All Reviews for Waikiki Beach, Oahu

We were seated for the dinner buffet in the order we checked in. Overall, the food was delicious, and during the meal, several people were invited to participate in a basic hula lesson, and my husband was called up with a "Come on!" and seemed to have a great time.

After eating the dinner buffet outside, everyone moved to the theater in their own time, but the seating inside the theater was first-come, first-served. If we had taken a little longer to enjoy dessert, there would have only been seats at the edges. Everyone was saying, "Is it really first-come, first-served?" so I think it would be good to place a notice in Japanese on the dinner buffet table regarding this.

Photography was not allowed during the show, but taking pictures without flash was okay. We enjoyed our last night in Hawaii with impersonators of Elvis and Michael, as well as the hula show.

チェックインした順からディナービュッフェの座席を座っていく感じでした。お料理は全体的に美味しかったですし、食事中にフラの基本レッスンに数名呼ばれて、うちの主人もカモン！と言われ前へ出て楽しそうにしていました。
ディナービュッフェを外で食べた後、食べ終わった人から各自で劇場の方へ移動するのですが、その劇場内の座席は早い者順という感じでした。もうちょっとゆっくりデザートを食べてたら、端の方しか座席がなかったです。「えー 早い者勝ちなの？」と皆んなが言ってたので、日本語でその旨案内の紙を、ディナービュッフェのテーブルに置いた方が良いと思います。
ショーはビデオ撮影はNGでしたが、フラッシュなしの写真撮影はOKでした。プレスリーとマイケルのそっくりさん、フラショーなど、ハワイ最後の夜を楽しませてもらいました。

First of all, the reception staff, the captain, and the crew were all cheerful and made it a fun experience! Everyone except for us Japanese was foreign (two couples and three women), but we managed to have a friendly atmosphere in a sort of casual English.

We participated as two adults, a 9th-grade boy, a 6th-grade girl, and a 1st-grade girl, and we split into two groups: my wife with the middle schooler, and me with the two daughters, heading up into the sky. The feeling of lifting off from that boat was special.

Up in the air, it was a strange sensation where all you could hear was the sound of the wind, and we could see everything from Diamond Head to Waikiki Beach. The crew took various photos for us, which they sell on an SD card for $30. Some people were taking their own pictures, but we decided against it due to the risk of dropping our phones in the air and the potential for them to get wet during the final splashdown.

I gave a $20 tip, and they were very happy to receive it. The ride lasted about an hour, and my son, who is prone to motion sickness, felt a bit queasy, but he managed to be okay. It was a lot of fun!

まず第一に受付さんから、キャプテン(船長さん)、クルー(船員さん)が明るく楽しくしてくれます！
私たち日本人以外は全て外国人(カップル2組、女子3人)でしたが、何となくのノリ英語で和気あいあいな感じでした。
大人2人、中学3年生(男)、小学6年生(女)、小学1年生(女)で参加しましたが、家内＋中学生、私と娘2人に別れて上空へ。
あの船から浮き上がる？飛び立つ？感覚は特別でした。
上空は風の音しか聞こえない何とも不思議な感覚で、ダイヤモンドヘッドからワイキキビーチ全て見渡せました。
写真はクルーの方が色々と撮ってくれて、SDカードで販売してくれます。(30ドル)
自分達で撮ってる方もいましたが、上空で落とすリスクと最後の海ポチャ？の時の水没を、考えてスマホはなしにしました。
チップは20ドルお渡ししました！大変喜んでもらえました。
1時間程の乗船ですので、船酔いしやすい息子が少し気持ち悪くなりつつありましたが、何とか大丈夫でした。
大変楽しかったです！

I requested a private lesson for my 7-year-old child's first surfing experience. The instructor didn't seem unmotivated, but I got the impression that they were just meeting the minimum requirements. My child seemed to have fun, though.

7歳のこどもの初サーフィンで、プライベートレッスンをお願いしました。インストラクターは、やる気がないとは言いませんが、最低限のノルマをこなしているという印象でした。こどもは楽しかったようです。

I have seen sea turtles several times before, but this time I was able to get so close that it felt like I was about to bump into one, and it was very exciting.

