Oahu
I visit every time I go to Hawaii! It's a water theme park that can be enjoyed by all generations, from when my sons were little to now that they are grown. In the morning, we enjoyed various attractions like slides, but in the afternoon, we got hooked on the attraction where you ride on a board with artificial waves. It was an optional feature, but that day there was a $5 campaign for unlimited rides. We had a great time and will definitely participate again next time!
毎回ハワイに行ったときは行っています!息子たちが小さい時から今はもう大きいですがどの世代にも楽しめるウオーターテーマパークです!
午前中はいろんなスライダーなどのアトラクションで楽しみましたが午後は人工の波でボードに乗るアトラクションにはまりました。オプションですがこの日は5ドルのキャンペーンで乗り放題。かなり楽しめました。また次回も参加します!
Aloha Rachel,
Thank you for your valuable feedback.

We participate as a family every time. You can go by The Bus or rent a car, but the shuttle service is convenient. There are thrilling attractions as well as activities for small children, so people of all ages can enjoy it.
毎回、家族で参加しています。ザ・バスやれんたかーでも行くことはできますが送迎付きが便利です。激しいアトラクションもあり小さいお子さん向けの遊びもありでどの世代でも楽しめますよ。

This was my fourth trip to Hawaii, and I finally visited Wet 'n' Wild Hawaii, which I had been curious about for a long time. I thought it would just be a pool in Hawaii, but it turned out to be a lot of fun for adults as well. Since it was December, it was a bit chilly, but I managed to enjoy all the attractions. The wind was cold, but the sun was strong since it was outdoors. There are many attractions that you can't experience in Japan, and I opted for the all-you-can-drink option, which allowed me to enjoy the attractions for most of the time. I would love to go again. The lockers have a Japanese version, and it's easy to use by entering a PIN. Once you set up the locker, you can access it multiple times. We used one large locker for two adults, and it was more than enough. The changing rooms and restrooms were well-maintained, so I felt comfortable using the facilities without any worries. There seem to be discount coupons available on-site, but I recommend using this service with transportation included for peace of mind.
今回で4回目のハワイにしてずっと気になっていたのですが初めてウェットアンドワイルドハワイに行ってみました。ハワイでプールと思ってましたが予想以上にとても大人も楽しむことが出来ました。12月だったのでさすがにチョット寒かったですが全種類のアトラクションを制覇することが出来ました。風は寒いのですがやはり屋外のため日差しは強かったです 日本ではあまり体験出来ないアトラクションが多くドリンク飲み放題付にしていたのですが時間までほとんどアトラクションをたのしんでました またいきたいと思います。ロッカーも日本語版があり暗証番号を入力して簡単に利用できます 一度ロッカー設定した後は何度も出し入れが可能です。大人二人で利用させていただいたのですが大サイズのロッカー1つで大人二人分十分利用でき来ました。更衣室もトイレもちゃんとしてるので設備のめんでは心配なく安心して利用することが出来ました。現地で割引クーポンもあるようですが送迎付きで安心なのでこちらの利用をぜひお勧めします
Aloha,
Thank you for your valuable feedback.
We look forward to your next visit.

又のお越しをお待ち申し上げます。
I participated in the sandbar this time!
To put it simply, I was very moved!
Experiencing nature up close is truly beautiful!
Standing in the middle of the ocean was a very precious experience!
Just being on the beach is beautiful, but with the clear sea and the sparkling blue sky, standing in the middle of the ocean made both the sky and sea feel vast, and the clouds felt really close!
There was also a Japanese guide, and some people were so good at swimming that it gave me a sense of security.
The bus guide on the way was very cheerful and made us laugh, which was entertaining.
The Japanese female guide on the boat also made us laugh and took commemorative photos for us.
The bus guide sang "Last Christmas" while playing the guitar on the neighboring boat, and listening to the music while eating freshly made hamburgers in the middle of the vast ocean was the best!!
