Oahu
The 360-degree view of the ocean was incredibly beautiful. I was able to see sea turtles up close. I want to go again!
360度の海がとってもキレイでした。
うみがめもこんな近くで見れました。
また行きたい~!
Our greeter was waiting for us as promised, holding a sign with our name on it so we could easily identify her. She had a great smile, warmly welcomed us to Hawai'i and then was kind enough to escort us through the airport so we could quickly find the baggage area before she had to leave us.
Leis were absolutely beautiful!
It's a bit pricey, but I had a wonderful experience touching, kissing, and swimming with dolphins. We traveled from the hotel to Sea Life Park by a large bus. The customers were about half Japanese and half from other countries, and the guide spoke mostly in English. Since there wasn't much important information shared on the bus, I think it's fine even if you don't speak English. At the site, there was someone who could speak Japanese to explain things during our visit. It wasn't too difficult and was a lot of fun. By the way, there's a church right at the entrance of Sea Life Park where Yuko Rin had her wedding!
ちょっとお高いけど、イルカに触れたり、キスできたり、一緒に泳いだり。
とっても素敵な体験をさせていただきました。
ホテルからシーライフパークまでは大型バスで移動でした。
お客さんは日本人とその他の国の人が半々くらいで、ガイドさんはほぼ英語のみ。
バスの中ではそんなに重要な話はしないので英語ができなくても大丈夫かと思います。
現地では私たちの時は日本語が話せる人が説明してくれました。
そんなに難しくなく、楽しかったです。
ちなみにシーライフパーク入ってすぐのとこにゆうこりんが挙式した教会がありますよ♪
We participated as a family.
My 5-year-old daughter was a bit scared at first, but as she touched and kissed the dolphins, she completely fell in love with them.
The stuffed animal we bought on the way back has the same name as the dolphin we played with, "Maui," and she takes good care of it.
We would like to participate again.
親子で参加しました。
5歳の娘は最初おっかなびっくりでしたが、イルカに触れたり、キスしたりするうちに、すっかりイルカが大好きになりました。
帰りに買ったぬいぐるみに、一緒に遊んだイルカの名前と同じ「マウイ」という名前をつけて可愛がっています。
また、参加したいと思っています。
This trip was the most fun I've ever had. There were dolphins right under the boat, and I was so excited because they were close enough that I felt like I could reach out and touch them. The staff were all very energetic and friendly, which was great. I definitely want to participate again when I go to Hawaii. However, since you spend a long time on the boat, I think it's a good idea for those who get seasick to take motion sickness medication. There were a few people who got sick during our trip as well.
今回の旅で一番楽しかった。
船の真下にイルカがいて、足を垂らしていたら届いてしまうのではという近さで大興奮です。
スタッフの方も皆テンション高くフレンドリーで良かったです。
また、ハワイに行くときはぜひ参加したいです。
ただ、長時間船に乗っているので船酔いする方は酔い止め薬を服用してたほうがいいと思います。私達のときにも酔っている方が何人かいました。
There is a wide variety of water slides, and the thrills are abundant. I highly recommend it for those staying long-term who are looking for activities beyond the beach.
ウオータースライダーの種類が豊富で、スリルも満点。
長期滞在で海以外にもって方にはとてもお勧めです。
The day before, I participated in an activity with another company and it was a disappointment, so I thought about canceling. However... it was way beyond my expectations and absolutely amazing!!
I had to wait 30 minutes because they didn't show up at the meeting time (laughs), but the guide was really nice and it was a lot of fun. The captain and all the staff were also entertaining. They danced on the boat, and the hamburgers were delicious, plus we had pineapple and taro!? We got to see sea turtles and dolphins, which was fantastic, and the half-day went by in no time. After getting back on land, I learned hula from a hula teacher, which was a great experience.
This is definitely worth participating in!!!
前日にほかの会社のアクティビティーに参加してはずれだったので、前日にキャンセルしようかと思いましたが。。。
全然、期待以上に最高でした!!
朝待ち合わせ時間にこなくて30分待たされましたが(笑)
ガイドさんも、めっちゃいい人で楽しかったし
船の船長さんはじめスタッフのかたもみんな面白かったです。
船の上でダンスしてくれて、ハンバーガーはおいしくて
パイナップルとかタロイモ!?もでました。
ウミガメもイルカもみれて最高なうえ
半日あっという間でした。
陸に上がってからは、フラの先生にフラを教えてもらって
いい経験になりました。
これは、参加する価値ありです!!!
