Oahu
The sandbar had clear and beautiful water.
As expected, the sightseeing in Japan was enjoyable.
The pickup arrived on time.
サンドバーは水が澄んでいてとてもきれいでした。
やはり日本語の観光は楽でした。
時間通りに迎えも来ました。

We participated in this cruise as the start of my cousin's bachelor party and boy what a great way to start it out! The catamaran was so cool, there was plenty of room for everyone, the staff was helpful and very friendly, and the views were breathtaking. We even saw a sea turtle at the end! The staff made it so fun and made some pretty good drinks to boot. The appetizers were not great, but that is not why we were on the cruise. It was a relaxing and easy cruise right off the pier and around Diamond Head. The sunset views were beautiful. I would highly recommend taking a sunset Waikiki Sail on the Spirit of Aloha.
I had high expectations, so I was a bit disappointed with the service. I arrived 40 minutes before opening time and had to wait in the blazing sun until the park opened. There were very few shaded areas near the entrance, making it quite tough for small children.
I had made a reservation for a cabana in advance, but the staff initially said there was no reservation. Since it wasn't booked, the person at the reception left their post. After showing the reservation form and negotiating through the wasted time, they finally prepared the cabana for us.
On the positive side, the staff were Japanese, and it was great that each cabana had a dedicated staff member who took drink and food orders without us having to wait. They were very kind!
期待も大きかったので少しサービス面で残念な面がありました。
開園時間よりも40分前に到着しましたが炎天下の中で開園まで待ちぼうけ、入り口付近には屋根が少なく日陰も少ないので小さいお子さんはかなり辛そうでした。
事前にガバナを予約していきましたが現地で予約されていないという対応からはじまり、予約されていないため受付の子が席をはずしてしまいました。その後予約表を見せながら無駄時間と交渉後ようやく用意がされました。
良い点は日本の方でしたがガバナごとに担当者がついて飲み物、食事を待たずに注文できたのは良いですね！とても親切でした！

There are Japanese staff members, but the basic staff members are English speakers, so if you don't understand English, you might feel left out. I thought it might have been better to have more university-related staff.
When boarding the boat, it's better to sit in the open back so you can participate in various activities and enjoy yourself.
I applied for photos, but you won't get photographed unless you actively ask for it. During the time to enjoy activities, make sure to go and say, "Please take my picture!"
Many people were feeling seasick. It was nice weather, though. The motion sickness wristbands I bought on the pickup bus were expensive, but I believe they helped my daughters and me not to get sick! Our family usually has a weak constitution.
日本人のスタッフの方もいますが、基本英語のスタッフの方々が楽しい会話をしていますので、英語がわからないと置いてけぼり感を感じます。
大学さん系の方が良かったかなーと思いました。
船に乗るときは屋根のない後方に座ったほうが色々と参加できて楽しめます。
写真を申し込みましたが、積極的にアピールしに行かないと写してもらえません。
アクテビティを楽しむ時間には「写して〜」とアピールしに行きましょう。
かなりの方が船酔いしていました。
良いお天気だったのですが。
ピックアップのバスの中で買った酔い止めのリストバンド、高いですが、我が家の娘達&私が酔わなかったのはこれのおかげだと思います‼︎普段弱い家族なので。

I was disappointed that I couldn't enter Hanauma Bay, which I had been looking forward to (I would have liked more detailed information online indicating that entry might not be possible even on days other than Tuesday). The town on the North Shore felt quite run-down, and others around me also said there wasn't anything particularly impressive. I would have preferred to visit the site of the Pearl Harbor attack, or I had heard from friends that the train at Dole was really nice, so I wished I had more time to ride the train there. The guide was very entertaining (though it was a bit disappointing that there were many advertisements for accessories).
The Polynesian Cultural Center was good. I appreciated how hard the students worked to explain things. I understood the drama-style shows somewhat in English, but I think I would have enjoyed it more if the guide or students had explained a simple story in Japanese beforehand. Since it was outdoors, even at night it felt hot and a bit long. The final fire show was spectacular and very moving.
期待していたハナウマ湾にはいれなくてガッカリでした（ネットの詳細に、火曜日以外でもはいれない可能性がある旨の説明がほしい）、ノースショアのタウンはさびれた町というかんじで格別感動するところはないと周りの人達も言っていた、それよりも、真珠湾攻撃の場所を見学したかった、又はドールの汽車がとてもいいと友達からきいていたので、ドールで汽車に乗る時間がほしかった。ガイドさんはとても面白い方でした（アクセサリーの宣伝が多いのがちょっと残念でしたが）
ポリネシア文化センターは良かった。学生さんたちがとても一生懸命説明してくれるのが好感もてた。ドラマ仕立てのショーはすべて英語で何となくわかったが、事前に簡単なストーリーを日本語でガイドさん又は学生さんが説明してくれてばもっと楽しめたと思う、野外なので、夜といえども暑くてちょっと長く感じた。最後のファイヤーショーは圧巻でとても感動した。

