During this family trip, the kids said they had the most fun. At 10 and 8 years old, it was their first time surfing, and they received great support, managing to stand on the surfboard, which thrilled them! They are saying they want to surf again! Thank you very much!
今回の家族旅行で子供達が一番楽しかったと言っております。10才、8才で初サーフィンでしたがしっかりサポートして頂き、サーフボードに立てて感激しておりました~またサーフィンしたいっ!とチビ達が言っております。ありがとうございました!

This year, it seemed like there were more windy days than usual in Hawaii, but fortunately, on the day of the event, it was calm from early morning. I participated with my family of five (myself, my wife, our 8-year-old and 3-year-old children, and my mother) while rubbing our sleepy eyes. Only my wife had experience with parasailing, so I was a bit nervous about what to expect at first, but the staff's kind assistance and humor eased our nerves, and before we knew it, it was our turn to soar into the sky. The view of Honolulu and Diamond Head from high above the ocean was stunning and left a strong impression on me. We were also able to have photos taken while parasailing, which we purchased as a keepsake. My mother, who is 63 this year, was particularly happy, saying, "This became a wonderful memory, my first and last." However, she mentioned that her shoulder hurt the next day, as it seemed she had gripped the parasailing rope tightly with all her strength. I also hope that when the kids grow up, we can participate in a higher altitude experience rather than the standard one.
今年はハワイはいつもより風の強い日が多いような気がしましたが、参加当日は幸いにも早朝から穏やかで眠い目をこすりながらファミリー5人(私、妻、子供8歳、3歳、母)で参加しました。パラセールに参加した経験があるのは妻だけでしたので初めはどんなことになるだろうか緊張をしていましたが、スタッフの方の親切な対応とユーモアで和み自分達の順番まであっという間になり風を切って大空へ舞い上がりました。海上高くから見たホノルルの町並みとダイアモンドヘッドの眺めは素晴らしく印象に強く残りました。また、パラセイルをしている写真を撮ってもらえるので記念に購入をしました。特に母は今年63歳であり「最初で最期のいい思い出になった」と喜んでいました。しかし、次の日に肩が痛いということであり緊張してパラソロのロープを渾身の力で握り締めていたようです。また、子供達が大きくなったらスタンダードではなくもっと上空高くあがれる方に参加したいと思います。

We experienced parasailing for the first time as a family of four, with a standard course of about 150 meters, which was more than enough for beginners. My wife and our two children (ages 6 and 9) loved it; it was thrilling, refreshing, and offered a fantastic view of Waikiki from above. I highly recommend this tour. The kids were so excited, saying they wanted to do it again and would definitely participate next time! Seeing their joy made me promise the whole family that we would join again. In our case, we were picked up around 10:30, took turns boarding the boat, and each group experienced about 15 minutes. Our family went up together into the bright blue sky, and we were dropped off at the hotel around 12:30.
I definitely encourage you to give it a try!
少し風があるなか、家族4人で初のパラセイルを体験しました。スタンダードコースの約150Mでしたが初心者には充分でした。妻・子供2人(6歳と9歳)とも大好評で、スリル満点・全身に受ける爽快感・空から眺めるワイキキの街、絶対にお勧めのツアーでした。子供たちは、もっとやりたい、絶対にまた来たとき時にはやる~!など、こんなに喜んでいる様子を見ていると、また必ず参加することを家族みんなに約束しました。私たちの場合、10時半ごろピックアップしてもらい、順番にボートに乗り込み、各組約15分程度体験し。私たち家族は4人一緒に真っ青な空へ・・・・ホテルに送り届けてくれたのが約12時半ごろでした。
ぜひ、参加してみてはいかがでしょうか。

The instructor allows us to try multiple times, so if you have motivation and concentration, everyone will be able to stand on the surfboard. Surfing is a full-body workout, and I really felt the effects of my usual lack of exercise, as I got very tired in the second half. When I got too tired to paddle, the instructor would pull me to the wave point, so it was okay even if I was exhausted.
The price feels a bit high, but considering it's Honolulu, it's about what you'd expect.
I got lost in Honolulu because the directions to the meeting place written on the voucher were incorrect, and I ended up being about 15 minutes late. I realized the importance of not relying too much on the voucher and checking the meeting place on a map.
先生は何度もtryさせてくれるので、やる気と集中力があれば、皆サーフボードの上に立てるようになるでしょう。サーフィンは体全部を使う運動だったので、日ごろの運動不足がたたって、後半すごく疲れてしまいました。疲れてパドリング(手で漕いでの移動)できなくなると、先生が波のポイントまで引っ張って行ってくれるので疲れても大丈夫です。
ちょっと値段は高い気がしますが、ホノルル値段と思えば、まあこんなもんでしょう。
バウチャーに書いてあった集合場所への行き方が間違っていたので、ホノルルで迷子になって、15分程度集合時間に遅れてしまいました。バウチャーを過信せず、地図で集合場所を確認する必要があることを痛感しました。

