Even elementary school students who found just Waikiki Beach and shopping insufficient were satisfied to go to the bottom of the sea in a real submarine. It's conveniently located for boarding, and it was great to participate as it also healed our tired bodies.
ワイキキビーチやショッピングだけでは物足りない小学生も、本物の潜水艦で海の底に行けたのには満足げでした。便利な場所から乗船できるし、疲れた身体も癒されて、参加して良かったです。

This was my first experience on a submarine, and the tour is designed in such a way that even those who can't scuba dive or snorkel can fully appreciate the beauty and mystery of the underwater world. It starts off slowly and gradually, but right after submerging, the view of the shimmering water surface from below is stunningly beautiful. At times, it feels so mystical that you might even question whether you're underwater or in the sky, with colorful fish that seem to be flying.
There are also areas where boats and planes serve as artificial reefs, and you can see a particularly wide variety of fish there. While I didn't see any sharks, I was able to spot sea turtles quite well. The guide's Japanese was entertaining, and the pamphlet provided for following along with the live commentary was clear and well-made.
One thing to note is that the shuttle ride to board the submarine can make you feel seasick, so if you're worried about that, it's a good idea to bring motion sickness medication. Also, the air conditioning inside the submarine is very effective (especially at your feet), so I recommend using the restroom before boarding and wearing pants instead of shorts.
潜水艦は初めてでしたが、スキューバやシュノーケルが出来ない人でも海の中の美しさや神秘さまでもが充分に伝わるツアーになっていますよ。段階的にゆっくりと始まるのですが、沈んだ直後に海中から見える水面がきらきらと美しく、途中ここは海なのか空なのか錯覚するくらいに神秘的で、色とりどりの魚たちがまるで空を飛んでいるようにも感じる時が何度もありました。
船や飛行機が人工のサンゴ礁の変わりになっているところもあり、そこでは特にたくさんの種類の魚たちが見ることが出来ます。サメは見られませんでしたが海亀もしっかりと見ることが出来ました。ガイドの方の日本語がおもしろおかしく、ライブ中継を聞きながら確認できるように配られたパンプレットもわかりやすくよく出来ていました。注意点としては、潜水艦に乗り込むまでのシャトルで船酔いしそうになるので心配な方は酔い止めを用意したほうがいいことと、潜水艦内の冷房が大変よく利いている(特に足元)ので、潜水艦乗船前のシャトルではトイレは済ませ短パンではなくズボンを履いていったほうがいいと思います。

The event I was most looking forward to this time was wonderful. The weather was great, and within 20-30 minutes of boarding, we encountered a mother and baby whale. I thought we might not be able to see them clearly due to regulations that prevent us from staying in one spot for more than 30 minutes and from getting within 100 meters of the whales. However, we were fortunate enough to witness the baby whale unexpectedly approaching the boat, allowing us to see them up close. After parting from this mother and baby, we encountered whales a few more times, but we quickly lost sight of them and couldn't observe them for as long as we did at first. I now think that meeting this mother and baby was a very lucky experience. I was worried about seasickness, but I was able to enjoy the cruise without any major turbulence. Additionally, they provide medication for those who are concerned. It became a very nice memory.
今回一番楽しみにしていたイベント、お天気も良く乗船20-30分で早くもクジラの親子に出会えました。法律によりクジラの居場所がわかっても30分以上一箇所に居続けられないこと、クジラから半径100m以内に近づけないこと等あって、そんなにはっきり見れないのかなと思っていましたが、子クジラが思わず船に近寄ってくる場面に遭遇し間近で観ることができました。この親子と別れてからも何度かクジラには遭遇しましたが、すぐに見失ってしまい最初ほど長い間観察できませんでした。親子との出会いはとても幸運なことだったのかもと今は思っています。船酔いを心配してましたが特に大揺れすることなくクルージングを楽しめました。また、心配な方には薬も配布してくださいます。とてもいい思い出になりました。

