Manoa Falls was a different waterfall due to the impact of the hurricane (rockfall), but I was able to fully enjoy the unique flowers and plants of Hawaii. The walking distance was just right, and I could take my time while taking photos. The vegan lunch was also incredibly delicious, featuring only healthy options like vegetables and hijiki!
マノアの滝は、ハリケーンの影響(落石)で、別の滝でしたが、ハワイ特有の花や植物を充分に楽しめました(^-^)歩く距離も丁度良く、写真も取りながらのんびり行くことが出来ました。
ビーガンのランチも、野菜やひじきなど体に優しいものばかりで凄く美味しかったです!

- Although it's called Sandbar, due to the tides, it wasn't a sandy beach but just a shallow area. The height was about thigh-deep.
- During snorkeling, I didn't see a single fish in the 20 minutes.
- There were a lot of people, and it was quite crowded.
- However, the sea turtle watching was great, and I could see them well.
- The staff members were very friendly and fun.
・サンドバーといいつつ、潮の満ち引きの関係で、砂浜にはならずに、ただの浅瀬でした。高さは太ももあたり。
・シュノーケリングは、正味20分で魚は一匹も見えなかったです。
・人も多くてかなりの混雑でした
・ただ、ウミガメウォッチはよく見えて良かったです。
・スタッフの方々はとても気さくで楽しいみなさんでした。

Since the meeting time was set for 6:50 AM, I arrived about 10 minutes early and waited, but when 7:00 AM came, no one showed up. I called and found out that phone support starts at 7:30 AM, which made me feel very anxious as I couldn't get in touch with anyone.
Eventually, around 7:10 AM, a staff member came to pick me up, and when they checked the schedule, it turned out the meeting time was set for 7:00 AM. It seems there had been an unannounced change.
Once on-site, the tour went smoothly, and I was glad to finally enjoy the location visits I had been looking forward to! As for lunch, I went in with low expectations as rumored, and it turned out I was right not to expect much.
待ち合わせ時間が朝6時50分だったため10分前くらいに到着し、待っていましたが7時になっても誰も来ず電話をかけたところ7時半から電話対応開始だそうで連絡もつかず大変不安な思いをしました。
結局7時10分頃に係の人が迎えに来て、予定表を確認したところ待ち合わせ7時となっていました。勝手に変更になっていたようです。
現地では問題なくツアーがおわり、楽しみにしていたロケ地巡りができてよかったです!
昼食は噂通り期待しないで行きましたが、期待しなくて良かった感じでした。

The contrast between the "whiteness" of the shallow areas with coral sand and the "blueness" of the deep sea is very beautiful and amazing. It was also my first snorkeling experience, and I had a lot of fun.

You can be separated into groups of Japanese and non-Japanese participants! So, while the Japanese side was a bit crowded, I think everyone had their own seats and could relax except when gathering for explanations.
First, we went to the sandbar for snorkeling practice! It was incredibly beautiful! Don't worry, there’s plenty of time for taking photos and playing ☻ Just keep in mind that depending on the time, the water can come up to your waist, so I think it's best to check in advance before participating!
After that, we moved on, and during that time, they grilled meat for our hamburger lunch! It was so delicious that I finished it in no time! You can drink beverages for free whenever you want! Only the alcohol is settled afterward!
Then we went turtle watching, and finally, we had more snorkeling! There was plenty of time for that too! They provide lifeguards, fins, and snorkeling masks, so you don’t need to prepare anything!
However, it was quite windy and cold during the move, so a jacket is essential! There are no towels provided, so make sure to bring one! But I think it will dry quickly because of the strong wind!
The meeting place is in front of the green hut at the back! Since I wasn't exactly on time, there's no need to rush if you arrive a bit late for the gathering time (laughs).
I had so much fun that I want to participate again!
日本人と、それ以外の方でボートを分けられます!なので日本人側は若干混んでいましたが説明で上に集まる時以外は皆さん各自席がありゆっくりできたと思います。
まずは、サンドバーに行ってシュノーケリングの練習!すごく綺麗でした!写真を撮る時間も遊ぶ時間もたくさんあるので安心してください☻ただ時間によっては海が腰あたりまで来るのであらかじめ自分で調べて参加するのがいいかと思います!
その後移動して、その間に焼いてくれたお肉でハンバーガーランチ!これがすごーく美味しくてあっという間に食べちゃいました!
飲み物も飲みたい時にタダで飲めます!お酒だけ事後精算です!
その後ウミガメウォッチングをして、最後はシュノーケリング!こちらも時間はたくさんありました!ライフガード、フィン、シュノーケリングのマスク等すべて貸してくださるので用意は不要です!
ただ、移動中は風が強くて寒いので上着は必須です!タオルも貸し出しはないのでどちらかを持ってくれば!でも、風が強くて乾くので大丈夫だとも思います!
集合場所は奥の方にあるの緑の小屋の前です!時間ぴったりではなかったので、集合時間に来なくても焦らなくて大丈夫です(笑)
また参加したいと思うほど楽しかったです!

