This is my second time participating, and last time the water was knee-deep, but this time it was up to my neck. There was live music on the boat the whole time, and the atmosphere was very nice. The boat also had a restroom, which was reassuring.

２回目の参加ですが、前回は膝くらいの深さで
今回は首までの深さがありました
船の中はずっと生演奏があり、とても雰囲気が良かったです
船にはトイレもあり、安心です

The cruise was quite good with beautiful seas and a refreshing breeze. The movie location tour had some artificially created spots, but the scenery was nice. The English guide told jokes, but I was disappointed that I couldn't understand them due to my listening skills.

クルーズが、綺麗な海と爽やかな風でかなり良かった。映画ロケ地ツアーは人工的に作られてるところもあったけれど、景色が良かった。英語ガイドがジョークを言うのだけど、リスニング力が無く残念だった。

At the first point, we didn't encounter any manta rays, so we moved to a spot where we could meet them while holding onto the pole. Then, illuminated by the light, the manta ray appeared beautifully as if it was glowing. It was truly breathtaking. After that, it seemed like it was greeting us, swirling around and opening its mouth wide to suck in plankton, which made us incredibly excited each time. The water temperature was a bit low, and by the time we returned to the boat, we were shivering. However, we received hot chocolate on the boat, which warmed up both our salty mouths and cold bodies a little. Thanks to the Japanese guide's attentiveness, we were able to enjoy the tour without any worries. Thank you very much. I would definitely recommend this experience to anyone going to the Big Island of Hawaii.

最初のポイントではマンタは現れなかったので、私達はポールにつかまったままマンタに遭遇できるポイントまで移動。すると光に照らされてまるでマンタが光っている様に美しく登場しました。大感激です。その後も挨拶でもしてくれてるかの様にクルクルと回転したり、口を大きく開けてプランクトンを吸い込んでいる様子がみれて、その度に大興奮でした。水温が少し低くて船に戻る頃にはガタガタ震えてしまいましたが、船でホットチョコのドリンクを貰い塩っぱい口の中も寒い体も少し温まりました。日本語ガイドの方が気を配って頂いたので何も不安なくツアーを楽しめました。ありがとうございました。ハワイ島に行く方には、是非参加する様勧めたいと思います。

This time, I participated with a companion. Thank you for the amazing parasailing over the ocean in Waikiki. Those who are afraid of heights might find it a bit challenging, but I still think it's worth it. Also, if you're concerned about seasickness, make sure to take motion sickness medication before going.

今回，同行者との2人で参加しました．ワイキキの海に最高なパラセイリング，ありがとうございました．
高所恐怖症の方は少し苦手かもしれませんが，それでも行く価値はあると思います．
あと，船酔いする懸念がある方は必ず酔い止めを飲んでから行きましょう．

We were blessed with great weather and enjoyed ziplining amidst the beautiful contrast of the sky, mountains, and ocean in Kualoa, Hawaii. The staff only spoke English, but they were cheerful and friendly, enhancing the experience of the activities. I think it's definitely worth a try.

　天気に恵まれ、ハワイのクアロアの空、山、海の美しいコントラストの中、ジップラインを楽しめました。スタッフは英語オンリーですが、明るく親切で、アクティビティを盛り上げてくれます。トライして損はないと思います。

This was the best tour of my life. You can go by rental car, but there were so many experiences that you can only have on the tour. The tour guide, Yamapi, kindly shared information beyond the tour, so it's better to join early after arriving in Maui. I would love to participate again.

これまでの人生体験で最高のツアーでした。
レンタカーでも行けますが、ツアーでしか体験出来ないことが盛り沢山でした。
ツアーガイドの山ピーさんは、ツアー以外のことも親切に教えてくれるので、マウイ島に到着したら早目に参加した方がお得です。
もう一度、参加したいと思います。

I feel like I've been coming to Hawaii on this ship every year. I love the view of Waikiki and the hotels when I look back after heading out to sea 😊. The scenery that disappears at night can be fully appreciated during the day. I'm also looking forward to seeing the back of Diamond Head. Sea turtles and dolphins... they show up every year as well.

毎年この船に乗ってハワイに来た事を感じています
沖に出て振り返った時のワイキキの街やホテルの風景が大好きです😊
夜だと見えなくなってしまう景色も昼なら全貌出来ます
裏ダイヤモンドヘッドを見れるのも楽しみです
ウミガメやイルカ…なども毎年姿を見せてくれます

I have had a few horseback riding experiences on Oahu, but they were just walking tours. Here, we were able to trot a bit in a safe, spacious area. If you're scared, it's perfectly fine to just walk. You can still enjoy it. Other tours had 3-hour courses, but I think this 1.5-hour option is the best time since my backside would start to hurt.

