I might have misunderstood ^^; I thought it was horseback riding and a car, but it was only horseback riding for two hours. Moreover, I assumed there would be something like a hamburger included, but there was no meal provided, which was a bit disappointing.
When I showed the voucher at the counter, they told me to drop off my belongings in a locker and come to the horse registration by a certain time. With less than half an hour until that time, there was only one small café-like place to eat, so I ended up riding on an empty stomach. You can leave your hat at the horse registration desk.
At the horse registration, I was shown a video explanation in Japanese, put on a helmet, climbed onto a platform, and started horseback riding. The horse was smart, so even though I had almost no experience riding, I had no problems at all. The staff leading us definitely communicated well, using whistles and such.
However, two hours is long!! My rear started to hurt a bit towards the end... I wonder if choosing an early morning course would have avoided the two-hour horseback riding only option?
We gathered in front of the Ilikai Hotel around 10 AM, so by the time we arrived, it was almost lunchtime. When we got on the bus, there were many other guests already on board, and my family ended up sitting separately, so we didn't have much to talk about and naturally fell asleep until we reached the ranch. After the horseback riding, there was no time left, and we just headed back.
What saved the experience was that riding the horse through the scenery, including filming locations from movies, turned out to be quite an interesting experience. I wanted to explore by car for the second hour, but while riding, I could see the ocean, which was nice. However, due to the season, it rained a little, and it was quite cold because of the low temperatures, so I thought I would shiver unless I wore a T-shirt or long-sleeve shirt with a jacket, long pants, socks, and shoes.
There were three of us in my family, along with one woman who joined us, and we rode with the staff leading the horses. For our belongings, we had to keep our phones in a place where they wouldn't fall out and were easy to access. We could either have the staff take pictures while leading the horses or take our own. The staff did take some photos at the beginning, which they sell later.
私が勘違いしていたのか^^; 乗馬と車だと思ってたら 乗馬のみ2時間でした。
しかも、ハンバーガーくらい付いてるのかと思い込んでて、何にも食事は付いてませんでしたので、少しがっかりしました。
バウチャーを カウンターで見せたら、
○時に 馬の受付に 持ち物をロッカーに預けてからきてねと 言うことで、その時間までに半時間もないし、食べるところなんて 一ヶ所カフェみたいな小さいところがあるだけで、ほぼないようなところなので、お昼抜きで 乗る羽目になりました。 帽子はお馬さんの受付で棚に預かってもらえます。
そして、そのお馬さんの受付で
日本語のビデオの説明を見せられて、ヘルメットをかぶり、 台の上に上がり 乗馬になりました。賢い馬なので、今までほぼ全く乗ったことがない位の 私でも 全く問題なく乗れました。先導するスタッフの言うことは 間違いなく聞きました。口笛とかで、です。
ただ、2時間は長い!!お尻が少しですが最後の方には痛くなってきました、、、
朝早くのコースにしたら、2時間乗馬のみ、のコースにならなかったのかなあ??
10時台のイリカイホテルの前での集合で 行くコースだったので、着いたらほぼお昼だし、バスは乗るときには 前に
沢山の先客が乗ってきていて、家族がバラバラになって座って乗ったので、話すこともなく、自然に牧場に着くまで 寝てました。 そして、お馬さんが終われば、時間もなく、帰るだけ、でした。
救われたのは、映画の撮影地を含む、景色の中 お馬さんに乗ってたことが、なかなか面白い経験になったことです。
1時間乗ったら 後の1時間、車で回りたかったけど、、(・・;) 乗馬しながら 海が見えたり、はして 良かったけど、
天候が季節的に 雨が多いので、雨にも少しだけ降られました。 また、季節的にも、近年にはなくも、気温が 低いために 結構寒いので、Tシャツか長袖シャツに上着、長ズボン、靴下に靴、でないと 震えると思いました。
私達家族三人と あと一人で参加した女性に、お馬さんを先導するスタッフの人で回りました。
荷物は、携帯だけは 落とさないところで、出しやすいところに入れて持っておかないと 映像は途中お馬さんを先導するスタッフの人に撮ってもらうか、自分で映します。一応 乗り始めのあたりで
スタッフの方が写真は撮り、後で売ってますが。

