On April 29th, the meeting time was early at 5:30 AM, but waking up early was worth it as we were able to see many dolphins up close, and we even got to see dolphins swimming underwater while snorkeling. With our Japanese guide Minako, even those who are not confident in their language skills can participate with peace of mind. The crew members were cheerful and lively, and it was clear they were doing their best to ensure we could see the dolphins in the best conditions possible. I would love to join the tour again if the opportunity arises. It was a wonderful experience.
4月29日 集合は5時半と早かったですが、早起きした甲斐があり、たくさんのイルカを間近で見ることが出来、シュノーケルでも海中を泳ぐイルカを見ることができました。
日本人ガイドのミナコさんがいらっしゃるので、言葉に自信がなくても安心して参加できます。
クルーの方々も明るく賑やかで、できる限り、いいコンディションで我々がイルカをみられるように尽力しておられるのが感じられました。
また機会があればツアーに参加したいと思います。
とてもよい体験ができました。

There were seven of us.
When we inquired for seven people, there were no available options, and we had given up. However, it seems adjustments were made afterward, and we received a contact with possible plans suggested.
Additionally, we were informed that they could further optimize our situation right before the day.
The flights and transfers on the day were excellent, and the communication beforehand was top-notch.
Since it is managed by Japanese people who are always on-site, everything runs smoothly down to the smallest details, which I think will provide peace of mind for Japanese tourists.
Thank you very much.

The pickup and the pre-flight explanation were all conducted by Japanese staff, which made us feel at ease since we only speak a little English. The pilot spoke only in English, but he spoke slowly, and we were able to have enjoyable conversations during the flight, which was great. It was a windy day, but the scenery was magnificent, and I was deeply moved thinking that I was able to see this view with my own hands.

First of all, for those going in March, it can get really cold when the wind blows, so I definitely recommend bringing hotel towels. As someone from a competitive swimming background, I regret only bringing a chamois (laughs).
Also, lunch consists of really basic options like a single slice of pizza or a hot dog, which might not be enough for adults. However, you're only allowed to bring one unopened bottle of water into the park, so there's not much you can do about that. You don't have to rent a cabana since there are free shaded chair areas available, so I think it's fine to skip that option. But if you're not going right when the park opens, it might be safer to rent one. Most of these tours include transportation and usually arrive before the park opens, so you can generally secure a spot anyway, so I guess there's not much to worry about (laughs).
Also, not all attractions are open, so be aware of that. Flip-flops are recommended over water shoes. (However, since you'll be going barefoot on the attractions, if you're worried about walking on hot surfaces, aqua shoes are a good idea.)
Additionally, each attraction has height restrictions, and usually, they don't measure you, but sometimes there are staff members (those in polo shirts, beige shorts, and holding walkie-talkies) at the attractions who will measure your height very strictly, and if you're even a little short, they'll make you get off (laughs). When I went with my first-grade daughter, the first time we rode was with a part-time worker who didn't measure her height at all, but the second time, we were caught by that staff member who said she was a bit too short and made her get off. Even when I explained it was our second time, it didn't help.
There is a small pool for little kids, but even though it says "Not Ice," it's still pretty cold (laughs). There’s also a mini water slide, but you basically have to go down alone, so for kids who can't slide by themselves, it might just be cold for them. The prices are not cheap either, so I probably wouldn't go again. There are coin lockers available for free access, but they cost between $15 and $20, and there are showers, but they only have cold water. You might as well think that there are no hot showers anywhere in Hawaii. Given that, I think the pool might be a bit harsh for small children.
まず、3月に行く方は風が吹くとめちゃ寒いため、必ずホテルのタオルを持っていくことをおすすめします。競泳出身者なので、セームのみ持っていったことに後悔(笑)
また、昼食は本当に簡易的なピザ1ピースかホットドッグのため、大人は物足りないかも。ただ、園内への持ち込みは、未開封の水1本なので仕方ないかな。ガバナは借りなくても無料の日陰付きのチェアエリアに行けるので選択しなくても良いと思います。ただ、オープンと同時に行く人で無いなら借りておいた方が無難。でも、大抵こういったツアーは送迎付きでオープン前には現地についているので、大抵は場所取り出来るのでやっぱり心配ないかな(笑)また、アトラクションは全てやっているわけではないので注意。マリンシューズよりもビーサンの方がおすすめ。(でも、裸足でアトラクションには乗るので、歩く場所が裸足で暑くて心配な方はアクアシューズがおすすめ。)
あとは、それぞれのアトラクションには身長制限があって、大抵は測られないで行けるんだけど、たまに本部の人?(ポロシャツ着て、ベージュの短パン履いてトランシーバー持っている人)がアトラクションに居ると、めっちゃしっかり身長測られて少しでも足りないと容赦なく降ろされます(笑)小1娘と乗ったときも、一回目はバイトのお兄ちゃんだったからか何も身長測られずすんなり乗れたのに、2回目はその人に捕まって少し身長が足りないからと降ろされた。2回目だと言うことを伝えても無理でした。
後は、小さい子には小さい子用のプールがあるけど、「Not Ice」って書いてあるけど普通に寒い(笑)また、ミニウォータースライダーがあるけど、基本的には1人で滑らないといけないから、逆に1人で滑れない子はただただ寒いだけかも。値段も決して安くないし、2回目はないかな。コインロッカーはあって出し入れ自由だけど15ドル~20ドルが必要なのと、シャワーはあるけど水のみです。むしろ、ハワイで温水シャワーなんてどこも無いと思った方が良いかも。そうなると、やはり小さい子には酷なプールかなと思います。

