All Reviews for Kid Friendly (Ages 5-7)

As I imagined, the sandbar was indeed affected by the weather... However, the staff members who joined us on the boat were very cheerful, and we were able to have a great time!

想像通り、サンドバーは天気に左右されるなぁと感じました…
でも、内容も一緒に船に乗ったスタッフの方々もとても明るい方々で楽しむことができました！

It was unfortunately a cloudy day with strong winds, so the scenery was a bit disappointing, but I think I would have enjoyed it if the weather had been clear. There was also a paid photo service available!

あいにくのお天気で曇り空で、風が強い日でしたので、少し景色が残念でしたが、快晴であれば楽しめたと思います。有料ですが、写真撮影サービスもありました！

There are plenty of attractions, and there are areas where small children can have fun, so we were able to play all day! The wave pool and slides are especially enjoyable for both adults and kids! Unfortunately, some attractions were not in operation, and the one I wanted to ride the most was closed, which left me a bit disappointed. I recommend it for families with children, as it offers a safe environment to play, unlike the beach!

アトラクションも沢山あり、小さな子供も楽しめるエリアもあり一日中遊べました！特に波のプールやスライダーは大人も子供も楽しめます！残念だったのは運営してないアトラクションもあって、1番乗りたかったものがクローズでしたので少し心残りです。子連れの方には海とは違い安心して遊べるのでおススメです！

I wasn't able to swim with the sea turtles, but I was really happy to see so many of them. The staff members were all very nice, and I had a great time. The hamburger for lunch was delicious, with the patty freshly grilled. The sandbar was shallow, about knee-deep. I would like to visit again during a time when the tide is completely out. I wasn't very lucky with the snorkeling, as the water was murky and not very clear, but I could see colorful fish and coral reefs quite well.

ウミガメと一緒に泳ぐまでは出来なかったがたくさん見れて嬉しかった。スタッフの方々も良い方ばかりで楽しめた。ランチのハンバーガーもパティ焼き立てで美味しかった。サンドバーは浅いところで膝くらい。完全に潮が引く時期にも行ってみたい。シュノーケルは運が悪かったのか水が濁っていてあまりキレイとは言えなかったがカラフルな魚やサンゴ礁はよく見えた。

Parasailing over the ocean was amazing. The tour guides were cheerful and kind, which was great. Although it was 120 meters, I was satisfied that I was able to go up high. I only fell into the water with my lower body, so my face didn't get splashed, which was nice. I was able to enjoy a panoramic view of the Hawaiian scenery, and it became a wonderful memory.

海の上でのパラセーリングは最高でした。
ツアーの方も愉快で優しくて良かったです。120mでしたが上の方まで上がることができて満足でした。海に落ちるのは下半身だけで顔に水が被らなくてよかったです。ハワイの景色を一望できていい思い出になりました。

The blue sky and blue sea, Waikiki Beach, Diamond Head – we had a fantastic cruising experience in the best location! The interior of the boat is quite cold, so a jacket is essential. When you go out on deck, the sun is strong, so I recommend bringing a hat and sunglasses. The wind is strong, so be careful not to lose anything.

As for the whale watching, we did see some spouts from a distance. You can see them with the naked eye, but it's difficult to capture them in photos.

青い空に青い海、ワイキキビーチ、ダイヤモンドヘッドと最高のロケーションでクルージングが出来ました！
船内はとても冷えているので上着は必須です。デッキに出れば日差しが強いので帽子とサングラスがあれば良いかと思います。風は強いので飛ばないように。
目的のホエールウォッチングは見れたと言えば見れました。割と遠めに潮吹きが何度かあって、目視はできるけど、写真に収めるのは難しいです。

There is a shuttle service to nearby hotels, so it's安心 at night. The appetizer buffet came with free drinks, and while the buffet was on the second floor, we were on the third floor, which had a great view. There weren't many types of appetizers, but it was fine since we had eaten a little beforehand. The beer, sparkling wine, and wine were all-you-can-drink, which was a great deal. The staff was friendly, coming to take our orders and even taking photos for us. We could also access the second floor, where we could listen to live music. The sunset was beautiful.

