Oahu
Fantastic experience and kids loving it!!!!!!!!!!!
I suddenly decided to sign up two days ago. The weather on the day was nice and pleasant, and we were able to enjoy the cruising. The lunch was delicious, and I was satisfied. Although we didn't see any whales, we did see dolphins, and my son was thrilled.
急に思い立って二日前に申し込みしました。
当日はお天気も良く気持ちよく、クルージングできました。ランチも美味しく満足しました。
クジラは見えなかったですがイルカが見れて息子は大喜びでした。
The weather wasn't great, so the photos of the sea and sky didn't turn out well. However, I was able to see turtles, and the lunch was delicious, so I'm glad I participated. The guide was also very kind! Thank you very much.
お天気がイマイチだったので、せっかくの海・空の写真も映えずでした。
ですが、亀にも会えたしランチも美味しかったので参加してよかったです。
ガイドの方も親切でした!ありがとうございました。
Aloha! I'm really happy to hear the comment "I'm glad I participated." I hope to encounter an even more beautiful sandbar next time!! We'll be waiting with the sea turtles.
アロハ! ”参加してよかった”ってコメント本当に嬉しいです。
次回はもっともっと美しいサンドバーに出会えますように!! ウミガメとともにお待ちしてます。
Great Trip... Saw turtles and Dolphins up close..and plenty of other marine life...all of the crew were exceptional... safety concious, engaging, and fun.. paticularly the Captain. Could tell he was experienced and loved what he was doing.. Will repeat this again, as I hsve been on this trip with other providers but didn’t have as good of experience..
The tour bus driver Genshin was punctual, friendly, and informative. We fell a bit behind schedule on the way back but that was due to traffic and Genshin was nice enough to wait an extra 5-10 minutes for the late passengers. The guided tour portion at Pearl Harbor was brief but it gave everyone a chance to explore the Arizona Memorial and USS Missouri for themselves. A good experience overall.
This was a very fun and educational experience. I learned a lot about the Polynesian islands and their different cultures. I would recommend booking with a tour guide if you would like to see all the villages in one day. The night show finale was the best part. I was pretty exhausted by the end of the day from having so much fun and the long drive there and back. I also recommend setting aside an entire day if you're interested in going to PCC.
City tour was very good. Bus driver was awesome. Good enough time to see both ships.
I never expected to see Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson in Waikiki, Hawaii (they were impersonators, though). Their singing was so wonderful that I was completely captivated. Among them, the female singer's voice was particularly impressive.
The hula show was powerful, with the female dancers being very graceful and beautiful, while the male dancers were strong and cool. The fire dance added an extra level of excitement.
I was surprised by the whole roasted pig at the buffet dinner before the show, but it was delicious. The other dishes were surprisingly tasty as well, and I was very satisfied.
まさかハワイのワイキキでエルビスプレスリーとマイケルジャクソンが見れるとは思いませんでした。(ソックリさんでしたが)
とても歌声がステキで聴き入ってしまうくらいでした。中でも、女性シンガーの歌声はとても良かったです。
フラショーも迫力があって、女性ダンサーはとてもしなやかで美しく、男性ダンサーは力強くかっこよかったです。ファイヤーダンスは危険度が更に盛り上げけていました。
ショー前のビッフェ式のディナーでは豚の丸焼きには驚きましたが、美味しく頂けました。他の料理も意外に美味しく、大変満足しました。
Thank you very much for visiting us. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed your time here. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you back when you come to Hawaii again.
この度はご来場頂きまして、誠に有難うございます。楽しめて頂けたご様子で、私共も大変嬉しく思っております。またハワイにお越しの際には、ご来場頂けますよう、スタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げます。
The bus motor coach narrator was excellent. Humerous all the way. Will book again with my family! Very educative and informative experience!
This was so much fun, the crew were so great and helpful. They went out of their way to make the night special. The food was the best, nice and fresh outstanding
Thank you
Denise, Kathy and Carol
On the way there, the driver provided a tour guide in English. It's not a big deal, but I learned a lot of things I wouldn't have known if I had been traveling by rental car. It was surprisingly good.
The crew consisted of three women and Captain Bob. One of them could speak Japanese, but even if you're worried about your English, it's not a problem. Everyone was friendly and fun.
The sandbar is just a shallow area offshore, so there's nothing particularly special, but you can practice snorkeling or play beach volleyball. I thought about walking to the end, but there were larger stones (pieces of coral) along the way, and it hurt my feet without sandals. It was also too wide to reach the end.
