Clyde was a perfect host for our Lanai Island Tour. Very considerate and tried to pull everyone in on the conversation. It was great to have the tour given by someone who lives on the island and provided us a lot of background on what it's like to live there. The island was a complete surprise as to its landscape.

Crew was great, food was good, would recommend to all

We continued from last year. This time, we checked the tide conditions and made a reservation, so the water was very shallow and the weather was nice, making it really beautiful. There were many children, so I couldn't be pulled along for snorkeling like last year, but we were able to see a lot of fish, and afterwards, we had a great time playing at SAP. I think I will participate again next year.

昨年に引き続き行ってまいりました。今回も潮の状態を確認し予約したため、水深がとても浅く、天候もよかったためすごくきれいでした。子どもが多く昨年のように手を引っ張ってもらってシュノーケリングというわけにはいきませんでしたが、魚が多く見れ、またその後もＳＡＰで楽しく遊べ良かったです。また、来年も参加すると思います。

The activity itself was great, and I felt reassured by the explanations in Japanese. The duration of the activity was also long, and I was satisfied.

アクティビティ自体も良かったですが、日本語で説明してくれて安心しました。
1アクティビティ自体の時間も長く、満足でした。

The number of units was limited, and there was almost always a wait time. Some people were getting seasick while waiting. The actual time spent diving was very short, which was disappointing.

台数が限られてほとんど待ち時間でした。
人によっては待ってる時間で船酔いしていました。実際に装着して潜った時間もすごく短くて不満だった。

I loved the movie filmed here and made a reservation. The scale was grand, and I was able to experience something extraordinary!

However, while other guides were taking pictures with dinosaur plush toys in the drop-off area, our guide stayed in the car. I think it would be a better tour if you could ensure a more equal quality of guides.

こちらで撮影された映画が大好きで予約をしました。
スケールが壮大で非日常を味わうことができました！

ただ、降車エリアで他のガイドさんは恐竜のぬいぐるみを持って撮影してくれていたのに、私たちのガイドは車に乗ったままでした。
ガイドの質平等を頼んでいただけたらもっといいツアーになると思います。

I participated with my wife and our two children, aged 9 and 5. I was a bit worried that my 5-year-old might be scared, but he had a great time. The weather was nice, and the view of Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head was incredibly refreshing.

妻、9歳、5歳の子供と家族4人で参加しました。
ちょっと怖がるかな？と不安でしたが5歳の息子も大はしゃぎでした。
天気も良くワイキキビーチとダイヤモンドヘッドが見渡せて爽快感が半端なかったです。

We went to the Polynesian show at WDW years ago and this one blew it out of the water. Fantastic family atmosphere.

I joined a tour because I wanted to see wild dolphins. Right after we set sail, we encountered a pod of spinner dolphins, and they swam alongside the boat for a long time, jumping several times. The natural dolphin show was absolutely amazing. The staff was very friendly and taught us a lot about Hawaii. It was quite cold when we returned after snorkeling, so I really appreciated the warm drink they provided. I was hoping there would be a hot water shower, but unfortunately, there wasn't.

野生のイルカを見たくてツアーに参加しました。出航してからすぐにマダライルカの群れに会うことができ、長時間船と一緒に泳いでくれたり何度もジャンプもしてくれました。自然のイルカショーはとても最高でした。スタッフの方もとても親切でハワイについて色々と教えてくれました。シュノーケルを終えて帰ってくるときとても寒かったので温かいドリンクの提供ありがたかったです。
温水シャワー付きなのかと思っていたのですがなかったのが残念でした。

On the way to Haleiwa (North Shore), we had a break at the Dole Plantation. It’s a good spot for a restroom break and to check out souvenirs. I took some photos and bought a T-shirt. After that, we were taken to the ranch to start our horseback riding experience. The driver spoke fluent Japanese and provided an overview during the ride. However, all the staff at the ranch were locals, so they didn’t speak Japanese. But they were very friendly, and I managed just fine by watching and mimicking them. My child had ridden horses in Japan before, but this was the first time riding independently rather than on a lead. Since we would be riding for nearly an hour, I was initially anxious, but the horses were very calm, and I quickly got used to it and felt at ease. More than that, my backside was sore! The weather was great, and as we rode along the beach, I felt time slow down and realized I was having a precious experience. This isn’t something you can do in Japan... I would love to do it again if I have the chance, but please be aware that the muscles in my legs, which I don’t usually use, were quite sore right after getting off the horse.

