All Reviews for Waikiki Beach

First, we started with a welcome drink. We toasted with a drink full of Hawaiian flavor, and since it was the first night of our trip, I was really excited. After that, we enjoyed a buffet meal. There were many Hawaiian dishes, and each one was delicious, which made me very satisfied. In particular, the whole roasted pig was impressive and tasty. During the meal, hula dancers performed in the middle of the tables, adding to the atmosphere. There was even a mini hula lesson. If you wanted to eat, it was perfectly fine to do so. Afterward, we had a dessert buffet and moved to the show venue. The show lasted over an hour, and I was very satisfied. At the end, we could take photos with the performers. Overall, it was a highly satisfying dinner show.

As a piece of advice for those experiencing this, you receive two drink tickets (separate from the complimentary welcome drink), which can be used at either the dining venue or the show venue. When we tried to order, we were told that the ordering time at the dining venue had passed, so we had to use them at the show venue. The dining venue has a wider drink menu and serves drinks in proper glasses, which enhances the experience. At the show venue, you can drink while watching the show, but the drinks come in takeout containers and the menu is limited. Please be aware that the drink order cutoff time at the dining venue is quite early.

まず初めにウェルカムドリンクからはじまりました。ハワイ感たっぷりのドリンクで乾杯し、旅の初日の夜だったのでとてもワクワクしました。その後、ブッフェで料理をいただきました。ハワイの料理もたくさんあり、どれも一つ一つおいしくてとても満足でした。特に、豚の丸焼きはインパクトもすごく、おいしかったです。料理の中盤からフラダンスの人たちがテーブルの真ん中でダンスしてくださったりして盛り上げてくれました。フラダンスのミニレッスンがあったりもします。食事したい方は食事してても大丈夫でした。その後デザートブッフェをいただき、ショーの会場に移動。ショーはたっぷり1時間以上みれてとても満足でした。最後に出演者の方と写真も撮れます。全体的にとても満足度の高いディナーショーです。体験される方にアドバイスがあるとすると、ドリンクチケットが2枚（無料の乾杯ドリンクとは別）にいただけるのですが、食事の会場とショーの会場どちらでも利用できます。私たちはオーダーしようとした時には食事会場のオーダー時間が過ぎていたため、ショーの会場で使用してくださいと言われました。食事会場の方がドリンクメニューが多いのときちんとしたグラスにいれてくれるので気分が上がると思います。ショーの会場ではショーを観ながら飲めるのですがテイクアウトの入れ物になるのとメニューが少ないです。食事会場のドリンクのオーダーストップは結構早めなのでそこだけ気をつけてください。

After the end of COVID, it's been a while since I've been to Hawaii! This was my first time enjoying live music while having a meal, and I was very satisfied with the Hawaiian music that resonated in my heart, the people who jumped in to dance hula, and the delicious food. I plan to sign up again next time.

コロナあけ久しぶりのハワイ！食事をしながらのライブ鑑賞は初めてて、心に馴染むハワイアンミュージック、飛び入りでフラを踊る人達と美味しい食事でとても満足しました。また次回申し込む予定です

The inside of the submarine was clean, and it was nice to see the ocean clearly through the windows. However, I only saw small fish and didn't encounter any large or unusual fish, or turtles at all. This is left to nature, so it's certainly not the fault of the tour, but it was disappointing. I wouldn't mind if the price were higher; I would like to be taken to a place where I can see various tropical fish and sharks.

潜水艦の中はきれいで窓からは海の様子がはっきり見えてよかったのですが、小さい魚ばかりで大きい魚や珍しい魚、亀などは全然みることはできませんでした。これは自然任せなので、決してこのツアーのせいではないのですが残念でした。料金は高くなっても構わないので、色々な熱帯魚やサメなどが見れる場所に連れて行って欲しいと思います。

Good: the performers and MC where good. Bad: Food and Drink where minimum. Selection was limited. All seemed a little cheap. No quality drink choices. Best tequila was Cuervo Gold, really! What decade are we in. Ugly: the setting terrible. On a roof at the conference center. No ambiance. A conference room on the roof. Hilton could and should do better. I will not recommend. I picked this Luau mostly because of proximity to our hotel. That was a mistake. It was the worst experience of our week stay in Oahu.

We had the best time with this crew! My husband and I have done several sunset cruises in Hawaii and this one was by far at the top of the list! The crew was very fun, attentive, knowledgeable and kept the drinks flowing! What a great way to start or end your vacation!

