We took a boat from a location about 30 minutes by car from Waikiki, starting with sea turtle watching. The turtles were on the smaller side, but we were able to see two or three right away. Then, we quickly arrived at the sandbar.

On the boat, there was an explanation about the option for photo shoots that would be made into a DVD. Since I didn't have a waterproof camera, I signed up right away. Without worrying about getting wet, we were able to take plenty of photos of the two of us with the stunning scenery as the backdrop.

I highly recommend it!! Over 50 photos for $60, ready the same day.

During snorkeling, we got really close to the sea turtles. It was a satisfying tour.

Although it was a morning tour, it wasn't too tiring, and we were able to make good use of the afternoon as well.

　ワイキキから車で30分くらいの所からボートに乗って、
まずは海がめウォッチング。サイズは小さめですが、すぐに２，３匹見ることができました。そして、すぐにサンドバーに到着。

ボートの中でDVDに仕上がる写真撮影のオプションの説明がありました。防水カメラを用意していなかったので、早速申し込みました。濡れる心配もなく、最高の景色を背景に二人の写真を思う存分撮って頂きました。


お勧めです！！50枚以上で60ドル。当日の仕上がりです。

シュノーケリングでは海がめと大接近。満足なツアーです。

午前中のツアーでしたが、そこまで疲れることもなく、午後からの時間も有効に使えました。

This was my second time on Oahu, and the first trip I mostly spent all my time in and around Waikiki. This tour was great in that it got me all the way to the other side of the island for a change of pace.

That side of the island....they called it Kaneohe Bay I think, man, it was beautiful. The water was so clear, and I got to see all kinds of fish I had never seen before too.

I didn't want to spend a ton of money either, and so this was a good deal for the price, as lunch was part of it...and tasted good too! The people were nice and helpful, and the sandbar was probably my favorite part. Good tour.

We seen so many dolphins and we were even fortunate enough to see Bottlenose Dolphins which are much much bigger than the frequent spinner dolphins. Bottlenose Dolphins do not come around the islands very often so this was a real treat, maybe even a once in a lifetime opportunity!!

The crew was very friendly and they held my sister's hand in the water because she is afraid of sea animals. But ONCE she put her mask on and placed her head under the water, it was a whole different world for her filled with beautiful colored fish and a huge reef system that surrounded her.

Wonderful crew, Tasty food, everyone on-board was really friendly and after a nice dip out in the deep blue ocean, you are treated to an open bar. Great Stuff! Thank you Hawaiiactivities.com and Ocean Joy Cruises for a wonderful dolphin watch and cruise!

On June 21st, a bus picked us up at the hotel at 8:30 AM. Several couples boarded the bus from the same meeting point. After that, we visited three locations with a total of 18 passengers heading to our destination. Along the way, we made a five-minute restroom stop at a park near the destination, and then we arrived at the intended port.

With two buses, we had a total of 45 people boarding the boat. The crew was mostly Japanese, so there were no language concerns. The captain in the yellow T-shirt in the first photo is Mr. Hasegawa. After leaving the port, the boat took almost ten minutes to reach the sandbar. It was so close that there was no time to get seasick. During that time, our guide, Izumi, provided various instructions. Just before we arrived at our destination, we encountered a swimming turtle. I spotted three turtles.

When we arrived at the destination, it looked like this... (fourth photo)! Due to the tides, it may not always be possible to visit at low tide. This time, the water was about knee-deep. We walked around for about 20 minutes before returning to the boat, where half of the group went snorkeling while the rest had a meal. We were part of the meal group. There was more food than we could eat, and everyone was more than satisfied with the amount.

When we started snorkeling, a baby sea turtle approached us. It seemed accustomed to humans and climbed onto the guide's bodyboard. After that, it swam around us.

The snorkeling around the coral had a limited number of fish, which might be a bit disappointing for experienced divers. Since we were wearing life jackets, we couldn't dive.

The snorkeling lasted about 15 minutes. After that, we returned to the boat and headed back to the port.

During that time, the only girl on the boat was chosen by the captain to hold the helm next to him. She seemed nervous, but it was a great experience for her.

