We participated in a two-hour course as a couple. Since we don't usually ride mountain bikes, we were a bit anxious, but it was great that we had some time to practice in a wide area before hitting the course. Plus, the electric assist made it easy and comfortable to ride. On the wide paths, we rode in two columns, but since it wasn't a race, if you felt confident, you could move to the front of the group, and if not, you could just take it slow at the back. You generally get the hang of it once you join. We were at the front of the group, following the staff.
There were several places along the way where we could take breaks and take photos. The staff were kind, and if you asked them, they were happy to take pictures for you. I think it would be nice if they could provide towels and water as well.
Actually, we initially planned to join a four-wheeler buggy tour, but switching to the e-bike was the right choice. The reason is that if the group at the front happens to be slow, it can feel like a traffic jam, and you might find the pace a bit lacking. Even if you want to go ahead, you can't overtake due to the width of the course. With the e-bike, you can adjust the formation of the line based on the pace, and if you encounter a slow-moving buggy group, you can easily overtake them. In fact, this option offers more mobility and comfort. The day we participated was cloudy, so it was nice and cool while riding.
There's still more to share, but that's the gist of it.
2時間コースを夫婦で参加しました。普段マウンテンバイクは乗らないので不安でしたが、コースに出る前に広いところで練習する時間がちょっとあったりしたのでよかったです。しかも電動アシストは楽々で乗ってて快適でした。広い道は2列で走りましたが、競争ではないのでグループの中で自信があれば前の方に出ればいいし、逆であれば後方でゆっくりついていけばいいしその辺は参加したらだいたいわかります。うちらはグループの先頭にいてスタッフに付いていく感じでした。途中何度か休憩する場所がありそこで写真が撮れます。スタッフも優しいので頼んだら喜んで写真を撮ってくれます。タオルや水なども用意できたらいいと思います。
実は最初四輪バギーのツアーに参加する予定でしたが、eバイクにして正解⭕でした。何故かと言うと、グループの先頭がたまたま遅かったりすると、渋滞っぽくなりゆっくりだらだら進むため、人によったら物足りなさを感じるかもしれません。先にいきたくてもコース幅の関係で追い抜きできませんし。eバイクならペースにより列の編成を変えたりできるし、ゆっくり走るバギーのグループに出くわしても端からガンガン追い抜き出来ました。実はこちらの方が機動力もあり快適です。参加した日は曇りだったので走ると涼しくてよかったです。
まだまだありますがこんな感じです。

This was my third time participating in the tour. I joined with my girlfriend. The shuttle bus for previous tours was like a Ku'alola Ranch-style (a Western-style bus that was frankly quite old), but this time it was a regular large sightseeing bus, and it was a very clean bus. The comfort of the shuttle has improved.
After arriving, we immediately completed the reservation confirmation process, then stored our luggage in a locker before participating in the activities. After watching a safety video, we started with about six other participants on the same course.
This time it was a two-hour course, but the accompanying woman was constantly on her phone, just texting. Last time, at a Ku'alola-like place, there was a service where they took pictures of the participants with their phones in turn, but this time there was none at all. Moreover, we didn't even pass by the Jurassic Park dinosaur bone remains spot? We finished with over 30 minutes left. I was disappointed to see such a difference in the attending staff!
We were familiar with the process since it was our third time, but first-time participants might have felt like they were just riding through a forest course without experiencing the breathtaking views...
I just wish they had made sure to utilize the scheduled time properly.
今回で3度目のツアー参加でした。
彼女と2人で参加しました。
前回までの送迎バスは、クアロラランチっぽい(ウエスタン調なバスで、はっきり言って古びたバス)でしたが、今回は通常の大型観光バス、しかもかなり綺麗なバスでの送迎に変わってました。 送迎は快適さがUPしています。
到着後すぐに予約確認手続きを行い、その後ロッカーに荷物を預けてアクティビティ参加となります。ビデオでの注意説明を観た後に、同じコースの6人ほどとスタートしました。
今回2時間コースでしたが、付き添いの女性は ずっと携帯でメールばかりをしていました。前回は、クアロラっぽい場所で順番に参加者の携帯で写真を撮ってくれたりのサービスがあったのですが、今回は全くありません。しかも、コースも、ジュラシックパークの恐竜の骨の残骸スポットも通ることなく? 30分以上 時間を残しての終了となりました。 アテンドのスタッフでここまで違うのか! とがっかりしました。
私たちは3度目だ要領を得ていましたが、初めての参加者は絶景なコースを通らなかったので、林間コースを中心とする乗馬と感じたでしょう、、、
せめて、申し込み時間はきちんと消化して欲しかったです。

