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。

I chose this season to go on a boat to see whales, but unfortunately, I didn't spot any this time. However, I think it's great that I can try again with my boarding pass during my stay!

クジラを見たいがために、この季節を選び船に乗りましたが、残念ながら今回クジラの姿は見れませんでした。でも、滞在中乗船券でしたら再度挑戦できるので良いと思いました！！

I participated in Dolphin University. Since it was the second trip (meeting at 9 AM), I didn't have to wake up early, and I was in great shape, but the atmosphere on the boat was more intense than I expected (laughs).

Even in August, it can get really cold on the boat, so please bring extra bath towels. A hoodie is a must.

Once you spot a dolphin, you need to jump into the sea immediately and swim hard, or the dolphins will swim away. You'll be kicking with your fins until your legs are sore.

If you're not a strong swimmer, it might be tough unless you train in a pool in Japan first.

My 9-year-old son ran out of energy during his second attempt out of three and rested on the boat for the third try.

On the second trip, there was no lunch on the boat, and we only received a Whopper Jr. from Burger King on the way back. It's delicious, though.

イルカ大学、参加してきました。2便（9時集合）だったので早朝から起きることもなく、体調も万全でしたが、船上は予想以上にスパルタです（笑）。

8月でも船上はホントにガタガタするくらい寒いので、バスタオルは多めに持っていってください。パーカー必須です。

イルカを見つけたら即海へ飛び込み、ガチで泳がないとイルカが遠くへ行ってしまうので、足がパンパンになるまでフィンキックします。

泳ぎの苦手な方は日本のプールでトレーニングしてからじゃないとハードかも。

9歳の息子は3回のトライのうち2回目で体力が尽き、3回目は船上で休んでました。

2便は船上ランチはなく、帰りのバスでバーガーキングのワッパージュニアを配られるだけです。美味しいけどね。

Comfortable, scenic, and fun. The views were great and the crew were very attentive. They went above and beyond for a couple passengers with sea sickness.
Don't worry if you're the last to board and can't find a seat, once you take off everyone is outside and moving around. No wait at the bar or food table. Friendly crew, and they're more than happy to share their knowledge of the islands.
A light jacket or long sleeve shirt might be needed at sunset.
And don't arrive too early since there is a little wait before boarding.
Awesome time!

The sea turtles were adorable. The sea turtles that appeared here and there in the ocean were amazing. My first snorkeling experience was also fun, and I enjoyed the BBQ-style lunch. However, perhaps due to the season, the shallow areas were deeper than I expected, which was a bit disappointing.

The warm drink service after coming out of the sea was comforting, not just in terms of taste, and the staff were friendly, making the overall experience enjoyable.

ウミガメが可愛かったです。
海のあちこちに現れるウミガメが最高でした。
初めてのシュノーケリング体験も楽しく、お昼のBBQ風のランチも楽しめました。
ただ、時期的なものなのか、浅瀬が思ったよりも深く、イメージと少し違っており、残念でした。

海からあがった後の温かい飲み物サービスは、味云々ではなく、ホッとする事ができ、スタッフさんの人柄も良く、全体的に楽しめました。

I participated with three children. They said the wave pool and slides were incredibly fun. It was just a transportation-only tour, but it was sufficient.

子供３人と参加。波のプールとスライダー最高に楽しかったそうです。
送迎のみのツアーでしたが、十分でした。

Had a very good time most def doing it again.... would recommend to do it Hawaii.

Previously, I participated in this tour during my honeymoon and was moved by the sea turtles, so this time I joined with my two children, making it a family of four. At the sandbar, we played volleyball with the staff and other participants, and a Japanese staff member took some wonderful photos for us, which was a lot of fun. The hamburger we had on the boat was as delicious as rumored. Thank you very much!

以前、新婚旅行で参加してウミガメに感動したので、今回子どもを2人連れて家族4人で参加しました。
サンドバーではスタッフの方や他の参加者さんとバレーボールをしたり、日本人スタッフの方にステキな写真を撮ってもらったりして、とても楽しめました。
船の上で食べたハンバーガーも噂通りとても美味しかったです。
ありがとうございました！

You definitely should go to this pool! I was recommended to visit and had a great time. The slides were fun and I didn't have to wait in long lines to enjoy them!

I upgraded to an all-you-can-drink soft drink option on-site, but there was a long line, and it was a struggle to get even one drink. I think I didn't really need the all-you-can-drink option.

このプール絶対行った方がいいよ！っておすすめされて行きました。スライダーはどれもそんなに並ぶことなく滑れて楽しめました！

現地でアップグレードしてソフトドリンク飲み放題を付けましたが、長蛇の列で飲み放題を1杯もらうにも一苦労。飲み放題は要らなかったなと思っています。

Among the approximately 50 participants, we were the only Japanese family of four. We could hardly understand the staff's English announcements, but once we departed, each staff member spoke to us in broken Japanese.

