I am a 45-year-old man. Two years ago, I participated in a 90-minute scenic course here, but this time I brought my 1st-grade daughter and 5th-grade son, and we participated in a 60-minute scenic course as a family of four. We rented a car early in the morning and it took about an hour from our hotel in Waikiki. We encountered rain in December, but by the time we arrived at the ranch, the weather cleared beautifully.
A young woman at the reception became our contact person. Almost everything except for the contract was in English, but I think it’s manageable even if you don’t understand everything. A year ago, when my child rode a small horse in Cairns, a Japanese person on a working holiday helped pull the reins, but at Gunstock, even my 1st grader rode a proper horse by themselves. The guide led the way, followed by the two children and then the couple. The kids were quite nervous at first, but after about 15 minutes, they learned to kick the horse's belly, which made the horse move, and they looked happy.
The distance differs between the 90-minute and 60-minute rides, but I think the height of the hills we climbed was quite different. Since we had elementary school children with us, the 60 minutes was sufficient, and we could see the beautiful North Shore sea. Along the way, we saw horses and cows grazing. Walking with the horses was pleasant, and the scenery was lovely, creating a wonderful feeling. While riding, the guide shared various information about the ranch, but with my language skills, I only understood about half of it. Still, it was a good experience for our family. The guide was kind and accommodating to us. (By the way, this was my second time, and the staff were all young both times.)
If we can go again, I would like to do the 90-minute ride with my family. We have also ridden at another ranch on Oahu, but we prefer Gunstock. The reception is just a small hut, giving it a rustic and pastoral atmosphere like a Western movie ranch. There are turkeys, goats, and dogs wandering around, and as you go further in, there are many horses. All of them are large and impressive, exuding both gentleness and dignity. I’ve been there twice, and the staff were all young both times. It really feels like America.
45歳男性です。2年前にもここで90分のシーニックコースに参加しましたが、今回は小1女子と小5男子の子供を連れて、親子4人で60分シーニックコースに参加しました。朝1でレンタカーを借り、ワイキキのホテルから1時間くらいでしょうか、12月の雨に降られましたが、牧場に着くと見事に晴れ上がりました。
受付の若い女性がそのまま我が家の担当になりました。契約書以外はほぼ100%英語ですが、わからなくてもなんとかなると思います。1年前にケアンズで乗馬した時の子供の馬はかなり小型で、ワーホリの日本人が手綱を引っ張ってくれましたが、ガンストックでは小1でも本格的な馬に一人で乗ります。ガイドさんが先頭で、その後に子供二人、夫婦二人が続きました。子供は最初かなりビビってましたが、15分もするとお腹をキックすることにを覚え、それで馬が動いてくれるので、嬉しそうでした。90分と60分では距離も違いますが、登る丘の高さがかなり違ったと思います。小学生連れなので、それでも十分で、ノースショアの海が綺麗に見えますし、途中に、馬や牛が放牧されています。馬と散歩するのは、景色も良く、何ともいい気分です。乗馬しながら、牧場のことなど、ガイドさんが色々と教えてくれましたが、私の語学力では半分くらいしかわからず、でも、それも我が家にとっては良い経験です。ガイドさんもこんな我が家に優しく付き合ってくれました。(ちなみに、2回目ですが、いずれもスタッフは若い方ばかりでした。)もしまた行けるなら90分に家族で行きたいですね。
オアフでは、他の某牧場でも乗馬したことがありますが、私達はガンストックが好きです。受付といっても小屋が一つあるだけで、西部劇の牧場のような、素朴で牧歌的な雰囲気です。あたりには、七面鳥やヤギ、犬が歩き回っていて、奥に進むと馬がたくさんいます。どれも立派な大きな馬で優しくも威厳を感じますね。2回行きましたが、いずれもスタッフは若い方ばかりでした。アメリカって感じです。

I participated because the low tide at the sandbar matched my travel schedule. The water depth was about calf-deep, which I thought was great. After walking on the sandbar and taking photos, those who wanted to went snorkeling. Unlike snorkeling in areas close to the shore, it was a bit of a unique experience.
サンドバーの干潮時期と旅行日程が合ったので参加しました。
水深は、ふくらはぎ程度でしたので良かったと思います。
サンドバーの上を歩いて写真撮影等をした後で、希望者のみシュノーケリングをしました。

