All Reviews for Food & Dining Experiences

The show was fairly good. However, being outdoors, it is affected by the weather. When I went, it started to drizzle, making it hard to enjoy at a leisurely pace. The show had impressive elements, like the fire display, but the food was lacking. Since it's a buffet, everyone lines up at once, and some items run out if you're at the back of the line. The taste was also mediocre, so I feel like once was enough for me.

ショーはそれなりによかった。
が、屋外なのもあり、天候に左右される。私のときは、小雨が降ってきて、ゆっくり楽しむところじゃなかった。
ショーは炎のところなど、見応えはあるのだが、
料理がいかんせん、いまいち。
ビュッフェなので、みな一斉にならび、モノによっては後ろの方だと品切れに。
味もいまいちなので、一度行ったらもういいかな、という感じ。

It was a wonderful cruise had a lot of fun. Would it again

I always wanted to visit the sandbar, so I joined this tour, which was just right in terms of price and time☆ The bus on the way there was quite large, but it was mostly filled with Japanese people! The guide was also Japanese.

As we got closer to Kaneohe, oh no? The weather… heavy rain!! (laughs) The guide, Yuki, encouraged us by saying, "Those who are going into the water will get wet anyway! It's okay!" but it was pouring. (laughs) We quickly boarded the boat and set off! The crew was really enthusiastic and got everyone excited! Yuki even dressed in a bikini to pump up the energy! (As expected!)

Since the weather at the sandbar can change quickly, we started with turtle watching while hoping for the best. Gradually, the rain lightened up (^ ^) and we saw a ton of sea turtles! We even spotted a big manta ray—amazing! By the time we arrived at the sandbar, the rain had stopped, and the water level was about to our ankles. We took lots of photos here!

After that, it was snorkeling time, but my mom, who is in her 50s, stayed on the boat while I went snorkeling alone. The snorkeling lasted about 20 to 30 minutes. I was able to float around with the sea turtles☆

Afterward, we got back on the boat for snack time. While enjoying sandwiches outside, it started pouring again. (laughs) We dashed back inside the boat!!

It was a day plagued by rain, but the sandbar was beautiful as expected☆ The snorkeling might be a bit short for experienced people, but swimming with the sea turtles made for great memories! Thank you, Yuki~~!!

サンドバーに一度は行ってみたくて、価格的にも時間的にもちょうど良いこちらのツアーに参加しました☆
行きのバスは結構大型ですが、ほぼ日本人！ガイドの方も日本の方でした。
カネオヘに近づくにつれて、、おや？天気が…豪雨！！笑
「海に入る人はどうせ濡れるから！大丈夫！」とガイドのユキさんが励ましてくれましたが、ひどい雨。笑
すぐボートに乗り込み、いざ出発！
クルーの方は一生懸命盛り上げてくれます！ユキさんも気合いを入れてビキニ姿に！(流石です！)
サンドバーは天気が変わりやすいとのことだったので、期待しながらまずはウミガメウォッチング。そうすると雨もだんだん小降りに(^ ^)しかもウミガメ大量発生！ついでに大きなマンタも見れました〜！最高！
サンドバーに着く頃には雨も止み、水位はくるぶしくらい。ここでたくさん写真を撮りました！
そのあとシュノーケルタイムですが、一緒に参加していた50代の母は船に残りわたしだけシュノーケルへ。
シュノーケルは時間にして20〜30分くらいです。ウミガメちゃんと一緒にプカプカできました☆

そのあと船に乗りスナックタイム。外で気持ちよ〜くサンドウィッチを食べていると、またまた大雨。笑
急いで船の中にダッシュ！！

終始雨に悩まされた日でしたが、やはりサンドバーは綺麗です☆シュノーケルは慣れてる人には短いかもですが、ウミガメちゃんと泳げて良い思い出になりました！
ユキさんありがとう〜〜！！

My wife and I went on a Thursday and had a wonderful time. There were two boats, one for English speaking people and one for Japanese speaking. When we got to the sandbar they tied the boats together and we explored the sandbar. My wife and I practiced or snorkeling skills and checked out our equipment, walked around the sandbar, and then played water volleyball. To my surprise, not many people wanted to play so my wife and I joined in. Our team consisted of us and 3 from the Japanese boat while the other team was 2 of the guides and 3 Japanese people. We may not have spoken the same language but it did remind me that laughter is a language we all share and speak. When we got back on the boat, we enjoyed a cheeseburger in paradise and were serenaded by one of the guides. We then went looking for turtles on the way to reef (we saw 3). The reef was amazing and we saw a turtle and tons of fish. After snorkeling for about 30 minutes, it was time to head back. Our final treat was seeing the original Gilligan's Island on the way back to port. We have lasting memories and it was a great time.

