Oahu
I participated with my 4-year-old and 6-year-old children. I was hoping to see various fish and, if lucky, a sea turtle. On the day of the event, while on the boat heading to Atlantis, we were able to see wild dolphins on the way there and a whale on the way back (the whale was quite far away, but the dolphins were very close).
There was an explanation in Japanese, and we were not too far from Waikiki Beach, where we saw many fish and, finally, the sea turtle. We even spotted a small shark, which made the kids enjoy the experience throughout. The boat was comfortable, but the air conditioning was a bit chilly, so having a light jacket might be a good idea.
4歳、6歳の子供達と参加しました。色々なお魚や運良くウミガメが見れたら嬉しいなぁと思っていましたが、いざ当日参加したらアトランティスに向かう迄の船内で行きに野生のイルカと帰りに鯨を見る事が出来ました。(鯨はだいぶ離れた距離.イルカはかなり至近距離でした)
日本語での説明もありワイキキビーチからそんなに離れていない海底で沢山の魚そして念願のウミガメ、小さいサイズでしたがサメも見る事が出来子供達は終始楽しんでいました。
船内も快適でしたが、やはり海外エアコン?空調?が少し肌寒かったので羽織りがあると良いかもです。
Thank you for your wonderful review! We are so happy to hear that you and your children enjoyed your submarine adventure with us! Diving in a real submarine and seeing marine life up close is truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and we are glad you were able to see such incredible marine creatures! We hope to welcome you and your family again soon. Thank you!
あなたの素晴らしいレビューのためのマハロ!私たちはあなたとあなたの子供が私たちと一緒にあなたの潜水艦の冒険を楽しんだのを聞いてとてもうれしいです!実際の潜水艦でダイビングしながら海洋生物を間近で見るのは、実に一生に一度の経験であることが多く、信じられないほどの海洋生物を見ることができたことを嬉しく思います!私たちはあなたとあなたの家族をすぐに再び歓迎することを望みます。マハロ!
When I inquired during the application process, I was told there would be no Japanese staff on-site, which made me anxious. However, there were Japanese versions of the consent forms available. The driver for the transfer was kind, and although the local staff explained things in English, I managed to get by (laughs). I thought I could just mimic the other participants for how to ride, and I ended up skiing last every time. It became a wonderful memory.
申し込み時に聞いた際、現地には日本語スタッフがいない。。との事で 不安でしたが、同意書等は日本語版の用意がありました。送迎のドライバーさんも優しい方でしたし、現地スタッフの説明は英語でしたが、なんとかなりました(笑)乗り方等は他の参加者の真似をすれば良いと思い、毎回最後に滑りました。良い思い出になりました。
The location has been used for filming movies like Jurassic Park, and the two-hour horseback riding course offered breathtaking views, providing an experience that is hard to come by in Japan. If I were to point out a downside, I highly recommend the two-hour horseback riding course, but afterward, you might experience some soreness, which could slightly limit your movements the following day. Additionally, while a guide accompanies you, there was no discussion about the movie filming. The guide's role is to bring the horse back if it lags behind or strays off the path, using a whistle or whip, but during that time, the horse may suddenly start trotting, so it's best to be prepared for that jolt.
ジュラシックパーク等の映画ロケ地となっており、2時間の乗馬コースでしたが、雄大な景色は圧巻で、日本では得難い経験をすることが出来ました。敢えて、問題点をあげれば、乗馬は2時間コースを是非おすすめ致しますが、終了後、お尻が痛くなるため、翌日以降の動きに若干制約が出るかもしれません。また、ガイドの方が同伴してくれますが、映画ロケ等の話は全く有りませんでした。ガイドの役割として、馬が遅れた場合や道を逸れた場合に、口笛や鞭で引き戻してくれるのですが、その際に、突然馬が小走りになるので、その衝撃に備えていただいた方が良いと思います。
I took a deep breath, ducked under water and up into the globe of my personal submarine. There was a small chain link bag of fish food that I was instructed to shake, by hand motions, from the diver that stayed near and guided me around. The fish swarmed around me, bumping my fingers as they eagerly gobbled the food. It was surreal. The trip began with A few of us boarding a large motorized rubber raft that took us to a sandbar. The guide had a dog that was very enthusiastic. At one point it jumped into the water and swam behind the boat, which continued on leaving the dog way behind. At one point it was so far behind it was hard to see it. A real swimmer. We jumped into the water and were instructed how to use the Seabob. It pulled us around the water, which was too shallow to really get the feel of the machine. Low tide was not a good time to do this. It was an incredible experience. I highly recommend it.
Since I went to Hawaii in February, I decided to go whale watching, which is something you can only do during this time of year.
I read many reviews saying that people didn't see any whales, so I boarded the boat with a mindset of "Well, it would be nice to see a whale if we do." However, my skeptical expectations were wonderfully betrayed, and I was able to encounter a mother and calf whale multiple times!! Their synchronized swimming was truly moving, and I absolutely recommend it! Thank you for a truly wonderful experience!
It was a valuable tour. Thank you!
ちょうど2月にハワイに行ったので、この時期しか見ることの出来ないホエールウォッチングに行く事にしました。
クジラに会えなかったという口コミもたくさん読みましたので、「まぁクジラが見れたらいいか」みたいな気持ちで船に乗り込みましたが…。
私の半信半疑の期待は見事に裏切られ、何度もクジラの親子に遭遇する事ができました!!
並んで泳ぐ姿は心から感動しましたし、絶対オススメします!
本当に素晴らしい経験をありがとうございました!
価値のあったツアーでした。ありがとうございました!