And, we saw a full rainbow!!!

The location is on the fourth floor of a shopping center in the city center, making it very convenient. The Hawaiian cuisine was varied and very delicious. The whole roasted pig was the best! Additionally, the staff was very friendly and provided wonderful hospitality.

The show was indoors, so there was no worry about rain, and the sound system was impressive. Above all, all the performers were amazing! The Hawaiian dances and songs were, of course, great, but the performances of Elvis and Michael were just like the real thing and exciting. Michael's dancing was fantastic!

It was a performance that everyone, young and old, could enjoy, and my parents in their 70s reminisced and had a great time. We had VIP tickets and were seated in the front row, so we even got to shake hands during the performance. After the show, we were able to take photos with the performers outside, which made for a great memory of Hawaii.

I definitely want to recommend this to others.

場所は中心地のショッピングセンターの4階にあり、とても便利。
ハワイアン料理もバラエティあり、とてもおいしかった。豚の丸焼きも最高！また、スタッフがとてもフレンドリーで素晴らしいおもてなしをしてくれた。
ショーは、室内なので雨天の心配なく、音響も迫力があった。何より、すべてのパフォーマーが素晴らしかった！
ハワイアンダンスや歌はもちろんだが、プレスリーやマイケルのパフォーマンスは本物さながらで興奮した。マイケルのダンスが素晴らしかった！
老若男女楽しめるパフォーマンスで、７０代の両親も昔を懐かしみ楽しんでくれた。
私たちはVIPチケットで一番前の席にしてもらったので、パフォーマンス中に握手もしてもらった。観劇後は外で、パフォーマーと写真撮影もしてもらえたのでハワイの良い記念になった。
ぜひ他の人にもお勧めしたいと思った。

The staff was friendly and provided wonderful hospitality. The food included a variety of Hawaiian dishes, and it was delicious. Additionally, the show was more impressive than I expected. The Hawaiian dance, as well as the performances of Elvis and Michael, were incredibly authentic and fantastic. Since I was in the front row of the VIP section, I even got to shake hands during the performance, which really boosted my excitement. The seating is tiered, so I think even regular seats offer a good view. The location is conveniently in the city center, making access easy. I definitely want to recommend this to others.

スタッフが皆、フレンドリーで素晴らしいおもてなしでした。料理も色んなハワイアン料理が食べれて、美味しかったです。
また、ショーが想像以上に見ごたえありました。
ハワイアンのダンスはもちろん、プレスリーやマイケルのパフォーマンスは、本物さながらでとても素晴らしかったです。
VIP席で一番前だったため、公演中に握手もしてもらいテンションがあがりました。席は階段状のつくりなので、普通の席でも見やすいと思います。
場所も中心地の便利なところにあり、アクセスも良かったです。
ぜひ周りにもおすすめしたいです。

I didn't receive the VIP treatment I was expecting, but I appreciated how kindly everyone was treated, regardless of their category.

The show featuring impersonators of Elvis and Michael was, of course, impressive, but the local female singers also showcased remarkable vocal talent, making it a worthwhile experience. Among them, the final act with the fire knife was thrilling; I was worried they might get burned, but it was executed perfectly—truly impressive! Good job!!

The show's progression followed the calendar year, and the deep admiration for 'Iz' from Hawaii, who appeared on the screen at the end, made the entire performance even more moving.

期待していたほどのVIP待遇は受けませんでしたが、どのカテゴリーの人に対しても親切に対応されていたのは好感がもたれました。

プレスリーやマイケルのそっくりさんによるショーは、言わずもがなですが、地元の女性歌手の歌唱力も目を見張るものがあり、見応え十分でした。
中でも、最終演目のファイヤーナイフは、迫力満点で、やけどしてしまわないかとヒヤヒヤしましたが、完璧にこなされ、まさにあっぱれ！Good job‼︎

ショーの展開が暦年を追った演出になっており、最後にスクリーンに登場したハワイ出身の『イズ/IZ』に対する深い敬愛がひしひしと感じられ、ショー全体がより感動的なものに仕上がっていました。

I chose this experience to create lasting memories for my friend's first trip to Hawaii. Two guides accompanied us, and the three of us—my friend and my husband—got into a five-person canoe. The location was the beach in front of the Royal Hawaiian Hotel.

