The bus from the hotel to the site is average. The driver provided information for the return trip when we got off. He gave the announcements in English and Kansai dialect (laughs).
The boat has a toilet. I had to hold it in a lot during the manta tour on the Big Island, so this was a big help!
There are plenty of drinks available on board, even miso soup! There are also a lot of snacks. Only one rice ball per person, though.
During the initial snorkeling for those who wanted to participate, the crew guided us. They scattered food, so there were tons of fish. I saw more than ten turtles swimming around.
After that, we did stand-up paddleboarding. They told us to enjoy it until the last minute, so we played until just before heading back!
Most of the crew spoke fluent Japanese. There were also people with babies.
ホテルから現地までのバスは普通。
降りる時に運転手さんが帰りの案内してくれます。
英語と関西弁で案内してくれました(笑)
船にトイレついてます。
ハワイ島のマンタツアーはトイレめちゃくちゃ我慢したので、とても助かりました!
船内には飲み物も充実。お味噌汁まで!
スナックもめちゃくちゃあります。
おにぎりだけ、1人1個まで。
最初の希望者のシュノーケリングでは、クルーの方が案内してくれます。
餌を撒いてくれるので、めちゃくちゃ魚がいます。亀は10匹以上泳いでました。

I had the best time.
I feel it was worth more than the price.
The boat departed almost on time. We encountered a pod of dolphins along the way and were able to see them swimming alongside us and jumping. I was surprised and moved because I thought we would only be watching the sunset!
After about an hour of sailing, we arrived at the swimming spot. About half of the people were diving into the sea from the boat, excitedly saying, "I've been waiting for this!" while the other half enjoyed a leisurely time watching those swimming from the boat. Swimming is not mandatory, so either option is fine, but I recommend swimming since you're there!!!
You can wear a life jacket or use a float (available for rent) when going into the sea. Several staff members are watching closely, and there is a lifeguard on board, so it's safe.
The swimming time is about 20 minutes.
When we got out of the water, the sun started to set, and it got a bit chilly, so I think it's better to have something to wear.
Also, there are no beach towels on the boat, so you'll need to borrow one from your hotel and bring it with you!
Diamond Head, the streets of Waikiki, and the sunset created unforgettable scenery.
The staff were very friendly, chatting with us and asking if we wanted photos taken, providing excellent service.
It was about a two-hour experience, and since we were all together, we talked and got to know each other well.
The sunset view was of course perfect, and everything else was very satisfying. I would love to participate again when I come back to Honolulu!
最高の時間を過ごすことができました。
お値段以上の価値があると感じます。
ボートはほぼ時間ぴったりに出発。途中でイルカの群れと遭遇し、並泳やジャンプを見ることができました。サンセットを見るだけだと思っていたので、これにはとても驚き感動しました!
約1時間ほど航行したところで、スイミングスポットへ到着。半分くらいの人は「待ってました!」という感じで船から海へダイブして泳ぎ、その他半分は船の上で泳ぐ人を眺めてゆったりとした時間を過ごしていました。泳ぐのは強制ではないので、どちらでも大丈夫ですがせっかくなので泳ぐのがおすすめ!!!
ライフジャケットまたは浮き輪(借りられます)を付けて海へ。スタッフ数名がしっかり見ていてくれるし、ライフセーバーさんも同乗しているので安心です。
スイミングタイムは約20分ほど。
海から上がると日が沈み始め、寒くなってくるので羽織るものがあった方が良いと思います。
またビーチタオルは船内には無いので、ホテルから借り持参が必要です!
ダイヤモンドヘッド、ワイキキの街並み、サンセット。忘れられない景色になりました。
スタッフの方々もとてもフレンドリーで、話しかけてくれたり、写真撮りますか?と声をかけてくれたり素晴らしいサービスでした。
約2時間の体験でしたが、他の乗船客ともずっと一緒なので色々とお話をしたり仲良くなりました。
サンセットの景色はもちろん満点、その他も大満足です。またホノルルに来た際は、参加したいと思います!
Bring your own beach towel. If you're planning to swim, it's recommended to wear your swimsuit under your clothes. It can get cold later, so having a jacket or sweatshirt would be good!
ビーチタオルは持参。泳ぐ方は洋服の下に予め水着を着てくることがおすすめ。後半は寒くなるので上着やスウェットがあるといいです!

