Oahu
Fortunately, the weather was great, making it a perfect day. We got to see not only sea turtles but also a rare manta ray, and my daughter, who was experiencing the ocean for the first time, was thrilled.
The staff was fun and kind, so I had no worries at all.
If I had to mention one thing, it would be that there were a lot of participants, and the seating on the boat was very cramped... During lunchtime, even though we received our hamburgers, there was nowhere to sit and eat, which was a bit of a hassle...
If it weren't for the cramped conditions on the boat, I think it would have been the best tour ever!☆
ラッキーなことにとてもお天気が良く、最高の1日になりました。
ウミガメはもちろん、レアなマンタにも会え、海が初めての娘も大喜び。
スタッフさんも楽しく&優しくて、不安は一切ありませんでした。
唯一、言うとしたら、
参加人数が大変多く、船上で座る場所がとても狭かった...
昼食時間はハンバーガーを受け取っても、座って食べる場所がなく、
困りました…
船上での狭さがなければ、最高のツアーだと思います☆
I went at the end of August with my wife and our three children (ages 7, 10, and 13).
The pool has a wave pool, a shallow play pool for toddlers, and about five different slides. You can also use boogie boards. My kids seemed to really enjoy the wave pool and the slides.
With this plan, one child can enter for free, but even so, 30,000 yen is generally not reasonable. Considering the value, it's expensive. The facilities themselves are not very new, and the scale is smaller than expected.
The slides are quite fun even for an adult like me. I particularly recommend the Tornado. However, to use the slides, you have to walk barefoot up concrete stairs, which can be a bit hot on your feet (you walk up to a slightly elevated area by yourself).
The shuttle bus arrived a little after 10:30, and while wandering around the somewhat confusing park, we put our belongings in a paid locker and left our bags and towels on a summer bed (a chair-like seat that reclines) next to the wave pool. We then headed to the various pools and slides, starting around 11:00.
Around 1:00 PM, we got hungry, so we lined up at the fast food counter (about 10 groups in line) and bought a $9.99 lunch set (hamburger, chicken + fries, drinks separate; there are other menu items available, including beer). We quickly ate and then headed back to the slides, and before we knew it, it was already closing time at 3:00 PM. Well, there weren't many attractions, and we didn't have to wait much, so it felt just right.
The staff in the park are very kind and cheerful. They are serious about their work.
For those staying at the Marriott Ko Olina Beach Club (which we were), be careful as the pickup location for the shuttle bus is unclear. Even asking the hotel staff doesn't provide much clarity.
The actual pickup location for the bus is not at the front entrance of the Marriott but down the slope outside the front entrance, at the entrance of the Marriott property on the street where cars come in. A WET & WILD minibus (more like a large HiAce) comes there. We waited at the front entrance thinking that was the pickup point, but when it didn't arrive, we checked and found it was at the lower road. We almost missed it and had to wait for the next bus.
There is a prior email with information about the meeting place, but the map (Google Maps) shows the meeting place near the front entrance, which is quite misleading. If you are fluent in English, it’s a good idea to directly ask the local operator or have someone at the Marriott Japanese desk call the operator for clarification on the meeting point or any uncertainties.
Overall, it was a fun experience, and I enjoyed spending time with my kids.
Take care.
