The gradually changing colors of the sea were wonderful. The food was also very delicious, and the Spirit of Aloha was a great yacht. Above all, the staff were very welcoming, which made me feel at ease. I had been looking forward to this since before leaving Japan, and it exceeded my expectations. Watching the sunset from the edge of the boat with a glass in hand felt like a scene from a movie, and it was delightful. I think I might get hooked on this (laughs).

だんだん変る海の色が素敵でした。お料理もとてもおいしかったし、スピリット・オブ・アロハ号もとてもよいヨットでした。何よりスタッフの方がアットホームで、安心できました。日本を出発する前からとても楽しみにしていたのですが、予想以上によかったです。グラス片手に船縁で夕陽を眺めたら映画のワンシーンのようで、気持ちよかったです。
やみつきになりそうです（笑）

Actually, I had never been on a cruise before, and my first cruise turned out to be in Hawaii. I thought a smaller boat would be better than a big ship, so we discussed it and chose this cruise from the website. The catamaran also felt very Hawaiian.

It was my first experience feeling how nice it is to sail through the sea with the sea breeze. Looking at the land from the sea gave me a strange feeling, like, "Oh, I was just over there, and now I'm looking at it from the water." The crew members were very kind and made it enjoyable for us.

Before I knew it, an hour had passed. Next time, I definitely want to join a sunset cruise plan.

実は今までクルーズってしたことがなく、初めてのクルーズがハワイになってしまったんです。大きな船よりも小さいボートっぽいのがいいな、と思ってみんなで相談してホームページからこのクルーズを選びました。カタマラン船っていうのもハワイっぽかったし。
潮風を受けて海を進むのがこんなに気持ちいいなんて初めての体験でした。海から陸を眺めるのも、「ああ、さっきまであそこにいたのに、今は海から眺めているんだな」って不思議な感覚でした。船員のスタッフの方々がとても親切で楽しませてくれました。
あっという間に１時間が経ってしまいました。
今度は是非夕日を眺めるクルーズプランに参加したいです。

I wanted to express my gratitude and share my experience. It was really wonderful. The sunset was amazing, and the view of the lights on Waikiki Beach from the sea was beautiful. The food was delicious, and everything was great. I'm so glad I participated! The refreshing sea breeze was pleasant, and I savored my happiness. Thank you so much to the staff on the boat who took care of us.

感謝したくて体験談投稿しました。
とってもよかったです。サンセットも素晴らしかったし、海から眺める灯りの点るワイキキビーチもきれいで、食事もおいしかったし、何もかもよかったです。
参加してほんとよかった！吹く潮風も心地よくて、幸せを噛み締めました。
お世話して下さった船のスタッフの方々、本当にありがとうございました。

I participated on the same day I arrived in Hawaii. The flight was long, so I was a bit tired, but the refreshing sea breeze and the beautiful ocean completely blew away my fatigue.

I was glad to enjoy the Hawaiian sea on the cruise right after arriving in Hawaii. The staff were cheerful and really helped to create a fun atmosphere.

The cleanliness and beauty of the ship (maybe it was new?) also left a good impression.

Overall, everything was great.

ハワイに到着したその日に参加しました。飛行機が長かったので、少々疲れていましたが、潮風が気持ちよく、海がキレイだったので、すっかり疲れも吹っ飛びました。
ハワイに行ってまずクルーズでハワイの海を楽しめてよかったです。
スタッフの方々が明るくて盛り上げてくれたのも、楽しめました。

船が清潔できれいだった（新しいのかな？）のも、好印象でした。

とにかく全てにおいてよかったです。

I made a reservation because I wanted to watch the sunset over the sea, and I'm so glad I did.

The gentle waves, the sea breeze, the sunset sinking beyond the horizon, and the white boat all created an amazing atmosphere—it was the best.

Being out on the sea, away from the beach, felt like I was having the sunset all to myself; there’s no greater luxury than that.

