サンドバー天使の海　シュノーケリング＆ウミガメウォッチクルーズ　船上のBBQグリルで焼くハンバーガーランチ付き！＜午前／日本語クルー＞

First experience at the sandbar. サンドバー初体験

Reviewed by: そらから

We participated as a family of four with two children in the upper grades of elementary school. The forecast was cloudy, but it was mostly sunny with calm waves. After gathering by bus from each hotel, we boarded the boat at the port, splitting into a Japanese-speaking guide's boat and an English-speaking (foreign) boat. The explanations were clear, and the guide was lively and fun. At the sandbar, they were knowledgeable about taking photos, providing advice on angles and poses, and we got to take many shots! We saw plenty of sea turtles as well. The snorkeling was a bit murky, possibly due to the tide being high, but we could still see fish. On the way back, we could ride the bus even in wet swimsuits if we had a towel, but it was cold inside the bus, so I wish I had brought dry clothes. The lunch was also quite delicious! The sandbar was beautiful, and we were very satisfied!

小学生高学年2人の子供と家族4人で参加。曇り予報でしたが、殆ど晴れで波も穏やか。各ホテルからバスで集まると、港で、日本語ガイドさんの船と、英語の船（外人）に分かれて乗船。説明もわかりやすく、ノリもよく楽しいガイドさん。サンドバーでは、写真の撮り方熟知しており、方向やポーズのアドバイスあり、何ショットもとってもらえました！海亀もこれでもかってほど見ました。シュノーケルは、潮が満ちていたせいか、やや濁りぎみでもまぁ魚は見えました。帰りは、濡れた水着でもタオルひけばバスに乗れますが、バス内が寒いので、乾いた服をもっていけばよかったかな。昼ごはんもかなり美味しかった！サンドバーきれいだったし、大満足！

This was our first time to the islands as a family and the Circle Tour and Polynesian Cultural Center was a great way to start our trip. The Polynesian Cultural Center was so cool learning about all the different Polynesian cultures and customs. We would definitely recommend this to anyone else visiting the islands.

The final dinner to celebrate my 78-year-old mother's first stay in Honolulu. I made a reservation at my recommended restaurant, Taormina. The special menu from Veltra was a great deal, and in addition to its beautiful presentation and deliciousness, the dishes were served promptly just by showing the voucher. Since drinks were separate, we toasted with a wine recommended by the staff. I carelessly ordered extra bruschetta without considering the portion size, and we couldn't finish the course meal. After taking just one bite of the last meat dish, I had it packed to go. They generously added sauce, so it was delicious to eat later in the room!

ウェット アンド ワイルド ハワイ　絶叫ウォータースライダーなど25種類以上のアトラクションが揃うウォーターパーク　ランチやドリンク付きパッケージプランあり

There's not enough time! 時間が足らない！

Reviewed by: 食べるの大好きママ

It was extremely crowded, likely due to the summer vacation period. We entered at 10:30 in the morning, but we had to exchange our voucher for admission tickets at the reception, which caused a 20 to 30-minute delay at the entrance. We also waited 20 to 40 minutes for attractions and spent an hour in line at the lunch stand. Since the return bus was at 3 PM and we had to stick to that schedule, we were in the changing room by 2:30, so we only managed to go on four attractions. It's unacceptable to wait an hour at the stand when outside food and drinks are not allowed. They should either increase the number of staff or the number of stands. Additionally, I noticed some signs of aging in the facilities, and I was a bit worried about whether maintenance was being done.