It was quite rare for Waikiki, which is usually full of Japanese people, to have no other Japanese participants or staff besides my family, and that atmosphere felt very refreshing.

これまでも何度か海ガメを見たことはありますが、今回はぶつかりそうなくらいに近くまで接近することが出来て、とてもエキサイティングでした。

日本人だらけのワイキキにしては珍しく、我家以外に日本人の参加者やスタッフがおらず、その雰囲気がとても新鮮でした。

The weather was great, and I was able to participate without feeling seasick at all. The boat itself, heading out into the vast ocean, was also enjoyable. The driver and the crew were very cheerful, which lifted everyone's spirits.

My children (ages 9 and 13) were a bit scared at first since it was their first experience, but they quickly got used to it and had fun once we were flying in the sky. The scenery was also very beautiful. It became a wonderful memory of our trip to Hawaii.

天気が良く、船に全く酔うことなく参加できました。
　大海原に繰り出す船自体も楽しかったです。送迎のドライバーも船員も大変陽気な方々でテンションがあがりました。

子供（9歳と13歳）達は、始めての体験に少々怖がっていましたが、空を飛ぶとですぐに慣れて楽しんでました。景色も大変良かったです。ハワイ旅行のいい思い出になりました。

I had heard that there were few Japanese people on this experience, and there were none besides us during our time. All the announcements were in English, so there were many moments when my husband and I, with our limited English skills, didn't quite understand what was being said. However, as long as you go with the flow of those around you, you'll be fine. They also respond casually to questions, even if you ask in broken English.

Before departure, they showed us a board written in Japanese that included information about drinks, safety on the boat, and tips.

For those with experience, it was okay to take off the life jackets, so we dove in without wearing them (they are mandatory in emergencies and are provided to everyone). They also lent fins for free to everyone. Life jackets and masks were distributed on the boat, and just before entering the water, they applied anti-fog solution to the masks and handed us the fins. However, the fins were a bit large since the sizes were quite general.

The depth of the sea was probably around 10 to 15 meters, and we got to see sea turtles! (There were several of them.) The fish we saw were black and a bit striped, so I wouldn't expect a colorful variety.

When we came up once, there were already people on the boat drinking alcohol. When we tried to go back into the sea, they kindly informed us that we had about five minutes left, saying, "This is the last chance!" (of course, in English).

At the end, there were people enjoying jumping off the boat. It was heartwarming to see everyone cheering and laughing as the kids jumped in.

I thought we would head back right away, but instead, we sailed further before returning, enjoying nearly an hour of sailing. It was quite rocky, so I would recommend taking motion sickness medication. The foreigners seemed to have a strong image, but some were looking quite exhausted. Of course, there were also some strong ones who were drinking heavily!

The payment for drinks was on a self-report basis after returning to the sandy beach. At that time, we put tips in a box, and the captain rang a bell and expressed his gratitude.

There were many small children, so it seems like families can enjoy this as well. The boat also had a restroom.

こちらの体験談で、日本人が少ないと聞いていましたが、私たちの時も日本人は他にいませんでした。
案内も全て英語でしたので、英語力の乏しい私たち夫婦には途中のアナウンスがよく分からない場面も多々ありました笑
でも周りの人たちに合わせていれば大丈夫です。また、拙い英語で質問しても気軽に答えてくれます。
出発前には日本語で書かれたボードを1枚見せてくれました。(飲み物や船上での注意、チップについてなどが書かれていました)

ライフジャケットは、経験のある人は外してもokでしたので、着用せずに潜りました。(緊急時は必須とのことで、全員に配られます)
またフィンも全員無料で貸してくれました。
船上でライフジャケットとマスクが配られ、海に入る直前に、マスクに曇り止めを付けてもらい、フィンを受け取ってGOです。ただ、フィンはサイズがザックリしているので、少し大きかったです。
海の深さは恐らく10〜15m位の所で、ウミガメにも会えました！(しかも何匹もいました)魚は、黒い魚と少しシマシマ模様の魚、という感じです。カラフルな感じは期待できないかと。

途中一度上がると、船では既にお酒を飲んでいる人たちも。再度海に入ろうとすると、丁寧にあと5分くらいで終わりだからラストね！と声をかけてくれました(もちろん英語ですが)

