Oahu
Since it's near Honolulu, I thought it would be lucky if we got to see whales, and if not, we could enjoy the cruise, so I made a reservation. There are colorful fish in the harbor where the boat docks, so definitely check them out before boarding! The various sizes of yellow and blue fish really get you excited.
For those without meals included, we were guided to the third floor where we received explanations about the whales and the boat before departure, but everything was in English and honestly, it was content you could take or leave. Later, a file with explanations in Japanese was placed on the stage, which was sufficient. Since there was time, many people were having breakfast with the rice balls and bread they brought. Since it was early in the morning, having a meal here might be enough.
Once we set sail, we had free time, so I quickly went up to the observation floor on the fourth deck. About 30 minutes after departure, when we could see Ala Moana, dolphins started swimming alongside the boat!!! Everyone was super excited to see about 20 dolphins! They swam alongside the boat, jumped a little away, and then came back... just this alone felt worth the price, and I was already very satisfied.
After about 45 minutes, we arrived off Diamond Head and stopped. An announcement was made to look for whales. However, during the announcement, we already saw a spout, and when we focused our eyes, we spotted a large tail! It was a bit far, but we could see it perfectly! After that, we spent about an hour and a half moving and stopping while searching for whales, and we were able to see them more than 15 times, which was amazing! In the end, we even saw a mother and calf swimming leisurely about 50 meters from the boat, and I was grateful for the generous spirit of the whales.
After seeing the whales perfectly, we returned to the harbor and were thrilled to also see a turtle swimming smoothly beside the boat during the 4-hour trip!
By the way, I spoke with someone who booked a tour with meals included after disembarking, and they mentioned that during their meal, there was an announcement saying, "A whale has appeared over there," so they kept going back and forth and hardly got to eat, nor did they see the whales. Announcements are made after a whale has already appeared. I think it’s unlikely you’ll see them if you run over after hearing the announcement... it seems like you have a higher chance of spotting them by focusing your eyes on the spouts yourself. Also, I wouldn’t really recommend it for children. Since you can’t approach the whales (but it’s okay if they come close), the whales are far away, and I wonder if they understand when you say, "Over there!"... Many kids seemed to get bored and fussy.
It might be good to participate with the mindset of "If we see them, great; if not, we’ll cruise around Waikiki and Diamond Head." That said, it was fantastic as a cruise! Whether you see whales or not might be a matter of luck, but it was a fun experience worth more than the price♪ I highly recommend it for those going to Hawaii during whale season!
ホノルル近郊だし見れたらラッキーくらいで、見れなかったらクルージングとして楽しもうと予約。
船の停泊している港にはカラフルな魚がいるので乗船前にぜひ見てください！黄色や青の大小さまざまな魚でちょっとテンション上がります
食事無しの人達は３階へ誘導され出港前にクジラや船の説明をされますが、すべて英語だし特に聞いても聞かなくても…という内容。後ほど日本語で書かれた説明ファイルがステージに置かれるので、それで十分。時間があるので、持ってきたおむすびやパンで朝食をしている方が結構いました。朝も早いのでここで食事で十分かも
出港してしまえば自由行動なのでさっそく展望フロアの４階へ。出港して３０分、アラモアナが見えてきた頃船と並走するようにイルカが！！！
２０頭ほどのイルカにみんなで大興奮！！船と並走したりちょっと離れて飛んだりまた近づいてきたり・・・これだけで値段以上のいいものが見れた気がしてすでに大満足ｗ
45分ほどするとダイアモンドヘッド沖まで来て停泊。ここでクジラを探すとアナウンスが。
が、アナウンス中にすでに潮吹きが見れ、目を凝らしてると大きな尻尾！
ちょっと遠くでしたがバッチリ見れました！
そこからは１時間半ほど動いたり停まったりしながらクジラを探してましたが、１５回以上は見れて感動！最後には船から５０ｍ先くらいにのんびりと親子で泳ぐクジラまで見れ、サービス精神旺盛なクジラに感謝です
ばっちりクジラを見て港へ帰還中、船の横をすぃーっと泳ぐカメまで見れて感動の4時間でした！！
ちなみに下船後食事つきのツアーで申し込んだ方と話したのですが、食事してる時に「あっちにクジラが出た」とアナウンスがかかるため、見に行ったり戻ったりで食事もほぼ出来なかったし、クジラも見れなかったと。
クジラが出る度にアナウンスはかかるのですが、クジラが「出た」あとにかかります。アナウンスを聞いてからそっちへ走ってもほぼ見れないと思います…自分で目を凝らして潮吹きを探した方が確立高いような気がします。
あと、お子様にもあんまりおススメできないかも。クジラに近寄ってはいけない為（クジラが近寄ってくるのはOK）、クジラは遠くだし、「あそこあそこ！」と言ってもわかってるかなぁ・・・って感じです。結構飽きちゃってグズッてるお子様多数でした
「見れたらラッキー、見れなかったらワイキキやダイアモンドヘッドを巡るクルージング」として参加してみたらいいかな。
とは言え、クルージングとしても最高！見れるか見れないかは運かもしれないけど、お値段以上の楽しい体験でした♪
クジラのいる時期にハワイへ行く方にはかなり！おススメです！
Thank you very much for joining our cruise. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed the experience.
As you mentioned, there are days when the whales are very active and other days when they are more relaxed, so we believe that keeping an eye out for them will give you the best chance to see them at the right moment.
Regarding meals, please note that outside food and drinks are not permitted on board. Recently, the Aloha Tower Marketplace, where the ship departs, has been renovated, and there is now a small supermarket where you can purchase snacks and bento. Additionally, there are open-air tables within the Aloha Tower Marketplace, so if you have booked a cruise without a meal, you might enjoy a light breakfast there before your cruise.
On sunny days, especially in the morning, the cruise is particularly pleasant, so we hope you will visit us again. All of our staff are looking forward to welcoming you back!

