I can't believe there is such a beautiful ocean in Hawaii!!

It's truly a heavenly sea!

I want to use it again next time!

I was moved!

ハワイにこんなにきれいな海があるなんて！！

本当に天国の海！

また次も利用したいです！

感動しました！

Captain Bob experience was one of our highlights! We saw turtles , fish, snorkeled, good food, great crew. Will go again next year.

We were both quite nervous as it was our first time in Hawaii, but the crew was very cheerful and kind, making it an incredibly memorable experience! Since there were Japanese staff members, we didn't have any particular difficulties, and being newlyweds, we were able to take many wonderful photos (*´ ˘ `*)♡ I would love to participate again!

お互い初めてのハワイでかなりドキドキしていましたが、クルーの皆さんがとても明るくて優しくて、ものすごく良い思い出になりました！
日本人スタッフさんもいてくれているので特に何かに困ることは無かったし、新婚ということでたくさん素敵な写真を撮って頂きました(*´ ˘ `*)♡
何回でも参加したいと思います！

The sandbar felt shallow, possibly due to high tide, but during the subsequent sea turtle watch, we saw many sea turtles and manta rays! There were also plenty of sea turtles while snorkeling, and it was one of the most satisfying snorkeling experiences I've had. The staff was friendly, and since they provided a Japanese guide, I felt comfortable enjoying the activities. I definitely want to do this again next time.

サンドバーは満潮だったのか、浅瀬って感じでしたが、その後のウミガメウォッチではたくさんのウミガメと、マンタが見られました！
シュノーケリングの時も、たくさんウミガメがいて、今まで体験したシュノーケリングでもかなり満足できました。
スタッフの方も気さくで、日本語ガイドなので安心して遊べました。
また次回もやりたいです。

I participated in the morning plan. Unfortunately, it was a cloudy day, but even in January, Hawaii was warm. We headed to the heavenly sea while watching sea turtles. There were about 100 participants. At the sandbar, we walked over 50 meters in water slightly below waist level, over sand and coral fragments. It seemed to be low tide... Then, we took commemorative photos. We were split into two boats. The snorkeling experience was wonderful, with thorough and attentive guidance, and we slowly explored alongside the sandbar, observing tropical fish and sea turtles on the bottom. Since breakfast was around noon, it was actually lunch. The delicious croissant sandwiches and other offerings were satisfying. The staff's service was excellent and left a strong impression. I would love to go again.

　午前プランで参加。あいにくの曇り空でしたが、１月なのにハワイは暖か。ウミガメウオッチングをしながら、天国の海へ。100人位の参加。サンドバーは腰よりやや下の海水の中、砂やサンゴのかけらの上を５０ｍ以上歩きます。引き潮だとみられるのだが・・・。そして、記念撮影。２艘にわかれていました。シュノーケリング体験は、懇切丁寧な指導後にサンドバー横をゆっくり、熱帯魚や底にいた海亀を見ながら。朝食は昼頃でしたのでランチです。おいしいクロワッサンサンドなど満足する内容です。スタッフの対応もよく感動。また、行きたいと思います。

I have quite a bit of experience traveling to Hawaii, but this was my first time at Kualoa Ranch. I've always wanted to go, and I finally made it happen this time. I'm so glad I went! I wonder why I didn't come sooner? At the private beach, I relaxed in a hammock, and on the cruise, I even got to see turtles. The location tour was fun, and it was a valuable experience to see the U.S. military bunkers. It was a packed and enjoyable day from early morning until nearly evening.

ハワイ渡航歴はかなりありますが クアロア牧場へは今回が初めてでした。
いつも行きたいと思いつつ、今回やっと実現しました。
行ってよかったです！なんでもっと早く来なかったんだろう？
プライベートビーチではハンモックでのんびり、クルーズでは亀にも会えました。
ロケ地巡りも楽しく、米軍の防空壕を見ることができたのも貴重な体験でした。
早朝から夕方近くまで盛りだくさんで楽しかったです。

The weather was nice, the sea was beautiful, and I really enjoyed my first snorkeling experience. Also, the hamburger eaten on the water was exceptional and very delicious.

天気もよく、海もきれいで、初シュノーケリングもとても楽しめました。
また、海の上で食べるハンバーガーは格別でとても美味しかったです。

I have participated in other tours, but this tour was very relaxing and I think it would be enjoyable for families as well. It was a tour that makes you want to go again. I recommend it!