We participated as a family. There were no Japanese people, and everything was in English. I stumbled a bit there. They were asking various questions to the customers, like "Has anyone done snorkeling before?" but I couldn't quite understand. In the end, another customer helped me with putting on the wetsuit (in English). Still, there were many Japanese families. When we got off the boat into the sea, there was a boy who panicked because he couldn't touch the bottom (of course, he was wearing a life jacket). The crew was throwing floatation devices from the boat and telling him to use them, but it didn't get through. When I asked in Japanese, "Do you want to use it?" he nodded and seemed to calm down. I think it's fine if you have no problem with everything being in English, but sometimes there are troubles...
Then there was seasickness! A few people were really groggy... some were lying down clutching bags, and a group of girls who were so excited at first looked completely exhausted. It was sad to see. My child is also prone to motion sickness, so I gave them anti-nausea candy twice, once before leaving Waikiki and once when boarding the boat, which helped. Anti-nausea measures are essential! Also, bring a towel. It gets cold when you come out of the sea! The wind was strong (while the boat was moving), and the wet body lost heat.
Finally, the kids were thrilled to get tattoo stickers, saying it felt "local"!
I saw a comment saying "no cash needed," so I didn't bring any, but I wish I had. It's a shame I couldn't give a tip to Tittha, who took great care of us. Thank you, Tittha!!
親子で参加。
日本人はおらず、全て英語で。
そこでちょっとつまずきました。
「スノーケリングやったことある人?」とか、色々お客さんに聞いてるんですが、
イマイチ理解出来ない。
ウェットスーツの着方も、結局他のお客さん(英語で)が手伝ってくれました。
それでも日本人のご家族も多くて。
ボートから海へ降りた時、足がつかないことにパニックになっている男の子がいたんですが(もちろんライフベストは着用していました)
ボートからクルーが浮き具を投げて何度も使ってと言っていたんですが、通じず。
私が日本語で「使う?」と声かけたら頷いて落ち着くことが出来たようです。
全て英語でも問題なければ、良いと思いますが、
時々トラブルが…。
あとは船酔い!
何人か…それはそれはもうグロッキーになって…袋を握りしめて横になっていたり、最初はあんなにはしゃいでたのにという女の子組もグッタリしていたり…。
見てて可哀想でした。
我が子も酔いやすいので、ワイキキ出発時と、船乗船時の2回、酔い止めキャンディを服用させて、難なきを得ました。
酔い止め対策必須ですね!
あとはタオル。海から上がると寒いです!
風も強いので(ボートで走ってる最中は)、濡れた体が体温を奪いました。
最後にタトゥーシールを貼って貰えたのが子供は「ロコっぽい」と大喜び!
どなたかのコメントで「現金はいらない」と書かれてあったので持って行かなかったのですが、
持って行けば良かったです。
私達親子のお世話をよくしてくれたTitthaにチップを渡せなかったのが残念です。

