It was so much fun!!

Since it was late January, it was cold even when it was sunny!!

There were even people who didn’t go snorkeling! But I think you can only see such beautiful coral here!

I was satisfied to see turtles too!!

As for the food, it was a hamburger!!! It was just ordinary (﹡ˆˆ﹡).

楽しかったー！！

1月下旬だったから晴れてても寒かった！！

シュノーケリングは行かない人もいたくらい！
でも、こんなに綺麗なサンゴはここしか見れないんじゃないかなと思います！

亀も見れて満足でした！！

ご飯は、ハンバーガー!!!
普通です(﹡ˆˆ﹡)

Hawaii was our first time for both of us, and my husband made a reservation for the sandbar online. Since it was the rainy season, we were worried about the weather, but with the beautiful scenery, the staff who accompanied us were fun, we enjoyed delicious cheeseburgers, saw turtles popping their heads up, and went snorkeling. It was the best! I want to create another opportunity to go to Hawaii and experience the sandbar again.

Hawaiiは、２人とも初めてで、サンドバーも旦那がネットで見て予約しました★
雨期なので、天気が心配でしたが、きれいな景色と共に、一緒に同行のスタッフさんも楽しくて、美味しいチーズバーガーも食べたり、亀も顔を出してくれたり、シュノーケリングもしたり、最高でした(^-^)(^-^)
また、Hawaiiに行く機会を作ってサンドバー体験をしたいです◎

I made a reservation on the first day.
Since it was my first time in Hawaii, I was worried about the food, and I was tempted by the dishes I found on this site, so I made a reservation.
When I arrived, it was a very popular restaurant with many people waiting.
The food and the staff were both excellent. I thought there should definitely be a line!!
I would love to stop by again if I go to Hawaii.

初日に予約してみました。
初めてのハワイだったのでご飯の具合が心配で、このサイトで見つけた料理にそそられ予約してみました。
行ってみるととても人気のお店で待っている人も多かったです。
料理もスタッフもとてもよかったです。行列ができるはず!!と思いました。
またハワイに行くなら寄りたいですね。

At low tide, the sandbar is completely exposed, but at high tide, the water reaches about thigh-deep. First, we went to the sandbar, and I was quite disappointed because there was a lot of water. However, after seeing sea turtles and snorkeling, we passed by again, and the sandbar was visible. They don't change the order of the activities... I guess there are also considerations with other boats, so you need to check the tide schedule yourself when making a reservation. Overall, though, I was able to see many sea turtles, and snorkeling was fun as I swam with lots of fish.

サンドバーは、引き潮の時は完全に砂浜が出てきますが、満ち潮だと太ももくらいまで水があります。まず最初にサンドバーに行き、かなり水が多くてがっくりしていたら、その後ウミガメを見たり、シュノーケルした後に通ったら、砂浜が見えてました。順序を変えてはくれないんですね…。他の船との兼ね合いもあるのでしょうから、申し込む時点で、自分で干満を調べておかなきゃいけないという事ですね。でも全体としては、たくさんのウミガメを見れたし、シュノーケルもたくさんの魚と泳げて楽しかったです。

The food was delicious. Since it was a buffet style, I ended up eating too much. The dance was also sophisticated and impressive. It was standard, but the seats were only about one meter farther from the stage than those of non-standard guests, and there was no difference in the food. The standard seating was fine. I was surprised by how many people were in the audience.

　料理が美味しい．ビュッフェスタイルなので食べ過ぎてしまう。ダンスも洗練されていて迫力があった．スタンダードでしたが，座る席がスタンダードでない人より1メートルほどステージから遠いだけで料理も違いはなかった.スタンダードでよかった．観客が非常に多かったのには驚いた．

Because we have 5-year old son, we wanted to see everything important on one day and without standing in lines. This trip was perfect for that. We spent enough time in each place and had time for lunch (in Pacific Aviation). Our guide was great, funny and informative. Worth recommending!

Cheif's Luau show was good. Transportation was good. Food was alright. Disappointed in the fact that the 'coupon' for a free item we were supposed to get by booking with VELTRA was useless. In other words there was no free item.

