I was able to enjoy an aerial walk with a view of Diamond Head, the beach, and Hilton Village! When you're up parasailing, it’s not scary, but there are times when it can feel a bit frightening while you're on the boat due to the speed. If you pay $40, they will take about 100 photos for you.

ダイヤモンドヘッド、ビーチ、ヒルトンビレッジを一望できる空中散歩ができました！パラセーリングで上がってる時は怖くないですが、船がスピード出す都合上、船に乗ってる時は浮遊感があり怖い時があります。40ドル払えば写真を100枚程度撮ってくれます。

Last visited fern grotto in 1978. So disappointed we couldn’t walk up into cave as before. Sidewalks were broken and heaving up. Difficult to walk. Dangerous

Cody and team were funny and attentive. The tubing was a blast. Definitely bring a long sleeve rash guard or if you get cold quickly seriously consider renting wet suit top. About 3 in our group of about 20 got quite cold. Rest of us were fine. This is a must do when on Kauai.

I thought it was nice that there is a four-day course. However, as someone who knows the old trolleys, my impression is that there are significantly fewer trolleys now. Because of this, the trolleys were quite crowded. Also, there are not as many night trolleys as there used to be. The trolleys that go via Don Quijote have also decreased quite a bit, so it often ended up being a walk from Ala Moana after taking the trolley there.

4日間コースがあるのはいいなと思いました。
ただ、昔のトローリーを知っている者としては、
ずいぶんトローリーの本数が少なくなったな・・・・というのが印象です。
なので、1台当たりのトローリーが、結構、混雑が激しかったです。
また昔ほど、夜のトローリーの本数がなくなりました。
ドンキ経由のトローリーも、かなり少なくなり、結局はアラモアナまで行って、そこから歩き・・・・というのが多かったです

The show was enjoyable, and the power of the live band's performance along with the singers and dancers was excellent. I was very satisfied that we could take photos at the end, but it's better not to have high expectations for the food.

ショーは楽しく、生バンドの演奏の迫力と歌手やダンサーのパフォーマンスは最高でした、最後には写真撮影もでき大満足でしたが、食事は期待しない方がよいですね。

They provided various little bits of information! The time spent in the car was comfortable. I had a lot of fun! I also felt reassured that the person in charge was Japanese.

色んなプチ情報をおしえてくれました！
車内の時間も快適でした。
とっても楽しかった！
担当が日本人の方で安心もしました。

In winter, the waves in Hawaii were calm, so they suggested riding the waves without a stick, like surfing! It was so much fun!!

冬のハワイは波が穏やかだったので、
サーフィンのようにスティックなしで波乗りすることを提案してくれた！これがとっても楽しかった！！

The guide was very friendly and wonderful, and they took us snorkeling all around Hanauma Bay. However, considering the fee to enter the ocean, the water clarity was low, and there were only dull-colored fish, which was disappointing given my high expectations for snorkeling. It was the morning sea, after all... But the guide was amazing!

とてもフレンドリーで素敵なガイドさんで、ハナウマ湾をくまなく？シュノーケリングしてくれました。ただ、お金を払って入る海の割には透明度が低く、魚も地味な色の魚ばかりで、期待が大きかっただけにシュノーケリングは残念でした。朝いちの海なのに…。でも、ガイドさんは最高！でした。

I traveled to Hawaii alone, and I felt that it was a great tour that allowed me to efficiently visit various spots. The guide's Japanese was excellent, and the conversation was enjoyable. I was blessed with good weather, and the blue sky and sea were amazing!

一人旅でハワイに来ましたので、効率よく色々なスポットに行けて、お得なツアーだと感じました。
ガイドさんの日本語も上手でお話し楽しかったです。
天気に恵まれ青い空と海が最高！

The course has changed since I experienced it a year ago, and we couldn't get close to the movie filming locations. The scenery was amazing, but I preferred the previous course. Although there was a shuttle service, the gap between the bus arrival/departure times and the experience was too long. It seems that for the 11:30 start time, the bus leaves just before that. I took a stroll on a nearby beach, but even then, I felt a bit at a loss for what to do.

一年前に体験した際とコースが変わっており、映画のロケ地の近くまでいけなかった。
景色は最高だったが、前回のコースの方が良かった。
送迎付きだったが、バスの到着出発時刻と体験の時刻の空き時間が長すぎた。
11:30開始の回だとちょうど一本前のバスが出た後だかららしい。
近くのビーチ散策をしたが、それでも少し持て余した。

I stayed at King Kamehameha. While sitting on a bench outside the front desk, a friendly man named James came over to talk to me. He earnestly guided me in Japanese about volcanoes, lava, and stars, even if it was just a little bit. At the summit of Mauna Kea, I felt like I might be blown away by the strong winds, but he took a lot of photos for me. I was very satisfied to see many breathtaking views, including a large telescope, lava shaped in various colors, and the sunset. When it got cold, I was able to borrow high-performance cold-weather gear. The hot cocoa was also delicious. Thank you for the amazing experience!

