All Reviews for Kid Friendly (Ages 5-7)

As soon as we arrived at the bay by bus, it started to rain and the wind was blowing, making it cold. It would have been wonderful if the weather had been good.

バスで湾についたとたん雨が降りだし風も吹いていて
寒かったです。天候が良ければ素晴らしかったはずです

I wasn't sure if I would be able to see turtles, so it was amazing to see them. The fish were beautiful, and it was my first time snorkeling, but it was really great! 😊

カメが見れるかわからなかったので見れて最高でした。魚も綺麗で初めてのシュノーケリングでしたがとてもよかったです(^-^)

Royal Star motorcoach provided top notch transportation and Patrick, our driver and guide, provided superior service. The motorcoach was impeccably clean and modern and Patrick was friendly, funny, and completely knowledgeable about everything Hawaiian that all of us asked him. I particularly liked that Patrick kept track of us at all times and was at all rendezvous sites at Pearl Harbor on time. It was great to know that he was looking out for us and took a personal interest in all of us. Patrick is a wonderful ambassador of your company and of your motorcoach and guide services. By the way, I'm not related to Patrick, but I am a former motorcoach bus captain myself for several years in Virginia. Patrick is a man worth keeping happy; you do not want to lose this gem to a competitor! We were very glad we found VELTRA online for our Pearl Harbor and Honolulu transportation and tour on 11/27/2015.

This time, I came to Hawaii for the first time. My friend had been here a few times, but since they had never done a dolphin tour, I asked them to join me! I was a bit worried about waking up early the day after arriving in Hawaii, but I made my way to the pickup location with sleepy eyes. After about an hour's drive by bus, we arrived at the harbor on the west coast of Oahu. It’s said to be a surfer's paradise, and the waves were a bit high.

Finally, we set off on the boat! We performed a prayer ritual and sat at the front of the boat, crossing the sea with a refreshing breeze! It felt like we went quite far. About a week before we arrived, the weather had been bad, but the day we participated was absolutely perfect!

I joined on November 30, but I went in without a wetsuit. Well, everyone else was wearing wetsuits or rash guards... haha. However, the water was warm, and as long as I had something to put on after getting out, it wasn't a problem at all!

Finally... we met the dolphins!! I was nervous wondering if we would see them, but we spotted a pod of dolphins from the boat! There were so many wild dolphins. Even when we got into the water, they were really close and incredibly cute! Usually, you might only get to dive once, but we dove twice. Unfortunately, I couldn't spot them the second time, but it became a wonderful memory!

After that, we moved to a different spot by boat. While we were moving to snorkel, we were lucky enough to see a humpback whale!!! It was an unexpected surprise, and I was so excited! There are set distances for how close you can get, but we happened to find it and got to see it really up close, which was lucky (^ ^). There were also lots of sea turtles and plenty of fish!

I didn’t get in the water because I'm not good at snorkeling, but I was still very satisfied! After all the activities were finished, we all had cheeseburgers on the boat to wrap up the day! On the way back, I fell into a deep sleep on the bus (laughs). We were blessed with great weather, and it was so much fun to encounter dolphins, whales, sea turtles, and fish!

