This outing was not what I expected. Given the description of "turtle canyon" I assumed we were going to some rather exotic location to swim and snorkel with the sea turtles. As it turns out, its just about a mile off of Waikiki Beach and it was full of boats with other snorkelers making it quite a crowded experience. Although we did see two turtles (or maybe the same turtle twice), it certainly wasn't the grand adventure it was made out to be. The water was quite murky and the coral was anything but pretty. And on top of all that, we could have booked directly with the tour company for 25% less. That was disappointing.

I will say the crew was very pleasant and the sail after was good.

When I went up to the rooftop, there was a slight sway, but I didn't feel nauseous at all! There were quite a few whales out, and it was amazing! I definitely want to go see them again!

屋上まで行くと少し揺れがありましたが、特に酔いなどはありませんでした!
クジラも結構多く出てきてくれて、最高でした！
ぜひまた見に行きたいです！

I saw whales!
The weather was great, it was the best!!
I was worried I might get seasick, but I was fine.

I definitely want to go see them again!

ホエール見れた〜
天候にも恵まれ、最高でした！！
船酔いするかもと心配したけど、大丈夫でしたー

また、是非見に行きたいです

I chose a tour with transportation included. Everyone around spoke English, but it was manageable. When we arrived, there was a Japanese guide who explained the flow of the tour to some extent. The tour itself was in English, but the video explaining how to ride and safety precautions was in Japanese. It was fun to drive through nature and see a bit of the movie set! I got quite tired. There seems to be another tour that focuses solely on the movie set, which allows for more in-depth viewing and photo opportunities. My tour only passed by the set, but even just catching a glimpse was nice! Those driving the buggies might find it hard to see the scenery?! It seemed that long pants were required for the buggies, but I forgot to wear them on the day... However, many people from countries other than Japan were wearing shorts. Japanese people are serious. Haha. But, since I ended up covered in sand and dust, those who don't want to get dirty might want to cover up. They lend you helmets and goggles, but those goggles felt unreliable. People with hard contact lenses might struggle.

送迎ありツアーにしました。周りは英語だけど、なんとかなります。着いたら日本人のガイドがいてある程度流れを説明してくれます。ツアー自体は英語なのですが乗り方や注意事項の説明のビデオは日本語でした。自然のなかを走ったり少しだけ映画の跡地をみたり、楽しかったです！結構疲れました。他に映画の跡地だけを巡るツアーもあるようでそれはもっとじっくり見たり写真を撮ったりしてました。私のツアーは軽く横を通ったりするぐらいでしたがちらっと見れただけでもよかった！バギー運転してる人は景色見づらいかも？！バギーは長ズボン必須だったようですが当日着ていくのを忘れました、、。ですが日本人以外の国の人は半ズボン多かったです。日本人真面目。笑　だけど、、結構全身砂ホコリまみれになったのであまり汚れたくない人はカバーした方がいいかも。ヘルメットとゴーグルも貸してくれますがそのゴーグルが心許ない。ハードコンタクトの人は死にます。

It was my first time on a helicopter, and it was exciting. The pilot provided explanations in Japanese, which was helpful. Well, since it was volcanic activity, it couldn't be helped, but I didn't get to see the red lava of Kilauea. Also, it wasn't a landing tour to the waterfall, but I was hoping to see it, so I was a bit disappointed.

ヘリコプターの初搭乗なこともありますが、エキサイティングでした。パイロットさんが日本語でも解説してくれたので、助かりました。まあ、火山活動なので仕方ないですが、キラウエアの赤い溶岩は見られませんでした。あと、滝への着陸ツアーではありませんが、見られると思っていたので少し残念です。

The explanations are in English, so it's tough with limited language skills, but I managed somehow (^ - ^)
Anyway, the dolphins are adorable!
Playing, swimming, and feeding them was a valuable experience.

説明は英語なので、半端な語力では辛いけど、まあ、なんとかなります(^-^)
とにかく、イルカはかわいいです！
一緒に遊び、泳ぎ、エサやり。貴重な体験でした。

It's very enjoyable to interact with the animals. It was my first time at an outdoor aquarium, but it's quite small, and you can finish walking through it in just 15 minutes. I'm surprised given the price.

