All Reviews for Lunch & Breakfast Experiences

I participated with my elementary school child. We joined from the Marriott Hotel, and perhaps because there were only a few people on this route's bus, the temperature inside was comfortable, not too cold.

There were some hiccups, like forgetting to bring mineral water on the boat, but it was a small boat, close to the sea, and the atmosphere on board was friendly and cheerful.

I checked the low tide times in Japan before participating, so the sandbar was at a nice level, just below the knees to the ankles. It was my first time snorkeling, but I felt reassured because the staff was there to support us if we were anxious.

Since I joined the morning course, we were able to return to Waikiki in the afternoon, making good use of our time. The staff's guidance was clear and enjoyable. I think I might get hooked on snorkeling!

小学生の子供と参加しました。
マリオットホテルからの参加でしたが、こちらのルートのバスは少人数だったからなのか、バスの中の温度も寒すぎず、快適でした。
船も ミネラルウォーターの積み忘れなどのハプニングはありましたが、小さな船で、海も近くて船の中も和気あいあいな感じでした。
引き潮の時間も日本で調べてから参加したので、サンドバーはひざ下から足首の感じのいい時期でした。
初シュノーケルでしたが、不安だったらスタッフの方たちがついていてくれたので、安心できました。
午前中のコースに参加したので、午後にはワイキキに戻ってこれたので、時間も有効に使えました。
スタッフの方のガイドもわかりやすく、楽しかった。
ちょっとシュノーケルにはまりそうです。

This is my second time, and I really think it's a wonderful tour! The hamburgers eaten on the boat are the best! I want to participate again next time!

2回目ですが、本当に素晴らしいツアーだと思います！
船上で食べるハンバーガーが最高です！
次回も参加したいと思います！

The tour bus driver Genshin was punctual, friendly, and informative. We fell a bit behind schedule on the way back but that was due to traffic and Genshin was nice enough to wait an extra 5-10 minutes for the late passengers. The guided tour portion at Pearl Harbor was brief but it gave everyone a chance to explore the Arizona Memorial and USS Missouri for themselves. A good experience overall.

On the way there, the driver provided a tour guide in English. It's not a big deal, but I learned a lot of things I wouldn't have known if I had been traveling by rental car. It was surprisingly good.

The crew consisted of three women and Captain Bob. One of them could speak Japanese, but even if you're worried about your English, it's not a problem. Everyone was friendly and fun.

The sandbar is just a shallow area offshore, so there's nothing particularly special, but you can practice snorkeling or play beach volleyball. I thought about walking to the end, but there were larger stones (pieces of coral) along the way, and it hurt my feet without sandals. It was also too wide to reach the end.

Next was turtle watching. This time, there were few turtles. However, there were a lot of mantas that came very close to the boat.

While snorkeling, there was a large turtle right nearby. After taking a ton of photos, I circled around the coral reef that spans about 1 km. When I returned to the boat to take a break, I spotted a shark. It seemed to be sleeping, so I dove down and got about a meter close to it.

There were many unexpected discoveries, and it was incredibly fun.

行きのバスではドライバーが英語で観光案内してくれる。大した話ではないがレンタカーで移動していたら知りえないことがいろいろ聞けた。意外とよかった。

船員は女性３名＋キャプテンBOB。日本語ができる方は１名だが英語が心配な方でも問題ない。皆さん気さくで楽しい。

サンドバーは沖合の浅瀬というだけで特段何もないが、シュノーケルの練習やビーチ（？）バレーができる。端まで歩こうと思ったが、途中から大きめの石（サンゴのかけら）が多くなりサンダルがないと足が痛い。そもそも広すぎて端まで行けなかった。

次にタートルウォッチング。今回は亀は少なかった。しかし、マンタが大量にいて船のすぐ近くまで来てくれた。

シュノーケルでは、大きな亀がすぐ近くにいた。写真を撮りまくった後、周囲１Kmあるサンゴ礁をぐるりと一周。船に戻って休憩しよと思ったらサメを発見。寝ているようだったので素潜りで１ｍぐらいまで近づいてみた。

想定外の発見がいろいろあってめちゃくちゃ楽しかった。

In the morning, when we were picked up, there was a group of Japanese people. I was worried because they couldn't speak English, but the staff kindly explained everything in Japanese, which was a relief. Even the older couple nearing their sixties were fine.

