I mentioned this before on the phone. This was fun, but was only able to do one activity. Unfortunately the ad misleads you into thinking you can do whatever activities, whenever. You are allowed to swim, snorkel, bike ride or hike in the morning. Then you can either surf(which you cant cause it will cost you more when you never did it, apparently you have to take a lesson before using their boards), kayak, or stand up paddleboard in the afternoon. It just was a disappointment to have an expectaion of what to get for my day, then not do it. In other words, two spereate locations for the morning and afternoon activities, so majority of your time is traveling. Which is fine, but also would of have a different opinion. Knowing what i know now, i probably would never choosen this activity.
I missed the bus to go to the afternoon location, needless to say i was given the wrong time by tourist, but honsestly by the time i got there, i was out of time. One thing that is odd is the memory game, being dropped off somwhere and being picked up elsewhere. However, the people that works at the snorkel rental place, especially that young kid, clueless to his surroundings. Knew who i was & i who else i was there with in regards of the other party on the tour bus & couldnt inform me of the other party making it back. So knowing the time i had to be picked up, this kid not being observant and missing the bus is all my fault, right? So thanks for that! I had to wait for the city bus to pick me up to find out where the tour bus was to get back on it.
All in all, i only did one activity and did a lot of sitting & waiting around. Snorkeling was fun, but was my excitement was short lived with the turmoil. I had fun snorkeling, and thats about it. Oh yeah, dont worry, ill take care of that bus fare!

The zip line was physically demanding, but it was exciting and fun! The friendliness of the staff and the enjoyable atmosphere were also very good. My whole family said they were glad to participate.
The start was terrible as we waited 30 minutes for the bus. It was stated that if it didn't arrive in 10 minutes, we should call, so I did, but since it was in English, the conversation didn't go well. I called twice. During the second call, I was told to wait another 10 minutes, and after 30 minutes, the bus finally arrived. The voucher said to wait in front of the Ilikai Hotel, but the pickup was in front of the road, not at the entrance. Also, instead of calling me by name, they shouted "Zip line!" and I almost didn't realize it in time, which was scary.
