ハワイでパラセーリング 高さ120m/150mの上空からワイキキとダイアモンドヘッドの絶景を鑑賞!<ヒルトン・ワイキキ>

Expensive! Amazing! So much fun!! 高い!すごい!楽しいー!!

Reviewed by: はぴこ

Parasailing in the dreamlike Waikiki was more thrilling than I expected! The staff was full of happy energy and high spirits, and even if your English is limited, it’s not much of a problem. They bring out various items and turn up the music to enhance the fun.

A sense of camaraderie developed with others on the same boat, and after the flight, we exchanged applause. It was incredibly hot with strong sunlight, but be careful as you have to take off your hat when flying. I kept mine on until the last moment. Still, it was an experience worth trying.

【About Luggage】
There’s no place to store valuables, so you have to shove your bags under the benches on the boat. I tackled it with a smartphone case that could hold tips and a credit card around my neck. Since my hotel was far away, I used a coin locker on the Hilton Lagoon side for my other valuables (it’s quite expensive though).

【Credit Card】
You need cash or a card to buy the photo data, but JCB is not accepted! Please be aware of this. (I even went all the way to the locker to get mine.)

憧れのワイキキでのパラセーリング。
思った以上に高くて楽しかったです!!スタッフはハッピーオーラ満開でハイテンション、英語が片言でもあまり問題はありません。いろんなアイテムを出したり、音楽のボリュームを上げて、楽しさを演出してくれます。

同じ船に乗った方ともなんとなーくの一体感が生まれ、フライトの後はお互い拍手を送り合ってみたり
とにかく暑くて日差しが強いけど、飛ぶ時は帽子は取らなければなりませんのでご注意を私は飛ぶギリギリまでかぶってました
それでもやってみる価値ありの体験でした。


【荷物について】
貴重品の預かり所はなく、荷物はボートのベンチの下に突っ込むしかありません。私はチップとクレジットカードが入るスマホケースを首からかけて挑みました。ホテルが遠かったのもあり、その他の貴重品はヒルトンのラグーン側にあるコインロッカーを使いました。(めちゃくちゃ高いけど)

【クレジットカード】
写真のデータを買うのに現金かカードが必要ですが、JCBが使えません!ご注意ください。(私はわざわざロッカーまで取りに行きました)

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 船上のBBQグリルで焼くハンバーガーランチ付き!<午前/日本語クルー>

My first time in Hawaii. 初めてのハワイ

Reviewed by: さやか

I participated in a sandbar tour that I had wanted to go on for a long time with four friends from university. Since there was a Japanese guide, we didn't have any particular difficulties and had a great time. We had plenty of time to enjoy taking lots of photos both at the sandbar and while snorkeling, and we also saw many sea turtles from the boat! I highly recommend this tour!

ずっと行きたかったサンドバーのツアーに、大学生の友達4人で参加しました。日本人のガイドさんがいたので、特に困ることもなく、楽しく過ごせました。サンドバーでもシュノーケリングでも、写真をたくさん撮って満喫するだけの時間は十分ありましたし、船の上からウミガメもたくさん見れました!とてもおすすめのツアーです!

Despite that, I think it was great to encounter a sea turtle.

Captain Bob's Kaneohe Sandbar Snorkeling Tour & BBQ Lunch with Waikiki Pickup

Wouldn’t be ideal for non swimmers

Reviewed by: Cici

First of all the bus that picked us up was old and need some works done. A 45 minute drive turned into a 11/2 hour drive. We picked the sand bar as my husband and I both can’t swim. I was pleased that we got to do some snorkeling together. We did see some turtles as well.
Then it was the deeper sea snorkeling. I was so afraid of the deep sea. So we ended up waiting in the boat for over an hour.
There are actually a few coaches on the boat. If they would Guide us through that would be a lot easier.
We just felt left out from the whole group.

「ロック・ア・フラ」ポリネシアンとロックを融合!有名キャストも楽しめるワイキキ最大のハワイアンショー<ロイヤル・ハワイアン・ショッピングセンター内>

I was very satisfied with the sensory experience in Hawaii! ♡ 五感で楽しむハワイに大満足♡

Reviewed by: ちゃちゃまる夫婦

We participated in this tour at the beginning of our honeymoon. Since it was both of our first trips to Hawaii, this tour, which combined "food" and "entertainment," felt like a great deal.