We chose the best day during our stay, but honestly, the sandbar wasn't as shallow as we expected. However, fortunately, the weather was great, and we got to see truly wonderful views, so I am very satisfied.
When selecting a tour, it seems that encountering a shallower sandbar depends on the tour duration and the timing of low tide.
It was fun.
私達は、滞在期間の中で一番良い条件の日を選びましたが、正直期待していたほどサンドバーは浅くなかったです。でも幸運なことに天候に恵まれて本当に素晴らしい景色が見られたので、私は大満足です。
ツアーを選ぶにあたって、より浅いサンドバーに出会えるのは、ツアー時間と、浅い干潮時の時刻が近いことだそうです。
楽しかったです。

I chose the day with the best conditions during my stay, as it was the closest to low tide time. Luckily, it was sunny, and I was able to see a beautiful, clear ocean.
On the day we participated, there were a lot of people, and two boats went out together. After arriving at the sandbar, we split into those who wanted to relax and those who wanted to snorkel. The snorkeling felt like everyone was swimming in a line in the same spot, so depending on the number of participants, it might feel a bit lacking for those who want to swim while observing slowly. However, I enjoyed it overall because I got to see beautiful scenery.
干潮の浅い日が狙い目ということで、干潮時間がツアー時間に一番近い、滞在中で一番条件が良い日を選びました。ラッキーなことに、晴天で、綺麗で透き通った海を見ることができました。
私たちが参加した日は人数が大変多くて、2台のボートが一緒に出ました。サンドバーに到着した後、ゆっくり過ごしたい人、シュノーケルをしたい人で分かれます。シュノーケリングは、みんなで一斉に同じ場所を一列で泳いでいく感じだったので、参加人数にもよりますが、ゆっくり観察しながら泳ぎたい人には物足りなく感じるかもしれません。キレイな景色が見れたので、全体的に私はとっても楽しめました。

I had a reservation, but I was seated close to the entrance as soon as I walked in. I thought the seats were better when I came without a reservation before.
The food is average. However, since the prices for individual dishes are high, I think the course is a better deal.
The couple next to me only had the main pasta and left.
The service was neither good nor bad; it was just average.

