Oahu
I joined because I wanted to meet sea turtles. The weather wasn't great, but the captain grilled the BBQ patties, which were thick and delicious. It was my first experience playing beach volleyball, and everyone from different countries cooperated, making it much more fun than I expected.
ウミガメに会いたくて参加しましたお天気がイマイチでしたが、BBQのパテは船長さんが焼いてくれ、分厚くて美味しかったですビーチバレー初体験でしたが、多国籍のみんなが協力して思った以上にメチャ楽しかったです
It might have been because of the rain, but I felt like, "Where's the sandbar???" There was no white sandy beach anywhere, the sea was murky, and the scenery was the worst.
However, the crew members were very cheerful and kind, which made for a fun time!
雨だったせいもあるけど、サンドバーどこ????って感じで、白い砂浜なんてどこにもなく、海はにごり、景色は最悪でした。
でもクルーのみなさんはとても陽気で優しくておかげで楽しい時間になりました!
On the day of our visit, the weather was unusually rainy (a flood warning was issued), but on the contrary, there were fewer customers, which made it enjoyable. However, some of the slide attractions were closed, which unfortunately affected my overall rating. I believe it's a facility where children can have a great time, so I hope everyone else enjoys it too.
当日は、稀に見る雨の天候(洪水注意報出ていました)でしたが、逆にお客さんが少なくて楽しめました。ただ、スライダー系のアトラクションは、おやすみしている物もあり、そこは評価を下げざるおえない感じです。お子様も十分楽しめる施設だと思いますので、皆さんにも楽しんで頂きたいです。
I booked a day pass tour with transportation included. It was cloudy that day, so it was very quiet. The venue opened at 10:30, and I was able to enter right away. The locker instructions were easy to understand, and I could rent one without any hassle.
Thanks to the low crowd, I was able to enjoy the attractions without much waiting. However, due to the limited number of staff, some attractions were closed at certain times, so I recommend adjusting your schedule accordingly.
For lunch, I found hamburgers and pizza at the concession stand, which I could enjoy on a nearby bench. The area was more compact than I expected, and since it was not crowded, I was able to experience all the attractions and have plenty of fun until the bus departure at 15:00.
The attractions were more thrilling than I anticipated, making me want to experience them again and again. I definitely want to go back!
1日利用券の送迎付きツアーを申し込みました。
この日は曇りだったので、非常に空いてました。10時半開場で、すぐ入場することができました。ロッカーの案内もすぐわかることができ、簡単に借りられました。
空いているおかげで、アトラクションにもほとんど並ぶことなく乗ることができました。ただし、スタッフの人数も少ないせいか、時間帯によっては閉まっていたりしたので、時間をズラして回ることをおすすめします。
昼ご飯は売店でハンバーガーやピザが売っていたので、近くのベンチで食べることができました。
広さは思ったよりもコンパクトで、空いていたので、ひと通りのアトラクションを体験することができ、15時集合のバスまで十分に楽しむことができました。
アトラクションは思ったよりもスリルがあったので、何回でも体験したくなるものばかりでした。
是非とももう一度行ってみたいと思います。
My family had a great time. Thanks Riley and your team for an outstanding customer service, very well organized and awesome hospitality.
We participated as a family of three because we wanted to see the sandbar. Since two of us can't swim, we were looking for a tour that would be easy for non-swimmers to join, and we found this one.
The Angel Sea was very beautiful! Perhaps due to the timing, the sandbar wasn't visible, but the water's clarity was incredible! We learned how to use the snorkeling gear and had a fun experience in a safe area. We also got to see sea turtles from the boat and throw bread to the fish, which was a unique experience. The hamburger we had on the boat was delicious!
サンドバーが見たくて家族3人で参加しました。3人のうち2人が泳げないので、そういう人も気軽に参加できるツアーを探してたところこちらのツアーを見つけ、今回参加してみました。
天使の海はとても綺麗でした!時間帯のせいか中洲は現れてなかったのですが、海の透明度が半端なかったです!そこでシュノーケリングの使い方を習い、安全な場所で楽しく体験出来ました。また、船から海ガメを見ることができたり、魚にパンを投げたり今までにない体験が出来ました。船の中で食べたハンバーガーは美味しかった!
Loved the volleyball game- perfect fun for my teenage boys! We saw lots of turtles and a Ray! Enjoyed the excursion!!! Thanks to you- a happy crew
This tour was wonderful. I’d been to Pearl Harbor years ago with family. The tour added an xtra touch - our tour guide, Marlon, was an added bonus. He spoke with reverence and compassion and gave us a lot of local information and history. Definitely recommend!
