Oahu
It was a very good experience. The sea was crystal clear, truly a heavenly ocean. I was able to see sea turtles and colorful fish as well.
とても良い経験になりました。どこまでも透き通った海。正に天国の海でした。ウミガメや色鮮やかなサカナも見れました。
Aloha! This is the Captain Bruce's Paradise of the Sea Tour. The waters of Hawaii are truly beautiful, aren't they? Please come back to visit when you miss this ocean.
アロハ!キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーです。ハワイの海は本当に美しいですよね〜。またこの海が恋しくなったら遊びにいらして下さいね。
This was amazing to see! Highly recommended. It was touching to see and learn about.
We participated as a family of four. I joined 20 years ago and saw sea turtles and beautiful fish in their natural environment, so I wanted to show my children. However, the biggest point is that I didn't realize, since I didn't have kids last time, that the transfer boat to the submarine caused quite a bit of seasickness. It wasn't just us; many other participants were affected, and some adults were even down for the count. While the waves were a bit rough, the real issue seemed to be that we had to wait for about 15 minutes on a rocking boat while picking up people who had been on the submarine. The submarine itself doesn't rock at all.
The guide suggested taking motion sickness medication, but that doesn't help once you're on board. I think it would be better to clearly state in advance that "motion sickness medication is essential" for those who are prone to it. However, they might avoid mentioning this beforehand to maintain a good image.
Additionally, due to the deterioration of the natural environment in recent years, the beautiful coral reefs that were present 20 years ago have significantly decreased, and sea turtles are now rarely seen. The water is often murky (this is all based on what the guide said, so it's not just my impression). It seems that the views may not meet expectations anymore (this is my interpretation).
This tour has been popular for many years, but it might be reaching a transitional period. However, the staff and guides were very friendly.
One more point: when I made the reservation through Veltra, the voucher I received stated "this is not required to bring," but during the boarding process, they asked for proof of the reservation. I was glad I had printed it out just in case.
家族4人で参加しました。私は20年前に参加し、ウミガメや美しい魚が自然の環境で見られたので、子供たちにも見せようと思って参加したのですが・・。
まず最大のポイントは、前回は子供がいなかったので分からなかったのですが、潜水艦乗船までの間の乗り継ぎの船で、かなり船酔いしてしまうということ。我が家だけでなく、他の参加者にもかなり見られたし、中には大人でダウンしている人もいました。確かに少し波は粗いのですが、プレミアムと一般のツアーの乗船場所を回って行く点と、前の回に潜水艦に乗っていた人を帰りのためにピックアップするので、その間15分くらい、揺れる船の上で静止したまま待たないといけないのが辛かったようです。潜水艦自体は全く揺れません。
ガイドの人は酔い止めの薬を飲むよう呼びかけてはいますが、乗船後では何の役にも立ちません。船に弱い人のために、もっと強く事前に「酔い止め必携」を明記した方がいいと思います。ただこれを事前に出すとイメージが悪いので出さないのかもしれないですが・・・。
あと、近年は自然環境の悪化で、20年前はキレイだったサンゴ礁がかなり減り、またウミガメも減ってめったに見られなくなっている上に、海水が濁ることも多い(これらはすべてガイドさんが言っていたことなので、私の印象や創作ではありません)そうで、期待通りの眺望が得られなくなっていることも多いようです(ここは私の解釈)。
長年人気のツアーですが、そろそろ過渡期を迎えているのかもしれないですね。ただ、スタッフ、ガイドさんはとてもフレンドリーでした。
もう1点、ヴェルトラさんで予約をした際に返信されたきたバウチャーには「これは持参不要」とありましたが、乗船手続きの際には予約を取った証拠の提出を求められました。念のためプリントアウトしたものを持っていっておいてよかったです。
Thank you very much for participating in the Atlantis Submarine Tour.
I understand that you were hoping for your child to have the same experience, and it must have been disappointing that the views and services did not meet your expectations.
