Oahu
The tour was conducted with two boats, one of which gathered Japanese participants and provided guidance in Japanese. The guide was a Japanese person who was always smiling and very attentive.
When we arrived at the sandbar, we spotted two sea turtles, and several more came by afterward.
Next, we moved to the snorkeling point, where we were able to see about five sea turtles from the boat.
The snorkeling point didn't have strong waves, so if you can swim reasonably well, I recommend trying it without a life jacket!
The deeper areas had more fish and were beautiful! Additionally, I was able to find a sea turtle resting in the coral, and I managed to take an amazing photo! I had to dive about 4 meters, which was quite challenging, but it became my best memory in Hawaii.
I want to go again!
2隻の船でツアーを行い、1隻に日本人を集めて日本語でガイドを行ってくれました。
ガイドをしてくれたのは日本人の方で終始笑顔で丁寧な対応をしてくれました。
サンドバーに着いた時にもウミガメが目視で2匹確認できて、その後もサンドバーに何匹か来ていました。
その後はシュノーケリングポイントに移動するのですが、船から5匹くらいのウミガメを見つけられました。
シュノーケリングポイントは波もそこまで強くないので、泳ぎがある程度できる人はライフジャケット無しでチャレンジしてみてください!
深いところの方が魚も多くて綺麗でした!
また、サンゴの隙間で休んでいるウミガメを見つけられて最高の一枚を撮ることができました!
4mくらい潜らなければならなかったので、結構大変でしたがハワイで1番の思い出になりました。
また行きたいです!
We had a fabulous day on this tour. You do need staying power as it starts early and ends late but it is worth it. The bus tour of the Volcano Park was interesting but it was the helicopter ride that made the day. The professionalism of the company chartered for our ride was outstanding and our pilot had everyone feeling safe, secure and excited for the whole flight. Flying over the volcanos was amazing, even without any red lava on our day.
The one thing that was missing from the day was a little bit of time to explore Hilo itself - it looked so interesting and non touristy that we would have loved half an hour there.
This is not a cheap day, but certainly a once in a
lifetime experience we won’t ever forget and worth every cent.
We couldn't ask for a better way to spend our last day in Oahu.
This tour was so relaxing and fun. Everyone was so friendly including staff and other participants.
The Sand bar was so exciting, and the turtles were cute. and snorkelling amazing.
Everything is well organised.
One advice to people who go on this tour -
Go to the bathroom before boarding the ship,
since the bathrooms are not that convenient.
but they are there if you need them :-)
It was a shame that the weather wasn't clear on the day, but I had a wonderful time with a cheerful guide! If I have the chance to go to Hawaii again, I would like to participate when the weather is clear and the tide is low. Thank you!☆
当日は快晴でなかったのが残念でしたが、愉快なガイドさんとともに楽しいひとときを過ごさせてもらいました!
またハワイに行く機会があったときは、快晴&潮が引いてるときを狙って参加したいです。
ありがとうございました☆
It was amazing.
It was my first experience, and I was continuously moved.
The beautiful sea, the cute sea turtles, and the fun staff.
The snorkeling had clear explanations and safety considerations, which made me feel very secure.
I don't get to go to Hawaii often, but this is one activity I want to experience again next time.
Thank you very much.
最高でした。
初めての体験でしたが、感動の連続でした。
綺麗な海、可愛いウミガメ、楽しいスタッフ
シュノーケルも分かりやすい説明と安全面の配慮がとても安心でした。
なかなかハワイ行けないけど、次回も体験したいアクティビティのひとつです。
ありがとうございました。
Staff were very welcoming from the very start of the cruise and the night just got better. Great food and fantastic entertainment. The staff couldn’t do enough for you. Would totally recommend to everyone. Wonderful way to celebrate my birthday.
I participated in the Dolphin Encounter where you can swim with dolphins. The explanation was in English only, but they spoke slowly with gestures, making it easy to understand. Above all, the dolphins were adorable, and it was a lot of fun. I now have another wonderful memory from Hawaii.
