Oahu
The guides were all English-speaking, and only when we arrived at the sandbar did a Japanese guide come aboard from another boat to explain how to use the snorkeling equipment and the facilities on the boat in Japanese. Therefore, the overall content was mostly explained in English, but I didn't feel anxious about it. The staff were all very kind, so I didn't experience any particular inconvenience.
There were three destinations: Sandbar → Coral Reef → Sea Turtle Watching.
First, we headed to the sandbar. It was near the area where you can see Chinaman's Hat, and the location was fantastic. I thought the sandbar would be close to the land, but it was actually quite far from the shore, and I was amazed to find a spot where the water was up to my waist. The scenery was so beautiful that I thought if there is a paradise, it must look like this. At the sandbar, you can also play volleyball. Since the water is shallow, it might be a good place for those who are not used to snorkeling to practice. They provide fins and life jackets for snorkeling, so even those who are not good swimmers can feel safe.
When I went snorkeling at the sandbar, I encountered a sea turtle and was able to swim with it, which was another amazing experience. I brought a waterproof camera, so I was able to take great photos. If you don't have one, a disposable camera with waterproof features is also fine, so I recommend bringing one. You can buy one for about $13 at the many ABC Stores in Waikiki.
For lunch, we had hamburgers, which the captain grilled on the stove while we were playing at the sandbar, and they were delicious.
The second snorkeling session took place at a coral reef the size of a soccer field, where we could feed a lot of fish. It was a fun experience to have colorful fish pecking at the food I held.
During the sea turtle watching, we were able to see many sea turtles from the boat and took a lot of photos.
The sandbar is offshore, and it's a place you obviously can't reach by car, so I felt it was definitely worth using when visiting Hawaii.
ガイドの方々はみんな英語で、サンドバーに到着したときのみに日本人のガイドの方が他の船から乗ってきて、日本語で再度シュノーケリングの使い方や船内設備等の説明してくれました。
よって全体的な内容はほぼ英語での説明になりますが、不安になることはありませんでした。
スタッフの方も皆さん親切な方々なので特に不便はしませんでした。
目的地は三か所あり、サンドバー → サンゴ礁 → 海亀ウォッチングとなります。
最初に、サンドバーへ向かいます。
チャイナマンズ・ハットが見える周辺であり、ロケーションは最高でした。
サンドバーということで陸地に近い場所にあるのかなと思っていたのですが、陸まではかなり距離がある場所であり、こんなところに腰くらいまでの水深の場所があるのかと感動し、天国があるならばこんな景色なんじゃないかなと思えるほど素晴らしい景色と体験ができました。
サンドバーではバレーボールをすることもできます。
また、浅いのでサンドバーでシュノーケリングに慣れない方は練習するのもいいかもしれません。
シュノーケリングの際にはフィンやライフジャケット等も貸してもらえるので泳ぎが得意でない方でも安心です。
サンドバーでシュノーケリングをした際、そこで海ガメと遭遇し一緒に泳ぐことができ、またまた感動でした。防水のカメラを持って行っていたのでばっちり写真を撮ることもできました。
持っていない方は防水機能の付いた使い捨てカメラでも構わないので、持っていくことをお勧めします。ワイキキにたくさんあるABCマートで13ドルくらいで購入できます。
昼食はハンバーガーになります、サンドバーで遊んでいる間に船長がコンロで焼いてくれるので、おいしかったです。
2回目のシュノーケリングはサッカー場ほどのサンゴ礁で行います、ここでたくさんの魚に餌付けを行うことができます。自分が持った餌に色とりどりの魚が突っついてくる状態で面白い経験ができました。
海亀ウォッチングはかなりたくさんの海亀を船上から見る事ができ、写真もたくさん取れました。
沖合にあるサンドバーであり、車では当然行けない場所ですし、ハワイに行った際にはかなり利用する価値はあるのではないかと感じました。
My friend and I went to this Luau at the Hilton. Wwhen I heard where it was I thought it was strange to be on top of the roof of a building but you really have nice view of the Lagoon and the Ocean. I like that the tables are a U shape around the stage because everyone had a great view of the dancers! They even had me up on stage to try and blow the Conch Shell, it was hard but I did it! The food was really good, I went back for seconds of the Poke and Pork. The dancers were really talented and the fire twirling guys at the end were awesome.
