The sandbar was incredibly beautiful and I was moved! Above all, the staff were all very kind! In addition, they were fun and I truly had a great time!

Thank you!

サンドバーはとっても綺麗で感動しました*\(^o^)/*
何よりもスタッフの方々がとて親切な人ばかり‼︎それに加え面白くて本当にたのしい時間を過ごせました！

ありがとうございました！

We were in Hawaii for our 36th anniversary and the Navatek Dinner Cruise was a lovely and romantic way to spend the evening. We booked the window seating and the spectacular view was really worth it! The Lobster - Steak dinner was delicious. Our server prepared our lobster for us at the table which was a nice surprise. The beef was a bit well done for our taste however. Overall the dinner was very tasty. The show was enjoyable and fun, and the main singers were all really good! There were quite a few honeymoon and anniversary couples, and it was nice visiting with the other diners. Also, we very much enjoyed going out on deck to view the beautiful sunset and beach from the ship. We look forward to another dinner cruise next time we're there.

Was very interesting. Learned a lot about the AZ & the MO. Great experience. Was fun to go inside the MO and see how they lived on the ships, equipment used etc. Would highly recommend for all ages! Great tour and staff.

It was a bit chilly from the day we arrived in Hawaii, and the weather looked questionable on the day of the event, but it cleared up just in time. Since we participated in the morning, the sea water was cool, but it wasn't so cold that we couldn't get in.

We participated as a three-generation family, and everyone enjoyed it regardless of age. Especially when we were anchored at the snorkeling spot, two wild turtles kept circling around the boat, and while we floated in the water, they came close to us several times.

When the sea turtle took a breath, we witnessed a cute splash along with a little puff of air, which became a wonderful memory for the three of us. The light snacks were delicious and plentiful.

Additionally, all the staff members were cheerful and very kind. I definitely want to participate again the next time I visit Hawaii.

ハワイ到着日から肌寒い日が続き、参加当日も怪しい雲行きでしたが何とか晴れました。午前の参加だったので海水はひんやりしていましたが寒くて入れないというほどではありませんでした。
親子三代での参加でしたが、年齢問わず楽しめました。特にシュノーケリングスポットに停泊中の時、船の周りを野生の亀が二匹ずーっと周回していて、じっと海に浮かんでいると亀の方から何度も近づいてきてくれました。
海がめが息継ぎをしたときに「ポッ」という吐息と共にしぶきが飛び、すごく可愛らしい姿を目撃できたのが私たち三人の良い思いでとなりました。
軽食もおいしく、充分な量でした。
またスタッフの方々が皆さん明るく、とても親切でした。
次回ハワイに訪れた際も必ず参加したいと思います。

First of all, the inside of the ship is too cold. It's better to bring a jacket.
Also, everything on the ship is in English only.
I was able to see a whale in the distance, but it was much farther away than I had imagined, so I could only see it briefly and it looked small.
After that, there was nothing to do but wait to return, so I spent a lot of time just passing the time. There was too much free time, and it would have been nice if there were some events or activities.
I wouldn't really recommend it.

まず、船内が寒すぎ。羽織物を持参した方がよい。
また、船内は全て英語オンリーです。
遠くの方で鯨がみれましたが、想像していたのよりだいぶ離れているので小さくしかみえず一瞬でした。
後は帰るのみなので時間をかなり弄びました。フリー時間がありすぎるので何かイベント的なものがあればよいのに。。
あまりおすすめしません。

We had a fantastic time at this activity. We would encourage anyone attending for the first time to spend the extra on the ambassador package. There is so much to see and there is now way to get it all in one day and the tour guide will make sure you get to participate in all the live shows they put on there as well as re-entry into the park for another day to see everything else. It is a family friendly environment with the no alcohol on the premises and operated almost entirely by university students from the polynesian islands, so you can get a real feel for the many different cultures and peoples represented. overall it was awesome and well worth the time and money.

