Oahu
I am so happy that I was able to participate on this activity - it was WONDERFUL! I loved my Cousin Lloyd who was my group guide... everyone was wonderful, friendly, informative, and very respectful of their responsibilities - portraying to us the visitors a part of history and sharing of their culture. Everyone was funny, attentive and kind. I loved it! I will definitely do this again for my future visits. The Luau was delicious and Ha: The Breath of Life was incredible... too bad the video was not available for me to bring for my family to see in AZ. A big thanks for everyone that makes this possible from funding, to costumes, practices, etc... I truly appreciate all the work and effort involved in this. God bless!
Loved the sand bar, and the Captain was kind of eccentric. Took us to turtle reef, then snorkeling. Staff was very friendly. Would recommend this adventure.
Since it's far from the city center, it's better to leave your accommodation early to enjoy it. There are many slides that can be enjoyed by both children and adults.
中心部からは遠いので、早めに滞在先を出て行かれる方が楽しめます。子供から大人まで楽しめるスライダーが沢山あります。
I have been on a catamaran several times and I really love it. This time, I had my father, who is over 60, ride it for the first time. Just before departure, thick clouds appeared, which was quite disappointing, but it seems that the charm of the catamaran cutting through the wind on the open sea was conveyed to my father. While the sunset time is nice, I personally recommend the daytime more. Under the sun, with a delicious drink in hand, relaxing to cheerful music and the rhythm of the waves... it's the best! The staff at the reception can speak Japanese.
カタマランは何度か乗ったことがあり、すごく気に入ってます。
今回は60過ぎの父にも初めて乗ってもらいました。
出発寸前に厚い雲が出てきてしまい、かなり残念でしたが、風を切って海原を走るカタマランの良さは、父にも伝わったようです。
サンセットの時間もいいですが、私としては昼間の方がお勧めです。
太陽の下、おいしいドリンク片手に陽気な音楽と波のリズムに身を任せてのんびり…最高!
受付の人は日本語が話せます。
I was amazed by the white world as far as the eye could see. Hawaii is famous for surfing, so I was impressed to find such a tranquil sea. The scenery was so fantastical that I felt like I was in a commercial. The hamburger patty for lunch was grilled by the staff on the boat!!! It was not only delicious but also quite filling, which made me satisfied. The fact that non-alcoholic drinks were unlimited felt like a great deal. We snorkeled a little away from the sandbar, and I was moved to hear that the coral reef was alive. This spot had many fish, and the coral was beautiful. I swam with fins, which made it easy to move and felt great. We then changed locations to see sea turtles. My digital camera ran out of battery halfway through, so I had to use a disposable underwater camera. As the guide said, the turtles come up for air, which is quite cute!!! I was worried about whether I could capture that adorable moment, but I managed to take photos of the swimming turtles. I also saw turtles on the beach during a different tour, but since they weren't moving, it was a bit disappointing. I was excited to see swimming turtles up close for the first time.
Also, since there were many non-Japanese tourists, I really felt like I was abroad. The explanations were given in both Japanese and English. Perhaps because I received the explanation in Japanese first, I felt like I could understand the English explanation as well. That aspect was refreshing, and I had an incredibly satisfying experience. I think this tour is enjoyable for everyone, from children to the elderly!
見渡す限り、白い世界で驚きました。
ハワイはサーフィンとかが有名なので、こんなにも静かな海があるのかと感動しました。
本当に自分がCMに出演してるんじゃないかと思えるくらい幻想的な光景に酔ってしまいました。
昼食で食べるハンバーガーのハンバーグも、ボートの上でスタッフがグリルしてました!!!匂いだけじゃなく食べても美味でそこそこボリュームもあり満足。ノンアルコールドリンクなら飲み放題ってとこもお得な感じがしました。サンドバーから少し動いたところでシュノーケルをするのですが、珊瑚礁が生きているときいて感動しました。こちらのポイントは魚も多く、珊瑚礁も美しかったです。フィンを付けて泳いだので、結構進むし気持ちよかったです。またポイントを変えて、ウミガメも見に行きました。デジカメの電池が途中でなくなってしまったので、使い捨ての水中カメラでの撮影となりました。ガイドさんの言うとおり、カメは息継ぎで顔を上げるんです。ちょっと可愛いです!!!その愛らしい瞬間を写せたかどうか心配でしたが、泳いでるカメを写真に残すことができてました。違うツアーで、浜辺にいるカメも見学しましたが、動きがないので微妙でした。今回初めて泳いでいるカメを間近で見ることができたので興奮しました。
あと、ツアー客は日本人じゃない方が多かったせいか、海外に来てるって実感がありました。説明も日本語と英語と分けて行われます。最初に日本語で説明を受けているせいか、英語の説明も理解出来るような気になれました。そんなところも新鮮で良い体験が出来たと超満足しています。お子さんからお年寄りまで、誰でも楽しめるツアーだと思います♪
We wanted to do something special for our Anniversary. We're celebrating 6 years. We've never done anything like this.
