Great experience! Staff were great! Went out of their way to make you feel welcome and very accommodating! Highly recommend these guys!

We had an amazing time at the Polynesian Cultural Center. We had the BEST tour guide. His name is Chad and he took us around the villages and we were able to see all the shows for the day!! He was super informative about the villages and shared a lot of history about the villages. In the evening we went to the Luau dinner which had great food while watching an amazing show!! After that, we went to the final show which was really the best part of the night!! They put on a beautiful show and highly recommend this to everyone!! This is a must do when coming to Hawaii!!!

I booked a plan with pick-up service. The tour bus was delayed, and we arrived about 30 minutes late, but we were able to extend our return time a bit, allowing us to fully enjoy our day.
Food and drinks are not allowed inside the park, so there was a baggage check before entry. Once we arrived, we headed straight to the lockers. The lockers are paid (small size: about 1,500 yen). They were a bit tight, just enough to fit two backpacks, but since we could access them freely throughout the day, they were quite convenient.
As for the large pools, there is the only wave pool in Hawaii and a 260-meter lazy river. The wave pool does not have waves at all times, so you need to be mindful of the timing (laughs). The lazy river has a depth of 90 cm, making it safe for small children to enjoy. It might be a bit lacking for adults.
The slides that adults can enjoy were very satisfying. The most fun one was the Tornado. It was a unique slide where you slide down from a height of about 15 meters into a 40-meter giant tornado. Another favorite was the Volcano Express. It’s an exhilarating slide where you slide down on your stomach through a thrilling lava slide filled with curves. Since you go down headfirst, it’s quite intense. You can also race, which adds to the fun.
There was hardly any wait time for any of the slides, so we were able to slide multiple times and fully enjoy our time. The plan also included unlimited drinks, so we took breaks to enjoy Pepsi and Tropicana. For lunch, I had a set of a hamburger and fries for about 1,200 yen.
We were blessed with great weather and had a very enjoyable day.

送迎付きのプランで予約しました。ツアーバスの出発が遅れてしまい、到着も30分ぐらい遅れましたが、帰りの時間も少し遅らせてもらえ、十分遊びつくすことができました。
パーク内には飲食物持ち込み不可なので、入場前に荷物検査がありました。着いたらまずロッカーへ。ロッカーは有料（小サイズ：約1,500円）。リュックサック２個がギリギリ入るかどうかという狭さでしたが、一日中出し入れ自由なので使い勝手は良かったです。
大きなプールとしては、ハワイ唯一という波の出るプールと全長260mの流れるプールがありました。波の出るプールは波が出ていない時間帯もあるのでタイミングに気をつける必要があります（笑）流れるプールは水深が90cmなので、小さなお子様も安心して楽しめます。大人にはちょっと物足りないかも。
大人でも楽しめるスライダーはとても充実していました。一番おもしろかったのはトルネードです。約15mの高さから40mの巨大な竜巻の中を滑り降りるユニークなスライドでした。もうひとつのお気に入りは、ボルケーノ・エクスプレスでした。カーブとスリルが満点の溶岩スライドをうつ伏せになって滑り降りる絶叫スライド。頭から滑り降りるので迫力満点です。競争もできるので楽しいですよ。
どのスライダーも待ち時間はほとんどなく、何度も滑ることができたので、時間内に十分満喫することができました。飲み放題もついたプランだったので、途中でペプシとかトロピカーナを飲んで休憩してました。お昼は、ハンバーガーとポテトのセットで約1,200円。
天気にも恵まれとても楽しい一日でした。

A little while ago, I thought it would be great to see whales, so I signed up for a tour.

On the day of the tour, the weather was nice and perfect for cruising, but the sunlight was so strong that it almost blinded me, haha.

As for the whales, I encountered them about five times, just barely seeing their heads in the distance. I really wanted to see them jump, but I guess that's just a matter of luck.

少し前ですが、せっかくなのでクジラを見てみたい！と思い申し込みました。

当日は天気もよく、クルージング日和でしたが、
日差しが強すぎて目が潰れそうでした笑

肝心のクジラは、遠くに頭が気持ち見える程度に、5回くらい遭遇。
ほんとはジャンプが見たかったですが、こればかりは運なのでしょうがないですね。

It was fun seeing the different Polynesian cultures, but it was a bit too long of a day. We checked in at noon and didn't leave the grounds until 10:30 at night. You walk around the stores and different villages that are set up, then you have your luau, which is a buffet. That was nice. When you are done with that, you have 2 - 21/2 hours to kill before the show "HA- breath of life" (which was very good). It would have been OK, but the villages closed up, so you had nothing to do before the show. We had an OK time.

