I participated because the low tide at the sandbar matched my travel schedule. The water depth was about calf-deep, which I thought was great. After walking on the sandbar and taking photos, those who wanted to went snorkeling. Unlike snorkeling in areas close to the shore, it was a bit of a unique experience.

サンドバーの干潮時期と旅行日程が合ったので参加しました。
水深は、ふくらはぎ程度でしたので良かったと思います。
サンドバーの上を歩いて写真撮影等をした後で、希望者のみシュノーケリングをしました。
岸に近い場所でのシュノーケリングとは違い、ちょっと変わった体験ができました。

After finding parking ($12) rushed to locate the shuttle which started late because someone on another business had to go potty. Rode to downtown area where there was about 3 blocks of Christmas lights and then stopped to walk around a building with a few trees in it then back to wait on another late bus just to return to where we started. Huge disappointment for $25 and 3 hours I'll never get back.

I participated with my mother, who is in her 60s and cannot swim. She was worried about whether it would be okay since she can't swim, but as long as you don't snorkel, it's not a problem at all. You can wait on the boat or play in shallow areas. However, when getting off the boat, it is quite deep, so I think it might be surprising at first. After that, it's shallow, so as long as you pay attention when getting off, I don't think there will be any issues.

Unfortunately, the weather was cloudy and rainy, which was disappointing, but the cruise staff were very nice. When you see a turtle, they will point out the direction, saying something like "Turtle at 3 o'clock!" I would like to try again on a sunny day.

泳げない60代の母親と2人で参加しました。泳げないので大丈夫か母親が心配していましたが、シュノーケルをしなければ、全然問題ないです。船で待つこともできますし、浅いところで遊ぶこともできます。ただ、船から降りるときはとても深いので、最初びっくりすると思います。その先は浅いので、降りるときだけ注意していれば問題ないと思います。
お天気があいにく曇りと雨で残念でしたが、クルーズのスタッフの方もとてもいいかたでした。亀が見えると、かめー3時とか亀がいる方向を教えてくれますよ♪お天気がいいときに再チャレンジしたいです。

Highly recommended! Also very informative about the different cultures among the pacific island nations. The late HA show was so-so though! Beautiful tropical surroundings and professional performers.

Our guide was a funny and informative guide. Henry made our morning and drive back in the evening enjoyable!!!

This was my third visit, two days after running the Honolulu Marathon. We ordered a bottle of wine and enjoyed a course meal. The food was very delicious, and the portion sizes were just right for us as a couple in our 60s! It was a bit disappointing that there were no staff members who spoke Japanese.

ホノルルマラソンを走った翌々日に3回目の訪問。
ワインはボトルでオーダーしてコース料理をいただきました。
とても美味しいお料理で、私達60過ぎの夫婦には量もちょうどいい！
日本語を話せるスタッフがいなかったのが少し残念でした。

My wife and I went to this adventure hoping to have a great time and see some fish here and there while snorkeling but these guys got us a great tour and we saw a ton of fish near the coral reef where they took us. The staff is super friendly and fun plus. The food was right on point and we loved they even gave us some hot chocolate after the swim to warm us up a bit.
Jenner and the captain are super friendly, I would love to go back and see them again when I go back to Hawaii.

Our kids enjoyed all you can ear crabs then loved sunset view.

I participated at the end of November. Despite the unfortunate weather, it became a fun memory. I attended with my 2-year-old daughter, and I am truly, truly grateful for the kindness of the staff. The lunch hamburger was delicious, and I was also happy to have a warm drink after snorkeling. We even saw sea turtles! I made a wish too, haha. I want to participate again!! Hawaii is the best!

11月末に参加させて頂きました。あいにくの天候でしたが、楽しい思い出になりました。2歳の娘との、
参加でしたが、スタッフの方々のお心遣いに本当に本当に感謝です。ランチのハンバーガーも美味しかったですしシュノーケルの後の温かい飲み物も嬉しかったです♡
海ガメも見れました♡お願い事もしました笑
また参加したいです！！ハワイ最高です♡♡

I participated in a sandbar tour. The weather was bad, but I was able to enjoy the sandbar and snorkeling. Also, the BBQ hamburger for lunch was delicious.