I raced through the world of Jurassic World on a bicycle! Since it was an electric-assist mountain bike, I was able to power through steep hills and bumpy paths with ease! At first, going downhill was scary because of the speed, but once I got used to it, I was able to glide smoothly and it felt great! The scenery was on a completely different scale than in Japan, and I fell even more in love with Hawaii!

I participated with my son and daughter. There were three people from Taiwan and one staff member from Kualoa Ranch with us. At the beginning, they properly taught us the names of the horses, which made communication easy. The endless vast scenery was breathtaking from start to finish. At one point, they took my smartphone and captured family photos of us riding, and the staff member, who looked cool, was actually very kind and showed a deep love for the horses. I was able to savor the incredible and extraordinary experience that I could never have in Japan, feeling as if I was in a different world. I want to tell everyone that the experience of riding horses at Kualoa Ranch has become a treasure of my life. I think the two-hour course is a good choice.

It was an experience with professional hospitality. When I jumped off the large boat, I was excited to see dolphins and turtles swimming nearby and along the seabed. For snacks, we were served juicy beef patties in hamburgers, pineapple, snacks, and lemonade. I usually don't get seasick, but I felt a bit uneasy, so I didn't eat and took it back with me (there were some people who got sick). There was also a photographer on site who took pictures for us, which were available for purchase. I was a little anxious about snorkeling for the first time, but I had no worries and enjoyed it. I'm glad I participated and I recommend it.

It was more thrilling and scary than water slides in Japan, but it was incredibly fun! Since the water pressure is strong, it might be better to wear sandals that won't slip off rather than flip-flops (I wore flip-flops and had to hold them in my hands or leave them at the entrance when sliding). It's recommended because both small children and adults can enjoy it, and there are no lines at all!
日本のウォータースライダーよりも迫力があって、怖かったですが最高に楽しかったです!
水の勢いがあるので、ビーチサンダルよりも、脱げないタイプのサンダルの方がいいかも(私はビーチサンダルを履いていってしまったので、滑るときには手にかかるか入り口に置いていきました)

I went for the 150m! The view was great, and it was just the right amount of thrill, so I had a lot of fun! The crew member on the boat didn't seem to speak Japanese and started with a strong "We're going to drop you in, okay?" I was dropped about two times to the point where my lower body got wet, haha. I don't think my makeup came off, so that's a relief.
I was able to hold my GoPro while riding, but I was told it was at my own risk not to drop it. I rode with a group of Japanese people and what seemed to be a Korean couple, and we were lucky to exchange photos via AirDrop. They were also selling the photos taken with a digital camera from below on the way back, and I could buy one for 3,000 yen after checking how it turned out! I usually get motion sickness easily, but I didn't feel sick at all this time, probably because the driver was really skilled! ⭐︎

The attention and hospitality from the captain and crew were outstanding! They spoke Japanese, and their explanations were both interesting and easy to understand, allowing us to participate with peace of mind. The crew offered to take our pictures, which made us very happy since we were traveling as a couple. We were able to see sea turtles multiple times. My friend, who couldn't participate in snorkeling, was offered alternatives like stand-up paddleboarding and a short cruise, making it a very satisfying tour for both of us. Even during the farewell, they waved goodbye, and on the bus ride back, we heard others saying, "The hospitality is just amazing." I'm really glad we participated.

