Oahu
We have been too the Island 6 times and decided to do this excursion. We had an awesome time. Mike was great and all staff very personable. Saw Mante Rays, turtles and lots of colorful fish. Our only complaint was that they should use better beef for the burgers. Over all we highly recommend this tour you will not be disappointed.
We participated as a couple, and even without speaking any English, we had no problem enjoying ourselves! The staff, including the transportation team, were very friendly! For those who are a bit anxious, here are some recommendations:
1. If you're worried about the language barrier! The Google Translate app is very useful.
2. If you're concerned about getting seasick! I recommend BONINE (motion sickness medication), which is sold at ABC Store!
夫婦で参加しましたが、
英語全く喋れなくても
問題なく楽しめましたよ!
送迎の方も含め、とても気さくな方々
でした!
心配症な方へ、以下オススメですが
①それでも言葉の壁が心配な方!
グーグル翻訳のアプリ便利です
②船酔いしないか心配な方!
ABC ストアでも売っている
BONINE(酔い止め薬)がオススメ!
I had a great time.
Billy and the driver explained many flowers and trees, and I was able to see Hawaiian culture.
It was very interesting.
The lunch was also delicious.
With Billy and the team from Nature & You, I would love to enjoy a tour around Hawaii next time.
とっても楽しかったです。
ビリーさんとドライバーさんの2人で
たくさんの花や木を説明してくれて、ハワイの文化も見れました。
とっても面白かったです。
お弁当も美味しかったです。
ネイチャー&ユーのビリーさん達のコンビで、次回はハワイ一周などを楽しみたいです。
The last time I have been to Pearl Harbor was when I was in 6th grade. During that time I had only visited the USS Missouri and the Arizona Memorial. This time around I got to visit the two plus the Pacific Aviation Museum and the USS Bowfin. It was an amazing experience to get to learn about the history of what had happened at Pearl Harbor and to get to see what life was like for sailors living on a boat. I definitely do not think I could survive life as a sailor and I have a whole new respect for the sailors who are out at sea for a long duration of time to protect our country. I do suggest that if you go on this tour on a sunny day, I would wear light clothes and bring sunglasses because it can get hot real fast and it is very bright. Inside the bus is very cold though so I would bring a jacket as well.
You read the description of the tour first and now you want to make sure it's worth it.... Sandbar, volleyball, basic but tasty lunch (charcoal grill), turtle and manta spotting, and then snorkeling a coral reef. Is this something you want to do, surrounded by natural beauty?
Stop reading reviews and book the trip.
We did this tour on a rainy, windy day in 2018 and loved it! We came back and did it again in December 2019 and had a warm, sunny day and lucked out with really good visibility. The coral reef is just that; when you're underwater the live corals extend much beyond what you can see. It's not just a single live colony every once in a while like Hanauma. Where one huge colony/color/texture ends, others begin. That's what I wanted to see and this tour lets you get plenty of time in the water. The crew is always enthusiastic about the experience, has lots of fun themselves, and is highly attentive to passengers. We'll absolutely be back for a 3rd time.
Mahalo Captain Bob's crew!
It was quite difficult to find a place that accepted last-minute reservations, but I was satisfied because the bus arrived at the meeting point on time without any confusion on the day.
直前に予約を取れるところが、なかなか無かったのですが 当日に混乱する事もなく時間通りに集合場所にバスも来たので満足でした。
The weather wasn't very good, and the water was a bit high and cold, but I had a great time! The snorkeling was beautiful, and I was satisfied to see fish and even a sea turtle! The hamburger was also very delicious. The staff were all wonderful, and I would like to participate again on a sunny day when I go back to Hawaii.
天気があまり良くなかった日で、水が高めで寒かったですが、、充分楽しめました!!
シュノーケリングも綺麗に魚が見え、ウミガメも見れたので満足です!