**Buffet Dinner**
The dinner venue was filled with people from various nationalities, not just Japanese. Everyone had different reasons for joining; there were honeymooners like us, as well as those celebrating birthdays and wedding anniversaries. The food was prioritized for VIP seating, so the wait time felt a bit long, but during that time, the staff came to chat with us and even sang celebratory songs with a ukulele, which made the wait enjoyable. The buffet menu featured a colorful array of Hawaiian fish, meat, vegetables, and sweet potatoes, allowing us to enjoy not just the taste but also the presentation. There were also hula lessons during the meal, making it hard to decide whether to watch or eat, and before we knew it, dinner time was over. I regretted not having enough time to go for a second round! (laughs) Overall, the cast members were cheerful and friendly, and we had a great time chatting with others at our table.

**Showtime**
After dinner, we moved to the hall where the "Rock-a-Hula Show" began. The seating was mostly open, and aside from the VIP designated seats, we could sit anywhere there was space. The cast members from the dinner also performed as dancers, so it was fun to spot our server from earlier! The show featured a mix of different eras and genres, which was very interesting. The performances by local professional singers, as well as the cast members impersonating Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson, were fantastic. Even songs we didn't know were enjoyable, and there was a rich variety of dance styles and highlights. Dancers descended from the ceiling, and surfboards were used on stage—such impressive staging! There were also traditional Hawaiian music and dance performances, with explanations in between, making it a time of both enjoyment and learning. Personally, the most impressive part was the fire dance. Watching a small boy skillfully dance while manipulating flames was breathtaking, and I held my breath in awe, giving a big round of applause during his final pose. After the show, we could meet the cast members in the lobby for photos, which was a wonderful way to share our thoughts while the excitement was still fresh.

Although some time has passed since we participated, reflecting on the fun memories made this review longer than I intended. However, no matter how much I write, "seeing is believing." With all five senses engaged—taste, hearing, sight, smell, and touch—this tour truly allows you to soak in Hawaii. I highly recommend it!

ハネムーンの序盤に参加しました。
夫婦揃ってハワイ旅行が初めてということもあり、「食」と「エンターテインメント」がセットになったこちらのツアーはとてもお得感がありました。

ビュッフェディナー
ディナー会場には 日本人だけでなく、さまざまな国籍の方がいます。また、参加のきっかけも人それぞれで、私たちのようなハネムーナーもいればお誕生日の方や結婚記念日のご夫婦など、特別な日を祝いに来ている方がたくさんいらっしゃいました。料理はVIP席の方が優先なので、取りに行けるまでの待ち時間は少し長めに感じましたが、その間にもスタッフの方が話し掛けにきてくださったり、ウクレレでお祝いの歌を歌ってくださったりと、ただ「待つ」だけではなかったのが嬉しかったです。
ビュッフェメニューもハワイのお魚やお肉・野菜やお芋が色とりどりに揃っており、味だけでなく見た目も楽しめました。食事の途中でもフラ講座などがあり、そちらも見たいしご飯も食べたいしで、あっという間のディナータイム。二周目を取りに行く間もなく食事の時間が終わってしまったのが悔やまれる……!(笑) とにかく、案内のキャストさんたちがとても朗らかで親しみやすく、近くの席になった他の皆さんともワイワイ盛り上がりました。

ショータイム
食事が終わると、ホールに移動していよいよ「ロック・ア・フラショー」が始まります。客席はほとんど自由席になっており、VIPの指定席以外は空いていればどこでも座れました。ディナー会場にいたキャストさんもダンサーとして登壇しているので、「あ!さっきのお兄さんだ!」と自分の席の担当キャストさんを探すのもまた一興。ショーの内容も、年代・ジャンルもあれこれ散りばめられていてたいへん興味深かったです。
現地のプロシンガーさんのオリジナルソングや、エルヴィス・プレスリーやマイケル・ジャクソンに扮するキャストさんのパフォーマンスも素晴らしく、知っている曲はもちろんのこと、知らない曲でもノリノリで楽しめます。また、歌だけでなく踊りの種類や見どころも豊富で、天井からダンサーさんが降りてきたり、舞台上でサーフボードを乗り回したりと、演出もお見事!ハワイの伝統的な音楽や踊りの演目もあり、合間には解説もしてくれるので、愉しむだけではなく学びもあるひとときでした。個人的に一番印象的だったのは、ファイアー・ダンス。身体の小さな少年が、全身で炎を操りながら踊る姿は圧巻で、息を呑みながら見守り、決めポーズでは感動の鳥肌とともに大きな拍手を贈りました。終演後はロビーでキャストさんたちと面会・記念写真撮影もできるので、気持ちが熱いうちに感想を直接伝えられるのが最高に嬉しかったです。

