This time, my mother and I participated in the experience tour, while my husband and sister's family joined the buggy tour. We all participated in the garden tour and the movie village tour. Each of them was incredibly fun, thanks to the guide who really energized the experience. My mother, in her 70s and on her first overseas trip, usually quiet, even asked the guide questions on her own. We were very satisfied with all the tours.
今回は母と私がエクスペリエンスツアーで、主人や姉親子はバギーツアーに参加しました。全員で参加したのはガーデンツアーや映画村ツアー。どれもこれもガイドさんがめちゃくちゃ盛り上げて下さり本当に楽しかったです。70代の母も初めての海外旅行で、しかも普段は無口なのに自分からガイドさんに質問したりして。どのツアーも大満足でした。

I love Hawaii and its people, so I don't want to write anything negative, but it was just too terrible...
- We gathered early in the morning at the Sheraton meeting point. However, even when it was time to gather, there was no sign of the guide or bus. After waiting for nearly 20 minutes, and seeing that others with the same voucher were also anxious, I called the number on the voucher. The response was normal (in English), and the bus arrived shortly after.
- The person who came out was a dark-skinned man (somewhat homeless-looking). He didn't say a word about the delay and led us into the vehicle without any friendliness.
- Well, we tried to shake it off and after a few minutes on the bus, we arrived at the port. I was excited, but there was no sign of any boat arriving. The guide didn't even say "just wait a moment," and was off to the side smoking a cigarette. He really didn't say anything at all.
- After waiting another 20 minutes, two boats finally arrived, and I thought we could finally board! However, the preparations were slow. Just when I thought we were ready to board, they said, "Americans, Canadians, and Australians, please go to this boat!" and we were directed to board first. After that, a few groups of Japanese people were called to the same boat. Once they all boarded, they said, "The remaining Japanese, come over here!" (in a joking manner, all in English) and directed us to a different boat. While I didn't feel much difference in the facilities or crowding on the boats, I experienced a sense of racial discrimination for the first time in Hawaii. After being made to wait for so long, to receive that kind of treatment without even an apology was quite unpleasant. It wasn't that one boat was entirely in English and they separated people based on language ability; both were guided in Japanese.
- The subsequent service was fairly normal and somewhat friendly, and the experience in the beautiful sea was enjoyable.
- However, considering the poor service, I cannot recommend this place. I think it would be better to choose another tour company if there is one available.
- Also, according to Hawaii state law, life jackets are mandatory, and everyone was wearing them on the dolphin tour the day before, but on this tour, they said, "If you're confident, it's okay not to wear one!" Is safety management okay?
- That's all. I often use Veltra, but the operators they recommend are honestly really bad.
ハワイとハワイの人達は好きなのでなるべく悪いことは書きたくないものの、あまりにも酷かったので。。
・シェラトンの集合場所に朝早く集合。しかし、集合時間になってもそれらしいガイド&バスは全然現れず。。20分近く待って、同じバウチャーを持ってる他の人たちも不安そうだったので、バウチャーの電話番号に電話。対応は普通(英語)で、すぐバスが現れました。
・出てきたのは黒く焼けたおじさん(やや浮浪者風)。遅れたことに対して一言もなく、無愛想に車内に案内される。
・まあ、気を取り直してバスで数十分。港に到着。いよいよかーと思って待ってたものの、それらしき船が到着する雰囲気無し。ガイドのおっさんは、「ちょっとまっててね」すら言わず、はじっこでタバコ吸ってる。本当に何も話さない。
・また20分ほど待つと、船が2隻到着し、やっと乗れるー!と思ったものの、準備はモタモタ。乗船準備が整ったと思ったら、「アメリカ人、カナダ人
オーストラリア人はこっちの船へどうぞ!」と、先に誘導された。その後で、名前を呼ばれた日本人数組が同じ船に。
そして、その人達が全員乗船し終わったら、「残りの日本人はみんなこっちだー!」(おどけ気味、全部英語)と案内され、別の船に。
船の設備や、混み具合で差があった感じはしなかったけれども、人種差別的な雰囲気をハワイで初めて感じとりました。かなり待たされたのに、お待たせしましたもなく、その対応かよ!とかなり不快に感じました。別に片方の船が全部英語だから、話せる人と話せない人で分けた、とかでもなく、どちらも日本語でガイドしてました。
・その後の対応は別に普通、そこそこフレンドリーな感じではあったし、天国の海自体は楽しかった。
・だけど、対応の悪さを考えると、ここはオススメしません。別のツアー会社があるならそちらの方がいいと思います。
・あと、ハワイの州法で、ライフジャケットが義務付けられてると前日のイルカツアーで言ってて、そのツアーでは皆しっかりつけてたけど、このツアーでは「自信ある人は無くても大丈夫!」と言ってました。安全管理平気なの?
・以上です。ベルトラさんはよく利用させてもらってるけど、斡旋先の業者ははっきりいって本当にダメです。