Thank you for enjoying the tour. We apologize for the inconvenience regarding the pickup. To avoid such issues in the future, we will strive to improve our services. We sincerely look forward to your next visit.
ツアーをお楽しみいただき有難うございます。ピックアップに関しましては、ご迷惑をおかけしまして申し訳ございませんでした。このようなご迷惑をおかけしないためにも、サービス向上に努めさせていただきます。またのご利用心よりお待ちしております。
I had a great time being able to touch my favorite dolphins directly!
大好きなイルカにじかに触れることができてとても楽しかったです!
The shuttle bus was shared with foreigners, but that was also part of the joy of traveling and it was a lot of fun. Snorkeling in the beautiful sea was amazing, and eating a hamburger on the water was also fantastic. I made some wonderful memories! (^^)
迎えのバスが外人さんとの混載だったのですが、それもまた旅の醍醐味で大変楽しかったです。
きれいな海でのシュノーケルも最高、海上で食べるハンバーガーもまた最高。
とてもいい思い出が出来ました(^^)
The staff was very accommodating, and overall, I had a good time. However, the main focus of this tour was supposed to be "swimming with dolphins." The time spent seeing dolphins in the water was surprisingly short, just a few seconds, and they were quite far away. I thought there would be more to it, but I was quickly told to return to the boat, and then we moved on to a spot with turtles and tropical fish. During the transfer, I saw another company snorkeling very close to dolphins jumping, and I was really envious. They must have noticed the short time we had with the dolphins, as we went back to the dolphin point at the end, where we could see them from the boat. However, if the tour is just about seeing dolphins, there are cheaper options available. I hate to be repetitive, but "swimming with dolphins" was the reason I joined this tour... I understand that they are wild animals, but I wish we had been taken to another dolphin point instead of the turtle point after the first stop.
スタッフの方の対応もよく、全体的には楽しめました。
が・・・このツアーのメインは“イルカと泳ぐ”のはず。海の中でイルカを見られたのは驚くほど短く、ほんの数秒。しかもかなり遠い。まさかそれで終わりではないだろうと思っていたのに、すぐに船に戻れと言われ、その後はカメや熱帯魚のいるポイントへ。移動中、別の会社がイルカのジャンプしているすぐ近くでスノーケルしているのが見えて、とってもうらやましかったです。さすがにメインのイルカの時間の短さを気にして下さったのか、最後に再度イルカのポイントへ行き、船の上からイルカを見ることはできましたが、イルカを見るだけのツアーならもっと安いツアーがあります。しつこいようですが、“イルカと泳ぐ”がこのツアーに参加した目的だったのに・・・
野生の生き物なのでしょうがないという気持ちもありますが、最初のポイントの後に、カメポイントではなく、別のイルカポイントに連れて行ってほしかったです。
Thank you for participating. We regret that you were unable to experience swimming closely with wild dolphins this time. Our captain assesses the sea conditions of the day and guides you to the best spots where wild dolphins are known to pass. However, please understand that, due to the nature of wild animals, the number of opportunities to swim with them and the distance to the dolphins can vary from day to day.
ご参加いただき有難うございます。このたびは水中で野生のイルカと間近で一緒に泳ぐ体験をしていただけなかったようで残念に思っております。船長がその日の海の状況を見て、野生のイルカがいるベストスポット(イルカの通り道)へご案内させていただくようにしておりますが、自然の生き物のため、日により一緒に泳げる回数やイルカとの距離は変化しておりますことご了承ください。
Booked this sailing sunset cruise for myself and my beautiful wife. We have done sailing sunset cruises before in Mexico so knew what to expect and initial indications were this would be pretty standard fare for what we've experienced. However, the desire was to be able to appreciate a couple hours sailing while appreciating a beautiful sunset. We weren't looking for anything grandiose. But, we were impressed by the all male staff not being over-the-top on trying to "cheese" up the cruise but were good to let the experience of the sunset be the excitement for the guests. However, about 40 minutes into the cruise the captain asked loudly if we wanted to see dolphins. He immediately swung the boat toward a school of Hawaiian Spinner Dolphins and we were fortunate to spend the next 10-15 minutes sailing along with them playing all around the boat including swimming and playing in the wake at the bow of the boat. There was a school of 50+ dolphins all around us. What an amazing exper
The food was absolutely wonderful and delicious. Thank you very much.
