I was looking forward to participating in this tour on my first trip to Hawaii. However, I wasn't confident in my swimming skills, and when it came time to go snorkeling in deep water, I got scared and decided to stay close to the boat.

It was a bit lonely not being able to go with everyone, but I played with the sea turtles and thought that was a wonderful moment while I waited for everyone to return.

At that time, the captain asked me, "Why aren't you going?" When I replied, "Because I'm scared," he brought me a swim board and told me to hold onto it. Then, incredibly, he personally guided me to where everyone else was by pulling me along.

Thanks to him, I was able to see the coral reefs and the fish swimming around, and I was deeply moved! It became an unforgettable experience due to the captain's kind consideration.

初ハワイでこのツアーに参加することを楽しみにしていました。けれども泳ぎに自信がなく、いざシュノーケリングで足のつかない所に行くとなると怖気づいてしまい、ボートの近くで居残ることに。

みんなと一緒にいけないのはちょっぴりさみしいけど、ウミガメちゃんと戯れたりしていて、それもまた素敵なひとときと思って、みなが戻ってくるのを待っていました。

そのときキャプテンが「どうして行かないの？」と声をかけてくれたので、「こわいから」と答えたところ、スイムボードを持ってきてくれてそれに手をかけるよう言われました。それからなんとそれをキャプテン自ら引っぱってく皆がいるところまでガイドしてくれたのでした。

おかげでサンゴ礁や泳ぎ回る魚たちも見ることができ、大感激！　キャプテンの親切な心くばりにより忘れられない体験となりました。

On this day, there were many participants, and three boats set out. After the boats departed, we first went to see sea turtles in the offshore waters, and if we were lucky, we might encounter manta rays. After that, we headed to the sandbar, but since I didn't plan to go snorkeling and just wanted to walk on the sandbar, I didn't bring my swimsuit, so I got wet up to my thighs during the 10 to 20 meters to the sandbar. It dries quickly, so it might not be necessary, but it's better to bring a swimsuit. After arriving at the sandbar, those who want to snorkel will do so in the outer sea, but it's also fine to stay on the sandbar. The morning tour is short, so even if you walk on the sandbar for a little while, it goes by quickly, and I recommend that. The scenery was amazing.

この日は参加者が多く船が3船でていました。　船が出発して、沖合の海でウミガメをまず見に行きますが、運が良ければマンタと出会えるそうです。その後、サンドバーに向かいますが、シュノーケリングをするつもりもなく、ただサンドバーを歩きたかったので水着は持って行きませんでしたのでサンドバーまでの10~20ｍの距離は股下まで濡れました。すぐ乾くので無くてもいいかも知れませんが、水着は持っていったほうがいいですね、サンドバーに到着後、シュノーケリングをする人はサンドバーの外側の海でやりますが、サンドバーに残っていてもOKです　午前のツアーは短いのでサンドバーを時間ない歩いてもアッと言うまなので私はそちらをお勧めします。　景色は最高でした。

We actually are a family with kids in their 20s but no option for that. We had a wonderful time. the weather was perfect and the water conditions were pretty clear. The turtles were magnificent but there was other wildlife as well--Spinner dolphins, Flying fish, etc. The cruise after the snorkeling was equally as fun. Our captain also had a great choice of music playing. The time went so fast--took the morning cruise which still left us the rest of the day for the beach. Would recommend this to anyone. My only precaution--if you have a anyone in your party with issues of climbing or would not be comfortable walking or sitting on the net of the catamaran you may not enjoy this. We loved it!

Recently, my mother, younger brother, and I (in our 20s) participated in this activity.

It was great to see the views of Waikiki while sailing. However, when we arrived at the snorkeling spot, the water was quite deep, and my mother and I felt very scared as soon as we entered the water. We ended up getting back on the boat in less than a minute. My brother, who has diving experience, enjoyed it until the end.

I thought I was prepared based on the experiences I read about, but I was surprised that the snorkeling was in a very deep area rather than a shallow one, and I questioned whether it was appropriate to only have a floatation device at that depth. There was no practice with life jackets or snorkeling, so it might be difficult for those who are trying it for the first time and are not familiar with the sensation. As a snorkeling beginner, I regretted not choosing a safer tour since it was a special trip. I also regret that I caused my mother to feel fear.