I participated with my mother, who is in her 60s and cannot swim. She was worried about whether it would be okay since she can't swim, but as long as you don't snorkel, it's not a problem at all. You can wait on the boat or play in shallow areas. However, when getting off the boat, it is quite deep, so I think it might be surprising at first. After that, it's shallow, so as long as you pay attention when getting off, I don't think there will be any issues.
Unfortunately, the weather was cloudy and rainy, which was disappointing, but the cruise staff were very nice. When you see a turtle, they will point out the direction, saying something like "Turtle at 3 o'clock!" I would like to try again on a sunny day.
泳げない60代の母親と2人で参加しました。泳げないので大丈夫か母親が心配していましたが、シュノーケルをしなければ、全然問題ないです。船で待つこともできますし、浅いところで遊ぶこともできます。ただ、船から降りるときはとても深いので、最初びっくりすると思います。その先は浅いので、降りるときだけ注意していれば問題ないと思います。
お天気があいにく曇りと雨で残念でしたが、クルーズのスタッフの方もとてもいいかたでした。亀が見えると、かめー3時とか亀がいる方向を教えてくれますよ♪お天気がいいときに再チャレンジしたいです。

This was my second time participating in the lesson. It was a group session, and since we were surfing at the beach near Diamond Head in Waikiki, my mother and I took a walk on the beach while watching my daughter surf.

For the price we paid we were disappointed. The brochure made the park look much larger than it really was. Also, many of the slides were closed, opened periodically. I think they may have been short staffed as lifeguards hopped from slide to slide closing them as they went.
Slides were fun but I don't think worth what we paid.

The tour was quite cold due to the cloudy weather. Everyone on the tour was Japanese. There was one Japanese guide and a few locals from Hawaii. The Japanese guide mainly led the tour. During the sea turtle watching, we were able to see several sea turtles. After the photo session at the sandbar, we went snorkeling. It was cold! (laughs) Since we were snorkeling in a large group, honestly, we couldn't see anything due to the sand. I had imagined beautiful fish and coral, but unfortunately, that wasn't the case. A light meal of sandwiches and chips, along with warm drinks, was also provided. I hope to go on a nice weather day next time!

Our accommodation was at Hilton Hawaiian Village, but the pickup was at Ilikai Hotel (meeting at 9 AM). I was surprised to find that the pickup vehicle was a large bus instead of a van. I understood why the meeting point was in front of Ilikai Hotel, as it must be difficult to enter the narrow pickup area at Hilton. After that, we stopped at several hotels, and by the time we headed to the port, the bus was almost full. We arrived at the port in about an hour. After that, we took a boat to the sandbar. Since it wasn't low tide, even in shallow areas, the water depth was up to my knees, but the scenery was beautiful. We then had lunch with hamburgers topped with grilled patties on the boat, moved to a spot where sea turtles frequently appear for turtle watching from the boat, and then went to a large coral reef for snorkeling. Here, we were able to see many fish and turtles. However, I think the coral and sea in Ishigaki Island, where I go diving every year, might be prettier (though it probably depends on the day's conditions). After returning to the port, we switched to a bus and went back to the hotel (we returned to the hotel around 3 PM). When we got off the boat, the Japanese guide asked for a tip, which made me wonder if it wasn't included in the tour fee. There are tours on Veltra that include tips, so it might be a good idea for everyone to check.
宿泊先がヒルトンハワイアンビレッジでしたが、ピックアップはイリカイホテルでした。(9時に集合)迎えの車をワゴン車だと思っていたら、大型バスでびっくり。ヒルトンの狭い送迎場所に入りにくいのだろうなと、集合場所がイリカイホテル前だったことを納得しました。その後、数ヵ所のホテルに寄り、港に向かう時にはバスがほぼ満席になっていました。港には1時間程度で到着。その後、船でサンドバーへ。サンドバーは、干潮でなかったため、膝程度まで浅いところでも水深がありましたが、きれいな景色が広がっていました。その後、船上で焼き上げたパテをのせたハンバーガーの昼食、ウミガメがよく出没するポイントに移動して船上からのウミガメ見学、大きなサンゴ礁に移動してシュノーケルを行いました。ここでは、たくさんの魚や亀を見ることができました。ただ、毎年ダイビングに行く石垣島のほうが珊瑚や海はきれいかな。(その日のコンディションにもよるのでしょうが)その後、港にもどり、バスに乗り換え、ホテルに戻りました。(ホテルに戻ったのが15時くらい)船を降りるときに、日本人のガイドにチップを求められた時は、ツアー料金に含まれていないの?と疑問が沸いて来ましたので、同じveltraのツアーでチップ込のツアーもあったりしますので、皆さん確認はされたほうがいいかもしれません。

