All Reviews for Lunch & Breakfast Experiences

I have always dreamed of swimming with dolphins, so even though I was alone, I signed up!

The bus had the logo of Dolphins and You, making it easy to find. Once on the bus, I filled out a consent form on the iPad (in Japanese). We departed for the ocean to the west, about an hour from Waikiki. The bus was very clean and had a TV where we watched safety guides. They really make good use of travel time!

When we arrived at the port, there was a restroom break. There is also a restroom on the boat, but it's only for emergencies, so I recommend going beforehand. After receiving a wetsuit (USD 10.00), fins, and a snorkel mask, we boarded the boat! I was worried because it was windy that day, but the blue sky and blue ocean were so beautiful! Once we set off, I completely forgot about the wind and was super excited.

First, we searched for dolphins. The captain looked for them with his eyes. Once we spotted a pod of dolphins, we quickly got ready and jumped into the sea from the boat! I can swim, but since it was my first time snorkeling, I hesitated a bit... However, I felt safe with a life jacket on and the crew accompanying me. When I opened my eyes underwater, I saw the dorsal fins of the dolphins on the surface! And when I looked down, there was a pod of dolphins swimming gracefully beneath me!! I was so moved (*'▽').

Next, we set off for the second snorkeling spot, which was a paradise with sea turtles and tropical fish! It was amazing enough to swim with dolphins, but getting to swim with sea turtles too was just incredible~☆ Perhaps it was a backup plan in case we couldn't see dolphins. There, we enjoyed a boat slide and snorkeling. The sea turtles come up to the surface to breathe, so it’s important not to be directly in front of them, and the crew was strict about this for those who accidentally got too close. It’s impressive that this tour is eco-friendly and emphasizes nature conservation.

Eating burgers for lunch under the sun was the best! You could also choose your favorite mini chips. On the boat, the crew performed hula dances and let us go out on the captain's deck, providing great entertainment! Even as a solo traveler, they welcomed me as part of the 'ohana, which was reassuring. On the way back, they played the photos and videos taken that day, allowing us to relive the memories (they are also available for purchase).

I definitely want to do this again! The feeling of becoming one with the ocean is something everyone should try!

ずっと、イルカと泳ぐのが夢だったので、ひとりだったのですが申し込んじゃいました！

バスはDolphins and youとロゴが書いてあって簡単に見つかりました。バスに乗ったら、すぐにipadに書いてある同意書（日本語記載）を記入します。ワイキキから1時間くらいの西の海に出発します。
バスはとてもきれいで、TVつきでSafetyガイドなどを見ます。移動の時間も無駄にしないところがさすがですね！

港についたらトイレ休憩があります。ボートにもトイレはありますが緊急時のみ利用ということなので、あらかじめいっていくことをおすすめします。
ウェットスーツ（USD10.00）、フィン、シュノーケルマスクをもらったらボート乗船！
当日は風が強くて心配していましたが、ハワイならではの青い空、青い海！！
出発したら風のことなんて忘れてテンションあがりまくりでした。

まずは目的のいるか探し。キャプテンが肉眼で探します。いるかの群れをみつけたら、
急いで支度してボートから海へジャンプ！私は泳げるのですが、それでもはじめてのシュノーケリングだったのですこし尻込みしました。。。でも、ライフジャケットもつけていますし、クルーの人が一緒にきてくれるので安心しました。
そして海の中で目をあけると、水面にいるかの背びれが！そして、反対側を見ると自分のしたに
いるかの群れがすいすい泳いでいました！！顔を必死に水につけて凝視！
感動しました(*'▽')

次は第二のシュノーケリングスポットへ再出発。そこには、なんとウミガメと熱帯業のパラダイス！！イルカだけでも感動なのに、ウミガメとも泳がせてくれるなんて、素晴らしすぎる～☆
きっと、イルカが見れないときのための保険なのかもしれませんね。
そこでは、ボート滑り台とシュノーケリングをしました。
ウミガメは水面にあがって息継ぎをするので、真正面にいてはいけないらしく、クルーはたまたまいてしまったひとには厳しく注意していました。エコフレンドリーということで自然保護の照明をもらっているツアーならではで、さすがですね。

