イルカ大学 イルカウォッチング&シュノーケリングクルーズ イルカと泳ぐプランも!マリンアクティビティも充実<ランチ付き/日本語/ワイキキ&コオリナ送迎可>

Spindle jump is the best!! スピンドルジャンプ最高!!

Reviewed by: 海大好きファミリー

I searched online for a tour to swim with wild dolphins and signed up for "Dolphin University," which had the best reviews. It was a great decision. The staff were enthusiastic both on the bus and on the boat, making it a very enjoyable tour. We were blessed with good weather and received satisfying lessons from Dolphin Sensei and Professor Turtle, successfully graduating from the experience.

The schedule involved being picked up by a bus from the hotel at 6 AM, traveling along the west coast of Oahu for about an hour to reach the port. During the ride, the female staff shared detailed explanations about dolphins and turtles, tips for swimming well with dolphins, and snorkeling precautions, which made the journey exciting and tense as we quickly arrived at the port.

We immediately boarded the boat, sang "Ehomai" to pray for safe sailing, and set off. Fifteen minutes later, we encountered the first pod of dolphins, which included a mother and her baby (about five dolphins spotted). The second pod had over 20 dolphins! They swam gracefully beneath us as we floated with our snorkels. They were incredibly fast! On that day, there were three pods in the bay. The dolphins even showcased some spindle jumps. I felt super lucky and wished I could swim with them a little longer.

Next, we enjoyed snorkeling at the fish and turtle point. There were only a few coral reefs in this area (which is generally sparse around Oahu). We also tried paddle surfing for the first time and managed to stand up quickly, which was fun. However, it was a bit disappointing that the hula dance we were looking forward to couldn't happen due to sound equipment issues. I would have loved to do it even without music.

The photographer took many pictures, and I think it would be even better if there was a system to select and purchase only the photos we wanted for creating memories. We had to wait about 30 minutes for the return bus, which was a bit frustrating in the heat. Overall, it was a very fulfilling and enjoyable tour. I highly recommend it.

野生のイルカと泳ぐツアーをネットで探し、口コミポイントの一番良かった「イルカ大学」に申し込みました。大正解でした。とにかく、スタッフの方々が、道中のバスでも船上でも、盛り上げてくれて、とても楽しいツアーです。天気にも恵まれ、イルカ先生とカメ教授にご指導頂き、満足のいく授業を受けることができ、無事卒業できました。スケジュールは、早朝(6時)にホテルからお迎えのバスに乗り込み、オワフ島西海岸を通り約1時間で港に到着。車中では女性スタッフが、イルカやカメの話し、イルカと一緒に上手に泳ぐためのポイント、シュノーケルの注意事項等々・・・詳細な説明があり、ワクワクと緊張であっという間に港に到着。すぐに、船に乗り込み、航海の安全を祈る「エホマイ」を歌い、出港。15分後には、第1のイルカの群れに遭遇。なんと親子連れの群れ(約5頭目撃)。第2の群れは、20頭以上はいたかなあ?シュノーケルで浮いている私たちの下をすいすい泳いでいきました。さすがに速い!!当日は湾に3つの群れがいたそうです。イルカ達は、スピンドルジャンプも披露してくれました。超ラッキーでした。もう少し、イルカと一緒に泳ぎた~いと思いました。次に、魚とウミガメポイントでシュノーケリングを楽しみました。ここの海には珊瑚礁は少ししかありません(オワフ島全般に少ないですが・・・)。私達は、パドルサーフィンを楽しみました。初めての挑戦でしたがすぐに立つことができ楽しめました。ちょっと残念だったのが、楽しみにしていたフラダンスが音響設備の不具合でできなかったことです。音楽なくてもやりたかったです。カメラマンの方が沢山写真を撮ってくれました。欲しい写真のみ選んで購入できるシステムがあればよりよい思い出作りができると思います。帰りのバスがなかなか到着せず、暑い中30分位待たされました。総合的には、とても充実した楽しいツアーでした。おすすめです。

サンドバー天使の海 シュノーケリング&ウミガメウォッチクルーズ 船上のBBQグリルで焼くハンバーガーランチ付き!<午前/日本語クルー>

Very satisfied. 大満足

Reviewed by: ゆきこ

Since it wasn't low tide, the water at the sandbar was up to my knees. Still, I could fully enjoy the strange feeling of standing right in the middle of the ocean.

For snorkeling, we swam along the edge of the sandbar. Thanks to the life jacket and float (or buoy?), I was able to snorkel safely without getting separated from my companions. Although the fish didn't come very close, we could see quite a few. Some reviews mentioned that the time was a bit short, but it was more than enough for beginners in snorkeling.