Since it was a VIP course, we started in a lounge-like area with Mai Tais and self-service snacks (such as prosciutto with pineapple, fruit skewers with melon, macadamia nuts, and potato chips). After that, we moved to our dining seats and enjoyed a course meal. We had informed Veltra in advance that we were bringing our one-year-old daughter, so a seat for her was also prepared.
During the meal, our daughter was able to participate in a treasure hunt game, which made her happy as she could walk around the venue (sitting still for the entire meal would have been boring for a one-year-old).
After the meal, the show began. With the VIP course, we could watch the show from our dining seats (on the first floor) while continuing to enjoy our drinks. For the regular course, it seemed that guests finished their meals outside the venue before entering the second-floor seating.
The show started with hula dancing, followed by an Elvis Presley impersonation show, a Michael Jackson impersonation show, and finally, fire dancing and hula dancing. All of it was wonderful, and we had a great time. I'm not sure if the quality of the Michael impersonation was high, but it was enjoyable nonetheless.
Last year, we watched a hula dance show at the Polynesian Cultural Center, which was a more traditional show that showcased Hawaiian culture without any sexy costumes (and that was good in its own way). In contrast, this show was a complete entertainment show with sexy and beautiful hula costumes, and it also allowed for a lively rock atmosphere, making us feel like we were in America! While I didn't know many of the songs, I still had a lot of fun.
Since there is a rock segment, the time for hula dancing isn't very long, so if you want to focus solely on hula dancing, I would recommend other shows. However, if you want to enjoy both American-style music and hula dancing, this show is highly recommended. The location is also at the Royal Hawaiian Center, so for those staying in Waikiki, it's within walking distance, which is a great point for efficient use of time.
VIPコースでしたので、初めにラウンジのようなところでマイタイとセルフサービスのおつまみ(生ハムパイナップル、メロン等の果物串、マカデミアナッツ、ポテトチップス)をいただきました。
それから、各自食事の席まで移動し、コース料理をいただきました。
我が家は1歳の娘連れであることをベルトラさんを通して事前に伝えていたため、娘の席も用意していただいていました。
食事の間に娘は宝探しゲームに参加させていただき、会場を歩くことができて喜んでいました。(1歳の娘にとって食事中ずっとイスに座っているのは退屈なので)
食事が終わると、ショーが始まります。
VIPコースは食事の席(1階席)でそのまま観覧するため、引き続き飲み物を飲みながら見ました。
普通のコースだと、会場の外で食事を終えてから2階席に入場していたようです。
ショーはフラダンスから始まり、エルビスプレスリーの(ものまね)ショー、マイケルジャクソンの(ものまね)ショー、最後にファイヤーダンスとフラダンスという感じで進みました。
どれもとても素敵で、楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。
マイケルのものまねのクオリティーが高かったのかどうかは謎ですが(笑)、楽しめたのでありだと思います。
昨年はポリネシア・カルチャーセンターのフラダンスショーを見ましたが、そちらは、セクシーな衣装などはなしでハワイの文化をしっかり見せる正統派なショーという感じでした。(それはそれでよかったです)
それに対してこちらは完全なエンターテイメントショーで、フラダンスの衣装もセクシーで素敵で、同時に、ロックで盛り上がることもでき、「アメリカにきたって気がする!(笑)」という気分を味わうことができました。
知っている曲は多くありませんでしたが、それでもとても楽しめました。
ロックの時間がある分、フラダンスの時間は長くありませんので、フラダンスだけをじっくり見たい方は他のショーをお勧めしますが、アメリカっぽい音楽もフラダンスも両方楽しみたい方にはお勧めです。
場所もロイヤルハワイアンセンターなので、ワイキキに宿泊している方は徒歩で行けますので、時間が効率的に使えるのも良い点ではないでしょうか。
Thank you very much for visiting us. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed your time here. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you back when you come to Hawaii again.
この度はご来場頂きまして、誠に有難うございます。楽しめて頂けたご様子で、私共も大変嬉しく思っております。またハワイにお越しの際には、ご来場頂けますよう、スタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げます。

I chose this tour based on checking the tide and finding a good location at a reasonable time. I saw plenty of sea turtles, but I would have been a bit more satisfied if we had gone to the sandbar before the tide rose. The water level was rising quickly, and by the time we left, it had become quite deep. During snorkeling, I could see the fish well, but there were so many people that it felt like a hot spring. I ended up seeing more people's feet than fish. Overall, the weather was nice, and I saw what I expected, so it was as anticipated. It has a cliché feel, but it seems to be a must-do tour.
潮位を調べて、かつ、できるだけましな時間で場所も良い、という観点からこのツアーを選びました。ウミガメはたくさん見れましたが、先に潮位が高くなる前にサンドバーへ行ってくれると、もう少し満足できたような。みるみる水位が上がってきて、帰るころにはかなり深くなっていました。シュノーケリングでは魚がしっかり見れましたが、あまりにも人が多くて、温泉状態。魚より人の足の方をたくさん見た、という感じです。一応、天気も良く、見るもの見たので、予想どおりというところでしょうか。ベタなところですが外せないツアーなのかな、という印象です。

It was a fun stage not just for dining and watching the show, but also featuring interactive events! There was a practice time for hula dancing, a contest where randomly selected guests were invited on stage to blow a conch shell (or something like that?), and opportunities to dance with the performers—there was so much going on. The hula dancers showcased various patterns of dance. The English MC was explaining things, but it was a bit fast and hard to understand... Still, I enjoyed it thoroughly. The fire dance was amazing!
The meal had a Hawaiian flair, and it was nice that it wasn't overly extravagant. The fish dish was the most delicious.
ただ食事をしてショーを見るだけでなく、参加型イベントもある楽しいステージでした!
フラダンスの練習タイムがあったり、お客さんの中からランダムにステージに上げられて、ホラ貝(のようなもの?)を吹くコンテストがあったり、ダンサーと一緒に踊ったり、盛りだくさんです。
フラダンスは様々なパターンのダンスを見せてくれます。
英語のMCで説明していたようですが、早口でよくわからず、、、
それでも十分楽しめました。

