Oahu
The Pearl Harbor Heroes Adventure Tour brings a key pages from the 20th Century history to life. It is a excellent tour for people who have deep interest in history and those whose only brush with history is at the movies. The tour covers all the key points of interest at Pearl Harbor including the USS Arizona, USS Missouri, Pacific Aviation Museum and the USS Bowfin. Although it is a full day you will not have time to view all the sites in detail. One recommendation, tour the USS Bowfin before you venture in to the museum as you will not have time to do both. Overall this was money well spent and will probably do it again next time I visit Hawaii.
The staff on this cruise were very respectful and down to earth. They wanted to make sure you were comfortable at every moment. I would highly recommend this cruise to anyone, Any age. When we decide to visit Hawaii again in a few years this be on our to do list. I cant remember their names, But the man that played the guitar while we were on the sand bar was awesome. Def a people person with a big heart.
Thank you very much for your help this time!
Fortunately, the weather was clear, the water depth was shallow, and it became a great memory!
I would love to go again during the full moon's high tide...
Thank you to everyone who guided us so enjoyably!
今回は大変お世話になりました!
運良く快晴で、水深も浅く、いい思い出になりました!
満月の満ち潮のときに、また行ってみたいものです…。
楽しくガイドしてくださった皆様ありがとうございました!
I participated in a morning tour with a friend. The sandbar we aimed for had water levels up to about knee height since it was in the morning. I was impressed that the guide took photos for us without other people in the background.
As for snorkeling, we followed a designated course back and forth. There were many people, and it was quite crowded, so those with snorkeling experience might want to manage their expectations. Also, the shuttle bus had strong air conditioning, so I recommend wearing a hoodie or something similar.
午前中に終わるツアーに友人と2人で参加しました。
目的のサンドバーは午前中ということもあり、膝上くらいまで水位がありました。ガイドさんが他の人が写らないように写真を撮ってくださったのが印象的でした。
シュノーケルについては、決められたコースを往復しました。人が多く、行列状態で他の人とぶつかったりもするので、シュノーケル経験のある方はあまり期待しない方がいいと思います。
あと、送迎バスが結構冷房が効いてて寒かったのでパーカー等羽織って行く方がいいと思います。
Unlike the dolphin snorkeling activity from the day before yesterday, I was surprised to participate in this super beginner-friendly marine experience. The sandbar, just a few centimeters deep, was beautiful and perfect for taking photos. However, this tour, which ends in the morning, was a bit lacking in snorkeling. It felt like a guided exploration of the coral edges with a vibe similar to an elementary school camp. If you choose a plan that includes lunch, it seems there’s also some free snorkeling time at a different location. While it's appealing to return to Waikiki by noon, if you're focused on snorkeling, I recommend opting for the lunch barbecue option.
前々日のイルカのシュノーケリングのアクティビティと違い、超初心者用のマリン体験にびっくりしながら参加。膝上数センチのサンドバーは綺麗で写真を撮るには最高。ただし、午前中で終わるこのツアーは、シュノーケリングが、今ひとつ。まるで小学生の林間学校的なガイドの引率でサンゴの縁を探索するが、今ひとつ。昼食付きのプランだと、もう少し違う場所で自由なシュノーケリングの時間もあるらしい。昼にはワイキキに帰られるのは魅力だが、シュノーケリング重視で参加するなら、昼のバーベキュー付きをお勧めする。
It's a shame that I couldn't experience the beach in its full glory, perhaps due to the timing. On the other hand, it was incredibly lucky to see sea turtles. I want to participate again next time! It was fun.
本当は砂浜が浮き出ててる状態で体験出来なかったのが残念、時期的に不可能だったから?
その代りにウミガメが見れたのが最高にラッキーでした。次の機会にもう一度
参加したい!、楽しかった
I absolutely wanted to go to the island of heaven, and I signed up for this angelic sea. I'm glad we could make a reservation here for the same place we wanted to visit. I intended to speak in English, but the staff were so good at Japanese that before I knew it, I was speaking in Japanese. The local staff were very friendly, and it was a lot of fun. It was a tour that made me want to go again.
