Oahu
The staff & service are both fantastic. They are so accommodating. The food is very good, however I was not able to enjoy it because I was so seasick. I didn't expect it to be such a rough ride. The boat could use an upgrade & makeover for sure. It's a bit dated. Entertainment was OK. That part could use an upgrade as well. They should know that there ARE good songs from this decade as well. Spring for the upgrade. Downstairs looked a bit crowded.
I participated with a close friend. Since it was both of our first time in Hawaii, we were looking for activities where we could see dolphins, but I was a bit worried because I wasn't confident in my swimming skills. The Japanese guide, Keiko, and the local staff were all very cheerful and kind. This time, based on the captain's decision, we descended the stairs of a catamaran and followed a pod of dolphins while holding onto a rope. I thought I wouldn't be able to chase the dolphins while snorkeling, so this was an unexpected and wonderful method! I heard that now, to protect baby dolphins, they swim fast and it's hard to keep up with them while snorkeling. I was so impressed by the staff who tried to show us the dolphins up close! There were plenty of dolphins, and it was a wonderful time. At the snorkeling spot, there were also turtles, and everyone was really enjoying themselves. The hamburgers were very delicious, and the hula dance lesson was fun. I would love to participate again when I go back to Hawaii.
仲良しの友だちとふたりで参加しました。
ふたりとも初ハワイだったのでイルカに会えるアクティヴィティを探していたんですが、泳ぎに自信がない私は少々心配もありました。
日本人ガイドのkeikoさんもロコのスタッフさんもとっても朗らかな良い方ばかりでしたし、今回は船長さんの判断でカタマランという船の階段に降り、ロープにつかまったままイルカの群れを追って見る方法でした。私はシュノーケルでイルカを追うのはできないなぁ…と思っていたので願ってもいない方法でした!今は赤ちゃんイルカを守るためにスピードが速くなかなかスノーケリングでは追いつけないそうです。なんとか近くで見せてくれようと考えてくださったスタッフに感激!イルカの数もいっぱいで素敵な時間でした。
スノーケルのポイントでは亀もいてみんな本当に楽しんでいました。
ハンバーガーもとってもおいしかったし、フラダンスレッスンもおもしろかったです。
またハワイに行ったら参加したいです。
The employees are all very nice and a lot of fun, the food was delicious, and the shows were great.
This was an excellent tour and well worth the money! Our bus driver/tour guide was outstanding! Garfield was very knowledgeable with the sites and history of both the city tour as well as being our guide on the Uss Missouri. I would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Hawaii.
Our guide was very informative. We loved learning more about each culture and participating in the activities. The food at the luau was fantastic and the entertainment was wonderful. The Horizons show was incredible.
I truly enjoyed this tour and would recommend it to all who come to Hawaii. Thank you so much for this experience.
I thought the center was enjoyable for the whole family. I definitely recommend the all day "Ambassador" package. It was great having a tour guide to take us to each village to ensure we didn't miss anything and arrived just in time to have perfect seating without having to wait. Our guide (Darrin from New Zealand) took our kids to do activities while my husband and I watched several pre-shows in peace and than he brought the kids to see the main show in each village. The dancing parade on canoes is a must see along with the Samoa village. My guide recommended the Prime Rib buffet dinner instead of the Luau Buffet. He said the food was much better, it was more quiet to have a break, and the show was just a mini pre-show to the one we were going to see at 7:30. I am definitely glad we did that and have to agree with him. The night show was spectacular and if you get the Ambassador package you get preferred sitting and ice cream during the show. Don't waste your money on the Super Ambass
We all had a great time and I cannot say enough on how wonderful all the crew members are! They were all very attentive and helpful as well. My sister had never been snorkeling before and they had her swimming around and looking at fish in in no time. The area is also beautiful too and how cool was it to hang out on the sand bar in the middle of the bay?! Great time!