It seems that the phases of the moon and the tides are related. Rather than a sandbar, it was a beautiful sea that came up to my waist. The water was very clear, and I encountered many sea turtles on the way to the sandbar.
At first, when I entered the water, I thought, "It's cold!" but I got used to it after a while. Also, for all the smokers out there! Smoking is prohibited on the boat, but you can smoke in the water! I think having a smoke while standing in the waist-deep water is exceptional, so I recommend bringing your cigarettes!
As for snorkeling, the mask was covered in fine scratches and didn't have anti-fog treatment, so it fogged up quickly after just 2-3 minutes. Additionally, since we were swimming in a group next to the coral, the water became murky and it was hard to see, causing the fish to flee. There were many people who weren't used to it, so it inevitably became a bit crowded.
Participation in snorkeling seems to be optional, so it might be more meaningful to play around the boat. If you're mainly looking to snorkel and seeking the sandbar mentioned in guidebooks, I wouldn't particularly recommend it.
The staff from the tour company were cheerful, friendly, and kind, which was very nice. The sandwiches for lunch were also delicious.
月の満ち欠けと、潮の満ち引きが関係しているらしく
サンドバーっていうよりかは腰までくる綺麗な海でした
透明度が高くて、サンドバーに付くまでの間にウミガメにもたくさん会えました
最初、海に入ったときは「冷たい!」と思いますが、入っているうちに慣れていく感じ
あとは愛煙家の皆さん!!
船の中では禁煙ですが、海の中では喫煙できますよ!!
腰の高さまである海の中での一服は格別だと思われますので、愛煙家の皆さんはお煙草持って行くのをオススメします!!
シュノーケルは、マスクが細かい傷だらけなのと、曇り止めをしていないので2~3分付けていたらすぐ曇ってしまいます
あと、やはり団体で珊瑚の横を泳ぐので、水が濁って見えづらくなる&魚が逃げます
慣れてない人もたくさんいらっしゃるので、どうしても芋洗い状態になってしまうのだと思います
シュノーケルの参加は自由みたいなので、船のまわりでシャパシャパ遊んでる方が有意義かもしれません
シュノーケルをメインに考えている&ガイドブックに載ってるサンドバーを求めている方には、あまりオススメはしません
催行会社の方々は、陽気で気さく、優しい方が多いのでそこはとても良かったです

By chance, all the tour participants were Japanese, so we had a guide in Japanese. During the drive from Waikiki to Manoa, we had a great time with bright self-introductions and learning about popular local shops in Hawaii.
Due to my age, I was worried about not being able to keep up with the others, but the guide made sure to stop at key points and kept the pace slow, which I really appreciated.
The explanations about the plants were detailed and interesting. If I had been hiking alone, I think I would have missed noticing the fruits high up in the trees and the differences between invasive and native plants.
The waterfall at the destination was magnificent. Although there were people who entered the water despite the restrictions due to infection risks, I understand their feelings (laughs).
I'm really glad I had such a fun time. Thank you, guides Toshi and Yuna!
偶然、ツアー参加者が全員日本人でしたので、日本語でガイドしてもらいました。
ワイキキからマノアに向かう車の中から、明るく自己紹介をしてもらったり、ハワイの現地の人たちに人気のお店を教えてもらったりと、楽しく過ごせました。
私は年齢もあって早く歩けないので、周りの方々の足を引っ張らないか不安でしたが、ガイドさんが要所要所立ち止まって、ペースをゆっくりに保ってもらえました。本当にありがたかったです。
植物の説明も詳しくて面白かったです。個人で登っていたら、高い木の上に果物が生っていることや、外来種と原産種の植物の違いに、気付かないで通り過ぎていたと思います。
ゴール地点の滝は見事なものでした。感染症の危険があるので入水制限されているのに滝壺に入ってしまっている人たちがいましたが、気持ちはわかります(笑)。

