Before boarding, we were informed that the sea conditions were poor, and it would likely not be possible to see fish or the reef through the glass bottom. The boat would also be very rocky. They assured us that those who wished to cancel would receive a refund, which was a sincere response. Additionally, although it was originally supposed to be in English only, we were fortunate that the staff included Japanese speakers, so there were no inconveniences, and we had a comfortable time.

By the way, on the day of the trip, not a single person chose to cancel; everyone, including babies and the elderly, opted to board.

乗船前の説明で、本日は海のコンディションが悪く グラスボトムで魚を見たり魚礁を見ることがおそらくできません。船もすごく揺れます。ですので キャンセルされる方は返金致します、と誠実な対応がありました。それと、もとは英語のみのはずでしたが、運がいい事に日本人含むスタッフだったので 不便なことは全くなく快適な時間を過ごせました。
ちなみに当日はキャンセルする方は一人もおらず、赤ちゃんや高齢者含め 全員乗船を選択しました。

I was worried because the venue is smaller compared to Las Vegas and Tokyo DisneySea, but I was amazed by the incredible impact. The size didn't matter; the production was also wonderful. I had so much fun that I want to see it again.

会場がラスベガスや東京ディズニーシーに比べ規模が小さいから心配してましたが
迫力が凄くて驚きました。
広さは関係無く
演出も素晴らしかった。また見に行きたいと思うほど楽しかった。

Since we are traveling to Hawaii as a couple on a private trip, we always rely on your services for transportation from the airport to the hotel and back. Even though we hardly speak any English, if we just wait at the designated spot, we are picked up and everything goes smoothly.

ハワイは夫婦で個人旅行なので、空港からホテル、ホテルから空港と
いつもお世話になっております。英語がほとんど出来ない私たちでも
言われた場所で待っていればピックアップしてスムーズに事が運びます

My family said this was the best experience and they had fun! Would definatley go again!

Driving a buggy through the vast nature was refreshing and a lot of fun. There are some pretty tough off-road sections, so you can have a thrilling experience as well. Watching the movie in advance will enhance your enjoyment even more.

バギーを自分で運転しながら広大な自然の中を巡るのは爽快でとても楽しかったです。
結構オフロードがキツい所もあるのでスリリングな体験も出来ます。
映画を事前に観ておくとより楽しめます。

I had always wanted to try this, so I experienced it, and it was even more fun than I imagined! At first, I was scared, but I gradually got used to it, and before I knew it, it was over.

On the same boat, there were two pairs of Japanese honeymooners, one pair of Korean honeymooners, and one Japanese parent-child duo, including us. We took videos with each other and shared them via AirDrop.

I brought my smartphone in a waterproof case, but when we were flying, I left it with my belongings. I think it's a good idea to take motion sickness medicine beforehand. I usually don't get seasick, but I took it just in case.

I found that the trick to not getting seasick is to face the direction of travel and not look down. You can store your belongings under the seat, so they won't get wet, but I recommend going with minimal luggage. If you frequently look down while taking things in and out, you will definitely get seasick…

The captain teaches you how to wear the life jacket in simple Japanese, so I don't think it will be a problem even if you don't understand English. They will also take plenty of photos if you request them. However, you will need to tip for that, haha. We gave them $20.

When we landed in the water, we got soaked up to our knees. Some people were soaked up to their waists, so be prepared to get wet.

Overall, it was so much fun, and I highly recommend it!

一度やってみたかったので、体験しましたが想像以上に楽しかった！
最初は怖かったですが、段々と慣れてきてあっという間に終わってしまいました。
同じボートに私たちを含む日本人ハネムーナーが2組、韓国人ハネムーナーが1組、日本人の親子が1組いました。同じボートに乗っていた人同士で動画を撮って、エアドロで送りあったりしました。
自分のスマホは防水ケースに入れて行きましたが、飛んでいる時は荷物と一緒に置いておきました。
酔い止めは飲んでおいた方がいいと思います。普段船酔いはしないですが、念の為飲んでおきました。
船酔いしないコツは進行方向をむく、下を向いたりしないことだなと思いました。
荷物は座るところの下に入れられるので、ぬれたりはしましませんが、最小限の荷物で行くのがオススメです。
荷物の出し入れで下を頻繁に向いたら確実に船酔いすると思います…
船長さんはライフジャケットの着方など簡単な日本語で教えてくれるので、英語が分からなくても問題ないと思います。
写真も希望すればたくさん撮ってくれます。
その分チップは必要ですが笑
私たちは20ドル渡しました。
着水の時は膝ぐらいまで浸かりました。
人によっては腰ぐらいまで浸かっていたので、ぬれる覚悟はしたほうがいいと思います。
とにかく楽しかったので、オススメです！