絶対行きたかった、天国の島??? がいっぱいで こちらの天使の海に申し込みしました。
行きたい場所は同じでこちらで予約が取れてよかったです。
英語でお話しているつもりがスタッフの方が日本語がとてもお上手で気づいたら日本語を話していました。
とってもフレンドリーな現地スタッフの皆さんでとても楽しかったです。
また行きたいと思わせてくれるツアーでした。
- The bus on the way there was very cold.
- It seems that certain conditions are needed for a complete sandbar, and this time the water was up to my knees.
- The guide was Japanese and very kind.
・行きのバスがとても寒かったです
・完全なサンドバーには条件が必要なようで、今回はヒザ下まで水がありました
(月に1、2回とか)
・ガイドさんは日本人でとても親切でした
Captain Bob experience was one of our highlights! We saw turtles , fish, snorkeled, good food, great crew. Will go again next year.
We were both quite nervous as it was our first time in Hawaii, but the crew was very cheerful and kind, making it an incredibly memorable experience! Since there were Japanese staff members, we didn't have any particular difficulties, and being newlyweds, we were able to take many wonderful photos (*´ ˘ `*)♡ I would love to participate again!
お互い初めてのハワイでかなりドキドキしていましたが、クルーの皆さんがとても明るくて優しくて、ものすごく良い思い出になりました!
日本人スタッフさんもいてくれているので特に何かに困ることは無かったし、新婚ということでたくさん素敵な写真を撮って頂きました(*´ ˘ `*)♡
何回でも参加したいと思います!
The sandbar felt shallow, possibly due to high tide, but during the subsequent sea turtle watch, we saw many sea turtles and manta rays! There were also plenty of sea turtles while snorkeling, and it was one of the most satisfying snorkeling experiences I've had. The staff was friendly, and since they provided a Japanese guide, I felt comfortable enjoying the activities. I definitely want to do this again next time.
サンドバーは満潮だったのか、浅瀬って感じでしたが、その後のウミガメウォッチではたくさんのウミガメと、マンタが見られました!
シュノーケリングの時も、たくさんウミガメがいて、今まで体験したシュノーケリングでもかなり満足できました。
スタッフの方も気さくで、日本語ガイドなので安心して遊べました。
また次回もやりたいです。
Whilst the weather is always a variable on these sort of trips it would seem that what we experienced was an average day. It was windy with a fair chop in some areas. Landing on the island for lunch was challenging and a number of boats capsized going through the confused surf (caused by waves come around both sides of the island). The staff were excellent, and there were no safety issues, but people with no or limited kayaking experience may find the trip daunting. The kayaks are very stable and the distance paddled was enough to give you some muscular reminders the following day if you haven't paddled for a while, but it is not excessive. There were no opportunities for snorkelling.
The trip is well worth doing but don't expect it to look like the photos on the brochure.
Thank you for your feedback, Simon! We are glad that you enjoyed our knowledgeable staff and the tour despite the more difficult conditions.
The weather was nice, the sea was beautiful, and I really enjoyed my first snorkeling experience. Also, the hamburger eaten on the water was exceptional and very delicious.
天気もよく、海もきれいで、初シュノーケリングもとても楽しめました。
また、海の上で食べるハンバーガーは格別でとても美味しかったです。
I have participated in other tours, but this tour was very relaxing and I think it would be enjoyable for families as well. It was a tour that makes you want to go again. I recommend it!
他のツアーに参加した事がありますが、今回のツアーはとてもゆったりとしていて家族で行っても楽しめると思います。また行きたくなるツアーでした。お薦めです!
I participated with my mother.
Among the many tours available, I chose this one because it offered a simple itinerary focused on the sandbar and snorkeling, along with two key points: "Japanese-speaking guide" and "BBQ lunch included."
Once we boarded the bus heading to Kaneohe Bay from the meeting point, the guide was a foreigner who knew a few words of Japanese (not fluent). The atmosphere on the bus was extremely high-energy, filled with American jokes, but only the English-speaking passengers were laughing. Many of the Japanese passengers, who made up 80% of the bus, felt left out... (sigh). I was worried that this person with broken Japanese was the "Japanese-speaking guide," but I felt relieved to find another Japanese staff member on the boat.
