Oahu
First, we went to the sandbar where we had about an hour of free time, but unfortunately, it was raining and cold, so we couldn't go into the sea. I recommend bringing a jacket just in case.
After that, we moved on to snorkeling for those who wanted to participate, and this is something you should definitely experience. You can see fish and, if you're lucky, get a close look at sea turtles, which is the highlight of this tour. The guide was friendly and kept the atmosphere lively, and we even saw seals while moving on the boat. It was a lot of fun.
まずサンドバーに行きそこで1時間ほど自由時間がありましたがあいにく雨が降っており寒くて海に入っていることが出来ませんでした。念の為上着を持って行くといいと思います。
その後移動して希望者のみシュノーケリングをしますがこちらは体験した方がいいです。魚や運が良ければ間近でウミガメを見る事ができこのツアーの目玉です。ガイドの方も気さくで盛り上げてくれますしボートで移動中にアザラシを見ることができました。とても楽しかったです。
Unlimited drinks and snacks, and since we couldn't see any whales, we were allowed to repeat the experience for free four times. The staff were all kind and it was the best!
ドリンク飲み放題、お菓子食べ放題、クジラ見れなかったため、4回も無料でリピートさせていただきました。スタッフもみんな親切でさいこうです
I wanted to experience walking in the ocean, so I participated. I was a bit hesitant because the tide wasn't ideal on the day I could go, but I enjoyed it thoroughly. I got to see sea turtles, and the weather was great. When in doubt, it's best to participate! The hamburger was delicious too. The staff were friendly and cheerful, and I was very satisfied.
一度、海の中を歩く経験をしてみたく、参加しました。行ける日が今一の潮の引き加減だったので、悩みましたが、十分楽しめました。ウミガメも見れて、お天気にも恵まれ、やはり、悩んだ時は参加するに限ります!
ハンバーガーも美味しかったです。スタッフさん達が綺麗で明るく、とっても満足できました。
It seems like there are unusual weather conditions everywhere, and it was cold even in May. It's usually much hotter.
So, when entering the sea, it was fine to just wear a swimsuit and then dry off and put on a cover-up when getting back on the boat.
I was grateful to have a warm drink after snorkeling; it was a nice way to relax.
どこでも異常気象のようで、5月でも、寒かったです。毎年はもっと暑い。と、おっしゃってました。
なので、海に入るときは水着だけで入り船に上がった時に体をふいて上着を羽織ると大丈夫でした。
シュノーケリングが終わってから温かい飲み物を頂きほっと出来てありがたかったです。
It was my last day at Hawaii and it made a perfect finale for me.
Sand bar and ocean were beautiful, staffs were nice and kind, burger was delicious.
Don't miss it!
I'm going to the sandbar for the first time!
A wide shallow area with a sparkling white coral carpet!
Imagining moments like that, we set sail!
At first, the weather seemed to be nice...
Before I knew it, the weather turned bad from the mountains.
In no time, the sky above the sandbar was covered with dark clouds,
and without any sunlight, we landed on the sandbar anyway!
The water is so cold~~><
It started to rain, and everyone around was hardly enjoying the sandbar,
just waiting inside the boat@@
I can't complain about the weather!
I accepted that we were just unlucky this time.
If there's a chance next time, I want to see a beautiful sandbar!
初めてサンドバーに行く!
広い浅瀬に、白く光るサンゴのじゅうたん!
そんな中で、ハイチーズ!
なんてことをイメージしながらいざ出港!
最初こそ、なんとか天気は良さそうだったのに・・・・
気づけば、あれよあれよと山の方から天気は崩れ。
あっという間に、サンドバー上空も真っ黒な雲に覆われて
日差しもないまま、とりあえずサンドバーに上陸!
水冷たい~~~~><
雨も降ってきたし、周りのみんなもサンドバーを楽しむどころか
船内でほぼ待機状態@@
天気に関しては誰にも文句は言えません!
今回は運が悪かったと、潔く諦めました。
次回チャンスがあれば、きれいなサンドバーを拝みたいです!
I can't say enough about this trip.