It's good that activities like SUP and snorkeling are available, but there's no explanation for why the sandbar doesn't appear, and everything is left up to the participants with very little staff involvement. This tour is great for those who want to play freely for about two hours.

サンドバーが出現しないことの説明がない中で、SUPやシュノーケルなどのアクティビティが用意されているのは良いが、すべて参加者任せで、スタッフの介入がほとんどない。
自由に、2時間程度遊びたい人には良いツアーです。

It was a high-quality performance that did not disappoint the usual expectations of Cirque du Soleil! It incorporated Hawaii's unique culture, music, and dance, creating a distinctive world. Compared to other Cirque shows in Las Vegas, I felt that the individual performances shone more than the group acts.

いつものシルクドソレイユの期待を裏切らないハイクオリティなパフォーマンスでした！ハワイ独自のカルチャー、音楽、舞踊が盛り込まれていて、独自の世界観が実現できていました。ラスベガスの他のシルクに比べると、グループよりも個人のパフォーマンスが光っていたと思います。

I chose this experience to fulfill my mother's wish to see tropical fish without having to enter the ocean. It turned out to be a great decision. The cruise in the Hawaiian waters before boarding the submarine and the transfer to the submarine offshore was also a valuable experience. Once we boarded, I believe there was an element of luck involved that day, but we were able to see many fish. We even got to see manta rays swimming gracefully.

海には入りたくないが熱帯魚を見たいという母の願いを叶えるために選びました。結果は大正解です。潜水艦に乗るまでのハワイの海のクルージング、沖での潜水艦への乗り換えも貴重な体験です。いざ乗り込んでからは当日の運要素もあると思いますが、たくさんの魚を観ることができました。優雅に泳ぐマンタも観られました。

The check-in process was easy to understand, and since the important information was provided in Japanese, there were no uncertainties at all! There were about five groups in our party, along with four staff members. The explanations were in English, but they demonstrated everything, making it easy to follow. During the break, we were provided with water and fruit. It was clear that they were attentive to safety, which allowed me to try everything with peace of mind. It was my first time, but I had a great time! Thank you very much!

チェックインもわかりやすいし、注意事項の確認も日本語なので不明点など一切なし！
一パーティに5組くらいで一緒に回りますが、スタッフも4人。
英語のみの説明ですが、やってみせてくれるのでわかりやすい。
途中休憩でお水やフルーツが提供されます。
安全に気を遣っていることがわかり、安心してトライできました。
初めてですが楽しめました！
ありがとうございました！

I arrived earlier than planned. While that's nice, the departure time for the return trip was also changed to an earlier time. I wish the return time had stayed as originally scheduled...

予定より早く到着しました。それは嬉しいが帰りの出発時刻もはやく変更された。帰りの時間は予定通りの時間が良かったな、、

It was our family's first time horseback riding, and since the pre-ride instructions were in Japanese, even beginners could ride without any issues. Riding in such a wonderful location was fantastic. I would love to participate again next time.

家族で初めての乗馬でしたが、乗馬前のレクも日本語だったので素人でも問題なく乗馬できました。素晴らしいロケーションでの乗馬最高でした。次回もまた参加してみたいです。

The tour guide and the pilot had high spirits, which made our time on the boat enjoyable. It became one of the fun memories for our family of ten, spanning three generations.