Parasailing ★★★★☆
Transportation ★★☆☆☆
Photography (30$) ★★★☆☆
This time, I experienced 120 meters! Parasailing was a lot of fun. Surprisingly, it was quiet, and I was able to enjoy beautiful views from high up. It was a great experience. I wish I could have flown a bit longer. I think the flight time was about 10 minutes. It felt like the flight time was a little short compared to the overall duration, so I gave it four stars. There were four groups of participants, and we took turns flying. While others were flying, we waited on the boat, so I felt it might get boring if you fly first and have to wait until everyone is done. We were the third group.
The transportation arrived 30 minutes late. It was good that the staff at our hotel confirmed it over the phone, but I was anxious. The driver said "busy busy," but I think the delay was due to having one boat and one shuttle van rotating four groups every hour.
I requested photography. After getting off the boat, I received an SD card for 30$. It contained 90 images. They took pictures of us taking off, returning to the boat, the scenery from the boat, and some two-shots on the boat. Since they were taken in burst mode, most of the photos are quite similar. So, while there are 90 images, I don't think it feels that much of a bargain. However, the boat does sway quite a bit, so while it's not impossible, it's difficult to take pictures with your own phone or camera. If you want to keep photos of your parasailing experience, I recommend requesting it. Before taking off, they ask, "Photo thirty dollars." I think it's better to say "YES PLEASE" here. They hardly took photos of those who didn't intend to buy. After getting off the boat, they let you check the contents of the SD card through the camera. I think you can decide whether to buy or not at that time.
パラセイリング★★★★☆
送迎★★☆☆☆
写真撮影(30$)★★★☆☆
今回は120メートルを体験しました!パラセイリングはとても楽しかったです。意外にも静かで高いところから美しい景色を眺めることができました。良い経験が出来ました。もう少し長く飛んでいたかったです。滞空時間は10分程度だったと思います。全体の所要時間に対して滞空時間が少しだけ短いように感じたので、星は4つです。計4組の参加者がおり、順番に飛びます。他の方々が飛んでいる間はボートで待っているので、最初に飛んでしまうと全員が飛び終わるまで待つのが退屈になりそうと感じました。私たちは3番目でした。
送迎が定時より30分遅れて到着しました。滞在ホテルのスタッフに電話で確認を取ってもらえたので良かったのですが、不安でした。「busy busy」とドライバーは言っていましたが、1隻のボートと1台の送迎車で4組を1時間毎に繰り回しているために遅れが生じているのだと思います。
写真撮影をお願いしました。ボートを降りてから30$でSDカードを受け取ります。90枚画像が入っていました。飛び立つところやボートに戻ってくるところ、ボートからの風景、ボートでのツーショットなどの写真を取っていただきました。連写で撮影しているので、同じような写真がほとんどです。ですので、90枚もありますが、そこまでお得感があるというわけではないと思います。しかし、ボートの上はかなり揺れますので、自分の携帯やカメラで撮影するのは不可能ではありませんが難しいです。もし、パラセイリングの写真を残したいのならばお願いするべきでしょう。飛び立つ前に「シャシン サンジュウドル」と聞かれます。ここで「YES PLEASE」と言う方が良いと思います。買う意思がない方の写真はほとんど撮っていませんでした。ボートを降りてSDカードの中身をカメラ越しに確認させてくれます。買うか買わないかはその時でも決められると思います。

I made a reservation for a "Cruise & Sea" experience to help my husband, who has never been to Hawaii, fall in love with it. The weather was quite changeable, but during lunch and the timing at the sandbar, it cleared up beautifully, and it felt wonderful. We even saw sea turtles!
I didn't go snorkeling; instead, I relaxed on the boat, enjoying the scenery and reading, which was also nice. My husband was enjoying the beautiful views on the Angel's Sea Cruise as well!
When we went from the boat to the sandbar, we had to swim a little in the water, and I thought it would have been better if we could have just stepped onto the sand directly. (I guess it might not be possible because it's a large boat.)

