You will board the submarine after about a 15-minute boat ride. Then, you will spend quite a long time moving around the seabed in the submarine. It can make you feel seasick. Many people experienced motion sickness. I recommend that those who are prone to seasickness take some medication before going. However, I was happy to see a sea turtle. The crew members were all very kind.
15分ぐらい船に乗ってサブマリンに乗り込みます。それから結構長い時間サブマリンで海底を動き回ります。酔います。結構な人が船酔いしてました。酔いやすい方は酔い止めを飲んで行かれることをオススメします。でも、ウミガメに会えたのは嬉しかったです。船員の方々は皆さん優しかったです、
アロハ、私たちとレビューを共有していただきありがとうございます。あなたの体験が期待以下であったことを知り、とても残念に思います。貴重なフィードバックを感謝し、チームと共有いたします。マハロ!
Aloha, thank you for taking time to share your review with us. We are very disappointed to learn that your experience was less than exceptional. We appreciate your valuable feedback and will share it with our team. Mahalo!
Concerns for Japanese people:
- Not being able to communicate in Japanese
- Not knowing when to give tips
Is that about it?
It's like a well-trained horse just following the guide. There will probably be various explanations from the guide along the way, but since I can't understand English, there won't be any.
I think it would be good to sell tours that include tips for Japanese customers.
日本人に心配だと思う所
○日本語が通じない
○チップの渡すタイミングがわからない
これぐらいですかね?
よく調教された馬で、ガイドさんの後をついていくだけ
途中、色々とガイド説明があるんだろうけど、英語理解できないので無し
日本人向けにチップ込みツアーの販売が良いと思う
We set off from the beach in front of the Sheraton, cruising while enjoying Mai Tais. The view of Diamond Head from the sea is amazing. We even saw whales. I want to go again.
シェラトン前のビーチから出発し、マイタイを飲みながらのクルージング。海から見るダイヤモンドヘッドは最高です。クジラもいました。また行きたいです。
Since I participated during the New Year period, it felt different from the usual place. I enjoyed the sunset and the evening atmosphere at that time. I chose a great seat, right in the center at the very front, and it was moving to see the hula dance up close.
The food was served buffet style. There was a wide variety, including salads, meats, rice, noodles, and desserts. I could order up to three drinks with a ticket, so I ordered Mai Tai and beer.
There were many types of hula dances, and I was able to see about ten different groups perform. The beautiful movements of the hula were very captivating, and the powerful dances by the men using fire sticks were impressive as well.
年末年始に参加したのでいつもの場所とは違ったようですが、
時間帯的に夕焼けの日の落ちる感じと夜の雰囲気を楽しめて良かったです。
良い席にしたのでど真ん中の一番前の席で間近でフラダンスが観れて感動しました。
ごはんはビュッフェスタイルです。
サラダやお肉、ごはんや麺類、デザートまで種類は豊富でした。
飲み物は3つまで頼めるチケットだったのでマイタイやビールなどを注文。
フラダンスの種類?も豊富で全部で10組くらいのフラダンスを見ることができました。フラダンスの美しい動きはとても魅力的でしたし、男性が火の棒を使って力強いダンスをするのも迫力があって良かったです。
There were two instructors, and they seemed to have a bad relationship. One casually rode the waves during the lesson, while the other spoke poorly of the other, creating an awkward atmosphere. Additionally, when I purchased the photos, I was surprised to find that they included pictures of everyone. There was a significant imbalance in the number of photos for each person, which was disappointing. Personally, I felt that my own photos were far fewer than I had expected, and I regretted buying them.
インストラクターが2人いて、仲が悪そうだった。
1人はレッスンの間に気ままに波に乗ったり、もう1人は相手を悪く言ったりしていて気まずかった。
また、写真を購入したら全員分の写真が入っており、驚いた。
1人1人の写真の数の偏りも激しく、残念だった。
個人的には自分の写真が期待よりはるかに写真が少なく、買わなければよかったと思った。
Our greeter, Sheila, was right at our gate and made my mom’s first trip to Hawaii very special. She was thrilled and especially proud when she overheard another passenger remark, “Now THAT’S a REAL Hawaiian lei!” Beautiful and very much appreciated!
