It was my first time deep-sea fishing, and I was worried about seasickness, but the waves were calm, the weather was nice, and I enjoyed the stunning views of Waikiki, Diamond Head, and Coco Head during the cruise, so it was fine. We moved to several spots and patiently waited with squid as bait, but unfortunately, we didn't catch anything. However, we enjoyed delicious sashimi and sautéed fish caught by others. Every time someone caught a fish, there were cheers, and it was a lot of fun!

海釣りは初めてで船酔いが心配でしたが、波も静かでお天気もよく、ワイキキやダイヤモンドヘッド、ココヘッドなどの絶景を楽しみながらのクルーズだったので大丈夫でした。何カ所もスポットを移動して、イカを餌にじっと待ちましたが、残念ながら釣れず。でも他の方が釣った魚をお刺身やソテーでおいしくいただきました。誰かが釣るたびに歓声が上がり、とても楽しかったです！

It was a relatively large water park that you can't experience in Japan. Since it was a weekday in mid-October, there were fewer visitors compared to peak times, and we could enjoy almost all the attractions without much waiting. I had a great time reliving my childhood with thrilling drop slides that felt like zero gravity and wave pools. Due to the season, about a quarter of the attractions were closed, but we still had fun! The bodyboarding was the most enjoyable, so I recommend the bodyboard package.

There is a bag check at the entrance. I believe I was informed that one unopened plastic bottle is allowed (though I think locals brought water bottles, but I don't remember the details). Inflatable rings are not allowed, but there are plenty available inside the park, so there's no need to worry. The coin laundry costs $13 (small) and $18 (medium), and we chose the medium for two people. While card payments are accepted, many people experienced errors, so it might be safer to have cash on hand. You can access the lockers as many times as you want throughout the day. There are showers and changing rooms near the lockers, but the water is not hot, so it can be a bit chilly.

There were about five food and drink sales points, but on that day, there was only one staff member serving, which caused a line during lunchtime. Since I was wearing a tour wristband, I wasn't asked to show a copy of my passport when paying by credit card.

The park is located near the highway, so you can't access it without a car. If you're not on a bus tour, you would need to take a public bus and then use Uber (about a 5-minute ride) to get to the park, or rent a car. Unlike public buses, a tour bus allows you to sleep comfortably on the way back, so I recommend the bus tour. Additionally, the Japanese female tour guide was very kind, making it a reassuring experience. She even took some photos for us.

　日本では経験できない比較的大規模なウォーターパークでした。10月中旬の平日であったせいか、ピーク時と比べると利用者は少めであり、どのアトラクションも殆ど並ぶことなく利用できました。無重力空間を体験できるような急降下スライダーや波のプールなど、童心に帰り楽しむことができました。時期的なこともあり1/4くらいは休止中でしたが、それでも楽しめました！ボディボードが一番楽しかったので、ボディーボード付きプランをおすすめします。

　エントランスで荷物チェックがあります。未開封のペットボトル1本は持ち込み可能と説明を受けた気がします（地元の人は水筒を持参していたような気がしますが、詳しく覚えていません）。浮き輪などは持ち込み不可です。園内にうきわはたくさんありますので、心配ありません。コインランドリーは13ドル（小）、18ドル（中）があり、二人で（中）を選択しました。カード対応ですがエラーになっている方も多かったので、現金をもっていた方が安心かもしれません。出し入れは終日何度でも可能です。ロッカーの近くにシャワーと更衣室があります。お湯は出ないので、少し肌寒いです。

　フードやドリンクの販売窓口は5個くらいあったのですが、当日はスタッフが1名で対応しており、昼食時は列ができていました。ツアーのリストバンドを付けていたせいか、クレジット決済時にパスポートのコピーの提示は求められませんでした。

　本パークは高速道路の近くに位置しているので、車以外では入れません。バスツアー以外ですと、パーク近隣まで公共バス＋歩行禁止区域を5ウーバーで移動（5分程度）またはレンタカーを使用することになると思います。公共バスと違い、ツアーバスであれば帰路で熟睡できるメリットもありますので、バスツアーがお勧めです。また、日本人女性の添乗員さんがとても親切で、安心して過ごすことができました。お写真も撮ってくださいました。

My hubby and I wanted to try this ATV experience since we enjoyed a similar one on Kauai the previous year and it did not disappoint!

Going through the trails and seeing the sites were completely beautiful. The private little waterfall/lagoon was also refreshing after being covered with the dust from the trail.

The one thing I would have liked is a bandana to cover the lower half of my face because the dust got all up in every crevice.

I arrived at the hotel smoothly after entering the country. The wait time was short, which was very helpful. I would like to use this service again next time.

入国してスムーズにホテルまで到着できました
待ち時間も少なくて大変助かりました。
次回も利用したいと思います

The pick-up and drop-off times were on schedule. The crew mostly spoke English and had little understanding of Japanese, but they were cheerful and provided very good service. I was unable to see any dolphins.