The clear sea sparkled beautifully under the bright sun, and the sandbar was lovely. Personally, I think it's worth experiencing at least once. For us, the short course was sufficient. It would have been even better if we could meet on-site. The bus was cold, and it can get chilly if the weather changes, so I recommend bringing a hoodie or something to wear. It might be better to enjoy it with a small group charter.
よく晴れていたので澄んだ海がキラキラ光ってサンドバーは綺麗でした。個人的にいけないので1度は体験しても良いかと思います。我々としてはショートコースで十分でした。現地集合できればもっと良かったですが。バスの中が寒かったり、天候が変わると寒いのでフーディなど羽織りものを持って行ったほうがいいと思います。

There were a total of 12 participants, including the two of us, and with the two guides, the total was 14 people. It was quite a large group.
During the drive, our guides, Yuna and Toshi, shared recommendations for restaurants and sweets, as well as some fun facts about Hawaii, which made the trip very enjoyable.
After arriving at the parking lot and using the restroom at the shop, we received water and ponchos. I had prepared my own water and poncho since they weren't mentioned in the tour details, but they turned out to be unnecessary.
After a group photo at the entrance, Toshi explained the precautions, and we started the trail. As we progressed, we received explanations about the plants along the course, making it more enjoyable than just trekking.
Also, during the trek, there were photo opportunities where they would take pictures for us, which made for great memories. We reached the waterfall in about 40 minutes, but the return trip was a bit slippery, so caution is advised.
On the way back, we also received explanations about the plants and had photos taken. Fortunately, it didn't rain that day, so our shoes and clothes didn't get too dirty, but some participants had muddy pant hems, so those who are concerned might want to bring a change of clothes.
For lunch, since the restaurant was crowded, we ate in the park. (If the restaurant is not busy, it seems you can eat inside.) The bento had a variety of small side dishes, which was nice. The colors were vibrant and visually appealing. The taste was, of course, good.
After eating and taking a short break, we were taken back to our hotel, and the tour concluded. The pace was adjusted to accommodate the slower participants, so I felt it was relatively easy for anyone to join. While Hawaii is often associated with the ocean, trekking in the mountains is also great!
当日の参加者は私たち二人を含め合計12名、ガイドさん2人の総勢14名です。なかなかの大所帯。
向かう車の中では、ガイドのユナさんとトシさんがお勧めの飲食店やスイーツなどを教えてくださったり、ハワイのプチ情報を教えてくださってとても楽しかったです。
駐車場に着き、売店でトイレを済ませませた後、お水やポンチョなどを頂きました。ツアー詳細にお水、ポンチョの記載がなかったので自分で用意していましたが、必要ありませんでした。
入口で参加者全員で記念撮影のあと、ガイドのトシさんから注意事項の説明があり、トレイルスタートです。
コース途中に生えている植物の説明を受けながら進むので、単純にトレッキングするよりも愉しかったです。
またトレッキング途中も、撮影ポイントが来ると写真を撮って下さるので良い記念になりますよ。
滝までは40分くらいで到着、行よりも帰りのほうが滑りやすいのでちょっと注意が必要かもしれません。
帰りも行きと同様に植物の説明を受けたり、写真を撮っていただきながら帰りました。
当日、雨が降らなかったこともあり、私たちはそんなに靴や服が汚れることはありませんでしたが、中にはズボンの裾がドロドロになっている方もいらっしゃったので、気にされる方は着替えをお持ちになると良いと思います。
ランチですが、お店が混んでいたので、公園で頂きました。(お店が空いていれば店内で戴けるそうです)
お弁当はちょっとずつ色んなおかずが入っているのが良いですね。色も鮮やかで見た目にも楽しめます。お味はもちろん良かったですよ。
食事をして、ちょっと休憩したのち、ピックアップしたホテルに送って下さりツアー終了しました。
遅い方にペースを合わせて進むので、比較的どんな方でも参加されやすいと感じました。ハワイといえば海のイメージですが、山でトレイルするのも良いですよ~!
Thank you for your feedback on the tour. I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed the nature and mountains of Hawaii. Please come back and visit us again!