ランチのバーガーも太陽の下で食べるのは最高！ミニチップスも好きなものを選べます。
船上では、クルーがフラダンスをしたり、キャプテンデッキに出させてくれたり、
エンターテイメントが充実！ひとりでもオハナといって、受け入れてくれて心強かった～。
帰りのバスではその日とった写真やビデオを流してくれて余韻にひたれました。（購入も可能らしいです）

またリピートしたいです！海と一体化する感覚、皆様もぜひお試しあれ！

I participated in a morning plan that was not too strenuous since I have a one-year-old daughter. The timing felt just right and I didn’t think it was too short. There was a downpour at one point, but we were blessed with great weather at the sandbar. On the boat, I was comfortable in just a rash guard. The light snacks included simple sandwiches and drinks. We were able to see sea turtles, and my daughter was delighted. The staff was very considerate of the children, which made me feel safe participating! I recommend using a waterproof cover for your phone.

一歳の娘がいたので、あまり無理のない、午前中プランで参加しました。時間はちょうど良く短いとは感じませんでした。途中スコールが降ったりもしましたが、サンドバーではとてもいい天気に恵まれました。船の上はラッシュガード一枚で過ごせました。軽食は簡単なサンドウィッチとドリンクでした。ウミガメも見れ、娘も喜んでいました。スタッフの皆さんが子供にとても配慮してくれて、安心して参加できました！！携帯は水用のカバーをオススメします。

It was a trip to Hawaii with my parents and my three daughters, who are each married. Even my father, who couldn't go into the ocean, was happy to see sea turtles and manta rays. The local staff were very kind, and the lunch burgers were delicious, leaving us very satisfied ❤️

実家の両親とそれぞれ結婚した娘3人の5人でのハワイ旅行でした。
海には入れない父もウミガメやマンタに会えて喜んでました。現地のスタッフさんもとても親切で、ランチのハンバーガーもとてもおいしく、大満足でした❤️

The tides can vary, so there might be some unpredictability, and it seems we hit the highest tide, which felt more like swimming in a shallow area than at a sandbar. It's hard to predict these things, and I felt a bit disappointed. However, the hospitality from the staff, including the explaining lady and the foreign staff members, was exceptional. If the sand had been visible and we had the same staff for this tour, I believe it would have been the best experience in Hawaii. Since we can't control the weather and nature, I recommend that those with a longer travel itinerary check the tides before going.

潮の満ち引きによりあたりはずれがあるのでしょうが一番満潮にあたってしまったようで、サンドバーというよりは浅瀬で泳いだという感じでした。
なかなか予測はできないのでしょうが、残念な気がしました。
ところが説明のお姉さんや外人のスタッフの方のおもてなしは半端ではなく、もし砂も見えてこのツアーの同じスタッフだったら最高のハワイの体験になったと感じました。
天候や自然の事は操作はできないので、ある程度旅行の日程が長い方は潮の満ち引きを調べてから行くのをお勧めします。

I really enjoyed the 2 hour guided kayak tour with Tomo. As we were just three in our group we made faster progress than normal so Tomo took us for a visit to Lanikai beach first before we continued on to Flat Island. I enjoyed the walk on the island as Tomo told us lots of interesting facts about it. Time flew by and too soon we had to return to the beach. I definitely recommend this tour even to newcomers and Tomo was a great guide to have.

I went snorkeling in the ocean for the first time, and although it was a bit difficult to breathe due to my age, it was an incredibly moving experience. I especially recommend it for younger people! I think the experience of encountering dolphins, fish, and turtles up close is unforgettable. There were elementary school children participating as well, and I believe it's excellent for emotional education. We had our meal on the boat on the way back, and since it was an early morning, I was very hungry. The meal was a hamburger (BBQ = they grill the hamburger meat for you), so if you don't have to worry about seasickness, it's better to eat well. The staff were all very cheerful and kind, making it a fun time.

