I participated in the Sandbar Angel's Sea snorkeling and sea turtle watching cruise. The atmosphere was nice and it was fun, but when I entered the water for snorkeling, the water temperature was low and "it was cold."
Snorkeling was enjoyable, but I recommend preparing for the cold after getting back on the boat. Our family of three participated, and we all changed in the restroom and wrapped ourselves in thick towels we brought from the hotel.
Even though it's a tropical climate, it felt like winter? Since the water temperature is low, I recommend taking precautions. I was glad I had read experiences beforehand.
The weather was nice, so I thought it was still bearable, but I believe cold weather precautions are necessary when it's cloudy, rainy, or windy.
サンドバー 天使の海 シュノーケリング&ウミガメウォッチクルーズに参加しました。雰囲気も良く、楽しかったのですが、シュノーケリングで海に入ったのですが、水温が低く「冷たかった」です。
シュノーケリングも楽しかったのですが、船に上がってからの寒さ対策をお勧めします。我が家は3人で参加しましたが、トイレで全員着替えて、ホテルから持参した厚いバスタオルにくるまっていました。
常夏といえど、やはり冬?なのか。水温が低いので対策をお勧めします。
事前に体験談を見て行っていたので、良かったです。
天気が良かったので、これでもまだマシだと思いましたから、天気が曇りだとか雨、風が強い等の時は、寒さ対策が必要だと思いました。

We participated in the tour as a family of three. Initially, we had booked for noon, but we received a recommendation from One Ocean to change it to 8 AM. There was no pick-up service, so we met at the location. The parking space at the harbor is spacious, so I don't think there will be any worries about parking. We met with the tour guide at the harbor, filled out a waiver, and boarded the boat. On the way to the shark point, there was an explanation of safety precautions regarding sharks, and we arrived at the point in about 30 minutes.
When my child shouted, "Shark!", I looked into the water and saw many sharks! It was a bit scary, but I trusted the explanation that there have been no accidents in the past 20 years and entered the water. The sharks were very calm, swimming gracefully, and they were beautiful. My impression of sharks has completely changed.
I wanted to see a tiger shark, but I was told that it wasn't the right season. However, we were able to see a whale, which is rarer than a tiger shark! It was a tour that left my child very satisfied. I would love to participate again. Additionally, for an extra fee of about $70, you can purchase a Go-Pro video. I would definitely like to join again!
家族3名でツアーに参加しました。最初に予約した時は昼12時で予約していましたが、ワンオーシャンから朝一がお勧めだと連絡があり、8時に変更しました。送迎はなく、現地集合です。ハーバーの駐車場スペースは広く、駐車場の心配はいらないと思います。ハーバーでツアーの方と待ち合わせして、誓約書を記入して、船に乗り込みます。サメのポイントへ向かう間に、サメの注意事項などの説明があり、30分ほどでポイントに到着です。
子供が「サメだ!」と叫んだので、海を覗くと、たくさんのサメがいます!
少し怖かったのですが、過去20年間、事故はないと言う説明を信じて、海へ入りました。
サメはとても落ち着いていて、泳ぎも優雅で、とても美しかったです。全くサメの印象は変わりました。
タイガーシャークを見たかったのですが、時期的に見れないとの事。しかし、タイガーシャークより希少なクジラを見る事ができました!
子供も大満足なツアーでした。また、参加したいと思います。また、追加料金70ドルほどで、Go-Proの動画を買う事もできます。また参加したいと思います!

The waves were calm that day, so we were able to go out to the special area. Although we didn't see any turtles, we saw plenty of colorful and large fish. I thought an hour would be short, but it turned out to be quite tiring, and I got seasick and felt fatigued from the flight. In the end, I managed to return slowly. I had prepared a waterproof case to take photos underwater, but I didn't have the energy to do so. Let's make sure to remember everything with our eyes. Both my child and I felt unwell, but the guide was very accommodating and didn't show any displeasure, which was a relief. Thank you very much.
その日は波が穏やかだったとのことで、特別に行ける沖にいったそうです。
カメは見られませんでしたが、カラフルで大きな魚はたくさん見れました。
1時間は短いかと思いましたが、やってみるとかなり疲れるのと波酔い、飛行機疲れのため酔ってしまいました。最後は休み休み、何とか戻ることができました。
水中で写真撮るかと思い、防水ケースを用意していましたが撮る余裕はありません。目でしっかり焼き付けましょう。
親子で体調が悪くなりましたが、ガイドの方が嫌な顔することなく対応してくださり助かりました。ありがとうございました。

