I participated with my children, who are in first and third grade. The pickup vehicle from the hotel to the port was an open bus without windows, which was tough for me since I'm sensitive to exhaust fumes, and it was also very bumpy, making me feel nauseous.
On the way to the submarine by boat from the port, I was excited to see the submarine surfacing. The guide's explanations were in Japanese, which made it easy to focus on searching for fish (those who spoke other languages used headphones).
Depending on where you sit, the view can vary slightly, which can be a pleasant surprise or a bit disappointing. Although it was expensive for our family of four to participate, I’m glad we did. I’m satisfied.
小1と小3の子供を連れて参加。
ホテルから港に向かう時の迎えの車が窓のないオープンなバスで、排気ガスが苦手な私には道中がきつく、さらにすごく揺れたので酔いそうだった。
港から船で潜水艦に向かう際に、これから乗る潜水艦が浮上してくる様を見れて気分が盛り上がる。ガイドの説明が日本語で行われたので、分かりやすく魚探しに集中できた(他言語の方はイヤホン)。
座る席がどこかによって、見える景色も微妙に違うので得したり、悔しくなったり。
家族4人で申し込むと高い値段になるけど、参加して良かった。満足。

Before checking in, there was an explanation in Japanese, which helped us anticipate our activities until we left. There are paid lockers, but you can keep your belongings nearby when interacting with the dolphins. By the way, the showers only have cold water and are located outside the changing room. Since we had the first session in the morning, after it ended, we changed in the changing room, put our swimsuits and towels in the locker, and strolled around the park.
The changing room is not as clean as those in Japan and allows shoes, but it is spacious enough for two people with a child, and there are shelves to place your belongings. If you plan to purchase photos or DVDs, I recommend entering the water at the end of the line, as you will be well-captured by the camera.
This is an activity suitable for small children. My child, who just turned three, seemed to enjoy it and made wonderful memories of Hawaii, saying they kissed the dolphin.
受付する前に日本語での説明があったので、帰るまでの行動が想定できてよかったです。
有料ロッカーがありますが、イルカと触れあうときはすぐそばに置いておけます。ちなみにシャワーは水のみで、更衣室の外です。私たちは朝イチの会だったので、終わってから更衣室で着替えたあとに、水着やタオルをロッカーに入れて、パーク内をぶらつきました。
更衣室は土足ですし日本ほどキレイなものではないですが、子供と二人で入っても余裕の広さで、荷物をおく台もあります。
写真やDVDを購入されるつもりの方は、水に入るときに列の最後に入ると、カメラによく映りますので、おすすめします。
小さいお子様向けのアクティビティです。3才になったばかりのうちの子は楽しめたようで、イルカさんとちゅーした、とハワイの良い思い出になったようです。

We participated in a company trip with eight people in the 120m and 150m groups. Although we registered by height, we were able to travel on the same bus and board the cruiser together. We were a bit anxious arriving late due to Hawaii time, but it was amazing!
We went up like on a lift, and then smoothly landed on the boat with just our lower bodies. The scenery and the cruise along the way were delightful, and the photos I took from up in the sky turned out fantastic (since I took them myself). We talked about wanting to do this again next time! Thank you very much!

Dan was the best. We had first class service the whole trip. Dan went out of his way to make sure the kids, as well as the adults, were comfortable in the water and we all had a great time because of the small group size. It was almost as if we had a personalized one on one tour. Snorkeling was great the day we went, we saw tons of fish! Everything from a parrot fish to schools of colorful little fish... and how could I possibly forget my daughters favorite, this little silver looking stick fish!

We had so much fun! The kids could not have had a better time. We were picked up promptly at our hotel in a clean and accommodating vehicle. We were given information about people, places, and things that we were passing on our way to the Bay to snorkel. Upon arriving at the Bay we were escorted in, past all lines, to watch a short information movie, and then taken down to the Bay via tram, as not to have to walk. Upon arrival to the actual Bay we were given instructions on how to wear, and use all the provided safety equipment. Upon making sure that we were completely comfortable, the the fun of snorkeling ensued... We had a great time.

