Oahu
The low tide on the day of participation coincided perfectly with our arrival at the sandbar (11 AM), so I decided to join the tour.
Even though it was low tide, there was no sand exposed even in the shallowest areas, and the water level was about up to my calves.
However, the water was very clear and beautiful! The surrounding areas were deep and a deep blue, while the sandbar itself was a lighter blue, creating a stunning contrast!
Even though it was July, it was a bit chilly when we got out of the water. But since the weather was nice, drying off and getting into the sun helped a lot. It seemed a bit tough for my 4-year-old, though.
If the weather is bad or during the winter, you might need warm clothing.
The barbecue burger was also very delicious. It might have been the tastiest meal I had during my stay in Hawaii!
I'm really glad I participated. Thank you for the wonderful experience!
参加当日の干潮時刻が、ちょうどサンドバーに到着時刻(11時)だったので、ツアーに申し込むことにしました。
干潮時刻だったけど、一番浅い所でも砂が顔をだすことはなく、ふくらはぎくらいまでは水面があったかと思います。
でも、海水の透明度がたかくて、とってもきれいでした!
それに、回りは深くてディープブルーなのに、サンドバーのところは、水色で、そのコントラストもとってもきれいでした!
7月だったけど、海から上がると、寒かったです。ただ天気がよかったので水気をとって、日向にでると、大丈夫でしたよ。4歳児には少々辛かったようですが(^^;
お天気が悪かったり、冬の時期だと、防寒具も必要かもしれないですね。
バーベキューバーガーもとってもおいしかったです。
ハワイ滞在中の食事の中で一番おいしく感じたかもしれません(^^)v
参加してよかったですp(^-^)q
楽しませてくれてありがとうございました♪
I went to Hawaii for my sister's wedding, and since my parents are at an age where snorkeling is tough for them, I participated alone. However, since the instructor was always with the participants, I had a very fulfilling experience even by myself! There were also families with small children, so I think even little ones can have a lot of fun!
今回姉の結婚式でハワイに行き、両親は年齢的にもシュノーケリングは厳しいということで、1人で参加したのですが、常にインストラクターの方と参加者で回っているので、1人でもとても充実した体験ができました!家族連れの方もいたので、小さいお子さんでもとても楽しめると思います!!
Thank you for joining our tour. We're glad to hear that you enjoyed it. We will continue to work hard to ensure satisfaction for both individuals and families! We look forward to seeing you again when you visit Hawaii. Thank you. Mahalo!!
この度は私達のツアーにご参加いただき、ありがとうございます。とても楽しんでいただけた様で良かったです。お一人の方でもファミリーの方にもご満足していただけます様にこれからも頑張ります!!またハワイにお越しの際にはお会いできますことを楽しみにしております。ありがとうございました。Mahalo!!
Honestly, I underestimated it. I thought that "swimming with dolphins" would just mean seeing the shadows of dolphins in the distance... I was completely wrong. The dolphins were swimming right next to me. There were so many dolphins swimming close enough that I could reach out and touch them. Occasionally, they would come closer, swimming in circles right beneath me, and when they put their heads in the water, I could hear their sounds, like "wee-wee." It was truly an amazing experience.
After that, we had activities like kayaking and paddleboarding, and I was able to see sea turtles up close. The stand-up paddleboarding was a bit challenging for me, but I enjoyed snorkeling enough. I learned that sea turtles come up for air about every 20 minutes, and they would suddenly appear from the seabed, swimming alongside us for photos, and then another turtle would come up... it was fantastic.
The weather was great, and the sea was calm, making it an absolutely wonderful experience.
正直舐めてました。「イルカと泳げる」なんて、どうせ遠くにイルカの影が見えるだけだろうと...