One downside was that it took a while for the toilet tank to fill up because there was only one pipe available.

オアフ島で数回の乗馬経験ありますが、歩くだけのツアーでした。こちらの乗馬は安全な広い場所では 少し走らせたりできました。怖ければ歩くだけでもOK。楽しめます。他のツアーでは3Hコース等がありましたが、お尻が痛くなってしまうので、こちらの1.5H程度がベストタイムと思います。
ネックなのはパイプが1本しか来ていないとの理由で、トイレタンクに水が溜まるのに時間がかかりました。

Our guide to the Waipi'o Valley tour was Kaloeo Olival He did a superlative job. We really enjoyed the tour and learned quite a bit about Hawaiian traditional culture.

Thanks to you and to Kaloeo!

We had a great time. The crew was outstanding. We wish we had mere time on the sandbar.

Great entertainment and beautiful setting. Helpful life guards provided great instructions and safety info. Very organized and efficient. Had a great time would recommend and rebook on a return trip.

First of all, the closing time is too early at 3 PM. On the day of my visit, the lazy river and some slides were closed. The price was too high for just the wave pool. It also took about 30 minutes to get our food after ordering, even though it wasn't crowded at all. I reserved a cabana, but it wasn't necessary due to the short operating hours.

まず閉園時間が15時と早すぎる
当日、流れるプールと一部のスライダーが中止という。
波のプールだけでは高すぎる金額でした
食事もオーダーしてから30分程かかりました。
全然混んでいないのに。
カバナ予約しましたが営業時間が短いので必要ありませんでした。

It was drizzling on the day of our visit, but since it's a mountain area, the weather changed frequently between sunny and cloudy. The ride on the buggy wasn't very comfortable, but it became a good memory nonetheless. The scenery is absolutely stunning. We stopped the buggy at various spots where the staff provided explanations, but since it was in English, I didn't understand much. However, I managed to grasp the gist and enjoyed it. They also provided something like a neck warmer on-site, which helped avoid the dust. Goggles are also available for free rental.

当日は小雨でしたが山の天気なので変わりやすいのか晴れたり曇ったりでした。
バギーの乗り心地はあまりよくなかったのですが、それもいい思い出になりました。
とにかく景色が素晴らしいです。
各所でバギーを停めてスタッフの方が色々な説明をしてくれましたが英語だったのでさっぱりわかりませんでしたが、なんとなく理解して楽しめました。
現地でネックウォーマーみたいなものもいただけるので砂埃は回避できました。ゴーグルも無料で貸してもらえます。

I participated because I learned that there was a permanent show by Cirque du Soleil. This time, I was in the second row, almost in the center!

It had a Hawaiian vibe, with acrobatics and humor on stage. I felt a bit disappointed that I couldn't understand the words, but other than that, I was close to the stage, it was powerful, and very impressive! There were constant surprises. It was full of moments where I thought, "Wow, that's amazing!"

It turned out to be a wonderful night!

シルク・ドゥ・ソレイユの常設があると知ったので参加しました。
今回、ほぼ中央2列目！

ハワイらしい感じとアクロバティック、ユーモアのあるステージでした。
言葉が分からなかったいう点では残念感はあるけど、それ以外はステージから近いし、迫力あるし、見応え有り有り！ビックリすることが連発。
わぁ〜凄い！ってタイミングだらけでした。

素敵な夜になりましたー！！

After participating in a dolphin tour on the Big Island, I thought about trying "Manta" for the next ten years, and I finally got to join the "Manta University Night Class." Since it was a night class, I had the image that "the dark sea is scary," which made it hard for me to take the plunge. However, as I've gotten older, I thought this might be my last chance, so I decided to participate. To my surprise, there was not even a hint of the feeling of a dark sea. It was amazing to see the mantas swimming gracefully through the water, and I was so close that I could almost touch them.

ハワイ島のイルカツアーに参加して、次は「マイタ」に挑戦と思ってから１０年、ようやく
『マンタ大学夜間部』に参加する事ができました。
夜間部という事で、『暗い海は怖い』イメージがあり、なかなか踏み出せませんでしたが、
年齢も重ね、これが最後と考え参加しましたが、暗い海という感じは１ミリもなく、マンタが
海の中を『優雅に飛ぶ様に泳ぎ』、『もう少しでマンタに触れらる』という感動で最高でした。

We participated as a family of three. While some activities are far from Waikiki, this canoe was easily accessible in Waikiki, and the staff and captain were very kind, allowing us to catch some great waves.

