The crew were nice and funny. The experience was fun, my wife loved it. Haven't get to check out the pictures yet since I have an android phone. The pictures are for an extra $40 and they give you the sd card.

Both instructors were friendly and I was able to warm up to them quickly. They provided a summary of the video content in Japanese before we entered the ocean, and it was clear that they genuinely love the nature of Hanauma Bay. It seemed like they were well-acquainted with the reception and traffic management staff, which added to my sense of security.

I have visited Hanauma Bay twice before as an individual, not for activities, but I think first-timers should definitely take advantage of this activity, and even those returning for a second time or more will find it enjoyable.

インストラクターのお二人とも親しみやすくて、すぐに打ち解けられました。海に入る前に観る映像の内容を事前に日本語で要約してくださって、またハナウマ湾の自然を心から愛していることが伝わってきました。受付や交通整理の人にも顔がきくようで、安心感もありました。
これまでハナウマ湾には2回アクティビティではなく個人で来たことがありましたが、初めての方はこちらのアクティビティを利用された方がいいと思いますし、2回目以降の方も楽しめると思います。

We enjoyed Toa Luau so much! Our children, 2 & 4, had a wonderful time as well. The cast/crew are the same people running the activities before the meal, and serving the meal, then putting on a great show - their hard work and enthusiasm is inspiring <3 I noticed their attention to detail in how smoothly the check-in, meal, and all the transitions went. Highly recommend!

Even though I was overseas, time seemed to move on as usual here. Before getting on the boat at Kaneohe Bay, we encountered a heavy rainstorm, and I thought the trip might be canceled. However, we went ahead despite the rain. My umbrella, which was meant to be a sunshade, ended up being used mainly as a rain umbrella. It was so cold that I felt the chill was more overwhelming than the rain season itself.

It was really fun to have the tour guide take pictures of us at the movie filming locations!

海外なのに、此処はあえて時間通りに進んだ
カネオヘ湾のボートに乗る前に、凄い雨にあったので、中止？かと思いきや、雨の中、決行
日傘兼用なのに、主に雨傘となり雨季なのだ〜と思ったくらいかえって寒さの方が勝った位でした

映画撮影ポイントもツアーガイドさんにも写真を撮ってもらい本当にたのしかったで〜す

I was able to see incredibly beautiful scenery from the sky! On the day of the flight, the wind was very strong, which was quite scary, but it was a great experience. The staff at the reception spoke a little Japanese, but the crew on the boat did not speak any, so I didn't understand a single word of the explanation before the flight.

It was written in Japanese at the reception that you should tell the crew about the photo service once you get on the boat, but there wasn't really a good timing to mention it, and the group that didn't communicate anything missed out on getting their photos taken. We were giving off a strong "please take our photo" vibe, and just before we took off, the crew asked us, "Photo?" so we were able to request it somehow.

とっても綺麗な景色を空から見ることが出来ました！
当日は風がとても強く、かなり怖かったですがとてもいい体験ができました。
受付の方は少しだけ日本語が通じましたが船の添乗員さんは全くだったので、飛ぶ前の説明は一言も分かりませんでした。
写真のサービスは船に乗ったら添乗員さんに言ってくださいと受付に日本語で書いてありましたが、言うタイミングは特になく、何も伝えていなかったグループは撮ってもらえてなかったです。
私たちは撮って欲しいオーラをすごく出していたら飛ぶ直前に添乗員さんに"フォト？"と聞かれたのでなんとかお願いすることができました。

We had a very fun time on our tour. Chris, our tour guide was fabulous. We learned so many facts about the filming of some of the movies. It was a very enjoyable experience.

So much fun to receive our Leo upon arrival! We received so many compliments and questions asking where we got it!

I waited for over 30 minutes at a very crowded meeting point without any announcements. However, once we got on the bus, it was the usual fun tour. Thanks to the crew's support, my 80-year-old grandmother had a great time!

すごく混み合っている集合場所でアナウンスもないまま30分以上待たされました。でも、バスに乗ってからはいつもの楽しいツアー。80歳のおばあちゃんもクルーのサポートのおかげでたっぷり楽しめました！

This was so amazing and fun. The crew was top notch! We will definitely do this on all return trips to the island.

I was able to see sea turtles up close, and it was impressive and very beautiful. Jamie was fluent in Japanese, which was surprising given their appearance, and they were very kind and helpful to the children. The kids were also very happy. I want to go back to the heavenly sea again next year.

海亀を身近で見られて、迫力があって、とてもキレイでした。
ジェイミーが見た目と違い日本語ペラペラで、とても親切で、子供に良くしてくれ助かりました。
子供も大喜びです。
来年もまた天国の海に行きたいです。

We loved our snorkeling experience, our guides were always friendly and helpful. I had my two children with me with varying abilities and the guides were easily able to accommodate for them. We had a fantastic experience.

Fantastic day of sightseeing the island Branndon was exceptional in telling us history of the island and the sights we saw our driver was exceptional also very adept driver. Would recommend this tour to anyone thank you for the service you supplied

Very good scenery .