If you want to participate but are not confident in your swimming skills, I think you should consider this carefully. The ocean was very beautiful, so it might be a good option for those who just want to enjoy sailing.

先日、母・弟・私（20代）の3人で参加しました。

セーリングでワイキキの景色を見れるのはとても良かったです。
ですが、シュノーケルの場所まで到着した際はかなり水深があり　母と私は海に入った瞬間とても怖くなりました。。（1分も経たずに船へ上がってしまいました＞＜）弟はダイビング経験がある為　最後まで楽しんでいましたが。

体験談を参考に参加したつもりでしたが、浅瀬の方ではなくかなり深い場所でのシュノーケルだったことやあの深さで浮き棒しかないのはどうかと思いました。。ライフジャケット、シュノーケルの練習等は無しでいきなり始まりますので　初めてで感覚が掴めない方には難しいかもしれません。シュノーケル初心者だからこそ、せっかくの旅行ですので、安全なツアーに参加すればよかったと思いました。母にも恐怖心を与えてしまったのも後悔です。。

もし泳ぎに自信がないけど参加したい、という方は考慮したほうが良いと思います。海はとってもきれいだったので、セーリングだけたのしみたい方にはいいかもしれません。

Good tour for the price. Worth having someone pick you up and do the driving. We wish we had more time on the Missouri and to see the museums back on Ford Island. We drove from Honolulu, to Pearl Harbor to get tickets, back to Honolulu for the tour, then to Pearl Harbor, and then back to Honolulu. I would have preferred that we were picked up a bit later and have the tickets all ready for us. We barely had any breakfast and because there isn't much time, we didn't eat from 6:30 am to almost 4 pm. Our tour guide was very courteous and informative (Marlan).

There was a pool for small children, and we were able to enjoy it to some extent, but the guide who took us there didn't provide any explanations. Even though we signed up for a tour that promised an early arrival, we ended up not knowing what to do and wasted an hour.

In the morning, most of the slides weren't operating, so we were unsure what to do. The pool itself was crowded, so I think it wouldn't be much different from going to a pool in Japan. It was really crowded, and in the end, I only went on the slide once.

子供がいたけど小さい子用のプールがあり、それなりに楽しめましたが、連れて行ってくれたガイドからは何の説明も無く、せっかく早く到着するツアーに申し込んだのに、結局どうしていいのかわからず、無駄な一時間を過ごしました。
スライダーも朝はやっているものがほどんどなく、どうしていいのやら。
プール自体も混んでいるので、日本のプールに行っても変わらないと思います。すごい混んでいるので、スライダーは結局一度しかやりませんでした。

Your Cruise was the highlight of our trip. We had Nao as our waiter and he was great. He was so accommodating and everyone had such a great time. We were in and out of the dinning area taking pictures of the Sunset and later the Friday night fireworks. We had a great time, but in all the nights excitement we forgot one of our camera cases on board. The next day we received a call and asked if we had lost our camera case. We were already on the Big Island and could not physically get the case. Leslie told us not to worry, that she would have it sent to our place in Los Angeles. When I asked her if she needed my Credit Card to pay for the shipping, she said they would be glad to send it to us. Born and raised in Oahu, this made me proud of the Ohana and spirit of Aloha that was shared with us. We will never forget the feeling of Ohana and look forward to Sailing with you when we visit again. Oh, and the food was wonderful. See you soon. Mahalo

The day I participated was cloudy, with occasional rain, making it a bit chilly to enter the sea. I went to the meeting place, but there were no signs and no one who looked like they were part of the group... I felt anxious. Eventually, some people who seemed to be participants began to gather, and after some time, a person holding a sign arrived. I felt relieved... The guide spoke in English, so it might be difficult for those who are completely new to snorkeling. However, if you watch the movements of the people around you, you'll be fine. The sea turtles and fish were very beautiful! For those who are not good with the cold, it would be better on a hot day, but the wind from sailing after getting out of the sea can be chilly. I think it's a good idea to prepare long sleeves or a hoodie. If you are prone to seasickness or cannot swim, it might be better to avoid this activity.

