Hawaii
I've always wanted to try outrigger canoeing! The first wave was a bit small, and since I had heard there would be three challenges, I thought there would be two more to go... However, the small ones didn't count, and I was able to ride three big waves. The thrill of riding those big waves and getting close to the shore was absolutely amazing! I ended up getting splashed more than I expected. (laughs) But I highly recommend this activity.
Next time, I definitely want to ride even bigger waves than this time! ♪
ずぅーと体験したかったアウトリガーカヌー!初めの波は少し小さくて、挑戦は3回と聞いていたのであと2回なのかなーと思っていましたが、、、
小さいのはカウントされずに、3回大きな波に乗せてもらうことができました。
本当に、大きな波に乗れて岸近くまで行く快感は最高に気持ちいいです!
思ったより、全身水をかぶりました。笑
でも、おすすめのアクティビティです。
是非、次回は今回以上に大きな波に乗りたいです♪
Dear Ke-ko,
Thank you for the 5-star review! We're glad to hear you enjoyed the outrigger canoe surfing! Next time, please try the 1-hour canoe charter! You can ride the waves as many times as you want during that hour. Mahalo Nui Loa!
Ke-ko様:
5つ星の口コミ有難うございます!アウトリガーカヌーサーフィンを楽しんで頂けたようで何よりです!次回は1時間のカヌーチャーターをトライしてみて下さい!1時間の間に何度でも波に乗れます。マハロヌイロア!
It felt like I was floating in the air, and it was very pleasant! It was higher than I expected, but the view of Waikiki was amazing! There wasn't much of a floating sensation, so it swayed a bit, but even those who are scared will be fine. At the end, we made a splash into the sea, which was also fun.
Here’s what I experienced: After checking in, we waited for about 10 minutes before boarding the boat, and then we went straight to parasailing. I recommend taking care of restrooms, motion sickness medication, and changing clothes before checking in. There was a public restroom nearby. Also, since you will be getting a little wet, wearing a swimsuit is a good idea.
In my group, there were 3 pairs of us, and we flew shortly after traveling about 10 minutes by boat. By the way, we were instructed to put sandals and bags under the boat seats.
Before flying, they asked us to remove our hats, but it was okay to hold onto our smartphones in waterproof cases (we could take photos from above).
Right before flying, the crew asked if we wanted to buy photos (for $40), and if you request it at that time, they will take over 100 pictures for you. The payment was made at the check-in hut after getting off the boat (credit cards were accepted).
The boat swayed quite a bit, so it's recommended to take motion sickness medication beforehand.
空中をふわふわ散歩してるかのような気分で、とても気持ちよかったです!
思ったより高かったですが、ワイキキも見渡せて、最高です!
そんなに浮遊感もないので、多少は揺れますが、怖がりでも大丈夫でした。
最後に海にジャパーンするのですが、それも面白かったです。
以下、私が体験した内容です。
チェックインしたら、10分くらいその場で待った後にすぐ船に乗り、そのままパラセーリングでした。
トイレや酔い止め、着替えは済ましてからのチェックインがおすすめです。なお、公衆トイレみたいなのが近くにありました。また、海にちょっぴり浸かるので、水着が良いと思います。
私の回は2人×3組だったのですが、船で10分くらい行った先で、すぐに飛ぶことになります。
ちなみに、サンダルやカバンは船の座席の下に入れるよう指示がありました。
飛ぶ際に、帽子は取るように言われましたが、防水ケースに入れたスマホは持っててOKでした(上から写真もとれました)。
飛ぶ直前に、写真(40ドル)を買うかどうかクルーの方に聞かれて、その際にお願いすると、100枚以上写真を取ってくれます。
なお、お会計は船を降りたあと、チェックインした小屋にて支払いました(カードもOKでした)。
船はかなり揺れるので、酔い止めを飲んでおくほうがオススメです。
I had the best horseback riding experience. The horse was very smart and calm, making for a pleasant ride. The breeze felt nice, and it was a lot of fun. The staff member who resembled Orlando Bloom was very kind and accompanied our riding group while chatting, which was great.
最高の乗馬体験が出来ました。お馬さんもとてもお利口で大人しく、気分良く乗れました。風が気持ちよく、とても楽しかったです。オーランドブルーム似のスタッフの方がとても優しく、話しかけながら乗馬のグループに付き添ってくれたのも良かったです。
This is the second time going to Captain Bob’s Kaneohe Sandbar excursion. We went with friends last year and had such an amazing experience. We definitely had to take the kids to experience it. Kids had an amazing time playing volleyball and snorkeling around the reef. We even saw some turtles. Burgers were delish! The crew were professional and caring. While snorkeling my daughter was stung by two jellyfishes and the crew were so attentive to her. Major props to them. Definitely a 5 star!
Great way to celebrate our honeymoon. HWV goes above and beyond to make you feel like family on this evening.
Host is hilarious which I feel like makes this place stand out! My kids were laughin the night away.
Hope everyone on Maui is doing okay with the times they faced, we can't stop thinking of our awesome day on Hana!