他のツアーに参加した事がありますが、今回のツアーはとてもゆったりとしていて家族で行っても楽しめると思います。また行きたくなるツアーでした。お薦めです！

Four years ago, I participated with my family, and this time I joined for my honeymoon. Even on days when we couldn't see dolphins, sea turtles, or whales, everyone was able to see them.

４年前に家族と、そして今回は新婚旅行で参加しました。
イルカ、ホヌ、くじら　見えない日もあるというのにみんな見ることができました。

Since I joined on the afternoon flight, it seems it was raining in the morning, but it cleared up and the blue sky was beautiful! The shallowest part was at my ankles, so that was great! The lunch was delicious, and I was really satisfied with the kayaking experience too!

午後の便での参加だったため朝は雨が降っていたみたいですが、晴れて青空が広がっていて綺麗でした！1番浅いところで足首のところでしたので良かったです*\(^o^)/*昼ごはんも美味しくて、カヤックなども体験できすごく満足です！！

I participated with my mother.

Among the many tours available, I chose this one because it offered a simple itinerary focused on the sandbar and snorkeling, along with two key points: "Japanese-speaking guide" and "BBQ lunch included."

Once we boarded the bus heading to Kaneohe Bay from the meeting point, the guide was a foreigner who knew a few words of Japanese (not fluent). The atmosphere on the bus was extremely high-energy, filled with American jokes, but only the English-speaking passengers were laughing. Many of the Japanese passengers, who made up 80% of the bus, felt left out... (sigh). I was worried that this person with broken Japanese was the "Japanese-speaking guide," but I felt relieved to find another Japanese staff member on the boat.

The Japanese-speaking female guide was energetic and great at engaging the group; she was very funny and kind! Her explanations were very clear, and as someone who lacks confidence in English, I was glad I chose a Japanese staff member. The other staff members were all locals, and although their Japanese was limited, they were friendly and kind. I was able to enjoy the experience comfortably throughout.

The sandbar we aimed for had water up to about my knees, but it was beautifully clear, and while some people were swimming, others were playing beach volleyball. I think everyone was able to enjoy themselves thoroughly. We were blessed with good weather, and we had plenty of time to relax on the sandbar. Although it was a large tour with two boats, we didn't feel crowded with other tours, and we were able to take beautiful photos!

Lunch was a BBQ on the boat! I didn't have high expectations since it was an option, but it turned out to be hearty and delicious! Freshly grilled hamburgers with a wonderful view! A pleasant breeze! The staff even sang while playing the guitar... it was truly the best moment! After that, we moved to see sea turtles together and even spotted a rare giant manta ray, which made us feel special when they said, "Today is your lucky day!"

The snorkeling point was filled with lots of fish, and I was thrilled to see colorful tropical fish right in front of me. My mother, who is over 60, was initially scared of snorkeling and planned to stay on the boat, but I took her to the water, and although she was scared and almost in tears, a staff member guided her with a floating stick, allowing her to swim comfortably throughout. She was able to see many beautiful fish up close, and I think it became a great memory for her. I appreciate the kind assistance, as I imagine guiding her underwater must have been tiring.

At the snorkeling point, we were lucky enough to swim close to a sea turtle, which became a very memorable experience. Like the sandbar, this was also a private spot just for our tour participants, so we could enjoy it without being crowded. I think we had about 45 minutes to an hour of snorkeling time. We thoroughly enjoyed our time in the water! After getting out of the sea, it was great to receive a warm drink to warm up my chilled body.

The only disappointing part was... when we boarded the bus for the return trip, there were somehow too many people, and there were no seats available. There were even empty seats on the way there, so why were there more people on the return trip? Were they not checking names properly before boarding? This remains a mystery... I was terrified thinking that we could have almost been left behind because the bus was full! This was a moment that made me realize the lack of organization compared to Japanese tours. I ended up feeling disappointed at the very end. (★-1) I also felt uneasy when the staff only took attendance in the morning and then left in the vehicle without saying anything... (after a while, a large bus arrived). Given that the tour itself exceeded my expectations, the handling during the meeting and the bus rides detracted from the quality of the tour.