参加した日は曇り空で、時々雨も降り、海に入るには少し肌寒い日でした。集合場所に行ったものの、看板もなく、それらしい人もいない…不安。そのうち参加者らしい人たちが集まり始め、その人たちと一緒にいると、時間を過ぎてから看板を持った人がやってきました。ホッとした…。ガイドは英語なので、シュノーケリングが全く初めての人には分かりにくいかも。でも周りの人たちの動きを見ていれば、大丈夫です。ウミガメ、魚たち、とてもきれいでした♪寒いのが苦手な方、暑い日なら良いのですが、海から上がった後のセーリングの風は体が冷えます。長袖やパーカーを用意しておくと良いと思います。船酔いしやすい方、泳げない方は避けたほうがいいかな。

I chose the plan without transportation since I would be using a rental car. The voucher stated a check-in time of 8:30, so I arrived on-site at 8:30. The entrance was closed, and there were no staff in sight. Eventually, I entered at the same time as a bus tour group that arrived at 9:30. It seems that the check-in time on the voucher was actually the meeting time for the bus tour from Waikiki. After waiting for an hour, just when I thought I could finally enter, I was told, "Those without wristbands cannot enter." When I insisted that couldn't be right, it turned out that wristbands were only for the bus tour participants.

I would like to see a clear distinction between the plans with and without transportation, as well as the vouchers.

It seems there is a lack of communication between the tour operating company and the agency, as the local staff do not seem to understand anything other than the bus tour.

I had a great time at Wet'n'Wild.

レンタカーを利用するので送迎無しプランを選択。
バウチャーにはチェックインタイム８：３０と記載されていたので現地に８：３０に到着。
入口は開いておらず、スタッフも見当たらない。
結局９：３０に来たバスツアーの団体さん達と同時に入場、どうやらバウチャー記載のチェックインタイムはワイキキからのバスツアーの集合時間のようだ。
１時間待ち、やっと入れたと思ったら「リストバンドをしていない人は入れない。」と。
「そんなはずはない。」と食い下がるとリストバンドはバスツアーの人達のみ、と判明。

送迎有りと送迎無し、それぞれのプランとバウチャーを明確に分けていただきたい。

ツアー遂行会社と代理店の意思の疎通が曖昧だと思われるため、現地スタッフがバスツアー以外をまるで理解していない。

WET'N　WILDは十分に楽しめた。

It was a tour that ended in the morning, and I thought that 30 minutes on the sandbar might not be enough time. However, other morning tours were fully booked, so I reluctantly (I apologize for that) chose this tour.

But in the end, it turned out to be a very satisfying experience! The staff were very kind, and they proactively offered to take photos for us.

At the time of booking, I didn't think there would be any time for snorkeling, but after taking a lot of pictures at the sandbar, we were able to experience a little bit of it.

I wasn't timing it exactly, but it felt like we had more than 30 minutes. I recommend this tour as you can schedule other activities in the afternoon! ☆

午前中で終わるツアーで、サントバーに上陸できるのが３０分ほどということで、時間足りないんじゃないかなー？と思いましたが、他の朝のツアーがもう予約いっぱいで、仕方なく（失礼ですみません）こちらのツアーにしました。
でも、結果大変満足なツアーになりました！
スタッフの方々はとても親切で、写真も自ら声をかけていただき率先して撮ってくださいました。

予約の段階ではとてもシュノーケルする時間なんてないと思っていましたが、サンドバーでたくさん写真を撮った後でも、少し体験することができました。

実際時間を計っていた訳ではないのですが、体感的には３０分より多かった気がします。
午後には他の予定を入れることができるしお勧めです☆

I took my sixth-grade child with me. The park itself feels surprisingly small, but perhaps because it wasn't too crowded, we had a great time. The deluxe plan includes free soft drinks, a barbecue lunch, and a bodyboarding lesson. I was so busy having fun that I didn't use the soft drinks even once. The barbecue lunch was decent, but I thought it was convenient to be able to enjoy it at a leisurely pace. The bodyboarding lesson was fantastic! It's not often you get the chance to try something like that, and we had a lot of fun. I recommend it for active families.