Aloha Jody! Thank you for taking the time to review your lei greeting! Sheila made this lei herself, and I am really glad that she made a great impression upon you. We wish you and your mother nothing but the best, and we hope to serve you again in the near future!
Mahalo Nui!

Very nice group of people, driver was excellent , we will definitely recommend and use in the future visits to the island
We dive to about 120 feet deep, but even in shallower areas, you can see many small fish and sea turtles. We also go right next to a sunken ship. Interestingly, the wing section of the YS-11 has become a home for fish.
水深120ftぐらいまで潜りますが、浅い場所でも小魚や海亀を多数見ることができます。沈没船の真横にも行きます。興味深いのはYS-11の主翼部分が魚の家になっていることです。

Aloha! Thank you for booking an Atlantis Adventures tour through Veltra. Mahalo!
My husband wasn't feeling up to swimming in the ocean, but once we reached the sandbar, we played beach volleyball and got caught up in snorkeling, losing track of time and having a great time. As it was my husband's first time snorkeling, he was amazed by the beautiful coral reefs and the schools of fish, repeatedly exclaiming, "This is great! It's beautiful!" Since there were staff who spoke Japanese, we felt no anxiety, and as the boat was primarily for Japanese tourists, we made friends with the people sitting next to us. Under the blue sea and sky of Hawaii, we spent time with the bright and kind staff, learned about the Hawaiian spirit of cherishing nature, and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Thank you very much.
夫は海で泳ごうという気持ちになれなかったのですが、サンドバーについたら、ビーチバレーをしたり、シュノーケリングに夢中になったり、時間を忘れて楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。シュノーケリングが初めての夫は、きれいなサンゴ礁や群がる魚達の様子に感動して「よかった~!きれいだ~!」の連発でした。日本語のできるスタッフでしたから不安もなく、さらに日本人観光客用の船でしたからほとんど日本人で隣の席の方たちとも仲良くなりました。ハワイの青い海と青空の下で、明るく優しいスタッフと一緒に過ごして、自然を大切にするハワイスピリットを学び、満喫しました。ありがとうございました。
It was great! But it's quite expensive, and if you don't like hula dancing, it might not matter either way!
The place with Michael Jackson was lively!
よかった!けど、けっこう高いし、フラダンスが好きでなければ、どちらでもいいかも!
マイケルジャクソンのところが沸いてました!
Thank you very much for visiting us this time. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you again when you come to Hawaii.
この度はご来場頂きまして、誠に有難うございます。またハワイにお越しの際には、ご来場頂けますよう、スタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げます。
I experienced the 150m!
Everyone says it's not scary and it's amazing, but it was really scary!! Haha. However, it was thrilling and so much fun (^ - ^). It seems there haven't been any accidents for about 38 years, so it's safe.
I put my iPhone in a waterproof case that hangs around my neck and took videos from the sky.
Motion sickness medication is a must. Even with it, I felt a bit uneasy, haha. The little ones who didn't take any were completely down.
However, there was fun music playing on the boat, and the captain was very cheerful! When taking photos, he kept saying "Kiss!" to the couples, haha. We exchanged videos with the couples on the boat and later swapped them via AirDrop.
They picked us up by bus, and the driver was also very cheerful, giving us recommendations for shops in the city. I tipped the captain $20 and the driver $10!
150mを体験しました!
みんな、こわくない、最高でしたと書いてますが、めっちゃこわいです!!笑笑
でも、スリルがあってとっても楽しかったです(^-^)
38年くらい事故なしで安全みたいです。
防水で首から下げるタイプのケースに入れて、上空にもiPhoneを持って行って動画を撮りました。
酔い止めは必須です。飲んでても危うかった笑
飲んでないちびっこは見事にダウン。
ただ、船内は楽しい音楽がかかっていて、船長はとっても愉快!写真を撮るとき、カップルに対して、チュー!と連呼笑
カップルさんと船から動画を撮り合いして、後でAirDropで交換しました。
バスで迎えに来てもらいましたが、その方もとっても愉快で、街中のオススメのお店を教えてくれました。船長に20ドル、運転手に10ドルチップをわたしました!
Since we switched places with the previous group at the water's edge, there was no guidance before boarding, but they provided instructions in Japanese, so I was able to enjoy it without any issues.
