All Reviews for Baby Friendly (Ages 0-2)

They say to shoot for the stars...so why not go for as many stars as you can? Now that I've been on the three star and the five star dining options, I can honestly say that the five star is worth the extra money. Both dining options were enjoyable and both exceeded my expectations. The quality of the food and service were excellent on both cruises, but I preferred the extra elegance of the five star. From the private welcome reception with the captain on the upper deck, to the live Jazz music, and the less crowded dining room, the five star was truly a luxurious experience.

I used to go to the Royal Shopping Center every time, but I didn't realize there was a hall. The show combined Hawaii's history and music with performances including impersonations, hula dancing, and fire dancing. The way it was structured, rather than just presenting in order, provided a great understanding of the historical context, and it was very good.

ロイヤルショッピングセンターには毎回行ってましたがホールがある事に気付きませんでしした、ショーの内容はハワイの歴史と音楽を融合された演出でものまねとフラダンス、ファイヤーダンスとただ順番で出てくるのではない組み立ては時代背景もわかりとても良かったです

We did the Alii Luau dinner and standard show package and had such a great time! We were entertained the whole time while we ate and the food was amazing! The Ha: Breath of Life show was very well done and I loved the amount of fire dancers that they had. There are plenty of shops, places to grab food and things to see there to where you can really make a whole day out of it! It was overall a really cool experience.

I would definitely recommend the Five Star package if you're having trouble deciding which package to choose from! It was such a nice evening filled with an amazing meal, lovely live music and a great view of the sunset. This is definitely more of an elegant feel compared to the Three Star package if you're looking for something a little more upscale. You really can't go wrong with either one though, both are very nice and the food was exceptional on both!

I participated in this tour because I wanted a luxurious meal on my last day in Hawaii, where I had been cooking for myself in a condominium. There was no shuttle service since we headed directly to the hall. Upon entering, light snacks and wine were served, which really boosted my spirits. Since it was during the Bon holiday, about 80% of the guests were Japanese. Given the current circumstances, there were many solo travelers. In such situations, I prefer to share a table with others, but there was no consideration for that.

Dinner was served at tables set up in front of the stage. The food, lobster and steak, was not exceptionally delicious but had a safe flavor. Alcohol was free for one drink, and after that, it was paid. I ordered a Blue Hawaii for $10.

During the meal, a photographer circulated around, taking pictures and later trying to sell them for $25. Although I knew I wouldn't look at them later, I ended up buying one.

After about an hour and a half of dinner, people started coming into the second-floor seats. The show began at 8 PM, starting with hula dancing. Next, a man hung upside down from the ceiling and dropped coins onto the tables. There was a performance featuring Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson. Of course, they were impersonators, but they were really good at it. Following that was a fireman show, skillfully handling torches with flames. The packed show ended at 9:30 PM.

The meal was not bad, and the show was good. Considering the atmosphere, I found the price reasonable. I think I would be willing to see the same show again.

　ハワイではコンドミニアムで自炊していたので、最後の日は豪華な食事を、とこのツアーに参加した。
　ホールには直接向かうので送迎はない。入場すると軽食とワインが振る舞われていてテンションがあがる。盆休みとあって客の8割は日本人だった。ご時世なのでおひとりさまも多い。こんな時、私は相席の方が嬉しいのだが、そういう配慮はなかった。
　ディナーはステージの前に設けられたテーブル。料理はロブスターとステーキですごく美味しいわけではないが無難な味だった。アルコールは1杯だけ無料でその後は有料。ブルーハワイを頼んだら10ドルだった。
　食事中は写真屋が巡回していて、勝手に撮影してあとで売りつけに来る。25ドル。あとで見ることはないのについつい買ってしまった。
　1時間半ほどのディナーのあと、2階席にぞろぞろ人が入ってきた。20時にショーが開演。まずはフラダンス。続いて天井から逆さ釣りになった男がテーブルにコインを落とすパフォーマンス。エルビス・プレスリー、マイケル・ジャクソンのショー。もちろん偽物なのだがこれが実に真似が上手い。その後は火の点いたたいまつを自在に操るファイアマンショー。盛りだくさんのショーが終わったのは21時30分。
　食事も悪くなかったし、ショーもよかった。雰囲気込みでこの値段なら納得できる。同じのをもう一度観てもいいかなと思います。

This time, we visited Hawaii for our honeymoon and wanted to experience the elusive beach "Sandbar," which only appears during low tide, so we joined Captain Bruce's Paradise of the Sea tour. We were very satisfied as we were able to experience things that we wouldn't have been able to do on our own, such as walking while taking photos in the shallow sea and enjoying snorkeling in the emerald green waters, where we saw coral reefs and sea turtles. During the time we went, some areas were deep enough to reach up to our chests, even in the shallow waters. I think it's a good idea to consider the tide and time of day if you're concerned about that.

