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。

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.

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!

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.

This time, I went for a Cessna experience. First of all, Shige, who came to pick me up, was very easy to talk to. From the start, I could feel that they have great staff here.
When I arrived, I entered a beautiful store and was greeted by a team of lovely staff members, who guided me to a sofa. After sitting down, a Japanese man with a darker complexion, who was not as beautiful as the staff, came to explain things. He provided a clear explanation of the Cessna in Japanese, and you could sense his desire to make jokes, as he was from the Kansai region.
After the explanation, once I gathered my thoughts, I boarded and headed to the runway. The instructor sat next to me and taught me patiently. After a certain point, he let me take over, and that’s when the Cessna piloting experience started. I was able to fly for about 30 minutes. I recommend doing some stretches before boarding, as I got tense and my body stiffened.
They also took photos from the side during the flight and sent them to me via AirDrop afterward. Since I was visiting for my honeymoon, they surprised me with a special gesture on the sofa after the experience, which I really appreciated.
The man who explained things to me at first was actually the owner! However, his business card listed him as a cleaner and mechanic, and it seems the real owner is his kind wife. She was also very easy to talk to, so I definitely recommend this Cessna experience.

It exceeded my expectations. I participated in two activities, snorkeling and kayaking, in the morning and afternoon. During the bus ride, the driver provided fun explanations and conversations, making the journey enjoyable without getting bored (the driver was incredibly funny and friendly). They were busy giving us sightseeing information, pointing out things to the right and left.
However, there was one issue: at the snorkeling site, the tour description stated that "life jackets are available for free," but I was told that this was not included in the tour price. Even when I mentioned it was written on the voucher, they insisted it was different. Originally, it would have been $10, but since we came on the tour bus, they said it would be $7. There were only my husband and me as Japanese participants; the others were foreigners, and since no one else seemed to say anything, I wondered if they had booked through a different company.
A Japanese staff member was in charge and kindly said, "I'm Japanese, so please let me know if you need anything," which felt a bit strange. I was left wondering if what was written on Veltra was incorrect or if there was a communication issue... It left me feeling uncomfortable.
As for the snorkeling itself, I was able to see turtles and various fish, which was enjoyable. For lunch, I had garlic shrimp from the snorkeling side, and they were huge and delicious! However, there were many chickens running around nearby, and as someone who isn't fond of them, I couldn't fully enjoy my meal. The chickens seemed accustomed to humans and appeared from all over.
The afternoon activity was kayaking, which I had never done before, but I had a lot of fun. At a break during the morning, we stopped by a macadamia nut shop that had Kona coffee, which I couldn't find even in Waikiki. I tasted it and bought some immediately. We also briefly stopped at a place selling fresh fruit in Ziploc bags, where everyone was buying and eating papayas.
Aside from the issue with the life jackets, it was a very enjoyable tour.
期待していた以上の内容でした。
午前と午後のアクティビティ、計2つ、スノーケリングとカヤックに参加しました。
バスで移動する間もドライバーさんの楽しい説明と会話で、飽きることなく楽しめました(すごい面白くてフレンドリーなドライバーさんでした)。
右に左に忙しいくらい、観光案内してくれました。
ただひとつ、スノーケリングのところで、ツアー説明には「ライフジャケットは無料で貸し出しします」と書いてあったのに、ツアー代金にそれは含まれていない、と言われ、バウチャーに書いてあると言っても違うと言われ、本来なら10ドルのところ、ツアーバスで来てるから7ドルでOKと言われました。
日本人の参加者は私たち夫婦だけで、他は外国人で、他の人は特に何も言ってなかったので、申し込んだ会社が違うのかなと思いましたが…。
日本人の人が担当で、「私は日本人なので、何かあれば言ってください」とフレンドリーに声かけてきたのですご、なんだかね、って感じでした。
ベルトラに書かれていることが間違っていたのか、あるいは、連絡がうまく伝わっていないのか…不快な気持ちになりました。
スノーケリング自体は、タートルも見られたし魚も色々見られて楽しめました。
スノーケリングの側のガーリックシュリンプをお昼に食べましたが、すごく大きいシュリンプで美味しかったです!
ただ、そばには鶏がたくさん走り回っていて、苦手な私は食事を楽しむことはできませんでしたが。
鶏は人間に慣れているのか、あちこちから神出鬼没でした。
午後のアクティビティはカヤック、初めてでしたがとても楽しめました。
午前中途中の休憩で寄ったマカデミアナッツのお店にはワイキキで探してもなかったコナコーヒーをまぶしたのがあり、味見して、即購入しました。
途中で、ジップロックに入ったフレッシュフルーツを売ってるところにもちょっとだけ立ち寄ってくれ、みなさん、パパイヤを買って食べてました。

