Last time, I participated with my husband, and this time we joined as a family of four. Previously, we were taken to a deserted island with a guide, but this time we chose a self-guided course. We carried the kayaks to the beach ourselves (after renting snorkeling gear) and went from Kailua Beach to the deserted island, then to Lanikai Beach (for snorkeling), and back to Kailua Beach. The wind was strong, so the beautiful Lanikai Beach was filled with sand, making visibility zero, and kayaking against the wind was extremely hard. However, the weather was nice and the scenery was great, so it turned out well in the end. There are many Japanese staff members and staff who can speak Japanese, which is very reassuring.

風が強かったので折角の綺麗なラニカイビーチは砂が舞って視界ゼロ&向かい風でのカヤックは超ハード

I participated with my 2-year-old daughter (free) and two friends. The shuttle bus had a mix of foreigners and Japanese, and the boat was exclusively for Japanese, so I felt very comfortable without any language barriers. The sea turtle came quite close, and my daughter was thrilled. At the Angel's Sea, we wore life jackets and enjoyed playing in the water together. The current was faster than I expected, so if you have small children, it might be wise to stay close to the boat.
I wasn't expecting much from the hamburgers served on the boat, but they were really delicious.
The snorkeling wasn't very clear, but there were plenty of fish, and it seemed like some people even had sea turtles come close to them, so everyone was having a great time.
There's no way I could have done this on my own, so joining the tour was definitely the right choice.
2歳の娘(無料)、友人と3人で参加しました。送迎バスは外国人、日本人の混載で船は日本人専用だったので言葉の不安がなくとても利用しやすいと思います。
ホヌはかなり近いところまで来てくれ娘もおおはしゃぎ。天使の海ではライフジャケットを着て3人で水遊び楽しみました。思ったより流れが速かったので小さい子連れなら船の近くから離れないように気を付けた方がいいかもしれません。
船の上で食べるハンバーガーは期待していなかったのですが、とっても美味しかったです。
シュノーケリングでは海の中はクリアではなく濁っていました。しかし魚がたくさんいて、ホヌも近くまで来た人もいたようでみんなとても楽しんでいました。
個人では絶対に来れないので、ツアーに参加して大正解。

I made a reservation for the horseback riding experience at 5 PM the night before, and there were no issues at all! I apologize for the significant delay in our arrival due to traffic. Fortunately, it seems there were no other participants besides us, and the guide welcomed us with a smile. (They greeted us without any sign of displeasure.) Thank you.
It was my first horseback riding experience, and the horses were well-trained, making it safe for beginners to ride. The guide kept the conversation going, and we had a great time chatting and enjoying the scenery throughout the ride.
You can bring your phone, so you can take photos along the way!

We participated with my husband, my mother-in-law, and my sister-in-law. A Japanese guide named Shota was with us.
It was challenging for my mother-in-law due to her leg issues, but the staff provided cheerful support when boarding and while she was seated, which we were truly grateful for.
I was thrilled to see wild dolphins and turtles!
However, I got a bit carried away and went down the boat slide, which left me with whiplash, making things difficult after returning home. I realized that in my 40s, I need to be more selective about activities as my body can't keep up.
Since we swam in the sea and got our swimsuits soaked, everyone changed in public restrooms after we docked before getting on the bus. I think it's better to bring a change of clothes.
The staff were bright and fun, making it a wonderful half-day experience!

Honestly, I don't have much confidence in my athletic ability. I told everyone I was going to Hawaii, and when you think of Hawaii, you think of marine sports, but drowning in the ocean is no joke. So, I decided to join this guided tour. They provided thorough explanations in Japanese, and it wasn't as difficult as I had feared, so I was able to enjoy it.
And above all, the ocean was vast, and the sky was blue. I feel like I truly enjoyed Hawaii. Just as a reference, I want to emphasize the importance of not neglecting sunscreen. Especially if you plan to wear flip-flops, please make sure to take care of the tops of your feet as well.

