There were 7 Japanese people (I was just watching from the boat), 4 foreigners, and 2 crew members. The other Japanese people were severely seasick and vomited before parasailing. According to my family, this was just the beginning; after parasailing started, it was truly hellish and they couldn't enjoy the scenery at all.

A Japanese man was vomiting in the air. My family was also down for a few hours after disembarking.

But I think the strong wind was the cause. If there hadn't been any wind, there wouldn't have been seasickness, and parasailing would have been fun.

Meeting time: 9:00 AM
Start time: 9:30 AM, but we were made to wait 40 minutes before boarding. During this time, I got completely sunburned.

日本人7人(私は船で見てるだけ)外国人4人クルー2人。
私以外の日本人は船酔いがひどくてパラセーリングの前にゲロゲロ。
うちの家族いわくこれは序の口でパラセーリングが始まってからが本当に地獄で景色どころじゃないらしい。

日本人男性は空中で吐いていた。うちの家族も下船してから数時間ダウンしていた。

でもこれは風が強かったのが原因だと思う。風がなかったら船酔いもなくパラセーリングも楽しかったはず。

集合時間　9時
開始　　　9時30分とかいてあるが乗船までに40分はまたされた。この間にこてんぱんに焼けた。

Lola was great at presenting the interesting facts about Hawaii. She was fun and funny and very engaging.

We had a wonderful experience. The staff on our boat was very welcoming and friendly. My niece said the staff of Capt Allen were very attentive as well when they were in the water. Kudos/ mahalo to Capt Ruben for assisting us to snorkel especially since we (me n my sis in law) don't know how to swim. Our driver was energetic and friendly. He even stopped at Leonards bakery for us and made awesome food recommendations on the way. We had an overall great experience! We look forward to coming again.

Derek was awesome! This was a great way to see a lot in one day. Started out with amazing views at a coffee farm. Derek set up a nice picnic lunch there (turkey sandwich, bag of chips, and a delicious cookie). After that we went to the southernmost bakery in the United States. Malasadas were provided (either passion fruit or original) and you had the option to purchase any additional if you wanted. Then we headed to the black sand beach where we saw a turtle. It was beautiful there. After that we head to volcano National park where we saw some steam vents and some awesome views and then volcano house where they have an incredible views of the crater. We had dinner after that at Kilauea Lodge. The food was good and the service was excellent. Surprisingly we had live entertainment too (although we were told that was rare). Then we went on a mile walk in the dark to see the lava. Really flat and easy walk for the most part. The end is mostly rocks but not bad at all. Derek provided jackets, flashlights and had a telescope set up to enhance the views and we were lucky enough to have a very active night. Highlight of the trip!! Then we walked back and headed back home. Throughout the day there's a lot of driving but derek keeps everyone entertained with lots of stories about Hawaiian history and the geology of the islands. I found it all fascinating. The ride home is a bit longer ( 2 1/2ish hours but Derek put on a movie which made the time go by fast). We also stopped on the way home and were able to do some Star gazing. Throughout the day Derek provided water and drinks and snacks so we had everything we needed at all times. Overall it was the best tour we've ever been on. Highly recommend and well worth the price! Derek was the best!

Overall i would say it's a must-do on the big island.
The crew was fun and helpful.
That particular night was somewhat cold and light on mantas but you get what you get. Crew doesn't control the animals.

I went on the deluxe snorkeling trip with my husband and five of my young adult children. We all loved it! Captain Steve did a fantastic job showing us sea caves and other interesting sites. We ended up in the midst of a pod of dolphins and saw some pilot whales. For all of us it was our first time snorkeling and Captain Steve and his crew made our first experience incredible. They even helped my son who can’t swim get comfortable with snorkeling using a life vest and noodle so by the second snorkeling stop he was a pro. We saw so many fish, eels, and a few sea turtles. I truly can’t say enough good things about the crew and the whole experience. One of the best of my life! I will definitely return!

This tour was truly an amazing experience. We had the best guides, Mesha? and Todd. They are very knowledgeable and made the tour so much fun. We enjoyed all of the activities that were included in the tour and the food was delicious. If you are considering adding this to your to-do-list, you will not be disappointed. I highly recommend this particular tour and company. I hope that you have as much fun as we did.....enjoy!

