Oahu
During our first fishing trip in Oahu, my son caught 3 fish and I caught 5, so we had a great time. The barbecue with the fish we caught was also delicious. It would be good to know a bit about the business as well.
オアフでの初の釣りながら、息子3匹、私5匹と釣れ十分楽しめました。また釣った魚のバーベキューも美味しかったです。営業は少しわかった方が良いですね。
We went on a hot day on our honeymoon. It was very interesting to hear about the history
I've been going to this pool with my kids for three years. In Japan, you would have to wait in a long line, but here the wait time isn't that long, and I think the slides are more thrilling than those in Japan. However, it was disappointing that the pickup time was more than 30 minutes late, which reduced our time there. I thought that if the return time were a bit later, we could have enjoyed it even more.
3年前から子供達と行ってるプール。日本だと長蛇の列だけどここはそこまでの待ち時間ではなくスライダーもここまでの迫力は日本にはないと思います。ただピックアップの時間が30分以上遅れてだったので滞在時間が少なくなってしまったのが残念でした。帰りもその分か、もしくは元々もう少し遅いともっと満喫出来るのに…と思いました。
I participated with my child to try to kiss a dolphin. It was my first time touching a dolphin, and it was so smooth and pleasant. During the waiting time, I felt lucky to be able to watch the show up close, seeing them play with balls and jump around. Not only did we get to kiss and shake hands, but at the end, the dolphin splashed us with its tail, which was fun (laughs). The trainer only spoke English, so I didn't understand anything, but we managed somehow (laughs). Other than that, we had to wait a bit long for the bus back, but we had a great time.
イルカさんとキスをしようと、子供と2人で参加してきました。
初めてのイルカさんにタッチでしたがすごくスベスベで気持ちよく、待ち時間もショーを間近で見ているかのようにボールで遊んだり飛んだりしてるところを見られて得した気分を味わえました。
キスと握手だけでなく、最後にはイルカさんに尾びれで水をぶっかけられて楽しいですよ(笑)
トレーナーの方は英語オンリーだったので何言ってるのか全く分かりませんでしたが何とかなりました(笑)
それ以外は帰りのバスまでちょっと時間が長く待ちくたびれてしまいましたが、楽しい時間を過ごせました。
I took the opportunity to participate with my child while my husband was out golfing. Since it was a three-person ride, we shared the experience with another family who was there at the same time to balance things out. If you happen to see this, I want to express my gratitude once again.
I chose a 120-meter ride since I was with my 6-year-old. There was a bit of wind, so my child was a little tense in the air, but I felt great and had a lot of fun! At the end, they gave us a little splash in the water, but it was a bit gentle, probably because my child was small, so I found it somewhat lacking (laughs). My child seemed to enjoy the return boat ride, which was super fast like a roller coaster (laughs).
The staff spoke to us in broken Japanese, which helped me, even though my English is not great. They also gave us the SD card with all the photos on our way back, and when I checked the data at home, there were so many images (including photos of Diamond Head), so I’m really glad I made the purchase!
主人がゴルフに行っている時間を利用して子供と2人で参加しました。三人乗りだったのでバランスをとるため一緒の時間に参加されていたご家族のご主人様に一緒に乗っていただきました。もしこれをご覧になっていたら改めてお礼を申し上げます。
6歳の子供と一緒だったので120メートルにしました。少し風があったので子供は上空で多少固まってましたが、私はとても気持ちよくて楽しかったです!最後ちょこっと水にドボンと落としてくれるのですが、子供が小さかったからか遠慮気味なドボンで私には物足りないくらいでした(笑)子供は帰りのボートの猛スピードがジェットコースターみたいで楽しかったみたいです(笑)
スタッフの方は片言の日本語混じりで色々お話をしてくださったので英語がダメな私でも何とかなりました。
写真も帰りにSDカードごとくださるのですが帰宅後にデータを見てみるとすごくたくさんの画像が入っており(ダイヤモンドヘッドの写真まで入ってました)購入して良かったです!
