Oahu
Nice but noisy lots of children around.
There is no place like Cptn.Bobs for a good adventure, good time
and good fun at all.
Thank you very very much!!!!!!

I had the experience of touching a dolphin for the first time in my life, and I was captivated by it.
生まれて初めて触って、イルカに摑まり、乗れる経験が出来ました。
Since we had relatives with us at the ceremony, including a 3-year-old and a 1.5-year-old, we used it as an activity that everyone could enjoy together. The staff really got everyone excited, and we had a great time! ^^;
挙式で連れて行った親族の中に3歳と1歳半の子供もいたので皆で楽しめるアクティビティとして利用しました。スタッフが盛り上げてくれて、楽しめました^^;
The crew was amazing and knowledgable. The only snorkel/sunset cruise I could find. A Blast!
The staff's explanations in Japanese were easy to understand and sufficient for my 4-year-old daughter who participated with me. We were very excited to see many sea turtles. The only slight disappointment was that, although the waves were calm, the visibility wasn't as clear as I had expected.
スタッフの日本語の説明は聞き取りやすく、一緒に参加した4歳の娘にも十分な説明でした。たくさんの海ガメを見ることができ大興奮でした。少し残念だったのは、波も静かでしたが予想していたほどクリアには見えなかった事かな。
The people were waiting with signs as soon as we entered the terminal. The gave the kids their candy leis and they really enjoyed the experience of arriving in Honolulu.
I had to cancel last time because I caught a cold, so I went for a revenge trip.
On July 13th, it was sunny in Waikiki, but the ocean in Heaven was cloudy... It was cold, but the staff's support was excellent! I had a great time.
It was my first time snorkeling, but I felt very safe with the staff watching over us. The fish and corals were absolutely amazing! I was moved by the incredible color of the ocean when the sun peeked through!
I want to go again.
前回風邪を引いてキャンセルしてしまったので、リベンジしてきました。
7/13の参加で、ワイキキでは晴天だったのに、天国の海は曇り。。。寒かったですが、スタッフさんの対応もばっちり!とても楽しめました。
シュノーケリングは初挑戦でしたが、スタッフさんが見守ってる中だったのでとても安心できました。そして、魚もサンゴもとてもすばらしかった!
晴れ間が覗いた時の海の色のすごさには感動しました!
また行きたいです。
At the sandbar between the seas, I felt the mystery of nature, it was amazing! For my first time snorkeling, I cautiously ventured from the sandbar to a point where the sea turned a deep blue. I was half scared and half excited, but there were so many fish in the coral reef, it was incredible! Unfortunately, my friend and I couldn't quite grasp the snorkeling techniques and had to give up on going to the deeper part of the sea, but it seemed we practiced a lot at the sandbar. Later, we went to Hanauma Bay for a revenge attempt, and it seems our practice paid off as we were able to see the fish. The staff lady at the sandbar checks if you can snorkel, so it's better not to push yourself too hard.
On that day, there were about 40 participants in the morning session, but in the afternoon when I joined, there were only about 10 people, allowing us to enjoy the scenery comfortably. I also got to taste the much-anticipated malasada, and the BBQ was delicious, it was just the best! Additionally, I brought a waterproof case for my digital camera, which made it so much fun. The photos are filled with my amateurish attempts, but I definitely recommend everyone to bring a waterproof camera. (Photos 5 and 6 are from Hanauma.) There was also a playful and mischievous captain who suddenly showed us a sea cucumber right in front of us, making it a truly enjoyable day.
海と海の間にあるサンドバーで、自然の神秘を感じすごーい?。そして人生初のシュノーケルで、サンドバーから恐る恐る海が濃い青に変わっているポイントへ。怖さとワクワクが半分でしたが、さんご礁にお魚いっぱいですごーい、すごーーい?。残念ながら、私と同行の友人はシュノーケルのコツがつかめず、海が深いポイントへは断念しましたが、サンドバーでずっと練習していた様で、後日ハナウマ湾へリベンジに行ったのですが練習の成果が出てお魚を見る事が出来た様です。サンドバーでスタッフのお姉さんがシュノーケル出来るか見てくれますので余り無理はしない方が良いですね。
この日午前便は40名程の参加者がいた様ですが、私が参加した午後は10名程度でゆったり景色を見る事が出来ました。期待のマラサダ?も食し、BBQも美味しくってもうサイコー★ あと、私はデジカメを防水仕様に出来るウォータープルーフケースを持っていったのですっごい楽しめました。ど素人ぶりが満載な写真ですが、皆様も是非カメラは防水を持っていかれる事をおススメいたします。(5・6枚目はハナウマ) イキナリなまこを握って目の前に出してくるおちゃめでいたずらっ子なキャプテンもいて本当に楽しい1日でした。
My parents enjoyed this suprise - the lady who met them was very helpful :)
This is my third time participating after three years. I strayed to other companies twice, but I realized this is the place for me and came back. This time, I was able to meet and swim with many dolphins up close. About three pods came by alternately, and they swam around the catamaran for quite a long time.