Everything from the transportation from our hotel with our driver/tour guide Kaplan, to our cruise and adventure with Captain Jason and his crew were fantastic! They were knowledgeable about the reef and sandbar, and were clearly passionate about its care. Snorkeling was great, and they took great care of those that couldn't swim well or needed extra help with the equipment. The activities on the sandbar were fun, and the ability to chill on the boat and enjoy the provided snacks & beverages was nice as well. In the way back to our hotel, Kaplan stopped to let us get Malasadas at Leonard's! Highly recommended... 10 out of 10!

awesome experience. wish would have made this top of list after arrival in honolulu. would have found so many more places visit and see at ground level!

I finally got to visit Manoa Falls, which I had wanted to see for a long time. I signed up for a Japanese tour, but I was the only Japanese person there. However, the guide was Japanese, and even the English explanations were very easy to understand.

The hike was quite tough, and the walking stick they lent me was very helpful. I wore long sleeves and long pants, but I was sweating a lot along the way. I wanted to take them off, but I was afraid of getting bitten by mosquitoes, so I endured it.

My shoes ended up muddy. There is a place to wash them, so you can get some of the dirt off, but they won't get completely clean, so I think it's best to wear shoes that you don't mind throwing away.

For lunch, we ate on Tantalus Hill while looking at Diamond Head and Waikiki. The view was much nicer than at night.

The sandwich was very delicious. It was from the sandwich shop next to the Starbucks in Manoa.

I'm glad I had such a fun experience.

ずっと来たいと思っていたマノア滝にやっと行けました。日本語ツアーで申し込みましたが、日本人は私のみ。ですが、ガイドの方が日本の方で英語の説明でもとてもわかりやすく私でも理解できました。
ハイキングは割とキツく、杖を貸して頂いたのがとても役に立ちました。長袖長ズボンで行きましたが、途中で汗だく。でも脱いだら蚊に刺されそうだったので我慢しました。
靴は泥まみれになります。洗う場所もあるので少しは土が落とせますが、ちゃんと綺麗にはならないので捨てても良い靴で行くと良いと思います。
ランチはタンタラスの丘でダイヤモンドヘッドやワイキキを見ながら食べます。夜のタンタラスよりもずっと素敵な景色です。
サンドイッチがとても美味しかったです。
あのマノアのスタバのお隣のサンドイッチ屋さんのものでした。
楽しい経験ができて良かったです。

Since we participated as a family of four, this is my second post, but we enjoyed the thrill and excitement in a freedom that can't be experienced in Japan! It is somewhat pricey, but I think it was worth it! If I have the chance to visit Hawaii again, I would like to participate again♪

4人家族で参加したので、2度目投稿ですが、
日本では味わえない自由の中でスリルとワクワクが楽しめました！
それなりのお値段ではありますが、
参加して良かったと思います！
またハワイを訪れる事があったら参加したいと思います♪

It wasn't bad. However, I wonder about being asked for a tip for the conductor at the end of the tour. It would be more acceptable for someone like me, who is Japanese and not accustomed to tipping, if the tip was included in the total price from the beginning.

悪くは無かったです。但し、ツアーの最後にコンダクターへのチップを請求されるのは、如何なものかと思います。それなら、最初からチップ代金込みで代金を組成した方が、チップ習慣が無い日本人としては納得できると思います。

It was nice. The staff enjoyed educating on your surroundings The staff were very friendly and attentive. If you're looking for a fun time.... I wouldn't call it fun... nice and relaxing is what it was. We realized on this trip that this was geared more for kids and elderly.

This was such a fun and entertaining experience. The food choices were great and did not disappoint. The staff were very attentive during the dinner. After the dinner, we went into the theater to watch the performances. We enjoyed every single performance from the traditional Hawaiian dances to the Elvis and Micheal Jackson impersonators. One of our favorite parts is how they incorporated original pictures of Hawaii during the show. We will definitely do it again!

About 60 km from the hotel in Waikoloa, after passing Honokaa and driving for a while, we arrived at the ranch, which took about an hour. We hopped into a two-person buggy and started our adventure. First, we drove through the mountain course, encountering ducks, cows, and horses for an hour. After returning to the office, we took a break and enjoyed freshly picked pineapple to recharge, then spent the second hour on the coastal course. We could switch drivers at any time, which added to the thrill. On the way back, we were satisfied after eating the famous Malasada at Tex Drive In.

ワイコロアのホテルから約６０ｋｍ、ホノカア過ぎてしばらく行くと牧場に到着、約1時間のドライブでした。2人のりバギーに乗り込みスタート。まずは山岳コースでアヒル、牛、馬と出会い、1時間ドライブ。事務所に戻り休憩、取り立てパイナップルを食べて鋭気を養い、後半は海岸コースを1時間。ドライバーの交代は随時可能でスリル満点でした。帰りはテックス・ドライブインで名物のマラザダを食べて満足しました。

Fantastic afternoon. Well organised, super friendly and had alot if patience with my 10 year old as it was his first time on a ATV. Tracks are well designed. Highly recommend also a bonus we got some good insight to local knowledge and information on the island.

