All Reviews for Baby Friendly (Ages 0-2)

The colors of the sea were truly beautiful, with green in the shallow areas and a deep blue in the deeper parts.

At the place where we got off the boat, the water level was up to my waist, but it became shallower as we approached the sandbar, eventually reaching about knee height.

There were many participants, and we went out to sea on a two-tiered boat. Each group on the boat had a chance to snorkel while the other group enjoyed light snacks. The snacks included hot dogs and fruits, which were plentiful and delicious.

Since there was a family that was anxious about swimming, we lined up last for snorkeling. Because we were behind everyone, we heard someone in the distance say, "There’s a turtle!" but we couldn’t do anything about it. By the time we returned to the boat, there were people playing with floaties and boards around us, as well as others resting on the boat. I wasn’t sure if the free time was set for each boat, so I just rested for a while, but before I knew it, it was time to depart in about 10 minutes. It was disappointing not to have any time to play. If you want to play after snorkeling, it might be better to swim at the front of the group.

It seemed that we were the only group that didn’t see a turtle, and the captain, knowing this, kindly circled around a bit before returning to shore. Unfortunately, we didn’t get to see the turtle, but I appreciated the thoughtfulness. On the way back, I handed the tip I had prepared to the captain.

During this time of year, the sun is strong, but the water temperature is quite low, so I recommend wearing a rash guard or a hoodie while swimming.

浅いところはグリーン、深くなっているところは濃いブルーと、海の色が本当に綺麗でした。

船を下りた場所では腰まであった水位がサンドバーに近づくほど低くなっていき、一番低くて膝くらいになりました。

参加人数が多く2層の船で沖に出ました。船ごとのグループで、1グループがシュノーケリングの間、もう1グループが軽食をとりました。
軽食はホットドッグやフルーツなど十分な量があり、美味しかったです。

シュノーケリングは、泳ぎに不安な家族がいたので一番最後に並びました。
皆より遅れていたので、遠くで「亀がいるよー」と聞こえましたがどうにも出来ず…。
船に戻った頃には、周りで浮き輪やボードで遊んでいる人と、船で休んでいる人がいました。
船ごとに自由時間が決まっているのかな？と、よくわからなかったのでひとまず休んでいたら、10分程で出発する時間になってしまいました。
遊ぶ時間が無かったのが残念です。シュノーケリング後に遊びたい方は先頭の方で泳いだ方がいいかもしれませんね。

グループで我々だけが亀を見れなかったらしく、それを知った船長さんが陸に戻るまでに少し付近を回ってくださいました。
残念ながら亀の姿は見れませんでしたが、気遣いが嬉しかったです。
帰りには用意していたチップを船長さんにお渡ししました。

この時期、日差しは強いですが水温が結構低いので、ラッシュガードやパーカを着て泳ぐことをお勧めします。

Unfortunately, it was cloudy. The weather had been nice until the day before, but it started raining at night, and even after getting on the shuttle bus, the mountains ahead were covered in clouds and the roads were wet. Once on the boat, I felt a chill. However, during the sea turtle watching, I was able to see them up close multiple times, and I even encountered a family of manta rays, which is a rare sight. If only the weather had been nice, it would have been perfect... (The next day was clear.)

あいにくの曇天。
前日までは天気が良かったのに、夜からの雨で、迎えのバスに乗ってからも前方の山には雲がかかり道路は濡れている。船に乗ってからは、寒さを感じるほど。
でも、ウミガメウォッチングでは、間近で何度も見ることができたし、めったに見られないマンタの家族にも会えた。
これで天気が良かったら、最高だったのに…（翌日は、快晴でした)

Toa was a great guide. He was very enjoyable to listen to. Enjoyed the day.

On the day of the trip, it was cloudy, so we didn't have the clear skies we hoped for at the sandbar, but considering the weather forecast predicted a "storm," we could say we were lucky.

