Complete Pearl Harbor Tour with Lunch - Visit Main Exhibits, Memorials & Museums

Such a good day and experience with a great tour guide!

Reviewed by: Ashton

This was such a well laid out tour with plenty of time for all of the different sites. Our bus was on time and our tour guide was fantastic throughout the whole day. We started out touring the Battleship Missouri and also did about a 35 minute guided tour and then we went over to the Aviation museum and had lunch before being able to check out both hangers. After that we headed over to the Arizona Memorial and were able to watch a short movie explaining the attack and walk through the different exhibits before taking a boat ride to the memorial. It was still closed for construction so I would love to go back once it opens to be able to actually go on the memorial. I would definitely recommend this tour.

サンドバー天使の海　シュノーケリング＆ウミガメウォッチクルーズ　船上のBBQグリルで焼くハンバーガーランチ付き！＜午前／日本語クルー＞

We all enjoyed it as a family! 家族みなで楽しめました！

Reviewed by: あやや

I participated for the first time with my daughter in third grade, my son in second year of junior high, my 79-year-old father, my 74-year-old mother, and myself, a total of five people. I was worried about my mother, who has trouble walking, but we were able to enjoy the sandbar without any issues. My mother watched the snorkeling from the boat, but there were others who were also observing the snorkeling, and the atmosphere allowed everyone to participate freely according to their own condition, which was great.

The day before, a hurricane was approaching, and I was concerned about the weather, but during the tour until around 2:30 PM, we were able to enjoy the blue sky and the emerald green sea!

The female leader of the tour was excellent; her explanations were enjoyable, bright, and efficient, and the other staff members were very kind, making it a highly favorable tour. My son was impressed by the surprisingly delicious hamburgers.

We even encountered a sea turtle during the boat ride, and while snorkeling at the coral reef, we found a large sea turtle sleeping in a cave-like area, which made my daughter very happy.

It was also helpful that the bus departed from near the hotel. I had prepared marine shoes, but it turned out I didn't need to wear them. According to the staff, sometimes small sand can get in and actually be painful, so I think it's fine to prepare them and choose whether to wear them on-site.

It was a very enjoyable tour, and I'm glad we went.

小3の娘、中2の息子、79歳の父、74歳の母と私の5人で初参加しました。足の悪い母が心配でしたが、サンドバーは問題なく楽しめました。母はシュノーケリングは船から見ていましたが、ほかにもシュノーケリングを見学している人もいて、自分の状態で自由に参加できる雰囲気がよかったです。
前日からハリケーンが近づいていて、天気が心配でしたが、午後２時半ごろまでのツアー中は持ち、青い空、エメラルドグリーンの海を楽しめました！
女性の責任者の方のしきりがとても良く、説明も楽しく、明るく手際よく、ほかのスタッフの方々もとても親切で、好感度の高いツアーでした。
息子は、思った以上にちゃんとした美味しいハンバーガーに感動していました。
船の移動中にウミガメにも会えて、サンゴ礁でのシュノーケリングでは、洞窟のような中で眠る大きなウミガメも見つけ、娘も大喜びでした。
ホテルの近くからのバスの発車も助かりました。
マリンシューズを用意してましたが、履かなくて大丈夫でした。スタッフの方によると、小さな砂が入り込んでかえって痛いこともある、とのことでした。準備しておいて現場で履く履かないは選ぶ、でいいかと思います。
とても楽しいツアーで、行けて良かったです。

It seems it was a bit too long. 少し長すぎたようです

Reviewed by: こおろぎ

When we were riding horses, the four of us were quite excited. However, by the time we finished riding and returned, everyone seemed tired. My father and husband, who just turned 70, got off the horse saying their knees hurt and walked in a rather strange way. My 9-year-old and 10-year-old daughters and my nephew simply said they were sleepy.

