I was unsure which course to choose, but I decided on this one based on everyone's reviews. I had a great time all day, and I think it was good that meals were included. I was worried about the bad weather, but I was able to see the second performance on the boat, and especially the staff on the boat made it a lot of fun, so it became a wonderful memory.
どのコースにしようか迷ったのですが、みなさんの感想を参考にしてこちらのコースにしました。
一日中楽しめましたし、食事も付いてたしよかったと思います。
あいにくの空模様で心配してたのですが、船の上で二次も見ることができ、特に船のスタッフの方がいろいろ楽しませてくれたのでとてもいい思い出になりました。

I had imagined Sandbar to be a sandy beach like in the pictures, but it was just a shallow area, which was disappointing. Also, the hamburger lunch was small and not very tasty. Until now, all the tours I participated in Hawaii were very satisfying, but this time I was disappointed for the first time.
サンドバーは写真のような砂浜をイメージしていましたが、単なる浅瀬で、がっかりしました。またハンバーガーランチは小さく味もイマイチでした。

The bus was supposed to arrive at 7:35, but it was about 10 minutes late. The Japanese people around me were quite anxious about the time. After confirming names, we received stickers to wear during the tour and set off. It took about 15 minutes to reach where the boat was docked. We boarded a large boat and waited for all the other tour participants to get on (we waited for about 30 minutes).
Both on the boat and in the bus, the air conditioning was extremely strong, making it quite cold, so I recommend bringing a jacket. It was warm when the sun was out, but since I tend to get cold easily, wearing Uniqlo's Ultra Light Down was just right for me. The boat was large, so I didn't feel much rocking.
There are bagels and drinks available for purchase on the boat, so you can have breakfast there, but it's more expensive compared to the ABC store (the drinks were about $4, if I remember correctly).
As for the whales, they surfaced a few times, but whether due to regulations or the size of the boat, we didn't get very close and mostly viewed them from a distance. During the ride, there were announcements in English (no Japanese) explaining about the marine life in Hawaii and the whales. Although we could only see the whales from afar, we were still able to enjoy the beautiful sea and Diamond Head, so I think it was a good value for the experience!
7:35に迎えが来る予定のはずでしたが、10分程度遅れてバスが到着。

船が大きいので、わたしはあまり揺れも感じませんでした。
船の中にはベーグルやドリンクも売ってるので、船の中で朝食は取れますが、ABC storeに比べると割高です(ドリンクはたしか$4だった)
肝心のくじらはというと、何回か海上の表面に現れましたが、規程があるのか、船が大きいからか、あまり近くには寄らず、だいぶ遠目から眺める感じでした。
乗船中は英語(日本語なし)でハワイの海洋生物の保護、くじらのことなど、アナウンス形式で説明してくれます。くじらは遠目にしか見れませんが、それでも綺麗な海やダイアモンドヘッドが見られたので、コスパは良いほうなのではと思います!

Unfortunately, we couldn't see any whales, but we were able to enjoy detailed explanations on board. They kindly answered our questions as well.
I am a wheelchair user, but I had no problems using the facilities. There is also a wheelchair-accessible restroom. Please be careful as it can be easy to get seasick when boarding the boat in a wheelchair. You can also purchase drinks and light snacks on board. Since it's an early morning trip, it might be a good idea to eat on the boat. In particular, the orange juice was delicious.

On 11/09/2023 I went on this Pearl Harbor tour, and had a full day of education. This was my first time at Pearl Harbor, and I'm so glad I went with Polynesian Adventure Tours. They were on time for pick up, the bus was so comfortable, and the guide clearly enjoyed his job with how much information he shared on Hawaii.
When we arrived to Pearl Harbor we were given a map, that was so helpful! Each section of PH on the map was numbered, that kept me on track of the schedule of the day. Without this map I would have been so lost!
Each museum we were given plenty of time to read all the information, if you are a quick reader you may feel like it's too much time, but I felt like it was the perfect amount of time. My favorite was the submarine!!
Lunch was so yummy, and was a very generous proportion. Was served in the middle of tour which was perfect for giving me energy I needed for the rest of the day. Highly recommend wearing comfortable walking shoes, because there is a lot of walking throughout the day.
I would recommend this tour to anyone who enjoys a guided tour, and who isn't renting a car while on island.

For the most party, we thoroughly enjoyed our experience at Paradise Cove luau. The best part was the entertainment. We loved the expression of culture and the dancing performances. Our transportation from the hotel to the venue and back was smooth and executed like clockwork. The venue itself was wonderful tool. The beach and the sunset were important part of the whole experience. Our only disappointment was the food. It just wasn't the best. Serving 4 types of protein for dinner felt like trying to please everyone at the expense of quality. The steamed frozen vegetables were no good, neither was the plain white rice. The salad, which also had 3 different pastas (one better tasting would have been enough), was ok.