My parents participated. Since they didn't even bring swimsuits to Hawaii, they were very satisfied to see sea turtles, sharks, and tropical fish up close without getting wet. They were quite excited when they returned. I'm glad we chose this tour. It seems they saw more fish than I did while diving, which is a bit frustrating for me...
両親が参加しました。ハワイに水着すら持ってこない両親なので、濡れずに、海亀やサメやトロピカルフィッシュを間近で沢山見れて、大変満足していました。戻って来た時はかなり興奮していました。このツアーを選んで良かったと思います。私がダイビングで見たよりも沢山の魚を見たようなので、悔しいですが・・・。

Joining was definitely the right choice! First of all, we were blessed with great weather and sea conditions. The visibility was excellent♪ We saw turtles, unique Hawaiian fish, and corals… The guide was also very good at explaining things, making it feel like a perfect opportunity for my son's science project.
If I had to mention something, it doesn't matter what order you board the boat to the submarine, but if you board the submarine last, you'll get to sit in the front row facing the direction of travel… you can really feel like a pilot☆

I boarded a 48-passenger submarine. I took the blue shuttle from the hotel to the ferry dock in front of Hilton Hawaiian Village. At the dock, we took a group photo (which is later sold for $20). Once on the ferry, we arrived at the diving point off Waikiki, where the submarine surfaced with white bubbles.
Holding onto the handrails tightly, I boarded the submarine. As I took my seat and peered through the round window, I was greeted by a large school of jackfish. The pamphlet mentioned that there would be an English guide, but perhaps because there were many Japanese guests, we had a Japanese guide instead. As we descended, colorful fish swam around the reef in abundance. At the shipwreck point, we spotted a sea turtle. To top it off, we encountered a group from a diving tour. It felt just like being in a dragon palace. Time flew by in an instant. On the return shuttle, since we could choose our destination, I got off at Ala Moana Shopping Center to do some shopping. It was a very satisfying day.
48人乗りの潜水艦に乗りました。
ホテルからブルーの送迎シャトルに乗り込み、ヒルトン・ハワイアン・ビレッジ前の連絡船桟橋へ。桟橋でグループごとの記念撮影(後で$20で売ってる)。連絡船に乗りワイキキ沖の潜水ポイントにつくと、白い泡と共に潜水艦が浮上してくる。
手すりにしっかりと捕まりながら乗船。席に着き丸い窓から海中を覗くと鰺の大群に出迎えられる。パンフでは、英語ガイドの時間帯だったけど、日本人が多いためか日本語ガイドだ。潜航していくと魚礁の周りには色鮮やかな魚たちがこれでもかというほど泳いでる。沈船のポイントでは、ウミガメ登場。おまけにダイビングツアーのご一行とも遭遇。まるで竜宮城気分。あっという間に時が過ぎてしまった。帰りのシャトルでは、目的地が選べたのでアラモアナ・ショッピングセンターで降りてお買い物。大満足の1日です。

It was amazing! We decided to go for the extreme ride with the mindset of going higher. I wouldn't recommend it for those with a fear of heights, but if you're okay with it, the extreme option is definitely the way to go! They took us up so high that we were at the same level or even above the top of Diamond Head. It was just the best. But when I looked down, the boats looked like tiny dots. I was a bit scared, but I'm glad I did it. I really felt like a bird, and I think it's very romantic for couples.
The boat ride was also fun, and the staff took lots of pictures, so it became a great memory. It's close to Waikiki, so I highly recommend it!
最高でした! どうせなら高く行こうというノリでエキストリームライドで。 高度恐怖症の方にはお勧めできませんが、全然大丈夫な方は絶対エキストリームがいいです! どこまで行くのってくらい飛ばしてくれました。 ダイアモンドヘッドの頂上と目の高さが一緒かそれより上に行った時は、も~最高。 でも下を見たらボートが豆粒の大きさ。 チョッとビビッたけど、やって良かったです。 本当に鳥になった気分で、カップルにはとてもロマンチックでいいと思いますよ~。
ボートライドも面白かったですし、スタッフの方がたくさん写真を撮ってくれたのでいい思い出になりました。 ワイキキにも近いし、お勧めですよ~!

