Oahu
On the flight there, I previewed "King Kong" and "The Lost World," and with that lingering feeling, it truly felt like I had stepped into the world of the movies. The guide for the movie bus tour was interesting, and the food was delicious.
For horseback riding, the site mentioned a height requirement of over 140 cm, but the paper distributed on the bus stated it was over 137 cm. Since my son is 138 cm, I thought I should have signed up for the tour that included horseback riding instead of the one that didn't.
行きの飛行機の中で「コング」と「ロストワールド」を予習してので、その余韻もあって、本当に映画の中の世界に紛れ込んだようでした。映画バスツアーのガイドさんの話も面白く、食事も美味しかったです。
乗馬は、サイトには140cm以上と書いてありましたが、バスの中で配られたアトラクションを選ぶ紙には、137cm以上と書いてあり、息子は138cmだったので、乗馬を含まないツアーで申し込んだのに、それなら乗馬がある方で申し込めば良かったなと思いました。
The photos are very beautiful, and I was able to fully enjoy the sea and sky of Hawaii. However, since the sea can be a bit rough, I recommend taking motion sickness medication.
お写真もとっても綺麗でハワイの海と空を堪能できました。ただ海が少し荒いので酔い止めを飲むことをお勧めします。
At the strong request of my 6-year-old daughter, I participated with my 9-year-old son.
There weren't many places that allowed parasailing for 6-year-olds, so we signed up here where it was possible for ages 5 and up.
Since it was my first time parasailing as well, I felt a bit anxious about experiencing it with my daughter, who was right at the age limit.
Together, we didn't even weigh 70 kilograms, and I wondered if we might get blown away if the wind picked up.
However...
My daughter was completely unafraid and smiled the whole time. She was so excited, saying it was like a swing and so much fun!
Since it was our first time, we challenged ourselves to 90 meters, but because the water was below, I didn't feel the height much at all and wasn't scared at all.
She enjoyed jumping into the sea, exclaiming how cold it was!
Now she wants to try an even higher parasailing next time.
My 9-year-old son is not fond of heights, so he watched from the boat, but thankfully, he didn't feel any seasickness, possibly thanks to the motion sickness medication he took just in case. He seemed to really enjoy just being out on the boat with the refreshing wind.
When we boarded, there were three other groups with us, but we were the only Asians.
However, everyone came together, blasting music and enjoying it in true American style, which was great.
The staff were also entertaining and very kind to the children.
If we have the chance again, we would love to come back here!
6歳の娘のたっての希望で9歳の息子と参加しました。
他のところでは6歳でパラセーリングができるところはあまりなかったので、5歳以上可能とのこちらで申し込みました。
私自身もパラセーリング初体験だったので、体験する前は年齢制限ギリギリの娘と一緒にパラセーリングを体験する事に少し不安もありました。
体重も二人合わせて70キロもないし、風がふいたら飛ばされちゃうんじゃないかなー、と。
しかし、、、、
娘は全く怖がらず、終始笑顔。
ブランコみたいで楽しいー!!と大興奮でした。
初めてだったので90メートルに挑戦したのですが、下が海なので、高さもあまり感じず、全く怖くなかったです。
定番の海にお尻ポチャもつめたーいっ!と言いながらとっても楽しんでいました。
今度はもっと高いパラセーリングに挑戦したいそうです。
9歳の息子は高いところが苦手なので、ボートで見学だったのですが、心配していた船酔いも、念のために服用した酔い止めが効いていたのか全くなく、ボートで沖に出るだけでも、風が気持ちよく、とても楽しかったようです。
私たちが乗船した時は他に3組の方々がいらっしゃったのですが、アジア人は私たちだけ。
しかしみんなが一体となり、音楽をガンガンかけ、アメリカのノリで楽しめたのも良かったです。
スタッフの方も面白く、子供たちにとっても優しかったです。
また機会があったら、こちらでお願いします!!
