Outstanding staff! Awesome experience for kids and adults! Beautiful island!

We didn't get to see any turtles but there were lots of fish. Overall we had a good time

I got lost and arrived late for the meeting time, but the staff kindly guided me. The moving boat was going quite fast, and I was filled with fear thinking about being pulled at that speed, but once I took off, I didn't feel the speed in the sky and was able to enjoy the scenery gracefully. Since the boat sways a lot, I think it's better to take motion sickness medication.

道に迷ってしまい集合時間に遅れて到着したのですが、スタッフさんが優しく案内してくださいました。移動の船はかなりのスピードが出ていて、この速さで引っ張られるのかとかなり恐怖心を煽られましたが、飛んでみると空の上ではスピードは感じず優雅に景色を楽しむことができました。
船の揺れがすごいので酔い止めは飲んだ方が良いと思います。

I was moved by the incredibly beautiful sea. There was transportation to the main points in Waikiki, and there was a Japanese guide on the boat who provided plenty of explanations, so I felt secure and enjoyed myself. I was able to try SUP, which I had always wanted to do, and I saw many fish while snorkeling (although I didn't get to see any sea turtles…). For snacks, there were donuts, and the soft drinks available were water, orange juice, and hot water. There is a changing room on the boat, so it's better to bring a change of clothes. You will end up freezing on the air-conditioned bus ride back.
It seems that you need to go with a different tour company to visit the so-called sandbar (a beach surrounded by the sea). The area we played in was shallow enough to stand, but it was a bit deeper in some spots.

とにかく綺麗な海で感動しました。ワイキキの主要ポイントへの送迎があり、船には日本人のガイドさんも乗っていたので説明も十分にしていただき安心して楽しめました。ずっとやってみたかったSUPもできたし、シュノーケリングではたくさんの魚が見れました。(ウミガメには会えませんでした…)軽食にはドーナツ、ソフトドリンクは水、オレンジジュース、お湯がありました。船の中に更衣室があるので着替えを持っていったほうがいいです。凍えながら冷房の効いたバスで帰ることになります。
いわゆるサンドバー(海に囲まれた砂浜)は別のツアー会社じゃないといけないみたいです。我々が遊んだ海は足がつくけどちょっと深めのところでした。

It may have been a coincidence, but the Japanese were only among themselves. I was a bit anxious since there were no explanations in Japanese, but I was able to enjoy dolphins and snorkeling in a world without Japanese, which was different from Waikiki, without any major issues.

たまたまかもしれませんが、日本人は自分たちだけ。
日本語の説明は一切ないので不安もありましたが、大きく困ることもなく、ワイキキとは違う日本語のない世界でイルカやシュノーケルを楽しめました。

This is my second experience, following last year. At first, I feel nervous, but it's very pleasant and a fun activity.

去年に続き、2回目の体験です。
初めはドキドキしますが、とても気持ちがよく、楽しいアクティビティです。

What an amazing place, everyone was super friendly and we had a blast!! Cool places to stop and take pictures. Don't forget to bring a change of clothes.

Start from the beach at the Royal Hawaiian.
When you show the VELTRA voucher (on your smartphone screen) at the poolside reception of the Royal Hawaiian, your check-in is complete. You can take off your shoes and have your bag stored. There may be someone who speaks Japanese among the staff.

We participated as two adults and three children (a high schooler, a middle schooler, and an elementary schooler), and we all got on one canoe, along with the captain and the paddler, totaling seven people. Everyone except for the small children basically needs to paddle. It requires quite a bit of strength. It can be tiring.

However, the refreshing feeling of gliding smoothly over Waikiki Beach is wonderful. You typically make about three round trips. (There isn't much time to take photos, but I think it's possible to take selfies if you waterproof your device perfectly.)

Additionally, they take photos for you, and if you pay, they have a system to send them to you online. I think it was around $60.

ロイヤルハワイアンの砂浜からスタート。
ロイヤルハワイアンのプールサイドの受付にベルトラバウチャー（スマホ画面）を見せると受付完了。靴を脱いで、バッグも預かってもらえます。女性の日本語がわかる方がいらっしゃる場合があります。

大人2人子供3人（高校生、中学生、小学生）で参加しましたが、1台のカヌーにのり、船長と漕ぎ手が乗り合計7人でのります。小さな子供以外は、基本的に漕ぐ必要があります。結構な力で漕ぎます。疲れます。

ただ、ワイキキビーチを颯爽と滑る爽快さは素晴らしい。大体３往復くらいしてくれます。（写真を撮る余裕はあまりないですが、防水完ぺきにして自撮りすることは可能と思います）

なお、写真は先方で撮ってくれていますが、お金を払えばネットで送ってくれるシステムです。60ドルくらいだった気がします。

You don't need to speak Japanese fluently; just asking a few questions will be fine. You can show the voucher from Veltra (on your smartphone) at the store, and they will understand.

