Oahu
I was able to stand on the board properly! I took a semi-private lesson, so I was really tired, but I had a great time!
ちゃんとボードに立てました(^^)
セミプライベートレッスンを受講したので、めちゃくちゃ疲れたけど(笑)、存分に楽しませてもらいました!
The weather was nice, and the waves were calm, making it the perfect day for parasailing. However, both the boat and the parasailing were rockier than expected, and there were a few people on the boat who got sick. I also felt a bit seasick, but I managed to hold on. The view from the sky was absolutely amazing.
天気も良く波も穏やかで最高のパラセーリング日和でした。
しかし、予想以上に船もそしてパラセーリングも揺れて、船上で吐く人がチラホラいました。
私も船酔いしたのですが、なんとか持ち堪えました。
空からの眺めは申し分なく最高でした。
Even as a beginner in horseback riding, I had a great time, and the staff were friendly and provided easy-to-understand explanations. The horses seemed accustomed to carrying inexperienced riders, which made me feel safe while riding.
乗馬未経験でも楽しめ、スタッフも親切で説明も分かり易く楽しめました。
馬も未経験者を乗せるのが慣れているようで、乗ってて安心できました。
That day was clear from the morning, perfect for parasailing, and I was itching to go as soon as I woke up.
On the boat that towed the parachute, there were 11 participants, including us, but for some reason, my husband and I were chosen first. Maybe our excitement was showing on our faces.
Once we boarded the parachute and it was released, we soared into the sky in an instant! The speed was incredible, and it took me by surprise for a moment, but I hardly felt scared.
As we reached a certain height, it became so stable that it felt like sitting in a chair, and from there, it was a graceful aerial stroll.
The panoramic view of Diamond Head and the hotels of Waikiki far below was truly breathtaking.
Although parasailing is considered a marine sport, in reality, you just sit there, so I think it can be enjoyed easily by children and the elderly alike. It's not as scary as you might think!
This is definitely an activity that I want many people to experience when they come to Hawaii!
その日は朝から快晴で絶好のパラセイリング日和で、起きたときから早くパラセイリングをしたくてウズウズしてました。
その日のパラシュートをけん引するボートには、私たちを含む11名の参加者がいたのですが、なぜか私たち夫婦が1番手に指名。
よほどウズウズが顔に出ていたのかもしれませんね。
さて私たちが乗り込んだパラシュートが解き放たれると、あっという間に大空に向けてブワーっと浮上!
ものすごい勢いなので一瞬ドキッとはしましたが、ほとんど怖さは感じませんでした。
そしてある程度の高さまで行くとまるでイスに座っているかのように安定するので、そこからはもう優雅な空中散歩です。
ダイヤモンドヘッドもワイキキのホテル群も遠く眼下に見える大パノラマは、もう圧巻の一言でした。
パラセイリングはマリンスポーツとは言っても、実際はただ座っているだけなので、お子さんでもご年配の方でも気軽に楽しめると思います。
思っているより怖くないです!
ハワイに来たら多くの方に絶対に体験してほしいアクティビティです!
A few days ago, I received a notification about a change in the horseback riding course. I was really looking forward to it, so it was disappointing that I couldn't reschedule due to the last-minute notice. Since it was a change for some event, I wondered if they had known about it earlier.
During the horseback riding, I didn't have to control the horse at all; it just walked along the designated path. The guide explained things a couple of times, but it was too far away, and I couldn't hear well. For the rest of the time, I was riding while checking my phone and making calls.
The horses were cute, and it was a fun experience overall. I recommend participating without high expectations for the guide, and just enjoy the horseback riding experience and the scenery.