This tour should be experienced by all who visit the Hawaiian Islands. We attended this tour because my parents who travelled with us had participated in it 20 years ago said it was a must see. I knew very little about the Polynesian Culture before attending and the by the time it was over, my family and I were in awh of this culture. We attended with our two children ages 12&14 and they also loved it. Learning about the other countries who are part of the polynesian culture had us asking questions at every turn, participating in some of the games they play on the different islands had us all with smiles not to mention the wonderful show at days end. We paid for the Super Ambassador Package, yes a more costly package but WORTH EVERY PENNY!!!! You will learn much more about this amazing culture and the many islands by having your own guide. Our guide's name was Sepa, a truly amazing and inspiring young lady from the Islands of Tonga. Not only did we experience many of the polynesian islands while at the PCC but through Sepa we were able to learn from someone personally who lived as this tour depicts. We will always have fond memories of our time spent at the PCC as well as our time with Sepa.

Last year, I participated in a tour of Heaven's Sea with a different company, but this time, the crew and the Japanese guide were very considerate. It was disappointing that we couldn't see many sea turtles, but I really appreciated how the local crew kindly pointed out where to look. There was also plenty of time to explore the sandbar, and I enjoyed it thoroughly. I would definitely like to participate again.

去年違う会社の天国の海ツアーに参加させてもらいましたが、今回はクルーの方、日本のガイドさんの方の気遣いがとてもよかったです。
ウミガメをたくさん見ることができなかったことは残念でしたが、現地のクルーの方があそこだよ、ここだよと親切に教えてくれたことがすごくありがたく思いました。
サンドバーを散策する時間も多く設けられていて、十分楽しめました。
またぜひ参加したいです

Nice service. Bus was so comfortable. Recommended!

The weather was really nice, and the view of Diamond Head and the town of Waikiki from the boat was beautiful and impressive. Check-in started about 15 minutes before, and before boarding, they took group photos in front of the boat, which were sold for $13 or $15 after we got off. The photos were really good, so I purchased one. I participated in the tour at 1 PM, and the captain mentioned that the morning tour saw sea turtles, but we didn't see any turtles; however, we were able to see dolphins. When we spotted the dolphins, the captain chased after them, and it was a lot of fun. There were foreign girls lying on the net at the front, and everyone seemed relaxed. There were two staff members at check-in and two crew members on the boat, but all the explanations were in English. I heard there is a restroom on the boat.

天気がすごくいい日で船からのダイヤモンドヘッド、ワイキキの町並みはとても綺麗で感動しました。チェックインは１５分前くらいからで、船に乗る前にグループごとに船の前で写真をとってくれて船を降りたあと１３か１５ドルで販売していました。すごくいい写真だったので購入しました。午後１時からのツアーに参加したのですが、朝のツアーでは海がめが見れたとキャプテンが言っていましたが、海がめは見れなかったけど、イルカをみることができました。イルカを見つけるとキャプテンが追いかけてくれてすごく楽しめました。先端のネットの上に寝転がっている外人の女の子たちがいたり、みんなリラックスした感じでした。チェックインのスタッフ二人と船上はクルー二人でしたが説明などすべて英語でした。船にトイレはあるそうです。

I participated in the 1:00 PM tour. It was cloudy on the day, and the color of the sea wasn't great, but once we boarded the boat, it turned into a beautiful sunny day, and the colors of the sea, sky, and scenery were amazing! Among the Asian participants, there was one other Japanese group, one Korean group, and two Chinese groups; the rest were mostly Westerners, and the boat was nearly full. The explanations were all in English, but you can definitely enjoy it! There's no need to worry at all.

The sailing lasted about 90 minutes, and I was moved to see how the color of the sea changed as we went further out. Holding a Mai Tai cocktail, the lively music and the slow pace that you don't usually experience were very pleasant. By the way, the cocktails are $5 each. I would love to join again the next time I go to Hawaii! It’s not an exaggeration to say it was my best memory.

