Waikiki
Overall, beautiful and the service made our life so much easier. We would recommend these guys again.
With the bay...
Fish weren't as plentiful as the pictures...by a long shot.
Perhaps planning on being there at high tide would help with making the space easier to snorkel.
Interesting process getting into the bay.
Great friendly service from the crew we booked with helping us manage these processes at the bay.
Food and drink options there are slim and no where to sit and eat them as you wait for transport back.
The tour guide on the drive out was great, very friendly. Gear worked well and was clean. We got chairs and an umbrella which was really nice since we were there a while. I didn’t love the actual bay, however. The snorkeling was only okay and we didn’t see nearly as many types of fish as I would have expected for a place boosting great snorkeling. I have been to better. The reef was also super shallow so hard to navigate around the sections safely without touching the coral. It also was very sandy so the view wasn’t clear. Overall I would not pick this activity again just since the snorkeling wasn’t great. However, the driver and equipment was great so I didn’t want to knock their rating down just because the experience wasn’t amazing.
We booked a family snorkeling with turtles experience on the Moana Catamaran, and the crew ensured that we had an exceptional experience. Anthony, the captain, was personable and informative. He was happy to answer a LOT of questions, and provided insight into Hawaiian culture throughout the experience. When it came time to enter the water, Claire was an outstanding guide. She ensured that the kids (10 & 12) felt confident with the unfamiliar snorkeling equipment, and took the time to locate and identify a variety of sea life. The crew made this a memorable experience for our entire family, and we highly recommend this experience for visitors to Oahu.
excellent time with fish and turtles.
crew was also excellent :)
We participated in a honeymoon trip in early April. There was a note that we needed to check in 30 minutes before the 13:30 start time, so we arrived as planned at 13:00. However, we were told to wait on the beach until 14:00, possibly because the previous group was late. There were about 8 participants in total, and we were the only Japanese. Everyone wore swimsuits with light clothing over them.
The boat ride to the site was quite fast and bumpy, which felt like an attraction in itself! I tend to get motion sickness easily, so I took motion sickness medication (Aneron) and tried to manage my hunger, but I still got seasick. We jumped in pairs, and since we were the last to go, I thought it might be better for those who get motion sickness to jump first.
The height was 150 meters, and the view while flying was breathtaking, but with the seasickness and the swaying, I felt even more nauseous while trying to enjoy the scenery. While we were returning, other participants were getting sick and vomiting into the sea. After the experience, those who wanted could purchase the photos taken during the jump.
I think I could have enjoyed it more if I hadn't gotten sick, but it was a valuable experience! If you are prone to motion sickness, please make sure to take motion sickness medication!
4月上旬にハネムーン、夫婦で参加しました。
13:30〜で30分前に受付との注意事項があったので、13:00に予定通り到着しましたが、前の組が遅れていたのか分かりませんが45分までビーチで時間潰してきてと言われ、ツアー開始は14:00頃だったと思います。
参加者は、全員で8名程。日本人は私たちだけでした。皆さん、水着を着用して上から薄手の服を着て参加していました。
沖までの船がスピードがそこそこありかなり揺れもありそれが既にアトラクションのようでした笑
私は車でもすぐに酔うので、酔い止め(アネロン)を飲んでいき、空腹にも満腹にもしないようにも気をつけていきましたが船酔いしました…笑
2人1組で順番に飛びましたが、1番最後だったので酔いやすい方は最初に飛ぶ方がいいのかなと思いました。
高さは150mで飛んでいる時の景色は圧巻なのですが、船酔いしてる上でまたフワフワ揺れるのでまたさらに酔ってなんとか吐かないように景色を見てた感じです笑
全員終わって帰る間に、他の参加者の方は酔って海に吐いてました。終わった後に、撮ってもらった写真も希望する人は購入できます。
酔わなければもっと楽しめたかなと思いますし、貴重な経験になりました!
酔いやすい人は必ず酔い止め飲んで下さい!!!