The umbrellas near the changing room are free, and they provide good shade, so I recommend them. There are paid ones further in, but they let in sunlight, and the restrooms are quite a distance away, so the free ones are more than enough!
The attractions are not too scary, and even elementary school kids can enjoy them. The area is not as large as I expected, making it easy to navigate. It was not crowded, so we were able to ride multiple times, and the kids seemed to be having a great time going around in groups.
更衣室付近のパラソルは無料で日差しも入って来なかったしオススメ。奥に有料もあるが日差しも入ってくるしトイレも色々と距離があったし、無料で十分!
アトラクションはどれも怖すぎず、小学生でもいける。
思っていたより広くなく、回りやすい。
空いてるいたので何度も乗ることができ、子どもたちはグループで回っている子が多く楽しそうだった。

During my daughter's high school graduation trip to Hawaii, we arranged for her to experience flying a Cessna. The weather was perfect, with clear skies, making it an ideal day for flying. For the pickup location, we communicated in advance that the main lobby of the Hilton Hawaiian Village Beach Resort Hotel would be crowded, so they designated the quieter car drop-off area at the Kalia Tower, which had benches. This turned out to be a great choice, as the main lobby was extremely busy, and it was uncertain whether we would meet the pickup person there.
After about a 30-minute drive from the hotel, we arrived at the office adjacent to the airport. After a brief explanation of the basic flying techniques, we met the pilot and the Cessna.
Once we took off in the Cessna, we had a stunning view of the hotels in Waikiki from above. Near Diamond Head, I let my daughter take over the controls. From the Cessna, it was clear that Diamond Head is a caldera.
As we flew further away from the land, the beautiful blue ocean spread out beneath us, and we even spotted some whales. After a while, we flew over the filming location of Jurassic Park. From above, it really felt like a T-Rex could be lurking around.
The conversation with the pilot was in English, but he actively engaged with us with a smile, helping to ease our nerves. The 60 minutes flew by, but it was an emotional experience. My daughter was very satisfied with it.
When we returned to the office, there were plenty of fresh juices and snacks prepared for us. During the ride back to the hotel, we had a Japanese driver and assistant who engaged us in various conversations, making the 30-minute travel time feel much shorter.
娘の高校の卒業旅行で行ったハワイで、セスナの操縦体験をさせました。
当日は快晴で、絶好の飛行日和。ピックアップ場所は、事前のやり取りで、宿泊していたヒルトン・ハワイアン・ビレッジ・ビーチリゾート・ホテルのメインロビーは混雑するからと、空いていて、ベンチもあるカリアタワーの車寄せを指定してくれました。これが当たりで、メインロビーは、すごい混雑で、ピックアップ担当者と出会えるか分からないほどでした。
ホテルから30分ほどで、空港に隣接する事務所に到着します。簡単な操縦方法などの説明を受けたら、パイロットやセスナとご対面です。
セスナで、ハワイ上空に飛び立つと、ワイキキのホテル群が一望できます。
ダイヤモンドヘッドのあたりで、操縦を娘に代わります。セスナから見ると、ダイヤモンドヘッドがカルデラであることが、よく分かります。
また、陸から離れると、眼下には青く綺麗な海が広がり、クジラも確認できました。
しばらく飛ぶと、ジュラシック・パークのロケ現場を飛びます。上空から見ると、本当にTREXがいそうな雰囲気でした。
パイロットとの会話は英語ですが、笑顔で積極的に話しかけてくれて、緊張をほぐしてくれました。
60分の素敵な時間は、あっという間でしたが、感動的な時間でした。娘も大変満足していました。
事務所に帰ると、新鮮なジュースとお菓子がたくさん用意されていました。
ホテルへの送迎の車内も、日本人のドライバーとアシスタントが乗車していて、いろいろな話しで盛り上がり、移動時間の30分を感じさせません。

