I rode a submarine for the first time. At first, I wasn't very enthusiastic about it, but once I got on, I surprisingly felt like a kid again, even as an adult. There were six of us participating, and just like others mentioned, none of us experienced seasickness, allowing us to enjoy the underwater world. I didn't expect that such a large submarine would have fish coming so close to us, so it was a very valuable experience. However, since we went straight to this optional activity after arriving in Hawaii, everyone ended up falling asleep towards the end. Next time, I want to participate with more leisure.
初めて潜水艦に乗りました。始めはあまり乗り気ではなかったのですが、乗ってみると意外と大人でも子供に戻るものなんですね。6人で参加したのですが、皆さんが書かれていたような船酔いも誰一人もなく海の世界を見ることができました。あんなに大きな潜水艦なのに、直ぐ近くまで魚達が寄ってくるとは思っていませんでしたので、とても貴重な体験でした。しかし今回はハワイに着いた足でそのまま、今回のオプショナルに参加したせいか、みんな最後の方には、寝てしまっていました。次回はもっと余裕を持って参加したいものです。

I participated with my mother. I chose this experience because I wanted to show her the beauty of the ocean in Hawaii, even though she is not good at swimming. I was worried about the boat ride from the shore to the submarine since I am not good with boats, but I was able to move to the deck twice along the way, so I didn't get seasick. The submarine itself was stable and reassuring.
However, I was a bit disappointed that there were fewer fish than I expected. But it was worth it because my mother was happy.
母と二人で参加しました。泳ぐのが苦手な母にハワイの海の綺麗さを見せたくて選びました。私は船が苦手なので沖から潜水艦までの船の移動が心配でしたが、途中で二回の船上へ移動することが出来たので酔ったりしませんでした。潜水艦自体も揺れが無く安心でした。
ただ、思ったより魚が少なくって残念でした。でも母が喜んでくれたので行って良かったです。

Even elementary school students who found just Waikiki Beach and shopping insufficient were satisfied to go to the bottom of the sea in a real submarine. It's conveniently located for boarding, and it was great to participate as it also healed our tired bodies.

I participated with my children.
There was a mishap where I accidentally forgot the date I had reserved, but when I inquired over the phone in my broken English, they kindly allowed me to join on another day, and I was able to enjoy a fun sailing experience.
(Thank you very much!!)
Some people were lying on the net stretched out at the front of the yacht and having a great time.
I also got to take a commemorative photo with the cool captain.
The female staff were very kind and helpful.
For those interested, you can purchase a DVD with many edited photos taken on the boat.
For small children, they provide life jackets, which is reassuring.
When boarding, the water can be up to your knees, so sandals are recommended.
I would love to participate again if I have the opportunity! ☆
子供連れで参加しました。
予約していた日をうっかり忘れてすっぽかしてしまうハプニングがあったのですが
電話で拙い英語で問い合わせてみると快く他の日に参加できるようにして下さり
無事楽しいセーリングに参加する事ができました。
(有難うございました!!)
ヨットの前の方に張ってあるネットで寝転んで楽しんでおられる方もいました。
あとカッコイイ船長さんと記念写真も撮ってもらえました。
女性のスタッフも親切に対応してくれました。
希望者には船上で撮ったたくさんの写真を編集したDVD?を購入する事ができます。
小さな子どもさんには ライフジャケットをつけてもらえるので安心です。
乗り込むときは足元が膝くらいまで濡れてしまいますのでサンダルがおススメです。
又機会がありましたら参加してみたいです☆

This was my first experience on a submarine, and the tour is designed in such a way that even those who can't scuba dive or snorkel can fully appreciate the beauty and mystery of the underwater world. It starts off slowly and gradually, but right after submerging, the view of the shimmering water surface from below is stunningly beautiful. At times, it feels so mystical that you might even question whether you're underwater or in the sky, with colorful fish that seem to be flying.
There are also areas where boats and planes serve as artificial reefs, and you can see a particularly wide variety of fish there. While I didn't see any sharks, I was able to spot sea turtles quite well. The guide's Japanese was entertaining, and the pamphlet provided for following along with the live commentary was clear and well-made.
One thing to note is that the shuttle ride to board the submarine can make you feel seasick, so if you're worried about that, it's a good idea to bring motion sickness medication. Also, the air conditioning inside the submarine is very effective (especially at your feet), so I recommend using the restroom before boarding and wearing pants instead of shorts.
潜水艦は初めてでしたが、スキューバやシュノーケルが出来ない人でも海の中の美しさや神秘さまでもが充分に伝わるツアーになっていますよ。段階的にゆっくりと始まるのですが、沈んだ直後に海中から見える水面がきらきらと美しく、途中ここは海なのか空なのか錯覚するくらいに神秘的で、色とりどりの魚たちがまるで空を飛んでいるようにも感じる時が何度もありました。
船や飛行機が人工のサンゴ礁の変わりになっているところもあり、そこでは特にたくさんの種類の魚たちが見ることが出来ます。サメは見られませんでしたが海亀もしっかりと見ることが出来ました。ガイドの方の日本語がおもしろおかしく、ライブ中継を聞きながら確認できるように配られたパンプレットもわかりやすくよく出来ていました。注意点としては、潜水艦に乗り込むまでのシャトルで船酔いしそうになるので心配な方は酔い止めを用意したほうがいいことと、潜水艦内の冷房が大変よく利いている(特に足元)ので、潜水艦乗船前のシャトルではトイレは済ませ短パンではなくズボンを履いていったほうがいいと思います。

