Oahu
It took about 20 minutes by taxi from Hokulani Waikiki to get there, costing $35 with HANA Taxi. On the way back, it was also $35 to Ala Moana Shopping Center. Since we arrived too early, we sat on a bench and found free Wi-Fi. We flew with JAL this time, so the Rainbow Trolley didn't stop at the Bishop Museum, and I reserved a taxi for the return trip, but it would have been better not to. This is because there was a café called Café Leria, and there were many other things to see. The three-story building had an elevator, so my elderly mother was able to tour it. The guide was an older lady named Noriko, who briefly introduced various plant names and showed us around the museum. I was clumsy with the lauhala weaving, so Noriko helped me, but my 85-year-old mother was able to make it on her own.
行きはホクラニワイキキからタクシーで20分ほどHANAタクシーで35$、帰りはアラモアナショッピングセンターまで35$。早く着きすぎたので、ベンチに座っていたら無料のWi-Fiがありました。今回JALでしたのでレインボートロリー、ビショップミュージアムにはとまらないので帰りもタクシー予約しましたが、HANAタクシーはLINEで日本語で来てくれるので帰りの予約はしないほうが良かった。なぜなら、カフェレリアガあったそうでしたし、他にもたくさん見るべきものありました。3階建ての建物にはエレベーターがついていて高齢の母でも見学出来ました。案内してくれたのは年配のNORIKOさん、いろいろ植物の名前、館内を簡単に案内した後、ラウハラ編み私は不器用でしたのでNORIKOさんに手伝ってもらいましたが、85歳の母は自分で作れました。
Thank you for participating in the garden tour the other day. I hope you and your family enjoyed the program. Your mother's bracelet is lovely! The program includes admission fees, so you can enjoy the exhibits and stroll through the gardens as long as time permits after the program ends. In addition to the permanent exhibits, the museum also has special exhibitions that change periodically. Please do stop by again the next time you visit Hawaii. Thank you.
先日はガーデンツアーへのご参加ありがとうございました。ご家族の皆様とプログラムをお楽しみ頂けたようでしたら幸いです。御母様のブレスレット、素敵です!プログラムは入館料が込みとなっておりますのでプログラム終了後もお時間の許す限り館内の展示やガーデンの散策をお楽しみ頂くことができます。ミュージアムには常設の展示以外に期間で内容が変わる特別展示もあります。また次回ハワイにお越しの際には是非お立ち寄り下さい。ありがとうございます。
I participated in a beginner mountain biking course. It was a tour where we rode down the mountain on mountain bikes. First, we were driven to the starting point. After adjusting the sizes of the bikes and helmets, we had some time to practice, so it was fine even if it had been a while since I last rode a bike. The downhill ride was very refreshing as I felt the wind rushing past me. The course was from 12 to 3 PM, but since we stopped at various points to take photos and rest, the time flew by. I was able to enjoy the wonderful scenery and the negative ions, which was a lot of fun, different from being at the beach. As a side note, due to the impact of COVID-19, the park where we were supposed to have lunch was closed, so we received water, sandwiches, and snacks and were taken back to the hotel about 30 minutes earlier than planned. I regret that I was so flustered that I forgot to give a tip. I would like to challenge myself with the intermediate and advanced courses next time, so I look forward to it.
Book this tour! If you love the outdoors and want to enjoy great views, you will not be disappointed. We were picked up on time and taken up into the hills. The bikes are very easy to ride and it's mostly downhill. We stopped halfway down for a pretty nice photo op. The views were amazing! We were returned to our hotel around 3 PM. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED and HUGE thank you to our guide!!!!!!
マウンテンバイクの初級コースに参加しました。マウンテンバイクで山を下るツアー。まず車でスタート地点まで連れて行ってもらいます。バイクやヘルメットのサイズ調整をしたあと少し練習をする時間もあるので、自転車が久しぶりでも大丈夫でした。ダウンヒルは、風を切って走って行くのがとても爽快でした。12-15時のコースでしたが、要所要所では自転車を止めて撮影したり休憩もしつつだったのであっという間です。素晴らしい景色とマイナスイオンを感じられて、ビーチとはまた違ってとても楽しかったです。余談ですが、新型コロナの影響でランチを食べる予定だった公園が閉鎖されていたので、お水とサンドイッチ、スナックを貰って当初予定より30分ほど早くホテルに送迎してもらいました。バタバタしていてチップを渡し忘れてしまったことが悔やまれます。今度は中級・上級コースに挑戦したいと思うので、またよろしくお願いします。

Occasionally, it rained heavily between the zip lines, and we got completely soaked, but we continued without any interruptions. It was really fun!
