Kualoa Ranch / 1-Hour Horseback Riding Experience
This tour is extremely popular, and although I originally hoped for a 2-hour tour, we couldn't secure a reservation, so we participated in the 1-hour tour!
Each person is assigned a horse by the staff, and they pair us up. I was really happy to be matched with a beautiful chestnut horse.
The horses are very intelligent and follow the horse in front of them. So, even as a beginner, I felt completely safe!
Amidst the magnificent scenery, the sound of the horses' hooves, the breeze, and the fresh air were truly amazing. Next time, I want to make a reservation early and join the 2-hour course!
クアロア牧場/乗馬体験1時間
とっても大人気のツアーということもあり、本当は2時間のツアーが希望でしたが予約がとれず、私達は1時間のツアーへ参加しました!
一人一人に係の方が馬を選んで下さり、ペア決めをしていきます。私は栗毛がとっても綺麗な馬に当たりとっても嬉しい気持ちになりました。
馬は本当に頭が良く、前の馬に習って後を歩きます。
なので初心者でも全く怖くなかったです!
壮大な景色の中、馬の足音と風と空気も澄んでいて本当に最高でした。次は早めに予約をとって2時間コースに参加したいです。

It was my first experience skydiving. I participated in a tour during a student trip. I was able to have an exhilarating experience in the extraordinary setting of Hawaii, filled with tension and excitement. The instructor was also kind and managed to break the ice with humorous lectures for the nervous participants. I definitely want to experience it again.
スカイダイビング初体験でした。
学生旅行でのツアー参加です。ハワイという非日常的なシチュエーションでの緊迫感、高揚感ある体験をできました。
インストラクターの方も親切で、緊張しているツアー参加者をユーモアあるレクチャーでアイスブレイクもできました。
ぜひまた体験したいです。

I started off worried because I made a mistake with the pickup location for the shuttle, which caused inconvenience for the participants and staff. However, I was the only one participating in the SUP, and instructor Mieko taught me one-on-one! We crossed the sea to the island, and although I tried to stand up several times, I ended up falling in the water. I realized that getting back on the board requires a lot of strength, and I reflected on my lack of exercise lately.
Once we landed on the island, Mieko taught me about the island's ecosystem and took some photos for me. Before I knew it, the lesson was over. For lunch, I chose the recommended garlic-heavy pizza and I'm writing this experience while eating. I'll relax on the beach until the afternoon shuttle.
送迎のピックアップの場所を間違えて、参加者の皆さんやスタッフの皆さんに迷惑をかけたところからスタートしたので、どうなることかと心配しましたが、SUP参加者は私だけでインストラクターのミエコさんがマンツーマンで教えてくれました!
島まで海を渡っていくのですが、何回か立ち上がるけど、ドボンと落水…。ボードに乗り上げるのも体力いるんだと、日々の運動不足を反省しました。
島に上陸してからは、ミエコさんに島の生態系を教えてもらったり、写真を撮ってもらったり。
あっという間にレッスン終了してしまいました。ランチはオススメのガーリック強めのピザを選び、食べながらこの体験談を書いてます。
午後の送迎まではビーチでまったりします。

I participated with my mother (75 years old). Even seniors and beginners can enjoy a full hour and a half of horseback riding safely and happily. The female guide is very friendly. She also takes photos along the way (with your own smartphone or camera). You can experience walking on the sandy beach and through the "salad bar" (pasture, as the guide metaphorically describes it, since the horses love to eat grass), truly feeling like you're horseback riding in Hawaii! I definitely want to participate again.
母(75歳)と参加しました。
シニアで初心者でも安心に楽しく1時間半たっぷり乗馬出来ます。
ガイドの女性もとてもフレンドリーです。
途中で写真も撮ってくれます。(自分のスマフォ、又はカメラにです)
砂浜を歩いたり、サラダバー(牧草地、馬が草を食べたがるので。ガイドさんの比喩です)を歩いたりで正にハワイで乗馬してる!!という感じを体験できます。