We arrived around 11 AM, just in time for low tide. Although the water level was up to my knees, the clear surface of the sea was truly beautiful. After a light session of beach volleyball and snorkeling instruction, lunch time came quickly. The hamburger looked light, accompanied by a side of beans flavored with barbecue sauce, but the beef patty was thick and satisfying. Aside from the paid beer, drinks like coffee, tea, cocoa, green tea, and juices were all-you-can-drink.
During that time, we arrived at the snorkeling spot by the coral reef and quickly jumped into the sea… I enjoyed the colorful fish swaying with the waves. A few people seemed to have been stung by jellyfish, but they received immediate care. It seems that if you're lucky, you might encounter a honu (sea turtle), but we missed the timing this time.
After snorkeling, the boat moved to the honu's swimming route, and we were able to see about ten honu swimming around the boat. The honu only come close to the surface when they need to breathe, so even if you spot them, they quickly dive back down.
The tour ended here, but our Japanese tour guide was a cheerful and lively woman, which was great. Despite some waves and wind left over from the hurricane, it was a memorable experience. I would like to go again, and next time, I want to aim for a day with a stronger low tide.
当日の干潮11時のところ11時頃の到着。
膝くらいまで水位はあったものの透き通った海面はほんとに綺麗でした。
軽くビーチバレーやシュノーケリング指導のあとあっという間にランチタイム。
ハンバーガー1個とサイドにバーベキューソース味の煮豆という見た目軽そうなのですが、ビーフパテが厚く食べごたえあります。
飲み物も有料のビール以外、コーヒー・紅茶・ココア・緑茶・ジュース類が飲み放題です。
その間に珊瑚礁のシュノーケリングスポットに到着し早速海へ…
色とりどりの魚を波に揺られ堪能しました。
ただ数名がくらげに刺されたようですが、直ぐに手当をしてくれていました。
運が良いとホヌに遭遇できるらしいのですが、今回はタイミングがあいませんでした。
シュノーケリングタイムが終わるとホヌの遊泳経路?へ船は移動し船の左右前後で10頭くらいの遊泳してるホヌを見ることができました。
ホヌは息継ぎの時だけ海面近くに上がるので、見つけても直ぐに潜ってしまいます。
これでツアーは終わりですが、日本人のツアーガイドさんは陽気でキビキビした女性でよいかたでした。
ハリケーンの去った影響でやや波風があったものの思い出に残る体験でした。
また、行きたいと思います。そのときは今回よりも潮が強く引く日を狙いたいと思います。

Rock and hula. I couldn't imagine what kind of show it would be as I checked in. I was guided to a tent next to the reception where they offered a welcome drink, and I was asked if I wanted a Mai Tai cocktail or a non-alcoholic version. During and before the meal, dancers from the main show entertained us with singing and dancing. The food was delicious, and the whole roasted pig was exquisite. You can order drink refills from your seat and pay on the spot. The show itself was of high quality, allowing you to enjoy hula, rock, Polynesian, and pop music. I think it's a show you definitely should see.
ロックとフラ。どんなショーになるのか想像もつかないまま受付。
受付横のテントに案内されてウェルカムドリンクのマイタイはカクテルとノンアルコールを聞いてくれる。食事の前や食事中も、本編に出演しているダンサーが歌や躍りで盛り上げてくれる。食事も美味しく、豚の丸焼きは絶品でした。ドリンクのおかわりは座席で注文し、その場で支払いです。
ショーも完成度が高く、フラ、ロック、ポリネシアン、ポップスすべて堪能できます。是非見てほしいショーだと思います。
Thank you very much for visiting us. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed your time here. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you back when you come to Hawaii again.
この度はご来場頂きまして、誠に有難うございます。楽しめて頂けたご様子で、私共も大変嬉しく思っております。またハワイにお越しの際には、ご来場頂けますよう、スタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げます。

I was satisfied with the cruise.
However, it was disappointing that there was no place to change.
The girls changed outside and seemed anxious about being seen.
The boys didn't mind and just got on the bus as they were. It was too cold because the air conditioning was too strong.
クルーズも出来て満足でした。
ただ、残念なのは着替え場所がない事。
女子は外で着替えましたが、、見られてるかどうかと不安そうでした、、。
男子は気にしないのでそのままバスに乗り込み。冷房が効きすぎで、寒かったです、、