We were swept up in the excitement of the international guests, and it was incredibly fun. Of course, the sunset was beautiful, and the view of Diamond Head from the sea was fantastic.

50人ほどの参加者の中で日本人は、我々の家族4人だけで、スタッフの英語のアナウンスは、ほとんど聞き取れませんでしたが、出発してからは、スタッフそれぞれが、片言の日本語で話掛けてくれました。
海外の方々の盛り上がりに引っ張られ、最高に楽しかった。もちろん日の入りも美しく、海からのダイヤモンドヘッドの景色も最高でした。

The activities were amazing!
The jet ski was thrilling and so much fun!
I gave my all in the following activities too!

アクティビティが最高！
水上バイクがガンガンに飛ばして最高やった！
後のアクティビティも全力でやりきった！

It was truly amazing. We searched for dolphins from the boat, and as soon as we spotted them, we put on our snorkels and dove into the sea! Underwater, there was a large group of dolphins, creating a magical world! After playing a bit with the dolphins, we moved on to the next snorkeling spot… this time, there were three sea turtles! Swimming with the sea turtles was the best moment! Despite a hurricane approaching that day, the visibility was outstanding, and I don't think the conditions could have been better. While the presence of wildlife and sea conditions depend on luck, I feel like we used up all our luck this time because it was just incredible!! In the end, we all did a hula dance together, and it was so much fun! I want to participate again with my family next time.

本当に凄かったです。船上からイルカを探してイルカを発見したらすぐにシュノーケルをつけて海にダイブ！
海の中ではイルカの大群がいて幻想的な世界でした！
イルカの大群の中で少し遊んでからは次のシュノーケルポイントへ…今度はウミガメが3匹も居ました！
ウミガメとも一緒に泳げて最高の一時でした！
当日はハリケーンが来てるという中透明度もバツグンでこれ以上のコンディションは無いのじゃかいかな？というぐらい良かったです。
自然の生き物と海のコンディションは運次第だけど、今回は全ての運を使い果たしたのじゃないかな？というぐらい最高でした！！
最後はフラダンスもみんなでして楽しかったです！
今度は家族と参加したいです。

Mike and his staff we very nice and pleasant to be around as this was mine and my wife's first time snorkeling. The boat ride was comfortable, the sand bar was a fun expreience and was also a nice way to get comfortable using the equipment. Staff was very attentive while we were in the water and made sure everyone was safe. Would recommend this to anyone!

It was our last day in Hawai’i. This hike was the best way to end our 7 day vacation! It was a great bonding time for me and my son! I have a chronic illness so for us to do this hike together is something that we will cherish forever. Walking, talking, and exploring this rainforest was a big hit. Thank you for offering this. Our young man that picked us up was great and helpful!

In the morning, a dedicated bus came to pick us up near the hotel. From there, we traveled by boat to the location where the dolphins were. During the first two attempts, we couldn't see any dolphins, and I was worried about whether we would get to see them, but we were able to see them swimming underwater!

Due to lack of sleep and fatigue, along with the low water temperature, I ended up feeling seasick towards the end, but I’m glad I had this valuable experience.

I think it would be better to prepare some motion sickness medication if possible.

朝は専用バスがホテル近くまで迎えに来てくれました。
そこから船でイルカのいる場所まで移動。最初の二回はイルカは見えず、会えるかどうか不安でしたが無事に水中を泳ぐ姿が見れました！

寝不足と疲労、それから水温が低かった為に最後の方は船酔いしてしまいましたが、貴重な体験ができて良かったです。

酔い止めは出来れば用意した方が良いと思います。

The tour staff were very kind and had great energy! Since a Japanese person was guiding us, I felt very reassured participating! I heard that if you're lucky, you can swim with sea turtles, but unfortunately, that didn't happen for me, which was disappointing. I want to try again next time!! The hamburgers at lunch were also great because they grilled the patties right there, giving it a BBQ feel, and I was very satisfied!

ツアースタッフの方々がとても親切でノリがいい！日本人の方がガイドしてくれたのでとても安心して参加できました！運が良ければウミガメと泳ぐこともできるとのことだったのですが、それは叶わなかったのが残念です。次はリベンジしたい！！昼のハンバーガーもその場でパテを焼いてくれるのでBBQ感覚も味わえてとても満足！

I think there is little time to play on-site. Arriving at 10:30, then applying for a locker and changing until 11:00, followed by a 30-minute meal, and preparing to leave by 14:30 means the actual playtime is about 3 hours. I felt like I didn't really get to enjoy myself much.

