Oahu
We participated as a family of four. Our 12-year-old and 8-year-old sons rode alone as well. In 1 hour and 15 minutes, we enjoyed a magnificent view and were very satisfied. Along the way, there were changes in the path, and there were some thrilling spots too. It became an unforgettable experience.
At the ranch, there were free-range donkeys and wild peacocks, and it was fun to interact with them.
家族四人で参加しました。12才と8才の息子もひとりで乗りました。1時間15分で、雄大な景色の中を周り大満足。途中、道にも変化があり、少しスリルのあるところもありました。一生忘れられない経験になりました。
牧場には、放し飼いのロバや、野生の孔雀がいて、触れ合いが楽しかったです。
The weather was perfect, making it an ideal day for parasailing. As soon as we set out, the instructions were in English, but there was also a proper Japanese manual available. Since photography was not allowed on the boat, I requested some photos. (I would have appreciated prior information about the use of waterproof cameras and that participants would not be able to take photos simultaneously.)
After waiting in line, it was finally our turn! The view was, of course, amazing and a lot of fun! Those with a fear of heights might find it challenging! While I was distracted by the scenery, there was a signal from the boat via the rope that indicated it was time to take photos. The fee was $30, which I thought was reasonable.
The actual time spent up in the air was just under 5 minutes, but the satisfaction exceeded that. The local staff had some funny moments, creating a friendly atmosphere, so the waiting time was not a burden. I thought about wanting to challenge myself to go even higher next time!
I was very satisfied with the monitor tour and shared the photos and fun stories with my family. If you go to Hawaii, it's definitely worth experiencing at least once!!!
お天気にも恵まれ、最高のパラセイリング日和でした。 沖に出るなり、英語での説明でしたが、きちんと日本語の説明書もありました。船内では写真撮影ができないため、写真を希望しました。(事前に防水カメラの使用可、参加者が同時に体験することで写真撮影不可などの説明がほしかった)
順番待ちをして、いざ出番!眺めはもちろん、かなり楽しいです!高所恐怖症の方は厳しいかもしれませんね! 途中眺めに気をとられていると、船からロープを伝って合図があり、写真を撮るよ!との合図あり。料金は、$30ですが、高くはないかなーと思います。
実際に上がっている時間は5分ないくらいですが、それ以上に満足感があります。 現地スタッフの方も笑わせてくれるポイントがあるので、和気あいあいとしており待っている時間も苦ではないです。 次回はさらに高く挑戦したいと思いました!
モニターツアーに大満足し、家族へ写真と楽しい話で盛り上がりました。
是非、Hawaiiへ行ったら1度は体験する価値ありますよ!!!
I reserved a premium seat, but it felt like there wasn't much difference from the regular seats. In some areas, I felt that the regular seats might have had a better view. (Perhaps this was because our seats were in a corner, viewing from the side of the stage.)
As for the food, it was neither good nor bad.
Since it was nighttime, measures against the cold were necessary. There were no warm dishes or drinks, so it was quite cold, and I couldn't stand it and left midway. (The performers also seemed to be cold.)
I felt that there wasn't anything particularly noteworthy about the show itself. There was quite a bit of time from entry to the food being served (about an hour?), and it also felt like we waited a long time from the food to the start of the show. However, the staff and performers were very friendly, which was a positive aspect.