I made a reservation for the 9 AM tour and boarded a dedicated trolley at the bus stop in front of the hotel to head to the dock at Hilton Hawaiian Village. Once on the shuttle boat to the submarine, it was quite rocky, possibly due to the waves. After about 10 minutes, we arrived at the offshore submarine docking point, and passengers were divided among three submarines. Since we couldn't board each submarine directly, those boarding the third submarine had to wait nearly 30 minutes after leaving the port. On the way back, it was the reverse; passengers from the first submarine had to stay on the shuttle boat until the other two submarines surfaced and picked up their passengers, so it took longer than expected. Additionally, the shuttle boat swayed much more once we were offshore compared to when we were in the harbor, so those prone to seasickness should definitely take motion sickness medication. While I've mentioned some downsides, the experience after boarding the submarine and diving was absolutely amazing. The world visible through the windows was unlike anything I had ever seen, and even I, who usually hardly takes photos, found myself continuously pressing the shutter. Furthermore, the guide on my submarine provided explanations in Japanese, filled with jokes and lessons about the ocean, making the time fly by. While there is a risk of seasickness, I believe the rewards far outweigh it. I highly recommend it!!
朝9時の回を予約し、ホテル前のバス停で専用トロリーに乗り込みヒルトンハワイアンビレッジの船着き場へ向かいました。潜水艦へのシャトルボートに乗り込むと波があるせいか結構揺れました。10分ほどで沖合の潜水艦停泊ポイントに到着し、乗客は3隻の潜水艦に分かれて乗り込むのですが、それぞれの潜水艦に横付けしないと乗り込めないため、3隻めの潜水艦に乗る人は港を出てから30分近くかかってします。帰りはその逆で1隻めの潜水艦の乗客は残り2隻が浮上してそれらの乗客をピックアップするまでシャトルボートに乗っていなければならないので、思ったよりは時間がかかります。またシャトルボートは沖合に出たら港にいるときと比べ物にならないくらいに揺れるので船酔いしやすい人は酔い止め薬が必須でしょう。と、マイナス面ばかり書きましたが、潜水艦に乗り込んで潜行してからはすばらしい体験の連続です。窓から見える世界はこれまでに見たことのないもので、普段ほとんど写真を撮らない私ですらひっきりなしにシャッターを押してしまうほどでした。また、私の乗った潜水艦はガイドさんが日本語でいろいろと説明してくれて、ジョークあり海についてのお勉強ありで、とにかくあっという間に時間が過ぎました。船酔いというリスクはありますが、それを補って余りあるリターンがあると思います。絶対おすすめです!!

I participated in the Atlantis Premium Submarine Tour. This tour is different from scuba diving, as you can enjoy a diving experience safely and easily. You take a boat to the submarine that is anchored offshore, but it can be a bit rocky on the way, so those who are prone to motion sickness might want to take some medication beforehand. It's really great for families and couples!
アトランティスプレミアムサブマリンツアーに参加しました。
このツアーはスキューバーダイビングと異なり、安全に気軽に潜水ツアーを楽しめます。
沖に停泊している潜水艦までは船で行くのですが、そこに行くまでは揺れるため、弱い人は酔い止めを飲んでいった方がよさそうです。
ファミリーやカップルには本当によいですよ~!

We opted for a submarine tour since our parents couldn't dive. We were able to see many beautiful fish, which was very soothing. However, just watching and the fact that there were many of the same fish left us with the impression that it wouldn't hold our attention for a long time.
ダイビングができない親たちのために、潜水艦ツアーにしました。きれいな魚たちを沢山みることができて癒されました。でも、見ているだけなことと、同じ魚が多いということで、長い時間はもたないな、という印象です。

I thought I would want to ride a yacht when I saw the blue ocean in Hawaii, so I made a reservation in advance. I told my companions that being in the sun would quickly alleviate any jet lag, using it as an excuse to choose this activity on the first day. The deep blue of the ocean, the refreshing breeze, and the strong sun were beautiful even in the evening. What surprised me was that the majority of the passengers were Americans, or rather, white people. They were lively and cheerful, which lifted my spirits and made me feel very happy. I had planned to enjoy the sunset while relaxing. Well, this is part of the journey. By the way, the check-in was on the sandy beach of Waikiki, which was somewhat confusing, and I felt a bit anxious about whether I was in the right place. Also, having to go barefoot was different from a regular cruise. Since it was a small boat, there was a toilet, but it was almost like there wasn't one. I wouldn't say I'm a boat enthusiast, but you won't find a yacht with such high cost performance anywhere else.
ハワイの青い海を見たらヨットに乗りたくなるだろうなと思っていたので事前に予約しておきました。太陽に当たれば時差ぼけもすぐに解消すると同行者に言ってこのアクティビティを初日に選ぶ口実にしました。期待通りの海の藍さと風の爽快さ、強い太陽も夕方だから綺麗。予想と違ったのは、アメリカ人というか白人が乗客の大半だったこと。ワイワイがやがやと明るいこと、明るいこと、気持ちが高ぶってとても楽しい気分になりました。予定は、夕陽を見ながらたそがれようかと思っていたのでした。まあ、これも旅か。そうそう、ワイキキビーチの砂浜でチェックインなのでなんとなくわかりにくく、これでいいのかと少々不安だったことと、裸足にならないといけないことが普通のクルーズと違うことでしょうか。小さな船だからトイレはあるけどないようなもんかな。船好きだからというわけではないけれど、こんなにコストパフォーマンスが高いヨットもないですよ。