It's an activity in shallow water, so you can enjoy it without any worries. On the banana boat, I had to use all my leg and arm strength to avoid being thrown off, and I ended up with a bit of muscle soreness. I guess I'm not used to exercising. The fish were incredibly cute!

バナナボートは振り落とされない様に、脚力、腕力全開で、少し筋肉痛になった。日頃の運動不足だね。
お魚が最高に可愛かったよーーー

The scenery of this mountain is something you can't see in Japan. It's one of a kind! I highly recommend it. This time I was on a Raptor, but I think I prefer the single-rider buggy from last time.
この山の景色は、日本では見ることできません。
唯一無二! お勧めだよ。
今回はラプターだったけど、どちらかと言うと前回の一人乗りのバギーが好みかな。

I used a private speedboat. The first half had bad weather and it rained, but thanks to Captain Kekko's consideration, we were able to spend our time comfortably. The weather improved in the second half, and we enjoyed snorkeling, making it a fantastic experience. I would like to use this service again.
P.S. I think choosing the right season is important. The low ratings are mostly in March.
貸切スピードボートで利用しました。
前半は天気が悪く、雨も降りましたが、キャプテンケッコーの気遣いもあり、快適に過ごせました。
後半は天気も良くなり、シュノーケリングも楽しめましたし、最高の体験をすることができました。
また利用したいと思います。
PS
季節選びは重要だと思います。
低評価は大体3月です。
Thank you for participating in the Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour. The weather in Hawaii can be unpredictable, and it's not uncommon for it to suddenly rain even when it seems sunny during the tour. That's why our staff prays every day, "May the weather be nice!"
The Paradise Ocean offers different scenery depending on the month and the weather, so we would be delighted if you could join us again. Captain and crew are looking forward to seeing you!
Mahalo!
この度はキャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーにご参加いただきありがとうございました。
ハワイの天候は変わりやすく、ツアー中も晴れていたと思ったら突然雨が降り出すこともありますね。なので毎日スタッフ一同”天気になあれ~”とお祈りしております。
月によって、天気によって異なる風景を見せてくれる天国の海ですので、またぜひご参加いただけましたら幸いです。キャプテン&クルーもお待ちしております!

Went with a few friends & we had a good time! The music was great, crew was friendly & helpful, & we enjoyed the floating lounge. I wish inner tubes would have been provided to float in the water, but not a huge deal. Overall, would recommend!

This was my first time to Hawaii and I took my son and out of all of our excursions this was by far the best one hands-down! Each and everyone of the crew members were so friendly and helpful and made you feel as if you were at home on their tour boat and the music was a great touch. We have never snorkeled or used a paddle board before and this adventure allowed the most beautiful perfect safe spot for our first time. I have never been in water that beautiful and if you were nervous at all some of the crew even stays in the water with you in all the areas at all times. Just book this tour you will not regret it! Thank you for providing my son and I priceless memories that we will cherish forever.

The afternoon on the Kaneohe Sandbar was amazing!! There were so many choices of things to do : kayaking, paddle boarding, snorkeling, sunning on the floating deck, or playing volleyball. The reef was filled with beautiful fish and the sand underfoot was smooth and soft. The crew was organized and efficient with each member per for their job effectively. But the icing on the cake was the live entertainment from two very talented musicians who played and sang as we rode out and back to the sandbar. It’s an adventure that I will book again when I return to the island!
