Oahu
Although I go to the gym, climbing the mountain was quite tough for someone in their 60s. I thought to myself, "This might be my last experience in life?" as I climbed. At the summit, I was able to see the hotel district and the distant sea, making all the sweat and effort worthwhile. It really made me realize that the Earth is round!
They handled the application process for climbing, which you can't do without prior approval, and the entrance fee was included! They also provided water, so all I had to do was show up in sneakers and light workout clothes! There was also a shuttle service to the hotel.
Considering that I would have to check the bus schedule, take the bus, and handle the application myself, I think this was quite a good deal.
ジムに通っているとはいえ、60代のこの身には結構厳しい山登りでした。人生でこれが最後の体験かも?と思いながら登りました。頂上ではホテル街や遠い海原までも一望でき、汗水流して登った甲斐がありました。地球って丸いんだな!って認識できます。
事前申請しないと登れないところを代行してもらえるし、入山料?も込み! そしてお水も用意してくださり、こちらはスニーカーと軽い運動できる服装で行くだけ!ホテルへの送迎もついていました。
これをバス時間を調べてバスに乗って、事前の申請もして、と考えるとお安いのではないかと思います。
I had been wanting to visit Kualoa Ranch. I considered renting a car for transportation, but it was the right decision to book a tour.
During the ride to and from the ranch, I was able to rest, which helped me recover my energy for the rest of the day's plans.
Since I participated without understanding English, I relied on a translation app, but unfortunately, the signal was poor, and I couldn't fully grasp the content as I had hoped.
The magnificent scenery was amazing, and it was fun to take photos.
行ってみたいと思っていたクアロアランチ。
移動手段にはレンタカーも考えていましたが
ツアーを頼んで正解でした。
行き帰りの車内では休息が取れ、その後の予定への体力回復が出来ました。
英語がわからない状態での参加なので、翻訳アプリを駆使しましたが、想像通り電波が悪く、内容がイマイチ理解出来なかったのが残念でした。
壮大な景観が素晴らしく、写真を撮るのは楽しかったです。
I thought that whether or not you know the movie significantly changes the level of enjoyment.
映画を知ってるかどうかで、楽しみの度合いがかなり大きく変わると思いました。
We gathered at the beach in front of the Royal Hawaiian Hotel, so it was easy to participate without any transportation arrangements. The staff were all friendly, energetic, and made the experience enjoyable. It felt great to ride the waves like a surfer. I would love to participate again next time.
ロイヤルハワイアンホテルの前のビーチに集合なので、送迎などなく手軽に参加できました。係の人たちもみな親切で元気で楽しく体験できました。サーファーのように波乗りができ気持ちよかったです。また次回も参加したいです。
You can check in your luggage, but it's recommended to participate with minimal belongings, such as a beach towel.
荷物は預けられますが、ビーチタオルなど最小限の荷物で参加することをお勧めします。
Dear Chichi: Thank you for participating in the Outrigger Canoe Surfing service at Waikiki Beach. Next time, please try a 1-hour charter to challenge yourself with more surfing! We look forward to seeing you again! Mahalo!
ちっち様:ワイキキビーチサービスのアウトリガーカヌーサーフィンにご参加いただき、ありがとうございました。次回は1時間のチャーターでもっと波乗りに挑戦してみてください!お待ちしております! マハロ!
A beautiful night. Great food. Great entertainment. Saw the spectacular fire works and the skyline night lights of Waikiki. Drinks included in the package was a bonus.
A must do activity if in Waikiki.
Communication was excellent from booking, to handing out equipment, to snorkeling instructions, to keeping group on-time and together, etc. I had complete confidence in the hosts' professionalism and adherence to safety protocols. Furthermore, they were personable and so interesting. The ride to/from the bay was almost as engaging as the snorkeling. The day I went the conditions were perfect: the water was clear and there were so many fish and even a turtle. Truly, the experience was wonderful from start to finish.
Thank you Lori! glad you had a good time. Hope we see you again.
The driver was very kind. Climbing the mountain might be tough, but the beautiful scenery made it very satisfying.
