Driver was informative. Very professional and helpful.

The water was about waist-deep, and I thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful sea. The ocean at Waikiki is also lovely, with waves and a lively crowd, but the sea at the sandbar was quiet, calm, and refreshing, with only tour participants around, making it truly wonderful!

The staff took many photos for us, and we enjoyed playing beach volleyball and having a hamburger lunch. After lunch, we went to see sea turtles and snorkeled around the coral reefs, enjoying plenty of activities. Many people brought waterproof bags to use their smartphones underwater, which is recommended for taking underwater photos. However, there was a girl who lost her credit card and room key because her bag was open, and her smartphone got submerged (it seemed to be waterproof), so please be careful.

水深は腰くらいあったけと、とても美しい海を堪能しました。ワイキキの海もきれいで波があり人もにぎわっていますが、サンドバーの海はツアーの人しかいなくて静かで穏やかで爽快な素敵な海でとても素晴らしかったです！！
写真もスタッフの方がたくさん撮ってくださったり、ビーチバレーを楽しんだり、ハンバーガーランチを楽しんだり。ランチの後も、ウミガメを見に行ったり、サンゴ礁周りをシュノーケリングしたり、たくさんアクティビティを楽しめました。水中でスマホを使える防水袋を持ってきている方がたくさんおられ、水中写真が撮れてお勧めです。ただ袋が空いて、クレジットカードとルームカードキーを無くされ、スマホが水没された女の子がいたので（防水仕様で大丈夫だったようです）、要注意してください。

This is my child's favorite tour, so we use it every time we go to Hawaii (about the 6th time?). This time, there were no restroom breaks or turtle watching on the way there. Maybe that meant we had more time to play? It was our first time going on a Saturday, so that might be why.

Overall, we enjoyed it as usual! (*^^*)

子供がお気に入りのツアーなので、ハワイに行くたびに利用させて頂いてます、(6回目くらい？)
今回いつもと違ったのが行きのトイレ休憩と亀ウォッチングがありませんでした。
その分遊ぶ時間が長かったのかな？
土曜日に行ったのは初めてだったのでそのためかもしれません。

全体的にはいつも通りに楽しめました(*^^*)

This was my family and I’s first time going to a luau. The atmosphere was very fun and welcoming. The dancers did a great job, especially the chief that danced with the fire. The drinks were nice and I like that we had unlimited soft drinks. The only downside is that the buffet was a bit underwhelming. Overall, my family and I enjoyed ourselves.

This is my second time on the 5-Star cruise. This time, I wanted to see the fireworks on Friday, so I made a reservation here.

I enjoyed the meal and Hawaiian-style cocktails. By the time I was seated, the appetizers were already prepared, and the lobster and salad were easy to eat.

If you want to relax and enjoy a calm atmosphere, I recommend the window-side seats on the 3 or 5-Star cruises.

In the past, I took a photo with the captain at the entrance, but this time it was taken at my seat.

2回目の5スター乗船です。
今回は金曜日の花火も見たくて、
こちらを予約しました。

お食事とハワイらしいカクテルを楽しみました。
お席に着いた時にはもう前菜が用意されており、
ロブスターやサラダは食べやすかったです。

落ち着いた雰囲気でゆっくり楽しむなら
窓側指定の3か5スターがおすすめです。

お写真は以前は入口で船長さんと一緒に撮影しましたが、今回はお席での撮影でした。

I went on my honeymoon.
There were many people from overseas around, and I was anxious because I couldn't speak English, but there was a friendly Japanese guide, which made me feel at ease and enjoy the experience.
While the tour explanations were in English, the Japanese guide provided clear explanations separately.
When we arrived at the sandbar, I was surprised by how beautiful the sea was, even more than I had imagined. It was my first time snorkeling, and the water's clarity was amazing, allowing us to see the fish and coral reefs clearly, which was a lot of fun!
The hamburgers we ate on the boat were exceptional!
When boarding the boat, we secured our luggage and seating, but it felt nice to place our things outside during the ride with the refreshing wind. The restroom is inside the boat, so it's not very clean, but it can't be helped.
Of course, you'll get sunburned, so it's best to take proper precautions.
It became a wonderful memory of my trip, and I would love to go again if I visit Hawaii!