ハンバーガーもとっても美味しかったです☆
スタッフの方もみんな良い方でまたハワイに行く際は天気のいい日に参加したいと思います♡
The dolphin teacher swam slowly, and we were able to swim together for a long time! I couldn't believe how long the turtle professor stayed in the same spot; it was truly mystical. I enjoyed the activities, and I even saw a rainbow, making it a very satisfying tour.
イルカ先生がゆっくり泳いでくれて、たくさんの時間一緒に泳ぐことができました!
カメ教授もあんなに長い時間同じところにいてくれるなんて信じられないくらいに見ることができて、神秘的でした。
アクティビティも楽しめたし、虹も見れて大満足なツアーでした。
ALOHA!
Thank you for participating in Dolphin University.
We are very pleased to have shared this mystical experience with you.
If there is another opportunity, please do join us again.
All of our staff are sincerely looking forward to your next visit.

The hula dance show right in front of us was very powerful and absolutely worth watching. My family was also very satisfied. I would love to see a hula dance show again when I visit Hawaii.
目の前でのフラダンスショーはとても迫力があり、見ごたえ満点でした。
家族も大満足でした。ハワイを訪れた際はまたフラダンスショーを観に行きたいです。
I was able to see a lot of dolphins, just as the tour title promised! It takes about an hour by bus from the city to the port, but it can be quite bumpy, so if you are prone to motion sickness, it's a good idea to prepare some medication. Also, they recommend using sunscreen that does not contain ingredients harmful to coral. Everyone on the tour was cheerful, and we had a great time on the boat.
ツアーのタイトル通りたくさんのイルカに会えました!
市内から港まではバスで約一時間ですが結構ゆれるので車酔いする方は酔い止めを準備したほうがよいです。
また日焼けどめは珊瑚を傷つける成分がないものをとのことです。
ツアーみなさんが明るく、船上でも楽しく過ごせました。
First of all, the pickup was in a passenger car instead of a large bus, which made for a comfortable ride, and the air conditioning wasn't too cold, which was great for someone with cold sensitivity.
On the way to Hanauma Bay, our guide, Chieko, shared information about Hawaii's geography, culture, and delicious places to eat. Upon arrival, we smoothly completed various procedures guided by Chieko and took the trolley to Hanauma Bay Beach. We quickly equipped ourselves with the provided snorkeling gear, life jackets, and fins and headed straight into the ocean. At this time, Chieko made sure to take a commemorative photo before my hair got messy.
From here, we were told to go at our own pace, so I will write from the perspective of a beginner with average swimming skills. First, there was a thorough explanation of how to swim, stand, and safety issues in the shallow water, and we started swimming fairly quickly. Even in the shallow water, we enjoyed a variety of colorful fish and corals, but once we got used to it, we splashed out into deeper water, where we encountered swirling silver fish and even sea turtles.
Chieko guided us, saying things like, "There are often such-and-such over there, follow me!" as we swam around Hanauma Bay, and by the end, I was exhausted and made my way back to the beach. They also helped with transporting the equipment and cleaning up, so after snorkeling, it was a breeze to just enjoy the complimentary chips and water. Personally, this was the most fun activity I had in Hawaii.
I think it's worth booking this experience whether you're a snorkeling novice or an expert, unless you want to relax on the beach at your own pace or play with family and friends at the water's edge without worrying about time; this is a tour that moves quickly and efficiently.