最後は、船からの飛び込みを楽しむ人たちも。子どもが飛び込むのをみんなで、笑いながら応援していて微笑ましかったです。

そのあとすぐ帰るのかと思いきや、もっと奥まで船を進めてから戻るコースで、1時間近くセーリングを楽しめました。結構波に揺られるので、酔い止めは必須かと。外国人の方は勝手に強いイメージでしたが、何人かグッタリしていました。もちろん、がんがんお酒を飲みまくる強者も笑

飲み物の精算は、砂浜に帰ってから船上で申告制でした。その時にboxの中へチップを。入れると船長がベルを鳴らして感謝の言葉を言ってくれていました。

小さい子どもも沢山いたので、家族連れでも楽しめそうです。船にはトイレも付いていました。

I participated on New Year's Day with hopes that 2018 would be a wonderful year.

The departure point for the catamaran was a bit hard to find, but I asked someone at a nearby shop and managed to locate it.

When boarding the cruise, you will have to step into the water from the sandy beach, so it's recommended to wear flip-flops or go barefoot.

There were many participants from countries other than Japan, allowing us to enjoy an international atmosphere.

The sight of the large sun slowly setting over the coastline is breathtaking. This tour allows you to feel the grandeur of Hawaii's nature. The boat returns just after the sun has completely set, so you can thoroughly enjoy the view of the sunset.

The boat has a restroom, but be careful not to drink too much water (laughs).

2018年が素晴らしい１年になるよう願いを込めて、元旦に参加しました。

カタマラン出港場所が少し分かりにくく、
近くのお店の人に聞いて見つけました。

クルーズに乗り込む時は、砂浜から船に乗るため、水に足が浸かる形となります。乗る時はビーチサンダルか裸足がオススメです。

日本人以外の参加者の方も多く、インターナショナルな雰囲気が味わえます。

海岸線に大きな太陽がゆっくりと沈んでいく様子は圧巻です。
ハワイの自然の雄大さを感じられるツアーです。
夕日が完全に沈み終わった頃に船が帰着するので、日が沈んでいく様子をじっくりと楽しむことができました。

船にトイレは付いていますが、水分の取りすぎには要注意かも（笑）。

I participated with my 8-year-old son, and the sailing trip to the distant ocean was wonderful. The view of Waikiki and Diamond Head from out at sea was great! Occasionally, we got splashed by big waves and felt the wind, which got my son really excited!

８歳の息子と二人で参加しましたが、遠い沖までのセーリングで、離れた海の上からのワイキキ、ダイヤモンドヘッドの眺めが良かったです！
時折、大きな波を被ったり、風を感じて、息子も大興奮でした！

As mentioned in the initial notes, taking motion sickness medication was definitely the right choice. The boat can hold about ten people and goes quite far out. You’re on the boat for a while until it’s your turn, so it rocks quite a bit and the waves are intense. Watching the people in front put on parachutes and fly into the sky is… a bit scary. They soar away like kites at an incredible speed.

However, once you muster the courage to jump, there’s no fear at all, and you get swept away into the world of the sky! The view of Diamond Head, Waikiki Beach, numerous hotels, and the endlessly expanding blue sky and emerald green sea is just amazing! The swaying feels like being on a swing, gently rocking, but the captain’s driving technique makes it quite dynamic. Since we were relatively young, we were tossed around quite a bit. Other young couples were also getting a good shake. It was really fun, and everyone who participated was super excited! It felt great to share that sense of unity.

For some reason, there was a conspicuous display of tips from the previous guests inside the boat… which was a bit disappointing, but I thought it was okay. Maybe I just didn’t understand, and it could be the norm.

When we returned to the harbor, they asked if we wanted to buy the SD card with the photos. It’s difficult to take pictures yourself while flying until you stabilize, so I thought purchasing it might be a good idea. The SD card was $30. We decided to buy it since we had such great memories, but some others chose not to.

Overall, it’s a lot of fun, and you really get to feel like a bird. If you love swings, you should definitely try it!

