Oahu
I attended the Chief's luau with my husband, siblings/spouses, and my elderly parents. A great time was had by all....even got my parents (temporary) tattooed at the event! We enjoyed the pre-show activities and the food was delicious. Chief and his group of entertainers put on an excellent show. This was my first luau, but my siblings had been to others on previous visits and said Chief's luau was their favorite.
Our first and most memorable experience with this company was being picked up by Coach Driver Jerry. This guy is a credit to the company and to Hawaii. He supplied a huge amount of information about the islands, the history and Pearl Harbour. He was extremely helpful to everyone on the coach and gave sensible advice to all the 'out of towners' The experience of visiting the Missouri and the Arizona memorial was a humbling and memorable experience for our family.
The Royal Start tour to Pearl Harbor was more than I had hoped for. "Cousin Jerry" was an amazing guide and made us feel like ohana (family). The comfort of the tour bus was very very nice. The visit to the Arizona was everything I expected and was a very emotional time for me, being a Navy veteran. We really felt like we got our money worth and definitely recommend the Royal Star tours.
I checked the low tide times in advance and went there. As expected, the scenery was absolutely wonderful. The first spot I stepped into had water up to my knees, but the shallowest area was only about ankle-deep. At first, we took our time walking and took group photos. After that, only those who wanted to went snorkeling. It was my first time snorkeling, but it was easy to do. I think anyone who can swim will be fine. I was truly amazed to encounter beautiful fish and even sea turtles. We also enjoyed some light snacks at the end, making it a very satisfying tour. If you're going to Hawaii, this is definitely a place you should visit at least once!
事前に干潮時間を調べて行きました。期待通り、とても素晴らしい景色で、最初足を着けたところは膝ぐらい水位があったものの、一番浅いところは足首くらいの水位でした。最初は、ゆっくり歩きながら皆で記念撮影。その後は希望者だけで、シュノーケリング。初めてのシュノーケルでしたが、簡単に出来ました。泳げる方なら大丈夫だと思います。綺麗なお魚と海亀にまで遭遇できて本当に神秘的でした。最後に軽食もいただけて、大満足のツアーでした。ハワイに行くなら一度は是非訪れてもらいたい場所です!
It was different from what I imagined from the commercials, but it was good. I researched the low tide data, but the timing of my trip to Hawaii wasn't the best for low tide, which made it difficult. The staff's response was relatively good, and I was overall satisfied, especially since I got to see a sea turtle. I saw some fish while snorkeling, but the water clarity wasn't as high as I expected.
コマーシャルでイメージしていたと違いますが、良かったです。
干潮のデータを調べていきましたが、今回ハワイに行ったタイミングが一番潮の引くタイミングではなく難しいです。
スタップの対応も比較的よく、ウミガメも登場して全体的には満足しました。
シュノーケルは、魚は見えましたが思ったより海の透明度はあまり高くはなかったです。
"I want to swim with wild dolphins!"
"I want to see sea turtles!!"
"I want to eat malasadas!!!"
They covered all my selfish wishes.
On the day of the tour, the staff called my hotel room before the meeting time to confirm, which was very considerate. Thanks to that, I was saved from almost oversleeping.
When I actually saw the wild dolphins, I was surprised at how close they were! I might have been lucky, but I was able to see a pod of dolphins up close, and I was very satisfied.
I definitely want to join again the next time I go to Hawaii!!
「野生イルカと泳ぎたい!」
「ウミガメ観たい!!」
「マラサダ食べたい!!!」
って言う、ワガママな私の願いを全部網羅してくれました。
当日は集合時間前に担当のスタッフさんがホテルの部屋まで
確認の電話をしてくれる丁寧さ。
お陰で危うく寝過ごしそうになるのを救われました。
で、実際の野生イルカも想像以上にの近さにビックリ☆
運が良かったのかもしれないけど、
何頭ものイルカの群れを間近でみることができ、
大満足でした。
次にハワイ行ったときも、ぜひ参加したいです!!
