Oahu
THIS WAS ONE THE BEST TIMES I HAD WHEN I WAS IN HAWAII. THE FOOD WAS GOOD, THE STAFF WAS VERY HELPFUL AND THE SUNSET WAS VERY BEAUTIFUL. I WAS WORRIED THAT THE BOAT WOULD BE ROCKY BUT IT WAS SMOOTH SAILING AND THE UPPER DECK IS A GREAT PLACE TO SIT BACK AND RELAX WITH YOUR HUNNY!
This was probably one the best hi-lights of our trip.It was a very pleasant surprise,as we had no idea what to expect.The only thing wrong was that the sun didn't co-operate for us .But all in all it was a very pleasant experience.I will do this again if we ever make it back there.
Thanks,
Bill Claypool
a friend of mine who went to hawaii last spring break told me about the pacific star and i am so glad that she did. the food is sooooo good and it is awesome being in the private lounge since i went around the boat and saw the other decks and they were totally crowded. we had our own private restroom and even a nice little deck area too. and only $5 for martinis! can't go wrong!
We were not lucky enough to spot a whale on our first attempt, although we were graced with the company of a large pod of Spinner Dolphins swimming very close to the ship.
Two days later, having taken advantage of the free raincheck ticket, we saw four adult Humpback Whales and a calf. There are no words to adequately describe the experience - just go and do it. The Star of Honolulu is crewed by very knowledgeable staff and the onboard facilities and entertainmen are first-rate.
I rode a submarine for the first time. At first, I wasn't very enthusiastic about it, but once I got on, I surprisingly felt like a kid again, even as an adult. There were six of us participating, and just like others mentioned, none of us experienced seasickness, allowing us to enjoy the underwater world. I didn't expect that such a large submarine would have fish coming so close to us, so it was a very valuable experience. However, since we went straight to this optional activity after arriving in Hawaii, everyone ended up falling asleep towards the end. Next time, I want to participate with more leisure.
初めて潜水艦に乗りました。始めはあまり乗り気ではなかったのですが、乗ってみると意外と大人でも子供に戻るものなんですね。6人で参加したのですが、皆さんが書かれていたような船酔いも誰一人もなく海の世界を見ることができました。あんなに大きな潜水艦なのに、直ぐ近くまで魚達が寄ってくるとは思っていませんでしたので、とても貴重な体験でした。しかし今回はハワイに着いた足でそのまま、今回のオプショナルに参加したせいか、みんな最後の方には、寝てしまっていました。次回はもっと余裕を持って参加したいものです。
We participated as a family of five, with two parents and children aged 12, 10, and 8. Since it was our second time, we were somewhat familiar with the place, and the kids were looking forward to the wave pool. The scale of the waves is definitely different from Japan, and even adults can enjoy them. This time, we challenged the attraction called Shaka, which was under construction during our last visit, where you drop straight down on a tube, with my eldest son. Everyone else in the family was too scared to join, but I convinced my son by saying it was an experience you can only have in Hawaii. It was a ride that made us scream after a long time. It’s definitely a thrill that you can't experience in Japan. The short wait times for all the attractions are great. Since we only had about four hours to play there, I think a little more time would be nice. There is a jacuzzi for adults when it gets a bit cold, but there’s no way for the kids to avoid the cold, so having a warm shower or a kids' jacuzzi would be perfect. I will participate again when I go back to Hawaii.