8月末に行ってきました。私と妻と子供が3人です(子供は7歳、10歳、13歳)
プールは波の出るプールや、幼児用の浅い遊べるプールや、5種類ぐらいかなスライダーがあります。ブギーボード?もできますよ。うちの子は波のプールやスライダーが気に入ったようです。
このプランを使うと一人分子供がタダですがそれでも3万円は普通ないですね。価値から考えると高い。施設自体もあまり新しくありませんし、規模も期待より小さいです。
スライダー自体は大人の私も結構楽しいです。特にトルネードがおすすめですね。ただ、園内はスライダーをやるためにはコンクリートの階段をはだしで上までかねばならず足が少々熱い。(小高いところまで自力で歩きます)
送迎バスの到着が10時半過ぎ、よくわからない園内をぶらりとしながら、有料のロッカーに荷物を入れ、波の出るプールわきのサマーベッド(椅子みたいな背もたれが倒れる席)に手荷物、タオルなどを置きそれぞれのプール、スライダーに出かけると11時くらいがスタート。
13時くらいにおなかがすいたというのでファーストフードの列(10組ぐらい並んでいる)に並び9.99ドルのランチセット(ハンバーガー、チキン+フライドポテト 系 ドリンク別、単品ではほかにもメニューあり ビールもあります)を買い、ササっと食べて再びスライダーへとやっていたらあっという間に閉園時間の15時という感じでした。まあ言うほどアトラクションの数も多くなく、並ぶこともあまりなかったのでちょうどよい感じでした。
園内の係員はとても親切で明るいです。真面目です。
マリオットコオリナビーチクラブにお泊りの方は(うちはそうでしたが)送迎バスの迎えに来る場所があいまいでよくわからないのでご注意を。
ホテルの人に聞いてもよくわからないという状態です。
実際にバスの迎えに来る場所はマリオットの正面玄関のロータリーのところではなく正面玄関を出て坂を下り、車が入ってくる通りのマリオットの敷地の入口のところです。そこにWET&WILDのマイクロバス(というより特大ハイエースみたいなの)が来ます。うちは正面玄関かと思って待っていましたが来ないので確認してもらったら下の道路のところでした。乗り遅れて2便を出してもらいました。
事前メールで集合場所の知らせがありますがその地図(グーグルマップ)の集合場所は正面玄関付近になっておりかなりいい加減なんです。英語が堪能な方は直接現地催行会社に尋ねるか、マリオットの日本語デスクの人に集合場所や不明点を催行会社に電話してもらうといいですよ。
まあ全体としては楽しく子供とも過ごせたので良かったとしておきます。
お気をつけて。
I participated with my mother and younger brother! It was my brother's first time in Hawaii and my mother's first time at the sandbar, but thanks to the fun staff, we had a wonderful time. My elderly mother, who can't swim, was also able to join with peace of mind!
母と弟と三人で参加しました!
弟は初ハワイ 母はサンドバー初でしたが
楽しいスタッフの方々のお陰で素敵な時間となりました。
高齢で泳げない母も安心して参加できました!
This is my third time visiting with just a ticket reservation. On the way, there was traffic, and I arrived a bit late, but there was no staff around. I picked up my ticket at the counter.
There is a bag check when entering, but despite the crowd, there was only one person checking bags. Food and drinks are not allowed inside the park (unopened bottled water is okay for the number of people), but many Japanese visitors were trying to bring in food, resulting in a long line.
The attractions are always fun, no matter when you go! You need to carry a float to get on the rides, which is also good exercise. Be careful, as each attraction has specific float requirements!
チケットのみの申し込みで、利用3回目です。
行く途中で、渋滞があり、少し遅れてしまったら、スタッフらしき人は誰もおらず、
窓口でチケットを受けとりました。
入る時に荷物検査があるのですが、混雑にも関わらず、見る人は1人。
園内は、飲食持ち込み禁止(未開封のペットボトル水、人数分はオッケー)ですが、
食べ物を持ち込みしようとする日本人が多くて長蛇の列になってました。
アトラクションは、いつ行っても楽しい!
乗るには、浮き輪を持って登らないと行けませんが、運動にもなって良いです。
アトラクションごとに浮き輪が決まっているので注意です!
It was cloudy and the water level was high, so I couldn't see the scenery like in the guidebook, but I was able to see sea turtles and manta rays, which was enjoyable. The bus ride to and from the location had very strong air conditioning, so it would be better to change into clothes instead of wearing a swimsuit on the way back.
曇りなうえに水位も高く、ガイドブックで見るような景色は見られませんでしたが、ウミガメやマンタを見ることができ、楽しめました。行き帰りのバスはかなり冷房がきついので、帰りは水着ではなく服に着替えたほうがよさそうです。
I was worried about the lines, so I signed up for this tour, but considering that there weren't many lines, I felt that a slightly cheaper tour from another company might have been sufficient. Also, after arriving at the location, we had to wait in the bus for a while to listen to the explanation from the Japanese staff.
行列が心配でこのツアーを申し込んだが、あまり行列しないことを考えると、他社のもう少し安いツアーでもいいかもしれないと感じた。また、場所に到着した後、日本人の係員の説明を聞く為に、バスの中で暫く待たされた。
I imagined the scenery featured in a travel guide magazine when I visited the location, but I was really disappointed because it was nothing like the image I had in mind.
