I rode this again after going last time. The sea sparkled beautifully. The dolphins came close and stayed with us for quite a while. The sea breeze felt really nice.

前回行った時も乗って今回リピートしました。
海がキラキラ光ってとてもキレイです。
イルカが近くに来て結構ずっとついてきてくれました。
海風がとても気持ち良かったです。

Traveling through the tunnels was a lot of fun and our guide Megan was very informative about the plantation history.

I drove a buggy in the magnificent nature. The ups and downs are intense. There was no Japanese guide, so I could hardly understand what was being said. I only enjoyed about half of it, but I think those who understand English would have a great time. Besides buggies, there are cycling and horseback riding options.

雄大な自然の中、バギーで運転しました。アップダウンは激しい。日本語ガイドいないので何言ってるかほとんど分からず。半分ほどしか楽しめてないが、英語がわかる方はすごい楽しいと思います。バギー以外に、サイクリング、ホースがあります。

We rode four-wheel buggies as a family. My spouse and I took turns driving, and it was truly enjoyable to see the wonderful scenery of Hawaii while off-roading. The kids were also thrilled. The guide spoke English, so it was difficult for me to understand everything with my listening skills, but they cheerfully shared many stories about the history of Kualoa Ranch. They were a wonderful guide.

家族で4輪バギーに乗りました。夫婦で交代で運転でき、オフロードを走りながらハワイの素晴らしい景色を見られて本当に楽しかったです。子供も大喜びでした。ガイドさんは英語だったので、私のリスニング力では全ての理解は難しかったですが、ハキハキ明るくクアロアランチにまつわるハワイの昔話を随所随所でお話してくださりました。とても素敵なガイドさんでした。

I was worried about the meal because I didn't have a great experience at a previous event, but everything was very delicious. The pineapple and the lomi lomi before the meal were especially fantastic.
I arrived early, and before the buffet started, each group was treated to a live performance of a ukulele chorus. I recommend arriving early.
The show focused on Elvis and Michael, and I think adults will really enjoy it.
It might be a bit difficult for those from generations that aren't very familiar with Elvis and Michael.
After the show, there was time to take photos with the performers, which made for a nice memory.

お食事は、以前別のイベントであまりいい思い出がなかったので、心配していましたが、どれもとてもおいしくいただきました。特に食前のパイナップルやロミロミが最高でした。
早めに到着しましたが、ビュッフェが始まる前に１組ずつウクレレのワンコーラスの生演奏をしていただきました。早めに行くことをお勧めします。
ショーはエルビスとマイケル中心で、大人の方々は大変楽しめると思います。
あまりエルビスと、マイケルになじみのない世代には少し難しいかもしれません。。
ショーの後は、演者の方々と写真を撮る時間もあり、いい記念になりました。

I checked in at 9:30 for my 10:00 reservation and boarded the boat as soon as the previous group returned. There were two crew members and ten passengers. Right after boarding, we put on life jackets and seat belts, and took turns jumping. I was nervous until we took off, but once we were in the air, the sound of the wind was pleasant, and the blue of the sky and sea was beautiful. It was amazing to see Diamond Head and Waikiki from the ocean side.

10時予約のため9時30分に受付、前のグループが戻って来てすぐに乗船。
クルーは2人、乗客は10名でした。乗船後すぐにライフジャケット、ベルト着用、順番に飛びます。飛ぶまではドキドキしましたが、上空に上がると風の音が心地良く、空と海の青さが綺麗で海からダイヤモンドヘッド、ワイキキの景色を海側から見ることが出来素晴らしかったです。

The sandbar was not a beach but a shallow area that was about knee-deep. However, since I checked the tide data in advance, I was able to enjoy it quite a bit. Everyone had fun playing beach volleyball and practicing snorkeling.

The hamburgers for lunch were incredibly delicious. I was also amazed by the number of sea turtles we saw.

The final snorkeling experience was wonderful, with clear water and lots of tropical fish. Even for someone like me who isn't a strong swimmer, it was enjoyable.

All the crew members were fantastic, always keeping us entertained and paying close attention to safety, for which I am very grateful.

サンドバーは砂浜ではなく膝下くらいまで浸かる浅瀬でしたが、それは事前に干潮満潮データを見て行っていたので、それはそれなりに楽しめました。みんなビーチバレーやシュノーケルの練習を行い楽しかったです。
昼食のハンバーガーもめちゃくちゃ美味しくいただきました。
ウミガメウォッチもめちゃくちゃいて驚きました。
最後のシュノーケルは水中がきれいで熱帯魚達がたくさんいました。泳ぎが苦手な私でも楽しめました。
クルーの方々全員素晴らしい方で常に楽しませていただき、安全にも十分気を配っていただき感謝です。

I had a great time! I definitely want to ride again next time. (Thank you for resending the data.)