As I listened to them, it seemed they felt sleepy because they were walking at the same pace through similar scenery. Additionally, the uncles were in the same position and at the same pace, which seemed to have taken a toll on their legs and back. They mentioned that the horseback riding experience on the Big Island of Hawaii was better. What a shame...

Since my youngest daughter, who is 3 years old, also wanted to experience horseback riding like her older sister, I assumed it would be a pony riding experience and made the reservation. However, among the horses lined up for the riding experience, there were no ponies. I thought they might be preparing them, but instead, everyone was riding horses of similar size... Let's ride!!

After the experience, we got to brush the horse's fur and feed them, and that was the end of it. It seems like she had a lot of fun.

First experience at the sandbar. サンドバー初体験

Reviewed by: そらから

We participated as a family of four with two children in the upper grades of elementary school. The forecast was cloudy, but it was mostly sunny with calm waves. After gathering by bus from each hotel, we boarded the boat at the port, splitting into a Japanese-speaking guide's boat and an English-speaking (foreign) boat. The explanations were clear, and the guide was lively and fun. At the sandbar, they were knowledgeable about taking photos, providing advice on angles and poses, and we got to take many shots! We saw plenty of sea turtles as well. The snorkeling was a bit murky, possibly due to the tide being high, but we could still see fish. On the way back, we could ride the bus even in wet swimsuits if we had a towel, but it was cold inside the bus, so I wish I had brought dry clothes. The lunch was also quite delicious! The sandbar was beautiful, and we were very satisfied!

小学生高学年2人の子供と家族4人で参加。曇り予報でしたが、殆ど晴れで波も穏やか。各ホテルからバスで集まると、港で、日本語ガイドさんの船と、英語の船（外人）に分かれて乗船。説明もわかりやすく、ノリもよく楽しいガイドさん。サンドバーでは、写真の撮り方熟知しており、方向やポーズのアドバイスあり、何ショットもとってもらえました！海亀もこれでもかってほど見ました。シュノーケルは、潮が満ちていたせいか、やや濁りぎみでもまぁ魚は見えました。帰りは、濡れた水着でもタオルひけばバスに乗れますが、バス内が寒いので、乾いた服をもっていけばよかったかな。昼ごはんもかなり美味しかった！サンドバーきれいだったし、大満足！

Last year, my husband and I participated in the Manoa Falls tour, but this time we joined with our three grandchildren (ages 5, 7, and 10) and our daughter, making a total of six of us.
The sandbar was a bit deep for the grandchildren, but it was perfect for practicing snorkeling later on.
The barbecue on the boat was also very delicious, and we were extremely satisfied.
We were able to see some turtles (though it was a bit disappointing that there weren't many), and the staff were very kind, allowing us to have a fun day.

昨年は夫婦二人でマノアの滝ツアーに参加しましたが、今回は孫３人（５歳、７歳、１０歳）と娘、我々夫婦６人で参加しました。
サンドバーは孫達にはちょっと深かったですが、後で行うシュノーケリングの練習を行うには最適でした。
船上でのバーベキューも大変美味しく、大満足でした。

West Oahu Snorkel Cruise with Dolphin Watch, Kayak, SUP, Waterslide & Lunch

Swim with Wild Dolphins Cruise

Reviewed by: Tammy Jarvis

Our activity was rescheduled by the company for a 3 days later which we received a gift for our inconvenience. When we arrived we quickly realized that there were going to be many people going. I was expecting a much smaller group. Our family of 5 decided to ride on the upper deck and had the best time. Our main guide was Oliver who was very friendly and funny. He made our experience very enjoyable. The entire crew was friendly as well. The Captain proceeded to try to find dolphins. Much to our dismay he was unable to locate them but he drove all over trying his best to locate them. With the changes in the water with the hurricane 1300 miles away the dolphins had retreated to deeper waters. This didn't take away from our very fun experience. We were able to snorkel for a good amount of time where we did see a turtle. Other water activities were available as well. There were 2 photographers on board.. 1 which was in the water as well. We were fed lunch very efficiently and the staff made sure we had everything we needed. We were treated to 2 hula dancers which was a lot of fun. I would recommend this experience to anyone. A great
crew and a fun adventure!