The view was amazing at sunset and besides my horse stopping to eat all the bushes (that was my fault for not taking charge) everything went smoothly. 10 out of 10 would do again!

I participated with my colleagues from work! When I come to Hawaii, I definitely want to go into the ocean! I joined this activity because I wanted to snorkel in the beautiful sea!
The ocean in Hawaii is really beautiful! It's just so blue! We cruised on a boat for a while to our destination. There were unlimited soft drinks, and since it was early in the morning, we also had breakfast. It was the best to feel the nice breeze while gliding over the beautiful sea and sipping juice!
When we arrived at our destination, everyone joined in the search for dolphins! I was so happy to be the first to spot one! There were baby dolphins too, which made the excitement even greater!
After dolphin watching, we all went snorkeling. I never expected to encounter a sea turtle! It felt like we were swimming together!
There were so many fish, and I had no fear of the ocean at all! In the waters of Japan, it feels dark and a bit scary...
After thoroughly enjoying snorkeling, we had lunch! Being able to drink alcohol made it truly the best!
Above all, having a guide in Japanese allowed us to learn about the habits and knowledge of dolphins and sea turtles!
I want to go again!

I'm not good with heights! Plus, there was nothing beneath my feet, and the height I chose was a maximum of 180 meters! However, it felt great. The view of Waikiki and Diamond Head spread out below was breathtaking. The sensation of floating up on the updraft was something I had never experienced before.
The splash into the sea at the end was perfectly timed, and even though the crew couldn't speak Japanese and half of the guests were American, I had no problem enjoying myself without speaking English. I definitely recommend going for a higher altitude with a longer flight time.
高いところは苦手!しかも足下にはなにもなく、選んだ高さも最大の180m!
いや、しかし、気持ちよかったです。眼下に広がるワイキキの街とダイヤモンドヘッド。上昇気流に乗ってふわっと浮き上がるような感覚は生まれて初めてでした。
終わり間際の海ポチャも絶妙のさじ加減で、クルーは日本語を話せずゲストも半分アメリカ人でしたが、英語を話せなくてもまったく問題なく楽しめました。

We participated as a family of four (with children aged 2 and 5). The 5-year-old was thrilled to be able to kiss a dolphin. The 2-year-old was too scared to do it, but we were able to purchase a photo of them touching the dolphin. It was a fun experience that you can't easily have in Japan. They also provide transportation to Waikiki, which is convenient. I think it would be even more family-friendly if there were a course that included a stop at Kahala Mall on the way back.
家族4人(子供2歳と5歳)で参加しました。イルカとKISSができて5歳児は大喜びでした。2歳児は怖がってできませんでしたが、タッチしている写真を購入できました。日本ではなかなかできない経験なので楽しかったです。ワイキキまで送迎もしてくれますので便利かと思います。帰りにカハラモールによるコースもあればよりファミリー層に便利かと思います。

The day we participated was cloudy, so I was worried, but as we went further out, we started to see clear skies.
It's really strange to have a sandy beach even though we're offshore. The corals were large, and we saw a lot of fish. We even got to see a sea turtle, which was very satisfying!
It was beautiful enough, but I think it would have been even more stunning on a clear day. I want to try again when I go to Hawaii!
The guide's explanations were easy to understand and very kind! The sandwich we had on the way back was also delicious.

The weather was a bit off, but I was still able to see sea turtles and go down to the beautiful ocean. On the contrary, because it rained, I was able to see a lovely rainbow.
My first snorkeling experience was possible even though I can't swim! I could see the fish and coral swimming in the clear ocean.
Breakfast was a very simple sandwich and snacks, but maybe because we were on the boat, it tasted delicious.
It was quite cold riding the bus back to Waikiki for an hour while still wet. It would be better to have a few towels to lay on the seat and cover yourself with. I warmed up with a shower as soon as I got to the hotel.
However, since we returned around noon, we had plenty of time to play in the afternoon.
Overall, I was satisfied.
ちょっとお天気がイマイチでしたが、それでもウミガメにも会え、キレイな海に下りることもできました。逆に雨が降ったせいで綺麗な虹を見ることもできました。
人生初のシュノーケル体験は、泳げなくてもできました!透き通った海の中に泳ぐ魚たちと珊瑚を見ることができます。
朝食はすごく簡易的なサンドイッチとスナックですが、船の上だからか美味しく感じました。
濡れたままバスに乗り1時間かけてワイキキへ戻るので、かなり寒かったです。タオルは座席に敷くものとかけるものでいくつかあった方がいいです。ホテルに着いてすぐシャワーで温まりました。
でも、お昼頃には戻るので午後もたっぷり遊べます。
トータル的には満足でした。