I participated with my 2-year-and-11-month-old son. At first, he was scared, but as he got used to it, he started exploring the inside of the boat and enjoyed sitting and lying down on the net at the front. We also encountered a pod of dolphins multiple times, and there were dolphins that showed off their jumps and spins, which made my son very excited! It was a satisfying cruise, not only because of the beautiful views of Diamond Head and the ocean from the boat but also for the chance to meet the dolphins.
2歳11ヶ月の息子と二人で参加しました。
息子は最初は怖がっていたけれど、慣れてくると船内を散策し始め、前方のネットの部分にも座ったり寝転んだりして楽しんでいました。
また、イルカの群れに何度も遭遇し、ジャンプや回転ジャンプを見せてくれるイルカもいて、息子も大はしゃぎでした!
船上からのダイヤモンドヘッドや海の美しい眺めだけでなく、イルカにも出会えて大満足のクルーズでした。

I was torn between another cruise and this one until the very end, but choosing this one was the right decision. The other cruise ships had different floors depending on the rank, and it seemed that the cheaper ranks had cramped seating and were difficult to move around in. Perhaps because it was a weekday, this cruise ship had spacious floors that we could enjoy. Inside, we had a delicious buffet, and afterwards, I was able to enjoy a cocktail that I ordered for an extra charge while taking in the sunset on the deck with my friends. Additionally, there were Japanese staff members, which made me feel at ease. After the sunset, everyone was dancing and having fun to the live ukulele band inside. The music from inside was also connected to speakers on the deck, and the foreign girls on the deck were singing along while dancing lightly. The ship was beautiful, and I was very satisfied.
もう一隻のクルーズと最後まで迷いましたが
こちらにして正解でした。
他社のクルーズ船はランクによって階がちがい

It was the perfect day to go sailing. It was raining a lot for the past couple days so I was happy that the weather cleared up when we went. Sunny weather, relaxing Hawaiian music playing while sipping on Maitais. A wonderful way to spend a Sunday afternoon.
For the toilet, it is your standard boat toilet where you have to go down a ladder through a narrow tunnel to get to the toilet. Luckily, I didn't drink too much so I didn't have to use the bathroom during our 90-minute sail.
Overall, I had a great time and would love to go again!

PCC was a lot of fun and had so many different things to do. This was my third time coming to the center. I got there at noon, had their lunch buffet, and visited a few islands before seeing the new canoe show. Huki replaces the canoe pageant and is a lot more elaborate: there's a narration, music, and many more canoes in the water. The show as a whole is a lot more impressive, just make sure you get there early to get good seats in the shade.
After the canoe show we went to a few more villages (Samoa, Fiji, Tonga) before having our fancy prime rib dinner. I preferred the setting of the fine dining option to the luau dinner, as it was quieter and they have ice cream. Crab legs were also a bonus. After dinner, I had an hour or so to spend at the Hukilau Marketplace before the night show, so I browsed around. The night show was great. It put together things from every village presentation along with music, lights, and a longer story that connects all of it. The show is pretty long though, so use the bathroom beforehand (no intermissions).
PCC is a fun way to spend a day in Hawaii and learn a lot about Polynesian culture. Even if you've been there before like me, there's always something new to see or try!