I had an adventure at Sea Life Park Hawaii where I got to play with dolphins. I touched the dolphins, kissed them, held onto their dorsal fins while swimming, and observed their movements underwater while snorkeling. I had always wanted to touch a dolphin after watching the shows, so experiencing it was thrilling. The local instructor was very cheerful and made the experience fun and interesting. There were also quite a few older couples from various countries and backgrounds, but everyone was smiling and enjoying themselves.
However, since it was my first time snorkeling, I was so focused on diving that I couldn't see much underwater (sadly). I wore a swimsuit with a rash guard on top and shorts on the bottom during the experience. They provide life jackets to wear while participating. Even in Hawaii, the water is cold, so wearing a rash guard is good for sun protection as well. By the way, it's important to remove earrings and rings beforehand as they can become dangerous.
There are warm showers and changing rooms available. They also sell DVDs of the experience and photos. My husband, who wasn't initially enthusiastic, said afterward, "That was super fun!" The park also has sea turtles and seals, and they put on dolphin shows. You can enjoy a full day there. It creates wonderful memories in Hawaii.
シーライフパーク・ハワイ イルカと遊べるアドベンチャーを体験しました。
イルカに触れる・イルカとキス・背びれに捕まって泳ぐ・シュノーケルで水中でのイルカの動きを観察する。
イルカのショーを見てて、いつか触ってみたいと思っていたから、それが体験できて感激です。
インストラクターの現地の方も、とっても陽気な方で、楽しく面白く、指導してくれます。
結構年配のご夫婦もいて、国や人種も様々ですが、みんな笑顔で楽しめます。
ただシュノーケルが初めてだったから水中の様子は私は潜るもに必死で良く見れずじまいだった(悲)。
私は(女)体験中は水着で、その上にラッシュガード、下は短パンを履いてました。体験中はライフジャケットを渡されるので着用します。
ハワイといえども水は冷たいからラッシュガード着てた方が日焼け対策もできるしいいと思います。ちなみに、ピアスやリングなどは凶器になってしまうから、体験前に外しておきます。
温水の出るシャワー、更衣室もちゃんとあります。体験している様子をDVDで販売してくれたり、写真を販売してくれます。
最初は乗り気じゃなかった旦那も体験後には「チョー楽しかったねー」って。
パーク内には海ガメやアザラシも居たり、イルカのショーとかもやってます。
1日楽しめちゃいます。
ハワイでの素敵な想い出つくれますよ。
I participated in the tour that started at 3 PM on the day I arrived in Hawaii. There were more foreign tourists than Japanese, allowing me to experience a sense of being in a different country in Hawaii, which is usually filled with Japanese visitors.
We took a boat to reach the submarine waiting offshore, but many people experienced seasickness, so I recommend taking motion sickness medication if you're prone to it (the submarine itself was stable). There were many colorful fish on the ocean floor off Waikiki, and we also saw sharks. I was excited about the rare experience of riding in a submarine. The view of Diamond Head from offshore Waikiki was also beautiful.
ハワイに到着した日に15時からの回で参加しました。日本人観光客よりも外国の人が多く、日本人が多いハワイで異国気分を味わえました。
沖に待機している潜水艦までは船で行くのですが、船酔いされている方も多く、酔いやすい方は酔い止めをお勧めします(潜水艦は揺れは大丈夫でした)。ワイキキ沖の海底にもカラフルな魚がたくさんおり、その他サメなども見られました。潜水艦に乗るという滅多に出来ない体験に興奮しました。またワイキキ沖から見るダイヤモンドヘッドも素敵でした。
I ordered this for my 6 year old daughter, who it was her first vacation to Hawaii and on a plane. When we got off the plane we were greeted by a woman in a hawaiian dress holding a sign with my daughters name on it.. My daughter was SO excited! She loved her Lei which was perfect and not too big for her little neck. The flowers stayed beautiful during our week long vacation and my daughter loved them hanging off the lamp shade by our bed. An extra bonus was the lei greeter had 2 extra lei's and gave them to us at no charge so we got lei's for the whole family. I would reccomend this for any one who wants to start thier vacation out right!! My daughter loved it and I loved seeing her so happy!