While not everything was perfect, the guides had a genuine desire to entertain us, making it an enjoyable tour. It would have been even better if the weather had been nice.

6月21日朝8時半にホテルにピックアップのバスが来た。
同じ集合場所からは数組みのカップルの方がバスに乗り込んだ。その後3か所を回り18名の乗員で目的地に向かった。
途中、トイレ休憩で目的地そばの公園に5分ぐらい止まり、
その後目的の港に着いた。
２台のバスで総勢４５名になり船に乗り込んだ。
クルーはほぼ日本人の方々で言葉は心配ない。
１枚目の写真の黄色のＴシャツのキャプテンは長谷川さんと言う。
船は港を出た後・・・目的地のサンドバーまでほぼ１０分。
船酔いなどしている暇もないぐらい近い。
その間、ガイドのいずみさんが色々諸注意を話してくれた。
目的地に着く寸前、カメが泳いでいるのに遭遇。私は３頭のカメを見つけた。
目的地に着き降りるとこんな感じ・・・４枚目！干満の関係で１００％干潮時に行けない場合もあると言う事だ。
今回は膝の下ぐらいでした。
散歩を２０分ぐらいして船に戻り、半分の方がシュノーケル。残りの人は食事となった。我々は食事の組み。
食事は食べきれないほどあり、だれもが十分満足できる量だった。
次にシュノーケルを始める時、子どものウミガメが我々に近寄ってきた。
人間に慣れているようで、ガイドの方のボディーボードへ乗っかってきた。
その後、我々の周りを回っていた。

サンゴの周辺のシュノーケルは魚影はこの程度でもぐった体験者にはちょっと物足りないかな？
ライフジャケットを着ているので・・・潜る事は出来ない。

シューノーケルは１５分ぐらいだったかな？
その後船に戻って港に戻った。

その際、船に一人しかいなかった娘が船長に指名されて、
キャプテンの横で舵を持たせてもらった。
本人は緊張していたようだが・・・よい経験をさせていただきました。

全てＯＫではないが、ガイドの方々の楽しませようという気持ちがあり。楽しめるツアーになっている。
天気が良ければもっと良いだろう。

It was very enjoyable and interesting. The splashes of the waves were exhilarating, the swaying was like a roller coaster, and I was impressed by the deep blue color of the ocean. The view from offshore Waikiki was spectacular.

Among the participants, we were the only two Asians, and most seemed to be mainland Americans visiting for tourism (based on their accents).

Because of this, it was a very lively cruise. Indeed, the atmosphere tends to decline significantly when there are Japanese people on board.

If you don't understand Japanese and aren't quite fluent in English, you won't be able to grasp what the crew is saying. It was fun!!

大変楽しく面白かったでうす。
波しぶきは受けるは、ゆれはジェットコースター並みで、海の色の青さには、感激しました。
ワイキキの沖からの景色は絶景でした。


参加者は、東洋人は私たち２人だけで、ほとんどが、観光で着ているメインランドのアメリカ人のようでした。
（言葉のなまりで判断）

それなので、非常にのりのよいクルージングでした。やはり、のりのよさはでは、日本人がいると、かなり悪くなってしまいます。　　

日本語は通じず、かなり英語がしゃべれる人でないと、クルーの言っていることは、不明です。　
面白かった！！

The staff was great, the food was good, and the snorkeling was fun.

I think there were about 25 people on board, and we were the only Japanese. It was a cruise where couples, families, and friends could all truly enjoy themselves in their own ways.

Everyone participated differently, but there was a sense of unity among us. My family, for instance, had the chance to take pictures with an American couple in front of us, and sometimes the couples were hugging and kissing. A group of young girls was having a blast, dancing to the music at the front of the boat while splashing water everywhere.

Thanks to the staff's attentiveness, everyone maintained a good distance from each other, and I can honestly say there was nothing to complain about. The beautiful sea, the view of Waikiki, and the pleasant breeze made it all perfect.

My 78-year-old father was feeling anxious before boarding, but afterward, he unexpectedly said, "I had so much fun, I want to do it again." I was truly glad that I could share this first experience with him.