動物達と触れ合えるのはとても楽しいです、
室外の水族館は初めてでした、
ただ、とても小規模で15分も歩けば終わってしまいます。
値段の割にびっくりです

I made a reservation online in advance and participated with my family of four (my wife, our daughter and son who are both over 20). Before it started, I was a bit anxious about how high we would go, but once we began, everyone in the family was super excited! I'm glad we participated!

This photo was taken from the air during the parasailing experience. It was quite a height, but it was an "incredibly enjoyable" experience.

I was unsure about which activity to choose on Oahu, but opting for this parasailing was the right decision. The crew members made jokes and kept us entertained, so we never got bored. Additionally, the crew member took photos for us, and I decided to purchase them on the spot (cash for $40).

I highly recommend that you experience this at least once!

事前にネット予約して家族４人（妻と私と２０歳過ぎの娘と息子）で参加。どのくらいの高さまで行くのか、始まる前は少し不安でしたが、やってみたら家族全員、大興奮！参加して良かったです！
こちらの写真はパラセイル体験中に空中から撮影したものです。結構な高さではありますが、「超気持ちいい～～」体験でした。
オアフ島でのアクティビティを何にするのか迷いましたが、こちらのパラセイルにして正解でした。
搭乗員の方も冗談を言いながら、お客様の相手になってくれるので、飽きることもありません。また、その搭乗員の方が写真を撮ってくれるのですが、即決で購入（Cashで$40）しました。
是非一度はご体験ください！

Fabulous guides! A lovely informative bunch of girls.
The only place you can do solo ATV's now on Oahu!
A lot of fun!

In conclusion, it was amazing.
This is a show that I absolutely want everyone to attend.
I have traveled to Hawaii many times and participated in various activities, but this became the best memory of all.
With laughter, emotion, and surprises on stage, I brought my 2-year-old child, and they enjoyed it and were able to focus on watching.

There is also a bar where you can purchase popcorn, drinks, and alcohol, so being able to enjoy light snacks while watching the show was great too!

結論、最高でした。
皆さんに絶対参加していただきたいショーです。
ハワイ旅行は何度もいっており、いろいろなアクティビティにも参加してきましたが、どのアクティビティよりもいい思い出になりました。
笑いあり、感動あり、驚きありのステージで、2歳の子どもを連れて行きましたが、とても楽しんで集中して観覧できていました。

ポップコーンやドリンク、お酒の購入ができるバーもあるので、軽いスナックを楽しみながらショーを見ることができるのも良かったです◎

I participated with my children. When we boarded the boat, they gave the kids a realistic whale coloring book, which kept them entertained until we arrived at the point (colored pencils were provided). As for the whale watching, we were able to see whales multiple times, and it was an exciting experience for the kids.

子連れで参加しました。船に乗ると子供にリアルなクジラの塗り絵をプレゼントしてくれてポイントまで飽きずに到着（色鉛筆は貸し出し）。そして、肝心のホエールウォッチは何度も何度も鯨を見ることができて子供達も大興奮の体験でした。

I wish I had done this tour earlier into my trip. We got to see the entire island. It was clear that our guide, Kevin was passionate and knowledgeable on the island's history and culture. Our group made a few stops additional to the two main activities. It was well worth the cost. As a solo traveller I had an amazing time on this excursion!

Yoshi was absolutely amazing! From the prompt pick up, the hospitality (tea, snacks) and the amazing knowledge, this is a tour I will always remember. Words can’t express how awesome being at that height and seeing the stars as you stand above the clouds was. Yoshi knew and shared so much and even had coats and gloves for us all as it does get cold at that height. He even showed us how to adjust the settings on our phones to timelapse and take great pictures. 1000% recommend Yoshi and this tour if you want to experience something breathtaking.

Absolutely fabulous!
Dancers were amazing. Musicians and singers . Loved it all!

I used this service for my return trip. They arrived on time, confirmed my name, and I felt reassured. I was picked up about three and a half hours before my flight, which allowed me to relax at the airport.

One thing to be careful about is that for those using Hawaiian Airlines, the departure gate is at Terminal 1, but the check-in counter for Japanese Hawaiian Airlines passengers is only at Terminal 2. I mistakenly got dropped off at Terminal 1 and was told to go to Terminal 2 when it was time to check in, which caused a bit of a panic as I had to rush over (it's about a 5-minute walk between T1 and T2, so it's not a big issue if you make a mistake). If you haven't checked in yet, please make sure to go to Terminal 2 first.

