Oahu
We participated in a parasailing tour as a family of four, and it was really great. Since we stayed at the Hilton Hawaiian Village, we walked there. We arrived early, but it seemed like there was enough time even if we were cutting it close.
Our fellow participants included a three-generation Chinese American family, two women from Australia, a couple from the mainland U.S., and one local Hawaiian man, with no Japanese participants. The explanations were all in English, but there were no problems at all. The fellow participants and the guide were also very entertaining, which made it really enjoyable.
It was my first time parasailing, and I was a bit nervous, but since we ascended slowly, it wasn't scary at all, and I was able to enjoy a graceful tour above Hawaii. As mentioned in the reviews, there was a $20 bill at the boat's exit, which felt like a tip expectation, but none of the participants paid it, and the staff didn't seem to mind at all; the atmosphere was very cheerful.
家族四人でパラセーリングツアーに参加しましたが、とてもよかったです。
ホテルはヒルトンハワイアンビレッジでしたので徒歩で行きました。早めについたのですが、
時間はぎりぎりでも大丈夫なようでした。
同乗者は、中国系アメリカ人三世代、オーストラリアからの女性二人組、アメリカ本土からのカップルとハワイ現地の男性一人で日本人はいません。すべて英語での説明ですが、全然問題なく、また同乗者、ガイドの方も楽しませてくれて、本当によかったです。
パラセーリングは初めてで少し緊張しましたが、ゆっくりと上昇するので、全然怖くなく、優雅にハワイ上空の遊覧を楽しむことができませんでした。
口コミに書いてありましたが、船の出口$20紙幣のみ挟んであり、$20のチップを支払うような感じでしたが、同乗者は誰も払いませんでしたし、スタッフの方も全然関係なく、にこやかな雰囲気でした。
I experienced 150 meters.
It was canceled the day before due to strong winds, but...
When I actually experienced it, it was amazing.
I'm really glad I did it this time.
You can't understand this view unless you've experienced it; it's hard to explain.
You might think 150 meters is high, but...
I'm glad it was 150 meters.
They also take photos for you!
You can decide whether to buy them after seeing the pictures.
I'm glad I did it.
150メートルを体験してきました。
前日は強風の為中止になりましたが…
いざ体験するとサイコーでした。
今回体験して本当に良かったです。
この景色は体験した人でないとわかりませんね、説明出来ません。
150メートルと聞くと高いと思うかもしれませんが…
150メートルにして良かったです。
写真も撮ってくれますよ〜
買うか買わないかは写真を見てから決めれます。
やって良かったです。
Since it was a half-day course, I thought it might be a bit lacking, but I was fortunate to have kind lectures and even meet a sea turtle "Little Buddy," making it a very satisfying and exciting tour. The interactions with Mr. Dan during the transportation were enjoyable, and my nice partnership with Chieko-san also made me feel happy. Mahalo!!!
半日コースだったので少し物足りないかな?との思いで参加しましたが、親切なレクチャーとウミガメの”リトル・バディ”にも出会える幸運にも恵まれ、大満足・興奮のツアーでした。送迎中のダン先生とのやり取りも楽しく、ちえこさんとのナイスなパートナー関係にこちらも幸せな気分にさせて頂きました。マハロ~!!!
We are very happy to hear that you enjoyed the Hanauma Bay snorkeling tour! On that day, our little buddy, who usually stays out in the ocean, came to play inside and swam with everyone, which was so much fun. I hope you were able to download the photos without any issues. Please come back and visit us again when you're in Hawaii. Also, at Blue Hawaii Divers, we offer experience diving at Hanauma Bay, so if you're interested, we highly recommend it. Thank you! Mahalo!!
ハナウマ湾シュノーケリングツアーを満喫していただけた様で、私達もとても嬉しいです!!あの日はいつもは沖の方にいるリトルバディがインサイドに遊びに来てくれていて、皆さんと一緒に泳いでくれてとても楽しかったですね。お写真も無事ダウンロードしていただけたかと思います。またハワイにお越しの際には皆さんで遊びに来てくださいね。それとブルーハワイダイバースではハナウマ湾での体験ダイビングも開催していますので、もし良かったらこちらもオススメです。ありがとうございました。Mahalo!!