I have lived in Hawaii since 1985. My niece from Indiana visited for a week. I took her on the Star of Honolulu Sunset Dinner Cruise, having never been on it myself. I didn't know what to expect. It was awesome! We both loved it. The pre-boarding hula & Hawaiian music, the on-board entertainment, the food, the views and the friendly staff were all very enjoyable. When other friends and family come to visit, I will be sure to take them. It was the highlight of my niece's visit!

The water temperature was a bit low and it was cold. I thought I would be able to swim with the sea turtles during the sea turtle watching, but we could only see them from the boat. It seems we can't touch the sea turtles. But they were cute! We also saw manta rays! There were many Japanese people, and it was quite crowded during snorkeling, making it difficult to swim as other people's feet kept bumping into me. The fish were very beautiful. Since it was an early morning plan, we were in a hurry, but I think the timing was just right as staying too long would have been tiring. There were many couples and some families as well. It became a great memory!
水温が少し低くて寒かったです。ウミガメウォッチということでウミガメと一緒に泳げるかと思ったら船の上から見るだけでした。ウミガメには触れないらしいです。でも可愛かったです♪マンタにも会えました!日本人が多くシュノーケリングでは他の人の足が当たるくらい密集してて泳ぎにくかったです。魚はとてもキレイでした。早朝プランなので急ぎ足でしたがあまり長くいると疲れるのでちょうどの時間だと思いました。カップルが多く、家族連れの方もいました。良い思い出になりました!

I participated in the early morning tour. The weather was nice, and the sandbar was very beautiful, which made it enjoyable. When walking from the boat to the sandbar, I was submerged in water up to my waist. The water was cold, so it took some determination to get in, but once I got used to it, it was fine. There was a little time for snorkeling, and although it was my first time and I didn't quite know what I was doing, I managed. However, the time was short, and it might have been better just to observe.
早朝ツアーに参加しました。
天気も良くサンドバーがとてもきれいで楽しめました。
船からサンドバーまで歩く際お尻くらいまで水に浸かりました。水は冷たく入るのに気合がいりますが、慣れれば平気です。
シュノーケリングの時間も少しあり参加しましたが、はじめてで要領がよくわからなくともなんとかなりました。でも時間は短かったし見学でもよかったかも。