In the sea, we encountered four groups of 20 to 30 dolphins. We only saw sea turtles from a distance, though.

On the boat, the staff entertained us. It was the best experience!

The bus was cold.

朝、ピックアップされたら何と日本人一組。
英語話せないし、どうしようと思っていたら、スタッフの人達が日本語で個人的に親切に説明してくれ、安心安心。還暦前のおじさんおばさんも大丈夫でし
海では、イルカ20～30頭の群れを4群れと会いました。海亀は、遠くから見えただけだけど
船の上では、スタッフ達が楽しませてくれました。
最高でしたよ。

バスの中が寒かった

the staff was awesome, had a great time at the sandbar and snorkeling. this was such a unique experience.

The Japanese guide and all the staff were very cheerful and made the experience enjoyable! However, the weather was bad with rain and wind, and it was very cold, so we couldn't see any beautiful scenery at all... Everyone was shivering... It made me want to go home early. There's nothing we can do about the weather, though. This is part of the nature experience. Towards the end, they served us warm drinks, which was a relief. To be honest, I wish they had served them a bit earlier.

日本のガイドさんもスタッフ皆さんも、とても明るく楽しく盛り上げてくれて良かっです！
しかし、天気が悪く雨と風でとても寒く、綺麗な景色も全く見れず…
みんなブルブルガクガク…
寒いから早く帰りたくなりました。
天気ばかりは、どうしようもないですね。
これも、自然体験。
最後の方に温かい飲み物を出してくれてホッとしました。もう少し早く出して欲しかったのが本音。

It was quite a hard tour starting at 5:30 AM, but we got to see dolphins, whales, and sea turtles! The staff had great energy, and there was time for fun. I was very tired, but it was so much fun!

朝5時半集合でなかなかのハードツアーでしたがいるか、くじら、海ガメも見れました！
スタッフのノリも良く、遊びの時間もありとっても疲れましたがとっても楽しかったです。

Paul our driver was entertaining and he was very knowledgeable! It was a great tour and it was so much fun!

This snorkeling tour was awesome! We didn’t luck out on the weather, but the crew was amazing! They were so good with kids, and very relaxed! They were also so attentive to making the trip enjoyable for everyone - offering to take pictures, offering fish food, offering drinks, supporting those who didn’t want to snorkel or who were anxious without being pushy. I loved it!

I signed up for this tour despite a busy schedule. The meeting time wasn't too early in the morning, and I was able to make it without any issues after breakfast. The meeting place was also close to the hotel, so I didn't get lost, but it's important to note that there were other tour groups at the meeting spot. It takes just under an hour by bus to reach the boarding location.

There were many Japanese participants on the boat, and the guide was also Japanese, making for a friendly atmosphere. We arrived at the sandbar about 20 minutes after departure. This time, the water was only ankle-deep due to low tide, which was surprising to find such a shallow area offshore.

We spent about an hour at the sandbar, enjoying volleyball with the guide and local staff. We had lunch (hamburgers) prepared by the local staff and went turtle watching. From the boat, we were able to see about 3 to 5 turtles. After that, we snorkeled for about an hour. While it’s said that you can occasionally see turtles while snorkeling, we didn’t spot any this time. However, there were various fish swimming around, and time flew by quickly.

I think this is a cost-effective tour.

ハードな日程の中、このツアーに申し込みました。
集合時間は朝早くなく、朝食後でも問題なく間に合いました。
集合場所もホテルの近くで迷うことなく行けましたが、集合場所には他のツアーの人もいるので注意が必要です。
乗船場所まではバスで1時間弱で着きます。
船は日本人参加者が多く、ガイドさんも日本の方で、フレンドリーな方々でした。
サンドバーは出港後約20分ほどで到着します。今回は干潮時で足首ほどの水深でした。沖にこんな浅瀬の場所があることにはビックリです。
サンドバーで約1時間ほどいましたが、ガイドさんや現地スタッフとのバレーボールを楽しめました。
現地スタッフが作ってくれた昼ご飯（ハンバーガー）を食べ、ウミガメウォッチです。船上からですが、3～5匹ほど見ることができました。
その後は1時間ほどのシュノーケリングで、まれにウミガメを見ることができるそうですが、今回は見ることができませんでした。ただ、魚がいろいろと群がっており、あっという間に時間は過ぎていきました。