We landed on the sandbar just after 11 AM (about an hour after low tide), and the water level was about knee-deep. After enjoying taking photos and playing water volleyball for about an hour, the water level rose to around mid-thigh when we returned to the boat. It's essential to check the tide levels in advance, as you can't land when it's close to high tide.

The BBQ hamburger for lunch was grilled on the boat, creating a great atmosphere and it tasted good.

During the post-lunch sea turtle watch, we spotted a few from the boat, but it was truly moving to see a large sea turtle swimming right below us during snorkeling. However, it was a bit cold.

The Japanese tour guide, Yukiko (I believe), was cheerful and very good at talking, and she was very kind, taking various photos of our family.

I highly recommend this tour.

当日は曇り空で、快晴のサンドバーとはいきませんでしたが、天気予報が「嵐」だったことからすれば、ラッキーと言えるでしょうか。
午前11時過ぎ（干潮時刻から約1時間後）にサンドバーに上陸しましたが、水かさはひざ下程度でした。小一時間ほど写真を撮ったり水上バレーボールを楽しんだ後、船に戻る際にはひざ上程度になりました。満潮に近いと上陸できないので、事前に潮位を調べておくことが不可欠です。
昼食のBBQハンバーガーは船上で肉を焼くので、雰囲気がよく味も良かったです。
食後のウミガメウォッチでは船上から数匹見つけましたが、その後のシュノーケルの際に大きなウミガメが真下を泳いでいて、とても感動的でした。でもちょっと寒かったです。
日本人添乗員のユキコさん（だったと思います）は明るくとても話し上手で、我々家族の写真も色々と撮ってくれるなど、とても親切でした。
おすすめのツアーです。

Great food, great entertainment, so much fun! Highly recommend! So romantic and even better with the fireworks. So happy I did this for my husband and I.

We encountered a whale right after departing! I was surprised to see it so close to the shore. It wasn't exactly "right in front of us," but while enjoying the view of the sea from Honolulu and taking a leisurely cruise, we occasionally heard announcements from the captain. When we looked in the direction of the announcements, there was a whale! We had a wonderful time.

出港してすぐにクジラと遭遇！
あんなに岸から近くに居るなんてびっくりでした。
決して「目の前で！」って訳ではありませんが、
ホノルルの海からの景色を楽しみながら、
ゆっくりしたクルーズを楽しみつつ、
時々船長のアナウンスが入って、
アナウンスのあった方向を見ると、クジラが！
楽しい時間を過ごせました。

It was beautiful as expected, but it felt like the sea was a bit dirtier compared to the past! The boats were newer and more comfortable than before.

やっぱり綺麗でした、昔に比べたら少し海が汚れた気がしました！
昔に比べて、船が新しくなってて快適でした。

The weather was perfect, with a blue sea and blue sky, making it an ideal location. I was able to experience a slightly glamorous atmosphere in my dream destination, Hawaii.

The reception was a bit confusing. When I asked someone sitting under a sunshade if this was the right place, they said it was fine, but boarding was actually from in front of the Halekulani hotel, which is right next to the meeting point hotel.

Since there was no announcement to move, I had no choice but to follow the people who started walking, which made me anxious about whether I was in the right place. Because of this, I give it four stars.

Before boarding, the staff instructed us to take photos, so everyone ended up taking them. At the end, there was a photo sale, but you can skip that without any issue.

When boarding, they recommended taking off sandals since we would be entering the water a bit. If the sandals were sandy, the crew would wash them in a bucket before handing them back.

Drinks were served on the boat, but all the explanations were in English. Some Japanese guests seemed hesitant and didn't take the drinks. I think it's fine to ask if you don't understand.

I was surprised when they stopped the boat offshore and said we could swim. Foreign guests quickly changed into swimsuits and jumped into the sea. It looked so refreshing that I wanted to give it a try.

Inside the boat, American music was playing loudly, and the cheerful crew kept the atmosphere lively. Although the boarding time was short, it was just right for enjoying the view of Waikiki from the sea.