I think it can be enjoyed by anyone, regardless of age. It's safe, and the explanations and guidance are provided in a thorough manner, so I think it's better to have a Japanese guide. The interior of the ship was not as cramped as I had imagined, and I didn't feel concerned about my neighbors. I was able to see rays swimming gracefully and many turtles in the relaxed sea. As a note, since there are steep stairs to go up and down, it's advisable for women to wear pants. If you are prone to seasickness, it's definitely better to take motion sickness medication.
年齢問わず誰にでも楽しめると思います。安全ですし。説明や案内も丁寧にしてくれくるので日本語ガイドの時がいいと思います。艦内は思っていたよりも狭くなく、隣が気になるような事はありませんでした。エイが優雅に泳いでいたり亀が沢山いたりゆったりとした海の中を見る事ができました。注意事項としては急な階段を上り下りなので女性はズボン着用が望ましいです。船酔いする方は酔い止めは必ず飲まれたほうがいいですよ。

I participated with my 3-year-old child on February 10th. As expected, I got seasick on the boat to the submarine, which was quite tough. The travel time was about 10 minutes, but including the transfer time for other groups, we had about 15 to 20 minutes of docking time near the submarine, and I felt nauseous during that time as well. There are only two toilets on that boat, so I recommend using the restroom at the hotel before boarding. (Also, entering that toilet made me feel even more nauseous due to the cramped, sealed space.)
I was expecting to see colorful corals and fish inside the submarine, but perhaps because it was deep underwater or due to the lack of light, everything appeared to be a bluish color. This was unexpected and quite disappointing. At the five points we visited, there were many fish at the last point, but the others were rather lackluster. It was different from what I had imagined, and I felt sad and got more seasick than I expected, making it a tough tour. However, I think riding the submarine was a good experience, but once is enough.
2/10に3歳の子供と参加しました。
やはり、潜水艦までの船で酔ってしまい、かなりツラかったです。
移動時間は10分位ですが、他のグループの乗り換え時間などを含めると、潜水艦の近くでの停泊時間が15分~20分近くあり、その間も気持ち悪くなってしまいました。
トイレがその船に2個しかないので、ホテルで済ませるのをお勧めします。
(また、そのトイレに入ると、密閉された狭い空間の為、さらに酔ってしまいました。)
潜水艦の中は、色とりどりのサンゴや、魚を期待したのですが、深く潜ってる為?光が届かないせいか?魚もサンゴもすべて、青っぽい色にしか見えませんでした。
コレが予想外で、かなり悲しかったです。
魚も5つのポイントでは、最後のポイントはたくさん魚がいましたが、他はいまいちな感じでした。
ちょっと、思っていたものとは違い、悲しかったし、予想以上に酔ってしまい、ツライツアーでした。
でも、潜水艦に乗れたのは、良い経験だったと思いますが、1回乗れば十分。という感じでした。

It seems that many people get seasick on the boat to the submarine. I had taken motion sickness medication in advance, so I had a great time, but many others looked pale and unwell. I had thought there would be lots of fish in the sea, but there were only many around the old shipwreck reef. I was really glad to see various fish and turtles!

