I had high expectations since it was ranked number one, but when I actually went, it felt like just a regular beautiful beach without any sandy areas. It didn't wow me at all, and there was hardly any explanation, making it feel like a really long time. I think it was the biggest disappointment of my week-long trip. It felt like a waste of time.
ここでランキング1位になっていたので、すごく期待していったけど実際に行ってみると
砂浜もなくて普通のきれいな海、という感じでした。
うわーって全然ならなくて、説明とかもほとんどなく、すごく時間が長く感じた。
この1週間の旅行で1番の失敗だったと思う。時間を無駄にした感じだった。

This was my sixth trip to Hawaii, and I was invited by my daughter to visit Kualoa for the first time. After having a fun conversation with the pickup staff, we arrived after about an hour on the bus. We participated in the location tour, a jeep tour, and a Kaneohe Bay cruise. The location tour was just as I imagined, and it was quite noisy as we were with a group from a training trip in Japan. The jeep tour was more enjoyable than I expected. Our driver, Mr. Leonald, provided easy-to-understand explanations and offered great service by taking photos at the stopping points. The cruise felt a bit like a way to kill time, but the ocean was very beautiful. I think Kualoa is a place worth visiting at least once to enjoy the great nature.
ハワイ6度目にして、娘に誘われクアロアに始めて行きました。
ピックアップのスタッフと楽しく話しながら、バスに揺られて一時間程で到着しました。
ロケ地めぐりとジープツアー、カネオヘ湾クルーズに参加しました。
ロケ地めぐりは想像通りで、日本の研修旅行の団体と一緒になって、うるさかったです。
ジープツアーが思った以上に楽しかったです。ドライバーのMr.Leonaldの説明が分かり易く、途中の停車ポイントでも写真を撮ってくれたりサービス満点でした。
クルーズは時間つぶしの感がありましたが、海がとても綺麗でした。

During the New Year's holiday, I participated with my two 9-year-old daughters. As a basic point, Hawaii is cold during this time! On this day, with a maximum daytime temperature of 23°C, it took courage just to dip our feet in the pool. It's unthinkable to get into a pool in Japan at 23°C. But since we were there, we gradually mustered the courage to get in, and once we did, it was manageable. However, getting out was incredibly cold. But we had so much fun that it made us forget the chill!
There were slides for both kids and adults, and we didn't have to wait in line at all. We had all-inclusive tickets, but it was too cold to feel thirsty, so the unlimited drinks weren't necessary. As for lunch, there were a few Japanese options, but the buffet was cold and not recommended. Non-Japanese guests were purchasing lunch from the snack bar, which I remember wasn't too expensive and looked warm and delicious!
The boogie board class was also included. However, due to the cold, I wasn't inclined to participate, but when the staff saw the mark on my arm, they encouraged me to join, and I reluctantly did. To my surprise, it was incredibly fun! The instructor taught us the points for catching waves, and it was the best experience. There is only one spot for catching waves. The point where the instructor is riding is the only place to catch waves, so be sure to pay attention to their movements to find the right spot.
お正月休みで9才の娘ふたりで参加しました。
キホンとしてハワイもこの時期は寒い!!日中の最高気温で23℃のこの日、足をプールに入れるだけでも勇気が必要な程でした。日本で23℃でプールに入ることはあり得ないですから。でも来てしまったからにはと足、腰と徐々に気合いを入れて、入ってしまえばなんとかなります。
でも上がるとものっすごく寒いです。しかしこの寒さを吹き飛ばすほど楽しんです!
こども用から大人も楽しめるスライダーまで、しかも並ぶことはありませんでした。
All Inclusiveのチケットでしたが、寒くて喉はまったく乾きませんから飲み放題は必要なし、ランチは日本人?が少しだけ、ブッフェは冷えていてお勧めできません。日本人以外は売店でランチを購入してました。そんなに高くなかった覚えがあり、しかも温かくて美味しそうでした!
ブギボ教室も含まれていました。こちらは寒さの余り参加するきにならず見ていると、腕に付けたマークを見たスタッフが参加できるからやってみろと誘われ渋々参加したところ、驚く程の面白さ。先生が波のポイントを教えてくれて波に乗ることもでき最高でした。波のポイントはたった1カ所だけです。先生が乗っているところがポインで、そこ以外は乗れませんので先生の動きに注意してポイント探してみて下さい。

My wife and me were at Wet’n’Wind in April 2015. It was an amazing day for us and we will do it again on our next trip to Hawaii! There are green, yellow and red attractions so that everyone can find some good option. We enjoyed the half-pipe (the world’s widest one!). Food is very nice and not expensive at all. Moreover, Wet’n’Wild is not too crowded. We spent not more than 7-8 minutes in the lines and easily found free chaise-longues. In addition, my wife enjoyed swimming in the pool with artificial waves! In the afternoon we found a waterfall where you can swim and take beautiful pictures. The water park has a huge zone for children with a plenty of entertainments for them. We definitely recommend Wet’nWind for your vacation, especially for families with small children. So much fun! And do not forget using sunscreen because the sun is very strong at the water park.