ドライバーの方は、とても親切な方でした。山を登るのは、大変かもしれませんが、綺麗な景色が見られて大満足です。
You can participate with peace of mind.
安心して参加できます。
I participated at my mother's request, who has wanted to try canoeing for many years!
It wasn't just regular canoeing; it was canoe surfing, and the moment I caught a wave after paddling hard was the best!
Working together as a family for this activity became a lifelong memory. ☺️
長年カヌーをやりたがっていた母の希望で参加しました!
ただのカヌーじゃなくカヌーサーフィンなので必死に漕いだあとの波に乗った瞬間が最高でした!!
家族みんなで力を合わせてのアクティビティは一生の思い出になりました☺️
You can check your luggage, but since it's a place that anyone can enter, I think it's best to keep valuables to a minimum! (I will also check my phone.)
荷物は預けられますが誰でも入れるところなので貴重品は最低限の方が良いかと思います!(携帯も預けます)
そら様:
ご家族皆様で楽しんでいただけるのがこのアクティビティーの良いところですね。泳げない方も参加が可能ですので、3世代、4世代の方々にも楽しんでいただけることでしょう。またのお越しをお待ちしております。次回は1時間のチャーターをお試しください。
I was very scared and worried until it started, but even for us over 60, it was fine. It was incredibly fun, and if I come to Hawaii again, I definitely want to challenge myself again. Falling into the ocean at the end was also the most fun! 💓
始まるまではとても怖くて心配しましたが、60超えた私たちでも大丈夫でした。めちゃくちゃ楽しくて、また、ハワイに来たら絶対チャレンジしたいです。最後に海に落ちるのも最高に楽しかったです💓
If you’re worried about this being overly commercialized, crowded, or having a crew that is just going through the motions…you’d be pleasantry wrong! This is a must do.
My wife wanted to visit Diamond Head❣️ Since I was still feeling the fatigue in my legs from the previous day's tour of Pearl Harbor and bowling, I took my time climbing to the top. Even so, I had two hours until the pick-up car arrived, so I was in no rush.
The view was absolutely amazing❣️ It felt great❣️
カミさん所望のダイヤモンドヘッド❣️
前日のパールハーバー見学とボウリングの疲労が脚に残っていたので、休憩しながら登頂しました。それでも、迎えの車まで2時間あったので、余裕でした。
ぐるっとチョーゼッケェー❣️
気持ち良かったぁ❣️
Especially for those over sixty:
1. I recommend drinks like Pocari Sweat or Aquarius instead of water or tea.
2. I suggest wearing familiar shoes that provide good support.
特に還暦過ぎた方には
①水やお茶よりも、ポカリとかアクエリをお勧めします。
②靴は、履き慣れた、ホールドのしっかりしたものをお勧めします。
This luau far exceeded our expectations!
The entire show is very well put together. The ambiance is incredible. The staff was amazing. We were greeted with hospitality the entire time. The food was delicious.
Not only did we get a great show with all the dancers, fire twirling, and music, we also got the history of the culture and people behind it all.
On top of that, they also threw in humor.
It was highly entertaining!
This show is a must see! It does not disappoint!
Be sure to upgrade for the front row table seating.
This was a great introduction to snorkeling for our apprehensive teen. Nick was fun, knowledgeable, and patient. We learned about the sealife of Oahu and had so much fun, too. Highly recommend!
The theater was beautiful and easy to see, and I was able to enjoy it slowly. Elvis and Michael were really funny! I was out of breath from laughing too much!
劇場も綺麗で見やすく、ゆっくり楽しめました。
エルビス、マイケル、めっちゃおもろい!
息切れしすぎ笑
Thank you very much for attending the Rockafella Show with your family. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed the entertainment, including Elvis and Michael. We sincerely look forward to your visit again when you come to Hawaii.
この度はロッカフラ ショーにご家族でご来場頂きまして、誠に有難うございます。エンターテインメントそして、エルビスとマイケルも充分に楽しんで頂き大変嬉しく思っております。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。
Although the time was short, the speed was quite exhilarating, and the children were pretty scared when we went over the waves, so I think three rounds of surfing was just right.