小６の子どもを連れて行ってきました。
意外とパーク自体が狭い感じがしますが、あまり混んでいないせいか、とても楽しめました。
デラックスプランはソフトドリンク無料と昼のバーベキューランチ、それとボディボードレッスンがセットになっています。
ソフトドリンクは遊ぶ時間が忙しくて、一度も利用しませんでした。
バーベキューランチは味はまあまあでしたが、ゆったりと利用することができて、便利だったと思います。
ボディボードレッスンは最高！なかなかチャレンジする機会はありませんが、楽しく体験できました。アクティブなファミリーにオススメです。

Highly recommend this tour...hotel pick-up, comfortable narrated bus ride through Honolulu, no waiting in line for tickets! Very enjoyable and interesting tour. Back to hotel by 2 pm to enjoy the afternoon on the beach. Well worth spending the $ !!!!

I participated with two elementary school boys. The sandbar was about calf-deep, but it was still beautiful... I was thrilled to encounter three sea turtles during snorkeling! I was also very lucky to see a manta ray! It was a fantastic tour. However, it can be cold after coming out of the water, so even in summer, a jacket might be necessary.

小学生の男の子二人と参加しました。サンドバーはふくらはぎ程度でしたが、やっぱりきれい。。。そのあとのシュノーケリングでウミガメ３匹と出会え感激！でした。マンタの姿も見れ、非常にラッキー！なツアーでした。でも海上がりは寒いので、夏でも上着（はおりもの）は必要かも。

The sea was really beautiful, and just relaxing on the boat was a happy time♪♪ I was lucky to see a sea turtle up close too♪♪

ホントに海が綺麗で、船の上でぼーっとするだけでも幸せな時間でした♪♪
ウミガメも近くで見れたので、ラッキーでした♪♪

Our family had a wonderful day on this tour. We were blessed to have Cousin Pete as our tour guide. Cousin Pete was born and bred in Hawaii. Heis so well read and knowledgeable sharing above and beyond what we expected. Fantastic

The sandbar was submerged due to high tide, so we didn't see the sandbar like in the photo, but the water level was about waist-high offshore, which felt quite strange. The sea turtles came close to the boat, and the kids seemed to be enjoying it, albeit a bit nervously. The snorkeling cruise was guided by the staff, and we felt safe enjoying it even in deep water (there were lots of fish!).

As for the barbecue lunch, it looked like we would be grilling our own BBQ in the photos, but in reality, it was a regular buffet style, which was disappointing.

サンドバー（砂洲）は潮位が高く、写真のような砂洲は出ていませんでしたが、沖のほうで腰の高さ位の水位というのは、不思議な感じでした。　ウミガメの船の近くに寄ってきて、子供たちもおっかなびっくり楽しんでいるようでした。シュノーケリングクルーズもスタッフさんが案内してくれ、深い海でも安心して楽しめました（魚もたくさん！）。
食事のバーベキューランチは写真では自分たちがＢＢＱを焼くような感じでしたが、実際は普通のビュッフェスタイルだったので、ガッカリでした。

I really wanted to participate in the "Sandbar Tour" since I'm going to Hawaii. However, due to a misunderstanding of the date on my part, I ended up canceling on the actual day... Still, they were kind enough to consider rescheduling for the next day. Since it's a popular tour, I didn't expect much, but to my luck, a spot opened up and I was able to join. I apologize for the inconvenience. Thank you very much.

I always trust Alan1.net for overseas optional tours. The tour was truly beautiful and became my best memory in Hawaii right before my return date, allowing me to take amazing photos. I saw many sea turtles and even happened to spot a manta ray. The mystical beauty of the sandbar was incredible. Above all, the seawater was warm, and my wife was able to swim as well. The local tour company, led by Yukiko, was energetic, polite, and very good.

I highly recommend this tour!!

ハワイに行くからにはどうしても参加したかった「サンドバーツアー」。
しかし、当方の日付勘違いで事実上の当日ドタキャン…。
それでも翌日に振替を検討して頂けることに。人気ツアーなのでダメもとですが
期待して待っていたら、運よく空が出て参加出来ることになりました。
ご迷惑をおかけしました。本当にありがとうございました。
海外オプショナルツアーは毎回Alan1.netさんなので本当に信頼できます。

ツアーは本当に綺麗で帰国日の前日にハワイ1番の思い出になり、最高の写真が
撮れました。ウミガメもたくさん、マンタも偶然見ることができました。
サンドバーの神秘的な美しさ。何より海水が温かく、妻も泳ぐことができました。
現地のツアー会社もＹＵＫＩＫＯさんを中心に元気で丁寧でとても良かったです。

本当におススメのツアーです！！

I go to Wet 'n' Wild Hawaii every year by some means, but this was my first time using Alawan. The combination of transportation, entry, and early entry before opening hours at this price is a great deal! I am very satisfied. I think I will ask for it again next year.

