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 had a BALL with Henry (our tour guide) and ALL of the employees we came across was sooooo friendly, funny and quick with jokes! This is a MUST DO! in Hawaii and booking thru Hawaii activities was easy and they call to confirm my pick up time and gave all the details again. From the time we got on the bus it was laughter from Everyone! Polynesian CC was just way beyond our expectations - we could not get enough. By the end of the day we were pooped! If you really want to get your $$'s worth and see Hawaii for what it is...DO THIS TOUR! you will not regret it. (Then again who regret anything in Hawaii?) I say BIG THANKS! to Henry and Hawaii Activities!! Mahalo again!

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。

We definitely go every year! The location is far, so it takes time to travel back and forth, but the American and wild attractions are so much fun. At first, I had to convince my family, who were hesitant, saying, "A pool in HAWAII?" (laughs)

There are many rides for two or three people, so it also allows for some bonding time.

Since it closes early, you can still have plenty of fun after returning to Waikiki, so I highly recommend it!

我が家は毎年、必ず行きます！
場所は遠いので、往復の移動時間は掛かりますが、アメリカンでワイルドなアトラクションが楽しいデス。
はじめは「ＨＡＷＡＩＩに来てまで、プール？」と渋る家族を説得して、行ったのですが（笑）

二人、三人で乗るライドも多いので、スキンシップにもなります。

早めの時間にクローズするので、ワイキキに戻ってからも、充分遊べるので、お薦めです！

Visiting the Poly. Cultural Center is a must do when visiting Ohau. This is a very enjoyable, educational and informative view of the Hawaiian Island. We had the VIP tour with a wonderful guide Wendy. Just when we thought it could not get any better we attended the theatrical show "Ha The Breath of Life" which was outstanding. What ever you do do not miss this.

Great time. Awesome value. Will return.

Is it only for Japanese people? All the participants were Japanese.
The staff was about half Japanese and half foreign. Everyone on the staff was very kind and energetic, which made it a lot of fun.

As for the weather on the day, it would definitely be more beautiful when it's sunny!

Is the sandbar's visibility above the water level just a matter of luck?
Unfortunately, when I went, it was not visible above the water and was submerged up to my knees.

日本人専用なのかな？参加者はすべて日本人でした。
スタッフも日本人と外国人半々くらいでした。スタッフの皆さんはとても親切で元気な人たちばかりで楽しかったですよ。


あとは当日の天候のみ、やっぱり晴れているときはキレイさが増すでしょう！！

サンドバーもどれくらい水面から出ているかは運次第？
私が行ったときは残念ながら水面からは出ておらず、膝位まで海水に沈んでました。

I participated at the request of my son, who is now in his first year of middle school. Our guide, Shin, was very attentive and there were no particular troubles. My son was able to dive properly. I think he did a great job for his first time. We encountered sea turtles twice. It was humorous to see them just floating and not moving much. The schools of fish seemed a bit sparse. Still, when I went in with the snorkel and had food in my hand, I was able to observe a large number of fish up close.

中学１年になった息子のリクエストで参加しました。ガイドのシンさんは、丁寧に教えてくれて特にトラブルはありませんでした。息子もちゃんと潜っていました。はじめてにしては上出来だったと思います。ウミガメに２回出会いました。ちょっとボ~ッとして動かないのがユーモラスでした。魚群は少し薄い感じがしました。それでも、シュノーケルで入ったとき餌を手にしていると多くの数の魚がまじかで観察できました。

When you think of Hawaii, you think of the ocean, but the water park was also a lot of fun. I had been to Wet 'n Wild in Florida before, so I made a reservation, and it was just as I expected; I had a great time.

ハワイといえば海ですが、ウォーターパークも大変楽しかったです。昔フロリダのウェット・アンド・ワイルドに行ったので、予約したのですが、期待通りで大変楽しめました。

Multiple slides are continuously closing.
There aren't enough floaties.
The operating hours for each activity are short.
It takes over 60 minutes to get there using the freeway from Waikiki.