- The bus on the way there was very cold.
- It seems that certain conditions are needed for a complete sandbar, and this time the water was up to my knees.
- The guide was Japanese and very kind.
・行きのバスがとても寒かったです
・完全なサンドバーには条件が必要なようで、今回はヒザ下まで水がありました
（月に１、２回とか）
・ガイドさんは日本人でとても親切でした

Captain Bob experience was one of our highlights! We saw turtles , fish, snorkeled, good food, great crew. Will go again next year.
We were both quite nervous as it was our first time in Hawaii, but the crew was very cheerful and kind, making it an incredibly memorable experience! Since there were Japanese staff members, we didn't have any particular difficulties, and being newlyweds, we were able to take many wonderful photos (*´ ˘ `*)♡ I would love to participate again!
お互い初めてのハワイでかなりドキドキしていましたが、クルーの皆さんがとても明るくて優しくて、ものすごく良い思い出になりました！
日本人スタッフさんもいてくれているので特に何かに困ることは無かったし、新婚ということでたくさん素敵な写真を撮って頂きました(*´ ˘ `*)♡
何回でも参加したいと思います！

The sandbar felt shallow, possibly due to high tide, but during the subsequent sea turtle watch, we saw many sea turtles and manta rays! There were also plenty of sea turtles while snorkeling, and it was one of the most satisfying snorkeling experiences I've had. The staff was friendly, and since they provided a Japanese guide, I felt comfortable enjoying the activities. I definitely want to do this again next time.
サンドバーは満潮だったのか、浅瀬って感じでしたが、その後のウミガメウォッチではたくさんのウミガメと、マンタが見られました！
シュノーケリングの時も、たくさんウミガメがいて、今まで体験したシュノーケリングでもかなり満足できました。
スタッフの方も気さくで、日本語ガイドなので安心して遊べました。
また次回もやりたいです。