毎年何かしらの方法でウエットアンドワイルドハワイに行きますが、アラワンさんを利用したのは今回が初めてでした。送迎＋入場＋開園時間前のエントリーと三拍子揃ってこの価格は安い！大満足しています。来年もまたお願いすると思います。

I participated last year and it was so great that I'm joining for the second time this year. The location is at Hilton Hawaiian Village, so it's very convenient to walk from Waikiki.

The show is all in English, but it's enjoyable.

While waiting for the luau to start, the sunset from the Hilton's lagoon is very beautiful, so just looking at the scenery is never boring.

It seems like this will become an annual tradition for our family.

昨年参加してとても良かったので、今回２度目の参加です。
場所もヒルトンハワイアンビレッジにあるので、ワイキキからお散歩がてら歩いて行けるのでとても便利です。

ショーはすべて英語ですが楽しめます。

ルアウが始まるまでの待ち時間も、ヒルトンのラグーンからは夕日がとてもきれいに見えるので、景色を眺めているだけでも飽きません。

我が家では毎年恒例の行事になりそうです。

I highly recommend this activity!! We did the one for lunch but should have don the whole day! My husband loved it, we paid the extra $$$ for Snuba because we love snuba! The food was delicious also!

A must do! Great tour! Driver was super knowledgable!

"We participated as a family of four at Wet 'n' Wild Hawaii to enjoy the thrilling water slides! Unfortunately, it was raining in the Waikiki area on the day of our visit, which dampened our spirits a bit, but we headed to the Hyatt Regency Hotel for our 8:25 meeting time. The tour bus departed for Wet 'n' Wild Hawaii about 30 minutes late. During the ride, they played a DVD explaining the park, and the bus driver provided a detailed explanation in English while we traveled on the H1 HI WAY. After about a 30-minute drive, we arrived at Wet 'n' Wild Hawaii, where the weather was clear, making us all excited despite the rain in Waikiki. We had the benefit of entering the park an hour early, so we were able to enter before the general admission guests. We quickly rented a locker to lighten our load and had a blast. Before we knew it, it was lunchtime. Since it was a weekday, purchasing lunch went smoothly. The last time we visited was on a Sunday, and there was a long line for lunch then. Unfortunately, many attractions were closed in the afternoon, but we still had a great time until our return meeting time of 3:15 PM. On the way back, we checked the bus number written on our strap and boarded, arriving in Waikiki around 4:15 PM.

Overall, I felt it was a great deal with the "park admission + round-trip transportation" and the one-hour early entry benefit!"

「ウェット・アンド・ワイルド・ハワイ　絶叫ウォータースライダーを楽しもう！」に家族4名で参加してきました。当日ワイキキ・エリアはあいにくの雨で若干テンション下げながらも8：25集合場所のハイアット・リージェンシーホテルに向かいました。予定よりも約30分遅れてツアーバスは「ウェット・アンド・ワイルド・ハワイ」に出発しました。車内ではDVDによるパークの説明を流し、H1 HI WAY走行中はバス・ドライバーが丁寧に英語で説明をしてくれました。所要時間30分くらいで「ウェット・アンド・ワイルド・ハワイ」に到着。ワイキキの雨が嘘のようにこちらは快晴でしたのでテンションは上昇し皆ワクワク。今回は1時間早めに入場できる特典付きでしたので、一般入場者を横目に優先でパークに入れました。早速、レンタル・ロッカーを借用し身軽になって遊びまくりました。あっと言う間にランチタイム。平日なので、ランチ購入もスムーズにできました。前回来場した時は日曜日だったので、ランチ購入も長蛇の列ができていましたが…。午後からは休止しているアトラクションが多く残念でしたが、ワイキキ戻りの集合時間15：15まで楽しく遊べました。帰りはストラップに記入されたバス番号を確認して乗車し、ワイキキ到着は16：15くらいでした。

