Oahu
The experience was great. We loved the view from the ceiling and the Luau dance. One thing that could have been done better is the food choice (given the culinary taste that different people have). We didn’t like the fish and chicken served. Overall it was good.
The sandbar itself doesn’t offer much to do, but it was a very beautiful place. It’s worth visiting at least once. I also thoroughly enjoyed the sea turtle watching and snorkeling. However, while there were no issues during snorkeling, it was quite cold after getting out, and I was shivering. But the hot cocoa they served at that time was really delicious. The timing was just right, and I was able to enjoy various activities, which was great.
サンドバー自体は特に何をするというわけではないですが、とてもきれいな場所でした。一度は行ってみると良いです。
ウミガメウォッチングやシュノーケリングも十分楽しめました。
ただ、シュノーケリング中は問題ありませんが、出たあとは、季節的に寒く、ぶるぶると震えていまうほどでしたが、その時に出させたホットココアがてとっても美味しかったです。時間的にもちょうどよく、いろいろ楽しめたのがよかったです。
2-Hour Horseback Riding Course
Unfortunately, it was raining quite heavily...
I wanted to cancel, but I couldn't.
I went wearing a raincoat.
The horses were very cute and it was fun!
I got completely soaked from the rain, and without a towel, waiting for about an hour for the bus in the cold was hell.
I really wished they had towels available...
Even though the horseback riding was scheduled for 11:00, I was picked up at 6:50 in the morning for some reason.
It took 45 minutes to get to Kualoa Ranch.
That left us with almost four hours of free time.
There are places to eat, but there were very few chairs indoors.
The horseback riding ended at 13:00, and the next bus was at 14:30, so we had to wait again.
I wish they had provided information about the bus schedule before making the reservation.
I recommend booking without transportation and using Uber or a taxi to get there.
The horses were adorable, and the scenery was amazing.
It would be perfect to go on a sunny day!
乗馬2時間コース
あいにくの雨でした
結構ザーザー降り…
キャンセルしたいけど出来ず。
カッパを着て行いました。
馬はとても可愛くて楽しかった!
雨でびしょ濡れになり、タオルもなく、
寒いなか1時間くらいバスを待つ時間が地獄でした。
タオルとか貸して欲しかった…
11:00からの乗馬なのに、
なぜか朝の6:50にピックアップ。
クアロア牧場までは45分。
4時間弱の暇。
ご飯食べるところはあるけど、室内は椅子が少なかった
13:00に乗馬終わり、次のバスは14:30
ここでも待ち時間。
バスの時間についても予約前に記載しておいてほしかった。
送迎なしで予約して、Uberなどタクシー使っていくのがおすすめ。
馬はかわいかったし、
景色もすごかった、
晴れてる日に行けたらサイコー!
150m parasailing experience
We participated with 10 people.
It seems the sea was rough, as 4 out of 10 people got really seasick.
The man who came to pick us up was funny and made it enjoyable.
The parasailing was amazing with the beautiful sea!
150mパラセーリング体験
10人で参加しました
海が荒れてたのか10人中4人船酔いが凄かった。
お迎えにきてくれたおじさんが面白くて楽しかったです。
パラサーリングは海綺麗で最高でしたー
I booked a breakfast buffet plan for the "Whale Watching Cruise - Star of Honolulu" with a choice of cultural experiences.
I didn't include transportation and took an Uber taxi from the hotel to Pier 8.
At that time, the weather in Hawaii was consistently "cloudy with occasional rain and strong winds," resulting in high waves.
<Breakfast>
You can freely choose from bread, rice, scrambled eggs (steamed eggs), American sausage, and cereal, along with coffee, tea, green tea, milk, and orange juice.
Around the time we finished breakfast, they provided an explanation about whale watching. Those who didn't have breakfast had to wait until we finished. The explanation was entirely in English, so I somewhat understood it while reading the translations from Google Translate's microphone mode.