Taking the Navatek was a nice experience.
We had the best seat. We recommend paying extra for the window seat its worth it. And the Sunset was soo Awesome. I was worried about getting sea sick I'm sorta sensitive, But I was uneffected. I did not get sick :)
I've lived in Hawaii my whole life and my Husband has been here for over 10 years so we see beautiful senaery everyday, And I've danced hula and tahitian Yet, Its just nice to get away and enjoy Hawaii for yourself...
We had a Great Time and would Do it Again :)
Maybe next time we'll take my Mom in Law I think she'd love it!
I recently participated in this tour and would like to report on a couple of concerns I had.
1. At the departure from Honolulu Airport, I was the only one called out to receive an explanation from the local staff in Kauai. It seemed that I was the youngest participant, so they said something like, "You there, the youngest one, come over here," and I was the only one who received the explanation while the other participants were left out. I believe they intended for me to guide all the participants once we arrived. It is quite unsettling that only one participant was given an explanation based solely on being the youngest, and I think it would be a problem if something happened and only one person knew the details. Regardless of being the youngest, I am not the tour guide; I am just a customer.
2. Upon arriving in Kauai, I was supposed to meet the local staff near baggage claim as per the instructions in point 1, but we could not see them at all, which made everyone very anxious. Since I was the only one with information about the meeting, I ended up having to call the contact number for Roberts listed on the voucher. When I called, I was told to "contact the office directly in Kauai," and they provided me with the contact information, so I called the Roberts office in Kauai again. During that exchange, another participant managed to find the late local staff, and we were able to resolve the situation. The anxiety and helplessness of not being able to meet the local staff in a place where everyone was visiting for the first time was significant. I would have appreciated it if the local staff had sincerely apologized for their lateness. I felt like I wanted a refund for the phone call I made to the office.
The rest of the tour went smoothly, and the staff's handling during the tour was fine. However, I wanted to report these two points because I hope that other participants do not have to experience what we did.
先日こちらのツアーに参加しました。
2つほど気になったことがありましたので報告します。
1.ホノルル空港出発時に、カウアイ島現地スタッフとの待ち合わせについてなぜか私だけ呼び出され説明を受けました。参加者の中でどうやら私が一番若かったようなので、「そこのあなた、一番若いからちょっとこっちに来て」といった具合に他の参加者をおいて私にしか説明をされませんでした。おそらく現地に着いて私に参加者全員の誘導を行わせるつもりだったのだと思います。若いという理由だけで参加者一人にだけ説明をしないというのはとても不安がありますし、何かあったときに一人しか詳細を知らないのでは問題だと思いました。そしていくら一番若いからといって私はツアーの誘導係ではありません。一顧客です。
2.カウアイ島に到着して、1の指示通りbaggage claimあたりで待機しているはずの現地スタッフと合流する予定だったのですが、いっこうに姿が見えず全員がとても不安になりました。待ち合わせについては私しか情報を知らないため、結局私がバウチャーに記載されているロバーツの連絡先に電話をかけるはめに。電話をしたところ「直接カウアイ島にオフィスに問い合わせて」とのことで連絡先を教えられ、再度カウアイ島のロバーツオフィスに電話をかけました。そのやり取りの間、何とか別の参加者が遅刻した現地スタッフを見つけることができ事なきを得ました。全員が初めて来る場所で現地スタッフと合流できなかったときの不安や心細さはとても大きいものです。現地スタッフも遅れて来たことについて素直に詫びてほしかったです。オフィスへかけた電話代を返してほしい気持ちでした。
その後のツアーはスムーズに進みました。ツアー中のスタッフの方の対応も問題なかったです。ただ、上記の2点だけ私たちのような経験を他の参加者の方々にはしてほしくなく、ご報告させていただきます。
I participated with my 6-year-old son.
We could see the sea turtles swimming perfectly.
We were able to borrow a snorkeling set for kids, so we had a great time exploring underwater.
The hamburgers grilled on the boat were incredibly delicious.
My little one went back for seconds and was called a glutton.
6歳の息子と二人で参加。
海がめの泳ぐのもばっちり見えました。
子供用のシュノーケリングセットも借りられたので楽しく海中散歩ができました。
船上で焼いてくれたハンバーガーはめちゃうまです。
チビはおかわりしてくいしんぼうと呼ばれてました。
This is my third time in Hawaii, but it was my first time participating in a sandbar tour. I heard it was featured in a TV commercial, and the water was truly clear with a wonderful view. I thought it was sand, but I learned that it was coral that had been eroded, which explains the high transparency.
At first, I practiced snorkeling, and when we moved to the coral reef, I was able to dive in smoothly. However, the water was a bit cold. At the coral reef, I was able to see a lot of fish. The day before, I went on a different tour to see sea turtles on the beach. Naturally, they were not moving, and I was happy to see them up close, but the sea turtles I saw at the sandbar were swimming, which was exciting in a way! The way the turtles surfaced was very impressive, and I was satisfied with the photos I took.
