The sea was beautiful, anyway!
I saw a sea turtle from a distance.
It was my first time snorkeling, and I enjoyed seeing the coral too!
It was great that I could first challenge myself in the shallow waters!
The staff were so cheerful! It was reassuring that the Japanese staff provided clear explanations.
The handmade hamburger we had on the boat was delicious!
The freshly grilled patty was juicy!

とにかく海が綺麗でした！
遠目でしたが、海ガメも見れました。
初めてのシュノーケルでしたが、珊瑚も見れて楽しめました(*^^*)
浅瀬でまずチャレンジできたのがよかった！
スタッフの方がとにかく陽気！日本人のスタッフがきちんと説明してくれて安心でした。
船で食べた手作りハンバーガーが美味しかったです！
焼きたてのパテがジューシーでした！

Nice bay and nice service for a fair preis. Thank you

Amazing time on 6/30/14! My first time being in the middle of the ocean and snorkeling...funny and entertaining crew and still made me feel safe...thank you!

It was a bit cold since it was the sea in January, but I got to see a sea turtle, and the location was amazing!

The barbecue lunch was delicious, and I was very satisfied!

1月の海だったので少し寒かったのですが、
ウミガメにも会えたし最高のロケーションでした♪

バーベキューのお昼ご飯も美味しかったし大満足でした(^_-)-☆

Wow, what a wonderful crew, boat and view.
These guys are serious about safety in a humorous way. The crew was attentive and hard working while making the experience fun for all.
We saw spinner dolphins. Then moved on to snorkeling with fish and turtles. The fins, snorkels and masks were great. They had sizes to fit everyone. Lunch and mai-tai's were wonderful as well. We were additionally impressed that they cared about the ocean environment.
Highly recommend these guys! Thanks for the great memories!

My boyfriend and i really had fun snorkeling thou it's our first time doing it don't even know how to swim still we loved it..Staffs did a well done execellent job..We got to see lovely sea turtles & snorkel in d' ocean by d' reef (seen a lot of fishes) & a panoramic amazingly beautiful view of d' island..will definitely recommend this activities for everyone whose visiting Oahu..Enjoy!

The Polynesian tour was great. This was our 2nd time going, but our grandson's first. He had a great time. We also upgrade with tour and our guide was fabulous,he knew his history of the islands. The luau and the food was good, we didn't try any poa. The students there serving were very helpful and good service. The best of all was the night show, loved it. Bus was on time. Our tour guide made it interesting on our way to the Polynesian Cultural center. Great tour to take. Though it was a long day, it's worth it.

I signed up for a tour that included pick-up, free drinks, and meals. It was smaller in scale than I expected. After going through everything once, I felt satisfied enough. However, I didn't have to wait long, and I was happy with the price. I was wondering when I would receive the souvenir cup that was supposed to be included in the tour, but in the end, I didn't receive anything. The driver on the way back was a foreigner who only spoke English, and I didn't have the chance to ask anything before being quickly dropped off at my destination. I thought any item would be a nice memento, so I was looking forward to it, but it was very disappointing. The fact that it was included in the fee but not given to us is quite disappointing.

送迎とフリードリンクと食事付きのツアーで申込みました。思っていたよりも規模が小さかったです。一通り乗ればもういいかなって、、。でも、それほど待つこともなく価格的にも満足でした。ツアーに含まれているはずの、お土産のカップはいつ貰えるのかと思っていたら、結局何ももらえず、帰りの運転手も英語オンリーみたいな外人で、聞くタイミングも無く目的地でサッサと降ろされました。どんな物でも記念になると思うので、楽しみにしていたのですが非常に残念です。料金に含まれていて、それをくれないという事は、○○ですね、、。

It was unfortunately rainy from the morning, but the sun came out just during the sandbar and snorkeling time. We checked the tides and were able to see the best views. The round trip from the port was cold due to the rain, and some people were standing in covered areas. There's nothing we can do about the weather, but it would have been even better if it had been sunny.

