfect for our chilled bodies!

It was my first experience with SUP, and since it was in shallow waters, it was a lot of fun. My daughter also tried it for the first time and had an amazing time!

Next time, I would like to go when the sandy beach is available! Additionally, we encountered a sea turtle on the way, and on the return trip, we visited a coral reef shaped like a heart.

Thank you to all the crew members!

午前便しか予約が空いてなくて、残念ながら砂浜は出現しませんでしたが、それでもSUPや浮き輪が貸してもらえるので浅瀬で楽しく過ごせました！
またクルーの皆さんがとても優しくて、英語の分からない私たちにも必死で伝えるようにしてくれているのがありがたかったです。
そしてスパムおにぎりが1人1個もらえて、さらにスナック類などもたくさんあり、飲み物も種類があります。暖かい飲み物も充実しているので冷えた身体に最高でした！
SUP初体験でしたが、浅瀬なのでとても楽しかったです。娘も初めてでしたが、めちゃくちゃ楽しんでいました！
次は砂浜の出るときに行ってみたいです！
あと行く途中でウミガメに会えましたし、帰りにはハートのカタチの珊瑚礁のところにも行ってくれました。
クルーの皆さん、ありがとうございました。

We took the ferry over to the neighboring island of Lana’i and spent the day there. Our awesome tour guide, Clive regaled us with stories of his life there on Lana’i and took us to the Garden of the Gods (looks like Mars landscape), then checked out Shipwreck Beach, visited the Cat Sanctuary and then spent the rest of the afternoon in Hulopo’e Beach.Thank you to Clive for bring friendly, knowledgeable and making us feel like ohana!

Aloha! Do not hesitate to book this excursion! Everything about this experience exceeded my expectations. The staff were all so gracious and professional. Pack plenty of water and snacks. We took our waterproof , bluetooth speaker as well. Be prepared to paddle , take breaks when needed . Be aware of jellyfish as well. Maybe wear long sleeves, and leggings just to be cautious. Mahalo

I participated in snorkeling and relaxing at a beautiful beach. After arriving at the shop, I received explanations and safety instructions from the staff member Natsue, and then quickly rented a bicycle along with an optional snorkeling set and mat to head to Lanikai Beach, which has been ranked number one in the U.S. It took about 10 minutes by bike. The beach was quiet with few people, and it was truly beautiful. While snorkeling, I was able to see many tropical fish around the coral even close to the shore. Unfortunately, I didn't encounter any honu (sea turtles), but it's said that you might see them if you're lucky.

I spent the morning at Lanikai Beach and returned to the shop for lunch. From the lunch options, I chose pizza and loco moco. The pizza was very large and delicious.

In the afternoon, I rented a beach chair and went to Kailua Beach. This beach had facilities like showers and restrooms, and there were families enjoying the seawater. I placed my beach chair in the shade of the trees along the shore and relaxed while occasionally going into the water until it was time to head back.

If you have any questions while you're there, you can ask the staff member Natsue, and she will help you. Fortunately, the weather was also great, and I had a wonderful time. I recommend this place for those who want to enjoy a quiet and beautiful beach.

綺麗なビーチでシュノーケリング＆のんびりしたく参加しました。
お店に到着後、スタッフのなつえさんから説明や注意事項を聞き、すぐに自転車とオプションのシュノーケリングセット、ゴザを借り全米で一番になったこともあるラニカイビーチへ。自転車で１０分ほどです。人も少なく、静かで本当に綺麗なビーチでした。シュノーケリングをしましたが、海岸近くでも珊瑚の周りに熱帯魚を沢山見ることが出来ました。残念ながらホヌ（海亀）には出会うことは出来ませんでしたが、運が良ければ出会えるそうです。

午前中をラニカイビーチで過ごし、お店に戻りランチ。選べるランチの中からピザとロコモコを選びました。ピザはとても大きく美味しかったです。

午後はビーチチェアを借りてカイルアビーチへ。こちらはシャワーやトイレなどの設備があり家族連れで海水浴される方がいらっしゃいました。
海岸の木陰にビーチチェアを置き、時々海に入りながら、帰りの時間までのんびりと過ごしました。

現地で分からないことがあれば、スタッフのなつえさんに聞けば解決できました。
運良く天気にも恵まれ楽しめました。
静かで綺麗なビーチで遊びたい方にはお勧めです。

It was a condensed plan! The Kaneohe Bay cruise included a shuttle bus to the boat, which was an activity in itself, and it felt refreshing with the windows wide open. We rode on two types of boats, walked on the island, and the sea was beautiful. We were able to see coral reefs and honu in the shallow waters, and everywhere we looked was a photo opportunity; it was all so beautiful and thoroughly enjoyable.