lots of fun, lots of fish, just a great time, would do it again
My family & I thoroughly enjoyed this tour. My husband is a HUGE history buff, my son - age 15 even enjoyed it, along with my parents (Around 60 yrs. old) and my husband & myself (late 30's) Therefore, you can see that it was interesting for all ages. It was a very spooky feeling standing on the Arizona Memorial, looking down at the sunken ship, seeing the oil still leaking into the water, and reading all of the names of those who perished that awful, fateful day. We also got to meet & take pictures with two of the survivors from that day. They were inside, sitting near the museum signing autographs. One of them was born in Macomb, Illinois, about 50 miles from our hometown of Rockford, so that was very surprising! We had an awesome guided tour aboard the USS Missouri. Took about 90 minutes, we even got to see inside. Saw the bunks where the sailors slept, the control room, radio room, the table where the declaration was signed to end the war, the "mess hall", stood under the g
Hawaii Activities made my first ocean kayaking experience a great one. I'll do it again the first chance I get!
I booked the lunch ride for myself and Daughter in June of 2007. I have to commend the Gunstock Ranch, we had such a wonderful time with our 2 tour guides and saw the beautiful sights of Oahu from the bottom to the top. Were we found seashells on the very top of the mountain and mongoose along the path to get there. The Lunch and the company the tour forward will last us forever until we can get back again to do it all over, I would not hesitate to recommend this extremely enjoyable activity. If you ever need a recommendation please let me know.
Made reservations for the Twilight "Ambassador" package and the only difference I noticed between the "Ambassador" and the "Alii" package was probably just the seating assignment at the show, souveniers, and free ice cream desert during the shows intermission. Had a good time but I think the "Alii" package would have been a much better value considering there wasn't much of a difference between the two packages and I think I would have seen a much better overall view of the show. I wasn't able to see much on the other side of the stage because I was sitting to close to it.
I want to comment that the driver, Ben, the guide /bus driver, assigned to our tour was the best. He made our trip enjoyable and informative. Our entire group enjoyed his sense of humor and knowledge of Arizona and Missouri tours. In fact you was our tour guide at the USS Missouri. He knew how to make the maximun use of our time and best place for lunch.
We definitely will come back and will request Ben, if he is still owrking for this company.
Excellent value.
had a great time and it was our first time snorkeling.staff was very helpful and nice. we will go back to capt bob's again.
Our family loved the whole day, the food
was as good as any cruise ship we have
been on. This is a must on our next
visit to Ohau.
The purpose of this trip was different, but while browsing the internet, I couldn't help but want to meet dolphins and sea turtles, which made choosing options within my limited time quite difficult.
I had been to Sea Life Park before, and since they offer activities where you can interact and play with dolphins, I thought that might be nice. I also considered scuba diving in the waters of Hawaii since I have diving experience...
I decided on Dolphin & You because, after looking at their website, it seemed like a very eco-friendly tour that was gentle on both people and nature.
It was a great choice!! It felt almost like a waste to go alone. I got to meet dolphins and encountered sea turtles. I didn't realize it at the time, but in the experience DVD I purchased, I discovered a sea turtle snuggling up next to the boat during the final photo session. My camera captured close-ups of the sea turtles and underwater shots of me looking graceful like a mermaid, taken by the accompanying photographer and local boys. I also learned hula while wearing a pareo and enjoyed delicious burgers—everything was perfect.
The most impressive part was the excellent service and thoughtfulness of all the staff. Since it was an early morning trip, we were able to make effective use of our time, and it was a day of complete satisfaction.
Even though the memories of the trip are fading, my passion for dolphins has not cooled down. I absolutely recommend it!
今回の旅の目的は他にあったのですが、ネットを見ているうちに、どうしてもイルカや海亀に会いたくなり、限られた時間でのオプション選びに迷いました。
シーライフパークは前に行ったことがあり、イルカとふれあい、遊べるアクティビティーというのでそれもいいかなとか、ダイビング経験があるので、ハワイの海でのスキューバダイビングにしようかとか・・・
ドルフィン&ユーに決めたのは、ホームページを見て、とてもエコロジーで人にも自然にも優しいツアーのように思えたからです。
大正解!!