I think it can be enjoyed by anyone, regardless of age. It's safe, and the explanations and guidance are provided in a thorough manner, so I think it's better to have a Japanese guide. The interior of the ship was not as cramped as I had imagined, and I didn't feel concerned about my neighbors. I was able to see rays swimming gracefully and many turtles in the relaxed sea. As a note, since there are steep stairs to go up and down, it's advisable for women to wear pants. If you are prone to seasickness, it's definitely better to take motion sickness medication.
年齢問わず誰にでも楽しめると思います。安全ですし。説明や案内も丁寧にしてくれくるので日本語ガイドの時がいいと思います。艦内は思っていたよりも狭くなく、隣が気になるような事はありませんでした。エイが優雅に泳いでいたり亀が沢山いたりゆったりとした海の中を見る事ができました。注意事項としては急な階段を上り下りなので女性はズボン着用が望ましいです。船酔いする方は酔い止めは必ず飲まれたほうがいいですよ。

You won't find a pool like this in Japan! The slides and half-pipes that drop from the height of a seven-story building are thrilling and so much fun! However, it can hurt your back from sliding, so I think wearing a rash guard would be a good idea. It was an incredibly fun place where I screamed a lot. Although I didn't have much time to stay, it wasn't crowded, so I was able to experience all the attractions, which I highly recommend.

I participated with my mother on February 20. We opted out of the shuttle service, but it was about $10 by taxi from Waikiki. I was worried about whether we would be able to see anything, but we were able to see mother and baby whales. We didn't see the big jumps like you often see in photos, but we were able to see the cute little whale swimming behind its mother. It was completely unpredictable where we would see them from, but luckily we were able to see them from the side where we were having our meal. There were also lei-making, ukulele, and hula lessons included, and the staff were all very bright and friendly, which made it a lot of fun. We had a wonderful time and were very satisfied!!

I participated with my 8-year-old and 10-year-old daughters and my husband. Since it was their first experience, my daughters said they were scared at first. However, my 10-year-old had a lot of fun once it started. My 8-year-old had a tense expression until the end and said, "I don't want to do this anymore!" As for me, I had done this about 15 years ago, and back then, when riding with two people, the person in the back had to spread their legs wide, which was very embarrassing for me. This time, since we rode like on a two-person swing, I didn't have to spread my legs and was able to enjoy a conversation while looking at my children's faces. Because it was a two-person ride, those who participated alone were riding with strangers. There was a white boy and a Japanese girl riding together, but they were silent. I think it would be fine for those who are okay with that...

We participated as a family of four. The bus arrived on time, and the staff was friendly. We arrived a bit too early and waited for about 20 minutes in front of the gate. It's better to arrive early than to be late. The weather was nice, but the temperature was low, and it was a bit chilly. The kids wrapped themselves in towels after getting out of the pool and sat in the sun. This time of year might be a bit tough? My 8-year-old daughter couldn't get in the pool because she felt cold after a while. As for the adults, we had a great time and tried all the thrill rides. The Shaka was thrilling and fun; we tried it multiple times. Most of the rides are thrill rides, so it might be irresistible for those who love them! There are also slides and pools for kids, so they can enjoy themselves too. My 10-year-old daughter tried all the thrill rides with me. I want to go again during a hotter season next time!

I tried surfing for the first time, and amazingly, I was able to stand up on my first attempt! We practiced very easily on land at first, but the staff who spoke Japanese explained everything clearly, so I understood well. I participated in a private lesson, and the instructor read the good waves and gave me encouragement, allowing me to ride waves that I wouldn't have been able to manage on my own! The rainbow over the waves is a must-see☆ There are quite a few rocks hidden under the waves, so be careful of injuries. Also, my feet got scraped by the board and it hurt. I highly recommend private lessons!

I went to Hawaii for my wedding and attended with both families. It was my first time in Hawaii, and just seeing it from the ocean was quite something. The sea is beautiful too! However, it was disappointing that I didn't see any whales at all... They had various events on the boat, like ukulele lessons, hula dancing, and lei-making classes, so it kept us entertained even if we couldn't see the whales! The food was also pretty good.
But personally, I struggled with seasickness... (laughs) I didn't realize I was so weak on boats...