I was wondering if I wouldn't be able to see it until halfway through, but I was able to watch it towards the end. I'm glad I could see it because they searched for it until the very last minute. I can hardly speak any English, but the staff were kind, and I had a great time.
途中まで見れないかな?と思ったのですが、最後の方に見ることができました。時間ギリギリまで、探してくれたため、見ることができてよかったです。英語がほとんど話せないのですが、スタッフは優しく、楽しめました。
At first, I was nervous and scared, but it wasn't frightening at all, and it felt great. I definitely want others to experience it. I would like to do it again.
最初は緊張してびびってましたが、怖くもなく、気持ちよかったです。是非体験して欲しいです。またやりたいと思います。
We participated as a family. It was our first day at Waikiki Beach, and we were amazed by the beauty of the ocean with the kids. On top of that, we were thrilled to see sea turtles swimming right nearby.
There was an option to take a photo with Diamond Head in the background, which I thought would make a great memory, so I decided to purchase it.
We traveled by boat for about 10 minutes to get to the submarine, and during that time, we were able to see a whale in the distance. The guide spoke in Japanese and entertained us with jokes. Inside the submarine, we were satisfied with the experience as we could see corals, fish, and sea turtles up close.
However, I experienced more motion sickness than I expected. They provide etiquette bags, but I recommend that those who are sensitive take medication beforehand.
家族で参加しました。
ワイキキビーチに初めて行った日だったので、海のキレイさに子どもたちと感動しました。その上、海辺ではウミガメがすぐそこを泳いでいて大興奮でした。
ダイヤモンドヘッドをバックに写真を撮るという観光地特有のオプションがついていましたが、思い出になると思い購入しました。
潜水艦に乗るまで10分ほど船で移動するのですが、その際にクジラの姿も遠くに見ることができました。
ガイドは日本語で、時にジョークもあり楽しませてくれます。潜水艦では、サンゴや魚、ウミガメも間近に見ることができ満足な体験でした。
ただ、思った以上に乗り物酔いします。エチケット袋は用意されていますが、弱い人はお薬を飲んで行くことをおすすめします。

The day I participated, the water was murky and hard to see.
It's different from the scenery you can see while diving.
I think it would be appreciated by older people who want to see the sunken battleships and fighter planes.
The view from the boat on the way to the submarine was fantastic!

