Oahu
This was my second time on the Gunstock. This time, it was a sunset horseback riding tour in the evening. The course was the same as usual, but thanks to the beautiful weather, we enjoyed stunning views of the sea and the sunset. It was truly moving. If I could wish for anything, I would have liked to run more, as we mostly walked at a steady pace. That was the only disappointment.
2度目のガンストック。今回はサンセット乗馬ということで夕方のツアーです。
コースは通常のと同じでしたが、天気に恵まれたおかげで美しい海と夕日。
感動でした。
欲を言えばもっと走りたかったなあ。基本ずっと並足だったので。
そこだけが残念。
Crew was great and very friendly did a good job making the minority English speaking tourists feel welcome. Would have appreciated a little more tour of the waters around that side of Oahu rather than pointing at various things and saying there's Gilligan's island as we headed back at end of day.
Really well organised trip - from bus pick-up to drop off. All staff were exceptionally professional placing a great emphasis on safety. Our guide knew the area extremely well and provided intriguing insights in to the local environment. I went by myself and had a great time with the group I was allocated. I would definitely book with this company again.
What a GREAT experience for a first-time flatlander a little afraid of the ocean! Ashlyn & Jenner attended to my every fear and made the experience SO much more enjoyable. Thanks for a great experience. I would do this tour again & I'd go with this company again. I would recommend it to my friends.
I went on a sandbar tour during the cold period at the end of November, which was not during low tide. It was indeed cold, and I couldn't see the sandbar like you do on TV, but the sea was beautiful, I enjoyed snorkeling, and I even saw sea turtles. It was a very satisfying tour. The tour guides were also very attentive and made sure we had a great time, which made the experience even more fulfilling.
11月末という寒い時期に、干潮時間ではないサンドバーツアーに行きました。
確かに寒くてテレビで見るようなサンドバーは見れませんでしたが、海は綺麗で、シュノーケリングも楽しめたし、海亀も見れて、大変満足なツアーでした。
ツアーガイドの方々も私たちを存分に楽しませようとしてくれるのがわかって充実しました。
At Sandbar, we enjoyed the ballet with the participants, and my daughter swam with sea turtles and took underwater photos. Mantas were playing, appearing and disappearing next to the boat. I would love to join this tour again.
サンドバ-では参加者とバレ-を楽しみ、娘はウミガメと泳ぎ水中写真を撮っていました。船の横には消えたり現れたりマンタが遊んでいました。また参加してみたいツア-です。
It was a solo trip, and I was able to easily experience the sandbar. The staff was fun, and it ended in the morning, allowing me to make good use of my afternoon.
一人旅だったし手軽にサンドバーを体験且つスタッフも楽しく午前中で終わるので午後の時間が有効に使えた。
It was an excellent tour. All of 7 of us came back ALIVE :-).
Kudos to the captain and his crew. Despite the choppy sea, he was able to find us a peaceful spot to do all activities. Standing at the sand bar was a very unique experience. I would do this tour all over again.
Unfortunately, the sky wasn't perfectly clear, but I was glad I didn't get sunburned. The Japanese staff were very cheerful and energetic, and of course, all the other foreign guests were also very pleasant. Due to the tides, there was more water than expected (I thought it would be completely dry land, but there was water up to my ankles), and I could see the underwater scenery beautifully while snorkeling, and I was able to see many turtles during the turtle watching. It was a pity that the early morning plan ended in October, but there is still plenty of time after returning to Waikiki, and I would like to take my elderly mother next time.
あいにく快晴の空ではありませんでしたが、日焼けしなくて良かったかな。
日本人スタッフの方もとても明るくて元気で、もちろん他の外国人の方々もみなさん感じが良かったです。
潮の満ち引きの関係か予想より水がありましたが(まったくの陸地になっているのかと思いましたが、足首くらいは水がありました)、シュノーケルではとても綺麗に海の中が見えましたし、タートルウォッチングもたくさんの亀を見ることができました。
もっと早い早朝プランが10月で終了してしまったのは残念でしたが、ワイキキに戻ってからもたっぷり時間はありますし、次は高齢の母を連れて行ってあげたいと思います。
Went on this for one of our honeymoon activities! A lot of fun! We got a complimentary shuttle from our Waikiki Hotel and then watched a video and were sent on our self guided trip! You can visit and small island while kayaking or kayak to another beach and go snorkeling! We even saw a sea turtle! Definitely would recommend and lunch was included! Beautiful beach!
