Oahu
I participated in whale watching for the first time. Searching for whales while enjoying the beautiful sea from a stable, clean boat was quite interesting. I was able to see the tails of whales, dolphins, and sea turtles, and I was particularly happy to see two whale tails side by side. The staff mentioned that during whale watching, it's more about catching a glimpse of the whale's back when it jumps rather than seeing the entire whale, which I had assumed would be the case. I thought the operating company was very sincere and a wonderful organization.
ホエールウォッチングにはじめて参加してみました。
揺れの少ない綺麗なボートで、綺麗な海を眺めながらのクジラ探しはなかなか面白かったです。
見れたのはクジラの尾ひれ、イルカ、海亀で、クジラの尾ひれが二頭並んで見れたのが嬉しかったです。
ホエールウォッチングは、クジラ全体が見えると言うよりは、運が良ければジャンプしたときにクジラの背などが見えるという感じだとスタッフの方が言っていました(クジラ全体が見えると思い込んでいました。
運営会社はとても誠実で素晴らしい会社だと思いました。
It seems that it's better to take motion sickness medication. There were also people who were feeling seasick.
酔い止めは飲んで行った方が良いようです。
船酔いしている人もいました。
My first time in Hawaii, I was worried about the wind and waves, constantly checking the weather forecast. There were some waves, and I got wet up to my knees when boarding, but once we set sail, the ride was smooth, and I experienced a wonderful sunset. I was able to see the whales spouting and their tails, and the unlimited Mai Tais made it all a great memory.
初めてのハワイ、風や波の心配があり、天気予報と睨めっこ。少々波はあり、乗船時に膝上まで濡れましたが、出港してからは揺れが少なく、素晴らしいサンセットを体験。クジラの潮吹き、尾まで見ることができたこと、飲み放題マイタイ、全てが良い思い出です。
If you're looking to enjoy snorkeling in Hawaii, I recommend this sea! The weather was cloudy, so I couldn't see the true blue of the ocean, but there were plenty of fish swimming around, which was a lot of fun. There is a dedicated shuttle car from the high point down to the beach, making it very convenient, although it might take some time to board if it's crowded. The beach in front of the hotel was also beautiful, but there weren't any fish swimming there, so I think it's worth coming here!
I don't speak much English, but I think it's fine to join an English tour if you use a translation app! Also, it might have just been a coincidence, but there were people on-site who spoke Japanese, which was reassuring! Next time, I want to participate when the weather is nice!
ハワイでシュノーケルを楽しむならこの海をおすすめします!
天気が曇りで本来の海の青さを見ることができませんでしたが、海の中はお魚がいっぱいで泳いでて楽しかったです。
高台から下のビーチまでは専用の移動カーがあり、とても楽でしたが、混雑していると乗るまで時間がかかるかもしれません。
ホテル前のビーチも綺麗で良かったですが、魚は1匹も泳いでいなかったので、ここに来る価値はあるかと思います!
英語はほとんど話せませんが、翻訳アプリを使えば英語ツアーでも大丈夫だと思います!
また、たまたまかもしれないですが、日本語が通じる方も現地におりましたので、心強かったです!今度は天気のいい時に参加したいです!
I think it would be helpful to check the meeting place in advance online so you won't feel rushed. Also, by researching the precautions for Hanauma Bay beforehand, you can enjoy it safely even if you
集合場所は事前にネット等で調べておくと焦らないかと思います。
またハナウマ湾での注意を事前に調べておくことで英語がわからなくても安全に楽しめるかと思います。
Friendly staff, great time!!
Aloha Beth,
Thank you for your 5-star review with your nice pictures! We are looking forward to seeing you again soon.
Mahalo,

First off the driver, Matthew was great, I couldn't find the pick up spot and he called me and got me there. My fault, I get lost crossing the street. It was rainy, but the place was packed for the 6:15 am trip. 2vhours is more than enough to hike to the top and take pictures along the way. Thank you for a wonderful experience!
It was so much fun, and I'm really glad I did it! For those who are hesitating, you absolutely should experience it! ✨ A few years ago, I couldn't do it, and it had been on my mind ever since. So, during this trip to Hawaii, I decided that no matter what, I would go skydiving!