Next was turtle watching. This time, there were few turtles. However, there were a lot of mantas that came very close to the boat.
While snorkeling, there was a large turtle right nearby. After taking a ton of photos, I circled around the coral reef that spans about 1 km. When I returned to the boat to take a break, I spotted a shark. It seemed to be sleeping, so I dove down and got about a meter close to it.
There were many unexpected discoveries, and it was incredibly fun.
行きのバスではドライバーが英語で観光案内してくれる。大した話ではないがレンタカーで移動していたら知りえないことがいろいろ聞けた。意外とよかった。
船員は女性3名+キャプテンBOB。日本語ができる方は1名だが英語が心配な方でも問題ない。皆さん気さくで楽しい。
サンドバーは沖合の浅瀬というだけで特段何もないが、シュノーケルの練習やビーチ(?)バレーができる。端まで歩こうと思ったが、途中から大きめの石(サンゴのかけら)が多くなりサンダルがないと足が痛い。そもそも広すぎて端まで行けなかった。
次にタートルウォッチング。今回は亀は少なかった。しかし、マンタが大量にいて船のすぐ近くまで来てくれた。
シュノーケルでは、大きな亀がすぐ近くにいた。写真を撮りまくった後、周囲1Kmあるサンゴ礁をぐるりと一周。船に戻って休憩しよと思ったらサメを発見。寝ているようだったので素潜りで1mぐらいまで近づいてみた。
想定外の発見がいろいろあってめちゃくちゃ楽しかった。
We went to this Legends show November 2013 and loved it so much we had to see it again. After a very bountiful dinner buffet with plenty of variety and a traditional Hawaiian luau, you get to watch a fantastic live concert that goes through a journey of Music emphasis on Hawaiian artists. Wonderful tribute artists perform and accompanied by terrific dancing. Then as a bonus a fantastic fire dancer is added to it all. Just great entertainment all round and you could tell the crowd just loved it. Highly recommend this show.
I was torn between a large ship, but since I had a toddler with me, I decided to join this optional tour where toddlers are free at the buffet. A welcome drink is included, and you can enjoy unlimited food while sipping on that. With live music, hula dancers performed, and everyone on board danced and had a great time. The waitresses were also lively and good at dancing. There were many non-Japanese guests, and we celebrated together with people from various countries, including those celebrating anniversaries and birthdays. The sunset started to become visible around 6:30, and I was able to capture beautiful photos.
大きい船と迷ったのですが幼児もいたのでバイキングで幼児は無料となっているこのオプショナルツアーに参加しました。ウエルカムドリンクは1杯付いていて、そちらを飲みながら好きな食事をとり放題。生演奏の中フラを踊ってくれて乗船されたみんなで踊り盛り上がりました。ウエイトレスものりのりで、踊りが上手でした。日本人以外が多く色々な国の方と一緒に盛り上がり結婚記念日と誕生日の方もいてみんなでお祝い。夕陽が6時半位から見え始め綺麗に写真におさめることができました。
The sandbar's low tide timing was perfect... but the weather was overcast.
I had a 20-minute snorkeling session and got to see a lot of turtles.
Above, there was a large school of saury, and below, I spotted an eel!
It was a good decision to bring marine boots instead of going barefoot on the sandbar.
If I had enough space in my bag, I might have brought short fins for snorkeling.
I hope the weather is fantastic next time!
サンドバー 干潮時間ばっちり・・・ただ鉛色のお空の天気が・・
20分のシュノーケリングでしたが、たくさんのカメさんにお会いできました。
上にはサヨリの大群が観られましたし、下にはウツボ発見!
サンドバーには裸足でなくマリンブーツ持参で正解。
シュノーケルは荷物に余裕があれば短いフィンでも持ってくればよかったかなぁ。
次回は天気が最高です・よ・う・に。
Aloha! I'm really glad to hear that you enjoyed snorkeling. It sounds like you even encountered an eel!
By the way, I sincerely apologize, but we do not allow the use of fins. This is to prevent any accidental kicking of other guests while being mesmerized by the beautiful sea. Thank you for your understanding regarding safety. I hope you can enjoy your next visit under a wonderful blue sky. We look forward to seeing you again!