I participated with my boyfriend. I was a complete beginner, but he was experienced, so we borrowed a regular longboard (since the waves were small, a shortboard wouldn’t work) and he was riding the waves freely. Some people mentioned the photos, but they put all the pictures from everyone who took the lesson at the same time onto one CD-R for $25, so I thought it wasn't too expensive for the two of us. Especially since there aren't many opportunities to get photos of riding the waves, I was satisfied with how beautifully they were taken with a telephoto lens. However, it seems that the coach was aiming to capture the moment when he pushed the board to ride the wave, so my boyfriend didn’t appear in many of the photos, which was a bit disappointing for him. If you participate in a similar situation, I recommend asking in advance to make sure you get photographed!
彼氏と二人で参加しました。私はまったくの初心者でしたが、彼は経験者なので普通のロングボード(波が小さくショートボードでは乗れないとのこと)を貸してもらって、自由に波に乗っていました。写真について書き込みされている方もいましたが、同じ時間にレッスンを受けた全員分を1枚のCD-Rにいれてくれて25ドルなので、二人で1枚と思えばそんなに高くはないと思いました。特に、波に乗っている写真はなかなか撮れる機会がないので、望遠レンズできれいにとってもらえて満足です。ただ、写真はコーチがボードを押して波に乗せる瞬間を狙ってとっているようです。なので、彼はほとんど写真に写してもらえず残念だったみたいです。同じような状況で参加されるときは、事前に写真に写してね、と頼んでみてはいかがでしょうか?

Since I was in Hawaii, I thought I would try surfing. I didn't really know much about boards, so I wasn't expecting to stand up right away, but I managed to do it early on. I got a strange desire and thought, "I might get hooked on this!" I believe that the beginning is crucial for anything, so I felt that it would be good to grasp the basics and the feeling in a setting like this to level up. The staff members were kind, friendly, and worked hard, which made me feel at ease. It was fun, and the time flew by, but it was a very fulfilling two hours.

This time, I participated in the sunset cruise. I have been on various boats in the past, but the best part of this cruise was how close we were to the sea! You can really feel the surface of the water and the waves right there. The boat has seats, but at the front, there’s just a sturdy net stretched out, and you can see the water below you from there, allowing you to sit directly on it. At first, it’s a bit scary, but once you get used to it, it feels really nice, and I highly recommend it. However, be careful if you sit at the very front, as you might get splashed by the waves (^^).
I usually get seasick, but I didn’t feel any motion sickness at all on this open, breezy cruise.
For those who will participate in the future, here’s some information:
- You board the boat directly from the sandy beach, so your feet will get wet. It’s better to wear shoes that you don’t mind getting wet.
- It can be hot when the sun is out, but it gets chilly on the way back. I think it’s a good idea to bring a long-sleeve shirt.
- On the way back, there’s a place to wash your feet before entering the hotel from the beach. Having a towel is convenient.
- As for the restroom... it takes some courage to use it. The restroom door is a bit see-through, so I think it’s better for women to assume there isn’t one.
- Alcohol is served, so you’ll be asked to show something that proves your age before boarding. It might be handy to bring a copy of your passport.
今回はサンセットクルーズの方に参加しました。
クルーズは、過去にも大小とりどりの船に乗ったことがありますが、このクルーズでの一番のよかったところは「海が近い!」。海面と波がすぐそこに感じられます。船にはいすはありますが、前の方には、床というか底というか、丈夫な網が張られただけで、見下ろすと海面が見える場所があり、そこに直接座れるようになっています。最初は怖いですが、これが慣れるとかなり気持ちがよく、お薦めです。但し、本当に前の方に座ると、波を直接浴びることもありますのでご用心ください(^^)。
私は、船には弱い方ですが、この開放感あふれ、風が気持ちのよいクルーズでは全く船酔いしませんでした。
今後参加される方のための情報として、
・船に乗るのは砂浜から直接乗りますので、足が水につかります。
ぬれてもいい靴を履いていった方がいいです。
・日が出ているときは暑いですが、帰りは冷えます。長袖は持参した方がいいと思います。
・帰り、浜辺からホテルの中に入る際に、足を洗う場所があります。タオル1枚あると便利です。
・トイレ。。。ここに入るには勇気がいります。トイレのドアは少々透けていますので、女性の方はトイレはないものと思っていた方がいいと思います。
・アルコールが出るので、乗船前に年齢がわかるものを見せるよう言われます。
パスポートのコピーとか持っていくと、便利かもしれません。

Yesterday, I had my first experience sailing. I wanted to write about it while the excitement was still fresh.
First, I handed my voucher to the blonde lady at the reception and checked in smoothly. This lady was quite beautiful, I must say. Since we were departing from the beach, beach sandals are better than regular shoes. By the way, I made the mistake of wearing regular shoes... (^。^;) I heard there were 48 participants today, and I thought, "Wait, can 48 people fit on this?" But surprisingly, there was plenty of room, and it felt like we could still fit more.
The instructor was very energetic, and with some drinks involved, the atmosphere was really lively. It's amazing how the boat moves just with the wind. Seeing Oahu from the sea is not bad at all, especially with the nice breeze.
It seems like not many Japanese people know about this, but it's a hidden gem. If you're looking for a place without many Japanese people, this is definitely an option. Of course, I think you can still have a great time even if there are Japanese people around.
Also, I really want you to try the restroom! The restroom is truly amazing. You'll understand once you go in.
The price is really reasonable, and I highly recommend it!