This became the best memory of our trip. Floating in the sea, swimming, and gazing at the island was so healing. The staff kept saying that this is the real Hawaii. I want to participate again.

The guide who accompanied us was Japanese (a woman named Yukiko), and she provided detailed guidance and support in Japanese, which was very helpful since we were participating with two preschoolers. When we asked for photos, she coordinated multiple shots with various backgrounds and poses, which made us very happy. (Although it was a family trip, it's not easy to get everyone in the same photo...) My 6-year-old daughter quickly got used to snorkeling. My 4-year-old son seemed to struggle with the snorkeling mask, but he enjoyed the underwater experience with goggles.

After a long time, I went horseback riding in Oahu. Unlike the famous Kualoa Ranch, it wasn't crowded here. If you don't need a helmet, you just need to sign a waiver. There are staff members who can speak Japanese, but since my daughter can speak English, we started the ride right away.
During the hour and a half horseback ride, we climbed hills from the 1,000-acre ranch, and the staff took photos of us with the ocean in the background. They seemed to have no commercial intent, as they took pictures with our smartphones.
Additionally, we could attach a pouch to the horse, allowing us to carry water and our smartphones, so we could freely drink water and take photos during the ride. It was a wonderful experience.

ここは、有名なクアロア牧場と違って混雑していませんでした。ヘルメット不要ならば署名すればOK。日本語が通じるスタッフはいるらしいのですが、娘も英会話ができるのでそのままライドスタート。

This tour was quite an adventure, complete with beautiful views, good food, and of course an exciting ride. Ty, our guide, shared all kinds of historic and pop culture facts related to the ranch. We learned a little about the original irrigation system from the ranch's early plantation days and even got to walk the full length of an irrigation tunnel and explored a small cave. We also saw a recent Hawaii Five-0 filming location, hand fed some cows, and ate fresh tropical fruit right off the plant. Ty also let us set the pace for the ride...we chose fast and rough and he did not disappoint. A couple times I thought we were going to spin out or flip over, which is exactly what we wanted!
I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a fun adventure.
Thank you so much for leaving us a kind review. We are so glad you had a wonderful experience with us here at Gunstock Ranch and Ty was able to share some fun facts and history with you. We are so glad you enjoyed your time with us. We hope that you come again.

We participated as a family of three (a couple and our 13-year-old daughter) who loves snorkeling and dolphins. When we arrived at the snorkeling point, we could see dolphin fins from the boat, and we even saw them jumping! That alone brought us so much joy.
There were about 70 participants that day. Before joining, I checked reviews that suggested staying close to the guide in the water, so we made sure to keep near them. When a pod of dolphins appeared, the guide shouted out directions, and we were able to see the dolphins... it was truly moving! Underwater, we could even hear the sounds of the dolphins. I didn't notice, but my daughter exclaimed that she saw a mother and baby dolphin!
We were lucky enough to see the pod multiple times, which was amazing. According to the guide, it was rare to see them that often. After that, we moved to a spot with turtles for snorkeling, but unfortunately, we couldn't swim with them. However, we did encounter a turtle that surfaced on our way back to the port, which made us very satisfied.
The tour content was very satisfying. A few points to note:
1. Take motion sickness medication beforehand.
2. We participated in August, but if you're sensitive to cold, it might be better to rent a wetsuit. I wore tights and a rash guard, but I was freezing and couldn't stop shaking after getting out of the water.
3. The return bus was quite cold, so it's essential to prepare for that.
シュノーケルもイルカも大好きな家族3人で参加(夫婦、13歳女子)しました。シュノーケルポイントにつくと船上からイルカの背びれが見え、ジャンプする姿も・・・!もうそれだけで喜びが。
当日の参加者は70人と大人数。参加前に口コミ情報をチェックしたら、海ではガイドさんの近くにいるようにとあったのでガイドさんの近くをキープ。
イルカの群れが現れると大声で声掛けしてくれるのでその方向をみるとイルカの群れが・・・感動です!!水中ではイルカの声?も聞こえました。私は気づきませんでしたが、娘は親子のイルカがいた~!と。
一度だけではなく、何度もイルカの群れを見れて本当に最高でした。ガイドさんいわく、こんなに何度も見れるのはラッキーだったそうです。
その後カメのいるポイントに移動してシュノーケルしましたが、残念ながらカメと泳ぐことはできませんでした。(港に帰る途中でカメが水上へ現れたのに遭遇できたので気分的には大満足)
ツアーの内容は大満足でした。
注意点としては
①酔い止めを飲んでおく。
②8月参加でしたが冷え性の人はウエットスーツをレンタルしたほうがいいかも。(私はタイツとラッシュガードでしたが海からあがったら寒くて手の震えがとまらなかったです。)
③帰りのバスはかなり寒いので防寒対策必至です。