I felt like Ayumi Hamasaki~~(●´▽`●)/ They say that seeing sea turtles can make you happy. I saw a pair♪ I want to go again before I die!!!
浜崎あゆみの気分になりました~~(●´▽`●)/
ウミガメを見ると、幸せになれるんですって。つがいでみちゃいました♪
しぬまえにまた、いきたいです!!!
There were so many Pearl Harbor tours to choose from, I thought my head was going to explode just trying to decide. In the end, I was glad we chose this one. We had a lot of time on our own to explore Pearl Harbor and there were optional audio tours available for an additional fee, but we didn't do that. There was so much to take in and see as it was!
The Atlantis submarine is available in other regions as well, but I think Hawaii has a greater variety of marine life to encounter.
To board the submarine, you take a short cruise on a boat. From there, you transfer to another vessel and dive into the deep sea.
That day, I was satisfied to see a sea turtle swim right in front of me and a school of fish.
However, it was a bit disappointing that the return cruise took a little longer than expected.
潜水艦アトランティスって他の地域にもありますが、ハワイは他よりも出会える海の生き物たちが多いと思います。
潜水艦に乗るにあたっては、沖までちょっとした?クルーズ船に乗ります。
そこから海上で船を乗り換えて、深海へ潜っていきます。
その日はウミガメが目の前をよぎったり、魚の軍団を見れたり満足でした。
ただ、帰りのクルーズ船でやや寄ってしまったのが残念でした。
It was just the two of us participating. I remembered a woman I met in Hawaii who told me that I should definitely visit the sandbar, which led me to decide to join this tour.
It was the right choice!
The scenery during the round trip between the hotel and the port was wonderful, and I was able to see many sea turtles. The sandwiches on the boat were delicious, and I was very satisfied.
I tend to get motion sickness, so I took some medication beforehand, but the boat was large and the waves were calm, so I might not have needed it. I think it's a good idea to apply sunscreen thoroughly.
友人と二人での参加でした。
以前ハワイで知り合った女性にサンドバーには一度は行ってご覧なさいと言われていた事を思い出しこのツアーへの参加を決めました。
正解でした!
ホテルと港の往復の景色もすばらしかったし、海がめも沢山見ることができたし、船上でのサンドイッチも美味しくて大満足でした。
乗り物酔いしやすい私は酔い止めをのんでおきましたが船も大きく波も静かだったので飲まなくてもよかったかも。
日焼け止めは念入りに付けたほうが良いと思いました
。
The tour itself was very satisfying.
However, a 50-minute delay is a bit much.
I wonder if people in Hawaii are just laid-back.
ツアー自体は大満足でした
ただ50分の遅刻はないかな
ハワイの人はのんびりなんですかね
I participated in a tour with lunch on September 26 (local time). The guide on the shuttle bus spoke English, and we had a fun (though a bit noisy) time until we arrived at the port. From the port to the sandbar, our guide "Miho" kept us entertained with her enjoyable microphone performance until we returned. "Yuki" took some great photos of us (like making heart shapes with our hands and holding hands, as well as shots from behind). I heard there are days when you can't see sea turtles, but that day we were able to see 6 or 7, which was amazing. We enjoyed a paradise-like experience with lunch (freshly grilled hamburgers) and beer at the sandbar. After a break, we moved to the snorkeling spot, and snorkeling among the coral reefs was truly breathtaking. It was my first time going to Hawaii with my wife after 21 years of marriage, and it was the best experience. We went on this trip to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary and the arrival of our first grandchild (by the way, I'm still only 44). I want to go back many more times. Next time, I want to bring my son, daughter, and all my grandchildren. Thank you for the precious experience and memories.