The boat and sandbar experience was 10/10! I highly highly recommend it to anyone thinking of doing it. We also paid an extra $20 USD per person for a banana boat ride and that was probably the highlight of the experience. It was SO FUN! The staff was incredible and so nice and fun. There was standup paddle boarding, kayaking, floating lounge chairs, snorkeling, live music, and drinks available for purchase (juice and water were free though). Such a fun time and the highlight of my trip.
Bring your own lunch (we brought sandwiches) and ate them on the floating couches on the sandbar.

From the bus boarding location to our return, I felt the staff's hospitality and attentiveness were truly wonderful! We had a window seat on the third floor, which allowed us to enjoy a fantastic 360-degree view, and the observation deck was also amazing! The food had a Hawaiian touch, and the lobster was good, but peeling it myself was fun and made my hands sticky. I didn't expect there to be a line for the women's restroom.
The dancers' performances in the second half were incredible, and the boat dance where all the staff and customers stood up was absolutely the best! I was worried about the weather for this tour, but the sunset, dolphins, the view of Waikiki from the sea, the dance, the food, and the hospitality made it the right choice.
集合場所のバス乗車から帰るまで 大変気持ちよくスタッフのおもてなしと気配りが感じました! 3階の窓際席でしたので360度素晴らしいロケーションを味わえ 展望デッキからも最高でした!食事もハワイらしさもありロブスターもgoodでしたが、自分で殻を剥く楽しさ➕手がベタベタになり 女性トイレは列を作ったのは想定外でした
後半ダンサー達の素晴らしいダンス スタッフとお客様全員でスタンドアップしての船上ダンスは心から最高!!でした

A special show that can only be experienced in Hawaii! The storyline beautifully weaves in Hawaii's traditions and culture, touching my heart. It's not just about enjoying the acrobatic movements; I was moved by the beauty of the stories and messages embedded within. I didn't want to take my eyes off it for a moment, and before I knew it, I was leaning forward, completely immersed in the world of the show.
Additionally, the small venue was a great aspect. The intensity and immediacy of the performance were conveyed directly, and at times, I could even feel the performers' tension and breath. That closeness gave me the sensation of being part of the show.
There was also entertainment that involved the audience, making it a delight to experience the show as one with the performers!
The perspective from my seat (Category 3) was wonderful, but I think there would be different discoveries from another seat. The moment the show ended, I thought to myself, "I want to see it again!"
ハワイでしか体験できない特別なショー!ハワイの伝統や文化が美しく織り込まれたストーリーラインには心を打たれ、ただアクロバティックな動きを楽しむだけでなく、そこに込められた物語やメッセージの美しさに感動。一瞬たりとも目を離したくなくて、気づけば前のめりになり、ショーの世界にどっぷりと浸っていました。
また、会場が小規模であることも良かった。パフォーマンスの迫力や臨場感がダイレクトに伝わり、時にはパフォーマーたちの緊張感や息遣いまでも感じられるほど。その距離感が、まるで自分がショーの一部になったような感覚を味わせてくれました。
観客を巻き込むエンターテインメントもあり、観客とショーが一体化して楽しめるのも魅力!
今回観た席(カテゴリー3)からの視点も素晴らしかったですが、別の席から観たらまた違う発見があるのではないかと思います。ショーが終わった瞬間、また観たい!と思いました。
Even if you've seen it once, you can experience new emotions by watching it from a different seat. It's a show that you can enjoy over and over again!
一度観た人でも、別の席から観ることで新しい感動を味わえる、何度でも楽しめるショーです!

