I arrived at Dole 5 minutes before opening, entered through the back door, and was the first to get the Dole ice cup with toppings for $6.50, which I had previously given up on due to the long line!
In Haleiwa, I enjoyed the garlic shrimp at Camaron, which was recommended by our guide, and the rainbow shave ice from Matsumoto Shave Ice. We waited just long enough for those who were late to make it to the next horseback riding session, and I was thrilled when we found the two of them while slowly driving back. I really appreciate the consideration shown by our guide, Kaz.
During the drive, Kaz listened to everyone's requests and kept the atmosphere lively with stories and quizzes, so we had a fun time without getting bored.
My first horseback riding experience was much more enjoyable than I had imagined. The view from the horse was fantastic, and the scenery at Turtle Bay was beautiful. In the forest, there were moments when the hungry horse decided it was mealtime or strayed off the path, but as Kaz explained, the horse listened well to the gentle guidance, making it very cute. Horseback riding was amazing!!! I plan to include horseback riding at the top of my itinerary for my next trip to Hawaii.
On the way back, we made an unexpected stop at a macadamia nut farm (with free coffee and nut cracking), and I was able to take great photos of the murals in the Kaka'ako area from the car window.
It was also possible to get off at our desired locations, and after arriving at the hotel, I got off at Ala Moana and enjoyed shopping at my leisure.
Thank you very much, Kaz, for all your help. I truly appreciate it! (o^―^o)
ドールには開店5分前に到着、裏口から入り、以前行列で断念したドールアイスカップ入りトッピング付き$6.50を一番乗りでゲット!!
ハレイワではガイドさんオススメのカマロンのガーリックシュリンプ、松本シェイブアイスのレインボーアイスを食べました。
集合時間に間に合わなかった方を次の乗馬に間に合うギリギリまで待ち、その後Uターンしながらゆっくり車を走らせてお二人を見つけた時には感激しました。ガイドのカズさんの配慮に脱帽です。
車内では一人一人の要望を聞いて下さり、出来るだけ皆が楽しめるような話やクイズで盛り上げてくれたので道中飽きる事なく楽しく過ごせました。
初めての乗馬は想像していたよりずっと楽しかったです。馬の上からの眺望は素晴らしくタートルベイの景色はとっても綺麗でした。林の中では途中食いしん坊の馬が食事タイムになったり、道を外れたりするのですが、ガイドさんの説明通り手網さばきで馬は素直にいう事を聞いてくれるのでとっても可愛いです。乗馬最高!!!次のハワイ旅行の時にも乗馬は真っ先に予定に入れるつもりです。
帰りには予定になかったマカダミアナッツファームで下車(フリーコーヒーとナッツ割り)、カカアコ地区の壁画も車窓からバッチリ写真撮影が出来ました。
希望の場所でも下車が可能で、ホテル到着後に行きたかったアラモアナで下車しゆっくりと買い物を楽しむ事が出来ました。
ガイドのカズさん、大変お世話になりました。

I returned to Honolulu via a layover in Orlando, Florida. My body was stiff, probably from the cold on the plane and having too much fun in Orlando. On top of that, the shuttle bus from the airport was stuck in traffic... During that time, I found a place that was available for reservations, so I requested it. It was very close to the hotel, and more than anything, I was relieved to communicate in Japanese. They even had a foot bath, and the treatment was thorough. I will visit again.

I wanted to ride the Premium Submarine, but it was under regular maintenance, so I booked the Standard Submarine instead. I had heard that the windows were smaller and the seats were narrower compared to the Premium, but it wasn't as cramped as I expected, and the windows were decent enough for viewing and taking photos or videos without much issue.
The diving time was 45 minutes, which was sufficient to enjoy the experience. I read on one site that there weren't many fish to see, but during our trip, we were able to see quite a few. If I had to say, the fish didn't appear as colorful as in the advertisements, and overall, it looked quite blue. But that's the true color of the ocean, isn't it? This made me feel like I was really diving.
It was great. One thing to note is that the visibility differs on the left and right sides of the submarine; for example, if there are reefs visible on the right, there's nothing on the left, and vice versa. During those times when nothing is visible, it can get a bit boring.
プレミアム・サブマリンに乗りたかったのですが、定期点検中でスタンダード・サブマリンを予約しました。
プレミアムに比べ窓も小さく席も狭いと聞いていましたが、思ったほど狭くなく、窓もそれなりで、見るのは勿論、写真やビデオ撮影にもそれほど問題はありませんでした。
潜水時間は45分でしたが堪能するのに十分な時間でした。
あるサイトで魚がそれほど見られないと書かれていましたが、私たちの時はそれなりに見ることが出来ました。
強いて言うなら広告のようにカラフルに魚は見えず全体的に青く見えます。
でもそれって本当の海の色なんですよね。
こちらのほうが、本当に潜っているんだなぁっていう気持ちになりました。
よかったです。
あとは、潜水艦の左右で視界が違うので、右に漁礁が見えると左は何もなく、