After the horseback riding experience, we were dropped off in the town of Waialua for some free time until the meeting time. We took a lunch break at Island Vintage Coffee and had an acai bowl and a veggie bagel plate. It was very delicious, and my wife really enjoyed the bagel sandwich. After that, we strolled around the town, visiting clothing stores and shops, and when we got thirsty, we ordered shave ice. There was quite a line, but it moved quickly, so we didn’t have to wait too long. On the way back in the car, I was able to sleep soundly, and we got back before 3:00 PM, so it didn’t affect anything afterward. I think it was a really good optional tour.

ハレイワ（ノースショア）までの途中、ドールプランテーションで休憩があります。
トイレ休憩やお土産物を見るのも良いでしょう。私は、写真を撮りTシャツを購入しました。その後、牧場まで連れて行ってもらい、乗馬体験のスタートです。ドライバーさんは日本語ぺらぺらなので、行きの道中におおよその説明をしてくれます。というか牧場のスタッフの方々は全て現地の方なので、日本語は通じませんw　でもフレンドリーに接してくださるので見よう見まねで全然大丈夫でした。子供も日本で馬には乗ったことがあったのですが、引き馬でなく自分で動かすのは初めて。しかも1時間近く乗りますので、最初は不安でしたが、馬さん達も非常に大人しく、すぐに慣れて安心して見ていられました。それよりも自分のお尻が痛かったですw　天候も良くて、馬に乗りながらビーチ沿いを歩いていると時の流れをゆっくりに感じて、貴重な体験をしているなぁとしみじみ感じてしまいました。日本ではこうはいかないと・・・　また機会あれば体験したいですが、普段使わない足の筋肉が酷使されているため、馬から降りた直後は心地よい筋肉痛を感じることをご了承ください。
乗馬体験の後はワレイワの街で下ろしてもらい、集合時間までフリータイム。アイランドビンテージコーヒーでお昼休憩を取り、アサイーボウルとベジベーグルのプレートを食べました。非常に美味で、妻がベーグルサンドにハマってました。その後は街をぶらつき、洋服屋、雑貨屋さんを巡り、喉が乾いたところでシェイブアイスを注文。結構な人が並んでいましたが、回転が早いのでそんなに待つことなくありつけました。帰りの車の中ではぐっすり寝ることもでき、15:00前には帰って来れたので、その後に影響することもなく、非常に良いオプショナルツアーではないかなと思いました。

We had a great experience and the food was delicious.

It's a bit expensive, but you should choose the PM course. The AM course can be cold if it's not sunny. When it's cloudy or rainy, the water visibility is low and it feels cold. The snorkeling equipment is old and there isn't enough, so I recommend buying some at ABC Store before going.

多少高いがPMコースにするべき。AMコースは晴れていないと寒い。
曇りや雨だと、水の透明度も低く冷たく感じる。シュノーケル機材も古く数も足りないので、ABCストアで買って行くのをお勧めする。

I wanted my grandchildren to experience various activities at the Polynesian Cultural Center, so we went as a family of nine, including my four grandchildren (ages 0, 2, 10, and 11). Children aged 0 and 2 are free, and those aged 10 and 11 get half price. Other tours don’t offer such benefits, so we were able to participate at a reasonable cost. We had a great time exploring the six villages and experiencing Polynesian culture, as well as enjoying a canoe tour.

Since very little Japanese was spoken, it was difficult to understand how to use the voucher for entry and the announcements regarding pickup times and locations. Japanese brochures are available at the entrance.

ポリネシアンカルチャーセンターで子どもたちに色々と体験させたいと思い、孫4人(0歳2歳10歳11歳)を含め一家9人で行きました。0歳2歳は無料、10歳11歳は半額。他のツアーではこのような特典がないので、リーズナブルに参加することができました。6つ村を巡ってポリネシア文化体験、カヌーツアーと楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。
日本語がほとんど通じなかったので、バウチャーを使っての入園の仕方や迎えの時間と場所のアナウンスが分かりにくかったです。
日本語版のリーフレットは、入口でもらえます。

It's early in the morning, and although the activity time is only two hours, which seems inefficient, it's incredibly fun. Unlike horseback riding experiences at tourist spots in Japan, I really felt like I was riding the horse myself. (Maybe I was just being put on it?) Anyway, it was very fulfilling.

朝早くてそれでもアクティビティの時間は２時間と効率は悪い様ですが何より楽しい。
日本の観光地の乗馬体験とは違い自分でも馬に乗ったと思えます。（乗せられたのかも？)
とにかく充実感あります。

It's an impersonation, but the music is good, so I enjoyed seeing it live. I think it's great for those who can no longer enjoy a regular luau show.

