Oahu
I had a really fun day.
The weather was also great.
I was lucky to see a pair of large manta rays.
I also saw many sea turtles.
I'm grateful for the wonderful memories.
本当に楽しい一日を過ごせました。
天候にも恵まれ^_−☆
大きなマンタのツガイも見る事が出来て
ラッキーでした。海亀も沢山 見れました。
良い思い出に感謝です。
The long-awaited sandbar was amazing. The weather was perfect, and when we landed on the island from the boat, the water was only up to my knees— the island was completely visible. It seems I was able to participate at a great time. The staff was attentive to every detail, and I had a wonderful day.
念願のサンドバー感動でした。
天候も最高で、島にボートから上陸する時は
膝したまでしか お水が無く〜
島もすっぽり浮き出てました。良い時期に参加出来た
みたいです。スタッフさん達も細かな対応が出来てて
楽しい一日を過ごせました。
Our group of 17 took the afternoon sail. The crew wants to have as much fun as their guests so they do their best to create a memorable experience. One meal, snacks, non-alcoholic drinks and complete snorkel gear is included in the cost.
There are two locations where swimming among sea turtles is likely. For $5 you can get a quart size of fish food and it is suggested to feed the fish at the last location. Divers don't mind diving to the bottom and up close to the marine life with your waterproof camera to get some amazing shots - just ask them. A photographer comes along to capture all the beautiful moments both on board and underwater. A dvd of 500+ photos of your trip for $65 is worth it.
Served during the last snorkling location, our family style lunch of kalua pork and teriyaki chicken sliders with all the trimmings was plentiful and satisfying. Alocholic drinks are $4.
Great first-time deep sea snorkling experience. Would definitely go again with these guys! Mahalo!
Thanks for joining our newer product- the Catamaran Snorkel and Sail- we love the stylish snorkeling experience we can offer on this tour and that the boat can accommodate both food and a bar. We also offer a mini dive called SNUBA on this trip. On your next trip out, we'd love to show your group. Thanks again for joining us. We look forward to your return visit!
It's an ordinary pool!
I went with the deluxe plan, but I only went for the all-you-can-drink drinks once...
The place to get them always had a line (;´Д`)
Lunch was quite good★
As for the board lesson... it felt more like the deluxe plan people just had the pool to themselves to use the boards... I wasn't really taught anything!
普通のプールです!
デラックスプランで行きましたが、飲み放題のドリンクは一回しか行ってません…
貰うところが常に行列( ;´Д`)
お昼ご飯はなかなかイケました★
ボードLessonについては…Lessonというよりデラックスプランの人だけ
プールを貸し切ってボードをする感じ…
教えてはもらってないです!
I was worried about seasickness, but it wasn't a big deal and the boat was comfortable. The food was tastier than I expected. I was lucky to see whales multiple times and was able to take great photos. The onboard cultural programs were diverse, and I enjoyed participating in activities like lei making and hula dance lessons.
船酔い心配しましたが、たいしたこともなく快適な船でした。食事は思ってたよりおいしかったです。クジラ、ラッキーにも何度も見れ、写真もしっかりとれました。船内のカルチャープログラムも多彩でレイ作り、フラダンス講習など楽しんで参加できました。
Thank you very much for using Star of Honolulu today. I'm glad to hear that seasickness wasn't a significant issue. I'm very happy that you enjoyed the whales, cultural program, and hula dancing. We look forward to serving you again!
本日、スターオブホノルルをご利用いただきまことに有難うございました。船酔いがたいしたことでなく良かったです。クジラ、カルチャープログラム、フラダンスなど楽しんでいただいてとてもうれしいです。またのご利用をお待ちしております!
The tour guide was the most personable, knowledgable tour guides I have ever had. She took the time to explain where we were, what was special about it and answered any and all questions. Would definitely use their services again!
Thank you so much for the good review.
After the morning pickup, we traveled to Kaneohe with a somewhat suspicious tour guide. On the bus ride, we listened to his light-hearted talk (in English) filled with jokes, and soon we arrived at Kaneohe Bay. The ratio of Japanese to foreign tourists was about half and half. Those who don't understand English might feel quite anxious here (laughs).
At Kaneohe Bay, there were two boats, one for foreign tourists and one for Japanese tourists. On the Japanese boat, a beautiful Japanese lady (who seemed captivated by Hawaii and decided not to return to Japan) guided us in Japanese.
The sandbar has varying water depths depending on the time of day, so I think it's best to go during the times when the water is shallower. Additionally, one of my companions was quite prone to seasickness, but as explained, the waves in Kaneohe Bay are always calm, and we were able to finish the trip without much seasickness! Let's shout "Aloha!" loudly on the boat!