If there are extras, you can also get double burgers or refills.
We even got to see a sea turtle swimming by, and my husband really enjoyed snorkeling!
It’s said that you can see an astonishing number of fish and coral! I was so moved!! (I couldn’t do it because I’m not good with deep water, but I still had fun! The sandbar is shallow, so I could go in!)
I’m saying that I definitely want to participate again when I go to Hawaii!
However, it gets cold on the boat after getting in the water, so a windbreaker would be good, and having a waterproof camera, even a simple one, might make it even more enjoyable!
If you’re hesitating, it might be a good idea to participate! There are things you won’t understand until you experience them.
今回サンドバーに参加させて頂きました!
結論から言うと、とても感動しました!
生で体感する大自然は本当に美しいんだなと思いました!
海のど真ん中に立つのはとても貴重な体験でした!
ただビーチに居るだけでも美しいのに、あの透明の海に、キラキラのブルーの空、海の真ん中に立つと空も海も広く、雲も本当に近く感じました!
そして、日本人のガイドさんも居て、とても同じ人間とは思えないほど泳ぎの上手い方もいて安心感もありました。
そして、行きのバスガイドさんもとても陽気で笑わせてくれて面白かったです。
船に乗ってからの日本人の女性ガイドさんも笑わせてくれ、記念写真も撮って頂きました。
バスガイドさんが、隣りの船でラストクリスマスなどを弾き語りで歌ってくれて、広い海の真ん中で焼き立てのハンバーガーを食べながら弾き語りを聞くのは最高でした!!
余っていれば、ダブルバーガーやおかわりをさせて貰える事も。
海亀のチラッと泳いでいる所も見れましたし、シュノーケリングも主人はとても楽しんでいました!
本当に驚く程お魚や珊瑚が見れるそうですよ!感動していました!!(私は深い所は苦手なので出来ませんでしたが、それでも楽しめました!サンドバーは浅いので入れました!)
またハワイに行ったら絶対参加したい!と言っている程です!
ただ海に入った後船の上が寒いのでウィンドブレーカーを、それと簡単な物でも防水カメラなどもあると、より楽しめるかもしれません!
迷っている方は参加してみると良いかもしれません!
体験してみないと分からない事はありますからね。
A traditional 10-day trip for two girls, meeting and parting at the same place. This time, we met in Honolulu and went to the Big Island, then returned to Honolulu.
"The Angel's Sea Sandbar!" The name itself is so feminine! We were able to see sea turtles popping their heads out and swimming several times from the boat. We walked on the transparent emerald green sandbar and snorkeled where the sea turned a dark green, swimming with the fish. The guide explained the safety instructions thoroughly, so we felt secure while snorkeling.
The guide and the captain were funny people, and we had a great time filled with laughter.
恒例の現地集合現地解散10日間の女子2人旅。今回はホノルルで待ち合わせをしてハワイ島へ行きその後ホノルルに。
「天使の海サンドバー!」ネーミングからして女子力高い!ウミガメが頭を出している所や泳いでいる所をボートから何回も見る事が出来ました。透き通るエメラルドグリーンのサンドバーを歩き、ダークグリーンに海の色が変わった所でのシュノーケリングで魚と一緒に泳いだり。ガイドさんが注意事項をしっかりと説明してくれたので安心してシュノーケリングできました。
ガイドさんや船長さんが面白い人で笑いが絶えず楽しい時間でした。
It was fun, but it was cold at the location, and the pool was chilly. I was surprised that the photos were too expensive. I hope there is a tour that includes photos.
楽しかったが、現地が寒くてプールに入るのが冷たかった。
写真が高額すぎてびっくりした。
写真付きのツアーがあるといいなと思う。
They use the motor to get the boat out of the harbour and then turn it off and you are moving swiftly along just by wind power - it's a wonderful experience, so calm but invigorating. The weather was perfect, sunny with clouds and a good breeze for sailing. The crew were great. Friendly, helpful and professional. Anna, the bar tender was especially good (and we all got a voucher for a free cocktail which I did not realize - nice!). She helped one person who was not feeling too good and gave him all sorts of great advice.