まず、迎えが大型バスでは無く乗用車なので乗り心地がよく空調も寒くないので冷え性にはありがたかったです。
ハナウマ湾までの道すがら、ガイドのチエコさんがハワイの地理や文化、美味しい店などを教えてくれます。
到着すると、チエコさんに導かれるまま、スムーズに色々な手続きをクリアし、トロリーに乗ってハナウマ湾ビーチに到着。用意された、シュノーケル、ライフジャケット、足ひれを装備して早速海へ。この際、チエコさんが髪が乱れる前にしっかり記念撮影してくれます。
ここからは、各人のペースに合わせてとのことなので、あくまで泳ぎが普通レベル&シュノーケリング初体験の一例として書きます。
まず浅瀬でしっかりと泳ぎ方、立ち方、安全や罰金事項の説明があり、割とあっさりと泳ぎ始めました。浅瀬でもたくさんの色とりどりな魚群やサンゴが楽しめましたが、慣れてきたら沖の方へザブザブ繰り出し、そこではクルクル回り続ける銀色の魚や、ウミガメにも会うことができました。
アソコには良く何何がいるよ〜、付いてきて〜と案内してくれるチエコさんのピンクの足ヒレを追いかけてハナウマ湾を泳ぎ周り、最後にはヘトヘトになってビーチにあがりました。
各種装備の運搬や、後片付けもしてくれるので、シュノーケリング後はサービスのポテチと水を頂くだけの楽チンな初シュノーケリングでした。個人的には今回のハワイのアクティビティの中で一番楽しかったです。
よっぽどハナウマ湾に詳しい人でなければ、シュノーケリング素人でも玄人でも頼むべきだと思います。
ただ、自分のペースでビーチでのんびりしたい、波打ち際で家族や友達とワイワイ時間を気にせず遊びたいといった人には向きません、サクサクサクーっとスピーディに潜って帰るツアーです。
Ryosuke, thank you for joining the tour with your partner. It was lucky that there were no other customers that day, so it became a private tour just for the two of you. We consider the condition of our guests and the sea conditions of the day to guide you to the best points at that time. On this day, it seemed that the visibility was better further out than inside, so we headed out to the central sandy area shaped like a heart. We were able to see a school of giant trevally swimming in circles and a turtle that swam slowly without fleeing. You both did very well, especially for your first time. Please be sure to join us again for a tour when you come back to Hawaii. Let's swim vigorously again! Thank you very much. Mahalo!!
リョウスケ様、この度はお二人でツアーにお越しいただき、ありがとうございます。
この日は他のお客様がいなかったのでお二人だけの貸切ツアーとなり、ラッキーでしたね。お客様の状態やその日の海のコンディションを考えて、その日その時間帯のベストポイントをご案内させていただいております。この日はインサイドよりも沖側の方が透明度が良さそうだったので、沖に出て中央のハートの砂地まで行ってみました。グルグル回りながら泳ぐギンガメアジの群れや、逃げずにゆっくり泳いでくれた亀ちゃんにも会えましたね。初めてなのにとてもお上手でしたよ。
是非またハワイにお越しの際にはお二人でツアーにリピートしてくださいね。またガンガン泳ぎましょう!!
本当にありがとうございました。Mahalo!!
BBQ lunch included.
The lunch service was inefficient, and we were able to get the last portion after about 15 minutes before moving on. I hurriedly ate. It's definitely something you should experience at least once, but the weather is really important.
BBQランチ付き
ランチの配膳が 能率が悪く 最後がもらえて 15分間くらいで 移動が再開
慌てて 食べた 一度は 体験すべきですね ただ 天候重要ですね
There are many video introductions for ziplining at Kualoa Ranch, but this time I went to Coral Crater Adventure Park.
It's an affordable course where you walk around to different locations throughout.
It's easy to take videos, so there were quite a few people filming with their smartphones.
Make sure to use insect repellent! Maybe more flies than mosquitoes?
ジップラインは、クワロアランチの動画紹介が多いですが、今回はCoral Crater Adventure Parkに行ってきました。
手頃なコースで、終始歩きで場所を変えていきます。
動画は取りやすいので、結構スマホで撮影している人が多かったです。
虫除けはしっかりと!蚊より蝿?かな。
Since dinner was light, I was able to focus on the sunset, which was quite nice! The tour guide was cheerful, and the service was excellent. It was a fulfilling two-hour tour! I would love to participate again next time!
夕食が軽食なため夕日に集中でき、
かなり良かったです!!