Lunch was also delicious, with plenty of meat and vegetables. I think the portion size was satisfying. Additionally, the crew was very kind and attentive, allowing us to enjoy the activities with peace of mind. If I have the opportunity to go to Hawaii again, I would like to participate in Captain Bruce's tour once more.

今回は新婚旅行で初めてハワイを訪れ、引き潮のときだけ現れる幻のビーチ｢サンドバー｣にぜひいきたいと思いキャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーに参加しました。
浅瀬の海で写真を撮りながら散歩をしたり、エメラルドグリーンの海でシュノーケリングを楽しみながらサンゴ礁やウミガメを見たりと自分たちだけではなかなか体験することのできないことを経験できたのでとても満足しています。私たちが行った時間帯は、浅瀬と言っても場所によっては胸辺りまで浸かるところもありました。気にする方は潮の満ち引き、時間帯等考慮のうえ行かれるといいと思います。
お昼ご飯もお肉や野菜が盛りだくさんでおいしかったです。ボリュームもあり満足できると思います。また、クルーの方もとても親切でいろいろ心配りしてくださるので安心してアクティビティを楽しむことができました。
ハワイに行く機会があればキャプテンブルースのこのツアーにもう１度参加したいと思っています。

I participated with my 2-year-old daughter (free) and two friends. The shuttle bus had a mix of foreigners and Japanese, and the boat was exclusively for Japanese, so I felt very comfortable without any language barriers. The sea turtle came quite close, and my daughter was thrilled. At the Angel's Sea, we wore life jackets and enjoyed playing in the water together. The current was faster than I expected, so if you have small children, it might be wise to stay close to the boat.

I wasn't expecting much from the hamburgers served on the boat, but they were really delicious.

The snorkeling wasn't very clear, but there were plenty of fish, and it seemed like some people even had sea turtles come close to them, so everyone was having a great time.

There's no way I could have done this on my own, so joining the tour was definitely the right choice.

2歳の娘（無料）、友人と3人で参加しました。送迎バスは外国人、日本人の混載で船は日本人専用だったので言葉の不安がなくとても利用しやすいと思います。
ホヌはかなり近いところまで来てくれ娘もおおはしゃぎ。天使の海ではライフジャケットを着て3人で水遊び楽しみました。思ったより流れが速かったので小さい子連れなら船の近くから離れないように気を付けた方がいいかもしれません。

船の上で食べるハンバーガーは期待していなかったのですが、とっても美味しかったです。

シュノーケリングでは海の中はクリアではなく濁っていました。しかし魚がたくさんいて、ホヌも近くまで来た人もいたようでみんなとても楽しんでいました。

個人では絶対に来れないので、ツアーに参加して大正解。

I attended with my boyfriend. Since we went on a weekday in October, the park wasn't too crowded, and we were able to enjoy ourselves without much waiting. I love thrill rides, so this place was amazing! I don't think there's anywhere else with so many different types. I recommend it because people of all ages can have fun for a whole day! It was also nice that there was a shuttle service from the hotel.

彼氏と2人で参加しました。
10月の平日に参加したのもあり、園内はそんなに混んでなく
ほとんど並ばずに遊べました。
絶叫系スライダーが大好きなので、ここは最高でした！！
こんなにたくさんの種類があるとこは他にないのでは！？
と思います。
子供から大人まで1日楽しめますのでお勧めです！！
ホテルから送迎があるのも楽でよかったです。

In the morning, although it was a bit early, I was able to make good use of my time enjoying snorkeling and a cruise. The staff was friendly, and the views from Diamond Head and off the coast of Waikiki were great. The weather on the day I participated was also favorable, and I even got to see a honu (sea turtle), making it the best morning activity.

