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＞

Sea turtle watching cruise, including lunch. ウミガメウォッチングクルーズ、ランチ付

Reviewed by: hachi

In July, I participated in a turtle watching cruise tour that included lunch. In the morning, we relaxed at a sandbar, had lunch, watched the turtles, and then went snorkeling. There were people who spoke Japanese, so I was able to enjoy a fun time without worry.

However, there was no place to change, so I felt like I had to get on the bus while still wet. It might be a good idea to bring extra towels and be careful not to catch a cold on the bus.

7月にウミガメウォッチングクルーズランチ付のツアーに参加しました。
午前中は、サンドバーでのんびりし、ランチを挟んでウミガメを見て、その後シュノーケリングをしました。日本語を話せる人もいたし、安心して楽しい時間を過ごせました。

ただ、着替える場所がないため、帰りのバスは濡れたまま乗る感じでした。
多めにタオルをもって、バスの中で風邪をひかないよう気を付けたほうがいいかもしれません。

伝統ルアウ＆ハワイアンショー「ワイキキ・スターライト・ルアウ」フラ&ファイヤーダンスの本格ディナーショー　＜ヒルトン・ハワイアン・ビレッジ＞

The difference between the Golden Circle and regular seats. ゴールデンサークルと普通の席の差

Reviewed by: ER1

- It's close to the stage, but since it's just one table away, it's not that different.
- You can receive a lei made of fresh flowers.
- You can go get your food early during the meal.

So, honestly, a regular seat is perfectly fine. The food is the same. The show was absolutely wonderful.
I received a message that the meeting time is at 5 PM, but the doors open at 5 PM and the show starts around 6 or 7 PM, so I think it would be better to arrive a bit later to avoid the line at the entrance.

ーステージに近い、でもテーブル1個分なのでそんなに違わない
ー生の花のレイがもらえる
ー食事のとき早めに取りに行ける

なので、正直普通の席で問題ありません。食事も同じ。
ショーはとっても素晴らしかったです。
集合時間17時と連絡ありますが、開場が17時でショーは18時、19時くらいから始まるので
ちょっとずらしてきたほうが入口の行列に並ばなくてすむとおもいます。

ハンズ・ヒーデマン　サーフィンレッスン

It was fun! 楽しかったです！

Reviewed by: SAKURA

It was my first experience, and I was satisfied to be able to stand on the surfboard. Since it was a shallow area, two friends who accompanied me got injured on their feet by rocks when they fell off the board. I think the water depth varies with the tides, but I believe it's important to be cautious about injuries during the experience.

初めての体験でしたが、サーフボードに立つことができ満足です。水深が浅い場所での体験でしたので、同行した友人2人は、ボードから落ちた際、岩で足を怪我をしました。潮の満ち引きにより水深は違うと思いますが、体験の際は怪我には注意されると良いと思います。

Hawaii parasailing ハワイ　パラセイリング

Reviewed by: Chie Umemoto

I made a reservation for the very last time slot at 4 PM. My whole family was really looking forward to this during our trip, so we took motion sickness pills and were fully prepared. There was also an American family participating, and although I couldn't understand them well when they spoke quickly in English, they made sure to explain things clearly for us, which made me feel at ease. Since there were a lot of people, the waiting time was a bit long, but we had a wonderful experience. I definitely want to participate again.

一番最終の夕方4時を予約しました。家族全員、今回の旅行の中で一番楽しみにしていたので酔い止めを飲んで準備万端に。私たちの他にアメリカのファミリーが参加していて早口の英語でペラペラ喋られるとよく分からなかったけど、私たち向けにもちゃんと説明してくれたので安心して参加できました。人数が多かったので少し待ち時間が長かったけどすごく素敵な体験が出来ました。又、是非参加したいです。

Unfortunately, the weather is not great... あいにくのお天気・・・

Reviewed by: けいちゃん

This time, I checked the tide schedule in advance and made a reservation.

On the day of the trip, unfortunately, the weather was terrible with heavy rain... We boarded the boat and first went to see the sea turtles. The sandbar we saw on the way to see the sea turtles was very beautiful. We were able to see several sea turtles, which was great.

After that, we headed to the sandbar... Huh?? The part of the sandbar that was above the water was much narrower than what we saw on the way to see the turtles??? While we were looking at the sea turtles, the tide came in over time, and we couldn't see the sandbar as much as we had hoped. On top of that, the weather was unfortunate...

