We went parasailing for our honeymoon with my husband for the first time! Everyone else participating was a foreigner, but they all friendly talked to us and we took pictures of each other. Most of the explanations were in English, but important points were explained with gestures and in Japanese. The instructor was also very lively, shaking the ropes and playfully dropping us into the sea, which made it a lot of fun. Since it was our honeymoon, the instructor kindly celebrated with everyone at the end.
I was a bit confused about where to go before and after the ride, but there was a natural flow, so I just followed everyone.
There was no waiting time, and the view of the sea and Diamond Head from above is a must-see!

ほとんど英語の説明ですが、大事なところはジェスチャーや
日本語で説明してくれます。
インストラクターの方もノリがよくロープを揺らしたり
海に少し落とされたりすごく楽しめました。

I participated on September 16. The weather was clear, and the waves were calm, making it a perfect day for cruising. Although I was worried about seasickness, sitting at the front of the boat on the net, feeling the wind and waves, made those worries disappear.
When the captain guided us to a pod of spinner dolphins, I was even more excited! The staff explained that the name "spinner" comes from their jumping spins. Although I couldn't capture the dolphins jumping repeatedly on camera, their images are etched in my memory. During snorkeling at a different location, I was able to see tropical fish and sea turtles. The staff, who were fluent in Japanese, were very considerate and made the experience even more enjoyable.
If I had to mention one downside, it would be that the waiting time for the bus transfer and cruising was a bit long, which felt somewhat inefficient.
9月16日に参加しました。当日は快晴、波もおだやかで、絶好のクルージング日和でした。船酔いを心配していたものの、船の先頭のネットの上に座り込み、風と波を受けながら進めば、そんな心配も吹き飛びました。
船長の案内で、ハシナガイルカの群れを見つけたときは、更に大興奮!英語でスピナーと呼ばれる由来が、スピンしながらのジャンプだとスタッフが教えてくれました。私達に見せてくれるかのように、何度も何度もジャンプしてくれるイルカの姿はカメラに収めることは出来ませんでしたが、目に焼きついています。場所を移してのシュノーケリングでは、熱帯魚と海がめを見ることができました。日本語堪能なスタッフが色々気遣ってくれ、また、盛り上げてくれ、本当に楽しいツアーでした。
一つだけ難点を挙げるとすれば、バスでの送迎とクルージングとの待ち時間が長く、少し非効率だと思いました。

This was my first trip to the island of Kauai, and I must say I fell in love with the island. The people are much more relaxed than Honolulu, and the sceneries were just beautiful. Waimea Canyon was definitely the highlight of this trip, and I'm glad that I was able to see the "Grand Canyon of the Pacific". The breathtaking view of the art of the mother nature is worth every penny. The Wailua River Cruise was very nice, and the Smith family did such a wonderful job entertaining us on the boat and at the Fern Grotto. We thoroughly enjoyed their hospitality. This is definitely recommended if you are only staying on O'ahu, and want to see Kauai for a day.

I was filled with excitement!
As for the experience, after setting sail, we were hurried into the sea with "Hurry, hurry!!"
The local staff guided us with "Right! Left! Down!" and when we looked in those directions, there were so many dolphins!
When the dolphins swam away, we got back on the boat and moved to another spot. (This time we went into the sea three times.)
We then moved to the next spot.
We swam with fish and sea turtles. It was a canoe experience.
After about 40 minutes of fun, we docked while eating cheeseburgers.
On land, we had a hula experience for about 30 minutes.
The water clarity wasn't very high, but there were so many dolphins right in front of us, almost like a video!
I could hear the dolphins communicating!
Dolphins jumped right in front of us!
I was lucky enough to see two sea turtles up close, within touching distance!
I don't think the price was high considering the experience.
All the staff were kind, the driving was safe, and I was able to sleep well on the way back. I felt fulfilled and would love to participate again!
I want to take my future children along someday!
I highly recommend this to everyone!