We boarded the boat as a family of four with our 2-year-old and 11-month-old baby! We were excited and a bit nervous wondering if we would see whales, but we enjoyed exploring the boat and taking in the scenery without getting bored. Since it was the rainy season in February, it was a bit chilly, so warm clothing was necessary.
The staff were wonderful; they played with the kids and smiled at them, gave us paper caps as gifts, and showed us videos and photos of whales and dolphins they had filmed in the past. They were very kind to the children.
As for the whales, we were able to see the spouting whales, their backs, and tails! When we saw them, everyone cheered, and it was more moving than we expected! I want to go again when the kids are older.
2歳児と11ヶ月の赤ちゃんをつれて家族4人で乗船しました!
クジラ、見れるかな〜〜とドキドキワクワクしながらも、船の中を散策したり、景色を楽しんだり、飽きることなく楽しめました。
2月の雨季の時期だったので肌寒かったので防寒具は必要でした。
スタッフのかたも子供たちをみるとみんな笑顔で遊んでくれたり、紙製のキャップをプレゼントしてくれたり、過去に自分たちが撮影したクジラやイルカの群れの動画や写真などを見せてくれて、子供たちにとても優しかったです。
肝心のクジラですが、潮吹きークジラの背中や尾びれ、見れました!

On the morning of the day, when the shuttle bus arrived at the location, I was told that it was canceled. The day before, there had been bad weather, and as a result, the sea was murky. I changed my reservation to the latest time at 3 PM, thinking it might be better in the afternoon. However, the visibility was only about a meter. I felt that this was unacceptable, especially since I had paid over 15,000 yen. I think it would be completely different if I went on a nice day. I wish there had been a half-price refund system.
当日朝、送迎バスが現地に到着したときに、キャンセルになりましたと言われました。前日天候が悪い日があり、そのため海が濁ってるとのこと。午後ならいけるかもしれないと予約を変更して一番遅い3時になることに。しかしながら透明度がメートルほどでした。一万五千円以上払ってるのに、これはないなぁと思ったりもしました。天気の良い日に行くと全然違うんですよね、多分。半額バック制度があればよかったなー

The optional tour we had planned was suddenly canceled due to bad weather, so we made a last-minute reservation to participate that morning. The sea was very pleasant, and we enjoyed the beautiful scenery. After a while, we encountered a mother whale and her calf, along with a pod of dolphins! They were very close, and we could hear the sounds they made when they spouted water. They stayed near the surface for a long time, allowing us to watch them for quite a while, which was incredibly moving! While the whale was diving, we enjoyed watching the dolphins jump, making for a very fulfilling experience.
予定していたオプショナルツアーが天候不良により急遽中止になってしまったため、当日朝に予約しての参加でした。

The weather was nice, and I was glad to be able to see whales.
Even though it's always summer in Hawaii, the sea was cold in February. I wore warm clothing and a hood, so I managed to stay comfortable. It's necessary to prepare for the cold.
I quickly realized that whales were visible thanks to the announcements from the guide and captain.
The whales that appeared repeatedly flapped their tails, almost as if they were waving.

The horseback riding experience allowed us to spend a very slow time. My wife also enjoyed her first horseback riding experience. The scenery was wonderful with the ocean and mountains, but the fact that it was a filming location for Jurassic Park was a bit underwhelming as a selling point. The weather was bad, but we were prepared for rain, which was helpful (I was almost about to buy a windbreaker). However, the lack of enthusiasm from the staff who accompanied us was disappointing... Even though the horseback riding started at 11:00, we were picked up at 6:50 and had nothing to do for two hours, which was frustrating. After the horseback riding, we had to wait an hour for the shuttle, and since the location is Kualoa, it might be far, but I wish there was a way to improve that. If that could be resolved, it would be perfect.
乗馬体験は、非常にSLOWな時間を過ごすことが出来ました。奥さんも初めての乗馬体験で楽しんでいました。
景色も海や山と素晴らしかったですが、ジュラシックパークのロケ地というのは、ちょっとうたい文句にしてはいまいちでした。

ただ、同行していただいたスタッフの方のやる気のなさには・・・
乗馬が、11時スタートなのに6時50分ピックアップ2時間何もすることがなく時間を持て余す事態に・・・乗馬後も送迎までに1時間待ち、場所がクアロアなので遠いこともあるでしょうがもう少し何とかならないものかと、そこが解消されれば最高ですね

There were few visitors, so we were able to enjoy various attractions with almost no wait time. It was a bit disappointing that a couple of attractions were closed. The place was smaller than I had imagined, but there were thrilling attractions, and we had a lot of fun going on them multiple times. The weather was a bit chilly, so three hours was more than enough. Perhaps because there were few visitors, the staff was sparse, and the atmosphere felt similar to that of a community pool. The food at the concession stand had large portions, so sharing one was more than enough.

