I heard that it's one of the most beautiful beaches on the island, so I just had to go. However, I was hesitant about renting a car, and public buses seemed like they would take a long time, so I ended up joining this tour. I highly recommend renting a bike for about $10 extra to enjoy Lanikai Beach and the town of Kailua. It's really refreshing, so I suggest it!
We arrived around 10 AM, so in the morning, we played a bit at Kailua Beach, which is within walking distance, and then rode our bikes to Lanikai Beach. After enjoying both beaches, we returned to Kailua Beach Park and indulged in a late lunch at Bob's Pizzeria. The portion size is quite large, with a quarter of a big pizza, and I recommend the garlic pizza with spinach and pepperoni.
After that, I quickly changed and rode my bike to the town of Kailua until the meeting time. I checked out Lanikai Juice and various shops.
One thing I regret is that there aren't many drinks available along the way, so it might be tough if you don't get some water before the tour meeting.
島の中でもとても綺麗なビーチと聞いて、とにかく行かなきゃ、と、でもレンタカーは億劫だし、公共バスは時間かかりそうだし、、と思いこのツアーに参加しちゃいました。とにかくおすすめは、1人追加で約10ドルするけど自転車借りてラニカイビーチやカイルアの街まで行ってこのあたりを満喫すること。とても気持ちいいのでおすすめです!
10時頃に現地に着くので、午前中は、歩いても行けるカイルアビーチで少し遊び、その後自転車でラニカイビーチへ。どちらもそれなりに満喫したら、カイルアビーチパークに戻りBob's Pizzeria で遅めのランチでピザを堪能。一人前が大きなピザ1/4分とかなり大きいですが、ほうれん草とペパロニのガーリックピザ、オススメです。
その後はざっと着替えて、集合時間までカイルアの街まで自転車で。ラニカイジュースやお店を色々覗いてまわりました。
1つ自分としての反省は、とにかく飲み物が途中であまりないので、ツアーの集合の前に水を調達して持って行ったりしないと、辛いかも、、です。

After arriving at the location, I tried to make a reservation for the ZipLine at Kualoa Ranch, but it was fully booked until my return date. Just when I was in trouble, I found this ZipLine at Keana Farm online and was able to make a reservation through VELTRA. There were hardly any Asian guests besides us, and the English-only service heightened the overseas experience even more.
現地入りしたあとに、クアロア牧場のZipLineの予約をしようとしたら帰国日までなんと満席で予約できず。困ったところにこのKeana FarmのZipLineをネットで見つけて、VELTRAさん経由で予約できました。
自分達意外にアジア人客がおらず、英語のみの対応で海外気分がより高まりました。

Snorkeling in Hawaii for the first time.
With excitement and nervousness, as I entered the water, it felt like a different world.
There were big fish and colorful tropical fish!
When I fed them bread for bait, I was surrounded by many fish.
It's a memory I'll cherish for a lifetime.
初めてのハワイにシュノーケリング。
ドキドキとワクワクの中で、

There were many types of water slides, and it was really fun. However, the ground was very hot, and I felt like I could get burned if I went barefoot. If I wore sandals, I would have to take them off when going on the slides, so I would be in trouble if I lost them... I wish I had brought some inexpensive sandals from a 100 yen shop that I wouldn't be sad to lose.
たくさんの種類のウォータースライダーがあってとても楽しかったです。でも地面がとても熱くて裸足だと火傷しそうでした。サンダルを履いて行くと、スライダーに乗るときは脱がなきゃいけないので無くなると困るし…ということで、100円ショップなどの安い無くなっても悲しくないサンダルを持っていけばよかったなと感じました。

I accidentally booked a tour with an English guide and was worried, but both the guide and the driver were kind, and I had a very enjoyable time. I went up to 90 meters, which was a sufficient height to get a beautiful view of Waikiki. Many people seemed to give a tip of $20 for two people.
間違って英語ガイドのツアーを予約してしまい不安でしたが、ガイドの方も運転手の方も優しく、とても楽しい時間を過ごせました。
90メートルにしましたが、十分な高さで、ワイキキの街が一望できとても綺麗でした。

I entered as soon as it opened and stayed until 3 PM, but time flew by.
It was relatively uncrowded, and almost all attractions had a wait time of around 15 minutes.
I think it's a place you should visit at least once when you come to Hawaii.
オープンと同時に入って3時まで滞在しましたが、あっという間に時間が過ぎました。
比較的すいていて、ほぼ全てのアトラクションが15範囲内の待ち時間でした。