This was my first time participating, and I enjoyed it from start to finish. The food was great in a buffet style, and the main show was absolutely amazing!! There were guest participants, and it was really entertaining. The final fire dance was very powerful, and I couldn't take my eyes off it.
After the show ended, I was able to take photos with the dancers, so I am very satisfied.
今回初めての参加でしたが、最初から最後まですごく
楽しめました。ご飯もビュッフェスタイルで良かったし
なんといってもメインのショーが最高でした!!
ゲスト参加もあり、ホントにおもしろかったです。
ファイナルのファイアーダンスはとても迫力があり
目が離せませんでした。
ショーが終わったあと、ダンサー達と写真もとれたので
とても満足です。
Aloha! We are local residents of the island Oahu and have never been fortunate enough to do an activity like this one... until now!
Captain Bob's tour was an adventure full of variety for even the local resident. The sandbar was amazing and a great place to start the activity. We were surprised at the size of the sandbar and even though our tour was a crowded we had ample space to enjoy our own privacy and each others company. There was also volleyball set up in the middle of the ocean for playing and group enjoyment.
We then went to a spot where we saw an abundance of sea turtles. As locals of Hawaii, turtles are no big surprise and are often seen in our waters everywhere. However, when we cruised over the area - they were such an amazing and beautiful sight, that we started to ooh and ahh!
The actual snorkeling was also an experience. The reef that we were brought to was private and well marked and preserved. It was beautiful to swim around the edges and explore. It was the
Even though we went to Hawaii, at the beach, it felt like we were just soaking in the ocean as if we were in a hot spring while holding onto a float... The hotel pool had a "no diving" rule with large floats...
Since we came to this tropical island, we signed up for this tour so that our fifth-grade child could have fun. It's a bit far from Waikiki, but the shuttle service made us feel secure♪ Not only the kids, but the adults also had a great time and enjoyed themselves. When I asked my child, "What is your favorite memory of Hawaii?" the answer was that this tour was the most fun! I want to go again!☆
Even our family members who can't speak any English enjoyed themselves without any issues♪
せっかくハワイに行っても海では
『浮輪につかまってはいるものの、温泉に入ってるかのように海に浸かってるだけ』…。
ホテルのプールは『大きな浮輪・飛び込み禁止』…。
せっかく常夏の島にきたんだから小学5年生の子供がはしゃげるようにとこのツアーに申し込みました。
ワイキキからは遠いけど送迎もあるので安心♪
子供だけでなく大人も十分、はしゃいで楽しめました。
子供に『ハワイの思い出は?』と聞くと、このツアーが一番楽しかった!また行きたい! という答えが返ってきます☆
英語が全く話せない我が家のメンバーでも不自由なく楽しめました♪
We participated as a couple.
We went to the meeting place near the boarding area, but there were no landmarks, and we felt a bit anxious while waiting. …Then, as mentioned in previous posts, the staff were the guys sitting under the umbrella right behind the boarding area. (I think it's quite hard to find.)
On the day of the event, the weather was nice, and once we set off, the wind felt refreshing! Since you do get splashed with quite a bit of water, I recommend wearing something that you don't mind getting wet. Your belongings can be stored inside the catamaran, so it's safe to bring them along. The view of Waikiki from out at sea was absolutely wonderful. We even saw a beautiful rainbow, which made us very satisfied. It's a pity we didn't get to see any dolphins.
It was quite bumpy, but it was thrilling, and I enjoyed it without feeling seasick!☆
夫婦で参加しました。
待ち合わせ場所の、乗り場近くに行きましたが、何も目印がなく、少し不安になりながら待ってました。
…すると、以前の書き込みにもありましたが、乗り場のすぐ後ろのパラソルの下に座っているおじさん達が係の人でした。(かなりわかりにくいと思います。)
当日は、天気もよく、出発すると風が気持ちよくって爽快でした!