<Cruise>
Announcements like "Let's work together to find the whales!" and "The ecology of whales is..." were continuously made in English. At first, I was full of enthusiasm, but the waves were intense, and the wind was strong. It was rocking a lot. As expected, I got seasick, and it became difficult to focus on whale watching. I usually don't get car or airplane motion sickness, but this was a different dimension. (The foreign guests around me seemed fine.) I couldn't spot any whales, and with the seasickness, it turned into quite a heavy activity.
However, those who couldn't see any whales are issued a ticket for another free cruise.
Due to my travel schedule, I didn't use the ticket, but I think it's great that they offer a chance.
Since this activity depends on nature, I recommend understanding that aspect and being prepared to accept the possibility of not seeing whales when making a reservation.
Also, I recommend bringing motion sickness medication.
「ホエールウォッチングクルーズ スターオブホノルル号 選べるカルチャー体験」の朝食ビュッフェ付きプランを予約しました。
送迎は付けず、ホテルからpier8までUberタクシーで移動しました。
この時のハワイの天気は、連日「曇時々雨で一日中強風」というタイミングも重なり、波が高かったです。
<朝食>
パン、ごはん、スクランブルエッグ(スチームエッグ)、アメリカンソーセージ、シリアル
コーヒー、紅茶、緑茶、牛乳、オレンジジュース
これらから自由に選べます。
朝食を食べ終わる頃にホエールウォッチングの説明がされます。
朝食を食べ終わるまでの間、朝食なしの人は待っていることになります。
説明は全篇英語なので、Google翻訳のマイクモードで翻訳されたのを読みながら、なんとなく理解しました
<クルーズ>
「みんなで協力しあってくじらを見つけよう!」「くじらの生態は…」というようなアナウンスが終始英語で流れています。
最初はやる気に溢れていたのですが、なんせ波が、すごい。風も、すごい。揺れる。
案の定船酔いしてしまい、途中からホエールウォッチングどころではなくなってしまいました。
車酔いや飛行機酔いはしない方ですが、船は別次元でした。
(周りの外国人の方々は平気そうでした。)
くじらはを見つけることはできず、船酔いをし、なかなかヘビーなアクティビティになりました。
ただ、くじらを見れなかった人にもう一回無料でクルーズできるチケットが発行してもらえます。
旅程の都合でチケットは利用しませんでしたが、チャンスをもらえるのはいいと思います。
自然とのお付き合い次第のアクティビティなので、その点は理解し、諦めを覚悟して予約することをおすすめします。
それと、酔い止めをご持参されることをおすすめします。笑
Thank you very much for joining our cruise.
We are very sorry that you were unable to fully enjoy the whale watching this time.
Please come back on a calmer day.
All of our staff look forward to welcoming you again.
Star of Honolulu
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。
今回はクジラの観測を十分にお楽しみ頂けず、大変残念に思います。
是非また波の穏やかな日にお越し下さい。
スタッフ一同お待ち申し上げております。
スターオブホノルル
雨予報で天気がそこまで良くなくて不安ではありましたがハワイの空は最高に気持ち良かったです。ぜひまたやりたいです。
I experienced this on February 8, 2020! I participated in a tour with Veltra and stayed for about four and a half hours. Since it wasn't crowded, I was able to try almost all the water slides and enjoy the wave pool! There are thrilling free-fall water slides that you can't easily experience in Japan, so I think anyone from adults to children can have fun (^^).
One of the most impressive was the Tornado Slide, where you slide down in a tornado shape after a steep drop—it was truly thrilling and enjoyable! Since I went in February, it was a bit chilly, so it's a good idea to bring something to wear over your swimsuit! I imagine it would be packed in the summer; it was such a fun park!
2020年2月8日に体験して参りました!
ベルトラさんのツアーで参加し、約4時間半ほどの滞在でしたが、空いてたこともあり、ほぼ全てのウォータースライダーを体験、、波が出るプールも楽しむことが出来ました!
日本では中々味わえない急降下のウォータースライダーもあり、大人から子供まで誰でも楽しめると思います(^^)
中でも印象深いのはトルネードスライダーで、急降下からのトルネード状で滑っていく所が本当にスリル満点で楽しめました!
2月に行ったのでやはり肌寒いので、羽織れるものを用意しておくと良いです!