I decided to participate after seeing comments about the submarine and really wanted to experience it. I have a scuba diving license, but my wife and children can't dive, so I wanted to show them the underwater world of Hawaii.
I joined the 9 AM tour. While waiting at the meeting point near our hotel, a trolley bus with a blue ocean pattern arrived, and they provided guidance in Japanese.
We arrived at the Hilton Hotel by bus. We then went to a nearby pier and boarded the boat there. I was worried because there were comments about the boat rocking, but the sea was calm that day. However, they did explain about the motion sickness bags, so it might rock at times.
The boat was comfortable, and after about 10 minutes, we learned about the submarine. Along the way, we were able to see whales, which thrilled the kids.
Finally, we boarded the submarine. I wanted to sit at the front to see the cockpit, so I lined up. There were entrances at the front and back of the submarine, and we descended via a ladder. By chance, I was able to sit at the front.
As soon as we boarded, we saw a school of fish. The windows were large, and the seats were spacious and comfortable. As we began to dive, we saw even more types of fish, and passing through several reefs, we also spotted turtles and sharks. My wife and children were overjoyed, and I was excited watching it all.
The day before, we had visited the aquarium and snorkeled at Hanauma Bay, so we were thrilled to recognize the fish we had seen there.
I lost track of time because I was so excited, but it felt like about 50 minutes flew by.
On the way back, they dropped us off at designated places like the Ala Moana Shopping Center and our hotel.
Overall, it was an incredible experience.
潜水艦のコメントを見てぜひ乗りたいと思って参加しました。私はスキューバのライセンスを持っているのですが、妻と子供たちはもぐることができないので、ハワイの海の中を見せたいと思いました。
朝9時のツアーに参加しました。宿泊ホテル近くの集合場所で待っていると、青い海の模様をしたトロリーバスが来て日本語で案内してくれました。
バスでヒルトンホテルに到着。すぐ近くの桟橋に行き、そこで船に乗船しました。船が揺れるとのコメントがあったので心配しましたが、この日は穏やかでした。ただ、エチケット袋の説明があったので揺れることもあるのかもしれません。
船も快適で、10分程度で潜水艦についてのですが、途中、鯨も見ることができ、子供は感激していました。
いよいよ潜水艦に乗り込みましたが、前のほうに座ってコックピットも見たいと思ってならんでいました。潜水艦の前後に出入り口があり、はしごで降りていくのですが、前後に振り分けられてたまたま前のほうに座ることができました。
乗るとすぐに魚の群れが見られました。窓も大きく、席もゆったりしていて快適でした。もぐり始めるとさらに、魚の種類が増え、いくつかの漁礁を通ると、かめやさめなども見ることができました。妻と子供は大喜び。私も興奮してみていました。
前日に水族館やハナウマ湾のシュノーケリングをして、魚たちを見ていたので、この魚は水族館にいたとかハナウマ湾で見たとか大盛り上がりでした。
興奮していて時間がわかりませんが50分程度の時間があっという間でした。
帰りは、アラモアナショッピングセンターや宿泊ホテルなど指定場所まで送ってくれました。
とにかく感激でした。

I encountered schools of tropical fish and sea turtles, which was a wonderful experience for the family, including children, seniors, and those who can't swim, as we enjoyed an unknown world. However, the journey to board the submarine was quite challenging. The boat from the Sheraton was very rocky, and out of our family of eight, four members got seasick. The motion sickness medicine we bought on board took a while to work (which is to be expected), and unfortunately, some ended up getting sick. If you are prone to motion sickness, be sure to take medicine beforehand. (It might be safer for those who don't usually get sick to take it as well...)
熱帯魚の群れや、海亀にも出逢え、子供と高齢者+泳げない大人数人を含む家族にとっては、未知なる世界が楽しめ、大変よかったのですが・・・
とにもかくにも、潜水艦に乗り込むまでの道のりが苦難の旅(?)でした。
シェラトンからのボートが揺れる揺れる・・・で家族8名のうち4名が船酔いし、船中で買った酔い止め薬も効き目が遅く(当たり前だが)、戻してしまう有様(トホホ)。

I run a creator management company located in Ebisu. This was my seventh visit to Oahu (I think?) to attend a colleague's wedding.
On the day before the ceremony, Saturday, October 28, we made a reservation for the 9:00 AM submarine tour, which two male employees attended. Based on a strong recommendation from a registered staff member who is also a commercial director, saying "You absolutely must ride the submarine," we booked without hesitation.
On the day of the tour, a shuttle bus picked us up near the hotel and took us to the yacht harbor next to the Hilton Hotel. After about a 10-minute ride on a boat that can hold around 80 people, we were greeted by two submarines ready for the 9:00 and 10:00 AM tours. (The boat had a restroom, but we were told, "If you need to go, please do it here," which added a bit of tension.) The sea was calm that day, but those prone to seasickness might find it easier to get sick on the boat than in the submarine. It’s recommended to go out on the deck and feel the wind. (The middle of the boat is said to be less prone to seasickness.)
Once we reached the site, several cheerful crew members welcomed us aboard the submarine, which was already prepared. Inside, there was more space than I expected; there was a single row of seats back-to-back, accommodating about 35 people each (a total of 70).
Then we began our descent. The submarine moved slowly, rather than quickly diving down. The underwater scenery was honestly a bit murky due to plankton, but as we progressed, we encountered airplanes, sunken ships, turtles, sharks, divers, and of course, many tropical fish. Each time we saw something, there were exclamations of awe. It was a lot of fun since we could take photos too. (The guide mentioned that we were lucky to see so much.)
If I had to wish for something, it would be a bit more speed to make it more exciting, but I think that wouldn’t be an issue for couples. After all, it’s just two guys, right? (The beautiful mother and daughter sitting next to us seemed to enjoy it very much as well. I hope to see them again!)
On the way back, we had the option to take a shuttle bus to Ala Moana Shopping Center, which was very thoughtful. For those looking to add a little variety to their Oahu experience, this attraction comes highly recommended. The boat and submarine both had Japanese-speaking guides. Mahalo!