It was fun, but I’m not sure if it was because of summer vacation or an accident, but we got stuck in traffic on the way there, and by the time we arrived, the beach chairs were already taken (we did manage to get a seat in front of the food court). It was really disappointing that our stay was so short. I expected the park to be crowded, so that was understandable, but I think it would have been much more enjoyable during the off-season. We also had to wait for the return bus because some people didn’t arrive on time, so overall, the tour left me with the impression of just waiting.
楽しかったですが、夏休みだからか事故なのか分かりませんが、行きの道中渋滞にはまり着いた頃にはオープン後でビーチチェアーも確保できず(フードコート前の席は取れましたが)滞在時間が短くなってしまったのがとても残念でした。園内が混み混みなのは予想範囲内でしたので仕方がないですが、きっとオフシーズンだともっと楽しかっただろうなと思います。帰りのバスも時間に来ない方がいらっしゃって待たされ、全体的に待ち時間ばかりが印象に残るツアーになってしまいました。
I had a very satisfying experience that I couldn't have in Japan. The driver explained various places in English on the way, and took us to famous spots for a little sightseeing.
After that, we arrived at the farm and checked in with an iPad. Since it was in English, I couldn't understand everything that was written, but I think it was an explanation of the risks.
It's also possible to take photos with your mobile phone. If there are measures in place to prevent it from falling, I definitely think you should bring it along.
It's a very expensive activity, but I believe it is worth the value.
日本では体験できない体験ができて非常に満足。
行きにドライバーが英語でいろんな場所を説明(英語)
プチ観光で名所に連れて行ってくれた。
そのあとファームに着きipadでチェックイン。英語なので何が書いてあるかはよくわかりませんがリスクの説明だと思います。
携帯電話で写真を取ることも可能です。落下しないような工夫ができているのであればぜひ持っていったほうがいいと思います。
とても高額なアクティビティですが、それに匹敵する価値はあると思います。
I had a very enjoyable day. Here’s a summary of my experiences:
****** Meeting Point ******
- Gather in front of the three flags at the Ilikai Hotel.
- There were many Japanese people around at the meeting time.
- The bus driver (a foreigner) was taking attendance.
- Before boarding, we each received wristbands according to our plans.
- The bus was cold. It's better to choose a seat where the overhead vent is not broken, as the vent was blocked and couldn't be closed.
- Arrived 30 minutes before the opening. It’s a good idea to eat breakfast during that time. You can also eat while the bus is driving.
****** Entrance ******
- It's better to line up early to secure a large locker.
- While waiting in line, it's a good idea to apply sunscreen.
- Food and drinks cannot be brought in. There will be a check.
- Dash to secure a locker as soon as the venue opens!!
- Lockers are selected via a touch panel. Choose large or small based on the order, and insert your credit card.
Note: It takes time for the credit card to be recognized after insertion. Once you register your PIN, you will be assigned a locker number.
****** Attractions ******
- It's best to do everything you want to do first thing in the morning.
- Weekdays are recommended. You can ride without waiting in line.
- Flip-flops are essential. You can take them off at the entrance, but it’s fine to just stick your arm through the thong part when riding. In fact, if you take them off, you might regret it.
****** Food and Drink ******
- It's expensive, but not enough to justify an all-you-can-drink or all-you-can-eat option. It would be a waste of time.
- Definitely recommend using a credit card.
That’s all. Hope this helps!