初めて足の届かない海でシュノーケリングしました、年齢的に少々息が苦しかったですがとても感動的でした。特に若い方にはお勧めです！間近でイルカや魚、カメに出会えるなんて体験は忘れることができないと思います。小学生の子供さんも参加されてましたが情操教育に最高だと思います。食事は帰りの船上でです朝が早いのでとてもおなかがすきました。食事といってもハンバーガーなので（ＢＢＱ＝ハンバーガーの肉を焼いてくれる）船酔いの心配がない方はシッカリ食べていかれたほうがよいですよ。スタッフさんもとても愉快で親切な方ばかりで楽しいじかんでした。

Unfortunately, we couldn't see the beautiful scenery like in the photos due to the rain. However, we were able to spot sea turtles from the boat. Since we were on the mountain side, it's understandable that the weather can change quickly, but I want to try again on a sunny day.

あいにくの雨で写真のような綺麗な景色は見れませんでした。船の上からウミガメの姿は見ることができました。山側なので天気が変わりやすいのは仕方ないですが次は晴れの日にリベンジしたいです。

This time I participated in a short course, but when I got there, I wished I had chosen a slower-paced course. I think it's better to choose a course where you can take your time.

今回は短時間のコースに参加しましが、行ってみるともっとゆっくり出来るコースにすればよかったと＞＜　参加の際はゆっくり出来るコースがいいかと思いますよ

We were both complete beginners, but we participated without a guide. When going without a guide, there are no lessons on paddling or anything like that. After watching a video and putting on the life jackets, we were given the kayaks and had to make our way to the sea on our own. My husband and I managed to reach the uninhabited island, but I recommend going with a guide for first-timers.

The sea was incredibly beautiful, and the view from the uninhabited island was amazing. During our free time, we borrowed snorkeling gear and had fun. It seems my husband has become quite fond of kayaking. Everyone at the shop was very nice, so I would love to participate again if I get the chance.

夫婦揃って全くの初心者でしたが、ガイドなしで参加しました。ガイドなしの場合、漕ぎ方などのレッスンはありません。ビデオ見て救命具着けたらカヤックが渡され、自力で海まで行きます。主人と2人で何とか無人島まで行くことは出来ましたが、初めての方はガイドありをお勧めします。
海はとっても綺麗で、無人島からの眺めも最高でした。空いた時間にはシュノーケルを借りて遊びました。主人はカヤックにはまった様です。ショップの方は皆さん良い方だったので、また機会があれば参加したいです。

Even though it's called turtle watching, you only see turtles occasionally floating from the board. I thought we would go to the sandbar at high tide, but the water was up to my chest, which was completely different from what I expected. In the end, snorkeling was included, but there wasn't a single fish, and with a group of 60 people splashing around, you couldn't even see underwater. I later heard that there are no fish in Hawaii in October. So why did they offer snorkeling? It was completely not worth the price. I'm very dissatisfied.

ウミガメウォッチと言ってもボードからウミガメが時々浮いているのを見るだけ。満潮の時にサンドバーに行くのかと思えば、胸のあたりまでで水があり、全く期待と違った。あげくにシュノーケリングが入っていたが
魚一匹おらず、60人もの団体でバシャバシャ泳ぐため海の中すら曇って見えない。後で聞いたら、10月ハワイは魚がいないとのこと。ではなぜシュノーケリングをさせたのか？全く料金に見合わない。とても不満。

Since it was an early morning trip, I was told that a wetsuit would be better, but the weather was so nice that I think it wasn't necessary. The dolphins were quite close to the shore, and we made our first dive a little way out on the boat. I was moved as the dolphins swam right underneath me and leaped a little ahead.

For the second dive, we went to a spot where turtles are often found. The water was clearer here, and there were many beautiful fish, making it very pretty. It felt like looking at an aquarium tank. I was also able to see the turtles right in front of me, which was amazing! It was great to have free time with people returning to the boat, playing on the slide, and snorkeling. I spent the whole time snorkeling, but I wish I had played on the slide as well. The light snack hamburger also had a homemade feel and was delicious. All the staff were friendly, and it was a very enjoyable time. Since it was an early morning trip, I had the whole afternoon free. I was blessed with good weather, and it became a wonderful memory. I definitely want to participate again when I come back to Hawaii. Thank you very much.

