I participated with my middle school daughter and our family of three. I was quite worried about our physical stamina, but once we decided to join, the instructions were very kind and easy to understand, which quickly dispelled my anxiety. It was definitely a plus that everything was conducted in Japanese. Our whole family was able to stand on the board, and we even had a video taken. It became a wonderful memory for our family.
中学生の娘と家族3人で参加しました。
体力的にも、だいぶ心配がありましたが、
思い切って参加してみると、とても親切にわかりやすく
説明していただけて、不安もすぐに吹き飛びました。
やはり、日本語で出来たのが良かったです。
家族全員ボードに立つことができ、ビデオも撮影してもらえました。家族の良い思い出になりました。

I was worried because I don't speak much English, but when I participated, the staff kindly served drinks, the view was amazing, and I had a wonderful experience. My family was the only Japanese there.

In the morning, I participated in a session with Japanese support. It seems that the waves were rough that day, and many people experienced seasickness on the boat ride to the submarine. However, once we submerged, the swaying eased, and I was able to observe the precious ecosystem off the coast of Waikiki, which was satisfying.
午前、日本語対応の回に参加しました。当日は波が荒かったようで、行きの船から潜水艦へ乗り込むまでに船酔いに遇われた方が多かったようです。それでも海中に潜れば揺れは和らぎ、ワイキキ沖の貴重な生態系を観察することができ、満足です。

This is my second time here. Last time, I didn't know what to expect, and I thought I could have enjoyed it more... but this time, I've figured it out.
On the day of arrival, I made a reservation from Japan and effectively used the time until I could check in and get into my room. It feels so good that I definitely end up taking a nap. This short nap is effective for overcoming jet lag, and when I wake up after the massage, I feel refreshed and energized, ready for a full day of activities.
For couples planning to visit, men should bring swimwear. While your girlfriend is getting her nails and hair done, you can enjoy the Hawaii sun and air while lounging on the poolside deck chair, admiring the young locals in their tight swimwear.
といっても今回2回目。前回は要領が分からなくて、あとになってもっと楽しめたのに…と思ったことを今回クリアー。
到着日に日本から予約、チェックインして部屋に入れるまでの時間を有効利用。
とても気持ちよくて、必ず寝てしまいます。このわずかな時間のお昼寝が時差ボケ解消に有効で、マッサージが終わって覚めた時にはスッキリ、シャッキリで、一日がフル活動できます。
カップルで行かれる方は、男性は水着を持参すること。彼女がネイルやヘアーメイクする間、付属のプールサイドデッキチェアーで、ピチピチの水着姿のヤングロコを眺めながら、ハワイの光と空気を満喫できます。

A close friend and I decided that we would each pick an event while visiting Oahu for 5 days. She wanted to do something under the ocean, and I wanted to do something OVER the ocean. After our parasailing trip, we both were AMAZED at how much fun and relaxing it was.
The staff were extremely helpful and comforting when it came to loading/unloading passengers, and they asked everyone if they wanted a brief "dip" towards the end of the flight. (You never get fully submerged in the ocean with the 'dip' but just get a little wet from the waist down.. it is WORTH IT). Everyone on the boat had a blast and on our way back to shore it started pouring rain.. which I LOVED. It was the epitome of a Hawaiian vacation. 82 degree weather and pouring rain with a rainbow.
As for the flight itself, it was extremely relaxing and the views were spectacular. I wouldn't have originally thought that flying 42 stories high would be soothing, but it was. VERY romantic idea for couples.

Thank you so much for my surfing experience! Four days was definitely not enough for me and I miss it already. You all were so kind and helpful. This was, by far, the best surfing experience I've had in all my attempts to learn. Because of that, I'm planning on picking up some classes out here in California once the weather gets better. So hopefully by the time I return next year, I'll be on a much smaller board =). You guys are awesome!

My two hours with Mito were such a highlight of my time on Oahu I am telling lots of people who are going to the islands that this is a "must do" activity. We had so much fun together and I actually was able to stand, sort of. I have balance problems and thought this was something I would try and enjoy, no expectation of success. I am still not the best in the balance arena, but I did stand on two feet without hands--an accomplishment for me and a credit to Mito's skill as a teacher.