干潮ではなかったのでサンドバーでは膝位まで潮が満ちていました。
それでも海のど真ん中に立っている不思議な感じは満喫できます。

シュノーケリングはサンドバーの淵に沿って泳ぎます。
ライフジャケットと浮き輪(浮き棒?)のおかげで、連れとも離れずに安心してシュノーケリングができました。
魚も近くには来ませんが、結構見られます。
少し時間が短いという口コミもありましたが、シュノーケリング初心者には十分でした。

Hilton Port Waikiki Sunset Cruise with Cocktails & Appetizers - Spirit of Aloha

Great Sunset Cruise

Reviewed by: Mary Ann

My partner & I, sister & brother in law had such a good fun time. The crew were young, energetic & so professional. Nothing was a problem, plus they were also great photographers. The food was delicious & lots of it & the drinks were plentiful. The catamaran was fun especially sitting at the front on the net with the water underneath you. When we arrived back at the pier our shoes were ready sitting in pairs, after they had been locked safely away in a box on the dock until our return. Oh yes & the sunset was beautiful.

The staff were all great people! スタッフさんがみんな良い人でした!

Reviewed by: たかな

The weather was terrible on the day we went, and it rained several times along the way. During the snorkeling, there was a heavy downpour like a tropical storm, but the staff kept the atmosphere lively with bright voices and topics.

The rain was so intense that more than half of the people returned to the boat, but even then, they kindly prepared warm cocoa and coffee for us. The Japanese staff member took a lot of photos, and I thought it would have been perfect if the weather had been just a little better.

I was told that as long as I disposed of my trash, I could smoke on the sandbar, so I think smokers should definitely bring their cigarettes and lighters without hesitation. If you're not taking photos underwater, a regular digital camera or phone would be just fine.

The BBQ burger was delicious. You won't get one unless you remember the staff's name! The amount of tomatoes is one slice per person, so if someone takes two, there won't be enough. The staff was watching and laughing, saying, "One slice only!!"

行った日は天候が酷く、途中に何度も雨が降っていました。シュノーケルのタイミングでスコールのような大荒れの天気になったのですが、明るい声や話題で絶えず盛り上げて下さいました。
あまりにも激しい雨だったので、半分以上の人が船に戻ったのですが、そのときもすぐに温かいココアやコーヒーを用意して下さったりと、本当に親切でした。
日本人スタッフのお姉さんは写真をたくさん撮ってくれたし、天気があと少しでも良かったら最高だったなあと思いました。
自分でゴミさえ処理すれば、サンドバーでタバコも吸っていいよ、と言われたので、喫煙者の方は遠慮せずタバコとライターを持っていくべきだと思います笑
海の中を取らないのであれば、普通のデジカメや携帯でも問題ないくらいです。
BBQバーガーも美味しいです。スタッフさんの名前を忘れているともらえません。笑
トマトの量が1人1枚なので、ひとりで2枚取るような人がいると足りなくなります。スタッフさんが「1枚マデー!!」と笑いながら監視してました。笑

クライムワークス・ケアナファーム ジップライン体験(3時間) オアフ島最長800メートルのラインでノースショアの大自然と絶景を満喫<7本>

I'm glad I made it back alive!! 生きて帰れてよかった!!

Reviewed by: Noboru Hatori

We booked the North Shore Keana Farms Zipline Adventure (7 lines) / Standard (with transportation) for four people at my daughter's request. On the day of the tour, the shuttle bus arrived an hour late at the pickup location. (I could communicate in English a bit, so I was able to call multiple times to ask about the delay, but regular Japanese tourists would have been left feeling anxious with no way to get information.) After that, the vehicle we departed in had a flat tire on the coastal road, which almost led to a serious accident! We had to deal with another vehicle in a panic! Although we were initially told we would return by 2:00 PM, we were alarmed to hear it might be around 5:00 PM, which caused us to rush to cancel our dinner reservation. In the end, we returned around 3:00 PM. While the activity itself was somewhat satisfying, I believe the level of pickup service and ensuring the safety of travelers was extremely low. We would not recommend this tour to others.

Thank you very much for participating in the tour.

However, I sincerely apologize for the delays in pick-up and the unfortunate incident of a flat tire during the transfer, which may have caused you to feel uneasy, despite your enjoyment of the activities themselves.

As you mentioned, to ensure a safe experience for all participants, it is essential that all tours and activities we provide meet safety standards. We will work together with the local operating company to improve our services and prevent similar inconveniences in the future.

Thank you for your valuable feedback amidst your busy schedule.

