The timing is very important as it greatly relates to the tides. I wanted to walk on a sandbar like in the photo, but when I went, the shallowest part was only about ankle-deep.

When I went snorkeling, a turtle suddenly appeared right at our feet, and my excitement shot up!

After snorkeling, the boat took us around to where the turtles were. I was really happy when I saw multiple turtle heads popping up from the waves. While we were doing that, the sun came out, and we enjoyed a very pleasant cruise.

I would like to participate again at the right time.

潮の満ち引きが大いに関係するので、タイミングがとっても重要です。写真のようなサンドバーを歩いてみたかったけど、私がいったときは一番浅いところでくるぶしくらいの深さでした。

シュノ-ケリングをしたとき、いつの間にかカメが私たちの足元にいるという感じで出現。テンションが一気に上がりました！

シュノ-ケリングのあと船でカメがいるところを回ってくれました。カメの頭が波間から複数みえたときはとてもうれしかったです。そうこうしているうちに、晴れ間がでてきてとても気持ちの良いクルーズを楽しめました。　

また時期を見計らって参加したいです。

It is often featured in guidebooks, and I had always wanted to visit it when I went to Hawaii. There were some waves, but I was able to see the clear ocean. There were also several sea turtles popping their heads out of the water, which was adorable. Walking in the ocean felt really nice. There was nothing but the sea around, and the scenery was wonderful. The food was delicious, and I felt safe snorkeling for the first time with the guides watching over us. I'm really glad I participated. It was so much fun!

ガイドブックによく掲載されていて、ハワイに行ったら絶対行きたいと思っていました。
少し波がありましたが、透き通った海を見ることができました。ウミガメも何匹も海から顔を出していたのでかわいかったです。
海の中を歩く感じですごく気持ちよかったです。周りには海しかなく、景色もすばらしかったです☆
料理もおいしかったし、初めてのシュノーケリングはガイドさんたちにしっかり見守られながらだったので安心してできました。
参加して本当によかったです。すごく楽しかったです♪

Initially, I was scheduled to board on the second day of my stay, but unfortunately, the second and third days were booked for a private group, so I boarded two days before my return. I had checked the weather forecast for the latter half of my stay and found that the weather was not looking good, so it wasn't a cloudless sunset as predicted, but with some clouds, I was able to enjoy the changing colors of the clouds.

Most of the passengers were foreigners (I was also a foreigner in Hawaii!), primarily Americans, with only one other Japanese couple on board. Although Japanese was not spoken, I didn't feel inconvenienced during the approximately one-and-a-half-hour cruise while listening to Hawaiian music.

Since it was a catamaran, I expected less rocking, but unfortunately, the wind was strong and the waves were high, so it rocked quite a bit. My wife is not fond of boats, but she took motion sickness medication, so she was fine. The kids were thrilled.

I have also been on the Hilton's submarine, so there wasn't anything new for me to see from the boat looking at Waikiki, but those who are boarding for the first time will likely enjoy it.

Two drink tickets were distributed for alcohol, allowing for beer or champagne. Junk food and teriyaki chicken were served, but since this is a cocktail cruise, don't expect much in terms of food. If you get a good sunset, it will be fantastic!

当初は、滞在2日目に乗船予定でしたが、あいにく団体貸切に2日目、3日目がとられてしまい帰国2日前に乗船しました。天気予報で滞在後半、天気が芳しくないことを調べていたので、予報通り雲の無いサンセットではありませんでしたが、そこそこ雲があると雲の色の変化も楽しめます。
ほとんどが外人（私もHAWAIIでは外人！！）アメリカ人で日本人はもう1カップルのみでした。
日本語は通じませんが、Hawaiiannを聞きながら約1時間半のクルーズには不便を感じませんでした。
双胴船なので揺れが少ないはずでしたが、あいにく風が強く波も高かったので、結構揺れました。妻は船が苦手でしたが酔い止めb薬を飲んでいたので大丈夫でした。
子供は大喜びでした。
小生は、ヒルトンのサブマリンも乗船しているので、船から見るWAIKIKIに目新しさはありませんでしたが、初めて乗られる方はには喜ばれるでしょう。
アルコールは２杯までただのチケットが配られ、ビールやシャンパンが飲めます。ジャンクフードとチキンの照り焼き風が出ましたが、カクテルクルーズなので料理は期待しないでください。
良いサンセットにあたるとサイコーでしょう！！