社員の結婚式に参列する為に7回目(?)のオアフ島でした。
式前日の10月28日(土)に9:00からの回を、男性社員二人で予約し参加。事前に、CMディレクターでもある登録スタッフの方の「絶対、潜水艦にのるべき」との強い推薦もあり、迷わず予約していました。
当日は、迎えのバスがホテル近くまできて、ヒルトンホテル横のヨットハーバーへ。
そこから沖まで80名くらいが乗れる船で約10分ほどいくと、9:00と10:00から用の潜水艦2隻がお出迎え。(その船はトイレがありますが、「ここで行く方はいってください」とあおられてちょっと緊張感が走ります。)
この日は波もなく静かでしたが、酔い易い人は潜水艦よりも、この船で酔ってしまうとのこと。船のデッキに出て風にあたりましょう。(船の真ん中が酔わないそうですよ)
沖につくと、にこやかな笑顔のクルー数名が甲板にのった潜水艦が、既に準備万端で、順番に船から潜水艦にのり込んでいきます。中は思ったよりスペースがあり、
背中合わせに1列のみのシートですが、35名づつくらい(合計70名)座れます。
そして潜水開始。あまりスピード感はなく、むしろゆっくり潜り、進む感じです。
海の中の景色は、正直プランクトンでちょっと白っぽいなぁという感想ですが、
少し進むと、飛行機やら沈没船やら亀やら鮫やらダイバーやら・・・、もちろん沢山の熱帯魚も、いろんなものに遭遇できました。その都度おーと上がる歓声。写真も取れるのでとっても楽しいです。(ガイドさん曰くは、このはラッキーといっていましたが)
欲を言えば、もうちょっとスピードがあると楽しいそうですが、それは、カップルならば問題なしだと思います。やっぱり男二人ではね・・・。笑
隣に座り合わせてお話した美人親子もとても満喫してましたね。

帰りは、アラモアナショッピングセンターへの送りバスも選べて、とっても親切。

You board a boat from the coast and transfer to a submarine offshore. There are staff members who speak Japanese, so you can feel at ease even if you don't speak English. The pamphlet you receive at the pickup location is also in Japanese.
When you board the boat, they take your picture, which is sold for $20 when you return from the submarine. It's fine whether you choose to buy it or not. On the boat, you can go out onto the deck. The view is very nice, making it a perfect photo spot.
The underwater scenery in Hawaii is very beautiful, and I was able to see fish and sea turtles. The explanations inside the submarine are in English, so those who want to listen carefully might feel a bit dissatisfied.
When I made my reservation, it was initially canceled due to weather, but I was able to rebook on-site and successfully board the submarine. You can rebook at the local counter or by phone (the reservation ticket has the phone number). It's fine to do this in Japanese.

However, a point to note is that the number of boats with crew members who provide explanations in Japanese is limited, so I recommend checking the schedule if you're not comfortable with English.