早朝の便だったので、ウェットスーツがあった方がいいとのことでしたが、天気がとても良かったのでなくてもよかったなと思いました。
イルカは結構陸の近くにおり、船で少し行ったところで最初のダイブをしました。イルカが自分の真下を通ったり、少し前を飛んだりと感動しました。
二度目は、カメがよくいる所でダイブしました。こちらの方が海の透明度も高く綺麗な魚がたくさんおり、とても綺麗でした。まるで水族館の水槽を見ているようです。カメも目の前で見ることができ、感動です！船に戻る人、滑り台等で遊ぶ人、シュノーケリングをする人と自由時間があって良かったです。私はずっとシュノーケリングをしていたのですが、滑り台等でも遊べば良かったなと思いました。軽食のハンバーガーも手作り感があり美味しかったです。スタッフの方々皆さんノリが良くとても楽しい時間でした。早朝の便だったので、午後は丸々使えます。天気にも恵まれ、最高の思い出となりました。またハワイに来た際は、是非参加したいと思います。ありがとうございました。

Kayaking on the ocean with Kailua Beach Adventures might be one of the best activities we did for our honeymoon. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the area and give us some great information about the culture and islands.

My husband and I both have done kayaking before, but has never done it in the ocean. There were some waves and it can be a little challenging for those who have never done kayaking before.

One thing to be prepared is some labour work. You need to drag your own kayak to the ocean with a cart they provide. You also need to drag it back. It was not super far, but definitely energy consuming. Most staff members are very friendly. I had a little hard time jumping into the kayak with the waves, the person looked a little annoyed with that and had a bad attitude. She might just be having a bad day.

During the kayak, they have professional photographers taking photos of your group and you can purchase them at the end of your tour for $39. There were about 40 in the package. The lunch coupon gives you three or four lunch choices nearby. Mostly box lunches or pizza with a drink.

I forgot one of my my shopping bags at their shop and called them the next day, they had it sent to my hotel, which was very nice!

We had an overall wonderful experience. We will definitely do it again given the chance!

The driver wearing a blue T-shirt that said "Captain Bob" was supposed to guide us in both English and Japanese, but in reality, it was a large man in a gray tank top who was very tanned and could hardly speak Japanese (・_・;). However, I was relieved that the guidance on the boat was provided entirely in Japanese by "Yuki-san."

When my son got stung by a jellyfish (?), he kindly helped with cooling treatment and explained how to handle it afterward. The hamburger for lunch was also delicious (⌒∇⌒).

During my first snorkeling experience, I was a bit flustered, but he kept asking from the boat, "Are you okay?" which reassured me (I might have looked like I was drowning, lol). I saw sea turtles several times, but unfortunately, I couldn't swim with them. (However, it seemed like others on the opposite side were able to swim with them.)

The sandbar was beautiful, and if I ever go to Hawaii again, I would love to visit this place once more.

「’’Captain Bob’’と書かれた青いTシャツを着ているドライバーがツアー名を英語と日本語でご案内します。」と、案内には書かれてましたが、実際にはグレーのタンクトップを着た、めっちゃ日焼けをしてる日本語がほとんど話せない大きな男性でした(・_・;)
しかし、船での案内は「ユキさん」が終始日本語で安心しました。
息子がクラゲ（？）に刺されたときも、心配してくださってクーリングの処置と、その後の対処法を教えてくれました。
ランチのハンバーガーも美味しかったです(⌒∇⌒)
初のシュノーケリングで、バタバタしてる私に船の上から「ダイジョーブデスカー？」と声を何度もかけてくださり、安心しました（溺れてるように見えたかもｗ）
ウミガメは何度も見られたのですが、残念ながら一緒に泳ぐことはできなかったです。
（でも、反対側で泳がれていた方々は一緒に泳げたようです）

サンドバーが綺麗で、またハワイに行くことがあれば、もう一度行ってみたい場所でした。

We were picked up in front of the hotel at 5:30 AM. I felt reassured that about 70% of the participants were Japanese. Moreover, more than half of them were also on their honeymoon and congratulated us. We listened to the instructions in English and Japanese on the bus. After a short boat ride from Port Harbor, thanks to E ho mai, we spotted a pod of dolphins and even encountered a sea turtle while swimming. Since we met the dolphins and sea turtles right away, we were able to enjoy stand-up paddleboarding, trampolines, and slides. It was a pity that there was only one kayak, so only a few people could experience it. The food included homemade cheeseburgers, chips, pineapple, and drinks, all of which were very delicious. The crew was cheerful, and they made the tour very enjoyable with hula dancing and funny stories. It was a bit pricey, but I would like to participate again. The Dolphin & You tattoo sticker was very cute and reminded me of the fun time even after returning to Japan.