The food was delicious, and everyone on board, including the staff, was so nice, which allowed me to truly enjoy this cruise.

It was a wonderful memory.

夕日を海の上で眺めたいと思い、予約しましたが、申し込んでよかったです。

波の揺れと、潮風と、水平線の彼方に沈んでいく夕日と、白い船と、何もかもがムードを盛り上げて、最高でした。

ビーチから離れて海の上にいると、夕日を独り占めしているようで、これ以上の贅沢はないですね。

食事もおいしく、乗り合わせた人達も、船のスタッフも、みないい人ばかりだったので、このクルーズを心から楽しむことが出来ました。

いい思い出です。

The blue sea and the blue sky! It was the best day. I actually thought a sunset cruise would be nice, but due to scheduling, I ended up going with this one. But it was great!

Believe it or not, I saw dolphins! While I was gazing at the sea, I spotted them below... I was so excited! A sea with wild dolphins swimming is truly wonderful! I'm really glad I signed up. The view of Hawaii from the sea was also very beautiful, and even though it was just a one-hour cruise, I felt very fulfilled.

Next time, I want to sign up for a sunset cruise as well. I hope the captain is the same as this time...

青い海に青い空！最高の日でした。本当はサンセットクルーズもいいな、と思ったのですが、予定の関係で、こちらになりました。でも、よかったんです！
なんと、イルカが見えたんです！
海を眺めていたら、下の方をすーっと…
もう大興奮でした！野生のイルカが泳ぐ海なんて、ホント、すてきですね！
申し込んでよかったーって思いました。海の上から眺めるハワイの景色もとってもきれいで、たった１時間のクルーズなのに、充実した気持ちでした。
今度はサンセットクルーズも申し込みたいです。その時も、今回と同じキャプテンだと嬉しいな…。

I had so much fun that it didn't feel like just an hour. The Hawaiian sea, with its waves felt so close, was incredibly beautiful, and looking at Waikiki Beach from the water felt strangely wonderful. It was my first time on a catamaran, and it felt like a very stable boat, making for a comfortable ride. Honestly, I wished I could have stayed out on the water forever.

とても１時間とは思えないくらい楽しかったです。
波を近くに感じて進むハワイの海はとてもきれいで、ワイキキのビーチを海から眺めるのも何だか不思議な気持ちがしました。
カタマラン船というのも初めて乗りましたが、安定感があるボートっていう感じで、乗り心地もよかったですね。
本当はずっと海の上にいたいくらいでした。

We were just about to stay at the Hilton, so we decided to join the Hilton departure, and it was really great. After a day of sightseeing and taking a break at the hotel, we went in the evening, and the sunset viewed over the waves was exceptional. The cruise while having a meal was the best. I felt like I understood a bit of what it’s like to be a yachtsman (^^). Being on the yacht with my family, watching the waves, created a sense of unity, and it felt like our hearts became closer to each other. It was a very meaningful time. Thank you very much.

私たちは、ちょうどヒルトンに宿泊予定だったので、ヒルトン出発というので参加してみましたが、とてもよかったです。
一日観光して、ホテルでひと息ついてから、夕方行きましたが、波の上で眺める夕日はまた格別で、食事を食べたりしながらのクルーズは最高でした。
ヨットマンの気持ちが少しわかった気がします（^^）
家族で一緒にヨット（船？）に乗って波を眺めていると一体感というか、心がお互いにもっと近くなったような気がします。
とても有意義な時間でした。ありがとうございました。

Since I came to Hawaii, I wanted to fully enjoy the ocean, so I signed up for this evening cruise, and it was even more fun than I expected! The Spirit of Aloha was a bit of a larger boat, but the ride was fantastic, and the splashes of the waves felt great. Watching the sunset with a drink in hand was truly beautiful, and I felt like time was slipping away too quickly. I wished time would stop!

It was really amazing! This is an experience you shouldn't miss.