I had always wanted to go after seeing it on TV and in magazines, but it was incredibly small, and I was able to go around it in no time. The slides were all quite similar, and I wished there were more regular pools. Moreover, the wave pool requires an additional fee, and the lockers are expensive, so they really charge you for everything.
The good points were that it was very empty and the hamburgers were fairly tasty. The Shaka was interesting.
テレビや雑誌で見ててずっと行きたいと思っていたのですが、めちゃくちゃ狭くてすぐに一周周れてしまいました。
スライダーも、同じようなものばかりで、普通のプールがもっとあればいいなと思いました。
しかも、波乗りするプールは別料金だしロッカーも高いし、何かとぼったくります。
良かった点は、めちゃくちゃ空いてたことと、ハンバーガーがまあまあ美味しかったことくらい、、、。
シャカは面白かったです。
Yuki, the Japanese staff member, accompanied us and provided various explanations. It was clear that the other staff members were also attentive to safety. The hamburgers we had for lunch were delicious. Since we went out on a sunny day, it seemed that members who used sun visors also got sunburned on their heads. Don't forget hats and sunscreen!
We had a valuable experience encountering sea turtles and swimming around the coral reefs while snorkeling. It's understandable that there are repeat visitors.
日本人スタッフユキさんが同乗、色々説明していただき、また他のスタッフも安全に配慮している様子がうかがえました。お昼のハンバーガーが美味しかったです。晴天日に出かけたので、サンバイザー使用のメンバーは頭も日焼けしたようです。帽子、日焼け止めなど忘れずに!
うみがめとの遭遇、シュノーケルでサンゴ礁の周りを泳いだり、と貴重な体験をしました。リピーターの方がいらっしゃるのも納得です
Great people and entertainment. Definitely recommend this show to anyone

There was no BBQ, and the buffet was quite terrible. I would recommend not ordering it. Everything else was satisfactory, but you should definitely avoid the BBQ plan.
BBQ は無く、かなり酷いバイキングでした。
頼まない方がいいかと。
他は満足ですが絶対にBBQプラン頼まない方がいいです。
The sunset dinner was truly a great experience. Everything was very well organized. We were served champagne to begin with and helped ourselves to fresh cheese, crackers and fruit trays. And those were left out for everyone the entire trip, which is beneficial when you have kids who might not like the whole dinner but still want to eat something. The entire dinner was fresh and tasty, and plentiful. Beverages were refilled as necessary but there weren't a lot of soda options. The sunset was beautiful. You just have to keep watch for the ideal time to take pictures of your experience. The entertainment was great, with music and dancers. Great experience overall!!
Initially, I considered taking the city bus without a pickup service, but as of May 2019, there was no bus stop nearby, so I opted for this tour with a pickup service. Since I went on a weekday, the waiting time was relatively short, and I had a great time! It was a bit disappointing that the jacuzzi was closed and that the lazy river wasn't operating that day, possibly due to a shortage of staff.
最初は送迎なしで市バスで行こうか考えましたが、2019年5月時点、近くにバス停がなかったため、送迎付きのこのツアーを利用しました。
平日に行ったので、待ち時間も比較的少なく、楽しめました!
ジャグジーが閉鎖されていたこと、スタッフ数が足りないためか、流れるプール?は、その日実施していなかったのは少し残念でした。
Meal was so wonderful! Even the veggie hamburger provided us was wonderful!
The dancers were so amazing! And entertaining! Entertained to well past docking!
If I had a suggestion it would be for the website to further explain, or make it easier to order the veggie burger.
I went snorkeling for the first time. To be honest, I'm not a good swimmer and I was scared of not being able to touch the ground, but since I came all the way to Hawaii, I thought I should give it a try at least once. The ocean was so beautiful, and it was a lot of fun swimming while looking at the underwater scenery. I didn't see any dolphins on the first try, and on the second try, I was too tired and just watched from the boat.
For lunch, they give you a hamburger, and you can add tomatoes, lettuce, ketchup, and mustard while sitting down, so you don't have to worry. The hamburgers and snacks were delicious, and the view was stunning—it was the best! Many people got seasick, so I strongly recommend taking motion sickness medication in advance if you're worried about that.
