After passing by the pool bar at the Sheraton Waikiki Hotel, we arrived at the check-in area. After signing some documents, we boarded the boat right in front of the beach.
Once we set sail, we were immediately served Mai Tais and enjoyed cruising while taking in the night view. We watched fireworks in front of the Hilton Hotel! The view of the fireworks from the sea was fantastic as we could see the entire display!
After the fireworks, we cruised for a while, admiring the beautiful night view of the hotels. I went with my mother, who is in her 80s, and we had a great time without any rocking.
It was mid-July, but it was surprisingly chilly on the water during the fireworks, so having something to wrap around you would be nice. After the tour, we disembarked on the beach, so our feet were covered in sand, but there was no place to wash them off.
Since it was an English tour, we were the only Japanese people there. I can't speak English, but it was no problem at all, and we had a wonderful time!
シェラトンワイキキホテルのプールバー横を抜けると、チェックイン場所に到着。書類にサインした後、目の前の浜辺から上船します。
出航したら、すぐ、マイタイが配られ、夜景を楽しみながらクルージング。そして、ヒルトンホテル前で花火鑑賞!海から眺める花火は、全体が見えてとても素敵!
花火後は、華やかな夜景のホテル群を眺めながら、しばらくクルージング。
80代の母と乗りましたが、揺れもなく楽しめました。
7月中旬でしたが、花火の時間帯の海上は意外と肌寒いので、羽織るものがあるといいですね。
ツアーが終わると浜辺に降りるので、足は砂だらけですが、洗う場所はありません。
英語ツアーだったせいか、日本人は私達だけ。英語はできないけど、全く問題なく、素敵な時間を過ごせました!

The weather was unfortunately cloudy, but I was able to fully enjoy ocean activities like snorkeling, floating with a ring, and stand-up paddleboarding! During snorkeling, the captain pointed out a sea turtle hiding and sleeping among the rocks, and I was moved to see the turtle up close.
This was my mistake, but I didn't check the time for when the sandbar would appear, so I couldn't walk on the beach. Next time, I want to make sure to check the low tide time before participating!
Also, the staff's service was wonderful!! The spam onigiri and coffee they prepared were delicious!
However, we departed with two boats, one exclusively for Japanese guests and the other for non-Japanese guests. Personally, I believe that spending time with people from various countries is one of the great pleasures of traveling abroad, so it was disappointing that all the passengers were Japanese. That said, I think some passengers felt reassured to be among all Japanese guests, and on the Japanese boat, there was a staff member who was very fluent in Japanese, creating a comfortable environment for many! Thank you for a wonderful experience!
天気はあいにくの曇りでしたが、シュノーケリング、浮き輪、SUPで海のアクティビティを満喫できました!また、シュノーケリングではキャプテンの方がウミガメが岩間に隠れて寝ているところを教えてくださり、間近でウミガメを見られて感動しました。
これはわたしのミスですが、サンドバーが現れる時間を調べていなかったため、砂浜を歩くことはできませんでした。今度はきちんと干潮の時間を調べてから参加したいです!
また、スタッフの方々のご対応は素晴らしかったです!!用意してくださっていたスパムおにぎりやコーヒーも美味しかったです!
ただ、2隻の船で出発したのですが、片方が日本人のお客さんオンリー、もう片方は日本人以外のお客さんといった形で振り分けられており、個人的には様々な国の方々と同じ空間で過ごせることも海外旅行の大きな醍醐味だと思っているため、乗客が全員日本人の方だったのは残念でした。とはいえ、乗客が全員日本人で安心した方もいると思いますし、日本人号には日本語が大変流暢なスタッフさんがおり、多くの方にとって安心できる環境だったとも思います!素敵な体験をありがとうございました!

The morning pickup location was in front of the Twin Fin Hotel, so I walked from my accommodation. A large bus labeled "Kualoa Ranch" arrived, and most of the participants were from overseas. Once we arrived, there was a tour guide for Japanese participants, which was great. The buggy experience was guided entirely in English, so I couldn't understand what was being said, but I felt reassured because I could watch instructional videos in Japanese. The accelerator is quite heavy, so you need to press it firmly to move forward. I am 148 cm tall, and unfortunately, the seatbelt was tight, and I couldn't reach the pedals to drive, which was disappointing, but overall it was a very enjoyable tour. I had prepared myself after reading other people's reviews, but I was surprised at how dirty we got. I recommend that women bring cleansing wipes and moisturizing cream! Also, it was very cold on the bus ride there.
朝のピックアップ場所はツインフィンホテルの前だったので、宿泊先から歩いて行きました。

現地についてから、日本人参加者には、園内案内。日本語のガイドさんがいてくださったので良かったです。バギー体験は全て英語のガイドなので、何を言ってるかわかりませんでしたが、操作については日本語動画を見れるので安心できます。アクセルの踏み込みが重たいので、思い切り踏まないと進まないです。私は身長が148センチなのですが、シートベルとがかたく、足が届かず運転できなかったのが残念でしたが、総じてとっても楽しいツアーでした。他の方の口コミを見て覚悟はしてましたが、びっくりするくらい汚れます。女性は、クレンジングシートと保湿クリームを所持されることをおすすめします!あとは、行きのバスの中ぎとても寒かったです。

There was a live performance on the boat, which was enjoyable. During snorkeling, I was able to see many fish even in shallow areas, which was delightful. Since I had been in the water for a long time, it was cold on the way back on the boat, so I think it would be good to spend some free time in the sun.