I participated in a whale watching tour with my middle school son. The pickup was near our hotel, but there were other tours, and when the bus arrived, it turned out to be for a different tour. After that, our tour bus arrived, but the pickup was a bit delayed. The bus was clean, and there was no typical bus smell, making it comfortable.
Once on board, we listened to explanations in a large dining area on the first floor, where those who wanted could pay for meals. All the staff were locals, so the explanations were in solid English. After the briefing, we could go up to the deck.
We waited at a spot where whales were expected to appear. The boat rocked quite a bit while moving and even while waiting. I took motion sickness medication, but those who are prone to seasickness might get nauseous. I got seasick quickly and rested on a chair on the deck.
We saw a few dolphins. I heard that when a whale appears, they announce it by saying "○ o'clock," so I was lying down and seemed to have missed it when it showed up. My son noticed it because someone next to him murmured about the spout, and he saw it when they said "3 o'clock," so he apparently saw it twice. The whales were quite far away, as shown in the photos, while the dolphins were relatively close.
中学生の息子とホエールウォッチングに参加しました。
ピッキングは宿泊ホテルの近くでしたが、他のツアーの方もいて時間に来たバスが来たので聞いてみると違うツアーでした。その後当ツアーのバスが来ましたが、お迎えは少し時間が遅れていました。バス内は清潔でバス特有の匂いもなく快適でした。
乗船し、1階の食事が出来る大部屋で説明を聞きながら希望者は有料で食事が出来ます。スタッフは全員現地の方なので、説明もガチ英語。
説明が終わったらデッキへ上がれます。
出没スポットと思われるところで待機。船は走っているときも待機中も結構揺れます。酔い止めを飲んでいましたが、乗り物酔いしやすい方は酔ってしまうでしょう。私はすぐに酔ってしまい、デッキの横になれるチェアで休んでいました。
イルカが数匹見れました。
「○oclck」とクジラがでたらアナウンスされると聞いたので、横になっていましたが気づかないうちに現れていたようです。
息子は隣の人が呟いたため気づいて見えた潮吹きと、「3o'clock」と言われてみたので計2回見えたようです。クジラは写真の通り遠巻きで、イルカは割と近くで見えます。
Thank you very much for joining our cruise. We are sorry to hear that you experienced seasickness, but we are very pleased that you enjoyed whale and dolphin watching as well as the views from the ship. We hope to see you again soon. All of our staff are looking forward to your next visit.
この度は私共のクルーズにお越し頂き誠に有難うございました。
船酔いしてしまったのが残念でしたがクジラとイルカの観測や船からの景色をお楽しみ頂けました様で大変嬉しく思います。是非またお越し下さい。スタッフ一同お待ち申し上げております。

From the moment we set sail, the sparkling sea and the pleasant wind made me feel great, and I thought it would be enough even if we didn't see any whales! However, shortly after departing, we were greeted by a large pod of dolphins. They seemed to playfully swim alongside the boat, and I was thrilled to see so many adorable dolphins.
A little further ahead, we spotted two whales spouting water. They weren't very large, but their size was clearly different from the dolphins, moving gracefully. Throughout the trip, dolphins and whales appeared alternately, making the two and a half hours fly by. The crew mentioned that we were particularly lucky to see so many whales today.
出航前からキラキラ光る海と風に気持ちよくて、クジラ見られなくても十分!と思っていましたが、出航して少ししたら、まずはイルカの大群。
ふざけながら船に並走してくれるようで、たくさんの可愛いイルカたちがみられて感激。
その後その少し先で潮を吹くクジラが2頭。
それほど大きくないクジラでしたが、明らかにイルカとは違う大きさ。ゆったりした動き。
その後もイルカやクジラが代わるがわる現れて、あっという間の2時間半でした。
今日は特にたくさんのクジラが見られたよと船の方もおっしゃってました。

