The shuttle from the hotel was lively and filled with fun conversations, and we arrived at the port in no time! The weather was great, and the ocean was beautiful! We participated in snorkeling and stand-up paddleboarding. During snorkeling, they taught us how to swim, and we were able to see many fish and sea turtles. The staff were very friendly, and it was a lot of fun! I will definitely join again when I come to Hawaii!

ホテルからの送迎もわきあいあい面白トーク炸裂であっという間に港に到着！天気も良く、海がとても綺麗！！私たちはシュノーケルとサップに参加しました。シュノーケルでは泳ぎ方から教えてくれ、たくさんの魚と海亀も見ることができました。スタッフの方がとても気さくでとても楽しかったです！またハワイに来た際は参加します！

Lots to do but equipment has seen better days. Bathrooms were portable

During the cruise, I encountered a pod of dolphins!! They were jumping around just like you would see in an aquarium, and it was amazing! Also, there were plenty of sea turtles swimming around, which was great!!

I was expecting to see tropical fish like Nemo since it was a glass-bottom boat, but I only saw some dark, plain fish, which was a bit disappointing. However, I'm glad I participated!

クルーズ途中、イルカの群れに出会えました！！
まるで水族館で見るようにイルカ達が飛び跳ねていてすごかったです！
また、当たり前にウミガメもたくさん泳いでいました！！

グラスボートということでニモをはじめとした熱帯魚が見れると期待していましたが、黒っぽい地味な魚がみられるだけでそこはちょっと残念でした。
でも参加してよかったです！

There are Japanese staff members who are fluent in Japanese, so you can participate with peace of mind. In addition to swimming with dolphins, snorkeling in the coral reef was relaxing with many turtles and tropical fish.

日本語が堪能な日本人スタッフさんが　いらっしゃいますので　安心して参加出来ます。
イルカと泳ぐ他にも　珊瑚礁でのシュノーケリングは
亀　熱帯魚が沢山いて癒されました。

I participated in a tour at the end of August. We gathered at a hotel in Waikiki around 9 AM and moved by bus. From 11 AM to 1 PM, we enjoyed activities in the ocean. We arrived back at the hotel at 2 PM.

On the boat heading out to sea, we were provided with water and juice. There were also snacks and Spam rice balls, all for free. We went snorkeling and observed the fish in the ocean. The guide pointed out the locations of the fish and coral, and we were able to see beautiful fish. It felt like being in Nemo's world.

Although it was in the morning, the weather was nice, and we were able to stand on the sandbar. I was with my 10-year-old and 6-year-old children, and they were able to stand as well. There were no waves.

You can borrow floaties and stand-up paddleboarding equipment for free. There are also floaties available for children. While we were playing, a sea turtle swam by, and we were able to see it up close.

On the return boat ride, we could enjoy warm coffee, tea, and cocoa for free. There were also crew members who spoke Japanese, which was reassuring. There is a restroom on the boat as well.

My children were very satisfied.

Although the price seemed high, considering the high cost of living in Hawaii, I think the cost performance is good for participating in this tour at this price.

値段が高いように見えましたが、物価が高いハワイで、この値段でツアー参加でき、コストパフォーマンスは良いと思います。

I previously participated and was very moved, so I wanted to show it to my husband and joined again. This time, I could hear the sounds of dolphins communicating, and I was reminded of how amazing nature is. My husband also seemed to have a great time and said it was the best part of our trip to Hawaii. Next, I plan to enroll in Manta University on the Big Island. I'm looking forward to seeing you again.

