Oahu
The lei greeter that we got was really nice and treated us well. Even my wife (who I surprised with this) liked it.
She sent us to the shuttle that would take us to our rented car and answered any questions we wanted to ask. I would recommend this to anyone!
We participated as a family. It's an experience that you don't get to have often, so of course, adults can enjoy it too, but the kids were definitely excited the whole time. They were thrilled to see so many fish and turtles. I'm glad we took them. It became a wonderful memory.
家族で参加しました。
なかなかできない体験ですので、もちろん大人も楽しめますが、やっぱり子供達は終始興奮でした。
たくさんのお魚や亀に大喜び。
連れて行ってよかったです。
とても良い思い出になりました。

Didn't get the name of our delivery girl, but after we received our lei, she helped us out by taking us directly to the busses that would take us to our airport.
I've since found that there are several other services like this, and dozens of shops near China Town, but in the end, I still felt this was the best value overall for what we received as a bonus; the assitance.
My family and I went on this tour last year, and we cannot wait to visit the islands once again to experience more whale watching!
The onboard whale expert was very knowlegable and even though my daughter peppered her with questions throughout the tour, she was very attentive and answered each one throughly.
I do wish that there was a bit more outside deck space since it was rather limited, but there was plenty of space indoors, and there were quite a few windows as well.
Great tour!
We participated as a family of four with our one-and-a-half-year-old twins. There are not many activities available for one-year-olds, so we created wonderful family memories. The kids were also happy to touch the dolphins, which was great. We had a lot of fun!
１歳半の双子と一緒に家族４人で参加しました。
１歳児から参加できるアクティビティは少ないので、とても良い家族の思い出ができました。
子供達もイルカに触って喜んでいたので良かったです。
楽しかったです♪

Our guide was coughing into the mike as he talked and we thought if he was sick, he should have stayed home. He could have at least removed the mike when he was coughing.
The tour itself was wonderful!
Loved the greeting and the cheerful attitude of the greeter. Was a perfect end to a long boring flight.
Nice tour - interesting tidbits along the way. I think the Explorer's Tour is worth the extra. You get to venture where the ropes are. You do some bending and ducking as you enter the various door entry areas on the ship. I think you get more out of the ship tour with the guide than just visiting without a tour guide.
ps - I selected good for families but that is also a judgment call depending on how mindful the children are in dealing with tight quarters and time-constraints to visit various areas of the ship.
Last year, I went with my 5-year-old and mom again.
I definitely recommend the Big Splash Pack.
After changing, first go get a free drink to quench your thirst.
It's a shame that we didn't get to try the FlowRider.
With bodyboarding, the instructor helps you, making it easy to take off.
My 5-year-old also got pushed into the big waves for their first long ride.
There are plenty of slides for small children, so they can play without getting bored.
The attraction called Shaka is especially thrilling to watch.
You should definitely give it a try.
The BBQ lunch was also a hit, so be sure to participate.
昨年に続き５才のちびとママ行ってきました。
だんぜんビックスプラッシュパックがおすすめです。
着替えたらまずは、フりードリンクを取りに行きのどを潤してください。
ダフローライダーは、やっていなかったのが残念。
ボディーボードは、インストラクターが押してくれるのでらくらくテイクオフができます。
５歳のチビも押してもらいうねりの大きいところから人生初のロングライディング。
小さい子供向けの滑り台もたくさんあって飽きないであそべます。
特にシャカというアトラクションは見ていてもすごいスリル。
ぜひお試しを。
お昼のBBQランチも合格点是非参加してみてください。

I participated for the first time, and it was even more beautiful and wonderful than I had expected. It seems that this tour is the only way to visit the real sandbar, and I'm glad I chose it. The staff's service was excellent, and I returned very satisfied.
初めて参加させて頂きましたが，思っていた以上に綺麗で
素晴らしい所でした。本物のサンドバーへ行けるのはこのツアーだけらしく，選んでよかったと思いました。スタッフの対応も最高で大変満足して帰ってきました。