料理が非常にすばらしく、おいしかったです。
ありがとうございました。
I joined to see dolphins. The tour was amazing as I got to see the beautiful scenery of the West Coast and meet dolphins. The staff's service was also wonderful, and I had a great time. Thank you very much.
イルカを見たくて参加しました。
西海岸のきれいな景色を見て、さらにイルカにも会えて、最高なツアーでした。
スタッフの方の対応もすばらしく、とても楽しめました。
ありがとうございました。
The shuttle service was punctual, which is great for Japanese guests. The pool had many slides that you don't typically find in Japan, so the kids were thrilled and had a lot of fun!
送迎の時間などがキッチリしていて、日本人向けでとてもいいです。
プールは日本にないようなスライダーが沢山あったので
子供達も大興奮で楽しめました♪
It was a great tour! I would recommend it to everyone!
I participated with a friend.
First, the hula instructor teaches in a fun way. They also lend you props, so even those who are not feeling motivated will get excited (laughs).
Next, we went to the sea to meet dolphins! Although the time we spent swimming together was short, we were able to swim with dolphins and turtles! Even if you don't encounter dolphins, I think it's a tour that can still be enjoyed thanks to the various performances by the staff on the boat (including dance and jokes).
I definitely want to participate again♪
By the way, it gets quite cold after swimming, so don't forget to bring a jacket!!
友人と2人で参加しました。
最初にフラ、フラの先生が楽しく教えてくれます。
小道具も貸してもらえるので、気乗りがしない人でもテンションがあがりますよ(笑
次にイルカに会いに海へ!
間近で一緒に泳げた時間は少なかったのですが、イルカ&亀と泳ぐが出来ました!
最悪イルカと遭遇出来なくても、船上スタッフのいろいろなパフォーマンス(ダンスあり、ギャグあり)があるので、それなりに楽しめるツアーだと思います。
是非、また参加したいです♪
ちなみに、泳いだ後はかなり寒いので上着を忘れずに!!
There were a lot of whale families. The prices are reasonable, and meals are included, so families traveling to Hawaii during this time should definitely participate. My family was very pleased.
クジラのファミリーが沢山いました。
金額も安いし 食事もついているので家族連れでこの時期にハワイに行かれる方は絶対に参加したほうがいいです。
家族にとても喜ばれました。
It's the Star of Honolulu.
The whale season has arrived again. This year, the boat will start from December 26, 2011, due to dry dock maintenance.
As mentioned in the comments, we definitely want our Japanese customers to see the natural humpback whales. Thank you for your comments.

予約課
The whole evening went very smooth, from the Transportation pick up to the actual cruise. Very well organized and the food was really good. The entertainment was very enjoyable as well, and everyone in our dinning area seemed to enjoy the evening. The sunset was very nice even on a cloudy evening. The view back into Waikiki was amazing.
I participated in the early morning plan.
The tour included sea turtle watching, a sandbar, and snorkeling, all packed into the morning, and I had a great time. While I think it would be nice to spend a leisurely time at the sandbar in Kaneohe Bay, this plan was perfect for us since we wanted to go shopping in the afternoon!
When we arrived at the sea turtle point, everyone searched for the turtles together. The crew and captain were quick to spot them. Although we couldn't see them up close, we were desperately trying to find the turtles popping their heads up here and there. It was so much fun! On this day, we also encountered three manta rays swimming in circles. According to the guide, it's quite rare to see manta rays. Lucky us♪
Unfortunately, the sandbar wasn't visible, but I was able to experience the thrill of standing in the middle of the ocean! The guide instructed us on various poses and took photos in order. Thank you! The views of both the ocean and the mountains were absolutely stunning and picturesque.
Finally, we went snorkeling! There was a snorkeling spot right next to the sandbar where we could see many yellow fish. The explanations were thorough, so I felt at ease. Even if I got scared, it was close enough to quickly return to the sandbar.
I was very satisfied to be able to see such beautiful scenery just half a day away from Waikiki!☆
早朝プランに参加しました。
ウミガメウォッチ、サンドバー、シュノーケルと午前中だけのツアーですが盛りだくさんで、
とっても楽しむことができました。
ゆっくり、サンドバーのあるカネオヘ湾で過ごすのもいいと思いますが、
午後からはショッピングに行きたかった私達にはピッタリのプランでした!!
