Oahu
We gathered in front of the marina's dock. Despite the boat being named "Sashimi II," it was a bit disappointing that no one spoke Japanese at all. I was the only Japanese participant, but if you have a little experience with fishing, you can understand how to use the equipment and the fishing techniques. I was able to grasp most of the explanations through gestures.
The bait was cut squid, and we used a simple bottom fishing setup with a two-hook rig and weights. We fished while changing points from the marina to off Waikiki and Diamond Head. The scenery was beautiful, providing double the enjoyment.
The target was the Mōngara (a type of filefish), and the crew prepared the fish we caught on board, allowing us to taste it on the way back.
マリーナの桟橋前で集合。
さしみ2号(sashimiⅡ)の船名のわりに日本語は全く通じなくてちょっと残念。
日本人参加者は自分1人だったのですが、船釣りの経験が少しあれば道具の使い方や釣り方は判ります。身振り手振りでも大体の説明は理解できました。
餌はイカの切り身、2本バリとおもりのスピニングタックルのシンプルな底釣りです。
マリーナからワイキキ沖からダイヤモンドヘッド沖までをポイントを変えながら釣ります。風景も良く、ダブルの楽しみがあります。
ターゲットはモンガラ(カワハギの仲間)で釣った魚はクルーが船内でさばいて帰りに味見が出来ました。

Aloha Mebi,
Thank you for taking the time to write this review! We are happy you and your party enjoyed yourselves, it was great having you out with us!
Mahalo,
Ohana Fun Fishing
Everyone except for my husband and me were foreigners. If you don't set the audio guide to Japanese, you won't understand the explanations at all. However, since the boat rocks a lot on the way, it's better to have motion sickness medication. It was thrilling to transfer from the boat to the submarine. Moving in the middle of the ocean to the submarine was amazing. When a sea turtle swam close to the window, I was so impressed! It was great to encounter various fish as well.
私達夫婦以外全て外国人。説明も日本語オーディオガイドにセットしないと説明が全く分からず、しかし、行きの船がとても揺れるので酔い止めの薬は、あった方が良い。船から潜水艇を乗り移る時などは感動。海のど真ん中でから、潜水艇へと移動。ウミガメが、窓の近くに泳いで来てくれた時は、すご〜い❗️と感動。
色んな魚とも出会いよかったです。
There isn't enough gratitude that I can express for the staff at the Rock-A Hula show! I came with a date, but my flight arrived in late, so my date was there, but I missed everything up to the dinner and show.
They were so accommodating ensuring my date received all the perks that were promised, and kept her company until I arrived. Then, when I got there, they even accepted my bags, and brought me food to ensure I ate enough before the show! Just great customer service.
Now the show... Just awesome. As a musician, everything was on point. The band, vocals, especially the Elvis act! Highly recommend and glad it was the first thing we did to get me back in good spirits after missing some of the action due to my flight.
Thanks staff! What a great experience!
Micki was a great tour guide! It was a beautiful experience with countless views. Handling a ATV is always a fun time. She also captured many pictures of us, made sure to get all the beautiful scenery all around us. I would absolutely recommend and cannot wait to come back!
My family loved it. We got to see dolphins turtles, and the view was amazi loved how they asked if they could dip the kids, and yes, give them all the way there was all around great experience would do it again. Kids loved it.
Everything that was listed happened, they came to pick us up on time, the equipment was in perfect shape, the small training for beginners was clear and well done.
I went with my 7-year-old daughter, and both guides where all the time paying special attention to us, to see that were ok, taking special care of us. I felt very well looked after and secure. They know what they do and are very professional.
The experience is really amazing, we saw so many fishes and a turtle.
We both loved it.
The scenery at Sandbar was exceptionally beautiful. The barbecue featured authentic hamburgers made with charcoal-grilled patties, which were delicious. During snorkeling, I was fortunate to see a sea turtle up close, which is a rare encounter.
サンドバーの風景、綺麗さは格別でした。
バーベキューは炭火焼きで本格的なハンバーグを使用したハンバーガーだったので、美味しかったです。
シュノーケリングでは、出会うことが稀なウミガメを間近に見ることができて幸運です。
Traveling by boat was quite thrilling, and it was so rocky that it would have been dangerous if I hadn't taken motion sickness medication! When flying in the sky, I was nervous at first, but everywhere I looked was a breathtaking view, creating the best memories! By the way, we weren't asked whether we would land in the water; everyone was dropped equally!
船で移動している時もかなりスリル満点で、酔い止めを飲んでいなければ危なかったなというほど揺れました!
