My wife and I went on a Thursday and had a wonderful time. There were two boats, one for English speaking people and one for Japanese speaking. When we got to the sandbar they tied the boats together and we explored the sandbar. My wife and I practiced or snorkeling skills and checked out our equipment, walked around the sandbar, and then played water volleyball. To my surprise, not many people wanted to play so my wife and I joined in. Our team consisted of us and 3 from the Japanese boat while the other team was 2 of the guides and 3 Japanese people. We may not have spoken the same language but it did remind me that laughter is a language we all share and speak. When we got back on the boat, we enjoyed a cheeseburger in paradise and were serenaded by one of the guides. We then went looking for turtles on the way to reef (we saw 3). The reef was amazing and we saw a turtle and tons of fish. After snorkeling for about 30 minutes, it was time to head back. Our final treat was seeing the original Gilligan's Island on the way back to port. We have lasting memories and it was a great time.

It was really amazing. The guys were really nice and funny, answering every questions. We stayed really long in the cage and at no time we felt unsecure. We saw many sharks all around the cage and coming close to the boat. If you can, ask for them to take the pictures with a gopro, they'll be a lot and you won't have to worry about it.

I participated in a tour that included lunch. The water was quite deep, reaching up to my chest. People who joined in the morning said it wasn't that deep. There was a Japanese guide, so I felt reassured since I could communicate in Japanese. It gets really sunny, so sunscreen is a must. There is a toilet on the boat, but it was dirty, so I didn't want to use it. The wind was strong, and during lunch, plates and cups almost flew away, so most people ate inside. The hamburger for lunch was just average. The sea was beautiful, and I was able to see sea turtles.
ランチ付の便で参加しました。
結構水深が深くて、胸までありました。
朝に参加した人はそんなに深くなかったと言っていました。
日本人のガイドの人がいたので、日本語が通じるし、安心です。

Although the weather on the day wasn't very good, I was able to see sea turtles and snorkeling was fun. The staff were kind and their conversations were entertaining! One point to note is that since you have to walk to the bus, if the weather is bad, I think it's a good idea to bring a folding umbrella and a long-sleeved jacket for changing.
当日天候はあまり良くなかったものの海ガメを見る事も出来たしシュノーケリングも楽しかったです。

I participated in activities during a trip with my mother. This time, we signed up for a height of 120 meters, and the view from the sky was amazing! On the day of the activity, it was quite windy, and we swayed a lot in the air, but that was fun too. We took a lot of pictures, and it became a great memory!
I wanted to take pictures from above, so I put my phone in a waterproof pouch and hung it around my neck. I recommend hanging it around your neck if you want to take photos.

You have to walk to the nearby hotel for the pickup, but they will take you back, so it's reassuring. I recommend it for both repeat visitors and first-timers, and it's great that they take you to places you wouldn't normally go. The main event, snorkeling, is well taken care of, so it's fine for beginners and those over sixty.
Since you can get quite sunburned, it might be a good idea to have sunscreen ready to apply right after you get out. Anyway, I'm grateful for this tour. I want to go snorkeling in the North again, so see you next year! ♡
ピックアップは近くのホテルまで歩かないと行けないけど帰りは送ってくれるので安心。リピートの人にも初めての人にもおすすめで、なかなか行かないところに連れて行ってくれるのがいい。メインイベントのシュノーケリングも面倒をみてもらえるので初めての人、還暦過ぎ人も大丈夫。
かなり日焼けしちゃうので上がったらすぐ塗れるようにおいとくのもいいかも。とにかく、このツアーを考えてくれたことに感謝。ノースのシュノーケリングもいきたいからまた、来年ね♡

I was looking forward to walking on the sandbar, but it seems that sandbars are very rare.
I wouldn't recommend it for those who don't want to swim.
If the water had been knee-deep, I could have gone into the sea, but it was above my waist.
I was deceived by the photos and the promotional text.
砂州の上を歩くのをお楽しみにしていましたが、砂州が現れることはごく稀だそうです。
泳ぐ気が無い人にはお勧めしません。
水が膝下ぐらいだったら海にはいれたのですが、腰以上でした。
写真とうたい文句にだまされました。
Thank you very much for participating in the tour.
However, we understand that you may have been disappointed not to see the scenery you were expecting.
The water level at the sandbar varies significantly between high tide and low tide, so there may be times when the beach is not visible due to tidal conditions. We appreciate your understanding in this matter.
Additionally, we have posted a website on the tour page where you can check the tidal conditions in advance, so please refer to it if you have the opportunity to participate again.
We will strive to provide even more satisfying services based on your valuable feedback.
Thank you very much for taking the time to share your experience.

We visited Hawaii for our honeymoon and participated in parasailing. We were blessed with great weather, and the view from 150 meters was truly spectacular!! However, I felt a bit nauseous from the irregular swaying caused by the wind while parasailing (laughs). I didn't feel sick at all on the boat, but if you're prone to motion sickness, it might be a good idea to take some anti-nausea medication for peace of mind.

This tour turns everything you think you knew about sharks completely on its head. After a short ride out from the harbor, you arrive at your snorkel site. You quickly and quietly get in the water (with no cage!) and voila, you are swimming with 5-8 foot sharks all around. This was a very professionally run and awesome adventure on the North Shore. Highly recommended to anyone with a sense of adventure.