I really enjoyed both the hula and Elvis, as well as Michael, but my companion was not as impressed... Especially the first-year middle school student kept fiddling with their smartphone.

On December 10th, I participated with my wife and our two sons, aged 0 and 3. At that time, the dolphin interaction at Sea Life Park was closed for renovations, and the other dolphin tours featured snorkeling with dolphins, which would be difficult with our young children, so we chose this option. I had heard that in December, if luck was on our side, we might see whales, so I was just hoping to see some dolphins or whales, but we were able to see dolphins, which made me very satisfied. Additionally, the boat played some lively music, and we could enjoy a few drinks, which added to the sense of adventure.

Unfortunately, it was quite cold and rainy, so most people only played a little in the sea at the sandbar.
However, it's natural, and since December is the rainy season in Hawaii, it can't be helped.
During the sea turtle watching, we were able to spot many sea turtles from the boat.
After that, we went snorkeling. There were many fish swimming around the coral reef, and it was a great experience. I hope to visit again in the warmer summer season next time.

You can interact with dolphins a lot, touching and playing with them. However, the price is a bit high for the experience time, and although they probably explained about the dolphins' ecology, I was disappointed that I couldn't understand much due to my English skills. At Sea Life Park, there are staff who speak Japanese and guided us to the experience venue, so I wish there had been someone who could provide explanations in Japanese during the experience.
イルカとたっぷり触れ合い、たくさん触ったり遊んだりすることが出来ます。ただ体験時間に対して金額は高めであることと、多分イルカの生態のことなどを説明してくれているのですが、自分の英語力ではあまり理解することが出来なかったのが残念でした。シーライフパークには日本語を喋れるスタッフもいて、体験会場までは誘導してくれたので、体験中も日本語で解説してくれる人がいたら良いなと思いました。

On December 25th, most facilities were closed, so our family of four decided to spend the day at the beach. The staff were quick to explain things and friendly in offering advice. We chose to rent bicycles and borrowed snorkeling gear to head to Lanikai Beach. We were amazed by the beautiful sandy beach and thoroughly enjoyed snorkeling. Next, we returned to Kailua Beach to enjoy swimming in the sea.
For lunch, it seemed that many places were closed, so we had no choice but to go with the tortillas from Kalapawai Market (there were about seven types). It seemed like the staff didn't fully understand the tour coupon, and I almost had to pay at the register and nearly missed out on getting mineral water and chips, but I managed to get through it with Google Translate.
I wanted to eat on the beach, but due to time constraints, we returned to Kailua Beach Adventure to eat. The tortillas were very delicious, but they were quite filling, so I took some home for dinner. It turned out to be a memorable day.
12月25日は、ほとんどの施設が休みなので海で過ごそうと家族4人で参加しました。

オプションは自転車を選択し、シュノーケルを借りて、ラニカイビーチに向かいました。美しい砂浜に感動、シュノーケリングもしっかり楽しめました。次にカイルアビーチに戻り、海水浴を楽しみました。
ランチは、店が休みの所が多い為なのか、カラパワイマーケットのトルティーヤ(7種類位はあった)一択でした。店員さんがツアーのクーポンの事をよくわかってないのか、レジで支払いをさせられそうになったり、ミネラルウォーターとポテチをもらいそびれそうになったりしましたが、Google翻訳で何とか乗り切れました。

I participated in this tour for the first time. Due to the weak yen, I requested a shuttle service, and the cost was just under 30,000 yen per person, but I joined with my family of three. The guide spoke entirely in English, so I couldn't understand what was being said, but we had a wonderful time. We were able to take photos at movie filming locations, see cacao that you can't find in Japan, and even crack and eat macadamia nuts ourselves, which was a fun experience. Above all, the scenery was amazing! The weather was also favorable, making both the mountains and the sea incredibly beautiful. It was a healing time for my husband and me, who are usually tired from work. If I have the chance to go to Hawaii again, I would like to participate in a buggy riding tour.

We participated with two friends and two 3-year-olds, making a total of six people.
It was a fun cruise accompanied by cheerful music. Depending on the day, it might be a good idea for those who are prone to motion sickness to take some medication beforehand. We were able to see many dolphins, and both adults and children were very excited.
Although it was my first time participating in dolphin watching and snorkeling, my friends, who have been multiple times, said it was a relatively relaxed tour and snorkeling experience. My 3-year-old daughter seemed to enjoy floating while being held and was happily watching the underwater world with the snorkeling mask we brought.

