This time, I went on my first trip to Hawaii. Before reaching the sandbar, I was able to beautifully confirm the presence of the honu (sea turtle) and saw many of them. Thanks to Yuki, one of the cruise staff, who accurately pointed out where the honu were... (laughs) Everyone was a wonderful cruise staff member. I actually had given up on snorkeling because I’m not a good swimmer, but one of the staff encouraged me, saying, "Don't worry! I couldn't do it at first either. You can do it!" That motivated me to give it a try. Because of that, I had a fantastic experience. Thank you. I'm sorry I forgot your name. Also, the captain was cool!!! He was a refreshing handsome guy. Next time I go to Hawaii, I want to participate again. Mahalo.
今回、初のハワイ旅行で行きました☆。.:*・゜サンドバーに行くまでにホヌさんも綺麗に確認出来たし、沢山見る事が出来ました(,,•﹏•,,)クルースタッフの、ゆきさんがホヌのいる場所を的確に言ってくれたおかげでもあるんですが。。。(笑)皆さん素敵なクルースタッフでした。私は、実は金づちでシュノーケリングは、諦めてたんですがスタッフさんの1人がおねーさん大丈夫だよー。私も最初出来なかった。出来るよー!って励ましてくれたのでやってみる気になれました。そのおかげで、素晴らしい体験が出来ました。ありがとう。お名前を忘れてごめんなさい。そして、キャプテンもカッコ良かったです!!!さわやかイケメンさんでした(,,•﹏•,,)次回ハワイへ行った時は、参加したいです。マハロ

It was exactly as I imagined seeing the whales. I was able to see them spouting water, diving with their backs showing, and their tails. The boat was anchored at the whale watching point, so the kids got a bit bored along the way. Since it was just a little extra to add breakfast when ordering a juice, I thought it might be nice to book the breakfast plan next time.
想像通りのクジラの見え方でした。潮を吹いているところ(潮のみ)、背中から潜って尾ひれが見えるところ、を見られました。クジラのいるポイントで船が泊まっているので、子供は途中で飽きてしまいました。ジュース単品代金にちょっと追加するだけで朝食付きとなったので、次回は朝食付きプランで申し込んでもいいかなと思いました。

It was a tour that was kind to children and created lasting memories. It was cold, so we couldn't go into the sea, but we were able to see sea turtles, and the kids enjoyed the atmosphere and the snacks we received. I just wish the weather had been better... but there's nothing we can do about that.
子供にも優しく、思い出になるツアーでした。寒くて海にも入れなかったけどウミガメも見れたし、子供達は雰囲気といただいたスナックを楽しんでいました。
ただ本当にお天気さえよかったらな…と仕方のないことですが。

it was a great day, the boat was really nice, we sat up the front with our legs dangling off the boat. we had two snorkel spots, both great, the water was a little murky but still saw a lot of pretty fish and some turtles. good equipment, nice friendly staff. the lunch was good. I have also been snorkelling at Waikiki but this was far superior. good eqipment, great day, highly recommend.
Thank you for the review! We're glad you had a great time and can appreciate the high quality equipment we provide for your snorkel tour. Hopefully we see you again, until then, we hope you enjoy Hawaii and Aloha! Your friends at Ko Olina Ocean Adventures

They prepared us by saying its early in the season you may not see anything, we did - a group of whales which we followed around. We didn't see a full breach but you can't have it all! Its exciting, you will be some distance from the whales but there's still a thrill when you catch sight of them. Good value. I'm glad we just did the tour and not the buffet - not sure I would bother with that.

My friend and I really wanted to see the filming location of Jurassic Park so we signed up for this tour to the least visited island in Hawaii. We were very impressed with the scenery. Everything was also very organized and arranged very professionally (no lateness). What made the tour really stand out though, was our tour guide Juan who told us many stories which gave us a greater understanding into life on the island. We loved the tour a lot. The only drawback was we had to wake up really early but I guess that can't be helped considering we did a day tour from O'ahu.