I wasn't feeling very well on the day of the event. I participated with some worry, but I was very happy that the crew was considerate.
The snorkeling was quite cold! I'm glad I could have a warm drink. Unfortunately, the sandbar wasn't very visible, and the water came up to about my knees, but I would like to come back at a better time. Thank you!
当日ちょっと体調があまりよくなくて。せっかく来たのだからと心配しながらの参加でしたが、
クルーの方が気遣いして下さってとてもうれしかったです。
シュノーケリングはかなり寒かったですね!温かい飲み物頂けてよかったです。
残念ながら、サンドバーはあまり見えていなくて膝上くらいまで海水きてましたが、また時期の良いときにリピしたいです。
ありがとうございました!
The sandbar, where the depth is visible through the colors, the sea turtles waving occasionally on the waves, and the hamburgers made with patties grilled on the boat… everything became a wonderful memory. I participated with my 2-year-old daughter, and we had a great time.
色合いで深さがわかるサンドバー、ときどき波の上で手を振るウミガメさん、船上で焼いたパテをはさみ、頬張ったハンバーガー…すべてが良き思い出となりました。2歳の娘を連れての参加でしたが、十分楽しめました。
A tour just as the title suggests! The dream I always saw on TV became a reality! I was worried about seasickness, but we were fine (a few others experienced seasickness).
題名の通りのツアー!いつもTVで見ていた夢が現実になりました!
船酔いも心配でしたが、私たちは大丈夫でした(ほかの方は数名船酔い)
The weather was nice, but due to the season, it was a bit cold with the wind blowing. I was wearing a rash guard, so I managed to cope, but I might have caught a cold without it. After the sea turtle watching cruise, there was time for diving, but it was cloudy, so it was a shame that I couldn't see the clear ocean. The crew was friendly.
天気はよかったものの、季節的な事もあり、風が吹いてちょっと寒かったです。ラッシュガード着用していたので、凌げたですが無かったら風邪ひいてたかも。ウミガメウォッチクルーズの後ダイビングの時間があったけど、雲って来たので澄んだ海の中は見られなかったのが、残念でした。クルーはフレンドリーでした。
Anyway, the beautiful sandbar was surpassed by the amazing guide, Sachi!
Her light-hearted talk, accurate advice, and wealth of little information were all top-notch. Unfortunately, I was too scared to go snorkeling, but it seemed like everyone, including small children, was enjoying it. I ended up with water in the underwater camera I brought, so I can't upload any photos.
兎に角、あの美しいサンドバー、を上回る程、ガイドのサチさんが最高でした!!!
!
トークの軽妙さ、アドバイスの的確さ、プチ情報の豊富さ、どれをとってもピカイチ。
残念ながら、私は怖くてシュノーケリングが出来ませんでしたが、小さなお子さんをお含め、みなさんシュノーケリングを楽しんでいらした様です。
私は折角持って行った水中カメラになんと水が入り、写真がアップ出来ません。
I stayed at Aulani in October. Although I was alone, there were staff members who spoke Japanese and provided thorough explanations, so I had no issues. I didn't get to see any dolphins, but I was able to see many sea turtles while snorkeling, and I enjoyed spending an hour in the ocean, which was great. For breakfast, I had pastries, and for lunch, I made sandwiches with bread, vegetables, cheese, and ham as I liked. Eating after snorkeling on the yacht was very delicious and satisfying. However, there was one issue. I happened to share the same last name with another group of Japanese guests, and it was mistakenly noted that I wasn't participating. After returning home, I contacted them, and they responded politely, which was good. When I go to Hawaii again in July next year, I would like to participate with my family.
