We were just about to stay at the Hilton, so we decided to join the Hilton departure, and it was really great. After a day of sightseeing and taking a break at the hotel, we went in the evening, and the sunset viewed over the waves was exceptional. The cruise while having a meal was the best. I felt like I understood a bit of what it’s like to be a yachtsman (^^). Being on the yacht with my family, watching the waves, created a sense of unity, and it felt like our hearts became closer to each other. It was a very meaningful time. Thank you very much.
私たちは、ちょうどヒルトンに宿泊予定だったので、ヒルトン出発というので参加してみましたが、とてもよかったです。
一日観光して、ホテルでひと息ついてから、夕方行きましたが、波の上で眺める夕日はまた格別で、食事を食べたりしながらのクルーズは最高でした。
ヨットマンの気持ちが少しわかった気がします(^^)
家族で一緒にヨット(船?)に乗って波を眺めていると一体感というか、心がお互いにもっと近くなったような気がします。
とても有意義な時間でした。ありがとうございました。

Since I came to Hawaii, I wanted to fully enjoy the ocean, so I signed up for this evening cruise, and it was even more fun than I expected! The Spirit of Aloha was a bit of a larger boat, but the ride was fantastic, and the splashes of the waves felt great. Watching the sunset with a drink in hand was truly beautiful, and I felt like time was slipping away too quickly. I wished time would stop!
It was really amazing! This is an experience you shouldn't miss.
ハワイに来たからには海を満喫したかったので、この夕方の乗船に申し込んだのですが、思った以上に楽しかったです!
スピリット・オブ・アロハ号はちょっと大きめのボートっていう感じでしたが、乗り心地はサイコーで、波しぶきが気持ちよかったです。
飲み物片手に眺めるサンセットが、本当にキレイで、時間が過ぎるのがもったいないくらいでした。時が止まってほしいくらい!
本当にサイコーでした!これは体験しないと勿体ないですね。

Three miles offshore. The depth is 40 to 50 meters!!
Looking down from the stopped boat, I saw a dark shadow...
Could it be already? As I strained my eyes and looked around again, I spotted not just one or two, but about ten sharks visible from the surface...
It was more awe-inspiring than scary.
I often saw the dorsal fins breaking the surface on TV, and it was exactly the same scene.
Now, into the cage!
I was astonished by the deep blue sea and the sharks.
I think I had a rare experience. It's a bit pricey, but it's worth it.
3mile先の沖合い。深さは40~50M !!
停止した船から下を除くと黒い影が…
まさかすでに?と目を凝らして再度辺りを見渡すと1匹、2匹ではなく、10匹くらいの鮫を海上から黙認。。。
怖いよりスゴイの感激でした。
よく背びれを海面に出す姿をTVなどで拝見していましたが、まさに同じ光景です。
いざ、おりの中へ!
真っ青な海と鮫に唖然でした。
レアな体験ができたと思います。少し高いですが、価値はありますよ。

When I arrived at the meeting time, I was informed that the departure would be delayed by an hour, so we ended up waiting around the hotel area. In the promotional photos, there was a large catamaran with blue sails from Outrigger, but the actual boat we boarded was a smaller catamaran with pink sails, and it felt more like a family cruise with three staff members and about ten participants.
It was disappointing that there were no life vests available and that fins couldn't be rented, which limited our snorkeling experience. However, it was great to see many turtles up close.
After that, we cruised about an hour offshore. The wind felt nice, and the color of the sea became increasingly vibrant and beautiful. We went as far as the lighthouse past Diamond Head. We took motion sickness medication, so we were fine, but the boat was quite rocky, and a few people got seasick. The staff was very kind and provided water and ice to those who were feeling unwell. Next time, I would like to join a tour that focuses solely on cruising.
当日集合時間に行くと、1時間遅れでの出発と案内され、ホテル周辺で時間をつぶしての出発となりました。イメージ写真では、アウトリガーの青い帆の大きい目のカタマランでしたが、実際に乗ったのは、ピンクの帆の小さめのカタマランで、スタップ3名と参加者は10名程度で家族クルーズのような小さいツアーとなりました。
ライフベストがなかったこと、足ひれがレンタルできないので思いっきりシュノーケルできないのは残念でした。ただ、たくさんのカメが近くで見れたのは良かったです。
その後は、1時間ほど沖までクルージングでした。風が気持よく、海の色がどんどん濃くなりとてもきれいでした。ダイアモンドヘッド先の灯台あたりまで行きました。私たちは酔い止めを飲んでいて大丈夫でしたが、揺れがすごくて数人の方が船酔いでダウンされていました。スタッフの対応はとても親切で体調の悪い方には、水や氷を渡したりされていました。次回は、クルージングのみのツアーに参加してみたいです。