I have quite a bit of experience traveling to Hawaii, but this was my first time at Kualoa Ranch. I've always wanted to go, and I finally made it happen this time. I'm so glad I went! I wonder why I didn't come sooner? At the private beach, I relaxed in a hammock, and on the cruise, I even got to see turtles. The location tour was fun, and it was a valuable experience to see the U.S. military bunkers. It was a packed and enjoyable day from early morning until nearly evening.
ハワイ渡航歴はかなりありますが クアロア牧場へは今回が初めてでした。
いつも行きたいと思いつつ、今回やっと実現しました。
行ってよかったです！なんでもっと早く来なかったんだろう？
プライベートビーチではハンモックでのんびり、クルーズでは亀にも会えました。
ロケ地巡りも楽しく、米軍の防空壕を見ることができたのも貴重な体験でした。
早朝から夕方近くまで盛りだくさんで楽しかったです。

The weather was nice, the sea was beautiful, and I really enjoyed my first snorkeling experience. Also, the hamburger eaten on the water was exceptional and very delicious.

I have participated in other tours, but this tour was very relaxing and I think it would be enjoyable for families as well. It was a tour that makes you want to go again. I recommend it!

I participated with my mother.
Among the many tours available, I chose this one because it offered a simple itinerary focused on the sandbar and snorkeling, along with two key points: "Japanese-speaking guide" and "BBQ lunch included."
Once we boarded the bus heading to Kaneohe Bay from the meeting point, the guide was a foreigner who knew a few words of Japanese (not fluent). The atmosphere on the bus was extremely high-energy, filled with American jokes, but only the English-speaking passengers were laughing. Many of the Japanese passengers, who made up 80% of the bus, felt left out... (sigh). I was worried that this person with broken Japanese was the "Japanese-speaking guide," but I felt relieved to find another Japanese staff member on the boat.
The Japanese-speaking female guide was energetic and great at engaging the group; she was very funny and kind! Her explanations were very clear, and as someone who lacks confidence in English, I was glad I chose a Japanese staff member. The other staff members were all locals, and although their Japanese was limited, they were friendly and kind. I was able to enjoy the experience comfortably throughout.
The sandbar we aimed for had water up to about my knees, but it was beautifully clear, and while some people were swimming, others were playing beach volleyball. I think everyone was able to enjoy themselves thoroughly. We were blessed with good weather, and we had plenty of time to relax on the sandbar. Although it was a large tour with two boats, we didn't feel crowded with other tours, and we were able to take beautiful photos!
Lunch was a BBQ on the boat! I didn't have high expectations since it was an option, but it turned out to be hearty and delicious! Freshly grilled hamburgers with a wonderful view! A pleasant breeze! The staff even sang while playing the guitar... it was truly the best moment! After that, we moved to see sea turtles together and even spotted a rare giant manta ray, which made us feel special when they said, "Today is your lucky day!"
The snorkeling point was filled with lots of fish, and I was thrilled to see colorful tropical fish right in front of me. My mother, who is over 60, was initially scared of snorkeling and planned to stay on the boat, but I took her to the water, and although she was scared and almost in tears, a staff member guided her with a floating stick, allowing her to swim comfortably throughout. She was able to see many beautiful fish up close, and I think it became a great memory for her. I appreciate the kind assistance, as I imagine guiding her underwater must have been tiring.