Although there were many clouds on the day, when the sun came out, the sandbar became a beautiful color. The hamburger for lunch was very delicious, and we were able to see many sea turtles during the watch, as well as tropical fish while snorkeling, making for a fulfilling time. Since it’s cold during this season, it’s best to bring a jacket. After snorkeling, your body gets quite cold. (You can also get warm drinks on the boat.)

当日は雲が多かったけど、晴れ間が出るとサンドバーがとてもきれいな色になります。
昼食のハンバーガーがとても美味しく、またその後のウミガメウォッチもたくさん見れ、シュノーケリングでも熱帯の魚が見れて充実した時間が過ごせました。
この時期は寒いので、上着は必ず持参した方がいいです。シュノーケリングの後はかなり体が冷えます。（船上で温かい飲み物ももらえます）

The bus ride to the boat harbor was enjoyable. (It's in English, but I can understand the simple parts, so I get the humor.) Once on the boat, everything is in Japanese. It was windy and cold on the day, but the sandbar was lively and fun. Needless to say, it was beautiful. The hamburgers were delicious, and seeing the sea turtles up close afterward was the best. I initially thought about booking with another tour company, but they were fully booked, so I made a reservation here instead, and I don't think there would be much difference. The sandbar is also close enough to dock, and the staff on the boat were very considerate, taking family photos for us and chatting casually.

ボートハーバーまでの行きのバス中から楽しませてくれます。（英語ですが簡単な所は理解できますのでユーモアもわかります。）ボートにのれば日本語です。当日は風が強く寒かったですがサントバーは、はしゃげて楽しかったです。言うまでもなくきれいです。　ハンバーガーもおいしく、その後のウミガメも身近に見れて最高です。他のツアー会社を最初予約しようと思ったのですが、満員で予約できずこちらに予約したのですが、おそらく違いはないと思います。サンドバーも近くに横付けできますし、船の中でもスタッフは気を使っていただき、カメラもファミリーで撮ってもらったり、気軽にしゃべりかけていただきます。

A fantastic tour with swimming at the sandbar, a hamburger lunch, snorkeling with sea turtles, and coral. Since it was the end of December, the water was a bit cold, but you get used to it after a little while. The kids seemed to be cold, so I think it's better to wear warmer jackets or outfits during the winter season.

サンドバーでの海水浴、ハンバーガーランチ、ウミガメ、サンゴのシュノーケリングと大満足のツアー。12月末だったので海はすこし冷たいが、入って少しすれば慣れる。お子さんは寒そうにしていたので、冬シーズンは暖かめの上着や恰好をしたほうが良いと思う。

I heard that this is the only outdoor luau show near Waikiki, so I signed up. Although I had a standard seat, the venue itself isn't very large, so it was quite impressive and worth watching. When I arrived at the meeting place just before 5 PM, participants were already lined up waiting to enter, but since I was one of the early ones, I was guided to the very front seat of the standard section. I think it's better to arrive early since those who come first get seated closer to the front.

While waiting for the show to start, there were activities like bracelet making and tattoo experiences, which made the kids very happy. From the venue, we could see the sunset over the ocean, which was very beautiful.

As for the food, I had high expectations because it was "Hilton," but I think it was decent for a buffet dinner included with the show. A downside was that I had to wait in a long line when I went to get the food initially. Since it seemed like there wouldn't be a shortage of food, it might have been better to relax at my seat and enjoy drinks until the line disappeared.

ワイキキ近辺で野外でのルアウショーはここだけと聞いて申し込みました。
スタンダードシートでしたが、会場自体がそれほど広くないので、十分に迫力があり見ごたえがありました。５時すこし前に集合場所に行くとすでに参加者が並んで入場を待っていましたが、早い方だったのでスタンダードシートの一番前の席に案内していただけました。早い人から前の席に案内してもらえるので、早めに行った方がいいと思います。
ショーが始まるまでの待ち時間は、ブレスレット作りやタトゥーの体験などが出来て、子どもが喜んでいました。会場からは海に沈む夕日が見えて、とてもきれいでした。
料理は『ヒルトンだから』と期待していたほどではなかったけれど、ディナーつきショーのブッフェディナーとしては、まずまずだと思います。最初に料理をもらいに行くときに、かなり並ばなければなかったのがマイナス点。料理がなくなることはなさそうだったので、列がなくなるまで席でゆっくりドリンクを飲んで待ってたらよかったのかもしれません。

This was my first time using Alan1.net. The tour details were well explained, and it was very easy to apply from my mobile phone.

