Oahu
In mid-August, I experienced this with my 8-year-old daughter. Since my daughter is small, we didn't meet the weight requirement with other companies, but we were able to participate in this tour as we met the minimum here. I had imagined being secured in something like a simple chair, but I was surprised that we were only supported by a thick belt. When you jump, there's no sense of speed, and occasionally the wind blows and sways, but it gives you a strange feeling of floating in the sky. My daughter was a little scared (not to the point of crying), but I think it was a good experience for her to muster up the courage to jump! We were the first of five groups to jump, and while the others were jumping, my daughter got motion sickness. I think it's a good idea for those who are prone to motion sickness to bring anti-nausea medication and a bag for emergencies.
8月中旬、8歳娘と一緒に母娘で体験しました。
娘が小柄なので、他社さんでは合計体重が基準を下回っていましたが、こちらのツアーでは下限に達していたので参加できました。
簡易なイスのようなものに固定されるのを想像していましたが、実際には太いベルトのようなもので支えるだけで驚きました。飛び上がってしまうと、スピード感はなく、ときどき風が吹いて揺れますが、空に浮かんでいるような不思議な感覚です。
娘は少し怖がっていましたが(泣くほどではなく)、勇気を出して飛んだことは良い経験になったかなと思います!
5組のうち私たちが1番目に飛び、他の方が飛んでいる間に娘は船酔いしてしまいました。酔いやすい方は酔い止め&エチケット袋を持っておくと良いと思います。
The explanation was in English, so I couldn't understand what the instructor was saying. I was at the back, so there was a lot of dust. By the end, my ears were filled with dirt, and my T-shirt had dust on it from the seatbelt. It's good to bring a change of clothes, but I recommend bringing a towel! It helps to wash your hands and face properly. Wearing long pants is necessary to block out the sun. They give you a neck warmer-type bandana, but I think it's better to have a regular mask underneath that. The course was magnificent, and the scenery was great. However, there was a delay because the car in front of me broke down suddenly, which caused us to take a shortcut on the course (as mentioned by a Japanese person who experienced it before). That was disappointing, and I was also let down because I requested the afternoon session, but the pickup was at 8 AM, and I had nothing to do until it started at 12 PM.
英語での説明だったのでインストラクターの言っていることもわからずでした。
最後尾でついて行ったのでホコリがものすごかったです。終了時には耳の中も土埃、Tシャツにはシートベルトの跡がつくほど埃がついていました。着替え持参も良いですが、タオル持参!をオススメします。手や顔をしっかり洗えるから。
長ズボン着用は日差しを遮るのにも必要です。
ネックウォーマー型のバンダナ?をあてがわれますがその下に通常のマスクはあった方が良いと思います。
コースは雄大で景色も良かった〜。
ただ、目の前の車が急な故障で止まって時間のロスがありコースをショートカットされてしまいました。(以前に体験した日本人が言っていた)それが残念⤵だったのと午後の部希望したのにピックアップが8時で到着してから始まる12時まで何もすることなくてがっかりでした。
It was a very enjoyable tour. I always enjoyed the ocean in Hawaii, but the mountains were amazing too! I was overwhelmed by the magnificent nature. In the second half, there was a spot where water splashed everywhere, and it was so much fun!
とても楽しいツアーでした。
いつもハワイは海を堪能していたのですが、山も最高でした!
雄大な自然に圧倒されました。
後半にはお水がバッシャーンとかかるスポットも用意されており、とっても盛り上がりました!
The bus provided pick-up near the hotel, and the interior was comfortable. When we arrived at the location, the Japanese staff explained everything in detail, which made it easy to enjoy without any worries. The horseback riding was all in English, but the staff were very kind, and riding while enjoying the stunning views was quite refreshing. I would definitely like to go again if I have the chance!
バスはホテルの近くから送迎があり、車内も快適でした。現地に着くと、日本人のスタッフが丁寧に説明してくれたので、不安もなく楽しむことができました。乗馬は全て英語でしたが、こちらもスタッフの方がとても優しく、絶景を見ながらの乗馬はかなりリフレッシュになりました。また機会があればぜひ行きたいです!