I participated in the event in the morning at the end of January. This year's Honolulu felt cold, with many rainy days. After arriving on site, I got into the ocean just after 9 AM, but the seawater was cold, and due to the cloudy sky, I got back on the boat after about 20 minutes. The ocean was beautiful, and there were fish swimming, so I think I would have enjoyed it more if it had been warmer. I believe participating in the afternoon during the winter would have allowed for a warmer experience.
1月末の午前中のに参加しました。今年のホノルルは寒く、雨の日も多い感じでした
現地に着いて、9時過ぎから海に入りましたが、海水も冷たく、曇り空のため、20分位で船に上がってしまいました。
海は綺麗で、魚も泳いでいて、もっと暖かだったら楽しめたと思います
冬の時期は午後からの参加の方が暖かく過ごせたと思います

I participated in a movie location tour (meeting and ending on-site) in the morning and a zipline tour with seven lines (also meeting and ending on-site) in the afternoon. Both tours had the same check-in location, so I was able to complete the check-in for both with just one visit.
On the way to the zipline location, we took the same route as the location tour by bus, but there were no stops for photo opportunities. All three guides spoke English, so there were times when I didn't understand what they were saying, but all seven ziplines were a lot of fun! It was a great memory to experience seven consecutive ziplines in the magnificent nature, something that is hard to do in Japan!
午前中に映画ロケ地ツアー(現地集合解散)、午後にジップライン7本ツアー(現地集合現地解散)に参加しました。
どちらのツアーも受付が同じ場所なので、1度のチェックインで両方とも受付完了出来ました。
ジップラインの場所に行くまでは、ロケ地ツアーと途中まで同じルートをバスで通りますが、停まって写真撮影とかはありませんでした。
ガイドさん3人とも全て英語なので何を言ってるか分からない事もありましたが、7本のジップラインはどれも楽しかったです!日本では中々出来ない7本連続と、雄大な自然の中で出来たのは良い思い出になりました!