The movie location bus tour had us boarding at the end, so our family of four ended up sitting separately... But in a way, it allowed us to interact with tourists from overseas. There was only one other Japanese group besides us.

The bus driver and guide performed a hula dance at the end, and it was incredibly moving! Even without a costume, there was an instant beautiful aura. I felt that this dance was a prayer.

My teenage son said he wants to experience something more active next time, like horseback riding or buggies, but my grandmother in her 70s was very happy with everything. We also bought the photos taken before the tour as a keepsake on our way back. I highly recommend it.

凝縮されたプランでした!
カネオヘ湾クルーズは、船までの送迎バスもアクテビティのひとつ、窓全開で爽快でした。船も2種類に乗り、島を歩くし、海も綺麗、浅瀬ではサンゴ礁やホヌも見ることができて、道中、どこをとっても、全ての景色がフォトチャンス、綺麗で、大満喫でした。
映画ロケ地バスツアーは、最後に並んで乗り込んでしまったので、家族4人がばらばらの相席に‥。それもそれで、海外からの観光客と、交流できたように思います。日本人は、私たちの他に1組だけいらっしゃいました。
バスのドライバー兼ガイドさんが、最後に、フラを踊ってくれたのですが、その踊りが、大変感動的でした！衣装をきてなくても、一瞬で美しいオーラに。この踊りは祈りなんだなと、感じました。
10代の息子は次は、馬とかバギーとかアクティブなものを体験したいと言ってましたが、70代の祖母は、どれも大変喜んでました。ツアー前に撮ってもらった写真も、帰りに記念に買ってきました。お勧めです。

I visit Hawaii every year, but this was my first time seeing RockAHula. The Mai Tais and food were even better than I imagined! In between meals, we enjoyed hula dancing, ukulele music, and singing. Both Japanese tourists and locals were having a great time.

From the VIP seats, we were able to watch the show right in the front, enjoying hula and Hawaiian songs, including Elvis and Michael's performances. The engaging production made the time fly by! I highly recommend seeing it at least once.

ハワイには毎年訪れていますが、今回初めてRockAHulaを観ました。
想像以上にマイタイも食事も美味しくいただきました！食事の合間にはフラダンスやウクレレ、歌で楽しめました。日本人もローカルの方も色々な方が楽しまれていました。
VIP席ではショーを1番前で観ることができ、フラやハワイアンソングのプレスリー、マイケルの歌を堪能できました。飽きさせない演出であっという間に時間が過ぎました！
一度は観ることをおすすめします。

It was a lot of fun to return to my childhood and try various things after a long time. The shops outside had many different items compared to Waikiki, and shopping was enjoyable as well. I want to go again!

久々に童心に返りいろんな事に挑戦したりととても楽しかったです。
外のショップもワイキキとは違う物が沢山売っていて買い物も楽しかったです。
また、行きたいです！

It's an early morning tour, so snorkeling starts at 9 AM. Even in Hawaii, it's cold. It was that cold in June, so winter will be even colder. If possible, a thin wetsuit is recommended; if not, a long-sleeve rash guard is essential. Also, please make sure to wear marine shoes in areas with lots of fish. Additionally, no Japanese is spoken at all, and all pickup locations and times are in English, so those who can't speak English might want to reconsider.

朝が早いツアーなので
９時からシュノーケリングになり
ハワイといえども寒いです
６月であれだけ寒かったので
冬はもっと寒いでしょう
できれば薄手のウェットスーツ
なければ長袖ラッシュは必須
あと、魚がたくさんいる場所は
マリンシューズも絶対履いてください。
あと日本語は一切通じないし
ピックアップ場所や時間も全て英語なので
英語できない人はやめた方がいいかも

I use it almost every time. I've also used taxis and Uber, but with advance reservations, there's almost no waiting time. There's no need to worry about tips, and for round trips to the airport, this is the only option for me.

ほぼ毎回利用しています。
タクシーやuberを利用したりもしましたが、事前予約で待ち時間もほぼなし。チップの心配もなく、空港への往復はこちら一択です。