This time, I visited with my parents in their 60s, and everyone was extremely satisfied with the activity. We headed to the base camp by bus while feeling the magnificent nature of Kualoa Ranch, where we watched a Japanese instructional video and put on our harnesses. After that, we enjoyed the time on seven zip lines and two suspension bridges. Although there wasn't a Japanese guide, the three guides communicated with us throughout, and the atmosphere with the other group members was great, making the time fly by. The total duration was about 3 to 3.5 hours.
今回、60代の両親と共に訪れましたが全員大満足のアクティビティでした。
クアロアランチの壮大な自然を感じながらバスでベースキャンプまで向かい、そこで日本語のレクチャー動画を見てハーネスを装着。そこからは、7本のジップラインと2本の吊り橋を楽しむ時間でした。日本語のガイドはないけれど、3人のガイドさんが逐一コミュニケーションをとってくれるし、一緒のグループになった方々のノリもよくあっという間でした。
全体の所要時間は3時間〜3時間半でした。
This was my fifth time ziplining. The first line is thrilling, but the exhilaration and rush that you can't experience in daily life are the best. We were the only Japanese people there, but there were couples and families from various countries. It was fun to feel a sense of unity with simple English conversations. I'm definitely up for the challenge again!
5回目となるジップライン。1本目はドキドキですが日常生活では味わえないあのスリルと爽快感は最高です。日本人は私達2人だけでしたが、あとは色々な国から来たカップルや家族。簡単な英会話で一体感もあり楽しいですよ。また、チャレンジ決定です。
It was a lovely experience! Crew was amazing and entertainment was fun. Food was also very good. Only issue I had was I ordered 2 Mai tias. One alcoholic ,one non alcoholic and they charged me same price for each…$10 a piece. I do not think a drink that only contained fruit juice and no alcohol should have been the same price.
Other then that, it was a beautiful cruise
I learned a lot from actual episodes from World War II. I was particularly moved by the water burial of Japanese soldiers who died during the kamikaze missions by the United States Navy.
第二次世界大戦での実際にあったエピソードなど、勉強になりました。
特にアメリカ海軍による特攻で亡くなった日本兵の水葬などは感銘を受けました。
I felt secure participating in the tour thanks to the Japanese guides, Chieko and Dan. We were able to enter without waiting in line, which was stress-free thanks to their arrangements.
The snorkeling lasted about an hour in Hanauma Bay, where we could see many tropical fish, and they provided guidance on what to look for, making it efficient considering the physical exertion. We were lucky to see a Hawaiian monk seal napping on the beach. It would have been great to see a honu as well. Near the entrance to the bay, we also spotted a mongoose.
The swim suit is optional, but I was glad I rented one. The water was unexpectedly cold, and during snorkeling, I bumped my stomach against a rock; if I hadn't been wearing it, I might have gotten injured.
It's reassuring that even small children or those who may have concerns about their stamina can retire midway and return to shore.
日本語ガイドのチエコさんとダンさんで安心してツアーに参加できました。入場もお二人の枠のお陰で並ばずに入ることができてストレスがありません。
シュノーケリングは約1時間、ハナウマ湾内を回るのですが、沢山の熱帯魚が見られるし、これというものを教えてくれるので体力消耗を考えると効率が良いです。海岸ではハワイアンモンクシールもお昼寝してて運が良かったです。あとはホヌに会えれば良かったですね。湾への入り口近くではマングースも見ました。
スイムスーツはオプションですが借りて良かったです。水が思いの外冷たいのと、シュノーケリング中に一回、岩にお腹が当たったのですが、着用してなければもしかして怪我したかも知れません。
小さなお子さんや体力に不安のある方でも途中でリタイアして岸に上がれるので安心です。
I'm not good with roller coasters, so I was worried about the shaking, but there was no need to worry. The weather was nice, the scenery was beautiful, and I'm glad I participated!
ジェットコースター系が苦手なので、揺れたりしないか心配でしたが、心配無用でした。天気も良く、景色が綺麗で、参加してよかったです!
