Oahu
This was my first time participating in seven years, and this time I brought my children aged 2, 5, and 9. The parasol we rented couldn't be used due to strong winds. Well, that was the same as seven years ago.
I really wanted my 9-year-old son to succeed at snorkeling, but he got scared and gave up.
I think the shuttle service was around $45 seven years ago, but now the price is almost double.
Overall, I felt it wasn't suitable for families with small children, but since this is our family's situation, I will give it 4 stars.
7年ぶりの参加で、今回は2歳5歳9歳の子連れ。
せっかく借りたパラソルが強風で使えず。まあこれは7年前も同じ。
せめて9歳の長男はシュノーケリング成功させたかったけど、怖がって断念。
7年前はシャトルサービス45ドルくらいだったと思うが、今は値段がほぼ倍。
全体に、小さな子連れには不向きだと思いましたが、
これは我が家の事情なので、★4つにします。
The sunset, night view, and Friday fireworks were all very beautiful. The food was delicious, but I felt it was a bit lacking in quantity. The five-star seats were quite cold, so a jacket is a must. It was so cold that I often went outside to warm up. (laugh)
サンセット、夜景、金曜日の花火どれもとても綺麗でした。料理は美味しかったのですが少し量が足りなくて物足りない感じです。5スターの席はかなり寒いので上着は必須です。寒すぎて船外にちょくちょく暖をとりに行ってました。笑
Thank you very much for joining our Star of Honolulu dinner cruise. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed the five-star cruise. We are also glad that you were able to take in the beautiful night view of Waikiki and enjoy the Hilton fireworks on Friday. We look forward to welcoming you back again.
この度は私共のスターオブホノルル号デイナークルーズにお越し頂き誠に有難うございました。ファイブスターでのクルーズをお楽しみ頂けました様で大変嬉しく思います。そして、船上からの素敵なワイキキの夜景や金曜日のヒルトンの花火も満喫して頂き嬉しく思っております。またのお越しをスタッフ一同お待ち申し上げております。
This cruise was not very good. The food was cold and the meat was mostly fat and if I could guess, it was about a 2 ounce cut of fat. The show was 2 people, doing a song. Not what I would think a show of the culture would be.
I went by rental car without a shuttle service. The parking fee was $20. I was able to park in a covered area, so the car didn't get too hot. There were relatively few Japanese people. There was a baggage check upon entry, and items that are not allowed are confiscated. Locker rental is an additional cost. I rented a larger locker for $18. Credit cards are accepted. Overall, there were fewer customers, so I was able to slide on the slides whenever I wanted. Unfortunately, the lazy river was closed on the day I visited, which was very disappointing. The operating hours that day were from 10:30 AM to 3:00 PM, which felt a bit short, but I had a lot of fun.
送迎なしでレンタカーで行きました。駐車場代20ドル。屋根のある場所に停められたので車中が灼熱にならずに済みました。比較的日本の人たちは少なかったです。入場時に荷物検査があり、持ち込めないものを没収されます。ロッカー代は別途かかります。大きい方のロッカーを借りましたが、18ドル。クレジットカードが使えます。全体的にお客さんも少なめで、スライダー系はやりたい時にすべれました。行った日は流れるプールだけがクローズしていてとても残念でした。行った日は営業時間が10:30〜15:00までと短かかったので、ちょっと遊び足りない気がしましたが、とても楽しかったです
I would recommend the sand bar trip to everyone coming to the island, from the minute you step onto the boat,the lovely food,fantastic crew,information and spotting the turtles and rays in the ocean.
My mum as mobility issues and the crew were always on hand to ask and offer help and assistance, Sasha and eggy ( William) I think went up and beyond, especially with photos and handing out snorkels etc.
Both mum and myself said it was the best trip of our holidays.
Keep doing what you are doing you are amazing.
