Awesome, we are from New Zealand and the Horizons show certainly made us proud to be part of Polynesia

Thoroughly enjoyed this tour. The Driver (from Samoa) was very knowledgeable and entertaining about the Islands and the Arizone /Missouri. He made it well worth the time and money.

The Oahu Dinner Sunset Cruise was very nice; the service was great and the food was excellent.

I had returned after twenty five years and the Center was as good as ever! My traveling companion was visiting for the first time and thoroughly enjoyed the day, luau and show. A great day recommended for all visitors to the island of Oahu.

I would recommend this trip to anyone visiting the island for the first time. As long as the pick-up bus gets started, the tour is a fun and enjoyable one while learning a great deal about the history of Pearl Harbor. Tour guide was excellent.

A wonderful day - our second visit - and should not be missed. Entertaining & informative. The "Horizons" show is fantastic, particularly the Fire Dance.

A very good event to go to. Good food, good show and hundrreds of your closest friends

We had an absolutely gorgeous clear day. The ocean floor was visible to more than 30 feet. We were entertained by dolphins, monitored by turtles, and even visited by some whales! I'm sure we were very lucky, but it sure seemed like it was all arranged just for us. The views of Oahu were breathtaking, and though my wife and UII did not snorkle we enjoyed the stories from the knowledgeable staff. Patrick makes bodacious Mai Tais!!

I participated in a deluxe cruise on April 20, 2008.

There were about 40 passengers in total, and we were the only three Japanese people. The explanations were primarily in English, but there was a staff member who was fluent in Japanese, so I didn't feel any particular inconvenience.

The cabin has about 30 seats, but many people were enjoying the view from the deck. There are two restrooms available.

The boat swayed quite a bit, and two of my companions got seasick. It seems that standing and looking at the distant scenery is less likely to cause nausea than sitting down. I was completely fine, though.

We mostly saw dolphins swimming in the distance, but some dolphins came close to the boat, which was very exciting when we saw them up close. However, it seemed to be a sleepy time for them, so it was disappointing that we didn't get to see any jumps or spins. For dolphin watching, an early morning cruise might be better.

Regarding snorkeling, I have experienced clearer waters before, so I wasn't particularly impressed, but I did see a turtle, and I enjoyed it to some extent. Depending on the season, it might feel a bit cold, so I recommend wearing a rash guard. It also helps prevent sunburn.

The lunch was delicious, but the boat was rocking, so I was focused on eating without dropping anything from my plate.

I think the encounter rate with dolphins and turtles and the degree of the boat's sway depend on timing. All the staff were kind, fun, and very good. However, since it's an activity with many foreigners, I wouldn't recommend it for those who are not comfortable in that kind of atmosphere.

2008年4月20日のデラックスクルーズに参加。

総勢40名程度の乗客で、日本人は我々三名のみ。基本的に説明は英語ですが、日本語の堪能なスタッフがケアしてくださるので、特に不都合は感じませんでした。

キャビンは30席程度の座席がありますが、デッキで外を眺めている人が多かったです。トイレは2箇所あります。

ボートはかなり揺れるので、同行者二名は船酔いになってしまいました。座っているよりも、立って遠くの景色を眺めている方が酔いにくいようです。私は全く平気でしたが。

お目当てのイルカは遠方を泳ぐ姿を見るという感じだったのですが、中には船の近くまで寄って来るイルカもいて、間近で見たときはとても興奮しました。しかしながら、眠い時間帯だったようで、ジャンプやスピンが見られなかったのは残念です。イルカウォッチングに関しては早起きクルーズの方が良いかもしれません。

シュノーケリングに関しては、もっと透明度の高い海での経験があるので、さほどの感激はありませんでしたが、ウミガメも一匹見られましたし、それなりに楽しめました。季節によっては若干寒く感じることもあるかと思いますので、ラッシュガードの着用をおすすめします。日焼け防止にもなりますし。

ランチは美味しかったのですが、なにせ船が揺れるので、皿から落ちないように食べることに必死でした。

イルカやウミガメとの遭遇率や船の揺れ具合はタイミングによると思います。スタッフは全員親切で楽しくて非常に良かったです。ただし外国人の多いアクティビティなので、そういう雰囲気が苦手な人にはおすすめしません。

Transportation picked us up on time. We were seated upon arrival to the boat. We were served promptly. the ride was soo smooth. The food was excellent. The entertainment was fabulous. There was plenty of time for pictures and you were able to walk around at your leisure. we got amazing pictures especially sunset pictures, and the crew was great!.. i would recommend this to anyone looking for a fabulous dinner cruise to attend in hawaii. this is a definite must do! the picture attached, was a product of this cruise!