The sunset cruising on the day we arrived in Hawaii was fantastic for our family of four (two children in the second and fourth grades and my wife).
Benefit 1: It's safe for children. We dressed the kids in marine boots to prevent slipping and in towel-like clothing (a cover-up for the poolside). When boarding the yacht, they splashed in the sea up to their knees before climbing the ladder. Be careful with sneakers as they won't dry by the next morning. The boat can sway, so marine boots are recommended to avoid slipping. When the kids board, the crew members lift them up, which is reassuring. My second daughter, in the second grade, was on the net of ropes stretched in front of the mast of the catamaran. Below the rope net is the sea itself. When a few waves came, the yacht swayed, splashing water, and she happily went towards the splashes, saying it was like a roller coaster. I thought the drinks were free, but when I ordered a special cocktail with the yacht's design, it was $4. It's quite a large serving, so sharing one between two people might be better. It's a sweet tropical cocktail. By the way, all the explanations were in English. I didn't understand much, but since we were just on board, it wasn't a problem.
Benefit 2: Jet lag countermeasure. Even if you can sleep on the flight from Narita, it's only for 3-4 hours, so by the time we arrived in Hawaii around 3 PM, we started to feel tired. If you fall asleep here, you won't be able to have dinner, and you'll feel sleepy again the next afternoon. However, activities that require physical movement can be a bit tough, and activities that involve bus transfers make you fall asleep right away. So, we participated in this cruising. We enjoyed the view of Diamond Head, a symbol of Hawaii, from the yacht, felt the cool breeze and ocean spray, and had a little cocktail. After that, we slowly watched the sunset and arrived at the beach at dusk. This time we stayed at the Royal Hawaiian, and since Halekulani is right next door, we had dinner there before returning to the hotel. I recommend it for those staying in Waikiki. This was my second time on board, but there were still mostly foreigners, which added to the foreign atmosphere. Personally, I love yachts, so this was the best activity during our time in Hawaii.
ハワイ到着当日のアクティーとして最高。家族4人(小学2年と小学4年の子ども二人と家内)でサンセットクルージングに参加しました。メリット1.子どもでも安心して乗れます。子どもの服装は、滑らないようにマリンブーツを履かせ、タオル地の服(プールサイドで着る上着)にしました。ヨットに乗るときにも膝くらいまでバシャバシャ海に入ってから、ラダーを登ります。運動靴だと翌朝までに乾かないので注意。船は揺れることがあるので、すべって転ばないようにマリンブーツの方がお勧めです。子どもが乗船するときには、クルーのお兄さんが抱き上げて連れて行ってくれるので安心。小学2年の次女は双胴船のマスト前方に張ってあるロープの網の上に乗っていました。ロープの網の下はすぐ海そのもの。少し波がくると、ヨットが揺れ、ザブーンとしぶきがかかり、「ジェットコースターのようでおもしろい」と自分からしぶきのかかる方へ行き大満足。フリードリンクかなーっと思っていましたが、ヨットの模様がついている特製カクテルを頼んだところ4ドルでした。かなり量があるので、2人で1つ取った方がよいかも。甘いトロピカルカクテルです。ちなみに、説明は全て英語。殆ど分かりませんでしたが、乗っているだけなので問題なし。メリット2.時差ぼけ対策。成田からの飛行機では寝られても3~4時間なので、ハワイについて午後3時頃になると疲れが出てきます。ここで寝てしまうと夕食も取れないし、また明日も午後に眠くなったしまいます。でも、体を動かすアクティーはちょっと大変だし、バスで移動するアクティーはすぐに寝てしまいます。そこで、このクルージングに参加。ハワイのシンボル(?)ダイアモンドヘッドをヨットから眺め、涼しい風とオーシャンシャワー(波しぶき)をあびて、カクテルをちょっとだけも飲みます。その後、サンセットをゆっくりみた後、夕暮れのビーチに到着。今回はロイヤルハワイアンに泊まったのですが、すぐ隣がハレクラニなので、そこで夕食をとりホテルへ戻りました。ワイキキにお泊まりの方にはお勧めです。今回が2回目の乗船ですが日本人にはまだあってません。外人さんばっかりで、外国気分にもひたれていい感じです。私は個人的にヨットが好きなので、今回のハワイの中で最高のアクティでした。

We participated in the 10:00 session on August 15th with our family of four (two children). The pickup arrived almost on time, and the shuttle with the blue submarine pattern, as listed on the Atlantis website, was there. Perhaps because it was a Japanese group, the staff member in a sailor-like uniform spoke fluent Japanese. After handing over the voucher, we headed to the Hilton pier. After a group photo (one photo for $20), we boarded the shuttle boat. It was quite rocky, and some people seemed to get seasick, but our family was all energetic, enjoying the view of the sea from the second deck when a staff member took our picture.
Since there were many participants, three submarines were waiting offshore. First, those with yellow tickets transferred to the submarine. Our red tickets were for the second submarine, which was fully booked with 48 seats. The guide was very good at Japanese and explained everything while incorporating jokes. We saw sea turtles and spent 40 minutes peering through the round windows at many fish without getting bored. Especially since we were the last to transfer from the shuttle to the submarine, we got to sit in the front seat right behind the control room, allowing us to see the cockpit, and the guide took pictures of us inside the submarine. It was a very enjoyable 40 minutes.
Our family was completely satisfied!! Thank you, Alan-chan!!!
8月15日10:00の回に家族4人(子供2人)で参加しました。
ピックアップはほぼ時間通りに、アトランティスのHPにも載っている青いサブマリンの模様のシャトルが到着。日本人の回だったためか、アトランティスのセーラーのような制服を着たスタッフさんは日本語ペラペラ。バウチャーを渡して、いざヒルトンの桟橋へ。グループ毎の記念撮影(1枚$20です)の後、シャトルボートに乗船。結構揺れるので酔っている人もいらした様ですが、我が家はみんな元気に2階のデッキで海を眺めていると、スタッフのお兄さんが写真を撮ってくださいました。
参加者が多かったので、沖には3隻のサブマリンがスタンバイ。まず、黄色チケットの方からサブマリンに横付けして乗り換えです。我が家の赤チケットは2隻目、48席満席でした。ガイドのおじさんは日本語がお上手で、冗談も取り入れながら、説明してくださいました。海がめも見れたし、たくさんの魚達に40分間飽きることなく丸い窓をのぞきこんでいました。特に、シャトルからサブマリンへの乗換えが一番最後だったので、操縦席のすぐ後ろの1番前の席に座れたので、操縦席も見れたし、ガイドの方に艦内で写真を撮ってもらったりもして、とても楽しい40分間でした。
家族一同、大満足!!アランちゃん、ありがとう!!!

