Hawaii
Upon arrival, I only used the transfer from the hotel to the airport. Fortunately, it was the designated hotel, and the transfer went right up to the front of the hotel, which was very helpful. There was no need for a tip, and one piece of luggage per person was included. However, the return pickup was 10 minutes late from the scheduled time, which made me a bit anxious, but everything else was fine. I plan to use this service again next time.
到着後 ホテルへ帰りは、ホテルから空港へ 送迎のみの利用でした。幸い指定のホテルになっていて、ホテルの真前までの送迎だったので、とても助かりました。チップの必要もなく 荷物も1人1つまでは込みでした。
ただ帰りの迎えが 予定時刻より10分遅れていたので、ちょっと不安になりましたが、後は問題ありませんでした。
次回も利用しようと思いました。
Had a wonderful time on the jungle expedition with Justice! Great views of the island and a fun drive up and back down. Highly recommend! Must admit that seeing the Jurassic World props was my favorite!
This was a fun way to spend my birthday. The captain and crew were super relaxed and funny, and the small size of the boat allowed for a sense of camaraderie and fun, as we zoomed through the water at high speeds (make sure to hold on!). Loved this intimate experience rather than some big show boat with a ton of people onboard.
At first, I was worried about whether the staff could really speak Japanese, but they spoke it very well, and the sandbar was absolutely stunning. The hamburgers had a wild vibe that was different from Japan, and they were great! You can also get refills. Lastly, there is a tip, but for this price, the experience was definitely worth it.
初めスタッフさんが本当に日本語話せるのか不安でしたが、めっちゃ話せるしサンドバーも絶景でした。
ハンバーガーもワイルドな感じで日本とはまた違いよかったです!おかわりもできます
最後にチップなどありますがこの金額なら全然良い内容でした。
The boat crew was amazing. You will take your shoes off prior to entering the boat and the crew assists with the facilitation of passengers onto the vessel. The main challenge is timing the waves with getting passengers on board. The crew did a great job with this and ensured everyone stayed dry (for the most part!) Once on the boat there are several different seating options: Bean bag chairs, bench seating down by the bar area, and seating on the front of the vessel. I would recommend sitting in the bean bags as they are comfortable and provide a great view (just be careful with your phone as there are slits it could possibly fall through into the ocean.)
Dinner was served on the boat and it was excellent. The brussel sprouts and chicken bites were delicious! Drinks were also served and the crew did a great job with serving everyone in a timely and frequent manner. The trip was extra special for me as my wonderful fiance (then boyfriend) proposed to me as the sun set over the mountains. My friends worked with the crew members to make the moment extra special as they deliberately turned the boat for us to see the sunset in our engagement pictures. During/after the proposal they provided us with a champagne shower and the rest of the bottle of champagne! Truly a moment we will never forget.
A++ experience!
The boat crew was outstanding. Very informative and helpful in all aspects of the trip. Many whales were spotted throughout the entire adventure and the crew's commentary on the whales was interesting. Breakfast and lunch on the boat was also excellent. Breakfast was light and more so appetizers so if you need more sustenance make plans for that. Lunch had plenty of food leftover if you wanted/needed seconds. Around lunch time the bar was opened for drinks and the bartenders were all awesome! A handful of beers (crafts, domestics) and mixed drinks were served. The snorkel gear provided by the boat was great as well. They provided anti-fog spray for the masks so don't worry about bringing any. Oh, there's also a slide on the back of the boat. Good time.
Our group was lucky enough to spot a handful of sea turtles, which really made the trip a special one. The guides on the water were careful to ensure trip members did not get too close or touch the sea turtles, which was nice to see. The bathrooms on board were clean and had no issues. The top of the boat was bench seating with plenty of room for the amount of passengers that were on the trip. Sunscreen was provided on board so do not worry about bringing your own.
Overall, there is nothing I can think of to improve the experience we had. Would highly recommend and even do again if ever back on the island! A+
At the ranch, there are ample options for breakfast/lunch that were well priced and very tasty! Plenty of opportunities to take great photos by the mountains prior to the bus picking you up as well...
The tour guides held a brief safety course before taking the group out zip lining to ensure everyone was comfortable using the equipment. Speaking of tour guides, they were all very friendly and engaging. Any and all questions were answered by them and they helped facilitate conversation among everyone participating. There were a handful of cold water stations throughout the tour so there is no need to bring any personal water...