とても楽しかったです！
次もまた絶対乗りたい。
（データ送り直してくださりありがとうございました。）

I had a great time paragliding for the first time.
I understand a little Japanese.
They ask how long you want to stay in the water.
The scenery was very beautiful.

I went at 4 PM.
Due to the sunlight, there was almost no shade in the waiting area, and it was hot while waiting.

There was a restroom nearby, but it was a public toilet by the beach.
There may be times when there is no toilet paper.

初めてのパラセイルとっても楽しめました。
日本語は少し通じます。
どれくらい着水したいか聞いてくれます。
とても景色が綺麗でした。

16時の回でした。
日の当たりの都合で待っている間の待合所の日陰が殆どなく暑かったです。

近くにトイレはありましたが、海辺の公衆トイレです。
トイレットペーパーがない場合があります。

Since the time of participation was close to high tide, the depth was nearly 70 centimeters, but I had researched beforehand and was satisfied, so it was not a problem. On the contrary, I would like to visit again during low tide.

Even though it was high tide, we went out to sea, so the area around the sandbar was deep. I was able to take photos where the color of the sea was distinctly different.

The honu also came close to the boat! The bright staff allowed us to enjoy activities like snorkeling and stand-up paddleboarding!

参加日の時間帯は満潮に近かったため、腰　70センチ近くの深さはありましたが、事前に調べて納得した上で参加したので問題ありませんでした。逆に浅瀬の時にまた訪問してみたいと思いました。
満潮といえ、沖に出ていますので、サンドバーの周りは深い海。海の色がくっきり違う写真が撮れました。
ホヌも船の近くまで来てくれました！
明るいスタッフ、シュノーケルとsupなどのアクティビティを楽しむことができました！

At the initial gathering, I heard that we were the only two Japanese people, which made me a bit anxious. However, our tour guide Ryuichi was kind and taught us thoroughly, and we had a great time. He also explained the history of Hawaii in detail, which was very educational. It was moving to see a mother and baby dolphin. Additionally, the slide from the boat was very impressive and a rare experience. Snorkeling allowed us to see fish and beautiful scenery, which was breathtaking. Thank you very much, Ryuichi!!!

最初の集合時に日本人は私達の二人だけと聞き少し不安な気持ちになりましたが
ツアーガイドのRyuichiさんに優しく丁寧に教えて貰いとても楽しめました。
ハワイの歴史についても丁寧に教えて頂き勉強になりました。
イルカの親子を見ることができとても感動しました。また、船内からの滑り台はとても迫力があり貴重な体験でした。
シュノーケリングは魚を見れて綺麗な景色が見れ感動しました。
Ryuichiさん、今回はありがとうございました！！！

I went through the departure procedures feeling anxious, but I headed towards the exit. The bright yellow aloha shirt made it very easy to spot, which made the process reassuring. The driver advised me to remember the hotel name well. Since he shared a lot of information about Hawaii like a bus tour guide, it was really enjoyable.

不安な中出国手続きをして、出口に向かいました。黄色いアロハシャツがとてもわかりやすく安心して手続きがありました。
ホテル名はしっかり覚えておいた方がいいですよ〜と運転手さんがアドバイスしていただきました。バスガイド付きツアーのようにハワイ情報を教えてくれたので、とても楽しかったです。

This tour was so informative. Our guide was excellent and we each received a pineapple to bring home.

This was a great Luau. We had heard great review about this and we are so glad we experienced it. The grounds were beautiful, the food was delicious and the show was excellent. The excursion was well organized.

We took this excursion the day leaving port and it was an excellent excursion. The views of the canyon were beautiful. Leone was a great guide.

Bjorn was a wonderful guide and was very knowledgeable. I would recommend this tour versus driving it yourself due to the narrow roads.

Our tour at Kipu Ranch in Kauai was absolutely unforgettable! From start to finish, the experience was filled with breathtaking scenery, exciting trails, and the kind of adventure you only dream about when you picture Hawaii. 🌴✨

The guides were incredible—knowledgeable, funny, and made us feel safe the whole way while still letting us enjoy the thrill of the ride. We explored lush valleys, rugged hillsides, and even movie-worthy backdrops that took our breath away. 🚙💨 Everywhere we turned was like stepping into a postcard.

What really stood out was how much we learned along the way—about Kauai’s history, the culture, and the land itself. It wasn’t just an adrenaline rush; it was a deeper connection to the island.