ハワイに来たからには海を満喫したかったので、この夕方の乗船に申し込んだのですが、思った以上に楽しかったです！
スピリット・オブ・アロハ号はちょっと大きめのボートっていう感じでしたが、乗り心地はサイコーで、波しぶきが気持ちよかったです。
飲み物片手に眺めるサンセットが、本当にキレイで、時間が過ぎるのがもったいないくらいでした。時が止まってほしいくらい！

本当にサイコーでした！これは体験しないと勿体ないですね。

My friend who was going with me wanted to choose between "Heavenly Sea" or an "Experience Swimming with Dolphins," and after looking into it, I felt a strong desire to see the "Heavenly Sea," so I decided to join this tour.

The sea was truly transparent, and I was moved!! It was so beautiful, and I really felt like I was in Hawaii. The staff were all very nice, and I think the cost performance is high. I definitely want to participate again the next time I come to Hawaii.

一緒に行く友達が「天国の海」か「イルカと一緒に泳ぐ体験」のどちらかをしたいと言っていて、調べてみたところ、「天国の海」を見たい！という気持ちが強かったので、こちらのツアーに参加しました。

海がホントに透明で感動しました！！
とーってもキレイで、ハワイに来た！という感じがしました。
スタッフの方も、皆さん良い方ばかりで、コストパフォーマンスは高いと思います。
また次回、ハワイに来る際も是非参加したいと思います。

The ocean in Waikiki is very beautiful, but the ocean in Kailua was exceptionally beautiful. However, the current was strong, so instead of swimming in the sea, we spent a relaxing time by the beach in the shade of the trees. The pizza for lunch was delicious! I would love to go back there when I visit Hawaii again.

ワイキキの海も非常にきれいですが
カイルアの海は格別にきれいでした。
ただ潮の流れが早く海で泳ぐというより
木陰などもあるのでのんびり海辺で過ごすという時間でした。
昼食のピザが美味しかったです！
またハワイに行ったら行きたいところです。

I had an amazing time at a large pool in Australia before, so I was determined to go to one in Hawaii this time.

I signed up for the cheapest tour, which only included admission and transportation, and it turned out to be a fantastic decision! I was able to focus entirely on enjoying the attractions without wasting time waiting in lines for things like food.

While bringing in anything other than water is prohibited, the entrance security seems to be lenient, possibly because they think Japanese group tourists have good manners, so I think snacks like potato chips would be fine.

The thrilling rides and attractions that I’ve never seen in Japan were, of course, fun, but it was also great to ride with locals and get a tan while waiting. Everything felt so much more vibrant and happy on an international scale.

Thanks to this experience, I came back quite tanned! I would love to go again if I have the chance!

以前オーストラリアでこういう大型プールに行きものすごい楽しかったので、今回もハワイで絶対にいこうと決めていました。

入場料と送迎だけの一番安いツアーに申し込んだのですが、結果大大大正解でした♪
余計な時間(ごはんなど)に並んだり気をとられることなくめいっぱいアトラクションに集中して楽しめました！
水以外のもちこみは禁止ですが、入場セキュリティが甘いというか、日本人団体客はマナーがいいと思っているらしく見過ごしてくれるので、ポテトチップスなど余裕だと思います。

日本ではみたことない絶叫系の怖いすべりだいや乗り物などはもちろん楽しいのですが、そこで現地の人と乗り合わせたり、待っている間に日焼けできたり、すべてが海外規模でハッピーでした。
おかげで帰ってきた今では真っ黒です！

また機会があれば行きたいですー！

I participated in the Sunrise Tour!
It was a bit tough getting up early, but the heavenly sea was truly beautiful!

The sandy beach appeared right in the middle of the ocean, and it was mystical☆
I was able to take great pictures with the sunrise in the background!

I also discovered many turtles, and they were so cute.
I was a bit anxious about snorkeling, but I enjoyed it!
It's a pity there were fewer fish than I imagined...