プレミアムシートにて予約しましたが、
通常の席でも大差は無い様な感じでした。場所によっては
通常席の方が見やすい所もあった様に感じました。
(自分達の席は、隅っこで舞台袖からの鑑賞だったのでその様に
感じたのかも知れません。)
食事については、可もなく不可もなく、と言った所です。
夜ですので、寒さ対策は必要です。
温かい料理や飲み物もなかったのでかなり寒く、我慢できず
途中退場してしまいました;;
(演者のみなさんも寒そうにしていました。)
ショー自体も、特筆すべき点はなかった様に思えました。
入場から料理までの時間が結構あり(小一時間程?)、また、
料理からショーが始まるまでも結構待たされた様に感じました。
しかし、スタッフや演者の方たちも非常に気さくでその点は
良かったかな、と思いました。
I wanted to fly over the crystal-clear blue ocean in Hawaii, so I decided to participate in parasailing this time. The driver for the pickup only spoke English, but they provided us with consent forms in Japanese, so there were no issues at all. The meeting place was easy to find, making it very convenient. We picked up other participants and it was about a 10-minute drive from the city center. We waited for the previous group to return by boat, and finally, it was our turn. Each boat holds about 10 people, and we were the only Japanese participants. (By the way, everyone else was a couple. Haha.) The handsome guys on the boat occasionally spoke a few words in Japanese. There were instructions available in both English and Japanese. Most participants were in just their swimsuits, but if you don't want to get wet, you can let them know, and they will avoid the performance where you get into the water, so some people wore T-shirts. The boat itself rocked more than I had imagined. If you are prone to seasickness, I recommend taking motion sickness medication before participating. For parasailing, you wear a life jacket in turn. When you’re not up in the air, you basically just enjoy the view of the ocean. The moment you take off is very exciting and fun! The time spent up in the air isn’t very long, but since you’re just flying, I think that duration is just right. When landing, they performed a little splash landing, which was also enjoyable. While you’re up there, it can feel a bit boring, but the view is amazing! Also, as it says on the boat, tips are not included.
ハワイの透き通るような青い海の上を飛んでみたい!ということで今回パラセイリングの参加をきめました。送迎のドライバーさんは英語のみですが、同意書なども日本語の用紙を渡されるので特に問題ありません。集合場所もわかりやすくとても楽でした。車でほかの参加者の方をピックアップして街の中心から10分ほどのところでした。前の回の方が船で帰ってくるのを待ち、いよいよ私たちの番。一つの船は大体10名くらいで、日本人は私たちだけでした。(ちなみに私たち以外みんなカップルでした。笑)船のイケメンお兄さんたちは日本語の単語をたまに話してくれます。説明書も英語と日本語の2通りがありました。ほとんどの参加者の方は水着だけの状態になって参加していましたが、濡れたくない場合は言えば海につかるパフォーマンスは避けてくれるそうで、Tシャツを着たままの方もいました。船自体は、想像していたよりも揺れました。酔いやすい方は、酔い止めを飲んでからの参加をおすすめします。パラセイリングは、順番にライフジャケットを着用して行います。自分がやっているとき以外は基本海を眺めてるのみです。飛ぶ瞬間はとてもワクワクで楽しいです!上に上がっている時間自体はそんなに長くないですが、特に飛んでいるだけなのでそれくらいでちょうどよいのかなと思います。降りるときに、お尻あたりが着水するパフォーマンスをしてくれてそれも楽しかったです。上にいる間は少し退屈感もありますが、眺めは最高です!あと、船にも書いてありますがチップは別だそうです。
I was able to see some whales in the distance. There was one staff member who could speak Japanese and they were very kind and helpful. I had a great time.
遠くのほうでなんとかクジラを見ることができました。スタッフも一人だけ日本語を話すことができ親切に対応してもらいました。非常に楽しかったです。
I participated with my 4-year-old son and his dad in November. My son insisted that he wanted to go again, so we repeated the experience. As a result, he is saying he wants to go again. It's been about a year since we participated, but he still wants to go.
11月に4歳の息子とパパで参加しました。
息子がどうしてももう一度行きたいと言うのでリピートしました。
結果・・また行きたいと言っています。
参加してから約一年たちましたがまた行きたいそうです。
Thank you for participating. I'm glad you enjoyed it. We look forward to your next participation!
ご参加頂きましてありがとうございました。お楽しみ頂けて何よりです。またのご参加をお待ちしております!
I was really anxious about whether I could do it since I have a fear of heights, but I signed up at my husband's request. In our group, there was another Japanese couple and three groups of foreigners. The guide didn't understand Japanese, but I think I was able to understand the explanations through gestures and such.
As for the paragliding, I was scared when we were leaving the boat and going up into the air, but once I was floating in the sky, I was able to enjoy the scenery! I also signed up for photos, and even though it was expensive, I think it's definitely worth it!!!