I participated with my 3-year-old child on February 10th. As expected, I got seasick on the boat to the submarine, which was quite tough. The travel time was about 10 minutes, but including the transfer time for other groups, we had about 15 to 20 minutes of docking time near the submarine, and I felt nauseous during that time as well. There are only two toilets on that boat, so I recommend using the restroom at the hotel before boarding. (Also, entering that toilet made me feel even more nauseous due to the cramped, sealed space.)
I was expecting to see colorful corals and fish inside the submarine, but perhaps because it was deep underwater or due to the lack of light, everything appeared to be a bluish color. This was unexpected and quite disappointing. At the five points we visited, there were many fish at the last point, but the others were rather lackluster. It was different from what I had imagined, and I felt sad and got more seasick than I expected, making it a tough tour. However, I think riding the submarine was a good experience, but once is enough.
2/10に3歳の子供と参加しました。
やはり、潜水艦までの船で酔ってしまい、かなりツラかったです。
移動時間は10分位ですが、他のグループの乗り換え時間などを含めると、潜水艦の近くでの停泊時間が15分~20分近くあり、その間も気持ち悪くなってしまいました。
トイレがその船に2個しかないので、ホテルで済ませるのをお勧めします。
(また、そのトイレに入ると、密閉された狭い空間の為、さらに酔ってしまいました。)
潜水艦の中は、色とりどりのサンゴや、魚を期待したのですが、深く潜ってる為?光が届かないせいか?魚もサンゴもすべて、青っぽい色にしか見えませんでした。
コレが予想外で、かなり悲しかったです。
魚も5つのポイントでは、最後のポイントはたくさん魚がいましたが、他はいまいちな感じでした。
ちょっと、思っていたものとは違い、悲しかったし、予想以上に酔ってしまい、ツライツアーでした。
でも、潜水艦に乗れたのは、良い経験だったと思いますが、1回乗れば十分。という感じでした。

I thought I would be able to enjoy whale watching elegantly on a luxury cruise, but I found it to be not particularly luxurious. The food was something that would suit Japanese tastes, but it was just "ordinary." As for the main attraction, the whales, I could only see a little bit of their backs far away, and I didn't get to see them splashing their tails like in the pictures. There were onboard activities like lei-making, hula classes, and ukulele classes, but since they all happened at the same time, I could only participate in one. Overall, it was disappointing. (I may have had overly high expectations...)

I went on January 13th. On the day I arrived in Hawaii, I signed up for this activity as a way to combat jet lag. I ended up rushing from the bus stop and arrived just in time!
Once on board, I was shown to my seat, and as I settled in, we set sail. The explanations were provided in both English and Japanese, which made it easy to understand. Even if I felt a bit tired and dazed sitting in my seat, they announced when whales were spotted, so I was able to see them. At first, they were quite far away, and we only saw spouts, which made me think it would be disappointing. However, the second sighting was a mother and calf, and we even got to see their tails. When you see that, you really feel like you've seen whales!
The meal was buffet style, but it seems you need to get your food at the beginning, as there are no additional servings later. The taste was okay, but I was able to enjoy some Hawaiian dishes as well.
On the way back, there were activities like lei making, hula, and ukulele lessons. I participated in hula and lei making, and I was surprised by how few participants there were.
There are various companies offering this plan, and I was initially concerned that this ALAN company, being cheaper, might have some drawbacks. However, that was not the case at all, which made me feel like I got a great deal!
1月13日に行ってきました。
ハワイ到着日に、時差ぼけ対策も兼ねたアクティビティーをと、こちらを申し込みました。集合時間ぎりぎりになってしまい、バス停から走りました!!
というのはさておき、乗船すると、席を案内され、そこを拠点に、船内観覧をしているうちに、出航。きちんと英語と日本語で説明してくれるので、よく分かりますし、ちょっと疲れてボーっとイスに座っていても、鯨が見えると、放送で教えてくれるので、見ることができます。始めはかなり遠くて、しかも潮吹きのみだったので、これでおしまいだと寂しいなぁと思っていたら、2頭目は親子で、しかも、テールも見れました。これが見れると鯨見た!って感じしますね。
食事は、バイキングスタイルですが、始めにとっておかないと、あとでの追加はないようです。まぁまぁなお味ですが、ハワイ料理もとれました。
帰路は、レイ作り、フラ、ウクレレレッスンのアクティビティーがあり、私は、フラとレイに参加しましたが、意外と参加者が少ないので驚きました。
様々な会社でこのプランありますし、その中で、このALANさんは格安だから、なにか差があったら??と思っていましたが、まったくそんなことなく、ということは、とってもお得な気分に浸れました。

The children's pool and the wave pool were particularly good. (Feedback from a lower elementary school boy)
The slide was fun to go down. (Feedback from a kindergarten child)
There were thrilling attractions not found in Japan, such as a ride where you slide down from a high place on a boat, making for a packed and enjoyable experience. On the slide where you go down by yourself, you end up diving into the water at the end, but it's reassuring because they help you right away.