We received amazing service my wife and I! We celebrated our 1 month anniversary being married and Armando took outstanding care of us and we had such an amazing time. At the very end of the night we were pleasantly surprised with the song we played for our first dance on our wedding day, we were invited to dance up front and the servers were so enthusiastic and fun the entire time. 11/10 would recommend to a friend and we will be returning next special occasion!!
I had a great experience seeing sea turtles. The crew's energy was fantastic. The hamburger was also delicious.
Since you can get sunburned a lot, please apply sunscreen generously!
ウミガメが見れてとてもいい体験ができました。船員の方のテンションも最高でした。ハンバーガーも美味しかったです。
日焼けめちゃくちゃするので日焼け止めはめちゃくちゃ塗ってください!
The Star of Honolulu was awesome… what a great time me and my wife had… nice big ship lots of room… and what a show at the end… they do a great job getting us all in position out on the water for the sunset. I would highly recommend this option for a dinner sunset cruise… plenty of helpful staff and dinner service was superb…!!!!
Last year, I signed up for the same tour, but I couldn't find the pickup bus. I was really disappointed, but the team at Veltra handled the follow-up quickly and politely. This year, I decided to give it another try and chose Veltra without hesitation, feeling reassured by their response to last year's mishap. The pickup location had changed from last year, but I was able to meet up with the driver without any issues. Since it was a weekday, the place was relatively quiet, and I was able to enjoy riding the popular slides continuously, having a fantastic day!
昨年、同じこのツアーを申し込みしたのですが、迎えのバスに遭遇できませんでした。ガッカリ落ち込んでいたのですが、ベルトラさんの方で迅速、丁寧に事後処理の対応をして下さいました。今年こそリベンジしようと再申し込みし、昨年の万が一の対応に安心できるベルトラさんを迷わず選びました。ピックアップ場所も昨年から変更されており、無事、迎えの運転手さんと合流。平日という事もあり、比較的空いていて、人気スライダーにも続けて乗るなど、1日中、思いっきり楽しむ事ができました!
Great opportunity to see turtles and fish. Food was good. Staff was super friendly and there was ample parking at the marina. Overall we like it.
기대를 해서 갔는데 완전 대 실망
다 떨어져 나갈 것 같은 버스에 창문이 없어서 먼지가 풀풀 날리고,
영화 촬영지라 해서 영화의 한 장면 흔적이라도 있을꺼라 생각 하고
기대 하고 갔는데, 영화 촬영한 간판 조그만한거 하나 붙여 놓고 여기서
촬영 했다는 설명.. ㅡㅡ^
누가 간다고 한다면 절대 추천 하지 않겠슴
돈 낭비, 시간 낭비 만 한 것 같음.
I received a clear explanation of the history of the Kingdom of Hawaii in Japanese. It was a meet-up at the location, but it was close to the bus stop, and since the area is residential, it was fine. It was my first time doing hula dancing, but they taught it slowly, so I was able to keep up! Making leis was also fun. I highly recommend it!
ハワイ王国の歴史を日本語でわかりやすく説明していただきました。現地集合でしたが、バス停からも近く、周囲は住宅街なので大丈夫でした。フラダンスは初めてでしたが、ゆっくり教えてくださったので、ついていくことができました!レイ作りも楽しかったです。お勧めです!
Since the tour was during high tide, the island didn't appear, just a shallow sea. The guides were kind, but overall, I think the price was high. I don't think I'll try again.
満潮時にツアーだった為島は現れずただの遠浅の海。
ガイドさん達は親切ではあったがトータルしても料金は高いかな?リベンジしようとは思わない。
Although the weather was cloudy with occasional rain and the tide was somewhat high (around 1 meter at the sandbar), I believe it was not the best climatic condition. However, thanks to the cheerful and warm-hearted staff, the captain's performance, and the adorable marine creatures we encountered, we added a wonderful page to our memories of our first trip to Hawaii!
I participated with my wife and our children, aged 4 and 8, and our whole family was able to enjoy the activities with peace of mind from our respective positions.