費用対効果の高いツアーだと思います。

I didn't check the local tide chart, and the shuttle bus got caught in an accident-related traffic jam, which caused us to arrive at the port a bit late. As a result, the tide wasn't as low as I had imagined for walking on the sandbar, and the sandbar was submerged up to my knees. I was a little disappointed because I wanted to explore the sandbar. It seems that if you want to get onto the sandbar, it's best to check the tide chart and make a reservation. That said, the BBQ hamburger was exquisite. So delicious. The homemade ketchup and mayo sauce combined with the hamburger were just perfect, and it was worth eating just that. My whole family, including my kids (one girl and one boy, both in elementary school), had double burgers with double patties. The weather was bad, but we saw three sea turtles, and snorkeling in the clear ocean was amazing. My kids and I had plenty of fun just snorkeling. If the weather had been good, it would have been perfect!

現地の潮位表を確認しなかったのに加え、送迎バスも事故渋滞にはまって港に到着するのが少し遅れたこともあって、イメージしたサンドバーで砂洲の上を歩くような潮位にはならず、砂洲は膝下に水没した状態でした。砂洲を散策したかったので少し残念。砂洲にあがりたければ潮位表を確認して予約するのが良いみたい。とは言え、BBQのハンバーガーは絶品。うまい。自分で作るケチャップとマヨのソースとハンバーグがばっちりgoodでこれだけでも食べる価値有り。子供ともども家族全員パテダブルのダブルバーガーにしてもらいました。天候が悪かったけどウミガメは３匹見られたし、透明度の高い海でのシュノーケリングは最高。子供（女×１、男×１、ともに小学生）ともどもシュノーケルだけでも充分楽しめました。天気が良かったら最高だったのにな～。

I was able to see dolphins. The crew on board, including the captain, skillfully found a pod of dolphins and guided us into the water. I thought they would be further out at sea, but I was surprised to find them closer to the shore. While in the water, wearing snorkeling goggles, we were signaled to "look down!" However, rather than looking straight down, we needed to look ahead at a shallow distance to see the dolphins. During that time, some people in our group couldn't see anything and the dolphins swam away without them getting a glimpse.

While it says "you can swim with dolphins," it seems that the dolphins do not come close to you. The experience felt more like watching a pod of dolphins from the water. If you want to swim with them, I think you would have a more enjoyable time at a seaside park. Additionally, repeatedly getting in and out of the water can be a bit tough for elderly people and small children, especially since the boat isn't very large.

After the dolphin experience, we moved to another location for snorkeling. We spent about 40-50 minutes there. The crew worked hard to provide us with slides and kayaks, and we were able to see sea turtles.

Lastly, I won’t mention names, but one Japanese female crew member who was with us from the pickup was quite disappointing. She was in training, and perhaps it was her first day, as she kept saying things like "I don’t know how to say in Japanese!" and "It's super amazing!"—phrases that are not commonly used in Japanese customer service. Although she played a video with safety instructions, her conversations with senior crew members and the cameraman about her dog and husband (some of which were quite vulgar, mixing Japanese and English) were distracting, making it hard to hear the video. I also wondered about the senior male crew member who didn’t intervene.

I would have preferred if such conversations were held after the tour. It seems they assumed that the Japanese participants wouldn’t understand English, but among those who attended that day, we exchanged glances, thinking, "That person is saying something incredible..." Since most of the participants were Japanese, I wished they had shown a bit more consideration.

イルカは見る事ができました。
船長さん含む船上クルーの皆さんは、慣れた様子でイルカの群れを見つけ、私達を海に入れてリードしてくれました。沖の方にいるのかと思っていましたが、意外に沿岸部にいて驚きでした。海の中では、シュノーケルのゴーグルを付けていて、look down ! 下見て！の合図で下を見るのですが、真下というよりは、前方で、浅く遠くを見ないとイルカは見えません。そうしている間に何も見えずイルカが去ってしまい、全く見られなかった人達も同じグループには数人いました。
”イルカと一緒に泳げる”とありますが、イルカは決して寄って来てくれるわけではないようです。感覚としては、海の中からイルカの群れを見る...という感じでしょうか。一緒に泳ぐならシーサイドパークの方が確実に楽しめるかと思いました。あと何度も海に入る、船に戻るを繰り返し、船も大きいわけではないので、高齢の方や小さい子供は少し辛いかもしれません。