After having dinner, we watched the show. The meat at dinner was very delicious. We were able to watch the show from a very good seat, right in the middle of the front row of the VIP section, and we even got to take photos and have a handshake. Personally, I enjoyed the fire dance the most. Although we weren't very familiar with songs by Elvis or Michael Jackson, we had a great time. However, if you participate, it might be even more enjoyable if you do some preparation in advance. The location is also within the Royal Hawaiian Center, which is easily accessible, so if you have the time, I definitely recommend joining.

ディナーを頂いてから、ショーを見るという流れでした。
ディナーはお肉がとてもおいしかったです。
ショーについてはVIP席の中でも真ん中の最前列という非常にいい席でみることができ、写真や握手もしてもらえました。
個人的にはファイヤーダンスが一番楽しかったです。
私たちはエルビスやマイケルジャクソンの曲などをあまり知らなかったですが、十分楽しむことができましたが、参加する際は、事前に予習しておくと更に楽しめるかもしれません。
場所もロイヤルハワイアンセンター内でアクセスもよく、時間があればぜひ参加してもらえればと思います。

This was our first time visiting Hawaii and we definitely wanted to check out a catamaran tour. This was by far the best choice for us. The tour was amazing! Very convenient and affordable choice.

I enjoyed turtle watching, beach volleyball, and other activities that I don't usually get to do. The weather was a bit disappointing, but I had a great time playing and felt like a child again. The sound of the experienced old man's guitar was also fantastic!

　亀のウォッチング、そして、ビーチバレーと普段できない遊びを楽しませていただきました。
　天気は多少残念でしたが、童心に帰って楽しく遊ばせていただきました。
　老練のおじさんのギター片手のサウンドも最高でした！！

I had a hard time finding a good restaurant in Waikiki, but after making a reservation online this time, I found it to be tastier than I expected. I invited a friend, and I'm glad they enjoyed it.

なかなかワイキキで美味しい店に今まで巡り会えず、今回事前ネット申込で行ってみたら、思ったより美味しく知り合いを招待したのですが、喜んでもらえてよかったです。

This was my second dinner cruise on my third trip to Hawaii, but it seemed shorter than the last time. I was disappointed that the cruise ended before the night view started.

三度目のハワイ旅行で二度目のデイナークルーズでしたが前回より時間が短かつたようでした。夜景が始まる前にクルーズが終わり残念でした。

I was able to see wild dolphins swimming in a pod for the first time. I also got to see sea turtles up close in the water... it was moving. The hamburger for lunch was delicious too!

The group I joined consisted entirely of Japanese customers. Perhaps because of that, a Japanese female crew member was there from the pickup, which made me feel at ease. I participated at the end of June, and since it was quite windy, I followed the advice of the Japanese female crew member and borrowed a wetsuit over my rash guard. As a result, the water temperature was comfortable, and I didn't feel too cold while on the boat.

By the way, it might be good to have a chamois towel (which you can use to wipe off most of the moisture and can be reused if you wring it out towards the sea) and a dry beach towel (to use as much as possible without getting wet, draping it over your back) with you. The air conditioning on the return bus is strong too...

初めて野生のイルカが群れをなして泳ぐところを見ることができました。ウミガメも海の中で、至近距離で見ることができ・・・感動。
ランチのハンバーガーも美味しかったです！

私が参加したグループは日本人のお客さんばかりでした。それもあってか？日本人女性のクルーがピックアップの時点からいてくださっていて、安心でした。
参加したのは6月末ですが、風が強かったこともあり、日本人女性クルーのアドバイスに従ってラッシュガードの上からさらにウェットスーツを借りて着ました。結果、海の水温もそれで心地よく、船上に上がっている時もあまり寒くありませんでした。
ちなみに、セームタオル一本（これで主な水分を拭き取る。海に向かって絞れればまた使えるので便利）と、乾いたビーチタオル（なるべく最後まで濡らさず背中にかけたりして使う）があると良いかもしれません。
帰りのバスも、冷房が強いですので・・・。

As in the title we definitely saw turtles on the trip. I was however disappointed with an $89 each cost associated. We were picked up and driven to the marina which is at Waikiki and could have walked there quicker. We took the early 8 am tour which departed around 8:30 and minutes later we were in the water and swimming with the turtles which was great. Outside of the turtles there wasn't much more to see. After less than an hour of snorkeling I was told to get back on the boat to depart. Ten minutes later we were exiting the boat. There was no time to enjoy the "open bar" really at all, and it was only 9 am. For the money we should have at least got some extra time on the boat cruising around, maybe a loop back toward Pearl or something. I'm not saying don't do it but we saw just as many turtles off a rented stand up board on Waikiki for $25/hr. That said, the crew was great and really did try to get people going and excited.

