All Reviews for Waikiki Beach, Oahu

Very beautiful! Drinks were good and we enjoyed the crew

The buffet, especially the roast beef, was incredibly delicious! You can enjoy your meal while drinking a Mai Tai and watching hula dancing and ukulele performances up close. (For those who don't drink alcohol, non-alcoholic options are available.)

After that, we moved to the concert hall to watch the show. It was packed with content, and I was able to fully experience the Hawaiian vibe. The fire dance at the end was truly impressive. I was very satisfied that we could take photos together at the end. This event is full of activities, and I think especially those visiting Hawaii for the first time will enjoy it even more.

ビュッフェは特にローストビーフが最高に美味しかったです！マイタイを飲みながらフラダンスやウクレレ演奏を間近に観ながら食事ができます。(お酒が飲めない方はノンアルコールもOK)
その後はコンサートホールへ移動し、ショーを見ます。盛り沢山の内容でハワイ感を存分に味わえました。終盤のファイヤーダンスは迫力満点。最後に写真も一緒に撮ることができ大満足でした。このイベントは盛り沢山で特にハワイに初めていらっしゃった方はより楽しめると思います。

I am a complete beginner at yoga, but I participated with a friend. We joined a class attended by locals. I heard that this class has been running for over five years. Teacher Tomoko and everyone else were friendly, and with diverse nationalities, ages, and levels of yoga experience, I felt comfortable participating at my own pace. It was the best experience, as I felt one with the sound of the waves, the birds, the pleasant breeze, and the blue sky, all while being shaded from the strong sunlight by the trees by the sea.

We took the HiBus Diamond Head line and got off at the Honolulu Zoo; it was easy to find the location as soon as we reached the beach. I wanted to join again during our stay, but our schedules didn’t match. I definitely want to come back the next time I'm in Waikiki. Thank you, Teacher Tomoko!

ヨガは全くの初心者ですが同行の友人とふたりで参加。現地在住の方々が通うレッスンにjoinする形です。此処では5年以上続いているクラスとのこと。トモコ先生はじめ皆さんフレンドリーで国籍も年齢もヨガの経験も多様なので自分のペースで安心して参加できました。海辺の木陰で強い日差しに晒されることもなく、波の音、鳥の声、気持ち良い風、青い空とひとつになれたような最高の経験でした。
私たちはHiBusのダイヤモンドヘッドラインでホノルル動物園で下車、海辺へ抜けたらすぐにわかる場所でした。滞在中におかわり参加したかったですが予定が合わず、またワイキキに来たら必ず戻って来たいです。トモコ先生ありがとうございました！

The highlights were the roast beef, fish fry with white sauce, and Hawaiian-style tofu dishes, all of which were very well seasoned. I got a bit carried away and ended up taking too much food, so I should have reduced the carbs like yakisoba and macaroni, which were just average in taste, and been a bit more composed. Haha! The Rock-a-Hula show was impressive! The dancers were not only great at hula but also had sharp rock dance moves, which was fun. I was tired from the flight, but I was very satisfied to have an American and Hawaiian experience right from the first night. I'm glad I went!

特に美味しかったのは、ローストビーフ、フィッシュフライのホワイトソースがけ、ハワイ風豆腐の料理など味付けがとてもよかった。ついつい浮かれて取り過ぎて食べきれなかったので、焼きそばとかマカロニとか炭水化物系は普通の味なのでそれを減らしたり、もうちょっと冷静に過ごせばよかった。笑　ロックアフラは見ごたえあり！ダンサーはフラだけじゃなくロックのダンスもキレキレで楽しかった。飛行機で疲れていたけど、初日の夜からアメリカ＆ハワイらしい体験ができて大満足。行ってよかった！

The tour was led by a bright and fun guide who was great at teaching! The course covered a lot, from paintings to the sea, and the explanations were easy to understand. It was really wonderful!

教え方も上手で、明るく楽しいガイドさんのツアーでした！まわるコースも絵画から海まで盛り沢山で解説もわかりやすく、とてもよかったです！

Seeing the beautiful sunset from the boat was amazing, but before that, I enjoyed swimming in the sea and jumping off the boat. In the end, I was very satisfied to see the sunset over the Diamond Bed and the night view. I highly recommend it.