参加してから少し経っているにもかかわらず、楽しかった思い出をひとつひとつ振り返っていたら 感想が長くなってしまいました。しかし、どれだけ長く書いたところで、「百聞は一見に如かず」です。味覚・聴覚・視覚・嗅覚・触覚……まさに、全身でハワイを浴びられるツアーだと思います。ぜひ!

  • 目にも鮮やかなフィナーレ。ディナー会場ですぐ近くにいたキャストさんが、後半ではステージ上にいるの、なんだか不思議なワクワク感があります。

  • ファイアー・ダンスの少年。かっこよかった!!

The live music was amazing, the crew was friendly and fun, and the whole experience was coordinated and organized very well! There was plenty of time on the sand bar and plenty of equipment for our family of 6 to do everything we wanted to do. I would completely recommend this outing and I would do it again!

ハワイでパラセーリング 高さ120m/150mの上空からワイキキとダイアモンドヘッドの絶景を鑑賞!<ヒルトン・ワイキキ>

The view of Diamond Head is amazing. ダイヤモンドヘッド眺め最高

Reviewed by: パピヨン

**[Paragliding Experience Flow]**
- Reserved for the 9:00 session.
- Since it was said to gather 15 minutes before the check-in time (8:30) when walking, I arrived at 8:15.
- After writing my name on the consent form, I was told I could return here by 8:40, so I took photos at the harbor, applied sunscreen, and waited while taking motion sickness medication.
- At 8:50, we boarded the boat and took 15 minutes to reach the point. During that time, we put on life jackets and were asked if we wanted to take photos for $40.
- Starting from 9:05, each group began paragliding. We flew for about 10 minutes. When I requested photos, they took quite a few before and during the flight (I counted over 100, and the quality was quite good).
- Paragliding while enjoying the beautiful sea, sky, islands, and Diamond Head was amazing. It was stable and not scary at all, and occasionally they made it a bit bumpy for fun, so the 10 minutes flew by. At the end, when we were picked up by the boat, I was submerged in the sea up to my chest.
- It seems that a certain speed of the boat is necessary to maintain the height of 150m, so it swayed normally. Since we had to wait on the boat during other participants' paragliding, I think it’s better for those prone to seasickness to take motion sickness medication. Even though I rarely get seasick, I took some just in case, but towards the end, I felt a bit nauseous.
- Finished at 9:50. Those who didn’t request photos could leave directly. Those who did went to the check-in area, checked the photos taken, and paid $40. They transferred the data to my iPhone and also gave me an SD card.

**[Impressions]**
While on the boat, there was fun music playing the whole time, the scenery was beautiful, and the staff were kind and spoke a little Japanese, so just being on the boat was really enjoyable. It became a wonderful memory, and I’m glad I had the experience!