I went to Hawaii for my first overseas trip. I was torn between Guam and Hawaii, but I decided to go to Hawaii since I was looking forward to enjoying my summer vacation. The day before, I did a little snorkeling at Heaven's Beach, but snorkeling at Hanauma Bay was a completely different kind of fun. Seeing the round, intricate shape of Hanauma Bay, I was moved by the clarity of the water and the beauty of the coral before even getting in. Watching the story of Hanauma Bay's creation and the ecosystem video made me realize that it is a place that is carefully protected.
Up close, the water was truly transparent, and it was an emerald green sea that I had never seen in Japan. As soon as I got in, there were lots of corals and many fish. Thanks to the veteran guide, I felt a sense of security and was able to see a sea turtle, which is not something you can easily encounter. Because of the guide, we were able to visit snorkeling spots that were just on the edge, as well as areas with incredible transparency that are far from the beach and hard to reach. I was really satisfied. Snorkeling at Hanauma Bay was an experience I will never forget because of the clarity and beauty of the sea. I had such a great experience that if anyone around me is going to Hawaii, I would definitely recommend snorkeling at Hanauma Bay. Thank you very much.

This was my first trip to Hawaii, and I chose this tour because it was the most popular!
First, I got on the shuttle bus. The instructions said, "Look for staff in blue T-shirts," but in reality, I was called by someone in a different outfit. During the ride, there was a continuous English guide until we reached the port, and I couldn't understand anything... I wished there had been a Japanese option.
Once we arrived at the port, I was relieved to find staff who spoke Japanese. We first headed to the sandbar, where we snorkeled and played volleyball. It was very beautiful, but I felt the water was murkier than I expected. I didn't see any marine life.
After gathering together, it was time for lunch! We were given buns with cheese and a hamburger patty, and we could add our favorite toppings. As someone who is picky, I really appreciated this. There were also pineapples and nachos. It was very delicious.
After that, we headed to a spot where we could see sea turtles. I was able to spot a few turtles popping their heads up. I heard there were manta rays, but they seemed to be on the opposite side, so I was disappointed that I couldn't see them.
Next, we snorkeled near a large coral reef! There were many fish here. However, the water was murkier than I expected, and it might have been clearer in Okinawa... which was a bit disappointing. The guide explained that the first 15 people who entered had a higher chance of swimming with sea turtles. I had given up hope since I entered later, but then I saw a sea turtle!! I was able to swim with it, and it was an emotional experience! It became a precious memory!
As others have mentioned, it was very cold on the bus and when we got out of the water, so a jacket is necessary! Also, sunscreen is a must!
初ハワイにつき、一番人気との事で選びました!!
まずは迎えのバスに乗ってりました。
説明書きには『青いTシャツのスタッフが目印』と書いてありましたが、実際には違う服装の方から名前を呼ばれました。
車内では港に着くまで英語でガイドがひたすらあり、全くわからず…日本語でもあれば良かったと思いました。
港に着いてからは日本語対応のスタッフさんがいたので安心しました。
まずはサンドバーに向かい、シュノーケルをしたり、バレーボールをしたり。
とてもキレイでしたが、思っていたより水が濁っていた印象。生物はなにも見れませんでした。
集合がかかったので向かうと、ランチ!
バンズにチーズとハンバーグが乗った状態で配られ、自分で好きな具を挟んで食べるスタイル。好き嫌いの多い私にとってはとてもありがたかったです。その他にパイナップルとナチョスがありました。
とても美味しかったです。
その後、ウミガメがいるスポットに向かいました。ピョコっと顔を出すウミガメが度々発見出来ました。マンタがいたと声は聞こえましたが、自分とは反対側だった様で見る事が出来ず残念でした。
次は大きな珊瑚礁の付近でシュノーケル!
ここには魚も沢山いました。ただ、ここでも海は思っていたより濁っていて、沖縄の方がキレイだったかも…少し残念でした。
先に入った15人ぐらいはウミガメと泳げる可能性が高いと説明があり。
最後の方に入った為諦めていましたが、ウミガメが!!一緒に泳ぐ事ができ、感動!
貴重な体験となりました!!
他の方も書いている様に、バスの中と、海から上がった時はとても寒かったので上着は必要です!!また日焼け止めも必須です!