It was my first time riding in a helicopter, and I never expected such strong winds to blow in without windows. I was so focused on keeping my glasses from flying off that I didn't have the luxury of enjoying the scenery. There was no escape from the wind in the cramped cabin. After landing, I looked at my glasses and saw that the tears blown away by the wind had crystallized and turned completely white. I do not recommend wearing contact lenses; they will definitely come off. Even with sunglasses, the intense wind comes in through the gaps, so I don't think it makes much difference. The pilot's announcements were hard to hear due to the strong wind noise. I hope they fly a bit slower next time, but I guess that would take too long and increase the cost.
初めてヘリコプターに乗りましたが、窓が無いとここまで強い風が吹き込んでくるとは思っても見ませんでした。終始メガネが飛ばないように押さえるのに必死で景色を楽しむ余裕もありませんでした。狭い機内に風から逃げ場はありません。着陸後メガネを見ると風に飛ばされた涙が結晶化して真っ白になってました。コンタクトレンズの方はオススメしません。確実に剥がれ落ちます。サングラスをしても隙間から強烈な風が入りますのであまり意味はないと思います。パイロットのアナウンスも風切り音が強いためあまりよく聞き取れませんでした。希望としてはもう少し速度を落として飛んでほしい。ただそうなると時間がかかりすぎるので料金もあがるのでしょうね。

I made a same-day reservation for a private plan through the app and arrived. After parking my car, I went to the reception where I was told to leave my belongings in the car and only take my phone.
I put on a helmet and received an explanation along with three other customers.
Huh?? A private plan..!?
The staff kindly explained everything. At one point, I was handed a smartphone, and we all read the instructions written in Japanese together.
After that, we set off. Just before departure, it started to rain, and they lent me a rain jacket.
During the horseback riding, there was one staff member assigned to each group. The horse I rode on started to relieve itself right away and then immediately went off to eat grass, which was quite challenging.
I tried to follow the initial instructions, but when I called for the staff, they seemed a bit annoyed while helping me.
Perhaps because it started to rain, the horse became grumpy and suddenly crouched down. At that moment, one of my legs got pinned underneath. It was my first time riding, and I was really surprised by the suddenness of it, but the staff scolded the horse, and since I wasn't injured, I was able to return safely.
After that, there was no particular follow-up, and since I settled the payment through the app, it ended with a casual "thank you for your hard work." I was really looking forward to it, but I returned home feeling a bit unsettled.
Tipping wasn't specifically requested; there was a jar in the waiting area where you could drop in tips.
By the way, it takes about 10 minutes by car to get to Giovanni, famous for its garlic shrimp.

その後出発しました。出発前に雨が降ってきてレインジャケットを貸してくれました。
乗馬はグループごとに1人スタッフさんがついてくれて行きました。
私が乗った馬は開始早々大も小もしはじめて、更にすぐに草を食べに行ってしまうのですごく大変でした。
なんとか最初に説明を受けた通りにしていましたが、スタッフさんを呼ぶとめんどくさそうな感じで対応してくれました。
途中雨が降ってきたからか、馬が不機嫌になり、急にしゃがんでしまいました。
その時私の片足が下敷きになりました。
初めての乗馬でしたし、突然のことですごく驚きましたが、スタッフさんが馬を叱って?くれ、怪我もしていなかった為無事に戻れました。
その後特にフォローはなく、清算もアプリからしていたので、お疲れ様〜って感じで終わりました。すごく楽しみにしていたのですが、なんかもやもやしながら帰りました。
チップは特に求められず待合所?にビンが置いてあってチップを入れるみたいでした。

We ended up saving this activity for our last evening on the island (which was Monday, February 11th), and it was truly the perfect way to end our trip. The culture and setting of this event were brilliant, and the food was good with a fair amount of variety (I am a vegetarian, but my boyfriend RAVED about the pork).
If you are staying in Waikiki, make sure to give yourself plenty of time to get to Paradise Cove. We left around 3:45, and I believe it took us nearly an hour to get there, given the traffic. I would also strongly suggest flip flops or open-toed shoes, as the entire event takes place on the beach (I was silly and made the mistake of wearing tennis shoes). In February it was a bit chilly in the evening, so I would also recommend a light jacket and sunglasses.
The entire crew and cast were exceptional, and I appreciated getting a glimpse into the culture. Overall, my favorite experience while here.

