Oahu
On the second day of my arrival in Hawaii, I went on an excursion. The bus came to pick us up at the scheduled time, and we boarded. The bus's air conditioning was a bit cold σ(^_^;). It took about an hour to reach the destination, which is quite far from Waikiki.
Once inside, I borrowed a locker key at the reception to change clothes. (The reception staff can speak Japanese.) There are both large and small lockers, but the small ones are about the size of a shoe box, so they might not be suitable for those with a lot of luggage. I think the small locker was $12 and the large one was $17. When I returned the key, I received a $5 refund.
The changing room is located next to the restroom. That day, it wasn't very sunny, so it felt a bit chilly, but I had a great time on the thrilling water slides. It was a bit disappointing that some slides were not in operation, but the ones that were running were all very exciting. The slide shaped like a trumpet was particularly scary, almost like a roller coaster (laughs).
Most of the slides required you to ride on a boat, so at the exit, you would receive a boat from the person who just slid down and carry it back to the loading area.
ハワイ到着の2日目に行ってきました。
集合時間にバスの迎えが来てバスに乗り込みました。
バスのクーラーがちょっと寒かったσ(^_^;)
ワイキキからは離れていて1時間ほどで現地に到着しました
中に入り受付でロッカーの鍵を借りて着替えます。(受付は日本語OKです)ロッカーは大と小があるのですが小は下駄箱サイズなので荷物が多い人にはちょっと入らないかもです。
小が12ドル大が17ドルだったかな~
帰りに鍵を返すと5ドルの返金がありました。
更衣室はトイレにあります。
その日はあまり日が照ってなかったのでちょっと肌寒かったですがスリルあるウォータースライダーの数々で楽しかったです。いくつか動いていないスライダーがあったのが残念ですが、動いていたスライダーはどれも迫力満点で特にラッパの形をしたコースがあるスライダーは怖かったです。
まるでジェットコースターです(笑)
ほとんどのスライダーがボートに乗ってすべるのだったので
出口で滑ってきた人からボートを受け取りそれをもって乗り場までいきます。

The cruise was pleasant, and I was able to see a lot of fish. Most importantly, I was thrilled that dolphins came close and I could swim with them!
The hula dance lesson was also fun. I enjoyed both the sea and the land!
クルーズも気持ち良かったですし、
魚も沢山見れました。
なんといっても、近くにイルカが来てくれて
一緒に泳げたことに感動!
フラダンスレッスンも、楽しかったです。
海陸両方で満喫♪
The guide's explanations were very easy to understand, and everything was enjoyable from start to finish! If you're learning HULA, this is a must-visit!
ガイドの方の案内がとても分かりやすく、また上品で隅から隅まで満喫できました!
HULAを習ってる人は特に行くべきです!
There were more slides than I expected, and I had a lot of fun. However, it was disappointing that two slides alternated with a 30-minute break each. Next time, I want to go on a hot summer day.
思っていたよりたくさんのスライダーがありとても楽しめました。ただ、30分ずつ2つのスライダーが交互に休止になるのが残念でした。今度は真夏の暑い日に行きたいです。
This is my second time participating.
The early morning plan was a bit disappointing because the sea and sky weren't as clear due to the clouds.
The crew speaks Japanese, so you can board with peace of mind.
If you want to relax and enjoy, I don't think the early morning plan is recommended.
2回目の参加です。
早朝プランは曇りのために透き通った海・空☆とはいえなかったのでちょっと残念でした。
クルーは日本語OKなので安心して乗船できます。
ゆったり楽しみたい方は早朝プランはおすすめでないかな。と思います。
There are many slides, and it's really fun. Personally, I recommend Shaka. The slides close about every 30 minutes, so it might be better to go when it's less crowded.
たくさんのスライダーがありとっても楽しめます。個人的にはshakaがオススメ。30分位毎にスライダーがクローズします。空いているときにやった方が良いかも。

It was a bit cloudy on the day, but the color of the sea was very beautiful. The sandbar wasn't as prominent as seen in advertisements, but it's still a strange place that's shallow despite being offshore. It seems advisable to check the low tide before making a reservation, as it can be waist-deep on deeper days.
I would like to participate again.
