He was extremely helpful and knowledgeable!!
Very personable and funny too. Hike was great, a few challenges but overall pretty easy.. We did not use boots and came back a bit muddy. But we are used to that back in PA. Highly recommend these fellas... Small group and shows with their personal touches!! Two thumbs up & mahalo for a great hike!!!

This might have been the most fun part of my trip to Hawaii (^ - ^)/
We were picked up from the hotel and got on the bus around 9:20, arriving at the port around 10:10. The road was flat and easy. If we had driven, we might have arrived even faster.
After a while, we boarded the boat to the sandbar. We arrived in about 30 minutes and spent about an hour exploring and playing. The boat hardly rocked at all. The sandbar felt like a larger version of Hatenohama in Kume Island, Okinawa. There were no fish at the sandbar.
After that, we had cheeseburgers for lunch and moved to see sea turtles while heading to the coral reef with fish. This took about 10 to 20 minutes, I guess? We were able to see several sea turtles.
Once we reached the coral reef, we snorkeled around there. We saw sea turtles again. We played for about an hour before heading back to the port.
今回のハワイ旅行で一番楽しかったかも(^-^)/
ホテルからのピックアップでいき、9時20分くらいにバスにのり10時10分くらいに港につきました。道も平坦で楽でした。車で行けばもっと早くついたかも。
それから、しばらくして船にのりサンドバーへ。30分くらいで着いて、1時間くらい散策して遊び。船はほとんど揺れません。サンドバーは、沖縄久米島のはての浜の大きい版という感じです。サンドバーには魚はいません。
その後、チーズバーガーを昼食にとり、ウミガメを見に移動しつつ、魚のいる珊瑚礁に。これは10~20分くらい移動でしょうか?ウミガメは数匹見ることができました。
珊瑚礁についたら、その回りをシュノーケリングで遊びます。ここでもウミガメを見ました。1時間くらい遊んで港へ。

We participated as a family of five, with two children and an infant. My wife and the infant did not go into the cage but observed from the boat plan. You can see the sharks well even from the boat. When the captain threw a mysterious can with a rope into the sea at the shark point, the sharks were attracted to it and gathered around. We were also allowed to throw in the can, so my wife and the kids got to do it several times.
As I mentioned in another review, the cage plan can be quite shaky, so I think it's better for those who get seasick to choose the boat plan and observe from the deck.
夫婦+子供2人+乳児1人の5人家族で参加して、妻と乳児はケージに入らずにボートプランで船の上から見学しました。
船上からでもサメはよく見えます。船長さんがサメポイントでヒモのついた謎の缶(?)を海に投げ入れると、サメたちが缶におびき寄せられてワラワラと寄ってきます。この缶を投げ入れるのもやらせてもらえるので、妻も子供も何度もやらせてもらってました。
もう一個のレビューで書きましたが、ケージプランは揺れがかなりしんどいので、酔いやすい人はボートプランで船上から見学するのがいいと思います

The North Shore Shark Adventures was a very neat and wonderful experience. The boat ride out to the shark cage took about 15-20min. The crew members really stressed about safety first and were thorough about directions. They even had a sense of humor, which makes everything better. When we reached the shark cage the crew members separated all the costumers in to two different groups and we were escorted into the shark cage that was floating in the ocean. Being in the shark cage was kind of rough. The waves would rock/bob the cage from side to side and up and down. You really had to hang on to the cage bars to obtain stability. I personally wrapped my legs and arms around the shark cage ladder, which I found to be helpful. As soon as I stuck my head under water what I saw was absolutely amazing. 15-20 sharks swimming and circling the cage, each shark was at least 6-8 feet long. It was so peaceful and serene to see these sharks in their natural habitat swimming freely. Just a quick suggestion that if you plan on swimming with the sharks you may want to schedule this event early on in your trip because cancellations may occur due to the oceans unpredictability. For safety reasons they may cancel your shark adventures but they will call you in advanced to let you know. I suggested that if you are driving to the North Shore you call them to ask about cancellations before you make the trip up north.

Paradise Cove Luau was a great cultural experience. There were many activities that got you involved with the Hawaii culture. Some of my favorites where the spear throwing, lei making, and the canoe rides in the cove. They also had special events that taught you a little bit about the Hawaiian history, like old fashion ways of fishing. The food at Paradise Cove could have had a better selection, but their fried chicken and mixed drinks were phenomenal. When it came time for the dinner show I wasn’t sure what to expect, but I definitely enjoyed the out come. The show was beautiful and told multiple stories of native legends. The costumes and stage props were extravagant and made me feel as if I was in paradise. I personally wished the show was a little bit longer but it was a great show. I would recommenced that families take their young children to watch this show because not only is it fun to watch, but its also very engaging, and can be educational.