ツアーの方も陽気でサービスも
ばっちりでした。
充実した2時間ツアーでした!!
また次回も参加したいツアーです!
To ride the four-wheel buggy, you need to make a reservation for at least two people. I made a reservation for two, but my companion couldn't participate due to health issues, so I had to join alone. However, when I explained the situation at check-in, they kindly allowed me to participate solo.
Driving the buggy through the vast grounds of Kualoa Ranch was quite enjoyable, and at one point, we stopped at the filming location of Jurassic Park, where the guide took photos for us.
Also, driving the buggy can get quite dusty from the vehicle in front, so if needed, they provide free masks and also lend protective eyewear, so I recommend taking precautions.
四輪バキーに乗るには2人以上でないと予約出来ず、2人分の予約をしたのですが、同乗者が体調不良で参加できず、止む無く1人で参加しましたがチェックイン時に事情を説明したところ、特別に1人でも参加させて頂きました。
クアロアランチの広大な敷地をバキーで走行するのは結構楽しいもので、途中ジェラシックパークの撮影地などは降車してガイドさんが写真撮影してくれます。
なおバキーの運転は、結構前車からの砂埃を被るので、必要なら無料でマスクをくれますし、アイプロテクトグラスも貸してくれますので対策をした方がいいと思います。
Great instructor and great lesson! We enjoyed our time and will do this again when we return.
You guys did great! Hope we see you again. Chieko.
The content of the cruise was excellent. The food was delicious, and there were plenty of highlights like music and dance events. However, the ship rocked more than I expected, and my companion got seasick, so I wouldn't recommend it for those who are sensitive. That said, I am very grateful for the staff who were very caring.
However, on the return bus, when my companion and I, who were feeling unwell, boarded last and found there was no available space, I tried to ask the bus driver for help. He pointed to the front seat in a way that seemed annoyed and told us to sit down quickly as if he didn't care.
Despite my companion's seasickness, I was overall satisfied with the experience, but that one comment ruined my mood and made me feel it was all for nothing, so I had to give a low rating. The only negative point was that the driver seemed to be chatting happily with other staff and showed a selfish attitude, lacking the hospitality expected from staff.
クルーズの内容は最高でした。ご飯も美味しく、音楽や踊りのイベントなど見どころ満載でした。
ただ思ったより揺れがひどく、連れが船酔いしてしまい、弱い方はお勧めしません。ただ、スタッフの方が親身になってくださり、大変感謝しています。
ですが、帰りのバスにて、体調の悪い連れと共に最後に乗り込んだところ空いているスペースがなく困っていた際に、バスの運転手に助けを求めようと声をかけたところ、面倒くさそうに一番前の席をさしてどうでもいいから早く座れと罵声を浴びせるかのように言われました。
連れの酔はあったものの、全体としては満足な内容だったのにその一言で気分が害され、全て台無しになったので、最低評価をつけさせていただきました。その運転手は他のスタッフとは楽しそうに談笑しており、自分勝手で客をもてなす姿勢が感じられない最悪なスタッフがいたことが唯一の悪かった点です。
Aloha! Thank you for sharing your experience. We are glad you enjoyed your time with us. Please join us for another cruise soon. Mahalo!
アロハ!あなたの経験を共有してくれてありがとう、私たちと一緒にあなたの時間を楽しんでくれてうれしいです。すぐに別のクルーズにご参加ください。マハロ!
Since we had children with us, we chose a five-person buggy, and we had a great time. The children's reactions were a bit mixed, but we were able to feed cows along the way, and above all, we enjoyed the natural beauty of Hawaii. I definitely want to visit again when they are old enough to ride horses.
子供がいたので、5人乗りバギーにしたのですが、とても楽しむことができました。子供の、反応は微妙でしたが、途中で牛に餌をやることができたりなによりハワイの自然を満喫することができました。また乗馬ができる年齢になったら是非訪れたい場所です。
I participated with my mother. Swimming with dolphins is a rare experience, so we decided to go for it. We were in a group of about eight people, and everyone, regardless of age, seemed to be smiling and having a great time. The instructors provided support, so my mother, who hadn't swum in 30 years, was able to join in with confidence. This became the best memory of our trip. We also got to see sea turtles up close, which was a lot of fun.