My daughter and a friend decided to stay in Oahu over spring break instead of coming home. They had planned bus trips for Hanauma Bay as well as North Shore during the week. After having a horrible time with the bus schedules and waiting to get to their destinations, I decided to get them tickets for the shuttle. So glad I did! They had a really good time, hassle free of buses and hotel pick up and drop off was perfect for them. The trip to the bay made their spring break! So glad I found this site, and we will use them again when we visit her over Thanksgiving this year!
I was looking forward to whale watching! I was worried about whether I would actually see a whale, but I was able to see them properly. I saw a mother and calf whale.
After that, a few more showed up, but they were quite far away, just showing a bit of their bodies above the surface, and there wasn't the big splash I was hoping for. However, the scenery was wonderful, and I enjoyed the cruise, so I was very satisfied.
I want to see a whale make a big splash someday, so if I have the opportunity to go to Hawaii, I definitely want to participate again.
楽しみにしていたホエールウォッチング!クジラが実際に見られるか不安でしたがちゃんと見ることできました。
親子クジラ見えました。
その後も何頭か姿を見せてくれましたが、距離的には遠く水面から少し胴体を出すくらいで、期待していた胴体を水面にザッパーンとかはありませんでした。
ですが、景色も素晴らしかったしクルーズとしても楽しめたので大満足でした。
いつかザッパーンするクジラが見たいのでハワイに行く機会があったら是非また参加したいと思います。
Thank you very much for boarding the Star of Honolulu. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed your experience. We look forward to welcoming you again.

I experienced parasailing for the first time, and it was so enjoyable that I highly recommend it! I wasn't scared at all, but one of the male participants in a couple was too scared to go, so the woman ended up going alone. I ended up riding with her instead of that man, and I got to experience it twice... I am very satisfied!
初めてパラセイリングを体験してみて、とっても気持ちよかったのでめちゃくちゃオススメです!私は全く怖くなかったですが、他の参加者のカップルの男性の方が怖がってやらないことになり、女性は一人でやることになってました。その男性の代わりに私が一緒にライドすることになり、2回も体験できて、、、私は大満足です!
It was an AWSOME adventure!! The guide was excellent!!
Thank you so much for taking the time to review your experience with us. We are happy to hear you enjoyed both the ride and the guide. We hope to see you again soon. Mahalo, Lilia
Took a group of friends on April 16 2016!!! It was so much fun can't wait to go again
The pickup was on time in front of the Duke Kahanamoku statue. Although it was supposed to be a colorful trolley, it was actually a regular van.
Once all the participants for the same time slot gathered and the previous group returned, we boarded the boat. There were four other groups besides us, and we were the only Japanese, so I was a bit worried about the language barrier, but the pilot spoke enough basic Japanese for the activities, so it was fine.
150 meters was higher than I imagined! I tried not to look straight down and enjoyed the panoramic view of Waikiki. It was thrilling and refreshing. The boat rocked quite a bit, and I got a little seasick while waiting for my turn. If you're prone to motion sickness, it's essential to bring motion sickness medication.
They ask if you want to have photos taken for $30 right before you fly. I wanted photos from the air, so I requested it. There were a few blurry photos, but they took dozens before we took off, and the landing part was recorded as a video, so I felt it was worth it. (They give you a CD-R after it's done.) If you're planning to request photos, it's a good idea to bring $30 plus cash for tips. (There are two pilots on the boat.) You can just store your belongings in the storage space under the seats, so it's best not to bring valuables and only take the essentials.
On the way back, we boarded the van again, and the driver asked for the hotel name and dropped us off right in front of it.
It became a great memory! I had a lot of fun.