I was supposed to participate with a pickup from the Lacroix Hotel. Even after 15 minutes had passed, no one arrived, and when I called the contact number that said, "Please contact us if you haven't been picked up after 5 minutes," I received a message saying it was outside of business hours, leaving me at a loss. When I consulted with the front desk at the Lacroix Hotel, they kindly made a call and connected me with a Japanese woman from the tour company. After explaining the situation, I was told, "Your pickup is at Sheraton Waikiki. The pickup time for today has already passed. You can take a taxi at your own expense." I mentioned that I had requested the pickup from the Lacroix Hotel from the beginning, that I had already paid for the service including the pickup, and that it didn't have to be today, and only then was I finally offered a reschedule. It was very disappointing that they spoke as if it was my mistake from the start without trying to find the cause of the misunderstanding, and their response reflected that. Since it was a family trip, I rescheduled for the next day, but honestly, I felt like canceling due to their handling of the situation. If a customer cancels on the day of, they incur a cancellation fee, so I thought it would be reasonable for them to provide compensation for this incident. The next day, the pickup was also more than 15 minutes late, and when I called, I couldn't get through, just like the day before. Fortunately, there was another family scheduled to participate, and they received a call about a 20-minute delay on their mobile phone, and I felt relieved when I saw the bus arrive shortly after. However, I was truly disappointed with these experiences over two consecutive days.
Managing time to avoid being late with young children and planning this trip with excitement for months, it is regrettable to have to go through such anxiety and discomfort. I also emailed Veltra about the lack of pickup, and they promptly and very kindly intervened with the tour company. It was through Veltra's contact that I learned for the first time that the pickup location had mistakenly been set to Sheraton Waikiki. The tour company did not provide any explanation or apology regarding this mistake and spoke as if it was a communication error between Veltra and the tour company. While I understand that mistakes can happen, I believe it is very rude not to offer a sincere explanation or apology. I recommend Veltra, but I do not recommend this tour company.
ラクロワホテルお迎えで参加予定でした。15分過ぎても来ず、「当日5分過ぎたら連絡ください」という連絡先に電話しても営業時間外というアナウンスが流れ、途方に暮れていました。ラクロワホテルのフロントの方に相談すると電話をかけてくださり催行会社の日本人女性の方と繋げてくれました。経緯をお話すると「シェラトンワイキキお迎えになっています。今日のお迎え時間はもう過ぎています。自費になりますがタクシーで来ていただいてもいいです。」と言われました。申込時からラクロワホテルでお願いしていること、送迎込みの金額をすでにお支払いしていること、今日でなくてもよいことを伝えるとようやく振替を提案されました。行き違いの原因を探そうともせず最初からこちらのミスであるような言い方をされ、それを踏まえた対応をされたのは大変遺憾でした。せっかくの家族旅行なので翌日に振り替ましたが正直キャンセルしてもいいと思うくらいの対応でした。お客側が当日キャンセルしたらキャンセル料が発生するのですから、今回はこちらにもそれに見合った弁償があってもいいのではないかと思いました。翌日もお迎えは15分以上遅れ、電話をかけても昨日と同じく繋がりませんでした。幸い参加予定のご家族がもう一組おり、そちらの携帯に20分ほど過ぎたころ遅延している旨電話が来て、すぐにバスが見えたので安心しました。しかし2日連続のこれらの対応には本当にがっかりしました。
幼いこどもを連れて時間に遅れないよう時間管理をし、何ヶ月も前からスケジュールを立てて楽しみに旅行に来ているのに、こんな不安な思いや不快な思いをしなければならないのは残念です。
ベルトラさんにもメールでお迎えが来ない旨ご相談したのですが、催行会社との間に入り、迅速に大変親身にご対応いただきました。ベルトラさんからのご連絡で初めて催行会社側のミスで送迎先がシェラトンワイキキになっていたことを知りました。催行会社の方はその旨の説明も謝罪もなく、ベルトラさんと催行会社の間での伝達ミスのような言い方をされました。ミスをするのは人間なのでしょうがないと思います。しかし誠実な説明や謝罪ないのはこちらに対して大変失礼だと思います。
ベルトラさんはおすすめしますが、こちらの催行会社はおすすめしません。
We sincerely apologize for the long wait time for our shuttle bus and for the very unpleasant experience you had over the two days. We will be in contact with the general manager to provide guidance to all staff for strengthening our customer service in the future.

I visited Hanauma Bay for the first time in 2019 and was impressed by its beauty and the abundance of fish. However, since then, tours have been discontinued and reservations are now required for entry, making it difficult to visit on my own. This time, I participated in a tour. Although the morning is early, I think it's nice because there are fewer crowds. Even if you're not good at English, as long as you ask about the meeting place and time for the return, there shouldn't be any problems. I was worried about strong winds the day before, but I was lucky that the weather was good on the day of the tour.

The Royal Hawaiian Center on the 4th floor of Waikiki's bustling area has excellent access! I debated whether to get a ticket with a buffet dinner, but I didn't want to be restricted by time, so I opted for just the viewing ticket and enjoyed a leisurely dinner at a restaurant within the center.
The seating is arranged in a circular shape with 180-degree views, divided into three blocks, with the center being reserved seating and the sides being general seating. Since it was a weekday night, there were only about a third of the seats filled on the day I attended.
The show included hula dancing, a live performance by two superstars, fire performances, and Disney songs, making for a fun night that really lifted my spirits!
ワイキキ繁華街のロイヤルハワイアンセンター4階の常設施設内なので、アクセス抜群です!
ブュッフェディナー付きのチケットか悩みましたが、時間の縛りが嫌だったので観覧のみのチケットにして夜ご飯はセンター内のレストランでゆっくり過ごしました。