ハネムーンで行きました。
周りは、海外の方が多く、英語もできないので不安もありましたが、日本人の気さくなガイドさんがいて、安心して楽しめました。
英語でツアーの説明がある中、別で日本人のガイドさんが分かりやすく説明してくださいました。
サンドバーに着くと、想像していたより海がとても綺麗で驚きました。初めてのシュノーケリングでしたが、海の透明度がすごいので魚やサンゴ礁がはっきりと見えて楽しかったです！
船の上で食べるハンバーガーも格別でした！
船に乗ると自分たちが荷物を置く場所や座る場所を確保するのですが、船の中ではなく、外に置くと移動中風が気持ち良いです。トイレは船の中なので、綺麗とは言えませんが、仕方ないですね
日焼けももちろんするので、しっかり対策した方がいいです。
旅行中の素敵な思い出になりました、またハワイに行ったら行きたいと思います！

I requested a shuttle from the Hilton in Waikiki. With a schedule of departing at 8 AM and returning at 4 PM, it was perfect for leisurely sightseeing in Kailua and then enjoying more time in Waikiki. The driver on the day was very kind, as was the Japanese staff member at the Kailua shop who assisted us. Kailua Beach, just a 3-minute walk from the shop, and Lanikai Beach, a 20-30 minute walk from there, were both as wonderful as the reviews suggested, and they are fantastic beaches not too far from Waikiki. When we returned to the shop, it was just past 12:30 PM, but the staff kindly offered to take us to Kailua Town at 1:30 PM, allowing us to stay in town for an hour and a half. Thanks to their flexible scheduling, we were able to enjoy both the beach and the town. Although we were cutting it close, the four types of beer from Lanikai Brewing were delicious. The shop was clean, and I appreciated being able to use it for lunch and change in the changing room inside. I highly recommend this for anyone wanting to enjoy Kailua with a shuttle service.

ワイキキのヒルトンからの送迎をお願いしました。8時出発、16時帰着というスケジュールで、ゆったりとカイルアを観光し、戻ってワイキキでもうひと楽しみするなら、最適と思います。当日のドライバーさんも、現地カイルアのショップで対応して下さった日本人スタッフさんもとても親切でした。ショップから徒歩3分のカイルアビーチ、そこから、20-30分歩いてのラニカイビーチはどちらも評判通りで、ワイキキからそう遠くない素晴らしいビーチでした。ショップに戻ったら、12時30分過ぎになっていたのですが、そこで、スタッフさんから1時30分にカイルアタウンへ送って下さり、タウンに1時間半滞在、という提案をいただき、その柔軟なスケジュール調整のおかげで、ビーチとタウンを両方楽しめました。時間ギリギリでしたが、ラニカイブリュワリーのビール4種類も美味しかったです。ショップはきれいで、そこを昼食に使わせてもらえたのも、ショップ内の更衣室で着替えができたのもありがたかったです。送迎でカイルアを楽しみたい方にはお勧めします。

Hands down would do again! The luau was amazing, and everyone was so kind and worked so hard to put on an amazing show. We also got to swim in the falls which was amazing. Definitely recommend! If you're reading this, just book it. You won't regret it. It was also kid friendly. I took my 1 year old and everyone loved
him and took extra effort to involve him in the cultural activities.

The food was delicious, and above all, the show was wonderful! It was fun, like experiencing the history of Hawaii. Elvis looked just like him.

食事も美味しかったし、何よりショーが素敵でした！ハワイの歴史みたいな感じで楽しかったです。
エルビスはそっくりでした

This was the highlight of our island hopping experience!.. family of 6.. ages 9, 12, 17 and 21 and they all said this was the best part of our travel time in Oahu and the big island!.. looking forward to doing it again on our next visit!!! Directions were clear to meet at harbor, check in with ease and lunch was delicious!. Crew is so helpful and fun. Will recommend to anyone who visits.. family and friends including those fb groups for tips on travel here..

The show was super entertaining! 10/10.
The food was fantastic and they don’t let you go hungry :). 10/10
The bar drinks were disappointing. We each had 2 and none were drinkable. 1/10

The crew and the team were awesome. The excursion was truly memorable.

I boarded with my two small children, and it didn't rock too much, so the kids had a great time! The view was completely different from what we usually see from the beach; we could see beautiful beaches, the airport, and even the commercial buildings of Hawaii from halfway across the island. I want to participate again!

小さな子供2人を連れて乗船しましたが、そこまで揺れず、子供も楽しめました！
いつもビーチから見る風景とは全然違い、美しいビーチや、空港、ハワイの商業ビルまで島の半分側から全て見渡せるほどでした。
また参加したいです！

It's been decades since I last rode a catamaran, and since there was no sunset time setting, we boarded during the day. Even those who are weak on boats can enjoy it without worry. I knew the front would get splashed, but there were unexpected big waves. One of my companions' phones ended up submerged. It needed repairs right after returning home.