近くのホテルへの送迎があるので，夜も安心。フリードリンク付きのアペタイザー食べ放題でしたが，ビュッフェの人は2階で，我々は3階で，景色が良く見えて良かったです。アペタイザーはあまり種類がありませんが，ちょっと食べてから行ったので問題なし。ビールやスパークリングワイン，ワインなどは飲み放題だったのでお得でした。スタッフは気持よくオーダーを取りに来てくれたり，写真を撮ってくれたり，親切でした。2階にも入れるので，生演奏も聞くことができました。夕日がきれいでした。

On January 14th, I went with my family of four (including a 2.5-year-old boy). It was a weekday, so we had unlimited rides! The place was smaller than I expected, so we were able to enjoy everything comfortably. Our favorite was the four-person Tornado. Riding with four people was definitely more dynamic and fun than riding with just two.

After lunch, the parents got tired, so the kids went sliding by themselves, and they also participated in the $5 bodyboarding, which was a lot of fun to film. It seemed like they enjoyed it as they got better with each attempt! The next day, they mentioned having sore arms (laughs). The height restrictions were quite lenient, and even a child who was 126 cm tall could ride the Shaka, but it was a bit risky at that angle. It was a bit nerve-wracking!

I'm glad we went, but I think once is enough for me. The kids might want to go again, though.

1月14日、家族4人（2.5年男子）と行って来ました。平日で乗り放題！思ったより小さいので、余裕で回れました。4人乗りのトルネードがお気に入りです。2人で乗るより4人で乗った方が断然、ダイナミックになり楽しかったです。
昼食後、親は疲れてしまって、子供達だけで滑りに行ってもらったり、一人5ドルのボディーボードに参加してもらい撮影を楽しみました。
何回も挑戦するうちに乗れるようになり楽しかったようです！次の日、腕が筋肉痛と言っていましたが（笑）身長制限はゆるゆるで126センチの子供もシャカ乗れましたが、あれば角度が危ない。ヒヤヒヤしました〜
行って良かったです。でも、2回目はもう
いいかな。子供は行きたいかもだけれど。

This was my first time participating. I chose this dinner cruise because I wanted to experience an overseas atmosphere, and there were fewer Japanese people on it. The content of the cruising was as I imagined; we enjoyed a buffet at the beginning and then each of us enjoyed the scenery, as well as Hawaiian dance and music at the bar. The taste of the food was just average.

The problem was the shuttle service to the hotel. We were staying at the Prince Waikiki, and during the pickup, we were the first to be picked up, followed by stops at other hotels. Considering that they drive on the right side and the route to the destination, it was a logical order. However, on the way back, we passed by the Prince Waikiki first but for some reason, we just went straight past it. In the end, we were left until the very last, and ultimately dropped off about 100 meters away from the Prince Waikiki, being told to walk back. It didn’t make sense since other hotels were dropped off at their pickup locations.

Additionally, it seemed that the arrangements for the return bus were poor, and we had to wait for about 30 minutes. Because of that, what was supposed to be a tour ending at 7:30 PM ended up with us getting back to the hotel at 9 PM. Given that this tour operates daily, the poor arrangements and inefficient shuttle route make it hard to recommend. It might be better to meet on-site. I will not participate in this tour again.