キングカメハメハに宿泊していました。フロントの外のベンチで座っていると、気さくなジェームスさんが声をかけてくれました。少しですが、火山のこと、溶岩のこと、星のこと、日本語で一生懸命ガイドしてくださいました。マウナケアの山頂では強風で吹き飛ばされそうなりながら、たくさん写真を撮ってくださいました。大きな望遠鏡に、多彩な色で形作られた溶岩、夕焼けなど、たくさんの絶景がみられて大満足です。寒くなったら高性能な防寒着を貸し出してもらえました。ホットココアも美味しかったです。最高の体験をありがとうございました。

Une expérience inoubliable.
Une journée belle et fantastique.

Merci

First of all, having staff who could speak Japanese was incredibly helpful. There were several people at the reception, and among them, one person spoke Japanese. Additionally, before boarding the canoe, a Hawaiian explained how to paddle and hold the canoe in broken Japanese, which made it easy to understand and gave me a sense of reassurance.

That aspect was quite significant.

Moreover, the experience was so memorable that it will stay with me for a lifetime. We paddled out a bit from the shore and then returned, and it reminded me of a scene from a Disney movie, like Moana, which made me smile.

It was truly wonderful to have a Hawaiian experience with Diamond Head in the background! I can only express my gratitude to the locals. Thank you!

まず、日本語が話せるスタッフが居た事はすごく助かった。受付には複数人いたが、その中で1人日本語を話せる人がいてさらにカヌー乗船前の説明も漕ぎ方や持ち方などハワイ人が片言日本語で説明してくれてわかりやすくて安心感を覚えました。
その点はかなり大きかったです。
そして、体験の方は一生思い出に残るくらいとてもいい体験ができました。浜から少し沖の方へ出るまでに漕いでまた浜まで戻るのですが、それがまるでディズニー映画に出てたモアナのようなシーンを思い浮かべました笑
ダイヤモンドヘッドを背景にハワイらしい体験ができた事はほんとに良かったです！
現地の人に感謝しかないです。ありがとう。

I was very moved. It was fun to feel a sense of unity with the audience. The intensity was also wonderful, and I can only say it was the best. If you're going to Hawaii, I definitely recommend it.

とても感動しました。観客と一体感が味わえるようで楽しかったです。迫力がも素晴らしいですし最高の一言です。ハワイに行くなら是非オススメです。

I visit Honolulu, Hawaii about three times a year. Every year, I go to this show. Sometimes, the performers change, featuring Michael Jackson and Elvis impersonators. In the past, we could enjoy a meal while watching the show, but since the COVID pandemic, it has changed to a buffet style. I think it's a fun show that truly represents Hawaii, no matter how many times I see it.

年に3回ほどハワイホノルルに行っております。
毎年、こちらのショーは観に行っています。
たまにマイケルジャクソンとプレスリーの方々が変更していますね。
昔はショーを観ながらお食事を楽しめましたが、コロナ渦からビッフェに変更しています。
何度観ても楽しいハワイらしいショーだと思います。

The meeting place was easy to find, and Chris's explanations in both Japanese and English were great. I was especially glad that I signed up for the sunset tour.

集合場所もわかりやすく、担当のクリスさんの説明も日本語と英語で良かったです。特に、サンセットが申込んで良かったです。

This was the 1st Luau we attended. It’s went beyond our expectations. The food was good and the show was fantastic. Ran very smoothly. Very organized. Well worth the price

Unfortunately, the weather on the day was not great, and we couldn't do the planned flight over the volcano, which was disappointing. However, the alternative suggested was a landing plan at the waterfall. When I signed up, I thought it was a bit pricey, so I didn't include the waterfall landing, but adding that option turned out to be a great decision!

The view of the waterfall from above and the experience of landing right next to it are completely different in terms of impact. Walking through the tropical rainforest after descending was refreshing, and it was fascinating to see various fruits along the way. Since we could land in places that only a helicopter can reach, I highly recommend the waterfall landing!

We had the helicopter to ourselves as there were five of us in the family. The seating arrangement is determined by weight, so those who got to sit in the front row or on the ends were lucky.

当日はあいにくのお天気で予定していた火山上空へのフライトは出来ず残念でしたが、代わりに提案いただいたのが滝の着陸プラン。
申し込んだときはちょっとお高いので滝への着陸はつけていなかったのですが、オプション付けて大正解！！
上から見たと滝と着陸して間近に見る滝とでは迫力が全然違うし、滝を降りての熱帯雨林のお散歩は気持ちよく、様々なフルーツも見れてとても興味深かったです。ヘリじゃなくちゃいけないところに着陸できるので、滝の着陸、おススメ！！
家族5人で乗ったので貸しきりでした。
体重などによって乗る場所が決まるので、最前列や両端に載れた人はラッキー。

I made the best memories.
I was able to experience the thin air environment.
The sunset, with nothing to obstruct it and higher than the clouds, was breathtaking‼️
The moon was too bright for stargazing, which was a bit disappointing, but I was thrilled to see so many satellites that I stopped counting them halfway through.