I participated in a tour that included lunch. The water was quite deep, reaching up to my chest. People who joined in the morning said it wasn't that deep. There was a Japanese guide, so I felt reassured since I could communicate in Japanese. It gets really sunny, so sunscreen is a must. There is a toilet on the boat, but it was dirty, so I didn't want to use it. The wind was strong, and during lunch, plates and cups almost flew away, so most people ate inside. The hamburger for lunch was just average. The sea was beautiful, and I was able to see sea turtles.

ランチ付の便で参加しました。
結構水深が深くて、胸までありました。
朝に参加した人はそんなに深くなかったと言っていました。
日本人のガイドの人がいたので、日本語が通じるし、安心です。
すごくやけるので、日焼け止めは必須です。
船の中にトイレはありますが、汚いので行きたくはなかったです。
風が強くて、ランチのときにお皿やコップが飛びそうになり、ほとんどの人は中で食べていました。
ランチのハンバーガーは普通かなって感じです。
海はキレイで海亀も見れました。

Although the weather on the day wasn't very good, I was able to see sea turtles and snorkeling was fun. The staff were kind and their conversations were entertaining! One point to note is that since you have to walk to the bus, if the weather is bad, I think it's a good idea to bring a folding umbrella and a long-sleeved jacket for changing.

当日天候はあまり良くなかったものの海ガメを見る事も出来たしシュノーケリングも楽しかったです。
スタッフの方々も優しくトークも面白かったです！
注意点は、バスまで歩くため天候が悪い場合、折り畳みガサと着替えに長袖の上着を持って行った方がいいと思います。

I was looking forward to walking on the sandbar, but it seems that sandbars are very rare.
I wouldn't recommend it for those who don't want to swim.
If the water had been knee-deep, I could have gone into the sea, but it was above my waist.
I was deceived by the photos and the promotional text.

砂州の上を歩くのをお楽しみにしていましたが、砂州が現れることはごく稀だそうです。
泳ぐ気が無い人にはお勧めしません。
水が膝下ぐらいだったら海にはいれたのですが、腰以上でした。
写真とうたい文句にだまされました。

The weather was unfortunately cloudy. The water level at the sandbar was about up to my waist, but I was able to see sea turtles and manta rays, making it a fun tour!

お天気はあいにくの曇。。 サンドバーはもも位までの水位でしたがウミガメ、マンタも見れて、楽しいツアーでした♪

This was my first trip to Hawaii. Although I had a standard seat, it was close enough to the stage and very impressive. There were scenes where guests could participate, which was a lot of fun and gave me a sense of being in a foreign country. To be honest, the food was a bit disappointing, so I think it's better to consider meals separately. Also, since there is no shade, some seats are exposed to the blazing sun even in the evening. Hats and sunglasses are a must!

初めてのハワイ旅行です。スタンダードシートでしたが舞台には十分近く、迫力満点でした。ゲスト参加のシーンもあり、非常に楽しく、異国感を味わえました(=´∀｀)人(´∀｀=)食事は正直微妙でした、、食事は別で考えたほうがいいと思います。また、日除けがないため、夕方ですが席によっては炎天下に暫しさらされます。帽子やサングラスなど必須です☆

Crew was fun and very encouraging to all that were new to snorkelling I was travelling on my own and I felt a part of the whole group. Loved seeing the turtles

Water was choppy so it made it difficult to ride. Some tips and spills. Will definitely need some upper body strength.

I actually wanted to experience the buggy ride and horseback riding, but unfortunately, the day I planned was fully booked. I participated in the movie tour, jungle tour, and a cruise, and I’m glad I did all of them. On the cruise, I was able to see swimming sea turtles in the distance, and during the movie tour, I enjoyed the beautiful and lively Japanese guide's easy-to-understand explanations while riding in a quirky, vintage bus and taking in the great outdoors. The jungle tour allowed me to ride in a Swiss military jeep and experience the impressive driving of a local handsome guide while enjoying the stunning views of Hawaii. The food, however, was not something I could honestly say was delicious. Next time, I’d like to challenge myself with the buggy ride or horseback riding!