It was unfortunate that I couldn't take photos with my smartphone during the boarding process because there was paddling involved. Later, I received an email about purchasing photos and videos, but they were all similar pictures where you couldn't see faces, and they were expensive! I was also disappointed that I couldn't purchase just the videos.
時間は短かったですが、スピードがかなり出るのと波を越えて行く時に、子どもたちはかなり怖がったので、計3回の波乗りでちょうど良かったのかなと思います。
乗船時、漕ぐ作業があるので、スマホ撮影できなかったのが残念でした。
あとからメールに、写真・動画の購入のお知らせがきたのですが、同じような写真で顔もわからない写真ばかりでしかも高い!動画のみの購入ができず残念でした。
I recommend arriving early as the check-in location can be difficult to find.
チェックインの場所がわかりづらいので、早めに行くことをおすすめします。
Dear Michi,

I went on the UTV Raptor Tour. Since the self-drive option was fully booked, I reserved the guided tour where the guide drives. The entire tour was in English, but it was fun because they spoke a little Japanese as well.
UTVラプターツアーに乗りました。
自走は予約がいっぱいで、ガイドが運転してくれるものを予約しました。
ツアーはすべて英語でしたが、少しだけ日本語を話してくれたので楽しかったです。
On sunny days, it's best to be careful of dust. On rainy days, a poncho is essential (it's good to buy one at a 100 yen shop in Japan).
晴れの日は、土埃に気をつけたほうが良いです。
雨の日はポンチョ必須(日本の100均で買っておくと良い)
Before it started, I was really scared, but once I took off, it was truly fun! It felt like riding a trapeze, which was awesome. However, the boat was really rocky, so I definitely think motion sickness medication is necessary! Also, I was worried about whether I could take an Uber if I got wet on the way back, but there was only a long wait for a pickup, so I ended up walking back to Waikiki. However, since I was always looking at the beach, it felt like it went by in no time. It took about 30 minutes to get to the Hyatt.
始まる前は、すごく怖かったが飛んでしまえは、本当に楽しかったです!
空中ブランコに乗ってるみたいでサイコー
ただ船の揺れがすごいので酔い止めほんとに必要だと思いました!
あと帰りが濡れたらウーバーに乗れるか不安だったのですが、時間のかかるお迎えしかなくて結局歩いてワイキキまで戻りましたが、ずっとビーチを横目に見ながらなので、なんだかあっという間でした。時間的にはハイアットまで30分くらきかかりましたが
Our guide was brilliant. We did the ride along and by far it was far more immersive and engaging then had we driven our selves. Our guide was so energetic and only too happy to share cultural insights. Both guides clearly loved their job and it showed through their enthusiasm and passion for what they did. Well worth it!
Phenomenal experience with horses, the ocean and a great group of nice people.
no recommendations
The driver was kind and guided us to the sunrise spot, and we had plenty of time. We were able to enjoy snorkeling without worrying about the time.
運転手さんが親切で、日の出場所を案内してくれ、時間もたっぷりあった。
シュノーケルを時間を気にせず、楽しめた。
This tour is the cheapest and the best value.
このツアーが一番安くてお得です。
The driver was very cheerful and it was fun. Thank you very much.
I heard they can communicate in English, but that was not a problem.
とても明るいドライバーさんで楽しかったです。ありがとうございました
英語対応との事でしたが問題ありません。
I want you to participate with peace of mind.
安心して参加して欲しいです
I had a question about whether there would be rock in the hula show, but I thought the show was wonderful. Especially for my wife, who is an Elvis fan, it seemed to be particularly enjoyable. Thank you.
フラのショーにロックが? という疑問がありましたが、ショーは、素晴らしかったと思います。 特に、エルビスファンの家内には、格別に楽しめたようです。
ありがとう。
You might get bored with just hula, but there’s also rock music, so you can enjoy it.
