All Reviews for Food & Dining Experiences

I thought it would have been better to check the weather before participating since it was bad. The sandwiches on the boat were delicious!! I expected to see quite a few sea turtles, but I was a bit disappointed as I only saw them occasionally. Please bring a jacket or a bath towel for the return bus, as it can be cold.

天気が悪かったので天気を調べてから参加したら良かったと思いました(^◇^;)
船の上でのサンドイッチは美味しかったです！！
海ガメも結構見れると思ってたんですが、時々しか見れず少し残念でした(^◇^;)
帰りのバスは寒いので上着やバスタオルを持って行って下さい◡̈

It was rainy, but only in the morning, and I enjoyed it enough. The guide was very entertaining. During snorkeling, I saw many swimming fish.

雨だっだが、午前中のみでしたが、十分楽しめました。付き添い（添乗員）のお姉さんが、とってもおもしろかったです。シュノーケルでは、たくさんの泳いでる魚が、見えました。

This was my first time in Hawaii for our honeymoon. My husband wanted to go snorkeling, so we chose this tour where we could swim with dolphins and enjoy snorkeling as well.

First, we were given flowers and had a touching moment of prayer together as we faced the sea. The main dolphin watching part was a bit intense; as soon as we arrived at the spot, we had to jump into the cold water without any warm-up or getting used to it, which made me a bit worried about having a heart attack! The experience of swimming with dolphins was different from what I imagined; instead of leisurely swimming alongside them, it felt more like a hurried attempt to catch a glimpse of the dolphins swimming below us while snorkeling. Since the dolphins are wild animals, it wasn't the relaxing experience I had hoped for.

The dolphin watching was over in an instant, and since some people didn't get to see them, we had a total of two watching sessions, but it felt like we were only in the water for about five minutes, which honestly left me wanting more. After that, we returned to the boat, but it was quite cold with the sea breeze, making it really uncomfortable until we reached the next snorkeling spot. I highly recommend wearing a thick hoodie and bringing a large towel.

The snorkeling afterward was satisfying because we got to see sea turtles up close, which was different from the main dolphin watching. However, the snorkeling time was relatively short, and it felt like it was over before we knew it. It wasn't a leisurely experience but more of a quick taste of it. After returning to the boat, we had a lunch that was labeled as BBQ, which turned out to be cheeseburgers. I had seen reviews about this beforehand, so I was prepared, but those expecting a BBQ might feel a bit misled. The taste was good, though.

Afterward, we enjoyed dancing the hula and taking photos, which was fun. However, in the covered area at the back, the deck leading to the second floor obstructed the view, and there was a noticeable difference in enthusiasm between the guests in front and those behind. Since we were seated at the back, I think some adjustments could be made for better visibility for everyone.

▼ Points of Concern
- The BBQ was misleading since I had an image of grilled meat; the cheeseburger label could cause confusion.
- Water was leaking from the air conditioning in the shuttle bus, soaking some guests.
- The photo data was quite expensive.
- The small boat made it feel like we had to be considerate of others during the move, and depending on the seat, the stairs blocked the view and sound of staff explanations and dances.
- There were no napkins or tissues provided for wiping hands after eating burgers and chips, which made things a bit difficult and the seats tended to get dirty.
- There was little consideration for those feeling cold or seasick; it would have been nice to have some towels or something prepared.

▼ Positive Aspects
- The moment of throwing flowers during the prayer was romantic.
- We got to see sea turtles up close.
- The music on the boat was lively.
- The temporary tattoo stickers were a nice touch.

For those who have participated in other tours or are of a more mature age, you might notice some issues with the facilities, timing, and service. If this were a monitor tour price, I would be satisfied, but at the regular price, I would like to see a bit more in terms of quality and time allocation.

I may have been a bit critical, but I’m really glad I was able to participate.