9月26日(現地時間)の昼食付きのツアーに参加しました、送迎バスのなかでは案内人の方が英語でしたが楽しく(少しうるさい)過ごし港に到着、港からサンドバーまでは案内人の「みほ」さんがとても楽しいマイクパフォーマンスで帰るまで楽しませてくれました、「ゆき」さんが撮ってくれる写真(夫婦で手でハートマークや手をつないでや、後ろ姿など)もすごく良かったです、海がめも見れない日があるらしいのですがその日は6、7匹見る事ができ感動、サンドバーで昼食(焼きたてハンバーガー)とビールで楽園気分満喫、休憩後シュノーケリング場所へ移動、珊瑚礁のなかのシュノーケリングは感動の一言でした、結婚して21年で初めて家内と二人でハワイに行きましたが最高でした、今回の旅行は結婚20年記念と初孫ができたお祝いで行きましたが(ちなみにまだ44歳です)、また何回も行きたいです。次回は息子、娘、孫みんな連れて行きたいです、貴重な体験と感動ありがとうございました。
The park has several types of pools and slides, and it is pleasantly spacious. Perhaps because it was a weekday, the park was not crowded, and we were able to use the slides without waiting.
It takes about 40 minutes from Waikiki using the freeway. If you rent a car, it might feel wasteful to leave it parked while you enjoy the park, so I recommend opting for a plan that includes transportation. Since many foreign tourists also ride the shuttle bus, the atmosphere can be lively if there are cheerful people on board.
程良く広いパーク内には何種類かのプールとスライダーがあります。
平日だったせいか、パーク内は空いており、スライダーは並ばずに利用することができました。
ワイキキからはフリーウェイを利用して40分ほど掛ります。
レンタカーを利用すると遊んでいる間、車を停めっぱなしでもったいないので、送迎プラン付のものをオススメします。
送迎バスには外国人観光客の方も沢山乗るため、陽気な方がいらっしゃれば車内は盛り上がります。
I participated for the first time at my mother's request. It was so cute to see and touch the dolphins right in front of me, and even give them a kiss. Since participants line up and experience it one by one, the time for each person is a bit short, but there were dolphin adventures happening across the pool, so I didn't get bored while waiting. This time, we also had a ray encounter included as a bonus, and surprisingly, it was just my mother and me! We experienced snorkeling in the park's pool, but since it was completely visible from the outside, it felt a bit like a spectacle, but it was a great experience. The road to Sea Life Park had beautiful scenery! I think it's worth a visit at least once.
母の希望で、初めて参加しました。
イルカを目の前で見て触ったりキスできて、とっても可愛かったです。
参加者が一列に並んで1人ずつ体験するので1人あたりの時間は少しですが、プールの向かいでドルフィンアドベンチャーをしていたりするので待ち時間も飽きませんでした。
また今回はレイ・エンカウンターもサービスでついていたので体験しましたが、まさかの母と私2人だけでした笑
園内のプールでシュノーケルをつけて体験するのですが外から丸見えなので若干見せ物でしたが、いい経験ができました。
シーライフパークへの道は景色が良かったですよ!
一度は行ってみた方がいいと思います。
This was our first Luau and we are confident in saying that it is quite possibly the best Luau you could attend. It was very authentic and Chief Seilu put on a great show from the dancing to music to his corky comedy. The activities before the Luau and the show itself are a perfect experience for anyone visiting Oahu.
On the day, I only encountered three dolphins and couldn't swim with them, which was a bit disappointing. However, I was satisfied because I got to swim with turtles up close instead. The staff was amazing and really made it fun!!
当日はイルカ3頭としか遭遇せず、一緒に泳げなかったことは少し残念だったが、その代わりにカメとは至近距離で一緒に泳げたので満足しています。
スタッフは最高に盛り上げてくれたのでとても楽しかった!!
I was disappointed that I didn't encounter any dolphins, but the staff were lively and great at keeping the energy up, so overall I was satisfied. There were similar tours available, but I participated because a friend recommended it. I don't think the experience is the same every time due to seasonal variations, so it's a tour I would like to experience multiple times. Next time, I want to join a different tour for comparison.
