Paradise Cove Luau was a great cultural experience. There were many activities that got you involved with the Hawaii culture. Some of my favorites where the spear throwing, lei making, and the canoe rides in the cove. They also had special events that taught you a little bit about the Hawaiian history, like old fashion ways of fishing. The food at Paradise Cove could have had a better selection, but their fried chicken and mixed drinks were phenomenal. When it came time for the dinner show I wasn’t sure what to expect, but I definitely enjoyed the out come. The show was beautiful and told multiple stories of native legends. The costumes and stage props were extravagant and made me feel as if I was in paradise. I personally wished the show was a little bit longer but it was a great show. I would recommenced that families take their young children to watch this show because not only is it fun to watch, but its also very engaging, and can be educational.

Initially, I had hoped to book the 10:30 tour, but since I couldn't secure a reservation, I changed it to the morning and was glad to get a spot! The meeting time wasn't too early, and our meeting place, since we were staying at Trump, was the Sheraton.
We took a bus and then boarded a ferry to search for sea turtles first. The excitement when we spotted them in the beautiful sea was indescribable.
After that, we swam while snorkeling over the coral reef. Everyone wore life jackets, so even at a depth of 10 meters, it was not scary at all. The joy of swimming while seeing the coral and fish was truly a first for me and became an unforgettable memory.
The sandbar was almost at low tide, and it was really strange how far it was from the shore. I would love to participate again when I visit someday.
Breakfast was a sandwich, and the cheese was melted and really delicious.
Thank you so much for the wonderful experience!
最初は10時半のツアーに希望を入れていたのですが予約が取れず、朝に変更したら予約が取れて良かったです!
集合時間もそんなに早くなくて、トランプに宿泊の私たちの集合場所はシェラトンになりました。
バスに揺られ、その後フェリーに乗ってまずウミガメを探します。
綺麗な海の中から見つけられた時の感激ったらありません。
その後は珊瑚礁の上をシュノケーリングで泳ぎました。
みんなライフジャケットを着て泳ぐので、水深10メートルでも全然怖くありません。
珊瑚礁や魚を見ながら泳ぐ楽しさは本当に初めてで、忘れ難い思い出になりました。
サンドバーもほぼ干潮で、岸からかなり離れているのに本当に不思議でした。
またいつかまた訪れたときには、また参加したいです。
朝食はサンドウィッチでしたが、チーズもとろけていて本当においしかったです。
楽しい体験を本当にありがとうございました!

We participated as a family of five: two adults, two children, and one infant. Our accommodation was at Aulani, a Disney Resort. The participation date was July 22, and we opted for the deluxe package.
The shuttle vehicle was a cool van wrapped in a Wet 'n' Wild design. We were the only passengers in the van. It took about 10 minutes by car from Aulani to the location.
Upon arrival, there was a line of cars in front of the parking lot, but since we were in a shuttle, we were able to bypass that and park right in front of the entrance. There were long lines at the ticket booth and entrance gate, but the shuttle driver brought a red paper band and wrapped it around our wrists, allowing us to skip the line and enter directly.
I later learned that this time of year is busy due to local students being on their last summer break.
Before playing, I thought about storing our valuables in a locker, but there was a long line there too. Not wanting to wait, I decided to carry our valuables with me, even though it was a bit inconvenient.
All the slides looked fun, but it was crowded, and we could only do two or three of them. There were no wait time displays, making it difficult to manage our time.
For lunch, we had the BBQ buffet included in the deluxe package. I didn't have high expectations, but the BBQ meat was grilled on-site and was quite delicious. I think it would have tasted even better with some soy sauce.
My son and daughter enjoyed bodyboarding, and they seemed to have a great time.
Our return was scheduled for 3:15 PM, which felt quite early, and due to the crowds, we didn't get to enjoy as much as we had hoped, leaving us a bit unsatisfied.
Also, I intended to rent towels on-site, but there were no towel rentals available, which was a bit of a hassle. I had to make do by drying off with a hand towel and letting myself air dry.
夫婦+子供2人+乳児1人の5人家族で参加。
滞在先はディズニーアウラニ。
参加日は7/22。デラックスパッケージ。
送迎車はウェット・アンド・ワイルドのデザインのかっこいいラッピングされたバン。乗客は自分たち家族だけでした。
アウラニから現地までは車で10分程度。
現地につくと駐車場前に乗用車の列ができていましたが、送迎車なのでスルーして入口前に停めてました。
チケット売り場、入園ゲートも長蛇の列ができていましたが、送迎車の運転手が赤い紙のバンドをもってきて腕に巻いてくれて、そのまま列をスルーして入園することができました。
あとで知りましたが、この時期は現地学生の夏休み最後の時期なので混雑するんだそうです。
遊ぶ前にまず貴重品をロッカーにあずけようと思いましたが、ここも長蛇の列。並ぶのが嫌だったので、邪魔でしたが貴重品は持ち歩くことにしました。
スライダー系はどれも楽しそうでしたが、混んでいて2,3個だけしかできませんでした。待ち時間表示もないので、時間の調整も難しいです。
ランチはデラックスパッケージについてたBBQブッフェ。あまり期待してなかったけれど、BBQの肉はその場で焼いていて、なかなか美味しかったです。肉にしょうゆをつけたらもっと美味しく食べられたんじゃないかと思います。
息子と娘がボディボードをやってましたが、楽しそうでした。
帰りが3時15分とかなり早く、また混んでいたこともあり、思っていたより遊べなくて、ちょっと物足りなかったです。
それとタオルは現地でレンタルしようと思ったのですが、タオルレンタルがなくて困ってしまいました。仕方なくハンドタオルで全身を拭いて自然乾燥でなんとか乗り切りました。