I checked the tide schedule and chose a day with a big tide, but I learned that the timing of low tide is also very important. I hope there will be a day when I can try again.

今回、予め潮順をみて申込みました。

当日は、あいにくのお天気でどしゃぶり・・・
船に乗り、最初にウミガメを見に行きました。
ウミガメを見に行く際に見えたサンドバーは、とても綺麗に見えました。
ウミガメは、何匹も見えてとても良かったです。

その後、サンドバーへ。。。
あれれ？？カメを見に行く途中に見えたサンドバーよりもかなり海面に出ている部分が狭くなっている？？？
ウミガメを先に見に行っている間に、時間の経過とともに潮が満ちてきて思っていたほどのサンドバーを見ることができませんでした。
そのうえあいにくのお天気・・・

潮順を見て、大潮の日を選んで申し込みましたが、やはり干潮の時間もとても大事なことを知りました。
いつかまたリベンジできる日があるといいです。

It was wonderful! 素敵でした！

Reviewed by: ぷぷちゃん

Sea turtle watching, going down to the sea for photo time, returning to the boat once to put on snorkeling gear, and heading back to the sea again. We had plenty of time and really enjoyed it. I had checked the low tide times on the website, so everything was perfect. When we were leaving, the afternoon tour group was arriving, but the sandy beach had already sunk, so I think it's essential to check the tide schedule before booking! We saw a lot of fish, and my husband was very satisfied. I only used a digital camera on the boat and took photos with my iPhone covered. Many people were without cameras on the water, but the scenery is so beautiful that I think it's worth bringing one. You can't press the shutter underwater, but I was able to capture a lot of fish on video. Tips are not forcibly requested; I think a small amount is fine. We were able to return to the hotel by 11:30, so we made good use of our time. I definitely want to recommend this to my friends!

海亀ウォッチング、海へ降りて写真タイム、1度船へ戻りシュノーケリング装着してもう1度海へ。

サイトで干潮時間も調べていたのでバッチリでした。
帰る時、午後のツアーの方が来られていましたが、もう砂浜は沈んでしまっていたので、申込前に必ず満ち引きを調べた方がいいと思います！
魚もたくさん見れて、旦那も大満足でした。
デジカメは船上だけにして、iPhoneカバーつけて写真撮影しました。
水上ではカメラ無しの方も多かったですが、本当に景色が綺麗なのでぜひ用意した方がいいと思います。
水中はシャッターが押せませんが、ムービーでたくさん魚を撮影できました☆
チップは無理に要求もされません。気持ち程度で大丈夫だと思います。
しっかり11:30にホテルに戻れたので時間も有効活用できました。

Reviewed by: N.I

This was my first time parasailing, and it felt amazing and wasn't scary at all. Actually, I'm not good with heights. A friend who loves Hawaii said it wasn't scary, so I decided to give it a try! In the end, I'm glad I participated. We took a shuttle to the boat dock and boarded with 11 people on one boat. It had been raining since the morning, but it stopped when we went out to sea, so we were lucky. However, there was some wind, so it was a bit bumpy.

I took motion sickness medication, so my daughter and I were fine, but my husband and son weren't feeling great. They said if we had stayed on any longer, it would have been tough. But the whole family agreed it was a great experience. We also bought photos for $30, which made for wonderful memories! The instructors were friendly, and we had a lot of fun.

今回、初パラセーリングでしたが、とても気持ち良かったし、怖くなかったです。実は私、高い所が苦手です。ハワイ好きの友人が、怖くないから！と言うのでチャレンジ！結果、参加して良かったです。送迎トローリーに乗りボート乗り場まで行き、11人で一隻に同乗しました。当日は朝から雨が降っていたのですが、沖へ出た時には止んでいたのでラッキーでしたが、風があったので、結構揺れた方？
酔い止めを飲んで行ったので、私と娘は大丈夫でしたが、主人と息子がイマイチ。。あれ以上長く乗っていたら、キツかったと言ってました。でも家族全員がやって良かったと言ってました。写真も30ドルで購入して、ホントに良い思い出です！インストラクターの方々も感じ良く、楽しかったです。

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＞

I was thrilled to see the dolphins! イルカに感激！

Reviewed by: さみー

I participated at the beginning of July! The sea was clear that day, and I was overwhelmed with joy as I encountered dolphins multiple times! The Hawaiian staff were friendly, and I had a great time.