At the snorkeling point, we were lucky enough to swim close to a sea turtle, which became a very memorable experience. Like the sandbar, this was also a private spot just for our tour participants, so we could enjoy it without being crowded. I think we had about 45 minutes to an hour of snorkeling time. We thoroughly enjoyed our time in the water! After getting out of the sea, it was great to receive a warm drink to warm up my chilled body.
The only disappointing part was... when we boarded the bus for the return trip, there were somehow too many people, and there were no seats available. There were even empty seats on the way there, so why were there more people on the return trip? Were they not checking names properly before boarding? This remains a mystery... I was terrified thinking that we could have almost been left behind because the bus was full! This was a moment that made me realize the lack of organization compared to Japanese tours. I ended up feeling disappointed at the very end. (★-1) I also felt uneasy when the staff only took attendance in the morning and then left in the vehicle without saying anything... (after a while, a large bus arrived). Given that the tour itself exceeded my expectations, the handling during the meeting and the bus rides detracted from the quality of the tour.
I felt that the prices of tours have risen signific
母と２人で参加しました。
数あるツアーの中で、サンドバーとシュノーケリングに特化したシンプルなツアー内容であること、そして「日本語ガイド」「BBQランチ付き」の2点がポイントでこちらに申し込みました。
集合場所からカネオヘ湾へ向かうバスに乗り込むと、バス内でガイドしてくださる方はガチガチの外国人の方で、一言二言日本語を知っている（≠話せる）レベル。
バス内は超高いテンションで終始アメリカンジョークがさく裂していましたが、笑っているのは英語圏の方のみ。車中80％を占める日本人の多くは置いてけぼり状態‥（苦笑）
まさか、このカタコトの方が「日本語ガイド」？？と焦りましたが、船には別の日本人スタッフの方がいてひと安心。
日本語ガイドの女性はテンション高く盛り上げ上手で、とーっても面白くていい方でした！
説明も大変わかりやすく、英語に自信がない私はやっぱり日本語スタッフを選択して正解でした。
その方以外の他のスタッフは皆 現地の方々でしたが、日本語はカタコトなものの、フレンドリーで優しくていい方ばかり。終始楽しく、安心して参加することが出来ました。
お目当てのサンドバーは膝下くらいの水位でしたが、底まで透き通って大変美しく、泳ぐ方もいればビーチバレーをする方々もいて、参加者各々が十分に楽しめたと思います。
お天気にも恵まれ、サンドバー上陸の時間も十分にとってくださり、マッタリと過ごすことが出来ました。
船2隻での大所帯ツアーでしたが、他のツアーの方と一緒になって混雑するようなこともなく、美しい写真もバッチリ撮れます！
昼食は船内でBBQランチ！オプションだからと期待していませんでしたが、これがまたボリューミーで美味しかった！
たった今焼いたばかりの出来立てハンバーガーに素晴らしい景色！気持ちいい風！スタッフの方がギター片手に歌まで披露してくれて‥まさに最高のひと時！
その後、移動して皆でウミガメを見たり、珍しい巨大マンタも目撃することができ「今日はラッキーだよ！」と言ってもらえて特別感もありました！
シュノーケリングポイントは本当にお魚がい～っぱいいる場所で、目の前にカラフルな熱帯魚がたくさんいて感激でした。
60歳オーバーの母は、シュノーケリングを怖がって船内に残るつもりでいましたが、せっかくだから！と半ば強引に海に連れて行き、怖くて泣きそうになっていたところ、スタッフの方が棒状の浮きを持ってずーっと誘導してくださり、終始安心して泳ぐことができたようです。
美しいお魚も近くでたくさん見られたようで、母にとってもいい思い出になったと思います。
海中での誘導は疲れたと思います。親切な対応に大変感謝します！
シュノーケリングポイントではウミガメも出没！幸運にも近くで一緒に泳ぐこともでき、とても心に残る経験になりました。
サンドバー同様、ここも同じツアー参加者だけの貸し切りスポットだったため、人で溢れかえるようなこともなく悠々と楽しむことができました。
シュノーケリングの時間は45分～1時間ほどあったように思います。十分すぎるくらいに海の中を満喫し、心底楽しめました！
海から上がって冷えた身体に、すかさず温かいドリンクをいただけたのは「わかってるなぁ！」という感じでした。
ひとつだけ残念だったのは‥‥
帰りのバスに乗り込むと、なぜか定員オーバーで座る席が無かったこと。
行きの車内では空席もあったくらいなのに、なぜ帰りの便は席が足りないほど人が増えているのでしょうか？
ちゃんと名前を確認して乗車させていないんでしょうか？こればかりは謎でしかありません‥
満席だから出発！と、危うく現地に置き去りにされる可能性もあったかとお思うと、恐ろしくてなりません。
こればかりは、日本のツアーとは違う杜撰な部分が出たな‥と痛感した場面でした。
最後の最後に残念な思いをしてしまいました。（★-1）
朝の集合時も、点呼だけして何も告げずに車でどこかに行ってしまうスタッフの方に不安を感じました‥（しばらくして大型バスが到着）
ツアーの内容自体が期待以上だっただけに、集合時と行き帰りのバスでの対応が、ツアーの質を落としている感は否めません。
どのツアー会社も、以前に比べツアー自体の価格が高騰して数十ドル値上がっている印象を受けましたが、今回は大変満足したツアーでしたので、この内容だったらまたぜひ参加したいなと思いました。
他社に比べてクチコミのポイントが高いのも納得できるいいツアーです！
安心してご参加をオススメできます。
お天気や気候、サンドバーの状態は運任せだけど、楽しめるツアー内容であることは間違いないですよ！