イルカが終わったら、次は場所を移動してシュノーケリングをします。ここで40-50分過ごしました。滑り台やカヤックを出してくださり、ウミガメを見たりとクルーの皆さんはとても頑張ってくださいました。

最後に、お名前は控えますが送迎から一緒の日本人女性クルーが、とても残念な感じでした。
研修中との事でしたが、たぶんその日が初日だったのでしょうか、説明中は、I don’t know how to say in Japanese ! や、超すごいんでぇ！などとあまり日本人の接客では使わない言葉を連発し、「注意事項のビデオを流すので、よく見てください」と流したものの狭い車内の中で、彼女は先輩クルーやカメラマンに、ご自身の犬や旦那様(一部かなり下品な内容を日本語と英語を混ぜて話されていて不快極まりないです)の話、今日これ終わったらうちに遊びに来ない？などと、積極的に話しかけ、その声が邪魔になりビデオの音声なんて聞こえませんでした。それを注意しない先輩男性クルーもどうなのか...。
そういうお話は業務中でなく、終わっかてからしていただきたかったです。ツアーに参加する日本人は全く英語がわからないと思われているのでしょうが、その日に参加した人達の中で、「あの人、すごい事話してるね...」と顔を見合わせていましたよ。日本人参加者がほとんどのツアーなのですから、もう少し配慮をしていただきたかったです。

I might have needed to mention this beforehand, but if I was expecting a title like "Enjoy the Ranch with a Course That Suits You," there was no level check or inquiry about my preferences; it was just a slow, straightforward walk.

事前に言っておかなければならなかったのかもしれませんが、「あなたに合ったコースで牧場を満喫」というタイトルを期待していたら、レベルチェックも希望を聞かれることもなく、ただ淡々とゆっくり歩くだけでした。

My son and I just did the 90 minute scenic tour. It was his first time and it was absolutely fantastic! The whole trail was very smooth and the view was breathtaking like no other. Our wranglers were very knowledgeable about the trail and very attentive. My son who is 8 absolutely enjoyed the ride and had no problem riding this trail. Definitely a ‘must activity’ at Gunstock Ranch!

Since I was planning to go to the North Shore in the afternoon, I chose this plan without a shuttle service. I arrived by rental car, and although there was no bench at the meeting point "Deli," the local staff were accommodating, so it wasn't a problem. I was worried about whether the tour would proceed due to the rain in the morning, but we only experienced a delay in preparation because of the rain, and we departed 15 minutes later with two boats. Everyone was Japanese, and it seemed that many participants were those who had taken the shuttle from Waikiki. Perhaps there was a Japanese-speaking guide. Despite the rain getting stronger at times, I didn't feel seasick, and we were able to see both sea turtles and manta rays. The water at Sandbar was about knee-deep, but I was very satisfied that we could land there. I didn't have high expectations for snorkeling, but there were life jackets available, so it was completely fine even if you couldn't swim. There were about 40 people swimming in lines along the coral reef, and since the time was limited and we swam the same route back and forth, it was crowded. My child was more concerned about bumping into the feet of the person in front or hitting the coral rather than looking at the fish, so it might have been better to wait on the boat. The participants were obedient to the instructions of the two Japanese female staff members, but one was kind while the other couldn't hide her condescending attitude. At the very beginning, when assigning guests to the boats, it seemed they didn't grasp the number of people who weren't participating via the shuttle bus, or perhaps their Japanese was actually limited. They acted arrogantly as if there were customers boarding without permission after exceeding the boarding limit, and after a debate about what was said, one of them yelled in Japanese, "Isn't it enough to just apologize?!" and then continued to assert herself in English towards her busy colleague, treating us as if we were completely at fault, which made for a rather strange experience in Hawaii. If there were English speakers present, that behavior wouldn't have happened. However, I have great respect for the local staff who worked hard without showing any displeasure in the rain. It seems there are no showers at the port, so I think it's better to prepare to return in wet swimsuits with towels and warm clothing. You can leave your belongings on the boat, but since there are no waterproof bags, it's also good to prepare for that.