I was looking forward to the meal before the show based on the reviews, but it was disappointing. ⤵ The seating during the show was good and easy to see, but the development of the one-hour show was lacking and I got bored.
ショーの前の食事のクチコミを読んで期待していましたがそれ程ではではなくがっかり⤵
ショータイムも席は見やすく良い席でしたが1時間程のショーの展開がイマイチであきてしまいます。

There is a similar water park in Tokyo, but we went there at the request of the kids. As expected, the slides were extremely crowded, and it didn't feel enjoyable at all. I don't think we'll go there on our next trip.
東京にも同様のウォーターパークがありますが、子供の希望により行きました。ある程度予測できたことですが、スライダー類はとにかく混んでいて、楽しいという感じではありませんでした。次回の旅行では、まず行かないと思います。

Throughout the afternoon, we went around to various places, and while the guide was very diligent in providing information, we only spent about 10 to 15 minutes at each location. If you need to use the restroom, that time is quickly up. When you have kids with you, it’s hard to move around, so there were times we didn’t get off the bus. I think it might be better to focus on fewer points of interest. The jewelry shop might not be necessary. The Polynesian Cultural Center is sufficient to visit in the afternoon. The buffet for lunch and dinner has almost the same offerings, so one visit is enough. They sell a variety of food. The last show ends at 9 PM, so it gets late, but the show was wonderful.
午後中、あちこち回るんですが、ガイドさんは一生懸命案内してくださるけど、一箇所10分とか15分とか、トイレ行ったら終わり。子供連れてると動けないので、降りなかった時も。ちょっと、ポイントを絞っても良いかと思います。ジュエリーショップは、不要かな。ポリネシア文化センターは、午後からで十分。ビュッフェは夜と昼、ほぼ同じ中身ですから、どちらか一回で良いと思います。何でも食べるもの売ってます。最後のショーが終わると21時なので、夜遅くなるけど、ショーは素晴らしかったです。

Tropical fish gather around the coral, and when you offer them food, they take it from your hand. However, my 10-year-old son seemed to find it more interesting to catch sea slugs. The hamburger was delicious with a nice grilled aroma, the best! My 4-year-old son was thrilled to float around happily in his life jacket.
サンゴのそばに熱帯魚が群れて、もらった餌で寄せると手から取っていきます。でも、10歳の息子はウミウシをつかむ方が面白かった様です。ハンバーガー、直火が香ばしくて、最高！４歳のむすこは、ライフジャケットでプカプカ浮かんで大喜びでした。

Take the earliest shuttle (6:00 a.m. from your hotel) to avoid beach crowd and avoid the park fee (if you get there before 7:00 -- no additional park fee!).
Driver was courteous, informative and fun. Equipment was in great condition, and you can expand on what you get (which is basics, but enough) for very little cost.
Had about 2.5 hours of snorkeling fun.
I really loved the helicopter tour over Kilauea! The staff at blue Hawaiian were really helpful and our pilot Jeremy was really lovely. The flight went really quickly as there was just so much to see, we even got to see some lava in a crater. It's definitely not big pools of flowing lava on the surface but that would depend on your luck and Mother Nature. Loved it all the same. I found the coach part of this tour a bit too long, as did everyone on the tour. Honestly if it was 2hrs shorter it would have been more enjoyable.
Had such a lovely day on this tour, the guide showed us around town including the palace and the cemetery and gave us some great insights into local culture. Once at pearl harbour we were handed our tickets and told what times to be at what places, heading out to the Arizona was definitely a highlight for me. All in all an enjoyable day
It is located on the 4th floor of the Royal Hawaiian Center. There is a ticket counter where you can give your name and receive your tickets.
You can choose between alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. There are smoothies and other options, and since the air conditioning is a bit strong, it might be a good idea to bring a light jacket.
We happened to have seats in the center, but I think you can still enjoy it even from the side seats, as Mr. Presley might come to you as well.
ロイヤルハワイアンセンターの4階にあります。
チケット売り場があるので名前をいい、チケットを受け取ります。
ドリンクはアルコールとノンアルコールが選べます。
スムージーとそうでないものがあり、少し空調が効いているので薄手の上着を持っていくといいかもしれません。
私達はたまたまセンターの席でしたが、端の席でもプレスリーさんが来てくれたりするので充分楽しめると思います。
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 again when you come to Hawaii.
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。