I participated on August 23 when a typhoon was approaching Oahu. I woke up several times during the night, thinking I might receive an email saying the event would be canceled. However, it was confirmed that the event would go ahead, and I decided to participate, knowing that if I canceled on the day, the nearly 90,000 yen for seven people would not be refunded.
Since the sun wasn't out, the sea wasn't beautiful, and both the water and air temperatures were low, everyone was feeling cold. I also participated in snorkeling, but due to the typhoon's effects, I felt scared as I was almost swept away.
After returning, I contacted a company that specializes in sandbar cruises, and they informed me that the Public Safety Bureau had issued a warning, stating that boats should not go out. They mentioned that other companies likely weren't operating either. They said that just rain wouldn't lead to cancellations, but since a hurricane was approaching, that was the reason for the cancellation. I wonder if it was really a good decision to go ahead with the event.
Given the circumstances, I'm relieved that nothing happened. By the way, I heard that those who canceled on the day received a full refund. I regret participating just to avoid losing the 90,000 yen.
オアフに台風が近づいている8月23日に参加しました。中止に当然なるのではとメールが来るかもしれないと何度も夜中に目が覚めました。しかしながら催行するとのこと、7人分の9万近いお金が当日こちらがキャンセルすれば返ってこないと参加しました。
太陽が出ていないので海も綺麗でなく、水温も気温も低くて皆さん寒がっていました。シュノーケリングにも参加しましたが、台風の影響で流されそうになり怖い思いをしました。
帰ってからサンドバー専門のクルーザーの会社に問い合わせたところ、公安局から危険と指示があったので船は出てはいけないということで他の催行会社も全て出ていないだろう、ただの雨ではキャンセルにならないけどハリケーンが近づいていたからいう回答を得ました。催行して良かったのでしょうか。
そんな中でしたので何事もなくてよかったと思います。ちなみに当日キャンセルの方には全額返金したそうです。9万を惜しんで参加しなければ良かったです。

Heavenly Ocean was amazing! It was my first time participating on my 10th trip to Hawaii! I always thought about going, but I hesitated because it seemed boring if the sandbar wasn't out. Finally, I decided to give it a try! I wish I had gone from the start! In the end, the sandbar wasn't out, but the ocean was incredibly beautiful, something I had never seen before... it was wonderful.
To get to Heavenly Ocean, we drove about an hour from Waikiki along mountain roads. Since I tend to get motion sickness in cars and boats, I took some anti-nausea medication before going, so I was totally fine. After that, we boarded the boat to Heavenly Ocean... Within 30 minutes, we could see the sandbar, and there was clearly a different zone with a distinct color and feel to the water!
At Heavenly Ocean, there was about waist-deep water, possibly due to the hurricane that had come the day before, but it was incredibly beautiful and enjoyable! We practiced snorkeling, played beach volleyball, and had fun with a diverse group of people. Couples were taught how to take lovely photos, and they took many beautiful pictures. We were just so impressed by the stunning ocean!
I've been to various oceans before, but I truly felt that it lived up to its name, Heavenly Ocean! While we were playing, the crew grilled meat on a barbecue. I had some concerns about the quality of the meat since it was labeled BBQ, but what we got was a hamburger! We made our own sandwiches with the meat, cheese, and vegetables... there were also beans and chips, and it was delicious.
After that, we went to a spot where we could see turtles. It was very close by, and the sea turtles popped their heads up! Then, we went snorkeling around the coral reef!!! There were colorful fish all around the coral. I was able to see even more colorful fish than when I went diving in Hawaii, and since it was snorkeling, it was easy to participate, which was great!
The Japanese guide was very friendly and kind to everyone, which was really nice!
Actually, I had booked this tour on the day of the hurricane, and it was scheduled to go until the last minute, but at the last moment, it was canceled, and they helped me rebook. Since it's an American company, I guess there are cancellation fees and various things to consider? I think it's better to hold out until the last minute. I learned that the cancellation was due to the rough sea around the coral reef, which made it impossible to see anything! This means it might have been possible to go, so if there are cancellation fees, it might be worth waiting until the last minute. They said that if it was really impossible, they would contact me to cancel and refund my money.
In any case, I was very satisfied to have participated for the first time! I will definitely join again the next time I come to Hawaii!
天国の海最高でした!10回目のハワイ旅行にして初参加でした!
いつも行ってみたいと思いながら、サンドバーが出てないとつまらなそうと、やめていたけど、ついに行ってみることにしました!
最初から行けば良かった!って思いました!
結果的にサンドバーは出てなかったけど、海が初めて見る綺麗さで、、、素晴らしかったです。
天国の海までは、ワイキキから車で1時間くらい山道を走りました。私は元々車や船に酔いやすいので、酔い止めを飲んで行きました。なので全然平気でした。その後、船に乗って天国の海へ、、、。
船は30分も乗らないうちにサンドバーが見えてきて、そこだけあきらかに色も海の感じも違うゾーンが現れました!
天国の海では、前日にハリケーンが来ていた影響もあったのか、腰くらいまで水がありましたが、めっちゃくちゃ綺麗で楽しめました!
次に待っているシュノーケルの練習をしたり、ビーチバレーをしたり、国際色豊かなメンバーで楽しんだり、カップルはステキな写真の撮り方を教えてもらって、綺麗な写真を沢山撮ってました。
私たちは綺麗な海にひたすら感激!
今まで色んな海に行って来ましたが、やはり天国の海というだけあると実感!
そして、天国の海で私たちが遊んでいる間にクルーがバーベキューグリルでお肉を焼いてくれました。
BBQと書いてあったので、お肉の美味しくないのだったらやだなぁなんて内心思ってたのですが、出来上がったのは、ハンバーガー!
自分でパンにお肉とチーズと野菜を挟んで、、、ビーンズとチップスもあって、美味しくいただきました。
その後は、亀が見えるスポットへ。すぐ近くにあって、ウミガメさんがひょこひょこ顔を出してくれました。
そして、サンゴ礁の周りをシュノーケリング !!!
サンゴ礁の周りに色とりどりの魚がいました。
ダイビングでハワイの海に潜った時よりも色とりどりの魚が沢山見ることができて、シュノーケルだったので、簡単に参加できて良かったです!
案内の日本人の方もすごくフレンドリーで誰に対しても優しく、とっても良かったです!
実は、このツアーハリケーンの日に予約していて、ギリギリまで催行予定だったのですが、ギリギリにNGが出て、予約を取り直してもらいました。アメリカの会社なので、キャンセル料とか色々あるんでしょうね?ギリギリまで粘った方がいいかと思います。NGになったのは、サンゴ礁のところが海が荒れて何も見えなくなったからとツアーに参加して教えてもらいました!ということは、出来なくもなかったということかと思いますので、キャンセル料がかかるときはギリギリまで粘っていいかと思います。本当に無理だとキャンセルの連絡が来て、お金も返金してくれるとのことでしたから。
いずれにしても、初参加出来て大満足です!
また、次回ハワイに来るときはまた参加させていただきます!