Regarding the boat transfer to the submarine that you mentioned, you are correct that it takes about 15 minutes, and I apologize for not providing this information on the tour page. To prevent similar inconveniences, we have promptly updated the tour page. We have also included information about seasickness on the voucher, so I would appreciate it if you could check that in advance.
As for the voucher, some guests do bring it with them, so we confirm it on the day of the tour, but please rest assured that you can participate by simply confirming the name used for the booking and the number of participants.
Thank you very much for your valuable feedback despite your busy schedule.

I had a very fun experience with a Japanese lady and some joke-loving gentlemen who provided explanations during the tour!
They indicated the direction of the turtles based on the clock, with the front of the boat being 12 o'clock. But sometimes they would tell little lies (laughs) like "Dolphins at 5 o'clock! Whales at 3 o'clock! Just kidding!"
I'm not sure if it was just that day, but they appeared in large numbers all around.
After a bit of movement, we enjoyed snorkeling for the first time at the sandbar, surrounded by lots of fish and coral reefs. The light meal afterward was simple, yet it tasted incredibly delicious!
I highly recommend it.
とっても楽しい日本人お姉さま(&ジョーク好きなオジサマ達)が説明添乗していただけました!
船の前方方向が12時として、時間でカメのいる方角を教えてくれます。
でも時々ウソつきます(笑)イルカ5時!クジラ3時!ウソ!とか。
この日だけなのか分かりませんが、アッチコッチに大量に現れてくれました。
そして少し移動してサンドバーでは初体験のシュノーケリングを大量のお魚さんたちとサンゴ礁と楽しみました。そのあとの軽食は簡単なものなのにとてもとても美味しく感じました!
おすすめです。
The crew was kind and cheerful while working, which made for a pleasant experience. I was able to see a dolphin for a little while, and I also saw a sea turtle. It was tough because the snorkeling mask didn't fit well, and seawater kept getting in. That didn't happen during a different activity the day before. Also, no one received an eco bag.
クルーが優しく楽しげに仕事をしていて
気持ちよく楽しめました。
イルカは少しだけ見れたし、海亀も見れ
ました。
シュノーケリングのマスクが合わないのか
海水が入ってきてしんどかった。
前日の別のアクティビティではそんなこと
がなかったのに。
あと、誰もエコbagもらえませんでした。
We were thrilled to see sea turtles swimming close by, which made the children very happy. The sandbar was incredibly beautiful and left us in awe. The surrounding mountains and the sea were stunning!
It's said that snorkeling is optional, but we decided to give it a try. However, since there were a lot of people, I think the water clarity is better in Okinawa.
It was a great experience for the kids! The staff were very welcoming, and we had a wonderful time on the boat!
ウミガメが間近にプカプカと泳いでいて子供がとても喜びました
サンドバーはとても綺麗で感動しました。周りの山に海とても生えて綺麗でした!
シュノーケリングはしてもしなくても良いとの事ですがせっかくなので行いましたが、たくさんの人数で行うので海の透明度は沖縄の方があると思います!
子供にはいい体験でした!
スタッフの方々がとてもアットホームで船の上も楽しく過ごすことができました!
An 8-year-old was able to handle everything, including the foot push. It was fun.
Note: You can't use a credit card unless you have a photo ID or a passport with you.
8歳児でもフットプッシュ他、すべてこなせました。
楽しかったです。
注意:クレジットカードは写真付きでないとパスポート携帯してないと使えませんよ。
Loved the view we had as the captain brought us closer to Diamondhead! Got to see honus and had tons of fun! Definitely recommend! :)
It was as good as I expected. The waves and wind were calm on the day, but there were a few people who got seasick, so motion sickness medication is a must. For lunch, it was not BBQ but a cheese bar. (The bread had taro in it.)