The Japanese-speaking female guide was energetic and great at engaging the group; she was very funny and kind! Her explanations were very clear, and as someone who lacks confidence in English, I was glad I chose a Japanese staff member. The other staff members were all locals, and although their Japanese was limited, they were friendly and kind. I was able to enjoy the experience comfortably throughout.
The sandbar we aimed for had water up to about my knees, but it was beautifully clear, and while some people were swimming, others were playing beach volleyball. I think everyone was able to enjoy themselves thoroughly. We were blessed with good weather, and we had plenty of time to relax on the sandbar. Although it was a large tour with two boats, we didn't feel crowded with other tours, and we were able to take beautiful photos!
Lunch was a BBQ on the boat! I didn't have high expectations since it was an option, but it turned out to be hearty and delicious! Freshly grilled hamburgers with a wonderful view! A pleasant breeze! The staff even sang while playing the guitar... it was truly the best moment! After that, we moved to see sea turtles together and even spotted a rare giant manta ray, which made us feel special when they said, "Today is your lucky day!"
The snorkeling point was filled with lots of fish, and I was thrilled to see colorful tropical fish right in front of me. My mother, who is over 60, was initially scared of snorkeling and planned to stay on the boat, but I took her to the water, and although she was scared and almost in tears, a staff member guided her with a floating stick, allowing her to swim comfortably throughout. She was able to see many beautiful fish up close, and I think it became a great memory for her. I appreciate the kind assistance, as I imagine guiding her underwater must have been tiring.
At the snorkeling point, we were lucky enough to swim close to a sea turtle, which became a very memorable experience. Like the sandbar, this was also a private spot just for our tour participants, so we could enjoy it without being crowded. I think we had about 45 minutes to an hour of snorkeling time. We thoroughly enjoyed our time in the water! After getting out of the sea, it was great to receive a warm drink to warm up my chilled body.
The only disappointing part was... when we boarded the bus for the return trip, there were somehow too many people, and there were no seats available. There were even empty seats on the way there, so why were there more people on the return trip? Were they not checking names properly before boarding? This remains a mystery... I was terrified thinking that we could have almost been left behind because the bus was full! This was a moment that made me realize the lack of organization compared to Japanese tours. I ended up feeling disappointed at the very end. (★-1) I also felt uneasy when the staff only took attendance in the morning and then left in the vehicle without saying anything... (after a while, a large bus arrived). Given that the tour itself exceeded my expectations, the handling during the meeting and the bus rides detracted from the quality of the tour.
I felt that the prices of tours have risen signific
母と2人で参加しました。
数あるツアーの中で、サンドバーとシュノーケリングに特化したシンプルなツアー内容であること、そして「日本語ガイド」「BBQランチ付き」の2点がポイントでこちらに申し込みました。
集合場所からカネオヘ湾へ向かうバスに乗り込むと、バス内でガイドしてくださる方はガチガチの外国人の方で、一言二言日本語を知っている(≠話せる)レベル。
バス内は超高いテンションで終始アメリカンジョークがさく裂していましたが、笑っているのは英語圏の方のみ。車中80%を占める日本人の多くは置いてけぼり状態‥(苦笑)
まさか、このカタコトの方が「日本語ガイド」??と焦りましたが、船には別の日本人スタッフの方がいてひと安心。
日本語ガイドの女性はテンション高く盛り上げ上手で、とーっても面白くていい方でした!
説明も大変わかりやすく、英語に自信がない私はやっぱり日本語スタッフを選択して正解でした。
その方以外の他のスタッフは皆 現地の方々でしたが、日本語はカタコトなものの、フレンドリーで優しくていい方ばかり。終始楽しく、安心して参加することが出来ました。
お目当てのサンドバーは膝下くらいの水位でしたが、底まで透き通って大変美しく、泳ぐ方もいればビーチバレーをする方々もいて、参加者各々が十分に楽しめたと思います。
お天気にも恵まれ、サンドバー上陸の時間も十分にとってくださり、マッタリと過ごすことが出来ました。
船2隻での大所帯ツアーでしたが、他のツアーの方と一緒になって混雑するようなこともなく、美しい写真もバッチリ撮れます!