旅行ガイド誌に掲載されている風景を思い浮かべて現地に行ったが、
全然イメージにしていた風景ではなかったのでがっかりしました。
We played from 10:30 AM to 3 PM. I thought it was short, but since it wasn't crowded, we had a great time. It seemed like the locals were starting their new school term.
1030ー15時で遊びました。
短いと思いましたが、混んでいなかったので楽しめました。ちょうど、ローカルは新学期だったようです。
The arrival time of the tour bus overlapped, making it take too long to enter. The baggage check was also being handled by just one staff member, and it was tough waiting in the blazing sun... Please be aware that snacks and drinks are not allowed inside. They were confiscated. The slides can be experienced smoothly without any waiting time. I wonder if that entry system can be improved... The slides were a lot of fun, and I'm glad I went...
ツアーのバス到着時間が重なり、入場するのに時間がかかり過ぎる。手荷物検査も、スタッフ1人でしている状態で、炎天下の中、待つのが辛かった…
お菓子や飲み物は、持って入れないようなので、ご注意下さい。
没収されていました
スライダーは、スムーズに待ち時間がなく体験出来ますよ。
あの入場システム…どうにかならないのかなぁ…
スライダーは、とても楽しくて行って良かったと思います。。。
The boat had a Japanese female guide who made the experience enjoyable without any inconveniences! The guide was very humorous and fun, creating a friendly atmosphere. I brought my 4-year-old and 10-year-old children along.
Although it was a regular tide day at the sandbar, my 4-year-old was able to play in the shallow water that was about their waist deep. For lunch, we had hamburgers on the boat, and the kids enjoyed them very much.
For snorkeling, we could swim while wearing life jackets, and my 10-year-old had a great time seeing underwater with the borrowed snorkel. My 4-year-old was also able to swim with the life jacket and a floating device that was lent to us!
I was surprised to see many sea turtles, which I hadn't expected at all! After the activities, it felt a bit chilly, but at just the right time, they served hot chocolate, which the kids absolutely loved and enjoyed drinking.
It seems that this tour was the most fun part of our trip to Hawaii for the kids♪ Highly recommended!
船には日本人の女性のガイドの方が乗ってくれており、不自由なく楽しめました!
ガイドの方もとてもユーモアで楽しく、和気あいあいとしていました。
4歳と10歳の子供を連れて行きました。
サンドバーも普通の潮見の日でしたが、4歳児の腹ぐらいの浅瀬で遊べました。
ランチは船上でハンバーガーが食べれて、子供達も美味しく食べれてました。
シュノーケリングは、ライフジャケットを着て泳げるので、10歳は、借りたシュノーケルで水中を見れてとても楽しかった様子。
4歳児も、棒状の浮き具を貸してもらえるので、ライフジャケットと浮き具で泳げました!
あまり期待していなかったウミガメも沢山見れて、びっくり!
アクティビティの後は少し肌寒く感じたのですが、グッドタイミングで、ホットチョコレートを出して下さり、子供達はとーーーっても気に入って、喜んで飲んでいました。
今回のハワイ旅行の中で、子供達は一番楽しかったのが、このツアーだったみたいです♪
とても、オススメ♪
The day after arriving in Hawaii, I chose a course that departed at 9:30 instead of early morning. It was relaxing, so I was able to recover my energy. The scenery and timing were just right.
It had been a while since I went snorkeling, but there were no issues at all. I got to swim around the coral reefs and see beautiful fish, which made for a wonderful time. It was a bit disappointing that it was a little deep due to the tides, but the good weather and the opportunity to interact with foreign travelers made me very satisfied!
ハワイに着いた次の日なので、早朝では無く、9時半出発のコースにしました。ゆったりできたので、体力も回復。景色も時間もちょうど良かったです。
シュノーケリングも久々でしたが、何の問題もなく、サンゴ礁をぐるっと一回りしたり、綺麗な魚を見られて素晴らしい時間でした。滿汐等の関係で少し深かったのが残念でしたが、いいお天気だったことや、外国の旅行者とも交流できるので、私は大満足でした!
