The guide was helpful and quite friendly. Love the trip in total.
Omg... This was such an Amazing activity. Alberto was so awesome as our driver. We had the best time with him. He made it soooo much FUN!! The entire staff here was very friendly and went over and aboard for us!! These are a must do activities!! Great great experience!!
I had participated in a morning tour twice before, but I was drawn to this tour because of the BBQ lunch and snorkeling at the coral reef. We spent about an hour at the sandbar, including lunchtime, and then moved to the snorkeling spot for about another hour, enjoying the incredibly beautiful sea. The day I participated was sunny, and with the high temperatures of midsummer, the water was warm, so I didn't feel cold even after being in the sea for a long time. However, during cooler seasons, it might be tough on the body. I believe there was also a wetsuit rental service available.
The BBQ burgers grilled on the boat were very delicious. You can choose from about three types of juice, including cola and lemonade. On the way back, when I started to feel cold, I enjoyed some hot cocoa. My mother, who just turned sixty, was also very satisfied with the tour. I highly recommend giving it a try!
午前のみのツアーに2回参加したことがありましたが、BBQランチとサンゴ礁でのシュノーケリングに惹かれ、こちらのツアーを申し込みました。ランチタイムを含めサンドバーで約一時間、それからシュノーケリングのスポットへ移動して約一時間、十分過ぎるほど美しい海を堪能しました。参加した日は晴れ、また真夏の高い気温で水温は温かく、長時間海にいても寒くなることはなかったのですが、気温が下がる時期は体に堪えるかもしれません。たしかウェットスーツの貸出サービスもあったと思います。
船の上で焼いてくれるBBQバーガーもとても美味しかったです。ジュースはコーラ・レモネードなど三種類くらいから選べます。帰り道、体が冷えてくる頃にはホットココアを頂きました。還暦を迎えた母も大満足のツアーでした。是非お試しあれ!
Rain excluded all views. Otherwise nice hike. Driver courteous and informative
On the last day of my trip to Hawaii, I went for dinner. The location is easy to find, just one street west of the Royal Hawaiian Center. Of course, the food was good, and the wine wasn't too expensive, so I was satisfied.
ハワイ旅行の最後の日のディーナーで行きました。場所はロイヤルハワイアンセンターの一本西の道で分かりやすいところです。もちろん食事の内容も良く、ワインもそれ程高くなく、満足しました。
It was an amazing experience and a wonderful memory! From the morning pickup, the Japanese guide was waiting for us, which made us feel at ease. There is a port about a 50-minute drive from Waikiki, and we departed from there by boat! We arrived at the sandbar while seeing many sea turtles. We enjoyed taking photos and snorkeling. Since it is also a bay famous for being a movie filming location, the guide provided various explanations, which made it enjoyable. The sandwich we had on the way back on the boat was delicious too.
とても最高でいい思い出になりました!
朝のお迎えから日本のガイドの方が待っててくださり安心でした。ワイキキから50分位車で走ったところに港がありそこから船で出発! ウミガメをたくさん見ながらサンドバーに到着。写真撮影、シュノーケリングを楽しみました。映画のロケ地で有名な湾でもあるのでガイドさんが色々説明してくれて楽しめました。帰りの船の上で食べたサンドイッチも美味しかったです。
I checked the tide levels and times in advance to participate in the sandbar, and the water was about knee-deep in shallow areas. The water is clear. The wind was so strong that we couldn't set up the beach ball net on the sandbar. There are several staff members, so it's easy to get someone to take photos for you. On the day I participated, the wind was really strong, making snorkeling difficult, and there weren't many types of fish. Although we had an hour of free time, we couldn't stay in the water for that long. It was September 29, and the water temperature was quite low, so it might be better to wear a wetsuit in the future. The bus ride to and from the location was quite chilly. After snorkeling, there was a boat ride back to shore that took just under 30 minutes, and it was really cold. The men were shivering. Our boat had a cabin in the back, so we went inside to escape the wind, but most people were sitting where they first boarded and were exposed to the wind, so I recommend moving seats on the way back. The staff were cheerful and casually asked if we were okay.