**Parasailing**
It was my first experience, and it was so much fun! The scenery was beautiful, and it felt great. I thought I would only be dropped into the sea at the end, but thanks to the captain's service, I got to splash down twice during the ascent and at the end! The immersion was just right, and I could really feel the captain's skill. The airtime was long, and I was very satisfied with the experience!
There were 10 participants in total, including 9 Japanese people and 1 Australian, which included our group of four. The Australian seemed experienced and flew solo. The three-person rides also looked like a lot of fun.
**Photography**
I took photos from the sky with a GoPro and my smartphone, and my family took pictures from the boat, so I declined the staff's photography service. Only one group among the participants requested photography.
**Transportation & Items**
Since transportation to the hotel was included, I participated in a swimsuit and T-shirt. The driver was very cheerful and had a great service spirit, making the round trip enjoyable. I took motion sickness medication based on everyone's experiences and was able to enjoy it without feeling sick until the end. I also applied sunscreen very carefully. The Hawaiian sun is strong, and I felt like I was getting roasted.
A towel is needed for the car ride back. Those who forgot it used the clothes they were wearing on top.
I plan to participate again when I visit Hawaii!
【パラセーリング】

I had previously experienced parasailing in Okinawa, but the parasailing in Hawaii was on a different scale in terms of scenery and height! Since you don't need to control anything or exert much effort, I especially recommend participating at 150 meters for those who are not particularly anxious.
The weather was great, so I was able to see the ocean stretching to the horizon, the resort area with hotels, and Diamond Head clearly. They picked us up in front of the hotel, and a group of 6 to 8 people boarded the boat, taking turns to fly up into the sky. Once everyone in the group had their experience, we returned to the port and were taken back to the hotel in a shared minibus.
I was able to request in advance to join the same group as acquaintances who were participating at 100 meters, which was helpful. Most of the other participants and the local tour guides spoke mainly in English, so I couldn't catch all the explanations, but they communicated basic instructions in Japanese, like "sign here," "put this on," and "lift your legs," so I didn't feel particularly anxious.
One thing to note is that there was someone from another group who got seasick and looked exhausted at the port, so if you're prone to motion sickness, I recommend taking some medication beforehand. Also, when they asked if it was okay to get wet, if you respond with "okay," they will add an action that submerges you in the water up to your waist, so if you're okay with that, I suggest bringing a bath towel or something light to wear. The shuttle bus has air conditioning, so if you're wet, it can get quite cold. There isn't really a place or timing to change, so having something to wear during the ride would be good.
The duration of the activity is short, and no special preparations are needed, so I especially recommend it for those who are unsure about what to do.
以前沖縄でもパラセーリングは体験済みでしたが、ハワイでのパラセーリングは景色も高さもスケールが違いました!
自分でコントロールしたり、力が必要だったりということもないので、特に不安がない方は150メートルでの参加をオススメします。
天気も良かったので地平線が続く海とホテルが集まったリゾート地区、ダイアモンドヘッドまでしっかり見ることができました。
ホテル前でピックアップしてもらい、6から8人が1組でボートに乗り込み、順番で上空へ飛ぶという流れです。同船全組の体験が終われば港に戻ってきて、同じように小型バスに乗合ってホテルまで送っていただけます。
事前に問い合わせで依頼し、100メートルで参加する知り合いのグループと同じ組で参加することができ、助かりました。他の参加者も現地のツアー開催者の方たちも英語がメインでしたので説明が全く聞き取れませんでしたが、ここにサイン書いてーや、これ付けてー、足あげてー、等基本的な部分は日本語で話してくれるので特別不安になることはなかったです。
気になることがあるとすれば、他の組の方で船に酔われて港でぐったりされている方がおられたので、気になる方は事前に酔い止め服用がいいかと思います。また、ビショビショオーケー?と聞かれた際、オーケーと答えると腰くらいまで海に浸かるようなアクションを加えてもらえるのですが、その気であればバスタオルか軽く羽織るものを準備するかといいかと思います。送迎のバスはクーラーが効いているので濡れたままだとかなり冷えます。着替えるような場所やタイミングはないので、移動中羽織るくらいのものがあればと思います。
所用時間も短く、事前準備も特に必要ないので何をしようか迷われている方に特にオススメです。