First time on a SUP (Stand-Up Paddleboard) 初めてのサップ

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

After the lecture by the renowned instructor Mieko, I thought I had grasped the tips and headed out to the sea, underestimating how easy stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) would be. Despite the conditions being rated a 9 out of 10 with calm waves, I struggled to stand and balance at first, falling into the water multiple times and realizing how challenging it was. However, the sea was beautiful, and I felt happy to experience my first SUP in such a scenic setting, especially since participants the day before had faced high waves in the river. ✨ Although I applied sunscreen diligently, the strong sun still led to some sunburn.

After paddling mostly while sitting, I finally reached an uninhabited island where Mieko kindly explained the island's scenery and wildlife, took great photos at nice spots, and we enjoyed some conversation.

On the way back, I felt a bit more accustomed to it, and with the flow of the waves, the board moved smoothly. Thanks to Mieko's precise advice, I was able to stand and balance for longer, and it felt like I quickly returned to the beach. I wished I could have stayed out longer! I'm glad that with Mieko's guidance, I was able to stand and maneuver the board!

The recommended pizza lunch after all that effort was exceptionally delicious!

名物インストラクターミエコさんの講義の後コツは掴んだつもりで海に出て、サップは簡単にできるものだと舐めて掛かっていたんですが、当日波が穏やかで10段階中9評価のいいコンディションとのことだったのに最初は全然立ってバランスが取れず何度も海に落ちてその難しさを実感しました。ただ、海は綺麗だし前日参加の人は波が高く川でやったとのことだったのでその景色とコンディションの中初サップができることに幸せを感じました✨ただ日射しはとても強かったのでしっかり日焼け止めを塗っていたけど日焼けは避けられませんでした

ほぼ座り漕ぎでようやく辿り着いた無人島ではミエコさんが丁寧に島の景観や生物について説明してくれたりいいスポットで写真を撮ってくれたり会話も楽しめました。

帰りは少し慣れたことと波の流れもあってボードはスムーズに進み、ミエコさんの的確なアドバイスで立ってバランスが取れる時間も長くなってあっと言う間にビーチに戻れた感覚でもっと長く乗っていたかったと思いました。
今回ミエコさんに指導して頂いたお陰で立って操作できるまでになれたのでよかったです！

頑張った後のオススメピザランチは格別に美味しかったです！

West Oahu Snorkel Cruise with Dolphin Watch, Kayak, SUP, Waterslide & Lunch

Swim with Dolphins and Snorkel Review

Reviewed by: John

Overall this was not one of the better snorkel experiences. The boat was too crowded, with 61 snorkelers. The right size for the boat should have been about 40. Especially crowded at the start where people were not allowed on the top deck when leaving port.

The crew try their best to provide a good time. They are energetic and enthusiastic.

Food option was another issue. Basically you get either a cheeseburger or veggie cheeseburger. No other choices. I hate cheese. Since food is pre-made, there is no opportunity for a simple hamburger. Drinks are either water or watered down lemonade, served in tiny cups. Should have had more variety and larger cups. You also can get a bag of chips.

Swimming with the dolphin is basically everyone jump in the water, look down to see a couple dolphins swim by, and then jump right back in the boat.

Snorkeling was not rushed, but the site did not have many fish or varieties of fish.

Water slide was fun. Much more fun than snorkeling.

You can see sea turtles up close! 間近にウミガメも！

Reviewed by: SEN

I had been curious about it for a long time, and this was my first time participating. The sandbar is a wonderful place made up of coral deposits, and standing there gave me a truly strange feeling. We took photos and played beach volleyball with other participants, and before we knew it, it was time for the BBQ hamburger lunch. The hamburgers we made ourselves, topped with pineapple and other ingredients, were exceptional when eaten on the boat.

