Oahu
Thoroughly enjoyed the tour. The crew were great and everything went well.
Saw Dolphins/ turtles and plenty of marine life.
Snorkelling was great. Also upgraded to snuba which was really good and definitely worth it.
The service was great. Outstanding staff that was very professional and courteous. I would DEFINITELY recommend this service if you're looking for a special evening.
We had fun and lots of interaction with performers. Chief is super. Great Shows, food and location
We were picked up at 5 AM, and after an 8-hour tour, we arrived at the hotel around 1:30 PM. The program was well-structured, and we had a very fulfilling time. It became a wonderful memory, and I highly recommend it.
First, we were greeted by the bus, where a cheerful Japanese crew member and a beautiful foreign photographer explained the day's itinerary. They also offered us the chance to purchase a USB with photos for $60. It wasn't a hard sell, so you could decline, and since I brought my underwater digital camera, I opted out. However, it seemed that quite a few people ended up purchasing it. Those who bought the USB received a wristband and were prioritized for photos, but the crew also took plenty of pictures of those who didn't buy it, so the USB was filled with photos of other participants. This was a bit embarrassing for those who didn't purchase it, and I wish they would reconsider that practice. By the way, the crew also took photos with my own underwater camera while on the boat. Wet suits are available for rent at $10, and you can get a refund if you don't end up wearing it, which is a nice system. I didn't rent one and just wore a long-sleeve rash guard on top. It was October, but it wasn't cold.
Onboard, the cheerful crew provided great hospitality, allowing everyone to enjoy a fun atmosphere. While cruising, we admired the mountains of West Oahu, spotted rainbows, and found dolphins that jumped in one after another. The water was quite deep and there were waves, but we followed the crew closely and were able to see many dolphins. It was a wonderful experience to see wild dolphins swimming freely in the coral reef waters. There were dozens of dolphins, swimming in groups of 5 to 10, and they came close to us repeatedly.
I felt satisfied when we returned to the boat, but a few people were seasick. I took anti-nausea medication before boarding, but even those who usually don’t get seasick might find it essential. For those prone to seasickness, sitting on the open deck of the boat seems to be a better option. At this time, we were given pineapple.
After that, we enjoyed three hula dance performances (the professional hula dancer was cute and wonderful), and we snorkeled for just under an hour at the turtle spot. We saw three sea turtles and many fish, making it a very enjoyable snorkeling experience. You can also kayak and slide into the sea from the boat. It was a return to childhood fun. Later, we had cheeseburgers (with purple taro buns) and Maui chips while enjoying the fantastic views from the boat. The burger was delicious against the backdrop of the beautiful scenery. Finally, we took a group photo with the crew and all participants, which they sent to us for free via email. By the way, water and lemonade were available for unlimited drinks on the boat.
Perhaps due to the large number of participants, there was no announcement for the hula lesson.
After getting off the boat, we went to the port's restroom (which is spacious and clean), and I recommend changing there quickly.
Overall, the tour was well-structured, and we got to see both dolphins and sea turtles perfectly. It was a highly satisfying experience, and I would love to participate again.