After a relaxing time at the beach, my daughter and I joined in, dressed up just a little. (laughs) The dinner was delicious. There was absolutely no stiffness at all. However, I thought it might be a bit disappointing for repeat visitors that there hasn't been any change in the menu for a long time. Also, while it's understandable if the place is full, I would appreciate it if the spacing between tables could be adjusted a bit when there is room available. As for the show, all the performers were wonderful. Presley had a friendly vibe. And above all, the beautiful smiles of the hula dancers, like flowers, always make me feel how amazing it is to come to Hawaii. Michael, who was one of the highlights, sounded just like him from the very first note, and I enjoyed listening nostalgically. The fire dance that appeared in the second half was also full of excitement, making it a very enjoyable time.

I participated in late November.
I think there are seasonal issues, but the waves were strong and the current was fast, causing many people to get seasick.
I saw that the boat is new and large, which supposedly makes it less shaky, but don't get your hopes up. The boat rocked, and after going into the rough sea with waves and strong currents two or three times, it really drained my energy and made me more prone to seasickness! For those participating, if you determine that the current is strong, I think it's better to just float and look down rather than trying to swim. Even if you're confident in your swimming skills, it's not just about that. Please be careful not to overestimate your abilities.
I was able to see dolphins both on the boat and in the water, but that's purely a matter of luck. I've seen promotional photos where many dolphins come close, but you shouldn't expect that. I think many people only catch a glimpse of them from a distance.
If you're just looking to see dolphins, there are other places where you can see and interact with them. You can also go snorkeling in beautiful, calm waters elsewhere. Unless you really want to see wild dolphins, I wouldn't particularly recommend this experience.
11月下旬に参加。
時期的な問題もあると思うが波があり潮の流れも早く、
多くの方が船酔いしていました。
船が新しく大きいから揺れにくいというのを見たけど
期待してはいけません。
船上で揺れた上、波があり潮がキツイ海に2度、3度入るとかなりの体力を消耗し、酔いやすくなります!
参加される方は、潮がキツイと判断したらただ浮いて下を見て浮いてるくらいに留めておいた方がいいかと思います。
泳ぎには自信があってもそういう問題ではないのだなと感じました。とにかく過信しないようにして下さい。
船上でも海中でもイルカを見れましたがこればかりは運です。プロモーションで多くのイルカが近くに寄ってきている写真を見ますがこれは期待してはいけません。かなり遠くで一瞬見れただけという人も多いと思います。
イルカだけなら他にも見れますし、触れ合える場所もあります。綺麗で穏やかな海でシュノーケリングも他で出来ます。
野生のイルカをとにかく見たい!という方以外には特にオススメするものでもないかなあ