It was absolutely amazing, the crew went out of their way to make everyone happy. They even brought me a beer while I was standing on the sandbar, imagine that...
Take this trip, it is worth every dollar!!!
The pick-up for the bus on the way there was significantly later than the scheduled time, which made me very anxious.
I really enjoyed the pool.
I thought the BBQ lunch plan meant we would be grilling meat outside, but it turned out to be a buffet style.
The taste of the meat was very delicious.
This time, Shaka was also operating, and the kids had a great time.
行きのバスのお迎えが予定のピックアップ時間より大幅に過ぎての迎えだったのでとても不安になりました。
プールは、とても楽しめました。
BBQランチプランと書いてあったので、外でお肉を焼いたりするのかと思っていたら、バイキング形式でした。
お肉の味がとてもおいしかったです。
今回はシャカも運営していて子供もすごく楽しめていました。
I wasn't able to see any whales this time, but I didn't have high expectations from the start, so I participated with the mindset of at least seeing dolphins while cruising. I was able to see a pod of dolphins and some turtles, which was just as I expected.
At the end, since I didn't see any whales, the explanation for a re-challenge was in English, and I couldn't understand it. It seems that since this is the last of the season, I won't be able to re-challenge this season. So, I think it means that if I show this ticket next time, I might get a discount? I would like to know the correct information. Also, how should I communicate that I have the ticket for the next time?
時期的にクジラはやっぱり会えなかったんですが、まあ最初から期待はしてなく最悪イルカとクルージングって感じで参加しました。
イルカの群れと亀が会え、思った通りでした。
最後にクジラに会えなかったので、再チャレンジの説明が英語で、わからなかったのですが、どうやら、今シーズン最終なので、今シーズンで再チャレンジができない。よって次回このチケットを見せればディスカウント?みたいなことかなと。正解を教えてほしいです。また次回ってどうやってチケット持ってることを伝えたらいいんでしょうか?
I had a great time watching dolphins and playing with a cheerful crew who spoke Japanese. The blue sea of Hawaii, the clear sky, and the wonderful smiles of the crew—please experience it at least once!
陽気な日本語の話せるクルーとわいわい楽しくイルカを見て楽しく遊べました☺ハワイの海青い空イルカの群れクルーの素敵な笑顔一度体験してしてみてください
I visit every time I come to Oahu. The attractions change according to my children's growth, so every visit brings new enjoyment and never gets boring. Everything in the park, from lockers to shops to lunch, could be paid for with a credit card, so I didn't need any cash at all.
オアフに来るたびに毎回リピしてます。
子供も成長に合わせて楽しめるアトラクションが変化していて、毎回来ても新しい楽しみが感じられ飽きが来ません。
場内はロッカーから売店、ランチまで全てクレジットガードで済んだので現金は一切不要でした。
The cruise was filled with a bright and fun atmosphere, typical of Hawaii, and as we progressed, we received explanations about filming locations from Jurassic Park. I was thrilled to see sea turtles multiple times.
I had never tried snorkeling before and was quite unsure, but I decided to give it a go. The staff kindly checked my gear and equipment, which allowed me to experience it without any anxiety. The underwater world was so enjoyable that I feel like I might become hooked on snorkeling.
It would have been difficult to get there on my own, so using the tour was definitely the right choice.
明るく楽しいガイドさんでハワイらしい雰囲気満点のクルーズ、途中ジュラシックパークの撮影場所の説明なども聞きながら進んでいくと、ウミガメもしっかり何度も現れてくれて感激しました。
シュノーケリングは全くの初めてでかなり自信がなかったのですが、思い切ってチャレンジ。親切に着用の状態や装備の点検をしてくれたので、不安なく体験することができました。水中の世界が楽し過ぎて、これからシュノーケリングにはまりそう。
自力で行くのは大変な場所なので、ツアー利用して正解でした。
I participated in this tour during my first visit to Hawaii. The water was incredibly clear and the emerald green sea was amazing. The guide was very friendly, and I had a great time. It had been over 10 years since I last swam in the ocean, so I was a bit anxious, but the detailed explanations in Japanese made me feel very reassured. There were also many small children participating. This was a tour that I would love to join again when I come back to Hawaii! (﹡´◡`﹡ )
初めてのハワイでこちらのツアーに参加しました。
透明度抜群でエメラルドグリーンの海は最高でした。ガイドさんもとても気さくな方で、楽しく過ごせました。海で泳ぐのは10年以上ぶりだったので、なにかと不安でしたが、日本語で丁寧に説明していただけるのでとても安心です。小さな子供もたくさん参加していました。
次回ハワイにきたときももういちど参加したいと思えるツアーでした(﹡´◡`﹡ )
I felt that Kahala was a better choice than Dolphin Park due to the location and timing, even though it seemed a bit overpriced. The photos turned out well, but I was disappointed when my child said they didn't want to participate again because the water quality was full of algae. I also thought it looked like a muddy pond.