Plenty of professional photography spots (taken automatically as you zip by them on the line) are located on the zip line tour, which will be pointed out by the guides. [None of the photos I posted are the professional photos.] I recommend purchasing the pictures (whole package rather than individuals) as the price can't be beat for the quality and quantity of photos. Oh, also bring some cash if you would like to purchase some energy shots from the photographer in case you had one too many mai tais the night before!
Overall it was a great experience worth paying for that I can't find anything to improve upon. A+!
Other things I can think of off the top of my head:
-Free locker storage for valuable items
-I would recommend bringing sunscreen and sunglasses and even a hat
-Hiking isn't that strenuous. Do not need to be in excellent shape or anything.
-Seeing where some of my favorite movies were filmed was pretty neat!
-Wear comfy tennis shoes
It was great to move by boat while watching the sunset falling into the sea. The blue glowing lights were also fantastical and beautiful. After waiting for a few minutes holding onto a buoy like a board, a manta ray came from the ocean floor. It approached right below my stomach, opening its large mouth and spinning around. I was able to see three manta rays. It was wonderful.
海に落ちる夕陽を眺めながらのボート移動も良かったです。
ブルーに光るライトも幻想的できれいでした。
ボードのような浮きに掴って待つこと数分、海底からマンタがやってきました。大きなくちを開けてグルリグルリと回転しながら私のお腹のすぐ下まで来ました。3枚のマンタを見る事が出来ました。素晴らしかったです。
ALOHA!
Thank you for participating in the Manta University Night Program!
We are glad to hear that you had a wonderful experience with the manta rays.
Please do join us again if you have the opportunity.
All of our staff are looking forward to welcoming you back.

I was worried about snorkeling with my child, but I felt quite reassured and satisfied with the activity because the guide stayed with us the whole time! At one point, my child started saying they were cold and wanted to get out, but I appreciated how kindly the guide handled it without any negative reactions. The shuttle car was nice, and we had a comfortable drive. They took photos with a GoPro, so we have great quality memories! Data download was also available! Thank you!
子連れでシュノーケルは不安でしたが、ガイドの先生がずっと一緒についていてくれたのでかなり安心で満足するアクティビティーでした!
途中で子どもが寒くてもう上がりたいと言い始めましたが、嫌な顔せず対応いただき有り難かったです。
送迎の車もいい車で心地よくドライブできました。
ゴープロで写真を撮ってくれたので、いい画質で良い思い出ができました!データダウンロードOKでした!ありがとうございます!
At the end of February, it was a bit chilly, but I was able to see sea turtles, go snorkeling, enjoy delicious lunches, and even had fun singing! However, the snorkeling spot wasn't as beautiful as I had imagined; I did see some fish, but I was expecting a clearer sea, so that was a bit disappointing. Still, I had a great time!
2月末で肌寒かったですが、ウミガメが見れたりシュノーケリングしたりお昼も美味しく、歌を歌ってくれたりして楽しく過ごせました!
ただシュノーケリングの海が思っていたよりキレイではなく魚は見れましたが、もっと透き通った海を想像していたので、そこは残念でした。でも、楽しく過ごせたので良かったです!
I was able to see the whales' spouts and backs! It was more fun than I expected to be so close to the whales. We also saw a turtle right after we set sail. Although we didn't see any jumps, the view of Waikiki from the ocean was very beautiful!
クジラの潮吹きと背中を見ることができました!思っていたよりも近くにクジラがいて楽しかったです。出航してすぐに亀も見れました。
ジャンプは見れませんでしたが、海側から見るワイキキの風景はとても綺麗でした!!
Thank you very much for joining our cruise. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed the scenery and whale watching. We hope to see you next time when you can witness the whales jumping! All of our staff are looking forward to your next visit.

Shuttle pick up and drop off were seamless. The perfect amount of time at the Bay to get through admissions, snorkel, float, sun and snack! The gear worked well and fit like a glove.
The pasta and meat are delicious❣️ The portions might be a bit on the smaller side. I think the dessert could be even better with a bit more creativity.
パスタとお肉は美味しい❣️量は若干少なめかもしれません。デザートはもう少し工夫があるとさらに良いと思います。
We participated as a family of three. The meeting time was early in the morning, but surprisingly, we received a wake-up call in our hotel room! The crew was incredibly energetic and worked hard to keep the atmosphere lively. We had a great time.