After that, I went snorkeling and kayaking, enjoyed delicious burgers and fruits made by the staff, and danced the hula on the way back. There really are no misses here! I’ve participated in various ways—group, family, and solo—but the staff always made it fun, and I never felt anxious at all.
The tea service after coming out of the water and the thoughtful gestures during the cruise... the staff's service is top-notch. The cost performance might be a little higher than others, but it’s definitely worth it. I’ll be participating again soon!
3年ぶり3度目の参加です。
他社で2回浮気をして、やっぱココだと思って帰ってきました。今回もたくさんのイルカ達と会えて至近距離で泳げました☆
3つくらいの群れが交互にやってきて、随分長い時間カタマランの周りを泳いでました。
それからシュノーケル、カヤックサーフィンをして、パパさんの美味しいバーガーとフルーツを食べてフラを踊りながら帰ってきました。
ほんと外れ無し!!
グループ・家族・一人参加と色々な形で参加しましたが、いつでもスタッフのみんなが楽しませてくれて、不安な思いは全く感じませんでした。
海から上がった時のお茶のサービスや、クルージング中の細やかな心使い・・・と、スタッフさん達のサービスはピカイチです。コストパフォーマンスだけは・・・他よりもちょっとだけ高いかもしれませんが、その価値は充分アリです♪
また近いうちに参加しに行きます☆
I participated with my family. I was the only one participating while the rest of my family watched from the bench. It felt a bit lonely to participate alone, but I ended up in a group with other Japanese people, and the staff provided explanations in broken Japanese. There are also Japanese staff members in the park, so I felt reassured. The time spent interacting with the dolphins is about 30 minutes, but if you love dolphins, I think you'll be satisfied paying this price. Additionally, if you have companions, they can take photos nearby, which is helpful. While the paid photos are certainly well-taken up close, I was also quite satisfied with the regular snapshot photos.
家族で参加しました。私だけ参加して残りの家族はベンチから見学です。一人で参加するのは心細いですが日本人同士一緒のグループになりましたし、スタッフの方も片言の日本語で説明してくれます。園内には日本人スタッフもいるので安心です。イルカと触れ合える時間は正味30分程度ですが、イルカ好きならこの値段を払っても満足できると思います。なお同行者がいる場合は近くで写真を撮ってもらえるので助かります。有料の写真は間近で撮ってくれるので確かによい写りでしょうが、普通のスナップ写真でも十分満足できました。
I ordered this as a surprise for my daughter. Didn't catch the greeter's name as we were exhausted, but her friendly face was waiting right by the exit gate with a sign that had my daughter's name clearly marked. Our flight had been delayed, and while she was friendly, she appreciated that we weren't feeling our best. I ordered the standard lei for my daughter hoping it wouldn't set off her allergies. Smelled great, looked beautiful and no reaction. She took us to baggage claim and made sure we had transportation to the hotel. I would definitely do this again for other friends or family coming to visit.
First time in Hawaii the lady made us fell very welcome and helped us get our luggage and find our ride.
The boat ride to the submarine was pleasant, and it was interesting since it was my first experience on a submarine.
The waves were strong, so the water was murky, but it was still nice to see fish and turtles.
It can be a bit rocky, so those who are prone to motion sickness might get seasick quickly.
I recommend the Japanese guide option.
潜水艦までの船も気持ちが良くて、潜水艦も初体験なので面白かったです。
波が強かったので、水中も濁ってしまっていましたが、それでも魚やカメも見れて良かったです。
揺れるので、乗り物に弱い方はすぐ酔ってしまうと思います。
日本語ガイドの時間がおすすめです。
For some reason, I had never been to "Sand Island." Until now, I had been avoiding tours that offered a relaxing experience, focusing instead on shopping and other option tours, but this was an eye-opening experience.
