Oahu
I didn't have high expectations, so it was about what I expected. It's not as impressive as Nagashima Spa Land. I guess it's better than doing nothing.
大きな期待はしていなかったので、そんなもんです。ナガシマスパーランドよりはたいしたことないです。何もしないよりはましかなと。
This is a recommended plan for first-time visitors to Hawaii.
The sandbar can be seen or not depending on the tide, but since it's shallow, even small children were playing there.
We moved to snorkel around the coral reef, and it was fun to see so many fish.
It's also nice that you can stop by points where you can see sea turtles during the移動中.
初めてハワイに来た人はオススメのプランです。
サンドバーは潮のみちひきで見れたり見れなかったりしますが、浅瀬になっているので小さい子供も遊んでいました。
移動して珊瑚礁の周りをシュノーケルしたのですが魚がいっぱい見れて楽しいです。
移動中にウミガメが見れるポイントに寄って見たり出来るのもいいです^ ^
I had a great time and the hours flew by. I almost wanted to stay until 4 PM. I felt it was a shame that the water slides were down and the wait times were long.
とても楽しくて時間がすぐに過ぎました。16時ギリギリまでいたかったくらいです。
ウォータースライダーが止まっていたり待ち時間が長かったりしたのがもったいなかったと思います。
Unfortunately, I wasn't able to encounter any whales. Since it was towards the end of the season, I think it's understandable.
Also, the large boat swayed quite a bit. I think motion sickness medication is definitely needed.
Next time, I hope to visit Hawaii during a better season and try again! For those who love boats, just being on board can be quite enjoyable, and since it's a half-day course, you can make good use of your time, so I recommend it!
残念ながら、クジラに出会うことができませんでした。シーズン最後ぐらいだったのでしようがないかなと思っています。
あと、大型の船ですが、結構ゆれました。酔い止めは結構必要かなと思います。
今度はもう少しよいシーズンにハワイに行けれた、また再度チャレンジをしたいと思います!
船が好きな人は、乗ってるだけでも結構楽しめますし、半日コースなので時間も有効活用できますので、おすすめです!
Thank you very much for participating in our cruise. We are very sorry that you were unable to observe any whales this time. Please do come back and try again. All of our staff are looking forward to welcoming you.

I went on a Saturday in late March. The bus arrived 30 minutes late, but they delayed the departure time for the return bus by 15 minutes, which I appreciated. It was unfortunate that the water slide was closed for about half the day. As a result, we had to wait around 30 minutes for the slides that were open. The cabana is expensive, but I think it's worth it since it can serve as a changing room and comes with a float. A dedicated staff member also brings lunch for you. The time spent there felt very short, so I think it's best to have a light lunch. Compared to Japan's Summerland and the Toshimaen pool, it was less crowded, making it a good tour for families with small children.
3月下旬の土曜日に行ってきました。行きはバスの現地到着が30分遅れましたか帰りのバスの出発時間を15分遅らせてくれて、誠意を感じました。ウォータースライダーは 半分位 一日中クローズだったのは残念でした。結果、オープンしているスライダーが混んで30分くらい待ちました。カバナは高いですが、更衣室代わりになるのと、浮き輪が付いてくるので、よいと思います。昼食も専属の係の人が買ってきてくれます。 滞在時間はとても短く感じるので、昼食は軽く済ませるのが正解だと思いましした。 日本のサマーランド、としまえんのプールよりは空いているので、小さいお子様がいる家族にはよいツアーだと思います。
There were various attractions, many of which are not found in Japan, and the day flew by! It was a bit disappointing that we couldn't bring in food and drinks, but other than that, I was very satisfied!
いろいろなアトラクションがありましたが、日本にないのもたくさんあって、1日があっという間でした!
飲食を持って入ることができないのが微妙でしたが、それ以外は大満足でした!
My 11-year-old grandson unexpectedly had fun playing volleyball in the sea. We started on the boat, but there was a beautiful shallow area in the ocean! Just seeing that made us exclaim in excitement, and then we could get down and play volleyball too! The staff were very attentive, providing thorough explanations and ensuring safety.