First, you'll put on surf boots and a rash guard. (The boots are bundled with rubber bands by size, so just pick a pair. The rash guard is yellow for those in the photo pack and navy blue for everyone else.)

After that, you'll watch a short video and walk to the beach. *You can't take your wallet or smartphone with you, as you'll need to leave them in the store's locker. If you want to take photos, it's a good idea to ask a friend who isn't surfing to help.*

Once you pass in front of the Honolulu Zoo and reach the beach, you'll carry your board to the sand. There will be about nine participants with three coaches. After a brief practice of getting on and standing on the board, you'll head out immediately. You'll paddle out to the ocean on your own, which can be quite tiring at this stage.

Once you're out in the water, the three coaches will help you catch the waves, making it easy to ride. You'll be able to stand up right away. After that, you'll enjoy surfing back and forth for about an hour. In the later part, I often practiced catching waves on my own without relying on the coaches.

It's perfectly fine for children aged middle school and older.

日本語は基本通じませんが、適当に聞いておけばOK。
店舗でベルトラのバウチャー（スマホ画面）を見せれば伝わります。
まず、サーフブーツとラッシュガードを着ます。（ブールはサイズごとにゴムで束ねてあるので、適当に掃きましょう。ラッシュガードは写真パックの人は黄色、通常の場合は紺色と決まっています）

その後、簡単なビデオを見て歩いて浜まで行きます。
※財布やスマホなどは店のロッカーに預けるので、持っていけません。写真を撮りたい場合は、サーフィンをしない仲間に依頼すると良いかと思います。

ホノルル動物園の前を抜けて浜についたら、ボードを担いで砂浜まで。大体9人くらいの参加者に3人くらいのコーチが付きます。ボードに乗ったり、立ったりする練習を簡単に行えば、即出航です。自分でパドリングして沖まで行きます。この段階で結構しんどいです。

その後、沖に出たらコーチ3人が波を読んで押してくれるので簡単に乗ることができます。全然一発で立てます。その後、1時間くらい行ったり来たりしながらサーフィンを楽しみます。後半はコーチに頼らずに自分で波をつかむ練習をしていることが多かったです。

中学生以上の子供であれば、全然OKです。

I like the driver, he was kind and the bus is clean, the staff on the boat was professional, my family is so happy , I will join again when we visit Hawaii, thanks for your service.

I visited on a Saturday, and it wasn't crowded, so we were able to enjoy the slides smoothly! My two children, both in the third grade, were very satisfied sliding down the slides. The wind was strong, so it occasionally felt cold, but when we were in the sun, it got quite hot, making it difficult to regulate our body temperature, haha.

土曜日の利用でしたが、混んでおらずすいすいとスライダーを楽しめました！小学生３年の子供２人も、スライダーで滑って大満足です。風が強いので、時折寒く感じることはいつもですが、日当たりにいるとかなり焼けるので体温調整が難しいですｗ

This river boat tour was very relaxing and enjoyable. Our guides were talented, insightful, and had a great sense of humor. The fern grotto was a lovely stroll. The live entertainment set the mood for the rest of our trip. If you are weary about going on this river boat, don’t be, it is a sweet smooth ride. We highly recommend doing this tour while visiting Kauai.

This is my third time at Wet 'n' Wild Hawaii. Last time, my grandchild was only a year and a half old, so they don't remember it, but this time they are 8 years old and were the first to jump into the pool and have fun! I felt that there were fewer Japanese visitors compared to last time. I could really see how the strong yen is affecting places like this! We talked as a family about how nice it would be to come back again next year while riding the bus home.

今回で3回目のウエット　アンド　ワイルド　ハワイ　前回孫は未だ1歳半だったので覚えていないのですが、今回は8歳になって来たので、誰よりも早くプールに入って楽しんでいました❣️
前回に比べて日本人が少なくなったのを感じました⁉️
こんな場所にも円高が影響しているのを目の当たりに感じました‼️
又来年もこられたら良いのになっと家族で話しながらバスに乗って帰りました

This is probably one of the best excursions we’ve done in Hawaii as it includes snorkeling, paddle boarding and canoes all in one price. At an additional charge we added tubing and banana boat for children and they loved it. We did the morning excursion and that includes donuts and punch which is a sugar overload, I would suggest bringing breakfast/snacks. We all had a great time

We participated with our daughter and her husband, along with our one-year-old granddaughter. The buffet had a wide variety of delicious food! In a fun atmosphere, we headed to the show. I was worried about how our granddaughter would react since she is so small, but once the music started, she got into it and danced all the way to the end. She had the most fun of all! Thank you for the wonderful memories of Hawaii!