昼食は船内でBBQランチ!オプションだからと期待していませんでしたが、これがまたボリューミーで美味しかった!
たった今焼いたばかりの出来立てハンバーガーに素晴らしい景色!気持ちいい風!スタッフの方がギター片手に歌まで披露してくれて‥まさに最高のひと時!
その後、移動して皆でウミガメを見たり、珍しい巨大マンタも目撃することができ「今日はラッキーだよ!」と言ってもらえて特別感もありました!
シュノーケリングポイントは本当にお魚がい~っぱいいる場所で、目の前にカラフルな熱帯魚がたくさんいて感激でした。
60歳オーバーの母は、シュノーケリングを怖がって船内に残るつもりでいましたが、せっかくだから!と半ば強引に海に連れて行き、怖くて泣きそうになっていたところ、スタッフの方が棒状の浮きを持ってずーっと誘導してくださり、終始安心して泳ぐことができたようです。
美しいお魚も近くでたくさん見られたようで、母にとってもいい思い出になったと思います。
海中での誘導は疲れたと思います。親切な対応に大変感謝します!
シュノーケリングポイントではウミガメも出没!幸運にも近くで一緒に泳ぐこともでき、とても心に残る経験になりました。
サンドバー同様、ここも同じツアー参加者だけの貸し切りスポットだったため、人で溢れかえるようなこともなく悠々と楽しむことができました。
シュノーケリングの時間は45分~1時間ほどあったように思います。十分すぎるくらいに海の中を満喫し、心底楽しめました!
海から上がって冷えた身体に、すかさず温かいドリンクをいただけたのは「わかってるなぁ!」という感じでした。
ひとつだけ残念だったのは‥‥
帰りのバスに乗り込むと、なぜか定員オーバーで座る席が無かったこと。
行きの車内では空席もあったくらいなのに、なぜ帰りの便は席が足りないほど人が増えているのでしょうか?
ちゃんと名前を確認して乗車させていないんでしょうか?こればかりは謎でしかありません‥
満席だから出発!と、危うく現地に置き去りにされる可能性もあったかとお思うと、恐ろしくてなりません。
こればかりは、日本のツアーとは違う杜撰な部分が出たな‥と痛感した場面でした。
最後の最後に残念な思いをしてしまいました。(★-1)
朝の集合時も、点呼だけして何も告げずに車でどこかに行ってしまうスタッフの方に不安を感じました‥(しばらくして大型バスが到着)
ツアーの内容自体が期待以上だっただけに、集合時と行き帰りのバスでの対応が、ツアーの質を落としている感は否めません。
どのツアー会社も、以前に比べツアー自体の価格が高騰して数十ドル値上がっている印象を受けましたが、今回は大変満足したツアーでしたので、この内容だったらまたぜひ参加したいなと思いました。
他社に比べてクチコミのポイントが高いのも納得できるいいツアーです!
安心してご参加をオススメできます。
お天気や気候、サンドバーの状態は運任せだけど、楽しめるツアー内容であることは間違いないですよ!

I participated in the Heavenly Ocean Tour in Hawaii for the first time! My friends also said it was really great to join this tour. The ocean was stunningly beautiful! No doubt about it! Additionally, the guide was kind and friendly, making it a very enjoyable day. The people were warm, and since it was my first time seeing such a beautiful ocean, it became the best memory. When I go to Hawaii again, I would like to join this tour! Thank you!
初めてハワイで天国の海ツアーに参加しました!友人もみんなこのツアーにきて本当に良かったと言っていました。素晴らしく海は綺麗です!間違いないです!そして、ガイドの方も親切で、尚且つフレンドリーに接してくださりとても楽しい1日になりました。人も暖かく、海も私はこんな綺麗な海初めてみたので、最高の思い出になりました。またハワイに行く際は、このツアーに参加したいです。ありがとうございました!
The highlight of my trip to Hawaii was the sandbar at Kaneohe Bay! The boat had both local and Japanese crew members, and both were very accommodating. In particular, the Japanese crew member, Yukiko, was very friendly, chatting with all the participants and taking photos, which made for even more enjoyable memories!