Our family took our first submarine trip together. The kids, who had never seen the ocean floor before, were so excited! Our guide was Japanese and provided clear explanations, so I highly recommend it. I read in a review that if you sit in the back of the submarine, you can get a seat in the very front, so we did just that. We were able to sit right behind the cockpit and had a great view through the large front window. According to the kids, they also saw 14 sea turtles!
親子ともども初めての潜水艦。海底を見たことのない子供達は大はしゃぎ!10時の日本人ガイドさんだったので説明もわかりやすくオススメです。書き込みに「潜水艦に最後に乗ると一番前に座れる」とあったので、そのとおりに実行。操縦席の真後ろに座れて先頭の大きな窓からもよく見えて最高でした。子供達によると海亀14匹も見れたそうです。

My parents participated. Since they didn't even bring swimsuits to Hawaii, they were very satisfied to see sea turtles, sharks, and tropical fish up close without getting wet. They were quite excited when they returned. I'm glad we chose this tour. It seems they saw more fish than I did while diving, which is a bit frustrating for me...
両親が参加しました。ハワイに水着すら持ってこない両親なので、濡れずに、海亀やサメやトロピカルフィッシュを間近で沢山見れて、大変満足していました。戻って来た時はかなり興奮していました。このツアーを選んで良かったと思います。私がダイビングで見たよりも沢山の魚を見たようなので、悔しいですが・・・。

Joining was definitely the right choice! First of all, we were blessed with great weather and sea conditions. The visibility was excellent♪ We saw turtles, unique Hawaiian fish, and corals… The guide was also very good at explaining things, making it feel like a perfect opportunity for my son's science project.
If I had to mention something, it doesn't matter what order you board the boat to the submarine, but if you board the submarine last, you'll get to sit in the front row facing the direction of travel… you can really feel like a pilot☆
もう参加して大正解!!まずよかったのは天気にも
海の状態にも恵まれたこと。透明度は最高♪亀やら
ハワイ特有の魚や珊瑚など…ガイドのお姉さんも説
明上手で息子の理科の自由研究に頂きっていう感じ
です。
しいていえば潜水艦までの船への乗船はどういう
順でも構わないけど 潜水艦には一番最後に乗った

I boarded a 48-passenger submarine. I took the blue shuttle from the hotel to the ferry dock in front of Hilton Hawaiian Village. At the dock, we took a group photo (which is later sold for $20). Once on the ferry, we arrived at the diving point off Waikiki, where the submarine surfaced with white bubbles.
Holding onto the handrails tightly, I boarded the submarine. As I took my seat and peered through the round window, I was greeted by a large school of jackfish. The pamphlet mentioned that there would be an English guide, but perhaps because there were many Japanese guests, we had a Japanese guide instead. As we descended, colorful fish swam around the reef in abundance. At the shipwreck point, we spotted a sea turtle. To top it off, we encountered a group from a diving tour. It felt just like being in a dragon palace. Time flew by in an instant. On the return shuttle, since we could choose our destination, I got off at Ala Moana Shopping Center to do some shopping. It was a very satisfying day.
48人乗りの潜水艦に乗りました。
ホテルからブルーの送迎シャトルに乗り込み、ヒルトン・ハワイアン・ビレッジ前の連絡船桟橋へ。桟橋でグループごとの記念撮影(後で$20で売ってる)。連絡船に乗りワイキキ沖の潜水ポイントにつくと、白い泡と共に潜水艦が浮上してくる。
手すりにしっかりと捕まりながら乗船。席に着き丸い窓から海中を覗くと鰺の大群に出迎えられる。パンフでは、英語ガイドの時間帯だったけど、日本人が多いためか日本語ガイドだ。潜航していくと魚礁の周りには色鮮やかな魚たちがこれでもかというほど泳いでる。沈船のポイントでは、ウミガメ登場。おまけにダイビングツアーのご一行とも遭遇。まるで竜宮城気分。あっという間に時が過ぎてしまった。帰りのシャトルでは、目的地が選べたのでアラモアナ・ショッピングセンターで降りてお買い物。大満足の1日です。

