Oahu
The horses were quite large, and I was nervous at first, but I gradually got used to it and was able to enjoy both the horseback riding and the surrounding scenery. The guide was very supportive and incredibly cute, which made the experience enjoyable throughout. Each horse had its own personality; mine was very smart, as it was in the lead, my son's horse was a glutton and a bit impatient, my husband's horse was the calmest and most experienced, and my daughter's horse was quite laid-back. After the horseback riding, we had a lively discussion about the horses. My son, who rode the gluttonous horse, was desperately trying to control the reins to stop its appetite, and he ended up with blisters on his hands!
By the way, I had no time to take photos, which is my only regret. The tour itself was wonderful, allowing us to fully enjoy the beautiful scenery of both the sea and the mountains.
Additionally, the Kualoa Burger ($15) we had at the attached cafeteria was exquisite. I regretted not bringing a light jacket because the shuttle bus was quite air-conditioned. The lockers ($5) were convenient as they allowed for all-day access, and credit card payments were accepted. You can bring a water bottle or smartphone in a bag attached to the horse, but there’s no time to drink slowly. Photos can only be taken with one hand, so balance is essential—no dropping allowed.
Our schedule was efficient with a 10 AM pickup, horseback riding at 12:30 PM, and a bus departing at 3:45 PM. However, since there’s a beach within walking distance, I’d like to allow more time to visit it next time. The buggies also looked interesting, so I’d like to try those as well. The burger is a must for next time!
お馬さんがかなり大きくて初めは緊張しましたが徐々に慣れて乗馬も周りの景色も楽しむ余裕が出てきました。ガイドのお姉さんが一生懸命サポートしてくれましたし、とってもキュートな方だったので終始楽しかったです。お馬さんはそれぞれ個性があって、私のお馬さんは先頭を任されるだけあってとても賢い子、息子はその後ろで食いしん坊でせっかちなお馬さん、パパの馬は一番落ち着いててベテランな感じ、娘のお馬さんはかなりののんびり屋さん。乗馬が終わってからもお馬さん談義に花が咲きました。特に食いしん坊なお馬さんに乗っていた息子は彼の食欲を止めるのに手綱を必死で操り手にマメができました笑
ちなみに写真を撮る余裕は私には全くなく、唯一の心残りです。ツアー自体は景色は海も山も自然を大満喫できて素晴らしかったです。
その他
併設のカフェテリアで食べたクアロアバーガー($15)は絶品でした。
送迎バスはかなりエアコンがきいてたので羽織ものを持っていけばよかったと後悔しました。
ロッカー($5)は1日開閉自由なので便利だと思います。クレジットカード払い可。
お馬さんに付けるバッグにペットボトルやスマホを入れて持っていけるけれどゆっくり飲む時間はないです。写真も片手で撮れる方のみ。バランス必須。落とすの厳禁。
我が家は10時pickup、乗馬12時半予約、15時45分発バスで無駄がないスケジュールでしたが、歩いていけるところにビーチがあるので、今度行くときはもう少し時間に余裕を持たせてビーチまで足を伸ばしたいなと思いました。バギーも面白そうだったのでそちらもやってみたいです。バーガーは次回も欠かせません。
The food was delicious, and the show was amazing! I was satisfied to enjoy a welcome Mai Tai along with the meal. The show was full of excitement, and both parents and children could enjoy it together. I recommend taking a commemorative photo with the cast after the show as well.
料理も美味しかったし、ショーも最高でした!
料理と一緒にウェルカムマイタイも頂けて、満足です。
ショーは迫力満点で、親子で楽しめました。
ショーの後もキャストと記念撮影もできるのでおすすめです。

All the staff were very warm and welcoming. The show had many highlights, and I felt it was a good decision to book the tour. The location was also easy to find, as it was inside the Royal Hawaiian Center, which was great in terms of accessibility.
スタッフの方々全員がとてもあたたかくもてなしてくれました。ショーも見所が多く、ツアーを申し込んで良かったと思いました。場所もロイヤルハワイアンセンターの中とわかり易かったので、立地面でも良かったです。

I did get a bit seasick along the way, but I was able to see the seabed, and I was surprised to find fish in such deep waters. If I have the chance again, I would love to do it again.
途中船酔いもしましたが、海底を見ることができて
そんな深いところに魚もいるなんてビックリしました。また機会があったらよろしくお願いします
アロハ!