I found this site before my trip, and it looked interesting, so I made a reservation and participated.
I had heard beforehand that there wouldn't be any Japanese participants, but I thought it would be fine and went without hesitation, only to find that we were indeed the only Japanese people there.
However, since everyone was just travelers from different places, we all got along well and enjoyed ourselves without much concern.
Personally, I can hardly speak English, but the staff member was friendly and nice, so I thoroughly enjoyed both the cruising and snorkeling!
The snorkeling spot was off the coast of Waikiki, about 10 meters deep, and there were plenty of fish and sea turtles.
I brought a waterproof digital camera, but I struggled to take good pictures of the sea turtles swimming nearby. Fortunately, a crew member who looked like a dolphin took some really beautiful photos for me.
There were no fins available for rent, just masks and snorkels, and swimming was limited to around the yacht, so it might not be enough for those who are into diving, but beginners can definitely have a great time (which was the case for my wife and me). Everyone participating was in the same boat.
After that, we enjoyed cruising while sailing back to Waikiki, heading towards Diamond Head.
This trip created unforgettable and enjoyable memories.
Since we finished around 10 AM, it was easy to plan our next activities.
I believe breakfast snacks were supposed to be included in the package, but we didn't quite understand the system and missed out. After we got back, we changed at the hotel and had breakfast (or maybe it was brunch?) at Island Vintage Cafe in the Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center, enjoying acai bowls before heading out to Kailua.
You might want to double-check about breakfast???
Also, there are several Outrigger Hotels in Waikiki, so make sure not to confuse the meeting location... (we made that mistake).
Anyway, it was a fantastic time, and I highly recommend it!
旅行前にこのサイトで知って、面白そうなので予約して参加しました。
事前情報で、日本人の参加者がいないって聞いていたものの、なんとかなるかな~と思って、ためらわず行ってみたら、本当に日本人は僕たちだけでした。
しかし、まあ所詮みんないろんなとこからやってきた旅行者同士の似たもの同士なので、あんま気兼ねなく思い思いに楽しんでいます。
個人的に英語はほとんど喋れないけれど、スタッフの兄ちゃんが気さくでいい人だったので、クルージングとシュノーケリングともに満喫させていただきました!!
シュノーケリングのポイントはワイキキの沖、水深10mくらいで、魚や海亀がいっぱいいました。
防水デジカメ持参で行ったのですが、近くで泳ぐ海亀をなかなかうまく写真に収められず苦戦してたら、クリューのイルカみたいな兄ちゃんがすごく綺麗に撮ってくれました。
フィンのレンタルはなく、マスク、シュノーケルのみのレンタルでヨットの周りのみの遊泳なので、ダイビングやっている人には物足りないかもしれませんが、初心者でも十分楽しめます。(まさに今回の自分と妻がそうでした。まあ、参加している人みんな一緒です。)
その後はダイヤモンドヘッド沖まで帆走でクルージングを楽しみつつワイキキに戻りました。
今回の旅行の忘れられない楽しい思い出です。
午前10時上がりなので、その後の予定も組みやすいです。
パックに軽食の朝ごはんが付いているはずだったのですが、僕らはシステムがよくわからず食いそびれたので、上がった後、ホテルで着替えて、ロイヤルハワイアンショッピングセンターのアイランドビンテージカフェでアサイボウルで朝食(?)を済ませて、カイルアに遊びに行きました。
朝食のとこは要確認かも???
あと、アウトリガーホテルはワイキキに何箇所かあるので、集合場所は間違えなきよう。。。。(うちは間違えた)
ともあれ、最高のひと時でした、かなりお勧めですよ!!