私は以前参加させていただき、とても感動したので夫にも見せてあげたいと思い、再度参加しました。
今回はイルカがコミュニケーションをとっている声も聞こえて、自然てすごいな、と改めて思いました。
夫も、とても楽しかったようで、ハワイ旅行で一番良かったこと、と申しております。
次はハワイ島でマンタ大学に入学しようと思っています。
また、お会いできるのが楽しみです。

I participated in a snow boat tour due to the children's wish to swim in the beautiful sea. Although I wasn't very enthusiastic since I'm not good at swimming, I was thrilled to be able to swim with sea turtles while snorkeling. The children, who have strong core and leg muscles, were able to stand up on the SUP right away, but I, having passed my sixtieth birthday and with weakened legs, couldn't stand until the end, which was quite frustrating. However, before I knew it, I was completely absorbed in playing until the very last moment. The spam sushi made by the staff was delicious when I got a little hungry.

きれいな海で泳ぎたいという子どもたちの希望でスノーバーツアーに参加しました。泳ぎの得意でない私は乗り気ではありませんでしたが、行ってみるとシュノーケリングではウミガメと泳ぐことができて大興奮。SUPは体幹があって足腰がしっかりしている子どもたちはすぐに立つことができたのに還暦を過ぎて足腰が弱った私は最後まで立つことができず、大変悔しい思いをしましたが、気がつけば時間ギリギリまで夢中で遊んでしまいました。小腹が減った時に食べたスタッフさんお手製のスパム握りがおいしかったです。

Excellent evening and event

Food was great, entertainment was excellent and the entire night felt authentic and not just an overpriced tourist trap

Highly recommended

I experienced two types of snorkeling tours with my wife, one at Hanauma Bay and the other at Sandbar, but the Sandbar tour was somewhat disappointing. The reason is that the water clarity is inferior compared to Hanauma Bay, and there were hardly any fish, which was unfortunate. Additionally, unlike the guide at Hanauma Bay, you have to take your own photos and videos, which brings the risk of losing or damaging your smartphone and adds extra hassle. On the positive side, it is easy to encounter sea turtles, and there are activities other than snorkeling, which was a nice aspect.

私は妻とシュノーケリングツアーを2種類それぞれハナウマ湾とサンドバーを体験させていただきましたがこちらのサンドバーツアーはいまいちでした。
理由としては海の透明感がハナウマ湾に比べ劣っている事や魚が全然居ないので残念です。
また、ハナウマ湾のガイドと違い写真や動画はご自身で撮らないといけないのでスマホの紛失や故障のリスクもつきまとったり手間がかかる点も残念ポイントです。
良い点としては海亀に会いやすい事やシュノーケリング以外の遊びがあるのでそれは良いポイントでした。

Thank you for a truly wonderful time! The driver's explanations during the trip were clear in Japanese, and the vehicle was cool and comfortable. Once we arrived, I just took care of the restroom (they even pointed out the cleaner one) and off we went!

On the way to the points in a larger boat, we saw turtles and were shown a spot where the sea looks heart-shaped! The water's clarity was amazing, and the staff's teamwork in providing explanations in both English and Japanese, sticking to the schedule, and their overall hospitality was outstanding. The snorkeling was taught kindly to me, who struggles with swimming, and I was able to participate successfully, and guess what! I even got to swim with turtles! Thank you so much.

At one point, someone dropped their GoPro, and the staff worked hard to dive and search for it (which they later found), and they took photos for us on the boat. Everything was just perfect. If I were richer, I would have loved to give even more tips!!! I look forward to doing this again.

本当に素敵な時間をありがとうございました！行き帰りの運転手さんの説明も途中日本語で分かりやすく、移動車の中も涼しくて快適。着いたらおトイレだけ済ませて(これも綺麗な方のトイレを教えていただいた)レッツゴー！
大きめのボートでポイントに行く途中、亀が見れて、ハート形に海の中が見えるスポットも教えてもらいました！
水の透明度は素晴らしく、またスタッフの方々の連携プレーで英語、日本語での説明、スケジュール通りの進行、ホスピタリティ全てが素晴らしかったです。シュノーケリングは泳ぎの苦手な私に優しく教えてくださり、無事参加することができ、なんと！亀と泳ぐことも出来ました！本当にありがとうございました。
途中goproを落とした方がいて、その方のために一生懸命スタッフの方が潜って探されていたり(のちに見つかった)、ボート上で写真を撮ってくれたりなど、本当にどれをとっても最高でした。私がもっとリッチならもっともっとチップを渡したかったです！！！またよろしくお願いします。