The scenery is beautiful, and the staff really gets everyone excited to have fun. I think the view after flying in the sky allows you to experience the beautiful ocean and the wonders of Hawaii.
I suffer from severe motion sickness, so I was feeling dizzy and nauseous the whole time, but next time I want to participate after taking motion sickness medication. The driver for the pickup was also a very fun person, and I enjoyed the time spent during the transfer. Thank you very much.
景色も美しく、スタッフの方もすごく楽しめるように盛り上がってくださいます。

I waited for the bus on the first day, but I was left behind. I left a voicemail, but I didn't get a response... I'm glad I was able to participate the next day, but I couldn't see the whales as well as I wanted from the photos. However, I felt good about the cruise! I thought it might be better if the duration was a little shorter.
バスに1日目待ってたのに、おいてかれてしまいました。

This was my first time in Hawaii, so I wanted to see a show on the main street! Plus, I had a coupon for a second person free, so I made a reservation.
For dinner, we had a buffet featuring a whole roasted pig. They brought it right in front of us, which was quite impressive! We enjoyed our meal while watching live ukulele music and hula dancing. The one-drink service was also a nice touch.
After enjoying quite a bit of hula, the show began. The professional performance from the stage was truly wonderful. We were seated in the second floor, but it was very close, which was great.
The dancing by Elvis and Michael was a highlight! Personally, I found the fire dance to be the most entertaining. ^ ^
今回初めてのハワイなので大道にショーも見たいよね!というのと、2人目無料クーポンがあったので予約しました。
夜ご飯のビュッフェは豚の丸焼き。
目の前まで持ってきてくれたので迫力満点!
生のウクレレとフラダンスを見ながらの夕食。
ワンドリンクサービスも嬉しかったです。
もうフラをだいぶ堪能してからのショー。
でもやはり舞台からの本格的なショーは素敵でした。
2階席からでしたが、とても近くてよかったです。
エルビスとマイケルのキレキレダンスは見ものでした!
個人的にはファイヤーダンスが1番面白かったです^ ^

I participated with my mother in her 50s. A few days ago, my sister and her husband who went parasailing warned us, "Be careful, you might get really seasick!" However, our boat ride was relatively smooth, so we didn't have to worry about seasickness. There was some slight turbulence in the air, but it was not scary at all; it felt like we were flying. I held a waterproof instant camera while flying, and it didn't interfere with taking pictures at all.
50代の母親と参加しました。数日前にパラセイリングをした妹夫婦からは、「すごく船酔いするから気をつけて!」と言われていたのですが、私たちの船は比較的穏やかな運転だったのか、船酔いの心配はありませんでした。空中では多少揺れましたが、怖さは全くなく、空を飛んでいるようでした。手に防水インスタントカメラを持って空を飛びましたが、撮影には何の支障もありませんでした。
We participated as a family!
It was everyone's first time whale watching, and we had a wonderful experience encountering humpback whales jumping up close!

This was my second time snorkeling, and I participated in the tour feeling anxious about the deep water, as I could only do the crawl by myself. I decided to join after seeing everyone having fun in the reviews. I dislike cold water and am not a strong swimmer, so I was filled with the desire to back out until the last minute. However, the guide was incredibly thorough in teaching us how to breathe, and with the rental of the bodysuit, I was able to swim happily!
Once I got used to it, we went out to look for turtles, and by then, I was able to swim smoothly! Hanauma Bay is the best place; both snorkeling and the beach are amazing, and the guide is fantastic too! I highly recommend it! I will definitely join again when I go to Hawaii!
シュノーケリング二回目、一人ではクロールしかできず深いところは不安のあるなかでのツアー参加でした。
口コミから、みなさんが楽しく参加されているのを拝見して参加しました。寒い海は嫌いだし、泳ぎは苦手で直前までやめたい気持ちでいっぱいでしたが、ガイドさんが本当に丁寧に息の仕方など教えてくださり、ボディスーツのレンタルもあり、楽しく泳ぐことができました!
慣れてきたら沖に出てカメを探しに行きましたが、その時にはもうスイスイいくことができました!
ハナウマ湾は最高の場所でシュノーケリングもビーチも最高なのはもちろんですが、ガイドさんも最高です!おすすめです!
またハワイ行ったときは参加します!
In February 2015, I participated in a tour and completely forgot to leave a review.
I heard that the day before and the day before that, there were strong wind warnings, and the tours were canceled, but on the day I booked, it was held. Fortunately, I was able to encounter a pod of dolphins, which was amazing. However, February in Hawaii is really cold. I tend to get cold easily, and even with a wetsuit rental, the water was too cold. I didn't even have the courage to get in the water except for swimming with the dolphins.
In addition to the cruise, I enjoyed the hula dancing (even though I couldn't do it at all because it was too difficult), and the conversations with the crew were fun, but there was one thing. The pickup time was quite early, which I knew from the beginning, but I was surprised when I received a call to confirm the pickup time while it was still dark outside. While I appreciate the confirmation call, the timing was really too much. Plus, it's rare for the phone in my room to ring while traveling abroad, so it startled me. I wish they had mentioned it in advance if it was absolutely necessary. That's the only thing I still clearly remember even after five years.
2015年2月・・
すごく前に参加してすっかりレビューもせずにおりました。
前日・前々日が強風警報が出てて、ツアーも中止になったとのことでしたが
自分が予約した日は開催されました。
そして運よくイルカの群れにも遭遇出来てすごくよかったです。
ただ、2月のハワイってめっちゃ寒い。
元々寒がりなのもあるけれど、ウェットレンタルしても水が冷たすぎて。
イルカと泳いだ以外、水に入る勇気さえなかったです。
クルーズの他、フラダンスや(難しくてちっともできなかったけど)
クルーたちの会話も楽しかったですが一つだけ。
ピックアップの時間がかなり早かったのですが
それは最初から分かっていたのでいいのですが、それよりも前の暗いうちに
ピックアップ時間の確認TELなどが来たこと。
確認の連絡はありがたいけれど、時間がヤバすぎ。
しかも海外で旅行中に部屋の電話が鳴るってほとんどないのでまずびっくりするし。
必ず必要なら前もって言っててほしかったですね。
それだけが5年経った今もはっきり覚えてます。
The crew couldn’t have been more accommodating and fun! Lunch was delicious. Turtle spotting was fabulous. And the reef snorkel was an adventure to be remembered. Thanks for the memories!
I learned about the history of Hawaii, and the plants were explained in detail. In the long-awaited hula lesson, I was taught by the kumu hula, Brad Cooper, and it felt like a dream. I was also very satisfied with the beautiful lei making.
ハワイの歴史が学べ、植物も丁寧に説明していただきました。

