All Reviews for Kid Adventures (Ages 8-12)

Jumping into the sea when transferring from the boat to the scooter took a bit of courage, but once I was in the helmet, it was very comfortable and enjoyable. I was a little disappointed that the fish that came to the bait were mostly plain-looking horse mackerel, but I was able to take many wonderful photos, which made for great memories.

船からスクータに移る時に海に飛び込むのが少し勇気がいりましたが
ヘルメットの中に入ってしまえばとても楽ちんで楽しめました
餌に寄ってきたお魚が鯵っぽい地味なお魚ばかりだったのが少し残念でしたが
素敵な写真を沢山撮ってもらえて良い思い出になりました

All the young men took very good care of my friend in a wheelchair. they made her feel welcomed. The dancers were grate and the food was fun (they could have done better on the desert). the food line went fast.
The bathrooms could have been a little better.

It is located on the 4th floor of the Royal Hawaiian Center, which is in the heart of Waikiki. Since it was close to the hotel I was staying at, access was good. After enjoying a buffet dinner, we moved to the show venue. During dinner, there were hula dancers performing to ukulele music, and the menu featured dishes made with Hawaiian ingredients, allowing us to fully experience Hawaii. The staff who brought drinks and guided us to our seats danced energetically during the show, creating a very lively atmosphere. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Hawaii.

ワイキキの中心地であるロイヤルハワイアンセンターの4階にあります。宿泊していたホテルの近くだったのでアクセスが良かったです。ビュッフェディナーを食べてから、ショー会場へと移動します。ディナー中はウクレレに合わせてフラダンスを踊っていたり、メニューにもハワイの食材を使ったものが出ていたりハワイを存分に感じられました。ドリンクを運んでくれたり、席を案内してくれたスタッフが、ショーではキレキレに踊っていて、大変盛り上がりました。ハワイに行かれる方には是非オススメです。

One of my biggest fears is a shark. The idea of this excursion terrified me but When in Rome, right? Hawaii is the perfect place to face your fears and do something you’d never normally do. The guys on the boat helped ease my fears and made the experience so incredible. I would recommend this excursion to anyone. We saw 6 sharks at one time and being that close to a shark was one of the coolest things I’ve ever done. We spent about 40 min in the water and it was the perfect amount of time. The fact that only a small number of people can go on the excursion means more time in the water. This is a must do on the North Shore! Bring your GoPro!

I'm grateful that the captain tells us which direction to look for the whales. In fact, there were several whales in that direction, but we could only see their dorsal fins, which was disappointing.

A small boat was quite close to the whales, so even though it was a bit rocky, being in a smaller boat might allow you to feel the size and power of the whales more.

Breakfast was delicious, but I felt it was a bit pricey for what you get...

クジラがいると船長さんが何時の方向に見えますと言ってくれるのでありがたいです。
実際その方向にクジラが何頭かいましたが背鰭しか見えず残念でした｡。

小さなボートがかなりクジラに接近していたので、揺れがキツくても小さなボートの方がクジラの大きさや迫力は感じられるかもしれません。

朝食は美味しかったですが、お値段の割にはお高く感じました…

This was a great tour! Our driver/guide had lots of fun stories about history and culture of everything we saw. It was a good amount of time at each place.

The USS Missouri is great. Take the guided tour! Our guide had some great stories. I also enjoyed having time to explore on my own.

The USS Arizona Memorial and other memorials were very humbling. So grateful for the men and women who sacrificed their lives that day so I can enjoy the freedom I now have. It was quite humbling to stand over the tomb of those men in the USS Arizona. I also enjoyed the Walk of Honour. My only regret was not having enough time to explore the other things in and around that site.

This was a great starter tour to show me what I might like to do next time. The company from booking to resort pick-up and drop off to not having to navigate the traffic made it well worth the investment. I highly recommend this for everyone. I learned a lot!

I also greatly appreciated the poncho to use as we had rain off and on all day. Unexpected but awesome bonus!