サンドバーツアーに参加しました。天気が悪かったですが、サンドーバーやシュノーケルを満喫できました。また、ランチのBBQハンバーガーが美味しかったです。

The team was absolute pro, and knew how to take care of us.
Would definitely recommend them to all my friends.

For the price we paid we were disappointed. The brochure made the park look much larger than it really was. Also, many of the slides were closed, opened periodically. I think they may have been short staffed as lifeguards hopped from slide to slide closing them as they went.
Slides were fun but I don't think worth what we paid.

The tour was quite cold due to the cloudy weather. Everyone on the tour was Japanese. There was one Japanese guide and a few locals from Hawaii. The Japanese guide mainly led the tour. During the sea turtle watching, we were able to see several sea turtles. After the photo session at the sandbar, we went snorkeling. It was cold! (laughs) Since we were snorkeling in a large group, honestly, we couldn't see anything due to the sand. I had imagined beautiful fish and coral, but unfortunately, that wasn't the case. A light meal of sandwiches and chips, along with warm drinks, was also provided. I hope to go on a nice weather day next time!

曇りだったため、とても寒い中でのツアーになりました。ツアーは全員日本人。ガイドさんはひとり日本人で、あと数名ハワイの方がいました。主に日本人ガイドが案内をしてくれます。ウミガメウォッチングでは、何匹ものウミガメがみれました。サンドバーでの写真撮影時間を終え、スノーケルへ。寒かった！（笑）多くの人数で連なってスノーケルするので、正直砂ぼこりでなにも見えませんでした。綺麗な魚と珊瑚を想像していましたが、残念。軽食はサンドイッチとチップス、温かい飲み物も用意されていました。今度は天気のいい日に行けたらいいなー！

Fantastic trip! Great staff. Will be doing it again next time we visit!

Our accommodation was at Hilton Hawaiian Village, but the pickup was at Ilikai Hotel (meeting at 9 AM). I was surprised to find that the pickup vehicle was a large bus instead of a van. I understood why the meeting point was in front of Ilikai Hotel, as it must be difficult to enter the narrow pickup area at Hilton. After that, we stopped at several hotels, and by the time we headed to the port, the bus was almost full. We arrived at the port in about an hour. After that, we took a boat to the sandbar. Since it wasn't low tide, even in shallow areas, the water depth was up to my knees, but the scenery was beautiful. We then had lunch with hamburgers topped with grilled patties on the boat, moved to a spot where sea turtles frequently appear for turtle watching from the boat, and then went to a large coral reef for snorkeling. Here, we were able to see many fish and turtles. However, I think the coral and sea in Ishigaki Island, where I go diving every year, might be prettier (though it probably depends on the day's conditions). After returning to the port, we switched to a bus and went back to the hotel (we returned to the hotel around 3 PM). When we got off the boat, the Japanese guide asked for a tip, which made me wonder if it wasn't included in the tour fee. There are tours on Veltra that include tips, so it might be a good idea for everyone to check.

宿泊先がヒルトンハワイアンビレッジでしたが、ピックアップはイリカイホテルでした。（9時に集合）迎えの車をワゴン車だと思っていたら、大型バスでびっくり。ヒルトンの狭い送迎場所に入りにくいのだろうなと、集合場所がイリカイホテル前だったことを納得しました。その後、数ヵ所のホテルに寄り、港に向かう時にはバスがほぼ満席になっていました。港には1時間程度で到着。その後、船でサンドバーへ。サンドバーは、干潮でなかったため、膝程度まで浅いところでも水深がありましたが、きれいな景色が広がっていました。その後、船上で焼き上げたパテをのせたハンバーガーの昼食、ウミガメがよく出没するポイントに移動して船上からのウミガメ見学、大きなサンゴ礁に移動してシュノーケルを行いました。ここでは、たくさんの魚や亀を見ることができました。ただ、毎年ダイビングに行く石垣島のほうが珊瑚や海はきれいかな。（その日のコンディションにもよるのでしょうが）その後、港にもどり、バスに乗り換え、ホテルに戻りました。（ホテルに戻ったのが15時くらい）船を降りるときに、日本人のガイドにチップを求められた時は、ツアー料金に含まれていないの？と疑問が沸いて来ましたので、同じveltraのツアーでチップ込のツアーもあったりしますので、皆さん確認はされたほうがいいかもしれません。