夏は恐らく満員御礼だろうなと思うくらい、楽しいパークでした!
I also requested hotel transportation. It's an orange van with a large picture of a person zip-lining on it for reference. The driver shared a lot about Hawaii's history during the ride and was very friendly. Although it was in English (laughs), most of the staff didn't speak much Japanese, but gestures were enough to communicate.
The zip-lining was truly amazing! I was a bit nervous at first, but I got used to it quickly! It felt great—seeing nature, the ocean, and the sky in such a vast area was the best! Since it requires physical effort, there were several snack points along the way, with fresh macadamia nuts that you crack open with a stone, freshly picked cherry tomatoes, and small apple bananas! Everyone found them incredibly delicious! Please look forward to that!
ホテル送迎も頼みました。
オレンジのワンボックスカーで
ジップラインをしている人の絵が大きく描かれた車です☆ご参考に♪
着くまでの間ドライバーさんがずっとハワイの歴史などお話ししてくれてとても気さくな人でした。英語でしたが(笑)
あ、基本みなさん日本語はほとんど喋れませんでしたがジェスチャーなどで充分通じます★
ジップラインは本当に最高でした!
初めだけ緊張しますがすぐ慣れます!
気持ちよかったです〜
めちゃ広い敷地の中で自然と海と空が見えて最高でした☆
体力使うので合間におやつポイントがいくつもあり、石で割って食べる新鮮マカダミアナッツ や採れたてプチトマト
小さいアップルバナナ!誰もめちゃくちゃ美味し過ぎました!
それも楽しみにしていてください♪♪
This tour is one that you won’t forget! During our shark tour, we had 6 sharks around us for most of our time in the water. The cage allows you to get a close view of the sharks while still viewing safe being in the water. You get a beautiful view of the deep blue water that is unlike anything else. The staff was great, informing us of sharks that are often seen as well as educating us on the sharks we were seeing. The staff also gave fun facts about the island during the boat ride. I could not say enough great things about this tour!
Our guide was fantastic, he told us all kinds of information about the landscape and surrounding area. The trail was beautiful as were the views and the blowhole was super cool. Hanauma bay was gorgeous, unfortunately we didnt get to snorkel because they had to close the bay down due to multiple jellyfish stings, but our guide was accommodating and came back early to get us.
We went with a plan to meet and disperse at the location.
There is only a restroom for changing, so I recommend wearing your clothes there!
There are lockers for valuables, but they are small, and you need to keep the key with you, so having a zippered garment or a small crossbody bag would be convenient!
There was no one who spoke Japanese, so everything was in English.
If you don't understand English, you won't know the explanations of the place or how to proceed next, so it's best to observe what others do.
The fun you can experience there is something you can't find in Japan, and it's the best!
現地集合、現地解散のプランで行きました。
着替えスペースはトイレしかなく、服は着ていくことをおすすめします!
貴重品のロッカーはありますが、小さいのとその鍵は自分でなくさないように持っていくので、ジッパー付き服か、小さい斜めかけかばんあれば便利です!
日本語話せるひといないので、全部英語でした。
英語がわからんとそこの場所の説明とか次はこんな感じでいったらいーよーがわからないので、行った人の見て行ったらよいです。
日本では味わえない楽しさが最高です!!
The staff were always smiling, and some could speak Japanese, which made me feel at ease and enjoy my time. I had a great time from the morning with high energy. I was satisfied to see both dolphins and whales! Since I participated in January, I thought it might be cold, but it was much colder than I imagined once we got out of the water. There were small children participating as well, and it was sad to see them shivering, so I think parents should definitely bring warm clothing. Also, the boat sways quite a bit, so even those who usually don’t get seasick should take motion sickness medication. It would be the worst to get sick! It was sad to see the kids unable to eat their hamburgers because they got seasick...
スタッフさんはいつも笑顔で日本語を話せる方もいて、安心して楽しく過ごせました。
朝からテンションも高く楽しかったです。
イルカもクジラも見れて満足でした!