前の人達と水際で交代して乗ったので、乗る前の指導が何もなかったですが、日本語も言ってくれるので 困ることなく楽しめました。
Thank you we had a great time. We appreciated the discount, and everyone was very professional and courteous. The crew was Very friendly and gave us a great time. Thanks for the memory !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I
Better to go ther on sunny day. Better to bring lunch box by your self
The sandbar was deeper than I imagined from the pictures, and my 6-year-old child seemed to struggle for breath every time a wave hit, quickly wanting to get back on the boat. The weather that day wasn't very good, and the wind made it quite cold, which contributed to my child's lack of enjoyment. However, the local guides and all the staff were really fun and great people, which was wonderful. I hope to go again in the summer when my child is a bit older.
画像から想像したよりもサンドバーは深さがあって6歳のうちの子は波を被るたびに息苦しそうにしてすぐにボートへ上がってしまいました。
当日は天気があまりよくなくて、風で結構寒かったことも子供が楽しめなかった原因になってしまいました。
けれど、現地のガイドをはじめスタッフの皆さんは本当にとても楽しく、よい人ばかりですごくよかったです。
もう少し子供が大きくなったら、今度は夏に行ってみたいなと思います。
I used the service in early January. It might just be the timing, but the day we participated was very windy and quite cold. We borrowed wetsuits, but it was still chilly in the water, making it hard to stay in for long! There were other children participating, around elementary school age, but they seemed a bit down due to the cold, so I think families with kids should choose the season wisely. We did get to see the main dolphins, and we could see them up close from the boat. I encouraged my parents in their 60s to join, but I think they would have enjoyed it more if it hadn't been so cold! Even if you can't swim, wearing a life jacket will keep you afloat. As long as you can kick your legs, you'll be fine. Jumping from the boat and splashing into the water takes a bit of courage too. For those trying snorkeling for the first time, practicing in the bath might be a good idea. Also, due to the strong winds, we couldn't use the kayaks, and there were only three paddleboards available for the number of people, so it felt like a first-come, first-served situation. It's better to think of that as a bonus to avoid disappointment. There was one Japanese guide and about three local staff members, but the locals obviously didn't speak Japanese. Even though it was January, the next day was clear and warm, so this really comes down to luck or timing! It's an activity that requires physical strength.
1月初旬に利用しました。これはタイミングかと思いますが、私たちが参加した日はとても風が強く、とにかく寒かったです。ウェットスーツも借りましたが、水の中にも寒くて長くいるのは辛かった!一緒に参加されていた他のお子さん小学生くらいの子たちがいましたが、寒さで元気がなくなってしまって少しかわいそうでしたので、お子様連れの方は季節選ばれた方がいいかと思います。メインのイルカたちには会えて、船の上からでも近くで見ることができました。60代の両親も思い切って参加させましたが、寒くなければもっと楽しめたかな!泳ぎはできなくても、ライフジャケット着ると浮きます。バタ足で進むことさえできれば大丈夫です。船から足を下にジャンプしてザバーンと入るので、そこもちょっと勇気いります。シュノーケル初めての方はお風呂で練習するといいかと思います。あと風が強く、カヤックは出してもらえなかったのと、パドルボードも人数の割に3つしか道具がないので、早い者勝ちみたいになるので、こちらはおまけ程度に考えておいた方ががっかりしなくて良いかと思います。日本人のガイドさんがひとり、現地の方が3人ほどで、現地の方はもちろん日本語は話せないです。同じ1月でも翌日は良く晴れて暖かかったので、こればっかりは運というかタイミングですね!体力が必要なアクティビティです。
This time, I was looking for a Hawaiian-style show for my first trip to Hawaii with my boyfriend. I had previously seen another luau show, so I decided to book the Rock-A-Hula show, which offers not only a luau but also an American-style show. The course I booked was called the Green Room, which included light snacks in a VIP room, and we got to take a photo with Michael Jackson at the beginning. I'm glad I chose this course because we received the photo on the day of the show!
We had front-row seats right in front of the stage. The dancers were easy to see, and it was really great. Before the show started, there was a backstage tour where we could wear the dancers' costumes and take photos, which was a wonderful experience! My boyfriend, who was visiting Hawaii for the first time, really enjoyed it as well. I highly recommend this course!