午前中、少し早めだけれど時間を有効に使ってシュノーケル&クルーズが楽しめて、スタッフもフレンドリーでダイアモンドヘッドやワイキキ沖からの景色も良かったです。参加した日は天候にも恵まれて、ホヌにも会えて最高の朝活でした。

My third time at the Luau and they never fail to impress me!
Family is very important to me, values, and life lessons, and every time I see their show, I always feel inspired and this time, I decided to bring my husband with me so he can experience the same. Chief's life story is so touching, and I love how he shares it with the guests. As always, Chief is very entertaining from the beginning to end, always full of laughers! The Polynesian Show, and the fire knife dance, superb!! Incomparable! Aaahhhmazing!!

- Sandbar
You can clearly see the boundary between the deep blue sea and the clear light blue water. In the distance, you can see the mountains of Oahu and Kualoa Ranch. The view was amazing.

- Sea Turtles
The encounter rate with sea turtles seems to be quite high, and we were able to see them too. They came close enough that we could almost touch them (though touching is apparently not allowed).

- Activities
In addition to snorkeling, we were also able to try stand-up paddleboarding (you can challenge both as long as time permits). Even small children were snorkeling.

- Meals
You can enjoy freshly grilled barbecue on the boat. In tours like this, the quality of the food can sometimes be lacking, but the taste was very good.

- GoPro and More
They also offer GoPro rentals (for a fee). Additionally, they sell marine shoes and motion sickness bands. Since the sandbar has some rough areas, it's better to have marine shoes.

The guides were cheerful, making it a fun tour.

・サンドバー
　青く濃い海と澄んだ水色の海の境界がはっきり見られます。遠くにはオアフ島の山々やクアロアランチ。最高の景色でした。

・ウミガメ
　ウミガメの遭遇率は相当高いようで、私達も見ることができました。向こうから近寄ってきてほとんど触れるくらい（触るのはNGらしいです）の近さまで来てくれました。

・アクティビティ
　シュノーケルの他、SAPに挑戦することもできました（時間の許す限り、両方に挑戦することもできます）。小さなお子様もシュノーケルをされていました。

・食事
　船上で焼きたてのバーベキューをいただけます。この手のツアーだと食事の質はイマイチなこともありますが、味もとてもおいしかったです。

・GoProなど
　GoProの貸し出しもしてくれます（有料）。その他マリンシューズや酔ドメバンドなどの販売もあります。サンドバーはザラザラした部分もあるので、マリンシューズはあったほうがいいでしょう。

ガイドの皆さんも明るくて、楽しいツアーになりました。

I had some free time and made a reservation the day before.
If you check the meeting place on Google Maps, you can get there without any issues.
It was nice to relax and enjoy the view of Waikiki from the sea.

空いた時間があり前日に予約しました。
集合場所はGoogleMAPでよく見ていくと問題なく行けます。
ゆっくり海からワイキキを眺めることができ良かったです。

Although the weather was unfortunate, I had a great time. After taking a bus from the nearest hotel and heading about 10 minutes by boat from the port, we arrived at a spot where the color of the sea was clearly different. When boarding the boat, you go barefoot or wear marine shoes, leaving flip-flops at the port.

There are containers under the seats on the boat for each group, similar to costume cases, so it was reassuring to keep our belongings in a vinyl bag and store them in the case. The boat also had a toilet and a roof, making it comfortable. Depending on the tide, when we went, the water level was just about at the height where you could reach or not when getting off the boat.

The snorkeling point had depth, and it seemed like they were feeding the fish, as there were many of them. We also saw several sea turtles. After enjoying snorkeling, there was a BBQ buffet. The meat was very tender and delicious. It was nice to have warm tea and coffee, which was great for our chilled bodies.

After lunch, we could enjoy activities like stand-up paddleboarding (SUP). Since the number of SUP boards was limited, we had to wait our turn. I wished we had a bit more time for SUP. On the return bus, there were towels laid on the seats, making it comfortable even with wet bodies. There are no changing areas, so it might be a good idea to bring an extra rash guard or towel as a countermeasure against the bus's air conditioning.