My husband, 7 month old son, and I had a great experience with this activity during snorkeling and snuba. We got lucky, and one of the guest/crew members watched our son (who mostly slept) so we had the opportunity to both go together for the snorkeling and snuba. The catamaran we took was a great ship. The crew was very accommodating, nice, funny, and took care of everyone, including a woman who lost her camera in the water, and when my hubby got a little overwhelmed in the beginning during snuba. The food was okay, but definitely helped after a good amount of time time in the water. I would defintely do it again. The great crew actually made a huge difference too!

Thank you for allowing me to participate in the tour. I was satisfied to meet the dolphins and also saw sea turtles. It wasn't as cold as I thought it would be, and it became a great memory. Thank you!

この度はツアーに参加させていただきありがとうございました。イルカにも会えて満足です。ウミガメにも会えました。思ったよりも寒くなかったですし良い思い出になりました。ありがとうございました！

I think it's great that you can visit the west coast of Hawaii, which you wouldn't go to otherwise, on this tour. The staff is full of energy and keeps you entertained. You can eat malasadas, swim with dolphins, see sea turtles, enjoy a simple cheeseburger, go paddle boarding, and even dance a little hula—it's a packed tour.

Swimming while snorkeling and having wild dolphins swim right in front of you is moving and very healing, but it was unfortunate that when I participated, the wind was strong and the sea was a bit murky, and it took time to find the dolphins, so I couldn't go paddle boarding. It's a busy tour because of all the activities, but I recommend it for those who want a fulfilling experience.

このツアーでなかったら行かないハワイの西海岸にいけるのが良いと思います。スタッフも元気いっぱいでたのしませてくれるし、マラサダを食べて、イルカと泳いで、ウミガメも見られて、シンプルですがチーズバーガーも食べられてパドルボートもできてフラダンスもちょっとだけ踊れる盛りだくさんのツアーです。
シュノーケルで泳いでいると野生のイルカが目の前を通り過ぎて行くのは感動でとても癒されますが、参加した時は風が強くて海が少し濁っていたのが残念だったのと、いるかを見つけるのに時間がかかったので、パドルボートが出来なかったのが残念でした。盛りだくさんな分忙しめのツアーですが充実したい方にはオススメです。

At knee-deep water level, even children could walk easily. However, I thought the beach was a continuous stretch of pure white sand, so I walked barefoot, but there were rocks and stones in some places, making it painful and difficult to walk. Most participants walked barefoot, but I think it's better to wear marine shoes or something similar.

It got cold, and my daughter started to fuss. When we took photos one group at a time, it was tough because she would fuss if we didn't take the picture. But it was beautiful and wonderful.

Sea turtles were swimming gracefully as well. I definitely want to go again!

膝下の海面水位で、子供も難なく歩けました。ただ、真っ白な砂浜が続いていると思い、裸足で歩きましたが、所々に岩や石氏があるので、痛くて歩くのが大変なところもありました。
参加者のほとんどが裸足で歩いていましたが、マリンシューズなど履いたほうが良いと思います。
寒いと途中から、娘が愚図り始め、１組づつ写真を撮った際、撮らないと愚図って大変でした。でも、綺麗で素でした。
海亀さんも優雅に泳いでいました。また、ぜひ行きたいです！

If I had to express a complaint, it would be that several people mentioned the rental goggles did not fit well and water was getting in.

Also, please check for wear and tear over time.

Additionally, we couldn't get as close to the dolphins as I expected.

不満をいえば、レンタルのゴーグルのフィット性が悪く、水が入ってくるって言っている方が数人いたようでした。

経年劣化もあるので、チェックおねがいします。

あと、思ったよりもイルカの近くには寄れません。

First, we went to eat a treat called malasada. It was freshly fried and very delicious. On the bus, they passionately talked about snorkeling precautions and Hawaii in Japanese.

Once we boarded the boat, the lively crew welcomed us, and we had a great time. We were particularly fine with seasickness, but some people felt unwell, so those who are worried might want to bring motion sickness medication. Also, they will take photos for you, but since you'll have to buy them later, if you want to avoid spending money, it might be better to take your own pictures.