The boat sails along the coastline so you get the perfect view of the Honolulu coastline and Waikiki. We even saw a whale off the side of the boat which was really exciting. A great afternoon trip and great value.
Aloha
We're so delighted to hear you enjoyed your time on Makani and with her crew. Many mahalos for taking the time to share your experience with us and Veltra.
Sending you much Aloha
just like in the movies... a greeting when you walked off the plane.
Aloha Tara!
Thank you for taking the time to reply to us regarding your lei greeting! We take pride with giving guests to our islands a piece of the aloha spirit.
We sincerely appreciate having the opportunity to serve you, and we hope to do so again in the future!
Mahalo Nui Loa!
There were quite a few intense attractions. It was tiring to carry the float board to the starting point, so I hope they can improve that. It seems that new attractions are still being added, as there are signs of construction.
As for the tour, the pickup, on-site explanations in the vehicle, and return guidance were all clear and friendly.
なかなか激しいアトラクションが多かった。浮きボードをスタート地点まで持っていくのが疲れるので、改善してほしい。まだまだ新しくアトラクションが増えるようで、工事している様子。
ツアーとしては、ピックアップ、車内での現地説明、帰りの案内等々分かりやすく親切だった。
Aloha, Su-san. Thank you for your valuable feedback.
アロハ すーさん様、
貴重なご意見ありがとうございました。
Although it was drizzling and the water temperature was low, the staff were all cheerful and kind, which made me feel the essence of Hawaii! The sandbar had water up to my waist, but it wasn't a concern due to the seasonal conditions. In fact, I felt more connected to the strange sensation of being able to stand in such deep water. We also saw many sea turtles. The hamburger was simple but very delicious. One piece of advice: depending on the season, it can be cold after getting out of the water while still wet, so it's good to have a change of clothes and a bath towel. There are no changing rooms, so you change while wrapped in a bath towel. We brought a bath towel with a rubber loop at the top, which I think was a good choice. (Some people without a change of clothes looked like they were shivering and feeling unwell.) I would love to participate again on a sunny day!
小雨が舞い、水温も低くあまり良いコンディションではありませんでしたが、スタッフさんは皆元気よく優しくて、ハワイらしさを感じられました!サンドバーも、腰までつかる水位でしたが、季節の問題なので気にならず。むしろ、こんなに沖で、足がつく不思議な感覚をより実感できた気がします。ウミガメさんもたくさん見れました。ハンバーガーも、シンプルでとても美味しかったです。アドバイスがあるとすれば、季節によっては海から上がって濡れたままだと寒いので、着替えとバスタオルがあると良いです。更衣室はないので、バスタオルを巻いて着替える感じです。私たちは、上部がゴムで輪っかになったバスタオルを持参しました。正解だったと思います。(着替えがない方の中には震えて具合が悪そうな方もいました)
また晴天の際に参加したいです!
I participated in a tour to swim with dolphins for the first time in Hawaii. Despite it being early in the morning, they provided a proper wake-up call at the hotel, confirmed the pickup time and location, and explained that renting a wetsuit would incur an additional cost due to the low water temperature in winter, advising us to bring cash or a credit card for that purpose. This left a very good impression on me.
The bus that picked us up was not a van, but a proper large bus with a very clean interior, which reassured me before the tour even began. On the way to the harbor, they provided detailed explanations about the swimming techniques we needed to follow to meet wild dolphins, allowing us to participate in the tour without any anxiety.
Upon arriving at the harbor, we put on our wetsuits and boarded the boat, setting off to meet the wild dolphins! Onboard, there was a tour guide who spoke Japanese, a professional photographer, a lifeguard who was also a hula dancer, and the captain. Everyone was cheerful and entertained us by playing music and dancing, making the time on the boat enjoyable as we headed to the dolphin spot.