イルカと一緒に泳げる ドルフィン・エンカウンターに参加しました。
説明は英語オンリーでしたが、身振り手振りでゆっくりとお話ししてくれたのでわかりやすかったです。
何よりイルカが可愛くてとても楽しかったです。
ハワイでの良いおもいでがまた一つ増えました。
Aloha Toshi-chan! Thank you for joining us at Dolphin Quest! We're happy to hear you enjoyed your dolphin encounter with us. Our programs are designed to be fun, engaging, and interactive for all guests, regardless of language. Thank you again for the review, hope to see you again. Mahalo!
Aloha トシちやん! Thank you for joining us at Dolphin Quest! We're happy to hear your enjoyed your dolphin encounter with us. Our programs are designed to be fun, engaging and interactive for all guests, regardless of language. Thank you again for the review, hope to see you again. Mahalo!
I was hoping to see whales jumping, but I only caught a glimpse of a tail, which was a bit disappointing. The staff were very kind, and the view from the deck was beautiful, making it a lovely cruise. The guidance was mainly in English, but there were staff members who spoke Japanese at key points, which made it easy to understand. The deck was quite windy, so it's a good idea to have something to wear. While searching for whales, the waves were high, and I took motion sickness medication, but I ended up feeling nauseous in the second half. The staff applied menthol oil, which is effective for seasickness. On the way back, I was told that I could walk to Iolani Palace, so after disembarking, I separated from the group and visited Iolani Palace and other places before taking the bus back.
クジラがジャンプする姿を期待していましたが、しっぽが少し見えたのかな?程度で少し残念でした。
スタッフの方々はとても親切で、甲板からの景色もよく素敵なクルーズでした。
基本英語での案内ですが、要所は日本語のできるスタッフの方が教えてくれわかりやすかったです。
甲板は風が強く羽織ものはあったほうがいいです。
クジラを探しながらのクルーズで波も高かったためか酔い止めを飲んでいましたが後半は酔ってしまいました。スタッフの方が船酔いに効くとメンソールオイルを塗ってくれました。
帰りには歩いてイオラニ宮殿に行けるとのことで、船を降りてから離団しイオラニ宮殿等に行きバスで帰りました。
It was like heaven for my 5-year-old son. Having transportation for pick-up and drop-off makes it easier for parents. Driving after swimming is tiring... Although the plan didn't include meals, it's not a problem since you can buy food inside the park!
5歳の息子にとっては天国のような場所でした。行き帰りの送迎はあった方が親は楽ですね。泳いだ後の運転は疲れます、、、。特にご飯は付いていないプランでしたが、園内で買えるので問題ないです!
Although the visibility of the sea wasn't great due to the rain the day before, the emerald green and cobalt blue waters sparkling in the sunlight were truly beautiful. We encountered many sea turtles, and my husband even had moments where he swam close enough to them while being careful not to touch! Our guide, Yukiko, was also impressive just to watch, and she is a big reason why I want to join this tour again and meet her!
前日雨だったため海の透明度はいまいちとのことでしたが、きらきら太陽の光が輝くエメラルドグリーン、コバルトブルーの海は本当にきれいでした♡
ウミガメにもたくさん会え、主人はシュノーケリングスポットで触れちゃわないように気をつけるくらい近くで一緒に泳げる瞬間も!
ガイドのユキコさんも見ているだけでかっこ気持ちよく、またこのツアーに参加して会いに行きたい!と思う大きな一因です。
The day of participation was unfortunately marked by cloudy skies and intermittent rain, but when the sun peeked through for a moment, it was absolutely beautiful! We played beach volleyball, and even though we couldn't communicate with people from other countries, it felt like we connected through sports, making it a really enjoyable time! The hamburger we had for lunch was also incredibly delicious! We were able to see a lot of fish while snorkeling! I think it would be stunning on a sunny day, so I would love to participate again!
参加日はあいにくの曇りとパラパラ雨の繰り返しでしたが、一瞬晴れ間がさすと最高にきれいでした!
ビーチバレーをやりましたが他国の方たちと言葉は通じませんが、スポーツで気持ちが繋がった感じがしてとっても楽しい時間でした!