We visited Hawaii as a family for my sister's wedding, participating in a sunset sailing tour with my family (children aged 11 and 5), my brother's family (children aged 7 and 4), and our parents (over 60). Everyone, including my parents, was very satisfied and enjoyed the tour. To help those who will participate in the future, I will share my experience step by step.
(1) "Reservation"
I made the reservation through the VELTRA website. There were no particular issues, and the application process was straightforward. Since there were 10 family members participating, I made the reservation as early as possible. I believe changes to the number of participants or cancellations were possible, so I recommend making an early reservation.
(2) "Check-in (on the day)"
We participated around late November. Since we were informed that the check-in time was at 4:30 PM, we made sure to arrive 15 minutes early. However, we had some time to spare before boarding (I can't remember the exact time, but it was around 4:45 PM or 5 PM), which made us feel a bit idle. The meeting point was a small beach near the Sheraton, and if the wait is long, it might get boring. If you know the exact meeting location, I think it's fine to head there right at the check-in time (4:30 PM).
(3) "Boarding"
We boarded the yacht that was docked at the beach near the Sheraton Hotel. As stated on the voucher, you will need to climb three steps of a ladder from the beach, so your lower legs will almost certainly get wet. It's better to wear clothes that won't be a problem if they get wet, as my family had someone who wore long pants because I forgot to mention this, and they had to roll up their pants to board.
(4) "Start of sailing"
Once on board, two crew members explained various things in English. They spoke quite fluently, so it was difficult to understand everything, but here are the main points:
1. It's fine to walk on both ends of the yacht's bow.
2. The central part of the yacht's bow is dangerous, so do not move there.
3. All drinks are unlimited! (Note: While the tour reservation states "unlimited drinks," the voucher mentions that ID (passport or international driver's license, etc.) will be required for alcohol purchases, which can be a bit confusing, but it is indeed "unlimited drinks"!)
(5) "During sailing"
During the sailing, you are not required to stay seated and can move around freely. When we participated, there were quite a few people, and the seats were full (probably because it was the day before Thanksgiving). Also, I think the participants were about half Japanese and half foreigners. The atmosphere on the yacht was relaxed, allowing for enjoyable conversations with other participants, which was very fun. Additionally, there is a restroom on the yacht, located below deck. It was a bit cramped, but we could use it without any issues.
(6) "Disembarking"
When disembarking, you will also get a bit wet, just like when boarding, so please be careful. It may also be a bit dark, so watch out if you have children with you. As for tips, I think you can hand them to the crew members when you disembark.
妹の結婚式のため家族でハワイへ訪れ、私の家族(子供11歳、5歳)、兄の家族(子供7歳、4歳)、両親(60歳以上)でサンセットセーリングに参加しました。両親含め、全員大満足でツアーを楽しむことができました。 これから参加する方のため、順を追って体験談を書き残しておきます。 (1)"予約時" 予約はVELTRAのサイトから実施しました。特に悩むところもなく申し込みできました。 家族10名の参加だったため、できるだけ早く申し込んでおきました。 予約人数の変更やキャンセルも可能だったと思いますので、早めの予約をお勧めします。 (2)"チェックイン時(当日)" 参加したのは11月下旬ごろでした。 チェックイン時間は16時半と事前に連絡があったため、15分前に到着するように移動しました。 ただ、乗船時間(16時45分?17時?正確な時間は忘れました)まで、時間があり、時間を持て余しました。 集合場所は、シェラトンのそばの小さなビーチで、待ち時間が長いと退屈してしまうかもしれません。 集合場所が正確にわかっているのであれば、チェックイン時間(16時半)ちょうどに向かっても問題ないと思います。 (3)"乗船時" シェラトンホテルそばのビーチに、ヨットが停まっているため、そのヨットに乗船することになります。 バウチャーに記載の通り、ビーチから3段のはしごを上ることになるため、ほぼ確実に膝下は濡れます。 バウチャーの通り、膝下が濡れても問題ない服装で参加するようにしたほうがいいです。 私の家族は、私が伝えそびれていて、長ズボンで参加する人もいて、ズボンを巻き上げて乗船しなければならくなってしまいました。 (4)"セーリング開始時" 乗船すると、船員(2名)が英語で、いろいろと説明してくれます。 かなり流暢な英語で説明されるので、すべて理解するのは難しいですが、ポイントは次の通りかと思います。 ①ヨット先端の両端は歩いて移動しても問題ない。 ②ヨット先端の中央部は危ないので、移動しないこと。 ③お酒すべて飲み放題! (※)ツアー予約時は「飲み放題」とありますが、バウチャーに「アルコール購入の際はID(パスポートや国際免許証等)の提示が求められます。」と記載されており、少し混乱しますが、「飲み放題」です! (5)"セーリング中" セーリング中は、座席に座っている必要はなく、自由に動くことが可能です。 私たちが参加したときは、かなり多くの方が参加しており、座席は満席でした(サンクスギビングデーの前日だったからだと思います)。 また、参加者は、半数は日本人、半数は外国人、という感じだったと思います。 ヨット上で自由な雰囲気なので、ほかの参加者の方とも楽しく会話でき、非常に楽しかったです。 なお、ヨット内にはトイレが設置されていますのでご安心ください。トイレはヨットの地下にありました。少し狭いですが、問題なく使うことができました。 (6)"下船時" 下船時も、乗船時と同じく少し濡れてしまうので、気を付けてください。 また、少し暗くなっているので、お子様連れの場合は気を付けてあげてください。 また、チップについては、下船時に船員の方にお渡しすればいいと思います。