アロハ!シュノーケルとっても楽しんで頂けたようで本当に良かったです。ウツボにも遭遇したんですねー。
ちなみに大変申し訳ないのですがフィンの使用はお断りしているんですよ。美しい海にみとれてしまい、誤って他のお客様をフィンで蹴ってしまう可能性がある為です。安全の為にご理解下さいね。次回はう〜んと素敵な青空のもとで楽しんで頂けますように。お待ちしてます。
We were picked up by a large bus. We picked up many people from hotels, and 98% of the group was Japanese. Once everyone was gathered, a monitor and announcements explained the process in Japanese.
After arriving at Wet 'n' Wild, we confirmed the bus number and meeting point, handed over our vouchers at the entrance, and then went through a bag check to enter. There is a shop where you can buy water, juice, and waterproof cases if needed (the waterproof case was about $25).
As we moved further in, there was a roofed area with lockers on the left where you can store your belongings. In front of the row of lockers, there is a monitor screen where you can rent a locker. You select the size of the locker, set a passcode, and after payment, you are told, "Your locker number is X." You can use that locker freely. Credit card payments are accepted, and the operation can be done in Japanese. Nearby, there is a shop (with hamburger sets), and in front of it, there are chairs and tables available for use. We left our swimsuits, towels, and sandals there and stored our valuables in the locker. I brought a leisure sheet just in case to reserve a spot, but it wasn't necessary.
You walk to each attraction, so it's easier to wear sandals the whole time. Even though it was spring break, the ground got quite hot. At the entrance of many attractions, you had to take off your sandals and climb stairs to start, which could have been tough in the middle of summer.
Each attraction has different inner tubes. You typically receive the inner tube from someone who has just finished at the goal point and carry it back to the starting point. There were many thrilling rides, which were fantastic. For some reason, not all attractions were open at once; they were opened alternately. If it’s like this during summer vacation, it might be a bit disappointing... There’s a possibility that attractions you plan to do later might close after a while, so be cautious.
Since it was still a season with fewer people, we didn’t have to wait long for lunch, and we could buy and eat quickly before heading to the next attraction. However, I wonder how it will be in the peak summer season? I was a bit worried about that. Despite the lines, the staff seemed quite relaxed... (laughs)
We left at 2:30 PM to make it back by 3 PM, but it seemed like many tours followed the same pattern, resulting in a long line. I feel there are too few changing rooms. The restrooms are in the same area, so some people were changing in the restroom.
Also, I thought it would be nice if we could play until closing time even if we weren't leaving at 3:15 PM. However, renting a car in an unfamiliar area is nerve-wracking, and if you plan to go during a busy season, it might be a good idea to eat something just before arriving and skip lunch to enjoy the attractions.
The thrilling attractions that are hard to experience in Japan were incredibly fun! 😊
大型バスでのお迎えでした。たくさんのホテルで拾って98%日本人で出発でした。
全員そろった時点で、モニターとアナウンスが日本語で流れを説明してくれます。
ウェット・アンド・ワイルドに着いた後、バスの番号と集合場所を確認して、入口でバウチャーを渡して、その後荷物チェックされて入場でした。
売店があるので、そこで必要な方はお水やジュース、防水ケースなどを買うことができます。(防水ケースは25ドルくらいでした)
更に進むと左手にロッカーの屋根があり、そこで荷物を預けられます。ロッカーの並んでいる棚の手前にモニター画面があり、そこでロッカーの契約をします。ロッカーの大きさを選び、暗証番号を決めて支払いをした後に、「あなたのロッカーは何番です。」と指定されますので、その番号のロッカーを使用します。出し入れ自由。クレジットカード支払いOKです。日本語で操作できます。近くに売店(ハンバーガーとかのセット)があり、その前に自由に使える椅子とテーブルがありました。水着やタオル、サンダルはそこに置き、貴重品をロッカーに入れて動きました。レジャーシートを念のために場所取り用に持って行ったのですが、不要でした。
各アトラクションまで、歩くのでサンダルはずっと履いていた方が楽です。春休みだったのに、結構足元が暑くなってました。アトラクションの入口でサンダルを脱いで、階段を上ってスタートするパターンが多かったのですが、真夏だったら、大変だったかも・・・。
各アトラクションで浮き輪が違います。やりたいアトラクションのゴール地点で降りてきた人の浮き輪をもらって、スタート地点まで持って上がるパターンが多かったと思います。
絶叫ものが多くて最高でした。なぜか、全部アトラクションを開放せず、交代で開放してました。夏休みもこんな感じだったら、ちょっと残念です・・・。後でやろうと思ったアトラクションが、しばらく経ったら閉鎖になることもあり得ますので、注意です。
まだ人が多くないシーズンだったので、ランチもそこまで並ばず、すぐに買って食べて、次のアトラクションへ~~とスムーズに行けましたが、真夏とかどうなるのかなぁ?とちょっと心配になりました。
行列の割には、どこのスタッフものんびりですし・・・(笑)
帰りは2時半に上がり、3時の集合に間に合うように・・・と更衣室に向かったのですが、同じパターンのツアーが多かったようで、行列でした。
更衣室の数が少なすぎる気がします。トイレも同じ場所にあるので、トイレで着替えている人もいました。
また、3時15分出発でなくても、閉園時間まで遊ばせてもらえても良いのでは?と思いました。
かといって、慣れないところをレンタカーして行くのもドキドキするし、もし激こみシーズンに行かれるのであれば、到着ギリギリに何か食べて、ランチなしで遊ぶのも手かもしれません。
日本には、なかなか体験することのできない絶叫アトラクション、最高に楽しかったです(^^♪
The weather was cloudy, and it was a bit chilly due to the wind. If you have a bath towel or something to block the wind, it’s not a problem.