今回、わたしは初めてハワイに来ました。
友達は数回目でしたが、イルカツアーは組んだことがないということで、ぜひ参加したい！！とお願いしました。
ハワイ到着の翌日早朝ということで、起きれるか不安がありましたが、寝ぼけ眼のままピックアップ場所へ。
その後バスで走ること1時間ちょっとで、ハーバーに到着。オアフ島の西海岸。
サーファーの聖地だそうで、波はちょっぴり高め。
いざボートで出発！！
お祈りの儀式をしたり、ボートの先頭に座って海を爽快に横断！
だいぶ遠くまで行ったように思います。
私たちが着く一週間ほど前は天候がわるかったみたいですが、私たちが参加した日はお天気抜群‼︎
私は11/30参加ですが、ウェットスーツなしで入りました。まあ私以外はみんなウェットなりラッシュガードを着ていましたが…笑
でも実際海の中は温かく、上がってから羽織るものがあれば特に問題はなかったです！
いよいよ…イルカたちとご対面！！
会えるのかなとドキドキしましたが、ボートの上からイルカの群れを発見‼︎たくさんの野生イルカがいました。海の中に入ってもすごくハッキリ近いところにイルカたちがいて、めちゃくちゃ可愛かった〜！
いつもは一度だけ？なのかもしれませんが、私たちは2回潜りました☆残念ながら、私は2回目は発見出来ずでしたが、とってもいい思い出になりましま！
その後はまたボートで違うポイントへ。
シュノーケルをするために移動中、幸運にもザトウクジラまで見ることが出来ちゃいました！！！それには思いがけないサプライズで大興奮！！
近付ける距離が決まっているそうですが、たまたま偶然見つけたためすっごい近くで見れてラッキーでした(^ ^)
ウミガメもたくさんいて、お魚もいっぱい！
シュノーケルは苦手のため、入水しませんでしたが、それでも大満足でした！！
全部のアクティビティが終了したら、みんなでボートでチーズバーガーを食べて終了！！
帰りのバスは言うまでもなく爆睡（笑）
お天気にも恵まれ、イルカ、クジラ、ウミガメ、魚とたくさん出会えてたのしかったです！！

During our honeymoon trip to Hawaii, we wanted to see wild dolphins and swim with them, so we decided to join this tour!

To sum it up, it was a very satisfying tour♪

We were able to swim with dolphins twice in the ocean, but unfortunately, both times the dolphins swam quite far below us, so we couldn't get as close as we had hoped. However, according to our guide, there are times when they are much smaller and even difficult to spot, so we were quite fortunate to see them clearly (sometimes they come very close to people). Well, since they are wild dolphins and not domesticated, it's all a matter of luck, and being able to enjoy that aspect is one of the charms of the tour.

Additionally, not only dolphins but also snorkeling at the sea turtle spot is included, so even if we weren't lucky with the dolphins, it was still okay! There are points where sea turtles are almost guaranteed to be present, and we were able to swim quite close to them, so much so that we had to avoid touching them (it seems that touching sea turtles in Hawaii can result in a fine)!

While the main focus is on snorkeling with dolphins and sea turtles as mentioned above, there are also other activities such as singing Hawaiian songs and throwing flowers to pray for a safe voyage, watching the crew's wonderful hula, enjoying paddleboarding and kayaking, sliding from the boat, and eating burgers. It's quite a packed tour, and combined with the friendliness and brightness of the crew, it guarantees a very enjoyable experience♪

Finally, to make the most of the tour, here are a few reminders. First, definitely take motion sickness medication. We were fine, but a few people looked unwell (the guide gives quite a bit of explanation about seasickness beforehand, which might have the opposite effect). Also, it's a good idea to bring local currency. They offer paid options on the bus heading to the ocean, such as wetsuit rentals ($5 per person), photo packages (we received about 600 photos of all participants on a USB), and motion sickness wristbands (around $20, effectiveness unknown).

And the most important thing: if you're participating in the morning, make sure to wake up properly! The departure is around 5 AM, so an early wake-up is required.

新婚旅行でハワイに行った際、野生のイルカが見たい、イルカと泳ぎたいと思って参加しました！

結果から言えば、かなり満足のいくツアーでした♪

海に入ってイルカと泳ぐことができたのは２回で、１度目も２度目もイルカが私達のかなり下の方を泳いでいたため、思ったほど近くを泳げなかったのは残念でしたが、ガイドさんの話ではもっと小さくしか見えない時や、そもそも視認することも難しい時もあるようなので、しっかりと見ることのできた私達はかなり恵まれた方だったのかなと思います（時によってはかなり人の近くに寄ってくることもあるみたいです）。まあそのへんは飼いならされているわけではなく、あくまで野生のイルカなので、運次第ということでしょうし、そういった点も含めて楽しむことができるのがツアーの魅力のひとつでもあります。