At 6:40 AM, a shuttle arrived to pick us up in Waikiki. After stopping at two locations, there were a total of 10 of us in the van. We arrived at the site in about an hour. There were various languages being spoken in the van, which added to the experience (Japanese, Chinese, American).
Upon arrival, we checked in and entered the necessary information on an iPad. Once that was done, we waited on a bench. *I got bitten by a bug during this time, so it might be good to have something like Muhi (anti-itch cream) on hand.
When it was our turn, my name was displayed on a board, and the instructor helped me put on the gear. The person assisting me would be the one jumping with me. I was worried because I didn't understand English well, but the instructors are used to dealing with Japanese participants, so it was fine.
After that, we boarded the Cessna and went up into the sky. I enjoyed the view while waiting excitedly for the moment 💓. After that, I just had to trust the instructor and jump together. Make sure to keep your eyes open and enjoy the beautiful sky and ocean of Hawaii! ✨ After the parachute opens, they will even teach you a bit about steering.
I recommend taking photos and videos (I keep looking back at them with nostalgia). I was surprised that the instructor was wearing sandals, but since they are experienced, I felt safe until landing (*•̀ᴗ•́*)👍. Once everyone had completed their dives, they took us back to Waikiki.
We arrived at the hotel around 11:40 AM, so it felt like we spent the whole morning on this adventure. I hope everyone gets to have a fun experience too! ✨
楽しすぎて本当にやって良かったー♬.*迷っている方は絶対!絶対体験した方が良いです✨
数年前に訪れた時、やれなかったのがずっと心残りで、今回のHawaii旅行では何がなんでもスカイダイビングはやろう!と決めて参加しました。
その際、ベルトラの体験談がとても参考になったので、どなたかの参考になれば幸いです。
6時40分にワイキキへ送迎車が来てくれました。その後2箇所経由してバンには計10名で乗り合わせ。1時間ほどで現地に着きました。車内では色んな言葉が飛び交っておりこれも良い体験になりましたw(日本人、中国人、アメリカ人)
到着後、受付し、iPadで必要事項の入力。終わったらベンチがあるのでそこで待機。
※この時虫に刺されました💦【ムヒ】などあると良いでしょう。
順番になると掲示板に自分の名前が表示され、インストラクターの方が器具を装着してくれます。この時対応してくれる方が一緒に飛んでくださる方になります。英語が分からなくて不安でしたが、インストラクターの方も日本人の対応に慣れているので大丈夫です。
その後セスナに乗り込んで上空まで。景色を楽しみながらワクワクドキドキその時を待ちます💓
後はインストラクターに任せて一緒に飛ぶだけ(^^)
目を閉じないように、Hawaiiの綺麗な空と海をちゃんと楽しんでください✨
パラシュートが開いてからは軽く操縦も教えてくれますよ
写真とビデオ撮影おすすめします。(余韻で見返してますw)
インストラクターがサンダルだったのでビックリしましたが、ベテランの方でしょうから着地まで安心して大丈夫です(*•̀ᴗ•́*)👍
同乗者全員のダイブが終わりましたらワイキキまで送迎してくれます。
11時40分頃ホテルに着いたので、ざっと午前中いっぱいの感じでした。
皆様も楽しい体験を是非✨

All of our kids loved it here, they had smiles on their faces all days thanks to the PCC staff!
Luau was awesome, and the shuttle to the luau is so convenient!
If you do not want to drive this tour is perfect for some time to explore the gorgeous Haleiwa!
The day is a very busy one, be prepared for a lot of activities, it is almost hard to hit everything in a day but the ticket does allow you to come back for the day touring!
Wonderful guide (forgot his name!) a great day around island for not wanting to driveit!
Listen to when people tell you to go for the ATV tour, what a perfect way to see Kualoa!
Short and sweet while you get a preset ticket to Arizona which is awesome.
Convenient, and the driver was a good chat on the island.
Really wonderful to upgrade to this awesome dinner schedule
A great day filled with so many awesome local spots and businesses!
These horses are treated with love you can tell! They were very calm during our ride.