最初に注意書きにあった通り、酔い止めを飲んで正解でした。ボートは１０人くらい乗れるタイプで、結構沖まで行きます。順番がくるまではずっとボートなので、かなり揺れますし波が凄いです。前の方がパラシュートを装着して空に飛んで行くのは…ちょっと怖いです…。すっごい勢いで凧のように飛んでいきます。
でも覚悟を決め飛ぶと、恐怖なんて全くなく、空の世界に吸い込まれて行きます！目の前に広がるダイヤモンドヘッド、ワイキキビーチ、沢山のホテル、そしてどこまでも広がる青い空とエメラルドグリーンの海、最高です！揺れ具合はブランコのようで、ゆらゆら揺れますが、船長さんのドライビングテクニックで沢山動かされます。私たちは比較的若い方だったので結構揺らされました。他の若いカップルもガンガンやられてました。それもかなり面白く、一緒に参加した方たちも大盛り上がり！一体感があってよかったです。
船にの中に何故かわざとらしく前の人のチップが飾ってあり…ちょっと残念だったのでよかったにしました。でも私がわかってないだけで、相場くらいなのかもしれません。
港に戻ると写真のSDカード購入希望を聞かれます。飛んでる最中は安定するまで自分で写真を撮るのは難しいので、購入ありかなと思いました。SDカードは３０ドルでした。私たちはいい思い出だったので購入することにしましたが、他の方は何人か購入されませんでした。
とにかく面白いですし、鳥になった感じを味わえます。ブランコ好きな方は是非！

It's amazing. The unique crew is fun. It's English-only, but I was able to understand through gestures, which added to the atmosphere and was great.

最高です。ユニークなクルーで楽しいです。英語オンリーですが、ジェスチャーで理解でき、そこがまた雰囲気あって良かったです。

Everything was perfect from check in to the end of the trip. Guides are awesome, really helpful and made us feel like rock stars!

I attended with my colleagues on August 15. We had diamond seats, but we arrived a bit late, so we had to wait in line for a little while, but we really enjoyed the show. The food had limited options and wasn't very tasty, but the show was truly great. The male dancers were quite impressive, and each of them did something secretly funny, which kept us laughing the whole time. The female dancers were also very lovely, and it seemed like the men from our company were quite captivated (laughs). I would like to go again, but since the food was lackluster, next time I want to just watch the show.

8月15日に会社の仲間と参加しました。ダイヤモンドシートですが少し遅れたのでこれまた少し並びましたがショーは楽しめました。
食事は種類も少なく、あまり美味しくなかったですが、ショーが本当に良かったです。男性のダンサーはかなり迫力あるし、各々がこっそり面白い事をしてくれるし終始笑っていられました。女性のダンサーもとても素敵で会社の男性陣はかなり魅了されてたようでした（笑）
また行きたいですが、食事がイマイチなので次はショーだけを見たりしたいです。

The shuttle service was very smooth, and I challenged myself with my 8-year-old daughter for 150 meters! It became the best memory! I want to do it again when I come to Hawaii.

送迎もとてもスムーズで8歳の娘と150メートル挑戦しました！最高の思い出となりました！またハワイ来たらやりたいです。

I had to wait quite a long time to exchange my tickets. However, there was a slight sense of superiority as only those with Diamond Seats were allowed to enter at the last moment.

Benefits of the Diamond Seats:
The central front row is indeed central, but the show also faces the sides, so I didn't feel much of an advantage. They say dinner is prioritized, but those without Diamond Seats were the first to be ushered in for meals, and the staff said nothing about it. The crowd was mostly from Southeast Asia. The food was also mediocre.

For just the show, the price of the Diamond Seats seems a bit excessive.

チケット交換にかなりの時間並ばされました。しかしギリギリでダイヤモンドシートだけが優先に入場出来るタイミングで少しの優越感。
ダイヤモンドシートのメリット
中央前列、確かに中央だけどショーはサイドにも向いてやるのでメリットを感じない
ディナーも優先と言ってるがダイヤモンドシート以外が最初に食事に流れこむがスタッフは何も言わず。流れこむのは東南アジア
食事もイマイチ
ショーだけにダイヤモンドシートの料金は勿体無いかな

The boat ride was enjoyable thanks to the cheerful staff. They also take great photos, which is fantastic. If you want the photos, it costs money, so it's good to bring some. It's at your own risk, but you can experience the ride while holding a GoPro or your phone. I was nervous, but thanks to the friendly and attentive staff, I had an amazing time. There was also a local female staff member who spoke Japanese. She doesn't board the boat but is in the hut, so the procedures are安心. Overall, you can leave everything to them and enjoy in elegance, which was truly wonderful!