11才の孫が、思いがけなく海水に入りながらバレーボール出来、楽しかったと言ってました。船でスタートしたのに、海に綺麗な浅瀬が❗それだけでわぁーっと声が出たのに、降りられバレーボールまで❗説明も丁寧、そして安全面でも気をかけているスタッフの方々の対応も良かったです
We went with our spouse and our children, aged 7 and 5. The charter bus for pickup arrived on time. We went around to each designated location in a pickup format, but there was no wasted time, and we efficiently got on the highway. Before we knew it, we arrived while a local explanation DVD was playing inside the bus.
夫婦と子供・7歳と5歳、で行ってきました(^^)お迎えのチャーターバスは時間通りに来ました(^_^)各指定場所にピックアップ形式で周りますが、無駄なロスもなく効率良く高速に乗り車内にて現地の説明DVDが流れるなか、気付けば到着です(●´ω`●)
As soon as I arrived, it was raining, and I felt a bit chilly and anxious, but the staff were very kind, which made me feel at ease. I also found several turtles, making it a very fulfilling day.
着いたとたんに雨で、肌寒く不安でしたが、スタッフの方も、とても親切で安心して過ごせました。
亀も何匹もみつけて、とても充実した1日でした。
It was a beautifully sunny day, and the sea was incredibly clear—perfect for snorkeling! A great day for a tour!!!
We excitedly set off on the boat with the cheerful crew and the cool female captain!
I made sure to check the low tide times, so we were able to enjoy the shallow waters perfectly.
Around the shallow area, there was a sudden drop-off, and we all put on our life jackets and snorkeling masks to head out to the drop-off. Beyond the drop-off, the sea was really deep. But with life jackets on and the crew always keeping an eye on us, I felt safe.
Actually, when I went to the Maldives for my honeymoon, I was scared of the drop-off and regretted not going further. But here, I was able to get my revenge!!
Under the sea, it was a world of colorful fish!!!! In the clear, beautiful water with vibrant fish, it truly felt like paradise.
We went on the morning tour, but we could only enjoy breakfast (a light snack) around lunchtime (laughs).
The participation fee is a bit pricey, but both my child and I were very satisfied. The crew was incredibly cheerful and attentive, and they were kind to my child as well. My older child tends to get motion sickness, but they were fine!
I'm glad I participated.
その日はきれいに晴れた日で海もとてもきれいでまさにシュノーケリング日和!
ツアー日和!!!
陽気なクルーの皆さんとかっこいい女性キャプテンの船で張り切って出発!!
しっかり干潮の時間も調べて行ったので、ばっちり浅瀬が楽しめました。
浅瀬の周りは突然深くなるドロップオフがあり、ライフジャケットとシュノーケリングマスクを
つけてドロップオフの先へみんなで行きます。
ドロップオフの先は本当に深い海。でもライフジャケットもあるし、クルーの皆さんが常に以上がないか気を配ってくれているので安心です。
実は新婚旅行でモルディブへ行った時、ドロップオフの先が怖くて底から先へ進めずに
帰国してきたことを若干後悔していたのですが、ここでリベンジを果たすことができました!!
海の中はまあ~~~色とりどりの魚の世界!!!!
透き通ったきれいな海に鮮やかな魚、まさに天国の海です。
午前出発の部で行きましたが、朝食(軽食)が楽しめるのはほぼお昼の時間です(笑)
参加費が少し値が張りますが、私も子供もとても大満足でした。
クルーの皆さんもとにかく明るくてとっても気が利くし、子供にも親切にしていただけました。
上の子が乗り物酔いしやすいのですが、大丈夫でした!
参加してよかったです。
Aloha! This is the Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour. It seems you enjoyed the tour with great weather. I'm glad to hear that your snorkeling revenge was a success! Please come back to visit us again. Mahalo!

I watched it with a friend, and it was a fun time that went by in the blink of an eye. Thank you very much. The content was also packed, and I was very satisfied. I would like to watch it again.
友人と観覧しましたが、あっという間の楽しいひと時で、どうもありがとうございました。
内容も、盛りだくさんで、大満足でした。

I had seen some reviews mentioning that sightings were not guaranteed, and since I made a last-minute reservation for April 4th, I was prepared for that possibility. However, quite early on, the captain announced, "We have spotted a whale at 3 o'clock!" There were about five or six directions given, and we could see the spouts! According to the naturalist's announcement, the whale was about 45 meters away from the boat. While we didn't see any flashy features like the tail fin, it has left me looking forward to next time.