We participated in a two-hour horseback riding experience with three family members. The pickup was a bit early at 7:30 AM, but it was quite popular, with two large buses completely full (a group of people going to Kualoa Ranch, not just for horseback riding).
Upon arrival, the Japanese group gathered with a Japanese staff member who explained the starting procedures, shops, and restrooms. We were informed that only a waist bag could be worn while riding (backpacks are not allowed; smartphones and drinks can be placed in a bag attached to the saddle), so we needed to use a locker. However, when I tried to pay with a card, the touch sensor was overly sensitive, and I couldn't complete the transaction, but the Japanese staff member helped me out. In the end, I paid with cash... $5 felt a bit steep.
After that (from here, it was in English), we reviewed the safety instructions, signed a consent form, watched a Japanese explanation video, and then began riding. I had never done proper horseback riding before, but the horses were smart and moved in a single file. My elementary school daughter had no trouble at all.
We walked slowly through the forest and entered the world of Jurassic World. Besides horseback riding, there were buggies, buses, and bicycles, but the horses leisurely moved through the backyard where those vehicles couldn't go. So, the buggy group looked like a gang of speeders!
Honestly, I didn't remember much about Jurassic World, but the weather was nice, and the scenery was magnificent and beautiful, which was moving. The horseback riding didn't cover all the filming locations of the movie, so for those who want to visit the filming sites, I think it's better to join a dedicated tour (by bus?).
The two hours flew by! The horse I rode, Dino, was a bit crazy and often stopped or tried to turn around, but it was still very comfortable. Each horse has its own personality.
As expected, when getting off the horse, my legs didn't move well, and I felt a bit wobbly. My backside was a little sore too! We had lunch before the return bus, but surprisingly, there wasn't much time.
While I thought a buggy ride would be nice next time, the scenery and atmosphere while horseback riding was truly an exceptional experience, so I would love to go again.
家族3人で2時間の乗馬体験に参加しました。
朝7:30と少し早いピックアップでしたが、大型バス2台が満員の人気振り。
(乗馬に限らずクアロアランチに行く人達の集団)
到着すると日本人グループは日本人スタッフの方に着いて集合し、それぞれの開始方法やお店、トイレの説明をしてもらえます。
乗馬はウエストバッグしか付けられない(リュックとかはダメ。スマホや飲み物は鞍に付けられる袋を借りて入れられます)とのことで、ロッカーに入れる必要があるんですが、カードで払おうとするとタッチセンサーの感度がよすぎてうまく払えなく、ここも日本人スタッフの方がお手伝いしてくれました。結局、紙幣で払ったんですが・・・。5ドルはちょっと高いな。
その後(ここからは英語)注意事項を見て、同意のサインして、日本語の説明ビデオを見て乗馬開始。
ちゃんとした乗馬したことはなかったんですが、お馬さんはかしこいのでちゃんと1列で進んでくれます。小学生の娘でも全然平気。
ゆっくり歩いて森の中を進み、ジュラシックワールドの世界へ。
乗馬以外にバギーやバス、自転車が走っていますが、馬はそれらが入れないバックヤードをのんびり進んでいきます。なのでバギー隊が暴走族に見えますw
正直ジュラシックワールドはあんまり覚えてなかったですがw、天気もよく、景色が壮大で綺麗だったので感動しました。
乗馬は映画のロケ地を全部回る訳ではなかったので、ロケ地巡りがしたい方はそれ専用のツアー(バス?)に行かれた方がいいと思います。
2時間はあっという間!
私の乗った馬、ディノ君はクレージーだったらしく、よく立ち止まったり、Uターンしようとしたりしましたが、全然快適でした。個性ありますよね。
お約束は馬から降りるときに足がうまく動かず、がくっとなります。おしりも少し痛いw
帰りのバスまではお昼ご飯食べてましたが、意外と時間は少なかったです。
次はバギーもいいなと思いつつ、乗馬しながらのあの景色、雰囲気は本当に格別な体験だったのでまた行きたいと思いました。
We had a great time with Micky. My family and I enjoyed our first snorkeling experience in Hawaii.
We participated in the Thursday evening show after searching for various options at the request of my child who wanted to see a fire dance. There were some Japanese attendees, but the majority were foreigners.