サンライズツアーで参加しました！
朝早くてちょっと大変でしたが、天国の海は本当にキレイ！

砂浜が海の真ん中に表れて、神秘的でした☆
朝日をバックに良い画が撮れましたよ！

かめさんもたくさん発見出来てかわいかったです。
シュノーケリングもちょっと不安でしたが、楽しめました！
魚は想像よりも少ないのがざんねん・・・

I have been to a Luau, Sunset Dinner Cruise, Dinner Show.. quite possibly all over O'ahu! This is by far, the best activity I have ever done. The crew was very friendly and informative..Most of them are interns so they actually do their job for free!

Once we board the Barefoot 1 which is actually a pretty small catamaran but don't let this discourage you because once your on your way to the submerged sandbar..everything is perfect! Imaginine drinking a nice cold refreshment and for you alcoholic drinkers, a nice beer, out in the middle of Kaneohe Bay. Sitting on the Sandbar with the nice breezy tradewinds while taking in all the beautiful views!! TALK ABOUT RELAXATION!!

Once we had our freshly grilled burger lunch at the sandbar, we head pass toward Turtle reef, where we saw at least 10 huge sea turtles! After our minor turtle watching session, the crew took us to a coral reef located at least half a mile away from the Sandbar location, we were the only vessel out there which m

We participated as a family. Since our children are small, we planned to skip snorkeling from the beginning, but we were very satisfied.

During the morning session, the water level was so high that the children couldn't reach it on their own, but it was still a very strange experience to be standing in the middle of the ocean.

Unfortunately, the weather wasn't very good, but as the guide explained, we were amazed by the change in the color of the sea from cloudy to sunny.

Also, seeing many sea turtles popping their heads up was a sight we had never seen before, and the kids were thrilled.

Although there wasn't a BBQ during the morning session, the meal provided was more than enough, and we were very satisfied.

The staff also made a great impression by working hard to ensure that participants had a good time.

Overall, we have no complaints.

家族で参加しました。
子供が小さいので最初からシュノーケリングはパスする前提での参加でしたが、大満足でした。

午前の部で、子供が自力でたどり着けないほど水位がある時間帯でしたが、それでも海の真ん中に地に足をつけている非常に不思議な空間でした。

運悪く天候があまり良くありませんでしたが、ガイドさんの説明どおり、曇り空から晴れた瞬間に変わる海の色には感激しました。

また、沢山のウミガメがかわるがわる顔を出す姿は始めて目にする光景で、子供たちも大喜びでした。

午前の部でBBQではありませんでしたが、十分な食事が提供されて大満足でした。

スタッフも参加者が楽しめるように一生懸命に対応してくれる姿も好印象。

トータルで文句なしです。

The facilities for children are well-equipped, and the kids had a great time. There are many types of slides, so even the smaller slides for young children have a reasonable wait time, even when crowded.

In addition to the slides, they also enjoyed water guns, mushrooms with flowing water, and shooting fountains.

Moreover, the waves in the wave pool were high, adding to the thrill.

However, since we visited on a Sunday, attractions meant for families had long lines, and we had to give up on some of them.

Also, since the pickup time was at 2:30 PM, I felt that a little more time would have been nice.

子供向けの施設が充実していて、子供たちは大いに楽しんでいました。
スライダーは種類も多いので小さな子供向けのスライダーも
混んでいてもそれ程長時間並ばなくても順番が回ってきます。

スライダーのほか水鉄砲や水の流れ落ちるキノコ、吹き上げる噴水なども楽しんでいました。

また、造波プールの波は高く、スリルを楽しんでいました。

ただ、参加した日が日曜日だったためか、家族で乗るよう
なアトラクションは長蛇の列で断念せざるを得ませんでした。

また、ピックアップ時間が14時30分でしたので
もう少し長くても良いかなと感じました。

Encountering sea turtles was a bit mysterious. As I quietly watched the surface of the sea, I saw turtles lifting their heads here and there. They were incredibly cute.

