Oahu
Swimming with dolphins has been a dream of mine for many years. I participated in the tour with a bit of sleepiness from the early morning departure, but I had a great time listening to the staff share many stories about Hawaii and dolphins during the journey; the hour flew by. After boarding, everyone enjoyed chatting together as the captain guided the boat out to sea! I thought we might see only two or three dolphins at most, but when we arrived at the dolphin spot, we encountered over 30 dolphins, and my excitement skyrocketed. We also met sea turtles and gentle sharks, feeling like Ariel♪ After snorkeling, we enjoyed pork rice balls and snacks on the boat while dancing the hula on the way back. From start to finish, it was a truly fun and happy time. I would love to participate again the next time I come to Hawaii.
イルカと泳ぐのが長年の夢でした。朝早くの出発で少し眠さもありながらツアーに参加しましたが、道中にスタッフさんからハワイやイルカについてのお話を沢山聞けて、すごく楽しく1時間があっという間でした。乗船後もみんなで楽しく会話しながら、船長さんの赴くままに船は出航!!!!イルカに会えても、せいぜい2.3頭だろうと思っていましたが、いざイルカ達のポイントに着くと、30頭以上のイルカ達に出会えて、テンションが上がりまくりました。ウミガメや大人しいサメにも出会え、気分はアリエル状態♪シュノーケル後は、船上でポークおにぎりやおかしを食べ、フラダンスを踊りながらの帰航。初めから最後まで、全てがとても楽しい幸せな時間でした。次にハワイに来る時も、また参加したいと思います。
I took several buses at the airport, but it seemed that the staff were not coordinating well with each other, so I ended up waiting for quite a while.
空港で何台かのバスに乗り分けていたが、係員同士で打ち合わせがうまくいっていないのか、結構な時間待たされた。
One of the things on my bucket list was to swim with dolphins, and I made it happen. The weather was refreshing, the waves were calm, and the sea was very clear, making it the perfect day for the tour. The staff were bright and cheerful, which made for a fun experience throughout. I got to see a large group of dolphins and even met a sea turtle; it was truly an amazing time. Waking up early is tough, but I was a bit jet-lagged anyway, and I could sleep on the bus during the ride, so it wasn't too hard. We returned by early afternoon, allowing us to spend the rest of the day meaningfully. One thing to note is that if you are prone to motion sickness, it might be a good idea to take some medication, as there seemed to be a difference between those who did and didn't.
死ぬまでにやりたいことリストに入ってたひとつ、イルカと泳ぐこと。実現しました。天気も爽快、波も穏やか、海の透明度も高い日だったそうで、最高のツアー日だったそうです。スタッフの方々の明るさ、陽気さもあり、終始楽しい時間になりました。イルカの大群にも会えたし、ウミガメにも会えたし、本当に最高の時間でした。朝早いのは辛いけど、そもそも少し時差ボケ気味だったのと、移動中にバスの中で寝れるので、そんなに苦ではないです。昼過ぎには戻れるので、その後の1日も有意義に過ごせます。ひとつだけ注意点があるとすると、車などに酔いやすい人は、酔い止めを飲んだ方がいいかもしれません。飲んでる人と飲んでない人で差があった模様。。
The sailing vessel was very impressive and incredibly well maintained and professionally operated. I am a sailing enthusiast and this catamaran was extremely smooth and well built to service a delightful dinner event. The crew was attentive, while also allowing the guests to enjoy their cruise and take in the beauty of Waikiki. The cruise had a personal ambience to it while accommodating the 25 to 30 guests that were on our specific sailing. We did not feel crowded at all, and it was nice to not feel like a “herd” of guests on those double decker party cruises. The food was tasty and filling. We did get to enjoy actually sailing on the main and the jib, and we only motored for a very short time. There is something magestic and almost spiritual about sailing on the sea. The cobalt blue water beneath, and the gentle trade winds so effortlessly powering the huge sails is an experience to treasure.
The only encouragement that I would make to the Makani experience is to provide some gentle Hawaiian music on top where the forward trampoline is. Most guests enjoyed staying forward on the trampoline, and the music only played below in the bar/covered seating area.
We chose to have the Makani pick us up from our hotel and the driver and vehicle were very professional. We recommend this option as it made the entire experience effortless. I would definitely do this activity again. It was worth the time and was a good value.