About the shuttle service: It was not the flashy van mentioned on the voucher, but rather a blue van with no markings. The driver, who only spoke English, was asking people who seemed to be tour participants, "Parasailing?" so I think it wouldn't be a problem even if you don't understand the language.
Despite being 56, my mother, who has loved thrill rides since she was young, and I, who get cold sweats even when the airplane shakes, decided to take on the challenge. It was my first time parasailing, but the handsome staff provided instructions in Japanese, English, and Chinese, making everything very easy to understand.
The first group was an American couple, and as the boat sped up, we were all nervous on the boat, but the couple up in the air was extremely excited. When it was our turn in the second group, the moment we sat at the back of the boat and waited was the scariest part, but once we were up in the air, there was no shaking or ups and downs; we were simply moved by the beautiful blue sky of Hawaii and the sparkling ocean spread out below us.
When we descended, it was not a rapid drop but a slow one, gently splashing into the sea and then coming back up, and finally, we were softly lowered down.
It became the best memory of Hawaii!
シャトルサービスについて:バウチャーに書いてある派手なバンではなく、青色の何の表記も無いバンでした。英語しかしゃべらない運転手さんがツアー参加者っぽい人たちに「パラセイリング?」と声掛けてたので、たとえ言葉が分からなくても問題ないと思います。
56にも関わらず若いときから絶叫系大好きな母と、飛行機が気流で揺れても冷や汗搔く私のコンビで挑戦しました。人生初のパラセイリングだったが、スタッフのイケメンが日本語英語中国語で指示出していたので、説明がすごく分かりやすかったです。
1組目はアメリカ人のカップルで、実際ボートがスピード出して飛ばしていくにつれて、ボートにいた私たちがどきどきハラハラしてましたが、上に上がったカップルは大興奮してました。2組目で順番が回ってきて、船尾に座って待ってた瞬間が怖さマックスでしたが、実際上がっていくと、揺れも無く、上下の起伏もなく、ただひたすらハワイの青空と一面に広がる海の輝きに感動されました。
降りていくときも急降下ではなく、ゆっくりで、海にポチャンしてまた上がって、最後にやさしく降ろしてくれました。
ハワイ最高の思い出になりました!

My girlfriend and I did it. At first she thought it was going to be challenging but anyone with a good enough physical condition can do this tour. Bring your camera! some ice water, (water is provided but bring your own ice water if you can,) You need all the basics, you're going to be outdoors for a long period of time so you need sunblock, some mosquito repellent, a book-bag, sunglasses, ice water, some extra snacks for yourself and an extra battery for your camera or a portable charger for your phone. Do it!
Mahalo! We hope you will come ride again next time.. We hope to have some new trails for you by then. Happy Holidays!

It was a bit raining in the morning but the Monoa Falls was very very nice.
Our guide explained us very kind and neatly so we understood well.
You must need a shoe to go with.( Some people went there by Beach sandals and slipping over the mud)

It was the rainy season in Honolulu, but we were blessed with good weather and spent a fun few days there. On the last day, we participated in this tour. Unfortunately, we didn't encounter any wildlife, but as everyone has mentioned, it's nature, so there's nothing we can do about it (^^;
However, at the end, we received a compensation slip. Since it was the last day, I thought it would be nice to offer a small refund or even a commemorative postcard for those who missed out. It would change the feeling of disappointment and make us more excited to come back and see them next time!
But all the staff members were great♪ Thank you very much!
雨季のホノルルでしたが、天候に恵まれ
楽しい数日間を過ごし、最終日にこのツアーに参加しました。
あいにく遭遇できませんでしたが、皆さん書かれているように、自然の生き物ですから仕方ないですね(^^;
ただ最後に、補償の紙をいただきましたが
最終日でしたし
そういう人のためには少しでも返金
もしくは記念のポストカード1枚でもあると
残念感が違うし、今度は見るぞ!という気分にさせるのでは?と思いました。
でも、staffの方はみんな良かったです♪
ありがとうございました