Beautiful location and no crowds. We loved having kayaks and paddleboards to use leisurely.
It was better than we had expected.

I had a great time playing volleyball at the sandbar and seeing sea turtles! The snorkeling was a bit different from what I imagined, maybe because it rained the day before?! The staff member was very energetic and friendly, and she took a lot of wonderful photos for us, which was great! The hamburger we had on the boat was very delicious! There are various tours available, but I'm glad I chose this one!!

サンドバーでバレーボールをしたり、
ウミガメを見たり、とてもたのしかったです！
シュノーケルは、想像とはちょっと違いましたが、
、前日に雨が降ったからかな？！
スタッフのお姉さんはとてもパワフルで、親しみやすく、素敵な写真をたくさん撮っていただいたり、よかったです！
船の上で食べたハンバーガーがとてもおいしかったです！
色んなツアー？がありますが、こちらのツアーにしてよかったです！！

I had a great time. It was a good workout. There were so many activities that I never got bored. Also, the foreign staff member was really handsome and friendly. (laughs)

とっても楽しかったです。いい運動になりました(^^) 色んなのがあって飽きなかったです。あと、スタッフの外人の方がとってもイケメンで親切です。(笑)

Absolutely wonderful experience!
We were picked up right on time, and it was a short drive to the harbour from our hotel in Waikiki. The staff were all very friendly, helpful and professional and the sail boat was spacious and clean. The snorkeling gear was good quality and generally fit well, although my mask leaked a little.
We saw our first turtle not long after getting in the water, and saw quite a few more thereafter. They came very close to us as they surfaced to breath, making for incredible photo opportunities.
This was an amazing experience and anyone visiting the island and considering this activity will not be disappointed!

I tried snorkeling for the first time at a sandbar known as the "Angel Sea." I'm not a great swimmer, and I felt nervous when the staff said, "Just think of it as training!" But I put on the snorkel and set off. The corals and fish I saw for the first time were so beautiful... and just as I was getting used to it, it was over. I had a bit of anxiety, but wearing a life jacket helped me float, and the staff was watching over us, so I'm glad I participated.

天使の海と謳われるサンドバーでのシュノーケリングに初挑戦しました
私はあまり泳げないし、スタッフの 訓練だと思ってください！の声に緊張してシュノーケルをつけていざ出発
初めて見る珊瑚と魚達…わー綺麗…と慣れてきた頃にお終いでした
少し不安もありましたが、ライフジャケットを着用すれば浮くしスタッフが見守ってくれてるので参加して良かったです

I chose a standard seat, but since I arrived early, I was able to sit in the front row even with a standard ticket. The show was spectacular and very enjoyable. The stage is surrounded by tables in a U-shape, so no matter where you sit, you can enjoy the dancing from all angles.

The food looks delicious, but don't expect too much from it. (laughs) It was mentioned that you would receive a shell lei, but standard seats don't get anything. Only gold and diamond seats receive that.

スタンダード席にしましたが、早めに行ったのでスタンダードでも前方に一番近い席に座れました。ショーは圧巻でとても楽しかったです。ステージをこの字型に囲ってテーブルがあり、どの席に座っても四方を向いてダンスしてくれるので横側でも楽しめます。
美味しそうに見えますが、料理は期待しないで下さい。笑
シェルレイをもらえると書いてましたが、スタンダード席は何ももらえないです。ゴールドとダイヤモンド席のみでした。

One of the staff members was not Japanese, but they spoke Japanese very fluently and were friendly, which made me feel at ease. I was able to see both dolphins and sea turtles, but I couldn't get close enough to interact with the dolphins; I only saw a few of them from a distance, which was a bit disappointing (this might be due to the nature of the experience and timing). However, overall, I had a great time, enjoying lunch on the boat and snorkeling to see the sea turtles.