フラだけでは、あきてしまうかもしれませんが、ロックもあり、楽しめます。
Thank you very much for attending the Rock-a-Hula VIP Waikiki Luau Buffet & Show with your spouse. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed the rock and hula entertainment. It's great to know that your wife is an Elvis fan. We are honored to have been able to help create wonderful memories for you in Hawaii. We look forward to welcoming you back to Hawaii next time.
この度はロッカフラVIPワイキキルアウブッフェ&ショーにご夫婦でご来場頂きまして誠にありがとうございました。ロックとフラのエンターテインメントもお楽しみして頂き大変うれしく思います。奥様はエルビスファンなのですね。ハワイでの良い思い出のお手伝いができた事を光栄に思っております。次回もハワイでお待ちしております。
I participated with my daughter, and it was our first experience, so we were nervous 💓. Although there was some fear, the moment we ascended into the sky from the boat, it felt wonderful with the blue sky and sea, and it was truly moving 😊. I wish we could have flown a little longer.
娘と2人で参加したのですが、初めての経験でドキドキ💓
恐さもあったのですが、ボートの上から空へ上昇した途端、気持ちよくって空も海もブルーで、感動でした😊
もう少し長い時間飛んでいたかったな〜。
If you have the opportunity, I definitely think it's enjoyable for couples, families, friends, and anyone else.
機会があれば是非、カップル・親子・友達等誰とでも楽しめると思います。
We were on the same boat as groups 3 and 4, and it felt great to enjoy cruising while others were flying out to sea.
Since it was the latter part of our trip and we had just had our wedding in Hawaii, we were a bit tight on money and decided not to pay the $40 tip for photos, but none of the staff made any unpleasant faces, and we were able to participate happily.
Instead, I brought a rented GoPro from Japan, and there was no negative reaction to that either.
The photos are screenshots from the video.
I have a fear of heights, so I was a bit teary while waiting and flying, but unlike a roller coaster, there was hardly any shaking, and the ride was much smoother than I expected. While waiting on the boat, I imagined being tossed around by wires, but it was just gently floating peacefully.
I participated thinking it would be a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and it turned out to be a wonderful memory.
I appreciate the friendly and pleasant staff.
I usually get motion sickness in cars, but I took motion sickness medication beforehand, so I was fine on the boat. I highly recommend it.
3-4組と同じ船でしたが沖に向かうまでの間も他の方が飛んでいる間もクルージングが出来て気持ちよかったです。
旅行後半でハワイ挙式後ということもありお金に余裕が無く、40ドルのチップを払っての撮影は頼みませんでしたが嫌な顔するスタッフもいらっしゃらず、楽しく参加できました。
その代わり日本からレンタルのGoProを持ち込んでいたのですがそれも嫌な顔されるような事は無かったです。
写真は動画からのスクリーンショットです。
高所恐怖症のため、恐怖で待っている間も飛びながらも半ベソでしたがジェットコースターと違い揺れる事もほとんど無く、乗り心地は予想以上に良かったです。船で待っている間はワイヤーで振り回されるイメージかなと思っていましたが、
ただ穏やかにふわふわ浮いていました。
一生に一度と思い参加しましたが、結果とても良い思い出になりました。
ノリも感じも良いスタッフさん達に感謝です。
普段車でも酔いやすいのですが、酔い止めを飲んで臨んだので船酔いは平気でした。
おすすめです。
Renting a GoPro and bringing it along was a great decision.
Also, the staff's camera skills seemed impressive, so if you have the budget, I think it's worth asking them for help.
GoProレンタルして持参したのはとても良かったです。
またスタッフさんのカメラも上手そうだったので、予算に余裕がある方はお願いしてみても良いと思います。
This cruise beat my expectations. The food was amazing and there was so much that none of us could finish. The outlook and entertainment were fantastic. My kids even got up and danced at the end and my 15 year old daughter told me several times throughout the night how much she enjoyed herself.... a pricey outing that was worth it...
We just booked the standard package and sat on the middle deck and it was perfect
The instructors are experienced, so I felt at ease. They have great personalities, and I had a very enjoyable time. I was also satisfied to see many fish!