サンセット・カクテルクルーズ マジェスティック号 3階建ての大型クルーズ船でダイヤモンドヘッドなどのパノラマビュー!ウェルカムドリンク付<アロハタワー発>

I was able to fully enjoy the scenery. 景色を満喫できました

Reviewed by: よきむ

Dinner was a buffet, and it was great to have control over the portions. The roast beef that was served was delicious. There were Japanese staff members, so I didn't have any trouble communicating.

Indeed, I didn't notice any swaying, and I had finished eating before we set sail. After eating on the first floor, everyone was free to go up to the bar on the second floor or the third floor, and I appreciated that freedom. While on the third floor, I could hear the live music from the second floor, but I couldn't tell when the hula dance show was happening. I was very satisfied as I enjoyed the views of Waikiki, Diamond Head, yachts, and the sunset, but it might not be suitable for those who want to see more shows or party. I saw many people dancing on a large cruise ship passing by as it entered the harbor, so if you prefer a more relaxed atmosphere to enjoy your meal and the scenery, I think this cruise is a good option.

夕食はビュッフェで、量がコントロールできて良かったです。切り分けていただいたローストビーフはおいしかったです。
日本語スタッフもいましたので、困るようなことはありませんでした。
確かに揺れも気にならないし、ほとんど出港前に食べ終わっていました。1階で食べたら、各々自由に2階のバーや3階に上がっていて、その自由さが良かったです。3階にいると、2階の生演奏の歌は聞こえるけど、フラダンスのショーがいつやっていたのかは分かりませんでした。私はワイキキ、ダイヤモンドヘッド、ヨット、夕日など景色を満喫できたので大満足でしたが、ショーをもっと見たり騒ぎたい人には向かないかもしれません。近くを走行する大きなクルーズ船では、港に入るときに大勢が踊っているのが見えましたので、そういう雰囲気が苦手で食事と景色を楽しむなら、こちらのクルーズはお手頃だと思います。

クライムワークス・ケアナファーム ジップライン体験(3時間) オアフ島最長800メートルのラインでノースショアの大自然と絶景を満喫<7本>

The best aerial walk! 最高の空中散歩!

Reviewed by: かっちん

I participated with a friend.
The zip line itself is absolutely amazing!
Maybe the sun was stronger than we expected, but when we got back, both my friend and I had terrible sunburns on our arms... (laughs)

We slid down a total of seven lines, and the views, distances, and heights were all different, making it a truly fun and fantastic aerial walk!
Taking that first step is incredibly scary.
But once you calm down, you realize you're securely strapped to the wire... I felt that way from the second line onward. ^ ^

However, the pickup time was just so delayed!
It was scheduled for 7:45, but after 30 minutes, they still hadn't arrived. I called and was told to wait, so I was worried while waiting, and they finally showed up an hour later (at 8:45).
Apparently, there was a traffic jam... It was really stressful not having a way to contact them on-site.
Also, on the way there, we had to wait for another car due to vehicle trouble... we ended up waiting for about 30 minutes. (laughs)
When we arrived, there wasn't much said, and we just checked in quickly...

But despite all that frustration, it was so great that I forgot about it!
All the instructors were very kind as well. ^ ^

友人と2人で参加してきました。
ジップライン自体はものすごく最高です!
思っている以上に日差しが強かったのか、帰ったら友人と腕周りが日焼けで大変なことになってました…(笑)

計7本を滑りましたが、見る景色や距離、高さなど色々あり本当に楽しい、最高の空中散歩です!
初めの1歩目を踏み出すのはものすっごく怖いです。
ただ冷静になれば、しっかりワイヤーに体括られてるしな…2本目からは思えました。^ ^

ただ。
ピックアップの時間が、とにかく!遅れてました。
7:45予定でしたが、30分経っても来ず、電話を掛けて、待っててくれとの事だったので、心配しながら待ってると1時間後(8:45)に来ました。
どうやら渋滞で混んでいたらしいですが…現地で連絡の手段がないと物凄く焦りました。
後は、向かっている途中で車のトラブルで別の車を待つことに…これまだ30分くらい待ちぼうけでした。(笑)
着いて何か言われる訳でもなく、速攻チェックインして…って感じでした。

ただ、そんなモヤモヤも忘れさせてくれるくらい最高です!
インストラクターの方々もみなさん、優しい方です^ ^

Luxury Ko Olina Sunset Cruise with Snorkeling, Dinner Buffet & Premium Cocktails - Ocean Joy Cruises

Ocean Joy Snorkel & Dinner Cruise Review

Reviewed by: Unhappy customer

We were pretty disappointed with this trip. Just not as organized as we had hoped. We've been on many different snorkel trips over the years and this is one of the most unorganized we've attended. Competing boats seem to pass out gear and explain rules and safety regulations on the way to the destination. Then, once anchored, we can get in the water. This boat waits until we are on anchor, then starts the slow unorganized process of handing out gear. Takes way too long!