When the captain anchored the boat at the dolphin location, we finally got to swim with the wild dolphins! The crew guided us to where the dolphins were, and when we dove in, we were amazed to see dozens of dolphins swimming gracefully so close that we could almost reach out and touch them. It was my first time seeing wild dolphins up close, and I was truly moved!
After the dolphins swam away from where we were, we returned to the boat and headed to a spot for snorkeling! We had about 40 minutes of free time, and we could either snorkel or use the paddleboards and kayaks that the crew provided. My husband and I enjoyed snorkeling, and while watching tropical fish, we spotted a sea turtle that the crew had mentioned we might be lucky enough to see! The sea turtle swam gracefully close enough that we could almost reach out to it, which was incredible!
When we returned to the boat, the crew had grilled Hawaiian cheeseburgers waiting for us, and we enjoyed them while watching a hula dance performance. Surrounded by the beautiful nature of mountains and the sea, having met dolphins and sea turtles, and enjoying lunch while watching hula dancing on the boat made for a luxurious tour experience. I was very satisfied, and above all, the kind and cheerful staff made the tour even more enjoyable. It was truly a tour worth participating in! If you want to swim with dolphins when you visit Oahu, I highly recommend "Dolphin & You"!
今回ハワイで初めてイルカと泳ぐツアーに参加しました。
早朝にも関わらず、ホテルにきちんとモーニングコールをしてきて下さり、ピックアップ時間や場所の最終確認、そして冬でかなり水温が低い事からウェットスーツをレンタルする場合にはお金が掛かるので、借りる場合はその分の現金もしくはクレジットカードを持参した方がいい旨なども事前に説明して下さったことからとても好印象を受けました。
迎えに来たバスはバンではなく、きちんとした大きなバスで内装もとても綺麗でツアーが始まる前から安心しました。
バスで港に向かうまでの間に野生のイルカに会う上で守らなければならない海の中での泳ぎ方等についても詳しく説明して下さり、不安なくツアーに参加できました。
港に着いて、ウェットスーツなどを着用してから船に乗り込みいよいよ野生のイルカに会いに出発!
船上には日本語ができるツアーガイド、プロのカメラマン、プロのライフセーバー兼フラダンサー、キャプテンがいたのですがとにかく皆さん陽気で私達を楽しませてくれる為に音楽を掛けてダンスをしたりしてくれたり、イルカに会えるスポットに行くまでの間退屈することなく船上で楽しい時間を過ごせました。
キャプテンがイルカがいるスポットに船を停泊させて、いよいよ野生のイルカと泳ぎに海へ!
クルーがイルカのいるところまで泳いで案内してくれて潜ってみると手を伸ばせば届くのでは⁉︎という近さで何十頭ものイルカが優雅に泳いでおり、人生で初めて野生のイルカを間近で肉眼で見る事ができ、ほんとに感動しました!
イルカの群れが私達がいた箇所を離れていってから船の上に戻り、次はシュノーケリングを楽しめるスポットへ!
こちらでは40分程の自由時間をもらえて、シュノーケリングをするもよし!
クルーの方がパドルボートとカヤックも用意してくれるのでこちらをやるもよし!
私と夫はシュノーケリングを楽しみ、熱帯魚を見ていたらクルーの方が「ラッキーだと海亀に会えるかも!」と言っていた海亀を発見!
海亀も手を伸ばせば届くのでは⁉︎というぐらい近くを優雅に泳いでくれて感動しました!
船上に帰るとクルーがハワイアンチーズバーガーをグリル機で焼いて待っていてくれて、フラダンサーの踊りを鑑賞しながらチーズバーガーを頬張りました。
周りを見れば大自然の山と海!
イルカや海亀にも会えて、船上でフラダンスを見ながらのランチ!贅沢なツアー内容に大満足ですし、何より親切で明るいスタッフの方々がツアーを更に盛り上げて下さり本当に参加した価値のあったツアーでした!