サンドバーは、あらかじめ干潮時の水位と時間を調べて参加したのですが、浅いところで膝下くらいでした。水はキレイです。風が強くてサンドバーではビーチボールのネットがはれない位です。スタッフさんは数名居るので写真撮ってもらうのには困りません。参加日はとにかく風が強くてシュノーケルもやりにくいし、魚はそんなたくさん種類居ません。1時間自由時間ですが、そんな長時間ははいってられませんでした。9/29でしたが水温も結構低いので、この先はウエットスーツを着た方がいいかも。行き帰りのバスは相当冷えます。シュノーケルが終わってから岸まで船移動も30分弱有りますがすごく寒いです。男性もガタガタ震えていました。私たちの船は後方が部屋になっているので、中に入って風をしのぎましたが、大半の方は最初に乗り込んだ所の位置で、風を浴びていましたので、帰りは席移動をお勧めします。スタッフさんは明るくて困ってないか色々気さくに聞いてくれました。
I participated in a tour of the prestigious Dolphin University with a friend! I was excited because we were supposed to swim with wild dolphins and turtles!
In the morning, I was a bit anxious because the meeting time was early! But I was relieved that we arrived on time! However, since there were explanations on the bus, I stayed awake and listened seriously to the information!
Although I was feeling a bit dazed on the way, everyone on the boat was cheerful!! The staff were really energetic!!
We were able to meet the dolphins in less than five minutes!! They were so close that I felt like I could reach out and touch them, which was very moving!
At the end, they taught us how to do the hula on the boat, and it was so much fun d(^_^o) It was a very friendly tour with everyone! Just be careful not to play too much, as you'll need to conserve your energy to enjoy it fully! ☻
友達と2人で名門イルカ大学のツアーに参加させてもらいました!
野生のイルカとカメと泳げると言う事だったので楽しみでした!
朝、集合時間が早かったので不安でした!
でも時間通りに行けたので一安心!
ただ行きのバスで説明事項などあるので
向かうバスは寝ずに話を真剣に聞きました!
意識朦朧と向かったのですが、
船の上はみんな和気あいあいでした!!
スタッフさんたちがまず元気!!
イルカさん達には5分もかからず会う事が出来ました!!
手が届いちゃうんじゃないかってとこまで近くにいてとても感動しました!
最後の船上でフラを教えてくれるのですが、とても楽しかったですd(^_^o)
みんなで和気あいあいしたツアーでした!
ただ遊びすぎて体力は温存して挑まないと
辛いと思います!☻
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!
It wasn't nearby, but I was able to see dolphins. There are also plenty of hula and water activities, so I think it's great for when you want to enjoy a variety of things. But what about when you're specifically aiming to see just the dolphins???
近くではありませんでしたがイルカさん見れました
フラやウォーターアクティビティーも充実しているので、いろいろ楽しみたい時にはいいと思います
イルカちゃんだけが狙いの時はどうでしょうか???
The weather was cloudy and the water level was up to my waist, which was a bit different from the sandbar I saw in the pictures, but the staff were fun and kind, making it an enjoyable experience.
I was moved to see sea turtles and beautiful fish up close while snorkeling.
Next time, I want to participate again on a sunny day.
天気は曇っていて水位も腰まであり写真で見ていたサンドバーとは少し違いましたが、スタッフの皆さんが面白く親切で楽しかったです。
シュノーケリングで泳いだ海はウミガメやキレイなお魚をすぐそばで見れて感動しました。
今度はお天気のいい日にまた参加したいです。
Aloha! Thank you for the beautiful photos of the ocean in Hawaii. Please come back to join us on another tour. Mahalo!
アロハ!ハワイの美しい海の中の写真ありがとうございます。
またツアーに遊びに来て下さいね。Mahalo!
I had been hesitant because the price was high, but I'm glad I went for it. I was really healed by the service-oriented dolphin and the beautiful staff. The moment of interaction is brief, but I will never forget the unique texture of that dolphin's skin. As someone who gets nervous, I couldn't quite get the timing for the kiss right, but they let me try again, and the photos (for a fee) turned out beautifully. There was a lot of debris (possibly waste?) floating in the pool, so I tried not to think about it too much. It was chilly when my body got wet under the cloudy sky.
