I was really satisfied to be able to snorkel in the beautiful angelic sea. I was also very pleased with the staff's attention to Japanese support and the lunch! It was convenient that they picked me up at the hotel too.

ほんとに綺麗な天使の海でシュノーケルができて大満足でした。日本語対応にもスタッフさんの気配りにもランチにも大満足！
ホテルまで迎えに来てくれたのも楽チンでした。

We participated as a couple. The transportation was provided by two large tour buses, mostly filled with Japanese people. The staff for the transportation were older Japanese descendants, and they were kind enough to take photos for us at the entrance gate.

Inside, the main attractions were water slides, but there were also activities like a rubber boat competition in a skateboarding pipe and a slide that resembled a mattress, which was tunnel-shaped. You wouldn't realize where you were going until you ended up splashed with water, making it a lot of fun.

For the boat activities, there are weight restrictions, and some cannot be ridden alone, but since there were many Japanese people, you can share rides. The instructions were provided in Japanese, and announcements were also made, so it was reassuring. What impressed me the most was the bodyboarding experience in the wave pool, where the instructor was earnestly helping each child to ride the waves one-on-one. Even though we don't have children, it was heartwarming to watch them celebrate when they succeeded.

It seems that new attractions will be available after May, so those planning to go might have an even more enjoyable experience. However, the food cannot be described as delicious. There are plans that include BBQ, but we chose to buy food inside. Since outside food is not allowed, we had to settle for what was sold inside, which was simply bad and overpriced. Just think of it as something to fill your stomach.

That said, before we knew it, it was time to head back. It’s a facility where you can have a full day of fun.

夫婦二人で参加しました。
送迎は大きな観光バスで2台分で日本人がほとんどでした。送迎の方は年配の日系の方ですが、親切で入場ゲートでの記念撮影など写真を撮ってくれたりしていただきました。
中はスライダー系のものがメインですが、スケボーのパイプ競技をゴムボートでやるものや
マットレス見たいなものを敷いて滑るスライダーはトンネル状になっていて自分が何処に行くにか？気がついたら水しぶきと共に終わってたという感じで楽しいです。
ボート系の物は体重制限など、一人で乗れない物もありますが、そこは日本人も多いので相乗り出来ます。説明も日本語書き且つ、放送も流れていますから安心です。何より感心したのは
波の出るプールでボディボードの体験講習をやっていたのですが、インストラクターさんが一生懸命に小さい児に上手く波に乗らせてあげようと一人、一人にマンツーマンでやっており
上手く乗れたら一緒になって喜んでいたのには、うちには子供はいませんが、ほのぼのと見ていられました。
この5月以降は新しいアトラクションも出来るそうですので、これから行かれる方はもっと楽しい経験が出来るかも？
ただ、食事はお世辞にも美味しいとは言えないです。BBQなどが付いたプランもある様ですが、
私達は中で買う形を選びました。持ち込み不可ですから、必然的に中で売ってる物になるにですが、とにかく不味い!うえに高いです。お腹に入れるだけと思って下さい。
とは言え、あっという間に帰りの時間になりました。一日十分に楽しめる施設です。

Whale watching offers the chance to see various sights depending on your luck. Depending on the difficulty, you may witness spouts, splashes from the tail, and back jumps, allowing you to test your fortune. If you happen to miss all of these, don't worry, as a re-boarding is guaranteed, so feel free to head out with peace of mind.

ホエールウォッチングは、あなたの運次第で次の光景を見ることができます。難易度に応じて、潮吹き→尾びれのしぶき→背面ジャンプと続き、あなたの運を試すことができます。万が一、このどれも見れないときは再乗船が保障されているので安心してお出かけ下さい。

I went to Wet'n'Wild on a Saturday during Golden Week. It's about the same scale as Nagashima Spa Land in Mie. The kids' pool had slides and was quite enjoyable, but it seemed like many of the other slides were closed for use. The highlight was the wave pool. Unlike Japanese pools, there wasn't much consideration for safety, and the strong waves could be quite overwhelming for young children. Since they were wearing life jackets, I wasn't too worried, but the kids were enjoying themselves according to their ages.

I want to say I was completely satisfied, but if I had to point out something, it would be that there were quite a few slides under construction, so I'll deduct one point for that. Overall, I felt very satisfied!