ハネムーンで初のハワイでした。旦那さんがシュノーケリングをしたいとの事で、イルカと泳げてシュノーケルも楽しめるこちらのツアーにしました。
まずお花を配られて海に向かって皆でのお祈りの時間は感動しました♪
メインのイルカウォッチングは、イルカがいる地点に着くと「今からすぐ行くよ！」という感じでそれまで一切準備運動や水に触れる事なくイキナリ冷たい海に飛び込まないといけないので、ちょっと心臓発作にならないか心配になりました；
メインのイルカと泳ぐツアーは少し想像と違っていて、イルカと泳ぐというよりはシュノーケルで真下を泳ぐイルカを急いで見る！みたいな少しせわしないものでした笑
イルカは野生で自然の生き物ですから、ゆっくり横で見れる～という感じではないのでもともとの私のイメージが少し期待しすぎたかもしれません＾＾；
イルカウォッチングは一瞬で終わってしまい、見れない方がいたので合計2回のウォッチングとなりましたが、海にいたのはものの5分程度？と思う程短かったので1回だけでは正直かなり物足りなかった気がします。。
その後船に戻りましたが、海風もあってかなり寒く……。次のシュノーケルの地点まで本当に寒くてツライ位でした；
参加される方はしっかり厚手のパーカと大き目のバスタオルは必須です。

その後のシュノーケリングは、メインのイルカウォッチングと違って海ガメを近くで見ながら泳ぐ事が出来て満足です♪
ただ、こちらもシュノーケルの時間が割と短く、もう終わりか～という感じでした。
ゆっくり楽しんだ！という時間ではなく、ちょっと体験！みたいな時間ですね。
船に戻ってからは、ＢＢＱという名のチーズバーガーの昼食時間。
ＢＢＱの件は事前に口コミを見ていたので、了承済みですがＢＢＱと思って参加される方は「これだけ？」となると思いますので少し過大表記しすぎかと…。
味はおいしいです。

その後は帰りまでフラを踊ったり、写真を撮ったりと盛り上げてくれるのは楽しかったです。
が、奥の屋根付きの所だと二階へのデッキが邪魔で全然見えず、前の客と後の客の温度差が…笑
こちらも奥の座席だったのでちょっと、もう少し皆がみやすい様に工夫が必要かと思います。

▼気になった点
・ＢＢＱは、焼き肉のイメージを持つのでチーズバーガーという表記が誤解がないのでは？
・送迎バスのクーラーから水が漏れていて、お客さんにすごい水掛かっていた
・写真データがあまりに高い
・小ぶりの船で、移動には他の人に気を使う感じだったのと、席によっては階段が邪魔でスタッフの説明やダンスなどが見えない＆聞こえない
・ハンバーガーやポテトチップスを食べるが手をふくものやティッシュもなく（数人に配ったら途中でなくなっちゃった、ごめんね～という感じ）ちょっと大変＆席が汚れがち
・さむがっている人や酔っている人には特に配慮がない（数枚でもタオルや何か用意していてもいいかな）

▼よかった点
・お祈りの時間で花を投げたのがロマンチック
・海ガメが近くで見れた
・海での音楽で盛り上がった
・タトゥーシールがちょっとうれしい

他のツアーなどに参加された経験のある方や割と大人の年齢の方だと設備面や時間、対応などが少し目につく所があると思います。モニターツアーでの価格なら納得♪ですが、正規の料金だともう少し充実度（時間の幅取り）がほしいかなと思います。

少し辛口でしたが、参加できたことはすごく良かったです。

My friend and I had a great time. Having a personal tour guide just made it that much more special. King, our personal guide, was a wonderful addition to a fantastic day. Getting reserved seating at all the shows was excellent. There was so much to see and do and you can learn so much about the different people that make up the Polynesian Islands. I can't say enough good things about King, he was so helpful and nice. The luau wasn't what I expected. But the food was good and the show was great. It made for a long day, but there was never a dull moment. I was hoping to get a shot glass as a souvenir for my brother-in-law, he collects and displays them, so was disappointed when I found out they don't sell them there. So it was very hard to find him a gift.
I definitely recommend anyone going to visit Hawaii have to spend a day at the Polynesian Cultural Center. And the Ambassador Package only makes the day that much more special.