The venue was about 60% full, and even though we arrived about 10 minutes before the show started, we were able to sit quite close to the front. The seating was not reserved, so it was first come, first served.
I looked into other tours as well, but since the fire dance itself only lasts about 5 minutes out of the total show time of over an hour, I chose this tour because it seemed to have a structure that would keep us entertained without getting bored.
In addition to the Hawaiian-themed show, the singing and dancing performances by impersonators of Michael Jackson and Elvis Presley were spectacular, and even though I wasn't a big fan of theirs, I enjoyed it very much.
There was also an announcement that photography during the show was allowed, and everyone was taking pictures and videos all around. After the show, the performers, including Michael and Presley, came out to the lobby for individual photos and handshakes.
Many young foreigners in their teens and twenties were also asking for photos and handshakes, which made me feel once again the greatness of Michael and Presley. It was an affordable show that was highly enjoyable even for those who are not fans, and it exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend it!
ファイヤーダンスを見たいとの子供のリクエストでいろいろ探した上で木曜日夜の部に参加。日本人もいたが、大半の参加者は外国人だった。
会場内は6割くらいの入りで、開演10分くらい前の入場だったが結構前の席に座ることができた。席は指定ではなく、早い者勝ちの様子。
他のツアーも調べたが全体1時間超のショー時間のうちファイヤーダンス自体は5分程度なので、飽きることなく楽しめそうな構成のものということでこのツアーを選択。
ハワイアンなショーに加え、マイケルジャクソンとエルビスプレスリーのそっくりさんによる歌とダンスパートが圧巻で、特に彼らのファンでもなかったがとても楽しめた。
またショーの撮影もokとアナウンスあり、みんなそこかしこで写真や動画撮影をしていた。
終了後、マイケルやプレスリーら出演者がロビーに出てきて個別撮影や握手に応じてくれた。
外国人の10〜20代くらいの若者も多くが写真や握手を求めており、改めてマイケルやプレスリーの偉大さを感じさせた。
手頃な値段で特にファンでなくても大いに楽しめた、予想以上に楽しめるおすすめのショーだった。
Thank you very much for attending the Rockafella Rockin' Show with your child. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed the performances of Elvis, Michael, and the Hawaiian show. We also appreciate your positive feedback. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you back when you visit Hawaii again.
この度はロッカフラ ロッキンショーにお子様と共にご来場頂きまして、誠に有難うございます。エルビスやマイケルそして、ハワイアンショーなど楽しめて頂けたご様子で、私共も大変嬉しく思っております。ポジティブな口コミも有難うございます。またハワイにお越しの際には、ご来場頂けますよう、スタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げます。
I reserved the beginner course starting at 9:30. The overall explanation upon arrival was handled by staff who spoke Japanese. After that, we split into different tour groups, and from there, all communication was in English. However, the instructions for riding the bicycle were provided in a video with Japanese subtitles, so there were no particular issues.
The bicycles were equipped with electric assist, providing enough power, but since the terrain was quite rough, it required careful riding, which was somewhat tiring. There were breaks approximately every 15 minutes, and we stopped at scenic spots for photos.
The day we participated was clear, so there were no problems, but if it rained, the bicycles, which lacked mudguards, would likely cause a lot of mud splatter. I didn't need to change clothes at all.
Although it mentioned that tips were separate, no one in our group, which included foreigners, gave any. After the 2-hour tour, we had lunch and checked out souvenirs at the facility before taking the 1:00 PM bus back. There were almost no facilities for strolling or passing the time inside, so I think the reserved time was the best.
Please note that JCB is not accepted at the facility, so be careful.
9:30〜の初級者コースを予約。
到着後の全体説明は日本語話せるスタッフが担当してくれた。その後は各参加ツアーごとに分かれるがそこからは日本語一切なしのやり取りに。ただし自転車の乗り方などは日本語字幕付きのビデオなので特に困ることはない。
自転車は電動アシスト付きでパワーも十分だが、それなりの悪路なので結構慎重な運転が続くためまぁまぁ疲れる。休憩は15分おきくらいにあり、景色の良い撮影スポットで止まってくれる。
我々の参加した日は快晴だったので問題なかったが、雨だと泥除けのない自転車なので泥跳ねがすごそう。着替えも全く必要なかった。
チップ別とあったが外国人も含む我々のグループでは誰も渡していなかった。
2時間のツアー後、施設内でランチ&お土産チェックをしてから13:00のバスで帰路に。施設内には散策や時間潰せるような設備はほぼないため、今回の予約時間がベストタイムと思う。
なお施設内ではJCBが使えないので要注意。
I had a wonderful experience. If I understood English... it would have been incredibly fun ❤️ However, there were two Japanese staff members, so I didn't have any trouble on-site.