朝５時半にホテル前でピックアップ。参加者は、日本人が７割くらいで安心しました。また、半数以上が私たちと同じハネムーンの人で祝福してくれました。バスの中で英語と日本語で注意事項を聞きました。ポートハーバーから船で少し行くと、E ho maiのおかげからか、イルカの群れを発見、泳いでいるとウミガメにも会えました。すぐにイルカ・ウミガメに会えたので、スタンドアップパドルボードや、トランポリン、滑り台を楽しむことができました。カヤックは一台しかなかったので一部の人しか体験できなかったのが残念でした。食べ物は、手作りのチーズバーガー、チップス、パイナップル、飲み物をいただきました。どれもとても美味しかったです。クルーの人も陽気な人ばかりで、フラダンスや、面白い話で場を盛り上げてくれてとても楽しいツアーでした。少し高いですが、また参加したいと思いました。ドルフィン＆ユーのタトゥーシールがとてもかわいく、日本に帰ってからも楽しかった時間を思い出せました。

I want to say that the weather on the day of participation was great, but the sand was up to my waist... The hamburgers were excellent, and the Japanese crew was very friendly, so I would like to participate again next time.

参加日は天候に恵まれ最高と言いたいところですが砂浜が腰のあたりまで・・・ハンバーガーが絶品だったし日本人のクルーが凄く感じ良かったので次回も参加したいと思います

Although it rained a little at times, we had a wonderful experience at the beach. During snorkeling, we even saw a sea turtle swim right in front of us.

My wife got stung by a jellyfish, but we were still very satisfied.

時々雨もぱらつきましたがとてもいい海を体験することができました。
シュノーケリングでは目の前を海亀が通過する所も見られました。

クラゲがいた為、嫁さんが刺されちゃいましたが、それでも大満足です。

This time, I participated with my 61-year-old mother and 33-year-old daughter (myself). The activity is a meet-up at the location, but it's far from Waikiki, so if you don't have a rental car, you'll need to take a taxi or find another way to get there. I drove the rental car for about 50 minutes, as there was some traffic along the way. The road at the end is an unpaved gravel road, and since there are no signs along the way, it can be a bit unsettling.

As for the horseback riding, at our 9 AM reservation, there were five other customers (two groups of two and one group of one) besides us, but those five formed one group, while we were in a separate group with one instructor for the two of us. The five-person group had a photographer with them who took pictures while they moved (we did not have a photographer).

All the explanations were in English, but they taught the basic movements with gestures, so even if you don't speak English, you'll manage. Also, during the actual horseback riding, the horses are smart, so even if you don't perform the instructed movements, the horses will keep moving along, so you'll be fine as long as you're on the horse.

It's a one-hour course, and we were able to enjoy Hawaii's nature by going through the forest and to places where we could see the ocean. If I had to wish for something, I think it would have been even more fun if the horses had a bit more speed, but overall, I was satisfied with the experience.

今回、61歳の母と33歳の娘(私)の2名で参加しました。
こちらのアクティビティは、現地集合なのですがワイキキからは遠いので、レンタカーを借りていない場合はタクシーで行くなどの方法になります。私は途中渋滞もあった為、レンタカーを50分程運転して行きました。道は最後だけ舗装されていない砂利道を通るのですが、途中に看板などが無い為、少し不安になります。

肝心の乗馬ですが、私達が予約した9時にはお客さんが私達以外に5人(2人、2人、1人のグループ)いましたが、その5人で1グループ、私達は2人にインストラクターが1人つく別グループでした。5人グループの方には、カメラマンがついていて写真を撮りながらの移動のようでした(私達の方にはカメラマンはいませんでした)。

説明は全て英語でしたが、ジェスチャーを交えて基本の動きを教えてくれるので、英語ができなくてもなんとかなります。また、実際の乗馬中は馬が賢いので、教えてもらった動作をしなくても馬がどんどん進んでくれますので、馬に乗っていれば大丈夫です。

1時間のコースですが、森の中や海が見える場所に行ったりと、ハワイの自然を満喫する事ができました。
欲を言えば、馬のスピードがもう少しあるとより楽しかったかなと思いますが、総合評価は満足でした。

I think the schedule will change quite a bit depending on whether the free time comes before or after kayaking. Since we had free time first, we were able to enjoy shopping and lunch at a leisurely pace. The pizza for lunch was surprisingly large, something you wouldn't see in Japan.