After that, we went turtle watching from the boat, and then it was time for snorkeling at the snorkeling point. Unfortunately, the visibility wasn't that great, but we encountered turtles underwater, which was incredibly exciting. The Japanese-speaking female guide was friendly, and for some reason, it felt like my family was being slightly marked, but she helped liven up the atmosphere on the boat, and we had a great time.

ずっと気にはなっていたが、今回初めて参加しました。
サンドバーは素敵な場所でサンゴの堆積で出来ている浅瀬という事で、そこに立てば何とも不思議な感覚がありました。写真を撮ったり参加者でビーチバレーをしたりしましたが、あっと言う間にBBQハンバーガーランチとなりました。自分たちでパイナップルなどトッピングして、船の上で食べるハンバーガーは格別なものでした。
その後ウミガメのウォッチングを船上から行い、シュノーケリングポイントでシュノーケリングになりました。
残念ながら視界はそれほど良くありませんでしたが、水中でもウミガメに遭遇し、大興奮でした。
日本語ガイドの女性の方も、気さくな方で、何故か我が家族が少しマークされていた感はありますが、船上も盛り上げていただき、楽しいひと時を過ごせました。

The weather was great, and we were able to see a very beautiful sandbar! The snorkeling spot had strong winds and the water was a bit murky, but we were able to see some fish. The sandbar was deeper than I expected, about knee-deep. I checked a site that predicts the tides to decide when to go, but there were days that seemed deeper, so I think it would be good to confirm and choose a day within the possible range.

天気に恵まれ、とても綺麗なサンドバーが見られました！シュノーケリングのポイントは風が強く少し海は濁りが強かったですが、魚は見ることができました。サンドバーはひざ下くらいの深さで思ったよりも深かったです。潮の満ち引きを予測するサイトを見て決めましたが、もっと深そうな日もあったので、可能な範疇で確認して行く日を決められるといいと思います。

In Japan, I was able to immerse myself in the magnificent nature, forgetting the time while feeling the pleasant sunlight and breeze. It was an incredibly happy time, and my mother, who joined me, was very satisfied as well. My father, an experienced rider, participated in the advanced course and was also thrilled with horseback riding in Hawaii's stunning nature. Most importantly, I was overjoyed to see my 2-year-old son experience horseback riding for the first time during the 20-minute introductory course, which made me feel his growth. My wife, who had said she might ride if our son couldn't, ultimately didn't get to ride, but she was satisfied watching our son on the horse. Thanks to the very friendly staff, we had the best time.

The tour itself was just okay, but... ツアー自体はまあまあですが・・・

Reviewed by: ほんだびーと

There was a bit of trouble with the operating company at the meeting point. We arrived at the meeting location more than five minutes before the scheduled time. Then, a flashy bus with the "Dolphin & You" logo passed right in front of us, and thinking we had been left behind, we hurried to chase after it, but it just kept going. Since we had minimal luggage and didn't have our smartphones, we had no choice but to return to the hotel, where we received a call from the operating company... They said they had come to pick us up at the meeting point but since we weren't there, we could no longer participate in the tour.

Actually, the bus we chased after was a different bus picking up Western guests, while Japanese guests were supposed to be picked up by a smaller van (a plain white bus without the operating company's name or logo), which apparently arrived quite late on the day of the tour. Despite this, the operating company said, "Since this is a cancellation on your part, we cannot issue a refund. If you want to participate, please take a taxi to the harbor." I thought it was unreasonable to ask us to take a taxi to a location that takes an hour by car, and when I expressed my frustration asking, "Is this really our responsibility???" they reluctantly agreed to send someone to pick us up.

On the morning of the tour, a confirmation call was made to the hotel, but the staff member was not fluent in Japanese and did not provide detailed information during the prior call. Therefore, I recommend confirming what kind of bus will come to pick you up on the day of the tour.