He has always wanted to ride in a helicopter, and this ended up being the perfect addition to our itinerary. We went on a Friday morning, and the entire staff was friendly and welcoming, as well as informative on what to expect. For the approximately hour long flight, our wonderful pilot Margot (my deepest apologies if this is not spelled correctly) gave narrative to what we were seeing, as well as provided jokes and reassurance any time the flight even remotely became rocky. The views were breathtaking, and this was the perfect way to appreciate how green and full of life this island is. We both felt this was more than worth the money, and we enjoyed every moment. It seems like it can get quite chilly up there though, so I would recommend a jacket.

This was my ninth trip to Hawaii, but it was my first time traveling in February, so I made a reservation. I was able to see both whales and dolphins, and the view of Waikiki from the boat was incredibly beautiful, creating wonderful memories.
9回目のハワイでしたが、2月に旅行が初めてだったので、予約しました。
クジラもイルカも見れて、また船からのワイキキもすごく綺麗に見れて
思い出になりました。
Thank you very much for joining our cruise. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed observing the whales and dolphins. Please come again. All of our staff are looking forward to your visit.

When the weather is nice, you can clearly see Waikiki and Diamond Head, which feels great. At first, I couldn't see anything at all and almost gave up, but they finally appeared towards the end. However, while I did see whales, they were far away, so it wasn't as impressive as what you see in the brochures; it was more like, "Is that it?" Well, since it was a large ship, I didn't experience any seasickness, so I think that was a good thing.
天気が良いとワイキキやダイヤモンドベッドがクッキリと見えて気分が良いかと。最初は全然見えなくて諦めかけましたが、最後の方でやっと現れました。でも、確かにクジラは見えたけど遠かったので、パンフにあるような迫力ではなく、あれか、という感じです。まあ、大型船なので船酔いもなかったので、良かったかなと思います。
Thank you very much for joining our cruise.
On some days, you may see very active whales jumping, so please come back to look for those whales.
All of our staff are looking forward to your visit.

The ship was large and there was little rocking. However, it was a bit disappointing that I could only see the whale briefly as it moved from starboard to port. But since I did see it, I hope to see more next time. I was able to take photos of the dolphins.
船が大きくて揺れも少なかったです。
ただクジラが現れてから右舷、左舷と移動していたら
少ししか見えなかったのは残念です。
でも見えたので次回はもっと見たいですね。
イルカは写真撮れました。

The backstage tour is truly a VIP experience. The "green room" pass handed out at check-in, the table code, the table napkins, and the survey forms are all green.
The term "green room" is said to have originated from Elvis Presley, who kept many plants in his dressing room for his throat.
Upon entering, I was guided to the green room where I was surprised by a welcome from Michael Jackson! I even got to take a photo with him. I enjoyed welcome champagne and snacks while chatting with a hula dancer.
After a while, the manager came to guide us. We walked through a hallway with the performers' schedules posted and finally headed to the stage.
I could see the audience dining through a thin curtain. They showed us how to change the stage lighting and change colors, and explained that the performers enter and exit through a stretch curtain. It was a space unlike anything I had ever seen.
Backstage, there were many costumes for quick changes. They explained that each performer has to change in a very short time, which conveyed the difficulty of their work. I got to wear a large headdress for Tahitian dance. It was so big that I discovered I had to maintain my balance while dancing.
I was so impressed when I saw this show about two years ago that I decided to take the backstage tour this time. Seeing a world I didn't know made me feel closer to the performers, and I enjoyed it even more than last time.
The behind-the-scenes of the stage is a world you can't see in everyday life. I had a truly wonderful time.
バックステージツアーは、とにかく VIP待遇です。チェックインの時に渡される 「グリーンルーム」のパス、テーブルコードも テーブルナプキンも アンケート用紙も グリーン。
「グリーンルーム」とは、エルビスプレスリーが 喉のために植物を沢山置いていた楽屋にちなんで 楽屋のことをそう呼ぶようになったのだそうです。
真っ先に入場すると グリーンルームに案内されマイケルジャクソンの歓迎!にはビックリしました。一緒に写真を撮ってもらいました。
ウェルカムシャンパンとつまみを フラダンサーとお話ししながら頂きました。
しばらくすると マネージャーが案内のために来てくれました。演者のスケジュールが貼られた廊下を通り いよいよステージへ。
薄い幕越しに食事中の客席が見えます。ステージのライティングの指示をして 色を変えて見せてくれたり 演者の出入り幕がストレッチであることを教えてくれたり 見たことのない空間でした。
舞台袖には 早変わり用の衣装が沢山置いてあります。それを 各々が自分で本当に短い時間で変えなければならないと説明してくれて 出演者の大変さが 伝わってきました。タヒチアンダンスの大きな髪飾りを被らせてもらいました。大変大きいので バランスをとりながら踊らなければならないという新しい発見もありました。
2年程前にこのショーを観て とても感激したので 今回はバックステージツアーにしました。知らない世界を見て 演者さんとの距離が縮まったような気がして 前回以上に楽しむことが出来ました。
ステージの裏側は、日常では見ることの出来ない世界です。とても素晴らしい時間を過ごさせてもらいました。
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。