Aloha Kara - Mahalo nui for spending the days with us! We appreciate your kindness and thoughts! Mahalo and a hui hou, Poly Ad Ohana
We were happy we got to see some mantas, it was so fun to have a night experience!
Aloha Kara! Thank you for choosing Iruka and for sharing your positive feedback. We are so glad that you enjoyed your time on our tour. We hope to see you again in the future! Mahalo
Fun day and a good wrap with the show and delicious dinner!
You hit it all and you do not need to drive and miss views along the way!
Lunch was delicious on top of a wonderful day at the park.
Aloha Kara - Pearl Harbor is an amazing place of reflection on our Military Community. They are all true heros! Mahalo for spending the day with us! A hui hou, Poly Ad Ohana
Great food, awesome entertainment, would love to learn the secrets those fire dancers know!!
Pods of dolphins made the whole family swim! Lots of knowledge given while on board.
The meals on board were amazing and the sunset alongside too was great. Sending our love to families on Maui
Mahalo to the tour guides on this fabulous day, heading over to Lanai is so awesome.
Great food and great entertainment, just be weary on the boat ride if you get sea sick especially while eating.
Delicious food, the service and routine of the evening ran really smooth, one of our favorite nights on island!
Loved this- you cannot go wrong getting to see the islands from above, especially Kauai and all the greenery and water falling!
The staff who spoke Japanese provided support not only before the experience but also afterwards, allowing me to focus on the dolphin experience with peace of mind!
日本語の話せるスタッフの方が体験前だけでなく、その後もフォローしてくださり、安心してイルカ体験に集中できました!
Staff was terrific at all levels; dock staff, wait staff, bar tenders, historian, musician, & Captain. Everyone was upbeat, personable, courteous, professional, and entertaining.
Food was excellent and the drinks were generous. The captain was very personable and entertaining. Mother-nature provided us with a pod of pilot whales to observe, while keeping a safe distance. Historian was fabulous, giving everyone a much better appreciation and respect for the Hawaiian culture. The music got everyone rocking and rolling with the motion of the boat. A great selection of songs that had the passengers engaged in song.
Can't say much more. We loved it, would do it again, and would highly recommend it to everyone. It was a 3 hour tour that was well worth it.
Aloha tmessall@msn.com,
We are thrilled to learn that you had such a great time!
Mahalo for joining us and taking the time to share your experience. We appreciate you sharing your kind words and hope to see you again someday soon!
We booked the Tubing Tour as a part of our honeymoon, and had an amazing time. Our tour guide was Bubu, and she was knowledgeable and helpful about the history of Kaua’i as well as giving us helpful suggestions on where to go while we were here. The tour itself started with a bus ride through the Kaua’i scenery while Bubu entertained us with interesting facts and stories.
The quality of the guide was quite good.
Even though the explanations were in English, they responded well if you tried to communicate, even if you couldn't speak the language.
They taught us about the history and way of life in Waipi'o.
The prayer song in Hawaiian matched the magnificent nature beautifully.
When I asked them to sing a prayer song for the Maui wildfires, they happily did it!
They were an incredibly nice young man!
The meeting place, the art shop, was also wonderful; I want to go back!
ガイドの質がかなり良いです
英語での説明になりますが喋れなくてもコミュニケーションを取ろうとすればちゃんと応えてくれます。
ワイピオの歴史と生き方を教えてくれました。
ハワイ語での祈りの歌は雄大な自然とマッチしてて素晴らしかったです。
マウイの山火事の為にも祈りの歌を歌ってと頼んだら喜んでやってくれました!
めちゃくちゃナイスガイな青年でした!
集合場所のアートショップも素晴らしかったです、また行きたいです!
Thank you for your review. I would like to know your guide's name so he can be complimented. Motonori.
Mahalo for your review. I would like to know you guides name so he can be complimented. Motonori
Excellent tour with SUPER tour guide, Kailikea! Full service , including tasty meal, excellent transportation, LOTS of very interesting information on Hawaii, the stars at night, Hawaiian Culture and History. Absolute recommendation to book with MKSA!!!
We had a great time. The crew were friendly and fun, and they ensured everyone was enjoying the experience. We were lucky to see so many turtles on the sail out to the reef and then magically we saw one while snorkeling. I will never forget that experience! The reef was full of fish; one of the best snorkeling excursions we've done. The sandbar was beautiful too. I'm so glad we did this, and we highly recommend it!
The guide was very talkative and shared a lot of interesting stories during the ride. They were considerate, and even though my English isn't great, I was able to enjoy the experience.
お話し好きなガイドさんで、車内ではずっとたくさんお話聞かせてくれて面白かったです。気の利く方で、英語が苦手でも楽しむことができました。
Thank you for using Island Makana Tours. All of our staff are very pleased. Please consider using us again when you visit Hawaii. Thank you!
このたびはアイランドマカナツアーズをご利用頂き、ありがとうございました。スタッフ一同嬉しく思っております。また、ハワイにお越しの際はぜひご利用下さい。ありがとうございました!
