It was a wonderful cruise had a lot of fun. Would it again

I always wanted to visit the sandbar, so I joined this tour, which was just right in terms of price and time☆ The bus on the way there was quite large, but it was mostly filled with Japanese people! The guide was also Japanese.

As we got closer to Kaneohe, oh no? The weather… heavy rain!! (laughs) The guide, Yuki, encouraged us by saying, "Those who are going into the water will get wet anyway! It's okay!" but it was pouring. (laughs) We quickly boarded the boat and set off! The crew was really enthusiastic and got everyone excited! Yuki even dressed in a bikini to pump up the energy! (As expected!)

Since the weather at the sandbar can change quickly, we started with turtle watching while hoping for the best. Gradually, the rain lightened up (^ ^) and we saw a ton of sea turtles! We even spotted a big manta ray—amazing! By the time we arrived at the sandbar, the rain had stopped, and the water level was about to our ankles. We took lots of photos here!

After that, it was snorkeling time, but my mom, who is in her 50s, stayed on the boat while I went snorkeling alone. The snorkeling lasted about 20 to 30 minutes. I was able to float around with the sea turtles☆

Afterward, we got back on the boat for snack time. While enjoying sandwiches outside, it started pouring again. (laughs) We dashed back inside the boat!!

It was a day plagued by rain, but the sandbar was beautiful as expected☆ The snorkeling might be a bit short for experienced people, but swimming with the sea turtles made for great memories! Thank you, Yuki~~!!

サンドバーに一度は行ってみたくて、価格的にも時間的にもちょうど良いこちらのツアーに参加しました☆
行きのバスは結構大型ですが、ほぼ日本人！ガイドの方も日本の方でした。
カネオヘに近づくにつれて、、おや？天気が…豪雨！！笑
「海に入る人はどうせ濡れるから！大丈夫！」とガイドのユキさんが励ましてくれましたが、ひどい雨。笑
すぐボートに乗り込み、いざ出発！
クルーの方は一生懸命盛り上げてくれます！ユキさんも気合いを入れてビキニ姿に！(流石です！)
サンドバーは天気が変わりやすいとのことだったので、期待しながらまずはウミガメウォッチング。そうすると雨もだんだん小降りに(^ ^)しかもウミガメ大量発生！ついでに大きなマンタも見れました〜！最高！
サンドバーに着く頃には雨も止み、水位はくるぶしくらい。ここでたくさん写真を撮りました！
そのあとシュノーケルタイムですが、一緒に参加していた50代の母は船に残りわたしだけシュノーケルへ。
シュノーケルは時間にして20〜30分くらいです。ウミガメちゃんと一緒にプカプカできました☆

そのあと船に乗りスナックタイム。外で気持ちよ〜くサンドウィッチを食べていると、またまた大雨。笑
急いで船の中にダッシュ！！

終始雨に悩まされた日でしたが、やはりサンドバーは綺麗です☆シュノーケルは慣れてる人には短いかもですが、ウミガメちゃんと泳げて良い思い出になりました！
ユキさんありがとう〜〜！！

I made a reservation for a Friday departure with a course meal and a window seat guarantee (optional). The day before the tour, I received an email stating, "The window seat guarantee can no longer be accommodated. There is a possibility of sharing a table. The optional fee will be refunded." I was honestly anxious because it was my biggest enjoyment for my last night in Hawaii. I contacted the local operator myself to confirm the window seat guarantee and private seating, and in the end, I was able to sit at a window seat with private seating as originally booked, which was great. However, I was surprised and worried by the last-minute notice that the option was unavailable.

The activity itself was very satisfying; the new boat had little sway, the interior was clean, the food was delicious, and the staff was friendly. I was very pleased overall. It was a fantastic tour, but it was a bit disappointing to have confusion regarding the reservation details.

Additional note: I wonder if negative reviews are not reflected? Other reviews I wrote on the same day have been reflected in both the review and points, but this review has not appeared on the product page and does not have points.