We experienced parasailing for the first time as a family of four, despite some rain and wind. The standard course was about 150 meters, which was sufficient for beginners. Although the rain made it difficult to see the scenery clearly, we were generally satisfied. However, my wife and our two children (16 and 19 years old) were excited at first but seemed to get nauseous from the rain and wind, and they felt quite unwell. They even slept for a while after we returned to the hotel. Those who are sensitive to boats might need to be cautious.

I was moved by the sight of the boat racing through the sea breeze, filled with anticipation, but unfortunately, we were unable to see any whales. Shortly after setting sail, we were fortunate enough to encounter a pod of dolphins. We received a re-boarding ticket, but our schedule was full, so we couldn't go again. It might have been a bit too early for this time of year. By now, it should definitely be possible to see whales. In our case, it was mid-December. The photo of the dolphins became our only memento.

This time, we participated as a family of four. We were able to see whales, and as the tour name suggests, we got to swim with dolphins. I was impressed by the staff's service, as they even caught a sea turtle and showed it to us up close. Their effort to make sure we had a good time was evident. My son was thrilled and excited. My wife and daughter suffered from seasickness, but it seems they still enjoyed the fun atmosphere. I want to thank everyone, including the captain. When I signed up, the cost felt a bit high, but after participating, I think it was reasonable for what we experienced.
今回は家族4人で参加しました。鯨も見れたし、ツァー名どおりイルカと泳ぐことができました。また、ウミガメを捕まえてすぐそばで見せてくれたりと、スタッフのサービスに感激しました。楽しんでもらおうとしている気持ちが伝わってきました。息子は感激して興奮していました。妻と娘は船酔いで悲惨でしたが、それでも楽しい雰囲気は充分味わえたようです。船長さんをはじめ、皆さんにお礼を言いたいです。費用は、申し込むときは少し高額な気がしましたが、参加してみると内容的には妥当であったと思います。

On December 12th, I participated with my husband and two daughters, making it a group of four. I apologize for the late posting. I got a bit delayed due to the year-end hustle and bustle...
On the day, the weather was cloudy and a little chilly, but we were able to see the dolphins perfectly. Swimming with the dolphins... my 8-year-old daughter kept saying, "Wow! I'm swimming with dolphins!!" while still wearing her snorkel. The dolphins seemed to enjoy our daughter's excitement, and we got to spend a lot of time with them. It was truly a fun and healing experience. During our stay in Hawaii, my daughters kept saying, "I want to see dolphins!" every day, and even after returning to Japan, my 17-year-old daughter said, "Swimming with dolphins was the most fun!" We definitely want to participate again on our next trip to Hawaii!! My husband, who is a surfer, was left behind at Makaha...
Lastly, I want to thank Yuriko, the captain, Peachan, Kai, Jasmine, Adam, and all the staff for their great care. Thank you very much!!
12月12日、主人と2人の娘と4人で参加しました。書き込み遅くなってすみません。年末のごたごたでついつい遅くなってしまいました・・・。
当日、お天気は曇りで少し肌寒かったのですがイルカちゃんにはバッチリ会うことが出来ました。イルカと一緒に泳いで・・・8歳になる下の娘なんかはシュノーケルをくわえたまんま「スゴーイ!イルカと泳いでる~!!」の連発。イルカに夢中の我が家の娘に合せてくれたのか、イルカとの時間をたくさん取ってもらえました。本当に楽しかったし、癒される体験でした。その後のハワイ滞在中も「イルカ行きたい!」と毎日言われ、日本に帰ってからも「イルカが一番楽しかった!」と、17歳の上の娘も言っています。次回のハワイも是非参加させていただきます!!サーファーの主人はマカハに置き去りにして・・・。
最後になりましたが、ユリ子さん、キャプテン、ピーチャン、カイ、ジャスミン、アダム、スタッフの皆さん大変お世話になりました。ありがとうございました!!