船からの綺麗な夕日ご見れるのも最高ですが、その前の海では泳いだり船からの飛び込んだりして楽しめました。
最後は夕暮れのダイヤモンドベッドや夜景も見れて大満足でオススメです。

It was absolutely wonderful!
I was able to see sea turtles and flying fish.

On the boat, I could enjoy drinks like juice, and it was a luxurious time.

Thank you very much.

最高に気持ち良かったです！
ウミガメ、飛び魚を見ることができました。

船の上ではジュースなど飲み物も飲むことができ、優雅な時間でした。

ありがとうございました。

I was very moved during my last trip to Hawaii in 2019, so I made sure to include it again this time. The live band performance was powerful, and I enjoyed the songs of my favorite artists, Elvis and Michael, along with hula dancing and authentic entertainment. Considering COVID-19, it was nice to be able to watch from the first floor since there was no dining while viewing. It was a bit disappointing that the performer playing Michael had gained some weight after the pandemic. Still, I was very satisfied.

前回（2019）ハワイへ行った時にとても感動したので今回も必須で組込みました。
生バンドでのパフォーマンスは迫力があり大好きなエルビスやマイケルの歌やフラダンスと本場のエンターテイメントを楽しめました。
コロナを考慮して、食事をとりながらの観覧は無いため1階席で観れたのは良かったです。
コロナ後で演者さんが代わりマイケルがちょっと小太りになっていたのは残念。
それでも大満足でした。

Ya better book ahead for this one ! Cocktail sailing was super !
The view along the coast was beautiful as was the sunset .The boat ride itself was well worth the money and the staff/crew were entertaining and we had a memorable time .
Every sunset is different in Hawaii .All the colours of the water, sky and being out on the water...it made a wonderful way to finish our day .

Great way to end our trip. Crew were friendly and drinks were essentially endless. Beautiful views of the sunset and city.

The Rock-a-Hula show was a lot of fun.

I thought it would be just hula, but since the main part was a rock-themed show (impersonations), I had a great time. My plan was to sit in the second-floor seats, so I entered the theater without much expectation, but it turned out to be a large first-floor seat, positioned six seats from the front, which gave me a fantastic view of the show. Elvis was amazing, but I’m sorry to say that Michael was a bit on the heavier side and lacked sharpness, which made me laugh throughout the performance (he was really trying hard, so I feel bad).

As for the buffet in the first half, there was quite a wait as rumored, so it's best to go with that in mind. The sweet potatoes were delicious. However, I took too much—way too much, actually, and couldn't finish it. I really think it's better to take just a little bit at a time. During the meal, there was also a simple hula show and a mini hula experience, which was quite enjoyable.

ロック・ア・フラ、楽しかったです。

フラだけだと、少し、と思っていたのですが、ロックな感じのショー（モノマネ）がメインだったので、楽しい時間を過ごせました。
私のプランは、２階席と書いてあったので期待せずにシアターに入ったのですが、２階席ではなく、大きな１階席で、前から6席目という位置付けでしたので、すごくよくショーが見えました。
エルビスは最高だっただけに、マイケルは申し訳ないですが、ちょいとふくよかで、キレがあまりなく、終始笑わせてもらってました。（本人はすごく頑張っていたので、申し訳ないです）

前半のビュッフェは、噂通り待ち時間が結構ありましたので、そのつもりで行った方がいいですね。食事はお芋がおいしかったです。でも、２つは取りすぎました。すごくたくさん取ってしまうので、食べきれません。本当に少しづつ取った方がいいと思います。
食事の途中でフラの簡単なショーや、フラのプチ体験とかもあって、結構楽しかったです。

We departed from the beach in front of the Sheraton Hotel, just a stone's throw away from the hotel, about 80 minutes before sunset. The catamaran can accommodate around 20 to 30 people. We turned around after passing the beautifully illuminated Diamond Head at sunset. Cruising while sipping a Mai Tai and enjoying the sunset is an absolutely wonderful experience!

泊まったホテルから目と鼻の先、シェラトンホテル前のビーチから、日没約80分前に出発しました。カタマラン型のヨットには、20〜30人くらい乗れます。夕日が美しく映えるダイヤモンドヘッドを過ぎた辺りでUターン。マイタイ・ドリンクを飲みつつ、サンセットを眺めながらのクルージングは最高に気持ちが良いものです！

The show structure was wonderful! I enjoyed the interaction with the dancers before the meal. The staff's service was also very pleasant.