The sea on the day was in optimal condition for snorkeling, but unfortunately, due to the high tide, the visibility was lacking, and I couldn't see the fish clearly. I only spotted one small turtle. This is just a natural phenomenon, so there's nothing that can be done about it. However, there were many positives, such as the preparation of equipment, thorough explanations, and not having to wait to get to the beach. The staff worked hard to help participants enjoy the experience by searching for fish and turtles, and I am very grateful for that. I think it's perfect for beginners. Thank you to the staff for your support.
当日の海はシュノーケルには最適な状態だったのですが残念ながら満ち潮だったため透明度にかけていてキレイにお魚を見ることはできませんでした。
亀さんも1匹小さい子が見えただけでした。
こればかりは自然現象なので仕方ないですね。

そしてスタッフの方々は参加者が楽しめるように一生懸命お魚や亀さんを探してくださり感謝でいっぱいです。
初心者には最適だと思います。
スタッフの方々お世話になりありがとうございました
Thank you for joining the tour.
During high tide, there can sometimes be an impact on visibility. I apologize for that.
However, it might be because of the high tide that you were able to see the turtles. The chances of seeing turtles are actually higher during high tide!
If you have the opportunity again, I hope you can join the tour during low tide next time. We are always waiting for you.
Thank you very much. Mahalo!!
この度はツアーにお越しいただき、ありがとうございます。
満ち潮の時にはどうしても透明度に影響が出てしまうことがあるのです。ごめんなさいね。
ですが、満ち潮だからこそ、亀さんに会えたのかもしれません。満ち潮の時の方が亀さんに会える確率は上がるんですよ!
是非また機会がありましたら、次回は引き潮の時にツアーにお越しいただければと思います。いつでもお待ちしております。

I thought one hour of horseback riding would be too short, so I opted for the two-hour course. Depending on the reservation situation that day, there was about an hour of waiting time after arriving by shuttle bus until the horseback riding assembly time, so I looked around the shop and took photos with the horses while waiting.
Once the horseback riding began, we went to the back of the vast grounds near the mountains and returned, but the guide did not provide any information about the filming locations at all; they only directed the horses that were lagging behind, and we just rode along while taking photos of the scenery. I ended up getting bored halfway through.
After the horseback riding ended, we had to wait for two hours until the scheduled bus departure time. The shop was small, so I had already seen everything during the hour before riding, and the restaurant had an unappealing "employee cafeteria" atmosphere, so I ended up just sitting and waiting. I think the waiting time can be quite tiring. I recommend that those who can rent a car meet at the location by car.
乗馬1時間は短すぎるかと思い、2時間コースにしました。
その日の予約状況で変動するかと思いますが、送迎バスで到着後、乗馬の集合時間まで1時間ほど時間があったので売店を見たり馬と写真を撮ったりして待ちました。
乗馬が始まって、広大な敷地の山の裏付近まで行くって戻ってくるのですが、ガイドさんは最後までロケ地の案内などする事は一切なく、遅れをとっている馬に指図するだけで私達は景色を見ながら写真を撮ってただ乗っているだけです。なので途中で飽きてしまいました。
乗馬終了後は支持されたバスの出発時間まで2時間もありました。売店は小規模なので乗馬前の1時間で見尽くしてしまいましたし、レストランも全く魅力的ではない”社員食堂”っぽい雰囲気なので結局座ってひたすら待っていました。
待ち時間で疲労が溜まると思います。
レンタカーを借りれる方はレンタカーで現地集合する事をお勧めします。

