All Reviews for Toddler Friendly (Ages 2-4)

I participated with my 80-year-old mother. The guides were really kind and carried my mother to the sandbar. Thank you very much. Since the weather can change quickly, it's good to have something to cover up with, as well as an umbrella or raincoat. Bring a swimsuit, shorts, beach sandals, and a hotel towel. You can get on the bus just as you are on the way back. The snorkeling time is quite short, so it's best to think of it as just a little experience. You can see sea turtles and take photos at the sandbar, making for a really enjoyable half-day.

80才の母と参加しました。ガイドさんたちが本当に親切で、母を抱えてサンドバーまで連れてきてくれました。ありがとうございました。天候が変わりやすいので何かはおるものと傘か合羽があると良いです。水着に短パン、ビーチサンダル、ホテルのタオル。帰りはそのままバスに乗り込めます。シュノーケルの時間はほんの少しなので、体験程度と思った方が良いです。ウミガメを見たりサンドバーで写真を撮ったり、なかなか楽しい半日が過ごせますよ。

The day we arrived at the sandbar was just at low tide, so we were able to stay for about two hours. We snorkeled and took photos. We were also able to see honu (sea turtles) nearby. I had seen it in commercials and had always wanted to visit, and it was indeed a beautiful place, just as I expected. I think it's a good idea to check the tide schedule before booking a tour.

サンドバーにあがったその日はちょうど干潮でしたので２時間くらい滞在することができました。シュノーケルしたり写真を撮ったり。近くではホヌ(海がめ)を見ることもできました。ＣＭでも見たことがあって、一度は行ってみたいと思っていましたが、予想通りほんとに綺麗な場所でした。ツアーに参加予約される前に潮の干満を調べておいた方が良いと思います。

Unfortunately, the weather was rainy, and it was quite cold to enter the pool.
But I really got to touch the dolphins and even kiss and shake hands with them!
I felt like I became the dolphin show lady I dreamed of as a child!
With this cheaper plan, there are only two options for shaking hands and kissing, and you can't swim with the dolphins or have them push you while swimming.
However, there is plenty of time, and since it's a small group, I'm satisfied.
The instructor can speak some Japanese, although it's limited.
The park is small for spending a whole day here, so I think it's a good idea to combine this with other plans.

あいにく天候は雨で、プールに入るのはさすがに寒かったのです。
でも本当にイルカに触れてキスや握手ができました！
小さい頃の夢、イルカショーのお姉さんになれた気分です！
こちらの安価な方のプランでは握手とキスの二種類だけで、イルカと一緒に泳いだり、足を押してもらって泳ぐことはできません。
でも時間は十分ありますし、少人数で出来るので満足です。
インストラクターの方も片言ではありますが、日本語が通じます。
丸一日ここで過ごすには狭い園内ですので、他と合わせてプランを立てるのもいいと思います。

Reccomend this activity for those who can swim and in good shape. I've always wanted to scuba dive and this was a great solution without buy equipment.Ross was the instructor who took great care for our safety. Fish, starfish, urchins, shark and a huge turtle were seen. Fabulous experience.

I chose the deluxe plan with lunch included. The transportation and attractions were good, but the all-you-can-eat lunch was less impressive than I expected. Even though it was an all-you-can-eat option, it was only available from 12 to 1 PM, and there was no announcement to remind us of the time. What if you get so caught up in the fun that you miss it?

The steak was delicious, but when I drank my cola, I found ants at the bottom! I didn't want that, so I went to throw it away and found 5 or 6 ants in the cup! I thought the color of the cola would hide them, so I tried Sprite next, and then a bee came out... The staff mentioned that they try to catch bugs that get into the drink machine, but I couldn't help but think, are they really serving drinks with bugs in them? That shocking experience left a bigger impression on me than the attractions did.