添乗員さんと操縦士さんのテンションが高くて、
気持ちよく船上を過ごすことができました。
親族総勢10名、3世代の楽しい思い出の一つになりました。

This was the highlight of our trip to Oahu. We had such an amazing time. My daughter who is six made friends with one of the staff and helped them clean all of the masks. We loved the snorkeling and the kayaking.. we were invited to join the speedboat, pulling the bananas out into the ocean and got to see some sea turtles! Everybody we spoke to was warm and inviting. The owner of the Boat even took time to explain to my son how the engines worked. Absolutely phenomenal experience. Thank you for everything.

I'm glad I could see dolphins up close! While snorkeling, I also saw various fish. I had requested photos, so I'm happy to have many beautiful pictures of our group both on the boat and underwater. The English explanations were so fast that I couldn't catch anything, so it was definitely the right choice to have a Japanese guide. As for the hula, I'm not sure if it can really be called a hula show... Overall, it was a lot of fun!!

イルカが近くで見られてよかったです！シュノーケリング中も、いろんなお魚が見えました。写真もお願いしていたので、船上でも水中でもグループでのきれいな写真がたくさん残せて嬉しいです。英語の説明が早口で何一つ聞き取れなかったので、日本語ガイド付きにして正解でした。フラに関しては、あれをフラショーと呼んでいいのか謎ですが…全体的にとても楽しかったです！！

this is a working tour. Yes, we got to do the rowing and worked to get out in the waves and ride it in. We are not the only ones on the water. We have to avoid all the swimmers who also wanted to ride the waves. Great fun! Great view! a bit of work but well worth it. We also got a little wet.

Had a wonderful day! Celebrating our 35th wedding anniversary in Hawaii! Kualoa ranch was also a perfect place to celebrate Mother’s Day!

It seemed like we could walk from our hotel in Waikiki, but we took a taxi called by the hotel to get to the Ala Wai Boat Harbor. When we arrived, the driver asked where to go, and when I gave him the address, he understood it was for parasailing. It was definitely better to pay $20, including tip, than to walk and get lost.

We arrived a bit early, so we checked in and waited in the van. Once we boarded the boat, we sped out to sea. There were three of us, and the rest were pairs, about four to five groups. We were fitted with harnesses and life jackets, and since we were the first group of three, we floated up from the back of the boat. We chose the height of 150 meters, and the view of Waikiki Beach was stunning. The weather was great, and it felt amazing.

It felt like we were on a swing, and while we were secured by the belt, I thought having a belt around the waist would provide more stability. However, I was able to take some photos with one hand free. Just before landing, we dipped slightly into the sea. I think we could land on the boat without getting wet, but our legs did get a little wet, which was a nice touch.

Our bags and sandals were stored under the boat seats, so they didn’t get wet. After we got off, the next group went up, and it was a continuous rotation. There was a note saying tips were always welcome, so I handed one out before getting off the boat.

The photos were $40, but they were worth it. We had 133 pictures taken. We were able to download them on the spot and received an SD card as well.

ワイキキのホテルから歩いても行けるようでしたが、ホテルで呼んでもらったタクシーで「アラワイボートハーバー」まで行ってもらって、どこ？って聞かれたので、番地を言うとパラセイリング？ってドライバーさんがわかってくれていてそこまで行けました。
チップ込で20$なら歩いて行って道に迷うより良かったと思います。
少し時間が早く着いてしまったので受付を済ませて、バンの中で待たせてもらいました。
ボートに乗り込むとすごいスピードで沖合へ出ます。私たちは3人組で他はペアが4～5組。
ハーネスと救命胴衣付けてもらって持っていると3人組の私たちが1番で、ボートの後ろの方からフワッと浮き上がり、高さ150mを選びましたがワイキキの浜を一望できて、天気も良くとても気持ち良かったです。
ブランコに乗っている気分でベルトに座りますが、腰にもベルトがあればもっと安定するかなと思いました。でも片手離して写真も少し撮れました。
着地の直前少し海に入ります。全く濡れずにボートに着地できると思いますが、ちょっと脚の方だけ海に浸かるのはサービスかな？それも楽しいです。
荷物とサンダルはボートの座席の下に入れるので濡れる事は無いです。
私たちが降りると次の組が上がり、次々入れ替わります。
チップはいつでもOKって書いてあったのでボート降りる前に渡しました。
写真は40$ですが買う価値あります。私たちのは133枚ありました。その場でダウンロードして、SDカードももらいました。

Enjoyed the hike in rainforest even though the hike seemed more like an intermediate level hike instead of a beginner's hike. (maybe I'm just out of shape more than I thought I was!) Driver to and from was friendly and knowledgeable about Manoa Falls and the surrounding areas. The bug spray, walking stick, and water bottle were a definite plus. Overall, we enjoyed the experience.