朝からあいにくの雨でしたが、サンドバーとシュノーケルの時だけ太陽が現れてくれました(^^)v
海の満ち引きを調べて行き、最高の景色を見ることができました。
港からの往復は、雨で寒く屋根のあるところで立っている方もいました。
天気ばかりはどうしようもないですが、晴れていたらもっと良かったでしょう(^-^)

We had a good time nice fun ride would do it again next visit and recommend it to friends as well. Thank you

The sandbar feels like an ordinary beach in the ocean, so I wasn't as impressed as I thought I would be, haha. However, I think it's nice to spend the day relaxing, eating burgers grilled on the boat, watching sea turtles from the boat, and snorkeling.

サンドバーは海の中にある普通の砂浜という感じなので思ったほど感動でもなかったです笑でも、船で焼いてくれたハンバーガーを食べたり、船上からウミガメを見たり、シュノーケリングをしたりと1日のんびり過ごせてよいかと思います。

We had a very good time. The weather was beautiful, the water and snorkeling was great. Captain Bob and his crew did an excellent job. Everything was great. Will recommend to any one going to Honolulu.

Great experience, Chris and Steve were wonderful, very entertaining and knowledgeable. Saw lots of turtles and fish!!! Highly recommend!!!

Get ready for a fun time on this catamaran! The dolphins are a plenty and are in their hibernating season so they stay close to the coast. While you don't get in the water surrounded by dolphins, it keeps them safe, so it's good for everyone. There were so many kinds of fish and it was fun to swim through them. It was a nice cool day, and the dolphins were definitely out there. They got nice and close to the boat! The snorkel was amazing. By lunchtime, I was looking forward to food. The Captain is a fine cook and knows his way around a boat so it's double bonus for us. We had the tasty teriyaki chicken sandwich, which I can proudly give 5 stars! Try the Naked Pirate drink. It's awesome! The crew on the boat was friendly and managed to keep it fun for everyone even with a bunch of little kids running around. It's family-friendly and they made sure those kids stayed safe. This catamaran sail is worth every penny and then some. I highly recommend!

I was waiting at the changed meeting place the day before the tour, but no shuttle came, and I didn't receive any calls on my registered mobile. I tried calling the tour company several times, but couldn't get through. After 40 minutes, I finally got a call through, and when I explained the situation, they asked if I had been at the meeting place.

They said they would contact me again after confirming, so I waited in my room, but after 30 minutes, I still hadn't heard anything. When I called again, they said the Japanese office opens at 8 AM, which is why they couldn't contact me. At that point, it was already past 8:15 AM.

They mentioned rescheduling for another day or in the afternoon, but due to my travel schedule, I could only reschedule for that afternoon, which meant I would have to switch to a lunch plan that was different from the morning one I had originally chosen. Since I was traveling with an 8-month-old baby, snorkeling wasn't an option, and long hours would be a burden, which is why I had specifically chosen the morning plan.

It was a main option for me, so I decided to switch to the afternoon one, but they said it would just be a direct rescheduling, which frustrated me. When I complained, they said they would cover the costs.

The option I participated in was wonderful, but I felt that my limited time on this expensive trip was wasted on phone calls, I couldn't even have breakfast, and my original afternoon plans were ruined. Moreover, there was no response unless I took action myself. It’s truly sad and frustrating that such memories were left from this trip. I don't think I will use this company again.

I’m sharing this for reference, hoping no one else has to go through a similar experience.

参加前日集合場所の変更があったためそちらで待機していましたが送迎が来ず、登録した携帯に連絡が来ず、ツアー会社の電話にも数回したが繋がらず。40分後にようやく電話が通じ、事情を話すと
もう出てしまった、集合場所にいたのか？ との対応。

確認後再度連絡すると言われたため部屋で待ったが30分経っても連絡なし。再度こちらから電話したら日本語のオフィスが8時から開くため連絡できなかったと。その時点で8時15分過ぎでしたが。
他の日、もしくは午後に振り返ると言われたが滞在日程ではその日の午後にしか振替できず朝とは違った昼食付きのプランになってしまった。
生後8ヶ月の赤ちゃん連れだったためシュノーケリングが出来ないし長時間は負担になってしまうからわざわざ朝のプランにしていたのに。
メインにしていたオプションだったので午後のに振り返ることにしたが、そのまま振替にするという対応だったので頭に来て文句を言ったら料金はこちらで負担しますと。