The cheeseburger for lunch was also very delicious, and since the non-alcoholic drinks were all-you-can-drink, I felt it was a good deal. There were really many guests who were not Japanese, which made me feel like I was abroad. I had a great experience chatting in broken English and enjoying the atmosphere.
ハワイは3度目ですがサンドバーのツアーには初めて参加しました。
テレビCMにも使用されたと説明がありましたが、本当に水が透明で素晴らしい光景でした。
砂だと思っていましたが珊瑚が削られて出現したと聞き、そのおかげで透明度が高いのかと納得です。
最初、シュノーケルの練習をしたこともあり、珊瑚礁の方に移動した際も、すんなり臨めました。ただ、ちょっと水が冷たかったです。珊瑚礁の方は魚もたくさん見ることが出来ました。
前日に違うツアーで浜辺にいる海カメを見に行きました。
当然のことながら動きがなく、近くで見れたのは嬉しかったのですが、サンドバーで見た海カメは泳いでいるので、或る意味興奮しました!!!カメが水面に顔を出す仕草がとても印象的で、写真も上手く撮れて満足です。
ランチのチーズバーガーもとても美味しくて、ノンアルコールドリンクは飲み放題だったため、お得に感じました。
本当に日本人以外のお客さんも多く、海外にきているという気分も味わえ、片言の英語で会話をしたりなど、よい体験が出来ました。
This was our second trip to Hawaii, with my 53-year-old husband and me, who is 51. This time, we were really looking forward to the sandbar and our first snorkeling experience.
The pickup location was not our hotel but the lobby of a nearby hotel. We waited for about 20 minutes, which made me a bit anxious, but finally, our guide arrived. When our names were called and we boarded the microbus, I noticed that there were only a few Japanese people, and most of the group was from Australia. The guide, who was very cheerful, was not Japanese but seemed to be a local, and all the instructions and explanations on the way to the harbor were in English. Most of the guides for optional tours in Hawaii are either Japanese or Japanese-speaking Nikkei, so even though we were in a foreign country, I felt excited to finally be immersed in English.
When we arrived at the harbor, another large bus had already arrived, and we joined that group. They had a cute Japanese girl as their guide. On the boat, there were about 40 people, roughly half Japanese and half from other countries. With the captain and three staff members, we set off. We received various instructions, including how to use the snorkeling gear, in both Japanese and English as we arrived at the sandbar.
Unfortunately, even at the most exciting spot, the water was only about 20 centimeters deep, and it didn’t look like the pictures I had seen. However, even in the deeper areas, the water was only up to my waist or chest. We practiced snorkeling for about an hour, played beach volleyball, and everyone seemed to be having a great time. Of course, even small children were perfectly fine; you could stand in the middle of the ocean. It was amazing.
What impressed me next was the big hamburger made with patties grilled by the captain on the deck. It was very delicious.
Unfortunately, during the actual snorkeling after we moved to another spot, I couldn’t muster the courage and just watched everyone swimming from the boat, enjoying the scenery. Even so, it felt wonderful and was a lot of fun. Next time, I will definitely challenge myself to try snorkeling.
53歳の夫と51歳の私の2回目のハワイ。今回はサンドバーと初シュノーケルをとても楽しみにしていました。
お迎え場所は宿泊しているホテルではなく、近くのホテルのロビー。20分程待たされ少々不安ではありましたが、やっとガイドさんが到着。名前を呼ばれて、マイクロバスに乗り込むと、日本人らしき人は少しで、殆どがオーストラリアの方でした。とても愉快なガイドさんも日本人ではなく地元の方のようで、港までの案内も説明もオール英語。ハワイでのオプショナルツアーのガイドさんは殆どが日本語の喋れる日系の方か日本人ですよね。異国アメリカに来ているのに、英語に触れる機会が少ない中、私はやっと外国に来た感じがしてワクワクしました。
港に着くと、もう一台の大きなバスが先に到着していて合流。そちらの方にはカワイイ日本人の女の子のガイドさんでした。ボートには日本人と他の国の方がだいたい半々で、全員で40人位でしたでしょうか。ボートを運転する船長さん?とスタッフ3人で出発。日本語と英語に分かれて、シュノーケルの使い方を含むいろいろな説明を聞きながらサンドバーに到着。
あいにく一番盛り上がっている所でも海面の下20センチ位で、写真で見たような感じではなかったけれど、その周辺は深い所でも小柄な私の腰や胸辺り。約1時間シュノーケルの練習をしたり、ビーチバレーをしたり、みなさんとても楽しそうでした。もちろん小さな子供さんもぜんぜん大丈夫です。海のど真ん中で足が着くんですよ。感動です。
私がその次に感動したのは、デッキで船長さんが焼いてくれたパティを挟んでの大きなハンバーガー。とてもおいしかったです。
残念ながら、その後移動してからの本番のシュノーケルは、勇気が出なくて、船上から泳いでいるみんなの楽しそうな風景を眺めていました。それでもとっても気持ちが良く、楽しかった。次回は必ずシュノーケル挑戦します。
When I first signed up for this tour, I didn't really know what to expect, but I learned that a sandbar is a shallow area formed by waves eroding coral out in the ocean. It was quite mysterious to see a white sandy beach floating in the middle of the sea, but it was very beautiful. We played beach volleyball on the sandy beach in the middle of the ocean, walked around, and practiced snorkeling. I think it's a unique experience that you can't have often. After that, we went turtle watching from the boat and snorkeled in another location, making it a three-in-one experience. We also had homemade hamburgers for lunch on the boat, which were very delicious. I think this tour is highly recommended for those who are snorkeling for the first time or have a short stay.