After dining on the open terrace, we moved indoors to enjoy the "Rock" A Hula Show. The show is wonderfully structured to showcase music from Hawaii and America, spanning from the past to the present. Even as a Japanese person, I found it enjoyable.

It starts with Hawaiian music and hula, gradually transitioning into the "Rock" era. When the show dives into the representatives of rock, "Elvis" and "Michael," the venue erupts with excitement! Everyone in the audience joins in singing! Since many of the songs are familiar to us, we had a great time. You can truly feel that the songs of "Elvis" and "Michael" are etched into the soul of Americans!

I wondered, "Rock?" even though I was in Hawaii, but I realized this was a fantastic form of entertainment in its own right! We had VIP seats, so we were in the front row, and the superstar who jumped off the stage even came into the audience! We could interact directly with them! My wife even got a kiss from Elvis, haha!

The fire dance that concluded the show was impressive! I highly recommend it! The perks of VIP seating include (1) a welcome drink plus one more drink, (2) priority at the buffet, allowing us to choose our meals without waiting in long lines, and (3) front-row seats at the show! You might receive a warm welcome from the superstars!

It was a wonderful show where traditional Hawaiian hula was elevated into super entertainment by the American people.

オープンテラスで食事後屋内シアターへ移動して「ロック」ア・フラショーを楽しみます。
ショーは過去から現在まで時代を追ってハワイとアメリカの音楽が楽しめる構成になっていて素晴らしい。日本人の私でも楽しめます。
出だしはハワイの音楽やフラを中心に進め、やがて「ロック」の時代へ。
ロックを代表する「プレスリー」「マイケル」に突入すると会場は大盛りあがり！会場参加者全員合唱！私たちも知ってる曲が多いので大いに楽しむことができます。やはり「プレスリー」「マイケル」の歌はアメリカ人の魂に刻まれているんだと実体感できます！
ハワイに来たのに「ロック？」とも思いましたが、これはこれで素晴らしいエンターテイメントだな！と感じました。
私たちはＶＩＰ席だったので最前列に座っていたのですが、ステージから飛び出したスーパースターは会場まで乱入！直接（！）触れ合うことができます。私の妻はプレスリーに挨拶キスまでしてもらってましたｗ！
ショーを締めくくるファイアーダンスはさすが！ぜひおすすめします！
ＶＩＰ席の特典は（１）ウェルカムドリンクの他に１モアドリンク付き（２）ビュッフェ優先で、長蛇の列に並ばす先に食事を選べます。（３）ショーでは最前席！スーパースターから熱い歓迎を受けることができる！かも！
ハワイの伝統的なフラをアメリカ国民がスーパーエンタテイメントに昇華した素晴らしいショーでした。

We had a tour with six people, guided by Chieko and Dan, who took us around Hanauma Bay. They provided attentive care, which made us feel safe and allowed us to enjoy the experience.

We were able to see many fish and even an eel, and the hour flew by. However, it did get a bit cold towards the end. I think a wetsuit is essential.

Making our own reservations, arranging transportation, and waiting in line to rent equipment and suits, as well as storing valuables, can be quite a hassle. With this tour, everything was arranged without any worries, and we were guided according to the day's conditions. The pick-up and drop-off were direct.

Thank you, Chieko! I had a great time. Thank you very much.

６人のツアーにチエコさんとダンさん二人ガイドがついて、ハナウマ湾を案内してくださいました。きめ細かく良く面倒を見てくださったので、安心して楽しめました。
沢山の魚や、ウツボなど、見ることができて、あっという間の1時間でした。が、最後は、寒くなってきました。ウェットスーツは必須だと思います。
自分で入場予約枠確保して足を手配したり、現地で並んで機材やスーツを借り、貴重品預けるのはのは、かなり面倒。これらが何の心配も無く、手配されていて、その日のコンディションに合わせて案内してもらえます。送迎も直行直帰でした。

チエコサン、お世話になりました。とても楽しかったです。ありがとうございました。

We had a wonderful time with the entire crew! The bbq was great as well! Would recommend doing this when in Hawaii! They took us to see turtles and I got some great pictures and video of turtles swimming!