帰路に利用。時間通りに来てくれて名前を確認して乗車するので安心できます。
3時間半くらい前にピックアップされるので空港でゆっくり出来ます。
気をつけていただきたいのが、ハワイアン航空を利用する方は出発ゲートはターミナル1なのですが、日本人のハワイアン航空利用者のチェックインカウンターはターミナル2にしかありません。
間違えてターミナル1で降ろされてチェックインに並んでいざという時に日本人はターミナル2と伝えられて慌てて移動しました（T1とT2は徒歩5分ほどなので間違えても問題ないです。）
チェックインがまだの方は是非ターミナル2にまず行ってください。

A two-hour horseback riding experience. After arriving at Kualoa, a Japanese speaker will provide an explanation. The riding will be conducted in English. You can check your luggage, but you can take your smartphone and water bottle with you. Only photos are allowed; videos are not permitted. You need to take photos with one hand. The horses are smart and will move in sync with the horse in front of them. This is an experience you should definitely try when you come to Hawaii.

2時間ほどの乗馬体験。クアロア到着後日本語の方あらご説明していただけます。
乗馬中は英語で行われます。荷物は預けますが、スマホと水筒は持って行けます。
写真のみで動画はダメです。写真は片手でとる必要があります。
馬ちゃんは賢いので前の馬に合わせて動いてくれます。
ハワイに来たらぜひ体験して欲しい。

My two children, an elementary school student and a high school student, said this was the most fun trip they've ever had. You can buy data with an SD card, so it might not be necessary to bring a smartphone. Cash is a must since you'll need to give a tip at the end.

小学生、高校生の子供2人が今回の旅行で一番楽しかったと言ってくれました。
SDカードでデータを買えるのでスマホは持参しなくても良いかも？終了時にチップを渡すのでCASHはマストです。

We are a couple aged 65 and 64. We came to Hawaii for a vacation after retirement. My wife, who has a fear of heights, was reluctant, but we decided to participate as a memorable experience. At first, she was very scared, but as she got used to it, she was able to look down and enjoy the amazing views. The staff was polite and provided good instruction with a sense of humor, and I think the pilot was skilled as well. It was fantastic.

65歳と64歳の夫婦です。
定年退職で有給休暇のためハワイに来ました。高所恐怖症の妻は嫌がったのですが、記念にと思い参加しました。最初は怖い怖いと言っていた妻も慣れると下も見れるようになり最高な景色を眺められました。スタッフも丁寧に教えてくれてユーモアもあり、操縦士の人もうまかったと思います。
最高でした。

The staff was so friendly and entertaining and it was a comfy ride, the food and drinks were great!

We will visit various filming locations, but all while riding in a jeep. They stop briefly to give us time to take photos and videos. We get off once for a short hike of about three minutes to reach a viewpoint! From there, we can overlook two valleys, and the view was absolutely stunning!

ロケ地もちょこちょこっと回りますが、どれもジープに乗車しながらの鑑賞です。写真や動画を撮れるよう、少し停めて時間をくれます。一度下車するのは、3分ほどのハイキングで辿り着ける高台のようなところ！２つの谷を見下ろすことができ、これが絶景でした！

I participated with two friends! I was a bit anxious since I don't drive much, but I was able to drive without any problems! (They show a driving explanation video in Japanese.) The explanation on-site is in English, but the staff were very kind, taking photos for us and really caring about us, who are Japanese and don't speak much English! We enjoyed the beautiful scenery of the greenery, the sea seen from the mountains, and the cute animals, making it enjoyable even for those who aren't movie fans!

あまり車を運転しないので不安でしたが問題なく運転できました！（運転の説明は日本語ビデオを見せてくれます）
現地での説明は英語ですが、スタッフの人はとっても親切で写真を撮ってくれたり英語を話せない日本人の私たちのことをすごく気にかけてくださりました！
緑も山から見る海もかわいい動物達も最高の景色を堪能でき、映画ファンじゃなくても楽しめます♪

I participated with two friends! For someone like me who can't surf, it was my first experience riding the waves, and it was amazing! It was fun to be seen and waved at by various people, which was quite unique. I can only speak Japanese, but there were no issues as they gave instructions in simple English! I highly recommend it!