最初このツアーに申し込んだときは、どんなツアーかよくわからないで参加していたのですが、サンドバーとは海の沖に波でサンゴが削られてできた浅瀬だそうです。白浜が海の真ん中にぽっかりうかびあがっているのはとても不思議は感じでしたが、とてもきれいでした。海の真ん中の砂浜でビーチバレーをしたり、歩きまわってみたり、シュノーケリングの練習をしたり。なかなかできない体験だと思います。そのあとは船の上からカメウォッチングをし、別の場所でシュノーケリングをしたり、一度で3度おいしい感じです。ランチも手作りハンバーグを船上で食べ、とてもおいしかったです。初めてシュノーケリングをされる方や、滞在が短い方にはお勧めのツアーだと思います。
I have visited Hawaii several times, but this was my first time going to the sandbar. I was very surprised to find a shallow sandy beach in just a part of the offshore area. I learned that it was a shallow area formed by coral being eroded by the waves, and it was very mystical. I heard it is also used in commercials in Japan. It was delicious to make my own hamburger from a grilled patty on the boat. Watching sea turtles from the boat and snorkeling for quite a long time was also a lot of fun. Since you can enjoy various activities at once, I think it's great for those visiting Hawaii for a short period.
ハワイには何度か訪れていますが、今回初めてサンドバーへいきました。沖合の一部だけ浅瀬の砂浜があるのにはとても驚きました。波でサンゴが削られて出現した浅瀬とのことですが、とても神秘的でした。日本のコマーシャルでも使われているとのことです。船の上で焼いたハンバーグを自分でハンバーガにして食べたのはとてもおいしかったです。船上からウミガメをウォッチングしたり、シュノーケリングもかなり長い時間できたので、とても楽しかったです。一度にいろいろ楽しめるので、短期間でハワイを訪れる方にはよいと思います。
We went to Hawaii for our honeymoon, and I thought if we're going to the ocean, it should be a beautiful place! So, we joined this monitor tour. The weather was great, and the sea was incredibly beautiful with scenery I had never seen before, which was truly moving.
However, when we arrived at the shallow area, it seemed to be slightly high tide, so the sandbar wasn't visible. But the water was about waist-deep, so we played beach volleyball together without worrying about the country we were in. It was a rare experience to play beach volleyball in the ocean! I had so much fun.
It was also great to see fish while snorkeling. The cheeseburger we had for lunch in the middle of the sea was exceptional! I was a bit disappointed that I could only see a turtle swimming from a distance. However, it was so much more beautiful than Waikiki Beach, so if I have the chance to go to Hawaii again, I would love to go back!
ハネムーンでハワイに行き、海に行くなら綺麗なところで!と思い、こちらのモニターツアーに参加しました。
天気も良くてすごく海が綺麗で今まで見たことない景色で感動しました☆
ただ、浅瀬に到着したんですが、微妙に満潮だったみたいでサンドバーは浮かび上がってませんでした。。
でも、腰ぐらいの高さだったので、コートをはって国なんか関係なくみんなでバレーをしました♬
海の中でビーチバレーするなんて貴重な体験でした!
すごく楽しかったです♬
シュノーケルでも魚が普通に見れて良かったです☆
ランチのチーズバーガーも海の真ん中で食べれて格別でした!
海がめは遠目に泳いでるのが少し見えただけだったのでちょっと残念でしたが・・。
ワイキキビーチとは比べ物にならないくらい綺麗だったので次ハワイに行くことがあったらまた行きたいです☆
I participated because I wanted to see the sand beach. There really is a sand beach! The water suddenly became shallow, and I experienced the wonders of nature.
I enjoyed snorkeling in the coral reef area, turtle watching, and cruising, which allowed me to fully enjoy the sea.
The hamburger I had on the boat was also delicious.
I felt that having about 100 people on two boats was a bit too crowded.