When we got out to sea, the weather was fantastic, and we were able to see over 100 dolphins, which was truly moving. It was a wonderful experience to see dolphins right in front of us. We only saw one turtle, but I think it offers a different kind of excitement compared to seeing turtles in an aquarium. I highly recommend this tour.

最初に、マラサダというお菓子を食べに行きました。揚げたてでとてもおいしかったです。バス内では日本語でシュノーケリングの注意事項やハワイについて熱く語ってくれます。
船に乗ると、ノリのいいクルーたちが出迎えてくれてとても楽しく過ごすことができました。私たちはとくに船酔いは大丈夫でしたが、何人かの方が気分が悪くなっていたので心配な方は乗り物酔いの薬を持って行った方がよいかも。また、写真を撮ってくれますが、後で買うことになるのでお金をかけたくない方は、無理してでも自ら写真を撮った方がいいかも。
私たちが海に出た時はとても天気がよくイルカたちにも100頭以上あうことができ感動しました。目の前でイルカを見れるのでとてもいい経験をすることができました。カメは一頭しかみれませんでしたが、水族館で見るカメとは違う感動を味わうことができると思います。お勧めのツアーです。

I had such a great time last time that I brought my in-laws along this time. The boat staff were friendly and entertaining, the BBQ was delicious, and of course, we enjoyed the best views. It's a tour I would love to do again if the opportunity arises.

前回がとても楽しかったので、義両親を連れても参加をしました。
船のスタッフは親切で面白く、BBQも美味しく、もちろん最高の景色が見れました。また機会があれば行きたいと思うツアーです。

I wanted to visit the heavenly sea since it was mentioned in the guidebook, so I participated. We were a senior group, but everyone around us was young. I felt a bit out of place, but the staff members spoke to us, which made me feel more at ease. My brother-in-law and sister-in-law participated in scuba diving. The staff mentioned that there have been a lot of accidents recently, so since I can't move forward while floating, I refrained and played around the boat. After receiving an explanation, the participants were led by the staff in a line towards the coral reef. Although the sandbar didn't appear, it felt nice to float on the borrowed floatation device in the shallow water. A friendly sea turtle even swam by gently. It's a joy that you can't experience on the sandy beach.

天国の海はガイドブックにも載っていたので一度行ってみたいと参加。私たちはシニアグループでしたが、回りは若い方ばかり。ちょっと気おくれしましたが、スタッフの方が声をかけてくれたので気が楽になりました。スキューバは義兄と義姉が参加。最近一番事故が多いとスタッフさんに言われたので、浮いても前に進めない私は遠慮して船の周りで遊んでました。参加者は説明を受けたあと、スタッフさんに先導されて１列にサンゴ礁の方に進んで行ってました。サンドバーは現れませんでしたが、足がつくところで貸してくださった浮ボートでふわふわと浮いていると気持ちがいいです。近くによくなついたウメがめもふんわり通ってくれたりして。砂浜では味わえない楽しさですね。

Food was very good. Took the cruise on Friday and saw fireworks from the Hilton Hawaiian Village which were spectacular. Also, took the city lights tour which was spectacular as well.

This is my third time participating.

I was able to see a pod of bottlenose dolphins, which is said to be very rare♪

It seems they are a different species than the ones usually seen.

I swam with them, and a turtle was also swimming nearby.

Then, right in front of me, it popped its head up from the water and showed me its cute face, which was so exciting.

It's something you can't easily do in Japan, so I highly recommend it!

こちらは３度目の参加です。

バンドウイルカの群れが見ることができ、それはとてもとても貴重だとのこと♪

ふだんよく見られるのとは違う種類だそうです。

一緒に泳ぎ、また、亀さんも近くでおよいでました。

すると目の前で水中からポコッと顔をだしてくれかわいい顔をみせてくれたので興奮しました。


日本では、なかなかできないことなのでおすすめです！

The trip to Hawaii was the best!
This course is truly fulfilling!
In the morning, you can enjoy the famous malasadas,
and since there are both Japanese staff and locals,
I really felt the experience of being abroad!
Even as a first-timer, they taught me patiently,
and when I was feeling anxious, they swam with me, which made it really easy.
I definitely want to participate again when I go to Hawaii!