I arrived around 10:30 and was informed that "the return bus departs at 3:15." Considering changing clothes and having a meal, we actually had about three hours to enjoy ourselves. I thought that would be insufficient time, but it wasn't too crowded, and we were able to fully enjoy our time.
For those who will participate in the future, here are the instructions for using the lockers:
1. Operate the panel in front of the lockers (there were about 3 or 4 available).
2. Choose between small for $13 or large for $16.
3. Insert your credit card (cash was also an option, I believe).
4. Enter a four-digit number of your choice.
5. Enter the same four-digit number again.
6. The locker number you will use will be displayed.
7. The PIN for the locker will be the number you set in steps 4 and 5, and you can use it freely throughout the day.
10時半頃に到着し、「帰りのバスは3時15分に出発します」とのこと。
着替え、食事等を考えると、実際に遊べるのは3時間ほど。全然時間が足りないと思っていましたが、それほど混雑しておらず満喫することができました。
今後参加される方のためにロッカーの使用方法について記載します。
①ロッカー前のパネルを操作します。(3、4台程ありました)
②小13ドル or 大16ドルの選択をします。
③クレジットカードを通します。(現金も可能だったような)
④任意の4桁の番号を入力します。
⑤再度④と同じ4桁の番号を入力します。
⑥使用するロッカーの番号が表示されます。
⑦ロッカーの暗証番号が④と⑤で設定した番号となり一日中自由に使えます。
This was my first time in Hawaii.
I participated with my two sons, aged 9 and 11, making it a family of four.
We were satisfied with both the swimming and lunch.
This tour is popular and fills up quickly, so I recommend making a reservation early if you're considering a trip to Hawaii.
★Departure★
We were picked up under the flagpole at the Ilikai Hotel.
It’s also a pickup spot for Dolphin University and other tours, so it was quite crowded.
The bus arrived about 10 minutes late, but I felt reassured because I had called the contact number provided by Veltra to ask for the bus number.
The pickup location is also a stop for the pink line bus from Ala Moana Shopping Mall (free with a JCB card), so you could arrive by that bus as well.
After a 60-minute bus ride, we arrived at the port.
★Boarding - Sandbar★
We were split into two groups: Japanese and others.
Around 40:15, there were a lot of Japanese people.
Since the boat was the same size, it felt a bit crowded here.
We went with one Japanese person and a cheerful foreign staff member who understood Japanese. Let’s go!!
Drinks were provided along the way.
The lemonade was fantastic!
We arrived at the sandbar in about 30 minutes.
★Sandbar★
Unfortunately, it wasn't an island but rather a shallow area up to our stomachs.
If you really want an island experience, you can choose from three tour times: morning, noon, and afternoon, so check the tide schedule before making a reservation!
Here, we practiced snorkeling.
It was just right for the kids to get accustomed!
With the emerald blue sea and sandy coral, we took photos and enjoyed the clear water.
Beach volleyball was open for everyone to join!
It was a lot of fun.
Snorkels and life jackets are available for rent.
Fins are for the next coral reef.
★Lunch - Turtle Tour★
Lunch consisted of huge burgers!
The meat was freshly grilled on the boat.
The staff came aboard and performed live music with a guitar, and I thought, "Ah, this is a resort."
After finishing our meal, we set off.
We watched turtles while heading to the large coral reef.
On average, we saw one every 2-3 minutes.
I think we saw about 10-15 turtles.
★Snorkeling at the Coral Reef★
We received bread and off we went!
The fish gathered around, and when we offered the bread, they nibbled at it!
And then, a turtle swam right beside us!
I made a wish and swam together for about 30 seconds.
We swam for about 30 minutes, but due to a series of jellyfish stings (the blue ones), we had to cut it short.
(My wife also got stung.)
Those who were stung by jellyfish were treated with warm packs or cream.
The staff here were very attentive and provided great service.
We enjoyed warm drinks on the way back.
★Return★
The bus was 30 minutes late, haha.
But it was nice to have a little break on land.
It seems like taking a direct route from the boat to the bus could lead to motion sickness.
Everyone has their own perspective on this.
★Overall Review★
It was very good!
Next time, I want to achieve "landing" on the sandbar!
