The show was wonderful, but I was disappointed with the waiting time from check-in to being seated and the quality of the food.

ショーは素晴らしかったですが、チェックインタイムから着席までの待ち時間と料理の質にゲンナリしました。

I thought there would be many Japanese participants, but about 80% of the group was non-Japanese. With so many people, I expected the buffet to be more crowded, but everyone maintained order, and we were able to enjoy our meal without chaos. The taste was average, but since it's a buffet, the portions were generous, and the two included drinks made it feel like a good deal.

The show is recommended for those who might get bored with just hula, as well as fans of Elvis and Michael Jackson. While the impersonations of Elvis and Michael Jackson don't go beyond imitation, the stage is luxurious, the sound quality is good, and they perform classic hit songs, so I think you'll enjoy it. The hula performance was impressive from the VIP seats. Please see the photos. You can take pictures freely without flash (video and recording are not allowed).

Here are some points to note: The reception staff can speak Japanese, but once you enter the dining area, it's in English. The meal is outdoors, while the show is indoors with air conditioning, so it's advisable to bring a jacket. The show ends after 9 PM, and there are no trolleys for the return; you'll need to walk, take a taxi, or use The BUS if you're able. For those staying nearby, it shouldn't be a problem.

Overall, it's a comfortable evening event.

参加者は日本人が多いかと思ったら、8割くらいが日本人以外の団体でした
。人数が多く、ビュッフェがもっと混雑するかと思いましたが、皆さん秩序を守っていて、混乱なく食事をとることができました。味は、まあ普通ですが、ビュッフェなのでボリューム満点で、ドリンクも2杯ついてくるのでお得感はあります。
ショーは、フラだけだと飽きてしまう人、プレスリー、マイケルジャクソンのファンの人にお勧めです。プレスリーとマイケルジャクソンは物真似の域を出ないですが、舞台が豪華で音響もよく、定番のヒット曲を披露するので、楽しめると思います。フラも、VIP席でしたので迫力がありました。写真をご覧ください。フラッシュなしなら、自由に撮影できます。（ビデオ、録音は不可）
以下、注意点です。受付の人は、日本語大丈夫ですが、食事会場に入った後は英語です。食事は屋外、ショは屋内で冷房が効いていますから、上着持参が望ましいです。ショーの終了は9時過ぎですので、帰りは、トロリーはなく、徒歩、タクシー、使える人はThe　BUSになります。ホテルが近い人は問題ありませんが。
全体に、快適に過ごせる夜のイベントです。

This is a must! everything was amazing, so much fun. great activity and the Live Music on our boat was wonderful. enjoyed every minute of it. Staff was wonderful.

The views you get from the Cruise are amazing, however some of the staff came off rude when trying to guide passengers on what direction to go, our dinner had a lot of people getting seasick.

It was a beginner course, but since it was my first experience with mountain biking, the course with its ups and downs was very exciting. The English guide spoke in clear English, so I didn't feel any inconvenience. They also took a lot of photos. It's a great activity that allows you to experience the natural beauty of Oahu, and I highly recommend it!

初心者コースでしたが、マウンテンバイク初体験なのもありアップダウンのあるコースがとてもエキサイティングでした。
英語ガイドさんでしたが、わかりやすい英語で話してもらえて不便は感じません。写真もたくさん撮ってくれます。
オアフ島の昔からの自然を体感できるとてもよいアクティビティでおすすめです！

This far exceeded my expectations. The staff was great and it was a really fun experience. There were tons of fish around for the snorkeling and the kayaks and stand up paddle boards were fun to use. To top it off, the live music on board the boat was too notch. This is a must do activity for your trip to Oahu.

My cousin and I booked this snorkeling tour as it was her first time and she didn't feel comfortable being out in super deep in the water or in a very open area. The lagoon where this snorkel tour is hosted is great as it has rock barrier walls all around to protect it from large waves. Our tour guide, Micki was so knowledgeable and was able to tell us so much about the fish and coral that we could see. This is a great tour for beginners or families with younger children who want to try out snorkeling! Would highly recommend it!

This luau is informing and very exciting! They talk a lot about the past of Kauai and ancestral history. Price point at only $25 (without dinner) is absolutely great, especially for families with little ones. Handicap seating is available. Main seating area is at a slant so if you want to sit towards the bottom (closer) come early. My 1 year old even loved it and was clapping. Attire is Hawaiian style and it’s wonderful to see all the cool outfits. Bathrooms are close by and water is provided. I felt it ran a bit short this time compared to last year but it was still super amazing and would 100% go again.