ゴールデンウィークの土曜日にウェット&ワイルドに行きました。三重のナガシマスパーランドと規模的には同じくらいかな。子供プールはスライダーもあり、かなり楽しめていましたが、その他のスライダーは、結構使用禁止が多かったように思います。圧巻は波のプール。日本のプールのような気遣いは無く、めちゃめちゃ強い波が幼児を襲います。ライフジャケット着用だったので、心配はしてませんでしたが、子供たちは年齢の応じて、相応の楽しみ方をしていました。
大満足！と言いたいところですが、敢えていうなら、工事中のスライダーが多かったことで、減点1ですかね。気持ちは大満足でした。

We were picked up a little late at 7:30 AM. It was a large bus like a sightseeing bus, fully packed with 40 people. After about an hour on the bus, we arrived at the harbor. We split into two boats for boarding, and there were restrooms on the boats.

As we progressed, we enjoyed the view of the bay, looking out at China Man's Hat and a U.S. military base. At one point, when I turned to listen to the guide, I spotted a turtle poking its head out of the water. We saw two turtles in total.

We then headed straight to the sandbar. On the day of our visit, low tide was at 7 AM, and we arrived around 9 AM, so the water level was about 15 cm, and we couldn't see the sandbar like you do in commercials. However, there were shallow areas in the water, so we had some time for photos.

After returning to the boat, we put on life jackets and snorkels for snorkeling time. We swam back and forth about 25 meters along the coral reef. It was a bit difficult to swim because there were so many people. There were plenty of fish, and I wished I could have stayed underwater a little longer.

There was no place to change, so I just put on a jacket and returned to the bus. The bus was cold, so warm clothing was necessary.

朝07時30分少し遅れてピックアップ。観光バスのような大型バス。40人満席。
1時間ほどバスにのり、ハーバー着。船2隻にわかれて乗船。船にはトイレあり。
チャイナマンズハットや米軍基地を見渡す湾をながめながら進む。
途中、ガイドさんの声のほうをみるとカメが海面から顔をだしていた。
2頭見られた。
そのままサンドバーへ。
私たちの訪れた日は、干潮時刻が7時、到着が9時頃だったため、潮位が15cmくらいあり、CMで見るような砂洲は見られず…
でも海の中に浅瀬が浮かんでいたので、写真タイム。
船に戻り救命胴衣とシュノーケルをつけ、シュノーケルタイム。
サンゴ礁に沿って皆で25mほどを往復。人数多いので、やや泳ぎにくい。
魚いっぱいいたのでもう少し潜ってたかった…
着替える場所ないので、そのまま上着羽織ってバスで帰着。
バスは寒いので、防寒必要。

We participated as a three-generation family. The sea was emerald green and truly beautiful. We saw turtles while on the boat and went snorkeling near the coral reefs, which provided us with valuable experiences that we definitely couldn't have had without joining the tour. Also, the hamburgers for lunch were incredibly delicious! I'm really glad we participated. I highly recommend it.

三世代の家族で参加しました。海はエメラルド色で本当にキレイでした。船に乗って亀を見たり、サンゴ礁の近くでのシュノーケリングをしたり、ツアーに参加しないと絶対に体験できない貴重な体験ができました。また、昼食のハンバーガーがめちゃウマでした！参加して本当に良かったです。めっちゃおすすめです。

The ship was large, and I was worried about the swaying, but it wasn't too bad. They announced the direction where the whales were, so I was able to see them well. However, it seems that due to wildlife protection, we couldn't get too close, so I couldn't really grasp the size of the whales. At first, I even thought they might be dolphins.

船も大きく心配していた揺れもあまりありませんでした。
鯨がいる方向をアナウンスしてもらえるのでよく見ることが出来ました。ただ、野生生物の保護上あまり近くに寄ることは出来ないようで実際のところ鯨の大きさを実感することは出来ませんでした。イルカかなと最初は思ったほどです。

What an amazing time at Polynesian Cultural Center. Everyone was so nice. All the shows were top notch and very entertaining. The food at the luau was very good despite reading prior reviews, we thought it was terrific. The "Ha breath of life" show was very entertaining and had us on the edge of our seats. Highly recommend to anyone who hasn't seen the show. The dancers and story tellers are so talented. A definite MUST see on your trip to Oahu. Kudos to everyone at the center especially the dancers and entertainers

Great Service. Drivers are friendly. Customer service center response quickly and patiently

The sandbar was very beautiful. It was fun to play beach volleyball in the ocean. I was impressed to see fish and turtles while snorkeling. There was a breeze above the sea, and it got cold after swimming, so I think it's a good idea to bring a jacket and a change of clothes. The freshly made hamburger for lunch was delicious.