Great time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Our tour bus guide was very friendly and knowledgeable about many aspects of Hawaii's history. He got us to all the tour destinations with just the right amount of time at each location. Thanks for the Hawaiian language lesson as well.

I made a reservation for a "Cruise & Sea" experience to help my husband, who has never been to Hawaii, fall in love with it. The weather was quite changeable, but during lunch and the timing at the sandbar, it cleared up beautifully, and it felt wonderful. We even saw sea turtles!

I didn't go snorkeling; instead, I relaxed on the boat, enjoying the scenery and reading, which was also nice. My husband was enjoying the beautiful views on the Angel's Sea Cruise as well!

When we went from the boat to the sandbar, we had to swim a little in the water, and I thought it would have been better if we could have just stepped onto the sand directly. (I guess it might not be possible because it's a large boat.)

ハワイは行ったことがないという主人に、ハワイを大好きになってもらいたくて、「クルーズ・海」で、ハワイを堪能してもらいたくて、予約しました。
天候はコロコロと変動がありましたが、ランチ、サンドバーのタイミングには、ぱーっと晴れて、とても気持ちが良かったです。ウミガメも見れました！
私は、シュノーケリングはせずに、船の上でのんびり景色をみたり、読書をしたりして、過ごしましたが、それもまた良かったです。
主人も、きれいだねと、天使の海クルーズを堪能していました！
船からサンドバーに行く時に、海の中を少し泳いでいかないといけなかっったので、そのまま砂の上に降りれたらもっとよかったなぁって思います。（大きな船なので無理なのかと思いますが。）

Niu helped us to find the place and actually called to see it the trolley could wait for us! Thanks for a really nice time!

Exploring the sandbar was easy when the seabed was sandy, but when we got closer to the rocky areas, it was painful on the soles of our feet, and everyone let out little screams. However, wandering underwater was fun. I can't swim at all, and while I didn't snorkel, the participants who dove were all excited about the beautiful sea. It's a shame I couldn't see it! But for those who couldn't dive (like me and a grandmother with small children), we were able to take a sightseeing tour around the area on a motorboat. The crew only spoke English, but chatting with them was enjoyable. The Japanese-speaking guide was also interesting, and the meal exceeded my expectations. Those who dove seemed to get hungry, as they even went back for seconds. Next time, I hope to be able to swim a bit better and challenge myself to try snorkeling again.

サンドバーの散策は砂場状の海底の時は未だ歩きやすいのですが、岩に近い海底面の時は足裏が痛くて皆んなチョット悲鳴をあげたり、海中の散策が面白かったです。全く泳げないのですが、シュノーケリングの時はしませんでしたが、潜った参加者の方々は皆さん楽しいんで綺麗な海の様子に興奮気味でした。見れなくて残念！でも、潜れない人(私と小さいお子様連れのおばあさん)には、モータボートで周りを観光させてくださいました。英語しか喋れないクルーでしたが、お喋りがたのしかったです。日本語でのガイドさんんもおもしろく、食事も結構期待以上の内容でした。潜った人達はやはりお腹が空くのかお代わりまでしていましたよ。次回は少し泳げるようになって、シュノーケリングにチャレンジできるよう、又利用しようと思います。

Despite being told to gather 15 minutes early and arriving on time, there was no guidance to the bus even after more than 30 minutes past the departure time, which frustrated the other participants as well. After waiting 40 minutes past the scheduled departure, we were finally directed to the bus and set off, but we only had about 25 minutes to see the City Lights.

The return bus didn't make us wait as long, but it was so crowded that we couldn't find a seat on the trolley and had to stand the entire time.

