We had a great driver. He was very pleasant and informative. We learned a lot. We particularly enjoyed the Bowfin submarine. We had kids ages 8 and 10. It was very interesting. The movie about the history of Pearl Harbor very moving. The USS Mossouri was interesting but made tour a bit long for the kids. I would recommend the shorter tour of heading home after the Arizona Memorial if you have young kids. Submarine was highlight for us for the day.

We had a great time out with a fabulous, fun and friendly crew. We loved being on this particular boat. You can stand really close to the edge or laze out in the middle over the netting. Oh and the whales were entertaining too. We even saw one breech! Will definitely do this again.

The sandbar looked beautiful. I also went snorkeling, but it felt crowded and murky, like swimming with a group of people, so I couldn't see anything. If you're going to snorkel, I feel like another plan might be better. Overall, I enjoyed the sandbar, and the tour guide was very entertaining, making it a fun tour.
サンドバーは綺麗に見えました。
シュノーケリングもしたのですが、シュノーケリング部隊といったスイミーみたいな感じで泳ぐ感じなので、混雑しており水も濁り何も見えませんでした。
シュノーケリングをするなら、別のプランのほうがいいように感じました。
総合的には、サンドバーは満喫できたことと、ツアーのお姉さんがとても面白かったので楽しいツアーでした。

I am sure I have done this, but will do it again"our visit to Pearl Harbor, was thought provoking,informative, sad, educational and enlightening. The story of Pearl Harbor is a tragic era in our modern history. As an Australian, I empathise with the Americans for the way their service people and civilians were attacked, violated and killed at that time in history. The war in the Pacific involved a list of countries. My place of work, is named after a Hospital Ship "Centaur "..this boat belonged to the Australian fleet. It was bombed off the coast of Queensland, north of Brisbane.....it had the flag stipulating its identity as a Hospital Ship, but was still attacked by a Japanese submarine. Many innocent people lost their lives on that day also, same as in Pearl Harbor. Our freer was sensational, his knowledge and wit were unbelievable..

It was my first time parasailing.
Upon arrival, I was asked to read a contract in Japanese in the car, and after reading it, I signed it.
The contract contained content that would evoke a sense of fear, which you wouldn't typically see in Japan. (laughs)
After checking in, I waited, but even after the scheduled time, I wasn't called.
I was informed that they were doing maintenance because something was caught on the boat.
Since it was my first time, my sense of fear increased even more...
That said, I had a good impression that they were properly ensuring safety.
After about a 30-minute delay, we finally got ready to set sail!
There were two Japanese couples, including myself, and the rest were international guests.
There were no Japanese staff, but one person spoke a little Japanese, and the other staff members explained things clearly with gestures.
The staff did a great job of creating a lively atmosphere, so when I actually took off, my initial fear completely disappeared.
In the air, it was stable without much shaking, and I could see Diamond Head, the vast ocean, and the cityscape all at once.
I put my phone in a waterproof bag and was able to take many photos from above.
There is also a service where the staff will take photos for $30, which included videos and made for a great keepsake.
Perhaps because I chose the highest course at 150 meters, I experienced the "sea splash" twice, as mentioned in others' experiences, and it felt like they extended the flight time a bit longer, so choosing 150 meters was definitely the right choice.
Even though it was high, it wasn't scary at all; I felt like I could have gone even higher, so I highly recommend the 150 meters.
初めてのパラセイルでした。
迎えの際の車内で日本語の契約書を読むように言われ、読んだら署名をします。
契約書は、日本ではまず見ないであろう恐怖感を煽る内容です。(笑)
受付後、待機していたが予定時刻を過ぎても呼ばれず。
船の紐か何かがひっかっかているので整備中とのこと。
初めてということもあり、さらに恐怖感が増す…。
とはいえ、きちんと安全を整えてくれているという面で好印象。
30分程の遅れでやっと準備が整い、いざ出港!
自分を含め日本人カップル2組とあとは海外の方でした。
スタッフに日本人はいませんが、片言の日本語を話せる方が一人いて、
ほかのスタッフさんもわかりやすくジェスチャーしながら説明してくれます。
スタッフさんが上手く場を盛り上げてくださるので、実際に飛んでみると最初の恐怖感は全くなくなっていました。
上空で大きく揺れることなく安定しており、ダイヤモンドヘッドや一面の海、街の景色が一望できます。
携帯を防水袋に入れ、上空からたくさんの写真を撮ることができました。
30ドルでスタッフさんが写真を撮影してくれるサービスもあります。動画も入っていていい記念になりました。
150メートルの一番高いコースを選んでいたからか、皆さんの体験談にもある海ポチャも2回してくださり、飛行時間も長めに取ってくださっていたように感じ、150メートルにして正解でした。
高いからといって怖いこともなく、もっと高くてもいいと感じるくらいだったので150メートルおすすめです。