午後にノースショアへ行く予定だったので、送迎ナシでこのプランを選びました。レンタカーで到着し、集合場所の「Deli」のベンチはなかったですが、現地のスタッフが対応してくれて問題なかったです。朝から雨で催行されるのか不安でしたが、雨で準備が遅れただけで二船で１５分後に出航しました。全員日本人で、ワイキキからの送迎による参加の方が多かったようです。もしかしたら日本語ガイド付きだったのかもしれません。ときおり強くなる雨の中、酔う事もなく、ウミガメもマンタも見られて、サンズバーは膝ぐらいでしたが、上陸出来て大満足です。シュノーケリングはあまり期待してなかったのですが、ライフジャケットがあり、泳げなくても全然大丈夫です。４０人ぐらいでサンゴ礁に沿って数列で泳ぐ形でしたし、時間も限られ往復同じ経路を泳ぐため混みこみで、前の人の足があたるか、サンゴに足が当たるかに気をとられ、魚を見るよりそちらを気にして子供は怖がっていました。船で待っていても良かったかもしれません。参加者の皆さん、素直に二人いる日本人？女性スタッフの言うことに従っておられましたが、一人は親切、一人は上からな態度が隠せないスタッフでした。最初どちらの船に客を割り振るかの時点で、送迎バスで参加していない人の人数を把握していないのか、日本語が実は不自由なのか、乗船制限を超えて割り振った挙句、勝手に乗り込んでいる客がいるかのように横柄に振る舞い、言った言わないの水かけ論の後、謝ればいいんでしょ！と日本語でわめき、その後も忙しく準備している同僚に対し英語で自己主張し、こちらに全部非があって、完全に変な客扱い・発言で、ハワイに来て違った意味で興味深い体験でした。英語圏の人がいたらあの振る舞いはないでしょうね。でも雨の中嫌な顔一つ見せず頑張っていた現地スタッフの方たちの働きには頭が下がりました。港にはシャワーがない様子なので、タオルや防寒具など濡れた水着のまま帰る準備をしておいた方が良いと思います。荷物は船に残しておけますが、防水バッグ等はないのでそちらの準備もしておくと良いです。

I definitely want to participate again! It was great to see dolphins and turtles up close. The instructors were all fun, and I enjoyed the travel time as well. This became my favorite memory from my 7-day trip to Hawaii, and I want to recommend it to my friends and participate again.

After snorkeling, I had a great time playing on the slide and dancing with the staff. Everything was wonderful. The day I went was sunny, but it got a bit chilly when I was in the shade after coming out of the water. Since it was an early morning tour, I still had time to play in the ocean afterward. The photo and video sales were about 10,000 yen for one family. They also sold trainer T-shirts on the bus. Thank you to the staff for a fun half-day!

‼️とにかく 又参加したい‼️
間近でイルカ 亀に会えて とても良かったです。
インストラクターの皆さんも楽しい方ばかりで移動時間も楽しめました。今回のHawaii5泊7日の中で1番の楽しい思い出になり 友達にもススメたいし 又 もう一度参加したいです。
シュノーケリング後 滑り台で遊んだりする時間
スタッフさんとダンスする時間 全部良かったです。僕が行った日は晴れていたのですが 海から上がって陰に居たら寒かったです。朝早くのツアーなので 帰ってからも海で遊ぶ時間ありました。写真・ビデオ販売が希望者には1家族で1万円程でした。トレーナー Tシャツ販売 バス内であります。楽しい半日スタッフさんありがとうございました。

I was worried about oversleeping with an early departure, but they even gave me a morning call. During the boat ride to where the dolphins were, our Japanese guide, Miu, and the crew were all cheerful and made it enjoyable. The dolphins swam close by, and we also got to see turtles up close!

The sea water was a bit cold, but the weather was nice, so I was able to enjoy snorkeling, the slide, and paddleboarding comfortably. The hamburger was delicious too!

I made the best memories on the last day of my stay in Hawaii. I'm really glad I participated!!!

朝早くの出発で寝坊しなかと心配でしたが、モーニングコールの電話もして頂けました。ボートに乗ってからイルカのいるところまでの移動では日本人ガイドのみうさんはじめ、クルーの方がみんな明るく盛り上げてくれ楽しめました。イルカも近くで沢山泳いでくれ、カメも近くで見れました！！
海の水は少し冷たかったけど、お天気もよかったのでシュノーケリングや滑り台やパドルも気持ちよく楽しめました。ハンバーガーも美味しかったです～
ハワイ滞在最終日で一番いい思い出ができました。参加してほんとによかったです！！！

I searched for Hawaii OP and decided on VELTRA after reading various reviews. From the reservation stage, I felt well taken care of, and I was glad I chose VELTRA.