I opted for no breakfast, but since those with and without meals are on the same floor, I think it's fine to skip it if you don't mind looking over at others. I believe breakfast only takes about 15 minutes, so it wasn't a big deal to go without it.
ここでの口コミで見えなかった…という声があり、また4/4というシーズンギリギリの予約だったため見られないことも想定していましたが、割と早い段階で「3時の方向に鯨を発見しました」と船長のアナウンス!!5.6回は方向の指示が出て、潮吹きが見えました!ナチュラリストの方のアナウンスによると45m位船から離れた位置に見えました。尾びれなどのハデな見え方はなかったですが、次回への期待にします。
朝食なしにしましたが、食事ありとなしの人が同じフロアなので、横目で見るのが平気であればなしで良いと思います。朝食を食べる時間は15分程度だと思いますのでまぁなくても良かったかなという感じです
Thank you very much for joining our cruise. We are very pleased that you participated the day before our final day of the season on April 5th and were able to observe whales. On certain days, you can witness the magnificent sight of whales jumping, so please come back to search for such whales again. All of our staff are looking forward to your next visit.

The Japanese staff were very helpful, and their explanations were really easy to understand. They even made jokes, which added some laughter to the tour, and I was very satisfied! However, the sandbar was submerged due to high tide, which was different from what I had imagined. It's a natural phenomenon, so there's nothing that can be done about it, but I was a little disappointed about that... Still, I had a great time! Next time, I want to join the tour when the tide is low!
日本人のスタッフさんもいて、説明もすごく分かりやすかった。ジョークとかも言いながらで笑いもありツアーは大満足です!
ただサンドバーが潮が満ちてて、イメージと違った。自然現象のだから仕方ないことだけど、そこだけちょっと残念だったな、、、
でもすごく楽しかったです(^^)今度は潮が満ちてない時を狙ってツアーに参加したいです(*´꒳`*)
This was a pleasant day, unfortunately the boat really didn't go far from the marina. The only fish we saw were bated by the crew. No whale or dolphin sightings. They fed us lunch at the end of the day nearly 3 a bit hard for kids and adults consuming alcohol. Nothing really bad however not a remarkable day considering the price.
I was really glad to be able to see the deep blue, incredibly beautiful sea. It was truly stunning. However, I couldn't see anything else at all. It was frustrating not to receive a reboarding ticket for when I couldn't see anything, regardless of whether I could go or not; it felt like the promises weren't being kept. Since one of my family members gets seasick, we opted for no meals, but the seating was mixed up between those who had meals and those who didn't. My little child was looking enviously at the people around us who were eating, and I felt a bit disheartened. I wish they could have at least separated the seating a little within the area...
深い青のすごくきれいな海に出られたことは良かったです。本当に綺麗でした。ひたすらそれだけで全く何も見れませんでしたが。見られなかった際の再乗船チケットもらえず、行ける行けないは別にして約束事を守ってもらえないのは不快です。船酔いしてしまう家族がいるので食事無しにしましたが、食事ありなしの人たちの席がごちゃ混ぜで、すぐ周りで食べている人たちをウチの小さい子供が羨ましそうに見ていて、あ~ぁと思いました。何となくフロアの中でも席を分けてくれればいいのに・・・
Thank you very much for participating in our cruise. We are very sorry that you were unable to enjoy whale watching this time.
We do provide re-boarding tickets for those who do not see whales, which can be obtained on board or at the check-in office. We sincerely apologize that this information was not clearly communicated to you.
Regarding your comments about the seating, we will share your feedback internally and use it to improve future cruises.
All of our staff look forward to welcoming you again.

So entertaining and full of interesting facts about the Polynesians and their surrounding cultures.
The dancing and singing was beautiful and the food was amazing.
The Chief was hilarious and really made our anniversary night extra special and gave me flowers!
We had a nice time on this cruise. Great way to see fireworks
The experience was so much more than we expected. Loved the humor of the bus guide, the staff at the luau and the Chief. Could not have asked for more fun under the stars with a beautiful scenic backdrop.