The staff were all kind and welcomed us with smiles. The initial flash show and fire show had high-level dancers and were very good. They came down from the stage, sang, and showered guests with flowers and shook hands, providing great service. I spoke with a Michael look-alike during the final photo session, and he was a modest person with a personality similar to Michael's!? I had a one-year-old with me, but thanks to the child sleeping through the show, I was able to concentrate on the performance. I'm also happy that we could take photos at the end! There were many Michael fans and honeymooners. It was so much fun!!

It was my first time paragliding, and I had so much fun that I wished I could have flown longer.
First of all, we only understood English at a middle school level and could hardly speak it. Everyone else in the group was American, but they were all nice people, which made it easy for us to complete the activity without any anxiety.
We gathered at the designated spot, got into a dark blue Mercedes van, and headed to the port. After checking in, we boarded the boat, received explanations in English, and were given a Japanese instruction manual to read. The crew was cheerful, and they offered a DVD with photos for $30.
Finally, the paragliding began. As we took off from the deck, we soared higher and higher, and the boat looked like a grain of rice. We had a panoramic view that included Diamond Head, the streets of Waikiki, and the beach. It was over in a flash, but I felt that doing it in Waikiki had a significant meaning.
On the way back, we tipped the crew, and the driver took us back to the hotel.
I'm really glad I did it. It seems there are many other activities available, so I’m feeling interested in trying more.
パラセイリング自体初めてだったのですが、もっと長い間飛んでいたいと思ったぐらい楽しかったです。
まず私達は中学生レベルの英語しかわからない上、喋ることはほとんどできません。笑
集合から解散まで私達以外、全員アメリカ人だったのですがみんないい人達で不安なくアクティビティを終えることができました。
まず、指定の場所で集合し紺色のメルセデスのバンに乗り、港まで行きました。受付を済ませ、船に乗り、英語で説明を受け、日本語の説明書を読まされました。乗組員も陽気な方で30ドルで写真を焼いたDVDもつけてくれるとの事です。
いよいよ、パラセイリング開始、デッキから飛び立つと、どんどん高い所まで行き船も米粒程に見え、ダイヤモンドヘッドからワイキキの街並みやビーチを含め、大パノラマで一望することができました。
あっと言う間でしたが、ワイキキでやる事に大きな意味があったように感じます。
帰りは乗組員にチップを渡し、ドライバーはホテルまで送迎してくれました。
本当にやってよかったです。
ほかにもたくさんアクティビティがあるみたいですので、興味も出てきました。

On the day of the tour, it was cold on the boat, possibly due to the rain and wind. It was advertised as a BBQ, but in reality, it was grilled hamburgers. I wish they had just called it hamburgers; I thought we would be grilling the meat ourselves. The snorkeling was also cold, and everyone was shivering. At times like this, it would be nice if they provided wetsuits. I no longer want to participate in this tour.

It was rainy with occasional clouds and strong winds, making it quite gloomy. I thought it would be amazing if it were sunny, but unfortunately, I could only see the sea turtles from a distance. The water level at the sandbar was low, just below my knees, so that was a good thing. The snorkeling was disappointing as well, possibly due to the rain and wind; there were hardly any fish, and the sea was dark. They ask you to pair up for snorkeling! I participated alone, but since the husband of a couple who joined was observing, I teamed up with his wife, which made it easy for me to join the snorkeling even as a solo participant, so that was nice. All in all, the disappointing part was the weather. I couldn't enjoy the scenery. If you participate in rainy weather, it might be better not to have overly high expectations. I would like to go again when it's sunny next time.
雨時々曇りで風も強風でドンヨリしてました。晴れたら最高ったとは思いますが残念ながら海亀も遠くから少し見るだけでした。サンドバーの水位は低く膝下だったので~それだけは良かったです。シュノーケリングも雨と風のせいか?魚がほとんどおらず海も暗く残念でした。シュノーケリングではバディを組んで下さい!と言われます。1人で参加してましたがカップルで参加してみえた奥様の旦那様が見学されるという事で奥様とバディを組み1人参加でも難なくシュノーケリングに参加出来ましたので~それも良かったです。とにもかくにも残念なのは天気です。景色を楽しむ事は出来ませんでした。雨降りに参加される場合は過度な期待はしない方が良いかも?今度は晴れた時に又行ってみたいです。