I felt that the prices of tours have risen signific

母と２人で参加しました。

数あるツアーの中で、サンドバーとシュノーケリングに特化したシンプルなツアー内容であること、そして「日本語ガイド」「BBQランチ付き」の2点がポイントでこちらに申し込みました。

集合場所からカネオヘ湾へ向かうバスに乗り込むと、バス内でガイドしてくださる方はガチガチの外国人の方で、一言二言日本語を知っている（≠話せる）レベル。
バス内は超高いテンションで終始アメリカンジョークがさく裂していましたが、笑っているのは英語圏の方のみ。車中80％を占める日本人の多くは置いてけぼり状態‥（苦笑）
まさか、このカタコトの方が「日本語ガイド」？？と焦りましたが、船には別の日本人スタッフの方がいてひと安心。

日本語ガイドの女性はテンション高く盛り上げ上手で、とーっても面白くていい方でした！
説明も大変わかりやすく、英語に自信がない私はやっぱり日本語スタッフを選択して正解でした。
その方以外の他のスタッフは皆 現地の方々でしたが、日本語はカタコトなものの、フレンドリーで優しくていい方ばかり。終始楽しく、安心して参加することが出来ました。

お目当てのサンドバーは膝下くらいの水位でしたが、底まで透き通って大変美しく、泳ぐ方もいればビーチバレーをする方々もいて、参加者各々が十分に楽しめたと思います。
お天気にも恵まれ、サンドバー上陸の時間も十分にとってくださり、マッタリと過ごすことが出来ました。
船2隻での大所帯ツアーでしたが、他のツアーの方と一緒になって混雑するようなこともなく、美しい写真もバッチリ撮れます！

昼食は船内でBBQランチ！オプションだからと期待していませんでしたが、これがまたボリューミーで美味しかった！
たった今焼いたばかりの出来立てハンバーガーに素晴らしい景色！気持ちいい風！スタッフの方がギター片手に歌まで披露してくれて‥まさに最高のひと時！
その後、移動して皆でウミガメを見たり、珍しい巨大マンタも目撃することができ「今日はラッキーだよ！」と言ってもらえて特別感もありました！

シュノーケリングポイントは本当にお魚がい～っぱいいる場所で、目の前にカラフルな熱帯魚がたくさんいて感激でした。
60歳オーバーの母は、シュノーケリングを怖がって船内に残るつもりでいましたが、せっかくだから！と半ば強引に海に連れて行き、怖くて泣きそうになっていたところ、スタッフの方が棒状の浮きを持ってずーっと誘導してくださり、終始安心して泳ぐことができたようです。
美しいお魚も近くでたくさん見られたようで、母にとってもいい思い出になったと思います。
海中での誘導は疲れたと思います。親切な対応に大変感謝します！

シュノーケリングポイントではウミガメも出没！幸運にも近くで一緒に泳ぐこともでき、とても心に残る経験になりました。
サンドバー同様、ここも同じツアー参加者だけの貸し切りスポットだったため、人で溢れかえるようなこともなく悠々と楽しむことができました。
シュノーケリングの時間は45分～1時間ほどあったように思います。十分すぎるくらいに海の中を満喫し、心底楽しめました！
海から上がって冷えた身体に、すかさず温かいドリンクをいただけたのは「わかってるなぁ！」という感じでした。


ひとつだけ残念だったのは‥‥
帰りのバスに乗り込むと、なぜか定員オーバーで座る席が無かったこと。
行きの車内では空席もあったくらいなのに、なぜ帰りの便は席が足りないほど人が増えているのでしょうか？
ちゃんと名前を確認して乗車させていないんでしょうか？こればかりは謎でしかありません‥
満席だから出発！と、危うく現地に置き去りにされる可能性もあったかとお思うと、恐ろしくてなりません。
こればかりは、日本のツアーとは違う杜撰な部分が出たな‥と痛感した場面でした。
最後の最後に残念な思いをしてしまいました。（★-1）
朝の集合時も、点呼だけして何も告げずに車でどこかに行ってしまうスタッフの方に不安を感じました‥（しばらくして大型バスが到着）
ツアーの内容自体が期待以上だっただけに、集合時と行き帰りのバスでの対応が、ツアーの質を落としている感は否めません。


どのツアー会社も、以前に比べツアー自体の価格が高騰して数十ドル値上がっている印象を受けましたが、今回は大変満足したツアーでしたので、この内容だったらまたぜひ参加したいなと思いました。
他社に比べてクチコミのポイントが高いのも納得できるいいツアーです！
安心してご参加をオススメできます。
お天気や気候、サンドバーの状態は運任せだけど、楽しめるツアー内容であることは間違いないですよ！

I participated in the Heavenly Ocean Tour in Hawaii for the first time! My friends also said it was really great to join this tour. The ocean was stunningly beautiful! No doubt about it! Additionally, the guide was kind and friendly, making it a very enjoyable day. The people were warm, and since it was my first time seeing such a beautiful ocean, it became the best memory. When I go to Hawaii again, I would like to join this tour! Thank you!