オアフ島に行った際にイルカと泳ぎたいなら『Dolphin&you』オススメです!
I participated because the low tide at the sandbar matched my travel schedule. The water depth was about calf-deep, which I thought was great. After walking on the sandbar and taking photos, those who wanted to went snorkeling. Unlike snorkeling in areas close to the shore, it was a bit of a unique experience.
サンドバーの干潮時期と旅行日程が合ったので参加しました。
水深は、ふくらはぎ程度でしたので良かったと思います。
サンドバーの上を歩いて写真撮影等をした後で、希望者のみシュノーケリングをしました。
岸に近い場所でのシュノーケリングとは違い、ちょっと変わった体験ができました。
The visibility was good, and the waves were calm. Additionally, it seemed like we had great conditions as we spotted dolphins right after departing. However, I only saw them swimming during the first dive, and I just caught a glimpse of two in the distance. During the second dive, I didn’t see them swimming at all; I only saw them flying above the surface in the distance.
So, I can say I did see dolphins, and I thought, "It can't be helped. I'll try again someday." But when I looked at the photos I purchased, there were so many dolphins swimming... I felt down realizing that some people got to see such wonderful dolphin sightings that day while I did not. I’m good at swimming and thought I was desperately searching with my face in the water, but perhaps it was just a matter of timing...
I wanted to try again since I didn’t get to see them, but the third dive was in an area with sea turtles and tropical fish. I was happy to see the sea turtles, but I wanted to swim with the dolphins, so I wished I could have tried again at a different spot. It seemed there were others who reported not seeing them during the second dive as well...
I want to achieve my dream of swimming with dolphins, so I would like to go back to Hawaii, but next time I want to join a tour that focuses solely on dolphins.
透明度もよく、波も余りたっておらず、
さらに出港後すぐにイルカを発見という好条件だったようですが、
泳いでる姿を見れたのは1回目のみ、2頭を遠くにみただけでした。
2回目のダイブは泳いでる姿はみれず、水面を飛んでる?姿を遠くにみただけ。
イルカが見れたかといえば見れたので
「仕方ない。またいつかリベンジしよう」と思ってましたが
購入した写真をみるとたくさんのイルカが泳いている姿・・・
あの日こんなにも素晴らしいイルカの姿を見れた人と見入れない人がいるのかと落ち込みました。
泳ぎも得意ですし、海に顔をつけ必死に探しまわったつもりですが、
タイミングなのでしょうか・・・
見れないので再チャレンジしたかったけど、
3回目はウミガメや熱帯魚のエリアでした。
ウミガメは嬉しかったけど、イルカと泳ぎたかったので別のスポットで再チャレンジさせてもらいたかったです。
2回目見れないと申告した方もいたようですし・・・
イルカと泳ぐ夢を達成したいのでまたハワイに行きたいですが、
次回はイルカだけのツアーに参加したいと思いました。
I participated with my mother, who is in her 60s and cannot swim. She was worried about whether it would be okay since she can't swim, but as long as you don't snorkel, it's not a problem at all. You can wait on the boat or play in shallow areas. However, when getting off the boat, it is quite deep, so I think it might be surprising at first. After that, it's shallow, so as long as you pay attention when getting off, I don't think there will be any issues.
Unfortunately, the weather was cloudy and rainy, which was disappointing, but the cruise staff were very nice. When you see a turtle, they will point out the direction, saying something like "Turtle at 3 o'clock!" I would like to try again on a sunny day.