Had a great time out, saw loads of turtles and even dolphins. Also great to experience the waves whilst sailing out. Jeromino was a really great guide, the whole team were brilliant and took fantastic care of us. Would really recommend this tour definite one oc the highlights of our stay on Oahu!
It was great that I could ride easily in just two hours. The scenery was amazing!! However, the photo data I purchased at the end was corrupted and couldn't be read. I understand that such things can happen, but in other active options, I received a letter with contact information and methods in case the receipt and data couldn't be read. Unfortunately, I didn't receive that from Hands Harden. I even gave a proper tip... It's disappointing because I was looking forward to it.
2時間で簡単に乗れて良かったです。
景色も最高‼︎
でも最後に購入させてもらった写真のデーターが壊れてて読み取れませんでした。
そういう場合もあると思うので仕方ないですが
他のアクティブオプションでも撮って下さった写真を購入した事ありますが領収書とデーターが読み込めなかった時の連絡先、方法などが記入した手紙もちゃんと頂きました。
こちらのハンズハーデンさんは無かったです。
チップもちゃんとお渡ししたのに‥
残念です。楽しみにしてたのに。
A cute storm named Tropical Storm Olivia had just passed by Oahu, so there was some wind and light rain, which made my fear of heights reach its maximum. I participated with my three children, and our seats were assigned from the beginning, with me being seated next to the pilot. Despite my nervousness, he kept reassuring me with "No problem!" and gently asked, "Are you okay?" with a smile, which helped me calm down. We flew almost all the way around Oahu, saw a secret waterfall nestled between mountains that can only be approached by helicopter, and got close to the slopes around Kualoa. Towards the end of the flight, we even passed over planes waiting to land at Honolulu Airport. It was a rare experience that can only be enjoyed from a helicopter. This became the best memory of my trip to Hawaii.
トロピカルストームオリビアという可愛い名前のストームがオアフ島横を通り過ぎた後だったので風も吹き小雨を降ってたので
高所恐怖症の私の緊張はMAXでした。
子供3人と私との4人の参加で座席は初めから決まってて私はパイロットの横に案内されました。緊張してる私に始終No probelm‼︎ と深呼吸してAre you O.K?と優しく笑顔で声掛けて下さり落ち着きました。オアフ島をほぼ一周しヘリでしか近づけない山の合間にある秘密の滝を見せてくれたりクアロア辺りの山の斜面に近付いたり飛行最後の方ではホノルル空港の着陸待機の飛行機の上を通過したりヘリ搭乗しか味わえない貴重な体験でした。今回のハワイ旅の
1番の想い出になりました。
I used the service from The Kahala Hotel to the airport. They arrived on time to pick me up. While heading to the airport, we stopped at other hotels, and there was a strange moment where we seemed to wait for about 10 minutes at one of the hotels, as if waiting for someone to board. I wish they had provided some explanation in English, even just a brief one. However, I was glad that I arrived at the airport safely.
ザ・カハラホテルから空港まで利用しました。
時間どうりにお迎えにきていただきました。他のホテルにも立ち寄りながら空港まで向かったのですが、途中のホテルでは、10分くらい停車し乗車する人を待っているかのような不思議な時間がありました。英語でも何も説明もなく一言説明をしてほしかったと思います。ただ、無事に空港に着いたので良かったのですが。
Unfortunately, we couldn't see a beautiful sunset due to the cloudy weather, but the night view and fireworks visible from the sea were great. The boat sways quite a bit, and if you're prone to motion sickness, it might be tough for you.
残念ながら曇りだったため綺麗なサンセットは見られませんでしたが、海から見える夜景と花火はよかったです。
船は結構揺れて長時間乗っているので酔いやすい方は辛いかもしれません。
アトランティスクルーズをマジェスティックでVELTRAを通じてご予約いただき、ありがとうございます。アロハ。
Mahalo for booking an Atlantis Cruise on Majestic with VELTRA. Aloha.
It was a fun stage not just for dining and watching the show, but also featuring interactive events! There was a practice time for hula dancing, a contest where randomly selected guests were invited on stage to blow a conch shell (or something like that?), and opportunities to dance with the performers—there was so much going on. The hula dancers showcased various patterns of dance. The English MC was explaining things, but it was a bit fast and hard to understand... Still, I enjoyed it thoroughly. The fire dance was amazing!
The meal had a Hawaiian flair, and it was nice that it wasn't overly extravagant. The fish dish was the most delicious.
ただ食事をしてショーを見るだけでなく、参加型イベントもある楽しいステージでした!