This time it was rainy, so we couldn't see any whales. It's a natural occurrence, so there's nothing we can do about it, but it's disappointing.

I'll try again next time.

今回は雨で、ホエールも観れませんでした。
自然なものなので仕方ありませんが、残念でした。

次回再チャレンジします。

I had a great time with the thrilling roller coaster-class attractions. However, it was disappointing and confusing that I couldn't buy a ticket for standing surfing without showing my passport, even though bodyboarding was okay. Who brings their passport to the pool?

ジェットコースタークラスのスリリングなアトラクションで、とても楽しめました。しかしボディーボードは、OK なのにスタンディングサーフィンするのにパスポートを提示しないとチケットが買えなかったので、残念だし意味がわからん。プールにパスポート持って行くやついるか？

I experienced a 150m flight.
There were two foreign couples on the same boat.
I was a bit worried since it was my first time, but the staff gave instructions in Japanese, like bending your legs and holding onto this, so I had no worries at all.
I put my belongings that I didn't want to get wet under the seat, and the three of us—my husband, my adult son, and I—flew together.
When we took off, it felt gentle and wasn't scary at all; in the air, we could slowly enjoy the beautiful scenery.
The landing on the boat was also gentle, but the staff subtly controlled it, dipping us into the sea up to our bottoms and playing around with us, which was fun too.
Everyone on the boat was excited together.

Afterward, they showed us the photos, and I bought them for $30.
They gave them to us on an SD card, with 127 pictures of various angles, including ones with Diamond Head in the background, with the airplane, and with Jaws.
I highly recommend it! ♪

１５０ｍを体験しました
同じ船には外国のカップルが二組でした
初めてだし大丈夫か？と思いましたが
スタッフさんは脚を曲げてとか、ここを持ってとか日本語で指示してくれるので、まったく心配ありません
濡らしたくない荷物は椅子の下に入れて、夫と息子（成人）と私の三人一緒に飛ばしてくれました
飛び出すときもふわっという感じで怖くなく、空中ではゆっくりきれいな景色を堪能できました
船の上への着陸も、ふわっとできますが、スタッフが微妙にコントロールして、お尻まで海につけたり翻弄してくれ、それも楽しかったです
船上もみんなで盛り上がりました

終わってから写真を見せてくれて３０ドルで買いました
sdカードでくれて、いろいろな近さ、バックにダイアモンドヘッド、飛行機と一緒、ジョーズと一緒など、１２７枚もありました
とてもお勧めです♪

Each diver is assigned to you individually. At first, I was anxious, but once I tried it, it was very easy! When I shook the bait attached to the bike, a lot of fish came close. It was my first time touching fish up close like that.

I was also able to see two turtles! I was very satisfied with the ample snorkeling time during the free periods!

I went in February, and it was freezing cold when I got out of the water due to the wind! But once you're in the sea, it's fine! I recommend bringing a few larger towels.

ダイバーが1人ずつ付いてくれます。最初は不安でしたが、やってみるととても簡単！バイクについている餌をふると魚が沢山寄ってきます。魚をあんなに間近で触れたのは初めてでした。

亀も2匹見れることができました！空き時間にはたっぷりシュノーケリングができて大満足です！

2月に行ったのですが、海から上がったときは風で激寒でした！でも海に入ってしまえば大丈夫！大きめのタオルを何枚か持っていくことをお勧めします。

I had participated before and was very satisfied at that time. I thought I would attend every year from then on, but this time was disappointing. I will honestly share my feelings with hopes for improvement.

- There was a mistake on the part of the organizer at the time of application, which caused a long wait at the reception on the day of the event. Despite arriving early, I was overtaken by people who came later.

- Michael was not there. From the comments, it seems that Michael's absence is not just on the day I attended, but it might be quite frequent? There are fans who go specifically to see Michael, and while there may be unavoidable reasons like illness, I think they should have a backup plan in place. I also find it concerning that there was no apology for Michael's absence.