However, it was a little disappointing that, as I had known from the start, it was during a time when the tide was not completely out, so I couldn't see the sandbar like in the photos. Also, when I went snorkeling to the outer side of the reef, it seemed like there were fewer fish than I expected.

But the staff were very enjoyable and lively, which made for a satisfying experience.

　ウミガメとの遭遇。少しミステリアスでした。静かに海面を見ているとあちらこちらから頭を持ち上げるウミガメ。何ともかわいらしかったです。
　ただ、少し残念だったのは、これは当然、参加時からわかっていたことですが、完全に潮が引かない時間帯でしたので
写真のような砂洲が見られなかったこととシュノーケリングで環礁の外側まで行ったのですが、少し魚が少なかったように思いました。
　でも、スタッフの皆さんが非常に楽しく、盛り上げてくださり、満足のいくものでした。

what a fun time we had the food was very good.the show you cant miss this one,the service was excellent ,the sunset awsome.do not let this dinner cruise get away from you.....mahalo al n kathie becker

When I arrived at the meeting time, I was informed that the departure would be delayed by an hour, so we ended up waiting around the hotel area. In the promotional photos, there was a large catamaran with blue sails from Outrigger, but the actual boat we boarded was a smaller catamaran with pink sails, and it felt more like a family cruise with three staff members and about ten participants.

It was disappointing that there were no life vests available and that fins couldn't be rented, which limited our snorkeling experience. However, it was great to see many turtles up close.

After that, we cruised about an hour offshore. The wind felt nice, and the color of the sea became increasingly vibrant and beautiful. We went as far as the lighthouse past Diamond Head. We took motion sickness medication, so we were fine, but the boat was quite rocky, and a few people got seasick. The staff was very kind and provided water and ice to those who were feeling unwell. Next time, I would like to join a tour that focuses solely on cruising.

当日集合時間に行くと、１時間遅れでの出発と案内され、ホテル周辺で時間をつぶしての出発となりました。イメージ写真では、アウトリガーの青い帆の大きい目のカタマランでしたが、実際に乗ったのは、ピンクの帆の小さめのカタマランで、スタップ３名と参加者は１０名程度で家族クルーズのような小さいツアーとなりました。
ライフベストがなかったこと、足ひれがレンタルできないので思いっきりシュノーケルできないのは残念でした。ただ、たくさんのカメが近くで見れたのは良かったです。
その後は、１時間ほど沖までクルージングでした。風が気持よく、海の色がどんどん濃くなりとてもきれいでした。ダイアモンドヘッド先の灯台あたりまで行きました。私たちは酔い止めを飲んでいて大丈夫でしたが、揺れがすごくて数人の方が船酔いでダウンされていました。スタッフの対応はとても親切で体調の悪い方には、水や氷を渡したりされていました。次回は、クルージングのみのツアーに参加してみたいです。

I found this site before my trip, and it looked interesting, so I made a reservation and participated.

I had heard beforehand that there wouldn't be any Japanese participants, but I thought it would be fine and went without hesitation, only to find that we were indeed the only Japanese people there.

However, since everyone was just travelers from different places, we all got along well and enjoyed ourselves without much concern.

Personally, I can hardly speak English, but the staff member was friendly and nice, so I thoroughly enjoyed both the cruising and snorkeling!

The snorkeling spot was off the coast of Waikiki, about 10 meters deep, and there were plenty of fish and sea turtles.

I brought a waterproof digital camera, but I struggled to take good pictures of the sea turtles swimming nearby. Fortunately, a crew member who looked like a dolphin took some really beautiful photos for me.

There were no fins available for rent, just masks and snorkels, and swimming was limited to around the yacht, so it might not be enough for those who are into diving, but beginners can definitely have a great time (which was the case for my wife and me). Everyone participating was in the same boat.