We have to admit, we were really scared at first, but both ziplining and ATV were super fun and the guides were pretty nice and good.
Our wedding party went as a group and all agreed it was the highlight of our trip. Highly recommend! Good lunch and great crew with phenomenal snorkeling. We swam with large sea turtles and it was amazing!
At first, it was cloudy, and I was worried because the color of the sea wasn't very nice.
After that, I was very moved to see a wild sea turtle, and then we went to the sandbar.
A few minutes after arriving, the weather cleared up, and it was very beautiful. I thought it would be a bit shallower, but it was surprisingly deep.
最初は曇ってて、あまりいい海の色ではなく心配しておりました。
その後、野生のウミガメを見れて、とても感動後、サンドバーへ
ついてから、数分後天気も晴れて、とっても綺麗でした。
もう少し浅瀬かと思いきや、意外と深かったです
Expected the glass to be under our feet but we had to get up and look through box, it was ok
Had a blast on this event! Although we did not see dolphins up close, we still saw amazing sea life and beautiful waters! First time snorkeling out this far and it was awesome! Worked up an appetite and the crew hit it off with some tasteful grub!!! Shaka to the crew!!!
Awesome crew!!! Made our boat ride enjoyable and our experience that much more exciting.
It was my first time parasailing in Hawaii. We were the only Japanese people there, and since we could only communicate in English, I only understood bits and pieces of what was being said, but it was fun even at 120 meters! In fact, there was no confirmation of how many meters we were going, so even if I paid for the 150-meter option, I might not have been able to tell the difference. I bought the photos for $30! Don't forget that tips are also necessary.
Hawaiiでは初めてのパラセーリング。
日本人は私たちだけで英語でしか通じないため、話してる内容はなんとなくしかわかりませんでしたが、120mでも楽しかったです!むしろ、何メートルですって確認はなかったので、150mの料金を払っても体感ではわからないかも。写真は30ドルで買いました!チップも必要ですので、忘れずに。
Good time had by all. Loved the turtles! Delicious cheeseburgers
Had an enjoyable and unforgettable evening, beautiful entertainers...will definitely come again!
Had an awesome & knowledgeable tour guide on the bus...way to go "K"
We participated as a group of four. At first, we preferred canoeing, but the initial part was free time. The kayak was difficult to paddle against the headwind on the way out, but it was fast on the return with the tailwind. Tomo's explanation on the uninhabited island was very good. Thank you very much.
4人で参加しました。最初カヌーがよかったのですが、最初がフリータイムでした。カヤックが向かい風で行きはなかなか進みませんでしたが、帰りは追い風で早かったです。無人島でのトモさんの説明がとてもよかったです。ありがとうございました。
We participated as a family. Before joining, I was a bit worried that the height might be scary, but it was fine. There are seven zip lines and two suspension bridges, and the total time, including travel, is about two hours with explanations in English. The shuttle service is shared with other tours from Kualoa Ranch, and once you arrive, you check in on your own. I wasn't sure about the return bus schedule, so I asked at the entrance reception. We were picked up after 7 and returned to Honolulu around 2 PM.
家族で参加しました。参加する前は、高さがあったら怖いかなとも予想していましたが、大丈夫でした。7つのジップラインと2つのつりばしがあり、時間は移動時間も含めて2時間ぐらいで説明は英語です。送迎は、他のクアロア牧場のツアーの人と一緒で、現地に着いたら自分で受付などをします。帰りのバスの時間がわからず、入り口の受付で聞きました。7時過ぎのピックアップでホノルルに戻ってきたのが、2時頃でした。
It was a fun show that I would like to attend again. However, while they did their best, the singing ability of each performer didn't quite match the real thing, and since I was imagining the originals, I felt a bit unsatisfied. Video recording was not allowed, but taking photos was okay.
