I had an awesome time snorkeling and would highly recommend the tour. I am not a strong swimmer and was somewhat anxious about the experience. To calm my fears, Cheiko held my hand for the majority of the tour which allowed me to relax and to challenge myself to let go and enjoy the moment. I felt safe and was able to accomplish a personal goal, especially since I love adventure. What a thrilling ride! My nephew accompanied me who had the time of his life as well!

I loved this experience. Location was easier to find. Check in was simple and easy. I liked the safety video. The real star was the helicopter ride. I highly recommend seeing Oahu from a helicopter and with the doors off!! I was able to take so many amazing pictures. I have been to Oahu many times and seen some of the sights from ground level, but it is nothing like seeing it from the air! Breathtaking!! The ground crew was fabulous, so helpful! I sat in the back on the right side. That was the only thing that was a bummer. I didn't get to a good view of Waikiki and some of the other sights on the left. The pilot, Steve, did do some circles to allow the right side riders to see, but many times, it was enough time to see and take photos. It is windy in the back, so I had to purse my lips throughout most of the flight to keep my lips and cheeks from flapping everywhere! I did wear a sweatshirt because there was a slight chill from the higher altitude. Overall, I give this experience a 10 out of 10!! If I every get back to Hawaii, I will take this helicopter ride again!!

I have done parasailing several times, but this was the highest in terms of altitude and airtime, allowing me to enjoy a leisurely stroll in the sky! The top of Diamond Head was almost at eye level, and I was able to enjoy a view looking down on Waikiki, so I’m glad I chose the 150m parasailing. You do get dropped into the sea quite a bit, but that was fun too. The staff spoke a bit of Japanese and had a sense of humor, which made it enjoyable. They also took plenty of photos while we were flying. However, since the boat has no roof, sun protection is essential.
パラセイリングは何度かやったことがありますが、高さ・滞空時間ともに過去最高で、ゆっくり空中散歩を楽しめました!
ダイヤモンドヘッドの頂上がほぼ目線の先にあり、ワイキキの街もかなり眼下に見下ろせる景色を味わえたので150mのパラセイリングにしてよかったと思います。
海にはガッツリ落とされますが、それも楽しかったです。スタッフさんも片言の日本語をしゃべりユーモアがあって楽しませてくれました。飛んでる間の写真もたくさん撮ってくれます。
ただ、船には屋根がないので日焼け対策は必須ですね。

We traveled to the parasailing location by a small boat. During the ride, the cheerful instructor kept the atmosphere lively and played music, which made it a lot of fun! After moving over the bright blue sea for a while, we took off, and the view of Oahu from the sky was truly breathtaking—a rare sight that can only be seen here. Each group had about 5 minutes, and when we participated, there were four other groups, so there was a bit of a wait. Since the boat kept moving while we waited, those who are prone to motion sickness might want to have some motion sickness medication. Lastly, it was great that we could purchase photos taken by the instructor with a camera on an SD card (it cost an additional $30, but I bought it). I would definitely like to request this again when I visit Hawaii!
パラセーリングをする場所まで小型の船で移動しました。その間も陽気なインストラクターの方が盛り上げてくれたり音楽を流してくれたりでとても楽しかったです!真っ青な海の上をしばらく移動した後に飛んだのですが、空から見るオアフ島は本当に絶景で、ここでしか見られない貴重な景色でした。大体1組5分程度で、私たちが参加した時には他に4組の方々がいらっしゃったので少し待ち時間はありました。待っている間もずっと船が動いているので、酔いやすい方は酔い止めがあった方がいいかもしれません。最後にインストラクターの方がカメラで撮ってくれた写真をSDで購入できたのも良かったです(別途30ドルかかりましたが購入しました)またハワイを訪れた際には是非ここでお願いしたいです。