I thought two hours would be long, but it flew by and turned into an enjoyable time. The scenery was wonderful, and it became a great experience in a unique atmosphere.
2時間は長いと思ったのですが、あっという間に楽し時間になりました。景色が素晴らしく、非日常感の中でとても良い経験になりました。
You can only touch the dolphins a little and feed them from outside the pool. Also, I thought "observer" meant that the children could observe (watch) the dolphins, but that wasn't the case. We couldn't even enter the area where the attraction takes place. I wish they had used different wording.
プールの外からイルカに少し触ったりエサを上げる程度です。あと、observerというのは言葉の通り子供たちがイルカに触るのをオブザーブ(観察する)ことができるのかと思ったら違いました。アトラクション実施するエリアに入ることすらできませんでした。違う言葉を使ってほしかったです
The location is right next to Hilton Lagoon. We drove there with a rental car, but it's also within walking distance from Waikiki and Ala Moana. There were six of us participating, three men and three women, ranging from 19 to 80 years old. Once we gathered two more women from the mainland, we set sail with a total of eight people. I think the boat can hold about ten people comfortably. There was a captain and one assistant, who took photos throughout the trip. We didn't request it, but since my 80-year-old mother was with us, they let us fly together as a group of three instead of two. Even at the highest point, it wasn't too scary, and the view was amazing, so my mother enjoyed it without any worries. At one point, we splashed into the seawater, but perhaps out of consideration for the elderly, it was just our legs that got wet (laughs).
The photos taken on the boat were $40 for one SD card, but since everyone in the group was captured even when flying separately, I think it's a good deal. I believe it said that the tip was $20, but I wasn't sure, so we just gave the captain $20 as a group when we disembarked. I don't think the others tipped as they just got off the boat.
You will definitely get your lower half soaked, so I recommend wearing a swimsuit.
場所はヒルトンラグーンのすぐ隣です。私達はレンタカーで向かいましたがワイキキからもアラモアナからも歩いて行ける所です。上は80歳から下は19歳まで男性3名女性3名の計6名で参加しました。他本土からの女性2名を入れて計8名揃い次第出航です。多分10名くらいでいっぱいになる船かなと思います。キャプテンと補助の方1名で補助の方は終始写真を撮ってくれます。こちらからリクエストした訳ではないのですが80歳の母が居たため2名ではなく3名一緒に飛ばしてくれました。最大に上がっても意外と怖さはなく景色が最高なので母も余裕で楽しんでいました。途中海水にドボンもありましたが高齢者を気を遣ってくれたのか控えめに足だけで済みました(笑)
船上で撮った写真はSDカード1枚40ドルでしたが、別々に飛んでもグループ全員が写っているのでお得だと思います。
チップは20ドルって書いてあったみたいですがよく分からなかったので、一応下船時にキャプテンに私達1グループで20ドルだけ渡しました。他の方はそのまま下船したので渡していなかったと思います。
間違いなく下半身はガッツリ濡れるので水着がおすすめです。
It was a wonderful show where I could enjoy various genres of music and dance. The quality of the singing and dancing was also high.
いろいろなジャンルの音楽やダンスを楽しめて素晴らしいショーでした。歌やダンスのクオリティも高かったです。
Thank you very much for attending the Rockafella Rockin' Show. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the various genres of music, Hawaiian shows, and dances. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you back when you visit Hawaii again.
この度はロッカフラ ロッキンショーにご来場頂きまして、誠に有難うございます。いろいろなジャンルの音楽やハワイアンショー & ダンスを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 had a great experience snorkeling at Hanauma Bay during my single days, so I wanted my children to share the same excitement, which is why I signed up for this family trip with five of us.
About 25 years ago, I remember there were many yellow fish in shallow waters up to my knees, but now it seems that due to environmental protection and restrictions from the COVID-19 pandemic, things have become stricter, and it was different from my memories of Hanauma Bay.