送迎の時間などは定刻通りでした。クルーの皆さんはほぼ英語で日本語はほとんど通じませんでしたが、にこやかでとても良い対応をしてもらいました。
イルカを見ることは出来ませんでした。

My husband and I booked this tour for our honeymoon on the island. It was truly amazing to see the many fish and mantas in their natural habitat! I was that person who forgot their motion sickness meds. If you get motion sick/sea sick definitely take them so you can enjoy the whole experience without feeling queasy. If you come from colder climates you may not need wet suits. My husband and I didnt get them as we come from a cold climate and did fine temperature wise. The captain and his crew, Diego, were very knowledgeable and friendly. They also helped out a bunch when I wasn't feeling well. Would recommend this tour to anyone!

The water temperature was a bit low and it was cold, but I was glad to encounter a sea turtle. It was my first time snorkeling, and my 10-year-old son was also happy.
There are several staff members who speak Japanese, and they provide explanations in Japanese as well. About 80% of the tourists are Japanese.
There are no changing rooms, so we went in our swimsuits and wiped off our wet bodies before getting on the bus for the return trip. Some people were changing in the restroom, but there are only three stalls, so it gets crowded. It might be tough for those who are not good with the cold.

水温がやや低く、寒かったですが、ウミガメとも遭遇できて良かったです。初めてのシュノーケリングでしたが、10歳の息子も喜んでいました。
スタッフには、日本語を話せる人が数名居て、説明は日本語でもしてくれますし、8割は日本人観光客です。
着替える場所は無いので、水着着用で行き、帰りは濡れた体を拭いてそのままバスに乗りました。トイレで着替えている方も居ましたが、３つしか無いので混みます。寒いのが苦手な人にはつらいかもしれません。

It was my first time parasailing.
First of all, the boat ride to the point was so pleasant and amazing! Taking off wasn't particularly scary, and I enjoyed the view of Waikiki from above. I even had enough time to take photos with my phone in a waterproof case.
It was fun to fly myself, and it was also enjoyable to watch others take off.
As for the water splash, I saw someone getting soaked on YouTube, so I asked them to keep it mild... and they really did! It was just a little splash, so unless you're really afraid of water, I think it's better not to make that request to enjoy it more.
The local staff were very kind, giving me water for motion sickness and letting us wait in the car when we arrived early.
I would love to join this tour again the next time I go to Hawaii!

初めてのパラセイリングでした。
まずポイントに移動する船が気持ちよくて最高！飛び立つのも特に怖くなく、上空でワイキキ一望できる景色を堪能しました。防水のスマホケースに入れて撮影もできるくらいの余裕はあります。
自分が飛ぶのも楽しいし、他の方が飛んでるのを見るのも楽しかったです。
水ジャポンは、YouTubeでじゃぶじゃぶされている人がいたので控えめで・・・とお願いしたら本当に控えめでした笑 １回チャポンくらいだったので、よほどお水が怖くないのでなければそんなお願いしない方が楽しめるかと思います。
現地のスタッフさんもとても優しくて、酔止め内服用のお水をくれたり、早くついたら車の中で待たせてくれたりしました。
次回ハワイに行ったときもこちらのツアーに参加したいと思います！！

My husband and I were so excited to see Pearl Harbor. The flight from Lihue to Oahu was perfect! We boarded the tour bus earlier than the time our email said (we were told between 9:15 and 9:30 a.m. but she arrived at 8:40 a.m. This was not a problem for us because we were there, but there was a couple who was not there when she left. She had to meet up with them in downtown Honolulu. She took us on a City Tour (which we were not expecting). The first part of the tour was great, but then, she dropped us off at Waikiki Beach for shopping and hanging out at the beach for 2 HOURS! We did not want to go to the beach, nor did the other people on the tour bus. She did not ask us; she just took us there and dropped us off. Because we were at the beach for that long, we were shorted our time at Pearl Harbor - especially the USS Missouri. We got there and she told us that we should get our lunch from the food truck right away because they closed at 2 p.m. - in was 12:50 p.m. when we arrived there. So, we got and ate our lunch which took about 20 minutes. We had to be back on the tour bus by 2 p.m. to head over the the USS Arizona as we had 2:30 p.m. tickets for that. We did not want to miss any more, so of course, we were on time. We could not tour the entire USS Missouri ship because we did not have enough time. And, over by the USS Arizona (not the boat ride and view of the actual memorial, but the other things to read and the movie - we did not have time to do. We had to be back on the bus by 4 p.m. This was supposed to be a day for Pearl Harbor, but it did not feel like that. We were so very disappointed that we could not view the entire ship and we do not feel that we got the full experience. Our tour bus driver was very nice but she should not have dropped us off at the beach/shopping for that long and take away the time we had for what we paid for and were hoping to see.

The staff was very good and patient, the horses were fine, even for the beginners, the ride was great. We had a great time and I think the 1.5 hours was just about the right timeframe. One issue I found was that when the wrangler leading a group is at the front and trying to talk to the group, it was almost impossible to understand them from the back of the group (we had 5 in our group). Don't know the answer other than having a wrangler both in front and at the rear of the group, but I know I missed out on much of the discussion.