We participated as a family of four. It was August, and all participants wore bodysuits. Those who were worried about seasickness purchased seasickness bands (for both wrists). Our family also took seasickness medication, but we wanted to enjoy ourselves, so we bought the bands. (Those without bands seemed to struggle with nausea!) We put on our snorkeling gear and jumped into the sea, following the person in front of us. We were lucky to swim with "dolphins," "sea turtles," and "fish" right away. After playing, we had lunch on the boat with hamburgers and fruit, and there was also a hula dance with the staff. Since we had signed up for photos ($60) on the bus ride there, we got to take commemorative pictures with the captain in the ship's upper control room, which made for great memories!
家族４人で参加しました。８月でしたが、参加者全員ボディスーツ着用して船酔いが心配な人は
酔い止めバンド（両手首）を購入しました。我が家も酔い止め薬は服用しましたが、楽しみたいのでバンド購入。（バンドない人は酔って辛そうでした！）シュノーケル道具一式を身に付けいざ、海に。前の人に続いて思い切りドボン！と飛び込み、すぐに「イルカ」「海亀」「魚」と一緒に泳げて、ラッキーでした。あそんだ後は、船上でハンバーガーとフルーツのランチやスタッフと一緒にフラダンスがありました。行きのﾊﾞｽの中で写真（＄６０）申し込んでいたので、船の屋上操縦室でキャプテンと記念撮影や写真も優遇してもらったりしていい記念になりました！

We had a great time on the boat with our two kids and baby. They lived seeing the fish and turtles through the glass. The captain and his mate were very friendly. We would do this again!
I think I went in August, which is the hottest time of the year. Even so, when the wind blows, it can be quite chilly. You definitely need something to wear over your swimsuit.
I visited on a Sunday in August, and there were quite a few people.
There aren't as many food stalls as in Japanese pools, so you have to wait in line for lunch.
The slides also had a decent line, so I couldn't ride them very much.
At the back, there’s a slide. I didn't initially understand how to line up, but the most popular slide (Rainbow Tube) is for two people or for the red and blue single-rider tubes. If you line up for the green tube, you'll waste time, so be careful. I saw many people having to line up again because of that. I also had to line up again at first...
I stayed for about 5 hours, excluding lunch, which means I spent around 4 hours in the pool. If I say I'm satisfied, then I am, but it's an expensive pool.
I recommend going on a weekday.
8月なので、一番暑い時期に行ったと思います。
それでも、風が吹くとまぁまぁ寒いです。
羽織るものは必要ですね
8月の日曜日に行きましたが、
そこそこ人がいます。
日本のプールほどではありませんが、売店も少ないので、
お昼は並びます。
スライダーもそこそこの行列でそんなに乗れませんでした。
奥にあるスライダー
並び方が最初はわかりませんでしたが、
一番人気のあるスライダー（虹のチューブ）は
2人乗り、または、赤と青の一人乗りチューブ用です。
緑チューブで並ぶと無駄な時間を過ごしますのでお気を付けください。
何人もそれで並びなおしをしているのを見かけました。
そういう私も最初は並びなおしになりましたが…
滞在時間 5時間 お昼ご飯の抜いて約4時間のプールですが、
満足と言えば満足
高いといえば高いプール
平日利用をお勧めします。