I participated in the Heavenly Ocean Tour in Hawaii for the first time! My friends also said it was really great to join this tour. The ocean was stunningly beautiful! No doubt about it! Additionally, the guide was kind and friendly, making it a very enjoyable day. The people were warm, and since it was my first time seeing such a beautiful ocean, it became the best memory. When I go to Hawaii again, I would like to join this tour! Thank you!
初めてハワイで天国の海ツアーに参加しました！友人もみんなこのツアーにきて本当に良かったと言っていました。素晴らしく海は綺麗です！間違いないです！そして、ガイドの方も親切で、尚且つフレンドリーに接してくださりとても楽しい１日になりました。人も暖かく、海も私はこんな綺麗な海初めてみたので、最高の思い出になりました。またハワイに行く際は、このツアーに参加したいです。ありがとうございました！

The highlight of my trip to Hawaii was the sandbar at Kaneohe Bay! The boat had both local and Japanese crew members, and both were very accommodating. In particular, the Japanese crew member, Yukiko, was very friendly, chatting with all the participants and taking photos, which made for even more enjoyable memories!
The weather was great that day, and the sandbar was absolutely beautiful! At the sandbar, we enjoyed an hour of free time where we could practice snorkeling, take photos, and play beach volleyball with the crew and other participants.
After returning to the boat, we had hamburgers for lunch. The captain grilled the meat himself, and snacks and vegetables were self-serve. Soft drinks were unlimited, and the crew would refill them anytime if you asked at the counter on the boat.
Actually, my meat hadn’t been grilled yet, and I was told to wait a bit for a fresh one, but since they felt bad for making me wait, I ended up getting two pieces of meat (laughs), and they also grilled some cheese and bread for me! I really appreciated this kind of thoughtfulness.
After lunch, we watched sea turtles and manta rays from the boat. I heard that sea turtles are there every day, but we were lucky to see many manta rays that day, which was very moving!
From 1:00 PM, we went snorkeling near the coral reef! We snorkeled for about an hour around a very large coral reef, watching the fish. I wasn’t able to swim with the sea turtles, but it seemed that others were able to, and it appears that there are lucky moments when you can swim with them!
Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and I would love to participate again!
ハワイ旅行で一番の楽しみだった、カネオヘ湾のサンドバー！
ボートには現地の人と日本人のクルーが両方乗っており、どちらもとても対応が良かったです。
特に日本人クルー、ユキコさんは参加者皆に気さくに話し掛けていたり写真も撮ってくれたり、すごく陽気な方でより楽しい思い出ができました！
この日は天気がよく、サンドバーがとっても綺麗でした！！サンドバーでは、この後にあるシュノーケリングの練習ができたり、写真を撮ったりクルー達もツアー参加者も混じってビーチバレーをやっていたりと、各自で１時間のフリータイムを楽しんでいました。
ボートに戻ったら昼食のハンバーガー。お肉は船長自ら焼いてくれて、スナックや野菜は自分でお皿に取る方式でした。あと、ソフトドリンクは飲み放題で、ボートの中のカウンター？でクルーに声を掛ければいつでも注いでくれました。
実は私の分のお肉が焼かれていなくて新しく焼くから少し待ってと言われたのですが、待たせてしまったからと言ってお肉は2枚頂き（笑）、チーズやパンも少し焼いてくれました！こういう気づかいもして頂いて嬉しかったです^_^
昼食が終わって、ボートからウミガメとマンタをウォッチングしました。
ウミガメは毎日いるそうなのですが、この日は運良くマンタも沢山見れてとても感動しました！
13:00からは、サンゴ礁の近くでシュノーケリング！とても大きなサンゴ礁の周りを、魚たちを見ながら１時間ほどシュノーケリングしました。私はウミガメと一緒に泳げなかったのですが、他の方は泳げていたみたいで、運よく一緒にウミガメと泳げる事もあるみたいです！
総合的に、とても素晴らしい体験でまた参加したいなと思いました！

