Oahu
The sandbar was really beautiful!! I definitely think you should go! I was able to see sea turtles up close, which was amazing. I thought there would only be English-speaking staff, but there was a staff member who spoke Japanese, so I felt reassured.
It was my first time snorkeling, and I was moved by how many beautiful fish I saw. Also, it was great that we had time to practice in a shallow area where we could stand before going into the deeper water. After getting out of the sea, it was quite cold, so I think it's a good idea to bring a larger bath towel or something to cover your body.
サンドバーは本当にきれいでした!!絶対行くべきだと思います!
ウミガメも至近距離で見れたりして、最高でした。英語スタッフばかりかと思いきや、日本語を話せるスタッフさんがいたので安心でした。
シュノーケルは初めてでしたが、きれいな魚がたくさん見れて感動でした。あと、サンドバーの足がつく浅い場所で事前に練習する時間があったのでよかったです。海から上がったあと、結構寒いので大きめのバスタオルなど、体を覆えるものを持っていくといいと思います。
I thought it would be perfect to participate since my grandchildren (6 and 3 years old) have a turtle at home and are interested in fish. As expected, the children were thrilled and excited about the various fish and sea turtles.
I'm glad I participated.
孫(6歳、3歳)が、自宅で亀を飼っていることと、魚などに興味があったので、ぴったりと思い参加しました。予想通り子供たちは様々な魚やウミガメに大喜びで興奮していました。
参加して良かったと思います。
Our group thoroughly enjoyed this excursion. Our tour guide/bus driver, Garfield, was amusing and extremely knowledgeable. The bus was very comfortable.
We recommend this excursion to anyone interested in seeing the WWII sites at Pearl Harbor as well as the Punchbowl Cemetery.
This is definitely something for a first-timer to hawaii. Its probably not something i will do again, but definitely enjoyable for my first visit! flowers were beautiful, and the lady was very nice and walked us to our baggage claim and helped us with our rental.
The food wasn't as good as i expected, but i think you are mainly paying for the cruise. the mai tais were great! steak could have been cooked a little more. i dont like crab, but my boyfriend loved it! this is def a great activity for a little romance for couples for a nice evening.
I wasn't sure what Sandbar would be like, but it was simply beautiful.
The early morning plan had fewer participants, so it became a recommendation, but it turned out well. The reason is that you need to be prepared for the cold in the morning.
According to the locals, it gets cold after October, so it's not highly recommended.
We were fortunate with the weather, but recently in Hawaii, there has been a lot of rain, so be prepared for disappointing weather...
The clear sea under the blue sky is the best!
サンドバーがどんなものかわからずの参加でしたが、
ただただキレイの一言でした。
早朝プランが人数足らず、おすすめになってしまったのですが良かったです。
理由は朝は寒さの覚悟が必要だから。
現地の人曰く、10月過ぎは寒くなりあまりお勧めでないとのこと。
天気に恵まれたので幸いですが、
最近のハワイは雨続きなので、残念な天気の場合は覚悟が・・
青い空の下の澄んだ海は最高ですよ。
This is my second time on a dolphin tour (the first time was with another company). I was able to see many dolphins, and it was fun to get up close to the sea turtles. The staff on the boat also entertained us in various ways.
It was a bit disappointing that the female staff didn't provide enough information about whether we could change clothes in addition to just borrowing wetsuits or using the restroom.
イルカツアーは2回目です。(1回目は他社)
イルカもたくさん見れたし、海亀とも超接近できたのが
楽しかったです。
船上でもスタッフがあれこれ楽しませてくれました。
ウエットの貸出や、トイレだけなのか着替えていいのか、女性スタッフの言葉が足りなかったのがちょっと残念。
It was my first time flying in a Cessna with another person, and I was very nervous, but the instructor was very kind, and it was fun. I want to ride again when I go to Hawaii. It's a once-in-a-lifetime experience, so everyone should give it a try!