数日前に、乗馬コースの変更連絡がありました。コースを楽しみにしていたのに直前の連絡でリスケできず残念でした。何かのイベントの為の変更だったので、もっと前から分かっていたのでは、、?と思いました。
乗馬は、特に自分で操作することも無く、馬がひたすら決められた道を歩きます。ガイドの女の子は2回ほどその場の説明していましたが、遠くてよく聞こえませんでした。そのほかの時間は乗馬しながら携帯でメールしたり電話していました。
馬は可愛いし、乗馬は楽しい経験でした。ガイドは期待せず、乗馬体験と景色を楽しみに参加されるのが、オススメです。
Ziplining at Climb Works was the greatest experience ever. My friend and I are scared of heights but we felt very safe and had a lot of fun. Our guides Jackie, Reece and Aio were super kind and made us laugh the entire time we were there. They lightened the mood and helped me forget about how high up I was. Even after we finished ziplining my friend and I could not stop talking about the experience and the fun we had on our time during this activity. I really recommend going to Climb Works if you are interested in going ziplining. You will definitely not regret going! I definitely cannot wait to go again!!!
It was truly a walk in the sky! Floating in the air while gazing at Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head was a calm and very elegant experience! Since I was with a group of foreigners, the driver and the boat instructor spoke only English, but they occasionally mixed in some Japanese, which made it very enjoyable. It's not an intense activity, so I think families with small children can enjoy it with peace of mind!
まさに空中散歩!
ワイキキビーチやダイアモンドヘッドを眺めながらの空中浮遊は穏やかで、とても優雅な時間を過ごすことが出来ました!外国人グループと一緒だったので、送迎のドライバーさんや、ボートのインストラクターなど、それぞれ英語だけでしたが、時おり日本語も交えて話してくださり、とても楽しかったです。
激しいアクティビティではないので、小さなお子さま連れでも安心して楽しめると思います!
Seeing dolphins up close was for the adults, while the children had a blast interacting with various sea animals at the facility, creating wonderful memories.
イルカを間近で見たのは大人が、
施設のいろんな海の動物に触れ合うのは子供たちが大はしゃぎで、思い出になりました。
We chose a VIP seat with meals for our honeymoon! When we arrived at the venue, we enjoyed welcome drinks and snacks, which was a lot of fun! The meal included a large lobster, meat dishes, fish dishes, bread, and dessert, leaving us completely satisfied! I didn't know how to eat the lobster, but the staff kindly taught me!
Once the show started, there were so many captivating moments, especially Michael and the fire show, which were impressive! At the end, we even got to take photos, making it the best trip to Hawaii ever!!
新婚旅行ということで、食事付きのVIP席にしました!会場に着いたらウェルカムドリンクを飲みながらおつまみも頂けて楽しめました!食事は大きなロブスター、お肉料理にお魚料理、パンとデザートがあり、お腹いっぱいで満足です!ロブスターは食べ方が分からなかったのですが、スタッフの方が親切に教えてくれました!笑笑
ショーが始まったら目の離せない場面ばかりで、特にマイケルとファイヤーショーが印象的です!ラストは写真まで撮って頂き、最高のハワイ旅行になりました!!
Thank you very much for visiting us. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed your time here. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you back when you come to Hawaii again.
この度はご来場頂きまして、誠に有難うございます。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。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。
The pickup was on time, and the staff's response was good. However, I couldn't enjoy parasailing. I had imagined that I would feel a sense of speed like riding a motorcycle at a high altitude, but it was more stable than I expected when I tried it. I was expecting something more like a thrill ride, so it felt a bit disappointing.
ピックアップも時間通りでスタッフの対応も良かった。
ただ自分がパラセイリングを楽しめなかった。
自分の勝手な想像だかバイクを乗っているような疾走感を高い場所で感じられるのかなと思っていたが、乗ってみると思った以上に安定していた。
絶叫マシン的なのを期待していたので肩透かしをくらったかんじです。
It was just a 10-minute program, but I was able to feed the dolphins three types of fish, dance with them using my favorite toy that I chose, and take a lot of photos with the dolphins. I'm really glad I participated in such a fulfilling program!
I think my enjoyment was also due to my complete lack of issues with English. Since communication with the trainers and the reception staff is in English, I imagine that those who lack confidence in their English conversation skills might only enjoy about 70-80% of the experience.