今回、彼氏との初のハワイ旅行のため、ハワイらしいショーが見たいなと思い探しておりました。以前、別のルアウのみのショーは見たことがあったので、こちらのロックアフラショーはルアウのみでなく、アメリカらしいショーも見られるとのことで、こちらのロックアフラショーを予約しました。今回予約したコースはグリーンルームというコースのため、VIPルームでの軽食も付いており、はじめにマイケルジャクソンと写真を撮りました。この写真は当日もらえたのでこちらのコースにして良かったです
!
席もステージ目の前の先頭の席。
ダンサーもよく見えとても良かったです。
ショーが始まる前のバックステージツアーでは、
ダンサーの衣装を実際に身につけて写真撮影ができこれも良い体験でした!
ハワイ初の彼もとても楽しんでおり、
こちらのコースとてもオススメです。
Thank you very much for visiting us. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed your time here. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you back when you visit Hawaii again.
この度はご来場頂きまして、誠に有難うございます。楽しめて頂けたご様子で、私共も大変嬉しく思っております。またハワイにお越しの際には、ご来場頂けますよう、スタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げます。
I have used this service several times, and it was usually 5 to 10 minutes late. This time, I arrived a little earlier than the scheduled time. Since it was an early morning departure, I was anxious, but it was a relief. There were not many hotels to stop by, and I arrived at the airport early. It was a great help.
今まで何度か利用させていただきましたが、集合時間より5~10分遅れが通常でした。今回は時間よりちょっと前の到着。
早朝の出発だったので、不安でしたが助かりました。
寄っていくホテルも少なく、早めの空港に到着。
助かりました。
I participated in the early morning tour on January 3rd with my middle school son. I was worried about the weather forecast, as it mentioned strong winds (which could make us seasick) and low temperatures (which seemed cold), but in the end, it turned out to be a great experience.
Since I had read other people's experiences, both of us took motion sickness medication before getting on the boat, which might be why we didn't feel seasick at all. The cold wasn't too bad after we got off the boat and entered the sea the first time, but after getting back on the boat the second time, I started shivering. However, I had seen from others' experiences that it was a good idea to bring a bath towel and something to wear over our clothes, so we brought bath towels and two of the non-adhesive hot packs each, which helped us warm up quickly. The local guide on the boat even asked, "What is that?" (laughs).
On the bus ride there, we heard various stories from our guide, Julie, and once we were on the boat, everything flowed smoothly. Despite the large number of participants, there were no issues with anyone missing out on anything, which was surprising.
We spotted dolphins relatively quickly after getting on the boat, and everyone jumped in to swim close to them, but it was quite hard (laughs). I don't usually do any sports, so I lagged behind everyone and couldn't see the dolphins underwater until the end. My son said, "The dolphin was swimming right below me!" and I thought that was enough, but when I found out that another person and I hadn't seen the dolphins yet, the local guide helped push me and pull me closer to the dolphins, and I was able to see them safely.
The first time we entered the sea to see the dolphins, I was constantly moving my body, so I was out of breath (laughs), but I wasn't too cold after getting back on the boat. However, during the second time in the sea, we swam more leisurely to watch the sea turtles and other fish, so I didn't move my body much, and I felt quite cold after getting back on the boat.
It was great that we had a photographer with us who took lots of pictures. I brought my own underwater camera, but I had no time to take photos while swimming after the dolphins (laughs).
On the boat, the local guides constantly made us laugh with gestures and communicated with us through gestures, so I think even those who can't speak English can enjoy it quite a bit.
We were able to regain our body temperature by eating warm spam onigiri and snacks, and I think it was a well-organized tour.