The weather was favorable, and it was a perfect day for kayaking, so I was very satisfied. Additionally, having a Japanese guide helped a lot, and their attentive service was wonderful. However, I had to carry the kayak myself, which I think is quite challenging, especially for women (maybe because of age?).
Also, there was hardly any time to change after returning! The waiting time for the changing room, changing clothes, organizing my belongings, and using the restroom added up to only 9 minutes, and I was in such a rush that I completely forgot an important item. When I told the driver on the return bus, he said he didn't know the phone number and that I should look it up and call myself... Isn't that strange considering he is employed? Well, in the end, after some fuss, he did make the call for me.
Thanks to the consideration of the Japanese staff, I was able to get my item back, for which I am very grateful, but regarding the driver... that's another story. I think women, regardless of whether they can speak English or not, should definitely have a guide if they are beginners at kayaking (since they can help with carrying, pulling, and getting in).
Also, I recommend bringing a dress that you can change into quickly. At Flat Island, the rocky areas can be tough to walk on, so having aqua shoes would be beneficial. The tour content and the Japanese staff were excellent. Thank you for your assistance.
天候にも恵まれ、カヤック日和の事もありとても満足でした。
また、日本語ガイド付きだったので、色々お手伝いもして頂き、丁寧な対応で素晴らしかったです。
しかし、カヤックを自分で運ばなくてはならず、女性は(歳だからか?)大変だと思います。
また帰って来てからの、着替えの時間が全然ない!更衣室の待ち時間、着替え、荷物の整理、トイレ…合わせてなんと9分しか無く、慌てふためき、大事な物をまるまる忘れて来てしまいました。
帰りのバスでドライバーに伝えると、電話番号が分からないから自分で調べて電話しろと…
雇われているくせに、それっておかしくない?
まぁ、結局ワラワラしていたら、電話かけてくれましたが…
日本人スタッフの方の配慮により、無事に手元に戻って来たのは感謝感謝ですが、ドライバーに関しては…ってところです。
女性の方は、英語が話せる話せないではなく、カヤック初心者ならガイドを付けた方が良いと思います。(運んだり、引っ張ったり、乗ったりのお手伝いをして頂けるので)
あと、ぱっと着替えられる、ワンピースを持って行く事をお勧めします。
又フラットアイランドでは、岩がゴツゴツしている所を歩くので、アクアシューズがあると良いですよー。
ツアー内容と、日本人スタッフは素晴らしかったです。
お世話になりました。
Aloha Hawaii,
Thank you for participating in the kayak tour and for your review. We are very pleased to hear that you were satisfied with the kayak tour. We understand that transporting the kayaks can be quite challenging. Unfortunately, due to current regulations, we are unable to make changes, and we are fully aware of the difficulties involved, but we consider it part of the activity. Additionally, depending on the sea conditions, the number of customers, and the members of your group, there may be times when returning to the shop takes longer than expected. We apologize for any rush before the departure time. We are relieved to hear that you received your belongings safely.
Regarding the driver on your return, we sincerely apologize. Although the driver was from another company, that level of service is not acceptable. We will contact the transportation company to ensure that this does not happen again in the future. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
When you come back to Hawaii, please do visit the beautiful Kailua Beach. Our staff is looking forward to welcoming you.
Thank you.