ハワイの旅行で一番よかったです。
このコースはほんとに充実してます！
朝は名物のマラサダが食べれるし、
日本人スタッフと現地の方両方いるので
海外にきた感と味わえました！
初めての私でも丁寧に教えてくれるし、
不安にしていると一緒に泳いでくれたのでほんとに
やりやすかったです。
またハワイに行ったら必ず参加したいと思います。

I checked the low tide times in advance and went there. As expected, the scenery was absolutely wonderful. The first spot I stepped into had water up to my knees, but the shallowest area was only about ankle-deep. At first, we took our time walking and took group photos. After that, only those who wanted to went snorkeling. It was my first time snorkeling, but it was easy to do. I think anyone who can swim will be fine. I was truly amazed to encounter beautiful fish and even sea turtles. We also enjoyed some light snacks at the end, making it a very satisfying tour. If you're going to Hawaii, this is definitely a place you should visit at least once!

事前に干潮時間を調べて行きました。期待通り、とても素晴らしい景色で、最初足を着けたところは膝ぐらい水位があったものの、一番浅いところは足首くらいの水位でした。最初は、ゆっくり歩きながら皆で記念撮影。その後は希望者だけで、シュノーケリング。初めてのシュノーケルでしたが、簡単に出来ました。泳げる方なら大丈夫だと思います。綺麗なお魚と海亀にまで遭遇できて本当に神秘的でした。最後に軽食もいただけて、大満足のツアーでした。ハワイに行くなら一度は是非訪れてもらいたい場所です！

"I want to swim with wild dolphins!"
"I want to see sea turtles!!"
"I want to eat malasadas!!!"
They covered all my selfish wishes.

On the day of the tour, the staff called my hotel room before the meeting time to confirm, which was very considerate. Thanks to that, I was saved from almost oversleeping.

When I actually saw the wild dolphins, I was surprised at how close they were! I might have been lucky, but I was able to see a pod of dolphins up close, and I was very satisfied.

I definitely want to join again the next time I go to Hawaii!!

「野生イルカと泳ぎたい！」
「ウミガメ観たい！！」
「マラサダ食べたい！！！」
って言う、ワガママな私の願いを全部網羅してくれました。

当日は集合時間前に担当のスタッフさんがホテルの部屋まで
確認の電話をしてくれる丁寧さ。
お陰で危うく寝過ごしそうになるのを救われました。

で、実際の野生イルカも想像以上にの近さにビックリ☆
運が良かったのかもしれないけど、
何頭ものイルカの群れを間近でみることができ、
大満足でした。

次にハワイ行ったときも、ぜひ参加したいです！！

On the day, I only encountered three dolphins and couldn't swim with them, which was a bit disappointing. However, I was satisfied because I got to swim with turtles up close instead. The staff was amazing and really made it fun!!

当日はイルカ3頭としか遭遇せず、一緒に泳げなかったことは少し残念だったが、その代わりにカメとは至近距離で一緒に泳げたので満足しています。
スタッフは最高に盛り上げてくれたのでとても楽しかった！！

The timing was unfortunate, and it was very cold...
The water level was quite high, and there was no sandbar at all.
I thought that if the weather had been nice, we could have enjoyed a really beautiful sea.
The sea turtle looked small, but I had a great time.

The staff's consideration was wonderful.
Thank you very much.

時期が悪く、とても寒い思いをしました・・・
水位も結構あり、サンドバーはまったくです。
天気が良ければとてもキレイな海が楽しめただろうなぁと思いました~。
海がめさん、小さく見えるだけでしたが、楽しめました。

スタッフの方のお気遣い、すばらしかったです。
ありがとうございました。

I went on a sandbar tour. This tour was filled with Japanese people. There were about 30 participants on the day I joined. The staff seemed quite experienced.

I heard that it’s also used for gravure photo shoots, and the color of the sea is beautiful, an emerald hue. However, since we all walked together on the sandbar, it felt like there wasn’t much of a private atmosphere. That was a bit disappointing.