The approximately three-hour lure show was captivating with wonderful dances and songs. I was deeply moved to be able to experience Hawaii's traditional culture up close. The staff were also very friendly and left a good impression.

During the show, tourists were invited to join in, and everyone was laughing at the comedic dances. It's a pity that there were so few Japanese participants among the attendees; I think there were only a few in the show I attended. I hope more Japanese people can feel comfortable participating (perhaps the pricing is a bit high).

I am also very pleased with the final photo, which turned out beautifully. If I come to the Big Island, I definitely want to participate again. Mahalo.

約3時間のルアーショー、素晴らしい踊りと歌に酔いしれてました。ハワイの伝統文化を舞台近くで鑑賞できて感動で一杯です。スタッフの皆さんも笑顔で対応されていて、印象も良かったです。
観光客をショーの間に入れて、コミックな踊りに皆さん笑いが広がってました。
参加者の中に、日本人が少ないのは残念です。私が参加したショーには、数名かなと思います。もっと日本人が気軽に参加できるようにと希望します（料金が高い設定かなと）
最後の写真も最高出来栄えで大変嬉しく思ってます。ハワイ島に来ましたら、是非参加したいと思います。マハロ。

I had a wonderful experience riding a Segway while enjoying the scenery at Kaka'ako and Magic Island, with fun explanations from our guide.

セグウェイに乗ってカカアコやマジックアイランドなど、ゆっくり景色を見ながら、楽しいガイドさんの説明などで楽しい思いを体験しました。

The reception is located on the 4th floor of the Royal Hawaiian Center. When I showed my voucher, I was guided right away. The seating was at long tables, and since I attended with one other person, we shared a table with a couple.

There was a bit of time before the start, and staff members were going around for photo opportunities, which could also be purchased afterward. A Mai Tai was served as a welcome drink. The staff asked if we wanted alcohol, but the person next to me seemed to have trouble understanding English, which caused quite a delay as they had to call a Japanese staff member for assistance.

The meal was served buffet-style, and we took turns getting our food. The hot dishes were served warm, and they even cut the roast beef right there for us. The chocolate cake for dessert was delicious, and I was very satisfied.

During the meal, we were able to see hula dancing, and there were also experience corners. After finishing the meal, we moved to watch the show. The air conditioning was quite strong, so a jacket is a must.

The show included hula dancing, Elvis and Michael look-alikes, and fire dancing, making for a packed experience that lasted about three and a half hours when combined with the meal. I think the price is a great deal for such a substantial meal and an impressive show.

受付はロイヤルハワイアンセンターの4階にあります。バウチャーを見せるとすぐに案内して頂けました。席は長机で、わたしは2名で参加したのですが、カップルさんと相席となりました。
スタートまで少し時間があり、写真撮影のスタッフさんが周っています。その後購入も可能です。
ウェルカムドリンクとしてマイタイが提供されます。アルコールありかなしか、とスタッフさんが聞いてくれますが、お隣の方は英語が聞き取れなかったようで、このやりとりだけで日本人スタッフを呼んできてもらったりとかなり時間がかかっていました^^;お食事はビュッフェスタイルで順番に取っていきます。お料理は温かいものは温かく、その場でローストビーフをカットしてくれたり、デザートのチョコレートケーキもおいしく、大満足です。
途中でフラダンスが見れたり、体験コーナーもあります。
お食事が終わったら移動してショーを観ます。かなり冷房が効いてるので上着必須です。
フラダンスからエルビス、マイケルのそっくりさん、ファイヤーダンスとかなり盛りだくさんでお食事と合わせると3時間半ほどかかります。
お食事と、こんなにしっかりとしたショーが観れてこの価格はお値打ちだと思います。

Loved the thought process here, but overall, kind of crowded. Our waiter had too many tables or he was just slow. Not sure. Food was ok, didn’t go home hungry. Music was great and the final show was awesome.

We used this service as a family this time.

We were able to move to the designated location without getting lost, and it was easy to recognize the vehicle since it had "Roberts Hawaii" written on it.

I felt very secure with the reservation made through Veltra. I will use it again.

今回家族で利用しました。

事前に指定していた場所に迷うことなく移動でき、車体にロバーツハワイの文字も書いてあるのでわかりやすかったです。

ベルトラ経由の予約でとても安心しました。また利用します。

You can choose a non-alcoholic Mai Tai, which is great for those who are sensitive to alcohol. The dinner buffet is served in order, so it's reassuring. The meat is a bit tough, but it was very delicious. You can go back for dessert later, so be careful not to overeat. There was also ice cream, fruit, and cake. The show includes not only Hawaiian music but also popular songs, so I think anyone can enjoy it. I recommend it if you want to fully enjoy the Hawaiian atmosphere.