ウミガメポイントに着いたらみんなでカメさん探します。
クルーやキャプテンはさすがに探すの早いです。
近くで見ることができなかったのですが、あっちだ!こっちだ!ってチョコっと顔をだすカメさんを
探すのに必死でした。とっても楽しかったです。
この日はクルクル円を書いているマンタ3頭にも出会うことができました。
ガイドさん曰く、マンタにはなかなか会えないようです。ラッキー♪
サンドバーは残念ながら顔を出していなかったのですが、
十分海の真ん中に立っている!っていう感動を味わうことができました。
ガイドさんがいろいろポーズを指示してくれて写真を順番に撮ってくれます。ありがとうございました!
海側も山側もとっても素敵な景色が広がっていて絵になります。
最後はシュノーケル♪サンドバーのすぐ横にシュノーケルスポットがあり
黄色の魚をたくさん見ることができました。
説明もしっかりしてくれるので安心です^^怖くなってもサンドバーまですぐ戻れる距離でした。
半日でワイキキから離れてこんなに美しい景色をみれるなんて大満足です☆
Our plane was late and we had a sweet lady waiting for us. I would use this company time and time again. They can be trusted!
The sandbar was about knee-deep, but the water was very clear and the color of the sea was beautiful, which was really great. I took a lot of photos. At the sea turtle spot, I was able to see many sea turtles. There were also plenty of fish while snorkeling. For lunch, they made us hamburgers, and I was very satisfied! The staff were all very kind, and it was a lot of fun.
There are no changing facilities, so on the way back, you'll be on the bus with your wet swimsuit for about an hour to Waikiki. It’s a good idea to have a T-shirt, hoodie, or dress that you can put on over your swimsuit!
サンドバーはひざ下くらいでしたが、透明度も高くて、海の色がきれいで、とってもよかったです。いっぱい写真撮っちゃいました。海亀スポットでは、たくさんの海亀が見れました。シュノーケリングも魚がたくさんいます。ランチもハンバーガーをつくってくれて、とても満足です!スタッフの方も皆さんとっても親切でたのしかったです。
着替えるところはないので、帰りは、濡れた水着のままバスに揺られてワイキキまで一時間弱くらいなので、そのまま上から着れるTシャツやパーカ、ワンピなどあったほうがいいですよ!
I was moved to see dolphins swimming right in front of me (tears). It's wonderful to be able to swim with them♪( ´▽`)
イルカが目の前で泳いでるのに感動(泣)
一緒に泳げるって素敵だよ♪( ´▽`)
I was moved to see turtles swimming and rays swimming in circles in a group up close. The sandbar was about ankle-deep, and the sand was very beautiful. I could see the coral reef while snorkeling, but I couldn't reach it, and small fish were swimming around. It was a series of emotional experiences for me.
カメが泳ぐのとエイが群れで円を描いて泳ぐのが近くで見れ感動しました。砂州の上は、くるぶしほどの深さで砂はとてもきれいでした。サンゴ礁は、シュノーケルで見えているのに足が届かず小さな魚が泳いでました。初めての経験で感動の連続でした。
We cruised until we reached the point where we boarded the submarine! The inside of the submarine was a bit cramped, and the windows were smaller than I expected, but I got to see the wreckage of a Japanese airplane that sank long ago and also spotted some sea turtles, experiencing something out of the ordinary.
潜水艦に乗るまではクルーズし、潜水艦に乗る地点まで行きます!潜水艦内は少し狭く窓は思ったより小さいですが、昔沈没した日本の飛行機遺跡を見たり、海がめを見たり非日常を味わいましたよ。
I was really looking forward to this tour during my trip, and it was truly, truly enjoyable!! The scenery was beautiful, and the staff were kind, which made me feel at ease throughout the tour. I went with three friends, and everyone was extremely satisfied, saying this tour was the best! I would definitely recommend it to anyone going to Hawaii!!
旅行のなかでこのツアーを一番楽しみにしていたのですが、本当に本当に楽しかったです!!
景色がきれいなのはもちろん、スタッフのみなさんもやさしくて安心してツアーにのぞむことができました☆
友人3人といったのですが、みんなこのツアーが一番だったと大満足です☆☆
ハワイに行く人がいればおすすめしたいと思います!!