とても楽しい1日を過ごせました。体験したことを箇条書きにしますね。
****** 集合 ******
・イリカイホテル前にある3本の旗が立っている前で集合
・集合時間にそのあたりに日本人がたくさんいた
・バスドライバー(外国人)が点呼をしていた
・乗る前にそれぞれのプランごとにリストバンドをしてもらう
・バスの中は寒い。吹き出し口が壊れていて塞ぐことができないから上の吹き出し口が壊れていない席を選んだほうがいい。
・開場30分前に到着。待ちぼうけ。その間に朝ごはん食べたほうがいい。バス運転中も食べることは可能。
****** 入園 ******
・早めに並んだほうがいい→ロッカー大を確保するため
・並んでいる間に日焼け止めの対策をするといい
・飲み物食べ物は持ち込めない。チェックがあります。
・開場とともにロッカーの確保のためダッシュ!!
・ロッカーはタッチパネルで選択。順番的に大or小を選び、クレジットカードを挿入。
注)挿入してからクレジットカードを認識するまで時間がかかる
暗証番号を登録したら、ロッカー番号を指定されます。
****** 遊具 ******
・朝一に行きたいものは全ていったほうがいい
・平日がおすすめ。並ばず乗れる
・ビーチサンダルは必須。入り口に脱いでいるが、そんなことしなくても乗るときに鼻緒の部分に腕を突っ込めば問題ない。むしろ脱いでいくと地獄を見る
****** 飲食 ******
・高いが、飲み放題や食べ放題にするほどではない。時間がもったいない
・クレジットカード利用が絶対おすすめ。
以上です。参考までに
Great adventure for any age - my mom (81) and aunt (76) had a blast swinging 1,000 feet up taking in the breathtaking views of Oahu. Lots of fun with a dip or two into the Pacific Ocean before being brought back into the boat. Highly recommend to anyone who wants a different perspective of Hawaii and the beautiful blue ocean.
It was quite comfortable with little shaking. There were many people from overseas. The staff was very friendly. We could see a rainbow in a semicircle.
あまり揺れなくてかなり快適。
海外からの方々非常に多いです。
スタッフかなり親切でした。レインボーが半円でみれました。
We went with a 13-year-old, a 7-year-old, a 4-year-old, and a 1-year-old.
There are many attractions that each of them can enjoy.
We visited on a Saturday, and there were a lot of locals.
The concession stand was a bit pricey, but we got 8 mini hamburgers, 4 drinks, and a large order of fries for just under $40.
I recommend it!
13歳、7歳、4歳、1歳でいきました。
それぞれが遊べるアトラクションが多数あります。
土曜日にいきましたが、地元の方々
非常に多かった。
売店は高めでしたがミニハンバーガー8個、ドリンク4つ、大山盛りポテトで40ドル弱
おすすめです!
First of all, I felt a great sense of reassurance when I saw the Japanese staff welcoming us. The explanations were all very thorough, covering how to use the snorkel, how to use the life jacket, and details about the dolphins we would see, which made me really excited before getting in the water. Thanks to the staff, we were able to see many dolphins and turtles! The staff were truly dedicated, guiding everyone with enthusiasm, saying things like, "There are dolphins here!" and we had a wonderful time.
However, there was one point that might have been due to my not reading all the details thoroughly: the photographer takes pictures of everyone throughout the experience! The photos, as shown, are really beautiful and I love them, but they are quite expensive... around 5,000 to 6,000 yen. I only heard about this for the first time on the bus after the shoot. Of course, purchasing is optional, but I think most people will want the photos taken together, so please keep the additional photo costs in mind.
That said, both the experience and the photos were fantastic, so I am very satisfied. Thank you to the friendly and warm staff! I will definitely participate again when I go to Hawaii!