I participated with my family of three (my wife, our fifth-grade son, and myself) during the flying stone holiday in October. In the past, I had gone on a company trip to Guam and watched a luau at a certain domestic place, and I wanted to show my family that experience, especially since it included a meal.
◇ Good Points
- About half of the participants were Japanese, which allowed us to somewhat feel like we were abroad in Hawaii.
◇ Disappointing Points
- The show’s production was too tailored to American tastes, making it hard to feel the essence of Hawaii.
- The food was also very American.
* I was expecting luau dishes (like roasted pig), but...
- I opted for the economy course to save money, but the difference in service compared to the higher-tier course was too stark (though this might be due to the price difference).
* In the higher-tier course, seats are closer to the front, and the seating and buffet meal guidance are prioritized. Additionally, leis are given to everyone, making the visual difference between us common folks and others painfully clear and causing unnecessary feelings of inferiority.
◇ Overall Impression
I found the production very disappointing, and the fire dance show I saw at the certain domestic place might have been more impressive. I thought I was paying a decent amount for Hawaii, but I only got one welcome Mai Tai, and I regretted that I would have been better off having a steak outside. Well, my wife and son were happy, so I guess that’s okay...
◇ Additional Note
By the way, there is a bar where you can buy drinks with cash if you want, so parents who enjoy alcohol can rest assured.
10月の飛石連休の中で家族三人(嫁+小五息子+自分)と参加しました
過去、自分だけ社員旅行で行ったグアムと○ワイ○ンズ(某国内)でルアウを観ていて、家族にも見せたいという思いと食事付きという内容により参加しました。
◇良かったところ
・ハワイにしては日本人の参加者が半分位で外国に来た気分が多少味わえました。
◇残念なところ
・ショーの演出がアメリカ人好みの演出すぎてあまりハワイを感じられなかった。
・食事もアメリカン
※ルアウ料理(子豚ちゃんの丸焼き?など)を期待していたのに・・・
・値段をケチってエコノミーコースを申し込んだのですが、上のコースとのサービスの差が激しすぎる(これは値段の差なのでしょうがないかも)
※上級コースだと席が前の方というのもあるけど、席への案内も食事(ブュッフェ式)の案内も先。さらにレイが全員にプレゼントされ、我々庶民との差がビジュアル的に一目瞭然で余計な劣等感を感じてしまう。
◇総評
自分としては演出がとても残念だったし、ファイヤーダンスなどは寧ろ「○ワイ○ンズ(某国内)」でみたショーの方が迫力があったかも。
ハワイでもそこそこの値段を払ったつもりなのに、酒 もウェルカムマイタイの一杯だけで、普通に外でステーキでも食べた方が良かったと後悔しています。
まぁ、嫁と小五の息子は喜んでいたからまぁ良いか・・・
◇補足
ちなみに、お酒はバーがあって飲みたければ現金払いでも買えるのでお酒好きのお父さんお母さんはご安心ください。

The shuttle service was excellent, and there were staff members who spoke Japanese, so I felt安心して楽しめました until the end. The waves were so big that I was surprised by the rocking during the meal while we were docked. Several people were feeling seasick, so I think it's best to be prepared if you're going to board.
送迎もバッチリで、日本語が話せるスタッフもいて最後まで安心して楽しめました。
波があまりに大きく、停泊中の食事の最中
から最後まで、揺れに驚かさせれました
何人も酔っている方がいらっしゃったので
覚悟して乗船された方が良いと思います

I was a bit anxious about my English listening skills, but I enjoyed it without any problems! The scenery was amazing, and it felt really nice when we were heading towards the sea! The staff were very cheerful, which left a good impression. I thought the price was a bit high, but considering it's an activity on a scale that's hard to find in Japan, I think it's worth it.
英語の聞き取りに自信がなく少し不安でしたが、問題なく楽しめました!景色も最高で、海に向かうラインのときはとっても気持ちよかった!スタッフがとっても愉快な人たちでそれも好印象でした。お値段は高いなーと思いましたが、日本ではなかなかできないスケールのアクティビティかなと思うと、まあいいかと思えます。

My first surfing experience in life.
I was skeptical about whether I could actually stand on the board, but the tour introduction was not misleading at all.
My young son was also able to stand on the board, and we had a truly valuable experience.
As a man in my forties with only skateboarding experience from my elementary school days, I was able to ride the waves, and I feel like I'm finally getting hooked on surfing.
人生初のサーフィン体験。
ちゃんとボードに立てるのか?
半信半疑だったのですが、
ツアーの紹介に嘘偽りはありませんでした。
幼い息子もボードに立てており、
とても貴重な体験をさせて頂きました。