値段が高いのでずっと迷っていたが思い切って行ってよかったです。
サービス精神旺盛なイルカちゃんとキレイなお姉さんにとても癒されました。
触れ合えるのは一瞬ですがあのイルカ独特の肌触りは一生忘れません。
ビビりな私はキスのタイミングがうまく合わなかったけどやり直しさせてくれて写真(有料)も綺麗に撮れていました。プールはゴミ(排泄物?)がたくさん浮いていたのでなるべく気にしないようにしました。曇り空で体が濡れると寒かった。
I participated because I wondered if I could make it in time for low tide according to the schedule. The reviews were very positive, so my expectations might have been too high. The bus left 45 minutes after the meeting time, which made me feel distrustful of the tour due to the "island time" vibe...
The staff were friendly, and the hamburger was tastier than I expected. However, I didn't see the sandy beach as mentioned in the guidebook. The water level was at its lowest, only up to my knees.
Would I recommend it to my friends? Unfortunately, I cannot recommend it.
タイムスケジュールから、干潮の時間に間に合うかな?と思い参加しました。口コミもとても評判が良かったので期待が大きすぎたのかもしれません。バスが集合時間の45分後に出発するなど南国時間過ぎてツアーへの不信感が.....
スタッフの方はフレンドリーでしたし、ハンバーガーも想像より美味しかったです。ただし、ガイドブックにあるような砂浜は見られません。一番水位低くて膝下です。
お友達に薦めるか?と言うと残念ながらオススメはできません。
Thank you very much for participating in the tour. However, I sincerely apologize for not being able to provide you with satisfactory service.
Upon confirming with the operating company regarding this matter, I learned that the shuttle vehicle broke down on the day of the tour, which caused a delay in arranging a replacement vehicle. As a result, you had to wait for 45 minutes without any explanation about the situation, and I am truly sorry for causing you any anxiety.
Regarding the water level at the sandbar, as you had previously researched, there may be times when the beach is not visible due to the tides. I hope you can understand this.
Based on your valuable feedback, we will strive to provide even more satisfactory service in the future, so we appreciate your continued support. Thank you very much for taking the time to share your experience with us.

I participated in the popular Wet 'n Wild! The pickup is at 9:30 AM, so you can take your time in the morning. However, due to traffic, it takes about an hour to arrive at the site by bus. After changing, we quickly visited two pools before it was already noon, and then it was time for the barbecue lunch. I wasn't very hungry, but we headed to lunch. In the afternoon, we experienced the slides and bodyboarding, and before I knew it, it was time to change at 3:00 PM and gather for the bus at 3:30 PM. It all went by so quickly! There are popular and crowded slides, and some slides were on break, so I wish we had a bit more time.
話題のウェットアンドワイルドなので参加してみました!
ピックアップもAM9:30と朝もゆっくりできますが、バスで現地到着まで渋滞も有り約1時間、着替えてAM11:00前、早速2ヵ所プールを回るとAM12:00になりバーベキューランチ…あまりお腹も減ってなかったのすがランチへ、午後はスライダーとボディボード体験などなどでPM3:00に着替えてPM3:30にバスへ集合とあっという間に終わります。人気で混んでるスライダーや休憩中?のスライダーなども有るのでもう少し時間があればとは思います。
We left early in the morning and were able to return to the hotel by mid-morning, which allowed us to go sightseeing afterward.
From the boat, we were able to see not only sea turtles but also manta rays.
My 77-year-old mother and I didn't go snorkeling, but just enjoying the view from the boat was very pleasant.
My husband and the children, who went snorkeling, were satisfied with seeing beautiful fish.
The shuttle bus was very cold, as mentioned in the reviews, but when we asked them to turn off the air conditioning, they did.
The return bus was comfortable.
早朝出発で午前中にホテルに帰ることができたので、その後も観光に出かけることができました。
ボートからウミガメだけでなくマンタも見ることができました。
私と77歳の母はシュノーケリングをしませんでしたが、ボートの上で景色を眺めているだけでも気持ちが良かったです。
シュノーケリングをした夫と子どもたちはキレイな魚を見ることができて満足していました。
迎えのバスは、口コミであったように大変寒かったですが、途中でエアコンを止めて欲しいと頼むと止めてくれました。
帰りのバスは快適でした。
Amazing & would highly recommend this hike! We were originally scheduled to do the Makapuu Lighthouse Trail as well, but unfortunately they closed the trail a few days before we arrived. We were notified by the tour company in plenty of time & just went on the hike to Diamond Head. We were refunded the difference & everything else went off without a hitch. We were a little confused about the pick up location, but the driver took the time to call us & guide us to the right area. Job well done guys! Mahalo!