まずお出迎えから日本人スタッフさんがいたことでかなり安心感がありました。また説明はすべて丁寧で、シュノーケルの使い方、救命胴衣の使い方、見られるイルカの説明など入水前からかなりウキウキする内容でした。そして実際には、スタッフさんのおかげで沢山のイルカや亀を見ることができました!スタッフみなさん本当に一生懸命「ここにイルカがいるよ~!!」などとみんなを先導してくださり素晴らしい時間を過ごすことができました。ただ1点だけ、私が隅々まで説明を読んでいなかったからかもしれませんが、カメラマンさんが随時みんなの写真を撮ってくれます!写真も載せているようにとても素敵でかなり気に入っていますが、値段が高いです・・・5~6千円くらいです。これは撮影終わったバスのなかで初めて聞きました。もちろん購入は自由だそうですが、みんなで撮った写真はほとんどの人がほしくなると思いますので追加で写真代金も念頭においてください。
ですが内容も写真も最高だったので私は大満足です。フレンドリーで温かいスタッフさんありがとうございました!!またハワイに行く際には絶対参加します!
ALOHA! Baby,
Thank you for participating in Dolphin University. At Dolphin Junior High/University, a Japanese guide will always accompany you, so I believe everyone can participate with peace of mind! The wonderful photos with the sea turtles have been captured from angles only a professional photographer could achieve. They are truly fantastic!
Please join us again when you come to Hawaii. All of our staff are looking forward to welcoming you!
MAHALO!

We participated as a family of four. Early in the morning, there are important safety briefings on the bus. The tour was packed with activities, including four opportunities to enter the water while searching for dolphins, snorkeling with sea turtles, and time to challenge ourselves with canoeing.
家族4人で参加。朝早くバス中も安全上大切な説明があります。イルカを探して4回の入水、海亀と一緒に泳いだシュノーケリングとカヌー挑戦の時間など、休むまもないほど中身の詰まったツアーでした。◎
Aloha!! Take-chan,
Thank you for participating in the Dolphin University tour. We are all very happy to hear that you had an experience that is hard to come by in Japan and that it has become one of your wonderful memories in Hawaii. When you visit Hawaii again, we also have manta tours available on the Big Island that you won't find on Oahu, so we look forward to your next visit.
Mahalo!!

Aloha!! たけちゃん様
この度はイルカ大学のツアーにご参加頂き、ありがとうございました。
日本では中々経験できない体験をして、ハワイでの素敵な思い出の一つとなったようでスタッフ一同嬉しい限りです。
次回ハワイにお越しの際には、ハワイ島ではオアフ島にはないマンタツアーなどもございますので、またのお越しをお待ちしております。
Mahalo!!

Since I booked with a slightly higher fee as an advanced rider, I might have expected more, but it felt like there was no difference from the beginner course, as we only did a little bit of cantering about twice.
上級者ということで、すこし上乗せの金額を払って予約したのだけど、2回くらい少しだけ駈歩しただけで、初心者コースと変わりなかったかも。
If I could give advice to someone going for the first time, I would say:
- Since time is limited, wear your swimsuit on the way there. The bus can be cold, so bring a jacket.
- During lunchtime, the snack shop is extremely crowded. You will have to stand in line to place your order and then get in another line to pick it up. Try to have lunch either early or late.
- As the tour's return time approaches, more people will be changing, but there are only about six changing rooms. It’s not ideal to get on a cold bus without properly drying your hair or body, so it’s better to change early and have some time to browse the shops.
It's not a very large facility and can get crowded, but just being able to play in a pool in Hawaii is exciting. Considering that, I give it four stars.
もしこれから初めて行く人にアドバイスできるなら、
・時間に限りがあるので行きは水着着用で。バスは寒いので上着を羽織りましょう。
・昼食時、売店はめちゃ混みです。オーダーするために行列に並び、受け取るために隣の行列にまた並びます。昼食は早めか遅めに。
・ツアーの帰り時間近くになると着替える人たちが増えますが、更衣室は6室位しかないです。ろくに髪や体を乾かせないまま冷房の効いたバスに乗るのも良くないので、早めに着替えてショップをブラつく位の余裕を持った方がいいです。
そんなに大きな施設ではないし混んでますが、ハワイのプールで遊んでるってだけでテンション上がります。そこも含めて☆4つです。
My husband and son participated. They said it was their first time surfing, and they had a lot of fun, even more than they expected. My husband said we definitely should do it, so next time, I would love for my daughter and me to join as well.