親2人、子ども12・10・8歳の5人で参加しました。 2回目なので多少勝手知ったるところもありましたので、子ども達は波のプールを楽しみにしていました。 やっぱり日本とは波のスケールも違い、大人でも楽しめるくらいの波です。 今回は前回工事中だったシャカというチュウブに乗って真下に落ちるアトラクションに長男と挑戦しました。家族みんなに見てるだけで怖いからヤダーと断られたのですが、何とかハワイでしか体験できないよと言って、長男とチャレンジしました。 久しぶりに悲鳴をあげる乗り物でした。絶対に日本では味わえないスリルのアトラクションでしょう。 どのアトラクションも待ち時間が少ないのがいいです。 現地で遊べるのが正味4時間ぐらいなのでもう少し時間が長くてもよいのでは、と思います。 ちょっと寒いときに大人はジャクジーがあるのですが、子どもが寒い時に、回避できる方法が無いので、温かいシャワーか子供のジャクジーがあったら最高かな?? またハワイに行ったら参加します。
I went out to play with my 3-year-old and 5-year-old children. The pickup time was around 9 AM, which was just right, and we were able to enter the park as soon as we arrived. Since the kids are small, there were height restrictions on slides and such, but they had a great time enjoying everything they were able to ride. There were slides and play equipment in the children's pool as well, and even though our meeting time to leave was at 2:45 PM, they played without eating lunch. Since drinks were free, we took about three drink breaks, but otherwise, they just kept playing.
On the bus ride back, the kids were sound asleep. We arrived at the hotel by 4 PM, so we were able to keep to our schedule, and since the kids were sleeping on the bus, we had a comfortable time! We took advantage of the kids' free campaign, so we essentially went for the price of two adults, which was a great deal! I definitely want to go again the next time we visit Hawaii.
3歳と5歳の子供と一緒に遊びに行きました。ピックアップの時間は9時位でちょうどよく、到着と共にパーク内に入場できました。
子供が小さいのでスライダーなどに身長制限がありましたが、子供達の乗れる範囲内で思いっきり楽しんでいました。子供用のプールにもスライダーや遊ぶ遊具などがあり、帰りの集合が2時45分だったのですが、お昼も食べずに遊んでいました。ドリンクフリーだったので、途中3回位のドリンクタイムはとりましたが、後は遊びまくりました。
帰りのバスの中では子供達は爆眠でした・・ホテルには4時迄に到着したのでその後の予定もこなせ、子供達はバスの中で睡眠を取っていたので快適にすごせました!
子供無料のキャンペーンを利用させていただいたので、実質大人2人分の料金で行けたのでかなりお得です!次回もハワイに行った時は是非是非行きたいと思います。
I often come to Hawaii and have been on pretty much every dinner cruise on almost every island. The Star of Honolulu is a vessel that I often frequent when I am here in the islands since it has always provided my husband and I with a wonderful evening. The Pacific Star has become our new favorite with its initimate lounge setting, quiet atmosphere, delicious Pacific Rim cuisine and a chocolate fondue-like dessert that is to tasty for words. I personally do not like the loud and rowdy hula shows, so the Pacific Star is definitely my cruise of choice!
My friends and I have experienced the beautiful Star of Honolulu dinner cruise and it was the most memorable event ever. To begin the night was a graceful performance of the hula performers who greeted us aboard. We enjoyed songs of a live band and our favorite cocktails as we were seated to our table. The interior of the boat was elegantly decorated with special lighting and table settings, perfect for setting the mood of any occasion. As the large boat cruised smoothly through the waters of Oahu, my friends and I were able to capture beautiful photos together on the observation deck. With the sea surrounding us, we watched the beautiful sunset. Our dinner was immediately brought to our table with excellent service. We had an excellent steak and all you can eat crab dinner course. Throughout the rest of our tour, we watched an entertaining act of Polynesian dancers of different cultures, like Hawaiian, Tahitian, Samoan, and Tongan performances done by professionals with great aloha sp
I took my kids on the Star of Honolulu Hawaiian Cultural Cruise and we had a great time together and we were greeted with the warmest of Aloha. We were served our drinks as the boat departed and then the different activities began. My kids and I enjoyed making flower leis as we watched the other visitors learn how to dance the Hula. On the other end, there were ukulele lessons going on and behind us was a session of coconut leaf weaving. The crew members gathered us all together and we all went out on the deck to feed all these fishes that were swimming in large clumps near the boat.
Later, my kids and I were assisted by a very helpful server with our food at the buffet line. After we ate lunch, we enjoyed the beautiful panoramic scenery from the top deck of the Star and laid back on the lounge chairs enjoying the warmth of the sun. It was a great day and my kids loved it.