夏休み期間のせいもあり、めちゃくちゃ混んでいました。朝は10:30入場だったのですが、バウチャーを受付で入場券に換えないといけないので入口で並び入場に20〜30分のロスがあり、アトラクションも20〜40分並んだのとランチの売店も１時間並びました。迎えのバスが15時で時間厳守なので14時半には更衣室だったので結局アトラクション4つしか乗れませんでした。飲食の持ち込み不可なのに売店１時間待つのはありえないです。だったらもっと人を増やすか売店数を増やすかしてほしい。あと老朽化が目につきました。メンテナンスをしているのかちょっと心配でした。

Reviewed by: ハワイ大好き夫婦

Last year, my husband and I participated in the Manoa Falls tour, but this time we joined with our three grandchildren (ages 5, 7, and 10) and our daughter, making a total of six of us.
The sandbar was a bit deep for the grandchildren, but it was perfect for practicing snorkeling later on.
The barbecue on the boat was also very delicious, and we were extremely satisfied.
We were able to see some turtles (though it was a bit disappointing that there weren't many), and the staff were very kind, allowing us to have a fun day.

昨年は夫婦二人でマノアの滝ツアーに参加しましたが、今回は孫３人（５歳、７歳、１０歳）と娘、我々夫婦６人で参加しました。

It was a fun place as always. いつも通り楽しい場所でした

Reviewed by: naruyuriyou

This is a place we always visit whenever we go to Hawaii. It's the kids' (ages 13 and 10) favorite pool. It has attractions that are hard to find in Japan.

The private cabanas are a must for adults. They create a luxurious atmosphere. Drinks and food can be delivered with just a phone call.

One thing to note is that it gets really hot, so applying plenty of sunscreen is essential. I was preparing to bring snacks and alcohol, but they were confiscated during the bag check at the entrance. They will return them to you when you leave.

Time-wise, there were no issues. Initially, I thought the time might be too short, but we were able to play without getting bored, and it felt just right.

毎回必ずハワイに行くときには行く場所です。
子供たち（13才、10才）が一番お気に入りのプールです。
日本ではなかなかお目に掛れないアトラクション揃いです。

専用カバナも大人には必須ですね。リッチな気分を演出してくれます。
飲み物、食べ物を電話一本で配達してくれます。

注意事項は何せ暑いので、日焼け止めクリームを多く塗ることでしょうか。
おやつ、アルコールを持ち込もうと準備していましたが入口の荷物チェックで回収されました。帰りに返してもらえます。
時間的にも問題なく、当初は時間が短いかな？と考えていましたが飽きずに遊べちょうどいい感じです。

ビショップミュージアム　入場チケット事前予約　現代フラレッスン、レイ作り体験、ガーデンツアーなど体験プログラム付きプランあり

It was very good. とても良かった

Reviewed by: うみつき

Since the trolley doesn't operate at the start time in the morning, we took a taxi from our hotel in Waikiki. We arrived in about 20 minutes. After checking in at the counter, a Japanese staff member named Miho gave us a 30-minute tour of the museum. From the garden plants to the history of Hawaii, it was a short time, but I learned a lot. Both the building and the garden were wonderful.

The hula lesson started at 10 AM. Since my daughter and I were the only students that day, it was a private lesson. We began with some basics, and the teacher's husband played the ipu heke, making it a luxurious lesson for beginners. The song was "Hale Maumau." I had done a little hula in Japan, but it might be a bit difficult for complete beginners. However, it felt like the lesson was tailored to the students. By the end of the one-hour lesson, we were able to dance one song, and we received a certificate at the end of the hula lesson. After that, we learned how to make a lei using ti leaves, which took about 30 minutes to complete. I wore the lei until the evening, and I received compliments while shopping.

After the program ended, we explored the museum, looking at things like the bird capes that Miho had shown us, and we returned by trolley.

Although it's a distance from Waikiki and there are no trolleys at the start time, I think it's a place worth visiting. If I have the chance, I would love to go again.