However, because it is well-managed, the clarity of the water is exceptional. Following the guidance of the instructor, we snorkeled and encountered fish swimming in their natural habitat. Finally, we went to a turtle spot a little deeper and were able to meet a honu (sea turtle).
The instructor was very knowledgeable about Hanauma Bay, and my 6-year-old daughter also enjoyed snorkeling, so I’m glad we participated.
独身時代に行ったハナウマ湾シュノーケリングがよかったため、子どもたちにも同じ感動を味わわせたいと思い今回家族5人で申し込みました。
以前(25年くらい前?)は膝の深さくらいの浅瀬に黄色い魚がたくさんいて餌付けした記憶がありましたが、今は環境保護やコロナ禍を経て入場制限など色々厳しくなったようで昔の記憶にあるハナウマとは違っていました。
しかし管理されているため海の綺麗さは格別で、インストラクターの方の案内に従ってシュノーケリングして自然を泳ぐ魚に遭遇し、最後少し奥の海ガメスポットに行きホヌに出逢うことができました。
ハナウマ湾を知り尽くしたインストラクターさんで6歳の娘もシュノーケリングを楽しめたので参加してよかったです。
Hanauma Bay requires a reservation, which can be difficult to secure, so I booked a tour. I was extremely satisfied with the result. The tour guide was very knowledgeable about Hanauma Bay, making the experience very smooth from entry to activities. It seems that the clarity of the water and the activity of the marine life change depending on the conditions at Hanauma Bay, so I would like to come back again. This time, we couldn't see any sea turtles due to the low tide, but the water clarity was very high, and I was able to see many marine creatures, so I was very satisfied!
ハナウマ湾は予約必須で予約困難ということで、ツアーを予約しました。結果大満足です。
ツアーガイドの方はハナウマ湾を知り尽くしていらっしゃるので、入場からアクティビティまで非常にスムーズに体験することができました。
ハナウマ湾の状況によって、海の透明度、生き物達の活性が変わるみたいなので、また来たいと思います。
今回は引き潮でウミガメは見られませんでしたが、透明度は非常に高く、沢山の海の生き物が見られたので大満足でした!
We really enjoyed this tour.Shawn was amazing.Friendly,courteous and very knowledgeable.Would definitly do it again.
It was our first experience, and we decided to try it in Hawaii. I thought 10 minutes might be too short, but we enjoyed it enough. If you get seasick, please take some medication. Both my wife and I ended up feeling seasick.
初めての体験、どうせならハワイでと妻と体験しました。
10分は短いかなぁ〜と思ってましたが、十分に楽しめました。
船酔いする方は薬を飲んで下さい。
夫婦で船酔いしてしまいました。
Liked being first to beach, life vest was missing straps that go between legs front to back, this caused jacket to float up around neck, the overall experience is good and I recommend, but life vests need addressed
My 7-year-old son got hooked on the Tornado and went down six times with breaks in between! Climbing back up after each slide wore us parents out, but we had so much fun since we didn't have to wait long.
My 10-year-old daughter mostly enjoyed the wave pool, and there were attractions for everyone to enjoy, which was great. I wasn't sure how crowded it would be, but we only had a day pass, and the food court wasn't crowded at all, so we didn't have any issues. The guide helped us with how to use the locker machines and pointed out the hidden free chair spots, which was really helpful. I thought we might run out of time, but I think the duration was just right for our energy levels.
The kids said they want to come back when we visit Hawaii again, so I definitely want to return!
7才の男の子はトルネードにはまり休憩はさんで6回も滑りました!滑っては登りを繰り返して親はへとへとになりましたが…あまり待たずにいけたので、親子共々とっても楽しかったです!
10才の女の子はほとんど波のプール、それぞれ楽しめるアトラクションがあり助かりました。
混み具合がわからなかったけど、私達は1日券のみでしたがフードコートも混んでなく特に困りませんでした。ガイドさんがロッカーの機械の使い方や穴場の無料チェアーの場所など教えてくれて助かりました。時間も足りないかな?と思ったけど、体力的にはちょうどいい時間だったと思います。
またハワイに来た時に子供達が行きたいと言ってるので来たいと思います!