朝のピックアップ後、怪しげなオッチャンのツアコンとともにカネオヘまで移動。
往路のバスではその怪しげなオッチャンのジョークを交えた軽快なトーク(英語)を聞きながら
ほどなくカネオヘ湾に到着しました。
日本人と外国人の割合は半々ぐらいでしたね。
英語がわからない人は多分ここでめっちゃ不安になります(笑)
が、カネオヘ湾では2つ船があって、外国人輸送船と日本人輸送船に分かれ、
日本人輸送船では美人な日本人お姉さん(ハワイに魅せられ日本に帰らなくなった感じ)が
日本語で案内してくれました。
サンドバーは、時間帯によって浅瀬の水深が違うので、水深が浅い時間帯を狙って
行くのがいいと思います。
また、同行者がかなり船酔いしやすいタイプだったのですが、
カネオヘ湾は説明のとおり常に波は穏やかで、ほとんど船酔いもせずに終えることができました!
船上では、大きな声でアローハーと叫びましょう!
I experienced Wet 'n' Wild.
First, regarding the temperature in Hawaii, it’s cool in the morning and the water is cold in the morning, so I recommend going in the afternoon!
It said the area is three times the size of Tokyo Dome, but the area with the slides is densely packed, making it easy to get around.
What caught my attention was the lockers and changing area.
In Japan, pools are adjacent to the entrance, but at Wet 'n' Wild, there are no lockers near the entrance! The lockers and changing area are located in the middle of the park.
The lockers operate on a system where you pay an attendant and receive a key. You can access it freely!
As for the changing area... it’s just a tiny space next to the restroom!!
There were showers, but no mirrors or hair dryers.
The ground in the park gets extremely hot from the sunlight, so sandals are a must!!
When waiting in line for the slides, you leave your sandals at the entrance, but there’s a high chance they could be stolen, so be very careful! A friend of mine had theirs stolen.
As for the slides, in Japan, you would typically wait over 30 minutes, but here I was able to ride almost immediately! I managed to go on about 12 rides in three hours★ The Shaka, Tornado, and Island Racer, which aren’t available in Japan, are highly recommended!!
ウェット&ワイルド体験してまいりました。
まずハワイの気温ですが、朝は涼しくて午前中は水が冷たいので、午後から行くのがオススメです!
広さが東京ドームの3倍と書いてましたが、スライダーがあるエリアは密集しているので行動しやすかったです。
気になったのは、ロッカー&着替えスペース
日本のプールは入り口と隣接していますが、ウェット&ワイルドは入り口付近にはありません!園内の真ん中にロッカーと着替えスペースがあります。
ロッカーは係員にお金を支払い鍵をもらうシステム。出し入れは自由です!
着替えスペースは・・・トイレの横にちょこっとだけ!!
シャワーはありましたが鏡やドライヤーなどはありません。
園内の地面は日光が当たってむちゃく ちゃ熱いのでサンダルは必需品!!
スライダーに並ぶ際はスライダー入り口前に置いていきますが、盗まれる可能性大なので厳重注意です!友達は盗まれてしまいました。
スライダーですが、日本だと30分以上の待ち時間になりますが、ほとんど待ち時間なしで乗ることができました!3時間で12個ほど乗れましたよ★日本には無いシャカ・トルネード・アイランドレーサーはかなりオススメです!!
The sea was beautiful and wonderful. I was glad to see sea turtles as well. Time flew by, and I wish I could have relaxed a bit longer.
海が綺麗で素敵でした。ウミガメも見れて良かったです。あっという間に時間が過ぎたので、もう少しのんびりしたかったです。
First, I recommend securing a spot. The area near the wave pool is a great choice! There are plenty of slides, and it's a lot of fun. The prices are reasonable, and I'm satisfied!
まずは場所の確保をオススメします。波のプール近くがオススメですよ
スライダーもたくさんあって楽しいです。
お値段も手頃で満足です!
The entertainment was wonderful. The food was a disappointment. in fact, the cheaper tickets that went through the buffet had it better because they got as much as they wanted. Also, there wasn't much difference between our seats and theirs. I would do it again but would buy the cheaper tickets.
umm it's good but not the best
try it and post review
We had a blast!, great food, all you can eat crab legs. great service and great show! If you're still deciding what dinner cruise you should take, here's your answer! You can't go wrong! My suggestion take this event as your grand finale of your vacation, probably on the last day of your trip. Thanks so much hawaiian activities, they added Hanauma Bay trip as a extra bonus at no cost( but you need to pay for the entrance fee)which you can not missed! My family and I had a wonderful time.