I loved Hawaiian parasail so much!
I felt like I was flying and also enjoyed the beautiful Waikiki beach and diamond head view.
The staff are all friendly and helpful. They take lots of pictures and download it on your phone after reviewing if you pay a fee. I had a bad experience about photos at a different parasailing company. There were no pictures when I checked the Flash card at home. You will never forget this activity, highly recommend!

I only attended the show without dinner. The staff were all wearing masks, but most of the guests were not, so I made sure to wear my mask and used hand sanitizer before and after the show to minimize risk. I also prepared extra masks just in case, as I was a bit concerned about droplets from the outside.

As a note, as of August 2022, a negative PCR test certificate is required for entry into Japan, so I acted a bit cautiously, but I think it's definitely possible to enjoy the experience if you take the necessary precautions. Of course, I was able to return home safely with a negative test result.

ディナーなしのショーのみに参加しました。
スタッフの皆さんはマスクをしていますが、鑑賞しているお客さんはほとんでどマスクしていないので、リスク回避のためにしっかりマスクして、携帯用の消毒薬でショーの前後で消毒するなどの対策をして楽しみました。マスクも一応外側の飛沫が気になるくらいではあるので、替えを用意しています。
前提として、22年8月時点で日本入国にはPCR陰性証明が必要になるなど、すこし注意深く行動しましたが、対策をとっていれば十分楽しめると思います。
勿論、検査結果陰性で無事帰国できています。

The Dole Plantation, which we stopped by along the way, was surprisingly enjoyable. I had a delicious pineapple soft serve and added to my collection of unique penny stamps.

The horseback riding at Makakeha Beach offers beautiful scenery, and the horses are well-trained, making it a safe and enjoyable experience even for beginners. There is a brief explanation of basic reins handling at the start, but generally, the horses follow the one in front automatically, so there's no need to worry.

途中に立ち寄るDolePlantationが意外と楽しめます。おいしいパインソフトを食べ、ここでしかないペニースタンプのコレクションが増えました。
MakakehaBeachの乗馬はとても景色がよく、馬もよく馴致されており初心者でも安心して楽しめると思います。最初に簡単な手綱さばき説明がありますが、基本お馬さんたちはオートマで前の馬についていくので心配しないでください。

The bus arrived 20 minutes after the scheduled pickup time. It mentioned to call the number listed on the voucher if it didn't arrive after 15 minutes, but I was told that the number is no longer in use. Although I arrived safely, I was a bit anxious at the end of my trip. Please correct the contact information immediately.

ピックアップ予定時間の20分後にバスが到着しました。15分経っても来ない場合はバウチャー記載の番号に電話してとありしましたが、現在使われておりませんと言われます。無事到着しましたが、旅の最後に少しヒヤヒヤしました。連絡先の間違いは、直ちに修正して下さい。

The crew was very friendly and helpful. The singers were incredible & played fantastic music. It was a memorable part of our vacation. Highly recommend KBOS!

If you’re in Hawaii and you don’t do this cruise, then you’re missing out!! Such a perfect event to end the evening. So relaxing, the staff was awesome, and the boat was amazing. We end up doing it again.

Amazing time! We highly recommend. Can’t wait to do it again! Do the banana boat ride- so good!

We turned around and headed back because no transportation available and everything around the dock is closed or hotel guests only.

This is my second time using it, following the last time. The sea is beautiful, and the hamburgers eaten on the boat are very delicious! There were also many sea turtles! I want to participate again!

前回に続き2回目の利用です。
海も綺麗で、船の上で食べるハンバーガーもとても美味しいです！ウミガメもたくさんいました！
また参加したいです！

I was looking forward to the thrill of the American sliders, and it was just as exciting as I expected! It was a lot of fun!

I opted for the full package, but I found out that the bodyboard lesson wasn't included, and the bodyboard pool required an additional fee. I had heard from the guide on the day that it was included, so I was a bit confused. (There was no refund, so was it not included?)

Lunch was so plentiful that I couldn't finish it all!