Once we arrived, the staff were very friendly and created a fun atmosphere. With gestures, I could generally understand what they were saying in English!
First, we registered our profiles and consent on a wall-mounted PC screen. We had to leave all our belongings behind and participate with just our bodies. It was mandatory to use the restroom before joining.
We moved around the site in a jeep, and it was fun with the bumpy ride that splashed mud everywhere.
After that, we slid down the zip line, starting with the staff demonstrating how it’s done. Then, two people at a time took turns sliding. Before sliding, the staff communicated via walkie-talkie to inform each other of who was going next. The instructions before sliding were precise, which made me feel safe.
There are two ways to slide: fast and slow, and they provided a briefing on this. We slid down seven lines, doing various styles including upside down.
The course included climbing down with ropes, using arm strength to pull ourselves up, and a suspension bridge. We also had bananas and nuts to eat and could drink water, making it feel like an obstacle course. There were two zip line options in Hawaii, one in Croatia and this one, but we chose this one because it seemed more fun. I think we made the right choice.
While enjoying the zip line, I was impressed by the staff's skill and professionalism.
I believe my whole family enjoyed it. As a gesture of gratitude, I gave a small tip to two staff members I was able to identify during the tour. After finishing, it seems they go on break, so it’s best to give tips right away if you want to.
Thank you very much.
ジップライン、体力使いましたがエキサイティングで楽しかったです!
スタッフさんのフレンドリーさと楽しい雰囲気もとても良かったです。
家族みんな参加して良かったと言っていました。
スタートは最悪でバスを30分待ちました。10分待ってこなかったら電話と記載があったのでかけましたが、英語なので会話が成立しません。2回も電話かけました。2回目に10分待つように言われて、30分待ちで来ましたが、バウチャーはイリカイホテルの玄関前とありましたが、迎えに来たのはホテル前の道路の前で玄関前には来ませんでした。また「●●さん」と名前で呼ばずに、「ジップライン!」と叫ばれてすぐに気が付かず、乗り遅れなくて良かった。怖い・・と思いました。
現地に付いたら、スタッフさんはとてもフレンドリーで楽しい雰囲気で、ゼスチャーもあるのか英語なのに何を言ってらっしゃるのかが大体解りました!
最初にプロフィールと承諾を壁掛けのPC画面で登録します。
持物は全てあずけて身体一つ。必ずトイレをしてから参加です。
ジープで敷地内を移動しますが、泥が飛んでくるくらいグネグネ運転で楽しかったです。
その後ジップラインを滑走しますが、最初まずスタッフさんが滑って見本を見せてくれます。
その後順番に2名ずつ滑走します。滑走前にはスタッフさんがトランシーバーで連絡を取り合い、誰が滑るかを名前を伝えています。滑る前の滑走の手順も正確で安心して滑れました。
滑り方には速く滑る方法と、ゆっくり滑る方法があります。これをレクチャーしてくれます。
7本滑りましたが、逆さになったり、いろんな滑り方をしました。
コースの中には、上から縄で下に降りたり、下から上に腕力を使って自分を引上げたり、吊り橋があったり、途中バナナやナッツも食べたり、水を飲めたりアスレチックのようでした。
ジップラインはハワイでクロアチアと2つあったのですが、こちらの方がコースが楽しそうだったので私達はこちらを選びました。多分正解でした。
ジップラインを楽しむとともに、スタッフさんの滑走の上手さや仕事ぶりが素晴らしく関心してしまいました。
家族みんな楽しめたと思います。感謝の気持ちを込めて、一緒に回ったスタッフさんで発見できたスタッフさん2名にチップを少しお渡ししました。終了すると休憩に入られるみたいで姿がすぐにいらっしゃる場所が解らなくなりますので、渡したい方はすぐに渡したほうが良いです。
ありがとうございました。

