This tour was truly a full day adventure! I am so happy I visited the PCC and took the time to learn more about Hawaiian culture. The family and I loved the Luau!

The food was very delicious, and the show was a lot of fun. I definitely want to come again. Thank you to everyone who took care of us.

お料理も、とても美味しかったし、ショーもとても楽しかったです。
また、是非来たいです。
お世話をして下さった皆様、ありがとうございました。

A bus will pick you up near the hotel and take you to the port where the boat is located. From there, you can board the boat and head out to sea! When we went, it was raining a bit and the weather was bad, and it was quite cold, but we were still very satisfied because we got to see sea turtles! The boat provides drinks and snacks. It was really cold, so having warm hot chocolate was a lifesaver!

We also had our children (11 and 6 years old) with us, and it was helpful that we could borrow child-sized floaties and snorkeling gear. There was one guide who spoke both English and Japanese. Since we live in the United States, we didn't necessarily need a Japanese tour, but this tour was cheaper compared to local tours, and having Japanese staff made us feel more at ease. It also seemed like many of the participants were quite reasonable people.

ホテルの近くまでバスが迎えに来てくれます。バスに乗って船がある港まで連れて行ってくれます。それから、船に乗って海へ！私たちの時は雨が少し降っており天候が悪く、かなり寒かったですが、それでもウミガメさんを見れたので大満足でした！船では飲み物やスナックを提供してくれます。かなり寒かったので、温かいホットチョコレートがあって助かりました！

私たちは子供たち（11歳と6歳）も一緒だったのですが、子供サイズの浮き輪やスノーケリングのグッズを借してもらえたので助かりました。ガイドの方々は英語・日本語どっちも話せる方が１名いました。私たちはアメリカ在住なので、日本語ツアーじゃなくても良かったのですが、現地のツアーに比べてもこのツアーは安かったですし、やっぱり日本人の方が安心できますし、参加される方々も常識がある方が多い気がします。

I stayed at Ko Olina and was a bit curious, so I went to check it out for my next trip with my grandchildren. Even as an elderly couple, we had a great time. We rented a cabana, which was a bit pricey, but it came with complimentary fruit and mineral water in the cooler, so it might be essential for shade. I've also made a reservation to take my grandchildren in July!

コオリナに宿泊してチョット気になっていたので次回の孫との旅行での下見のつもりで行って来ましたが老夫婦二人でも結構楽しめました、ガバナを借りましたがチョット高めですがフルーツとミネラルウォーターがクーラーボックスにサービスでついてくるので日除けには必須かもです
又7月に孫を連れて行く予約しましたよ〜!

We were blessed with good weather and had a wonderful tour. Our kind guide provided various pieces of advice in Japanese. Snorkeling was a fun experience, as we got to see a honu right in front of us. Next time, I will be bringing my grandchild in July. Thank you!

天気にも恵まれ楽しくツアーを出来ました
日本語で親切なガイドさんが色々とアドバイス頂き
シュノーケリングでは眼の前にホヌとご対面みたいな楽しいバケーションになりました
今度は孫を連れて7月に行きます、宜しくお願い致します
＼(^o^)／

Loved that I booked it for the family. We had a fun time snorkeling. Pick up from hotel was great, liked that the shuttle bus driver looked for us since we stood on the wrong bus stop. The crew was amazing and very friendly. The co-captain lady was the best. She took her time to show us how to use the snorkel, fit our life vest, gave us drinks. The captain was super friendly as well. The water was warm and clean. The boat was clean, restrooms to use and to change in were clean. Snorkels were clean and easy to use. Burgers was the best and we even had hot chocolate at the end of the swim. They took us to the shallow area first which was great, and then the deeper area, we saw coral reefs, lots of fish, and even sea turtles. It was amazing thing to see.
Only thing is, they didn’t have enough seats to sit outside, so we stayed inside during boat ride, and towards the end of the ride, everyone was cold so mostly everyone went inside, so we had to stand, which is ok, about 10 mins only. Overall, still a very awesome trip and would definitely go again!

I participated in June 2023. The pick-up from the hotel during my stay was convenient, and if you choose an activity with lunch included, the morning schedule isn't too early, which I recommend.

