Oahu
I visited Hanauma Bay once in the summer with my sister, but this time my mother joined us for winter at Hanauma Bay! Unlike in summer, the waves were calm!
That morning, the weather was bad, but just as the guide said, it gradually cleared up, making for the best snorkeling experience! They had brought wet suits (for a fee), and based on the guide's recommendation, we decided to rent them! It was really cold, so renting was definitely the right choice! I'm glad we did!
Unfortunately, we didn't see any sea turtles, but since we were the only ones on the morning tour, they took us quite far out! I was exhausted, but it was very beautiful and fun! Having a guide was reassuring, and I highly recommend it! I want to participate again!
ハナウマ湾は一度、夏に姉と訪れたことがありましたが、今回は母も一緒に冬のハナウマ湾へ!!
夏とは違い、波が穏やかでした!
この日は、朝、天気が悪かったのですが、ガイドさんの言っていた通り徐々に晴れてきて、最高のシュノーケリングとなりました!
ウェットスーツ(有料)を持ってきてくれていて、ガイドさんのおすすめで、借りることにしました!ほんと寒かったので、借りるべきです!借りられて良かったです!
あいにくウミガメには会えませんでしたが、この日の午前ツアーが私たちだけ、ということもあってか、かなり沖の方まで連れて行ってくれました!
くたくたになってしまいましたが、とても綺麗で楽しかったです!
ガイドさん付きは安心だしおすすめです! また参加したいです!
Thank you, Miyu, for joining our tour this time.
In winter, the waves at Hanauma Bay are calm, and there are times when we can guide you further out. But it's not always possible to go out, so you were lucky!
Also, since the water temperature is low in winter, I think it was a good decision to rent a wetsuit. It provides warmth, prevents minor cuts and scrapes, and protects you from jellyfish stings if they are present. Additionally, wearing a wetsuit gives you buoyancy, making it safer and preventing sunburn.
I look forward to seeing everyone again when you come back to Hawaii. Next time, I hope to guide you to see the cute turtles of Hanauma Bay!
Thank you. Mahalo!!
Miyuさん、この度は私達ののツアーにご参加いただき、ありがとうございます。
冬のハナウマ湾は波が穏やかになり、沖の方までご案内できる時があります。でも毎回沖まで行ける訳ではないので、ラッキーでしたね!!
また冬の水温は低いですから、ウェットスーツは借りていただいて正解だったと思いますよ。保温はもちろん、マイナーな切り傷、擦り傷も防げますし、もしもクラゲがいる時にもさされません。また、ウェットスーツを着ていただくと浮力がつきますので安全ですし、日焼けもしません。
またハワイにお越しの際には皆様にお会いできますことを楽しみにしています。次回は可愛いハナウマベイの亀さんをご案内できればと思っています!!
ありがとうございました。Mahalo!!
I attended the Three Star Lobster and Steak Dinner Cruise and I must say I was amazed at the customer service provided. Being on board with 1,000 passengers, the waiters and staffs did an amazing job with serving each guest on time. Our waitress was a doll, I believe Larissa is her name. The view of the sunset, and Diamond Head was breath taking. This tour is a must if you want to experience Paradise away from the city.
Saw everything and had a FABULOUS tour bus driver that explained everything to us as we went and we learned so much about Hawaii and the entire area.... thoroughly enjoyed it!
Be careful when selecting which type of meal you like because family members don't get to sit together if you eat something different. Otherwise, it was a wonderful time!