The Beach on the North Shore tour was beautiful, very clean, and a refreshing change from Waikiki Beach. The waves were much stronger and had great surfing beaches along the way for those interested in that. Really enjoyed watching folks on that diving rock there. The ride was long, but the driver was very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable and relayed lots of information about Hawaii. The stroll through the small, older town with shops and eateries was unique. Loved the music provided by that musical family that lives there and entertains the tourists. A relief to see more enjoyable aspects of Oahu without the hassle of driving.

My girlfriend and I truly enjoyed the actual activity even if it was shorter than adverstised. We booked the Deluxe Parasailing which is supposed to last from 8-10 minutes and it only lasted less than 6 minutes...That I can live with, what I truly find upseting is the fact that the tour guide decided to make several political comments about Arizona's illegal immigration laws, and the governement. Regardless of where you stand on certain political issues; individuals representing Xtreme Parasailing should keep in mind that they're providing a fun and hospitable environment for their customers, expressing your opinion on a hot button political issue can create disagreements and while debating is the foundation of democracy, parasailing is certainly the wrong place and the wrong time to do it. I can speak for about 3 additional individuals who shared similar comments once the ride was over.

I participated with a friend.
Besides us, there was one couple and a group of four, all of whom were foreigners.
At first, they explained everything in English really quickly, and I couldn't understand what they were saying, but when it was our turn, they explained it in broken Japanese, so it was fine.
Once we were up, all we could hear was the sound of the wind.
It felt incredible to be floating in the sky.
The view was amazing!!
I couldn't participate much in the conversation since I don't speak much English, but when my friend got seasick and I told the staff, everyone else was worried too.
One girl in the group of four was really scared and kept saying, "I don't want to do this!!!" until the last minute, but we all encouraged her, and in the end, it seemed like she had a lot of fun.
I saw in reviews that it was better to have photos taken ($15), so I requested it.
I'm really glad I did!☆
友人と2人で参加しました。
私たち以外は、ご夫婦1組と、4人組のグループで、
全員外国人の方でした。

あまり英語が話せないので、会話にはちょっとしか参加できませんでしたが、
私の友人が船酔いしてしまい、スタッフにそれを伝えたら、
他のみんなも心配してくれてました。
4人グループ内の1人の女の子も、
ぎりぎりまで「やりたくない!!!」
と、かなり怖がっていましたが、みんなで励まして、
結局はかなり楽しかった様子で帰って行きました。

We did this "tour" on our second trip to Hawaii. It is a great opportunity to experience the North Shore on your own but still get the guided tour experience. This is a "tour" you could take multiple times and have a new experience every time. We loved the options and being able to choose our adventure once we got there.

I had a great time learning how to stand up paddle surf. The instructors are really good at what they do, and they make sure that you are comfortable going out into the ocean. Stand up paddling is a really good workout, because you are paddling, as well as, keeping your balance. You are getting a workout, but you are having a lot of fun, which makes the time and exercise fly by.

This time, I was able to participate at a discounted rate due to a campaign. This is my sixth time in Hawaii, but I had never been to a spa, so I was really looking forward to it. It was just a short walk from the Hawaii Prince where I was staying, so I went directly in casual clothes.
The Kalia Tower is one of the shorter buildings in the Hilton, but it has a very luxurious feel, and the reception staff were very accommodating. The attached jacuzzi looked very inviting, but due to time constraints, I changed into a bathrobe to receive my massage first.
When I moved to the massage floor via the elevator, the dim lighting and pleasant scent of oil created a cozy atmosphere. They brought me cold water, which helped me relax before the session started. I had requested the "Massage Around the World" for my mother who accompanied me, and when I asked if we could be in the same room, they kindly arranged it, which was a relief. However, once the massages began, we both fell into a deep sleep because it felt so good (laughs).
While it didn't quite match the skills of my regular massage therapist in Japan, I felt the quality was high. After the massage, it was time for the much-anticipated jacuzzi! Since it was after a holiday weekend, there weren't many people, so it was almost like having it all to myself. I enjoyed both the dry sauna and the mist sauna, and with the breeze coming in, it felt like an outdoor bath, which was incredibly relaxing.
I am very grateful to Alan1 for giving me this opportunity! (^^)
今回、キャンペーンでお安く参加することができました。
ハワイは6回目ですが、スパには行ったことがなくてとても楽しみにしておりました。
宿泊していたハワイプリンスから、歩いてすぐの場所でしたので、軽装で直行。
カリアタワーはヒルトンの中では背が低い方ですが、とても高級感があって、受付の方の対応もよかったです。
付属のジャグジーはとても気持ちがよさそうでしたが、時間の都合上先にマッサージを受けるためにバスローブに着替えました。
エレベーターで上階に移動すると、マッサージフロアは暗めの照明でオイルの心地よい香りが漂う居心地のよい空間になっています。
冷水を持ってきてくださり、始まる前もリラックスできました。
今回はついてきてくれた母には「マッサージアラウンドザワールド」をお願いしてあり、ダメ元で聞いてみたらわざわざ同室にしていただいてあり、ほっと一安心。
でも、お互いマッサージが始まったら気持ちよすぎて爆睡してしまいました(笑)
日本で普段通っているマッサージ師さんの腕には劣りましたが、質は高いと感じました。
マッサージ後はお待ちかねのジャグジー!
連休明けであまり人がいなかったので、ほぼ独り占め状態でした。
ドライサウナもミストサウナも楽しめ、外の風も入ってくるので、露天風呂状態でとっても癒されました。
このような機会を得ることができて、Alan1に大大大感謝です(^^)