Initially, I had hoped to book the 10:30 tour, but since I couldn't secure a reservation, I changed it to the morning and was glad to get a spot! The meeting time wasn't too early, and our meeting place, since we were staying at Trump, was the Sheraton.
We took a bus and then boarded a ferry to search for sea turtles first. The excitement when we spotted them in the beautiful sea was indescribable.
After that, we swam while snorkeling over the coral reef. Everyone wore life jackets, so even at a depth of 10 meters, it was not scary at all. The joy of swimming while seeing the coral and fish was truly a first for me and became an unforgettable memory.
The sandbar was almost at low tide, and it was really strange how far it was from the shore. I would love to participate again when I visit someday.
Breakfast was a sandwich, and the cheese was melted and really delicious.
Thank you so much for the wonderful experience!
最初は10時半のツアーに希望を入れていたのですが予約が取れず、朝に変更したら予約が取れて良かったです!
集合時間もそんなに早くなくて、トランプに宿泊の私たちの集合場所はシェラトンになりました。
バスに揺られ、その後フェリーに乗ってまずウミガメを探します。
綺麗な海の中から見つけられた時の感激ったらありません。
その後は珊瑚礁の上をシュノケーリングで泳ぎました。
みんなライフジャケットを着て泳ぐので、水深10メートルでも全然怖くありません。
珊瑚礁や魚を見ながら泳ぐ楽しさは本当に初めてで、忘れ難い思い出になりました。
サンドバーもほぼ干潮で、岸からかなり離れているのに本当に不思議でした。
またいつかまた訪れたときには、また参加したいです。
朝食はサンドウィッチでしたが、チーズもとろけていて本当においしかったです。

We participated as a family of five: two adults, two children, and one infant. Our accommodation was at Aulani, a Disney Resort. The participation date was July 22, and we opted for the deluxe package.
The shuttle vehicle was a cool van wrapped in a Wet 'n' Wild design. We were the only passengers in the van. It took about 10 minutes by car from Aulani to the location.
Upon arrival, there was a line of cars in front of the parking lot, but since we were in a shuttle, we were able to bypass that and park right in front of the entrance. There were long lines at the ticket booth and entrance gate, but the shuttle driver brought a red paper band and wrapped it around our wrists, allowing us to skip the line and enter directly.
I later learned that this time of year is busy due to local students being on their last summer break.
Before playing, I thought about storing our valuables in a locker, but there was a long line there too. Not wanting to wait, I decided to carry our valuables with me, even though it was a bit inconvenient.
All the slides looked fun, but it was crowded, and we could only do two or three of them. There were no wait time displays, making it difficult to manage our time.
For lunch, we had the BBQ buffet included in the deluxe package. I didn't have high expectations, but the BBQ meat was grilled on-site and was quite delicious. I think it would have tasted even better with some soy sauce.
My son and daughter enjoyed bodyboarding, and they seemed to have a great time.
Our return was scheduled for 3:15 PM, which felt quite early, and due to the crowds, we didn't get to enjoy as much as we had hoped, leaving us a bit unsatisfied.
Also, I intended to rent towels on-site, but there were no towel rentals available, which was a bit of a hassle. I had to make do by drying off with a hand towel and letting myself air dry.
夫婦+子供2人+乳児1人の5人家族で参加。
滞在先はディズニーアウラニ。
参加日は7/22。デラックスパッケージ。
送迎車はウェット・アンド・ワイルドのデザインのかっこいいラッピングされたバン。乗客は自分たち家族だけでした。
アウラニから現地までは車で10分程度。
現地につくと駐車場前に乗用車の列ができていましたが、送迎車なのでスルーして入口前に停めてました。
チケット売り場、入園ゲートも長蛇の列ができていましたが、送迎車の運転手が赤い紙のバンドをもってきて腕に巻いてくれて、そのまま列をスルーして入園することができました。
あとで知りましたが、この時期は現地学生の夏休み最後の時期なので混雑するんだそうです。
遊ぶ前にまず貴重品をロッカーにあずけようと思いましたが、ここも長蛇の列。並ぶのが嫌だったので、邪魔でしたが貴重品は持ち歩くことにしました。
スライダー系はどれも楽しそうでしたが、混んでいて2,3個だけしかできませんでした。待ち時間表示もないので、時間の調整も難しいです。
ランチはデラックスパッケージについてたBBQブッフェ。あまり期待してなかったけれど、BBQの肉はその場で焼いていて、なかなか美味しかったです。肉にしょうゆをつけたらもっと美味しく食べられたんじゃないかと思います。
息子と娘がボディボードをやってましたが、楽しそうでした。
帰りが3時15分とかなり早く、また混んでいたこともあり、思っていたより遊べなくて、ちょっと物足りなかったです。
それとタオルは現地でレンタルしようと思ったのですが、タオルレンタルがなくて困ってしまいました。仕方なくハンドタオルで全身を拭いて自然乾燥でなんとか乗り切りました。