The sandbar in Hawaii is definitely a place you want to visit at least once. The weather was cloudy, and although it was March, it was a bit chilly. Once you get in the water, you get used to it, but it felt quite cold when you got back on land.
It should take about 1 hour and 30 minutes by bus from Honolulu, but it took over 2 hours due to delays from picking up other tour guests, which was tough.
That said, I was very satisfied with the tour! Especially during the sea turtle watching, we unexpectedly saw a group of manta rays, which was a surprise! The guide mentioned it was quite rare, and the manta rays appeared before the sea turtles, leaving everyone on the tour looking puzzled.
The hamburger for lunch was also very delicious! 😊
ハワイで一度は行ってみたいであろうサンドバー。当日の天気は曇りで、3月でしたが、やや肌寒かったです。いったん水に浸かれば慣れますが、また陸に上がると結構冷えました。
ホノルルからはバスで1時間30分くらいのはずですが、往路で他のツアー客のピックアップに時間がかかって2時間以上かかったのが辛かったです。。
何はともあれ、ツアーの内容は大満足!特にウミガメウォッチの時に偶然マンタの群れを見ることが出来、ビックリしました!ガイドさんもかなり珍しいと言われていたのですが、ウミガメより先にマンタが登場して、ツアー客はみんな??って顔をしてましたけど笑
昼食のハンバーガーも大変美味しく頂きました(^^)
The beautiful, clear sea allowed me to see the dolphins swimming right below me! The sea turtle professor swims slowly, so I could see it up close!
綺麗な海で透き通っているので、イルカ先生が泳いでいくのを自分が泳いでいる真下で見ることができました!!
ウミガメ大教授はゆっくり泳いでいるのですごく近くで見れます!
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!
Someone asked me today what my favorite activity was in Hawaii and I told them hands down the Dolphin and Snorkel Catamaran trip was the best and most memorable. We got to see a large pod of Hawaiian Spinner Dolphins and then snorkeling saw some Sea Turtles and many varieties of tropical fish. The wind picked up enough on our way back that the crew put the beautiful sails up and we sailed back .The food and drink were great and the crew were beyond helpful and so much fun. This is the one activity I would be sure to do again when we come back to Oahu!
The park itself is small and rather tired but still great fun; esp. for younger kids. When we went (September) it runs with a skeleton staff and they (frustratingly) don't run all rides, all of the time but instead swap them around and so most rides are closed for half of the time. This causes unnecessary queues and limits the number of turns you can have quite a lot. The transport to and from was poorly organised. It was late going and late coming back (we were asked to be out of the park 15 minutes before it closed and then waited 30 mins for our bus to arrive!). However it was still a fun day, but just could have been better!
On the morning of the day, unfortunately, it was cloudy. There was a hurricane around Oahu, and it had rained heavily the day before, so I was disappointed. However, when we arrived at the sandbar, I thought, "I'm glad I came!" Although it wasn't clear skies, by midday, the weather turned into a pleasant beach day. As expected of Hawaii. The guide mentioned, "If it hadn't rained the day before, it would have been even more beautiful," but I was more than satisfied with the experience. I want to go again on a sunny day. The crew members were all friendly and made me feel at ease.
当日朝は、あいにくの曇り空。オアフ島周辺にハリケーンがあり、前日も大雨で今回は残念‥と思っていました。
しかし、サンドバーに着いた時には「来て良かった!」と思うことができました。快晴では無かったのですが、昼近くになるとカラッとした海日和となりました。さすがハワイ。
ガイドのお姉さんは「前日の雨がなければ、もっと綺麗だよ。」とおっしゃったのですが、十分満足出来る内容でした。次は快晴の日に行きたいです。
クルーの方は皆さん気さくで安心感がありました。
What a site to see, I loved every bit of this activity.