空を飛んでいる時も、初めはドキドキしたのですが、どこをみても絶景で最高の思い出ができました!
ちなみに水に着地するかどうかは聞かれず、全員平等に落とされていました!
Adam was prompt for pick up at hotel and at Diamond head. He was informative and gave good tips about the hike. Beautiful hike
I have been to Hawaii several times, but I could only take long vacations in May and August, and it wasn't whale watching season, so I couldn't even join a tour. This time, I will be going to Hawaii in January for my honeymoon, and I first booked a whale watching tour!
I was worried because I read that there are days when you can't see them, but luckily, I was able to see a little bit!!! Since it was a mother and calf, I could see the big back and the small back alternately.
If we had seen the tail fin, I might have felt more like we actually saw a whale, but it can't be helped. I can't help but feel greedy, but it's quite rare to see wild whales, so it was a very good experience! I was also glad to see the rare view of Diamond Head and the Waikiki coastline from the sea!
The boat swayed enough to make you feel unsteady, so even if you don't usually get seasick, I think it's better to take motion sickness medication.
何度かハワイに来たことがあるのですが、5月、8月しか長期休暇が取れず、ホエールウォッチングシーズンではなかったのでツアーに参加することすら出来ませんでした。。
今回ハネムーンで1月にハワイに行くことになり、最初にホエールウォッチングツアーを予約しました!
見れない日もあると口コミにあり心配でしたが、、運良くちょっとだけ見ることが出来ました!!!
親子だったので、大きい背中と小さい背中が交互に見れました。
尾ビレが見えればクジラを見れた感をもっと感じられたのかもしれませんが、、しょうがないですね。
どうしても欲が出てしまいますが、そもそも野生の?クジラを見れることはなかなかないのでとても良い経験になりました!
海から見るダイヤモンドヘッドや、ワイキキの海岸もレアな景色も見ることが出来て良かったです!
船はヨタヨタ歩きになるぐらい揺れるので、乗り物酔いをしない方も酔い止めは飲んで行った方が良いと思います。
Thank you very much for joining our cruise. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed whale watching and the views from the ship. We hope to see you again soon. All of our staff are looking forward to your visit.
この度は私共のクルーズにお越し頂き誠に有難うございました。クジラの観測や船からの景色をお楽しみ頂けました様で大変嬉しく思います。是非またお越し下さい。スタッフ一同お待ち申し上げております。
My wife and I took this tour while staying at Waikiki in January. It was an ideal day for whale spotting conditions. The naturalist was very knowledgeable, and the boat had plenty of room for all the passengers to see the surroundings. We watched one whale surface nearer to the shore, then went out deeper by Diamondhead. Just as we were approaching a possible sighting, we saw a humpback breach and jump out of the water. It was spectacular! Highly recommend this tour! Guaranteed sightings!
I participated in whale watching with the mindset that it would be nice to see a whale since it's nature. Unfortunately, we didn't encounter any whales, but it was very enjoyable as a cruising experience. The pickup was very clear, and the staff was super cute. The performances on the boat were all in English, so I didn't understand anything, but it was strangely uplifting. The weather was cloudy, so it was a bit chilly in short sleeves.
ホエールウオッチングだけど、自然相手ですから、クジラは見れたら良いなぁ、くらいの気持ちで参加しました。
結果、残念ながらクジラには遭遇しませんでしたが、クルージングとして、とても楽しかったです(^_^)v
ピックアップの時も、とってもわかりやすく、とってもキュートなお姉さんでした。
船内のパフォーマンスは全て英語のため、全然意味が解らないのに、テンションが上がってしまうのは不思議ですねwww
天候が曇りだったため、半袖ではちょっと肌寒かったです。
Thank you very much for joining our cruise. We are sorry that you were unable to enjoy whale watching, but we are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed the morning cruise. We hope you will visit us again. All of our staff are looking forward to welcoming you back.
この度は私共のクルーズにお越し頂き誠に有難うございました。
クジラの観測をお楽しみ頂けなかったのが残念ですが、朝のクルーズをお楽しみ頂けました様で大変嬉しく思います。是非またお越し下さい。スタッフ一同お待ち申し上げております。
The scenery is so magnificent that it is chosen as a filming location for movies. Riding the buggy from various angles allowed for a lot of movement and enjoyment. However, there was a bit too much time left on the return trip, and if it's just the buggy attraction, you might find yourself with too much free time. I think it would be good to plan other experience attractions at Kualoa on the same day.