ピックアップはデュークカハナモク像の前で時間通りに迎えに来てくれました。
カラフルなトローリーでお迎えとありましたが実際は普通のバンでした。
同じ時間帯の参加者が揃い、前の時間帯の船が戻って来ると船に乗り込みます。船内は私たち以外に4組いて、日本人は私たちだけだったので言葉が分かるか不安でしたが操縦士さんはアクティビティに必要な最低限の日本語は話してくれたので大丈夫でした。
150メートル、想像以上に高かったです!!
真下はなるべく見ないようにして一望できるワイキキの景色を楽しみました。
スリル満点で爽快でした。
船はかなり揺れるので自分の順番が来るまでにちょっと船酔いしてしまいました。酔いやすい方は酔い止め必須です。
30ドルで写真の撮影を頼むか飛ぶ直前に聞かれます。上空での写真がほしかったのでお願いしました。ボケている写真も数枚ありましたが飛ぶ前から何十枚か撮ってくれていたし最後の着水の部分は動画になっていて買って良かったなと思いました。(終わったらCDーRで渡してくれます。)
撮影を頼む方は30ドルとチップ分の現金を持っていくといいですね。(船には二人の操縦士さんが乗り込みます。)荷物は船の座る部分の下の収納スペースに置いておくだけなので貴重品などは持って行かず必要最低限のものだけにしたほうがいいです。
帰りはまたバンに乗り込みドライバーさんにホテル名を聞かれホテルの目の前で降ろしてもらえました。
いい思い出になりました!楽しかったです。
My boyfriend and I were in Hawaii last week with friends and this was one of the highlights of our trip! We stayed at Sheraton Waikiki so this catamaran was an easy walk right next door along the beach. They take you out about 15 mins into the ocean where we snorkeled and saw 300lb sea turtles that swim right next to you! After snorkeling grab a spot on the nets and you're in for a fun ride over some waves! The staff is fun and friendly as well!
My wife and I decided to go whale watching and the first time out we did not see any whales. However, they have a guarantee so we went out a second time a few days later and saw lots of whales. It was fun and exciting. It was really enjoyable and the cruise back to Honolulu was relaxing. I would recommend this to anyone and I would definitely do this whale watching cruise again.
Had a lots of fun and a good activity to see the sunset
I was satisfied with the parasailing itself (*^^*). However, the shuttle was a trolley without windows, and the driving was too rough!
I was scared that I might fly out during the turns! My husband and I could still laugh about it, saying it felt very American (lol), but other guests had their large luggage blown away, so I think if there were small children, they would definitely feel uncomfortable.
I really think this should be pointed out as it was terrible. It was also tough to wait about 30 minutes after arriving at the dock. I bought some photos, but they were mostly close-ups, and the ones showing us flying high didn’t really capture that well, plus they didn’t look very good, so I felt it was expensive (>_<).
パラセーリング自体は満足しました(*^^*)
しかし、送迎が窓ガラスが無いトロリーだったのですが運転荒すぎです!
カーブの時なんて飛んでいっちゃうかと怖かったです!
私たち夫婦は、アメリカンな感じだね(笑)とまだ笑えましたが
他のお客さんの大きな荷物が吹っ飛んでたので
小さなお子様がいたりしたら絶対嫌に感じると思います。
本当に酷いので指摘すべきだと思います。
船着場に着いてから30分くらい待たされたのも辛かったです。
写真も買いましたが アップの写真ばっかで
高く飛んでるのがわからない写真だけで
写りもあまり良くなく高く感じました(>_<)
The shuttle bus picked us up at our accommodation, Hyatt Regency Waikiki, so the whole family participated. We signed up thinking, "Half a day on a boat sounds nice," but it was amazing!!
After leaving the harbor, we headed to the "sandbar," about 15 minutes offshore, with white sand (from coral) and a water depth of around 20 cm, covering an area of about 200 square meters. Since it's located offshore, it was a wonderful and unique experience to "walk on the sea," and our family was very satisfied!
