It was amazing. Seeing Waikiki from the sky is exceptional. I made the reservation the day before, but the process went smoothly. The meeting point is near the Prince Hotel.

Be aware that you'll need to pay 1 dollar at check-in. Once a few groups gather, we set sail. The boat can sway quite a bit, so be cautious. You can store your belongings in the boat's shelves, but it's recommended to bring only the essentials.

Now, up into the sky. I tried taking photos with a transparent phone case that hangs around my neck. There were some brave souls flying while holding their smartphones directly in their hands.

You can take plenty of pictures in the air, but don't forget to imprint the breathtaking views in your memory as well. In the end, we dove into the sea to finish. I was very satisfied. You can also request photo shooting for 40 dollars.

最高でした。空から見るワイキキは格別です。
予約は前日でしたが、すんなりと手続き完了。集合場所はプリンスホテルの近くです。
受付時に1ドルいるので要注意。
何組か集まれば出港です。船は結構揺れるのでご注意を。
荷物は船の棚に入れられますが、最小限がお勧めです。
いぞ、空へ。私は首からかける透明のスマホケースで撮影を試みました。スマホをそのまま手に持って飛ぶツワモノもいました。
空中では十分撮影できます。ただ自分の目に絶景を焼き付けることもお忘れなく。
最後は海にダイブして終了。大満足でした。
40ドルで写真撮影もお願いできます。

The pickup location is easy to find. We waited a little for the shared ride to depart, but it was smooth to get on. It takes some time as it stops at several hotels. It's cheaper than a taxi, but there are some affordable options with Uber, so depending on the number of people, Uber might be a better deal.

ピックアップの場所はすぐに分かります。
乗り合いのため出発まで少し待ちましたが、すんなりと乗れました。
いくつかのホテルを回るため多少時間はかかります。タクシーよりは割安ですが、Uberだと安いものもあるので、人数によつてはUberの方がお得かもしれません。

The wind was a bit strong, and there were some waves, but it was less rocky than I expected. The crew was also very kind and made me feel safe, allowing me to enjoy the experience.

少し風が強く､波もあったのですが思ったよりも揺れも少なく､クルーも親切に対応してくれて安心して楽しめました。

Self explanatory. They are supposed to be within reach once we get out of airport.
But, we spent 2 hours looking high and low.

Staff were rude because they weren’t English-fluent, and were condescending and not-one-bit helpful when spoken English too.

We all had the best fun! Would highly recommend this to anyone visiting Oahu.
Our group leaders - Jaryn and Sheldon - shared wonderful cultural stories and history with a great sense of fun. Great for all ages - our group was aged between 15-79 and everyone rated it their most fun activity in Hawaii! Thanks Kualoa Ranch!

Captain Kauai and crew were absolutely amazing! Loved hearing the history of Hawaii. The food was great! Could not have asked for a better cruise. Thank you for making our vacation a memorable one. Highly recommended!!

It was amazing up to 150 meters above ground.
I had a very enjoyable time while looking at Diamond Head.
If you ask the staff for photos, it costs $40, and you can get an SD card.

150メートル上空まで最高でした。
ダイヤモンドヘッドを眺めながら、とても楽しい時間でした。
写真もスタッフにお願いすると40💲て、SDカードもらえます。

It's very convenient since transportation is included. Using CHIEKO's fins as a marker, it felt very safe and comfortable. I was quite impressed to see turtles coming up to the surface for air several times. We were all thrilled to see turtles in a different location as well. Of course, there were plenty of fish too. Since both my husband and I are 65 years old, we would love to go again if we have the chance. Thank you, CHIEKO!

送迎付きですのでとにかく便利です。CHIEKOさんの足ひれを目印にとても安全でとても気持ちがよく、亀が呼吸のために水面に顔を出すしぐさを数回見られかなり感激しました。また違う場所で亀を見られて参加者皆またまた感激。もちろん魚もたくさんいました。夫婦共に65歳なので機会があればまた行きたいと思っています。CHIEKOさんに感謝です。

The overwhelming physical performance and the historical narrative of the stage story were wonderful. Additionally, there were performances that brought the audience up on stage to enjoy together, keeping everyone engaged. In the end, the entire audience gave a standing ovation to express their gratitude to the performers. I will definitely go see it again if I have the chance.

