I actually struggle with English, so I could hardly understand the explanation before we started. I was very anxious, relying only on the visuals, but once we began, the view from above Hawaii was incredibly beautiful, which eased my anxiety and allowed me to enjoy it greatly. Since there were no windows, it was colder up there than I imagined, and even with the borrowed warm clothing, it was still a bit chilly. For those who have the opportunity to ride, wearing a bit of extra clothing is essential!
じつは英語が苦手で、開始前の説明案内がほぼ聞き取れませんでした。
映像から察するしか出来ず大変不安でしたがいざ開始するとハワイ上空から見た景色が物凄く綺麗手で不安が払しょくされ大変楽しむことが出来ました。 窓なしと言うこともあり上空は想像より寒く、お借りした防寒着を着ても肌寒かったです。 乗る機会がある方へ多少の厚着は必須です( ´艸`)

I was scheduled to be picked up in front of DFS at 9:25 AM (the van arrived more than 10 minutes late). After that, we went around several hotels in the Waikiki area, including the Marriott, and for some reason, at 10:25 AM, I was taken to a travel agency office just a minute's walk from DFS, where I was shown souvenirs.
I felt there was absolutely no need to stop by the office, and if they really wanted to make a stop there, it would have been better to gather everyone at the office at 10:25 AM instead. If they are considering Japanese tourists as well, I think they should improve the logistics in that regard.
Visiting Manoa Falls and Tantalus was worthwhile, and the pastrami for lunch was delicious. However, since I wasted an hour in the morning, it left a very negative impression of the tour.
9時25分にDFS前でピック予定(10分以上遅れてバンが到着)、その後ワイキキ中心部のマリオット等いくつかホテルを周り、なぜか10時25分にはDFSから徒歩1分の旅行会社オフィスなるところに連れて行かれてお土産を見させられました。
オフィスに寄る必要を全く感じなかったですし、どうしてもオフィスに寄らせたいのであれば、そこに10時25分集合でよかったのではないでしょうか。
日本人も対象に考えられているのであれば、その辺りのロジはきちんとした方がいいと思います。
マノアの滝とタンタラスの丘自体は行って良かったです、ランチのパストラミも美味しかったです。
しかし朝から1時間無駄にされたので、幸先悪く非常に印象の悪いツアーとなってしまいました。

This was an experience under the clear sky that truly felt like a Hawaiian beach. I added a wetsuit to my equipment rental and was fully prepared with my own gloves. The high tide allowed for sufficient water depth, so the fish were coming out from the rocks. The large size of the fish may be due to the thorough management of the reef. I was able to see a small turtle, possibly carried by the current. To be honest, the waves were high, visibility was low, and it turned into a challenging snorkeling experience due to seasickness and physical exhaustion, but that’s just the luck of the draw. I hope for better conditions next time.
これぞ、ハワイビーチと言う晴天下の体験でした。機材レンタルにウェットを追加して、持参の軍手をして準備は万全。
満ち潮で水深が確保出来ていたので、魚達も磯から出て来ていました。魚体が大きいのはリーフの管理が徹底出来ているからでしょうか。潮に流されてか小亀を観ることが出来ました。正直、波が高く、視界は低く、波酔いと体力消耗するハードなシュノーケルとなってしまいましたが、こればかりはツキ次第。次回に期待したいと思います。

We had an enjoyable day out. The weather wasn’t very favourable but the team still did an outstanding job. Lunch was cooked fresh and was very nice. We didn’t snorkel but looks like all had a great time.
The only thing I would change is we had 2 boats tied together and it made for a lot of flippers in the water, looked very crowded around the reef. I’m saying that, the team always kept their eyes on the job and communicated together at all times.
Great job done by all.

On the day we visited, the Tornado was closed for maintenance, and it seemed that due to a staff shortage, only about three other slides were being opened alternately. It might have been because it was a weekday, but the park itself closed at 3 PM. I was hoping to enjoy a few more slides since it was a weekday, so I was a bit disappointed.
ちょうど私たちが訪れた日は、トルネードがメンテナンス中でクローズ、それ以外のスライダーも人手不足なのか、3つくらいを順番に交互に解放しているようでした。曜日的に平日と言うこともあるかもしれませんが、パーク自体も午後3時で閉園でした。平日なのでもう少し色々なスライダーを出来るかなと期待していたので、少し拍子抜けでした。

The clear weather quickly turned, and as soon as we got on the buggy, it started to rain. When I looked back, the two guides were fully prepared, as if they had expected it. Almost everyone was soaked through to their underwear from the heavy rain. There was no time to enjoy the scenery at all. After the activity ended, we had about ten minutes until the shuttle bus arrived. There wasn't enough room to get on, and even if we did, there were no seats available. The return bus only comes once at 1:30, which is far too infrequent. I missed the rain gear at the vending machine at the reception.
快晴から一転、バギーに乗ってすぐに雨が降り出しました。振り返るとガイドの二人は予期していたのか完全防備。ほぼ全員、下着までずぶ濡れになる程の激しい雨。景色を見る余裕は全くなかった。アクティビティ終了後、10分程で送迎のバス時間。乗れないし、乗っても座れない。帰りのバスは1時半に1本で少なすぎる。受付の自販機で雨具は見逃す。

The Bishop Museum was at the top of our list when it came to museums to visit. With an expansive exhibit in the Hawaiian Hall main building, they have everything from artifacts from the Hawaiian Royal Family to traditional medicine and religion. Do not miss this part of the museum - it's too important to miss!
There was also a kid-friendly Backyard Adventures Exhibit in the Castle Memorial Building, which my young son absolutely enjoyed. Each part of this exhibit is interactive and teaches kids about the seasons and bugs too!
The Richard T. Mamiya Science Adventure Center is an amazing exhibit which houses their volcano exhibit and native flora and fauna. There is an amazing walk through of a dark maze backlit with colorful birds and plants. Don't miss this one either!
The Bishop Museum is a wonderful resource and cultural center for both locals and visitors. I highly recommend it and consider it to be among the most comprehensive publically available experiences on Hawaiian & Pacific culture. Don't miss the chance to visit!
Thank you very much for visiting our museum! I'm glad that you enjoyed the exhibits! Please come again! Thank you!