高所恐怖症の私ができるのかめちゃくちゃ不安でしたが、夫の希望で申し込みました。
同じグループには、私たち以外にもう一組日本人カップルと、あとは外国人グループが3組でした。ガイドさんは日本語はわかわからないけど、仕種とかで何となく説明とか理解できたと思います。
肝心のパラセイリングですが、ボートから空へと離れて行くときが怖かったけど、空に浮いたら景色を堪能できる余裕ができました!写真も申し込みましたが、高くてもあれは申込んた方がいいと思います!!!
I participated with my 8-year-old son.
The cool pickup trolley arrived 10 minutes late (which was expected). At this point, my son was getting excited. We had quite a thrilling drive and arrived at Kewalo Bay.
The boarding process for the boat was smooth, and we started with five groups on board. The two instructors provided precise guidance in broken Japanese, and reading the written instructions eased any anxiety.
We wore life jackets and took turns jumping in, while the instructor informed us about the sale of a photo CD for $30. However, since we didn't know what was included, we weren't sure if it was expensive or cheap. We flew with our smartphones in waterproof cases.
Our turn was last, and while watching the others, I was thinking of requesting a dry landing, but we ended up getting splashed in the sea. That said, it was just enough to soak our backsides, which felt oddly pleasant. The weather was clear, and with calm winds, the flight was very comfortable. My 8-year-old son seemed to thoroughly enjoy being above the blue sea and sky. He even waved to everyone on the boat and was smiling the whole time, saying he wanted to do it again as soon as we landed.
When I asked the instructor, he mentioned that each group would fly for 700 feet, but it felt like it was over in no time. On the way back, there was a bit of a delay with other groups, but I chatted with a mom who was there with her daughter in the same grade, so I didn't mind.
The price was cheaper compared to others, and the tour was well-organized, so we were satisfied and created great memories.
Lastly, I have one thing to say to the organizers. The rough driving of the driver on the way to Kewalo Bay was the only and biggest downside. Perhaps due to the delay in pickup, the driver was organizing the participant list while driving and tended to cross lanes. We were made to sign a waiver regarding fatal accidents in the car, but what exactly does that cover? Accidents due to clear negligence on the driver's part are unacceptable.
Since you are carrying customers, I hope you will maintain a focus on safe driving.
8歳の息子と参加しました。
カッコいいピックアップトロリーは10分遅れで到着。(想定内)
この時点で息子はテンションアップ。なかなかスリリングなドライブでケワロ湾へ到着。
到着からボートに乗り込む際もスムーズで5組でボートに乗りスタート。
2人のインストラクターは片言の日本語ながら的確な案内、さらに注意事項など書かれた物を読んだりすることで不安もありませんでした。
ライフジャケットを着用し1組ずつ飛ぶのですがインストラクターの方が写真のCDRの販売の案内をしてくれます。30ドルですが内容が分からないので高いのか安いのか??
私達は防水ケースにスマホを入れてフライトしました。
私達の順番は最後、他の方達の様子を見ていてドライランディング希望しようと思っていましたが海ポチャしてもらいました。
と言っても軽くお尻位まで浸かる程度でなんだか嬉しい感じです。
天気は快晴、風も凪いでいたのでフライトも実に快適。8歳の息子も青い海の上と空をとーっても満喫しているよう。
余裕があるのかボートのみんなに手を降ってみたり終始笑顔で降りた瞬間またやりたいと(;^_^A
インストラクターの方に聞くと1組当たり700フィート走ってくれるとのことでしたが何だかあっという間でした。
帰りは他のグループをまったり少しロスがあったものの同学年の女の子と参加されたママとお話ししたりで気になることもありませんでした。
価格も他者に比べて安くツアーもしっかりされていたので満足で良い思い出ができました。
最後に1つだけ主催者へ。
ケワロ湾へ行く時のドライバーの運転の粗さが唯一で最大の減点でした。
ピックアップが遅れたせいか、参加者の名簿整理など運転しながら行い車線もオーバーしがち。
車内で死亡事故に関する免責など誓約書にサインさせられるのですがどこからどこまでの誓約書なのでしょうか?
