Visiting the Poly. Cultural Center is a must do when visiting Ohau. This is a very enjoyable, educational and informative view of the Hawaiian Island. We had the VIP tour with a wonderful guide Wendy. Just when we thought it could not get any better we attended the theatrical show "Ha The Breath of Life" which was outstanding. What ever you do do not miss this.

I participated at the request of my son, who is now in his first year of middle school. Our guide, Shin, was very attentive and there were no particular troubles. My son was able to dive properly. I think he did a great job for his first time. We encountered sea turtles twice. It was humorous to see them just floating and not moving much. The schools of fish seemed a bit sparse. Still, when I went in with the snorkel and had food in my hand, I was able to observe a large number of fish up close.

中学１年になった息子のリクエストで参加しました。ガイドのシンさんは、丁寧に教えてくれて特にトラブルはありませんでした。息子もちゃんと潜っていました。はじめてにしては上出来だったと思います。ウミガメに２回出会いました。ちょっとボ~ッとして動かないのがユーモラスでした。魚群は少し薄い感じがしました。それでも、シュノーケルで入ったとき餌を手にしていると多くの数の魚がまじかで観察できました。

On the day of the kayaking, the sea had quite a few waves, but we somehow managed to reach Flat Island. It was about a 500-meter distance. At first, I was a bit intimidated by the strength of the waves and wind, but thanks to the instructor's careful guidance, everyone made it to the island safely. If the sea had been a bit calmer, we might have enjoyed it more leisurely, but the memory of paddling hard to get across is also a good one.

When I returned to the hotel, my abs and legs were sore, making it a bit tough to get up in the morning. Well, that's also a good memory.

カヤック当日の海は、結構波があったのですが、なんとかフラット島までたどり着けました。距離にして500メートルぐらいでした。始めは波と風の強さにちょっとびびってましたが、インストラクターの丁寧な指導で、無事に全員島まで渡れました。もうちょっと海が静かだったら、もっと余裕を持って楽しめたかもしれませんが、必死でパドルして渡った思い出もいい物でした。
ホテルに戻ったら、腹筋と足が筋肉痛で朝起きるのがちょっとしんどかったです。まあ、それも良い思い出です。

On my husband's strong recommendation, we decided to try kayaking as a couple. I honestly wasn't very enthusiastic at first, thinking, "We're definitely going to capsize!!! This is scary!!!" However, once we actually tried it, it was a lot of fun. They taught us carefully, and fortunately, we didn't capsize (laughs). The beach was very beautiful, and it was great for relieving our lack of exercise.

At Flat Island, we were able to see birds in their nests, and we all enjoyed eating a grass that had a strange taste (it was similar to olives and quite delicious). Besides kayaking, we had a great time. By the way, we chose pizza for our set lunch, and it was a fantastic choice! I heard that spinach pizza is quite popular♪

主人の強い希望で、夫婦でカヤックに挑戦しました。
絶対転覆する！！！怖い！！！と、正直最初は乗り気ではなかったのですが、実際にやってみるととても楽しかったです。
丁寧に教えてくれますし、幸い転覆もしませんでした(笑)
ビーチはとても綺麗で、運動不足の解消にもなってよかったです。
フラットアイランドでは巣穴の中にいる鳥も見られたし、不思議な味のする(オリーブに似ていて結構美味しかった)草をみんなで食べたりと、カヤック以外も楽しめました。
ちなみにセットのランチはピザを選択したのですが、大正解でした☆
ほうれん草のピザが人気なんだそうです♪

I was picked up from the hotel where I was staying, passed by the "What Tree Is That?" tree, and arrived at the port. After a bathroom break, we boarded the boat. Before reaching the dolphin point, we were lucky enough to see a rare whale at the end of April. We snorkeled at the dolphin point. When we were told to "look down," we saw many dolphins! The underwater world, illuminated by sunlight, was beautiful.

My 4-year-old child was indeed scared of the ocean, but the staff helped by putting them on a kayak, and they seemed to have a great time.

The hula dance while feeling the wind was also enjoyable, and the CD of the photos I purchased turned out to be excellent. I brought an underwater camera, but I couldn't compete with the professionals.

Since it was April, I was glad I brought a hoodie.

