Oahu to Big Island - Helicopter Tour & Volcano Sightseeing Adventure with Lunch

check the weather first

Reviewed by: Pete J

Overall the tour was well organised and professional. However due to low visibility from low cloud and rain, the helicopter part of the tour was cancelled and refunded. Since the hotel pick up was 6am, we had already flown to the big island before that decision was made, therefore the package became just an expensive day trip bus ride. We would have preferred to cancel the whole trip if we had known the helicopter portion was not gonig ahead, althought that is the decison of the pilots.
The bus tour and guide was very good and knowleldgeable and could not fault what we did experience.

Premium Ko Olina Snorkel Cruise with Dolphin Watching, Lunch Buffet & Drinks - Ocean Joy Cruises

Fantastic Trip!

Reviewed by: MeSoHappy

This was a great trip to go on. The check-in went smooth and the staff were friendly. The ocean was rough but the boat was so stable that I did not even get sea sick. While we were not able to go snorkeling because of this, we saw a whale and lots of dolphins! The morning sunshine made for a beautiful backdrop to the Waianae coastline. Ocean Joy is environmentally friendly to the dolphins and we normally would get to snorkel- just not with the dolphins since it disturbs them.

Our photographer gave everyone a 50% discount on our normally $40 photo package and the photos turned out great! We appreciated the treatment of the crew and everyone had fun even though we did not snorkel. Drinks and lunch were served and everything was tasty. I had fun and look forward to going with this crew again someday. Thanks to Veltra for a smooth confirmation process. It could not have been easier to book a fun outing.

  • The beautiful Waianae coast.

サンドバー天使の海 シュノーケリング&ウミガメウォッチクルーズ 船上のBBQグリルで焼くハンバーガーランチ付き!<午前/日本語クルー>

If you hit low tide... 干潮に当たれば・・・

Reviewed by: K-point

I went during the May holiday. I checked the tide chart in advance and aimed to book on the day with the lowest tide during my stay. While riding the boat from the harbor to the point, I could see the sandbars, but unfortunately, by the time we arrived, the tide had come in.

Still, we were blessed with good weather, and the white sand, combined with the blue sky, created a beautiful scenery. On the way to the point, we also saw many turtles.

It's important to choose a day and time with good conditions; otherwise, it will just be a shallow area. I recommend checking the tide chart in advance.

5月の連休に行きました。潮見表で事前に滞在期間の中でも最も潮の引いている日を狙って申し込みました。ハーバーからボートに乗り、ポイントに向かっているときには砂洲が見えていましたが、残念ながら到着したときには潮が被ってしまいました。
それでも天気に恵まれ白い砂が透けて青空と相まって美しい景色が広がりました。途中ポイントに向かう前に亀もたくさん見れました。
コンディションの良い日と時間を選んで行かないと、ただの浅瀬になってしまいますので事前に潮見表での確認をお勧めします。

It's the sea in January, and as mentioned in other experiences, it’s quite cold. I brought plenty of warm clothing, and that was the right choice. There were efforts to make the tour enjoyable, but the satisfaction really varies greatly depending on the conditions of the day. Personally, I found the Kayama Island tour in Ishigaki Island to have prettier corals and fish.

1月の海ですが、他の体験談にもある通り結構寒いです。

Whale Watching Sail in Waikiki on the Honu Lani with Optional Transportation Available [Dec - Mar]

Great Tour!

Reviewed by: JTran

This is my second time going to Oahu but was traveling with friends who have never gone. One was really interested in whale watching so we saw links for the Honi Olani Catamaran Sail and decided to try this one out. We're super glad we did because this was such a great tour!

The staff are extremely friendly and they provide such a great experience. The first time we went, we didn't see any whales but that may have been because of the strong waves and number of boats sailing around which might have scared them away.
Regardless of seeing whales, the cruise was awesome. It was really nice to be able to feel the sun on the catamaran and have a nice beverage while we enjoyed the weather. The tour was nice to give us a free voucher to ride again to see if we can spot whales the second time and we did! We ended up seeing a mother whale teaching her male calf how to breach!