結構水しぶきはかかってしまいますので、ホント濡れてもいい格好がオススメです。
荷物は、カタマランの中で預かってもらえるので、持って行っても安心です。
沖の方から見るワイキキの景色がとても素敵でした。
キレイな虹も見れ、大満足です。
イルカ達に会えなかったのが残念ですね。
かなり揺れてましたが、スリル満点で、酔う事もなく楽しめました☆
I participated in late October 2008!
The participants were all newlyweds. I saw it online and imagined a blue sea, but unfortunately, the weather was bad on the day. The water depth was up to my stomach, and we were far from the sandbar.
Also, be careful because the water is quite cold!
2008年10月下旬に参加しました!
参加者は新婚さんばかりでした。
ネットで見て、ブルーの海を想像していたのですが。。
当日は生憎天気が悪く、また水深もお腹のあたりまであり
サンドバーには程遠かったです。
また、かなり水が冷たいので、ご注意を!
This time, I aimed to participate on a low tide day!
...but I mistakenly checked the calendar, and it was almost high tide (;_;).
I set sail feeling a bit disappointed.
But that feeling quickly faded!
The ocean here is completely different from Waikiki Beach.
It's not like the beaches in the North; it really feels like you're taken right into the middle of the sea.
Even at high tide, there are shallow areas where adults can sit and relax.
As our guide Yuko said, it was a sea where you could just "do nothing and zone out."
The snorkeling afterward was fun, and swimming while watching turtles was the best!!
Even those who can't swim can look for them from the boat.
Most of the staff are Japanese, so there's peace of mind in terms of language.
I think people of all ages can enjoy it safely and comfortably.
I participated in the morning session this time, but I definitely want to join the afternoon session next time.
Or if there's a full-day plan, I would definitely go!
今回は干潮日を狙って参加!
…したのに暦のみ間違いでほぼ満潮(;_;)
ちょっと残念な気分のまま出航しました。
でもそんなのすぐ晴れます!
ワイキキビーチとはまるで違う自然の中の海。
ノースのようなビーチとも違い、
本当に海の真ん中に連れて行かれる感じです。
満潮時でもオトナなら座れる程度の浅瀬でぼんやりタイム。
ガイドのゆうこさんが仰っていた通り、
『何にもしないでぼーっとする』ことの出来る海でした。
その後のシュノーケルも楽しかったし、
なんと言っても亀を見ながら泳げるのはサイコー!!
泳げないヒトも船上から見れるよう探してくれます。
スタッフはほとんどが日本人なので、言葉の面も安心。
老若男女問わずみんなで安心して楽しめると思います。
今回は午前の分で参加したけど、
今度は是非午後の分で参加したいです。
もしくは1日プランがあれば、ココなら行きます!
This was our second family trip to Hawaii. Since we were there, we decided to explore not just Oahu but also the neighboring islands, so we went to Kauai. It was a very natural island where nature remains untouched. We were able to see sea turtles as well. Waimea Canyon is breathtaking!!
今回は2回目のHAWAIIファミリー旅行でした。
せっかくなので、オアフ島だけではなく
離島へも足を伸ばしてみようということになり
カウアイ島へ。
自然がそのまま残るとてもナチュラルな島でした。
海がめも見ることが出来ました。
Waimea Canyonは絶景です!!
We participated on the afternoon of our arrival in Hawaii. We had a 3-year-old with us, but the whole family enjoyed it. Listening to Hawaiian music while sipping margaritas made us feel great! It was wonderful to enjoy the Hawaiian sea at the start of our trip, and I'm glad we made the reservation for the first day!
ハワイ到着日の午後に参加しました。
3歳の子連れでしたが、家族で楽しめました。
ハワイアンミュージックを聴きながら、マルガリータを飲んで、気分が良かったです☆
旅のスタートにハワイの海を楽しめたし、初日に予約しておいて良かったです!