今回初めて参加しました。海外の雰囲気を感じたかったので、日本人が少ないこのディナークルーズを選びました。クルージングの中身については想像通りで、最初にビュッフェを楽しんであとはそれぞれ景色を見たり、バーでハワイアンダンスやハワイアンミュージックを楽しむ内容でした。料理の味は普通といったところ。
問題はホテルまでの送迎サービスでした。
私たちはプリンスワイキキに宿泊していたのですが、迎えの時は最初にピックアップされて他のホテルを回るルート。右側通行であること、目的地へのルートを考えると合理的な順番です。そう考えると、帰りのルートはプリンスワイキキを1番最初に通過するのですが、なぜかそのまま真横を通過。結局最後まで残されて、挙げ句の果てにプリンスワイキキから100メートルほど離れたところに降ろされて、あとは歩いて帰れと言われる。他のホテルはピックアップした場所で下ろしているのに意味が分からない。
この日はさらに、帰りのバスの段取りが悪かったようで30分ほど待たされる。
それも重なり19時30分に終了するツアーのはずが、ホテルに帰り着いたのは21時でした。
毎日運行しているツアーなのに段取りが悪い点や非効率的な送迎ルートを考えるとあまりおすすめはしません。
現地集合がいいかもしれませんね。
私はもうこのツアーには参加しません。

We went to our destination not just by ourselves but also with others on the same boat. The staff who provided transportation and handled the parasailing were very friendly, which naturally lifted our spirits! It was my first time parasailing, and since I wanted to make the most of it, I decided to choose the plan that goes up to the highest point, 150 meters. When I actually did it, the height was quite significant. Of course, individual experiences may vary, but I found it very enjoyable and didn't feel scared at all. The view of the scenery and the ocean from above is amazing! Right before the end, they even give you a little splash in the sea! Your face probably won't get wet! This is definitely one activity I want to do again if I get the chance!

自分達だけでなく他の方と同じボートで目的地に行きます。送迎の方やパラセーリングを担当してくれた方も凄く気さくでテンションも自然と上がります！初めてパラセーリングしたのですが、せっかくなので1番高くまで上がるプランにしようと考え150mを選びました。実際やってみるとかなり高さはあります。個人差はもちろんあると思いますが、私はとても楽しく怖さはありませんでした。上から見る景色や海は最高です！終わり間際に海ポチャも軽くしてくれます！顔までは多分濡れません！
出来るならまた絶対やりたいアクティビティの１つです！

The instructors were from overseas, but they understood the necessary Japanese and explained everything in a fun way. The activities were excellent!

Since the boat sways quite a bit, I think it's a good idea to have motion sickness medication.

インストラクターの方達は海外の方でしたが必要な日本語は理解してくれていて、楽しく説明してくれてアクティビティも最高でした！

船が結構揺れるので酔い止めはあった方がいいと思います

We went as a family. There was a campaign where one child could enter for free with two adults, which made it a great deal. There was another company offering the same discount tour, but it seemed you couldn't apply at the last minute, so I was happy that Veltra allowed applications until 5:00 PM the day before. Perhaps because it was a weekday, it was not crowded, and we could slide on almost everything with just a little wait. However, we couldn't do surfing or bodyboarding due to the wait times and the schedule, and it was disappointing that there was one slide that wasn't operating. For lunch, we bought pizza and fries, which were delicious. My children are in elementary and middle school, but there were plenty of places for younger kids to enjoy as well.

家族で行きました。大人二人に対して子供一人分がが無料になるキャンペーンがありお得に行けました。もう一社同じ割引のツアーがありましたが、直前では申し込めないようで、ベルトラさんは前日17:00まで申し込めて嬉しかったです。平日だからか空いていて少し並べば滑れるもの殆どで、サーフィンかボディボードが出来るようなものは待ち時間がある為、集合時間の関係で出来なかったことと、ひとつ動いていないスライダーがあった点は残念でした。お昼はピザやポテトを買って食べましたが美味しかったです。我が家の子供は小中学生でしたが、もっと小さいお子さんも楽しめる場所も沢山ありました。

The venue was not as large as I expected, but it was an impressive show where the dancers were clearly visible. However, there were notes on the voucher regarding dress code, stating that T-shirts were not allowed and long pants were required, yet most people were dressed in shorts and sandals. While a collared shirt was worn on top, I believe it would have been better if the guidelines had specified that collared shirts were acceptable and that any pants except swimwear were allowed.