映画ロケ地として選ばれるほどの壮大な景色なかに入ることができる。
色々な角度からバギーをのることで、移動距離も多く、楽しめた。
ただ、少し帰りの時間が十分余裕があり、バギーだけのアトラクションだと時間を持て余す。
他に同日にクアロアでの体験アトラクションを計画するといいと思う
Such a great experience! We got to see so many places in this tour. I would recommend it to anyone who loves movies or even just nature. The views are amazing! I would definitely use this company again in the future!
This time, my family and I participated in the dinner show "Rock-a-Hula" for the first time. After having dinner, we watched the show. First, regarding the dinner, there were a decent number of dishes, so I think you'll feel full. However, the meat was a bit tough and didn't taste very good. As for the show, the seats we had were excellent, so we had a great view. There was hula dancing, and impersonators of Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson, which made it quite lively and enjoyable. It seems that there are options to just attend the show, so I think it would be nice to have a meal in Waikiki and then enjoy the performance.
今回、初めてディナーショーの「ロック・ア・フラ」に家族で参加しました。
ディナーを頂いてから、ショーの観戦という流れでした。まず、ディナーですが品数もそこそこありお腹いっぱいにはなると思います。ただし、お肉は固めであまり美味しいと感じませんでした。ショーの方は、観戦した席が大変良かったので、よく見えました。フラダンスあり、エルビスプレスリー・マイケルジャクソンのそっくりさんのショーがあったり結構盛り上がり、楽しめました。ショーだけもあるようなので、ワイキキあたりで好きな食事をし、観賞するのもありだと思います。
Thank you very much for bringing your family to the Rockaflava Original Waikiki Luau Buffet & Show. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed your experience. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you back when you visit Hawaii again.
この度はロッカフラオリジナルワイキキルアウブッフェ&ショーに御家族でご来場頂きまして、誠に有難うございます。楽しめて頂けたご様子で、私共も大変嬉しく思っております。またハワイにお越しの際には、ご来場頂けますよう、スタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げます。
It was exciting to see the actual locations where the movie was filmed spread out before my eyes. Please give it a try. The bus tour goes directly to the location, so you don't have to walk on mountain trails, so it's perfect for families with children.
Beautiful boat ride along Honolulu, Waikiki and the crater Volcano. The crew made sure everyone on the boat saw each whale sighting and what direction they were sited in. We saw them 5 times on our excursion.
I thought we would head out to the open sea, but we actually progressed to a distance where we could see land from Waikiki Beach to just past Diamond Head. I was half in doubt, wondering if we would really see whales this close. I thought the chances of seeing them were even lower than seeing the aurora, so I didn't have high expectations, but we did see them. Two whales? showed us their spouts multiple times, and the boat followed them closely. Although we didn't see their tails or large bodies, I was satisfied. I couldn't believe we could see them so close to shore; it felt like they were either trained or robotic. Since it was a large boat, there was little rocking, so I didn't have to worry about seasickness.
沖の方に出るのかと思ったらワイキキビーチからダイヤモンドヘッドの先あたりまで、陸が見える距離を進み、こんな近くに鯨が出るの??と半信半疑でした。出現確率もオーロラより低いんじゃないの?とあまり期待していませんでしたが、見れました。2頭?が何度も潮吹きを見せてくれて、船も追いかけるように進んでくれました。尾びれや大きな姿は見れませんでしたが満足しました。こんなに近海で見れるなんて、飼いならしているかロボットか?と思うほどでした。大きな船なので、揺れも少なくて船酔いの心配なし。
Thank you very much for joining our cruise. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed whale watching and the views from the boat. We hope to see you again soon. All of our staff are looking forward to your visit.
この度は私共のクルーズにお越し頂き誠に有難うございました。クジラの観測や船からの景色をお楽しみ頂けました様で大変嬉しく思います。是非またお越し下さい。スタッフ一同お待ち申し上げております。
It's a show that delights tourists. You can enjoy it with dinner included. The shows featuring Presley and Michael Jackson were a hit even with Americans, and the audience was singing along.
観光客に喜ばれるショーです。ディナー付きで楽しめます。プレスリーとマイケルジャクソンのショーはアメリカ人にとってもウケて、客席の方々歌ってました。
Thank you very much for attending the Rockafura Rockin' Show. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed the performances of Elvis, Michael, and the Hawaiian show. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you back when you visit Hawaii again.