To be honest, I wasn't very enthusiastic about it, but I participated in the Dolphin Adventure to accompany my friend. In reality, I had a lot of fun during the program.
● I couldn't understand English, but I managed to get by by watching others. ● The program started at 9:30, and by the time we finished showering and changing, it was already 11:00. ● Lockers with keys can be rented for $2. ● DVDs are sold for $50, and photos for $16. ● I think it would be quite tough to spend time until the afternoon pickup (2:30) if you join the morning program. We took a bus back to Waikiki just after 1:00. *Make sure to inform the driver in advance.
I felt the cost performance was a bit lacking, but considering the training and effort involved with the dolphins, I guess it's understandable.
正直なところ、あまり気乗りしなかったのですが、連れにつきあうということでドルフィンアドベンチャーに参加しました。実際、プログラム中はとても楽しく過ごせました。
●英語が理解できませんでしたが、見よう見まねでなんとかなりました。●9時半からのプログラムで、シャワーや着替えを終えると11時になっていました。●鍵付きロッカーは2ドルで借りられます。●DVDは50ドル、写真は16ドルで販売されています。●午前中のプログラムですと、午後のお迎え(2時半)まで過ごすのはかなりきついと思います。自分達は、13時過ぎのバスに乗って、ワイキキまで戻りました。※事前にドライバーさんに言っておきましょう。
コストパフォーマンスは、悪い気もしましたが、イルカの調教や手間のことを考えると、仕方がないかなと思います。

No Japanese was understood at all.
The snorkeling time is about one hour.
There were no life jackets available for rent.
You can borrow something like a long tube.
On the way there, we saw a turtle, and on the way back, we saw dolphins.
I think it's good for those who understand English and are good at swimming.

We headed out to the shark cage at 7:30 am and sadly no sharks. The crew was as disappointed as we were and let us know that if we didn't have a shark experience they would reschedule us or refund our money. Lucky for us there was a cancellation on a boat later that morning - so we headed out again - and we were not disappointed. 5 - 6 sharks circled the cage the entire time we were on the water. Nothing like looking a shark in the eye! Fabulous time and would recommend it to anyone wanting to have an up close and personal experience with a shark(s).

I experienced parasailing for the first time with my elementary school daughter. The wind was quite strong that day, so we swayed like a swing and didn't have much opportunity to enjoy the scenery. My daughter said she enjoyed the speed of the boat going out to sea more than the parasailing itself. We also took a photo of her splashing into the cold sea up to her waist, which became a nice memory. I paid $20 for the film and chips.

I participated in Royal Swim with my 8-year-old daughter. The instructions are in English, but as long as you watch the person in front of you, there are no problems. I was worried because I read that it can be difficult for children with small feet, but my daughter was praised by the trainer after she managed to get her knees above the water, so she was in a great mood. It seems that the trick is to apply pressure with the soles of your feet towards the front. We had a wonderful experience swimming with the adorable dolphins.

The day we went the waves were choppy and it caused a little sea sickness for a couple of us but other than that we had an outstanding time.Our group had teens, 20's, 40's and 50's.

-that it was short and to the point
-the food was better than any other luau we have been to

-We paid extra to sit in the front and one of our kids got picked to go up on stage and be in a competition.
-It really was a family luau. People weren't drunk and the dancers didn't do anything embarrassing
-We didn't love:
-The chairs were cheap, weak, and wobbly.
-The family next to us was so close we had to touch arms and legs to scoot our chairs in
-We felt packed in like a herd of cows waiting for a buffet
-the drink ticket system is poorly run. My kids had water and they were asked for a drink ticket. They only had a short list of about 5 drinks and they would not make virgin drinks.

We reluctantly participated at the children's request. Perhaps because it was fully booked with a capacity of 12 people, our family of three was sent up all at once. I was worried about exceeding the weight limit, but it turned out to be fine. The parasailing was fun, but since we were sent up in a sort of assembly line manner, I had some doubts about whether this is how it usually is... It's important to check the time slots for reservations.