スタッフのうち一人は日本人ではなかったですが日本語がとても流暢で感じもよく安心できました。
イルカもウミガメも見れましたが、
イルカと触れ合えるほど近くでは見れず、遠くに数匹程度ずつ見えたという感じだったので（これは自然相手でタイミングなのかもしれませんが）少し残念でした。
ただ、そのほか全体通して、ランチでボート上でのランチやシュノーケリングでウミガメを見れたりなど楽しい時間をすごすことができました。

Amazing day...a long day! But worth every hour we were up! Would thoroughly recommend! Our tour guide was super knowledgeable with a great sense of humor.
And just a wee tip...we found it better to buy lunch once at the restaurant rather than pre book.

At the sandbar, you can practice snorkeling and play volleyball. The sandbar is shallow and there are hardly any fish, so we went to a deeper part of the sea with coral reefs to snorkel. During the move, hamburgers were served. They were delicious. It might be a bit different from the typical barbecue image. I was satisfied because I got to swim with sea turtles while snorkeling.

サンドバーで、シュノーケリングの練習や、バレーボールなどをして遊べます。サンドバーは遠浅で魚はほとんどいないので、途中、サンゴ礁のある海の深い所へ行って、シュノーケリングします。移動中、ハンバーガーが振舞われます。美味しかったです。バーベキューのイメージとはちょっと違うかも？シュノーケリングでウミガメと泳げたので満足です。

I think there are other tours like the Angel's Sea and Heaven's Sea tour, but this one departs in the morning, allows you to have lunch, and you can also go snorkeling at different locations, so I believe it's a very satisfying tour! It was great when the weather was clear, but it started to get worse along the way and became cold, so I think it's a good idea to bring a towel and a change of clothes. Sunscreen is a must!

天使の海、天国の海ツアーは他にもあるとは思うのですが、朝出発で、お昼も食べられて、場所を移してシュノーケリングもできるので、色々満足できるツアーだと思います！
晴れている時は良かったんですが、途中天候が悪化してきて、寒くなってきたので、タオルや着替えを持って行くと良いと思います。日焼け止めは必須です！

I was able to see a sea turtle swimming from the boat, and we also went snorkeling.

The snorkeling was done in a line with everyone, so we couldn't take our time to look around. Also, the weather from the previous day definitely had an impact.

As for the ocean, I preferred Kailua Beach, but the various explanations and insights were interesting!

船の上からウミガメが泳いでいるのが見えましたし、
シュノーケリングもできました。

シュノーケリングはみんなで列になってザーっとやったかんじで、
ゆっくりは見れなかったです。
あとやっぱり前日の天気にも影響されてしまいますね。

海でいえば、カイルアビーチのほうがよかったのですが、
いろいろ解説があったりそういうのが面白かったです！

I was moved to see a pod of dolphins and sea turtles, and the cheerful crew made the experience enjoyable on board! I was very grateful that they also took care of my 4-year-old daughter, who was scared of the ocean and stayed on the boat, and she had a great time too!

イルカの群れにも海亀にも会えて感動した他、陽気なクルーの皆様が盛り上げて楽しませてくれたので船上でも楽しく過ごせました！海を怖がり船に残った4歳の娘の面倒も見て頂けてとてもありがたかったし娘も楽しめました！

Unfortunately, it was a bit disappointing due to the cloudy sky, but the interior of the ship was beautiful and the food was delicious. As rumored, the ship had large glass windows with a great view and was quite comfortable with little motion. Although I couldn't see the dream-like shot of the whale jumping out of the water on the cover of the brochure, I was still fairly satisfied.

あいにくの曇り空で少々残念でしたが、船内は綺麗で食事も美味しくいただくことが出来ました。噂通り、全面ガラス張りで眺めも良くて、揺れも少ない快適な船内でしたので、パンフレットの表紙のクジラが海面からジャンプしている夢の様なショットは、もちろん観ることは出来ませんでしたが、まぁまぁ満足でした。