Fantastic wsy to finish our stay in Hawaii. Great team, friendly and really added to the experience. Thanks Rich, Michelle & Corbin.
The content of the show was excellent. Since it combines a Polynesian show with an impersonation show, it might be the perfect choice for those who want to experience a show that feels Hawaiian. In fact, I would overwhelmingly recommend this over a typical Polynesian show.
The premium cocktail show I attended had seats on the second floor, but it offered a good view of the entire stage. If you opt for a dinner package with front-row seats on the first floor, you'll have more opportunities to shake hands with the performers. However, there is a greeting time for all audience members after the show (including photo opportunities), so that's not an issue.
It was a show that made me want to see it again when I revisit Waikiki.
ショーの内容は申し分なし。
ポリネシアンショーとそっくりさんショーの融合なので、ハワイらしいショーも観たいという人にはこれ一つでいいかもしれない。
というか、一般的なポリネシアンショーよりも圧倒的にこちらをお薦めする。
今回利用したプレミアカクテルショーでは二階席となるが、ステージ全体が見渡せるので悪くない。一階前方席が利用出来るディナー付きだと、演者との握手の機会などが増えるが、ショー終了後に観客全員に対するグリーティング(写真撮影も)タイムがあるので問題ない。
ワイキキに再訪する際にはまた観たいと思えるショーだった。

hospitable crew, great food and facilities. It had been a wonderful experience!
I arrived 10 minutes before the pickup time and waited, but despite the wait, there was no sign of the pickup. After about 20 minutes, my daughter went to make a phone call. Shortly after that, her name was finally called, and she returned to inform me that the 9:05 pickup had turned into 9:35. According to her, they had come once but didn’t recognize us and just passed by. From our perspective, we had arrived early, but we weren’t called by name, didn’t know what kind of vehicle to look for, and there was no guiding sign, so we were left with nothing to do but wait. It felt like a letdown, especially since we had previously had such good experiences with Veltra. I wish they had called our names from the start. The pool seemed to be enjoyable for my grandchildren. If I could wish for something, it would be for a bit more thorough cleaning. Also, despite not allowing outside food, the line to buy food was very long, which felt like a waste of time. I think it’s a place worth visiting once.
ピックアップの時間10分前に行って待っていたのに待てど暮らせどお迎えがなく20分くらいして娘が電話をしにとうとう行きました。それからしばらくして、名前を呼ばれ娘も戻ってきて9時5分ピックアップが9時35分になってました。娘の話によると、一度来たそうだけどわからなかったそうでスルーしたとか。私たちからしたら、早めに来ていたのに名前も呼ばれず、どんな車かも解らず、案内のプレートもなくあの時成すすべもなかったです。ただ待つのみ。veltraさんの今までの対応がよく高く評価していただけに出鼻くじかれたみたいでした。最初から名前を呼んでいただいてらと思います。プールは孫たちも楽しかったようです。欲を言えばもう少し清掃が行き届いているといいのですがそれに持ち込みがダメな割には食べ物を買うだけなのにとても長い行列で時間が勿体なかったです。一度行けばいい所かなと思いました。
This is the second time I've booked the exact same tour, and I recommended it to a family who was going for the first time, so we participated together! This time, the water was shallow and it was sunny, so we were able to see a different sandbar compared to last time☆ Next time, I want to see it when the water is completely low♡
今回まったく同じツアーを申し込んだのは2回目で、初めて行くファミリーにオススメして一緒に参加しました!今回の水の深さは浅くてしかも晴れていたので前回とはまた違ったサンドバーを見ることができました☆ 今度は完全に水がひいてる状態を見てみたいです♡
My 5-year-old grandson participated alone, and there were three other American boys, but it was perfectly fine. Even though he didn't understand English, the staff kindly supported him, and in just an hour and a half, he was very satisfied! It might be more affordable compared to other programs?
5歳の孫(男の子)が一人で参加し、他は3人のアメリカの男の子でしたが、十分大丈夫。英語がわからなくてもSTAFFが優しくサポートしてくれて、あっという魔の1時間半で本人も大満足!他のプログラムに比べて割安かも?

Mahalo from Dolphin Quest Oahu!