Whenever I come to Hawaii, I make it a point to participate in a luau show. This time, I attended the show at the Hilton Hotel for the first time, and it was a lot of fun. Also, everything was in English.
I was quite disappointed that the venue was on the rooftop of a building. The ones I've attended before were all near the ocean, which created a much better atmosphere and was very pleasant. It may vary from person to person, but for me, being on the rooftop just didn't quite do it. I don't think I'll participate again next time.
The food was average. They also had options for children, which I think is great for those with little ones.
ハワイに来たら毎回ルアウショーに参加することにしてます。今回初めてヒルトンホテルのショーに参加しましたが、ショーはとても楽しかったです。あと、すべて英語です。
開催場所がビルの屋上だったことが、私にはとても残念でした。今までに参加したものは、海の近くばかりだったので、とても雰囲気がよく気持ちがいいものでした。人それぞれだと思いますが、私は、屋上であることが、正直いまひとつでした。次回は参加しないと思います。
お料理は普通でした。お子様用も用意されていて、小さい子をお連れの方にはよいと思いました。
This time, two women participated. Since it was September, we were blessed with good weather. One of us joined because of Alan's campaign, so I think we got a bit of a bonus there. We participated in the 3 PM departure, which was nice because the sun wasn't too strong. Depending on the day, the sailing departures are at 11 AM, 1 PM, and 3 PM. There are also tours where you can stop the catamaran offshore for snorkeling, and a sunset sail starting at 5 PM, which I recommend!
The location is easy to find; just look for the friendly old man standing there as a landmark. Once we head offshore, you can enjoy drinks on the catamaran. I think it was around $5... they also have champagne and cocktails. The captain and staff were really nice!
I believe we were on a tour that usually doesn’t stop offshore, but since there were mostly a small number of foreigners, we stopped at a point with fish, and everyone changed into swimsuits and jumped in. As expected, foreigners know how to have fun! With such surprises, I definitely recommend wearing a swimsuit for participation. Everyone should join and enjoy the view of Waikiki from the sea!
今回は女性二人の参加。9月といこともあり天気にも恵まれました。
今回は一人はアランのキャンペーン参加で参加したのでちょっと得したかな?
私達が参加したのは日差しがきつくない3時出発で参加しました。登場は曜日にもよるけど11時、1時、3時の出発がセーリングです。他には沖合いでカタマランを止めシュノーケリングをするツアーや5時からのサンセットセイルもあるようでお勧めですよ!
場所はすぐにわかります。やさしいおじさんがたっているのが目印です。
沖合いにでますとカタマランの上でお酒が飲めます。確か5ドルくらいだったような・・・シャンパンやカクテルもあります。
キャプテンやスタッフをとてもいい感じ!
私達は通常沖合いには止まらないツアーだっと思いますが、小人数の外人さんが殆どだったので、魚のいるポイントで船を止めて皆水着になって飛び込んでいました。
さすが・・・外人さんは楽しみ方を知ってますね!
そんなサプライズもあるので是非水着を着用しての参加がお勧めです。
皆さんも是非参加して海から見るワイキキを眺めてみてはいかが・・・
I had my first encounter with wild dolphins!
While enjoying the peaceful scenery, I headed to Waianae Harbor on the west side of Oahu! After about five minutes out on the boat in the clear, beautiful sea, we got ready to swim. While changing into a wetsuit (top half) and life jacket with careful instructions, a pod of dolphins appeared!
A group of dolphins was gracefully swimming slowly near the boat! There were about 20 to 30 of them in total. Some dolphins even jumped energetically! Upon closer inspection, I saw baby dolphins jumping too!!!
It seems I was lucky this time, as the pod performed near the boat for over 30 minutes. Those who swam closer could even hear the dolphins' calls♪
After that, we went snorkeling at a place called "Dragon Palace," which is full of sea turtles! A sea turtle came right next to the boat, so I was really glad to see it up close.
The BBQ on the boat after getting tired from all the excitement and the hula performed by the local staff was also great.
Thank you for this precious experience!
初めて野生のイルカに会ってきました!