This was a tour I hurriedly booked at the last minute, knowing that it was something I couldn't do on my own. I wasn't sure whether to choose the morning or afternoon option, but I went with the afternoon tour, which included various activities.
After getting on the pickup bus from the hotel and arriving at the port, I saw two boats returning from the morning tour, both completely full! At that moment, I realized that this tour should be done in the morning. Unfortunately, it was a cloudy day. I comforted myself by thinking that it wouldn't have made a difference if we had gone in the morning. There was only one boat for the afternoon tour.
First, we headed to the sandbar. While it was indeed shallow, the sandy beach shown in the photos was nowhere to be seen. I learned that this beach appears twice a day due to the tides, but it doesn't mean it's visible all the time. The guide mentioned it appears during a full moon, and when I asked when that was, I found out it was today! I regretted not booking the morning tour... At around 10 AM, the tide was low, and the beach was visible. By the time we arrived, it was already past noon, and unfortunately, the water was only knee-deep at its shallowest.
To lift our spirits, the crew invited us to play beach volleyball. While we played for about 40 minutes, they were grilling hamburgers on the boat, which they called a barbecue. However, this turned out to be a mistake. We should have quickly returned to the boat to grab our hamburgers. By the time we got back, there was already a long line. Since the toppings were self-serve, it took a lot of time. The boat was already moving to the next snorkeling spot.
While others were finishing their meals, it took us over 30 minutes to finally get our food. I thought there would be enough for everyone, but to my dismay, there were no toppings left (crying). When I asked the Japanese guide, "Is there really none left?" he simply replied, "No, there isn't." Looking sad, the man grilling the hamburgers gave me another patty! However, just as I finally started eating, we arrived at the next snorkeling spot.
On the way, we passed a spot where sea turtles were supposed to be, but since we were waiting for our hamburgers, we couldn't see anything...
The snorkeling time was relatively ample, and we enjoyed it. However, there were too many people... We were warned not to go anywhere else and just circle around the large coral.
At the end, there was a request for tips, but I didn't feel inclined to give anything to the Japanese guide. Instead, I gave a tip to another staff member who had been very helpful. As we were returning from snorkeling, the sun occasionally peeked through the clouds, and the weather improved, making it enjoyable.
While I would like to go on this sandbar tour again, I think I would choose a morning tour with snacks or join a different company's tour. I was quite fed up with waiting for the so-called lunch of hamburgers. There was no place to sit, so we had to eat standing up. I definitely recommend sitting outside with the captain, as there is space for bags there, but nowhere else. Also, the Japanese guests were gathered by the captain for a talk, and we had to enter and exit the boat with him.
You definitely shouldn't sit at the back of the boat. It looks like a good spot, but many people go to the captain's seat to take photos (only the Japanese were doing this...), and they use the seating area as a stepping stone, which makes everything muddy.
It's a fun tour, but I wonder if cramming everyone in without any seating is really the best approach. If that's the case, a tour without any food might have been more relaxing (the floor gets muddy with food scraps... haha).
これだけは個人で行けないことを知って出発ぎりぎりになって慌てて申し込んだツアー。
朝便と昼便どっちを選べばよいのか?とよくわからないまま、色々ついてる昼便にしました。
ホテルからのピックアップバスに乗って港へ着くと、ちょうど朝便で2隻お船が帰ってきました。
2隻満タン!やはりこのツアーは朝に行くべきなんだとそのとき悟りました。
この日はあいにく曇り。なので朝行っても同じだよね~と自分たちを慰めて出発。昼便のお船は1隻のみです。
まずはサンドバーへ。確かに遠浅ですが写真にあるような砂浜は見えません。
潮の満ち引きによって現れるといわれるこの砂浜は1日に2回あるそうなのですが、いつでも見れるというわけではないようです。
満月のとき、とガイドさんに言われ、では満月っていつなんですか~?と聞くとなんと今日!え~朝便に申し込めばよかったと後悔・・・
このときは朝10時がちょうど引き潮で砂浜が見えていたのだそうです。
私たちが行ったときは既に正午過ぎ・・残念ながらもっとも浅くてひざ下でした。
気分を盛り上げようと船員さんたちがビーチバレーに誘ってくれます。ここで40分くらい遊んでる間に船ではバーベキューと称するハンバーガーを焼いてくれます。
しかしこれが曲者。遊んでないでさっさと船にあがってハンバーガーを受け取るべきでした。
号令がかかってから船に戻ると既に長蛇の列。中に挟む具はセルフで取るのでと~~っても時間がかかるのです。すでに船は次のシュノーケルスポットに向けて移動中。
どんどん人が食べ終わっているのにありつけるまでに30分以上かかりました。
全員分は用意されてるよね、とのんびり構えていたら、なんと具がありませんでした(泣)
日本人ガイドさんに「もうないんですか?」と聞くと、「はい、ありません」とだけ。
悲しい顔をしているとハンバーガーの肉を焼いているおじさんがもう一切れくれました~♪
しかし、ようやく食べ始めたら船は次のシュノーケルスポットに到着。
この間に、ウミガメのいるスポットを通っていきます。でもハンバーガー待ちで並んでいるので全然見えず・・・・
シュノーケルはわりとたっぷり時間があって堪能できました。でも人が多すぎて・・・大きなサンゴの周りを1周するだけで他のところには行かないよう注意されます。
最後にちゃっかりチップの要求はありましたが、とてもこの日本人ガイドさんに渡す気にはなれませんでした。なので他のよくしてくれたスタッフの方にお渡ししました♪
シュノーケルの時間から帰りがけになると時折陽が差して天気が良くなり楽しめました。
もう一度このサンドバーのツアーに行きたいとは思いますが、やはり午前のスナックつきのツアーにするか、他社さんのツアーに参加すると思います。
それくらい、昼食と称するハンバーガー待ちにはうんざりでした。
座る場所もなく立ち食いなので、席は絶対に船頭の屋外をお勧めします。そこなら荷物を入れる場所がありますが、それ以外はありません。そして日本人は船頭に集められて話をされますし船から海への出入りも船頭となります。
間違っても座ってはいけないのは船尾。一見良さそうですがいろんな人が船長席に行って写真を取るので(そんなことをしているのは日本人だけでしたが・・・)座る場所を踏み台にして登るので荷物も座るところもドロドロにされちゃいます。
楽しいツアーではありますが、座る場所もないくらい詰め込むのはどうかな~と思いました。だとしたら何も食べ物がないツアーの方が気が楽だったかも(足元は食べかすなどでドロドロになるんです・・・笑)

