Oahu
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。
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

Again, thank you for coming to our luau....we know you could have chosen to do anything else, but you came to visit us!
Sincerely,
Paulette W

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。
I enjoyed this event very much because of the beautiful view and interesting stories about the stars. At about 8 to 8:30 pm, the sky was getting darker and darker. I was able to many stars in the sky with my naked eyes. However, if your eyesight is not very good, I recommend you bring your glasses or wear contacts. I was able to see the cluster of stars, Saturn, Jupiter, Mars and more through the telescope. I really liked it, especially because it is such a rare opportunity to observe the stars through telescopes.
Mahalo and Aloha. Keep reaching for the stars!!
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!!