はじめてのハワイでした。
9歳と11歳の息子たちと家族4人で参加。
遊泳、ランチいずれも満足でした^ ^
このツアーは人気ですぐに予約で埋まってしまうので
ハワイ行きを検討されている方は早めの予約がおススメです。

イルカ大学さんやほかのツアーのピックアップ場所でもあるので
ごった返し(汗
10分遅れでバスが到着でしたが
ベルトラから案内あった当日連絡先に電話して
バスの番号を聞いていたので安心でした。
当該ピックアップ場所は、
アラモアナショッピングモールからの
ピンクラインバス(JCBカード所持で無料)
停留所でもあるので、当該バスで乗り付けてもいいですね。
バスで60分揺られて港に到着。
★乗船〜サンドバー★
日本人とそれ以外の2グループに分割。

途中飲み物提供あり。
レモネード最高!
30分ほどでサンドバーへ到着。
★サンドバー★
残念ながら島状にはなっておらず、腹〜胸くらいの浅瀬状態でした。
どうしても島がいいという人は
ツアーは午前、昼、午後の3部から選べるので
潮干狩りのように
どの日どの時間帯が干潮か、調べてから予約しましょう!
ここでシュノーケリング練習。
キッズにはちょうど良い慣らしですね!

クラゲ(青いやつ)に刺される被害者が続出(20人くらい)
のためそこで切り上げ。
(うちの嫁も被害に)
クラゲに刺された人は、お湯パックであっためたり
クリームを塗ってもらっていました。
ここでもスタッフが手厚く、対応良かったです。
あったかい飲み物を飲みながら帰投。
★帰り★
バスが30分遅れ笑
でもまあ、少し陸上で休憩できてよかったかも。
船→バスのダイレクトだと酔う可能性高そうですね。
ここの考え方は人それぞれということで。
★総評★
とても良かったです!
今度はサンドバー「上陸」果たしたいです^ ^
Great food and entertainment, staff was very friendly and service was excellent
Due to the tides and weather, the children were constantly floating, making it far from possible to walk on the sandy beach, which was disappointing. The tour program and the atmosphere with the attendants were good.
潮と天候の影響か、子供は常に浮いてる状態で、砂浜を歩くにはほど遠くて残念でした。
ツアーのプログラムやアテンドさん達の雰囲気は良かったです。
The scenery was amazing, but at this time of year, there are jellyfish, and about 5 or 6 people got stung. Of course, even on the bus during the transfer, I think it's important to inform people about the dangers more than before, as it can be dangerous! Children got stung more than adults, which is scary!
景色は最高でしたが、今の時期はクラゲがいて、5.,.6人ほど刺されました。
移動のバスの中も勿論のことツアー案内から、やはり危険は、以前より知らせないと、危ないと思いますよ!大人以上に子供も刺されましたが、怖いですよねー!
There were several areas that were closed, and I was really disappointed that I couldn't try the slide I wanted to. However, even though we had to line up, we didn't have to wait too long and were able to slide multiple times, which was a lot of fun. At the entrance, there was a strict check of belongings, and food is not allowed to be brought in. Inside, there are hamburgers and pizza, but it takes quite a while to buy them, so it might be a good idea to line up with some extra time and take turns playing.
閉鎖されてるところが何箇所かありやってみたかったスライダーができなかったのがとても残念。
しかし、列も並んでもそれほど待つ事なく何度も滑ることができてとても楽しく遊べました。
出入口では厳しい持ち物チェックがあり、食べ物は持ち込み出来ません。
中にハンバーグやビザがあるのですがとにかく買うまでに時間がかかるので余裕を持って並んで交代で遊ぶくらいでもいいかも。
I have no complaints about the transportation or the plan. However, there were no detailed explanations or guidance on-site, making everything quite confusing. It doesn't go as smoothly as it does in Japan. For those who love slides, I think it's enjoyable since you don't have to wait in long lines like in Japan. The bodyboard lesson started with about 30 seconds of explanation in English, and after that, we just played around riding the waves, which was fun.