They took us to a great snorkeling spot off of Electric Beach, the captain took us to see a pod of dolphins too!
After a quick safety briefing, we headed out from Ko Olina into the cerulean waters of the Pacific with nothing but a sunny cloudless sky above us. I immediately made my way to the bow of the boat so I could have a totally unobstructed view of the western coast of Oahu and the feeling of the ocean mist as it sprayed on us felt divine!
Soon after we hit the open water, the captain informed us that a pod of Hawaiian spinner had been spotted a little ways up the coast, so before we went snorkeling, our we all got to see these dolphins in action.
Spinner dolphins are actually nocturnal creatures, so they go out into deeper waters during the evening to hunt and eat, and then they come back into the shallower coastal waters during the day to relax. It is so cute watching the babies jump and frolic as the adult spinners took it easy in the water. They came right next to
I participated with my mother. I chose this experience because I wanted to show her the beauty of the ocean in Hawaii, even though she is not good at swimming. I was worried about the boat ride from the shore to the submarine since I am not good with boats, but I was able to move to the deck twice along the way, so I didn't get seasick. The submarine itself was stable and reassuring.
However, I was a bit disappointed that there were fewer fish than I expected. But it was worth it because my mother was happy.
母と二人で参加しました。泳ぐのが苦手な母にハワイの海の綺麗さを見せたくて選びました。私は船が苦手なので沖から潜水艦までの船の移動が心配でしたが、途中で二回の船上へ移動することが出来たので酔ったりしませんでした。潜水艦自体も揺れが無く安心でした。
ただ、思ったより魚が少なくって残念でした。でも母が喜んでくれたので行って良かったです。
I had been to Hawaii several times before, but this was my first time signing up for Hawaiian Waters Adventure Park. My children, aged 7 and 9, were thrilled and had a great time. I was concerned about the height restrictions for my 7-year-old son, but he was able to experience most of the attractions, which was great. Perhaps because it was Golden Week, there were more participants than I expected, and we were transported by a large bus. It was also reassuring that they could accommodate in Japanese.
何度かハワイに来たことがあったのですが、ハワイアンウォーターズアドベンチャーパークは、初めて申し込みをしました。7歳と9歳の子供たちなのですが、大喜びで遊んでいました。7歳の息子の身長制限を気にしていたのですが、ほとんどのものが体験でき良かったです。ゴールデンウィークのせいか?思っていたよりも、参加人数も多く大型バスでの送迎でしたし、日本語も対応でき安心ができました。
Our favorite was the big waves at Hurricane Bay. My child and I had a blast getting swept up in the waves. It was a huge wave experience like nothing we've ever had before, and we really enjoyed it.
The slide that you ride on an inflatable ring was also incredibly fun. Especially the Waianae Coaster, which goes through the dark, made us scream naturally! You definitely have to try it at least once.
The ARAN1 service, where kids are free, was fantastic. Knowing about this service allowed us to have a fun time at a great price! We were really lucky!
It was so much fun that we didn't want to leave. My child and I are talking about wanting to go again.
We encountered some trouble when we got caught in a traffic accident on the way there, but I think they handled it appropriately by changing our return time.
Even though we faced some trouble, both my child and I want to visit again when we go to Hawaii.
私たちのお気に入りはハリケーン・ベイの大波です。子供と二人で波に飲まれて乗って大はしゃぎしました。今までに体験したことのない大波で本当に楽しかったです。
浮き輪に乗って滑るスライダーも申し分ない楽しさです。特にワイアナエ・コースターは暗闇の中を滑るので自然に絶叫してしまいました!ぜひ一度体験してみてください。
子供無料のARAN1ちゃんのサービス最高ですね。このサービスを知って今回お得に楽しく遊べました^▽^/ 本当ラッキーでした!