母と2人で参加しました。イルカと泳ぐなんて、中々出来ない経験なので、思い切って申し込みました。8人ほどのグループで体験しましたが、どの世代の方たちも、みんな笑顔で楽しそうにしていました。インストラクターの方々がサポートしてくださるので、泳ぐことが30年ぶりの母も安心して参加できました。今回の旅で1番の思い出になりました。ウミガメを間近で見ることもでき、とても楽しかったです。
We participated as a family.
It was an experience we can't usually have, running around in nature.
We could wade through the river and go through muddy paths, which made us feel carefree.
If you go too fast, you'll end up splashed with muddy water, so it seems like wearing clothes that can get dirty would be a good idea.
家族で参加しました。
自然の中を走り回るので普段はできない体験ができました。
川の中を進んだり泥道を通ったりと無邪気な気分になれます。
スピードを出し過ぎると泥水を被ることになるので汚れても問題ない格好が良さそうです。
I used this service for the first time. The arrangements were smooth, and there were no issues with the support on-site. I will definitely use it again.
初めて利用させて頂きました。手配もスムーズ、現地での対応も問題なしでした。必ず、また利用させて頂きます。
Dear KEI, thank you for participating in the Blue Hawaii Divers tour. We hope to continue providing excellent service to our customers. Please feel free to join us again on your next visit to Hawaii. We are always here to welcome you back. Thank you very much. Mahalo!!
KEI様、この度はブルーハワイダイバースのツアーにご参加いただき、ありがとうございます。
これからもお客様に良いサービスを継続してゆきたいと思っております。またハワイにお越しの際にはツアーにリピートして下さいね。
いつでもお待ちしております。本当にありがとうございました。Mahalo!!
I was satisfied because I was able to see dolphins and sea turtles. I think it can be enjoyed by people of all ages. If I have the opportunity again, I would like to participate.
イルカやウミガメも見れたので満足です。年齢を問わず楽しめるのではないかと思います。
また機会があれば、参加したいと思いました。

This activity is recommended for those who have a certain level of confidence in swimming. The dolphins were swimming at an incredible speed, whether it was due to their wild nature or just that day, so the instructor guided us. However, if you leisurely follow behind the instructor, you won't get to see the dolphins. It felt more like we were searching for the dolphins rather than swimming with them. We swam with all our might multiple times and ended up completely exhausted. It was a different dolphin experience than we expected, but for my active husband and me, it was enjoyable.
ある程度泳ぎに自信のある方にオススメのアクティビティです。野生やからかその日たまたまかイルカはすごいスピードで泳いでいるので、インストラクターの方が誘導してくれますが、インストラクターの後ろに悠長についていったらイルカは拝めません。笑 一緒に泳ぐというかイルカを探しにいくって感じ。全力で何度も泳ぎ、クタクタになりました。予想とは違うイルカ体験ではありましたが、アクティブな私たち夫婦にとっては楽しかったです。
ALOHA!
Thank you for participating in Dolphin University!
I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed snorkeling with the wild dolphins, even though the conditions varied each day.

I was really looking forward to parasailing. It had been postponed several times due to bad weather, but finally, I was able to fly this time.
Mr. Yano, who came to pick me up, made the car ride lively with his funny Japanese.
Since we departed from the harbor next to the Hilton, it's very close if you're staying at a hotel around Waikiki, which is great.
Putting on the harness made me nervous, but once I took off, it felt amazing. It was truly like a walk in the sky! I felt like a bird.
I plan to sign up for this every time I go to Hawaii in the future. I hope to see Mr. Yano again.
Thank you very much.