First, we received a lecture on how to ride the outrigger canoe and how to hold the paddle on land. We pushed the outrigger canoe from the sandy beach into the sea. Then, we sat in designated spots in a line and started paddling out to the waves, waiting alongside the surfers. The instructions were given in Japanese, such as "Pull harder!" and "Opposite!" so we just kept paddling.

It was reassuring to have guidance on the wave points and timing. The view from the sea was incredibly beautiful compared to what we usually see from the beach. We rode three times, and it was harder than I expected. It was a lot of fun!

友人の初ハワイの思い出に残るように今回チョイスしました。
2人の方がアテンドして下さり、友人と私たち夫婦3人で5人乗りのカヌーに乗ります。
場所はロイヤルハワイアンホテル前のビーチから。
先ず陸地でアウトリガーカヌーの乗り方やパドルの持ち方をレクチャーしてもらいます。
5人で砂浜から海にアウトリガーカヌーを押して海に入ります。
そして縦列に仕切られている枠に座りパドルを漕ぎ出して波の向こうに行き
サーファー達と並んで波を待ちます。
濃いで！反対！早く！と指示は日本語で声がけしてくれますから、ひたすら漕ぎます。
波のポイントやタイミングもアテンドがあるので安心でした。
日頃はビーチから見る景色を海から見るのは凄く綺麗でしたよ。
3回ライドしましたが思った以上にハードでした。
楽しかったです。

I signed up for this tour because I wanted to see traditional Hawaiian hula dancing and fire dancing. Before the show, there was a buffet-style dinner, but with the staff's signal, everyone rushed to get their food, creating a huge line. As a result, there wasn't much time, and it felt like we just made one round through the buffet. The roast beef was delicious.

The show started with hula dancing, followed by a medley of impersonators of Elvis and Michael Jackson, fire dancing, and songs from local singers, which was quite enjoyable. After the show, I was able to take pictures with the performers, which made for a nice memory.

Overall, I felt that just the show would have been enough.

今回ハワイの伝統フラダンスやファイヤーダンスが見たかったのでこのツアーを申し込みました。ショーの前にビュッフェスタイルの夕食がありましたが、スタッフの合図とともに皆一斉に料理を取りにいくため、すごい行列となり時間も無くなりビュッフェといっても一通り１周して終わりといった感じでした。料理内容はローストビーフが美味しかったです。
ショーはフラダンスから始まり、プレスリーとマイケルジャクソンのそっくりさんのメドレーとファイヤーダンスや地元の歌手？の歌などでまずまず楽しめました。終了後出演者と写真を撮っていただよい記念になりました。
総合的な感想は、ショーだけでよかったと思いました。

The journey to get there and the actual submarine experience were both valuable and incredibly fun. The explanations were mostly in English. I was able to save the Japanese audio data in advance, but I think it would be more enjoyable to listen to the live English explanations on-site.

行くまでの道中も実際の潜水艦も貴重な体験でとっても楽しかったです。基本的には英語での解説でした。事前に日本語音声データを保存できましたが聴きながらではなくその場の英語の解説がより楽しめると思います。

The reservation process was smooth, and the staff was excellent⭐︎ It gets quite wet, which is also great. The music, the wind, and the sea made for an incredibly happy time. My high school son and my 84-year-old parents were both thrilled⭐︎

予約もスムーズに出来て、スタッフも最高⭐︎
かなり、濡れます。それも最高。
音楽と風と海　最高に幸せな時間でした。
高校生の息子も、84才の，両親も感激してました⭐︎

I took the catamaran for the first time with an online reservation. The color of the sea when you go out into the open water is incredibly beautiful, even more so than what you see from the beach. I was worried about getting seasick as the waves got bigger, but the splashes of water were refreshing, and the wind felt great, making it a wonderful experience. You can order drinks, so please bring cash. The hour and a half passed by in no time. For those who haven't tried it yet, I highly recommend it!

ネット予約で初めてカタマラン号に乗りました。
浜辺で見る海よりも、沖に出て見る海の色は最高に綺麗でした。
波が大きくなると船酔いも心配でしたが、波飛沫も新鮮で風も気持ちよくて、とても良い経験ができました。
飲み物は注文できますので現金をお持ちくださいね。1時間30分があっという間に過ぎてしまいました。
まだ乗ったことのない方、絶対におすすめです！

For our first honeymoon in Hawaii, we chose to visit Honolulu as our first sightseeing spot. We picked it because we could enjoy a Hawaiian food buffet and watch hula dancing. There were some moments of confusion due to the wait time and the new experience, but all the food was delicious! They even sang a special song for our honeymoon with a ukulele, and after the meal, we enjoyed a show featuring impersonations of Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson. After the show, we were able to take photos together... It was truly a lot of fun! I highly recommend it.