Thank you very much!
曇天~時折雨天で潮位もやや高く(サンドバーで1m前後?)、決して気候的にはベストコンディションとは言えない状況だったと思いますが、陽気で暖かな心遣い満点のスタッフのみなさん・キャプテンのパフォーマンスやかわいい海の住民たちとの出会いにより、初めてのハワイ旅行の思い出に最高の1ページが加わりました!
妻と4歳・8歳の子供たちと参加しましたが、家族一同それぞれの立場で安心してアクティビティを満喫できました。
ありがとうございました!
Great experience arranged by great people! I Can highly recommend this trip.
Once a year, I travel to Hawaii with my wife to celebrate our wedding anniversary, and we enjoy dinner at Taormina. This year, we had a wonderful time again with delicious food and the staff's warm hospitality. When I mentioned to the staff that it was our 31st wedding anniversary, they surprised us with a dessert plate at the end of dinner, making it a memorable and fantastic dining experience once again. I definitely plan to return to Taormina next year!
一年に一度結婚記念を兼ねて妻とハワイに旅行し、タオルミーナでディナーを楽しんでいます。今年もまた美味しい料理とスタッフさんのホスピタリティーあふれるおもてなしに最高の時間を過ごす事が出来ました。今年で結婚31周年だとスタッフさんにお話したところ、ディナーの最後にサプライズのデザートプレートを出して下さり、今年も思い出深い最高のディナーを楽しむ事が出来ました。また来年も必ずタオルミーナに帰って来ようと思います!
The sliders here are all incredibly enjoyable and fun. This time, a Japanese staff member provided various explanations and assistance, which was very reassuring. You can take one unopened bottle of water per person, so it's more economical to bring your own. Credit cards are accepted within the facility, so you probably don't need to bring cash. I think the locker fees have gone up a bit. During my visit on August 1st, the large locker was $18.
ここのスライダーはどれも最高に気持ち良く、楽しいものばかりです。
今回は、日本の方が、色々と説明してくれ、アシストもしてくれるのでとても心強かったです。
水は、一人一本未開封のボトルが持っていけるので、持って行った方が節約になります。
施設内では、クレジットカードが使えるので、現金は持って行かなくてもいいかと思います。
ロッカー代は、少し値段が上がってると思います。今回8月1日の利用でしたが、大きいロッカーが18ドルでした。
We didn't get to see any turtles but there were lots of fish. Overall we had a good time
It may have been a coincidence, but the Japanese were only among themselves. I was a bit anxious since there were no explanations in Japanese, but I was able to enjoy dolphins and snorkeling in a world without Japanese, which was different from Waikiki, without any major issues.
たまたまかもしれませんが、日本人は自分たちだけ。
日本語の説明は一切ないので不安もありましたが、大きく困ることもなく、ワイキキとは違う日本語のない世界でイルカやシュノーケルを楽しめました。
I visited on a Saturday, and it wasn't crowded, so we were able to enjoy the slides smoothly! My two children, both in the third grade, were very satisfied sliding down the slides. The wind was strong, so it occasionally felt cold, but when we were in the sun, it got quite hot, making it difficult to regulate our body temperature, haha.
土曜日の利用でしたが、混んでおらずすいすいとスライダーを楽しめました!小学生3年の子供2人も、スライダーで滑って大満足です。風が強いので、時折寒く感じることはいつもですが、日当たりにいるとかなり焼けるので体温調整が難しいですw
Aloha Hawaii lovers,
Thank you for your feedback.
Aloha ハワイ好き、
ご意見を頂きありがとうございました。
This is my third time at Wet 'n' Wild Hawaii. Last time, my grandchild was only a year and a half old, so they don't remember it, but this time they are 8 years old and were the first to jump into the pool and have fun! I felt that there were fewer Japanese visitors compared to last time. I could really see how the strong yen is affecting places like this! We talked as a family about how nice it would be to come back again next year while riding the bus home.