We participated as a family of four. Our 12-year-old and 8-year-old sons rode alone as well. In 1 hour and 15 minutes, we enjoyed a magnificent view and were very satisfied. Along the way, there were changes in the path, and there were some thrilling spots too. It became an unforgettable experience.
At the ranch, there were free-range donkeys and wild peacocks, and it was fun to interact with them.
家族四人で参加しました。12才と8才の息子もひとりで乗りました。1時間15分で、雄大な景色の中を周り大満足。途中、道にも変化があり、少しスリルのあるところもありました。一生忘れられない経験になりました。
牧場には、放し飼いのロバや、野生の孔雀がいて、触れ合いが楽しかったです。

I signed up for skydiving in Hawaii at my husband's request, but it costs $53.33 just for a companion to accompany us. I thought it was expensive, but since it's a valuable experience, I went ahead with the booking.
Since we were at it, I also added the video recording option to capture the moment in the air. However, the reservation site stated that we could choose between a photographer or an instructor for the shoot, but in reality, we had no choice. In the end, we were only offered the photographer option, and I ended up paying $178 including tax for that. The skydiving itself was $170, so the video recording ended up being more expensive.
Before purchasing the video, I wasn't allowed to check the footage and had to buy it as instructed.
The tipping amount was also listed on the site as $10 to $20, but we were actually told to pay $20 each. That meant $20 for the instructor, $20 for the photographer, totaling $40, plus $10 for the driver who brought us there.
In total, I ended up paying over $450.
It was a typical case of appearing cheap but charging a lot in the end.
While I was satisfied with the valuable experience itself, I found it unkind that the prices increased once we got there, and it was hard to know the exact costs until we arrived.
Additionally, there was a fully equipped ATM for cash advances from credit cards, with a sign saying, "If you don't have enough money, please use this."
Since the optional tour was prepaid by credit card, many people might not expect to incur such additional costs. I advise anyone planning to participate to keep these points in mind.
Also, even my husband, who is good with rides, felt nauseous during the landing turns and ended up feeling groggy. I recommend taking motion sickness medication.
ハワイでスカイダイビングをしたいとの夫の要望で申し込みましたが、現地に着いていくだけの同行者も53.33ドルかかります。高いなと思いつつも、貴重な体験だしと申し込みました。
せっかくなので、飛んでいる所も残そうとビデオ撮影のオプションもつけましたが、予約時のサイトの記載ではカメラマン撮影かインストラクター撮影か選べるとあったのに、実際は選べませんでした。
結局、カメラマン撮影一択で、税込みで178ドル支払わされました。
飛ぶのが、170ドルだったので、それよりも高いビデオ撮影代になりました。
動画購入前に、VTRのチェックもさせてもらえず、言われるがままに購入。
チップの金額もサイトでは、10ドル~20ドルと記載がありましたが、実際は各自に20ドル払ってくださいと金額を指定されました。
インストラクターに20ドル・カメラマンに20ドルで計40ドル
更に、現地までつれてきてくれたドライバーにも10ドル
なんだかんだで、全部で450ドル以上の支払いになりました。
安く見せといて、高く取られる典型的なパターンでした。
貴重な体験が出来たので、それ自体は満足ですが、現地に行ってから金額が吊り上がり、行ってみないと細かい金額が分からないのは不親切だなと思いました。
あと、「お金が足りない人は、こちらをご使用下さい」と、しっかりクレジットカードからキャッシング出来るATMまで完備されていました。
オプショナルツアー自体は、クレジットでの事前精算なのでお金がそんなに追加でかかると思わない人も多いのでしょうね……
参加予定の人は、以上の点をご注意ください。
あと、乗り物に強い夫でも着陸時の旋回で酔ってグロッキーになっていました。
酔い止めなどは飲まれた方がいいと思います。

I really had no idea of what was in store for my wife and I when I signed up for the Super Ambassador Full Day Package with Private guide at the Polynesian Cultural Center, it turned out to be the best guided tour we could have ever anticipated! The comfortable Motor Coach picked us up promptly at our designated hotel location. The motor coach driver and guide were gracious and told us various facts, pointed out points of interest along the way, and set the tone for the rest of the day that would be spent at the Polynesian Cultural Center.
When we arrived the group was given their designated tickets and soon our guide a student of BYU University and from the Philippines introduced himself. Datz began our tour and skillfully navigated us through each of the Polynesian Islands exhibits granting us front row seats to each show, gave us back stage tours, and overall made this one of the best tours I have ever been on! We were delighted to experience the rich cultural heritages of each island group, ate fantastic food at the Luau, and were fascinated with the finale show "Ha' The Breath of Life".
Two thumbs up WAY up! Would I recommend this Super Ambassador Package with Private Guide? Absolutely!

The hike was one of the highlights of my trip. I loved the river crossings even though the river made all of my clothes really wet and went up to my chest, since I am only 4'11". Keola taught us many Hawaiian words including freshwater, wai, saltwater, Kai, and Life, Keola. He was very knowledgable about the history of the island and the Kamehameha family. The best part was probably talking with our fellow hikers and the small lake where we ate lunch. We will definitely do one of the other tours as well.