あいにくの天候だったのですが、楽しめました。
最寄りのホテルからバスに乗り、港から船で10分ほど向かうと
海の色が明らかに違うポイントに着きます。
船に乗るときは裸足かマリンシューズになります。ビーサンは港に置いていきます。
船にはグループごとに衣装ケースのような入れ物が椅子の下にあるので、
持ち物はビニールバッグなどに入れてケースに入れておけるので安心でした。
船にはトイレもあり、屋根ありなので快適でした。
潮の具合によりますが、私たちが行ったときは船から降りたら足が届くか
届かないかの高さまで水位がありました。
シュノーケルのポイントは深さもあり、魚の餌付けをしているようで魚が
たくさんいました。
ウミガメも何匹かいました。
シュノーケルを楽しんだ後はＢＢＱのブッフェがありました。
お肉はとても柔らかくておいしかったです。暖かいお茶やコーヒーがあったので、冷えた体には嬉しかったです。
ランチの後はＳＵＰ等で楽しめます。ＳＵＰは数が限られているので、順番待ちになります。
ＳＵＰの時間がもう少し欲しかったなと思いました。
帰りのバスには座席にタオルが敷いてあり、濡れた体でも快適に過ごせました。
着替える場所などはありませんので、バスの冷房対策としてラッシュやタオルを余分に持っていく等した方がいいかもしれません。

Had a wonderful experience, start to finish, thanks to this company’s wonderful staff! Very beautiful snorkeling adventure for a great price. Our agent, Ashton, did an outstanding job with our booking. Our driver for pickup and drop off was right on time and very professional and courteous.

We were picked up and warmly greeted by our guide/driver Brandon. Brandon’s in-depth knowledge of Honolulu, it’s history and it present day culture, to include the building murals, is wonderful. This just attests to the time spent studying these subjects. Being former military, his narration of the Punch Bowl and it significance both in history and present day was outstanding. Before our arrival at Pearl Harbor, Brandon setup the morning of Dec 7 will great background information, that would not normally be known unless you are a history buff. Then on to Pearl Harbor, where we were turned over to the Park Service and the Navy. A very informational presentation and lots of background
and answers for any questions. The time spent was wonderful with tons of information to be gleaned. Time was well managed, the route and schedule were well planned and the experience was great.

The staff on the day were all bright and kind, providing excellent service. However, upon arrival, the tide was almost at its peak... I couldn't see the sandbar like in the pictures, and the water was up to my waist. It's natural for the sea to have tides, but I think it would be helpful to have an explanation of the tide times based on the season when making a reservation. The sea was very beautiful, so I believe those who are mainly interested in snorkeling can still have a great time even at high tide!

当日のスタッフさんはみなさん明るく親切な方たちで対応◎でした。
しかし、到着時はほぼ満潮状態…写真のようなサンドバーを見れず腰のあたりまで海水がありました。
海に潮の満ち引きがあるのは当然なのですが…時期によっての満ち引きの時間帯の説明が予約時にあるといいかなぁと思いました。
海はとてもきれいだったのでシュノーケリングがメインの方なら満潮時でも十分楽しめると思います！

On a Saturday in September, I participated with my family of three. Since it’s a popular tour, the shuttle bus was full. When we arrived at the sandbar, the weather was clear, and we enjoyed a wonderful view. You can take photos while walking (a waterproof cover is necessary). By the way, on this day, the water was up to my waist, which was a bit surprising. Soon, the clouds started to look ominous, and we had a sudden downpour. Still, with lunch included, we were able to see sea turtles while snorkeling, and during our free time, we got to try stand-up paddleboarding (SAP). Overall, it was a thoroughly enjoyable tour. Since it’s a tour aimed at Japanese people, the guide kept things lively and created a homely atmosphere on the boat. I think it depends on the weather, but if you can enjoy this view, you definitely won’t regret it. If it rains, it can get cold, so while there are life jackets available, it’s reassuring to have clothes that you can wear while getting in the water.

9月の土曜日、家族3人で参加しました。人気のツアーなので送迎車は一杯でした。サンドバーに着いた時は晴れていて、素晴らしい景色を堪能できました。歩きながらスマホで撮影できます。(防水カバーは必要です。)ちなみに、この日は腰あたりまで海水があったので、ちょっと意外でした。ほどなく雲行きが怪しくなり突然のスコール。それでもランチが付いて、シュノーケリングでウミガメも見れて、フリータイムでSAP(スタンドアップパドル)にも乗れて、ツアーとしては十分に楽しむことができました。日本人向けのツアーなので、ガイドの人がいろいろと盛り上げて、船内ではアットホームな雰囲気にしてくれます。天気で左右されるとは思いますが、この景色を味わえるなら、絶対、損はしないと思います。もし、雨が降れば寒いので、ライフジャケットはありますが、着たまま入れる服装があると安心です。

Absolutely a paradise of a sea!!
I think even those who are not good at swimming can enjoy it since you can stand.
There were even families with babies.
The shallowest part was about knee-deep.
For those who can swim, snorkeling allowed us to see sea turtles, and if you come to Oahu, you definitely shouldn't miss this!!
The snacks were delicious too.

