All Reviews for Food & Dining Experiences

From the start this cruise was amazing, We checked in and got the royal treatment. Escorted to the upper deck where we were greeted by the captain and offered snacks and drinks. We were then seated and bring on the food, every dish was great. Brandon our server was great, he mad sure everything was to our satisfaction. The maitre d came and got us just before sunset and took us out on deck where the Captain was waiting and we renewed our vows. It was very romantic. I would do this again.

Myself and my husband could not fault the experience that we had when we renewed our wedding vows. The food was great, the staff were fantastic and the ceremony that was provided was private and personal - just what we wanted. It was the perfect end to the day.

This time, we all went to Hawaii for my wedding, with friends and family joining us.
However, the sandbar did not appear...

We miscalculated the timing.

We went from morning until noon.
With this timing, we had to leave before the tide went out.
Since we had a little one with us, we planned to leave early, but it's better to stay until the afternoon!

When we stayed until the afternoon, we were able to see it!!

It's really beautiful when you can see it☆

今回は私の結婚式でみんなでハワイに行き、友達も私の家族もいてみんなで行きました。
しかし、サンドバーは現れず…

時間帯に失敗しました。

私たちが行ったのは朝からお昼まで。
この時間帯だと水が引ける前に帰ることになります。
チビがいたから早めに帰るプランにしましたが、昼過ぎまでいたほうがいいです！

昼過ぎまでいた時は見れました！！

見れるととても綺麗ですよ☆

I was able to enjoy a relaxed hula show as well as a powerful performance that used fire. After the show, I had the opportunity to take photos with a muscular male dancer, which became a great memory when I looked back at the pictures later. I don't remember much about the food, but I don't think it was bad. Also, there were few Japanese spectators, and I shared a long table with people from Western countries. When I was seated, I received a friendly smile, so if you can speak English, you might enjoy chatting during the show.

ゆったりとしたフラ～火を使ったパワフルなショーまで堪能できました。
ショーの後に、日本人では考えられないほどマッチョな男性のダンサーと写真を撮ることもでき、後から写真を見返してもいい思い出になりました。
食事についての記憶はあまりないですが、まずくはなかったように思います。
また、日本人の観客は少なく、長テーブルに欧米の方との相席でした。
着席時にニコッと笑いかけてもらえたので、英会話ができる方ならショーを見ながら話したりして楽しめるかも知れません。

The weather was nice, and I was able to see the sea turtles and coral clearly. The local staff were friendly, making it a satisfying tour.

天気がよくウミガメも珊瑚もクリアに見ることができました。
現地スタッフもフレンドリーな対応で満足のツアーになりました。

The weather was absolutely perfect. I got to see sea turtles, and snorkeling was amazing. The hamburger was delicious too. They lend you snorkeling gear, but I should have brought my own! There were a lot of fish, but the water was a bit murky, so Okinawa might be clearer. However, the guide was really nice!

天気が最高によかった。ウミガメも見れたし、シュノーケルが最高。ご飯もハンバーガー美味しかった。シュノーケルは貸してもらえるけど自分の持っていけばよかった！魚もたくさんいたけど、海は少し濁ってたから、沖縄の方が綺麗かも。。だけど、ガイドさんも素敵なかんじだった！！

we found this luau great ,the view was amazing, the show wonderful ,shuttle bus staff fantastic our only problem was the food , we were the last table called up and some of the food had run out and also we didn't really like the food there just was not enough variety

It was my first time in Hawaii. I made a reservation at Michel's, thanks to my senior's recommendation, and I was able to spend the best time there. Even when I needed to go to the restroom, they quickly noticed and guided me. They also moved the chairs so that I could see the fireworks, showing that they understood my wishes, which was truly moving. The food was also excellent. Next time, I will bring my parents and my yet-to-be-seen child. Thank you very much.

It was a fantastic time, except for the cold water that came up to my waist during high tide! I was amazed by the beautiful sea, just like in the pictures!! A turtle even swam close to me (*^^)v The light meal was really delicious sandwiches, even better than they looked (sorry for the assumption) ★★★ I will definitely join again the next time I go to Hawaii!

満潮時間だったので腰まで浸かる水が冷たかったこと以外は最高の時間でした！
お写真通りの綺麗な海に感動！！
カメさんも近くまで泳いで来てくれました(*^^)v
軽食も見た目以上に（失礼）本当に美味しいサンドイッチでした★★★
次回ハワイに行くときも絶対に参加します！

Nice day, but a lot to see in a short time. People very friendly. The luau was nice, and the evening performance was awesome!!!