ショー構成素晴らしい！
ダンサーさんとの食事前の交流が楽しかったです。
スタッフの方々の対応も気持ち良かったです。

The friendly staff really gets everyone in a great mood. Watching the fireworks from a prime spot is the best. I'm engraving the view of Waikiki's night scenery into my heart during the cruise.
Be careful of the waves when boarding and disembarking; you might trip.

フレンドリーなstaff 皆でノリノリになります。花火を特等席で観られて、最高です。ワイキキの夜景を観ながらのクルージング目に心に焼き付けています。
乗船、下船する時、波に気を付けましょう、足元がすくわれます。

This was my second time participating alone! I'm a beginner at surfing. I had a private lesson at a different surf school once before, but the group lessons here are much more relaxed in terms of atmosphere and price, and I really like it! All the instructors are friendly, and we can enjoy chatting about surfing as well as various things about Hawaii! Depending on the day, there are instructors who can speak Japanese, and the flow of the lesson and important notes are explained in Japanese, which is reassuring. This seems like it will become my go-to in Honolulu!

1人で2回目の参加でした！サーフィン初心者です。以前1度別のサーフスクールでプライベートレッスンを受けたことがありますが、こちらのグループレッスンは雰囲気的にも価格的にもよりリラックスして参加でき、気にいっています！インストラクターの方もみなさんフレンドリーで、サーフィンのことはもちろん、ハワイのことなど色々お話ししながら楽しめます！日によりますが日本語が話せるインストラクターもいらっしゃり、レッスンの流れや注意事項の説明は日本語表記があるため安心です。私のホノルルでの定番になりそうです！

On October 29th, I participated in a show that I had been interested in for a while as a memory of my trip to Hawaii.

First, we enjoyed a meal while watching hula dancing, sipping on alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks made with orange and fresh pineapple. The luxurious buffet-style dinner created a wonderful atmosphere where everyone was cheerful and friendly. The desserts, including coffee, fruits, and ice cream, were also very delicious.

During the showtime, we were treated to beautiful singing and authentic hula. I was captivated by the spectacular performances of Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson, making for an unforgettable night and a lovely memory.

10/29にハワイ旅行の記念に以前から気になっていたショーの参加をしました。
まずは、食事ですがオレンジに生パインのアルコールやノンアルをいただきながら、フラの踊りを観賞。そして豪華なビュッフェスタイルの夕食は、みんな和気あいあいでとても素敵な雰囲気でした。デザートもコーヒーや果物、アイスクリームもあって、とても美味しかった。
ショータイムは歌手の素敵な歌と本場フラ。
また、エルビスプレスリーとマイケルジャクソンのショーアップされた演出に心を奪われ感激の夜を過ごし、素敵な記念になりました。

We had the best time with our group of 12 on the sunset catamaran cruise. Meet up at the hotel was easy to find. Boarding the boat was quick and efficient the ride out was a little choppy but we laughed our way thru the bumps a couple people were nauseous so if you get nauseous easily take something before.. The drinks were great and the bar service was too! They had a variety of drinks including local beer. The views were amazing. We took great pictures and enjoyed the sunset. I highly recommend and would definitely do it again

Firstly, my stepmother, my sister, and I had SO MUCH FUN! We knew going into this that based on the price and other photos we saw of the tails that these would not come out looking like "realistic" mermaids.

They had a variety of stretchy fabric tails to choose from in various sizes and some to fit larger body types. You can tell the tails have been through the ringer a bit with stains and small tears but none of that showed in the pics.

Mickey was amazing! He was patient, funny, kind, and had many poses in mind. He used a gopro for all of the shots, taking mini videos for you to pull pictures from). The lagoon we shot at was a bit murky so couldn't really get that many underwater pictures.

We definitely got some good shots but I (a professional photographer including boudoir) had to give a lot of direction to him and to my family. I was also able to save/make a lot of the shots pretty due to photoshop. Otherwise there would have been lots of pics of us from overhead like my hair flip photos which should have been taken from much lower/straight on to get the full effect of the hair flip.

In no way was that Mickey's fault, though. I think the company mainly has men under their employment and mostly focuses on scuba diving so I can imagine none of the guys are vying to do the mermaid session and therefore make the youngest, newest employee do it. It's management/the owners that should consider having whoever does the mermaid experience have some photography training even if a cheap, online one. Mickey did AMAZING with the skillet he had and was an absolute pleasure to work with and be around.