Love, love, loved the dinner cruise. This was our first time in Hawaii and I must say I am happy that we chose this as one of the activities to attend to. From the very beginning when we got picked up from the hotel, welcoming at the cruise ship, dinner, entertainment and fireworks, this is definitely a night that will be forever cherished. The staff was amazingly helpful and attentive especially our table server Rosey, she constantly made sure we had enough crab (purchased steak and all you can eat crab meal) and glasses were filled with drinks. Just AWESOME!!! The music and performers were great as well. At the end of the night we watched fireworks out on the deck. Overall my husband and I had a most memorable evening and recommend if you have not already done so this is one of the a Hawaii activities you don't want to miss!!!

It was an afternoon in May, but it was really cold. It was so cold that my lips turned purple. I could only do a little snorkeling because I couldn't stand the cold. A cover-up is a must.
The sea was certainly beautiful, but it wasn't breathtaking. Maybe I had too high expectations...
Lunch included a hamburger, but it was difficult to eat on the boat because of the strong wind... Snacks flew away. I was glad there wasn't a full lunch.
I did see sea turtles and manta rays, which was somewhat enjoyable, but I feel it wasn't worth the price.
5月の午後でしたが、とにかく寒い。唇が紫になるほど寒いです。寒さに耐えられずシュノーケリングは少ししかできませんでした。羽織るもの必須です。
確かに海は綺麗ですが、感激するほどではありませんでした。期待しすぎたのかなぁ…。
ハンバーガーのランチ付きでしたが、船の上は風が強くて食べにくいのなんの…スナックとか吹っ飛びました。ランチはなくてよかったと思います。
ウミガメもマンタも見れてそれなりに楽しかったのですが、値段の価値はない気がします。

It was drizzling and cold. The sandbar had seawater up to my ankles due to the tides, which was different from what I had imagined. However, the staff were lively and seemed to be having fun playing beach volleyball. The hamburgers grilled by the captain were delicious. The live singing with the guitar was wonderful as well. If only the weather had been better, it would have been perfect. But I was able to see a waterfall that is rarely seen.