素敵な体験ができました。
英語がわかれば…最高に最高に楽しいと思います❤️ですが、日本語スタッフさんが2人いたので、現地で困ることはなかったです。
I have participated before, but the sandbar wasn't very prominent, and it was disappointing because it looked different from the photos... I wonder if it was the wrong time of day...
前にも参加したことあるのですが、サンドバーがあまり出ていなくて、写真と違うので残念でした…時間帯が悪かったのかな…
this was really fun with a lot of photo ops during, we loved this day to explore the gorgeous valley of Kualoa!
Delish dinner with great view points out your window the whole night!
Quick easy pick up and drop off, the tour guide does not go in the park with you however!
Lots of new things learned at my stop to the Pearl Harbor grounds! The tour guide as well detailed a lot of useful information to and from the grounds
The buggy experience itself was amazing! However, I got caught in a sudden downpour and ended up soaking wet (laughs). They sell ponchos at the shop, but they're really basic, so I strongly recommend bringing your own poncho from Japan if you're planning to participate. You never know when or where a downpour might happen. Also, you will get really dirty, so I highly recommend wearing dark-colored clothes.
バギー体験自体は最高!ただ、突然のスコールにみまわれたため、びしょ濡れ(笑)ポンチョが売店に売ってるけど、本当に簡易的なので、参加予定の人は日本のポンチョの持参を強くおすすめします。スコールはいつどこで起こるか本当に解らないので。また、めちゃめちゃ汚れます。そのため、黒ベースの服を着ていくことを強くお勧めします。
First of all, for those going in March, it can get really cold when the wind blows, so I highly recommend bringing hotel towels. As someone from a competitive swimming background, I regret only bringing a swim towel (laughs).
Also, lunch options are really limited to a simple slice of pizza or a hot dog, which might not be enough for adults. However, you're only allowed to bring one unopened bottle of water into the park, so it can't be helped. You don't need to rent a cabana since there are free shaded chair areas available, so I think you can skip that. But if you're not going right when the park opens, it might be safer to rent one. Usually, these tours include transportation and arrive at the venue before opening, so you can typically secure a spot, so I guess there's no need to worry (laughs).
Also, not all attractions are open, so be careful about that. Flip-flops are recommended over water shoes. (However, since you ride attractions barefoot, if you're concerned about walking on hot surfaces, aqua shoes are a good option.)
Additionally, each attraction has height restrictions. Most of the time, they don't measure, but occasionally, there might be someone from the main office (wearing a polo shirt, beige shorts, and holding a walkie-talkie) who will measure your height strictly, and if you're even a little short, they won't hesitate to make you get off (laughs). When I went with my first-grade daughter, the first time we got on, we were allowed without any height measurement because it was a part-time worker, but the second time, we got caught by that person and were told she was a bit too short, so we had to get off. Even when I explained it was our second time, it didn't help.
There is a small pool for little kids, but even though it says "Not Ice," it's still pretty cold (laughs). There’s also a mini water slide, but you basically have to slide down alone, so for kids who can't slide by themselves, it might just be cold for them. The prices are definitely not cheap, so I probably won't go again. There are coin lockers available for free access, but they cost between $15 and $20, and while there are showers, they only have cold water. It might be better to think that there are no hot water showers anywhere in Hawaii. Given that, I think the pool might be a bit harsh for small children.
