It was a wonderful experience.
The beautiful sea and blue sky made for very fortunate weather.
Participating in the afternoon allowed for a relaxed schedule, making it a perfect plan for the day after arrival.
Although the water level was a bit high, so I couldn't experience the "white sandy beach floating off Kaneohe Bay," it was still worth it. This scenery was breathtaking.
I was also able to see sea turtles up close (two of them), which was very satisfying.
The staff were very entertaining, making it a fun tour.
Next time, I would like to join the morning plan.

とても素敵な経験でした。
綺麗な海に青い空、とても恵まれた天気だったと思います。
午後からの参加は時間的にも余裕があり、到着翌日にはちょうど良いプランでした。
ちょっと水位が高かったので「カネオヘ湾沖に浮かぶ白い砂浜」は経験できませんでしたが
それを差し引いても良かったです。この景色は感動的です。
ウミガメを近くで見ることも出来（しかも2頭）こちらも大満足。
スタッフの方も大変面白くて楽しいツアーでした。
次回は午前のプランに参加してみたいですね。

I was hoping there would be a bit more road, but it was so beautiful that I was moved! I was surprised that the turtles came close enough to touch. The staff were all cheerful, which made it a fun and wonderful experience✨ However, there were too few paddleboards, so I didn't get a turn... I wanted to do it... lol

I would love to use this service again when I come back to Hawaii!

もう少し道が出来るのかと期待していましたが
全然綺麗だったので感動でした！
まさかの亀も触れるくらいの距離まで来てくれて
スタッフさんも明るい方ばかりで楽しく最高でした✨
ただ、サップの数が少なく回ってこなかった。。
したかった。。。笑

またHawaiiに来た時にも利用したいです

A really great evening with a wonderful sunset and great views of Waikiki and Diamond Head. Crew were excellent and fun. Would definitely recommend and will be doing again when in Honolulu

I was able to see dolphins and sea turtles properly. The staff's enthusiasm was also wonderful. I'm glad I participated.

イルカ、海ガメにちゃんと会えました。
スタッフの盛り上げも素晴らしいかったですよ
参加して良かったです。

I visited Sandbar for the first time! The weather was great, and the sea was incredibly clear and beautiful! I was also able to see turtles, which made me very satisfied! The staff were very accommodating, and I highly recommend it!

初めてサンドバーに行きました！天候にも恵まれたこともあり、海がとにかく透き通っていてとても綺麗でした！さらにカメを見ることもでき、大満足でした！スタッフの方々の対応も非常によく、かなりおすすめです！

My boyfriend and I attended a morning cruise and it was an absolutely gorgeous day to set sail. Aside from the great weather and beautiful views, Captain Clifton (and his first mate) made the cruise even more enjoyable, with tons of informative facts and joke thrown into the mix. The boat was clean, the supply of drinks varied for adults and children and the day couldn't have been spent any better.

Thanks for the ride!

The weather was great, and the view of Diamond Head from the boat was amazing!! I was a bit anxious about participating alone, but the staff offered drinks and I was able to chat with other Japanese tourists... I had a really enjoyable time. Also, I was very lucky to see a turtle towards the end! I would like to use this service again.

とても天気が良く、船から見るダイヤモンドヘッドは最高でした！！一人参加ということで少し不安もありましたが、スタッフさんは飲み物とか勧めてくれるし、日本人観光客とお話しすることもできたし…とても楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。
あと終盤に亀を見ることができたのもとてもラッキーでした！
また利用したいと思います。

The local area was divided into different activities like movie tours and horseback riding, with a schedule set every 90 minutes.

My husband and I participated in the "Movie Location Tour," "Tropical Garden & Fish Pond Tour," and "Jungle Expedition." The movie locations looked exactly like what we saw in the films! If you're a movie lover, you'll definitely be thrilled! By the way, during the Tropical Garden & Fish Pond Tour, we explored the aquaculture pond by boat, which was also a famous filming location for Jurassic World. The Jungle Expedition had us racing through the mountains in a jeep while enjoying breathtaking views of Kualoa and the ocean. You really need to buckle up and hold on tight, as it shakes you around quite a bit! It's a fun attraction where motion sickness medication is a must.

By the way, the local staff who switch between English, Japanese, and Korean to accommodate guests are just too cool!