I made a reservation for the 9 AM tour and boarded a dedicated trolley at the bus stop in front of the hotel to head to the dock at Hilton Hawaiian Village. Once on the shuttle boat to the submarine, it was quite rocky, possibly due to the waves. After about 10 minutes, we arrived at the offshore submarine docking point, and passengers were divided among three submarines. Since we couldn't board each submarine directly, those boarding the third submarine had to wait nearly 30 minutes after leaving the port. On the way back, it was the reverse; passengers from the first submarine had to stay on the shuttle boat until the other two submarines surfaced and picked up their passengers, so it took longer than expected. Additionally, the shuttle boat swayed much more once we were offshore compared to when we were in the harbor, so those prone to seasickness should definitely take motion sickness medication. While I've mentioned some downsides, the experience after boarding the submarine and diving was absolutely amazing. The world visible through the windows was unlike anything I had ever seen, and even I, who usually hardly takes photos, found myself continuously pressing the shutter. Furthermore, the guide on my submarine provided explanations in Japanese, filled with jokes and lessons about the ocean, making the time fly by. While there is a risk of seasickness, I believe the rewards far outweigh it. I highly recommend it!!
朝9時の回を予約し、ホテル前のバス停で専用トロリーに乗り込みヒルトンハワイアンビレッジの船着き場へ向かいました。潜水艦へのシャトルボートに乗り込むと波があるせいか結構揺れました。10分ほどで沖合の潜水艦停泊ポイントに到着し、乗客は3隻の潜水艦に分かれて乗り込むのですが、それぞれの潜水艦に横付けしないと乗り込めないため、3隻めの潜水艦に乗る人は港を出てから30分近くかかってします。帰りはその逆で1隻めの潜水艦の乗客は残り2隻が浮上してそれらの乗客をピックアップするまでシャトルボートに乗っていなければならないので、思ったよりは時間がかかります。またシャトルボートは沖合に出たら港にいるときと比べ物にならないくらいに揺れるので船酔いしやすい人は酔い止め薬が必須でしょう。と、マイナス面ばかり書きましたが、潜水艦に乗り込んで潜行してからはすばらしい体験の連続です。窓から見える世界はこれまでに見たことのないもので、普段ほとんど写真を撮らない私ですらひっきりなしにシャッターを押してしまうほどでした。また、私の乗った潜水艦はガイドさんが日本語でいろいろと説明してくれて、ジョークあり海についてのお勉強ありで、とにかくあっという間に時間が過ぎました。船酔いというリスクはありますが、それを補って余りあるリターンがあると思います。絶対おすすめです!!

I participated in the Atlantis Premium Submarine Tour. This tour is different from scuba diving, as you can enjoy a diving experience safely and easily. You take a boat to the submarine that is anchored offshore, but it can be a bit rocky on the way, so those who are prone to motion sickness might want to take some medication beforehand. It's really great for families and couples!
アトランティスプレミアムサブマリンツアーに参加しました。
このツアーはスキューバーダイビングと異なり、安全に気軽に潜水ツアーを楽しめます。
沖に停泊している潜水艦までは船で行くのですが、そこに行くまでは揺れるため、弱い人は酔い止めを飲んでいった方がよさそうです。
ファミリーやカップルには本当によいですよ~!

We opted for a submarine tour since our parents couldn't dive. We were able to see many beautiful fish, which was very soothing. However, just watching and the fact that there were many of the same fish left us with the impression that it wouldn't hold our attention for a long time.
ダイビングができない親たちのために、潜水艦ツアーにしました。きれいな魚たちを沢山みることができて癒されました。でも、見ているだけなことと、同じ魚が多いということで、長い時間はもたないな、という印象です。

I thought I would want to ride a yacht when I saw the blue ocean in Hawaii, so I made a reservation in advance. I told my companions that being in the sun would quickly alleviate any jet lag, using it as an excuse to choose this activity on the first day. The deep blue of the ocean, the refreshing breeze, and the strong sun were beautiful even in the evening. What surprised me was that the majority of the passengers were Americans, or rather, white people. They were lively and cheerful, which lifted my spirits and made me feel very happy. I had planned to enjoy the sunset while relaxing. Well, this is part of the journey. By the way, the check-in was on the sandy beach of Waikiki, which was somewhat confusing, and I felt a bit anxious about whether I was in the right place. Also, having to go barefoot was different from a regular cruise. Since it was a small boat, there was a toilet, but it was almost like there wasn't one. I wouldn't say I'm a boat enthusiast, but you won't find a yacht with such high cost performance anywhere else.
ハワイの青い海を見たらヨットに乗りたくなるだろうなと思っていたので事前に予約しておきました。太陽に当たれば時差ぼけもすぐに解消すると同行者に言ってこのアクティビティを初日に選ぶ口実にしました。期待通りの海の藍さと風の爽快さ、強い太陽も夕方だから綺麗。予想と違ったのは、アメリカ人というか白人が乗客の大半だったこと。ワイワイがやがやと明るいこと、明るいこと、気持ちが高ぶってとても楽しい気分になりました。予定は、夕陽を見ながらたそがれようかと思っていたのでした。まあ、これも旅か。そうそう、ワイキキビーチの砂浜でチェックインなのでなんとなくわかりにくく、これでいいのかと少々不安だったことと、裸足にならないといけないことが普通のクルーズと違うことでしょうか。小さな船だからトイレはあるけどないようなもんかな。船好きだからというわけではないけれど、こんなにコストパフォーマンスが高いヨットもないですよ。