完全な間違いでした。まさにイルカが本当にすぐ近くを泳いでました。手を伸ばせば届くようなところに何匹も何匹もイルカが泳いでいました。時よりこっちに近づいてきては、自分の真下でぐるぐる回りながら泳いでいたり、そして水に頭をつけると、「キュイーンキュイーン」とそのイルカたちの鳴き声が聞こえました。本当に素晴らしい体験でした。
その後はカヤックやパドルボートでのアクティビティでしたが、なんとここではウミガメを間近で見ることができました。スタンドアップパドルボートは私には少し難しかったのですが、シュノーケリングだけでも十分楽しめました。ウミガメは20分ぐらいに一度息継ぎのために海面に上がってくるそうで、あちこちでウミガメが突如海底から姿を現しては一緒に泳いで写真をとって、また別のウミガメが上がってきて..といった感じで最高でした。
天気も良く、海も凪いでおり実に素晴らしい体験でした。
Aloha!! Thank you for participating in the tour! I'm glad to hear that you had the opportunity to meet our friendly dolphin instructors and turtle professors, and truly experience "swimming with dolphins." Their sounds are so cute, aren't they? We look forward to seeing you again! Mahalo!!
Aloha!!この度はツアーへのご参加ありがとうございました!フレンドリーなイルカ先生やカメ教授とたくさん出会えたようで、まさに”イルカと泳ぐ’というのを存分に体感していただけて良かったです。鳴き声かわいいですよね〜♡是非またのご参加をお待ちしております!Mahalo!!
It was a great day with great friends (and new friends)! We love new snorkel adventures and thoroughly enjoyed our afternoon. The hosts were terrific, and we enjoyed watching them enjoy their job!
I was riding with American tourists, and I was able to enjoy it without feeling very nervous. If you participate alone, you might need some English skills, so please engage in small talk to keep the atmosphere on the boat pleasant. It will be a great memory.
私はアメリカ人観光客との
ライディングでしたが
非常に緊張することなく楽しめました。
仮に一人参加の方は英語力が必要かも
ボートでの雰囲気を壊さないように
雑談にも励んでください。
いい思い出になります。
The cruise was a blast! The meal was okay, but the views made it memorable.
This was my first time in Hawaii. Since we wanted to move at our own pace, we arranged for an optional tour instead of a travel agency tour. The tour description mentioned, "If you're lucky, you might encounter a sea turtle?!" but I thought, "Yeah, right, if we're lucky," and didn't really expect much (laughs).
After actually participating, I was first struck by the beauty of the ocean! At 155 cm tall, I could see all the way to the bottom even in water that was waist to chest deep. I was so excited to be in the Hawaiian sea for the first time that I was acting like a kid. The sun was really strong, and when I tried to put on my sunglasses that I had on my head... they were gone! I must have dropped them somewhere in the ocean (;;). Even though it was my own carelessness, I was really bummed because they were my favorite, and my excitement dropped from 100% to 70%. However, I decided to search the area while playing around, as we had an event for snorkeling in the afternoon.
I searched for about five minutes when suddenly, I spotted something brown and white, like a marble, moving with fin-like claws! "Wait? A turtle? No way!!" I quickly stood up, and to my surprise, a sea turtle was swimming right in front of me! It was an incredible close encounter! My excitement shot up to 120%. I was truly amazed!
Unfortunately, I didn't have my camera at that moment, so I can't share any photos. Later, someone else found my sunglasses, which was such a relief.
The lunch burger was also fantastic, with freshly grilled meat and fresh vegetables and fruits. The beans were delicious, and the local tour staff played guitar and sang soothing songs, which made it very enjoyable.
The afternoon snorkeling event was also great since we practiced perfectly in the morning (laughs). The sight of the coral fish coexisting was beautiful, and I was completely captivated.
If I have the chance to go to Hawaii again, I would definitely want to join this tour. It became a wonderful page in my memory!
今回初めてのハワイでした。自分たちの好きな時間で動きたいので、旅行会社のツアーではなくオプショナルツアーで手配しました。
このツアーの説明に「運が良ければウミガメと遭遇?!」と書いてありましたけれど「はいはい、運が良ければねー」ってほぼ期待していませんでした(笑)。
実際に参加してみて。
まず海の美しさに感動!身長155㎝の私が立って腰から胸ぐらいの深さでも足元までちゃんと見えます。
初めてのハワイの海にテンション上がっちゃって年甲斐もなく超はしゃいでました。やっぱり日差しが強いので、頭にのせていたサングラスをかけようとしたら・・・ない!海のどこかでお落としてしまったのです(;;)
自分の不注意とはいえ、お気に入りだったので半分諦めながらも100%のテンションが70%まで落ちて残念な気持ちになったのですが、午後からあるイベント”シュノーケリング”の練習を兼ねて遊んでいた周辺を探してみました。
5分ぐらい探したでしょうか、ふっと目線の先に茶色と白のマーブルのような、爪もギザギザになっていてるヒレのようなものがひょいひょいと動いているではありませんか?