There was a host who provided explanations in English, and the show began, but it felt like only the host was speaking in English despite more than half of the participants being Japanese. It might just be my feeling since I can't speak English, but I wish they had prepared pamphlets or something. The location was also surrounded by buildings, and the atmosphere was not great, which was disappointing given my expectations.

司会者がいて、説明がはいり（英語）、ショーが始まるのですが、参加者の半数以上が日本人なのに、司会者のみが英語でしゃべっている感じでした。自分が英語ができないのでそう感じただけかもしれませんが、出来たらパンフレットとかも用意してくれていたらと思いました。
場所もビルに囲まれた中で雰囲気もイマイチで、期待していただけに残念でした。

I participated in Heaven's Sea with high expectations, and I was completely satisfied! I had researched the tide in advance, so I knew it would be high tide, and after landing on the sandbar, I didn't have to worry about the rising water level. More than that, we were blessed with great weather, and I could feel the blue of the sky and the blue of the sea all around me. The tour ended in the blink of an eye. Fun times always seem to fly by, right? (laughs) During the tour, I was also able to see a honu! I definitely want to go back to Heaven's Sea.

かなり期待をして参加した天国の海、もう大満足でした！潮位も予め調べて参加したので、満ち潮であることも調査済みでしたので、サンドバーに上陸後、水位が上がってきても気にすることはありませんでした。それよりも、天気に恵まれ、空の青、海の青を全身で感じることが出来、ツアーはあっという間に終わりました。楽しい時間はすぐに終わってしまいますね笑
ツアー中はホヌにも会うことが出来ました！天国の海、是非また行きたいです。

On the bus heading to the sandbar, a cheerful older man was talking non-stop in English, so it might be tough for those who are not good at English. Since the air conditioning was very strong, I think it's a good idea to bring something to wear over your clothes.
As for the sandbar... I had imagined it based on the photos on the website, but in reality, the water came up to about my waist. I guess it's my fault for not knowing that was a possibility.
The BBQ lunch was just a regular hamburger. It was quite ordinary.
I think I saw about two sea turtles?
For snorkeling, they took us to a place with coral and said, "Please feel free to swim." The weather was bad and it was very cold.
I was disappointed because I had high expectations. I felt it was a waste to spend a whole day like this. If the weather had been good, it might have been different.

サンドバーへ向かうバスの中は、陽気なおじさんがひたすら英語でしゃべっていたので、英語が苦手な方はつらいかも？クーラーガンガンなので、羽織るものを持っていくとよいと思います。
サンドバーは。。。ＨＰに掲載されている写真をイメージしていましたが、実際は腰の辺りまで海面がきていました。その可能性があること知らなかった自分が悪いですね。
ＢＢＱランチはただのハンバーガーです。至って普通です。
ウミガメは２頭ぐらい見えたかな？って感じです。
シュノーケリングも、サンゴのある所に連れて行ってくれて、「どうぞ自由に泳いでください」みたいな感じです。天気も悪く、とても寒かったです。
期待しすぎた分、がっかりしました。私は、これで一日がつぶれるのはもったいないと感じました。天気が良ければ違ったかもしれませんね。

This was one of the most enjoyable and informative tours I have been on, Tiffany was an excellent and knowledgeable host this tour offers more than the tour description indicates and includes detailed interesting natural fauna information. I can highly recomend this very enjoyable tour and is excellent value for money the shrimp meal was enjoyable. Well done Tiffany for making our day day an enjoyable one.

Great crew as it was full service. Food and drinks were good and plenty to go around. Water was very clear. We saw a white tip shark, turtle, plenty of colorful fish and an amazing starfish which was like a spider. Ross was our personal Snubba coach and he was top professional. Yes we would do it again.

It was a celebrity look-alike show, and I really enjoyed it because I could also see dancers, hula dancing, and a fire show, and I was able to take photos!

有名人のそっくりさんショーですが、ダンサーやフラダンス、ファイヤーショーなども見れて写真も撮れたのでとても楽しめました！

I participated with my 80-year-old mother. The guides were really kind and carried my mother to the sandbar. Thank you very much. Since the weather can change quickly, it's good to have something to cover up with, as well as an umbrella or raincoat. Bring a swimsuit, shorts, beach sandals, and a hotel towel. You can get on the bus just as you are on the way back. The snorkeling time is quite short, so it's best to think of it as just a little experience. You can see sea turtles and take photos at the sandbar, making for a really enjoyable half-day.