まさしく天国の海！！
泳ぎ苦手な人でも足がつくので楽しめると思います。
赤ちゃん連れもいたくらい。
1番浅くて膝くらいでした。
泳げる人はシュノーケリングしてウミガメも見れましたし、オアフに来たら絶対これに参加しないと損！！
軽食も美味しかったです。

This is a tour where you can enjoy fireworks on a boat. The food is also delicious. However, I cannot recommend it for those who are prone to seasickness, as the boat does sway. Additionally, it can be a bit chilly on the deck, so I think it would be a good idea to bring a light jacket.

花火を船上で楽しめるツアーです。
食事も美味しいです。
ただ船が揺れますので船酔いに弱い方にはオススメは出来ません。
それと甲板に出ると若干肌寒いので羽織るものを一枚持っていった方が良いかと思います。

Last time it was rainy, the sea was murky, and it wasn't good at all, so I joined the tour this time with high expectations. The weather was nice, the sea was beautiful, and I enjoyed the sandbar. It was really great.

前回は雨模様で、海が濁り、全然良くなかったので、今回は期待してツアーに参加しましたが、お天気が良く、海も綺麗で、サンドバーも楽しめました。
大変良かったです。

We had an absolutely fantastic time. It rained the entire day and never put a damper on any of the festivities. Our luau dinner was delicious. One of the best activities we participated in on our recent vacation to Oahu. Each of the villages not only provided us with information and a look into the culture from a variety of islands but they also provided activities for us which were fun an interesting . If I ever return to Hawaii I will go to the Polynesian Cultural Center for the full day experience including the luau.

We participated with my husband, my mother-in-law, and my sister-in-law. A Japanese guide named Shota was with us.

It was challenging for my mother-in-law due to her leg issues, but the staff provided cheerful support when boarding and while she was seated, which we were truly grateful for.

I was thrilled to see wild dolphins and turtles!

However, I got a bit carried away and went down the boat slide, which left me with whiplash, making things difficult after returning home. I realized that in my 40s, I need to be more selective about activities as my body can't keep up.

Since we swam in the sea and got our swimsuits soaked, everyone changed in public restrooms after we docked before getting on the bus. I think it's better to bring a change of clothes.

The staff were bright and fun, making it a wonderful half-day experience!

私達夫婦と義母、義妹と参加しました。
日本人のしょうたさんがガイドでした。

義母が脚が悪く大変だったのですが、乗船する時や母が座っている時もスタッフの方々が明るくサポートして下さり、本当に有り難かったです。

野生のイルカと亀に会えて嬉しかったです！



調子に乗って、船の滑り台を滑ったらムチウチ状態になり、帰国から大変でした。40代はアクティビティを選ばないと身体がついていかないことを実感しました…

海で泳いで水着がびしょ濡れになるので、寄港してから皆さん公衆トイレで着替えてバスに乗っていました。着替えは持参された方が良いと思います。

スタッフの皆さん、明るく楽しく盛り上げてくれて半日満喫出来ました！

The sandbar was really beautiful!
I was able to encounter sea turtles while snorkeling!
The final lunch was delicious!

サンドバーはすごく綺麗でした！
シュノーケリングではウミガメにも出会うことができました！
最後のランチもおいしかったです！

This place is really fun! The slides get super crowded in Japan during the summer, but here, there are hardly any lines!! The slides are also close together, making them easy to ride. There's a wave pool and a spacious kids' pool as well.

You won't get bored even if you stay all day, but it's a shame that there's a set time to leave...

However, you can play to your heart's content all day!! I went in September, but this year I didn't take my kids to a pool with big slides during summer vacation. I told them we were coming here... because there are no lines...

The lockers are easy to find, and there are changing rooms and showers available.

If you have kids, they'll be thrilled! The height requirements for the slides are quite lenient, and they even gave a few extra centimeters!