会場が思ったほど広くなく、ダンサーが良く見え迫力満点のショーでした　　ただ、服装の関係でTシャツNG・長ズボンなど注意点がバウチャーに記載されていましたが、ほとんどの人は短パン・サンダルの格好であった。
上着は襟付きシャツでしたが・・
格式あるショーであると思いますが、記載の際に上着襟付きならOK・ズボンは水着以外OKとの記載でもよかったのではと思いました

I participated in the English tour alone, but everyone was friendly and I had a great time. The lunch buffet was delicious, and all three activities were wonderful.

英語ツアーに一人で参加しましたが皆さんフレンドリーで楽しく過ごせました。昼食のビュッフェも美味しく、３つのアクティビティー全て良かったです。

I previously had a horseback riding experience at Kualoa Ranch, but the movie tour aside, the horseback riding felt very much like a "tourist attraction"—it was crowded, and we all went in a line together.

At Gunstock Ranch, my 2-year-and-10-month-old daughter could ride a pony, while my husband and I chose to ride horses. A staff member walked with my daughter's pony, and we followed behind on our own horses. There aren't many places that allow small children to ride alone, so it was a valuable experience! We chose a 20-minute ride, which was more than enough time for little ones! The grounds are incredibly spacious, allowing us to feel the great outdoors, and afterward, they let my daughter brush the pony and give it treats, which was really friendly of them. I definitely want to go back next time!

*However, there were no staff members who spoke Japanese. I don't think it would be too much of a problem, though.

以前クアロア牧場で乗馬体験もしたのですが、映画地のツアーはともかく乗馬に関しては「観光向け」という感じで、混んでいるし、みんなでぞろぞろ行く感じでした。

このガンストック牧場は2歳10か月の娘がポニー、私と夫は馬と選べて、係の女の人が娘のポニーを引いて歩いてくれ、私たちは後ろから自分たちでついていくという感じです。小さい子1人で乗らせてくれるところはないので、貴重な体験でした！
20分のライドを選びましたが、小さい子には十分すぎる時間です！
敷地はものすごく広くて大自然を感じられるし、終わった後で娘にポニーのブラッシングや、おやつをあげさせてくれたりして、本当にフレンドリーでした(^^)次回も絶対に行きたいです！

※ただ日本語が話せるスタッフさんはいなかったです。
そんなに困る事はないと思いますが。

This was my second time since last year, but there were significantly fewer activities that my 6-year-old could participate in, leaving me feeling somewhat unsatisfied. We were able to rent a cabana on-site. The meeting point was also hard to find, and they were definitely late, which made me feel very anxious. I'm looking forward to next year.

去年からの2回目でしたが、6歳の子供ができるものがかなり減っていて、物足りなさが残ってしまいました。カバナは現地で借りることができました。集合場所もわかりにくく、時間通りになるは勿論来ないので、とても不安な気持ちになりました。来年に期待です。

It was rainy on the day, but I had a great time snorkeling! We played beach volleyball at the sandbar, and it was fun! The hamburgers for lunch were delicious, made with freshly grilled meat!

当日は雨模様でしたが、シュノーケリングも楽しめて最高でした！サンドバーでビーチバレーをしましたが楽しかったです！お昼のハンバーガーも焼きたてお肉でおいしかったです！

We decided to try it out on short notice and made a reservation the day before. I received a request from Veltra to change the time, and since it was the day before, I adjusted my plans a bit and decided to go for the experience. I didn't feel seasick, and it turned out to be a fun experience. Although the conversation was in English, I appreciated the lively and humorous vibe typical of international interactions. I also purchased photos for $30, which became a great memory!