Kayaking can be moderately tiring depending on the wind, but for those who really can't do it, the guide will tow you, so I think even those who aren't confident in their physical strength will be fine.

The uninhabited islands and the sea are beautiful, and the guide's stories are enjoyable. I think it's a great tour packed with a lot in just half a day.

A waterproof case for your phone and camera is essential!

The guide was having so much fun that we almost missed the bus back, so I deducted one point for that.

カヤック以外のフリータイムが先になるか、後になるかでずいぶん予定が変わると思います。
私たちは先にフリータイムだったので、ショッピング、ランチ等ゆっくり楽しむ時間がありました。
ランチのピザは日本ではありえない大きさで驚きます

カヤックは風にもよりますが程よく疲れます。どうしてもできない方はガイドさんがけん引してくれるようなので体力に自信のない方も大丈夫だと思います。

無人島や海はきれいだし、ガイドさんの話も楽しいし、半日で盛りだくさんの良いツアーだと思います。

防水のケースに入れた携帯やカメラは必須です！

ガイドさんも一緒にぎりぎりまで楽しみ過ぎて帰りのバスが危なく乗り遅れるところだったのでマイナス１ポイントさせてもらいました

Great experience with people who really love their job. Absolutely wonderfully for couple looking to have a romantic day. Eye opening view of the ocean and coast line. "Lobeable"!

We had a great time on this tour. Dirk, the driver/tour guide gave us a lot of info. The tour was exactly as advertised plus we got to see some turtles at an extra stop. Lunch was Excellent. We would definitely do this again. Awesome! !!

It was a clear day, and we were able to see wild dolphins and sea turtles. There were plenty of activities like slides, trampolines, and crew dances, which made it a lot of fun. I bought a rash guard from Dolphin & You as a souvenir! It was my first time abroad, and it became a wonderful memory.

当日は快晴で野生のイルカやウミガメを見ることができました。
滑り台やトランポリン、クルーのダンス等盛りだくさんでとても楽しかったです。
記念にドルフィン＆ユーのラッシュガードを買いました！
初めての海外でしたがとても良い思い出になりました。

Not only I thoroughly enjoyed the sea and shopping this time, but also slightly different things wanted to do it and applied to this tour. I had not ridden a horse in Japan either and was the first experience of the throb.
When run on the shoreline of the north shore, and arrive; the place that is full of green far apart from the noise of Waikiki. There are not only the horse but also a chicken and the peacock.
A horse and the first meeting to be taken care of after arrival this time. Our fellow is Keahi and Ruby. I have gentle eyes having the rich mane. I have you teach how to get on at once and am a walk start. A guide walks the top and arrives in the next. I can take in the muscle of the horse whenever I step forward, and one step is very powerful. We stretch out the back not to break preparations and add it and the pace of the horse. The scenery from the horse is high and feels the comfortable wind. I might stop on the way, but walk the way with the pitch difference easily. I took a photograph at the good place of the scene. It was the experience that I could taste beautiful air and scenery in instant one hour, and was valuable.
A guide could tell neighboring restaurants and the recommended beach and was very kind. I want to recommend it to all of you by all means.

The optional tour I was looking forward to the most on this trip was amazing! I encountered dolphins and sea turtles multiple times, which was the highlight!

There were two snorkeling sessions: the first at a dolphin spot and the second at a sea turtle and tropical fish spot. After that, we had free time where we could continue snorkeling, relax on the boat, or play on the slide and water trampoline. We had so much fun!

The staff were all cheerful, and we enjoyed dancing together on the boat. The BBQ hamburgers were also very delicious.

I recommend bringing an underwater camera. Even as a beginner, I was able to take great photos! I can't mention other rental sites, but you can rent one in Japan for about 5,000 yen for a week, so definitely consider it!

