This was our first time and we loved it! The views were spectacular, it was fun, and was an overall good time. Be prepared to get down and dusty though if you are at the back of the ATV line up! Thanks Michael for the tour, we really enjoyed it!

I participated with a friend.
First, the hula instructor teaches in a fun way. They also lend you props, so even those who are not feeling motivated will get excited (laughs).
Next, we went to the sea to meet dolphins! Although the time we spent swimming together was short, we were able to swim with dolphins and turtles! Even if you don't encounter dolphins, I think it's a tour that can still be enjoyed thanks to the various performances by the staff on the boat (including dance and jokes).
I definitely want to participate again♪
By the way, it gets quite cold after swimming, so don't forget to bring a jacket!!
友人と2人で参加しました。
最初にフラ、フラの先生が楽しく教えてくれます。
小道具も貸してもらえるので、気乗りがしない人でもテンションがあがりますよ(笑
次にイルカに会いに海へ!
間近で一緒に泳げた時間は少なかったのですが、イルカ&亀と泳ぐが出来ました!
最悪イルカと遭遇出来なくても、船上スタッフのいろいろなパフォーマンス(ダンスあり、ギャグあり)があるので、それなりに楽しめるツアーだと思います。
是非、また参加したいです♪
ちなみに、泳いだ後はかなり寒いので上着を忘れずに!!

We had such an enjoyable tour of Pearl Harbor and the rest of the island! Our tour guide, Hana, was extremely knowledgeable and provided many extra bits of information as we were driving. We had some bus trouble and Hana handled it in a completely professional and very quick manner. Overall I would recommend this tour to anyone. We absolutely loved it and it is a great way to see the island without renting a car.

I participated with my mother, who is in her 50s and had no experience with snorkeling. At first, she struggled to breathe properly, but thanks to the careful and easy-to-understand guidance from our guide, Alan, and his appropriate support, she was able to do it well by the end. He also took us to points where we could see a lot of fish, so even in a short time, we had plenty of fun. Personally, I really enjoyed that Alan played music that matched the scenery and situation during our drive.
シュノーケリング未経験の母(50代)と参加しました。
はじめは、うまく呼吸できなかった母でしたが、ガイドのアランさんの丁寧でわかりやすい指導と適切なフォローのおかげで、最後にはうまくできるようになりました。また、お魚がたくさんいるポイントに連れて行ってくれるので、短時間でも十分楽しめます。
個人的には、移動の車内で、アランさんが、風景やシチュエーションにあった曲を流してくれていたのが、とっても気分がよかったです。

The whole evening went very smooth, from the Transportation pick up to the actual cruise. Very well organized and the food was really good. The entertainment was very enjoyable as well, and everyone in our dinning area seemed to enjoy the evening. The sunset was very nice even on a cloudy evening. The view back into Waikiki was amazing.

As this was my first visit to Oahu and Hawaii, I wanted to see as much as I possibly could. This tour did was great! We saw much of the island with a few stops here and there. Some of the things we saw were merely through the bus window, but being able to see so much of the island in one day was wonderful. I would recommend doing this tour near the beginning of your trip so if there is anything you find particularly interesting, you can go back. Pearl Harbor was amazing. This is a good tour if you only want a couple hours there.
Our tour guide was excellent! He was very knowledgeable about the locations we visited, friendly and shared many interesting folklore stories during the tour.

It was our first snorkeling experience, including our small children, and we had a great time thanks to the kind instruction we received. When my child got scared along the way, Yuta was gentle and helped them feel at ease, even joining in on some sand play, which made it a safe and enjoyable experience. Thank you very much.
Due to the number of participants and their skill levels, we were split into two groups, and it seems the other group got to see a turtle. Next time, I would like to practice a bit before joining this tour again, so I hope to see you then as well.
小さい子供も含めての初めてのシュノーケリングでしたが、親切に教えていただき楽しめました。
途中で子供が怖がったときも、ユウタ?さんにやさしく教えていただいたり、砂遊びにも付き合ってもらい、安心して遊べました。ありがとうございました。
今回は参加人数、レベルの関係で2組に分かれての体験で、もう一組はカメも見れたようです。次回は少し練習してから、またこのツアーに参加したいと思いますので、その際もよろしくお願いします。

First off, go all out and get the top-of-the-line package because you are treated like a king/queen. As a first-time visit for my girlfriend, she was enthralled.