I participated with my husband and mother-in-law. Since we were off the coast of Waikiki, I wasn't expecting much, but it was better than I imagined. First of all, taking a boat to Waikiki is great. The view of Waikiki from the sea is amazing. We were also able to see turtles underwater. One issue, though, is that after coming up from the submarine, the boat sways quite a bit, and it can make you feel seasick. It might be a good idea to take some motion sickness medication.

ワイキキ沖ですから、たいして期待していなかったのですが、想像以上によかったですよ。
まずワイキキ沖にボートで行くのがよい。海から見るワイキキは最高です。そして海中では亀を見ることができました。ただ一点問題は、潜水艦からあがったあと、沖合の船上がゆれて結構酔います。酔い止め飲んだ方がいいかもしれません。

I sank a cage offshore and jumped in... At first, I was anxious, but if you try, you can do it! It was September, but the water temperature was a bit low. Also, since the waves were rough offshore, it might be better not to eat too much before participating. Two out of six people got seasick.
Still, it was an invaluable experience. After returning home, my PC crashed, and I lost the photos of the sharks, which made me weep. I want to participate again.
沖合に檻を沈めてそこにどぼん、、、最初は不安でしたがなせばなる!9月でしたが水温は若干低め。あと沖合で波が荒いので、参加する前にはあまりものを食べすぎない方がいいかも。酔ってはいた人2人/6人。

This was the most fun we had on Oahu. Captain Dave and Crewman Chris are very professional, knowledgeable and entertaining. We felt safe in their capable hands...which was especially important, given the fact that this is an incredibly thrilling activity! Sooooo scary....being in the water, surrounded by numerous sharks of varying size (basically bigger than you, and much faster too!) certainly makes the adrenaline pump!
We bought the DVD of our experience, and we appreciate the fact that it is your choice to have your experience taped or not, and is therefore more personal and not 'pushed' at you for purchase. Just got home last night, and immediately watched it!
We recommend this activity to all but the faint of heart!

I participated with my grandparents and my parents, making a group of five. Since the venue was the same as our hotel, the Hilton, it was very easy to join.
The explanations from the show’s host were all in English, so I was a bit confused about the buffet details and how to order drinks, but it wasn't a major issue, and I was able to enjoy myself. The show itself was enjoyable even without understanding English, and I think you can really feel the atmosphere of enjoying a show and dinner in Hawaii. The food was delicious, and although there was a line at the buffet at first, it became less crowded after everyone got their food, making it easy to go back for seconds.
I also thought it would have been better to have a bit more detailed information about the meeting place and ticket exchange upon arrival. Even when I managed to get to the designated meeting spot, there was no specific guidance for Alan1, and everyone started walking to the venue, so I just followed along and ended up lining up at the ticket exchange window... I felt a bit anxious until it all started. In the end, I was able to participate properly, so that was good.
祖父母と親子の5人で参加しました。
ちょうど会場が宿泊ホテルのヒルトンと同じだったので、とても気軽に参加できました。
ショーの司会の説明などはすべて英語だったので、ビッフェ形式の説明やドリンクの注文の仕方など少し戸惑いましたが、どうしようもないくらい困ることも無く、楽しむことができました。
ショー自体は英語が分からなくても十二分に楽しめる内容で、ハワイでショー&ディナーを楽しむという雰囲気は感じられると思います。食事も美味しかったですし、ビッフェは最初は行列が出来ましたが、一通り取り終わるとガラガラでお代わりも行きやすかったです。
あと、現地での集合場所や参加時のチケット引換などについて、もう少し詳しく説明があれば良かったと思いました。
指定された集合場所に何とか着いても特にAlan1としての案内は無く、みんながゾロゾロ会場に歩き出すのでなんとなく付いて行って、なんとなくチケット交換窓口に並んで・・・といった感じで始まるまで少し不安でした。結果としてはちゃんと参加できたのでよかったですが・・・。