I'm satisfied with the landing at Sandbar, but the snorkeling involves swimming in a line over a short distance, which is quite awkward. It felt like being packed in like sardines. However, I think it's fine for those who are new to snorkeling.
サンドバー上陸までは満足ですが、シュノーケルは短い距離を行列で泳ぐのでかなり微妙です。

In late May, I participated in a girls' trip. The staff were cheerful, and I was able to enjoy playing beach volleyball with the other participants I met for the first time. The sandbar was very beautiful and soothing, but the sea breeze was cold!! I think it depends on the season, but it was tough to stay in wet clothes, so I think it would be good to have a place to change (there isn't a designated changing area, so I quickly changed in the restroom…).

We participated as a family of three.
My husband had his first horseback riding experience, and my 8-year-old son rode alone for the first time.
Honestly, I thought my husband would have a nonchalant reaction like, "Well, it's for the kid's experience..."
We were even discussing going to the zoo the day before, but there were plenty of animals here (^u^).
None of the staff spoke Japanese.
They gave simple explanations and chatted, and just when we were getting ready, a wild horse appeared!!!
It was nerve-wracking to think, "Who will ride it?!" but of course, the staff member rode it (phew!).
Everyone took turns mounting the horse for photos! We got some really wonderful and cool pictures!
For a while after we set off, the photographer walked ahead to take pictures for us.
We climbed the red dirt mountains unique to Hawaii, enjoying the flowers, trees, and birds, and arrived at an amazing scenic spot!!!
In the refreshing breeze, we saw vast grasslands and the ocean.
It was the best!
On the way down, we pointed out the areas with good views, indicating quite a bit higher up the mountain.
I was worried about my 8-year-old, but since the horse was well-trained, there were no issues.
At one point, the horse seemed like it was going to run, and I panicked and stopped it, but my son actually wanted it to run...
My husband, who I was also worried about, said, "I underestimated horseback riding! It was amazing! I want to do it again!" sounding like a kid.
On the way back, we could stop by North and stroll around,
and we will definitely go to Gunstock Ranch again!
I absolutely recommend it!
家族3人で参加しました。
旦那=初乗馬、息子8歳=初一人乗り。
正直、旦那の「まあまあ、子供の経験の為にね・・・」的などうでもよかったみたいな感想が来るかと思ってました。
前日の動物園でも行こうか?なんて話してたんですが、
ここで十分な位いろんな動物がいました(^u^)
スタッフは全員日本語話せません。
簡単に説明やら雑談やらして、そろそろって時に荒馬登場!!!
「誰が乗るか?!」とドキドキでしたが、勿論スタッフさんが乗りました(ホッ!)
皆、順番で馬にまたがり写真撮影! すご~く素敵でかっこいい写真がとれました!
出発して暫くはカメラマンも徒歩で先回りして取ってくれました。
ハワイ特有の赤土の山を、花や木や鳥を見ながら登って行き、すごい風景の場所に到着!!!
気持ちいい風の中、広がる草原、海。
最高でした!
下る途中に、景色の良かった場所はあそこら辺だって、結構山の上の方を指してました。
心配していた8歳も、しつけられた馬だったので問題なし。
途中馬が走りそうになりビビって止めたんですが、本人は走って欲しかったって・・・
こちらも心配していた旦那ですが、「乗馬舐めてた!最高だった!またやりたい!」

帰りにノースに寄ってブラブラと出来るし、
次もガンストックランチ行きます!