送迎、プランには不満はありません。ただ、現地では詳しい説明も、案内もなく、何をするにもわかりづらいです。日本のようにスムーズにはいきません。スライダー好きの方は、日本のようにたくさん並ばないので楽しいと思います。ボディーボードレッスンは、最初に30秒くらい英語で説明があって、その後は勝手に波に乗って遊ぶだけでしたが楽しかったです。
My family and I had a great time with star of Honolulu!! Tyler was great in serving us and he was always making sure we were all fine!!!
For me , this activity is a must to do every time we come to Oahu!!!
Due to the season, we didn't see any sandbars like those on TV, but the service was sufficient and good. The food was more to our liking than that of the famous tours, and the kids ate a lot.
季節柄、テレビに出てくるようなサンドバーは見られませんでしたが、必要十分なサービスで良かったです。
ご飯も有名ツアーのものより我が家は好みで子供達も沢山食べていました。
This was the most beautiful place ever. The kids really enjoyed the snorkelling here, lots of beautiful fish to see. The online booking process was simple and price was very affordable. Our driver was friendly and explained how to use the equipment. Pickup and drop off was on time. Highly recommend! Will be back to do this again!
This was my second experience at the sandbar. This time, I went with a different tour company. It's called the Angel Sea Tour, but the person calling out at the meeting point wasn't very good at Japanese, so be sure to remember "Captain Bob Tours" as well!
The sandbar itself has territories depending on the tour company, so it's hard to say, but unfortunately, there was still water up to my knees this time. It's understandable given the weather, season, and lunar phases.
The flow was the same as the previous tour with another company: heading from the port to the sandbar → playing at the sandbar → lunch → snorkeling. There were two buses and two boats. One boat was just for Japanese people, while the other had a mix of Japanese and international guests (laughs). There were about 100 people in total.
The Angel Sea Tour offers:
- BBQ lunch that is incredibly delicious! They grill hamburgers on the boat!
- The tour guide is great at getting everyone excited and entertained.
They provide activities like beach volleyball at the sandbar.
- They don’t do annoying things like taking photos and selling them! (laughs)
- I encountered a giant sea turtle while snorkeling!
So, I highly recommend this tour!
サンドバーは2度目の体験。前回とは違うツアー会社でした。天使の海ツアーとなっていますが、集合場所での呼び出しは日本語があまり得意でない方でしたので、「キャプテンボブツアー」とも是非覚えておきましょう!
サンドバー自体はツアー会社によってのテリトリーがあるので、なんともいえないですが、残念ながら今回も膝下くらいまで水がありました。天候や季節、月の満ち欠けの影響があるので仕方ないですね。
流れは前回の他社のツアーとも同じく、港からサンドバーへ向かう→サンドバーで遊ぶ→ランチ→シュノーケリングの構成でした。
バス2台分、船は2隻。1隻は日本人だけ、もう一隻は半分日本人+多国籍軍でした(笑)全体で100名くらいでしょうか。
天使の海ツアーは、
・BBQランチがめちゃくちゃおいしい!船の上でハンバーグ焼いてます!
・添乗員さんが盛り上げ上手!楽しませてくれます
サンドバーではビーチバレーなど用意してくれています
・写真撮影して販売する・・など、うっとおしいことしません!笑
・シュノーケリングで巨大ウミガメに遭遇!
ということで、おすすめツアーです!
I couldn't see many dolphins, but all the staff were bright and fun, making for an enjoyable time. My preschooler was reluctant to snorkel and wanted to stay on the boat, but a staff member picked her up and took her into the water. Although she couldn't snorkel, she had a great time singing while swaying with the waves. I'm very grateful to the staff who tried to entertain the whole family.
イルカはたくさんはみることができませんでしたが、スタッフの皆さんが明るく、楽しい方ばかりで楽しい時間が過ごせました。幼稚園の子供がシュノーケルを嫌がり船に残ろうとしましたが、スタッフのお姉さんが抱きかかえて海に連れて行ってくれました。シュノーケルはできなかったものの、波に揺られながら歌を歌って楽しませてくれて娘もとても楽しく過ごせました。家族全員を楽しませてくれようとしたスタッフさん達に感謝でいっぱいです。
Thank you for your kind comment. We are honored that you enjoyed your experience. Please come back and visit us again!