I enjoyed a full two-hour ride at locations that were used for filming Jurassic Park and Lost! It was a 45-minute drive from Honolulu by rental car. Our guide, Morgan, was incredibly hospitable and had studied Japanese, so he understood Japanese culture well. We were able to chat a lot during the ride. Even if you can't speak English, he will do his best to listen if you speak slowly. It was such a fun time that when I said things like "fantastic" or "amazing," he responded with a million-dollar smile, saying, "It's my pleasure." There are points where you can take photos, but be careful not to drop your camera, so I recommend using a lanyard that you can hang around your neck if you're a beginner. I also suggest wearing long pants to protect your legs and a waterproof outdoor jacket.
JURASSIC PARKやLOSTなどの撮影ロケーションともなった場所をたっぷり2時間ライドしました!ホノルルからレンタカーで45分でした。丁寧なガイドのホスピタリティ溢れるMorganは、日本語を勉強したことがあり、日本の文化にも理解があって、ライドしながらたくさんおしゃべりもできました。英語ができなくてもゆっくり話せば頑張って聞いてくれます。すごく楽しい時間だったので「ファンタスティック」とか「アメージング」と話しかけると、「It's my pleasure(喜んでもらえると嬉しい)」と100万ドルの笑顔でした。写真を撮ってくれるポイントもあるのですが、落とすと大変なので、初心者はカメラを首から下げるタイプのランヤードなどで持っていくといいと思います。足を保護する長ズボンと、Waterproofのアウトドアジャケットの着用をお薦めします。

It was beautiful, fun, exhaustive, but very commercial. I truly wanted to know more about the history of the first Hawaiian, but I was let down on that expectation. The dancers, the show at the end, the luau, the many islands with their respective activities were very interresting and beautiful, though. It's worth it, but dont expect it to replace the viewing of a good documentary. Also, the fact that this olace is ran by Mormons is extremely apparent through many not so subtle references in history plaques, or the simple fact that there was no alcool at the Luau. Still a solid activity, and it was worth it. We had the full day package (110, I think).

It was an early morning tour, and I was really worried that the water would be cold, but surprisingly, once I got in, it wasn't that cold at all. From the moment I saw the sharks, I was completely captivated (laughs). However, the boat was really rocky, so snorkeling didn't make much sense (laughs). I took motion sickness medicine, so I didn't feel seasick at all, and when we boarded, no one felt unwell. I was satisfied with the number of sharks we saw! However, because of the rocking, I couldn't take very nice photos~ ★ It’s expensive, but buying the DVD might be a good idea~. We did (laughs).

The pickup on the day was on time, and while watching a skydiving explanation video in the car, I signed the consent form. After about an hour, we arrived at Pacific Skydiving Center, where I chose options for video and photo shoots, and was introduced to my instructor and the cameraman. My instructor was Mark and the cameraman was Clint. Both were very cheerful, and their explanations about the jumping posture were really enjoyable. Thanks to their jokes and cheerful demeanor, my nerves were greatly eased.
After reaching the desired altitude in the Cessna, without any time to be scared, I was quickly thrown into the air at the signal of "3, 2, 1."
There was no feeling of floating, just a strong wind!
After about a minute of free fall, the parachute deployed. The view from there was truly breathtaking. Along the way, Mark taught me how to operate the parachute, and being able to drift through the sky on my own was a wonderful memory. The landing was a butt-slide landing, and my backside ended up muddy!
Finally, we checked the photos, and I really felt it was worth asking for the shoot. The beautiful photos, the incredible funny faces—though it wasn't cheap, I’m really glad I requested it.
From what I saw of others, all the instructors and cameramen seemed cheerful and were having a lot of fun! It was truly a valuable experience! I definitely want to do it again!!!

I signed up with the assumption that I could ride horses by the beach at North Shore and run them along the shoreline, but that was a naive thought. The trail goes by the coast, but it doesn't reach the ocean. The course is overgrown with tall grass, and the view isn't very good. The horses are well accustomed to people, and even when there were loud noises (like gunshots?), they didn't get agitated. I think this is suitable for beginners.
ノースショアの海辺で乗馬ができる、波打ち際で馬を走らせる事ができるとの勝手な思い込みで申し込みをしましたが甘い考えでした。海岸の側は通りますが海には行きません。コースに背の高い草が茂っており、眺めも余り良くないです。馬は良く人に慣れており、途中大きな音(拳銃の発射音?)がしても暴れることも無かったです。初心者向きの乗馬かなと思います。

Our original driver lost his wallet so could not drive us. We had to wait close to an hour to get a new driver. This combined with heavy traffic due to a Christmas parade resulted in our tour being significantly delayed and feeling somewhat rushed as we tried to save time at each stop. Our second driver was very knowledgeable and gave us an excellent running commentary as we toured. We did skip a couple of stops/activities due to the delays, but we're not offered any type of compensation. While this is a highly recommended tour company that provided the service, I find it disappointing they did nothing to make up for their issues.