ランチ付きのデラックスプランにしました
送迎、アトラクションともに良かったですが、ランチの食べ放題が思ってよりはショボかったです。そもそも食べ放題とはいえ12〜13時までと時間が決まっていて、時間を教えてくれるアナウンスなどもなく、遊びに夢中で食べそびれたらどうなるのでしょうか？
ステーキは美味しくいただきましたが、コーラを飲んだら底に蟻が！
嫌なので捨てにいったら5〜6匹コップに入っていました！
コーラだと色で見えないと思い、今度はスプライトを入れたら蜂がでてきました、、、
ドリンクマシンの中に虫がはいりこむので、最初に虫取りをしてるんですが…と係の人が言ってましたが、虫の入ってたジュースだしてんのかよ！と思っちゃいました
アトラクションよりも、その衝撃のほうが印象にのこりました

This is what we came to see in Hawaii. It did not disappoint. The audio head set is a must. It kept us on time. It was a stormy rainy day - all day which didn't really matter it was very somber.
My only regret was that I didn't bring my lae that I received at the airport. You can throw flowers at the Arizona.

The day we participated was cloudy, and the water level was high, so we couldn't see the sandbar. However, the water was incredibly clear, and it was transparent in the shallow areas. In the snorkeling spots, it was a bit dark and murky, but we could see plenty of fish and coral. And the hamburger for lunch was really delicious! (laughs)

私たちが参加した日は曇りで水位も高くサンドバーは見れませんでした‐‐；
ですが水はめちゃくちゃ綺麗で浅瀬では透き通っていました。シュノーケリングする所では
多少暗くて濁ってはいましたが、魚や珊瑚もばっちり見れました＾＾
そしてお昼のハンバーガーがめっちゃ美味しかったです！！(笑)

Snorkeling was fun! I was able to see fish! On the way back on the bus, it was too cold. I wished they wouldn't blast the air conditioning since everyone was wet.

シュノーケリング楽しかった！魚もみれました！帰りのバスの中、寒すぎ。みんな体濡れているから、クーラーガンガンつけないでほしかった

Ah Man! What an amazing trip. I was a bit weary on the afternoon of since the weather report was not promising any sun. But the sunset was probably the most beautiful I have ever seen. The colors that crusted the clouds were just tear jerking. The crew was so friendly and laid back, food was healthy and tasty, beer was cold, the coastline was misty, water dark blue ... it felt so good to be there at that moment. Cheers to Ocean Joy and VELTRA for making this short trip back to the islands so much fun.

This sail packs in so much in the perfect amount of time. Not only do you get to sail along the west coast of Oahu, but you get to visit a great snorkel spot, eat your fill of delicious food and guzzle down lots of drinks!

I have done a lot of regular dinner cruises in Hawaii and in other states, but this one is definitely the most unique and you totally get a great bang for your buck. Since you are on the west side, you are literally right there as the sun dips below the horizon, and with a steady stream of drinks and as much food as you can eat, there isn't anything better!!!

The drive is like 40 minutes from Waikiki, but the transportation was comfortable and on-time. Great option if you don't want to drive and definitely a "must do" if everyone in your party is planning on knocking back a few.

Be sure to bring some cash to buy the photos that they take of you. The photographer is fantastic and takes TONS of pictures throughout the cruise, both in and out of the water. They put it on a USB drive for you and that way you don't have to worry about snapping shots and can just focus on having fun ^_^

Best. Dinner. Snorkel. Sunset. Cruise. EVAR!

This was my first time participating, and since it was our honeymoon in Hawaii, I decided to join because I heard there was a place to swim with dolphins. I had been to Hawaii a few times before, but this was a special occasion.

Swimming with dolphins has been a dream of mine since childhood, and I was nervous the day before, but once I got on the bus, the powerful staff's stories were so entertaining that my sleepiness and anxiety disappeared!

Since the dolphins are wild, there’s no guarantee you’ll see them, so I was excited as we boarded the boat. Just five minutes after boarding, we suddenly encountered a pod of dolphins. The clear sea and the dolphins swimming together were truly mystical, and I experienced emotions like never before. I was overwhelmed to have this experience three times!

The program was already more than enough, but during the snorkeling afterward, I was able to see many turtles and Hawaiian fish, and I even got to try paddle surfing, which I had always wanted to do. I was very satisfied!

The hamburger for lunch was also very delicious! It was impressive how everyone came together for the final hula dance, creating a lively atmosphere.

I want to bring my children here someday! It became a wonderful memory!