参加したオプションは素晴らしかったのだが、お金をかけて行った旅行の限られた時間を電話のやりとりで無駄にされ、朝食も食べれず、もともとの午後の予定もダメになった。そしてこちらからアクションをかけないと対応もなし。せっかくの旅行にこんな形で思い出が残ってしまったことが本当に悲しく腹立たしい。
もう二度とこの会社は使わないと思う。
こんな目にあった人もいるということで参考までに載せておきます。二度と同じような経験をする人が出ませんように。

I participated in a tour in July during the day. The weather was a bit rainy and somewhat cold, but we had fun playing underwater beach volleyball at the sandbar. After that, we moved to a point where we could see turtles and had hamburgers. We saw about ten turtles from the boat. They come up to the surface for a moment to breathe, so we only saw them briefly. After that, we went snorkeling. There were life jackets available, and there were also things like boogie board poles, so I felt safe doing it. There were a lot more fish underwater than I expected. We were even able to feed them bread, which was very satisfying. Finally, it cleared up, and we were able to see the beautiful sandbar!

7月の昼のツアーに参加しました。天気は雨も少し降っていて若干寒かったのですがサンドバーでは水中のビーチバレーをやって楽しめました。その後はハンバーガーを食べて亀が見えるポイントに移動。10匹ぐらいの亀を船の上から見ました。呼吸をするのに一瞬海面に上がってくるとのこと。なので見えたのも一瞬でした。その後はシュノーケリング。これはライフジャケットもあるしビート板のポールのようなものもあるので安心して出来ました。海中には予想してたよりも色々な魚が大量にいました。パンをあげることも出来て大満足。最後は晴れて綺麗なサンドバーも見ることが出来ました♪

This is my second time participating in this tour. The last time I came, the tide was high and the sandbar didn't appear, but this time I did my research and was able to see the sandbar. There are always sea turtles near the boat (they have names, but I forgot them), and you can definitely see them. They are friendly towards humans, so when you make gestures to feed them, they come close, which is adorable. I might go again just to see the honu! I really recommend this tour!

こちらのツアーに参加するのは２度目です。前回来た時は潮が満ちていてサンドバーが出現しなかったのですが、今回はちゃんと調べて行ったのでサンドバーを見る事ができました＾＾ボートの近くにはいつも海ガメがいて（名前がついてるんですが忘れました；）絶対見る事ができます。人間になついているので、餌をやる仕草をすると近くまで寄ってくるのが可愛いです＾＾ホヌ見たさにまた行くかもしれません笑　このツアー、本当にお勧めです！

As the title suggests, the staff was very cheerful and helped create a lively atmosphere, making for a very enjoyable tour. It was initially rainy and cold, but the weather finally cleared up by the time we arrived at the sandbar. It was our honeymoon, and the staff suggested various poses while taking some wonderful photos for us. The hamburgers were delicious as well. The snorkeling was a bit murkier than I expected, possibly because it had been raining.

タイトル通りです、スタッフがとても明るく、雰囲気を盛り上げてくれたおかげで、とても楽しいツアーになりました。
当初雨が降って寒かったのですが、サンドバーに着く頃にようやく天気が回復。
新婚旅行だったのですが、スタッフの方が色々ポーズを言ってくれながら、とても素敵な写真を撮ってくれました。
ハンバーガーも美味しかったです。
シュノーケルは思ったよりは水が濁っていました。雨が降っていたからかも。

This was my second time participating, so I boarded the ship feeling reassured that it would be fun. However, the crew's energy and the differences in the ship I boarded meant it wasn't as exciting as I had expected. If I hadn't had the first experience, I would have rated it as enjoyable.

However, if this had been my first time, I might not consider repeating it.

今回は２度目の参加のため、きっと楽しいと安心しながら乗船しました。
ただ、なんというかクルーの方々のテンションや乗り込んだ船の違いもあって思っていたほど盛り上がりませんでしたが、一度目の経験がなければ楽しいという評価になったはずです。

ただ、今回が初めてであればリピートはしないかもしれないです。

Disappointed in our seats for the night show. We booked this so far in advanced and got lousy seats.

The rest of the facility was nice.

