I visited at the end of May on a weekday. The location is about a 40-minute drive from Honolulu Airport, even further from Waikiki. There are package tickets that include official shuttle bus service, or you can add shuttle service as an option, but it costs about 5,000 yen per person. It's also possible to take a bus transfer, but it takes about 1.5 to 2 hours, so I can't recommend that. When I checked Uber from Waikiki at 9:40, it was $31 one way, so I definitely recommend going by Uber!

I arrived in time for the 10:30 opening and entered. There are few changing rooms, so I think it's better to wear your swimsuit from the hotel. You can store your belongings in lockers. The large locker costs $22, and the small locker costs $18. It was more expensive than I had researched beforehand. Even the small locker was large enough to hold clothes and valuables for two people.

I got used to the wave pool and was ready to go to the slides, but I was surprised to find that many of the slides were out of service. On that day, popular slides like the Waianae Coaster, Shaka, and Ohana Highway were all closed, and the lazy river was also not in operation.

Since there was no choice, I went to the end of the line for the slides that were operating, but the staff told me that this slide would also be closed, so I had to go somewhere else. It hadn't even been an hour since the park opened... It seemed that there were not enough staff, and even the attractions that were operating were on a rotation. Because of this, people concentrated on the slides that were open, and I had to wait an hour for some of them.

Also, that day the closing time was early at 3 PM. With only four and a half hours available, I ended up waiting for an hour and couldn't enjoy the slides at all. The slides themselves are really fun, but since they take up almost a whole day, I recommend them for those who have several days for their trip. On the way back, I was able to get an Uber quickly for $40.

5月末の平日に行きました。
場所はワイキキからだと、ホノルル空港よりさらに先になり、クルマで約40分ほどかかります。オフィシャルの送迎バスがついたパッケージチケットや、オプションで送迎をつけることもできますが、一人約5000円かかります。またバスを乗り継いで行くことも可能ですが、1.5時間〜2時間かかるそうなのでオススメはできません。
ワイキキで9:40にUberで調べたら片道31ドルだったので、絶対にUberで行くのがオススメです！！

10:30のオープンに合わせて到着し、入場。更衣室は数が少ないのでホテルで水着を着ていく方がいいと思います。ロッカーで荷物を預けられます。大きいロッカーは22ドル、小さいロッカーは18ドルでした。事前に調べていたより値上げしてました。小さいロッカーでも着替えや貴重品を2人分預けても十分な大きさでした。

波のプールで身体を慣らし、いざスライダーへと思いましたが、びっくりすることに運休のスライダーが多いことに気づきました。
この日はワイアエナコースター、シャカ、オハナハイウェイなど魅力的な人気スライダーが軒並み運休、加えて流れるプールも稼働していませんでした。

仕方ないので、動いてるスライダーに並ぼうと列の最後尾に行くと、このスライダーは運休になるから別に行ってくれと係員から言われました。まだ開園から1時間経ってないのに、、スタッフが少ないようでなんと稼働してるアトラクションすらローテーションで回しているのです。そのせいで動いてるスライダーに人が集中して、滑べるまで1時間待ったものもありました。

またこの日は閉園時間が早く15時。
4時間半しかないのに1時間も待たされ、結局、全然スライダーを楽しめませんでした。
スライダー自体はすごく楽しいですが、ほぼ一日使ってしまうので日数のある旅行の方にオススメです。
帰りもUberがすぐ来る場で40ドルで帰れました。

After finishing the zip line and returning to Waikiki, I received an email from Coral Crater. My husband and I can't speak English at all, so I can't say for sure, but it felt like the content expressed anger about not receiving a tip. There were three containers labeled "tips" outside the building at chest height, so I put some money in one of them. It was the moment when the fun experience turned into an unpleasant memory.

ジップラインを終えてワイキキに戻って来たぐらいに、コーラルクレーターからメールが来ました。私達夫婦は、まったく英語が話せないので、確かな事はいえませんが。チップを貰ってないと言う怒りの様な内容に感じました。私は建物の外にあった、胸の高さ位にチップと書いた入れ物が３つあっので、その内のひとつに入れました。楽しかった事が嫌な思い出に変わった瞬間です。

Minako, who attended to us, was incredibly kind! 😍 We got to see so many dolphins, it was the best! 😆😆 I want to go again! ✨

アテンドをしてくださったミナコさん‼︎
めちゃくちゃ親切でした😍
イルカもたくさん見れて最高でした😆😆

また行きたいです✨

I was able to use it with peace of mind without any troubles. Thank you very much. I would like to use it again next time.