2人で初のセスナでとても緊張しましたが、教官の先生もとてもやさしくて、楽しかったです。また、ハワイに行った際にわ乗りたいです。一度の人生みんなチャレンジしてみてね。
I wish I could have swum a little closer to the dolphins, but I was moved to see wild dolphins for the first time. I also saw sea turtles, and the hamburger I had on the boat was very delicious.
At the end of the tour, we were taught hula dancing. To be honest, I wasn't very enthusiastic at first, but surprisingly, it was fun to dance! I thought it would have been nice to have a bit more time for the hula lesson.
I wish there had been time to change before heading back, but overall, it was a very satisfying tour.
Thank you very much.
イルカともう少し近くで泳げたらよかったな・・と思いましたが、初めて野生のイルカをみれて感動しました。
ウミガメも見れたし、あと船上で食べたハンバーガーもとても美味しかったです。
ツアーの最後にフラダンスを教えてもらうのですが、
正直、初めはあまり乗り気じゃありませんでしたが、
踊ってみると意外にも楽しい!!
もう少しフラレッスン時間があってもよかったと思う位でした。
帰りの着替える時間があればよかったかな?と思いますが、全体的にとても満足のいくツアーでした。
ありがとうございました。
We participated for the first time as a couple. Since we had an early morning meeting, I was nervous about whether we could wake up, but we received a courteous morning call and were able to join without being late. On the way, it was raining, but it cleared up perfectly at the destination, and we were lucky enough to see a rainbow.
Furthermore, shortly after the boat departed, a group of about 100 dolphins greeted us, and we were able to see many of them both from the boat and underwater. The staff were very considerate, ensuring that pregnant participants like me and those with children didn't overexert themselves, which made us feel very safe and allowed us to enjoy the experience. We quickly bonded with the cheerful and friendly staff.
After snorkeling, they kept us entertained by drawing cute flowers and dolphins on our arms with pens and even danced the hula. Both my partner and I are vegetarians, and they accommodated us by preparing the hamburgers in a vegetarian style, making it a truly satisfying tour.
I highly recommend this for beginners, families, and solo travelers alike!
夫婦で初参加しました。
朝早い集合だったので起きられるかドキドキしましたが、丁寧なモーニングコールをいただいて遅刻せずに参加できました。
この日は行きのバスでは雨が降っていましたが現地ではばっちり晴れてくれて、虹まで観えてラッキーでした。
さらに船が出発してからすぐ100頭程のイルカの群れが出迎えてくれて、船の上からも水中からもたくさん観る事が出来ました。
妊婦の私やお子さん連れの参加者へも無理しないようにと細やかな気遣いをしっかりしてくださり、とても安心して楽しむ事ができました。陽気でフレンドリーなスタッフさん達とすぐに打ち解ける事ができました。
シュノーケリングが終わってからも飽きさせないように、腕にペンでカワイイお花やイルカを書いてくれたり、フラを踊ってくれたり楽しませてくれました。
夫婦とも菜食なのですが、ハンバーガーをベジタリアン仕様にして下さるなど本当に大満足なツアーとなりました。
初心者・家族・ひとり、どんな方にもとてもオススメです!
I participated on January 22, 2010.
(I forgot to upload the photos, so I'm reposting.)
I chose this tour because the catamaran Navatek can go to areas where regular cruise ships cannot, minimizing the swaying and increasing the chances of observation.
Right after departure, there was an announcement saying, "You can observe whale spouts at 3 o'clock." I started to feel restless and couldn't leisurely enjoy my lunch anymore. So, I quickly went out to the deck.
Once a whale is spotted, the captain usually aligns the boat at 12 o'clock, making it very easy to observe. Since whales are protected, there is a rule that we cannot approach within 100 meters. However, it's okay if the whale approaches us, so we turn off the boat's engine to observe.
On this day, the whales were very active, and I was able to see a lot of tail slapping and fluking. Whenever I thought I saw a spout, they would do it. Also, they breached right in front of us just once. I was so excited!! They jumped out of the water completely, and the sound of the splashes was powerful and amazing. I was truly moved.
Thanks to this experience, I felt really glad to have participated!