The lockers can be accessed with a 4-digit PIN, and you can use them as many times as you want. The large locker costs $18, which is a bit pricey.
For men who want to show off their skills on the FlowRider to their family, be prepared with an excuse. It’s really difficult. I have experience with surfing and wakeboarding, but I couldn't do it at all. The board is unstable and slippery on the waves because it doesn’t have fins or channels on the bottom.
The various slides are enjoyable for families and even adults. Selfie sticks and GoPros were allowed.
天気は曇りで、風があったので肌寒かった
風よけにバスタオルなどがあれば問題ないです
ロッカーは4桁の暗証番号で出し入れは何度でもOK。largeのロッカーは$18とやや高め
ダ・フローライダーでカッコいいところを家族に見せたい男性の方は言い訳を準備しておいて下さい。すごく難しいです。サーフィン、ウェイクボード経験者ですが全く出来ませんでした。ボードのボトムにフィンやチャンネルが無いので波の上では不安定でツルンツルンです。
スライダー各種は家族連れはもちろん、大人でも楽しめます
自撮り棒、Go ProはOKでした。
In the morning, when we were picked up, there was a group of Japanese people. I was worried because they couldn't speak English, but the staff kindly explained everything in Japanese, which was a relief. Even the older couple nearing their sixties were fine.
In the sea, we encountered four groups of 20 to 30 dolphins. We only saw sea turtles from a distance, though.
On the boat, the staff entertained us. It was the best experience!
The bus was cold.
朝、ピックアップされたら何と日本人一組。
英語話せないし、どうしようと思っていたら、スタッフの人達が日本語で個人的に親切に説明してくれ、安心安心。還暦前のおじさんおばさんも大丈夫でし
海では、イルカ20~30頭の群れを4群れと会いました。海亀は、遠くから見えただけだけど
船の上では、スタッフ達が楽しませてくれました。
最高でしたよ。
バスの中が寒かった
Thank you for participating in Dolphin & You. We are very happy to hear that you enjoyed it. When you come to Hawaii again, please be sure to visit us. We also appreciate your feedback about the bus being cold. I will pass that on to the transportation manager.
この度は、ドルフィン&ユーへご参加いただきましてありがとうございます。楽しんでいただけて私たちスタッフもとても嬉しいです。ハワイにお越しの際は、ぜひ、また遊びにきてください。バスの中が寒かったというご意見もありがとうございます。トランスポーテーションマネージャーに伝えさせていただきます。
We participated as a family of four. There were many types of water slides, and the kids had a blast enjoying them until the very last minute.
The tornado ride that we could all enjoy together was really fun, and we went on it three times. The kids seemed to really love the flow rider and are saying they want to go again!
The park had an all-you-can-eat BBQ plan, but the food was already prepared and there weren't many options. Some of the salads were spoiled, which was a bit disappointing... If it weren't for that, it would have been a five-star experience.