【Sandbar】
The weather was a bit cloudy and initially cold, but since it was my first time at the ocean after arriving in Hawaii, the sea was beautiful, and I was impressed by the pure white coral.
I did some light snorkeling.
There was plenty of time to take photos.
Those who were energetic played volleyball together.
There was a group that happened to come on a private boat, and their dog was so cute, making for a very happy time.
【BBQ】
It wasn't a BBQ, but the staff grilled hamburgers on the spot, and I had a hamburger. Eating a hamburger over the beautiful sea was exceptional.
You can enjoy plenty of drinks, snacks, and fruits, so I was very satisfied.
【Turtle Watching】
This was the best part.
I saw turtles while snorkeling, but I was allowed to enter the water without a life jacket.
You can see the turtles while floating, but by diving, I was able to get really close!
It was quite moving.
I took several shots with a waterproof camera.
For those going, definitely prepare an underwater camera!!
【サンドバー】
天気は少し雲があり、初めは寒かったですが、ハワイに着いて初の海というのもあり、海はきれいで、真っ白なサンゴには感動しました。
シュノーケリングを軽くしました。
写真を撮る時間も十分にありました。
元気の良い方はみんなでバレーボールをしていました。
たまたまプライベートボートで来ていた団体の犬が可愛すぎてとても幸せな時間でした。
【BBQ】
BBQではなかったですが、スタッフがハンバーグをその場で焼いてくれて、ハンバーガーを食べました。景色の良い海の上で食べるハンバーガーは格別ですよ。
ドリンクも、お菓子も、フルーツもたくさん食べれますのでとても満足できます。
【ウミガメウォッチ】
これが一番良かったです。
シュノーケリングでカメを見るのですが、私はライフジャケットを着ずに海に入らせてもらいました。
浮いた状態でもウミガメを見ることができますが、もぐることで急接近することができました!
かなりの感動です。
水中カメラで何枚もツーショットを撮りました。

I got hooked on horseback riding at Kualoa Ranch and was looking for other places to ride when I found Gunstock Ranch. I took The Bus, but there was no name at the bus stop. It was a bit of a gamble. No Japanese is spoken at the ranch. However, everyone was very friendly and responded with smiles, which was really nice!! I had a wonderful time riding through areas that made me think, "Are we really going here?!" It was a forest-like setting, and I enjoyed leisurely riding while watching cows and other horses.

The Angel Sea was deeper than I expected, with the water level reaching from my waist to just below my chest, but it was such a beautiful sea that I could see the seabed clearly. I saw many sea turtles, and snorkeling was also a lot of fun. It was a fulfilling tour, and I'm glad I participated.
天使の海は思ったより深く、腰の上~胸下くらいまでの水位でしたが、海底が透き通ってみえるほどきれいな海でした。ウミガメもたくさん見られたし、シュノーケルも楽しかったです。充実したツアーで、参加して良かったと思います。

I went on a company trip.
If you're going to Hawaii, I definitely recommend it.
There were Japanese staff members, so I had a great time.
I was able to watch turtles, and I plan to visit again the next time I go to Hawaii.
社員旅行で行きました。
ハワイに行くなら、絶対おすすめです。
日本人のスタッフの方がいらっしゃったので、楽しい時間を過ごせました。
カメもウオッチできましたし、また、ハワイに行く際は、伺おうと思います。

After swimming with the dolphins at Sea Life Park, we simply walked back through the park to the Luau (very convenient). We were greeted warmly with a shell necklace and photo op with the Chief, and then got to enjoy some games (spear tossing, a Polynesian version of musical chairs (except with sticks), braiding palm leaves to make head-bands, and hula dancing). There were also some tables with native-made goods for sale. Then the Chief led the unveiling ceremony of the roasted pig (he is very entertaining and funny), got our non-alcoholic drinks and food (which was very tasty, especially the pineapple cake!), and then enjoyed the show. The hula dancers were very talented, the fire dancers where great, and it was neat to see all the different dance styles of the islands that were represented. It was our 2nd wedding anniversary, so we got to go up on stage with some other couples and they honored us with some pretty flowers! The only down-side was that the location is a little small, but other than that, we had a great time!