夫と息子が参加しました。
初めてのサーフィン、予想以上に乗れて
楽しかったと言ってました。
絶対やった方がいいと夫が言ってくれたので、
次回は私と娘も是非参加したいです。
Since I made the reservation the evening before, it was confirmed on the morning of the tour. If you want to book a morning tour, it's best to make your reservation early because the option may not be available after the evening of the previous day (I was slow to decide in the evening, so I couldn't get a morning reservation).
Parasailing was fun, refreshing, and the sea was beautiful—it went by in no time! I'm not afraid of heights, but even at 90 meters, it was plenty high. They take photos and videos with a GoPro, but each costs $40 or both for $65, which isn't cheap (laughs). You can ask other participants waiting for their turn or during the boat ride to take a few pictures with your own camera.
前日夕方予約申込だったので当日朝に予約確定になりました。朝イチのツアーを希望される場合は、前日夕方になると受付終了なのか選択できなくなっていたのでお早めの予約がおすすめです(私は夕方までもたもたしていたので朝イチの予約はとれませんでした)。
パラセーリングが楽しくて気持ちよくて海もキレイであっという間でした!高所恐怖症でもありませんが90mでも十分。
写真とGoProで撮ってくれますが各$40/両方$65なので安くないですよね(笑)
船での移動中や自分達の番に待機中の別の参加者にお願いすれば自分のカメラでも何枚かは撮れます。
We participated as a family of three, including our 13-year-old son. The pickup arrived a little before the designated time, just before 8 AM. The local Hawaiian staff spoke broken Japanese during the ride, but most of the communication was in English. We departed from a port that doesn't go to Ala Moana. There were two crew members, and they also spoke broken Japanese. The explanations were mainly in English, but there were no complicated instructions, so we felt at ease.
Besides our family, there were other Japanese families, newlyweds, foreign couples, and foreign families. Our family was called first, and while we were being set up, they offered to take pictures during the flight for $30. It was a sudden offer, and since I didn't have any cash on hand, I politely declined with a "No, thank you." Shortly after, we were gently released into the air. We soared high, with clear weather, even higher than the birds flying over the sea, and we could see Waikiki Beach from above, which was amazing.
Since holding a regular camera was risky, I brought an action camera like a GoPro and secured it to my chest, allowing me to capture great memories. The flight felt brief, and at the end, we were lightly dropped onto the water, which was a fun part of the experience. We touched down gently on the boat and were welcomed with applause from the waiting participants. While waiting, we could enjoy watching others fly.
Before leaving the ship, since we participated as three, we handed over $40 and disembarked. This was our first parasailing experience, and with the weather, location, and a height of 150 meters, it was an unprecedented experience that created wonderful memories for our whole family.
13歳の息子を含む、親子三人で参加しました。
朝8時前の迎えは指定時間少し前に来てくれました。
車中は現地ハワイ人のスタッフが片言の日本語で話をしてくれます。
大半は英語です。
アラモアナまで行かない港から出発
船員さんは二人。彼らも片言の日本語です。
基本英語での説明になりますが、難しい説明も特になく心配ありませんでした。
私たち家族のほか、日本人家族、新婚さん、外国人カップル、外国人家族です。
一番最初に私たち家族が呼ばれ、セットされるあいだに飛んでる間の写真を撮るけど$30ね!