At the end of the day, for the price, and the experience we'd definitely would recommend. Just know you're not walking away looking like a real mermaid with breathtaking photos. Lol.

I attended the show only without a meal. It was exciting and fun from start to finish! My mother and I participated, and even though there is a generation gap, we were able to enjoy the songs we both knew! I was satisfied to see hula dancing, Tahitian dancing, and fire dancing! The air conditioning in the venue was quite strong, so it was a good idea to bring a light jacket! The ambiance is nice, and there’s no confusion, so I highly recommend it.

食事なしショーのみに参加しました。
最初から最後まですごい盛り上がって楽しかったです！
母娘で参加し世代は違えど知ってる曲が流れ楽しむ事ができました！フラダンス、タヒチアンダンス、ファイヤーダンス全て観れて満足しました！
館内は冷房が強めにかかっていたので羽織り物を持っていって正解でした！
リッチもいいし迷うこともないのでおすすめです。

The captain and crew were engaging, fun and so very very kind. As a heavy traveler I don’t often put myself out there unless I KNOW I can do all of the activity. I was worried about being able to get out of the water after snorkeling. They never once made me feel like I was a pain, uncomfortable, or “less than” that is not a typical experience, so not only did they get my business for the snorkeling trip, I also went on their sunset cruise for the next two days. I will shout their praises to the rooftops!

I personally recommend it. On the first day in Hawaii, I participated with a friend. The venue was on the rooftop with a covered area, and we could choose to sit facing each other at a long table or next to each other. Once seated, we chose either a Mai Tai or juice. About one-third of the attendees were Japanese. It was a buffet-style meal, and during the meal, the staff entertained us with ukulele performances and hula dancing. After the meal, we moved to the theater venue. I had reserved seats in the second floor, but there was no second floor to begin with, so perhaps because there were few people, we ended up sitting in the fifth row from the front. The show lasted 90 minutes and was surprisingly professional and really good!

個人的にはオススメです。ハワイ初日に友達と2人で参加しました。屋上で屋根付きの会場で、長机に向かい合って座るか隣りに座るか選択できました。席に着くとマイタイかジュースを選びます。３分の1は日本人でした。ビュッフェ形式で、食事中はスタッフがウクレレで弾き歌いやフラダンスなどで楽しませてくれます。食事が終わるとシアター会場に移動します。2階席で予約しましたがそもそも2階が存在せず、、人が少なかったせいか前から5番目に座りました。ショーは90分、思いの外プロ並みでとっても良かったです！

It was my first time parasailing.
First of all, the boat ride to the point was so pleasant and amazing! Taking off wasn't particularly scary, and I enjoyed the view of Waikiki from above. I even had enough time to take photos with my phone in a waterproof case.
It was fun to fly myself, and it was also enjoyable to watch others take off.
As for the water splash, I saw someone getting soaked on YouTube, so I asked them to keep it mild... and they really did! It was just a little splash, so unless you're really afraid of water, I think it's better not to make that request to enjoy it more.
The local staff were very kind, giving me water for motion sickness and letting us wait in the car when we arrived early.
I would love to join this tour again the next time I go to Hawaii!

初めてのパラセイリングでした。
まずポイントに移動する船が気持ちよくて最高！飛び立つのも特に怖くなく、上空でワイキキ一望できる景色を堪能しました。防水のスマホケースに入れて撮影もできるくらいの余裕はあります。
自分が飛ぶのも楽しいし、他の方が飛んでるのを見るのも楽しかったです。
水ジャポンは、YouTubeでじゃぶじゃぶされている人がいたので控えめで・・・とお願いしたら本当に控えめでした笑 １回チャポンくらいだったので、よほどお水が怖くないのでなければそんなお願いしない方が楽しめるかと思います。
現地のスタッフさんもとても優しくて、酔止め内服用のお水をくれたり、早くついたら車の中で待たせてくれたりしました。
次回ハワイに行ったときもこちらのツアーに参加したいと思います！！

I had a wonderful experience riding a Segway while enjoying the scenery at Kaka'ako and Magic Island, with fun explanations from our guide.

セグウェイに乗ってカカアコやマジックアイランドなど、ゆっくり景色を見ながら、楽しいガイドさんの説明などで楽しい思いを体験しました。

The reception is located on the 4th floor of the Royal Hawaiian Center. When I showed my voucher, I was guided right away. The seating was at long tables, and since I attended with one other person, we shared a table with a couple.