We arrived at the sandbar in about 15 minutes by boat. The seawater is a bit cold. While enjoying the transparent sea, we leisurely played for about 45 minutes with SUP (one per group), snorkeling, and floaties. During that time, we had snacks like drinks, Spam rolls (one per person), and chips on the boat, and we were able to enjoy cola, which we hesitated to buy due to the weak yen.

They took us to the snorkeling point, where we could see plenty of fish up close. Unfortunately, we didn't see any turtles, but it was beautiful and fun. There was a woman who spoke Japanese, so we had no trouble communicating. We went in the afternoon, but we were able to return around 4 PM, which allows for some evening fun around Waikiki, making it worthwhile whether you go in the morning or afternoon.

船で15分ほどでサンドバーへ到着。
少し海水は冷たいです。
透き通る海に感動しながらSUP(1組にひとつ)シュノーケル、浮き輪などのんびり45分ほど遊びます。その間船ではドリンクやスパム巻き(1人ひとつ)ポテチ等のスナックが食べられ、円安で躊躇していたコーラなど堪能できました。
シュノーケルポイントまで連れて行ってくれ、手に触れるほどに魚がたくさん見れます。亀は残念ながら見れませんでしたが、綺麗で楽しいです。
日本語の話せる女性がおり、困ることはありません。午後の部で行きましたが4時ころには帰れるので夜もワイキキ周辺で遊べて時間的にも午前でも午後でも有意義で良いと思います。

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(*^^*)

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.

Exceeded our expectations! The tours and guides are excellent. Buffet lunch was good.

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

It was great that children as young as 2 years old could board. Our three generations, including a 5-year-old and a 7-year-old, had a wonderful time! When we were chasing dolphins, the 2-year-old stayed on the boat and was delighted to see the dolphins from the second floor, saying they were cute. The 5-year-old tried twice but ended up crying because the mask didn't fit. The 7-year-old was in great shape! They enjoyed the dolphins, sea turtles, and the slide more than any of the adults, diving in multiple times. Thank you to Maki and the other crew members for being so kind and attentive.

２歳から乗船可能性で助かりました。５歳、７歳の子どもも含め３世代で楽しむことができました！イルカを追う時は２歳の子は船で待機、２階からイルカの姿を見て可愛い♡と喜んでいました。５歳の子は２回挑戦しましたがマスクが合わず泣いてしまいました。７歳は絶好調！イルカも海亀もスライダーも、大人たちの誰よりも楽しんで何度もダイブしていました。まきさん始め他のクルーの方々も親切丁寧で、ありがとうございました。

The journey had a lot of ups and downs, and although the speed wasn't very fast, it was enjoyable. The tour guide's explanations were only in English, so it might be tough if you can't listen well. My spouse and I didn't understand anything at all, but we still had a great time. The scenic viewpoints along the way were amazing.

道中はアップダウンの激しい道で、スピードはそんなに速くないけど良かったです。ツアーガイドの解説は英語のみなので、リスニングが出来ないと苦しいかも。我々夫婦は全く分からなかったですけど楽しめました。途中の絶景ポイントが最高でした。

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。

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！

This was my first time participating. The ocean was, of course, wonderful, and even though it was an early morning tour, I was able to participate comfortably. Above all, the hospitality of the staff and their attention to safety were outstanding. I would like to participate again.

今回始めて参加しました。
海は当然素晴らしいし、早朝ツアーでしたが、快適に参加できました。何よりスタッフの皆さんのホスピタリティー、安全を配慮した対応が素晴らしかったです。また参加したいと思います。

The turtle was swimming. The shuttle driver was very friendly and nice. However, the water temperature was surprisingly low, and my wife and daughter seemed to be quite cold.