I had always wanted to play with dolphins, so I joined this tour. Since I was there, I decided to go for a package that included various activities like playing with rays and feeding turtles and seals, which turned out to be a great choice. Even though my child was a bit scared, it seemed like they had a lot of fun, and it became a wonderful memory. In particular, the staff with the rays were very good with children; when my child didn't want to snorkel, they took care of them while I was snorkeling. However, I was surprised to see the rays come up from the surface like that. And the feeling of the rays' fins... you can't experience that anywhere else!
ずっとイルカと遊びたくて、このツアーに参加しました。せっかくだからと、エイと遊んだり、亀やあざらしに餌をあげたりといろんなアクティビティもセットにしたパッケージにして正解でした。子どもも怖がりながらも、どれもとっても楽しかったようでいい思い出になりました。特に、エイのスタッフの方がとても子ども慣れしているようで、シュノーケリングを子どもが嫌がったので、私がシュノーケリングをしている時に、子どもの面倒をみていてくれました。でも、エイがあんな水面から上がってくるには驚きでした。そして、エイのひれの感触・・・他では体験できないでしょう!!

I decided to participate after seeing comments about the submarine and really wanted to experience it. I have a scuba diving license, but my wife and children can't dive, so I wanted to show them the underwater world of Hawaii.
I joined the 9 AM tour. While waiting at the meeting point near our hotel, a trolley bus with a blue ocean pattern arrived, and they provided guidance in Japanese.
We arrived at the Hilton Hotel by bus. We then went to a nearby pier and boarded the boat there. I was worried because there were comments about the boat rocking, but the sea was calm that day. However, they did explain about the motion sickness bags, so it might rock at times.
The boat was comfortable, and after about 10 minutes, we learned about the submarine. Along the way, we were able to see whales, which thrilled the kids.
Finally, we boarded the submarine. I wanted to sit at the front to see the cockpit, so I lined up. There were entrances at the front and back of the submarine, and we descended via a ladder. By chance, I was able to sit at the front.
As soon as we boarded, we saw a school of fish. The windows were large, and the seats were spacious and comfortable. As we began to dive, we saw even more types of fish, and passing through several reefs, we also spotted turtles and sharks. My wife and children were overjoyed, and I was excited watching it all.
The day before, we had visited the aquarium and snorkeled at Hanauma Bay, so we were thrilled to recognize the fish we had seen there.
I lost track of time because I was so excited, but it felt like about 50 minutes flew by.
On the way back, they dropped us off at designated places like the Ala Moana Shopping Center and our hotel.
Overall, it was an incredible experience.
潜水艦のコメントを見てぜひ乗りたいと思って参加しました。私はスキューバのライセンスを持っているのですが、妻と子供たちはもぐることができないので、ハワイの海の中を見せたいと思いました。
朝9時のツアーに参加しました。宿泊ホテル近くの集合場所で待っていると、青い海の模様をしたトロリーバスが来て日本語で案内してくれました。
バスでヒルトンホテルに到着。すぐ近くの桟橋に行き、そこで船に乗船しました。船が揺れるとのコメントがあったので心配しましたが、この日は穏やかでした。ただ、エチケット袋の説明があったので揺れることもあるのかもしれません。
船も快適で、10分程度で潜水艦についてのですが、途中、鯨も見ることができ、子供は感激していました。
いよいよ潜水艦に乗り込みましたが、前のほうに座ってコックピットも見たいと思ってならんでいました。潜水艦の前後に出入り口があり、はしごで降りていくのですが、前後に振り分けられてたまたま前のほうに座ることができました。
乗るとすぐに魚の群れが見られました。窓も大きく、席もゆったりしていて快適でした。もぐり始めるとさらに、魚の種類が増え、いくつかの漁礁を通ると、かめやさめなども見ることができました。妻と子供は大喜び。私も興奮してみていました。
前日に水族館やハナウマ湾のシュノーケリングをして、魚たちを見ていたので、この魚は水族館にいたとかハナウマ湾で見たとか大盛り上がりでした。
興奮していて時間がわかりませんが50分程度の時間があっという間でした。
帰りは、アラモアナショッピングセンターや宿泊ホテルなど指定場所まで送ってくれました。
とにかく感激でした。