I was so happy to be able to go to the dream sandbar! Given the time of year, it was unavoidable, but the water level was about waist-high. I participated in late January, and the weather was cloudy with occasional light rain, so it was quite cold! It's best to prepare for the cold. (I went into the sea without wearing a rash guard and put it on after coming out. It was the right choice since it was cold on the return boat in the cloudy weather!)
I also joined a snorkeling trip to see corals and sea turtles, but I panicked because I couldn't touch the bottom and gave up. I later thought I should have borrowed a float. However, for those of us who didn't see any sea turtles, the boat crew searched for them on the way back, and we were able to see a swimming sea turtle!
Also, the spam onigiri I received was quite delicious, and I ate a few others elsewhere, but this one was the best! There were drinks like soda, juice, and warm beverages available. After coming out of the sea, I enjoyed warm cocoa to warm up!
憧れのサンドバーに行くことができ、嬉しかったです!
時期的に仕方ないのですが、水位は腰くらいでした。
1月下旬の参加、曇り時々パラパラ雨の天気だったので、結構寒い!寒さ対策はしっかりとしていった方がいいです。(わたしはラッシュガードを着ずに海に入って、海から出た後に着ました。曇りだと帰りの船上は寒いので、それで正解でした!)

The way you recommended using the rash guard is great. Since it's a tour in the ocean, regardless of the season, you may feel cold after getting out of the water. We recommend bringing a long-sleeved jacket (like a hoodie) when you participate. I'm glad to hear that the food and drinks were to your liking.
Please do come back to play in Paradise of the Sea again. We are looking forward to that day with the sea turtles from the bottom of our hearts.

This was our first trip to Hawaii, and we stayed for a week with my family (my husband, our 10-year-old daughter, and me). We also participated in a dolphin tour for the first time.
The meeting time was early at 5:30 AM in front of our hotel, but it was manageable if we went to bed early the night before.
I was worried about the weather since it had been changing from rain to sunshine up until the day before, but fortunately, it cleared up, and we were able to set sail.
I tend to get motion sickness and took medication, but I ended up getting sick five times. A few others on the tour also experienced this. I regretted not taking the medication earlier, but I suppose it couldn't be helped.
At the beginning, as we set sail, we all participated in a traditional Hawaiian prayer in Hawaiian, asking for safety on our journey and to encounter dolphins, while throwing plumeria flowers into the sea. At that moment, the sun broke through the cloudy sky, and it felt like we had received permission, creating a magical atmosphere!
A wetsuit is a must! I recommend purchasing one as an option.
When we spotted dolphins, I was feeling unwell and stayed on the boat, but my husband and daughter put on their snorkels and entered the water. Since it was her first time using goggles, our daughter panicked at one point, but a female guide who spoke Japanese and had a license supported her. Although they couldn't swim close to the dolphins on their first try, I could see them from the boat despite feeling sick. My husband said it was his first experience in waters 1,000 meters deep, and although it was scary, he had a lot of fun!
After that, we encountered various marine creatures! We saw a whale spouting water, dolphins, and a baby hammerhead shark...
The tour guide informed us about the creatures we encountered:
- False killer whale
- Spotted dolphin
- Hammerhead shark
- Green sea turtle
- Humpback whale (spouting in the distance)
Afterward, we had a great time snorkeling and playing on the slide in an area with calmer waves.
I would love to participate again for a rematch. Thank you very much!
Even though I felt sick, I was truly able to encounter many marine creatures in the magnificent nature of Oahu, and the staff provided a lot of support. Having a Japanese-speaking guide was really helpful. I am grateful for that.
今回 初めてのハワイで家族(私、主人、娘10歳)1週間滞在。イルカツアーも初めて参加しました。
朝 宿泊ホテル前に集合時間5時半と早いのですが、前日早く寝てれば大丈夫です。
前日まで雨降ったり晴れたりコロコロと天気が変わって心配しましたが、無事晴れて出航できました。
私は乗り物酔いしやすく薬を飲みましたが、リバース5回もしました。他の方も何人かいました。早めに飲み薬を飲めば良かったかな?と後悔しましたが、仕方ない事だと思います。
最初、出航し皆んなで海と自然、旅の安全、イルカに出会えるようにお願いする気持ちで、ハワイの伝統的なお祈りの儀式をハワイ語で言い
プルメリアの花を海に投げました。
そしたら、曇ってた空から太陽が当たって許可された様な気分になり幻想的な空間でした!!
ウエットスーツは必須です!!オプションで購入した方がおすすめです。
イルカを発見し
私は気持ち悪く船の中にいましたが、
主人と娘は、シュノーケルをつけて海に入りました。娘はゴーグルが初めてだった為途中 パニックになってましたが、日本語ガイドしてくれた女性がライセンスを持っていて娘をサポートしてくれました。1回目はイルカの近くで泳げませんでしたが、
私は気持ち悪いけど、船の上からは、イルカが見えました。主人は水深1,000メートルの沖合なんて初めての経験で怖かったけど本当に楽しかった!!と言っておりました。
その後、色々な海洋生物に出会えました!!クジラが潮を吹いてたりイルカ、子供のハンマーヘッドシャーク…
ツアーの方から教えていただいた
出会った生き物:
コビレゴンドウ
マダライルカ
ハンマーヘッドシャーク