特にトラブルもなく、安心して利用できました。ありがとうございました。また、次回も利用したいと思います。。

Hanauma Bay was very beautiful. I participated from the morning, and at that early hour, the tide hadn't come in yet, so the corals were very close, and I could see the fish without snorkeling. I went just before Golden Week, but the water temperature was low and it was cold. There weren't many colorful fish, but I was very satisfied.

ハナウマ湾とても綺麗でした
午前から参加したのですが、朝イチの時間はまだ潮が満ちておらず、珊瑚が近すぎてシュノーケルなくても魚が目視できる感じでした
GW直前にいったのですが、水温が低く、寒かったです
カラフルなお魚はあまりいませんでしたが、大満足でした

If you have time, I think you would enjoy a longer movie location tour instead of a half-day tour, or even horseback riding. This tour has beautiful scenery, but basically, you can only see similar views.

時間があるなら、半日ツアーではなく滞在時間が長い映画のロケ地巡りや、馬に乗った方が楽しめると思います。このツアーも景色は綺麗ですが、基本的に似たような景色しか見れません。

The horse was very gentle, and it felt like it had been trained on the route and walking speed, so even though it was my first time, I was able to ride it well. I was disappointed that there were no movie filming locations to visit along the riding route.

お馬さんはとっても大人しくて、ルートの進み方や歩くスピードなど教え込まれてる感じで、初めてでしたが乗りこなせました。乗馬ルートに映画の撮影場所の見学が無くて残念でした。

I picked a full day with Lunch, the lunch was good, the snorkel on secret island was amazing lots of fishes to see, some good activities too. Though I would recommend half a day if you are not in a large as many activities require a lot of people to make it fun.

Departing from the Sheraton Waikiki in the heart of Waikiki. Everything is in English, and there are no Japanese speakers. The explanations are clear, so it's manageable.

The life jackets are the type you inflate yourself, but they are used by other companies as well, and as long as you inflate them properly, there are no issues.

The sea turtle snorkeling is just off the coast of Waikiki, right after departure. This time, we saw two turtles.

It took some time to find the turtles, but in the meantime, we enjoyed snorkeling with various fish.

Whether they are being fed or not, the fish come close, allowing you to experience swimming alongside them.

After snorkeling, we started sailing. In addition to free snacks, there are alcoholic beverages available for purchase.

Having a beer in Hawaii's dry climate after snorkeling was fantastic.

The waves during sailing were a bit high, but since the boat is a catamaran, it was not a problem. Once you get used to it, it becomes a fun attraction.

ワイキキの中心部シェラトンワイキキ横から出港。
全て英語で、日本人はいません。
説明は分かりやすいので、なんとかなります。

ライフジャケットは、自分で空気を入れて含ませるタイプですが、他社でも使われていて、しっかり空気を入れれば問題ありません。

ウミガメシュノーケリングは出港して直ぐのワイキキ沖。
今回は2匹いました。

今回、ウミガメを探すのに時間がかかりましたが、その間は様々な魚とシュノーケリング。

餌付けをされているのか、近づいきて、一緒に泳いでいる感覚を味わえます。

シュノーケリングの後は、セーリング開始。
無料のスナックの他、有料でアルコールもあります。

シュノーケリング後、ハワイのカラッとした気候の中で飲むビールは最高でした。

セーリング中の波は、少し高いですが、船が双胴船なので問題なし。
慣れると楽しいアトラクションになります。

When heading to the location on foot or by bike, you might wonder, "Am I going the right way?" but following the navigation is perfectly fine. The crew on board is full of humor, making it a relaxing experience, and the excitement with other groups gradually builds up to a maximum tension. My wife, who is not fond of heights, said, "I'm glad I did this!" with a big smile, and she was very satisfied. I absolutely recommend it.

徒歩やbiki等で現地に向かうと「この先であってる？」と感じますがナビどおりで大丈夫です。乗船クルーもユーモアたっぷりでrelax出来ますし他のグループとの盛り上がりで次第にtension maxへ。
高い所が苦手な妻も「やって良かった！」とニコニコ顔で大満足でした。
絶対にオススメします。

It was my first experience with snorkeling, but the instructor was always there to guide me and help me, so I was able to complete it safely. The waves were strong, and I didn't get to see any sea turtles, but I was able to see some fish, and it was a good experience. I was advised to rent a wetsuit to avoid scraping my knees, but I managed to get through without one.