家族３名での参加。アクティビティはワイキキから遠いものもありますが、このカヌーはサッとワイキキで利用できて、スタッフ、キャプテンもとても親切で良い波に乗れました。

It was such a great experience - thanks to Yoshi. He is such a warm and friendly person who really takes care of making it a marvelous trip. He is a safe driver, knows the best secret spots where you can enjoy a peaceful sunset and he is well equipped with his telescopes for stargazing. It was an enchanting experience all around!

Clyde was a perfect host for our Lanai Island Tour. Very considerate and tried to pull everyone in on the conversation. It was great to have the tour given by someone who lives on the island and provided us a lot of background on what it's like to live there. The island was a complete surprise as to its landscape.

Crew was great, food was good, would recommend to all

We continued from last year. This time, we checked the tide conditions and made a reservation, so the water was very shallow and the weather was nice, making it really beautiful. There were many children, so I couldn't be pulled along for snorkeling like last year, but we were able to see a lot of fish, and afterwards, we had a great time playing at SAP. I think I will participate again next year.

昨年に引き続き行ってまいりました。今回も潮の状態を確認し予約したため、水深がとても浅く、天候もよかったためすごくきれいでした。子どもが多く昨年のように手を引っ張ってもらってシュノーケリングというわけにはいきませんでしたが、魚が多く見れ、またその後もＳＡＰで楽しく遊べ良かったです。また、来年も参加すると思います。

The activity itself was great, and I felt reassured by the explanations in Japanese. The duration of the activity was also long, and I was satisfied.

アクティビティ自体も良かったですが、日本語で説明してくれて安心しました。
1アクティビティ自体の時間も長く、満足でした。

The number of units was limited, and there was almost always a wait time. Some people were getting seasick while waiting. The actual time spent diving was very short, which was disappointing.

台数が限られてほとんど待ち時間でした。
人によっては待ってる時間で船酔いしていました。実際に装着して潜った時間もすごく短くて不満だった。

I loved the movie filmed here and made a reservation. The scale was grand, and I was able to experience something extraordinary!

However, while other guides were taking pictures with dinosaur plush toys in the drop-off area, our guide stayed in the car. I think it would be a better tour if you could ensure a more equal quality of guides.

こちらで撮影された映画が大好きで予約をしました。
スケールが壮大で非日常を味わうことができました！

ただ、降車エリアで他のガイドさんは恐竜のぬいぐるみを持って撮影してくれていたのに、私たちのガイドは車に乗ったままでした。
ガイドの質平等を頼んでいただけたらもっといいツアーになると思います。

I participated with my wife and our two children, aged 9 and 5. I was a bit worried that my 5-year-old might be scared, but he had a great time. The weather was nice, and the view of Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head was incredibly refreshing.

妻、9歳、5歳の子供と家族4人で参加しました。
ちょっと怖がるかな？と不安でしたが5歳の息子も大はしゃぎでした。
天気も良くワイキキビーチとダイヤモンドヘッドが見渡せて爽快感が半端なかったです。

We went to the Polynesian show at WDW years ago and this one blew it out of the water. Fantastic family atmosphere.

I joined a tour because I wanted to see wild dolphins. Right after we set sail, we encountered a pod of spinner dolphins, and they swam alongside the boat for a long time, jumping several times. The natural dolphin show was absolutely amazing. The staff was very friendly and taught us a lot about Hawaii. It was quite cold when we returned after snorkeling, so I really appreciated the warm drink they provided. I was hoping there would be a hot water shower, but unfortunately, there wasn't.

野生のイルカを見たくてツアーに参加しました。出航してからすぐにマダライルカの群れに会うことができ、長時間船と一緒に泳いでくれたり何度もジャンプもしてくれました。自然のイルカショーはとても最高でした。スタッフの方もとても親切でハワイについて色々と教えてくれました。シュノーケルを終えて帰ってくるときとても寒かったので温かいドリンクの提供ありがたかったです。
温水シャワー付きなのかと思っていたのですがなかったのが残念でした。

On the way to Haleiwa (North Shore), we had a break at the Dole Plantation. It’s a good spot for a restroom break and to check out souvenirs. I took some photos and bought a T-shirt. After that, we were taken to the ranch to start our horseback riding experience. The driver spoke fluent Japanese and provided an overview during the ride. However, all the staff at the ranch were locals, so they didn’t speak Japanese. But they were very friendly, and I managed just fine by watching and mimicking them. My child had ridden horses in Japan before, but this was the first time riding independently rather than on a lead. Since we would be riding for nearly an hour, I was initially anxious, but the horses were very calm, and I quickly got used to it and felt at ease. More than that, my backside was sore! The weather was great, and as we rode along the beach, I felt time slow down and realized I was having a precious experience. This isn’t something you can do in Japan... I would love to do it again if I have the chance, but please be aware that the muscles in my legs, which I don’t usually use, were quite sore right after getting off the horse.

