Oahu
The zipline experience with breathtaking views from various directions in Hawaii is unforgettable. It took about an hour by rental car to get there, making it a full-day activity.
Since rain can ruin the fun, I feel it's safer to make a reservation about a week in advance after checking the weather forecast.
The instructor was lively and kept us entertained throughout the experience.
ハワイのいろんな方角の絶景を見ながらのジップラインは、記憶に残ります。
現地に行くまで、レンタカーでも1時間前後かかったので、1日がかり。
雨が降ると楽しめないので、予約は、1週間前くらいに天気予報が出てからが安心な気がします。
インストラクターのノリがよく、随所で楽しませてくれます。
It can be very cold depending on the season (and the tour duration is long). I think it's best to dress warmly.
You can also see the hotel where I'm staying. Additionally, seeing Pearl Harbor from above is a special experience.
時期にもよると思いますが、非常に寒いです(かつ遊覧時間が長い)
しっかり厚着するのがいいと思います。
自分が泊まっているホテルなんかも、見えたりします。
また、パールハーバーを上空から見られるのは、特別な感動があります。
The wind felt a bit cold, but the weather was nice and the sea was crystal clear—it was the best! Although we only spoke Japanese, the staff were very kind and made us feel at ease!
風が少し寒く感じましたが天気も良く海も透き通ってて最高でした!
日本語しか話せない私達でしたがスタッフのみなさんも凄く親切で安心できました!
We are very pleased to hear that you were able to enjoy the tour with peace of mind. Thank you very much for participating in the tour. From all of us at KBOS.
安心してツアーを楽しんで頂けた様で大変嬉しく思います。 この度はツアーにご参加頂き誠にありがとうございました。 KBOSスタッフ一同
I experienced a package that included parasailing, banana boating, and bumper tubing. Since there were staff members who spoke Japanese, I felt comfortable enjoying the activities.
It costs about $50 by taxi from Waikiki. You can also get there by The BUS.
If you check in online beforehand, the reception process is easier (you will receive an email). You can also do it on the day of.
My belongings were always close to me, so there were no issues. A waterproof phone case is essential.
During the banana boat and bumper tubing, a lot of seawater gets in your eyes and mouth, so it's better to have water and goggles on hand. Goggles can be rented on-site for $10, and they accept both card and cash. I endured falling off, so my arms were sore the next day, haha.
If you are prone to motion sickness while parasailing, it's advisable to take motion sickness medication. The waiting boat was quite rocky. I chose the 150m option, and the views and exhilaration were fantastic.
After the activities, changing facilities are in the reception building's restrooms (two unisex stalls).
I tipped while on the boat and also gave a direct tip to the staff who made the experience enjoyable.
All activities come with a GoPro, so don't forget to strike a pose and capture some action shots! You can check the photos and videos later, and having good camera angles might increase your desire to purchase them.
I've summarized the information I wanted to know, so I hope it helps you.
パラセーリング、 バナナボート、バンパーチューブが楽しめるパッケージを今回体験しました。
日本語を話せるスタッフでしたので安心して楽しめました。
ワイキキからタクシーで50ドルくらいです。
The BUSでも行けます。
先にOn-line check in をしておくと受付が楽です。(メールがきます)
しなくても当日出来ます。
荷物は常に自分の近くにあるので問題なかったです。
防水の携帯ケースは必須ですね。
バナナボートとバンパーチューブは目と口に海水が結構はいるので、水などは手持ちでゴーグルもあった方がいいです。
ゴーグルは現地で10ドルでレンタル出来ます。カードでも現金でも対応してました。
落ちるのを我慢するので翌日から腕が筋肉痛に 笑
パラセーリングする方で酔いやすい方は酔い止めを飲んだ方がいいです。
沖で待機するボートも結構揺れました。
オプションの150mにしましたが景色も爽快感も最高でした。
終わった後の着替えは受付の建物の中のトイレ(男女兼用2室)になります。
チップは船の上で払いつつ、楽しましてくれたスタッフには直接渡す事もしました。
全てのアクティビティにGo Proが付いてるのでみんなでカメラ目線やアクションも忘れずに!!