After that, we enjoyed cruising while sailing back to Waikiki, heading towards Diamond Head.

This trip created unforgettable and enjoyable memories.

Since we finished around 10 AM, it was easy to plan our next activities.

I believe breakfast snacks were supposed to be included in the package, but we didn't quite understand the system and missed out. After we got back, we changed at the hotel and had breakfast (or maybe it was brunch?) at Island Vintage Cafe in the Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center, enjoying acai bowls before heading out to Kailua.

You might want to double-check about breakfast???

Also, there are several Outrigger Hotels in Waikiki, so make sure not to confuse the meeting location... (we made that mistake).

Anyway, it was a fantastic time, and I highly recommend it!

旅行前にこのサイトで知って、面白そうなので予約して参加しました。


事前情報で、日本人の参加者がいないって聞いていたものの、なんとかなるかな~と思って、ためらわず行ってみたら、本当に日本人は僕たちだけでした。

しかし、まあ所詮みんないろんなとこからやってきた旅行者同士の似たもの同士なので、あんま気兼ねなく思い思いに楽しんでいます。


個人的に英語はほとんど喋れないけれど、スタッフの兄ちゃんが気さくでいい人だったので、クルージングとシュノーケリングともに満喫させていただきました！！


シュノーケリングのポイントはワイキキの沖、水深１０ｍくらいで、魚や海亀がいっぱいいました。

防水デジカメ持参で行ったのですが、近くで泳ぐ海亀をなかなかうまく写真に収められず苦戦してたら、クリューのイルカみたいな兄ちゃんがすごく綺麗に撮ってくれました。

フィンのレンタルはなく、マスク、シュノーケルのみのレンタルでヨットの周りのみの遊泳なので、ダイビングやっている人には物足りないかもしれませんが、初心者でも十分楽しめます。（まさに今回の自分と妻がそうでした。まあ、参加している人みんな一緒です。）


その後はダイヤモンドヘッド沖まで帆走でクルージングを楽しみつつワイキキに戻りました。



今回の旅行の忘れられない楽しい思い出です。



午前１０時上がりなので、その後の予定も組みやすいです。


パックに軽食の朝ごはんが付いているはずだったのですが、僕らはシステムがよくわからず食いそびれたので、上がった後、ホテルで着替えて、ロイヤルハワイアンショッピングセンターのアイランドビンテージカフェでアサイボウルで朝食（？）を済ませて、カイルアに遊びに行きました。

朝食のとこは要確認かも？？？


あと、アウトリガーホテルはワイキキに何箇所かあるので、集合場所は間違えなきよう。。。。（うちは間違えた）




ともあれ、最高のひと時でした、かなりお勧めですよ！！

It was convenient to participate in the cruise from Waikiki.
No Japanese was understood at all.
The snorkeling time is about one hour.
There were no life jackets available for rent.
You can borrow something like a long tube.
On the way there, we saw a turtle, and on the way back, we saw dolphins.
I think it's good for those who understand English and are good at swimming.

　ワイキキからクルーズできるのが便利で参加しました。
日本語はまったく通じません。
　シュノーケルの時間は1時間位です。
ライフジャケットの貸し出しはありませんでした。
細長い筒のようなものは借りられます。
　行きにはカメ、帰りにはイルカが見えました。
英語がわかって、泳ぎが得意の方には良いと思います。

There were many slides that you can't find in Japan, and it was very fun.
I don't like roller coasters, but I was able to enjoy them while being a bit scared.
For smokers, there is a designated smoking area, so you can feel at ease.

There is a place to buy food near the lockers, and most menu items were around $10 (like the fries set).
If you order a single item, I think the cheeseburger was the cheapest at around $5...

For women, there were simple spaces for toilets, showers, and changing clothes☆
(I heard that men didn't have showers.)

So, you can change!
The lockers are large and cost $18.
You get $5 back when you return.

Please be careful as it can be cold inside the bus!