天気に恵まれ、青い海に青い空、と絶好のロケーション。憧れのハワイでちょっとセレブな雰囲気を味わえました。

受付がわかりにくく、日除けのパラソルの下に座っている人に声をかけるとここでいい、と言われたのですが、乗船は集合場所のホテルのひとつ隣のハレクラニの前からでした。

移動するようにと声がかかるわけではなかったので、先に待っている人が歩き出すのに付いていくしかなく、これでいいのかと不安になりました。その分☆４つです。

乗船前に写真撮影をするようにとスタッフが指示するので断れなくみんな撮ってました。最後に写真の販売があったのですが、これはスルーすれば大丈夫です。

乗船時にちょっと海に入るのでサンダルも脱ぐようにと勧められます。砂だらけのサンダルだとクルーがじゃぶじゃぶとバケツでサンダルを洗ってから渡してくれました。

船の中ではドリンクが配られるのですが、説明はすべて英語です。日本人でわからない人は遠慮してるのかドリンクを受け取らない人もいました。わからなければ聞けばいいと思います。

沖合でいったん船をとめ、泳いでいいよと声がかかったのには驚きました。外国人の方たちは、次々と水着になって海へ入っていきます。気持ちよさそうなので、チャレンジしたかったです。

船の中はアメリカンミュージックがガンガン流れ、陽気なクルーが盛り上げてくれました。短い乗船時間ですが、ワイキキを海から眺めるにはちょうどいいかな。

On February 25, 2017, I went on an overseas trip with my wife for the first time in 30 years to go whale watching. I thought it would be lucky if we saw any whales, but to my surprise and amazement, humpback whales appeared one after another.

Actually, I had previously gone to see whales at Cape Shionomisaki on the Kii Peninsula in Japan, where I saw dolphins and pilot whales, but this was my first time seeing such large humpback whales. It was magnificent and truly moving.

The trick is to look out at the sea and spot the spouts; then you can see their backs, and finally, the tails. However, taking pictures with a mobile phone is quite challenging. I ended up purchasing a photo from a professional photographer on board for $20!

I highly recommend this experience for nature lovers.

30年ぶりの 家内との海外旅行 ホエールウォッチングに行ってきました．
見れたら ラッキーぐらいにおもっていたら
次々 ザトウクジラは あらわれて 驚きと 感動に つつまれました．
実は　以前日本の 紀伊半島 潮岬で 鯨を見に行きましたが イルカとゴンドウは見れましたが
今回のように 大きなザトウクジラは初めて．壮大で 感動しました．
コツは 海を眺めて 潮吹きをみつけること そのあと背中が見えて 最後に 尾が見れます．
でも 携帯で 撮るのは かなりハードルがたかいです．
乗船していた プロカメラマンの写真を $20で購入しました！
自然の好きな方には とっても おすすめです．

Since I was going during whale season, I made a last-minute reservation on a day when I had free time. I was worried because I heard that people who went two days prior didn't see any whales, but we saw plenty! When a whale appeared, they made it easy to understand by indicating the direction using the hands of a clock. We got to see whales swimming and jumping energetically, and I'm really glad I made the reservation. During the trip, we enjoyed views of Oahu from the sea, experiencing scenery that we usually can't see. We could depart leisurely in the morning, and even without breakfast included, we had plenty of fun on the water. I definitely want to participate again next year.

せっかくクジラの時期に行くのだからと予定が空いている日に直前の予約を入れました。
2日前にホエールウォッチングに参加した人は、見られなかったと聞いていたので、心配していましたが、たくさん見られました！
クジラが現れると分かりやすく、時計の針に例えて方角を教えてくれました。
泳いでいるクジラも、元気に跳ぶクジラも見れ、本当に予約してよかったと思います。
移動中は海からオアフを眺められ、普段見ることのできない風景を楽しみました。
朝はゆっくり出発できますし、海の上を楽しむために、朝食は付けなくても十分楽しめます。
来年もぜひ参加したいです。

In February, I participated in whale watching in Hawaii. I was able to see the whales' spouts and bodies several times! The views of Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head from the boat, as well as the cruising experience, were also enjoyable.