The waves were small, but I was able to ride them and it was fun! I think I'm going to get hooked on surfing!

This time, I went for the first time with my daughter. Unfortunately, the weather was quite chilly in the morning, but it warmed up in the afternoon, and we were able to fully enjoy the water park! Looking at the map, it seemed very large, and I thought we definitely wouldn't be able to cover it all in the time we had, but in reality, it was just the right size, and we managed to experience almost all the slides. I think it was also because it was a weekday.
There are many slides for two or more people, so the whole family can enjoy it! However, since one staff member manages several slides, they pause and start every 30 minutes. I found this system a bit inconvenient. Because people tend to concentrate on the open slides, I think it can get quite crowded during peak times. I recommend going on a weekday. However, it's much less crowded compared to Japan, so if you have time to spare, it's worth going!
We had about four hours of actual playtime, and we were able to enjoy it to the fullest! I think I'll try to go again if I have the chance.
今回は娘と2人で初めて行ってみました。
あいにくのお天気で午前中はかなり肌寒かったですが午後には暖かくなり、ウォーターパークを満喫することが出来ました!
地図を見るとかなり広〜く見え、絶対に時間内では回りきれないなぁと思っていましたが、実際はちょうど良い位の広さでほぼスライダーなどは制覇出来ました。平日だったからということもあるかと思いま
す。
2人乗り以上のスライダーが多いので家族全員で楽しめるかと...!ただ、幾つかのスライダーを係員1人で掛け持ちしているため、30分ごとにスライダーが休止になったり始まったりします。このシステムは少し面倒だなぁと感じました。開いているスライダーに人が集中するため、混んでいる時期はかなり並ぶかと思います。行くなら平日がオススメです。ただ日本とは比べ物にならない位空いているので、時間に余裕のある方は行く価値あります!
実際に遊べる時間は4時間位でしたが、存分に楽しむことが出来ました!また機会があったら行ってみようと思います。

We arrived in about an hour by bus from the Hyatt Regency Hotel! It can get cold on the bus, so having a light jacket would be a good idea. We were fast asleep, so we arrived in no time. Since we got there right when it opened, it was quite empty, and we were able to experience all the attractions without waiting in line at all. I've heard that going on a weekday is less crowded.
The attractions open every 30 minutes in rotation, so it’s a good idea to check when the ones you want to ride will be operating. Meals like hamburgers and yakisoba are sold for about $11, and the taste was average. Drinks are expensive, so it's better to bring your own, but be careful as you can only bring one unopened bottle of water per person.
Lockers are a bit pricey at $13, so I just carried my valuables and left them on the free beach beds without any issues. Unlike pools in Japan, the slides were the main attraction, and the thrill was completely different! Some of them were even similar to roller coasters! It's an experience you can only have overseas, so I think it's definitely worth going!

食事はハンバーガー、焼きそばなどが約11ドルくらいで販売しており味は普通でした。
飲み物が高いですが持っていった方がいいですが、未開封の水を1人1本までしか持ち込めないのでお気をつけください。
ロッカーが13ドルと少し高いので貴重品だけ身につけて、無料のビーチベッドに置いておきましたが問題ありませんでした。