日本にはないスライダーの数々で、とても面白かったです。
ジェットコースター嫌いな私ですが、びびりながら楽しめました。
喫煙者の方は、喫煙スペースがあるので安心して下さい。

食事はロッカー近くに購入するところがあって、大体が約１０ドルのメニューでした。（ポテトのセット）
単品だとたしかチーズバーガーが一番安くて５ドル位だったような・・・

女性は、トイレ・シャワー・着替える簡易的なスペースがありましたよ☆
（男性は確か、シャワーがなかったと言っていました。）

なので、着替えられます！
ロッカーが大きいロッカーで１８ドルです。
帰りに５ドルバックがあります。

バスの車内は寒いので気をつけてください！

I participated in the "Secret Sandbar Exploration & Snorkeling Tour." The staff member (a sun-kissed idol?!) took some amazing photos for us. It was a perfect situation for our family to experience a gravure photo shoot model. Thank you very much.

［秘密のサンドバー散策&シュノーケリングツアー］に参加させていただきました。
とにかくスタッフのお姉様（小麦色のアイドル？！）に、、、
素晴らしい写真を撮っていただきました。
我が家的にはグラビア撮影モデル体験も出来た絶好のシュチュエーションでした。ありがとうございました。

The dreamlike sandbar was amazing. Three years ago, I participated in a tour filled with activities in Kaneohe Bay. I heard there was a sandbar very close by, but I couldn't imagine it at all. When I actually went there, I realized it was very close to the previous location. I understood that the sandbar is right in the middle of the ocean.

The highlight of such tours is the personality of the staff. Everyone was so natural, blending into the Hawaiian atmosphere, which made it really enjoyable and allowed me to participate in a relaxed manner.

あこがれのサンドバー最高でした。３年前、カネオヘ湾でアクティビティー三昧のツアーに参加。そのすぐ近くにサンドバーがあると聞いて、全く想像がつかず。
実際行ってみると、前回の場所から非常に近い場所。それだけサンドバーは海の真中にあることを認識しました。
このようなツアーのポイントは、スタッフの人柄。みなさん、ハワイの空気に溶け込むような自然体の感じで、すごく楽しく、リラックスして参加できました。

This time, I visited Kauai Island for the first time. The boat ride to the Fern Grotto was a fun trip filled with singing and laughter. Many of the guides are older, making it a more relaxed tour, so I would recommend it to mature couples rather than young people. The atmosphere along the coastline felt similar to the North Shore of Oahu. It's an early start, but you'll be back by the evening, so it’s not tiring.

今回、初めてカウワイ島に行ってきました。
シダの洞窟に行く際の船の中も、歌あり笑いありの楽しい笑旅行でした。
ガイドさんなどは、お年を召されている方が多く落ち着いたツアーですので、若者よりは熟年カップルにお勧めです。
海岸線の雰囲気などは、オアフ島で言うと、ノースショアに似ている感じがしました。
朝早いですが、夕方には戻ってこられるので疲れません。

It was the most difficult activity to book in Hawaii. There are several sandbar plans offered by multiple companies, so I recommend making reservations early. At the sandbar, I enjoyed taking photos and snorkeling, but the plan I chose felt a bit short (about 30 minutes, I think), and the kids seemed to want to play a little longer.

I thought it would be good to plan accordingly, enjoying marine sports like snorkeling at Hanauma Bay and participating at the sandbar mainly for taking photos at this uniquely beautiful spot. The staff were friendly, and there were Japanese speakers, so I felt completely at ease without any language barriers.

It required careful consideration on how to spend the limited days in Hawaii, whether to enjoy the beautiful scenery or prioritize the kids' fun. I felt I could have planned a bit better. However, I think I was able to take many great photos. I say "think" because I used a film camera instead of a digital one. At the sandbar, I recommend using a disposable waterproof camera instead of a digital one, as there's no worry about it getting submerged.