After the horseback riding experience, we were dropped off in the town of Waialua for some free time until the meeting time. We took a lunch break at Island Vintage Coffee and had an acai bowl and a veggie bagel plate. It was very delicious, and my wife really enjoyed the bagel sandwich. After that, we strolled around the town, visiting clothing stores and shops, and when we got thirsty, we ordered shave ice. There was quite a line, but it moved quickly, so we didn’t have to wait too long. On the way back in the car, I was able to sleep soundly, and we got back before 3:00 PM, so it didn’t affect anything afterward. I think it was a really good optional tour.

ハレイワ（ノースショア）までの途中、ドールプランテーションで休憩があります。
トイレ休憩やお土産物を見るのも良いでしょう。私は、写真を撮りTシャツを購入しました。その後、牧場まで連れて行ってもらい、乗馬体験のスタートです。ドライバーさんは日本語ぺらぺらなので、行きの道中におおよその説明をしてくれます。というか牧場のスタッフの方々は全て現地の方なので、日本語は通じませんw　でもフレンドリーに接してくださるので見よう見まねで全然大丈夫でした。子供も日本で馬には乗ったことがあったのですが、引き馬でなく自分で動かすのは初めて。しかも1時間近く乗りますので、最初は不安でしたが、馬さん達も非常に大人しく、すぐに慣れて安心して見ていられました。それよりも自分のお尻が痛かったですw　天候も良くて、馬に乗りながらビーチ沿いを歩いていると時の流れをゆっくりに感じて、貴重な体験をしているなぁとしみじみ感じてしまいました。日本ではこうはいかないと・・・　また機会あれば体験したいですが、普段使わない足の筋肉が酷使されているため、馬から降りた直後は心地よい筋肉痛を感じることをご了承ください。
乗馬体験の後はワレイワの街で下ろしてもらい、集合時間までフリータイム。アイランドビンテージコーヒーでお昼休憩を取り、アサイーボウルとベジベーグルのプレートを食べました。非常に美味で、妻がベーグルサンドにハマってました。その後は街をぶらつき、洋服屋、雑貨屋さんを巡り、喉が乾いたところでシェイブアイスを注文。結構な人が並んでいましたが、回転が早いのでそんなに待つことなくありつけました。帰りの車の中ではぐっすり寝ることもでき、15:00前には帰って来れたので、その後に影響することもなく、非常に良いオプショナルツアーではないかなと思いました。

We had a great experience and the food was delicious.

It's a bit expensive, but you should choose the PM course. The AM course can be cold if it's not sunny. When it's cloudy or rainy, the water visibility is low and it feels cold. The snorkeling equipment is old and there isn't enough, so I recommend buying some at ABC Store before going.

多少高いがPMコースにするべき。AMコースは晴れていないと寒い。
曇りや雨だと、水の透明度も低く冷たく感じる。シュノーケル機材も古く数も足りないので、ABCストアで買って行くのをお勧めする。

I wanted my grandchildren to experience various activities at the Polynesian Cultural Center, so we went as a family of nine, including my four grandchildren (ages 0, 2, 10, and 11). Children aged 0 and 2 are free, and those aged 10 and 11 get half price. Other tours don’t offer such benefits, so we were able to participate at a reasonable cost. We had a great time exploring the six villages and experiencing Polynesian culture, as well as enjoying a canoe tour.

Since very little Japanese was spoken, it was difficult to understand how to use the voucher for entry and the announcements regarding pickup times and locations. Japanese brochures are available at the entrance.

ポリネシアンカルチャーセンターで子どもたちに色々と体験させたいと思い、孫4人(0歳2歳10歳11歳)を含め一家9人で行きました。0歳2歳は無料、10歳11歳は半額。他のツアーではこのような特典がないので、リーズナブルに参加することができました。6つ村を巡ってポリネシア文化体験、カヌーツアーと楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。
日本語がほとんど通じなかったので、バウチャーを使っての入園の仕方や迎えの時間と場所のアナウンスが分かりにくかったです。
日本語版のリーフレットは、入口でもらえます。