家族4人で参加しました。
ウォータースライダーの種類が多く、子供達も大喜びで時間ギリギリまで満喫しました。
家族で乗れるトルネードが本当に楽しくて、3回も乗りました。
子供達はフローライダーにハマったらしく、また行きたい!と言っています。
園内はBBQ食べ放題のプランでしたが、すでに調理済みの料理が並べられた物で、種類が少なく、サラダが傷んでいたりと若干残念でした…
これがなければ☆5つでしたね。
I was picked up at the hotel, and although it started raining on the way, it stopped when we arrived. Then it rained again when we got on the boat, but it stopped once more. I was most concerned about the water level, but it was low, and we actually had a sandy beach! ❤
The staff were kind and friendly, taking photos with us and even acting as photographers, so we got a lot of great pictures. ✌
Right after that, we went snorkeling, and the staff provided very thorough instructions on putting on life jackets and masks, checking everything, and practicing to ensure that even first-timers could do it safely.
During snorkeling, the staff were always with us, making sure we didn't bump into the coral and showing us where the turtles were, so we could enjoy watching beautiful fish and turtles while feeling safe.
The BBQ on the boat was also very delicious, and we really had a great time and made wonderful memories.
Thank you so much to all the friendly staff. I definitely want to use this tour again when I visit Hawaii next time.
ホテルでピックアップしてもらい、行く途中に雨が降ってきたのに着いたらやみ、船に乗ったらまた雨が降ってきてまたやみ、という繰り返しでしたが、一番気にしていた水位も低くなんと砂浜でした❤
スタッフの人も優しく親切で一緒に写真を撮ったり、カメラマンになってくれたりでいい写真が沢山撮れました✌
その後すぐにシュノーケリングでしたが、ライフジャケットの装着からマスクの装着の説明、点検、練習と、初めての方でも事故の無いようにととても丁寧な対応でした。
シュノーケリングではスタッフの人が常に一緒で珊瑚に当たらないよう見ていてくれたり、カメの居場所を教えてくれたりと安心して綺麗な魚やカメを見ながらシュノーケリングできました。
また船上のBBQもとても美味しくてほんとにいい時間、いい思い出ができました。
フレンドリーなスタッフの皆さま、本当にありがとうございました。
また今度ハワイに行った時も是非利用したいツアーです。
Aloha! Thank you for joining the Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour. It’s clear from your message that you had a great time, and it brought a smile to our faces as well. We truly appreciate it. We are looking forward to the day we can meet with Happy Life again. Mahalo!
アロハ!キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーにご参加ありがとうございした。
とっても楽しんで頂けた様子が文章からも伝わって来てこちらもついつい笑顔になってしまいました。こちらこそ本当にありがとうございます。
またハッピーライフ様にお会い出来る日を今から楽しみにお待ちしてます。マハロ!
I participated with my 6th and 4th grade children! All the slides were fun. The hamburgers for lunch were delicious, and I want to go again!
小学6年と4年の子どもと参加しました!スライダーはどれも楽しかったです。お昼のハンバーガーも美味しかったし、また行きたいです!
I made a reservation before my trip because I really wanted to ride this catamaran that I saw in Waikiki before. The cruising experience was just as pleasant as I expected, but I was a bit disappointed that there was no sailing.
However, the wind, sea, and sun made it absolutely wonderful.
以前ワイキキで見た、このカタマラン、今回は是非乗って見たいと出発前から予約しました。
予想通り気持ちのいいクルージングでしたが、一点、セイリングが無かったのが残念でした。
でも、風と海と太陽と、気持ち良さは最高。
We enjoyed the event. Our driver Patrick was very pleasant and knowledgeable. For the price you can’t go wrong! I would recommend for those that want to experience Pearl Harbor and Honolulu in an efficient yet enjoyable way.
The day after the wedding, eight family members from both sides (ages 21 to 65) participated. The weather was nice, and we enjoyed walking slowly along the sandbar together. We took a lot of photos, and the staff were kind and helpful, which we appreciated.
For snorkeling, we were told we would swim in a spot where our feet wouldn't touch the bottom for 20 minutes. Since both mothers from each family were not confident, I decided to stay back as well. However, we were able to rent a boat and snorkel in shallower areas, which was a lot of fun. We even got to swim with sea turtles in the shallow water! By the way, my 65-year-old father really enjoyed snorkeling too (laughs).
The BBQ lunch was buffet-style, and the meat was tastier than I expected! There were also desserts. The staff were attentive and asked if we wanted more juice, which made us very satisfied!