感想は「パーク入場+往復送迎付き」1時間早入場特典付きでしたので　"お得"でした。

This was my first time ever taking a helicopter trip or tour of any kind. So I was a tad nervous in doing it. But I said to hell with it I am going to do it. And I am sooooo glad that I did. The pictures from high above Honolulu was so worth the money and time I spent being a part of this like once in a life time adventure! Julie my helicopter pilot with Blue Hawaiian was a great professional and very friendly and pointed out all the highlights of our 50 minute tour. Blue Hawaiian was the best and for an extra $25 dollars at the end of your tour you can purchase a DVD of your flight with camera's in and out the helicopter. I had a blast and look at my pictures daily from my helicopter tour. I totally recommend this company and tour for memories of a lifetime! Can't go wrong with Blue Hawaiian at all!!!

Chief's Luau at Sea Life Park was definitely one of the highlights of my tour's while visiting Honolulu! The staff from beginning to end was just great. Chief was an incredible man and host and the music, the dancing, the ladies just made the evening something to never forget! The setting at Sea Life Park was great. You look in one direction you see the ocean, and another direction you have the mountain back drop. I totally enjoyed this show and food from beginning to end. Chief is the man, what he and the staff did with the fire torches at the end of the show was a nice way to conclude the program. I know there are a lot nice luau's being offered in Honolulu, but this one right here is right up there with all the others. Great show and I had a wonderful time and evening!

The food was delicious. The kids enjoyed it a lot. My child participated in a tattoo experience and got a shark drawn. They did it really well, and my child was very happy. The fire show was also amazing! The kids were super excited. Be careful with drinks when the wind blows. I wish I could have enjoyed it more if I spoke English.

食事はおいしかたです。こどももパクパクでした。タトゥーの体験に子供が参加してサメを書いてもらいました。とっても上手に書いてくれ、子供も大喜びです。ファイヤーショーも最高！子供も大興奮でした。風が吹く時には飲み物注意だよ。英語が出来たらもっと楽しめたのにな。

I thought I paid for the battleship Missouri tour but was never taken. Arizona memorial was just as I remember it.

I decided to join after seeing the tour's promotional photos. On the day of the tour, the sandbar wasn't visible due to the tides, but the blue sky, the clarity of the sea, the fish in the coral reefs I saw while snorkeling, the sea turtles that came close to me, and the delicious barbecue made for a wonderful afternoon. I had a great time. Next time, I will check the tide schedule carefully and hope to see the sandbar.

ツアーの紹介写真を見て参加を決めました。当日は、潮の関係でサンドバーが顔を出してはいませんでしたが、空の青さ、海の透明度、シュノーケリングで見たサンゴ礁の魚たち、近くに寄って来てくれた海がめたち、おいしいバーベキュー。午後のひと時、楽しい時間をすごすことができました。次回は、潮時をよく調べ、サンドバーの顔を見たいと思います。

I thought the cultural center was very good. Our tour guide was amazing and would recommend having one. The only bad thing was not being able to take pictures during the breath of life show and no air movement. Show was great but very warm. Wish I could have taken pictures.

The lines for popular attractions and dining were long, but I had a great time enjoying attractions that you can't experience in Japan.

人気のアトラクションや食事をとるための行列が長かったですが、大変楽しく日本では味わえないアトラクションを楽しむことが出来ました。

The weather was nice, and the sea was very calm and beautiful.

Due to the tides, the sandbar had water up to about my ankles at its shallowest, which was a bit disappointing, but it was very beautiful, and the staff took a lot of pictures for us, creating wonderful memories.

Because there were so many people snorkeling, it was more crowded with people than fish, which was a little disappointing.

Overall, I thought the staff were very fun and it was a great experience.

天候もよくとても穏やかな海できれいでした。

サンドバーは潮の関係で、一番浅くても足首ぐらいまでは水があったので少し残念でしたがとてもきれいで、スタッフの方が沢山写真を撮ってくれたりしてとてもいい思い出になりました。

シュノーケリングは人数が多い為、魚よりも人ばかりで、芋荒い状態になりました。
それだけは少し残念でした。

その他、スタッフの方もとても楽しくてとてもよかったと思います。