娘夫婦と1歳の孫娘と私達夫婦で、参加しました。ブッフェも、種類が多く美味しかったです！楽しい雰囲気のままショーへ　孫が小さいので、どうなるか心配でしたが、音楽がかかるとノリノリで踊りだして最後まで、孫が、一番楽しんでました。楽しいハワイの思い出をありがとうございました！

Not only on the boat, but I was also able to see sea turtles while snorkeling. It was cloudy and the sea was cold that day, but I was able to enjoy it, and it became a wonderful memory.

船上だけでなくシュノーケリングの時にもうウミガメを見ることができました。
当日は曇っていて海は寒かったですが、楽しむことができ、とても良い思い出になりました。

Just before getting on the banana boat, the children were scared of falling into the sea, but the staff noticed this and drove at just the right speed (fast enough, but without sudden turns or creating waves). By the end of the banana boat ride, the children were all smiles and very happy.

During snorkeling, another staff member casually chatted with the children, who were nervous about their first snorkeling experience, using a friendly Kansai dialect (they were a local). This helped ease their tension.

Thanks to this, we were able to create wonderful memories for the whole family.

バナナボートに乗る直前で、こどもたちが海に落ちることを怖がってしまったのですが、それを察知したスタッフさんが、ちょうど良い加減の運転（スピードはそこそこあるものの、急に曲がったり波を立てるような運転はしない）をしてくれて、バナナボートが終わるころにはこどもたちは笑顔で大喜びでした。
シュノーケリング時には、はじめてのシュノーケリングに緊張しているこどもたちに対して、別のスタッフさんが気さくに（関西弁でw 現地の方ですがww）話しかけてくれて、緊張をといてくれました。
おかげで、家族全員にとって楽しい思い出にすることができました。

It was my first experience with a buggy, and I had a great time. I was especially glad that my two grandchildren participated and were so delighted.

初めてのバギー体験でしたが、大変楽しくすごすことができました。とくに二人の孫が大喜びで参加して本当によかったと思いました。

I suggest to book this activity early. I wanted to book the ATV tour that is driven by us but those reservations were all gone. The only option was to be driven by a tour expert and I have to say that was the best! Our expert was very knowledgeable and friendly. If I would do it again I would definitely choose the option to be driven be an expert. The ranch is beautiful and views are breathtaking. Learning about the history was also great.

The service, the location, the food, and the show were terrific! What a beautiful evening!

We enjoyed every minute of the three event. The musicians, dancers, actors, MC, catering and art vendors were first rate. My parents and kids enjoyed the event. We would come again!

We were the only Japanese people there.
We rode horses in the spacious ranch.
We took a leisurely walk while explaining the grass, flowers, birds, and small animals in simple English.
The horse was calm and smart, so I only needed to control it with the reins when it stopped to eat grass; otherwise, it walked nicely.
We climbed a small hill and took commemorative photos at a scenic spot.
I had a very enjoyable time.

日本人は私達だけでした。
ゆったりと広い牧場内を乗馬。
簡単な英語で草花や鳥や小動物の説明をしながらの散策。
馬が大人しく頭がいいので、途中草を食べるのに止まるのを、手綱で制御するぐらいで、後はちゃんと歩いてくれます。
小高い丘を登り、景色の良い所で記念撮影。
とても楽しい時間を過ごせました。

I was able to reach the meeting point at the airport without getting too lost. The waiting time I was worried about wasn't too long, and I was able to get to the hotel comfortably. Since it was a trip with my child, I would definitely like to use this service again. It was great that everything was settled in Japan, which was perfect for my tired self.

空港ではそれほど迷わずに待ち合わせ場所まで行くことが出来ました。心配した待ち時間もそれほどでもなく、快適にホテルまで行けました。子供との旅でしたので、これならまたお願いしたいなと思います。日本ですべて決済まで済んでいたので、疲れた身には最高でした。

First, I learned on the bus that a driver's license was required, and I realized I hadn't brought mine, which left me feeling hopeless. However, after consulting with a Japanese guide upon arrival, I was informed that a photo would suffice.

In the end, both my spouse and I were able to drive on an extraordinary road. The location was also fantastic, with many experiences that we wouldn't have had if we hadn't participated in this activity, such as taking commemorative photos at movie filming locations!

If you're hesitating, it will be a wonderful memory, so definitely give it a try!