Seeing Waikiki from the sea while being blown by the wind allows you to spend a wonderful time. I got a good sunburn in those two hours, so make sure to take proper sun protection measures.

何十年ぶりのカタマラン、サンセットタイムの設定がなかったので昼に乗船
船に弱い人でも安心して楽しめます。前のほうは波をかぶることわかっていたのに、予想外の大波。同行者の携帯が水没状態。帰国後すぐに修理でした。
海からみるワイキキは風に吹かれながらマラマな時を過ごせます。この２時間でしっかり日焼け。日焼け止め対策はしっかりしましょう

I will be simple and straight, please see my following points.

1. I booked sit down dinner, not buffet, overall food presentation look good, taste good too. Drinks are good too.
2. Service is just so so, the server for my table never gets me things I asked for, example, refill water, lemon, and my second glass of drink, I understand it's a busy task and have to serve all plates and take finishing plates away, and each server takes care of couple tables, but this should not be used as an excuse for service quality.
3. The show is good, but it's kind short, I wish we can see the full stage of Luau show, but the center stage is pretty small, so in order to accommodate every guest, they always have couple dancers on each side,

Tour driver was knowledgeable and was funny too. She knew the History and insight on the area.

As overseas visitors we were able to see and learned on what actually happened about the surprise attack on the Pearl Harbor naval facilities based on the videos presented and ships hit by the surprise attack. How the US navy base survived the attack. Our visit to the historical place was a big help on our history knowledge.

I was satisfied with the fulfilling live show.

I think it was more enjoyable than other regular Hawaiian shows. The price was also cheaper compared to others.

充実したライブショーで、満足できました。

他の普通のハワイアンショーよりも楽しめると思います。
値段も他に比べるとやすかったです。

I was torn between expensive luau shows, but choosing this one was definitely the right decision! It's the best entertainment you can only see here in Hawaii. Personally, I found the men's hula show to be rare and powerful, and I especially liked it.

高額なルアウショーと迷いましたが、こちらにして大正解！
ハワイのここでしか見られない最高のエンタメです。個人的には男性のフラショーが珍しく、迫力があって特に気に入りました。

A very professional high-quality show filled with authentic elements of traditional cultures, like how they instantly made baskets out of coconut leaves. Particularly, the host was good, that he was able to play with fire while being a genuine comedian, making fun of lovers and kids in such a delightful way. True respect to the host, our chief that night!

At the entrance, there was someone who spoke Japanese and provided various explanations. Although the price included the paid bodyboarding attraction that I had researched before participating, it was closed. The staff at the entrance also said, "Please participate, it's really fun," but it was closed. I wondered why. I felt like I wanted a discount for that. (Especially since my child was looking forward to it.) Other than that, it was the same as the last time I participated; perhaps because it was a weekday, they opened the neighboring attractions in order.

入口には日本語が話せる方がいて、色々と説明して頂けました。
参加前に調べて頂いたボディーボードの有料アトラクション込みの料金なのにクローズでした。
入口のスタッフの方も、是非たのしいので参加してみてください。と言っていたのに　クローズ。なぜ？と思いました。
なら、その分の値段を引いてもらいたいなぁと思ってしまうぐらいでした。
（子供が楽しみにしていたので余計）
それ以外は、以前も参加した時と同じ様に平日の為か隣同士のアトラクションを順番で開けていました。

My 20-year-old daughter is shy and dislikes the ocean, so she was adamant about not wanting to try snorkeling. The entire crew encouraged her, saying they would help her along, but she still refused. However, the way they maintained a respectful distance was really nice. They told us that it was okay not to go and that we didn't have to force ourselves, which made us feel like we didn't miss out. In the end, despite her initial reluctance, my daughter had a great time and created wonderful memories. They also took some really beautiful photos.

娘20歳はシャイで海が嫌いなのですが、シュノーケル体験は頑なにしたくないと。
クルーの方全員が、引っ張ってあげるから行こうと誘ってくださいました。それでも拒否、でも無理矢理でない距離感がすごく良かったです。
行かなかった私達に行けなくて、無理しなくてよかったね。と声をかけてくれて、損をした感じがしなかったです。
結果、娘はあんなに嫌がっていたのにとても楽かったと、よい思い出が作れました。
写真もすごく素敵に撮ってくれました。

I attended with children. We were looking forward to the lazy river, but it was closed all day. Including the transportation, it felt really expensive.