乗船は25名ぐらいだったと思います、日本人は我々だけでしたがカップル、家族、友人同士それぞれが思い思いに本当に楽しめるクルーズでした。

参加の仕方はそれぞれですが、全員の一体感もあり家族で参加した私たちも前のアメリカ人のカップルと写真を撮りあったりする時間もあり、時にはカップルは抱き合ってキスしていたりと・・。
若い女の子のグループはめちゃくちゃはしゃいで水を浴びる船の先端で音楽に合せて踊っていました。
とにかくスタッフの気配りのおかげでみんな良い距離感を保てているし、おせじ抜きに言う事無しです。
綺麗な海とワイキキの景色、心地よい風。
78才の父も乗船前は不安になっていたのですが、終わってから「とても楽しかった、もう一度乗りたい」と想定外の言葉が飛び出して、初体験の父を一緒に参加させてよかったと心から思いました。

I've been to Hawaii many times, but after turning 60, I had one regret. I wanted to try surfing at least once! However, participating in the Outrigger Catamaran Sailing made me feel like my dream came true. The view of Waikiki, Diamond Head, the blue sky, and the azure sea from the water was breathtaking. I even found the strength of the wind and the coolness of the sea spray to be pleasant. The perspective was different from the dinner cruise I had taken before; it felt as if I was flying over the waves... Unfortunately, since it was in the evening, I didn't encounter any sea turtles. Next time, I definitely want to join a morning sailing to meet the sea turtles! If possible, I would love to see dolphins too! This was an activity I would love to participate in again. Thank you very much.

ハワイはもう何度も行ってますが、６０歳を過ぎて心残りがありました。
一度でいいから「サーフィン」をしてみたい！でも今回のアウトリガー・カタマランセーリングに参加して、夢が叶った気分でした。海の上から眺めるワイキキの街並み、ダイヤモンドヘッド、青い空、碧い海。風の強さも、波しぶきの冷たさも心地よくさえ感じました。以前に乗ったディナークルーズの船とは、目線の高さが違うぶん、まるで私が波の上を飛んでいるように…でも、夕方の時間だったので、海がめには遭遇できませんでした。次回はぜひ朝のセーリングに参加して、海がめに逢いたい！できればイルカにも逢いたい！
もう一度、ぜひ参加したいアクティビティでした。ありがとうございました。

GREAT TIME

GREAT TIME

We participated as a couple and chose this tour because it offers longer free time compared to other tours, along with a good price and lockers. I had been to Kailua once before, but this time I wanted to visit "Boots & Kimo's," famous for its pancakes, and hoped to explore Kailua Town as well.

After arriving in Kailua, I debated whether to bike or walk, and ultimately decided to walk to Boots & Kimo's, which took about 20 minutes. I got pancakes to-go and enjoyed them for breakfast on the beach, and they were incredibly delicious!

Kailua has such beautiful waters! Waikiki is nice too, but coming here feels completely different. On the day we participated, there were many small waves, which didn't seem ideal for boogie boarding, but my husband was able to see a turtle while swimming. You can also rent snorkeling gear, so I think it's good to check the wave conditions before deciding.

After spending about an hour in Kailua, we rented bikes (Kailua Sailboards & Kayaks offers rentals for tour participants at around $11 each) and headed to the neighboring Lanikai Beach. Lanikai Beach has a milky emerald sea! The beauty of the ocean alone lifts your spirits. The last time I walked to Lanikai Beach, I was exhausted, so I recommend biking instead.

For lunch, we could choose between a boxed lunch or pizza, and I opted for the pizza recommended by the staff. I was surprised at how big it was!

The four hours flew by. With the long free time, we could visit the town and Lanikai, making it a great option for repeat visitors. There are Japanese staff members, and the presence of lockers, restrooms, and changing rooms adds to the overall sense of security, making it a very good experience.

