The wind was strong and personally a bit scary, but the staff were very friendly and spoke to ease my anxiety, allowing me to have an enjoyable experience. My daughter wanted to try parasailing, so we signed up here, and we were very satisfied.

風が強く個人的にはちょっと怖かったですが、スタッフの皆さんがとてもフレンドリーで不安を和らげるよう声をかけてもらい、楽しく体験することができました。
一緒に行った娘がパラセイリングをしたくでこちらに申し込んだのですが、大満足です。

Even when we got close to Diamond Head, we couldn't see any whales, and I started to give up a little, but then I spotted a spout in the distance. At that moment, the boat sped towards the whale, and we got close enough to see it!

After that, the boat kept pace without disturbing the whale, allowing us to see it with Diamond Head in the background. It was such an emotional moment!

As the boat started heading back to the harbor, the other passengers returned inside, but while watching the whale, I was able to see a huge leap from quite a distance!

On the way back, we also spotted two groups of whales, so I think it's a good idea to look out for spouts. The pineapple banana bread provided after boarding was also very delicious, and we could enjoy it with tea or coffee inside the boat!

There were also announcements in Japanese explaining about the whales, so it's fine even if you don't understand English. Since they are living creatures, you can't always see them, but even if they are a bit far away, the boat gets close, so I’m glad I participated!

ダイヤモンドヘッドの辺りに来てもなかなかクジラの姿が見えないので、今日は見ることができないかもと少し諦めた時に、すっごく遠くに潮吹きが見えました。その瞬間、船がクジラの方に向かってすごいスピードで進んでいき、クジラが見える所まで近づいてくれました！
その後も、クジラの泳ぎを遮らないように、並走してくれて、ダイヤモンドヘッドをバックにクジラを見る方ができました。とても感動した瞬間でした！
船が港へ戻り出した為、他の乗客は船内に戻って行きましたが、ずっとクジラを見ていると、かなり離れていましたが、クジラの大ジャンプを見ることができました！！
帰り途中にも2グループのクジラを見る方ができたので、潮吹きを探してみると良いと思います。
乗船後に提供された軽食のパイナップルバナナブレッドもとても美味しく、紅茶やコーヒーと一緒に船内で食べることができました！
クジラの説明など日本語でのアナウンスもきちんとありますので、英語がわからなくても大丈夫です。生き物ですので毎回見られるとは限りませんが、多少遠くても船が近づいていってくれるので、参加して良かったと思います！

I was able to enjoy many thrilling attractions. The transportation was accompanied by a Japanese attendant, which made me feel at ease.

たくさんの絶叫アトラクションを楽しむことができました。送迎は日本人のアテンドがついていたので、安心できました。

I was worried that my daughter, who easily gets seasick because it's a large ship, might have a hard time, but despite taking motion sickness medication, she ended up feeling sick. 😭 She couldn't even go out on deck and just sat in a chair, waiting for the return to port. I don't know why the medication didn't work, but it was unfortunate, especially since she was looking forward to it more than anyone. 😒

We were able to see whales a few times, although from a distance. 😊👌

大型船なので船酔いし易い娘でも大丈夫かなと思っていたのですが、酔い止めを飲んで行ったにもかかわらず酔ってしまいました😭
デッキにも出られず椅子に座りきりで、ひたすら帰港を待っていました。
なぜ酔い止めが効かなかったのかわかりませんが、気の毒でした。
娘の方が楽しみにしていたので😒

鯨は遠目ですが、何回か見ることができました😊👌

I had seen the water show by Cirque du Soleil in Las Vegas before, so I wasn't expecting much this time, but it was surprisingly impressive for its smaller scale. It was great to have seats up high, as I could see the whole performance. It seems that sitting lower could lead to a sore neck.

ラスベガスでシルクドソレイユの水のショーを見たことがあったので、今回はあまり期待はしていなかったのですが、規模が小さいわりには見ごたえがありました。
席が上の方だったので全体を見渡せて良かったです。
下の方の席だと首が痛くなってしまうようです。

AUANA was absolutely wonderful! It was immersive and had the best performance! If you're going to Hawaii, you definitely should see it.