This time, I participated in the backstage tour and buffet & show course! During the backstage tour, I got to hold the actual props used by the performers, see the glamorous costumes up close, and learn about the workings of the stage entrances—experiences that are usually not visible. Standing on the stage made me feel like a movie star! Knowing the behind-the-scenes details really heightened my anticipation for the show.
The buffet afterwards featured a variety of dishes made with local Hawaiian ingredients, allowing me to experience Hawaii through food. There were performances like hula dancing during the meal, which was a delightful touch!
The main show was moving! It was a truly special performance that blended traditional hula and fire dancing with modern entertainment. Every performance was professional, and I was overwhelmed by the speed of the costume changes and the energy put into the acts. Having seen the backstage, I could enjoy the show while imagining, "They must be changing costumes over there right now," which made it a unique experience.
What stood out the most were the large screens set up at the front and sides of the venue displaying historical footage. Watching actual clips of Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson while enjoying the performances gave me a strange sensation, as if I had time-traveled. I felt that this production added depth to the show and was a wonderful way to engage the audience further.
The most surprising part was the "Moana" scene! Although it was a limited-time feature, I was extremely excited. The performance synchronized with the scenes from Moana on the screen was so much fun, captivating both children and adults alike. The kids sitting in front of me were thrilled, which warmed my heart.
Rokafura is enjoyable for both adults and children! The buffet is delicious, so if you want to experience the essence of Hawaii, you absolutely should participate!
今回、バックステージツアーとビュッフェ&ショーのコースに参加!
バックステージツアーでは、実際にパフォーマーが使う装飾品を手に取ったり、華やかな衣装を間近で見たり、ステージの出入り口の仕組みを教えてもらったりと、普段は見られない裏側を体。ステージに立ってみると、まるで女優になった気分!裏側を知ることで、ショーへの期待感が一気に高まりました。
その後のビュッフェでは、ハワイならではの素材を使ったメニューが豊富で、食事を通してハワイを感じることができました。食事中にはフラダンスなどのパフォーマンスがあり、盛り上げてくれるのも嬉しいポイント!
メインのショーは、感動!
伝統的なフラダンスやファイヤーダンスと、現代的なエンターテインメントが融合した、まさに特別なパフォーマンス。どのパフォーマンスもプロフェッショナルで、衣装チェンジの速さや、全力で演じるエネルギーに圧倒。バックステージを見ていたからこそ、「今あそこで着替えているんだろうな」と想像しながら楽しめたのも、特別な体験でした。
特に印象的だったのは、会場の正面と左右に設置された特大スクリーンに映し出される歴史的映像。エルビスプレスリーやマイケル・ジャクソンの実際の映像を見ながらパフォーマンスを楽しむことで、まるでタイムスリップしたような不思議な感覚に。
ショーに深みを与えるこの演出は、観客をさらに引き込む素晴らしい工夫だと感じました。

This trip included the most special experience! I participated in the 3-star window seating, enjoying luxurious views, meals, and live performances from the upper deck of the ship.
The premium drinks included in the ticket featured colorful and cute Hawaiian options like Mai Tai, Blue Hawaiian, and Lava Flow. They were all delicious and perfect for photos!
What impressed me the most was the hospitality of the staff. They carefully explained the types of drinks and kindly taught us how to eat lobster, showing their attention to detail throughout. It felt like receiving Japanese-style service, which made me feel relaxed and comfortable. The menu also had Japanese translations, which is a great point for those who are not confident in English.
Additionally, we had access to the rooftop deck at any time during the cruise, allowing us to take photos or relax at our own pace. The staff informed us when it was sunset time, so we could enjoy the beautiful sunset at the perfect moment.
In the latter part of the cruise, there was an authentic Hawaiian dance performance that I couldn't take my eyes off! At the end, familiar songs like YMCA played, and everyone on board, including the staff, joined in the fun. It was a delightful Hawaiian atmosphere.
This experience is perfect for creating memories with family and loved ones! I highly recommend this sunset cruise as a special moment during your trip to Hawaii! I hope to participate in the 5-star experience someday.

There are three slides for small children, but one has been closed for some reason for a week. The other one is for one person, so my child was too scared to ride it alone, and the last one was closed when we went. I thought it wasn't operating, but I was informed by a staff member just before closing time that it would open at 2 PM, even though it was supposed to be open until 3 PM. Unfortunately, we couldn't make it in time, and my child ended up crying because we were looking forward to it but couldn't ride any of them. I also saw other children who couldn't ride and were crying while their mothers were comforting them. We have a reservation to go again during our stay, but since it's within a week, I don't think we'll be able to ride them. If the schedule could be communicated on the website in advance, it would help us bring our child after explaining the situation, minimizing disappointment. Given the high expectations, I think the shock of this situation is significant for children. 😢 Lunch took a long time to be served unless you lined up early. Even though there were few visitors the other day, it still took a long time for some reason. 😥
小さい子ども用のスライダーが3つ有るのですが1つがなぜか1週間閉鎖との事。他の1つは1人用なので1人では怖がって乗れず、もう1つは行った際には閉鎖していたのでやっていないかと思っていたら3時までの営業なのに、なぜか2時まで閉鎖していて2時からオープンしていたと閉園時間の直前にスタッフの方から教えて頂いたのですが結局間に合わず楽しみにしていたのにどれも乗れずじまいで子供が泣いちゃいました。よそのお子さんもやっぱり乗れなくて泣いていてお母さんがなだめているのを見かけました。滞在中にもう一度行く予定で予約していますが1週間以内なのでおそらく乗れないと思います。事前にその辺のスケジュールをホームページでお知らせ頂ければ子供を納得させた上で連れて行けるのでガッカリも最小限に抑える事が出来るのになと思いました。楽しみが大きい分、その辺のショックは子供にとっては大きいと思いました😢ランチは早めに並ばないと提供にメチャクチヤ時間がかかりました。先日も来園者は少なかったのになんでかとにかく時間がかかりました。😥