圧倒的な肉体パフォーマンスと歴史物語的な舞台ストーリーが素晴らしかった。また、途中では観客をステージに上げて一緒に楽しめるパフォーマンスがあったり観客を飽きさせません。
最後は観客全員かスタンディングオベーションで演者に感謝してました。また、機会があれば観に行きます。

The sunset and night view are beautiful.
The service was good, and the meat was delicious.
I paid for a window seat guarantee, but it felt like I wasted my money since only the window seats were used.
The price was high, so my expectations were great, but there was no excitement that matched the cost.
Everyone was unsure whether to tip or not.
If a tip is necessary, it should be stated in advance; otherwise, it's unfortunate for the serving crew.

夕日と夜景は綺麗です。
サービスも良く、お肉は美味しかった。
窓側確約料金を払ったが、実際は窓側しか使用されておらず、無駄なお金を払ってしまった気分になった。
料金が高いので期待が大きかったが、料金に見合った感動はない。
チップを払うのか否か皆が迷っていた。
チップが必要なら事前に記載しないと、サーブする船員の方々がかわいそうだ。

I had been to see the wall art before, but this time I joined a Segway tour because I was tired from walking. At first, I was worried about whether I could ride it properly, but even someone as uncoordinated as I am was able to master it without any issues after about 40 minutes of practice. Although the area has become much safer, it's reassuring to have a guide in the warehouse district. There were artworks that I wouldn't have found on foot, and I was able to take photos, making it a very memorable experience.

ウォールアートは見に行ったことあったけど、歩き疲れたので今回、セグウェイで廻れるツアーに参加しました。
最初、ちゃんと乗れるか心配でしたが、超運動音痴の私でも40分くらいの練習で問題なく乗りこなすことができました。
ずいぶん治安が良くなったとはいえ倉庫街ですので案内してもらえるのが安心です。
歩きでは見つけられなかったアートも案内されて写真も撮ってもらえるのでとても思い出になりました。

I'm glad I participated as I was able to feel the nature of Hawaii up close. The driver and guide shared various stories during the drive and on the way to the waterfall, which was enjoyable. The view from Tantalus Lookout and the lunch sandwiches were also excellent. I also stopped by the office and purchased Kona coffee as a souvenir, which received great reviews.

間近にハワイの自然を感じることができて参加して良かったです。
車中でも滝までの道中でもドライバーさん、ガイドさんが色々お話してくださり楽しかったです。タンタラスの丘からの眺望もランチのサンドイッチも最高でした。
また立ち寄ったオフィスで、お土産にコナコーヒーを購入しましたが大変好評でした。

We experienced this as a family of four (husband, wife, and two daughters). We drove from Honolulu in a rental car, and what we thought would be just a drive turned out to be a very meaningful time. It is true that our backsides got a bit sore, but I think it's worth it for an extraordinary experience. The area does have some rain, but if it doesn't rain, it's perfect for enjoying nature.

家族4人（夫婦、娘2人）で体験しました。ホノルルからレンタカーで行きましたがドライブがてらのつもりが大変有意義な時間を過ごすことができました。たしかに少しお尻が痛くなりますが非日常的な時間を過ごすには、良いと思います。
場所がら雨がある地域ですが降らなければ自然満喫には最高です。

The weather was great, the staff were amazing, and the conditions for both the sea and the boat were perfect.
Seeing the Diamond Head and the city of Waikiki from offshore was also a delight.
I have added another wonderful memory to my collection.
Next time, I want to try a different time slot.
I recommend it to anyone with a little free time.
BIG MAHARO

お天気良好スタッフさん最高海も船もコンディション申し分無し
沖合から見るダイヤモンドベッドとワイキキの街も一興
何をとってもいい思い出がひとつ追加されました
今度は違う時間帯でも乗ってみたい
少しの空き時間のある方にお勧めします
BIG MAHARO

I visited during the first half of my trip. Since it was about war, it wasn't exactly fun, but I reaffirmed the importance of being present in that space to learn and feel. Hawaii is like a paradise, but I also felt it is a place where, as a Japanese person, I need to confront history. Alex, a Japanese guide, taught us various things. There were other Japanese people as well, so I think they adjust their responses depending on the situation. Everyone was kind and approached us warmly.

I also learned about the local people's and Americans' perspectives on Japan, as well as information about the USS Arizona.