- After finishing my meal, I went to the venue (2nd floor) early, but I was directed to a seat at the edge and could not choose my own. The seating was determined randomly based on the order of entry, and I was not allowed to change my seat. The woman who guided the seating was also quite overbearing.

- Compared to my previous visit, I felt that the overall level of the show had clearly declined, which was the most disappointing part. It seems that almost all the cast members, except for Presley, had changed, and the previous cast was at a higher level. The female singer was definitely better last time.

- There was a person in the front row who stood up and danced or shouted during the performance, and there was no intervention to stop them. Eventually, that person even got on stage. This was clearly a nuisance to other guests, and proper action should have been taken.

- Last time, the course dinner was very delicious, but honestly, the buffet was not good. Considering the price difference, I think the course dinner is better.

What I felt this time is that there can be hits and misses depending on the day or season. I had hoped it would be a show that could be enjoyed no matter when you go, which is disappointing.

以前参加したことがあり、その時は大満足でした。
その時、これからは毎年参加しようと思ったのですが、今回は残念でした。
改善の希望も込めて正直に感じたことを書きます。

・申込時ベルトラ側にミスがあり、そのせいで当日受付にすごく時間がかか
　った。早めに行ったにも関わらず、後から来た人にどんどん抜かされた。

・マイケルがいなかった。
　コメントを見ると、私が参加した日だけでなくマイケル不在は
　結構あることかも？マイケルファンでマイケル目当てに行く人もいるのに
　病気など仕方ない理由もあるでしょうが、代役など体制を整えるべきと
　思う。マイケルがいないことへのお詫びなど一切ないこともどうかと思う。

・食事を終え早めに会場(2階)へ行ったが、端っこの席を案内された、
　自分で席を選べなかった。会場へ入った順番で勝手に席が決まる、運次第、
　席の変更はして貰えなかった。席案内の女性の対応も高圧的でした。

・前回参加した時に比べ、全体的に明らかにショーのレベルが下がったと
　感じた、これが一番残念でした。
　恐らく、プレスリー以外前回とほぼ全員レベルでキャストが変わっていま
　したが　前回の方がレベル高かったです。
　女性シンガーも前回の方が断然上でした。

・ステージ前席のお客の中に、公演中立ち上がって踊ったり声を上げている人
　がいたが阻止等対応していなかった、しまいにその人はステージにまで
　上がっていました。明らかに他の客に迷惑です、ちゃんと対応するべき。

・前回はコースディナーでとてもおいしかったですが、ブッフェは正直おいし
　くなかったです。
　金額差を考えても、コースディナーの方がいいと思います。

今回感じたのは、行く日や時期によって当たり外れがあるなということ。
いつ行っても楽しめるショーであってほしかったです、残念。

If you are using the shuttle bus, I recommend dashing to the ticket counter located to the left front after you exit the first building (the shop or café) you enter. When a large group arrives by bus, you can spend quite a bit of time waiting in line here.

You are not allowed to carry even a body bag while horseback riding, but there are quite large pockets on both sides of the horse, so you can fit a compact camera, smartphone, or a 100 yen raincoat. It's not too dirty, and you can access your items while riding.

Many reviews mentioned the smell of the helmets, so I brought a non-woven sheet to place inside the helmet. Well, it's just a comfort measure. There was also deodorizing spray available at the helmet storage area. I noticed while riding that the chin strap smelled worse than the helmet. Since it's made of fabric, there's not much you can do about it. Maybe just wipe it with wet wipes before use?