I participated with my family on October 15, 2015. We've traveled to Oahu several times, but it was difficult to make a reservation, so we finally made it to the sandbar this time. The weather was nice when we departed from Waikiki, but by the time we arrived at Kaneohe Bay, it was pouring rain and very cold, making us worry if we would even reach the sandbar. However, we set sail as planned towards the sandbar. Along the way, the rain stopped, and we even saw sea turtles, which lifted our spirits as we arrived at the sandbar! The water was about knee-deep that day. All participants put on snorkeling gear and swam near the coral reef. Although the visibility wasn't great, we were able to see many fish. I looked up at the sky several times wishing for sunshine, but the staff's enthusiasm was amazing, and the simple sandwiches we had at the end were delicious! Next time, I definitely hope for a sunny day!

2015.10/15に家族で参加しました。
オアフ島へ何度か旅行してますが中々予約が取れなくて今回やっとサンドバーに行けました(^^)ワイキキを出発するときはお天気でしたがカネオ湾に到着するときにはなんと土砂降りでとても寒くてサンドバーにたどり着けるのか心配でしたが予定通り出航してサンドバーへ向かいました。途中、雨も上がり海亀さんも顔を題してくれてじょじょにテンションも上がりサンドバーへ到着です！この日はひざ下ぐらいの海水でした。参加者全員でシュノーケルをつけ珊瑚礁の近くを泳ぎました。透明度がありませんでしたが沢山の魚の姿を見ることができました。
何度も晴れていれば～と天を見上げましたが、スタッフの皆さん達の盛り上げ方も最高でしたし最後に頂いたシンプルのサンドイッチも美味しかったです！
次回は是非晴れた日に(^_-)-☆

I was moved to see the sea turtles. During snorkeling, there were sea turtles, and I was able to swim with them. However, I was a bit disappointed by the long wait times, such as waiting for the boat to depart.

Also, due to the timing, I understand it can't be helped, but I had imagined the sandbar to be a bit shallower; the water level was higher than I expected. The plan included about an hour of snorkeling time, but many participants were tired and got back on the boat after about 30 minutes, so it might be better to have a shorter time in the water.

ウミガメが見られて感動でした。シュノーケリングの際にもウミガメがいて一緒に泳ぐこともできました。ですが、船の出向までの待ち時間など待たされることも多く少し残念でした。
また、時期の問題で仕方ないのですが、サンドバーはもう少し浅いものを想像していたのですが、思っていたよりも水面が高かったです。プランでは１時間程度シュノーケリングの時間が取れられていましたが、参加者の多数派疲れて３０分くらいで船に上がっていたので、海に入るための時間は短めでもいいかもしれません。

The sandbar was cold. It seemed like it was a time of year when the beach wasn't really accessible, and I was constantly waist-deep in the sea. It wasn't at all like the small island I had imagined. I should have done proper research.
But!! After going snorkeling, my mood completely changed!
It was so much fun, and I really felt glad that I participated.
The crew was considerate towards families with children, so I recommend it for those with kids as well.

サンドバーは寒かったです。砂浜が季節的に？出ない時期だったようで、ずっと腰まで海に浸かっている状態で、私が想像していた、小さい小島？みたいな感じではありませんでした。ちゃんとリサーチすればよかったです。
でも‼︎シュノーケルに行って、気分一転！
すごく楽しくて、本当に参加してよかったと思えましたd(>Д<*)/
クルーの方々は子供連れの方への気遣いがあり、お子様連れの方へもオススメです。

We thoroughly enjoyed the sunset cruise. Extremely friendly staff and they made the experience special. Entertainment and good were great!

I participated in a dolphin and sea turtle watching tour in the morning. I was able to see many dolphins both from the boat and while snorkeling. The sight of a pod of dolphins swimming below and coming up to the surface for air was breathtaking. I wish I could have seen a few more sea turtles. I would love to participate again.

午前中からのイルカ、ウミガメウォッチングツアーに参加しました。船の上からもシュノーケリングでも本当にたくさんのイルカを見ることができました。イルカの群れが下を泳ぎ、呼吸のために水面に上がってくる光景は絶景でした。ウミガメをもう少し見れたらよかったと思います。また参加したいと思いました。

I went on my honeymoon! The price isn't particularly cheap, but I felt more than satisfied and moved by the experience!! The staff were all cheerful and friendly, and the time flew by (≧∇≦). Especially, the Japanese staff member Yuki was very kind and attentive, which was great!!

We took a lot of wonderful photos at the sandbar, creating fantastic memories! The lunch featured hearty burgers, and enjoying it while listening to the captain's live guitar and singing, with a beautiful view of the sea, was exceptional!!

