As first-timers to the Fern Grotto, my husband and I had a great time!The boat ride, hula instruction, music, and entertainment were typically Hawaiian, which is just what we wanted to experience! We took the 3:30 Fern Grotto trip so we could follow it up with the Smith's Family Luau (in the same location). The Luau cuisine was great followed by a spectacular music production professionally presented providing us with a greater understanding of the traditions and heritage of the Polynesian culture. WHAT A SHOW! We recommend BOTH of these for your family and friends. You will not be disappointed!!

This was the best tour of the whole trip. It was probably made that way by the tour guide that we had. Garfield was our guide and he was very informative and well liked. We learned more on this tour even though we had lived on the island before.

We had a great time on this tour, our driver was fantastic, Keao made everyone feel like they were a friend. We had young children in our group and he entertained them a lot of the way, along with the rest of us. Very informative and wonderful way to see the island. Only negative, would have liked to have just a little more time at the Dole Plantation.

The trip was listed as a short, rugged walk, but is handicap accessible. I would have liked this information ahead of time, as walking on concrete is very painful for me, and I would have taken my scooter if I had known there was a paved walk way. I would like to go again sometime, when the ferns have recovered from the damage of the 2006 Hurricane. Cruise was informative, entertaining and fun!

Our family enjoyed this short boat ride to the Fern Grotto. The Grotto itself has changed since our last trip to Kaua'i. Sit on the left side of the boat while it is at the dock (which will then be the right side going up the river). That way you can see most of the sights the guide points out on the way to the Fern Grotto. It was informative, especially for first timers. Next trip, we will probably kayak up to the Grotto.

We had a great time on this tour. We saw a little bit of everything. Rongo, our guide, was so much fun, and so knowledgable. He had so much personal knowledge of the island we often felt like we were somehow being driven around by an old friend who wanted to 'show us around'. Rongo was just a great, great guide. We had fun. We had time to take pictures anywhere we stopped, never felt rushed or hurried. Loved everything we saw and felt like we got a very complete 'view' of the island as well as it's history and all of the things that made 'Oahu'....Oahu. We took this tour our second day in Oahu in case we stumbled across something we would want to spend more time investigating later. We're glad we did. Rongo was also willing to give us tips on great places to eat, or grab a drink. We really had fun!

We had a family of 17 on this tour (all ages) and everyday we kept discussing things we had learned on the tour. Even at the airport we kept talking about how great it was to have done this the first day, because we could then make better decisons about the rest of our trip.

This is the second time I have taken this cruise, and I remember it being better before. Granted, part of the reason is not being able to go up to the actual Fern Grotto (one was able to walk through it before). It is a very pretty site, but I'm not sure that it is worth the price.

The seating on the submarine is a little tight. Some seats are in between two windows which makes it a little harder to see out. On the submarine they show you how deep you are, that was cool. The sunken ships, airplanes and other structures are the most exciting, that is were most of the fish canbe seen. We saw 4 sea turtles just hanging out on the structures.

潜水艦アトランティスって他の地域にもありますが、ハワイは他よりも出会える海の生き物たちが多いと思います。
潜水艦に乗るにあたっては、沖までちょっとした?クルーズ船に乗ります。
そこから海上で船を乗り換えて、深海へ潜っていきます。
その日はウミガメが目の前をよぎったり、魚の軍団を見れたり満足でした。
ただ、帰りのクルーズ船でやや寄ってしまったのが残念でした。

ハワイに到着した日に15時からの回で参加しました。日本人観光客よりも外国の人が多く、日本人が多いハワイで異国気分を味わえました。
沖に待機している潜水艦までは船で行くのですが、船酔いされている方も多く、酔いやすい方は酔い止めをお勧めします(潜水艦は揺れは大丈夫でした)。ワイキキ沖の海底にもカラフルな魚がたくさんおり、その他サメなども見られました。潜水艦に乗るという滅多に出来ない体験に興奮しました。またワイキキ沖から見るダイヤモンドヘッドも素敵でした。

初めての潜水艦体験だったので、興味深く参加できました。
4歳の子供も楽しかったようです(途中から飽きてましたが・・)。
一度は行ってみてもいいかもしれません。
ですが、サブマリンツアーの一番早い時間が、日本語ガイドだと書いてあったので予約したのに、結果はオーディオガイドでした。
記載が間違っているのですか?それとも私の勘違いでしょうか?
日本語ガイドならもっと楽しかったかもしれません。
あと、送迎なしだったのですが、集合時間からたっぷり30~40分は待たされました。ピックアップのバスをもう一台待ってます、とのことでしたが、ならば集合時間をもう少し遅くしてもよいのではと思いました。

家族4人で参加しました。スタッフを含め日本人はいませんでしたが、陽気なスタッフで、とくに疎外感を感じずに楽しめました。
ホノルア湾でスノーケリングをしましたが、湾にはもう一船いるだけで、広々した湾でのびのび泳ぎ回れました。
海の透明度は高く、サンゴ、魚は十分楽しめました。ウミガメの数は半端なく、6匹近くまとまって集まっているのに遭遇しました。
スポットを変えて、もう一度スノーケリングしましたが、そちらは岩場で、最初のスポットほどサンゴは見られませんでした。
行き帰りの波はそれほど荒くなく、まったく酔わずに済みました。
日本人がもっと訪れてもいいように思います。

高齢の母親が初ハワイということもあり、
日本では経験できない潜水艦ツアーを家族4名で楽しみました。
時間は、朝いちばんの8:00の回です。
64名乗りの潜水艦に、参加者がわずか14名でした。
ガイドさんの話では、
このように参加者の人数が少ないときには、
全員を片側に座ってもらい、
通常は左右どちらか片方した見れないところを
潜水艦に回ってもらい2度見れるというおいしいいツアーになりますと言ってました。
偶然とは言え、得した感じで良かったです。
亀やサメ、多くのさかなを見ることもできました。
水族館とも違い、子どもさんには、絶対にお薦めだと思います。
潜水艦までの往復の船も空いていて、
ゆっくりお土産を見ることも出来たので、
ついついいろいろ買ってしまったのも、いまはいい思い出です。
戻りの船上では、キャプテンとの記念撮影もできました。