後で写真と動画を確認するのでカメラ目線があれば購入意欲も湧くかと思います。
自分が知りたかった事を纏めましたので参考にしてもらえればと思います。
The whole crew was amazing, kind and funny! Spending the day at the sandbar was such an incredible experience and I highly suggest it for anyone looking to spend a fun day in the ocean. Would definitely book this trip again, the live music was also just amazing!
Mahalo for your review & picture! We look forward to seeing you again. - Team KBOS
Easy to book and stress free service. We had a good time visiting. Staff were super friendly from front desk, tour to souvenir store.
We enjoyed all aspects of this luau and highly recommend it. The host was phenomenal, as were the dancers. And the food was incredibly tasty.
今回初めての参加でした。早朝からのコースで行きました。船はとても広く屋上等も上がることができ、海が一望できました。清潔でトイレなども付いておりとても良かったです。ツアーの前にスタッフからクジラについての説明やクジラが見えた際の方向の指示の説明等があったため助かりました。出航後は何回もクジラを見ることができ、Tail Slap(テールスラップ)も見ることができました。帰りも船の中でゲームのような形でスタッフの方からクイズがありとても楽しめました。スタッフの方は皆さん親切な方ばかりで、クジラが出た方向の指示を聞き逃してしまった時もクジラの出た方向に連れて行ってくれたりしました。とても楽しかったです。また行きたいと思います。
Wow this was my firs time in hawaii and this compamy made my life easier. I realy recomend them we spend the best time in ours tours.
The pickup time for the hotel was about 10 minutes late, and at the meeting point, there was only a Korean couple besides us. They confirmed in broken English whether we were users of the Hanauma Bay shuttle service, which eased our anxiety a bit. After that, we were able to communicate with the Korean couple and had a valuable experience.
This was my fourth time at Hanauma Bay, and the restrictions are becoming stricter. The first time, the entrance fee was the only cost, but starting from the second visit, there was one day a week when the bay was closed, and from the third visit, it became two days a week. This time, I was surprised to find that it was completely reservation-only.
ホテルへのピックアップ時間が10分位遅れ、集合場所には私たち以外は韓国人夫婦でしたが、拙い英語でハナウマ湾シャトルサービスの利用者であるかの確認をし、少し不安が和らぎました。その後韓国人夫婦とコミュニケーションがはかれて貴重な体験が出来ました。
ハナウマ湾は、今回が4回目でだんだん制限が厳しくなりました。
最初の時は、入場料だけで2回目からは週1日休場日ができ3回目からは週2日休場になり、今回からは完全予約制でびっくりしました。
I was able to fully immerse myself in the world of Jurassic Park. If you have a Japanese driver's license, anyone can drive! There are a couple of water spots in the first half and three in the second half, and if you step on the gas, you'll get as wet as if you were on a rapid slide, which is fantastic (laughs). If you're alternating driving with someone, you can switch every time you stop at a viewpoint, so both of you can experience it. Your face, hair, and clothes will definitely get dirty from the dust (and water), so if you're concerned, it might be a good idea to bring wet wipes or a change of clothes. The restrooms were clean! The instructor spoke English, and there was also one Japanese staff member, so it's reassuring! This time we used a buggy, but next time I want to try horseback riding and zip-lining as well.
ジュラシックパークの世界観にどっぷりハマることができました日本の免許を持っていけば誰でも運転できます️前半に一箇所、後半に三箇所ほどウォータースポット(水たまり?)があって、全力でアクセルを踏み込めば、急流滑りくらい濡れますが最高です(笑)ふたりで交互に運転するなら、ビュースポットで降りるたびに交代すればどちらも体験できます顔や髪、服は砂埃(と、水)でちゃんと汚れるので、気になる方はウェットティッシュや着替えを持っていくのがいいかもです。トイレは綺麗でした!インストラクターの方は英語話者の方ですが、お一人日本人の職員さんもおられるので安心です!今回はバギーでしたが、次回は乗馬やジップラインも体験してみたいです
It was truly like Jurassic Park.
There were various facilities in the ranch that I believe were used for filming the movie, and it brought back memories of Jurassic Park.
I had a valuable experience riding a four-wheeler through the ranch for almost an hour. I would like to visit again on another occasion.