1月3日の朝早いほうのツアーに中学生の息子と参加しました。
天気予報を見ていると、風も強いし(船に酔いそう)、気温も低めだし(寒そう)、日本を出発する頃から心配していたのですが、参加した結果、良かったです(^^)
他のかたの体験談を見ていたので、船に乗る前に酔い止め薬を二人とも服用していたせいか船に酔う事もなかったです。
寒さは、一度目に船をおりて海に入った後はそうでもなかったのですが、二度目に海に入って船にあがってからはガタガタ震えてしまいました。
でもそれも、他のかたの体験談からバスタオルや上に羽織るものを持参したほうが良いというのを見ていたので、バスタオルと上に羽織るものと、そして我が家は貼らないタイプのホカロンを一人二つずつ持参していったのですぐにおさまりました。船に乗っていた地元のガイドのかたから「それは何か?」と聞かれましたが(笑)
行きのバスの中ではガイドのジュリーさんからいろいろなお話が聞けましたし、船に乗ってからも流れがスムーズで、参加人数がかなり多かったにも関わらず、誰かに何かがわたっていないなどという事がなかったのが驚きでした。
船に乗って割とすぐにイルカが見つかり、ドボンドボンと全員飛び込んでイルカの近くまで泳いでいきましたが、これが結構ハードで(笑)
普段スポーツなど全くしない私は、皆さんから遅れ気味で最後までイルカを水中で見る事がかなわず、息子は「イルカが真下に泳いでいた!」と言っていたのでもうそれでじゅうぶんと思っていたのですが、私ともう一人のかたがまだ水中でイルカを見ていないと知ると、地元のガイドのかたが私の背中を押して下さったり手を引っ張って下さったりしながらイルカの近くまで連れて行って下さり、無事見る事が出来ました。
一度目にイルカを見に海に入った時は、常に必死で身体を動かしていたせいか息はあがっていたものの(笑)、船にあがってからもそれほど寒くなかったのですが、二度目に海に入った時にはそれぞれゆったり泳ぎながらウミガメや他の魚の泳ぎを見る感じだったので、あまり身体を動かさなかったせいか船に上がってからかなり寒かったです。
今回カメラマンのかたの同行があったので写真をいっぱい撮ってもらえてよかったです。自分でも水中カメラを持参して行ったのですが、イルカを追いかけて泳いでいる時は撮影する余裕が全くなかったりしたので(笑)
船の上で、常に地元のガイドのかたがたがジェスチャーで笑わせてくださったり、ジェスチャーだけでやりとりして下さったりしてくれたので、英語がしゃべれないかたでもかなり楽しめると思います。
温かいスパムおにぎりや、スナックを食べて体温を取り戻せましたし、いたれりつくせりのツアーだったと思います。
ALOHA!! Thank you for participating in Dolphin Middle School! I'm glad both of you were able to see wild dolphins! (^^) Please come visit again when you're in Hawaii. MAHALO!!
ALOHA!! この度はイルカ中学にご参加いただき有難う御座いました! お二人とも野生のイルカを見られたようで良かったです!(^^) また是非ハワイにいらした際は遊びに来てくださいね。MAHALO!!
No waiting, just sliding down the slides! The bodyboarding experience was amazing! However, since I went in January, it was cold in the morning and the adults were shivering... By noon, the temperature rises, so checking the temperature is important. It takes about 30 minutes to get to Waikiki.
並ぶことも無くスライダーで滑りまくり!ボディーボード体験も出来て最高!ただ1月に行ったので午前中は寒くて大人は震えてました…昼には気温も上がるので、気温チェックは大事ですね、ワイキキくら30分程度。
I'm afraid of heights, but I made a reservation because my husband loves this kind of thing and I thought he would enjoy it. At first, I regretted it, but after doing the first practice run, I was surprisingly not scared at all and didn't feel like I was falling, which was a relief. After a while, the scenery was the same, and since there were trees around, it didn't feel high at all. I thought maybe halfway would be enough because I was tired, but it turned out to be a great experience that I'll remember for a lifetime.
高所恐怖症なんですが旦那さんがこーゆうの大好きなので喜ぶかな?と予約しました。
最初は後悔しましたが練習用の1本目をやったら
意外と落ちる感じがなく怖い気持ちは無かったので安心しました。途中からは景色も同じでなんなら木が茂っていたので高く感じなかったし
疲れたのもあり半分でいいかな?とも思いましたが一生に一度のいい体験になりました。
We traveled on the ship with three generations of our family, from ages 3 to 72. The large windows provided great views, and while the food and desserts were a bit too sweet, they were still quite delicious. On the way back, the bus took us through a street with Christmas illuminations with the lights turned off, which was enjoyable until the very end.
However, there was no announcement, which left us a bit confused about when to go for food and whether we could sit on the second floor without ordering drinks.