On September 11th, my husband and I participated in this activity. I thought the ocean in Hawaii was beautiful, but I didn't realize just how stunning it could be. Despite going by cruiser, the clarity of the water was amazing; you could see the bottom! Unlike the seas in Japan, there were no seaweed or kelp floating around, and there was no distinct ocean smell.
There were beautiful fish (tropical fish!) and we even got to see sea turtles. We were told that we might not see dolphins, but we encountered two groups of them, and we were able to watch them jump and spin like in a show. Dolphins are so cute! I was truly thrilled!
I really felt that coming to Hawaii was the right choice. It was my first time snorkeling, but I was taught carefully, and since I could borrow a life jacket, I was able to enjoy it even though I'm not a strong swimmer. It was also reassuring to have Japanese staff join us in the water.
9/11に夫婦で参加させていただきました。
キレイだと思っていたハワイの海が、こんなにもキレイだとは思っていませんでした。クルーザーで行くところにもかかわらず、海の底が見える透明感がスゴイ!!日本の海みたいに、ワカメやこんぶが浮いていないし、海独特の匂いもしないんです。
キレイなお魚(熱帯魚~)もいるし、ウミガメも見ることができました。見れない場合もあるといわれていたイルカは、2つの群に遭遇することができ、まるで、ショーのようにスピンしながらジャンプする姿も見ることができました。
イルカかわいい!もう、大感激!!
ほんとに、ハワイに来てよかったねーって実感できました。
シュノーケルは初めてでしたが、丁寧に教えてもらえたし、ライフジャケットも借りられたので、泳ぎが苦手な私でも楽しめました♪日本語スタッフが一緒に海に入ってくれたのも、安心できました。

I absolutely recommend this. My daughter and I participated together. We arrived at Kona Marina in 45 minutes from Waikiki, and it felt luxurious, like we were the owners of the yacht harbor we see on TV. We boarded the boat with a handsome young man, a dandy captain, and a cute Hawaiian girl guiding us. Coffee, tea, water, and canned drinks were all-you-can-drink. The tour guide mentioned that encountering dolphins was not guaranteed, so I thought it would be okay if we didn't see any. However, within 10 minutes, we heard "dolphins" and rushed to the bow, where a pod of dolphins was swimming, including a mother and baby dolphin swimming closely together. The boat kept a respectful distance as we watched, and while learning that dolphins are nocturnal and swim while sleeping during the day, they jumped and spun in the air. I only had my camera, so I missed the shutter chance since they didn't announce when they would jump, but bringing a video camera would be a good idea.
Next, we challenged ourselves to snorkel. After receiving instructions, we headed into the sea, but I struggled with breathing and ended up sputtering. I finally got the hang of it and looked into the water at a depth of 6 meters, where the Hawaiian girl guided us to a spot where sea turtles were likely to be. We saw five sea turtles swimming! Then, we heard from the boat, "Dolphins are here," and when we looked into the water, there was a dolphin swimming right next to us. We could hear the dolphin's "pee" sound. My daughter and I popped our heads up to signal that we saw it. She asked the Hawaiian girl if she could try diving, so she took off her snorkel and fins, exhaled, and tried free diving. After a few attempts, she struggled to go deeper and felt pain in her ears, so she gave up. The Hawaiian girl demonstrated free diving quite deeply.
For some reason, that day, there were only three of us snorkeling: my daughter, myself, and another girl from Seattle, so we could enjoy it leisurely. Others on the boat were watching us. After that, we had breakfast on the boat, which included chicken, bread, salad, fruit, yogurt, and muffins, and it was all very delicious. I decided that I definitely want to snorkel again next time. Thank you so much, Alan1. I had a truly meaningful time.
絶対絶対オススメです。娘と二人で参加しました。
ワイキキから45分でコナマリーナに到着、テレビで見るようなヨットハーバーまるで自分たちがオーナーであるかのようなリッチな気分で船に乗り込み、イケメン風のお兄さんとダンディなボーン船長とキュートでかわいいハワイ娘の3人が案内してくれます。コーヒー・紅茶・水に缶ジュースは飲み放題です。ツアーの案内にイルカとの遭遇は確約ではありませんと書いてあったので、会えなくても仕方ないかぁと思っていたら、10分もしないうちに「イルカ」という声で船首に出てみるとイルカの群れが泳いでいました、親子イルカまでいます、親子仲良く離れずに泳いでいます、船はつかず離れずで進んでいきます、イルカは夜行性で昼間は寝ながら泳いでいると説明を聞きながら見ていると、空中に飛び3回転スピン・2回転スピンをしてくれました、カメラしかもっていなかったので、今から飛ぶぞと言ってくれない為、シャターチャンスは見逃しましたが、ビデオを持っていくといいですよ。さあいよいよシュノーケルに挑戦、説明を受けいざ海へ、息の吸う吐くがうまくいかず、げぼげぼ、こつをつかみ水深6mの海の中をのぞいてみる、海がめのいそうなスポットへハワイ娘が案内してくれます、海がめが泳いでいる、しかも5頭もいるではないですか、そして船から「イルカがきたよ」との合図に海の中をのぞく、すぐ横にイルカが泳いでいる、「ピー」というイルカの声が聞こえる、娘と二人顔を出して、見たの合図、娘はもぐってみたいとハワイ娘におねだり、シュノーケルをはずし、足ひれをはずし空気をぬいて、素もぐり、うまく沈まない、2.3回トライ少し深くもぐって耳が痛いと断念、ハワイ娘は、素もぐりでかなり深く沈んで手本を見せてくれていました。なぜかこの日はシュノーケルをする人が私と娘ともう1人シアトルから来た娘さんと3人だったので、ゆったりと楽しむことができました。他の人たちは船から、私達をウォチングしていました。その後は船のなか、チキン.パン.サラダ.フルーツ.ヨーグルト.マフインの朝食、とってもおいしかったです。次回も絶対シュノーケルをしたいと心に決めた日でした。Alan1ちゃん本当にありがとうございました。とっても有意義に過ごすことができました。