ドルフィンパークより、カハラの方が、場所と時間の都合上良かったので、割高に感じましたが、参加しました。写真はうまくとって頂き、良かったのですが、水質がこけだらけで、次参加したくないと子供から言われて残念でした。私も、泥池に見えました。
I had a good time, but I don't think the dining environment was very good. The main slide is quite hard to climb from the bottom. Children want to go multiple times, so I participated again this time. I apologize for being late due to jet lag, but I connected before departure saying I would be downstairs, and when I got down, they had already left, which surprised me. There was no Japanese support or emergency assistance, so it was quite challenging for the staff at Veltra during this time.
楽しめましたが、食事環境はあまり良いとは思いません。メインの滑り台は下から登るときはなかなかハードです。子どもは何度となく行きたがるので、今回も参加させていただきました。
時差ボケで今回、遅れてしまいご迷惑をおかけしましたが、出発前に下にいますとつながり、すぐおりますといい降りましたら、出発されてしまっていて、
驚きました。日本語対応も緊急用もなくこの時のベルトラさんはなかなか大変でした。
I arrived at 10:30, and before I knew it, it was time to gather at 15:05. It was fun and great. The barbecue had a limited variety, but the chicken and beef grill were seasoned perfectly. I rented a cabana. It also came with a float, a fruit-filled ice box, and mineral water. If you arrive early, there are plenty of palm leaf-style roofs available, so you might not need to rent one.
10:30に到着、15:05の集合時間まで、あっという間。楽しくて、良かったです。バーベキューは種類は少ないが、チキン、ビーフグリルと、味付け最高です。ガバナをかりました。浮き輪とアイスBOX入りフルーツ、ミネラルウオーターもついてました。早めに着けば、ヤシの葉風な屋根も、沢山あるので、借りなくても良いかも?
After 17 years since our honeymoon, we finally went to Hawaii as a family of four with our children. This was my first time participating in such an activity. In contrast to my dislike for boats, my wife and kids seemed to be having a great time. However, we set sail from the location where the scene of escaping from lava due to a volcanic eruption in "Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom" was filmed, which instantly raised my excitement as I had watched Jurassic World in the theater.
The Japanese crew on the boat were very kind and made me feel at ease during the trip. While we were playing in the heavenly sea, they grilled hamburgers on the BBQ grill at the back of the boat. I was curious about what the light meal would be, and it turned out to be hamburgers with patties and vegetables in buns. My kids love them, and they happily devoured them, saying how delicious they were!
After playing at the sandbar, we enjoyed searching for sea turtles, and we could see many from the boat. The kids were excitedly pointing out, "Look, there's one over there!" and "There's another one here!" They had a great time searching for the turtles together. Finally, we enjoyed snorkeling at a spot where lots of fish gather. Unfortunately, my kids were too scared to snorkel, but I made sure to take plenty of pictures of the fish underwater. When I showed the footage to the kids later, they were thrilled, exclaiming, "Wow! Amazing! There are so many!"
Next time, I hope my kids will practice snorkeling so they can join in properly.