朝5時台にお迎え、ホテルについたのは13時半ごろの8時間長のツアーでしたが、よく練られたプログラム構成で、とても充実した時間でした。素晴らしい思い出となりました。お勧めします。
まず、バスのお迎えがあり、日本人クルーの元気なお姉さんと美人な外国人のカメラマンさんが車中、本日の行程について説明してくれ、写真が入ったUSB(60ドル)を購入するか、案内があります。決して押し売りではないので断ることもできますし、私は水中デジカメを持参したので断りましたが、かなりの人が購入しているようでした。USBを購入する人はリストバンドをもらい、重点的に撮ってもらえるシステムのようですが、購入しない私たちの写真もバシバシ撮っていたので、USBにはほかの参加者の写真が満載です。。これは、特に購入しないものにとっては、恥ずかしいし、やめてほしいと思いました。ちなみに船上では持参の水中デジカメでも、クルー自ら写真を撮ってくれました。ウエットスーツは10ドルでレンタルできますし、借りたけど実際に着なければ返金されるとのことで親切なシステムでした。私は借りずに上のみ長袖ラッシュガードを来ていました。10月でしたが寒くはなかったです。
船上では陽気なクルーがホスピタリティーをもってもてなしてくれ、みんなで楽しい気分で時間を過ごすことができました。クルージングをしながら西オアフの山々を眺め、虹をみつけ、イルカがみつかり、次々に飛び込みます。かなり深いですし、波もありますが、ここは必死でクルーについていき、たくさんのイルカをみることができました。サンゴ礁の海の中で自由に泳いでいる野生のイルカをみるのは、なんとも素敵な体験でした。イルカは数十頭いて、5-10頭で固まって泳いでいて、次々に近くにきました。
満足した気分で船にあがりましたが、何人かが船酔い・波酔いではいてました。私も吐き気止めを飲んで乗船しましたが、普段酔わない人でも、吐き気止めは必須かと思います。また、酔いやすい人は、船の中でもオープンな甲板に座るほうがよさそうです。このタイミングでパイナップルをもらいました。
その後、3曲フラダンスを踊ってくれ(プロのフラダンサーの女の子でかわいくて素敵でした)、ウミガメスポットで1時間弱シュノーケルしました。ウミガメは3匹、魚もたくさんいて、とても楽しいシュノーケルでした。また、カヤックや滑り台(船の上から海にとびこみます)もできます。童心にかえり、遊びました。その後、船上でチーズバーガー(タロイモの紫のパンズ)とマウイチップスを食べました。船上の素晴らしい景色を見ながらのバーガーはとてもおいしかったです。最後にクルーと参加者全員で写真をとり、これはメールで無料で送ってくれます。ちなみに船上では水とレモネードが飲み放題です。
参加者が多かったからか、フラレッスンは案内がありませんでした。
船からおりたら港のトイレ(ひろくてきれいです)にいきますが、ここでササっと着替えることをお勧めします。
上記の流れになりますが、よく練られた構成で、イルカもウミガメもばっちり見えましたり、大満足のツアーでした。ぜひもう一度参加したいです。
It wasn't exactly as I imagined, with an abundance of always beautiful fish, but the experience of riding in a submarine is something you don't get to do often, so I'm glad I participated. I joined with my 80-year-old mother, and we were able to enjoy it without any issues.
想像していた程、常に綺麗なお魚がいっぱいというわけでは有りませんでしたが、潜水艦に乗るという体験は中々出来る事ではないので、参加して良かったと思います。80歳の母と参加しましたか問題なく楽しめました。
Thank you very much for participating in the submarine tour.
We are very pleased that you and your 80-year-old mother were able to enjoy the underwater scenery of Hawaii together.
Experiencing a ride on a submarine and exploring the ocean floor is something quite rare.
We look forward to your next participation.

There were plenty of slides, and I was able to enjoy them without waiting in line. Additionally, there was a wave pool and a lazy river where I could relax. I recommend going with family or friends.
スライダーがいっぱいあり、そこまで並ばずに乗れたので楽しめました。
また、波のプールや流れるプールもあり癒しの一時を過ごすことができました。
家族連れや友達みんなで行くことをおすすめします。
It was a very fulfilling day, even though I was exhausted after jumping into the sea five times! I want to go again! Next time, I hope to meet Professor Whale.
5回も海に飛び込んでヘトヘトながらもとっても充実した1日でした!
また行きたいです!
こんどはクジラ大教授にも会いたいな。
Thank you for participating. We're glad you enjoyed it. We look forward to your next participation!
ご参加頂きましてありがとうございました。お楽しみ頂けて何よりです。またのご参加をお待ちしております!
This time, we all went to Hawaii for my wedding, with friends and family joining us.
However, the sandbar did not appear...
We miscalculated the timing.
We went from morning until noon.
With this timing, we had to leave before the tide went out.
Since we had a little one with us, we planned to leave early, but it's better to stay until the afternoon!
When we stayed until the afternoon, we were able to see it!!
It's really beautiful when you can see it☆
今回は私の結婚式でみんなでハワイに行き、友達も私の家族もいてみんなで行きました。
しかし、サンドバーは現れず…
時間帯に失敗しました。
私たちが行ったのは朝からお昼まで。
この時間帯だと水が引ける前に帰ることになります。
チビがいたから早めに帰るプランにしましたが、昼過ぎまでいたほうがいいです!