インストラクターの方は慣れているので安心です。人柄も良くとても楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。また、たくさんの魚を見ることもでき満足です!
Thank you for participating in the tour. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed snorkeling at Hanauma Bay. We look forward to seeing you again when you visit Hawaii. Thank you very much. Mahalo!!
この度はツアーにご参加いただき、ありがとうございました。ハナウマ湾のシュノーケリングを楽しんでいただけたとのこと、スタッフ一同とても嬉しく思っております。またハワイにお越しの際にはお会いできるのをお待ちしております。本当にありがとうございました。Mahalo!!
Great boat was awesome the crew was amazing good experience
Everything is good
We came to the Hawaiian Islands to celebrate our Honeymoon, and this was 1 of the excursions we had planned. Let me tell you, it did not disappoint! We had such a fun time, having the movie sites pointed out along the way to base camp. The 3 instructors that took us through the course were amazing, very attentive, asking questions about each of us, congratulating us and thanking us for coming. It did start raining 2 zip lines in, but wasn’t that bad. They kept the entire experience fun and full of entertainment. 100% recommend!
Wear shoes that don’t need socks, cause if it rains on you too you don’t want wet socks.
The day before, I was forced to change the time without any explanation. I had already organized my schedule for that day, so it was very troublesome to have it changed without notice. I at least wanted an explanation. The driver was cheerful and a very nice person.
前日の昼過ぎに、何の説明もなく時間変更を余儀なくされた。その日1日のスケジュールを組み立てていたのに、勝手に変更されて大変困った。せめて説明をしてほしかった。
ドライバーの方は陽気な方でとてもいい人でした。
Be careful as the schedule may change without notice.
勝手に時間変更されることがあるので注意が必要です。
I made a reservation the day before on a whim! We traveled as a group on a small boat. I was a bit anxious because the experience reviews mentioned that motion sickness medication was essential, but the weather was nice, and while watching others fly and chatting with the staff, the time flew by, and I didn't feel sick at all! My mother, who joined me, said the exact same thing. The view from above is truly breathtaking, just as everyone has mentioned. If you come to Hawaii, you must try it!
前日に思い立って予約しました!
小さな船に乗ってグループで移動します。
体験談に酔い止めは必須と書いてあり不安がありましたが、天気も良く他の人が飛んでいるのを見ていたり、スタッフの方と話していたらあっという間に時間が過ぎて全く酔いませんでした!
一緒に参加した母も全く同じことを言っていました。
上からの景色は皆さんが書いてある通り絶景です。ハワイに来たらぜひ!
Pack as lightly as possible! It's obvious, but there is absolutely no shade, so if you don't want to get sunburned, it's definitely better to wear something like a rash guard. Sunglasses will also hel
荷物は極力少なめに!
当たり前ですが、全く日陰がないのでやけたくなければラッシュガードなど着ていたほうがいいです絶対。
サングラスもあったほうが景色を楽しめます。
We thoroughly enjoyed this entire experience. The ship and crew was outstanding and the ability to do 'off shore' sandbar stopover with BBQ lunch and snorkeling was terrific. Although we had a rental car, we opted to take advantage of their transportation (a bus) and that was a real plus with door-to-door service. And although the bus was filled to capacity, on arrival they broke into two groups with two sailing vessels but stayed in tandem. The ships were in top shape and the onboard restrooms clean and stocked.
The sandbar experience was wonderful permitting amazing photos with Oahu mountains in the background. The crew was outgoing, mixing with the guests and ensuring all was safe and fun. The BBQ was ample and tasty, and the included and optional drinks wide ranging. The tour allowed plenty of time for all phases including the snorkeling...never feeling rushed with lots of time for exploration along the reef. The fish were plentiful and the coral in good condition. The crew was environmentally conscientious and took extra care in entering and existing the ship while snorkeling (with an onboard fresh water rinse afterwards). Their snorkel gear appeared new with ample numbers of swim jackets.
I highly recommend booking Captain Bob's...you won't regret it.