13:00からの回に参加しました。
当日は曇りで海の色もいまいちだったのですが、いざ船に乗り込むと快晴になり
海の色も空の色も景色も最高でした～！
アジア系では日本人は私たち以外に1組と韓国人が1組、中国人が2組、それ以外は
欧米人が殆どでほぼ満席でした。
説明はすべて英語ですが、ズバリ楽しめます！何の心配も要りません。
たっぷり90分ほどのｾｲﾘﾝｸﾞで、海の色が沖に行くにつれて変わっていくのが明確にわかり感動しました。ｶｸﾃﾙ(ﾏｲﾀｲ)を片手に軽快な音楽と普段味わえないゆっくりとした時間が心地良かったです。ちなみにｶｸﾃﾙは1杯5ﾄﾞﾙです。
今度ﾊﾜｲへ行った際もまた参加したい！1番の思い出と言っても過言ではありません。

My girlfriend and I decided to attend this luau because we were told that it is more privatized, less populated, and more personal. Indeed it was. Chiefs Luau has got be one of the most entertaining luau I have been to so far. Chief Sielu is a natural entertainer, with a real good sense of humor. The best part was Chief Sielu hand selected Ali'is to be used for demonstrations and entertainment. I believe the ali'is that he has chosen for the evening will never forget how to hold their wives, and throw them away. Overall this was the most funniest luau and great food.

It started off with overcast skies, and the weather was certainly not favorable. During the bus ride to the boarding area, it even began to rain, making the atmosphere inside the bus a bit gloomy. However, once we boarded, the excitement only grew. Thanks to our guide Hajime's thoughtful attention and ability to uplift the mood, we had a safe and genuinely enjoyable time.

As a side note, when the pickup location changed due to hotel construction, my phone happened to be out of service. However, the efforts made to contact me through phone calls and emails from the hotel contributed to a sense of security for the optional tour.

When we arrived at the sandbar, the water reflected the colors of the cloudy sky beautifully, and we were able to enjoy snorkeling as planned. Experiencing such a dense attraction in just half a day in the morning was perfect for my desire to also have other plans in the afternoon.

I hope to see the sandbar under clear skies someday, and I will definitely use your services again then. Thank you very much.

朝から薄曇りで決して天候に恵まれたとは言えない状況の中でのスタートでした。
乗船場までのバスでの移動中には雨も降り出し、車内の雰囲気もどんよりしがちでした。が！いざ乗船してからのテンションは上昇する一方。
ガイドをされたハジメさんの細やかな気配りや場を盛り上げる底力のおかげで、安全で心から楽しめる時間になりました。
余談ですが、今回、ホテル工事などの影響でピックアップ場所が変更になった際に、たまたま私の携帯が不通だったのですが、ホテルへの電話、メールなど手を尽くしてご連絡を頂いたことも、オプショナルツアーとしての安心感につながりました。
サンドバーに降り立つと曇り空なりの色合いを映した水も美しく、シュノーケリングも予定通り楽しめました。午前の半日という時間で密度の高いアトラクションを経験し、午後は別の予定もこなしたいという欲張りな旅にはもってこいです。
いつか晴天のもとでサンドバーを見てみたいと思いますので、その時には是非また利用させて頂きます。
ありがとうございました。

Would recommend Chief's Luau to anyone looking for some wonderful entertainment. It was very well run and great value for money. We had a terrific time.

It's natural, but unfortunately, it was cloudy throughout the tour, and the water was so cold that I shivered when I got in. Also, the sandbar had a tide level that was about chest to knee height. I think those planning to visit should check the tide levels beforehand.

The sea turtles approached us from a distance and sometimes came so close that they brushed against my legs, which was very moving. The BBQ lunch was a bit cold, but it was delicious. The crew members were all very nice, and the malasadas were tasty too!

On slightly chilly days, there isn't a place to change, so I recommend bringing a thicker jacket and extra towels. It was mentioned that bringing regular cameras to the sandbar is not recommended due to the risk of getting them wet, so if you want to take photos, I suggest bringing a waterproof camera (they were also sold on the boat for about $20).

The snorkeling was enjoyable, with about 20 minutes spent at a point where we couldn't touch the bottom, lined up in a row. The waves were strong, and I wasn't very confident in my swimming, but the staff were nearby on boards watching over us, which made me feel safe and allowed me to enjoy it.

I truly wish I could have experienced this on a sunnier day, but thank you for the fun experience!