I participated with my 9-year-old son and 7-year-old daughter, while my wife and baby watched from the boat. All the other participants were Americans except for our group.
After about 15 to 20 minutes of being rocked by the boat, we arrived at the shark cage. I think we had come quite far out to sea.
Finally, we entered the cage to meet the sharks, but the waves were so strong that it was difficult to observe calmly.
My son and daughter were overwhelmed by the waves and quickly retired back to the boat, leaving me to see the sharks alone.
I was able to see the sharks up close, but due to the waves, I bumped my head against the cage and collided with others, which was quite tough.
On the way back, both I and the other participants didn't seem very energetic, including myself.
It might be better if the cage were a bit larger or if there were fewer participants at a time, but I think those who are prone to seasickness should carefully consider participating.
9歳の息子と7歳の娘、37歳の自分の3人で参加。妻と赤ん坊は船の上から見学しました。
参加者は自分たちグループ以外は全員アメリカ人でした。
船に揺られること15〜20分でサメケージに到着。けっこう沖の方まで来てたと思います。
いよいよケージに入ってサメとご対面しますが、サメよりも波がすごくて、落ち着いて観察するのがむずかしかったです。
息子と娘は波にやられて早々にリタイアして船に戻り、自分ひとりでサメを見ました。
いちおうサメは間近で見られましたが、波のせいでケージに頭をぶつけたり、他の人ともぶつかったり、かなりしんどかったです。
帰りの船では自分も含め、他の参加者もあまり元気がなかったですw
もう少しケージを広くするか、一回の参加者を少なくするかすれば多少マシになるかもしれませんが、酔いやすい人は参加は慎重に検討したほうがいいと思います。

When we arrived at a port-like place after a bus ride from the hotel meeting point, we were greeted by a lively Japanese lady! We boarded the boat and chose our seats. My friend and I wore swimsuits, T-shirts, shorts, and rash guards, holding beach towels in our hands. After a brief explanation, we encountered a turtle. Then we took some photos and headed to the sandbar!
When we reached our destination, we had to walk down the stairs to the sea, but to our surprise, the waves were up to our chests, so we ended up soaking our T-shirts right from the start, haha! After a short walk, we arrived at the sandbar.
1. Those who can't swim stay at the sandbar.
2. After enjoying the sandbar, we split into those who would go snorkeling.
The sea, sky, and sandbar were so beautiful that it was breathtaking! I can't even count how many photos I took.
When it was time to return, everyone got back on the boat, and while climbing the stairs, the Japanese guide playfully said, "Let's splash!" and we all got drenched, haha! We were completely soaked, but it felt great! If you don't want to get wet, you can simply let them know, and you can avoid it. After that, we had a light snack and got back on the bus!
The air conditioning on the bus was quite cold, so it's best to prepare for the chill.
I had a fulfilling time!

We participated as a family of four, including two children (a third-year middle school student and a fourth-year elementary school student). We joined a movie location tour and a visit to Secret Island.
During the movie location tour, a Japanese guide explained the places used for filming movies and commercials while showing us the breathtaking spots on Oahu. The view of the coastline from the mountains was particularly stunning.
At Secret Island, we were able to casually experience various ocean activities, and the kids were very satisfied. They tried sea kayaking and paddling on a longboard for the first time. While opinions may vary, I appreciated that it wasn't a system where someone teaches you; instead, the equipment was just laid out for us to use freely, making it a very relaxed experience.