Overall, the sea is very beautiful, so it's nice, but I think it may not be suitable for those who want a sense of privacy. (For reference)

サンドバーツアーに行ってきました。
このツアー、とにかく日本人だらけでした。参加した日は３０人ぐらいいたかな。スタッフの人も、手慣れてる感じでした。
グラビア撮影でも使われているとのことで、海の色もエメラルド色できれいです。ただ、サンドバーを歩くのですが、皆でぞろぞろ歩いていくのでプライベート感はあまりないような気がしました。それが、少し残念。

総合的には、海もとても綺麗なのでいいですがプライベート感が欲しい方にはあまり向いていないかなと思いました。（参考までに）

The sea was really beautiful, but the snorkeling was a bit lacking... I wish I could have seen some prettier tropical fish. I was a little disappointed given my expectations, but I was excited to see a sea turtle. The light snacks were quite delicious and filling. I think the staff was the most accommodating. In particular, Ryo, who is Japanese, was very kind and great. I would like to participate again.

海はすごくきれいでしたがシュノーケリングはいまいちかな・・・もう少しきれいな熱帯魚とかみれたら良かったかな・・・。期待してた分少しがっかりでしたがウミガメが見れてテンションあがりました。
軽食はかなりおいしくて食べごたえのあるものでした。
スタッフは一番対応が良かったように思います。
とくに日本人のりょうさんはすごく優しくて良かったです。
また参加したいです。

I was really looking forward to Heaven's Sea.

Perhaps because there were so many participants, we were divided into several groups on boats to get to Heaven's Sea, but for some reason, we had to wait a really long time. It seemed like there were too few boats available, and the wait to get on a returning boat was just too long, which took away the excitement.

Moreover, the wind was really strong, and since we had to stand the whole time, it was cold.

As for Heaven's Sea itself, it was fairly beautiful, but I didn't feel that much excitement about it. The water wasn't particularly clear, and there weren't a lot of fish.

The only good thing was that there were sea turtles near the pier, and we got to see them up close!

I think it would be better to check the tide schedule before participating.

すごく楽しみにしてた天国の海。
参加人数が多かったのか、ボートで何組にか分かれて、天国の海まで行くのですが、なぜだかとーっても待たされた。
確保してるボートが少ないのか、岸に帰ってくるボートに乗れるまでの時間が長すぎて、わくわく度がなくなってしまった。

しかも風がすごく吹いていて立ちっぱなしだから、寒いし。

肝心の天国の海は、まあまあ綺麗でした。そこまでの感動はなかったなあ。
海が澄んでいるわけでもないし、お魚がいっぱいいるわけでもないし。

唯一良かったのは、桟橋の付近にウミガメが棲みついていて、間近で見れたこと！

潮の満ち引きをチェックして参加するのが、良いと思われます。

Our group really enjoyed the cruise. We paid extra for window seating and it was worth it. Otherwise you end up in the middle of the room in the traffic pattern for the buffet. Not alot of variety was offered at the buffet. Limited vegetable and salad options. Dessert Buffet food was also limited. If possible take the Friday night cruise so you can see the fireworks near the Grand Waikikian lagoon. We stayed at the Grand Waikikian so were the second group picked up which meant we were on board the bus for several pick ups. Good thing was being the 2nd stop at the end of the night.

The sandbar is affected by the tides, so when I actually went there, the water reached up to my thighs, and I couldn't enjoy the beautiful sandy beach like in the photos. However, looking around, I could see the distant Kualoa Ranch and the endless blue ocean. It felt nice to be surrounded by nature, which was a refreshing change from the hustle and bustle of Waikiki. The malasada and the lunch I had on the boat were also delicious.

ｻﾝﾄﾞﾊﾞｰは潮の満ち引きの関係があるので実際に行った時は
太ももまで海につかる感じだったので写真のようなきれいな
砂浜にはあえませんでしたが、周りを見渡すと遠くにはクアロア牧場、見渡す限り一面ﾌﾞﾙｰの海。自然に囲まれているなぁ。とﾜｲｷｷの賑やかさとは一味違い良かったです。ﾏﾗｻﾀﾞも
船で食べたﾗﾝﾁも美味しかったです。

I participated with my 6th-grade daughter. As mentioned in other reviews, we felt quite chilly at times, so I think a jacket is essential. The staff were all cheerful and kind, and we were able to see dolphins, making it a very satisfying day.