マイタイは、アルコール無しも選ぶことが出来て、お酒に弱い人にも大丈夫でした。
ディナーのビュッフェは順番に案内してくれるので安心。
お肉は、ちょっと硬めですが、味はとってもおいしかったです。
デザートがあとでまた取りに行けるので食事の取りすぎ注意です。
アイスクリームもフルーツ、ケーキがありました。
ショーはハワイアンだけでなくメジャーな歌も盛り込まれていて誰でも楽しめると思う。
ハワイ気分を堪能したいならおすすめです。

Overview:
The meeting point is at the back of the airport. If you're coming from a hotel around Waikiki, you can take an Uber or a taxi. It usually takes about 15 to 20 minutes if traffic is light. However, during busy times (like weekday mornings), it could take twice as long. I took about 40 minutes to get there from the Marriott Resort (near the zoo) on a weekday morning. I was a bit late, but I contacted them in advance and it was okay.

After arriving, we received a brief explanation. It can be a bit chilly up in the air (around 15 to 20 degrees in October), so it's good to have long sleeves and long pants (even if they're thin). Beach sandals might fly off, so it's better to wear sneakers or something that won't easily come off (worst case, you'll be barefoot). It's bright up there, so sunglasses are recommended. You can take photos with your smartphone or camera. They provide special straps to prevent dropping your devices, so there's no need to bring your own. Since it was my return day, I brought my suitcase, but they kept it indoors for me. However, for security reasons, it's recommended to put valuables in a locker. They also provided hair ties for those with long hair.

After that, we watched a video explanation and headed to the helicopter. There were four of us, including my spouse, with two in the back and two in the front. We were lucky to sit in the front (which is probably equivalent to first class). Due to the noise, we wore headsets. The pilot provided various information via radio while we were in the air.

The aerial journey lasted about 50 minutes. Those sitting by the window might feel a bit scared since there's no door, but I enjoyed it without much fear. We were warned not to stick our bodies or hands outside, but the wind felt like a concrete wall, so it was practically impossible to do so. There was little turbulence, making for a graceful trip. I was able to capture various spots with my GoPro.

After the flight, they showed us the photos taken before boarding and the video recorded during the trip on a monitor. You can purchase the photos for $35, the video for $65, or both for $85 (prices may vary). I bought the photos and shared my email address to receive the data.

Impressions:
I went on the last day of my trip, and personally, it was a great decision. Seeing the places from above allowed me to reflect on my memories, like realizing how far it is from Waikiki or how beautiful everything looks from above. If you're good at English, listening to the pilot's explanations can provide a lot of knowledge (I struggled with it and had my wife explain later). The photos are very beautiful, and even if they're a bit pricey, I think it's worth purchasing them as a memory. If you haven't filmed yourself, buying the video might also be a good idea.

All the staff were very friendly. Even when I arrived late, they guided me very politely, and they were always bright and kind both on the ground and in the air.

After the flight, if you're heading straight to the airport, it takes about 50 minutes on foot, so an Uber or taxi is essential.

It's definitely not a cheap activity, but I believe it's an experience worth having.

概要：
集合場所は空港の裏側。もしワイキキ周辺ホテルから行く場合はUberやタクシー等での移動。空いている場合は15~20分ほど。ただ時間帯的に混む場合(平日の朝など)は倍ほどかかる可能性。私はマリオットリゾート(動物園近く)から平日朝向かったら40分ほどかかりました。それなりの遅刻となりましたが、事前に連絡を入れたとことOKとのこと。

到着後簡単に説明を受ける。上空は少々寒い(10月で15~20度ほど？)ので長袖長ズボン(薄くても)あると良い。ビーチサンダルは飛んでいくかもしれないので、スニーカーか脱げにくいものを(最悪裸足となります)眩しいのでサングラス着用を勧められる。スマホやカメラでの撮影は可能。落下防止のストラップ等はあちらで専用のものを貸してくれるのでわざわざ持っていく必要なし。帰国の日だったのでキャリケースも持っていきましたが室内に置いておいてくれました。ただ防犯上貴重品だけはロッカーに入れることをおすすめします。長髪の方は髪を縛るゴムも貸してくれました。

その後動画で説明を聞いて、ヘリへ。我々夫婦含めお客は4名で、後ろ2名、前2名。我々はラッキーなことに前(おそらくファーストクラスと同等)に乗車。騒音のためにヘッドセット着用。パイロットが上空で無線で色々と案内をしてくれます。

上空の旅は約50分、窓側の人はドアがないので少々恐怖を感じるも私はあまり感じず楽しめました。体や手を外に出すなと注意されていましたが、風がまるでコンクリートの壁ようで、出そうにも室内に跳ね返されるので実質無理。揺れはあまり感じず、優雅な旅に。goproで様々なスポットを撮影できました。

終了後、乗車前に取ってくれた写真と、旅中に室内を撮影された動画がモニターに映され、写真35$、動画65$、両方で85$(値段は変更の可能性有)で購入可能。写真購入し、メルアドを教えることでデータを共有いただけます。

