Oahu
About 18 years ago, I did a photoshoot at a sandbar for work. At that time, the sandbar completely emerged as land, and I remember shooting there for about 2 to 3 hours. This time, I applied for my daughter (a high school freshman) to have that wonderful experience as well. However, the sandbar did not emerge above the water. According to the female guide, due to rising sea levels and the tides at that time, it seems that land formation has become rare recently. However, my daughter was satisfied as she discovered a sea turtle and enjoyed her first snorkeling experience. The woman who guided us and instructed us was very pleasant, and all the staff were cheerful people. I wouldn't recommend it for very young children, but I think it would be a good experience for middle school-aged kids.
18年ほど前に仕事でサンドバーで撮影をしました。そのときは、完全に砂浜が陸地になり、2時間~3時間はその陸地で撮影をした記憶があります。今回、娘(高1)にもその素晴らしい体験をさせようと思い申し込みました。しかし、サンドバーが、水上に出てくることはありませんでした。ガイドの女性によると、やはり地球の海面上昇や、そのときの潮の満干でほとんど最近は、陸地ができることはないそうです。しかし娘は、ウミガメを発見したり、初めてのシュノーケリングを楽しんだようで、満足しておりました。旅の案内やインストラクターをしてくれた女性の方は、大変感じがよく、スタッフもみんな愉快な人たちでした。あまり小さな子供たちにはお勧めしませんが、中学ぐらいの子供たちには良い経験になるかと思います。
The sandbar I was most looking forward to in Hawaii! I made a reservation for the day with the shallowest water during my 5-night, 7-day stay, but unfortunately, it rained. A few days ago, an acquaintance went and said it was really beautiful, so I was truly disappointed.
Since it was Saturday, there was a high school boy who spoke Japanese working part-time. The staff were neither particularly good nor bad, but the hot tea and sandwiches we had in the cold were delicious.
今回のハワイで1番楽しみにしてたサンドバー!5泊7日の中で1番水深が浅い日を選んで予約しましたが、残念ながらの雨でした。数日前に知人が行ったのですが、すごいキレイとのことだったので本当に残念。
土曜日だったので、高校生の日本語が話せるバイトの男の子がいました。スタッフは特別いいわけでも悪いわけでもありませんでしたが、寒い中で食べるホットティーとサンドウィッチはおいしかったです。
I would highly recommend the Navatek Dinner Cruise. My husband and I both chose a chicken entree and it was fabulous. The staff was friendly and fun. The entertainment was awesome. This was our second time on board and we will definitely do it again. Thanks Navatek!!
It was disappointing that the weather was cloudy, but there were Japanese staff members, and I was able to have fun. I want to try again and see a sunny sandbar!
お天気が曇りだったのが残念でしたが、日本人のスタッフの方もいて、楽しく遊ぶことができました。たまリベンジして、晴れたサンドバーを見たいです!
If you sit in the front, there are snorkeling sets and life jackets available, so many people come back to return wet items after use, and even if you put your belongings in the chair, seawater will splash and get them wet. Be sure to check the tide levels. When I was there, the shallow areas were about ankle-deep, and the sandy beach was not visible above ground. When we returned to the port, the afternoon group had arrived, but I think it had become normally deep by the time we left.
前方に座る場合は、シュノーケルセットやライフジャケットがあるので、使用後濡れたものを返却しにくる人多数で、椅子の中に荷物を入れていても、海水が飛んでくるので濡れます。潮の引き具合は必ず調査して下さい。私の時は浅い所がくるぶしくらい、砂浜は地上には現れていませんでした。港へ帰ると午後便の方々が来ていまさしたが、行く頃には普通に深くなっていたと思います。
I visited for a wedding and honeymoon trip.
**Exploring the Sandbar**
I checked the tide levels in Kaneohe Bay in advance and booked the "morning plan" for the second day of our itinerary. Since we participated at low tide, I was able to fully enjoy the strange sensation of standing in the middle of the ocean! It seems that only Captain Bruce can dock at the shallowest point. Just standing there and taking in the beautiful scenery around me was refreshing and enjoyable.