On 12/19/23 I went on Star of Honolulu, and participated in the Pacific Star Buffet Package. Finding the boat was easy due to it's large size. Walking up we were greeted by real hula dancers, that really set the vibe for the evening. Upon boarding the ship there was staff along the way that assisted in finding your section.
The ship is very large in size, and was so much fun to explore. The top deck was my favorite part, but definitely bring a sweater it can get a bit chilly! I recommend visiting the top deck as the sun is setting for your perfect kodak moment on the water, and once again when it gets' dark to see the beautiful city lights, and view of Diamond Head Crater.
The severs were very studious, and genuine when checking on our table. The buffet line went very quickly, hardly a wait at all! The food was delicious, with many options for all dietary needs. Being mainly plant based I was impressed by all the plant based sides, my favorite was the tofu salad! They even have a vegan patty upon request.
The show, and production was very engaging for the whole family. If you are traveling with a large group including children, I recommend the Pacific Star package there is something for everyone!

At the end of December, it was the rainy season, so the weather was bad and cold, making it impossible to stay in the sea for even 10 minutes. I quickly headed towards the parking lot, but there was no place to take shelter from the rain, and many people were gathered under the small roof of the shop and restroom. I thought it would be nice to have a facility with a roof to take shelter during such times.
The driver-guide was kind and friendly, but since the explanations were only in English, I couldn't understand anything and felt anxious from start to finish, which made the experience zero fun. While there were some pouches with explanations about the fish, I wished they could at least prepare a minimal Japanese pouch with the day's itinerary, return time, meeting place, and precautions for Hanauma Bay. I think Japanese people who cannot speak English should not participate. Conversely, if they want to attract Japanese customers, they should prepare explanatory pouches. If they don't need Japanese customers, then it's fine to continue as they have been. At least I managed to get back.

So much fun. the bbq burgers were good. The 1st stop is not worth it to snorkel, not much to see, just enjoy the sandbar and the volleyball. the 2nd spot was good snorkeling b/c it was at a reef. Don't swim over top of it though. just around it. you can make it all the way around it with plenty of time to spare. It was very fun. The water was a little cold, but not too bad but thats probably because I went the week of Thanksgiving. They give you the gear you need, my suggestion is to fit the mask before you get down to the water. they give you full foot fins to use. The crew was super helpful and really nice. I definitely recommend!!

My husband and I, along with our daughter and her husband and our grandchild, participated. At first, we couldn't see any whales, but later on, we were able to see whales, and there were also many dolphins swimming around. We all had a wonderful time together as a family. We would definitely like to participate again. There were restrooms on the boat, and we could also enjoy some beer. The travel time was short, and we had a very enjoyable experience. Thank you.
私たち夫婦、娘夫婦と孫で参加させて頂きました。
最初のうちは、なかなかクジラを見れなかったのですが、後半クジラも見れて、イルカもたくさん泳いでました。
家族皆んなで楽しい時間を過ごしました。
また是非、参加したいです。
船の中にはトイレもありますし、ビールも飲めました。
移動時間も短いし、とても楽しい時間を過ごしました。
ありがとうございます。

The mountain side was cloudy, and I was worried about the weather, but it was great that the sea was sunny. The meeting place was at a building with a sign for "Ocean Voyage." We handed our tickets to the staff to check in, took a commemorative photo, and then boarded the bus. The photo was taken by a staff member, and after the tour, the photos were presented, and if you liked one, you could purchase it. Therefore, you cannot refuse the photo session, or you won't be able to board the bus.
In addition to the bus driver, a guide explains in English with jokes and music. We took a ferry across Morii Pond and boarded a catamaran to cruise Kaneohe Bay. Once we got offshore, the waves became larger, and the boat rocked up and down. Depending on the situation, the front of the boat can get splashed by waves, so caution is needed, but it was fun. When we stopped the boat's engine on the way back, sea turtles came close. I was lucky to encounter large turtles four times.
山側は曇っていて天候が心配でしたが、海は晴れて良かったです。
集合場所は「Ocean Voyage」の看板がある建物で行われ、スタッフにチケットを渡して受付を済ませ、記念撮影をしてからバスに乗ります。記念撮影は撮影スタッフが行い、ツアー終了後に写真が提示され、気に入ったら購入するシステムです。そのため、撮影を拒む事はできず、バスに乗れません。
バスの運転手の他にガイドがジョークと音楽を交えて英語で説明します。
モリイ池を渡る渡し船とカネオヘ湾をクルーズする双胴船に乗ります。
沖合に出ると波が大きくなり、船は上下に揺れます。船の前は場合によっては波をかぶって濡れるので注意が必要ですが、楽しいです。
帰りに船のエンジンを止めるとウミガメが寄ってきます。
私は4回も大きなカメに遭遇できてラッキーでした。