最高の思い出が出来ました。
空気が薄い環境を体感出来ました。
雲より高く何も妨げになるものがない中でのサンセットは感動‼️
月が明る過ぎて星空観察はチャッと残念でしたが、途中で数えるのをやめるくらいの人工衛星を見て感激しました。

As expected from Cirque du Soleil, the performance was impressive and matched the Hawaiian theme perfectly. There were also audience participation elements, which made it very enjoyable.

さすが、シルク・ドゥ・ソレイユという迫力、ハワイのテーマにも合っていて、客席参加のしかけもあり、とても楽しめました。

This time, we were lucky enough to see a mother and baby whale! It seems that whether you can see them depends on the day, so it's a matter of luck. However, we were able to go further out to sea following the whales and saw them spouting water, their tails, and even jumping. The crew members were friendly and chatted with us, making the journey enjoyable as well.

今回は運よく2頭の親子？クジラを見ることができました！やはり見られるかはその日によるそうなので運次第ではありますがクジラを追って沖にどんどんでてくださり潮吹きや尾びれ、ジャンプする姿まで見ることができました。CREWさん達も気さくにお話してくださるので移動中も楽しかったです。

We all boarded the boat while having a great time together, and after about 20 minutes, we took turns paragliding. The captain took care of everything, which made me feel at ease! I was scared before flying, but once I was up in the air, it was incredibly fun, and the view was amazing—the sea was beautiful and it was the best experience!

みんなでワイワイしながら船に乗って移動して、20分くらい経ったら順番にパラセーリングしました。キャプテンの方が全部やってくれたので、安心できました!飛ぶ前は怖かったけど飛んだらもうそれはそれは楽しかったですし景色も素晴らしく海は綺麗で最高でした！

The sunset was very beautiful, with pleasant music and a nice breeze, creating a comfortable atmosphere. However, when it comes to whale watching... We were unable to see any whales here. Therefore, my rating is disappointing.

サンセットは、とても綺麗で雰囲気の良い音楽と気持ちの良い風で、心地よい雰囲気♡
しかし、クジラウォッチングとなると…。
こちらでは、鯨を拝見することは出来ませんでした。
なので、残念な評価になってます。

I participated in this casual and affordable tour off the coast of Waikiki with low expectations. It was a 7:30 AM tour, but when the time came, the staff from Pink Sails Waikiki had not shown up, and there was no sign, which made me anxious. However, since they were Americans, it turned out to just be a delay. The entire tour was conducted in English, but I didn't feel any language barrier in my desire to see whales. Half of the passengers were American, while the rest were from Asia and India, with three groups of Japanese.

As for the whales, they showed themselves about ten times, but where they would surface was a matter of luck. There were many families with children present. The boat was a catamaran, which had less rocking, but it seems that you can get closer to the whales on a smaller boat. Therefore, binoculars are essential. I took photos with a super telephoto lens; I don't think it's possible with a smartphone.

ワイキキ沖の気軽で、格安ツアーなのでダメ元の覚悟で参加しました。朝イチ7:30のツアーでしたが時間になっても主催者のPink Sails Waikiki のスタッフは現れず、看板ひとつ出していないので不安でしたが、相手はアメリカ人、ただの遅刻でした。このツアーは全て英語のみの案内ですが、クジラを観たい気持ちに言葉の壁は感じませんでした。乗客は半分がアメリカ人残りがアジアやインド系、日本人は3組でした。肝心のクジラは10回ほど姿を見せてくれましたが、何処に顔を出すか？は運次第。親子連れが多く現れてました。船は双胴船で揺れが少ないですが、クジラに近寄れるのは小さなボートのようです。したがって双眼鏡が必需品と云えます。写真は超望遠レンズで撮影しました。スマホでは無理だと思います。

There were many courses available, which was great. I used it every day for sightseeing, so it was a good deal. It was especially convenient because I could also ride the pink bus to get to Ala Moana.

コースが沢山あって良かった。観光に毎日利用したのでお得でした。特にピンクバスにも乗れるのでアラモアナ行くには便利です。

It was fun to experience various activities on the vast grounds. There were many different shows to see, and I was able to participate in some experiences as well. The dinner was delicious, and the evening show, which incorporated Polynesian history along with a fire performance, was wonderful.

広大な敷地で色々体験もでき楽しかったです。
いろんなショー見えるし、体験もできました。
ディナーも美味しいし、イブニングショーではポリネシアンの歴史織り込みながら炎のパフォーマンスが素晴らしかった。

It says it starts at five but the activity start maybe an hour earlier but still give yourself some time to go to the waterfall for about three hours and an hour to get ready there

Tour guide was the best so much fun can’t wait to go again

The Jurassic Valley Ranch ATV was a great experience and the staff was knowledgable and very informative. I would highly recommend this tour! Thank for a great time!