We relaxed for about an hour before returning to the boat for a hamburger lunch while moving to the snorkeling point. During that time, we spotted a turtle—lucky us! And then, a seal?! It seems it got lost in this coral lagoon (according to YUKIKO, a Japanese staff member who has been there for 8 years, this was her first time seeing one). While snorkeling, we enjoyed the view of the mountains where Jurassic Park was filmed on our left. With life jackets provided, it was easy and comfortable. Unlike the shallow sandbar we visited earlier, the snorkeling point had a coral reef with a depth of about 5 to 10 meters surrounding an area of about 200 meters. Because of that depth, we were lucky to spot another turtle here!
It was a more enjoyable time than we expected. I highly recommend it to everyone!
送迎バスが、宿泊のハイアットリージェンシーワイキキに当たっれいたので、家族で参加。
「半日、船でゆっくりでいいかな」くらいで申し込んだのですが、最高でした!!
港を出て、15分ほど沖の「サンドバー」、水深20cm程の白砂(サンゴから)の200m四方ほど、海岸から沖にあるので、「海の上を歩く」という不思議な素敵な体験、家族して満足!
1時間ほどゆっくりして船にもどり、ハンバーガーの昼食をとりながら、シュノーケリングポイントへ移動。その間に、亀発見、ラッキー!さらにアザラシ?!どうもこのサンゴのラグーンに迷い込んだようです(日本人スタッフのYUKIKOさんの8年いて初めてとのこと)。左手にジュラシックパーク撮影の山を見ながら、シュノーケリング。ライフジャケットがあるので、楽ちん。周囲に浅瀬が取り巻く先ほどの「サンドバー」とへ違い、シュノーケリングポイントの周囲200mほどのサンゴ群の外周は5~10m深さ。その深さゆえ、ラッキーにもここでも「亀」発見!
期待以上に楽しい時間でした。ぜひ皆さん、どうぞ。
I had been looking forward to swimming with dolphins for a long time! I was really anxious until I could actually meet them, but after about an hour from Waikiki and 45 minutes by boat, we finally found the dolphins!
My husband was snorkeling for the first time, so he was a bit nervous, but the staff provided thorough explanations, which made us feel at ease. However, once we spotted the dolphins, it was "Jump in!" from the boat, so I jumped in without having time to mentally prepare myself (laughs).
When I saw the pod of dolphins underwater, I was truly excited!! They weren't very close, so it didn't feel like we were swimming together, but I was really happy to see wild dolphins.
Everyone was very friendly, and we had a great time. Since we left early at 6 AM and didn't eat much for breakfast, I was a bit disappointed that I only had one cheeseburger for lunch. I would have liked a bit more volume for lunch! But the cheeseburger was delicious.
I was also really happy to swim with sea turtles. The visibility that day was great, and I was moved by how well we could see the fish and dolphins.
At the end, we all danced the hula, and it became my best memory of the trip to Hawaii!
I told my family that the dolphin tour was amazing, and I’m thinking of participating with them next time! Thank you so much!
イルカと泳げるの⁇ってずっと楽しみにしていました(=´∀`)人(´∀`=)
本当に会えるまで不安でいっぱいでしたが
ワイキキから1時間、船で45分くらい?
して、ついにイルカを見つけました(>_<)
旦那さんはシュノーケル初めてだったので
不安でしたが丁寧に説明して頂けるので安心です。
しかしイルカを見つけたら船から
『飛び込めー!』なので心の準備出来ないまま勢いで飛び込みました(笑)
海の中でイルカの群れを見たときは
本当に興奮しました!!
あまり近くでは無かったので
一緒に泳いだという感じではありませんが
野生のイルカを見れるのはとても嬉しかったです。
皆さんとても気さくで楽しく過ごせました。
朝が6時と早いので朝ごはんあまり食べずに行ったのでお昼のチーズバーガー1つだけだったのが少し残念でした(>_<)
もう少しお昼にボリュームがほしいです!