十分楽しかった。元々食事を期待しての参加では無く、ロブスターやヒレ肉は当然無しのバフェでしたが十分食事を楽しめた。5人家族、子供達も全員成人の構成です。
スタッフは一生懸命楽しませてくれたし、男性歌手はまずまずのエンタテイナーです。
たまたまですが、雲の全くない日で海に落ちる夕日は最高。狙ったとおり金曜の晩のヒルトンの花火も盛り上がりました。
毎年訪れるハワイでの10年ぶりのサンセットディナークルーズでしたが、なかなかバカにしたものではありません。おすすめします。
この度は私共のクルーズにご参加頂き、誠に有難うございます。
サンセットや花火をお楽しみ頂けました様で大変嬉しく思います。
綺麗なサンセットのお写真も掲載して頂き有難うございました。
皆様のまたのお越しをスタッフ一同お待ち申し上げております。

The Pearl Harbor Heroes Adventure Tour brings a key pages from the 20th Century history to life. It is a excellent tour for people who have deep interest in history and those whose only brush with history is at the movies. The tour covers all the key points of interest at Pearl Harbor including the USS Arizona, USS Missouri, Pacific Aviation Museum and the USS Bowfin. Although it is a full day you will not have time to view all the sites in detail. One recommendation, tour the USS Bowfin before you venture in to the museum as you will not have time to do both. Overall this was money well spent and will probably do it again next time I visit Hawaii.
I experienced parasailing for the first time, and I was very moved to see the scenery of Honolulu from the ocean side while flying!! I want to do it again when I go back.
パラセーリング初めて体験しましたが、ホノルルの景色を海側から飛びながら見れてとても感動しました!!また行ったらやりたいです。
The staff on this cruise were very respectful and down to earth. They wanted to make sure you were comfortable at every moment. I would highly recommend this cruise to anyone, Any age. When we decide to visit Hawaii again in a few years this be on our to do list. I cant remember their names, But the man that played the guitar while we were on the sand bar was awesome. Def a people person with a big heart.
It was absolutely amazing.
The breeze from the boat felt great!
It was my first time parasailing, but I really enjoyed it.
It should definitely be an extreme experience.
とにかく最高でした。
船の風が気持ちよかった!
初めてのパラセーリングだったけど楽しめました。
エキストリームにすべきです。
We had a lovely time. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Our dinner was execelent. The host & entertainment made for a fun evening.
My girlfriend and I had a fabulous trip going out to turtle Canyon snorkel and then sailing afterwards, the crew was very professional and courteous
When I looked in the direction I was told, I caught a glimpse of the tail fin. Next, I saw a spout of water and a glimpse of its back. I hope to see it jump someday.
いたよー、と言われた方向を見ると、尾びれがちらりと見えました。次は、プシューッという潮吹きと背中がちらりと見えました。いつかジャンプする姿を見たいものです。。
Thank you very much for participating in our cruise. On certain days, you can observe active whales. We hope you will come back to search for those whales again. All of our staff are looking forward to your visit.

この度は私共のクルーズにご参加頂き、誠に有難うございました。
日によってはアクティブなクジラを観測する事ができます。
是非またそんなクジラを探しにいらして下さい。
スタッフ一同お待ち申し上げております。

EXcellent history but talk went on too long. Everything in realy good condition and being preserved by hard working volunteers.
This is a wonderful experience in HAWAII. My mum was very affair before. She thought the door off helicopter is not safe. But when she have try. She said it's a wonder time in her life.
Since the weather on the day of participation didn't seem good, I requested a change on-site, and they kindly agreed. As soon as we set sail that day, dolphins appeared, and it was a lot of fun. When I mentioned that I wasn't a strong swimmer, they were considerate and took care of me. I felt reassured.
It was clear that all the staff were making an effort to entertain the participants. We were able to see both dolphins and turtles!
Thank you very much!
参加日の天気が良くなさそうだったので現地で変更をお願いしましたら快諾していただきました。
当日は出航してすぐにイルカも姿を現し、とても楽しかったです。
泳ぎが得意ではないことを申告したら気を遣っていただき対応してくださいました。
安心感があります。
スタッフみなさんが参加者を楽しませてくれるよう努力されてるのが伝わってきました。
イルカも亀も見れました!
本当にありがとうございました!
We're glad you enjoyed it. We look forward to your next participation.