After that, the four-wheeler course had turned into a sea of mud, but we started without worrying about it! We ended up covered in mud, even our underwear turned black, but it was such a unique experience that we had a blast and were very satisfied.
I didn't bring a change of clothes, and since I couldn't get into the rental car, I ended up buying a poncho to wear home. Plus, it was cold being wet...
They took some photos along the way and said they would send them via email later, but it's been three days and I still haven't received them. If it hadn't been raining, I would have taken some with my own smartphone!
ジップラインの間から時折、すごい雨になりずぶ濡れでしたが、中止になる事なくやり続けました。すごく面白かったです!
その後の四輪バギーのコースは泥の海になってましたが、気にせず開始!全身泥まみれになり、下着まで真っ黒になりましたが、こんな体験めったにできないので非常に楽しくて、満足です。
着替えを持ってきておらず、レンタカーに乗れないので、ポンチョを買ってきて帰りました。それに、濡れたままだと寒かった。。。
途中で写真も撮ってくれて、後でメールで送ると言ってましたが、3日経っても送られてきてません。雨降ってなかったら、自分のスマホでもとったんですけどねー
The view from the boat on the way to the submarine was beautiful. There weren't many fish near the submarine, but I was able to see a lot of small fish and sea turtles. Before getting on the submarine, there was someone who interpreted in Japanese, but the explanations from the crew inside the submarine were in English, so I couldn't understand what they were saying.
潜水艦に行くまでの船からの景色が綺麗でした。潜水艦の近くには魚があまり来なかったですが、たくさんの小さい魚とウミガメも見られました。潜水艦に乗る前までは日本語で通訳してくれる人がいましたが、潜水艦の中でクルーが説明している内容が英語だったので何を言っているのか分からなかったです。
I wanted to show my daughter whales up close, so I signed up for a tour. On the day of the tour, there was rain and wind, and the sea was rough. It was a relatively large boat, but it was very rocky, and I got seasick. My daughter was so sick that she couldn't leave the restroom, so we didn't get to see any whales. I also got seasick, but I managed to see some whales, although I only caught a glimpse of their tails a few times. Depending on the season and weather, I wouldn't recommend this for people who are not good on boats.
娘にクジラを近くで見せてあげたいと思い、ツアーに申込みました。当日は雨風があり海は荒れ模様。
比較的大きな船でしたが、非常に揺れて船酔いが。。
娘はひどくてトイレから出てこれずクジラどころではありませんでした。私自身も船酔いしましたが、何とかクジラを見ました。けれど尾っぽが数回見れたくらいでした。時期や天候にもよりますが、船が苦手な人には勧められません。
Thank you very much for joining our cruise. We are truly sorry that you could not fully enjoy your experience due to the bad weather this time. We hope you will join us again on a sunny day to enjoy whale watching. All of our staff look forward to welcoming you back.

スターオブホノルル
About three years ago, I participated in this tour, and at that time, there were evening departures that felt like a sunset cruise, even if we didn't catch anything. The dock was close to Waikiki, and the captain and staff (his wife?) were efficient, so we didn't have to wait long before setting off. Our group was the only one with Japanese participants. Even though I hardly understood any English, I managed just fine.
We participated as a group of four, and three of us caught a fish called Kawahagi. It seemed like most others didn't catch anything. They provide fishing rods, but it looks like bringing your own is okay; an American boy brought his own rod. My son and I became good rivals, which added to the fun. My 10-year-old son caught three fish and was very pleased when the captain called him the "BEST FISHER." It seemed like his rival caught a bigger fish that wasn't a Kawahagi and was smiling happily.
If the fish were small, they were released. The larger ones were seasoned with flavored salt and grilled for us, but it seemed like those who didn't catch anything were hesitant to eat. Recently, it seems like the number of operating days has decreased, and I hope they don't stop. Although quite some time has passed, I decided to share my experience. This time, if it weren't for COVID-19, I was planning to join this optional tour again, so I feel very disappointed that I have to give up. Next time I go to Hawaii, I will participate again.