I surprised my husband's first visit to Hawaii with a lei greeting . . . how can you go and not have a lei greeting anyway? They were right there when we arrived, escorted us to baggage claim and then contacted and escorted us to our shuttle which we had not expected. That was great since we were not sure where and how far we had to go to get our luggage, etc. I would highly recommend Hawaii Activities to everyone and would probably contact them again for my next visit.
Nice way to start your Hawaiian vacation
The staff was very close by with the most beautiful leis I have ever seen. They smelled so wonderful and made us feel so special especially since it was our 1st time to hawaii as well as our Honeymoon!! WE LOVED IT!!
I wanted a traditional Hawaiian greeting for my wife and friends when they arrived. It was absolutely great. It could not have started her vacation to the islands after a long flight onj a better note. She has been wearing the Lei everywhere she goes.
I was apprehensive about the submarine, but the staff was very professional, knowledgeable and made the experience a great one. Would highly recommend.
The explorer's tour is worth the extra money. Instead of just wandering around on a few decks you get a personally guided tour of about 4 secluded decks including one of the BIG 16 inch gun turrets. Very interesting to see how a battleship works.
We took the Sunset Dinner Cruise, had a great time and met some very nice people on the cruise. The sights were GREAT, the food was good the entertainment was good.
No pitching, No rolling, the cruise was very comfy.
The Hawaiian setting sun was so beautiful.
This was a great way to start our family Hawaiian vacation. There was something for everyone to do. We made fresh flower lei's, learned to play the ukelele, and had hula lessons. The staff was extremely friendly and accomodating. The lunch buffet had a very nice selection and was ono (yummy).
Two hours didn't seem quite long enough. There were so many activities that we didn't get much opportunity to just sit back and enjoy the view of Honolulu from the sea. I would recommend this for a family activity. I would go again, next time for the whale watching season.
This time, we came to Hawaii as a family for a wedding. We thought about doing some family activities, so we participated in a tour with Dolphin and You. I was a bit anxious since we had my 4-year-old nephew with us, but he was very happy to ride in a kayak and see dolphins up close, which relieved me!
There were many dolphins, sea turtles, and tropical fish swimming nearby, and it was very moving. The staff was also very friendly and attentive, making it a really enjoyable activity. The BBQ burgers they grilled on the boat were also very delicious. The hula lesson was a lot of fun too. I highly recommend this tour for anyone going to Hawaii.
Additionally, they offered to sell a DVD and a photo CD-ROM, and when I got home and looked at the photos, they turned out beautifully, which was truly moving again.
今回は結婚式のために家族でハワイにきました。何か家族でアクティビティーが出来ないかと思い今回ドルフィンアンドユーさんのツアーに参加しました。4歳の甥っ子もいたので少し不安でもありましたが、カヤックに乗せてもらって近くでいるかも見ることが出来とても喜んでいた様子でほっとしました！
近くでイルカや海がめ熱帯魚もたくさん泳いでいてとても感動しました。またスタッフの方もとてもフレンドリーでこまめに気を使っていただきとても楽しいアクティビティーとなりました。船の上で焼いてもらったBBQバーガーもとっても美味しかったです。ﾌﾗのレッスンもとても楽しかったです。
ハワイに行かれる方にはかなりおすすめのツアーでした。
あと、DVDと写真のCD-ROMを販売していただけたのですが、家に帰って写真をみてすごくきれいにうつっていてまた改めて感動しました。