感想：
旅の最終日に行ったのですが、個人的には大正解でした。行った場所を上空から見ることで、あーここに行ったのかー、ワイキキから結構遠いんだなーとか、上から見るとこんなにきれいなのかーとか、ここでUber拾ったなーなんて、思い出と照らし合わせながら楽しめます。英語が得意な方は上空のパイロットの説明を聞いてると様々が知識が得られます(私は苦手&無線は厳しいため、後で妻から教えてもらいました)。写真はとてもきれいで、少々高くても思い出に購入してもいいかと。動画は自身で撮影してなければ購入してもいいと思います。

スタッフは全員とてもフレンドリーです。遅れて行ってもとても丁寧に案内していただき、地上でも上空でも常に明るく親切にしていただきました。

終了後、もしそのまま空港に行かれる場合は、徒歩で50分ほどかかると出ましたので、Uberかタクシーが必須です。

決して安いアクティビティではありませんが、それでも体験する価値が大変あると思います。

Overview:
The meeting point is the Holocai Catamaran booth located on the beach side of the Outrigger Reef Waikiki Beach Resort on the first floor of the hotel. If you're unsure, you can enter the hotel from the Steak Shack side and walk towards the abc store to find it.

There, you check in. There are about 12 participants. Since the boat will be moored on the sandy beach, you'll need to take off your sandals to board. About four strong men will be your guides. They look impressive, like old-time sailors from a movie. As I listened to the explanations (in English), we soon moved to an area where we could see honu (sea turtles). (I didn't feel much rocking.) Most participants were foreigners, with only a few Japanese. You can borrow snorkeling sets and life jackets. Wearing the jacket is mandatory, but whether to inflate it is up to personal judgment. Beginners should inflate it, while experienced snorkelers who want to dive can keep it deflated. The spots where honu are found are crowded with various tour groups, so we shared the space and slowly approached the honu together. We observed the honu as they surfaced for air, keeping a respectful distance. The guide provided friendly explanations and directed us on where to go. However, in the latter half, things became less organized, and people started to act freely, so it's good to occasionally look up to see where the guide is or swim towards the direction of someone calling out "Holokai!" When there was a honu underwater, I borrowed an underwater camera from another guest (I used a GoPro), and the guide dove down to take close-up shots. It was a wonderful memory. After observing for a while, we returned to the boat and had free time sailing around Waikiki's waters. Soft drinks were free, while alcohol was available for purchase (ID is only required when buying; if you don't plan to buy, you don't need an ID). Participants freely took photos and relaxed on the net at the front of the boat... The guide was always cheerful and even spoke a little Japanese when he realized we were from Japan... We spent a leisurely time on our way back...

Impression:
Of course, it depends on the weather and waves that day, but in my case, I hardly felt any rocking and was very comfortable. It's not particularly Japanese-friendly, and the vibe and way of speaking are completely native, but they don't say anything too difficult, and if you ask, they will teach you very friendly. If the weather is nice, you might get sunburned, so I recommend bringing long sleeves and sunglasses. If you have an underwater camera, I definitely recommend bringing it. After getting off the boat, there is a Steak Shack right in front, so I had lunch there.

Since the atmosphere is quite international, those who are not comfortable with that should consider it, but it was a very pleasant experience that made me feel like I was in a tropical paradise. There was no pressure to do anything in particular, and everyone enjoyed their travels freely, creating a relaxed atmosphere.

概要：
集合場所はアウトリガー リーフ ワイキキビーチリゾートのビーチ側のホテル内1FにあるHolocai Catamaranのブース。よくわからない場合はステーキシャック側からホテル内に入ってabc storeあたりまで行くとあります。

そこで受付。参加人数は12名ほど。砂浜にボートがつくのでサンダルを脱いで乗船。屈強な男たち4名ほどがガイドをしてくれる。かっこいい。映画の中の昔の船乗りみたいにかっこいい。なんとなく説明(英語)を聞いているといつの間にかホヌ(ウミガメ)がいる辺りに移動。(あまり揺れは感じませんでいた)参加者の多くは外国人。日本人はわずか。借りれるのはシュノーケリングセットと救命ジャケット。ジャケットは着用マストだがふくらませるかどうかは個人判断。初心者なら膨らませ、経験者で潜水したい場合は空気を入れなければ良い。ホヌがいるスポットは様々はツアーの客が群がっているので、譲り合ってゆっくりみんなでホヌに近づく。息継ぎのために水面まで上がってくるホヌを一定の距離を保ちながら観察。ガイドがフレンドリーに説明をしてくれたりどっちに行くかを案内してくれる。ただ後半は段々と統率がなくなってきて自由に行動し始めるので、たまには顔を上げてガイドがどこにいるのか、またはホロカイ！と声を上げているほうへ泳いで迷子にならないように。水下にホヌがいたときは、水中カメラを持っている客から(私はgopro)借りて、ガイドが下まで潜って間近で撮影してくれた。とてもいい思い出。ある程度観察したら船に戻り、残りの時間をワイキキの海をセーリングしながら自由時間。ソフトドリングは無料。アルコールは有料(購入時だけIDが必要。その予定なければIDは要らない)参加者各々が自由に写真を撮ったり船先端にある網？の上で寛いだり…ガイドは常に明るく接してくれたり、日本から来たとわかると少し覚えている日本語を話してくれたり…かなりゆったりと時間を過ごしながら帰路へ…