80才の母と参加しました。ガイドさんたちが本当に親切で、母を抱えてサンドバーまで連れてきてくれました。ありがとうございました。天候が変わりやすいので何かはおるものと傘か合羽があると良いです。水着に短パン、ビーチサンダル、ホテルのタオル。帰りはそのままバスに乗り込めます。シュノーケルの時間はほんの少しなので、体験程度と思った方が良いです。ウミガメを見たりサンドバーで写真を撮ったり、なかなか楽しい半日が過ごせますよ。

The day we arrived at the sandbar was just at low tide, so we were able to stay for about two hours. We snorkeled and took photos. We were also able to see honu (sea turtles) nearby. I had seen it in commercials and had always wanted to visit, and it was indeed a beautiful place, just as I expected. I think it's a good idea to check the tide schedule before booking a tour.

サンドバーにあがったその日はちょうど干潮でしたので２時間くらい滞在することができました。シュノーケルしたり写真を撮ったり。近くではホヌ(海がめ)を見ることもできました。ＣＭでも見たことがあって、一度は行ってみたいと思っていましたが、予想通りほんとに綺麗な場所でした。ツアーに参加予約される前に潮の干満を調べておいた方が良いと思います。

If you love learning about history, culture and origins then this is the day trip for you. From the smiling and informative tour guide and coach driver down to the guest. Services staff. Everybody had a smile on their faces and they were there to be of assistance at all times.

Our tour guide 'Cousin Mitch' was extremely informative and kept my 6 year old daughter entertained. He got us to all the shows and events on time we didn't miss a thing.
The centre is full of vibrant colours and rich history and watching all the island dances during the boat pagent was amazing.

It was a long day topped off by the amazing evening show which truly took my breath away, was well worth it

Reccomend this activity for those who can swim and in good shape. I've always wanted to scuba dive and this was a great solution without buy equipment.Ross was the instructor who took great care for our safety. Fish, starfish, urchins, shark and a huge turtle were seen. Fabulous experience.

Faboulous! I would recommend for families as well. Very professional; told a beautiful story; and food was 5 star.

The day we participated was cloudy, and the water level was high, so we couldn't see the sandbar. However, the water was incredibly clear, and it was transparent in the shallow areas. In the snorkeling spots, it was a bit dark and murky, but we could see plenty of fish and coral. And the hamburger for lunch was really delicious! (laughs)

私たちが参加した日は曇りで水位も高くサンドバーは見れませんでした‐‐；
ですが水はめちゃくちゃ綺麗で浅瀬では透き通っていました。シュノーケリングする所では
多少暗くて濁ってはいましたが、魚や珊瑚もばっちり見れました＾＾
そしてお昼のハンバーガーがめっちゃ美味しかったです！！(笑)

Snorkeling was fun! I was able to see fish! On the way back on the bus, it was too cold. I wished they wouldn't blast the air conditioning since everyone was wet.

シュノーケリング楽しかった！魚もみれました！帰りのバスの中、寒すぎ。みんな体濡れているから、クーラーガンガンつけないでほしかった

Ah Man! What an amazing trip. I was a bit weary on the afternoon of since the weather report was not promising any sun. But the sunset was probably the most beautiful I have ever seen. The colors that crusted the clouds were just tear jerking. The crew was so friendly and laid back, food was healthy and tasty, beer was cold, the coastline was misty, water dark blue ... it felt so good to be there at that moment. Cheers to Ocean Joy and VELTRA for making this short trip back to the islands so much fun.

This sail packs in so much in the perfect amount of time. Not only do you get to sail along the west coast of Oahu, but you get to visit a great snorkel spot, eat your fill of delicious food and guzzle down lots of drinks!

I have done a lot of regular dinner cruises in Hawaii and in other states, but this one is definitely the most unique and you totally get a great bang for your buck. Since you are on the west side, you are literally right there as the sun dips below the horizon, and with a steady stream of drinks and as much food as you can eat, there isn't anything better!!!

The drive is like 40 minutes from Waikiki, but the transportation was comfortable and on-time. Great option if you don't want to drive and definitely a "must do" if everyone in your party is planning on knocking back a few.

Be sure to bring some cash to buy the photos that they take of you. The photographer is fantastic and takes TONS of pictures throughout the cruise, both in and out of the water. They put it on a USB drive for you and that way you don't have to worry about snapping shots and can just focus on having fun ^_^

Best. Dinner. Snorkel. Sunset. Cruise. EVAR!

This time, I participated in a family trip with three generations. Since I have a 0-year-old and a 2-year-old, I chose this tour that allows children to join. The guide was very kind and attentive to the kids. Additionally, we were able to take photos in various poses, resulting in wonderful memories. I would like to participate again the next time I go to Hawaii.