イルカにはなかなか遭遇できなかったのが残念でしたが、スタッフの人達が元気に盛り上げ上手でトータル的には満足でした。類似のツアーが他にもありましたが、友人お勧めでしたので参加しました。季節的にも毎回同じではないと思いますので何回も体験したいツアーです。 次回は別のツアーに参加して比較したいと思います。
We participated as a couple, and it was fun.
The shuttle bus picked us up at the hotel and arrived before the park opened.
There were many slides, and it was really great. The attractions were unlike those in Japan.
Even though we went on a weekend, it wasn't crowded, so we could ride right away.
I will definitely go again the next time I visit Hawaii.
夫婦2名での参加でした。たのしかったです。
ホテルまで送迎バスが迎えに来てくれて、開園前にバス到着。
スライダーがたくさんあってとてもよかったです。日本ではないアトラクション満載です。
行った日は週末なのに空いていたのですぐに乗れました。
次ハワイに行くときも絶対行きます。
The tour we participated in during our family's trip to Hawaii in September was the "All Hawaii Cruise: Angel's Sea." The heavenly sea, famous in Hawaii, was a place I had always wanted to visit! I was particularly looking forward to it during this trip.
However, on the day of the tour, I was expecting a beautiful view at the sandbar where the sand completely emerges in the middle of the ocean, but unfortunately, the weather was not favorable that day. As a result, we could only get off the boat when the water receded to knee height, and it was very cold due to the bad weather, but there was nothing we could do about it!
At the snorkeling point, we were able to swim with many fish. Since there are many deep areas where you can't touch the bottom, it's better for those who are not confident in swimming to borrow a life jacket.
During the cruising, we saw sea turtles, and the hamburgers we had on the boat were delicious, as they grilled the meat over charcoal.
Be careful about the weather when going to the heavenly sea!
私たち家族が9月に行ったハワイで参加したツアーが、
【オールハワイクルーズ 天使の海】です。
ハワイの海でも有名で一度は行きたいと思っていた天国の海!
念願かなって今回の旅行の中でも特に楽しみにしていました。
しかし、当日は海の真ん中に砂が完全に浮き出るサンドバーで美しい光景を期待していましたが、残念ながらこの日だけ天候に恵まれませんでした。
そのため膝あたりまでしか水が引かない時に降りたのと、天気も悪くとても寒かったですが、それはもうしょうがないと思うしかありません!
シュノーケリングのポイントではたくさんの魚たちと泳ぐことが出来ました。
海の中は足がつかない深い地点が多いので、泳ぎが不安な方は救命道具を貸してもらったほうが良いです。
クルージングはウミガメが見れたし、船で食べたハンバーガーはお肉を炭火で焼いてくれてとっても美味しかったです。
天国の海に行くときは天気に気を付けましょう!
I chose this tour again because I saw dolphins and turtles last time. I'll probably choose this tour again next time as well.
前回もイルカや亀が見れたので、またこのツアーにしました。
多分また次回もこのツアーにします。
The timing was unfortunate, and it was very cold...
The water level was quite high, and there was no sandbar at all.
I thought that if the weather had been nice, we could have enjoyed a really beautiful sea.
The sea turtle looked small, but I had a great time.
The staff's consideration was wonderful.
Thank you very much.
時期が悪く、とても寒い思いをしました・・・
水位も結構あり、サンドバーはまったくです。
天気が良ければとてもキレイな海が楽しめただろうなぁと思いました~。
海がめさん、小さく見えるだけでしたが、楽しめました。
スタッフの方のお気遣い、すばらしかったです。
ありがとうございました。
I went on a sandbar tour. This tour was filled with Japanese people. There were about 30 participants on the day I joined. The staff seemed quite experienced.
I heard that it’s also used for gravure photo shoots, and the color of the sea is beautiful, an emerald hue. However, since we all walked together on the sandbar, it felt like there wasn’t much of a private atmosphere. That was a bit disappointing.
