The underwater world spreads out in the ocean. You can enjoy the waters of Waikiki. Personally, riding in a submarine was a great experience.
海中のアンダーワールドが広がります。ワイキキの海の中を楽しめます。個人的には潜水艦に乗ること自体が良い体験となりました。

The Surf Bus tour to the North Shore was the best tour that we took. Our driver Justin was awesome. On the tour of the island he was very knowledgable and pointed out lots of things that we would have missed if we had just taken a rental car. This tour also gave us lots of options as far as activities and a choice of beaches to spend time at. Waimea Bay was the best beach on the island and the jumping rock was a lot of fun. I would recomend this tour to anyone!

I requested to add more people at the last minute, and they kindly accommodated us, allowing everyone to enjoy themselves. I thought we would only see fish, but we were also able to see a significant number of sea turtles swimming, which was a valuable experience.

It was my first time in Hawaii, and I'm really glad I signed up for this tour. The weather was fantastic, and since it started at 9:00 AM, it felt great to fly and have a stunning view of Honolulu.
We went out to sea on a boat, and from there, they took us flying. The guy driving the boat and the one preparing the equipment were both very kind and quite playful. Although they didn't speak Japanese, I had a great time.
If you haven't tried it yet, I definitely recommend experiencing it at least once. It's highly recommended!
初めてのハワイでしたが、このツアーに申し込んで本当に良かったです。
天気がスゴく良く、朝9:00からだったので飛んだ時にとても気持ちがよくホノルルが一望できて最高でした。
ボートで沖まで出て、そこから飛ばしてくれるのですが、船を運転するお兄さんも用具を準備してくれるお兄さんもとても親切でとってもお茶目な人たちでした。日本語は通じませんがとても楽しめました。
やった事のない方は、ぜひ一度体験してみて下さい。

This is my first trip to Hawaii for a 3-night, 5-day company trip.
Since it's only 3 nights, I thought it would be a waste not to make the most of it! So, I decided to challenge myself to surfing starting from the afternoon of the day I arrived!!!
It's my first time surfing.
The instructor only spoke in English, so to be honest, I was quite nervous...
But with simple Japanese, they guided me to paddle and stand up, saying things like "OK!!!!"
However, they pushed me at the right timing with the waves, so even though it was my first time, I was able to stand up!!
It was so moving!!! So much fun...!!
After returning to Japan, I can't forget that joy, and I'm planning to start surfing!
3泊5日の 社員旅行で 初の HAWAIです。
3泊だから もったいない!!遊び倒さなきゃって 思い
到着した日の 午後から サーフィンに 挑戦!!!
初の サーフィンです。
インストラクターが 英語でしか しゃべれないから 正直
かなりあせりましたが・・・・
簡単な日本語で 漕いで漕いで 立って立って
OK!!!!見たいな感じで・・・
でも うまいこと 波のタイミングで 押してくれるから
初めてなのに 立てることが出来ました!!
感動!!!たのしい・・・・!!
日本に帰ってから あの 楽しさが 忘れらんなくて
はじめるつもりでーす!!

I was told by a friend that it would be better to move by taxi, but after trying this trolley, which is not available in Japan, I can say it was refreshing and pleasant. I took the Blue Line to Hanauma Bay. I also frequently used the Pink Line for shopping.

As soon as we arrived in Hawaii, my friend and I experienced it together. It was definitely expensive! But the scenery and the ocean were beautiful, and we could see Diamond Head clearly.
There were mostly white tourists, and the instructors couldn't speak Japanese. However, the explanations were easy to understand, so we could enjoy the experience with peace of mind. My friend and I were the only Japanese people there, but that made me feel like I was really on a trip, which was great.
ハワイに着いて早々、友人と二人で体験しました。