移動の船の上も、陽気なスタッフさんのおかげで楽しい。写真もしっかり撮ってくれるし最高です。写真が欲しかったらお金がかかるので持ってくとよし。自己責任ですがゴープロや携帯を持ちながらの体験が可能です。緊張しましたが陽気で丁寧なスタッフさんのおかげで最高な時間を過ごせました。日本語を話せる現地女性のスタッフもいらっしゃいました。その方は船には乗りませんが小屋にいるので手続きなど安心。とにかく全てを任せて優雅に楽しめるのでほんとに最高でした！

I had previously taken the catamaran during the day and found it very pleasant, so this time I chose this plan to enjoy the sunset, the catamaran, and some drinks! The catamaran was indeed enjoyable! The weather was great, and the sunset was amazing! There were not only beers but also Mai Tais and sparkling wine. They were delicious!

Last time I went, it was quite windy and cold, so I brought a long-sleeved hoodie, which was just right. However, it seemed tough for those who are prone to seasickness... If you don’t get seasick, I recommend the catamaran over the luxurious sunset cruise!

お昼のカタマランは以前乗ったことがあり、とても気持ち良かったので、今回は是非サンセットとカタマランとお酒を楽しめるこのプランにしました！
やっぱりカタマランは気持ち良かった！天気がよくて、サンセットも最高でした！アルコールも、ビールだけじゃなくてマイタイやスパークリングワインもありました。美味しかったです！
前回乗ったとき、風がかなりあり寒かったので、長袖のパーカーを持参したところ、ちょうどいい具合でした。
ただ、船酔いしやすい人はつらそうでした…。船酔いしないならば、豪華サンセットクルーズよりもカタマランがおすすめです！

This was amazing, I would recommend it to everyone who wants to snorkel with turtles. Not to mention the crew was amazing and very funny. Then we sailed to try to see dolphins and other marine life.

We were the only Japanese passengers among many! It was refreshing to not see any other Japanese people on the optional tour in Hawaii! The yacht was a catamaran, so there was no side-to-side rocking, making it extremely stable! The wind was refreshing as we sped along! We enjoyed the beautiful blue waters to our heart's content while drinking beer. They even stopped the yacht along the way so we could all experience jumping in. I want to ride again the next time I come back!

数々の乗客で日本人は自分達2人だけでしたね❗
ハワイのオプショナルツアーで逆に日本人が居ないのが新鮮でしたね❗
ヨットはカタマランなので横揺れがないのであんていせい抜群❗
風を受けて突っ走る、風が心地よい❗
ビールを飲みながら、青いを思う存分楽しめました｡
途中でヨットを停めてくれて、皆で飛び込みも体験させてくれる。
次回また来た時にもまた乗りたい❗

On the third day of our five-day stay in Hawaii, we attended the Rock-a-Hula show. There is a dedicated venue for the Rock-a-Hula show inside the Royal Hawaiian Center in the heart of Waikiki, making it easily accessible from any hotel in the downtown area. The same building also has many popular shops, so we enjoyed shopping before and after the show. I think it's a good idea to incorporate shopping into your plans.

Since we opted for the dinner and show package, we were welcomed with a drink and guided to a special table right in front of the stage before the show started. Although there were many empty seats, it was a bit disappointing that we were seated right next to other reserved guests. I wish they had used the seating more spaciously. The table already had lobster dishes set up, so we could start eating as soon as we sat down. The taste of the food was average. It felt luxurious with steak and lobster, but the flavor was just ordinary. The highlight was the show. Just as we finished our meal, the show began. The dedicated singers and dancers performed hula dances, songs related to Hawaii, Michael Jackson songs, and Elvis Presley songs right in front of us. True to its name, the live performance was powerful. We watched the show for about an hour, and it concluded with a finale.