お昼に食べたハンバーガーもすごくおいしかったです!
シュノーケリングもお魚がたくさん見れました!
晴れたら最高にきれいだと思うのでまた参加したいです!
I had a great time!
On a weekday in July, I was able to ride smoothly with relatively short lines.
Since the ground is hot, it's definitely better to wear water shoes.
とても楽しかったです!
7月平日、比較的並ばずスムーズに乗れました。
地面が暑いので、絶対に海用のシューズを履いて行ったほうがよきです。
It was a tour aimed at enjoying the night view, but due to the bad weather and having some extra time, we changed it to a sunset cruise. The planned 20-minute cruise was shortened to just over 10 minutes without notice, which left my family a bit dissatisfied, but we were able to see a wonderful sunset, so I’ll take it as a positive experience.
夜景遊覧が目的のツアーでしたが、天候不順なのと時間に余裕があったのでサンセット遊覧に変更してもらいました。予定の20分の遊覧時間が10分ちょっとに勝手に短縮され、家族は少々不満気味でしたが素晴らしいサンセットを見れたのでまぁ良しとします。
Dear Debu,
Thank you very much for visiting Washin Air the other day, and for your comments as well.
While the night flight offers a beautiful view of Waikiki's night scenery, I also recommend our sunset tour, which allows you to fly amidst the sunset on clear days. The approximately 20-minute flight time indicates the estimated duration from the departure of Washin Air's hangar to the return. There will be no shortening of flight time due to our circumstances. Additionally, both the sunset tour and the night tour involve a route that circles Diamond Head, and a flight time of just over 10 minutes is not feasible.
Please note that due to air traffic control instructions, we may have to change the route at times, which could result in shorter or longer flight times. Generally, passengers seem to enjoy their flights, so the time often feels shorter.
I’m glad you were able to witness a wonderful sunset.
Debu様 先日はワシン・エアにお越しいただきまして、誠にありがとうございました。またコメントもいただきましてありがとうございます。
ワイキキのきれいな夜景をご覧いただけるナイトフライトもいいですが、お天気のいい日は夕焼けの中を飛ぶこのサンセットツアーもお勧めです。約20分のフライトとありますのは、ワシン・エアのハンガーを出発して帰ってくるまでのおおよその時間を示しております。弊社の都合でフライト時間を短縮事はございません。また、サンセットツアー並びにナイトツアーはダイヤモンドヘッドを回って帰ってくるツアーとなっており、約10分ちょっとのフライト時間というのは不可能です。また、管制塔の指示によりその時によってルートを変更せざるを得ない場合もございますが、その場合のフライト時間は短くなったり、長くなる場合もございます。だいたい皆様フライトされますと、喜んで頂きますので、時間が短く感じられるようです。
素晴らしいサンセットを見て頂けて何よりでございました。
We enjoy had a lot of fun! The kids played very high with every equipment.
I took my daughter and her family to this Luau and I am so glad we bought the Royal package. It was great. We were right in front and the dancing was great and the Fire dancing was fantastic. I also liked the fact the they involved you in different activities. Food was great also. I liked the fact they will stay and take pictures with you at the end with your own camera. Overall I would definitely recommend this Luau to everyone.
I'm a repeat visitor.
The pool is very enjoyable. I highly recommend it. Since I rented a cabana, I was able to relax with my family without worrying about being seen by others. They provide fruit and water bottles.
The staff comes to take food orders, so you can relax without having to line up at the concession stand.
Regarding the shuttle bus, the confirmation screen said that you don't need to bring the voucher (or show it), so I took that at face value and didn't bring it. However, the staff at the pickup insisted that I show it. I explained that I didn't bring it because I was told it wasn't necessary, and after quite a bit of back and forth, I was finally allowed to board the bus.
My name was on the list the staff had, though. Next time, even if it says you don't need to bring the voucher, I won't trust it and will bring it anyway.