The most challenging part was figuring out how to get there, so I’ll note that down. We took the bus from Waikiki to Pearl Harbor, which took just over an hour. Ideally, a taxi would be quicker, but this way, we could enjoy the local atmosphere at a leisurely pace. Once we arrived at Pearl Harbor by bus, we headed straight towards the sea. After checking our bags, we were allowed in. I brought a small pouch, but it wasn't allowed. Only items smaller than the wallet at the entrance can be brought in. There is no cost here.

After passing through the gate and heading right, a shuttle bus was waiting. It stops at the USS Missouri and the aircraft viewing area in order, taking about 10 minutes. We got off at the Missouri. We walked towards the battleship. At the lower entrance, we showed our printed voucher barcode to get in. Once on the deck of the battleship, they asked for our tour guide preferences, and when I requested Japanese, Alex came out to assist us. At that time, there were three groups, including us, totaling five people together.

He explained for a while, and then we explored the battleship on our own. This took about two hours in total. It was great that the bus fare was only three dollars, but the round trip took too long, so we took an Uber back.

I actually wanted to spend more time there, but we ran out of time before closing. I hope to visit the Arizona Memorial and the aircraft viewing area next time.

旅の前半に行きました。戦争のことなので楽しい、というのとはまた違いますが、その場に身を置いて学び感じることの大切さを再認識しました。ハワイは楽園のような場所ですが、日本人として歴史と向き合う必要がある場所であるとも思いました。日本のガイドのアレックスさんが、色々教えてくれます。他の日本の方もいらしたので、その時によって対応してくださるのだと思います。どの方も親切に声をかけてくださいます。
現地民やアメリカ人の日本への所感やアリゾナ戦艦のことなども教えていただきました。

一番難しかったのは行き方についてだったので書いておきます。
当方は、ザバスでワイキキからパールハーバーへ行きました。一時間ちょっとかかりました。
本当は時短にはタクシーが良いのですが、これはこれで現地の雰囲気をゆっくり味わえてよかったです。
ザバスでパールハーバーについたらまっすぐ海の方へすすみます。荷物を預けたら、通してくれます。小さいポーチを持って行きましたが、ダメでした。入り口にあるお財布と比べて小さいものしか持ち込めません。
ここではお金はかかりません。
門を通過して右へ進むとシャトルバスが待機していました。
そこから10分くらい、まずミズーリ戦艦そして航空機見学できる場所に順に停まります。私たちはミズーリの方でおりました。
戦艦目指して歩きます。
下の入り口で印刷したバウチャーバーコードを提示すると入れてくれます。
戦艦のデッキに上がるとツアーガイドの希望を聞いてくれて、日本語をお願いするとアレックスさんが出てきてくれました。この時間帯は私たちいれて3組、5名が一緒でした。
しばらく説明をしてくださり、戦艦内は自分たちで見学するスタイルです。これ全部で二時間くらいはかかってしましました。
ザバスは、三ドルで行けたのも良かったですが流石に往復バスは時間が勿体無いので、かえりはウーバーで帰りました。

本当は時間をもっととりたかったのですが、閉館時間になってしまい叶わず。また次回アリゾナ記念館や航空機見学にも行きたいです。

City Lights was incredibly enjoyable. This time, since it was the 40th anniversary, there were many beautiful illuminations, making it quite festive. However, the voucher pickup location was listed as "Waikiki Shopping Plaza - Royal Hawaiian Avenue entrance," but in reality, it was across the road from that entrance. I almost got left behind. They were also 15 minutes late, which meant I couldn't enjoy the pre-event. Other than that, I was satisfied.

シティライツは最高に楽しめました。今回は40周年というかとで，イルミネーション飾りも沢山あり、華やかでした。ただ、バウチャーのピックアップ場所は「 ワイキキ ショッピング プラザ - ロイヤルハワイアン通り側出入口」となっていたが、実際は「 ワイキキ ショッピング プラザ - ロイヤルハワイアン通り側出入口の道路向い側」であり、危うく置いていかれるとこでした。時間も15分も遅れてくるし。お陰で事前のイベントも楽しめず。それ以外は満足でした。

I took motion sickness medication based on other people's reviews and participated. At first, the speed of the boat was quite fast, and it felt like I was on a roller coaster, so I wasn't worried about getting seasick. The parasailing was at a high altitude, but I didn't feel scared at all, and I could see many tall buildings, which was very pleasant. My elderly mother had no issues and said she would like to participate again. A foreign couple in their 70s who were on the same boat mentioned it was their third time, so it seems there are many repeat customers!