初めてのハネムーンでのハワイ。ホノルルに到着して最初の観光に選びました。
ハワイアンフードのビュッフェとフラダンスが見れるということで選びました。
待ち時間や、はじめてのことに戸惑うところもありましたが、ご飯は全て美味しくいただけました！
ウクレレでハネムーン用に歌って頂いたり、食事を終わってからのショーはエルビス・プレスリーやマイケル・ジャクソンのモノマネが楽しめたり、ショー終了後には写真を一緒に撮影できたり…
本当に楽しかったです！
ぜひ、オススメです。

We had a great time on the fireworks cruise. The crew was fun and energetic and made everyone laugh. The drinks were nice and strong and service was fast. Some folks seemed like they pre partied all day and got a little raunchy. Families with young kids should keep this in mind (this is also warned on their website). The view was great and the music was fun.
A nice way to end the day!

A relaxed atmosphere where you can feel at ease. However, the performance took a while to start, so I would have liked them to provide a start time! The food was decent! The performance was good, but the children in the pool were a bit distracting (laughs).

気軽な雰囲気でリラックス。ただ演奏か中々始まらないので開始時間を提示して欲しい！食事はまあまあのレベル！演奏は良いがプールの子どもは気になった(笑)

I have never surfed before and I probably won't in the future, so I decided to join this experience to feel that vibe casually. The speed was much slower than I imagined, and I didn't feel scared at all. Watching the people surfing on the same waves and being able to ride the waves together was fun and made me feel like a surfer. However, it ended in no time. It would be nice if it were a bit cheaper.

サーフィンをした事が無く、今後もできそうもないので、気軽にそんな気分になれそうなこちらに参加しました。
想像よりもスピードはゆっくりで、全く怖さはありませんでした。同じ波にサーフィンしている人達を見て、一緒に波に乗れたのは、サーファー気分で楽しかったです。
しかし、あっという間に終わりでした。もう少し安価だといいですね。

First, we enjoyed a buffet together, and then we moved on to watch the Rock-a-Flash show! When Michael Jackson's song played, I got really excited (laughs).

最初にみなさんでビュッフェをいただいてから、移動してロック・ア・フラショーを鑑賞しました！マイケルジャクソンの歌がかかったときは、テンション上がりました（笑）

This was a great experience. The performers and all staff were professional and made sure we had a good time. Food portions were perfect so that we weren't super stuffed but full enough. Beautiful food presentation. Hats off to the culinary team and chef!!!! This was a memorable experience and the interactive dance for everyone at the end was a perfect way to end the dinner cruise. Only one recommendation would be to have air conditioning in the boat. Other than that, the night was amazing!!

Highly recommend!! The staff was amazing and made this trip so much fun!

The Royal Hawaiian Center is quite spacious, so I struggled to reach the fourth floor, but I managed to arrive a bit early. Since I had made a reservation in advance, I showed my passport at the counter for identification and completed the check-in. Communication in Japanese wasn't very smooth, but I was somehow guided to my seat at the buffet-style dining area. I received a welcome drink and was greeted with Hawaiian dance, allowing me to feel the atmosphere of Hawaii.

As it was buffet-style, participants were called in turn to serve food onto their plates and then return to their seats to eat. Being a buffet, I could choose as much of my favorite dishes as I wanted. The roast beef was cut by the chef from a large chunk of meat. All the dishes were delicious, but the pineapple served at the table was the best. To enjoy the tropical vibe, I ordered a Chi Chi drink. The dining time was set longer, allowing me to finish my meal comfortably.

When it was time for the show, the staff guided us to our seats, and the show began. The stage was spacious, and the lighting was professional. The venue was lively with performances by impersonators of Elvis and Michael, hula dancing by dancers, and ethnic performances involving fire. Elvis even came down to the audience during the show and shook hands with us, which made me laugh because he looked so much like the real Elvis. He brought laughter to the audience with his talk at various points. Although I didn't understand much English, the enjoyable time flew by, and it was a very satisfying show. This is not just a hula dance show; it incorporates advanced Hawaiian elements into the entertainment, so those participating should keep that in mind.