予想していたぐらいの良さです。当日は波も風も穏やかでしたが、船で寄っている人が何人かいたので、酔い止めは必需品です。お昼はBBQではなくチーズバーがです。(パンはタロイモが入っていた)
We gathered in front of the designated hotel at 9 AM and took a bus. We went with a BBQ plan. Each tube had its own designated float, but many people ended up having to line up again because it wasn't strictly enforced, so be careful. You can tell which float is which by looking around.
There are about six different types of tubes, but they were split into two groups, and you have to use the designated float. However, there were no prior instructions, which made it a bit confusing. Many people were lining up again, and there wasn't much effort to communicate properly. Well, this is America, after all (laughs). The lack of motivation from the staff is something that would be unthinkable in Japan, but if you accept that this is America, you can enjoy it a lot (laughs).
The BBQ lunch buffet was not what I expected; I thought we would be able to BBQ ourselves, but it was more of a "buffet style where you can freely take the BBQ ingredients." Well, as long as it's tasty, that's what matters (laughs). The ingredients were decent, and I enjoyed them reasonably well. If you're a light eater, there are also regular places where you can just line up and buy food, so that might be a good option too. The all-you-can-drink option also required lining up, so I only used it once.
We gathered at 3 PM and took the bus back. The short duration of the stay was a downside, but I enjoyed the experience itself.
朝の9時に指定されたホテル前に集合してバスで行く。BBQ付きプランで行った。各チューブでそれぞれ専用のウキワを使うのだが、徹底してなくて並び直す羽目になる人が結構いたので要注意。周りを見ればどのウキワなのかがわかる。
いろんなパターンのチューブが6種類くらいあるが、2手に分かれていたりして、指定のウキワを使わなけりゃいけないのですが、事前の説明書きなどが無くてややこしい。
並び直す人が結構いて、ちゃんと伝える努力ってものがないですねー。まぁ、ここはアメリカですからねぇ(笑) バイトの兄ちゃんのやる気のなさなど日本ではありえない運営体制ですが、アメリカなんで致し方ないと達観すれば大いに楽しめるでしょう(爆)
BBQランチ食べ放題は、BBQできるのかと思いきや・・・「BBQされてる食材をビュッフェ形式で自由に取る」って形態のものでした。まぁ美味しく食べられればそれでいいんですけど(笑)まぁまぁな食材があり、まぁまぁ普通においしくいただきました。小食の方ならこのプランでなくても、普通に並んで購入するところもありますのでそちらでもよろしいかと。ドリンク飲み放題もいちいちならばにゃいかんので1回しか使わなかった。
15時集合でバスに乗って帰った。滞在時間が少なすぎるのが難点だが、内容そのものは楽しめましたよ。
My wife went separately, so I took my two sons (15 and 10 years old) with me. Having previously visited Adventure Cove in Singapore, Waterbom in Bali, and domestic spots like Shibamasa World and Nagashima Resort, I can't help but compare. The atmosphere here has a tropical vibe, and Waterbom is definitely the best (followed by Adventure Cove). The food is also better at Waterbom (I only know a place called Thaitalian, but it's definitely delicious). The water slides are best at Adventure Cove. I remember queuing multiple times for the incredible slide called the Riptide Rocket (please check the website for details). I think it's the same one that recently made its debut in Japan at NESTA Kobe! So, while the slides at Wet 'n' Wild felt pretty standard, the speed and lateral G-forces provided a thrill, and the kids tried them multiple times. The wave pool had some seriously intense waves that could almost make you feel like you were drowning if you weren't careful, which was a lot of fun. I think the kids were satisfied, but if the price is the same, I might not choose this place again.
