Amazing!!! We had the opportunity to learn about the history and people of Polynesia. Very entertaining and interactive. We had the Super Ambassador package which basically means VIP. We had front row seating to all shows, our own personal guided tour and dvd. Our guide, cousin Spencer went beyond the call of duty to make our experience the most enjoyable time we have ever had. Alo'ha!!!!

The dolphin tour had several options, and I was unsure which to choose, but I picked this one and it was the best decision. The boat was a large catamaran, spacious, clean, fast, and felt safe. We first went to the dolphin point and after seeing the dolphins, we headed to see whales. We spotted a spout in the distance and approached it quickly because the boat was fast, allowing us to get close in no time. After chasing and watching the whales for a while, we returned to the dolphin point for snorkeling. The equipment was clean, and the staff took great care of my 4-year-old grandson. There was a staff member named Tamiko who spoke Japanese, which was reassuring. She taught the Japanese guests with great care. At the snorkeling point, by chance, while my grandson and I were playing near the boat, a large sea turtle surfaced right beneath us, coming up very close. I was so surprised that I took off my snorkel and shouted, "It's a turtle!" This stroke of luck was shared by the two of us and two foreign guests nearby. The others were away from the boat and missed this fortunate encounter. After that, we had lunch, which was luxurious and surprisingly impressive for a meal on a boat. The drinks included unlimited beer and Hawaiian cocktails, and we could eat wherever we liked on the boat. During that time, the boat cruised even further than the whale sighting point, making for a very satisfying watching cruise. My wife was also very satisfied, and I think we will definitely become repeat customers. I highly recommend it. There are other tours nearby, but they can't compare in terms of luxury.
イルカツアーはアランさんのなかでもいくつかあり、迷いましたが、このツアーにして最高でした。船も大きな双胴船で、広くてきれいで速くて安心でした。最初にイルカポイントへ行きイルカを見た後今度はクジラをミニみにいきました。遠くに潮を吹いているのを見つけて近づくのですが船が速いのですぐに近くまで行けました。そこでしばらくクジラを追いかけてウォッチングをした後またイルカポイントへ戻りそこでシュノーケリングです。道具もきれいで4歳の孫にはスタッフの方がいろいろと世話をしてくださいました。日本語の出来るタミ子さんという方がおられたので安心でした。日本人には彼女が丁寧に教えてくれました。シュノーケルポイントではたまたまですが私と4歳の孫が船の近くで遊んでいたら真下から大きなウミガメが浮上したきて、すぐそばに浮き上がり、あまりの驚きにシュノーケルを外して『カメだー』と叫んでしまいました。この幸運は私たち二人と近くにいた外人さん二人の4にんでした。たの人たちは船から離れていてこの幸運に遭遇できませんでした。その後はランチでしたがこれが豪華で船の上の食事とはおもえないくらいの感動ランチでした。飲み物もビールはもちろん、ハワイアンカクテルも飲み放題で船の上で好き勝手な場所で食事でした。その間また船はクジラを見たポイントよりもまだ先までクルーズしてくれて大満足のウォッチングクルーズでした。
家内も大満足で多分リピーターになると思います。
絶対オススメ。近くに他のツアーも来ていますが豪華さでは比較になりませんよ。

I looked at several sites trying to decide which tour to use for our Pear Harbor Tour and chose using Hawaiian Activities because they provided the best description of the tour companies. It was easy to book on-line and when I called to ask what time the bus would pick us up at the hotel, the customer service agent immediately called the company to find out. That to me is service so I booked with them. Booking before you arrive on the island makes life so much easier because everywhere you look, there are tours being promoted and it can be confusing.
The company I chose did a marvelous job. Our coach was clean and air conditioned and the driver/tour guide was marvelous. He told us so much about the history of Hawaii that his narration brought so much more value to the tour. The same applied to the tour guide we had for the USS Missouri. He brought the signing of the armistice with General McArthur, the Allies and the Japanese to life in ways no history book can.

Selected Ambassador package and got a guided tour as part of it. Guide was fine, but we were not able to look around the "villages." Instead, we only went from one presentation to the next, missing portions of some of them, and then it was time for the luau. Interesting, but not outstanding. The facility should open earlier in the day. For the price, you should at least have time to see most of it. Luau food was not particularly good, lunch menu was better, and the "show" during the luau left a lot to be desired. "Ha", the show afterwards was very good, however.