ハワイ滞在5日間のうちのちょうど真ん中の３日目に、ロック・ア・フラ・ショーに参加しました。ワイキキ中心街のロイヤルハワイアンセンター内にロック・ア・フラ・ショーの専用の施設があるので、中心街のホテルかならどのホテルからでもすぐに行けます。同じ建物には、人気のショップがたくさんあるので、ショーの前後に買い物も楽しめました。買い物の予定も組み込んでおいてもいいと思います。
私たちはディナーアンドショーにしたので、ショーが始まるまでに、ウェルカムドリンクがあり、ステージ真ん前の特設テーブルに誘導されました。たくさん席が空いていたのに、他の予約客とすぐ隣の席にされてしまったのが少し残念でした。もっとゆったりと席を使ってくれたらと思います。テーブルにはすでにロブスター料理が置いてあり、着席してすぐに食べることができました。料理の味は普通でした。ステーキやロブスターで豪華な感じですが、味は普通です。よかったのは、ショーです。料理を食べ終わった頃ショーが始まります。フラダンス、ハワイにまつわる歌、マイケルジャクソンの歌、エルビスプレスリーの歌などを、専属の歌手とダンサーが目の前で披露してくれます。ロックというだけあって、生演奏での演奏も迫力があります。1時間ほどショーを見て、フィナーレとなりました。

First, we had a meal at the buffet, which included a simple hula dance show. Guests can join in and have fun dancing together. The food was delicious, especially the carved roast beef and the sherbet for dessert. There was also a treasure hunt game for small children. The show featured live music, and the female singer's voice was particularly good. I highly recommend it.

最初にバフェで食事をしますが、簡単なフラダンスショーがあります。お客さんも一緒に踊ったりして盛りあげてもらえます。食事も美味しかった。ローストビーフの切り分けや、デザートのシャーベットがGood.小さな子供には宝探しゲームもあった。ショーは生演奏で特に女性歌手の歌声がよかった。おすすめです。

The traditional hula dance in Hawaii was filled with well-known dance songs, and I couldn't stop smiling from start to finish.

The cast was really close, and their spirit of service was outstanding! I highly recommend the dinner show! The food included lobster, meat, salmon, and Hawaiian coffee for dessert, making it very filling.

I definitely want to participate again when I come back to Hawaii! I think families, couples, and friends can all enjoy it!

ハワイ伝統のフラダンスから誰もが知っているダンスソングナンバーがいっぱいで最初から最後まで笑顔が止まりませんでした

キャストさんとの距離が本当に近くてサービス精神も満点！ディナーショーおすすめです！
お料理もロブスター、お肉、サーモン、食後にはハワイアンコーヒーも付いていてボリューム満点でした

またハワイに来た際は是非参加したいです！
家族、カップル、友達幅広く楽しめると思います♪

We had a blast. Staff and skipper were sensational. Good drinks and a bloody good time!

The catamaran was amazing. One of the highlights of our trip to Hawaii. The crew were very friendly and seeing the turtles was amazing. Definitely a must do if we ever come back to Hawaii I will do it again

The boat was easy to find right on the beach, the experience overall was great, the captain was nice as well as the crew.
I would definitely recommend this turtle snorkel to everyone.

It was so much fun! The crew was very kind! Once we got out to sea, it was quite rocky, so I recommend taking motion sickness medication! We gave a $20 tip for the two of us!

とっても楽しかったですー！船の人も優しい！沖に出て、結構揺れるので、酔い止め服用をおすすめします！チップは二人で20ドル渡しました！

The cheerful staff made it a fun experience. It was great that they could understand a little Japanese too. The shuttle service was very smooth and arrived on time. If I have the chance to go again, I would like to try parasailing!

陽気なスタッフさんで楽しかったです。
少し日本語も通じるので良かったです^_^
送迎もとてもスムーズで時間通りにきていただきました^_^またいく機会があったらパラセーリングしたいと思います^_^

I participated for the first time on a Friday night when the Hilton had fireworks. I thought the fireworks would be far away, but they were quite close and very beautiful! After that, I enjoyed the stunning night sky filled with stars. There wasn't anything particularly eventful, but the relaxed hour and a half spent sipping Mai Tais and wine was fantastic. Next time, I definitely want to go sailing during the day!