On the day of the event, a traditional Hawaiian dinner was served buffet-style, and a hula show was taking place right nearby while we were eating. As the meal progressed, a few participants were selected to be taught hula dancing, and we had an event where we danced together to the music, which became a wonderful memory.

After dinner, I wondered if that was the end, but we were guided to a hall nearby, and after a short wait, a show featuring celebrity impersonators and a grand hula show began. It lasted about an hour, and the quality was high, so I was very satisfied!

There were also local people who spoke Japanese, which made me feel very safe and allowed me to enjoy the experience. You can take unlimited photos during both the dinner and the show, so I highly recommend it! It became a great memory!

今回初めてAlan1.netを利用させて頂きました。
ツアー内容が詳しく書かれていたうえ、申込みも携帯からでき、とても簡単でした。

当日は、ハワイの伝統的なディナーがバイキング形式で用意されており、食べているすぐ近くでフラショーが行われていました。
食事が進んできたころには、参加者の中から何人か選ばれてフラダンスを教えて頂き、一緒に音楽に合わせて踊るというイベントもあってとても思い出になりました。

ディナーも終わり、これで終わりなのかな？と思っていると、すぐそばにあるホールに案内され、しばらく待っていると、有名人のそっくりさんによるショーや、壮大なフラショーが始まりました。
全部で１時間くらい？でしたが、クオリティーも高くとても満足でした！


現地では、日本語を話せる現地の方もいて、とても安心＆楽しめました。
ディナーでもショーでも写真が撮り放題なので、本当にオススメです！
いい思い出になりました！

I was able to encounter not only dolphins but also, if I was lucky, sea turtles! The staff were very kind, and I had a wonderful time that flew by!

イルカはもちろん、運が良かったのかウミガメにも遭遇することができました！スタッフのみなさんも非常に優しく、あっという間に楽しい時間を過ごす事ができました！

It was amazing to encounter wild dolphins. I wanted to go to a spot with clearer water and more fish for snorkeling. Overall, it was an activity worth the cost.

野生のイルカにあえて最高でした。シュノーケルはもう少し透明度と魚が多い場所に行きたかった。全体的にはコストに見合うアクティビティーでした。

I participated for the first time. It was very cold and tough (´；ω；｀), but I got to see a honu, so it was amazing!

初めて参加しました。
とても寒くって
つらかったです(´；ω；｀)でも
ホヌみれたから
最高でした！

I purchased only the tickets and went by rental car. Since I had gone horseback riding before, this time I headed to Secret Island. After about a five-minute boat ride, we arrived at the island. It felt more like a private beach connected to the mainland rather than an island. Unfortunately, due to the bad weather, I couldn't go into the sea... I'll try again for a rematch.

チケットのみの購入で、レンタカーで行きました。
以前乗馬したので、今回はシークレットアイランドへ。
船に乗って５分ほどで島？に到着。島とゆうよりか陸続きの貸し切りビーチといった感じです。あいにくの天気で海に入れず・・・またリベンジします

I previously visited for dinner and had a good impression, so I made a reservation for lunch this time. The restaurant has a calm atmosphere, which is nice for women who want to dress up a bit. Occasionally, I see some Asian guests in T-shirts, which is a bit of a misunderstanding... at least wearing a collared shirt would be better.

We were seated by the window and enjoyed our meal while looking out at the beautiful weather on the street. The waitstaff hardly understand Japanese, but they had a Japanese menu prepared and seemed accustomed to Japanese customers, so there were no issues at all. My wife chose the "Seafood and Fresh Tomato Linguine," and I had the "Spicy Tomato Sauce with Shrimp." My wife, who is sensitive to flavors during her pregnancy, was satisfied with both the taste and the portion size. Although we tend to finish our meals relatively quickly, we took about an hour to relax and enjoy our coffee at the end.