I couldn't enjoy it at all.

15分前集合という事で、時間厳守したにもかかわらず、出発時間を30分以上過ぎてもいっこうにバスへの案内がなく周りの参加者もイラついていた。出発時間を40分経過した後にバスに案内されてやっと出発したが、シティライツを見ることができる時間は、たったの25分程度…
帰りのバスはそれ程待たされはしなかったが、トロリーに座ることができないほどすし詰め状態で、ずっと立っていた。
全く楽しめなかった。

We wanted to do something fun while my dad was visiting for his and my daughter's birthday. Great trip! The guys were funny and knowledgeable. We saw dolphin right as we sat out on the trip. Snorkeling spot was great and clear blue seas. We hope to do it again!

It was a bit raining in the morning but the Monoa Falls was very very nice.
Our guide explained us very kind and neatly so we understood well.
You must need a shoe to go with.( Some people went there by Beach sandals and slipping over the mud)

It was the rainy season in Honolulu, but we were blessed with good weather and spent a fun few days there. On the last day, we participated in this tour. Unfortunately, we didn't encounter any wildlife, but as everyone has mentioned, it's nature, so there's nothing we can do about it (^^;

However, at the end, we received a compensation slip. Since it was the last day, I thought it would be nice to offer a small refund or even a commemorative postcard for those who missed out. It would change the feeling of disappointment and make us more excited to come back and see them next time!

But all the staff members were great♪ Thank you very much!

雨季のホノルルでしたが、天候に恵まれ
楽しい数日間を過ごし、最終日にこのツアーに参加しました。
あいにく遭遇できませんでしたが、皆さん書かれているように、自然の生き物ですから仕方ないですね(^^;

ただ最後に、補償の紙をいただきましたが
最終日でしたし
そういう人のためには少しでも返金
もしくは記念のポストカード１枚でもあると
残念感が違うし、今度は見るぞ！という気分にさせるのでは？と思いました。

でも、staffの方はみんな良かったです♪
ありがとうございました

In December, the weather was nice, but there was a bit of a chilly impression from the start. Once we boarded the boat and set off, we encountered wild dolphins early on, and we all got into the sea to wait for the dolphins to come closer. After a while, we were thrilled to see the dolphins jumping and spinning in the air nearby! However, it seems that usually, the dolphins come quite close, so timing is important. The seawater was cold, and as someone who is sensitive to the cold, I ended up sitting out for a bit, but I was satisfied to see the wild dolphins up close! Also, personally, the staff were very cheerful and made the atmosphere lively, so just being there was enjoyable! There was also a professional hula dancer, and doing hula dance together at the end was a valuable experience. However, although it was advertised as a boat BBQ, what was served was a hamburger, which raised some questions (the hamburger itself was delicious, though). Overall, it was an experience that you can't have in Japan, so I recommend it! For those sensitive to the cold, even in Hawaii, the seawater in December was chilly, so participating in a warmer season would allow for maximum enjoyment.

12月ということで、天気は良かったのですが、少し肌寒い印象が最初からありました。
船に乗って出発すると、早い段階で野生のイルカに出会うことが出来、みんなで海に入り、イルカが近づいてくるのを待ちました。
しばらくすると近くでイルカ達がジャンプしたり、空中でくるくると回っている様子を見られて感激しました！
ただ、普段だと、かなり間近までイルカが近づいてきてくれることもあるようで、タイミングがあるみたいですね。
海水が冷たく、冷え性の私はこの辺りでダウンしてしましたが、野生のイルカを近くで見ることが出来、満足です！
あと、個人的にはスタッフの方がとっても陽気に場を盛り上げてくれたので、その場にいるだけで楽しめました！プロのフラダンサーさんもいて、最後にみんなでフラダンスをしたのも貴重な体験です。
ただ、船上BBQ付とのことでしたが、提供されたのはハンバーガーだったので、これは疑問です（ハンバーガー自体は美味しかったですよ）
総合的には、日本では出来ない体験が出来たので、オススメです！
冷え性の方はハワイとはいえ１２月の海水は寒かったので、温かいシーズンに参加すると、目一杯楽しめると思います。

This is our third time in Hawaii, and it's our second visit to Wet'n'Wild Hawaii!! That means it's a must-visit for water adventure enthusiasts. Among the attractions, my favorite is the Waimea Whirl, which starts with a steep drop that makes your body feel weightless, followed by two spins while getting splashed, and then you slide down into the pool—it's an adrenaline-pumping slide!!