ほんとうにジュラシックパークでした。
牧場内にはいろいろ映画の撮影に使われたと思う施設があり、ジュラシックパークの映画がよみがえってきました。
約1時間弱四輪バギーで牧場内を駆け抜けて貴重な体験をさせていただきました。またの機会にもう一度訪れたいと思います。
I participated at my husband's suggestion, and I truly think it was worth going! However, you will definitely get your face and clothes covered in dirt, so it's best to bring clothes you don't mind throwing away and some wet wipes.
夫の提案で参加しましたが、行ってよかったと心から思います!
ただ本当に顔も服も土だらけになるので、捨ててもよい服とウェットティッシュは持って行った方がいいです。
The Chief was entertaining and the show was great. I always wanted to see a Luau. Highly recommend
I had previously experienced parasailing in Guam, but this time my middle school grandson wanted to try it, so we did a 120-meter experience. Seeing my grandson's happy face made me feel that it was worth it.
以前グアムでパラセイリングの経験はありましたが、今回中学生の孫が飛んでみたいと言うので120メートルの体験をしました。
孫の楽しそうな顔を見て、やってよかったなと思いました。
I joined the tour at the meeting point. I received a boarding sticker to place on my chest and boarded the ship. The boat was quite a large sightseeing vessel.
About five minutes after leaving the dock, we slowed down. I was able to see a baby whale. This was the closest I got to a whale, and I was able to take great photos with my 250mm lens.
After this, I saw whales spouting from a distance several times, but they only appeared small in the viewfinder. I didn't see any whales jumping, but I was very satisfied with the sense of openness.
現地集合で参加。受付で乗船シールを胸に貼って乗船。船は結構高い観光船。
桟橋を離れて5分くらいで減速。子ども鯨が見れた。これが1番近くで見れた鯨で250mmレンズでバッチリ撮れた。
この時以降遠くて塩吐く鯨は何度か見れたがファインダーの中に小さく映る程度。ジャンプする鯨は全く見れなかったが、開放感にとても満足、
Thank you very much for joining our cruise. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed whale watching and that you were able to see the baby whales up close. We hope to see you again soon. All of our staff are looking forward to your 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。
クジラの観測そして、クジラの子供がそんなに近くで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。
Meet at the location with a rental car. The parking lot is quite full and tight. After check-in, you have free time until the meeting time. After gathering, a summary of precautions is provided in a Japanese video.
Get on the Kawasaki off-road buggy and off we go. We proceed along a relatively well-maintained road, park at the first detour spot, and receive an explanation (in English). After this, we navigate up and down the road, stopping at about three points while squealing with excitement on our way to the final destination. Your face and clothes will get covered in sand, so it's advisable to cover your mouth with a bandana.
レンタカーで現地集合。駐車場が結構いっぱいでキツイ。受付後に集合時間までフリー。集合した後、日本語のビデオで注意点をサマリー。
Kawasaki オフロードバギーに乗り込み、いざ出発。比較的整備された道を進み最初の寄り道スポットで駐車し、説明を受ける。(英語) この後アップダウンの道をキャーキャー言いながら3地点ほど止まりながら最終地点に向かう。顔と服は砂まみれになるのでバンダナで口を覆うべし。
It was a nice day with good weather.
I used the shuttle bus, and the driver, Chris, was very kind. The bus was large, clean, and comfortable to ride.
During the bus ride, we could watch a video explaining the ship and safety instructions in both English and Japanese.
The service from the cruise staff was also very good.
Unfortunately, we couldn't see any whales, but we received a voucher for a free ride, so I would like to try again.
天気も良く気持ちいい日でした。
送迎バスを利用しましたが、ドライバーのクリスさんとても親切な方でした。バスは大型で綺麗で乗り心地もよかったです。
バスで移動中、ビデオによる船内の説明と安全に関する説明を英語と日本語で見ることができます。
クルーズスタッフの方々のサービスもとてもよかったです。
肝心なクジラは残念ながら見ることができませんでしたが、リベンジ乗船券をいただいたので再挑戦したいと思います。
Thank you very much for joining our cruise. We are sorry that you were unable to see any whales, but we are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed the views from the boat and our shuttle bus. Please do come back with your revenge ticket. We hope you will see many whales next time. All of our staff look forward to welcoming you again.