There was a bit of time before the start, and staff members were going around for photo opportunities, which could also be purchased afterward. A Mai Tai was served as a welcome drink. The staff asked if we wanted alcohol, but the person next to me seemed to have trouble understanding English, which caused quite a delay as they had to call a Japanese staff member for assistance.

The meal was served buffet-style, and we took turns getting our food. The hot dishes were served warm, and they even cut the roast beef right there for us. The chocolate cake for dessert was delicious, and I was very satisfied.

During the meal, we were able to see hula dancing, and there were also experience corners. After finishing the meal, we moved to watch the show. The air conditioning was quite strong, so a jacket is a must.

The show included hula dancing, Elvis and Michael look-alikes, and fire dancing, making for a packed experience that lasted about three and a half hours when combined with the meal. I think the price is a great deal for such a substantial meal and an impressive show.

受付はロイヤルハワイアンセンターの4階にあります。バウチャーを見せるとすぐに案内して頂けました。席は長机で、わたしは2名で参加したのですが、カップルさんと相席となりました。
スタートまで少し時間があり、写真撮影のスタッフさんが周っています。その後購入も可能です。
ウェルカムドリンクとしてマイタイが提供されます。アルコールありかなしか、とスタッフさんが聞いてくれますが、お隣の方は英語が聞き取れなかったようで、このやりとりだけで日本人スタッフを呼んできてもらったりとかなり時間がかかっていました^^;お食事はビュッフェスタイルで順番に取っていきます。お料理は温かいものは温かく、その場でローストビーフをカットしてくれたり、デザートのチョコレートケーキもおいしく、大満足です。
途中でフラダンスが見れたり、体験コーナーもあります。
お食事が終わったら移動してショーを観ます。かなり冷房が効いてるので上着必須です。
フラダンスからエルビス、マイケルのそっくりさん、ファイヤーダンスとかなり盛りだくさんでお食事と合わせると3時間半ほどかかります。
お食事と、こんなにしっかりとしたショーが観れてこの価格はお値打ちだと思います。

You can choose a non-alcoholic Mai Tai, which is great for those who are sensitive to alcohol. The dinner buffet is served in order, so it's reassuring. The meat is a bit tough, but it was very delicious. You can go back for dessert later, so be careful not to overeat. There was also ice cream, fruit, and cake. The show includes not only Hawaiian music but also popular songs, so I think anyone can enjoy it. I recommend it if you want to fully enjoy the Hawaiian atmosphere.

マイタイは、アルコール無しも選ぶことが出来て、お酒に弱い人にも大丈夫でした。
ディナーのビュッフェは順番に案内してくれるので安心。
お肉は、ちょっと硬めですが、味はとってもおいしかったです。
デザートがあとでまた取りに行けるので食事の取りすぎ注意です。
アイスクリームもフルーツ、ケーキがありました。
ショーはハワイアンだけでなくメジャーな歌も盛り込まれていて誰でも楽しめると思う。
ハワイ気分を堪能したいならおすすめです。

Overview:
The meeting point is the Holocai Catamaran booth located on the beach side of the Outrigger Reef Waikiki Beach Resort on the first floor of the hotel. If you're unsure, you can enter the hotel from the Steak Shack side and walk towards the abc store to find it.

There, you check in. There are about 12 participants. Since the boat will be moored on the sandy beach, you'll need to take off your sandals to board. About four strong men will be your guides. They look impressive, like old-time sailors from a movie. As I listened to the explanations (in English), we soon moved to an area where we could see honu (sea turtles). (I didn't feel much rocking.) Most participants were foreigners, with only a few Japanese. You can borrow snorkeling sets and life jackets. Wearing the jacket is mandatory, but whether to inflate it is up to personal judgment. Beginners should inflate it, while experienced snorkelers who want to dive can keep it deflated. The spots where honu are found are crowded with various tour groups, so we shared the space and slowly approached the honu together. We observed the honu as they surfaced for air, keeping a respectful distance. The guide provided friendly explanations and directed us on where to go. However, in the latter half, things became less organized, and people started to act freely, so it's good to occasionally look up to see where the guide is or swim towards the direction of someone calling out "Holokai!" When there was a honu underwater, I borrowed an underwater camera from another guest (I used a GoPro), and the guide dove down to take close-up shots. It was a wonderful memory. After observing for a while, we returned to the boat and had free time sailing around Waikiki's waters. Soft drinks were free, while alcohol was available for purchase (ID is only required when buying; if you don't plan to buy, you don't need an ID). Participants freely took photos and relaxed on the net at the front of the boat... The guide was always cheerful and even spoke a little Japanese when he realized we were from Japan... We spent a leisurely time on our way back...