物まねですが、楽曲がいいので実際に生で見ると楽しめました。
普通のルアウショーが楽しめなくなった人にいいと思います。

This was my second visit. I was guided to an outdoor seat, but when I requested to change to an indoor seat, I was taken to the second floor, which had a nice atmosphere, and we started our meal. The food was delicious. However, about 30 minutes in, a group of around eight people who completely disregarded the surrounding environment sat nearby. Their loud, almost shrill laughter and vulgar tone ruined the atmosphere. It seemed that most of them had been living in Hawaii for a long time, engaging in noisy conversations in Japanese. They had no manners, and I felt that it lowered the establishment's dignity and reputation. Since I was traveling, I chose not to say anything, and I understand that the restaurant cannot choose its customers, but it would have been nice if they had some measures in place to maintain the restaurant's standards. It was a shame to have such a wonderful dinner ruined. It was disappointing, especially since the food was so good.

２度目の往訪。屋外の席に案内されたが、室内に変更を希望すると２階席に案内され、雰囲気もよく、会食を開始。料理はおいしかったです。ところが、開始３０分後、周囲への迷惑を全く気にしない集団８名ほどが近くの席に。特に女性陣のけたたましい、奇声に近い笑い声、下品な口調で雰囲気は台無しに。ハワイに長く住んでいる方々が大半の様で、日本語でのうるさい会話。マナーも無く、お店にとっても品格が下がり、品位が疑われるのではと思われました。旅行中なので敢えて注意しませんでしたし、お店も客は選べないのでしょうが、お店の格を守るためにも注意が合っても良かったのでは。せっかくのディナーは台無しに。美味しかっただけに残念です。

We participated as a family of five.
At first, we were shown a video in Japanese, so there were no problems.
For now, we got covered in sand. (laughs)
That said, they provided goggles and something to cover our mouths, so it wasn't an issue.
There are ups and downs, but it's not as scary as it sounds. We departed in groups of about ten, and the guide stopped at points to provide guidance, but I couldn't understand what he was saying in English. I think it would be helpful to have a translation app.
At one of the stops, a local staff member will take photos for you, so be sure to ask.
Also, since we had two hours, I think we really got to enjoy nature in the end.

家族5人で参加しました。
最初の説明などは日本語でのビデオを見せてもらえるので問題ありません。
とりあえず、砂まみれになります。笑
とはいえ、ゴーグルや口をおおうものをくれるので問題なかったです。
アップダウンはありますが、恐怖ほどはないです。10台ずつぐらいまとめて出発し、ガイドさんがポイントで止まりガイダンスしてくれますが、英語で何をいってるのか不明でした。翻訳アプリあるといいと思います。
途中のポイントでは現地スタッフのお兄さんが写真を撮ってくれるので頼んでみましょう。
あとは、、2時間あるので最後は自然を充分味わった感があると思います。

I had a wonderful night in Hawaii♡ It started while it was still bright in the evening, and I enjoyed the transition of the sky from dusk to night♪

とても素晴らしいHawaiiの夜を過ごす事ができました♡夕方明るいうちから始まり､夕暮れから夜になる空の移り変わりも楽しめました♪

My son had the best experience all thanks to Gio, thank you and your crew.

Last time, I participated in a different sandbar tour with Veltra around the same time, but it was so deep that my daughter, who is nearly 140 cm tall, couldn't touch the bottom, and it was cold, so we wanted to try again. It was really great!! We saw a lot of fish and were able to do many marine sports, which was the best. Even my 9-year-old daughter, who can't swim at all, had no problems with snorkeling for the first time. The banana boat was also fantastic. I would love to participate again. If I had to say something, I wish there were a few more drinks available...

前回、同じ時期にベルトラの別のサンドバーツアーに参加しましたが、140センチ近くある娘の足が付かないほど深くて、かつ寒くて今回リベンジ。凄く良かったです！！魚もたくさん見れて、マリンスポーツもたくさん出来て最高でした。全く泳げないシュノーケリングも初体験の9才の娘でも問題ありませんでした。バナナボートも最高でした。また参加したいです。強いて言うなら、もうちょっとドリンク類置いて欲しかったな、、、

About 15 people, including Australians and African Americans, boarded the boat together. All the explanations were in English, which made it quite challenging to understand, but it was okay because I could grasp the atmosphere. The views were amazing, and the breeze felt great!

オーストラリア人や、アフリカ系の黒人たちと15名ほどが一緒に船に乗りました。
説明も全て英語で、聞き取りも大変でしたが、雰囲気で分かるから大丈夫。
最高の景色と風が気持ち良かったです！

I participated on September 10. Despite paying a fairly high fee, three activities were closed. By around noon, it seemed that the staff were short-handed due to their breaks, leading to even more closed activities. They did not reopen until we boarded the return bus before 3 PM. It felt almost like a scam. Perhaps it would have been different on another day, but that was the only day my family could go. If you decide to book, it seems to be a matter of luck.