It was an absolute pleasure spending the day w/these guys, they were extremely hospitable, made sure we had something to drink as soon as we borded, made sure everyone was entertained and that nobody had empty plates in there hands. There were 2 locations, the first was the sand bar where you could either play volley ball or you can have a practice run with your snorkle gear, we opted for snorkeling even tho there really werent any fish but we managed to keep ourselves occupied. The water is gorgeous! After re-bording the Barefoot I, they had a nice lunch spread out for us, and you can purchase beers for i think about 4 bux a pop. We then moved on to our next location which was a reef, it was the best snorkeling experience i've had, lots of fish, caves, a sea turtle & an octopus (which i didnt get to see), it seemed that we got to spend alot of time in the water which was really kewl! On the way back, the driver was pointing out movie locations and stuff, such as Gilligan's Island

Wow, so cute! I was really nervous about holding onto the dolphin's fin, but dolphins are so smart. They make it easy for someone like me who isn't very good at this, and they go nice and slow. I was worried about being second in line to kiss the dolphin, but that turned out to be totally fine. First, I supported the dolphin's face with both hands and pressed it against my cheek for a photo, then I gave it a kiss while looking at the camera. Next, I held onto the dolphin's fin for a belly ride, swimming all the way to the middle of the deeper pool, but since I was wearing a life jacket, it was all good! The feeling of the dolphin's belly is something you have to experience for yourself. It feels amazing! Of course, I bought the photos; they were a bit pricey, but they really make for a great keepsake, and I even got a frame set.
As for the important stuff, you can bring your valuables to the poolside, so that's reassuring. Wear your swimsuit there, take it off on-site, and put on the life jacket to go. Afterward, you can rinse off with a water shower while still in your swimsuit and change in the changing room. No worries at all! A Japanese person provides explanations and translations from a distance, so make sure to listen carefully! There were also baby dolphins swimming around, which were adorable. I participated in the 10 AM session, and I think I got on the bus to go back around 1:15 PM. I was able to see the dolphin show, and you can eat at the Sea Lion Café. Even though it's called a café, it's just an open terrace, but they serve light snacks like chili dogs and iced café lattes. You can definitely fill up and enjoy yourself. Touching such cute dolphins up close was the best! There was a girl with really long acrylic nails, and I hope she considers that they might hurt the dolphins.