サンドバー、とてもきれいでした。ビーチバレーが海の中でできて、楽しかったです。
シュノーケルで、魚と亀が見られて感動しました。海の上は風があり、泳いだ後は寒いので、上着、着替えを持参して行ったらいいと思います。
お昼の出来立てハンバーガー、美味しかったです。

This tour was fantastic. Our tour guide Jenner was an on board comedian who entertained us throughout the trip. The beach volleyball, practice snorkling, bbq lunch, beer, hot chocolate, wonderful staff and turtle watching was all incredible. We also got taken to a beautiful reef full of coral and coloured fish. Highly reccommended to anyone from non swimmers to couples to families with young children. Will definitely come here again.

It was my first trip to Hawaii, and I wanted to go to the sandbar, so I thought about booking an option with HIS, but it was fully booked, so I joined a tour with VELTRA. I was worried about the weather, but the sun came out halfway through, and I was able to see the most beautiful sandbar. I recommend bringing a waterproof camera and a waterproof camera case. Also, it gets cold after you go into the water, so I suggest bringing a thick hoodie or a windbreaker. The hamburger I had on the boat was delicious, and the staff were bright and friendly, so I was very satisfied. I was also able to see sea turtles and had the valuable experience of snorkeling for the first time. If the weather is good, I think anyone would be satisfied.

初めてのハワイ旅行でしたので、サンドバーに行きたくてＨＩＳのオプションを予約しようと思いましたが、予約が満席でしたのでＶＥＬＴＲＡさんのツアーに参加しました。
天気が心配でしたが、途中から太陽がでて最高に綺麗なサンドバーを見ることができました。
防水カメラや、防水カメラケースを持参することをお勧めします。
また、海に入った後寒くなるので、厚手のパーカーや、ウインドブレーカーを持参することを
オススメします。
船内で食べたハンバーガーもおいしかったですし、スタッフの皆さんも明るくフレンドリーでしたので、大満足です。
ウミガメも見ることができ、また初めてのシュノーケリングもでき貴重な体験ができました。
天気さえよければ、どなたでも満足すると思います。

I love the ocean. I love the sandbar.
Surrounded by a 360-degree emerald green sea under the blue sky, it truly felt like paradise. This is an activity you should definitely participate in when you go to Hawaii! The half-day went by in a flash, and I didn't want to leave. I was also moved when the turtles came right up close. I want to join again!

海大好き。サンドバー大好き。
青い空に360度エメラルドグリーンの海に囲まれたそこはまさに天国。ハワイに行ったら参加すべきアクティビティーです！半日があっという間で帰りたくなかったー。亀もすぐそこまで来て感動しました。また参加したいと思います。

I went to the heavenly sea in early April. The guide's explanations were thorough, and it was a very enjoyable time. From the boat, I could see what looked like a shell, and during snorkeling, a sea turtle came close to me. If you go to Hawaii, it's definitely worth experiencing. ✨

4月上旬に天国の海に行きました。
ガイドさんの説明も丁寧でとても楽しいひとときでした。
船からは甲羅らしき物が見えて
シュノーケリングでは海亀ちゃんが寄って来てくれました。
ハワイに行ったら絶対に体験する価値があります。✨

The organization of customer entry is inadequate. If we don't assign guides and make announcements in Japanese, attendees will wander around with their drinks, going back and forth multiple times before entering the venue. By the time they get in, they've already finished their drinks while waiting in line, making the drinks unnecessary.

As for the content of the performance, I would rate it four stars.

お客様の入場整理がだめです。案内人を配置する、日本語でアナウンスするなどしなければ会場に入るまでにドリンクを持ってあっちうろうろ、こっちうろうろと何回うろうろさせられたか、ドリンクは入場まで並んでいる時間で飲んでしまい、ドリンクは不要ですね。
本番の中身は、星４つですかね。