You can only go to the sandbar if you join the tour, and there are no tours on Sundays, so my husband, who works on weekdays, couldn't join and I went alone. (By the way, most of the others were couples, so it felt a bit lonely!)
However, on the day of the tour, it was drizzling and overcast from the morning. The scenery was far from what you see in the photos; everything was gray. There's nothing you can do about the weather, so I suppose we can only hope for good weather.
Even though I participated alone, I was able to get explanations and practice for snorkeling at the sandbar. They provided explanations in both English and Japanese, so even if your English isn't great, you can feel at ease.
The hamburger for lunch was very delicious on the boat. The snorkeling in the second half wasn't very clear due to the bad weather, but I did see some fish.
However, it was really cold after getting out, and I was shivering. I had hot cocoa on the boat, but it didn't warm me up much. On the bus ride back, I was still in my wet swimsuit with just a cover-up, and the bus air conditioning was quite strong, making me shiver even more...
I recommend that participants try to take off as much wet clothing as possible and wear more layers for the return trip!
ツアーに参加しないとサンドバーまで行けないということと日曜日はツアーはないということで、平日は仕事だった主人は参加できず1人で参加しました。(ちなみに他のみなさんはカップルが多くてちょっと寂しい〜!)
しかし当日は朝からずっと霧雨の曇天。
写真のような景色とは程遠く、全部グレーでした。天候に左右されるのは致し方ないですから、こればかりは良い天気を祈るしかないかと思います。
1人参加でしたがサンドバーの時にシュノーケリングの説明と練習をさせてもらえます。英語での説明と日本語での説明をして下さるので英語がイマイチでも安心です。
ランチのハンバーガーは船上でとても美味しくいただきました。
後半のシュノーケリングも天候が悪かったので視界はあまり良くありませんでしたがお魚見えました。
ただ、とにかく上がった後寒くて寒くてガタガタ震えてしまいました。船上で熱いココアをいただきましたがなかなか温まらず。帰りのバスも濡れた水着を着たまま上に羽織って帰るのですが、これまたバスのエアコンがよくきいていてブルブル…。
参加される方は濡れたものは出来るだけ脱いで、行きよりたくさん着て帰れるようにすることをオススメします!

We headed over to Ko Olina and drove to the main entrance of the Four Seasons Resort. Parking was valet so be sure to bring extra cash, which was $20 plus tip. The stargazing is located on the top floor of the spa building at the tennis courts.
Our guide Greg was very knowledgable and gave interesting tidbits about how the Hawaiians used the stars both in their folklore and in their navigation. The stars are quite beautiful in Hawaii so we were glad to have been able to do stargazing here.
Some of the most unique stargazing can only be done in the islands, so this was well worth doing for us!
Mahalo! Keep reaching for the stars !

I had a wonderful time being watched over by the very kind and humorous Chieko and Dan. There were a total of seven of us: two young couples, my 66-year-old self and my son, and one man from overseas. They held my hand, as I’m not a strong swimmer, and guided me to where the fish and turtles were swimming. I was quite anxious as a beginner and being older, but the one-hour snorkeling experience was just fine. Their advice was to take motion sickness medication if you’re worried about seasickness. I also recommend borrowing a wetsuit to prevent injuries and sunburn. I’m really glad I participated.
とても優しくてユーモラスなチエコさんとダンさん2人に見守られ楽しい時間を過ごす事が出来ました。若いカップル2組、66歳の私と息子、海外の男性1人の計7人でした。泳ぎの苦手な私の手を繋いで、魚や亀の泳いでいる場所を案内してくれました。1時間たっぷりのシュノーケルに、初心者で高齢の私は不安ばかりでしたが、大丈夫でした。アドバイスは、波酔いの心配がある方は酔い止め薬を服用すること。ウェットスーツは怪我や日焼け予防にも借りる事をお勧めします。参加してとても良かったです。

We departed from West Oahu, but unfortunately, we didn't see a single whale that day. We also experienced a cruise departing from Waikiki as a backup service from the same company, but we still didn't encounter any whales! However, if you don't see any whales, you receive a free boarding ticket for the next time, so if you have flexibility in your schedule, you can reschedule for another day. If you're visiting for about five days, you might not have time to switch to another day, so it's a bit of a gamble... There were no Japanese crew members, so everything was in English. Our family was the only Japanese guests. But as long as you can find the departure location, you should be fine even if you don't understand English.
西オアフから出発ですが、その日は残念ながら1頭も会えず。
リベンジでワイキキからも出発するクルーズ(同じ会社の振り替えサービス)も体験しましたが、くじらに会えず!
ただ、見れなかった場合は次回無料乗船券がもらえるので、日程的に余裕がある人は違う日に振り替えられます。5日くらいの観光できているとほかの日に振り替える時間がないと思うので、一か八かですね・・・。
日本人のクルーはいませんので、すべて英語です。