This time, I participated in the sunset cruise. I have been on various boats in the past, but the best part of this cruise was how close we were to the sea! You can really feel the surface of the water and the waves right there. The boat has seats, but at the front, there’s just a sturdy net stretched out, and you can see the water below you from there, allowing you to sit directly on it. At first, it’s a bit scary, but once you get used to it, it feels really nice, and I highly recommend it. However, be careful if you sit at the very front, as you might get splashed by the waves (^^).
I usually get seasick, but I didn’t feel any motion sickness at all on this open, breezy cruise.
For those who will participate in the future, here’s some information:
- You board the boat directly from the sandy beach, so your feet will get wet. It’s better to wear shoes that you don’t mind getting wet.
- It can be hot when the sun is out, but it gets chilly on the way back. I think it’s a good idea to bring a long-sleeve shirt.
- On the way back, there’s a place to wash your feet before entering the hotel from the beach. Having a towel is convenient.
- As for the restroom... it takes some courage to use it. The restroom door is a bit see-through, so I think it’s better for women to assume there isn’t one.
- Alcohol is served, so you’ll be asked to show something that proves your age before boarding. It might be handy to bring a copy of your passport.
今回はサンセットクルーズの方に参加しました。
クルーズは、過去にも大小とりどりの船に乗ったことがありますが、このクルーズでの一番のよかったところは「海が近い!」。海面と波がすぐそこに感じられます。船にはいすはありますが、前の方には、床というか底というか、丈夫な網が張られただけで、見下ろすと海面が見える場所があり、そこに直接座れるようになっています。最初は怖いですが、これが慣れるとかなり気持ちがよく、お薦めです。但し、本当に前の方に座ると、波を直接浴びることもありますのでご用心ください(^^)。
私は、船には弱い方ですが、この開放感あふれ、風が気持ちのよいクルーズでは全く船酔いしませんでした。
今後参加される方のための情報として、
・船に乗るのは砂浜から直接乗りますので、足が水につかります。
ぬれてもいい靴を履いていった方がいいです。
・日が出ているときは暑いですが、帰りは冷えます。長袖は持参した方がいいと思います。
・帰り、浜辺からホテルの中に入る際に、足を洗う場所があります。タオル1枚あると便利です。
・トイレ。。。ここに入るには勇気がいります。トイレのドアは少々透けていますので、女性の方はトイレはないものと思っていた方がいいと思います。
・アルコールが出るので、乗船前に年齢がわかるものを見せるよう言われます。
パスポートのコピーとか持っていくと、便利かもしれません。

Yesterday, I had my first experience sailing. I wanted to write about it while the excitement was still fresh.
First, I handed my voucher to the blonde lady at the reception and checked in smoothly. This lady was quite beautiful, I must say. Since we were departing from the beach, beach sandals are better than regular shoes. By the way, I made the mistake of wearing regular shoes... (^。^;) I heard there were 48 participants today, and I thought, "Wait, can 48 people fit on this?" But surprisingly, there was plenty of room, and it felt like we could still fit more.
The instructor was very energetic, and with some drinks involved, the atmosphere was really lively. It's amazing how the boat moves just with the wind. Seeing Oahu from the sea is not bad at all, especially with the nice breeze.
It seems like not many Japanese people know about this, but it's a hidden gem. If you're looking for a place without many Japanese people, this is definitely an option. Of course, I think you can still have a great time even if there are Japanese people around.
Also, I really want you to try the restroom! The restroom is truly amazing. You'll understand once you go in.
The price is really reasonable, and I highly recommend it!
昨日、セーリング初体験しました。
興奮冷めないうちに 書き込みしてみました。
まずは受付の金髪のお姉さんにバウチャーを渡し、すんなりチェックイン
このお姉さんはかなり美人!!だとおもわれます。
海岸から出発なので、普通の靴よりはビーチサンダルのが
よいですね。ちなみに自分は普通の靴で失敗したのですが。。(^。^;)
今日の参加人数は48人と聞き 「え??48人乗れるの?」
とおもったのですが、ところがどっこい余裕で乗れまだ乗れるじゃないか
って感じでした。
インストラクターもテンション高く、酒も入ってきてかなり盛り上がりました。
風だけで船って動くもんなんすね。。
オアフ島を海から見るってのも悪くないです。しかも風が気持ちいいんです。
日本人にはあまり知られてないみたいですけど
これは穴ですよ。。日本人いないとこ選ぶならここは選択肢の一つです。
もちろん日本人がいても同様に楽しめるとおもいますけどね~
あとは是非トイレに挑戦してもらいたい!!
トイレはほんとすごいんです。 入ってみたらわかります。。
ほんと値段も安いしお勧めですよ!!
