Oahu
I just want to say that it didn't turn out like the attached photo. I didn't bring a swimsuit this time because I didn't want to wear one. I thought it would be fine to just wear shorts since I was only going to step onto the sand.
But then I heard that the sandy area only appears during new moons or full moons. When I actually went, the beautiful white sand was under the gorgeous blue sea. The water was about knee-deep. However, to get down, I had to wade into the water up to my chest and then walk to that spot, which ended up meaning I had to view it from the boat... Not bringing a swimsuit was a mistake, but I never expected that the time when it looks like the promotional images would only be during a very limited period.
Well, aside from that, the weather was nice, and I got to see a lot of sea turtles, so it was good overall. Yeah, I guess I don't need to make a choice next time.
添付の写真のようにはいかないということだけ言っておきます。
水着になるのが嫌だったので、今回は水着は持って行かなかったわけです。
サンドの上に降り立つだけなので、ハーフパンツでいいかなと。
そしたら、砂地が出るのは新月とか満月とか、そういう時だけっていうじゃないですか。
実際行ってみたら、きれいな白い砂地はキレイなブルーな海の下。
膝の高さくらいまで海があったかな。
ただ、降りる際には一度海に胸くらいまで入って、その場所まで歩いて行かないといけなくて、
結果船から眺めるハメに・・・。
水着を持ってこなかったのも失敗だったんですが、まさかプロモーション画像のような時期は、
ほんの一部の時期だけなんて。
まぁそれを除けば、天気もよかったし、ウミガメもたくさん見れたし、良かったかな。
うん、もう次はチョイスしなくてヨシ。
Thank you very much for participating in the tour. We are delighted to hear that the weather was nice on the day of your visit and that you were able to enjoy watching the sea turtles.
Regarding the water level at the sandbar that you mentioned, as indicated on the tour page, please understand that due to the tides, there may be times when the sand beach is not visible. However, we can imagine that you were disappointed not to see the sandbar with the sand exposed above the water as you had hoped.
Additionally, please note that you will need to move through the water from the boat's docking position to the sandbar, so we kindly ask that you wear a swimsuit in advance.
Thank you very much for your valuable feedback despite your busy schedule.

この度は、ツアーにご参加いただき誠にありがとうございます。
当日は天気もよく、ウミガメをご鑑賞いただけたようで嬉しく思います。
ご指摘いただいておりますサンドバーの水位につきましては、ツアーページ上でご案内させていただいております通り、潮の満ち引きの関係上、砂浜が見えない場合もございますことご理解いただけますと幸いです。しかしながら、ご期待のそった水面から砂地がでているサンドバーをご覧いただくことができず、残念なお気持ちだったかと察します。
また、船の停泊位置からサンドバーまでは水の中を移動していただきますので、事前に水着の着用をお願いしておりますことご了承ください。
お忙しい中、貴重なご投稿を賜りまして、誠にありがとうございました。

I signed up because it wasn't too early in the morning.
I was disappointed that I could only see the sea turtles for a moment.
Playing beach volleyball at the sandbar was fun.
The hamburger was delicious.
Since it was my first time snorkeling, I would have appreciated a more detailed explanation.
I wanted to know that it's easier to swim using fins rather than treading water in deeper areas, and that you should get back on the boat facing backward.
The water was about thigh-deep, but I was satisfied to have gone to the sandbar.
朝が早すぎないので申込しました。
海ガメが一瞬しか見れなかったのが残念でした。
サンドバーでのビーチバレーが楽しかったです。
ハンバーガーも美味しかったです。
シュノーケルをしたのが初めてだったので、説明は丁寧にしてもらいたかったです。
深い所では立泳ぎより足ヒレを使って泳いでた方が楽とか船に上がる時は後ろ向きからとか説明して欲しかったです。
太股くらいまで水がありましたが、サンドバーに行けて満足でした。
My husband and I were celebrating our 10 year anniversary in Hawaii and I had always wanted to go horse-back riding on the beach. This was a great place to do that, beautiful weather, even better scenery. We were very happy with the private sunset ride.
I wanted to go somewhere different and participate in an activity that not many Japanese people join, so I went with my 10-year-old child and my father. It requires physical stamina, but it was incredibly fun. However, there were absolutely no Japanese people, so it was English ONLY. My child can speak English, so we managed somehow (laughs).
いつもと違うところへ行きたくて、なおかつ日本人のあまり参加しないアクティビティということで私、子供10歳、私の父で参加してきました。体力はいりますが最高に楽しかったです。ただまったく日本人がいないので英語ONLYです。子供が英語話せるので何とかなりました(笑)
I was a bit concerned that the pickup was about 15 minutes late, but the parasailing experience itself was very enjoyable. The process was quick, and it didn't take long to get suited up and take off.