２月のハワイということでホエールウォッチングに参加しました。クジラの潮吹きと体を何度か見ることができました！船上からみるワイキキビーチやダイヤモンドヘッド、クルージングもたのしかったです。

We participated as a couple ^_^

We were overwhelmed by the numerous slides we had never seen before (´-`)

This time, we were picked up from the nearest hotel, but the distance to the pool was quite long, which left an impression on us. It took about 40 minutes.

We stayed from 11 AM to 3 PM, which was a short time, and the slides in the pool had time restrictions, so we were worried about whether we could ride all of them within that time. However, there were not many people in the pool, and we were satisfied that we could ride all the slides.

Especially, the slide called the FlowRider allowed us to experience a surfing-like sensation, which was a distinctly different kind of fun compared to the other slides.

Also, when you think of pools in Hawaii, there's a strong image of many foreigners, and I was somewhat looking forward to seeing white people in bikinis, but surprisingly, there were quite a few Japanese people as well. In the end, I was just chasing after my girlfriend in her bikini (laughs). In that sense, I definitely recommend it for couples (laughs).

All in all, Wet 'n' Wild had great facilities in the pool, and we had a lot of fun!!

カップルで参加しました^_^

見たこともないスライダーの数々に圧倒されましたよ（´-`）

今回は最寄りのホテルから送ってもらったのですがプールまでの距離が長かったのが印象的でした。だいたい40分くらいですかね。

私たちは11-15時と滞在時間が短く且つプール内のスライダーが時間によって制限されており、時間内に全て乗れるか不安でしたがプール自体の人も少なく全部のスライダーに乗れて満足しました。

特にフローライダーと呼ばれるスライダーはサーフィンのような感覚で波に乗れることができその他のスライダーと比べ一際違った楽しみ方ができました。

またハワイのプールと言えば外人が多いというイメージが強く若干白人のビキニ姿等も楽しみにしていたのですが意外と日本人も多く結局僕は彼女のビキニ姿ばかり追いかけていました（笑）
そういう意味ではカップルで行く方には是非オススメです（笑）

なんだかんだ言ってプール内の施設も充実してて楽
しかったウェットアンドワイルドです！！

On the morning of March 10th, I went with breakfast included. It was a buffet-style meal, and I thought I would take a little bit of everything like in Japan, but there was only one type of bread, one type of muffin, white rice, scrambled eggs, sausages, and cereal (laughs). The American in front of me piled the same food high on their plate, and I thought, "If you put that much on, you can't add more!" but it seems that was the right approach (laughs). I don't eat a lot in the morning, so it was fine, but I couldn't help but laugh at the limited variety ((´∀｀*)).

As for the main event, the whale just kept blowing water and showing its back a little, and I didn't even get to see the sea turtles that you always spot when you're out at sea... it left me feeling a bit disappointed. However, the view of Honolulu from the ocean was great ( ◠‿◠ ).

３月１０日午前中、朝食付きで行ってきました。
ブュッフェタイプの食事で、日本のつもりでちょっとずつ色々取ろう！と思ったら。パン一種、マフィン一種、白米、スクランブルエッグ、ウィンナー、シリアルだけでした(笑)私の前のアメリカ人が同じものを山盛りお皿に盛り、あんなに入れたら数乗せられないじゃない？と見てたけどアレが正解だった模様(笑)朝からモリモリは食べないから良いんだけど、種類の少なさに笑っちゃいました((´∀｀*))
メインの鯨は潮吹きと背中チラ見せを繰り返すだけで、海に出ると必ず見かけるウミガメも見れずう〜〜ん・・・な不発気分でした。海からのホノルルの眺めは良かったですよ( ◠‿◠ )

The weather on the day was decent. The day before, I had seen whales from the balcony of the Hilton Hawaiian Village, so I boarded the shuttle bus with high expectations.
We took a family photo when we boarded the boat (they will come around later to sell it for $20).
Unfortunately, we didn't see any whales, but the family was satisfied to see Diamond Head, which can't be seen from Waikiki Beach. The breakfast was also decent.