Despite the many positives, my rating is average due to the dishes. They seemed to have only been washed on the surface, with grease remaining on the underside, and sometimes they were completely dirty. It felt wasteful, especially since the crew members were very attentive. I hope this can be improved.
3歳〜72歳まで家族3世代で乗船。窓が大きいので景色も良く、料理もスイーツは甘すぎでしたがほどよく美味しく、帰りのバスは明かりを消してクリスマスイルミネーションのある通りを通ってくれて最後まで楽しめました。
ただ何もアナウンスがないので、料理をとりにいくタイミング、2階はドリンクを飲まなくても座っていいのか、戸惑いが少しありました。
良いことが多かったものの評価が普通なのは…食器類。表面しか洗ってなくて裏は油汚れが残っていたり、たまに全面汚れていたりしたので、せっかく船員さんも丁寧な方たちなのにもったいないなぁと思いました。是非改善を。

Aloha! Thank you for booking an Atlantis Adventures tour through Veltra. Mahalo (thank you) for your review.
I thought the sandbar would be a beach, but it seems that during the winter season, it only goes up to about knee height. It was said that it's better to enjoy it in the afternoon if you want to take your time. If I participate next time, I think I'll choose the afternoon. I also had fun taking pictures of sea turtles!
サンドバーって砂浜になると思いましたが、冬の時期はまだ膝の下くらいまでだそうです。ゆっくり楽しむなら午後の方が良いとの事でした。次回参加するなら午後をチョイスしてみようと思います。
ウミガメの撮影も出来楽しかったよ!
I participated in the 150-meter event, and my 6-year-old daughter also enjoyed it. It seems she wasn't scared at all. I'm very happy to have received the photos in digital format. I definitely recommend this tour!
150メートルに参加しましたが6歳娘も楽しめました。怖くなかったようです。写真もデータで頂け嬉しい限りです。是非参加オススメツアーです。
I was able to see dolphins, whales, and turtles from a distance! I thought it would be expensive because it's Hawaii, but the guide was entertaining, they provided motion sickness medication, and it was great that I could drink alcohol too! ^_^
遠くからでしたが、イルカもクジラもカメも見れました!ハワイだから、高いなだと思ってたけど、ガイドさんも面白くて酔い止めも完備していて、お酒も飲めて良かったー^_^
The guide, captain, cameraman, and all the staff were very kind and clearly loved dolphins. The captain searched for spots with lots of dolphins, and the guide took us to where the dolphins were, so I think even those who are not good at swimming will be fine. I definitely want to use this service again. Thank you very much.
ガイドさんや船長さん、カメラマンさん、その他スタッフの皆さんとても親切でイルカが大好きな方達でした。船長さんもイルカがたくさんいるスポットを探してくれたり、ガイドさんがイルカのいるところまで連れてってくれるので、泳ぐのが苦手な方でも大丈夫だと思います。ぜひまた利用したいです。ありがとうございました。
I boarded the 10 AM tour with a guide who spoke Japanese.
Along the way, we saw sea turtles several times, which made both my children and my wife very happy. Of course, I was also extremely satisfied with the tour. My child said, "I want to ride again!"
The scenery on the way to where the submarine is docked was beautiful, and from the second floor of the boat, you can see Diamond Head, so I definitely recommend going to the second floor!
The ladder mentioned in the precautions for boarding the submarine is actually not a ladder but a staircase (imagine a steep, narrow staircase), and my 6-year-old child and my wife had no trouble getting on and off.
However, since it is quite steep, I think it is essential to follow the precautions that say to "wear sneakers" and "wear pants."
Considering the cost of living in Hawaii, I think the price is quite reasonable.
That said, I will point out three potential downsides that might be considered negatives by some people.
First, when gathering, you go to the counter inside the Hilton Hawaiian Village, but not much Japanese is spoken here. You check in at this counter, but you have to move to the boarding area for the boat on your own (it's very close, though).
You will see a boat with "Atlantis" written in large letters, so you should be able to find it, but please be aware that this is not the type of package tour where your name is called at the reception, and you walk together with the guide to the boarding area.
Also, while the 10 AM tour has a guide who speaks Japanese, I found that I could only understand about 50-60% of what was said in Japanese (laughs).