This time, I experienced the highest height of 150 meters! It was a quick six minutes, but on the way to the point, a pod of dolphins appeared, and we were lucky enough to see a whale from above, which was truly moving!
Before getting on the boat, if you request photos, for an additional 3,000 yen, the staff will take pictures of you parasailing with a DSLR from inside the boat. You receive the data along with a tip when you get off the boat.
Even if you end up with a funny face in the pictures, you can feel at ease!
All the staff were locals, but they spoke gentle English that was easy to understand, so even those of us who don't speak English could comprehend everything.
I'm really glad I participated in this activity!
今回、一番高い150mの高さを体験してきました!
あっと言う間の6分間でしたが、ポイントに向かう途中にはイルカの群れも現れ、上空からは運良くクジラも見れて感動しました!
船に乗る前に写真を頼むとプラス三千円で船内からスタッフさんが一眼レフでパラセーリング中の写真を撮ってくれます。船から降りる時にチップごとデータをもらえるシステムです。
へんな顔で写ってても安心ですw
スタッフの皆さんは現地の方ばかりでしたが、優しい英語をわかりやすく話してくれたので、英語のできない私達でも理解する事ができました。
こちらのアクティビティに参加して本当に良かったです!

**[Experience Review]**
Since I participated at the end of January, it felt a bit chilly, but I didn't get wet, and the weather was great, so I really enjoyed it! When landing, I had the option to choose whether to land in the water or not, but due to the cold, I opted out of landing in the water (laughs).
**[What I Liked About This Tour]**
During the experience, they took photos from the boat, and they captured some really unique shots (like a shark trying to bite through the parasailing rope). I enjoyed looking at the photos even after returning home.
**[Advice for Future Participants]**
There happened to be a woman who signed up alone, so after my husband and I flew, I ended up flying again with her (laughs). It seems that you can't fly alone unless you weigh over 80 kilograms. I had so much fun that I didn't mind flying twice, but my husband said, "If I were told to fly twice, I'd feel nothing but despair." It seems that 150 meters in Japan and 150 meters in Hawaii mean different things; due to strong winds, it felt very scary for him. (In Japan, the rope length is 150 meters, while in Hawaii, it's the height from the water surface.) I have experienced it in Japan as well, and it was an extraordinary height!
The meeting place is a bit hard to find, so if you're staying at the Hilton and going on your own, I think you should allow some extra time. We got lost. They seem to take photos if you ask, and they gave them to us on an SD card after disembarking. Tips are quite obvious (laughs), as you can see $10 or $20 bills stuck on the boat, so my husband and I gave $20. I didn't mind since it was so much fun!
【実際に体験した感想】
1月末に参加したため少し肌寒く感じましたが水に濡れることもなく
お天気もよかったので本当に楽しかったです!
着地の際は着水するかしないか選べましたが寒さのあまり着水は拒否(笑)
【このツアーで気に入ったところ】
体験中に船から写真を撮ってくれているのですが
なんともユニークな(サメがパラセーリングの紐を食いちぎろうとしてる)
写真も撮ってくれていて、帰ったあとも写真を見て楽しめました。
【これから参加する人へのアドバイス】
たまたま1人で申し込みされている女性がいたため
私は主人と飛んだあと、その女性と再度飛ぶことになりました(笑)
どうやら体重が80キロ以上ないと1人では飛べないらしいです。
私は楽しかったので2度飛ぶことに苦痛は感じませんでしたが
主人は「2回も飛んでなんて言われたら絶望感しかない。」と・・・
日本での150mとハワイでの150mは意味が違うようで
強風でかなり揺れたこともあり主人にはとても怖く感じたそうです。
(日本はロープの長さが150mハワイは水面?からの高さが150m)
実際、日本でも体験したことがありますが規格外の高さでした!
集合場所が少しわかり辛いためヒルトンにお泊りで自力で集合される方は
少し時間に余裕を持って行かれるべきだと思います。私たちは迷いました。
写真は欲しいと言うと撮ってくれるようで下船後にSDでくれました。
チップはあからさま(笑)に船に10ドルや20ドルが刺さってますので
私と主人とで20ドル渡してきました。楽しかったので気になりませんでした!