We booked a tour based on my husband's wish to ride the water slide, even though he can't swim. There were three options to choose from: a deluxe course with a barbecue lunch, a course with unlimited soft drinks, and a one-day pass. We opted for the one-day pass only.
We boarded an international Robart's bus filled with participants from various tours and headed straight to Wet 'n' Wild Hawaii...
As soon as we arrived, we were greeted by numerous giant water slides! Excited, we quickly entered the park. We rented a coin locker (large enough for two backpacks) for $18 (with $5 refunded after use) and stuffed our belongings inside before heading to the nearest water slide.
The only downside was that we had to carry our own inflatable rings up to the starting point on the stairs, but the slides themselves were thrilling and incredibly fun.
Perhaps because we visited in September, the park wasn't too crowded, and we were able to ride without much waiting. We rode the same slide almost three times each! The only tiring part was carrying the rings to the starting point, but it was truly a lot of fun. There aren't facilities like that in Japan.
If we have time during our stay in Hawaii, I would definitely want to go again!
We were able to buy lunch at noon without much waiting, so the one-day pass was more than sufficient.
泳げないくせにウォタースライダーに乗りたいという主人の希望で、ツアーを申し込みました。
バーベキューランチ付のデラックスコース、ソフトドリンクが飲み放題付のコース、1日パスのみのコースと3種類から選べるのですが、私たちは1日パスのみにしました。
いろいろなツアーから参加した国際色豊かなRobart'sバスに乗合いし、一路、ウェット・アンド・ワイルド・ハワイへ・・・
着いた途端、目に入ったのはたくさんの巨大なウォータースライダー!!
テンション上げ上げで、早速、園内へ。
コインロッカー(大:リュック2個分)を$18で借り($5は、使用後返却してくれます)に荷物を押しこみ、いざ、一番近くにあったウォータースライダーへ行きました。
自分達で使用する浮き輪は、自分達で階段の上にあるスタート地点まで運ばなくてはいけないのが難点でしたが、スライダー自体は、どれもこれもスリル満点で本当に楽しかったです。
行ったのが9月だったからか園内に人はそんなに多くなく、ほとんど並ばずに、どんどん乗れました。同じスライダーに、ほぼ3回ずつ乗りました!
ただただ、やっぱりスタート地点まで浮き輪を運ぶことだけがしんどかったですが、本当にとても楽しかったです。
日本でもあれほどの施設はないですね。
ハワイでの滞在中に時間がある場合は、また是非行きたいです!
12時のランチにも殆ど並ぶこともなく、すんなりと買うことができたので、一日パスで十分でした。