Tour was great and the tour guide did a great job. However, the pick up point was a closed hotel and not well marked. Took a while to find the pick up point, which was only a block away from the hotel where we were staying. Do not understand this as other buses from the same company were picking up at out hotel. We spend a few hours trying to find the pick up point and the operator that was called was not helpful. Overall it was a very nice day but it didn't start out the way that was expected. You need to set the pick up point at the hotel staying. Do not understand why he had to find a closed hotel!
The sea was truly beautiful. It wasn't very shallow, so when we got off the boat, the water was up to my thighs, and my 70-year-old mother said she was scared to go into the sea. However, one of the staff members said, "Since you came all this way, let's go to the sandbar," and he actually carried my mother there. It was so moving! Thank you very much.
The hamburgers for lunch were also delicious, as they grilled the patties on the boat.
We were able to see several sea turtles, and snorkeling was a lot of fun. There were staff members who were fluent in Japanese, so I had no worries at all.
本当に海が綺麗でした。 そんなに引いてなかったので、船から降りた時は太ももくらいまで水につかりながら、サンドバーまで歩く状態のため、70歳の母は怖がって海に入らないと言ってましたが、スタッフのお兄さんが、「せっかく来たんだからサンドバーまで行きましょう」と、なんと母をおぶって連れて行ってくれました。感動です!! ありがとうございました。
昼食のハンバーガーも、船でパテを焼いてて、とってもおいしかったです。
海ガメも何匹も見ることができたし、シュノーケリングもとても楽しかったです。日本語堪能のスタッフがいるので、不安は全くありませんでした。
We participated in a tour from 8 to around 10 with a one-and-a-half-year-old child, and all the staff were wonderful and kind, making it a very enjoyable experience. There is a bit of distance from the boat to the sandbar, so I think it would have been helpful to have a suggestion to bring floaties for small children who can't swim (we brought our own, so it wasn't a problem, but I think having rentals available would be good). The snacks weren't very tasty, so if they were that limited, it might be better to just offer drinks and increase the variety. If the price were a bit lower, I would definitely want to participate again.
1歳半の子連れで8時から10時頃のツアーに参加しましたが、スタッフが皆さん素晴らしく優しい方たちで、とても楽しめました。船からサンドバーまでは少し距離があるので、泳げない小さな子連れには浮き輪を持ってくるような案内があっても良かったと思います(うちは持っていっていたので問題なかったですが、貸し出しがあってもいいかと思います)
スナックはあまり美味しくなかったので、あれくらいだったらドリンクだけにしてもっと種類を増やす方がいいかと。その分もう少し安ければ、また参加したいと思います。
I participated in October 2011. I apologize for the old story. I was anxious about bringing my five-year-old twins, but thanks to Yuka (I wonder if she’s still there), everything was completely fine. The kids got so comfortable that they flew over to me while I was already in the sea. Having twins was no obstacle at all, and I’m very grateful.
2011年10月に参加しました。古い話でスミマセンが。
双子の五歳児連れで不安がありましたが、ユカさん(今もいるかな)
のおかげでまったく大丈夫。子供たちもなついて安心するあまり、
先に海に入ってた私のところに空中を飛んできました。
双子連れが全く障害にならず、感謝感謝。
I've been to Oahu about ten times, and since I lived there for a few months during a short language study program, I thought there wouldn't be any places I didn't know. But there were! (◎o◎;)Well, it's been about seven years since my last visit... There are sandbars in various places, so I wasn't expecting much, but it's still Hawaii! I'm super excited! The local crew is cheerful, and they took lots of photos. We quickly went snorkeling, saw some fish, ate sandwiches, and wrapped it up quickly. I guess I would get bored after about 30 minutes! In the afternoon, we could fit in other activities too, so it's a groundbreaking tour (^-^). However, while searching for sea turtles, I was excited until I saw two or three, but after that, I just swayed on the boat and relaxed...
オアフ島は、10回は来ていて
短期の語学留学で数カ月住んでいたのもあって
知らない場所もないかなぁと思ったら
あった!(◎o◎;)
まぁ最後に来たのも7年前くらいだし・・・
砂州は色んな所にあるので期待もしていなかったが
やっぱりハワイですな!
テンション上がりまくりまクリスティ~♪
現地のクルーの人達も明るいし
写真もバンバン撮ってくれて、さくっとシュノーケリングして
魚見て、サンドイッチ食って、さくっと終了~
まぁ、きっと30分もいたら飽きるっしょ!