急遽やってみようという話になり前日に予約しました。
一度ベルトラさんの方から時間を変えてほしいという連絡をもらい前日だったため少し予定を変更し体験することにしました。
船酔いもなく、楽しい体験になりました。英語での会話ですが、笑わせてくれたり盛り上げてくれる海外のノリがまたいいなと感じました。
写真も30ドルで購入し、いい思い出になりました！

I participated with three friends from university. At first, we were all a bit nervous due to fear, but the staff's cheerful energy quickly eased our tension. Parasailing was truly exhilarating, and I'm glad I had such an experience in my life. While jet skiing, there was music playing, and the staff helped create a lively atmosphere, which was fantastic! If I have the chance to go to Hawaii again, I would definitely like to use this service again.

大学の友人3人と参加させていただきました。
最初は全員恐怖心もあって、少し緊張していたのですがスタッフの方のテンションが陽気すぎて緊張感はすぐに無くなりました。
パラセーリングは本当に気持ちよくて、人生でこんな経験が出来て良かったなと思います。
ジェットスキー内では音楽がかかってたり、スタッフの方が場を盛り上げてくれるので雰囲気も◎でした！
次ハワイに行く機会があればまた是非利用したいと思います。

This time, we were able to see the whales almost immediately after departing. I wonder how many we saw ( 〃▽〃) !! It felt like they were running alongside the boat, and I was gazing at the sea from the deck the whole time.

今回もほぼ出発するとまもなくしてクジラ達を見ることが出来ました。
いったい何頭見れてたのでしょうか( 〃▽〃) ！！船と並走してるかのようでずっとデッキで海を眺めていました。

I had high expectations, but I was disappointed. The variety of dishes was limited, and there were no crew members who spoke Japanese, so I didn't know where the live performance would take place.

期待してたが残念でした
料理は品数も少ないし　日本語の話せる乗務員がいなかった為　生演奏がどこで行われるかわからなかった

Oahu is beautiful and the tour was a Great way to experience it. Unfortunately, it did rain for part of the trip. Greg, our driver and guide is very personable and knowledgeable. He really aims to please. I would say that we were a little too packed on the bus, it would have been preferable to have been on a smaller tour. Overall, you certainly get your monies worth!

It was fun since it was my first time on a catamaran. The cabin with a roof, the open deck, and the net stretched over the water below allowed me to change my spot according to my mood, making it comfortable. The staff was friendly and kind. Drinks and snacks were free (alcoholic beverages required tips in the box). They would shout out if they spotted a whale, so you wouldn't miss it. Luckily, I was able to see them multiple times.

初めての双胴船なので楽しかった。ルーフがあるキャビン、オープンなデッキ、下は海面の双胴に渡したネットの上など気分で居場所を変えることができ快適。スタッフはフレンドリーで親切。ドリンク＆スナック菓子が無料(アルコール類はチップをボックスに)。クジラが見えたら大声で教えてくれるので見逃さない。運良く何回も見ることが出来た。

They arrived right on time. Since it was a limousine bus, the air conditioning was quite strong, so a long-sleeved shirt was necessary. After arriving, we had free time, but the lunch included in the course was delicious. It was simply tasty. To be honest, I wasn't expecting much, so I was surprised by its simple deliciousness. There weren't many items, but I was more than satisfied.

And this is a very personal matter, but I realized I didn't have my wallet after arriving. When I told the tour guide, they contacted various places and found it inside the bus. They even delivered it to me when I was leaving. I'm really grateful! I thought it would never come back, so I was very happy. It was miraculous, but if the tour guide hadn't helped, I wouldn't have gotten it back. I can't thank them enough! Thank you very much!

The attractions were fairly interesting. However, perhaps because it was the off-season, quite a few were closed. I wanted to relax, so it was fine for me.