I was so thrilled to see our greeter with our names on a card after we arrived five hours late. I was so sure no one would show up at 8:30 p.m. when we were supposed to arrive at 2:17. It was the first time my husband ever got leid! Thank you!
I participated in the afternoon BBQ tour on September 17. This was my first time on the tour to Kaneohe, and I had been a bit anxious since I had never had good weather before. However, the weather was really nice on the day of the tour. The water depth at the sandbar was about knee-deep (which is normal for this time of year), but the colors and clarity were truly beautiful. I wasn't expecting much from the staff's service or the BBQ, but both the variety and taste were of high quality for this type of tour. Snorkeling was optional. Knowing that there aren't many types or numbers of fish, we enjoyed the colors and clarity of the sea around the boat. Just swimming with goggles was fun! You can request a DVD for an additional fee. We were the only ones who ordered it, but I'm glad we did (the first photo I posted is one they took). It was $45. I think it's worth seeing the colors and clarity of the sea at least once. By the way, you can only see sea turtles from the boat, so if your goal is to see sea turtles, you might want to consider another tour.
9月17日に午後のBBQツアーに参加しました。カネオヘへのツアーは数回目でしたがこのツアーは初＆今まで天気に恵まれた事がなかったのでチョット不安。でも当日は本当にいい天気でした。サンドバーの水深は膝程（これはこの時期の普通だとか）でしたが、色と透明度は本当に美しかったです。スタッフの対応、BBQも期待していなかったのですが、種類、味共にこの手のツアーとしては質が高かったです。シュノケールは自由参加。もともとあまり魚の種類、数は多くないのを知っていたので、私達は船の回りで海の色と透明度を楽しんでいました。ゴーグルつけて泳いでるだけでも楽しいです！別料金でDVD作成が頼めます。頼んだのは私達だけでしたが頼んでヨカッタです（投稿写真1枚目は撮ってもらったものです）。＄４５でした。1度見ておいて損はない海の色と透明度だと思います。ちなみに海亀は船から見るだけなので、海亀目的ならば他のツアーがいいかも。

I was able to see wild dolphins swimming gracefully in the vast ocean up close, and I was excited beyond my years. Additionally, the hamburger made by the captain was incredibly delicious. I can't forget that taste! (*^^*) On the boat, there was a live ukulele performance, and the staff were friendly and engaging, making it a lot of fun. The relaxing atmosphere was soothing. I also enjoyed hula for the first time, and under the cheerful guidance of the instructor, it was truly delightful.
広い海の中で悠々と泳いでる野生のイルカをまじかで見ることが出来て年甲斐も無く興奮しました。と、共に・・・船長さんが作ってくれたハンバーガーはとてもおいしかったです。あの味が忘れられません(*^^*)！船上では、生のウクレレ演奏があったり、スタッフさん達が気さくに話しかけてくれたりカメラマンさんとても楽しくって。リラックスの出来る雰囲気に和みました。初めてのフラも、陽気な先生の楽しい指導のもと、すご~くなごみました~。