Overall, the sea is very beautiful, so it's nice, but I think it may not be suitable for those who want a sense of privacy. (For reference)
サンドバーツアーに行ってきました。
このツアー、とにかく日本人だらけでした。参加した日は30人ぐらいいたかな。スタッフの人も、手慣れてる感じでした。
グラビア撮影でも使われているとのことで、海の色もエメラルド色できれいです。ただ、サンドバーを歩くのですが、皆でぞろぞろ歩いていくのでプライベート感はあまりないような気がしました。それが、少し残念。
総合的には、海もとても綺麗なのでいいですがプライベート感が欲しい方にはあまり向いていないかなと思いました。(参考までに)
The sea was really beautiful, but the snorkeling was a bit lacking... I wish I could have seen some prettier tropical fish. I was a little disappointed given my expectations, but I was excited to see a sea turtle. The light snacks were quite delicious and filling. I think the staff was the most accommodating. In particular, Ryo, who is Japanese, was very kind and great. I would like to participate again.
海はすごくきれいでしたがシュノーケリングはいまいちかな・・・もう少しきれいな熱帯魚とかみれたら良かったかな・・・。期待してた分少しがっかりでしたがウミガメが見れてテンションあがりました。
軽食はかなりおいしくて食べごたえのあるものでした。
スタッフは一番対応が良かったように思います。
とくに日本人のりょうさんはすごく優しくて良かったです。
また参加したいです。
We went as a couple, but there were various people, including families and friends.
There are thrilling slides, a gentle wave pool, and a heated pool for when it gets chilly, so you can have a great time.
*The showers only provide cold water, so it would have been better if they had hot water available.*
We particularly enjoyed the thrilling rides, and there are many types of pools that you can't find in Japan, so I highly recommend it!
夫婦で行きましたが、ファミリー、友人同士など色々な方がいらしていました。
絶叫系スライダーからゆるい波のプール、冷えた時には温水プールもありますので楽しめます。
※シャワーは冷水しか出ないので、温水が出るともっと良かったです。
特に私たちは絶叫系を楽しみましたが、日本にないようなタイプのプールが多く、おすすめです!
I participated in the Angel's Sea Sandbar Cruise. The sea was incredibly beautiful! Due to the tides, it wasn't the perfect sandy beach you often see in photos, but the water was about knee-deep, and sitting in it felt like enjoying a half-body bath. It felt luxurious to be able to sit in the sea and look out at the ocean in 360 degrees, even though we were offshore.
Above all, the warm and delicious hamburger after playing in the sea was exceptional! Also, after snorkeling, they provided hot drinks to warm us up, and the sweet hot chocolate was the best. The only downside was that the time spent seeing the sea turtles was shorter than I expected.
天使の海サンドバークルーズに参加しました。
海はとってもキレイでした!潮の関係で、よく写真にあるような完全な砂浜にはなっていなかったけど、深さはひざ下くらいで、すわってもお風呂で半身浴してるみたいに気持ちよかったです。沖にいるのに海の中で座って360度まわりの海を見渡せるなんて贅沢な感じがしました。
何よりも、海ではしゃいだ後の温かいおいしいハンバーガーは格別でした☆☆ また、シュノーケルの後には冷えた体を暖めてくれるホットドリンクも用意してくれて、甘いホットチョコレートは最高でした。
ウミガメを見る時間が思ったより短かったのだけが残念でした。
I was really looking forward to Heaven's Sea.
Perhaps because there were so many participants, we were divided into several groups on boats to get to Heaven's Sea, but for some reason, we had to wait a really long time. It seemed like there were too few boats available, and the wait to get on a returning boat was just too long, which took away the excitement.
Moreover, the wind was really strong, and since we had to stand the whole time, it was cold.
As for Heaven's Sea itself, it was fairly beautiful, but I didn't feel that much excitement about it. The water wasn't particularly clear, and there weren't a lot of fish.