My teenagers and I had a great experience with Captain Hosanna and her crew. Weather was windier than one might prefer, but ride was smooth and we saw turtles on the way and then again at the reef, with many other colorful fish. Great snacks, well-managed deck, and they even found a prescription snorkel for me last-minute. We had the hotel pickup and dropoff, which was timely and professional. Well-run operation and very friendly staff at every interaction.

At first, I was anxious, wondering if I could handle the 150 meters. But it was definitely more comfortable up in the sky than on the boat! I thought I might be scared at such a height, but it was totally fine. Once I got up there, it was stable, and I was amazed by the grandeur of the scenery. However, I was a bit nervous about changing my position, so I held onto the harness tightly and couldn't take many photos. I'm really glad I had the experience!

最初は、150m、どうしよう、耐えられるかな？と不安でしたが、空の上の方がボートの上より断然快適でした！
高いところで怖いかも？なんて思ってましたが、全然大丈夫でした。
上に上がってしまえば安定して、景色の雄大さに感動です。
ただ、やはり自分の体制を変えることに不安があり、ハーネスをしっかり握っていたので、写真はたくさんは撮れませんでした。
本当に体験できてよかったです！

I checked the tide and participated in the morning. The knee-deep water was decent, but I was surprised that it was cold even in May, probably due to the strong wind. My daughter was feeling cold the whole time and ended up wanting to get back on the boat early.

I didn't want to rent snorkeling gear, so I bought my own in Japan. I thought I saw something that mentioned we might encounter sea turtles, so I asked the guide if they could take us to a place where we could see them. They coldly replied that there are no sea turtles and that they wouldn't go to such a place. It seems that what I saw might have been a tour authorized by the state government.

The snorkeling set wasn't necessary; just a pair of goggles for the pool would have sufficed. The area enclosed by the buoys felt quite small.

Because of the strong wind, the stand-up paddleboard was easily swept outside the buoys, making it hard to enjoy. The donuts looked like they came in various types in the photos, but there was only one kind available.

The live music was lovely, but although it appeared to be a duet in the photos, there was only one performer. Next time I go, I think I will avoid this tour based on this experience.

潮位は調べて午前中に参加しました。
膝位でまずまずでしたが、風が強いせいか5月でも寒いのにびっくりです。娘はずっと寒がっていて早々に船に引き上げてしまいました。
シュノーケリング をレンタルするのが嫌で日本で購入して行きました。海亀に遭遇できるかもって文言を見た気がしたので、日本対応のガイドさんに海亀が見えるところに連れて行ってもらえるのですかと聞いた所、海亀なんていません。そんな所には行きませんと冷たく言い放たれてしまいました。どうも私が見たのは州政府公認許可を得ているツアーだったのかもです。
シュノーケリング のセットは必要なくただプールで使うゴーグルで事足りる感じでした。ブイで囲まれている面積も狭い感じでした。
風が強いのでSUPが流されてブイの外にすぐ出る感じであまり楽しめなかったです。
ドーナツも写真ではいろいろな種類が写ってますが1種類だけでした。
生演奏は素敵でしたが、写真では2人で演奏ですがお1人でした。
今度行くときは今回の事を踏まえてこのツアーにはしないかと思います。

The meeting place and the harbor weren't very windy, but at the actual activity location, it was quite windy and there were waves, so a few participants experienced seasickness. Fortunately, the crew was kind and helpful. The parasailing itself was pleasant, and we had a great view of Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head, which was quite nice.

集合場所や港の中はそんなに風が強く無かったのですが、実際のアクティビティ場所は風が強く波も有ったので船酔いする参加者が数人居ました。
幸いクルーの方が親切だったので助かりました。
パラセーリング自体は気持ち良く、ワイキキの浜辺やダイヤモンドヘッドも良く見えなかなか良かったです。

Guides were friendly, approachable and experienced in their craft. All questions and concerns were answered technically and thoughtfully. Would go again! 😃

This was my second time watching Rock-A-Hula, and the content had been updated since my last visit, making it feel fresh even for repeat visitors! The part that incorporated the world of the movie "Moana" really energized the entire venue, and it was especially impressive to see the joy on the children's faces.