当日の天気はまずまず。前日にヒルトンハワイアンビレッジのホテルのバルコニーから、クジラが見えたことから『昨日見れたから期待大！』という気持ちで迎えのバスに乗り込みました。
船に乗船すふ時に家族で写真を撮ってもらいました。（後で20ドルで売りに来ます。）
結局、残念ながらクジラは見れませんでしたが、ワイキキビーチから見れないダイヤモンドヘッドを見れて家族は満足してくれました。朝食もまずまずの内容でした。

I went on the cruise when my parents visited from Japan in mid-February, but we didn't see any whales. However, when I went again with my husband at the beginning of March, they appeared frequently. So, is the probability 50%? I heard that the chances are better around February to March. Also, whales tend to be less active in the morning.

I debated whether to include breakfast or not, but since it was just a 2-hour early bird cruise, it didn't have a luxurious atmosphere, and breakfast wasn't necessary (I'm not sure if that's good or bad, but quite a few people brought snacks and drinks). The view from Waikiki to Diamond Head is fantastic. Therefore, my parents were quite satisfied even though they didn't see any whales. The kids seemed to get bored, which was a bit unfortunate.

I think it's best to consider the primary purpose of the cruise as enjoying the scenery, and if you happen to see whales, that's just a bonus.

2月半ばに両親が日本から遊びに来た時に乗りましたが、鯨は現れず、再乗船券をもらって3月頭に夫と乗ったときにはバンバン現れました。ですので確率は50%？
確率の高さとしては2月～3月頃が良いと聞きました。
あと朝は鯨があまり活動しないとか。。

朝食付きか無しで悩みましたが、たったの2時間のアーリーバードなので豪華クルーズという雰囲気もあまりなく、朝食無しで十分でした（良いのか悪いのか分かりませんが、結構みなさん、スナックや飲み物を持ち込んでいました）。ワイキキからダイアモンドヘッドにかけても眺めは素晴らしいです。ですので、両親も鯨が見れなくてもけっこう満足していました。お子さんたちは飽きてしまってかわいそうでしたけれど。
単に船に乗って景色が見れるのを第一目的として、鯨が見れたらめっけもん程度に考えて乗られたらよいと思います。

I was able to see whales about four times, and it was really exciting!

However, since the captain's greetings and everything were in English, I was quite nervous (laughs). I think it would have been even more enjoyable if I could properly understand English. The food seemed delicious, but I couldn't handle the smell, so I couldn't participate in the cultural experience (^^;;)

クジラは4回くらい見ることができて、すごく盛り上がりました！

が、船長さんの挨拶や諸々が全て英語だったので、、結構緊張しました（笑）
ちゃんと英語がヒアリングできたらもっと楽しかっただろうなと思いました。
ご飯は美味しかったみたいですが、私は匂いがダメで・・文化体験も萎縮してしまって参加できませんでした(^^;;)

I signed up on-site at the last minute, but I received a confirmation email right away, which made it easy to plan. The crew was very lively, engaging with everyone and checking to see if everyone was having fun, which I thought was impressive. I felt motivated to participate again.

現地で急遽申し込んだのですが、すぐに予約確定のメールも届き、予定が立てやすかったです。
クルーの方々のノリもよく、全員に声をかけ、みなが楽しんでるか確認しながら進めていたので凄いなーと思って見ていました。
また、参加したいと思えました。

I went to Wet 'n' Wild Hawaii. I visited in early March, and the weather was nice and not cold, so a bikini was enough to walk around outside. Without beach sandals, the ground gets too hot to walk on (when riding attractions, many people often leave their sandals in lockers and walk around barefoot). Also, be careful as you can get quite sunburned if you don't apply sunscreen.