I would definitely cruise again with this crew when I come back to Oahu. Mahalo for the great experience guys

I participated in the tour from the morning. As it's called the "Heavenly Sea," the water was beautiful and great for photos. However, since it was winter in Hawaii, the water was unfortunately cold. Also, snorkeling was included, but due to the continuous rain, the water was murky, and I couldn't see many fish.

It's content that can be enjoyed even when participating alone! ひとり参加でも十分楽しめる内容!

Reviewed by: masakigu

The crew was very cheerful, and I never felt bored even when participating alone. I did suffer a bit from seasickness due to strong winds that threatened the event, but joining the tour was definitely the right choice. If you're participating in January, I strongly recommend bringing a thick windbreaker, as just renting a wetsuit for a fee won't be enough to prevent freezing on the boat after the first snorkeling session. Additionally, motion sickness medication is essential, especially for children.

クルー皆さんが非常に陽気で、ひとりで参加しても退屈することはありませんでした。開催が危ぶまれるほどの強風の影響で多少船酔いに苦しみましたが、ツアーに参加したことは正解でした。1月参加の場合は、有料のウェットスーツを借りたぐらいでは、1回目にシュノーケリングした後に船上で凍える羽目になるので、厚手のウインドブレーカー等を持参することを強くおすすめします。加えて酔い止めの薬は必須です。(特にお子様)

Star of Honolulu Whale Watching Cruise with Banana Bread & Coffee | 2-Hour Morning Tour [Jan-Mar]

Whale Watching

Reviewed by: Bee

This was the first tour we took on our first trip to Hawaii in April of 2016. It was absolutely amazing. We had a good time on the Star of Honolulu except it was rather windy that day. Had a blast, regardless! There were several whale sightings but, not close enough to see them which was disappointing. The breakfast was fantastic. We spent time walking about the ship taking some wonderful photos. We would definitely book another cruise when we return again.

The three activities do not include buggy rides or horseback riding. アクティビティ3つとはバギー、乗馬は含まれません

Reviewed by: まりえ

All family members were satisfied and it became a good memory. I think being able to choose three activities at this price offers great cost performance. The staff were also kind; they accommodated us by switching us to the same tour bus as our friends who had made a separate reservation, which was very nice.

This time, I chose the movie tour, jungle tour, and fish pond tour. Actually, I couldn't choose anything else. Among the four activities, the cruise was closed on Sundays.

I believe it would be beneficial for future participants if the breakdown of selectable activities were clearly stated in advance. The buggy and horseback riding fall under the experience category.

よい思い出になったと家族全員満足しました。3つ選べてこの価格はコストパフォーマンスがいいと思います。またスタッフのかたも親切で、別で予約した友人と一緒の園内ツアーバスに代えてくれたりなど、融通を聞かせてくれ、とても良かったです。
今回は映画ツアー、ジャングルツアー、フィッシュポンドツアーを選びました。というかそれ以外選べませんでした。4つあるアクティビティのうち、クルーズは日曜はお休みでした。
選べるアクティビティの内訳が事前に明記されていると次に参加される人にとって有益だと思います。
バギー、乗馬はエクスペリエンスというくくりです。

The weather is terrible, which is the worst. 天気が悪いと最悪

Reviewed by: かなぶん

It was January, winter, with low temperatures and strong winds, along with occasional rain. It was just cold. When it rained like a downpour, it was a hellish scene. Nothing was enjoyable. I wasted both time and money. I should have researched the timing and weather properly. I recommend making reservations on-site based on the weather.

However, I have set a goal to definitely seek revenge on my next trip to Hawaii.

時期が1月と言う冬で、気温が低めでかつ天気は強風&時々雨。
とにかく寒い。スコールみたいに降った時は地獄絵図でした。

Thank you very much for participating in the tour. However, I sincerely apologize for not being able to provide the service that met your expectations.