金曜日出発、コース料理、窓際確約（オプション）で予約。
ツアー前日に「窓際確約はできなくなりました。相席になる可能性もあります。オプション代は返金します。」とメールが来ました。ハワイ最後の夜の一番の楽しみだったため、正直焦りました。自分で現地の催行会社に問合せ、窓際確約・プライベート席なのを確認し、結果的には予約通り窓際・プライベート席に座れたので良かったですが、直前のオプション不可という連絡に驚き不安になりました。
アクティビティ自体は、新しい船ということもあり、揺れも少なく、船内もきれいで、料理も美味しく、スタッフも親切で大満足です。
大満足のツアーだっただけに予約内容の件でゴタゴタしたのが少し残念でした。

My wife and I went on a Thursday and had a wonderful time. There were two boats, one for English speaking people and one for Japanese speaking. When we got to the sandbar they tied the boats together and we explored the sandbar. My wife and I practiced or snorkeling skills and checked out our equipment, walked around the sandbar, and then played water volleyball. To my surprise, not many people wanted to play so my wife and I joined in. Our team consisted of us and 3 from the Japanese boat while the other team was 2 of the guides and 3 Japanese people. We may not have spoken the same language but it did remind me that laughter is a language we all share and speak. When we got back on the boat, we enjoyed a cheeseburger in paradise and were serenaded by one of the guides. We then went looking for turtles on the way to reef (we saw 3). The reef was amazing and we saw a turtle and tons of fish. After snorkeling for about 30 minutes, it was time to head back. Our final treat was seeing the original Gilligan's Island on the way back to port. We have lasting memories and it was a great time.

We were picked up at Hilton around 8 AM and took a minivan, which was full with 21 people, passing by Sheraton and other places. Despite the traffic, we arrived in about an hour. Two vans joined us at the location. We took a boat for 15 minutes to the sandbar. We enjoyed walking in the sea and snorkeling. It was an amazing time.

ヒルトンを８時頃のピックアップでシェラトン等を経由してミニバンは２１名満席。渋滞の中も含み約１時間で到着。現地では２台が合流。ボートに乗りサンドバーへ１５分。海の散歩とシュノーケル。最高の時間を過ごせました。

There were many water slides, and the pool was very fun! The all-you-can-drink option was also great! However, the BBQ lunch was not delicious and it wasn't really BBQ.

ウォータースライダーなど沢山ありプールはとても楽しかったです！
ドリンク飲み放題もとても良かったです！
ただBBQランチは美味しくないしBBQじゃなかったです。

It was a very beautiful cruise ship, and since it was Friday, we were able to see fireworks, which was great! However, dinner was served a bit early. By the time we returned to our seats after exploring the ship once the buffet was over, the cups for our tea had already been cleared away, so it was disappointing that we couldn't have a post-dinner tea time.

とても綺麗なクルーズ船で、金曜日だったので花火も見れてとても良かったです！
ただ夕飯にしては早い時間でした。ビュッフェが終わって船内を回ってから席に戻ってきたときには紅茶を飲むコップも片づけられていたため、食後のティータイムが出来なかったのが残念でした。

I participated in mid-June. I was worried about the weather, but the waves weren't high and I didn't get seasick. While searching for sea turtles, I unexpectedly saw a shark! When we arrived at the sandbar spot, it was completely sunny and felt great. Since it wasn't low tide, the water level was about knee-deep. During snorkeling, it was slightly cloudy and the depth was 10 meters, so it was cold and I was desperately trying not to get swept away. After snorkeling, the food was a bit disappointing because it was cold and I couldn't eat much, but the staff really made it fun. It started pouring rain right after the tour ended, so I was really glad the weather was nice during the tour.

6月中旬に参加しました。お天気が心配でしたが、波も高くなく船酔いも大丈夫でした。ウミガメを探していたら、偶然にもサメが！サンドバーのスポットに到着した時はすっかり晴れてとても気持ちよかったです。干潮ではなかったので水位は膝くらいまででした。シュノーケル時は若干曇って深さ10mだったので寒かったのと流されないように泳ぐので必死でした。シュノーケル後のごはんでしたが寒くてあまりいただけなくて残念でしたがスタッフの皆さんが盛り上げてくれて楽しかったです。ツアー終了と同時に大雨になったのでツアー中晴れていて本当によかったです。

I participated in a tour that included lunch. The water was quite deep, reaching up to my chest. People who joined in the morning said it wasn't that deep. There was a Japanese guide, so I felt reassured since I could communicate in Japanese. It gets really sunny, so sunscreen is a must. There is a toilet on the boat, but it was dirty, so I didn't want to use it. The wind was strong, and during lunch, plates and cups almost flew away, so most people ate inside. The hamburger for lunch was just average. The sea was beautiful, and I was able to see sea turtles.