初めてハワイで天国の海ツアーに参加しました！友人もみんなこのツアーにきて本当に良かったと言っていました。素晴らしく海は綺麗です！間違いないです！そして、ガイドの方も親切で、尚且つフレンドリーに接してくださりとても楽しい１日になりました。人も暖かく、海も私はこんな綺麗な海初めてみたので、最高の思い出になりました。またハワイに行く際は、このツアーに参加したいです。ありがとうございました！

The highlight of my trip to Hawaii was the sandbar at Kaneohe Bay! The boat had both local and Japanese crew members, and both were very accommodating. In particular, the Japanese crew member, Yukiko, was very friendly, chatting with all the participants and taking photos, which made for even more enjoyable memories!

The weather was great that day, and the sandbar was absolutely beautiful! At the sandbar, we enjoyed an hour of free time where we could practice snorkeling, take photos, and play beach volleyball with the crew and other participants.

After returning to the boat, we had hamburgers for lunch. The captain grilled the meat himself, and snacks and vegetables were self-serve. Soft drinks were unlimited, and the crew would refill them anytime if you asked at the counter on the boat.

Actually, my meat hadn’t been grilled yet, and I was told to wait a bit for a fresh one, but since they felt bad for making me wait, I ended up getting two pieces of meat (laughs), and they also grilled some cheese and bread for me! I really appreciated this kind of thoughtfulness.

After lunch, we watched sea turtles and manta rays from the boat. I heard that sea turtles are there every day, but we were lucky to see many manta rays that day, which was very moving!

From 1:00 PM, we went snorkeling near the coral reef! We snorkeled for about an hour around a very large coral reef, watching the fish. I wasn’t able to swim with the sea turtles, but it seemed that others were able to, and it appears that there are lucky moments when you can swim with them!

Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and I would love to participate again!

ハワイ旅行で一番の楽しみだった、カネオヘ湾のサンドバー！
ボートには現地の人と日本人のクルーが両方乗っており、どちらもとても対応が良かったです。
特に日本人クルー、ユキコさんは参加者皆に気さくに話し掛けていたり写真も撮ってくれたり、すごく陽気な方でより楽しい思い出ができました！
この日は天気がよく、サンドバーがとっても綺麗でした！！サンドバーでは、この後にあるシュノーケリングの練習ができたり、写真を撮ったりクルー達もツアー参加者も混じってビーチバレーをやっていたりと、各自で１時間のフリータイムを楽しんでいました。
ボートに戻ったら昼食のハンバーガー。お肉は船長自ら焼いてくれて、スナックや野菜は自分でお皿に取る方式でした。あと、ソフトドリンクは飲み放題で、ボートの中のカウンター？でクルーに声を掛ければいつでも注いでくれました。
実は私の分のお肉が焼かれていなくて新しく焼くから少し待ってと言われたのですが、待たせてしまったからと言ってお肉は2枚頂き（笑）、チーズやパンも少し焼いてくれました！こういう気づかいもして頂いて嬉しかったです^_^

昼食が終わって、ボートからウミガメとマンタをウォッチングしました。
ウミガメは毎日いるそうなのですが、この日は運良くマンタも沢山見れてとても感動しました！

13:00からは、サンゴ礁の近くでシュノーケリング！とても大きなサンゴ礁の周りを、魚たちを見ながら１時間ほどシュノーケリングしました。私はウミガメと一緒に泳げなかったのですが、他の方は泳げていたみたいで、運よく一緒にウミガメと泳げる事もあるみたいです！

総合的に、とても素晴らしい体験でまた参加したいなと思いました！

The ship and crew are lovely and we saw a pod of 3 whales come up 3 times, but it felt too brief. We were in one location the whole time and before you knew it we were heading back. Maybe thats what all whale watching tours are like. If there was a longer option I'd do that next time.