However, one thing I was dissatisfied with was the photos. There was a dedicated photographer on the boat who took most of the pictures (since we had to store valuables below deck to avoid getting them wet). Because of that, we didn't take any photos ourselves, thinking we could purchase them later. However, just before the tour ended... all the photos were bundled together for a total of $65! What?! That's way too expensive!!! It's almost half the cost of the tour. Most of the photos were probably unnecessary, and I couldn't justify spending that much (although quite a few people did buy them). It felt like a rip-off, and that was really disappointing since I ended up with almost no photos. If it weren't for that, I would have given it five stars.

7月頭に参加しました！
海がその日は澄んでいて、しかもイルカにも何度も巡り会えて感無量でした！ハワイアンのスタッフの方も気さくで、
楽しい時間を過ごせました。

ただ、一つ不満だったのが写真です。船の上では専属のカメラマンがいて、ほとんどの写真をカメラマンが収めてくれます(船の上では濡れるといけないのでデッキの下に貴重品等はしまいます)。そのため、自分たちで全然写真を撮っていなかったし、
あとで購入できるから…とばかり思っていました。しかし、ツアー終了間際…写真は全てセットになっていて全部で65ドル、
、！？？高すぎ！！！ツアー代金の半額近いですよね。きっと不要な写真がほとんどなのに、そんな金額掛けられませんでした(結構買ってる方いらっしゃいましたが)。ぼったくり感満載で、それだけが残念でした、手元に残った写真ほぼなしですからね。それさえなければ星５個でした。

I boarded the submarine expecting an underwater stroll in the waters of Hawaii, but to be honest, I was disappointed. The water was murky, making it hard to see, and my whole family got bored halfway through. Additionally, the commentary in Japanese was repetitive, which eventually made us feel sleepy. The father from the family next to us fell asleep partway through. I wish they had considered different diving spots when planning the tour.

It felt absolutely amazing!! 最高に気持ち良かったです！！

Reviewed by: Uすけ

It was the only tour I participated in on Oahu, and it was truly wonderful.

The tour trolley bus arrived a little earlier than the scheduled time at the meeting point. We were taken by a driver who spoke a bit of Japanese and was quite friendly, traveling mainly with other Japanese participants. Most of the staff were locals, and although their Japanese was limited, we were able to communicate.

After checking in, we waited a bit before moving to the boat. On the boat, there were other Japanese participants and a beautiful sister duo from California. We headed out to sea in perfect weather, and one by one, we went parasailing! We soared much higher than I had expected, and it felt amazing.

For an additional $30, the local staff would take photos of us with a DSLR from the boat. Everyone on our boat purchased this option. It seems that tips are also expected, but we only brought exactly $30 in cash, so that's all we could give (sorry!). Everyone else was tipping around $5.

They also captured beautiful scenery and videos, creating wonderful memories. One of the fellow participants, who was on their second trip, was flying with a waterproof camera and took photos from above, so I want to try that next time!

Basically, they drop you into the sea at the end, but if you say "dry please," it seems you can finish without getting wet. I highly recommend that everyone experience this!

North Shore, a rural town in Hawaii! ハワイの田舎街ノースショア！

Reviewed by: ホヌホヌ

We booked a North Shore free plan for just the two of us. While waiting at the meeting point near the Hilton Hawaiian Village where we were staying, a high-energy guy showed up in the morning. He immediately started cracking jokes typical of Japanese uncles, and since we had just participated in a tour where no Japanese was spoken until the day before, we were relieved to find that we could communicate easily in Japanese.

After picking up guests from other hotels, we set off for the North Shore with a total of about ten people! Throughout the ride, he kept up a machine-gun style of talking (laughs). He shared various things, from the latest trends in Waikiki to the sad history of Hawaii. Apparently, he had been an announcer until recently, so talking was his job. That made sense (laughs).

When he asked if we wanted to take a picture of that famous tree, which costs $3, we took a vote in the car and unanimously decided to pass, saying we weren't interested enough to pay $3. It was very nice that he not only followed the usual route but also listened to our preferences.

Upon arriving at the Dole Plantation, we lined up a bit to buy the classic soft serve. The pineapple flavor was rich and delicious! He also informed us that while there are several shrimp trucks, the ones here are not good, so we ended up going to the famous Macky's. It was incredibly tasty! Sparrows and colorful birds were friendly, and everyone was feeding them rice grains, creating a warm atmosphere.