現地では映画ツアーや乗馬等で場所が分かれていて、時間ごと(90分？)に時間割が組まれていました。

私たち夫婦は「映画ロケ地ツアー」「トロピカルガーデン＆フィッシュポンドツアー」「ジャングルエクスペディション」に参加。
映画ロケ地はまさに映画で観たまんま！映画好きなら興奮しっぱなし間違いなしです！
ちなみにトロピカルガーデン＆フィッシュポンドツアーでは養殖池をボートで回りますが、ここもジュラシックワールドの有名シーンの撮影場所でした。
ジャングルエクスペディションはクアロアと海の絶景を見ながらジープで山の中を疾走。
ちゃんとベルトを締めて掴まってないとガンガン頭ぶつけるくらい、激しくゆさぶられます笑
酔い止め必須のおもしろアトラクションです。

それにしても、お客に会わせて英語、日本語、韓国語を使い分ける現地スタッフさん、かっこよすぎです笑

We went to Hawaii for our honeymoon, and at my wife's request, we participated in a sandbar tour. Due to the weather, there was no sandy beach, and we were constantly submerged up to our waists in water, but the clear sea and the impressive view of Kualoa made us feel like we were part of nature. The staff were Japanese, and all the announcements were in Japanese. Because of that, all about 20 guests were also Japanese. In that sense, the feeling of being in Hawaii might be slightly diminished.

The tour boat was surrounded by sea turtles and fish that resembled porcupinefish, allowing us to take plenty of photos up close! We also enjoyed snorkeling and paddleboarding, which was a lot of fun.

新婚旅行でハワイに行きましたが、妻の希望でサンドバーツアーに参加しました。
天候の関係か、砂浜はなく常に腰くらいまで水に浸かっている感じでしたが
澄んだ海や遠くに見えるクアロアが迫力満点で大自然の一部になっているような感覚でした。
スタッフさんは日本人の方で常に案内は日本語。それもあってか20名ほどのお客さんは
すべて日本人でした。そういう意味ではハワイに来た感覚は少し薄れるかもしれません。

ツアーの船に懐いているウミガメとハリセンボン？のような魚が周回してくれるので
近くで写真もたくさん撮れました！
シュノーケリングやパドルボートも遊べるのでとても楽しかったです。

The meeting place was Sheraton Waikiki. It was a tour with many Japanese participants. As a result, the activities at the ranch included a movie location tour exclusively for Japanese speakers, with a bus and a Japanese guide, which made it easy to understand and enjoyable. The sets from movies like Jurassic Park, Jurassic World, and Kong were still there, and it was exciting to see them.

シェラトンワイキキが集合場所でした。
日本人が多く参加するツアーでした。そのため、牧場でのアクティビティの映画ロケ地巡りは日本人のみでバスが作られ日本語ガイドが付き、わかりやすく良かったです。映画のジュラシックパークやジュラシックワールドやコングのセット（もっともっといろいろな映画が撮影されていましたが）が残っていて、ワクワクしました。

There were Japanese staff members present, which made me feel安心して参加できました！ The movie location tour was great; the staff took photos for us and provided detailed guidance! The weather turned bad halfway through, but thanks to the staff, we had a wonderful time! I highly recommend it!

日本人のスタッフの方がいらっしゃり、安心して参加できました！映画ロケ地ツアーは、スタッフの方が写真を撮ってくださったったり、案内も詳しくして下さいました！途中から天気が荒れてしまったのですが、スタッフさんのおかげで楽しく過ごせました！オススメです！

On the day of the tour, the water level was up to my thighs even in shallow areas. However, the staff's hospitality and the luxurious meals showed various considerations for Japanese guests. After boarding, we were served drinks and donuts, and there was an all-you-can-eat lunch during the tour, which was satisfying.

It seems there are many similar tours to the same location, but I'm glad I chose this one even though it was a bit more expensive.

The bus driver for the round trip didn't seem to speak Japanese. On the way there, he explained the overall flow and the consent form in English, but I couldn't catch it well. There was consideration to ensure the air conditioning in the vehicle wasn't too cold, which made it feel a bit hot instead.

It's a pity that I couldn't see any turtles. There's nothing that can be done about that. I would like to participate again.

当日は浅い場所でも太ももくらいまで水位がありました。
しかしスタッフのホスピタリティや、食事の豪華さなど、日本人向けに色々な配慮がありました。
乗船後にドリンクとドーナツ。ツアー途中にも食べ放題のランチと満足です。
同じ場所に行く似たツアーは、他にも沢山あるようですが、多少高くてもこちらを選んで良かったなと思ってます。

往復のバスの運転手さんは日本語が出来ない方のようでした。往路で英語で全体の流れと承諾書記入の説明をされましたが、よく聞き取れませんでした。車内の冷房が冷えすぎないようにという配慮があり、逆に暑いくらいでした。

亀が見られなかったのが残念です。こればかりは仕方ないですね。また参加してみたいです。

The price and content are about the same. However, the round trip bus drive to the destination was surprisingly enjoyable. Many people were sleeping on the bus ride back... It had a different Hawaiian feel compared to downtown Honolulu, and I thought it was nice to be swayed on the bus.