夫婦で参加しましたが、自由時間が他のツアーよりも長い＆価格＆ロッカー付きということでこちらのツアーに決めました。
以前にも１度カイルアにいったことがありましたが、今回はパンケーキが有名な「ブーツアンドキモズ」にも行ってみたくカイルアタウンにもいけたらなと思っていました。

カイルアに到着後自転車か徒歩か悩んだ末、徒歩でブーツアンドキモズへ行ってみましたが、歩いても20分くらいでした。
パンケーキをTOGOしてビーチで朝食にいただきましたがすごく美味しかったです！！

カイルアはとても綺麗な海です！ワイキキもきれいだけど、こちらに来ると、全然ちがうな~と感じました。
参加した日は小さい波が沢山くるような感じで、ブギーボードはあまり適してなかったように感じましたが、旦那さんは普通に泳いでいたら亀をみれたようです。シュノーケルのセットもレンタルもできるので、波の状態を見てきめるのも良いと思います。
１時間ほどカイルアにいてから、レンタル自転車（カイルアセイルボード＆カヤックで、ツアー参加者は１台１１ドルくらいで借りれました）を借りて隣のラニカイビーチに行ってきました。
ラニカイビーチのほうが、ミルキーエメラルド！な海です。海が美しくてそれだけでテンションがあがります↑
ラニカイビーチまで、以前行ったときは歩いたのですがヘトヘトになってしまったので、自転車のほうがおすすめです。

ランチはボックスランチかピザが選べましたが、担当の方がお勧めしてくれたピザをチョイス。すごくおおきくてびっくり！！

あっという間の４時間でした。
フリーな時間が長いのでタウンに行ったりラニカイに行ったりもでき、リピーターさんにもお勧めです。
日本人スタッフもいますし、ロッカーやトイレ、更衣室などもしっかりついているので安心度も高くとても良かったです。

This is a really convenient luau. In good walking distance or a cab ride away from all the hotels and incredibly delicious food. Be sure to get the Golden Circle, because we did and we had excellent front row type of seating. CHECK IN EARLY TO BYPASS THE CROWD!!!

Some bad "Cons" about this is:
there is no good/ romantic picture taking scenery, chairs are situated very close to eachother so your banging elbows with the next person, its on the top of a parking lot structure and its just surrounded by a bunch of buildings.

Staff was friendly, water is always provided, the Food is BETTER tasting from all the other Luau's I have been too.. so that is a plus.

It was a wonderful sail and beautiful scenery of Diamond Head, Waikiki and Town. The Captain answered all of my daughter's questions, and let me tell you..SHE HAD A LOT of questions!! She even made friends with another little girl on-board. We didn't snorkel because I am not a great swimmer and the waves looked kinda rough, but its ok...me and my daughter was on the top drinking our Orange and Guave juice and enjoying the breeze, relaxing and taking in the scenery.

The Catamaran was clean, comfortable, and had 2 CLEAN bathrooms on-board (Women and Men). The staff was very friendly, always came around to see how we were doing and offering us anything to drink.. Beautiful way to spend your afternoon.. Well done, Thank you Hawaiiactivities.com and Hawaii Nautical!!

I was worried about the cloudy sky in the morning, but with the completely clear blue sky, I felt like a yachtsman. We were the only Japanese people, but we enjoyed sailing together with people from various nationalities. The color of the sea was stunning, perfectly described as cobalt blue and ocean blue. The yacht, boldly sailing against the wind on the sea, was more enjoyable than I expected.

朝からの曇り空に、気を揉んでいたのですが、
すっかりの青空に気分はヨットマン。
日本人は私達だけでしたが、いろんな国籍の方々と
和気あいあいと乗り組みました。
コバルトブルー、オーシャンブルー、・・
青色の表現がぴったりの澄んだ海の色に感激。
海の上を風に逆らって豪快に進むヨットは思いの他
楽しかったです。

I wasn't sure about a Luau IN Waikiki but this one was really enjoyable. You don't have to take a bus 45 minutes each way or more outside of Waikiki, as you have to do with the other Luau's, which is a real plus! The food was excellent with a big assortment so there's really something that everyone would like. There's not really a bad seat in the house either. Of course we were sitting front row and it was pretty cool. Worth the extra bucks, in my opinion. The performers were really top notch. I'm not sure what I expected but they definitely exceeded anything I could have imagined. Definitely the best fire-dancers I've ever seen and I live here, so I've seen many. The whole experience was really fun and impressive. A great way to experience the culture of the islands.