また、イルカだけでなく、海ガメポイントでもシュノーケリングできるので、万一イルカ運に恵まれなかった場合でも大丈夫！こちらはほぼ確実に海ガメがいるポイントがあるらしく、私達もかなり近くで海ガメと泳ぐことができ、むしろ近すぎて、下手に触らないように避けるぐらいでした（ハワイでは下手に海ガメに触ると罰金をとられるようです）！

そして、あくまでメインとしては上に書いたようなイルカ＆海ガメとのシュノーケリングですが、これ以外にも、航海の無事を祈ってハワイの歌を歌って花を投げたり、クルーのフラ（素晴らしい）を見たり、パドルボートやカヤック、ボートからの滑り台で楽しんだり、バーガーを食べたりと結構盛りだくさんのツアーですので、クルーの人のよさというか明るさも相まって、非常に楽しいツアーとなることは請け合いです♪

最後に、ツアーを最大限に楽しむためにも、いくつか注意喚起です。
まず、酔い止めは必ず飲みましょう。私達は大丈夫でしたが、数人は気分が悪そうにしていました（ガイドさんが事前にかなり船酔いに関する説明をするので、それがかえって逆効果になる可能性も）。
そして、一応現地通貨は持って行きましょう。ウェットスーツの有料レンタル（１人５ドル）や、写真（USBでもらえます。私達の時は全参加者のいろいろな写真含めて600枚ぐらいありました）の申込（５０ドル程度）、酔い止め用のリストバンド（２０ドルぐらい？効果のほどは不明）の販売など、海に向かうバスの中で有料オプションを受け付けています。
そしてこれが一番大切なことですが、朝参加の場合は、きちんと朝起きましょう！朝は５時台出発なので、かなり早起きが要求されます。

We had a great time on the sail and the swim with the turtles. The crew was great, you can tell they really love what they do and want to make sure your excursion is a memorable one. We would do it again.

In conclusion, I personally wasn't very satisfied with the experience. The reasons include that due to the large number of participants, there wasn't enough attention given to each individual. While I wanted to see dolphins, I didn't get to see any sea turtles. There are various other points, but overall, the content felt quite intense, and I think it would be difficult for older participants to join.

This is just my personal opinion, but I don't think I will go again.

結論からすると、個人的にあまり満足いく内容ではありませんでした。
理由は、人数が多い為ひとりひとりに対しての気がまわらない事。イルカをみるたが、別にウミガメはみれてない事。
等々ありますが、内容はかなりハードで年配の方の参加は厳しいように感じました。

本当に個人的な意見ですが、私はもう行かないと思います。

this cruise was bueatiful simple and just perfect. it was tight on space though. overall vary happy :-D

I participated on November 19, but due to the rainy season, the weather was bad and it was high tide, so I could only see the white sand on the seabed. Also, after about 30 minutes of snorkeling, my body got cold and I couldn't enjoy it much. The hamburger was cold, and I wished it had been warmed up a bit more. I think those who will participate in the future should check the weather and low tide before going. Also, since the boat cuts through the wind, a warm jacket is necessary.

１１月１９日に参加しましたが雨季の為、お天気が悪くしかも満潮でしたので海底の白い砂を見ただけでした。又シュノーケルも３０分もすると、身体が冷えてあまり楽しめませんでした。ハンバーガーも冷えていてもう少し温めてほしいと思いました。これから参加される方は、お天気と干潮を調べて出かけると良いと思います。又船上は風を切って走るので、暖かい上着が必要です。

We went to Hawaii for our honeymoon. During that time, we enrolled in Dolphin University.

Although it was quite early in the morning, the sister who came to pick us up was very energetic and talked non-stop for about an hour and a half to the port! We tried to sleep on the bus, but we were captivated by her interesting stories, making for a very enjoyable start to our day! However, it was quite cold on the bus... (><)

Once we boarded, we had fun listening to Hawaiian music while searching for dolphins. The beautiful sea and mountains were breathtaking! It seemed we were lucky that day, as we quickly spotted a pod of dolphins. There were about 30 of them, I think? They swam by swiftly, but for me, who had always dreamed of swimming with dolphins, it was a very precious experience.