今回初めての参加でした、新婚旅行でのハワイ、ハワイには何回かは行っていたのですがイルカと泳げる所があると言うことで新婚旅行だったので初めて参加しようと決めました。
小さい頃からの夢、イルカと泳ぐ事が出来ると前日から緊張していたのですが、バスに入ったらパワフルなスタッフの方の話がとても面白く眠さと緊張も吹き飛びました!!

イルカは野生なので100%出会えるわけではないと言うことでドキドキしながらボートに乗船、乗船してから5分後いきなりイルカに出会える事が出来ました、透き通る海にイルカの群れがなんとも神秘的で今までにない感動を味わいました、それも三回も味わう事が出来て感無量でした。

これまでのプログラムでも充分でしたが、その後のシュノーケルでは亀やハワイの魚と沢山見るとことができ、一度やってみたかったパドルサーフィンにもチャレンジ出来て大満足でした!!

ランチのハンバーガーもとてもおいしく!!最後みんなでやるフラダンスで一致団結して盛り上がったのも印象的でした。

子供が出来たら連れていきたいと思います!!とてもよい思い出になりました！

This time, I participated in a family trip with three generations. Since I have a 0-year-old and a 2-year-old, I chose this tour that allows children to join. The guide was very kind and attentive to the kids. Additionally, we were able to take photos in various poses, resulting in wonderful memories. I would like to participate again the next time I go to Hawaii.

今回は3世代での家族旅行で参加させて頂きました。0歳と2歳の子供がいるので子供参加オーケーのこのツアーを選びました。
ガイドの方は大変親切で子供にも気を配って頂きました。また、写真を様々なポーズで撮って頂きとても良い思い出写真が出来ました。次回ハワイに行く際もまた参加したいと思います。

Last year, I couldn't participate due to being fully booked because I applied at the last minute, but this year I made a reservation about two months in advance and was looking forward to it. The weather on the day was decent. I arrived with high hopes of what the heavenly sea would be like. The sandbar had water up to my knees. However, this was unavoidable due to the tide... I was expecting to see something during the next snorkeling session, but I found myself wondering what they wanted to show us at a point where we just lined up with masks and no fins, going back and forth a bit before it ended. I was left thinking that Hawaii is really not a place to play in the sea.

去年は間際の申し込みで満員のため果たせず、今年は約2ヶ月前に予約し楽しみにして参加しました。当日の天気はまずまず。さあ天国の海はどんな風かと期待に胸を膨らませ 到着。サンドバーは膝ぐらいまでの水の下。しかしこれも潮位のことでやむを得ない...。次のシュノーケリングで何かを...と期待していたけれどここで何を見せたいの？と思うポイントをマスクのみフィンなしで行列して少し往復しておしまい。？？？と思わせる海中の景色にハワイはやっぱり海で遊ぶところではないと深ーく思った次第です。

Best snorkel cruise I've been on! The crew were great and you can tell they enjoy their jobs. They were all friendly and personable. They made the experience what is was. Unfortunately I am bad with names, but the crew member who spoke all the different languages was fantastic and so was our photographer (local girl).

I had been searching for a tour where I could see and swim with dolphins in the ocean, and I finally found one. I was truly moved when I spotted a pod of dolphins swimming. Moreover, I was able to hear their calls, which was a very precious experience.

The underwater world was amazing, but the view of the mountains, landscapes, and sky from the surface was also incredibly beautiful. I was able to fully immerse myself in nature by diving and floating on my back.

After dolphin watching, there was free time for snorkeling, stand-up paddleboarding, and canoeing, allowing everyone to enjoy their time in the ocean. I was thrilled to swim alongside a sea turtle, and it was so cute.

Unfortunately, there was a sudden issue with another guest that required us to return to the port, so I was disappointed that I couldn't enjoy the anticipated BBQ on the boat or the hula lesson. However, I felt reassured by the crew's quick response and believe this is a tour I can participate in with confidence.

I would love to join again if the opportunity arises. The taro burger was also delicious.