The tour can't be called fun, but i can say "don't miss it". It's very informative, quite solemn (the Arizona portion) and something i think every visitor should take in. It was well organized, good timing, and did everything we hoped it would.

we absolutely had a great time on the cruise we saw whale activity just as promised. The only two things that I would suggest in the future is that you may want to utilize more of the boats space with the activities you provided, people were too crowded. the buffet needed to be held open longer and have food available in supple amounts those of us who were told we could watch the whales longer and that the buffet would be there came back to limited food and a quick clean up.

I was told this was the most authentic luau on Oahu. The actually dinner was a bit crowded and the stage show was too loud and pretty boring. The buffet offered a variety of dishes but I had to eat from the kids side because that menu only offered the vegetarian option that actually had nutritional value.
When booking this trip it would have been nice to know up front that the cultural center was run by mormons so therefore there was no alcohol or caffeine available. The night show was worth seeing...very well done...just as good as a play in NYC.
Our driver picked us up 15 minutes late then proceeded to wait another 20 for 2 people who were on the list and were not there yet. Because of this we were unable to get the tour of the center that we paid for and they would not issue us tickets to come again some other day. If I could do it all over again I would go the full day, pack food and see the evening show. Probably rent a car and take a break down the street on the beach.

My bother and I went on the Oahu Day Cruise on April 10th 2008 just for an activity for the day. The cruise was an amazing experience with great staff and good people. The whales were amazing that day, so there was no lack of seeing one. I would highly recommend this activity during april or wnever there are whales to watch. It was quite an experience. Thanks to Hawaii Activities, and the Star of Honolulu crew.

Good!

This tour, starting with a kind morning call at 5 AM from the hotel, is truly fulfilling and highly recommended! You can see a pod of dolphins within a meter, and afterwards, encounter giant sea turtles and tropical fish! The cheeseburgers made by the captain on the boat are exquisite, and you can even enjoy kayak surfing. Finally, you can experience hula at a park near the harbor. It's a parade of activities that can only be done in Hawaii! Additionally, there is a photographer accompanying the tour, and if you request, they will edit the photos taken during the tour into a DVD and deliver it the next day! This way, the wonderful experiences of the day can be kept as souvenirs! Not only is the tour itself interesting, but the magnificent views of Hawaii's emerald green sea from the catamaran yacht are also remarkable! I absolutely recommend this tour! It may seem a bit pricey, but given the content, it's worth it! I truly had a great time! Thank you, staff!!!

朝5時の宿泊ホテルへの親切なモーニングコールからはじまるこのツアー、ほんとに充実していて、お勧め度満点です！！
イルカの群れを１ｍ以内で見ることができ、そのあとは巨大海亀や熱帯魚と遭遇！　船の上で船長さんが作ってくれるチーズバーガーも絶品だし、カヤックサーフィンまで楽しめ、最後は港の近くの公園でフラの体験までできます。まさにハワイでしかできないことのオンパレード！　また、このツアーにはカメラマンさんも同行していて、自分たちのツアーの様子を撮った写真を申し込むとＤＶＤで編集して翌日には渡してくれます！　これでこの日のすばらしい経験が、お土産品として残ります！　ツアー自体の面白さもさることながら、カタマランヨットから見るハワイのエメラルドグリーンの海をはじめとする雄大な景色も乙なものです！　絶対お勧めのツアーです！　少し代金が高い気もするかもしれませんが、この内容なら納得です！！
本当に楽しかったです！スタッフの皆さん、マハロ！！！

My family had a wonderful time on this cruise. We would do this again if we go back to Hawaii. Everyone should try it, the food was great, the entertainment was great. Evrything was wonderful.

In February, I participated with my family. According to our guide, this tour is the closest you can get to the sandbar. The scenery on the way to the sandbar by boat was very beautiful. My 4-year-old daughter tried snorkeling for the first time, but she couldn't do it, so our family played around the boat. Along the way, a boy around 6 or 7 years old also seemed to have trouble and returned to the boat. In the end, we were able to see a lucky turtle from the boat.

2月に家族で参加しました。ガイドさんの話では
ここのツアーが一番サンドバーに近づけれるといっていました。船でサンドバーまで向かう途中の景色は、とても綺麗でした。
４歳の娘が初シュノーケリングにトライしてみましたが、無理でしたので、うちの家族は船の周辺で遊んでいました。途中、６~７才位の男の子も出来なかったみたいで、船へ引き返してきました。
最後、船から幸運の？亀も見ることが出来ました。

The meal, the activities alongside the watching, and the prices were all satisfactory. We saw whales several times!! However, they didn't jump as much as in the photos. It felt more like their fins were rolling with the waves. Still, being able to experience whales up close like this is truly unique to Hawaii.