There were also many turtles, and we thoroughly enjoyed snorkeling! On the way back to the port, we were treated to cheeseburgers, juice, and snacks. I couldn't eat any, but he said it was delicious and finished my portion too.

In the end, we learned a Hawaiian dance and danced together! It became a very fun memory! Thank you very much!

ハネムーンでハワイへ。
その際にイルカ大学へ入学させていただきました。
朝相当早かったのですが、迎えに来たお姉さんはとても元気で、港までの約1時間半、ずっと話続けておられました！バスで寝ようとしていた私達ですが、お姉さんの面白い話に聞き入り、出だしからとても楽しい時間でした！
ただ、バス内は相当寒かったです…(><)
乗船してからは、楽しくハワイの音楽を聞きながらイルカさんを探します。
綺麗な海と山が絶景です‼
この日は運が良かったようで、スグに群れを見付けることができました。
30頭くらいはいたのではないでしょうか？スーっと泳いでいってしまいますが、イルカと泳ぐことが夢であった私にとって、とても貴重な体験をさせていただきました。
カメさんも沢山いて、シュノーケルも存分に楽しめました！
港までの帰り道は、チーズバーガーやジュース、お菓子までいただきました☆私は食べれなかったのですが、彼は美味しいと私の分までたいらげました(^^)
最後はハワイの踊りを教えてもらってみんなで踊りました！
とても楽しい思い出となりました！
ありがとうございました！

I decided to book parasailing this time because it seemed like the most exciting ocean activity. I can do banana boat rides and jet skiing anytime, but flying in the sky is something you can't do every day. I had heard about my friend's experience doing it before, so I was determined to try it.

It was my first time booking a tour online, but it was manageable as long as you have a computer (laughs). There were quite a few details to fill out.

On the day of parasailing, the local driver arrived at the hotel right on time to pick us up. I handed over the voucher printed in Japan. Although Japanese wasn't understood, the driver was very cheerful and friendly. Even though he didn't speak English, I managed to understand the meaning of a few words and communicated through gestures, which was fun! I felt a bit regretful that I couldn't speak English (laughs).

We picked up other participants one after another and headed to the marina. Most of them were Japanese couples, including us. The driver wasn't a Japanese guide, but he kindly shared recommendations for delicious local restaurants while driving, which was helpful.

As for clothing, it's basically fine to stay in your swimsuit and just wear something over it. A water-resistant hoodie like mine is sufficient. Just make sure to put your towel, phone, camera, and money in a waterproof bag. I was trying to take pictures while flying (laughs).

When we arrived at the marina, there was a local staff member who could speak Japanese, which was a relief! They took pictures of us flying and saved them on an SD card, which they sell back to you for $30.

The boat captain and staff were manly Americans! They were very kind! R&B music was blasting from the speakers on the boat, which really pumped up the mood. I would love to go sea bass fishing on this boat (laughs). We departed from the marina and headed offshore.

We set up the equipment and were connected to a huge parachute. The moment the captain released the wire... we shot up into the sky (laughs)! It was incredibly high, and the view was amazing! I had no idea flying could feel this good. The staff on the boat were taking pictures with a DSLR camera (laughs). It was the best! This is perfect for anyone who dreams of flying!

However, when we took off, there was a sudden downpour, and we were caught in heavy rain while in the air! I quickly took a lot of pictures and videos with my waterproof phone!

I felt like a pilot escaping from a downed fighter jet (laughs). Eventually, the wire was reeled in, but some people were dropped into the sea. We also ended up splashing into the water!

It became an amazing memory.

I'm not quite sure, but it seems like you can choose the height you fly at, yet everyone was at 150 meters, right? On the boat, no one was checking who was flying at what height. I have a feeling that even if you book for 90 meters, you might end up flying at 150 meters. Can someone try it? If that's the case, it might be better to book at the cheaper rate.