海の中でイルカを見たり、泳げたり出来るツアーをずっと探していてやっと出会えたツアーです。
イルカの群れを見つけ泳ぐ姿を目にした時は本当に感動しました。
しかもイルカの鳴き声も聞くことが出来て、とても貴重な体験をさせていただきました。
水の中の世界も素晴らしかったけど、水面から見える山や、風景、空の景色も最高にきれいで、もぐったり、仰向けで浮かんだりと大自然を身体いっぱいに感じることが出来ました。
イルカウォッチングの後にはフリーのシュノーケルの時間やサップ、カヌー等のアクティビティもあり、海あそびをそれぞれが思い思いに、楽しむ時間もあり楽しかったです。
その時にウミガメも真横で一緒に泳ぐことが出来てうれしかったし、とてもかわいかったです。
途中他のお客さんにトラブルがあり急遽港に戻ることになったので、楽しみにしていた船上ＢＢＱやフラレッスンが楽しめなかったのがとても残念でしたが、その時のクルーの人達の迅速な対応を見て安心して参加出来るツアーだと思いました。
また機会があれば参加したいと思います。
タロイモバーガーも美味しかったです。

I was worried because it was early in the morning, but surprisingly, it was fine. I took a bus for about 45 minutes to the port, and after a 10-minute boat ride, we arrived at the sandbar. The short boat ride meant I didn't get seasick and was able to enjoy it fully. I had planned to go snorkeling, but unfortunately, it was canceled that day due to faster waves than usual. I hope to participate again next time and enjoy snorkeling. The excitement of standing on the sandbar is something you have to experience to understand. I'm glad I participated.

早朝なので心配していたのですが、意外に大丈夫でした。港まで45分位バスに乗り、10分位の乗船でサンドバーに着きました。短い乗船なので船酔いする事もなく十分楽しめました。シュノーケリングをする予定だったのですが、その日はいつもより波が速いとの事で中止になり残念でした。次回はまたぜひ参加してシュノーケリングを楽しめればと思います。サンドバーに立った時の感激は経験してみないとわかりません。参加して良かったと思っています。

This was my second time in Hawaii, and I experienced snorkeling for the first time on this tour.

I must say, the quality at this price is exceptional—wonderful sea, food, and time management. There are Japanese staff members present, and there are restrooms on the boat. Drinks are free, and alcohol, including beer and wine, is all $5, payable on the spot.

When sea turtles appear, the staff shouts, "Look at 9 o'clock! 3 o'clock! 1 o'clock!" as they briefly come up for air. I saw many of them too!

Moreover, this is the sea of Sandbar, where my favorite movie Top Gun, starring Tom Cruise, was filmed, as well as scenes from Pirates of the Caribbean. It was truly moving. I highly recommend it.

As the season changes, it can get a bit chilly. A jacket or something similar is essential, and there are warm drinks available. You can return to the hotel in your swimsuit!

This is a half-day optional tour, and it starts early but is very satisfying overall. Thank you very much!

Thanks to this experience, I am now planning my first diving trip in Kerama, Japan.

ハワイは二回目で、初のシュノーケルをこのツア－で体験しました。

ありがとうございました

お陰さまで、次は日本の慶良間に初ダイビングを予定してます。

I participated in a tour at the prestigious Dolphin University with a friend. The tour guide was very energetic and cheerful from start to finish. It was mentioned that it might take some time to find wild dolphins depending on the day, but just about five minutes after getting on the boat, we spotted dolphins! When I jumped off the boat to see them, I was moved to see a large group of about 30 dolphins swimming gracefully. Just when I thought it was over, the guide suggested we search a bit more. So, we got back on the boat and, while looking for dolphins again, we found them once more! The boat was brought close, and when I jumped in, they were really close!! It felt like I was swimming alongside the dolphins. I believe we were able to see the dolphins up close thanks to the guide who drove the boat ahead of the dolphins and gave us directions. Even after getting back on the boat, we continued to look for dolphins, and they swam close to the boat. I was constantly excited, as they were within reach if I stretched out my hand.

Next was the sea turtle exploration!
As an amateur, I had a hard time spotting where the sea turtles were, but when the guide pointed one out, I confirmed it was really swimming there. When I jumped in again, I was able to get close enough to touch it. Additionally, I saw colorful fish while snorkeling, making it a packed snorkeling experience. The fun didn’t stop there; we also got to experience kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding as part of the physical education class. For lunch, we had cheeseburgers, and we wrapped up with a hula dance, making it an incredibly full and amazing tour. I would love to participate again when I come back to Hawaii.