This time, I participated in this tour because the sea in Heaven was not at low tide. I joined with a light heart, and I'm really glad I did. First of all, the instructors, a couple, were very kind and attentive. Although I had some snorkeling experience, it had been a while, so having the explanation in Japanese was a great help. If you're not confident in English, I highly recommend this! They stay with you throughout the snorkeling, so I think even children can enjoy it. The tour is only available on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, but if you have the chance, you should definitely participate. They provide everything except for swimwear, and there's also a pick-up service to the hotel. It's okay even if you're not confident in snorkeling or can't swim! It was a pity that I didn't encounter any sea turtles (I snorkeled in the afternoon, but I heard there were turtles in the morning), but that's just luck... Instead, there were plenty of fish, and I swam for nearly an hour without getting bored. You might get tired occasionally, but if you do, you can return to the beach early and take a nap while resting. After snorkeling, we relaxed a bit while eating snacks, which was also very nice! Please give it a try!! I also want to challenge myself again to see a sea turtle when I come back to Hawaii. I'm truly grateful to the instructors.
今回、天国の海が干潮ではないためこちらのツアーに参加しました。軽い気持ちで参加したのですが、参加して本当良かったです。まずインストラクターの御夫婦が本当優しく丁寧でシュノーケリングの経験はあったものの久しぶりだったので説明が日本語だったのが助かりました。英語に自信がない方は是非!!またシュノーケリングの間も常に一緒にいて導いてくれるのでお子様でも楽しめると思います。ツアーは月水木金しか参加が出来ませんが機会があれば是非参加して欲しいツアーです。ツアーは水着着用以外、すべて準備してくれます、またホテルまで送迎がついています。シュノーケリングに自信がない方、泳げない方でも大丈夫です!!ウミガメに遭遇出来なかったのが残念でしたが(私は午後にシュノーケリングしたのですが、午前はウミガメはいたとのこと)これは運なので・・・そのかわり、魚が一杯いて一時間近く泳いだのですが飽きなかったです。たまに疲れますが、疲れた方は先に浜辺に帰って休みながら昼寝も出来ます。シュノーケリングの後はお菓子を食べながら、少しゆっくりします。それもとても良かったです!是非参加してみてください!!私もまたハワイに来たらウミガメに会える様、再チャレンジしたいと思います。インストラクターの御夫婦には本当感謝しております。

This was the best part of the trip! Brody was a great pilot and he was great telling us about Oahu. We are excited to come back with the rest of our family so they can experience the island from this view. This was a great way to end the trip. Love love loved this!! Highly recommend!
Hey Tracy - Many thanks for the great review. Brodi is a gem, eh? I'm glad you flew with us and thanks again for sharing your comments.

The Leis were absolutely beautiful! The looked fresh and smelled wonderful! The were also huge!! Plus for us! We received many compliments while wearing them. Our greeter was very kind and was there right when we got off our flight. She answered any questions we had and helped guide us to baggage claim. I would use this service again. Amazing!! Highly recommend!

The Luau was very rushed. I did not have the opportunity to complete all the crafts while also watching and participating in the events. I would have liked if my bus had arrived earlier to give my family time to enjoy all the Luau had to offer. The food was mediocre. We loved the headbands and bracelets. The view from the Luau was absolutely beautiful.

The tour began with a punctual pick-up at the pre-specified location. Our driver, Marlon, was very professional, friendly and very knowledgeable! Upon our arrival at the Pearl Harbor, he gave us detailed instructions about the timeline of our visit. He advised on how we could make best use of our time there with visiting the different sites. All went very smoothly!

We attended this trip in September 2014, & from the start the staff were fun, knowledgeable & helpful. The sea was a bit choppy as we had the 10-00 am trip, but with Gravol inside, no issues here.
The ocean was crystal clear. the cage was a bit buffeted, due to waves, but this did not spoil our enjoyment of seeing sharks at close quarters, in their environment.
We saw around 15 sharks, & thought this was brilliant. would highly recommend.

