Hawaii
I originally wanted to go whale watching, but I heard that by April, most whales return to migration, so I chose to do a dolphin swim instead.
To my surprise, within just five minutes of departing the harbor, we spotted two whales breaching! They breached more than ten times, and the staff was just as excited as we were.
Instead of just searching for dolphins, they spent about 30 minutes chasing the whales, allowing everyone to see them, and we were able to capture great videos and photos.
After that, we successfully encountered dolphins, but it seemed there was a baby dolphin, and they were quite cautious, so we couldn't swim together.
The staff flexibly adjusted the program, making it a memorable activity for both my partner and me.
もともとホエールウォッチングがしたかったのですが、4月はほとんど回遊に戻ってしまうと聞いて、ドルフィンスイムを選んでいました。
なんと!港を出発して5分も経たないうちにブリーチングしている2頭の鯨を発見!
ブリーチングも10回以上していて、スタッフの方も大興奮でした。
本来はイルカを探しに行くところを、ここで30分くらい鯨を追ってくださったので、全ての人が見ることができ、動画も写真もバッチリ撮れました。
その後イルカとも無事遭遇できましたが、子供のイルカがいたらしく、警戒が強く一緒に泳ぐことは叶いませんでした。
柔軟にプログラム配分を変えてくださったので、夫婦ともども思い出深いアクティビティになりました。
Cruising after swimming is extremely cold. It's better to wear a rash guard or hoodie that you didn't get wet after swimming.
泳いだあとのクルージングはめちゃめちゃ寒いです。ラッシュガードやパーカーは濡らさずに泳いだ後に羽織った方が良いです。
Aloha, Youth! Thank you for participating in the Dolphin University. I apologize for not being able to swim with the dolphins, which is disappointing. However, I truly believe it was fortunate that you encountered humpback whales at the end of April and witnessed breaching over 10 times. The power of the breaching can be felt from the photos. Typically, breaching happens only once or twice, so capturing it in photos is rare. I hope it became an unforgettable memory from your trip to Hawaii. Thank you for enjoying the experience until the end. We sincerely look forward to your next participation. Mahalo nui and a hui hou!
アロハ! Youth様。イルカ大学に参加していただき、ありがとうございました。イルカと一緒に泳ぐことができず残念な思いをさせてしまい申し訳ございません。しかしながら、4月末のシーズン末期にザトウクジラに出会えただけでなく、ブリーチングを10回以上見られたとは本当に幸運だったと思います。ブリーチングをしてる写真からその迫力が伝わってきます。ブリーチングをしても通常は1,2回だけなので写真に収められることはレアです。ハワイ旅行での忘れられない思い出になったとしたら幸いです。最後まで楽しんでいただきありがとうございました。 Youth様のまたのご参加を心よりお待ちしております。Mahalo nui and a hui hou!
The weather was clear and perfect for horseback riding on the day of the experience. I had tried horseback riding a few times in Japan, but this was my first long ride, and it was an incredibly enjoyable experience. It seems there has been a lot of rain recently, and due to some paths being washed out, the 2-hour plan was shortened to 1.5 hours, but it was still more than enough of an experience. They also offered a refund for the shortened time. Since I was at the upper limit of the weight for riding, I was a bit anxious during the weighing process, but I was assigned the largest horse, so I was able to enjoy the experience without any issues.
当日は快晴で絶好の乗馬日和でした。
日本で体験乗馬は何回かしていたのですが、長時間の乗馬は初めてで非常に楽しい体験。
最近雨が多いらしく、一部道が崩れていることで2時間プランが1.5時間になりましたが、十分過ぎる体験でした。
短くなった分は返金対応をしてくださっています。
私が体格が大きく乗馬できるギリギリの体重だったので、軽量の時はヒヤヒヤしましたが、一番大きいお馬さんを割り当てていただいたので、問題なく体験できました。
Since there will be a weight measurement, it's safer for those close to the limit to go on a diet beforehand. I was right on the edge, so I was quite nervous. Also, since you can only bring your smart
体重測定があるので、制限に近い方はダイエットして行った方が安心です。私はギリギリだったのでヒヤヒヤしました。あとは乗馬時にスマホと水くらいしか持っていけないので、割り切った装備が良いと思います。
Celebrated birthday on this thrilling trail with stunning views, cant complain!!
Filled with fun, sights, colorful beaches, Maui and especially Hana has it all - what a dream!
Aloha! 🌺
Mahalo for your kind words — we’re so happy to hear you had such a dreamy experience! Hana really is a gem, with its colorful beaches, lush beauty, and unforgettable vibes. We’re thrilled we could help you explore and enjoy all that Maui has to offer. Hope to see you again for another island adventure soon! 🌈🚐🌴
This really wraps up the south shores perfectly while cruising, ending with Fern Grotto was perfect.
Staff greeted us with fresh flower leis, and we were escorted to our seats with an amazing view of the ocean.
Chilly at the top, so make sure to dress warmly! Besides that the views are to die for!
Most unique and memorable experiences we had during our time on Kauai! From start to finish
Our water conditions were perfect, the coast was gorgeous! What a day
We caught one whale which was lucky being the end of the season!
Even though it holds a lot of people, it still felt very small and connected from the show to the guests!
Not only do you get mountain tubing, you get a little forest AWD ride beforehand that is incredible on its own. This is well worth it in so many ways!
What gorgeous greenery sights, not to mention the endless waterfalls!
Mahalo nui loa for your kind words! 🌿🚁 We're so happy you enjoyed the lush green views and those magical, never-ending waterfalls—Hawai‘i really knows how to show off! It means the world to our small, local team to share these breathtaking sights with awesome guests like you. Hope we get to welcome you back for another sky-high adventure soon! 🌈🌺
Our guide was the best person we met throughout all the islands. He made this tour so personal and special, and was great overall.
Aloha Kara,