結婚式翌日、両家の家族8人(21~65歳)で参加しました。
天気もよく、サンドバーをゆっくりみんなで歩いて楽しかったです。写真もたくさん撮っていただいて、スタッフのみなさんも優しくてありがたかったです。
シュノーケリングは20分間足がつかない場所で泳ぐとのことで、両家の母親が自信がないと残ったので私も残ったのですが、ボートの貸し出しや浅い場所でのシュノーケリングをさせていただき、とても楽しかったです。浅いところでもしっかりウミガメと泳げました!ちなみに65歳の父はしっかりシュノーケリング楽しめたそうです₍笑₎
BBQランチはビュッフェスタイルですが、お肉が思ったよりおいしかったです!デザートもありました。ジュースのおかわりもスタッフの方が気を遣って聞いてくれたりして大満足でした!
Aloha! Congratulations on your wedding. Thank you very much for having everyone from both families participate.
You were able to swim with the sea turtles, huh? We look forward to the day we can meet again, along with the sea turtles.
アロハ!ご結婚おめでとうございます。両家の皆様でご参加頂き本当にありがとうございました。
ウミガメとも泳げたんですね。また皆様にお会い出来る日をウミガメとともにお待ちしております。
The crew were friendly and incredibly accommodating both on the boat and in the water. The guides were great at pointing out the sealife on the reef while we snorkeled. The sea turtles were everywhere! Wonderful trip and well worth the money.
the staff was awesome, had a great time at the sandbar and snorkeling. this was such a unique experience.
I wanted to see the largest living creature up close, and that wish came true. When I participated in a tour in Okinawa before, I could only see a blow, but this time I got to see "peduncle arch," "fluke up," and even from a distance, "breaching." The boat was large, so we couldn't get too close, but it was wonderful to see the humpback whale with the naked eye. I think it depends on the weather, but on the day of the tour, the wind was quite strong on the sea, and there were waves, so I recommend bringing a sweater or jumper for warmth.
現存で生息する最大の生物をまじかで見たい。それが叶いました。
以前沖縄でツアーに参加した時はブローしか観られませんでしたが、「ペダンクルアーチ」「フルークアップ」遠目でしたが「ブリーチング」までサービスしてくれました。船が大きいため、あまり接近は出来ませんでしたが肉眼でザトウクジラを観ることができてとてもよかったです。天候にもよると思いますが当日海上はけっこう風が強く、波もあって寒かったのでセーターかジャンパー等の寒さよけの備えはしていったほうが良いと思います。
I traveled to Hawaii without deciding what to do and made reservations on-site. I booked the Segway and Kualoa Ranch by phone, but it was inconvenient without a local number. However, with Veltra, everything was done via email and in Japanese, which was super convenient...!!!
On Saturday morning, I wanted to go to the farmers' market featured in the manga "Chatterbox After Breakfast," so I reserved the afternoon barbecue lunch option.
Basically, wearing a swimsuit is fine. I wore a bikini-style swimsuit that looked almost like clothes, along with a cover-up and a T-shirt, and most people around me were dressed similarly.
Depending on the weather, the day I went was not great, and it was really cold. I passed by the morning group at the dock, and everyone looked cold, but aside from that, it was really good.
- The barbecue lunch was a buffet style on the boat, and surprisingly delicious.
- I encountered a sea turtle. It came close to the boat as if the captain was keeping it. It swam right next to us.
- The snorkeling was fun with high visibility.
- For those who want to try stand-up paddleboarding, it's available! I didn't do it, but I regretted not trying.
- Hot coffee and tea were also available.
- Photos can be downloaded from the web later.
They also lend wetsuits for free to those who want them. Onboard, they sell waterproof disposable cameras, beach shoes, rash guards, T-shirts, and anti-nausea bands. The prices aren't excessively high compared to the market, so it might be worth buying. They also offer rentals for waterproof digital cameras.
What I was glad I brought was a waterproof case for my phone. Depending on the time and season, the day I went had quite a bit of water, and there weren't any beautiful dry sandy beaches like in the guidebooks. The water level was consistently around chest to shoulder height. A regular phone would definitely get submerged.
I brought a regular-sized towel, but a slightly larger one or even a bath towel would have been better since it was cold.
I want to try again on a nice day!
ハワイで、なにをするかも決めずにバタバタと渡航して、現地から予約。セグウェイとかクアロアランチは電話予約したのですが、現地の番号がないと不便でしたが、ベルトラからだとオールEメール、オール日本語でめっちゃ便利....!!!