I had made a reservation for four people in the most expensive area, but when we arrived, there were no available seats for four. We ended up having to ask other guests who were already seated to move, creating a cramped seating arrangement. The location of our seats was only about a meter away from the regular seating area, and it was hardly different from the regular seats. In fact, the regular seats were more spacious and comfortable, which made for a very disappointing situation.
一番高額なエリアの席を事前に4名で予約をしていたのに、行ってみたら4名の席の空きがなく、既に着席している他のお客さんに移動をしてもらって詰め詰めの席をつくる始末。席の場所も、普通の席のエリアと1メートル程の通路を挟んだだけの位置で、普通の席とたいして変わらず、むしろ普通の席の方がゆったり座れるているという最悪の状況でした。
Thank you for your patronage.
However, I understand that you may have felt disappointed as the service provided did not meet your expectations, despite purchasing the highest package.
Upon checking with the local operating company on the day of the event, I learned that while seats were secured for the number of guests, they are assigned on a first-come, first-served basis. Therefore, if other customers arrive first, it may be necessary for them to move in order to secure a space where everyone can sit together.
We appreciate your understanding.

ご利用ありがとうございます。
しかしながら、一番高いパッケージを購入いただいたにも関わらず、ご期待のそったサービスが提供されず残念なお気持ちだったかと察します。
当日の状況を現地催行会社に確認しましたところ、人数分の席を確保しているものの先着順に席を案内しているため、他のお客様が先に来られた場合、みなさまが一緒に座れるスペースを確保するためにも、他のお客様に移動いただく場合もあるとのことでございます。
何卒ご了承ください。

We chose this horseback riding experience because it has no age restrictions, and we have a 9-year-old child. The bus was full since it was the final stop, but the driver’s friendly approach created a pleasant atmosphere.
We stopped at Dole Plantation, which was a short visit, but we had enough time to enjoy it. At the beach, we even encountered wild sea turtles, and in the meantime, they made a reservation for garlic shrimp, making it easy to enjoy with kids. The tour price was reasonable.
The horseback riding experience was well-explained, and they encouraged us to bond with the horses, which made it a reassuring experience. Depending on the horse, it seems like a great activity for a wide age range. I hope to bring my parents, who are in their 60s, someday. By the way, the restrooms were clean and stylish, even though they were in a container.
Along the way, the instructor took photos and provided explanations about the beach, allowing us to enjoy horseback riding while feeling the pleasant breeze throughout the experience.
On the way back, they mentioned that the route might change depending on traffic conditions, and we were lucky to take a different route than we came, which allowed us to see various landscapes.
親子で9歳の子がいるので年齢制限クリアのこちらの乗馬体験にしました。
お迎えが最終地だったのでバスは満席。でもドライバーさんの声かけでみんな和やかな雰囲気。
立ち寄りのドールプランテーション、時間は短時間ですが充分楽しめました。
海辺では野生の海ガメにも出会え、その間にガーリックシュリンプの予約もしてくれて子供連れには負担なく楽しめました。ツアー料金に納得いきます。
乗馬は説明も細かく、お馬さんと仲良くなれるよう声もかけてくれて安心して体験できました。お馬さんにもよりますが年齢幅広く体験できるいいものだなと。いつか60代の両親もつれてきてあげたいです。どうでもいいですがトイレがきれいでした。コンテナなのにおしゃれな内装。
途中インストラクターさんが写真撮影もしてくれるし、ビーチの説明もしてくれるので終始ここちいい風をあびながら乗馬できました。
帰り道は渋滞状況に応じてルート変更があるとのことで、この時は来た道ではないルートを通ってくれていろんな景色を見ることができラッキーでした。