小学６年生の娘と参加しました。
他の方の口コミにもありましたが、途中でかなり肌寒さを感じたので上着は必需品だと思います。
スタッフも陽気で親切な方ばかり、イルカも見ることができて大満足な一日になりました。

The staff worked hard to find dolphins for us, and we were able to see them three times during our three attempts. At this time of year, we encountered baby dolphins. Additionally, we were able to swim alongside sea turtles up close. Unfortunately, the wind and current were a bit strong, so we couldn't participate in some activities, but the staff were very cheerful and kind. We had a memorable day. Thank you very much.

スタッフの方が一生懸命イルカを探してくれて３回トライして３回も見ることができました。この時期は、赤ちゃんイルカに出会えました。また、ウミガメを間近に見ながら並んで泳ぐことができました。残念なのは、少し風と潮の流れが速くてアクティビティができなかったのが残念でしたがスタッフのみなさんがとても明るくて親切でした。思い出に残る一日を過ごすことができました。ありがとうございました。

I participated in the afternoon on the day of arrival on a JAL flight that landed in the morning. We went from in front of the Hilton Hotel to near Diamond Head and came back, enjoying the view of the ocean and the pleasant sea breeze, which made me really feel like I was in Hawaii. My excitement was high from the very first day.

I've heard that surprisingly many people come to Hawaii and don't even touch the ocean because they're busy shopping. That's why I recommend experiencing it during your free time on the first day.

JAL便　午前着便で到着日の　午後に参加しました　
ヒルトンホテル前から　ダイヤモンドヘッド近くまで行き
戻ってきましたが　海からの眺めと　気持ち良い
海風で　ハワイに来た実感が　湧き出てきて
初日から　テンション高くなります　

案外　ハワイに来ても　海に触れない人は　多いと聞きますショッピングに　忙しいのだそうです　
だから　初日の　空いた時間に　体験するのがおすすめです

It has already been a year, but when we went, the water depth was up to our knees even in the shallow areas. Still, I was very impressed by the beauty of the sea. We were also able to see many sea turtles, and while snorkeling, a sea turtle bumped into me! It was a friendly sea turtle, and it was such a precious experience.

もう1年も前になりますが・・・
私たちが行ったときは浅いところでも膝くらいまでの水深でした。それでも、海のきれいさにはとても感動しました。
また、ウミガメもたくさん見ることができて、しかもシュノーケリングしている最中に、ウミガメの手（足？）がぶつかってきました！人懐っこいウミガメで何とも貴重な体験ができました。

If you're going to Hawaii, you absolutely have to go to the ocean! I decided that and signed up here after checking the reviews. The staff were very friendly, and I got to see beautiful scenery, dolphins up close, and even meet sea turtles. I was able to feed colorful fish from my hand, which made for truly wonderful memories! I would love to participate again if I have the chance!

ハワイにいくなら絶対海！と決めていたので、口コミをみてこちらに申し込みました。
スタッフの対応はとてもよく、きれいな景色がみれたり、間近でイルカの群れをみれたり、海がめにもあえ、色とりどりの魚に手からエサを与えたりでき本当にいい思い出になりました！
また機械があれば参加したいです！！

There was only one turtle, but a friendly turtle that lives there came close to me. I was surprised to learn that touching it incurs a fine of over $2,500! It was moving to see a sea turtle up close like this! It was large and majestic, matching the beautiful scenery perfectly. The kids were also thrilled! The lunch portion was decent, and I was satisfied. Above all, the sea was beautiful!

１頭だけだったのですが、住みついている人懐こいカメが寄ってきます。触ると2500ドル以上の罰金というので、びっくり！こんなに近くでウミガメを見れたのは感動！大きくて雄大で、きれいな景色にマッチしていました。子供も感激！ランチもそれなりに量もあり、満足でした。何と言っても海がきれい！

Wife and I took the dinner cruise for our 25th anniversary. We had a great time. The dinner was excellent, the service was not bad. You have to remember everybody came on at the same time, so everybody wants something right away. The setting was amazing, nice boat, weather was awesome, and the scenery and sunset so beautiful. We would definately recommend this excursion.