Enjoyed the evening with our family of 3 teenagers. We played the games and felt encouraged by the staff, did the hula, watched most of the shows. However, we missed the main ceremony because we were doing something else at the time. They had the conch shell sound for each event but did not verbally announce it therefore we missed it which was disappointing. The food and dinner show were wonderful. We drove ourselves and the place was easy to find.

The reviews were very good, so I might have had too high expectations, but it was just okay. The bus guide's stories were certainly interesting, but they weren't "hilarious" or anything, just average. However, the attention to participants was wonderful; they celebrated birthdays and anniversaries, and even during free time, they kept track of everyone's activities and mentioned them later. I was also surprised by how smoothly the staff worked together. I didn't think the food was delicious, but since I didn't have high expectations, it was within an acceptable range. I was hoping for something a bit more spiritual from the show, but it felt more commercial. This is just my personal opinion.
We lived in the United States until the year before last and have participated in many such shows and dinners, so I might have been a bit harsh in my evaluation compared to others... I apologize.
However, I think for first-timers or those who don't often have the opportunity to experience different cultures, it would be a fresh and enjoyable event.
レビューの評価がとても良く期待し過ぎたせいかも知れませんが、まあまあという感じでした。バスガイドさんの話は勿論面白かったものの「大爆笑」というほどではなく普通でした。ただ、参加者への心配りは素晴らしく、誕生日や記念日を祝ったり、自由行動の際も全員の行動を把握していて後で言及したり。スタッフ同士の連携の円滑さにも驚きました。料理は美味しいとは思いませんでしたが、期待もしていなかったので許容範囲。ショーはもう少しスピリチュアルなものを期待していたけれど、コマーシャルな印象を受けました。あくまで個人的な感想ですが。
私共は一昨年までアメリカに住んでいて、このようなショーやディナーに多く参加しているので、他とも比較して、評価が少し辛口になってしまったかも・・・すみません。
多分、初めての人や日ごろ異文化にあまり触れる機会のない人にとっては、新鮮で楽しいイベントだと思います。

We boarded a yacht from the calm Waikiki Beach.
Onboard with us were a couple who had been swimming near the yacht before departure, and a relaxed foreign couple enjoying their retirement.
The yacht is equipped with seats, but we chose to sit on the net that can hold people, peering into the sea as we slowly set off!
I thought we would be gently swaying while looking into the water and gazing at Waikiki Beach, but to my surprise!
We sped off towards the vast ocean, feeling the wind and splashes of water all over, which instantly boosted our excitement!
I couldn't help but hope, "Maybe we'll see dolphins or whales!" as we ventured further out.
Unfortunately, we didn't see any dolphins or whales, but when we returned near Waikiki Beach, we encountered a sea turtle!
Isn't the sea turtle a symbol of happiness?? Watching it poke its head out and swim around was incredibly soothing!
For those who, like me, have never been on a yacht, I think just being on it is plenty of fun. You should definitely give it a try!

Let me just say, I took a chance. I heard it was expensive, cheesy, and basically over-rated. BUT, I also heard if you do decide to do a luau, do Paradise Cove, and go all out with the Deluxe package... They were right!! (lol, PC should pay me for this review...)
As a young couple in our 20's.... WE HAD A BLAST. They do a great job making you feel special with the deluxe package: shorter lines, extra drink tickets, souvenir gifts, and we had the VERY FRONT seats (regular tickets put you WAY in the back)!!! Totally worth the extra money to be right in front and have table service (no waiting in long lines for the buffet)... The food was better than expected, drinks were...pretty. The dancing/show was what was expected-
but what we both agreed on what made PC special was the cove!!!! It was stunning, and the view is everything i imagined Oahu to be. We went on our 2nd night, and it was very romantic!!! When we went on the little canoe ride they offer, WE SAW A GREEN SEA TURTLE!!!