We participated as a family. I think more than half of the guests were Japanese. After we set sail for a while, the captain stopped in an area where whales might be and made announcements in English about which direction they were located. Everyone then rushed over to that side, straining their eyes and holding their breath, staring at the sea. (That silent moment felt strange.)
In my case, there were about 5 or 6 instances like that, but I hardly saw anything. (The photo was taken with a super telephoto lens.) Even if a whale spouted water occasionally, it was hard to tell where it would appear in the vast ocean, and most of the time it was either very far away or a fleeting moment that I missed. No matter how brief or distant it was, if a whale appeared, it would count as an "encounter," so it seems we wouldn't receive a free ticket for the next time.
However, it really seems to be a matter of luck. A lady I met on the boat said that the last time she went, a whale came very close, and it was an impressive sight!
家族で参加しました。お客さんの半分以上は日本の方だったと思います。出港してしばらくすると、船長さんが鯨のいそうなあたりを探して泊まり、英語でどこの方角に居ますとかアナウンスが入ります。すると皆一斉にそっちへ行って目を凝らして海をジッと固唾をのんで目つめます。(そのシーンとした時間が変な感じでした)
私の場合はそういうのが5~6回あって、ほとんどが見れなかった。(写真はカメラの超望遠です)たまに潮ふいたとしても、広い海のどこに出るかわからないし、すんごい遠くにだったり、一瞬の出来事で見逃してしまうのがほとんどかも。どんなに一瞬でも、どんなに遠くでよく見えなくても、現れれば「遭遇した」となるので、次回の無料券はもらえないみたい。
でも、ほんとに運みたいで、船上であったご婦人は、前に乗ったときはすぐ近くに鯨がきて迫力だったわ!なんて仰っておりました。
Thank you very much for boarding with us this time. We, the staff, sincerely look forward to welcoming you aboard again during your next visit to Hawaii.

I recommend the whale watching with Hawaii Nautical. The crew was fabulous and very friendly. We got lucky because our family was the only one on board that day. We saw some green sea turtles and some spinner dolphins but the whales were very elusive that day. The captain tried his best and even gave us some extra time to try and catch sight of some whales. He felt very bad that we did not get to see some whales up close. We were not disappointed, we just enjoyed the cruise. But he gave us some coupons for another free trip with them anyways. Next time we are in Hawaii, we will go with them again for sure!

I participated with my parents, siblings, and niece, a total of six people. My mother said her body hurts when it gets cold, so she didn't leave the boat, but the staff were very considerate, and it seems she enjoyed herself. My niece, father (80 years old), husband, and brother were having fun playing beach volleyball. It was my first experience to see how shallow the sea gets in the middle. We also saw a lot of sea turtles, which were adorable. The snorkeling afterward was in unexpectedly deep water, and it felt a bit cold when we returned to the boat. My niece seemed to really enjoy snorkeling and apparently saw some turtles too; she complained that the time was too short, but for us, it was enough. Haha. Anyway, it was a very fun tour. At the end, the main Japanese staff made a comment that seemed to ask everyone for tips (though it was said in a cheerful way), which felt a bit excessive. Since it seemed everyone gave something, it might have been quite a substantial amount.
両親と、兄弟、姪っ子を連れて6名で参加しました。
母は、冷えると体が痛いといって、ボートから離れませんでしたが、スタッフのみなさんが気遣ってくれて、楽しめたようです。
姪っ子や、父(80歳)夫、弟は、ビーチバレーに興じていました。
海の真ん中が、あんなに浅瀬になるなんて、初めての体験でした。
ウミガメもたくさんみられて、かわいかったです。その後のシュノーケルは、思いのほか深い海で、ボートに戻ると、ちょっと寒かった。
姪っ子は、シュノーケルがとても気に入った様子で、亀もみられたらしく、時間が短すぎ~とぼやいてましたが、われわれにとっては、十分です。笑
とにかく、とても楽しいツアーでした。
最後に、メインの日本人のスタッフが、みんなにチップをせがむような話(明るい言い方でしたが)をしたのは、ちょっと行き過ぎな感じがありました。全員渡してたっぽいので、相当な金額なのではないでしょうか。