朝はトロリーがない時間にスタートなので、ワイキキのホテルからタクシーで行きました。
20分くらいで到着。
カウンターで受付後、日本人スタッフのミホさんが30分くらい博物館の案内をしてくれます。
庭の植物から、ハワイの歴史、短い時間でしたが、とても勉強になりました。
建物も庭も素晴らしいものでした。

10時からフラレッスン開始。
この日の生徒は私と娘だけだったので、プライベートレッスン。
始め少しベーシックをやり、先生のご主人がイプヘケを叩いてくれて、初心者向けには贅沢なレッスンでした。
曲はハレマウマウ。日本で少しフラをやっていたのですが、まったくの初心者だと少し難しいかもしれません。
でも生徒に合わせてもらえる感じでした。
一時間のレッスンで一曲踊れるようになり、最後に認定証を頂き、フラレッスンは終了。
そのあとティーリーフを使ってレイの作り方を教えてもらえるのですが、30分ほとで完成、その日は夕方までレイをかけていましたが、買い物先などで褒めてもらえました。

プログラム終了後は、ミホさんに教えて頂いた鳥のマントなど、館内を見て回り、帰りはトロリーで戻りました。

ワイキキからは距離があり、開始時間にトロリーがないので、タクシーなどで行かなければなりませんが、行く価値のある場所だと思います。
次の機会があれば、またぜひ行きたいです。

Secret Oahu Full Day Circle Island Sightseeing - Small Group & Private Tours

Informative tour of the island

Reviewed by: Steven

We wanted to see other parts of the island without having to rent a car ourselves and this was a good option. Our guide who has done surfing knew of the various beaches and pointed out the various ones. We stopped and had time at various stops including the Dole plantation and the Banyan trees from Lost. It seemed we covered things to see in a one day car trip around the island. The Jeep was comfortable though could have been any car—no four wheel driving for instance. We were able to see what there was to see to help decide where we would come back to another time to experience in more detail. Of course it helps immensely that Oahu is a beautiful place.

BBQ lunch is... BBQランチが、、

Reviewed by: にむら

I was looking forward to the all-you-can-eat BBQ lunch and all-you-can-drink soft drinks, but the BBQ was quietly placed inside a dimly lit shed-like building, which brought my mood down. There were few side dishes, and the eating area was swarming with flies. Perhaps because my expectations were high, I was quite disappointed.

The all-you-can-drink soft drinks also had limited options and few places to order from, so in the end, I only had two cups.

Not having a proper changing area was also a downside.

However, the slides had short wait times and were enjoyable.

BBQランチ食べ放題、ソフトドリンク飲み放題を楽しみにしてましたが、BBQは薄暗い小屋っぽい建物の中にひっそりと置かれていて、気分がダウン。おかずも少なく、食べる場所はハエがたかってるし、期待値が高かったせいか、かなりがっかり。

Reviewed by: 武ちゃん家族

I was very satisfied with the whale watching I participated in at Shiretoko and Okinawa, so I joined the one in Hawaii with high expectations. I was surprised that we encountered whales right away without having to go far out to sea. Perhaps it’s because they come close to the land to give birth. Because of this, the whales' movements were rather subdued, and we only saw a little bit of their dorsal fins and tails a few times, which was a bit different from the intense experience I had imagined. However, I definitely felt the excitement.

知床と、沖縄で参加したホエールウォッチングが大満足だったので、ハワイも期待して参加しました。沖まで行かなくても、すぐにくじらに遭遇できたことは驚きでした。出産で陸地近くまで来ているからなのでしょうか。その為なのか、くじらの動きが地味で水面から少しの背びれ、しっぽが何度が見られた程度で、想像していた大迫力とはちょっと違いました。ただわくわく感は十分体験できました。

ウェット アンド ワイルド ハワイ　絶叫ウォータースライダーなど25種類以上のアトラクションが揃うウォーターパーク　ランチやドリンク付きパッケージプランあり

The attraction itself is interesting. アトラクション自体は面白い

Reviewed by: カズパパ

First, regarding the hotel shuttle, because it visits various hotels, the time spent on the bus can be quite long. I was one of the last to be picked up at the Hyatt, so it took about an hour, but those who were picked up first should be prepared for around two hours. This might be a concern for those who need frequent bathroom breaks. It seems that many delays are often caused by participants themselves, such as those who arrive late or go to the wrong meeting point. Once you leave Waikiki, it takes about 30 minutes to arrive using the highway.