On this day, there were 2 to 3 whales in the group that the Navatek was observing. I could also see spouts from the Star of Honolulu in the distance, so it seemed like there were really many whales in this area.
2010.1. 22に参加しました。
(写真をアップするのを忘れていたので、投稿し直しています。)
カタマランのナバテック号だったら、揺れが少なく、通常のクルーズ船では行けない海域まで行けるということで、観測率を上げるためにこのツアーを選びました。
出港してすぐに「3時の方向でクジラの潮吹きが観測できます~。」とのアナウンス。
私はソワソワしてきてしまって、のんきにランチをしているわけにはいかなくなりました。ということで、すぐにデッキに出ました。
クジラが見つかると、基本的には船長さんが12時の方向に照準を合わせてくれるので、とても観測しやすいです。
クジラは保護されているので、100m以内に近づくことはできない決まりです。が、クジラの方から近づいてくるのはOKってことで、船のエンジンを切って観測する形になります。
この日はクジラがアクティブに動いていて、テイルスラップやフルーキングをする姿をたくさん見ることが出来ました。潮吹きしてるなぁって思うとやります。
それから、1回だけですが目の前でブリーチングまでしてくれました。もう大興奮です!!水面に全身を出して、豪快なジャンプ~~。水しぶきの音も迫力があって素晴らしかったです。すごく、感動しました。
お陰で、心から参加して良かったなと思いました!
なお、この日はナバテック号が照準を合わせていたクジラだけでも2~3頭の群れ。遠くにいるスターオブホノルルのところでも潮吹きが見えてたので、本当にたくさんのクジラがこの海域にいたようです。
I had a really great time! I'm glad I went. I bought the photos taken at the pool! I also wanted a video, but I heard the machine was broken, so I couldn't purchase it. That was very disappointing.
本当に楽しかったです!
行ってよかった。
プールで撮ってもらった写真買いました!ビデオも欲しかったのですが機械が壊れてしまったそうで購入できませんでした。
それだけがとても残念でした。
My friends and I love thrill rides, so we had a great time. It was nice that we didn't have to wait in long lines for our turn. The wave pool, in particular, had intense waves that were scary at first, but once we got used to it, we had so much fun that we could have stayed there forever.
私も友達も絶叫系が大好きなので、とても楽しめました。
あまり並ばずに順番が回ってきたので良かったです。
特に波の出るプールは激しい波で最初は怖かったですが、慣れてくるとずっといても飽きないほど楽しかったです。
My husband & I were coming to Oahu, Hawaii for the first time. He is a certified scuba diver, but hadn't done any snorkel or scuba for years. We wanted to do a snorkel trip, since he enjoys it. I had never snorkeled, & from the reviews I read, I thought this trip would be enjoyable for both of us.
We had a lot of fun - on the boat, in the water, talking with the crew & fellow "snorkelers." It is a great trip for beginners - you get good instruction & practice before you are taken to a coral reef.
Bonus: we got to see several Green Turtles on our way to the reef. We would do this trip again!
The entertainment on this dinner cruise was exceptional; there is so much culture, talent, and professional attention to detail! I really appreciate how dedicated the dancers and musician were to their crafts!
The sandbar was knee-deep in shallow areas, but it was very beautiful, and my two-year-old son was delighted to go into the sea. We were also able to see sea turtles, which made it a very memorable activity for my son.
サンドバーは浅いところで膝くらいの高さでしたが、とてもキレイで2歳の息子も喜んで海に入っておりました。
海がめも見ることができ、息子にはとても思い出深いアクティビティになったようです。
I thought the price was a bit high, but I had a great time playing with the dolphins. If you're going to do it, the Dolphin Royal Swim is the way to go. The fun is on another level.
I watched it once at a different time, so even without Japanese, I understood.
少し値段が高いと思っていましたが、イルカと遊んで楽しかった。せっかくやるならドルフィン・ロイヤルスイムですね。楽しさがちがいます。
時間をずらして一度見てからやったので、日本語無しでも、分かりましたよ。
I was glad to see wild dolphins. I was also surprised by how beautiful the ocean was. My child didn't like snorkeling because it was uncomfortable, but when we used regular pool goggles without fins, they were able to swim happily.