The bodyboard lesson has no instruction or explanation,
but you can monopolize the wave pool for 30 minutes,
so you can ride the waves until you're tired.

The paved surfaces in the facility are so hot they can burn,
making it impossible to walk barefoot.

スライダーが相次いでクローズ続出
浮き輪の絶対数が足らない
各アクティビティの運用時間が短い
ワイキキからフリーウェイ使用で60分以上

ボディボードレッスンはレッスン・説明なし
だが波の出るプールを30分間独占できるので

Initially, we were told that we were unable to tour the Arizona until 30 minutes before we needed to check out of our hotel. Our driver, Cousin Jerry, saved the day. He walked up to the ticket booth and obtained tickets for my entire family for a tour three hours earlier. This gave us plenty of time to tour the Arizona and Honolulu and have lunch. He really went the extra mile for us!

After a 15-minute ride on a medium-sized boat, we arrived at a shallow area with a depth of 20 to 30 centimeters. It was truly surprising. We walked around and chatted there, and then went snorkeling. However, we didn't have much time (about 30 to 40 minutes), which was a bit disappointing. There weren't as many fish as I had expected. The lunch was very delicious, but since it was probably around 3:30 to 4:00 PM, everyone was quite hungry. I think it's better to have a light snack if you're on an afternoon tour. However, I was very happy to unexpectedly receive Leonard's malasadas for free.

中型ボートで15分も走るとそこには20~30センチの浅瀬に。本当に驚きです。そこでウォーキングやおしゃべりなどをしてその後はシュノーケリングへ。ただあまり時間が取れず（30~40分位）そこがちょっと残念でした。お魚は期待していたよりいなかったです。ランチはとてもおいしかったのですが、恐らく3時半~4時位だったので、みんなお腹がペコペコでした。午後のツアーの場合、軽く食べていったほうがいいと思います。ただ、レナーズのマサラダが無料で配られ思いもよらなかったのでとても嬉しかったです。

The sandbar changes completely depending on the tides, and I think its uniqueness deserves a perfect score of 100. However, it's important to note that it doesn't always form a beach in the middle of the sea as shown in the pictures. Those who are lucky might find a beach, while others can enjoy the sea turtles.

サンドバーはそのときの潮の満ち引きによって全然景色が変わるし、珍しさは１００点だと思います。
ただ、写真のように海の真ん中に浜になっているとは限らないので要注意。運がいい人は浜に当たるかもね。浜に出会えない方は海ガメで楽しめるかも。

I was picked up from the hotel where I was staying, passed by the "What Tree Is That?" tree, and arrived at the port. After a bathroom break, we boarded the boat. Before reaching the dolphin point, we were lucky enough to see a rare whale at the end of April. We snorkeled at the dolphin point. When we were told to "look down," we saw many dolphins! The underwater world, illuminated by sunlight, was beautiful.

My 4-year-old child was indeed scared of the ocean, but the staff helped by putting them on a kayak, and they seemed to have a great time.

The hula dance while feeling the wind was also enjoyable, and the CD of the photos I purchased turned out to be excellent. I brought an underwater camera, but I couldn't compete with the professionals.

Since it was April, I was glad I brought a hoodie.

宿泊してたホテルまで迎えにきてもらい、この木なんの木の横を通過し、港に到着。トイレタイムの後船に乗り込みます。イルカポイントに着く前に４月末には珍しい鯨に会えました。イルカポイントでシュノーケル。look downと言われ海の中を見るとイルカがたくさん！日の光が注ぐ海の中は綺麗でした。
４歳の子どもは、やはり海を恐がりましたが、スタッフがカヤックに乗せてくれて、楽しそうでした。

風を感じてのフラダンスも楽しかったし、購入した写真のＣＤも、申し分なく出来上がりの良いものでした。私も水中カメラを持って行きましたが、プロには敵わないです。

時期が４月ということもあり、パーカーを持って行って正解でした。

All in all, was a good experience. The entertainment was excellent. Much less people than at the Polynesian Cultural Center lu'au which was very nice. The only problem was the server who was extremely rude and sarcastic and made a part of the night very unpleasant.