友達と2人で名門イルカ大学に参加させていただぎした。ツアーガイドのお姉さんは初めから最後までとても元気で明るく対応してくださいました。野生のイルカのため日によっては見つかるまでに時間がかかるということでしたが、船に乗って5分ほどしたところでイルカ発見！船から飛び降り中を見ると30頭ほどのイルカの大群が優雅に泳いでおりとても感動しました。ここで終わりかと思いきやもう少し探しましょう。とのことで再度、船の上にあがりイルカを探しているとまた発見！近くまで船を近づけてもらい飛び降りるとほんとに近い！！イルカの群れと一緒に泳いでるという感覚でした。イルカが泳ぐさきを先回りで船を運転し、指示をくれるガイドさんがいるおかげでこんなに近くでイルカが見れたのだと思います。また船に上がってもイルカを探し、船の近くにイルカがよってきて泳いでいました。ほんとに手を伸ばせば届く距離の位置で常にテンションが上がりっぱなしでした。

次に海亀散策！
素人目ではどこに海亀がいるのかなかなか見つけられませんでしたが、ガイドさんがいるー！とのことで確認すると、ほんとに泳いでました。また飛び込むとこれもほんとに触れる位置まで近づくことができました。その他にもカラフルな魚をシュノーケルしながら見れ盛りだくさんのシュノーケルでした。まだまだ終わらず体育の授業とこのとでカヤックとスタンドアップパドルも経験でき、お昼ご飯チーズバーガーがでて、最後はフラダンスでしめるというほんとに盛りだくさんのツアーで最高のツアーだったと思います。またハワイに来る時は参加したいと思いました。

I visited with my 2 and 5-year-old children. The weather was nice, but the water depth at the sandbar was up to my chest, so it was disappointing that we couldn't see the sandy beach sandbar. There was also an incident where the boat's engine broke down, but the staff made a great effort to keep the atmosphere lively, which I appreciated.

Since the water was deep, I had to carry the kids the whole time. The enjoyment really changes with the water depth, so I think it's important to check the low tide online and consider going when there's a higher chance of the sandbar being exposed. Also, it gets cold on the bus and after coming out of the sea, so a jacket and towel are essential!

2歳5歳の子連れです。
天気は良かったのですが、サンドバーでは水深ご胸まであったので砂浜のサンドバーが見れず残念。船のエンジンが故障するアクシデントもありましたが、スタッフの皆さんが一生懸命盛り上げようとしてくれて好感が持てました。
水深が深かったので、子供はずっと抱っこでした。水深によって楽しさが変わるので、ネットで干潮を調べてサンドバーが出る可能性が高い時の参加を検討すべきだと思います。またバスの中と海から出た後は寒いので、上着とタオルは必需品です！

On the third day in Hawaii, I participated in a tour. I joined hoping to see dolphins, but unfortunately, I couldn't see any today... It seems quite difficult to encounter wild dolphins. I think it's better to be prepared for that when you sign up. However, I was able to see a sea turtle while snorkeling, which was great. We snorkeled in fairly deep water. I'm not very good at swimming, so I was a bit scared at first, but it was fine since we were in a group. I think it's reassuring that the staff keeps a close watch on us. There was also a photographer who took pictures both on the boat and in the water. However, it costs about $60 to purchase the USB. The boat to the dolphin viewing area rocks quite a bit, so if you're prone to seasickness, it's best to take some motion sickness medication beforehand. Lastly, you can enjoy a cheeseburger made by the captain, which was delicious. They also perform hula dancing. I was really disappointed not to see dolphins, but I had fun seeing the sea turtles and fish.