The receptionist spoke a little Japanese, but the crew on the boat communicated entirely in English. My English skills are only sufficient to understand simple phrases, but since they demonstrated how to use the snorkeling equipment, there were no particular issues as long as I paid attention. There were no other Japanese participants, but it felt like an overseas trip, which was nice!
When boarding the boat, you need to take off your sandals and shake off the sand from your feet. You sit in your seat and wait until you reach the snorkeling point. Once the crew is ready, everyone enters the water one by one. They apply anti-fog solution to the snorkeling mask, and after rubbing it in with your hands, you dip it in a bucket of water before putting it on. Just before entering the water, you put on your fins, and off you go into the sea!
You swim a little away from the boat to reach the watching point. As you swim, you see plenty of fish. I was surprised at how many there were! When a turtle appeared, the crew would call out, "Turtle!!" and let us know. We all gathered around, watching without getting too close. I was able to see the turtle both underwater and when it came up for air. So cute!
Many other boats were also there for turtle watching, so it might be helpful to keep an eye out for people wearing the same life jackets as you or to listen for the call of "Holokai!" to stay together and feel secure.
Looking at past reviews, it seems that the shape of the life jackets and floats might vary depending on when you participate. When we joined, we had life jackets that you inflate yourself. I recommend inflating them fully. Since the back of the jacket doesn't have any buoyancy, it might feel a bit scary if you're not used to swimming. My partner was also new to snorkeling and being in water where he couldn't touch the bottom, so he seemed quite fearful and stayed close to the boat while snorkeling. The crew informed us from the boat that there was a turtle, so we were able to enjoy turtle watching safely.
After snorkeling, we relaxed on the boat for about an hour. We were feeling a bit seasick, so we couldn't eat, but snacks were available for everyone else. The crew noticed we looked unwell and kindly asked if we were okay, applying lavender oil to our wrists, which is said to help with seasickness. I appreciated their kindness.
Although I felt a bit seasick towards the end, the breeze and sunshine on the boat were very pleasant, and I was able to see many fish and cute turtles. I think it was a wonderful experience that I wouldn't have had otherwise!
受付のお姉さんは少し日本語を話してくれましたが、船上クルーの方はずっと英語でした。簡単な英語が聞き取れる程度の英語力しかありませんが、シュノーケリング用具の説明は実演してくれたので、しっかり見ていれば特に問題はなかったです。
日本人の参加者は他にいませんでしたが、海外旅行を感じられたのでそれも良し!
船に乗り込むときはサンダルを脱ぎ、足についた砂を落として乗り込みます。
椅子に座ってシュノーケリングポイントにつくまで待機。クルーの方の準備が完了したら、順々に海に入っていきます。
シュノーケリングマスクに曇り止め?を付けてもらい手で塗り込んだら、バケツのお水に一度つけてから装着。
海に入る直前にフィンをつけて、さあ海の中へ!
船から少し離れて、泳いでウォッチングポイントへ移動します。
泳いでいるとお魚はたくさん目に入ります。こんなにいるのか!とびっくり。
タートルが現れたときは「タートーーール!!」とクルーの方が声がけして教えてくれます。みんなで丸く囲みながら、近寄らずにウォッチング。
私は、海中にいる時と海上に呼吸をしに来た時の姿を拝むことができました。かわいいな〜
他の船もたくさんタートルウォッチングに来ているので、自分と同じライフジャケットをしている人を見逃さないようにしたり、「ホロカ〜イ!」という声がけに耳を澄ませておくと、逸れずに安心かもしれません。
過去レビューの写真を見たところ、参加タイミングによりライフジャケットや浮きの形が違うのかも? 私たちが参加した際は、自分で空気を吹き込んで膨らませるライフジャケットでした。しっかりと膨らませることをおすすめします。
背中側に浮きがない形なので、もしかしたら泳ぎ慣れていないと少し怖いのかもしれません。私のパートナーはシュノーケリングも初、足の付かない水中も初だったこともあり恐怖感がとても強かったようで、船からはあまり離れずシュノーケリングをしていました。
クルーの方が船の上から「カメいるよ〜」と教えてくれたようで、無事にタートルウォッチングはできたようです。
シュノーケリングが終わった後は1時間ほど、船上でゆっくり。
私たちは船酔い気味だったので食べられませんでしたが、スナックは自由にいただけたようで、みなさん召し上がっていました。
クルーの方は我々の具合の悪そうな様子を見て、大丈夫?と声をかけてくれ、酔いに効くらしいラベンダーオイルを手首に付けてくれました。優しさに感謝。
終盤船酔い気味ではありましたが、船上で感じる風や陽射しはとても気持ちが良く、たくさんのお魚やかわいいホヌも見ることができ、なかなかできない良い体験ができたなと思っています!
Don't forget to bring a towel to dry off after snorkeling! I also recommend preparing some motion sickness medication. Additionally, don't forget sun protection. While sitting on the boat, I got quite