10月アウラニ宿泊時に利用しました。1人でしたが、日本語を話せるスタッフがいて、しっかり説明をしてくれたので問題はありませんでした。イルカには会えませんでしたが、シュノーケルでウミガメをたくさん見られ、1時間じっくり海で楽しめたので良かったです。朝食には菓子パン、昼食はパンに野菜やチーズ、ハムを好きに挟んで食べました。ヨットの上でシュノーケル後に食べるととても美味しく満足でした。ただ一点問題がありました。もう一組の日本人とたまたま同姓で、私が参加していないことになっていました。帰国後連絡したところ、丁寧に対応していただけましたので良かったです。来年7月にハワイに行く時は、家族と一緒に参加したいと思います。
My mother really wanted to see the sandbar, so we planned our visit considering the tour schedule and the tide times. I went with a slight hope that there might be some sand visible, but unfortunately, the sandbar was completely submerged. It was shallow enough that my mother was happy, though. How many days a month can visitors actually stand on the sandbar? I have been to Long Beach in Palau, so I wasn't particularly impressed. I think people who haven't been to Palau would find it quite moving, but I wouldn't recommend it to those who have. However, we did get to see a lot of sea turtles, which was really fun. I didn't expect to see so many!
母が、ぜひサンドバーを見たいとのことで、ツアーの時間と、干満の時間を考えて参加しました。砂が少しでも出ているところがあるかなーとわずかな期待をもって行きましたが、やっぱり砂州は一部分も出ていませんでした。それなりに浅かったので母は喜んでいましたが。月に何日くらいお客さんが砂州状態に立てるのでしょうか。私はパラオのロングビーチに行ったことがあるので、感動がありませんでした。パラオに行ったことがない人は、それなりの感動が得られると思いますが、パラオに行ったことがある人にはお勧めしません。ウミガメにはたくさん会えて楽しかったです。あんなにいるとは思いませんでした。
What a great day!! The tour guide was very knowledgeable and took good care of us. We arrived at Pearl Harbor before the crowd and our group was one of the firsts to visit USS Missouri, so we had great pics opportunities.
Make sure to wear comfortable shoes and to have with you a bottle of water!
It's a must-see attraction to anyone who is interested in history and aspects of the US military.
The sea was truly beautiful.
At the sandbar, we enjoyed taking photos, playing volleyball, watching sea turtles from the boat, swimming over the coral reefs, and eating hamburgers on the boat, experiencing fun that you can't have in Japan.
I felt that the time we could spend in the water was a bit short.
The guide spoke Japanese fluently and shared stories and jokes about the movie being filmed in Oahu while guiding us.
After coming out of the sea, I felt cold, but we were able to have warm drinks.
That said, it was still cold, so it would be nice to have something to wear to avoid sunburn.
本当に美しい海でした。
サンドバーでは写真を撮っていただいたり、バレーをしたりと楽しみ、船からウミガメを見たり、サンゴ礁の上を泳いだり、そして船の上でハンバーガーを食べて、と日本では味わえない楽しさを体験できました。
少し海に入れる時間が短いかな、と感じました。
ガイドさんは日本語を普通に話せる方で、オアフで撮影してる映画の話や冗談を交えながらガイドしてくださりました。
日海から上がった後寒く感じましたが、温かい飲み物いただけました。
とは言えやっぱり寒かったので、日焼けも避けられますし羽織るものがあるといいですね。
The crew was great at speaking Japanese, and they were fun to talk to, making for an enjoyable tour! The food was delicious, and the underwater volleyball was exciting; it was the best! However, the weather was cloudy, so the sea was cold... I want to join again on a sunny day next time!
クルーのみなさんが日本語が上手で、話もうまかったので楽しいツアーになりました!
ごはんもおいしかったし、水中バレーも盛り上がったし、最高でした!
ただ天気がくもりだったので海が寒くて・・・
次回は晴れた日にまた参加したいです!