I wanted to do something that I wouldn't normally do in Japan during my long-awaited trip to Hawaii, so I made a reservation. With not many activities available that parents can enjoy while having kids, I chose this one because it allows participation from age five.
The local staff were friendly, and the hour flew by in no time. The moment I actually took off was scary, but I was able to enjoy the amazing views of Oahu that can only be seen from the sky. I bought a waterproof phone case to take pictures, but I didn't have the luxury of doing that (laughs), so I used the photo service to get pictures of the three of us.
I also got to see other participants flying, which added to the attraction experience. My five-year-old son was called "Big Boy" by the staff, and it was a moment where he felt recognized, which I think contributed to his growth both physically and mentally.
I highly recommend it!
久しぶりのハワイで何か普段日本ではやらないようなことをやりたいと予約してみました。子供がいながら親も楽しめるアクティビティはあまりない中で5歳から参加できるということでこちらを選びました。
現地のスタッフさんも気さくであっという間の1時間でした。
実際飛んだ瞬間は怖かったけど、空からしか見られない素晴らしいオワフ島の景色を楽しむことができました。
防水のスマホケースを買って写真を撮ろうとしましたが、そんな余裕は持てず(笑)、写真撮影のサービスを利用して三人の写真を撮ってもらいました。
他の参加者の飛んでる姿も見られて、それもまたアトラクション的なものでした。
5歳の息子もスタッフさんに「Big Boy」と言われ、認められたという体験をし、心身共に成長したなと思います。
オススメです。
Our guide Kinoa was fantastic, chatting all day but not obtrusive or overbearing. We saw some beautiful scenery, had a delicious lunch and learnt so much about being an Hawaiian and real living in Hawaii, not the tourist hype of Waikiki.
An experience you can't have in Japan!
It was more thrilling than I expected.
I can't speak English at all, but I was taught in a way that was easy to understand, so I had no problems.
However, it does get quite dirty...
I recommend participating in clothes that you can change into or that you don't mind getting dirty!
You can also enjoy stunning views, so I want to join a different activity next time!
日本ではできない体験!
思ってた以上に迫力満点でした。
英語は全くできませんが、わかりやすく教えてもらえた困ることはありませんでした。
ただ、かなり汚れます…
着替え、もしくは汚れても良い服での参加をおすすめします!
絶景も楽しめるので、次回は違うアクティビティで参加したいと思っています!
I have a fear of heights, but my husband loves high places and speed. I wanted to see the happy face of my husband, so I decided to take the plunge and signed up for the 150m experience. The result was so much fun that I didn't want to come down from the sky. I was able to chat a bit with the other people on the boat (who happened to all be Japanese) and we became friends. The staff took photos for us (you can choose whether or not to take photos before flying) for $40, including the data. Since it's an angle you can't capture yourself, I recommend purchasing them.
私は高所恐怖症ですが夫は高い、速いが大好き。
夫の喜ぶ顔が見たくて思い切って150mを申し込んでみました。結果はとても楽しく上空から降りたくなかったほど。一緒に船に同乗した方々(たまたま日本人ばかりでした)とも少しお話ができて仲良くなれました。スタッフさんが撮ってくださった写真(飛ぶ前に写真を撮る撮らないは選択可能)はデータ込みで$40 、自分では撮れないアングルなので購入をお勧めします。
I have loved magic since I was young, and among all magicians, I particularly adored Atsuto Ogawa's performances. So when I found out I could see his magic during my trip to Hawaii, I made a reservation immediately. Before the show, Mr. Ogawa spotted us and came over to chat! During the performance, he mixed in some Japanese, and we had a really enjoyable time. I was truly moved to see Atsuto Ogawa's magic live, something I had admired for so long!
昔からマジック好きな自分は、中でも緒川集人さんのマジックが大好きだったため、ハワイ旅行にあたって緒川さんのマジックが見れるということで即予約。
開場前に緒川さんが自分たちを見つけて、話しかけてくれました!