This is my second time taking surfing lessons here, and rather than wanting to take the lessons, I join the class for safety reasons in various ways when I'm alone. It can be dangerous with rocks and coral, but the instructors keep an eye on us and teach us. If you zone out, you might get scolded...
The photographer is capturing the lesson scenes, so if you're interested in having a memory, you can purchase them. By the way, it was about $30 plus tax for one lesson's worth.
こちらでサーフィンレッスンを受けるのは2回目で、レッスンを受けたいというより、いろんな意味で安全なので、ひとりのときは必ずクラスに入ってます。岩やサンゴで危なかったりもしますよね、ちゃんと先生が見張ってて教えてくれます。ぼーっとしてると、叱られたりもしますけど・・・
カメラマンさんが、レッスン風景を撮影してくれてますので、思い出に・・・と思う方は購入出来ますョ。ちなみに、1レッスン分入ってて30ドル+税ぐらいでした。

I went to Hawaii during Golden Week. My husband and I took a three-hour lesson. My husband has been surfing for seven years, and I was a beginner, but he took me to a beach near Ala Moana where there were few people, and we both had a great time.
There were six people in our group, and we had two super cute Japanese instructors, which was an incredible luxury for me to have a surf lesson in Japanese in Hawaii as a beginner. They were gentle when we entered the water and encouraged me, who lacks stamina, so I was able to take the lesson with peace of mind.
My husband really liked the beach with no people, and when he mentioned that he wanted to surf there again the next day, they kindly brought the surfboard to Ala Moana Beach for our lesson the next day. He was very satisfied that he could surf outside of Waikiki without renting a car.
I definitely want to request this again next time.
ゴールデンウィークにハワイに行ってきました。
主人と3時間レッスンを受けました。
主人はサーフィン歴7年、私は初心者でしたが、アラモアナの方のビーチまで車で連れて行ってくれ、人も少なく主人も私も思う存分楽しめました。
6名のグループでしたが、日本人の超カワイイインストラクターが2人付いてくれて、初心者の私にはハワイで日本語のサーフレッスンが受けられるなんて最高に贅沢でした。
海に入っても優しく、そして体力のない私を励ましてくださり、安心してレッスンを受けることができました。
主人はこの人のいないビーチがすごく気に入り、次の日もここのビーチでサーフィンをしたいと言ってみると、
次の日のレッスンに合わせて、サーフボードをアラモアナのビーチまで持ってきて下さいました。
レンタカーを借りずにワイキキの海以外でサーフィンができ、大満足の様子でした。
次回も是非お願いしたいと思います。

We participated as a family of six. This was my second time parasailing, but everyone else was experiencing it for the first time. The women were particularly scared, but once we were up in the air, we were all amazed to see the city of Waikiki from nearly 100 meters high! The feeling of flying over the deep blue sea was truly indescribable. The staff were all cheerful and playful, which helped ease our nerves, and we appreciated that.

My husband and I went parasailing for the 1st time.
ALL WE CAN SAY IS THAT IT WAS PROBABLY THE BEST THING WE DID WHILE WE WERE IN OAHU!
There were 3 men who took us to this extreme ride.
(A captain, a parasail instructor, and another guy who helped) and they were all awsome! Very friendly, knowledgable guys who made us feel comfortable from start to finish. The parasail instructor, we forgot his name, also took our pics from the boat while we were on the ride and after developing them, took some great shots! He was great! By the way, they will offer to take a roll of pics for you and it's $15 for the whole 24 exposure film.
Some reviews seem to complain about tipping and how they felt uncomfortable that there were signs up almost begging for tips. It was totally not like that in our case. Sure, it did say "TIPS ARE ALWAYS WELCOME" butin no way did it seem unappropriate. They totally deserved our tip!
The ride itself was breathtaking... we went so high up (1000 ft, i beleive? it

This was a very nice dinner cruise. It wasn't too long and it delivered on a great sunset.
The food was delicious too. We did the 1 Star package which came with crab legs, steak and mashed potatoes. Everything was better than I had expected it to be. It came with a complimentary Mai Tai which was also very good.
The Hawaiian music was good and the dancers were a lot of fun. My hubby and I got a really nice photo from them too.
I would recommend this to any couple looking for a little romance on their trip to Hawaii.