I understand that you must have felt disappointed that the tour you were looking forward to turned out this way due to the bad weather and low temperatures on the day. I hope you will consider visiting the sandbar again on a warm, sunny day. You can also find information about the tides on the tour page. I would appreciate it if you could refer to this for your next visit.

Thank you again for your valuable feedback despite your busy schedule.

Star of Honolulu Whale Watching Cruise with Banana Bread & Coffee | 2-Hour Morning Tour [Jan-Mar]

Extremely Disappointing!

Reviewed by: Jeff

The overall cruise was extremely disappointing because throughout the entire cruise we saw a single whale spout either 4 or 5 times as it exhaled and a brief cloud of mist was observable for about 2 seconds. Because the spouts were so brief, I only actually saw 2 of them. However, technically, we did see a whale and were not eligible for a free re-booking.
I don't blame Star of Honolulu for the lack of whales - they are wild animals! But, I did expect more from them and am disappointed that seeing mist from a whale for a total of less than 20 seconds in a multi-hour cruise at least 100 yards away is considered a whale sighting.
Other than the lack of seeing whales - which was the entire point of going on the cruise! - the cruise itself is actually pretty good. The employees were very friendly, the food was better than expected (bring your own coffee though), and the views of Oahu from the ocean are gorgeous.
The ship is a bit dated and worn around the edges, but it was clean and offered a lot of indoor and outdoor viewing options. Because there are 4 decks, I never felt like it was crowded even though there were a lot of people on board.

シーライフパーク・ハワイ イルカと触れ合える人気プログラムは選べる3プラン 海の生き物への餌やり体験、イルカやアシカのショーなど充実の園内<送迎付きプランあり>

Easily interact with dolphins. 手軽にイルカと触れあえる

Reviewed by: かりんまま

I wanted to participate in the program where you can swim with dolphins, but since I was pregnant, I joined this program that allows participation during pregnancy. There was a Japanese interpreter, although their Japanese was basic. Only one person gets to touch the dolphin a little. You can stroke its back and feed it (not everyone gets fish), and if you wish, you can touch its teeth a bit. You can definitely see them up close. However, since I went to Sea Life Park, I wonder if it would be better to change into a swimsuit and join a program where you can interact more? I can't say for sure since I haven't participated in that one.

They take one photo per adult. They don't take a photo of the whole family. Children can take as many photos as they want with an adult. In the end, I ended up buying two photos: one with me and the child, and one with my husband and the child (sales strategy? lol). One photo costs about $18.

I had my meal at the snack shop near the entrance. There were no Japanese menus, and the staff didn't speak Japanese. Besides the program, there are shows and aquarium-like attractions, but compared to Japanese aquariums, the quality is a bit lower.

In the end, since my child was happy, I consider it a success!

イルカと泳げるプログラムへ参加したかったのですが、妊娠していたため、妊娠中でも参加できるこちらのプログラムに参加。
片言ですが、日本語の通訳さんもいました。イルカに触れるのは1人ほんの少しです。背中辺りをなでなでして、エサあげて(全員に魚をくれるわけではないです)、希望であれば歯を触る程度。
間近で見られるのは確かですが。せっかくシーライフパークへ行くのであれば、水着に着替えて触れあえるプログラムのほうがいいのかなー?と思います。そちらは参加したことないので、なんとも言えませんが。

大人1人につき一枚写真を撮ってくれます。家族全員では撮ってくれません。子どもは、大人と一緒に何枚でもOK。結局、私と子供、主人と子供の二枚買ってしまいました(営業戦略?笑)一枚確か、18ドルぐらい。

食事は、入り口付近の売店で済ませました。日本語メニューなどもなく、店員さんも日本語は通じません。プログラム以外にも、ショーや水族館的なものはありますが、日本の水族館と比べると、クオリティは低めかな?