サンドビーチを見てみたくて、参加しました。
本当にサンドビーチってあるんですね。いきなり海が浅くなっていて、自然の不思議さを体感さきました。
さんご礁地域でのシュノーケリング、亀ウォッチング、クルージングと、海を満喫できて楽しかったです。
船上で食べたハンバーガーもおいしかったです。
2艘の船で約100人というのは、ちょっと人が多すぎだと感じました。
I was impressed by the sandbar, which was only knee-deep and located in the middle of the ocean, and it was beautiful! My wife, who was snorkeling for the first time during the upcoming sea turtle watching, was a bit anxious at first, but it seemed she really enjoyed practicing snorkeling in the shallow, beautiful sandbar and the sparkling white sand underwater. Although it wasn't during our time, there are times when the sandbar appears like a path from the seabed due to the tides. I definitely want to walk that path the next time we participate.
After enjoying the sandbar, we had lunch with hamburgers that the captain grilled, and we made our own burgers with our favorite toppings. They were quite filling and satisfying even for men! Alcohol was available for purchase, but it was convenient that soft drinks were free to drink at any time.
We then moved to the sea turtle point and started watching. The fish (tropical fish?) were more noticeable than the sea turtles, but the sight of the fish swimming right in front of us was stunning! I would like to participate again the next time I go to Hawaii.
海の真ん中に膝までくらいの深さしかない、しかも綺麗な海、サンドバーに感動しました!
後に控えるウミガメウォッチングでのシュノーケリングが初体験の妻は、はじめ少々不安気味でしたがこの浅い綺麗なサンドバーでシュノーケルを練習し水中で白く光る砂浜を存分に楽しんでいたようです。私たちの参加した時間ではありませんでしたが、潮の満ち引きの関係で砂浜が一本の道のように海底から現れる時間帯もあるようです。次回参加する際はぜひその道を歩いてみたいものです。
サンドバーを満喫した後、昼食にはキャプテンが焼いてくれたハンバーグで自分たちで好きな具材を入れてハンバーガーを作りました。なかなかボリュームがあり男性でも満足できました!アルコールは有料でしたが、ソフトドリンクはいつでも飲み放題だったのも便利でした。
その後ウミガメポイントに移動し、ウォッチング開始。ウミガメより魚(熱帯魚?)の方が目立っていましたが、目の前に泳ぐ魚群が圧巻でした!!
次にハワイに行く際にも参加したいと思いました。
There was indeed a place where you can walk in knee-deep water in the middle of the ocean. We had time to play beach volleyball and practice snorkeling, and during that time, they were grilling hamburger patties on the boat.
We had lunch on the boat while moving to the sea turtle watching spot, where we each took bread, hamburgers, fruits, and salad in an assembly line.
After that, we went snorkeling in deeper waters. They provided life jackets, snorkeling gear, and fins, so everyone could swim once they were equipped.
We had about an hour to play. They fed the fish, so there were many fish nearby.
海の真ん中で膝くらいの水面で歩ける場所が本当にありました。
ビーチバレーやシュノーケリング練習をする時間があって、その間に船の上ではハンバーガーの肉を焼いてくれていました。
流れ作業で各自パン、ハンバーガー、フルーツ、サラダを取って海ガメウオッチングまで移動している間に船上でランチをします。
その後深い海のところでシュノーケリングです。
ライフジャケット、シュノーケリング用具、足ひれを貸してくれるのでそれぞれつけた人から泳いでいけます。
1時間ほど遊ぶ時間があります。
餌付けをしてくれるので近くに魚がたくさんいました。
I wanted to see the sandbar at least once, so I joined this tour. During the cruise, the staff provided interesting explanations about how the sandbar was formed, which increased my enjoyment. The activities at the sandbar, snorkeling in the coral reef area, and watching the fish while floating were all uniquely enjoyable experiences that you can only have in Hawaii. The lunch we had on the boat (hamburger) was simple but very delicious, and I was extremely satisfied. I had a very fun day.
サンドバーを一度見てみたいと思い、このツアーに参加しました。
クルーズ中には、サンドバーがなぜ出来たのかなど、興味深い説明がスタッフからあり、楽しみが倍増しました。
サンドバーでの海遊び、さんご礁エリアでのシュノーケリング、ぷかぷかと泳ぐウォッチング、すべてがハワイならではの楽しさで、良かったです。
船の上で食べたランチ(ハンバーガー)もシンプルだけどとてもおいしくて大満足でした。
とても楽しい1日を過ごせました。
A fantastic pod of dolphins appeared right nearby, and I was so excited! I was thrilled to see multiple dolphin spins right in front of me, along with a baby dolphin, and I even got to hear the dolphins' "squeaks." I was completely satisfied! In addition to the dolphins, there were sea turtles and beautiful fish, and in the distance, I could see whales swimming—what an emotional experience! I truly had a wonderful time. The staff were all bright, kind, and full of service spirit! They even performed hula dancing and played the ukulele.
最高なイルカの群れがすぐ近くに現れ、大興奮!
目の前繰り広げられる何回ものイルカのスピンジャンプ、イルカの赤ちゃん、終いには「キューキュー」というイルカの声まで聞け大満足でした!