まず、3月に行く方は風が吹くとめちゃ寒いため、必ずホテルのタオルを持っていくことをおすすめします。競泳出身者なので、セームのみ持っていったことに後悔(笑)
また、昼食は本当に簡易的なピザ1ピースかホットドッグのため、大人は物足りないかも。ただ、園内への持ち込みは、未開封の水1本なので仕方ないかな。ガバナは借りなくても無料の日陰付きのチェアエリアに行けるので選択しなくても良いと思います。ただ、オープンと同時に行く人で無いなら借りておいた方が無難。でも、大抵こういったツアーは送迎付きでオープン前には現地についているので、大抵は場所取り出来るのでやっぱり心配ないかな(笑)また、アトラクションは全てやっているわけではないので注意。マリンシューズよりもビーサンの方がおすすめ。(でも、裸足でアトラクションには乗るので、歩く場所が裸足で暑くて心配な方はアクアシューズがおすすめ。)
あとは、それぞれのアトラクションには身長制限があって、大抵は測られないで行けるんだけど、たまに本部の人?(ポロシャツ着て、ベージュの短パン履いてトランシーバー持っている人)がアトラクションに居ると、めっちゃしっかり身長測られて少しでも足りないと容赦なく降ろされます(笑)小1娘と乗ったときも、一回目はバイトのお兄ちゃんだったからか何も身長測られずすんなり乗れたのに、2回目はその人に捕まって少し身長が足りないからと降ろされた。2回目だと言うことを伝えても無理でした。
後は、小さい子には小さい子用のプールがあるけど、「Not Ice」って書いてあるけど普通に寒い(笑)また、ミニウォータースライダーがあるけど、基本的には1人で滑らないといけないから、逆に1人で滑れない子はただただ寒いだけかも。値段も決して安くないし、2回目はないかな。コインロッカーはあって出し入れ自由だけど15ドル~20ドルが必要なのと、シャワーはあるけど水のみです。むしろ、ハワイで温水シャワーなんてどこも無いと思った方が良いかも。そうなると、やはり小さい子には酷なプールかなと思います。
We had a great time. Although we couldn't speak any English at all, we were able to communicate without any problems thanks to body language and the clear, slow words used! We definitely want to go again next time.
とっても楽しかったです。
英語は全く喋れない私達でしたが、ボディーランゲージとゆっくり単語をわかりやすく言ってくれて問題なくできました‼️
次もまた絶対行きたいです
It was a light rainy day, but we had a great time! We enjoyed driving while taking in the surrounding scenery and animals, and we were able to stop at various points to take memorable photos. You can drive with a valid driver's license, and up to two people can drive, but the roads are quite steep and you go at a considerable speed, so I think it's not suitable for inexperienced drivers. Your face and clothes will get muddy, so wearing a mask and clothes you don't mind getting dirty is a good idea!
当日小雨日和でしたが充分楽しめました!
周辺の風景や動物たちを観ながらの走行や要所要所で止まって記念撮影などあとになって思い出に残る写真もたくさん撮れました!運転は免許証持ってれば二人まで運転できますが、険しい道を体感的には結構な速度で走り抜くので、ペーパードライバーは無理だと思います。顔や服は泥まみれになるので、マスクとか汚れてもいい服装が良いかと!
I signed up for a dinner buffet tour, and I was able to enjoy a wide variety of dishes. Although I'm not good at English, there was a person from Norway sitting next to me, and we had a great time until the end of the show using gestures, broken English, and their broken Japanese.
The show featured performances that were incredibly impressive, resembling Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson. The hula show was also captivating, with singing and dancing that were all perfectly executed.
I would love to participate again; it was a wonderful experience with the food and the show.
夕食ビュッフェ付きツアーを申し込みましたが、料理の種類が多く堪能できました。英語が苦手な私ですが隣の席にノルウェーの方がいて身振り、手振りとカタコト英語と相手のカタコトの日本語でショーの終わりまで楽しく過ごすことができました。
ショーもエルビスプレスリー、マイケルジャクソンの物まねとは思えないほどの内容で堪能しました。またフラショーも見ごたえが有り、歌と踊り全てが完成されていて素晴らしかった。
また参加したい、見てみた食事、ショーでした。
Thank you very much for attending the Rockafella VIP Waikiki Luau Buffet & Show. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed the Luau Buffet, as well as the performances by Elvis, Michael, and the Hawaiian show. It was also wonderful to hear that you made friends with the guests from Norway sitting next to you. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you back when you visit Hawaii again.
この度はロッカフラVIPワイキキルアウブッフェ&ショーにご来場頂きまして、誠に有難うございます。ルアウブッフェのお食事、エルビスやマイケルそして、ハワイアンショーなど楽しめて頂けたご様子で、私共も大変嬉しく思っております。そして、お隣に座られたノルウェイの方とも仲良くなれて本当に良かったですね。またハワイにお越しの際には、ご来場頂けますよう、スタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げます。
We participated as a family of five in a buggy, with my husband driving. Our kids, a 12-year-old boy, a 10-year-old girl, and an 8-year-old girl, were thrilled to see the filming locations from the Jurassic Park series, which they love. We were given helmets and goggles, so our eyes stayed clean, but afterward, our mouths were covered in dirt (laughs). The kids who had McDonald's on their faces managed to avoid getting dirty.