I have a fear of heights and I'm not good with roller coasters, but after reading some experiences, I thought it might be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so I decided to challenge myself and go for the 150m jump.
There were three groups participating, including my husband and me, a French couple, and a newlywed Japanese couple. We arrived five minutes early, and while I was looking around, a plump gentleman was already waiting. When they called my name, we boarded the bus.
We then met up with the other two couples and arrived at a place with many boats. After receiving our tickets, we quickly boarded a boat, and in about five minutes, we reached the jumping spot. I took some stomach medicine just in case, but the sea was so beautiful that I didn't feel any seasickness at all.
As others have mentioned, there was no explanation for us (maybe it was in English), and just as we were fitted with the equipment, the Japanese couple jumped first. During that time, lively reggae music was playing loudly, creating a fun atmosphere.
Then it was our turn! We ascended slowly, so there was no fear at all—just excitement! However, after a few minutes at the highest point, both my husband and I felt a bit weak in the knees. But looking around, the view was so beautiful that the feeling of pleasure outweighed any fear.
After about seven minutes of flying, we had our traditional splash into the sea, and we went in up to our chests, which was a lot of fun. The staff who weren't operating the boat took pictures with my husband's phone, and we were very satisfied! There were even some videos included, which was a nice surprise (laughs).
At the end, they asked for tips, and while I didn't see how much the other couples gave, I thought around 10% would be appropriate, so I gave $20. On the way back on the bus, since we were the last ones, I handed $5 to the gentleman, and he happily said, "Thank you, brothers!" which made me feel good.
If possible, I wish the driver and the boat staff could speak Japanese, so I deducted one star, but I would definitely like to use this service again when I go to Hawaii. Thank you very much!
高所恐怖症&ジェットコースターが大の苦手な私でしたが体験談を読んで、一生に一度かもしれないと思い150mに挑戦しました。
私達夫婦以外にフランス人カップルと日本人の新婚さん夫婦の3組で参加でした。
5分前には着いたのですが、ふくよか体型のおじ様が既に待っていてキョロキョロしていたら名前を呼ばれバスに乗り込みました。
そのまま2組とも合流し、船が沢山ある場所につきチケットを貰ったらすぐに船に乗り込み、5分くらいで飛ぶ場所に、、
酔い止めがなく一応胃薬はのんだんですが
船酔いなんて全然しないほど、海が綺麗でした。
皆様が書いてあるように私達には説明がなく(もしかしたら英語で言ってたのかも)器具を装着されたと思ったら最初は日本人夫婦が飛び、その間は
軽快なレゲエ調の音楽を爆音で流してくれてノリノリに♪
次に私達の番でした!
ゆっくり上がってくので恐怖は全然なく
わー*\(^o^)/*っていう感情のみでしたが、さすがに一番高い所で何分かかいると私も旦那もちょっと足がすくみましたが周りをみるととても綺麗で下さえみなければ気持ちよさが勝ちます。
7分くらいの空の散歩のあとは恒例の海ポチャをしてくれて胸のしたくらいまでは入りましたが楽しかったです。
写真は船を動かしてないスタッフの方が旦那の携帯で撮ってくれて大満足です!!
たまに動画も入ってて驚きです(笑)
そして最後にチップくださーい!
って言われたので他の夫婦はどれくらい渡したかみてませんが大体10%くらいかな?
って思って20ドル渡しました。
帰りのバスのときは私達が最後だったので5ドルおじ様に渡したら
サンキューブラザーズ!!
と言って喜んでくれたのでよかったです。
できれば運転手さんも船のスタッフも日本語が話さればということで☆一つ減らしましたがまた、ハワイに行く際は利用したいです。
ありがとうございました!!

I expected there to be many Japanese people at the Prince Hotel, but surprisingly, most of the guests were locals. The food, including crab, kept coming without interruption. While it wasn't exceptionally delicious, I was able to enjoy Japanese cuisine such as tempura and sashimi. The sunset view was also nice. I think the cost performance is good. I would like to go again.
プリンスホテルということで日本人がたくさんいると思っていましたが、以外にも現地の人がほとんどでした。カニなどの食事も途切れることなくどんどんでてきました。大変おいしい問ほどではありませんが、てんぷら、おさしみなど日本食も堪能できました。また夕暮れの景色もよかったです。コスパはよいと思います。また行きたいと思います。

Thank you for participating in the Blue Hawaii Divers tour the other day! I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed it. The turtle we saw at Keyhole was spotted by the husband of the newlyweds who joined us that day, right? The large white mouth moray eel was beautiful as well. I'm happy to hear you liked the photos! Please do join us again when you come back to Hawaii. Next time, I hope to take you out beyond the white waves.
Thank you. Mahalo!!
先日はブルーハワイダイバースのツアーにご参加いただき、ありがとうございました!!とても楽しんでいただけたようで、私も嬉しく思います。キーホールで見れた亀さんはその日にご一緒に参加されていた新婚さんの旦那様がたしか亀を見つけてくれた日でしたね。大きなホワイトマウスモオレイ(ウツボ)もきれいでした。お写真も喜んでいただけて良かったです!!ぜひまたハワイにお越しの際にはリピートしてくださいね。この次は白波を超えて沖の方までご案内できればと思っています。
ありがとうございました。Mahalo!!