イルカの他にもウミガメやきれいな魚達、さらに遠くにはクジラも泳いでおり感動の連続!本当に幸せな一時を過ごすことができました。
スタッフも皆さん明るく優しくサービス精神旺盛!フラダンスやウクレレを披露してくれました。
Waking up early was worth it! I had a truly wonderful experience. After praying and throwing flowers into the sea, we set off! Dolphins appeared right away. During snorkeling, they swam close enough to reach out and even we got to see a baby dolphin. The handmade burgers made on the boat were also fantastic. Onboard, we were able to witness the rare male hula performed by a local boy. It was a tour that satisfied me from start to finish. I definitely want to participate again!
早起きした甲斐がありました!とても素晴らしい体験ができました。
お祈りをして花を海の投げ入れてから出発!すぐにイルカが現れてくれました。
シュノーケルの時も手の届きそうな距離を泳いでいましたし、いるかの赤ちゃんまで見る事ができました。船上で作る手作りハンバーガーも最高でした。船上ではロコボーイの珍しい男性フラを拝見することが出来ました。最初から最後まで大満足させてくれるツアーでした。また是非参加したいです。
I was worried that I wouldn't be able to enjoy myself since I can't swim. I wondered if I would be able to see dolphins properly from the boat.
However! I was able to encounter dolphins clearly from the boat, and even a pod of them!
I was so moved and healed by seeing dolphins for the first time.
Although I couldn't dive into the water, I had a fulfilling time seeing dolphins up close, kayaking, enjoying hamburgers made by the captain on board, and watching the crew dance the hula and play the ukulele. It was a tour that allowed even non-swimmers to fully enjoy the Hawaiian sea.
All the staff were very cheerful and friendly! I was able to create the best memories in Hawaii. Thank you!
私は泳ぐことができなく、楽しめるのかな?船の上からでもちゃんとイルカが見れるのかな?と心配でした。
しかし!船の上からでもきちんとイルカに出会う事ができました。しかもイルカの群れ!
初めて見るイルカにとっても感動し、癒されました。
海中に潜ることはできませんでしたが、間近でイルカの群れを見れたり、カヤックにのったり、キャプテンが船上でハンバーガーを作ってくれたり、クルーの人達がフラを踊ったり、ウクレレを弾いてくれたりととても充実した時間を送ることができました。泳げない人でも十分にハワイの海を楽しめるツアーでした。
スタッフの人皆とても明るくてフレンドリー!ハワイでの最高の思い出を作ることができました。ありがとうございます。
My husband and I booked the Ambassador package which provided a small group guided tour. DeGe, our guide, was knowledgeable and funny. The tour didn't give us much time to see each village but the center is too big to be seen in one day so, with DeGe, we were able to see a little bit of everything. The luau was fun and the food was good. The Ha performance was also very entertaining. Well worth the money for the package.
Since it was a cloudy day in Oct., we didn't really get a spectacular sunset, but that's not the cruise company's fault. The ride to Diamondhead and back was nice. Staff was very friendly, and the hula/ singing show was pretty good. The big bus picked us up a block away from our hotel, so we didn't have to deal with trying to find the boat, or parking. A big plus!
In Waikiki, various shows are held. The most representative one is the hula show, but I definitely wanted to experience the traditional Hawaiian luau show at least once! So, I participated. Basically, everything is explained in English during the show, but it's not a problem if you don't speak English. I think if you join with a positive mindset of "Let's have fun!", it will be even more enjoyable.
ワイキキではいろんなショーを開催しています。代表的なのはフラショーですが、やはりハワイ伝統のルアウショーを1度は体験してみたい!ということで参加しました。基本的にすべて英語で説明されショーは続きますが、英語がダメな人でも問題ありません。『楽しもう!』とポジティブな気持ちで参加されると、より楽しくなると思います。
This summer, I participated with my family. It was our third time on a catamaran, but our first time riding one in Waikiki. The price is quite reasonable, and you can truly enjoy the essence of an overseas resort, so I definitely recommend joining. On a catamaran, you can experience a refreshing feeling that you can't get on larger ships, and since there are relatively few Japanese people on the tour, I think you'll really feel like you're abroad!
今年の夏に家族で参加。カタマランは今回で3回目でしたがワイキキで乗るのは初めてでした。値段的にも安く海外リゾートの醍醐味を味わえるので是非参加をお勧めします。カタマランは大型船では味わえない爽快感を味わうことができますし、比較的日本人がいないツアーなので海外に来たことを実感できるとおもいますよ!
The pool is available in both Japan and Guam, but this pool is truly on par with Hawaii. I lost track of time. The waves in the wave pool are incredible, and the slide is just amazing—both the kids and moms were left in awe. I will definitely join again when I come back to Hawaii.
プールは日本にもグアムにもありますが、ここのプールはさずがハワイ級。時間がたつのを忘れてしまいました。波がくるプールの波も半端じゃないし、スライダーは凄いの一言で子供もママも放心状態になっていました。またハワイに来たときには参加します。
I saw in other people's posts that they had their event on the rooftop, but during our time, we had it in a spacious courtyard, which felt very open and was great. You can also see the ocean.