急に言われたのですが、持ち合わせもなかったので、No Thank you.と断りました。
そのあとすぐにフワリと空へ放たれました。
ぐんぐん空へ、天気もよく海上を飛ぶ鳥より高く
ワイキキビーチも上空から見え最高です。
手持ちのカメラは危険なので、GoPro等のアクティブカメラを持参して
胸に固定し参加することができ、思い出もバッチリ撮影できました。
あっという間のフライト最後に海上へ軽く落とされ
濡れますが、それも楽しみの一つ。
丁寧に船の上にタッチダウンし、待っている参加者から拍手で迎えられます。
待っている間も、他の参加者の飛んでいるところを楽しめます。
寄港し、船を離れる前に三人で参加したので$40を手渡しして船を離れました。
今回、初めてのパラセイルでしたが天気、ロケーション、高さも150mと
今までにない経験することができ、家族みんなで最高の思い出になりました。
On the day, it wasn't the time when the sandy beach was elevated, but we were able to enjoy ourselves thoroughly. The photos taken from above the water looked very atmospheric. The way the island was reflected was also very nice. I wish it had been a bit sunnier, but it wasn't too hot, and I was very satisfied.
当日は砂浜が浮き上がっている時間帯ではありませんでいたが、十分に楽しむことができました。海の水の上から、自分たちを移した写真が大変雰囲気良く映ってくれました。島を爆気にした映り方も大変雰囲気が良かったものでした。できればもう少し晴れていてほしかったですが、暑くも無く、大変満足です。
I experienced the Dolphin Swim Adventure, which involves riding on a dolphin. It was about an hour-long experience where we received explanations and played with the dolphins. Including the time for changing after the attraction, you should expect it to take about an hour and a half.
There were Japanese staff members who provided some information in advance about where and when to meet, as well as safety instructions for the attraction. The instructors for the attraction themselves hardly spoke Japanese, but thanks to the prior explanations, there were no issues.
In this course, you hold onto the dolphin's dorsal fin and get pulled for a few meters, and then the dolphin goes belly down, and you hold onto its flippers for a few meters as it pulls you along. You also get to touch the dolphin's belly and give it a kiss. The kids were absolutely thrilled.
The Sea Life Park itself is small, so I think half a day is sufficient. Without the attractions, you might find yourself bored until the pick-up time.
ドルフィンスイムアドベンチャーを体験してきました。一匹のイルカに
乗るコースです。説明を受けたり、実際にイルカと遊んだりして、賞味一時間の体験でした。アトラクション後の着替えを含めると一時間半はかかると思ってください。
日本人スタッフの方がいて、事前に何時にどこに集合とか、アトラクションでの注意事項とか
ある程度説明してくれます。アトラクション自体のインストラクターは、日本語はほぼ話せません。(ただ事前説明のおかげで困ることはないです)
このコースはイルカの背びれにつかまって数メートル、イルカが腹ばいになって、両ひれに
つかまって数メートルイルカに引っ張ってもらいます。
そのほかイルカのおなかを触ったり、キスしたりします。
子供も大喜びでした。
シーライフパーク自体は狭いので、半日もあれば十分だと思います。
アトラクションがないと、送迎時間まで退屈してしまうかも知れません。
We participated as a family of three and were able to fly together. While many companies have a weight restriction of "27 kilograms or more," this one allowed our child, who is in first grade and weighs 22 kilograms, to join. The crew was cheerful and fun, and I thought I would like to use this service again the next time we go to Hawaii. Since the boat can sway quite a bit, I recommend taking motion sickness medication in advance for those who are prone to getting seasick.
親子3人で参加し、3人一緒に飛ぶことができました。「体重27キロ以上」という制限のある会社が多い中、こちらは小1で体重22キロの子供でもO.K.でした。クルーの方が明るくて楽しくて、また次にハワイに行く時もこちらでお願いしたいな、と思いました。ボートがけっこう揺れたりするので、乗り物酔いしやすい方は、あらかじめ酔い止めを飲んでいくことをおすすめします。
I was initially surprised by the facilities that made use of the terrain. There were plenty of slides, and my child and I enjoyed our time sliding down them repeatedly. We gathered for the return bus at 14:45, and the bus departed at 15:00, so I felt a bit busy as I started getting ready to leave and took a shower by 14:30.