当日少し曇りがちでしたが、海の色はとてもきれいでした。
サンドバーは広告等見るほどは浮きでてはいませんが、それでも、沖合いなのに浅い不思議な場所です。
予約前に干潮を調べたほうがよさそうです。深い日は腰くらいまであるようです。
また、参加したいと思っています。
Thank you very much! Unfortunately, the dream sandbar didn't form, and the water was about knee-deep, but it was a great experience! It was cold, so I didn't go snorkeling, but I think it was good that there was no pressure to do so.
Next time I go to Hawaii, I think it will be even more amazing if the weather is nice and the tide is low, so I would love to participate again!
I highly recommend it!
ありがとうございました!憧れのサンドバーは残念ながら砂地にならず、膝くらいの海水でしたが、とってもいい経験になりました!!
寒かったのでシュノーケリングはしませんでした!強要しないのもよかったと思います。
次にハワイに行く時はいいお天気で引き潮だとさらに感動すると思うのでまた参加したいです!!
オススメですよ!
I had an amazing day at Pearl Harbor. I didn´t go to the USS memorial because I don´t like boats. But instead I went on the USS Bowfin a fantastic experience. The USS Missouri battleship was awesome ! And it is so big, you need to set good time for this activiti so you can enjoy everything. And take the guided tours, they are really great. Also a big hand for the busdriver that day, Cathrine. She was great, smiling, happy, talked with everybody and maked all of us smiling. I was the only one who did the big tour in Pearl Harbor that day. On the way back she drove through Punchbowl and China town, really sweet and an exstra service for me. Fantastic day.
I was really wondering if I would encounter dolphins, but when they appeared right in front of me, it was so moving! I didn't feel seasick at all, and it was very pleasant.
本当にイルカに出会えるかなぁと思ってましたが、
目の前に表れた時は感動でした!
船酔いもなく、とても気持ち良かったです。
When I got off the boat and entered the sea, I was surprised to find a turtle bumping into my foot! The crystal-clear water was breathtaking.
ボートから降りて海に入ると、何と亀が私の足にぶつかっていてびっくり!透き通った海に、感激です。
It was a bit early to gather before 6 AM, but I was glad to experience the refreshing Hawaiian morning. The tour included a lot of activities such as searching for dolphins, snorkeling, BBQ, and hula lessons. The crew was very enjoyable, and I made great memories. However, I felt it was more about observing the dolphins rather than swimming with them, so I wish there had been an option to choose life jackets according to our comfort level. Also, it would have been even better if we had a bit more time for snorkeling.
朝は6時前に集合のため少し早起きですが、
すがすがしいハワイの朝を体験することができよかったです。ツアー内容もイルカを探し、シュノーケリング、BBQやフラレッスンと盛りだくさんでした。
クルーの方々もとても楽しく、よい思い出ができました。
ただ、イルカと泳ぐというより観察する感じだったので、レベルに合わせてライフジャケットの着用を選べたりすればよかったなぁと思うのと、シュノーケリングの時間をもう少しとってもらえたら、尚よかったかなと思いました。
Thank you for participating. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed the wild dolphins and snorkeling. Please note that wearing a life jacket is required by law. We look forward to your next visit.
ご参加いただき有難うございます。野生のイルカ、シュノーケリングなどお楽しみいただけたようで嬉しく思っております。なお、ライフジャケットの着用に関しましては法律にて義務付けられておりますことご了承ください。またのお越しお待ちしております。
I was drawn to the name "Heavenly Sea" and decided to join! The shallow sea was truly breathtaking. I think it's best to check the tide schedule before going. I did my research, so it was shallow when I went, but it seems that on some days the water can come up to your thighs.
The simple meal on the boat was just right, and it felt wonderful to enjoy it while looking at the sea. I was surprised to be able to swim with sea turtles while snorkeling! It was so much fun!
I definitely want to participate again when I come back to Hawaii!
天国の海・・という名前に惹かれて参加しました!
本当に浅瀬の海が広がって感動的でした♪
行く時は潮の満ち引きをしっかり調べて行った方がいいと思います。私は調べて行ったので浅瀬になっていましたが、日によっては太ももくらいまで来る時もあるようです。
船の上の簡単な食事もちょうど良く、海を見ながらとっても気持ち良かったです♪
シュノーケリングでは海ガメと一緒に泳ぐことができてビックリ!!!!でも楽しかった~!!!