時間きっかりに迎えにきました。リムジンバスなので、車内はかなり冷房が効いているから、長袖のシャツが一枚必要。
着いてからは自由行動ですが、食事つきのコースでお昼を食べたのしですが、美味しい。普通に美味しい。失礼だけれど期待してなかっただけに、シンプルなおいしさにビックリ。品目は多くないけれど、十分に満足です。
そして、そしてこれは極めて個人的なことですが、到着してから財布がないのに気づいて、添乗員さんに言ったら、あちこちに連絡してくださって、結果バスの中に落ちいていたのを見つけてくれて、更に帰るときに届けてくださいました。本当に感謝！絶対に戻ってこないと思っていたので、とてもうれしかったです。奇跡的なんだけれど、添乗員の方が対応してくれなかったら、戻ってきませんでした。感謝しきれません！ありがとうございました！
アトラクションは、まあまあ面白かったです。が、シーズンオフだからか、開いていないのも結構ありました。のんびりしたかったので、私にはよかったです。

I didn't have high expectations since many people couldn't see them, but I was able to see them multiple times. The weather was nice, and even if you can't see the whales, you can enjoy the view of Waikiki from the sea. I watched from the third floor, but if you want to feel more of the impact, I think it's better to watch from the first floor.

It was a large boat, and the weather was good with calm seas, but it still rocked a bit. If you're not confident with rides, it might be a good idea to bring some medication.

見れない方も多かったので期待はしていませんでしたが何度も見れました。
お天気もよくたとえクジラが見れなくても海からのワイキキの景色を楽しめますよ。
3階から見ていましたがより迫力を感じたいなら1階から見る方がいいと思います。

大きな船だし天気もよく穏やかな海でしたがやはり揺れました。
乗り物に自信のない方は薬をもっていった方がいいかな。

I wanted to make my 6-year-old child happy, so I participated, but they started saying it was boring halfway through, which was tough. My 75-year-old mother was happy, so that was a relief. I've been to Hawaii nearly 20 times, but as a first-time participant, I was able to see what was going on in the ocean, and I enjoyed it quite a bit.

6歳の子供に喜んでもらいたくて、参加したのですが、
途中でつまらないと言い出してしまって参りました。
75歳の母は喜んでくれて一安心でした。
20回近くハワイに来ているのですが、初めて参加した私は海の中の様子がわかり、割と楽しめて
よかったです。

I chose the 150m option, but the higher you go, the better the view. You can enjoy the scenery around Waikiki in the sky where you only hear the sound of the wind.

For an additional $30, you can have a photo taken from below with a DSLR, but I wish I had taken some pictures of the view from above as well. I should have brought a cable to attach the camera to my neck to avoid dropping it.

When you land, you wear a life jacket, so only your lower body gets wet. The staff made it a fun experience, creating wonderful memories. I can't ride roller coasters, but I really enjoyed this.

150mにしましたが、やはり高い方が景色がいいです。風の音しかしない上空でワイキキ周辺の景色を楽しめます。
一眼レフでの写真を30$追加で下から撮ってもらえますが、上空からの景色も撮っておけばよかったと思っています。
落とさないようにケーブルで首につけてカメラを持っていけばよかったです。
最後に着水するときはライフジャケットをつけているので腰下しか濡れません。
スタッフの方が楽しませてくれるので最高の思い出になりました。
私はジェットコースター乗れませんが、これは楽しめました。

The guide was Jodi, who is half Japanese. She was bright and fun. We first visited a small art museum and souvenir shop, where we learned about the history of Hawaii. While looking at paintings about Hawaiian history, she provided detailed explanations that were very informative (about 10 minutes). Jodi was the only guide who spoke so extensively about history. When we went hiking, she lent us trekking poles for free. At first, I thought I wouldn't need them, but they were incredibly helpful in rough areas. Jodi was knowledgeable about the trees and carefully explained various plants, which was enjoyable. While I think you could hike without a guide, and many people were climbing individually, having a guide is beneficial for learning things like why almost all the plants on that mountain are native to Hawaii, which you wouldn't know just by climbing. I recommend going with a guide. When we reached photo-worthy spots, Jodi took pictures for us from various angles, and they all turned out great. I had been told in advance that my shoes would get muddy, but it hadn't rained for about three days, so my shoes only got a little dirty. There are slippery areas in some places, so I think sneakers are essential. There were quite a few foreigners climbing in bikinis and flip-flops, but that gear is dangerous. They were lightly equipped to swim at the waterfall, but according to Jodi, the water is unsanitary, and swimming can lead to illness. (The waterfall was off-limits, but foreigners were entering the restricted area.) The water level of the waterfall varies by day; on rainy days, it has more water and looks great for photos, but I went on a sunny day and was satisfied with the pictures I took. The organic lunch was incredibly delicious and had a taste that Japanese people would enjoy. Jodi recommended various dining options near our hotel, and when we went later, they were fantastic, cheap, and I wished I had known earlier! I appreciate Jodi for providing such local insights, which made our trip more fulfilling. It's a small mountain, so it's easy to climb for those looking to get some exercise. While Diamond Head is more famous, I personally prefer this one because it has more nature. I would like to climb it again when I come back to Hawaii.