楽しくて帰るのが惜しかったです。また行きたいねって子供と話をしています。
行きのバスで交通事故にあうトラブルに巻き込まれましたが、帰りの時間を変更してくれたり適切な対応だったと思います。
トラブルには会いましたが、ハワイに行ったらもう一度遊びに行きたいと子供も私も思います。
Thank you for your warm comments despite the inconvenience caused by the bus troubles on the day of your visit.
Hawaiian Waters Adventure Park is very popular among both our customers from Japan and local visitors, and we are always welcoming guests with new attractions and services.
We have many family-oriented campaigns planned for the summer vacation and beyond, so don't miss out on Alan1.net!

Richard was awesome as was the rest of your staff. A missed plane, a broken plane and a late arrival made me believe no one would be waiting. Instead there stood Richard with a placard and an escort to our luggage and directions to the rental car agency.
Thank you for making this first trip to Hawaii one to remember.
It was great to see several whales. However, they were too far away. I had high expectations of being able to see the whole whale. Also, the boat, despite being large, swayed quite a bit. The food was delicious, but eating while swaying was a bit challenging... We took motion sickness medication, so we were fine, but quite a few people looked like they were feeling unwell...
クジラが何頭も見れたのはよかったです。が、遠すぎました。クジラの全体像を見れると思うと期待し過ぎです。あと、船は大きい割にはそれなりに揺れます。食事はおいしかったのですが、揺れながら食べるのはちょっと、、、私たちは酔い止めをのんでいたので平気でしたが、結構な数の人が具合悪そうでした。。。
The pools in Hawaii are simple, making them perfect for those who love to play in the water. Additionally, the Shaka and FlowRider are attractions that you probably can't experience in Japan. Even those who lack confidence can have a great time just watching, but our 9-year-old daughter tried it and was thrilled. The wave pool is incredible; it feels like the fun just goes on forever. There wasn't much waiting time, so even though the meeting time was early, we were able to fully enjoy ourselves.
ハワイのプールはシンプルなもののみなので、水遊びが大好きな人にとっては最高です。
それにシャカやフローライダーは日本ではたぶん経験できない最高のアトラクションです。
自信のない人は見ているだけでも充分楽しめますが、うちは下の9歳の娘もトライして大喜びでした。波の出るプールも半端じゃありません。いつまで続くのって感じで楽しめます。
待ち時間はそんなにないので、集合時間は早かったですが、ちゃんと満喫できました。
I went last week. This was my second time, but since I went by rental car last time, it was easier and smoother this time with a tour, and we arrived on time. I felt like we got a bit of a bonus because we were allowed to enter the park first. With three kids, it was great that everyone could play in different areas, with the younger one in the toddler pool and the older ones in the wave pool. Additionally, I was satisfied because the wave pool had waves with a force that you don't find in Japanese pools.
This time, one child was free for each adult, so it was more economical than using a rental car.
My eldest son's comment: The various slides and the wave pool were great.
My daughter's comment: The lazy river and the wave pool were great.
It seems like we'll be coming here every time we visit Hawaii.
先週行って来ました。今回で2回目ですが、前回はレンタカーで行ったので、今回は行き帰りが楽でしたし、時間通りでスムーズでした。今回はツアーで行ったからか最初に園内に入れたので、ちょっと得した感じです。子供3人なので、下は幼児用プール、上は波のプールで、というようにみんながいろいろな所で遊べてよかったと思います。また、波のプールでは、日本のプールにはないような勢いの波が体験できたので、満足しています。
今回は、大人一人に付き、子供一人無料だったので、レンタカーを利用するよりお得でした。
長男のコメント
様々なスライダーと波のプールがよかった。

流れるプールと波のプールがよかった。
ハワイに来るときは、毎回来ることになりそうです。
We participated as a family of four, with two parents and two children (a third grader and a kindergartener). We were picked up by a large bus, and after arriving at the location, we had about four hours of free time. It felt a bit short. We chose a package without lunch. The kids forgot to eat lunch while playing, so I think that was the right choice. The $8 combination plate (beef, chicken, corn, rice) sold at the shop next to the entrance was very satisfying. I highly recommend it! The park isn't very large, and even though it was Sunday, it wasn't too crowded. After experiencing all the attractions, I felt like that was enough, but my younger daughter seemed very satisfied with Hurricane Bay.