ハワイのアクティビティでもっとも予約が困難なものでした。
Alan1さんの中でもいくつものサンドバープランが複数の催行会社から企画されているのでこれは早めの予約をお勧めします。
サンドバーでは、写真撮影やシュノーケリングを楽しみましたが、私の選択したプランは、時間が短く（実感としては30分くらいかなあ）、子供たちは、もう少し長く遊びたかったようです。
ハナウマ湾でシュノーケリングなどのマリンスポーツを楽しんで、サンドバーはこの世界的にも珍しいポイントとして写真に残すなどの目的で参加するなど、使い分けて計画したらよいかと思いました。
スタッフの方は親切で、日本人もいましたので、言葉の面で不自由なことは一切なく安心して楽しめました。
ハワイでの限られた日数をどのように過ごすか、きれいな景色を楽しむのか、子供たちの楽しみを優先するのか、十分な検討が必要でした。ちょっと検討不足でした。
でも、たくさんよい写真が取れたと思います。思いますというのはデジカメではなく、フィルムカメラで撮影したためです。
サンドバーでは、デジカメよりも使い捨ての防水カメラの方が水没させる心配もないのでお勧めします。

We have been on several dinner cruises in the Chicago area. This cruise was by far the best. It was a perfect way to finish up our vacation. The meal was very good. The crew was friendly and efficient. The entertainment was alot of fun - I wish that part of the experience lasted longer. We were just getting into the groove when the boat pulled into the dock.
Well worth the money.

We participated as a family.
There were many inflatable slide attractions, and even the adults had a lot of fun.
It’s a primitive system where you receive an inflatable ring from those who have finished and carry it back to the starting position yourself.
The BBQ chicken was delicious, but it felt like a waste of time to eat.
It was disappointing that the attractions were suddenly interrupted, possibly due to staff breaks or inspections.
The wave pool had waves that were almost painfully strong, which was entertaining.
The kids were thrilled and said they want to go again.

家族で参加しました。
浮き輪のスライダーが多くあり、大人もかなり楽しめました。
終わった人から浮き輪をもらい、自分達でスタート位置まで運ぶという原始的なシステムです。
ＢＢＱはチキンが美味しかったですが、食べる時間も勿体ないくらいでした。
スタッフの休憩時間なのか、点検なのか、突然アトラクションが中断されるのが残念でした。
波のプールは痛いくらい強い波で、面白かったです。
子供は大喜びで、また行きたいそうです。

We participated as a family of four, and the sandbar was beautifully exposed, making it absolutely stunning. There weren't many fish while snorkeling, but we were able to spot about ten sea turtles from the boat, which made the kids very happy. On the way back, it was a bit cold due to the strong wind, but I definitely want to go back to that beautiful paradise of a sea again.

家族４人で参加しましたが、ちょうどサンドバーも綺麗に
でていて最高に綺麗でした。
シュノーケルはそんなに魚はいっぱいいませんでしたが、船からは海亀も１０匹くらい見つけられて子供たちも大喜びでした。
帰りは風が強くて少し寒かったですが、とっても綺麗な天国の海また是非行きたいです。

We loved:
- we could walk to it
-that it was short and to the point
-the food was better than any other luau we have been to
-they had a kids table for the buffet with finger foods
-We paid extra to sit in the front and one of our kids got picked to go up on stage and be in a competition.
-It really was a family luau. People weren't drunk and the dancers didn't do anything embarrassing

-We didn't love:
-The chairs were cheap, weak, and wobbly.
-The family next to us was so close we had to touch arms and legs to scoot our chairs in
-We felt packed in like a herd of cows waiting for a buffet
-the drink ticket system is poorly run. My kids had water and they were asked for a drink ticket. They only had a short list of about 5 drinks and they would not make virgin drinks.
-The parking lot view sucks. We did not get any good pictures and at Germains and Paradise Cove and the Polynesian Cultural Center you will get the best photos that you will treasure all of your lif