This was my second time on the zip line! It was amazing! I want to go again so badly!
It started to rain (a downpour?) halfway through, and I got completely soaked, but it only lasted about 10 minutes before the sky cleared up again. Of course, I didn't have a raincoat or anything, so I was wet the whole time. It was so much fun that I thought, "Anything goes!"
However, there was a problem with the pickup location. Even though I arrived on time, it seemed like they decided I wasn't there right away, and I ended up waiting for 30 minutes. I had to call them to finally get picked up, which was good, but this happened both the first and second time, and it was really frustrating.
I would have appreciated it if they could have specified the location more clearly or called out names to help with the pickup.
If I get the chance to go again, I would definitely like to participate!
ジップライン2回目です!最高です!
本当にもう一回行きたい!と思えほど最高です。
途中で雨(スコール?)が降って来て、びしょ濡れになりましたが、10分くらい降ってすぐまた快晴になりました。
もちろん、カッパなどはありませんので、ま濡れながらです。楽しいので、なんでもありって思っちゃいます!!
ただ、ピックアップの場所の指定が難ありです。集合時間に着いているのに、すぐ居ないと判断されたみたいで、30分経ってもずーっと待ちぼうけでした。
こちらが電話をしてなんとか、迎えに来てもらえたのでよかったですが、1回目も2回目もそんな状況で、本当に困ります。
もう少し具体的に、場所を指定してもらったり、名前を読み上げてもらったり、そんな対応をして頂けたらもっと嬉しかったです。
また行ける機会があれば、是非参加したいです!

We went for a premium tour with a large submarine (65 seats). The windows are large but tinted and the view is therefore less clear. Aided by loads of sand that cannot settle by so many submarines' tours during each day, the visibility is really low. The tour includes views of two ship racks and some airplane racks that turned artificial coral reefs. All of this is on a sandy bottom and there is no fish in between the racks. So overall, very little is seen really on those tours. I fully support the decision not to disturb the natural reefs and fish habitats but I think that the tour is overpriced for what one can see on this tour.

This activity was okay. It was hard to see the dolphins when they did swim near us underwater because we had to wear life vests which kept us at the surface. The snorkeling in this side of the island(at least the part we were taken to)is not as good as other parts. The crew was nice and the food at the restaurant was good. I was not happy that one of our fellow passengers took one of our beach towels. They belonged to the condo we were staying in and I had to replace it.

The sweets and fruits were also tasty.

My wife and I recently moved to the island and chose this cruise as our first adventure here. The crew is great and extremely knowledgable and they make you feel comfortable on board. They took us on a solid tour up and down Waikiki beach. Amazing view and perfect weather. The bartender was awesome and made some great drinks. The prices were reasonable, especially considering what drinks cost in the Waikiki area. Buy the souvenir mug if you're looking for a deal. They can make you 16oz cocktails for the same price as the little drinks. If you're looking for a couple hours on the water and a few awesome drinks, this is the cruise for you.

I was disappointed when I requested arrangements from a travel agency at the last minute and was told it was too late. Fortunately, a friend introduced me to Veltra, and I managed to book a tour just in time. When I arrived at the destination, I went to the meeting point near the hotel. While waiting nervously among many tour participants, I spotted a bus with a sign for "Angel's Sea." After confirming the name, we headed to the boat dock. We boarded the boat and arrived at the sandy beach, where I snorkeled with many other Japanese tourists. After swimming for an hour, we went cruising to see turtles and encountered many of them. Finally, I put on fins and a life jacket to snorkel around the coral with children aged 6, 10, and 12. We were able to see tropical fish. The hamburgers they grilled for us at the barbecue were incredibly satisfying and delicious. I had a wonderful time and would love to go again.

The pickup bus did not arrive on time, and we had to wait quite a while. The bodyboarding lesson and lunch took up a lot of time, leaving us with little opportunity to enjoy the attractions freely. Honestly, the BBQ lunch wasn't extravagant, and we could have just bought hamburgers and hot dogs on-site. The pool is open until 5 PM, but the return bus gathering was at 3 PM. I think it would be better to go by rental car next time.

During the canoe surfing tour you participated in, our local staff strives to ensure that customers can ride the waves at least twice and enjoy the tour. Depending on the conditions of the day, it is possible to ride more than twice, but we determined that two rides were appropriate based on the conditions on that day. We will work with the operating company to improve the explanation of the tour on-site.