【For Participants】
1. Comfortable sneakers are essential. There are muddy areas, so comfortable sneakers are necessary. If you go like the foreigners in flip-flops, you might get injured.
2. Tips are necessary. The fee is paid to the operating company, while tips are paid to the guide separately. A general guideline for tips is 10-15% of the fee for the tour guide.

【Requests to the Operating Company】
1. Include tips in the price. Many Japanese people are not familiar with the tipping culture, so some may not know that tips are required on tours. There may be times when they don't have much cash on hand, so including it in the initial fee would be reassuring. (Someone from a different group that participated with us asked how much to tip.)
2. Concerns about the top photo of this tour on the Veltra website. The photo shows two women in front of a large tree, but many tourists have carved their names and designs into the tree trunk. Since it's used in official photos, I thought it was okay to carve into the tree, but it seems that's not the case. I think it would be good to replace the photo to avoid such misunderstandings. Jodi, who loves nature, was cautious about carving into trees.

ガイドは日本人とのハーフのジョディさん。明るく楽しい方でした。最初に小さな美術館兼お土産ショップに行き、ハワイの歴史を学びました。ハワイの歴史についての絵を見ながら説明していただき、とても詳しくて勉強になりました。（10分程度）。こんなに詳しく歴史を話してくれたガイドはジョディさんだけでした。ハイキングをするときに登山用杖を無料で貸してくれました。最初はいらないと思っていましたが、足場の悪いところでは大活躍でした。ジョディさんは木々に詳しくて、色々な植物の説明を丁寧にしてくださり、楽しかったです。ハイキングをするだけなら、ガイドはいなくてもいいかと思いますし、事実、個人で登っている人も多かったですが、あの山の植物がほぼハワイ原産じゃない理由とか普通に上っていたら知れないことを教えてくれるのはガイドがいるからこそだと思うので、ガイド付きをおすすめします。写真映えするスポットにくるとジュディさんが写真を撮ってくださり、いろんなアングルから撮ってくれて、どれも素敵でした。事前に靴がドロドロになると言われていましたが、3日くらい前から雨が降っていなかったそうで、靴は少し汚れた程度で済みました。場所によっては滑りやすい場所もあるのでスニーカーは必須だと思います。外国人でビキニ、ビーチサンダルで登っている人は少なくなかったですが、その装備は危険です。彼らは滝で泳ぐために軽装備にしていますが、ジョディさんが言うには滝の水は不衛生なので泳ぐと病気になるそうです。（滝は立ち入り禁止になっていましたが、外国人は普通に禁止エリアに入っていました）。滝の水量は日によって違うらしく、雨の日だと水量が多くて、写真映えするそうですが、晴れてる日に行きましたが、満足する写真が撮れました。オーガニックのお弁当はめちゃくちゃおいしかったです。日本人好みの味でした。ジョディさんは私たちが宿泊しているホテルの近くのおすすめの飲食店を色々教えてくださり、後日行ったらめちゃくちゃおいしくて、安くて、もっと早く知っていれば！と思いましたし、そういう地元の人が知っている情報を教えて頂けて、より旅行が充実したのでジョディさんに感謝しています。小さい山なので運動不足解消に気軽に登れます。山ならダイヤモンドヘッドの方が有名だけど、こっちの方が自然が多くて個人的には好きです。またハワイに来たら登りたいと思います。