【パラセーリング体験の流れ】
・9:00の回で予約
・徒歩の場合、チェックイン時間(8:30)の15分前集合ということだったので、8:15に到着。
・同意書に名前記入したら、8:40までにここに戻ってこればいいよ、と言われてハーバーで写真撮ったり日焼け止め塗ったり、酔い止め飲んで待ち。
・8:50に船に乗り込み15分かけてポイントに到着。その間に、ライフジャケット着たり、写真撮影40ドルでやるかどうか聞かれる。
・9:05から1組ずつパラセーリング開始。だいたい10分くらい飛んでいたかな。写真撮影頼んだら、飛ぶ前から飛んでる最中、かなり撮ってくれた。(数えたら100枚以上あった、画質もかなりいい)
・綺麗な海、空、島、ダイヤモンドヘッドを眺めながらパラセーリング。安定していて怖くないし、たまに楽しませるためにぐわんぐわんしてくれて、10分間あっという間だった。最後、船に回収される時、胸くらいまで海に浸かった。
・150mの高さを保つためにはある程度の船の速度も必要みたいで普通に揺れる。他の参加者のパラセーリング中ずっと船で待機なので船酔いする人は酔い止め飲んだ方がいいと思う。めったに酔わない私も念の為に飲んだけど、最後らへん少し気持ち悪くなった。
・9:50に終了。写真撮影頼んでない人はそのまま帰る。頼んだ人はチェックインしたところに行き、撮ってもらった写真ぱらぱらと確認し40ドル支払う。iPhoneを渡してデータ移行してくれてSDカードもくれる。
【感想】
船に乗ってる間、ずっと楽しい音楽流れてるし、景色も綺麗だし係の人たちも優しくて日本語少し喋れるから、本当に船乗っているだけでも楽しかった。とってもいい思い出になって体験できてよかった!

Reviewed by: Candy

This was me and my husband's first time riding an ATV, they do not throw you out there without training on how to ride the atv. They slowly start you off with a guide to make sure that you are safe to ride on your own. Then the exhilarating fun begins with screaming and a burst of zeal to finish the circle trail. This was a lot of fun and I recommend almost all ages to go. Also they take you by the ocean to ride as well as the trail. Oh I almost forgot!!! They have cool animals if you like to pet and feed them.

Kaneohe Sandbar Tour with Snorkel, Kayak, SUP & Live Hawaiian Music - Kaneohe Bay Ocean Sports

No sandbar visible at all

Reviewed by: Nancy O

We recognize that no one can control the weather, the tides, or the water depth on any given day but the company could note on their website that the water level has been so high lately that it's rare that the sandbar is visible. Having pictures on the website that show the sandbar above water is very misleading without any asterisks as to weather conditions, water depths, or tides.

The afternoon we went in mid October 2022, the water over the sandbar was about 4-5' deep. It wasn't until we talked with one of the crew who said the sandbar has only been visible about two days this whole summer. Had we known that, we wouldn't have booked but of course, that's exactly why they don't post anything about the rising ocean on the website because they'd lose money. So instead, they let people think they'll get the experience like the photos show which is pretty misleading and close to false advertising.

Unfortunately, we also got a cloudy afternoon with intermittent rain and pretty choppy water so weren't able to try the standup paddle boards or kayaks.

The two-guy band on the boat was good. They played 3 songs on the short boat ride out to the sandbar and then a couple on the way back. They didn't play during the time at the sandbar.

The turkey croissant lunch was good.

The floating suntanning platform near the sandbar was unusable. It had built-in chairs but if you wanted your towel, you had to hold it above your head to keep it dry and swim, tread, or walk in 4' water from the boat to the platform. It would have been helpful if a crew member took towels, etc. over to the platform on a paddle board or something so they'd be dry.

If you have kids or you're a short adult who doesn't want to have to tread water or wear a life vest for the 3+ hours in the water over the sandbar, this isn't the excursion for you. We had a better sandbar off the beach at the Outrigger hotel in Waikiki. Also, the water on Oahu's north shore isn't as clear as in Waikiki.

Absolutely breathtaking. まさに絶景。

Reviewed by: ロコロコ

We participated as a couple. We took a shuttle bus to the port and transferred to a boat to the sandbar. The scenery was truly breathtaking. We were blessed with good weather and enjoyed snorkeling and paddleboarding. During snorkeling, we were able to see fish playing around the corals and even spotted a sea turtle up close, which was moving. On the boat while it was anchored, there were plenty of snacks, apples, and drinks, so we didn't have to worry about getting hungry. The staff were all very friendly, which made the tour even more enjoyable. However, this tour had mostly Japanese participants (there were also people from Taiwan and Korea), but the explanations about how to spend time in the sea and safety instructions were only in English. After the English explanation, they asked those who didn't understand to raise their hands, and a Japanese staff member provided explanations in Japanese as a service. On another optional tour, they always provided explanations in Japanese along with the English ones, so that was a bit disappointing. Overall, it was really fun to experience a different side of Hawaii than Honolulu. I definitely recommend participating when you go to Hawaii.