ランチ付の便で参加しました。
結構水深が深くて、胸までありました。
朝に参加した人はそんなに深くなかったと言っていました。
日本人のガイドの人がいたので、日本語が通じるし、安心です。
すごくやけるので、日焼け止めは必須です。
船の中にトイレはありますが、汚いので行きたくはなかったです。
風が強くて、ランチのときにお皿やコップが飛びそうになり、ほとんどの人は中で食べていました。
ランチのハンバーガーは普通かなって感じです。
海はキレイで海亀も見れました。

Although the weather on the day wasn't very good, I was able to see sea turtles and snorkeling was fun. The staff were kind and their conversations were entertaining! One point to note is that since you have to walk to the bus, if the weather is bad, I think it's a good idea to bring a folding umbrella and a long-sleeved jacket for changing.

当日天候はあまり良くなかったものの海ガメを見る事も出来たしシュノーケリングも楽しかったです。
スタッフの方々も優しくトークも面白かったです！
注意点は、バスまで歩くため天候が悪い場合、折り畳みガサと着替えに長袖の上着を持って行った方がいいと思います。

I was looking forward to walking on the sandbar, but it seems that sandbars are very rare.
I wouldn't recommend it for those who don't want to swim.
If the water had been knee-deep, I could have gone into the sea, but it was above my waist.
I was deceived by the photos and the promotional text.

砂州の上を歩くのをお楽しみにしていましたが、砂州が現れることはごく稀だそうです。
泳ぐ気が無い人にはお勧めしません。
水が膝下ぐらいだったら海にはいれたのですが、腰以上でした。
写真とうたい文句にだまされました。

The weather was unfortunately cloudy. The water level at the sandbar was about up to my waist, but I was able to see sea turtles and manta rays, making it a fun tour!

お天気はあいにくの曇。。 サンドバーはもも位までの水位でしたがウミガメ、マンタも見れて、楽しいツアーでした♪

This was my first trip to Hawaii. Although I had a standard seat, it was close enough to the stage and very impressive. There were scenes where guests could participate, which was a lot of fun and gave me a sense of being in a foreign country. To be honest, the food was a bit disappointing, so I think it's better to consider meals separately. Also, since there is no shade, some seats are exposed to the blazing sun even in the evening. Hats and sunglasses are a must!

初めてのハワイ旅行です。スタンダードシートでしたが舞台には十分近く、迫力満点でした。ゲスト参加のシーンもあり、非常に楽しく、異国感を味わえました(=´∀｀)人(´∀｀=)食事は正直微妙でした、、食事は別で考えたほうがいいと思います。また、日除けがないため、夕方ですが席によっては炎天下に暫しさらされます。帽子やサングラスなど必須です☆

Crew was fun and very encouraging to all that were new to snorkelling I was travelling on my own and I felt a part of the whole group. Loved seeing the turtles

I participated with my 6-year-old child. We played in the kids' pool, on the slide for those over 107 cm, and in the wave pool. The wave pool had a limited number of free floaties, so there was quite a scramble for them... but the waves were a lot of fun.

The lazy river also had few floaties, and it wasn't very enjoyable without one, so that was a bit disappointing. For lunch, we had a barbecue, but since it was a weekday and relatively less crowded, I felt that eating at the snack bar might have been a good option too. However, it was nice to have a place with a roof to eat comfortably.

The free drinks were mostly unnecessary, but having lunch and drinks included made it easier since I didn't have to carry cash. With kids at this age, they don't really slide down aggressively, so it feels a bit overpriced. There were quite a few slides they couldn't go on yet, so I think it would be really fun when they reach around 3rd grade and can slide on everything.

６歳子連れで参加しました。子供プールや107センチ以上可のスライダー、波のプールで遊びました。
波のプールは無料の浮き輪が少なく結構争奪戦でした。。。でも波はとても楽しいです。
流れるプールも浮き輪が少なく浮き輪がないとあまり楽しくないのでここはうーん、、といった感じでした。
昼食はバーベキューランチにしましたが、平日で割と人も少なかったので売店でもよかったかも、という気はしました。ただ、屋根のある場所でゆっくり食べられるのはいいです。
フリードリンクもほぼ不要でしたが、ランチ・ドリンクつきだとお金を持ち歩く必要がないので気は楽でした。
子供がこのくらいの年だとまだガンガン滑る感じではないので、ちょっと価格が高く見合わない感じはします。まだ滑れないスライダーが結構あったので、全部滑れる小学生３年生くらいになったらとっても楽しいのではと思います。

The slides were generally fun! However, since I didn't bring flip-flops, I had to walk barefoot... and it was incredibly hot. It was so hot that it felt like it could burn my feet. Since you can't wear flip-flops while on the slides, I recommend wearing water shoes. It seemed like you could slide with them on.