「え?カメ?うそ!まさか!!」と、慌てて立ち上がってみると、なんと本当にウミガメさんが私の目の前をスイスイと泳いでいるのです!!
まさかのニアピン!!
テンションは一気に120%までUP。ほんとに感激しました!
そのときカメラを持っていなかったので写真をアップできないのが残念です。
後ほど、別の方がサングラスも見つけてくださり、本当によかったです。
ランチのハンバーガーも、焼きたてのお肉と新鮮な野菜、フルーツ。ビーンズもとてもおいしかったし、BGMに現地ツアースタッフの方がギター1本で心地よい歌声を聞かせてくれとても気持ちよかったです。
午後のイベント”シュノーケリング”も午前中にばっちり(笑)練習したのでこれも最高です!!
サンゴのお魚の共存する姿がとても美しく、夢中でした。
次にハワイに行く機会があるなら必ず参加したいツアーです。すばらしい思い出の1ページになりました!!
We went with a family of 14. The main dish was especially delicious, and everyone was satisfied! The atmosphere was great, and I would love to go again.
家族14名で行きました。メインディッシュが特に美味しくみんなに満足してもらうことができました!雰囲気も良く、また行きたいです。
Had a great time. People are warm and make it easy to enjoy the excursion. Beautiful scene. Unforgettable experience. Recommend very highly.
It was my first activity in Hawaii. You can see the whole view of Waikiki and feel happy to start the trip. Excited activity. Great photography.
I participated in a company trip with my family. I checked the low tide times and aimed to join during the lowest tide (around ±0), but unfortunately, it was still about 30 cm underwater. However, we enjoyed delicious hamburgers on the boat in the beautiful sea, and we were able to see sea turtles up close. It was the best tour where we could experience something out of the ordinary, including snorkeling for the first time with my children. My kids (ages 5 and 11) were thrilled with their first experience.
家族一緒の社員旅行で参加させていただきました。
干潮の時間を調べ、滞在中の一番潮引く時間帯(±0付近)を狙って参加したのですが、残念んがらそれでも30cmは浸かってましたが、綺麗な海に船上でのおいしいハンバーガー、ウミガメも間近で見ることも出来、また、子供と一緒に初めてのシュノーケリングと、非日常を体験することが出来る最高のツアーでした。子供(5歳と11歳)も初めての体験に大喜びでした。
I was really looking forward to swimming with dolphins this time. I woke up at 5 AM, rubbing my sleepy eyes, and had breakfast before heading out for this tour.
Even for someone with diving experience like me, encountering such a large group of dolphins was truly moving.
They were moving in a large group just below the surface. Just when you think they've gone, they come back again.
It was truly a generous experience.
It felt as if they were inviting us.
They showed no signs of fear towards us.
During the cruise, the cheerful staff kept the atmosphere lively with Hawaiian dances and conversations, making it absolutely the best experience.
今回は、イルカと一緒に泳ぐことができるということで、
楽しみにしていました。朝5時に起き眠い目をこすりながら
ブレックファーストしこのツアーに臨みました。
ダイビングの経験がある私にとっても、これほどのイルカの大群に逢えるとは・・・・。
まさに感動ものでした。
水面、割と深くを大群で移動しているんですね。行ったかと思うとまた、戻ってくるんですね
まさに、大サービスです。
まるで、我々を誘っているかのように。
我々をを怖がる様子もなく。
クルーズ中は陽気なスタッフのハワイアンダンスとハワイアントークで盛り上がり
まさに最高でした。
My kids said this was the experience of a lifetime! Water was a little rough so if you suffer from sea sickness I would recommend medication but the overall experience was worth every minute. We did some sort of excursion almost every day and my family loved this!!
Fantastic time. The turtles so amazing! The crew was friendly and knowledgeable. I loved the sail after the snorkel if we would have had extra days I would have definitely done this again!!
I was looking for a half-day optional tour in the morning and found one that seemed just right, so I signed up. Since it was a surprise, I didn't have high expectations, but the sandbar was very beautiful, and I was impressed by the scenery and the clarity of the water. It's a completely different ocean compared to Waikiki Beach. I was also happy to see a sea turtle swimming a little. The boat was a large cruiser, so it didn't rock as much as I expected, and I didn't get seasick. The staff were cheerful, and it was a fun tour. I didn't go snorkeling this time, but if I participate again, I would like to experience snorkeling for a bit longer. Thank you very much.