A car was waiting for us at the hotel at the meeting time! The person in charge of the shuttle was Mr. Yano, who is of Japanese descent. He was a very interesting person, speaking a mix of English and broken Japanese!
He had a round sticker and something like a paper band on his right arm, and after confirming the contents of the contract (which were all written in Japanese), we signed.
My friend and I requested a 9 AM pickup, and along with a Japanese family of three and a mother and child from New York, there were a total of seven of us.
When we arrived at the port and boarded the boat, the waves were really strong, and it was shaking a lot. I usually don't get motion sickness, but it was a good decision to take some anti-nausea medication!
We were called one group at a time, and it was finally time to start! Our group and the Japanese family were worried about the height, which was 45 meters. The mother and child from New York challenged the 120 meters. The view was amazing, and I felt so happy surrounded by the beautiful sky and sea!
Next time, I want to challenge either the 90 meters or 120 meters.
On the way back, Mr. Yano and I had a lively chat! It seems there are other people in charge of the shuttle as well, so those who got Mr. Yano were lucky!

Pearl Harbor is truly amazing. we must admit as Aussies, my family knew only the basics about the bombing of Pearl Harbor, After our day at Pearl Harbor we learnt and appreciated so much more.
Our tour from the moment of pick up to return was exceptional. Larry our coach driver was a wonderful guide. He was very informative on our tour of the city. Our adult & teenage kids were very impressed to see the High School that Bruno Mars went to. The drive through the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific was both moving and respectful. Driving past Hawaii State Capitol and understanding the architecture as well as Iolani Palace and Kawaiaha'o Church and stopping at the Supreme Court were a highlight. Upon arrival at Pearl Harbor, Larry explained everything clearly and we completely understood all requirements.
Visiting the Arizona Memorial was a truly moving experience, both an honour and privilege. Upon return, we headed to the bus to take us to Ford Island to step aboard the Mighty Mo (Missouri). Exploring the USS Missouri was great. While there were free guided tours available, we chose to explore on our own and had so much fun, while still learning all about this amazing vessel. To stand at the very location where the Instrument of Surrender to end World War II took place was remarkable and a moment to reflect.
We didn't get to see all of Pearl Harbor, but what we did see was amazing and we will be back on the Full Tour to see the rest and pay our respects again.

While my friends and I were in Oahu, we knew we wanted to go kayaking. We were considering maybe just renting kayaks in Waikiki where we were staying, but we were concerned about just how crowded Waikiki Beach can get. My friend found this kayaking trip at Kailua Beach and we were sold. For about $80 we received kayak rentals, snorkel gear, lunch, and shuttle service. This kayaking adventure was definitely worth it! The staff were all extremely welcoming and helpful, and the water was absolutely beautiful. I am so glad we were able to discover Kailua Beach. When I read that this trip included lunch, I expected a paper bag lunch, something like sandwiches and chips. But in reality we were given a coupon that was redeemable at four locations by the kayaking shop. We chose to have pizza at Bob's, which was delicious and filling. We did this on our last day in Oahu, so it was a great ending to our vacation.
Mahalo for the review, Sam! We are so glad that you got to chance to make it out to Kailua and try kayaking!

Hi,
I had such an amazing time on their cruise!! First of all, the staff were all amazing. They were funny, welcoming, and most importantly, love their job! They really went out of their way to ensure that we had a fantastic time! And, the food was amazing! Maybe it's about eating on the boat after swimming, but regardless, it was really good!
This cruise also gives us ample time to really explore the area... it goes to sandbar, a place where green turtles gather, and finally an hour of snorkeling by the reef. They were all amazing experiences, and I would say that it is a MUST for anyone traveling to Hawaii!
Thank you, Captain Bob and his crew!

Since it was lunchtime, I thought the depth would be about knee-high, and although there was only a small amount of sand, it was definitely there! I think it's best to check the timing, and also, since it can get murky, I believe not splashing around will help you take nicer photos!
お昼だったので、深さは膝くらいなのかなとおもったら、砂もほんの一部だったですがしっかり出てました!
ベストなタイミングを調べて、さらに、濁ってしまうので、バチャバチャしないほうがキレイに写真が撮れると思います!

I have been to Hawaii over 30 times, but I always travel individually. This time, since my daughter came along, I participated in a tour for the first time. It was great that there was a Japanese guide, so my daughter could enjoy herself comfortably.
ハワイには30回以上来ていますが、いつも個人旅行。今回は娘も一緒ということで初めてツアーに参加。日本語ガイドもいて娘も安心して楽しめよかったです。

The view from above was breathtaking, and the wind felt great! Both crew members were really handsome (laughs). It was so much fun being dropped into the sea while they said things like, "Shark bait!" and having the rope shaken!
空の上から見る景色は絶景で、風も気持ちが良かったー!
クルーの方は二人とも、めっちゃイケメンでした(笑)
「サメノエサ〜」とか言って海に落とされたり、ロープを揺らされたり、本当に楽しかった(≧∇≦)