The show featured various dances, had a good rhythm, and was enjoyable. The host spoke in English, and there were moments when some audience members participated. (The foreign guests were very lively and engaged.)
The fire dance was amazing!
At the end, there were several dancers at the exit, and we were able to take photos with them.
他の人の書き込みに屋上でやったとありましたが、私たちのときは広い中庭でやり、非常に開放感がありよかったです。海も見えます。
ショーもいろいろな踊りがあり、メリハリがあり楽しかったです。司会は英語で観客が何人か参加する場面も有りました。(外国の方はのりがよく盛り上がっていました)
ファイヤーダンスはすごかったです!
最後に出口にダンサーが何人かいて一緒に写真をとってもらうことができました。
I was really anxious about snorkeling since I can't swim at all, but they provided fins and life jackets, and you can practice snorkeling in the shallow waters of the sandbar, so I recommend it for beginners!
They communicated in Japanese, which made the explanations easy to understand, and it was beautiful to take a walk in the middle of the ocean where you could stand!
The schedule was as follows: sandbar (photo opportunities, snorkeling practice) → lunch on the boat → turtle watching → snorkeling.
There was a shallow area about knee-deep right in the middle of the ocean. It was a bit disappointing that the sun wasn't very strong and it was cloudy that day, but I was satisfied because I wanted to visit the sandbar!
While we were practicing snorkeling, they were preparing lunch by grilling hamburgers on the boat. We moved while enjoying fruits, hamburgers, and drinks with a view of the ocean, heading to the turtle watching point.
We saw about 5-6 large turtles swimming in a circle! They occasionally popped their heads up, and it’s rare to see so many at once.
After that, we started snorkeling in earnest. They fed the fish, so there were plenty around the boat! The coral reefs were beautiful, and the hour went by in no time.
I recommend bringing an underwater camera. There are lots of blue and yellow fish.
I want to participate again!
まったく泳げないのでシュノーケリングに不安があったけれど、フィンやライフジャケットもちゃんと用意されているし、サンドバーの浅瀬で事前にシュノーケルの練習も出来るので初めての人にもオススメです☆
日本語で対応してくれたので、説明もわかりやすいし、海の真ん中で足が着くところをお散歩できてキレイなところでした!
スケジュールとしては、サンドバー(写真撮影、シュノーケル練習)→船上ランチ→海がめウオッチング→シュノーケルの順番でした。
膝くらいの浅瀬のところが本当に海の真ん中にありました。
当日はそんなに日差しが強くなく曇りがちだったのがちょっと残念でしたが、サンドバーに行ってみたかったので満足です♪
シュノーケルの練習をしている間に船上ではハンバーガーを焼いてランチの準備をしてくれていました。
フルーツ、ハンバーガー、飲み物を海を眺めながら食べつつ移動し、海がめウオッチングポイントまで。
大きな海がめが5-6ひき(?)輪になって泳いでいました!! たまに顔を出してくれて、こんなにたくさん見れるのは珍しいそうです。
その後、本格的にシュノーケル開始です。
餌付けをしてくれるので船の周りはお魚がたくさん!!
さんご礁もきれいであっという間の1時間でした。
水中カメラを持っていくことをオススメします。
青や黄色のお魚がたくさんいます。
また参加したいです!
This trip was my second time in Hawaii★ Last year was my first experience in Hawaii, and I was completely captivated by this country, so I came back this year★ I wanted to experience something unique to Hawaii, so I joined this heavenly ocean tour! I had read a lot of reviews before going, so I was filled with anticipation about what a fun tour it would be...♪ But... everything exceeded my expectations (>_<)
As someone who loves the ocean, this tour provided me with incredibly wonderful and happy moments (:▽;) The staff were all very fun, and the men were incredibly handsome... (>U<)★ I even got to take pictures with them~~♪ I've seen many oceans in Japan, but nothing compares to the ocean I was taken to on this tour!!
The blue, azure, and deep blue were beyond anything I could imagine in Japan!!!! The contrast of cobalt blue and emerald green was so beautiful that I genuinely felt grateful to be alive, without exaggeration (laughs). At the sandbar, there was really nothing to do... that time itself was pure "healing," and I realized how trivial my worries were... I was able to let go of everything★ It truly was a "power spot"★
I took many photos with the emerald green sea as a backdrop, in places used for filming Jurassic Park and Godzilla♪ It was my first experience with snorkeling, and I discovered the beauty of the underwater world for the first time, which is still vividly etched in my memory. I was thrilled to meet a sea turtle while snorkeling. After getting out of the water, I was able to see sea turtles from the boat multiple times, and that alone made me incredibly happy.