ロイヤルハワイアンセンターは広い為、4階にたどり着くのに苦労したが、何とか時間前に到着。事前予約していたので、カウンターで本人確認の為パスポートを見せて受付完了。日本語でのコミュニケーションは、あまり上手に伝わらなかったが、何とかバイキング形式の席に案内され着席。ウェルカムドリンクをもらう。ハワイアンダンスの歓迎を受け、ハワイの雰囲気を感じることができた。バイキング形式の為、参加者は順番に呼ばれて料理を皿に盛り、席に戻って食事。バイキングなので好きな料理を好きなだけチョイス。ローストビーフは大きな肉の塊からシェフが切ってくれた。どの料理も美味しかったが、テーブルに出されていたパイナップルが一番だった。南国気分を味わう為ドリンクはチチを注文。食事の時間は長めに設定されていて、余裕をもって完食。ショーの時間になると係の人が席に案内してくれてショーがスタート。ステージも広く照明も本格的。エルビス.マイケルらのそっくりさんによる歌、ダンサーによるフラダンス、火を使った民族的な出し物などで会場は大いに盛り上がった。エルビスはショーの途中、観客席まで降りて来て握手までしてくれた。よく似ているので、笑ってしまった。所々トークで会場に笑いをもたらしていた。（自分はあまり英語の理解ができなかったが）楽しいひと時はあっという間だったが、大満足のショーだった。フラダンス主体のショーではなく、先進的なハワイ要素を取り込んだエンターテイメントなので参加される方はお間違えなく。

In the early morning at Hanauma Bay, I never expected it to be this cold. I did go into the water once, but it was so cold that I gave up quickly. I was really shocked that there were hardly any fish around. When I visited in the past, it was in the afternoon, so it was warm and there were plenty of fish to enjoy! Is there no tour available in the afternoon? I felt that it has become increasingly difficult to enter Hanauma Bay lately. The driver was kind and stopped by Leonard's Kitchen for us on the way back.

早朝にハナウマ湾へ
まさかこんなに寒いとは思ってもみませんでした。
一回は海に入ったものの寒すぎてすぐにギブ。
魚もほとんど見当たらなくめちゃショック。
過去に訪れた時はお昼からだったので暖かかったのか魚もたくさんいて楽しめたのに！
お昼からのツアーは無いのでしょうか？
最近はますますハナウマ湾に入るのが難しくなってきてることを実感しました。
ドライバーの方は親切で帰りにカハラモールにあるレナーズキッチンカーに寄ってもらいました。

Five years ago, when I went to Waianae to snorkel, I didn't have fins, and it was difficult to return to the boat. However, this time I had fins, so I was able to enjoy seeing fish and sea turtles up close. Additionally, I was lucky enough to encounter dolphins!

The best part is that you can board from a hotel in Waikiki, which makes good use of your time. However, there is no Japanese guide, so it would be great if you could go with someone who understands English. I was with my daughter, which was helpful. I think it would be nice to have a sign with the same explanations even without a guide.

5年前に、ワイアナエまで行きシュノーケルしたときはフィンがなく
船まで戻るのが大変でしたが、こちらはフィンがあったので、とても楽しく魚やウミガメを近くでみることができました。
さらにラッキーなことにイルカにも遭遇しました！
何よりワイキキのホテルから乗船できるので時間が有効につかえますよ。
ただ、日本語ガイドさんはいないので英語がわかる人と行けるといいですね。娘と一緒だったので助かりましたが。
ガイドさんがいなくても、同じ内容の説明プラカードがあればいいのに、と思います。

I participated in the fireworks viewing on Friday. Since it was said that we would get wet while boarding the boat, I went in shorts and sandals. I had seen fireworks before on the Star of Honolulu, but there was nothing obstructing the view this time, and since it was a catamaran yacht, we got close to the fireworks, making it much more impressive. Everyone was drinking Mai Tais, but I requested champagne or sparkling wine. They served us baby-sized bottles, one each. I drank quite a bit and honestly don't remember how I got back to the hotel—definitely a reminder to be careful not to drink too much!