However, since a middle-aged couple participated, I wished they would refrain from calling each other "papa" and "mama." It brought me back to reality all at once.

値段と内容は同程度。
ただ、目的地までの往復のバスドライブは意外と楽しかった。
帰りのバス中は結構寝ている人が多かったが・・・
ホノルル中心部とは違う　ハワイらしさがあって　the busで
揺られてもいいなぁ　と思ったりもした。

ただ、中年夫婦が参加したため仕方がないが
papa・mamaというのはやめてほしかった。
一挙に現実に引き戻された。

I participated in this tour on my honeymoon. Although I couldn't see any dolphins during the first two tries, I was able to see them swimming slowly in a pod up close during the next two attempts. I also saw rays and sea turtles, and it was an amazing experience to witness the sea turtles surfacing for air.

Listening to Alisa made me want to maintain an eco-friendly lifestyle even after returning from Hawaii.

The wind was strong and it was cold on the boat, so I recommend renting a wetsuit. I have participated in two other dolphin tours in the past, where I was able to buy disposable underwater cameras at the wetsuit rental location, but this time we didn't stop at such a store. If you want to use a disposable underwater camera, I think it would be good to purchase one in advance at an ABC Store or similar. However, on this tour, the photographer Michael took a lot of great photos of all the participants, as well as beautiful shots of the dolphins and sea turtles, so it was more than enough. Since you can focus on snorkeling rather than taking pictures, I think a camera is unnecessary if you join this tour.

Thank you, Takao, Alisa, and Michael, for a wonderful experience!

ハネムーンでの参加でした。
イルカは最初2回のトライでは見れませんでしたが、その後2回は群れになってゆっくり泳ぐところを間近で見ることができました。エイやウミガメも見れて、ウミガメとの息継ぎも見ることができ、最高の体験でした☆
アリサさんのお話を聞いて、ハワイから帰った後もエコな生活を心がけたいなと思いました。

船上は風も強く寒いので、ウエットスーツのレンタルをお勧めします。
過去に2回他のイルカツアーに参加したことがあるのですが、その際はウエットスーツをレンタルする場所で使い捨ての水中カメラを購入することができましたが、今回はそのような店舗に寄ることはなかったので、使い捨ての水中カメラを使用されたい場合は、事前にABCストアなどで購入して参加すると良いかと思います。ただこのツアーでは、カメラマンのマイケルが、参加者全員の写真をまんべんなくたくさん撮ってくれており、またイルカやウミガメの写真もとてもキレイに撮影されており、十分でした。写真を撮ることよりシュノーケルに集中できるので、このツアーに参加される場合はカメラは不要かなと思います。
タカオさん、アリサさん、マイケルさん、素敵な体験をありがとうございました！！

If you only do one thing here do the premier movie tour.. The afternoon cruise was a nice way to finish the visit

Pick up at the hotel before sunrise. The brightness inside the private bus was enough to shake off any sleepiness. It was a windy day, but we encountered dolphins twice. We also saw turtles and rays. Although I came to see the dolphins, the impression of the staff left a stronger mark on me. It was a fun tour.

日が昇る前にホテルでピックアップ。専用バスの中は眠気もぶっ飛ぶ明るさバシバシ。その日は風も強かったですが、イルカ達に2度も出会えました。また、亀やエイなども。イルカに会いに来たのにスタッフの印象の方が強く残っています。楽しいツアーでした。

On the day of the event, the weather was somewhat unstable, with a mix of clouds and sunshine, and it felt a bit chilly. Since it was the afternoon, the sandbar was deeper than expected, and the water level was high enough that women could barely keep their faces above water. We did see sea turtles, but snorkeling was interrupted due to a massive jellyfish bloom, causing nearly half of the participants to get stung and panic ensued, leading to a halt after about ten minutes. Since we are dealing with nature, such situations are somewhat unavoidable, but I was disappointed as I was looking forward to snorkeling. The staff's response was very good, so I would like to try again if the opportunity arises.