また行きたいと思う楽しいショーでした。ただ頑張っておられましたが各歌手の歌唱力がさすがに本物に及ばず、本物をイメージして鑑賞しているだけに少し物足りなさを感じてしまいました。動画はダメですが写真撮影はオッケーでした
Thank you very much for visiting us. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you again when you come to Hawaii.
この度はご来場頂きまして、誠に有難うございます。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。
We participated as a family of three, including our 10-year-old daughter. It was our first experience, but there were friendly staff members who spoke Japanese, so we felt at ease enjoying the sky walk. While moving by boat, we were able to see sea turtles, and there was an option to have photos taken on an SD card for $30. Since our family wanted to ride together, we requested the photo service. After returning home and checking the card, we found about 80 beautiful pictures, including the scenery, and we were glad we made the request. Among the optional activities on this trip, it was the most enjoyable and affordable, so next time, I want to challenge the 150m option. I highly recommend this tour; you'll want to give a tip!
娘10歳を含めて家族三人で参加しまた。初体験でしたが日本語も話せる親切なスタックもいて安心して空の散歩を楽しむ事が出来ました。ボートで移動中にウミガメを見せて貰ったり、30ドルでSDカードに写真を撮って貰えるオプションが有ったので私達家族は三人同時に乗る為、撮影をお願いしました。帰国してカードを確認しましたが景色も含め、綺麗に80枚程入っておりお願いして良かったです。今回の旅行のオプショナルの中で安価なのに一番楽しかったので、次回は150mにチャレンジしたい思ってます。チップを渡したくなるおすすめツアーですよ。
It was fun and we had a good time. However, the boat ride was not good and we got really sick due to extreme motion. We were so afraid to throw up on the boat or when we were up in the sky!
This tour was great for seeing movie sites and that's beautiful Ranch. But if you're looking for a little excitement and Adventure on your ATV this is definitely not the tour. You are not allowed to drive over 10 miles per hour. We enjoyed the tour. It just wasn't what we thought it would be.
After arriving at the location, I tried to make a reservation for the ZipLine at Kualoa Ranch, but it was fully booked until my return date. Just when I was in trouble, I found this ZipLine at Keana Farm online and was able to make a reservation through VELTRA. There were hardly any Asian guests besides us, and the English-only service heightened the overseas experience even more.
現地入りしたあとに、クアロア牧場のZipLineの予約をしようとしたら帰国日までなんと満席で予約できず。困ったところにこのKeana FarmのZipLineをネットで見つけて、VELTRAさん経由で予約できました。
自分達意外にアジア人客がおらず、英語のみの対応で海外気分がより高まりました。
Snorkeling in Hawaii for the first time.
With excitement and nervousness, as I entered the water, it felt like a different world.
There were big fish and colorful tropical fish!
When I fed them bread for bait, I was surrounded by many fish.
It's a memory I'll cherish for a lifetime.
初めてのハワイにシュノーケリング。
ドキドキとワクワクの中で、
海に入るとそこは別世界。
大きいお魚や色とりどりの熱帯魚!
餌用のパンを与えると、
沢山の魚に囲まれていました。
一生の思い出です。
On our last night in Waikiki, my husband and I participated in this event. First, we were welcomed with a welcome drink and entered the venue. We had about 90 minutes for dinner, which allowed us to enjoy our meal at a leisurely pace. Lobster, salmon, and steak were served. The taste was just okay. Next, the show began, featuring Hawaiian hula dancing, fire dancing, and impersonation acts, all accompanied by a Hawaiian band. There were many foreign participants, and I thought that if you don't understand English, it might be difficult to grasp what was being said. However, it was a lively and enjoyable time.
ワイキキ最後の夜に、夫婦二人で参加しました。まず、ウェルカムドリンクでおもてなしを受け、会場に入ります。食事の時間が90分程度あり、ゆっくりいただけました。ロブスターやサーモン、ステーキが出てきます。お味はまあまあといったところでした。次にショーが始まり、ハワイのバンドの演奏に合わせて、ハワイアンのフラダンスやファイヤーダンス、ものまねショーが見られます。外国の方の参加が多く、英語がわからないと何を言っているのか理解できないこともあると思いました。しかし、賑やかで楽しいひと時でした。
Thank you very much for visiting us this time. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you again when you come to Hawaii.