The morning meeting was quite early, but they provided a wake-up call, and the staff member Miyu was very pleasant and guided us throughout the day.

As for the tour itself, all the staff provided a wonderful Hawaiian hospitality experience, which was fantastic. Of course, we were thrilled to see dolphins and honu ❤️ My husband jumped into the sea and within five minutes, he cramped up in both legs and had to signal for help, and the staff came to his rescue. They were lifesavers. The weather was perfect, but the seawater was a bit cold, and since the bus had air conditioning on the way to and from the site, I think a jacket is necessary. For lunch, snacks like pineapple and hamburgers were provided, but if you're a big eater, I recommend bringing some light snacks besides bananas. I'm really glad I participated.

Hawaii OPを探して あちこちの口コミを見て読んでVELTRAさんに決めました。予約の段階から気持ちの良い対応をして頂き VELTRAさんに決めて良かったと感じました。
朝の集合かなり早かったですがモーニングコールもしてもらい スタッフさんの未優ちゃんが とても気持ち良く 1日を案内してくれました。
肝心なツアーですが スタッフの皆さん とてもハワイアンなおもてなしで 最高でした。勿論 イルカ・ホヌも見れて感激❤️ 夫が海へ飛び込み5分で両脚がツリ すぐにリタイアサインを送り スタッフさんに助けてもらいました。命の恩人です お天気は最高に良かったですが 海水少し冷たく行き帰りのバスは冷房が効いているので上着は必要だと思います。ランチにスナック パイナップル ハンバーガーが出ますが大食いな方はバナナ以外の軽食持参した方がよろしいかと…。参加して良かったです。

It was my first time at the sandbar, and the guide provided thorough explanations, making it a very enjoyable experience. I was also lucky enough to swim with a sea turtle! The timing and weather weren't great, and the water was up to my thighs, so I would like to go again in the summer!

初めてのサンドバーですが、ガイドの方も色々丁寧に説明して下さりとても楽しめましたし、運良くウミガメと泳ぐこともできました！時期と天候があまりよくなく太ももあたりまで海水があったので今度は夏に行きたいと思います！

The staff also played with us, and although we didn't leave the sandy area, we had plenty of fun. The burger meat at lunch was the most delicious I had among all the food I tried in Hawaii. During snorkeling, we saw a turtle among the corals, which scared the kids, but it was an impressive experience.

スタッフの方々も一緒に遊んでくれて砂地は出て行かなくだけどたっぷり遊べました。
特にお昼のバーガーのお肉がハワイで色々食べた中で一番美味しかったです。
シュノーケリング中にもサンゴの中から亀がいて子供達は怖がってたけど感動しました。

Unfortunately, the weather was cloudy and cold on the day of the tour, which made the conditions less than ideal, but I thought the tour itself was very good. I can only imagine how much fun it would have been if it had been sunny!

Despite the weather bringing everyone's spirits down a bit, our guide Yuki's bright enthusiasm really lifted the mood. She was amazing. Looking back, I have nothing but good memories. I realized how much the experience can change depending on the staff. (The day before, on a tour with another company, both the weather and the guide were quite gloomy and terrible.)

The travel time, time to play at the sandbar, time to observe sea turtles, and time for snorkeling were all perfectly balanced, making it a tour that never got boring. I would definitely like to participate again.

The air conditioning on the bus to the destination was freezing, but the driver didn't turn it off. I hope this can be improved. On the way back, thanks to Yuki's help, it was comfortable. Thank you.