妻は別行動のため、息子たち2人(15歳と10歳)で行ってきました。
過去にシンガポールのアドベンチャーコーブ、バリのウォーターボム、国内なら芝政、ナガシマリゾートなどで遊んだことがあるので比較してしまいますが、雰囲気は南国っぽい感じで断然ウォーターボム(次にアドベンチャーコーブ)、食事もウォーターボム(確実にうまいです。Thaitalianという店しか知りませんが)、ウォータースライダーはアドベンチャーコーブですね。リップタイドロケットという物凄い(詳細はホームページをご参照ください)スライダーに何回も並んで乗ったのが記憶にあります。最近ネスタ神戸に日本初上陸!と宣伝しているあれだと思います。ですので、ウェットアンドワイルドのスライダーは普通っちゃ普通な感じですが、スピード感と横Gはスリルがあり子供たちは何回もトライしていました。あと波の出るプールの波が油断するとおぼれそうな半端ない激しい波で楽しめました。
子供たちは満足していたので良かったと思いますが、同じ料金なら次はないかも・・です。
We gathered and departed before 6 AM, and the early start was a bit tough. Shortly after setting sail, we spotted a pod of dolphins and began snorkeling. Due to the busy season, there were many participants, and I was the last to enter the water, so I couldn't see any dolphins. Those who went in first were able to see dolphins swimming right in front of them. It seems that to see the moving dolphins, you really need to go early.
After that, we moved to see turtles, as there are rocky areas where they reside. As expected, since they live among the rocks, we were able to see three turtles swimming slowly around the area. One of them came up right in front of me, probably for air, which was surprising. It was within reach. This was great and I think it became a wonderful memory.
朝の6時前に集合して出発、早いのが少し辛い。
出港早々、イルカの群れを発見しシュノーケル開始。
繁忙期の為、参加者が多く、私は最後に海に入るもイルカは見られず。先頭で入った方々は目の前を泳ぐイルカを見れたとの事。やはり移動して行くイルカを見るには早めに行かないと厳しいみたい。
その後はカメを見に移動、こちらはカメが住み着いている岩場があるという事。流石に岩場に住み着いているという事なので、カメが3頭ゆっくりと岩の周りが泳いでいるのが見れました。
その内の1頭が息継ぎの為か目の前まで上がって来てビックリ。もう手の届く距離でした。
これは良いけど想い出になったと思います。
ALOHA! Koji,
Thank you for participating in Dolphin University this time. Swimming with wild dolphins can be challenging, but it seems you were able to swim very closely with the turtles that swim slowly♪
Please do join us again when you come to Hawaii. All of our staff are looking forward to welcoming you!
MAHALO!

野生のイルカと泳ぐことは難しいですが、ゆっくりと泳いでくれるカメとはとても近くで泳いで頂いたようですね♪
また、ハワイへお越しの際はぜひご参加くださいませ。
スタッフ一同心よりお待ちしております!

I wanted to do hula, so my 8-year-old daughter and I participated. Since there were two of us, the tour was held.
On the day of the tour, it was just the two of us, which felt like a private experience—very luxurious!
The Japanese staff at the Bishop Museum kindly guided us around both inside and outside the museum.
Since both my daughter and I practice hula, we had discussions related to hula, which were very educational!
I thought it was a tour that would be very beneficial for anyone who does hula.
Of course, we also learned a hula song. Although the kumu hula was absent, the substitute teacher, who was a man, was very kind and friendly, making it enjoyable to learn hula.
Our 5-year-old son also practices hula, but he couldn't participate since he is under 8.
It was a tour that made me want to let my son join as well.
フラをさせたくて
8歳の娘と私で参加しました。

思ったツアーでした。
The shuttle service was smooth, and there were various slides that were fun. I was satisfied with the types of slides that are not available in Japan. It was disappointing that outside food and drinks were not allowed.
送迎からスムーズでスライダーも色々あり楽しかったです。日本には無いタイプのスライダーに満足です。持ち込みの飲食が禁止なところが残念でした。
The entry straps are distributed in advance, so it was great to be able to save time and just enter. The kids were really happy. The only downside was that the return time was a bit too early (15:15).
入場のストラップも事前に配られるので、後は入場するのみで時間短縮出来て良かった。
子どももすごく喜んでました。
帰りの時間が少し早すぎるので(15:15)、そこだけが残念だった。
I was able to interact directly with dolphins, and it was truly healing for my heart! It felt like the dolphins helped me treat my daily stress and worries. (o^^o)
直にイルカと触れ合い心が癒されました!