I was looking forward to the luau. I had heard that there were few Japanese guests and that it was English only, but it was disappointing that the staff who assisted us made a clear unpleasant face and spoke to other staff about how troublesome we were. Even though I couldn't perfectly understand English, I got the gist of it.
I also received a simple tattoo, and the service for that was good. The show was very impressive and wonderful, and since we had deluxe seats where food was served, it was great.
The $24 card you receive upon entry might be a good deal for those who drink alcohol, but for those who don't, you can use the remaining amount at the concession stand, although it closes early after the show, so I recommend using it before the show starts.
We walked from the nearby Aulani, and it took less than 10 minutes. If you go before 4:30 PM, you will have to wait outside. The leis you receive at the entrance (men receive kukui leis, and women receive flower leis) cannot be taken back to Japan, so I wish I had requested a kukui instead.
楽しみにしていたルアウ。日本人の利用者が少なく、英語ONLYとは聞いていましたが、対応してくれたスタッフがあからさまに嫌な顔をして他のスタッフに私たちの担当になって面倒くさい~と話しかけていたので残念でした。英語がパーフェクトに聞き取れなくともニュアンスでわかりました。
簡易タトゥーも施していただきましたが、こちらの対応はよかったです。
ショーはとっても迫力があり素晴らしく、食事もサーブしていただけるデラックス席でしたので良かったです。
入場の際にいただける24ドル分のカード、お酒を飲まれる方にはお得かもしれませんが、お酒を飲まない人は、残りを売店で使えますがショー終了後は早めに閉まってしまうので、ショーが始まるまでに使うことをお勧めします。
近隣のアウラニから歩いたので、10分かかりませんでした。
16:30前に行くと外で待つことになります。入口でもらえるレイ(男性はククイレイ、女性はフラワーレイ)日本にはお花を持ち帰れないので、ククイを希望するとよかったなと思いました。
Thank you for using our services.
We apologize for any discomfort caused by the staff's response.
We will instruct the local staff and strive to improve our services in the future.
Thank you for sharing your experience.

On my first trip to Hawaii, I decided to join a tour because it was difficult to travel far on my own. Even though the hotel I stayed at was quite local, they came to pick me up at the front desk. Both Chieko, who came to pick me up, and Dan, the guide, were very kind. Dan speaks fluent Japanese, so I think even those who don't understand English can participate with peace of mind. During the round trip, they shared various recommendations for delicious restaurants and information about the towns we passed through. They also provided information about the places we planned to visit the next day, which was very helpful.
After arriving at Hanauma Bay, we matched our fins and masks. They had a lot of sizes available, so I could use one that fit me well. They also took care of our valuables, and each person was lent a mat. The scenery at Hanauma Bay was stunning, and I was already moved before even entering the water. The underwater view was also very beautiful. A friend who joined me was snorkeling for the first time, but the guide was always there to support us, so we were able to enjoy it. We swam quite a bit while searching for sea turtles, and my friend was a bit tired, but was very impressed when they finally saw a sea turtle. After coming out of the water, there was even a service with snacks and water. It was truly fun. We were picked up at noon and could return by evening, so there was time for dinner and shopping afterward, making it a great option for those with a short stay.
There are many pigeons on the sandy beach of Hanauma Bay, but be careful! If you feed even one snack, they will gather around and perch on your arms, leaving you scratched up!
初めてのハワイ旅行で、個人で遠くまでの移動が大変だったので参加して見ました。泊まっていたホテルが、かなりローカルホテルだったのにホテルのフロントまで迎えにきてもらえました。迎えに来てくれたちえこさんも、ガイドのダンさんもとても親切でした。ダンさんは、日本語ペラペラなので、英語が解らない人でも安心して参加できると思います。送迎の往復では、美味しいオススメのお店や通る町などについて色々教えて頂けました。翌日に訪れる予定の場所の情報なども教えて頂けました。とても役にたちました。ハナウマ湾に到着後にフィンやマスクを合わせます。サイズも沢山持ってきてくれているので自分にあったものを使えました。貴重品なども預かって貰えるし、一人に一つゴザを貸して貰えます。ハナウマ湾は、とにかく景色が綺麗で海に入る前から感動しっぱなしでした。海の中もとても綺麗でした。一緒に参加した友人が、シュノーケル初めてでしたが、ずっとガイドさんがフォローしてくれていたので、楽しめることが出来ました。ウミガメを探すのに結構泳ぎ、友人は少し疲れてましたが、初めて見たウミガメにとても感動していました。海からあがるとお菓子とお水のサービスまでありました。本当に楽しかったです。お昼にピックアップで夕方には帰って来れるので、帰ってからディナーや買い物に行く時間もあるので、短い滞在のかたにもオススメです。
ハナウマ湾の砂浜には沢山鳩がいますが、お菓子を一つでもあげてしまうと沢山集まってきて腕などにとまり傷だらけになるのでご注意!