The ship and crew are lovely and we saw a pod of 3 whales come up 3 times, but it felt too brief. We were in one location the whole time and before you knew it we were heading back. Maybe thats what all whale watching tours are like. If there was a longer option I'd do that next time.
This time, unfortunately, I couldn't encounter any whales, but I was surprised by the differences in the plan's content. Despite paying a bit more for a tour that was supposed to have Japanese guidance, there was only an English explanation. Additionally, even though iced tea was listed as a beverage, it wasn't available, and I was told that while there was Japanese tea, it would be at an extra charge. I almost want a refund because, in a way, it was a memorable tour.
今回、残念ながらホエールには遭遇出来なかったんですが、それよりプランの内容に違いがありビックリしました。少し高いお金を払い日本語案内があるものを選んだにも関わらず英語オンリーの解説しかなくしかも飲み物にアイスティーが記載されているにも関わらず用意がなく日本茶なら有料だがあるとの返答。料金を返金してもらいたいぐらいある意味心に残るツアーでした。

There was no land visible above the water surface as often seen in photos, but the white color of the knee-deep water spread throughout the blue sea. The tones of white, blue, and emerald green were very beautiful. After lunch, during snorkeling, I was able to see a large sea turtle up close that I felt I could ride, making it an exhilarating tour.
写真でよく見る、水面上の陸地はありませんでしたが、ひざ上位の水深の白い色が、青い海のなかに広がっていました。
白、青、エメラルドグリーンのトーンが、とても綺麗でした。
ランチのあとのシュノーケリングでは、自分が乗れそうな大きな海ガメを、間近に見ることができ、大興奮のツアーでした。

Great buffet lunch, accommodating service staff and siting a number of whales - what could be better?
I highly recommend this tour.
I was able to make good use of the time from 9:00 to 15:00.
The beauty of the sandbar and the fun of snorkeling were, of course, wonderful, and the cheerful and articulate staff on the cruiser kept the atmosphere lively throughout. There were customers with small children, and I thought it was really lovely to see the couple enjoying snorkeling while the staff kept the kids entertained.
During snorkeling, I even got to see sea turtles underwater, which was amazing!! ヽ（´∀｀＊）ﾉ
9:00～15:00の時間を有意義に使えました。
サンドバーの美しさやシュノーケリングの楽しさはもちろん、クルーザーの上でも愉快で滑舌のよいスタッフの方が始終盛り上げてくれていました。
小さなお子様連れのお客様がいらしたのですが、ご夫婦がシュノーケリングを楽しめるよう子供をずっと楽し気にあやしている姿を見たときに非常に素敵だなと思いました。
シュノーケリングでは海中のウミガメまでみれて、最高でした！！ヽ（´∀｀＊）ﾉ

This is by far one of the best thing s I did in Hawaii, and the tour was well planned, on time. Our driver was amazing!! Such a brilliant day!
We saw a family of whales on our trip! It was a good day out although I think it would be better to see them on another island....
My first sandbar!
To be honest, the weather wasn't great and it wasn't in the best condition, but the boat was beautiful, the guide was wonderful, and we got to see sea turtles and manta rays, which really lifted my spirits!
The sandbar was absolutely amazing!!!
When I go to Hawaii again, I definitely want to come back here!
初めてのサンドバー！