After about an hour's drive by bus, we arrived at Kaneohe Bay for boarding. There are restrooms at the dock, but it can get crowded with participants. Don't worry, there are also restrooms on the boat.

When boarding, there were separate boats for Japanese guests and guests from other countries, so the boat I boarded was filled with Japanese tourists. The guide spoke only Japanese, so there were no issues.

The sandy beach of the heavenly sea is more like a shallow area, with the water reaching up to my waist. We also had time to practice snorkeling.

As for the lunch, the hamburgers were freshly grilled on the boat, and the meat was quite delicious, which made me very satisfied.

After lunch, we moved by boat while watching the honu (sea turtles) and snorkeled for about an hour at a snorkeling spot before returning to the port and taking the bus back. I think we arrived at the hotel around 4 PM.

I was able to see the honu from the boat, but unfortunately, I didn't encounter any while snorkeling.

Overall, it was a very satisfying experience. Just be careful about sunburn.

2023年6月に参加しました。滞在中のホテルからのピックアップで、昼食付きアクティビティであれば朝もそこまで早くないのでおすすめです。
バスで1時間ほど走ったらカネオヘ湾に到着、乗船となります。船着き場にはトイレもありますが、参加客で混雑します。船の中にもトイレはありますのでご安心を。
乗船の際は、日本人客の船と、それ以外の国の客とに分かれて船が用意されているので、乗った船はすべて日本人観光客でした。ガイドも全て日本語でしたので問題ございません。
天国の海の砂浜は、砂浜というか浅瀬になっており、腰まで海水が届きます。シュノーケリングの練習時間も兼ねておりました。
昼食のハンバーガーですが、船内でお肉が焼かれた出来たてのもので、肉もかなり美味しく満足できました。
昼食後に船で移動して、移動しながらホヌをウォッチングしつつ、シュノーケリングスポットで1時間ほどシュノーケリング、帰港、バスで送迎となります。ホテル到着は16時ぐらいだったと思います。
ホヌは船から見れましたが、シュノーケリング中は残念ながら会えませんでした。
全体を通してかなり満足のいくものでした。ただ日焼けにはご注意を。

This luau was wonderful! Dinner was great, the service was well executed and we learned so much about the Polynesian culture. The show was awesome! Very talented performers who made it so much fun for everyone in attendance! This is a definite yes!!

As we crossed the mountain, it was raining in the valley, and I hoped that once we got over the mountain, it would clear up, but above the sea, there were clouds, clouds, and more clouds.

The moment we got off the shuttle and arrived at the dock, a downpour hit us ☔️. It stopped quickly, but it started raining again while we were on the boat..☔️. However, when we arrived at the sandbar, the rain stopped, and we all went snorkeling in the cloudy weather. We were able to see lots of fish and turtles! ☺️

It got a bit chilly, so we all got out of the water and enjoyed the rice balls, snacks, and drinks that were prepared on the boat during our break.

While we were resting, the sun peeked out ☀️!! In no time, the deep blue sea turned into an emerald color! I was lucky to see such a beautiful sea! After that, everyone enjoyed activities like stand-up paddleboarding and playing with floaties.

One slight disappointment was that we had to wear life jackets while snorkeling, which meant we couldn't dive down. However, since there were many corals, I think it was a necessary precaution to keep us floating and not touching the bottom. Also, since we were all snorkeling together, there were quite a few bumps and kicks throughout the experience, which was amusing. I recommend keeping some distance from each other while enjoying the activity!

The boat also provided warm drinks, so even though it was cold, it was surprisingly comfortable, and above all, I had a great time!

山を越えるので山の中は雨が降っていて、山を越えればと思いましたが海の上は雲、雲、雲。
そして送迎車を降りて船着場に着いた瞬間スコール☔️
すぐ止みましたが、船で移動中また雨が..☔️
でもサンドバーに着くと雨が止んでくれたので曇りの中みんなでシュノーケリング
魚や亀がたくさん見れました☺️！

寒くなってみんなでシュノーケリングから上がり、船で用意されたおにぎりやお菓子、飲み物を食べ飲みして休憩。


休憩していると晴れ間が☀️！！
あっという間に濃い青の海がエメラルドカラーに！
運が良かったのか、とても綺麗な海が見れてよかったです！
そのあとは各自SUPや浮き輪遊びなどで楽しめました。