This time, I wanted to feel the blue sea of Hawaii even closer and fully enjoy it, so my partner and I participated in the Outrigger Catamaran plan. At first, we both had some anxiety, but once we were out at sea, that anxiety disappeared in an instant. In a word, we were very satisfied. The departure from Waikiki Beach was wonderful, with both the sea and the scenery being spectacular. We were blessed with good weather, enjoying the warm sunshine and pleasant breeze together, and the time flew by.
What left the biggest impression on me was being able to connect with Hawaii's nature. Looking at the blue sea, we could observe schools of fish and turtles up close, and since we could bring cameras and videos, we could perfectly capture those memories. Also, the view of Honolulu from the sea felt different and special.
The staff were very accommodating and kind to us as Japanese visitors, for which we are grateful.
I recommend this plan to anyone who wants to feel the blue sea of Hawaii more closely and connect with nature. We would also like to participate in the Outrigger Catamaran plan again.
今回、ハワイの青い海をもっともっと身近に感じたい。そして満喫したいという思いから私と彼女の二人でアウトリガー・ カタマラン号のプランに参加しました。初めはお互い不安もありましたがその不安も海に出れば一瞬にして消え去りました。一言でいうと大満足でした。ワイキキビ−チから出発して海、景色ともに素晴らしかったからです。天候にも恵まれ暖かい日差しと気持ちのいい風を二人で浴びながらあっという間の時間でした。
一番印象に残っているのはハワイの自然に触れられたことです。青い海に目をやると魚の群れや亀を身近で観察できカメラやビデオも持ち込めるのでバッチリ思い出として記録できます。また、海から見るホノルルの風景も一味違うものだと思いました。
スタッフの方の対応も良く日本人の私達にもとても親切に対応していただき感謝しています。

The meeting point, which is said to be hard to find, was at the Sheraton, so it was easy to spot the bright blue beach umbrellas (the meeting point) after walking along the beach for just 2 or 3 minutes. The staff there (two people) were also fluent in Japanese and very enjoyable to be around, which was a great help. Although Japanese is not spoken on the boat, I still had a wonderful time. Fortunately, I was able to see both turtles and whales. There were only two Japanese participants, but it really felt like being abroad. I think this tour is suitable for everyone from children to the elderly, and it offers a close-up experience of the sea. Since participation is barefoot, it's best to wear appropriate footwear.
わかりにくいと言われている集合場所も宿泊がシャラトンだったので浜辺を歩いて2・3分で真っ青なビーチパラソル(集合場所)もすぐわかりました。そこのスタッフ(二人)も日本語が上手で、それにとても楽しい方で助かりました。船上では日本語は通じませんが、でも十分楽しめました。ラッキーなことに、カメもクジラも見ることができました。日本人の参加は二人だけでしたが、海外だという実感がわきました。このツアーは子供さんからお年寄りまで参加でき、身近に海を体感できるツアーだと思います。はだしでの参加ですので履き物はそれなりがいいですよ。

On the day of the reservation, there was a tsunami warning in Honolulu due to an earthquake in Chile. Transportation in the city was halted in preparation for the tsunami. I called the staff and was able to reschedule for the next day. I was relieved that there were staff members who spoke Japanese.
As for the whales, I was glad to see several of them. The kids were very excited, and I was satisfied with that. However, the lunch package was a bit chaotic; with the announcement of "There are whales!" everyone was too distracted to enjoy the meal, so it might be better to go without lunch.
予約当日、チリの地震の影響でホノルルは津波警報。市内は津波に備え交通もストップ。スタッフに電話して翌日に振り替えてもらいました。日本語OKなスタッフで安心しました。
肝心のクジラですが、数頭見ることができてよかったです。子供も大興奮、これには満足です。ただしランチ付きのコースは「クジラがいた!」とのアナウンスで食事そっちのけで右へ左へで落ち着かないのでランチなしがいいかも…。

I participated in the 3 PM departure on the day I arrived in Hawaii. Thanks to this, I was able to avoid jet lag. The staff seemed to be quite skilled at providing explanations in Japanese during check-in, making it easy to understand. Their bright and cheerful demeanor really made me feel like I was in Hawaii!
When boarding the boat, everyone must leave their footwear in a designated box. Also, be careful as you might get splashed up to your knees if the waves hit while boarding. The day we participated had excellent weather, but it was quite windy on the boat and felt rather cool. As many have mentioned, I recommend bringing a jacket.
I was a bit anxious since I was with my parents, who are nearly 70, but we were able to see a pod of dolphins and a sea turtle, which made them both very happy. My mother, who usually gets seasick, seemed fine with the rocking of this yacht. The drinks sold on board are reasonably priced as well.
This was my sixth time in Hawaii, and I found myself regretting not participating in this activity before. When I go to Hawaii next time, I will definitely rely on your services again.