It's my 3rd time with Star of Honolulu and they never fail to amaze me!
I was greeted with a beautiful smile by Kathleen at the ticket office. She was very nice, friendly, and it seems like she was enjoying her job. Before we boarded, the dancers are always very entertaining, a unique way to welcome their guests (yes, I've been to other dinner cruises and only Star of Honolulu has this great idea).
At the boat, here comes the cheerful and very energetic Freddie, who took us to our table. He didn't realize there were eight (8) of us but he was able to accommodate us right away having our own table by the window! He is the Assistant Floor Manager and I was really impressed with his friendliness and bright personality, he is funny too! The couples that we were with are visitors from Canada, celebrating their Silver Wedding Anniversary. I forgot to mention this special occasion when I made the booking so I told Freddie if there’s a way he can announce it after dinner. Knowing how busy they were, I never expected it to happen but I was extremely happy and grateful that he didn't forget. After the Polynesian entertainment, he immediately pulled my couple family towards the stage to make their dance. All the other couples, honeymooners, anniversary celebrants, followed. It was an honor!! Thank you so much Freddie for that, it was a memory of a lifetime for my family.
I would also like to give credit to Jay, who was our server that night, in fact all the crew members because they know how to take care of their guests, they're fast and attentive! The One Star package is not bad at all, I actually like this better than the Three Star believe it or not and IT'S ALL YOU CAN EAT CRAB LEGS!! Yummy! The steak was delicious also, so tender and juicy!
Will definitely cruise with Star of Honolu again and again! True "Aloha" spirit..good impression for those visiting the islands for the first time...greatly satisfied with the services they offer. Thumbs up SOH!!

I have gone many times with family and friends so they can enjoy as I did my first time.mmalways great day this time also, as Iwe had private tour guide which was amazing. Reason for one star down is that I paid for mini bus and was transported in large coach which less personal. I admit we had a great driver. Funny informable about trip and culture center. I did pay extra for mini so think I deserve refund for that upgrade.

I have done dinner cruise before in Honolulu many times. This time was the best ever experience. From time arrived at dock until returned to hotel was amazing . Everyone was friendly, food good, service amazing.

This time, I participated in the early morning plan. Unfortunately, the weather was cloudy. However, thanks to the sun that occasionally peeked out, I was able to see the beautiful sea. I also got to see a sea turtle, and the staff were cheerful and great. However, since there is always a time limit, I would like to choose a plan that allows for a bit more relaxation next time.

今回は早朝プランで参加しました。天気はあいにくの曇天。でも時折見せる太陽のおかげで綺麗な海を見ることができました。ウミガメを見ることも出来て、またスタッフさんも明るく良かったです。ただどうしても時間に限りがあるので、次回はもう少しゆっくりできるプランにしたいと思います。

At the sandbar, the seawater level was up to my calves, which was not what I expected at all. However, the fun we had playing a sort of beach volleyball there has become a wonderful memory. The instructors did a great job of inviting my husband and me, who were having a hard time blending in with the team. At first, I was embarrassed, but gradually my husband and I found ourselves mingling and having a great time with the younger crowd. Thank you very much.

サンドバーでは、少し海水面が、ふくらはぎまであり、決して期待通りではなかったのですが、そこでビーチバレーもどきをした時の楽しさが良き思い出に成っています。あの時なかなかチームに溶け込めずにいた私と夫をインストラクターの人たちがうまく誘ってくださり、初めは恥かしかったのですが、だんだん私も夫も若い人に混ざっていつのまにか騒いでいました。有難うございました。

The weather was nice, and I was worried about the water level for the sound bar, but I was amazed to find it was about ankle-deep. I took a lot of photos. For lunch, we had hamburgers on the boat, and they were delicious! The Japanese female guide was very interesting and a great person, which made the experience even more enjoyable. On the way to the snorkeling point, we were thrilled to see sea turtles and manta rays. There were plenty of fish while snorkeling, and I had a lot of fun. I highly recommend this tour. I would love to go again when I visit Hawaii.

天気も良く、サウンドバーになるか心配していましたが、足首上くらいの水位で、感動しました。
たくさん写真もとりました。
昼は船の上でハンバガー!(^^)!おいしかったです。
日本人のお姉さんガイドもとても面白く良い人でとても楽しめました。
船でシュノーケリングポイントに行く途中にはウミガメ・マンタが見れて感動★
シュノーケリングでも魚がたくさんいて、楽しめました。
このツアーは大変おすすめです。
またハワイに行ったら行きたいと思います。

The weather was clear and perfect! I was able to see sea turtles, and the snorkeling was so beautiful that I was amazed! The staff were all very kind, and I really had a great time! I will definitely go again!

天気も晴れていて最高でした！
ウミガメも観れたし、なんといってもシュノーケルが綺麗すぎてびっくり！
スタッフさんもみんな優しくて、ほんとに楽しかった！
また行きます！

The show featured impersonations of Michael Jackson, Lady Gaga, and Elvis Presley, along with Polynesian dance and a fire show, making for a packed experience. The impersonations were surprisingly high quality and truly impressive!

In particular, Michael's dance was captivating, and it was worth coming just to see that! Presley even came down to the audience, showing great spirit of service! Gaga's acoustic performance was also great. After the show, they took photos with us in pairs and offered handshakes and autographs. It was a really fun show, and I would love to see it again.