ちょっと残念だったのはライフジャケットを着てのシュノーケリングなので潜れないことですかね。ただサンゴも多いので浮かせて足をつかせないようになどの配慮もあると思うのでそこは仕方ないと思いました。それから全員でシュノーケリングするので終始人にぶつかる、蹴られるが多かったです笑
各自で感覚を空けながら楽しむことをお勧めします笑


船では暖かい飲み物も用意してくれてるので寒くても案外平気ですし、なによりすごく楽しめてよかったです！

The two male crew members raising the sail were very cool, and with a happy song, we headed out to sea. The splashes of the waves were magnificent, the wind was pleasant, and I was moved by the majestic view of Diamond Head from the ocean. It was the best option for me. I will definitely ride again next time!

帆を揚げる2人の男性クルーがとてもcoolで、
ハッピーな曲とともに沖へ
波しぶきがとても豪快で、風も心地よく、
そして、沖から眺める雄大なダイヤモンドヘッドに感動
私にとって最高のオプションでした
次回も絶対乗ります‼️

After enjoying a buffet-style dinner, you'll be watching a show, so the time commitment will be longer. It’s better not to schedule anything else afterward. There is a roof, but since the dining is outdoors, there is no air conditioning. You can enjoy the lively atmosphere while watching hula dancing during the meal. I recommend this for your first trip to Hawaii.

ビュッフェ形式の夕食を楽しんだ後にショーを観るので拘束時間が長くなります。
次の予定は入れない方が良いでしょう。
屋根はありますが野外での食事なので空調はありません。
食事中もフラダンスも観れるので賑やかに楽しめます。
初めてのハワイ旅行でオススメします。

This time, I participated in my first trip to Hawaii with a Diamond Premier seat. With priority entry, I was able to sit right next to the stage, and it was an impressive show filled with the spirit of Hawaii! The food was also available to us first, and both the taste and portion size were great. However, everything from the entrance announcement was in English, so I couldn't understand the MC's jokes, which was a bit disappointing. It was a moment that made me realize the necessity of English conversation at my age. If the budget allows, I think it's better to participate with a Diamond Premier seat. Regular seats enter after the Diamond seats, and since the seating is further back, you can't feel the dynamism of the show.

今回は、初めてのハワイ旅行で、ダイヤモンドプレミアシートで参加させてもらいました。
優先入場で、席もステージの横で見ることができて、迫力があって、ハワイ感満載のショーでした！
料理も優先的に取ることができて、味もボリュームも問題ありませんでした。
ただ、入場案内から全て英語なので、MCのトークで笑いが起きても、理解出来ずで少し残念でした。英会話の必要性を、この年で感じた1シーンです。
予算が許すならば、ダイヤモンドプレミアで参加された方がいいと思います。レギュラーシートは入場がダイヤモンドシートのあとで、食事を取るのももあと、座席も後方なので、ショーのダイナミックさを感じることが出来ないです。

This is the 2nd year in a row my family and I have booked this snorkel cruise. We loved it each time. We loved being in the middle of the ocean snorkeling and being on the sand bar. We felt safe each time and had a lot of fun. The staff was wonderful and the food was great as well. Anytime we come to Oahu, Captain Bobs is our go to!

Such a great experience with the best crew and views! Drinks were great, safe environment, and family friendly.

Our honeymoon, and our first time in Hawaii!
We went to the sandbar (*^^*)
I heard it can be affected by the weather, but it was beautifully sunny! We also saw a lot of sea turtles, which was very moving (；＿；)
The hamburgers we had on the boat were exceptional!!
I definitely want to come back again!

新婚旅行にて、初めてのハワイ！
そしてサンドバーでした(*^^*)
天候によって左右されるとの事でしたが
見事に快晴！そしてウミガメも沢山見れてとても感動しました(；＿；)
船上で食べるハンバーガーも格別！！
また絶対来たいです！

I have been there for lunch before, and this time I visited for dinner. We went with six people, and since we had a reservation, we were smoothly guided to our seats. The dishes were all beautifully presented, and they tasted as good as they looked. I think it was a good deal since we booked through Veltra and had a course meal. We paid separately for drinks and tips on the day. I believe it's a restaurant where you can enjoy your meal with peace of mind. We made a reservation for 5:30 PM, but shortly after, it was fully booked, and there were people waiting at the reception, so it's definitely a place where reservations are necessary.