There are no baskets or shelves in the changing rooms, so you'll have to place your bag on the wet floor. If you're concerned about this, it's better to bring something that you don't mind getting dirty.

I followed the advice I found here and didn't take a lunch break, just kept riding attractions. I returned to the hotel around 4 PM, so I could manage a bit of hunger. The park feels a bit compact, but after going around and finding my favorite attractions, I could ride the same ones multiple times since it wasn't too crowded (I went on a Sunday), so I think you can have a lot of fun. There was a smoking area and a bar serving alcohol in the center of the park. It might be a matter of appearance, but you didn't need a passport to buy alcohol. Draft beer was $7-8, and a berry cocktail that looked like shaved ice was $9 (I ordered the same thing as someone else who had it, and it was delicious!). I think it's also good to leave a tip.

If you're unsure whether to go or not, I think you should definitely go!

モニターでウェットアンドワイルドハワイに行きました。
3月上旬に行きましたが天気が良く寒くありませんでした、ビキニだけで十分外を歩き回れます。ビーチサンダルがないと地面が熱く歩けないくらいです（アトラクションに乗るときはサンダルを脱ぐので、サンダルをロッカーに預けて裸足で動き回る方もしばしばいます）また、日焼け止めを塗らないとかなり焼けるので注意が必要です。
更衣室にはカゴや棚が無いので、濡れた床にバックを置くことになります。気になる方は汚れても良いものを持ってった方が良いでしょう。
私もここにあったアドバイスのように昼食は取らずにらずっとアトラクションに乗っていました。ホテルに戻るのも16時くらいなので、多少の空腹も我慢できる感じです。パークは少しこじんまりした印象ですが、ひと通りを回って自分の好きなアトラクションを見つけて、それからは何回も同じものを乗ることができるくらいの混みようなので（日曜日に行きました）、結構楽しめると思います。喫煙所とお酒が飲めるバーがパークの中央にありました。 見た目もあると思いますが、お酒を買うときはパスポートは不要でした。生ビールは7-8ドル、かき氷風？のベリーのカクテルは9ドルでした。（他に頼んでる人がいて、同じものを頼みました。美味しかったです！）チップも払うと良いと思います。
行くか行かないかを迷っている方は、行った方がいいと思います！

The rain and wind were strong, and unfortunately, the weather was not good. The captain announced that a whale had been spotted, but I couldn't see it at all. It's unfortunate, but there's nothing that can be done.

雨風共に強く、あいにくのお天気でした。キャプテンはクジラを発見したと放送がありましたが、まったくわかりませんでした。仕方ありませんが残念でした。

My 15 year old son and I had a wonderful sail and snorkel trip. The 3 person crew took great care of us and we got to see turtles, fish and whales. Very thankful for the cruise. Highly recommend them.

It seems that it was the rainy season, and the weather wasn't very good, which contributed to a less than satisfactory experience... When I saw it on TV, I thought it might feel like standing in the ocean, but when I got off the boat, I was submerged up to my chest in cold water, which was surprising and uncomfortable... If the weather had been better, it might have been more exciting... Perhaps the morning timing wasn't ideal either? The light snacks provided were just ham and cheese sandwiches and tortilla chips, which was a bit disappointing. Well, I wasn't expecting much in that regard, but still... During the sea turtle watching, I felt like I was peeking through gaps from behind everyone else, and I didn't even get to take any photos. It was disappointing, especially since I had high expectations.