感想：
もちろんその日の天気や波に寄りますが、私の場合、揺れはほとんど気にならず、とても快適に過ごせました。日本語フレンドリーではありませんし、完全にネイティブのノリや喋り方ですが、そこまで難しいことは言いませんししませんし、聞けばとてもフレンドリーに教えてくれます。天気がいい場合、日焼けするので長袖やサングラスを持ってくと良いと思います。水中カメラはあれば是非とも持っていくことをおすすめします。
船から降りた後は目の前にステークシャックがあるので、そのままお昼に食べました。

もちろん海外なノリが多いため、苦手な方は考慮されたほうが良いですが、とても気分の良い、南国にきたなーーーーと思える体験でした。特に何を強要されるわけでもなく、各々が自由に旅行を謳歌している、そんな雰囲気でした。

My pickup arrived 10 minutes early, and since I was waiting ahead of time, everything went smoothly.

At the next hotel, I had to wait and wait... I understood waiting until the scheduled time since it was still early. But I ended up waiting 15 minutes past the scheduled time. Even then, there were guests who were saying goodbye to their families and not getting into the car. Waiting for that one person made me think, "Ah, this is why I feel this way about shuttles."

Should I just accept that it's cheap and that's how it is? I saw other reviews where people were left behind after the time had passed, but I think if you contact them through their contact information or hotel room and they don't show up after 5 minutes, it’s reasonable to leave... especially since there are other guests waiting.

I ended up losing time at the airport, and now I'm feeling like I might skip the shuttle next time.

自分のピックアップ時間、10分前に迎えが来て
早めに待ってたので、良い感じでスイスイと。

次のホテルで、待つ、待つ・・・予定時間前だったので
ピックアップ時間まで待つのはわかる。
でも、予定時間より15分も待って。それでも、家族との別れ
してて、車に乗ってこない客。
その1人を待つことで、あぁ、やっぱり、シャトルってって思う。

安いんだから仕方ないと諦めるべきなのか。ほかの口コミで
時間過ぎたら置いてかれたっていうのあったけど、連絡先とか
ホテルの部屋とか連絡して、5分待って現れなかったら
置いていくのもありだと思う・・・ほかの客がいるんだからさ。

空港での時間なくなるし、次回からはシャトルは・・・な気分

I learned about canoe surfing about five years ago and wanted to try it. Finally, it was available in Hawaii, so I went!

I arrived early at the meeting point, checked in, and within a few minutes, the staff came to explain about the canoe. Then we were off! Riding the waves with the wind in my face was absolutely amazing!

It wasn't just a one-time experience; it was an activity that made me want to do it again!

５年位前に知って、やってみたかったカヌーサーフィン
やっと、ハワイ解禁、行ってきました！

早めに集合場所に着いて、チェックインすると数分で
スタッフが来て、カヌーでの説明をして、いざ！
風をきって波に乗って・・・最高に気持ち良かった♪

1回体験すればいいや・・・ではなく、また、やりたいなぁと
思うようなアクティビティでした

I paid for the VIP package for a group of 6 people and everything went pretty smoothly from checking in to being seated at our table. Everything was pretty efficient from getting our meals to seeing the show. My only issue of concern was that I paid for the additional drink and we were not able to use them. We were told that there would be an opportunity to use them during the show but no one told us we had to get them before the show started because there would not be an intermission or an opportunity afterwards. The waiters need to clearly state that if you don't get your drink during your meal, you need to be sure to get it before heading into the show because you won't get the opportunity otherwise. The show was amazing from the MC, Elvis, to Michael Jackson! The dancers and band did a great job as well!

The food, the show, the decoration, the stuff… everything on point

We participated as a pair this time, and since there were only the two of us, it felt like a private tour. A group that left a little earlier had about eight participants, so we were lucky! The instructions for handling the bikes were available in Japanese, but the guide spoke everything in English. However, the guide was kind, and since it was just the two of us, we were able to enjoy the tour at a relaxed pace! I don't fully understand all the movies, so the guide explained a lot about the origin of the name Kualoa, but I couldn't catch some parts... tears. The scenery is, of course, breathtaking and beyond imagination. However, be careful when riding on the sand as it can be slippery. I noticed a member of another team we passed had fallen and scraped their knee, but the guide had disinfectant on hand to treat them right away, so I think they were okay as long as it wasn't a serious injury.