This time, unfortunately, I couldn't encounter any whales, but I was surprised by the differences in the plan's content. Despite paying a bit more for a tour that was supposed to have Japanese guidance, there was only an English explanation. Additionally, even though iced tea was listed as a beverage, it wasn't available, and I was told that while there was Japanese tea, it would be at an extra charge. I almost want a refund because, in a way, it was a memorable tour.

今回、残念ながらホエールには遭遇出来なかったんですが、それよりプランの内容に違いがありビックリしました。少し高いお金を払い日本語案内があるものを選んだにも関わらず英語オンリーの解説しかなくしかも飲み物にアイスティーが記載されているにも関わらず用意がなく日本茶なら有料だがあるとの返答。料金を返金してもらいたいぐらいある意味心に残るツアーでした。

There was no land visible above the water surface as often seen in photos, but the white color of the knee-deep water spread throughout the blue sea. The tones of white, blue, and emerald green were very beautiful. After lunch, during snorkeling, I was able to see a large sea turtle up close that I felt I could ride, making it an exhilarating tour.

写真でよく見る、水面上の陸地はありませんでしたが、ひざ上位の水深の白い色が、青い海のなかに広がっていました。
白、青、エメラルドグリーンのトーンが、とても綺麗でした。
ランチのあとのシュノーケリングでは、自分が乗れそうな大きな海ガメを、間近に見ることができ、大興奮のツアーでした。

Great buffet lunch, accommodating service staff and siting a number of whales - what could be better?

I highly recommend this tour.

I was able to make good use of the time from 9:00 to 15:00.

The beauty of the sandbar and the fun of snorkeling were, of course, wonderful, and the cheerful and articulate staff on the cruiser kept the atmosphere lively throughout. There were customers with small children, and I thought it was really lovely to see the couple enjoying snorkeling while the staff kept the kids entertained.

During snorkeling, I even got to see sea turtles underwater, which was amazing!! ヽ（´∀｀＊）ﾉ

9:00～15:00の時間を有意義に使えました。

サンドバーの美しさやシュノーケリングの楽しさはもちろん、クルーザーの上でも愉快で滑舌のよいスタッフの方が始終盛り上げてくれていました。
小さなお子様連れのお客様がいらしたのですが、ご夫婦がシュノーケリングを楽しめるよう子供をずっと楽し気にあやしている姿を見たときに非常に素敵だなと思いました。

シュノーケリングでは海中のウミガメまでみれて、最高でした！！ヽ（´∀｀＊）ﾉ

My daughter has always dreamed of swimming with dolphins, and although it was a bit pricey, I'm really glad we participated because she was so happy‼︎

Not only did we get to interact with dolphins, but we also had the chance to meet seals and many birds, making it a wonderful experience☆

The timing was just right too^_^

娘がイルカと一緒に泳ぐのが夢で、ちょっと高くて迷いましたが、娘がとても喜んでいたので、参加して本当に良かったです‼︎

イルカだけでなく、アシカやたくさんの鳥たちとも触れ合うことが出来て、とてもいい経験になりました☆

時間もちょうどよかったです^_^

There are many attractions like slides, an athletic course, a wave pool, and a lazy river, and my sixth-grade daughter and third-grade son really enjoyed themselves!

The shuttle service timing was just right! I definitely want to go again!

たくさんの滑り台やアスレチック、波のでるプール、流れるプールなど、たくさんのアトラクションがあり、６年生の娘と３年生の息子もとても楽しんでいました^_^

送迎の時間もちょうど良かったです！
ぜひまた、行きたいです☆

The breakfast was decent, but I was very moved to see the whales. There were many announcements in English on the ship, but everyone moved in the direction of the whales, so I didn't have any particular difficulties.

朝食はそれなりですが、くじらを見られてとても感動しました。
船内の案内は英語が多いですが、くじらのいる方向にみなさん動くので、特に不自由ありませんでした

We participated as a couple in our 40s. Despite it being the off-season, it was packed. I recommend booking early. You can have a unique experience where, just 15 minutes out to sea, you find yourself in shallow water up to your knees. Additionally, it's a great point that you can easily enjoy authentic snorkeling while seeing many fish. The lunch on the boat was plentiful and quite delicious. For fans, having Leonard's malasadas served first is a real treat. The level of the guide was high, and I think it was a very well-organized tour with efficient time management, attention to safety, and support tailored to the types of participants. Advance booking is necessary, and it seems there are limited spots, but having goggles for nearsightedness was very helpful.