1月の参加だったため寒いかなと思っていましたが、海から上がると想像以上に寒かったです。
小さなお子さんも参加されていましたが、ブルブル震えていてかわいそうだったので、親御さんは防寒用具しっかり持って行った方が良いと思います。
あと船は結構揺れるので普段酔わない人も酔い止めは必須です。酔ったら最悪です!
子供さんが酔ってハンバーガーも食べれずかわいそうでした…
Thank you for participating in Dolphin & You. We are glad to hear that you had a fun time, and our staff is happy as well. Even in sunny Hawaii, the temperature drops a bit during the winter, but there are special benefits during this season, such as the opportunity to see whales. We would be delighted if you could join us again in a different season to experience a different side of Hawaii. We look forward to seeing you!
この度は、ドルフィン&ユーへのご参加ありがとうございます。楽しく過ごしていただき、スタッフも喜んでおります。常夏ハワイでも、冬の時期は少し温度が下がりますが、この時期だけクジラがみられるなどの特典もあります。次回は、また違った季節にご参加いただき、違ったハワイを体験していただけたら嬉しいです。お待ちしています!
It was a fun tour, but it was cold. Next time, I will bring warm clothing. The guide was a fun person.
楽しいツアーでしたが
寒かったです。
次回は防寒着を持って行きます。
ガイドさんが楽しい方でした
I saw many fish among the wreckage of ships and airplanes. It was impressive to even see a sea turtle. It was a shame that the visibility was slightly poor due to the rain the day before, but I was able to relax and enjoy my time.
船や飛行機の残骸からたくさんの魚が見えました。ウミガメまで見えたのは圧巻でした。
前日の雨で若干透明度が悪かったのは残念だったけど、ゆったり時間を過ごせました。
Thank you for the 5-star rating! We are very happy to hear that you enjoyed your recent experience with us. We look forward to welcoming you again for another underwater adventure in the future! A hui hou (until next time).
5つ星評価のマハロ!あなたが私たちとの最近の経験を楽しんでいると聞いてとてもうれしいです。私たちは、また別の水中の旅のために、将来あなたをお迎えできることを楽しみにしています! A hui hou(次回まで)。
I challenged myself for the first time in my 29 years of life! I've always been interested, but there weren't many people around me who wanted to try it, so I experienced it for the first time on this trip! Since it was my first time, I can't compare it to other companies, but it was simply the best!
I had heard beforehand that it could be scary when you float, but that wasn't the case at all! I did have some anxiety like, "Is this really okay?" since it was my first time, but in reality, it wasn't scary at all. It felt nothing like a roller coaster; it was very pleasant!
However, my partner who went with me got seasick, so if you tend to get motion sickness, definitely bring some medication! I don't usually get sick, but I still felt that the boat was quite rocky!
29年生きてきて人生で初めて挑戦しました!笑
ずっと興味はありましたが、なかなか周りでやりたいという方がおらず、今回の旅行で初めて経験しました!
初めてなので他社さんとの比較などはできませんが、なんせ最高でした♫
浮かぶときが怖いよ〜とか事前情報はもらってましたけどそんなこともなく!
たしかに初めてだったので、これで本当に大丈夫!?みたいな不安はありましたけど、実際は全く怖いとか、ジェットコースターみたいなふわっと感とか、そんなものも全くなくとても気持ち良かったです!!
ただ一緒に行った相方さんは、船酔いしてしまったので
乗り物弱いなぁと思う方は、酔い止め必須です!!
私は弱くないですけど、それでもかなり船は揺れるなぁとは感じました!
I knew from the pre-check that the water level wasn't too low, so I didn't have high expectations, but I was really glad to see a manta swimming for the first time.
The hamburger for lunch was very delicious, and I was impressed.
I recommend this BBQ tour.
The weather was partly sunny and cloudy, but it felt quite cold, so it might be better to have something to wear over your clothes.