There wasn't much explanation, which made me a little anxious. Since we were the last ones, we could watch the others first, but it might be scary if you're the very first.
The staff guy was super handsome, which really boosted my mood (laughs).
Parasailing is so much fun that I want to do it again.
I regret not bringing a camera that I could hang around my neck.
お迎えが15分ほど遅れたのは気になったが
パラセーリングの体験自体はとても楽しかった。
テンポよく、器具の装着がされ飛び立つのもあっという間。
説明がほとんどないのでちょっと不安ではあった。
私たちはいちばん最後だったので他の人のを見てからできたけど
一番最初だと怖いかも。
スタッフのお兄さんが超イケメンでテンションが上がった(笑)
パラセーリング楽しいからまたやりたい。
首にかけれるカメラ持っていけばよかったと後悔。
We were invited by our 23-year-old son and participated as a family, including my husband, daughter, and four sons. Although we couldn't improve as quickly as the sons, it was a wonderful experience to share as a family, creating very good memories.
息子23歳に誘われて夫婦と娘、息子四人で参加しました、
息子達のようには早く上達できませんでしたが、家族で同じ体験ができ
非常にいい思い出となりました。
It's disappointing that the instructor is a foreigner and all the explanations are in English without a Japanese driver providing interpretation. The photos are available for $30, so you should consider the participation fee plus the $30 for that.
インストラクターが外国人で、説明も全て英語で日本人のドライバーが通訳してくれないのが残念。写真は30ドルでUSBがもらえるので、参加費プラス30ドルで考えた方がいいです。
I participated in a company trip with my senior. I was nervous about my first horseback riding experience, but the horse was well-trained, so I was able to enjoy the ride. I was lucky to see sea turtles as well.
会社の旅行で先輩と一緒に参加しました。
初乗馬で緊張しましたが馬もしっかり調教されていたので、楽しんで乗れました。
ウミガメも見れてラッキーでした。
The pickup was on time, the bus driving was problem-free, and the guide was very entertaining and likable. However, the weather was not great; it was overcast, and the sea water was cold, which was completely different from the blue sky I had imagined, so I was very disappointed. I wonder if it depends on the season? I think it would be helpful if you could include that information as well.
ピックアップは時間通り、バスの運転も問題なく、ガイドさんはとても面白く、好感が持て良かった。
ただ、お天気が今一で、ドンヨリしていて、海の水は冷たくて、想像していた青い空晴れ渡る空のもととは全然違うものだったので、とても残念だった。時期にもよるのかなぁ?と思いますが、その辺も書いて頂けると参考に出来ると思いました。
Two people in their 60s, two in their 30s, an 18-year-old, a 7-year-old, and a 2-year-old participated. The crew and the hamburgers on board were very delicious, which was great, but they mentioned that the sandbar area is close to the mountains and there aren't many sunny days. It was very cold. When getting off the boat to the sandbar, you have to go into the water up to about your waist. My 18-year-old eldest son and my husband had fun participating in the sandbar activities, but they did not join the snorkeling. About half of the participants did not join. Those who did were shivering. If you bring plenty of warm clothing and think about staying warm, you can enjoy it. I thought it would be the same as the sandbars in Okinawa, so I only prepared for heatstroke. It was the complete opposite.
60代2人30代2人18歳7歳2歳で参加。乗務員さんや、船上のハンバーガーはとっても美味しくて良かったですが、サンドバー付近は、山間の近くにあって、なかなか晴れる日がないとの事。とっても寒いです。船からサンドバーに降りるときは、へそ下ぐらいまで海に入らないとだめです。18歳の長男と旦那は楽しく、サンドバーバレーに参加してましたが、シュノーケリングは,不参加。半分ぐらいの方不参加でした。入った人は、がくがく震えてました。着替えなどたくさん持って防寒を考えていくと入れます。私は、沖縄のサンドバーと同じだと思っていたので、熱中症対策ばかりで。真逆でした。
Honestly, I feel a strong sense of disappointment. We moved from the meeting point to the office and watched an explanatory video. Up to that point, everything was fine, but after that, we waited about an hour for the boat to go out to sea. There was no explanation, and we just waited. Finally, when the boat arrived and we thought we were going out to sea, we just boarded another boat that had already gone out. On that boat, there was still no explanation, and we were made to wait for over an hour… and in the end, I got seasick. I ended up experiencing the underwater scooter while not feeling well.