野生のイルカが見れて良かったです。海がきれいなのもビックリ。子供はシュノーケリングが息苦しいと嫌がったが、普段のプールのゴーグルで足ひれも無しにしたら元気に泳げました。
We took a boat from Waikiki out to sea and transferred to a submarine.
The sea around Waikiki had waves, and I got seasick on the boat to the submarine. If you are prone to motion sickness, I recommend taking medication in advance.
The underwater scenery is very beautiful, and it's recommended for those who can't swim (or dive). We were lucky enough to see sea turtles and sharks. It was great to see the clear, beautiful ocean.
When the submarine surfaced and submerged, it was really cool. A must-see!
ワイキキから船で沖へ行き潜水艦に乗換え。
ワイキキの海は波があり、潜水艦までの船で船酔いをしました。酔いやすい方は事前に酔い止めを。
海の中はとても綺麗で、泳げない(ダイビングが出来ない)方にはお勧めです。
私達は運が良く、ウミガメ、サメを見る事が出来ました。
澄んだ綺麗な海の中を見れたので、良かったです。
潜水艦が水中から上がって来る時、沈む時、
かっこよかったです。必見!
Honestly, I can't swim and I'm not good with the ocean (water). I thought, "I don't want to go," even before participating. However, as I got on the boat and moved forward, I was greeted with views I had never seen before. I didn't even have the time to raise my camera...
When we arrived at the sandbar, we went into the water. The water was deep enough to reach around the waist of a man in some places, and shallow enough to reach the knees in others. The water was clear enough to see the bottom. I've never seen anything like this! Even though I was scared, I wanted to get in the water! Even though I can't swim, the guides (a Japanese woman and a local woman) were watching over us closely.
We snorkeled right there, and in the deeper areas, we could see corals and fish. Since I can't swim, I snorkeled just before it got too deep.
If you're going to Oahu, Waikiki is a nice place, but I definitely recommend going to the sandbar at least once.
正直、泳げないし、海(水)が苦手。
参加する前から「行きたくない」と思っていました。
しかし、船に乗り、先に進むにつれて、
見た事の無い景色がドンドン目に入って来ました。
カメラを構える余裕もなく・・・
サンドバーに着き、水の中へ。
水深は深い所で男性の腰辺り。浅い所で膝辺り。
水は底が目で確認できるほど。
こんなの見た事ない!怖くても水に入りたい!
泳げなくても、しっかりとガイドの方(日本人のお姉さん&現地のお姉さん)が見ていてくれる。
その場でシュノーケルをするのですが、少し水深のある所で、サンゴ、魚などを見る事が出来ます。
泳げない私は深くなる手前でシュノーケルしました。
オワフ島へ行くのなら、ワイキキもいい所ですが、
一度はサンドバーに行く事をお勧めします。
Great way to start our Vacation, a surprise Lei at the airport from a friendly local.....aloha and Mohalo
While our flight was delayed, we were still presented with the most beautiful Hawaiian Leis as soon as we arrived! Recommended to everyone to make them feel "part of the islands" as soon as you step off the plane!
The Lei was stunning....I would really suggest this for anyone...my other hald wasstunned literally to see his name up on a board and wishing him a Happy Birthday as well upon arrival right out of the gate....then the delight to be walked to the baggae pick up area and pointed in the right direction to the car rentals...when you have never been there before these little things mean the most....thanks for the memories...we'll never forget the hospitality !!!! Mahola !!!!
When I booked this trip I had researched many other companies and chose this one as it concentrated on Pearl Harbor offerring a full day comprehensive tour of this amazing site .
The tour exceeded our expectations, with Wes our informed and humorous bus driver and the amazing guides at various parts of the Pearl Harbor site all contributing to a very positive experience at this awesome harbor. It is an awe inspiring experience to stand at the place where the war commenced for the USA with the horrible loss of precious lives ,and even more spine tingling, standing at the exact spot where the treaty to end the war took place. The experience was enhanced by amazing informative guides and I would strongly recommend this particular tour for anyone going to Pearl Harbor.