3年くらい前に参加したので、そのころは夕方出発があり、釣れなくてもサンセットクルーズみたいでした。船着き場がワイキキに近く、キャプテンやスタッフ(奥さん?)の手際よくて出航まであまり待たずに出発。日本人は私たちのグループだけでした。ほとんど英語がわからなくても何とかなりました。
4人で参加して3人はカワハギがつれました。ほかの方はほとんど釣れてないようでした。
釣り竿は貸してくれますが持ち込みOKのようで、アメリカ人の男の子はMY竿持参でした。息子とは好敵手となりそれもまた楽しめました。
10歳の息子が3匹釣ってキャプテンから「BEST FISHER」と言われご満悦でした。息子のライバル君はカワハギではない大きい魚を釣ったようでにこにこしていました。
釣った魚はサイズが小さいとリリース。大きいものはフレーバーソルトで味付けして焼いてくれましたが釣れなかった方たちは遠慮して食べてなかったみたいでした。
最近、催行日が減ったようで、やめないでほしいなと思い、かなり日が経ちましたが体験談を投稿しました。
今回、新型コロナがなければ、またこのオプショナルツアーに参加しようと思っていたのであきらめざる負えず残念な気持ちでいっぱいです。
次回、ハワイに行ったらまた参加します。
Thanks to Sean with his abundant knowledge for taking us around the locations used on Hawaii Five-0!
Under exceptional circumstances - rain, the beginnings of Covid-19 concerns here in Honolulu, and challenging clients - Sean imparted not just the information about Hawaii Five-0 production but also other information about O’ahu that has proved invaluable during our trip.
Thanks also to ‘Flipper’ for his insights and his time!
What is usually a tour for a group of more than five people turned out to be almost like a private tour for us as we were only three that day. Sean shared a lot of information about my favorite tv show, the cast, the location. We were blown away by everything we saw. It was like walking into a dream. The lovely house, the amazing beachfront and of course, the iconic chairs. Even my husband, who has not watched an episode before our tour has become an instant fan and started watching Hawaii Five-0 with me from season 1 when we got back home, making it my third time to watch season 1. :) It still feels like watching each episode for the first time. Lunch was great, too and we loved the passion fruit-orange-guava (POG) drink.
We also had a nice conversation with the house owners, Richard and Suzz. We had a fun time talking about who Steve is going to marry. It’s Catherine, hands down. We had fun taking pictures with Yogi, too.
Sean really made this day special for us. He shared with us a lot of information about Hawaii from a local’s perspective. He also told us about Hawaii’s history and culture and some of the famous people who are from Hawaii. Sean drove us through Kewalo Basin Harbor and Ala Moana beach park. We stopped.by at the Hawaii Five-0 headquarters, which in real life, is the Hawaii State Supreme Court.
Big thanks to Sean for recommending Wini’s Jewelry where we bought gorgeous Hawaii Five-0 merch. We wish that this show could go on for a couple more seasons.
I participated in the 120m event. The staff was great, and it was really fun, especially getting splashed in the sea. I took motion sickness medication, so I was fine, but there were quite a few people around me who were feeling pretty seasick, so I recommend taking something to be in top shape to enjoy it fully.
120mで参加しました。スタッフさんのノリもよく、海に落とされたりしてすごく楽しかったです。私は酔い止めを飲んでいたので平気でしたが、周囲にはかなり酔ってる方々もいたので、万全の状態で楽しむためにも飲むことをおすすめします。
I had one of the best time here at the Kualoa Ranch! Although the request I had for a specific time and date was unavailable, a receptionist was able to call and inform me of so. She was able to work with me and was able to fit me and my friend in! She was very nice and informative. I would definitely advise to book in advance of atleast 5 days!
As for the whole experience during our tour was beyond amazing! The tour was beautiful and showed us different scenes of multiple films they produced with a cute little jurassic park video for us! :) Would definitely highly recommend this activity one for the books!! :)
This glass bottom kayak tour was an amazing experience. Our guide, JC was friendly, knowledgeable and went out of his way to make our experience a unique one! I would highly recommend taking a tour with these folks- you will not regret it!