The only good thing was that there were sea turtles near the pier, and we got to see them up close!
I think it would be better to check the tide schedule before participating.
すごく楽しみにしてた天国の海。
参加人数が多かったのか、ボートで何組にか分かれて、天国の海まで行くのですが、なぜだかとーっても待たされた。
確保してるボートが少ないのか、岸に帰ってくるボートに乗れるまでの時間が長すぎて、わくわく度がなくなってしまった。
しかも風がすごく吹いていて立ちっぱなしだから、寒いし。
肝心の天国の海は、まあまあ綺麗でした。そこまでの感動はなかったなあ。
海が澄んでいるわけでもないし、お魚がいっぱいいるわけでもないし。
唯一良かったのは、桟橋の付近にウミガメが棲みついていて、間近で見れたこと!
潮の満ち引きをチェックして参加するのが、良いと思われます。
This is the Captain Bruce's Heavenly Ocean Tour.
We sincerely apologize for the long wait during boarding.

Thank you very much for taking the time to provide us with your valuable feedback.
キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーです。
乗船の際に長らくお待たせしてしまったとのこと、大変申し訳ございませんでした。
このようなことの無いよう、プログラムの再検討をしスタッフへ指示、指導を徹底行いました。
そして、ウェットスーツ、ジャケット、ブランケット等も無料でご用意し
新規にカヤックやパドルボードなども購入し、合わせて楽しんでいただけるよう改善しました。
また次回来ていただいた時にご満足いただけるよう努めてまいりたいと思います。
今回はお時間を割いて貴重なご意見いただき本当にありがとうございました。
I participated once about five years ago, and this time I joined with the deluxe package. There were new attractions added, and I was able to spend a fulfilling day. The sliders located on the high ground offered a view of the distant Ko Olina area, and I could also see Aulani. The day I visited was cloudy with occasional sunshine, but the strong winds made it a bit cold when moving between attractions. Since it was a weekday, the park wasn't too crowded, and I enjoyed my favorite sliders multiple times.
The best part was the bodyboarding lesson. The last time I participated, there were quite a few people, so I ended up not really understanding much, but this time there weren't many participants, allowing me to practice riding the waves until the end. I had quite a bit of muscle soreness the next day, but it was a great experience.
The food was average, but the unlimited drinks were appreciated. The air conditioning on the return bus was too strong, making it cold. I was glad I brought a thick hoodie as I had anticipated that.
If I had to mention one area for improvement, it would be the pickup method. Before boarding the bus, the staff put on separate fee wristbands for each person and provided a usage explanation for each group, which took quite a bit of time as they had to circulate through the hotels before leaving Waikiki.
5年位前に一度参加したことがありましたが、今回もデラックスパッケージで参加しました。
新しいアトラクションなども増えており、充実した1日を過ごすことができました。
高台にあるスライダーなどは、遠くにコオリナ地区が見渡せ、アウラニも見ることができました。参加した日は曇り時々晴れでしたが、風が強いのでアトラクション移動は寒い時もありました。
平日だったこともあり、園内もそれほど込み合ってなく、気に入ったスライダーは、何度も並んで楽しみました。
一番良かったのは、ボディボードのレッスンでした。
前回利用したときはかなりの人数がいたので、なんだかよくわからないまま終わってしまいましたが、今回は波を取りあうほど参加者もいなく、最後まで波に乗る練習ができました。次の日かなりの筋肉痛でしたが、いい経験になりました。
食事は普通でした。ドリンク飲み放題はありがたかったです。
帰りのバスのエアコンが効きすぎて寒かったです。予想して厚手のパーカーを持って行って正解でした。
唯一の改善点を言うなら、ピックアップ方法だと思います。ピックアップしてバスに乗せる前に、料金別リストバンドを一人ずつスタッフの方が付けてくださり、1グループごとに園内利用説明をされるために、ホテルを巡回しワイキキを出るまで相当の時間がかかったのが残念でした。