以前ランチで行った事があります、今回はディナーで訪問。
６名で行きましたが予約していたので、スムーズに席に案内していただきました。
お料理は見た目にどれも綺麗です。味も見た目通りで美味しかったです。
ベルトラさんで予約していたのでコースでしたが安くで済んだと思います。
飲み物は別料金とチップで当日支払いしました。安心して食事ができる店だと思います。
17：30予約していきましたが、少しすると満席で受付に待ってる人もいましたので、予約は必要な店ですね。

The hamburger with grilled meat that they made on the ship was delicious. The lady's conversation was enjoyable, and perhaps because the weather was nice, the ship didn't sway at all, so I didn't feel seasick. The sea was incredibly beautiful; there's no way it wouldn't look great in photos, all of them turned out amazing. I even got to see a sea turtle, so I was very satisfied.

船上で焼いて貰える肉が挟まったハンバーガーが美味しかった。
お姉さんの喋りも楽しく、気候が良かったのか全く船も揺れず、船酔いもありませんでした。
海も綺麗過ぎる、映えないわけがない、写真が全部神。
ウミガメにも会えたし大満足です。

We completely enjoyed our tour of this beautiful island. Our guide was amazing. Keyleon He had so much knowledge about the areas he expertly drove us to.
The only negative I found is that most people who took this tour were staying on this island. We did a flight from Oahu to Kauai. We missed our return flight due to slow traffic conditions. If you plan to island hop- make sure you get a later flight off this island or you will spend a huge amount of time in the airport.

Enjoyed the show. The entertainment was very good. We paid to be picked up. I am so glad we made that decision. Traffic was bad but our driver Johnny handled it like a pro. Greg checked us in and then narrated the trip. He had a great sense of humor and made the ride very enjoyable. The chief also had a great sense of humor and made the stories very interesting. We were also surprised with flowers for our anniversary. They were all very courteous and made you feel like part of the family. We will definitely go again if we are ever back in Hawaii.

we thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Kerry. The whole tour was a very somber experience and we learned much about Pearl Harbor. Kerry was knowledgeable on the Honolulu city tour. we would definitely take other tours with Kerry as our guide.

The food was a buffet, so it felt about right, but the show was amazing! I thought the wait for the food was a bit long. The show was something you have to see when you come to Hawaii; it was truly fantastic!

お料理はブッフェだしこんなもんかなー、という感じでしたが、ショーが最高でした！
料理が出てくるまでの時間が少し長かったかな、と思います。
ショーは、ハワイにきたらこれは見なきゃ！という感じで、とても最高でした！

I was anxious because I wasn't confident in my swimming skills, but several staff members who spoke Japanese provided solid support, allowing me to enjoy myself without worry. The waves were minimal, and since it was snorkeling in shallow waters, I was able to have fun safely! I felt like there were fewer fish to see, but I would recommend it for beginners. I also got to see a turtle!

They took a lot of photos for us, and we had a very relaxing and enjoyable time!

泳ぎに自信がないので不安でしたが、日本語が話せるスタッフ数人がしっかりサポートしてくださり、安心して遊べました。
波もあまりなく、浅瀬でのシュノーケリング だったので、安全に楽しめました！
その分、見れる魚は少なかった気もしますが、初心者にはおすすめです。
カメもみれました！

写真もたくさん撮ってくださり、とてもゆったりと楽しい時間が過ごせました！

The underwater scenery I saw while snorkeling was breathtaking. I enjoyed paddleboarding during my free time as well. Even when it was cold, there were warm drinks and light snacks available, which was great. I also got to see sea turtles. I heard that this location is only accessible through Captain Bruce's tours, so I believe Captain Bruce's tour is the best option. There were also Japanese-speaking staff, which was helpful for understanding.

シュノーケリングでみた海中が感激でした。フリータイムにサップをしたりして楽しめました。寒かった時も暖かい飲み物や軽食があり良かったです。ウミガメもみられました。キャプテンブルースじゃなければこのロケーションは出来ないそうなのでやはりキャプテンブルースのツアーが一番いいと思います。日本語のスタッフの方もいて理解に助かりました。

We participated in our honeymoon trip!