Whenever we spotted dolphins, we jumped in to see them. We repeated this a few times, going back and forth to where the dolphins were. (For those who are snorkeling for the first time, it might be a bit scary.) While there’s no worry of drowning since you wear a life jacket, the water is quite deep. The dolphins swam quite below us, and they were fast, so we couldn't see them up close, but we did get to see them jumping and swimming in groups.
A sea turtle swam slowly close to us, and my daughter was able to capture some photos of it up close. We also encountered whales from the boat.
The cheeseburger for lunch was quite substantial, and the pineapple was sweet and delicious! However, I think it might be tough for those who get motion sickness. If you don’t take precautions, it could be quite challenging. Floating and swimming in the deep sea is the most likely to cause seasickness.
At the end, we took a group photo, and they later sent the pictures via email. I think the service was attentive in every aspect.
We returned to Waikiki in the early afternoon, which allowed us to schedule other plans for the afternoon, so it was good to do it in the morning. Thank you for a fun day!
家族3人で参加しました。集合時間が早朝だったのですが、なんとホテルの部屋にモーニングコール(^^♪びっくりしました!
クルーの皆さんはめっちゃテンション高く、一生懸命盛り上げてくれ(^^)/
とても楽しく過ごせました。
イルカを見つけると、そこへ飛び込んでイルカを見る。また船でイルカのいる場所に行きイルカを見る・・・を何度か繰り返しました。
(シュノーケリング初めての方は怖いかもしれません)ライフジャケットを着ているので溺れる心配はありませんが、かなり深いので(汗)
イルカは私たちのかなり下を泳いでいて、スピードも早くてあまり近くでは見られませんでしたが、群れで海上をはねて泳ぐ姿も見れました。
ウミガメはゆっくり私たちの近くに泳いできてくれて、娘は至近距離で泳ぐ姿を撮影できました。船の上からは鯨にも会えました。
お昼のチーズバーガーはお肉がかなりボリュ-ムあり。パイナップルも甘くておいしかったです!
ただ、乗り物酔いする方にはかなりきついかと思います。対策していかないと、大変だと思います。船よりも、深い海で浮いて泳ぐことが一番酔います。
最後に全員で写真を撮り、後にメールで写真を送ってくださいました。
何から何まで行き届いたサービスだと思います。
ワイキキに戻るのはお昼過ぎ。午後からは違う予定を入れられるので午前にしてよかったです。
楽しい一日をありがとうございました!
Thank you for joining Dolphin & You. We are very happy to hear that you enjoyed the tour. During the winter season, there may be some days with a bit of wave action, so we recommend taking motion sickness medication. Additionally, we suggest swimming in the waters of Waikiki before the tour to get accustomed to the ocean. We hope you will join us again in other seasons. We look forward to seeing you!
ドルフィン&ユーにご参加いただき、ありがとうございます。ツアーを楽しんでいただき、とても嬉しいです。冬の時期は、少し波が出てくる日もありますので、酔い止めを飲まれることをお勧めします。また、ツアー参加の前にワイキキの海でも泳いで海に慣れておくことをおすすめします。他の季節にも是非ご参加ください。お待ちしております!
We would definitely recommend and do this again! We had a blast!
I've been on 3 trips in the last 2 months with activities scheduled everyday for jet skiing, snowmobiling, fishing, etc. and this was the most fun I have had doing any of them.
My wife is claustrophobic and just couldn't do it, so I took her turn and did it twice. There is a bag of fish food on the front of the scooter, and you squeeze it and wave it around and the fish go nuts literally right in front of you and eat from your hand. I saw 6 different species of colorful fish and a sea turtle so close I could have touched it.
They videotape you doing it and take photos, so you can show your friends who aren't going to understand unless they see it. When they do see it, they all want to do it too. Would definitely do this again.
I didn't expect Hawaii to be this cold in February! It rained occasionally, and due to the tide, the sandbar wasn't exposed, so we were about 20 cm underwater, which was a bit different from the stunning photos you usually see. However, the snorkeling experience was enjoyable, and I appreciated the kind lessons provided. I was also grateful to be able to borrow a wetsuit.
2月のハワイがこんなに寒いとは!