Since there were also groups for the maze plan and horseback riding, we split off from them. We were on the free plan, so we were dropped off in the town of North Shore where Japanese wasn't spoken (laughs). Feeling a bit anxious, we enjoyed shopping at retro surf shops and other places. The rural side of Hawaii is lovely, quite different from the urban Waikiki.

We had to give up on Matsumoto Shave Ice due to the long line and lack of time. When I asked a kind lady how to get to a recommended beach in my broken English, she advised me, "The nearby beach is next to the harbor, so it's dirty. The beautiful Sunset Beach is a tough distance to walk to."

I regretted not having driven there, but it couldn't be helped. We waited for our cheerful driver and headed to the next destination, a beach where we could see sea turtles. We encountered two sea turtles. Our driver had warned us to stay quiet and not to get too close to avoid stressing them out, so we quietly took pictures with zoom. However, a Chinese tourist stood right in front of a turtle's face, and despite the sand getting on the turtle due to the unstable sand on the beach, they were loudly taking pictures, which was quite upsetting.

It seems that Chinese tourists are the same everywhere, and I find them difficult to deal with. Hawaii is focused on protecting endangered animals like sea turtles, and apparently, there’s a fine for getting closer than two meters. If they feel stressed, they won’t come back to bask on the beach, so those going in the future should be careful not to get too close.

After a fulfilling North Shore tour, the machine-gun talk continued on the way back to Waikiki, and I fell into a deep sleep with that as my lullaby. At first, I thought the free plan was a bit pricey at over $50, but considering the distance we would have had to travel by bus or car, I’m glad we chose the tour. The driver’s stories were sometimes tough to listen to, especially when he was bragging about his daughter, but otherwise, I learned a lot of interesting things and about Hawaii's history. Most importantly, he was friendly and approachable, which was great.

If I ever go to Hawaii again, I would love to visit the North Shore once more. It was a wonderful, nostalgic town that really made me feel good.

私達はドライバーさんに『ウミガメがいても、ストレスになるので騒いだり近寄ったりしないこと』と注意を受けていたので静かにズームで写真を撮るなか、中国人ツアー客がウミガメの顔面の前ギリギリに立ち、砂浜でバランスが悪いためウミガメの顔に砂がかかっていても気にせずギャーギャーと写真撮影をしていて気分を害す。
やはり中国人観光客はどこにいても同じで苦手だ。

ストレスかかるともうその浜には甲羅干ししに寄らなくなってしまうそうなので、これから行く方は近寄り過ぎないよう注意したほうがよさそう。
充実したノースショア観光を終えワイキキへ戻る車中でも、マシンガントークはとどまるところを知らず、それを子守歌代わりに深い眠りへ。
最初はフリープランで50$以上は高いかなぁと思っていたが、やはり行き帰りの距離を自力でバスや車で行くことを考えるとツアーにして良かったと思う。ドライバーさんのトークも、娘の自慢話が続いたときは興味がなく辛かったが、それ以外ではへぇ～知らなかった！と思うことやハワイの歴史も知れたし、何より気さくな方で親しみやすくて良かった。
またハワイにいくことがあれば、ノースショアにはもう一度いきたいなぁ。
ノスタルジックな気分に浸れる、素敵な素敵な街でした。

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＞

On our honeymoon. 新婚旅行にて

Reviewed by: TOMMY

The sandbar had great weather and was fantastic.
The tide was about 10 centimeters below my knees, so the beach didn't appear, but I was able to practice snorkeling, which was good.
The hamburger for lunch was incredibly delicious!!
They grilled the patty (probably from Costco) on the boat, and it was juicy and tasty.
I saw a decent amount of fish while snorkeling, and they were keeping a proper watch, so I had no concerns about safety.

サンドバーは天気も良く、最高でした。
潮位はちょうどひざ下10センチくらいだったので砂浜が現れることはなかったのですが、シュノーケリングの練習ができたので良かったです。
お昼のハンバーガーが激うま！！
パティ（多分コストコの）を船上で焼いてくれたのですが、ジューシーで美味しかったです。
シュノーケリングではまあまあお魚も見れたし、きちんと監視してくれてるので安全面にも不安はありませんでした。