We participated as a family in a wedding ceremony in Hawaii. It was a tour of the sandbar that I had always dreamed of, but unfortunately, due to high tide, the water was up to my chest. Additionally, it rained on the way there, and it was cloudy at the sandbar, so we couldn't see the beautiful scenery like in the pictures, which was disappointing. I would love to participate again.

The staff were very friendly, and the hamburgers we ate on the boat were delicious. At the sandbar, there were small, beautiful jellyfish, and I was really worried because I heard that getting stung can cause excruciating pain, even for adults. My brother, who is quite tough with pain, got stung, and he said it hurt a lot, so I was glad it wasn't my grandmother or sister (laughs).

While getting stung was unavoidable, the staff's quick response after finding the jellyfish was good. It was disappointing that we didn't see any sea turtles while snorkeling. Also, the air conditioning on the bus ride back was extremely cold, and with wet clothes, I felt like I was really freezing. It was so cold that I thought we didn't need air conditioning since we were already wet, but it was still very cold, which was the most disappointing part.

海外挙式でのハワイで、家族で参加しました。
憧れだったサンドバーのツアーでしたが、残念なことに満潮で胸下まで水がありました。また行きのバスの途中で雨が降っており、サンドバーでも曇りで写真で見るような景色は見れず残念でした。もう一度参加したいです。
スタッフさんはとても親戚で、船の上で食べるハンバーガーも美味しかったです。
サンドバーでは小さい綺麗なくらげがいて、刺されたら大人でも泣くこともある激痛と聞いてとても心配していました。刺されてしまったのが痛みに強い弟でしたが、かなり痛いようで祖母や妹でなくて良かった（笑）と言っておりました。
刺されたのは仕方ないですが、くらげを見つけた後のスタッフさんの対応も早くて良かったです。
シュノーケリング中にウミガメに会えなかったので残念です。
また、帰りのバスがすごーく冷房が効いており、濡れた服では寒くて本当に凍えそうでした。服が濡れているので冷房要らないんじゃ？というくらいなのに普通にしてても寒いくらい冷房が効いていたのが1番残念です。

We are a couple who visits Hawaii for about two weeks every year. For dinner, we usually go to restaurants we always visit or those listed in coupon books, but I remembered how much we enjoyed the cocktail show at the Rock-a-Hula show two years ago, so this year we decided to upgrade and participate in the Green Room & Dinner. We were warmly welcomed by the staff with smiles at the VIP entrance and guided to the Green Room backstage, where we started with a welcome drink of champagne and light snacks. I remember spending a relaxing time while enjoying a fresh fruit platter. After a polite greeting from the manager, we had a great time taking photos with Lady Gaga. Then, the manager began a backstage tour, showing us the dressing rooms, costumes, and stage equipment that we wouldn't normally see, which left my wife very impressed! Meanwhile, I was thrilled to see her enjoying herself... feeling grateful for participating. The staff preparing for the show were friendly, exchanging casual greetings, and at the end, the manager took a commemorative photo on stage. After that, we were guided to our seats in the front row of the VIP area in the center of the stage! I was thrilled, and the Hawaiian gourmet dinner was beautifully presented, rivaling even top restaurants, with each dish being delicious. The aloha spirit welcomed guests without fail! I was once again impressed. The best entertainment unfolded on stage, with Elvis's fun talk bringing laughter and emotion, leaving me deeply moved. I believe that experiencing it firsthand will give you the true thrill more than reading my post. For those visiting Hawaii for the first time and returning guests... there is no doubt that all guests will receive wonderful hospitality and a fantastic stage. Among them, the Green Room Dinner & Show offers a five-star experience that exceeds cost performance.