亀泳いでました。　送迎の運転手さんからしてフレンドリーで大変良いです　ただ以外と水温低くて　妻と娘はかなり寒かったようです

I made a reservation about three days before the experience. On the day of the event, I wondered why there were so few people, and it turned out that there was no beach visible at all. The water was cold, and after snorkeling, I quickly returned to the boat. The high encounter rate with sea turtles was fantastic.

体験日の3日前くらいに思いついて予約をしました。当日なぜこんなに人が少ないのかなと思っていたら何と全然砂浜は見れない日でした。水も冷たくシュノーケリングの後、すぐに船に戻ってしまいました。海亀の遭遇率が高いのは最高でした。

As we sailed, we suddenly came across a sandy shallow area offshore. SUP was fun there, but moving to a slightly deeper spot for snorkeling was the best! I was moved to see tropical fish and sea turtles swimming right next to me.

Actually, I had a bit of a trauma from almost drowning while snorkeling in the past, but the captain practiced with me by holding my hand beforehand, and the staff members watched over me closely, which made me feel safe while swimming.

They also provided warm drinks on the boat, which was very nice for my slightly chilled body.

船を走らせて行くと、沖の方に突如現れた砂浜の浅瀬。そこでのSUPも楽しかったですが、その後少し深いところに移動してのシュノーケリングが最高！自分のすぐ近くを熱帯魚やホヌが泳いでいく姿を見ることができて感動しました。
実は昔シュノーケリングで溺れかけたことがありちょっとトラウマがあったのですが、事前にキャプテンが手を持って練習してくれたこと、スタッフの方々がすぐそばで複数で見守ってくださったことで安心して泳げました。
船上の飲み物も温かいものを用意してくださり、少し冷えた身体にはとても嬉しかったです。

Fantastic show and we really enjoyed it even my kids. However pick up time should have been earlier as stated. Due to traffic we were just in time for the show and disappointed we couldn’t tried the activities provided. However it was a great experience and show. My kids enjoyed the show. Variety of foods from buffet was good however when you are the last table, whatever are left that’s it. Disappointed as the stir fry noodles was finished and when asked if there are more noodles, no answer was provided. Do hope next time you can cater for all the guest. Please advise all guest to put mosquito repellent as we were bitten by mosquitoes on our legs. Great and beautiful pictures taken by the staff and it’s digital, sent link to your phone and pictures can be downloaded for free. Thank you. Memories will treasure. Great performances and talented staff. Love the musics and dances. Highly recommended. Mahalo.

I was so moved when I saw dolphins on an online tour that I thought I definitely wanted to participate when I went to Hawaii!

In the morning, it was raining and the weather was gloomy, but as the sun rose, it cleared up, and when we arrived at the port, there was a rainbow! We boarded the boat and headed to where the dolphins were, but it seemed like a child sitting nearby got seasick. Since it was a small boat and it rocked quite a bit, I think it's better to take motion sickness medication beforehand.

The wetsuits were available for rent on the day, but according to the guide, "Your body temperature rises and you become more prone to seasickness." I think most people, including us, did not rent them.

Once the dolphins were spotted, it was a flurry of activity! We quickly went outside the boat and swam to where the dolphins were. I'm not a strong swimmer, so I was struggling to keep up (laughs). It felt more like watching the dolphins swim by from above rather than swimming with them.

After that, we encountered another pod of dolphins!

After the dolphin swim, we went snorkeling in a spot with lots of tropical fish. I couldn't see it, but my friend said they saw a manta ray! I find it hard to take nice underwater photos myself, but a professional photographer took beautiful pictures and videos, and I still look at them and remember the experience even after returning home. It's paid, but I think it's worth purchasing!