The weather was great that day, and the sandbar was absolutely beautiful! At the sandbar, we enjoyed an hour of free time where we could practice snorkeling, take photos, and play beach volleyball with the crew and other participants.
After returning to the boat, we had hamburgers for lunch. The captain grilled the meat himself, and snacks and vegetables were self-serve. Soft drinks were unlimited, and the crew would refill them anytime if you asked at the counter on the boat.
Actually, my meat hadn’t been grilled yet, and I was told to wait a bit for a fresh one, but since they felt bad for making me wait, I ended up getting two pieces of meat (laughs), and they also grilled some cheese and bread for me! I really appreciated this kind of thoughtfulness.
After lunch, we watched sea turtles and manta rays from the boat. I heard that sea turtles are there every day, but we were lucky to see many manta rays that day, which was very moving!
From 1:00 PM, we went snorkeling near the coral reef! We snorkeled for about an hour around a very large coral reef, watching the fish. I wasn’t able to swim with the sea turtles, but it seemed that others were able to, and it appears that there are lucky moments when you can swim with them!
Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and I would love to participate again!
ハワイ旅行で一番の楽しみだった、カネオヘ湾のサンドバー!
ボートには現地の人と日本人のクルーが両方乗っており、どちらもとても対応が良かったです。
特に日本人クルー、ユキコさんは参加者皆に気さくに話し掛けていたり写真も撮ってくれたり、すごく陽気な方でより楽しい思い出ができました!
この日は天気がよく、サンドバーがとっても綺麗でした!!サンドバーでは、この後にあるシュノーケリングの練習ができたり、写真を撮ったりクルー達もツアー参加者も混じってビーチバレーをやっていたりと、各自で1時間のフリータイムを楽しんでいました。
ボートに戻ったら昼食のハンバーガー。お肉は船長自ら焼いてくれて、スナックや野菜は自分でお皿に取る方式でした。あと、ソフトドリンクは飲み放題で、ボートの中のカウンター?でクルーに声を掛ければいつでも注いでくれました。
実は私の分のお肉が焼かれていなくて新しく焼くから少し待ってと言われたのですが、待たせてしまったからと言ってお肉は2枚頂き(笑)、チーズやパンも少し焼いてくれました!こういう気づかいもして頂いて嬉しかったです^_^
昼食が終わって、ボートからウミガメとマンタをウォッチングしました。
ウミガメは毎日いるそうなのですが、この日は運良くマンタも沢山見れてとても感動しました!
13:00からは、サンゴ礁の近くでシュノーケリング!とても大きなサンゴ礁の周りを、魚たちを見ながら1時間ほどシュノーケリングしました。私はウミガメと一緒に泳げなかったのですが、他の方は泳げていたみたいで、運よく一緒にウミガメと泳げる事もあるみたいです!
総合的に、とても素晴らしい体験でまた参加したいなと思いました!
There was no land visible above the water surface as often seen in photos, but the white color of the knee-deep water spread throughout the blue sea. The tones of white, blue, and emerald green were very beautiful. After lunch, during snorkeling, I was able to see a large sea turtle up close that I felt I could ride, making it an exhilarating tour.
写真でよく見る、水面上の陸地はありませんでしたが、ひざ上位の水深の白い色が、青い海のなかに広がっていました。
白、青、エメラルドグリーンのトーンが、とても綺麗でした。
ランチのあとのシュノーケリングでは、自分が乗れそうな大きな海ガメを、間近に見ることができ、大興奮のツアーでした。
I was able to make good use of the time from 9:00 to 15:00.
The beauty of the sandbar and the fun of snorkeling were, of course, wonderful, and the cheerful and articulate staff on the cruiser kept the atmosphere lively throughout. There were customers with small children, and I thought it was really lovely to see the couple enjoying snorkeling while the staff kept the kids entertained.