事前のチェックで、水位はそんなに低くない事が分かっていたので、あまり期待は大きくなかったのですが、マンタが泳いでいるのを初めて見れて良かったです
ランチのハンバーガーがとても美味しくて感激しました
このBBQ付きのツアーはお勧めです
晴れ時々曇りの天気でしたが、だいぶ寒く感じたので、羽織るものがあった方が良いかもしれません
Our experience started good and just got better. From pick up to drop off. The staff made the day from pick up, on the boat from service to knowledge. When we spotted the whales was the icing on the cake. Overall a fully enjoyable day.
Aloha! Thank you for sharing your experience, we’re glad you enjoyed exploring with us. We hope you’ll join us for another whale watch cruise soon! Mahalo!
We were the only Japanese people. We flew in with participants from various countries, and both the captain and the staff were friendly. They were great at getting everyone excited, and it was a lot of fun! Above all, the view of Waikiki from the sky was beautiful.
日本人は私達だけでした。
各国の参加者と飛んできましたが、キャプテンもスタッフも気さく。盛り上がるのも上手で楽しかったです!何より、空からのワイキキも美しかったです。
If you're going to Hawaii, I want to follow her pink fins again. Next time, I'll change the timing. It was my first time snorkeling, but she was very good at easing my anxiety, and I was able to enjoy it comfortably. Moreover, she knows so much about the ocean, and her sense of the best spots for that day reflects her extensive experience. Thank you so much!
ハワイに行くなら、また彼女のピンクのフィンについていきたいです。次回は時期をかえて、初めてのシュノーケリングだったのに、不安を取るのがとても上手で安心して楽しめました。
それにとにかく海に詳しくて、その日のスポットセンスが彼女の経験の多さを感じます。本当にありがとうございました!
Dear Chiharu, thank you for joining us on the tour with your partner. Since you were the only guests that day, it was a private tour! How lucky you were.
Although the waves were a bit rough, we were able to see a turtle inside, which was a nice surprise. It was great that you could observe the turtle for a long time since it wasn't scared and stayed while you were eating.
We would love to guide you to the outer part of Hanauma Bay next time, so please come back at a different time. The North Shore is also recommended in the summer.
Thank you very much. Mahalo!!
Chiharu様、この度はお二人でツアーにお越しいただき、ありがとうございます。この日のお客様はお二人様だけでしたので、貸切ツアー!ラッキーでしたね。
ちょっと波ありでしたので沖には出られませんでしたが、波ありだからこそこの日は久しぶりにインサイドに亀が入ってくれていました。
ずっとお食事中の亀さんでしたから逃げずに長く観察出来て良かったですね。是非今度はハナウマ湾の沖の方もご案内させていただきますので、時期を変えてまたお越しくださいね。夏ならノースもオススメですよ。
本当にありがとうございました。Mahalo!!
This was the tour I was most looking forward to on my first trip to Hawaii. The sandbar was about 20 centimeters deep. Walking on the ocean was refreshing, and all the staff were friendly, so I enjoyed it without any worries. The joy of encountering sea turtles while snorkeling! There were about 5 or 6 of them... I was happy they came by the boat on the way back. Even the kids who couldn't swim enjoyed playing in the ocean with stand-up paddleboarding and kayaking. And the lunch was very delicious! It might be rude to say it was unexpected, but it was truly tasty. If I get the chance to go to Hawaii again, I will definitely want to participate again.
初めてのハワイで一番楽しみにしていたツアーです。サンドバーは20センチくらい。「海を歩く」のも新鮮でしたし、スタッフがみなフレンドリーで何の不安もなく楽しめました。シュノーケリングでウミガメに遭遇した時の喜び!5〜6頭いたかな…帰りの船にも寄って来てくれて嬉しかったです。泳げない子供達もサップやカヤックで海遊びを満喫していました。そして、ランチがとても美味しい!予想外と言っては失礼ですが、本当に美味しかったです。またハワイに行けたら、必ず参加したいです。
Aloha! Thank you very much for participating in the Captain Bruce's Heavenly Ocean Tour. It’s great to hear that you were able to see many turtles! We are also pleased that your expectations for lunch were pleasantly exceeded! We all look forward to welcoming you back again.