アメリカのスライダーの迫力は凄そう、と思って楽しみにしていました！予想通り迫力があって楽しかったです！
また、フルでついてるプランにしましたが、ボディーボードレッスンはやっておらず、ボディーボードのプールは追加料金でした。当日ガイドさんには含まれてると聞いてたので、あれ？、という感じでした。(返金もなかったので、含まれていなかった？)
お昼ご飯はとても多く食べきれないほどでした！

I participated again because I had a great time last time (in 2018). You can see many beautiful fish. Above all, I was moved by the Honu that comes close to you. The Honu approaches you (laughs). This time, my family was the only Japanese participants. I feel like it was the same last time. I don't really like tours with a lot of Japanese participants, so I appreciate that aspect as well.

前回（2018年）も楽しかったので、再度、参加しました。
キレイな魚がたくさん見れます。
何よりも間近で見れるHonuには感動します。
Honuの方から近付いてきます（笑）
今回、日本人は私達家族だけでした。
前回もそうだった気がします。
日本人がたくさん参加するツアーがあまり好きではないので、そんなところも気に入っています。

Thanks to you all - my kids and I really enjoyed the morning Ziplines. Even when it started POURING!!! The guides had ponchos for us.

We got to see dolphins and get in the water which was so refreshing!

The ride and the guide were amazing! The ranch has cows throughout that you get to see when horse riding. It is the best ranch I have been to.

We found out that there were no other Japanese participants besides us on the pickup bus, but we felt reassured knowing that our Japanese guide, Hiro, was there to support us. The path to Manoa Falls was through a lush tropical rainforest, allowing us to enjoy a side of Oahu beyond just the beaches. The local guide who explained about the plants was friendly and had a lively tone, making it enjoyable! After walking just under 1 km, we arrived at Manoa Falls, which had a decent height but a relatively low water flow. The width of the waterfall was unexpectedly narrow, which was a bit disappointing. Exiting the rainy tropical rainforest, Manoa town was dry, and it was interesting to see the climatic changes due to the terrain. We picked up lunch at a popular sandwich shop that has been around for three generations and headed to Tantalus Hill. Enjoying a sandwich that lived up to its reputation while overlooking Diamond Head and the hotels in Waikiki was incredibly pleasant. Although Hiro, our Japanese guide, mentioned that he has only been a guide for a short time, we appreciated his attention to detail.

ピックアップのバスに乗ってみて自分達夫婦以外に日本人の参加者はいないことが分かりましたが、ちゃんと日本人ガイドのHiroさんが付いてサポートしてくれて安心。
マノアの滝までの道は鬱蒼とした熱帯雨林で、ビーチだけではないオアフ島を楽しめた。植物などについて説明してくれた現地ガイドの方は気さく、軽快な口調で面白かった！1km弱歩いて到着したマノアの滝は高さはそこそこあるものの水量が少なめ。滝の幅が予想外に狭くてややガッカリ。雨が降る熱帯雨林から出るとマノアの街はカラッとしていて地形による気候の変化が面白かった。街中で3代続く人気のサンドイッチ店でランチをピックアップしてタンタラスの丘へ。ここからダイヤモンドヘッドやワイキキのホテル群など一望しながら、人気店と言われることが納得できるサンドイッチを頬張るのは凄く心地良かった。
日本人ガイドのHiroさんはガイド歴はまだ短いとのことだったが、細かい気配りがありがたかった。

What an absolutely amazing day! We had so much fun. Special mention to the guides who shared stories of the land and taught us about the Aloha spirit.

Kioki was by far the best guide we’ve dealt with and we have done a lot of tours. Very energetic and knowledgeable. The North Shore Eco-Tour was awesome. Highly recommend this to anyone. Breathtaking views and the true nature of Hawaii!

The captain and co-captain made it a fun experience. I enjoyed the punch that was provided. This sail boat tour was an overall great time, and I would certainly go again.

Beautiful day with a super crew! Sandbar and snorkling are magic!!!

Yoshi was our tour guide and he was fabulous. Very knowledgeable and thoroughly enjoyed the overall experience. At 10 thousand feet it does get colder than you expect. We had the chance to stop and change into warmer clothes before going to the summit. Highly recommend this tour!

The Waipoo Falls Hiking tour was outstanding.. great communication from start to finish. Our guide, Garrick, was outstanding and provided us with great information and a fantastic experience.

Very, very enjoyable time! Spectacular views, beautiful boat, spectacular crew.

We had a fun time! Good storytelling, singing, and hula dancing! Would recommend!