フラダンスの練習タイムがあったり、お客さんの中からランダムにステージに上げられて、ホラ貝(のようなもの?)を吹くコンテストがあったり、ダンサーと一緒に踊ったり、盛りだくさんです。
フラダンスは様々なパターンのダンスを見せてくれます。
英語のMCで説明していたようですが、早口でよくわからず、、、
それでも十分楽しめました。
ファイヤーダンスは最高でしたね!
お食事はハワイらしい内容で、豪華すぎなくて良かったです。
お魚料理が一番美味しかったです。
This catamaran cruise this evening was an unforgettable experience! We have been coming to Oahu for over 15 years as a couple (this is our 25th wedding anniversary trip) and have never seen Honolulu and Waikiki from a boat tour before. The Makani was an excellent first-time experience: Well captained and crewed, this vessel holds people above and below deck. It has a head (bathroom) that is easily accessible before or during the voyage. The crew did a nice job with the meal and beverage service, were on top of all the ship and passenger details, and readily and easily answered our questions. We sat topside in the front on bean bag canvas seats by the webbing and thoroughly enjoyed the view of the boat, the water, and the sunset and coastline. It was fun to sail as far as Diamond Head and see the lighthouse, as well as Koko Crater. Also, the hotel pickup and dropoff was a nice experience. The suggestions on attire were right on track. We would someday like to try the Friday night fireworks cruise!
It seems that the phases of the moon and the tides are related. Rather than a sandbar, it was a beautiful sea that came up to my waist. The water was very clear, and I encountered many sea turtles on the way to the sandbar.
At first, when I entered the water, I thought, "It's cold!" but I got used to it after a while. Also, for all the smokers out there! Smoking is prohibited on the boat, but you can smoke in the water! I think having a smoke while standing in the waist-deep water is exceptional, so I recommend bringing your cigarettes!
As for snorkeling, the mask was covered in fine scratches and didn't have anti-fog treatment, so it fogged up quickly after just 2-3 minutes. Additionally, since we were swimming in a group next to the coral, the water became murky and it was hard to see, causing the fish to flee. There were many people who weren't used to it, so it inevitably became a bit crowded.
Participation in snorkeling seems to be optional, so it might be more meaningful to play around the boat. If you're mainly looking to snorkel and seeking the sandbar mentioned in guidebooks, I wouldn't particularly recommend it.
The staff from the tour company were cheerful, friendly, and kind, which was very nice. The sandwiches for lunch were also delicious.
月の満ち欠けと、潮の満ち引きが関係しているらしく
サンドバーっていうよりかは腰までくる綺麗な海でした
透明度が高くて、サンドバーに付くまでの間にウミガメにもたくさん会えました
最初、海に入ったときは「冷たい!」と思いますが、入っているうちに慣れていく感じ
あとは愛煙家の皆さん!!
船の中では禁煙ですが、海の中では喫煙できますよ!!
腰の高さまである海の中での一服は格別だと思われますので、愛煙家の皆さんはお煙草持って行くのをオススメします!!
シュノーケルは、マスクが細かい傷だらけなのと、曇り止めをしていないので2~3分付けていたらすぐ曇ってしまいます
あと、やはり団体で珊瑚の横を泳ぐので、水が濁って見えづらくなる&魚が逃げます
慣れてない人もたくさんいらっしゃるので、どうしても芋洗い状態になってしまうのだと思います
シュノーケルの参加は自由みたいなので、船のまわりでシャパシャパ遊んでる方が有意義かもしれません
シュノーケルをメインに考えている&ガイドブックに載ってるサンドバーを求めている方には、あまりオススメはしません
催行会社の方々は、陽気で気さく、優しい方が多いのでそこはとても良かったです
お昼のサンドイッチも美味しかった
I thought it might be a little scary, but it was far more fun than that. The scenery was amazing, and zip-lining while feeling the wind was the best!
少し怖いかなと思いましたがそれをはるかに超える楽しさがありました。景気も素晴らしく風を感じながらのジップラインは最高でした。
I had experienced stand-up paddleboarding a few times in my local sea, but it was my first time in the waters of Waikiki. The waves were a bit rough, making it difficult to maintain my balance, but thanks to the kind support of the instructor, I had a great time. Thank you!
SUPは何度か地元の海で体験していましたが、ワイキキの海では初めてでした。
波は少し荒めでバランスをとるのが難しかったですが、インストラクターの親切な対応で楽しく過ごせました。
ありがとうございました!