I was drawn to the spiritual concept of "Dolphin & You" and decided to participate.
When I first encountered the dolphins, unfortunately, the timing didn't align for us to swim together, and I was starting to think, "Am I really going to have to go home like this?" However, the leader, Yuriko, and the staff were persistent in their search, and we finally encountered a large pod of dolphins! Just a few inches below me, pairs of baby dolphins and their mothers were swimming! We swam alongside them for a while. Even though I couldn't catch up, they kept coming back, as if they were coming to play with us. There were dolphins winking as they crossed right in front of me and others showcasing impressive spins... they were full of playfulness. I was truly moved.
Additionally, the cheerful staff and Yuriko's engaging talks and attentiveness kept us entertained every second, making me feel like it was "a professional job." I was able to interact with locals, enjoy a homemade lunch with a mini show, and even learn hula from a well-known local teacher. It was all very thoughtful. I felt that the performance was of high quality, well-structured, and based on respect for Hawaiian culture and nature. Given the price, it was definitely not expensive. Thank you, "Dolphin & You"!
「ドルフィン&ユー」さんのスピリチュアルなコンセプトに惹かれて参加しました。
最初にイルカたちに遭遇したときは、残念ながら一緒に泳ぐタイミングが合わず、「もうこれで帰っちゃうのか・・仕方ないかな」と諦めかけていたのですが、リーダーのYurikoさんやスタッフの方たちが粘り強く探してくださって、ついにイルカの大きな群れと遭遇!
自分のほんの数十センチ下を、赤ちゃんイルカとお母さんイルカのペアが、何組も泳いでいます!しばらく平行して泳ぎました。追いつけなくても彼らは繰り返しやってきて、まるで遊びに来てくれているようでした。ウィンクしながら目の前を横切るイルカさんや、見事なスピンを披露してくれるイルカさんも・・彼らは遊び心いっぱいでした。心から感激しました。
それ以外にも、陽気なスタッフと、客を1秒たりとも退屈させないYurikoさんのトークや気配りは、「プロの仕事だなあ」と感じさせました。ローカルの方と触れ合え、お手製ランチにミニshow、現地では有名なフラの先生にフラを習うことができ、至れり尽くせり。ハワイの文化や自然へのリスペクトを基本にしながら、内容も構成も全体によく練られた上質のパフォーマンスであると感じました。これでこの値段は、決して高くはありません。

We gathered at the school office and practiced how to stand on a surfboard. After that, we each took two surfboards and walked across the street to the beach, immediately getting into the water and following the instructor. As someone who doesn't exercise much, I was already exhausted by this point. I desperately followed the instructor's commands of "Paddle!" and "Stand up!" By the end of the day, all participants were able to stand on their boards. It felt truly refreshing to glide through the wind. I'm really glad I participated. One downside was that the ocean floor was covered in rocks and corals. When I got back to the hotel and looked at my feet, I found many scrapes and was bleeding. (laughs) I think it would be good to take some precautions for that.
スクール事務所に集合して、簡単にサーフボードの上にどうやって立つのかを練習後、二人で2枚づつサーフボードを持って道を渡ってビーチまで歩き、即水に入って先生の後についてこいでいきます。運動不足の私はこのあたりで既にへとへとでした。先生の「こいで!」「立って!」の声にあわせて、後は必死。その日の参加者はすぐに全員板の上に立つことができました。風を切って進むときは本当に爽快です。本当に参加してよかったです。一つだけ、難点は、海の底が岩?サンゴ?だらけでした。ホテルに帰って足を見たらたくさんの擦り傷から流血していました。(笑)何か対策をしてゆくと良いと思います。