Since we were going anyway, my wife insisted that we try horseback riding! Initially, I had planned to do a zipline experience that I saw on TV, but horseback riding seemed to be quite popular, and we couldn't secure a time that worked for us (I received numerous cancellation emails from VELTRA…). So, we decided to focus solely on horseback riding.
However, since horseback riding alone does not come as a package, there was no shuttle service from Waikiki. We chose to take a bus (The Bus) from Waikiki to Ala Moana for the transfer. The transfer at the bus stop south of Ala Moana Center was straightforward, but the only downside was that after a long ride in an air-conditioned bus, I needed to use the restroom frequently.
We got off at the bus stop in front of Kualoa Ranch and headed straight to the building in front of us. After passing through the shop, we found the entrance to the attraction at the back. We exchanged our voucher for tickets at the ticket booth and went to the horseback riding building at the designated time.
A staff member guided us to sign a waiver. After that, we watched a DVD explaining the horseback riding experience. It seemed that there were several languages available, but they made sure to play the Japanese version for us.
Once the group was assembled, the horses were brought out, and we were guided in order. Despite it being a weekday, there were quite a few people (around 16), and it took just under 30 minutes from the explanation until everyone was mounted. This shows how popular it is.
Finally, we began the horseback riding. We rode for about 45 minutes on paths that included muddy areas and paved roads. There were various things to keep in mind, like needing to ride in a single file, ensuring the horses didn't eat grass, and maintaining balance, but the views of the sea and mountains while riding were absolutely beautiful.
In a highland horseback riding experience, you only get to enjoy the mountain scenery, but here you can enjoy both the mountains and the sea. The one-hour course (which was actually about 45 minutes) flew by. I would love to go riding again if I have the chance. Next time, I definitely want to try the two-hour course…
せっかく行くからには乗馬体験したい!との妻の一言から決まりました。最初はテレビで見たジップラインとのセットを目論んでいたのですが、乗馬はなかなか人気らしく、思うような時間が取れませんでした(何度VELTRAさんからのキャンセルメールが届いたことか…)。それで、乗馬一本に絞っていくことに方針変更。
がしかし、乗馬だけの場合パッケージ扱いとならないので、ワイキキからの送迎がありません。私たちはワイキキからアラモアナ乗り換えのバス(The Bus)というコースを選択しました。乗り換えはアラモアナセンター南のバス停で特に問題ないのですが、長時間冷房のきいたバスに乗ったため、トイレが近くなったのが唯一の難点でした。
クアロア牧場前のバス停で降り、まっすぐ正面の建物へ。売店を通り抜けると奥にアトラクションの入り口があります。チケットブースでバウチャーとチケットを引き換え、指定の時間に乗馬の建物へ行きます。
係りの女性から承諾書に署名するよう案内があります。その後DVDで乗馬に当たっての説明を見ます。日本語のほかにも何ヶ国語かあるようですが、ちゃんと日本語を流してくださいました。
組がそろったら馬が連れてこられ、順番に案内されます。が、平日にもかかわらず人数が多く(16人ほどいたような)、説明から皆が乗り終わるまで30分弱を要しました。人気の高さが伺えます。
その後いよいよ乗馬開始。ぬかるみもある道やコンクリ舗装の道などを約45分ほど馬にのって歩きます。一列に進めないといけないとか、馬が草を食べたりしないようにとか、バランスをとらなくちゃとか、いろいろ気にするところはありますが、馬に乗りながら見る海や山の景色はとてもきれいです。
高原の乗馬体験とかだと山の景色だけですが、こちらでは山も海も両方楽しめます。1時間コース(実質45分ほど)ですがあっという間に過ぎていきました。また機会があれば乗りに行きたいです。次回はぜひ2時間コースで…。