I rode a submarine for the first time! When I heard we would be at a depth of 30 meters, I thought it wouldn't be that deep. However, once we actually submerged, the scenery was completely different since we were underwater. It was very surreal.
Since we were sitting back-to-back, the people behind me seemed to get excited when they saw a whale, but I couldn't see anything from my side. On the way back, they said we might see it again since we would be turning around, but unfortunately, we didn't see anything.
初めて潜水艦に乗りました!
水深30メートルと聞いて、あまり深くないのかなぁという印象。

I was picked up at the hotel by the cheerful voice of Chieko-san in the morning, and we set off.
I was a bit anxious about snorkeling since it had been a while, but as soon as I saw the beautiful blue bay below, my excitement soared!
After watching the video, I changed into my wetsuit and headed straight into the water.
At first, the seawater felt a bit chilly, but I quickly got used to it.
During the practice phase of putting on the snorkel, colorful tropical fish swam right in front of me.
I even saw the humuhumunukunukuapua'a that I had learned about!
Excitedly following Dan-san, who was leading the way, I noticed a honu swimming right beside me as we approached the second half of our adventure!
It glanced over at me and swam slowly, which was so moving!
When we got back to the beach, I was surprised to see a monk seal lounging and napping.
The thrilling morning came to an end, leaving me with a pleasant sense of fatigue.
Thanks to the wonderful pair of Chieko-san and Dan-san, I created some truly precious and fun memories this time.

My husband and I LOVED this excursion!! We got to swim with sea turtles! It was absolutely amazing! Brad went out of his way to make our experience a great one and knew so much about the area. All of the crew were extremely accomodating and very courteous and personable. We went on a Monday morning and practically had the whole catamaran to ourselves (which they say isn’t normal, but was awesome!).
It was an unforgettable experience and I can’t wait to take our kids to Hawaii and on this excursion!

Every time I come to Honolulu, I always go on a sunset cruise, and I consistently choose the Mai Tai Catamaran. I've tried various options, including large dinner boats and other catamarans, but depending on the wind that day, the speed of the boat adds to the experience, making it one of the best ways to enjoy the sunset. Since it's off the coast of Waikiki, the boat doesn't rock too much, so I think you'll have a great time. However, the staff and crew mainly speak English, but I don't think it will be a problem even if you can't speak it.
!ホノルルに来る度に毎回サンセットクルーズをする様になりましたが、決まって乗るのはマイタイカタマランになりました。ディナー付きの大型船から他のカタマランなど色々乗ってみましたが、当日の風にもよりますが船のスピード感も有り、一番リアルにサンセットが楽しめるのでは無いでしょうか? ワイキキ沖なので余り船も揺れませんし楽しめると思います。但しスタッフやクルーはほぼ英語オンリーですね、特に話せなくても問題は無いと思いますが。

After meeting up with relatives, we joined the group. We had a 3-year-old and a 1-year-old with us, but they took us on a treasure hunt to keep them entertained, and even when they got fussy during the show, it was fine to soothe them in the aisle!
親戚と現地合流した後、御一行で参加。
3歳と1歳の子連れでしたが、飽きないようにトレジャーハントに連れ出してくれたり、ショーの合間にぐずったときも、通路であやしてても大丈夫でした!
Thank you very much for visiting us. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed your time here. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you back when you visit Hawaii again.
この度はご来場頂きまして、誠に有難うございます。楽しめて頂けたご様子で、私共も大変嬉しく思っております。またハワイにお越しの際には、ご来場頂けますよう、スタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げます。