At Sandbar, the experience on the boat and in the water was more comfortable than I imagined. For lunch, we had burgers with grilled meat prepared on the boat! And the best part is that drinking beer while in the ocean is something you wouldn't think is possible in Japan. We started playing beach volleyball with just 2 or 3 people, but before we knew it, more people joined in, and it became a blast! Snorkeling was also great, as we had about an hour to move freely and enjoy ourselves!

I was able to encounter a pod of wild dolphins! As soon as we spotted the dolphins, we hurriedly put on our fins and masks. At the captain's signal, we jumped into the sea one after another and swam to the location guided by the staff. When we looked underwater at the signal, we could see dozens of dolphins swimming below us! The water was incredibly clear, providing excellent visibility. It was a great experience.
We raced the boat to the best spot, waited, and signaled; I believe that if any of these elements were missing, the timing wouldn't have worked out. It truly felt like a long-established tour!
Even after getting back on the boat, the pod of dolphins swam alongside us. (This seems to be rare.) At this time of year, there were also baby dolphins, and we were able to see the dolphins jumping, which made for an exciting time.
While the time with the dolphins was wonderful, there were a few things I would like to see improved, which is why I’m giving it one less star.
- I would have liked it to be clearly stated that we needed to swim quickly on our own to see the dolphins. (I had a parent in their 60s who is not a strong swimmer with me.)
- The time we could see the dolphins underwater was very brief. (Once the pod passed by, we got back on the boat and moved straight to the water play point.) I would have liked to have more time to see them in the sea again.
- I purchased photos, but none were taken underwater. (It was the maximum number of passengers on board that day, so perhaps the photographer couldn't manage?) It felt like there were many photos of children. While there were photos taken on the boat, the commemorative photos with the staff were in a conveyor-belt style, so we weren't looking at the camera. It was disappointing, especially since it cost $79.
The staff were cheerful, and the boat was lively with dancing and singing, making it a good experience where I could feel the beauty of Hawaii's nature.
野生のイルカの群れに会えました!
イルカを発見すると急いでフィンとマスクを装着。船長さんの合図で次々に海に飛び込み、スタッフの誘導する場所まで泳ぎます。合図で海中を見ると何十頭のイルカの群れが下を泳いでいくのが見えました!海は透明度抜群で視界もクリア。いい体験ができました。
ベストな場所へ船を走らせ、待機し、合図、このどれが欠けてもタイミングは合わなかったと思います。さすが老舗ツアーだと思いました!
船に上がってからもイルカの群れが船と並走。(珍しいそうです。)時期的に赤ちゃんイルカもいて、イルカのジャンプも見ることができ、ワクワクな時間が続きました。
イルカとの時間は素適でしたが、いくつか改善してほしいこともあり星マイナス1。
・イルカを見るために急いで自力で泳ぐ必要があることは明記してほしかった。(泳ぎの得意でない60代の親が一緒でした。)
・イルカを水中で見れたのは一瞬だった。(群れが通り過ぎたら船に上がってそのまま水遊びポイントへ移動してしまう。)もう一度海の中で見る時間をとってほしかった。
・写真を購入したが海の中で1枚も撮ってもらえなかった。(当日は乗船可能人数maxだったのでカメラマンの手が回らなかった?)子どもの写真が多い印象。船の上では写っていましたがスタッフとの記念写真も流れ作業状態なのでカメラ目線になっていなくて…。79ドルもしたのに残念です。
スタッフも明るく船内もダンスや歌で盛り上がり、ハワイの自然を感じられる良い体験はできたと思います。