またハワイに来たら是非参加したいと思います♪
This was my first time participating in a dolphin tour. The weather wasn't great, but I had a lot of fun meeting many wild dolphins. I was able to see dolphins both in the water and from the boat, including some that jumped like in a show. Surprisingly, I also saw a whale, which I thought was too early for this time of year. I can only say I was lucky.
During the snorkeling at a different spot, I encountered many fish, turtles, and even stingrays. I didn't expect to see so many marine creatures, so I was excited the entire time I was snorkeling. I had heard that kayaking was an option, but I completely forgot about it. The guides were kind and made the experience enjoyable. I was surprised to see that they were all handsome.
I read experiences about severe seasickness, so I made sure to take medication before participating, which helped me avoid getting sick. It was cold when I got out of the water, so it's better to have a jacket.
今回初めてイルカツアーに参加しました。
天気はイマイチでしたが、たくさんの野生のイルカたちに会うことができてとても楽しかったです。
イルカは海の中でも船の上からでも見ることができました。
ショーのようにジャンプするイルカも。
そしてなんとこの時期にはまだ早いと思うのですがクジラもみれました。これは運が良かったとしかいえないです。
ポイントを変えてのシュノーケルではたくさんのお魚とカメ、そしてエイにも会いました。
こんなにたくさんの海の仲間に会えるとは思っていなかったのでシュノーケルの間は興奮しっぱなし、
カヤックもできると聞いていたのですがすっかり忘れてました。
ガイドの皆さんも親切で楽しませてくれてました。
イケメンぞろいでびっくりです。
船酔いが大変だったという体験談を読みしっかりと薬を飲んで参加しましたので酔うことはなかったです。
海から上がると寒かったので上着はあったほうがよいですね。
The center and its activities are both an educational and entertaining experience. Everyone should take the opportunity to visit the center. The Ambassador Prime Rib/Seafood Package is an excellent option. It allows one to just enjoy the day's activities.
From what we had heard from some others we knew who visited the PCC, we were expecting a good experience, but results were beyond expectations!
The staff were consistently helpful and friendly, the presenters (in the village exhibits) were informative, entertaining and clearly loved talking about what they were demonstrating, and loved performing their traditional dances and skills. The Samoan Village demonstrator (coconut husking and fire making using simple materials) was extremely entertaining and I wish I had his muscles!
All that was very fine, but the capstone was the performance of "Ha! The Breath of Life". The performers are largely students at BYU Hawaii, but the performance was worthy of genuine professionals.
The food at the buffet (we didn't do the Luau) was very good and there was a great variety of foods available.
Highly recommended!
I gave "Value" only 4 stars because we are cheapskates and the price for such as we is higher than we would normally pa
I participated with my child. The sea was beautiful, and we went quite far out, which was very nice. However, I think it would have been even more fun if we could have joined as a group. Also, since you get quite wet from the sea spray, I recommend wearing clothes that you don't mind getting wet. If you're worried about getting wet, I don't think you'll enjoy it as much.
親子二人で参加しました。
海もきれいで結構沖まで行きとてもよかったですが、
グループで参加できればもっと楽しかったと思います。
また、かなりシースプレーで濡れるので濡れても構わない服装での参加をお勧めします。
濡れることを気にしているとそんなに楽しめないと思います。
I wasn't expecting much from the hula and fire dance in Hawaii, but it was really great. I didn't understand much English, but I had a lot of fun. Before the show started, there were some fun booths where you could choose your favorite designs for temporary tattoos on your arms and legs... (it was free). The food was served buffet-style, and I could take as much as I wanted. However, once the show started, I got so focused on watching that I forgot to eat with my chopsticks (or fork). I sat next to an American named Porter, and even though we couldn't understand each other, we connected and exchanged emails. After returning home, I sent him the photos via email.
Since I arrived early, I was able to enjoy the free seating. I'm thinking of coming back here next year if I have dinner elsewhere in the evening.