アロハ!キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーです。この度はご参加いただき誠にありがとうございました。亀さんにたくさん会えたのですね!!良かったです。そして、ランチへの期待も良い意味での予想外で嬉しく思います!!またのお越しをスタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げております。
This was my first time visiting Hawaii during this season. I signed up with the mindset of just being lucky if I could see anything, but it turned out to be an amazing memory. I could see the ocean on both the right and left multiple times, and the water was so clear that I could see reflections on the surface. My child was also very happy. I participated in a cultural experience where we had fun making flower crowns together. If I come back during this season, I definitely want to participate again.
この時期のハワイへ行くのは初めてでした。
どれくらい見れるのか?見れたらラッキーだなぐらいの気持ちでの参加申し込みだったのですが、結果は最高の思い出になりました。
右にも左にも何度も見え、海水が綺麗なので水面に姿が見えていました。
子供も大喜びでした。
カルチャー体験にも参加させてもらいました。花冠子供と楽しく作りました。
またこの季節に来たら、ぜひまた参加したいと思いました。
Thank you very much for boarding with us. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed your experience. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you aboard again when you visit Hawaii.
この度はご乗船頂きまして、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、ご乗船頂けますよう、スタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げます。
For an additional $10, you can also rent a bicycle, which is great since it's close to Kailua Beach. You can also extend your visit to Lanikai Beach and go to town. This time I only had beach items, but next time I want to try kayaking or stand-up paddleboarding.
プラス$10で、自転車も借りる事が出来、カイルアビーチに近くて良かったです。
ラニカイビーチにも足を伸ばせますし、タウンにも行けます。
今回はビーチアイテムのみでしたが、次回はカヤックかスタンドアップバトルボードに挑戦してみたいです。
Dear Mee,
Thank you for participating in the beach tour and for writing a review. We hope you will consider trying kayaking or SUP next time. We sincerely look forward to your visit.
Thank you.

I participated on February 4th, and to sum it up, it was amazing. On that day, we gathered at the shop inside the Queen Kapiolani Hotel on the east side at 8:35 AM. There were no Japanese employees at the shop, but they were accustomed to dealing with Japanese customers, and there were conversations with jokes in Japanese as well as signs in Japanese, so there was no need to worry if you can't speak English. We drove about three minutes from the shop to the beach right in front of the zoo. I was staying at the Aston Waikiki Beach Tower, but it was only about a 10-minute walk from the hotel to the beach, so my wife and others walked from the hotel to the beach. On that day, I didn't surf, but a total of six people participated, including my 16-year-old daughter, a Japanese family, and a Korean couple. Since it was my daughter's first time surfing, we requested a private lesson. This was the right choice. In a group, there is one instructor for every five people, which reduces the number of times you can catch a wave, but with a one-on-one lesson, there are frequent opportunities to ride the waves. Thanks to this, my daughter was able to enjoy surfing frequently and surprisingly quickly. After finishing, we returned to the shop, where they showed us images taken by a drone. There were both videos and still images, and for those interested in purchasing, they send the data for $50. The images were not just of my daughter; they included all participants, with about 300 still images and around 30 short videos. After paying, the data was sent to my specified iPhone at the shop in about 30 minutes. Including the tip, it is certainly not a cheap tour, but it was a once-in-a-lifetime memory. It felt very affordable to me.
2月4日に参加しましたが、結論から言いますと、最高でした。当日は朝8時35分に東側にあるクイーンカピオラニホテル内のショップに集合しました。店の従業員には日本人はいませんでしたが、日本人の扱いに慣れておられ、日本語でのジョークを交えた会話もあり、日本語での表示もあり、英語ができなくても心配はいりません。ショップから車で3分程走り、動物園の目の前のビーチに移動しました。私はアストンワイキキビーチタワーに宿泊していましたが、ホテルからビーチまで歩いて10分程度の距離のため、妻達はホテルから歩いてビーチまで来ました。当日、私はサーフィンをしませんでしたが、16歳の娘、日本人親子、韓国の男女と合計6名が参加しました。娘はサーフィン初めてのこともあり、プライベートでお願いしました。これが正解でした。やはりグループですと、コンダクター1人につき5人なので、波に乗れる回数が減るんですが、マンツーマンですと、頻繁に波に乗る機会があるんです。その甲斐もあって驚くほどはやく、娘は波乗りを頻繁に楽しんでました。終了後、ショップに戻り、ドローンで撮影した画像を見せてくれます。動画、静止画あって購入希望者は50ドルでデータ送信してくれます。娘1人が撮影されているものではなく、参加者全員が撮影されたもので静止画で300カット、短い動画で30カット位ありました。お金を支払うと30分程度でショップで指定した私のiPhoneに送信されてきました。チップ代を含めると決して安いツアーではありませんが一生の思い出。わたしにはとても安く感じました。
This is by far the best (and quickest) way to see the whole island of Oahu! I was amazed that in just a little over an hour we were able to see all of the major attractions of the whole island!
