It was a refreshing experience that you can't have anywhere else! The two staff members also entertained us, making it a very enjoyable time!

他にはできない体験で爽快感がありました！スタッフのおふたりも楽しませてくれてとても楽しい時間になりました！

It was a 2-hour course, but the scenery was beautiful, and it had a sense of adventure, which made it very enjoyable. The staff provided explanations in English and were attentive to details like taking photos. I would like to participate again if I have the chance.

2時間のコースですが、景色が綺麗で、アドベンチャー感があり、十分楽しめました。スタッフの説明は英語でしたが、写真など細かに対応してくれました。機会があったらまた参加したい。

It was an honor and a privilege to experience the tour of Pearl Harbor, USS Arizona, and USS Missouri. Much of the other areas seen were just site seeing. Honolulu was fine but I would like to have seen less of Honolulu and more of Pearl Harbor.

Saw no whales this day but all not lost. We encountered a pod of dolphins on the way back to the dock. They played with us for awhile circling the boat and darting away. That made up for the lack of whales!

We really had a good time. As the person in the very front, I got pretty wet, but the water was not cold at all. It was awesome seeing Waikiki from a surfer’s perspective.

The upbeat background music was blasting as we sped out to sea on a rocking boat, wearing safety jackets, and before we knew it, we took off into the sky. It felt like flying, and the view was amazing! But in the next moment, I wanted to return quickly. The time felt long.

ノリの良いBGMが爆音でかかっていてハイスピードで沖に出て揺れの激しい船内でセーフジャケット着用してあっという間に空へ飛び立ちました。空を飛んでいるみたいで景色も最高でした！
でも次の瞬間早く戻りたい。時間が長く感じました。

I went despite the uncertainty of whether it would rain or not. When I arrived at the site, I was told, "We can cancel since we don't know if it will rain," which made me feel relieved. Of course, since I saw a bit of sunshine, I decided to go. In the beginning, it was clear, and I was able to fully enjoy the great outdoors. However, in the end, we were hit by a heavy downpour, and I got soaked, so I recommend bringing a change of clothes. If the weather looks questionable, it's a good idea to buy a poncho at the shop. Everything was in English, but it was a very meaningful experience. The rain also turned out to be a good experience.

雨が降るか降らないかの中行きました。
現地に到着した時に、「雨が降るかわからないのでキャンセル可能です。」とも言われたので安心でした。
もちろん、晴れ間が少し見えたので、行きました。序盤は無事晴れ、大自然を満喫できました。最後は大雨に見舞われ、びちょびちょになったので、着替えを持ってくことをお勧めします。天候が怪しい時は売店でポンチョを購入しておくのがお勧めです。
すべて、英語のガイドですが、とても有意義な体験ができました。雨も良い経験となりました。

It was pouring rain, but the staff really got us excited and we had a great time. Since it was off-road, the rain might have actually made it more intense and enjoyable.

大雨の中でしたが、スタッフも盛り上げて頂いて楽しかったです。オフロードなので、雨でむしろ激しくなって良かったかもしれません。

This time, I participated in a dolphin watching and snorkeling tour in Hawaii for the first time. We were incredibly lucky to encounter a pod of spinner dolphins just 15 minutes after departure. There were quite a few dolphins swimming alongside and in front of the boat for a long time, and we even got to see them jumping. During snorkeling, I was able to swim very close to a green sea turtle.

On the way back, we were fortunate enough to see seven humpback whales at the same time, making it a miraculous day, and I had a truly satisfying experience. We were lucky to encounter the dolphins so quickly, but for those who don't get to see them, the boat has to circle around, and after snorkeling, it can get chilly, so I felt that motion sickness medication and cold weather precautions are necessary.

Additionally, there was a staff member who spoke Japanese, which allowed us to enjoy the experience even though we couldn't speak English.

今回、初めてのハワイでイルカウォッチングとシュノーケリングのツアーに参加させていただきました。
運がすごくよかったのが、出航15分でハシナガイルカの群に遭遇でき、かなりの数のイルカがとても長い時間、船の前や横を泳いでいて、ジャンプすら姿も見れ、シュノーケリングの際もアオウミガメのすぐ近くで泳げました。
帰りにザトウクジラも同時に7頭見れるという奇跡的な日だったので、すごく満足のできる体験をすることができました。
自分たちは、イルカもすぐ遭遇できたのでラッキーだったのですが、なかなかイルカに遭遇できないと船で色々回らなければいけず、シュノーケリングのあとは、身体も冷えるので酔い止めと寒さ対策は必要だと感じました。
また、スタッフの方の日本語ができる方がいたので、英語ができない自分たちでも楽しむことができました。

I had always dreamed of having my wedding at the beautiful Kahala! One of the reasons for this was the Dolphin Lagoon. While there are other places in Japan and Hawaii where you can interact with dolphins, it meant a lot to me to connect with the dolphins at Kahala, so I was very satisfied.