I participated in the 10 AM session with my 4-year-old son. The guide, who has experience scuba diving in Japan, was fantastic! He encouraged my son, who was scared to go down the stairs to the submarine, saying, "It's not scary—it's exciting!" The guide was also fluent in Japanese and shared a lot of interesting details about the ocean, likely due to his scuba diving experience. Although the view was somewhat monochrome, my son was thrilled every time we got closer to the reef, exclaiming, "It's the fish's house!" I recommend bringing a jacket since it gets cold in the submarine. The round-trip boat ride was quite bumpy, but I didn't get seasick since I stayed on the second deck. According to the staff, it's easier to get seasick on the first floor. You could buy commemorative photos with a card, but it seems cash is the main method of payment. We even saw turtles from the boat, making it a very satisfying tour.
4歳の息子と2人で10時の回に参加しました。スキューバダイビングで日本にいらしたことのあるというガイドさんが最高でした!潜水艦への階段を降りるのを怖がった息子に「怖くないよ〜excitingよ!!」と声を掛けて支えて下さいました。ガイド自体も流暢な日本語でおもしろく、スキューバダイビングをされているせいか海の様子もとても詳しく伝えてもらいました。割とモノクロな視界ではありますが、息子も魚礁に近づく度に「おさかなのおうち!!」と大喜びでした。潜水艦は冷えるので、上着を持って行く事をお勧めします。往復の船は結構揺れましたが、ずっと2階デッキにいたせいか酔いませんでした。スタッフの方曰く、1階の方が酔いやすいとのこと。記念写真はカードでも買えましたが、基本は現金のようです。船から亀も見れて、大満足のツアーでした。

I had always wanted to visit Kualoa Ranch. I wasn't very experienced with horseback riding, and I was worried about the guide speaking English, but it turned out fine! Before riding, we watched an explanation video in Japanese. There was no waiting time at all, and we could get on the horses right away after arriving. The horse I rode was a bit free-spirited and sometimes moved on its own, but it was very well-behaved and walked slowly along the designated path. I had the experience of realizing that Hawaii is not just about the ocean! You can ride a horse through a place that feels like stepping into a movie world! It was so much fun!\(^o^)/ I was disappointed that I didn't have enough time to try the ranch's hamburger (laughs).

The weather had been nice, so I was looking forward to it, but the water clarity wasn't very high. Okinawa and Guam are much prettier. I did encounter a sea turtle, but due to the low water clarity, I couldn't see it very clearly. There were some fish, but it didn't feel like there were many.

ウミガメにも出会えましたが、海の透明度が低いので、あまりクリアには見えませんでした。

Thank you for participating in the tour. The weather was nice, but it was right at high tide, so there were some waves and the visibility wasn't great that day. However, after practicing at the keyhole, we were able to spot a sea turtle right away because it came in with the waves during high tide. That's one of the good points about high tide.
Next time, if you choose to come during low tide, you should be able to enjoy Hanauma Bay with better visibility and lots of beautiful fish. We look forward to your next visit to Hanauma Bay. Thank you very much. Mahalo!!
この度はツアーにご参加いただき、有難うございます。お天気は良かったのですが丁度満ち潮の時間帯でしたので、波もあり透明度は良くなかった日でしたね。ですが、キーホールで練習後、すぐにウミガメさんを見つけられたのは満ち潮の波に乗ってウミガメさんがインサイドに入ってきてくれたからなんですよ。これが満ち潮の良い点でもあります。
ぜひ次回は引き潮の時を選んでお越しいただければ、透明度が良くて綺麗なお魚さんがいっぱいのハナウマ湾を楽しんでいただけるはずです。
またハナウマ湾にお越しいただけることをお待ちしております。ありがとうございました。Mahalo!!

I was looking forward to the all-you-can-eat BBQ lunch and all-you-can-drink soft drinks, but the BBQ was quietly placed inside a dimly lit shed-like building, which brought my mood down. There were few side dishes, and the eating area was swarming with flies. Perhaps because my expectations were high, I was quite disappointed.
The all-you-can-drink soft drinks also had limited options and few places to order from, so in the end, I only had two cups.
Not having a proper changing area was also a downside.
However, the slides had short wait times and were enjoyable.

I was very satisfied with the whale watching I participated in at Shiretoko and Okinawa, so I joined the one in Hawaii with high expectations. I was surprised that we encountered whales right away without having to go far out to sea. Perhaps it’s because they come close to the land to give birth. Because of this, the whales' movements were rather subdued, and we only saw a little bit of their dorsal fins and tails a few times, which was a bit different from the intense experience I had imagined. However, I definitely felt the excitement.
知床と、沖縄で参加したホエールウォッチングが大満足だったので、ハワイも期待して参加しました。沖まで行かなくても、すぐにくじらに遭遇できたことは驚きでした。出産で陸地近くまで来ているからなのでしょうか。その為なのか、くじらの動きが地味で水面から少しの背びれ、しっぽが何度が見られた程度で、想像していた大迫力とはちょっと違いました。ただわくわく感は十分体験できました。