Once we got on the boat, I thought the staff members were very kind and helpful. There were also staff members who spoke Japanese fluently. They were very high-energy, which might be a bit overwhelming if you’re feeling unwell. In my case, I think the strong winds contributed to my discomfort, and I felt that snorkeling might be tough for small children... My child cried a lot during the first attempt and couldn't handle it. Dolphins can only be seen underwater as dark shadows, so it might be better for children to see them from the boat.

I also brought an underwater camera, but it's quite difficult unless you're a good swimmer. Regarding clothing, I wore a rash guard and tights, and I think that was sufficient without needing to rent a wetsuit (the rental wetsuits are short types). As for belongings, you should definitely borrow a bath towel from the hotel and bring it with you. It can get a bit chilly on the way back, so it's better to take off wet rash guards and dry off with the bath towel before putting on a dry shirt.

As for tipping, which can be confusing for Japanese people, it didn't seem like it was strictly enforced. The Q&A section on the operating company's website also mentions that a small gesture is sufficient. I hope this information is helpful to everyone.

集合時に運営会社と少しとトラブルになりました。
私たちは集合場所に待ち合わせ時間の5分以上前から来ていました。
すると「ドルフィン＆ユー」のロゴが描かれた派手めのバスが目の前を通り過ぎてしまったので、置いて行かれたと思い、慌てて追いかけたのですが、そのまま行ってしまいました。
荷物も最小限で、スマホも持っていなかったので、仕方なくホテルに戻ったところ、運営会社から電話が・・・。集合場所にピックアップにきたが、いないのでもうツアーには参加できないとのことでした。
実は我々が追いかけたバスは、欧米人客を拾っていく別便のバスで、日本人客はそれよりは小さいバンのようなバス（運営会社名もロゴもない、真っ白なバスです）が拾っていくことになってたらしいのですが、当日それが待ち合わせ時間よりもかなり遅れてきたのです。
・・・にも関わらず、運営会社がいうには、「そちらの都合のキャンセルなので、返金には応じられない。参加したければ、タクシーでハーバーまで来てください。」とのことでした。
車で1時間もかかるところに、タクシーで来いというのもどうかと思いますし、さすがに「それってこちらの責任なのですか？？？」と憤ったところ、渋々なんとか迎えにきてくれました。

当日の朝に確認の電話がホテルに掛かってきますが、そのときのスタッフは日本語が堪能ではなく、事前の電話でそこまで詳細な情報までは教えてはくれませんでした。
ですので、当日はどんなバスが迎えにくるのかを必ず確認された方がいいと思います。
　
船に乗ってからは、スタッフの皆さんとても親切で良かったと思います。
日本語がとても流暢なスタッフもいました。
とてもハイテンションなので、気分が悪くなるとちょっとしんどいかもしれません。
私の場合は、結構風が強かったのも原因かと思いますが、シュノーケリングは小さいお子さんは厳しいかも・・・という印象でした。
うちの子は、1回目で大泣きでダメでした。
イルカは水中で見ても、黒い影のようにしか見えないので、子供は船上で見た方がいいかもしれません。
あと水中カメラを持っていきましたが、泳ぎが得意な方でないとなかなか難しいです。
あと服装ですが、私はラッシュカードとタイツをはいて行きましたが、ウエットスーツ（貸しウエットスーツは短パンタイプです）を借りなくても、これで十分だと思いました。
荷物としては、バスタオルはホテルで借りて必ず持っていくべきでしょう。やはり帰りはちょっと寒いので、ぬれたラッシュガードなどは脱いで、バスタオルで体を拭って、乾いたシャツ等を着る方がいいと思います。

日本人が戸惑うチップですが、そんなにきっちり払っている感じはなかったです。運営会社HPのQ&Aにも書いてありますが、気持ち程度でいいと思います。
皆さんの参考になればと思います。