When we arrived at a port-like place after a bus ride from the hotel meeting point, we were greeted by a lively Japanese lady! We boarded the boat and chose our seats. My friend and I wore swimsuits, T-shirts, shorts, and rash guards, holding beach towels in our hands. After a brief explanation, we encountered a turtle. Then we took some photos and headed to the sandbar!
When we reached our destination, we had to walk down the stairs to the sea, but to our surprise, the waves were up to our chests, so we ended up soaking our T-shirts right from the start, haha! After a short walk, we arrived at the sandbar.
1. Those who can't swim stay at the sandbar.
2. After enjoying the sandbar, we split into those who would go snorkeling.
The sea, sky, and sandbar were so beautiful that it was breathtaking! I can't even count how many photos I took.
When it was time to return, everyone got back on the boat, and while climbing the stairs, the Japanese guide playfully said, "Let's splash!" and we all got drenched, haha! We were completely soaked, but it felt great! If you don't want to get wet, you can simply let them know, and you can avoid it. After that, we had a light snack and got back on the bus!
The air conditioning on the bus was quite cold, so it's best to prepare for the chill.
I had a fulfilling time!

そして写真を撮っていざサンドバーへ!
目的地に着くと、階段を降りて海に行くのですが、濡れないと思いきや、胸のあたりまで波の高さがある中を歩いていくので、最初からTシャツびっしょり笑
そして少し歩いてサンドバーにつきます。
①泳げない人はサンドバーのみ
②サンドバーを楽しんだ後にシュノーケリングに行く人にわかれます。
本当に海と空、サンドバーがキレイすぎて感動!

時間になるとみんな船に上がっていくのですが、階段登りながら、日本人のガイドのお姉さんに潮を落としまーすと言われながら、バシャーンと全員水かけ笑 全身びっしょりだけど気持ち良い‼︎

その後軽食を取り、バスに乗ります!

We participated as a family of four, including two children (a third-year middle school student and a fourth-year elementary school student). We joined a movie location tour and a visit to Secret Island.
During the movie location tour, a Japanese guide explained the places used for filming movies and commercials while showing us the breathtaking spots on Oahu. The view of the coastline from the mountains was particularly stunning.
At Secret Island, we were able to casually experience various ocean activities, and the kids were very satisfied. They tried sea kayaking and paddling on a longboard for the first time. While opinions may vary, I appreciated that it wasn't a system where someone teaches you; instead, the equipment was just laid out for us to use freely, making it a very relaxed experience.

また、シークレットアイランドでは、色々な海のアクティビティーを気軽に体験できて、子供は大満足。シーカヤック、ロングボードを使ったパドリング等を初めて体験。人によって意見は分かれるかもしれませんが、誰かが教えてくれるというシステムではなく、道具がただおいてあるだけなので、それを使って自由に使いながら体験するといった大変気軽なシステムだったところも良かったです。

Pearl Harbor is truly amazing. we must admit as Aussies, my family knew only the basics about the bombing of Pearl Harbor, After our day at Pearl Harbor we learnt and appreciated so much more.
Our tour from the moment of pick up to return was exceptional. Larry our coach driver was a wonderful guide. He was very informative on our tour of the city. Our adult & teenage kids were very impressed to see the High School that Bruno Mars went to. The drive through the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific was both moving and respectful. Driving past Hawaii State Capitol and understanding the architecture as well as Iolani Palace and Kawaiaha'o Church and stopping at the Supreme Court were a highlight. Upon arrival at Pearl Harbor, Larry explained everything clearly and we completely understood all requirements.
Visiting the Arizona Memorial was a truly moving experience, both an honour and privilege. Upon return, we headed to the bus to take us to Ford Island to step aboard the Mighty Mo (Missouri). Exploring the USS Missouri was great. While there were free guided tours available, we chose to explore on our own and had so much fun, while still learning all about this amazing vessel. To stand at the very location where the Instrument of Surrender to end World War II took place was remarkable and a moment to reflect.
We didn't get to see all of Pearl Harbor, but what we did see was amazing and we will be back on the Full Tour to see the rest and pay our respects again.