親2人、子供2人(小3、年長)で参加しました。大型バスでピックアップ、現地到着後、およそ4時間ぐらいが自由時間となります。少し短い気もします。我が家は昼食無のパッケージとしました。子供たちは昼食を食べることを忘れて遊んでいたのでこれが正解だったかなと思います。売店横で売っていた$8のコンビネーションプレート(ビーフ、チキン、コーン、ライス)は大満足です。これはお勧め!園内はさほど広くはなく、日曜でしたが、そんなに混雑していませんでした。私は一通りのアトラクションを体験したら、もういいやという感想でしたが、下の娘はハリケーンベイが大満足みたいでした。
We participated with our family of four at the end of March. First of all, the pickup time was precise. I was impressed that the coordinator's cute child was able to help out properly. The park was spacious, with a variety of attractions, and the kids enjoyed themselves despite the cold. The benefit of free admission for children made us feel like we really got our money's worth. If we have the opportunity again, we will definitely use this service.
3月末に親子4人で参加させていただきました。
まず、お迎えの時間が正確でした。
コーディネーターさんの可愛いお子さんもきちんとお手伝いができて感心しました。
パーク内は広く、色々な種類があり、子供たちも寒さにめげず楽しんでいました。
子供が無料という特典は、本当に得した気分で満足です。
また機会がありましたら、利用させていただきます。
We went!! Since there were a lot of people on the bus, we went directly from the hotel. We arrived by 10 o'clock. The kids were thrilled, especially with the wave pool, where they spent most of their time playing. There are wave pools in Japan too, but the ones there had stronger waves and felt like they lasted longer. The slides were exciting because the staff would push you from behind, giving you a great speed!! The wait time was about 10 minutes, so we were able to go on multiple times. For lunch, we only had burgers, and without a break, we went back to the pool… I brought strong sunscreen, but I still got sunburned! The next day it wasn't too bad, but they still said it hurt. I regretted not having them wear T-shirts… a lesson learned… I heard there were floaties available at the pool, so we didn't bring any, but there were so many people that there weren't enough, and several kids were searching for floaties. If someone really needs one, it's better to bring your own. Just be careful, as there might not be an air pump available. Four hours flew by, and on the way back, we relaxed and slept soundly. The kids said it was the most fun they had in Hawaii. Thank you, Alan!!
Lastly, I have a request: I didn't know where the bus stop was and waited at a different location at first. There was a place where sightseeing buses were coming and going, and when I asked, that was the right spot… There were a few people who also didn't know the location, and the staff was looking for them. I would appreciate it if you could provide a map of the bus stop.
I want to go to Hawaii again. I'm already planning to go to the Polynesian Cultural Center next time. I hope to rely on you again then! Thank you!!
行って来ました!! バスも人数が多かったのでホテルから直行。10時には着きました。子供は大喜びで 特に波のプールがお気に入りで ほとんどをそこで遊んでました。日本にも波のプールはありますが 向こうのは波も強く時間も長く感じました。スライダーも お兄さんが後ろから蹴り出してくれるので スピードがついて迫力満点!! 並ぶ時間も10分前後だったので 何回ものれました。お昼はバーガーを食べただけで、休憩する間もなくまたプールへ… 強めの日焼け止めを持っていきましたがしっかり焼け! 次の日ひどくはなかったですが やっぱり痛いと言ってました。Tシャツ着せとけばよかったと後で思いました… 反省… プールには浮輪があるとのことで持っていきませんでしたが 人がたくさんで足りず 浮輪がなく探し回ってる子が何人もいました。どうしてもいるという人は持っていった方がいいですね。ただエアポンプがない?ので要注意。4時間はあっという間に過ぎて 帰りはゆったり ぐっすり寝て帰りました。子供はハワイで一番楽しかったと言ってます。ALANちゃんありがとう!!