The service and explanations provided by all the staff were excellent, as they spoke with each customer individually to understand their needs and desires until we disembarked. It was very reassuring to have a Japanese female staff member who could communicate in Japanese. The lunch burgers and drinks were good! After that, the sea turtle watching was well-timed and satisfying! Unfortunately, the snorkeling included with the coral reef watching was affected by sudden rain, bad weather, and cold temperatures, but there was still plenty of time for watching, and the hot drinks provided on board afterward were great. I was initially worried about language barriers with the multinational group on the small boat, but all the staff made it enjoyable! Choosing this tour was definitely the right decision!
スタッフ全員の接客と説明、お客様1人ずつと話をして船を降りる時まで何が欲しいのか 何をしたいのか等 細やかなサービスは最高でした!日本人女性のスタッフが日本語で対応していただけたのもとても安心できました。ランチのハンバーガーと飲み物もgood!その後 海亀ウォッチングもgood timingで満足!残念ながらシュノーケリングを付けての珊瑚礁ウォッチングでは突然のシャワーと悪天候と寒さでしたが、充分ウォッチング時間もあり その後船上でのホットドリンク等の対応もよかったです。
やはり狭い船上の中 多国籍の人と言葉の心配をしましたが スタッフ全員に楽しませてもらいました! このツアーを選んで正解でした!
The weather can change suddenly, so it's essential to have some warm clothing! Let's go with a bag that won't get wet from water or rain!
天候が急に変わるので 少し温まれる服は絶対必要です!水や雨に濡れないバックで行きましょう!

During the buffet before the show, there was a hula dance performance right in front of us, which made it enjoyable until the very end. The show also included a look-alike impersonation segment, which was entertaining.
ショーの前のビュッフェのときも、フラダンスショーが目の前で行われたりして、最後まで楽しめました。ショーはそっくりさんのモノマネショーもあり面白かったです。
Thank you very much for visiting the Rockaflor Original Waikiki Luau Buffet & Show with your child. We are delighted that you enjoyed the meal, as well as the entertainment featuring Elvis and Michael. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you back when you visit Hawaii again.

Fantastisk oplevelse. Vi prøvede også for 18 år siden. Grunden til kun 4 stjerner er, at der er for kort tid til at opleve det hele. Vi kom sent derop pga vejarbejde (men havde en fantastisk chauffør), så show på vandet er godt igang og alle pladser optaget.
Der var flere rækker tomme sæder ved det store aftenshow. Hvorfor ikke lade andre sidde der, så de ser bedre?
Brug skemaet over hvad der sker, så du opnår så meget som muligt.