今回の旅行でイチバン楽しみにしていたオプションツアー
イルカともウミガメとも何度も遭遇できて最高でした！

シュノーケリングは2回あって、1回目はイルカスポット、2回目はウミガメや熱帯魚スポット。
その後は自由時間でそのままシュノーケリングもよし、船でゆっくりもよし、滑り台や水上トランポリンで遊んでもよしと、めいっぱい遊べました！

スタッフもみんな陽気な方ばかりで、船上でダンスをして一緒に楽しみました。
BBQハンバーガーもとても美味しくいただきました。

水中カメラを持って行くのをオススメします。
素人でもしっかり撮れましたよ！
他のサイトの宣伝は書けませんが、日本で5000円出せば1週間程度レンタルできるのでぜひぜひ♪

We loved our tour but found we required more time before our scheduled entry into the theater. the tour was great and our driver was great also.....We think a bit more explanation should be made about the rules regarding bag storage and pick up procedures... we needed more time at Pearl Harbor and less time on the bus.. we did not require a city tour. We need more time in the exhibit areas.

On Saturday, October 8, 2016, my daughter and I challenged ourselves to horseback riding at Gunstock Ranch. We took the number 55 bus from the Ala Moana bus stop, heading straight to Gunstock Ranch.

The number 55 bus, which connects Ala Moana and Haleiwa on the North Shore, runs along the east coast of Oahu via downtown, allowing us to enjoy beautiful views of Kaneohe Bay and local beaches from the bus window.

Upon arrival, we signed a waiver given to us by a female staff member, stored our belongings, and got ready for horseback riding. We set off in a line of six, led by a handsome cowboy. It was smaller and less crowded than Kualoa Ranch.

The spacious ranch, blue sky, white clouds, and the deep blue sea stretching below— the scenery from horseback was breathtakingly beautiful! Since it was my first time riding, I was a bit scared at first, but I quickly got used to it and enjoyed the beautiful views and interaction with the animals.

For those with horseback riding experience, it might feel a bit lacking, but since the pace is leisurely, I think it’s just right for first-timers.

2016年10月8日土曜日、gunstockranchで娘と二人で、乗馬にチャレンジしました。アラモアナのバス停から55番バスに乗り、一路gunstock ranchへ。
アラモアナとノースショアのハレイワを結ぶ55番バスは、ダウンタウンを経由してオアフ島の東海岸沿いを走り、車窓からは美しいカネオヘ湾やローカルビーチの絶景を楽しむことができました。
到着すると女性スタッフに渡された誓約書にサインし、荷物を預けていざ乗馬。イケメンのカウボーイを先頭に6人の隊列で出発。クアロアランチよりもこじんまりとしていて、参加する人も少数でした。
広々とした牧場、青い空、白い雲、眼下に広がる紺碧の海ー。馬上から見る景色はこの世のものとは思えない美しさでした！初めての乗馬だったので、乗る時は少し怖かったのですが、すぐに慣れ、美しい景色と動物との触れ合いを楽しみました。
乗馬経験のある人には少し物足りないのかもしれませんが、のんびりと進んでいくので、初体験の方々にはちょうどいい内容なのではないかと思います。

The tour staff were all friendly, and the coordinator was an exceptionally cheerful and experienced Japanese woman. Her talks were entertaining, approachable, and cute. On the way to the snorkeling point, we saw a lot of manta rays and swimming sea turtles, and thanks to her engaging commentary, the time on the boat was not just a transfer but a really enjoyable experience. When we arrived at the snorkeling spot, I was able to swim quickly enough to go for another round, and during the second round, I spotted a sea turtle and was able to swim alongside it, which was truly moving! I wished I could have snorkeled for a longer time, but the snacks and hot tea after getting out of the water were perfectly seasoned and at just the right temperature, making them very delicious. I really felt that choosing this tour was a great decision! I highly, highly, highly recommend it!