シュノーケリング初体験でしたが、常にインストラクターの方が声掛けや手をひいて下さり、無事に終えることができました。
波が強く、ウミガメさんには会えませんでしたが、それなりにお魚さんも見れましたし、良い体験でした。
膝等を擦り剥かない様、ウエットスーツのレンタルも勧められましたが、なんとか無しで乗り切れました。

We booked this for our last evening on the island, and it was an amazing way to end our trip. The crew were all so nice, the entertainment was fun and interactive, and seeing the fireworks from the water on our final night was a great way to say farewell to the island.

As a tourist, I was able to enjoy beautiful scenery at places that required joining a tour. I also saw plenty of sea turtles and fish. The price was a bit high, but I had a great time throughout, the lunch was delicious, and overall, I’m glad I participated!

観光客としてはツアーに参加しないと行けない場所で綺麗な景色を楽しむことができました。ウミガメやお魚もいっぱい見れました。値段は少し高いですが、終始楽しく過ごすことができ、お昼ご飯も美味しく、総合的に参加して良かったです！

All the staff speak English.

Before surfing, there is an explanation at the store, and there are Japanese translations available.

After making a reservation, a consent form will be sent via email in English. You can fill it out while translating, so there’s no problem.

During surfing, the instructions are in English, but it's simple English, making it easy to understand and stand up on the board.

The view is great, facing Diamond Head on Waikiki Beach.

A wonderful benefit here is the option for additional photography for a fee. It’s quite pricey, but since they use drones for video recording, it creates amazing memories. The video can also be used to check your body movements for improving your surfing skills.

スタッフは全員英語です。

サーフィン前に店舗で説明がありますが、日本語表記あります。

予約後、事前承諾書が英語でメールが来ます。
こちらは翻訳しながら入力すれば問題ありません。

サーフィン中は英語ですが、簡単な英語なので分かりやすく簡単に立つことができます。

景色はワイキキビーチのダイヤモンドヘッド側なのですごく良いです。

ここの素晴らしいメリットは追加料金の撮影。
結構な値段がしますが、ドローンを使った動画撮影なので、素晴らしい思い出になります。
動画はサーフィンステップアップの為、体の使い方の確認に使えました。

Had a great day out on the sandbar with great music super helpful crew good food, beautiful warm water amazing scenes lots to do super recommended

We are visiting from Australia and very impressed with the service and quality of this tour. Bus driver was hilarious, he had all the Dad jokes and was very informative. The Pearl Harbor Tour was both informative and respectful. Plus we received a delicious lunch. Bus was very comfortable and clean and on time. Would definitely recommend.

It was a very enjoyable experience, just as the reviews said. I recommend participating in clothes that you don't mind getting sandy.

口コミの通りとても楽しい体験でした。
本当に砂砂になりますので、捨てても良い服での参加をオススメいたします。

I loved my experience everyone was knowledgeable, provided donuts for breakfast, and the activities provided were amazing. Worth the money!

I signed up for this tour because I wanted to see the sandbar. There were Japanese staff members who provided explanations in Japanese very kindly. Additionally, there were foreign staff members who could speak Japanese, which made it very comfortable. The blue of the sea, the blue of the sky, and the colors of the coral reef were indescribably beautiful. I participated with my colleagues from work, and everyone enjoyed experiences like snorkeling, kayaking, and stand-up paddleboarding. We had a great time and felt like kids again. One regret I have is that the sandy beach didn't appear... I hope the sea remains beautiful forever.

サンドバーを見たくってこのツアーに申し込みました。日本人のスタッフさんもいて、日本語で説明も丁寧にしてくれました。また、外人のスタッフさんも日本語話せる人もいてとても快適でした。海の青さ、空の青さ、そしてサンゴ礁の海の色、何とも言えない美しさでした。会社の同僚と参加したのですが皆それぞれシュノーケリング、カヤック、SUPの体験をし、楽しく過ごせました。子供に戻ったようにはしゃぎまくっていました。一つ心残りは砂浜が出なかった事です・・。
いつまでも綺麗な海であります様に。

I made a reservation the day before, recommended by a local resident. As soon as the reservation was completed, a voucher with a QR code for my assigned seat was issued.

The performance had a Hawaiian vibe with dances and atmosphere, and the immersive experience of Cirque du Soleil was very satisfying.

If you're looking to enjoy something on a Hawaiian night, I highly recommend this experience.

One surprising thing is that as long as there are no flashes during the performance, photography and video recording are allowed.

By the way, the photos were taken from the cheapest seat in the back.