とても楽しみにしていたパラセイリング。これまで何度も天候不良などで、遂行されず、念願かなってやっと今回は、飛ぶことが出来ました。
お迎えに来てくださった「やのさん」面白い日本語を使いながら、車内を盛り上げてくれました。
ヒルトンのお隣のハーバーから出港なので、ワイキキ周辺のホテルからなら、非常に近くて良いですよ。
ハーネスを付けるとドキドキしますが、飛び上がってしまえば、最高に気持ち良いです。まさに空中散歩!鳥になった気分でした。
今後も、ハワイに行く度に、申し込む予定です。
また、「やのさん」に会えるといいな。
ありがとうございました。
unreal amazing views and places how close you get is unreal
a must do
been to Hawaii before and missed out doing this
this time booked before we left home
this is the most eye opening thing you will do in your life
will do again again again if I get the chance
I had a great time at the sandbar, turtle watching, and snorkeling. The duration of the stay was perfect, and I have no complaints!
サンドバー、ウミガメウォッチ、シュノーケル全てにおいて楽しかったです。滞在時間も絶妙で言うことありません!
I had reserved a seat in the front, but in reality, I had a great view from the third row. It was a seat directly in front of the stage, which was wonderful. I received a fresh flower lei and had a great time. Since the seats are not assigned, it seems you can sit in the front if you arrive early. Be careful of the pigeons wandering around your feet; you might accidentally step on them.
前の方の席を予約していたのですが、実際、3列目でよく見えました。舞台の真正面の席で、良かったです。生花のレイをかけてもらえ、楽しい時間を過ごせました。席は決まっていないので、早目に行くと前に座れるようです。鳩が足元をうろうろしているので、足元に注意が必要です。踏みつけそうになります。
The Sunset Sailing offered by Hilton is more expensive compared to those from Sheraton or Outrigger, but since I was staying at Hilton, I chose this tour. It was great that the meeting place was close, allowing me to use the time before departure meaningfully. Although the limit was set to two alcoholic drinks, the crew didn't seem to collect the vouchers. As a result, I was able to enjoy as many drinks as I wanted. Perhaps due to the alcohol, I didn't feel the sway of the boat at all. I was also satisfied to see a beautiful sunset. I gave a generous tip as a thank you.
ヒルトン発のサンセットセーリングは、シェラトン発やアウトリガー発に比べ料金が高いですが、ヒルトンに宿泊していたのでこのツアーを選びました。
集合場所が近いので出発までの時間を有意義に使えて良かったです。
アルコールは2杯までとなっていましたが、クルーが引換券を受け取ろうとせず。結果的には何杯でもいただくことが出来ました。
アルコールで酔ったせいか、船の揺れはまったく感じませんでした。
きれいな夕日も見ることができ満足です。
お礼にチップを多めに渡してきました。
It's a small, homey group!
I definitely recommend this tour.
This time, there were a lot of dolphins, so it was lucky.
The scenery, the sea, the dolphins, and the crew were all amazing.
少人数でアットホーム!
このツアーは必ず進めます。
今回はイルカの数が多く、ラッキーだったそうです。
景色、海、イルカ、クルーの方最高です。
The guide was a delightful person, and the atmosphere was enjoyable. Since there isn't time to change before and after the flight, I think it's best to go dressed appropriately to board the boat and fly right away. I participated from 150m, and the flight time was just right—not too long and not too short. I put my smartphone in a waterproof case, and I was able to take many photos and videos while flying, which made for wonderful memories! Thank you very much!
ガイドさんが愉快な方で雰囲気良く楽しませてもらえました。
飛ぶ前後に着替える時間などはないので、船に乗ってそのまま飛べる格好で向かうといいと思います。
150mで参加しましたが、飛んでいる時間は長過ぎず短過ぎず、ちょうど良かったです。
スマホを防水ケースに入れて、飛んでいる間もたくさん写真や動画を取れて、とてもいい思い出になりました!
ありがとうございました!
