It was my first time in Hawaii, and I'm really glad I signed up for this tour. The weather was fantastic, and since it started at 9:00 AM, it felt great to fly and have a stunning view of Honolulu.
We went out to sea on a boat, and from there, they took us flying. The guy driving the boat and the one preparing the equipment were both very kind and quite playful. Although they didn't speak Japanese, I had a great time.
If you haven't tried it yet, I definitely recommend experiencing it at least once. It's highly recommended!
初めてのハワイでしたが、このツアーに申し込んで本当に良かったです。
天気がスゴく良く、朝9:00からだったので飛んだ時にとても気持ちがよくホノルルが一望できて最高でした。
ボートで沖まで出て、そこから飛ばしてくれるのですが、船を運転するお兄さんも用具を準備してくれるお兄さんもとても親切でとってもお茶目な人たちでした。日本語は通じませんがとても楽しめました。
やった事のない方は、ぜひ一度体験してみて下さい。
オススメです。

It was really nice to be greeted at the airport with leis after our 9 hour flight. The lady was waiting at the gate for us and she was very friendly - she gave me a hug along with my lei :) Our orchid leis were very beautiful and full - we received numerous compliments on them. It was a very nice way to be welcomed to Hawaii on our honeymoon!

After such a long flight (over 9 hrs), it was great to be greeted with the beautiful leis provided by Honolulu Lei Greetings. Their representative was very welcoming. She physically showed us to the baggage claim area and answered all of our questions about leaving the airport. She even made suggestions that saved us time going to the rental car lots. Thank you for helping us start our Oahu vacation with a smile!

This time, I went with my family of six.
There were some attractions under construction, which was a bit disappointing, but we had so much fun that we could have stayed all day without getting bored.
In particular, the attractions are more enjoyable with a larger group, as the height differences are more thrilling.
I think it's more fun with a big group than just a couple.
Also, the wave pool was a blast with waves coming one after another, and I ended up with muscle soreness the next day.
I would love to go again when I visit Hawaii.
今回は家族6人で行ってきました。
工事中のアトラクションがあり少し残念でしたが、一日中いても飽きないほど楽しかったです。
特にアトラクションは人数が多いほど、高低差が大きく楽しめます。
カップルよりも大人数での方が楽しめると思います。
あと、波の出るプールは次々来る波がとても楽しく次の日は筋肉痛になっていました。
また、ハワイに行ったときは行きたいです。

This is my first trip to Hawaii for a 3-night, 5-day company trip.
Since it's only 3 nights, I thought it would be a waste not to make the most of it! So, I decided to challenge myself to surfing starting from the afternoon of the day I arrived!!!
It's my first time surfing.
The instructor only spoke in English, so to be honest, I was quite nervous...
But with simple Japanese, they guided me to paddle and stand up, saying things like "OK!!!!"
However, they pushed me at the right timing with the waves, so even though it was my first time, I was able to stand up!!
It was so moving!!! So much fun...!!
After returning to Japan, I can't forget that joy, and I'm planning to start surfing!
3泊5日の 社員旅行で 初の HAWAIです。
3泊だから もったいない!!遊び倒さなきゃって 思い
到着した日の 午後から サーフィンに 挑戦!!!
初の サーフィンです。
インストラクターが 英語でしか しゃべれないから 正直
かなりあせりましたが・・・・
簡単な日本語で 漕いで漕いで 立って立って
OK!!!!見たいな感じで・・・
でも うまいこと 波のタイミングで 押してくれるから
初めてなのに 立てることが出来ました!!
感動!!!たのしい・・・・!!
日本に帰ってから あの 楽しさが 忘れらんなくて
はじめるつもりでーす!!

I had previously experienced a Cessna flight on the mainland U.S., so I was looking forward to enjoying the beautiful scenery in Hawaii. However, the flight was quite bumpy due to the air currents from the airport near Oahu until we passed over Waikiki. It was a bit chaotic at first, but eventually, we got to see the beautiful ocean, the stunning view of Turtle Bay Resort from above, and the harvest season at Dole Plantation. The guide was easy to understand, making it a very satisfying Cessna flight.
My husband and I did not choose the piloting option, but I believe that those interested in flying would definitely create lasting memories with that choice.
I have visited Hawaii many times, but seeing it from the sky is simply amazing. The crater of Diamond Head is breathtaking.
I highly recommend it.
以前アメリカ本島でセスナ体験はあるので、そのイメージでハワイで綺麗な景色を楽しみにしていきました。
ところが、オアフの空港近辺からワイキキ上空を抜けるまでは気流の関係で揺れる、揺れる、、、きゃーきゃー騒いで最初は余裕のないフライトでしたが、そのうち綺麗な海、真上から見るタートルベイリゾート付近の美しさ、ドールプランテーションの収穫時期等がよく見えて ガイドもわかりやすく、大変満足なセスナフライトになりました。
私と主人は運転操縦付きプランではなかったのですが、操縦に興味あるかたは絶対にそちらのほうが思い出になると思います。
今まで何度もハワイに行ってきましたが上空から見るハワイはすばらしいの一言です。ダイヤモンドヘッドのクレーター部分は圧巻です。
おすすめです。

We drove to Sea Life Park with our rental car, and it was a relaxing trip with no traffic, so we enjoyed the drive!

