I was taken care of during the Honolulu Marathon in December. There were staff members who spoke Japanese, so safety measures were well in place. My wife said it was cold when she came out of the ocean. As an older man, I didn't feel that at all, but it might be good to have a larger bath towel and a hoodie, especially for women. I had a wonderful time swimming with sea turtles!

12月ホノルルマラソンの時にお世話になりました。日本語を話せるスタッフがいるので安全対策もしっかりしてました。
家内が海から出ると寒いと。
おっさんの私は全く思いませんでしたが、大きめバスタオルとパーカーあるといいかもしれません、特に女性。
ウミガメとも泳げて素敵な時間を過ごせました！

This was my second time participating. The first time was with my family, and this time I joined with friends.

I had a great time trying scuba diving for the first time and even got to meet a honu (sea turtle). I would like to participate again with my family next time!

２回目の参加でした。１回目は家族で、今回は友達との参加〜

初体験のスキューバーダイビングもできてホヌにも出会うことができ、楽しかったです。今度はまた家族と参加したいです〜

Our tour guide Ron was very informative during our trip with him. Had a great day. Would recommend the tour to my friends if they were looking for a day of adventure.

The tide was not low enough to walk, but the sea was very beautiful. The snorkeling was great, and the guide joined us, allowing us to see sea turtles. The water was a bit cold, so we couldn't stay in for too long; we enjoyed warm drinks and snacks on the boat while taking breaks. Next time, I want to participate during the hot summer season.

潮が引いて歩けるという状態では無かったですが海がとても綺麗で
シュノーケリングもガイドさんが一緒に来てくれてウミガメも見ることができました。水が少し冷たかったのであまり長くいるのは寒かったので船で温かい飲み物を飲んだりお菓子を食べたり休みながら遊べました。
今度は真夏の暑い時期に参加したいです。

According to the captain, if you're lucky, you might see dolphins. We were in Honolulu the day before, and a whale appeared, which heightened our spirits and allowed us to have an unexpectedly wonderful time.

キャプテンによると、運が良ければイルカが見れるとのこと。私たちはホノルル前日であったが、クジラがあらわれ、機運が高まったことから予想以上に素晴らしい時間を過ごせた。

Thank you very much to all the staff for your great support. Many of you spoke Japanese, and the explanations were easy to understand, which allowed me to enjoy the activities with peace of mind.
The water level was high that day, reaching about chest height (>_<) haha.
I was really glad to encounter a sea turtle while snorkeling.
It was a wonderful experience. Thank you very much.

スタッフの皆様大変お世話になりありがとうございました。日本語を話せる方が多く説明も分かりやすく、安心してアクティビティが楽しめました。
この日の水位は高く、胸くらいありましたが(>_<)笑笑
シュノーケルの時にウミガメにも逢えて本当に良かったです。
良い体験が出来ました。ありがとうございました。

I used this service for my honeymoon. We started by going out to sea on a boat, first heading to the sandbar where we enjoyed beach volleyball, snorkeling practice, and taking photos. After that, we had hamburgers on the boat and moved to a snorkeling spot.

The luggage could be stored under the seats on the boat. Since you'll be getting wet when taking towels or accessing your belongings after coming out of the water, I recommend bringing a bag that can get wet. For changing, I wore my swimsuit underneath, so I stored the clothes I wore on the boat under the seat. A bag that can hold clothes without getting them wet would be ideal.

The water at the sandbar was waist-deep, and I had a great time. The color of the water clearly distinguished between the sandbar and the deeper areas, which made it easy to enjoy. The crew really pumped up the excitement during beach volleyball, making it a lot of fun. The hamburgers were delicious and served BBQ style. Soft drinks were unlimited as part of the tour fee, while alcohol was $8 per drink, and those who had drinks settled their bills at the end of the tour.

We were able to see many sea turtles and mantas during our travels. It seems that mantas might not be visible at certain times, so we were lucky to see them twice. We snorkeled near the coral and saw many beautifully colored fish. Although I didn't see any, some people did spot turtles. The crew's explanation of snorkeling was very easy to understand, so even beginners will be fine.

After getting off the boat, we had to return to it on our own, so I think it's safer for anyone not confident in their stamina to wear a life jacket to enjoy the experience without worry. After returning from snorkeling, the crew pours warm water over you. There are no changing rooms or showers after the tour, so it's a good idea to quickly change in the restroom before it gets cold or to wrap yourself in a thicker towel.