【参加者へ】
①歩きやすいスニーカーは必須
ぬかるんでいる場所もあるので歩きやすいスニーカーは必要です。外国人のようにビーチサンダルで行くと多分ケガすると思います。
②チップが必要
料金は催行会社へ支払われるもの、チップはガイドへ支払われるもので別です。ツアーガイドへは一般的に料金の10～15％がチップの目安になります。

【催行会社へ要望】
①チップ込みにしてほしい
日本人はチップ文化になじみがないので、ツアーでチップがかかることを知らない人がいます。当日、現金をあまり持っていない場合もあるので、最初の料金に含まれているとこちらも安心です。（一緒に参加した別グループの方にチップをどれくらい払うか相談されました）
②ベルトラのHPのこのツアートップ写真にもやもや
女性二人が大きな木の前にいる写真が使われていますが、その木の幹に観光客が名前とか模様とかたくさん刻まれています。公式写真で使われているので、木に彫るのが平気なのかと思いましたが、本当ならダメみたいですね。そういう誤解を生まないように写真の差し替えをしたらどうかなと思いました。ジュディさんは自然が好きな方なので、木を彫ることについて注意喚起されました。

I have a fear of heights and can't even ride a Ferris wheel, but after seeing this zip line on TV, I really wanted to try it, so I signed up with my husband. To be honest, I was considering canceling until just before the event.

In the car on the way there, the driver seemed to be giving a tour in English, but I couldn't understand anything. However, I enjoyed the drive, feeling the great nature, which was different from Waikiki.

Once we arrived, the procedures were in English, and I was confused, but I managed to get through it by asking a Japanese participant for help. There were three guides for our group of eleven, and since my husband and I were the oldest, the guides were very kind and attentive to us.

During the initial practice, I hesitated several times, but I thought that if I didn't jump here, there would be no going back (laughs). With each jump, I felt less like I had a fear of heights, and by the end, I was able to fly while spinning the camera with one hand. There were various attractions along the way, and the guides put on performances, making it a lot of fun.

When I signed up, I thought the price was high, but I believe it was worth even more than that. The guides took photos for us, which we could purchase, but I wish there had been videos as well. I definitely want to participate again next time!

高所恐怖症で観覧車も乗れないのにテレビでこのジップラインを見てどうしてもやりたくて主人と申込みしましたが正直直前まで私だけキャンセルしようかと思っていました。
お迎えの車の中では運転手さんが英語でガイドをしていたみたいですが全く解りませんでしたが景色はワイキキとは違い大自然を感じるドライブを楽しむことができました。
着いてからの手続きも英語なので解らず迷っていたら日本人の参加の方に聞きながらなんとか出来ました。
３名のガイドの方に１１人のグループで私たち夫婦が最高齢でガイドの方もそれをわかってかとても親切丁寧に接してくれていました。
初めの練習の時何度か躊躇しましたがここで飛ばなければ後がないと思いきりました（笑）
回数を重なるごとに高所恐怖症ではなかったのではと思うくらいで、最後は片手でカメラを回しながら飛ぶこともできました。途中途中いろんなアトラクションがあったり、ガイドさんのパフォーマンスがあったりとても楽しかったです。
申し込むとき料金高いなと思いましたがそれ以上に価値があったと思います。ガイドさんが写真を撮ってくれて購入することができましたが動画もあれば良かったなと思いました。
次回もぜひ参加したいです！！

I participated with my child and mother, and I felt安心 because the guide took great care of us. We got out of the water first, but a couple who joined the same tour was able to see a sea turtle.

子供と母を連れての参加でしたがガイドさんが細やかにお世話してくださいますので安心して参加できました。私どもは先に海から出たのですが、同ツアーに参加されていたカップルの方はウミガメを見ることができました。