この度はご来場頂きまして、誠に有難うございます。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。
At North Shore, most of the riders were Westerners, and there were few Japanese people. I couldn't forget the horseback riding at Turtle Bay, so this time I decided to try the Hawaii Polo Club. This club trains retired polo horses for riding. The horse I rode was gentle and easy to ride. We set off with a group of six: four Western families, one solo Western rider, and me! It was a bit windy, but walking near the ocean was very pleasant. I was a little disappointed that we couldn't canter. It's about a 15 to 20-minute taxi ride from the town of Haleiwa towards Mokuleia Beach. Since there is no shuttle service, it's convenient to go by rental car. I would love to go again when I visit Hawaii.
ノースショアは、乗馬してる人は欧米人ばかりで、日本人は少ないです。タートルベイでの乗馬が忘れられず、今回はHawaii Polo Clubに行ってみました。ここはPolo競技を引退した馬を乗馬用に調教して乗せてくれるクラブでした。私が乗った馬も穏やかで安心して乗れる馬でした。欧米人の家族連れ4人とお一人様欧米人と私の6名で出発!少し風が強かったですが、すぐ側に海が迫っている場所を歩くのは、とても気持ち良かったです。駈歩はさせてくれないのが少し残念でした。ハレイワの町からタクシーでモクレイアビーチ方面に向かって15分〜20分位の場所です。送迎無しなのでレンタカーで行くの
が便利です。またハワイに来たら行きたいです。
There were many types of water slides, and it was really fun. However, the ground was very hot, and I felt like I could get burned if I went barefoot. If I wore sandals, I would have to take them off when going on the slides, so I would be in trouble if I lost them... I wish I had brought some inexpensive sandals from a 100 yen shop that I wouldn't be sad to lose.
たくさんの種類のウォータースライダーがあってとても楽しかったです。でも地面がとても熱くて裸足だと火傷しそうでした。サンダルを履いて行くと、スライダーに乗るときは脱がなきゃいけないので無くなると困るし…ということで、100円ショップなどの安い無くなっても悲しくないサンダルを持っていけばよかったなと感じました。
I was exhausted, but it was a fun experience. I drank a lot of seawater, couldn't stand up while surfing, and got sunburned all over, but it felt like Hawaii!
くたくたに疲れたけど楽しい体験でした。海水いっぱい飲んだし、サーフィン立てなかったし、日焼けで真っ赤になったけどハワイ〜って感じ
I accidentally booked a tour with an English guide and was worried, but both the guide and the driver were kind, and I had a very enjoyable time. I went up to 90 meters, which was a sufficient height to get a beautiful view of Waikiki. Many people seemed to give a tip of $20 for two people.
間違って英語ガイドのツアーを予約してしまい不安でしたが、ガイドの方も運転手の方も優しく、とても楽しい時間を過ごせました。
90メートルにしましたが、十分な高さで、ワイキキの街が一望できとても綺麗でした。
チップは2人で20ドル渡されている方が多かったです。
I participated in the underwater scooter, snorkeling, and sandbar activities, but the underwater scooter was the main focus, with snorkeling and the sandbar as waiting activities. At the sandbar, there wasn't much to do, and it felt both boring and cold, but I think many people felt it was better than getting seasick on the boat. I wish they would consider adding more content to the experience.
水中スクータとシュノーケリングとサンドバーの部妾に参加しましたが、水中スクータがメインで、待ち時間にシュノーケリングとサンドバーといった感じでした。
サンドバーでは特にすることがなく、暇なうえ寒いといった感じでしたが、船上にもどって酔うよりはマシといった人が多かったと思います。
もう少し内容を考えてほしいと思いました。
I entered as soon as it opened and stayed until 3 PM, but time flew by.