Impression:
Of course, it depends on the weather and waves that day, but in my case, I hardly felt any rocking and was very comfortable. It's not particularly Japanese-friendly, and the vibe and way of speaking are completely native, but they don't say anything too difficult, and if you ask, they will teach you very friendly. If the weather is nice, you might get sunburned, so I recommend bringing long sleeves and sunglasses. If you have an underwater camera, I definitely recommend bringing it. After getting off the boat, there is a Steak Shack right in front, so I had lunch there.

Since the atmosphere is quite international, those who are not comfortable with that should consider it, but it was a very pleasant experience that made me feel like I was in a tropical paradise. There was no pressure to do anything in particular, and everyone enjoyed their travels freely, creating a relaxed atmosphere.

概要：
集合場所はアウトリガー リーフ ワイキキビーチリゾートのビーチ側のホテル内1FにあるHolocai Catamaranのブース。よくわからない場合はステーキシャック側からホテル内に入ってabc storeあたりまで行くとあります。

そこで受付。参加人数は12名ほど。砂浜にボートがつくのでサンダルを脱いで乗船。屈強な男たち4名ほどがガイドをしてくれる。かっこいい。映画の中の昔の船乗りみたいにかっこいい。なんとなく説明(英語)を聞いているといつの間にかホヌ(ウミガメ)がいる辺りに移動。(あまり揺れは感じませんでいた)参加者の多くは外国人。日本人はわずか。借りれるのはシュノーケリングセットと救命ジャケット。ジャケットは着用マストだがふくらませるかどうかは個人判断。初心者なら膨らませ、経験者で潜水したい場合は空気を入れなければ良い。ホヌがいるスポットは様々はツアーの客が群がっているので、譲り合ってゆっくりみんなでホヌに近づく。息継ぎのために水面まで上がってくるホヌを一定の距離を保ちながら観察。ガイドがフレンドリーに説明をしてくれたりどっちに行くかを案内してくれる。ただ後半は段々と統率がなくなってきて自由に行動し始めるので、たまには顔を上げてガイドがどこにいるのか、またはホロカイ！と声を上げているほうへ泳いで迷子にならないように。水下にホヌがいたときは、水中カメラを持っている客から(私はgopro)借りて、ガイドが下まで潜って間近で撮影してくれた。とてもいい思い出。ある程度観察したら船に戻り、残りの時間をワイキキの海をセーリングしながら自由時間。ソフトドリングは無料。アルコールは有料(購入時だけIDが必要。その予定なければIDは要らない)参加者各々が自由に写真を撮ったり船先端にある網？の上で寛いだり…ガイドは常に明るく接してくれたり、日本から来たとわかると少し覚えている日本語を話してくれたり…かなりゆったりと時間を過ごしながら帰路へ…

感想：
もちろんその日の天気や波に寄りますが、私の場合、揺れはほとんど気にならず、とても快適に過ごせました。日本語フレンドリーではありませんし、完全にネイティブのノリや喋り方ですが、そこまで難しいことは言いませんししませんし、聞けばとてもフレンドリーに教えてくれます。天気がいい場合、日焼けするので長袖やサングラスを持ってくと良いと思います。水中カメラはあれば是非とも持っていくことをおすすめします。
船から降りた後は目の前にステークシャックがあるので、そのままお昼に食べました。

もちろん海外なノリが多いため、苦手な方は考慮されたほうが良いですが、とても気分の良い、南国にきたなーーーーと思える体験でした。特に何を強要されるわけでもなく、各々が自由に旅行を謳歌している、そんな雰囲気でした。

I learned about canoe surfing about five years ago and wanted to try it. Finally, it was available in Hawaii, so I went!

I arrived early at the meeting point, checked in, and within a few minutes, the staff came to explain about the canoe. Then we were off! Riding the waves with the wind in my face was absolutely amazing!