昼過ぎまでいた時は見れました!!
見れるととても綺麗ですよ☆
It was my first submarine tour, and the interior wasn't too cramped, plus the windows were large, so we had a great time. My elementary school daughter was also very excited and happy.
They mentioned a commemorative Atlantis Dive Log (dive record) as a gift, but we were just directed to the exit and didn't receive it. I wonder if I should have said something. (I did receive information about Atlantis Submarine, but I wonder if this counts as a boarding memento?)
初めての潜水艦ツアーでしたが、艦内はそれほど狭くもなく窓も大きく楽しく過ごせました。
小学生の娘も大興奮で喜んでいました。
搭乗記念のアトランティス・ダイブログ(潜水記録)をプレゼント!…とありましたが、そのままお帰り口へ案内され、いただけませんでした。
言わないとだめだったんでしょうか。
(アトランティスサブマリンのご案内はもらったのですが、これが搭乗記念になるのかな?)
Thank you very much for participating in the submarine tour.
We are very pleased that you were able to enjoy the underwater scenery of Hawaii with your child.
The commemorative "Atlantis Dive Log" and the "Atlantis Submarine Guide" are the same item. We apologize for any confusion this may have caused.

I was able to see a sea turtle while snorkeling. It is said that for every sea turtle you see, something happy happens. During the snorkeling, I was able to take photos with a waterproof camera, and there was a cheerful atmosphere throughout as participants and staff took pictures for each other.
シュノーケル中にウミガメが泳いでいるのを見ることができました。ウミガメが1匹見るごとに1つ幸せなことが起きるといわれているそうです。シュノーケル中に防水カメラで写真が撮ることができ、参加者同士やスタッフの方に写真を撮ってもらうなど、終始にこやかな雰囲気でした。
Aloha! This is the Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour.
It was truly lucky to encounter a sea turtle, which is said to bring good fortune.
We hope you can return to Hawaii again! Please come back to Paradise Ocean when you do.
All of our staff, along with the sea turtles, are looking forward to that day. Mahalo!
アロハ!キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーです。
幸運を運んでくると呼ばれるウミガメ。遭遇出来て本当にラッキーでしたね。
またきっとハワイに戻って来れますように!!そのときはまた天国の海に遊びに来て下さい。
その日をスタッフ一同ウミガメとともにお待ちしております。マハロ!
The weather was nice, and I was able to see the sea turtles and coral clearly. The local staff were friendly, making it a satisfying tour.
天気がよくウミガメも珊瑚もクリアに見ることができました。
現地スタッフもフレンドリーな対応で満足のツアーになりました。
The weather was absolutely perfect. I got to see sea turtles, and snorkeling was amazing. The hamburger was delicious too. They lend you snorkeling gear, but I should have brought my own! There were a lot of fish, but the water was a bit murky, so Okinawa might be clearer. However, the guide was really nice!
天気が最高によかった。ウミガメも見れたし、シュノーケルが最高。ご飯もハンバーガー美味しかった。シュノーケルは貸してもらえるけど自分の持っていけばよかった!魚もたくさんいたけど、海は少し濁ってたから、沖縄の方が綺麗かも。。だけど、ガイドさんも素敵なかんじだった!!
It was a very nice day, so it felt really good to go. The water was about knee-deep to waist-deep. I didn't expect much from the barbecue lunch, but it was surprisingly delicious, and I went back for seconds.
とても天気がいい日にいけたのでようでとても気持ちよかったです。
膝下の深さから、腰ぐらいの深さでした。
お昼のバーベキューランチも期待してなかったのですが、意外に美味しくておかわりをしました。
Aloha! Thank you for joining the tour the other day. I'm really glad to hear that you enjoyed the sandbar and the meal! In this tour, we ensure that you can enjoy not only the sandbar and snorkeling but also a meal carefully selected by our gourmet staff. Please do come back and visit us again when you come to Hawaii. Mahalo.
アロハ!先日はツアーにご参加ありがとうございます。
サンドバーそしてお食事も楽しんで頂けたとの事で本当に嬉しいです!