The staff at the reception spoke Japanese, which was great. On the day of the visit, there were only two groups, so the wait time was short, and we enjoyed the boat ride to the midway point without feeling seasick.
I'm not good with heights, but I managed to handle the 90 meters. However, it might be tough in case of strong winds.
The crew on the boat consisted of two members who didn't speak Japanese, but they were friendly, so I gave them a $10 tip.
I'm unsure whether I would repeat the experience, but I would recommend it at least once.
受付の方は日本語okでした。
当日は2組で待ち時間も少なく、途中のポイントまでのボートが気持ちよく酔いもせずに楽しめました。
高所は苦手なのですが90mはなんとかいけましたが
もし強風などの場合厳しいかもしれません。
船上のクルーは二人で日本語はできませんでしたが
感じはよかったのでチップを10ドルお渡ししました。
リピートするかどうかは悩みますが1度はお勧めです
The interior was spacious, and we placed our suitcases behind the driver. The seats were wide and comfortable, with USB power outlets under the seats. We arrived earlier than scheduled due to two other hotels. I would like to use this service again next time.
車内が広くスーツケースはドライバーの後ろに積んでいきました。
座席が広くゆったりとしてUSBの電源もシート下にあります、私達のほかに2カ所のホテルによって、予定より早く到着しました。次回も利用したいです。
This was my second time in Hawaii, but I participated with my boyfriend who was there for the first time. He was a bit scared at first because he isn't great with heights, but he had an amazing time!! I'm so glad I brought him along!!
The staff spoke English and were very friendly, so I felt comfortable participating. If you want photos, they ask you before you fly, so I don't think you'll be pressured into spending money.
二回目のハワイでしたが、ハワイ初の彼氏と一緒に参加しました^ ^
彼氏は高いところが少し苦手だったので最初は怖がっていましたが、めちゃくちゃ楽しんでいました!!連れて行ってよかった!!^ ^
何度か海にジャボンしてくれるので、最高です^ ^
スタッフの方は英語ですが、いろいろ話しかけてくれるので安心して参加できます^ ^
写真が欲しい方は、飛ぶ前に聞かれるので無理にお金を取られる事もないと思います。
We were blessed with beautiful sunny weather, enjoyed practicing snorkeling and playing volleyball in the shallow waters, and savored freshly grilled beef hamburgers on the boat. After that, we had a great time watching sea turtles and experiencing authentic snorkeling. It was fun to be surrounded by many tropical fish while also getting to see sea turtles!
晴天の天気に恵まれ、海の中に出来た浅瀬でシュノーケリングの練習とバレーボールを楽しみ、船上で焼きたてビーフハンバーガーを堪能した後は、ウミガメウォッチと本格シュノーケリングを楽しみました。シュノーケリングでは多くの熱帯魚に囲まれながら、ウミガメを見る事も出来て楽しかったです!
Since it was more beginner-friendly than Waikiki, I experienced my first SUP in Kailua. There were four participants (three of whom were first-timers) and one Japanese guide (this time it was a lively and pleasant person named Mieko).
First, we received explanations at the shop about the route to the sea, how to hold the paddle, and how to maintain balance on the board. This explanation is only given on land, so it's important to listen carefully, as you won't receive instructions once you're in the water.
Due to local regulations, the tour vehicle and guide cannot enter the Kailua park and swimming area with participants. Therefore, when doing SUP in the sea, even as a beginner, you must paddle out alone beyond the swimming area buoys. It was a bit daunting to jump straight into practice without any prior training. So, it's essential to approach it with a strong mindset that you can definitely do it.
That said, even as a beginner, sitting and paddling was very stable, so I didn't feel like I would tip over or struggle to move forward. Riding on the board in a calm river that connects to the sea, once we reached the swimming area, a staff member called a "shadow warrior" helped us by pushing our boards to get us out to sea.
We paddled in a line for about 700 meters to an island, which took approximately 45 minutes. After landing and taking a break, since the ground is made of lava, I think it's better to wear marine shoes rather than flip-flops to avoid injuries. You have to take off flip-flops on the board, but you can keep the shoes on.
For those concerned about sunburn, wearing a hat, sunglasses, rash guard, and leggings is the best combination, but it's advisable to use a strap for the hat and sunglasses to prevent them from flying away. The return trip took about 15 minutes to reach the shore.