地形をいかした施設に初めは驚きました。スライダーが豊富で、親子で何度も繰り返し並んで滑り、楽しい時間を過ごしました。14:45に帰りのバスに集合、15:00にバスが出発するので、14:30にはシャワーを浴びて帰りの支度を始めていたので、ちょっと忙しく感じました。
Watching the dolphins swim in a group, I could see the sand on the ocean floor clearly, and it was very beautiful. They also guided us to a spot where we could see sea turtles well, and the guide made sure to check in with each person to see if they could see everything, which I found impressive for the attention to detail in their service.
イルカが群れで泳ぐ姿を眺めると、海底の砂までよく見えて、とても綺麗でした。ウミガメもよく見えるスポットに案内してくださり、また、ガイドさんがひとりひとりにちゃんと見えたか声をかけていて、きめ細かなサービスに感心しました。
Aloha! Polka,
Thank you for participating in our tour. We are all very happy that you were able to have a rare experience that is hard to come by in Japan, and that it became a wonderful memory for you. We look forward to your participation again when you visit Hawaii.
Mahalo!

I've experienced it in Guam as well, but this time we had a longer time in the air, and the kids really enjoyed the water splash that they had been reluctant about. The crew was humorous, and I highly recommend it.
グアムでも体験していますが、今回は上空での時間も長く、子供達は嫌がっていた水ポチャもとても楽しくて良かったです。
クルーもユーモラスで、オススメです。
All in all a fantastic experience, well organised and the hosts were very engaging and knew thier stuff. Would highly recommend and would also go again or one of there other experiences. Thanks guys.
I was able to fully enjoy the ocean in Honolulu. The weather was great, and we had plenty of time for snorkeling, followed by a fun cruise. I even encountered the turtles I wanted to meet, which made it a wonderful experience. If I have the chance again, I would definitely like to participate.
ホノルルの海を満喫できました。
天気も良く、シュノーケルの時間もたっぷりあり、その後のクルージングも楽しかったです。
出会いたかった亀にも遭遇でき、大変楽しめました。
また機会があれば、是非参加したいです。
I had a great time. The bus was comfortable. However, there weren't enough lifeguards at the pool, and not all the slides were open the entire time. This might be typical in America... but it was still a very enjoyable day.
とても楽しかったです。
バスも快適でした。
ただ プールの監視員の人数が足りておらず、全てのスライダー ずっとは営業していませんでした。これがアメリカならでは・・・かもしれませんが。 でもとても楽しい一日でした。
I was looking forward to it, so I was a bit disappointed. Hanauma Bay was murky, probably due to the high tide, and it wasn't worth the money to pay for it. Compared to Guam and Saipan... it was disappointing. The female instructor... she might need to be that assertive to live in Hawaii, but her condescending tone from start to finish was very unpleasant. I thought it was pointless to get angry halfway through, so I gave up and got used to it. Mr. Dan was surprisingly nice, and I felt he had a good balance. They provided transportation, the equipment was very good, they explained how to use it properly, there was no wasted time, and they took good care of the family who was snorkeling for the first time. We even got to see sea turtles, and they took photos for us. There were more good things than bad, but... I'm done with it.
楽しみにしていたので少しがっかりでした。
ハナウマ湾は大潮だったせいか、濁っていてわざわざお金を払って払う程の海ではありませんでした。グアム、サイパンに比べたら……残念でした。女性インストラクターさんは…ハワイで暮らすにはあれぐらい気が強くないとやっていけないのかもしれませんが、最初から最後まで上目線の話し方でとても不愉快でした。途中から腹を立てても仕方がないと考え、諦めたら慣れました。ダン先生は驚くほど良い人で、バランスがとれてるのだと感じました。送迎あり、機材はとても良く、きちんと使い方を説明してくれ、時間に無駄がなく、初めてのシュノーケリングする家族の面倒も良く見て頂けて、ウミガメにも会えて、写真も撮ってくれて、良いことの方が多いのですが……私はもういいです。
Thank you for visiting with your family of seven, including your eight-year-old child. On that afternoon, we experienced the highest tide of the day, which was over 80 cm higher than the low tide in the morning. This may have made things quite challenging for your family. However, I believe everyone did an amazing job and persevered until the end without any retirements.