Thank you for choosing Mauna Loa Helicopter Tours, and we hope to fly with you again on your next visit!
Venue threw us off a bit at first, but seating was great and the show blew out of the water.
Well taken care of horses which we very much appreciated, with the ride having stunning coastal views!
What a top-tier luau in a beautiful setting at Waimea Valley! Highly recommended
It was a great leaning experience of the beautiful Polynesian culture with a personal connection to the crew.
This flight was most certainly an unforgettable experience and one of the highlights of our Hawaii trip.
Lots of people on the boat, very busy but the team works very hard!
The tour was well-organized, with enough time at each site to explore and reflect.
The hula dancers are mesmerizing! Great show and even more amazing food!
Lots and I mean lots to do and see on this road! We had got so many wonderful scenes throughout.
Aloha Kara!

We look forward to welcoming you back for another unforgettable island adventure!

Clearest waters! Wonderful experience and wonderful crew.
Kilauea was just amazing, I could go every day if it was possible!
We were pre-jittered, but for no reason as this was the calmest experience I could of imagined!
I was quite surprised by the height after seeing others, but once I went up, it was surprisingly okay. My Japanese is a bit broken, but it can be understood.
The boat sways quite a bit. The view is amazing!
他の方のを見て 結構な高さに驚いてしまい
ましたが、上がれば意外と大丈夫でした。
片言ですが日本語も通じます
ボート結構揺れます
景色最高です!
It gets wet, but it's not soaking wet.
濡れますがびしょ濡れではありません
I think being able to ride horses along the coast is something unique to Hawaii, so I decided to participate. All the explanations were in English, but during the drive, our driver, Kaz, kindly provided information in Japanese, which made me feel at ease and allowed me to enjoy the experience! The horses seemed well-trained; they moved forward on their own when the horse in front did. In Haleiwa, I was dropped off at my desired location, so I could easily go to the shops I wanted to visit!
海沿いを乗馬できるのはハワイならではだと思い参加しました。
説明はすべて英語でしたが、行くまでの道中で日本語でドライバーのカズさんが事前に教えてくれていたので安心して楽しむことができました!
馬も慣れているのか前の馬が進めば自分の意志で進んでくれました。
ハレイワでは希望の場所で降ろしてもらえたので迷わずに行きたいお店に行けました!
The instructor is a local, but it wasn't a problem that they didn't understand English. The horses are gentle, so even children can participate! I recommend deciding in advance what you want to do and
インストラクターは現地の方ですが英語がわからなくても問題なかったです。
馬も温和なの子どもでも参加できます!
ハレイワではやりたい事行きたいお店は予め決めておくことをお勧めします。
Thank you for participating in the beach horseback riding and North Shore tour with Island Makana Tours. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed it. Please consider using Island Makana Tours again when you visit Hawaii.
この度はアイランドマカナツアーズの海辺乗馬とノースショア観光にご参加いただき、ありがとうございました。お楽しみいただけたようでうれしく思います。また、ハワイにお越しの際はアイランドマカナツアーズをご利用下さいませ。
Kualoa Ranch, famous for being a filming location for Jurassic Park, is truly breathtaking when you see the scenery right in front of you. The horseback riding lasts a solid two hours. You ride in a line of six, navigating some pretty tough paths, including narrow trails and cliffs. However, the horses are very smart and know the way, so there are no issues.
One instructor accompanies you and explains the locations in English. Occasionally, if a horse doesn't move or if a rider's posture is poor, they will give you a reminder. My legs were shaking after the two hours, but it was truly a valuable experience, and I'm glad I did it! Since it's a tour, you might have some free time afterward, but the burgers at the café are incredibly delicious, and since the ocean is right next to it, you can relax by the sea if you return within the time limit. I think it's an experience you can't have in Japan!
ジュラシックパークのロケ地で有名なクアロアランチ。知ってはいたけど、いざ目の前に広がる景色をみると圧巻です。
乗馬はしっかり2時間します。6名で1列になり、細道や崖などけっこうハードな道を進みます。ただ、お馬さんがとてもお利口で道を分かっているので問題ないです。
インストラクターの方は1名着いてくれ英語でロケーションの説明などをしてくれます。
たまに、お馬さんが動かなかったり、乗る人の姿勢が悪かったりすると声をかけてくれます。2時間終わった後の足はガクガクになりましたが、本当に貴重な体験ができてやって良かったです!ツアーなので、終わった後に時間を持て余しますがカフェのハンバーガーがめちゃくちゃ美味しいのと横が海なので時間内に戻れば海に行ってのんびりも出来ます。日本では出来ない体験だと思います!