We participated as a family of three. At first, we were unsure if the adults should just observe, but since participation was required for guardians with children under 10, we decided to join in. (If there's one person observing, you can take your own videos and photos from a distance in addition to the purchased photos.)
Since we arrived at 9:30 AM, we enjoyed seeing sea turtles and dolphins swimming in the pool until our experience at 11:45 AM, making it feel like a mini aquarium. During the sea turtle lecture, we even got to touch baby sea turtles, which I think is something you can't experience in Japan.
The pool was a bit deep, so it was definitely necessary to have someone accompany the children. The Japanese staff explained how to swim and interact, and when it was time to swim, they provided encouragement, making it a safe and enjoyable experience.
I'm glad we splurged on this. It became a wonderful memory. Throughout the journey, the driver kindly explained things in front of beautiful beaches and pointed out when we could see whales, making it a lovely tour.
親子3人で参加しました。最初は大人は見学にしようか迷いましたが10歳以下は保護者参加必須だったので参加にしました。(見学が1人いると購入写真以外に自分で動画や遠くからですが写真が撮影できます)
お迎えから到着が9時半だったので11時45分の体験まではウミガメを見たりプールで泳いでいるイルカを見たり水族館みたいに楽しめました。ウミガメのレクチャーではウミガメの赤ちゃんのタッチができたりと日本では体験できないと思います。
プールは少し深めなので子供の付き添いがやはりいるなと。泳ぎ方やふれあい方は日本人スタッフさんが説明してくれましたし、いざ泳ぐときも声掛けがあって安心で楽しく過ごせました。
奮発してよかったです。いい思い出になりました。道中は運転手さんがきれいなビーチ前で説明やクジラが見えたよと声もかけてくれたりと優しいツアーでした。

It swayed more than I imagined! It was a day with not much wind, but we were rocked quite a bit by the waves, so I think motion sickness medication is a must. As long as you don't get seasick, I think it's a very enjoyable tour! ☺︎
想像以上に揺れました!そんなに風がない日でしたが、かなり波に揺られたので酔い止めは必須だと思います。酔いさえしなければとても楽しめるツアーだと思います☺︎

I was worried about getting seasick since I get motion sickness on airplanes, but after taking some motion sickness medication, I didn't feel sick at all! The captain's driving was amazing! During snorkeling, I saw a lot of fish, and a sea turtle even rushed towards us. I was told not to touch it, but it came over to me, so I couldn't help it, haha. The BBQ meat during the meal was very delicious. It's a shame I couldn't eat much because I was worried about seasickness. The staff's conversations were entertaining, and they even took a two-shot photo with us, making it a very fulfilling tour.
飛行機でも酔う程なので、船酔いが心配でしたが、酔い止めをのんだら全く船酔いしませんでした!船長さんの運転が素晴らしい!!シュノーケリングでは、魚もたくさん見れたし、海ガメがこちらに突進してきてきました。触ってはいけないと言われてたけど、海ガメから触りに来たから仕方ない笑 食事ではBBQのお肉がとても美味しかったです。船酔いが心配だったのであまり食べられなかったのが残念。スタッフの皆さんのトークが面白いし、ツーショット写メも撮ってくれてとても充実したツアーでした。
Aloha! Thank you very much for participating in the Captain Bruce's Paradise of the Sea Tour. Kaneohe Bay is relatively calm, so it is said that seasickness is less common compared to cruises in Waikiki. However, some guests may still experience it, so we are glad to hear that you took precautions against seasickness and were able to enjoy the tour until the end! We all sincerely look forward to your next visit.
アロハ!キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーです。この度はご参加いただき誠にありがとうございました。 カネオヘ湾は比較的波も穏やかなので、ワイキキなどのクルーズと比べては船酔いは少ないとされております。が、それでも寄ってしまうお客様もいらっしゃいますので、船酔い対策をしてきていただき、最後までツアーを楽しんでいただけたようで、良かったです!!またのお越しをスタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げております。

I participated alone and even though my English is terrible, I had a great time! The staff were very kind and gave instructions using gestures and simple words, so it was no problem at all despite my lack of English. As a beginner, I was able to stand firmly on the board and it felt wonderful! I would love to participate again when I come back to Waikiki! Thank you very much!