運転手の明らかな過失などによる事故などたまりません。
お客様を乗せている以上運転に集中するなど安全運転の姿勢は守っていただきたいです。
It was a morning-only early bird tour. The schedule was very fulfilling with no wasted time, and I was very satisfied with the tour. Even just in the morning, the content was rich. The staff were cheerful, fun, and very kind. Thank you for the enjoyable tour.
午前中のみ早朝プランのツアーでした。スケジュールも大変充実してて無駄の時間が無く、
とても満足いくツアーでした。午前中のみでも内容が濃いです。スタッフの皆様は明るく楽しく対応も親切でした。楽しいツアーありがとうございました。
I used the service on December 29. There was no wind, and the sea was calm, making it a perfect day for the tour. It was a wonderful experience with many sea turtles observed, and my small children, aged 3 and 6, were able to play happily. The tour staff's fun talks and thoughtfulness added to the experience.
However, the air conditioning on the bus going there was too cold, and all the tour guests were uncomfortable. I tried to bring it up to the driver, but as soon as I started talking, he had an attitude that suggested I shouldn't say anything more. What a shame! The temperature control on the return bus was good.
12月29日に利用しました。風はなく、海も凪、最高のツアー日和でした。多くのウミガメが観察できたこと、3歳と6歳の小さな子供も楽しく遊べたこと、ツアースタッフの楽しいトークと心使いなど素晴らしいツアーでした。
ただ、行きのバスのエアコンが寒すぎ、ツアー客全員困っていたので、運転手に訴えようとしましたが、話を始めた途端、それ以上言うなという態度で受け付けてもらえませんでした。残念!帰りのバスは良好な温度コントロールでした。
Stayed in waikki,Booked a trip to shark encounters in north shore! Great service, friendly staff, amazing experience! Thanks
On the day we arrived in Hawaii, we wanted to enjoy a lovely sunset, so our family of four decided to take this cruise. We boarded from the pier right in front of the Hilton, and the kids were able to play on the beach during the waiting time, which made it a stress-free experience. When the sun began to set, we left our shoes before boarding and didn't need to bring much else. The boat was relatively large and had restrooms. There were benches in both a sheltered area to avoid the sun and wind, as well as an outdoor area. They offered light snacks, but it was just chips and cookies. That day, it was just us and one other couple from abroad. Unfortunately, we couldn't see the sunset, and we cruised until the city lights came on, but it was really windy and cold!!! I wore a long-sleeve shirt and a windbreaker, but my feet were bare and got chilly... The boat was rocking, and my 2-year-old got seasick and was in a bad mood. It was quite a long time, so I felt sorry for him. I think the atmosphere and facilities are good, so I recommend this for families with small children during warmer seasons!
ハワイ到着日にサンセットで素敵な雰囲気をと思い家族4人で利用しました。ヒルトンの目の前の桟橋から乗船するため、待ち時間も子どもたちは砂浜で遊ぶなどゆったりとストレスありませんでした。陽が傾きかけたころ、乗船前に靴を預けて裸足で乗る以外は特に持ち物は要りません。比較的大きな船でお手洗いもあります。陽射しや風を避ける壁がついたエリアと外のエリアにベンチがあります。軽食とありますがスナック菓子、クッキー程度です。その日は私たちと他外国人のご夫婦1組だけでした。残念ながらサンセットは見えず、その後街がライトアップするまでクルージングするのですが、何せ風もすごいし寒い!!!長袖にウィンドブレーカーを着ていきましたが、足元は裸足だし冷えました・・・。うねりがあって揺れたこともあり、2歳の子どもは船酔いしてしまい、機嫌も悪く、更に結構時間が長いので可哀想なことをしました。雰囲気設備は良いと思うので、小さなお子さんがいる方は暖かい季節をおススメいたします!