日頃のストレスや悩みをイルカに治療してもらえた感じでした(o^^o)
Wet'n'Wild for three consecutive years was consistently fun! My son finally exceeded 120 cm, so there were more slides he could enjoy, and we had a great time. Since we had a rental car, we opted for the plan without transportation. It was a fun day!
3年連続のWet'nWild
安定の楽しさでしたー。息子もやっと120cmを超えて乗れるスライダーが増え、色々楽しめました。
レンタカーだったので送迎無しプランで。
楽しい1日でしたw
This was the best tour I've ever experienced! We were picked up at 11:40, which allowed us to schedule activities in the morning as well. Along the way, Leonard took us to buy malasadas before heading to the sandbar.
There were about 20-30 people on two boats, and Leonard distributed snacks while we moved offshore. When we arrived at the sandbar, even though it was offshore, the shallow areas were about knee-deep, allowing us to walk on the sandy bottom. We wandered around the sandbar, took photos, and the view was amazing with the ocean all around us.
After borrowing snorkeling gear and seeing the fish in deeper waters, we returned to the boat. Once we filled up with the buffet, we had free time, and two sea turtles appeared, allowing us to swim alongside them! While it's illegal to touch them, it was an incredible experience to see and swim so close. After that, we borrowed floaties and paddleboards to play around, and we arrived back at the hotel around 5 PM.
The staff were Japanese, so everything went smoothly without any issues.
If there was a downside, it might be that some people get seasick. Overall, it was the best tour in terms of timing and content.
今まで経験したツアーで1番良かったです!
11:40ピックアップで午前中も予定入れられました。途中でレナードによってマラサダを買いサンドバーへ。
20-30人で二艘の船に乗り、途中でレナードを配ってくれて食べつつ沖合へ移動します。
サンドバーに着くと沖合なのに浅いところは膝上くらい?で砂地を歩けました。
サンドバーをウロウロして写真を撮って景色も一面海で最高でした。
海の深いところでシュノーケリングを借りて魚を見た後船に戻ります。
バイキングでお腹が膨れたら自由時間ですが、ウミガメが2匹も現れて一緒に泳ぐことができました!法律で触れませんが、こんな近くで見れて泳げて最高の体験でした。その後浮輪やパドルサーフィンを借りて遊んで5時ごろホテルに到着。
スタッフも日本人で何も問題なく過ごせました。
問題あるとしたら船酔いする人もいることくらいでしょうか。
時間的にも内容も最高のツアーでした。
Aloha! Thank you very much for participating in the Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour. We are truly honored to receive such feedback: "This was the best tour I have ever experienced!" We all look forward to welcoming you back again.
アロハ!キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーです。この度はご参加いただき誠にありがとうございました。『今まで経験したツアーで1番良かったです!』このようなお言葉をいただき、大変光栄に思います。またのお越しをスタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げております。
It seems that the tides vary by day, and on the day of my visit, the sandbar was not fully exposed. It's a pity. Initially, the shallow sea and sandbar offered an hour and a half of free time, but I ended up walking endlessly with nothing to do. The lunch hamburger was quite delicious. During the snorkeling in the afternoon, I unexpectedly encountered a sea turtle. I was lucky.
日によって満ち引きの違いがあるみたいで、当日はサンドバーが完璧に出てませんでした。
残念。
最初遠浅の海、サンドバーですが、に1時間半の自由時間、する事がなく延々歩きました。
ランチハンバーガーは、かなり美味しいです。
昼からのシュノーケリングで、偶然ウミガメに遭遇。
ラッキーでした。
At first, I thought the pickup time was too early, but since I arrived early, I was guided to a table with a view of the fireworks. The food was just okay. The fireworks started late, and I had to wait quite a bit, but the view was fantastic, and I was satisfied.