自然のことなのでしょうがないですが、ツアー中はずっと曇り、海に入ると震えるほど寒くて残念でした。
また、サンドバーは胸下～膝上程度の潮位でした。こちらを目当てにしている方は潮位を調べてから行ったほうが良いと思います。

ウミガメは向こうから接近してきて時には足に触れるくらい近づいてきてくれて、とても感動しました。
BBQランチも冷めてはいましたが、おいしかったです。クルーの方々もとても良い方ばかりでした。マラサダもおいしかったです！

少し寒い日は、着替える場所はありませんが厚めの上着、余分なタオルなど持参された方が良いと思います。サンドバーでは普通のカメラの持ち込み(ぬれるため）は推奨されないとのことでしたので、写真を取りたい方は防水カメラの持参をお勧めします。（船上でも20ドル程度で販売されてました）

シュノーケリングは20分程度足がつかないポイントで列にならんで楽しみます。波が強く、少し泳ぎに自信が無かったのですが、近くでスタッフの方がボードに乗って見守っていて下さったので安心して楽しめました。

本当に、もう少し晴れている日に体験できたらと思うと残念ですが楽しい体験をありがとうございました。

We participated as a family of four on the second day. Since we couldn't join last time, we were blessed with good weather (late April) and had a lot of fun. Also, since we could choose our favorite meals, we opted for the "all-you-can-drink" and "unlimited ride tickets." The standard package satisfied everyone. The men should challenge themselves with the bodyboarding for an additional fee... I recommend it for upper elementary school students. Please give it a try. It looks scary to watch, but it's fun when you're doing it, and the kids took turns multiple times, being very satisfied with this attraction in the afternoon, continuing to ride the board. If you plan well for five hours as a family, it will undoubtedly be the best day filled with laughter. Please participate. However, keep in mind that the participation fee adds up for a family of four, so let's consider the family's opinions when making choices.

家族４名で２日目に参加しました。前回参加できなかったので、天候にも恵まれて(４月下旬)とても楽しかったです。また、食事も好きなものがチョイスできるので、「ドリンク飲み放題」と「乗り放題券」付きにしました。スタンダードで全員満足しています。男性は別料金のボディボードにチャレンジしましょう・・・小学高学年からお勧めです。チャレンジしてください。観てると怖いのですが、やっていると楽しくて子供は何度も順番をついて午後からはこのアトラクションで大満足、ボードに乗り続けてました。とにかく家族で５時間をうまく計画すれば、笑いの絶えない最高の一日となること間違いないです。是非、参加してください。でも家族４名での参加は参加費がカサミマス、選択は家族の意見を参考にしましょう。以上

The water was very clear, but it was different from the photos that show the sandy beach emerging from the water. However, the staff were very unique and I had a lot of fun.

水もすごくきれいでしたが、写真で見るような砂浜が水からでてる写真とはちがいました。
しかし、スタッフの方もとてもユニークでとても楽しめました。

Excursion shouldn't be called Dolphin watch as it is misleading... No Dolphins! Just snorkel and deli lunch.

We got picked up from the hotel at 10am and brought to the cultural center where we were asked to pay $25 for the tour guide and lunch. we didn't feel like having such a big lunch so we did not take the offer. There were too many people and we hardly see anything. The Luau was so so and the line was too long. We rather spend the quality time near the beach sipping some cold beer.

On the day of the event, unfortunately, it rained. Moreover, it wasn't just a light rain; it was quite heavy.

However, at the sandbar, we were able to walk on land that was completely above the water, and we also practiced snorkeling. Since we were playing by the water, we had plenty of time.

For lunch, we had hamburgers with patties grilled on the boat, which were surprisingly delicious.

While moving to the snorkeling point, we searched for sea turtles, and we were able to see many of them. The staff informed us which direction to look, so I think everyone in the group was able to see them.

We had a lot of time for snorkeling, allowing us to see plenty of fish. The area was limited to around the coral reefs, but the staff was always watching and ready to come to help if needed, which was reassuring.

After snorkeling, it was nice to be given warm drinks, especially since the weather was bad and cold.

The tour pickup was in a large tourist bus, and there were people from various countries on board. The guide tried to liven up the atmosphere with various explanations until we arrived at the location. Since everything was in English, I only understood parts of it, but I was happy that they occasionally brought up topics that were understandable for Japanese participants.

Once we arrived, Japanese participants and others were assigned to separate boats, so everything was explained in Japanese, and the staff were all funny and made it enjoyable.