We arrived at the site before 10:30. Tour participants lined up at a designated window to receive their tickets and then queued at the gate. The gates opened at 10:30, and while the line wasn't too long, the entry process took some time for each group. Many Japanese visitors had their partially consumed plastic bottles confiscated during the security check. Additionally, there were Japanese guests who lined up at the gate without receiving their tickets, which also caused delays.

After successfully entering, we went to rent a locker. The lockers are rented using a credit card at a terminal, which was a bit confusing, but since it supports Japanese, it wasn't a problem if you stay calm while operating it. The number of lockers is significantly fewer compared to large pools in Japan (like Toshimaen). I wonder what happens if they run out. Perhaps it means that not many people come.

Once we changed, we could finally enjoy ourselves, but by that time it was around 11:00. We were told to return to the bus by 15:00, so if we planned to leave by 14:30, we only had about three and a half hours. Considering lunch time, we effectively had less than three hours, which felt overwhelmingly insufficient. The kids seemed to feel they hadn’t played enough. I had a plan that included shuttle service and a day pass, but those who added a lunch buffet or bodyboarding experience would likely feel even more pressed for time.

The facility itself is more compact than I expected, so moving around doesn't take too long. The crowds are also much lighter compared to Japanese pools, which is a plus. However, there seemed to be only one place to buy lunch, so during peak times, there was quite a wait. It would be good to stagger meal times to save some time.

As for the attractions, overall, they were enjoyable. There are many types of slides that you can't experience in Japan. However, one downside is that some slides require specific floatation devices, and there simply aren't enough of them. Particularly, there were hardly any floatation devices for sliding with children (there were relatively more for single riders). Some of the available ones had holes and were deflated when I picked them up. I really hope this gets improved. With time already being tight, waiting to get a floatation device is frustrating.

The wave pool has large waves and a long duration of waves, which is great. However, there are some rough areas on the floor that could cause scrapes if you're knocked around by the waves. The lazy river is average; the distance for one loop isn't very long. Also, there isn't a typical "just a pool" like you find in Japanese facilities. This is likely why the entire facility is compact, but it doesn't allow for much swimming practice. If you want to swim, you might as well do it in the wave pool when there are no waves.

Overall, the facility is good and enjoyable for adults as well, but the limited time and lack of floatation devices for the slides are drawbacks. Additionally, some attractions are closed at certain times, which is disappointing. I wonder if the closing times are posted somewhere.

The return time of 15:00 does feel early. Perhaps it's to allow for an earlier return to Waikiki so that guests can enjoy shopping as well.

As a time-saving tip, consider wearing your swimsuit in advance and staggering lunch times to reduce waiting at the concession stands.