I thought it would be easy to run along the designated course, but the exhilarating feeling of running 20 miles through the great outdoors, with a sudden steep slope and no guardrails, was an unforgettable experience.

決められたコースを連なって走ると高を括っていましたが、急な坂にガードレールもなく大自然の中を20マイルで走る爽快感は何事にも変え難い感動がありました。

Although I couldn't connect to Wi-Fi and the voucher couldn't be displayed, they kindly assisted me. I recommend taking a screenshot in advance.

Wi-Fiが繋げず、ﾊﾞｳﾁｬｰが表示出来なかったにもかかわらず、親切に対応して下さいました。
先にｽｸｼｮしておくことをおすすめします。

It was my first experience, and it was very refreshing and became a great memory. The instructors were fun to talk to, and they took a lot of photos for us.

初めて体験しましたが、とても爽快で良い思い出になりました。インストラクターのお兄さん達のお話も楽しく写真もたくさん撮ってくださいました。

The day we participated, the depth was just enough for adults to stand. Depending on the tide, it can be completely different from the photos, so it's better to check before signing up. It was also a windy day in late September, and the water temperature was low, so the kids got cold and quickly wanted to get out, which was unfortunate. (There were even babies who enjoyed it for over an hour.)

All the staff were very friendly, and it was reassuring that the Japanese-speaking staff provided thorough explanations. It was almost full, and there wasn't a place to sit, but they kindly asked us to move, which was a great help.

If you're going to snorkel, it seems better to have marine shoes. I bumped my foot against the coral reef (which you shouldn't touch) and got injured.

私たちが参加した日は、大人がやっと足がつく深さでした。潮位によっては、写真と全く異なるので、調べてから申し込んだ方が良いです。また9月下旬の風の強い日で、水温も低く子供達は寒がりすぐに出てしまい残念でした。（1時間以上楽しんでいた赤ちゃんもいました）
スタッフの皆さんは、全員感じが良く、日本語スタッフの方が丁寧に説明してくださるので安心です。ほぼ満席で座る場所がなかったのですが、移動をお願いしてくださり大変助かりました。
シュノーケルをするなら、マリンシューズがあった方が良さそうです。珊瑚礁に足をぶつけてしまい（触ってはいけません）怪我をしてしまいました。

The entire tour was very enjoyable, and the views of Maui from the sea were impressive. However, the coral reefs at Molokini Island had fewer colors than I expected, and I felt the effects of global warming. (A bit disappointing!)

ツアー全体はとても楽しく、海からのマウイ島も迫力十分の景色でした。
しかしモロキニ島のサンゴ礁は思っていた印象より色が少なく地球温暖化の
影響が出ていると感じました。（少し残念！）

We had a great time on our trip with a Island Splash Tours! The captain and crew were very knowledgeable, fun, and very safety conscious.
We had a very peaceful morning out at turtle canyons- heading out we got a great view of Waikiki from the water, which was beautiful! We saw a lot of turtles, and even had some dolphins swimming right next to the boat on our way back!
I highly recommend this company and their tours. Their semi-private tours make for such a fun, relaxing, and personalized experience!

Upon arriving at the airport and stepping outside, I was immediately greeted by a guide from Roberts Hawaii, who escorted me to the car. There was no chance of getting lost.

The driver was a local, so speaking Japanese was not an option, but it wasn't a problem at all. As long as I could say my name and the name of my hotel, that was enough. The driver was very safe on the road.

It took about 30 minutes to reach the hotel in Waikiki, stopping at various hotels along the way. This time, we were transported in the order of Ala Moana (the one closer to the airport) → Hilton Village → Waikiki.