ツアーのスタッフはみんな気さくで、仕切りのお姉さんはとびきり明るい日本人のベテランさん。トークは面白いし、親しみやすくて可愛い。シュノーケリングポイントに向かっている時、マンタの群れや泳いでいるウミガメをたくさん見かけたし、お姉さんのトークのおかげで、船上が単なる移動ではなくとても楽しい時間を過ごせました。ポイントに着いてシュノーケリングする時も、私は泳ぐのが早かったのでもう1周行かせて貰えたし、2周目の時にウミガメを見付けて一緒に泳ぐことが出来たので感動しました‼︎もっと長い時間シュノーケリングしたかったけど、海から上がった後のスナックとホットティーも塩加減やぬるめの温度が絶妙で、とても美味しかったです。今回はこのツアーにして本当に良かったと思いました！超超超オススメです！

Two years ago, we participated in a sandbar tour for the first time with my family, but due to the bad weather, it was too cold, and I regretted having to borrow a wetsuit and shivering on the boat. I wanted to see the amazing views again, so this time I joined with my daughter. Although the weather wasn't perfect, the scenery was much better than last time, and we were fortunate to encounter a school of manta rays, which is quite rare. I appreciated the timing of this trip. The relaxed atmosphere from the captain and the staff was great for us as repeat visitors.

The BBQ lunch we had on the boat was grilled directly by the captain himself, making for a perfect lunchtime while enjoying the views. It was delicious! After lunch, we went snorkeling and swam with beautiful tropical fish and turtles around the coral reefs.

Thank you to the Japanese staff member, Yukiko. I visit Hawaii every year, and I will definitely join the tour again next year!

２年前のお正月に家族で初めてサンドバーへのツアーに参加しましたが、天気も悪かったせいで、寒すぎてウエットスーツをお借りして、船の中で震えていたことが残念に思えていました。
最高の景色をもう一度見たくて、今回娘と二人で参加しました。
晴天とは言えなったのですが、前回よりも遙かに景色もよく、なかなか見ることのできない、マンタの群れに遭遇するなど、今回のタイミングに感謝でした。船長さんをはじめ、スタッフさんのラフな感じが２度目の私たちにはとてもよかったです。
船の中で食べたBBQランチは、船長さん本人がグリルで直接焼いてくれて、景色を眺めながら最高のランチタイムでした。美味しかったです！
ランチ後のシュノーケリングでは、サンゴ礁の周りにいるきれいな熱帯魚や亀と一緒に泳いだりできました。
スタッフの日本人女性ユキコ？さん、ありがとうございました。
毎年ハワイは行きますが、また来年もツアーに参加しますね～

We actually were locals to the islands but live in the mainland now. Wanted to see the sandbar. It was a great tour. Everyone on the boat ⛵️ from captain Ashley to everyone in her boat was awesome and super nice and accomandating. Would recommend anyone for this tour got to snorkel see and the sandbar. Food was pretty good to.

I was very satisfied with the crystal-clear sea. My spouse and I participated, and the staff took many photos for us at the sandbar, which we really appreciated (they suggested some very creative angles). The lunch we had on the boat was exceptional as well.

どこまでも透き通った海に大満足でした。夫婦で参加したのですが、サンドバーでスタッフさんがたくさん写真をとってくださり、ありがたかったです（とても凝ったアングルを指示してくださいました）。船の上でいただいたランチも格別でした。

I think there were no issues with the pick-up service. They came to pick us up at the hotel right on time. The weather was bad from the morning, and although it hadn't started raining yet, it was the coldest day in Hawaii. The explanation for snorkeling was longer than expected, and while we listened to it in the water, my husband and I were shivering, but we finally couldn't take it anymore and went back to the boat to drink some warm tea (laughs). The others also looked quite cold. By the time the return bus came to pick us up, it had started to rain quite a bit, which was disappointing, but I think it would be enjoyable if the weather is good. ★

送迎などは何の問題もなかったと思います。きちんと時間どうりにホテルへ迎えに来てくれました。朝から天気が悪く雨までは降っていなかったのですがハワイで一番寒い日でした。シュノーケリングの説明が思った以上に長く、海に浸かったまま話を聞くので主人と二人でぶるぶる震えながら頑張っていましたがとうとう耐え切れず船に戻ってあたたかいお茶をのんでいました（笑）ほかの方たちもかなりさむそうにしていました。帰りのバスが迎えに来る頃にはかなりの雨がふりだし、残念でしたが、天候さえよければ楽しめると思います★