We take a small boat to the flying location, and it can be quite rocky! If you're prone to motion sickness, definitely bring some medication. I sometimes get sick if I'm not feeling well, but on this day, I was sleep-deprived and had no issues enjoying myself. On the other hand, my husband started feeling sick on the way back to land and was a bit groggy for a while.
The guide was very professional, and I felt completely at ease leaving things in their hands. If you're feeling a little scared, you should definitely give it a try!

Previously, I boarded the Mai Tai Catamaran to see the sunset sinking on the horizon. I was moved then, so this time I boarded to watch the Friday fireworks at Hilton. Since Hilton Village is my regular accommodation, I had been watching the Friday fireworks from the beach and poolside in front of Hilton Village, but seeing the fireworks from the sea was something special. I sat on the port side, but when we started moving, I realized we were facing the opposite side of the beach and thought I might have made a mistake. However, we stopped facing the fireworks venue, so I had a good view. If you sit close to the bow, prepared to get splashed by the waves, you can see the fireworks well. The crew only spoke English but were kind. Because of that, I ended up drinking quite a bit—Mai Tai, beer, and white wine—and then I needed to go to the restroom, which was a bit of a problem. Upon closer inspection, I noticed there was a window on the port side, and when I went to check it out, I found that it was the restroom.
以前、水平線に沈む夕日を見にマイタイ・カタマラン号に乗船しました。その時も感動しましたので、今回はヒルトンの金曜花火を見るために乗船しました。ヒルトンビレッジが常宿なので金曜花火はヒルトンビレッジ前の浜辺やプールサイドから見ていましたが、海上から見る花火はまた格別でした。左舷の席に座りましたが、走り出すと浜辺と反対側と気づき失敗したかなと思いましたが、花火会場に舳先を向けて止まったのでよく見えました。波を被るのを覚悟で舳先近くに座れば花火がよく見えます。クルーは英語しか話せませんが親切でした。そのためマイタイ、ビール、白ワインと結構飲んでしまいトイレに行きたくなり困ってしまいました。よく見ると左舷に窓があり、そこに潜る人を見つけ、見に行くとそこがトイレでした。

It's been a while since I've been to the North!!! I usually come by rental car, but I wanted to experience horseback riding on the beach, so I joined this tour. Although we were hit by a heavy downpour just before, it cleared up quickly, and I was able to ride safely. Since it was along the beach rather than on a road, it was a bit challenging to control the horse, but it felt great and was a lot of fun.
久々のノースに!!!いつもはレンタカーで来るのですが、ビーチで乗馬体験をしたくてこちらのツアーに参加させて頂きました。直前に激しいスコールに襲われたものの、すぐにあがったので無事乗馬できました。道ではなくビーチ沿いだったので馬を操るがちょっと難しかったですが、とても気持ちよくて楽しかったです。

I was a bit scared at first, wondering if parasailing would be okay, but once I took off, it felt amazing and was absolutely the best! The view of Waikiki from the sky was also really beautiful.
Since I didn't understand the language and wasn't familiar with the area, I was really worried about whether they would actually come to pick me up at the meeting point, but they arrived just as promised, which was a relief! If I have the chance again, I definitely want to do it once more!

The staff at the reception spoke Japanese, which was great. On the day of the visit, there were only two groups, so the wait time was short, and we enjoyed the boat ride to the midway point without feeling seasick.
I'm not good with heights, but I managed to handle the 90 meters. However, it might be tough in case of strong winds.
The crew on the boat consisted of two members who didn't speak Japanese, but they were friendly, so I gave them a $10 tip.
I'm unsure whether I would repeat the experience, but I would recommend it at least once.