I participated at the beginning of October. Unfortunately, it was cloudy on the day, and it got cold during the snorkeling, to the point where I was shivering after getting out. I think it's a good idea for those going in the future to bring a thick jacket.
The sandbar was about knee-deep, but it felt strange to be in the shallow water in the middle of the ocean. The hamburger for lunch was also delicious. I was able to see sea turtles and manta rays.
10月頭に参加しました。
当日はあいにく曇りで、シュノーケルの途中から寒くなり、あがってからは震えるほど・・・。
これから行かれる方は厚手の上着などあった方がいいと思います。
サンドバーもひざぐらいの深さでしたが、海の真ん中での浅瀬、不思議な感じでした。
ランチのハンバーガーもおいしかったです。
海がめとマンタも見ることができました。
This tour is a must-do when you come to Hawaii. After all, you get to visit a place with beautiful, expansive seas. You can experience a sense of freedom that's different from Waikiki.
However, be careful not to get too carried away, as you could get injured. I wouldn't recommend doing handstands or backflips on the sandy beach.
このツアーは、ハワイに来たら参加するべきですね。
なんといっても綺麗な海広がる場所に行けます。
ワイキキとは違った解放感が体験出来ます。
しかし、はしゃぎすぎると怪我をするので、要注意です。
砂浜での逆立ちや、バク天はオススメできません。
The ocean in Kailua is incredibly blue, and it was a 64-year-old grandma who set out kayaking alone. Her friends were 65 and 55 years old, and we could do anything! Snorkeling in the coral reefs of Lanikai—landing on a deserted island!!! We were completely satisfied!!! The three grandma kayakers were eager to challenge themselves again the next day. It was a joyful time in Oahu, absolutely fantastic!!!
カイルアの海の真っ青な事、その海を1人カヤックで漕ぎ出したのは64歳のグランマですよ。一緒の友人は65歳と55歳、何でも出来ましたよォ~~ ラニカイの海の珊瑚礁でシュノーケル~~~ 無人島上陸!!! もう、大満足!!!でした~~~ もう1度次の日も挑戦したいと初めてのカヤックグランマ3人組は意気揚々でした。ルンルンオアフでした、サイコ~~~~~
Although the weather wasn't perfectly clear and there were some rain showers along the way, I had a very enjoyable and wonderful time. I participated with my mother, and the crew was fantastic in looking after her. We were able to see manta rays and sea turtles, which made us very satisfied! I highly recommend this experience as it seems accessible for people of all ages, even those who can't swim.
天気は快晴とは言えず途中スコールもありましたが、とても楽しく素敵な時間が過ごせました。母と二人での参加でしたがクルーの方が母を気にかけてくださり素晴らしかったです。
マンタもウミガメも見れてとっても大満足です!!
年齢問わず泳げない方も参加できそうなのでとてもおすすめです。
We were picked up early in the morning near the hotel. It took about 40-50 minutes to reach the port. There were many couples participating, and around 30-40 people boarded the boat together. The scenery visible from the boat on the way to the sandbar was beautiful, and we spotted several sea turtles.
Before long, we arrived at the sandbar, which was easily recognizable by its pale blue color that stood out from the surroundings. As expected, many people were taking photos. After that, we went snorkeling over the coral reef!
However, there was a downside... There were simply too many people, and it was difficult to move without bumping into others while snorkeling. Because of that, I ended up getting injured on the coral reef.
The sandbar was beautiful, but in terms of snorkeling, the experience I had later with the dolphin tour was significantly better and much more enjoyable.
It was great that the staff were very energetic and fun, and there was warm tea available when we returned to the boat.
朝早くホテル近くでピックアップ。
片道40-50分くらいで港に到着。カップル参加が多く、30~40人くらい一緒に船に乗りました。
サンドバーまでに船から見える景色は良く、何匹かウミガメが見られました。
ほどなくして、淡い青色で周りとの色の違いからすぐにそれと分かるサンドバーに到着。やはり写真を撮る人多数。
その後、サンゴ礁の上をシュノーケリング!