Due to a mistake in my arrangements, I ended up participating alone, but before the quest, I enjoyed a morning buffet at the Plumeria House and took a lovely walk along the beautiful beach, creating very elegant and wonderful memories.

I spent about two hours exploring the lagoon, but there were no other Japanese people there. Everyone else was participating in the tour that involved entering the lagoon, but I felt that the mini quest was enough for me! It seemed that as long as you were dressed appropriately for getting wet, you didn't necessarily have to wear a swimsuit.

Since everything was in English, having some English skills would help you learn a lot about the dolphins, but even with none, I managed to get by.

結婚式をあげたかったほどの、憧れのカハラ！
その理由のひとつにドルフィンラグーンがある事でした◎
国内でもハワイでも、イルカに触れ合える場所は他にもありますが、カハラのイルカと触れ合うことに私には意味があったので大満足。
私の手配ミスで一人での参加になりましたが、クエストの前にプルメリアハウスでモーニングビュッフェを堪能し、美しいビーチを散歩してと、とても優雅で素敵な思い出になりました。
２時間ほどラグーンを見学していましたが、日本人はいませんでした。皆さん全員ラグーンに入水するツアーに参加されていましたが、私にはミニクエストで十分だと感じました！こちらは濡れても良い格好であれば、水着でなくても大丈夫そうでした。
英語オンリーなので英語力はあった方がイルカの話もたくさん教えてもらえますが、皆無でもなんとかはなりました＾＾;

Although we couldn't see the main attraction, the whale, I was overall satisfied. The view of Diamond Head from the boat was very beautiful! Also, the explanations provided by the staff were interesting, and the banana cake they handed out was really delicious!

肝心の鯨は見れませんでしたが、全体的には満足でした。船から見えるダイヤモンドヘッドはとっても綺麗でした！また、スタッフさんがしてくださる説明も面白く、配られるバナナケーキもとっても美味しかったです！

It was a wonderful experience to see mother and baby whales multiple times! My 3-year-old child enjoyed it very much. The crew only speaks English, but they use pictures for explanations and simplify their language (like using words such as "baby") when talking to us, so we could understand somewhat. Additionally, the menu and explanation sheet on the table, as well as the announcements and explanations, are available in Japanese. When there was an announcement about the whales appearing, everyone moved quickly, so even if I couldn't catch everything, I understood what was happening, haha.

The banana bread was very delicious! Tea, coffee, and water are free, while alcohol and juice are available for a fee. They also provide coloring books and workbooks for toddlers.

The restroom on the boat is spacious enough for wheelchair access, so it was no problem for parents to assist their toddlers inside. I had a preconceived notion that a boat restroom might be dirty like a public restroom, but it turned out to be a stylish and clean restroom with nice tile walls.

親子の鯨を何度も見ることができて、とてもいい体験でした！3歳の子供もとても楽しんでいました。
クルーは英語しか話しませんが、写真を使った解説や、こちらに向けて話す時は簡単な英語（babyなど）にしてくれるのでなんとなくわかります。また、テーブルに置いてあるメニュー表兼説明書と、放送での注意説明や解説は日本語もあります。あと鯨が現れたアナウンスがあった時はみんながワッと移動するので聞き取れなくてもわかります笑
バナナブレッドがとても美味しかったです！紅茶、コーヒー、水はフリーで、アルコール・ジュースは有料です。
幼児向けに塗り絵やワークブックを渡してくれます。
船内にあるトイレは車椅子でも入れるように広いので、親が入って幼児の介助をするのも問題ありませんでした。船のトイレというと公衆トイレみたいに汚いかなとなんとなく思っていましたが、壁のタイルがおしゃれな綺麗なトイレでした。

This was an awesome tour! Our tour guides were amazing and shared some incredible stories about the ranch, the movies and the island itself.

My wife and I, along with our daughter and her husband and our grandchild, participated in the event. We checked the tide schedule in advance and joined, but it wasn't as low tide as we expected. As a result, our grandchild stayed with us on the boat. However, our daughter and her husband enjoyed paddleboarding and kayaking. Additionally, during snorkeling, we were able to admire various fish along with the coral reefs. We are grateful for the kind assistance from the staff.