40代夫婦で参加。オフシーズンにも関わらずぎっしりでした。早めの申し込みがお勧めです。15分ほど沖に出た場所が、膝下の浅い海になっているという不思議な体験が出来ます。 また多くの魚を見ながらの本格的シュノーケリングが簡単にできるのもポイントです。船上ランチもたべきれないほどあり、結構おいしかったです。最初にレナーズのマラサダが出るのもファンにはたまりません。ガイドのレベルも高かったし、効率的な時間配分、安全面への配慮、参加者のタイプに応じたフォローなど、非常に良くできたツアーだと思います。事前申し込みが必要、また数も限られるようですが、近眼用ゴーグルがあったのは、とても助かりました。

This is by far one of the best thing s I did in Hawaii, and the tour was well planned, on time. Our driver was amazing!! Such a brilliant day!

We saw a family of whales on our trip! It was a good day out although I think it would be better to see them on another island....

My first sandbar!
To be honest, the weather wasn't great and it wasn't in the best condition, but the boat was beautiful, the guide was wonderful, and we got to see sea turtles and manta rays, which really lifted my spirits!
The sandbar was absolutely amazing!!!
When I go to Hawaii again, I definitely want to come back here!

初めてのサンドバー！
正直天気が悪く最高の状態ではなかったけど、船はキレイ・ガイドさんも素敵・ウミガメ・マンタも見れこれだけで気分は上々！
サンドバーはとにかく素晴らしかった!!!
再度ハワイに行った時も必ずここにはきたいですね！

Well needless to say this was a great experience, however id like to take the time to brag personally on our girl...she not only waited for our flight to come in which was over 45 min late coming in. ..but she was soooo sweet and just very helpful in getting us to our shuttle...just a great experience all around!

In the early morning, still feeling sleepy, the bus from Dolphin University came to pick us up at the hotel. Once we got on the bus, the morning assembly began, and I felt a sense of focus.

When we arrived at the port, dawn was breaking. I was anxious before departure, but it was a relief to be able to rent a wetsuit. We prayed before setting off, and then we were on our way.

We headed towards the area where the dolphins were, and before long, we saw a large group of dolphins. My excitement grew, and I jumped into the sea. There were so many dolphins around! There were also other groups of dolphins. Even from a distance, we spotted a whale swimming! I was overwhelmed to see two sea turtles swimming as well!

On the way back, our guide, Julie, said, "I hope you don't forget to smile when you return to reality." Her words really touched me. It might be difficult, but I want to keep that in mind!

早朝、眠気が残っている中、イルカ大学のバスが

イルカのいる場所に向かうのですが
しばらくするとイルカの群れがたくさんいます。
気持ちが高まり海に飛び込みます。

という言葉にぐっときました(;_;)
難しい事かも知れないけど
そう出来るように心がけたいと思います！

I attended with my mother in her 70s (who speaks almost no English). There was a guide assigned to our large hotel shuttle bus, and even with few Japanese people around, they made the journey comfortable and checked on us at the venue, which was very reassuring. At the show venue, the robust performers guided us with smiles, creating a very pleasant atmosphere.

We were seated in the center front row, and across from us was a pair of older white individuals who seemed to be a mother and son, so it was easy to chat and we felt relaxed. There were also younger white groups in the back who were lively, but for us, being small, the Royal Plan was great as we had a clear view of the stage.

As soon as we were seated, we were hit by a heavy rain for about ten minutes. We put on the raincoats provided on the table to take cover, and when we returned to our seats, the salad and drinks that had already been served were soaked. The main dish was protected with a lid, so we managed to eat it. After the first few songs of the show (before the real dancing began), they came to clear our plates while we were still eating, so I thought it wise to finish quickly.

The main male performer was truly entertaining, very skilled at engaging the audience and bringing people on stage, far surpassing typical comedians. His interactions with the lively middle-aged Japanese group in the audience were particularly exquisite, making me feel a bit embarrassed to be Japanese, but he managed to involve the entire venue in laughter.

