Food was good, view was fantastic, crew was very helpful and entertaining! Fun way to spend an evening!

This activity was a highlight of our trip! The crew was great & we had a blast snorkeling/Snuba-ing! We highly suggest doing the SNUBA! Ross was our guide, and helped make us feel comfortable with everything and helped make our experience great! Food and Drinks were an added bonus. Didn't see any Dolphins, but plenty of beautiful fish, starfish, & turtles. Would do this again in a heartbeat!

We had a wonderful day in our honeymoon! beautiful sea,amazing view,and nice people.I never think about this trip can be unbelievable!

Every time we go to Waikiki, we request to enjoy the slides and the lazy river here. Since my child is still in elementary school, they prefer the pool over the ocean. Both parents and kids can have fun together. I'm sure we'll visit again on our next trip.

毎回、ワイキキに行くときは、ここのスライダーと流れるプールに入りたいとリクエストされます。まだ小学生なので、海よりプールの方が好きです。親子共々楽しめます。きっと次回の旅も行きます。

The wind was strong and it was cloudy, so it was a bit chilly, but the clear blue sea was really beautiful. I was glad to encounter a manta ray. The crew was cheerful and it was a lot of fun. P.S. It's a good idea to research the tide times in advance and decide on the departure time accordingly.

風が強く曇っていたので、少し肌寒さはありましたが透きとおったブルーの海はすごくキレイでした。マンタに遭遇することが出来て良かったです。クルーの皆さんも陽気で楽しかったです。追伸:潮の満ち引きの時間は事前に
リサーチして、出港時間を決めた方が良いですよ。

The sandbar was shallow and beautiful, and even my husband, who isn't fond of the sea, enjoyed it. We played volleyball together, listened to guitar performances on the boat, and the hamburgers for lunch were delicious!

サンドバーは、水位か浅く綺麗で、海が苦手な主人も楽しんでました。皆でバレーボールしたり、船内ではギターの弾き語りが聞けたり、お昼ご飯のハンバーガーも美味しかったです♪

I went with friends I usually hang out with. It was a really fun attraction where I got to see a different side of my friends in an extraordinary environment. If I had one request, it would be that there are many slides but perhaps due to the limited number of staff, the system is such that the slides open and close every 30 minutes. Not everything is available all the time, so people tend to gather. I was able to ride all the slides I wanted, so I'm satisfied.

いつも遊んでいる友達と一緒に行きました。普段と違う非日常の中で友達の違う一面も見る事ができ、本当に楽しいアトラクションでした。ひとつだけリクエストするとすれば、スライダーの数反対多いのですがスタッフの数が少ないためか30分おきにスライダーがオープンしてはクローズするシステム。全てがいつも利用できる訳ではないので人が集中してしまいます。乗りたかったスライダーは全て乗る事ができたので、満足です。

It was a rare bad weather day that happens once a year, but the sea was still beautiful.

I was a bit surprised to see the staff rolling up the hamburger buns for lunch and throwing them at each other like a snowball fight. I guess the sense of fun is a bit different from what I'm used to in Japan. Next time, I’ll choose a different tour.

一年に一度あるかないかの悪天候でしたが、それでも綺麗な海でした。

スタッフがお昼のハンバーガーのバンズを丸めてお互いに雪合戦のように投げ合っていてちょっとビックリしました。
やっぱり日本人とは感覚が違うのかなぁ。
今度は別のツアーにします。

Thoroughly enjoyed the tour. The crew were great and everything went well.

Saw Dolphins/ turtles and plenty of marine life.

Snorkelling was great. Also upgraded to snuba which was really good and definitely worth it.

The service was great. Outstanding staff that was very professional and courteous. I would DEFINITELY recommend this service if you're looking for a special evening.

We had fun and lots of interaction with performers. Chief is super. Great Shows, food and location

We were picked up at 5 AM, and after an 8-hour tour, we arrived at the hotel around 1:30 PM. The program was well-structured, and we had a very fulfilling time. It became a wonderful memory, and I highly recommend it.