AUANAとっても素晴らしかったです！
臨場感と最高のパフォーマンスでした！
ハワイに行くなら是非観て頂きたいです。

The river cruise to the fern grotto was a lot of fun. The local info shared was insightful and gave us several other sites to see. The entertainment was well done and fun. The walk up to the grotto was beautiful! All in all, a great outing that was a lot of fun.

Our experience at the luau was amazing! Our server was highly professional and efficient, making the evening even more enjoyable. The table service and open bar were definitely worth the price. The show was outstanding—just a heads-up, there’s no fire show. Overall, we highly recommend it!

After arriving from Waikiki, I received explanations about luggage and lockers from the Japanese staff and headed to the reception for each activity. The two-hour horseback riding was very fulfilling, as I could see the ocean and passed very close to a herd of cattle. The gentle ups and downs were quite surprising from atop the horse.

ワイキキから到着後、日本人スタッフの方から手荷物やロッカーなどの説明を受け、各アクティビティの受付に向かいました。2時間の乗馬は海が見えたり、牛の群れのすぐ近くを通ったり、軽いアップダウンも馬の上からだと結構びっくりしたり、とても充実しました。

A truly unique experience. As you board the spacious and comfortable bus in Waikiki the staff prepares you for your journey. You are given a virtual reality headset that is adjustable and comfortable. The virtual reality is interactive, and educational. As the bus is moving it actually feels like your body is moving through the experience. The colors, animals, and sounds felt so real!

Would not recommend if you are prone to motion sickness. Would recommend if you are interested in virtual reality, and enjoy a fun ride. Comparable to a smooth rollercoaster.

It was my first time snorkelling, and the experience was fantastic! The equipment was clean, well-maintained, and easy to use. If you're not comfortable swimming in the ocean like me, I highly recommend renting a life vest for extra confidence.

From the start, everything was well-organized. The shuttle bus driver was friendly and informative, sharing insights about Oahu’s geography, and pointing out tourist attractions and great restaurants along the way. He even handed out pictures of ocean creatures we might spot, which made the ride even more exciting!

Overall, a great experience, I’d definitely recommend it!

This was a very traditional Hawaiian experience. Enjoyed it very much!

I participated in February. At first, I was really wondering if I would be able to see them, but I was able to see four of them! When we went out to sea, they stopped the boat's engine and drove slowly and quietly, which allowed us to see two of them up close. I was moved by their size. They seemed to be playing together, possibly a mother and her child or siblings.

Before heading out to sea, we listened to explanations about safety and the characteristics and ecology of humpback whales inside the boat. I read in reviews that there would be staff who spoke Japanese, but it seemed there weren't any when we participated. I was with a friend who spoke English, so she briefly explained the content to me, but I thought it would be nicer if there were written explanations in various languages available (though I could generally understand without them).

The pineapple cake served as a snack was delicious, and I ended up asking for a second helping!

2月に参加しました。初めは本当に見ることができるのかなあと思っていましたが、4頭、本当に見ることができました！　沖に出ると船のエンジン？を止めてゆっくり静かに運転してくれて、それによってそのうち2頭はすぐ間近で見ることができ、大きさを目の当たりにして感動しました。親子なのか兄弟なのか、2頭で遊んでいるようでした。

　出航後沖に出るまでは、船内で、安全についての説明やザトウクジラの特徴や生態についての説明を聞きます。日本語が話せるスタッフがいると口コミに書かれていましたが、私たちが参加した際はいないようでした。英語が話せる友人と一緒だったので、彼女に内容を簡単に教えてもらいましたが、各言語の説明書きなどが置いてあるとより親切かなと思いました。（なくても大体分かりますが）

サービスのパイナップルケーキが美味しくて、おかわりしてしまいました！

We participated as a family.

The crew members were all kind, and there were Japanese-speaking staff, which eased my worries since I had an elementary school child with me. They seemed to have a lot of fun seeing the sea turtles.

Thank you very much.