We are so pleased you enjoy your tour with us. We hope you tell all your friends that our visiting Hawaii in the future to come make wonderful memories with us.
Mahalo,
Sea & Board Sports Hawaii
I participated in the morning session. They picked me up from my hotel, so I didn't have to worry about transportation. We got on the board for about a 10-minute experience. While waiting for others to finish their turns, those who are prone to motion sickness might want to take some anti-nausea medication to enjoy it without worries. There are moments during the experience when you'll be in the water up to your legs or waist, so it's best to wear a swimsuit. On the way back, my swimsuit was still wet, but they drove us back to the hotel, so everyone returned wrapped in towels they brought.
I think it's a good idea to bring cash since you'll need to tip the staff after the experience. Also, for an additional $30, they will take photos during the experience! I saw some couples who mentioned they were on their honeymoon purchasing them.
朝一の時間帯で参加しました。宿泊先のホテルまで迎えに来てくれたので移動の心配も要らなかったです。ボードに乗り、1組10分ほどの体験でした。他の人たちの体験中もボードに乗って待つため、乗り物酔いしやすい人は酔い止めは飲んでおいた方が心置きなく楽しめると思います。体験中海に脚〜腰まで海に浸かるタイミングがあるので水着を着て行きます。帰りも水着が濡れたままでしたが、またホテルまで送ってくれるので皆さん水着に持参したタオルを巻いたまま帰ってました。
体験後にスタッフの人にチップを払うので現金も持っていくといいと思います。
また現地で30ドル払うと、体験中の写真を撮ってくれます!ハネムーンで来た、と言っていた方々が購入していました。
This well-run tour took us to a place known as Turtle Canyon a few hundred meters off of Waikiki where sea turtles come to get cleaned by algae eating fish.
There were a couple of dozen of varying ages (judging by their sizes) and though touching is prohibited, it was easy to get close enough that you could have.
Sharp, amusing crew, well maintained and clean masks, snorkels, and fins provided, and cold local beer.
A great combination.
Since time is more limited than expected, I recommend checking the brochure in advance to understand the movement routes (starting point) and prioritize attractions to enjoy as many as possible. Google Maps and Street View can also be helpful.
For those visiting for the first time, I’ve listed some things I thought would be helpful based on my own first visit, so please feel free to use them as a reference.
At the entrance, there is a relatively strict baggage check, and as stated in the "Caution/Information," you really cannot bring in any drinks other than water.
If you need to rent a locker, please use the touch panel on the machine at the front (which can be switched to Japanese) to proceed first, so don’t waste time looking for an available locker. After selecting large or small, setting a PIN, and making a payment (credit cards are accepted), the machine will assign you a locker location. Just knowing this can save you about 10 minutes.
Most of the thrill rides require you to carry a rubber boat from the finish line to the starting point. If you don’t know this, you’ll waste time making a round trip.
The line for the Ohana Highway moves very slowly, so it’s better to aim for less crowded times, like early in the morning or during lunch. However, you won’t know how crowded it is until you climb to the highest starting point in the park.
The wave pool has waves every 20 to 30 minutes, alternating between times with waves and times without. The waves are so powerful that you might wonder, "Can such large waves really be artificially created?"
I rented a cabana, but it’s something you should think carefully about. If you have someone to stay behind or keep watch, it’s definitely recommended. The path to the cabana is a dead end, so there’s almost no foot traffic in front of you, making it very relaxing. On the other hand, it feels like a waste of time to just rest, so in the end, our family used it as a towel storage area. Even without a cabana, you can find shaded areas if you look.
The BBQ was surprisingly delicious, and I was satisfied in unexpected ways.