We used the service with three generations of our family. It was sunny, so we were lucky to have a beautiful view of the sea. The staff took a lot of photos for us. My child, who was snorkeling for the first time, struggled a bit, but they gave it their all. Despite being warned about the dangers of touching the coral, we fell behind the group and felt left out when we couldn't find our way back from the coral to the sandbar. It felt a bit harsh for those who aren't strong swimmers. Other than that, the staff was friendly. We also saw a sea turtle while snorkeling. The restroom on the boat was used by the kids, but I felt reluctant to use it myself. There are public restrooms near the boarding area (although we were told not to use them due to time constraints...). The return bus wasn't as cold as some reviews suggested. I'm glad we got to visit the sandbar, but I think once is enough.
家族3世代で利用しました。
晴れていたので海がきれいでラッキーでした。
写真もスタッフの方にたくさん撮って頂きました。
シュノーケリングは初めてやるわが子がうまく出来ず、それでも一生懸命やりました。
散々、サンゴに触れたら危ないなど言っていたのに、みんなの列から遅れをとってしっまった私たち、サンゴからサンドバーに戻る場所も案内してもらえず、置いて行かれた気分になり、泳ぎの下手な人には冷たいなーと感じました。
それ以外はフレンドリーに接して頂きました。ウミガメもシュノーケリング中見れました。
船内のトイレは、子供たちはりようしていましたが、私はなんだか利用するのが億劫で使いませんでした。船乗り場付近に公衆トイレがあります。(時間がないので利用するなといわれますが・・・)帰りのバスは口コミで書かれるほど寒くありませんでした。
サンドバーに行ってみたかったので良かったです。が一度で十分だと思います。
Aloha! This is Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour.
I apologize that you were not able to enjoy the tour 100%. We would be delighted if you could come back and visit us again!

ツアーを100%楽しんで頂けなかったようで申し訳ございません。ぜひ!また一度遊びにいらして頂けると嬉しいです。
I was able to see sea turtles, and the sandbar was very beautiful. I didn't expect much from the sandwiches, but they were surprisingly delicious.
I was prepared for the cold, so I brought a thick bath towel and a jacket.
ウミガメも見られたし、サンドバーはとても綺麗でした。
サンドイッチも期待していませんでしたが意外と美味しかったです。
寒いのは覚悟していたので厚手のバスタオルと上着を持っていきました。
The trip was a lot of fun. The crew was great and fun to enteract with throughout the day. The only downside was the dolphins were not participating that day.
We did get to swim with the turtles and snorkle in beautiful waters. The crew was very energetic and the photo package was definately worth the money. I was happy to get the great shots of me and my son playing in the water. A big thanks to Melissa.
I was looking forward to the slides since they were advertised as a highlight, but it seemed to be a bit scary for the younger kids in elementary school, so they didn't go down even once. They were satisfied with the slides designed for children, though. On the other hand, the older kids seemed to enjoy the slides and went down multiple times. I think they will have even more fun once they get a little older. (I had three kids with me: a first grader, a third grader, and a sixth grader.)
スライダーが売りとの事で楽しみだったのですが、
小学校低学年には怖い様で、一度も滑りに行きませんでしたね。
子供向けのスライダーには満足していましたが。
逆に高学年になると、スライダーが楽しいようで、何回も滑りに行ってましたね。
もう少し大きくなったら、より楽しめるかなと思いました。
(小1、小3、小6の3人連れでした。)
The travel took some time. The weather was nice. I was able to enjoy the attractions with a reasonable sense of safety. Overall, I think it was a high-level experience. This time, I chose a tour that included lunch, but due to the waiting times for the attractions, I wasn't able to make it on time. However, thanks to the staff who made adjustments, everything worked out. I am grateful to the staff.
移動は時間がかかりました。天気はよかったです。アトラクションはそれなりに安心して楽しめました。全体的にハイレベルだと思います。今回は昼食付きのツアーにしましたが、アトラクションの待ち時間の都合で、時間に間に合いませんでしたが、職員の方が、調整してくれたおかげで、何とかなりました。職員の方々に感謝します。
Fun sailing and snorkeling combo tour. Although the visibility was poor this day, they offered discounted tours for those who wanted to come again. I got lucky and came face to face with a nice sized honu, so no visibility problem when it's literally almost in your face.
Well worth the price!