By the way, there were about ten Japanese people on board with us, and almost everyone was struggling with seasickness; they all looked very uncomfortable. I definitely recommend that anyone participating in the future take measures against seasickness!
正直、残念という想いが強いです。
集合場所からオフィスまで移動し説明ビデオを観賞。ここまでは良かったのですが、その後は海にでる船を待つこと約1時間。なんの説明もなく、ただただ待つだけ。やっと船が来て海に出たと思ったら、先に海に出ていた船へ乗船するだけ。その船でもまったく説明がないまま、さらに1時間以上待たされ…あげくのはてに船酔い。体調が優れないまま水中スクーターを体験するという結果になりました。
ちなみに一緒に乗船していた中に日本の方が10名ほどおりましたが、ほぼ全員の方が船酔いとの闘いで、皆さんもとて辛そうでした。
ぜひ今後、参加される方は必ず船酔い対策をし参加されることをおすすめします‼
This is my second time participating.
The contrast between the sky, the sea, and the surrounding scenery is beautiful.
I was able to see many sea turtles as well.
2回目の参加です。
とにかく、空と海と周囲の景色とのコントラストが綺麗です。
ウミガメとも沢山会えました。
Every member of the staff is polite. They're aim is that guest have an exciting, fun, safe time. It is all very entertaining and educational. The Atlantis experience is highly recommended .
of all my snorkelling experiences in Hawaii over the past 5 years,
I would say this was the best to date. Turtles are surrounding you
And actually come up from underneath you so you have to kick
Away so as not to invade their space. Crew was very informative and friendly.
Chose the 9 am option so as to have lunch buffet after a morning of snorkelling.
I participated in three activities: a movie location tour for about 1.5 hours, a jungle tour for about 1.5 hours, and a cruise. While I thought the jungle tour was somewhat lacking in the jungle experience, we did climb Triangle Mountain by jeep during the movie location tour, and at the end, we walked up a mountain path of about 10 meters. We could stop the car along the way to enjoy the scenery, but the view after the hike was truly beautiful. Since it was cloudy that day, I felt it was better to do the cruise for about 1.5 hours instead of spending three hours playing at Secret Island. We left Kualoa Ranch at 2:30 PM and were back at the hotel by 4 PM. Although it was an early morning, I think it was a recommended tour.
映画ロケ地めぐり約1.5時間、ジャングルツアー約1.5時間、クルーズの3種類に参加しました。ジャングルツアーはジャングルとは言えずそこそこかな〜とは思いますが、映画ロケ地めぐりで見た三角山にジープで登り、最後は10m位の山道を徒歩で登りました。途中でも車を止めて景色を見れますが、ブチハイキングの後に見た景色はとても美しかったです。当日は曇っていたのでシークレットアイランドで遊ぶ3時間よりクルーズ約1.5時間にしてよかったと思いました。
14:30にクアロア牧場を出て、16時にはホテルにいました。朝は早いけどオススメツアーだと思いまさした。
OK. Nothing special. It's as advertised. I would recommend it.
Had a great time! Really fun people and a really funny and exciting show. Had a great time and delicious food and so many exciting activities and souvenirs. Everyone there is pleasant and it's worth the deals they have online!!
I have been to a number of Luau's on Oahu and this one is by far the best, mostly due to the brilliant 'Chief' who will keep you laughing throughout the evening. The food is excellent, the Hawaiian dancing is magical, the fire dance is spectacular, the whole evening is just total enjoyment from beginning to end. A show not to be missed.
This was the most organized event I have ever been to. The staff was amazing and didn't miss a step. Honestly, with as many people they take care of and coming from all over the world, the staff was exceptional. Even the language barrier wasn't a problem. The food was excellent and the presentation was over the top. I would recommend this to anyone and will probably do this again.
Guides were great and so was the zip line. I would definitely do it again.
We went on our honeymoon, and it became a very enjoyable memory. The captain kept the atmosphere lively throughout the shuttle bus ride, and we had a great time playing volleyball in the shallow waters and enjoying handmade hamburgers from the crew.
Snorkeling at the coral reef allowed us to swim closely with sea turtles and interact with colorful fish.
However, the weather was bad that day, and the strong winds made it quite cold, which was disappointing as we couldn't see many sea turtles.
If I have the chance to go to Hawaii again, I definitely want to go back!
新婚旅行で行ったのですが、とても楽しい思い出になりました。
送迎バスよりキャプテンが終始盛り上げてくれ、浅瀬でのバレーボールやクルーの方の手作りハンバーガーなど、楽しいひとときを過ごさせていただきました。
珊瑚礁でのシュノーケリングは、ウミガメと間近で泳げたり、色とりどりの魚達と触れ合うことができました。
ただ、当日の天気が悪く風も強かったため、ウミガメがあまり見れず、何よりも寒かったのが残念でした…。
またハワイに行く機会があったら、是非もう一度行きたいです!