嬉しい書き込みありがとうございます。楽しんでいただけて光栄です。また是非遊びに来てください。
The driver tried to separate our seats, which had two participants. It seemed like they wanted to put their luggage in the front seat? This was our second time, but the lunch was of lower quality compared to last time, and it wasn't BBQ! The biggest disappointment was that we had to snorkel in a line. I think they should advertise it as suitable for beginners. I don't think I'll participate next time.
ドライバーが2人参加の私達の席を別々に座らせようとしました。自分の荷物を前席に置きたいらしく?
今回は2回目でしたが、前回よりランチもランクダウン、BBQ?ではなかった!そして一番の残念は並んでスノーケリングしなければならなかった事。初級者用と宣伝した方が良いと思います。今度は参加しないと思います。
I was really interested in the Angel's Sea experience, so I decided to participate. After checking reviews, magazines, and online information, I learned that the tide is better in the early morning, so I joined the morning session. When I woke up, the weather was clear, and I was excited as I was taken to the boat dock, but the weather started to look a bit suspicious. It didn't seem like it would rain, but there were quite a few clouds. Despite the situation, we boarded the boat and set sail for the spot! The Japanese guide (female) who was with us in the shuttle and on the boat provided very clear explanations and kept everyone entertained with her bright energy.
First, we stopped the boat at a spot where turtles are known to appear for some watching. Although they didn't come right in front of us, we did see quite a few turtles. Everyone was excited and taking photos. Next, we headed to the sandbar. As I mentioned earlier, there were many clouds, so it felt a bit chilly when we arrived at the sandbar! I was disappointed because I had relied on the information for the morning session, but the tide was not very low, only about waist-deep. The water level was lower than expected, around ankle-deep, and without any sunshine, it felt cold and a bit murky. Because of this, the snorkeling experience was less enjoyable.
It seems that the timing might have been off, or perhaps the volcanic activity on the Big Island affected the weather, causing many clouds and a whitish appearance around us. There were mountains where Jurassic World was filmed, and I couldn't help but think how beautiful it would have been if the weather had been clear! I was filled with regret, imagining the stunning scenery like in the experience photos. This time, we had a light meal with sandwiches, which were quite tasty. Drinks like cola, Sprite, tea, and other beverages were available for free.
For those who will participate in the future, I can only say that if you're lucky enough to have clear weather, you will have an amazing time! Locals also mentioned that the early morning is better for the tide, so it might be a good idea to choose the morning session. All we can do is hope for good weather. I hope to join again someday in perfect sunny conditions.
天使の海すごく興味が有り参加しました。口コミ情報や雑誌やネットなどの説明を見て朝早い方が潮引きが良いと知り朝早い時間帯で参加しました。朝起きてかなりの晴天でワクワクしながら船乗りばまで送迎してもらうなかなんだか天気が怪しい感じ。雨は降りそうもないけど雲がかなり多くなってきた。状況が変わらず船に乗りスポットまで出航!送迎車から船の中もずっと一緒に乗っていた日本人(女性)のガイドさんは、とても分かりやすい説明に非常に明るいテンションでみんなを楽しく和ませていました。まず亀の出るスポットで船のエンジンを止めてウォッチング。本当の目の前には現れなかったものの、結構亀が出現しました。みんな興奮して写真を撮っていました。次にサンドバーに向かいました。最初にも言ったように雲が多かったのでちょっと肌寒い感じの中サンドバーに到着!しっかり情報をあてにして朝の参加にしたのに残念。潮引きがあまく腰位迄の深さでした。足首程度の水位の期待が外れて晴れ間がないから寒いし少し濁って見える感じでした。なのでシュノーケルも楽しさが半減でした。時期が悪かったのかハワイ島の噴火の影響で風に流れて雲が多く辺りが白っぽい感じになってしまっているそうです。ジェラシックワールドの撮影された山があったりで、これが晴天だったらどんなに綺麗なんだろう!体験談の写真にのような素晴らしい景色なんだろうと悔やんでしょうがない気持ちでいっぱいでした。今回は軽食付きでサンドイッチを頂きました。普通に美味しかったです。ドリンクはコーラ、スプライト、紅茶、お茶などが飲み放題でした。これから参加する方には運良く晴天でであれば最高な時間を過ごせるよ!としか言えません。現地の方に聞いても朝早い方が潮引きが良いと言っていましたので、朝早い方便を選んだ方が良いかもしれません。天気は願うしかありません。いつかまた最高の晴天で参加したいです。
Total package from online reservation, round-trip Transportation, LARGE SHIP, meal, entertainment & position of ship for Friday Night Fireworks over Waikiki, panoramic views of Waikiki, & stunning sunset, easily 5 STARS. Must Do Activity.