If you’re visiting Kauai, don’t miss this adventure. Whether you’re here for the views, the excitement, or just want to experience the island in a unique way, Kipu Ranch delivers it all. Highly recommend—it was truly the highlight of our trip! 🌺🌊🌈

I participated with my middle school child, but all the participants were foreigners (I couldn't understand the explanations at all). Although the atmosphere was adult-oriented since alcohol was served, we were able to relax and spend a long time enjoying light snacks, which made for a wonderful memory on our last night. I'm glad I participated.

中学生の子供と参加しましたが、全員外国人の参加でした（解説も全く聞き取れませんでした）。お酒を飲めることから大人の雰囲気ではありましたが、軽食を食べながら長い時間、ゆったりと過ごすことが出来、最後の夜の素敵な思い出になりました。参加して良かったです。

I was expecting the sandbar to be on the beach, but the water level was higher than I thought. However, the water was clear. The staff were very friendly and took photos for us.

We were able to see manta rays and sea turtles, which was amazing.

The hamburger for lunch was delicious.

The snorkeling wasn't great at first because the water clarity wasn't very good, making it hard to find fish, but by the time I got used to it, I was able to see plenty of tropical fish.

After snorkeling, there were warm drinks available, and I enjoyed some cocoa.

Above all, the staff were fantastic, and I had a great time. Thank you!

サンドバーは砂浜の上に立てるのを期待していたが思っていたより水位があった。でも水は綺麗だった。スタッフの人もいろいろと声をかけてくれて写真も撮ってくれた。
マンタも海亀も見ることが出来て最高。

ランチのハンバーガーが美味しかった。

シュノーケリングは海の透明度があまり良くなく最初は魚を探すのが大変だったけれど、慣れた頃には熱帯魚をいっぱい見られました。

シュノーケリング終了後は温かい飲み物の用意が有りココアでほっこり。

なんといってもスタッフの皆様が最高でとても楽しめました。ありがとうございました。

During my long-awaited trip to Hawaii, I wanted to try snorkeling at Hanauma Bay even as a solo traveler in my 60s, so I signed up for a tour. As many have shared in their experiences, Chieko and Dan's hospitality was wonderful. They efficiently and kindly taught us how to put on the wetsuits and how to use the equipment and fins, making it easy for beginners to enjoy. I was worried about whether I could keep up at my age, but Chieko frequently checked in with me, asking, "Are you okay?" while guiding me along. I was thrilled to swim alongside sea turtles for quite a long time. I also got to meet a sleeping seal.

Thank you so much, Chieko and Dan. Please continue this tour for everyone and stay healthy!

久しぶりのハワイで、60代の一人旅でもハナウマ湾のシュノーケリングに挑戦したくて、ツアーに申し込みました。体験談で皆さんが書いていますが、ちえこさんとダンさんのホスピタリティが素晴らしく、ウエットスーツの着方から用具・フィンの付け方などテキパキと丁寧に教えていただき、初心者でも安心して楽しめました。高齢の私がついていけるか心配でしたが、ちえこさんが、時々「大丈夫？」と確認しながら手を引いて誘導してくださいました。ウミガメとかなり長い間一緒に泳げて感激しました。寝ているあざらし君にも会えました。
ちえこさん、ダンさん、ほんとにありがとうございました。これからもどうぞお元気で、皆さんのためにこのツアーを続けてくださいね。

I was a bit delayed due to road conditions, but the female driver was very pleasant. She helped me when I almost got off at the wrong stop. She was a skilled driver and even helped with my luggage.

道路事情で少し遅れましたが、感じのいい女性ドライバーさんで、降りる場所を間違えそうになったら、ちゃんと教えてくれて助かりました。
運転も上手で、荷物も下ろしてくれました。

I'm not good with heights, but since my family wanted to do it, I thought it would be nice to view Diamond Head from the sky, so I did my best to participate.

It was scary at the highest point, but the view from above was amazing.

高い所が苦手ですが、家族がやりたいと言うので空からダイヤモンドヘッドを眺めるの良いかなと思って頑張って参加しました。

1番高いところでは怖かったですが、空から眺める景色は最高でした。

This was my first time using the service. It was much cheaper and more convenient than taking a taxi for a solo trip, with less waiting time. The car was spacious and I was comfortably taken to my hotel. I will use it again if I have the opportunity.