Additionally, since I was seated close to the center front, I was able to see the performers' expressions and subtle movements up close. The fire dance was particularly breathtaking, with the heat and warmth of the flames creating an incredible atmosphere. The sense of realism was so strong that I could even see the performers sweating, making me feel fully immersed in the world of the show.

The buffet I enjoyed before the show was also highly satisfying, with a wide variety of dishes that made the dining experience enjoyable. There were whole pineapples on the tables, and when opened, they revealed cut pineapple inside! It was a rare opportunity to enjoy pineapple in such a grand way, adding to the special Hawaiian experience.

Moreover, the hula lesson held in the buffet area was memorable. The audience was able to participate together, creating a wonderful sense of unity and excitement throughout the venue. The atmosphere was very welcoming for beginners, allowing everyone to enjoy a Hawaiian vibe even before the show started.

Located in the heart of Waikiki, it's also appealing that many hotels are within walking distance. This makes it easy to join after sightseeing or shopping, allowing for an efficient way to enjoy within a limited travel schedule. It's the perfect entertainment for a Hawaiian night, combining a show, dining, and interactive experiences. I highly recommend this show for family trips!

2回目のRock-A-Hula鑑賞でしたが、前回とはまた内容が更新されており、リピーターでも新鮮な気持ちで楽しめました！映画『Moana』の世界観を取り入れたパートでは会場全体が盛り上がっており、特に会場にいた子どもたちが喜んでいたのが印象的でした。

また、今回は中央前方の席だったこともあり、ステージとの距離が非常に近く、演者の表情や細かな動きまでしっかり見ることができました。特にファイヤーダンスは圧巻で、炎の熱気や温かさが伝わってくるほどの迫力。演者の汗まで見えるほど臨場感があり、ショーの世界に入り込んだような没入感を味わえました。

ショー前に利用したビュッフェも満足度が高く、料理の種類が豊富で、食事の時間からしっかり楽しめました。テーブルには丸ごとのパイナップルが置かれており、開けると中にはカットされたパイナップルが！普段なかなかできないくらい豪快にパイナップルを味わうことができ、ハワイらしい特別感を感じられました。

また、ビュッフェ会場で行われたフラレッスンも印象的でした。観客も一緒に参加できるスタイルで、会場全体が自然と一つになって盛り上がっていたのがとても良かったです。フラ初心者も気軽に参加しやすい雰囲気で、ショーが始まる前からハワイらしい時間を楽しむことができました。

ワイキキ中心部に位置しているため、多くのホテルから徒歩でアクセスできるのも魅力のひとつです。観光やショッピングの後にも参加しやすく、限られた旅行時間の中でも効率よく楽しめると感じました。ショー・食事・参加型体験をまとめて楽しめる、ハワイの夜にぴったりのエンターテインメントです。家族旅行にもぜひおすすめしたいショーです！

Since it was a solo trip to Hawaii, I participated alone, but I enjoyed snorkeling and kayaking. Being an older lady, it was challenging to get into the kayak, but thanks to the kind staff, I was able to get on safely, which was great. All the staff were very friendly, and I had a wonderful time.

ひとりでのハワイ旅だったのでひとりで参加したがシュノーケリングやカヤックを楽しんだ。おばちゃんなのでカヤックに乗るのが大変だったが親切なスタッフのおかげで無事に乗れたのはよかった。スタッフのみんながとてもフレンドリーで楽しい時間を過ごせた。

The morning tour was fully booked, so I joined the afternoon tour. The afternoon was perfect for snorkeling, and I had a great time. The atmosphere on the boat and the staff were kind, and I truly made wonderful memories.

午前のツアーは空きが無く、午後のツアーに参加しました。
午後はシュノーケリングするのには最適で、ずっと楽しめました。
船の中の雰囲気やスタッフの方も優しくて、本当にいい思い出が出来ました。