Our Veltra tour was a wonderful opportunity to learn more about the infamous attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941. A luxury bus picked my husband and I up on time and drove us to the Arizona Memorial. The seats were quite comfortable and the bus also had a restroom. Unfortunately, I can't remember our tour guide's name but I can tell you that he was very respectable, helpful and informative. As we approached the Arizona Memorial we were given pertinent information as to when the bus would depart, tips for getting the most out of our visit, where we could find food and beverages, restrooms, etc. We found the USS Arizona Memorial visit to be a very moving experience. It was interesting to see how chatty people were as we entered the theatre to view a short video of live footage of the Pearl Harbor attack. Once the video started there was complete silence. It was a solemn experience for all and we continued on a shuttle boat to witness the sunken battleship still leaking oil to this day and the occasional air bubbles that surfaced. We would highly recommend it for all, young and old. On the down side, neither of us thought the city tour was very exciting.
We had a blast. Go for the 1000' 10 min. It was worth the extra money. Every min in the air is worth it. Also get the splash.
I signed up for this tour because I wanted to visit the beautiful ocean in Hawaii for the first time! On the day of the tour, the weather was cloudy with occasional sunshine and rain. Unfortunately, it was cold and windy during the snorkeling, but even so, the ocean was beautiful and I was able to see fish. I think it would have looked even more stunning if it had been sunny the whole time!
初めてのハワイで綺麗な海に行きたいと思い、このツアーに申し込みました!当日は天気が曇り時々晴れ時々雨でした。風が強くあいにく寒い中のシュノーケリングになりましたが、そんな中でも海は綺麗で魚も見れました。ずっと晴れていたら何倍も綺麗に見れたと思います!
I participated on December 11. It was around 4 PM on the first day we arrived in Hawaii. My friend and I joined two groups, including a Taiwanese family.
We went first. We chose the 150m option, and it was truly amazing. I highly recommend the 150m!
There was a $30 option for photos, but we opted out. The daughter of the Taiwanese family suggested we take pictures of each other, so we were planning to do that, but it seems the boat staff took a few pictures of us after seeing that interaction! It might have been because there were only two groups. Honestly, after we finished, it felt a bit awkward to take pictures of others on the boat, so just a heads up on that.
It was really, really fantastic; the horizon looked beautiful, and 150m is quite high! As expected, we were dropped into the sea, getting about halfway submerged (saying things like "Yay!!"), and then we surfaced and landed back on the boat! The wire handling was really impressive!
We declined the ride back and walked along Waikiki Beach while enjoying the sunset.
12月11日に参加しました。ハワイについた初日の16時くらいだったかな・・?友人と二人で参加し、台湾人親子との2組でした。
私たちが先に飛びました。150mを選んでいたのですが、本当に最高でした。是非とも150mおすすめです。
30ドルで写真とありましたが、私たちは希望しませんでした。それに、台湾人親子の娘さんがお互いの写真を取り合いっこしましょうかぁ・・って言ってくれていたので、そのつもりでしたが、どうやらそのやりとりをみて船のスタッフさんが何枚かとってくれました!
2組で少なかったからかもしれません。正直、自分たちが終わってから、船で人の写真を撮るには気持ち悪くなるのでご注意を・・です。
ほんとに、ほんとに最高でしたよ、水平線がきれいに見れたし150m高いです!
予想してましたが、お決まりの海に腰半分浸かるくらい落とされ(イェーイ!!とか言って)再び浮上してから船に着地!本当に上手なワイヤーさばきでした!
帰りの車はお断りして、サンセットを眺めながら、ワイキキビーチを歩いて帰りました。
I was able to swim! ^^
When I signed up, I hesitated. In the end, I decided to enroll to fulfill my partner's wish of "wanting to swim with dolphins."
Even with a life jacket on, I felt anxious. When I jumped in, my heart rate increased, and I couldn't breathe properly, so at first, I swam with my face mostly above water.
However, the crew was persistently encouraging, saying "Dive down, it's okay, it's okay," and after about five minutes, I managed to get my face in the water! (For someone who isn't good at swimming, those five minutes might be tough.)