この度はロッカフラ ロッキンショーにご来場頂きまして、誠に有難うございます。エルビスやマイケルそして、ハワイアンショーなど楽しめて頂けたご様子で大変嬉しく思っております。またハワイにお越しの際には、ご来場頂けますよう、スタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げます。
Food and service was good. Views were outstanding. Nice entertainment.
This tour covered all the bases and then some. I am very thankful we chose the guided tour option, the guides really know it all! Mahalo E Noa , we will be back hopefully soon!
This was the best luau! I would highly recommend this experience! The family and I really enjoyed this celebration and would definitely come back next time we are on island!
The activities were great but the whole staff is awemazing!
This is one of my favorite activities we have done in Hawaii. I think everyone should do it at least once in life Both my husband and I love it! We definitely will do again next time we are in Hawaii.
I want to shout out to the stuffs here, they are super friendly and knowledgeable.
Aloha LL! Thank you so much for joining us for a kayak and snorkel adventure! And thank you for taking the time to leave such an awesome review! We really appreciate it. So stoked to hear that kayaking and snorkeling with us is in your Hawai'i highlights, and especially glad to hear that our staff treated you well and hopefully contributed to you having a great experience. I speak for our entire team when I say it was our pleasure to have you join us and we hope the next time is soon! Mahalo!
An airplane was flying overhead, and I was able to take some wonderful photos!
A few groups went offshore, and since there is a sequence of activities, it's better for those who get seasick to take motion sickness medication in advance.
上空を飛行機が飛んでいて
素敵な写真が撮れました!
何組かで沖合に行き、アクティビティの順番があるので
船酔いする人は酔い止めは飲んでおいた方がいい。
Our quide, Dexter was excellent. He was very thoughtful and professional. He made an otherwise rainy, gloomy day a fun day. The tour gave us a great overview.
Glad we were able to put some sunshine in your day! Mahalo for joining us!
After the bus arrived, there was an explanation by a Japanese person before entry, which was very good. I was also satisfied with the pool itself. The all-you-can-drink option was great as well.
バス到着後、入場までの間に日本人による説明があり、非常によかったです。プール自体も満足しました。飲み放題もよかったです
I was relieved that the shuttle bus was on time. The explanation about the dolphins was easy to understand, and there were no issues. Overall, I was satisfied.
送迎バスは時間通りで安心しました。イルカについても説明が分かりやすく、問題はありませんでした。全体としても満足しました
It was the best experience.
I was a bit anxious since it was my first time snorkeling, but I felt that it was a tour where beginners could participate with peace of mind because the guide was very supportive.
Hanauma Bay is very beautiful, and I was able to see a lot of fish. The swimming time is about an hour, which was just right for me as a beginner.
*For those who regularly engage in water sports, it might feel a bit short.
I think it's essential for participants in the winter season and beginners in snorkeling to rent a wetsuit.
In winter, the seawater is a bit cold, so the wetsuit helps alleviate that, and it provides buoyancy, allowing you to focus on snorkeling with peace of mind.
I will definitely book this tour again when I go to Hawaii.
最高の体験でした。
初めてのシュノーケリングで不安もありましたが、
ガイドさんがフォローしてくださるので初心者でも安心して参加できるツアーだと感じました。
ハナウマ湾はとても綺麗で魚もたくさん見ることができ、
遊泳時間は1時間程度ですが、初心者の私にはちょうど良い時間でした。
※普段からマリンスポーツをされている方には、もしかしたら少し物足りないかも
また冬シーズンの参加の方、シュノーケリング初心者の方は、
ウェットスーツのレンタル必須だと思います。
冬は海水が少し冷たいのでその緩和と、
浮力があるので安心してシュノーケリングに集中できます。
またハワイに行く時はこのツアーを必ず予約します。
I couldn't enjoy myself freely because I was with people I didn't know well. I would like to have a bit more free time. Although we got in early, we could only swim for about an hour, so I couldn't go to the places I wanted to. I didn't think Hanauma Bay was more beautiful than it was four years ago. It was nice that the fish were used to people and didn't swim away. The guide was kind and helpful. Since I didn't need water or snacks, I would have preferred a lower price or at least to have about two hours of free time.
初めての人たちと一緒だったので自由にできなかった。ある程度自由時間がほしい。早く入れたが実質泳げるのが1時間程度なので、行きたいところに行けなかった。4年前より、ハナウマ湾が綺麗だとは思えなかった。魚は慣れていたので逃げないのは良かった。ガイドさんは親切で良かった。水もお菓子もいらないので、もう少し安くするか、せめて2時間くらいは自由にしたかった。