**Snorkeling Point**
It felt like everyone who wanted to snorkel lined up and swam together. We wanted to relax freely, so we borrowed a float and played instead of participating. It was quite cold after getting out of the water, so the warm soup was very appreciated.
**Light Snacks**
As soon as we got on the boat, we were served bread and drinks, and after arriving at the snorkeling point, light snacks were provided buffet-style. It was more substantial than I had imagined, so I wished I had gone easy on breakfast.
結婚式&ハネムーン旅行で訪れました。
【サンドバー散策】
事前にカネオヘ湾の潮位を調べてから、旅程2日目に『午前プラン』を予約しました。干潮時に参加できたので、海の真ん中に立っている不思議な感覚を存分に味わえました!キャプテン・ブルースさんしか停泊できない一番浅いポイントらしいです。その場に立って、周りの美しい景色を眺めているだけで清々しく、楽しかったです。
【シュノーケルポイント】
希望者全員で並んで泳いで行くかんじでした。私たちは自由にのんびりしたかったので、参加せず浮き輪を借りて遊んでいました。海から上がった後は結構寒かったので、温かいスープはとてもありがたかったです。
【軽食】
船に乗ってすぐパンと飲み物が、シュノーケルポイントに着いてからバイキング形式で軽食が出ました。想像以上に充実していたので、朝食を控えめにしておけばよかったなと思いました。
Aloha! Thank you for joining the Captain Bruce's Paradise of the Pacific tour the other day. And congratulations on your wedding! I'm really glad that it became one of the precious memories of your honeymoon. Please come back to Paradise of the Pacific again. We look forward to that day. Mahalo!
アロハ!先日はキャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーにご参加頂きましてありがとうございました。
そしてご結婚おめでとうございます。お二人のハネムーンの大切な想い出の一つとなれたようで本当に良かったです。
またぜひ天国の海に戻って来て下さいね。その日をお待ちしております。マハロ!
It was cloudy, so the sea was a bit murky, but I really enjoyed the sandbar! It was totally fine even for snorkeling beginners! I want to participate again, and I hope it will be sunny next time! If the tide isn't too high, I would like to walk on the island. However, seeing the sea turtles and manta rays was a great memory.
曇ってたから海も少し濁ってましたが、サンドバー満喫!シュノーケリング初心者でも全然おっけー!!でした。次も参加したいなと思うので、次こそ晴れてるといいな!潮も満ちすぎてなかったら、島を歩きたいです。でもウミガメとマンタがみれたのは、いい思い出です。
Last year, I attended the "VIP Dinner & Cocktail Show," and both the food and the show were excellent, so I was determined to end my last night in Oahu here. This year, I upgraded to the "Green Room & Dinner Show." Unexpectedly, I was able to participate through a monitor tour.
Before entering the venue, I handed over my voucher at the reception and received a neck strap pass. At that moment, I felt like Cinderella. A charming and elegant prince guided us to the Green Room. There was drink service, but there wasn't much time to relax and enjoy. On that day, there were three other participants besides us. We sat on the white sofa indoors and took some photos.
After that, we were guided through the stage setup, lighting, costumes, props, and dressing rooms with clear explanations. I felt like a star on the empty stage and took a snapshot there too! Thanks to the backstage tour, I found the show I usually watch casually even more interesting, with quick costume changes and surfboards crossing the stage.
The dinner featured tender steak and mashed potatoes, which were delicious. The tasty bread was available for seconds. The salmon and lobster had a slightly fishy taste. The dessert was quite sweet, but it paired perfectly with the coffee.
The show featured Elvis, Michael, and Little Richard. Since I had familiarized myself with the lyrics beforehand, I was even more moved than last time. The dancers, including those performing Tahitian hula, delivered sharp performances that transported me to a dream! Especially the fire dancer's powerful and beautiful dance is something words can't express. You must experience it for yourself.