On September 15th (Monday), my spouse and I participated in the afternoon BBQ course. We became very interested after seeing a post on Alan1.net and decided to sign up.
On the day of the event, we were picked up on time, and after going to about four or five pickup locations, we had to wait for about 30 minutes at the last pickup spot, possibly due to a mix-up with other participants, but we departed safely. The driver seemed a bit irritated and didn’t say a word until we arrived, but there was a radio broadcast introducing the sandbar, featuring a lively young woman who enjoys entertaining participants.
After departing, there was an introduction of the crew, and the captain was a former sumo wrestler from the Higashi-Kan room who had to retire due to a serious injury. Our guide was Eri, who humorously referred to herself as the "Iijima Ai of Hawaii." She looked youthful and energetic, not at all like someone with a high school-aged child, and it turned out she was the same woman introduced on the radio.
We arrived at the sandbar in about 15 minutes, and the color of the sea was unlike anything I had ever seen, truly resembling "heavenly waters." We quickly entered the water and strolled along the sandbar. I thought walking over coral might be painful, but it felt just like walking on a sandy beach and was not bothersome at all. After about 30 minutes of walking, those who wished to participate could go snorkeling. When we moved to a depth of 20 meters, we could see various fish through our goggles.
When we returned to the boat, a barbecue was prepared to satisfy our hunger after all the activity. There was an all-you-can-eat option, and the amount provided was more than we could finish. The meat was tender and flavorful, and the foil-grilled asparagus was especially excellent.
After the meal, we set off for turtle watching. Eri guided us to a spot with a 99.9% guarantee of seeing turtles, and the boat was filled with excitement when we spotted them swimming.
I am grateful to Eri, who kept the atmosphere lively throughout the trip and didn’t mind my bad jokes. Thank you so much, Eri! This was my sixth visit to Hawaii, but I had no idea such a wonderful place existed. I definitely want to participate again next time.
９月１５日（月）午後のＢＢＱコースに夫婦で参加。Alan1.netの書き込みを見て大変興味がわいて申し込んだ。
当日は予定時間どおりにピックアップされ、その後４~５ヵ所ピックアップ場所を回ったが、最後のピックアップ場所で参加者との行き違いだったのか３０分程待たされたが無事出発。
ドライバーさんは、いらいらしていたのか着くまで一言も話さなかったが、車内のラジオでサンドバーを紹介したＦＭ放送が流され元気の良いお姉さんがいて参加者を楽しませるのが趣味との紹介もあった。
出港後現地に着く間クルーの紹介等があり、キャプテンは元
大相撲の東関部屋で力士の経験者で現役中に大怪我をしてやめたとの事。案内してくれるのはエリさんで自称ハワイの飯島愛と言う位で高校生のお子さんがいる年齢には見えない若々しく元気の良いお姉さんで、ラジオで紹介されたお姉さんはエリさんであることが判明。
１５分程でサンドバーに着くが、今まで見たことのない海の色で、まさに「天国の海」そのものである。
早速海に入りサンドバーを散歩するが、珊瑚の上を歩くという事で痛いかと思ったが海岸の砂浜のようにぜんぜん気にならない。約３０分程散歩の後、希望者はシュノーケリングに参加。深さ２０メートルの場所まで移動するといろいろな魚が眼鏡越しに見られる。
船に戻るとバーべキューが用意されており動いた後の空腹を満たしてくれる。当然食べ放題であるが、食べきれないほどの量が用意されている。肉も柔らかく味もそこそこで特にアスパラガスのホイル焼きは最高であった。
食事後は海がめウォッチングに出発。エリさんが９９．９％
保証付きの場所に案内されると海がめの泳ぐ姿に船内は騒然となった。
出港から戻るまで終始しゃべりどうしで船内を楽しませてくれたエリさんに感謝するとともに、私の駄洒落にもいやな顔せずつきあってくれたエリさん、本当にありがとうございました。
ハワイは今回で６度目ですが、こんな素晴らしい所があるとは知りませんでした。次回も是非参加したいと思います。

I'm not very good at diving, and since I can't snorkel or dive, I chose to go on a submarine. We traveled along the seabed off the coast of Hawaii, where I could see fish and turtles up close, and in addition, we got to see planes and ships that sank during the war, which was a great experience. Also, since I don't often have the chance to ride a submarine, it was a wonderful experience. The moment the submarine emerged from the water was particularly impressive! I had a lot of fun!!
私はあまり水に潜るのが得意ではなく、シュノーケルやダイビングができないので、潜水艦を選択しました。
ハワイの近海の海底を進んでいくので、お魚や亀が間近で見れますし、加えて戦争で海に沈んだ飛行機や船も見ることができ、良い経験をさせていただきました。
また、あまり潜水艦に乗る機会がないので、良い経験になりました。特に、潜水艦が海中から現れるところは圧巻です！
とても楽しかったです！！

The scenery was very beautiful, and I was impressed. The BBQ had a lot of variety, and I was full! I thought it would have been even better if I could have seen more fish.
とっても景色はきれいで感激しました。
ＢＢＱも盛りだくさんの内容でおなかいっぱい！！
お魚がもっとたくさん見れればもっとよかったかなぁと思いました。