食事内容、ウォッチングと平行しているアクティビティー、料金とも納得できるものでした。クジラも何度か出てくれましたしね！！でもあの写真程はジャンプしませんでした。波とともに背びれがうねる~と言う感じです。それにしても　こんなに近くでクジラを感じられるのはやはりハワイならではですよね。　

Since my family is prone to seasickness, we usually avoid this type of tour, but we experienced absolutely no seasickness! We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The lunch was a simple buffet on the boat, but it was very delicious. There was also snorkeling time at a spot where we could see sea turtles, and my second-grade son had a great time swimming among the adults with his father.

He excitedly reported, "I swam over a sea turtle, and it suddenly turned and bumped into me! It was rough, and I was surprised! But since it bumped into me, I won't get in trouble, right?" (We are not supposed to touch the sea turtles.)

There is no shade except on the boat, so sunscreen and rash guards are essential. A waterproof camera is also a must (they offer a waterproof instant camera for $20 for those who forget, but it's definitely cheaper to buy one in Japan).

After getting wet in our swimsuits, it can be surprisingly cold on the boat with the wind, so in addition to a bath towel, I think having something like a windbreaker would be helpful.

船酔いしやすいので、なかなかこの手のツアーには手が出ない我が家なのですが、まったく船酔いなし！すっかり楽しんでまいりました。ランチも、船の上での簡単なブッフェなのに、とてもおいしかったです。ウミガメに遭えるスポットでのシュノーケリングタイムもあり、小２の息子は父親を従え、オトナたちにまざって楽しんできました。
「ウミガメの上を泳ぎ、ウミガメが急に方向転換してぶつかってきたんだ！ざらざらしててびっくりした！でも、あっちがぶつかってきたんだから、タイホされないよね！」と大興奮で報告してくれました（＝ウミガメは触ってはいけないのです）。
船の上以外、日かげはないので、日焼け止めやラッシュガードは必須。防水カメラも必須（忘れた人用に防水インスタントカメラを$20であっせんしてくれますが、日本で買って行った方が断然安いです）。
水着が濡れた後、船の上で風にあたると意外と寒いので、バスタオルはもちろんですが、ウインドブレーカーのようなものがあるといいかと思います。

This is my fifth time in Hawaii, and it's a family tradition to come here. Since handling money can be a hassle, we choose the full package course. After experiencing bodyboarding here, my kids have become huge fans of it. This time, we revisited the sensations here before later having the real experience at Kailua Beach, where we usually go. Both adults and kids can have a lot of fun here. You might not be able to laugh and have such a good time at a pool in Japan? The international vibe really helps to open up the spirit. The barbecue lunch this time was well-received by the kids. To be honest, it wasn't good in the past, but it was delicious this time. If the budget allows, I think the full package course is really convenient. This pool is definitely an activity we can't miss next summer.

ハワイはもう五回目ですが、必ず行くのが家族の決まりです。お金持つのが面倒なので、フルセットのコースを選択します。子供は、ここでボディーボード体験してから、ボディーボード大好きっ子になりました。今回も、やっぱりここでまず感覚を思い出し、後日、いつも行っているカイルアビーチで本番体験してました。大人も子供も、ここでいっぱい楽しめます。日本のプールじゃここまで笑ってワイワイ騒げないかも？インターナショナルな感じがやっぱり気持ちを開放的にさせるんですね。今回のバーベキューランチは子供たち
に好評でした。ハッキリ言って今まではＮＯ ＧＯＯＤでしたけど、おいしかったですよ。もしも予算が許すならば、全部セットのコースの方が、本当に楽ちんだと思います。来年の夏もこのプールは絶対に外せないアクティビティです。

My client called wanting a dinner cruise at sunset so he could ask the woman of his dreams to marry him!

As his travel agent I opted to use Hawaii Activities. We booked the Sunset Dinner Cruise and Tom added the private dinning options with the complimentary professional picture.

I received a picture text at 2:30am from Tom indicating that Conni had said yes, taken by a cruise line staff!

My clients had an absolutely wonderful time with memories that will carry them through their life together.

The Travel DRS will in the future recommend this cruise to any/all my clients as an option for their Hawaii vacation.

The Travel DRS give a 5**** to Hawaii Activities.

Nice activity for all ages.

The thrilling slides and the excitement of the wave pool had the kids overjoyed. There are also pools that smaller children can enjoy. The bead ice was incredibly delicious. When the sun went down, it got a bit chilly, and while you could warm up in the jacuzzi, it was for ages 21 and over, so the kids were shivering.