It was my first time parasailing, and I had a great time! The height was sufficient, and it felt wonderful!
The communication was mostly in English, but it was very easy to understand, so I was able to communicate smoothly. Just before flying, they asked if I wanted photos, and I answered YES. They took pictures for $40! Payment was made after disembarking, so I could decide to purchase after seeing the photos, which was great! They took nearly 80 pictures, and they were all beautiful, so I decided to buy them!
One thing to note is that the boat rocked quite a bit to keep everyone entertained while on board. If you're prone to motion sickness, it's essential to take motion sickness medication.
初めてのパラセーリングでしたが、とても楽しめました!高さも十分でとても気持ちよかったです!
基本的には英語でしたが、とてもわかりやすい英語だったので、スムーズにコミュニケーションが取れました。
また飛ぶ直前に写真必要?って聞かれたため、YESと答えて$40で写真を撮ってくれました!支払いは下船後で、写真を見た上で購入を決められるのでとてもよかったです!80枚近く撮ってくれており、とても素敵な写真ばかりだったので、購入しました!
注意点としては、船に乗っている間も楽しんでもらうためか、とても揺らしてくれました。
船酔いはするので、弱い方は酔い止め必須です。
Although it rained and we had to stay indoors, the fire show and both the hula and Tahitian performances were really wonderful! It might be a good idea to line up early to secure good seats. The food was delicious as well. It was unfortunate that the drink pickup location was hard to find, and in the end, we ran out of time to get them.
雨で室内になりましたが、ファイヤーしょーもあり、フラもタヒチアンもとてもステキでした!
早めに並んでいいお席を確保するのがいいかもです
お料理もおいしくいただきました
ドリンクの受け取り場所がわかりづらく、結局もらう時間がなくなったのが残念でした
The weather was nice, and the scenery was amazing. The staff spoke English and were very kind and friendly. I had made a reservation without a photo shoot, but I paid in cash and requested a photo shoot on the spot. They took a lot of pictures, and I think having a photo shoot makes for better memories. It was a great experience.
天気も良く、景色も最高でした。
スタッフも英語ですが、とても親切でフレンドリーでした。
写真撮影なしで予約していましたが、現金を払ってその場で写真撮影を頼みました。
たくさん撮ってくれて撮影はあったほうが思い出に残ると思います。
とてもいい経験ができました。
Staying at Hilton Hawaiian Village made it convenient to get to the boarding area. Being pulled up suddenly was thrilling! It felt like I could see Diamond Head below. I enjoyed the aerial views for a while. The round trip on the boat, along with the enjoyable assistance, made for a wonderful time. I'm looking forward to having fun again on my next trip to Hawaii.
宿泊がヒルトンハワイアンビレッジだったので乗り場に行くのも便利でした。
引っ張ってもらって、いきなり上がって、感激!
ダイヤモンドヘッドが下に見えるかのようでした。
しばらく空の遊覧を楽しみました。
船の往復も、楽しいアテンドもあり、素敵な時間でした。
また、次のハワイの時も楽しもうと思っています。
We took off from behind the Hilton Hotel. We flew for 150 meters with another couple of newlyweds, but the flight time was short, and I wished we could have flown a bit longer.
ヒルトンホテルの裏から出発しました。
他一組の新婚さんと一緒で150mとびましたが、飛んでる時間が短くて、もう少し長く飛びたかった。
As seen on TV, it was incredibly powerful and I was very satisfied!!! I thought the locals in Hawaii would start late, so I aimed to arrive right at the entrance time, but there was already a huge line, and I regretted not arriving a bit earlier.
I think sitting in the front would have made it even more impressive.
The buffet had mostly delicious food, and I was very satisfied! The seating was shared. The gentleman who guided us to our seats seemed to take into account our preferences, so it would have been nice to speak English to get a better seat. I can't speak it, though...