ここで難点が…
なにしろ人数が多すぎて、シュノーケリング中にぶつかったり、身動きが取れなかったり…
そのせいでサンゴ礁でケガをしてしまいました。
サンドバーはきれいでしたが、シュノーケリングに関してはその後参加したイルカ中学の方が格段にきれいでのびのびと楽しめました。
スタッフがとてもテンション高くて楽しかったり、船に帰ってから暖かいお茶があったりしたのはよかったです。
I've always wanted to visit the sandbar, and on the day of my visit, the weather was perfect. I was able to see sea turtles and manta rays! The sandbar was incredibly beautiful, and I wanted to stay there forever. The guide was also very entertaining and friendly! I definitely want to go again!!!
ずっと行きたかったサンドバー、
当日は天気にも恵まれて、ウミガメやマンタも見れました!
サンドバーもびっくりする程の美しさでずっとあの場にいたかったです。
ガイドさんもとても面白くてフレンドリーな方でした!!
また是非行きたいです!!!
I participated without a guide, but the staff were very helpful, offering assistance and support, which was great. We landed on Flat Island, and while I saw groups with guides who provided detailed explanations about the island and how to get around, I thought, "Maybe I should have gone with a guide," but I was satisfied because we could take our time at our own pace.
Since the tour has a short duration, I would like to take my time on the next visit. We wrapped up kayaking early and enjoyed some pizza recommended by the staff (it was really delicious!) while snorkeling. We quickly spotted a sea turtle! That was probably the best memory.
The ocean was very beautiful, unlike Waikiki Beach, and the population density was still low (maybe because it was a weekday?), which really felt like the essence of a Hawaiian beach! I think it's perfect for enjoying kayaking, swimming, and snorkeling little by little.
Thank you!
ガイドをつけずに自力での参加でしたが、スタッフの方が声をかけてくださったり、助けてくださったりして、助かりました。フラットアイランドへ上陸しましたが、島の案内や回り方などを丁寧に説明していただいているガイド付きの方たちを見ていると、「つけた方が良かったかな^^」と思いましたが、自分たちのペースでゆっくりとやれたので満足しています。
このツアーは滞在時間が短いので、次はもっとゆっくり行きたいと思います。
カヤックは早々に切り上げ、スタッフお勧めのピザを齧りながら(本当においしかった!)シュノーリングをしました。すぐにウミガメを発見!これが一番の思い出かな。
海はワイキキビーチと違い、とても綺麗で人口密度もまだ少なく(平日だったから?)、これぞハワイのビーチ!という感じでした。
カヤック、遊泳、シュノーケリングを少しずつ楽しむには最高だと思います。
ありがとうございました!
Fun crew, Great locations, good food. Relaxing day on Oahu
A Visita é muito bem programada no que se refere ao tempo destinado para as diversas visitas. Entretanto, com relação a visita ao mausoléu do Arizona, sugiro que seja feita na parte da manhã uma vez que a tarde as condições de tempo e mar acabam impedindo a visita. outra sugstão é que devido a grande procura de turistas não americanos sugiro que seja utilizado o idioma espanhol como vem sendo usado o idioma japonês. No mais tudo foi excelente.
We participated as a family. The sandbar was very beautiful. The shallow area is wide, but it can be tough for small children when the tide is high. We saw many sea turtles. Even beginners can get instructions for snorkeling, so it's fine.
The issue was that the pickup was about 20 minutes late from the meeting time at the hotel. It would be nice to have a way to communicate since we didn't know what was going on.
家族で参加しました。サンドバーは,とてもきれいでしたね。浅瀬は広いのですが,満潮近くだと小さい子供は厳しいです。ウミガメはたくさん見られました。シュノーケリングは初心者でも教えてもらえるので,大丈夫です。
問題は,送迎がホテルでの待ち合わせ時間から20分くらい遅れました。状況がわからないので,何か連絡方法があるといいですね。