リピーターです。
プールはとても楽しめます。おすすめです。カバナを借りたので、人目を気にせず、家族でゆっくりと過ごせました。フルーツと水のボトルがつきます。
食事のオーダーも係の方が取りに来て下さるので売店に並ばなくてもよいのでのんびりできます。
送迎のバスについてですが、申し込み完了画面に、バウチャーは持参しなくても(見せなくて)よいと書いてあったので、真に受けて持参しませんでした。ところが迎えのバスの係員は見せろの一点張り。見せなくてよいと言われたから持ってこなかった、とかなーり粘ってようやくバスに乗せてもらいました。
係員の持っている名簿に名前あるのですがね。次回はバウチャーは持ってこなくてよい、と記載あっても信じずに持参します。
The staff were very kind, and I had a bright and enjoyable time.
I was able to see dolphins, sea turtles, and fish.
Thank you very much.
I think Japanese people will be satisfied.
スタッフの皆さんがとても親切で明るく楽しい時間を過ごしました。
イルカとウミガメと魚を見ることがでぎました。
ありがとうございました。
日本人の方は満足できると思います。
The staff were very kind. They proactively offered guidance for snorkeling and took photos at the sandbar. The BBQ hamburger for lunch was incredibly delicious. Thank you for a wonderful time.
スタッフのみなさんが親切でした。シュノーケルの指導、サンドバーでの写真撮影など進んで声をかけてくれました。昼食のBBQハンバーガー最高に美味しかったです。楽しい時間をありがとうございました。
The sunset was gorgeous and service very good. Food was fine, entertainment ok.
We were picked up from the hotel and after a short drive, we boarded the cruiser at the port and headed to the sandbar. There was a lovely Japanese woman among the staff, which made me feel completely at ease. All the staff were friendly and attentive. The tide wasn't too low, and the water was up to my waist, so it didn't quite feel like a sandbar, but the stunning scenery more than made up for it! We saw several sea turtles floating around. While enjoying delicious hamburgers for lunch, we moved to a different spot where we could leisurely snorkel and see beautiful fish living around the large coral reef. It was truly an enjoyable tour. I recommended it to acquaintances going to Hawaii!
ホテルからピックアップ、少し車で走った港からクルーザーへ乗り込んでまずはサンドバーへ。スタッフにとても素敵な日本人の女性がいたので何の不安もありませんでした。スタッフはみんな フレンドリーで気遣いも細やか、潮の状態はそこまで引いてなくて 腰あたりまで海水がありサンドバー??って感じではありましたが それを上回る程の景色のすばらしさ!!
ぷかぷか浮いているウミガメも何匹も見られました。美味しいハンバーガーのランチをほおばりながら、場所を移動して大きなサンゴ礁の周りに住む綺麗な魚たちをシュノーケリングでゆっくり見ることもでき本当に楽しいツアーでした。ハワイに行く知人に お勧めしました!!
It was enjoyable to listen to stories about traditional Hawaiian plants in the garden of the Bishop Museum. Although I was a complete beginner, I had the valuable experience of taking hula dance lessons from a qualified instructor while learning the meanings of the songs. At the end of the hula lesson, I asked our guide to take a video of us dancing on my smartphone, and they kindly agreed.
After the hula lesson, we did lei making. The string part of the lei is also woven from grass, and we insert flowers at the end. Since the flowers wilt within a day, I stored them in the refrigerator as soon as I returned to the hotel and wore them out that evening. While I can't bring the flowers back to Japan, I can take the ring part without the flowers (customs is fine with that; it seems they microwave it before use). Once back in Japan, I can dry them and preserve them as dried flowers.