昨年参加した≪VIPディナー&カクテルショー≫が食事、ショー共に内容がとても良かったので、オアフ最後の夜は絶対ここで締めようと思っていました。
今年は≪グリーンルーム&ディナーショー≫にグレードアップ。思いがけずモニターツアーで参加出来ました。
会場に入る前に受付でバウチャーを渡し、ネックストラップのパスを受け取ります。この瞬間からシンデレラに変身?上品で素敵な王子様がグリーンルームに案内してくれます。ドリンクのサービスが有りますが、のんびり楽しむ程の時間はありません。当日は私達の他に3人の参加が有りました。室内の白いソファに腰掛け写真を撮ってもらいました。
その後、舞台装置や照明、衣装、小道具、楽屋などを分かりやすい説明を交え案内してくれました。まだ誰もいない舞台でスターになった気分でここでもパチリ!スターの早変わりや舞台を横切るサーフボードなどバックステージツアーのおかげで普段何気なく見ているショーが一層、面白く感じました。
ディナーの柔らかいステーキとマッシュポテトが美味しい。これまた美味しいパンはおかわり
できます。サーモンとロブスターは少し生臭い気がしました。デザートはかなり甘いのですが
珈琲とベストマッチです。
エルビス・マイケル・リトルリチャード3人のショーでした。前もって代表的な歌詞の内容を把握して行ったので、前回以上に感激しました。
タヒチアンフラを含めダンサー達の切れの良いパフォーマンスにしばし夢の中!特にファイアーダンサーの力強く美しいダンスはとても口では表現できません。是非ご自身で感じてください。
Thank you very much for visiting us. We truly appreciate your wonderful comments. We are also very pleased. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you again when you come to Hawaii.
この度は、ご来場頂き、誠にありがとうございます。とても素敵なコメントをありがとうございました。私どもも、大変嬉しくおもっております。また、ハワイにお越しの際には、是非ご来場頂けます様、スタッフ一同心よりお待ち申しあげます。
This was my second time at the sandbar, and it felt like a heavenly beach with a white sandy path in the middle of the blue sea, with water depth up to my shins. I encountered sea turtles at the snorkeling spot, and above all, the hamburgers eaten on the boat after the activities in the sea were incredibly delicious! They are more memorable than any gourmet burger listed in guidebooks. I recommend checking the tide schedule before making a reservation.
2度目のサンドバーでしたが、青い海の真ん中に白い砂の道、水深はスネぐらいでまずまずの天国の海感でした。
シュノーケリングスポットでは海亀にも遭遇したし、なにより海でのアクティビティ後に船の上で食べるハンバーガーはなんて美味しいのでしょう! ガイドブックに載っているどのグルメバーガーより想い出に残ります。
潮の満ち引きを調べての申し込みをお勧めします。
Cracias por sus atenciones y amabilidad y de igual forma gracias por hacer de nuestra luna de miel algo inolvidable Y la guía que nos toco sabia mucho del tema y nos atendió excelente
Saw many turtles of all sizes. There were 101 people registered for this trip when I went and 2 boats. Even though there were 101 people, the view + experience overlapped everything.
Negative part: Bathroom was very unclean so I did not use the restroom at all during the trip.
Tip: Bring hand sanitizer since it is 50 people to a boat with 1 bathroom that is questionable..
Overall: A must see.
The water level was high, but the weather was nice, the sea was beautiful, and I really enjoyed my first snorkeling experience. After coming out of the sea, they had prepared warm drinks, which was a nice touch for my chilled body. Also, the hamburgers eaten on the water were exceptional, and I definitely want to join again when I go to Hawaii. I hope to see even more beautiful scenery next time! ^^
水面は高かったけど、天気もよく、海もきれいで、初シュノーケリングもとても楽しめました。
海からあがったら温かい飲み物を準備してくれていて、冷えた体にはうれしかったです。
また、海の上で食べるハンバーガーは格別でハワイに行く際にはぜひまた参加したいです。
そのときはもっときれいな景色が見れるといいな^^
If you're going to Hawaii, you definitely want to see the emerald-colored sea! I joined four friends to experience this. As expected in Hawaii, not only did we see the emerald color, but we also enjoyed various shades of blue in the ocean, which was very satisfying. Although I couldn't swim with the sea turtles as I had hoped, I did get to meet some gracefully swimming sea turtles. We had time to snorkel and had fun swimming with various fish besides the sea turtles. The meal was delicious, especially the hamburgers that we made ourselves with our favorite ingredients, and there were also fruits available. If I have the chance to go to Hawaii again, I would love to spend some relaxing time at the sandbar.