I participated in a sunset sailing tour. It was my first time on a yacht tour in Hawaii, and it felt absolutely amazing. First, I arrived at the Outrigger Beach Hotel and checked in, which simply involved going to the far end of the hotel beach and handing my voucher to the lady sitting in front of the yacht. Since I arrived early, I relaxed on the beach while waiting. At first, there was no one else around, but as the departure time approached, people started to gather. I think there were about 40 people, but there were no other Japanese besides us. It seems that while dinner cruises are popular among Japanese people, casual sailing like this is still not widely known. Until I found this tour through Alan, I had no idea such a tour existed.
It seemed that we used the engine to get out to sea, but once we were offshore, there was a good breeze, and we enjoyed sailing purely with the natural wind without using the engine at all. The color of the sea was a deep marine blue, quite different from the beach (is it called grand blue?). It was a bit chilly, but the feeling of cutting through the wind and waves was incredibly pleasant. I felt a little tipsy from the cocktails, surrounded by a lively group of cheerful Americans, a couple who were just gazing at each other without looking at the beautiful scenery or sunset from the beginning to the end of the sailing, and a cool crew member. It was the best moment spent with the sunset sinking into the Hawaiian sea.
サンセットセーリングに参加しました。ハワイでヨット型のツアー初参加でしたが、最高に気持ち良かったです。まず、アウトリガービーチホテルに着きチェックイン、と言っても、ホテルの一番奥のビーチに行き、ヨットの前に座っているお姉さんにバウチャーを渡しただけ。早めに着いたのでビーチでのんびり待っていると、最初は他には誰もいなかったのですが、出発の時間が近づくと、ぞくぞくと人が集まりました。40人はいたと思いますが、私たち以外に日本人はいませんでした。どうやら、日本人の間では、ディナークルーズはメジャーなようですが、こういうカジュアルなセーリングはまだまだ知られていないようです。私も今回アランさんでこのツアーを見つけるまで、こんなツアーがあるとは知りませんでした。
ビーチから沖に出るまではエンジンを使っていたようですが、沖に出ると、ビーチとはうってかわって十分な風が吹いていて、全くエンジンを使わず自然の風によるセーリングが楽しめました。海の色はビーチとは違う深いマリンブルー(グランブルーというのでしょうか)。少し肌寒かったですが、風と波をきる感触は最高に気持ち良かったです。カクテルで少しほろ酔い気分になり、ノリノリの陽気なアメリカ人グループ、映画のワンシーンのようにセーリングの最初から最後まで景色も夕陽も全く見ず、ただ見つめあっているだけのカップル、かっこいいクルーのお兄さん、そして、ハワイの海に沈んでいく夕陽とともに過ごした最高のひと時でした。

On March 26, I participated with my family of six. The pickup was in front of the hotel, and our guide was very interesting, which made the trip to the boarding area enjoyable. The shuttle boat did sway a bit, but I had taken motion sickness medication after reading the reviews here, so I was fine.
The weather in Hawaii had been bad lately, and it was raining heavily on the day of our participation. However, the staff on the boat said, "Today is actually a good day for visibility," which raised our expectations as we boarded. Once we submerged in the ocean, we didn't feel any swaying at all. As we visited several artificial reefs created by Atlantis, we saw many rare fish, and both the children and adults were glued to the windows. It was also nice that the pamphlet we received at the beginning had simple explanations of those fish. The submarine had commentary in Japanese, with lively descriptions like, "We saw a stingray that is rarely seen," and "Look, look, a turtle is sleeping," which made it very enjoyable.
Since it was raining quite a bit, our family did not go to Ala Moana and were taken directly back to the hotel. The bus driver (a woman) on the way back was also very pleasant, which made us feel good. Even though we participated in the free children's program, the kids received tickets and pamphlets, and their seats were well secured, so I felt it was a good decision to book with Alan.
3/26に家族6人で参加しました。
ピックアップはホテルの前で、話がとてもおもしろいガイドさんだったので、楽しい気持ちで乗船所まで向かいました。送迎用の船は、やはり少し揺れたのですが、事前にここの書き込みをみて酔い止めを飲んでいったので大丈夫でした。
このところのハワイはずっと天気が悪い、ということで参加日も大変な雨だったのですが、潜水艦に行くまでの船のスタッフの方が「今日はよく見えるほうですよ」とおっしゃったので期待して乗り込みました。
海にもぐってしまうと揺れはまったく感じず、アトランティス社による人口漁礁を何箇所かまわるたびに、めずらしい魚がたくさん見られて、子どもも大人も窓の外に釘付けでした。最初にいただいたパンフレットにそれらの魚の解説が簡単にでていたのもよかったです。潜水艦は日本語の解説で、「めったにみられないエイがいましたね」とか「ほらほら、カメが眠っていますよ」などと臨場感たっぷりの説明だったので、とても楽しめました。
雨が結構降っていたので私たち家族はアラモアナのほうへは行かず直接ホテルへ送っていただいたのですが、帰りのバスの運転手さん(女性でした)もとても感じがよくて気持ちがよかったです。
子ども無料プログラムで参加させていただいたにもかかわらず子どももチケットやパンフレットをちゃんともらい、席もしっかり確保していただいていましたので、アランさんで予約してよかったと思います。