現地在住の方に勧められて、前日に予約しました。
予約完了と同時に、座席指定されたQRコード付きのバウチャーが発券されました。

ハワイらしいダンスや雰囲気がありつつ、シルクドソレイユの臨場感のある公演は大満足でした。

ハワイの夜、何か楽しみたい時には、非常にオススメ出来る内容です。

驚いことが1点、公演中はフラッシュさえ無ければ、写真も動画も撮影OKでした。

ちなみに写真は、後方の1番安い席から撮影しています。

This was our 4th trip to Oahu, I’ve been wanting to do the Kaneohe Sandbar for a while. The boat ride to the sand bar was great, we enjoyed the live music. We did the morning one, it was a tad bit windy and overcast so it was a little cold for our little ones to enjoy but we still got in the water and enjoyed the views, would definitely love to do again!

I was treated very well by someone from Saipan! Their Japanese was excellent, and our conversation was interesting! They also taught me about stand-up paddleboarding, so I had no worries!

サイパン出身の方にとてもよくしていただきました！日本語がお上手でお話も面白かったです！サップ等も教えていただけるので心配いりませんでした！

This is the entertainment I wanted to see, rock and hula! One more king of rock and roll! It's a great memory to be able to take a photo with the performers at the end.

コレが見たかった、ロックとフラのエンターテイメント！
ワンモアーキングオブロックンロール！
最後に出演者と写真を撮れるのはいい思い出になる〜

It was very large in scale, and it felt great to see both the ocean and the green mountains. There were several spots where we could stop to take photos and switch drivers. When we arrived at Kualoa Ranch, there was a Japanese staff member who explained everything very politely, so we could enjoy ourselves without any worries. I was a bit concerned after reading reviews about long wait times, but I didn't feel that way at all. After the activities, we had some time to enjoy a meal as well. However, it was crowded and took a while, so I recommend going early after the activities. It was such a wonderful experience that I would love to participate again if I go to Hawaii next time.

非常にスケールが大きく、海も山の緑も見られて気持ちが良かったです。何ヶ所かスポットがあり、そこで止まって写真を撮ったり運転を交代することができました。
クアロアランチに到着すると日本人のスタッフさんがいて、とても丁寧に説明して下さったので何も不安なく楽しむことができました。
待ち時間が長い等の口コミを見て少し心配していましたが、あまりそのようには感じなかったです。
アクティビティ終了後に時間があったのでお食事もいただくことができました。ただ混雑していて時間がかかったのでアクティビティ終了後に早めに行くことをおすすめします。
またハワイに行くことがあれば次回も参加したいほど素晴らしい体験でした。

I participated with my daughter! The transportation was an additional fee, but they came to pick us up on time, making it easy to get around. It was also helpful that there were staff members who provided explanations in Japanese when we arrived at the site. The pool had both thrilling rides and areas for small children to enjoy, making it a place where the whole family could have fun. Time flew by!

娘と一緒に参加させてもらいました！
送迎は別料金でしたが時間通りに
お迎えに来てくださり楽に移動が出来ました。現地に着くと日本語で説明をしてくださるスタッフの方がいらっしゃったのも助かりました。
プールは絶叫系と小さなお子様が楽しめるエリアもあり家族みんなで楽しめる所でした。時間があっという間に過ぎました！

I liked the tour but I wouldn’t recommend it, except perhaps for small kids. The kayaking and paddle board are limited to a pretty small area, so it’s kind of boring. And the snorkeling was pretty bad during low tide because you basically can’t go anywhere.

I enjoyed snorkeling and stand-up paddleboarding at the beautiful Kaneohe Sandbar. The weather was great, and the water was clear, allowing me to encounter schools of fish and many sea turtles.

On the way back, there was a surprise stop at Leonard's Malasada Wagon, making it a very satisfying activity.

美しいカネオヘサンドバーでシュノーケリングやSUPを満喫、天気も良く水中の透明度もあり魚群やたくさんのウミガメに出会うことができました。

帰りはレナーズのマラサダワゴンに立ち寄るサプライズもあり、大満足のアクティビティでした。

The weather was great, and I had a wonderful experience. It seemed like they adjusted the angle, and I could see Diamond Head right in front of me from the sky! It was a quick experience, but I would love to do it again when I visit Hawaii.

天気にも恵まれてとても良い経験ができました。角度も調整してくださっているようで上空では目の前にダイヤモンドヘッドが見えました！あっという間の体験でしたがまたハワイに行った際はやりたいです。

Dan and Chieko were extremely professional, and great with our kids (6 and 8). They assisted the little one, and escorted us back to beach mid-tour when the kids got tired. Beautiful tour and great people 👏