The charm of this tour departing from Outrigger Reef on the Beach is that it starts from Waikiki Beach. The morning meeting time is early, but I think it's still manageable.
On the day of the tour, it was windy and the waves were high, but we were able to see various fish and even sea turtles while snorkeling. Unfortunately, we didn't encounter any dolphins. Still, it was a relaxing and enjoyable tour.
Also, when we participated, there were zero Japanese people. It's a rare tour where you can truly feel like you're on an overseas trip. The explanations were in English and included some humor, which I couldn't fully understand, but the captain was kind enough to explain slowly using just a few words for us.
Since the tour ends in the morning, you can participate in other tours, go shopping, or relax on the beach in the afternoon, making it a meaningful way to spend the day.
It was a recommended tour for going with friends and having a great time together.
アウトリガー・リーフ・オン・ザ・ビーチより出るこのツアーの魅力はワイキキビーチから出発ということです。
朝の集合時間は早いですが、それでも楽だと思います。
当日は風が強くて波も高かったですが、シュノーケリングでは色んな魚、ウミガメにも会えました。
残念なのは、イルカに遭遇できなかったこと。
それでものんびり楽しめるツアーです。
また、私たちが参加した時は日本人ゼロ。
「海外旅行に来た」と味わえる珍しいツアーです。
説明なども英語で笑いを取っていたようですが、理解できなかったりもしましたが、キャプテンは私たちには単語のみでゆっくり説明してくれる親切な方でした。
午前中に終わるツアーなので、午後からは他のツアーに参加したり、ショッピングに行ったり、ビーチでのんびりしたりもできるので、1日を有意義に使えると思います。
友達みんなでワイワイ行くのにオススメのツアーでした。

I didn't have high expectations because there was a lot of mainstream information, but I thought the quality of the therapists was surprisingly high.
Since the night flight arrives in the morning and takes about 6 hours, you end up entering Hawaii sleep-deprived. I think going to a spa like this on the first day is a good idea.
However, as a Japanese person, I have the mindset of a public bath, so I might be tempted to use all the facilities naked, but this is Hawaii. There are people of other races as well, so I think it's better to approach it with the mindset of using the hot water pool.
There were drinks and relaxing sofas available, and the amenities included paper underwear, which made it comfortable.
ちょっと大衆的な情報が多かったのであまり期待していなかったのですが、セラピストの質は意外と高いと思いました。
夜便で朝着というものの6時間程度でついてしまうので
やはり寝不足のままハワイにインしてしまうので
初日はこのようなスパに行くのは良いと思います。
ただ、日本人としては、スーパー銭湯的な発想があるので、若干すべての施設を裸で使ってしまいそうですが、ここはハワイ。他の人種の方もおられるので
温水プールの感覚で、行くのがよいと思いました。
ドリンクも、リラックスソファーもあり、
アメニティにも、紙パンツなどもあったので、快適でした。

So we took this cruise on our anniversary and it was a really cloudy and gray day. We didn't see any whales that day, but true to their word they issued a rain check. Luckily, we built in a flex day to our trip and were able to go again on Sunday. We saw three whales that day! It was an incredible experience. I definitely recommend this cruise!