初めてシュノーケリングをしました。
実は泳ぐのが苦手で地に足が着かないのも怖くて嫌だったのですが、せっかくハワイに来たので1回くらい…と思って参加しました。
海がとても綺麗で、海の中を見ながら泳げてとても楽しかったです。
1回目ではイルカが見れず、2回目は体力がなくて船の上から見ました(^^;
お昼のハンバーガーは貰ってからトマトやレタス、ケチャップやマスタードをつけてくれるので座ってて大丈夫です。
ハンバーガーもスナックも美味しいし景色も綺麗で最高でした!
船酔いする方が多かったので、心配な方は事前に酔い止めを飲むのを強くオススメします。
The weather was great! The hamburgers were delicious! It's just a shame that I couldn't see many sea turtles.
天気も良くて最高でした!
ハンバーガーも美味しかったです!
ただウミガメがあまりみれなかったのが残念でした
I went with my 8-year-old daughter. We slid down multiple slides from the beginning and conquered everything except for those that were restricted by height. Even though some were a bit scary for adults, she enjoyed it so much that she kept asking to go again, which was a relief. Carrying the float by myself was a bit tough with the stairs, but the fun outweighed that challenge. We didn't add lunch or all-you-can-drink options, and that was the right choice. We played continuously and ended up taking a break just an hour before the meeting time. The portion sizes were large, so a set of chicken and fries along with one drink was enough for both of us. My child was so excited and said she definitely wants to come back when we visit Hawaii again!
8歳の娘と2人で。初めからスライダーを何本も滑り、身長制限でダメだった物以外は制覇しました。大人でもちょっと怖い感じで、嫌がるかと思ったらもう1回もう1回とかなり楽しんでいて安心。私1人で浮輪を運ぶのは階段もあるので少しキツかったですが楽しさの方が勝りました。ランチや飲み放題は付けなかったですが正解です。遊び続けて結局集合の1時間前に休憩し
量も多いのでチキンとポテトのセットとドリンク1つで2人で十分でした。
またハワイに来たら絶対また来たい!と子供も大興奮でした。
The Sandbar was breathtaking. We took so many beautiful pics to remember our tour. I would definitely go back with people that haven’t been there just to take more pics. You can play volleyball at the Sandbar and practice snorkeling before the deep sea snorkeling afterwards. Staff was the friendliest and made it a memorable experience. Go, you won’t regret going.
Beautiful and a lot of fun!! The staff was knowledgeable and very friendly. I loved seeing the sea turtles and feeding the fish on the snorkeling part of the excursion. Sandbar volleyball was fun! I LOVED this excursion!!
This is my third time here. During the snorkeling and swimming around the coral reefs, I was able to see a sea turtle last time, but unfortunately, I couldn't see one this time. However, others said they swam with one. Last time, I brought an underwater camera and when a sea turtle appeared, I panicked and couldn't capture anything. (LOL) This time, I didn't see one.
The hamburger for lunch was delicious, especially while enjoying the view of the horizon and scenery. Yuki, who took care of us, was as lively as ever, which was great. I hope to see her again, but given my age, I might not be able to come back??
Hawaii really is a wonderful place. (It would be even better if the cost of living were lower.)
今回で、3回目になりました。シュノーケル・サンゴ礁周囲遊泳は、前回はウミガメを見れましたが、今回は残念ながら、見ることはできませんでした。でもほかの人は、一緒に泳いだって言ってました。前回に、水中可能カメラを持って潜り、ウミガメが出てきて、焦って取ったので、何も撮れなかったです。(爆)今回は、見れなかった。
ランチのハンバーグも、周りの水平線や景色を見ながら、食べるのも、おいしいです。日本人相手に担当していただいた、ユキさんも、相変わらず元気で、何よりでした。またお会いできるといいのですが、何せ、年が年なんで、いけないかも??
やっぱりハワイは、よいところですね。(物価が安ければ、なおさら良いですけど)
I was a bit anxious about participating alone since most people were in pairs, but the crew members were all really nice, and I'm glad I joined. I got to see dolphins and swimming honu (turtles), which really boosted my excitement! I also challenged myself to try stand-up paddleboarding (SUP). It was quite difficult, but I managed to stand up and paddle (^ -^)v.
The cheeseburger on the boat was delicious, and I was really happy to see hula up close (since I’m learning hula). I was on cloud nine (laughs). I want to participate again! (*^o^*)
大体が2人での参加の中、1人参加で不安でしたが、クルーの皆さんがホンマに良い人ばかりで、参加して良かったです。イルカも泳いでるホヌ(亀)も見れてテンションup⤴︎そして、体験してみたかったSUPにも挑戦。結構難しかったですが、何とか立てて漕げました(^-^)v
船上でのチーズバーガーも美味しかったですが、間近でフラを見れて(フラを習ってるので)嬉しかったです。テンションmaxでした(笑)。また参加したいなぁ(*^o^*)
We gathered in front of the Ilikai Hotel, but even after the time had passed, the bus didn't arrive... Only to find that the guide was a man silently standing in front of a bus with no tour name displayed. He just stood there without saying anything. We lost about 10 minutes waiting there. I wished he would have at least named the tour or called out our names.