After lunch, we had plenty of time for turtle watching and encountered many sea turtles!! They even threw in some bread for snorkeling, which attracted lots of fish, and I was very satisfied!! If I ever go to Hawaii again, I would definitely want to join this tour!!

ハネムーンで行きました！値段はそんなに安くは無いですが、値段以上の感動や、満足感が得られました！！スタッフのかたもみんな陽気でフレンドリーな方達であっとゆう間でした（≧∇≦）特に日本人スタッフのユキさん？やさしくて、すごく気を使って頂いて良かったです！！
サンドバーでステキな写真をたくさん撮って頂いてすごく良い思い出になりました！
ランチもボリュームたっぷりのハンバーガーで、船長さんの生ギターと歌のBGMを聞きながらステキな海を見ながらランチは格別でした！！
ランチが終わったら、ウミガメウオッチングも沢山時間があり、いっぱいウミガメに出会えました！！シュノーケルもパンを投げ入れてくれて、それに魚達がたくさん寄ってきてくれて大満足でした！！
またハワイに行くことがあったら、是非参加したい
ツアーです！！

I had seen it once a few years ago, but I participated this time because I heard the content had been renewed. Unlike last time, it included not only songs but also hula, making the experience fulfilling and enjoyable. After the performance, I was able to take photos with the performers in the lobby, which made for a great keepsake.

何年か前に一度見たことがあったが、内容がリニューアルしたとの事なので参加。
前回と違い歌だけでなくフラ等も取り入れていて、内容が充実しており十分に楽しめた。
終演後のロビーでの出演者との撮影も気軽に取ってもらい、良い記念になった。

The staff were incredibly friendly and it was a lot of fun. The ocean was beautiful, the boat ride was pleasant, and playing beach volleyball was enjoyable. Snorkeling was great too, as I got to see beautiful fish and turtles. But the highlight was definitely seeing six manta rays swimming in a circle—what an amazing experience! Also, the burgers that the captain grilled were incredibly delicious! They might have been the best burgers I've ever had in Hawaii. Next time, I want to go to the sandbar on a clear day. I definitely want to participate again next year.

スタッフのみなさんはすごくフレンドリーで楽しかった。
海はきれいだし、ボートは気持ちいいし、ビーチバレーも楽しかった。
シュノーケルはきれいな魚とカメさんも見られて良かったぁ。
でも一番はマンタが６頭サークルを描いて泳いでるのをみられたことがなにより感動！！
あと、キャプテンが焼いてくれたバーガーがすごーくおいしかった！
ハワイで食べたバーガーで一番おいしかったかもしれない。
今度は快晴のサンドバーに行きたいなぁ。
来年もぜひ参加したいと思います。

At the end of October, I participated in the first tour of the day! It was a day with rain in the forecast, but it only rained briefly like a downpour. It seems that as the rainy season begins, there will be more rainy days ahead.

I thought there might be others who are unsure whether to choose a short morning tour or a longer one, but since I don't have much stamina, the 45-minute snorkeling was just enough for me (laughs).

The guide was Japanese, funny, and provided thorough explanations, making it a well-organized tour. I encountered sea turtles and mantas, making it an amazing tour that I highly recommend.

10月末、朝一番のツアーに参加しました！
雨予報の日でしたが、スコールみたいで一次的にしか降りませんでした。雨季が始まる頃、今後は雨の日が多くなるみたいです。

朝の短時間のツアーか時間の長いツアーで迷われてる方がいらっしゃるかなと思うのですが、私は体力があまりないので45分のシュノーケルで十分でした（笑）

ガイドさんは日本人で面白いし、解説も丁寧できちんとしたツアーです。ウミガメやマンタにも出会えて最高のツアーでオススメです。

I would like to participate again♪

This was my first time joining, and it was very beautiful, and the staff were kind.

I plan to go again in March, so I would like to participate.

また参加したいです♪

今回初めて参加したのですが、大変キレイでスタッフの方も親切でした

3月にまた行くので参加したいと思ってます

I was worried it would be disappointing if it rained at the sandbar, but we were blessed with wonderful weather, and I got to see many sea turtles. The sandwiches for our light meal were delicious, and our guide was fantastic. However, one thing that was a bit disappointing for me was that the sandbar was only knee-deep in seawater, which was different from the image I had seen on TV.