最後におねがい ・バス乗り場がわからず最初違う場所で待ってました。観光バスが出入りしてる場所があったので聞いたらそこでした… やっぱり場所がわからなかった人が何人かて お兄さんが探してました。できればバス乗り場の地図を載せてもらえるとうれしいです。
また ハワイ行きたいです。今度はポリネシアンに行こうと今から予定してます。その時はまたお世話になろうと思ってます。よろしくねお願いしますね!!
I participated in a tour at Hawaiian Waters Adventure Park with my 11-year-old and 9-year-old children. It seemed like they were looking forward to it the most during our trip to Hawaii. It was really fun, just as we expected. They were excited about the attractions that we don't have in Japan. We played for the entire time without even having lunch. I wish we had more time. The bus arrived on time, and we received cute souvenirs, so we were very satisfied. I would love to go again.
11歳と9歳の子供とハワイアン・ウォーターズ・アドベンチャー・パークのツアーに参加しました。子供達はハワイ旅行の中で一番楽しみにしていたようでした。期待通りにとても楽しかったです。日本にはないアトラクションに興奮しました。昼食も食べずに時間いっぱい遊びました。もっと時間があったら良いなと思いました。バスも時間どおりに来てくれて、かわいいお土産ももらい大満足です。また行きたいなと思います。
We participated as two families. Since I had to take the kids shopping, I made a reservation as a way to atone for it... because there seemed to be so many fun attractions.
I was surprised when we got there!! There were attractions that I had never experienced in Japan, and it was so much fun. Both the kids and adults had an amazing time, forgetting our ages♪
There are many rides that small children can't go on, but if you're in elementary school, you'll definitely enjoy it, and the kids will be thrilled for sure ( *^_^* ).
You should definitely go at least once☆
2家族で参加しました。
子供たちには買い物に付き合わせるので、せめてもの罪滅ぼしのつもりで予約しました・・・。楽しそうなアトラクションが一杯ありそうだったので。
行ってみてびっくり!!
日本では体験したことがないようなアトラクションばかりで、とっても楽しかったです。子供はもちろん、大人も年を忘れ最高に楽しい時間でした♪
小さい子には乗れないものもたくさんありますが、小学生であれば満喫できますし、子供も大喜びすること間違いなしです(*^_^*)
一回は行ってみるべき☆
This time, we experienced the dolphin program at Sea Life Park, allowing the children to appreciate the cuteness and intelligence of dolphins. I was moved that what I had always wanted to experience through dramas featuring dolphins could be done as a family. I believe we were able to teach the children the importance of caring for animals through this experience.
今回シーライフパークのドルフィンプログラムを体験して子供たちにイルカの可愛らしさ、賢さを体験させる事が出来ました。昔からイルカの出るドラマなどを通して一度触れてみたと思っていた事が家族で体験できた事に感動しています。子供たちにもこの経験を通して動物達を大切にするという事を教える事が出来たと思います。
It felt like a pool in Hawaii, but since I was with my 7-year-old child, I decided to sign up. It turned out to be more fun than I expected. Outside food and drinks were not allowed, so it got very crowded at the ordering area during lunchtime. This can reduce your playtime, so I think it's better to finish lunch early. I didn't have enough time to conquer all the slides, so I want to go again! ♪
ハワイでプール?って感じですが、7歳の子供連れだったので申し込みました。
予想以上に楽しい所でした。
水以外の飲食物は持ち込み不可だったので、お昼時になると注文する所がとても混んでいました。
こうなると遊ぶ時間が減ってしまいますので、早めに昼食を済ませた方が良いと思います。
時間が足りなくて全てのスライダーを制覇することができなかったので、また行きたいです♪