なぜか「サンドアイランド」だけは入ったことがありませんでした。これまではショッピングや他のオプションツアーばかりでゆったり時間を過ごすツアーは敬遠していましたが、目からウロコの体験でした。
On June 12, I participated in the Royal Swim with my boyfriend. I had always dreamed of touching dolphins after visiting aquariums in Japan and watching dolphin shows. Although it was a bit pricey at $215, I decided to join and made my reservation here. The confirmation email came quickly, which was reassuring.
On the day of the event, the pickup was right on time. There were many foreigners, and the driver spoke English. When we arrived at Sea Life Park, there was someone at the entrance who spoke Japanese and provided explanations. However, the dolphin trainers did not speak Japanese, which was a bit confusing, but as mentioned in other reviews, I managed to follow along by watching the other foreigners.
The activities included cheek rubs, kisses, holding onto the dorsal fin, and having the dolphins push my feet, all done randomly with 10 participants to keep the dolphins engaged. I was the first to go, and I made a little mistake. There were 10 of us in the Royal Swim, and apart from my boyfriend and me, everyone else was American. Since other programs were cheaper, there were about 20 to 30 participants in those sessions at the same time, which made me feel a bit superior.
After the program, some participants from the other programs mentioned, "I wish I had done the Royal Swim." The dolphins were quite large and chubby, which made my boyfriend a bit nervous (laughs). The dolphins were truly intelligent, clever, and obedient; I was so moved during the program that I cried. I highly recommend it. I purchased the DVD for $50, and he bought two photos.
After the program, while waiting to leave, there were shows that were quite different from those at Japanese aquariums. We were able to see them up close, and when I sat in the front row, a penguin came right up to my feet, which was also touching. It was very quiet, so moving seats was completely fine. Time flew by.
On the way back, the driver stopped briefly at a viewpoint of Hanauma Bay and gave us time to take photos. (This stop isn't specifically mentioned in the program, so it might not happen depending on the driver.) Thank you for such a precious experience. This was my fifth time in Hawaii, and one of my dreams has come true!
6/12にロイヤルスイムに彼氏と参加しました。
日本でも、水族館に行って、イルカのショウなどを見て、いつかイルカに触れてみたいという夢を持っていた私・・・。
$215と高めだったけど、今回参加を決意して、こちらで申込をしました。メールで予約確定と返事がくるのも早く、安心できました。
当日は時間きっちりにお迎えが来てくれました。外国人の方も多くドライバーは英語でした。シーライフパークに着くと、入口では、日本語対応の方が居て、説明をしてくれました。
ただし、イルカのトレーナーの方は日本語が話せないので、ちょっと戸惑いましたが、こちらの口コミであるように、他の外国人の方がやるのを、見様見真似でなんとかなりました。?頬づり&キス、?背びれつかまり、?足をイルカに押してもらう はイルカが飽きないように、10人ランダムに順不同で行います。?は1番先に私がやったので、ちょっと失敗してしまいました。。
私の時にはロイヤルスイムは10人での参加で、私と彼氏以外は全員アメリカ人。
やはり他のプログラムは値段が安めなので同時刻の参加者は20~30人ほどだったので、私的には優越感も感じました。
プログラム終了後、他のプログラム参加者は、『ロイヤルにすれば良かったな』と言ってきた人も居ましたよ。
かなり大きな丸々太ったイルカ達だったので、彼氏はちょっとビビッていました(笑)
本当にイルカちゃんは賢くて利口で従順でプログラムの最中感動で泣いちゃいました。本当おすすめです。
私はDVD$50で購入。彼は写真を2枚購入しちゃいました。
プログラムが終わって帰りの時間までの間も、日本の水族館とはまた一味違って、ショウなどをやっていたのですが、とても近くで見れて、1番前に座って見ていたらペンギンが足元まで来てくれて、これもまた感動しちゃいました。とても空いているので、席の移動も全然OK。時間があっという間に過ぎました。
帰りにはドライバーさんが、ハナウマ湾のビューポイントで少し停車してくれて、写真を撮る時間をくれました。(こちらは特にプログラムには書いてないので、ドライバーさんによっては寄らない場合もあるかもしれませんが・・・。
本当に貴重な体験をありがとうございました。
私はハワイ5回目ですが、夢がひとつ叶いました♪
I participated in the afternoon barbecue event. I was immediately given a malasada, and my spirits were high! With the staff's cheers, we began. We took a boat to the sandbar, and upon arrival, it felt like paradise. It was truly Hawaii. We enjoyed the sandbar in a private setting. The BBQ that followed was quite substantial and incredibly delicious. By chance, we joined a tour hosted by a Japanese celebrity and encountered live celebrities. Lucky!! At the sandbar, there was also a professional photographer taking pictures (to be posted on the website), which is recommended for couples. After enjoying the beautiful sea while snorkeling, we returned to the boat and encountered turtles. As we quietly waited for the turtles, we spotted their shells in the waves. We were able to see them three times (three turtles), which was very satisfying. We were blessed with good weather, and it became a wonderful memory.