今回2人で参加しましたが、私達2人しかいなかった為ほプライベートツアーに近い状態でした。
少し前に出発したグループは8人程度の参加者がいたのでラッキーでした！
バイク取扱に関する説明は日本語で見る事が出来ますがガイドさんはもちろん全て英語です。
しかしガイドさんが親切で私達2人だった事もあり、ゆっくりのんびりとツアーを楽しむ事が出来ました！当方映画が全て理解出来る訳ではないのでクアロアの名前の由来など凄くたくさん説明してくれましたが一部聞き取れず…涙
景色はもちろん、想像を超えた絶景です。
しかし、砂の上を走る際は滑りやすいので注意が必要です。途中すれ違った違うチームの方は転けてしまったのか膝が擦りむいてしまっていましたがガイドさんが持っている消毒液ですぐに手当してもらっていたので大きな怪我でなければ大丈夫かと思います。

I participated in the 1.5-hour morning course. It's about a 45-minute drive from the hotel in Waikoloa, and renting a car is the best option. The instructions are given in English, and they speak slowly and clearly.

First, there is an explanation of the flow of the activity, filling out documents, and safety precautions. After that, they provide a lecture on how to ride a horse, and they stay with you from start to finish.

At first, we walked slowly, and then we were able to pick up speed at good spots, which was really enjoyable. Riding through the grasslands, mountains, and along the sea while taking in the great outdoors was an amazing experience.

午前の1時間半コースに参加しました。ワイコロアのホテルから45分程度、レンタカーでの移動が最適です。
英語での案内で、ゆっくりと分かりやすく話してくれます。
最初に流れと書類記入、注意事項などの案内があり、その後乗馬の仕方についてレクチャーしてくれ、最初から最後まで一緒に付いてくれます。
最初はゆっくりと歩き、途中スピードを出して良いスポットでスピードを出して楽しめました。
草原、山、海と大自然を見ながらの乗馬は最高の体験でした。

The uncovering of the pig was very interesting, and it tasted so very delicious, as well as everything else. The Smith family kept everyone well entertained. I would definitely see it again.

I was able to see about four waterfalls.

The scenery of Waipi'o Valley was also beautiful.

You can walk around the Botanical Garden in about an hour. It’s very worthwhile.

I swam in the waterfall pool. You can borrow a jacket for free, so even if you're not a good swimmer, you can still enjoy it. There is one place to change, but I couldn't use a shower.

Along the way, I was happy to receive water, juice, and snacks!

The guide was very friendly and a good person. Since I can't speak any English at all, I couldn't understand most of the explanations (I was prepared for that), but I think it’s a great tour for those who can understand. You can hear a lot of interesting stories!

I was glad that the weather was nice all day! ☀️

滝は4つくらい見れました。

ワイピオ渓谷の景色も素敵でした。

ボタニカルガーデンは1時間位で一周できます。見応えたっぷりです。

滝壺で泳ぎました。ジャケットが無料で借りれるので泳ぎが下手でも楽しめます。着替えるところ（一つ）はありますが、シャワーは使えませんでした。

道中、お水やジュース、お菓子もいただけるので嬉しかったです！

ガイドさんもとてもフレンドリーで良い人でした。私自身が英語が全くできないので説明がほぼ理解できませんでしたが（覚悟はしてました）理解できる人にとってはとっても良いツアーだと思います。色んな話が聞けます！

一日中天気に恵まれて良かったです☀️

I wanted to go to Kailua Beach, but I participated in a tour due to concerns about the time it would take to get there and the unfamiliar transportation. The pickup service to a nearby hotel was very helpful. The driver spoke in English, but I felt reassured as many of the other participants were Japanese. Additionally, there was a Japanese female staff member who provided explanations in Japanese beforehand, which was great! (I think it's important to note that she may not always be available.) The other staff members were locals, but they could speak some simple Japanese and told us about the fish and sea turtles, which was fun as they spoke to us in Kansai dialect. Even with the basic plan, there were three options: SUP, snorkeling, and boards, and rotating among them turned out to be just the right amount of time, so I was satisfied.

カイルアビーチに行きたかったのですが、移動に時間がかかってしまうことや慣れない交通機関が不安だったりことからツアーに参加しました。近くのホテルまで送迎がありとても助かりました。運転手は英語で話していましたが、他の参加者は日本人が多かったので安心しました。また、1人日本の女性スタッフがいて、事前に日本語で説明してくれたのが良かったです！（常にいるとは限らないと思うので注意が必要です）他のスタッフさんは現地の方々ばかりでしたが、簡単な日本語は話せて、魚や海亀がいると教えてくれたり、関西弁で話しかけてくれて楽しかったです。基本のプランでもsup.シュノーケリング.ボードと3種類あり、交代交代で使うと意外と時間も丁度良かったので、満足できました。

It was an incredibly fun and unique experience, like flying in the vast sky! From a height of 150 meters above the sea, I could see Diamond Head and the streets of Hawaii; it felt like a dream.

It was my first time parasailing, and I thought I would be sitting in a chair while flying. I didn't realize that you sit in a harness like on a zip line, which made my bottom feel a bit unstable and added to the thrill. It was a little scary, but the fun definitely outweighed it! It might be tough for those with a fear of heights...