I went on April 4, 2016! It was very convenient with pickup from the hotel in Waikiki and the harbor! Both the microbus and the boat only spoke English, so those who are not good at English might struggle a bit to understand. It takes about 50 minutes by car from Waikiki to the North Shore. The boat ride to the shark spot takes about 20 minutes. It shakes quite a bit! If you get seasick, be careful! It might be good to bring water and gum, in addition to seasickness medication. Once on the boat, after the captain explains the precautions, we split into two teams and put on the provided snorkels to enter the cage in the ocean. There were about 20 carnivorous sharks swimming around, around 2-3 meters long. They swim close to the cage, but they are calm (maybe they are used to humans?), so it's not very scary! We enjoyed snorkeling in the water for about 15 minutes before switching teams. Tips can be placed in the tip box on the boat. It's optional. They also offer a video for an additional $70, filmed with a GoPro. Original T-shirts were also on sale.
2016年4月4日に行きました!ワイキキのホテルと船着場までの送迎付きで、とっても楽でした!マイクロバスも船も英語のみなので、英語が得意じゃない方はちょっと理解するのに苦労するかも。ワイキキからノースショアまで車で約50分。船に乗ってサメスポットまで約20分。かなり揺れます!船酔いする方は要注意!水とガムなど、酔い止め以外にも持参した方が良いかも。船に乗り込んだら、船長さんから、注意事項を説明いただいた後に、2チームに分かれて、支給されるシュノーケルを装着して沖にある檻に入ります。2〜3mほどの肉食のサメが20匹ほど泳いでいました。檻の近くまで泳いできますが、おとなしい(人間に慣れているのかな?)あまり怖くありません!15分ほど海の中でゆらゆらとシュノーケリングを楽しんで、チーム交代。チップは船の中にあるチップ入れへ入れます。任意です。ビデオは別途70でGoProで撮ってくれます。オリジナルTシャツも販売されていました。

The canter in the grasslands of Kohala was the best.

I was worried that I wouldn't encounter any whales today, but then there was an announcement saying that a whale was spotted in the distance! I hurried to the area, but I couldn't see it with my naked eye. After this happened twice, I finally managed to see a whale clearly. After that, I was able to see whales spouting water and even jumping multiple times, making for a very satisfying whale watching experience! I also encountered a mother and calf whale. After the whale expert's explanation in English, there was also a Japanese explanation, which was very clear and helpful.
The ocean was quite windy and chilly, so I think it would be good to have an extra layer of clothing. The view of Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head from the sea was exceptional. I found myself thinking that I would love to come back again while enjoying the view.
なかなかクジラに遭遇できず、今日はダメかなあと思っていたら、遠くにクジラが見えますとアナウンスが!!あわてて見えた方に移動するも肉眼では確認できず。このようなことが2回あったあと、ようやく肉眼でクジラを見ることができました。その後は何度も何度も潮を吹くクジラやジャンプ?するクジラを見ることができて大満足のホエールウォッチングでした!!親子クジラにも遭遇しました。クジラ博士の英語の説明のあと日本語の説明もあり、とてもわかりやすくてよかったです。
外海はとても風が強くて肌寒かったので、一枚羽織るものがあると良いと思います。
海から見るワイキキビーチやダイヤモンドヘッドは格別でした。
また、来たいなーと思いながら眺めていました。

It felt amazing to be flying in the sky; it was the best. When I go to Hawaii, there are often a lot of Japanese people around, but on this tour, there were none at all, which really made me feel like I was abroad (laughs). The traditional splash in the sea when we landed was also a lot of fun!
空を飛んでる時はとても気持ちよく、最高でした。
ハワイに行くと、まわりが日本人でいっぱいだったりしますが、今回のツアーは周りに日本人が全くいなく、海外に来てるなぁーって思える感じでした(笑)
降ろされる時恒例の海ぽちゃもすごく楽しかったです!

The activities, dancing, and MC were very good. The food, however was just average. I have been to several luau before all of which had a better food selection.