当日は天候がやや不安定で曇ったり、晴れたりと微妙な天候で、やや寒い思いをしました。
サンドバー自体も午後の時間帯であったので、思ったよりも深く、女性は顔が出るのが精一杯まで水位が高かったです。
海ガメは見れましたが、シュノーケリングはクラゲが大量発生し、参加者の半数近くが刺されてパニック状況になり、10分程度で中断となってしまいました。
自然が相手なので、ある程度こういうケースもあるのは致し方無い事ですが、シュノーケリングを楽しみにしていたので残念でした。
スタッフの方の対応はとても良かったので、また機会があったらチャレンジしたいです。

I only had the image of playing at Waikiki Beach when thinking of Oahu, but there are tours that allow you to experience the grandeur of nature, such as mountains and forests. Additionally, for movie lovers, this is an irresistible activity, and my husband and I were extremely excited just to be able to visit the filming locations of Jurassic Park, which we both love.

Here are my impressions in bullet points:
- I was thrilled to see the filming locations of Jurassic Park and Jurassic World in person. In particular, it was exhilarating to explore the sets that were used for filming while riding in a jeep. (Entering the cage of the Indominus Rex from Jurassic World and seeing the claw marks on the walls that were left from the time of filming was the most exciting part.)
- The ocean tour on the cruise was beautiful, and the splashes felt wonderful. We also saw quite a few sea turtles, which was exciting.
- For those who are not interested in movie locations, there are activities at Secret Beach, and you can also ride buggies through the magnificent nature, so I think you can still have a great time. We didn't choose the buggy activity, but watching the tour guests riding buggies next to us made me really envious. It looked like so much fun.

オアフ島と行ったらワイキキビーチで遊ぶというイメージしかなかったが、山や森などの自然も壮大さを体験できるツアー。
また、映画好きにはたまらないアクティビティであり、私たち夫婦は共にジュラシックパークが大好きなのでそのロケ地を見て回れるという時点で最高に興奮した。

↓箇条書きで感想。
・ジュラシックパーク、ジュラシックワールドのロケ地を生で観れたこと。
　とくに、ロケ地で使ったセットがそのまま残っていてその中をジープに乗って探索することができとても興奮した。
（ジュラシックワールドのインドミナスレックスの檻の中に入れて、壁の爪痕なども映画当時のものがそのまま残っておりこれが一番興奮した）
・クルーズに乗っての海上ツアーでは海がとても綺麗でしぶきがとても気持ち良かった。
　また、ウミガメもかなり見れてこれも興奮した。
・映画ロケにまったく興味ない人は、シークレットビーチのアクティビティがあったり、
バギーに乗って壮大な自然を疾走するのもあるのでそれでも十分楽しめると思う。
我々はバギーのアクティビティは選択しなかったのだが、横でバギーで走っているツアー客を見ていたらすごい羨ましくなった。とても気持ちよさそうだと思う。

On the day we arrived in Hawaii, we immediately enjoyed a sunset cruise. There were about 20 people, but only two of us were Japanese. We quickly got into the Hawaii mood, and the sunset was incredibly beautiful, leaving us absolutely thrilled. Since we weren't very hungry on the day we arrived, a light snack was more than enough. The crew members were bright and cheerful, and they talked to us a lot, which was great. There is absolutely no need to participate in a luxury cruise.

ハワイに着いた日に、即、サンセットクルーズを満喫。
20人程いましたが、日本人は私たち2人。一気にハワイモードになり、
かつ、サンセットがすごく綺麗で、最高に感激。
着いた日は、そんなに空腹感はないので、軽食で十分でした。
クルーの人たちは、明るく陽気で、一杯話しかけてくれて、
大変良かったです。豪華クルーズに参加する必要は全くないです。

I participated on the day of arrival. I'm glad I could see both the fireworks and the sunset. I ordered the lobster, but it was too much to finish, which was a shame... I think the buffet-only plan would have been sufficient. The staff were very friendly, and I had a great time.

到着当日に参加しました。
花火もサンセットも観れてよかったです。
お料理はロブスター付けましたけど、多くて食べきれずもったいなかったです。。。
ビュッフェだけのプランでも充分だったかな。
スタッフさんたちはとてもフレンドリーで楽しい時間が過ごせました

It's unfortunate that the morning shuttle bus was too cold due to the air conditioning (laughs). For lunch, the buffet is better inside the house rather than outside where the birds come; a spacious building would be nice!

On a positive note, there was a mix-up with the order of activities upon arrival, but it was quickly corrected. After that, we smoothly enjoyed the attractions and had a memorable and fun day (the whole family is very grateful).