The two women, Captain Hosanna and Jamie, who took care of us, were very fluent in Japanese. After explaining in English, they kindly re-explained everything for the Japanese guests, which made us feel very relieved and was great.
During the snorkeling led by Jamie, we were able to swim alongside a mother and baby sea turtle, which was a rare experience to see them up close. Looking beneath the surface, we could see schools of fish up close, and it was truly moving; I'm really glad we came.
On the other hand, during the shuttle bus ride, there was an unexpected stop at Leonard's Malasada wagon, where the driver kept praising it and asking for tips, which was not mentioned in the itinerary. I think such things should be noted. We didn't bring extra money and felt like we just wasted time.
僕達を担当してくれたホサンナキャプテンとジェイミーさん二人の女性は日本語がとても流暢で、英語で説明した後にわざわざ日本人のためにもう一度説明し直してくれたのでとても安心できて良かったです。
ジェイミーさんが引率してくれたシュノーケリングではウミガメの親子と並泳でき、とても間近で見ることが出来て貴重な体験となりました。水面の中を見ると魚の群れが間近で見ることができ、本当に感動し来て良かったです。
反面、送迎バスでは案内に記載の無かった「チップの要求と運転手がやたらと褒めるレナーズのマラサダのワゴンに立ち寄る」という事があり、そういうことなら記載すべきと思いました。私達は余分なお金を持っていかず、時間だけ浪費した感がありました。
It might be a good idea to bring some money.
お金は多少持って行った方が良いかも。

I booked this tour on my last trip to Oahu and was really excited about it. The downside is I ended up getting sea sick while I was in the water :( Even though it ended up cutting my experience with the sea turtles short, the crew was so kind and went out of their way to make sure I was feeling better and still had a great time.
I highly recommend this experience and can't wait to come back and try again (with better motion-sickness meds :) )

Not the best experience, very rushed,choppy water, cloudy because of all the sand in the waterI didn't see anything underwater snorkeling ,saw a few turtles swimming on top of water.as far as the drinks part.. you got about 15 mins to chug your 3 free drinks on the way back because you can't drink and snorkel? Probably a bad combo to sell .Probably won't do this one again Crew was well informed and nice but could put more effort in the experience.
Don't sell a booze snorkel cruise,when it's a bad combo

I kept jumping back and forth with scuba diving vs snorkeling. I’m glad I chose snorkeling! our instructor was Rida, he made the experience great with his cheesey jokes and his knowledge of the sea life. He was also very kind and understanding to those who were very afraid of deep water and using the snorkel for the first time.

I received a short message the day before the activity, and the pickup location was easy to understand. They arrived on time, which was reassuring. The driver was very polite, and the entry process was smooth. The kids really enjoyed snorkeling in the beautiful sea, and the three hours went by in no time.

You can enjoy stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) and snorkeling at the sandy beach in the shallow waters offshore. The strong winds made SUP quite challenging, but I was able to see sea turtles while snorkeling. It's no problem even for those who are new to snorkeling. There are staff members who speak Japanese, which was reassuring. The scenery and the ocean are beautiful, offering a different kind of experience compared to other beaches.
沖にある浅瀬の砂浜でSUPやシュノーケリングを楽しむことができます。風が強かったのでSUPは難易度が高かったですが、シュノーケリングではウミガメを見ることができました。シュノーケリング初めての方でも問題なしです。日本語の話せるスタッフの方がいらっしゃるので安心でした。景色も海も綺麗で、他のビーチとは違った楽しみ方ができます。
Snorkeling requires quite a bit of physical stamina, so those who are not good swimmers can rest on the boat. I cut my leg on the coral reef, but the staff quickly disinfected it for me.
シュノーケリングはかなり体力を使うので、泳ぎが苦手な人は船で休んでおくこともできます。
サンゴ礁で脚を切ってしまいましたが、スタッフの方がすぐに消毒してくれました。
Aloha! Thank you very much for participating in the Captain Bruce's Heavenly Ocean Tour. We look forward to seeing you again in the Heavenly Ocean, along with the sea turtles. A hui hou!

Both the captain and the crew were very entertaining. My English is at a normal level, but they really got the conversation going! For $40, they will take photos with a DSLR camera. They came up with various creative ways to take pictures, and when I checked them after the experience, I was surprised by how many there were! They sent the photo data to my smartphone right away :) I also received the data on an SD card. If I go to Hawaii again, I definitely want to participate!
キャプテンもクルーの方もとっても面白かったです。英語は普通レベルの私ですが盛り上げてくれて会話が弾みました!40$で一眼レフで写真も撮ってくれます。写真の撮り方を色々工夫してくれていて、体験後に確認するとびっくりするほどありました!スマホに写真データをすぐ送っていただきました:)SDカードでデータも貰えます。またハワイに行くならぜひ参加したいです!!
I recommend it if you're not afraid of heights! If you're prone to motion sickness, taking anti-nausea medication is a must!