のどかな風景を眺めつつ、オアフ島西部ワイアナエ・ハーバーへ!透き通っててきれいな海をボートで沖へ5分ほど行ったところで、泳ぐ準備をしました。丁寧な説明を受けながら、ウェットスーツ(上半身)とライフジャケットに着替えていたら、イルカの群れが!
ボートの近くをイルカの群れが優雅にゆ~っくりと泳いでいるんです!合計で20~30頭くらいかな?中には勢いよくジャンプを披露してくれるイルカも!よーく見たら、赤ちゃんイルカも一緒にジャンプ!!!
今回はラッキーだったみたいで、イルカの群れがボート近くで30分以上パフォーマンスを披露してくれてました。近くまで泳いでいった人は、イルカの鳴き声とかも聞こえたんだとか♪
その後、竜宮城と呼ばれるウミガメが沢山いるところでシュノーケリング!ボートすぐ横にウミガメがでてきてくれたので、すごく近くで見れてよかったです。
はしゃぎ疲れた後の船上BBQでの腹ごしらえやロコスタッフによるフラもよかったです。
貴重な体験を有難うございます!
I arrived early at the Outrigger Hotel, but I couldn't find the catamaran, which made me a bit anxious. Around 12:30, when check-in started, a yacht that looked like it appeared. Check-in was on the beach.
The weather was perfect, and it was wonderful to enjoy the pleasant breeze while looking at Waikiki and Diamond Head. There were a few splashes from the waves, but it was just the right amount.
There were about a dozen participants, including an elderly lady and a family with a baby, but the staff paid attention to everyone, which was nice.
You can either dangle your feet over the net or sit in a chair. Since we were sailing, there was no engine noise, and I was able to enjoy the experience comfortably.
In the latter half, I caught a glimpse of some dolphins. I think an hour and a half is just the right amount of time. If it were any longer, it might get boring, so it was a perfectly enjoyable tour that anyone could easily join.
アウトリガーホテルに早めに到着しましたが、カタマランは見当たらず、若干不安に。受付開始時間12:30ちょうど位にそれらしきヨットが現れる。受付はビーチで。
天候は申し分のない日で、気持ちのよい風をうけながら、ワイキキやダイヤモンドヘッドを眺めるのは最高でした。若干波しぶきがかかりましたが、気持ちのよい程度。
参加人数は10数人で、かなり高齢のおばあさん、ベビーを連れたファミリーもいましたが、スタッフはそれぞれに気を配っていい感じでした。
ネットの部分で足を投げ出してもいいですし、イスに座ることもできます。帆走をしますので、エンジン音がすることもなく、快適に楽しむことが出来ました。
後半、イルカの姿が少しだけ見られました。一時間半という時間はちょうどよいと思います。あまり長くても飽きてしまうので、気軽に参加することのできるちょうど良いツアーでした。
First timers in Hawaii. We booked the Ambassador package, which came with a tour guide. She was quick to get us from one village show to another, getting us good seats.
We learned some pretty interesting things from the different villages about different cultures.
The food was ok. Nothing to turn backflips over. The "Ha: Breathe of Life" night show was nice. My wife loved it, which was very important.
KAP TAFITI, THE SOMOAN GUY IS VERRRRRY FUNNY!
Overall great experience!
Save your tickets. You have 3 days after to return and revisit villages at no extra charge. We just had to see the Somoan guy.
i wanted to do something special for my girlfriend's birthday during our stay in Oahu.... Turns out it was a success!!!!
I booked the 3 star dinner w/ special occasion feature for my girl and I. The food was great! loved the lobster and steak... our waitress Jasmine was great also! It didnt take very long for us to get our plates.... The view of diamond head was amazing... When it was time for sunset, we headed up to the observation deck, WHAT A SIGHT!!!! We took a couple of photos and one of the other guests offered to take a photo op for us.... After seeing the picture she took of us, we realized what that picture could be! "something much more." as in, a Save the Date type of photo..... My girlfriend has an idea of what I was up to to since i mentioned the photo as a save the date type of picture but shes gonna be surprised when I pop the question in the near feature!!!!! THEN she can finally say that we can use this photo for our SAVE THE DATE picture!!!
thanks for the g
Very educational, to see it up close and personal makes you realize the sacrifice that was made for our freedom.