I'm so grateful! Once I got my face in the water, it felt like a different world. There was a huge group of dolphins, probably around twenty. I was able to keep my face in the water longer because I wanted to see more. I knew I shouldn't move my fins, but out of fear, I was flailing them. However, realizing that the dolphins would swim away, I stopped moving my fins and just floated gently with the help of the life jacket.
I also got to see a sea turtle, and by that time, I was swimming at the front, sticking close to the crew.
This tour gave me a sense of security, knowing that they would help if anything happened. My enthusiasm to see the dolphins helped me learn to swim, and later, I found myself swimming without a life jacket on the beach. I'm so thankful.
I’ve decided to repeat this experience. This might be the first time I want to repeat an optional tour. The transportation to the Kahala Hotel (the meeting point was a five-minute walk from the hotel at Kahala Bridge) was also a nice touch.
泳げるようになっていました^^;
申込の際、迷いました。
最終的には相方の"イルカと泳ぎたい"という希望を叶えるため申込。
ライフジャケットをつけても不安。
飛び込んでも心拍数が上がって上手に息をすることができず、最初はほぼ顔出しで泳ぎました。
で、でも、クルーの方が粘り強くひつこいくらい「潜って潜って」「大丈夫大丈夫」と
言ってくださって、5分後には何とか顔に水をつけられるように!
(泳ぐのが苦手な人にとってはこの5分間はしょうがないかもしれません)
感謝です!顔に水をつけるとそこは上とは別世界。
20匹はいるであろうイルカの大群。
もっと見たいとずっと顔を水につけることができました。
フィンを動かしてはいけないとわかっていたのに怖さからばたつかせていたのですが、
イルカが逃げてしまうと知り、フィンは動かさずライフジャケットの力だけを
借りてそうっと浮かんでいました。
ウミガメも見ることができ、そのころにはクルーの方にくっついて先頭を
泳いでいる私。
このツアーには「何かあれば助けてくれる」という安心感がありました。
イルカを見たい、という熱意で泳げるようになり、その後、ビーチで
ライフジャケットもなく泳いでいる私がいました。感謝感謝です。
リピート決定。
オプショナルツアーでリピートしたいと思ったのははじめてかもしれません。
カハラホテル(集合はホテル徒歩5分のカハラブリッジ)への送迎もあったのも
よかったです。
I challenged myself to the longest 150 meters. Half excited, half nervous... We were the second group out of three. We observed the previous group to learn what to expect. Finally, it was our turn! Since it was 9 AM, it wasn't hot yet, and the breeze was refreshing. Up we went into the air! I was a bit scared at first and couldn't move my legs, but the airtime was quite long, so I relaxed and enjoyed it after a while.
In the air, it was silent, and I felt no pulling sensation; it was as if time had stopped. It was an indescribable feeling. At the end, there was the customary splash landing in the sea. As others had shared, there was a moment to tip the boat crew, but since no one else did, I didn't either.
The shuttle bus was on time, and Yano-san came to pick us up. While we were parasailing, for some reason, he bought me a hair accessory and waited. The view of Waikiki from above was beyond my imagination. It can't be captured in photos. You have to experience it for yourself. It will be the best memory!
最長の150メートルにチャレンジしました。わくわく半分、どきどき半分・・・私たちは3組中2番目。前の組の様子を見てどんなものだか勉強。いざ、自分の番!朝9時だったのでまだ暑くなく風が爽やか、一気に空中へ!落ちやしないかちょっと怖くて最初脚を動かせなかったけど、結構滞空時間が長かったので、途中からはリラックスして満喫。
空中は無音で、引っ張られている感覚もなく時間が止まったよう。
何とも言えない感覚。
最後、恒例の着陸海ポチャもあり。
他の方の体験談とおり、ボートにチップを挟むところがあったが、だれも挟んでなかったので私もしなかった。
送迎バスは定刻。ヤノさんが来てくれました。
私たちがパラセイリングをしている間、どういうわけか、私にだけ、髪飾りを買って待っていてくれました。
空からのワイキキの眺めは想像以上でした。
写真では表せられない。
実際に飛んで見て下さい。最高の思い出になりますよ。
The revue, the dinner, the ambience was electric!!! Everything was beyond our expectations!!!!