時間が思ったより少ないので、アトラクションを少しでも多く楽しむには事前にパンフレットで移動ルート(スタート位置)把握や優先順位を決めておくことがお勧めです。GoogleMAPやストリートビューも参考になります。
初めて訪れる方は、初めて訪れた私が思った伝えたいことを以下にあげてみましたのでよろしければ参考にしてみてください。
入口で割と厳しめの荷物チェックがあり、「ご注意・ご案内」に記載がある通り水以外の飲み物は本当に持ち込めません。
ロッカーを借りる場合は、初めに手前の機械のタッチパネル(日本語表示へ切り替え可能)で手続きしますので、空いてるロッカー探しはしないでください。大・小の選択と暗証番号の設定、支払い(カード可)後、ロッカーの位置は機械が決めます。これを知っているだけで10分は得します。
絶叫系のほとんどのアトラクションはゴールに置いてあるゴムボートを自分で持ってスタート地点まで登ります。知らないで登ると1往復ロスします。
オハナ・ハイウェイは、順番待ちの進みがとても遅いので、早い時間やお昼時など空いているタイミングを狙ったほうが良いです。ただ、パーク内で一番高いスタート地点まで登らないと込み具合が分かりません^^;
ウェーブ・プールは20~30分間隔で波が有る時間と無い時間が繰り返されます。「これほど大きな波が人工的に作れるのか?」というくらい迫力があります。
カバナレンタルしましたが、これはよく検討したほうが良いです。付き添いや留守番など常に誰か残るなら絶対にお勧めです。カバナへの通路は行き止まりの構造なので、目の前の人通りはほぼ無くとても落ち着きます。一方、休憩する時間がもったいないので、結局タオル置き場になったのは我が家です。カバナでなくても日陰は探せばあります。
BBQが思った以上に美味しくて、意外な場面で満足しました。
It was mid-March. Since the mornings are early, the sea is still cold and chilly. The boat also sways quite a bit, so I think it's a good idea for those who are prone to motion sickness to consider taking some medication. We were able to see a lot of wild dolphins. I was really happy because I don't think there are many opportunities to see them. Although the mornings are early, the tour ends in the morning, so you can relax and fully enjoy Hawaii in the afternoon.
3月中旬でした。朝が早いのでまだ海は冷たく寒いですね。
船も結構揺れますので酔いやすい人は酔い止め等の対応を考えた方がよいと思います。
野生のイルカはたくさん見れました。なかなか見る機会はないと思うので嬉しかったですね。
朝は早いですが午前中で終わりますので、昼からもゆっくりできてハワイを満喫できます。
Since this was my first trip to Hawaii, I made a reservation for a tour that I thought would be enjoyable. The bus picked me up and dropped me off at the hotel, which was very helpful. The itinerary included a lot of activities like turtle watching, Angel's Sea, and snorkeling, which was great. I was worried about snorkeling since I'm not very fluent in English, but they provided a full set of equipment for us, and being with many other Japanese people made me feel safe and allowed me to enjoy it. At Angel's Sea, the tour guide took a lot of photos and was a wonderful person with a great sense of service, which made me very satisfied! Also, they grilled hamburgers for lunch on the boat, and it was very delicious. I think families with children can enjoy this as well, as the Japanese tour guide took care of small kids during snorkeling. It was a great experience that I wouldn't have been able to do on my own! I highly recommend this for anyone looking to have a fulfilling day!
初めてハワイに旅行に行くので、楽しめるツアーをと思い予約しました。バスがホテルまで送り迎えしてくれるのでとても助かりました。内容もウミガメウォッチング、天使の海、シュノーケリングと盛り沢山で良かったです。シュノーケリングは英語も堪能ではないので心配しておりましたが、セットをフルでを貸し出してくださり、多くの日本人と一緒なので安心して楽しむことができました。天使の海では添乗員の方がたくさん写真を撮ってくださりサービス精神のあふれる素敵な方でとても満足です!またお昼も船上でハンバーグを焼いて下さりとても美味しかったです。日本人の添乗員の方がシュノーケリングの際に小さな子供の子守をしてくださったりしていたので、お子様のいるご家族でも楽しめると思います。自分ではなかなかできない体験ができ、とても良かったです!充実した一日にしたい方には是非おすすめです!
The ATV tour was great! I know some people were scared to ride the vehicle, but I love a but of adrenaline. So I left wanting more! But we had to stick to the track and keep in a single file. The views are just superb and wish we had more time to soak that in.
Our guide was awesome and took some really cool pictures of us. He was from South America.
We challenged ourselves as a family of five! The guide was amazing, and it was a lot of fun! I want to try it again!
家族5人でチャレンジしてみました!
ガイドの方が最高で、盛り上がり楽しかったです!また、チャレンジしたいです!
I thought the experience time of 5 hours was short, but it was very empty, so I was able to ride the slides without waiting! Also, the bus on the way there was delayed due to traffic, and we only had about 4 hours, but I was satisfied in just 2 hours.