The Hawaiian show was, of course, great, but there were also events you could participate in before the show started, such as a javelin throw experience and canoe rides, which the whole family enjoyed. There was a small souvenir shop, and there was also a shop that sold drinks, including alcoholic beverages. It became a wonderful memory.
ハワイアンショーはもちろんよかったですが、そのショーが始まる前に参加できるイベントが行われており、的に向かってのやり投げ体験やカヌー乗りなど、家族で楽しめました。
それほど大きくはないですがお土産ショップがあり、アルコールを含むドリンクを売っているショップもありました。
いい思い出になりました。

This was my third time at Dolphin University, and I was really looking forward to it since I had such a great time each previous visit!
I was picked up at 5:45 in front of DFS. Waking up early is tough, but it's worth it to meet the dolphins. We received some instructions on the bus, and once we arrived at the port, we boarded at 7:30 and set sail!
You can store your belongings in the shelf at your feet, but since they might get wet, it's better to keep them in a plastic bag or something similar. The boat swayed quite a bit, and many people ended up feeling seasick... To avoid turning this fun trip into a tough one, I recommend taking motion sickness medication!
Also, it gets really cold on the boat, so I think it's a good idea to bring $10 to rent a wetsuit! The captain decides whether to head north or south based on the day's conditions, and this time we went north.
About 30 minutes after departure, we received information that dolphins were nearby! We quickly put on our fins and masks and jumped into the sea. You have to jump in quickly, or you might miss the dolphins, so there's no time to feel scared! I jumped in swiftly and swam with all my might.
The result was incredibly satisfying; I got to see so many dolphins!! There were even baby dolphins, and they were so cute! I could see them swimming underwater and popping their heads up to the surface, and I took lots of videos and photos! When you dip your ears in the water, you can hear the dolphins' sounds!
The crew was friendly and fun, and we had a great time throughout the trip. There are staff members who speak Japanese, so communication was no problem at all! I definitely want to enroll again!
今回で3回目のイルカ大学、毎回とても楽しめたので期待大で臨みました!
5:45DFS前でピックアップ、早起きは辛いですがイルカと会うためなので仕方ないです。
バスの中で注意点などの説明を受け、港に着いたら7:30に乗船し出航!
荷物は足元の棚に収納できますが、濡れることがあるのでビニール袋等に入れておいた方がよさそうです。
船はまぁまぁ揺れるので、酔ってしまう人が続出でした…せっかくの楽しい旅が辛いものにならない為に、酔い止めの服用をお勧めします!
また船の上はとても寒いので、1人10ドル持って行ってウエットスーツは借りた方がいいと思います!
港から北に行くか南に行くかはその日の状態で船長さんが決めるそうで、今回は北側に進みました。
出航後30分程度でイルカがすぐ近くにいるとの情報をキャッチ!
すぐにフィンやマスクをつけて船から海に飛び込みます。
飛び込む時は早くしないとイルカに会えなくなるので怖いとか感じている暇はありません!
とにかく素早く飛び込み必死に泳ぎました。
結果は大満足、たくさんのイルカに会えました!!
赤ちゃんイルカもいてとても可愛かったです!
肉眼で水中を泳ぐ姿や海面に顔を出すところも見れましたし、動画や写真もたくさん撮れました!
水に耳を浸けるとキューというイルカの鳴き声も聞こえます!
クルーも親切で面白い人ばかり、終始盛り上がって楽しめました。
日本語の喋れるスタッフがいるのでコミュニケーションは全く問題ありません!
ぜひまた入学したいと思います!