ハネムーンで利用しました。
船で海に出て最初はサンドバーへ行き、ビーチバレーや、シュノーケリングの練習、写真撮影等楽しみました。そのあと船の上でハンバーガーを食べ、シュノーケリングスポットに移動しました。
荷物は船の座席の下に収納できるようになっていました。
海から上がってきて濡れた状態でタオルをとったり荷物を出し入れするので濡れてもいいカバンを持って行くのがいいと思います。
着替えは下に水着を着て行くので船の上で着ていた服を脱いで席の下に収納します。濡れないように服も入れられる大きさのカバンがいいと思います。
サンドバーは水面が腰あたりでしたがとても楽しめました。水の色がサンドバーのところと深いところとはっきりわかれているので安心して楽しめました。
ビーチバレーはクルーの方がとても盛り上げてくれ楽しかったです。
ハンバーガーはBBQスタイルで美味しかったです。
ソフトドリンクはツアーの料金内で飲み放題、アルコールは1杯8ドルで飲んだ方はツアーの最後にまとめてお会計されていました。
移動中にウミガメやマンタをたくさん見ることができました。
マンタは時期によっては見れないこともあるそうで2回も見れてラッキーとのことでした。
シュノーケリングはサンゴの近くに行って行いました。
キレイな色のお魚がたくさん見れました。
私は見れませんでしたがカメが見れた人もいました。
クルーの方のシュノーケリングの説明はとてもわかりやすかったので初めてでも大丈夫です。
船から出てからは自分たちで船に戻らないといけないので体力に自信がある方以外はライフジャケットを着た方が安心して楽しめると思います。
シュノーケリングから戻ったらクルーの方が温かいお湯を上からかけてくれます。
終了後更衣室やシャワー室はないので寒くなる前にトイレ等でささっと着替えるか上から厚めのバスタオルを羽織るといいと思います。

It was a very fun atmosphere! It was a bit cold, and we ended up leaving early, but they gave us warm cocoa and poured hot water on us, which helped ease the chill a bit! We also got to see sea turtles and manta rays! It was enjoyable to see small fish up close too! It turned out to be a great honeymoon! Thank you! Lastly, there was a tip box at the end, so it felt like we should put in a little something.

とても楽しい雰囲気でよかった！少し寒くて、はやめにあがってしまったけど、暖かいココアくれたり、お湯をかけてくれたりしてくれて、少し寒さ軽減！
ウミガメもみれて、マンタ？もみれました！
小さい魚も近くで見れて楽しかった！
良いハネムーンになりまた！ありがとうございますした！
最後にtipをはらう箱があったので、気持ちほど入れてくださいって感じでした！

The timings and organisation of the tour were good. We were picked up from the airport and taken to see the Volcano National Park sites with a good guide who kept us informed and was accommodating of our needs. Unfortunately you can't schedule nature and we didn't see any volcanic activity apart from a little steam, but it was still interesting, especially the lava tube.
We had a helicopter tour with Blue Hawaiian Helicopters to finish off with, but I will not review that part, I will review their admin however. We really wanted a copy of the video of our flight as it was for a 50th birthday, but due to a technical difficulty could not get it at the time. We were told to just drop them a line, but after several emails and calls, still nothing - very disappointed in them.

What a time, brings you away from the city and they put on a great show! Food was ono!

Gorgeous crystal clear water the entire boat ride. Pack your sunscreen though the sun was hot!!

My son had a blast here. Expensive but hey the dolphins are too cute!

The luau was full of jokes and lots of laughing. Best medicine!!

We would love to munch at this buffet again, everything was so flavorful! The evening was a wonderful experience.

The staff members cheerfully dispel any worries with their smiles and conversations, creating a fun atmosphere. I was able to see the honu (sea turtles) as well, and I was especially moved by the beauty of the white sand and blue sea. There's no need to hold back, even if you're older; it's enjoyable!

スタッフの皆さんが笑顔と話しで不安を吹っ飛ばし、楽しく盛り上げてくれます。
ホヌにもしっかり会えましたし、何より白い砂と碧い海の美しさに感動です。
年配でも遠慮は不要、楽しいです！

In the past, I participated in a package tour that allowed us to enjoy multiple activities in one day, but we decided that this Ocean Voyage was the most fun, so if you're going, this is the one to choose! It feels great to move forward while experiencing the wind and splashes of the waves out in Kaneohe Bay, and I think it's an experience you can't easily find elsewhere. Horseback riding and the luau tour are also good, but this is definitely the best! Along the way, the instructor explained about the plants and fruits before boarding, and even after we got on, they took a lot of photos in various poses. I highly recommend it!