We definitely enjoyed our two hours of sailing on the beautiful Makani Catamaran. It’s the best escape from the sweltering midday heat. All aboard! The enthusiastic riders strolled towards the stretched tarp fronting the 60 foot catamaran, as others filled the inner cabin, or sat on the open air benches. Not to worry, all views satisfied a person’s thirst for adventure. After a brief introduction of safety, expectations and friendly crew introductions the big white $2million dollar catamaran slowly glided out of Kewalo Basin towards the majestic deep blue Pacific Ocean, passing other harbored yachts, catamarans and various tourist boats. At the mouth of the basin local fishermen on the shores cast their lines, hoping for a fresh catch for dinner. Beyond the ocean horizon a large cargo boat cruised along at a seemingly slow pace, and by the time the catamaran set at 1/4 mile out in the ocean it had traveled parallel to Diamond Head.
We were entertained, watching the skillful rigging of the main sail and sailing effortlessly along the fringes of the island. Excitement stirred when two large sea turtle surfaced on the dark blue waters, appeasing our anticipation for marine life. Feeling the ocean air against our face, listening to the rippling sounds of ocean waves gently splashing against the hulls, watching sailboats skimming across the blue horizon, parasail riders bobbing in the air, and surfer zealots zigzagging across 4-6 foot waves on Point Panics - What more could we ask for?

It was very beautiful, and I was surprised when it suddenly appeared in the middle of the ocean. The turtles were also searching hard, and I was able to see a few. However, the snorkeling was a bit disappointing because the water clarity wasn't very good. I often dive in Okinawa, and I feel that the clarity there is significantly better. It might depend on the location, though.

とてもきれいでした、海の真ん中に突然現れて驚きました、亀も一生懸命探してくれて何匹か見られました、ただ、シュノーケルは海の透明度があまりよくなく少し残念でした、沖縄でよくダイビングするのですが、透明度は沖縄の方が数段いいなと感じました、場所にもよるのかもしれませんが。

I used this service on the first day of my trip! Since we set sail while it was still light out, I was able to enjoy the beautiful blue sky, the blue ocean, and the view of Waikiki! I was also moved by the beauty of the sunset afterward! When we participated, it was very quiet. Thanks to that, we were able to enjoy a leisurely cruise while savoring a meal along with hula dancing and live singing! When choosing the sunset cruise, I was torn between a yacht or this option, but since I was with my mother this time, I was glad we chose the relaxing cruise with transportation included! I had checked the meal options in advance, so I didn't have high expectations, and I wasn't disappointed as long as I thought of it as a bonus. The staff's service was also good! I was especially happy that the bartender spoke Japanese and engaged in conversation with us!

旅行初日に利用しました！
明るいうちに出航するので、青空と青い海とワイキキの景色を気持ちよく堪能！その後サンセットの美しさに感動しました！
私たちが参加した時は、とても空いていました。そのおかげか食事をしながら、フラダンスと生歌を堪能し、ゆったりとクルージングを楽しめました！
サンセットクルーズを選ぶ時に、ヨットにするか迷いましたが、今回は母と一緒だったので送迎付きのゆっくり過ごせるクルージングにして良かったです！
食事内容は事前に確認していたので、あまり期待はせず、おまけ程度と思えば不満はありませんでした。
スタッフの方の対応も良かったです！特にバーテンダーの方が日本語の出来る方で、沢山話しかけて下さったのが嬉しかったです！

On my first trip to Hawaii, I absolutely wanted to visit the heavenly sea. On the day of the trip, the weather was cloudy, and I couldn't see the beautiful ocean scenery I had hoped for, but by the time we went snorkeling, it cleared up, and I was so happy to swim in the crystal-clear water with sea turtles and fish. My husband is not a strong swimmer, so I was anxious about snorkeling alone, but the staff were kind and provided great guidance, allowing me to enjoy swimming. The snacks were also delicious. I definitely want to go again.

初めてのハワイ旅行、天国の海は絶対に行きたいと思っていました。当日天気は曇り空で期待していたような海の景色はなかなか見られませんでしたが、シュノーケリングをする時間には晴れてきて透き通るような海の中をウミガメや魚たちと泳ぐことができてとても嬉しかったです。主人は泳ぐのが苦手で、シュノーケリングは私一人の参加で不安でしたが、スタッフの方が優しく指導してくださって楽しく泳ぐことができました。軽食もおいしかったです。是非また行きたいと思います。

It was amazing. The color of the sea was very beautiful. I also encountered a sea turtle, and snorkeling in the coral reef was a lot of fun as I got to see many colorful fish—it was really beautiful. I'm very satisfied. The staff were all nice and fun people. Thank you very much. I would like to participate again.

最高でした。海の色がとても綺麗
ウミガメにも出会えたし、サンゴ礁の海でのシュノーケリングは色んな色の魚達に出会えてとても楽しかって綺麗だったー満足です。
スタッフの方もいい人ばかり そして楽しい人達
ありがとうございました 又、参加したいです。