空港に到着して外にでると、すぐにロバーツハワイの案内人がいて、車まで案内してくれました。迷うことはありませんでした。
ドライバーは現地の人なので日本語はＮＧですが、特に困ることはありませんでした。名前と宿泊ホテル名を言えればＯＫです。安全運転のドライバーさんでした。
ワイキキのホテルまでは約３０分ほどで到着し、各ホテルを巡ります。今回はアラモアナ（空港に近い方）～ヒルトンビレッジ～ワイキキの順で送迎されました。

The meeting point is at the hotel indoor parking lot, and I got lost because I couldn't find the reception. It's better to move with some extra time. After arriving, there will be explanations of each activity in Japanese. After that, it will be in English, but I was relieved that the operation videos were in Japanese. I was happy to receive a bandana to protect against dust. The scenery was also very nice, and the guide's explanations were thorough. The kids were delighted, saying it was like a roller coaster. I thought driving was easy and that anyone could do it. I really enjoyed experiencing the great outdoors and was glad to participate. Unfortunately, it got crowded at lunchtime, and I missed the chance to buy food.

I participated in the tour that started at 9:30 AM. Since we were told to meet on-site and check in 30 minutes early, I left my hotel in Waikiki at 7 AM with plenty of time, heading towards Haleiwa. The drive from Waikiki to the freeway was a bit congested, but after that, it was smooth sailing. I arrived around 8 AM near the North Shore and stopped by the 7-Eleven in Haleiwa for breakfast. (They sell pasta, hand rolls, and sandwiches similar to those in Japan.) I reached the harbor parking lot by 8:30 AM. After parking in a spot of my choice, I checked in at a small hut marked 'North Shore Adventures.' When I provided my last name, I was informed in English that "there is no restroom on the boat, so please take care of that in the brown building over there," and "wait around the pink hut until it's time." By the way, this tour company owns four boats, which have Japanese names like 'Kaiou' and 'Abunai.' This time, we were on the boat called 'Kanpai,' and fortunately, the captain was a Japanese person from Kumamoto (I believe his name was Reese; I apologize if I'm mistaken), who communicated with us entirely in Japanese. Once everyone was gathered, we set sail even before the scheduled time. We took off our sandals, placed them in a black box, and boarded barefoot, choosing our seats. After that, the staff provided explanations in English, mainly about "rules on the boat," "shark information," and "group division." This time, everyone except us was foreign, and we were divided into two groups of six, totaling 12 people. It took about 15 minutes to reach the site, and we arrived in no time. As many have mentioned, it does sway quite a bit, so motion sickness medication is a must. (It's not too bad while moving, but after the engine stops, the cage is directly affected by the waves.) If you forget, there is a 24-hour drugstore (Longs Drugs) in Waikiki where you can find "motion sickness" medication. After putting on our snorkels, we descended into the cage using a ladder while holding a GoPro. There were quite a few sharks. They passed right in front of us one after another, so take your time to get into position before starting to film. They are a docile type of shark, so they won't attack. After enjoying it for about 20 minutes, we switched with the next group and waited on the boat. There are no changing rooms on the boat, so we headed back in our swimsuits. This time, we returned to port at 11:30 AM, making it a very compact activity of about two hours from departure to return. If you choose an early morning tour, you'll have the entire afternoon free for exploring Haleiwa Town, shopping, or driving along the coastline, making for a meaningful day. Overall, this became the best memory of my trip to Oahu. I highly recommend it. Thank you very much.

朝9時半スタートの回に参加しました。現地集合、30分前にチェックインとのことでしたので、時間に余裕を持ってワイキキのホテルを朝7時にレンタカーで出発、ハレイワへ向かいました。ワイキキからフリーウェイまでは多少混みますが後はスイスイ、８時過ぎにはノースショア辺りへ到着、ハレイワのセブンイレブンに寄り朝食をとりました。（日本のセブンに近いパスタや手巻き、サンドイッチが売られています。）8時半にはハーバーの駐車場へ到着。好きな駐車スペースへ停めた後『North Shore Adventures』と書かれた小さな小屋で受付です。ラストネーム（苗字）を伝えると英語で「船にはトイレが無いからあそこの茶色い建物で済ませておくこと」、「時間までピンクの小屋周辺で待機すること」など伝えられます。ちなみにこちらの催行会社では船を４隻所有しており、『海王』や『危ない』など日本語の名前が付いています。今回は『乾杯』という船でしたが、たまたま運よくキャプテンが熊本出身の日本語の方（おそらくReeseさん、違っていたらごめんなさい。）で終始日本語で対応して頂けました。全員揃い次第、時間前でも出航です。サンダルを脱いで黒い箱に入れ裸足で乗船、好きな席へ座ります。その後スタッフから英語で説明、主に「船でのルール」「サメの説明」「グループ分け」についてです。今回は私たち以外は全員外国の方で全部で12名、6名ずつの２グループに分けられました。出航から現場まで15分ほど、あっという間に到着します。皆さん書いている通りかなり揺れますので酔い止め必須です。（走行時はそうでも無いですがエンジン停止後と、ケージが海面のため波の影響をもろに受ける）。もし忘れた場合、ワイキキには24時間営業のドラッグストア（Longs Drugs）がありますのでそこで「motion sickness」で探せば見つかります。シュノーケル着用後、GoProを持ってケージの中へハシゴで降ります。サメはかなりの数います。次から次へと目の前を通り過ぎるので、焦らずしっかり体勢を整えてから動画撮影開始です。おとなしい種類のサメですのでもちろん襲ってきたりはしません。約20分ほど楽しんだ後次グループと交代、船へ上がって待機です。船には更衣室はありませんので、水着のまま帰路に付きます。今回は帰港時11:30、出航から帰港まで約２時間の大変コンパクトなアクティビティでした。午前早目の回を選べば午後はまるまる空きますのでハレイワタウン散策やお買い物、海岸線をドライブなど有意義な１日を過ごせると思います。総合的に今回のオアフ島旅行で一番の思い出になりました。かなりお勧めだと思います。ありがとうございました。