結果、子供が喜んでくれたのでヨシとします!

22nd wedding anniversary trip 22年目の新婚旅行

Reviewed by: 安芸のハイビスカス

During this trip to Hawaii, I enjoyed snorkeling for the first time and, feeling adventurous, I booked this tour online while I was there. As mentioned in other people's experiences, we had a great time with our cheerful guide (a Japanese woman). We were able to spot sea turtles multiple times. The main area, the ocean of heaven, had water up to my waist, but it was shallow enough to walk, so it was fine. There were mostly newlyweds, and since the guide was taking pictures for them, my husband and I also had some taken. There were comments about the sandwiches being meager, so I’ll post a photo. American sandwiches are usually like that, but they were filling and delicious. I would like to join again, aiming for low tide.

今回のハワイ旅行で、初めてスノーケリングを楽しみ、調子に乗って、現地でネットで今回のツアーを申し込みました。
他の方の体験談にもあった通り陽気なガイドさん(日本人女性)に乗せられて、楽しく過ごせました。
ウミガメも何回も目撃に成功しました。

Rather than swimming with dolphins... イルカと泳ぐというよりか…

Reviewed by: りょう

There were nearly 40 participants in the early morning tour, which felt quite large. The pick-up time was perfect. We received explanations in Japanese from a very friendly staff member, and upon arriving at the port, we received rental gear and changed into wetsuits. About 10% of the participants were foreigners, with the majority being Japanese.

As soon as the boat set off, the staff introduced themselves, and we encountered dolphins! However, in a good way, we were not allowed to touch or chase the dolphins. It was more about observing the pod swimming from the water.

When there are many people from other tours nearby, it creates a significant number of humans spread out in the water, making it hard for the dolphins to come close. While this is understandable, I felt that for those who are satisfied, it could be a very rare experience. Honestly, I couldn't shake the feeling of swimming closely with the dolphins as I had imagined. Perhaps my expectations were too high. If you want that experience, a private tour might be necessary, as nearly 40 people felt like too many. While it might be necessary for efficiency, I wished for a smaller group to approach the dolphins without startling them.

We dove twice, and during the first dive to get close to the dolphins, we spent about 30 minutes in the water, which left many women feeling quite groggy. There were many beginners in snorkeling, so I recommend taking motion sickness medication or purchasing and wearing a motion sickness band. There were quite a few people on the boat who looked exhausted, so please make sure to prepare adequately for warmth.

早起きの部で、合計40名近くでのツアー参加者が居ましたがこれがとっても多いんじゃないかなと感じました。。
送迎時間はピッタリ。とても気さくなスタッフさんから日本語で説明を受け、港に着いたらレンタルグッズをもらいウェットスーツに着替えます。海外の方は1割程度とほぼ日本人。。
船が出向してすぐにスタッフさんの自己紹介を終えるとイルカに遭遇!!

ただし、良い意味でイルカには触ってはいけないし追いかけてもいけません!!あくでもイルカの群れが泳いでいるのをこちらも海中から覗き見るという感じです。

なので他のツアーの方などが近くにいると相当な数の人間が海に広がっているのでイルカもなかなか近寄ってくれません。当然といえば当然かもですが。。。
それでも満足な方であれば非常に稀有な経験ができると思いましたが、正直想像していたよりも近くで泳ぐイルカと一緒に泳げている感覚にはなれませんでした。
ちょっと期待値が高すぎたかなと。それを望むならプライベートツアーじゃないと無理かもしれませんが、40名近くはさすがに多すぎるように思いました。効率を考えると仕方ないかもしれませんが、本当にイルカを驚かせないように近づいてもらうためにはもっと少人数のツアーだとよかったなと感じました。
2回ダイブするのですが、1回目のイルカに近寄るダイブで30分くらい海に浸かっているのでこの時点で相当数な女性がグロッキー状態になっておりました。シュノーケリング初心者の方が多かったそうですが、酔い止め薬を飲んでおいたり酔い止めバンドを購入して装着しておくことをお勧めしますよ。船上でもはいてる方やぐったりしている方は多かったので、防寒対策もしっかりとご準備ください。

Saw the chief in 1985 at PCC. Loved his wit & charm then. So glad he has come so far. Still as great as ever. Was touched by the couples dancing & Make a Wish kids. Would recommend this smaller luau to everyone!!
Thank you, Chief!