体験時間が5時間で少ないと思っていましたが、とっても空いていたのでスライダーは待たずに乗れました!
また、行きのバスが渋滞で遅れ4時間ほどしかありませんでしたが2時間で満足してしまいました?
It lasted about an hour, but I was able to see the whales jump and spout (multiple times) without any issues!
The announcements were mainly in English, but there were also explanations in Japanese, so there were no problems.
It was the simplest plan without pick-up or breakfast, but the boarding time was also about two hours, which was not a problem. I was able to arrive smoothly from Waikiki using The Bus.
Points to note:
- The waves were quite high, and the boat rocked a lot. Be cautious of seasickness.
- Inside the cabin, the air conditioning was too strong, and outside it was windy and quite cold. A jacket is essential.
- The boat is relatively old and not very clean. There were areas that smelled a bit like garbage, possibly due to the food being served.
1時間程度でしたが、無事、鯨のジャンプと潮吹き(何度も)見ることができました!
基本的には英語のアナウンスですが日本語の解説もあり問題ありません。
送迎なし、朝食ナシの一番シンプルなプランでしたが、乗船時間も2時間程度と短く、特に問題ありません。
ワイキキからもThe Busで滞りなく到着できました。
注意点は・・
・かなり波が高く船はかなり揺れます。船酔い注意。
・船上はキャビン内はクーラーが効きすぎ、外は風が強くかなり冷えます。はおりモノは必須
・船は割と古く、それほどキレイではありません。食事が出るせいもあるか生ごみっぽいにおいがするエリアもあった

I participated with my parents, husband, and 2-year-old child. My husband and I took turns (if the timing worked out) to watch the dolphins.
When it started, it seemed like the timing wasn't going to work out, and I was wondering what to do when a staff member picked up my child. Amazingly, the child who usually cries didn't cry at all!! Thanks to that, my parents, husband, and I were all able to watch the dolphins together.
The staff were considerate of my child until the very end, and we were able to create wonderful memories, so I’m really glad!
両親と旦那と2歳の子どもと参加。
私と旦那で交代(タイミングが合えば可能)してイルカを観ようと参加しました。
いざ始まるとなかなかタイミングが合いそうになく、どうしようと思っていると、スタッフさんが子どもを抱っこしてくれました。しかもいつも泣く子が泣かない!!なので、両親と旦那と私と皆でイルカを観る事ができました。
最後まで子どもに気を遣っていただき、素晴らしい思い出ができたので良かったです!

I boarded the boat thinking I would be lucky to see even one whale, but I was thrilled to see three whales swimming together and dolphins up close multiple times! I could clearly hear the sound of them blowing water, and it was a wonderful experience of nature. The whale watching was fantastic, but one thing that concerned me was the loud construction noise inside the boat, which made it difficult to hear the naturalist's announcements and music. It would have been even better if there had been consideration for that.
一回でもみれたらラッキーと思いながら乗船しましたが、3匹のくじらが仲良く泳いでいる姿やイルカも近くで何回も見れてとても良かったです!潮を吹く時の音などもはっきり聞こえ、自然を体感できました。ホエールウォッチングとしては素晴らしかったのですが、一つ気になったのは船内での工事の音が大きく、ナチュラリストさんのアナウンスや音楽が聞こえにくかったりしたので、そこの配慮があったらなお良かったです。

This was so fun! We were totally new to snorkeling and a bit intimidated!
Dan, our guide, was patient and kind. He encouraged us and told us we had all day if needed.
After 10 minutes or so, we felt confident and ready. We saw two turtles, a moray eel, a tuna “tornado”,
And more fish than you can imagine. We snorkeled til we were too tired to go on! We are hooked.
Thanks, Dan!
Thank you guys,
You did great! We had a spectacular day! Hope we see you again. Dan.
I thought that seeing sea turtles while watching them would be a matter of luck, but I was so happy to see many of them. While snorkeling near the coral reefs, the sea turtles really swam right by me and underneath me, which was incredibly moving. Although the sea of angels didn't have a blue sky, the clarity was wonderful, and I really felt it was worth coming!