Anyway, it was incredibly fun!

On the way back, we bought the SD card and were taken back to the hotel. Since we are Japanese, let's remember to follow etiquette and place towels on the seats for the ride home!

今回パラセーリングを申し込んだのは、海のアクティビティで一番エキサイティングに思えたからです。
バナナボートやジェットはいつでも出来ますから。空に舞い上がるなんてなかなか出来ないですよね。
友人が以前やってた体験談を聞いてたので、絶対にやろうと思いました。
初めてインターネットでツアーを申し込んだ訳ですが、まあまあ、パソコンがあれば気合いで申し込めますね(笑)登録内容は多いですが。

パラセーリング当日、時間ぴったりに現地のドライバーさんがホテルまで迎えに来てくれました。
日本で印刷したバウチャーを渡しました。
日本語は通じなかったんですが、かなり明るく気さくなドライバーさんで、英語わからなかったですが、一個の単語の意味を理解し、ジェスチャーでなんとかコミュニケーションとれて楽しかったです！逆に自分が英語わからないのが残念で悔しい(笑)
あと、自分達以外に申し込んだ方々を次々ピックアップ してマリーナへ。
ほとんど日本人カップルばっかりでしたね、自分達もですが。ドライバーさんは日本語ガイドではないですが、現地の料理の美味しいお店を教えてくれなら運転してくれて参考になりました。

服装は基本的に水着のまま、上からなんか着ればいいです。自分みたいに海用のパーカーあれば十分。あとはビニール袋に、タオルやケータイ、カメラ、お金等を防水仕様にしていれれば大丈夫です。自分飛んだまま撮影しようとしてたんで(笑)

いざマリーナに着くと日本語しゃべれる現地スタッフさんがいて助かりました！
飛んでる写真を撮影してＳＤカードに保存、30ドルで帰りに売ってくれるみたいです。

ボートの船長さんやスタッフさんも男らしいアメリカ人！とても優しいです！
ボートではスピーカーからR&Bが爆音で流れててテンションブチアゲです。このボートでシーバス釣りに行きたい(笑)
マリーナを出発！沖合いへ。
装備をガチャガチャセットして、二人で巨大なパラシュートに繋がれて。
船長さんがワイヤーをフリーにした瞬間…………
空にぶっ飛んで行った自分ら(笑)
めちゃめちゃ高いし、景色が最高！
空を飛ぶのがこんなに気持ちいいなんて知らなかったです。
ボートからはスタッフさんが一眼レフでパシャりしてるし(笑)
最高！空を飛ぶのに憧れがある人には最適です！
ただ、自分達がぶっ飛んで行った時は突然のスコールで、空中で激しい雨に見回れ騒ぎまくりました！すかさず、防水仕様にしたスマホから写真撮りまくり、ムービー撮影しました！

気分は撃墜された戦闘機から脱出したパイロットです(笑)
ようやくワイヤーを巻き取られますが、人によっては海に落とされます。
自分らも海にジャボンされました！

めちゃめちゃいい思い出になりました。

よくわからないのが、飛ぶ高さ選べるみたいですが、みんな150メーターなんじゃないですかね？
ボートの上ではいちいち誰が何メーター飛ぶなんて確認してないですよ？
もしや、90メーターで申し込んでも150メーター飛ばされるような気がする。
だれかやってみて？だったら安い料金で申し込んだ方がいいんじゃ？
まあ、なんにせよ、めちゃめちゃ楽しかったです！

帰りはSDカードを買い、ホテルへ送迎。
日本人ですから、マナーを守り、タオルを座席に引いて帰りましょうね！

This event was great and I did it all solo and it was well worth the money. I will do more with them the next time I come to the island.

Had a great time in the bay, definitely something to do again

We had a great time. The staff was very helpful and pleasant. We had a few surprises such as the turtle watching and the snorkeling at the beautiful reef. The food was great and the hot cocoa and beverages were a plus. There was more people than we expected but overall we had a wonderful time. Thank you captain bobs gang ;)

What a fantastic experience. Both the guys on the boat we great and made the experience really fun and relaxing despite me being seasick and afraid of heights. I would highly recommend this company to anyone who likes a bit of thrill seeking.