毎年、２週間ほどハワイを訪問しているリピーター夫婦です。ディナーはいつも立ち寄っているレストランやクーポンブックに掲載されているレストランなどで済ませるのですが、２年前ロックアフラショーのカクテルショーに参加し大変エンジョイ出来たのを思い出し、今年はグレードアップでグリーンルーム＆ディナーに参加しました。VIPエントランスからスタッフの笑顔の歓迎を受け、バックステージにあるグリーンルームに案内され、ウエルカムドリンクのシャンパンと軽食でスタートしました。新鮮なフルーツの盛り合わせなど頂きながらゆったりとした時間が経っていったのを記憶しています。また、支配人から丁寧な挨拶の後、レディガガさんの登場で一緒に写真を撮ってもらったり楽しい時間を過ごしました。その後、支配人によるバックステージツアーが始まり普段見ることのできない楽屋や衣装、ステージ装置など案内と丁寧な説明に妻も大感激！その横で私は妻が楽しんでいる様子を見ながら・・・参加してよかったと感激？していました。ショーの準備をしているスタッフもフレンドリーで気軽に挨拶を交わし、最後はステージ上で支配人が記念撮影？その後客席に案内して頂きました。ステージ中央のVIP専用エリアの最前列！で感激、ハワイアングルメディナーは一流のレストランにも負けないくらいの素晴しい盛り付けで一品一品美味しい料理でした。抜かりなくゲストを歓迎するアロハスピリッツ！またまた感激。ステージ上では最高のエンタテイメントが繰り広げられ、プレスリーの楽しいトークで笑いあり感動あり、またまた大感激。私の投稿で読むより実際に体験していただければ本当の感激を実感して頂けると思います。ハワイ訪問が初めての方、リピーターの方々・・・すべてのゲストに素敵なおもてなしと素晴しいステージであることは間違いありません。その中でもグリーンルーム・ディナー＆ショーはコストパフォーマンス以上の体験をさせてくれる五つ星のツアーです。

Although the weather was unfortunate, both the guide and the staff were a fun group, and we had a great time on the boat. We enjoyed taking photos and snorkeling, and above all, the sandbar itself was amazing. I think it’s definitely worth a visit!

あいにくのお天気でしたが、ガイドもスタッフも楽しいメンバーばかりで、ボートの上から盛り上がりました。写真撮影もシュノーケリングも楽しめて、何よりサンドバー自体が最高でした。一度は行かれてみるとよいと思います！

Really enjoyed the show! Food was...ok. Would recommend based on the entertainment factor.

*Written by the teenager
My parents and I went on this snorkel trip as kind of a last minute thing and it was absolutely amazing. There is usually about 25 people on the boat but we got lucky and were aboard the boat with just one other family of three, also with a teenager. The snorkeling spot is perfect! I would definitely recommend bringing fins, they aren't provided or required but your experience will be much better with them. There are lots of fish but not a huge variety. The main thing is the turtles and there's plenty of those! They chill at the bottom and occasionally come up for air. If you have fins you can dive down about 15 feet and be near them. It's incredible being face to face with a turtle. The boat provides you with fun noodles if you would like to float at the top and look and that helped out the people who didn't bring fins. They also have one guy out there diving with you and keeping an eye on things which makes you feel really safe while snorkeling. After about 45 mins-hour, we got back on the boat and ate some sandwiches. There's drinks for sale as well. We then went on an hour long sail pretty far out there. If you don't mind getting wet you can sit or lay across the nets in the front and it's really fun. If you have younger kids or aren't comfortable in the water then I think you'll need to bring your own lifejacket. I'm sure they probably had them someplace on the boat but they weren't given to you and you don't really need them. All in all the trip was extremely fun and well worth the price ( which is better than any others we could find). Would definitely recommend this and we might even do it again before leaving for home.

I felt that waiting until it started was a bit of a waste of time. However, once the show began, it was great. Among them, Michael Jackson looked so much like the real thing with his mannerisms and gestures, and both his singing and dancing were excellent. "Over the Rainbow" was incredibly beautiful and moving. Lady Gaga also did her best. Elvis even came down to the audience to shake hands and throw out leis, which was a nice touch.

始まるまでに待ったされたのがチョット時間が勿体にいと感じました。でも、ショーが始まると良かったです。中でもマイケル、ジャクソンが段々見ているうちに本物の様に見える位癖とかしぐさがそっくりで歌も踊りも良かったです。オーバー、ザ、レインボーはすごく綺麗にはもって感動しました。レディー、ガガも頑張ってました。プレスリーも会場に下りてきて握手したりレイをかけたりサービス的でした。

I participated with my husband and our 5-year-old son.