As soon as we arrived in Hawaii, my friend and I experienced it together. It was definitely expensive! But the scenery and the ocean were beautiful, and we could see Diamond Head clearly.
There were mostly white tourists, and the instructors couldn't speak Japanese. However, the explanations were easy to understand, so we could enjoy the experience with peace of mind. My friend and I were the only Japanese people there, but that made me feel like I was really on a trip, which was great.
ハワイに着いて早々、友人と二人で体験しました。
確かに高い!でも景色も海もきれいでダイヤモンドヘッドもしっかり見えます。

This is my second time taking surfing lessons here, and rather than wanting to take the lessons, I join the class for safety reasons in various ways when I'm alone. It can be dangerous with rocks and coral, but the instructors keep an eye on us and teach us. If you zone out, you might get scolded...
The photographer is capturing the lesson scenes, so if you're interested in having a memory, you can purchase them. By the way, it was about $30 plus tax for one lesson's worth.
こちらでサーフィンレッスンを受けるのは2回目で、レッスンを受けたいというより、いろんな意味で安全なので、ひとりのときは必ずクラスに入ってます。岩やサンゴで危なかったりもしますよね、ちゃんと先生が見張ってて教えてくれます。ぼーっとしてると、叱られたりもしますけど・・・
カメラマンさんが、レッスン風景を撮影してくれてますので、思い出に・・・と思う方は購入出来ますョ。ちなみに、1レッスン分入ってて30ドル+税ぐらいでした。

I recommend this for those who have visited Manoa Falls as mentioned in the guidebook and felt they could walk more or want a bit more adventure!
There were seven participants, including myself. Three were solo travelers, one couple, and one married couple, all from the mainland United States. The guide primarily spoke English but also shared a little bit of Japanese. I think even those who don't understand English at all will be fine. Rather, we were walking quite a bit, so there wasn't much opportunity for conversation during the hike.
It felt more like trekking off the beaten path than I expected, so I think it's better to wear trekking shoes or change into borrowed rubber boots. I went in short sleeves and shorts, but even with insect repellent, I still got bitten (the swelling went down quickly♪), so I recommend long pants for those who are prone to mosquito bites. As for belongings, everything was fine as listed.
ガイドブックに載っているマノアの滝に行った方で、歩き足りなかった方やもう少し冒険したい方にオススメです!
参加者は私を含め7名でした。一人参加が3名、カップル1組、ご夫婦1組で、全員アメリカ本土からの方でした。ガイドは基本的に英語ですが、ほんの少し知ってる日本語を披露してくれました。全く英語がわからない方でも平気だと思います。とゆうより、かなり頑張って歩くので移動中はみんな話す余裕はなかったです。
思ったより道なき道を進む感じで、トレッキングシューズを履いていくか、長靴が借りられるので履き替えた方がよいと思います。半袖&ハーフパンツで行きましたが、虫除けスプレーをしても刺されてしまったので(すぐ腫れは引きました♪)、蚊に刺されやすい方は長ズボンをお勧めします。持ち物などは、記載された通りで平気でした。

I went to Hawaii during Golden Week. My husband and I took a three-hour lesson. My husband has been surfing for seven years, and I was a beginner, but he took me to a beach near Ala Moana where there were few people, and we both had a great time.
There were six people in our group, and we had two super cute Japanese instructors, which was an incredible luxury for me to have a surf lesson in Japanese in Hawaii as a beginner. They were gentle when we entered the water and encouraged me, who lacks stamina, so I was able to take the lesson with peace of mind.
My husband really liked the beach with no people, and when he mentioned that he wanted to surf there again the next day, they kindly brought the surfboard to Ala Moana Beach for our lesson the next day. He was very satisfied that he could surf outside of Waikiki without renting a car.
I definitely want to request this again next time.
ゴールデンウィークにハワイに行ってきました。

海に入っても優しく、そして体力のない私を励ましてくださり、安心してレッスンを受けることができました。
主人はこの人のいないビーチがすごく気に入り、次の日もここのビーチでサーフィンをしたいと言ってみると、

The women were particularly scared, but once we were up in the air, we were all amazed to see the city of Waikiki from nearly 100 meters high! The feeling of flying over the deep blue sea was truly indescribable. The staff were all cheerful and playful, which helped ease our nerves, and we appreciated that.