Zero bad things to say about the whole experience!
First, the bus driver, Rey, was friendly and prompt!
The host, Jenner, was also extremely friendly and funny!
Mike and Tyson, the dudes on the boat, were insanely helpful and welcoming!
If you're staying in Waikiki, I recommend taking their shuttle. There are various location pickups throughout Waikiki, so you can just walk to one.
The tour starts at the sandbar, where you can walk around explore. They also have a volleyball net setup, which is super cool. Next, we are served freshly cooked burgers and snacks on the boat. Then, after lunch, we sail to an area where we can turtle watch. Lastly, we were taken to a nearby reef, where we could snorkel for an hour. They provide all the proper snorkeling gear and life vests, so no need to bring your own.
Unlike in Japan, the active facilities were not very crowded, making it comfortable. By the way, bringing food and drinks is completely prohibited, so be careful about that (I regret not checking the rules properly). The kids were very satisfied, sliding down the various slides dozens of times. However, this seems to be the case everywhere; there are long lines at the shops for food and drinks, so it's better to line up early during less busy times to secure lunch. Other than that, it was a comfortable and enjoyable place that I recommend. I felt that it would have been better if we had a little more time to enjoy it. The opening is at 10 AM, and gathering is at 3 PM, so considering the time for entry, changing clothes, and securing food, the actual operating time is until 3 PM.
日本とは違いあまり各アクティブ施設が混んでおらず快適でした。ちなみに飲食物は持ち込み完全禁止ですので要注意です(注意事項を良く確認しないで言った為です、反省)子供たちもスライダー各種を何十回と滑り大満足でした。ただこれは何処でも同じなのでしょうが、飲食を使用と買い求めるショップに大行列になりますので、すいている時間に早めに並んで昼食を確保しておいた方がいいでしょう。それ以外は快適に楽しめたおすすめの場所でした。
楽し買った分、時間がもう少し長ければ良いと感じました
開演10時、集合15時、実際入場、着替え、食事確保など考えると3時の稼働時間になります
This was my first trip to Hawaii with my family. The ocean was like paradise, and I was right to check the tide times in advance for this day. Although it wasn't completely like a sandbar, the beautiful sand reflecting on the water was truly a sight that you can't find in Japan. The kids were also impressed, but our time there was limited to taking photos or playing volleyball. The volleyball court was taken over by some very energetic foreigners, and the Japanese boat team was just watching. I felt that if there were more activities to enjoy here, it would create a better experience and more memorable moments. Things like rubber boats, trampolines, water polo, water guns, etc. would really enhance the experience.
But the ocean was beautiful.
I also heard about a BBQ lunch, but it was just a burger, which was disappointing.
私自身、初めてのハワイで家族をつれての旅行でした。天国の海、期待して前もって潮の時間も確認してこの日にして正解でした。完全には中洲みたいな砂浜がでている状態ではありませんでしたが、膝下くらいで綺麗な砂が海面に反射してまさしく日本にはにない綺麗な海でした。子供たちも感動しておりましたが、ココでの時間は写真撮影か、バレーしかありませんでした。バレーボールはハイテンションな外人さんに占領され日本人ボートチームはただソレを見ているだけでした。ココでもっと過ごすに楽しめる物を催してくれたら、差別化がもっと出来るし、思い出も、感動も倍増するのでは・・と感じました。ゴムボート、トランポリン、水球、水鉄砲、エトセトラ・・・
でも海は綺麗でした
あと、BBQランチと聴いていましたがただのバーガーでした
残念でした
I often use ZAVAS, but it's quite difficult to go to Wet 'n' Wild Hawaii from there, so I used it again this year, just like last year. If I have the chance, I will use it again.
ザバスをよく利用しますが、ウェット・アンド・ワイルド・ハワイにはザバスではなかなか行きにくいので、去年に続いて今年も利用させてもらいました。
また機会があれば、利用させてもらいます。