でもチーズバーガーは美味しかったです。
ウミガメとも泳げたのが凄く嬉しかったです。
その日は透明度が良かったのか
魚もイルカもよく見えて感動しました。
さいごは皆さんでフラダンス踊ったり
ハワイ旅行で1番の思い出になりました!
家族にも イルカのツアー凄く良かった!と伝え、今度家族でも参加したいなーと思ってます(*^^*)
本当にありがとうございました(>_<)
Thank you for participating! It seems you were lucky to have a day with exceptional visibility! We sincerely look forward to your next participation! Mahalo!
この度はご参加頂きありがとうございました!透明度抜群の日だったみたいでラッキーでしたね!またのご参加を心よりお待ちしております!Mahalo!
We had a great driver. He was very pleasant and informative. We learned a lot. We particularly enjoyed the Bowfin submarine. We had kids ages 8 and 10. It was very interesting. The movie about the history of Pearl Harbor very moving. The USS Mossouri was interesting but made tour a bit long for the kids. I would recommend the shorter tour of heading home after the Arizona Memorial if you have young kids. Submarine was highlight for us for the day.
We had a great time out with a fabulous, fun and friendly crew. We loved being on this particular boat. You can stand really close to the edge or laze out in the middle over the netting. Oh and the whales were entertaining too. We even saw one breech! Will definitely do this again.
The sandbar looked beautiful. I also went snorkeling, but it felt crowded and murky, like swimming with a group of people, so I couldn't see anything. If you're going to snorkel, I feel like another plan might be better. Overall, I enjoyed the sandbar, and the tour guide was very entertaining, making it a fun tour.
サンドバーは綺麗に見えました。
シュノーケリングもしたのですが、シュノーケリング部隊といったスイミーみたいな感じで泳ぐ感じなので、混雑しており水も濁り何も見えませんでした。
シュノーケリングをするなら、別のプランのほうがいいように感じました。
総合的には、サンドバーは満喫できたことと、ツアーのお姉さんがとても面白かったので楽しいツアーでした。
I am sure I have done this, but will do it again"our visit to Pearl Harbor, was thought provoking,informative, sad, educational and enlightening. The story of Pearl Harbor is a tragic era in our modern history. As an Australian, I empathise with the Americans for the way their service people and civilians were attacked, violated and killed at that time in history. The war in the Pacific involved a list of countries. My place of work, is named after a Hospital Ship "Centaur "..this boat belonged to the Australian fleet. It was bombed off the coast of Queensland, north of Brisbane.....it had the flag stipulating its identity as a Hospital Ship, but was still attacked by a Japanese submarine. Many innocent people lost their lives on that day also, same as in Pearl Harbor. Our freer was sensational, his knowledge and wit were unbelievable..
It took quite a while to see dolphins, as we were on the boat for over an hour without spotting any. As a result, everyone on the boat was fast asleep. I was glad we finally got to see the dolphins, but it was very disappointing that we couldn't enjoy the marine sports or the time with the sea turtles that we were looking forward to. Also, I read that we would be able to have malasadas, but they weren't available this time. I wonder if it's a limited-time offer... Overall, it was fun, and I would like to participate again. However, I realized that whether you can enjoy it or not depends on luck since you're dealing with wild dolphins.
なかなかイルカがいなくて、イルカと出会うまで1時間以上も船に揺られていました。おかげで 船の上ではみんな爆睡。ようやくイルカは見れたので良かったですが、楽しみにしていた、マリンスポーツの時間や、海ガメの時間を取ることが出来ずとても残念でした。 それと、書き込みでは マラサダを頂けるとあったのですが、今回はありませんでした。期間限定なのかな、、、
総合的には 楽しかったのでまた参加したいと思います。ただ、楽しめるかどうかは、自然のイルカ相手なので運次第だと実感しました。
Thank you for participating this time. We sincerely apologize for not being able to spend time with the sea turtles and marine sports. Regarding the malasada, we discontinued it a few years ago due to the high possibility of customers getting seasick. We look forward to your next participation. Mahalo!