There were only two of us Japanese people, but everyone was very friendly, and it was so much fun! The staff's service was great, and I was thrilled to view Waikiki Beach from the sea. The captain's explanation allowed us to see as far as Kauai Island, and on the way back, we threw food to attract baby sharks that swam close to the yacht, and we even got to see a baby whale up close.

On our first trip to Hawaii, we found a plan that allowed us to enjoy the beautiful ocean, snorkeling, and sea turtles. On the day we participated, there was a Japanese guide who was very friendly. The crew was also cheerful, making for an exciting sailing experience.
The sandbar was incredibly beautiful, even more so than in photos, and playing volleyball there was the best. Although we didn't speak any English, it was true that "expressions speak louder than words."
There seem to be mixed opinions about the lunch, but the freshly grilled patties in burgers on the boat were fantastic for us. Unfortunately, we didn't encounter any sea turtles while snorkeling, but it was still very appealing, even though it was a bit cold.
Overall, we were extremely satisfied with this activity in terms of price, staff, and content. We were even generous with the tips (laughs). Thank you very much!

It's an affordable tour that lasts an hour and a half. My husband and I rode on a catamaran for the first time, and it was stable with no rocking, making it suitable for older couples and families with small children. The view of Waikiki Beach from offshore was a different sight, and we took a lot of photos. Looking down at the water, we saw turtles and schools of fish swimming, and when the staff threw bread, the fish jumped out of the water with white splashes. Then, when the staff pointed and shouted "Whale!", we looked into the distance and, lo and behold, there was a whale showing its tail. When we stopped offshore, we could jump into the sea from the catamaran, which felt great. The staff didn't speak Japanese, but they were charming and kind, taking photos with us. There were also soft drinks ($1) and beer or champagne ($3) available, and we toasted on the boat. The hour and a half flew by, but it was a very enjoyable tour.
1時間半で格安でお手頃のツアーです。
私たち夫婦は、初めてカタマランというものに乗りましたが、揺れもなく安定感のあるヨットのためか、高齢のカップルや小さな子供連れの家族も一緒でした。

On the day we arrived in Hawaii, my friend and I participated in this activity! It was a bit chilly, but the weather was nice, and the ocean was sparkling and very beautiful. I thought there would be many Japanese participants, but it turned out to be just the two of us, and all the crew members only spoke English, so we couldn't understand what they were saying and felt a bit out of place. However, once we set off, it was incredibly refreshing, just as the name suggests, and the view from the ocean was stunning. The lower part of the yacht was a net, so we could see the ocean directly below us, which was fun. Plus, we were lucky enough to encounter a pod of dolphins! It was my first time seeing wild dolphins, and it was so moving! We even got to see them jumping. Along the way, we were served a Hawaiian drink called Mai Tai, so we were just full of good luck! I think it's a great deal to have such an experience for this price, so I highly recommend it! If I have the chance to go to Hawaii again, I would definitely like to participate again!

On the day, the wind was strong and there were splashes from the waves, making it difficult to see the whales' spouts clearly. However, there were many activities on the boat, such as lei-making and hula lessons, which kept the children entertained, and we had a great time. My child continued to practice the hula we learned even after returning to Japan.
当日は風が強く、波しぶきが立っていたので鯨の潮吹きがわかりにくく、あまり良く見えなかったのですが、船内でのレイの作成やフラレッスンなど、子供が飽きない催しも多く、大変楽しめました。
子供は日本に帰ってからも教えていただいたフラを家でやっていました。

One of the strengths of the "Premier Whale Watch Cruise" is that it offers enjoyment beyond just whale watching. It might be especially good for customers with children.
Thank you for your comment.

Thank you for your comment. It seems that the timing of the whales appearing coincided with the meal time. Still, I'm glad to hear that you were able to see the whales.
We look forward to welcoming you aboard again.