We brought the boards back to the shop and then had free time for lunch. It seems that whether you do SUP in the sea or river is decided based on the weather and participants' preferences.
The shower is outside with cold water, but there are four changing booths, and you can store your belongings in lockers. My first SUP experience was athletic, but it was very rewarding and enjoyable!
ワイキキより初心者向けということで、
カイルアで初SUPを体験しました。
参加者4名(内3名初SUP)に対し、日本人のガイドさん1名(今回はミエコさんというちゃきちゃきした気持ちのいい方でした)
まずはショップで海までの道筋やパドルの持ち方、ボードでのバランスの取り方等の説明を受けます。
この説明は陸上のみで海の中では教えてもらえませんので、しっかり聞いておかないと大変です。
地域の決まりでカイルアのパークと遊泳区域にツアーの車、ガイドが参加者を引き連れて入ることができないため、
海でSUPをする場合、初心者だろうが、遊泳区域のブイを越えたところまで自分1人でこいで行かなければならないとのことでした。
練習すらしてないのに、いきなり実践です。
なので絶対できるという強い気持ちでのぞむことが大切です。
とはいえ初心者でも、座って漕いでいる分にはとても安定しているので、ひっくり返るとかグラグラして進めないというようなことはありませんでした。
海につながるおだやかな川でボードに乗り、遊泳区域に着くと影武者と呼ばれるスタッフさんが沖に出られるようボードを押したりしてフォローしてくれます。
700m程沖合いの島まで、一列になって漕いで行きます。島までは45分程度かかりました。
上陸して休憩しますが、溶岩ですので、ケガをしないためにもビーサンよりマリンシューズで行く方がいいと思います。
ビーサンはボードの上では脱がなければなりませんが、シューズははいたままできます。
日焼けが気になる方は帽子、サングラス、ラッシュガード、トレンカが最強ですが、帽子とサングラスは飛ばないようにひも付きのものやグラスコードをした方がいいです。
帰りは15分程度で岸に到着します。
一旦ショップまでボードを持って帰り、各自ランチでその後自由時間です。
SUPは天候や参加者の意向等で海、川どちらでやるか決まるようです。
シャワーは外で水ですが、更衣室は4ブースありしっかり着替えを持参してもロッカーに入れておけます。
初めてのSUP、体育会系ではありましたが、その分達成感がありましたし、楽しかったです!
Dear Hilo,
Thank you for participating in the tour and for your comments. We appreciate your effort in keeping up with Mieko's athletic lessons. The fact that you were able to do SUP off Kailua means you can do it anywhere! Please have confidence and challenge yourself again.
When you come back to Hawaii, please visit us at Kailua Beach. We look forward to seeing you.
Sincerely,
Kailua Beach Adventures Japanese Staff
ハワイヒロ様
ツアーにご参加及びコメントのご記入ありがとうございました。
ミエコの体育会系レッスンについてきて頂きありがとうございます。
カイルア沖でSUPができたということは、もう、どこでもできます!自信をもってまたチャレンジしてみてください。
またハワイにお越しの際はカイルアビーチに遊びにいらして下さい。お待ち致しております。

Having brunch on the ocean is an experience that is quite rare in everyday life, so it became a wonderful memory. My husband also seemed very satisfied. Since I didn't have a rash guard, I purchased an original rash guard before entering the water. I thought it was a bit expensive, but it was the right choice since it was a little chilly. Unfortunately, when I washed it, the color of the original rash guard faded significantly and transferred to other items. I hope this can be improved.
海の上でブランチが食べれるというのは日常から考えるとなかなか出来ない体験なので良い思い出になりました。主人もとても満足した様子でした。ラッシュを持ってなかったので海に入る前にオリジナルラッシュを購入しました。若干高いなと思いましたが、少し寒かったので正解でした。残念だったのが洗濯するとオリジナルラッシュの色落ちが激しく、他のものに色移りします。これは改良されると良いなと思いました
Aloha! Thank you for joining the Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour. Thank you for purchasing the rash guard. I apologize for the color fading! Our staff also uses it, and we haven't heard of any color fading issues until now... We will work on improving the quality so you can enjoy it for a longer time. Thank you!