泳げない60代の母親と2人で参加しました。泳げないので大丈夫か母親が心配していましたが、シュノーケルをしなければ、全然問題ないです。船で待つこともできますし、浅いところで遊ぶこともできます。ただ、船から降りるときはとても深いので、最初びっくりすると思います。その先は浅いので、降りるときだけ注意していれば問題ないと思います。
お天気があいにく曇りと雨で残念でしたが、クルーズのスタッフの方もとてもいいかたでした。亀が見えると、かめー3時とか亀がいる方向を教えてくれますよ♪お天気がいいときに再チャレンジしたいです。
This was my third visit, two days after running the Honolulu Marathon. We ordered a bottle of wine and enjoyed a course meal. The food was very delicious, and the portion sizes were just right for us as a couple in our 60s! It was a bit disappointing that there were no staff members who spoke Japanese.
ホノルルマラソンを走った翌々日に3回目の訪問。
ワインはボトルでオーダーしてコース料理をいただきました。
とても美味しいお料理で、私達60過ぎの夫婦には量もちょうどいい!
日本語を話せるスタッフがいなかったのが少し残念でした。
We had an amazing time on our Dolphin tour. Staff were friendly and knowledgable. Loved that it was a small group, and we were able to swim with the Spinner Dolphins and Sea turtles. Also lucky enough to see Bottle Nose Dolphins and Humpback whales too. Only downside was getting a bit sea sick. The staff looked after my phone while I fed the fish and took a great selfie
My wife and I went to this adventure hoping to have a great time and see some fish here and there while snorkeling but these guys got us a great tour and we saw a ton of fish near the coral reef where they took us. The staff is super friendly and fun plus. The food was right on point and we loved they even gave us some hot chocolate after the swim to warm us up a bit.
Jenner and the captain are super friendly, I would love to go back and see them again when I go back to Hawaii.
Our kids enjoyed all you can ear crabs then loved sunset view.
I participated at the end of November. Despite the unfortunate weather, it became a fun memory. I attended with my 2-year-old daughter, and I am truly, truly grateful for the kindness of the staff. The lunch hamburger was delicious, and I was also happy to have a warm drink after snorkeling. We even saw sea turtles! I made a wish too, haha. I want to participate again!! Hawaii is the best!
11月末に参加させて頂きました。あいにくの天候でしたが、楽しい思い出になりました。2歳の娘との、
参加でしたが、スタッフの方々のお心遣いに本当に本当に感謝です。ランチのハンバーガーも美味しかったですしシュノーケルの後の温かい飲み物も嬉しかったです♡
海ガメも見れました♡お願い事もしました笑
また参加したいです!!ハワイ最高です♡♡
I participated in a sandbar tour. The weather was bad, but I was able to enjoy the sandbar and snorkeling. Also, the BBQ hamburger for lunch was delicious.
サンドバーツアーに参加しました。天気が悪かったですが、サンドーバーやシュノーケルを満喫できました。また、ランチのBBQハンバーガーが美味しかったです。
For the price we paid we were disappointed. The brochure made the park look much larger than it really was. Also, many of the slides were closed, opened periodically. I think they may have been short staffed as lifeguards hopped from slide to slide closing them as they went.
Slides were fun but I don't think worth what we paid.
Aloha,
Thank you for your valuable comments. We will present your comments to improve our service in the future.
The tour was quite cold due to the cloudy weather. Everyone on the tour was Japanese. There was one Japanese guide and a few locals from Hawaii. The Japanese guide mainly led the tour. During the sea turtle watching, we were able to see several sea turtles. After the photo session at the sandbar, we went snorkeling. It was cold! (laughs) Since we were snorkeling in a large group, honestly, we couldn't see anything due to the sand. I had imagined beautiful fish and coral, but unfortunately, that wasn't the case. A light meal of sandwiches and chips, along with warm drinks, was also provided. I hope to go on a nice weather day next time!
曇りだったため、とても寒い中でのツアーになりました。ツアーは全員日本人。ガイドさんはひとり日本人で、あと数名ハワイの方がいました。主に日本人ガイドが案内をしてくれます。ウミガメウォッチングでは、何匹ものウミガメがみれました。サンドバーでの写真撮影時間を終え、スノーケルへ。寒かった!(笑)多くの人数で連なってスノーケルするので、正直砂ぼこりでなにも見えませんでした。綺麗な魚と珊瑚を想像していましたが、残念。軽食はサンドイッチとチップス、温かい飲み物も用意されていました。今度は天気のいい日に行けたらいいなー!