The guide was really great. At first, the makeup was so impressive that the kids were surprised, but thinking of it as a way to entertain the participants, it was a very service-oriented approach.
I was a bit surprised to receive sales at the black coral store, but I’m glad I bought something.
The Tonga zone at the Polynesian Cultural Center was very interesting. Now, I regret not raising my hand...
ガイドさんがとっても良かったです。
最初はすごいメイクだったので、子供もびっくりしていましたが、
参加者を喜ばせるための仕掛けだと思うと
とてもサービス精神のある言い方でした。
黒サンゴの店で販売を受けたのはちょっとびっくりしましたけど
買ってよかったと思っています。
ポリネシアン文化センターではトンガのゾーンがとっても面白かったです。
今となっては、手を挙げていればよかったと後悔しています・・・

We participated as a couple. We were the only Japanese people there. The explanation was only in English, but it was sufficient. The snorkeling lasted about 30 minutes, which was enough for us. The yacht ride afterwards was very refreshing with the splashes of water. Riding on the yacht became a great memory. The captain was really cool. It departs from Waikiki and returns in the morning, so I recommend it.
夫婦2人で参加しました。
日本人は私達だけでした。説明は英語だけでしたが、それなりに？
シュノーケリングは30分位でしたが、私達には十分でした。
そのあとのヨットは波しぶきをあげて、とても気持ち良かったです。
ヨットに乗れたことがいい思い出になりました。すごくかっこいいキャプテンでした。

It's smaller in scale than I expected. Also, I wouldn't recommend the all-you-can-eat lunch. The drinks are only carbonated soda, and there are only about four types of food. The pre-made options from the shop are tastier and cheaper, in my opinion.
思ってたより規模が小さいです。
それとランチ食べ放題はお勧めしません。
飲み物は炭酸ジュースのみ。食べ物も4種類くらいしかなく、作りおきで売店の方が美味しいし安いと思います。

I was able to see many sea turtles both from the boat and at the sandbar. The staff were friendly, and I had a very enjoyable time.

I attended my eldest son's wedding on Oahu. We played volleyball at the sandbar and had a snorkeling encounter with a turtle. We enjoyed delicious hamburgers, and our guide, Yuki, along with my son, Riza, helped create wonderful memories.

All the guided snorkeling tours were booked, so we decided to just book the shuttle to Hanauma Bay and do our own snorkeling excursion. It worked out perfectly! The driver arrived at the pick up location on time, was polite and personable, and we didn't have to get up super early to snag a parking spot before the lot filled up. And the snorkeling was great!
Saw this performance with my teen age daughter. It was a great show and we both enjoyed it. It was a fun night out in Waikiki. The dancers are the best part in my opinion. Elvis has strong vocals. Good band too. Excellent stage show - very entertaining. The food was great - my steak was cooked perfectly. Beautiful presentation. Even my picky daughter liked the food and tried the lobster. We had great seats - center stage up front. Everyone was very welcoming and the wait staff attentive. The drinks are quite tasty and pretty potent. We did the VIP package and the welcome mai tai was delicious. I'm glad we went.
I was able to experience the various cultures of the Polynesian islands firsthand. My middle school and elementary school children were also delighted to enjoy the world of Samoan movies.

Larry our guide was very knowledgeable about the city, and gave good direction on how to get the most out of the Arizona Memorial tour. Larry gave great suggestions on places to dine, and other places to see. Had a great day!
Our wedding party went as a group and all agreed it was the highlight of our trip. Highly recommend! Good lunch and great crew with phenomenal snorkeling. We swam with large sea turtles and it was amazing!
At first, it was cloudy, and I was worried because the color of the sea wasn't very nice.
After that, I was very moved to see a wild sea turtle, and then we went to the sandbar.
A few minutes after arriving, the weather cleared up, and it was very beautiful. I thought it would be a bit shallower, but it was surprisingly deep.
最初は曇ってて、あまりいい海の色ではなく心配しておりました。
その後、野生のウミガメを見れて、とても感動後、サンドバーへ
ついてから、数分後天気も晴れて、とっても綺麗でした。
もう少し浅瀬かと思いきや、意外と深かったです

Expected the glass to be under our feet but we had to get up and look through box, it was ok
Had a blast on this event! Although we did not see dolphins up close, we still saw amazing sea life and beautiful waters! First time snorkeling out this far and it was awesome! Worked up an appetite and the crew hit it off with some tasteful grub!!! Shaka to the crew!!!
Good time had by all. Loved the turtles! Delicious cheeseburgers