本当は、バギーや乗馬を体験したかったのですが、あいにく予定の日が満席。映画ツアーとジャングルツアーとクルージングに参加しました。が、どれも参加して良かったです。クルーズでは泳ぐウミガメを遠くに見られたし、映画ツアーでは美人ではつらつとした日本人ガイドさんのわかりやすい説明を聞きながらポンコツな味のあるバスに乗って大自然を満喫できました。ジャングルツアーはスイスの軍事用ジープに乗って現地のイケメンの迫力ある運転を体験しながらハワイの絶景を鑑賞できました。食事はお世辞にも美味しいとは言えなかったです。次回はバギーか乗馬にチャレンジしたいですね！

We got the vow renewal package for our parents and they had a wonderful time. The views, food and entertainment were absolutely perfect :) The staff took a video on my mother-in-laws phone and they also received a special photo. They absolutely loved it and said they would do it again :) They said the staff were awesome!!!

Of everything we did seeing the Arizona & USS Missouri was our favorite. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and courteous. We learned so much history and was just at awe to get to see Pearl Harbor!

Great adventure! Loved the crew, the sandbar, the BBQ and the snorkel. Highly recommend for families.

the package includes 4:00 pm late admission, followed by the ali'i luau (dinner and show), then about an hour break before the start of "Ha" (the night show). there's a lot to see at the PSC and unfortunately you don't get to enjoy much of the park with a late admission, so if we'd had it over to do again we would've tried to get a package that let us enter earlier. the luau was really enjoyable, and the food in the buffet was surprisingly tasty! there's an hour between the end of the luau buffet and "Ha", so we went to see the Hawaiian history movie (sorry, can't remember the name of it), which involved 15 minutes of watching gorgeous scenery. "Ha" itself reminded many of us in the group of a polynesian version of "Lion King the musical", but the fire dancing finale was spectacular--definitely the highlight.

We chose the Royal package, it was alot of fun sitting up close and getting to eat first! There were lots of activities to do before dinner and everyone was very friendly and helpful. The alcoholic drinks are very "light", drink your free ones but save your money on the others. Buy some of the hand made jewelry instead!!

Jenner was awesome really made the adventure fun!!

I heard that the sandbar, which looks like something out of a magazine, can only be seen twice a month, so I was hopeful. However, when I went, it just felt like a shallow area, so it wasn't really enjoyable as a sandbar experience. Still, I think it's a spot worth visiting for some conversation starters when in Hawaii!

Later, during snorkeling, I got to see a big turtle and tropical fish, which was definitely much more fun. Haha! There were also Japanese staff members, so the conversations were enjoyable too!

サンドバーは雑誌に載ってるような感じになるのは月に２回しか見られないとのことだったので、運を信じましたが、行った日はただの浅瀬のような感じだったので、サンドバーを楽しむという感じではありませんでしたが、ハワイに行ったら話題作りのためにも行ったほうがいいスポットだと思います！
その後のシュノーケルで大きな亀と熱帯魚が見れたので、そっちの方が断然楽しかったです。笑
日本人のスタッフもいるので、トークも楽しくよかったです！

It was a bit cloudy on the day, but the way the guide took photos was perfect and really boosted my spirits. I was also glad to see sea turtles.

当日は曇り気味でしたが、案内してくれたお姉さんの写真の撮り方がバッチリでテンションあがりました。ウミガメも見ることができて、良かったです。

We have made previous trips to Oahu and had never does this. This is an excellent trip to have All you can eat crab you can eat, which is absolutely true, they kept it coming. The entertainment was interactive with the guests and hilarious to watch and to participate. Plan to do this again.

The tour was awesome. Our guide was fantastic. The luau was wonderful. We got to participate as part of celebrating our 34th anniversary. The Breath of life show was awesome.

We were a couple who were really into Lost, so we wanted to see the filming locations and decided to participate. The kids were happy too, and we had a great time.

夫婦でロストにはまっていたので、そのロケ地も見てみたくて参加しました。子供達も喜んでくれて楽しかったです。

I have participated in other dolphin tours, but I felt that this tour was expensive and I should have chosen one of the more affordable options considering the content.