I had the opportunity to experience skydiving with a friend, something I had wanted to try at least once in my life. Both my friend and I are really bad with thrill rides, to the point where there are hardly any rides we can go on at amusement parks... haha. However, after hearing various opinions from TV shows and personal experiences, such as how skydiving is completely different and can change your perspective, we thought maybe we would like to try it at least once, so we decided to participate this time.
The staff and the instructor who tandem jumped with us were all great people! They really helped me relax and eased my nerves. Once we boarded the plane and ascended, the scenery became incredibly beautiful, and I could see the curvature of the Earth.
When it was our turn to jump, my friend went first, and I was second, which heightened my tension. The moment I saw my friend disappear in front of me, I realized I was screaming. Haha. When it was my turn, the instructor guided me from behind, and in no time, we were jumping.
For me, skydiving was even scarier than thrill rides, and at that moment, I thought to myself, "Those who said skydiving is completely different are lying!" Haha. After the parachute opened, I started to calm down, but honestly, I was scared to my core. Haha.
When I reunited with my friend after landing, she was so excited and said she wanted to do it again because it was so much fun! Even though we can't handle thrill rides, it seems this experience is different for everyone!
My friend and I bought a photo as a keepsake. (You can check the photos on the computers in the store.) On the shuttle bus back, we were so exhausted that we fell asleep immediately.
When we got to the hotel, I realized I had forgotten my hat inside the store and thought about giving up on it. However, I found the Japanese website and emailed them, and they delivered it to the hotel front desk the next evening. I was so happy and grateful because it was my favorite hat.
If anyone is interested in skydiving in Hawaii and looking for a place, I highly recommend this one!
一生に一回はやってみたかったスカイダイビングを友人とこちらで体験させて頂きました。
私も友人も絶叫系が凄く苦手で遊園地に行っても、乗れる乗り物がほとんど無いほど‥笑
ですが、テレビや体験談などを聞いていると、そんな方でもスカイダイビングは全然違う!とか世界観が変わる!など様々な意見を聞き、これなら私達も一度はやってみたいかもと思い今回参加させて頂きました。
スタッフや一緒にタンデムしていただいたインストラクターの方もいい人ばかり!
緊張していた私に凄くリラックスさせて和ませてくれました。
そして、飛行機に乗り込み、上昇してくにつれ景色が凄く綺麗で、地球が丸いのが一望できました。
飛ぶ番がきて、友人が1番、私が2番目で一気に緊張が高まります。
私は友人が目の前から消えた瞬間に気付けば悲鳴をあげてました。笑
私の番になるとインストラクターの方が私を後ろから誘導しあっという間に飛んでしまいました。
私の場合、絶叫系乗り物を上回るくらいスカイダイビングも怖くて、スカイダイビングは全然違うと言っていた方達を心の底から嘘つきーー!と飛んだ瞬間思いました。笑
パラシュートが開いてからは気持ちも落ち着いてきましたが、正直な感想、心の底から怖かったです。笑
降りて友人と合流した際、友人はもう一回乗りたい位楽しかった!とテンションが凄く高くなっていました。
絶叫系が乗れない2人ですが、こればかりはやっぱり人それぞれなんですね!
私と友人は記念に写真を、購入しました。(※店内のパソコンにて写真をチェックできます。)
帰りの送迎バスの中ではどっと疲れて熟睡してしまいました。
ホテルについて帽子を店内に忘れた事に気付き、諦めようと思いましたが、日本語サイトのホームページを発見し、メールをしたところ、次の日の夕方にホテルのフロントに届けて下さりました。凄くお気に入りの帽子だったので嬉しくてとても感謝しています。
もしハワイでスカイダイビングに興味があり、どこかお探しの方がいらしたら、ここをオススメします!