現地日付9月10日に参加しました。まぁまぁ高い料金を払ったのにクローズドのアクティビティが3箇所。昼くらいになるとスタッフが休憩に入る事で人手が足りてないのか、更にクローズドのアクティビティが続出。15時前に帰りのバスに乗るまで再開されませんでした。殆ど詐欺レベルという印象です。他の日なら違ったのかもしれませんが、私達家族が行けたのは其の日だけなワケで。申し込むなら運次第でしょうね。

I was hesitant to participate because I'm not good with heights, but I decided to join since it was a special opportunity. Once I got up there, the fear disappeared, and I was just able to enjoy the wonderful scenery. It was an extraordinary experience. Before I knew it, it was over, and I was laughing. The final landing was expertly done by the professionals, gently touching down in the sea. It really got my adrenaline pumping. The boat was quite rocky, so a strong motion sickness pill is a must.

高い所は苦手で参加するか迷いましたが、せっかくなのでと参加しました。
上がってしまえば怖さはなく、ただただ素敵な景色が見える♪非日常な体験です。
ワーワー言っているうちに終わります笑
最後の着水はプロの技で上手に海にポチョンとつけてくれました。テンション上がります。
船の揺れはすごいのでガッチリ効く酔い止め必須です。

A magnificent and lively circus with a comical and heartwarming structure. As expected, it's great! It seems like even 4-5 year olds would enjoy it. Next time, I will bring my grandchild.

華麗に躍動するサーカスとコミカルでホッと笑える構成。さすが👍　４-５歳でも楽しく観れそうです。次回は孫を連れて来ます。

Cousin Gaby was hilarious and informative. The site was breathtaking.

We enjoyed this trip a lot. The crew did they best to make sure we had good time and were safe. Live music was awesome!

The staff were very kind, and it was a fun experience. They do some really enjoyable things, so let's keep the energy high!

スタッフな方もとても親切で楽しい経験でした。なかなか楽しいこともしてくれるので、テンション高めいきましょう。

It was a very good and fun experience, from pushing out the canoe to lifting it up, together with the staff. We paddled out to the open sea and rode the waves. I definitely want to recommend it.

カヌーを押し出すところから、押し上げる迄、スタッフの方達といっしょで、とてもいい　楽しい経験でした。沖まで漕いで、波に乗って。　是非ともおすすめしたいです。

Out of 16 participants, we were the only two Japanese. On the bus, we introduced ourselves in English, and if you're proficient in English, you'll have a great time. The guide was kind, but we understood more than half of the content. In the morning activities, swimming was prohibited at the waterfall in the botanical garden due to lack of rain (the waterfall itself was dry and not flowing), so I recommend snorkeling. The kayaking was just under an hour on the river. The stops along the bus route included a coconut farm, a fruit stand (a roadside shop), and a shopping mall (single-story). We bought a papaya for $4 at the fruit stand (it was perfectly ripe and very delicious when we ate it at the hotel), and we had Matsumoto's shaved ice at the shopping mall. We had plenty of time and enjoyed ourselves.

参加者16人中、日本人は私たち２人だけ。バスでは英語で自己紹介をするなど、英語が堪能であれば十分楽しめます。ガイドさんは親切でしたが、私たちは半分以上内容を理解できませんでした。午前中のアクティビティーは、植物園の滝は雨不足で水泳禁止だったので（滝自体、枯れ枯れで流れていません）、シュノーケリングをお勧めします。カヤックは川で１時間弱。バスの途中立ち寄り場所は、ココナッツ農園、フルーツスタンド（道路脇の売店）、ショッピングモール（平屋）でした。フルーツスタンドでパパイアを１個$4で買い（ホテルで食べたら、食べごろでとてもおいしかったです）、ショッピングモールでマツモトのかき氷を食べました。時間的には余裕があり楽しめました。

We participated as a couple. We were a bit anxious since we were the only Japanese people there, but the staff member Tamae provided us with detailed explanations in Japanese and frequently checked in with us, which made us feel at ease. The manta rays in the night sea were incredibly powerful, and it was a very mystical experience.

夫婦で参加させてもらいました。日本人が私たちのみで不安でしたが、スタッフのタマエさんが日本語で丁寧な説明や頻回な声かけをしてくださり安心できました。夜の海でのマンタは大迫力で、とても神秘的な体験ができました。
