This was beyond my imagination!!!
I thought it would just be riding a boat and paddling in the sea, but I was completely wrong!
We had six people in a narrow canoe that was about the width of our bodies.
We pushed the canoe out from Waikiki Beach into the ocean ourselves.
Then, we quickly boarded the canoe and paddled out to sea.
In sync with the leader's call, we went one-two.
When the leader said "switch," we changed our paddling from the right side to the left.
On our way out, surfers were waiting for waves.
As we passed by the surfers, we greeted them with a "Yeah!" and a shaka sign.
The cute local surfers in bikinis smiled and returned our "Aloha."
Finally, when we reached the wave waiting point, we turned around and waited for a good wave.
In response to the leader's call of "paddle," we paddled at full speed to pick up the pace.
Once we caught a wave, we moved toward the beach at an incredible speed.
It felt like what surfing must be like, and it was exhilarating.
Wow, it was a more enjoyable experience than parasailing.
I definitely want to try canoe surfing the next time I go to Hawaii.
I regret not knowing about this despite having been to Hawaii multiple times—it's highly recommended!
これは想像以上でした!!!
ボートに乗ってオールを漕いで海に浮かぶだけと思っていたら大間違い!
自分の体の幅ほどの細いカヌーに縦に6人乗り。
自分たちでカヌーを押し出しワイキキビーチから海へ。
そして素早くカヌーへ乗り込み沖に向かってオールを漕ぐ。
リーダーの掛け声に合わせワンツー。
そしてリーダーが「はんたーい」と言えば右側から左側へと漕ぐ場所を変える。
沖まで行く間にはサーファー達が波待ちをしている。
サーファー達の横を通り過ぎる時はイエーいとシャカサインでご挨拶。
ビキニのかわいいロコサーファー達が笑顔でアロハと返してくれます。
そしていよいよ波待ちポイントまで来たらくるっと方向転換していい波を待つ。
リーダーの「こいでー」の掛け声に合わせて猛スピードでオールを漕ぎスピードアップ。
波に乗ったら想像以上の速さで波と共にビーチに向かって進みます。
サーフィンやったらこんな感じなんだと思う体験がここと躍らせます。
いやー。パラセーリングより楽しい体験でした。
ハワイに行ったら必ずカヌーサーフィンやろうと思いました。
ハワイは何回も行っていたのになぜ知らなかったんだろうと後悔するほど超おすすめですよ。

I was looking for activities to do in Hawaii with my 3-year-old, and I thought this would be a good option, so I made a reservation.
First, we took a larger boat to the diving point. During the ride, they pointed out things like, "Look, they're doing whale watching over there!" which made the journey enjoyable! We were also lucky to catch a glimpse of a sea turtle. My child had a great time.
Once we were in the submarine, we spent about 45 minutes underwater. While the adults enjoyed it, my active 3-year-old got a bit bored halfway through, and we ended up showing him a video for the last 10 minutes... (laughs)
However, for the first 15 minutes, he was excitedly saying things like, "The fish are waving at me!" I think it was a memorable experience for him since he even reenacted it during bath time when we got home!
Our family is an international marriage family living abroad, so English wasn't an issue for us. The guide was cheerful and shared jokes and interesting facts, which made it enjoyable, but those who are not confident in English might feel a bit left out. I heard that Japanese audio can be downloaded, but it might not always match what the guide is saying.
Overall, I think it was an activity that families with children can enjoy!
今回3歳連れで、ハワイでできるアクティビティを探していて、これはいいんじゃないかなと思って予約しました。
まず潜水ポイントまで、大きめの船で行きます。その時にも、結構「あそこでクジラウォッチングやってるよ、ほらあの方向」とか結構教えてくれて、その道のりも楽しみました!海亀もチラッと見えてとてもラッキーでした。子供もとても楽しんでいました。
潜水艦に潜ってからは45分ほど。大人は楽しめるのですが、うちの3歳動きたい坊やは途中でちょっと飽きてしまって、残り10半のところでビデオを見せることになってしまいました、、笑
でも初めの15分は「お魚さんが手振ってるー」とか言って楽しんでいる様子でした。
家に帰ってからもそれをお風呂で再現したりしているので、きっと心に残った経験だったんだろうなと思っています!
我が家は国際結婚ファミリーで、海外在住なので英語は問題なかったのですが、ガイドが陽気な方で、ジョークをとばしたりうんちくを言ってくれるので、楽しめましたが英語が苦手な方は置いてけぼり感があるかもしれません。日本語オーディオがダウンロードできるとのことでしたが、ガイドが話していることとは必ずしも一致しないと思います。
総じて、子連れで楽しめるアクティビティだったと思います!
At 3 years old, it might be questionable whether they can fully enjoy it, but still, I think it was worth it since there are few activities available for families with small children.
3歳だと100%楽しめるかは微妙かもです、、それでもやっぱり小さい子連れでできることは少ないので、やって良かったと思います。

Since it was January in Hawaii, and coincidentally, it was a windy and cold day, the fireworks were beautiful, and the view from the boat was great. The drinks were served from a simple server and cooler, rather than a full bar, but the crew members were all friendly and approachable, and there was an all-you-can-drink option. We were able to enjoy the fireworks while savoring delicious drinks. It was a great experience.
1月のハワイだったこともあり、また偶然その日は風が強く寒い日でした。花火はキレイで船の上からの眺めは良かったです。船上BARというか簡易サーバーとクーラーボックスで提供される飲み物でしたが、クルーの方は優しく気さくな方ばかりで、お酒も飲み放題。美味しく頂きながら花火を観覧出来ました。良かったですよ。
I think it depends on the season, but it would be nice to have something to wear over your clothes. When you get on the boat, you enter the water a bit from the sandy beach and climb up the ladder, an

The purpose was to see whales, but they were hard to find. Even when I did spot them, I could only see their spouts and a bit of their backs from a distance. It's understandable since it's nature, but later I was able to see the spouts from the hotel balcony as well.
クジラ見る目的なのだが、なかなか見つからなかった。見つけても遠くに潮吹きとわずかに背中が見える程度だった。自然が相手なので仕方ないが、後でホテルのベランダからも潮吹きは見れました。
When the weather is nice, you need to be careful about sunburn. Since you'll be looking for whales outside, there is little shade.

Since it was early in the morning, the pickup time was 5:45 AM. We arrived at a nearby cape before dawn and waited for a while, reaching the entrance just after 7 AM. After entering at 8 AM with standard equipment (snorkel, fins) along with optional life jackets, umbrellas, and chairs, there was a presentation, and we finally made it to the beach by 8:30 AM, ready to swim. Overall, the time spent carrying our belongings was long and tiring. We did see some fish in the sea, but the scenery wasn't as impressive as we had hoped. I also thought the entrance fee of $25 per person was high.
朝一だったのでピックアップの時間は5時45分、夜明け前に近くの岬に到着してしばらく待機し、入口についたのが7時過ぎ。入口から標準装備(シュノーケル、フィン)の他にオプションの救命具、パラソル、椅子をもって8時に入場開始が始まり、説明の上映もあって、8時半にやっと浜辺に着き泳げる体制になりました。とにかく荷物を運んでいる時間も長くくたびれました。海は魚も見れましたが、期待しているほどの景観ではなかったです。また入場料も25ドル/人は高いと思いました。
In the morning, the view is not as good as I expected due to backlighting, and since there are entry restrictions, I think it's better to go around noon.
朝は逆光のため思ったより景観は良くなく、入場制限もあるので昼頃に入るのが良いと思います。