ビショップミュージアムの庭でハワイ伝統の植物の話を聞くのは楽しかったし、全くの初心者でしたが歌の意味を習いながら、専門的な講師の資格を持つ先生からフラダンスのレッスンを受けることができ、貴重な体験ができました。フラレッスンの最後には、ガイドさんに自分たちの踊る様子をスマホで撮ってほしいとお願いしたところ、快く引き受けてくださいました。
フラレッスンの次に、レイメイキングをしました。レイの紐(輪っか)の部分も草で編み、最後に花を挿します。花は1日で萎れてしまうので、ホテルに戻るとすぐに一旦冷蔵庫で保存し、夜のお出かけ時に着けて出かけました。花は日本に持って帰れませんが、花を抜いて輪っかの部分だけなら日本に持ち込めます(税関大丈夫とのこと。使う前に電子レンジにかけてるみたいでした)。日本に持って帰ったら乾燥させ、ドライフラワー状態で保存することができます。
I was looking forward to Sandbar, but at the time close to high tide, the sand wasn't exposed, and it was just a shallow area with splashing. Since it was shallow, there were no fish at all. Well, I did choose to depart a bit later in the morning.
In the afternoon snorkeling, we swam around the coral reef, but the fish were just average to sparse. The water clarity was low, but the coral was magnificent.
The cruise guide, Yumiko, was very enjoyable and considerate, and the hamburger for lunch was delicious, creating a very nice atmosphere.
サンドバー、楽しみにしていましたが、満潮に近い時刻で砂は浮き出ておらず、単なる浅瀬のぱちゃぱちゃでした。浅瀬なので魚も全くおらず。まぁ、午前中ゆっくりめの出発を選んだのは私ですが。
午後のシュノーケリングでは、サンゴ礁の回りを泳ぎますが、魚影はごくふつうから少なめ。水の透明度は低め。サンゴはみごとでしたが。
クルーズのガイド、ゆみこさんはとても楽しく、気を遣ってくれて、ランチのハンバーガーはおいしくて、雰囲気はとてもよかった。
Everything was amazing! First of all, Mr. Gaito's guidance was very thorough, which made me feel secure participating in the tour. The BBQ hamburger was also juicy and incredibly delicious! Above all, I was able to fully enjoy the ocean in Hawaii! At the sandbar, I took photos right in the middle of the sea and admired the beautiful water. During the sea turtle watching, although they were a bit far away, I encountered two sea turtles. While snorkeling, I was able to swim alongside a sea turtle! If I have the chance to go to Hawaii again, I would definitely love to participate once more!
全てが最高でした!
まず、ガイトさんの案内が非常に丁寧で安心してツアーに参加することが出来ました。BBQハンバーガーも肉汁が溢れてとても美味しかったです!
そして何よりハワイの海を満喫出来ました!サンドバーでは海のど真ん中で写真を撮ったり、綺麗な海を眺めたり。ウミガメウォッチングでは少し遠目ではありましたが、ウミガメ2匹と遭遇。シュノーケリングでは何とウミガメと一緒に泳ぐことが出来ました!
またハワイに行く機会があれば是非もう一度参加したいです!
The sandbar was beautiful even without the sand. It seems to depend on the weather, so it really is a matter of luck. The staff were very accommodating, and they took photos for us. The hamburgers grilled on the boat were delicious, and I enjoyed snorkeling for the first time without any worries. We scattered bread for the fish, so we got to see a lot of tropical fish, which made for a happy time.
サンドバーは砂が出ていなくても色が綺麗でした。お天気によるそうなので、これは本当に運です。
スタッフの対応がとても良くて、写真も撮ってもらいました。
船で焼いてくれるハンバーガーも美味しかったし、生まれて初めての
シュノーケリングも何も心配なく楽しめました。餌のパンを撒くので
とてもたくさんの熱帯魚に会えて、幸せな時間でした。
This was an amazing experience! I went with a group of friends and we all loved the environment of the cruise ship. The food was pretty amazing and the live jazz performance was very enjoyable. My favorite was definitely the Polynesian live dance performance. This 30-minute performance was the highlight of the night. The dancers wouldn't just perform, they would interact with the audience by giving high fives, springing peace signs at unexpected times and made our corner of the ship laugh the entire time. If you get seasick easily, I would recommend taking some kind of precaution/medication (the servers were able to provide some medication, too) since a few of my friends did start feeling queasy for a little bit and had to spend some time on the lower deck. However, don't let motion sickness keep you from the cruise! It was still altogether wonderful time.