This was just such a great experience. We got incredibly lucky with active whales during our trip. We saw two set of mothers with their calves. The calves breached multiple times and we even got to see one of the mothers breach! Even just the scenery during the sail up the coast was amazing. The crew was incredibly fun and nice, everyone was very accommodating. I would definitely recommend using this company for your whale tour.
Meeting a large mother and baby whale was truly moving. At the same time, I thought about how the approaching boats must be a nuisance for the mother whale caring for her newborn, which left me with somewhat mixed feelings. What is the ideal way for modern humans to connect with the natural world? While we understand this in our daily lives, we often don’t think deeply about it. I realized that we need to reconsider the power of humans and civilization that has even pushed the largest mammals in Earth's history, the whales, to the brink of extinction.
A beautiful world should remain beautiful.
A wonderful nature should remain as it is.
This tour taught me the preciousness of simply connecting lives.
大きなクジラの親子に会えたのはやはり感動がありました
と同時に生まれたばかりの子供の世話をしているお母さんクジラにとってはボートで近づいてくる人間は迷惑なんだろうなと思い、少々複雑な感情にもなりました。
自然界と現代人の繋がりかたの理想とはどんなものなのか。普段の生活では理解していても深くは考えないものですが、地球史上最大の哺乳類と言われるクジラさえも絶滅の危機に追いやってしまった人間の力、文明の威力を改めて考える必要があると実感しました。
綺麗な世界が綺麗なままで。
素晴らしい自然がありのままで。

In late February, my husband and I visited Hawaii and wanted to do something Hawaiian, so we participated in this activity!
Most of the participants were Japanese, with a few foreigners mixed in. The boats going to the sandbar were separated into one for Japanese people only and another that included foreigners. Both boats had Japanese guides who were very good at speaking, and the locals were cheerful, making the experience enjoyable from the boat!
When I asked the guide to take photos at the sandbar, they even directed us on how to pose, capturing many wonderful pictures from various angles♡
The guide also helped us look for sea turtles, and we were able to see a lot of them!
During snorkeling, we could see the sea turtles up close! The weather was great, but the water was very cold once we got in.
When we returned to the boat, they had warm drinks prepared, so we could relax and enjoy sunbathing on board!
The hamburgers for lunch were huge, and since we could add our own toppings, it was amazing to customize them to our liking! I'm so glad we could do something truly Hawaiian♪♪