I've been on other snorkeling cruises but was REALLY IMPRESSED with the boat and the crew. The boat was very clean, open and comfortable. Having great his and her bathrooms was a nice plus as well. The crew were fun, informative and professional. They make you feel very comfortable and taken care of. Swimming with the turtles was a total treat. There's a crew member in the water with you the entire time and they are not only looking out for your safety but are answering questions about the fish, turtles and the total area. In addition, they are educating you so you really "swim" away knowing more than when you came. The sailing portion was really relaxing and peaceful. It's great to see Waikiki & Diamond Head Crater from the water and being able to leave on this trip from the Hilton is a real plus. Even the food and snacks were good. I would definitely recommend this trip.

Our friend recommended that we do this cruise and boy was I not disappointed. I have been on several other snorkeling trips before but never have i been so close to turtles! The staff was really amazing and it even comes with 3 free alcoholic drinks! The lunch was very ono as well. Over all a really fun day!

Fantastic culture and great shows

Like everyone else booked the half day but wish we had a couple more hours to visit. Luau food was very good and the show was wonderful!

It was just me and my friend, completely out of place among the Japanese, but the lively atmosphere and upbeat music really lifted our spirits! Surrounded by refreshing winds and the sea, it felt amazing. We encountered a large group of dolphins up close, and they even spun around like in a dolphin show. It's truly surprising to see this in the wild. Additionally, we were able to see sea turtles very close by, which was very satisfying. I recommend this for anyone who wants to see dolphins and turtles! I think it's a tour that can be enjoyed by couples, friends, and families alike. Don't worry, it's not a tour where you get too wet! Also, there are two hotels in Waikiki, Outrigger and Outrigger Reef, so make sure you don't accidentally go to Outrigger Beach! It's right next to Halekulani~~＾＾ It was a relaxing tour amidst a packed Hawaii trip.

日本人は私と友達の二人だけで完全アウェイ状態でしたが、外国人のノリの良さとアップテンポな曲で一気にテンション上がりました~！！！
爽快な風と海に囲まれてとても気持ちよかったです。間近でイルカの大群に出会い、イルカのショーみたく、くるくるっと回転までしてくれました。これが野生なんだから本当に驚きです。また、ウミガメもすぐ近くで見ることができ、大満足でした。イルカもカメも見たい人にはおススメです！！
カップルでも友達でもファミリーでも楽しめるツアーだと思います。あまり濡れるツアーではないので安心してください。それから、ワイキキにはアウトリガーとアウトリガーリーフの２つホテルがあるので間違ってアウトリガーのビーチに行かないように！！ハレクラニの隣ですよ~~＾＾
予定ツメツメのハワイ旅行の間にホッとのんびりできるツアーでした。

Only my friend and I participated as Japanese. When the white sails of the yacht catch the wind and pick up speed, we are splashed with water without mercy. I had a very enjoyable time while gazing at the blue sea. I definitely think this is an activity I would like to participate in again!

日本人で参加したのは私と友達の二人。
ヨットの白い帆が風を受けてスピードが出ると容赦なく水をかぶります。
青い海を眺めながらとても楽しい時間を過ごせました。
また、ぜひ参加したいアクティビティだと思います！

At first, I was worried about getting wet... but I ended up sitting at the front of the yacht, getting completely soaked and having a blast! I was able to enjoy a passion fruit cocktail on the yacht, and since the seawater splashed on us, I bought a drink in a shaker-type container! The cocktail had a slight salty taste from the seawater, and it was so much fun to enjoy it while having a great time with the other participants!

最初は濡れるのがいやかも…
と思っていましたが、ヨットの前に足を出して座り濡れまくり騒ぎまくりでハイテンションに！
ヨットの上でパッションフルーツのカクテルも飲めて、海の水がかかるので、シェーカータイプの容器に入ったドリンクを購入！海の水がかかってちょっぴり塩味なカクテルも、ほかの参加者たちと騒ぎながらでとても楽しかったです！

I was drawn in by the campaign price and decided to participate.