I'm glad it turned out to be solid ground.
I think it depends on timing and luck...
It was really beautiful!
I wish the weather had been better.
I want to go again! ♪
ちゃんと陸地になってくれててよかったです
タイミングと運によると思いますが。。。
すごく綺麗でした!
もっと天気が良かったら良かったな
また行きたいです♪

This was the worst dinner cruise I've ever experienced. It felt more like a fishing boat. It was rocky for families with children, and the dinner was terrible... I regret not choosing something like Five Star. Next time, I will join a cruise on a larger ship.
今までで、ディナークルーズとしては、最悪でした。釣りに行く船やないですか。子供連れには、揺れるし、ディナーは、まずいし...
ファイブスターとかに、したら良かったと、後悔しています。次回は、大きな船のクルーズに参加します。

I visited the sandbar for the first time. There were plenty of activities like sea turtles, photo opportunities at the sandbar, and snorkeling. Everything was incredibly fun. I highly recommend this tour.
初めてサンドバーに行きました。ウミガメ、サンドバーでの写真撮影、シュノーケルと盛りだくさんです。どれをとっても、凄く楽しかったです。オススメのツアーです。

I was amazed to find such a beautiful place on Earth!
I went to the sandbar, and it was a fun time snorkeling and eating hamburgers at the BBQ!
I'm going to Hawaii again in October for a wedding, and I want to go with all the guests!
地球にこんなキレイなところがあるのかと驚きました!

I heard from a knowledgeable acquaintance about this show being enjoyable, so I decided to sign up. To conclude, I was very satisfied with the content.
Since I participated in the Green Room Monitor Tour, I was initially guided to the Green Room, but I was not used to the VIP treatment and felt confused. I think it was meant to be a special hospitality setting, but I felt it wasn't necessary to pay for it.
The backstage tour was interesting, but it didn't exceed my expectations. The show was as expected, featuring performances by Elvis, Michael, and Gaga, as well as hula and fire shows, which I thoroughly enjoyed. However, I wish the quality of Gaga's performance had been a bit higher.
Regarding the meal, the portion size was appropriate, and I thought the taste was good. However, the chocolate cake for dessert was too sweet, and I didn't see anyone around me able to finish it. I think it might not suit Japanese tastes.
It became a wonderful memory for my last night in Hawaii. I would like to visit again if I have the opportunity. Lastly, thank you to all the backup dancers for your hard work. Keep it up!
ハワイ通の知人から、このショーが楽しいと聞いて申し込みしました。
結論からいえば、大変満足できる内容でした。
グリーンルームモニターツアーへの参加ということで、最初グリーンルームに案内されましたが、VIP待遇に慣れておらず、わけがわからず、戸惑いました。特別なもてなしという設定だと思いますが、料金を払ってまで必要はないかなと思います。
舞台裏見学はおもしろかったのですが、期待した以上の内容はありませんでした。
ショーは期待どおりで、プレスリー、マイケル、ガガのショーだけでなく、フラ、ファイアーショーもあり、大変楽しめました。
ただ、カガのクォリティーが、もう少し高ければと思います。
食事に関しては 量も適量で、味も良かったと思います。
ただ、デザートのチョコレートケーキが甘すぎ、周りの人で食べきれている人はいませんでした。日本人の口には合わないと思います
ハワイ最終日の夜の良い思い出になりました。機会があればまたお邪魔したいと思っています。
最後にバックダンサーのみなさんたいへんお疲れさまでした。がんばってください。
Thank you very much for visiting us. We are very pleased to receive your valuable feedback and warm words for our staff. We sincerely look forward to your visit again when you come to Hawaii.