It was the right choice to select the largest boat in Hawaii since our family is prone to seasickness. There was absolutely no rocking, so we had no worries about seasickness and thoroughly enjoyed the lunch buffet. While eating lunch, we were able to see many humpback whales spouting, dorsal fins, and tail fins, which got the kids really excited. Onboard, we made leis using orchids that were sized to be worn on our heads, and my daughter had the opportunity to present in front of everyone after taking a hula dance lesson, which made her very happy. The men who took the ukulele lesson also had a performance, and the host sang famous songs from the area where the American guests were from, playing the ukulele and really engaging the guests onboard. It was truly entertaining. For the Japanese guests, they played and sang "Ue o Muite Arukou" on the ukulele, and it was really fun.
船酔いし易い親子なので、ハワイで一番大きな船を選んで正解でした。
全く揺れず船酔いの心配は皆無で、ランチバイキングも存分に満喫できました。
ランチを食べながら沢山の親子のザトウクジラの潮吹き、背びれ、尾びれ等が見られ、子供達も大興奮。
船上では蘭を使って頭に乗せるサイズのレイを作り、フラダンスの講習を受けた娘の頭に乗せて、皆の前で発表もする機会があり、娘も大満足。
ウクレレ講習を受けた男性陣の発表もあり、司会進行役の方はアメリカのお客さんが来た地区に合わせて、その地区の有名な歌をウクレレで唄い、凄く上手に船内のお客さんを盛り上げてくれていて、本当にエンターテイナーでした。
日本人に対しては、ウクレレで「上を向いて歩こう」をウクレレで弾きながら唄い、本当に楽しかったです。

I participated in the tour on April 11. I opted for the shuttle service, but there was only one other group besides my child and me. The bus driver was very pleasant and made sure to check if the air conditioning was too cold for us. The tour guide was also very nice.
When we arrived at the port, it seemed that the other tour guests had come on their own, and I thought we could have taken The Bus as well. Once on board, we were given a file with explanations about the ship and whales in English, Japanese, Chinese, and Korean, and we were instructed to wait in the cabin until the captain's speech was over.
Until we reached the viewing point, announcements about whales and viewpoints on Oahu were made in Japanese as well. When we stopped at the point, we were able to see some whales after a while, but only a little bit of spouting, backs, and tails were visible from the waves. If you’re not carefully watching the surface of the water, you might miss them, so if you're expecting to see big jumps like in photos, you might be disappointed. However, it was great to see the large cruise ships, Waikiki, and Diamond Head from the sea.
Once we were out at sea, the wind was strong, and there were moments when the boat rocked quite a bit, so if you tend to get motion sickness, it might be a good idea to take some medication beforehand. On the way back, I asked the driver to drop us off at the Ward Shopping Center near the port instead of our hotel in Waikiki, which helped shorten our travel time, and that was great.
4月11日にツアー参加。
送迎有りにしましたが、利用したのは私達親子の他、もう一組のみでした。バスのドライバーさんは感じがよく、エアコンが寒くないか等気遣って頂きました。
添乗員さんもすごく感じが良かったです。
港まで行くと他のツアー客は自力で来た様で、ザ・バスでも行けたなと思いました。
乗船すると、船やクジラの説明が記載された(英語、日本語、中国語、韓国語)ファイルを渡され、船長のスピーチが終わるまで船室で待つようにとのことでした。
ポイントに着くまで、クジラやオアフ島でのビューポイント等の説明が日本語でもアナウンスされていました。
ポイントで停泊し、しばらくするとクジラは見れましたが、波間からほんの少し潮吹きや背中や尾ビレが見えるくらいでした。
注意深く海面を見ていないと見逃してしまいそうな程でしたので、写真で見る大ジャンプ等を期待して行くとがっかりします。
でも海上から大型クルーズ船やワイキキ、ダイアモンドヘッドを見れたのは良かったです。
沖に出ると風が強く、大きく揺れる場面もあったので、乗り物酔いする方はあらかじめ薬を飲んでおいた方がよいかもしれません。

Thank you very much for using VELTRA.
We sincerely apologize for any misunderstanding regarding the tour you participated in.
Regarding the "Angel's Sea Sandbar Turtle Watching Cruise with Breakfast/BBQ Lunch! by All Hawaii Cruise / Early Morning Plan with Snack Breakfast," we believe the confusion arose because the activity titles are unified under the early morning plan (snack breakfast) and the recommended plan (BBQ lunch). The early morning plan you participated in only includes a snack breakfast, and the BBQ lunch is not included in this plan. We are truly sorry for the inconvenience caused.
We will take this as a lesson to prevent similar issues from occurring in the future.
Thank you for taking the time to share your valuable experience with us despite your busy schedule.

この度はVELTRAをご利用いただきまして誠にありがとうございます。
ご参加いただきましたツアーの件で誤解を招いてしまい大変申し訳ございませんでした。
今回ご参加いただきました「天使の海 サンドバー(砂洲) ウミガメウオッチクルーズ 朝食/BBQランチ付き!byオールハワイ・クルーズ /早朝プラン・スナック朝食付き 」ですが、
アクティビティタイトルが早朝プラン(スナック朝食)とおすすめプラン(BBQランチ)で統一されているため誤解を招いてしまったかと思います。
ご参加いただきました早朝プランはスナック朝食のみとなっており、BBQランチはついていないプランとなっております。
ご迷惑をお掛けしてしまい誠に申し訳ございませんでした。
同じようなことが起こらないよう今後の課題とさせていただきます。
お忙しいところ貴重な体験談のご投稿誠にありがとうございます。