We bought a USB as a memento of our honeymoon, but there were really very few photos taken of us. The pictures taken from our seats on the boat mostly showed the boat's walls and the background scenery was lacking. Other groups had photos of themselves swimming in the ocean, but we didn't have any of those, which was really disappointing when we got back. Given that they said they wanted to take many photos of those who purchased the USB, I thought the number and quality of the photos were quite lacking. Moreover, the USB was expensive.

Even while swimming, we were told not to follow the cameraman, even though we were just swimming straight. It made me feel really uncomfortable, even though that wasn't our intention. When we were sitting on the edge of the boat, they were attentive to us, but they weren't paying attention to other groups of girls. They also guided us to indoor seats without mentioning that we could fit more people on the deck (those seats didn't allow us to see the surrounding scenery and were hot, making it hard to feel like we were on a cruise). I wish they had been a bit more considerate of everyone. Even though the Japanese guides might have been trying to be nice by saying things like "The sea is beautiful!" or "You seem a bit down," from our perspective, it felt a bit insensitive and lacking in consideration.

However, the crew that joined us locally was cheerful and considerate, which made it a lot of fun. The dolphins swam right next to us and below us, which was magical. We could hear their calls, and it was moving.

So, I think there are people who will enjoy this tour and those who won't. Especially since it was our honeymoon. We didn't have any photos underwater that we were looking forward to as mementos, nor any fun photos taken from the deck. Haha. I also felt that the guide's attitude was not very favorable, and while we did get to swim with the dolphins, I think I will use another tour next time.

他のイルカツアーに参加した事もありますが、このツアーは価格も高いし、内容も含めて他のもっと価格を抑えたツアーを選べばよかったと思いました。
新婚旅行の記念にusbを買ったけど、私たちを撮ってくれた写真は本当に少なく、船の座った席で撮った写真はバックの景色も船の壁ばかりで、他のグループは海で泳いでる写真もあったのに、私たちのものはなく帰ってきてみて、スゴくがっかりしました。
usb購入した人を多く撮りたいと言っていただけに、あまりにもな写真の数と内容だなと思いました。しかも、usb高い。
泳いでるときも、まっすぐ泳いでいただけなのにカメラマンの人についてこないでと言われて、そのつもりもないのにすごく気分が悪かった。
船の縁に座っていたときも私たちには注意していたのに、他の女の子のグループには注意していなかったり、もっとつめれば座れるデッキの席も何も言わず屋内の席に誘導したり（その席は周りの景色も見えないし暑く、クルーズしてる気分には到底なれない）、もう少し全員に配慮してくれればいいのになと思いました。また、屋内の席にいるのに海が綺麗だよーとか元気ないねーとか日本語ガイドさん達も気を利かせていっていたのかもしれないけど、
こっちの立場からすれば、ちょっと無神経で言葉にも配慮がないのかなと感じてしまいました。
しかし、現地合流のクルーは陽気で気を使ってくれたりと、とても楽しかったです。
イルカもすぐ横や下を泳いでいて幻想的。鳴き声も聞こえて感動しました。

なので、このツアーに合う人と合わない人がいると思います。
新婚旅行だったので尚更。記念に楽しみにしていた海の中での写真も無く、デッキから撮った楽しそうな写真もなく。笑
何となくガイドさんの態度も好感が持てず、イルカと泳げたからまあいっかというくらいで、
次回は他のツアーを利用すると思います。

Wonderful experience. Disappointed that we didn't get to go on memorial due to maintenance but overall loved it. Bus driver should get a raise. My favorite part of whole week there was listening to her talk about the culture and her family. Loved it.

The tour was excellent! Our driver Michael was very knowledgeable and pointed out plenty of landmarks. Adequate time was allotted for each part of the tour. Highly recommended!!