I participated with my mother in her 70s.
We checked the low tide times in advance, so we were able to get onto solid ground.
However, we just walked around; we didn't have a picnic.
I think it was because it was a morning tour.
During snack time, we had sandwiches with ham and cheese on bread on the boat.
The nachos were blown away by the wind, which was quite a hassle.
As for snorkeling, we just floated while wearing life jackets and without fins.
I think it might be insufficient for experienced snorkelers, but it could be just right for beginners.
My mother waited on the boat.
We were able to see sea turtles from the boat, so she was satisfied.
70代の母と参加しました。
干潮の時刻を事前に調べていったので、しっかり陸地になっているところに上がれました。
でも、歩いただけです。ピクニックとかはしてません。
午前中のツアーだったからだと思います。
スナックタイムは、パンにハムチーズを挟んだだけのサンドイッチを船上で。
ナチョスが風に飛ばされて大変でした。
シュノーケリングも、ライフジャケットを来て、フィンも付けずに浮いていただけ。
経験者には物足りないと思います。が、初心者にはちょうどいいかも知れません。
母は船で待っていました。
ウミガメも、船上からまあ見られたので、母は満足しておりました。

The sandbar gets really cold when clouds come out. Also, depending on the day, the wind can be strong, so warm clothing is a must. The kids were shivering both in the water and after getting out. I was grateful to have a warm drink.
On this day, the water level at the sandbar was knee-deep. The scenery was breathtaking. There were no fish at the sandbar, so we didn't go snorkeling.
You can play beach volleyball, but we mostly went to take photos. The endless emerald horizon is soothing and allows for an escape from reality.
We moved to another location for turtle watching. We saw many turtles from the boat! We then moved to a snorkeling spot with coral. We encountered a giant turtle that looked to be about a meter long! Although I wished to swim with the turtle, I was a bit intimidated by its size, which was larger than I imagined. The visibility at the snorkeling point was clear near the coral, but you couldn't see into the deeper areas.
The hamburgers for lunch were excellent, made with freshly grilled meat.
The price is not cheap, but it's worth a visit at least once.
サンドバーは雲が出てくると
一気に寒くなります。
又、日によっては風も強いので
防寒対策必須です。
子供は水中でも上がってからもブルブル震えてましたよ(ーー;)
暖かい飲み物をいただけて助かりました。
この日サンドバーの水位はひざ位置でした。
景色は絶景。
サンドバーには魚はいないのでシュノーケルはしませんでした。
ビーチバレーをしたりもできますが、
私たちは写真を撮りにいった感じ
となりました。
どこまでも続くエメラルド色の水平線に癒され現実逃避ができます。
場所を移動しながらウミガメウォッチング。
船からも沢山のウミガメが見れました‼︎
シュノーケルは珊瑚のある場所に移動。
シュノーケルで1mはありそうな巨大なウミガメに遭遇しました‼︎
ウミガメと泳ぎたい〜なんて望んではいたものの、想像以上の大きさに少々ビビリました。
シュノーケルポイントの透明度は珊瑚が近い所まで。深いところは見えません。
お昼のハンバーガーは
その場で焼いてくれたお肉を挟んでくれるので絶品です(^_−)−☆
価格は手頃ではないが、
一度は行ってみる価値あり。

Snack time was on the boat, with sandwiches made of bread, ham, and cheese. The nachos were blown away by the wind, which was quite a hassle.
For snorkeling, we just wore life jackets and floated. No fins were used. It lasted about 15 minutes. We scattered some bread and just watched the fish come over. It felt like a brief experience, and I think it's suitable for beginners.
I think it's good for elderly people or those with small children. As for the sea turtles, you might catch a glimpse of one floating up for a moment, but you can't really observe a turtle basking in the sun closely.

シュノーケルも、ライフジャケットを着て、浮いているだけです。フィンもつけません。15分くらいかな。パンを蒔いて、寄ってくる魚を見ただけです。ちょっと体験、て感じで、初めての人向きだと思います。
高齢者とか、小さな子ども連れにはいいと思います。ウミガメは、一瞬浮いてくるのを見つける感じで、甲羅干しをしている亀をじっくり見られるわけではありません。