This became my best memory from the four-night, six-day trip!!★ I brought a waterproof digital camera, so I was able to capture plenty of photos underwater and at the sandbar, and I’m very satisfied with that. I highly recommend bringing a waterproof camera if you can♪ I will definitely participate again next year (^3^)
今回の旅行は私にとってハワイ二度目★
去年ハワイ初体験でもうすっかりこの国に魅了されてしまい今年もやってまいりました★今回はハワイならではのことが体験したくてこの天国の海ツアーに参加しました!行く前から口コミでもたくさん読んでいたのでどんな楽しいツアーなんだろ・・♪と期待に胸をふくらませておりましたが・・・・・
もう、、、すべてが想像以上でした(>_<)
海大好きな私にとってこのツアーはたまらなく素晴らしい幸せな時間が過ごせました(:▽;)スタッフの皆さまも非常に楽しくまた男性は非常にかっこよく・・(>U<)★一緒に写真撮ってもらっちゃいました~~♪
日本でたくさんの海をみてきましたがこのツアーで連れてっていただいた海にかなうものはありません!!
日本では考えれないぐらい青い蒼い碧い!!!!
コバルトブルーとエメラルドグリーンのコントラストがとても美しく心底。。大袈裟でなく生きててよかったと思いました(笑)サンドバーでは本当に何もすることがない・・その時間こそが「癒し」そのもので色んな自分の悩みがなんてちっぽけなものだったんだろ・・と全部ふっきれました★まさに【パワースポット】です★
ジュラシックパークやゴジラの撮影で使われていた場所をバックにエメラルドグリーンの海とたくさん写真を撮りました♪シュノーケルも初体験だったのですが海の中の美しさ素晴らしさを初めて知り、今でもしっかり目に焼き付いてます。海ガメさんにもシュノーケルのときに会うことができ感動の嵐でした。海からでて船の上からの何度も海ガメさんにあうことができてそれだけですごく幸せでした。
四泊六日の旅行の中で一番の思い出となりました!!★私は防水のデジカメを持って行ったので十分に海の中の写真やサンドバーでの写真を残すことができましてとても満足してるのでできれば防水のカメラを持っていくことをお勧めします♪来年も必ず参加します(^3^)
My first time at the Kaneohe Bay sandbar.
I was truly surprised by its beauty, which exceeded my expectations!
On the day of the visit, I was a bit worried about the clouds affecting the view, but when we arrived at the sandbar, it was sunny with a stunning marine blue sea! The contrast between the deep and shallow waters was incredibly beautiful. You won't see a view like this anywhere else.
At the sandbar, we had about an hour of free time to play beach volleyball, practice snorkeling, take photos, and relax. I had my camera with me, and the Japanese staff took many posed commemorative photos for me! I brought a digital camera that can be used underwater, but I recommend using an underwater camera here! You can capture some really great photos.
After that, we enjoyed hamburgers on the boat. These were large and delicious hamburgers. Soft drinks were available in unlimited quantities. Alcohol (beer, wine) is available for an additional charge.
Then we moved away from the sandbar for some sea turtle watching. We could see many sea turtles from the boat. On this day, we were also able to see a manta ray, which is quite rare!
Finally, we went snorkeling in an area with coral. I was truly amazed here!
As soon as I dove in, there was a sea turtle right in front of me! I never expected to encounter a sea turtle so close, and I was really moved. There were many more fish here than at Hanauma Bay, and I was never bored swimming around.
If you're going to Oahu, I think this tour is a must-do at least once. The staff's excellent service was also wonderful. It truly became a fantastic memory.
初めてのカネオヘ湾のサンドバー。
本当に想像以上の綺麗さにびっくりしました!
当日少し雲がかかっていて綺麗に見えるか心配だったのですが、サンドバーに到着した時は晴天で本当にマリンブルーの海!深い海と浅い海の色の変わり目が素晴らしく綺麗です。こんな景色は他では見れません。
サンドバーではビーチバレーをしたりシュノーケル練習、写真撮影などと各自自由時間を一時間ほどとってくれてゆったりできます。私はカメラを持っていたら、日本人スタッフの方が記念撮影をポーズ指定で沢山撮ってくれました♪
私は水中でも使用可能なデジタルカメラを持っていったのですが、ここでは水中カメラお勧めです!本当にいい写真が沢山撮れます。
その後は船上でハンバーガーをいただきました。
これも大きいハンバーガー美味しかったです。
ソフトドリンクは何杯でもいただけます。
お酒(ビール、ワイン)は有料です。
そしてサンドバーから離れて海ガメウォッチング。
沢山海ガメが船上から見ることができます。
この日はなかなか見ることができないマンター?
も見ることができました。
最後に珊瑚のあるところでシュノーケリング。
ここで本当にびっくりすることが!!!!
なんと、潜った瞬間、目の前に海ガメがいたのです!!
まさかこんな目の前で海ガメに遭遇すると思わなかったので本当に感動しました。
お魚はハナウマ湾よりもずっと沢山いて泳いでいて全く飽きませんでした。
オアフ島に行くのであればこのツアーは必ず一度は行った方がいいと思います。
スタッフの対応の良さもとても素晴らしかったです。本当に素敵な思い出になりました。
We had a very nice time with Keow and our bus mates. Keow was very informative and keep us all amuse throughout the tour.