I was a bit worried because there were reviews saying the meeting place was hard to find, but it was right there as soon as I went down the east corridor of Outrigger Reef Waikiki Beach Resort towards the beach. Once we reached the point in the ocean, we put on life jackets and snorkels and went underwater. We saw many black fish, and occasionally some white and colorful fish, and I was even able to see a sea turtle come up for air. Although there were no fins, I had a great time.
After everyone caught their breath, we went sailing. The weather was nice, the wind felt good, and the view was great. Snacks and drinks were provided. My wife had a bit of a tough time with seasickness, so it might be a good idea for those who are prone to motion sickness to take some medication beforehand.
集合場所がわかりにくいという口コミがあったので少し不安でしたが、Outrigger Reef Waikiki Beach Resortの東側の通路を海に向かっていってビーチに出たところにすぐありました。沖に出てポイントに着いたらライフジャケットとシュノーケルをつけて海中へ。たくさんの黒い魚と、ときどき白やカラフルな魚が見え、また一度ウミガメが息継ぎに上がってきたのを見ることができました。フィンはありませんでしたが、十分楽しめました。
みんなが一息ついたらセーリング。天気もよく風も気持ちよく、眺めもよかったです。スナックやドリンクが出ました。妻は船酔いで少し大変でしたので、酔いやすい人は酔い止めを飲むなどの対策をした方がよいかもしれません。
It's a very enjoyable plan if you're with someone. However, I've heard that the sand mountain only appears 2-3 days a year. But the freshly grilled hamburgers were delicious, and it became a great memory.
連れと一緒ならとても楽しいプランです。
ただ、ほんとに砂山が出現は年に2-3日とのこと。
でもハンバーガー焼きたてでおいしいし良い思い出になりました。
I was really anxious because all the lessons were in English, but the teachers were very kind, so I enjoyed it. The person I took the lesson with was also Japanese, so we were able to chat and have a good time together. I did get seasick while surfing, and by the end, my energy and stamina were down, but I did manage to catch a few good waves, so I want to try it again. Next time, I'll take some motion sickness medication. Thank you very much. It was fun!!
レッスンはすべて英語とのことでとっても不安でしたが、先生方がとってもやさしい方だったので楽しめました。
一緒にレッスンした方も同じ日本人の方だったので、お話しなどできて楽しく過ごすことが出来ました。
サーフィンは波酔いして最後のほうは気力・体力がダウンしてしまいましたが、うまく波にのれたのも数回あったので、またやってみたいなとおもっています。
今度は酔い止めのんでいきます。
ありがとうございました。
たのしかった!!
We made a reservation for the 8 AM flight and were very satisfied with our private flight just for us! Although it was quite windy on the ground, the winds were calm and pleasant at altitude, just as we had been informed.
When we checked in, I mentioned that I wanted some photos, so that was great, but it seems they wouldn't have taken any if I hadn't said anything. (I'm glad I spoke up...)
The photos we received were quite beautiful, and I was very satisfied. When I asked them to take a lot of pictures, they ended up taking about 130 shots.
I was torn between 120 and 150, but after the flight, I thought I probably wouldn't have noticed much difference between the two, so I was glad I chose 120. Even with 120, we could see Diamond Head beautifully.
朝一番の8時の会に予約をしたら私たちだけのプライベートフライトで大満足でした!
地上は風がきつかったのですが、上空は事前に説明を受けたとおり風が穏やかでいい風が・・・
事前の受付の際に、「写真が欲しいのだけど」と伝えたのでよかったですが、
伝えなかったら撮ってくれなかったようです。(言ってよかった・・・)
頂いた写真はかなり画像もキレイで満足です。
たくさん撮って!と言ったら130枚ほど撮影してくれました。
120か150か迷ったのですが、フライトしてみて、120と150の違いはあまりわからかなった
だろうなぁと思ったので120にしてよかったです。
120でもダイヤモンドヘッド十分きれいに見れました。
Me & my mom had a blast on this dinner cruise. The staff, entertainment & food was superior. We would recommend this delightful activity to anyone coming to Waikiki. We would definitely do this again ourselves! This was a highlight & great memory of our Hawaiian vacation!
Our driver gave us history of the crater and tips about local spots as we traveled through the city. Very friendly. The hike was great. Very senic and not that taxing.
I was really looking forward to this tour because I had heard from a friend who participated that it was great.