送迎バスで港に行き、船に乗り換えサンドバーへ。
まさに絶景でした。
天候にも恵まれシュノーケリング、ボードを楽しみました。
シュノーケリングではサンゴと戯れる魚、そしてウミガメを近くで見ることもでき、感動しました。
係留中の船内にはスナック菓子やりんご、ドリンクがたくさんあり、小腹が空いても安心でした。
スタッフの皆さんもとてもフレンドリーで、よりツアーを楽しめました。
ただ、今回のツアーはほとんどが日本人(台湾・韓国の方もいらっしゃいました)だったのですが、海での過ごし方や注意事項の説明は英語のみでした。
英語説明終了後、「はい、わからなかった人。(船に)残って」と挙手をさせて、日系人スタッフからサービスのように日本語での説明がありました。
別のオプショナルツアーでは、英語説明と一緒に必ず日本語で説明してくれたので、その点だけは残念でした。
総合的にはホノルルとは違ったハワイが味わえ、本当に楽しかったです。
ハワイに行った時は是非参加していただきたいと思います。

I had participated before, but my child had never experienced it, so I wanted them to have the opportunity and joined again. It's quite rare to interact with dolphins like this, and I was able to see many smiles on my child's face. I would like to participate again.

以前も参加したことがありましたが、子どもは体験したことがなく、子供にも体験させたくてまた参加しました。ここまでイルカと触れ合えるのはなかなか無く、子どもの笑顔をたくさん見ることが出来ました。また参加したいと思います。

Sandbar Tour サンドバーツアー

Reviewed by: sayu

I participated with my husband on our honeymoon. Although it was mentioned that masks were required, we brought them just in case but did not wear them.

The boat ride was very smooth, and even though I usually get seasick, I felt completely fine and was able to enjoy snacks without feeling nauseous! Even those who typically get seasick might be okay with this experience.

Before boarding, we had to sign something like a contract, but hardly anyone was dressed as stated in the document; most people were in casual clothing with their arms and legs exposed. So, it might not be as strict as the regulations suggest.

On the boat, they played live Hawaiian music, and we spent our time enjoying snacks like donuts and drinks. Once we arrived, we could swim right away, and there were free rentals for snorkeling and kayaking. There were also paid options like banana boats and jet skis available if there were openings on the day.

We had about two hours to enjoy the sea, which felt quite leisurely. On the return boat, they offered warm tea to help warm us up. The explanations were given in English, Japanese, and Korean, and although they were a bit broken, they were understandable.

Overall, the sea was not as impressive as I had imagined, but perhaps it was just the timing? Regardless, I appreciated the chance to relax, enjoyed the snacks as much as I wanted, and my husband seemed satisfied, so I rated it four stars.

One disappointing aspect was that the location is far from Honolulu, so we requested transportation, but both the outbound and return trips were delayed. In the morning, we were about 20 minutes late, but the return bus also took a long time to depart. The driver eventually returned to inform us that one group of passengers was still eating their snacks, and we couldn't leave until they finished. This was understandably frustrating. Other tourists were also getting impatient, and it seemed that someone went to talk to the couple eating to expedite things. We finally departed about 30 minutes later, which was unacceptable.

I would appreciate it if you could mention in the guidelines that eating is not allowed during the trip, or that transportation will not be provided if passengers choose to eat. The couple was apparently unaware that they would be departing soon, but their assumptions inconvenienced others. I also thought it was rude that they sat down without apologizing.

The staff, atmosphere, and service were good, but the transportation issues before and after really detracted from the experience.