新婚旅行以来17年ぶりに子供たちと家族4人で行ったハワイで
初めて参加しました。
船が苦手な私とは対照的に妻と子供は楽しそうにはしゃいでいました。
しかし、ジュラシックワールド”炎の王国”で火山の噴火による溶岩から
恐竜を連れて港から逃げるシーンを撮影した場所からの出航で、
ジュラシックワールドを映画館で見ていた私のテンションも一気に
上がりました。
船には日本人のクルーが親切に対応してくれていて、
安心して参加することが出来ました。
天国の海で私たちが遊んでいる間に船の後方にあるBBQグリルで
ハンバーグを焼いてくれました。
軽食と書いてあったので、何だろう?と思っていたのですが
バンズにハンバーグや野菜を挟んで食べるハンバーガーでした。
子供は大好きなので大はしゃぎでおいしいと言ってペロッと食べていました!
サンドバーで遊んだ後はウミガメ探し船の上からでも何匹も
確認できるほどたくさんいて「ほら、あそこにいるよ~」
とか「こっちにもいるよ~」と兄弟でウミガメ探しを楽しんでいました。
そして、最後に魚がいっぱい集まるというポイントでシュノーケリングを
楽しみました。
残念ながら子供は怖がってシュノーケリングは出来ませんでしたが、
その分親である私が頑張って海の中の魚たちを一杯撮影しました。
後日その映像を子供たちに見せると「すごい!すごい!いっぱいいる~」
といって大変喜んでくれました。
次回子供たちはちゃんとシュノーケリングできるように練習して
参加したいと思います。
Food service was somewhat quick, but understandable and good. Drinks did take some time and got confusing but the wait staff remembered and was very organized. Bartender could have used more help or another bartender to handle the people capacity. Overall great service and wonderful show!
It takes about 40 minutes by car from Waikiki, but since we will be picking up from several hotels, it takes around 90 minutes to reach the park, where we will receive group admission tickets at the entrance. After that, we can enjoy the park, and when it's time, we gather at the exit gate to take the bus back.
There seem to be various options that include meals, but since time is limited, I think it's sufficient to just focus on transportation and admission, and buy fast food inside the park at a time that avoids the lunch peak. (Bringing food and drinks is not allowed.)
距離的にはワイキキから車で40分程度だが、いくつかホテルを回ってピックアップするので、パークまで90分くらいかかり、パークの入り口で団体用の入場券を渡されます。あとはパークで遊んで時間になったらゲートの出口で集合、バスに乗って帰るというところ。
いろいろと食事つきなどのオプションがあるようですが、時間も限られているので、移動と入場だけにして、昼時のピークを外して適当にパーク内でファーストフードを買って食べるのでじゅうぶんだと思います。(飲食物は持ち込み禁止)
Definitely a 5-star, money well spent experience at the premium top deck! From the service, music, accomodations, food to the beautiful sights!
It ended at 3:30 PM since it was a weekday. I thought it might be short before going, but it was sufficient. The overbooking of the bus on the way there was a significant drawback.
平日だったので三時半終了でした。行く前は短いかな?と思いましたが十分です。
行きのバスのオーバーブッキングは大減点です。
This is my second time, and it was absolutely amazing. Whenever I come to Hawaii, I will definitely come to see the Chief Luau show. I also introduced it to my friends, and they said it was fun. This time, I reserved a VIP seat, which made it even better. I look forward to next time!
今回で2回目 最高に面白かった ハワイに来た時は必ずチーフルアーショー見に来ます お友達にも紹介しました 楽しいと言ってました 今回はVIP席に予約して更に良かった 次回もt
The sea was very beautiful, and it was wonderful to see so many fish swimming. Also, the coral was very large, and I was breathless at the sight I saw for the first time.
The BBQ was quite affected by the heavy rain, but the hamburgers were very delicious, and I was able to enjoy it even in the downpour.
海がとても綺麗で、魚がたくさん泳いでいるのが素敵でした。また、珊瑚がとても大きくて初めて見る光景に息を呑みました。
雨がかなりひどかったBBQでしたが、ハンバーガーがとても美味しく、大雨でも楽しめました。
At first, the boat was rocking a lot, and I got seasick, but once we entered the sea, we were able to see wild dolphins and sea turtles, which became a very valuable experience.
Whether you actually encounter them depends on luck, but we were lucky to meet them.