First, we were greeted by the bus, where a cheerful Japanese crew member and a beautiful foreign photographer explained the day's itinerary. They also offered us the chance to purchase a USB with photos for $60. It wasn't a hard sell, so you could decline, and since I brought my underwater digital camera, I opted out. However, it seemed that quite a few people ended up purchasing it. Those who bought the USB received a wristband and were prioritized for photos, but the crew also took plenty of pictures of those who didn't buy it, so the USB was filled with photos of other participants. This was a bit embarrassing for those who didn't purchase it, and I wish they would reconsider that practice. By the way, the crew also took photos with my own underwater camera while on the boat. Wet suits are available for rent at $10, and you can get a refund if you don't end up wearing it, which is a nice system. I didn't rent one and just wore a long-sleeve rash guard on top. It was October, but it wasn't cold.

Onboard, the cheerful crew provided great hospitality, allowing everyone to enjoy a fun atmosphere. While cruising, we admired the mountains of West Oahu, spotted rainbows, and found dolphins that jumped in one after another. The water was quite deep and there were waves, but we followed the crew closely and were able to see many dolphins. It was a wonderful experience to see wild dolphins swimming freely in the coral reef waters. There were dozens of dolphins, swimming in groups of 5 to 10, and they came close to us repeatedly.

I felt satisfied when we returned to the boat, but a few people were seasick. I took anti-nausea medication before boarding, but even those who usually don’t get seasick might find it essential. For those prone to seasickness, sitting on the open deck of the boat seems to be a better option. At this time, we were given pineapple.

After that, we enjoyed three hula dance performances (the professional hula dancer was cute and wonderful), and we snorkeled for just under an hour at the turtle spot. We saw three sea turtles and many fish, making it a very enjoyable snorkeling experience. You can also kayak and slide into the sea from the boat. It was a return to childhood fun. Later, we had cheeseburgers (with purple taro buns) and Maui chips while enjoying the fantastic views from the boat. The burger was delicious against the backdrop of the beautiful scenery. Finally, we took a group photo with the crew and all participants, which they sent to us for free via email. By the way, water and lemonade were available for unlimited drinks on the boat.

Perhaps due to the large number of participants, there was no announcement for the hula lesson.

After getting off the boat, we went to the port's restroom (which is spacious and clean), and I recommend changing there quickly.

Overall, the tour was well-structured, and we got to see both dolphins and sea turtles perfectly. It was a highly satisfying experience, and I would love to participate again.