Truly a memorable experience !!!!
So much fun ! we loved it ! A great way to see this beautiful ranch
Had a blast. Staff were awesome and very friendly. Saw sea turtles and tons of fish and played water volley ball on the sand bar. Would do this again!
We very much wanted to see Pearl Harbor and experience the memories of so many fallen Americans. The respect and are we feel towards those sacrifices was immense. We wouldn't have missed paying our respects to them at Pearl Harbor Memorial. We pre-purchased our tickets and everything went smoothly.
It was different from the image; I could barely see something that looked like a whale in the distance. I probably won't go again. It's a shame.
イメージと違い遠くにクジラらしきものが
なんとか見える感じでした
もう行くことはないでしょう
残念です
It was an amazing time. Our guides were awesome, informative and a lot of fun.
The guides from E Noa Tours do a great job providing guests with a good mixture of history, cultural background, and humor. The tour was good, although we felt like we had too much time to kill on land before the boat ride to the USS Arizona Memorial. We also felt like we didn't have enough time at the USS Missouri. Overall, the highlights tour was good and participants definitely get a well-rounded understanding of the history behind the events leading up to December 7, 1941.
E Noa Tours wishes you and your a very Happy New Year! We are so glad you enjoyed your tour highlighting Pearl Harbor.
Please think of us the next time you are on O'ahu!
The E Noa Team
There isn't enough stars to rate this tour. We had an amazing time, our guides were better than grwat. They were fun and very informative when it came to the history of the area. I can't recommend this one enough!!! Mahalo Nui Loa!!
Me and my boyfriend had a great time on this sail. The crew was so friendly, made us feel right at home. We like to snorkel every chance we get - and we love when the crew will show us specific cool finds - like sea turtles and dolphins! The food was delicious as well. We like more intimate sails, and there were only about 15 people on our boat, with 4 crew members - PERFECT! Overall just a great tour and exactly what we were looking for. Wish it would have lasted longer! 4 hours on the dot. Thanks again guys.
Thrilling! There are many slide rides that are like roller coasters, which are rare in Japan! A 90-degree drop is just the norm, and you might get thrown off your float, no mercy! Haha.
However, be careful as no one speaks Japanese here. I struggled to operate the unmanned machine that only had English instructions for setting the passcode for the coin lockers.
But since there aren't any large-scale pools like this in Japan, if you have the time during your travels, why not give it a try? 😊
スリル満点!日本では少ないジェットコースターみたいなスライダーがたくさん!!90度降下も当たり前、浮き輪から投げ出されようが容赦ない!!笑
ただ、ここは日本語が全く通じないので注意です。コインロッカーも英語表記のみでパスコードを設定する無人の機械を操作するのは苦戦しました。
でも日本にはここまで大規模なプールはないので、旅行に余裕がある方には一度来てみてはいかがでしょうか(^^)
Thank you for your feedback, Taiyou. The coin lockers have been updated since last month and now feature a self-service kiosk that supports Japanese. There is a Japanese flag icon at the bottom of the screen. However, during the time you visit, the sunlight directly hits the screen, making it very difficult to see. We are trying to adjust the orientation to minimize the light on the screen, but we will work on improving this as a future challenge.
Taiyou様、ご意見ありがあとうございました。コインロッカーは先月より新しくなり、一様セルフキオスクで日本語対応にはなっているのですが、スクリーンの一番下に日本の国旗マークが付いています。ただ皆さんがお越しいただく時間、太陽がスクリーンに直接あたり大変見にくくなってしまっております。向き等を変えて光がスクリーンなるべく当たらないようにしているのですが、これからの課題として改善させて頂きます。
This tour is full of Aloha hospitality. On the day I participated, I was lucky enough to encounter wild dolphins at two different points. The American crew was fantastic. The guide who swam with the dolphins was clear and kind in their instructions, and they were experienced in catering to each passenger's needs. I attended with a friend, but I noticed that they provided excellent care for families with children, which was appreciated. The guide's freediving underwater was artistic, almost like a dolphin! On the way back, they performed bright and beautiful prayer songs with sharp dancing.