I had a wonderful half-day at the dreamlike sandbar, even though I was a bit anxious about bringing my baby. Everyone was very friendly, and I truly enjoyed the experience!
I was thrilled to swim with the sea turtles that come to work every day (laughs). They were so friendly, and my child was excited when a turtle came close and touched me!
The snorkeling took us to some really deep spots, but for small children, they provided large boogie boards with windows (for a fee) to take them along. They also made sure that both parents could participate separately, showing great attention to detail so that everyone could enjoy their time.
Even if you're not confident in swimming, there are other activities available (like paddle boarding), and it's a great recommendation for those who want to try a little bit of everything—walking on the sandbar, snorkeling, and swimming with the sea turtles! The lunch was delicious too (^ - ^).
Although the calendar indicated low tide, we couldn't walk on the beach, so I might have misunderstood how to read it, or perhaps it was just a low tide that didn't expose the sand. Also, it was just before the jellyfish warning period, but we did see a few jellyfish. It's nature, so that's a bit tricky.
All in all, it was a fun experience! Thank you!

First, regarding the hotel shuttle, because it visits various hotels, the time spent on the bus can be quite long. I was one of the last to be picked up at the Hyatt, so it took about an hour, but those who were picked up first should be prepared for around two hours. This might be a concern for those who need frequent bathroom breaks. It seems that many delays are often caused by participants themselves, such as those who arrive late or go to the wrong meeting point. Once you leave Waikiki, it takes about 30 minutes to arrive using the highway.
We arrived at the site before 10:30. Tour participants lined up at a designated window to receive their tickets and then queued at the gate. The gates opened at 10:30, and while the line wasn't too long, the entry process took some time for each group. Many Japanese visitors had their partially consumed plastic bottles confiscated during the security check. Additionally, there were Japanese guests who lined up at the gate without receiving their tickets, which also caused delays.
After successfully entering, we went to rent a locker. The lockers are rented using a credit card at a terminal, which was a bit confusing, but since it supports Japanese, it wasn't a problem if you stay calm while operating it. The number of lockers is significantly fewer compared to large pools in Japan (like Toshimaen). I wonder what happens if they run out. Perhaps it means that not many people come.
Once we changed, we could finally enjoy ourselves, but by that time it was around 11:00. We were told to return to the bus by 15:00, so if we planned to leave by 14:30, we only had about three and a half hours. Considering lunch time, we effectively had less than three hours, which felt overwhelmingly insufficient. The kids seemed to feel they hadn’t played enough. I had a plan that included shuttle service and a day pass, but those who added a lunch buffet or bodyboarding experience would likely feel even more pressed for time.
The facility itself is more compact than I expected, so moving around doesn't take too long. The crowds are also much lighter compared to Japanese pools, which is a plus. However, there seemed to be only one place to buy lunch, so during peak times, there was quite a wait. It would be good to stagger meal times to save some time.