Our accommodation was at Hilton Hawaiian Village, but the pickup was at Ilikai Hotel (meeting at 9 AM). I was surprised to find that the pickup vehicle was a large bus instead of a van. I understood why the meeting point was in front of Ilikai Hotel, as it must be difficult to enter the narrow pickup area at Hilton. After that, we stopped at several hotels, and by the time we headed to the port, the bus was almost full. We arrived at the port in about an hour. After that, we took a boat to the sandbar. Since it wasn't low tide, even in shallow areas, the water depth was up to my knees, but the scenery was beautiful. We then had lunch with hamburgers topped with grilled patties on the boat, moved to a spot where sea turtles frequently appear for turtle watching from the boat, and then went to a large coral reef for snorkeling. Here, we were able to see many fish and turtles. However, I think the coral and sea in Ishigaki Island, where I go diving every year, might be prettier (though it probably depends on the day's conditions). After returning to the port, we switched to a bus and went back to the hotel (we returned to the hotel around 3 PM). When we got off the boat, the Japanese guide asked for a tip, which made me wonder if it wasn't included in the tour fee. There are tours on Veltra that include tips, so it might be a good idea for everyone to check.
宿泊先がヒルトンハワイアンビレッジでしたが、ピックアップはイリカイホテルでした。(9時に集合)迎えの車をワゴン車だと思っていたら、大型バスでびっくり。ヒルトンの狭い送迎場所に入りにくいのだろうなと、集合場所がイリカイホテル前だったことを納得しました。その後、数ヵ所のホテルに寄り、港に向かう時にはバスがほぼ満席になっていました。港には1時間程度で到着。その後、船でサンドバーへ。サンドバーは、干潮でなかったため、膝程度まで浅いところでも水深がありましたが、きれいな景色が広がっていました。その後、船上で焼き上げたパテをのせたハンバーガーの昼食、ウミガメがよく出没するポイントに移動して船上からのウミガメ見学、大きなサンゴ礁に移動してシュノーケルを行いました。ここでは、たくさんの魚や亀を見ることができました。ただ、毎年ダイビングに行く石垣島のほうが珊瑚や海はきれいかな。(その日のコンディションにもよるのでしょうが)その後、港にもどり、バスに乗り換え、ホテルに戻りました。(ホテルに戻ったのが15時くらい)船を降りるときに、日本人のガイドにチップを求められた時は、ツアー料金に含まれていないの?と疑問が沸いて来ましたので、同じveltraのツアーでチップ込のツアーもあったりしますので、皆さん確認はされたほうがいいかもしれません。
Great time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Our tour bus guide was very friendly and knowledgeable about many aspects of Hawaii's history. He got us to all the tour destinations with just the right amount of time at each location. Thanks for the Hawaiian language lesson as well.
I made a reservation for a "Cruise & Sea" experience to help my husband, who has never been to Hawaii, fall in love with it. The weather was quite changeable, but during lunch and the timing at the sandbar, it cleared up beautifully, and it felt wonderful. We even saw sea turtles!
I didn't go snorkeling; instead, I relaxed on the boat, enjoying the scenery and reading, which was also nice. My husband was enjoying the beautiful views on the Angel's Sea Cruise as well!
When we went from the boat to the sandbar, we had to swim a little in the water, and I thought it would have been better if we could have just stepped onto the sand directly. (I guess it might not be possible because it's a large boat.)
ハワイは行ったことがないという主人に、ハワイを大好きになってもらいたくて、「クルーズ・海」で、ハワイを堪能してもらいたくて、予約しました。
天候はコロコロと変動がありましたが、ランチ、サンドバーのタイミングには、ぱーっと晴れて、とても気持ちが良かったです。ウミガメも見れました!