このツアーではサンドバー、シュノーケルはもちろんのことお食事も楽しんで頂けるようグルメなスタッフが吟味を重ねたうえで提供させて頂いております。
またハワイにお越しに際はぜひ!遊びに来て下さいね。マハロ。
I had a hard time finding them and searched by boat, but I'm glad I was able to reach the westernmost sea! When we saw them, they were swimming quickly, so we couldn't watch for long, but we were able to see the dolphins up close and even heard their ultrasonic conversations, which was amazing! The staff and guides were also very lively, making it a truly enjoyable memory! When I go to Hawaii again, I definitely want to enroll again!
なかなか出会えず船で探しましたが、最西端の海にいけたのでよかったです!
私たちがみたときは泳ぐスピードが速くて長くは見れませんでしたが、イルカも近くで見れて超音波の会話?まで聞こえて感動しました!
スタッフ、ガイドさんもノリがよくとても楽しい思い出になりました!
またハワイに行ったときは必ずまた入学したいです!
Thank you for participating. We're glad you enjoyed it. We look forward to your next participation!
ご参加頂きましてありがとうございました。お楽しみ頂けて何よりです。またのご参加をお待ちしております!
My husband and I participated in the tour.
Due to the large number of participants, we departed in two groups, but it turned out to be very lucky for us to be in a smaller group!
The explanations were incredibly thorough, and I don't think there are many tours in Japan that provide such detailed information.
The staff were all friendly and created a wonderful atmosphere (^_^).
When we finally saw dolphins, it was truly moving! Although they were a bit far away, seeing a pod of dozens of them was breathtaking! It was thanks to the captain and the staff's keen eyes (T ^ T).
And miraculously, we spotted a whale! It disappeared in an instant, but I believe it was a miracle to see one at this time of year.
The most thrilling moment was swimming with sea turtles, which had been a dream of mine! Being able to see them up close and having several appear was absolutely amazing! I'm already hooked.
I am filled with gratitude for all the staff! Thank you very much. I believe this tour is worth more than the price.
主人と利用させていただきました。
1便が人数が多いため2便での出発になりましたが、少人数で逆にとてもラッキーでした!
説明が本当に丁寧で、日本でもここまで説明してくれるツアーはそうないと思います。
スタッフの皆さんも和気あいあいでとてもいい雰囲気でした(^_^)
念願のイルカを見れた時は本当に感動!!
少し遠かったですが、数十頭の群れをなす姿は圧巻
でした!
船長やスタッフさんの千里眼のおかけです(T ^ T)
そして、奇跡的にクジラの姿を目撃しました!
一瞬でいなくなってしまいましたが、この時期に見れたのは奇跡だと思います。
そして1番の感激は 夢だった海ガメと泳げたこと!
あんなに間近で見られて、何頭も現れてくれて本当に最高でした!
もうやみつきです。
全てスタッフさんのおかげで、感謝でいっぱいです!
ありがとうございます。
お値段以上のツアーだと思います。
Thank you for participating. We're glad you enjoyed it. We look forward to your next participation!
ご参加頂きましてありがとうございました。お楽しみ頂けて何よりです。またのご参加をお待ちしております!
we found this luau great ,the view was amazing, the show wonderful ,shuttle bus staff fantastic our only problem was the food , we were the last table called up and some of the food had run out and also we didn't really like the food there just was not enough variety
Tony our bus driver was exceptional. He was informative of the Island. We were picked up at the Hiton Hawaiian and proceeded to Punch Bowl Cemetery. That was a beautiful resting place for the fallen. We then drove to Pearl Harbor and Tony walked in the Park with us, gave us are tickets and pointed out where we were to go and what time. Tony was very hands on with our group and very caring of our journey into Pearl Harbor.
After our visit to the Memorial of which I cried, actually it was very overwhelming to be there and fully felt a piece of history unfolding. Quite an experience, a must see if you go to Honolulu. We then had time to explore the gift shops and proceeded back to the bus, which Tony was waiting on us with mints and a hand towel to wash our hands. Tony is something else. We then started to our way back to the hotel drop off location.
Please don't use anyone but this group, the whole experience was OUTSTANDING.
Maholo,
Julie & Scott Brady from NC
My wife and I participated together. We joined without much expectation, but a humpback whale jumped right in front of us!! It was so exciting to see the tail slapping the surface of the water, and the dynamic jumps called breaching using its pectoral fins, just like we often see on TV!! How can you not be thrilled by this!!! The staff also said, "very very lucky!!" and were excited. It was a great tour.