今回は3世代での家族旅行で参加させて頂きました。0歳と2歳の子供がいるので子供参加オーケーのこのツアーを選びました。
ガイドの方は大変親切で子供にも気を配って頂きました。また、写真を様々なポーズで撮って頂きとても良い思い出写真が出来ました。次回ハワイに行く際もまた参加したいと思います。

Best snorkel cruise I've been on! The crew were great and you can tell they enjoy their jobs. They were all friendly and personable. They made the experience what is was. Unfortunately I am bad with names, but the crew member who spoke all the different languages was fantastic and so was our photographer (local girl).

I had been searching for a tour where I could see and swim with dolphins in the ocean, and I finally found one. I was truly moved when I spotted a pod of dolphins swimming. Moreover, I was able to hear their calls, which was a very precious experience.

The underwater world was amazing, but the view of the mountains, landscapes, and sky from the surface was also incredibly beautiful. I was able to fully immerse myself in nature by diving and floating on my back.

After dolphin watching, there was free time for snorkeling, stand-up paddleboarding, and canoeing, allowing everyone to enjoy their time in the ocean. I was thrilled to swim alongside a sea turtle, and it was so cute.

Unfortunately, there was a sudden issue with another guest that required us to return to the port, so I was disappointed that I couldn't enjoy the anticipated BBQ on the boat or the hula lesson. However, I felt reassured by the crew's quick response and believe this is a tour I can participate in with confidence.

I would love to join again if the opportunity arises. The taro burger was also delicious.

海の中でイルカを見たり、泳げたり出来るツアーをずっと探していてやっと出会えたツアーです。
イルカの群れを見つけ泳ぐ姿を目にした時は本当に感動しました。
しかもイルカの鳴き声も聞くことが出来て、とても貴重な体験をさせていただきました。
水の中の世界も素晴らしかったけど、水面から見える山や、風景、空の景色も最高にきれいで、もぐったり、仰向けで浮かんだりと大自然を身体いっぱいに感じることが出来ました。
イルカウォッチングの後にはフリーのシュノーケルの時間やサップ、カヌー等のアクティビティもあり、海あそびをそれぞれが思い思いに、楽しむ時間もあり楽しかったです。
その時にウミガメも真横で一緒に泳ぐことが出来てうれしかったし、とてもかわいかったです。
途中他のお客さんにトラブルがあり急遽港に戻ることになったので、楽しみにしていた船上ＢＢＱやフラレッスンが楽しめなかったのがとても残念でしたが、その時のクルーの人達の迅速な対応を見て安心して参加出来るツアーだと思いました。
また機会があれば参加したいと思います。
タロイモバーガーも美味しかったです。

I was worried because it was early in the morning, but surprisingly, it was fine. I took a bus for about 45 minutes to the port, and after a 10-minute boat ride, we arrived at the sandbar. The short boat ride meant I didn't get seasick and was able to enjoy it fully. I had planned to go snorkeling, but unfortunately, it was canceled that day due to faster waves than usual. I hope to participate again next time and enjoy snorkeling. The excitement of standing on the sandbar is something you have to experience to understand. I'm glad I participated.

早朝なので心配していたのですが、意外に大丈夫でした。港まで45分位バスに乗り、10分位の乗船でサンドバーに着きました。短い乗船なので船酔いする事もなく十分楽しめました。シュノーケリングをする予定だったのですが、その日はいつもより波が速いとの事で中止になり残念でした。次回はまたぜひ参加してシュノーケリングを楽しめればと思います。サンドバーに立った時の感激は経験してみないとわかりません。参加して良かったと思っています。

This was my second time in Hawaii, and I experienced snorkeling for the first time on this tour.

I must say, the quality at this price is exceptional—wonderful sea, food, and time management. There are Japanese staff members present, and there are restrooms on the boat. Drinks are free, and alcohol, including beer and wine, is all $5, payable on the spot.

When sea turtles appear, the staff shouts, "Look at 9 o'clock! 3 o'clock! 1 o'clock!" as they briefly come up for air. I saw many of them too!

Moreover, this is the sea of Sandbar, where my favorite movie Top Gun, starring Tom Cruise, was filmed, as well as scenes from Pirates of the Caribbean. It was truly moving. I highly recommend it.

As the season changes, it can get a bit chilly. A jacket or something similar is essential, and there are warm drinks available. You can return to the hotel in your swimsuit!

This is a half-day optional tour, and it starts early but is very satisfying overall. Thank you very much!

Thanks to this experience, I am now planning my first diving trip in Kerama, Japan.