For those who will be participating, I recommend taking measures against seasickness and bringing a waterproof outdoor jacket. I don’t get seasick, but quite a few people were feeling unwell and couldn’t enjoy the beautiful scenery of the boat trip, which was unfortunate to see. Additional investments to enhance your experience include seasickness medication, which is available at Japanese airports, and a $20 wristband that is introduced on the bus ride to the destination. Also, depending on where you sit on the boat, you may get splashed by the waves. Having a lightweight, water-resistant jacket would make your experience more comfortable.
アロハホスピタリティ満点のツアーです。私が参加した日は、ラッキーなことにポイント2ヶ所で野生のイルカと遭遇できました。アメリカ人のクルーも大当たりでした。イルカと泳ぐガイドもわかりやすく親切に案内してくれましたし、乗客の方それぞれにあった対応も慣れていて、私は友人との参加でしたが、家族連れには子供へのケアが厚く、ありがたい様子でした。水中でのガイドのフリーダイビングも芸術的で、まるでイルカみたいでした!帰りは明るくて祈りの歌が上手でキレッキレのダンスを披露してくれました。
これから参加される方には、酔い止め対策を取られること、Waterproofのアウトドアジャケットを持参されることをお薦めします。私は船酔いしないのですが、結構な方がダウンされていてせっかくの船旅の景色を楽しむことができず見ていて気の毒でした。体験を良くするための追加の投資は酔い止め薬は日本の空港でも売っていますし、往路のバスで$20のリストバンドが紹介されます。また船での移動は座る場所によって波しぶきがかかります。水を通さないタイプの薄手のジャケットがあると快適に過ごせると思います。
Actually, I have a fear of heights, but I decided to challenge myself!!! As a result, it was exhilarating and so much fun. The weather was great, and I could see all of Honolulu. I was able to overlook not just Waikiki but also the distant mountains. The view from the sky was amazing. The sea and sky were a beautiful blue that I had never seen before, and my fear of heights seemed to disappear.
At the end, I got to dip into the sea twice, and it was incredibly fun at just the right moment. Although I could choose the height, I wasn't given any confirmation on this, so I left it up to the staff. Since I didn't have a sense of height, I thought it would be difficult to choose, so it worked out well for me. I tend to get seasick, so I was a bit worried when we were docked and swaying, but I managed to get through it.
Not only the staff but also the other groups on board were friendly, and I had a great time. I didn't purchase any photos this time, but they can burn them onto a CD on the spot, so I definitely recommend that to those who will participate in the future. The transportation was smooth, and overall, it was a great experience. I want to challenge myself with activities I've never experienced before next time, and I would like to use this site again.
実は高所恐怖症なんですが…
思い切ってチャレンジ!!!
結果、爽快でめちゃめちゃ楽しかったです。
天気も良くて、ホノルルを一望できたようです。
ワイキキの街だけでなく、遠くの山々まで見渡せました。
空からの眺めは最高です。海も空も見たことのない、素敵なブルーで高所恐怖症なんてどこかへいってしまったようです。
最後に海に2度浸かるのですが、絶妙のタイミングでめちゃめちゃ楽しかったです。
高さを選べるようになっていましたが、この点については確認がなく、スタッフにお任せといった感じになっていました。
高さの感覚がなかったので、選ぶのも難しいなぁと思っていたので、わたしには良かったです。
船酔いしやすいので、停泊して揺れる時に少し心配でしたが、なんとかクリアできました。
スタッフだけでなく、同乗した他のグループの人たちも気さくで楽しい時間が過ごせました。
今回は写真を購入しなかったのですが、その場でCDに焼き付けてもらえるので、これから参加する方々には是非おススメしたいです。
送迎もスムーズで全体的に良かったです。
次回も今まで体験したことのない、アクティビティにチャレンジしたいと思いますが、
また、このサイトを利用したいと思いました。