We saw everything from Pearl Harbor and Waikiki, to Diamond Head, Jurassic Valley, and even a waterfall that's only accessible from the air! The views were beyond breathtaking and the pilot made sure to turn the helicopter so that everyone could enjoy the view. He also provided a knowledgeable narration of Oahu's culture and history.
If you're visiting Oahu (or any of the islands) a circle island helicopter tour is definitely a must! You won't be disappointed!
The instructor was very kind and amazing! I want to ride again! I will definitely make a reservation the next time I come to Hawaii!
インストラクターに方がとても親切で最高でした!
また乗りたいです!
次にハワイ来た時も必ず予約します!
I visited the dream sandbar that is often featured on TV. The weather was absolutely perfect, to the point where the locals said it felt like summer, not winter in Hawaii. My daughters, aged 6 and 12, had a great time. My eldest was especially excited to participate in snorkeling and encountered over ten sea turtles. The shallow area in the middle of the ocean was truly magical and wonderful. The guide warned us about seasickness, but the sea was calm, and we were totally fine. I would love to go again.
TVでもよく紹介される憧れのサンドバーへ行きました。現地の方も冬のハワイとは思えない夏のような天気ですと言われるくらい最高の天気でした。
6歳と12歳の娘も一緒でしたがすごく楽しんでいました。特に長女はシュノーケリングにも参加し10匹以上の海亀も遭遇したと興奮していました。海の真ん中にこのそうな浅瀬があるのが本当に幻想的で素晴らしかったです。
ガイドさんが船酔い注意ですと言ったおられましたが海も穏やかで全然大丈夫でした。また行きたいと思います。
Aloha! This is the Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour. Thank you very much for participating. The weather was wonderful, wasn't it? Your daughter also joined the snorkeling and got to see so many turtles! I hope it became a wonderful memory. We all sincerely look forward to your next visit.
アロハ!キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーです。この度はご参加いただき誠にありがとうございました。素晴らしいお天気でしたね!!娘さんもスノーケルに参加して、そんなにたくさんの亀さんに会えたんですね!!素敵な思い出になったのではないでしょうか。またのお越しをスタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げております。
Before making the reservation, I was worried because there were many posts from people who didn't see any whales. However, on the day of the trip, the whales showed up as promised. The wind was strong, and my 2-year-old daughter was a bit uncomfortable, but when the whales appeared, she was completely captivated. Additionally, since it had just stopped raining, we were able to see a rainbow from the boat. I had low expectations for the meals included in the breakfast plan, and they turned out to be just as I expected...
予約前は体験談にくじらを見れなかった方の投稿が目立っていたので不安でしたが、当日はちゃんとくじらが出てきてくれました。
風が強くて2歳の娘は嫌がっていましたが、くじらが出てきたらじーっと見ていました。
また、雨上がりだったこともあり、船からは虹が見えました。
朝食付きのプランで食事は最初から期待していなかったのですが、その通りでした…
Thank you very much for boarding with us this time. We also appreciate your valuable feedback. As a future challenge, we would like to work on improvements with all staff members, including the person in charge. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you aboard again when you visit Hawaii.