I made a reservation for the 23rd, but unfortunately, it was rainy. When I received a call to cancel, I asked if I could change the date, and they were able to move it to the next day. The following day, Honolulu was clear, and I was able to enjoy parasailing without any issues! The staff were locals and didn't speak Japanese, but it wasn't a problem at all. Half of the participants were Japanese, so I was able to chat and have fun! The parasailing experience lasted longer than I expected, and I had a really meaningful time. They took nearly 100 photos for $30, and I was very satisfied! I would love to use this service again next time!

23日で予約をしましたがあいにくの雨。キャンセルの電話が来て日にちをずらすことができるか伺ったところ翌日に変更して頂きました。そして翌日、ホノルルは快晴で無事パラセーリングを楽しむことができました！スタッフは現地の方で日本語×でしたが特に問題なく、参加した方も日本人の方が半分を占めておりお話ししたりと楽しむことができました！パラセーリングは思ったよりも長い時間ですごく有意義な時間を過ごせました。写真も30ドルで100枚近く撮っていただき大変満足です！
また次回も利用したいです♪

I signed up for the 90-meter option. On the day of the event, since our accommodation was at the Hilton, we walked there. Including us, there were three groups, with two of them being Japanese. I had seen reviews mentioning seasickness, so I took some motion sickness medication before participating. It didn't sway much, but since it was a small boat, I think it's definitely better to take it. Also, the captain spoke entirely in English (laughs), and there were many things I didn't understand, but I guessed he was saying not to touch the bar above our heads, just as the reviews mentioned. According to the height order, we were supposed to be second, but ended up going last. An American lady told us, "You were the highest," so I thought maybe we were mistaken for the Japanese couple who were on the 120-meter option. Since the prices are different, it's important to confirm this!

My husband was strongly opposed, but once we flew, it was really quiet, and I understood how birds feel (laughs). I thought it would be a once-in-a-lifetime experience, so I was truly satisfied.

They will ask you about photos when you get on, but it's better to mention it just in case. It's 30 dollars for 135 photos, and since it's a once-in-a-lifetime experience, I don't think it's expensive. It was truly a great experience!

90メートルで申し込みました。
当日、宿泊先がヒルトンだったので徒歩で向かいました。私たち含めて3組、内日本人は2組でした。向かうまでに船酔いをするとの口コミを見ていたので、酔い止めを飲んで参加しました。あまり揺れなかったのですが、小型の船なので必ず飲んだ方がいいと思います。また、船長さんはオール英語(笑)何言ってるのか分からないことも多かったのですが、とりあえず頭上にあるバーには触らないと口コミ通りのことを言ってるのだと推測…。高さ順に行くと多分私たちは2番目の予定でしたが、最終で飛ぶことに。「あなたたちが一番高かったわよ」とアメリカ人のマダムに言われたので、一緒に乗っていた日本人カップル(120メートル)と間違われたのかなと思います。料金が異なるので、ここはしっかり確認したほうがいいです！！

主人は大反対でしたが、飛んでみると本当に静かで鳥の気持ちがわかりました(笑)一生に一回の経験だと思っていましたので、本当に満足しました。

写真は乗るときに聞いてくれますけど、一応伝えたほうがいいです。135枚で30ドル、一生に一回なので、高いとは思いません。本当に良い経験でした！

Staff were amazing and made the adventure perfect. Awesome experience shared with my nephew. Coming back to Hawaii in April and will be doing this again for 3rd time! Sea was really rough but made it all so much more fun, was given option to change days or refund but so glad we decided to go ahead, was a fabulous day.

I was worried if the Dinner Plan A course would be okay, but the quality and quantity of the food were wonderful! The selection of wines was also abundant, and the California sparkling wine and Opus One's second label, Overture, made for a fantastic time.