ハネムーンで夫と参加しました。マスク着用とありましたが、私達は念のため持っていきましたが着用はしませんでした。
道中の船はとても静かに進み、いつも薬を飲んでいても船酔いする私がまったくせず、軽食を食べても酔いもせず快適でした!普段船酔いする方でもこれなら大丈夫かもしれません。
事前に契約書?みたいなのにサインするのですが、そこに書かれているような服装の人はほぼおらず、普通にみんな足とか腕とか出た服装でした。だからいろいろ規約に書かれているほど厳しくないのかもしれないです。
船ではハワイアンミュージックを生演奏してくれるのでそれを聞いたり、軽食のドーナツや飲み物を飲んで過ごしました。
着いてからはそのまま泳げますし、シュノーケルやカヤックなども無料で貸し出しがあるのですることができます。有料のバナナボートや水上バイク?も当日空きがあればお金を支払って参加できます。
着いてからは丸々2時間ほどあったのでしょうか?かなりゆっくり海に入っていられた印象です。
帰りのボートでは暖かい紅茶もあるので冷えた身体を温められます。
説明は英語、日本語、韓国語などで片言ですが伝わります。
全体的に想像してたより海は普通で感動はしませんでしたがタイミングなのでしょうか?
とりあえずゆっくりできたこと、軽食は好きなだけ食べれたこと、彼が満足そうだったので、星4にしました。
1つ残念なこととしては場所がホノルルから離れているので送迎をお願いしたのですが、行きも帰りも遅かったこと。朝も20分ほど予定から遅れていましたが、まさかの帰りのバスも待っても待っても出発せず、運転手が戻ってきて告げたのは乗客の1組が現地で軽食を食べている。それが終わらないことには出られないとのこと。勿論イライラ。外人の観光客もしびれをきらしそのご飯中の1組のところへ行って話し合って来てくれたようで、なんとか30分後くらいには出発できましたがあり得なかったです。
申し訳ないですが注意事項に現地での途中飲食は出来ませんとか、途中飲食される場合は送迎致しませんとか書いて下さい。食べていたカップルはそんなにすぐ出発すると思わなかったと言っていたと運転手が言っていましたが、勝手な思い込みは他の人が迷惑です。乗車の際も謝りもせず普通に座って何様なのかと思いました。
スタッフ、雰囲気、サービスは良かっただけにその前後の送迎が足を引っ張った感じがします。

乗馬体験(1.5時間) ノースショアの海辺を散策!ロマンチックなサンセットプランや貸切プランから選べる 8歳から参加OK!

I wonder if it's okay for beginners in horseback riding. 乗馬初心者でも大丈夫かな

Reviewed by: ウミガメ

Since the trail tour at Kualoa Ranch was fully booked and I was planning to go to Haleiwa, I made a reservation here, which was available nearby. The staff explained how to operate the horse, but I couldn't understand any English at all. However, I was able to grasp the basic commands for the horse (go, stop, turn left, turn right) through gestures. Once we set off on the trail, our horse followed the staff's horse on its own, so we hardly needed to use the reins (the horse is smart!).

While swaying on the horse's back, I was able to slowly enjoy the view of the ocean through the pine forest by the beach, making it enjoyable even for someone with no riding experience. It's best to wear clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting dirty, and keep your belongings to a minimum (no backpacks allowed; you can fit a phone and a water bottle in the saddlebag that hangs from the saddle).

クアロアランチのトレイルツアーが予約いっぱいでハレイワに行くつもりだったので近隣で予約可能だったこちらを予約。
対応してくれたスタッフが馬の操作方法を説明してくれましたがこちらは英語全く聞き取れず
しかし身振りでお馬さんの簡単な操作方法(進め・止まれ・右左ターン)は理解できましたしいざトレイルに出発するとスタッフの馬に我々の馬は勝手に追従してくれてほぼ、手綱操作は不要でした(お馬さん賢い!)
馬の背中に揺られながらゆっくりとビーチ横の松林を海を眺めてることができ乗馬未経験でも楽しむことができました。
服装・靴は汚れても良い格好で荷物も最小限(リュック不可で鞍に引っ掛けるサドルバッグにケータイと水筒が入るくらい)でいきましょう。

North Shore ATV Tour Off-Road Adventure - Oceanfront Trails, Meet Farm Animals & Tree Planting

Such a cool experience!

Reviewed by: Lauren

We had a blast ATV-ing at North shore stables! While you wait to get started they have a small petting zoo with goats, a pig, tortoise; and puppies which was a nice surprise. You can feed them as well. The view was gorgeous of the mountains and ocean. The staff was very nice and friendly. They have a track where you can go fast as well.