There are many attractions that couples can enjoy together, and we had a lot of fun! My husband loved the Volcano Express, which is a straight slide where you climb up the stairs and come down from a high point. I took pictures at the bottom!! Everyone rides down on a thin boat, trying to maintain balance while screaming, but their faces are serious.

Then, I thought I could relax on a float in the wave pool, but the waves were no joke! They were huge, and in a way, I screamed the most here. Haha.

We also enjoyed a delicious lunch and returned home with full stomachs!

私たち3度目のハワイで、ここWet'n'Wild Hawaiiに来たのは2回目です！！ということは、ウォーターアドベンチャー系では欠かせないということになりますね。その中でも、私のお気に入りのアトラクションは、ワイメア　ワールといって急落下で体が浮くほどのスタートのお次は、2回転グルグル水しぶきを受けながら回り、また滑りながらプールへ落下するというテンションMax系の滑り台です！！
夫婦二人で、仲良く楽しめるアトラクションも多くとても楽しかったです！旦那さんは、ボルケーノ　エクスプレスといって、ストレート系スライダーなんだけど、とにかく階段を上り高い山の上から下りてくる。私は下でカメラをパシャリ！！皆さん、薄いボートにのってバランスをとりながら下りてくるので、絶叫しながらも顔は真剣です。
あとは、浮き輪にのって波乗りプールでのんびり浮いていようかと、思いきや！これまた、半端な波ではなかった、とてもとてもビックウェイブで、私はある意味ここで一番、絶叫していました。笑。
ランチも美味しく頂いて、お腹いっぱいで帰宅致しましたよ！

The crew on this trip were excellent! We had the whole boat to ourselves. The captain of the boat went out of his way to show us everything we wanted to see. We saw turtles and also saw some dolphins
In the distance. The Crew were very knowledgable and made the experience very worthwhile! The captain knew a lot about the history of the island and talked us through it, throughout the ride. I would recommend this and will recommend this.
The boat ride was excellent! We really enjoyed the trip and this topped it off!
When we saw the dolphins the driver tried to get as close as possible to them before they swam off. The glass bottom allowed is
To see the Bottom of the ocean which was remarkable. The crew were very helpful and made the experience much better!
They pointed out turtles and dolphins, they explained the usual patterns and they gave us advice on what to see around the island and the best spots to visit.

The weather was nice, gradually turning into a beautiful sunset and then night. The atmosphere was great, the hula dance was very impressive, and the food was delicious. I was very satisfied.

天気も良くて、だんだんと夕焼けになって、夜になって、雰囲気も良くて、フラダンスがとても迫力があって、ご飯も美味しくて、大満足です。

This year, the rainy season started early, so the water level at the sandbar was higher, which was a bit disappointing! We were able to see sea turtles, but it really depended on the weather. Since the staff member was Japanese, I felt at ease and was able to participate in the tour.

今年は、雨季が早かったため、サンドバーの海水の高さも高く少し残念でした‼︎
海亀も観れましたが、天気次第かなって感じでしたo(TωT)o
スタッフのお姉さんが日本人だったので、安心して、ツアーには参加できました☆

I'm glad the guide was energetic. The sandwich didn't look appetizing, but it was delicious. I was lucky to see sea turtles swimming. It was raining when we departed, but it was sunny when we arrived. I was lucky.

ガイドが元気で良かった。サンドイッチは、見た目は美味しそうに見えなかったが、美味しかった。海亀が泳いでいるのが、見えた。運が良い。出発する時は、☔️だったが、着いた時は、☀️ていた。運が良い。