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。
クジラの観測ができなくて残念でしたが船からの景色や私共の送迎バスをお楽しみ頂けました様で大変嬉しく思います。リベンジ乗車券で是非またお越し下さい。次回は沢山のクジラが見れるといいですね。スタッフ一同お待ち申し上げております。
Crew members were amazing! Saw beautiful coral and fishes. Fun activities for family with kids
Mahalo for the review! - Team KBOS
Not only did we get to see dolphins jumping around having a blast, but the sunshine was out!! It was a great day.
Aloha Kara,
Thank you for choosing Ocean Joy Cruises and for your kind words!
Have a great day.
We hope to see you again!

My kiddos had a blast, it was so worth it if you do have kiddos as Chief S really incorporates everyone in the crowd!
Great evening, very funny night and good food as well. Make sure to get there early as your seats depend on so!
Great way to get ahead and skip the lines, ready to enter all museums!
Arizona comes with the tour, which is half the troubles on the park. Great and easy experience!
The day we experienced was a rough day at sea, and even though it was a very large ship, it rocked quite a bit. Wandering around the deck was somewhat better, but still, my child seemed to get seasick and ended up sleeping on the sofa partway through. We saw whales closer than we expected, and we also spotted dolphins. The tour itself was enjoyable, but I think it's a good idea for participants to bring motion sickness medication just in case.
体験した日は海が大荒れの日でとても大きな船だったのですがよく揺れました。
デッキをうろうろしていると幾分マシでしたがそれでも子供は酔ったようで途中からソファーで寝ていました。
鯨は思っていたより近くに見え、さらにイルカも見えました。
ツアー自体は楽しかったのですが参加される方は念のため酔い止めを持って行かれるのがいいと思います。
Thank you very much for joining our cruise. We are sorry that there were some waves due to the weather, but we are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed whale watching and also saw dolphins. We hope you will come again. All of our staff are looking forward to welcoming you back.

お天気の関係で波があったのが残念ですが、クジラの観測やイルカも見れて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。
We love the setting of the boat lounge. All the staffs are very friendly and helpful. We love the donuts and drinks! The singers while sailing are also good. We also love how they guide us on how to do the snorkeling and how they are protecting us while doing our sandbar activities. Special thanks to Toby for checking on us while doing the paddle board. We will definitely go back with them on our next Oahu trip! Highly recommended! Don't go somewhere else if you want the best Sandbar experience!!!
We really appreciate the recommendation and hope to see you again soon! Mahalo! - Team KBOS
The weather was slightly cloudy, but my family of five was able to enjoy themselves.
We took theBUS from Honolulu to the nearest stop (about a 30-minute ride), which was more affordable than taking a taxi.
Since our experience started at 12:30, we arrived a bit early. We had lunch at a coffee house located in the adjacent Kai Shopping Center before the experience.
We tried parasailing, jet skiing, and banana boating. We enjoyed all of them. Thank you very much.
薄曇りの天気でしたが、家族5人は口々に楽しむことが出来たと話してました。
ホノルルから最寄りまでtheBUSで行きました(片道30分程度)タクシーよりも割安で行く事が出来ました
12:30からの体験でしたので、少し早目に到着。隣接するカイ・ショッピングセンター内にあるコーヒーハウスでランチしてから体験に行きました。
パラセーリング、ジェットスキー、バナナボートを体験。
どれも楽しむことが出来ました。
ありがとうございました。
Highly recommend. The staff explains everything to you on what to do and not to do. Staff got your back. Overall great experience
Mahalo for the review & recommendation! - Team KBOS
We had a great time with fantastic performances and snacks even before arriving at the sandbar. Even after the boat stopped, their wonderful performance continued. Thanks to that, returning to the boat after activities wasn't boring. Moreover, kids can see a lot of fish at a shallow depth for snorkeling. I highly recommend this tour! The staff are extremely kind and friendly.
Mahalo for your review and sharing pictures! - Team KBOS
Both the participants and the staff created a great atmosphere, making it a memorable page in my travel experiences! I was able to see more animals than I expected. The food was delicious too.
参加者もスタッフもいい雰囲気で旅行の思い出の1ページになりました!動物も思ったより多く見れました。ご飯もおいしかったです。