午後は、他のアクティビティーも入れられるし
画期的なツアーですな(^-^)
ただ、ウミガメ探しは2,3匹見るまではテンション上がっていましたが
その後は、船にユラユラゆられ
マッタリしていた・・・
The sea didn't seem very beautiful, perhaps because it was cloudy. The bottom of the boat is designed as a toilet that directly flushes into the sea, right? There was something floating on the surface of the water that looked like a piece of wood, and when I tried to grab it and throw it far away, it turned out to be feces. Moreover, there were two spots floating around.
曇っていたせいか、海はあまりきれいに感じなかったです。船の底がトイレになって海に直接流すようになってるんですよね?海の表面になにか木切れのようなものが浮いていて、つかんで遠くに投げようとしたらそれはうんちでした。しかも2箇所にぷかぷか浮いていました。
I participated with a senior colleague from work. The staff were very friendly, and there was music playing on the boat, creating a fun atmosphere. I was expecting a BBQ on board, but it was just simple hamburgers, which was a bit disappointing. However, they were very delicious! Everyone had the chance to see dolphins and sea turtles, as we were able to enter the water twice at the designated points. The hula dancing was physically demanding, but I enjoyed the whole day. I think it would be a lot of fun to participate with a large group of friends.
会社の先輩と参加しました。
スタッフの方々がとても気さくで船上でも音楽がかかっていたりと、
楽しい雰囲気でした。
船上ではBBQと聞き、期待していましたが簡単なハンバーガーだったのが少し残念でした。とても美味しかったですが!
イルカと海亀は全員がみれるようにポイント地点では2回海に入ることができました。
体力的にフラダンスがキツかったですが一日中満喫できました。
大人数の友達と参加するととても楽しいと思いました。
I've been to Hawaii several times, but this was the first time I learned about such a large pool and decided to participate.
The facilities were indeed on a grand scale, as expected from an overseas location. I had some concerns about safety and lacked the courage to try some of the slides, which left me with a bit of regret, but all the slides were fun.
I went with a few friends this time, and there were many slides that could accommodate multiple people, so there was no need for anyone to wait in line.
Even though it was a weekday, it got quite lively in the afternoon, so there were always opportunities to enjoy the slides.
On the day we participated, it rained occasionally, which caused us to take breaks, but while chatting with my friends, we said, "It’s hard to imagine screaming like this in a pool in Japan," and we forgot our age and had a great time.
There are lockers available, but I think around $15 per person, including food and drinks, is sufficient, just for your reference.
Depending on the crowd, I believe you can enjoy all the slides in about three hours.
For those with children, there were many families playing together on the smaller slides, which makes for great memories.
ハワイは何度か行っていますが
こんな大きいプールがあることをはじめて知り、参加しました。
施設はさすが海外の規模でした。
ちょっと安全面が心配で勇気がなく遊べないスライダーもあり若干の後悔を残しましたが 笑
どのスライダーもおもしろかったです。
今回は友人と数名で行きましたが
複数名で乗れるスライダーも多くあったので
誰かが順番待ちで調整するなどもありません。
平日でしたが、午後からは結構にぎわっていたので
どのスライダーも常時遊べるタイミングはありました。
参加した日は雨が時々ふったりしたため遊びを中断する時もありましたが
「日本でこんなにプールで絶叫することはありえないだろうね」
と友人と言いながら、歳を忘れはしゃぎました。
ロッカーもありますが、
食事&飲み物含め一人15ドル程度あれば、十分だと思いますのでご参考まで。
混み具合にもよりますが、3時間もあればスライダーは一通り楽しめると思います。
お子さんがいる方は、小さい子供用のすべり台で
一緒に遊んでいるファミリーも沢山いたので良い思い出になりますね。
I enjoyed the cruise dinner very much. Beautiful meal with a beautiful transportation to take in the view of the beautiful island.
This event was amazing!!! There is so much history behind it, that I left hungry to come back for more information!! It's a must see for everyone!!! It's an unforgettable experience!! Get to experience the deck in battleship Missouri. The tourist guide where very helpful. I'm happy that I booked all my activities with Veltra Hawaii activities, they send me reminders and I got curtesy calls 1 day prior to my events. Thanks again for all your great work!!
This show will spoil you...other luaus just won't measure up! Do yourself a favor and get the Royal seating close to the stage, especially if you will be attending with kids. You don't want them to miss a thing! We all loved it!