We had a fantastic time at Paradise Cove Luau. We almost were not going to book this Luau due to reading some bad reviews, but so glad we did! As soon as we boarded the bus to get there, the tour guide (Cousin Katie) made the trip so much fun. There were a variety of activities to participate in before the Luau commenced, such as canoe rides, flower lei and headpiece making, archery, bowling and temporary tattoos. The Luau itself was amazing! The dancers were great and the costumes very colorful. The food was very nice and the pork especially yummy! I would definitely recommend this, especially for families.

Hi,
I had such an amazing time on their cruise!! First of all, the staff were all amazing. They were funny, welcoming, and most importantly, love their job! They really went out of their way to ensure that we had a fantastic time! And, the food was amazing! Maybe it's about eating on the boat after swimming, but regardless, it was really good!
This cruise also gives us ample time to really explore the area... it goes to sandbar, a place where green turtles gather, and finally an hour of snorkeling by the reef. They were all amazing experiences, and I would say that it is a MUST for anyone traveling to Hawaii!
Thank you, Captain Bob and his crew!

Since it was lunchtime, I thought the depth would be about knee-high, and although there was only a small amount of sand, it was definitely there! I think it's best to check the timing, and also, since it can get murky, I believe not splashing around will help you take nicer photos!

I was very anxious because I can't swim. I couldn't enjoy snorkeling at Hanauma Bay the day before because I can't swim. However, snorkeling in water that was deep enough that I couldn't touch the bottom allowed me to float and see beautiful fish, making it a life-changing experience. It's okay even if you can't swim. I think you can have a wonderful experience. If I have the opportunity, I would definitely like to participate again.

"It wasn't the oldest company that boasts 'we dock at the shallowest spot!' but it was more than enough!
That said, if you go on an afternoon trip without checking the tide times, you might be a bit dissatisfied, so I think it's better to check the best dates and times within your schedule before making a reservation.
The buses for the round trip are a mix of nationalities, but there are two boats, one with English and the other with Japanese. The man guiding us on the bus spoke only in English, but he spoke very slowly and clearly, so even I, who can't hold a conversation, understood about half of it! On the boat, a Japanese guide provided all the explanations, which was reassuring.
Personally, what I regretted was that after coming up from snorkeling, they rinse you off with fresh water, but even though I was trying to keep my hair dry, the moment I stepped up the stairs, I got drenched from head to toe. It felt nice though..."

It didn't matter at all!!
Before going, I wondered if Captain Bruce would be good... but in the end, the boat docked right next to us, and the destination was nature!
As the name "Sand Bar" suggests, the land stretches wide and flat, so there's no way you can't land.
(There may be times when there’s no land due to high tide, but I think that applies to any tour.)
Anyway, I'm so glad I went on this tour!
The sea was simply beautiful!!
We were blessed with great weather and saw a wonderful gradient!
It felt like I could walk forever.
And no matter how far I went, I wasn't stopped or called back; it was an incredibly free tour, and I was very satisfied!
The crew was also wonderful,
with a perfect Japanese-speaking lady who taught us about the mainland U.S. and a handsome captain with excellent photo services!
After asking the captain for tips on how to meet sea turtles and going snorkeling, I was able to swim alone with a large elder turtle covered in moss!!
I occasionally see turtles while diving, but I've never seen one that big before!! It was so moving!!
Thank you, Captain!