During snorkeling, I even got to see sea turtles underwater, which was amazing!! ヽ(´∀`*)ノ
9:00~15:00の時間を有意義に使えました。
サンドバーの美しさやシュノーケリングの楽しさはもちろん、クルーザーの上でも愉快で滑舌のよいスタッフの方が始終盛り上げてくれていました。
小さなお子様連れのお客様がいらしたのですが、ご夫婦がシュノーケリングを楽しめるよう子供をずっと楽し気にあやしている姿を見たときに非常に素敵だなと思いました。
シュノーケリングでは海中のウミガメまでみれて、最高でした!!ヽ(´∀`*)ノ
My first sandbar!
To be honest, the weather wasn't great and it wasn't in the best condition, but the boat was beautiful, the guide was wonderful, and we got to see sea turtles and manta rays, which really lifted my spirits!
The sandbar was absolutely amazing!!!
When I go to Hawaii again, I definitely want to come back here!
初めてのサンドバー!
正直天気が悪く最高の状態ではなかったけど、船はキレイ・ガイドさんも素敵・ウミガメ・マンタも見れこれだけで気分は上々!
サンドバーはとにかく素晴らしかった!!!
再度ハワイに行った時も必ずここにはきたいですね!
This was my first trip to Hawaii. While searching for activities that I could enjoy with my 6th-grade daughter, I came across this tour. When I told my daughter about it, she immediately responded, "I want to go!" It's not every day you get a chance to meet wild dolphins.
I had some hesitation, wondering if I could wake up at 5 AM with the jet lag, if I would be okay since I'm not a strong swimmer, and if I might get seasick. I was filled with more anxiety than excitement. After much deliberation, I decided to go for it and signed up.
On the day of the tour, I was so excited that I woke up earlier than planned. I took my motion sickness medication and boarded the boat. After a few minutes, I heard the staff say that dolphins were nearby, and one by one, we jumped into the sea.
Honestly, it was a bit scary at first. I struggled to put my face in the water. I desperately searched for dolphins. Then, when I looked down… there they were right below me!! A pod of dolphins! Before I knew it, I was diving down and taking pictures, completely captivated. It was an emotional experience. My daughter seemed to see them well too. Although I joined the tour for her sake, I might have enjoyed it even more (laughs). After that, we also got to see a honu (sea turtle). It was amazing to see it swimming so close!
It was a dreamlike experience that went by in an instant. The staff were friendly, and I enjoyed chatting with them. I've been to various places, but this became my best memory in Hawaii. If I have the chance to go to Hawaii again, I would definitely like to participate in this tour again.
As many have mentioned, I think it's a good idea for those who are worried to take motion sickness medication. Thank you very much.
初めてのハワイ旅行。小学6年生の娘と楽しめるアクティビティはないかと色々探していたところ、このツアーが目にとまりました。娘に話した所、「行きたい!」と即答。野生のイルカに会えるツアーなんてなかなかありません。
私も行きたいなと思いながらも迷いがありました。時差ボケもあるのに朝5時に起きられるのか。あまり泳ぎが得意ではないのに大丈夫か。船酔いするんじゃないか。期待以上に不安もイッパイ。迷いに迷って思いきって申し込みました。
当日は楽しみで予定より早く起きてしまいました。酔いどめもしっかり飲んで船に乗り込むこと数十分。
イルカがいるというスタッフの方の声を聞いて、次々と海に飛び込みます。
正直ちょっと怖かった。最初はなかなか顔もつけられなくて。必死でイルカを探します。そして、ふと下をみると…真下にいました!!イルカの群れが!気がつくと夢中で潜って写真をとっていました。感動でした。娘もしっかり見れたようです。娘のために参加したツアーでしたが、私のほうが楽しんでいたかも(笑)。そのあとホヌもみることができました。本当にすぐそばで泳いでいてびっくり!!
あっという間の夢のような時間でした。
スタッフの方もフレンドリーで色々お話できて楽しかったです。
色々な所に行きましたが、ハワイでの一番の思い出になりました。
またハワイに行く機会があったらぜひ参加したいです。
みなさんかいてありますが、心配な方は酔い止めを飲んだほうがいいと思います。
ありがとうございました。
The shallow area made of coral fragments in the sea, which is different from the shallow waters, was a sight I had never seen before, and I couldn't help but be captivated. The hamburger for lunch was large, delicious, and combined with the scenery, it was truly delightful. During snorkeling, I was able to meet my long-awaited sea turtle and even swim together. There was also a surprise where our guide, Yukiko, took photos for us, making it a series of wonderful experiences that left me very satisfied. I want to participate many more times.