Additionally, I experienced a little trouble. I made the reservation about three days before leaving Japan. The voucher I received stated a 10:30 pickup and 11:15 horseback riding, which was impossible to make. The contact information on the Veltra site directed me to contact Kualoa Ranch directly. I reluctantly emailed Kualoa Ranch, but received no response, and left Japan without clarity. After arriving in Hawaii, I had the hotel concierge make a confirmation call. I’m not sure if they changed it based on my email or if there was just a mistake on the voucher, but I was relieved to find out that the horseback riding was at 12:15. The next day, I received an email from Veltra saying, "There has been a change to your voucher." It was a result of my own efforts, though (laughs). The following day (the night before the horseback riding), I received a call from Veltra in my room. I appreciated the sincerity of the call, but honestly, if inquiries are to be made between the parties involved, I think there’s no point in going through Veltra.

送迎バスを使う場合、バスを降りたら最初に入る建物（売店やカフェ）を突き抜けて外に出て左前方にあるチケットカウンターにダッシュすることをお勧めします。バスで大勢一度に到着するとここの順番待ちで結構時間を取られます。
乗馬するときにはボディバッグすら持たせてもらえませんが、馬の両サイドにかなり大きなポケットがあるので、コンパクトカメラやスマホ、100円レインコートくらいなら入れられます。そんなに汚くないです。乗馬中にも出し入れできる位置です。
ヘルメットの臭いのことを言われているレビューが多かったので、不織布シートを持っていってヘルメットの内側に当てて使いました。まぁ気休めです。ヘルメット置き場には消臭スプレーも置いてありました。乗馬中に気づいたのはヘルメットよりあごひもが臭うんだってこと。これは布製なので対処しようが無いかな。使う前にウェットティッシュで拭くくらい？
あと、私が体験したちょっとしたトラブル。日本を出る３日ほど前に予約を入れました。届いたバウチャーには10:30ピックアップで11:15乗馬となっており、間に合うわけがありません。ベルトラのサイトからの問い合わせ先はクアロア牧場に直にお問合せを、となっています。仕方なくクアロア牧場に問い合わせのメールをしましたが返事は無く、はっきりしないまま日本を出発。ハワイに到着してからホテルのコンシェルジュに確認の電話をしてもらいました。私からのメールで変更してくれたのか、単にバウチャーに誤記載されていたのかはわかりませんが、乗馬が12:15になっているとのことで安心しました。その翌日にベルトラから「バウチャーに変更ありました」のメールが来ました。自分で対処した結果なんですけど（笑）。そのまた翌日（乗馬に行く前夜）にベルトラの方から部屋に電話がありました。電話までくださったことには誠意を感じますが、（すごく細かい内容なわけでもない）問い合わせを当事者間でするなら正直ベルトラを通す意味が無いと思いました。

According to the reviews, it seemed that only about 30% of people were able to see them, so I didn't have high expectations, and it turned out to be true. After that, I received advice that if I wanted to see whales, Maui or the Big Island would be better, and I thought it was rare to see them off the coast of Waikiki Beach on Oahu.

口コミ情報では約3割程度の人しかが観ることができたようでしたので、あまり期待はしていませんでしたが、その通りになってしまいました。その後クジラを観るなら、マウイ島かハワイ島が良いとアドバイスを受け、オアフ島のワイキキビーチの沖合で観えること自体が稀ではないかと思いました。

Kualoa Ranch is beautiful and probably my favorite place on Oahu. There is so much to do there! This is a bus tour that offers an awesome experience driving through the heart of the ranch and listening to the guides commentary about the different movies that were filmed there. The bus makes multiple stops along the way so you can get out, walk around, and take pictures as you please. Overall good tour. The guide was very knowledgable and made it fun. Looking for something to do on Oahu, check out Kualoa!

I rode a UTV for two hours in the morning amidst stormy weather with strong winds and sunny intervals. Although we had a roof and ponchos, I ended up completely soaked, so it was a good decision to bring windproof and warm clothing as well as a change of clothes. The atmosphere was just like Jurassic Park, which really lifted my spirits. The UTV provided a thrilling and powerful driving experience. There were great views and humorous props, making the two hours fly by.