It was a package for two people with children (Alan 1 Special! Dolphin Discovery & Play with Cute Rays). Everything was interesting. I might be repeating what others have said, but you need to be open-minded to swim with the rays. The water was a bit dirty, though. However, swimming and interacting with the rays is something you can only do here in the future. (laughs) The space was a bit cramped, but a handsome American staff member who spoke no Japanese was very accommodating. The dolphins left a lasting impression. I think the kids really enjoyed it. The sea lion feeding was also fun for the kids. We couldn't feed the sea turtles; once you get in, if you don't act properly, it can be confusing. The 10% OFF coupon for the restaurant and the waterproof cash case were not given to us, so if you go, it might be better to ask for them yourself. The meals were reasonably priced and had an American feel to them. Additionally, the sea lion and dolphin shows were entertaining. I think you can enjoy them even without participating in the programs. I felt the prices were a bit high. The staff in the park seemed to be divided between really nice people and some who were not so pleasant. However, that was overshadowed by the vacation and the atmosphere of Hawaii. This time, I booked eight types of OP tours with Alan over all seven days. It cost quite a bit, but I made wonderful memories. Last year, I didn't know about Alan and booked local tours through free papers, but I encountered some dangerous scams and misleading tours. Alan's OP tours were perfect with no complaints. If there was a problem, it would be with the tour operator. I received great support from Mr. Uchida at Alan's Hawaii branch for small troubles. When my child had a high fever, they were very caring and responded quickly and politely regarding changes to the tour date and system troubles. Thank you very much. I think Alan's system and services are well done. Once you get used to it, there might not be a better OP tour company. I wish I had known about it sooner. I look forward to a long relationship moving forward. Additionally, if there were operators in Japan, I would be 200% satisfied!!! (laughs)
2人の子供をつれての(アラン1スペシャル!ドルフィン・ディスカバリー&かわいいエイと遊ぶパッケージ )でした。内容はどれも面白かったです。他の方と同じ書き込みになってしまいますが、エイと泳ぐには開き直りが必要です。水が少し汚いかな。しかしエイと泳いだり触れることなど、この先ここでしかありませんから。(笑い)スペースは狭いですかね、しかし、日本語の全く通じない、ハンサムなアメリカ人のお兄さんが良い感じに対応してくれました。イルカは、思い出に残りました。子供達が本当に楽しかったんではないでしょうか。アシカの餌付けは子供達も楽しんでいました。海がめの餌付けはで来ませんでした、中に入ってからが、うまく行動しないと戸惑ってしまうと思います。レストラン10%OFFクーポンや防水キャッシュケースなどは、申告制なのかもらえなかったですね、行かれる方は、自分から言ったほうがいいかもしれません。食事は、そんなに高くなくアメリカンな感じで楽しめると思います。他に、アシカやイルカのショーは面白いです。プログラムに参加しなくても楽しめると思います。プライスは、少し高いかなと感じました。園内のスタッフがいい人と、余りにも感じの悪い人と分かれた感じを受け取りました。しかしバケーションやハワイと言う風土にそんなことは打ち消されてしまいましたが。今回、7日間全ての日にアランでOPツアーを8種類申し込みました。お金も本当に掛かりましたが、楽しい思い出が出来ました。昨年はアランを知らずに、フリーペーパーなどで現地ツアーで申し込みましたが、かなり危険なボッタクリやハッタリツアーにも出会い騙されてしまいました。アランのOPツアーは何の不満も無く完璧でした。ただ、問題があるとすれば、やはりツアー主催催行会社の問題ですかね、小さいトラブルもアランハワイ支社の内田様には大変お世話になりました。子供が、高熱を出して、ツアー日の変更や、システムトラブルなどでも、本当に親身になって迅速、丁寧な対応して頂きました。本当に有難うございました。アランのシステムやサービスは良く出来ていると思います。使い慣れれば、これ以上のOPツアー会社は、ないのではないでしょうか。自分ももっと早くから知りたかったです。これからも長い付き合いで宜しくお願いします。追加ですが、日本にも、オペレーターがいられれば200%満足ですね!!!!!(笑い)
Even elementary school students who found just Waikiki Beach and shopping insufficient were satisfied to go to the bottom of the sea in a real submarine. It's conveniently located for boarding, and it was great to participate as it also healed our tired bodies.