家族で参加させていただきました。

クルーの方、皆さん親切で日本語スタッフの方もいて、小学生の子供がいて心配でしたが、海亀見れてとても楽しそうでした。

ありがとうございました。

There were some things I didn't quite understand in English, but they kindly explained everything in an easy-to-understand way, and the activities themselves were enjoyable and memorable. Thank you! 😊

英語でちょっと理解できないこともありますが、親切にわかりやすく話しもして頂き、アクティビティ自体も楽しく心に残ったアクティビティでした。
ありがとうございました😊

We spotted them about five minutes after setting sail! After that, they continued to show us blows, breaches, tail slaps, and pectoral slaps one after another. Although we weren't very close, I was completely satisfied with how frequently they performed their "dance."

Fortunately, the Hilton Waikoloa where I stayed had a room at the very end facing the ocean, and during the morning and afternoon, I could see blows and breaches in the distance. I participated in the tour in early March, and it seems to be the perfect time for whale watching, as we encountered them frequently.

We were blessed with good weather; there were some waves, but the boat's rocking was less than I had worried about, making for a comfortable journey.

出航して5分ほどで逢えました！
その後も続々とブロー・ブリーチング・テールスラップ・ペックスラップを見せてくれました。
距離はけっして近くなかったけれど、これだけ頻繁に“ダンス”を魅せてくれたので大満足です。

宿泊していたヒルトン・ワイコロアが運良く海側最突端の部屋でしたが、朝や昼に海を眺めていると遠くでブロー＆ブリーチングをしている姿が見えます。
ツアーに参加したのは3月初旬でしたが、頻繁に出逢えるホエールウォッチングには最適・絶好の時期のようです。

好天に恵まれて、多少の波はありましたが心配していた船の揺れも少なく、快適な船の旅でした。

I use the shuttle every time I go to Hawaii, and the reservation process is easy, the meeting point is clear, and the service on-site is smooth. Depending on the location of the hotel, the drop-off order may be later, but I can rely on the reliable and affordable transportation.

毎回渡ハの際にはシャトルを利用しておりますが、予約も簡単で待ち合わせ場所もわかりやすく、現地での対応もスムーズ。宿泊ホテルの所在地によっては降りる順番が後になりますが、確実な送迎と安価で安心できます。

We went all the way to Diamond Head and anchored for a long time near Waikiki Beach. They said there were whales, but even after anchoring for almost an hour, we couldn't see any. It's said that whale breathing lasts 20 to 40 minutes, so if they were nearby, we should have been able to see them... I felt the same while looking from the hotel at Waikiki Beach. From this point, it seems like you could see them with a telescope from places like the Hyatt & Beach or Sheraton.

ダイアモンドの先まで行き、ワイキキビーチ行きで長く停泊。クジラがいるということでしたが、1時間近く停泊したが見えなかった。
クジラの呼吸は20〜40分と言われているため、近くにいるなら見えるはずだが…。
ワイキキビーチ沖ではホテルから眺めても同じと感じた。　このポイントならHYATT&Beachやシェラトンなどからなら望遠鏡で見えそうです。

Since it was a transit to an outlying island, it was quite empty upon arrival. When I contacted them because I didn't know the meeting place, they responded politely, which made me feel at ease.

離島へトランジットだった為、到着時は閑散としていました。待ち合わせ場所が分からないと連絡すると丁寧に対応いただき安心できました。

We had so much fun. The tour was easy to follow. Beautiful fish, coral, anemone, and more. Definitely check it out

Snorkeling was fun. The boat is nice, large, and stable. The two singers are good.
And the sneaky little creep sitting next to us at the next table reached right into my beach bag and stole my Yeti Coffee Cup and lid. We did not want to make a big scene. He was really fast and he and his "girl" were the only two people within 15 feet of us as Patsy and I had the front starboard corner of the boat. Keep an eye on your possessions. The staff on the boat are very conscientious and polite.