I’m not dissatisfied; it just feels very Hawaiian, but if you expect 100% perfect Japanese, you might be a bit disappointed (laughs).
Additionally, as mentioned in the tour precautions and many reviews, you will travel by boat from the boarding area to the submarine, and depending on the wind conditions that day, those who are sensitive may experience seasickness.
When passengers move from the boat to the submarine, the boat will naturally be docked close to the submarine, but it can also sway quite a bit, so there is a possibility of seasickness here as well.
I recommend that anyone who is worried about seasickness or is prone to motion sickness take anti-nausea medication in advance.
日本語でお話し頂けるガイドさんが添乗される午前10時の回に搭乗しました。
途中で海ガメも何回か見られて、子供はもちろん妻も喜んでいました。もちろん私も大満足のツアーでした。子供は「また乗りたい!」と言っていました。
潜水艦が停泊している沖に行くまでの景色も綺麗で、船の2Fからはダイヤモンドヘッドが見えますので絶対に2Fに行く事をオススメします!
注意事項に書いてある潜水艦への乗船の際のハシゴも、実際はハシゴではなく階段状になっており(急で、足場が狭めの階段とご想像ください)6才の子供やうちの妻も訳なく乗降できました。
ただし、かなり急ですので、やはり注意事項に書いてある「スニーカーなどを着用」「ズボン着用」は必須かと思います。
価格も、ハワイの物価を考えれば相当額だと思います。
そんな中であえてマイナス点と言いますか、人によってはマイナス点になりそうな部分を3点挙げます。
まず集合の際、ヒルトンハワイアンビレッジ内のカウンターに行きますが、ここでは余り日本語が通じません。受付はまずこのカウンターで行いますが、船への乗船場所へは自身で移動します。(目と鼻の先ですが)
英語で大きく「Atlantis」と書かれた船が船着き場に来るので分かるとは思いますが、いわゆる日本人観光客御用達のパッケージツアーのように、受付の所で名前を呼ばれてガイドさんと共に船着き場までゾロゾロ行くタイプではないので気を付けてください。
また、10時の回は潜水艦のガイドさんが日本語をお話しされる、との事でしたが、確かに日本語でのガイドを直接してくださいますが5〜6割くらいしか理解できない日本語でした(笑)
不満ではありませんし、何ともハワイらしいな、と言う感想ですが、100%きれいな日本語を期待されて行くと肩透かしかもしれません(笑)
それと、ツアーの注意事項や多くのレビューでも書かれていますが、船着き場から潜水艦の所まで船で移動しますが、その日の風の状況により船が弱い人は船酔いする可能性があります。
また、船から潜水艦へお客さんが移動する際には当然船が潜水艦の近くに停泊するのですが、ここでも結構船が揺れますので、同様に船酔いする可能性があります。
船酔いが心配な人、乗り物酔いしやすい人は事前に必ず酔い止めを飲む事をオススメします。
アロハ!Veltraを通じてアトランティスアドベンチャーズのツアーをご予約いただきありがとうございます。マハロ!

With four family members each having a suitcase, it can be difficult to fit in a taxi, so this was convenient. It was said to stop at a maximum of five locations, but it actually stopped at seven. Well, it was within an acceptable range.
家族4人で1人一個スーツケースとなると、タクシーでは乗車できないこともあるので、こちらでラクでした。最大五ヶ所との事でしたが、7ヶ所止まりました。まぁ許容範囲でした。
I repeated my visit this time.
It was easy with no hassle at all.
Great cost performance.
I would like to use it again.
Thank you very much.
今回リピートしました
面倒なことは一切無しで楽です
コスパも良し
また利用したいと思います

The distance to the whales is about 300 meters, which is quite close. While the sense of their size may not be overwhelming, the excitement when you see them is significant. It's only about a 15-minute distance from the port, so the boat doesn't sway much. If you're deciding between skydiving and whale watching, I recommend whale watching!
クジラとの距離は近くて300メートルくらいです。大きいという感動は少ないですが見たときの感動は大きいです。港から15分くらいの距離なので船が大きく揺れることもありません。スカイダイビングとホエールウォッチングを迷っているならホエールウォッチングを勧めます!