私は、シュノーケリングはせずに、船の上でのんびり景色をみたり、読書をしたりして、過ごしましたが、それもまた良かったです。
主人も、きれいだねと、天使の海クルーズを堪能していました!
船からサンドバーに行く時に、海の中を少し泳いでいかないといけなかっったので、そのまま砂の上に降りれたらもっとよかったなぁって思います。(大きな船なので無理なのかと思いますが。)
Exploring the sandbar was easy when the seabed was sandy, but when we got closer to the rocky areas, it was painful on the soles of our feet, and everyone let out little screams. However, wandering underwater was fun. I can't swim at all, and while I didn't snorkel, the participants who dove were all excited about the beautiful sea. It's a shame I couldn't see it! But for those who couldn't dive (like me and a grandmother with small children), we were able to take a sightseeing tour around the area on a motorboat. The crew only spoke English, but chatting with them was enjoyable. The Japanese-speaking guide was also interesting, and the meal exceeded my expectations. Those who dove seemed to get hungry, as they even went back for seconds. Next time, I hope to be able to swim a bit better and challenge myself to try snorkeling again.
サンドバーの散策は砂場状の海底の時は未だ歩きやすいのですが、岩に近い海底面の時は足裏が痛くて皆んなチョット悲鳴をあげたり、海中の散策が面白かったです。全く泳げないのですが、シュノーケリングの時はしませんでしたが、潜った参加者の方々は皆さん楽しいんで綺麗な海の様子に興奮気味でした。見れなくて残念!でも、潜れない人(私と小さいお子様連れのおばあさん)には、モータボートで周りを観光させてくださいました。英語しか喋れないクルーでしたが、お喋りがたのしかったです。日本語でのガイドさんんもおもしろく、食事も結構期待以上の内容でした。潜った人達はやはりお腹が空くのかお代わりまでしていましたよ。次回は少し泳げるようになって、シュノーケリングにチャレンジできるよう、又利用しようと思います。
Aloha! Thank you for joining the Captain Bruce's Paradise of the Sea tour. I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed both the tour and the meal. The underwater scenery is truly beautiful! I hope you can challenge yourself to try snorkeling next time. We look forward to seeing you again.
アロハ!キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーにご参加ありがとうございました。
ツアーもお食事も楽しんでいただけて良かったです。
海の中やっぱり綺麗ですよ〜!!ぜひ次回はシュノーケルに挑戦できるといいですね。お待ちしてます。
All participants were Japanese, and we were fortunate to have a Japanese trainer. We were able to enjoy interacting with the dolphins without worrying about the language barrier. There was also an explanation about a rare dolphin-whale hybrid, which piqued our interest even more. During other times, we were able to see turtles and sharks as well. We could purchase photos and a DVD, which helped us create wonderful memories. The DVD contains footage of all participants from the same session, so it was great that we only needed one since we went as a pair.
参加者全員が日本人で、運よく日本人トレーナーさんに当たりました。
言葉を気にせずイルカとの触れ合いを楽しめました。
珍しいイルカとクジラのハーフの子がいるといった説明もあり、さらに興味がわきました。
ほかの時間はカメやサメなども見ることが出来ました。
写真、DVDも購入でき、良い思い出を残せました。
DVDは同じ回の参加者全員分の映像が収められていますので、2人で行きましたがDVDは一つにしてよかったです。
We wanted to do something fun while my dad was visiting for his and my daughter's birthday. Great trip! The guys were funny and knowledgeable. We saw dolphin right as we sat out on the trip. Snorkeling spot was great and clear blue seas. We hope to do it again!
It was a bit raining in the morning but the Monoa Falls was very very nice.
Our guide explained us very kind and neatly so we understood well.
You must need a shoe to go with.( Some people went there by Beach sandals and slipping over the mud)