そのあと波の少ない場所でシュノーケルとスライダーでたくさん遊べました。

Touring Jurassic Valley Kualoa Ranch was awesome! It was a great combination of Hawaiian history, Nature information, and Movie set information. The tour guides were professional, and pleasant, making the tour enjoyable. I recommend renting the ATVs because it's fun driving the trails around the ranch.
The best part was a sudden downpour while driving and we kept going on the tour.
My advice is to book your tour when you make your travel arrangements to Honolulu as this tour sells out all the time.
This is a great tour for all ages!!

The bus had multiple stops to pick up customers our driver was very knowledgeable about all of Hawaii. He provided solid information about going to the Arizona Memorial first. The wind was picking up making the water choppy and the shuttle could stop ferrying tourists. So we were able to get on the boat as stand-by then come back and walk through the museums.
Given a lot of good information about the Punch Bowl as we drove through the grounds!
If you are in Honolulu this tour is a must.

I loved the jetski, it was my first time ever to ride a jetski. But they were able to coach me well and didnt feel intimidating.
The para sail is a little bit underwhelking as the thrill is gone as soon as you reach the highest height/point . But the views are worth it
The service is good and friendly.
We were the last ones for the day but didnt feel rushed

This time, the scheduled date and time were canceled due to bad weather, so we quickly changed it to the next morning. I had originally booked for lunchtime, hoping to see the beautiful ocean, but in the morning, the sun hadn't come out yet, and the sea looked a grayish blue. When I looked straight down, it was incredibly high and really scary! (150m)
I tackled it with my 5-year-old and my 6th grader in between us, and it seemed the kids had fun and wanted to do it again. Later, my parents, who are over 70, also tried it, and they said it wasn't as scary as I made it out to be. I'm sure it would be enjoyable if you don't look straight down.
Considering the price, the duration was long, and I thought it was very cost-effective.
今回、予定していた日時が天候不良で中止になり、急遽、翌日の朝イチに変更しました。もともとお昼の時間帯を予約していたので、海のキレイさが見られることを期待していましたが、朝イチはまだ日も射しておらず、海がグレーのようなブルーでした。なので、真下を見てみると、すっごく高くてめちゃくちゃ怖かったです!(150m)
5歳の子どもと小6の子どもに挟まれて、3人で挑みましたが、子どもたちは楽しかったようで、またしたいと言っていました。
その後、70を超えた両親も挑みましたが、私が騒ぐほど怖くなかったと言っていました。真下を見なければ、きっと楽しいと思います。
値段の割に時間も長く、とてもコスパは良いと思いました。

I arrived earlier than my reserved time, but after checking in, I went straight into preparation, and before I knew it, the activity had started. The explanation was only in English, so if you don't understand English, you need to speak up; otherwise, it seemed like they would just leave without you. I was worried it might be dangerous, so I didn't let my child have a phone, but it seemed they had set aside time for photos in beautiful scenery at various points, so it would have been better to let them have it. There was an area where you could drive freely, and it seemed both adults and children (6th graders) found it fun, even though kids might fall over. While we were waiting, they also gave us juice and Honolulu cookies. It was a really scenic spot, and even while waiting, I was wandering around taking photos. It lasted about an hour, and I think it was very cost-effective. The staff were also very kind, and I was extremely satisfied.
予約時間より早く着きましたが、受付をすませたらそのまま準備に入り、気づいたらアクティビティが開始しました。
説明は英語のみなので、英語がわからなかったらアピールしないと、そのまま出発しそうな勢いでした。
危ないかな?と携帯を持たせなかったのですが、要所要所に素敵な風景の中、撮影時間をもうけていたようで、持たせた方がよかったです。
途中、自由に運転していいエリアがあり、子どもだと転んだりするので、そこが大人も子ども(小6)も面白かったようです。
待っているこちらにも、ジュースやホノルルクッキーをくれました。
すごく景色のよいところで、待っている間も、うろうろして撮影していました。だいたい1時間くらいあり、非常にコスパもよいと思います。
スタッフの方も非常に優しくて大満足でした。