We were the only Japanese people, but there was a Japanese staff member who guided us entirely in Japanese.

It was my husband's first time snorkeling, and he enjoyed it thanks to the thorough explanations provided.

On the boat, everyone was free to relax, and we could drink soft drinks freely. The lunch was also very delicious!

We got to see dolphins and turtles, making it a very satisfying tour! We definitely want to participate again!

新婚旅行で参加しました！

日本人は私たちだけでしたが、日本人のスタッフの方がおり全て日本語で案内して頂きました

旦那がシュノーケリング初めてでしたが、丁寧に説明していただき、楽しんでいました♪

船の上ではみんな自由に過ごしていて、ソフトドリンクも自由に飲め、お昼ご飯もとてもおいしかったです！

イルカと亀にも会えて大満足のツアーでした！
またぜひ参加したいと思います♪

I participated in mid-May. The weather was nice, and I checked the low tide in advance, which was great. I'm not good at swimming and initially thought about skipping snorkeling, but the staff swam with me, allowing me to join in. I was happy to see the honu underwater. There were also inflatable toys available for rent, and even though it was just half a day, I had plenty of fun! Thank you! ♪

5月中旬に参加しました。
天気も良く、干潮を予め調べて参加したので良かったです。
泳ぐのが苦手でシュノーケリングも初めはやめようと思っていたのですが、スタッフさんが一緒に泳いでくださり参加することができました。
ホヌも水中で見ることが出来たので、嬉しかったです。
浮輪などの遊具も貸出しがあり、半日でしたが十分楽しめました！
ありがとうございました♪

I reserved tickets for the show on June 4th (Sunday) the night before using my smartphone and attended. The luau dance was overwhelming. In particular, the fire dance was powerful and breathtaking. There was also hula dancing, and we enjoyed a packed show. The leader's talk was witty and engaging, and he was great at keeping everyone entertained for a long time.

Both my wife and I were very satisfied with the show itself, but we hope for some improvements in the dinner. However, I also think that unless it's a hotel luau dinner show on Oahu, one shouldn't expect much from the food. The dishes listed on the menu were indeed available, but they were served in the typical Hawaiian white plastic containers where everyone serves themselves (similar to the buffet style at Japanese hotel breakfast venues where you line up and walk while picking up food). The quality and taste of the food are best not to be expected too highly. Please consider the show as the main attraction and the dinner as just an addition.

6/4（日）のショーを前日の夜、スマートフォンで予約して参加しました。
ルアウの踊りは圧倒的でした。特に、火の舞は、迫力があり、息をのむほど。
フラダンスもありで、盛沢山のショーを楽しみました。リーダーのトークも軽妙洒脱で、皆を乗せるのがうまく、長い時間を飽きさせない人でした。
妻も私もショー自体にはとても満足しましたが、夕ご飯はもう少し改善してほしいところです。ただ、オアフ島では、ホテルのフラダンス・ディナーショーでもなければ、食べ物に期待してはいけないのだろうとも思います。メニューに書いてあった料理が確かにありましたが、ハワイ特有の白いプラケースに各自が取るスタイルで（日本のホテルのバイキング／ブッフェスタイルの朝食会場で列を作って歩きながら料理をとるパターン）、料理の品質・味は、期待しない方が良いです。あくまでも、ショーがメインで、夕ご飯は付け足し程度に考えてください。

Great! Great! Great! Great! Great! Great! Great! Great! Great!

The staff were kind and entertaining. I had a great time until the end. The weather was nice, and when the staff said "look ahead" during snorkeling, I saw a big honu right in front of me. I would like to participate again.

スタッフさんは親切でエンターテイナーですね。
最後まで楽しく過ごせました。
お天気も良く、シュノーケルの時スタッフさんが"前見て"と言うので見たら目の前に大きなホヌが、、
また参加したいと思います。

This excursion was excellent! The crew was phenomenal, the stops made were so much fun and the lunch was great. A fun time was had by all! I would highly recommend!

I had an amazing time the Pearl Harbor Arizona Memorial & Honolulu city Tour was more than informative. Our tour guide was awesome and she just knew what she was doing and talking about. I would do it again with her as the tour guide. LEI Thank you for being soooooooooo informative.