ウェット アンド ワイルド ハワイ 絶叫ウォータースライダーなど25種類以上のアトラクションが揃うウォーターパーク ランチやドリンク付きパッケージプランあり

It's good that it's not crowded. 混雑してなくて良い

Reviewed by: ひろし

At Japanese pools, you usually have to wait in long lines to enjoy the slides, but here the park isn't too large and it wasn't crowded, so we were able to play one after another right after the park opened. Be careful with the high slides, as you have to carry your own float to the entrance and climb up from the bottom.

This time, I chose a BBQ plan because I wanted to take advantage of the free perks, but I think the entry ticket with transportation is sufficient if you don't use the perks. In fact, we didn't use the soft drinks. That said, the free perks were very helpful, and the park was fun, so I was satisfied.

日本のプールのスライダーは長蛇の列に並ばないと遊べませんが、ここは園内もそこまで広くないですし混雑もしてなかったので開園直後から次から次に遊ぶことができました。高いところにあるスライダーはふもとでその浮き輪を自分たちで持って入り口まで登らないといけないのでご注意を。
今回無料特典を利用したかったのでBBQ付のプランにしましたが、特典利用無しなら送迎付き入場券で十分だと思います。実際ソフトドリンクは利用しませんでした。とはいえ無料特典は大変助かりましたし園も面白かったので満足です。

I was very satisfied! 大満足でした!

I participated with my friend's family, and as we got closer to the area, we were able to see the spouts several times. However, since we were only able to see the spouts from quite a distance, the kids started saying it was "boring."

Just when I thought we probably wouldn't see any jumps like those in the photos, the whales put on a fantastic show.

We were able to see all the whale behaviors listed on the ship, and we were very satisfied. Both the kids and the parents were thrilled to finish the tour. I know that since they are living creatures, it might not be like this every time.

友人家族と参加しましたが、ポイント付近に近づくとすぐに潮吹きが何度もみれました。
しかし、かなり離れたところからたまに上がる潮吹きを見ていただけなので、子供たちが「つまらない」と言い始めてしまいました。

あぁ、写真で見られるようなジャンプとかはなかなか見られないんだなと思っていたら、クジラの大サービスが始まりました。

船内に書いてあるクジラの行動パターンはすべてみられる事が出来て大満足です。
子供たちも親も大興奮でツアーを終えることが出来ました。
相手は生き物なので毎回こうはいかないと思いますが。

I signed up for this tour because I wanted to interact directly with dolphins. I was very moved by the feel and sounds of the dolphins. I highly recommend this tour.

I couldn't see anything. 何もみえませんでした

Reviewed by: ことり

I didn't see any whales, sea turtles, or dolphins at all. I would appreciate some further explanation regarding the inability to see whales. I believe there was only audio recording, and there were no special announcements. They were distributing tickets for reboarding the next day to those who wanted them, but I couldn't use them due to other plans. Although there is a policy that refunds are not available, I think it would be nice to have some consideration, such as a souvenir, in case we didn't see anything.

クジラもウミガメイルカももいっさい何も見れませんでした。
クジラが見れないことについて何かもう少し解説などあればと思います。
録音の音声だけで、特別なアナウンスはなかったと思います。
翌日再乗船できるチケットを希望者に配布していましたが、他の予定もあるので利用できませんでした。
返金はできないという規定ですが、見れなかった場合には記念品などの配慮があってもよいのではと思いました。

This was a tour that my parents had always wanted to go on. The underwater world was like a different realm, and it became a wonderful memory. The shuttle bus for pickup was also on time and easy to understand, which was great.