Since there were many Japanese people upon arrival, it was helpful that the Japanese staff handled the check-in for all the Japanese guests in advance. They also provided explanations for all the activities in Japanese. After arriving, we took about 30 minutes to relax before heading to the activity venue. Our activity ended at the same time as the bus departure, so we were in a bit of a rush without changing clothes, but it wasn't a problem since we didn't get too dirty (my husband drove carefully to avoid splashing in puddles). If we had been dirtier, we might have hesitated to get on the bus.
Our activity started at 10:45 and ended at 12:45, and we left without buying souvenirs or exploring. The bus departure time will be communicated on-site. Since we didn't plan to buy souvenirs and only intended to participate in the experience, it worked out well. However, for those who want to take their time exploring or buying souvenirs, I recommend arriving earlier than 10:45 or considering an afternoon visit.
一台のバギーに家族5人で乗り、主人が運転で参加しました。(子供は12男児、10女児、8女児)ジュラッシックパークシリーズの映画が大好きな子供達は、各ロケ地を見て喜んでいました。ヘルメットとゴーグルを渡されるので、目の周りは汚れませんが、終わった後、口周りが真っ黒になってました(笑)砂が口に入るので、マックをつけた子供は汚れを回避できていました。スケジュールでは、到着時日本人が多いので、まとめて日本人のスタッフさんが受付等を日本人客みんなの分を前もってしてくれていたので助かりました。また各アクティビティ場所も全て日本語で説明してくれました。到着後は30分ほどゆっくりしてアクティビティの会場に行きました。私達は、アクティビティ終了時間と帰りのバス集合時間が同じだったので、帰りは着替えもせずバタバタでしたが、そこまで汚れなかったので問題なかったです。(水たまりなどを、跳ねないように主人に運転してもらいました)汚れた状態だったら、バスに乗るのは躊躇するかもです。私達のアクティビティ開始時間は10時45で、12時45分終了でした、お土産等も買わず散策もせずに帰りました。帰りのバス集合時間は現地で教えられます。特にお土産購入予定も無く、体験のみでの参加しか考えてなかったので良かったのですが、ゆっくりと散策したい人やお土産を買いたい人は10時45分ではなく時間を早めるか、または午後からなどをお勧めします。
I printed the voucher and headed to the reception desk, where the check-in process went smoothly without any issues. At the desk, I installed the QR code for the Japanese guide, and I was informed about the start time of the Japanese guided tour and where to wait. Although all the information was provided in English, it was explained in a way that was easy to understand, even for someone like me who struggles with English.
The Japanese guide was supposed to last 30 minutes, but it ended up being 45 minutes, allowing me to learn about Hawaii's history in an easy-to-understand manner. The exhibits were wonderful and very impressive. In particular, the decorations on the capes and hats used bird feathers, and it was interesting to learn that these birds are already extinct.
I believe the prices from Veltra were probably discounted advance purchase rates, which were much cheaper than the regular prices, and that was a great help. If you're interested in Hawaii's history, I definitely recommend visiting.
バウチャーを印字しいざ受付窓口へ、何の問題もなくスムーズに受付終了、窓口で日本語案内のQRコードをインストール更に日本語ガイドツアーの開始時間や待つ場所を案内されました。すべて英語での案内でしたが英語が苦手の自分でも分かりやすいように説明され助かりました。
日本語での案内は30分間とありましたが、45分間案内されハワイの歴史などわかりやすく勉強することができました。
展示品の素晴らしく見ごたえがありました。特にマントや帽子の飾りに鳥の羽が使われているのですが、この鳥はすでに絶滅してをその理由も興味深かったです。
ベルトラさんの料金は多分前売り料金で正規料金よりだいぶ安かったと思います、助かりました。
ハワイの歴史に興味のある方是非訪れてください。
Thank you for your visit! We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the museum. We also appreciate your comments! Please feel free to stop by again if you have the opportunity. Aloha!