It was fine. I did this for my sister and her boyfriend when they came with us because it was their first time in Hawaii. I would have preferred for the greeter to be a Hawaian but she was not.
Our greeter did a fantastic job, extremely friendly and set the tone for our vacation. Good way to start off!!
Wonderful tour. Guide on the Missouri - "Toby" was great. He served on Mighty Mo and was very knowledgeable of every detail of the ship. Will do it again.
Since I was scheduled to arrive in Hawaii around 10 AM, I looked for tours available in the afternoon and decided to go to Sea Life Park. Unfortunately, I wasn't sure if I could make it in time for the shuttle bus, so I went there on my own. I checked the schedule for THE BUS routes 22 and 23 (some of which do not go to Sea Life Park) and the trolley's Blue Line online. It's best to allow about an hour for travel.
We took the 22 bus from the bus stop in front of the Waikiki Trade Center. You pay $2 (no change given) when you get on. Then, we headed to the park while enjoying views of Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head.
It felt like a relatively small and old-style marine park. After checking in at the entrance, we went inside and checked in again for the dolphin experience tour at the merchandise area deep in the aquarium. Japanese is not widely understood, and the English spoken has a strong accent that makes it hard to catch everything. After the explanation, we moved with our belongings to the dolphin pool. It was fine not to rent a locker.
Once we reached the dolphin pool, there was about 5-6 minutes of explanation in English, alongside a few broken explanations for Japanese visitors. Then, we put on life jackets and placed our belongings and towels at the poolside before entering the dolphin pool. The dolphin trainers spoke relatively good Japanese, so it was manageable. After that, we just enjoyed ourselves. Since we chose the adventure option, we swam while holding onto the dolphins' fins. They touched us and jumped in response to our signals...
Afterward, we took our belongings to the outdoor shower and changing room. We waited for about 40 minutes for the photos of us kissing the dolphins to be ready for purchase. They were about $13 each. It was expensive, but we ended up buying them anyway! The return buses in the evening came every 20-30 minutes.
ハワイに午前１０時すぎにつく予定だったので、午後からいけるツアーを探した結果、シーライフパークにいくことにしました。残念ながら送迎バスの時間に間に合うかどうかわからなかったので、自力で現地へ。行きは１時間に１～２本しかないＴＨＥ ＢＵＳの２２番と２３番（シーライフパークまでいかないものもあり）の時刻とトロリーのブルーラインをネットで調べました。所要時間は１時間くらいみたほうがいいです。
私たちはワイキキトレードセンター前のバス停から２２番のバスにのりました。前からのってはじめに２ドル（おつりなし）はらいます。それからワイキキビーチやダイアモンドヘッドをみながら現地へ。
わりと小さくて古いカンジの水旅園ってカンジです。入り口でチェックインしてから中にはいり、水族園奥のグッズ売り場の中でもう一度イルカの体験ツアーのチェックイン。日本語はあまり通じません。英語もクセがあって聞き取りにくいです。説明のあと、イルカのプールまで荷物をもって移動。ロッカー借りなくても大丈夫でした。
イルカプールについてから、英語の説明５～６分している横で日本人むけにカタコトの説明が５つほど。それからライフジャケットをつけて荷物やタオルをプールサイドにおいてイルカプールへ。イルカの調教師の人たちは比較的日本語使ってくれるので平気です。あとは楽しむだけ。私たちはアドベンチャーだったので仰向けのイルカの手につかまって泳ぎました。タッチしたり私たちの合図にあわせてジャンプしてくれたり・・・。
終わったあとは荷物もって屋外にあるシャワーと更衣室へ。４０分まってイルカとキスしている写真ができあがり購入。一枚１３ドルくらいです。高いけどやっぱり買っちゃいました！！帰りの夕方のバスは２～３０分ごとでした。