I would like to visit again.

以前、ディナーで訪問させていただきました。その際にいい印象がありましたので、今回はランチでの予約をさせて頂きました。落ち着いた雰囲気のお店なので、少しおしゃれをしたりしていけるところも、女性としては嬉しいようですね。たまに、勘違いしたTシャツ姿のアジア人も見かけますが･･･せめて襟のあるシャツは着た方がいいですね。

座席は窓際で、いいお天気のストリートを眺めながらの食事となりました。
ウェイターの方々に日本語はほとんど通じませんが、日本語のメニューを準備してくれていたり、日本人慣れしているようなので全く問題ありません。
妻は、「魚介と新鮮トマトのリングイネ」、私は「海老の辛いトマトソース」を選びました。妊娠中で味に敏感になっている妻でしたが、味、量ともに、満足でした。割と早く食事を済ませてしまう私たちですが、最後のコーヒーを飲み終えるまで1時間程度、ゆっくりと過ごさせて頂きました。

また、利用したいですね。

We participated as a family of three with our 6-year-old child. It was fun. The child was able to enjoy snorkeling, and there were many sea turtles, which was great. The view of Waikiki from the ocean was also nice. Above all, I liked the relaxed style of enjoying time on the water without any rush. You can drink alcohol, and the boat was very nice and spacious.

However, even though it was the peak season at the end of the year, I thought over $400 for three people was a bit high. The shuttle service at $30 per person seemed expensive. Moreover, it was supposed to depart from Waianae, but it actually left from a port just past Ala Moana. If that was the case, I could have just driven there myself.

Most participants were American, and the style was American as well. It felt friendly, cheerful, and laid-back. The shuttle time changed by 30 minutes without notice, and I only found out after calling. All the explanations on the boat were in English, and there was no special consideration just because we were Japanese. Therefore, I think those who cannot speak English at all might feel a bit confused. On the other hand, I believe this type of tour, with its American style, is suitable for those who do not particularly like the intense atmosphere of Japanese-style optional tours. I heard that there are Japanese staff on some days.

Since we are going abroad, I think it would be more interesting to participate in a tour like this, with American participants and style, rather than one that is mostly Japanese.

Also, I think it's better to take motion sickness medication. My wife felt seasick towards the end and had a tough time, even though she rarely gets motion sickness in cars.

6歳の子供を連れて家族3人で参加。
楽しかったです。
子供も楽しくシュノーケル出来ましたし、海亀達も沢山いて楽しかったです。海から見るワイキキの景色も良かったです。
何より、あくせくせず、ゆったりと海の上の時間を自由に楽しむスタイルが良かったです。お酒も飲めるし、船はとても素敵で、ゆったりしてました。
たた、年末のピーク時期とは言え、3人で400ドル超は高いかなと
送迎が一人30ドルってのが高い。
しかも、ワイアナエ出航のはずが、アラモアナの先のすぐそばの港発になってましたからね。それなら自分で運転して行ったっつーの。

参加者の殆どはアメリカ人でしたし、スタイルもアメリカ式でした。
フレンドリー、陽気、自己責任、いいかげん。といった感じです。
送迎時間が勝手に30分変わってて、電話で聞いて始めて知る。とかね。
船内でも説明はすべて英語、日本人だからといって、特別に気を使われるわけではないです。
ですので、英語が全くできない方の場合、ちょっと戸惑うと思います。
逆に、日本式のオプショナルツアーの暑苦しい感じがあまり好きでない方には向いてると思います。
日によっては、日本人のスタッフもいるそうです。

せっかく海外に行くのですから、日本人ばかりいるオプショナルツアーに行くよりは、参加者もスタイルもアメリカ式のこういったツアーに参加した方が面白いかなと思います。

おと、酔い止めは飲んだ方が良いと思います。嫁さんは後半船酔いしてしまい辛くなっちゃいましたので。
車では滅多に酔わない程度の強さはあるのですが。

Excellent Tour definantly would go again. Nice friendly staff.