妻と二人で参加しました。そんなに期待せずに参加しましたが、ザトウクジラが目の前でジャンプしました!!テレビでよく見る尾びれで海面をたたく、胸びれを使ってブリーチングと呼ばれるダイナミックなジャンプまで!!これが興奮せずに居られますか!!!スタッフさんも「very very lucky !!」と言って興奮してました。良いツアーでした。
Thank you very much for boarding with us.
It must have been exciting to see a humpback whale jump right in front of you! Thank you for sharing such a wonderful experience. As December approaches, we will soon welcome whale season. We hope you will come to see the whales again this season. All of our staff are looking forward to your next visit.

It was a fantastic time, except for the cold water that came up to my waist during high tide! I was amazed by the beautiful sea, just like in the pictures!! A turtle even swam close to me (*^^)v The light meal was really delicious sandwiches, even better than they looked (sorry for the assumption) ★★★ I will definitely join again the next time I go to Hawaii!
満潮時間だったので腰まで浸かる水が冷たかったこと以外は最高の時間でした!
お写真通りの綺麗な海に感動!!
カメさんも近くまで泳いで来てくれました(*^^)v
軽食も見た目以上に(失礼)本当に美味しいサンドイッチでした★★★
次回ハワイに行くときも絶対に参加します!
I participated alone while everyone else was in groups, but I never felt lonely at all. I was able to enjoy myself, focusing solely on the dolphins and sea turtles. I was very satisfied to not only see the dolphins but also hear their voices, and I got to see the sea turtle professor as well. I want to participate again!
女子1人での参加で他はみなさん複数人で参加でしたが、1人で寂しい思いをする事は全くなく、イルカとウミガメの事だけを考えて楽しく過ごせました。実際イルカはもちろん、イルカの声も聞けて、ウミガメ教授も見る事ができて大満足でした。
また参加したい!
Thank you for participating. We're glad you enjoyed it. We look forward to your next participation!
ご参加頂きましてありがとうございました。お楽しみ頂けて何よりです。またのご参加をお待ちしております!
There are so many attractions at Pearl Harbor from the USS Arizona Memorial, USS Bowfin, USS Missouri, Pacific Aviation Museum and USS Oklahoma Memorials. We recommend spending 6-8 hours to do the entire passport. We also recommend purchasing the docent tour led by volunteers at the Pacific Aviation Museum. Everyone respected all of the memorials and it was a great place to pay respects to those lost in a Pacific tragedy.
This time, I participated in an activity at the prestigious Dolphin University for the first time. I had never experienced snorkeling before, so I was anxious about keeping up with everyone, but thanks to the fun instructors' guidance, I was able to see wild spinner dolphins right from the start. Since they were wild, I learned various things, such as the cute sounds of the dolphins, the scars they have from surviving in nature (like from battles with sharks), and how the pods move.
However, not everyone was able to observe the spinner dolphins, so we tried multiple times, and finally, on the third attempt, everyone succeeded. I had signed up for stand-up paddleboarding because I wanted to experience it, but due to time constraints, we were unable to do it. I was quite disappointed about that. However, I felt a strong sense of unity with my classmates as we all aimed for success, which was very moving.
During snorkeling, I was able to see many fish, but the guide was feeding them with bread or something, so if we were focused on wild dolphins and wild sea turtles, I wish they had also emphasized keeping it wild in that aspect. Nevertheless, the tour at the prestigious Dolphin University was overall very enjoyable, and I was able to encounter the dolphins I was aiming for, so I am very satisfied.