Food was decent, but mixed drinks were not! The captain, although tried to be funny, was not for the most part. We tried to have a conversation with him and generally got one word answers. So, he really wasn't interested in talking with us. When we were on anchor, he seemed to be more interested in flying his own personal drone around the boat.

The crew was nice and helpful, the captain, not so much! The best part of the trip was the photographer. Really a terrific individual, very personal with the guest and generally took an interest in the guest.

Overall, I wouldn't use this boat again.

Aloha and thank you so much for taking the time to write about your experience on the Kai 'Oli'Oli. We are sorry your experience wasn't the best. Because of your feedback, we have thoroughly retrained the crew on how to efficiently conduct our snorkel preparation and briefings and have privately counseled the Captain about his disinterest towards you and your family. At our next crew meeting, we have food and beverage training scheduled in addition to our usual safety training. We strive to always have complete customer satisfaction and we know that at times we may fall short, so we truly appreciate your input. When you visit O'ahu again, please call us directly and we would like to host you on our boat and we will be proud to show you a better tour as a result of your review.

ハワイでパラセーリング 高さ120m/150mの上空からワイキキとダイアモンドヘッドの絶景を鑑賞!<ヒルトン・ワイキキ>

No sense of fear!! 恐怖感無し!!

Reviewed by: ぺこりん

Since it was our family's first time parasailing, we decided on the 90M option based on these reviews. The pickup car arrived right on time, and the driver was so cheerful! Even though we could only have a little conversation, he kept talking to keep the mood lively.

As for the parasailing itself, the crew was a cheerful duo who spoke mostly English. There were only two families, including ours, so there was no seasickness as mentioned in the reviews (though it might have been because we took motion sickness medication...). My middle school daughter was really scared and was unsure until the last moment, but afterward, she said it was great and felt wonderful! There was hardly any fear at all. The views of Diamond Head and Waikiki were truly beautiful and breathtaking. We even got to see sea turtles!

If we have the chance to go again, we would definitely participate.

家族全員初パラセーリングなので、こちらの口コミを参考にしながら90Mにしました。
迎えの車も時間ぴったりに来て下さり、運転手の方の陽気なこと!
会話も少ししかできないのに、盛り上げようとずーっと話をしてくれていました。
本題のパラセーリングですが、乗務員はほぼ英語のやはりこちらも陽気な2人組でした。私たち家族の他は3人家族の計2組でしたので、口コミにあるような船酔いもありませんでした(もしかしたら酔い止めを飲んだのでその効果かもしれませんが…)中学生の娘が本当に怖がっていて、直前までどうしようか迷っていましたが、終わったあとはやって良かった!気持ち良かった!と大絶賛でした。ほぼ恐怖感は無いです。ダイヤモンドヘッド、ワイキキの全景が本当にきれいで感動ものです。そして海ガメも見ることができました!
また行く機会があれば、ぜひ参加したいです。

I was worried about seasickness, but according to the captain, it was a calm sea, which happens only about 30 days a year—lucky us! He mentioned that usually, someone ends up throwing up (laughs).

Although the explanation was only in English, the most important rule was: do not stick your hands and feet outside the cage! Fortunately, there were no shark attacks. We took our time and got to enjoy a lifetime's worth of sharks up close!

船酔いを心配しましたが、船長さん曰く年に30日あるかどうかの穏やかな海、ラッキーだね、とのこと。いつもは一人は吐く人がいるそうです (笑)

クアロア・ランチ 乗馬体験(2時間) 映画ロケ地にもなった雄大な大自然を馬に乗って満喫!<送迎付きプランあり>

Horseback riding experience 乗馬体験

Reviewed by: nanati

The 2-hour horseback riding experience was extremely satisfying. The horses were well-trained and seemed to remember the course, so I could ride comfortably without needing excessive control. Along the way, I could see the ocean and filming locations, which offered stunning views!

2時間の乗馬体験はとっても大満足でした。馬達は良く調教されていて、コースを覚えているようで、必要以上のコントロールは必要なく安心して乗ることができました。途中で海が見えたり映画の撮影場所が見れたり、絶景でした!