I chose this place after seeing reviews of other luaus that mentioned language issues, but since the basic communication and announcements were in English, I thought it might have been better to look for a spot outdoors by the beach! The show itself was very satisfying!
テレビとかで見る通り、大迫力で大変満足でした!!!
ハワイの人はスタートも遅いだろうと、入場時間ちょうどを目掛けて行きましたが、すでに大行列で
もう少し早く並べばよかったかなと後悔。
前の席だともっと大迫力だったと思います。
ビュッフェもほとんどが美味しいものばかりで
大満足です!
席は相席でした。
席を案内するおじさんが、起点を聞かせてくれるので、英語を話せるといい席に案内してくれるような感じでした。
私は話せませんが。。。
他のルアウのレビューを見て英語の問題でこちらにしましたが、
基本は英語での会話とアナウンス、案内になるので
屋外のビーチのところなどで探してもよかったかなぁと思いました!
ショー自体は大満足でした!
I had a great time snorkeling with two instructors in the beautiful waters of Hanauma Bay.
The sea was so stunning that I wished I could have snorkeled for a longer time!
While joining a tour is certainly a good option for safety and peace of mind, if you are confident in your swimming skills and have checked the rules of Hanauma Bay in advance, I think considering longer tours or participating individually could be a good idea.
ハナウマ湾の綺麗な海で、お2人のインストラクターさんに指導していただき、とても楽しくシュノーケリングができました
あまりにも綺麗な海でしたので、もっと長時間シュノーケリングしたかった!というのも同時に思いました。
安全/安心を考慮するとツアー参加でもちろん良いと思いますが、泳ぎ・体力にも自信あり、ハナウマ湾のルールを事前に確認されている方であれば、長時間のツアーや個人での参加も視野に入れて良いかと思いました
The guide was amazing! Very kind, spoke beautiful Japanese, and I felt safe while swimming. I definitely recommend it.
ガイドさん、最高!とても、親切、綺麗な日本語、泳いでいる最中も、安心していられた。絶対おすすめします。
Our tour guide Dan was extremely helpful and supportive when my husband struggled with snorkeling. He and his partner helped him and even swam with him to help him feel comfortable.
I appreciated knowing that we were in good hands and they made sure we were all safe while having a great time! Very knowledgeable, personable and helpful Guide. We had an amazing time and Checked snorkeling off our bucket list. It was an easy and fun way to experience this as we were picked up and dropped off from our hotel and everything we needed was supplied.
Thank you for the good review! You guys did great, hope we see you again. Dan and Chieko.
It was a great learning experience to enjoy nature while taking care of it. I was able to see a lot of fish, which was fantastic. I'm glad I joined the tour since general admission is reservation-based and can get crowded.
自然を大切にしながら自然を楽しむ勉強になりました。魚もたくさん見れて最高でした。一般の入場が予約制で混雑するのでツアーに参加して良かったです。
I participated for the first time.
The diamond bed from the sky was amazing.
There was no wind, and the clear weather felt great.
初めて参加しました。
のんびりと空からのダイヤモンドベットは最高でした。
風も無く晴天で気持ち良かったです。
I traveled to Hawaii with my 7-year-old daughter. She wanted to see a show in Hawaii, so we participated in this one. It was a bit windy on the rooftop, but we enjoyed the food and drinks. We chose the primary seat, and it was the right decision! We were guided to our seats first, and we could also get our food ahead of others. It was a relief for us with a child, as there was little waiting time. The restrooms were conveniently located inside the building, so we could step out during the show and return quickly, allowing us to fully enjoy the performance. The fire show in the front row was incredibly impressive! We were both very satisfied.