最初は船の揺れがひどく、酔ってしまいましたが、
海に入ってからは、野生のイルカ、ウミガメを見ることができて、とても貴重な経験になりました。
実際に出会えるかは運次第のところもありますが、
自分たちは出会えてラッキーでした。
I had reserved a shuttle service, but after waiting 5 minutes past the scheduled arrival time, I called to confirm and was told they were on their way and to wait. After waiting for another 10 minutes without any sign of them, I informed the staff at the hotel where we were staying, and they made several calls, but in the end, we waited for 40 minutes without the shuttle arriving, so we took a taxi instead. (The taxi fare was refunded.) Once we arrived at the destination, everything went smoothly, and the kids enjoyed themselves. I've heard about shuttle troubles happening abroad, but it was my first experience, so I felt a bit disappointed.
送迎を予約していましたが到着予定時間5分を過ぎても来ないので、電話で確認したところ向かってるから待っててと言われました。
その後10分程待ちましたが、やはり来ないので僕らが宿泊してるホテルのスタッフにも伝え、何度か電話してもらいましたが結局40分待っても来なかった為、タクシーで向かいました。(タクシー代は返金対応しました。)
現地到着後は、特に問題なく子供達も楽しんでいました。
送迎トラブルは海外ではよく聞きますが、はじめてだったので少し残念な気持ちになりましたね。
Our tour guide and bus driver were both very knowledgeable and were easy to understand. We were given ample time at each stop to be able to see sights and take pictures. Lunch was very tasty. This is definitely one tour that I would recommend to friends and family.
Hi Lucinda,
THANKS! for your 5 star review:) Everyone at Oahu Nature Tours is very grateful.
All the Best,
Michael
We participated with two adults and three children in late April. The shuttle bus had strong air conditioning, so long sleeves are a must! The pool was spacious and the wave pool was great! Plus, we could slide down the slides as much as we wanted! The children's pool wasn't just a shallow pool, so they had fun too.
4月下旬に大人2人子供3人で参加しました。送迎バスは少し冷房が強く長袖は必須です!プールは空いていて大きな波のプールも悠々と!それにスライダーも滑り放題!子供のプールもただの浅瀬のプールではなかったから楽しめました。
Since it was the last season in April, I expected it, but unfortunately, we couldn't see any whales. Perhaps feeling sorry for us, we were able to see the spout of a whale during our stopover, although it was quite far away.
4月の参加でシーズン最後だったので、予想はしてましたが、残念なからくじらを見ることはできませんでした。
そんな私たちを哀れに思ったのか、寄港する途中でくじらの潮吹いたところだけ見せてくれました。かなり遠かったけど。
Thank you very much for participating in our cruise. We are very sorry that you were unable to enjoy whale watching this time. Please do come back and try again. All of our staff are looking forward to welcoming you.

In Japan, you can let out your screams without holding back, and it's the best! It's a park where both small children and adults can have fun, and there are staff members everywhere, so you can feel safe both in the park and in the water.
日本では、出しては、いけないギャー の声も隠さず出せて 最高〜!でも小さい子供から大人まで楽しめるparkで至る所で監視員がいるので park内や水の中でも安心。
I had a wonderful time with the lovely guide and staff! I was a bit anxious since I had a child with me, but the sandbar was shallow enough for my 2-year-old to enjoy, and we even got to see sea turtles, which was so exciting! The guide was very considerate, and we were in a great mood the whole time! I was also happy that they actively took photos for us!
Snorkeling was a bit too early for my 2-year-old, so we took turns enjoying it. The food was delicious, and having unlimited drinks was great too.
素敵なガイドさんとスタッフさんで楽しい時間を過ごせました(^^)子供づれだったので不安でしたが、サンドバーは浅瀬で2歳児でも楽しめて海亀も見れて大興奮♫ガイドさんが気遣ってくださり、終始ご機嫌でした!写真も積極的に撮ってくださり嬉しかったです!
シュノーケリングは流石に2歳には早かったので代わり番こに楽しみました。
ご飯も美味しくドリンク飲み放題なのもいいですね。