宿泊してたホテルまで迎えにきてもらい、この木なんの木の横を通過し、港に到着。トイレタイムの後船に乗り込みます。イルカポイントに着く前に４月末には珍しい鯨に会えました。イルカポイントでシュノーケル。look downと言われ海の中を見るとイルカがたくさん！日の光が注ぐ海の中は綺麗でした。
４歳の子どもは、やはり海を恐がりましたが、スタッフがカヤックに乗せてくれて、楽しそうでした。

風を感じてのフラダンスも楽しかったし、購入した写真のＣＤも、申し分なく出来上がりの良いものでした。私も水中カメラを持って行きましたが、プロには敵わないです。

時期が４月ということもあり、パーカーを持って行って正解でした。

All in all, was a good experience. The entertainment was excellent. Much less people than at the Polynesian Cultural Center lu'au which was very nice. The only problem was the server who was extremely rude and sarcastic and made a part of the night very unpleasant.

I loved the entire experience. Will go back again. Should have booked the entire day.

楽しかったです、素晴らしい体験でした。スタッフの皆さん、ありがとうございます。

It was fun, was an impressive experience
Your staff, thank you

The last time I went kayaking was at Catalina Island, we didn't even get wet. I was not prepared for this adventure at all. It was a lot of work I could not have done it without my husband. There was a single girl in our group it was her first time and she had a really tough time. It was soooo windy, they don't call it the windward side of the island for fun apparently. The guides were great. Helpful, friendly, and encouraging. But the wind was horrible. Maybe we were really just there on an unusual day but you may want to check and see about other kayaking adventures I hear the secret island one is awesome. The lunch was quite yummy, it was sandwich wraps, soda, chips, water, and granola bars too. The beach we stopped at was pretty and the snorkeling was fun but it was hard to see much. When we made it to the island and got out of our kayaks a huge gust of wind came and the sand hit our legs like a sandblaster! Not cool. When we walked around to the backside of the island

I had to go to the sandbar on my first trip to Hawaii! Although I was alone, the staff were young and friendly, and the ocean was incredibly beautiful. Of course, I also got to see sea turtles. It seemed difficult to take pictures, though. I’m good at snorkeling, so I easily cleared it and swam at the front of the tour, enjoying the fish in the clear waters.

初めてのハワイでサンドバー行くっきゃない！だけどぉ、独りは一人だったけどぉ。スタッフは若くて気さくな感じだし、海はとってもきれいなのだぁ。もちろんウミガメも見れたよぉ。写真に撮るのは難しそうだったけれどぉ。初種のーケリングも潜るの得意だから難なくクリアーでツアーの先頭を泳げば澄み切った海で魚たちを楽しめます。

It was my first experience with snorkeling!

Even though I wore a life jacket, it was quite challenging for me, who can't swim, to get used to using the fins ^^;

However, they assessed how well each participant could swim at the beginning and provided support, so I was able to swim with peace of mind ;)

The water wasn't as clear as in photos or stories, so I couldn't see the dolphins clearly underwater or swim with them, but I could hear their voices! ((＠0＠) From the boat, I was able to see several mother-dolphin pairs and groups☆

The captain and crew were incredibly kind, and the hamburgers were delicious ♥ When I was on the kayak, I got to see a sea turtle up close, which was truly moving (:_; )

And above all...

The ocean was so beautiful!!!!

I forgot everything and felt so relaxed ´ω`

The final hula experience was also a lot of fun *^'*b

I think anyone, whether friends, couples, or families, will definitely enjoy it!!

I highly recommend it for those who want to experience Hawaii in just one day＼^0^／

シュノーケリング初体験でした！

ライフジャケットを着用していたものの、
泳げない私はフィンの使い方に
慣れるまでなかなか大変でした^^;

でも最初にどのくらい泳げるか
参加者の状態を把握して
フォローしてくれたので
安心して泳げました;)

海はそれほど透き通ってなかったので、
写真や体験談のように
水中でイルカをハッキリ見たり、
一緒に泳ぐことはできませんでしたが、
声が聞こえましたよっ((＠0＠
船上からは何頭もの親子や群れを
見ることができました☆

キャプテンやクルーの皆さんは
とーっても優しいし、
ハンバーガーはおいしいし♥
カヤックに乗った時には
ウミガメを間近で見られて
本当に感動しました(:＿＿;)

そして何より…

海がキレ~~~イ!!!!

何もかも忘れて
癒してもらいました´ω`

最後のフラ体験も
とっても楽しかったです*^'*b

友達、カップル、家族、
誰と参加しても必ず
楽しめると思います!!

一日でHawaiiを体験したい方には
本当にオススメです＼^0^／

We just went for the late arrival and only got to visit a couple of the islands before dinner and the "HA" show. We would have enjoyed the whole day.