This tour is the best way to get the full Pearl Harbor experience. Our guide was very knowledgeable and answered all our curious and random questions. He did an excellent job of corralling such a large group in time to move from one exhibit to the next. We would have been lost without him. My favorite part of the tour was the boat ride out to the Arizona Memorial. Even though the memorial was closed at the time, seeing the Arizona Memorial and Battleship Missouri up close out on the water was quite humbling and awe-inspiring. Visiting Pearl Harbor is a top Oahu destination, and this tour is the best way to go!

Highlights were the chilli garlic shrimp lunch and the green sea turtle we saw sun-baking on the beach and the ones bobbing up and down in the sea! We would highly recommend this tour for anyone who wants to see the North Shore and get out of Waikiki.
Hi Karen,
Thanks! for your 5 star review of Steve, your great recommendation and our adventure!
Mahalo Nui Loa,
Michael

All other tours were fully booked, so we chose this one, and we had a great time.
For us, who were worried about not being able to keep up with a more intense itinerary, this was just the right amount of activity. The free time at the sandbar and snorkeling were perfectly timed for enjoyment. Although we didn't see any sea turtles while swimming, we encountered several from the boat. The children were very happy and expressed a desire to participate again.
There were also restrooms available, so we didn't have any issues.
予約がいっぱいで他のツアーは取れなくてこちらにしたのですが、とても楽しめました。
あまりハードな内容だとついていけないと不安だった私たちにとってはちょうど良い内容でした。サンドバーでの自由時間やシュノーケリングなどちょうど良い時間配分で楽しめます。泳ぎながらウミガメは見えませんでしたが、船の上から何匹もウミガメに会えました。子供たちもとても喜んでいてまたぜひ参加したいと思いました。
トイレなどもあったので困る事はなかったです。

Our group of 3 adults and 3 kids (12 yrs, 10, 10) took this trip a few weeks back during our vacation. We were not in the hotel zone so drove ourselves to Kaneohe Marina. Quick boat trip out to the sand bar, then to find honu (sea turtles) and finally out to a reef for some amazing snorkeling. Lunch (surprisingly delicious) was in there somewhere. Our crew was great - super nice, friendly and knowledgeable. Enjoyed hearing about Kaneohe Bay and the surrounding area. The only improvement I'd ask for is a bit more time out at the sandbar - felt like we could have stayed longer but other than that, everyone had a great time. We visit Hawaii every summer and try to hit new spots and new activities each visit. Our group agreed that we'd do this trip again if we could. Have fun!

I was initially anxious about the conditions of the sea (during the bus ride from Waikiki), but the crew who greeted us in Japanese quickly eased my worries. We encountered a pod of dolphins twice, and I was moved by their twist jumps right in front of us! It was a wonderful experience. The crew was really cheerful, and we laughed a lot, creating lovely memories. There were a few people who felt seasick, but I took motion sickness medication beforehand, so I had no issues. I also didn't experience any motion sickness after returning. The rental of dive suits was helpful as it kept me warm. Additionally, make sure to put your belongings in a waterproof bag, or they will get soaked.
潜る海の状況がわからず(ワイキキからバスでの移動に)不安がありましたが、バスで迎えてくれたクルーの日本語がうまく不安はすぐになくなりました。
2回もイルカの群れに出会い、目の前でツイストジャンプには感動!!素晴らしい体験でした。
また、クルー達はほんと愉快だし笑いっぱなしで素敵な思い出になりました。
船酔いで体調を崩している人も何人かいましたが、事前に酔い止めを飲んで参加したので問題なし。戻ってからの丘酔いもありませんでした。
ダイブスーツのレンタルも寒くならずに助かりました。
あと荷物は防水バックに入れないとビチョビチョになります。