I participated because I wanted to ride on a yacht rather than a large ship.
The floor of the yacht is netted, allowing you to see the ocean! (Of course, there are also seats that are not netted.)
When the wind blows, ocean spray hits you and it's chilly, but that's part of the fun.
You can order alcohol and soft drinks, and I enjoyed sipping a margarita while relaxing and gazing at the vast ocean under the blue sky. It felt wonderful!
I was lucky enough to see a lot of dolphins.
Not all the participants were Japanese, but the guide spoke Japanese, so there were generally no issues.
For those who might get seasick, it could be a concern, but the participation fee isn't too high, so I highly recommend it for anyone wanting to feel the Hawaiian breeze!
大きな船ではなくヨットにのりたくて参加しました。
ヨットの足元はネット状になっていて、海が見られます!

アルコールやソフトドリンクもオーダーでき、

I stayed at a hotel on the outskirts of Waikiki, very close to the Honolulu Zoo, and I found this spa while looking for one nearby! I chose it mainly because it was close, and I was extremely satisfied. According to the staff who attended to me, most of the estheticians are veterans from famous spas. They focused on the areas that needed attention, and the service was outstanding, taking care to consider my comfort during the treatment. I felt that resetting both my mind and body with a massage made my stay in Hawaii much more enjoyable, rather than dragging the fatigue from my work in Japan.
ワイキキ動物園のすぐ近く、ワイキキの外れのホテルに滞在だったので、近くのスパを探していて見つけました!
近いからという理由で選んだのですが、満足度は大!です。担当してくれたスタッフの方のお話では、ほとんどのエステティシャンが有名スパ出身でベテランばかりだそうです。
こっているところは重点的にやっていただけたし、こちらの様子に気遣いしながらの施術でサービス抜群です。
やっぱり日本での仕事の疲れをひきずっての滞在より、いちどマッサージで心身ともにリセットするとハワイがもっと楽しめる気がしました!

I originally started shortboarding in Japan, but I struggled with takeoff. I felt some resistance to lessons in Japan, so I thought I would participate in Hawaii instead.
As a man, I wondered how it would be with only female instructors, but the atmosphere was quite friendly and pleasant. The instructor was, of course, beautiful (laughs). The lessons were tailored to my level, and the teaching was both theoretical and easy to understand, allowing me to grasp the concepts during the lesson! Of course, I worked on perfecting my takeoff as well!
As soon as I returned to Japan, I challenged myself on the shortboard and was able to take off right away!
I finally became a surfer. Thank you, instructor Yu-ko!!

It was a day with very strong winds. I was prepared to get wet, but it was beyond what I expected. I think it would be better to participate in a swimsuit. It was a lot of fun, but rather than elegant sailing, it felt like an exhilarating banana boat ride.
However, I had some trouble finding the check-in, as it was at the beach behind the Outrigger Hotel. I was looking for someone dressed appropriately, but in reality, there was just an ordinary guy sitting under a beach umbrella. The boarding area was about 50 meters away from there, and it might be more accurate to say it was near the beach in front of the Halekulani Hotel.
Additionally, I was informed on-site that the sailing would start 30 minutes late. As expected, it's Hawaii time! If you have plans after sailing, I think it's good to be aware that such things can happen.
風がとても強い日の参加となりました。
ぬれることは覚悟でしたが・・・・半端じゃなかったです。
水着で参加するほうがいいと思います。
とても楽しいですが、優雅にセーリングというより、スリル満点のバナナボートって感じでした。
ただ、チェックインは、アウトリガーホテル裏のビーチでの受付だということで、受付の人を探すのに手間取りました。
それらしい格好をした人を探していたのですが、実際は、砂浜のパラソルの下に普通のおじさんが座ってるんです。乗船する場所は、そこから50メートルくらい離れていて、ハレクラニホテル前ビーチのそばという方が正確かもしれません。
それから、セーリング開始が30分遅れになることを現地で聞かされました。さすが、ハワイ時間!セーリングの後に何か予定を組まれる方は、こんなこともあるので、注意された方がいいかと思います。