午後のバーベキュー付に参加しました。いきなりマラサダをもらい気分は上々!!スタッフの掛け声とともに、始まりました。サンドバーまで船で行き、着けばそこは天国。まさにハワイ。貸切状態で、サンドバーを満喫しました。その後のBBQもかなりのボリュームと、かなりのおいしさ。たまたま、日本の芸能人の主催するツアーとも一緒になり、生芸能人にも遭遇。ラッキー!!サンドバーではプロカメラマンによる写真撮影(HPに掲載)もあり、カップルにもお勧め。きれいな海をシューノーケルで廻り、満喫した後は船に戻り、亀との遭遇。静かに亀を待っていると、波間に甲羅が。三度も目撃でき(三カメ)大満足。好天にも恵まれ、とてもよい思い出になりました。
The contrast of the blue sky, emerald green sea, and sandbar was very beautiful, and the sandbar exceeded my expectations. We walked about five minutes through knee-deep water from the boat to the sandbar. I read reviews beforehand and was glad I brought an underwater camera. (They were selling underwater cameras on the boat for $20 for participants who didn't bring one.)
The snorkeling was not enjoyable, possibly due to the previous day's weather, as the water clarity was poor and there were hardly any fish. I was disappointed since I participated with the intention of snorkeling. In this tour, snorkeling is done barefoot without fins.
I think this is a good tour for those who want to enjoy the sandbar.
青い空とエメラルドグリーンの海とサンドバーのコントラストがとてもキレイで、サンドバーは期待以上でした。
船からサンドバーまで膝下ぐらいの水位のある海を5分ぐらい歩きます。事前に口コミを読んで、水中カメラを持参して良かったです。(水中カメラを持参していない参加者向けに、船上で水中カメラを20ドルで販売していました。)
シュノーケリングは前日の天候の影響もあってか海の透明度が悪く、魚もほとんどいなく楽しめませんでした。
私は、シュノーケリング目的で今回参加したため残念でした。このツアーでのシュノーケリングは、フィンを付けず、素足で行います。
サンドバーを楽しむために参加するには、良いツアーだと思います。
this was a very relaxing and romantic excursion of tranquility.
great food and entertainment. the scenery was awesome and the sunset was glorius. the people who entertained and served were impeccable in quality
It was such a wonderful experience that I can still remember the images vividly. The Ko'olau mountain range viewed from the sea was wrapped in deep mystery, contrasting with the sparkling ocean, and it captivated me. While snorkeling, I discovered a sea turtle swimming near the surface in the blue sea! Although it was only for a few seconds, being able to swim alongside it is an unforgettable memory for a lifetime. When we landed on the sandbar, the angle of the light made the sea display different colors, sparkling in 360 degrees. When I asked the guide to take some photos, they captured great shots by changing the background with prompts like, "Jump in this scenery" and "Sit in the water." I ended up with some beautiful pictures. Additionally, I made a reservation two days before departing for Hawaii at 11:00 PM Japan time, and I received a confirmation reply just six hours later, which allowed me to leave for Hawaii with peace of mind. Since it was a plan that allowed us to return to the hotel in the morning, we were able to enjoy the pool and shopping in the afternoon. I checked the tide conditions in advance before applying, so the sandbar was well formed.