金曜日の花火鑑賞に参加しましたボートに乗る際濡れるとなっていたので半ズボンとサンダルで行きました花火は以前スターオブホノルルでも見たことがあったのですが遮るものがないのとカタマランヨットなので近くまで行ったのでこちらの方が迫力があります　皆マイタイを飲んでいましたがシャンパン？スパークリングワインを所望しました　ベビーサイズのボトルを1本づつ開けて出してくれていました　結構飲んでどうやってホテルに帰ったのかわからない位でした→飲み過ぎ注意ですね

Overall outstanding!!!!!!!!!! Fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Awesome view!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When I went to the reception booth and showed my voucher, they said something like, "Please sign the agreement," and my husband and I each signed. We were told, "Be at that peach over there by 7:15," so we waited on the beach, and soon a boat approached from the sea.

We boarded the same boat that had been used for the previous sunset cruise. After the previous passengers disembarked and the cleaning and preparations were done, we were instructed to take off our shoes and roll our pants up to our knees as we got on board. The staff directed us to our seats, and we stored our shoes and bags in the space behind the chairs. After the staff introduced themselves and shared some safety points about the cruise, we set sail.

I was nervous about how to order drinks, but then they called out, "Who wants a Mai Tai? Raise your hand!" Almost everyone raised their hands. Plastic cups filled with ice and Mai Tais were distributed one after another, and cheers of "Kanpai!" echoed around. After that, we went to the counter to order our favorite drinks.

We moved around to take photos and exchanged shots with different groups. At exactly 8:00, fireworks went off, and there was a loud cheer. The weather was nice, the waves were calm, and the starry sky was beautiful. Along the way, the staff handed out snacks like Doritos.

Both the reception and the boat staff spoke only English, and they spoke quickly. Most of the passengers were foreigners, with probably just one other Japanese group besides us. I was nervous about how it would go, but everyone was a bit tipsy, laughing heartily, and we had a great time.

Even with my limited English, I was able to enjoy myself!

The hour went so quickly!
The boat was easy to find, right out the front of Duke's.
The boarding into the boat was relatively easy, there's stairs that come down from the centre of the boat that you climb up. We did get wet leaving the boat but that was okay!

We cruised around to where the fireworks happen and had a great view.
The time went so quickly!

We went to Waikiki for our wedding and honeymoon! We wanted to enjoy something truly Hawaiian, so we made a reservation through Veltra from Japan. The buffet-style meals were delicious, and we were able to enjoy flavors different from those in Japan! The pineapple was cold and tasty too (*´ч`*). The hula dance show during the meal and the post-meal show were filled with Hawaiian charm, and they were all so exciting to watch☆

However, even though we booked the VIP course thinking it would be special, we were guided to the show just like everyone else, and when the paths split, there was no detailed guidance. We were led into the venue in a flowing manner. While we could see from the front, the staff randomly assigned our seats, and those who arrived later were seated in the more visible middle area. Considering the extra cost, I felt there was no need to choose the VIP course. Also, while I knew this beforehand, the fresh flower lei that is only available with the VIP course couldn't be taken back to Japan, so I was disappointed about that since I was looking forward to it.

結婚式とハネムーンを兼ねてワイキキに行きました！ハワイらしいことを楽しみたいと思い、日本からベルトラで予約しました。食事もビュッフェ形式にしては美味しく、日本とは違った味を楽しむことが出来ました！パイナップルも冷たくて美味しかったです(*´ч`*)食事中のフラダンスショーや食後のショーもハワイらしさがたくさん詰まっていて、見ていてワクワクするものばかりでした☆
しかし、せっかくだからと思いVIPコースで予約しましたが、ショーに案内される時にも一般の方と同じように一斉に案内され、途中で一般と道が分かれる際にも詳しい案内はなく、流れ込むように会場に案内されました。前方で見ることは出来ましたが、席もスタッフに勝手に決められ、後から来た人の方を真ん中の見やすい所に座らせたりと値段を上乗せした割には、VIPコースをわざわざ選択する必要は無いかと思いました。また、これは分かっていた事ですが、VIPコースのみ貰える生花のレイも結局日本には持って帰れないので、VIPコースで楽しみにしてた分ガッカリでした。

Snorkeling and scuba diving can be quite challenging, so I participated in a submarine tour where I could easily see the fish underwater. The water was very clear, and I could see the fish gathering around the reefs well. It was a highly satisfying tour.

シュノーケリングやスキューバダイビングはハードルが高いので、気軽に海中の魚を見ることができる潜水艦ツアーに参加しました。海水の透明度が高く漁礁に集まる魚が良く見え、満足感の高いツアーでした。

The champagne toast was so fun for an anniversary evening, we loved our night!