Choosing the lunch option was the right decision. If we had purchased food on-site, we would have had to wait in line, which would have reduced our playtime by another hour.

The water slides also had a bit of a wait, so if you want to slide a lot, you need to plan efficiently to feel satisfied. The BBQ lunch buffet had only six items, but the taste was good.

They mentioned unlimited soft drinks, but I ended up not drinking any since I didn't wait in line for lunch. I also wasn't sure which deck chairs I could use. They said they would give us park souvenirs, but looking back, I realize I didn't receive anything.

Honestly, I don't think I'll be going back next time.

　とくかく現地での遊ぶ時間が少ないと思います。
　現地到着10時半、そのあとロッカー申し込んで着替えて11時、その後食事を30分ですませてでまた遊んで14時半には帰りの準備となると、実質の遊び時間は３時間程度。あまり遊んだ気がしなかったと思います。
　ランチ付きにしたのは正解でした。別途現地で購入すると行列に並ぶので更に１時間遊ぶ時間が減るところでした。
　ウォータースライダーも少々並ぶので、たくさん滑りたいならかなり効率を考えないと満足度が得られないかなとおもいます。
BBQランチのビュッフェで、品数は6品と少ないですが、味は良かったです。
　ソフトドリンク飲み放題とのことですが、結局ランチの列に並ぶはずもなく一回も飲みませんでした。デッキチェアーもどれを使っていいのか分からずで。パーク記念品もくれるとありましたが今思えばもらってません。
　正直次回は無いなと思ってます。

I participated in the 11:00 departure plan. Previously, I joined an early morning departure plan where there were many dolphins, but this time I felt there were fewer and more scattered.

Also, I participated with my 10-year-old and 7-year-old children. To see the dolphins, it's quite important to jump into the sea from the boat quickly, but since I had to take care of the kids, I didn't have much time to look under the water. In the end, I only saw the shadows of dolphins a little way off.

The Japanese female guide and the crew on the boat were all fun people, so I was very satisfied with that.

If I were to make a recommendation, it would be: 1) Participate in the earliest tour possible, and 2) Join with adults or older children only.

If you want to show small children the dolphins, I think a dolphin watching tour from the boat without snorkeling would be more enjoyable than a plan that includes snorkeling.

11:00出航プランに参加しました。以前は早朝出航のプランに参加し、イルカがたくさんいましたが、今回はまばらで数が少なかった気がします。

また、今回１０歳と７歳の子供連れで参加しました。イルカを見るためには、スピード勝負で、船から真っ先に海に飛びこむことが結構大切ですが、子供のケアをしなければならないので、海の下を覗いている余裕があまりありませんでした。結局、少しだけ遠くにイルカの魚影が影のように見えただけでした。

ガイドしてくれた日本人の女性や、船のクルーはみんな楽しい人たちばかりなので、そこは非常に満足しています。

おすすめするとすれば、①極力朝一のツアーに参加すること、②大人または大きな子供だけで参加すること、です。

もし、小さな子供にイルカを見せてあげたい！という方は、イルカとシュノーケリングするプランではなく、シュノーケリングはせずに、船の上からイルカウォッチングするツアーの方が、楽しめると思います。

It was an excellent experience! The staff were outstanding and fun

Amazing experience!! The food, service, setting and ambiance is outstanding. Highly recommend and do the 7 course meal, so worth it!!

We had always wanted to visit the Sandbar and snorkel in the Kaneohe area. Captain Bob's made it enjoyable . The crew was pleasant and the food was great. It was a relaxed atmosphere (meaning, not too regulated) so we could pretty much do whatever we wanted. There were lots of turtles and fish. The only drawback was that it was more crowded than I'd imagined it would be. Maybe it would be less busy when the keikis go back to school.

It was a wonderful plan where one child could join for free when participating with three family members, and it included transportation. The park opened at 10:30, and the return bus was at 15:00, so the stay felt a bit short. Since the closing time is much later, I wish we could stay a little longer.

家族3人で参加すると子供1人分が無料で、しかも送迎付きとの嬉しいプランでした。10時半開園で帰りのバスは15時だった為、滞在時間が少し物足りない感じでした。閉園時間はずっと遅いので、もう少し長く滞在出来ればいいのに、と思います。

We took the sunset cruise and enjoyed the meal and going out and watching the sunset on the Ocean in view of diamond head.

We arrived at the sandbar just before noon under cloudy skies, and it was a bit chilly with the wind. At the sandbar, we practiced snorkeling in the shallowest area, which was about knee-deep for adults, as my first-grade grandson was trying it for the first time. After that, we enjoyed watching tropical fish and sea turtles in deeper waters. It was quite a good tour.