I participated in a snow boat tour due to the children's wish to swim in the beautiful sea. Although I wasn't very enthusiastic since I'm not good at swimming, I was thrilled to be able to swim with sea turtles while snorkeling. The children, who have strong core and leg muscles, were able to stand up on the SUP right away, but I, having passed my sixtieth birthday and with weakened legs, couldn't stand until the end, which was quite frustrating. However, before I knew it, I was completely absorbed in playing until the very last moment. The spam sushi made by the staff was delicious when I got a little hungry.
きれいな海で泳ぎたいという子どもたちの希望でスノーバーツアーに参加しました。泳ぎの得意でない私は乗り気ではありませんでしたが、行ってみるとシュノーケリングではウミガメと泳ぐことができて大興奮。SUPは体幹があって足腰がしっかりしている子どもたちはすぐに立つことができたのに還暦を過ぎて足腰が弱った私は最後まで立つことができず、大変悔しい思いをしましたが、気がつけば時間ギリギリまで夢中で遊んでしまいました。小腹が減った時に食べたスタッフさんお手製のスパム握りがおいしかったです。
Aloha! This is Captain Bruce's Paradise of the Sea Tour. Thank you very much for participating in this tour with your family the other day. I am truly delighted to see your heartwarming review and beautiful photos that capture the joy you shared with your children. Please come back and challenge yourself with SUP again! We are looking forward to that day with the sea turtles.
アロハ!キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーです。先日はご家族でこのツアーにご参加頂きましてありがとうございました。
お子様とご一緒に夢中で楽しんで頂けた様子が目に浮かぶ大変微笑ましいレビューと美しいお写真をアップして頂き本当に嬉しく思います。
またぜひ!SUPにチャレンジしにお越しください。その日をウミガメたちとともいに心よりお待ちしております。
Book this tour now! You can check around for other tours but you are wasting your time. Island Splash Tours is the best! Me and my girlfriend had a blast with Preston and Kris. Very private experience! Only us and one other group onboard. They are very safety oriented and make sure that everyone is having a good time. We saw so many turtles, too many to count. Kris found us an octopus and a collector urchin.
Glad you enjoyed your tour with us! Mahalo!
Counted on this boat tour for good snorkeling and did not get it at all even though waters were calm at the time of day we snorkeled. Co-captain agreed that captain could have picked a better spot for snorkeling. Decently long boat ride to get to Na Pali Coast. Boat tour was cut short by almost an hour (not sure why, but honestly it would have dragged on if it wasn't cut short). Other than those things, it was nice seeing the scenic coast and we saw turtles and dancing dolphins.
I probably experienced this excursion in the one of the worst ways possible: it was overcast and rainy, it had torrential downpoured right when we arrived at the canal, I was just wearing a one-piece bathing suit (no shorts or sleeves), I'm a freeze baby, the tour guide wasn't too friendly (probably because he was called into work last minute), but despite all those things, I TRULY LOVE AND HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS ACTIVITY! I was really nervous I would be cold, but I was comfortable the whole time. Just my butt touched the water unless my husband splashed me lol. The downpour didn't last long either and the majority of the ride was under tunnels. The ride was so much fun. Our tubes sort of acted like bumper cars as the water pushed us this a way and that a way. Not only was it a fun ride, the number 1 reason why I love this activity is because it isn't just a lazy river or crazy river manmade for the purpose of tourism. The canal and tunnels were made in the late 1800s for the sugar cane plantations (now defunct). (Tunnels are checked every year ensuring safe operation!) I think it is a great way to optimize a resource that no longer has its original purpose. Of the paid excursions I did in Kauai (boat tour, helicopter tour, hula show, spiderman/superman ziplining), this mountain tubing excursion is in my TOP 2 MUST DOs.
I was able to rent a long-sleeved wetsuit and long pants, so I didn't have to worry about sunburn or the cold. I was able to swim quite a distance. It would have been tough to go on my own, so I'm glad I joined a tour.
長袖長ズボンのウエットスーツをレンタルできたので、日焼けも寒さも気にならなかったです。 結構な距離を泳ぐことができました。 個人で行くのは大変なのでツアーに参加してよかったです
Thank you for joining the tour with Blue Hawaii Divers. Currently, online reservations for Hanauma Bay are mandatory, and they sell out within minutes, making it very difficult for individuals to visit. Our instructors are certified Hanauma Bay instructors, so we can take you to Hanauma Bay without the hassle of online reservations. We hope you will join our tour again when you come back to Hawaii. We look forward to seeing you. Thank you very much. Mahalo!!
この度はブルーハワイダイバースのツアーにお越しいただき、ありがとうございます。
現在のハナウマ湾はオンライン予約必須なのですが、数分で完売してしまうことから個人で行くのはとても大変な状況になっております。
弊社のインストラクターはハナウマ湾公認インストラクターですので、煩わしいオンライン予約なしでお客様をハナウマ湾へお連れできるんです。
ぜひまたハワイにお越しの際には私達のツアーにリピートしてくださいね。お待ちしております。
本当にありがとうございました。Mahalo!!