サンドバーまで行って雨だったら残念と思っていましたが
すばらしい天気にめぐまれ海がめにもたくさん合えたし
軽食のサンドイッチも美味しくガイドさんのおもしろさも
最高でしたが１つ自分なりに残念だったのが
サンドバーが海水でひざ下ほどありテレビで見たイメージと違って
いたことです

Tour guide/driver was very good. He presented interesting and important facts about what we were going to see and hear. Kept the group organized as far as time factors. Provided interesting facts about the islands.

Let me start off by saying I NEVER post reviews...which I need to work on because I am always checking them out before I do/buy things. This was my boyfriend & I first trip to Hawaii so we were very excited! We chose the Five Star package because of the jazz music (we attended a luau the night before & did not want to have the same theme).

They picked us up from our hotel at 4:30 pm. From the very beginning we were treated like VIP. We were led to the top deck to have champagne & o'dourves with the captain. We also got to take a professional pic with the captain, which was cool. After that, we were led to our seat inside the ship. We had a window seat & loved it. We were a little worried about getting seasick, but it wasn't a problem. I was a little concerned about the food at first because neither one of us are into fancy food, but it was pretty good (as stated before we chose that package specifically for the music). Instead of the lobster we chose a stuffed chicken option which was my favorite! For our steak entree we asked that it was cooked well done & it was the most tender steak ever! Throughout the dinner you can step outside as you please to feel the breeze, take in the views, & take pics.

The ambiance was beautiful! There was a live pianist, saxophonist/flutist, & singer. They were great! In the end they gave us the photo we took with the captain in a nice album cover with a pic of the ship on the water. Also, all of the ladies were given a rose. The only thing I WISH I would have did was asked for another copy of the photo so my boyfriend & I can both have one :-( I didn't even think about it until we returned back to our home state. I called 3 days later to see if we could get a copy; they sent an email to the photo dept. but almost 2 weeks later & I still haven't heard anything.

Overall, I highly recommend! This is perfect for a romantic date night! The cruise lasted about 2 hrs. This was a great way to end our trip in Hawaii.

Wow. I learned so much. All the staff are so friendly. The luau was good but the show "breathe" was stunning!!!! We weren't going to stay but the staff told us it was the best part and I have to agree. Well worth the drive and cost!

The cruise was awesome!!! The food was great. The staff we had took such good care of us. The entertainment was off the hook at the end.

This was my first sandbar experience, and I was super excited! Until yesterday, the weather had been completely clear! But today... it’s all gloomy~~ and there’s even a bit of light rain. When we arrived at the yacht harbor, the rain had stopped, but the sky was still overcast. It was a bit chilly, but we gathered our spirits and set sail for turtle watching.

At 11 o'clock, we spotted a manta ray—wait, a manta ray? Apparently, the chances of seeing one are lower than that of seeing a sea turtle. Lucky us! We were able to see plenty of sea turtles and then headed to the sandbar. The tide was as expected since we checked it beforehand; it was a bit cold at first, but we got used to it quickly. It felt amazing!! Even though it was cloudy, the clear sea was beautiful—if only the weather had been nice, it would have been perfect! Why did it have to be like this just on this day? Plus, it cleared up in the afternoon. I guess it’s just my bad luck... something to work on for next time.

初めてのサンドバー体験ですテンションＭＡＸ！昨日まででずーっと快晴！今日は・・ど、ど、どんより～～しかも小雨まじり。ヨットハーバーに到着時雨はあがったものの、相変わらず曇り空。肌寒いが、気を取り直していざ出航ウミガメウォッチへ。１１時の方向マンタ～　えっ？マンタ？でもウミガメより見れる確率が少ないそうだ。ラッキー！無事ウミガメもいっぱい見れてサンドバーへ。潮位は事前確認済みの為だいたい予想どうり、入り始めは少し冷たいがすぐ慣れる。しかし気持ちいい！！曇りでも透きとおった海はキレイだ～これで天気が良ければサイコーだったのになぜこの日だけ？しかも午後は晴れ。自分の運の悪さか・・次回の課題です。

Food was good, view was fantastic, crew was very helpful and entertaining! Fun way to spend an evening!