時折雨降るし、サンドバーは潮位の関係で砂地は出ておらず、20cmくらい水に浸かっていて、よく見る映えな写真とはちょっと違う感じでした。
ただ、シュノーケルについては、親切にレッスンもあり楽しめました。ウェットスーツを貸していただけてありがたかったです。
Aloha! This is Captain Bruce's Paradise of the Sea Tour. Thank you very much for joining us. February is winter in Hawaii, but there are warm days that feel like summer, and unfortunately, there are also cold days when the weather turns bad. The weather in Hawaii can be unpredictable and hard to read. However, I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed snorkeling. We all sincerely look forward to your next visit.
アロハ!キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーです。この度はご参加いただき誠にありがとうございました。2月はハワイの冬ですが、夏みたいに暖かい日もあれば、残念ながら天気が崩れると寒いこともあります。ハワイの天気は変わりやすく、なかなかよめないですよね。でもシュノーケルは楽しんでいただけたようで、良かったです。またのお越しをスタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げております。
Riding on a horse amidst the overwhelming scenery was very pleasant. Moreover, it was a great point that I could see not only the mountains but also the beautiful ocean. I participated in the two-hour course, but it was a bit tough for someone who doesn't exercise much since there were no breaks along the way. However, the view from the back of the cute horse and seeing my family was the best!
圧倒的な景色の中、馬に揺られて進むのは、とても気持ちが良かったです。
しかも山だけではなく海まで綺麗に見えたのがとてもうれしいポイントでした。2時間コースに参加したのですが、途中で休憩がなかったので運動不足の身には少しキツかったです。でもかわいい馬の背中で見る景色と家族の姿は最高でした❗️
I was very satisfied because I could ride the slides multiple times with almost no waiting time. There are a variety of slides, so I think you'll be able to find your favorite. The lockers have a PIN code, so you don't have to carry a key like at pools in Japan, and it was very convenient since you could open and close them multiple times. It was a bit disappointing that it rained occasionally and the wind was strong. Also, the shower water was a little cold. For those planning to go by bus, I recommend a plan with transportation included, as the road can be a bit dangerous.
待ち時間ほぼ無しで何度もスライダーに乗ることができ、とても満足することができました。スライダーの種類も豊富で、お気に入りのスライダーを見つけることができると思います。ロッカーは暗証番号付きで、日本のプールの様に鍵を持たなくて済むし、何度も開け閉めができたのでとても便利でした。時々雨が降ったり、風が強かったのが残念でした。あと、シャワーの水が少し冷たかったです。Theバスで行く予定の方は、少し道が危険なので送迎付きのプランをお勧めします。
I was surprised to see whales so close to the coast. I was also happy to see them spouting several times. The ship was large and impressive, and I didn't get seasick.
海岸からあれほど近くに鯨がいるなんて驚きでした。潮吹きも何度も見られて嬉しかったです。
船は大きくて立派で、船酔いもしませんでした。
Thank you very much for joining our cruise. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed whale watching. Please do come again. All of our staff are looking forward to welcoming you back.

We thoroughly enjoyed our sunset cocktail cruise. The staff on board was very accommodating. They aimed to please and they couldn’t have been more helpful. We would certainly recommend this cruise for those looking for a pleasant two hours of sailing.
It was a tour where we enjoyed three activities, and as soon as one ended, the next was waiting for us. After that, we had lunch, and then the final tour followed, creating a seamless flow like being on a conveyor belt. Before we knew it, the enjoyable tour was over.
3つのアクチビテイを楽しむツアーでしたが、一つのそれが終わるとすぐ次のそれが待っていて、それがすむとランチ、そして最後のツアーとまるでベルトコンベヤーに載っているような無駄のない流れ、アッという間に楽しいツアーが終わりました。
Guides were great...clearly love what they do. Saw lots of beautiful fish. Hanauma Bay was beautiful. Go with the wetsuit if you tend to get cold easily.
Hi, Thank you, glad you enjoyed! Hope we see you again. Dan and Chieko.
We saw dolphins, turtles, and even a whale, and there was a rainbow too—it was amazing! Since it's cold in February, it's better to spend $10 to rent a wetsuit!
いるか、亀、くじら、虹まで出て最高でした!
2月は寒いのでウェットスーツは10ドル出してでも借りた方が良いです!
Thank you for joining the tour. It was great to see whales, as this is the only time of year we can! We hope to see you again soon. We look forward to your visit.