朝から暴風雨と晴れ間の荒天の中UTVに2時間乗りました。
屋根ありポンチョありでしたが、結局ずぶ濡れになったので防風防寒具や着替えを持参して正解。
ジュラシックパークの雰囲気そのままで気持ちも昂ります。UTVも走りごたえあり迫力あるドライブを楽しめました。良い景色やお笑いの演出小道具もありあっという間の2時間でした。

This shark cage tour was awesome. Started off the morning with a nice north shore cruise to the cage drop spot. The crew is very laid back and give you all the information you need along the way. Very friendly and knowledgeable and answered all and any questions we had. Spent a good chunk of time in the cage and saw a few different sharks able to collect some pretty sweet GoPro footage. Even saw some whales along the way and you are able to hear them singing underwater which is pretty cool. The boat is spacious and comfortable and they provide bottled water. They also have a fresh water hose so you can rinse off when you are done in the cage. This tour was 100% safe and professionally ran. I would recommend it for anyone looking to have a good time for a few hours on the island.

We have a 5-year-old, so we couldn't go diving, which is why we had to take a submarine to see the underwater world. The boat that takes you to the submarine was cool, and my son, who loves vehicles, was very satisfied to see the moment the submarine surfaced and when the boat docked next to it! After that, we boarded the submarine and began our dive. The visibility wasn't as clear as advertised, but we saw four sea turtles around a sunken ship, which was amazing! The captain was kind enough to go back and forth a few times to help us see the turtles. For the Japanese commentary, you need to set the headphone channel to 1. I was a bit flustered at first because it was in Chinese. Also, as mentioned in reviews, it was cold, so a light windbreaker is necessary. The crew was very friendly. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

うちは５歳がいてダイビングなどできないので潜水艦に乗らないと海の中は見れませんでした。潜水艦まで行く船もかっこいいし、潜水艦が浮上する瞬間やボートが横付けする瞬間など見れて乗り物大好き息子は大満足！その後潜水艦に乗りいざ潜水開始。なかなか透明度は広告くらいありませんでしたが沈没船にホヌが4匹もいて最高でした！ホヌを見るためにキャプテンが何回か行き来してくれて優しかったです。日本語解説は、ヘッドホンのチャンネルを1に設定が必要です。最初中国語であせりました。また、寒いという口コミ通り寒かったので薄いシャカシャカなど必要です。クルーの対応も親切でした。素敵な体験ありがとうございました。

I parked at Pier 5.6 an hour ago, thinking there was a whale watching booth there, but it turned out that the Star of Honolulu was a five-minute walk from there, so I was cutting it close on time. The whale watching at Pier 5.6 is operated by a different company called Atlantis, so be careful about that. The parking fee is a maximum of $30, and I paid $27, so it wasn't much different. Once on board, we listened to the explanation and then went outside to look for whales, but in the end, we couldn't find any. The scenery was amazing.

1時間前からピア5.6の駐車場に停めてそこにもホエールウォッチングのブースがありそこかと思っていたらスターオブホノルルはそこから徒歩5分のところだったので時間ギリギリでした。
ピア5.6のホエールウォッチングはアトランティスという別会社なので注意が必要です。
駐車場はMAX 30ドルで、私は27ドルだったので対して変わりませんでした。いざ乗船して説明聞いてから外に出てクジラを探しましたが結局クジラはみつかりませんでした。景色は最高でした。

The meal was luxurious! The presentation of a whole roasted pig on a cart was impressive! After a photo session, we finally headed to the buffet. There was Hawaiian cuisine, fruits, of course the crispy-skinned roasted pig, roast beef, and desserts. At first, I thought there might not be enough variety, but once I started serving myself, I was completely full. The desserts were almost too much (since it's a buffet, you can go back for more).

The hula dance lesson that you can experience between meals and desserts was also interesting.

Finally, the show was truly entertaining and wonderful, and before I knew it, it was time to end.