アロハ!キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーご参加ありがとうございました。
ラッシュガードご購入ありがとうございます。色落ちしたんですね!!すみません。スタッフももちろん愛用しており今まで色落ちの話は聞いたことなかったのですが。。。。
よりクオリティアップして長く愛用して頂けるようにしますね。ありがとうございました。
The clear sea sparkled beautifully under the bright sun, and the sandbar was lovely. Personally, I think it's worth experiencing at least once. For us, the short course was sufficient. It would have been even better if we could meet on-site. The bus was cold, and it can get chilly if the weather changes, so I recommend bringing a hoodie or something to wear. It might be better to enjoy it with a small group charter.
よく晴れていたので澄んだ海がキラキラ光ってサンドバーは綺麗でした。個人的にいけないので1度は体験しても良いかと思います。我々としてはショートコースで十分でした。現地集合できればもっと良かったですが。バスの中が寒かったり、天候が変わると寒いのでフーディなど羽織りものを持って行ったほうがいいと思います。
少人数チャーターで楽しむ方がいいかもしれません。
My first time parasailing‼️
I highly recommend this‼️
I suggest going for the higher altitude‼️
It's important to thoroughly check the voucher. There was an error with the meeting time, so I had to inquire about it. The local operator was slow to respond, and I was waiting for a while. Finally, two days before, I received a correction email, which was a relief.
I'm glad I didn't have to wait for an hour at a deserted harbor.
人生初のパラセーリング‼️
これはお勧め‼️
高度は高い方をお勧めです‼️
バウチャーはしっかり確認が必要です。集合時間に誤りがあり問い合わせをしました。現地催行会社に問い合わせ中とやらでなかなか返答がきませんでした。再度問い合わせ2日前にやっと訂正メールがあり一安心。
何もないハーバーで1時間も待つことにならず良かったぁ。
Since I made the reservation on the day of arrival... I couldn't predict the timing... and I caused quite a bit of inconvenience... but I am truly grateful! They changed the time for me, and I was able to enjoy parasailing! I chose a height of 150 meters! It was quite high, and the weather in Hawaii was perfect! Flying while looking down at Diamond Head and Waikiki Beach from above felt amazing (*^^*) For those who are not comfortable with heights... 150 meters might be a bit too high, so perhaps you could enjoy it at a lower height? It was really nice to fly while feeling the wind.
到着日に予約したため…時間が読めず…かなりご迷惑をおかけしてしまいましたが…
本当にありがたいことに!時間を変更していただき!パラセイリングを漫喫することができました!
高さは150mを選びました!
かなり高さがありハワイの海で~天気も最高!
ダイヤモンドヘッドにワイキキビ-チを上から眺めながらの飛行は!とっても気持ちが良かったです(*^^*)
高いのがダメな方は…150はちょっと高めかもしれないので…そのしたあたりで楽しんでみてはどうでしょうか?
風を感じながら飛行できるのは~
とても良かったです。
The meeting time was early in the morning, and from there we traveled over an hour by bus to the west side of Oahu, which was our destination. Although it was early, I was sleepy, but the guide's high energy and enjoyable, informative talk made the time fly, and we arrived at our destination in no time.
We boarded the boat and set off in search of dolphins with a cheerful crew. Along the way, we were healed by the untouched nature and beautiful sea of the west side, and when we spotted dolphins, we jumped in and swam around. The water was so clear that we could see them from a distance. When we found the dolphins, it was exhilarating, and the adrenaline kicked in, making us swim a lot.
Since we spent quite a bit of time with the dolphins, we didn't have time to search for sea turtles, but personally, I think that was fine. The crew was always trying to entertain us, so we enjoyed ourselves throughout the trip. On the way back to the port, we all did hula dancing on the boat, which was a fun way to end the day.
This tour allows you to fully enjoy Hawaii's great nature, so I recommend it to anyone who wants to experience Hawaii from a perspective away from the land.
朝早い集合時間で、そこからバスで1時間以上移動したオアフ島の西側が目的地でした。朝早いので眠かったですが、ガイドさんのテンションの高さと楽しく勉強になるトークであっと言う間に目的地に到着。
船に乗船して、陽気なクルーと共にイルカ探しに出発。
途中、西側の手付かずの自然と綺麗な海に癒されつつ、イルカが見つかると飛び込んで泳ぎまくり。海が綺麗なので遠くにいてもわかります。
イルカが見つかった時は感動と共にアドレナリンが出て、たくさん泳いでしまいますね。
イルカにかなりの時間を費やしたのでウミガメ探しはなくなりましたがそれはそれでよかったかなと個人的には思います。
クルーたちは何かと楽しませようとしているので、終始楽しめます。
帰港途中で船の上でみんなでフラダンスをして楽しく終わりました。
ハワイの大自然を満喫できるツアーでもあるので、陸から離れた視点でハワイを感じたい方にもオススメです。
He was a cheerful reggae-loving teacher who seemed a bit eccentric, but when the waves came, he switched to serious mode. When he told me to stand up, I surprisingly managed to ride the waves! There were no other students, so it ended up being a private lesson, and it seemed like time didn't matter; we only finished when I finally said I was tired! It was worth every penny!