この度はご乗船頂きまして、誠に有難うございます。また貴重なご意見、有難うございます。今後の課題として、責任者を含めスタッフ全員で改善に取り組みたいと思います。またハワイにお越しの際には、ご乗船頂けますよう、スタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げます。
The cruise itself was very enjoyable, and I was satisfied, but unfortunately, we didn't get to see any whales. It seems that whales did appear, but we were facing the opposite direction, and by the time we moved toward where the whales were, it was too late to catch them. Since they did show up, we didn't participate the next day either. It turned out to be a bit of an unfortunate situation...
クルーズ自体はとても楽しく、満足しましたが、肝心の鯨は見れませんでした。実際には鯨は現れたみたいですが、自分たちが反対の方向にいたことや、一瞬しか現れなく鯨のある方向に移動しても間に合いませんでした。現れたことには現れたので次の日も参加には至りませんでした。ちょっと不幸なパターンになりました、、、
Thank you very much for boarding with us this time. We are also disappointed that we were unable to observe any whales during this trip. We sincerely hope that you will join us again on your next visit to Hawaii during whale season. Our entire staff looks forward to welcoming you back.
この度はご乗船頂きまして、誠に有難うございます。また、今回は鯨の観測が出来なかった事は、私共も残念に思っております。次回鯨のシーズンにハワイへお越しの際には、再乗船頂けますよう、スタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げます。
To conclude, it was really great! The day we went was a Sunday, but the park was not crowded, and we were able to ride the water slides without waiting in line. I lost count of how many times we rode them! It's rare to have such an experience in Japan, so I was very satisfied! I also noticed that there were many Japanese people and tourists around. The shops were a bit pricey. Generally, we rented lockers, but the touch panel operation when renting them was a bit confusing. When the bus came to pick us up from the hotel, it arrived about 5 minutes late, which made me a little anxious.
結論から言いますと、すごくよかったです!私たちが行った日は日曜日だったのですが園内は空いており、ウォータースライダーは並ぶことなく乗ることができました。何回乗ったか分からないくらいです!日本ではここまでたくさん乗れることがあまりないので大満足でした!!周りの人も日本人や観光客が多いイメージ。売店は少し高めでした。基本的にロッカーを借りるのですが、借りる時にタッチパネルの操作があり、少しわかりづらかったです。ホテルにお迎えに来ていただく時にバスが集合時間の5分ほど遅れて到着したので少し焦りました。
I participated with my sixth grader, high school senior, and my 78-year-old mother, who joined us as an observer. The early morning pickup was a bit sleepy, but the excitement blew away that drowsiness. I thought it would be a matter of luck to meet dolphins, but we were able to see them early on, and two turtles even approached us! We took a lot of photos, and the data arrived via email for $60.
It was cold while the boat was moving due to the wind, but it was more bearable in the sun. I think having a hoodie and a large beach towel would be helpful. The crew members were all fun, and we had a great time. Lunch was a cheeseburger, which was very delicious. Motion sickness medication is a must. Although it was a day with little rocking, about four people had mini buckets.
We also went snorkeling, and the kids said the slide at that time was a lot of fun. All three of us are not great swimmers, but we managed to stay together with everyone. I think such an experience is quite rare. I'm glad I participated.
小6と高3と78歳の母と参加しました
母は見学で参加。
朝早くのピックアップは少し眠いですがその眠さを吹き飛ばしてくれる程の感動でした。
イルカと逢えるのも運もあるだろうな思っていましたが私たちは早い段階で会うことができしかも亀も2匹亀の方から近づいて来てくれました。
写真もとても沢山撮っていただきデータで(60ドル)でメールに届きました。
船が動いてる間は風があるので寒いですが日向に出ればマシでしたがパーカーと大きめのバスタオルがあればいいと思います。
クルーの皆さんも楽しい方ばかりで楽しく過ごすことができました。昼食はチーズバーガーでしたがとても美味しかったです。船酔いの薬は必須です。揺れが少ない日でしたが4人ほどミニバケツを持っていました。
シュノーケルもしましたがその時の滑り台がとても楽しかったと子供達は言っていました。
私達三人共泳ぎは苦手な方でしたがなんとか皆さんと離れることなく行動できました。
こんな体験は中々無いと思います。
参加して良かったです。