土曜、午前中は、漫画「おしゃべりは朝ごはんのあとで」のハワイ編でも紹介されていたファーマーズマーケットへ行きたかったので、午後のバーベキューランチ付きの方を予約。
基本的に水着を着てけばオーケー。わたしはビキニタイプのほぼ洋服みたいな水着に、はおりもの+Tシャツでいきましたが、周りもほとんど同じような感じです。
天候によりますが、わたしが行った日は天候に恵まれず、すごく寒かったです。。
船着場で午前便の人たちとすれ違ったのですが、皆さん寒そうでファンになりましたが、寒い、という以外はすごくよかったです。
-バーベキューランチは船上でビュッフェすたいるなんだけど、以外と美味しい。
-ウミガメ遭遇しました。キャプテンが飼ってるんじゃないかというくらい船に寄ってくる。リアルに横を泳ぐ。
-シュノーケルも透明度高くて楽しかった
-Supやりたい人は体験可能!これやらなかったんだけど、やればよかったと後悔。
-飲み物はホットのコーヒーとお茶もある
-写真は後日一枚、ウェブからダウンロード可能
ウェットスーツも希望者に無料で貸し出してくれます。
船上での販売物として、写ルンです(防水)、ビーチシューズ、ラッシュガード、Tシャツ、酔い止め防止バンドなどあります。相場より並外れて高いというほどではないので、購入してもいいかも。防水デジカメの貸し出しもあるそうです。
持って行ってよかったのは携帯の防水ケース。時間と時期によるのか、わたしが行った日はだいぶ水があって、ガイドブックに載ってるような干上がった美しい砂浜はなかったです。常に胸下から肩くらいまでの水位。普通の携帯なら確実に水没します。
タオルは普通サイズのタオルでいったんだけど、少し大きめか、いっそバスタオルがよかったかも。寒かったから。
天気いい時にリベンジしたい!
Aloha! Thank you for participating in the Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour.
Thank you for the very detailed report! I hope it will be helpful for everyone. We look forward to welcoming you back, Chiyoko! With the sea turtles!
アロハ!キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーにご参加頂いてありがとうございました。
とっても詳細なレポートありがとうございます!! 皆様に参考にして頂けると嬉しいです。Chiyoko様のリベンジ参加。ウミガメとともにお待ちしてます!!
My family had a fantastic time! Thanks for an enjoyable experience. Seeing the dolphins was the highlight! We would do this again.
My husband and I went on a North shore / O'ahu tour a week ago with Aloha Island Expedition. We had a wonderful time and we got to see and experience a lot of unique sites throughout the day. It was the best day we've had in our 3-weeks visit to Hawai'i. Our guide was very friendly, thoughtful and knowledgeable and he really customized the day's activities based on our interests. He went out of his way to make sure that everything went smoothly and that we had the best time. We saw so much in 8-hours! Some of the highlights of our tour were: the Royal Mausoleum, the Green World coffee farms (such good coffee!), the many beaches along the North Shore, the Byodo-Inn temple, the Nu'uanu pali and (my personal favorite) the Ulupo heiau. Our lunch of Huli-Huli chicken and Garlic shrimp was also ono! There was nothing negative to say about the tour. It was all around wonderful. We would highly recommend it to anyone interested in seeing O'ahu in a more "authentic" light as well as people trying to see all that they can see in a day. We will definitively book another tour through Aloha Island Expedition the next time we come back to O'ahu. Mahalo nui, guys, for a job very well done!
The Japanese guide and all the staff were very cheerful and made the experience enjoyable! However, the weather was bad with rain and wind, and it was very cold, so we couldn't see any beautiful scenery at all... Everyone was shivering... It made me want to go home early. There's nothing we can do about the weather, though. This is part of the nature experience. Towards the end, they served us warm drinks, which was a relief. To be honest, I wish they had served them a bit earlier.
日本のガイドさんもスタッフ皆さんも、とても明るく楽しく盛り上げてくれて良かっです!
しかし、天気が悪く雨と風でとても寒く、綺麗な景色も全く見れず…
みんなブルブルガクガク…
寒いから早く帰りたくなりました。
天気ばかりは、どうしようもないですね。
これも、自然体験。
最後の方に温かい飲み物を出してくれてホッとしました。もう少し早く出して欲しかったのが本音。