The yacht was relatively small, accommodating about 17 people. We boarded with my spouse and our 9-month-old baby, making three of us. The other guests were all foreigners (three groups, about seven people).

The boat left the sandy beach, started the engine, and headed a few hundred meters offshore. Once we were out at sea, we raised the yacht's sails and enjoyed the ride powered only by the wind. This was incredibly refreshing. Thanks to the cheerful captain and crew, the upbeat music kept the energy high throughout the trip! The alcohol mixed with tropical juice (for an extra charge) was perfect for this boat.

Although my spouse and I usually get motion sickness, we were able to enjoy ourselves this time without feeling seasick at all.

We even got to see sea turtles swimming, making this a thoroughly satisfying activity.

キャンペーン価格につられて参加しました。

ヨットは比較的小型のもので、１７人定員くらいのものでした。
我々は夫婦と０歳９カ月の赤ちゃんと３人で乗船。
他のお客さんは外国人の方々のみ（３組、７人位）。

船は砂浜を出て、エンジンをかけて数百メートルの沖へ。
沖に出てからはヨットの帆を張り、風の力だけで遊覧。
これが最高に気持ちいいです。
陽気な運転手さんと乗組員さんのおかげもあり、アップテンポな音楽でノリノリのヨットは常にテンション上がりっぱなし！
トロピカルジュース（別料金）で割ったアルコールも、この船にピッタリでした。

我々夫婦は乗り物酔いをする方なのですが、今回はほとんど船酔いすることもなく楽しめました。

ウミガメが泳いでいるところも見れましたし、大満足のアクティビティでした。

This was a place I absolutely wanted to visit on my first trip to Hawaii. Unfortunately, the weather wasn't very good on the day, and it wasn't the picturesque scenery you see in guidebooks, but I was able to see the sandbar. There was a Japanese guide, but since the main language was English, there were parts I didn't understand.

However, I was satisfied because I got to see sea turtles and go snorkeling!

初ハワイで、ここには絶対行きたいと思っていた場所でした。
あいにく当日は天気があまり良くなく、ガイドブックでみるような景色ではなかったですが、サンドバーを見ることはできました☆
日本人ガイドさんはいたのですが、英語メインだったので何をいっているのかわからないとこもありました・・

でもウミガメもシュノーケルもできたので満足です♪

"It was written that you have a high chance of encountering sea turtles, but what I wanted to do was 'snorkel with the turtles,' so I participated with half expectation and half anxiety, thinking, 'Maybe I'll just be looking at them from the boat.' But I did it! 'Snorkeling with the turtles!' I think I was lucky. Of course, since they are wild, you can't do it every time, but if I go to Hawaii again, I would like to join this tour."

「海ガメには高い確率で出会えます」と書いてあったけど、
私のやりたいことは、「カメと一緒にシュノーケリング」だったので、「船の上から眺めるだけかなあ」と期待半分不安半分で参加しました。
で、やれました！「カメとのシュノーケリング！」
運が良かったと思います。
もちろん、野生だから、毎回必ず出来るわけじゃないけど、
またハワイに行ったらこのツアーに参加したいと思います。

This is a place I wanted to visit at least once when I went to Hawaii. I was able to take photos, and it was a lot of fun. I signed up for the barbecue course, which I also recommend. The snorkeling was a bit lacking... maybe the visibility wasn't great? Next time, I think I'll try scuba diving.

ハワイにいったら一度は行ってみたかったところです。
写真も撮ってもらえたし、とても楽しかったです。
バーベキューコースを申込しましたが、これもおすすめです。
シュノーケリングはちょっと物足りませんでした。。透明度がいまいちだったのかも？？？次回はスキューバーダイビングをしようと思います。