7歳娘との2人旅でのハワイでした。娘がハワイのショーを見てみたいとのことで、こちらに参加しました。屋上で少し風が強い日でしたが、料理や飲み物も楽しめました。primary seatにしましたが、正解!優先的に席に誘導してもらえ、料理も優先的に取りに行けました。子連れには待ち時間が少なくて助かりました。お手洗いも建物の中にすぐあるのでショーの途中離席してもすぐ戻れてショーを存分に楽しめました。最前列のファイヤーショーは迫力満点!親子で大満足でした。
About 15 years ago, I participated in the same luau as an option on a tour, but back then it was outdoors, so I was a little disappointed that this time it was indoors. I arrived at the meeting place 30 minutes before the opening time, but there were already 7 or 8 groups ahead of me. While waiting, I was able to talk with an elderly couple from New Jersey who stood behind me, and thanks to their patience with my broken English, the time flew by until we entered the venue. Since I lined up early, the table we were guided to was right behind the high-priced tables, making it very easy to see the show. The food and drinks were delicious, and I was very satisfied with the spectacular show. If the yen becomes a bit stronger, I would like to participate again. At the end, I took a photo with one of the dancers from the show, and my wife was also very happy with the night. *I declined the commemorative photo taken at the beginning because it was expensive.
15年くらい前にツアーについていたオプションで同じルアウに参加したことがあったが、その時は屋外だったのが今回は室内だったのが少しだけ残念だった。
開場時間の30分前に集合場所に行ったが既に7〜8組が前にいた。
待っている際に後ろに並んだニュージャージーから来られていた年配の
ご夫婦と話をすることができ、片言の英語に付き合っていただいたおかげで
あっという間に会場となった。
早めに並んだので案内されたテーブルは高いコースのテーブルのすぐ後ろでとても見やすい席だった。
料理もお酒も美味しくいただき、圧巻のショーにとても満足することができた。
もう少し円高になれば、また参加したいと思った。
最後にショーのダンサー?の方と一緒に写真を撮っていただき、妻も大満足の夜でした。
※最初に撮っていただいた記念写真は高額のためお断りした。
We enjoyed the cruise very much very enjoyable nice weather
The tour starts before 6 AM and you can return to the hotel around 10 AM. The guide was very kind, and I was satisfied. They took care of every detail, making it easy for first-timers to participate with peace of mind. When I was about to be swept away by the tide, they quickly pulled me back. The snack we had after coming out of the water was spicy and delicious. They also took a lot of photos!
However, the price is a bit high for Japanese people, and the additional tip is a burden. Considering the weak yen and the cost of living in Hawaii, it can't be helped. Next time, I will visit when the yen is stronger!
早朝6時前からのツァーで10時ごろホテルに帰れます。ガイドの方とても親切で満足です。細かいところまでお世話いただき初めての方でも安心して参加できます。潮に流されそうになったらすぐに手を引いて引き戻していただきました。海から上がった時にいただいたスナックがスパイシーで美味しかった。写真もたくさん撮っていただきました♪
しかし、日本人には値段がお高め、更にチップ必要なのは負担です。円安やハワイの物価を考えると仕方ないのですが。次回は円高の時に伺います笑
On March 22, my family and I participated. Dan was our guide. His Japanese was very good, and he made jokes that were funny, allowing us to enjoy our time during the trip. I felt that Dan really thought about how to make us happy and have a good time. Hanauma Bay was incredibly beautiful. It was a great memory to see the seals taking a nap. Thank you very much.
3月22日に家族で参加させて頂きました。
ダンさんにガイドして頂きました。日本語がとても上手で冗談も面白く移動中も楽しく過ごす事が
出来ました。ダンさんは、どうしたら喜んでくれるか、楽しんでくれるかを考えてくれる方だと感じました。
ハナウマ湾 凄い綺麗でした。お昼寝しているアザラシも見れて良い思い出になりました。ありがとうございました。
It was a cool experience. We seen all kinds of fish, turtles, starfish and a shark. Definitely worth the experience the crew was great and knowledgeable. I would definitely go again
買い物や食事よりもハワイらしい経験をしたくて、パラセーリングを申し込みましたが、間違いなく記憶に残る素晴らしい経験でした。
小型ボートだけど、ガンガン勢いのある船にのって10名くらいで、パラセーリングを楽しみました。
初めての経験だったのでメチャクチャ怖かったけど、スリル満点で、高校生と大学生の子どもたちは、笑いが止まらず、今回のハワイ旅で経験してよかった、と思います。
ただ、空港到着当日の夕方直接行ったのですが、これは、ハードスケジュールすぎたかも。翌日体にこたえました。船酔いの薬は飲んで参加してよかったです。
人生一度は挑戦してみる価値のある経験だとおまいます。非日常を味わえて、メチャ楽しかったです!