たったの10分のプログラムでしたが
イルカに3種類の餌の魚をあげたり
自分の選んだ好きなおもちゃでイルカと一緒に踊ったり、イルカと沢山の写真を撮っていただいて大変身のあるプログラムで参加して良かったです!
ただ私は英語能力に関しては全く問題ないのも楽しめた要因だと思います。トレーナーの皆さんや受付の方とコミュニケーションは英語になるので英会話に自信が無い方は楽しさも7-8割になるのかなぁと想像してます。
this was my first visit to oahu and the i had booked an introductory tour. it was a perfect start. our tour guide was really lovely with a good sense of humour . he was also knowledgeable about the local history and little areas of interest being a local interest.
there were lots of visits to some beautiful beaches and enough time at the waimea botanical gardens to go for a wander. the lunch was delicious. topped at the end a visit to the dole plantation.
i wish we had more time at the plantation to actually go out on the train to be amongst the growing pineapples which would have added to the experience
Aloha Neeti,
Thanks for your kind review. We have many places to go on the tour and have to return to Waikiki on time so we only can stay at Dole 30-45 minutes.
Aloha,
Michael
Before the show, we had a meal at the buffet. There was pork, beef, chicken, and white fish. I thought it was quite tasty.
The show was enjoyable with impersonators and fire dancing. It was really great that it ended with the Hawaii Five-O theme song!
ショーを観る前にブッフェ での食事をしました。豚も牛もチキンも白身魚もありました。普通に美味しいと思います。
ショーは、そっくりさんが出てきたり、ファイアーダンスがあったりと楽しめました。最後、ハワイファイブオーの曲で終演したのがとてもよかったです!
Thank you very much for visiting us. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed your time here. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you back when you visit Hawaii again.

It’s only a 30 min jet ski ride. Not 1 hr. So was disappointed. It was over really fast and you are only allowed to go in a circle lol
I was nervous during my first parasailing experience, but the view was beautiful and it was amazing! Although the language is English, the staff could speak a little Japanese, so there were no issues!
初めてのパラセーリングで緊張しましたが、景色も綺麗で最高でした!
言語が英語とありますが、スタッフの方たちは少し日本語が話せるので問題ありませんでした!
I chose a children's bike because it was too big for me to reach the pedals, but it was tough to ride! (laughs) The male guide spoke broken Japanese, but he was very friendly! He took a lot of photos for us. My husband's bike got a flat tire, but the cool female guide who was behind us responded quickly and really helped us out. It was a tour where we could truly feel the nature of Hawaii, and I was very satisfied.
What I messed up on was the tip! I got off the bike to thank them and ended up parting ways. I thought, "Wait, was I supposed to give the tip at that moment?!" I went back, but the male guide was already gone. I managed to give the tip to the female guide, though. I'm sorry because tipping is not a custom in Japan.
We were blessed with good weather, but I think if it had rained, I wouldn't have been able to manage since I don't usually ride bikes. There are also steep hills, so please be careful while riding to avoid injuries.
自転車が大きく足が届かないので子供用にしましたがこぐのが大変!(笑)
片言の日本語でしたが、とてもフレンドリーな男性ガイドさん!写真もたくさん撮っていただきました。
主人の自転車がパンクしましたが、後ろについてくれたかっこいい女性のガイドさんに迅速に対応していただいたりと本当にお世話になりました。
ハワイの自然を肌で感じられるツアーで大満足です。
失敗したのはチップ!自転車を降りてお礼を伝えて別れてしまいました。
あれ、あのタイミングで渡さないとダメだった⁉︎となり戻りましたが、男性ガイドさんはもう見当たらず、なんとか女性ガイドさんに渡すことはできましたが。
チップの習慣が日本にはないので申し訳なかったです。
天気に恵まれましたが、雨だったら普段自転車に乗らない私は無理だったかな、と思います。急な坂もありますので怪我しないよう気をつけて運転して下さいね。
Great experience but wish it was with better weather. High tide and very choppy waters made visibility difficult. Still a good opportunity!