It’s advisable to have a wetsuit because it can get cold. However, I only brought cash, as I didn’t have a credit card, and I was in trouble because I couldn’t pay the parking fee. Fortunately, a Japanese female staff member from the cruise helped me promptly. In the end, we solved the problem by linking my son’s mobile phone to a credit card. Thank you very much. The snorkeling at Molokini was wonderful, with many beautiful fish to see, and the hamburger was exquisite. It was a relief to have a Japanese person there.

I visited Hanauma Bay for the first time this time. Before making a reservation, I considered going on my own instead of a tour, but I was glad I chose to book a tour.
First of all, Hanauma Bay is reservation-only and very popular, so securing an entry reservation is quite difficult. Additionally, the parking lot is extremely crowded upon arrival, and the guidance is complicated, so if you don't have a decent understanding of English, you might struggle. There are also announcements regarding precautions before entry, but everything is in English, and there is no Japanese guidance, so it can be challenging to understand the content if you're not familiar with English.
By booking a tour, I was able to secure an entry reservation without any issues, and the transportation from the hotel to the site, along with Japanese interpretation and explanations, made the process much smoother. Thanks to the tour allocation, I was able to enter without unnecessary waiting time compared to general visitors.
The snorkeling itself was also very easy because the guides were very experienced and explained everything clearly. (For example, they advised me to unlock my smartphone in advance if I wanted to take photos.) While swimming, there was a guide swimming at the front, and another guide watching carefully from behind. They kept an eye out for participants who seemed to be struggling and would lead us to areas with plenty of fish, so I felt safe participating.
On the day I went, there was some wind and slightly higher waves, so the water was a bit murky, and the visibility didn't seem very high, but I think that's just due to the weather and sea conditions. Even in those conditions, it was enjoyable, so I believe it’s worth going. Even if you don't swim, Hanauma Bay is beautiful just to look at.
In my personal opinion, during the transportation from the hotel to the site, we passed through local areas that are not typically visited on trips, and the local guide provided detailed explanations, allowing me to learn about a side of Hawaii that is not just the tourist spots, which made me happy.
If anyone is considering booking a tour, I would highly recommend it.
今回初めてハナウマ湾を訪れました。
予約前はツアーではなく自力で行くことも検討していましたが、ツアーを申込んで正解でした。
まず、ハナウマ湾は予約制かつとても人気なので入場予約を取ることがそもそも難しいです。
さらに到着後の駐車場は非常に混雑しており、案内も複雑なので英語をそれなりに理解してないと手こずるかと思います。
また入場前に注意事項等の案内がありますがすべて英語で日本語案内などはありませんので、ここも英語に慣れている方でないと内容理解が難しいです。
ツアーを申込むと入場予約を確実に取ることが出来、ホテルから現地までの送迎、日本語での通訳・説明、また入場する際もツアー枠?のおかげか一般の方よりもかなりスムーズに無駄な待ち時間もなく入ることが出来ました。
またシュノーケル自体もガイドの方たちが非常に慣れていて、分かりやすく説明してくださるのでとてもやりやすかったです。
(例えば、スマホを持っていって撮影したいなら事前にロック解除をしといた方がいいですよ、など細かくアドバイスを下さいました)
泳いでる最中も先頭で泳ぐガイドさんの他に後ろできちんと見守ってくださるガイドさんがいらっしゃいます。辛そうにしてる参加者などがいないかしっかり見ていてくださり、魚がたくさんいる場所に手を引いて連れて行ってくれたりしますので安心して参加できます。
私が行った日は風があり波が少し高い日だったので海の中も少し濁っていて、透明度はあまり高くないように感じましたが、それは天候や海の状態なので仕方ないことだと思います。
そんな状態でも楽しかったので行く価値はあると思います。また泳がなくてもハナウマ湾は見てるだけでも美しい海です。
個人的な意見にはなりますが、ホテルから現地までの送迎の際、旅行ではあまり行かないローカルエリアなどを通るのですが、現地ガイドさんがここも細かく説明してくださって観光地としてのハワイではないハワイを知ることが出来たので嬉しかったです。
もしツアー申込みを検討されてる方がいらっしゃればおすすめしたいと思います。

On July 14th, 2023 I went on the Grand Circle Island Tour. It was more than a grand experience! We stopped at places I've never been before like the Pali lookout and Byodo-in Temple. Our tour guide Lola was so funny, and extremely knowledgeable of the island. She even gave us a Poi Donut that was so yummy. Her enthusiastic energy, and experience on island made me feel safe and comfortable riding on her bus all day.
Each stop we had plenty of time to take picture, and learn all about these special places. The tour was extremely diverse making it an experience I'll never forget. The bus was so comfortable with amazing air conditioning, and even had a foot rest. The bus being so high up gave an advantage of seeing sights that you couldn't see in a regular car.
We were given plenty of time in Haleiwa to eat lunch and shop. Lola had many great recommendations for lunch there was so many options it was hard to choose! Stopping at the Dole Plantation was the perfect way to end the tour getting a well deserved sweet treat.
I would recommend this tour to everyone visiting the island whether it's your 1st or 50th time on island. Something for everyone!