Travelled on a budget with my son to Oahu. Captain Bob's provided a great water adventure, including turtles, snorkeling and lunch. The excursion got us to the windward side of the island, allowing us to see more of Oahu. The staff was very friendly and helpful.

This was a great experience we got to see the USS Missouri, The Pacific Aviation Museum, The USS Arizona Memorial, and the USS Bowfin. Our driver Francis was very nice and took very good care of us. This would be a long day for children under the age of about ten, other than that it would be a great experience for anyone who is interested in Pearl Harbor as well as other interesting aspects of the US military.

The sunset viewed from the sea is exceptional. There is an emotion that only those who have experienced it can understand. On top of that, there are fireworks. You can enjoy a classic Hawaiian experience that makes you feel luxurious.

海から眺めるサンセットは格別です。体験した人にしかわからない感動があります。おまけに花火。リッチな気分が味わえるベタなハワイを体験できますよ。

My wife and I went on this snorkeling cruise in late February, and it was the funnest part of our vacation on Oahu. Allthough there are many choices for snorkeling you could take while in Hawaii, and on Oahu, I really think this was good for the price. The crew, the lunch, and especially the place where we snorkled - Kaneohe Bay. Fantastic! The sandbar was fun, I think they should spend more time there, or incorporate another tour that would be just for those wanting to lounge around on the sandbar and have some drinks and food. We are glad that we went on this activity, and would do it again!

great trip out to the Polynesian Cultural Center! very informative and fun at each village.. traveled with family with kids in mid 20s and we all enjoyed. Luau and night show (Ha) were both enjoyable! only problem is that you are on your own once you get there unless you want to pay more for a guide..didnt think you really needed one especially if you just follow the map in order you can see the whole park in a day!

My sister and I had lived on Oahu for 5 1/2 years in the 50s and returned for her 70th birthday. The PCC was not in existence when we lived there but I had visited it with my husband in the 70s. Since we didn't think we would travel to Hawaii again, sis and I decided to go "whole hog" and booked the Super Ambassador package for this outing and luau.

To say it was well worth the extra money is putting it mildly! We were treated like royalty from the minute we got off the bus.

Beke (from Mongolia) was our personal guide for the day and gave us each a beautiful shell lei which identified us all day as SAs. Beke couldn't have been more helpful - she carried any extras we had (umbrellas, sweaters - you name it), got us ponchos when it started to rain, dried off the seats we had to sit on for performances after it rained; if there was anything to be done, she did it and with the friendliest attitude we could have wished for. She was punctual, turning up exactly on time when she ha

An outstanding way to enjoy the waikiki sunset. Hawaiil activites is da bomb. our friday dinner cruise got cancelled due to weather. after a phone call to hawaii activites, they quickly got us rescheduled for the saturday evening cocktail cruise on the Hilton Aloha catamarran. We practically had this 50 ft sailboat to ourselves. a 1 1/2 hour cruise along the shores of waikiki. a beautiful sunset and saw humpback whales surfacing and "sounding". a fantastic way to spend our last evening in honolulu. The crew was great, attending to our every request. Great drinks and music. If you want a relaxing way to spend the evening and enjoy being out on the water, take this cruise.

We had a great time on this cruise/snorkel activity. The staff on the boat were friendly and knowledgeable. The snorkeling on the reef was awesome with lots of colorful corals and many different fish. We saw a turtle in the water while we were snorkeling and followed it for awhile. We played water volleyball on the sandbar and it was lots of fun. The boat stopped at a spot where there are green turtles and we saw lots of them. The guitar serenade during lunch was a nice touch. I would recommend this cruise to others.

Very complete and entertaining day; learned many new things about Polynesia.
Thank you one and all!

I have lived in Waikiki for the last 5 years and always wanted to Kayak but never tried. My son took me on this great Kayak outing and we really enjoyed ourselves! I'm 46 and was a little concerned about being in good enough shape to handle Kayaking in the ocean, but the Kailua beaches are protected by coral reefs and the waves were never a problem. The area is gorgeous and being able to paddle out to bird sanctuary was a real treat. The folks at Oahu Kayaking are very friendly and knowledgeable. Watching the video before we set out helped to put my fears at ease. This is a perfect activity for singles, couples, families or even a quiet solo outing. All in all, a great way to spend the day!

The tour guide was a wonderful Japanese lady who was very kind.

It was a lucky day; I was able to swim with dolphins (although they were a bit far away), see whales, and swim very close to turtles.

On the way back, I was thrilled to see a larger dolphin that rarely appears!

The lunch burger was really delicious, and those who wanted to could also enjoy kayaking, making for a very fun experience.