お楽しみ頂けて何よりです。またのご参加をお待ちしております。
This is the second time for us but we had family guests who had not been before. Last time we took the tour, our guide was excellent, informative, fun. This time we were not as happy with the guide. The first thing he did was tell us about himself and he played football. That took 10 min. He went extensively into the history of the island but did not touch on some of the things that were current such as the Hawaiian housing we drove through, no gangs. He was very monotone. I know he said he had been doing this for 30 years but we paid over $600. and he was boring and not as informative as he could be

Aloha. We are very humbled and grateful that you chose E Noa Tours to help introduce your friends to Oahu. Thank you for taking the time to post a review. Having said that, however, we are extremely disappointed to hear that the tour guide did not meet your expectations. E Noa Tours is proud of each and every one of its drivers and tour guides. And they, in turn, are proud to talk about their island home. Our guests always return with glowing reviews about their tour guides, who normally are entertaining and informative. It sounds like the tour guide who took care of you that day, needs a pep talk from our management team. Please accept our apologies for your negative experience. We hope that your friends still had fun on the tour and walked away with fabulous photos. Warmest aloha to you.
Great time! Nice, comfortable ride out with great weather. Crew was very accommodating to our little group. We had someone with special needs, and they worked very hard to make her feel safe, comfortable and happy. !000 foot ride, just perfect! Wonderful memories forever!
The crew were very pleasant and helpful, somewhat informative. Drinks were available to anyone who wanted them that early in the morning, and there were many who did. Unfortunately,only a few tails sighted. Boat/captain only went about 3 miles out, where every other boat had gone to whale watch - and no one had any luck. I'm guessing a combination of too many boats, too much noise, and the slight delay in migration everyone talked about b/c of el Nino.
Thank you very much for your help this time!
Fortunately, the weather was clear, the water depth was shallow, and it became a great memory!
I would love to go again during the full moon's high tide...
Thank you to everyone who guided us so enjoyably!
今回は大変お世話になりました!
運良く快晴で、水深も浅く、いい思い出になりました!
満月の満ち潮のときに、また行ってみたいものです…。
楽しくガイドしてくださった皆様ありがとうございました!
My husband and I really enjoyed this cruise. The food was excellent and the sunset was beautiful. I just wish it could have been longer.
The staff was polite, and the view was amazing. I got seasick, but I appreciate the good service I received. I would like to use this service again.
スタッフも丁寧だし、眺めも最高でした。
舟酔いしたけど、良い対応してもらい感謝です。
また利用したいと思いました。
This was a great excursion. Saw lots of whales, food was great, fun activities, great crew.
3 whales about 100 yards away. I wish I could post some whale pictures.
I participated in a morning tour with a friend. The sandbar we aimed for had water levels up to about knee height since it was in the morning. I was impressed that the guide took photos for us without other people in the background.
As for snorkeling, we followed a designated course back and forth. There were many people, and it was quite crowded, so those with snorkeling experience might want to manage their expectations. Also, the shuttle bus had strong air conditioning, so I recommend wearing a hoodie or something similar.
午前中に終わるツアーに友人と2人で参加しました。
目的のサンドバーは午前中ということもあり、膝上くらいまで水位がありました。ガイドさんが他の人が写らないように写真を撮ってくださったのが印象的でした。
シュノーケルについては、決められたコースを往復しました。人が多く、行列状態で他の人とぶつかったりもするので、シュノーケル経験のある方はあまり期待しない方がいいと思います。
あと、送迎バスが結構冷房が効いてて寒かったのでパーカー等羽織って行く方がいいと思います。
Unlike the dolphin snorkeling activity from the day before yesterday, I was surprised to participate in this super beginner-friendly marine experience. The sandbar, just a few centimeters deep, was beautiful and perfect for taking photos. However, this tour, which ends in the morning, was a bit lacking in snorkeling. It felt like a guided exploration of the coral edges with a vibe similar to an elementary school camp. If you choose a plan that includes lunch, it seems there’s also some free snorkeling time at a different location. While it's appealing to return to Waikiki by noon, if you're focused on snorkeling, I recommend opting for the lunch barbecue option.