I signed up for the cocktail show, but I had no trouble seeing the stage from the second floor. Next time, I want to participate in the dinner show as well.

マイケル・ジャクソン、レディ・ガガ、エルビス・プレスリーのモノマネショーに、ポリネシアンダンス、ファイヤーショーと盛りだくさんの内容でした。モノマネも想像以上にクオリティが高く、本格派で圧巻でした！

特にマイケルのダンスは見応えがあり、これだけでも観に来る価値がありました！プレスリーも客席まで来てくれたり、サービス精神満載！ガガの引き語りも良かったです。ショー終了後はそれぞれ2ショットでの写真撮影にも応じてくれ、握手にサインも。とっても楽しいショーでまた観に来たいです。

カクテルショーで申し込みましたが、二階席からでも問題なくステージを見渡せました。次回はディナーショーにも参加したいです。

I wanted to do something special for my daughter and friend and thought a dinner cruise would be wonderful. I went the extra mile and extra money to upgrade to a window seat . I did the reservation almost three to four weeks in advance Upon boarding we were seated next to the wall. The third window seat was not a window seat but just behind the window seat. If I leaned up and out I could see.
When I asked to be moved I asked the manager if I could be seated next to the window she stated they were full and she offered a bottle of wine, as I don't drink I asked her to treat me like she would treat her mother, and that is when she told me her mother was nice, implying I wasn't. I had thought I had been nice up to that point I had just wanted to see as that is what I had paid for this time(I have been on this tour before and sat in the middle ) They did offer us an upgrade and a nice private table, meaning quiet, back near the door as to not see the show. The upgraded meal was delicious and as we had all lived in Oahu the show was not really missed. I am not sure I would recommend this tour unless you upgraded to the dinner and not the buffet. I would recommend a maximum of two for the window seating and make sure you state near the wall does not count. Other than the manager's attitude which I allowed to bother me, the servers were efficient, courteous and friendly.

# couple booked but we ended up going as 2 1/2 couple3s as one was sick. Great atmosphere interaction was supurb from the multi national public all guided by a great host. Buffet dinner was excellent and then the show topped it off for a great evening awesome value for money here.

I had high expectations since it was ranked number one, but when I actually went, it felt like just a regular beautiful beach without any sandy areas. It didn't wow me at all, and there was hardly any explanation, making it feel like a really long time. I think it was the biggest disappointment of my week-long trip. It felt like a waste of time.

ここでランキング１位になっていたので、すごく期待していったけど実際に行ってみると
砂浜もなくて普通のきれいな海、という感じでした。
うわーって全然ならなくて、説明とかもほとんどなく、すごく時間が長く感じた。
この１週間の旅行で１番の失敗だったと思う。時間を無駄にした感じだった。

The sea of heaven itself is undoubtedly wonderful, so I'll skip that part.
■BBQ Lunch → It was a freshly grilled hamburger! It was quite filling and I was satisfied! It was delicious.
■Scuba Diving → It was my first experience! I could stay underwater for a long time, and it was a lot of fun!
■Staff → Everyone was friendly! They even sang for us!
■Bus → It might be a bit cold?
Overall, I was very satisfied! I want to go again! ☆

天国の海自体は素晴らしいことは間違いないので省いて、、
■BBQランチ→その場で焼いたハンバーガーでした！結構なボリュームで満足でした！おいしかったです
■スキューバ→初めての体験！長い間潜ってられるのでとても楽しかったです！
■スタッフ→気さくな人ばかりでした！歌も歌ってくれます！
■バス→若干寒いかも？
総合的にとっても満足でした！また行きたいなぁ☆

The activity description mentions a BBQ lunch, but there was no BBQ lunch provided; only some simple snacks were served... Other than that, I was mostly satisfied.

アクティビティ名にはBBQランチ付とありますが、BBQランチはなく、簡単なスナックが出ただけでした。。。それ以外は、ほぼ満足です。

Great driver and very knowledgeable. Helpful with helping everyone with their gear

The day of participation was quite sunny, and since there were no other Japanese participants, I really felt like I was abroad, which made it so much fun. The juice I drank on the boat was exceptional! I was also able to see turtles swimming in the sea, which became a wonderful memory.♪

参加日はかなりの晴天で、また他の参加者に日本人がいなかったため、これぞ外国！という気分を味わえてとっても楽しかったです。
船の上で飲むジュースはまた格別でした！
海で泳ぐ亀も見ることができ、とってもよい思い出になりました♪