My wife and I participated together. The catamaran's docking location was right in front of us, accessible via a paved path leading from the Outrigger Hotel to the beach between the Halekulani Hotel. There were about twenty participants, and we were the only Japanese, but it was not a problem at all. Since our feet would get wet, we prepared to set sail in our swimsuits. The instructions were given in English, and we were able to leave our sandals and board barefoot. I tend to get seasick, so I quickly sat next to the center mast. The tour departed at 3 PM, and fortunately, the weather was great. As soon as we set sail, we spotted the silhouette of a sea turtle in the water. As we headed out, the sea, which had been calm, began to get choppy, resembling a bit of an amusement park ride. Other guests were squealing with excitement every time they got splashed by the waves. The view of Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head from the ocean was refreshing and created wonderful memories. I didn't give a perfect score of five stars overall because, on the way back to the beach, I got a bit cold after being splashed by seawater for a long time, which lowered my mood. I think it's best to wear a swimsuit if you sit at the bow, as you'll get wet often, but if you're near the captain, you might not get splashed as much.

　妻と２人で参加しました。カタマラン号の停泊場所は、アウトリガーホテルとハレクラニホテルの敷地間のビーチへ続く舗装道があって、そこを通ると目の前でした。参加者は２０数名、日本人は私たちだけでしたが特に問題なし。足元が濡れるので水着の状態で出航準備。英語で案内があって、サンダルを預かってもらって裸足で乗船。私は船に酔いやすいので、急いで中心の帆柱の横に座りました。午後３時出発のツアーで幸い天気もよく、出航してすぐ海中に海カメのシルエットを発見。沖に出ると次第におだやかだった海も波が高くなり、ちょっとした遊園地のアトラクションのようでした。他の客は波を被るたびにキャッキャ言っていました。沖から見るワイキキビーチ、ダイヤモンドヘッドの景色は爽快で、良い思い出となりました。総合評価で満点５つ☆にしなかったのは、ビーチへ帰るときに、長い間海水を被って少し冷えてテンションが下がってしまったことです。帆先に座るとよく濡れるので水着が良いと思いますが、船長近くの場所であれば、濡れることも少ないと思います。

We easily could have spent all day at the Polynesian Cultural Center, and definitely hope to go back and do so someday! But for our 6-year old daughter, that would have been far too much. She enjoyed the canoe ride, the tattoos, the leaf weaving, and the poi demonstration. She is still talking about the dinner. Us grown-ups also loved the experience. The luau and the after show were exceptional! Far better than a previous, more expensive and over-rated experience on Maui. I think that if you only do one tourist activity on Oahu, this should be it, including the show. The HA show is WELL worth the price!

We participated as a family of five. Besides us, there was a group of about ten American young people and a couple who were also American. The one and a half hours of sailing were overwhelming due to the lively performances of this group of young people (in their late teens) and the staff, making it a delightful and enjoyable experience.

ファミリー5名で参加しました。我々以外は、アメリカンの
若者グループ10数名と同じくアメリカンの夫婦一組でした。
セーリングの一時間半はこの若者（10代後半）グループとスタッフの乗りの良いパフォーマンスに圧倒され、愉快で楽しく過ごせました。

Swimming with wild dolphins in the ocean has been a dream of mine for many years. I thought it would be difficult, so I participated with the expectation of being lucky to catch even a glimpse. However! Not only did I see them, but from the boat, I witnessed dolphins jumping, and once in the water, there were pods of dolphins coming one after another! I could even hear their cute sounds, and it was truly moving.

Additionally, all the staff were cheerful, and I believe it would have been a fun tour even if we hadn't seen any dolphins. After getting off the boat, we had a hula lesson in a cool shade, which also became a heartwarming and enjoyable memory. I definitely want to participate again the next time I go to Hawaii.

野生のイルカと海で一緒に泳ぐのが長年の夢でした。
でも難しいだろうから、『ちらっとでも見れたらラッキーだな』ぐらいの期待で参加したのです。
ところが！ちらっとどころか、ボート上からはイルカたちのジャンプが、海に入ればイルカの群れが次から次へと！！かわいい鳴き声も聞こえ、もう感動でした。
また、スタッフも皆陽気で、もしイルカが見れなかったとしても楽しいツアーになったと思います。
ボートを降りた後は涼しい木陰でフラレッスン、こちらも心癒される楽しい思い出となりました。
今度ハワイに行ったときにも是非参加したいです。