この度はご参加いただきありがとうございました。 ウミガメやマリンスポーツにお時間を取ることが出来ず、大変申し訳ありません。 マラサダにつきましては、お客様が船で酔われる可能性が高くなってしまったので数年前に廃止させていただきました。 次回のご参加を心よりお待ちしております。 Mahalo!
Hiking in the rainforest was refreshing. Our guide, Terry, provided explanations in English (making it easy to understand even for those who are not good at English), so I was able to enjoy and learn at the same time.
熱帯雨林の中をハイキング、リフレッシュ出来ました。ガイドのテリーさんが、英語で説明(英語が苦手な人にも分かるように)をしながら案内してくれるので、学びながら楽しめました。
It was my first time parasailing.
Upon arrival, I was asked to read a contract in Japanese in the car, and after reading it, I signed it.
The contract contained content that would evoke a sense of fear, which you wouldn't typically see in Japan. (laughs)
After checking in, I waited, but even after the scheduled time, I wasn't called.
I was informed that they were doing maintenance because something was caught on the boat.
Since it was my first time, my sense of fear increased even more...
That said, I had a good impression that they were properly ensuring safety.
After about a 30-minute delay, we finally got ready to set sail!
There were two Japanese couples, including myself, and the rest were international guests.
There were no Japanese staff, but one person spoke a little Japanese, and the other staff members explained things clearly with gestures.
The staff did a great job of creating a lively atmosphere, so when I actually took off, my initial fear completely disappeared.
In the air, it was stable without much shaking, and I could see Diamond Head, the vast ocean, and the cityscape all at once.
I put my phone in a waterproof bag and was able to take many photos from above.
There is also a service where the staff will take photos for $30, which included videos and made for a great keepsake.
Perhaps because I chose the highest course at 150 meters, I experienced the "sea splash" twice, as mentioned in others' experiences, and it felt like they extended the flight time a bit longer, so choosing 150 meters was definitely the right choice.
Even though it was high, it wasn't scary at all; I felt like I could have gone even higher, so I highly recommend the 150 meters.
初めてのパラセイルでした。
迎えの際の車内で日本語の契約書を読むように言われ、読んだら署名をします。
契約書は、日本ではまず見ないであろう恐怖感を煽る内容です。(笑)
受付後、待機していたが予定時刻を過ぎても呼ばれず。
船の紐か何かがひっかっかているので整備中とのこと。
初めてということもあり、さらに恐怖感が増す…。
とはいえ、きちんと安全を整えてくれているという面で好印象。
30分程の遅れでやっと準備が整い、いざ出港!
自分を含め日本人カップル2組とあとは海外の方でした。
スタッフに日本人はいませんが、片言の日本語を話せる方が一人いて、
ほかのスタッフさんもわかりやすくジェスチャーしながら説明してくれます。
スタッフさんが上手く場を盛り上げてくださるので、実際に飛んでみると最初の恐怖感は全くなくなっていました。
上空で大きく揺れることなく安定しており、ダイヤモンドヘッドや一面の海、街の景色が一望できます。
携帯を防水袋に入れ、上空からたくさんの写真を撮ることができました。
30ドルでスタッフさんが写真を撮影してくれるサービスもあります。動画も入っていていい記念になりました。
150メートルの一番高いコースを選んでいたからか、皆さんの体験談にもある海ポチャも2回してくださり、飛行時間も長めに取ってくださっていたように感じ、150メートルにして正解でした。
高いからといって怖いこともなく、もっと高くてもいいと感じるくらいだったので150メートルおすすめです。
My 4-year-old daughter and husband participated. After the event, I heard that the water was dirty, and my daughter was uncomfortable, so she was mostly being held. My mother (my daughter's grandmother) and I could watch from a bit farther away, but there were so many mosquitoes that I got bitten over ten times while taking videos and photos. It seems that my daughter enjoyed feeding the birds at the place we went to afterward, which was more fun than playing with the dolphins.