最初は、ピックアップ時間が早過ぎると思ってましたが、早く着いたため、花火が見える方のテーブルを案内してもらいました。
食べ物は、まぁ〜そんな感じかなって。
花火が上がる時間が遅く、かなり待ちましたが、最高の眺めで満足です。
The sandbar had clear and beautiful water.
As expected, the sightseeing in Japan was enjoyable.
The pickup arrived on time.
サンドバーは水が澄んでいてとてもきれいでした。
やはり日本語の観光は楽でした。
時間通りに迎えも来ました。
We participated in this cruise as the start of my cousin's bachelor party and boy what a great way to start it out! The catamaran was so cool, there was plenty of room for everyone, the staff was helpful and very friendly, and the views were breathtaking. We even saw a sea turtle at the end! The staff made it so fun and made some pretty good drinks to boot. The appetizers were not great, but that is not why we were on the cruise. It was a relaxing and easy cruise right off the pier and around Diamond Head. The sunset views were beautiful. I would highly recommend taking a sunset Waikiki Sail on the Spirit of Aloha.
I had high expectations, so I was a bit disappointed with the service. I arrived 40 minutes before opening time and had to wait in the blazing sun until the park opened. There were very few shaded areas near the entrance, making it quite tough for small children.
I had made a reservation for a cabana in advance, but the staff initially said there was no reservation. Since it wasn't booked, the person at the reception left their post. After showing the reservation form and negotiating through the wasted time, they finally prepared the cabana for us.
On the positive side, the staff were Japanese, and it was great that each cabana had a dedicated staff member who took drink and food orders without us having to wait. They were very kind!
期待も大きかったので少しサービス面で残念な面がありました。
開園時間よりも40分前に到着しましたが炎天下の中で開園まで待ちぼうけ、入り口付近には屋根が少なく日陰も少ないので小さいお子さんはかなり辛そうでした。
事前にガバナを予約していきましたが現地で予約されていないという対応からはじまり、予約されていないため受付の子が席をはずしてしまいました。その後予約表を見せながら無駄時間と交渉後ようやく用意がされました。
良い点は日本の方でしたがガバナごとに担当者がついて飲み物、食事を待たずに注文できたのは良いですね!とても親切でした!
I struggled a bit with using the fins, and at 65 years old, it was challenging, but it was amazing to see everything twice. The event was changed due to the weather, but I got to see sea turtles twice, and I had a fun day. The female staff and the captain were friendly and great.
足ヒレの使い方が上手く出来なく、65才の私にはハードでしたが2度も見れて最高でした。
天候の状況でイベントが変更になりましたが、海ガメにも2度も会えたし、楽しい1日を過ごせました。
スタッフの女性や船長もフレンドリーで最高でした。
ALOHA!! Thank you for participating in Dolphin University! We are glad to hear that you had a fun time. We look forward to your next participation. MAHALO!!
ALOHA!! この度はイルカ大学にご参加いただきありがとうございました! 楽しいお時間になったようで幸いです。またのご参加をお待ちしております。MAHALO!!
There are Japanese staff members, but the basic staff members are English speakers, so if you don't understand English, you might feel left out. I thought it might have been better to have more university-related staff.
When boarding the boat, it's better to sit in the open back so you can participate in various activities and enjoy yourself.
I applied for photos, but you won't get photographed unless you actively ask for it. During the time to enjoy activities, make sure to go and say, "Please take my picture!"
Many people were feeling seasick. It was nice weather, though. The motion sickness wristbands I bought on the pickup bus were expensive, but I believe they helped my daughters and me not to get sick! Our family usually has a weak constitution.