残念ながら当日は曇天で寒くて、条件は悪かったのですが、このツアー自体はとてもいいと思いました。晴れていたらどんなに楽しかったことか！
天気のせいで皆のテンションも下がり気味だったのに、ガイド役のyukiさんの明るい頑張りで、盛り上げてもらえました。すごい力量です。帰ってきてみればよい思い出ばかりです。スタッフさん次第で、ずいぶん変わるものだと思いました。（前日別の会社のツアーは、天気と一緒にガイドも曇り顔でひどかったです）
移動時間、サンドバーで遊ぶ時間、ウミガメを観察する時間、シュノーケルをする時間、どれもちょうどよく、飽きないツアーでした。また是非参加したいです。
行きのバスのエアコンが死ぬほど寒かったのに、ドライバーさんはオフにしてくれませんでした。改善してほしいです。帰りは、yukisanの口添えのおかげか快適でした。ありがとう。

The clouds were out, and the sea's transparency could have been a bit better, but the staff were cheerful and we had a great time. We played beach volleyball at the sandbar, and they taught us various photo poses and took lots of pictures, creating many wonderful memories! The hamburgers for lunch were very filling and delicious. My son was so satisfied that he even asked for a second helping. My daughter had an amazing experience when a sea turtle suddenly swam right in front of her while snorkeling, and I missed it, which I find quite envious. Thank you very much!

雲がでていて、海の透明度はもう少しでしたが、とにかくスタッフの皆さんが明るくて、楽しかったです。
サンドバーでビーチバレーをしたり、写真のポーズを色々教えてくれて撮ってくれて沢山の思い出をもらいました！ランチのハンバーガーは、とてもボリュームがあり美味しかったです。息子はなんとおかわりまてして大満足でした。
娘はシュノーケリングの際、突然目の前をウミガメが横切り最高だったようで、私は間に合わず羨ましい限りです。ありがとうございました！

It takes about two hours to get to Gunstock Ranch by taking The Bus number 55 from Ala Moana. After passing by Kualoa Ranch, you will find Gunstock Ranch further ahead. There is only a sign along the road, so I almost missed the bus stop at Kamehameha Hwy + Opp 56-155. After getting off the bus and walking down the road marked by the sign, I arrived at Gunstock Ranch, where I could hear cheerful voices from a children's swimming class.

I arrived quite a bit earlier than the check-in time, so I spent some time playing with the horses and goats. After listening to the safety instructions, I decided not to wear a helmet and signed a separate waiver form. About 30 minutes into the horseback riding, we reached a hill where we could see the surrounding scenery, and Grace and Chad, who guided us, took some photos for us. The staff were very friendly and helped my mother, who doesn't understand English at all and is inexperienced with horseback riding, feel comfortable. I had a fulfilling two hours riding along a path covered with jungle-like trees on a very friendly horse, an experience I don't usually get to enjoy. I definitely want to visit again.

アラモアナから55番のThe Busに乗ること約2時間、クアロア牧場を通り過ぎ、さらに行ったその先にGunstock Ranchがあります。道路沿いからは看板が立っているだけなので、バス停である、Kamehameha Hwy + Opp 56-155 というバス停をあわや見逃しそうに・・・　バスから降り、看板が立っている道を奥に進んでいくと、子供のスイミング教室から楽しそうな声が聞こえるGunstock Ranchにたどり着きました。
受付時間よりだいぶ早く着いてしまったので、馬やヤギと戯れながら時間を潰し、注意事項などを聞いて、私はヘルメットをかぶらないことにしたので、別途既定の用紙へサインをしました。乗馬を開始すること30分、あたりの景色を一望出来る丘の上にたどり着き、案内をしてくれたGraceとChadに写真を撮ってもらいました。とっても気さくなスタッフの方々で、英語が全くわからず乗馬にも不慣れな私の母をしっかりとリードしてくれました。ジャングルのような木々に覆われた道をとてもフレンドリーな馬と進む、普段味わえない充実した2時間を過ごすことができました。またぜひ訪れたいと思います。

We participated as a couple. Unfortunately, the weather was bad on the day, and it was very cold, so we couldn't stay in the sea for long. However, thanks to the staff's fun talks, we were able to have a great time. There was a beach volleyball net set up at the sandbar, and I think it would have been even more enjoyable on a warm day. We did snorkeling near the coral, and since it was shallow, we could see many fish up close. There were also families with small children participating, and the kids were able to enjoy themselves safely, so I recommend this activity for families!