午前中の半日位のオプショナルツアーを探していたら丁度良さそうなのがあったので申込みました。
お任せだったので特に期待していませんでしたが、サンドバーはとてもキレイで景色と海のキレイさに感動しました。ワイキキの浜辺とは全く違う海です。ウミガメが泳いでいるのも少し見れたので良かったです。船も大きなクルザーだったので思っていたより揺れなかったので酔いませんでした。スタッフの方々も明るくて楽しいツアーでした。今回はシュノーケルはしなかったのですが、もし次参加する時があればもう少し長めでシュノーケルも体験してみたいです。ありがとうございました。
The bus ride from Waikiki took just over an hour, but I had a great time. Since there were many participants this time, we were separated into English and Japanese boats at the harbor. The Japanese boat was, of course, Japanese-only. A young Japanese female staff member clearly explained various instructions and information. At the sandbar, the staff took photos of us in various poses, which made me very satisfied. We practiced snorkeling, but there were no fish here...
After enjoying about an hour at the sandbar, we had lunch. I was lured back to the boat early by the delicious smell of grilled hamburger patties. The burger had a juicy meat patty and was delicious. I will never forget the taste of lunch on the boat while drinking beer.
We moved to a different location for snorkeling. There were many fish near the coral reef cliffs. And among them, a sea turtle was swimming. I’ve snorkeled in Hawaii several times, but this was the first time I encountered a sea turtle so closely. It swam right under my belly and into the coral reef. It became the best memory! ♪
ワイキキからは1時間余りというバスでの移動でしたがとっても楽しめました。
今回は参加人数が多かったということもあってハーバーから出航時には英語船と日本語船と分かれていました。日本語船は当然ながら日本語オンリーです。日本人の若い女性スタッフさんがいろいろな注意事項や説明などもわかりやすく教えて下さいました。サンドバーではスタッフさんがいろんなポーズで写真を撮って下さって大満足でした。
シュノーケルの練習もしましたがここには魚はいません・・・
1時間ほどサンドバーで楽しんだ後にランチ。。
ハンバーガーのパテを焼くいいにおいに誘われて早々と船に戻ってきてしまいました。
ジューシーなハンバーグといった感じのお肉のバーガー、美味しかったです。
ビールを飲みながらの船上ランチの味は忘れられません。
場所を変えてのシュノーケリング。
珊瑚礁の崖のところにはたくさんの魚たちがいました。
そしてその中をウミガメが泳いでいたのです。何度かハワイでのシュノーケルをしましたが
ウミガメとこんなに近くで遭遇したのは初めてです。私のお腹の下を通って珊瑚礁の中に入っていきました。
最高の思い出になりました♪
The views were outstanding. The food was very good, and the entertainment was excellent. I would highly recommend this cruise to anyone traveling to this location.
This was a fun and relaxing way to spend an evening.
My friends and I had a fun and relaxing time on calt. Bobs snorkel cryise. The view was magical. The staff was top notch! I would definitley do this again when I come back to Hawaii. Thanks everyone for such A great time!
Shannon
Great catamaran sail from the Hilton Hawaiian Village. We swam with sea turtles and saw dolphins on the cruise back to the hotel. Great crew. Lunch was just o/k.
We were met by a very cheerful person and the Lei's were beautiful. She took us to the baggage area and continued to tell us about the island and provide suggestions on what to do. Awesome way to start our vacation.
Mahalo for the wonderful review, Mark!!! We hope you'll remember your lei greeting when you think of Hawaii!
This was my second time participating.
It was his first time.
As soon as we left the port, we encountered a pod of dolphins, and thanks to the staff's perfect timing, we jumped into the water!
There were so many dolphins within reach.
During my first time, I was too excited to listen, but this time I made an effort to hear the dolphins' voices.
I could clearly hear them, and it gave me goosebumps!
While snorkeling, we saw turtles multiple times and swam together at a distance that felt almost too close.
The staff were all high-energy and really made the experience enjoyable!
He also had a great time and was very satisfied.