The sandbar's sea was incredibly beautiful! The water level was up to my chest due to the high tide, which was more than I had imagined, but we had fun playing with a beach ball!
I also got to see cute turtles, and there were so many fish while snorkeling—it was the best! ★
The hamburger we had on the boat was delicious too!\(^o^)/
The staff were fun and made our time very comfortable! ♪♪
サンドバーの海、すごい綺麗でした!イメージしてたより、満ち潮の影響で胸くらいまで水位があったけど、ビーチボールもできて楽しかったです!
かわいい亀も見れたし、シュノーケルもたっくさんお魚が見れて、最高でした★
船で食べた、ハンバーガーも美味しかったです\(^o^)/
スタッフさんも楽しい片たちで心地よく過ごせました♪♪
My friends and I had a good time here. Many different thinks to keep us occupied. Love seeing the sea turtles.
Since we took the bus, it was a bit of a long journey, but we were able to spend a very relaxing day. The hula lesson and craft experience were just for us, so it felt almost like a private lesson. The craft experience with the tea leaf lei work was fun, and the hula was taught with great care, which made me happy. The spacious grounds were pleasant, and the planetarium had interesting explanations. The guide in the museum provided thorough explanations as we toured the exhibits, allowing us to learn about Hawaiian culture.
THE BUSで出向いたので少し遠い道のりでしたが、とてもゆったりと一日過ごすことが出来ました。
フラレッスンもクラフト体験も私達だけでしたからほぼプライベートレッスン状態でした。
クラフト体験のティーリーフのレイワークも楽しかったし、フラは丁寧に教えて下さったし、嬉しかったです。
広い敷地内で気持ち良く、プラネタリウムでは興味深い説明で、博物館内も案内の方がしっかり説明して展示物を回ってくださるのでハワイの文化を知ることができました。
Very disappointing. We had to decide as soon as we got off the bus what time we wanted to be picked up - 10 AM or 12 noon. Had we known how long it would take us to actually get into the water, we would have chosen noon! We were picked up at 7 AM, got to the Bay about 7:45, had to stand in line to get tickets, wait our turn to see a required film (very good actually), and then walk about 10 minutes down to the Bay, and then stand in another line to get a locker for our bags. We did not get into the water until almost 8:45, more than an hour after we had been picked up. THEN, we find our that the snorkel/mask ensemble was so inflexible that we could not get it to work properly! The mouthpiece was too rigid, would not form a tight seal and kept pulling to one side, and my husband's snorkel actually kept coming unhooked from the mask! Had we known this, we would have bought our own equipment at the ABC store for $10 and actually been able to snorkel! As it was, we spent until 9:30 trying to get the equipment to fit, and then had to head back to the bus for the 10 AM pick-up. Had the connection between the mouthpiece and the snorkel tube been accordion-like and flexible, it would have been a lot better. If you plan to go on this trip, bring your own equipment and be prepared to not get into the water right away. The Bay is beautiful and the water was wonderful, but our experience with the inflexible pick up time and equipment was not wonderful!
My friends and I had so much fun. The whole cruise was a great experience. The crew was super friendly. Our guide, Ryan, was great. He was very knowledgeable so we actually learned some things which was cool. Would have liked to spend a little more time on the sandbar but overall, would definitely recommend doing this!
This was my second time participating. I made a reservation because I wanted to see dolphins again, just like when I went on my honeymoon. He was scared of the ocean and didn't want to go, but he was excited to see wild dolphins up close. In the end, he was happily chatting with the staff.
On that day, 8 out of 12 groups were honeymooners. The boat didn't rock much, so I recommend this activity.
私は2回目の参加でした。自分の新婚旅行で行った時にももう一度イルカに会いたくて予約しました。彼は海が怖いので嫌がっていましたが、野生のイルカをこんなに近くで見られて興奮していました。最後にはスタッフの方と楽しく話していました。
この日12組中8組がハネムーナーでした。船もあまり揺れないのでオススメのアクティビティーです。
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!
The water surface was quite deep due to the time of day, but it was beautiful. The BBQ hamburgers and snorkeling were delicious, and I had a great time!
時間帯の問題でかなり深い水面でしたが、綺麗でした。
BBQのハンバーガーやシュノーケリングも美味しいし、楽しかったです❗