I participated in the early morning plan.
The tour included sea turtle watching, a sandbar, and snorkeling, all packed into the morning, and I had a great time. While I think it would be nice to spend a leisurely time at the sandbar in Kaneohe Bay, this plan was perfect for us since we wanted to go shopping in the afternoon!
When we arrived at the sea turtle point, everyone searched for the turtles together. The crew and captain were quick to spot them. Although we couldn't see them up close, we were desperately trying to find the turtles popping their heads up here and there. It was so much fun! On this day, we also encountered three manta rays swimming in circles. According to the guide, it's quite rare to see manta rays. Lucky us♪
Unfortunately, the sandbar wasn't visible, but I was able to experience the thrill of standing in the middle of the ocean! The guide instructed us on various poses and took photos in order. Thank you! The views of both the ocean and the mountains were absolutely stunning and picturesque.
Finally, we went snorkeling! There was a snorkeling spot right next to the sandbar where we could see many yellow fish. The explanations were thorough, so I felt at ease. Even if I got scared, it was close enough to quickly return to the sandbar.
I was very satisfied to be able to see such beautiful scenery just half a day away from Waikiki!☆
早朝プランに参加しました。
ウミガメウォッチ、サンドバー、シュノーケルと午前中だけのツアーですが盛りだくさんで、
とっても楽しむことができました。
ゆっくり、サンドバーのあるカネオヘ湾で過ごすのもいいと思いますが、
午後からはショッピングに行きたかった私達にはピッタリのプランでした!!
ウミガメポイントに着いたらみんなでカメさん探します。
クルーやキャプテンはさすがに探すの早いです。
近くで見ることができなかったのですが、あっちだ!こっちだ!ってチョコっと顔をだすカメさんを
探すのに必死でした。とっても楽しかったです。
この日はクルクル円を書いているマンタ3頭にも出会うことができました。
ガイドさん曰く、マンタにはなかなか会えないようです。ラッキー♪
サンドバーは残念ながら顔を出していなかったのですが、
十分海の真ん中に立っている!っていう感動を味わうことができました。
ガイドさんがいろいろポーズを指示してくれて写真を順番に撮ってくれます。ありがとうございました!
海側も山側もとっても素敵な景色が広がっていて絵になります。
最後はシュノーケル♪サンドバーのすぐ横にシュノーケルスポットがあり
黄色の魚をたくさん見ることができました。
説明もしっかりしてくれるので安心です^^怖くなってもサンドバーまですぐ戻れる距離でした。
半日でワイキキから離れてこんなに美しい景色をみれるなんて大満足です☆