今でもその映像が思い出せるほど素敵な経験でした。海から一望するコオラウ山脈は、輝く海とは反対に深い神秘に包まれ引きつけられました。シュノーケリングでは青い海の中、海面近くを泳ぐウミガメを発見!数十秒でしたが一緒に泳ぐことができて忘れられない一生の思いでです。サンドバーへ上陸すると、光りの角度によって海が違う色をなしていて360度キラキラとしていました。ガイドの方にシャッターを御願いすると、「この景色でジャンプ」「海に入って座って」などバックに映る景色を変えながら撮影をしてくれたので、素敵な写真も出来上がりました。また、ハワイへ発つ2日前日本時間の23:00に予約をしたのですが、6時間後には正式に受付け完了の返信が届き、安心してハワイに発つことができました。午前中にホテルへ戻れるプランなので、午後はプールや買い物に行けました。事前に干潮の状態を確認して申込みをしたのでサンドバーはしっかりとできていました。
My husband and I were first time visitors to Hawaii and wanted the full experience, including the lei greeting. We had already indulged by flying first class so we were nice and relaxed and so excited to be in Hawaii! The greeter was literally right at the gate so we saw her right away. Unfortunately it was just some chick in a flowered "Hawaii" shirt with our names on a piece of paper and a plastic grocery bag who placed our leis, said welcome to Hawaii and pointed us in the wrong direction to the baggage claim. I had planned on giving her a tip of a couple bucks but she bailed so quickly I didn't even get a chance. At least she stuck around long enough to take a pic of my husband & I with our leis! Luckily my husband and I were in such a great mood and happy to be there we just laughed it off and went on our way. The leis were beautiful and lasted several days, unfortunately we had no way to keep them cool and make them last longer, but we have wonderful pictures as keepsakes
My husband and were first time visitors to Hawaii and this seemed like a nice thing to do. We got the 3 star package with the celebration plan and definitely had a great time. This was our last planned event during our stay and it was a wonderful way to spend our last night in Hawaii. We were quickly shown to our table and the dinner service went smoothly from there. We went up to the deck above several times to check out the view of Waikiki Beach all the way down to Diamond Head. Dinner was wonderful (although a little messy since we had the lobster) and the entertainment (a jazz duo with a saxophonist for a couple numbers) during dinner was lovely. We came back to our table at one point to find the photo they took right after we boarded sitting in a very nice cover on our table, free with the package we ordered. The show after dinner was quite entertaining, especially when they got everyone in the room up on their feet and dancing in one big mass of people, it was so much fun!
It was just what the doctor ordered after 12 hours of travel!
A must do!!!!!!!!
For our 15th anniversary, I surprised my wife with Honeymoon Leis and silk leis for our kids. They were delightfully surprised to be greeted by our friendly greeter as we arived in Honolulu. The leis were beautiful. Our greeter showed us through the airpoert to our connecting flight and was very helpful with island information.
I participated in Dolphin Adventure. It was a great experience as I swam with dolphins for the first time! Since it was a weekday, the park was very quiet, and I was able to enjoy a relaxing day. The dolphin and seal shows were also a lot of fun. The scenery from the park, surrounded by mountains and the sea, was soothing.
ドルフィンアドベンチャーに参加しました。
初めてイルカにつかまって泳いだのでとても良い体験ができました!平日だったので、園内はとても空いてて、のんびりした一日を過ごすことができました。イルカやアザラシのショーもとても楽しかったです。
園内からみる風景も(山と海)自然に囲まれてて癒されました。
I made the arrangements so far in advance to surprise my wife that I forgot I had made them. We were equally surprised when we got off the plan and saw the greeter holding our name in the air! The quality of the lei's were excellent and the greeter was extremely friendly. She escorted us to our baggage claim and made sure we were able to get to our ground transportation. Very well done and highly recommended, especially for first timers.
What a surprise for my wife. It was our 25th anniversary and her first time in Honolulu. The Lei greeting was the icing on the cake as she had seen this many times on TV. The staff member met us as promised with a fantastic matching Lei for each of us. My one regret is that real flowers don't last but it was worth it. She then gave us assistance by guiding us to the inter-island terminal.
I surprised my husband and two daughters by getting a Lei Greeting at the Airport.....and it was absolutely wonderful! The BEAUTIFUL young lady was waiting for us right as we got off the plane....holding up a sign with all of our names...and then after the AWESOME surprise of my family.....she presented us all with a gorgeous lei of orchids...everyone was really surprised and it made a terrific start to our vacation....She also walked us to baggage claim and then helped me find our driver....very, very helpful and a real sweetheart........I highly recommend this for anyone coming to Hawaii.....you won't forget it!!!
The slider here is amazing! I jumped down without thinking, and it was quite an experience. It's guaranteed to be thrilling and exciting. Since the ground below is hot, I recommend bringing flip-flops.
ここのスライダーはすごい!の一言です。何も考えずに飛び降りましたが、もう大変でした。すごい刺激で興奮すること請け合いです。下の地面が暑いのでビーチサンダルを持っていくことをお勧めします。