遠浅とは違う海の中にある珊瑚の欠片でできた浅瀬で、初めて見る光景で思わず見とれてしまいました。昼食のハンバーガーは大きくて美味しくて景色とあいまってとても美味しかった。シュノーケリングでは念願の海亀に会うことができ、一緒に泳ぐこともできてました。案内人のyukikoさんが写真を撮ってくれるサプライズもあり、すばらしい体験の連続で大満足です。何回も参加したくなります。
We participated as a three-generation family. The weather was perfect on the day of our visit, with clear skies, no wind, and calm seas. I had read past comments about the bus being cold, so bringing a long-sleeve shirt was a good decision.
We reserved our spot at the sandbar on a day and time when the tide was low during our stay in Hawaii, and it turned out just as expected (the water was shallow, about knee-deep). It was actually great for the kids to practice snorkeling. When I asked the staff to take photos, they took many wonderful pictures for us.
During snorkeling around the coral, we were lent floating sticks, which allowed my 6-year-old and 8-year-old to hold on and swim, and they were thrilled to see many fish. The staff were friendly, the weather was favorable, and we had a memorable and wonderful experience!
3世代で参加しました。当日はよく晴れて風もなく海も穏やかで最高の天気でした。
過去のコメントでバスの車内が冷えるとあったので長袖を持参して正解でした。
サンドバーはハワイ滞在中で潮位が低い日、時間帯を調べて予約したので、予想通りでした(浅いところで膝上くらい)。子どもたちがシュノーケルの練習ができたので、逆にちょうどよかったです。スタッフの方に写真撮影をお願いしたら、とても素敵な写真をたくさん撮ってくださいました。
珊瑚周辺でのシュノーケルのときは浮く棒を貸してもらえたので、6歳と8歳の子どもはそれにつかまって泳ぎ、たくさんの魚を見ることができて大喜びでした。
スタッフの方たちも気さくで、天気にも恵まれ、思い出に残る素敵な体験ができました!
My husband, parents and I really enjoyed the sunset dinner ride. The only thing I wish we could have done was gallop or even cantor a bit. If you are a new rider or inexperienced, this is perfect for you. The views were breathtaking and the guide was great. The food was decent, however when we got done we realized we didn't get the corn on the cob or the pie that was advertised in the add. What we did get was steak, shrimp, rice, macaroni salad, fresh fruit and we made smores over the fire. The best was the fruit and the smores. Overall it was really fun and a great experience.
Honestly, I didn't have high expectations, but I enjoyed it more than I thought. There were more sea turtles than I expected, and I was lucky enough to encounter a manta ray. The sandbar was deeper than I imagined, so it was a bit different from what I pictured. I joined without knowing what to do at the sandbar, but it was great to experience snorkeling.
正直、あまり期待してませんでしたが思ったより楽しめました。ウミガメは予想以上に多く、運良くマンタにも遭遇できました。サンドバーは思ったより深かったので、イメージとは少し違いました。また、サンドバーで何をするのか不明なまま参加したのですが、シュノーケリングを体験したのが良かったです。
I participated in January.
I could hardly see any turtles, just catching a glimpse of them far out at sea.
And it was only for a moment.
The sandbar was just a shallow area up to my waist, even for adults, and it was completely unimpressive.
Many participants who joined thinking there would be a beach in the middle of the ocean ended up spending most of their time on the boat because the water was too cold in winter, which was very disappointing.
I believe the tours should either be held during the season when there are many turtles or only during the season when there is a beach.
1月に参加しました。
亀もほとんど見れずに
遠く海上に出てくるのを見るだけ。
しかも、一瞬。
サンドバーも、大人でも腰ぐらいある浅瀬で
まったく感動なし。
海のど真ん中に砂浜があるという触れ込みで参加されていた方も
結局冬で水が冷たくて結局船で過ごされていた方も多く、
とても残念です。
やはり、亀がたくさんいるシーズンにするか
砂浜があるシーズンのみツアーを開催するべきです。
The weather was sunny with occasional clouds, but there was wind, and it was surprisingly cold. The sandbar had water levels up to my knees. Snorkeling at the coral reef had life jackets available, but it seemed deep and was scary for the children. We were lucky to see a sea turtle while snorkeling.