I didn't catch a lot, but it was still quite enjoyable! Unfortunately, my child got seasick, so if you're prone to motion sickness, taking medication is a must. If you understand a little bit of English, you'll have a great time. The staff were kind, and when I didn't understand English, they translated for me using their phone. They also prepared the fish right there, and it was delicious! I would love to go again if I have the chance.
いっぱい釣れなかったですが、そこそこ楽しかったです!
残念ながら子供が酔ってしまって、船酔いする方は酔い止め必須です。
英語がすこーしだけ分かれば十分楽しめます。
スタッフの方も親切で、こちらが英語がわからない場合、携帯で翻訳してくれました。
お魚もその場で捌いてくれて、美味しくいただきました!
また機会があれば行きたいです。
If you're going to Hawaii, I want to meet sea turtles! After comparing various tours and reading many reviews, as well as checking the duration and costs, I found this one to be the best overall and made a reservation. (*Since it's primarily in English, if you're worried about understanding, I think a tour with Japanese-speaking staff would be reassuring.)
As a result, I was able to see about 5-6 sea turtles, there were plenty of fish, and the staff were cheerful and fun, making me glad I chose this tour. I unfortunately got seasick on the way back and couldn't see, but it seemed there were dolphins and whales as well!
As others have mentioned, there were about 30-40 participants on the day, but we were the only Japanese. All the staff were locals, so you won't experience Japanese hospitality or explanations in Japanese, but you can enjoy the local atmosphere and a casual vibe, which I recommend.
On the day, I was lucky to have a local staff member who could speak a little Japanese. When I was scared to let go of the stairs while entering the water, they asked, "Are you scared?" and "Are you okay?" and checked if I wanted to return to the boat. I really wanted to see the sea turtles, so I said, "I'm scared, but I want to go into the water," and they held my hand and swam with me until I got used to it, lending me a float cushion. (At one point, an elderly person had to return to the boat due to fatigue, so I returned the cushion, but by then, I had gotten used to the water and was able to swim on my own!)
I tend to get seasick easily, and it was windy that day, so I took medication beforehand, but I ended up getting seasick on the way back and vomited a couple of times. There was a restroom, so I managed to be okay, but if you're prone to seasickness, be cautious depending on the weather that day. (By the way, the restroom was basic, and you couldn't flush paper; you had to pump it yourself to flush.)
It was my first snorkeling experience, and I was anxious since I can't swim well, but I was moved to see the sea turtles. I'm really glad I participated in this tour. I'm grateful to the wonderful staff.
ハワイに行くならウミガメに会いたい!といろんなツアーを比較し、口コミをたくさん読み比べ、所要時間や費用なども調べた結果、ここが総合的に1番良さそうで予約しました。(*基本的には英語なので、英語の聞き取りが不安な方は、日本語スタッフのいるツアーが安心かなと思います)
結果、ウミガメ5-6匹ほどに会うこともでき、魚も沢山いて、スタッフの方々も陽気で楽しいたちで、このツアーにして良かったなと思いました。
わたしは帰りに船酔いして見れなかったですが、イルカやクジラもいたようでした!