ウミガメウォッチングは見れたらラッキー程度のものかと思っていましたが、沢山見れて嬉しかったです。サンゴ礁付近でのシュノーケリングはウミガメが本当に自分の近くや真下を通っていき、凄く感動しました。天使の海は青空とまではいきませんでしたが素晴らしい透明度で、やっぱりきて良かったと思いました!
I was looking forward to it since I am learning hula. It was great that the show was in the hotel where I was staying, so it was close by. However, I didn't know that I needed to exchange the voucher for tickets, so even though I lined up early, I had to go through the process, which made me late. The food was also great; I enjoyed a variety of Hawaiian dishes, from vegetables to meat and dessert. The live performances, hula, and fire knife dance were all very impressive.
フラを習っているので、楽しみにしていました。
宿泊ホテルの中でのショーなので近くて良かったです。
但し、バウチャーからチケットに交換するのを知らなかったので、早くに並んでいたのに手続きしに行き、その分遅くなりました。
食事も、野菜からお肉、デザートまでハワイの料理が色々食べれて良かったです。
ライブ演奏やフラ、ファイヤーナイフダンスすべて見応えありました。
Unfortunately, I couldn't see them, but I was happy to meet a pod of dolphins. The guide was really nice and would let us know as soon as he spotted something!
The boat was comfortable, pleasant, and fun!
残念ながら見れませんでしたが、イルカの群れに会えてうれしかったです。
ガイドさんは何か見えるとすぐ教えてくれたり、すごくいい人でした!
船も快適で、気持ちよく、楽しかったです!
I participated with my mother in her 60s. On the day of the event, it was quite windy. I had experienced parasailing a few times before, and there were moments that felt like the brief lift you get on a roller coaster. I think on a calm day, it would just feel like floating peacefully.
I have a fear of heights, but parasailing doesn’t scare me. It is high up, but strangely, when you see the ocean below, you hardly feel the height, and more than that, the sensation of the sky, sea, and wind is just wonderful.
I tend to get seasick, but both my mother and I were fine. My mother, who was a bit scared, did scream a little when we were swept by the wind, but in the end, she said it was worth it and felt great!
For those who are hesitant and feeling a bit scared, I really encourage you to try it! The feeling of being close to the sky is amazing.
60代の母と参加しました。
当日は風が強く、パラセーリングは何度か経験したことがありましたが、ジェットコースターの一瞬お尻が浮く感じ?のような瞬間が度々ありました。風のない日ならきっとおだやかに浮いているだけだと思います。
私は高所恐怖症ですがパラセーリングは怖くないです。高いところなんでしょうけど、不思議と下が海だとほとんど高さも感じないし、それ以上に空と海と風の気持ち良さが最高です。
船酔いしやすいですが、私も母も大丈夫でした。
怖がっていた母も、風に流された時は多少叫んでましたが、結果はやって良かった!気持ちよかったと言ってました。
ちょっと怖いなと迷ってる方も、ぜひ体験してみて欲しいです!空に近くなる感じが最高です。
This is my second time, and it was still a lot of fun. Although I got a bit seasick due to the weather, it's also a good travel memory. Thank you!
今回2回目ですが、やっぱり楽しかったです。
多少天気の関係もあって船酔いもしたけど、それもいい旅行の思い出ですありがとうございます
We participated as a family!
It was our first whale watching experience!
The weather was nice, and we saw whales several times!
The kids were thrilled and had a great time!
家族で参加しました!
初のホエールウォッチングでした!
天気も良くクジラも何回か見えました!
子供も大喜びで楽しかったです!

Whales don't come out of the water with a big splash like in the anime. You might see a tail fin like in the pictures on the site, but in reality, it's smaller and not very impressive. However, I think kids will enjoy it, and being on the boat feels nice, so it's worth going at least once. I recommend it over the sandbar.
クジラってアニメみたいに、ザブーーーンと海面からは出てこないんです。サイトの写真にあるような尾びれは出ますが、実物は小さく迫力はないです。でもお子さまは喜ぶとは思うし、船は気持ちいいので、1回は行っても損はしない。サンドバーより、おすすめ。
Thank you very much for joining our cruise. There are times when active whales show off impressive jumps, so please come back to search for such whales again. All of our staff are looking forward to your visit.

アクティブなクジラが豪快なジャンプを見せてくれる事もございますので、ぜひまたそんなクジラを探しにらしてください。