スリル満点のスライダーの数々、波のプールの迫力に子供達は大喜びでした。小さい子供も十分楽しめるプールもあります。ビーズアイス（？）がめっちゃおいしかった。日がかげると肌寒くジャグジーであったまれるが、21歳以上利用のため子供は入れずふるえていた。

Hawaii was my third visit, and this tour is highly recommended. From the moment I joined the tour, I completely lost track of time. The staff were all great and fun, and the island, which felt like paradise, appeared in the middle of the ocean, truly living up to its name. It was incredibly beautiful...

Also, snorkeling around the coral was amazing! My child was so sad to leave that when we got back to the hotel, they were in a state of wanting to go again. The meals, although light snacks, were more than enough for me and very satisfying. This is a tour I would love to join again as a repeat visitor. Thank you very much!! I am truly moved.

ハワイは、3回目でしたが、今回のこのツアーはお薦めです。ツアー参加した瞬間から時間を忘れてしまうぐらいでした。スタッフがいい人ばかりで面白い、天国の島も、なんでこんな事になるのと思うぐらい、海の真ん中に島が出現して本当に、天国の島だったです。凄い綺麗で・・・・
そして、サンゴの周りをシュノーケリングがこれまた最高~、内の子なんぞは、帰りたくないと淋しげで、ホテルに着いた時は、もう一度連れて行けと逆切れ状態でした。食事も軽食とありましたが、私には十分で満足できる食事でした。再度、リピターで参加したいツアーです。ありがとうございました！！
感動、感動です。

This is definately educational for the kids. We had a great time...the show was great.

This was a great tour. I am planning on doing it again in 2009. Our tour guide/driver, Art, was great. Great deal and very informative.

It was an early morning departure from a still chilly start, but when we reached the point, we were able to see an unexpected pod of dolphins even from the boat. There were mother and baby dolphins, and dolphins jumping out of the water.

Due to the sea conditions that day, we ended up sitting on the ladder of the boat and peering into the water for dolphin watching, but we were able to see the dolphins swimming alongside the boat up close, which was truly moving.

After moving to a calm spot, we enjoyed plenty of snorkeling and encountered colorful fish and sea turtles. We also had fun playing with the kayak we brought on board, and the hamburgers and pineapples we ate on the boat were delicious!

The staff were all fun and considerate, keeping the participants engaged! I entrusted the camera to a local staff member for underwater dolphin photos, and we got a lot of great shots (laughs).

Finally, we even had a hula lesson, making it a wonderful experience. Despite being such a packed tour, it ended in half a day, allowing us to spend a meaningful day.

まだ肌寒い早朝からのの出航でしたが、ポイントに着くと、思いがけないほどのイルカの群れが船の上からでも確認できました。親子イルカや、海上にジャンプするイルカ・・。
この日は海のコンディションにより、船にかけたハシゴに腰掛け、水のなかに顔をつっこんでのドルフィンウォッチングとなりましたが、船と併走して泳ぐイルカ達の様子を、本当に間近で見ることができ、感動です。　
また、穏やかな場所に移動してから、たっぷりシュノーケリングもして、色とりどりの魚や海がめにも出会えました。他にも、船に積んできたカヤックで遊んだり、船上で食べたハンバーガーやパイナップルも美味しかったです☆　
スタッフが全員楽しく、気遣いのある方ばかりで、参加者を飽きさせません！
イルカの水中写真は、現地のスタッフの人にカメラを託して撮ってもらったら、いい写真が沢山撮れました（笑）。
最後にフラレッスンまでついて、いい経験になりましたよ。
こんな盛り沢山のツアーなのに半日で終わるので、１日有意義に過ごせました。

Thank you for your help.
My family booked a trip to Big Splash. We were looking forward to this tour even before we went, and it was incredibly fun, living up to our expectations, and our whole family was very satisfied. The park was not as large as we thought, so we were able to see everything within the time we had, and there were thrilling attractions that you wouldn't find in Japan, making it an exciting day. However, it was a bit cold since it was March, which was a bit disappointing.

お世話になりました。
家族でビッグスプラッシュを申し込みました。行く前から楽しみにしていたツアーだったのですが、期待を裏切らないとてもおもしろいもので、家族全員大満足しました。園内は思ったより広くなかったので、時間内にすべて回ることができましたし、日本では考えられないスリル満点のアトラクションもあり、大興奮した一日でした。ただ、3月ということで、ちょっと寒かったのが残念です。

This experience was wonderful and educational. Our tour guide Mon was fantastic and very informative. He took extra time with my 7 year old and encouraged her to participate in activities. The Horizon show was spectacular. I can't wait to go back to Hawaii to visit the center again.