ハワイに行くなら、エメラルド色の海が見たい!そこで遊びたい!と4人の友だちと参加しました。さすがにハワイです。エメラルド色だけでなく、いろいろと違った色の”青い海”を見ることができ、大満足です。期待していた、ウミガメと一緒に泳ぐことはできませんでしたが、悠々と泳いできいるウミガメに会うことはできました。シュノーケルをして遊ぶ時間があり、ウミガメ以外の魚たちとは一緒に泳ぐことができ、楽しかったです。食事は、自分で好きな食材をはさんで作るハンバーガーは美味しかったし、フルーツもありました。また、ハワイに行く機会があれば、是非、サンドバーでゆっくり過ごしたいです。
I got bored during the show.
There wasn't much to eat. If you miss the first round, there's nothing left.
The seating is arranged in two rows in a U-shape with the stage in the center. The front row seems to be reserved for guests, so you can't sit there even if you arrive early.
You have to wait until the people in the front row finish before you can go to the buffet.
It's expensive for what you get, but since it's the Hilton, I suppose that's to be expected.
It became a memorable family trip.
ショーは途中で飽きちゃいました。
食事は食べるのもがあまりない。最初に取り損ねるともうありません。
席は2列でコの字でステージが中央にある。前列は宿泊者専用なのか早くても座れません。
バイキングの取りに行く順番も前列の席の人が終わってからじゃないといけません。
値段の割には高いですがヒルトンなので仕方が無いと思います。
家族旅行の記念にはなりました。
I made a reservation because I wanted to see hula (since it feels like Hawaii). The food was quite delicious, and the atmosphere was nice. Additionally, it was fun to see various Polynesian dances, not just hula. The Tahitian performance was the most exciting, and my dad was invited on stage to dance, which made for a fun experience. Since we chose the standard seating, the stage was a bit far, but they danced facing different directions, so it was enjoyable even from the side. It was a bit pricey, but I think it was worth the cost.
フラが見たくて(ハワイっぽいから)予約しました。食事も結構美味しかったし、雰囲気も良かった。それに、フラだけではなくポリネシアンのいろいろなダンスが見られて楽しかった。タヒチは一番盛り上がり、うちのパパは誘われてステージにあがって踊らされ、楽しく過ごせた。スタンダードにしたのでステージは少し遠かったけど、いろいろな方向を向いてダンスしてくれていたので正面じゃなくても楽しめる内容だった。少し割高だけど、値段だけのことはあると思いました。
Cracias por sus atenciones y amabilidad y de igual forma gracias por hacer de nuestra luna de miel algo inolvidable El servicio y la comida excelentes y no se diga los tragos recomendado 100%
I saw it in a guidebook and thought, "What is this? It's beautiful! Is there really a place like this?" I was so excited to join the tour! The guide was fluent in Japanese, funny, and I was completely satisfied!
Finally, we arrived at the sandbar! It was just too beautiful! I couldn't help but shout, "It's so pretty!"
If I go to Hawaii again, I will definitely visit again!
ガイドブックでみて、なにこれー、綺麗、ほんとにこんなとこがあるのー?見てみたい!!と思い、わくわくどきどきでツアーに参加♩
ガイドさんは日本語ペラペラだし面白いし大満足!
いざ、サンドバー!ほんと綺麗すぎる!絶対さけんでしまう、きれーって笑
ハワイ行ったら絶対また行く!
The park is worth to visit, food just ok but the show at night is so good and make the day worth it.
It was pouring rain when Patrick picked us up at the hotel. he was able to shuffle some of the tour around and quite literally worked magic so that when we got to the Arizona the sun came out. He was very knowledgeable and his humor made a very somber trip fun and interesting. Would definitely take another tour with him. the bus was Royal Star if that helps others.
Overall we had a good time at the Luau. I felt the food was pretty good with the exception of the fish not being cooked enough but the wife felt the food was lacking a fair bit. The show was very enjoyable and entertaining. Met some great folks at the table with us and overall really enjoyed the show.