I boarded a 48-person submarine at 10 AM on March 25 (Saturday). There were five participants, including two girls aged 4 and 7. Since this is a rare experience, I decided to participate from the very beginning of the planning. It was really great, and time flew by. This tour can be enjoyed even outside of family trips.
Currently, the weather in Hawaii is unstable, and it has been raining almost every day. Many people got seasick on the shuttle boat to the submarine. I recommend taking motion sickness medication about an hour before boarding, even for those who usually don’t get seasick. Once the submarine begins to dive, there is no swaying.
Due to the heavy rain, the water from the canals flows directly into the sea, so the water clarity is not very good. In fact, the tours on April 1 and April 2 were canceled. Since we are dealing with nature, there are some difficulties.
The 48-person submarine mostly has English commentary, but the 10 AM dive has Japanese commentary. Conversely, English commentary is played through headphones. There are seats on both sides, but regardless of where you sit, you will definitely see the same points, so feel free to sit close together.
I recommend the morning dive for better visibility. You can see fish, and if you're lucky, you might spot sea turtles and rays up close. The diving time is about 40 to 50 minutes. You can also see the submarine rising from the shuttle boat, which was impressive.
Before boarding, a group photo is taken with Diamond Head in the background. This is an option that includes one photo with a mount and two smaller photos for a total of $20, tax included. The photos are handed out on the return shuttle boat, and you will be asked if you want to purchase them.
After the submarine tour, you can participate for free in a tour of the gold coral exhibition facility, which is collected in Hawaii. Even if you join this tour, the return shuttle service is reliable. You can request drop-off at Ala Moana Shopping Center or your hotel. You can also purchase accessories made from black coral.
Although the tour is said to last about 20 minutes, including shuttle service, explanations, and factory visits, it takes nearly an hour. I think those who are pressed for time should avoid participating.
3/25(土)10時の48人乗りの潜水艦に乗船しました。
参加人数は5名、そのうち子供は4歳と7歳の女の子。
めったに経験できるものではないので、
良好計画当初から参加を決めていました。
とても良かったですよ。あっという間に時間がたちました。
そのツアーは家族旅行以外でも楽しめますよ。
今ハワイは気候が安定せず、毎日のように雨が降っている状態です。
行きの送迎用の船で、酔ってしまう人が多かったです。
普段乗り物酔いしない方でも、乗船1時間前くらいに、
酔い止めの薬を飲んでおくことをお勧めします。
潜水艦は潜り始めれば、揺れる事はありません。
雨が多く運河の水がそのまま海に流れ込んでいるので、
海の透明度はよくありません。
実際4/1と4/2はツアー自体がキャンセルでした。
自然が相手なので、多少難ありといった感じです。
48人乗りはほとんど英語解説ですが、
10時の潜水だけは日本語解説です。
逆にヘッドホンでは英語解説が流れます。
座席は左右にありますが、どちらに座っても、
必ず同じポイントを見せてもらえるので、
気にせずつめて座るようにしましょう。
透明度が良いので午前中の潜水をお勧めします。
魚はもちろん海がめ・エイなども運がよければ、
すぐ近くで見られます。
潜水時間は40分から50分程度です。
送迎船から上昇してくる潜水艦を見ることもできます。
これも見ごたえがありました。
乗船前にダイヤモンドヘッドをバックにグループ写真が撮影されます。
これはオプションで台紙つきの写真1枚と、
サービス版より小さい写真が2枚ついて、税込み20ドルです。
写真は帰りの送迎船で渡され、購入するかどうかを聞かれます。
潜水ツアー終了後に、ハワイで採取されている、
金珊瑚展示施設ツアー無料で参加できます。
このツアーに参加しても、帰りの送迎はちゃんとしてくれます。
アラモアナショッピングセンター・宿泊ホテルまで希望をいえます。
黒珊瑚を使ったアクセサリー購入もできます。
20分位のツアーといわれますが、
送迎・説明・工場見学を含めると、1時間近くになります。
時間に余裕のない人は参加しないほうがいいと思います。

I heard that Honolulu has been experiencing a lot of rain lately, so I decided to try an event that could be enjoyed even in the rain. On the day of the experience, it rained as expected. And it was quite a heavy rain... But we were able to go ahead with the experience at the scheduled time. We took a boat out to the submarine, and from there we boarded. There were many foreign tourists around, which was a bit confusing, but we descended smoothly. The kids' first impression was "the world of Nemo." I was satisfied to be able to take the kids to a world that can't be experienced in Japan. However, due to the rain, the water was a bit murky, and there was some rocking, so those who are prone to motion sickness should be cautious. I think it's worth experiencing at least once. (Though maybe not a second time...)
最近のホノルルは雨が多いとの情報を得て、雨でも楽しめるイベントをと思い体験しました。当日は予想通り、雨。それもかなりの雨・・・ でも予定通りの時間に体験が出来ました。潜水艦までは船で沖まで行き、そこから乗船です。周りは外国の人が多く、戸惑いもありましたが、順調に潜水。子供達の第一印象は「ニモの世界」。日本では体験出来ない様な世界へ、子供達と行けて、満足。でも雨のため、海中は少し濁り気味、揺れもあり、酔いやすい人は注意が必要です。一度は体験する価値はあると思います。(ただし二回は必要ないかも・・・)