We set off with about 12 people on the boat. There were only two groups of Japanese, including mine, but I had a lot of fun communicating a bit with the other groups. If you get seasick, it might be wise to be careful! The waves were a bit high that day...!
Photos are 137 for $40, and you can decide whether to take them on the boat or not. They take some really good pictures. (Another Japanese couple had a GoPro, so they didn't take any photos! There's no pressure, so it's totally fine to decline.) You can also ask someone else on the same boat to take pictures with your iPhone (it's a bit boring when you're down below...). I also asked for videos and photos.
I think even those who are anxious about flying abroad can feel at ease! I highly recommend it.
1船12人程で出発
日本人は私の組含めて2組しかいませんでしたが、ほかの組との少しコミュニケーションしたりととても楽しかったです。
船酔いする人は気をつけた方が良さそう!
当日少しだけ波が高かった…!
写真は137枚で40ドル、船の上で撮るか撮らないか決めれます。結構いい写真撮ってもらえます。
(別の日本人カップルはGoProを持ってらっしゃったので撮影なしでした!強制力はないので断るのも全然OK)
同じ船に乗ってもらってる人にiPhoneでの撮影も頼めます(下にいる時は暇だし…)。私も動画と写真お願いしました^^
海外で飛ぶの不安〜な方も安心して出来ると思います!おすすめ
If you're prone to getting seasick, it's essential to have motion sickness medication!!! Even if you're not sure, it's better to have it just in case!! You can place your belongings in the area for sa

When you think of Hawaii, you think of the trolley while feeling the breeze. You can enjoy it just by riding along without doing anything, and I believe this is more of an attraction than just a means of transportation.
It's helpful that they sell tickets separately without going through His, but since the pandemic, the discount tricks are no longer available, and it's too expensive, so I reduced my rating. However, you could say it's lucky that it's less crowded than before.
Be careful as the railings are so open that you might drop something. Hats can fly off, and depending on the driver, they might start moving before everyone is seated, and some drivers have rough driving styles. This is not Japan. Everyone should be cautious and take responsibility for themselves, as you shouldn't ride with a Japanese mindset.
Because of this, infants and toddlers can only sit in priority seats that are covered by railings (it feels scary to sit anywhere else). If you start from the first train, staff will guide you to the priority seats, but if you're boarding from the suburbs and there are no seats available, you should actively ask others to make space for the priority seats. Many drivers lack the Japanese language skills to explain this.
This is what Hawaii is all about.
やっぱりハワイといえば、
風を浴びながらのトロリー。
何をしなくても、ぼけーっと乗っているだけでたのしめる、これはもはや移動手段じゃなくアトラクションだと思っています。
Hisを通さず旅行しても、
こうやって単品で売ってくれて助かるのですが、コロナ後からは裏技の割引も使えなくなり、高すぎますので星を減らしました。
ただ、昔より空いていてラッキーともいえます。
ものを落としそうなくらい足元の空いた柵なのでくれぐれも注意、
帽子は飛びますし、ドライバーさんによっては着席前の発車もザラ、
荒い運転のかたもいて、
そこは、日本ではありません。
みなさんくれぐれも、日本の感覚では乗らないように、自己責任で。
そのため幼児や赤子は柵が覆われた優先席しか乗れません(怖くてそこじゃないとという感じ)
始発からだと係員に優先席を案内してもらえるのですが、郊外などからのる場合、
空いてなければ自分から積極的に優先席を開けて欲しいと、声をかけましょう。
ドライバーも、それを説明するほどの日本語力がない方が多いので。
やっぱりハワイは、これです。

What a great way to spend an afternoon! The company offers plenty of activities for you to stay active if you want out on the sandbar, or you can just chill out and lounge in the sandbar living room. The lunch was awesome! The staff was very friendly and professional. The 2 man band had amazing talent! I truly enjoyed the experience. It was very relaxing and fun. Thank you for the memories and joy!

Early March was cold, so I recommend visiting when the sea has warmed up in the sun.