夫婦２人で参加しました。当日は生憎のお天気でとても寒かった為、海にながく入っていることができませんでしたが、スタッフさんの楽しいトークのおかげでワイワイ楽しく過ごすことができました。サンドバーにはビーチバレーのネットが張ってあり、暖かい日であれば更に楽しかっただろうなぁと思います。シュノーケリングは珊瑚の近くで行い、浅かったため近くで沢山の魚をみることができました。小さいお子さんを連れた家族も参加されており、お子さんも安全に楽しめていたので家族で参加されるのもオススメです！

This was a great trip for my family! We did not get to see any dolphins but we got to see plenty of schools of fish and two sea turtles. The crew was excellent and made sure each and everyone of the guests had a great experience. Very patient with the kids and made it fun for them. Food was traditional Hawaiian meal and very good, with plenty of extra for seconds. Drinks were good too!

The weather was a bit bad and the wind was cold, but the staff were very kind and I was able to enjoy myself! The hamburger we had on the boat was delicious, and I thought it would be great to go again on a nice day. The snorkeling time was just right, and when I dove in, there were lots of fish, and I was able to swim with them, which was a wonderful experience! I wish I could have swum with a sea turtle, but I didn't happen to see one, so I want to try again next time! If I have the opportunity, I definitely want to participate again!☆

少し天気が悪く風が冷たかったですがスタッフの皆様もとても優しくて楽しめることができました！船の上でたべるハンバーガーも美味しくて次は天気が良い日にいけたら最高だな、と思いました^ ^ シュノーケルの時間もちょうど良くて潜ったらいっぱい魚がいて一緒に泳げてとてもいい時間が過ごせました！海ガメと一緒に泳げたら良かったけどたまたま会えなかったので次回また挑戦したいです！また機会がありましたら次回も絶対に参加したいです！☆

In March in Hawaii, it is the rainy season, so the morning of the event was cloudy. We set off hoping for a glimpse of sunshine. About ten minutes into the boat ride, we spotted a sandbar where the colors of the ocean changed like a gradient. The water level was just around knee height.

Since we had quite a bit of time, we were able to take plenty of photos, and some people were enjoying beach volleyball. After that, we enjoyed hamburgers made with meat grilled by the staff on the boat. They placed the meat and cheese on the buns, and we were free to top them with lettuce, tomatoes, and other vegetables. It was very delicious, and I was extremely satisfied!

Afterward, we moved a bit from the sandbar to go sea turtle watching. Unfortunately, there weren't many turtles, and we could only see a few, but we were able to witness the adorable moment when a sea turtle poked its head out of the water to breathe.

Although the weather was unstable and we couldn't see the scenery we had envisioned, I believe that if it had been sunny, we could have enjoyed beautiful views not only at the sandbar but also while snorkeling.

Despite the disappointing weather, I had a very enjoyable time. Thank you!

ハワイの３月は雨季ということもあり、参加日の朝は曇りでした。
晴れ間がのぞくことを期待しながら出発。船に乗ること10分ほどでグラデーションのように海の色が変わっているサンドバーが見えてきました。水位は丁度膝の辺り。
時間は割とあるので、存分に写真も撮れますしビーチバレーを楽しんでる方もいました。
その後はスタッフさんが船上で焼いて下さったお肉のハンバーガーを頂きました。バンズにお肉とチーズをのせてくれるので、その上に自分でレタスやトマトなど野菜を自由にトッピングする形でした。とても美味しく大満足！
その後サンドバーから少し移動して海ガメウォッチングを行いました。残念ながらあまりたくさんおらず、少ししか見ることができませんでしたが、海ガメが呼吸をするために海面から頭を出す可愛らしい瞬間を見ることはできました。

今回のツアーは天気が不安定で思い描いていた景色は見られませんでしたが、晴れていればサンドバーに限らずシュノーケリング時にもかなり綺麗な景色を見ることができると思います。

天気は残念でしたが、とても楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。ありがとうございました！

In the photos, it looked like the water was at ankle height, but when we actually went, it reached up to our waists. We didn't go snorkeling, so we were a bit bored while everyone else was snorkeling. There was also a pregnant woman who didn't get in the water, so I think she was even more bored. We did get to see a sea turtle!

写真では足首くらいのイメージだったが、実際行くと腰まで海がきていました。私たちはシュノーケリングをしませんでしが、皆んながシュノーケリングをしている間自由行動なので暇です。あと妊婦さんもきていましたが、海にも浸かっていなかったのでもっと暇だったと思います。ウミガメには会えました！

My husband and I loved captain bobs..!!! The whole crew was great and had such great energy. My husband and I will definitely be doing this again.