ここは　本当に楽しいです！
スライダーは日本で夏になると　すっごく並びますが
ここは　全く並びません！！スライダー同士も近く　乗りやすいです。
波のプールもあるし　キッズプールも広いです。

1日いても　飽きないけど　帰る時間が決まっているのが惜しいところ・・

でも　1日遊び倒せます！！
私は9月に行きましたが　今年は夏休みに大きいスライダーのあるプールには
連れて行きませんでした。
ここに行くから・・並ばないから・・と。

ロッカーもわかりやすく　更衣室シャワーもあります。

お子さんいるなら　喜びますよ！
スライダーの身長も　結構アバウトで　2～3ｃｍぐらいなら　おまけしてくれました！

As others have mentioned, you might wonder why you would go to Hawaii and spend time at a pool. However, in Japan, you would have to wait in long lines mixed with lots of children to ride a slide like this.

Since we went on a weekday, it was relatively empty, and the lines were either bearable or we got to our turn in no time. There were many adults as well as children, so there was absolutely no embarrassment in waiting!

The sun is strong, so I think it's a good idea to have sunscreen and a rash guard. Also, wearing flip-flops or beach shoes is essential; otherwise, the heat on your feet will be unbearable!

On the day we went, we were worried because all credit cards were not accepted for locker use. The shops do accept cards, so I recommend bringing cash for the locker just in case.

The return bus was extremely cold due to the air conditioning, so it's best to dry your hair well and bring a long-sleeved jacket.

他の方も書かれているように、なぜハワイに来てプール？と思うかもしれません。
でも、日本でこのようなスライダーに乗るには長い長い列と子供だらけの列に混ざって並ばなくてはなりません。

平日に行ったので、比較的空いており、並びはしても普通に耐えられる列か、あっと言う間に自分の番が回ってくるかのどちらかでした。子供もいますが大人も多いので、並んでいても全く恥ずかしくありません！笑

日差しが強いので日焼け止めやラッシュガードはあった方が良いと思います。
あと、ビーサンかビーチシューズは履いて歩かないと足の裏が熱すぎて死にます！必須です！！

また、私たちが行った日はロッカー使用に全てのクレジットカードが使えず焦りました。
売店はカードが使えるので、念のためロッカー分の現金は持っていくことをオススメします。

帰りのバスは冷房が効きすぎてめちゃくちゃ寒いので、髪をよく拭き、長袖の上着も持参した方が良いです。

The morning of the tour that I had been looking forward to so much!
To my surprise, there was unusually heavy rain around Waikiki for this time of year! As I waited for the shuttle, the bus arrived.

In the rain, the bus headed to Kaneohe Bay. On the way, the rain gradually turned into a light drizzle. (The bus seat heater is warm, so if it gets too hot, it's a good idea to let the driver know! lol)

Upon arriving at the port, a female guide entered the bus. Jamie, who speaks fluent Japanese, provided explanations that were both appropriate and super interesting! As my worries about the light rain and what would happen with the boat faded away, the weather also seemed to clear up!

We listened to an explanation of the day's schedule on the boat, and it felt like a comedy show, with everyone smiling. In about 10 minutes, we arrived at the heavenly sea sandbar! At first, everyone got off the boat to float around and walk in the beautiful sea.

Before long, we split into snorkeling and stand-up paddleboarding groups, and off we went for snorkeling!!

There were so many fish! While spotting a coral wall on the right side, I could see a sea turtle right below me without needing to squint! I was so excited! (Everyone wanted to see it, causing a bit of a traffic jam while floating. Be careful not to kick anyone nearby, so we can move smoothly!)

As we moved a little further, surprisingly, a sea turtle started to float towards us!! I interpreted it as saying "Hello!" and my excitement peaked again!

The snorkeling lasted about 10 minutes round trip, and the staff were there to ensure our safety, so if you're someone who thinks, "I can't swim, and I might be scared..." I definitely recommend giving it a try!

After snorkeling, it was time for lunch. Oh my, it was delicious! There was a variety of food, drinks, and desserts, and I was very satisfied. After filling our stomachs, we had some free time.

From the anxiety before leaving the hotel, I ended up thinking it was great that I went, and I definitely want to go again!