Since we used the free children's program, I was wondering if there wouldn't be a seat for my child, but I was grateful that they had prepared one for Alan. The boat didn't sway as much as I expected, and the view of Diamond Head from the boat was amazing! On the submarine, I sat near the cockpit based on other people's recommendations, and I was able to see sea turtles and sharks! On the way back, we even saw whales, which made me very satisfied! It was the best experience...
子供無料プログラムを使用させて頂いた為、子供の席はないのかな???と思いながらの参加でしたが、しっかり用意して頂きアランちゃんに感謝でした。船は思った程揺れる事も無く、船から見るダイアモンドヘッドも最高!!潜水艦では他の人の書き込みを参考にコクピット付近に座り、ウミガメ、サメも見れました!!帰りの船ではクジラも見る事が出来て大満足!!最高でした・・・・

On February 13th (Monday), I participated with my family. I was a bit anxious because the pickup location was not at our hotel but at a nearby one, but we were able to meet the person who was there to greet us without any issues. I also took motion sickness medication just in case, but fortunately, I was fine. (We had to take a boat to transfer to 2-3 submarines. It was fine while the boat was moving, but when it stopped for boarding and disembarking, there was some rolling and it did sway. If you're prone to seasickness, it's safer to take motion sickness medication.) Once we entered the ocean in the submarine, it felt like a different world! (The submarine didn't sway at all.) We saw about five sea turtles and also some rays. We were able to see many fish, and both my 7-year-old child and my 70-year-old grandmother were thrilled. By booking through ALAN, children can participate for free, and the adult rates are quite reasonable, making it a great deal. I would love to participate again!
2/13(月)に家族での参加でした。当日のピックアップ場所は宿泊ホテルではなく、近くのホテルだったため不安でしたが、ちゃんと迎えの人と合流できました。また、船酔いを心配して酔い止め薬も飲んでおいたのですが幸い大丈夫でした。(潜水艦への乗り降りのために船で2~3の潜水艦を経由します。船が動いている間は大丈夫ですが、乗り降りのためにとまるとやはりうねりがあって揺れました。船に弱い方は酔い止めを飲んだ方が無難です。)潜水艦で海の中へ入ると別世界でした!(潜水艦は全く揺れませんでした)ウミガメを5匹ほどみられましたし、エイもいました。他にもたくさんの魚をみることができて、7歳の子供も70歳の祖母も大喜びでした。ALANで申し込みをすると、子供は無料にしていただけるし、大人の料金も格安でかなりお得です。また、参加したいです!

I participated with my 6-year-old daughter as a family. We took motion sickness medication beforehand. The boat ride to the submarine was quite rocky, so I was glad I took the medicine since I tend to get motion sickness easily. There were some people who looked like they were struggling. The guide spoke Japanese very well and provided a fun tour with jokes. We saw cute fish, sea turtles, and a sunken ship, and my child was glued to the window. I think it's a tour that adults can enjoy as well. It was a great experience, and I am very satisfied!
6歳の娘を連れて、家族で参加しました。乗り物酔いをあらかじめ飲んでから参加しました。潜水艦までの船もかなり揺れがあったので、元々酔いやすい私は薬を飲んでおいて良かったです。中には辛そうにされている方もいました。ガイドの方は日本語が上手に話せる方だったので、冗談も交えながら楽しい案内をしてくれました。可愛いお魚や、海がめ、沈んだ船など、子供が食い入るように窓を覗いていました。大人も十分に楽しめるツアーだと思います。とてもいい経験が出来て大満足!!

The shuttle bus to Hilton Hawaiian Village was comfortable and pleasant. The colors underwater were darker than I expected, but the kids were thrilled. It seems they made great memories with the colorful fish, turtles, and sharks.
On the way back, you can either return directly to the hotel or visit the coral shop. If you go to the coral shop, you can also visit Ala Moana Shopping Center afterward.
ヒルトンハワイアンビレッジまでの送迎バスがアトランティスのバスで気持ちがよかったです。
海の中は思ったよりも色がダークでしたが子供たちは大感激でした。
海の中には色とりどりの魚、亀、サメがいていい思い出ができたようです。
帰りはそのままホテルに帰ることもできますし、サンゴのお店に行くこともできます。
サンゴのお店に行った場合、さらにアラモアナショッピングセンターにもいけるとのことでした。