On the day we attended, there were no sandbars, but there was a shallow area where adults could wade in up to their chests.

What surprised me was how accustomed the sea turtles seemed to people; they would come so close that I could touch them if I didn’t move away. While we were floating and playing, I noticed four or five dorsal fins about two meters away. Since we had gone snorkeling to see dolphins the day before, I rushed over, thinking, "Dolphins!" but the guide warned us, saying, "Shark! Shark! Shark!" It was terrifying to think that a shark larger than a person was so close, but looking back, I feel grateful for the rare experience.

The lunch was seasoned to suit Japanese tastes and was very delicious. My son, who loves rice, eagerly dug into the rice after a few days without it. Also, the salad they served right after we boarded the boat was still warm and incredibly tasty.

I deducted one star because the return bus was cold. There seemed to be no place to change, so we had to ride the bus wet, wrapped in beach towels, back to the hotel. It would have been nice if they could have given us some time to change, even if it was just at a restroom somewhere. Aside from that, it was a tour that I was very satisfied with, deserving of a full five stars.

I had a great time! Thank you very much.

*You need to take off beach sandals and Crocs when boarding the boat, but it seems you could wear aqua shoes. I noticed someone had injured their foot, so if you can, it's better to bring aqua shoes. They were selling them on the boat for $20. Disposable waterproof cameras were also available for $20. They were selling a photo collection taken by a photographer (probably given on a CD-R?), so even though there were no lockers, since everyone participating was Japanese, it’s a good idea to bring some cash with you.*

主人と５歳の息子と参加しました。

参加した日はサンドバーは出ていませんでしたが、大人が海に入って胸まで水がくるくらいまでの浅瀬が続いていました。

驚いたのは、ウミガメが人に馴れているのか、こっちが逃げないと触れるくらい近づいてくるほどでした。子供と漂って遊んでいると、２メートル先くらいに背びれが４つか５つ…。前日、イルカを見るシュノーケリングに参加していたので「イルカだ！！」と近寄っていくと、ガイドさんが「サメ！鮫！サメ！」と言って注意してくれました。人の身長よりも大きいサメがすぐそばにいたかと思うと恐ろしいんですが、今思うと貴重な体験ができたな～と感動しています。

昼食も日本人好みに味付けされていて、とても美味しかったです。
ごはんが好きな息子も、数日ぶりのお米にかぶりついていました。
あと、船に乗ってすぐに出してもらったマサラダもまだ温かくって、すごく美味しかったです。

星マイナス１にしたのは、帰りのバスが寒かった事くらい。
着替える場所が無いのか、濡れたままバスに乗りバスタオルをかぶってホテルまで帰ります。
どこかトイレでもいいので、着替える時間をとってもらえるとありがたかったです。
これを除けは、星満点くらい満足できたツアーでした。

楽しかったです！ありがとうございました。

《ビーチサンダルとクロックス等は船に乗る際に脱がないといけません。でも、アクアシューズなら履いていても良かったみたいです。足を怪我されていた方もいたみたいなので、用意できるならアクアシューズを持参した方が良いですよ。船の上でも20ドルで販売してました。使い捨て防水カメラも２０ドルでした。カメラマンが撮ってくれる写真集みたいなの（たぶんCD-Rで渡されるのかな？）も販売されていたので、鍵付の荷物入れはなかったのですが、参加しているのは日本人ばかりだったので、多少のお金は持って行ったほうがいいですよ》

Snorkeling on the reef was impressive saw turtles and an eel people were nice

It was such a beautiful and memorable tour! I highly recommend you take this tour! They will make sure you have tickets for that day.... If you go on your own, you are not guaranteed tickets for the day. I recommend you take this tour... The tour around downtown was also so informative. The bus driver was very knowledgeable and funny!

Great meal and entertainment during the dinner. Everything was so good, and those deserts, yum, yum! Then the show. Wow, you would have thought Elvis had stepped out of time to entertain us. The guy does a great job he has captured the mannerisms and voice of the King. Lady GaGa, made you go GaGa for her, so sexy and cute, and what a figure!
Michel Jackson, what can you say, Michel is Michel, from the gloved hand to the moon walk and shoes! Well worth the money for this show.