I definitely want to use this again next time.

ディナープランAコースで大丈夫か心配していましたが、料理の内容も量も素晴らしかったです！
ワインの種類も豊富でカルフォルニアのスパークリングと、オーパスのセカンドのオーバーチャーで最高の一時でした。

次回もぜひ利用したいと思います。

I'm always nervous booking something online and it was wonderful when we got off the plane to have our greeter right there in plain site. This was a surprise for our guests traveling with us and was a very nice welcome to Hawaii. The greeter was absolutely lovely but we couldn't understand her because she seemed to speak in a whisper. Maybe our hearing was off from the engine noise of 11 hours flying to get there. I was expecting an orchid lei and instead got the big brown nut lei that looks like chocolate. I guess that's better because it will last forever as a souvenir even though the flowers are much prettier. I would use them again but just ask that the greeter try to speak a little louder.

Although the weather was unfortunately bad on the day, we were able to see many turtles. The plan mentioned a barbecue lunch, but it was actually a cheeseburger.

当日はあいにくの悪天候でしたが、多くの亀を見ることができました。
プランでは、バーベキューランチと書かれていましたが、実際にはチーズバーガーでした。

We were picked up less than a block away from our Waikiki Hotel for an early morning 6:30am tour with a guarantee to return us back to the hotel no later than 2:00 pm. As we had a scheduled 3:00pm pick-up for transportation to the cruise ship pier from our Hotel, the time schedule was critical. The drive showed up right on time in a luxury Tour Bus. We completed the Pearl harbor tour which included the USS Missouri, the USS Arizona, and the city tour and got us back to our hotel with time to spare. Great Service. Would highly recommend.

The day before, there was a once-in-30-years heavy rain, so the sea was murky, but during snorkeling, I was able to see corals and cute little fish, and sea turtles also popped up occasionally, which was enjoyable. However, today, unfortunately, muddy water from the mountains started rushing toward the sandbar, and when I tried to escape, it was already right in front of me, and I ended up getting soaked. My swimsuit got quite dirty, so I wish the guide had told us to get out earlier if they had noticed.

この日は前日が30年に一度の大雨という事で、海が濁ってましたが、シュノーケリングではちゃんとサンゴや可愛い小魚を見ることができましたし、ウミガメもちょいちょい顔出してくれましたので楽しめました。
ただし今日は運悪く山からの泥水がサンドバーに向かって押し寄せてきたので逃げようとしましたが、気付いた時には目の前まで来ていて浸かってしまいました。
これで水着がかなり汚れましたのでガイドさんには気付いていたのであれば早く上がれって言って欲しかったですね。

On November 14th, I participated in the Heaven's Ocean Tour. The ocean in Hawaii is beautiful everywhere, but the sandbar in Kaneohe Bay was exceptional. I was also able to see many sea turtles. When I went snorkeling near the coral reef, a lot of tropical fish came close and ate bread from my hand. The hamburger I had on the boat was also very delicious. Thank you to all the staff!!

11月14日　天国の海ツアーに参加しました。　ハワイはどこも海は綺麗ですが　ｶﾈｵﾍ湾のサンドバーは格別でした。　また海ガメも沢山見ることが出来ました｡　珊瑚礁の近くでシュノーケリングすると　沢山の熱帯魚が近づいてきて　私の手からパンを食べてくれました。　船上で食べたハンバーガーも大変美味しかったです。スタッフの皆さんありがとうございました!!　

It was a shame that it rained heavily halfway through, but the weather is nobody's fault, so it can't be helped! Also, I couldn't understand the explanations in English from the tour guide during the jeep tour with the foreigners... (*_*) However, I was very satisfied with the nature at Kualoa Ranch!