参加の当日は生憎の雨。
しかも小雨ではなくかなり本格的に降ってました。

しかし、サンドバーでは水面から完全に出た陸地を歩くことも出来、シュノーケリングの練習も出来ました。
水辺で遊ぶので、時間は十分です。

その後の昼食では、船の上でパティを焼いたハンバーガーを食べ、これまた美味しくてびっくり。

シュノーケリングのポイントに移動する間にウミガメ探し、と言う感じだったのですが沢山のウミガメを見ることが出来ました。
船のどの方向に見えるか、スタッフの方がその都度教えてくれたので、参加者はみんな見れたと思います。

シュノーケリングでも時間がかなりあったので、存分に魚を見ることが出来ました。
場所はサンゴ礁の周りに限定されていたのですが、スタッフの方が常に見ていてくれて何かあればすぐに来てくれるような体制だったので安心でした。

シュノーケリングの後に、温かい飲み物が配られたものいいですね。
天候が悪くて寒かったですから。

ツアーのお迎えは大きな観光バスで、色んな国の方が乗っていました。
現地に着くまではガイドさんが場を盛り上げようと色々と説明してくれました。
全て英語だったため、所々しか解りませんでしたが、そんな日本人にも時々分かるような話題を振ってくれて嬉しかったです。

現地に着いてからは、日本人とその他の人が別々の船に割り振られた為、全て日本語で説明してくれ、さらにスタッフの方がみんな面白くて楽しかったです。

Although the morning was early, I had the chance to see dolphins twice and was thrilled right away. During free time, I was lucky to swim with sea turtles as well. I actually didn't have high expectations for the hula, but I ended up participating enthusiastically with flower decorations and a pareo (sarong) at the end (laughs). It was fun all the way to the end!

The staff were all kind and helped create a lively atmosphere, allowing us to fully experience the Hawaiian vibe. Now that I'm back home, I'm still enjoying the memories while looking at the pictures I purchased. This became my best memory in Hawaii. Thank you very much!

朝は早かったもののイルカは2度も見に行く機会をもらってたっぷり見られて早々に大興奮。フリータイムではウミガメとも一緒に泳げてラッキーでした。実はあまり期待してなかったフラも花飾りやパレオをつけて最後はノリノリで参加（笑）最後まで楽しかった！
スタッフさんも皆親切で盛り上げてくれ、ハワイ感を十分味合わせてくれました。帰ってきて購入した画像を見ながら、まだ楽しみに浸っています。ハワイで1番の思い出になりました。ありがとうございました！

Fun Times had by all. The only hiccup was when my card got 'frozen' because their machine was dirty. Tour guide with Ben was awesome! Very knowledgeable and made tons of suggestions of things to do after the tour. Definitely would recommend again... if only for the show in the evening.

First class service, excellent friendly driver. Highly recommended

My husband, son and I had a great time. We got there at noon and did the whole day including luau and show. We went thru every village and watched all the dances and there village life. So beautiful and full of pride. The luau was very good along with the entertainment but the show, Ha The Breath of Life, was the best. I suggest to all who visit not to miss the show!

I participated at the end of January. I was worried about the weather since it was the rainy season, but I was lucky to have clear skies. The sun was very strong, so sunscreen and a light jacket are absolutely necessary. Unfortunately, I couldn't see the sandbanks rising from the sea, but I was moved to see wild sea turtles. I think it would be good to check the tides in advance and make a reservation. The lunch was also very delicious. I would like to participate again if I have the chance.

1月の終わりに参加しました。雨季だったため天気が心配でしたが、晴天でラッキーでした。日差しがとても強いので、日焼け止めと薄手の上着は絶対必要です。海から浮き上がる砂浜は残念ながら見れませんでしたが、野生の海亀が見れたので感動しました。事前に潮の満ち引きを調べて予約されると良いと思います。ランチもとても美味しかったです。また機会があれば参加したいです。

Amazing experience! Loved the show. Tour with Ben was awesome! Upgraded our Ha tickets for free due to issues with credit cards. Picked up and dropped off from our hotel for a nominal fee.

First, it begins with a special treatment where they come to greet us at the entrance. We were the only two, a mother and child, led to the green room. While we were welcomed with champagne and fruits, Lady Gaga in her extravagant costume made her appearance! I was very happy to take a commemorative photo together.