食事は豪華！
ガラガラと台車に乗った仔豚の丸焼きの御披露目！それから写真撮影タイムを得て、いよいよビュッフェへ。ハワイアン料理やフルーツ、仔豚の丸焼きはもちろんパリパリの皮、ローストビーフ、デザートまでありました。初め品数が少ないかなと思いましたが、お皿に乗せてみる、そんなことなくお腹一杯になりました。デザートが苦しいくらいです（ビュッフェなので、料理はおかわりもできますよ）。
食事とデザートの合間に体験できるフラダンス講習も面白かったです。

最後にショーは皆さんが記載しているとおり、本当に面白く素晴らしく、あっという間に終了時刻となってしまいました。

It was a bit chilly with the wind, but as we started searching for the whales' spouts, we became so focused that it didn't matter anymore. As we ventured further out, we spotted the whales' tails and spouts! Everyone was moving from right to left, shouting excitedly. It was truly moving to see whales in this vast ocean.

少し風が冷たかったのですが、クジラの潮吹きを探し始めると必死になるため、そんなことは関係なくなってしまいました。沖に出るにつれてクジラの尾びれや潮吹きを見つけると！みんの右に左にと移動して、みんな声を出して騒いでいました。この広い海でクジラが見えるのは感動でした。

The weather was nice and sunny on the day, but unfortunately, we didn't see any whales. I was told there was a 95% chance of seeing them, which was disappointing. The interior of the boat was clean, the cocktails were delicious, and the scenery was beautiful.

当日は晴れて天候は良かったのですが、
ホエール見えず　見える確率95%と言われましたが残念でした。船内は綺麗でカクテルは美味景色も良かったです。

I had a great time horseback riding at Kualoa Ranch, where vast landscapes spread out before you. It's a bit of a distance to Kualoa Ranch, but it's worth the trip. It was unfortunate that the weather was cloudy and windy, but I think the views would be clear and beautiful on a sunny day. I thought I might get tired after two hours, but I didn't feel tired at all; the fun outweighed everything.

広大な景色が広がるクアロア牧場での乗馬体験とても楽しかったです。クアロア牧場まで距離はありますが、行く価値あります。天気が曇りで風が強かったのが残念でしたが、晴れだったら景色も澄んでて綺麗だと思いました。2時間で疲れるかなと思いましたが、全然疲れなく、楽しいが勝ちました。

On the fourth day of my stay in Hawaii, I visited Wet 'n' Wild Hawaii. When I arrived at the meeting place at the designated time, the driver was checking in guests. The shuttle bus did not have any logos for Wet 'n' Wild Hawaii.

We arrived in about 30 minutes, and while the park wasn't as large as I had imagined, that actually made it easier to get around without getting tired. The signature Tornado and water slides were, of course, fun, but I especially enjoyed trying the FlowRider with a bodyboard for the first time—it was a blast and I was very satisfied with the facility.

The attractions available inside the park seemed to be limited due to staffing, with different options available in the morning and afternoon. I recommend going back to enjoy the fun things you liked in the morning. If you opt for the all-you-can-drink or all-you-can-eat options, you show a paper wristband, but after a day of fun, it tends to get a bit worn out, so I think it's a good idea to hide it under the sleeve of your rash guard.

Having a pool experience in Hawaii was definitely a "yes" for me.

ハワイ滞在４日目にウェット・アンド・ワイルド・ハワイ訪問です。
集合時間に待ち合わせ場所に向かうと、ドライバーのおじさんが受け付けていました。送迎バスにウェット・アンド・ワイルド・ハワイのロゴ等はありません。
３０分程で到着し、広さはイメージしたほどは広くなかったものの、かえってその方が移動に疲れずよかったです。
名物のトルネードやウォータースライダーももちろん楽しかったのですが、ボディーボードを使ったフローライダーが初挑戦ながらとても楽しく、大満足の施設でした。
館内の稼働施設は人員の関係なのか、午前と午後で遊べるものが限られます。
午前中に面白かったものはまたすぐに行く事をおすすめします。
ドリンク飲み放題や食べ放題をオプションでつけた場合は紙製のリストバンドを見せるのですが、一日遊んでいるとだんだんボロボロになってくるので、普段はラッシュガードの袖で隠すといいと思います。
ハワイに来てのプール、非常に『あり』でした。

The ocean floor was much darker than I had imagined, giving me a strong impression of blue! However, I could still distinguish objects, and the transparent blue sea was indeed very mysterious. I had a great experience seeing sharks resting under a sunken airplane and sea turtles taking a break!