I was hoping to see the whales swimming, but it seems it was still too early for that season, and all I could see was the tail of a whale swimming in the distance. I understand it's nature, so there's not much I can do about it, but I really wished I could have seen them up close.
くじらの泳ぐ姿を見られるのかな~と思っていましたが、時期的にまだ早かったらしく、遠くで泳いでいたくじらの尻尾だけしか見れませんでした。

We attended as a couple. It took a long time to be guided to our seats and to the buffet before the show started. However, once the second part of the show began, all of that was forgotten. It was my first time seeing a fire dance up close like that. I was amazed by the intensity and wondered how they could do it—were their feet and mouths okay? It was incredibly powerful. I definitely want to participate again next time!
夫婦で参加しました。ショーが始まるまでは、席への案内や、ビュッフェへの案内もたいへん時間がかかりました。しかし、第2部のショーが始まるとそんなことはどこへやら。特に最後のファイヤーダンスをこれだけ身近で見たのは初めてでした。なぜそんなことが出来るのか?足は、口は大丈夫なの?とすごい迫力でした。ぜひ次回も参加したいと思います!

We participated as a couple. It was a very large ship, and we boarded with many foreign guests. For breakfast, soy sauce was provided, which made us feel that consideration was given to Japanese guests. During our last visit to Hawaii, I heard that whales can be seen in January, so I signed up and was able to see live whales. I was moved by the large tail of the mother whale and the small tail of the baby whale. Next time, I plan to bring binoculars to enjoy the experience even more!
夫婦で参加しました。とても大きな船で、多くの外人客とともに乗船しました。朝食には醤油が用意され、日本人に配慮されていることを感じました。前回ハワイ訪問時、1月はクジラが見れるとのことで参加を申しみ、なまクジラを拝見出来ました。親子クジラの大きな尻尾と小さな尻尾には感動する覚えました。次回はオペラグラスを用意して、見学したいと思います!

First, you can enjoy a truly VIP experience sitting on luxurious sofas in the green room while being served champagne and pinchos. After that, you can take a commemorative photo with Gaga. Then, an older brother who resembles Ebizo will guide you backstage, where you can see stage costumes and props, including Michael Jackson's glove, and even touch some hula accessories (like pom-poms).
You get to go on stage and take commemorative photos, spending a really enjoyable time. The seats are right in the center of the front row, allowing you to see Elvis, Gaga, Michael, and in between, the hula and fire dance performances, making the time fly by.
This was not just an impersonation or lip-syncing; it was a real singing and dancing entertainment show. The food was plentiful, including lobster, steak, salmon, and more, all delicious.
Finally, at the exit, you can take a commemorative photo with each person and get signatures on the photos taken in the green room before heading home.
まず、グリーンルームでシャンパンやピンチョスなどを豪華なソファーに座ってサービスされ、ホントにVIPな気分を味わいます。その後ガガと記念撮影。
その後、海老蔵似のお兄さんに舞台裏を案内され、舞台衣装や装置、マイケルジャクソンの手袋など見せてもらったり、フラの小物(ポンポンなど)を触らせてもらったり…
実際に舞台上に上がり記念写真を撮ってもらい、なかなか楽しい時間を過ごしました。
席は、舞台最前列のど真ん中で、エルビス、ガガ様、マイケル・・・その合間のフラやファイアーダンスなど、しっかり見られ、あっという間の時間でした。
物まね・・・という域ではなく、口パクではなく本当に歌って踊るエンタ―テーメントのショーでした。
お料理はボリュームがありロブスター、ステーキ、サーモンなどなど有り、おいしくいただきました。
最後に、出口で一人ひとりと記念撮影をし、グリーンルームで撮った写真にサインをもらって
帰りました。

I was able to see whales. Although I couldn't see the whole whale, as they were mostly spouting water or just showing their tails, I was glad to see them multiple times during the cruise. The food was also delicious. There were hardly any Japanese passengers, and the detailed explanations were only in English, but there were Japanese menus and announcements, so it was manageable.

At first, I was worried about whether I would be able to see anything, but I encountered a family of whales and was able to see them spouting multiple times while staying alongside them. I didn't get too seasick and had a great time. A tip for not missing the whales is to stay close to the naturalist! The view of the buildings in Honolulu from the sea is also very beautiful. ☻