Since I made the reservation on the day of arrival... I couldn't predict the timing... and I caused quite a bit of inconvenience... but I am truly grateful! They changed the time for me, and I was able to enjoy parasailing! I chose a height of 150 meters! It was quite high, and the weather in Hawaii was perfect! Flying while looking down at Diamond Head and Waikiki Beach from above felt amazing (*^^*) For those who are not comfortable with heights... 150 meters might be a bit too high, so perhaps you could enjoy it at a lower height? It was really nice to fly while feeling the wind.

He was a cheerful reggae-loving teacher who seemed a bit eccentric, but when the waves came, he switched to serious mode. When he told me to stand up, I surprisingly managed to ride the waves! There were no other students, so it ended up being a private lesson, and it seemed like time didn't matter; we only finished when I finally said I was tired! It was worth every penny!

The meeting place was the beach counter at the Royal Hawaiian, so it was easy to find by walking along the beach. When I spoke to the staff at the counter, I was instructed to:
- Place my flip-flops in the designated area
- Wear the rash guard that was drying
- Sit in a chair under the umbrella and wait
The rash guard was not the typical one I expected; it was a long-sleeved yellow one. And perhaps because it hadn't been washed much, it had a bit of a smell, haha. Well, I thought, once I get in the ocean, it will be fine! But if you're concerned, I recommend bringing your own rash guard! I will do that next time too! Haha.
While I was sitting and waiting, someone who seemed to be the instructor called out to me. I introduced myself, thinking this might be the person. They quickly taught me how to ride the board, how to paddle, and how to get back on if I fell. Then, when I was handed the board, I was told, "You can do it!" and directed to head towards the ocean.
Wait, am I going alone already? Feeling anxious, I headed towards the ocean and got on the board as instructed. It was more stable than a surfing board, and it was easy to get on. First, I paddled right while sitting, then left, and I felt a bit reassured as I sensed I was moving forward. Before long, the instructor came and led the way, giving me directional instructions as we moved further out.
Floating on the ocean felt really nice. Just as I was feeling moved by the experience, I heard, "Stand up!" Wait, stand up? Already? Is this the American way of getting used to it physically? I was surprised by how quickly things were moving, but I decided to stand up as I had practiced. I managed to stand up, albeit a bit wobbly.
As I paddled desperately, the instructor shouted, "Dolphin! Dolphin!" There was a pod of dolphins swimming just ahead! I couldn't believe I was seeing a pod of dolphins in the waters of Waikiki! There were about six of them. I was really lucky, and the instructor was excited too.
After that, under the instructor's guidance, I alternated between standing and sitting while experiencing riding the waves, and towards the end, I even saw a rainbow from the board. My first SUP experience started with anxiety, but I’m really glad I gathered the courage to challenge myself.
集合場所はロイヤルハワイアンのビーチカウンターなので、ビーチ沿いに歩けばすぐわかりました。
カウンターにいるスタッフに声をかけたら
・ビーサンを指定の場所に置く
・干してあるラッシュを着る
・パラソルの下の椅子に座って待つ
ことを指示されました。
ラッシュが私が思っていたよくあるラッシュではなく、黄色の長袖でした。
そして、おそらくあまり洗ってないからか少し匂う笑
まぁ海に入ればなんとかなる!と私は切り替えましたが、気になる方はご自分のラッシュを持っていくことをお勧めします!私も次回はそうします!笑
座って待っていると先生らしき人から声をかけられます。
たぶん、この人かと思いながら自己紹介。
早々にボードの乗り方、パドルの操作方法、落ちた時の登り方を教えてもらいました。
じゃあボード持ってと、ボードを持たされると
「you can do it!」
と声をかけられ海に向かうように指示が。
え、これ、もう一人でいく感じなん?
不安になりながらも海に向かい、言われたようにボードに乗りました。
サーフィンのボードより安定感があり、乗るのは簡単にできました。
まずは座った状態で右漕いで、左漕いで
なんとなく前に進んでるのを感じて少し安心
ほどなく先生が来て先頭を進んで私に方向の指示を出してくれながらどんどん沖に進んでいきます。
海の上に浮かぶのは本当に気持ちがよかったです。
と感動もそこそこに
「立って!」
え、立つの?もう?
アメリカって身体で慣れろ精神なんでしょうか?展開が早くてびっくりしましたが、練習したように立って見ることに。
へっぴりごしになりながらもどうにか立てました。
そのまま必死に漕いでると
「ドルフィン!ドルフィン!」
と先生が!
すぐ先にイルカの群れが泳いでました。
まさかワイキキの海でイルカの群れを見れるなんて!6頭ちかくいました。
本当にラッキー、先生も興奮してました。
その後も先生の指示のもと立ったり座ったりしながら、波乗りも体験させてもらって、最後の方にはボードの上から虹まで見れました。
不安から始まった初めてのSUP体験でしたが、本当に勇気をだしてチャレンジして良かったです。
Dear Onigiri,
Thank you very much for your five-star review. Your detailed explanation will be very helpful for those reading it.
As you mentioned, the rash guard is indeed long-sleeved. While it may look like a regular shirt, it is made from a quick-drying material rather than cotton, and it offers SPF 50 protection to shield your skin from UV rays. This rash guard is loved not only by our staff but also by the Waikiki Beach Boys. We apologize for any slight "wet smell" due to its frequent use by various customers throughout the day, but we hope you understand. As you suggested, bringing your own rash guard would be the best option. If you don’t have one, you can also purchase one in advance at our select shop, Waikiki Beach Boy, which has two locations at the Sheraton Waikiki Hotel and the Royal Hawaiian Hotel.
Just like surfing, once you learn to balance on the board, it’s something you won’t forget, similar to riding a bicycle. The more you practice, the better you will get.
Encountering dolphins and a rainbow was very lucky! Occasionally, you can also spot sea turtles! Please be sure to use our services on your next trip to Hawaii!
Mahalo Nui Loa!