I attended with my mother in her 70s (who speaks almost no English). There was a guide assigned to our large hotel shuttle bus, and even with few Japanese people around, they made the journey comfortable and checked on us at the venue, which was very reassuring. At the show venue, the robust performers guided us with smiles, creating a very pleasant atmosphere.
We were seated in the center front row, and across from us was a pair of older white individuals who seemed to be a mother and son, so it was easy to chat and we felt relaxed. There were also younger white groups in the back who were lively, but for us, being small, the Royal Plan was great as we had a clear view of the stage.
As soon as we were seated, we were hit by a heavy rain for about ten minutes. We put on the raincoats provided on the table to take cover, and when we returned to our seats, the salad and drinks that had already been served were soaked. The main dish was protected with a lid, so we managed to eat it. After the first few songs of the show (before the real dancing began), they came to clear our plates while we were still eating, so I thought it wise to finish quickly.
The main male performer was truly entertaining, very skilled at engaging the audience and bringing people on stage, far surpassing typical comedians. His interactions with the lively middle-aged Japanese group in the audience were particularly exquisite, making me feel a bit embarrassed to be Japanese, but he managed to involve the entire venue in laughter.
On the other hand, he also shared touching stories about family and couples' love, making it a heartwarming show. At the end, we all held hands with the cool performers and other guests, singing and dancing together, creating a sense of full participation.
My mother understood most of the meaning and laughed along with everyone at the same timing, expressing her joy and desire to come again. I would definitely like to participate again if the opportunity arises! I would be happy to know the name of the main performer!
70代の母（英語はほぼ不可）と参加しました。ホテル送迎の大きなバスにそれぞれ担当の案内係の方がいて、日本人が少ない中も、道中車内を和ませてくださり、会場でも気にかけてくださってとても安心できました。ショー会場でもごついパフォーマーの方々が、笑顔で誘導してくださり、雰囲気はとても良かったです。
席はど真ん中の最前列で、向かいにはもっとご高齢の母息子らしき白人ペアと4人だけで、お話もしやすく気楽に過ごせました。他の後方の席では若い白人グループが盛り上がっているところもあったので、体も小さい私たちにはステージも丸見えのロイヤルプランで良かったです。
着席してすぐ激しい雨に10分ほど見舞われ、テーブルに用意された雨合羽を着て避難し、席に戻るとすでにサーブされていたサラダや飲み物などびしょ濡れでした。メインのお皿は蓋で保護されなんとか食べられました。ショーの最初数曲の歌のみが終わると（本格的な踊りが始まる前に）、食事もまだ終わらないうちに下げに来られましたので、早く食べ終わるのが賢明と思いました。
メインの男性は、本当にお話が面白く、ステージにたくさん人を上げてはみんなをいじるのがとても上手で、そんじょそこらのお笑いの人など比較にならないほどでした。
特にお元気な中高年の日本人グループのお客さんのいじり方が絶妙で、若干日本人であることが恥ずかしく思えるような部分もありましたが、会場全体を笑いの渦に巻き込んでいました。
その一方で、家族や夫婦の愛情について感動的なお話もされ心温まる素敵なショーでした。
最後には、かっこいいパフォーマーのお兄さんたちや他のお客さんたちとみんなで手をつないで歌を歌い踊って全員参加といった感じで終わりました。
母もだいたい意味が分かってみんなと同じタイミングで笑っており、大変喜んでまた来たいと申しておりました。
また機会があれば是非参加したいと思います！
あのメインのお方のお名前がわかると嬉しいです！