ハワイのフラやファイヤーダンスだろうってそんなに期待していなかったけどとても良かった。
英語はよくわかりませんでしたが楽しめましたよ。
ショーが始まるまではちょっとした遊びのブース見たいのがあって足や腕にタトゥーを好きな絵柄を選んで書いてくれたり.....(無料でした)
料理もビュフェ形式で好きなものを沢山取れます。でもショーが始まると見ることに集中して箸(フォーク)が止まって食べるのを忘れてた。
隣に座っていたアメリカ人のポータさんとは言葉は理解できないけど、打ち解けメール交換しましたよ。帰国して写真をメール送信しました。
席も早めに並んで行ったので自由席でも十分楽しめました。
来年も夜は他でディナーするならまたここで楽しみたいと考えています。
There were a lot of slides, and it was really fun.
The lunch bento was delicious and very filling!
Since there were many customers, we had to wait in line for the popular slides...
たくさんのスライダーがありとても楽しかった。
お昼のお弁当もおいしくてボリューム満点!
お客さんがたくさんいたので、人気のスライダーは順番待ちでした・・・
You definitely don't want to miss out on this incredible experience in Hawaii. Shopping is nice, but I really recommend enjoying the ocean to the fullest. The staff, including the shuttle driver and the Japanese instructor, were fantastic. There was also a Japanese family celebrating their child's first birthday, and we all sang birthday songs together, which was a lot of fun. I really want to go back. Just a heads up, make sure to bring a change of clothes because the bus ride back can be quite cold. The BBQ hamburgers we had for lunch on the boat were exceptional, and I feel like there were so many things I experienced that you can't find in Japan. Thank you very much!
初めてのハワイでこの感動は味合わないと損です。
買い物もいいけど、やっぱり海を満喫してほしい。
送迎のおっちゃんとインストラクターの日本人のお姉さんと
スタッフ、クルー、最高でした。
ちょうど1歳の誕生日を迎えた子供さんを連れた日本人家族が一緒に参加してました。みんなでバースデーソングを合唱してかなり盛り上がり最高でした。
また行きたいと強く思いました。
ただ着替えなどは用意しとかないと帰りのバスがかなり寒いです。
お昼からのBBQハンバーガーも船の上でみんなで食べるから格別でした。
日本では味わえないことが沢山あった気がします。
ありがとうございました
The 360-degree view of the ocean was incredibly beautiful. I was able to see sea turtles up close. I want to go again!
360度の海がとってもキレイでした。
うみがめもこんな近くで見れました。
また行きたい~!
Took daughter to Hawaii for her birthday. Wanted her to experience the Islands and how each of the polynesian islands were different yet simuliar. So informative and would do again and again if I have the chance. Thank you Angelo for the special birthday crown you make for my daughter. I asked her what her favorite part of her trip was and she said The PPC. You all were awsome. A big Mahalo to you all.
There is a wide variety of water slides, and the thrills are abundant. I highly recommend it for those staying long-term who are looking for activities beyond the beach.
ウオータースライダーの種類が豊富で、スリルも満点。
長期滞在で海以外にもって方にはとてもお勧めです。
The day before, I participated in an activity with another company and it was a disappointment, so I thought about canceling. However... it was way beyond my expectations and absolutely amazing!!
I had to wait 30 minutes because they didn't show up at the meeting time (laughs), but the guide was really nice and it was a lot of fun. The captain and all the staff were also entertaining. They danced on the boat, and the hamburgers were delicious, plus we had pineapple and taro!? We got to see sea turtles and dolphins, which was fantastic, and the half-day went by in no time. After getting back on land, I learned hula from a hula teacher, which was a great experience.
This is definitely worth participating in!!!
前日にほかの会社のアクティビティーに参加してはずれだったので、前日にキャンセルしようかと思いましたが。。。
全然、期待以上に最高でした!!
朝待ち合わせ時間にこなくて30分待たされましたが(笑)
ガイドさんも、めっちゃいい人で楽しかったし
船の船長さんはじめスタッフのかたもみんな面白かったです。
船の上でダンスしてくれて、ハンバーガーはおいしくて
パイナップルとかタロイモ!?もでました。
ウミガメもイルカもみれて最高なうえ
半日あっという間でした。
陸に上がってからは、フラの先生にフラを教えてもらって
いい経験になりました。
これは、参加する価値ありです!!!
Thank you for enjoying the tour. We apologize for the inconvenience regarding the pickup. To avoid such issues in the future, we will strive to improve our services. We sincerely look forward to your next visit.