サーフィンできない私にとっては波に乗るという体験が初めてだったので、最高でした！
珍しかったのか色んな人から見られたり、手を振られたりして、それも含め楽しかったです。
日本語しか話せませんが、簡単な英語で指示出ししてくれるので問題ありませんでした！
おすすめです！

I participated with two friends! The staff were kind and funny, and there were various participants, including couples and families, but we all had a great time on the boat♪ The parasailing was of course amazing, and the boat bouncing on the waves was thrilling and fun. I only speak Japanese, but that was not a problem at all!

スタッフの皆さんは優しくそして面白く、カップルの方、家族で参加してる方など様々でしたが、船の上でとても盛り上がりました♪
パラセーリングはもちろん、船が波で跳ねるのもスリリングで楽しかったです。

I am a 60-year-old woman, and I was able to experience this with peace of mind. The Japanese guide, Sanae, kindly gave me advice. Thank you very much.

60才の女性ですが、安心して体験できました。日本人ガイドのさなえさんが優しくアドバイスをくださいました。ありがとうございました。

The sea had been rough due to the swells for the past three days. However, the kayak launch area was in a bay, allowing for smooth boarding and disembarking. The offshore conditions were calm enough to enjoy kayaking. Although we couldn't go far into the spot due to the waves, we were able to feel the power of nature up close. There were plenty of fish while snorkeling.

3日前からのうなりの影響で海は荒れていました。
しかし、カヤック乗り場は湾になっておりスムーズな乗り降りができました。
沖合は落ち着いて？おりカヤックを楽しむことができました。
スポットは波の影響で中まで入ることはできませんでしたが、大自然の力強さを肌で感じることができました。

The Angel Sea was very beautiful. Thanks to the thorough explanation and practice time for snorkeling, I was able to swim to my heart's content during the actual event. Fortunately, a sea turtle that had been resting in a coral cave came out, and I was able to swim with it.

天使の海とても綺麗でした
シュノーケルの丁寧な説明や練習時間のおかげで本番思う存分泳げました
ラッキーなことに珊瑚の洞穴で寝ていた海亀が出てきてくれて一緒に泳ぐこともできました

First-time parasailing
The reason we chose this one among many options is that it departs conveniently right in front of the Hilton Lagoon where we were staying, and we wanted to experience Hawaii by viewing Waikiki Beach, the city, and Diamond Head from the sky.

We were the only Japanese people there, but the explanations mixed with Japanese were well done, so we didn't feel anxious. Contrary to my expectations of being scared of heights or not being able to open my eyes due to strong winds, it was calm up there, and the three of us were able to have a normal conversation at a regular volume.
I was impressed by the beautiful sea of Waikiki and the stunning mountain scenery, which exceeded my expectations. I absolutely hate roller coasters, but I enjoyed every moment of those two hours.

はじめてのパラセーリング
数ある中でこちらを選んだのは、
宿泊のヒルトンのラグーンのすぐ前からの出航で便利なこと、そしてワイキキビーチや街・ダイヤモンドヘッドを空から眺めてハワイを実感したいことが理由です

日本人は私たちだけでしたが、日本語まじりの説明も上手くて不安は感じませんでした
高いところは怖いかなぁ風が強くて目が開けられないかもなどという予想に反して、上空は静かで三人で普通の音量で会話が出来ました
期待以上のワイキキの美しい海と山の美しい景色に感激です　
ジェットコースターなど大嫌いですが、そんな自分も終始楽しさしかなかった2時間でした

Excellent crew. Very knowledgeable and made sure everyone had a positive experience. All ages can do this experience. We saw humpback whales on the boat ride to snorkeling and a pod of dolphins joined us in the bay while snorkeling. It was a very fun experience and I would highly recommend it.

I was able to come to the movie filming location that I really wanted to visit with my son. It was my first experience driving a four-wheeler and using a left-hand drive. The size of the mountains and the vastness and blueness of the sky were so impressive, and it really boosted my excitement. The two instructors were very helpful, so we had a great time. I am very grateful.

私がとっても行きたかった映画ロケ地に息子と来れました。四輪バギー運転も左利きハンドルも初体験
間近に見える山の大きさ空の広さに青さ、とってもテンションが上がりました。インストラクターのお二人が丁寧に助けてくださったので、楽しく過ごせました。感謝しております。