We had a fun experience with a muscular local guy in the front and back of the canoe, while the three of us seniors sat in between. We paddled with the commands of the guy in the back, who would say "right" or "left." If we made a mistake, he would point it out in Japanese by saying "number one opposite." He also scooped out the seawater that came into the canoe with a bucket. It felt great to ride the waves in the canoe, but next time, I want to experience it with even bigger waves!

カヌーの前後にマッチョな地元のお兄さんが乗り､その間に私たちシニアの3人が乗り込み、後ろのお兄さんの右､左､と言う掛け声でオールを漕ぎます､間違ったら番号で1番反対〜と日本語で指摘されたり､カヌーの後ろに入ってくる海水をお兄さんがバケツでかき出したり楽しい体験でした👍
波に乗ってカヌーが進むのが気持ち良かったでも､次はもっと大きな波で体験したいと思います

Warm welcoming and very friendly crews.
The water was quite cold and some breeze so I didn’t into the water but really enjoyed the views and colour of water

Although the clouds and full moon made it difficult to see a beautiful sunset and a starry sky, Yamapi's thoughtfulness and conversation were excellent. I definitely want to try again.

雲が多いのと満月で綺麗な夕日や満天の星空は残念でしたが、ヤマピーさんのお心遣いと会話は最高でした。又是非トライしたいと思います

It was my first time snorkeling, and I'm really glad I experienced it! The ocean was beautiful, and I even encountered a sea turtle!

初めてのシュノーケリングでしたが、本当に体験してよかったです！
海は綺麗で、ウミガメにも出会えました！

On the first night of my first trip to Hawaii, I attended a buffet and show. After arriving in Waikiki, I quickly went shopping and got my outfit ready before heading to the buffet. The food was delicious, and it was fun to be invited by the staff to dance together at the end.

After the meal, everyone was excited about the diverse show. I felt moved by the professionalism of the performance, but I hesitated to share too much about the content to avoid spoilers.

On the way back, I was able to take commemorative photos with the dancers, making it a valuable experience. It really immerses you in the spirit of Hawaii!

初ハワイの初日の夜にビュッフェ&ショーを持ってきました。ワイキキに入ってから早速ショッピングに出かけて、衣装も揃えて先ずはビュッフェへ。料理は美味しくて、最後はスタッフより声を掛けられて一緒に踊るのも楽しかったです。
食後は多彩なショーにみんな大盛り上りでした。内容に触れるとネタバレ的になるとどうかな？と思うので、プロ意識の高いショーに感動を覚えました。
帰りにはダンサー達と記念撮影もできて、価値ある体験だったと思います。
一気にHawaii 化しますよ。

This was an absolutely amazing experience and I highly recommend! The view is stunning- truly unbelievable. You feel as if you have been transported to another world.

Tips from someone who has been there-
Dress as if you are visiting a frozen tundra. Its cold.

Take someone you love with you so you have a witness to what you are seeing- this helps to ease your mind from thinking its a dream. You will be in disbelief of the awesome beauty.

Listen to a great song while you star gaze- here’s mine.

I enjoyed a 2-hour horseback riding tour with a group of about five Japanese people and a female staff member. The staff was very cheerful and provided advice in simple Japanese. Unfortunately, it rained the entire time, so we couldn't see the magnificent scenery very well. I definitely want to experience it again when I visit Oahu.

5人ほどの日本人だけのグループで、女性スタッフの方と一緒に2時間の乗馬ツアーを楽しみました。スタッフの方はとても明るく、簡単な日本語も交えてアドバイスをしてくれました。残念だったのは2時間ずっと雨天で雄大な景色があまり見えなかったこと。オアフ島に行ったらぜひまた体験に行きたいです。

At first, I was nervous and anxious, but those worries were blown away by the views of Diamond Head and Waikiki! It was such a refreshing parasailing experience.

最初はドキドキ不安でしたが、そんな不安も、ダイヤモンドヘッドやワイキキの景色で吹き飛びました！とても気持ちいいパラセーリングでした。

I had a great time! The fire was impressive and amazing! The food was delicious and there was plenty that the kids could eat!

とても楽しかった！
ファイヤーも迫力があって凄かった！
ご飯も子供達が食べれるのばかりで美味しかったです！