まずホテルからの送迎ですが、色々なホテルを廻る関係でバスの中にいなければならない時間が長い。自分はハイアットで最後の方だったので1時間位だったが、最初の方にのったひとは2時間くらいは覚悟しないとダメそう。そうなるとトイレが近い人は少し心配。(時間通りに来ない人や集合場所を間違える人など、参加者自身が原因の場合が多そうだが。)ワイキキを出発すればハイウェイ使って30分で着く。
現地には10時半前に到着。ツアーの人はツアー限定の窓口にならんでチケットを貰い、ゲートに並ぶ。10時半開場で列自体はそんなに長くないが一組の入場に時間がかかる。持ち物検査で飲みかけのペットボトルを没収されている日本人が多い。また、チケットを受け取らずにゲートに並んでいる日本人もいて、その対応にも時間がかかっている。
無事入場したあとはロッカーを借りにいく。 端末でクレジットカードを使って借りるタイプで少し戸惑うが日本語対応されているので、冷静に操作すれば問題ない。ロッカーの数は日本の大規模プール(豊島園とか)に比べると圧倒的に少ない。いっぱいの場合はどうするのだろうか。そこまで人はこないということだろうか。
着替えがすめばようやく遊べるが、だいたいその時点で11時頃。15時にはバスに戻ってきて下さいと言うことだったので、14時半にはあがるとすると3時間半しかない。昼御飯の時間も考慮すると実質は3時間もないので圧倒的に時間が足りない。子供は全く遊び足りない様子だった。自分は送迎と１日パスのプランだったが、昼食ブッフェやボディーボード体験を入れた人は更に時間におわれるだろう。
施設内は予想よりもコンパクトな作りなので移動にはそこまで時間はかからない。混雑も日本のプールに比べたら遥かに少ないのでその点は快適。ただ昼購入場所は自分が見た限り一ヵ所しかないので昼時はかなり待つ。時間をずらすなどして少しでも時短したいところ。
肝心のアトラクションについては総じて楽しかった。日本では体験できない種類のスライダーも多く楽しめる。ただ不満としては、専用の浮き具がないと滑れないものがあるが、浮き具の数が絶対的に足りない。特に子供と一緒に滑るための浮き具がほとんどなかった。(一人用は比較的多くあった)。せっかくあった！と思って手に取ると穴が開いていて空気が抜けているものもあった。これは是非改善して貰いたい。ただでさえ時間が足りないのに浮き具を得るまでの待ちは痛い。
波のプールはウェーブが大きくウェーブの出る時間も長いのがうれしい。ただし床がザラザラな場所があり波にあおられて擦りむく恐れあり。流れるプールは普通。一周の距離はそんなに長くない。また、日本のプール施設にあるようないわゆる‘‘ただのプール’’はない。これが施設全体をコンパクトにできている理由でもあるが、泳ぎの練習などはあまりできない。あえてやるなら、波がないときの波のプールくらい。
全体的に言えば施設自体は良く大人でも楽しめるが、時間が少ないのとスライダー用浮き具がすくないのが難点。あとは時間帯により閉鎖しているアトラクションがあるのが不満。閉鎖時間はどこかに書いてあるのだろうか。
帰宅集合時間が15時というのはやはり早い。もしかしたら、ワイキキに早く帰れるからショッピングも楽しめるという配慮なのかもとも思った。
時短テクニックとしては、予め水着を着ておく、昼御飯時間をずらして売店に並ぶ時間を減らす。

We took photos and played beach volleyball with other participants, and before we knew it, it was time for the BBQ hamburger lunch. The hamburgers we made ourselves, topped with pineapple and other ingredients, were exceptional when eaten on the boat.

After that, we went turtle watching from the boat, and then it was time for snorkeling at the snorkeling point. Unfortunately, the visibility wasn't that great, but we encountered turtles underwater, which was incredibly exciting. The Japanese-speaking female guide was friendly, and for some reason, it felt like my family was being slightly marked, but she helped liven up the atmosphere on the boat, and we had a great time.

ずっと気にはなっていたが、今回初めて参加しました。
サンドバーは素敵な場所でサンゴの堆積で出来ている浅瀬という事で、そこに立てば何とも不思議な感覚がありました。写真を撮ったり参加者でビーチバレーをしたりしましたが、あっと言う間にBBQハンバーガーランチとなりました。自分たちでパイナップルなどトッピングして、船の上で食べるハンバーガーは格別なものでした。
その後ウミガメのウォッチングを船上から行い、シュノーケリングポイントでシュノーケリングになりました。
残念ながら視界はそれほど良くありませんでしたが、水中でもウミガメに遭遇し、大興奮でした。
日本語ガイドの女性の方も、気さくな方で、何故か我が家族が少しマークされていた感はありますが、船上も盛り上げていただき、楽しいひと時を過ごせました。