ツアーにご参加ありがとうございます。クジラに会えるのは、この時期だけなので、良かったです!また是非お越しください。お待ちしております。
The president's dog accompanied us on the tour, and it was so cute. In the first half, we alternated between stand-up paddleboarding and snorkeling, but I ended up playing with the dog instead of focusing on snorkeling. The dog was a great swimmer, friendly, and very well-behaved! In the second half, we enjoyed underwater scooters. There was no trouble communicating with the instructor using gestures. It might be a good idea to review how to equalize your ears beforehand. For those with claustrophobia, it might be a bit tough, but I had a great time. I was able to see turtles up close, and the fish came to the food in my hands. Photos are $40, videos are $40, and both together are $60. I purchased both as a keepsake.
社長さんのワンコがツアーに同伴してくれてとても可愛かったです。
前半はスタンドアップパドルボートとシュノーケリングを交代でしたのですがシュノーケリングそっちのけでワンコと遊でしまいました
泳ぎも上手で人なくっこくてとても良い子!
後半は水中スクーターを楽しみました。
インストラクターさんとは身振り手振りで意思の疎通にも困ることはありませんでした。
参加の前に耳抜きの仕方だけ予習しておいたほうがいいかもしれません。
閉所恐怖症の方はもしかしたらキツイかもしれませんが私は楽しめました。
亀も近くで見れたし魚も手元の餌に寄ってきてくれました。
写真だけ40ドル、動画だけ40ドル、両方なら60ドルです。
記念に両方購入しました。
I participated alone. I had some anxiety, but the check-in and boarding went smoothly. There were whales everywhere. Every time we spotted one, the captain and the other passengers would announce it and point it out, so we moved the boat left and right to take pictures! At the end of the tour, a whale came close to the boat, dove underneath, and popped up to play with us! Everyone was super excited! ☆ Since there was some wind and occasional rain (though not for long), I think it's a good idea to bring a windbreaker. It was a very valuable experience, and I was moved. Thank you very much!!
1人で参加をしました。
不安もありましたがチェックインから乗船、その後もスムーズでした。クジラはあちこちにいました。見えるたびにキャプテンや乗客の皆さんがアナウンスや指差しをして教えてくれたので船を右に左に飛び回って写真を撮りました!
ツアーの最後にはクジラが船に近づいてきて、船の下に潜り込み、顔を出して戯れてくれました!
みんな大興奮でした☆
風があったり、たまに雨が降ったり(長い時間ではありませんが)するので、ウインドブレーカーを持参しても良いと思います。
とても貴重な体験が出来感動しました。
ありがとうございました!!
Truly excellent. He was extremely informative and I have a deep passion for astronomy. He continuously piqued my interests. He’s very knowledgeable and knows how to run the show well and keep everyone engaged.
Mahalo. Keep reaching for the stars!!
We participated in the 2-hour course with five people. Since it was a last-minute reservation, we joined the final tour at 3 PM. I think it was even more enjoyable during the time when the colors of the sky change at sunset. The accompanying staff were kind and took many photos, creating great memories. I considered going solo, but I think it was better to experience it together with everyone in the five-person option, having fun and chatting.
2時間コース、5人で参加しました。
ぎりぎりの予約だったので、最終の15時台のツアーとなりました。夕焼け時に空の色も変わる時間帯でより楽しめたのではないかと思います。同行のスタッフさんが親切で写真を沢山撮っていただき、いい思い出になりました。
1人乗りと迷いましたが、みんなでわいわいしながら体験できるので5人乗りで良かったと思います。
As always, the pickup was on time. We went to several hotels before reaching the airport, but one reservation was a no-show, and the driver went inside the hotel multiple times to check. In the end, we waited for about 15 minutes before heading to the next hotel. Thank you for your hard work, driver.
いつもながら時間通りのお迎え。
空港までにいくつかのホテルを回りますが、1か所予約した方が全く現れず、運転手の方が何度もホテルの中まで確認に行ってました。
結局15分ほど待って次のホテルに向かいました。
運転手さん、お疲れさまでした。
I usually watch the Polynesian show, but this time I chose the show at the Royal Hawaiian Center. I really enjoyed it.
いつもはポリネシアンショーを見てたのですが今回はロイヤル ハワイアンセンターのショーにしました
なかなか楽しめました
Thank you very much for visiting us this time. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you again when you come to Hawaii.