I participated with two colleagues from work. Since it was everyone's first time snorkeling, we chose this tour. The guides were very kind and taught us properly, so we felt confident handling the equipment and were able to enter the sea without any worries.
It was quite a day with high waves, and we were tossed around quite a bit. I struggled to keep up with everyone due to my lack of stamina, and one of my colleagues had a hard time getting used to the snorkel. Due to various factors, two of us came back early, but even for a short time, we were able to see a lot of fish and even met a cute sea turtle. (One of my colleagues seemed to swim together with it the whole time... was he flirting?)
They had prepared water and snacks, so we could relax and enjoy the scenery. (Hanauma Bay is enjoyable just for the views alone!)
I think this is a recommended tour for those who want to go but feel anxious about snorkeling for the first time.
会社の後輩と一緒に3人で参加しました。
皆、初めてのシュノーケリングでしたのでこちらのツアーを選びました。
ガイドさん達はとても親切で初心者の私たちにもきちんと教えてくださり
機材の取り扱いにも不安が無く海に入ることが出来ました。
結構波の高い日で波に翻弄されっぱなしだったこと
体力が無く皆について行くのが難しくなったこと
後輩がなかなかシュノーケルに慣れることができなかったこと
いろいろな要因が重なり、2人は早めに上がったのですが
ちょっとの間でもたくさん魚を見ることが出来ましたし
ウミガメのおんなの子にも会えましたよ。かわいかった。
(後輩の一人はずーっと一緒に泳いだ様です…ナンパ?)
ちゃんとお水やおやつも準備してあったため
ゆっくりと景色を眺めてぼーっとすることが出来ました。
(ハナウマは景色だけでも十分楽しめます^^)
行きたいけどシュノーケリング自体が初めてで不安だと思われる方には
おすすめのツアーだと思います。

The sandbar was about knee-deep, but the water was very clear and the color of the sea was beautiful, which was really great. I took a lot of photos. At the sea turtle spot, I was able to see many sea turtles. There were also plenty of fish while snorkeling. For lunch, they made us hamburgers, and I was very satisfied! The staff were all very kind, and it was a lot of fun.
There are no changing facilities, so on the way back, you'll be on the bus with your wet swimsuit for about an hour to Waikiki. It’s a good idea to have a T-shirt, hoodie, or dress that you can put on over your swimsuit!
サンドバーはひざ下くらいでしたが、透明度も高くて、海の色がきれいで、とってもよかったです。いっぱい写真撮っちゃいました。海亀スポットでは、たくさんの海亀が見れました。シュノーケリングも魚がたくさんいます。ランチもハンバーガーをつくってくれて、とても満足です!スタッフの方も皆さんとっても親切でたのしかったです。
着替えるところはないので、帰りは、濡れた水着のままバスに揺られてワイキキまで一時間弱くらいなので、そのまま上から着れるTシャツやパーカ、ワンピなどあったほうがいいですよ!

I was moved to see turtles swimming and rays swimming in circles in a group up close. The sandbar was about ankle-deep, and the sand was very beautiful. I could see the coral reef while snorkeling, but I couldn't reach it, and small fish were swimming around. It was a series of emotional experiences for me.
カメが泳ぐのとエイが群れで円を描いて泳ぐのが近くで見れ感動しました。砂州の上は、くるぶしほどの深さで砂はとてもきれいでした。サンゴ礁は、シュノーケルで見えているのに足が届かず小さな魚が泳いでました。初めての経験で感動の連続でした。

We cruised until we reached the point where we boarded the submarine! The inside of the submarine was a bit cramped, and the windows were smaller than I expected, but I got to see the wreckage of a Japanese airplane that sank long ago and also spotted some sea turtles, experiencing something out of the ordinary.

The day before participating in this activity, my son got injured, so we reluctantly gave up on snorkeling and played at the water's edge instead. My two daughters, who were not injured, could swim, so they spoke to Allen and Yuto about the situation, and they kindly took them snorkeling. It seems my daughters had a lot of fun seeing many fish. However, the water was cold, and perhaps because they were away from me, they came back after a while. Next time, I hope everyone can participate in good health and see lots of fish.
このアクティビティに参加する前日に、息子が怪我をしてしまったため、仕方なくシュノーケルはあきらめて波打ち際で遊んでいました。怪我をしていない娘達2人は泳げるので、アレンさんやユウトさんに事情を話してシュノーケルに連れて行ってもらいました。快く引き受けてくださいました。娘達は、たくさんの魚が見れてとても楽しかったようです。ただ水が冷たく、私とも離れていたせいか、ある程度で引き上げてきてしまいました。

Most of the staff are Japanese, but almost all the foreign staff are fluent in Japanese, so you can participate with peace of mind.