I participated in the premium tour. It was relaxing and enjoyable. I sat in the front, and my 8-year-old child was thrilled to be doted on by the guide. The program we received at the reception included a list with pictures of fish, and my child particularly enjoyed checking off the fish they saw. There were comments about the staff chatting amongst themselves being noisy, but I didn't mind it at all. Cold air was coming from below, so it was chilly at my feet. If you're sensitive to the cold, it would be good to bring leg warmers or something similar. The company's website has a diving map, and I aimed for the right side, which supposedly passes by the wrecks more often, but the course changes depending on the sea currents that day, so it ultimately depends on luck. The pilot tries to be fair to both sides, but it felt like the left side had a slight advantage during our trip. It might be a "grass is greener on the other side" feeling. This tour is definitely worth experiencing at least once. Also, since the boarding area is located within the Hilton Hawaiian Village, it's very convenient for guests staying at the hotel. It would be nice if there were discounts for not needing transportation, but unfortunately, that benefit is not available.
プレミアムツァーに参加しました。ゆったりとしていて良かったですよ。一番前に座ったのですが、8歳の子供が解説の係員のお兄さんにかわいがってもらい大喜びでした。受付でもらったプログラムに魚の図入りリストが掲載されており、特に子供が見えた魚をチェックして楽しんでいました。係員同士の私語がうるさいというコメントがありますが、全く気になりませんでした。足元から冷風が出てくるので足元は寒いです。冷え性の方はレッグウォーマーなどを持っていくといいでしょう。同社のHPに潜行マップが載っていて、右側の方が沈没物の横を通る回数が多いと狙ったのですが、当日の海流によって進路を変えるそうで、結局は当日の運次第。パイロットはどちらにも公平になるように操縦してくれますが、乗艦回は左側がやや優勢だった感じ。「となりの芝生」的な感覚かも。一度は体験してみる価値があるツアーです。なお、ヒルトン・ハワイアン・ビレッジの敷地内に乗場があるので、同ホテルの宿泊客にはアクセスが大変便利です。送迎が必要ない分、割引があってもよさそうですが、残念ながらその特典はありません。

I signed up for a tour because submarines can't be ridden in Japan, and my child wanted to try it. We traveled by boat to the location of the submarine, but due to lack of sleep, I ended up getting seasick even though the waves were calm. I recommend taking motion sickness medication for those who are prone to getting sick. However, once we were on the submarine, there was hardly any rocking, so my nausea subsided, and I was able to enjoy watching the seabed. I was satisfied to see sharks and swimming turtles on the ocean floor.
潜水艦は、日本では乗れないし、子供も乗ってみたいと言うのでツアーに申し込みしました。船で潜水艦の場所まで移動するのですが寝不足もあって波が穏やかなのに酔ってしまいました。乗り物に弱い方は、酔い止めの服用をお勧めします。しかし潜水艦に乗るとほとんど揺れなかったので酔いも収まり楽しんで海底を見る事が出来ました。海底でサメを見たり泳いでる亀を見る事ができ満足でした。

You might think of Hawaii as a place by the sea, but I highly recommend this (it might even be the BEST of this trip...). All the attractions are extraordinary and incredibly dynamic, far beyond what you can imagine in Japan. In the wave pool, the waves can reach 2 meters, which could pose a drowning risk even for adults... I wonder if such regulations would be too strict in Japan? Basically, overseas, the mindset seems to be that if someone drowns, it's their own fault; it's all about personal responsibility. If you go with the image of a Japanese theme park, you'll be pleasantly surprised in a good way (laughs). You can easily spend a whole day here, but it's definitely worth the fun. Also, as someone else mentioned, when riding the Shaka attraction, be sure to lift your butt off the seat. Your swimsuit will definitely tear, and you might end up with some skin irritation. Be careful!
海のあるハワイでとは思われますでしょうが、これはお勧めです(ひょっとして、今回の旅行でBEST1かも・・・)すべてのアトラクションが桁外れで日本では考えられない程ダイナミックです。波のあるプールでは2m級の波で大人の人でも溺れる可能性があるのでは・・・。日本では規制がうるさいので無理なのかな?基本的に海外では溺れる者が悪い、すべては自己管理してくださいねという考え何でしょうね。日本のテーマパークのイメージで出掛けると、いい意味で期待を裏切られますよ(笑)1日使っちゃいますが、使うだけの楽しさはありますよ。それと、別の方も書き込みしていらっしゃいましたがシャカという乗り物を乗るときは必ずお尻を浮かせてください。確実に水着が破れ、お尻の皮がめくれます。要注意を!!
