It's okay because they speak broken Japanese.
If you get motion sickness, it's essential to take motion sickness medication.
Going up is not scary, but since they pull the parasailing, the boat goes fast.

乗り物酔いする方は酔い止め必須。
上がりは怖くないですが、
パラセーリングを引っ張るので船の早さがあります。

We got on the van and descended into Waipi'o Valley. At the entrance of the steep slope, the guide offered a prayer before we entered the valley.

There are breathtaking views that are not visible from the observation deck.

I was moved by the guide's love for their hometown.

I think it would be better to do a little research beforehand.

It was meant to be an active experience, but the slow driving in the buggy felt more like sightseeing, which was disappointing. The fact that only a maximum of two people can drive was also a challenge.

The local guide spoke only English, so I couldn't understand what was being said.

When I entered, there was someone who spoke Japanese and explained the experience options (there were several types, including horseback riding), which helped me know where to check in. However, if it had been only in English... that would have been terrifying.

入館時に説明して頂いた方が日本語話せる方でしたので、体験内容（乗馬など数種類あり）により受付する場所がわかりましたが、英語だけだったとしたら、、、ゾッとします。

I boarded a boat with a group of four Japanese and foreign people! The height was really high!! It was amazing to be able to see the city of Waikiki and Diamond Head the whole time!

日本人と外国人4グループで船に乗りました！高さは本当に高い！！ワイキキの街とダイヤモンドヘッドをずーっと見てられるのはとても素晴らしかったです！

For about two hours, my husband was driving while I sat in the passenger seat, and it was incredibly fun! I wore a helmet, goggles, and a bandana covering my mouth, so my whole face was covered, but the dust was intense, and my face ended up completely black, with my clothes covered in dust as well. However, it was a unique experience that I was very satisfied with!

約２時間、主人が運転で、私は助手席でしたが、めちゃくちゃ楽しかったです！
ヘルメットかぶってゴーグルもして、口をおおうバンダナもいただき顔全体をおおってましたが、砂ほこりがすごく顔も真っ黒で洋服も全てほこってましたが、なかなかできない体験だったので満足でした！

Lovely location, fabulous food, super service, entertaining entertainment. We are glad we had premium seating. But, every seat is fantastic.

It was my first time on Kauai Island, and it was a fun day with a new Hawaiian experience. Waimea Canyon and Spouting Horn were great, but on the cruise, I got to listen to Hawaiian music and watch local dances, which made me feel immersed in the ancient dynasty. The food was also delicious with many options to choose from.

カウアイ島は始めてでしたが、新しいハワイの体験が出来て楽しい一日でした。ワイメア渓谷や潮吹き岩も良かったが、クルーズでは、ハワイアンを聞きながら地元の方のダンスも観られ古代王朝の気分に浸れました。食事も選択肢が多く美味しかったです。

Giggles and his cousin where great tour guides. Very informative. Will highly recommend you guys to our friends.

I was anxious about taking my elementary school children, who are not great swimmers, but they were so absorbed in searching for fish in the beautiful sea that they eagerly moved forward and had a lot of fun. As a mother with limited stamina, I could barely keep up. Although I chose the tour, my family was very satisfied, and it became the most wonderful experience of our stay in Hawaii.

I didn't reserve wetsuits in advance, but I was advised that they not only help with cold protection but also reduce the risk of injury, so I rented one on the day. I was glad I did, as I ended up bumping my feet.

Dan and Chieko were great people, and it was a lovely tour. Thank you very much.

泳ぎの得意ではない小学生の子供達を連れて
不安がありましたが、綺麗な海での魚探しに夢中でグイグイ前に進む、とても楽しんでくれました。体力のない母は着いて行くので精一杯。私が選んだツアーでしたが、家族は大満足でハワイ滞在中の1番素敵な体験となりました。
事前にウェットスーツは予約しませんでしたが、寒さ対策だけでなく、怪我しにくいと勧めていただき、当日レンタルしましたが、実際足をぶつけたりしたので着ていて良かったです。
ダンさん、ちえこさんの人柄が良く雰囲気の良いツアーでした。ありがとうございました。

The instructor closely follows up to ensure that participants can keep up, and they manage safety well. I highly recommend it!

So fun, very professional, and great guys leading our group.

I participated with my 7-year-old child. We chose the higher option, but we were able to enjoy it. We received many photos with big smiles, which became a nice memory. I was unclear about what the selectable free perks were.