On the bus ride from the meeting point to the West Coast, the staff energetically explained the climate of Hawaii and more. They also taught us the differences between mammals and fish in a fun quiz format, and when we encountered dolphins, they explained how to approach them without startling them, which heightened my anticipation even more.
Then, we set sail. When we spotted dolphins, we went closer by boat and swam near them under the guidance of the staff.
There were about 50 dolphins swimming together. We swam just below the surface, so we could see the dolphins swimming above us. I was moved by this first-time experience! And they were wild dolphins. It became an unforgettable moment.
On the way back, we enjoyed cheeseburgers and warm tea on the boat. Eating them while feeling the wind after swimming made them taste even better than usual.
In the end, all the crew members danced hula on the boat to wrap up the tour. It became a wonderful memory. Thank you very much.
友人がこのツアーに参加し、とてもよかったときいていたので、とても楽しみにしていました。
集合場所から西海岸までの行きのバスの中、元気いっぱいにスタッフさんがハワイについての気候等の説明もしてくれました。
その他、哺乳類と魚類の違いをクイズ形式でわかりやすく教えてもらったり、イルカに遭遇した時にイルカが驚かないポイントの説明を受け、 一層期待が湧きました。
そして、出港。イルカを見つけると船で近くまで行き、スタッフさんの誘導でイルカの近くまで泳ぎました。
イルカが50匹ほど群れをつくっていました。イルカの群れよりも海面に近いところを私たちは泳いでいたので、イルカの群れが泳いでいるのを上から見ました。
この初めての体験に感動しました!
しかも野生のイルカです。一生忘れない感動になりました。
帰りの船の中でチーズバーガー、温かいお茶を頂きました。
泳いだ後に船の上で風にあたりながら頂いたので、いつもより格別に美味しかったです。
最後はクルー全員で船の上でフラを踊って終わりました。
とてもいい思い出になりました。ありがとうございました。
ALOHA!! Thank you very much for participating this time. We are very happy that Dolphin University could contribute to your memories in Hawaii. We hope you will choose Dolphin Middle School and University again when you visit next time. We look forward to having you along with the friends you recommended! MAHALO!!
ALOHA!! この度はご参加頂きありがとうございました。 ハワイでの思い出作りにイルカ大学が貢献でき、とても嬉しく思います。 次回お越しになった際も是非、イルカ中学・大学を選んでいただけたらと思います。 次回はおすすめしてくださったご友人とも一緒に! MAHALO!!
thank u so much. captain & staff. so nice & fun.
everything was good except bad weather (windy rain).
There were us (my partner and I, along with our friends who are also a couple) and two other couples participating. I was the only Japanese participant (my husband and our friends are American). I wonder if Japanese people don’t participate much...
It seemed that we could have photos taken for an additional fee, but we weren’t informed about that service (we noticed it because the other couples were getting their photos taken). I had an underwater camera, so I was able to take some photos myself, but I would have liked to pay for professional photos.
The parasailing was very mild. I requested a dip, thinking it would be a light drop and a splash of water, but they really just slowly lowered us down, barely dipping our bottoms in the sea. I remember parasailing in Hawaii ten years ago being much more intense, but maybe it has changed or I’m just misremembering...
The service for the activity was neither good nor bad.
However, when I placed my underwater camera under the seat of the shuttle, it fell out of my bag and I left it behind. A few days later, when I contacted them and mentioned that I had no rental car on my return date, they kindly delivered it to my hotel. That was really helpful.
参加者はわたしたち(わたしたちカップルと友達カップル)と他に2組のカップルがいました。
日本人参加者はわたしだけ(夫と友達カップルもアメリカ人)でした。日本人はあまり参加しないのかしら・・・。
追加料金を支払うと写真を撮ってもらえるようでしたが、そのサービスの説明は私たちにはありませんでした(他のカップルが撮ってもらっていたので気づきました)。水中カメラをもっていたので自分でも写真を撮れましたが、わたしはお金を払って撮ってもらいたかったです。
パラセーリングは激しさ0でした。ディップを頼んだのですが、軽く落とされて水を浴びる感じかと思いましたが、本当にゆっくり下におろして、ちょんっとおしりを海につけるだけです。
10年前にハワイでパラセーリングをしたときはもっと激しかったと思いましたが、変わったのか思い違いをしてるのか・・・。
アクティビティのサービスには可もなく不可もなく。
ただ、水中カメラを送迎者の座席の下に荷物を置いた際に、カバンから出てしまい、置いてきてしまったのですが、数日後連絡し帰宅日でレンタカーもないと言うと、わざわざホテルまで届けてくれました。とても助かりました。