朝5時台にお迎え、ホテルについたのは13時半ごろの8時間長のツアーでしたが、よく練られたプログラム構成で、とても充実した時間でした。素晴らしい思い出となりました。お勧めします。
まず、バスのお迎えがあり、日本人クルーの元気なお姉さんと美人な外国人のカメラマンさんが車中、本日の行程について説明してくれ、写真が入ったＵＳＢ（60ドル）を購入するか、案内があります。決して押し売りではないので断ることもできますし、私は水中デジカメを持参したので断りましたが、かなりの人が購入しているようでした。ＵＳＢを購入する人はリストバンドをもらい、重点的に撮ってもらえるシステムのようですが、購入しない私たちの写真もバシバシ撮っていたので、ＵＳＢにはほかの参加者の写真が満載です。。これは、特に購入しないものにとっては、恥ずかしいし、やめてほしいと思いました。ちなみに船上では持参の水中デジカメでも、クルー自ら写真を撮ってくれました。ウエットスーツは10ドルでレンタルできますし、借りたけど実際に着なければ返金されるとのことで親切なシステムでした。私は借りずに上のみ長袖ラッシュガードを来ていました。10月でしたが寒くはなかったです。
船上では陽気なクルーがホスピタリティーをもってもてなしてくれ、みんなで楽しい気分で時間を過ごすことができました。クルージングをしながら西オアフの山々を眺め、虹をみつけ、イルカがみつかり、次々に飛び込みます。かなり深いですし、波もありますが、ここは必死でクルーについていき、たくさんのイルカをみることができました。サンゴ礁の海の中で自由に泳いでいる野生のイルカをみるのは、なんとも素敵な体験でした。イルカは数十頭いて、5-10頭で固まって泳いでいて、次々に近くにきました。
満足した気分で船にあがりましたが、何人かが船酔い・波酔いではいてました。私も吐き気止めを飲んで乗船しましたが、普段酔わない人でも、吐き気止めは必須かと思います。また、酔いやすい人は、船の中でもオープンな甲板に座るほうがよさそうです。このタイミングでパイナップルをもらいました。
その後、3曲フラダンスを踊ってくれ（プロのフラダンサーの女の子でかわいくて素敵でした）、ウミガメスポットで1時間弱シュノーケルしました。ウミガメは3匹、魚もたくさんいて、とても楽しいシュノーケルでした。また、カヤックや滑り台（船の上から海にとびこみます）もできます。童心にかえり、遊びました。その後、船上でチーズバーガー（タロイモの紫のパンズ）とマウイチップスを食べました。船上の素晴らしい景色を見ながらのバーガーはとてもおいしかったです。最後にクルーと参加者全員で写真をとり、これはメールで無料で送ってくれます。ちなみに船上では水とレモネードが飲み放題です。
参加者が多かったからか、フラレッスンは案内がありませんでした。
　船からおりたら港のトイレ（ひろくてきれいです）にいきますが、ここでササっと着替えることをお勧めします。
上記の流れになりますが、よく練られた構成で、イルカもウミガメもばっちり見えましたり、大満足のツアーでした。ぜひもう一度参加したいです。

There were plenty of slides, and I was able to enjoy them without waiting in line. Additionally, there was a wave pool and a lazy river where I could relax. I recommend going with family or friends.

スライダーがいっぱいあり、そこまで並ばずに乗れたので楽しめました。
また、波のプールや流れるプールもあり癒しの一時を過ごすことができました。
家族連れや友達みんなで行くことをおすすめします。

This time, we all went to Hawaii for my wedding, with friends and family joining us.
However, the sandbar did not appear...

We miscalculated the timing.

We went from morning until noon.
With this timing, we had to leave before the tide went out.
Since we had a little one with us, we planned to leave early, but it's better to stay until the afternoon!

When we stayed until the afternoon, we were able to see it!!

It's really beautiful when you can see it☆

今回は私の結婚式でみんなでハワイに行き、友達も私の家族もいてみんなで行きました。
しかし、サンドバーは現れず…

時間帯に失敗しました。

私たちが行ったのは朝からお昼まで。
この時間帯だと水が引ける前に帰ることになります。
チビがいたから早めに帰るプランにしましたが、昼過ぎまでいたほうがいいです！

昼過ぎまでいた時は見れました！！

見れるととても綺麗ですよ☆

A great activity - we were lucky enough to see a seal enjoying the waves amongst the surfers on our way out to the snorkelling site. Plenty of underwater action going on and lots of turtles to see too.

I was able to enjoy a relaxed hula show as well as a powerful performance that used fire. After the show, I had the opportunity to take photos with a muscular male dancer, which became a great memory when I looked back at the pictures later. I don't remember much about the food, but I don't think it was bad. Also, there were few Japanese spectators, and I shared a long table with people from Western countries. When I was seated, I received a friendly smile, so if you can speak English, you might enjoy chatting during the show.

ゆったりとしたフラ～火を使ったパワフルなショーまで堪能できました。
ショーの後に、日本人では考えられないほどマッチョな男性のダンサーと写真を撮ることもでき、後から写真を見返してもいい思い出になりました。
食事についての記憶はあまりないですが、まずくはなかったように思います。
また、日本人の観客は少なく、長テーブルに欧米の方との相席でした。
着席時にニコッと笑いかけてもらえたので、英会話ができる方ならショーを見ながら話したりして楽しめるかも知れません。

I was able to see a sea turtle while snorkeling. It is said that for every sea turtle you see, something happy happens. During the snorkeling, I was able to take photos with a waterproof camera, and there was a cheerful atmosphere throughout as participants and staff took pictures for each other.