高い方にしましたが、楽しく参加することができました。
満面の笑みの写真もたくさんいただき記念になりました。
選べる無料特典が何なのか不明でした。

The comfortable boat navigation prevented any seasickness. The staff were cheerful, fun, and entertaining. I was nervous before flying, but once in the air, the beautiful scenery was overwhelming. I was deeply moved by the breathtaking views that made me forget my fears. I would love to participate again.

快適な船操縦で船酔いもありませんでした。スタッフの方も明るく楽しく面白かったです。飛ぶ前は緊張しましたが、飛べば素敵な景色ざんまい。怖さを飛び越し素晴らしい景観に感動しきりでした。また参加したいです。

It was thrilling and the best experience. I didn't expect it to be this much fun before participating. I will definitely join again when I go to Hawaii.

スリルがあって最高でした
参加前はこんなに楽しいとは思っていませんでした
またハワイに行ったら必ずまた参加します

We had a great time would do it again !! Water was warm!!

Captain shyla, Rivas and jesse, Preston and guy....the whole crew are top notch people.
Always a great time and we will be back.

My two friends and teenage son went on this sunset sail and had an absolutely beautiful time. The sunset colors were stunning, and dolphins played along the bow of the boat as we were underway. It was magical! Crew was great. Drinks were yummy. It was a great thing to do on our last night in Hawaii. Highly recommend.

The weather was nice, and it was great to see many sea turtles up close. In November, it's better to wear a wetsuit. I recommend it for kids.

気候も良く海ガメを近くでたくさん見れてよかったです。11月はウェットスーツを来た方がいいです。子供におすすめです。

I would like to make this post in respect for the instructor. The prior communication and consultation, as well as the responses, were accurate and kind, which made me feel at ease even before traveling to the United States. My child, who cannot swim, gave up halfway, but they still did their best to accommodate us (thanks to them, my child was able to see a turtle and seemed very satisfied). There were no negative aspects, including safety, so I can confidently recommend this tour to anyone.

インストラクターさんに敬意を表する意味でも投稿をいたします。
事前連絡、相談、それに対する回答も的確かつ親切で、渡米前から安心することができました。
泳げない我が子は途中でギブアップしましたが、それでもできる限りの対応をして頂きました（我が子はおかげさまで亀も見れて大満足だった様子です）
安全面を含めマイナス要素はありませんでしたので、どのような方にも間違いなくオススメのツアーです。

Since it was a weekday, it was quite empty, and we could slide down all those slides without any waiting time! The kids were so happy. I want to go again!

平日だったこともあって、かなり空いててあんなスライダーこんなスライダーが待ち時間なしで滑り放題！子供達大喜びでした。また行きたい！

Riding in a submarine and seeing the underwater world was an exciting experience for both adults and children. The kids especially seemed to enjoy understanding the differences compared to an aquarium during the boarding process. Additionally, the friendly staff made it a fun experience.

潜水艦に乗り海底海中を見れるのは大人も子供もドキドキ経験でした。特に子供たちは水族館との違いを乗船過程で分かったようで楽しんでいました。それとスタッフのフレンドリーな対応が楽しかったです。

One of the very best tours I’ve ever been on. A must see/do activity while on Oahu. Johnny and Ikaika were super fun and informative guides. Thank you for the best time!

For those of us in our 60s, it was a nostalgic favorite song. The dancing was also great. The fire dance was the best. The food had improved compared to before.

我々６０代にとっては懐かしい好みの曲でした。ダンスも上手かった。ファイヤーダンスは最高でした。料理も以前より良くなっていた。

I participated with my 3-year-old and 5-year-old. The captain was kind, and the tour content was excellent! I thought the water would be about knee-deep, but during high tide, it was up to my chest, which was unexpected (laughs). I was very satisfied as I got to see many fish and sea turtles.

3歳と5歳を連れて参加。キャプテンも優しく、ツアーの内容も最高でした！膝下くらいの水面かと思いきや、満潮時で胸上くらいまであったのは想定外だったけど（笑）たくさんの魚とホヌもみれて大満足でした。

I booked a trip with Dolphin University, but I received a call the evening before saying that they couldn't secure my reservation because they were busy. They asked if I could change my pickup time from 5:30 PM to 11:00 AM. Since I had plans in the afternoon, I inquired about cancellation fees, and the response was vague, saying, "It's not decided yet." I was left waiting for a call without knowing when it would come, and when I called back internationally, they told me to switch to Dolphin Junior High. I was informed that the boat would not have a slide and that swimming with dolphins would be different.