It was my first time surfing, and it was in English... I was surprised because I didn't realize that when I signed up. Surfing itself was fun and went by in no time! However, it didn't feel very beginner-friendly.
Also, I wasn't sure if there was a return shuttle, and it felt like I was reluctantly given a ride back, which I didn't like.
Thank you very much!☆

I participated with my 6-year-old child. We played in the kids' pool, on the slide for those over 107 cm, and in the wave pool. The wave pool had a limited number of free floaties, so there was quite a scramble for them... but the waves were a lot of fun.
The lazy river also had few floaties, and it wasn't very enjoyable without one, so that was a bit disappointing. For lunch, we had a barbecue, but since it was a weekday and relatively less crowded, I felt that eating at the snack bar might have been a good option too. However, it was nice to have a place with a roof to eat comfortably.
The free drinks were mostly unnecessary, but having lunch and drinks included made it easier since I didn't have to carry cash. With kids at this age, they don't really slide down aggressively, so it feels a bit overpriced. There were quite a few slides they couldn't go on yet, so I think it would be really fun when they reach around 3rd grade and can slide on everything.
6歳子連れで参加しました。子供プールや107センチ以上可のスライダー、波のプールで遊びました。
波のプールは無料の浮き輪が少なく結構争奪戦でした。。。でも波はとても楽しいです。
流れるプールも浮き輪が少なく浮き輪がないとあまり楽しくないのでここはうーん、、といった感じでした。
昼食はバーベキューランチにしましたが、平日で割と人も少なかったので売店でもよかったかも、という気はしました。ただ、屋根のある場所でゆっくり食べられるのはいいです。
フリードリンクもほぼ不要でしたが、ランチ・ドリンクつきだとお金を持ち歩く必要がないので気は楽でした。
子供がこのくらいの年だとまだガンガン滑る感じではないので、ちょっと価格が高く見合わない感じはします。まだ滑れないスライダーが結構あったので、全部滑れる小学生3年生くらいになったらとっても楽しいのではと思います。

The slides were generally fun! However, since I didn't bring flip-flops, I had to walk barefoot... and it was incredibly hot. It was so hot that it felt like it could burn my feet. Since you can't wear flip-flops while on the slides, I recommend wearing water shoes. It seemed like you could slide with them on.
スライダーは全般面白かった!
しかし、ビーサンを持参しなかったため、素足で歩くことに・・
これがとにかく熱いのなんのって。やけどするくらいチリチリに熱い。
ビーサンはスライダーで履いたまま乗れないので、マリンシューズを履いて行く事を
オススメします。マリンシューズならそのまま滑れるみたいでした。

I actually wanted to experience the buggy ride and horseback riding, but unfortunately, the day I planned was fully booked. I participated in the movie tour, jungle tour, and a cruise, and I’m glad I did all of them. On the cruise, I was able to see swimming sea turtles in the distance, and during the movie tour, I enjoyed the beautiful and lively Japanese guide's easy-to-understand explanations while riding in a quirky, vintage bus and taking in the great outdoors. The jungle tour allowed me to ride in a Swiss military jeep and experience the impressive driving of a local handsome guide while enjoying the stunning views of Hawaii. The food, however, was not something I could honestly say was delicious. Next time, I’d like to challenge myself with the buggy ride or horseback riding!
本当は、バギーや乗馬を体験したかったのですが、あいにく予定の日が満席。映画ツアーとジャングルツアーとクルージングに参加しました。が、どれも参加して良かったです。クルーズでは泳ぐウミガメを遠くに見られたし、映画ツアーでは美人ではつらつとした日本人ガイドさんのわかりやすい説明を聞きながらポンコツな味のあるバスに乗って大自然を満喫できました。ジャングルツアーはスイスの軍事用ジープに乗って現地のイケメンの迫力ある運転を体験しながらハワイの絶景を鑑賞できました。食事はお世辞にも美味しいとは言えなかったです。次回はバギーか乗馬にチャレンジしたいですね!

I wanted to try ziplining, so I booked a package that included transportation. The pickup time was punctual. There was one Japanese couple, and the rest were all foreigners. Although the explanations were only in English, they were easy to understand with gestures. (It might be tough if you don't understand any English at all.) The staff were cheerful and kept the energy up, so I enjoyed the tour the whole time! The first line was scary, and I had a hard time jumping off, but from the second line on, it was fun to glide, and I wasn't scared anymore. I was able to slide backward and even upside down.

We will definitely talk to him about it.
Just to be clear, the tour package you bought included the kayak plus the admission to the falls park, but did not include a free lunch on us.
Some of the other customers use only one activity and have lunch on us -in lieu- of the second activity . Is this where the confusion started?
Our manager will call you to clarify everything with you.

I heard that the sandbar, which looks like something out of a magazine, can only be seen twice a month, so I was hopeful. However, when I went, it just felt like a shallow area, so it wasn't really enjoyable as a sandbar experience. Still, I think it's a spot worth visiting for some conversation starters when in Hawaii!
Later, during snorkeling, I got to see a big turtle and tropical fish, which was definitely much more fun. Haha! There were also Japanese staff members, so the conversations were enjoyable too!
サンドバーは雑誌に載ってるような感じになるのは月に2回しか見られないとのことだったので、運を信じましたが、行った日はただの浅瀬のような感じだったので、サンドバーを楽しむという感じではありませんでしたが、ハワイに行ったら話題作りのためにも行ったほうがいいスポットだと思います!
その後のシュノーケルで大きな亀と熱帯魚が見れたので、そっちの方が断然楽しかったです。笑