Thank you so much! 🎶

もの凄く楽しみにしていたツアー当日の朝！
なんとワイキキ周辺は時期的には珍しい大雨！
「ツアー中止かなぁ…」と送迎を待っていると、バスのお迎えが。

雨の中、バスはカネオヘ湾へ。向かう途中から徐々に小雨になってきました。（バスのシートヒーターが温かいので、暑くなってきたら、運転手さんに言った方がよいですよ！w）

港に着き、ガイドの女性が案内でバスの中に。日本語がペラペラのジェイミーさん。また、この方の説明が適切かつ超面白い♫小雨の不安や、これから船はどうなるのかなんて不安が吹っ切れると同時に空模様もモヤモヤが吹っ切れたように回復！！

船上で1日の流れの説明を聞くのですが、すでに漫談状態で、皆んなニコニコ。10分程度で天国の海サンドバーへ到着！初めは、みんな船から降りてプカプカ浮いたり、綺麗な海を歩いたり。

程なくして、シュノーケリングと、サップ組に別れ、いざシュノーケリングに！！

お魚沢山いるーーー！右側にサンゴの壁を見つつ、良く目を凝らす必要も無いくらいにウミガメが真下に！テンションMAX状態です。（皆んな見たくてプカプカ浮いた状態の渋滞が起きますw近くに人がいると軽く蹴られたりするのでスムーズに進みましょうw）

また少し進むと、な、なんとウミガメさんから私達の方にプカァ〜と向かってくるではないですか！！「コンニチワ〜」って言ってくれたと勝手に解釈でまたもテンションMAX！

シュノーケリングも往復10分位で、スタッフの方々がしっかりとガードしてくれているので、「泳げないし、怖いかも…」程度の方は是非挑戦した方が良いですよ！

シュノーケリングの後は食事タイム。あらま、これがまた美味しかったです！食べ物飲み物、デザート色々あり大満足。お腹いっぱいの後は自由行動。

ホテル出発前の不安から、行って良かった、また必ず行きたい！と思わせてくれたツアーでした！

ありがとうございました♫

The area we watched from was right in front, so it was breathtaking! There was also a menu where guests could dance hula together, and since it was a song I was currently learning, I happily participated in the dance.

観たエリアも正面だったので、圧巻でした！ ゲストと一緒にフラを踊るメニューもあり、ちょうど習っている曲だったので、楽しく踊りに参加しました。

My friend and I went one night when she was in town visiting and had such an amazing time! The boat is very nice and spacious and we loved having the net lounge seating to hang out on. The crew was awesome and continued to walk around the whole time checking on guests to see if they needed anything. You get an awesome view of Diamond Head as well as an amazing sunset view, I would definitely recommend!

This was my second time participating in this tour. I usually join the morning sessions, including those from other companies, but this time I thought I’d try the 12 PM session. Just like last time, the staff were all very pleasant. It’s a reliable tour. The visibility wasn’t great this time, but we saw more than five turtles and a decent number of fish. It lasts about two and a half hours, and the fact that it departs right from the heart of Waikiki makes it highly recommended for enjoying such an experience just a bit offshore. I also appreciated that they provide fins along with the snorkeling set.

このツアーには2回目の参加でした。他社のも含めいつも朝イチの方にさんかしてたのですが、たまには午後にしてみようかと今回は12時の回にしてみました。前回同様スタッフはみなさん感じよく。安定感あるツアーです。今回は透明度が今ひとつでしたが、亀さんは5匹以上、魚はまぁまぁいました。2時間半程度で、しかもワイキキど真ん中からのツアー、ワイキキからちょっと沖にでてこれだけ楽しめる、というのは変わらずおすすめ！シュノーケルセットに加えてフィンも貸してくれるのも結構うれしいポイントです。

I chose a plan that included meals. It was a buffet, but there weren't many options, and the dining area felt like it was under a tent on the rooftop. During the meal, there were performances of hula and Hawaiian songs, but it wasn't a relaxing atmosphere to eat in. The show focused on hula. The scenes featuring famous American artists were impersonations, but I enjoyed them enough. Next time, I think I would prefer to just watch the show.

食事付きのプランにしました。
ブッフェでしたが、種類があまりなく食事の場所も屋上にテントが張ってある下で食べる感じでした。
食事中はフラやハワイアンソングの披露もありましたが、落ち着いて食べる雰囲気ではなかったです。
ショーはフラ中心でした。
アメリカの有名アーティストのシーンはモノマネですが十分楽しめました。
次回もショーのみ見たいと思います。