We did the sunset cruise and it was great. We walked to the marina from our hotel (Marriott Beach Club) and were surprised how friendly the staff on board was. They were always offering us drinks and chatting with us. Sitting on the net of the boat was fun and the sunset was romantic. I had champagne and my finance had the cruise's "special" drink which had 3 shots of rum in it. The experience was romantic but a family would enjoy this too. There were a few groups of friend on board that seemed to enjoy themselves. It is a nice end to the day, not too expensive, and very relaxing. Recommended for everyone!!
We had such a blast. The crew was great and the music that they played was amazing yet perfect. It was such a nice way to relax and enjoy the beach. We recommend this to anyone who is looking for something relaxing to do besides sitting on the beach. They do offer drinks at a small fee. If you want something to do for 1 1/2 hours then this is for you. The cool part is that once you are in the ocean you can sit on the netting in the front and really enjoy the sites of Waikiki.
We had a wonderful time at the center and the lua was great. We had a tour guide with us that allowed us to probably see more things but at the same time we couldn't really wander off on our own to see things that interested us. Overall it was a great day and would highly recommend this activity to anyone.
Captain Bob's was one of the highlights of our trip. The crew was very laid back and extremely helpful (served us beer in the water). One girl even got stung by a jellyfish and the captain carried her all the way back to the boat and immediately rendered first aid. 60 of us total and it was not crowded at all. Burgers were good, people were awesome and the snorkeling was spectacular. Saw a few turtles and other beautiful fish. Volleyball on the sandbar was pretty fun too!! All in all my husband and I really had a great time. Would highly recommend it to anyone!!!!!!!!
Had an amazing time on the Sunset Cruise. Very friendly staff and a great atmosphere. It was a fantastic setting to propose to my girlfriend!
I had to wait in line for what felt like forever to enter the venue. It seemed that taking photos for each group at the entrance was the cause of the congestion, but couldn't they find a better way to manage that? The food was also hotel cuisine, and it could have been improved. It wasn't good. As for the show, the one at Sheraton Kauai was more interesting as it traced the history of Hawaii. Overall, it was quite disappointing.
会場に入るのにこれでもかというくらいならんで待たされた。はいるところで1グループごとに写真をとっていたのでそれが混雑の原因と思われますがもうちょっとなんとかならないものでしょうか?食事もホテルで出す料理なのでもうちょっとなんとかならないのでしょうか?まずかったです。ショーの内容もシェラトンカイウラニのショーの方がハワイの歴史をたどっていて面白かったです。全体的にいまいちでした。
It was the best time we've ever had. The food,the entertainment, the view was excellant.
On the day of arrival, I had some time before check-in, so I participated. It was a very comfortable stimulation for my slightly dazed mind. The boat, moving refreshingly with just the wind, allows you to feel the wind, sea, and sun directly on your body, unlike larger ships. The hour-long duration was just right.
到着した日、チェックインまでに時間があったので、参加しました。少しぼーっとした頭に、とても快適な刺激でした。風だけで、爽快に進んでいく船は、他の大きな船と違って、体に直接風や海や太陽を感じます。1時間ほどの時間も丁度よかったです。
The food was diverse and delicious, the dancing was powerful, and it was great to see the sunset. My child was thrilled to get a turtle tattoo on their shoulder. I would love to go again the next time I visit.
料理は種類も豊富で美味しく、踊りも迫力があり、サンセットも見れ良かったです。子供は肩に亀の絵をタトゥーしてもらい大喜びでした。次回訪れた時も行きたいと思いました。
I chose the 45 minute tour of Oahu and it was amazing. It was my first time on a helicopter and I thoroughly enjoyed it!!
I participated in a morning plan on September 1st.