会合場所で間違いをしてしまいましたが、電話での丁寧な対応のおかげで無事に会うことができました。ランチのロコモコも美味しかったです。もしまたハワイに来る機会があれば、また利用したいと思います。夏恵さん、恵美さん、ありがとうございました。

I made a mistake at the meeting place, but thanks to a polite response over the phone, I was able to meet up safely.
The loco moco for lunch was also delicious.
If I have a chance to come to Hawaii again, I will use it again.
Natsue san 、Emi san thank you.

I had a bit of fear during the night snorkeling tour, but there was a Japanese female staff member who frequently checked in on us, which made me feel at ease to participate. I was thrilled to see twelve manta rays. The hot chocolate on the boat afterward was soothing. We also received wonderful underwater footage, creating lovely memories. Thank you very much.

ナイトシュノーケリングツアーで少し恐怖もありましたが、女性日本人スタッフの方がおられて、たびたび声をかけて下さるので安心して参加させていただきました。
マンタが１２まいも見ることができて感激しました。
終わってからの船の上でのホットチョコレートは身体にしみわたりました。
すばらしい水中での映像も頂いて、素敵な思い出になりました。
本当にありがとうございました。

We were the only Japanese participants, but after the overall explanation in English, they provided individual explanations in clear English, which made it very considerate and easy for us to participate.

参加者の中で日本人は私達だけでしたが、全体で英語で説明した後に個別にわかりやすい英語で説明してもらえたり、とても気にかけてくれて参加しやすかったです。

It is true that you can race through the great outdoors and enjoy the magnificent scenery. I believe you can find satisfaction in the content through other media as well, so here are a few points to note:

- Basically, you will get dirty all over. Helmets and goggles are provided, but since they are not cleaned, just putting them on will make your head and face dirty. The vehicle is also dirty, so as soon as you sit down, your pants will get dirty. Additionally, dust from the vehicles in front will fall all over your body. By the way, in addition to the helmet and goggles, a dust mask labeled "Kualoa" is provided, but that is given as a souvenir after the tour.
- Even with goggles on, dust got into my family's eyes, so they used sunglasses or glasses as substitutes.
- Due to unforeseen circumstances, there may be times when you are left behind by the bus. The original plan was for the bus to depart 15 minutes after the 2-hour tour ended, but in reality, the tour extended to about 2 hours and 15 minutes, and when I went to the restroom afterward, I was left behind by the return bus. When I later asked the ticket booth staff, they said the bus only waited for 5 minutes after the scheduled departure time. This means I only had 5 minutes to wash my hands and face and walk from the tour location to the bus, including restroom time.