We participated in the afternoon session with our family of three, including our 2-year-old. First, I recommend checking the website for low tide days and making a reservation. Since it wasn't low tide this time, even in the shallowest areas, the water reached about our bottoms, and we couldn't see the beautifully exposed sandbar as in the photos. The weather was also quite cloudy, so when we got fully wet, it felt particularly cold when we got out. For those who are sensitive to the cold, I recommend keeping your upper body dry. Still, we were able to see sea turtles swimming near the boat, and if you're lucky, they might come close to you. The sea was beautiful, and we were quite satisfied. The food was delicious too. Small children cannot participate in snorkeling after landing on the sandbar (an adult must accompany the child), but we didn't get bored as we could eat first or watch turtles from the boat. The staff were all cheerful and fun, which was great. They spoke a bit quickly, but I guess that's understandable since they say the same things every day. They strongly advise against bringing anything other than waterproof cameras during the sandbar landing. We were a bit anxious about that and wanted to take family photos, so we requested a DVD, which turned out quite well. The DVD was handed over at a store near DFS that night. Since it was cash on delivery, we didn't need any money when boarding. However, I slightly regret not bringing a camera in a waterproof case. If I have the opportunity to go to Hawaii again, I would like to participate again.
家族三人(2歳児含む)で午後の会に参加しました。まずはHPより干潮の日を探して予約することをお勧めします。今回は干潮でなかったため、一番浅いところでもお尻の下くらいまで水につかる感じで、写真のようなきれいに干上がったサンドバーをみることはできませんでした。そして天気も曇りがちだったので、全身水に濡れると、あがった時にことさら寒かったです。寒がりな方は上半身を濡らさないことをお勧めします。それでも船の近くをウミガメが泳ぎ、運が良ければぶつかって?来たり、海もきれいで十分満足できるものでした。お食事もおいしかったですよ。小さい子供は、サンドバー上陸後のシュノーケリングには参加できません(大人一人は子供についていないといけません)が、先に食事をしたり、船から亀をみたり飽きることはありませんでした。スタッフも明るく楽しい方ばかりでよかったです。ちょっと早口だったけど、毎日同じことを言っているのだから仕方ないかな・・・。サンドバー上陸時は、防水カメラ以外の持参は強くお勧めできません、と説明されます。うちはそれも不安だし、家族の写真を撮りたかったのでDVDを依頼しましたがなかなか良かったです。DVDは当日夜にはDFS傍の店で手渡し。代金引き換えなので、乗船時はお金の必要はありません。でも、防水ケースとかに入れてカメラ持参すればよかったかな、とちょっと後悔です。もしまたハワイにいく機会があったら参加したいと思います。
The submarine tour felt a bit lacking in visibility and there seemed to be fewer schools of fish for someone like me who enjoys diving. However, the scenery during the boat ride to the submarine was amazing! Seeing Diamond Head and the hotel zone from the sea is such a wonderful experience.
潜水艦での周遊は、ダイビングをする私にはちょっと透明度が悪く魚の群れが少なかった様に感じます。しかし潜水艦に乗るまでに船で移動するのですが、その景色が最高!海からダイヤモンドヘッド、ホテルゾーンを見るってこんなにいいものなのですね。
The guide who took care of us was very cheerful and made everyone around us enjoy themselves!!! Although the snorkeling time was shorter than I expected, I was able to see a pod of dolphins up close, and I had a really fun time!!! I would love to have their help again when I go to Hawaii♪ Thank you very much!!! The taro chips and hamburger were delicious too---☆
お世話になったガイドさんは皆とても明るくてで周りを楽しませてくれました!!!
思ったよりシュノーケリングの時間は少なかったけれど、
イルカの群れを間近でみることが出来て、とても楽しい時間を過ごせました!!!
またHawaiiへ行ったらお世話になりたいです♪
ありがとうございました!!!
タロイモ(~)チップス・ハンバーガーも美味しかったですよ---☆
We had a great time during our trip! The service we received from the whole staff was exceptional! Everyone was very helpful and fun! They made sure we were comfortable and enjoying ourselves. I was also impressed that they gave extra attention to my dad who is a senior and took care of him. I am so glad I took my friends and family on this adventure and will definitely recommend this excursion to friends visiting Oahu!
The dolphins are so cute! ☆☆
I recommend it for those seeking relaxation.
However, the waiting time and the wait for the bus back are a bit long...
とにかくイルカがカワイイ☆☆
癒しを求めている人にお勧めです。
ただ、待ち時間と帰りのバスの待ち時間がちょっと長いかなあ・・・