残念な事⤵…朝イチの送迎バスがエアコン利きすぎで寒かった(笑)、昼食のバイキングは鳥が来る外ではなくhouse中が良いですよ広い建屋がいいなぁ～

素晴らしい事…到着後食い違いでアクティビィの順番違いは有りましたが直ぐに修正、その後はスムーズにアトラクションをenjoy 想い出に残る楽しい1日を過ごさせて頂きました(家族全員大感謝です)

I participated at the request of my 8-year-old son. I was worried about seasickness, but thanks to the large, stable boat, I didn't feel sick at all. We were able to see dolphins and turtles up close, and we even got to take pictures with them. I thought my 5-year-old son might find it difficult, but with the gentle encouragement and guidance from the staff, he was able to go into the water and see them too.

8歳の息子のリクエストで参加しました。船酔いを心配していましたが、大きな船で安定感のあるタイプのおかげか、全く酔いませんでした。間近でイルカもカメも見る事が出来、一緒に写真を撮ってもらえました。5歳の息子は難しいかな？と思っていましたが、ガイドさん達の優しい言葉がけとご指導で海に入り見ることが出来ました。

Great way to see d island , eat and relax. D food was great and staff friendly and accommodating

I participated in three attractions, and time flew by!

Since it was my first time in Hawaii, I wanted to experience these typical attractions, and I was very satisfied.

3つのアトラクションに参加しましたが、あっという間に時間が過ぎました！

ハワイが初めてだったので、こういう普通のザ アトラクションを体験したかったので大満足です。

We participated as a family of three. Since we were staying at Hilton Village, we were scheduled to be picked up at 5 AM, but after waiting for a little over 15 minutes, I started to worry a bit, but we were able to meet up safely. Our 5-year-old daughter also joined, and she slept soundly in the car (laughs). Shortly after boarding the boat and moving to the spot, we finally spotted the dolphins! A large group of dolphins swam right beneath our feet. I was a bit worried about having the youngest participant, but my daughter was super excited!! After that, we also got to see turtles, and we experienced kayaking and paddleboarding, making it a very satisfying day. The staff members were always cheerful, and we were able to enjoy a fun atmosphere throughout. I definitely want to go again! ♪

家族3人で参加させて頂きました。
ヒルトンビレッジの宿泊でしたので、朝５時にピックアップ予定でしたが待つこと１５分強、
少し心配になりましたが無事に合流出来ました。
５歳の娘も参加したので娘は車ではぐっすりでした（笑）
船に乗ってポイントに移動後間もなくして待望のイルカを発見！
たくさんのイルカが群れを成して足の直ぐ下を泳いで行きました。
今回、最年少の参加少し心配していたのですが…これには娘も大興奮‼
その後カメのも会えたし、カヤックやパドルボートも体験出来て
大満足な一日でした。
スタッフの方々も終始明るくて楽しい雰囲気の中で過ごすことが出来ました。
是非、また行きたいです♪

There was also a Hawaiian dinner, but I opted for the affordable all-you-can-eat appetizers. It included four items like Thai-style grilled chicken and meatballs, along with a dessert cake. While it didn't feel luxurious, considering the $30 difference, the sunset, night view, and hula dance were wonderful, and I thoroughly enjoyed them.

ハワイアンディナーもあったのですが、金額の安いアペタイザー食べ放題にしました。タイ風の焼き鳥、肉団子など４品とデザートのケーキで、豪華感はなかったですが３０ドルの違いがあるとかと言えば、サンセットや夜景、フラダンスなどの主役は素晴らしく、充分堪能できました。

On the day of the tour, we were blessed with beautiful weather and visited the heavenly sea for the first time. I checked the low tide times in Japan and chose the lowest tide of that week to book the tour, but unfortunately, the water was up to my knees. However, during snorkeling, I encountered a sea turtle, and the tour was a fun experience.

当日は天恋にも恵まれて天国の海に初めて行ってきました。
日本で干潮時間を調べて、その週の一番干潮の時を選んで
ツアーを申し込みましたが、あいにくひざ下まで海水がありました。
でもシュノーケリングではウミガメに対面しツアーは楽しい時間でした。

Nice relaxing trip on the sailboat. You can walk around the boat, or even lay down on the mat. Sunset is nice if you are in to taking pictures.

Don't go for the appetizers: meatballs, chicken wings, and mix of crackers, just okay.

Lots of alcohol if you like to drink.

loved it. a little windy and cold. would be great if there was an outdoor shower to rinse off after for non-hotel guests

kids totally loved it. couldn't stop talking about it after.