The weather was unfortunately a bit cold, but the sandbar was beautiful, and we were greeted by sea turtles. We saw many more sea turtles afterward, and it was fun to encounter a lot of fish while snorkeling. They also ensured our safety thoroughly. The lunch was delicious as well. I am grateful to Yuki and the captain.

あいにくの天気で多少寒かったですが
それでもサンドバーは美しく、ウミガメが
出迎えてくれました。
その後も沢山のウミガメが見られ、
シュノーケリング中多くの魚と出会い楽しかったです。安全にも万全を期していただきました。
ランチも美味しかったです。
ユキさんと船長に感謝です。

Here are a few points to keep in mind for your reference! First, during Golden Week, it might still be a bit chilly to go into the water. I had a towel in my belongings, but I forgot it on the day, but it was okay since they were selling them at the shop. If you took commemorative photos, please go to the blue building (next to the sea lions) after the activity to pick up your photos. It seems that some people forget to take them home. There is one Japanese guide in the park who can teach you various things if you need assistance. The dolphin show starts at 12:30, but it overlaps with lunchtime. You can order takeout from the restaurant and eat while watching the show. The restaurant is somewhat pricey. For the round-trip tour, the return time was not written on the voucher. Please make sure to confirm the pickup time at the initial counter. The bus usually arrives about 20 minutes before the gathering time. It was a different bus than the one I took on the way there, so please talk to the driver to confirm. They will check your passport on the way back, so make sure to take a photo of it on your smartphone! By the way, the bus on the way there also arrived early. Once the group is gathered, it departs immediately. Although it was my first time and I was a bit confused, it turned out to be a fun experience.

気をつけることを何点残しますので、ご参考までに！まずGWはまだ水に入るのにはまだ肌寒いかもしれません。持ち物にタオルがありますが、当日忘れてしまいましたが、ショップに売っていたので大丈夫でした。記念写真を撮った方は、アクティビティ終了後にブルーの建物（アシカの隣）へ、写真を受け取りに行ってください。忘れて帰ってしまう方がチラホラいるみたいです。園内に日本人のガイドさんが1人いらっしゃいます。その方がいれば色々教えて下さいます。イルカのショータイムが12時半からでしたが、昼時と重なりますが、レストランでテイクアウトにして、ショーを見ながら飲食ができます。レストランはまぁまぁお高いです。ツアーの往復送迎ありは、帰り時間がバーチャーに書いてありませんでした。最初のカウンターで必ずピックアップ時間を確認しておいてください。バスは集合時間の20分前ぐらいには到着していました。行きに乗ったバスとは違いましたので、ドライバーに話しかけて確認してください。帰りはパスポートの確認をされます。必ずスマホで写真を撮っておいてくださいね！ちなみに、行きのバスも早めに到着していました。人数が集まったら即出発します。初めてでちょっと戸惑いながらも、楽しい経験になりました。

I was looking forward to the activity.
Shortly after departure, we encountered a pod of dolphins!
I'm not a great swimmer, but I was able to enjoy snorkeling without any issues, and I also got to see a sea turtle!
The staff were all lively, and there were Japanese people among them, so I felt安心して楽しめました!
Thank you very much.

楽しみにしていたアクティビティ。
出港してまもなくイルカの群れに出会えました！
泳ぎは苦手ですがシュノーケリングも問題なく楽しめ、ウミガメを見ることもできました！
スタッフの方みんな賑やかで日本人の方もいたので安心して楽しめました！
ありがとうございました。

It was really fun. the staff were very nice and the live band was so fun! 10/10 experience! Everyone was so friendly

This was an excellent experience from start to finish! Dan promptly picked us up from our hotel and took us to Hanauma Bay. He took care of collecting all of our gear needed for snorkeling and had wet suits to rent if needed. Dan gave great instructions/tips to the group on how to snorkel. Dan and his partner then took us throughout the bay to the best sites to see the tropical fish. He even took pictures for us! I highly recommend this tour! It is an experience we won’t forget!

If you get motion sickness, taking anti-nausea medication is a must! I took some, but I still ended up feeling really nauseous. I think the fatigue from traveling and lack of sleep contributed to it. However, the instructor welcomed us warmly, even with the nausea, which made it a lot of fun.

乗り物酔いする方は酔い止め必須です！
酔い止めを飲みましたがそれでもゲロ酔いしました。旅の疲れと寝不足もあったと思いますが。でもインストラクターがゲロ酔いも含め明るく迎えてくれたのでとても楽しかったです。

We had a great day, our driver Humu was very knowledgeable and kept us entertained getting there and coming back to our pick up place he was right on time overall it was a great experience, didn’t care for the food that was available at pearl harbor , we went to the Arizona memorial I think we should have done both tours the Missouri as well maybe next time.

Even with the weather turning sour was such a great experience