時季的に雨季にあたるようで、お天気があまり良くなかった所為もあり、いまいちでした…テレビで見た時は、海の中に立っている気分なのかなという気がしてましたが、船から降りる時は胸まで水に浸かって、冷たいやら、ビックリで…お天気が良かったら、もう少し盛り上がったかも……時間帯も朝だったから良くなかったのかな？付いている軽食も、ハムとチーズだけのサンドウィッチとトルティーヤチップスだけで、えーって感じでした。まぁ、そこはそんなに期待していたワケではないですが…ウミガメウォッチングも、みんなの後ろから隙間を覗くようで、写真を撮るところまでいきませんでした。期待が大きかった分、残念でした。

I planned a trip to Hawaii during this season because I wanted to see whales. Believing that we would meet them, eight of us joined this option! We set off with excitement. However, the result was… disappointing. But still, I was gazing at the vast ocean the whole time on board, and it was a very pleasant cruise. We were lucky to have good weather. On the ship, my companion tried making a lei and got a lovely hair accessory. During lunch, while waiting in line, one of my companions got seasick, so I recommend taking motion sickness medication. We could also see the hotels in Waikiki from the sea, making it a fun cruise. Thank you to the crew!

クジラさんが見たくて、この時期にハワイへ行く計画を立てました。クジラに会えると信じて、8名でこのオプションに参加！ルンルンで出発です。でも、結果は…残念でした。でもでも、私は乗船中、ずっと大海原を眺めていたのですが、とても気持ちの良いクルーズができました。天気に恵まれたのはラッキーでした。船内では、ツレがレイ作りに挑戦し、素敵な髪飾りをゲットしていました。ランチは順番を立って待っている時、船酔いしたツレもいたので、酔い止めをお勧めします。ワイキキのホテル群も海側から見られ、楽しいクルーズになりました。クルーさんたち、ありがとうございました。

We enjoyed this cruise. There are activities besides whale watching (lei making, ukulele lessons and hula lessons). We saw whales and dolphins. This is great for all ages.

The crew was helpful. There were 7 large sea turtles out waiting to greet us. One of the crew members was in the water with us to keep us safe. We had a great time.

On February 25th, I participated with my 6-year-old daughter. Unfortunately, the weather was bad, and it was cloudy, so we couldn't see the blue ocean. The sandbar was about knee-deep for adults. We were able to encounter a few sea turtles. As for snorkeling... well, it was a bit disappointing with the overcast sky. However, we did see a few fish. My daughter struggled a bit during her first snorkeling experience. The BBQ hamburger we had on the boat was really delicious. I would love to participate again on a sunny day!!

Lastly, I want to thank a wonderful staff member named Yukiko, who took great care of my daughter. Thank you very much!

2月25日に、6歳の娘と二人で参加しました。
あいにくお天気が悪く、曇り空だったので青い海は見れませんでした。
サンドバーは、大人の膝上くらいの深さでした。
ウミガメは、数匹出会う事ができました。
シュノーケルは…やっぱりどんより曇り空では…。でも数匹のお魚は見る事ができました。
娘は、初シュノーケルでちょっと苦戦しました。
船の上でたべるBBQハンバーガーは、とってもおいしかったです。
晴天の日に、もう一度参加したいです！！

最後になりましたが、ユキコさんというステキなスタッフの方に、娘を色々と気にかけて頂きました。ありがとうございました。

We boarded a boat from the port and arrived at the sandbar after about 30 minutes! From above, the white area is the sandbar, so we were told that it was shallow enough to stand comfortably, and I finally understood what it was like when I saw it. I thought it looked beautiful from the photos and made a reservation, but I didn't expect it to be out in the ocean. Combined with the mysterious atmosphere, it was an even more wonderful place than I imagined! The barbecue lunch on the boat was delicious, and it was fun to see coral and manta rays.

港から船に乗り沖に出て30分位でサンドバーに付きました！上から見て白い所がサンドバー(砂洲)なので足が充分に付き浅いですよと説明を聞き、見て初めてどんなものか理解出来ました^_^;
写真を見て綺麗な所だなぁと思い予約しましたが、沖にあるとは思っていなくて、不思議な雰囲気とも相まって、想像以上に素敵な場所でした！船上の
バーベキューランチも美味しく、珊瑚やマンタも見れて楽しかったです。

If I had known the shuttle bus route, I wouldn't have used it. I can't believe it took an hour...