今回、初めて名門イルカ大学さんのアクティビティーに参加させて頂きました。私は、今までシュノーケリングなどを経験したことがなかったので、周りついていけるか不安でしたが、楽しいインストラクターの方々の誘導により、一発目から野生のスピナードルフィンをみることができました。野生だったので、可愛いイルカの声や、自然界を生き抜いていることによる傷跡(サメ等と戦った後)、そして群れがどのように動いていくのか等と、様々なことを知ることができました。
ただ、全員がスピナードルフィンを観測できたわけではなかったので、何度もトライをし、ついに三回目で全員成功となりました。
スタンドアップパドルを体験したく、こちらの名門イルカ大学さんに申し込みを入れましたが、時間がおした関係で、スタンドアップパドルをする事ができなくなってしまいました。今回、その点はとても残念でした。しかし、クラスメイト全員で成功をさせよう!という団結力も久しぶりに味わい、なんだかとっても感動いたしました。
また、シュノーケリングの際にはたくさんのお魚をみる事が出来ましたが、ガイドの方がパン?か何かで魚に餌付けをしていたので、野生のイルカや野生のウミガメなどにこだわっていたのならば、
そこも野生にこだわって欲しかったなぁと思います。
ですが、今回の名門イルカ大学さんのツアーは
全体的にとても楽しく、目当てのイルカにもしっかりと遭遇する事が出来たため、
とても満足しています。
Thank you for participating. We're glad you enjoyed it. We look forward to your next participation!
ご参加頂きましてありがとうございました。お楽しみ頂けて何よりです。またのご参加をお待ちしております!
I think there aren't many opportunities to ride a submarine, even if it's smaller than the underwater world in Hawaii, so I decided to participate. It's great! The kids will enjoy it too! It doesn't take much time either.
ハワイの海底云々より小さくても潜水艦てなかなか乗る機会ないとおもい参加しました。良いですよ!子供達も喜びますし!時間もそんなにかからないので。
Thank you very much for participating in the submarine tour.
We are very pleased that you were able to enjoy the underwater scenery of Hawaii with your child. The submarine boarding area is located at the Hilton Hawaiian Village in Waikiki, which is convenient for transportation, and I believe it is a tour that you can easily join even amidst a busy schedule.
We sincerely look forward to your next visit.

We decided to go to Sea Life Park because my 6-year-old daughter expressed her wish to meet dolphins. Since it was a special opportunity, we participated with 10 family members.
It was unfortunate that my daughter was not old enough to join the program to swim with the dolphins, but she was really happy to interact with them. We purchased all three photos of her, and they are displayed at home. She happily says, "I got to shake hands with the dolphin and even gave it a kiss!" Both children and adults had a wonderful time, and we were very satisfied.
However, there was one point of concern.
I had read on the website that DVDs could also be purchased, so I planned to buy one. But when we went to the photo area, we were told that there were no DVDs available. Was a reservation required for the DVD in advance? I received explanations in Japanese on-site, and while they mentioned the photos, there was no explanation about the DVDs. Therefore, I assumed it was similar to the photos, where those who wanted them could purchase them. Since the DVD was something my child was looking forward to the most on this trip, it was disappointing that we couldn't buy it.
6歳の娘の「イルカに会いたい」との希望で、シーライフパークに行くことに。
せっかくの機会だからと、親族10名で参加しました。
イルカと一緒に泳ぐプログラムは、まだ年齢が満たなかったのが残念でしたが、
娘はイルカと触れ合えたことが本当に嬉しかったようです。
写真も娘のものは、3カット全て購入し、家で飾っています。
「イルカさんと握手♪チュもできたの~」といいながら嬉しそうに見ています。
子供も大人も、とっても素敵な時間を過ごすことができて、大満足でした。
ですが、気になった点が1つほど。
こちらのサイトで、DVDも購入できるように書いてあったので、それも購入予定
でいたのですが、写真のところに行ってみると、DVDはないとの返事でした。
DVDは先に予約などが必要だったのでしょうか?
現地で日本語で説明を受けたのですが、写真のことは言っておられましたが、
DVDのことは何も説明はありませんでした。そのため、写真と同じように、
撮られており、ほしい人が購入するのだと思っていました。
子供が今回の旅行で一番楽しみにしていたものだっただけに、DVDが購入でき
なかったのは残念でした。
Had a great time! We enjoyed ourselves on the tour :)...
I participated in Heaven's Sea with high expectations, and I was completely satisfied! I had researched the tide in advance, so I knew it would be high tide, and after landing on the sandbar, I didn't have to worry about the rising water level. More than that, we were blessed with great weather, and I could feel the blue of the sky and the blue of the sea all around me. The tour ended in the blink of an eye. Fun times always seem to fly by, right? (laughs) During the tour, I was also able to see a honu! I definitely want to go back to Heaven's Sea.