過去に1日で複数のアクティビティを楽しむパッケージツアーに参加したのですが、私達はこのオーシャンボヤージが1番楽しかったので、行くならこれだ！と決めておりました。カネオヘ湾の沖まで風と波しぶきを受けながら進むのはとても気持ちが良く、他ではなかなか経験できないと思います。乗馬やラプターツアーも良いのですがやはりこれが1番です! 途中インストラクターの方が乗船する迄の間も植物や果物の説明をしてくださったり、乗船してからもいろいろなパターンで写真を沢山撮って下さいます。とてもオススメです。

Very early pick up but tour was well organised. Only concern was having lunch at about 11.15am in aviation museum - a bit too early. Not sure the 10 minute quick stop on the way back into Honolulu counted as a city tour. Otherwise a good tour highly recommended for a full day.

You can feel the Christmas Season riding in the open air bus. Me and my family had a great experience. Love the music playing so much. Thank you!

First of all, there was no guidance in Japanese from start to finish. The dining setup was not at individual tables but rather at a long table for more than ten people. We attended as a couple, and instead of having reserved seats, we were guided to sit in order, side by side rather than across from each other. As soon as we sat down, drinks were served, but it seemed there was a set time for the meal, so we couldn't eat right away. There was one pineapple slice for every four people, so we passed the time eating that, but honestly, it wasn't sweet or particularly tasty. The buffet was served in order based on instructions. I thought the food was delicious. I was surprised by how rare the roast beef was! The dessert was also tasty. The show during the meal was good, partly because it was close! After the meal, we moved to the theater, but I wasn't sure when to move or which seats were ours. I entered the theater based on the flow of people, and once inside, we were also guided to our seats in order. Since we entered early, we ended up with pretty good seats! There was no information or stickers given to us. Even though we didn't know Elvis, we had a great time at the show. After it ended, we had the opportunity to take photos with the cast, and we took plenty without hesitation and left happily.

まず、日本語での案内等最初から最後まで一切ありません。食事は個別のテーブルではなく、10人以上の長テーブルで、夫婦で参加しましたが、予約席というか、順番に席をはじから案内され、向かい席でなく隣で並んで座りました。座ってすぐにドリンクが出ましたが、食事は決まった時間があるようでなかなか食べられなく、４人に１つパイナップルが置いてあるので一切れですがこれを食べながら時間をつぶしました、正直これは甘くもなく美味しいとは言えません。ビュッフェは順番に指示があってから取りに行きます。味については美味しいと思います。ローストビーフの生すぎるのには驚きました！デザートも美味しかったです。食事中のショーも近かったせいもあるが良かったです！食後にシアターに移動ですが、これがいつ移動したらいいのか、どの席なのかわからなかったです。人の流れを見て自分の判断でシアターに入ると、中に人がいて、ここでも順番に席を案内されました。早めに入ったせいかなかなかいい席でした！何かステッカーをもらうとか案内をもらうとか何もありません。ショーはエルビスを知らない我々でも大変楽しかったです。終了後、キャスターとの写真撮影が可能で、遠慮せずドンドン撮って楽しく帰りました。

No words can describe it.
It was a great experience

The ship is comfy, they also provide drinks.
Snorkeling spot is great, saw sea turtles and of course a lot of fishes.
We were very lucky to see 4 spots of dolphins swimming just around us and jumping and spinning.
Great crew, very friendly and helpful.
We brought 2 babies (18 months) with us, they also had a great time, could tell from their face :)

Attending a private tour allowed us to set out immediately for the dolphins when spotted them. Will def. choose to do private tour again next time.

During my trip to Hawaii, I attended several luau shows, but most of them were viewed from dining areas, making it difficult to see through the crowd. However, this show featured a short luau show and luau experience right at the dining location. The show was incredibly close to our seats, providing an impressive experience. The food, including tuna poke and white fish, was perfectly suited to Japanese tastes. After the meal, we moved to a dedicated hall to enjoy the show in luxurious, comfortable seats reminiscent of a movie theater. The performance showcased impersonators of Michael from various eras, as well as a variety of regional luau shows, which left me thoroughly satisfied. I found this show to be more satisfying than others, and I would love to participate again, even with friends.