途中から雨がざんざん降ったのが残念でした～
けど、天気は誰のせいでもないのでしょうがないけどね！
あとはジープツアーが外人の方と一緒で搭乗員英語での説明が全然分からなかったのが…(*_*)
クアロア牧場の自然には満足です！

This was my first time snorkeling, and I was very anxious, but our guides, Chieko and Dan, were kind and made me feel very comfortable. Everyone snorkeled while wearing life jackets, so I felt secure even without swimming, which was a relief physically. This tour was the only one that promised underwater photos as a gift, and the photos were absolutely amazing!

I went in mid-November without a wetsuit. It was cold when I first entered the water, but I quickly warmed up. Everyone around me was wearing wetsuits, including our guides, Chieko and Dan, for sun protection. While having a wetsuit might be safer, it was fine without one, and I felt good. Renting one on the day was not possible.

I brought a waterproof case for valuables like my iPhone, but the guide provided a locked container for everyone to store their belongings, so I didn't end up using it. It's best to bring only the essentials, but it's safe to have tips and a mobile phone with you.

There was a changing room by the beach, and I changed before heading back.

シュノーケリングは初めて非常に不安でしたが、ガイドのちえこさん、Danが親切で非常に安心感がありました。
全員救命胴衣を付けたままシュノーケリングするので、泳がなくても勝手に浮かんでいられるので体力的にも安心でした。
水中写真のプレゼントを公言してあるのはこのツアーだけでした。
この写真が非常に素晴らしかったです！

11月中旬でウェットスーツなしでやりました。海に入った瞬間は寒かったですが、すぐに寒くなくなりました。周りの人は全員ウェットスーツつけてました。
ガイドのちえこさん、Danさんも日焼け防止につけてました。
ウェットスーツがあると無難かもしれませんが、なくても問題なくできますし、気持ちがよかったです。当日の貸し出しは不可能でした。

貴重品はiphoneなどを入れる防水ケースを持っていきましたが、ガイドさん持参の鍵付きコンテナに全員しまわせてくれるので使いませんでした。
必要最低限にすべきですが、チップ代や携帯電話などは持参しても安心です。

更衣室も海辺にあり、着替えてから帰ってきました。

We were the only ones picked up, and it was a comfortable drive in a beautiful sedan! When we arrived at the farm, none of the staff spoke Japanese, but they were very friendly! While waiting, I chatted in broken Japanese with the person next to me, and it turned out she was the instructor's mom! Climbing the hill in a 4WD Jeep was an impressive attraction in itself! Not only did we go down seven zip lines, but there was also a suspension bridge along the way, and we got to taste tomatoes, all while enjoying the beautiful scenery—it was the best!

お迎えは私たちだけで、綺麗なセダンで快適なドライブ！
ファームに着くとスタッフは日本語誰も話せないけど、とてもフレンドリー！
待ってる間にカタコトで隣の人と話してると、その方はインストラクターのママでした！
４駆のジープで坂道を登りそれだけでも立派なアトラクション！
７本のジップラインを下るだけでは無く途中に吊り橋あり、トマトの試食有りで景色も良く最高！

Great food, great show! You are truly catered to and the scenery was breathtaking

The tour operators were amazing - we made a last minute decision to do a parasail and we were accommodated at the very end of the day.
It was am experience to remember and the view was awesome at the end of a 1000ft line.
Thank you for the memories.

I went to Hawaii for a wedding and did parasailing there. I didn't tell my sister, who came with me, that I had booked the 150-meter course... At first, she was scared, but once she tried it, she was super excited. The time spent in the air was long, and I was very satisfied. There were courses from 90 to 150 meters, but it seems like it's more about the length of the rope rather than the height. The 90-meter course had a shorter time in the air, so if you want to enjoy the beautiful scenery for a longer time, I recommend the 150-meter course.

結婚式でハワイに行き、そこでパラセーリングをやりました。
150なコースを頼んだ事を一緒に行った妹には告げず…最初怯えていた妹も飛んでみると大興奮。
空中での滞在時間も長く大満足でした。90から150のコースまであったのですが、高さとゆうより、ロープの長さ？ですかね。
90のコースの方は空中滞在時間も短かったので、長く綺麗な景色を楽しみたいなら150のコースがお勧めです