他の方も書いている通り、当日は30-40名と参加者は多かったものの、日本人は自分たちだけでした。
スタッフは全員現地の方なので、日本的なホスピタリティや日本語説明は求められないですが、現地感を味わえ、カジュアルな雰囲気を楽しめるのでおすすめです。
当日は運良く日本語を少し話せる現地のスタッフがいました。海に入る時にこわくて階段から手を離せないでいると「こわい?」「大丈夫?」など声かけしてくれて、「船戻りたい?」など確認してくれました。私はどうしてもウミガメを見たかったので「こわいけど海には行きたい」と無茶を言ったところ、慣れるまで手をつないで一緒に泳いでくれて、浮きクッションを貸してくれました。(途中で高齢の方が体力的に厳しくなって船に戻るため、そのクッションはお返ししましたが、その頃には海にも慣れて1人で泳げるようになっていました!)
船酔いしやすい体質で、当日は風が強かったので、事前に薬を飲んでいましたが、帰りに船酔いを起こし2回ほど吐きました。トイレがあったのでなんとか大丈夫でしたが、船酔いする方は当日の天候次第では要注意です。(ちなみにトイレは簡易的なもので、紙は流せない&自分でポンプを上げ下げして流すトイレでした)
初シュノーケリングで、ほぼ泳げないので不安でしたが、ウミガメをみれて感動しました。ほんとにこのツアーに参加して良かったです。素敵なスタッフの方に感謝です。
I did get a bit seasick along the way, but I was able to see the seabed, and I was surprised to find fish in such deep waters. If I have the chance again, I would love to do it again.
途中船酔いもしましたが、海底を見ることができて
そんな深いところに魚もいるなんてビックリしました。また機会があったらよろしくお願いします
アロハ!
レビューを共有していただきありがとうございます。私たちと一緒に海の底100フィート以上を探検して楽しんでいただけたと聞いて嬉しいです!お言葉に感謝いたします。

Thank you for sharing your review. We're delighted to hear you enjoyed exploring over 100 feet under the sea with us! We appreciate your kind words.
We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back in the future aboard one of our submarines and/or the Majestic by Atlantis Cruises for another Atlantis adventure; an underwater journey, sunset cruise, or seasonal whale watch cruise.
Feel free to follow us on social media at #atlantishawaii. A hui hou (until next time).
Quick easy pick up and drop off, the tour guide does not go in the park with you however!
Lots of new things learned at my stop to the Pearl Harbor grounds! The tour guide as well detailed a lot of useful information to and from the grounds
The buggy experience itself was amazing! However, I got caught in a sudden downpour and ended up soaking wet (laughs). They sell ponchos at the shop, but they're really basic, so I strongly recommend bringing your own poncho from Japan if you're planning to participate. You never know when or where a downpour might happen. Also, you will get really dirty, so I highly recommend wearing dark-colored clothes.
バギー体験自体は最高!ただ、突然のスコールにみまわれたため、びしょ濡れ(笑)ポンチョが売店に売ってるけど、本当に簡易的なので、参加予定の人は日本のポンチョの持参を強くおすすめします。スコールはいつどこで起こるか本当に解らないので。また、めちゃめちゃ汚れます。そのため、黒ベースの服を着ていくことを強くお勧めします。
The parasailing I participated in previously in Hawaii took a long time as we had to take a taxi to a distant marina, board a boat, wait on a float, and then switch to the parasailing boat. However, here you can walk to the marina next to the Hilton and board the boat from there, which saves time. The staff was friendly. The wind was strong, the boat was very rocky, and there was some thrilling swaying during the parasailing. I think it's better to take motion sickness medication.
以前ハワイで参加したパラセイリングはタクシーで遠くのマリーナまで行って、そこでボートに乗り、その先でまたフロートで待たされ、パラセイリング用のボートに乗り換えて…と時間がかかりましたが、ここはヒルトンの横のマリーナまで歩いて行けばそこからボートに乗るので無駄なく時間使えます。
親切なスタッフでした。
風が強く、ボートはとても揺れるし、パラセイリング中も風で横揺れしてスリルはありました。
酔い止め飲んだほうが良いと思います