私たち老夫婦は、娘夫婦と孫と参加しました。事前に干潮の日時を調べて参加しましたが、思ったほどの干潮ではありませんでした。よって、孫は船内に私たちと待機でした。しかし、娘夫婦はSUPやカヤックを堪能しました。また、スノーケリングでは、サンゴ礁とともに様々な魚を鑑賞することができました。スタッフの皆さんの優しいご対応に感謝します。

We loved everything about the this tour. We went in the morning, and the water was almost waist deep but it didn’t bother us. We got to see many fish by snorkeling, did standup paddle boarding, kayaking, and listened to the amazing musicians perform onboard. The crew were very kind, helpful and entertaining. They made it extra fun. My husband and I had a great time and would gladly do it again, only with KBOS. Highly recommend going with this crew.

My husband and I had a wonderful first trip with this company and first excursion together. All the staff were very friendly and accommodating. There was live music and the atmosphere was great. We would definitely recommend this for anyone else looking for something fun to do while you’re staying in Hawaii.

Everything was smooth sailing from our pick up at the Hyatt to being delivered back to the Hyatt after. Boarding was quick and easy. We had a member with mobility issues and even though the boat was rocking a little bit while going through the buffet she made it safely back to her seat with all her food still on the plate. Our waiter was Ryan and he was great. Very efficient and he loves to dance. He led us on a music train around the room, then got up and danced on the stage.
Food was decent, what I will say is it is typical buffet food. Nothing stood out as a WOW. The entertainment was good and lively. Also typical Polynesian dances if you've been to a Luau. Fireworks at the end of the night were spectacular and watching them from the water was a highlight.

Our boat captain was terrific, we were able to see two species of whales, many dolphins 3 turtles from the boat and two more snorkeling. Not sure how it could have been any better. Best thing we did in Hawaii

The buggy experience is wonderful. You can enjoy it even if you don't know the movie. A person who speaks Japanese will explain things before check-in after you arrive. However, once the buggy experience starts, it will be in English only. But you can generally understand it. The buggy doesn't go for a full two hours without stopping; it stops at power spots along the way. Also, the bus driver for the shuttle was very lively and provided guidance throughout the drive.

バギー体験は素晴らしいです。映画を知らなくても楽しめます。日本語を喋れる人は到着後チェックイン前に説明をしてくれます。しかし、バギー体験が始まると英語のみになります。でも、大体わかります。バギーも2時間ぶっ通しではなく、パワースポットごとに停止します。
あと、送迎のバスの運転手がノリが良くて終始運転しながらガイドしてました。

We will take a boat to the sea at Waikiki, and during that time, we can see Diamond Head and the streets of Waikiki. There aren't many fish in the waters of Waikiki, but there are a lot of fish around the sunken ship, which is very interesting. When you take photos, they come out a bit blue and are somewhat hard to see, but if you actually see it, you can tell that the sea is beautiful. The interior of the ship is a bit cold. However, it was truly a wonderful experience, and I don't think I'll have such an experience again.

船でワイキキの海に行きますが、その間にダイヤモンドヘッドやワイキキの街並みを見ることができます。ワイキキの海の中はあまり魚はいないですが、沈没船の周りには多くの魚がおり、非常に面白いです。写真を撮ると青みがかかり、少し見にくいですが、実際に見れば美しい海だと言うことがわかります。艦内は少し寒いです。ただ、本当に素晴らしい体験でしたし、こんな経験は2度とできないでしょう。

I wasn't confident in my swimming skills, but since we wore life jackets, there were no problems, and the guides were always watching over us. The guides also spoke a little Japanese. We brought waterproof cases for our smartphones and filmed scenes of us swimming with the fish. We left our belongings on the chairs inside the boat. There was always someone watching over us inside the boat, and I heard there are security cameras as well.

I was able to see sea turtles from the boat twice! It felt strange to be away from land yet in shallow water. It was truly amazing.