Helpful driver(young man but forgot name..sorry). Mosquito repellent and walking stick. Thought about taking bus, but the last stop is a bit of a distance from trailhead. This shuttle expedites the process. Picked up and dropped off at Waikiki hotel. If you have limited time on the island I would definitely recommend this tour. The hike itself is not overly demanding in dry conditions. Wife and I are in 50's and in so-so condition. I thought this was easier than Diamond Head hike, which wasn't difficult either. Probably an entirely different story if wet and rainy. Get off the beach and experience another aspect of the island. Enjoyed it.
We did the early excursion and were happy we did as our group only had 9 people and I felt we were able to see more activity. We rented wet suits since the water was just a bit cooler than our liking, and they worked great. The views on the way to the snorkeling spot are breathtaking as you see the sunrise behind a mountain range. We saw several whales and could hear their chatter in the water, an indescribable experience. We snorkeled with tropical fish, sea turtles, and dolphins. Then, we enjoyed a delicious lunch. Only wish we had more time.
The crew and shuttle driver were great! They even returned our beach towels, which we forgot at Spinner's. This excursion definitely under promised and over delivered.
We paid $50-$60 for the professional photographs, which was well worth it to us as it was impossible to capture everything. Can't wait to see them in a couple weeks!
I have attended many Luaus. This was the best by far. The pre entertainment, the show, the food and the staff were fabulous. Will definitely go again. A must - attend event.
Had a great time!! We were lucky to have lots of whale sightings, one even came up close to the ship!!
This was my first trip to Hawaii. While searching for activities that I could enjoy with my 6th-grade daughter, I came across this tour. When I told my daughter about it, she immediately responded, "I want to go!" It's not every day you get a chance to meet wild dolphins.
I had some hesitation, wondering if I could wake up at 5 AM with the jet lag, if I would be okay since I'm not a strong swimmer, and if I might get seasick. I was filled with more anxiety than excitement. After much deliberation, I decided to go for it and signed up.
On the day of the tour, I was so excited that I woke up earlier than planned. I took my motion sickness medication and boarded the boat. After a few minutes, I heard the staff say that dolphins were nearby, and one by one, we jumped into the sea.
Honestly, it was a bit scary at first. I struggled to put my face in the water. I desperately searched for dolphins. Then, when I looked down… there they were right below me!! A pod of dolphins! Before I knew it, I was diving down and taking pictures, completely captivated. It was an emotional experience. My daughter seemed to see them well too. Although I joined the tour for her sake, I might have enjoyed it even more (laughs). After that, we also got to see a honu (sea turtle). It was amazing to see it swimming so close!
It was a dreamlike experience that went by in an instant. The staff were friendly, and I enjoyed chatting with them. I've been to various places, but this became my best memory in Hawaii. If I have the chance to go to Hawaii again, I would definitely like to participate in this tour again.
As many have mentioned, I think it's a good idea for those who are worried to take motion sickness medication. Thank you very much.
初めてのハワイ旅行。小学6年生の娘と楽しめるアクティビティはないかと色々探していたところ、このツアーが目にとまりました。娘に話した所、「行きたい！」と即答。野生のイルカに会えるツアーなんてなかなかありません。
私も行きたいなと思いながらも迷いがありました。時差ボケもあるのに朝5時に起きられるのか。あまり泳ぎが得意ではないのに大丈夫か。船酔いするんじゃないか。期待以上に不安もイッパイ。迷いに迷って思いきって申し込みました。
当日は楽しみで予定より早く起きてしまいました。酔いどめもしっかり飲んで船に乗り込むこと数十分。
イルカがいるというスタッフの方の声を聞いて、次々と海に飛び込みます。
正直ちょっと怖かった。最初はなかなか顔もつけられなくて。必死でイルカを探します。そして、ふと下をみると…真下にいました！！イルカの群れが！気がつくと夢中で潜って写真をとっていました。感動でした。娘もしっかり見れたようです。娘のために参加したツアーでしたが、私のほうが楽しんでいたかも(笑)。そのあとホヌもみることができました。本当にすぐそばで泳いでいてびっくり！！
あっという間の夢のような時間でした。
スタッフの方もフレンドリーで色々お話できて楽しかったです。
色々な所に行きましたが、ハワイでの一番の思い出になりました。
またハワイに行く機会があったらぜひ参加したいです。
みなさんかいてありますが、心配な方は酔い止めを飲んだほうがいいと思います。
ありがとうございました。