スライダーは全般面白かった！
しかし、ビーサンを持参しなかったため、素足で歩くことに・・
これがとにかく熱いのなんのって。やけどするくらいチリチリに熱い。
ビーサンはスライダーで履いたまま乗れないので、マリンシューズを履いて行く事を
オススメします。マリンシューズならそのまま滑れるみたいでした。

Of everything we did seeing the Arizona & USS Missouri was our favorite. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and courteous. We learned so much history and was just at awe to get to see Pearl Harbor!

Great adventure! Loved the crew, the sandbar, the BBQ and the snorkel. Highly recommend for families.

the package includes 4:00 pm late admission, followed by the ali'i luau (dinner and show), then about an hour break before the start of "Ha" (the night show). there's a lot to see at the PSC and unfortunately you don't get to enjoy much of the park with a late admission, so if we'd had it over to do again we would've tried to get a package that let us enter earlier. the luau was really enjoyable, and the food in the buffet was surprisingly tasty! there's an hour between the end of the luau buffet and "Ha", so we went to see the Hawaiian history movie (sorry, can't remember the name of it), which involved 15 minutes of watching gorgeous scenery. "Ha" itself reminded many of us in the group of a polynesian version of "Lion King the musical", but the fire dancing finale was spectacular--definitely the highlight.

We chose the Royal package, it was alot of fun sitting up close and getting to eat first! There were lots of activities to do before dinner and everyone was very friendly and helpful. The alcoholic drinks are very "light", drink your free ones but save your money on the others. Buy some of the hand made jewelry instead!!

On the last day of my stay in Hawaii, I chose a sunset cruise. The boat was recently renovated and looked very nice. I opted for the buffet for the meal, and the taste and variety were average, nothing special. After boarding, the meal began, and we set sail shortly after. Once we finished eating, we could freely move to the bar counter or the deck to enjoy tropical cocktails and watch the sunset. It was a very pleasant cruise, sipping cocktails while enjoying the sea breeze and taking in the sunset views of Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head. I highly recommend it!

ハワイ滞在の最終日に、サンセットクルーズを選びました。
船は最近改装したらしく、とてもきれいでした。
食事はビュッフェを選んだのですが、味、品数は普通、まあまあでした。
乗船してから食事が始まり、しばらくしてから出港しました。食事が終わったら、自由にバーカウンターや、デッキに移動して、トロピカルカクテルを楽しんだり甲板に上がって、夕日を見たりできます。夕焼けに照らされたワイキキビーチやダイヤモンドヘッドを見て、海風にあたりながらカクテルを飲んだりしてとても気持ちいいクルージングでした。
ぜひお勧めです！

Jenner was awesome really made the adventure fun!!

I heard that the sandbar, which looks like something out of a magazine, can only be seen twice a month, so I was hopeful. However, when I went, it just felt like a shallow area, so it wasn't really enjoyable as a sandbar experience. Still, I think it's a spot worth visiting for some conversation starters when in Hawaii!

Later, during snorkeling, I got to see a big turtle and tropical fish, which was definitely much more fun. Haha! There were also Japanese staff members, so the conversations were enjoyable too!

サンドバーは雑誌に載ってるような感じになるのは月に２回しか見られないとのことだったので、運を信じましたが、行った日はただの浅瀬のような感じだったので、サンドバーを楽しむという感じではありませんでしたが、ハワイに行ったら話題作りのためにも行ったほうがいいスポットだと思います！
その後のシュノーケルで大きな亀と熱帯魚が見れたので、そっちの方が断然楽しかったです。笑
日本人のスタッフもいるので、トークも楽しくよかったです！

It was a bit cloudy on the day, but the way the guide took photos was perfect and really boosted my spirits. I was also glad to see sea turtles.

当日は曇り気味でしたが、案内してくれたお姉さんの写真の撮り方がバッチリでテンションあがりました。ウミガメも見ることができて、良かったです。

We have made previous trips to Oahu and had never does this. This is an excellent trip to have All you can eat crab you can eat, which is absolutely true, they kept it coming. The entertainment was interactive with the guests and hilarious to watch and to participate. Plan to do this again.

The tour was awesome. Our guide was fantastic. The luau was wonderful. We got to participate as part of celebrating our 34th anniversary. The Breath of life show was awesome.