以前、オンラインツアーでイルカを見て感動したので、ハワイに行ったら絶対に参加したい！と思っていました。
朝は雨が降っていてどんよりした天気でしたが、日が昇るにつれ晴れてきて、港に着いたときには虹が！
船に乗ってイルカがいる地点まで向かいますが、近くの席のお子さんが船酔いをしてしまったようで…。小さな船で結構揺れるので、酔い止めは飲んでおいた方が良いと思います。
ウェットスーツは当日レンタルでしたが、ガイドさん曰く「体温が上がって酔いやすい」とのこと。私たち含め、大多数の方はレンタルしていなかったと思います。
イルカが見つかってからは大忙し！次々船の外に出て、イルカがいる場所まで泳ぎます。私は泳ぎが得意でないので、着いていくのに必死でした（笑）
イルカと一緒に泳ぐというよりは、イルカが通り過ぎるのを上から眺める感じかな。
その後もう一度イルカの群れに出会えました！

ドルフィンスイムの後は熱帯魚がたくさんいる場所でシュノーケリングをしました。
私は見れませんでしたが、友人はマンタを見れたそうです！
自分だとなかなか水中の写真は綺麗に撮れませんが、プロのカメラマンさんが綺麗な写真と動画を撮ってくださって、帰国しても眺めては思い出しています。有料ですが、購入して損はないと思います！

I am so grateful to our guide, Mr. M! My third-grade daughter was extremely scared when she first jumped in, and I almost gave up thinking snorkeling in deep water would be impossible for her. However, the guide encouraged her and skillfully guided her, and by the end, she was able to do it perfectly!

We couldn't catch up to the dolphins, so only Dad got to see them, but we were able to see three turtles, which was a long-awaited dream for this trip. My daughter was so excited!

By the way, the next day we moved to another hotel, and she was saying she wanted to go snorkeling there too and was really looking forward to it. As parents, we couldn't have assisted her first snorkeling experience without Mr. M's help. It became a wonderful memory! Thank you very much.

とにかくガイドのMさんに感謝です！
小3娘は最初飛び込んだ時、めちゃくちゃ怖がっていたので、やっぱり足の届かないところでのシュノーケリングは無理かなぁ、と諦めかけましたが、その後にガイドさんが声かけて上手に誘ってくれ、最後はバッチリできるようになりました！
イルカは追いつけなくてパパだけしか見られませんでしたが、今回の旅で念願だったタートルはバッチリと3匹も見られました。娘、大興奮でした！

ちなみに、翌日には移動して別のホテルに入ったのですが、そこでもシュノーケリングする！と言って楽しんでました。親だけではとても娘の初シュノーケリングをアシストできませんでしたが、Mさんのおかげで出来ました。いい思い出になりました！ありがとうございました。

What a blast, we got a bunch of cool knowledge on all different pieces that make kualoa ranch!!

We had a blast!! Easy book and we liked the longer tour through the farm!

You can experience something that you can only taste here! I participated alone, but since it was a group tour, I had a lot of fun blending in with the others. Every view was breathtaking, and I'm really glad I went!!! It seems there are also buggies and horseback riding, but even this bus was a really interesting and thrilling ride, so definitely give it a try!

絶対にここでしか味わえない体験ができます！
私ひとりで参加しましたが、グループツアーなので
周りの方に紛れてすごく楽しめました。
どこをどう切り取っても絶景ばかりで本当に
行って本当によかったです！！！
バギーや乗馬もあるみたいですが、このバスさえも
すごく面白く迫力のある乗り物だったので
ぜひとも、行ってみてください！

Thank you for allowing me to experience snorkeling despite my lack of confidence in swimming. I was moved by the sea turtles and various fish that I could see up close. Above all, I felt reassured to have staff who spoke Japanese. It's just a shame that the weather wasn't good.

泳ぎに自信がない私をシュノーケル体験させていただきありがとうございました。すぐそばで見れた海亀やさまざまな魚にも感動。何より日本語が話せるスタッフがおられ安心しました
ただお天気が良くなかったのが残念。