This activity was a highlight of our trip! The crew was great & we had a blast snorkeling/Snuba-ing! We highly suggest doing the SNUBA! Ross was our guide, and helped make us feel comfortable with everything and helped make our experience great! Food and Drinks were an added bonus. Didn't see any Dolphins, but plenty of beautiful fish, starfish, & turtles. Would do this again in a heartbeat!

We had a wonderful day in our honeymoon! beautiful sea,amazing view,and nice people.I never think about this trip can be unbelievable!

The wind was strong and it was cloudy, so it was a bit chilly, but the clear blue sea was really beautiful. I was glad to encounter a manta ray. The crew was cheerful and it was a lot of fun. P.S. It's a good idea to research the tide times in advance and decide on the departure time accordingly.

風が強く曇っていたので、少し肌寒さはありましたが透きとおったブルーの海はすごくキレイでした。マンタに遭遇することが出来て良かったです。クルーの皆さんも陽気で楽しかったです。追伸:潮の満ち引きの時間は事前に
リサーチして、出港時間を決めた方が良いですよ。

The sandbar was shallow and beautiful, and even my husband, who isn't fond of the sea, enjoyed it. We played volleyball together, listened to guitar performances on the boat, and the hamburgers for lunch were delicious!

サンドバーは、水位か浅く綺麗で、海が苦手な主人も楽しんでました。皆でバレーボールしたり、船内ではギターの弾き語りが聞けたり、お昼ご飯のハンバーガーも美味しかったです♪

It was a rare bad weather day that happens once a year, but the sea was still beautiful.

I was a bit surprised to see the staff rolling up the hamburger buns for lunch and throwing them at each other like a snowball fight. I guess the sense of fun is a bit different from what I'm used to in Japan. Next time, I’ll choose a different tour.

一年に一度あるかないかの悪天候でしたが、それでも綺麗な海でした。

スタッフがお昼のハンバーガーのバンズを丸めてお互いに雪合戦のように投げ合っていてちょっとビックリしました。
やっぱり日本人とは感覚が違うのかなぁ。
今度は別のツアーにします。

Thoroughly enjoyed the tour. The crew were great and everything went well.

Saw Dolphins/ turtles and plenty of marine life.

Snorkelling was great. Also upgraded to snuba which was really good and definitely worth it.

The service was great. Outstanding staff that was very professional and courteous. I would DEFINITELY recommend this service if you're looking for a special evening.

We had fun and lots of interaction with performers. Chief is super. Great Shows, food and location

We were picked up at 5 AM, and after an 8-hour tour, we arrived at the hotel around 1:30 PM. The program was well-structured, and we had a very fulfilling time. It became a wonderful memory, and I highly recommend it.

First, we were greeted by the bus, where a cheerful Japanese crew member and a beautiful foreign photographer explained the day's itinerary. They also offered us the chance to purchase a USB with photos for $60. It wasn't a hard sell, so you could decline, and since I brought my underwater digital camera, I opted out. However, it seemed that quite a few people ended up purchasing it. Those who bought the USB received a wristband and were prioritized for photos, but the crew also took plenty of pictures of those who didn't buy it, so the USB was filled with photos of other participants. This was a bit embarrassing for those who didn't purchase it, and I wish they would reconsider that practice. By the way, the crew also took photos with my own underwater camera while on the boat. Wet suits are available for rent at $10, and you can get a refund if you don't end up wearing it, which is a nice system. I didn't rent one and just wore a long-sleeve rash guard on top. It was October, but it wasn't cold.

Onboard, the cheerful crew provided great hospitality, allowing everyone to enjoy a fun atmosphere. While cruising, we admired the mountains of West Oahu, spotted rainbows, and found dolphins that jumped in one after another. The water was quite deep and there were waves, but we followed the crew closely and were able to see many dolphins. It was a wonderful experience to see wild dolphins swimming freely in the coral reef waters. There were dozens of dolphins, swimming in groups of 5 to 10, and they came close to us repeatedly.