The sand bar and volleyball were breathtakingly beautiful and so much fun! Whether you are a professional volleyball player or a 5 year old, it all seemed to work out just as it should and everyone had an amazing time!
The BBQ was delicious, drinks, bar, everything was perfect! Grilling off the side of a catamaran on a sandbar in Oahu! What more could you ask for!
Seeing the turtles was amazing and the snorkeling was fantastic as well! Plenty of really nice equipment, instruction, safety always a priority with this crew! I would recommend this excursion and experience 100%! Also- a nice tour bus picks you up at your hotel or close to it if you need a ride! Fantastic transportation. Very well run and organized! We met some really nice people on the excursion and the crew was the best! Enjoy!

サンドバー天使の海　シュノーケリング＆ウミガメウォッチクルーズ　船上のBBQグリルで焼くハンバーガーランチ付き！＜午前／日本語クルー＞

I was able to encounter a sea turtle, but in the afternoon, the high tide was a bit different from the sandbar I had imagined. ウミガメには出会えた But 午後は満潮で想像のサンドバーとは少し違った

Good point
- The lunch is very delicious.
- Drinks are free (alcohol is extra).
- The sea is beautiful.
- I got to see a sea turtle!

Disappointing point
- Since the tour arrives in the afternoon, the sea was high tide and the sandy beach was not visible. It might be better to think that this tour is not one where the sandy beach is exposed.

Good point
・lunchがとても美味しい
・ドリンクも無料（アルコールは別）
・海が綺麗
・ウミガメに会えた！

残念point
・午後に到着のツアーなので海は満潮で砂浜は見えませんでした。このツアーでは砂浜が顔を出すツアーではないと思ったほうがいいかもしれません

サンドバー天使の海　シュノーケリング＆ウミガメウォッチクルーズ　船上のBBQグリルで焼くハンバーガーランチ付き！＜午前／日本語クルー＞

There are so many sea turtles! めっちゃウミガメいっぱい！

Reviewed by: あいたん！

The tour was conducted with two boats, one of which gathered Japanese participants and provided guidance in Japanese. The guide was a Japanese person who was always smiling and very attentive.

When we arrived at the sandbar, we spotted two sea turtles, and several more came by afterward.

Next, we moved to the snorkeling point, where we were able to see about five sea turtles from the boat.

The snorkeling point didn't have strong waves, so if you can swim reasonably well, I recommend trying it without a life jacket!

The deeper areas had more fish and were beautiful! Additionally, I was able to find a sea turtle resting in the coral, and I managed to take an amazing photo! I had to dive about 4 meters, which was quite challenging, but it became my best memory in Hawaii.

I want to go again!

2隻の船でツアーを行い、1隻に日本人を集めて日本語でガイドを行ってくれました。
ガイドをしてくれたのは日本人の方で終始笑顔で丁寧な対応をしてくれました。

サンドバーに着いた時にもウミガメが目視で2匹確認できて、その後もサンドバーに何匹か来ていました。

その後はシュノーケリングポイントに移動するのですが、船から5匹くらいのウミガメを見つけられました。

シュノーケリングポイントは波もそこまで強くないので、泳ぎがある程度できる人はライフジャケット無しでチャレンジしてみてください！

深いところの方が魚も多くて綺麗でした！
また、サンゴの隙間で休んでいるウミガメを見つけられて最高の一枚を撮ることができました！
4mくらい潜らなければならなかったので、結構大変でしたがハワイで1番の思い出になりました。

また行きたいです！

Captain Bob's Kaneohe Sandbar Snorkeling Tour & BBQ Lunch with Waikiki Pickup

The best Finale' to our vacation

Reviewed by: Yam

We couldn't ask for a better way to spend our last day in Oahu.
This tour was so relaxing and fun. Everyone was so friendly including staff and other participants.
The Sand bar was so exciting, and the turtles were cute. and snorkelling amazing.
Everything is well organised.