子供連れで参加しました。
流れるプール目当てだったのに、一日中クローズ。
送迎まで入れるとめちゃくちゃ高く感じました。

The crew was so kind, and I'm grateful! I want to go on such a fun tour again!

The sandbar was beautiful, and I was able to encounter sea turtles, so I had a meaningful time!

クルーの人優しすぎて感謝してます！
こんな楽しいツアーはまた行きたいです！

サンドバー綺麗で、ウミガメにも出会えて有意義な時間過ごせました！

It was my first time participating, and it exceeded my expectations! My wife is very pleased and wants to join again next year. We were the only Japanese couple, but a foreigner in front of us spoke to us and took our picture with their phone. Thanks to them, we have a great memento. The sunset from the boat was the best memory.

初めての参加でしたが期待通り、期待以上かな！ワイフは来年もまた参加したいとご満悦ですね。日本人は我々夫婦だけでしたが目の前にいた外人さんが声を掛けてくれて携帯で我々を撮ってくれました。お陰様で良い記念になりました。船上からのサンセットは最高の記念です。

The personalities of the two were wonderful, and the pleasant sea breeze and beer were the best! Just before reaching Diamond Head, it started to rain and got cold, so we had to turn back unexpectedly, but since the weather is beyond our control, it doesn't affect my evaluation at all. If you're worried, it might be a good idea to bring a sports towel or a hooded rash guard.

More than that, the view of the ocean from the boat, the changing colors of the sea as we went further out, the flying fish jumping around, the blue sky, and above all, the fun atmosphere on the boat made for an incredibly enjoyable experience for both my daughter and me. It truly became a great memory. I think the cost-performance is also very good. I highly recommend it!

お二人の人柄も、気持ちの良い海風とビール、最高でした！ダイヤモンドヘッドに着く手前で雨が降り出して寒く、急遽引き返してやり過ごすことになりましたが、天気はどうしようもないので、全く評価の対象外です。心配な方は、スポーツタオルやフード付きのラッシュガードのようなものを持参されるとよいかもしれません。
それより船から見る沖の景色や沖に出る程に変わる海の色、周りで飛び跳ねる飛び魚、青い空、何より船上の楽しい雰囲気で娘も私も最高に楽しく本当に良い思い出になりました。コスパもとても良いと思います。お勧めです！

Captain Amy and her crew made our day!

One of the highlights of our trip. We brought our very adventurous 2 and a half year old out with us to swim with turtles and the crew were amazing and supportive!

Thank you ladies for making our day. ❤️

Family of four, including one, four-year-old and one two year-old. First time for the kids on a boat and we had a blast. The staff is extremely friendly, courteous, and personable. They made sure my kids were safe and comfortable. The time frames were very appropriate, the staff kept everyone engaged and entertained. Some staff shout outs for Brandon, Jeremy Natalie, Faith, the guy holding the mike (sorry I forgot his name!!) . And yes we saw TONS of dolphins.

I had been to Kailua before, but my wife wanted to visit a specific store, and we could also go to Whole Foods, plus we could snorkel at Lanikai, so I decided to join. We opted for bike rentals. Riding through the streets of Kailua on a bicycle felt very local and was great. I was able to take my time and enjoy the scenery that I would have missed if I were in a car. It was my first time snorkeling at Lanikai, and to my surprise, a sea turtle appeared right in front of me! I've seen sea turtles many times, but seeing one so close and in the water was an incredible experience. The only downside was the lack of shade; if you go, I recommend bringing a tent or an umbrella. Also, the snorkeling goggles weren't treated with anti-fog, so they fogged up quickly, and seawater kept getting in, so I would like to suggest improvements on that.

カイルアの街は初めてではなかったけど、妻が行きたい店があったし、ホールフーズにも行けるし、ラニカイでシュノーケルができるので参加しました。オプションはレンタサイクルにしました。カイルアの街を自転車で走るのは地元感があって良かった。車だと通り過ぎてしまう景色をゆっくりと見れました。初めてラニカイでシュノーケルをしましたが、なんとウミガメが目の前に！ウミガメは何度も見たことがありますが、こんな近くでそれも海の中で見れるなんて感度でした。ただ日陰がないのが残念、行く場合はテントかパラソルを持って行くのが良いかと。あとシュノーケルのメガネがくもりどめが塗ってないのかすぐに曇るのと、海水がすぐに入ってくるので改善をお願いしたい。

The food, service, and entertainment were very good. The trip was organized well. Very clean facility and the experience was so enjoyable. We loved the sunset and fireworks while onboard. We'd take friends along on another cruise in the future. This is a great idea for special occasions.