シュノーケル中にウミガメが泳いでいるのを見ることができました。ウミガメが１匹見るごとに１つ幸せなことが起きるといわれているそうです。シュノーケル中に防水カメラで写真が撮ることができ、参加者同士やスタッフの方に写真を撮ってもらうなど、終始にこやかな雰囲気でした。

The weather was nice, and I was able to see the sea turtles and coral clearly. The local staff were friendly, making it a satisfying tour.

天気がよくウミガメも珊瑚もクリアに見ることができました。
現地スタッフもフレンドリーな対応で満足のツアーになりました。

The weather was absolutely perfect. I got to see sea turtles, and snorkeling was amazing. The hamburger was delicious too. They lend you snorkeling gear, but I should have brought my own! There were a lot of fish, but the water was a bit murky, so Okinawa might be clearer. However, the guide was really nice!

天気が最高によかった。ウミガメも見れたし、シュノーケルが最高。ご飯もハンバーガー美味しかった。シュノーケルは貸してもらえるけど自分の持っていけばよかった！魚もたくさんいたけど、海は少し濁ってたから、沖縄の方が綺麗かも。。だけど、ガイドさんも素敵なかんじだった！！

It was a very nice day, so it felt really good to go. The water was about knee-deep to waist-deep. I didn't expect much from the barbecue lunch, but it was surprisingly delicious, and I went back for seconds.

とても天気がいい日にいけたのでようでとても気持ちよかったです。
膝下の深さから、腰ぐらいの深さでした。
お昼のバーベキューランチも期待してなかったのですが、意外に美味しくておかわりをしました。

we found this luau great ,the view was amazing, the show wonderful ,shuttle bus staff fantastic our only problem was the food , we were the last table called up and some of the food had run out and also we didn't really like the food there just was not enough variety

Tony our bus driver was exceptional. He was informative of the Island. We were picked up at the Hiton Hawaiian and proceeded to Punch Bowl Cemetery. That was a beautiful resting place for the fallen. We then drove to Pearl Harbor and Tony walked in the Park with us, gave us are tickets and pointed out where we were to go and what time. Tony was very hands on with our group and very caring of our journey into Pearl Harbor.
After our visit to the Memorial of which I cried, actually it was very overwhelming to be there and fully felt a piece of history unfolding. Quite an experience, a must see if you go to Honolulu. We then had time to explore the gift shops and proceeded back to the bus, which Tony was waiting on us with mints and a hand towel to wash our hands. Tony is something else. We then started to our way back to the hotel drop off location.
Please don't use anyone but this group, the whole experience was OUTSTANDING.

Maholo,

My wife and I participated together. We joined without much expectation, but a humpback whale jumped right in front of us!! It was so exciting to see the tail slapping the surface of the water, and the dynamic jumps called breaching using its pectoral fins, just like we often see on TV!! How can you not be thrilled by this!!! The staff also said, "very very lucky!!" and were excited. It was a great tour.

妻と二人で参加しました。そんなに期待せずに参加しましたが、ザトウクジラが目の前でジャンプしました！！テレビでよく見る尾びれで海面をたたく、胸びれを使ってブリーチングと呼ばれるダイナミックなジャンプまで！！これが興奮せずに居られますか！！！スタッフさんも「very very lucky !!」と言って興奮してました。良いツアーでした。

It was a fantastic time, except for the cold water that came up to my waist during high tide! I was amazed by the beautiful sea, just like in the pictures!! A turtle even swam close to me (*^^)v The light meal was really delicious sandwiches, even better than they looked (sorry for the assumption) ★★★ I will definitely join again the next time I go to Hawaii!