Our guide had a lot of interesting information about the film industry of Hawaii, not only about Hawai-5-O. We could go into Mc Garrets house and meet and talk to the character Flippa. The Lunch was only a sandwich and some chips and a soft drink. But it was good. We spent plenty of time in the garden of that house. The other places could not to be visited. We had only 2 more foto stops: one at Danu‘s thinking point and one at the headquarter. But it was ok for us.
If the price was it worth? Not sure, but we had a good time.

We participated as a family of five. Our 8-year-old initially struggled as the horse was eating grass and not listening, but with the help of the guide, they quickly got used to it. It was a lot of fun and became the best memory of our trip to Hawaii.

I participated in parasailing for the first time. The operation was handled by two English-speaking guys. Both of them were in a great mood, which really lifted my spirits. The parasailing was very stable in the air, and I was able to relax. I didn't get too wet during the landing, which was nice. The photo shoot cost $40, and I paid for it on-site.

My family and I had a great time using this package tour to Kualoa Ranch. The instructions were clear and the transportation vehicles were timely and clean. The ranch itself is beautiful with the ATV tour thoroughly going to different parts of the ranch. The tour guides were informative, funny and definitely wanted the guests to have a great time. I recommend you wear clothes that you don't mind getting dusty as the dust kicks up a lot as you're driving. They provide helmets, bandanas and googles to help cover up. The views were beautiful and they give you plenty of time to take photos and soak in the atmosphere. Overall, highly recommend this tour.

Unfortunately, it rained on the day of our visit, but we still had a great time despite getting soaked! For a full two hours, we were able to stop several times to listen to the guide's explanations and take photos. The second half of the course had more ups and downs, making the driving even more enjoyable. The facilities were clean, and it was reassuring to have a Japanese staff member, Sanae, there. However, I felt that waiting about three hours for the return bus after the activity was too long.
当日は残念ながら雨でしたが、びしょ濡れになりながら楽しめました!丸2時間、途中で何度か止まってガイドさんの説明を聞いたり、写真を撮ったりもできます。コースは後半の方がアップダウンがあり、より運転が楽しめます。
施設はトイレも綺麗で、日本人スタッフのさなえさんがいて安心でしたが、アクティビティ終了後、帰りのバスの出発まで約3時間待つのたけは長すぎると感じました。

Long pants are required, and I went in long pants, but there were people riding in shorts. I think long pants are better since you have to straddle the horse. If it rains, you can borrow a yellow raincoat for riding, but you can't take it off halfway. We were glad to borrow it since it rained heavily the whole time.
Since it might rain, it's better to bring a change of clothes. Even if it doesn't rain, you'll get dirty anyway. You can change in the restroom. The bus ride to and from the location has strong air conditioning, so it's cold.
There was also a kind Japanese person at the reception, which was reassuring. Overall, it was a lot of fun, and I definitely recommend it!
長ズボン必須とあり長ズボンで行ったが半ズボンで乗れてる人もいた。馬に跨るので長ズボンの方がいいと思う。雨の場合乗馬は黄色いレインコートを貸してもらえるが途中で脱ぐことはできない。自分たちはずっと雨が強かったので借りて良かった。
雨が降るので着替えを持って行った方がよい。雨は降らなくてもどっちみち汚れるので。お手洗いで着替えられる。行き帰りのバスは冷房きいてて寒い。
受付にも親切な日本人の方がいて安心。
総じてとても楽しかったです、ぜひおすすめ!