前々日のイルカのシュノーケリングのアクティビティと違い、超初心者用のマリン体験にびっくりしながら参加。膝上数センチのサンドバーは綺麗で写真を撮るには最高。ただし、午前中で終わるこのツアーは、シュノーケリングが、今ひとつ。まるで小学生の林間学校的なガイドの引率でサンゴの縁を探索するが、今ひとつ。昼食付きのプランだと、もう少し違う場所で自由なシュノーケリングの時間もあるらしい。昼にはワイキキに帰られるのは魅力だが、シュノーケリング重視で参加するなら、昼のバーベキュー付きをお勧めする。
We had a great day along with our 2 year old daughter
Saw whales quite a few times along with some calves
Even the boat ride was great to get in the views
Taking a camera is a must
It's a shame that I couldn't experience the beach in its full glory, perhaps due to the timing. On the other hand, it was incredibly lucky to see sea turtles. I want to participate again next time! It was fun.
本当は砂浜が浮き出ててる状態で体験出来なかったのが残念、時期的に不可能だったから?
その代りにウミガメが見れたのが最高にラッキーでした。次の機会にもう一度
参加したい!、楽しかった
The ride was beautiful.. The best way to know all the island..
I absolutely wanted to go to the island of heaven, and I signed up for this angelic sea. I'm glad we could make a reservation here for the same place we wanted to visit. I intended to speak in English, but the staff were so good at Japanese that before I knew it, I was speaking in Japanese. The local staff were very friendly, and it was a lot of fun. It was a tour that made me want to go again.
絶対行きたかった、天国の島??? がいっぱいで こちらの天使の海に申し込みしました。
行きたい場所は同じでこちらで予約が取れてよかったです。
英語でお話しているつもりがスタッフの方が日本語がとてもお上手で気づいたら日本語を話していました。
とってもフレンドリーな現地スタッフの皆さんでとても楽しかったです。
また行きたいと思わせてくれるツアーでした。
I participated with the mindset that it was understandable not to see whales since they are wild creatures, but I was able to confirm several spouts and tails from a distance. What excited me the most was when a pod of dolphins appeared and swam alongside the boat for a long time. I was sitting at the best position at the bow, watching them up close! The staff members were also so engrossed in dolphin watching that they set their work aside—such a laid-back vibe in tropical Hawaii (laughs). I wonder if this is a really rare occurrence.
It felt like the dolphins and whales were welcoming me to Hawaii, and it made me feel so happy.
The Japanese guide's Japanese was quite questionable, though (laughs). At the hotel and restaurants, everyone spoke fluent Japanese, so it stood out even more (laughs). It might not have much meaning if the explanation isn't in Japanese. But I was very satisfied, so I give it ★5!
自然の生き物なのでクジラに会えなくても仕方ないと心づもりして参加しましたが、
遠目とはいえ、何度も潮吹きや尾びれを確認できました。
何といっても興奮したのはイルカの群れが現れ、ずっと船と並走してくれたこと。
ベストポジションの船首に座っていたので、かぶりつきで眺めていました~~
スタッフの人たちもお仕事そっちのけでイルカウォッチングしてて
さすがおおらかな南国ハワイ(笑)もしかしてすごく珍しいことなんでしょうか。
ハワイにようこそ!ってイルカやクジラたちに歓迎してもらったようで、
幸せな気分になりました。
日本語ガイドさんの日本語はかなり怪しかったですけどね(笑)
ホテルでもレストランでもみなさん流暢な日本語を駆使されるので
際立つ怪しさ(笑)解説が日本語でないとあまり意味がないかな。
でも大満足でしたので★5つ!