5つ星の口コミ、誠に有難うございます。内容もとても細かく説明して頂いて、読む方にとても役に立つと思います。
ラッシュガードはおっしゃる通り長袖です。普通のシャツ(?)に見えるかもしれませんが、綿ではなく、水はけのよい素材で作ってあり、そして紫外線からもお肌を守っていただけますよう、SPF50となっております。このラッシュガードは弊社のスタッフは勿論、ワイキキビーチボーイス達も愛用している物です。一日中色々なお客様に使って頂いているため、多少の”濡れた匂い”は申し訳ございませんが避けることは出来ませんのでご了承ください。おにぎり様がおっしゃる通り、ご自分のラッシュガードを持参して頂くのがベストでしょう。ご自分のを持っていない場合は、弊社のセレクトショップ、ワイキキビーチボーイによって先に購入する事も可能です。ワイキキビーチボーイはシェラトンワイキキホテルとロイヤルハワイアンホテルに2店あります。
サーフィンもそうですが、ボードの上でのバランスは、自転車と同じく一度見につけたら忘れないものですので、言葉ではなく体で覚える物なので、やればやるほど上達なされるはずです。
イルカとの遭遇、そして虹、とてもラッキーでしたね!たまに海亀にも遭遇できるんですよ!
次回の渡ハにも是非弊社のサービスをご利用ください!

Even when the shuttle bus was delayed on-site, I received a notification that it would be about 5 minutes late, which made me feel secure participating in an unfamiliar overseas environment. I would like to join again next time.

Since it was a private lesson, I was taught carefully and thoroughly, and I had a lot of fun. If I have the chance to go to Hawaii again, I would like to request it again.
プライベートレッスンだったので、じっくり丁寧に教えていただきとても楽しかったです。またハワイに行くことがあったらお願いしたいと思います。
Dear Toshi-chan,
Thank you very much for the four-star review. It seems you had a one-on-one lesson. I'm glad to hear you enjoyed it!
We look forward to your next visit! Aloha!
トシちゃん様:

In Japan, I often go fishing, so I participated with my 18-year-old son and father. It was convenient since the meeting place was just a stone's throw away from the hotel. However, everyone gathered an hour later than scheduled. I think they should reconsider the timing. My son, who had never experienced seasickness even when riding fishing boats in Japan, got seasick for the first time. The boat was quite rocky, and I apologize to the guide for the concern. However, the person who helped us the most was a foreign lady who was on the boat with us. She gave me seasickness medication (which wasn't very effective) and offered advice and care, for which I am truly grateful. I learned that I shouldn't underestimate the waves overseas, so next time I will prepare stronger seasickness medication. There were some people who caught big fish on the tour, so it was quite good overall. However, the minimum number of participants for the tour is 15, and there were delays in confirming the tour. It was unclear whether the delay was due to the local tour's response or the Japanese tour agency's response, and the decision to hold the tour was made at the very last minute, which was quite nerve-wracking.
日本でも、釣りはよく行くので、18歳の息子と父親の二人で参加。集合場所と目と鼻の先のホテルだったから楽ちんでした。しかし、全員が揃ったのは1時間後。時間設定を見直すべきと思います。かつて、日本で漁船に乗っても一度も船酔いをしなかった息子が、初めての船酔い。かなり揺れて、ガイドさんには、ご心配をお掛けしました。しかし一番お世話になったのは、一緒に乗船したお客の外人のおばちゃんで、船酔い薬(実際の効きはイマイチでした)を頂いたり、アドバイスやその他親身にいろいろ気遣っていただき本当にお世話になりました。海外の波は甘んじてはいけないと次回は強力な酔い止めを、用意します。ツアーは、大物を釣っていた方もいて、なかなか良かったのでは?しかし開催最低人数が15名以上で、なかなか確定の連絡来なかったり、催行可能なのに、返事が遅く、そこは、現地ツアーの回答がおそいのか、日本のツアー代理店がおそいのか、開催決定本当にギリギリでハラハラしました。

I went parasailing with my dad after he said he wanted to! The person in charge spoke a little Japanese, and when they realized we were father and child, they called my dad "Papa" and even splashed us in the water once, which was a lot of fun. You can buy the photos taken on an SD card for $30 (for those who want it), and I think it's a good deal since there are about 100 pictures included. We bought the SD card, took photos with our phones, and also captured the view from above with our own digital camera.
父がしたい!と言った一言で父と一緒にパラセーリングをしました。担当してくれた方は少し日本語が出来る方で私と父が親子と分かると父の事をPapaって呼んだり、一回水ボチャンをしたりととても楽しかったです。SDカードで撮ってくれた写真を30ドルで買うのですが(ほしい人は)、100枚前後入っているのでお得かと思います。
私達はSDカードも買って、携帯でも次の人に撮ってもらって、自分のデジカメで上からの景色も撮りました。

We challenged ourselves to the longest 150m ride as a family. At first, I thought it might be too high, but once I jumped, it wasn't that bad and felt really good. It seems that up to three people can ride together. The view was amazing!
I did feel a bit nauseous because it swayed quite a bit. The boat was also moving fast, so those who are prone to motion sickness should be cautious.
Photos were available for $30, and tips were separate.
家族で一番長い150mに挑戦しました。最初は高すぎたかなと思いましたが飛んでみればそれほどでもなくとても気持ちかったです。3人まで一緒に乗れるみたいです。景色が最高でした!
結構左右に振られたので途中気持ち悪くなってしまいました。船の中でもスピードが出てましたので、酔いやすい人は要注意です。
写真は30ドルでチップは別でした。