The air conditioning was too strong, and I got cold.

The breakfast was so bad and disappointing that I was speechless...

In bad weather, I strained my eyes on the deck for an hour, but the whales didn't show up; all I could see were small boats...

The worst part was that someone who got seasick had vomited, and it was left unattended for a long time...

I woke up early to go, but...

I would have been better off sleeping at the hotel. It was disappointing...

送迎バスのルートを知っていたら使いませんでした。まさか1時間もかかるとは、、
クーラーの効きすぎで身体が冷えました。

朝食もまずくてショボすぎて絶句…

悪天候の中デッキで目を凝らすこと1時間、、くじらはあらわれず、見えるのは小型ボートのみ、、

最悪なのは船酔いされた方が嘔吐したものが長時間放置されていたこと、、

せっかく早起きして行ったのに・・

これならホテルで寝てれば良かったです。残念でした、、

My wife and I had a very nice time on the cruise. We decided to do the stake and all you can eat crab legs. The food was good and our waiter was very funny. The only thing we didn't like too much was the crowdedness. My wife is claustrophobic, so she didn't like that the tables were very close together. Other then that being our one complaint, this is a cruise worth doing. The sunset is beautiful!

Was awesome! Will most likely do this again for the 3rd time :) crab dinner was unlimited was nice

I was wondering if there would be many people participating in the tour, but there were actually quite a few (mostly young people).

Upon arrival, there was a simple baggage check before entering. The line for entry was a bit chaotic, and I wasn't sure where to stand, but we were able to get in without much confusion.

Once inside, the first thing to do is to store your belongings in a locker. To elaborate on the lockers, you pay for the locker fee in advance at the machine shown in the first image. The large locker costs $18, and the small one costs $13 (as seen in the second image). We used a small locker for the two of us. We managed to enter with just the essentials. You can pay with cash or credit card, and you will receive change. After payment, a paper with your locker number is issued, and you can use that locker. You can open and close it as many times as you need.

The pool itself wasn't crowded, so most attractions had little to no wait time. It was fun, but when it got a bit cloudy, the strong wind made it quite cold. A cover-up is a must!

Among the attractions, the wave pool was surprisingly enjoyable. There are also plenty of slides, so I think kids would love it too.

I highly recommend that everyone give it a try at least once. You can enjoy a different experience compared to the beaches in Waikiki!

ツアーに参加する人はいるのかなと思っていましたが、思いのほか人数が多かったです。（若い子ばかり）
現地に到着すると、入場前に簡単な手荷物検査がありました。入場待ちの列がアバウト過ぎてどこに並べばいいかわかりませんでしたが、たいした混乱もなく入場できました。
入るとまずロッカーに荷物を預けます。ロッカーについて少し詳しく述べると、画像1枚目の機械で先にロッカーの代金を支払います。大が18ドル、小が13ドル（画像2枚目）です。わが家は夫婦2名分で小を利用しました。最低限の荷物でなんとか入りました。代金は現金でもクレジットカードでも大丈夫です。おつりもでます。支払いが終わるとロッカー番号が指定された紙が出てくるので、そのロッカーを使用します。開け閉めは何回でもできます。
プール自体は混んでいなかったので、ほとんどのアトラクションが待ち時間もあまりなく利用できました。楽しかったですが、少し曇ると風が強いせいか極寒でした。はおるものは必須です！
アトラクションの中では波が起こるプールが意外とおもしろかったです。スライダー系もたくさんあるのでお子さんも喜ぶと思います。
みなさんもぜひ一度行かれてみてはどうでしょうか。ワイキキの海とは違った楽しみ方ができますよ！