満潮時間だったので腰まで浸かる水が冷たかったこと以外は最高の時間でした！
お写真通りの綺麗な海に感動！！
カメさんも近くまで泳いで来てくれました(*^^)v
軽食も見た目以上に（失礼）本当に美味しいサンドイッチでした★★★
次回ハワイに行くときも絶対に参加します！

Nice day, but a lot to see in a short time. People very friendly. The luau was nice, and the evening performance was awesome!!!

There was a host who provided explanations in English, and the show began, but it felt like only the host was speaking in English despite more than half of the participants being Japanese. It might just be my feeling since I can't speak English, but I wish they had prepared pamphlets or something. The location was also surrounded by buildings, and the atmosphere was not great, which was disappointing given my expectations.

司会者がいて、説明がはいり（英語）、ショーが始まるのですが、参加者の半数以上が日本人なのに、司会者のみが英語でしゃべっている感じでした。自分が英語ができないのでそう感じただけかもしれませんが、出来たらパンフレットとかも用意してくれていたらと思いました。
場所もビルに囲まれた中で雰囲気もイマイチで、期待していただけに残念でした。

It was a long day but the time flew by as our tour guide/driver kept us entertained the entire day. We will definitely recommend this tour to friends and family and we look forward to booking more tours the next time we're in Oahu!

I participated in Heaven's Sea with high expectations, and I was completely satisfied! I had researched the tide in advance, so I knew it would be high tide, and after landing on the sandbar, I didn't have to worry about the rising water level. More than that, we were blessed with great weather, and I could feel the blue of the sky and the blue of the sea all around me. The tour ended in the blink of an eye. Fun times always seem to fly by, right? (laughs) During the tour, I was also able to see a honu! I definitely want to go back to Heaven's Sea.

かなり期待をして参加した天国の海、もう大満足でした！潮位も予め調べて参加したので、満ち潮であることも調査済みでしたので、サンドバーに上陸後、水位が上がってきても気にすることはありませんでした。それよりも、天気に恵まれ、空の青、海の青を全身で感じることが出来、ツアーはあっという間に終わりました。楽しい時間はすぐに終わってしまいますね笑
ツアー中はホヌにも会うことが出来ました！天国の海、是非また行きたいです。

On the bus heading to the sandbar, a cheerful older man was talking non-stop in English, so it might be tough for those who are not good at English. Since the air conditioning was very strong, I think it's a good idea to bring something to wear over your clothes.
As for the sandbar... I had imagined it based on the photos on the website, but in reality, the water came up to about my waist. I guess it's my fault for not knowing that was a possibility.
The BBQ lunch was just a regular hamburger. It was quite ordinary.
I think I saw about two sea turtles?
For snorkeling, they took us to a place with coral and said, "Please feel free to swim." The weather was bad and it was very cold.
I was disappointed because I had high expectations. I felt it was a waste to spend a whole day like this. If the weather had been good, it might have been different.

サンドバーへ向かうバスの中は、陽気なおじさんがひたすら英語でしゃべっていたので、英語が苦手な方はつらいかも？クーラーガンガンなので、羽織るものを持っていくとよいと思います。
サンドバーは。。。ＨＰに掲載されている写真をイメージしていましたが、実際は腰の辺りまで海面がきていました。その可能性があること知らなかった自分が悪いですね。
ＢＢＱランチはただのハンバーガーです。至って普通です。
ウミガメは２頭ぐらい見えたかな？って感じです。
シュノーケリングも、サンゴのある所に連れて行ってくれて、「どうぞ自由に泳いでください」みたいな感じです。天気も悪く、とても寒かったです。
期待しすぎた分、がっかりしました。私は、これで一日がつぶれるのはもったいないと感じました。天気が良ければ違ったかもしれませんね。

Great crew as it was full service. Food and drinks were good and plenty to go around. Water was very clear. We saw a white tip shark, turtle, plenty of colorful fish and an amazing starfish which was like a spider. Ross was our personal Snubba coach and he was top professional. Yes we would do it again.