野生のイルカウォッチング&ウミガメシュノーケリングクルーズ ジャンボスライダーやSUPも楽しめる!<ランチ付き/ワイキキ&コオリナ送迎/日本語または英語ガイド>

Even for one person, or someone prone to seasickness, the hospitality is so high that it leaves you completely satisfied. 1人でも、船酔い体質でも大満足できるほどの高いホスピタリティ

Reviewed by: morrissey

- First of all, on the morning of the event, a Japanese staff member made a morning call to our hotel room to inform us again about the meeting time and place, and I was pleasantly surprised by their attentive service.

- The guidance and advice during the bus ride were also excellent and showed a high level of professionalism! They provided important safety tips for being in the ocean (like avoiding contact with sea turtles due to potential fines and bacteria) and suggested not to sleep during certain hours to avoid seasickness, which was very considerate and reassuring. Announcements were made in both English and Japanese, so even those who are not confident in English can feel at ease.

- Once we boarded the boat, the hospitality of the crew was absolutely amazing! They struck a perfect balance between giving us space and being cheerful and engaging, while also being incredibly attentive and considerate. I believe it's rare to find such high-quality service even in various customer service settings within Japan. (I somehow became a fan, and honestly, I wasn't that interested in dolphins or the ocean, but since returning home, I've been following Dolphin & You's Instagram constantly.)

- We were lucky enough to encounter a pod of spinner dolphins right away! Also, it was my first time snorkeling, but it wasn't too difficult.

- Even if you don't see dolphins, you'll definitely leave satisfied with the crew's dance performances on the boat, activities like the water trampoline and air slide, and the delicious burgers grilled right there on the spot.

- By the way, I have a terrible tendency to get seasick, so unfortunately, I couldn't stay in the water for long and spent more time on the boat, but I still had a great time. I had the burger after getting back to the hotel when it was cold, but it was still fantastic! It's one of the best burgers I've ever had in Hawaii. The buns are purple, which is surprising, but they taste great without any weirdness (laughs).

・まず、当日の朝、日本人スタッフの方がホテルの部屋に、改めて集合時間や集合場所を知らせるモーニングコールをしてくださって、丁寧な仕事に良い意味でびっくり

・移動のバスの中での案内やアドバイスもプロファッショナリティを感じる素晴らしいものでした!海の中での注意(罰金を取られるしバクテリアもいるから海亀には接触禁止、とか)や、船酔いになりやすくなるから出来れば移動中◯時〜◯時は眠らない方が良いですよ、とかも凄く丁寧だし安心感が持てます。英語と日本語両方でアナウンスがあるので英語に自信がなくても安心。

・いよいよ船に乗り込んでからのクルーの皆さんのホスピタリティが素晴らし過ぎて!ほどよく放っておいて下さって陽気に接してくださるのですが、実は気配り目配り気遣いがすごい!日本国内のあらゆる接客サービスでもこれだけのものはなかなかないと思えるほど。(なんだかファンになってしまって、正直そこまでイルカや海に興味がなかったのに、帰国してからドルフィン&ユーのインスタずっとフォローしてます)

・ハシナガイルカの群れにも運良くすぐに出会えました!また、初シュノーケリングでしたがそんなに難しくなかったです

・たとえイルカを見られなかったとしても、船上でのクルーのダンスや、水上トランポリン&エアースライダーなどのアクティビティ、その場でグリルして焼く絶品のバーガーなど、絶対満足して帰れます。

・ちなみに私はひどい「波酔い」体質で、残念ながら長く海にはいっていられず、船の上にいる時間が長かったのですが、それでも楽しめました。バーガーも船を降りてホテルに帰ってから冷めたのを頂いたのですがそれでも絶品!ハワイで食べたバーガーの中で1、2を争う美味しさです。バンズが紫色でびっくりしますがクセもなく美味しいです(笑)