It wasn't just a one-time experience; it was an activity that made me want to do it again!

５年位前に知って、やってみたかったカヌーサーフィン
やっと、ハワイ解禁、行ってきました！

早めに集合場所に着いて、チェックインすると数分で
スタッフが来て、カヌーでの説明をして、いざ！
風をきって波に乗って・・・最高に気持ち良かった♪

1回体験すればいいや・・・ではなく、また、やりたいなぁと
思うようなアクティビティでした

I paid for the VIP package for a group of 6 people and everything went pretty smoothly from checking in to being seated at our table. Everything was pretty efficient from getting our meals to seeing the show. My only issue of concern was that I paid for the additional drink and we were not able to use them. We were told that there would be an opportunity to use them during the show but no one told us we had to get them before the show started because there would not be an intermission or an opportunity afterwards. The waiters need to clearly state that if you don't get your drink during your meal, you need to be sure to get it before heading into the show because you won't get the opportunity otherwise. The show was amazing from the MC, Elvis, to Michael Jackson! The dancers and band did a great job as well!

Cute small sailboat! Not too windy the day we went but still good ride! They had friends on board so they stopped and let anyone swim! I was bummed I wasn’t prepared for that cause I love the water! People in charger were nice and friendly! Thank you!

It was an incredibly fun and unique experience, like flying in the vast sky! From a height of 150 meters above the sea, I could see Diamond Head and the streets of Hawaii; it felt like a dream.

It was my first time parasailing, and I thought I would be sitting in a chair while flying. I didn't realize that you sit in a harness like on a zip line, which made my bottom feel a bit unstable and added to the thrill. It was a little scary, but the fun definitely outweighed it! It might be tough for those with a fear of heights...

Also, they took photos during the experience that you can purchase for $40. Instead of just one photo, they gave me the entire microSD card with 120 images! If you want, they can connect it to your iPhone on the spot to transfer the photos, but I couldn't do that since I have an iPhone 15 with a type-C port (;^ω^).

For your reference, here are some concerns I had before the experience and my actual experience:

- I was a bit worried that I might feel nauseous like I do on roller coasters, but I didn't feel that sensation at all.

- I had heard from various people that the boat ride to the parasailing spot makes you really seasick, but since I don't usually get motion sickness, I was completely fine. In fact, the boat rocked quite a bit, which I found enjoyable, and the wind felt great. I think it's a good idea for those who are prone to motion sickness to take some medication beforehand.

- The staff were locals, and they helped me put on the safety gear while explaining things in simple Japanese, like "lift your legs," so it went smoothly. You don't need to worry if you don't understand English.

Overall, it was a really enjoyable activity without any worries. I would love to do it again if I get the chance!

大空を飛んでいるような唯一無二の体験ができて最高に楽しかったです！
海上150ｍの高さからからダイヤモンドヘッドやハワイの街並みが見えて、夢のような時間でした。

パラセイリングは初めてだったのですが、椅子に座って飛行するものだと思っていたのでジップラインのようにベルト？に座って飛行することを知らず、おしりが不安定でなかなかスリルがありました。
少し怖かったけど、断然楽しさが勝ちます！高所恐怖症の方には辛いでしょうが…

また、体験中の写真を撮ってくれて40ドルで購入できるのですが、1枚だけではなくmicroSDごとくれて、120枚のデータが入っていました！
希望すればその場でケーブルに繋ぎiPhoneに転送もしてくれますが、私はiPhone15でtypeCなのでダメでした(;^ω^)


以下ご参考までに、体験前に不安だった事と実際の体験談です↓
・私はジェットコースターの胃が浮く感覚が苦手なので胃がふわっとしないか少し不安だったのですが、そういう感覚は全くありませんでした。

・色々な人から「パラセイリングに行くまでの船がめちゃくちゃ酔うよ！」と聞いていましたが、もともと乗り物酔いをしない体質という事もあり全く酔いませんでした。むしろ船がけっこう揺れるのが楽しくて、風が気持ち良かったです。
酔いやすい人は酔い止めを飲んでいった方が良いと思います。

・スタッフの方は現地の方ですが、救命道具の着用は「足あげて」等と簡単な日本語で説明しながら手伝ってくれるのでスムーズでした。英語がわからなくても心配いりません。

こんな感じで、不安もなく本当に楽しいアクティビティでした。
機会があればまたやってみたいです！