One advice to people who go on this tour -
Go to the bathroom before boarding the ship,
since the bathrooms are not that convenient.
but they are there if you need them :-)

Amazing! 最高！

Reviewed by: たなかり

It was a shame that the weather wasn't clear on the day, but I had a wonderful time with a cheerful guide! If I have the chance to go to Hawaii again, I would like to participate when the weather is clear and the tide is low. Thank you!☆

当日は快晴でなかったのが残念でしたが、愉快なガイドさんとともに楽しいひとときを過ごさせてもらいました！
またハワイに行く機会があったときは、快晴＆潮が引いてるときを狙って参加したいです。
ありがとうございました☆

It was amazing.
It was my first experience, and I was continuously moved.
The beautiful sea, the cute sea turtles, and the fun staff.
The snorkeling had clear explanations and safety considerations, which made me feel very secure.
I don't get to go to Hawaii often, but this is one activity I want to experience again next time.
Thank you very much.

最高でした。
初めての体験でしたが、感動の連続でした。
綺麗な海、可愛いウミガメ、楽しいスタッフ

Everything went smoothly from the pickup time to arrival. Renting a bicycle for $10 was a great decision. We quickly got takeout from Kimo's Pancakes. We shared it and ended up very full. The staff were kind, and we had a wonderful time at Kailua Beach. For lunch, we had plates at the hotel.

カイルア　スタンドアップパドル（SUP）ツアー 選べるガイド付きプランまたはセルフガイドプラン　ビーチアイテム＆昼食付き＜送迎付きプランあり＞

More fun than I imagined!! 想像以上の楽しさ！！

Reviewed by: ちなつ

I had wanted to try SUP for a long time, so my husband and I participated together. I was a bit anxious because we hardly exercise and I was worried about whether I could keep up with the instructor, Emiko, based on the reviews I read.

On the day of the event, it was quite windy, and we paddled while sitting to a nearby island, which took about 40 minutes. On the way back, I was able to stand on the board. I fell into the sea several times, but in the end, I managed to stand on the board and ride the waves all the way to the sandy beach.

In the end!! I was tired, but it was incredibly fun.

There were three participants that day, and two instructors accompanied us.
- The veteran instructor, Emiko, taught us strictly yet kindly. She had a big sister vibe that made her easy to approach, and I really liked her.
- Tomoki was super handsome and kind, and when I had trouble on the water, he gave me precise advice.

I thought I wouldn't be able to stand on the board, but by following their advice, I was able to do it in the end. I felt a sense of accomplishment that I hadn't felt in a while, and it was amazing.

During the free time in the morning, I rented a bike and took out pancakes from Boots & Kimo's to enjoy at Lanikai Beach. Cycling was also fun.

以前からSUPをしてみたくて夫婦で参加しました。
普段ほとんど運動をしていないことに加え、こちらの口コミからエミコさんというインストラクターさんについていけるか、叱られるんじゃないかと不安もありました。。。
当日は風が強く、近くの島まで座って漕ぎました。40分ほどかかりました。
帰りはボードの上に立つことが出来ました。何度も海に落ちましたが、最後はボードの上に立って波に乗りながら砂浜までたどり着くことができました。
結果！！疲れたけど、すごくすごく楽しかったです。

当日の参加者は三名で、インストラクターは二人ついて下さいました。
・ベテランインストラクターのエミコさんは厳しく&やさしく教えてくれました。姉御という感じで接しやすく大好きになりました。
・ともきさんはめちゃくちゃイケメンで、優しくて、海の上で困ったときも的確なアドレスをくれました。

ボードの上で立てないかと思いましたが、二人のアドバイスに従って最後には立つことが出来ました。
久々に達成感が得られ、最高に気持ちよかったです。

午前中の自由時間で自転車をかりてブーツアンドキモズでパンケーキをテイクアウトラニカイビーチにいきました。サイクリングも楽しかったです。