ツアーをお楽しみいただき有難うございます。ピックアップに関しましては、ご迷惑をおかけしまして申し訳ございませんでした。このようなご迷惑をおかけしないためにも、サービス向上に努めさせていただきます。またのご利用心よりお待ちしております。
The shuttle bus was shared with foreigners, but that was also part of the joy of traveling and it was a lot of fun. Snorkeling in the beautiful sea was amazing, and eating a hamburger on the water was also fantastic. I made some wonderful memories! (^^)
迎えのバスが外人さんとの混載だったのですが、それもまた旅の醍醐味で大変楽しかったです。
きれいな海でのシュノーケルも最高、海上で食べるハンバーガーもまた最高。
とてもいい思い出が出来ました(^^)
The staff was very accommodating, and overall, I had a good time. However, the main focus of this tour was supposed to be "swimming with dolphins." The time spent seeing dolphins in the water was surprisingly short, just a few seconds, and they were quite far away. I thought there would be more to it, but I was quickly told to return to the boat, and then we moved on to a spot with turtles and tropical fish. During the transfer, I saw another company snorkeling very close to dolphins jumping, and I was really envious. They must have noticed the short time we had with the dolphins, as we went back to the dolphin point at the end, where we could see them from the boat. However, if the tour is just about seeing dolphins, there are cheaper options available. I hate to be repetitive, but "swimming with dolphins" was the reason I joined this tour... I understand that they are wild animals, but I wish we had been taken to another dolphin point instead of the turtle point after the first stop.
スタッフの方の対応もよく、全体的には楽しめました。
が・・・このツアーのメインは“イルカと泳ぐ”のはず。海の中でイルカを見られたのは驚くほど短く、ほんの数秒。しかもかなり遠い。まさかそれで終わりではないだろうと思っていたのに、すぐに船に戻れと言われ、その後はカメや熱帯魚のいるポイントへ。移動中、別の会社がイルカのジャンプしているすぐ近くでスノーケルしているのが見えて、とってもうらやましかったです。さすがにメインのイルカの時間の短さを気にして下さったのか、最後に再度イルカのポイントへ行き、船の上からイルカを見ることはできましたが、イルカを見るだけのツアーならもっと安いツアーがあります。しつこいようですが、“イルカと泳ぐ”がこのツアーに参加した目的だったのに・・・
野生の生き物なのでしょうがないという気持ちもありますが、最初のポイントの後に、カメポイントではなく、別のイルカポイントに連れて行ってほしかったです。
Thank you for participating. We regret that you were unable to experience swimming closely with wild dolphins this time. Our captain assesses the sea conditions of the day and guides you to the best spots where wild dolphins are known to pass. However, please understand that, due to the nature of wild animals, the number of opportunities to swim with them and the distance to the dolphins can vary from day to day.
ご参加いただき有難うございます。このたびは水中で野生のイルカと間近で一緒に泳ぐ体験をしていただけなかったようで残念に思っております。船長がその日の海の状況を見て、野生のイルカがいるベストスポット(イルカの通り道)へご案内させていただくようにしておりますが、自然の生き物のため、日により一緒に泳げる回数やイルカとの距離は変化しておりますことご了承ください。
Booked this sailing sunset cruise for myself and my beautiful wife. We have done sailing sunset cruises before in Mexico so knew what to expect and initial indications were this would be pretty standard fare for what we've experienced. However, the desire was to be able to appreciate a couple hours sailing while appreciating a beautiful sunset. We weren't looking for anything grandiose. But, we were impressed by the all male staff not being over-the-top on trying to "cheese" up the cruise but were good to let the experience of the sunset be the excitement for the guests. However, about 40 minutes into the cruise the captain asked loudly if we wanted to see dolphins. He immediately swung the boat toward a school of Hawaiian Spinner Dolphins and we were fortunate to spend the next 10-15 minutes sailing along with them playing all around the boat including swimming and playing in the wake at the bow of the boat. There was a school of 50+ dolphins all around us. What an amazing exper
The food was absolutely wonderful and delicious. Thank you very much.
料理が非常にすばらしく、おいしかったです。
ありがとうございました。
The shuttle service was punctual, which is great for Japanese guests. The pool had many slides that you don't typically find in Japan, so the kids were thrilled and had a lot of fun!
送迎の時間などがキッチリしていて、日本人向けでとてもいいです。
プールは日本にないようなスライダーが沢山あったので
子供達も大興奮で楽しめました♪