I splurged on VIP seats for Michael, which I was really looking forward to! First, we enjoyed the meal, and then the opening! I was focused on the front, so I was surprised! We had a fantastic time with Presley, a local singer, and of course, Michael, along with hula and fire dancing.
The portion sizes were just right, and the staff was efficient. I think the show is well-adjusted for various age groups, so it would be great for families to experience together. After the show, they are friendly and willing to take photos with you.
マイケルを楽しみに奮発してVIP席を取りました!
まず、食事を堪能してから、オープニング!前方を注視していたので、ビックリしました!プレスリーと地元の歌手の方、楽しみにしていたマイケル、フラ、ファイアーダンスとてんこ盛りで楽しめました。
食事の量も丁度よく、スタッフもテキパキ。ショーの内容は、いろんな年代に広くアジャストするものだと思うので、ファミリーで体験するのも良いのではないかと思います。ショーの後も、気さくに写真撮影に応じてくれます。
Thank you very much for visiting us. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed your time here. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you back when you come to Hawaii again.

I participated in Shark Watch for the first time. The staff were kind, and I had a very enjoyable time. The sharks don't come towards the cage, so it wasn't too scary to see them.
はじめてシャークウォッチに参加しました。
スタッフの方々も優しく、とても楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。
サメは、ゲージ自体に向かってくることもないので、そこまでの怖さもなくサメを見ることができます。
My son saw it on TV and said he wanted to try parasailing! There are various operators in Hawaii, but we decided on one that had no unnecessary options, reasonable prices, and a short duration, which were appealing to us. We booked a 150m session starting at 9 AM. We had a simple breakfast in our hotel room (spam onigiri and drinks), used the restroom, and waited for the pickup in the hotel lobby. Based on reviews mentioning seasickness on the boat, both my son and I took motion sickness medication on the bus. My son has never experienced motion sickness, but just in case. After giving birth, I have become a bit prone to nausea on rides like roller coasters.
The boat departs from the marina near the Prince, past the Hilton. There were five groups together. Once the boat went offshore, the parasailing opened up with a whoosh! The rainbow-colored parachute stood out beautifully against the sky, and it was so cute. Our excitement skyrocketed. After putting on life jackets and equipment, we took off in order. We were the second group. We quickly ascended to 150m, and the view was unlike anything we had ever seen! We could see the mountains of Hawaii, the outline of the island, and our parachute's shadow on the ocean, which felt absolutely wonderful. Initially, I was worried about the fear of heights, but it was so high (laughs) that I wasn't scared at all. Up there, it was stable with no swaying or wind. Both my son and I kept exclaiming how great it felt! The scenery was amazing! After about 10 minutes, the descent began, but I wasn't scared at all during this time either. The moment we landed, my son kept saying he wanted to do it again! He was laughed at by the others who were with us. The total time, including the round trip, was about an hour and a half. It was on time as stated on the website, and we were able to use the rest of the morning meaningfully after returning to the hotel. The crew was attentive, making sure everyone didn’t get seasick with high-fives, encouragement, pranks, and jokes. My son and I thoroughly enjoyed it. We will definitely repeat this. For families with children, I recommend the early morning sessions when they aren't too tired.
Lastly, a realistic note. One person in our group was nervous from the start, worried about getting seasick, and actually ended up vomiting on the boat. They mentioned they had taken motion sickness medication as well. Since there are many other fun things to do in Hawaii, I don't think those who are prone to motion sickness in their daily lives should force themselves to do this. Since it's a trip, you don't have to be fixated on parasailing. However, if you have experience getting nauseous on extraordinary rides like roller coasters, you don't need to be too nervous. You get to see the best views, and it's a unique experience of traveling, so it's better to relax and just enjoy it!