他の方の口コミも参考にして、酔い止めを内服して参加しました。
最初かなり船のスピードが速く、ジェットコースターに乗っているような気分だったので
酔うかもしれないと心配になることはありませんでした。
パラセーリングは高い位置でしたが、全然怖さも感じず、高いビルもたくさん見えて
とても気持ちよかったです。
高齢の母も問題なく、また参加したいと言ってました。
同じ船に乗っていた70歳代の外国人夫婦は3回目とのことで、リピーターが多そうです！

The pickup arrived just a little earlier than the meeting time. The meeting point was easy to find. The driver was pleasant.

待ち合わせ時間よりほんの少し早く迎えが来た。待ち合わせは分かりやすかった。
運転手の方は感じがよかった。

It was a transfer from Kona. There was a staff member in front of the baggage claim area calling out guests' names, which made it easy to understand. Once all the guests gathered, they took us to the car location.

コナからの移動でした。荷物受け取り場所の前に係員がいて、お客の名前を呼んでいて分かりやすかった。お客がそろったら車の場所に連れて行ってくれた。

I don't think too many people know about this, but it is an excellent experience. Our driver was a Waipio local who drove us down into the valley - a sacred place in Hawaiian culture - and showed us the beauty, the self-sufficient culture, and the hydroponics. We also got to see horses extremely up close on the way back (this is not guaranteed though). Most of all, I appreciated the commitment to preserving nature and living in harmony with it. Do go and check it out!

Our tour guides Jess and Ivan were knowledgeable and a lot of fun. We were on the 2 hour UTV Raptor Tour and had a great time. Highly recommend when on Oahu.

It was snorkeling that even beginners could do. I was worried because various explanations were given on the boat, but it was an activity that my family could enjoy at a leisurely pace.

初心者でもできるシュノーケリングでした。船の中で色々説明されたので、心配になりましたが、家族でゆっくり楽しめるアクティビティでした。

The best decision on Big Island
I enjoyed every moment of the ride with K who has so much knowledge about Waipio being from the valley
100% recommend

Great crew and great scenery. Saw beautiful coastline and lots of wildlife.

I made a reservation around 8 o'clock, but I think as long as you have your tickets, it shouldn't be a problem if you don't worry too much about the time. Since there is traffic from Waikiki in the morning, I recommend taking it easy.

８時ぐらいからの予約で行きましたがチケットさえ買ってあればそんなに時間気にせず行っても問題無さそうだと思います
朝はワイキキから渋滞するのでのんびり行く事をオススメします

I participated in snorkeling for the first time with my friends. Thanks to Chieko-sensei's kind instruction, I was able to swim very happily. I saw a lot of fish as well. I want to do it again!

初めてのシュノーケリングを友達と参加しました。ちえこ先生が優しく教えてくれたおかげで、とても楽しく泳ぐことができました。たくさんお魚も見れました。またやりたいです

Best tour to snorkel, tube rides and banana boat rides.

Had a great time on and off the boat. Lots of snorkeling, tubing, banana boat, kayaking, and paddling. Recommend to everyone

The sea was incredibly beautiful! It was a bit cloudy, so it would have been even more stunning on a sunny day. There were fish around the rocky areas, but you have to go quite far out to find more rocky spots, so the elementary school kids couldn't reach the areas where the fish were. However, we had a great time just at the water's edge, so I was very satisfied! The lunch was delicious no matter what we chose! We made wonderful memories!!

とっても綺麗な海でした！少し曇りぎみだったので晴天だったらもっと綺麗だったんだろーなぁ。
岩場には魚もいましたが結構沖まで行かないとあまり岩場はないので小学生では魚がいるような岩場までは行けませんでした。
でも波打ち際だけでもかなり楽しんでいたので大満足です！
ランチもどれを選んでも美味しかったです！いい思い出が作れました！！

We loved the Waipio valley tour and our guide was awesome! He grew up and lives in the valley and we learned so much! We are glad we did the tour down into the valley instead of just visiting the lookout.