4才の娘と夫が参加しました。参加後に聞いたところ、水が汚かったそうで、娘が嫌がりほぼだっこの状態だったそうです。私と母(4才の娘のおばあちゃん)は、少し遠くの場所から観覧できるのですが、蚊がとても多く、ビデオ&写真を撮っている間、10ヶ所以上刺されてしまいました。イルカと遊ぶより、その後に行った、鳥が放し飼いになっているところのほうが、えさをあげたりして楽しかったみたいです。
This is the 2nd time I've taken this and you see different things each time, great staff!
On the last day of my trip, I joined this tour. The meeting time was early in the morning, and I was sleepy, but the guide worked hard to lift everyone's spirits on the bus to the port. They explained the precautions very carefully, so I was able to enjoy the experience without any worries.
We were blessed with good weather on the day, and the boat was stable, so no one got seasick. Once we boarded the boat, we all offered prayers to see dolphins and finally released plumeria flowers into the sea. We tried to spot dolphins three times and were able to see them twice! When we spotted them, we jumped in right away and swam quickly to where the dolphins were. It was quite strenuous, and we swam a considerable distance, so I was exhausted. It might be tough for small children to keep up.
I was disappointed that we spent so much time searching for dolphins that we couldn't do other activities, but I want to try again next time to see sea turtles. After getting out of the water, my body was cold, but they served warm tea, which was a wonderful gesture.
Since it gets quite chilly, I think it's a good idea to bring towels, T-shirts, and something to wear over your clothes. At the end, we all danced the hula, which created a lovely memory. On the way back, we were given cheeseburgers, drinks, and snacks, and the cheeseburger was really delicious!
It was a tour that brought smiles to everyone, and I definitely want to participate again!
旅行最終日にこちらのツアーに参加しました。集合時間は朝が早く眠かったですが、港までのバスの中ではガイドさんがみんなのテンションをあげようと盛り上げてくれました^ ^注意事項などもとても丁寧に説明してもらったので何の不安もなく楽しめました(*^_^*)
当日は天候にも恵まれ船の揺れも少なく船酔いしている方はいませんでした。船に乗船すると、イルカを見れるようみんなで祈りを捧げ、最後にプルメリアの花を海に流しました^ ^
イルカは三回トライしましたが、二回見ることが出来ました★見つけたらすぐに飛び込み、急いでイルカの所まで泳ぎます。かなりハードで、結構な距離を泳いだのでクタクタでした。小さいお子様はついていくのに大変かもしれませんm(_ _)m
イルカ探しに時間を使ってしまい、他のアクティビティが出来なかった事が残念でしたが次回リベンジしてウミガメなど見たいです(^-^)海から上がると体が冷えて寒かったのですが、温かいお茶が配られ心遣いがとても素晴らしかったです^ - ^
かなり冷えるのでタオルやTシャツや羽織りものなど持参した方が良いかと思います。最後にみんなでフラダンスを踊りとても良い思い出になりました^ ^帰りにチーズバーガーと飲み物とスナックが配られましたが、チーズバーガーとっても美味しかったです★
みんなか笑顔になれるツアーでした、是非また参加したいと思います(*^^*)
Thank you for participating this time. We hope that when you join us next time, you will definitely experience snorkeling and marine activities with the sea turtles.
この度はご参加頂きましてありがとうございました。
次回ご参加頂く時にはウミガメたちとのシュノーケルやマリンアクティビティを是非ご体験いただきたいと思います。
It was my first time paragliding, and I had so much fun that I wished I could have flown longer.
First of all, we only understood English at a middle school level and could hardly speak it. Everyone else in the group was American, but they were all nice people, which made it easy for us to complete the activity without any anxiety.
We gathered at the designated spot, got into a dark blue Mercedes van, and headed to the port. After checking in, we boarded the boat, received explanations in English, and were given a Japanese instruction manual to read. The crew was cheerful, and they offered a DVD with photos for $30.
Finally, the paragliding began. As we took off from the deck, we soared higher and higher, and the boat looked like a grain of rice. We had a panoramic view that included Diamond Head, the streets of Waikiki, and the beach. It was over in a flash, but I felt that doing it in Waikiki had a significant meaning.