Contrary to the clear skies in Waikiki, the area around Kaneohe Bay was unfortunately cloudy. Moreover, the sandbar we were looking forward to visiting had its low tide at just after 6 AM that day, so by the time we arrived, the water level was already up to our knees, and we couldn't stroll on the white sandbar like in the commercials. Therefore, if you really want to walk on the sandbar, I recommend doing some thorough research beforehand.
After returning to the boat and enjoying some light snacks like bread, chips, and fruits, we went snorkeling. A Japanese staff member kindly explained how to use the equipment, so I think even beginners will be fine. Perhaps due to the cloudy weather, the visibility underwater wasn't very clear, but we were still able to see the coral reefs and tropical fish perfectly.
After that, we changed locations for a second snorkeling session. We were supposed to swim with sea turtles, but unfortunately, none appeared (cry). However, we were able to see a sea turtle surfacing for air from the boat at another spot♪
On the way back, you can ride in the shuttle car in your swimsuit, so if you have something to throw on, you won't need to change. However, it can get quite cold on the boat, so it's better to have a jacket. Depending on the weather, I wore a hoodie and wrapped myself in a bath towel. Also, since waves can splash into the boat, it might be a good idea to put your belongings in a waterproof bag. If you want to take photos without worrying about getting wet, a waterproof case for your digital camera is a must☆ They were selling waterproof cameras on the boat too, but I think it was around $25?
While I regret not seeing the sandbar due to the weather, the time spent in the beautiful sea became a great memory. I would love to participate again next time for a revenge trip♪
9月1日に午前発のプランに参加しました。
快晴のワイキキとは裏腹に、カネオヘ湾付近はあいにくの曇り空。しかも楽しみにしていたサンドバーは当日の干潮が午前6時過ぎだったということで、私達が到着した頃には既に膝下くらいまでの水位があり、CMのように白いサンドバーを闊歩・・・という具合にはいきませんでした。なのでどうしてもサンドバーを歩きたい!!という方は事前によく調べていくことをオススメします。
ボートに戻ってパンやチップス、フルーツなどの軽食を頂いた後はシュノーケルです。使い方など日本人のスタッフさんが丁寧に教えてくれるので、初めての方でも大丈夫だと思いますよ☆曇天のせいか水中もあまりクリアではありませんでしたが、それでも珊瑚礁と熱帯魚はバッチリ見ることができました。
その後ポイントを変えて2度目のシュノーケル。ウミガメと泳ぐ~♪・・・ハズが、カメ現れず(泣)。でも、ボートに戻って他のポイントに行き、船上からでしたが水面で息継ぎをするウミガメに会うことができました♪
帰りは水着のまま送迎車に乗せてもらえるので、羽織るものでもあれば着替えは必要ありません。ただ、船上はかなり寒いので上着があった方がいいです。お天気にもよると思いますが、私はパーカーを着て更にバスタオルにくるまってました。あと、波しぶきが船内まで入ってくることもあるので持ち物はビニールバッグなど濡れてもいいバッグに入れて行った方がいいかもしれません。水濡れを気にせず写真を撮りたい方は、デジカメ用の防水ケースもマストです☆船上でも防水カメラ売ってましたが・・・25ドルだったかな?
お天気とサンドバーを見られなかったのが心残りでしたが、綺麗な海でのひと時はいい思い出になりました。次回、リベンジしにまた参加したいです♪
Everything was GREAT except for the location.. I was disappointed cuz I booked this with a beach location in mind.. or at least, close proximity or along the beach; which I heard was the case for some time. Instead it was on the rooftop of the parking structure! Anyway, you probably would get more outstanding reviews if you only put the luau back on the beach or the grass area between the Lagoon Tower & Rainbow Tower! That would've made it PERFECT! Food could be better as well! Entertainment was excellent!n Great performers!
I signed up for the activity on the recommendation of an acquaintance. Running through the blue sky with the wind while listening to music was incredibly refreshing and felt great. I saw a lot of big turtles. I definitely want to participate again!
知人に勧められてアクテビィティ申し込みました。
音楽をかけながら青い空を風をきって走るのはすごく爽快で気持ちよかったです。大きな亀がたくさん見れました。
また是非参加したいです!