今回で3回目のウエット アンド ワイルド ハワイ 前回孫は未だ1歳半だったので覚えていないのですが、今回は8歳になって来たので、誰よりも早くプールに入って楽しんでいました❣️
前回に比べて日本人が少なくなったのを感じました⁉️
こんな場所にも円高が影響しているのを目の当たりに感じました‼️
又来年もこられたら良いのになっと家族で話しながらバスに乗って帰りました
Thank you for your feedback. We look forward to your next visit.
Aloha Mamasan,
ご意見を頂きありがとうございました。
是非又おこしください。お待ち申し上げます。
Review
The cruise was very nice. Sunset was perfect. Prime rib was OK. I was expecting more. The chicken was great! Fish, was ok too. I would do the cruise again. I would upgrade to see if the food was better. Buffet was ok for an.overall rating!
The atmosphere was amazing! Looked very high end and it felt like it. Staff was very friendly and had great service. Super romantic dinner cruise that I highly recommend to any couple looking for a unique Hawai’i experience. Food was really good, not the biggest portions, but still we left satisfied. I will say whatever the dessert was, wasn’t very good. The only negative. It was this fruit flavored cake but it tasted like dish soap. Other than that this is a must!! Beautiful scenery and nice cool breeze with excellent food and live entertainment! We did pay for the middle tier I believe so it was the four course meal with two drink tickets. I think anyone would love this.
If the weather had been better, the color of the sea would have been even more beautiful, which was a bit disappointing, but overall, it was really great! The BBQ hamburgers on the boat were very delicious. There were mostly Westerners, but since the staff were Japanese, I was able to enjoy myself without any problems.
天気さえよければ海の色ももっと綺麗だったのになーと残念でしたが、でも、とてもよかったです!
船上でのBBQハンバーガーはとてもおいしかったです。
9割欧米人でしたが、スタッフさんは日本人でしたので、まったく問題なく楽しめました
The plan included a bus pickup, so there were no particular inconveniences getting to the location. The whales were different from what I had imagined, but I think it was nice to have a wonderful boat trip. The boat felt rockier than I expected. Some people were sitting, but most were on the deck on the third floor watching. They announced when we were likely to see whales, so we could spot them quickly, but most of what we saw were just tails or backs, and we couldn't really see the full picture as I had imagined. However, the weather was nice, and it was a fun boat trip, so I was happy with it.
バスでお迎えに来てくれるプランだったので現地までは特に不自由ありませんでした。
クジラは想像していたのとは違いましたが、素敵な船旅ができたので、まあよかったかなと思います。船内は思ったより揺れていた気がします。座っているひともいましたが、ほとんどは3階とかのデッキで見ていました。クジラが出そうなところをアナウンスしてくれるのですぐ見れるのですが、ほとんどがしっぽだけとか背中だけで、なかなか想像していたような全体像をみることはできませんでした。
でも天気が良く楽しい船旅だったので良かったです。
Thank you very much for joining our cruise. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed whale watching and the views from the ship. We hope to see you again soon. All of our staff are looking forward to your visit.
この度は私共のクルーズにお越し頂き誠に有難うございました。クジラの観測や船からの景色をお楽しみ頂けました様で大変嬉しく思います。是非またお越し下さい。スタッフ一同お待ち申し上げております。
Since my fifth-grade child has exceeded 132 centimeters, we participated as a parent-child duo. In the past, we tried to go by bus, but we couldn't find the bus stop and ended up lost, so this time we applied for a package that includes transportation.
The tour ends at 3 PM, while the park closes at 4 PM, so our stay is only about 4.5 hours, which isn't very long. However, the wait times for the various slides are short, usually around 15 minutes at most, so we can enjoy ourselves. Just be sure to have lunch before it gets crowded, around 11 AM, and avoid long lines to make the most of our time!