With that vibe, we moved on to pick up other hotels before heading to the location. By the time we arrived, we were about 20 minutes late. That was to be expected.
When you get on the bus, they distribute a floor map. The explanations about the park and the return trip are broadcasted once you're on the bus, and it's in Japanese.
The pool was not crowded, and all the attractions were open. The facility itself was smaller than I expected, and you can easily make one round quickly.
You rent lockers from a machine, but you can only put in a maximum of $7 in cash at a time. So, you can't use a $10 bill. Cards are accepted. I rented a small locker, but it was already packed when I put in two backpacks.
You can ride the slides as many times as you want. Most of the time, you need to carry your own float to the starting point. There are specific floats designated for each slide.
It starts to get a bit crowded in the early afternoon, but even if you have to wait in line, it's usually just about 10 minutes for the floats.
The changing rooms and restrooms were somewhat dirty. I really didn't want to use them if I could avoid it.
The only real disappointment was the pickup service. However, the slides were thrilling, with some intense ones that you can't find in Japan, so I enjoyed that. They also take you back to the hotel afterward.
イリカイホテル前に集合でしたが、時間が過ぎてもバスが来ない…と思いきやなんのツアー名も書かれていないバスの前に黙って立っている男性が引率さんでした。声をかけるでもなくただ黙って立っているだけ。10分くらいはここでロスしています。ツアー名付けるなり名前呼ぶなりして欲しかったです。
その感じでその後のホテルもピックアップしながら現地まで移動。着いた時には20分くらいは遅れていました。当たり前です。
バスに乗る時にフロアマップを配られます。園内の説明や帰りのことはバスに乗ってから放送が流れるので聞くだけです。日本語の放送です。
プールは空いていて全てのアトラクションがオープンしていました。思ったより施設自体が狭くてすぐに1周出来ます。
ロッカーは自動機で借りますが、現金は1回に最大7$までしか入れられません。なので10$札とか入れられないです。カードは使えます。小さいロッカー借りましたがリュック2個入れたらもうぎっしりです。
スライダー系は何回でも乗れました。ほとんどが自分で浮き輪をスタート地点に持って行って使う感じです。一応どのスライダーにどの浮き輪と決まっています。
お昼すぎになると少し混み始めますが、並んだとしても浮き輪待ちなので10分くらいでした。
更衣室、トイレはまあまあ汚いです。出来れば使いたくない感じです。
送迎だけがほんとに残念でした。スライダーは日本にはない激しさのものもあるので楽しめました。
帰りもホテルまで送ってくれます。
We gathered in front of the Ilikai Hotel at 8:55 for our stay at the Grand Waikikian. Since we picked up guests from various hotels, it took over 30 minutes in Waikiki, but after that, we arrived at the location in about 35 minutes. Perhaps because it was a weekday in June, it was not crowded, and we were able to enjoy the large slide without any wait. Since we had young children with us, there were many attractions they couldn't go on due to height restrictions, but they had a great time in the toddler area and the wave pool. Coin lockers cost between $13 and $18, and a hamburger set inside was about $10, so expenses added up, but we had fun. It's not cheap, so I think kids around fifth grade to middle school age would get their money's worth in playtime.
グランドワイキキアン宿泊で、8:55イリカイホテル前で集合していきました。色々なホテルの方をピックアップしていくので、ワイキキで30分以上時間を取られますが、その後は35分くらいで現地に着きました。6月平日のためか、空いており大型スライダーも待ち時間なくできました。当方は子連れのため、身長制限でできないものも多かったですが幼児用のスペースや波の出るプールで存分に楽しんでいました。コインロッカーは13ドル〜18ドル、中のハンバーガーセットは10ドルくらいでなにかと出費はかさみますが楽しめました。安くはないので、小学校五年生〜中学生くらいのほうが元を取れるくらい遊べるかなとおもいます。
A convenient location for transportation. It's about 100 meters north of Halekulani, at the corner of Beach Walk, and might be a bit inconspicuous. The flavors seem to cater to Japanese tastes. Since the chef is Japanese, I think it's at the highest level in Waikiki. The appetizer, soup, main meat dish, and finally the coffee and dessert were all delicious. However, my wife couldn't drink the coffee, and there was no tea available, so we ended up sharing two cups. Later, I had the mentaiko spaghetti, which was also delicious.