Since I had a 4-year-old and a 6-year-old with me, I was anxious about how the changes would affect us, but they said, "The children's feelings will determine if they can swim."

When we actually went, the boat was quite small, and the waves were high, making it impossible for the kids to swim with the dolphins, so we ended up watching from the boat. Additionally, the dolphins were in the middle of raising their young and swam away. (This is understandable, but the dolphin swim at Dolphin University should have ended by the end of October.)

Fortunately, the child who is prone to seasickness did not get sick, but it was disappointing that the 4-year-old couldn't enjoy it much due to the small boat.

Also, the instructions for entering the water were all in English, possibly because our family was the only Japanese group, which made me anxious as I had to act as an interpreter.

I wouldn't recommend this tour for those who are not used to such experiences or who are not comfortable with sudden changes. Personally, I was satisfied to see the dorsal fins of the dolphins and to go snorkeling, but I can't help but wonder how it would have been at Dolphin University. Given the size of the boat and the scale of the tour, I felt the price was high (even considering the weak yen).

イルカ大学を予約しましたが、前日夕方に電話があり、遊んでいたために取れなかったため、折り返すと、5時半ピックアップではなく、11時のものに変更できないかという打診でした。午後の予定を入れていたため、キャンセル料がかかるのかなど聞くと、「まだ決定したわけではないから」と歯切れの悪い返事。また、電話すると言われていつ頃かもわからない電話を待ち、また取れずにこちらから国際電話で再度折り返すと、「イルカ中学に変更してください。」と。スライダーがない船になることと、イルカと泳げるという点が異なると言われました。
4歳と6歳が一緒だったので、変更がどうなるか不安でしたが、「お子様の気持ち次第で泳げます」と。
実際行くと、かなり小さなボートで波がかなり高い場所でイルカと泳ぐのは子供は無理そうだったため、船から見学した。また、イルカは子育て中であり、逃げてしまった。（これは仕方ないが、そもそもイルカ大学のドルフィンスイムは10月末で終わっていたはず）
酔いやすい子供が酔わなかったのは幸いだったが、船も小さく、4歳はあまり楽しめていなかったのが残念だった。
また、入水時の説明が、日本人が私達家族だけだったからか、全て英語で、私が通訳のように説明しなければならなかったのが不安だった。
このようなツアーに慣れていない方や、突然の変更に慣れない方にはおすすめしません。
個人的にはイルカの背鰭が見学できて、シュノーケリングができて満足しましたが、イルカ大学だったらどうだったのか・・・と考えてしまいます。また、この内容（ボートの大きさやツアー規模）だとしたらダイビングでもなくこの値段はお高く感じました。（円安を考慮しても）

We had a great time at the Smith’s Luau. Enjoyed the atmosphere and food. The experience was amazing and the entertainment was excellent!!

This time, I challenged myself to parasailing (150m), and it was thrilling! It had just the right amount of fear, not quite like a roller coaster, and I had a lot of fun.

今回はパラセーリング(150m)にチャレンジしてきましたが、迫力もあるしジェットコースターのような怖さまで行かないぐらいのちょうどいい感じの怖さでめっちゃ楽しかったです。

The live music, the whole setup and all the activities. Top notch.

You can fully enjoy horseback riding in the great outdoors for two hours. An instructor is present to provide riding advice as needed, so you can feel at ease.

Since horses are living creatures, they may make unpredictable movements, but that added to the emotional experience. Overall, they seemed calm and well-trained. I don't think you can enjoy horseback riding this much in Japan, so I initially thought it was expensive, but in the end, I was very satisfied with the cost performance.

2時間たっぷり大自然の中、乗馬を満喫することができます。インストラクターの方が1名ついてくれ、適宜乗り方のアドバイスをくれるので安心して過ごせます。
お馬さんは生き物なので予測不能な動きをすることもありますが、そこも含めてとても感動する体験でした。基本、みんな穏やかでしっかり調教されている印象です。日本ではこんなにたっぷり乗馬を楽しむことはできないと思うので、当初は高いかと思いましたが、終わってみればコスパの面でも大満足でした。

Yoshi was so enthusiastic & the tour was so well organised. The sunset was spectacular! But the stars & planets he showed us made our night esp Saturn & Jupiter - just WOW!