If you're going to Oahu, you definitely want to visit the sandbar! There were various tour companies, but I made a reservation here after seeing the good reviews. I read in the reviews that the bus could be cold, so I wore a long-sleeve hoodie, and it was just right! The sea was about knee-deep since I checked the interference time for that day. It seems it wasn't the time of year when you could see the sand, but I was very satisfied with this! However, it was a bit windy, so the sandbar might be a little chilly for the ladies. After that, I got to eat a hamburger, and it was so delicious! They grilled the patty for you, and you could add your favorite toppings to make your burger! Honestly, I wasn't expecting much, but it was tasty! I also got to see sea turtles during the watching session and took some great photos! The tour guide was super funny, and it turned out to be more than I expected! During the last snorkeling session, we moved to a spot with deeper coral. They explained everything carefully, and even though I’m quite scared, I was able to swim with the beautiful fish in the sea. After getting out of the water early, there was a lovely warm drink service, which was great! I was able to chat and bond with the other participants, and I'm really glad I joined! The tour guide was fun and a great person! Mahalo! It was a bit cold, but definitely worth swimming!

オアフ島に行くならサンドバーに行きたい！と思い、いろんなツアー会社がありましたが、口コミが良いのを見てこちらで予約しました。口コミにバスの中が寒いと書いてあったので、長袖のパーカーを羽織っていきましたが、ちょうど良かったです！海はその日の干渉時間を調べて行ったので、膝下くらい。砂が見えるところまではいかない時期だったらしいので、これで大満足♡でも風がありちょっとサンドバーは女子には寒いかも？そのあとハンバーガーを食べさせてもらったのですが、それが美味しすぎ！ハンバーグを焼いてくれていて、好きな具を挟んでハンバーガーに！正直期待していなかったのですが、美味しかった！ウミガメウォッチングでもばっちし見れて写真も撮れました！添乗員の方がすっごく面白くて思っていた以上のツアーになりました！最後のシュノーケリングでは、少し深い珊瑚のある所へ移動します。丁寧に説明もしてくださり、すごく怖がりの私も海の素敵な魚とたくさん泳ぐことができました。
早めに海から上がると嬉しい暖かいドリンクサービスがありました♡
他の参加者の方とも仲良くお話出来て、本当に参加して良かった！添乗員の方がみんな楽しく良い人でした！mahalo！
少し寒いですが、泳ぐ価値あり！

When we departed, the weather was bad and very cold, but we were able to see sea turtles from the boat. By the time we arrived at the sandbar, the weather had improved, and we enjoyed beautiful scenery. Since the weather in Hawaii can change quickly, it's good to have a light jacket. Although it was a short tour, we had ample time for snorkeling and taking photos, and we were able to return to the hotel for lunch, making effective use of our time. The staff were very high-energy, which made it enjoyable.

出発のときは天気が悪くてとても寒かったですが、ウミガメを船の上から見れて、サンドバーに着く頃は天気も回復し、きれいな景色を堪能できました。ハワイは天気が変わりやすいので羽織ものがあるといいですね。短いツアーですがシュノーケリングの時間、写真撮影の時間をしっかり取ってもらえた上にランチタイムにはホテルに帰ってこられたので時間を有効活用できました。スタッフの方がとてもハイテンションで楽しめました。

There were two boats, one for Japanese speakers and one for English speakers. Since there were many Japanese participants, we boarded the English-speaking boat. The sea was very clear and beautiful. We could see swimming sea turtles from the boat, and we encountered a sea turtle while snorkeling and were able to swim together. It was much larger than I had imagined from the boat. The sandbar also had water at knee height, so we enjoyed it thoroughly. Unfortunately, there were many Korean tourists on the English-speaking boat who did not understand English, leading to several instances of poor etiquette, such as standing on the coral while snorkeling. If there are many Koreans on board, it might be better to provide the rules in Korean as well.

船２隻で日本語と英語の分かれ、参加日は日本人が多かったので、私たちは英語の船に乗り込みました。海はとてもクリアで綺麗でした。船からも泳ぐウミガメが見れましたが、シュノーケルのときにウミガメに遭遇し一緒に泳ぐことができました。船から見て想像していたよりもとても大きかったです。サンドバーも膝下位の水位だったので、堪能できました。残念なことは、韓国人の観光客も多く、英語の船に乗っていましたが、英語を理解できていなかったので、シュノーケルの際に珊瑚の上に立ったりとマナー違反が多数ありました。韓国人も多く乗船するのならば、韓国語でルール等を記載したほうが良いのでは？

Henry was an awesome tour guide. The circle island tour was fantastic. All the activities at the Polynesian Cultural Cdnter were fantastic including the luau and night show.