Despite the heavy rain and calm sea without wind, we proceeded with the tour as planned. We arrived at the sandbar! Although it was cold and we were shivering, we decided to get into the water, but we couldn't stay in for more than five minutes before getting back on the boat. We ended up eating sandwiches in the leaking cabin. Some people went snorkeling, but they said it was too murky to see anything. Well, that makes sense! It was pointless to even go in.
When we finally thought we could go home, the pickup bus didn't arrive, and we had to wait for an hour in an empty parking lot. It was cold, but at least it didn't rain while we were waiting for the bus, which was a small relief.
In summary, while bad weather might be a matter of luck, I thought it was terrible that the tour continued just for the sake of money despite the conditions. Also, the waiting time for the bus felt like pure torture.
If I go again, I hope it will be when there isn't a hurricane!
大雨の中風がなく海は穏やかなので〜と言うことでそのままツアーします
との事でサンドバーまで行き到着!
雨と寒さでブルブル震えるなかせっかくなので
海に入りましたが5分と入ってられず船にあがり、雨漏りする船内でサンドイッチを食べました。シュノーケリングに出かけた方もいましたが濁っていて何も見えないと
そりゃ〜そうでしょう‼︎ 入るだけ無駄ですよ
無事に戻りやっと帰れると思ったら
迎えのバスが来ない、何もない駐車場に1時間も待たされました
寒かったけどバスの待ちは雨が降らなかった事が救いでした
感想 天候が悪いのは運なのかもしれませんが こんな状態でお金のためだけにツアーを中止にせず行うのは酷いなぁと思いました
また、バスの待ち時間は地獄そのものでした
次回もし行くならハリケーンが来ていない時にしたいものです

Thank you very much for your help.
I was disappointed that the guest I was looking forward to wasn't there on the day, but the band that performed was very good, and the food and atmosphere were excellent.
If I have the opportunity to go to Hawaii again, I would definitely like to use your services.
大変お世話になりました。
当日、目当てのゲストではなかったので残念でしたが、当日のバンドの方達もとてもよく、お料理、雰囲気とても良かったです。