想像していたよりも海の底は光が届かないので、とにかく青！青！という印象でした。
ですが物の判別はできますし、透き通った青色をした海はやはりとても神秘的でした。
沈んだ飛行機の下でサメが寝ていたり、ウミガメが休憩していたり…とても楽しい体験をさせてもらいました！

I was happy to see the whale's spout and tail in the distance, but I was disappointed with the food on board, which was just light snacks and not very good in terms of quality or taste. The only thing I enjoyed was the strawberries, which were delicious, and I kept eating those. I wish the coffee had been good at least, but unfortunately, that was also disappointing.

鯨は、遠くで潮吹きと尾ひれが見えただけでしたが、それでも嬉しかったですね。ただ船内での食事は軽食とのことで、内容も味も良くなくがっかりでした。唯一フルーツのイチゴが美味しくそればかりをいただいていました。せめてコーヒーが美味しければ良かったのですが、それも残念ながらの状況でした。

The experience was great. We loved the view from the ceiling and the Luau dance. One thing that could have been done better is the food choice (given the culinary taste that different people have). We didn’t like the fish and chicken served. Overall it was good.

The sandbar itself doesn’t offer much to do, but it was a very beautiful place. It’s worth visiting at least once. I also thoroughly enjoyed the sea turtle watching and snorkeling. However, while there were no issues during snorkeling, it was quite cold after getting out, and I was shivering. But the hot cocoa they served at that time was really delicious. The timing was just right, and I was able to enjoy various activities, which was great.

サンドバー自体は特に何をするというわけではないですが、とてもきれいな場所でした。一度は行ってみると良いです。
ウミガメウォッチングやシュノーケリングも十分楽しめました。
ただ、シュノーケリング中は問題ありませんが、出たあとは、季節的に寒く、ぶるぶると震えていまうほどでしたが、その時に出させたホットココアがてとっても美味しかったです。時間的にもちょうどよく、いろいろ楽しめたのがよかったです。

2-Hour Horseback Riding Course

Unfortunately, it was raining quite heavily...
I wanted to cancel, but I couldn't.
I went wearing a raincoat.

The horses were very cute and it was fun!

I got completely soaked from the rain, and without a towel, waiting for about an hour for the bus in the cold was hell.
I really wished they had towels available...

Even though the horseback riding was scheduled for 11:00, I was picked up at 6:50 in the morning for some reason.
It took 45 minutes to get to Kualoa Ranch.
That left us with almost four hours of free time.

There are places to eat, but there were very few chairs indoors.

The horseback riding ended at 13:00, and the next bus was at 14:30, so we had to wait again.

I wish they had provided information about the bus schedule before making the reservation.

I recommend booking without transportation and using Uber or a taxi to get there.

The horses were adorable, and the scenery was amazing.
It would be perfect to go on a sunny day!

乗馬２時間コース

あいにくの雨でした
結構ザーザー降り…
キャンセルしたいけど出来ず。
カッパを着て行いました。

馬はとても可愛くて楽しかった！


雨でびしょ濡れになり、タオルもなく、
寒いなか１時間くらいバスを待つ時間が地獄でした。
タオルとか貸して欲しかった…

11:00からの乗馬なのに、
なぜか朝の6:50にピックアップ。
クアロア牧場までは45分。
４時間弱の暇。

ご飯食べるところはあるけど、室内は椅子が少なかった

13:00に乗馬終わり、次のバスは14:30
ここでも待ち時間。

バスの時間についても予約前に記載しておいてほしかった。

送迎なしで予約して、Uberなどタクシー使っていくのがおすすめ。

馬はかわいかったし、
景色もすごかった、
晴れてる日に行けたらサイコー！

150m parasailing experience

We participated with 10 people.
It seems the sea was rough, as 4 out of 10 people got really seasick.