It was cold, but the scenery was amazing. 寒かったけど、景色は最高

Reviewed by: ムシバラス

Unfortunately, it was cloudy and windy, and it was cold without a rash guard... The scenery is nice, though. However, it seems that the view during high tide, like in the photos, can only be seen a few times a year, and it appears that this is not the right time.

残念ながら、曇っていて風もあり、ラッシュガードが無いと寒くて…景色は良いです。ただし、写真で見るような満ち潮の時のような景色は、一年に数回しか見れないようで、今回はその時期では無いようでした。

BOB's Hawaii Underwater Scooter Adventure & Turtle Watching Tour

poorly organized program......wait too much time for 15 min riding

Reviewed by: Hugh

Even though I spent the whole morning for this activity, I just rode the underwater scooter for 15 min only. Furthermore, I couldn't even enjoy with my wife and son at the same time. So embarrassed and annoyed much. I admit the riding itself is exciting activity but their program was not that sophisticated. I was so much disappointed.

ハワイでパラセーリング 高さ120m/150mの上空からワイキキとダイアモンドヘッドの絶景を鑑賞!<ヒルトン・ワイキキ>

A wonderful journey in the sky. 素晴らしい空の旅

Reviewed by: Guess?

My first parasailing experience. I challenged myself to 90 meters. At first, I was worried about whether I would be okay at such a height, but once I actually did it, I felt no fear at all; instead, it was exhilarating. It truly felt like I was flying like a bird.

Along the way, there was a bonus where I intentionally dropped into the sea (from a low position) once.

Although it was a short time of about five minutes, it was wonderful.

The staff seemed to speak a little bit of Japanese.

初めてのパラセイリング。90Mにチャレンジしてみました。 初めは高くても大丈夫かなという心配がありましたが、実際やってみると、少しも怖くなく、かえって、爽快でした。本当に鳥になって飛んでいるようでした。

途中、一回、わざと、海の中に落ちる(低い位置から)というおまけ(❓)もついています。

5分ほどの短い時間ではありましたが、素晴らしかったです。

スタッフに人は片言の日本語が話せるようです。

Kiss a dolphin at Dolphin Encounter! ドルフィン・エンカウンターでイルカとキス!

Reviewed by: 勘太丸

Taking my three-year-old daughter to Hawaii. I've been to Hawaii many times, but this was my first time with a child, so I was unsure where to take her and chose this option.

In the end, it was the right choice. We drove along the coast from Waikiki in a rental car, enjoying the beautiful scenery, and headed to Sea Life Park. After having fun at Sea Life Park, we went to Kailua for some shopping.

It was a day that both my child and wife enjoyed.

Just one thing, the hot dog at Sea Life Park wasn't that great, haha.

三歳児の娘を連れてのハワイ。
自分はもう何十回もハワイにきているが、子連れは初ということで、どこに連れて行くのがいいのか迷ってこちらを選択。

結果、正解でした。
レンタカーでワイキキから海沿いをドライブして綺麗な景色を楽しみつつ、シーライフパークを目指し、シーライフパークで遊んだあとはカイルアまで行ってお買い物。

子供、妻共々楽しんでくれた一日コースでした。

ただ一点、シーライフパークに唯一あるホットドックはたいして美味しくなかったかな笑

I got to see dolphins! ☆ イルカに逢えました☆

Reviewed by: joh

I was able to see dolphins from the boat multiple times, but it was difficult to see them swimming underwater. However, on my third try, I finally got to meet a dolphin I had been hoping to see. They swam beneath us and, although at a distance, they performed spinning jumps, and I even got to see a baby dolphin. It was amazing. I want to participate again.

船の上からイルカを何度も見ることはできていましたが、水中で泳いでいる姿を見ることはなかなかできませんでしたが、3回目のトライで念願のイルカに逢えました。
自分たちが泳いでいる下を通り過ぎたり、中距離でしたが、回転ジャンプしたり、赤ちゃんイルカに逢えました。
最高でした。また参加したいです。

2-Hour Jurassic Valley Kualoa Ranch ATV Raptor Adventure Tour - Most Popular!

Expected more

Reviewed by: Lisa

While we had fun, there were a few issues that made this an average excursion:
- they did not provide goggles as indicated. They are definitely needed. Even with my sunglasses on, the amount of dirt that got in my eyes made it difficult to see. It was painful.
- we stopped at 1 movie site.
- an hour is not enough time.
- you get pretty dirty. Don't wear a light color. I'm still trying to get dirt stains out of my shirt.

Maybe there's limits because of the size of the multi passenger vehicle. Based on the description on the site, we expected more. The people on the single rider ATVs looked like they had a lot of fun.

We would go again after my daughter is old enough for the single rider ATVs