まず、運転免許証が必要なことを行きのバス車内で知り、持参していないことに気づき、絶望していました。
しかし、到着後日本人ガイドの方に相談したところ、写真でも大丈夫とのことでした。

結局夫婦ともに非日常のロードを運転することができました。また、ロケーションも最高で、映画の撮影地での記念撮影などこのアクティビティに参加しなければ体験できないことがたくさんありました！

迷っている方がいれば、最高の思い出になりますので是非参加してみてください！

We were all captivated by a wonderful show in Hawaii, which we visited for the first time since our honeymoon. Our one-year-old daughter was also smiling and having a great time!

新婚旅行ぶりのハワイでとても素敵なショーに家族みんなでずっと釘付けでした
1歳の娘もずっとにこにこ楽しんでノリノリでした！

We participated with our third-grade daughter as a family of three. We boarded the boat with two other families who also had children. I was worried that if we were paired two by two, one of us would end up with someone else, but all families were able to experience it together.

Since we were staying at Hilton Hawaiian Village, the access was excellent as it was just a short walk along the lagoon. On the day of the experience, it was quite windy and the waves were rough, causing the boat to sway a lot, but none of us got seasick. My daughter was nervous during her first parasailing experience and was screaming, but once it was over, she surprisingly said, "I can do it again," which is a typical response for a third-grade girl.

About ten years ago, I had gone parasailing in Cebu, but parasailing in Honolulu was at an overwhelming height! The beauty of the sea and the scenery was amazing! It was the best!!!

As promised, we splashed into the sea, but thanks to the captain's technique, only our feet got wet. I had expected to be soaked, but we were hardly wet at all, and by the time the boat reached the harbor, our feet were dry. The photos (40 dollars, cash or credit card accepted) were taken very well, and they became truly great memories! I would love to try it again next time, this time at 150 meters.

At the beginning, we paid a dollar each in cash for an environmental protection tax, and we gave a tip of 20 dollars when we disembarked (the tip was not mandatory, but there was a note on the boat saying, "Please give 20 dollars!"). We also purchased the photos for 40 dollars on the way back.

小3娘と夫婦の３人で参加しました。
他にもお子さん連れのご家族２家族と乗船しました。
2人ずつの体験だと1人は別の人と一緒になるのかなと心配しましたが、いずれの家族も３人一緒に体験できました。
私たちはヒルトンハワイアンビレッジに滞在中だったので、ラグーン沿いに徒歩ですぐとアクセス抜群でした。
当日は風が強くて波も荒め、船は結構揺れましたが、誰1人船酔いすることはありませんでした。
娘は初めてのパラセイリングに緊張してキャーキャー叫んでいましたが、終わってみたら意外と楽しかったのか「またやってもいいよ」と小3女子らしい素直ではないお答え。。。
10年ほど前にセブ島でパラセイリングをしたことがありましたが、ホノルルでのパラセイリングは圧倒的な高さ！海のきれいさ！景色の美しさ！
最高でした！！！
お約束の海にバシャンも船長のテクニックで見事に足先だけ。ずぶ濡れを予想して行きましたが、ほとんど濡れず、船が港に着く頃には足も乾いていました。
写真（40ドル、現金でもクレカでもOK）もとても上手に撮ってもらって、本当にいい思い出になりました！
また、次回もトライしたいです。今度は150メートルで。

はじめに環境保護のための税金を1人１ドルずつ現金で支払い、チップを下船時に20ドル（チップなので絶対ではありませんが、船に20ドルチップが貼り付けてあって、『20ドルお願いね！』って感じでした。）、帰りに写真を40ドルで購入しました。

This was my first time snorkeling with manta rays, so I was a little apprehensive. But the crew members were reassuring and had a "chill" attitude that put me at ease. They also explanined everything very well. Also, expect that you might not see manta rays right away. I think it took almost a half hour before they appeared in our area of the bay. But overall, this was so much fun as seeing these otherworldly creatures up close was amazing!

The staff was great, however unfortunately, due to other people drinking on the boat & a lot of motion sickness, there was a lot of throw up Incidents which caused the whole ride to be unpleasant and rather disgusting. Not to mention, we had to takeoff our shoes so I hope I didn’t step on anything…. When I originally booked, I noticed drinks and appetizers would be provided, but there is only one option to choose from(food).

If you book, make sure you take some dramamine, even if you don’t think you have motion sickness.

The good news is that we got to sunset on our way back to the pier.

It was nice overall. The staff are friendly and worked hard. Food taste was okay. Generous portion. The boat is small and with waves, my 5 years old got sea sick and was throwing up.

Review
The cruise was very nice. Sunset was perfect. Prime rib was OK. I was expecting more. The chicken was great! Fish, was ok too. I would do the cruise again. I would upgrade to see if the food was better. Buffet was ok for an.overall rating!