今回のご来館、ありがとうございました!ミュージアムをお楽しみ頂けたようでしたらこちらも嬉しい限りです。こちらへのコメントもありがとうございました!また機会がありましたらお立ち寄りください。Aloha!
We participated as a family. There were no Japanese people, and everything was in English. I stumbled a bit there. They were asking various questions to the customers, like "Has anyone done snorkeling before?" but I couldn't quite understand. In the end, another customer helped me with putting on the wetsuit (in English). Still, there were many Japanese families. When we got off the boat into the sea, there was a boy who panicked because he couldn't touch the bottom (of course, he was wearing a life jacket). The crew was throwing floatation devices from the boat and telling him to use them, but it didn't get through. When I asked in Japanese, "Do you want to use it?" he nodded and seemed to calm down. I think it's fine if you have no problem with everything being in English, but sometimes there are troubles...
Then there was seasickness! A few people were really groggy... some were lying down clutching bags, and a group of girls who were so excited at first looked completely exhausted. It was sad to see. My child is also prone to motion sickness, so I gave them anti-nausea candy twice, once before leaving Waikiki and once when boarding the boat, which helped. Anti-nausea measures are essential! Also, bring a towel. It gets cold when you come out of the sea! The wind was strong (while the boat was moving), and the wet body lost heat.
Finally, the kids were thrilled to get tattoo stickers, saying it felt "local"!
I saw a comment saying "no cash needed," so I didn't bring any, but I wish I had. It's a shame I couldn't give a tip to Tittha, who took great care of us. Thank you, Tittha!!
親子で参加。
日本人はおらず、全て英語で。
そこでちょっとつまずきました。
「スノーケリングやったことある人?」とか、色々お客さんに聞いてるんですが、
イマイチ理解出来ない。
ウェットスーツの着方も、結局他のお客さん(英語で)が手伝ってくれました。
それでも日本人のご家族も多くて。
ボートから海へ降りた時、足がつかないことにパニックになっている男の子がいたんですが(もちろんライフベストは着用していました)
ボートからクルーが浮き具を投げて何度も使ってと言っていたんですが、通じず。
私が日本語で「使う?」と声かけたら頷いて落ち着くことが出来たようです。
全て英語でも問題なければ、良いと思いますが、
時々トラブルが…。
あとは船酔い!
何人か…それはそれはもうグロッキーになって…袋を握りしめて横になっていたり、最初はあんなにはしゃいでたのにという女の子組もグッタリしていたり…。
見てて可哀想でした。
我が子も酔いやすいので、ワイキキ出発時と、船乗船時の2回、酔い止めキャンディを服用させて、難なきを得ました。
酔い止め対策必須ですね!
あとはタオル。海から上がると寒いです!
風も強いので(ボートで走ってる最中は)、濡れた体が体温を奪いました。
最後にタトゥーシールを貼って貰えたのが子供は「ロコっぽい」と大喜び!
どなたかのコメントで「現金はいらない」と書かれてあったので持って行かなかったのですが、
持って行けば良かったです。
私達親子のお世話をよくしてくれたTitthaにチップを渡せなかったのが残念です。
Thank you Tittha!!
The parasailing I participated in previously in Hawaii took a long time as we had to take a taxi to a distant marina, board a boat, wait on a float, and then switch to the parasailing boat. However, here you can walk to the marina next to the Hilton and board the boat from there, which saves time. The staff was friendly. The wind was strong, the boat was very rocky, and there was some thrilling swaying during the parasailing. I think it's better to take motion sickness medication.
以前ハワイで参加したパラセイリングはタクシーで遠くのマリーナまで行って、そこでボートに乗り、その先でまたフロートで待たされ、パラセイリング用のボートに乗り換えて…と時間がかかりましたが、ここはヒルトンの横のマリーナまで歩いて行けばそこからボートに乗るので無駄なく時間使えます。
親切なスタッフでした。
風が強く、ボートはとても揺れるし、パラセイリング中も風で横揺れしてスリルはありました。
酔い止め飲んだほうが良いと思います
You can take a two-hour tour around Kualoa Ranch in a five-seater vehicle called the Raptor. At each stop, you can switch drivers. Driving for two hours is quite hard, so it was a good decision to switch. The magnificent scenery is wonderful, and I want the driver to enjoy it too. There’s plenty of time to fully enjoy the experience. Your upper body will get quite dirty, so it's best to wear a dark-colored T-shirt or something that you don’t mind getting dirty. It’s also good to have a change of clothes and a towel to wash your face. You can have lunch at the ranch, and the burgers are delicious. I had a fulfilling day and am really satisfied!