On the way back, we tipped the crew, and the driver took us back to the hotel.
I'm really glad I did it. It seems there are many other activities available, so I’m feeling interested in trying more.
パラセイリング自体初めてだったのですが、もっと長い間飛んでいたいと思ったぐらい楽しかったです。
まず私達は中学生レベルの英語しかわからない上、喋ることはほとんどできません。笑
集合から解散まで私達以外、全員アメリカ人だったのですがみんないい人達で不安なくアクティビティを終えることができました。
まず、指定の場所で集合し紺色のメルセデスのバンに乗り、港まで行きました。受付を済ませ、船に乗り、英語で説明を受け、日本語の説明書を読まされました。乗組員も陽気な方で30ドルで写真を焼いたDVDもつけてくれるとの事です。
いよいよ、パラセイリング開始、デッキから飛び立つと、どんどん高い所まで行き船も米粒程に見え、ダイヤモンドヘッドからワイキキの街並みやビーチを含め、大パノラマで一望することができました。
あっと言う間でしたが、ワイキキでやる事に大きな意味があったように感じます。
帰りは乗組員にチップを渡し、ドライバーはホテルまで送迎してくれました。
本当にやってよかったです。
ほかにもたくさんアクティビティがあるみたいですので、興味も出てきました。
A real Aloha spirit was experience on this cruise. My family enjoyed it very much.
Food was good and the service was excellent!!!
On the day of the tour, it was cold on the boat, possibly due to the rain and wind. It was advertised as a BBQ, but in reality, it was grilled hamburgers. I wish they had just called it hamburgers; I thought we would be grilling the meat ourselves. The snorkeling was also cold, and everyone was shivering. At times like this, it would be nice if they provided wetsuits. I no longer want to participate in this tour.
当日は雨と風あったせいか船上でも寒かった。
それとBBQと書いてあったが実際には網焼きされたハンバーガーだった。
そらならハンバーガーって書いて欲しい、お肉を自分達が焼くのかと思ってしまう。
シュノーケリングも寒くてみんな震えていた。
こんな時はウェットスーツでも用意して欲しい。
もうこのツアーは参加したくないです。
Thank you very much for participating in the tour.
On the day of the tour, due to the rain and wind, I believe you may have felt colder than usual when your body got wet. As you mentioned, wetsuits do provide warmth, but please understand that we do not provide them for the tour you participated in.
Additionally, regarding the BBQ lunch you pointed out, we hope you understand that it was indicated as a BBQ hamburger on the tour page.
Thank you very much for your valuable feedback during your busy schedule.

I came back again this year. The scenery on this cruise was amazing. Unfortunately, I didn't see any whales, but I definitely want to plan for next year and participate again.
去年に続き、やってきました。このクルーズ景色はサイコーでした。
残念でしたがホエールは見れませんでした、来年も計画して是非参加したいです。
Thank you very much for joining us again this year. We are very sorry that you were unable to encounter any whales this time. Please do try again next year! All of our staff are looking forward to your next visit!

去年に引き続き、ご参加頂き、誠に有難うございます。
今回はクジラに遭遇できなかったという事で、私共も大変残念に思います。
是非来年またチャレンジして下さい!
皆様のまたのお越しをスタッフ一同、お待ち申し上げております!
スターオブホノルル
Setting off on the cruiser.
About an hour of snorkeling. The sea turtles were super close!!
They were almost too close for comfort. I was exhausted after an hour (laughs).
After that, we went cruising. The champagne was served in regular plastic cups, and they were overflowing!
It was fun. I want to do it again.
クルーザーに乗っていざ出発。
1時間ほどシュノーケル。めっちゃウミガメ近い!!
怖いくらい近かったです。1時間へとへとでした(笑)
そのあと、クルージング。シャンパンが普通のプラコップに大盛りでした!
楽しかった。またやりたいです。