As for the attractions, overall, they were enjoyable. There are many types of slides that you can't experience in Japan. However, one downside is that some slides require specific floatation devices, and there simply aren't enough of them. Particularly, there were hardly any floatation devices for sliding with children (there were relatively more for single riders). Some of the available ones had holes and were deflated when I picked them up. I really hope this gets improved. With time already being tight, waiting to get a floatation device is frustrating.
The wave pool has large waves and a long duration of waves, which is great. However, there are some rough areas on the floor that could cause scrapes if you're knocked around by the waves. The lazy river is average; the distance for one loop isn't very long. Also, there isn't a typical "just a pool" like you find in Japanese facilities. This is likely why the entire facility is compact, but it doesn't allow for much swimming practice. If you want to swim, you might as well do it in the wave pool when there are no waves.
Overall, the facility is good and enjoyable for adults as well, but the limited time and lack of floatation devices for the slides are drawbacks. Additionally, some attractions are closed at certain times, which is disappointing. I wonder if the closing times are posted somewhere.
The return time of 15:00 does feel early. Perhaps it's to allow for an earlier return to Waikiki so that guests can enjoy shopping as well.
As a time-saving tip, consider wearing your swimsuit in advance and staggering lunch times to reduce waiting at the concession stands.
まずホテルからの送迎ですが、色々なホテルを廻る関係でバスの中にいなければならない時間が長い。自分はハイアットで最後の方だったので1時間位だったが、最初の方にのったひとは2時間くらいは覚悟しないとダメそう。そうなるとトイレが近い人は少し心配。(時間通りに来ない人や集合場所を間違える人など、参加者自身が原因の場合が多そうだが。)ワイキキを出発すればハイウェイ使って30分で着く。
現地には10時半前に到着。ツアーの人はツアー限定の窓口にならんでチケットを貰い、ゲートに並ぶ。10時半開場で列自体はそんなに長くないが一組の入場に時間がかかる。持ち物検査で飲みかけのペットボトルを没収されている日本人が多い。また、チケットを受け取らずにゲートに並んでいる日本人もいて、その対応にも時間がかかっている。
無事入場したあとはロッカーを借りにいく。 端末でクレジットカードを使って借りるタイプで少し戸惑うが日本語対応されているので、冷静に操作すれば問題ない。ロッカーの数は日本の大規模プール(豊島園とか)に比べると圧倒的に少ない。いっぱいの場合はどうするのだろうか。そこまで人はこないということだろうか。
着替えがすめばようやく遊べるが、だいたいその時点で11時頃。15時にはバスに戻ってきて下さいと言うことだったので、14時半にはあがるとすると3時間半しかない。昼御飯の時間も考慮すると実質は3時間もないので圧倒的に時間が足りない。子供は全く遊び足りない様子だった。自分は送迎と1日パスのプランだったが、昼食ブッフェやボディーボード体験を入れた人は更に時間におわれるだろう。
施設内は予想よりもコンパクトな作りなので移動にはそこまで時間はかからない。混雑も日本のプールに比べたら遥かに少ないのでその点は快適。ただ昼購入場所は自分が見た限り一ヵ所しかないので昼時はかなり待つ。時間をずらすなどして少しでも時短したいところ。
肝心のアトラクションについては総じて楽しかった。日本では体験できない種類のスライダーも多く楽しめる。ただ不満としては、専用の浮き具がないと滑れないものがあるが、浮き具の数が絶対的に足りない。特に子供と一緒に滑るための浮き具がほとんどなかった。(一人用は比較的多くあった)。せっかくあった!と思って手に取ると穴が開いていて空気が抜けているものもあった。これは是非改善して貰いたい。ただでさえ時間が足りないのに浮き具を得るまでの待ちは痛い。
波のプールはウェーブが大きくウェーブの出る時間も長いのがうれしい。ただし床がザラザラな場所があり波にあおられて擦りむく恐れあり。流れるプールは普通。一周の距離はそんなに長くない。また、日本のプール施設にあるようないわゆる‘‘ただのプール’’はない。これが施設全体をコンパクトにできている理由でもあるが、泳ぎの練習などはあまりできない。あえてやるなら、波がないときの波のプールくらい。
全体的に言えば施設自体は良く大人でも楽しめるが、時間が少ないのとスライダー用浮き具がすくないのが難点。あとは時間帯により閉鎖しているアトラクションがあるのが不満。閉鎖時間はどこかに書いてあるのだろうか。
帰宅集合時間が15時というのはやはり早い。もしかしたら、ワイキキに早く帰れるからショッピングも楽しめるという配慮なのかもとも思った。
時短テクニックとしては、予め水着を着ておく、昼御飯時間をずらして売店に並ぶ時間を減らす。

I participated in parasailing at a height of 150 meters with my daughter. The staff who provided transportation to the hotel were very kind, which made us feel at ease. On the boat, the crew took many photos for us, and we enjoyed a wonderful time taking in the views of Waikiki from 150 meters high. I thought it might be a bit scary with the wind, but my daughter seemed to enjoy it more that way. The photos taken at the end are available on an SD card, but if you pay by card, it costs $35, which is $5 more than paying in cash. When I come to Hawaii again, I would like to participate once more.
高さ150mのパラセイリングを、娘と二人で参加しました。ホテルまでの送迎ではスタッフの方がとても親切な方で安心し、またボートではクルーの方がたくさん写真を撮って下さったですし、150mの高さから眺めたワイキキの景色を堪能したりと楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。
少し風があり怖いかな?と思いましたが、娘はその方が楽しかったようです。最後に撮って下さった写真はSDカードでいただけますが、カード支払いだとcashより5ドル高く35ドルでした。
ハワイに来た時は、また参加したいと思います。