The man who came to pick us up was funny and made it enjoyable.

The parasailing was amazing with the beautiful sea!

150mパラセーリング体験

10人で参加しました
海が荒れてたのか10人中4人船酔いが凄かった。

お迎えにきてくれたおじさんが面白くて楽しかったです。

パラサーリングは海綺麗で最高でしたー

I booked a breakfast buffet plan for the "Whale Watching Cruise - Star of Honolulu" with a choice of cultural experiences.

I didn't include transportation and took an Uber taxi from the hotel to Pier 8.

At that time, the weather in Hawaii was consistently "cloudy with occasional rain and strong winds," resulting in high waves.

<Breakfast>
You can freely choose from bread, rice, scrambled eggs (steamed eggs), American sausage, and cereal, along with coffee, tea, green tea, milk, and orange juice.

Around the time we finished breakfast, they provided an explanation about whale watching. Those who didn't have breakfast had to wait until we finished. The explanation was entirely in English, so I somewhat understood it while reading the translations from Google Translate's microphone mode.

<Cruise>
Announcements like "Let's work together to find the whales!" and "The ecology of whales is..." were continuously made in English. At first, I was full of enthusiasm, but the waves were intense, and the wind was strong. It was rocking a lot. As expected, I got seasick, and it became difficult to focus on whale watching. I usually don't get car or airplane motion sickness, but this was a different dimension. (The foreign guests around me seemed fine.) I couldn't spot any whales, and with the seasickness, it turned into quite a heavy activity.

However, those who couldn't see any whales are issued a ticket for another free cruise.

Due to my travel schedule, I didn't use the ticket, but I think it's great that they offer a chance.

Since this activity depends on nature, I recommend understanding that aspect and being prepared to accept the possibility of not seeing whales when making a reservation.

Also, I recommend bringing motion sickness medication.

「ホエールウォッチングクルーズ　スターオブホノルル号　選べるカルチャー体験」の朝食ビュッフェ付きプランを予約しました。

送迎は付けず、ホテルからpier8までUberタクシーで移動しました。

この時のハワイの天気は、連日「曇時々雨で一日中強風」というタイミングも重なり、波が高かったです。

<朝食>
パン、ごはん、スクランブルエッグ(スチームエッグ)、アメリカンソーセージ、シリアル
コーヒー、紅茶、緑茶、牛乳、オレンジジュース
これらから自由に選べます。

朝食を食べ終わる頃にホエールウォッチングの説明がされます。
朝食を食べ終わるまでの間、朝食なしの人は待っていることになります。
説明は全篇英語なので、Google翻訳のマイクモードで翻訳されたのを読みながら、なんとなく理解しました

<クルーズ>
「みんなで協力しあってくじらを見つけよう！」「くじらの生態は…」というようなアナウンスが終始英語で流れています。
最初はやる気に溢れていたのですが、なんせ波が、すごい。風も、すごい。揺れる。
案の定船酔いしてしまい、途中からホエールウォッチングどころではなくなってしまいました。
車酔いや飛行機酔いはしない方ですが、船は別次元でした。
(周りの外国人の方々は平気そうでした。)
くじらはを見つけることはできず、船酔いをし、なかなかヘビーなアクティビティになりました。

ただ、くじらを見れなかった人にもう一回無料でクルーズできるチケットが発行してもらえます。

旅程の都合でチケットは利用しませんでしたが、チャンスをもらえるのはいいと思います。

自然とのお付き合い次第のアクティビティなので、その点は理解し、諦めを覚悟して予約することをおすすめします。

それと、酔い止めをご持参されることをおすすめします。笑