曇り空の中、昼前にサンドバーに着いたが、風もあり、肌寒かった。サンドバーでは、一番浅い場所で、大人の膝下位で、初めてのシュノーケリングに1年生の孫が、挑戦するため、練習しました。その後、深い場所で、熱帯魚や海亀を見て楽しみました。なかなか、良いツアーでした。

It was disappointing that the sandbar was underwater. The water clarity was also not great. Our Japanese guide, Yuki, was cheerful and very pleasant. The hamburgers for lunch were delicious, and even the kids enjoyed them.

サンドバーが海の中だったのは、残念でした。
海の中も透明度は、イマイチでした。
日本人ガイドのユキさん、明るくて感じがとても良かったです。
ランチのハンバーガーは、子供も美味しいとたへ゛ていました。

We used this service for our honeymoon. The small boat was packed with about 40 adults and around 5 instructors. No matter how much profit is at stake, that was terrible. I am a diver, and even on boats of similar size, the limit is 10 people.

There was hardly any space to sit, and of course, there were beginners in snorkeling, so when we spotted dolphins, everyone was flailing around in the water, and the dolphins quickly disappeared. It was handled in a way that made it feel like just being lucky to see them once! Therefore, I do not recommend this company for those hoping for a leisurely dolphin swim.

The camera fees were also exorbitant, with still images costing $60 and both still images and videos costing $100, which is shocking. Additionally, although it was optional, there was also a charge for the wetsuit. There was only one photographer for 40 people. When I checked the photos after returning home, despite paying a high price, I only had about 20 photos of myself. I am not satisfied with this.

I believe that if they reduced the capacity to around 20 people and added another photographer, the tour would be much better. I hope for improvements.

I was truly happy to see wild dolphins, even just once. For my next trip to Hawaii, I plan to use a different tour company.

Thank you.

今回ハネムーンで利用しました。
小さな船に大人40人とインストラクター約5人がぎゅうぎゅう詰めでした。
いくら利益の為とはいえ、あれはひどいです。私はダイバーですが、ダイビングでは同じような大きさの船でも10人が限度です。

座るところを探してもないぐらいの押込み具合で、もちろんシュノーケリング初めての方もいらっしゃいますので、イルカを見つけると、海上でバタバタし、イルカもすぐにいなくなりました。一目見れただけでラッキーだね！という捌き方なので、ゆっくりドルフィンスイムを希望の方にはこちらの会社はオススメ致しません。

カメラ撮影も高額で、静止画で60ドル、静止画&動画は100ドルと驚きの価格です。その上任意ですが、ウェットスーツ代も取られます。
カメラマンは40人に対して、1人だけです。帰国後に写真を確認すると、高額を支払ったにもかかわらず、やはり自身の写真は20枚前後です。これには納得がいきません。

定員数を20人程にし、カメラマンをもう一人増やせば、もっとよりよいツアーになると思います。改善されることを希望致します。


野生のイルカを一目でも見ることが出来たのは本当に嬉しかったです。次回のハワイ観光では他のツアー会社を利用しようと思います。

ありがとうございました。

So pleased with the service and experience I had. Our tour guide was on time and shared a lot of interesting facts and information. We got to spend an extra hour at Pearl Harbor because our guide was given our tickets early so he let us take advantage of that which was very nice. The day could not have turned out better than it did, even if we tried.

I joined from Waikiki by bus. The hotel pickup in the morning takes a surprisingly long time because the driver attaches wristbands to each person individually. Food and drinks are not allowed on site, so if you bring them, you have to throw them away. It's a facility that is quite satisfactory for elementary school kids to enjoy the slides!

Waikikiからバスで参加しました。朝のホテルピックアップで運転手さんが一人一人にリストバンドを取り付けるので意外と時間がかかります。現地は食べ物、飲み物の持込み禁止なので、持っていくと捨てなければいけません。
小学生ぐらいがスライダーで遊ぶには十分満足の施設です！

My first time at Kualoa.
I had just seen the latest Jurassic World, so I was super excited about this scene and that scene!
The tour guide was friendly and kind.
However, please don't expect much from the lunch buffet. The taste was shocking, and it made my taste buds tremble.
I hardly ate anything.
Still, I'm glad I participated in this tour!

初めてのクアロア。
最新のジェラシックワールドをみたばかりだったので、あの場面やその場面に大興奮！
ツアーの添乗員さんもフレンドリーで、優しい。
ただ、ランチのビッフェだけは、期待しないてください。衝撃の味で、舌が震えてしまいます。
わたしは、ほとんで食べませんでした。
それでも、このツアーに参加してよかった！