小学5年の子供が132センチを超えたので、親子2名で参加。過去に一度Theバスで行こうとしたが、バス停の乗り場降り場が分からすたどり着けなかったので、今回は送迎つきで申し込み。
16時閉園に対して15時終了のツアーで、滞在時間は4時間半程度と長くはありませんが、各種スライダーの待ち時間は長くても15分程度と短いので満喫できます。ただしランチは込み始める前の11時過ぎに済ます、行列の長いものは避ける、など時間を有効に使う必要があります!
Well organized, lots of things to do on the island or you can choose to relax and enjoy the beautiful beach and water.
We enjoyed the sand bar adventure, did some kayaking, played volleyball and ping pong.
Bathrooms are a great touch on this serene setting, they are clean and have AC.
The boat ride and back had wonderful views of the surrounding mountains. Everything was pristine and amazing. The staff were friendly. Highly recommend.
I booked a tour with pickup from a nearby hotel to Hanauma Bay.
For the pickup from the hotel, I communicated to several drivers who seemed to be part of different tours that I was participating in the Hanauma Bay tour and shared my name to find my driver.
The entrance to Hanauma Bay opens at 7 AM, so we waited in line until then. For some reason, one participant from our tour acted as the representative to manage the entrance fee collectively. I wondered what would happen if this person ran away, but they managed to pay without issue.
Although it wasn't us, other tour participants were renting additional life jackets, but the driver said, "It's not on the rental list, so if you pay in cash now, I'll give you the life jackets." Since they couldn't communicate in English, I stepped in to negotiate on their behalf, and reluctantly, the driver handed over the life jackets.
Hanauma Bay was absolutely stunning. Since it was early in the morning, there were fewer people, and we thoroughly enjoyed it.
There is a place to store valuables at Hanauma Bay, so I left cash and other items there, keeping only my phone and the key to the valuables box in a waterproof case around my neck. I left towels on the beach, but they were safe. I think it's better to clean up a bit earlier than the meeting time since there are few showers available.
近くのホテルからハナウマ湾までの送迎付きのツアーを予約しました。
近くのホテルからのピックアップは、何人かのツアーのドライバーらしき人に、ハナウマ湾のツアーに参加している旨と名前を伝えて、ドライバーを見つけました。
ハナウマ湾の入り口が朝7時に開くので、それまで列に並んで待機でした。入園料は何故か、そのツアーの参加者の1名が代表者となり、まとめて管理してました。この人が逃げたらどうするんだと思いましたが、無事払ってくれました。
私達ではありませんが、他のツアー参加者がライフジャケットを追加でレンタルしていたのですが、ドライバーは、"レンタルリストに無いから現金で今払えばライフジャケットを渡す"と言っていました。英語でコミュニケーションできない方々でしたので、代わりに私が間に入って交渉したら渋々ライフジャケットを渡してくれました。
ハナウマ湾は絶景で最高でした。
早朝だったこともあり人も少なく満喫しました。
ハナウマ湾には貴重品を預ける所があるので、現金等は預けて、携帯と貴重品ボックスの鍵だけ防水ケースに入れて首からぶら下げてました。
タオル等は浜に置きっぱなしでしたが、無事でした。
シャワーの数が少ないので、集合時間よりも少し早めに片付けた方が良いと思います。
It was my first time back at Hanauma in about seven years. It was beautiful and fun as always. The person who came to pick me up was also very kind. Unfortunately, the water was cold since it was early in the morning.
約7年ぶりのハナウマでした。やはり綺麗で楽しかったです。迎えに来ていただいたくれた方も親切でした。
朝早かったこともあり、水が冷たかったのが残念。
It's understandable that the bus broke down and the pickup was delayed, but I would have appreciated some communication via email or other means. I was quite worried, thinking that I had made a mistake about the pickup location.
バスが故障して少し迎えが遅れたのは仕方がないですが、メール等で連絡が欲しかった。ピックアップ場所を間違えたと思ってかなり心配しました。