一人参加がもったいないくらい。イルカにも出会えたし、海亀にも遭遇。そのときには気づかなかったけど、購入した体験DVDには最後の記念撮影の船の傍らにしっかり寄り添う海亀ちゃんを発見。持参したカメラには、同行のカメラマンやロコボーイが撮ってくれた、海亀の接写、水中での私の姿が人魚のように華麗に。
パレオをつけてフラも習い、おいしいバーガーもいただき、いうことなし。
一番の感激はスタッフ全員のの対応のよさと、思いやりです。
早朝の便だったので、時間も有効に使え、なにもかも大満足の一日でした。
旅の思いでが薄れるのに、いまだイルカ熱はさめません。絶対おすすめです!
I loved the polynesian cultural center. The luau, night show and the overall cultural center were amazing. It was great fun, but I would recommend the whole day activity because you need that much time to visit all the different islands and their shows at the center. This was my second time visiting the center and I would recommend it to anybody.
That was great time for my family.
And the driver(guide) was very kind.
Thank you.
A great overview of Polynesia. I enjoyed my day. I suggest a guided tour to see everything. Unfortunately, no cocktails are available.
We went on the sunset dinner cruise in June 2007 and had a great time! All of the staff was wonderful and very friendly. The dinner was good- nice portions ( we did NOT go home hungry), and the music and show was a blast! The top deck was perfect for taking sunset pictures of Diamond Head. We did the couple's plan and recommend it to any couple deciding on this package. This ended up being a really fun night for the both of us and would highly recommend it to anyone going to Oahu!
My family and I had a wonderful time with the Bob's boat and would recommend this tour to anyone coming to the island of Honolulu. Everyone had a good time since there was something for everyone to do. My grandmother just wanted to chill on the boat, and she did, my mom would wade in teh shallow water and then work on her tan, and my brothers went crazy chasing each other down the sand bar. Me? I had a blast snorkeling at the reef and hope to go back soon!
There are so many snorkeling cruises to choose from, but I am very glad that I chose Captain Bob! It was a breath of fresh air to get out of Waikiki and the beaches and the sky were absolutely breathtaking. The food was grilled fresh and the crew were made sure that all guests were attended too. Really, I just cannot say enough good things about this tour and have been recommending it to all my friends! Now they just need to get to Hawaii lol. Good job!
Thoroughly enjoy our whole day at the Center. The activities were great and the luau dinner was wonderful. Everyone we met there was extremely courteous, helpful, informative, and friendly! Would highly recommend everyone partake of this adventure!
I couldn't swim with the dolphins. To be honest, wild dolphins move quickly.
You can see dolphins from the boat. They're cute.
I felt it was a bit of an exaggeration, but I'm satisfied.
イルカとは泳げませんでした。
って言うか、野生のイルカは動きが早い。
船からイルカは見ることが出来ます。かわいいです。
少し誇大広告の気もしました。でも満足です。
Lots of fun for everyone. The crew is top-notch and very friendly. The day provides a perfect amount of water time and the lunch was grilled and ready when we got back on the boat. My friends and I decided last minute to go on this tour and it was a last minute decision that was great! If you want to get out of Waikiki for the day (and trust me, you SHOULD!) this is the tour!
This was a really great trip and better snorkeling than Hanauma Bay. The second reef we went to had lots and lots of fish and we didn't have a million people surrounding us. Getting out of Waikiki was a great idea and the water is just beautiful! The sandbar was really fun and I got my butt whooped at water volleyball! A big round of applause the fantastic crew! Thank you and I cannot wait to come again!
the crew was super nice .. location was beautiful ...my sister and i had so much fun!
A unique experience definitely worth a vist while in Oahu.
The guide and his first mates were top notch. It was nice to experience snorkling around the reef with just a few dozen people, especially since it was our first time. Would recommend this to anyone who plans to visit Oahu! Was a great way to spend one of our days on the island. Great value too.