I'm grateful to the guides as well. At the end, I gave a tip to the person who was always singing for us. Thank you very much! 😊

泳ぎに自信が無かったですが、ライフガードを着用するので問題ないですし、常にガイドさんが見張ってくれます。そのガイドさんたちも日本語を少し喋ってくれます。私たちはスマホ用防水ケースを持っていき、魚と泳ぐシーンを動画で撮影しました。荷物は、船内の椅子に置いてました。船内は常に誰かが見張ってくれますし、防犯カメラもあるそうです。
ウミガメは船内から2度見ることができました！陸から離れているのに浅瀬という不思議な感覚になりました。ほんとに最高でした。
ガイドさんにも感謝です。最後は常に歌ってくれていた方にチップをお渡ししました。
ありがとうございました😊

I was lucky enough to see whales, dolphins, and turtles all in one trip. We saw five whales, 15 dolphins, one turtle in the sea, and three on land. I'm not very good at snorkeling, so I watched the dolphins from above the water, and my snorkeling experience was only about 15 minutes, but I was very satisfied. However, the boat was really rocky, and since I tend to get seasick, I took motion sickness medication the night before and in the morning, which helped me manage. Unfortunately, another group of Japanese tourists was vomiting the whole time. Also, the boat ride and the bus back were cold after snorkeling, so it's essential to have something to wear.

運が良かったのが、クジラ・イルカ・カメを全部見ることができました。
クジラは５頭、イルカは15頭、カメは海で１匹、陸で３匹でした。
シュノーケルはあまり得意はないので、イルカは海の上から見て、シュノーケルも15分程度の体験でしたが、非常に満足しました。
ただ、船の揺れはすごく、自分はかなり船酔いするタイプなので、前日の夜と当日の朝に酔い止めを飲んでなんとか平気でしたが、もう一組の日本人はずっと吐いてました。
また、シュノーケル後の船と帰りのバスは寒いので、羽織るものは必須です。

Very fun and staff were awesome and very helpful !

The fish population was denser than at Hanauma Bay, and I even encountered a sea turtle while paddleboarding. The songs on the boat were wonderful!

For lunch, it was just a piece of ham and a piece of cheese sandwiched between two slices of bread, which left me thinking, "Really... is this lunch?" If they had made it a bit more luxurious, it would have balanced out the overall experience, but this part felt too cost-cutting and might lower the impression of the whole trip.

ハナウマベイよりは魚影が濃く、サップ中にウミガメにも会えました。
船上の歌も素敵でした！

ランチはパンにハム1枚とチーズ1枚挟んだだけの物で、「えぇ、、これがランチ？」と言う印象。もう少しだけ豪華にすれば総合的にバランスが取れるのに、ここだけコスト抑え過ぎてて全体の印象が落ちてしまいそうです。

Show was great! Chief and his family put so much positive energy into the whole event! Food was very good!

My granddaughter and I participated in the Dolphin Quest excursion. The staff was very educated. They gave us a lot of information on those amazing creatures.

While being blown by the pleasant winds of Hawaii, we went whale watching. Since it was a large boat, I didn't feel much rocking. Upon boarding, we had the opportunity for a commemorative photo, which we could purchase if we liked. The photo was so lovely that I decided to buy it as a memory of this stay. Additionally, we could see the blue ocean of Hawaii and Diamond Head from the boat, and it felt great to be swayed by the boat while listening to Hawaiian music. This time, we were able to see a mother and her calf whale.

ハワイの心地いい風に吹かれながら鯨探しにいきます。大きな船なのであまり揺れも感じませんでした。乗船時には記念撮影をしていただき、気に入れば購入することができます。素敵な写真だったため今回の滞在の思い出に購入させてもらいました。また、船からハワイの青い海とダイヤモンドヘッドを見渡すことができ、ハワイアンミュージックを聴きながら船に揺られるのもの心地が良かったです。今回は親子のくじらを見ることができました。

Enjoy the quick boat ride the helpful staffs and the sandbar

The underwater scenery with sunken ships and airplane wrecks was amazing. We saw a lot of fish as well. However, my wife seemed to be struggling with seasickness.

沈没船や飛行機の残骸など、海の中は凄かった。たくさんの魚もみられた。　
ただ、妻は船酔いで辛そうでした。

In February, my family of five had an experience. It was cloudy and we encountered a downpour along the way, but that was actually nice. The rain added to the atmosphere and made it a wonderful experience. It became an unforgettable memory. In February, it can be cold if you go in short sleeves, so I think it's better to prepare a light jacket. Don't forget to bring a change of clothes. There are lockers where you can use a credit card, so you can store your things there. I was quite hesitant because it was expensive, but it became the best memory of this trip to Hawaii.

２月に家族5人で体験しました。曇っていて途中スコールになりましたが、それはそれで良かったです。スコールも雰囲気がでて素敵な体験でした。忘れられない思い出になりました。２月は半袖で行くと寒い事もあるので薄い上着を用意した方が良いと思います。着替えも忘れずに持って行って下さい。クレジットカードが使えるロッカーがあるのでそこに入れておけます。
結構高額で悩みましたが今回のハワイ旅行の1番の思い出になりました。