公演中も日本語を交えながらやってくださり、とても楽しい時間を過ごせました。
とにかく昔から見ていた緒川集人のマジックを生で見れたことに感動でした!
Definitely recommend this activity!
I went with my mom, she does not know how to swim or is comfortable with the ocean, but somehow she managed to experience the sandbar and actually got in the water. This was a huge deal for her and it helped tide was low so she felt more comfortable.
Crew was amazing and engaged with all of us on tour! They helped those in need and made us all feel welcomed.
We would definitely book this tour again and bring our family with us next time!
Thank you guys! My mom wouldn’t stop talking about how much fun she had and how you guys made her feel safe despite her fear of water.
It was my first buggy tour, and I had a great time. I felt reassured by the fact that there was a place to switch drivers and that there was an explanation video in Japanese. I prepared long pants and closed-toe shoes as they were required, but there were many people wearing sandals and shorts, and it seemed like no particular attention was paid to that.
初めてのバギーツアーでしたが楽しかったです.
途中で運転手が交代できるところや日本語での説明ビデオがあったことなどが安心できました.
長ズボンとつま先の覆われた靴が必須とのことで,このために準備して行きましたがサンダルに短いズボンという方もたくさんいらっしゃり,特に注意もされていなかったようでした.
During the scheduled experience, I was worried about the approaching hurricane, but I was able to participate safely. The wind was a bit strong, which added to the thrill, and the crew members were very enthusiastic and made the experience a lot of fun. I had to change the date a few times due to changes in my travel plans, but it was smooth, and there were no additional fees, which I thought was very reasonable.
体験予定時,ハリケーン接近中で開催を心配しましたが無事に体験できました.やや風が強くスリル満点でしたが,乗船員の方もテンション高めに盛り上げてくださりとても楽しい体験ができました.
旅行中のプラン変更のため何度か日時変更させていただきましたがスムーズで変更料等もかからず良心的だと思いました.
The crew members were very cheerful and wonderful, and I felt really energized from the morning! They communicated a little in Japanese and provided light explanations, so it was fine even if I didn't understand much English!
On the day I went, there were only two groups including us, so it wasn't a long boat ride, and the sea was calm, so I didn't need motion sickness medication. However, I think it's better to take it on days when the sea is rough!
The hook attached to the harness is connected to the parachute, and the parasailing started quite quickly, so I recommend adjusting your position properly before starting! My arms felt quite tight while holding onto the harness...
Tipping was not mandatory! However, the crew made jokes and entertained us, so I felt it was worth tipping for the parasailing experience! ☺️
I hope this helps!
クルーの人がすごく明るくて
素敵な方で朝から行ったのですが
すごく元気が出ました!!
日本語で少しコミュニケーションや
軽く説明をしてくれるため
英語があまり分からなくても
大丈夫でした!
私が乗った日は私達含め2組だったため
長時間の船の乗船ではなく
海も穏やかだったため
酔い止めは無くても大丈夫でしたが
海が荒れてる日などは
服用した方がいいと思います!!
ハーネスに付いてるフックが
パラシュートに繋がれて
結構早めにパラセーリングが
スタートしたので
スタートする前にちゃんと位置を
整えることがおすすめです!
ハーネスに掴んでる時に
腕が結構キツくなりました…
チップは強制では無かったです!
ですがクルーの人がジョークも交えて
楽しませてくれたので
チップを払ってもいいなと思えた
パラセーリングでした!!☺️
ご参考になれば幸いです!!
Even though it was sunny in Waikiki, as we made our way to the sandbar, the clouds started to gather and it rained lightly at the end. However, we were able to encounter sea turtles, and the snorkeling allowed us to see the fish beautifully, so I was satisfied. It was also fun to be surrounded by movie filming locations, and the explanations were well done.
ワイキキの方は晴れていてもいざサンドバーの方まで行くとだんだん雲行きが怪しくなって雨は最後にぱらつく程度降りましたがウミガメも遭遇できましたし、シュノーケルでは魚が綺麗に見えたので満足です。周りが映画のロケ地で説明も上手で楽しかったです。