ハワイに来て、今まで何か所か色んなルアウショーを観ましが、ほとんどが食事した場所で観る事が多いので、ルアウショーを観るには人の隙間から観る事が多いですが、このショーは、食事の場所では、短いルアウショーとルアウ体験がおこなわれました。ルアウショーは、席の近くで観れるので迫力満点です。料理は、マグロのポケや白身魚など日本人の口にバッチリ合ってます。食事の後に行われるショーは、食事会場から専用ホールへ移動して鑑賞で映画館バリの豪華で座り心地の良い席で鑑賞します。ショーは、古い年代から現代までのアメリカやハワイのマイケルのそっくりさんをはじめ、各地域のルアウショーをたっぷり鑑賞出来たので、大満足でした。他のルアウショーより満足度が高いので、又、参加したいし、友達同士でも行きたいです。

A waterproof case is essential for taking photos and videos. It's also better to use a neck strap. There was someone in the same group who dropped their smartphone into the sea while it was in their pocket. The guide searched for it that day but couldn't find it, and they mentioned they would look for it again during tomorrow's tour, but it's unclear if it was found.

The tour was satisfying. There were two boats, and we were divided into English and Japanese groups. First, we practiced snorkeling at the sandbar. The sandbar was about waist-deep for adults. After that, we drove the boat through an area where sea turtles live. We were able to see about five sea turtles, and it was great to see them come up to the surface. Finally, we put on fins and flotation devices and swam around the coral. With the flotation devices, there was no worry about sinking, and it was nice to see tropical fish.

For lunch, we had hamburgers after swimming at the sandbar. The meat was large, flavorful, and delicious. The hamburger tasted especially good after swimming.

写真や動画を取るために防水ケースは必須。
また、首掛けタイプにしたほうがいいです。
同じ組にポケットにいれて、スマホを海中に落とされた方がいらしたので。
当日ガイドが探したが見つからず、ガイドの方が明日のツアー中にも探すと言ってましたが、見つかったかは不明。

ツアーは満足。
船は２隻で英語組と日本語組に分かれてツアーをしました。
まず初めにサンドバーでシュノーケリングの練習。
サンドバーは大人で腰くらいの高さ。
そのあと船を走らせウミガメがすんでるところを通ります。
ウミガメは5頭ぐらい見れて、首を海面に出すとこも見れてよかった。
最後に足ひれと浮き具を着てサンゴの周りを泳ぎます。
浮き具があるので、沈む心配はないし、熱帯魚も見れてよかった。

昼食はサンドバーで泳いだ後にハンバーガーをいただきました。
肉が大きくて味もしっかりしていておいしかった。
泳いだ後のハンバーガーはおいしく感じます。

First of all, I want to point out that all explanations from the reception until the end were in English. There was no broken Japanese, so those who can't speak English have to tough it out... (laughs) However, they conveyed the important parts through gestures, so I was able to understand somewhat.

Whether it was the location or just luck, we were able to see a lot of sea turtles. I left my smartphone on the boat, so I couldn't take any pictures, but having a water-resistant camera would be even better.

After snorkeling, we went sailing, and the sailing time was longer than I expected (laughs). Many people ended up feeling seasick, so motion sickness medication is a must.

That said, it was a course where we could enjoy beautiful fish, sea turtles, and the atmosphere of Hawaii on the boat, and I had a great time!

まず初めに注意して頂きたいのが、受付から解散までずっと英語での説明です。カタコト日本語とかも無いので英語ができない人は気合いで乗り切るしかありません…(笑)ただ重要な部分はジェスチャーで伝えてくれたのでなんとなくは理解することが出来ました。日本人参加者は私たち以外にいなかったので、他の参加者の方に聞くこともできませんでした…。

場所が良かったのか、運が良かったのか、ウミガメもたくさん見ることができました。スマホは船上に置いてきてしまったので撮影はできなかったのですが、水濡れOKのカメラがあるとなおいいかもしれません。

シュノーケリングが終わったあとはセーリングなのですが、セーリングの時間が思った以上に長いです(笑)船酔いしてしまう人が続出だったので、酔い止めは必須です。

とはいえ、綺麗な魚もウミガメも船上でハワイの風などの雰囲気も楽しめるコースとなっており、とても満喫出来ました！

The weather was nice on the day of the trip, but the air conditioning on the bus was so strong that it felt cold. After boarding the boat with the sound bar, I quickly understood the guide's explanation.