かなり期待をして参加した天国の海、もう大満足でした!潮位も予め調べて参加したので、満ち潮であることも調査済みでしたので、サンドバーに上陸後、水位が上がってきても気にすることはありませんでした。それよりも、天気に恵まれ、空の青、海の青を全身で感じることが出来、ツアーはあっという間に終わりました。楽しい時間はすぐに終わってしまいますね笑
ツアー中はホヌにも会うことが出来ました!天国の海、是非また行きたいです。
On the bus heading to the sandbar, a cheerful older man was talking non-stop in English, so it might be tough for those who are not good at English. Since the air conditioning was very strong, I think it's a good idea to bring something to wear over your clothes.
As for the sandbar... I had imagined it based on the photos on the website, but in reality, the water came up to about my waist. I guess it's my fault for not knowing that was a possibility.
The BBQ lunch was just a regular hamburger. It was quite ordinary.
I think I saw about two sea turtles?
For snorkeling, they took us to a place with coral and said, "Please feel free to swim." The weather was bad and it was very cold.
I was disappointed because I had high expectations. I felt it was a waste to spend a whole day like this. If the weather had been good, it might have been different.
サンドバーへ向かうバスの中は、陽気なおじさんがひたすら英語でしゃべっていたので、英語が苦手な方はつらいかも?クーラーガンガンなので、羽織るものを持っていくとよいと思います。
サンドバーは。。。HPに掲載されている写真をイメージしていましたが、実際は腰の辺りまで海面がきていました。その可能性があること知らなかった自分が悪いですね。
BBQランチはただのハンバーガーです。至って普通です。
ウミガメは2頭ぐらい見えたかな?って感じです。
シュノーケリングも、サンゴのある所に連れて行ってくれて、「どうぞ自由に泳いでください」みたいな感じです。天気も悪く、とても寒かったです。
期待しすぎた分、がっかりしました。私は、これで一日がつぶれるのはもったいないと感じました。天気が良ければ違ったかもしれませんね。
This was one of the most enjoyable and informative tours I have been on, Tiffany was an excellent and knowledgeable host this tour offers more than the tour description indicates and includes detailed interesting natural fauna information. I can highly recomend this very enjoyable tour and is excellent value for money the shrimp meal was enjoyable. Well done Tiffany for making our day day an enjoyable one.
Aloha Eric,
Thank you for your great review, and awesome praise of Tiffany. We will be sure to let her know how much you appreciated her tour. We are thrilled you had a great day, and got an amazing experience with her knowledge and information. That is the Oahu Nature Tour Difference. We hope you join us on another one of our adventures the next time you are in Oahu.
Mahalo,

Great crew as it was full service. Food and drinks were good and plenty to go around. Water was very clear. We saw a white tip shark, turtle, plenty of colorful fish and an amazing starfish which was like a spider. Ross was our personal Snubba coach and he was top professional. Yes we would do it again.
I participated in the garden tour at the Bishop Museum. I took the city bus, which took about 45 minutes, and arrived before the opening. The gate was open, so I relaxed in the garden and took some photos. The garden tour with a Japanese guide started at 9:15.
I learned about the names and origins of the plants, heard Hawaiian folklore, and had the unique experience of cracking kukui nuts and touching them, which I couldn't have done without the guide. The bracelet I made became my souvenir.
I highly recommend that after the garden tour, you don't leave right away but continue to spend time at the Bishop Museum. There are many hands-on exhibits where you can play and touch traditional Hawaiian instruments, making it a lot of fun for both kids and adults. The planetarium was also great.
ビショップミュージアムのガーデンツアーに参加してきました。
市バスに乗り、約45分。開園前に到着。ゲートは開いていたので、お庭でまったりして、写真を撮って。9時15分から日本語ガイドさんにて園内のガーデンツアー開始。
植物の名前や由来を聞いてハワイ昔話を聞いて、ククイナッツを割って実際に触るなど、ガイドさん無しでは出来ない体験をすることができました。作ったブレスレットは自分のお土産に。
ぜひ、オススメしたいのは、ガーデンツアーの後、すぐに帰らずに引き続き、ビショップミュージアムで過ごすこと。ハワイの伝統楽器の音を出したり、触ったり、体験型の展示が多いので、すごく楽しめます。子供も大人も。プラネタリウムも良かったです。