It's a very large and impressive ship! After departing, we enjoyed exploring the interior and lounging on the rooftop summer beds. Once things settled down, we were able to see two whales!! It was a bit disappointing that they were a little far away (we couldn't get too close due to regulations), but from then on, we cruised while watching the whales spouting water. Gradually, the initial excitement faded, and it felt less special. Looking back, I realize how luxurious it was.
Additionally, you can enjoy views of Diamond Head and other sights from the sea, making it a simple yet enjoyable cruise. When we boarded, there was smoke billowing from a volcano behind Diamond Head, and fighter jets were flying low and loud, which felt a bit like a Disneyland attraction (laughs).
The whales were too far away for good photos.
Also, the interior of the ship clearly had separate floors for Japanese and foreign guests (possibly due to the language of the announcements), but we were directed to the foreign guest floor. Everything was announced in English, but the foreign guest floor was less crowded and had a nice international travel vibe, which I really enjoyed!
とっても大きく立派な船です!
出港からしばらく、館内を散策したり屋上のサマーベッドに寝そべったりして楽しみましたが、

私たちが乗船した際は、ダイヤモンドヘッドの奥の火山?から煙がもくもく出ており、
戦闘機が低く爆音でたくさん飛んでいたので、
なんだかディズニーランドのアトラクションのようなでした(笑)
クジラはとにかく遠目なのでよい写真は撮れません。

The stop at Pearl Harbor was for a suffiecient amount of time and our entrance tickets and boat shuttle to the USS Memorial was included in the package. I wish we had covered more of the old town tour (part of the package)as we just drove past Hawaii state Capitol, china town, punchbowl cemetery and only stopped at the lolani palace and king's statute for pics. Our pick up was at 6:35am and we reached the Pearl Harbor at 8:40am (we did the city tour earlier as we had time in hand) and we were dropped back to hotel at around 12:30pm (the drop off would be later had we done the battleship tour at Pearl Harbor). I would recommend this tour to travelers.

I usually spend my time relaxing by the hotel pool, but this time I participated in a tour with my child for the first time. Since my daughter is three years old, we chose this tour that doesn't require swimsuits. Since we were going anyway, both parents and grandparents joined in to touch the dolphins. Having a Japanese interpreter made it easy to enjoy without worries.
We got to interact with the dolphins, and during the rest of the time, we watched a show. There was also a slide in one corner, so we were able to spend the whole time without getting bored. For lunch, we made bento and brought a blanket to eat on the grass. (Although there weren't many others doing the same...)
いつもはホテルのプールでのんびり過ごしていましたが、初めて子連れでツアーに参加しました。
娘が3歳なので、水着不要のこのツアーを選択。どうせならと、パパママ、おじいちゃんおばあちゃんも全員ツアーに参加してイルカを触りました。日本語通訳が付き添ってくれるので、安心して楽しめました。
イルカに触れ合え、その他の時間はショーを見ました。
一角に滑り台もあるので、飽きずに時間いっぱい過ごせました。
お昼は、お弁当を作ってシート持参で芝生で食べました。(他にそうしている人はいませんでしたが…。)

Overall tour was great. Early pickup was good because the city tour was comfortable with a couple picture stops. We arrived at memorial early enough to walk around a bit before the Arizona tour. Arizona was already sold out at 9:00, so glad we got tickets online in advance. Ferry runs every 15 minutes, so it's a quick walk through, but we missed the first ferry back, and caught the next. Had more time to tour the Missouri, and was able to walk throughout after the very informative guided portion. There are places here to grab a burger or hot dog if you like, and a snack store back at the Pearl Harbor memorial. After the Missouri, we had more time to tour the memorial before our pickup time. I would definitely recommend this tour.

I finally got to visit the sandbar that I had wanted to go to for a long time. The Japanese guide was very friendly and fun, and we were able to take family photos in various poses at the sandbar, which became a wonderful memory! It was also great for my second grader to practice snorkeling in the shallow waters around the sandbar. We even got to see a large sea turtle, making it the best day ever!
ずっと行きたかったサンドバーに、ついに行くことが、できました。日本人ガイドの方も、とても気さくで楽しくて、サンドバーでは、色々なポーズの家族写真を撮って頂けて、とても良い記念になりました!
2年生の子供にとっては、サンドバー辺りの浅瀬でシュノーケルの練習ができたのも、よかったです。大きな海亀にも会え、最高の1日が過ごせました!

I was very satisfied with the beautiful sea.
I was able to see dolphins, but I couldn't swim with them.
I also encountered sea turtles and was happy to see them swimming.
It ended in the blink of an eye!

I visited on the night of July 21. I had a reservation for 6:30 PM, and although it was very crowded, I was seated smoothly. There were plenty of dishes prepared, and I was satisfied. When I asked the staff to take a photo, they happily obliged. I was very pleased with the sushi and the variety of Japanese cuisine. I will definitely use this place again when I go to Hawaii.

Thank you very much for boarding with us. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the whale spouts and the views from the boat. On some days, there are active whales that show dynamic jumps, so we hope you will consider coming back to Hawaii to see the whales again. Our staff is looking forward to welcoming you.