Also, they took photos during the experience that you can purchase for $40. Instead of just one photo, they gave me the entire microSD card with 120 images! If you want, they can connect it to your iPhone on the spot to transfer the photos, but I couldn't do that since I have an iPhone 15 with a type-C port (;^ω^).

For your reference, here are some concerns I had before the experience and my actual experience:

- I was a bit worried that I might feel nauseous like I do on roller coasters, but I didn't feel that sensation at all.

- I had heard from various people that the boat ride to the parasailing spot makes you really seasick, but since I don't usually get motion sickness, I was completely fine. In fact, the boat rocked quite a bit, which I found enjoyable, and the wind felt great. I think it's a good idea for those who are prone to motion sickness to take some medication beforehand.

- The staff were locals, and they helped me put on the safety gear while explaining things in simple Japanese, like "lift your legs," so it went smoothly. You don't need to worry if you don't understand English.

Overall, it was a really enjoyable activity without any worries. I would love to do it again if I get the chance!

大空を飛んでいるような唯一無二の体験ができて最高に楽しかったです！
海上150ｍの高さからからダイヤモンドヘッドやハワイの街並みが見えて、夢のような時間でした。

パラセイリングは初めてだったのですが、椅子に座って飛行するものだと思っていたのでジップラインのようにベルト？に座って飛行することを知らず、おしりが不安定でなかなかスリルがありました。
少し怖かったけど、断然楽しさが勝ちます！高所恐怖症の方には辛いでしょうが…

また、体験中の写真を撮ってくれて40ドルで購入できるのですが、1枚だけではなくmicroSDごとくれて、120枚のデータが入っていました！
希望すればその場でケーブルに繋ぎiPhoneに転送もしてくれますが、私はiPhone15でtypeCなのでダメでした(;^ω^)


以下ご参考までに、体験前に不安だった事と実際の体験談です↓
・私はジェットコースターの胃が浮く感覚が苦手なので胃がふわっとしないか少し不安だったのですが、そういう感覚は全くありませんでした。

・色々な人から「パラセイリングに行くまでの船がめちゃくちゃ酔うよ！」と聞いていましたが、もともと乗り物酔いをしない体質という事もあり全く酔いませんでした。むしろ船がけっこう揺れるのが楽しくて、風が気持ち良かったです。
酔いやすい人は酔い止めを飲んでいった方が良いと思います。

・スタッフの方は現地の方ですが、救命道具の着用は「足あげて」等と簡単な日本語で説明しながら手伝ってくれるのでスムーズでした。英語がわからなくても心配いりません。

こんな感じで、不安もなく本当に楽しいアクティビティでした。
機会があればまたやってみたいです！

I used the same service for my trip. They picked me up at the hotel and took me to the airport without any problems, which was very convenient. Next time, I plan to use Uber or rent a car from the airport, but it was very convenient without any delays or waiting.

行きも同サービスを使いました。
ホテルまで迎えに来てもらって空港に送ってもらうまで、特に何の問題もなく、とても便利でした。次からはウーバーか空港からレンタカーする予定ですが、時間が遅れたり待たされたりとかもなく、とても便利でした。

Since it was early in the morning, the weather was clear, and the water was beautiful, I was able to see various types of fish. Four years ago, I encountered sea turtles and seals in the same spot, but unfortunately, I didn't see them this time.

However, the couple who guided us were great; the husband spoke Japanese well and pointed out interesting fish, saying things like, "Look, there's ●●!" which made it really enjoyable. At one point, when some participants got tired, the wife went back to the shore with them, and when I got too caught up in taking photos and was left behind, they noticed and helped me catch up. Their consideration for everyone to have a good time was very much appreciated.

During the car ride to and from the location, they shared a lot of information, which was really fun.

I tried to take photos with my Google Pixel 7 Pro in a waterproof case, but about 80% of them turned out blurry, so I regretted not bringing my GoPro. However, the guide uploaded some photos to Facebook, which I was able to download for free! I felt grateful to have beautiful photos capturing the scenes I experienced.

朝イチだったこともあり、晴れていて海の中もきれいで色んな種類の魚に会えました。4年前には同じ場所でウミガメやアザラシにも会えたのですが、今回は会えずでしたが・・。
でも、ご夫婦でガイドをされていて、旦那さんも日本語が上手で、面白い魚がいると「●●がいるよー」と声をかけてくれてとっても楽しめました。途中で疲れた方は奥様と一緒に先に岸に戻って・・といったことや、撮影に夢中になってみんなに置いてかれている私を見つけて引っ張って行ってくれたりと、参加者みんなが楽しめるような気遣いもとっても感じました。
行き帰りの車の中でもいろんな情報を教えてくれて、とっても楽しかったです。

Google Pixel 7Proを防水スマホケースに入れて撮影を試みましたが、8割がたピンボケしていたのでやっぱりGoPro持っていけばよかったと思いました。ただ、ガイドさんが撮影した写真をいくつかFacebookに上げてくれているので、それをDLさせていただきました（無料です）！自分がみた光景をきれいな写真に残せている気分でありがたかったです。