As a result, there were some people who got seasick during the wait. So, motion sickness medication is a must!

Due to the price, I was debating whether to purchase this excursion for a family of four. I bit the bullet and purchased it; let me tell you, my experiences from the beginning to the end of the trip, it was magical. Just the drive to the location was a joy in itself, engulfed with the "aw" moment, witnessing the green mountains to the curvy roads. As we arrived at the boating dock, the instruction instructed us to check in near the deli Shop under the red umbrella. We were greeted by smiles and they quickly got us onto the boat after signing the waivers. The boat ride to Kaneohe Bay was worth it-the purchase included a simple breakfast (donuts, orange Juice, and water), live music (please tip the band), and the scenery was heavenly. The best part of this excursion was seeing my family enjoying every moment in the clear water, snorkeling, kayaking, and paddle boarding. The staffs were friendly educating us about the sea animals when we were snorkeling.
Overall, one of the best experiences ever. I would definitely do this again if I were to be in Oahu.

I was guided by Yamachan to Haleakalā. There were three groups with seven people in total: one group from Canada and two groups from Japan. Thanks to the clear guidance in both Japanese and English, I was able to enjoy the experience with peace of mind.
Considering the crowds this time, we skipped Krispy Kreme Doughnuts and headed straight to Haleakalā. First, we stopped by a supermarket and purchased the recommended ahi poke from Yamachan. It was the most delicious ahi poke I’ve ever had! The coffee-flavored Maui cookies I bought at the same supermarket are also highly recommended. I wish I had bought more as souvenirs!
After that, to prevent altitude sickness, we ascended gradually by car. I felt the most dizziness and headache at the 1000m mark, but I had no issues at 2000m and 3000m. The summit was very cold, with a perceived temperature of around 0°C. They provided coats, gloves, and warm tea. I was wearing a hoodie, sweatpants, and a light down jacket, but it was too cold to stay for long, so I recommend preparing warm clothing, including Heattech.
The sea of clouds and the sunset were truly beautiful. The view from the prime spot was a real luxury. I couldn't see the last moment due to the flow of clouds, but I was very satisfied.
The starry sky was so breathtaking that it almost brought me to tears. Thanks to Yamachan's extensive expertise and the specialized telescope I had never seen before, I was able to learn and enjoy more than at a planetarium.
They also took many wonderful photos.
This was a tour that I would definitely want to join again when I visit Maui. Thank you very much.
Just make sure to prepare for the cold...!
ハレアカラ山を山ちゃんさんにに案内して貰いました。3組7人、1組はカナダから、2組は日本からの参加でした。日本語と英語での分かりやすいガイドで終始安心して楽しむことができました。
今回は混雑を考慮しクリスピークリームドーナツは寄らず、そのままハレアカラに向かいました。まずはスーパーに寄って、山ちゃんさんオススメのアヒポキを購入しました。いままでで1番美味しいアヒポキでした!同じスーパーで購入したマウイクッキーのコーヒー味もオススメです✨たくさん買ってお土産にすればよかったくらいでした。
その後、高山病を考慮して車で少しずつ登ってくださいました。1000m地点が1番目眩と頭痛を感じましたが、2000m、3000mは問題なく進むことができました。山頂は体感温度0℃程度でとても寒かったです。コートと手袋、暖かいお茶を用意してくださりました。パーカー、スウェットパンツ、ライトダウンを着用しておりましたが長時間滞在できない寒さだったため、ヒートテックを含めた防寒対策の準備をおすすめします。
足元に広がる雲海、サンセットは本当に美しかったです。特等席でみる景色は本当に贅沢でした。最後の瞬間は雲の流れで見ることが叶いませんでしたが大満足です。
こぼれんばかりの星空には涙が出そうなほど感動しました。山ちゃんさんの豊富な専門と、見たこともない専門的な望遠鏡のお陰で、プラネタリウム以上に学びながら楽しむことができました。
素敵な写真もたくさんおさめてくださりました。
またマウイ島に訪れる際は是非参加したいとと思えるツアーでした。ありがとうございました。

Thank you for participating in the Captain Bruce's Paradise of the Sea Tour. We are truly glad to hear that you enjoyed the tour.
We also appreciate your valuable feedback regarding your anticipation of international exchange during the tour. While we had arranged the boat to ensure that Japanese participants could join comfortably, your comments have made us aware that some guests are looking forward to international interactions as well.
We would be delighted if you could join us again for another tour. Our staff is looking forward to welcoming you back. Mahalo!

またぜひツアーにご参加いただけましたら幸いです。スタッフ一同お待ちしております、Mahalo!