Transportation to Hanauma Bay was great...very easy pick up and drop off from hotel. Snorkeling equipment was included, which made it very easy all the way around! Hanauma Bay is just gorgeous with lots to see as you snorkel!

I felt like I waited about 30 minutes to get the locker key. It's best to line up at the locker reception as soon as you enter. There are some thrilling rides, and my family and I had a great time.

ロッカーの鍵をもらうのに、30分ぐらい並んだ気がします。入場したらすぐにロッカー受付に並んだほうがいいです。なかなかスリルのある乗り物もあり、親子で楽しめました。

The pool was just the right size, not too big and not too small. It's quite enjoyable even for adults! I recommend it. The all-you-can-drink option was convenient and great.

広すぎず狭すぎず、ちょうど良い大きさのプールでした。割と大人でも楽しめます！！おすすめです。ドリンク飲み放題は楽で良かったです。

I have participated in other dolphin tours, but I felt that this tour was expensive and I should have chosen one of the more affordable options considering the content.

We bought a USB as a memento of our honeymoon, but there were really very few photos taken of us. The pictures taken from our seats on the boat mostly showed the boat's walls and the background scenery was lacking. Other groups had photos of themselves swimming in the ocean, but we didn't have any of those, which was really disappointing when we got back. Given that they said they wanted to take many photos of those who purchased the USB, I thought the number and quality of the photos were quite lacking. Moreover, the USB was expensive.

Even while swimming, we were told not to follow the cameraman, even though we were just swimming straight. It made me feel really uncomfortable, even though that wasn't our intention. When we were sitting on the edge of the boat, they were attentive to us, but they weren't paying attention to other groups of girls. They also guided us to indoor seats without mentioning that we could fit more people on the deck (those seats didn't allow us to see the surrounding scenery and were hot, making it hard to feel like we were on a cruise). I wish they had been a bit more considerate of everyone. Even though the Japanese guides might have been trying to be nice by saying things like "The sea is beautiful!" or "You seem a bit down," from our perspective, it felt a bit insensitive and lacking in consideration.

However, the crew that joined us locally was cheerful and considerate, which made it a lot of fun. The dolphins swam right next to us and below us, which was magical. We could hear their calls, and it was moving.

So, I think there are people who will enjoy this tour and those who won't. Especially since it was our honeymoon. We didn't have any photos underwater that we were looking forward to as mementos, nor any fun photos taken from the deck. Haha. I also felt that the guide's attitude was not very favorable, and while we did get to swim with the dolphins, I think I will use another tour next time.

他のイルカツアーに参加した事もありますが、このツアーは価格も高いし、内容も含めて他のもっと価格を抑えたツアーを選べばよかったと思いました。
新婚旅行の記念にusbを買ったけど、私たちを撮ってくれた写真は本当に少なく、船の座った席で撮った写真はバックの景色も船の壁ばかりで、他のグループは海で泳いでる写真もあったのに、私たちのものはなく帰ってきてみて、スゴくがっかりしました。
usb購入した人を多く撮りたいと言っていただけに、あまりにもな写真の数と内容だなと思いました。しかも、usb高い。
泳いでるときも、まっすぐ泳いでいただけなのにカメラマンの人についてこないでと言われて、そのつもりもないのにすごく気分が悪かった。
船の縁に座っていたときも私たちには注意していたのに、他の女の子のグループには注意していなかったり、もっとつめれば座れるデッキの席も何も言わず屋内の席に誘導したり（その席は周りの景色も見えないし暑く、クルーズしてる気分には到底なれない）、もう少し全員に配慮してくれればいいのになと思いました。また、屋内の席にいるのに海が綺麗だよーとか元気ないねーとか日本語ガイドさん達も気を利かせていっていたのかもしれないけど、
こっちの立場からすれば、ちょっと無神経で言葉にも配慮がないのかなと感じてしまいました。
しかし、現地合流のクルーは陽気で気を使ってくれたりと、とても楽しかったです。
イルカもすぐ横や下を泳いでいて幻想的。鳴き声も聞こえて感動しました。

なので、このツアーに合う人と合わない人がいると思います。
新婚旅行だったので尚更。記念に楽しみにしていた海の中での写真も無く、デッキから撮った楽しそうな写真もなく。笑
何となくガイドさんの態度も好感が持てず、イルカと泳げたからまあいっかというくらいで、
次回は他のツアーを利用すると思います。