陽気なレゲイ好きのちょっと怪しい先生だったけど、波がくると真剣モードで、先生が立てーって言って立つとなぜか不思議なくらい波に乗れました!!他に生徒はいなくて結局プライベートレッスンで、時間も関係無しなのかこっちが疲れたって言ってやっと終了したくらいでした!お値段以上です!
Dear mnm,
Thank you very much for your 5-star review. All of our lessons are private, so we do not mix unknown customers in group lessons, allowing for a fulfilling experience. The instructor is a very friendly staff member named Izah, who is quite proficient in Japanese. You can also request a specific staff member for your next visit, so please feel free to do so! (Of course, other instructors are also welcome!)
We look forward to your next visit!
mnm様:
5つ星の口コミ、誠に有難うございます。弊社のレッスンは全てプライべーどですので、知らないお客様を混ぜてグループレッスンは行っておりませので、充実してレッスンを受けることが出来ます。インストラクターは”アイザ”(IZAH)という名の者で、日本語もかなり出来るとてもフレンドリーなスタッフです。弊社のスタッフを指名する事も可能ですので、次回また参加になられる方は是非指名してください。(もちろん他のインストラクターでも構いませんが!)
またのお越しをお待ちしております!
My flight from Las Vegas was canceled, and my arrival date was pushed to the next day, but they handled everything politely. There was also a Japanese operator, which was very helpful.
ラスベガスからの飛行機がキャンセルになり、到着日が翌日になりましたが、丁寧に対応して頂きました。日本人のオペレータもおり、非常に助かりました。
当日は天気は良かったものの、
肝心のサンセットに雲がかかってしまい、、、
残念な結果に終わりました。
しかしながら、小さな船でのアクティビティのため、
船長が気軽に写真を撮ってくれるなど、
対応自体はとても良かったです!
日本人は僕らの他におらず、
終始 外国の気分を味わえたのは、
ハワイに 1週間いてこの船上だけでした。
他のツアーと比較した上で、
コチラに申し込むことに決めたのですが、
運次第ということを考えると、
お手軽に参加できるため、
このアクティビティがちょうどいいなと思いました。
I joined this tour because I wanted to see sea turtles and the reviews were good. I was picked up right near my hotel and taken to the port. After a short boat ride, we arrived at a sandbar! The view was amazing, and we played beach volleyball and ate hamburgers. Just when I thought it was over, we went sea turtle watching, then moved on to snorkeling. It was a highly satisfying optional tour!
ウミガメをみたくて口コミもよかったので参加しました。
ホテルのすぐ近くにでピックアップしてもらい港へ。船で少し進むとサンドバーが!
最高の景色でビーチバレーしてハンバーガー食べてもう終わりだっけ?と思ったらそのあとウミガメウオッチングしてさらに移動してシュノーケリングして満足度の高いオプショナルツアーでした!
I used the airport transfer service for the first time. I had to wait a little at the tour desk, and then I had to wait a bit more while moving to the pickup area, but I think it was acceptable considering the Hawaiian time. When I asked the driver about the pickup location for my return, they kindly informed me, and we met smoothly. I think it's a good idea for those using hotels where parking is difficult to check in advance. I chose this service from several tour companies, and I think it was a good choice.
空港送迎は初めて利用しました
ツアーデスクで少し待たされ、乗り場に移動し少し待たされ、でも、ハワイアンタイムという事で許容範囲かな。
ドライバーに帰りのピックアップの場所を確認したら愛想よく教えてくれて
スムーズに出会えました
車が停めにくいホテル利用の方は確認をした方が良いかと思います
いくつかのツアー会社の中から選びましたが良かったと思います。
It was great to see sea turtles and fish. However, it was disappointing that the sandbar was only about waist-deep in the water. The ocean, the scenery, and the instructors were all fantastic.
ウミガメ、魚も見れて良かったです。ただサンドバーが腰くらいまで海だったのが残念。海も景観もインストラクターの方々も最高だった。