ワイキキビーチやショッピングだけでは物足りない小学生も、本物の潜水艦で海の底に行けたのには満足げでした。便利な場所から乗船できるし、疲れた身体も癒されて、参加して良かったです。
This was my first experience on a submarine, and the tour is designed in such a way that even those who can't scuba dive or snorkel can fully appreciate the beauty and mystery of the underwater world. It starts off slowly and gradually, but right after submerging, the view of the shimmering water surface from below is stunningly beautiful. At times, it feels so mystical that you might even question whether you're underwater or in the sky, with colorful fish that seem to be flying.
There are also areas where boats and planes serve as artificial reefs, and you can see a particularly wide variety of fish there. While I didn't see any sharks, I was able to spot sea turtles quite well. The guide's Japanese was entertaining, and the pamphlet provided for following along with the live commentary was clear and well-made.
One thing to note is that the shuttle ride to board the submarine can make you feel seasick, so if you're worried about that, it's a good idea to bring motion sickness medication. Also, the air conditioning inside the submarine is very effective (especially at your feet), so I recommend using the restroom before boarding and wearing pants instead of shorts.
潜水艦は初めてでしたが、スキューバやシュノーケルが出来ない人でも海の中の美しさや神秘さまでもが充分に伝わるツアーになっていますよ。段階的にゆっくりと始まるのですが、沈んだ直後に海中から見える水面がきらきらと美しく、途中ここは海なのか空なのか錯覚するくらいに神秘的で、色とりどりの魚たちがまるで空を飛んでいるようにも感じる時が何度もありました。
船や飛行機が人工のサンゴ礁の変わりになっているところもあり、そこでは特にたくさんの種類の魚たちが見ることが出来ます。サメは見られませんでしたが海亀もしっかりと見ることが出来ました。ガイドの方の日本語がおもしろおかしく、ライブ中継を聞きながら確認できるように配られたパンプレットもわかりやすくよく出来ていました。注意点としては、潜水艦に乗り込むまでのシャトルで船酔いしそうになるので心配な方は酔い止めを用意したほうがいいことと、潜水艦内の冷房が大変よく利いている(特に足元)ので、潜水艦乗船前のシャトルではトイレは済ませ短パンではなくズボンを履いていったほうがいいと思います。
The event I was most looking forward to this time was wonderful. The weather was great, and within 20-30 minutes of boarding, we encountered a mother and baby whale. I thought we might not be able to see them clearly due to regulations that prevent us from staying in one spot for more than 30 minutes and from getting within 100 meters of the whales. However, we were fortunate enough to witness the baby whale unexpectedly approaching the boat, allowing us to see them up close. After parting from this mother and baby, we encountered whales a few more times, but we quickly lost sight of them and couldn't observe them for as long as we did at first. I now think that meeting this mother and baby was a very lucky experience. I was worried about seasickness, but I was able to enjoy the cruise without any major turbulence. Additionally, they provide medication for those who are concerned. It became a very nice memory.
今回一番楽しみにしていたイベント、お天気も良く乗船20-30分で早くもクジラの親子に出会えました。法律によりクジラの居場所がわかっても30分以上一箇所に居続けられないこと、クジラから半径100m以内に近づけないこと等あって、そんなにはっきり見れないのかなと思っていましたが、子クジラが思わず船に近寄ってくる場面に遭遇し間近で観ることができました。この親子と別れてからも何度かクジラには遭遇しましたが、すぐに見失ってしまい最初ほど長い間観察できませんでした。親子との出会いはとても幸運なことだったのかもと今は思っています。船酔いを心配してましたが特に大揺れすることなくクルージングを楽しめました。また、心配な方には薬も配布してくださいます。とてもいい思い出になりました。
I think it can be enjoyed by anyone, regardless of age. It's safe, and the explanations and guidance are provided in a thorough manner, so I think it's better to have a Japanese guide. The interior of the ship was not as cramped as I had imagined, and I didn't feel concerned about my neighbors. I was able to see rays swimming gracefully and many turtles in the relaxed sea.