Our tours are conducted in the natural environment of the ocean, so just like the weather, there are good days and some that are a bit disappointing. Regardless of the conditions, we prioritize your safety and guide you along the best route possible. Hanauma Bay is truly a beautiful place, and I sincerely hope you will have the opportunity to visit again.
Lastly, I deeply apologize for any discomfort caused by my lack of consideration in addressing your needs. I will strive to be more attentive in the future, ensuring that everyone has a satisfying and enjoyable experience. I am truly sorry for any inconvenience caused. I look forward to the day we can meet again, and I appreciate your continued support. Thank you very much.
この度は8歳のお子様より3世代ファミリー7名様でお越しいただきましてありがとうございます。この日の午後は大潮の一番満ち潮時に重なり、午前の引き潮時と比べれば80cm以上の差があったために、ご家族様には通常より大変だったかもしれません。ですが、一人のリタイアも無く、皆様はとても上手に最後まで頑張ってくださり素晴らしかったと思います。私達のツアーは海という自然が相手のツアーですから、お天気と同じで良い日もあればちょっと残念な状態の日もございます。どんな時でもお客様の安全を第一に、そのコンディションの中でも最適なルートをご案内させていただいております。ハナウマ湾は本当に綺麗な所ですので、機会がありましたら是非また来ていただきたいと切に願っております。
最後になりますが、私の配慮に欠けたお客様への対応により、大変ご不快な思いをさせてしまったこと、大変申し訳なく思っております。今後はもっと気配りのある態度で皆様に接し、皆様に満足し楽しんでいただけるよう更に努力致します。本当に大変申し訳ございませんでした。またいつかお会いできますことをお待ちしておりますので、今後ともどうぞ宜しくお願い致します。ありがとうございました。
We traveled with a 3-year-old child and my grandfather, so I made a reservation for some beach activities. The check-in was along the beach under the blazing sun... we arrived too early and the sunlight was intense! But the pier to the boat! My spirits were lifted!!
I was told to stay outside if I wanted to hear explanations in Japanese, and there was one Japanese crew member, so I felt reassured about the language barrier!
As soon as we set off, we saw small fish and even a sea turtle in the shallow waters, and the sea breeze was refreshing! It was a quick hour, but I was very satisfied.
However, since the time was short and we were on the boat, I thought alcohol might not be necessary. If there was an option for just soft drinks, I would have preferred that!
3歳前の子供と爺と3世代で旅行をしたので海遊びに予約しておきました。
受け付けは炎天下のビーチ沿いで・・・早く着きすぎて日差しが強かった~
でも、船までの桟橋!テンション回復!!
日本語で説明が聞きたい場合は中に入らず外にいて!っと声を掛けられ
クルーに日本人が1人いるので言葉の面でも安心!
出発してから、すぐの浅瀬で小魚がいたりウミガメが見えたり海風も爽やかっ!
あっという間の1時間でしたが大満足です
しかし、時間も短いし船の上ということからアルコールはいらないかも。
ソフトドリンクのみの料金がでるなら、そちらでもよかったと思いました☆彡
The weather was bad, but the sea was beautiful! We were able to see sea turtles, and even beginners could enjoy snorkeling. The driver was cheerful and could speak a little Japanese, which was great. (I gave a tip to the driver.)
天気は悪かったのですが、海は綺麗でした!
ウミガメも見ることができ、初心者でもシュノーケリングも楽しむことができました。
運転手の方も陽気な方で日本語も少しできるのでよかったです。
(運転手の方へチップは渡しました)