交通の便利な場所。ハレクラニHから100mほど北、ビーチウォークの角にありやや目立たないかな。味は日本人向きでしょうか。シェフが日本人とのことでワイキキでは最高レベルと思います。前菜 スープ メインの肉料理、最後はコーヒーとデザートすべて美味しかった。ただ妻がコーヒーがダメであったが紅茶はなく、2人分飲むことになった。
後日明太子スパゲッティをいただいたがこれも美味でした。
I went directly from the airport moving from the Big Island to Oahu.
The park is always uncrowded, and you can ride the slides as much as you want.
The basic food isn't that great, so it's better to go early in the morning and return around noon to eat outside.
ハワイ島からオアフ島への移動した空港から直行しました。
園内は常に空いていてスライダーは乗り放題です。
基本料理はそんなおいしくないので、朝一にいって午後一くらいに帰って外でご飯食べたほうがよいです
I wanted to try the slide, and this pool, which is famous on TV, was the only one where Veltra provided transportation from Ko Olina at a discounted rate, so I used it. The facilities were a bit old and had some issues, but I still enjoyed my time there, even if it was short.
スライダーやりたくてテレビでも有名なこのプールへ、ベルトラさんだけが唯一コオリナから送迎をつけてしかも割安であったので、利用しました。施設は、古いのか少し難ありでしたが、短い時間でも楽しめました。
I was impressed by the wonderfully beautiful sandbar.
During snorkeling, I was able to see many beautiful fish and it was fun to feed them.
The hamburger for lunch was also very delicious, making it a highly satisfying tour.
素晴らしくきれいなサンドバーで感動しました。
シュノーケリングでは、きれいな魚を沢山見ることができ、餌付けもできて楽しかったです。
昼食のハンバーガーも大変おいしく、満足度の高い良いツアーでした。
We participated with a 6-year-old girl, a 10-year-old boy, and an adult. The weather was great, and it went by in no time! Choosing fast food for meals was the right decision. The taste was delicious. Both kids were so into it that it felt like a waste to spend too much time on meals. We definitely want to do it again!
6歳女子、10歳男子と大人で参加。
天候にも恵まれあっという間!飲食はファーストフードで正解でした。味も美味しいです。食事に時間をかけるのは勿体ない位2人ともハマっていてまたリピしたい!!
The weather was wonderful, and I was very moved to see a sandbar that was even more beautiful than I had imagined! The water depth in the shallow areas was only up to my ankles, so it was truly like the sandbars I’ve seen on TV! The staff were lively and enthusiastic, which made me and everyone else laugh throughout the experience, leaving a lasting impression.
I recommend taking a good look with your own eyes, as it’s so beautiful that it’s hard to capture in photos!
Since it’s a plan for a large group (about 20 to 30 people), it’s understandable that those who are not confident in snorkeling or are first-timers may not receive personal guidance at a leisurely pace. We had some experience, so we were able to snorkel without any issues, but since everyone swims freely, there was some variation in whether or not people got to see sea turtles. (On this day, it seemed that about half of the participants were able to see them.) Even if you don’t see sea turtles, you can still enjoy seeing other beautiful fish, so I think it’s definitely enjoyable.
For those who really want to snorkel but lack confidence, I recommend looking into different plans.
お天気にも恵まれ、想像以上に綺麗なサンドバーが見られたのでとても感動しました!
浅い所での水深はくるぶし上くらいまでしかなかったので、まさにテレビで見たようなサンドバーでした!
スタッフの方も元気に盛り上げて下さるので、彼を含め私も終始笑っていた事が印象的に残っています。
写真ではなかなかうまく写りきらない程綺麗だと思うのでしっかり目に焼き付ける事をお勧めします!
人数が多いプランなので仕方ないのですが(2〜30人くらい?)シュノーケリングに自信が無い方や初めての方はなかなかゆっくりと個人的指導は受けられないかと思います。
私たちは経験があったので難なくシュノーケリングはできましたが、全員がそれぞれ自由にシュノーケリングで泳ぐのでウミガメが見られるかどうかにばらつきはありました。
(この日は半数くらいの方は見られたようです。)
ウミガメが見られなくても他の魚等は綺麗に見られるので十分楽しめるとは思います(^^)
シュノーケリングは絶対にしたいけど自信がない方は、違うプラン等を見てみる事をお勧めします。