This is a round-trip bus + ticket only usage. (Meals were purchased separately on-site as needed.)
My child really likes this place, so we decided to come again on this trip. The slides and the tornado ride are still so much fun! Our whole family had a great time.
The air conditioning on the bus can be quite strong, and when it gets a bit cloudy at the location, the wind can feel cold, so it's better to bring a jacket or something.
The rental locker size is just about big enough for one large locker for three family members, but if you get creative, it might work. Since you'll need to store changes of clothes and footwear, having two larger lockers would be safer.
The food isn't anything special, but it's a bit pricey... probably tourist area prices.
※往復バス+チケットのみでの利用です。
(食事は、現地で必要分別途購入しました)
子どもがここを気に入っているので、今回の旅行でも来てみました。
スライダーも、トルネードも、やっぱり楽しい!
家族全員で十分楽しめました。
バスの中のエアコンは結構きついのと、現地でちょっと曇ったりす
ると風が冷たく感じてくる時もあるので、上着など持っていった方
が良いです。
レンタルロッカーは、家族3人なら大き目サイズ1つに、工夫すれ
ば入るかなという大きさ。着替えなどの他に、履物とかも入れるの
で、大き目サイズ2つが無難といえば無難。
食事は、何かすごいという訳ではないですが、少々高め。。観光地
価格なんでしょうね。
Fabulous trip. Professional staff. Great snorkels and goggles. Safe. Loads of turtles to see. Really special way to see Waikiki and turtle canyon
I was able to swim with sea turtles by chance and see coral fish. The sea was also clear and very beautiful! The barbecue hamburgers were also very delicious! Thank you very much! (^ ^)
ウミガメと偶然にも泳げたり、珊瑚の魚をみたり
海も透明でとっても綺麗でした!バーベキューのハンバーガーもとても美味しいかったです!
ありがとうございました(^ ^)
I was really looking forward to my first trip to Hawaii. Even for those who can't swim, it was enjoyable and incredibly beautiful. I believe this is a tour that everyone should participate in at least once. The staff were very accommodating, and it truly became a wonderful memory.
初めてのハワイで、1番楽しみにしておりました。
泳げない人でも楽しめ、とにかく綺麗でした。絶対に1度は参加するべきツアーだと思います。
スタッフの方の対応もよく、本当によい思い出になりました。
Highly recommend doing this!! A very very amazing and memorable experience
All staff were professional and helpful and had a great time. The only thing was one of the gals helping had her whole but showing and thought that was unprofessional. I don't mind some butt showing but the whole thing?
we spend really good time and experienced very lucky things. Thank you for your hospitality and great time!!!
Visiting with children. First of all, the number of dynamic attractions that you wouldn't find in Japan! Children over about 130 cm can enjoy all the attractions. We were a bit late because the highway exit gets congested around opening time. If you're going by rental car, I think it's better to arrive early. I was very satisfied with the great tickets I bought from this site!
子連れでの訪問。まず日本では考えられないダイナミックなアトラクションの数々!
約130CM以上のお子さんならすべてのアトラクションで遊べます。
OPEN時間に合わせて高速出口が渋滞するため私たちは少々出遅れました。レンタカーで行く場合、早めの到着がベターだと思います。
こちらのサイトでお得なチケットを変えて大満足でした!
Wonderful food, entertainment. Loved the dancing afterwards. Friendly crew, my daughter said our waiter Chad was a 'hottie'.
The sandbar had water up to my waist due to the rising tide, but it felt great to float around with a borrowed life jacket. When I asked for photos, they took a variety of shots, and I was very satisfied. During snorkeling, I encountered many fish and even a sea turtle. The hamburger was delicious, and the guide was kind, so I’m glad I participated.
サンドバーは潮が上がっていて腰位まで水がありましたが、ライフジャケットを借りてプカプカ浮いているととても気持ちが良かったです。
写真をお願いすると色々な構図で撮ってもらえて大満足。
シュノーケリングでは沢山の魚とウミガメにも会えました。
ハンバーガーも美味しかったしガイドの方も親切だったので参加して良かったです。