It was relatively uncrowded, and almost all attractions had a wait time of around 15 minutes.
I think it's a place you should visit at least once when you come to Hawaii.
オープンと同時に入って3時まで滞在しましたが、あっという間に時間が過ぎました。
比較的すいていて、ほぼ全てのアトラクションが15範囲内の待ち時間でした。
ハワイに来たら一回は行くべきだと思います。
The surfing itself was refreshing and enjoyable, but there was hardly any explanation, and it ended after just two waves in about 25 minutes. It felt a bit overpriced for such a brief experience.
波乗り自体は爽快で楽しいものでしたが、説明もほとんどなく2回波に乗って25分ほどで終わりました.呆気なく割高に感じました.
Thank you very much for participating in the tour. However, I sincerely apologize for not being able to provide a service that meets your expectations.
During the canoe surfing tour you participated in, our local staff strives to ensure that customers can ride the waves at least twice and enjoy the tour. Depending on the conditions of the day, it is possible to ride more than twice, but we determined that two rides were appropriate based on the conditions on that day. We will work with the operating company to improve the explanation of the tour on-site.
Thank you very much for taking the time to share your experience.

この度は、ツアーにご参加いただき誠にありがとうございます。
しかしながら、ご満足いただけるサービスを提供できませんでしたこと、心よりお詫び申し上げます。
ご参加いただきましたカヌー・サーフィンのツアーではお客様に最低でも2回は波に乗っていただき、ツアーをお楽しみいただけるよう現地スタッフがサービスに努めております。その日の状況次第で2回以上波に乗ることもございますが、当日の状態を見て2回までと判断させていただきました。現地でのツアー説明に関しましては、改善に向けて催行会社と努めてまいります。
お忙しい中、体験談のご投稿、誠にありがとうございました。

This was my second time on the zip line! It was amazing! I want to go again so badly!
It started to rain (a downpour?) halfway through, and I got completely soaked, but it only lasted about 10 minutes before the sky cleared up again. Of course, I didn't have a raincoat or anything, so I was wet the whole time. It was so much fun that I thought, "Anything goes!"
However, there was a problem with the pickup location. Even though I arrived on time, it seemed like they decided I wasn't there right away, and I ended up waiting for 30 minutes. I had to call them to finally get picked up, which was good, but this happened both the first and second time, and it was really frustrating.
I would have appreciated it if they could have specified the location more clearly or called out names to help with the pickup.
If I get the chance to go again, I would definitely like to participate!
ジップライン2回目です!最高です!
本当にもう一回行きたい!と思えほど最高です。
途中で雨(スコール?)が降って来て、びしょ濡れになりましたが、10分くらい降ってすぐまた快晴になりました。
もちろん、カッパなどはありませんので、ま濡れながらです。楽しいので、なんでもありって思っちゃいます!!
ただ、ピックアップの場所の指定が難ありです。集合時間に着いているのに、すぐ居ないと判断されたみたいで、30分経ってもずーっと待ちぼうけでした。
こちらが電話をしてなんとか、迎えに来てもらえたのでよかったですが、1回目も2回目もそんな状況で、本当に困ります。
もう少し具体的に、場所を指定してもらったり、名前を読み上げてもらったり、そんな対応をして頂けたらもっと嬉しかったです。
また行ける機会があれば、是非参加したいです!
We went for a premium tour with a large submarine (65 seats). The windows are large but tinted and the view is therefore less clear. Aided by loads of sand that cannot settle by so many submarines' tours during each day, the visibility is really low. The tour includes views of two ship racks and some airplane racks that turned artificial coral reefs. All of this is on a sandy bottom and there is no fish in between the racks. So overall, very little is seen really on those tours. I fully support the decision not to disturb the natural reefs and fish habitats but I think that the tour is overpriced for what one can see on this tour.