I felt satisfied when we returned to the boat, but a few people were seasick. I took anti-nausea medication before boarding, but even those who usually don’t get seasick might find it essential. For those prone to seasickness, sitting on the open deck of the boat seems to be a better option. At this time, we were given pineapple.

After that, we enjoyed three hula dance performances (the professional hula dancer was cute and wonderful), and we snorkeled for just under an hour at the turtle spot. We saw three sea turtles and many fish, making it a very enjoyable snorkeling experience. You can also kayak and slide into the sea from the boat. It was a return to childhood fun. Later, we had cheeseburgers (with purple taro buns) and Maui chips while enjoying the fantastic views from the boat. The burger was delicious against the backdrop of the beautiful scenery. Finally, we took a group photo with the crew and all participants, which they sent to us for free via email. By the way, water and lemonade were available for unlimited drinks on the boat.

Perhaps due to the large number of participants, there was no announcement for the hula lesson.

After getting off the boat, we went to the port's restroom (which is spacious and clean), and I recommend changing there quickly.

Overall, the tour was well-structured, and we got to see both dolphins and sea turtles perfectly. It was a highly satisfying experience, and I would love to participate again.

朝5時台にお迎え、ホテルについたのは13時半ごろの8時間長のツアーでしたが、よく練られたプログラム構成で、とても充実した時間でした。素晴らしい思い出となりました。お勧めします。
まず、バスのお迎えがあり、日本人クルーの元気なお姉さんと美人な外国人のカメラマンさんが車中、本日の行程について説明してくれ、写真が入ったＵＳＢ（60ドル）を購入するか、案内があります。決して押し売りではないので断ることもできますし、私は水中デジカメを持参したので断りましたが、かなりの人が購入しているようでした。ＵＳＢを購入する人はリストバンドをもらい、重点的に撮ってもらえるシステムのようですが、購入しない私たちの写真もバシバシ撮っていたので、ＵＳＢにはほかの参加者の写真が満載です。。これは、特に購入しないものにとっては、恥ずかしいし、やめてほしいと思いました。ちなみに船上では持参の水中デジカメでも、クルー自ら写真を撮ってくれました。ウエットスーツは10ドルでレンタルできますし、借りたけど実際に着なければ返金されるとのことで親切なシステムでした。私は借りずに上のみ長袖ラッシュガードを来ていました。10月でしたが寒くはなかったです。
船上では陽気なクルーがホスピタリティーをもってもてなしてくれ、みんなで楽しい気分で時間を過ごすことができました。クルージングをしながら西オアフの山々を眺め、虹をみつけ、イルカがみつかり、次々に飛び込みます。かなり深いですし、波もありますが、ここは必死でクルーについていき、たくさんのイルカをみることができました。サンゴ礁の海の中で自由に泳いでいる野生のイルカをみるのは、なんとも素敵な体験でした。イルカは数十頭いて、5-10頭で固まって泳いでいて、次々に近くにきました。
満足した気分で船にあがりましたが、何人かが船酔い・波酔いではいてました。私も吐き気止めを飲んで乗船しましたが、普段酔わない人でも、吐き気止めは必須かと思います。また、酔いやすい人は、船の中でもオープンな甲板に座るほうがよさそうです。このタイミングでパイナップルをもらいました。
その後、3曲フラダンスを踊ってくれ（プロのフラダンサーの女の子でかわいくて素敵でした）、ウミガメスポットで1時間弱シュノーケルしました。ウミガメは3匹、魚もたくさんいて、とても楽しいシュノーケルでした。また、カヤックや滑り台（船の上から海にとびこみます）もできます。童心にかえり、遊びました。その後、船上でチーズバーガー（タロイモの紫のパンズ）とマウイチップスを食べました。船上の素晴らしい景色を見ながらのバーガーはとてもおいしかったです。最後にクルーと参加者全員で写真をとり、これはメールで無料で送ってくれます。ちなみに船上では水とレモネードが飲み放題です。
参加者が多かったからか、フラレッスンは案内がありませんでした。
　船からおりたら港のトイレ（ひろくてきれいです）にいきますが、ここでササっと着替えることをお勧めします。
上記の流れになりますが、よく練られた構成で、イルカもウミガメもばっちり見えましたり、大満足のツアーでした。ぜひもう一度参加したいです。