今回初めての利用
1人旅にはタクシーよりも安く待ち時間も少なく大変ん便利に利用できました。
車内も広く快適にホテルまで送っていただきました。
又機会がありましたら利用します。

This half-day Sandbar excursion was awesome. The entire crew was TOP-NOTCH. They made sure everyone had a good understanding of the Do's & Don'ts, with a great emphasis on safety. The provided meal was very good, and to our surprise the live entertainment was perfect for the cruise. The package included numerous activities, which included snorkeling, kayaking, sup's and much more. Great experience for a great price. THANKS TO ALL...

The driver was friendly, and although it was mentioned that he couldn't speak Japanese, it seemed his wife was Japanese, so he could speak a little. It was cool in the early morning, and I was able to climb at my own pace. On the way back, he kindly provided bottled water, which tasted very good. When I arrived at the hotel, I made it in time for breakfast, so that was great. I did well at 56 years old!

ドライバーさんも気さくな方で日本語は出来ないと書いてあったけど奥様が日本人だったようで片言ですが良かったです。
早朝で涼しく、自分のペースで登る事が出来ました。帰りにはペットボトルをサービスして下さりとても美味しく感じました。
ホテルに着いたら朝食の時間に間に合い食べる事もできたので良かったです。56才よく頑張りました

I got a seat in the center of the front row, and after waiting about a day, it was confirmed. It was very easy. The performance right in front of me was indeed impressive. If I can go again next time, I would like to make a reservation again.

最前列の中央の席を取ってもらい一日くらい待って確定しました。とても簡単でした
目の前での演技はやっぱり迫力がありますね
次回も行けたらまた予約したいと思います

I'm really glad I participated in this tour! That day, there was one Japanese participant and it was my first time in Kailua, but the female Japanese staff member kindly taught us everything from beach safety tips to how to enjoy the area, as well as how to rent and use equipment, making it easy for us to relax and fully enjoy the tour! Thank you very much! Kailua Beach and Lanikai Beach were both much clearer than Waikiki and absolutely beautiful; swimming there was a lot of fun! There were also bike rentals available, which made exploring the town convenient.

このツアーに参加して本当に良かったです！
その日は日本人1人参加&初カイルアでしたが、女性日本人のスタッフの方が最初から最後までビーチでの注意点や周辺の楽しみ方、レンタルの方法や使い方をとても丁寧に教えてくださり、リラックスしてツアーを満喫出来ました！ありがとうございました！
カイルアビーチもラニカイビーチもワイキキより透明度も高く最高に綺麗で泳ぐのもとても楽しかったです♪自転車レンタルもあり、街散策も便利でしたー

Every time I go to Hawaii, I sign up for parasailing here!
What a lucky thing it was that this time there were no other passengers, and the service was outstanding in a private setting!
We even shared personal stories, and I got some recommendations for Hawaii.
They might be my number one acquaintance in Hawaii (laughs).
Also, it seems like it was the first day for a young crew member this time, and there were three of them. I'm looking forward to seeing the growth of the younger staff. On the other hand, I'm a bit worried about whether the usual crew will retire...
See you!

ハワイに行くたびに、こちらのパラセーリングを申し込みます！
何とラッキーなことに、今回は他の同乗者が無く、プライベートでサービス満点でした！
身の上話までして、ハワイのオススメを教えてもらいました。
ハワイで1番の知り合いかも（笑）
あと、今回は若いクルーの初日だったみたいで、３人体制でした。若手の成長も楽しみです。逆に、いつものクルーが引退しないか気になりますが…
またね！

This battleship was actually used until about 30 years ago. You can see photos of the actual attack sites of the Japanese kamikaze, as well as images of the water burials conducted by American soldiers, and the surrender documents of Japan from World War II. Additionally, free Japanese tours can be booked on the ship on the day of your visit.

約30年前まで実際に使われていた戦艦です。
実際の日本のカミカゼの攻撃跡や、敵であるアメリカ兵による水葬の様子の写真、第二次世界大戦での日本の降伏文書も見られます。
また、無料の日本語ツアーも当日船上で申し込み可能です。

I participated in the buggy driving experience at Kualoa Ranch. It was a very spacious ranch, and driving on the slightly tight mountain roads, curves, bumpy paths, and slopes was a lot of fun. The scenery was beautiful, with views of the ocean and mountains. It was also great to take commemorative photos at the filming points of Jurassic Park. The guide was cheerful and friendly, which made the experience even better.

クアロアランチのバギー運転体験に参加しました。
とても広い牧場で、ちょっとタイトな山道やカーブ、でこぼこ道や坂など運転するのに楽しかったです。
景色も海や山が見えてとても綺麗でした。
またジュラシックパークの撮影ポイントで記念撮影ができていい記念になりました。
ガイドさんが陽気でフレンドリーで良かったです。