I had done zip-lining in Japan before, but this one was by far the longest and the best experience I've ever had. The shuttle bus felt like an attraction from Jurassic Park, which was fun. The instructors were friendly and kind, and they even spoke to us in Japanese.
The weather changed frequently, with rain and sunshine throughout the day. At one point, it started pouring down heavily, and I thought I might catch a cold because my clothes got soaked. So, I recommend purchasing a poncho sold on-site or wearing a raincoat if there's any chance of rain or if the weather looks suspicious on the day of your participation.
日本でもジップラインはやったことがありましたが今回のが今まで経験した中でダントツで長くて最高でした。
送迎の車もジュラシックパークのアトラクションみたいで楽しかったです。
インストラクターの方も日本語で話しかけてくれたり、気さくで優しくてとてもいい方達でした。
雨が降ったり晴れたりコロコロ天気が変わる日だったのですが、途中から凄い勢いで降ってきて服がびしょ濡れになり風邪を引くかと思ったので、参加当日少しでも雨が降ってたり空模様が怪しかったりする時は現地で売ってるポンチョ購入するかレインコート着たほうがいいと思います。

At first, I saw a small whale, about 5 meters long, showing its dorsal fin and tail fin about three times. After that, I spotted a mother whale, which seemed to be just under 10 meters long, showing its dorsal fin and spouting water about three times. The waves were about 3 meters high, and the boat rocked a bit, but it was very enjoyable.
初め、子クジラとみられる5mくらいのが背びれ、尾びれが3回くらい見れた。
そのあと、母クジラとみられる10m弱のが、背びれと潮吹きが3回くらい見られた。波は3mくらいあり、船は多少揺れたが、とても楽しかった。
Thank you very much for joining our cruise. We are very pleased to hear that you were able to observe the whales spouting. We hope to see you again soon. All of our staff are looking forward to your visit.

This was my second time parasailing in Hawaii. This time, I traveled with my elderly mother, and since we were in Hawaii, I wanted to include some ocean activities for her as well. The boat does sway during the ride, so I think anyone who can brace themselves and maintain a seated position (as you take off from that position) can participate, even if they're older.
In the end, my mother was very satisfied, and it seems this became her favorite memory from the trip. For those who want photos, they take about 150 pictures of you in the air and the scenery from the boat, and after disembarking, they transfer the data to your phone right there. It comes with a memory card for $50. I usually don't buy many photos from tourist spots, but these turned out really well, and I'm happy with them.
ハワイでのパラセーリング2回目です。
今回は高齢の母と2人旅、せっかくのハワイなので母にも海のアクティビティを取り入れたくて参加しました。
ボートで移動時に揺れますので、その揺れを踏ん張れる方、長座の姿勢がとれる方(その体制から飛ぶので)であれば高齢でも参加できるかと思います。
結果、母大満足、今回の旅で1番の思い出になった様です。
写真が欲しい人は上空での様子やボートからの景色を150枚ほど撮ってくれて下船後にその場でデータを携帯に移行してくれます。メモリーカードも付いて50ドル。観光地の写真はあまり買わないのですが、よく撮れてて気に入ってます。

Although the day was grey and windy....the day at sea was excellent. Whales were not seen, but everything from the crew and staff members were excellent. The naturalist on board was so informative and wandered the ship answering all our questions. she was so easy to talk to and answered all our questions even the silly ones. Since we did and early morning cruise. we had coffees and snacks...dont forget to get the Mac nut cookies.....they are the best! We will do it again and hopefully have better luck in viewing....

Thank you for joining the tour. Since you went on the tour right after arriving in Hawaii, I imagine you must have been quite tired. Also, the malasadas you had in the car might not have been the best idea before snorkeling. I apologize for that. Both of you were very skilled at snorkeling, so please do challenge yourselves again when you come back to Hawaii. We are always here waiting for you. Thank you. 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した。ハワイに到着してすぐにツアーでしたので、きっとお疲れだったのかと思います。それと車の中で食べたマラサダもシュノーケリング前にはよくなかったのかもしれません。ごめんなさいね。シュノーケリングはお二人ともとてもお上手でしたから、ぜひまたハワイにお越しの際には再度挑戦できてくださいね。いつでもお待ちしております。ありがとうございました。Mahalo!!
