The whole evening went very smooth, from the Transportation pick up to the actual cruise. Very well organized and the food was really good. The entertainment was very enjoyable as well, and everyone in our dinning area seemed to enjoy the evening. The sunset was very nice even on a cloudy evening. The view back into Waikiki was amazing.

First off, go all out and get the top-of-the-line package because you are treated like a king/queen. As a first-time visit for my girlfriend, she was enthralled. From the moment you walk in, each aspect of the visit is well-planned. The staff is exceptionally friendly, the food well prepared and the show a treat to behold. You won't be disappointed!

I participated in the early morning plan.
The tour included sea turtle watching, a sandbar, and snorkeling, all packed into the morning, and I had a great time. While I think it would be nice to spend a leisurely time at the sandbar in Kaneohe Bay, this plan was perfect for us since we wanted to go shopping in the afternoon!
When we arrived at the sea turtle point, everyone searched for the turtles together. The crew and captain were quick to spot them. Although we couldn't see them up close, we were desperately trying to find the turtles popping their heads up here and there. It was so much fun! On this day, we also encountered three manta rays swimming in circles. According to the guide, it's quite rare to see manta rays. Lucky us♪
Unfortunately, the sandbar wasn't visible, but I was able to experience the thrill of standing in the middle of the ocean! The guide instructed us on various poses and took photos in order. Thank you! The views of both the ocean and the mountains were absolutely stunning and picturesque.
Finally, we went snorkeling! There was a snorkeling spot right next to the sandbar where we could see many yellow fish. The explanations were thorough, so I felt at ease. Even if I got scared, it was close enough to quickly return to the sandbar.
I was very satisfied to be able to see such beautiful scenery just half a day away from Waikiki!☆
早朝プランに参加しました。
ウミガメウォッチ、サンドバー、シュノーケルと午前中だけのツアーですが盛りだくさんで、
とっても楽しむことができました。
ゆっくり、サンドバーのあるカネオヘ湾で過ごすのもいいと思いますが、
午後からはショッピングに行きたかった私達にはピッタリのプランでした!!
ウミガメポイントに着いたらみんなでカメさん探します。
クルーやキャプテンはさすがに探すの早いです。
近くで見ることができなかったのですが、あっちだ!こっちだ!ってチョコっと顔をだすカメさんを
探すのに必死でした。とっても楽しかったです。
この日はクルクル円を書いているマンタ3頭にも出会うことができました。
ガイドさん曰く、マンタにはなかなか会えないようです。ラッキー♪
サンドバーは残念ながら顔を出していなかったのですが、
十分海の真ん中に立っている!っていう感動を味わうことができました。
ガイドさんがいろいろポーズを指示してくれて写真を順番に撮ってくれます。ありがとうございました!
海側も山側もとっても素敵な景色が広がっていて絵になります。
最後はシュノーケル♪サンドバーのすぐ横にシュノーケルスポットがあり
黄色の魚をたくさん見ることができました。
説明もしっかりしてくれるので安心です^^怖くなってもサンドバーまですぐ戻れる距離でした。
半日でワイキキから離れてこんなに美しい景色をみれるなんて大満足です☆

The sandbar was about knee-deep, but the water was very clear and the color of the sea was beautiful, which was really great. I took a lot of photos. At the sea turtle spot, I was able to see many sea turtles. There were also plenty of fish while snorkeling. For lunch, they made us hamburgers, and I was very satisfied! The staff were all very kind, and it was a lot of fun.
There are no changing facilities, so on the way back, you'll be on the bus with your wet swimsuit for about an hour to Waikiki. It’s a good idea to have a T-shirt, hoodie, or dress that you can put on over your swimsuit!
サンドバーはひざ下くらいでしたが、透明度も高くて、海の色がきれいで、とってもよかったです。いっぱい写真撮っちゃいました。海亀スポットでは、たくさんの海亀が見れました。シュノーケリングも魚がたくさんいます。ランチもハンバーガーをつくってくれて、とても満足です!スタッフの方も皆さんとっても親切でたのしかったです。
着替えるところはないので、帰りは、濡れた水着のままバスに揺られてワイキキまで一時間弱くらいなので、そのまま上から着れるTシャツやパーカ、ワンピなどあったほうがいいですよ!

I was moved to see turtles swimming and rays swimming in circles in a group up close. The sandbar was about ankle-deep, and the sand was very beautiful. I could see the coral reef while snorkeling, but I couldn't reach it, and small fish were swimming around. It was a series of emotional experiences for me.
カメが泳ぐのとエイが群れで円を描いて泳ぐのが近くで見れ感動しました。砂州の上は、くるぶしほどの深さで砂はとてもきれいでした。サンゴ礁は、シュノーケルで見えているのに足が届かず小さな魚が泳いでました。初めての経験で感動の連続でした。

The activity lasted 14 hours, but we were never bored and the time seemed to fly by. A great guide/bus driver in Henry, an entertaining samoan, helped greatly.
You get to see many of the famous beaches, mountains and other parts of Oahu, as well as the Dole plant (where we spent so little time that it was almost a waste) and the Polynesian cultural center.
The buffet was OK, as expected, but nothing special. The shows before and after though, were very good. A must see for all visiting Oahu.
Good value for the money.

It’s incredibly soothing. The endless horizon, the white sandy beach, the sound of the waves, the townscape—everything is just perfect. I only had time to visit Kailua Beach, but the guide mentioned that Lanikai has its own unique charm as well. Next time I go, I’d like to make the trip to Lanikai.
Most of the staff are Japanese, but almost all the foreign staff are fluent in Japanese, so you can participate with peace of mind.
とにかく癒されます。どこまでも続く水平線、白い砂浜、波の音、街並み、すべて最高です。カイルアビーチしか時間がなくていけませんでしたが、ラニカイもまた違った良さがあるとガイドが言ってました。次に行くときはラニカイまで足を運んでみたいと思います。
スタッフも日本人スタッフがほとんどですが、外国人スタッフもほぼ全員日本語がペラペラですので、安心して参加できます。

It feels like a first-class restaurant, and the prices are high. However, you receive service that matches the price. The food is good, and I ordered the wine recommended by the waiter, which was delicious. If you're going, I think now is a great opportunity with the strong yen.