My grandmother and I chose this as something different to do from the sightseeing and beach time we had been enjoying. The transportation is great even for those of us that are familiar with the island, and well worth the additional cost. The seating area is packed and truly would be more enjoyable with fewer people crammed in. The food and service were far better than expected and the "All You Can Eat" crab truly lives up to the name. The boat from an external view is beautiful and makes a striking appearance out on the open ocean. On the decks there are areas that could be maintained better, especially the areas that food is served from and are in plain view of guests. The top deck is amazing for catching sight of the city line and would be a great place to spend a romantic evening with a significant other. Overall this is something that I am glad we experienced and would be willing to take others on.
The children especially had the most fun!
The kids' pool was well-equipped with many small slides, and at first, they were very curious watching other kids enjoy themselves. Gradually, they started to challenge themselves with various activities.
The lifeguards were attentive, regularly checking on the children's actions, and if they engaged in any risky behavior, they would blow their whistles to alert them. It felt a bit strict at times, but I thought it was likely for the children's safety.
The adult slides and activities were also impressive in scale, featuring attractions that you wouldn't find in Japan, which was truly breathtaking.
I look forward to the next visit when my children are a bit older, as there are slides they can challenge together with the whole family. It would be great to enjoy the slides together on the same float.
There are also coin lockers conveniently located in the center of the facility, making it easy to store and retrieve our belongings.
I can't wait for the next time we can go!
特に子供が一番楽しめていました♪
子供用のプールが充実していて小さいスライダーなど沢山あり
最初は他の子が楽しんでるのを見て興味深々で
少しずついろいろなアクティティにチャレンジしていました。
ライフガードの方々がこまめに子供たちの行動をチェックしていて
少しでも危ない行動をしたら笛を吹いて注意を促すなど
まあ少しは厳しくも感じましたが、逆に子供たちの安全を考えての事なのだろうなと思いました。
大人向けのスライダーとうやアクティビティも迫力満点のスケールで
日本ではないアトラクションなどもありとても圧巻されました。
是非次回もう少し子供が大きくなり一緒にチャレンジできるスライダーとかもありましたので
一緒に家族全員同じ浮き輪でスライダーを楽しめたらと思っています。
施設の中心にコインロッカーもあるので、そこまで結構出し入れ等便利でした。
また次回行ける日を楽しみにしています!
My friend and I decided to check this out as we were looking for something to do for the night. I have been to many Luau's before so I wasn't expecting anything amazing, but I turned out to be very wrong. the Chief was extremely funny throughout the whole night and he was also very interactive with the crowd. They had some fun activities before the Luau as well so that was fun. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a great night with great people! Hands down the best Luau I have done.
I gave an ok/average rating because this was an expensive excursion and the snorkeling was not up to par. The staff was incredible---- friendly, fun and courteous, but this seemed to be a boat ride geared toward hanging out and drinking on the boat rather than seeing awesome fish, coral reefs, etc. We had 2 snorkel stops and fish/turtles were average. But the crew made sure we saw dolphins from the boat, which was cool.
As far as snorkeling, it was nothing too interesting especially because my husband and I have done amazing snorkeling in Maui and Bora Bora. If you want to drink and relax for an afternoon, this is a top choice. But, a little too expensive for what you get if you are really into snorkeling and seeing different kinds of underwater life.
Thanks for your feedback. We definitely understand that our reef is hard coral- so not the soft fanning coral you get in warm waters, but we strive to do a great job showcasing what we do have to offer on Oahu. One of the sites is Oahu's second largest living reef, though due to weather/water conditions we can't always go there. Perhaps next time you can join us on our other tour- the Dolphin Snorkel Tour- which offers THREE snorkel sites (not two that the Sail offers) including a chance to snorkel view dolphins in the wild. It sounds like you are seeking more adventure and that is what that tour offers. Adventure! We hope to see you again. Thank you!
First, when I was looking at the tour, I was a little hesitant to go for this as the fare is not casual to take my parents, my 3-year-old son, husband, and me. In the end, I am really proud of myself for deciding to join the tour.
It was just breathtaking: blue sky, emerald ocean, and white sand.

Eccellente! Lovely dining atmosphere, superb food presentation and attentive wait staff.
Couple of my friends and I ordered the Bolognese Alla "Siciliana" and the Frutti Di Mare entrees, both dishes were really good. Bolognese is what you would want to order if your not familiar with ordering Italian food. Restaurant was a 2 minute walk from my hotel (stayed at the Sheraton Waikiki Hotel) so it was very convenient. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to everyone back at home on the East coast!
Ciao Baby!