At first, we practiced snorkeling, then slowly peered into the water and realized I was surrounded by small fish. After that, we enjoyed watching sea turtles and dolphins.

It was really great!

当日は天気も良かったのですがバスの中のクーラーが効き過ぎる位効いて寒いくらいでした。サウンドバーに付き船に乗り込みガイドの説明ですぐに理解出来ました。
最初はシュノーケルの練習をした後ゆっくり水面を覗き込み小さな魚の中に自分が居るのがわかりました。その後海ガメ、イルカ　ウォッチングをたのしみました。
とても良かったです

We had great time at sandbar playing volleyball. Food was good. First time snorkeling but the whole crew was amazing and helped us. We saw lot of fishes, manta ray, turtles. Highly recommend!!

Everyone else was either American or Canadian, and we were completely away from it all. Everyone was incredibly cheerful, drinking and having a great time. The yacht didn’t sway at all, and we cruised through Maalaea Bay under clear skies. The view of Waikiki and Diamond Head from the ocean was wonderful, making for a happy two hours. This was the best part of the trip. I didn’t get seasick and felt absolutely refreshed. I will definitely ride again the next time I go to Waikiki.

我々以外はアメリカ人もしくはカナダ人で、完全にAwayでした。
皆さんすこぶる陽気で、お酒を飲んでめちゃめちゃ盛り上がっていました。
ヨットはまったく揺れず、快晴の中マララ湾を進んでいきました。
沖から眺めるワイキキやダイヤモンドヘッドの景色は素晴らしく、幸せな2時間でした。今回の旅行で一番良かったです。船酔いもせず、最高に気分爽快でした。次にワイキキに行ったときも必ず乗ります。

We participated as a family with a 12-year-old and a 6-year-old. The transportation was provided by a small bus with a Japanese-speaking driver to our hotel. It took about 30 minutes to the port, and then we arrived at the destination in about 15 minutes by a small ferry. The captain was very kind, stopping when we spotted sea turtles or when a guest's hat fell into the sea.

I had imagined the location to be a sandy beach, but it was a shallow area about 100 cm deep, so the 6-year-old needed a float. For water activities, there were floats, a small boat with windows to observe the seabed, and paddleboards. After playing for about an hour, those who wanted to went snorkeling.

Snorkeling is generally recommended for those who can swim on their own, but you can also hold onto the instructor's board for assistance. The instructions were provided on the boat with Japanese interpretation. Since putting on the mask can be a bit tricky, it might be smoother if you research it in advance. The 12-year-old accidentally swallowed some seawater and felt a bit sick later.

Under the sea, we could clearly see fish, corals, and sea turtles. Onboard, snacks, canned drinks, coffee, tea, and hot chocolate were freely available. Bringing your own food was also allowed. After playing in the sea, it can get a bit chilly, so it's advisable to bring a bath towel or a jacket. Don't forget to bring tips as well.

Overall, it was a wonderful experience.

12歳、6歳の子供を含む家族で参加しました。 送迎はホテルまで小さなバスで日本語堪能な方がしてくださいました。
港まで30分ほど、港から小型フェリーで現地まで15分ほどで現地到着でした。 船長は海面にウミガメが見えるときや、お客の帽子が海に落下した時に止まってくださったり大変親切な方でした。
現地は砂浜をイメージしていたのですが、100cmほどの深さの浅瀬で6歳の子は浮き輪が必要でした。
海遊びは浮き輪、海底が観察できる窓つきの小さなボート、パドルボードがあります。1時間ほど遊んだ後、希望者はシュノーケリングに行きました。
シュノーケリングは基本的に自身で泳げる方が推奨ですが、インストラクターのボードにつかまってつれてっていただくこともできます。
説明は船上で日本語通訳付きでしてくださいます。マスクの付け方がちょっと難しいので事前に調べておいた方がスムーズかもしれません。12歳の子は海水をちょっと飲んでしまい、後で気持ち悪くなっていました。
海の中は魚たち、サンゴ、ウミガメがばっちり見えましたよ。
船内はスナック、缶ジュース、コーヒー、紅茶、ホットチョコレートなど自由にいただけます。持ちこみも可です。
海で遊んだ後は少々寒いので、バスタオルや上着は持っていった方が良いでしょう。
チップも忘れずに持っていきましょう。
全体にすばらしい体験でした。