Not only do you get a great show you get a great laugh throughout - perfect balance!
The main grounds of the park have so many different areas to check out, the day is certainly filled with information of all that happened that day!
Sunset views from the deck were absolutely stunning, and the buffet had a great variety of delish foods!
Overall a fun night out with great food, beautiful scenery, and an unforgettable show.
This tour was awesome - the waterfall is breathtaking and I loved being able to take my time, enjoy the scenery, and snap great photos along the way
On top of the ATV part, I enjoyed learning more about the land and local agriculture.
Instructor was extremely patient as well as encouraging which definitely made me feel completely comfortable as a beginner
Aloha ʻo Kara,
We are so glad to hear that you had a great time during your Private Surf Lesson. That you felt comfortable, safe, and encouraged by our team! Our teams first priority is your sense of safety and comfortability, and we are so happy to hear that is what you felt. We hope to see you back on the water with us soon!

It was great, it's just that the ocean wasn't cooperating that day but the crew and ride were very good. If the waves were bigger it would have been awesome.
Aloha,
Mahalo for sharing your feedback and for joining us on the water. We’re truly pleased to hear that you enjoyed our crew and the overall ride experience.
As much as we would love to curate perfect conditions every day, weather and ocean patterns are entirely out of our control. Conditions can shift quickly and are guided solely by nature. For this reason, our experienced watermen carefully evaluate the environment prior to each departure to ensure that safety always remains the highest priority.
While we cannot influence the elements, we remain deeply committed to delivering a safe, professional, and memorable experience through the service and care of our team. We would be grateful if you might reconsider your rating based on the service and hospitality provided by our crew, rather than the natural conditions that were beyond our control.
We sincerely appreciate your time and hope to welcome you back again soon.
I had a great time; I just wish the weather had been better. It's a shame I didn't get to see any dolphins or whales. I will participate again if I have the chance.
大変楽しかった、ただ天気が良ければ尚良かったと思った。イルカ、クジラは見れず残念。また機会があれば参加します。
Our weather want great but they still made sure we had a fantastic time. Highly recommend
Aloha Katie,
Thank you so much for your 5 star review. We are very happy to hear that you enjoyed your tour with us.
We are looking forward to seeing you again soon!
Mahalo,

We were looking for a dinner where we could enjoy a traditional Hawaiian show, as per our family's wishes. Usually, luau events are held away from Waikiki, but this one was conveniently located at the Hyatt in the city center, making it perfect for us since we had plans during the day!
Additionally, the buffet menu was excellent, and I believe even our family members who are not accustomed to international flavors enjoyed the meal!
As for the show itself, we were very satisfied with the ukulele performances and hula dancing at each table, as well as the opportunity to go up on stage for a hula dance experience and receive leis and kukui nuts!
If you're looking for a luau in Waikiki, I highly recommend this plan!
家族の希望で、ハワイの伝統的なショーが見られるディナーを探していました。
ルアウの開催地はワイキキから離れていることが多いのですが、こちらは中心地のハイアットで開催されていますので、日中に予定があった私たちにぴったりでした!
また、ビュッフェのメニューも申し分なく、海外の味に慣れていない家族も食事を楽しんでいたと思います!
肝心のショーについては、テーブルごとにウクレレ演奏&フラダンスや、ステージに上がってフラダンス体験、レイやククイのプレゼントがあったりと大変満足でした!
ワイキキ市内でのルアウをお探しならぜひお勧めしたいプランです!
For couples or those celebrating special occasions, there were fresh flower leis as gifts and live performances, so I highly recommend actively inquiring about them!
カップルやお祝い事がある方には生花のレイのプレゼントと生演奏がありましたので、積極的に申し出ることをオススメします!
Wonderful evening!
Delicious dinner, polite efficient staff
Wonderful. It was really great. That's all I can say.
Seeing it up close made a huge difference in the impact. I really hope you get to experience this feeling.
素晴らしい。ほんとに良かったです。その一言です。
間近で見れたので迫力が違いました。この感動を是非体験してほしいと思います。
I definitely think you should see this when you go to Hawaii.
ハワイに行ったら是非見てほしいと思います。