今回2度目の参加をしました。
彼は初めてでした。
港を出てすぐにイルカの群れに会い、スタッフの方の最高のタイミングで海にin☆
手が届きそうな距離にたくさんのイルカ♡
1度目はテンションが上がりすぎて聞けなかった、イルカの声を聞こうと頑張りました。
はっきりと声が聞こえ鳥肌がたちました♡
シュノーケリングでは何度もカメが現れ、ぶつかりそうな距離で一緒に泳ぎました。
スタッフの方もみんなハイテンションで盛り上げてくれ、とっても楽しかったです!
彼も楽しかった〜と大満足でした。
Aloha!
Thank you for re-enrolling! How was the healing class with Teacher Iruka?
Please join us again when you come to Hawaii.
We look forward to seeing you!
Mahalo!
Aloha!
この度は再入学頂きましてありがとうございました!イルカ先生の癒しの授業はいかがでしたでしょうか!?
またハワイにお越しの際には是非ご参加下さい。
お待ちしております。
Mahalo!
Best tour of the trip this time . Walk to the manoa waterfalls, rainy and muddy . Full of fun! Remember to bring the insects repellent. Walking sticks from the tour company really help a lot!
This tour was above and beyond what we hope it would be. We saw a scene being filmed right away! The access to locations was impressive. The knowledge of the tour guides could not be better. Take this tour!!
I finally experienced ziplining!
We went by rental car without any shuttle service.
The location was easy to find. Everything on-site was in English, so there were moments of confusion (laughs), but it all worked out! The staff were bright, kind, and reliable, which made up for it! The scenery is truly amazing. There’s also a bit of an obstacle course that takes about three hours. If you're not afraid of heights, you'll be fine.
You can definitely enjoy nature to the fullest!
念願のジップライン体験してきました!
私達は送迎なしで レンタカーで行きました。
場所もわかりやすかったですよ。現地は全て英語なので なんだかさっぱり(笑)な事もありますが
なんとかなります!そしてそれをカバーするくらい
スタッフは明るく優しく頼もしい!景色も本当に最高です。3時間位でアスレチックの部分も少しあり。高所恐怖症でなければ大丈夫です。
自然を満喫できること間違いなし!です!
Great place to zip line...Staff was great. We had tour guides Sage, Danny and Asia. Awesome people and very friendly, the learned our names from just the first zip line. I wouldn't book through Veltra (sorry they were nice) however Climb Works has a greater military discount; 25% trumps 10% any day, wish I knew that. It was a great adventure overall! I would do it again.
This was the final activity of our week in Oahu for our 10yr anniversary and WOW!! Talk about ending with a bang. The views were awesome, the pilot was a nice guy and the ride was smooth. For me the best part was the view of pearl harbor, we went and visited the Arizona Memorial earlier that week but to see the aerial view was simply stunning, the emotions were ones that will never be forgotten, thanks to Makani Kai Helicopter Tours.
Daniel, thank you very much for your great review. I'm happy that you so thoroughly enjoyed your tour. Come back sometime and try our Doors Off tour...it's a gas.
We did this on the morning of our anniversary, what a way to start off the day!! Flying through the air all your worries just melt away, the feeling is one you cant describe but have to feel for yourself. Would do again without hesitation. Thank you to Hawaiian Parasail for giving our 10yr anniversary a start to remember!
We stayed in Oahu for our 10yr anniversary and this was attended the night of our very anniversary and all I can say is that the Luau was amazing. When everyone celebrating and anniversary was asked to go on stage, given flowers, torches came out and they shut off the lights and had the couples dance under the stars, it made our night. We could not have asked for a better experience. We had a great time, the staff was amazing and the event was more awesome than I could have ever anticipated. Highly recommend.
The sunset cruise we set up on the final day of our trip was wonderful. It was a perfect way to wrap up our journey. Watching the scenery while reminiscing about our travels under the sunset was the best. There were a few spots with higher waves, but I think most people would be fine and not get seasick. I would definitely want to do this again.
8日目の最終日にセットアップしたサンセットクルーズ
旅の締めくくりにとてもいいクルーズです。
夕日をあびて旅を回想しながらゆっくり景色を眺めるの最高です。
ちょっと波が高いところもあるけれど、普通の人なら船酔いとかは大丈夫と思います。
これはまた乗りたいです。