息子がテレビで見て、パラセーリングをやってみたい!と言い出しました。ハワイでは色々な業者さんがいますが、不要なオプションがなくて値段が手頃、所用時間が短い、この2点が私たちには魅力的だったので決定。9時から、150mを申し込みました。当日の朝食はホテルの部屋で簡単に済ませ(スパムおにぎりと飲み物)、トイレも済ませ、ホテルのロビーでピックアップを待ちました。口コミで、ボートで酔うと書いあったのを参考に、酔い止めはバスの中で、息子も私も飲みました。息子は乗り物で酔った経験なしですが、念のため。私は出産後、ジェットコースターなどでは少し酔うようになったので。
ボートは、ヒルトンの先、プリンス近くのマリーナから出ます。5組が一緒。ボートが沖合に出ると、パラセーリングがバサっ!と、開かれます。レインボーカラーのパラシュートが空に映え、すごく可愛い。テンションがいっきに上がります。ライフジャケットと器具をつけたら、順に、すぐに飛びます。私たちは2組目。150m まであっという間に上がり、見たことのない景色が! ハワイの山々が見えて、島のラインが分かり、海に私たちのパラシュートの影がうつり、とてもとても気持ちがいいです。当初、高さへの恐怖を心配しましたが、高すぎて(笑)、まったく怖くなかったです。上空はゆれもなく、風もなく、安定してました。私も息子も、気持ちいいー!を連発。景色が最高でした! 10分ぐらい経つと下降が始まりますが、この間もまったく怖くなかったです。降りた瞬間、息子は、またやりたい!すぐやりたい!と言いまくり。一緒に乗っていた方に爆笑されてました。所用時間、往復もふくめ、総所要時間は1時間半程度。HPに書いてあったとおりのオンタイムで、ホテルに戻ってからも午前中の残りを有意義に使えました。乗組員のスタッフの方も、みんなが酔わないように、ハイタッチや声がけ、いたずらやジョークなど、ずっと、気にして声をかけてくださいます。息子も私も大満喫。私たちは必ずまたリピートします。お子さん連れは、疲れが溜まってない、朝早い回をオススメします。
最後に現実的な話。一緒のグループにいらした方は、最初から、酔いやすいから心配……とナーバスで、実際にボートで酔って吐いていました。酔い止めも飲んでいたとのこと。他に楽しいことが沢山あるハワイなので、バスや電車など、日頃の生活でも酔いやすい方は無理してやることはないと思います。せっかの旅行なのでパラセーリングにこだわらなくてもです。ただ、私みたいにジェットコースターとか、非日常的な乗り物で酔った経験のある方ならば、そこまでナーバスにならなくても。最高の景色が見れて、旅行ならではの経験だから、あまり構えず、とにかく楽しんだ方がいいです。
If I go to Hawaii, I will definitely ride it! You can see it from offshore at Waikiki Beach, and I enjoy riding the waves. Please take care of me next time I go to Hawaii.
ハワイに行ったら、必ず乗ります!
ワイキキビーチの沖から見れるし、波に乗って楽しみます。次回ハワイに行った時も、宜しくお願いします。
We went as a group of three, and the horses were incredibly gentle! It was my second time riding, but I was worried because my two friends were riding for the first time and none of us spoke English. However, there was no need for concern at all. The number of participants was just right, and the staff were neither too close nor too distant.
The course was not artificial; we crossed sandy beaches and rivers. The sunset we saw when we got used to the horses was truly beautiful and the best part of the experience.
The riding distance was just right, making it an excellent horseback riding experience.
3人で行きましたが
なんと言っても馬が優しい❗️
2回目の乗馬でしたが
初めて乗馬する仲間が2人と
3人共英語が話せないので
内心、心配してましたが
全く心配なく
参加人数も多すぎず
スタッフも近過ぎず
しかも作られたコースでは無く
砂浜や川を渡ったり
馬に慣れて来た頃に観た
サンセットは本当に綺麗で
最高でした。
乗馬距離も程よく
最高の乗馬でした。
I attended a relative's wedding in Hawaii... aloha
The day before, we had a family dinner and went to see the Rock-a-Hula show, which I had really wanted to see when coming to Hawaii. ☝️
It was the best show where I could enjoy it together with the cast, just as I expected. The staff were friendly, which added to the fun.