I participated in my first trip to Hawaii with my mother and aunt. Since it was my first time riding a boat in Hawaii, I was filled with excitement, but perhaps I had too many expectations, as it turned out to be a bit disappointing... All we saw were the spouts and part of the tail of a whale. However, the crew did their best to chase after the whales, showing their commitment to entertaining the guests. Since we are dealing with wild animals, it really is a matter of luck.

野生の動物相手ですから、こればっかりは運任せですね。

I had a great time. There were thrilling attractions that you don't find much in Japan, and I was able to enjoy myself for half a day. I wasn't expecting much from the wave pool, but the waves were surprisingly high... I almost felt like I was going to drown if I wasn't careful! (laughs) The FlowRider is basically done one person at a time, so you become the center of attention for a lot of guests (laughs). If you're confident, go for it!

I chose the early morning plan, so the time was short and it felt a bit pricey, but the water was up to my shins and the view was 360 degrees of the ocean! It was very beautiful... I think it's a sight you can't see in Japan.
The crew was very cheerful and made the atmosphere on the boat enjoyable as well.
You might not want to have high expectations for turtle watching. You can see them somewhat from the boat, but it's not very clear.
I did some research on the tide information in advance and chose a date close to low tide, which was great. However, it seems that tours are also held close to high tide. There might be times when the water is up to your waist when you go, so please be careful when selecting your date (especially if you are bringing small children).
早朝プランにしたので時間が短く少し割高感はありましたが、海面はスネぐらいまでで360度うみ!とてもきれいでした・・・。日本では見れない景色だと思います。
クルーの方もとても陽気に盛り上げてくれ、船上も楽しかったです。
ウミガメウォッチングはあまり期待しないほうがいいかもしれません。船上からなんとなく見えるなぁ、といった具合です。
潮の情報を事前に調べて、干潮に近い日程を選んだのでとてもよかったですが、満潮に近い日でもツアー開催しているようです。行ってみたら股下ぐらいまで水があった・・・、なんてこともあるようですので、日程選ぶ際はお気をつけ下さい。(小さいお子さんを連れられる場合は特に)
Thank you for joining us. We are sorry that you were unable to see many wild sea turtles on the day of your visit. Our captain tries to take you to the best spots for wild sea turtles based on the sea conditions that day, but please understand that the number of turtles you can see may vary from day to day due to the nature of wildlife. Additionally, as you mentioned, the water depth of the sandbar changes with the tides and seasons, but we appreciate your understanding that tours are conducted daily, excluding Sundays, holidays, and special occasions. We look forward to welcoming you again.
ご参加いただき有難うございます。当日はあまり野生のウミガメをご確認いただけず残念に思っております。船長がその日の海の状況を見て、野生のウミガメがいるベストスポットへご案内させていただくようにしておりますが、自然の生き物のため、日によりご覧いただける回数や頭数は変化しておりますことご了承ください。また、おっしゃるとおり潮の満ち引きや季節によりサンドバーの水深は変化しておりますが、ツアーは日曜・祭日・祝日を覗き毎日催行しておりますこともご理解いただけましたら幸いです。またのお越しお待ちしております。

I participated on September 17th. I was very impressed by the sandbar that suddenly appears in the middle of the ocean! Unfortunately, it was a cloudy day, so it was a bit cold, but I had a great time. The water was about mid-calf at the shallowest point. I think it would have been even more amazing if I could have participated during low tide when the sand is fully exposed. The staff were all cheerful and energetic, making it a fun experience, and the hamburgers for lunch were very delicious. We were also able to see sea turtles here and there, making it a highly satisfying tour that I recommend. Since the waves are calm, I think even beginners in snorkeling can enjoy it.
9/17参加しました。海の真ん中に突然現れるサンドバーには非常に感動しました!当日生憎の曇り空だったので、寒かったのですが楽しかったです。水は一番浅いところでふくらはぎの真ん中位でした。完全に砂が露出する引潮時に参加できたらもっと感動的だったんだろうな、と思います。スタッフはみな明るくてテンションが高く、楽しませてくれますし、ランチのハンバーガーもとても美味しかったです。ウミガメもあちこちに見ることができ、非常に満足できるツアーでお勧めです。波が穏やかな場所なので、シュノーケル初心者の方でも楽しめると思います。

The year before last, I participated with a friend. As soon as we got on the bus, we were overwhelmed by the energetic foreign travelers, and I was filled with excitement wondering what was going to happen. Until we returned, I didn't encounter any Japanese people, which made me feel like I was thrown into a mysterious world. I wanted another friend to experience that thrilling adventure, so I signed up for this tour again. This time was also a big hit, and I had a lot of fun. If I have the chance again, I would like to participate.

This snorkeling cruise was alot of fun. The crew worked really well together, skilled and knowledgeable and used alot of humor throughout the day and made everyone laugh. The bar-b-que was delicious and prepared very well. They crew made it a point to take us where sea turtles hung out and they didn't disappoint. We saw families of sea turtles swimming around. The snorkeling was good and I wished we would have had more time to spend there. The sea was gorgeous and very clear. We got to see the island that Gilligan's Island was used in the opening scene and that was great since we grew up with that show. Overall, a great and enjoyable way to spend a day and the price was comparable to the experience.