This was my first time using ALAN. They exceeded my expectations by sending several emails before departure and being punctual for the pickup time. On the day of the trip, I was worried about my child getting seasick and gave them motion sickness medication, but the Atlantic was not too rough, and even the sightseeing boat wasn't that bad, so my child ended up sleeping inside the Atlantic! What a shame... If your child doesn't usually get seasick, it might be better not to give them medication before boarding. However, everyone was very excited to encounter the fish in such an unusual situation.
今回初めてALANを利用しました。出発までに何度かメールを送ってくれたり、ピックアップの時間にも正確だったりと期待以上でした。
当日は船酔いを心配して子供に酔い止めの薬を飲ませたのですが、アトランティック号はもちろんのこと遊覧船もそれ程ひどく揺れなかったので、ナント途中から肝心のアトランティック号の中で眠ってしまいました!サンネン・・・
それ程船酔いの心配のないお子さんであればお薬を飲ませずに乗船したほうがよいかの知れませんね。
でも普段ありえないシチュエーションでの魚たちとの対面に全員大興奮でした。

At the end of January, I arrived in Hawaii and participated in a submarine tour on the second day. My son and I joined the tour, and as scheduled, a staff member picked us up at our hotel and took us to the boarding area by bus. We transferred to a submarine via a sightseeing boat, but the waves were quite rough, and I felt pretty nauseous. However, once we were inside the submarine, it was fine. There was no rocking, so we could quietly enjoy the view. The water was murky, but we encountered many fish and turtles, and my son was so excited, squealing with joy. Before boarding the sightseeing boat, all the tourists had their photos taken. I accidentally closed my eyes, so I didn't want the photo, but they brought it all the way to our seats on the boat. When I mistakenly thought it was free and put it in my bag, they asked for $20. I regretted not being able to say "No, thank you!" clearly.
Still, I think we had a great experience seeing the fish and turtles, something we can't do in Japan.
一月の末、ハワイに到着して二日目のツアーで潜水艦乗船へ参加しました。息子と二人で参加したのですが予約したとおりホテルまでスタッフが迎えに来てくれ、バスで乗船場まで向かいました。遊覧船に乗って潜水艦へ移動するのですが波の揺れがけっこう激しくてかなり気分が悪くなりましたが、潜水艦の中では大丈夫。揺れはないので静かに見る事ができました。海は濁っていましたがたくさんの魚や亀に出会うことができ息子は感動してキャーキャー言っていました。遊覧船に乗る前に観光客のみ全員写真を撮ってくれました。私は目をつぶってしまっていたので欲しくなかったのですが、わざわざ遊覧船の座席まで持ってきてくれすぐどこかへ行ってしまったので無料だと勘違いしてバッグにしまっていたら$20くれと言われ払いました。「No Thankyu!」とはっきり言えていたら良かったのに。。。と後悔でした。
でも魚も亀もよく見れて日本では経験できない体験をすることができたと思っています。

We participated in the Atlantis tour with our family of three on a 48-passenger submarine. The underwater scenery was beautiful, and we saw various fish, turtles, and even sharks, which made the kids very happy. The guide, who was a foreigner that had lived in Japan, provided commentary during our 10 AM tour, mixing in some dad jokes, which made it quite entertaining. The boat that took us to the submarine allowed us to enjoy the scenery from the deck, and we got to see the submarine surfacing, which impressed the guests. I highly recommend participating in this experience!
親子3人で48人乗りのアトランティスに参加しました。海の中はとてもきれいでいろんな魚やカメやサメも見れて子供も大喜びでした。参加した時間帯(10時スタート)は日本に住んでたことのある外国人の方が解説していて、おやじギャグをまじえながらでけっこう面白かったです。潜水艦まで移動する船もデッキに上がって風景も楽しめたし、潜水艦が浮上してくるのとかも見れて、おおぉ~ってお客さんたちも楽しんでいましたよ。ぜひ、参加してみてくださいお勧めですよ。

This time, I applied for the first time with ALAN. Since the application was only through the internet and email, I was a bit anxious, but the transportation was exactly on time and there were no troubles at all. I checked the voice center's posts in advance and took motion sickness medication, so I didn't get seasick. I was able to see not only many fish but also sea turtles and sharks, which made for great memories. Additionally, the view of Waikiki Beach from the shuttle boat to the submarine was wonderful. I also looked into local agencies, but there were no options for free admission for children, so ALAN's free child policy is greatly appreciated for families. I think I will apply with ALAN again.
今回、初めてALANで申し込みしました。
インターネットとメールだけの申込なので少し不安があったけど、送迎もきっかり時間通りで何のトラブルもありませんでした。
事前にボイスセンターの書き込みをチェックして酔い止めをしっかり飲んだので、船で酔うことも無く、たくさんの魚だけでなく海がめや鮫まで見れて、いい思い出になりました。
また、潜水艦までの送迎ボートからのワイキキビーチの眺めもすばらしかったです。
現地での代理店も調べて見ましたが、子供無料というものはなく、ALANの子供料金無料制度はファミリーにはありがたい限りです。
また、ALANでもう込んでみようと思いました。