Next time, I will go to see it with my friends.
親戚の結婚式がありハワイへ………aloha
前日、会食を兼ね親戚皆で
ハワイに来たら是非観たかった
ロック・ア・フラショーに行ってきました。☝️
期待通りにキャストと一緒に楽しめる最高のショーでした。
スタッフの方も気さくで愉しさが増しました。
次はお友達と一緒に観にいきます。
Thank you very much for visiting us. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed your time here. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you back when you come to Hawaii again.
この度はご来場頂きまして、誠に有難うございます。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。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 attended in late October 2019. The venue was beautiful, and there were relatively few guests, allowing us to enjoy the show comfortably. The content was a fusion of rock, pop, and hula, including impersonations of Michael Jackson, which were entertaining. However, overall, I felt the material was a bit outdated and lacked excitement.
I think the show would be more interesting if it mixed new and old elements more effectively.
2019年10月下旬に参加しました。
会場は綺麗で、比較的客数も少なく、ゆったりとショーを楽しむことが出来ました。ロックやポップとフラを融合した内容です、マイケル・ジャクソンの物真似など、面白い内容ですが、全体的にネタが古く、イマイチ盛り上がりに欠けると思います。
新旧織り交ぜるともっと面白いショーになると感じました。
Thank you very much for visiting us. We appreciate your valuable feedback. We will work together as a team to address the challenges ahead. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you again on your next visit to Hawaii.
この度はご来場頂き、誠に有難うございます。貴重なご意見、有難うございます。今後の課題として、スタッフ全員で改善に取り組みたいと思います。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 was thrilled to see dolphins so clearly! I didn't expect to see them up close, so it was truly moving. The slide activity was incredibly fun!
イルカがばっちり見れて最高でした!
こんなに近くで見れると思ってなかったので感動でした。
アクティビティの滑り台が最高に楽しかったです!
from start to finish a must do for families wanting that extra fun activity to do. picked up from central location from hotel and dropped off at pier. very organized after drop off and staff very friendly and knowledgeable. my daughter and I enjoyed the vessel and the captain doing narration & made it fun
Mahalo for your review! We’re so happy you enjoyed your time exploring Hawaii's marine life. We're glad you had a fun time adventuring with us. We hope you’ll join us again soon! Mahalo!
We had some much fun!! Even with the rain it was a really enjoyable experience.
I went with my son, who is in the upper grades of elementary school, and my family of three. This was our second visit, as we went last year as well. The weather was nice, the crowd was just right, and it was a very enjoyable day. Climbing the stairs to participate in the attractions was quite tiring, but my son enjoyed it without a care.
I definitely want to go again.
小学校高学年の息子と家族3人で行きました。昨年も行って、2回目の訪問です。お天気も良く、混み具合もちょうど良くとても楽しい1日でした。アトラクションに参加するために階段を上って行くのがとても疲れましたが、そんなことはお構いなしに息子は楽しんでいました。
是非また行きたいです。
From the pick-up to the parasailing, everything was enjoyable without any issues! I felt reassured when they spoke a little Japanese. I chose the 150m parasailing, and it went really high, offering a fantastic view. We went in the morning and finished by noon, so I think we made good use of our day.
送迎からパラセイリングまで、問題なく楽しめました!
日本語も少し話してもらって安心できました。
パラセイリングは150mにしましたが、すごく高くまで上がり、景色が一望できました。
朝から行って午前中には終わったので、1日の時間が有効活用できると思います。
We had a great experience with the shuttle to Hanauma Bay. The driver was very polite and helpful. The van was comfortable and the timing was perfect. The company representative I talked to on the phone was very helpful and gave me excellent advice on where to park our car while we were on the excursion. I would highly recommend this experience. Well worth the price!