I participated in a plan with hotel pickup on Sunday morning. A Japanese female staff member came to pick us up, and out of the 12 participants, 10 were Japanese.
At the beach, three staff members assisted us, so for beginners, joining a group is more than enough. When the waves came, they pushed the boards and signaled with simple Japanese phrases like "Paddle!" and "Stand up!" The lessons took place close to the shore where it was just shallow enough to stand. That said, we were in Hawaii, and there were plenty of waves for practice. After a while, some skilled participants were taken out to the ocean by one of the veteran staff members.
We were a couple in our 40s and 50s, the oldest participants. We usually exercise by hiking, but it required quite a bit of stamina. The other participants were mostly in their 30s, and you could clearly see who was tired and who wasn't. If you get tired, you can just float in the sea, but if you want to ride the waves, you obviously have to paddle out each time.
As mentioned in other experiences, there are no lockers for valuables. Everyone just places their belongings on a shelf in a visible area, but there always seem to be at least two staff members in the shop, and since it's a store, there are customers coming and going. It's best to bring only the minimum necessary, like some dollars for tips, to feel secure. There are no separate changing areas, so on the way back, you'll be putting clothes over your wet swimsuit. When I read about this in other reviews, I thought, "Oh no," but in the Hawaiian sun and atmosphere, it didn't bother me at all.
ホテル送迎付きのプランで、日曜の午前中に参加しました。日本人の女性スタッフが迎えに来てくれ、参加者12人中10人が日本人でした。
海では3人ものスタッフが付いてくれましたので、初心者にはグループ参加で十分です。波が来たらボードを押してくれ、「漕いでー!」「立ってー!」とカタコトの日本語で合図してくれます。レッスンは、ギリギリ、足で立てる岸辺に近い場所で行われます。だからと言ってそこはハワイ、練習には十分な波がきます。しばらくすると、上手な数人は、ベテランらしきスタッフの1人が沖まで連れて行ってくれていました。
当方40代と50代の夫婦で、最年長参加者でした。普段から登山をして運動しているのですが、相当な体力が要りました。他の皆さんは30代までですが、疲れている様子の人とそうでない人がはっきり分かれていました。疲れたらずっと海に漂っていればいい訳ですが、波に乗りたければ、当然、毎回パドリングして沖まで行かなければなりません。
他の体験談にもある通り、貴重品を入れるロッカーなどはありません。目立つ場所にある棚に全員の荷物を置くだけですが、お店にはいつも2人以上のスタッフが要るようですし、お店なのでお客さんの出入りもあります。最低限必要な、チップ用のドルだけを持って行かれると安心です。
仕切られた着替えるところもないので、帰りは濡れた水着の上に服を着て帰ります。他の体験談を読んだときは「えーっ」と思いましたが、ハワイの日差しと雰囲気では全く気になりませんでしたよ。

It was my first horseback riding experience, and the explanations during the car ride were very clear and included some humor, making it easy to understand. I was able to enjoy the ride.
I was worried about getting car sick due to the bad roads in Hawaii, but the driving was very careful, and I was able to sleep soundly on the way back, haha.
For your reference, it is mentioned that long pants are preferable, but since my legs didn't touch the horse's hair directly, shorts were fine as well. Large bags were not allowed.
Selfie sticks are not allowed, but they took photos along the coast, which made for great memories.
I love Hawaii even more now. I would like to participate in the horseback riding course again next time.
初めての乗馬経験でしたが、車の移動中にユーモアも交えながら丁寧に解説していただきとても分かりやすかったです。
楽しみながら移動が出来ました。
ハワイの道が悪く車酔いに心配していましたが…運転がとても丁寧で帰りは、熟睡できました笑
ご参考までに服装は、長ズボンが好ましいと記載がありますが、馬の毛に直接足が触れないのでショーパンでも問題なかったです。
鞄は大きすぎるものはNGでした。
自撮り棒はNGですが途中、海岸沿いで写真を撮ってくれるので記念になりました。
大好きなハワイが益々好きになりました。
次回も乗馬のコースへ参加したいと思います。

We participated as a couple.
The instructions were in English, but they explained everything in a way we could understand, and we enjoyed ourselves throughout.
After moving to the sea turtle point, we had plenty of fun snorkeling, and after getting out of the water, we went sailing towards Diamond Head. We were super excited to see sea turtles for the first time while sailing.
Even though we weren't far from the beach, there were a lot of sea turtles.
We were able to take pictures with the GoPro we brought.
The sailing was faster than we expected and felt really good; I'm so glad we participated.
(It was mentioned that fins would incur a fee, but it turns out there was no charge. In fact, I think without fins, unless you're very confident in your swimming, you would likely be swept away.)
夫婦で参加しました。
英語のみの案内でしたが、こちらが分かるように説明して下さり、終始楽しめました。
海亀のポイントまで移動してからたっぷりシュノーケリングを楽しみ、海から上がってからはダイヤモンドヘッドの方までセーリング。初めての海亀にセーリングに大興奮。
ビーチからそんなに離れていないのに、海亀もたくさんいました。
持参したgoproで撮影もできました。
セーリングは思った以上にスピードがありとても気持ち良く、参加出来て本当に良かったです。
(フィンは有料と記載がありましたが、お金はかからないそうです。
むしろフィンがないと余程泳ぎに自信がない限り、流されてしまうと思います。)