I had very little experience with boarding a ship, but there were staff members who spoke Japanese, and the other staff were also kind, which made me feel very at ease. There was a wide variety of alcoholic beverages and soft drinks, which was enjoyable. Although the chances of seeing a whale were low, they searched diligently, and I was able to see its tail. I also got to see dolphins up close for a long time, which I didn't think would be possible. It was a very enjoyable plan.
船に乗る経験もほとんどありませんでしたが、日本語を話せるスタッフがいたり、他のスタッフも親切でとても安心して過ごせました。
アルコール類やソフトドリンクも豊富で楽しかったです。
鯨も確率は低いそうですか、熱心に探してくれ、尻尾を見ることができました。また、見れないと思っていたイルカを近くで長時間見れました。
とても楽しいプランでした。
I participated with my 3-year-old child. The dolphins' eyes were adorable, and it was my first time touching them, which felt quite strange. They let us hear their sounds and splashed us with their fins, which was fun. It was my child's first time in a big pool, and it turned out to be a great experience. Wearing life jackets made us feel safe.
There were many foreign guests, so it felt like we were abroad. The staff only spoke English, but they communicated well with gestures, so it was fine! There was also a dolphin show, areas where we could touch starfish, and a play area for kids, making it a fun place to visit!
3歳の子連れで参加しました。
イルカの目が可愛らしく、触るのは初めてでしたが不思議な感触でした。鳴き声を聞かせてくれたりヒレで水をかけてくれたり楽しかったです
子供は大きなプールに入るのは初めてでしたが良い経験になりました。ライフジャケット着用で安心です。
外国のお客さんが多いので外国に来た気分を楽しめますスタッフは英語のみですが、身振り手振りで教えてくれるので大丈夫です!
イルカショータイムもあったり手でヒトデなどに触れるエリアや子供用プレイエリアもあり、楽しめる場所です!!
I was satisfied to see them jumping and swimming with their families up close! It would be nice if we could choose items like a ballpoint pen or a T-shirt instead of a revenge ticket. The revenge is quite difficult.
かなり近くでジャンプや親子連れで泳ぐ姿も見れて満足!リベンジ券ではなく、ボールペンやTシャツかを選べると良い。リベンジはかなり難しい。

They provided support in Japanese.
They took over 90 photos for $30, and I was very satisfied!
For those who are prone to seasickness, especially Japanese people, I recommend taking motion sickness medication before participating, as there are many groups and you'll spend a lot of time on the boat.

We visited with four adults, all over 20 years old. Although it was a morning course, horseback riding while overlooking the beautiful coastline of North Shore was absolutely fantastic. Our group consisted only of our family of four, but there were two support staff members, and it was no problem even for those who were mostly beginners. The riding time and course distance were just right, without any excess or deficiency. However, the restrooms are basic, so it's advisable to take care of that beforehand.
家族4人といっても全員20歳以上の大人4人で訪れました。午前中のコースでしたが、ノースショワの美しい海岸を眺めながらの乗馬は最高に良かったです。私達の回は私達の家族4人だけでしたが、2人のサポートの方が入っており、ほぼ全員初心者でも問題無かったです。乗馬時間やコースの距離も過不足なく丁度良い感じでした。ただ、トイレ等は簡易式のものなので事前に済ませておいた方が無難です。
I had a great time enjoying SUP at the sandbar with my dog Shaka. I took a lot of photos with my iPhone, creating many memories. Thanks to the diver's care, I was able to see fish and sea turtles up close with Scuba Bob. It was truly an amazing experience. Scuba provided the photos as data for the group for $40. Videos are an additional $40. I think that's a very reasonable price.
I joined this tour after reading reviews on Veltra. At first, I was a bit worried because there were some negative reviews, but once I participated in the tour, I realized there was nothing to worry about. Everyone was very friendly and nice. However, regarding what to bring, I think it's essential to have something warm, like a large towel, especially during the winter season (we participated in February) when coming out of the water.
While I recommend scuba diving, I highly recommend Scuba Bob, where you can comfortably see underwater! If you have a phone in a waterproof case, you can take a lot of great photos underwater! That’s what I did. If I have the chance to go again, I would choose this tour.
犬のシャカと一緒にサンドバーでSUPを楽しめました。私が持っていったiPhoneで写真をたくさん撮ってくれ、思い出がたくさんできました。スキューバボブはダイバーさんの気遣いで魚やウミガメが間近でみられました。本当に感動体験でした。スキューバは、撮ってくれた写真をデータでくれました(グループで$40)。動画はさらに+$40です。かなり良心的な値段だと思います。
veltraのレビューを見てからここのツアーに参加しました。はじめは、不安なレビューも複数あって、大丈夫かな?と思いましたが、ツアーに参加してみればなんのことはありません。皆さんとても気さくでいい方たちでした。ただ、持ち物に関して、冬の時期とされる期間?(私たちは2月に参加)は、大きなタオルなど、海から上がった際に暖を取れるものが必ずあったほうがいいと思います。
スキューバダイビングもおすすめですが、海の中を安心して見ることのできる、スキューバボブはめちゃくちゃおすすめです!防水カバーに入れている携帯なら、海の中をめちゃくちゃ撮れますよ!わたしはそれ派でした。また行く機会があれば、ここのツアーにするとおもいます。