日本人のスタッフの方もいますが、基本英語のスタッフの方々が楽しい会話をしていますので、英語がわからないと置いてけぼり感を感じます。
大学さん系の方が良かったかなーと思いました。
船に乗るときは屋根のない後方に座ったほうが色々と参加できて楽しめます。
写真を申し込みましたが、積極的にアピールしに行かないと写してもらえません。
アクテビティを楽しむ時間には「写して〜」とアピールしに行きましょう。
かなりの方が船酔いしていました。
良いお天気だったのですが。
ピックアップのバスの中で買った酔い止めのリストバンド、高いですが、我が家の娘達&私が酔わなかったのはこれのおかげだと思います‼︎普段弱い家族なので。
It was my first time participating, and since it was my first tour to see wild dolphins, I had a great time. However, the content was a bit hard for small children, and I felt it was a little dangerous with too many participants, as fins occasionally hit my face.
初めての参加でしたが、野生のイルカに会えるツアーは初めてだったので楽しかったです。
小さい子供にはちょっとハードな内容だったのと、
参加者母数が少々多く、フィンが顔に当たるなどちょっと危険かなと感じました。
ALOHA! Ururu-sama,
Thank you for participating in the Dolphin University this time. Since it’s a tour with wild dolphins, there may be days when you have to swim quite a bit depending on the dolphins' mood. However, I'm glad to hear that your children enjoyed it!
Please do join us again when you come back to Hawaii. All of our staff are looking forward to welcoming you.
MAHALO!

There is a similar water park in Tokyo, but we went there at the request of the kids. As expected, the slides were extremely crowded, and it didn't feel enjoyable at all. I don't think we'll go there on our next trip.
東京にも同様のウォーターパークがありますが、子供の希望により行きました。ある程度予測できたことですが、スライダー類はとにかく混んでいて、楽しいという感じではありませんでした。次回の旅行では、まず行かないと思います。
It's great to have guidance in Japanese, and the Hawaiian jokes are fun too. We drove around the jungle in a speeding Jeep and visited plants at a farm and ranch. In the afternoon, my younger child suddenly needed to go to the bathroom, which made us late for the movie tour, and the bus we had reserved left without us. However, the ticket center quickly arranged for the next bus. We were super excited at the entrance to Jurassic Park. The facilities are very accommodating, which is reassuring. The program is friendly for families with children. However, the early morning is a bit tough. With a 7:10 AM pickup, I had to wake up at least by 6 AM. Since breakfast was at 7, I gave up and woke up at 5:30 to make porridge in the hotel kitchen. If the program could be adjusted, it would be nice to have a menu with one in the morning and two in the afternoon.
日本語で案内してもらえるのと、ハワイアンジョーク?がまた楽しい。疾走するジープでジャングルをまわったり、農園や牧場で植物を見学したり。午後、下の子が急にトイレに行きたがって、映画ツアーの時間に遅れてしまい、予約してたバスは行ってしまったんですが、チケットセンターですぐ次のバスを手配してくれました。ジュラシックパークの入り口?セットに大興奮。施設内は、至れり尽くせりで、安心ですね。子供連れにはやさしいプログラムです。ただし、朝早いのがちょっとしんどい。7時10分ピックアップだと、朝は最低でも6時起床です。朝食が7時からだったので、諦めて、私だけ5時半に起きてホテルのキッチンで雑炊作りました。プログラムを調整できるんだったら、朝一つ、午後二つ、とかのメニューがあっても良いのでは。
Tropical fish gather around the coral, and when you offer them food, they take it from your hand. However, my 10-year-old son seemed to find it more interesting to catch sea slugs. The hamburger was delicious with a nice grilled aroma, the best! My 4-year-old son was thrilled to float around happily in his life jacket.
サンゴのそばに熱帯魚が群れて、もらった餌で寄せると手から取っていきます。でも、10歳の息子はウミウシをつかむ方が面白かった様です。ハンバーガー、直火が香ばしくて、最高!4歳のむすこは、ライフジャケットでプカプカ浮かんで大喜びでした。
Take the earliest shuttle (6:00 a.m. from your hotel) to avoid beach crowd and avoid the park fee (if you get there before 7:00 -- no additional park fee!).
Driver was courteous, informative and fun. Equipment was in great condition, and you can expand on what you get (which is basics, but enough) for very little cost.
Had about 2.5 hours of snorkeling fun.