After seeing everyone's reviews, I wondered if it would be a bother for me, a beginner who has only completed about 40 lessons, to join. However, I couldn't resist the temptation to ride a horse across the plains of Hawaii, so I nervously signed up. The result was a correct decision to challenge myself; I had a very enjoyable time. Since I usually only trot in the ring, this was my first time trotting on a trail, and it was also my first experience with a Western saddle and operating the reins with one hand. However, our guide Emily kindly taught me, and after learning the tip to loosen the reins compared to English riding, my horse Libby started to run smoothly. We trotted and cantered up the hills, and at the top, there was a wonderful view of the sea, sky, and the land of Oahu. Even if you're not an advanced rider, once you can trot, I highly recommend giving it a try. You'll surely discover even more charm in horseback riding.
The advanced tour is limited to four people per session.
By the way, the ranch is located in Laie, which is on the North Shore, about an hour's drive from Waikiki, just past the Polynesian Cultural Center. The weather there can differ from that in Waikiki. On the day I initially booked, it was sunny in Waikiki, but it was raining on and off at the location, making the trail muddy and dangerous for riding, so the tour was canceled at the last minute, and I had to turn back. Fortunately, I was able to rebook for the next day when there was availability. Both VELTRA and the local tour company, as well as the ranch, were very kind in their responses. However, I recommend that participants in the advanced course check the local weather by calling the ranch directly before departing from Waikiki to confirm if the tour is still on. The beginner walking-only course can still operate with some rain.
皆さんの評価を見て、まだ初心者で40鞍ほどレッスンを終えたばかりの私が参加しても迷惑かなあ、と思いつつ、しかしハワイの平原を馬で駆けてみたい誘惑に勝てず、恐る恐る申し込みました。結果はチャレンジして正解、とても楽しい時間を過ごすことが出来ました。普段はリング内でしか駆け足しないので、トレイルでの駆け足は初めてだし、ウェスタンの鞍や、片手で手綱を操作する方式も初めてでしたが、ガイドのエミリーさんが親切に教えてくれ、イングリッシュ乗馬よりも手綱を緩めるというコツを教わってからは、馬のLibbyちゃんが調子良く走り始めて、軽快なトロットやカンターで丘を駆け上がり、頂上では海と空とオアフの大地が見渡せる素敵な景色が。上級者でなくても、駆け足が出来るようになったら、ぜひ挑戦してみて欲しいです。きっと更に乗馬の魅力が発見出来ますよ。
上級者ツアーは一回につき4人限定だそうです。
尚、牧場があるLaieは、ワイキキからレンタカーで1時間強かかるノースショアにあり、ポリネシアンカルチャーセンターの少し先。ワイキキの天気とは異なる場合があり、当初私が予約した日は、ワイキキは晴天だったが、現地は雨が降ったり止んだりで、トレイルがぬかるんで馬を走らせるのが危険とのことで直前に中止になり、途中で引き返すハメに遭い、たまたま空いてた翌日に予約し直して参加出来ました。ベルトラも現地催行会社も牧場も、とても親切な対応して頂いたので良かったですが、上級コース参加者はワイキキを出発する前に、牧場に直接電話して現地の天候をチェックし、ツアー催行の確認をお勧めします。初心者向けの歩きだけのコースは、多少の雨でも催行出来るそうです。

It was not crowded since it was a weekday. The food stalls and slides had only a short line, so we were able to enjoy a lot within the time we had! The smoking area was conveniently located and easy to find, which was appreciated by smokers. The lifeguards were attentive, blowing whistles to warn running children and monitoring the lines for the slides. I felt it was stricter in that regard compared to pools in Japan, which made me feel safer.
平日なので空いていました。
食べ物の売店もスライダーもわずかな列でしたので時間内たくさん楽しめました!
喫煙者にもありがたい、わかりやすく近い喫煙所でした。
ライフガードの方々が笛を鳴らして走る子供達を注意したり、スライダーの整列を見張っていらっしゃって、日本のプールよりもその点厳しく、安心だと思いました。
Aloha! Thank you very much for your valuable feedback. We look forward to your next visit.
アロハ!、
大切なご意見ありがとうございました。どうぞ又のお越しをお待ち申し上げます。

We went to Hawaii as a family.
I've been to Hawaii several times, but it was my first time on a submarine. I imagined I would see beautiful coral reefs and colorful fish, and I thought I would see sea turtles as well, but in reality, there were mostly monochrome views. We did see a sea turtle, but only for a short time. I believe the natural world changes from day to day. However, the scenery from the boat and submarine was incredibly beautiful, and we were able to take great photos, which made the kids very happy.
家族でハワイに行きました。
ハワイは何度か行きましたが潜水艦は初めてで、想像していた綺麗な珊瑚礁や色とりどりの
魚が見れたり、ウミガメが見れるものだと思ってましたが、実際はモノクロが多かった。
ウミガメも見れましたが、少しの時間だけでした。
自然の世界だから日によって変わるとは思います。
ただ、船や潜水艦の上から見る景色は大変に綺麗で良い写真が撮れ、子供も喜んでました。