天気は晴れ時々くもりでしたが、風があり、意外と寒かったです。サンドバーは膝下くらいの水位でした。サンゴ礁にてのシュノーケリングは、ライフジャケットはありましたが、深くて子供には怖かったようです。シュノーケリングではウミガメも見れてラッキーでした。
We spent Christmas in Hawaii and went on this excursion and absolutely loved it!!! The crew was fabulous and we would do this excursion again!!! The sandbar was soooo cool and playing volleyball on it was so fun fun!!!
I participated in a breakfast-only tour.
It rained on and off from the time we departed until we reached Angel's Beach, but we were able to see sea turtles, and by the time we arrived at Angel's Beach, the weather had cleared up, so I am satisfied with the tour content.
For this tour, we traveled to the site with two buses, but one of the pick-up buses took a long time to arrive... In the end, it was about 45 minutes after the first bus left that they finally came to pick us up.
The guide who was with us on the way seemed to leave because they were going to the next tour time, and they said, "Please wait here. If it rains, wait over there (at the public restroom with a roof)!!" which made me feel very anxious.
I never expected to feel so uncomfortable just because the buses were different, even though it was the same tour. It's really disappointing because the content of the tour was very good.
朝食のみのツアーに参加しました。
出港時〜天使の海に行くまでの間雨が降ったりやんだりを
繰り返していたのですが、ウミガメは見ることができましたし、天使の海に着いた頃には晴れていたのでツアーの内容には満足しています。
今回のツアーは2台のバスで現地まで行ったのですが
迎えのバスのうち1台がなかなか来ず。。。
最終的に1台目のバスが出発してから45分ほどたってやっと迎えに来てくれる・・・といった感じでした。
行きにはいてくださったガイドさんも次の時間帯のツアーにいくからなのか
【ここで待っていてください。雨が降ったらあそこ(屋根のある公衆トイレ)で待っていてください!!】という言葉を残し、行ってしまったのでとても不安な気持ちになりました。
同じツアーなのに
バスが違うだけでこんなに嫌な気持ちなるなんて思いませんでした。
ツアーの内容はとてもよかったので残念でなりません。
Thank you very much for participating in the tour. However, we sincerely apologize for not being able to provide satisfactory service regarding the return transfer, despite your enjoyment of the sea turtle watch and Angel's Sea.
Upon checking with the operating company about the situation on the day, we received a report that, as you mentioned, the bus arrival was significantly delayed due to the delay. We are truly sorry for making you wait for a long time in an unfamiliar place, especially with the guide being away, which must have caused you anxiety. We take your feedback seriously and, together with the operating company, will strive for further service improvement in the future.
Thank you very much for your valuable feedback during your busy schedule.

この度はツアーにご参加いただき誠にありがとうございます。
しかしながら、ウミガメウォッチや天使の海はお楽しみいただいたにも関わらず、帰りの送迎につきましては、
ご満足いただけるサービスを提供できませんでしたこと、お詫び申し上げます。
催行会社に当日の状況を確認しましたところ、仰るとおり遅延のためバスの到着が大幅に遅れてしまったとの報告がございました。
慣れない土地でガイドも離れてしまい、不安なお気持ちで長い間お待ちいただくこととなり、誠に申し訳ございません。
お客様からのお言葉を真摯に受け止め、催行会社共々、今後さらなるサービス向上に努めてまいります。
お忙しい中、貴重なご投稿を賜りまして、誠にありがとうございました。

A family with five children aged 4 to 14 participated. The weather was favorable, and we had truly wonderful views and experiences. The sea was a bit cold, so the 4-year-old couldn't stay in for too long, but they enjoyed it.
4歳から14歳まで子どもが5人の家族で参加しました。
天候に恵まれ、本当に素晴らしい景色と体験が出来ました。
海は少し寒かったので、4歳の子は余り長い時間入ってられませんでしたが、たのしめました。