Then, a brother who resembled Ichikawa Ebizō explained the backstage, dressing rooms, and the actual stage to us. However, since it was in English, I only understood about 30% (laughs). We had the opportunity to take photos on stage and even borrowed props and costumes used in the hula for some memorable shots—experiences that we could never have in our daily lives.

Next was dinner at a seat where we could actually watch the show. It was an ultra-premium seat right in the center, at the very front! Every dish was delicious, and I was very satisfied! The staff serving us were cheerful and polite.

The main show had a high level of quality, and my mother, being from the Elvis generation, was thrilled when Elvis kissed her cheek and placed a plumeria lei around her neck. Overall, it was a very satisfying and special night that beautifully colored our last evening before returning home!

まず、最初のエントランスで、わざわざお迎えに来て頂くという特別待遇から、始まります。
グリーンルームに通されたのは、この日、私たち親子の二人だけ。
ウェルカムシャンパンや、フルーツなどでのおもてなしを受けていると、奇抜な衣装のガガ様が登場！！ 一緒の記念撮影は、とても嬉しかったです。
そして、市川海老蔵似のお兄さんに、舞台裏、楽屋、実際のステージなどの説明を受けます。
とはいえ、英語なので、三割くらいしか理解できませんでしたが（笑）
写真なども、ステージの上で撮って頂いたり、フラの際に使われる小道具や被り物などを貸してもらっての写真撮影など、普段では絶対出来ない経験をさせて頂きました。
そして、実際のショーを見る席でのディナー。
ど真ん中の一番前という超特等席です！
お料理はどれもおいしく、大変満足のいくものでした！
給仕して下さる方もにこやかで、丁寧でした。
そして、メインのショーは、みなさんクオリティが高く、特に母は、エルヴィス世代なので、エルヴィスに頬をキスされ、プルメリアのレイを
首にかけてもらって感激していました。
全体的に非常に満足の行く、帰国前の夜を彩る特別な一夜となりました！

The sandbar, also known as the "Angel's Sea," refers to a white sandy beach that suddenly appears in the deep ocean.

Kaneohe Bay is originally a volcanic caldera lake with a large crater-like depression in its terrain. In ancient times, this depression became the sea, and the edges of the caldera acted as a breakwater, preventing large waves from entering the crater-shaped bay.

The white sandy beach within that depression is the sandbar.

The sandbar consists of only white sand and blue sea. Due to tidal conditions, the sandbar only reveals itself above the water during daytime tour hours about 60 days a year.

On the day I participated, the low tide occurred in the early morning hours, making it difficult to see the white sandy beach floating on the sea. However, I had the experience of walking on the white sand covered by knee-deep seawater in the middle of the vast ocean.

If you really want to see the sandbar peeking above the water, it's best to check the tide chart and confirm before arranging your flight tickets.

Reference: Tide chart; http://tides.mobilegeographics.com/locations/3854.html?y=2014&m=4&d=12

サンドバーは別名“天使の海”とも呼ばれ、深い海の中に突然現れる白い砂の浜辺のことを指します。

カネオヘ湾は、もともとが火山のカルデラ湖で大きなクレーター状の窪みのある地形。
太古の昔に、その窪みが海となり、さらにカルデラの山の縁の部分が防波堤の役割をはたし、クレーター状の湾に大きな波が侵入するのを防いでくれています。

その窪みの中にある白い砂浜、それがサンドバー。

サンドバーは白い砂浜と青い海、それしかないところです。
また、潮の関係で、サンドバーが日中のツアー時間帯に海上に顔をのぞかせるのは年に60日もないとのこと。

私が参加したこの日も、干潮の時間帯は朝の6時台でしたので、海に浮かび上がる白い砂浜を見るのは難しかったですが、大海原の真っただ中で、膝丈の海水が覆う白砂の上を歩くという経験が出来ました。

どうしても、海の上に顔をのぞかせるサンドバーを見たいという場合には、干潮表をチェックし確認をしてから航空券のチケットを手配する方が確実です。

The show was a lot of fun. Everyone in it was great. My husband was a little hesitant on going but by the end he was glad we went.

The entertainers were so personable. I felt like I was amongst family.
Activities, food& entertainment. The drinks were very strong