ラプターという5人乗りの自動車でクアロアランチ内をぐるりと2時間かけて周ります。それぞれポイントで止まる度に運転手は交替できます。2時間の運転はまぁまぁハードなので交替して正解でした。壮大な景色が素晴らしいので、運転手も見て欲しい。時間がたっぷりあって、まだある!?というほど堪能できます。靴より上半身が真っ黒になるので、Tシャツなどは色が暗いもの、汚れてもいいものがベストです。着替えや顔を洗うタオルもあるといいです。ランチ内で昼ごはんも食べられてバーガーなど美味しいです。充実した1日が過ごせて本当に満足です!
I participated with middle and high school children. They were thrilled and said it was the most exciting experience they’ve ever had. We were able to overlook the views of Waikiki, and it became a very good experience. I’m grateful for the photos we were able to take as well.
中高生の子どもたちと参加しました。今までで一番スリルがあったと大喜びでした。ワイキキの景色も見渡せて、とてもいい経験になりました。写真も撮ってもらえてありがたいです。
The umbrellas near the changing room are free, and they provide good shade, so I recommend them. There are paid ones further in, but they let in sunlight, and the restrooms are quite a distance away, so the free ones are more than enough!
The attractions are not too scary, and even elementary school kids can enjoy them. The area is not as large as I expected, making it easy to navigate. It was not crowded, so we were able to ride multiple times, and the kids seemed to be having a great time going around in groups.
更衣室付近のパラソルは無料で日差しも入って来なかったしオススメ。奥に有料もあるが日差しも入ってくるしトイレも色々と距離があったし、無料で十分!
アトラクションはどれも怖すぎず、小学生でもいける。
思っていたより広くなく、回りやすい。
空いてるいたので何度も乗ることができ、子どもたちはグループで回っている子が多く楽しそうだった。
I enjoyed this tour a lot! My partner and I switched several times when it came to driving and it was very fun. An amazing experience, the views were fantastic, our tour guide was informative AND the tour guide took great pictures for us! It rained a bit when we went but that didn’t ruin the experience. It can definitely get muddy and cold, so be prepared and check the weather beforehand!!
This was a fun island activity and a romantic dinner for two. Other passengers also looked to be having a great time. The best part of the cruise was the opportunity to see the waikiki beach from the water. The weather cooperated and we also had a beautiful sunset. All of the food was picture perfect and tasty but smaller portions than I expected and it was certainly the smallest maine lobster I have ever seen. The upstairs on the ship was set up like a very nice restaurant, white tablecloths and the wait staff were in black suits - very fancy. The wait staff was polite and as professional as could be but as far as I could tell there was only one waiter for the entire top section this made getting drinks a bit slow. The jazz music was mostly just piano and was too loud for the room the piano had a microphone set up and it seems like it could have been turned down a notch. I shouldn't have to strain to hear the person I'm eating with who it just across the table, the couple next to us made the same comment about the volume. The singer on the other hand was wonderful and had a beautiful voice. My expectation was there would be some mellow jazz playing while we were eating, I suppose the singer had to provide some entertainment on one of the other decks while the piano played upstairs. All in all an okay experience but the photo ads and descriptions are playing it up a bit. Again best part of the voyage was the view.
My husband and I recently booked the tickets and shuttle to hike Diamond Head as I was reading how you had to have reservations to hike unless you are local. This is a change since the first time I hiked it when you didn’t have to make reservations. We also didn’t rent a car this visit, so the shuttle was perfect as it dropped us off and picked us up at a designated time. We were given tips on the way there as well as instructions how to make the hike more enjoyable. I highly recommend going with this company as you have three times to choose from to be picked up without the dynamics of reserving tickets or driving there or finding parking which is limited. The shuttle takes you as close to the trailhead as possible
It was my second time, and I had a great time. I was a bit concerned about the price being on the higher side. The sea was beautiful, and the crew was very kind to us.
2回目でしたが、楽しかったです。
ちょっと値段がお高いのが気になりました。
海は綺麗だし、クルーの方が優しくしてくださいました。