On the other hand, he also shared touching stories about family and couples' love, making it a heartwarming show. At the end, we all held hands with the cool performers and other guests, singing and dancing together, creating a sense of full participation.

My mother understood most of the meaning and laughed along with everyone at the same timing, expressing her joy and desire to come again. I would definitely like to participate again if the opportunity arises! I would be happy to know the name of the main performer!

　70代の母（英語はほぼ不可）と参加しました。ホテル送迎の大きなバスにそれぞれ担当の案内係の方がいて、日本人が少ない中も、道中車内を和ませてくださり、会場でも気にかけてくださってとても安心できました。ショー会場でもごついパフォーマーの方々が、笑顔で誘導してくださり、雰囲気はとても良かったです。
　席はど真ん中の最前列で、向かいにはもっとご高齢の母息子らしき白人ペアと4人だけで、お話もしやすく気楽に過ごせました。他の後方の席では若い白人グループが盛り上がっているところもあったので、体も小さい私たちにはステージも丸見えのロイヤルプランで良かったです。
　着席してすぐ激しい雨に10分ほど見舞われ、テーブルに用意された雨合羽を着て避難し、席に戻るとすでにサーブされていたサラダや飲み物などびしょ濡れでした。メインのお皿は蓋で保護されなんとか食べられました。ショーの最初数曲の歌のみが終わると（本格的な踊りが始まる前に）、食事もまだ終わらないうちに下げに来られましたので、早く食べ終わるのが賢明と思いました。
　メインの男性は、本当にお話が面白く、ステージにたくさん人を上げてはみんなをいじるのがとても上手で、そんじょそこらのお笑いの人など比較にならないほどでした。
特にお元気な中高年の日本人グループのお客さんのいじり方が絶妙で、若干日本人であることが恥ずかしく思えるような部分もありましたが、会場全体を笑いの渦に巻き込んでいました。
その一方で、家族や夫婦の愛情について感動的なお話もされ心温まる素敵なショーでした。
　最後には、かっこいいパフォーマーのお兄さんたちや他のお客さんたちとみんなで手をつないで歌を歌い踊って全員参加といった感じで終わりました。
　母もだいたい意味が分かってみんなと同じタイミングで笑っており、大変喜んでまた来たいと申しておりました。
　また機会があれば是非参加したいと思います！
　あのメインのお方のお名前がわかると嬉しいです！

Helpful driver(young man but forgot name..sorry). Mosquito repellent and walking stick. Thought about taking bus, but the last stop is a bit of a distance from trailhead. This shuttle expedites the process. Picked up and dropped off at Waikiki hotel. If you have limited time on the island I would definitely recommend this tour. The hike itself is not overly demanding in dry conditions. Wife and I are in 50's and in so-so condition. I thought this was easier than Diamond Head hike, which wasn't difficult either. Probably an entirely different story if wet and rainy. Get off the beach and experience another aspect of the island. Enjoyed it.

The pickup location at the place we were staying was under construction, so we had to meet at the neighboring hotel, which was quite nerve-wracking. I felt relieved when the bus arrived, but one group was missing... The guide called out for them, but they weren't there, so we left. Even while driving, they were looking for them along the road. This really boosted my impression of the service.

As for the dolphins, they weren't swimming right next to us, but there were plenty swimming at our feet, and they swam alongside the boat while we were moving, which was incredibly exciting.

It was very disappointing not to encounter a honu. The snorkeling was cloudy, and it was different from what I had imagined. The weather is something you can't help, though.

But I was very satisfied. Nothing was as delicious as the malasadas on the boat!

泊まっていた場所のピックアップ場所が工事中で、隣のホテルで待ち合わせでかなりドキドキしました。バスが来たときにほっとしましたが、もう一組がいない・・・ガイドさんが声をかけてもいないので出発してしまったのですが、走っている最中も道路を見ながらいないか探されていました。ここで高感度があがりました。
肝心のイルカですが、近くで泳ぐ！！というわけではないのですが、足元でいっぱいのイルカが泳ぎ、船で走行中も並走して泳いだりしてもう大興奮でした。
ホヌに遭遇できなかったのはとても残念です。シュノーケル中も曇っていて、想像していたシュノーケルの感じとは異なりました。天気は仕方のないことですね。
でも大満足です。船上のマラサダほど美味しかったものはないです！！