This was an experience of a lifetime. Although the scenery was breath taking all by itself, our tour guide Princess made it even more meaningful with her knowledge of the area and the local customs. This experience will always be a fond memory of my first trip to Hawaii. Thank you Princess!!!!

The artists were great and they allowed even the standard ticket people to take pictures with them after the show.

It seems that it operates three times a day.
It is very systematized, and I was impressed.
The flow is relatively smooth.

They also lend snorkeling equipment, so if you have a bath towel, you can enjoy it.
However, there were quite a few people. It may depend on the day.
For lunch, there are hamburgers.

I was able to see about 5-6 sea turtles swimming.
I saw one while snorkeling as well.
There seems to be a turtle harassment policy, and if you chase or touch them, you could be fined $15,000, so be careful!

1日に3回催行されているようです。
とてもシステム化されていて、関心しました。
流れも比較的ズムーズです。

シュノーケリングの資材も貸してくれるので、バスタオルでもあれば楽しめます。
その代わり人数は多かったです。日によるのかもしれませんが。
昼はハンバーガーです。

ウミガメが泳いでいるのを5-6匹見られました。
シュノーけリング最中にも1匹見ました。
かめハラスメント規約があるそうで、追いかけたり、触ったりすると15000ドル？の罰金が取られることがあるそうですので、ご用心を！

Food was good. Luau could have been better. Very friendly staff.

I participated in the buffet dinner and show plan with my mother! Since this was not my first time in Hawaii, I thought the usual hula show would be boring, so we joined this tour! The dinner was on the 4th floor of the Hawaiian Center (outdoors) and had a homey feel! All the explanations were in English (including the show). If you're tired of the usual hula shows, it might be worth participating in this one! The show is also interesting!

いつものフラショーに飽きた方は参加してみていいかもしれませんよ！
ショーも面白いです！

This was my second time on the Gunstock. This time, it was a sunset horseback riding tour in the evening. The course was the same as usual, but thanks to the beautiful weather, we enjoyed stunning views of the sea and the sunset. It was truly moving. If I could wish for anything, I would have liked to run more, as we mostly walked at a steady pace. That was the only disappointment.

２度目のガンストック。今回はサンセット乗馬ということで夕方のツアーです。
コースは通常のと同じでしたが、天気に恵まれたおかげで美しい海と夕日。
感動でした。
欲を言えばもっと走りたかったなあ。基本ずっと並足だったので。
そこだけが残念。

This was a waste of money. The only thing that Veltra did was make the reservation for the luau and the show. We arrived at the Polynesian cultural center expecting a tour. After a phone call, we realized we was on our own. We could have done it by ourselves.

Crew was great and very friendly did a good job making the minority English speaking tourists feel welcome. Would have appreciated a little more tour of the waters around that side of Oahu rather than pointing at various things and saying there's Gilligan's island as we headed back at end of day.

Really well organised trip - from bus pick-up to drop off. All staff were exceptionally professional placing a great emphasis on safety. Our guide knew the area extremely well and provided intriguing insights in to the local environment. I went by myself and had a great time with the group I was allocated. I would definitely book with this company again.

What a GREAT experience for a first-time flatlander a little afraid of the ocean! Ashlyn & Jenner attended to my every fear and made the experience SO much more enjoyable. Thanks for a great experience. I would do this tour again & I'd go with this company again. I would recommend it to my friends.

I went on a sandbar tour during the cold period at the end of November, which was not during low tide. It was indeed cold, and I couldn't see the sandbar like you do on TV, but the sea was beautiful, I enjoyed snorkeling, and I even saw sea turtles. It was a very satisfying tour. The tour guides were also very attentive and made sure we had a great time, which made the experience even more fulfilling.

11月末という寒い時期に、干潮時間ではないサンドバーツアーに行きました。
確かに寒くてテレビで見るようなサンドバーは見れませんでしたが、海は綺麗で、シュノーケリングも楽しめたし、海亀も見れて、大変満足なツアーでした。
ツアーガイドの方々も私たちを存分に楽しませようとしてくれるのがわかって充実しました。