I participated with my 5-year-old and 8-year-old children, and the sea was beautiful, we saw turtles, and the hamburgers we ate on the boat were fantastic. More than that, the crew's consideration for the children and their cheerful attitude made me want to join again.
5歳と8歳の子供連れで参加しましたが、海も綺麗し亀も見れて船の上で食べるハンバーガーも最高でした。それ以上にクルーの人の子供への配慮や陽気な感じ、また参加したいと思いました。
I had to wait to board the boat, but during that time, I was able to go to the restroom. It was cloudy at departure, but once we got out to sea, the weather turned nice, which was great. When we arrived at the sandbar, the water was up to my waist, but we had fun playing beach volleyball, and afterwards, we enjoyed delicious hamburgers! It was the best! Everything except alcohol was free, and there were many options, so it might be good for kids as well. After that, we moved on to look for turtles, and luckily, we even saw a manta ray by chance. Then we went snorkeling around the coral, and I got a bit exhausted, but I managed to swim. I got so caught up in the fun that I ended up with a sunburn. Make sure to apply sunscreen regularly (laughs). Yuki, who guided us, explained everything clearly, and the other members were nice too! Thank you very much.
船に乗るのに待たされましたがその間にトイレに行けました。出発時は曇っていましたが沖に出たら良い天気になって良かったです。サンドバーに着いたら腰あたりまで海水がありましたが楽しくビーチバレーで遊んで、その後美味しいハンバーガー!最高でした!アルコール以外は無料で種類も多いのでお子様にも良いのではないでしょうか。その後移動して亀探し、ラッキーなことに偶然マンタまで見れました。その後シュノーケリング珊瑚の周りを1周してちょっとヘトヘトになりましたがなんとか泳げました。遊びに夢中になりすぎて全身日焼けしました。日焼け止めはコマ目に塗りましょう(笑)案内してくれたユキさん説明がわかりやすく、他のメンバーも良い方でした!ありがとうございました。
I walked from the hotel where I was staying to the pickup location. Since only the hotel name was written down, I went to that place, and because it was in a back alley, while I was waiting, a large bus arrived. I was given a waterproof wristband and boarded the bus, arriving at Wet 'n' Wild about 30 to 40 minutes later! I went through a bag check at the entrance. The large coin locker costs $16. Only card payments were accepted. It's essential to wear your swimsuit under your clothes. The changing rooms are quite basic. The kids' pool is safely monitored, and there were lifeguards present. There are many slide pools, and since I went on a weekday, even though there were lines, I only had to wait a few minutes, and I had a lot of fun! I want to go again next time!
ピックアップ場所に泊まっているホテルから歩いていきました。ホテルの名前だけ書いていたので、その場所まで行き、裏通りだったので、
待っていたら大きいバスがきて、手首に濡れても大丈夫な紙を巻かれてバスに乗って30~40分後にウエットアンドワイルドに到着!
入り口で持ち物検査受けて入りました。
コインロッカーは大16ドルです。
カードしか無理でした。
水着は服の中に着ていくのが必須です。
更衣室も簡易です。
キッズプールは安全に守られてて、監視員もいてました。
スライダーのプールもたくさんあり、
平日に行ったので並ぶといっても数分で
かなり楽しめました!
また次回も行きたいです!
This excursion was so much fun. The staff went out of their way to make our time great. The hamburgers were great and the alcoholic drinks were available for $5 which is a good price here. We saw Manta Rays which they said wasn’t so common and two giant turtles.
(1) When I arrived around 11 o'clock, the water level was up to my waist due to the tides. It's not sandy like in the pictures, so those who want to stay dry should be careful.
(2) I swam near the coral reef where I could see fish up close while snorkeling. I took off my glasses and injured my knee on the shallow coral reef. Those with poor eyesight should be careful.
⑴ 私が到着した11時頃は潮の関係で腰まで水位がありました。写真のような砂地ではありませんので濡れたくない人はご注意ください。
⑵ シュノーケリングで魚が身近に見える珊瑚礁付近を泳ぎました。メガネを外していたので浅瀬の珊瑚礁で膝を怪我しました。目の悪い方、ご注意ください。