ハワイ3日目にツアーに参加しました。
イルカを見たくて参加したのですが、今日は運悪く見ることができませんでした…
自然のイルカに会うことは中々難しいみたいです…
お申し込みの際はそれを覚悟の上で申し込みされた方がいいと思います。
でも、シュノーケルの時にウミガメが見れたのでよかったです。
結構、深いところでシュノーケルをしました。
あまり泳ぎが得意ではないので最初は少し怖かったですが、団体で行動するので大丈夫でした。
スタッフの方もしっかり見ていてくれるので安心だと思います。
カメラマンの方もいらっしゃるので船の上や海の中も撮影してくれます。
でも、USBを購入するのに$60ぐらいかかります。
イルカを見る場所に行くまでのボートがかなり揺れますので、酔いやすい方は事前に酔い止めを飲んでおいた方がいいです。
最後に、キャプテンが作るチーズバーガーが食べれます。
おいしかったです。
フラダンスを踊ってくれたりもします。
イルカが見れなくて本当に残念でしたが、ウミガメや魚が見られて楽しかったです。

After about 40 minutes of being jostled on the bus early in the morning, we boarded a boat from a port-like area and enjoyed sea turtle watching while basking in the morning sun! The guide's explanations were not only easy to understand but also entertaining! Whenever a sea turtle surfaced, the guide would let us know, allowing us to see many turtles. However, since the turtles only appear on the surface for a few seconds, it can be a bit challenging to take photos from the boat.

After watching the sea turtles, we arrived at a sandbar. The scenery was indescribably mysterious! It was hard to tell whether it was the sea or land, shallow or deep... It felt as if we had wandered into an uninhabited island, surrounded by endless sea and mountains. We had about 40 minutes of free time here, so we swam a little, went snorkeling, and enjoyed the view from the boat before breakfast.

To be honest, I didn't have high expectations for breakfast, but the sandwiches we ate in nature tasted exceptional. It was like having homemade rice balls in the mountains during a hike in Japan. I completely forgot about everything else and felt so liberated. This was the first time I experienced such a wonderful morning.

It seems that the water level varies depending on the day, so I definitely want to participate in this tour again. It's worth it even if you have to wake up early!

朝早くからバスで揺られること４０分前後・・・
港のような所から船に乗り、朝の陽射しを浴びながら、ウミガメウォッチング！！
ガイドさんの説明もわかりやすいうえに面白い！！
ウミガメが水面に這い上がってくると、ガイドさんが逐一教えてくださるので、沢山のウミガメを見ることができました。
しかし、ウミガメが水面に姿を現すのは数秒のことなので、船からだと撮影するのは少し難しいです。
ウミガメを見てサンドバーに到着。
何とも言えぬ不思議な景色！！
海なのか陸なのか、浅瀬なのか沖なのか・・・
無人島に迷い込んでしまったかのような錯覚に陥りそうなほどの、果てしない海。そして山。
ここでは４０分程の自由行動があったので、軽く泳いだりシュノーケリングをしたり、船からの景色を楽しみ、いざ朝食。
朝食は正直言って期待していませんでしたが、自然のなかで食べるサンドイッチは絶品に思えました。
日本で言うとハイキングの途中で、山の中で食べる手作りのおにぎりといったところでしょうか。
日頃のことはすべて忘れて、開放的になりましたね。
こんなに素敵な朝を迎えたのは初めてです。
日によって水位が違うみたいなので、是非また参加したいと思えるツアーでした。
朝が早くても行く価値ありです！！

The weather was favorable, and the view from the sky was amazing! Compared to a helicopter, there was less turbulence, and my mother, who is over 70, enjoyed the sightseeing flight without any issues and was very satisfied with the view of Waikiki from above. She even regretted not opting for a longer flight time (laughs). I am planning to try a course where I can pilot the aircraft myself next time.

天候に恵まれたこともあり、空からの眺めは最高でした！
ヘリコプターに比べ揺れも少なく、70歳すぎの母も問題なく遊覧飛行を満喫し、上空からのワイキキの景色に大満足しておりました。
もっと長い飛行時間にすればよかったと悔やんでいたほど（笑）
私は次回は自分で操縦するコースにトライしたいと目論んでおります。

This tour never gets old. Convenience is key, and it is always on time, and always with the snorkeling gear. Nothing is better than Hanauma Bay!!!

Come do this activity after you've been partaking a little too much on the first days of your vacation! Earlier is better due to the heat. Superb views of nearly a third of the island!