大自然の中を駆け抜けるというのは本当で、壮大な景色を楽しむことができた。内容に満足できることは他の媒体でもわかると思うので、注意点をいくつか。

・基本的に体中汚れる。ヘルメットとゴーグルが渡されるが、洗われていないため装着しただけで頭と顔が汚れる。車内も汚いので座ったらすぐにズボンが汚れる。また、前を走る車による砂埃が体中に降りかかる。ちなみにヘルメットとゴーグルの他にクアロアと書いてある防塵用のマスクが渡されるが、それはツアー終了後にお土産として渡された。
・ゴーグルをつけていても砂埃が目に入ったので家族は自分なりにサングラスやメガネで代用していた
・不可抗力によりバスにおいていかれることがある。2時間のツアーが終了して15分後にバスが出発するというのが元々の予定だったが、実際にはツアーが2時間15分くらいまで延びて、その後トイレに行っていたら帰りのバスにおいていかれた。後でチケット売り場の人に質問したら、バスは出発予定時刻の5分後までしか待っていなかったとのこと。手や顔を洗ってツアーの場所からバスまで歩く時間とトイレに行く時間を合わせて5分しかもらえなかったということになる。

Before returning on the round trip, we encountered a pod of wild dolphins. The sailing boat was spacious, and the staff were friendly, which made for a great experience. As we headed out to the open sea from around Diamond Head, the waves became higher, so those who are prone to seasickness might feel unwell. The view from the sailing boat is absolutely stunning.

I haven't driven in nearly five years, but I was relieved to manage the two-hour drive on this tour without any issues! It was certainly not monotonous; it was an exhilarating experience as we splashed through the jungle and zipped right past cows.

かれこれ５年近く運転してないペーパーだが、このツアーでの２時間のドライブは難なくこなすことができて、安心しました！　ただ、もちろん単調すぎることもなく、ジャングルを水しぶきを上げながら駆け抜けたり、牛の真横をすり抜けたりとスリルあるアトラクションでした。

They arrived to pick me up almost on time, and I was able to get on smoothly.

Considering it was a large vehicle like a bus, it shook a lot, so as someone who easily gets car sick, I was worried about feeling nauseous.

ほぼ時間どおりくらいに
迎えにきてくださり、スムーズに乗れました。

It's a bit disappointing that the location has changed to the rooftop parking lot; it used to be in the courtyard. As a result, the space feels smaller, and the scale of the show seems reduced. The fire dance has also become smaller. Perhaps it's due to the high cost of living.

場所が駐車場の屋上になったことが、少し残念。以前は中庭でした。
その分スペースが小さくなり、ショーの規模も小さい気がします。
　ファイヤーダンスも規模が小さくなってしまった。
　料理もかな
　物価高だから仕方ないのかもしれません

I saw something I thought I was too old to try. This being a birthday weekend of celebrating I thought I'd step out on faith and try something new. When the opportunity came, I said, signs me up, I'm all in. Though a little nervous the crew Russell and Sharky, made you feel relaxed and offered instructions that had you moving along as if you were a pro. There was, laughter, gentle corrections and so much fun. Before you knew it you were getting strapped in and sailing in the air at 1000 ft. Who would have known it would be so much fun. I'd do this again if and or when the opportunity comes around again.

I think the staff made various efforts for us to enjoy the tour. The beach volleyball was fun. I would like to use this service again.

スタッフのみなさんが我々がツアーを楽しむために様々工夫されていたと思います。海上バレーは楽しかったです。また利用したいと思います

We had a good time good food and watching the fireworks was great I would do it again

I previously participated and was very moved, so I wanted to show it to my husband and joined again. This time, I could hear the sounds of dolphins communicating, and I was reminded of how amazing nature is. My husband also seemed to have a great time and said it was the best part of our trip to Hawaii. Next, I plan to enroll in Manta University on the Big Island. I'm looking forward to seeing you again.

私は以前参加させていただき、とても感動したので夫にも見せてあげたいと思い、再度参加しました。
今回はイルカがコミュニケーションをとっている声も聞こえて、自然てすごいな、と改めて思いました。
夫も、とても楽しかったようで、ハワイ旅行で一番良かったこと、と申しております。
次はハワイ島でマンタ大学に入学しようと思っています。
また、お会いできるのが楽しみです。

This was such a breathtaking experience! Trevor and Diego were excellent captain and crew, with a great sense of humor too. They ensured I felt safe which was huge because I had never snorkeled before. I would recommend this company to anyone who asks, they provide everything you need including prescription goggles which was an amazing surprise. Diego also gave us manta ray facts as we were snorkeling and we loved it. The night began with a sunset boat ride, leading into the manta ray snorkel, and then a quick boat ride back to the harbor with snacks and hot cocoa. I will never forget this experience.