The local guides and hula dance instructors were also very warm and wonderful people, creating great memories.

There were couples, solo travelers, and groups of two girls, among others.

The boat swayed a bit, so it's better to take motion sickness medication!

I highly recommend this tour!!

ツアーのガイドさんも日本人の素敵なお姉さんで、とても親切でよかった。

その日はラッキーデーで、イルカとも泳げたし（ちょっと遠かったけど）クジラも見れて、カメともとても近くで一緒に泳ぐことができました。

帰りがけにたまにしか現れない大きめのイルカも見ることができて感動！！

途中のランチのハンバーガーがとってもおいしかったり、カヤックも希望者は乗せてもらえてとても楽しく過ごすことができました。

現地のガイドサンやフラダンスの先生たちもとても温かく素敵な人で、いい思い出ができました。

カップル、一人旅、女の子二人組みいろいろな方がいました。

船は少し揺れるので酔い止め飲んでおいたほうがBETTER！

おススメのツアーです！！

Everyone was extremely helpful. My husband and I were directed to our table right away. When we decided to go up deck for the view we went back to our table and had our salads waiting for us. The lobster was delicious and they even helped crack it open. The entertainment was fun and engaging and when it came to disembark the ship, it was fast and painless...no line! My favorite part was the view of Honolulu and Waikiki at sunset.

I went on Captain Bob's Snorkeling Adventure with 4 friends last week and we all agreed that it was the BEST day we spent in Hawaii. The crew was FANTASTIC; fun, entertaining, knowledgeable, laid back... perfect!

The ocean volleyball and snorkeling at our own reef was a welcome change from the crowds in Waikiki.

I highly recommend this trip to everyone visiting Oahu! We have all decided to bring our kids and do this trip again on our next visit to the island.

Thanks to Daniel-son, Jenner, Macho Taco, Kelly and the rest of the crew for a perfect day!

Love,
The Colorado Girls

Next time I will do a full day instead of half day and see all the demonstrations in the village.

Our travel agent suggested this tour as a great way to see Pearl Harbor and downtown Honolulu, and she was right on the money! Our guides were friendly and very informative sharing lots of detail, Pearl Harbor was moving and very special, and the USS Missouri was impressive. This is a great tour, though you spend a lot of time on the shuttle while going through Honolulu

I took my wife on a self guided, 4hr, tour. The location was fairly easy to find with the help of GPS. About 45 min, with traffic, from Ewa Beach. Anyway, the staff was very helpful and welcoming upon arrival. After signing required paperwork ( hazard waiver and such) we were shown an 8 min video of the area where you may take your kayak. For first timers, doing a self guided tour, I suggest paying attention to the video as there are several key area's that will assist in your adventure, especially on how to approach one of the islands you may visit, as there are merging swells in the center of the landing area of the islands. The walk to the staging area is not far and so if you drove, I suggest leaving your vehicle at the venue parking lot as there is minimal parking where you pick up your kayak. I also suggest to either commit to going all the way to the bigger islands or going to the closer "Flat Island" and then proceding to snorkle at the next beach area, as the islands are quite

Last year, I participated for the first time, and my entire family was moved, so even though the members were different this year, it was still an emotional experience. Above all, having dinner while watching the sunset and the show afterward gave everyone goosebumps and filled us with satisfaction. If you have the opportunity, I highly recommend participating. I'm sure it will be a wonderful memory of Hawaii.

昨年初めて参加させてもらい家族全員が感動したため今年もメンバーは違ったのですがやはり感動でした。何よりもサンセットを観ながらの食事、其のあとのショーは全員が鳥肌ものの感動をもらい満足感でいっぱいでした。
機会があれば、是非参加されることをお勧めします。きっとハワイの思い出には最高だと思います。

I have booked all my Pearl Harbor Tours over the years with Hawaii Activities and have always had a great day. This was a new tour being offered and I thought that it would be the perfect tour that would allow me to visit four major WWII sites in one full comprehensive day. It met all of my expectations and then some. The actual tour was very informative and moving. Our driver/guide, Francis, did a fantastic job during a day filled with problems. First, the bus was running late with all the different pick-ups and it didn’t reach my hotel until a half-hour after my scheduled pick-up time. Then we had to meet another bus and transfer all those people to our bus. This made us later yet and put us right in the middle of the slow moving rush hour morning traffic. When we finally got to the Arizona Memorial we were running behind. Then when it was our turn to finally enter the movie room, the electricity went out in the entire Visitor Center. We had to skip the movie and head right