I don't think my wife and I, being over 60, would go alone, but thanks to our grandchildren, we made some wonderful memories. We experienced bodyboarding in the pool. While waiting in line with kids like our grandchildren, I felt a bit embarrassed, but once the bodyboarding started, I became completely absorbed and felt like a 60-year-old kid again. I would love to experience it again if I get the chance. As for the meals, since it was November, there were fewer people, so it wasn't a buffet, which was disappointing! It was a bento-style meal, but the portions were sufficient, and there were plenty of desserts.

絶対６０過ぎの我々夫婦だけでは、行かないと思いますが・・・孫のおかげで、楽しい思い出が出来ました。人口プールでボディーボード波乗り体験しました。孫のような子供たちの順番にまじって、待っている時ちょっぴりはずかしかったけれど、ボディーボードが始まったら夢中な６０歳になりました。チャンスがあればまた体験したいです。お食事は11月なので人数が少なくて、ビュフェでは無かったのが残念！お弁当方式でしたが、量は充分でした。デザートもたっぷり。

I joined this activity with my husband and 2yrs old son.
We all spent really good time:)

The day we went was cloudy, and the sea didn't look beautiful. The timing for the sandbar was also bad, so we couldn't see it. It was really disappointing. However, I was surprised by how delicious the hamburger we had for lunch on the boat was.

私たちが行った日は曇りがちで海もキレイに見えませんでした。サンドバーのタイミングも悪く見えず。ホントに残念でした。ただ、船の上で食べたランチのハンバーガーはすごく美味しくてビックリしました。

The pickup was at 9:25 in front of the hotel, but it was 20 minutes late. I was a bit anxious waiting for the first optional tour, thinking that maybe it wouldn't come since there were so many people around.

I chose the day when the water would be shallowest during my stay, but the water level was just below my knees. I was disappointed that I couldn't see the sandbar! However, the weather was nice, and after practicing snorkeling, we had lunch. We enjoyed delicious hamburgers before heading to the coral area. There were lots of fish, and I was lucky enough to see a sea turtle up close. We had an hour of snorkeling time, and my wife also enjoyed snorkeling without getting back on the boat. Time flew by, and we had a really fun time.

ホテル前で9時２５分ピックアップでしたが、２０分遅れ。最初のオプショナルツアーで周りに人がいっぱいいて、ひよっとしたら来ないのではとドキドキしながら待ってました。
滞在中、一番浅くなる日を選んだのですが、ひざ下の水位でした。サンドバーは見られず残念！しかし天気も良くシュノーケリングの練習をしてから昼食。おいしいハンバーガーを食べてから、サンゴのある場所に。魚がいっぱいいて、私は運よくウミガメを間近で見ることができました。１時間シュノーケルの時間がありましたが妻も船に上がることなくシュノーケリングを楽しみました。あっという間に時が過ぎ、とっても楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。

It was just the two of us participating with a friend. At first, I was a bit anxious since we were the only Japanese people there, but there were no problems at all. The bus ride seemed like a sightseeing shuttle, and if you understand a little English, you can enjoy it. I've seen various Hawaiian shows before, but this one was quite fun. Participating in the evening and being able to return to the hotel around 9 PM is also appealing. If you have no plans in the evening, I definitely recommend going!

友達と二人参加でした。
日本人が、私たちしかいなく最初不安になりましたが、なんの問題も有りませんでした。
行きのバスは、観光付きの送迎のようで、多少英語が分かれば楽しめます。
ハワイアンショーも今まで色々のもの見てますが、かなり楽しいです。
夕方からの参加で、程よい９時頃ホテルに戻れるのも魅力です。
夕方から予定がないなら、ぜひいったほうがいいですよ。

The early morning plan was great for making efficient use of the day. On the day of participation, we were blessed with good weather, and the sandbar conditions were excellent. There was a little time for snorkeling, but the visibility wasn't great. Since I was with my 8-year-old daughter, the nearly 30 minutes of snorkeling time was just right.

早朝プランは１日が効率よく使えてとても良かったです。
参加当日はお天気にも恵まれ、サンドバーの状態もよく最高でした＾＾
少しだけシュノーケルする時間があるのですが透明度などはいまいち・・・
８歳の娘と一緒だったので３０分弱のシュノーケルタイムはちょうどよかったです。