This is my third time at the pool, and I enjoy it every time. It's not crowded like pools in Japan, and I can slide down the slides pretty quickly, so there's no stress. The kids are also thrilled! My oldest child has reached a height of 137 centimeters this year, so they were able to go on all the slides, which made them very happy. I definitely want to go again next time!
3回目のプールなのですが、毎回楽しんでます。日本のプールの様に混んでいないし、結構すぐにスライダーも滑れるのでストレスがありません。子供たちも大喜びです!一番上の子供が今年は身長137センチになっていたので、すべてのスライダーに乗る事が出来たので、とても喜んでいました(*^^)v
また次も是非行きたいです。
I really wanted to go to the sandbar, so I joined! Unfortunately, during the day, the tides meant that the sandbar wasn't visible above the water, but it was still wonderful!
The staff really got everyone excited during volleyball, and I had a very enjoyable time. The food was delicious too!
I had a bitter experience with snorkeling before, but I was able to practice at the sandbar this time, and it went smoothly! A friend who had the same experience also got used to it easily!
There were Japanese staff members as well, so I think it's definitely worth going!
サンドバーにどうしても行きたくて参加しました!
残念ながら、お昼だと潮の満ち引き加減で海の上にサンドバーが出ていることはありませんでしたが
それでも十分素晴らしいものでした!
バレーボールではスタッフの方が盛り上げてくれて
とても楽しい時間を過ごしました^^
ご飯も私的には美味しかったなぁ!
シュノーケルは以前失敗した苦い経験があったのですが
サンドバーで練習もできて、今回はスムーズに!
同じ経験を持つ友人も簡単に慣れていました!
日本人スタッフもいたし行って損はないと思いますよ^^
I participated with my 3-year-old child. We kissed and touched dolphins. We were very satisfied. There was also a place where we could feed sea lions and sea turtles, and Sea Life Park was very satisfying.
3歳の子供と参加。
イルカとキスしたり触ったり。
大満足でした。
アシカやウミガメに食事をあげることのできる場所もあり、シーライフパークは大満足でした。
I participated in the Dolphin Royal Swim. At first, I wasn't sure where the location was and arrived a little late, but I was moved to be able to swim at the same level as the dolphins. By noon, those dolphins were performing in a show, and I grew even fonder of them. I think it's a great activity for families.
ドルフィンロイヤルスイムに参加しました。最初、場所がよくわからず、少し遅刻しましたが、自分と同じ目線で泳ぐことができ感動しました。昼には、そのイルカたちがショーで活躍して、ますます彼らに愛着が湧きました。家族向きのアクティビティと思います。
I participated on September 23rd. The snorkeling was, of course, beautiful, but the beach volleyball at the sandbar was intense and very fun. I think there were about 40 participants in total, with around 10 people joining the volleyball game. The staff were also very friendly and attentive, which was great.
9/23に参加しました。
シュノーケルも、もちろんきれいでしたが、
サンドバーでのビーチバレーが白熱してとても
楽しかったです。たぶん総勢40名の参加だと思いましたが、
10人くらいがバレーに参加していました。
またスタッフの方たちの対応もとても気さくで丁寧で、
良かったです。
I was worried about getting seasick, but I didn't feel seasick at all.
The sea turtles I was hoping to see popped their heads up here and there.
Unfortunately, I couldn't go snorkeling due to feeling unwell, but I definitely want to try it next time.
The beautiful scenery, the cute sea turtles... enjoying delicious homemade sandwiches while breathing in the fresh air.
I look forward to next time!!!
船酔いするので、心配していましたが、まったく船酔いしませんでした。
お目当ての海ガメは、あちらこちらからひょっこり顔を出してくれました。
シュノーケルは体調不良で残念ながらできませんでしたが、次回は絶対挑戦したいです。
素敵な景色と、かわいい海ガメ…きれいな空気を吸いながら食べるおいしい手作りサンド。
次回もお願いします!!!