初めて参加しました。ヒルトンの花火がある金曜の夜に。花火は遠くからかなー、と思っていたのですが、かなり近くでとってもきれい！その後夜空の美しい星空も楽しめました。特にイベントらしいものはありませんでしたが、マイタイやワインを飲みながらゆったり流れる約一時間半の時間は最高でした。今度は昼のセーリングにぜひ行きたいです！

I found this tour while searching for relaxing activities to join in the afternoon just before my trip. The two-and-a-half-hour tour allowed us to snorkel off the coast of Waikiki, and we could also enjoy the beautiful views of Waikiki while on the boat—it was fantastic! We were able to see sea turtles and tropical fish without having to travel far, which was very moving. I often have so many things I want to do that my schedule becomes hectic, and I thought I might have to give up on snorkeling, but this tour offers plenty of opportunities to enjoy the ocean. It's also great for families! There were many other foreign participants, so we could all have a fun time together!

午後からゆっくり参加できるアクティビティを旅行直前まで探していた時にみつけたツアーでした。ワイキキ沖でシュノーケリングができ、しかも船に乗りながらゆっくりとワイキキの景色も堪能できる２時間半のツアーは最高でした！時間かけて遠くまで行かなくてもウミガメや熱帯魚も見れてとても感動♪いつもやりたいことが多くて、ハードスケジュールになる為、シュノーケリングを諦めないといけないかなぁと思っていましたがこちらのツアーは充分に海を楽しめる内容です。家族連れの方にも楽しめます！他の外国人の方もたくさん参加されていましたのでみんなでワイワイ楽しく過ごせます！

I was worried about the weather, but everything went smoothly. Our group consisted of four family members, another family of four, and a couple. Everyone was Japanese. Swimwear is recommended. Towards the end, there was a service where you get splashed, so you will get wet. I wore aqua shoes so that my footwear wouldn't get wet, but I was told to take them off when jumping. I personally think flip-flops would be fine as long as you are careful not to slip when boarding. If you're worried, wear non-slip shoes. I took photos from above with my own camera and also purchased the photo service SD card for $30. We had two flights with two people each from our family, but we were able to buy the card for all four of us for $30. It seemed like not many others purchased it, but there were about 100 images on the card. It’s a nice keepsake, and I’m glad I bought it. When we got off at the end, I gave the captain a $30 tip for the four of us. I used a total of $60 in cash.

天候が心配でしたが、無事にできました。
ウチが4人家族、他に4人家族がもう1組とカップル1組。
全員が日本人でした。
服装は水着が良いです。
最後の方にサービス？の尻ポチャがあり、濡れます。
履物は濡れても良いように、アクアシューズを履いていきましたが
飛ぶ時に裸足になるように言われ、脱ぎました。
乗船の時に滑らないように気を付ければ、ビーサンでも良いかなと
個人的には思います。心配なら滑らない履物で。

現金は合計で60ドル使用しました。

We used the service with three family members. There were only two other Japanese groups, and most of the participants were from Europe and America. Therefore, the staff provided all instructions in English, and they spoke very quickly. As someone who is not good at English at all, I could hardly understand anything (laughs). The staff didn't pay extra attention just because I was Japanese, so a certain level of English proficiency is essential. In fact, it might be better to try to communicate in broken English, as it could make other participants feel more comfortable.

If you can get past that, the atmosphere of everyone having fun together is really enjoyable, and the sunset is incredibly beautiful. I hope this helps!

家族3人で利用させてもらいました。他に日本人グループは2組だけで、ほとんどが欧米人の参加者。なのでスタッフもオール英語の案内。しかも早口のマシンガントーク。英語が全くダメな私はほぼ聞き取れませんでした（笑）スタッフも日本人だからということで気にかけてくれるわけではありませんので、ある程度の英語力は必須です。それどころか、他の参加者に気を使わせてしまうので、下手な英語でもコミュニケーションをとるようにした方がいいと思います。
そこをクリアすれば、みんなでワイワイやる雰囲気はとても楽しい（楽しそう）ですし、夕日も最高に綺麗です。参考になれば。