My husband and I really enjoyed the Sunset Snorkel Cruise! The views were beautiful and the crew were so nice! I was nervous about trying to snorkel but the crew was super helpful and I felt safe (life vest and I was able to use a floatie as well) and we saw lots of colorful fish and sea turtles! The cocktail service was great, tasty and generous. Unfortunately during the return portion of the cruise, I felt a bit seasick (did not really affect my enjoyment of the cruise though) so only ate rice for dinner but my husband enjoyed the food which was plentiful. If you are prone to motion sickness (which I am) that would be my only advice, I forgot my accupressure wristbands which do actually work fairly well. I liked that the group was small and we had the freedom to move around and sit and stand where we wanted and all the guests were pleasant and we felt comfortable socializing and getting to talk to other people. I highly recommend this cruise!

It was the best experience!!! First, we received a warm welcome from the friendly owner, Kaz, who provided us with an explanation about piloting (in Japanese, of course, and very easy to understand◎). After that, the pilot who would fly with us explained today's route and highlights using a model map of Oahu. He spoke in clear English, and if we didn't understand, the staff member nearby was always ready to interpret◎
Communication among passengers in the sky was done through headphones and a microphone. It was exciting to hear the pilot's communication with the control tower through the headphones! Once we entered stable airspace, I got to hold the control stick and actually pilot the plane, and I also experienced turning left and right over the ocean. We signed up for a plan to circle Oahu together, and I felt that landing at a local airport, Kalaeloa Airport, to switch seats was a unique experience that you can't have elsewhere (the departure and return were from Honolulu Airport).
I love the "Jurassic Park" movie series, and this time I was able to see Kualoa Ranch, the filming location, from above, which truly filled my heart with joy.
The team at Lani Lea Sky Tours was incredibly kind (when we returned, there was a snack party prepared, and we could eat as much as we wanted✨, plus we enjoyed some juice together), the view from the sky was amazing, and I never imagined I would get to hold the control stick of a plane in my lifetime, so it was an exhilarating and satisfying experience✨✨
Thank you so much❤️❤️❤️
最高の経験でした!!!まず、ホテルまでの送迎もしてくださる気さくなオーナーのカズさんから、操縦についての説明をしていただき(もちろん日本語・わかりやすい◎)、その後実際に私達と飛んでくださるパイロットから今日の航路や見所について、オアフ島の地図模型を用いて説明がありました。こちらはわかりやすい英語で話してくれますが、わからなければ側にいてくれる事務の方が随時通訳もしてくれます◎
空の上での同乗者間のコミュニュケーションは、ヘッドフォンとマイクで行います。パイロットと管制塔とのやりとりも、ヘッドフォンで聞くことができて刺激的です!安定した空域に入ったら操縦桿を握って実際に操縦させてもらい、海上では左右への旋回も体験させてもらいました️また、今回はふたりでオアフ島を一周するプランに申し込んだのですが、席替えをするために、途中でカラエロア空港というローカルな空港に降り立てたのも他ではできない経験だなと感じました(行き帰りはホノルル空港)
私は映画「ジュラシック・パーク」シリーズが大好きなのですが、今回はそのロケ地となったクアロアランチも上空から見ることができて、本当に胸がいっぱいになりました
Lani Lea Sky Toursの皆さんは本当に親切だし(帰ったらお菓子パーティーの用意がされていて、好きなだけ食べてね〜というスタイルでした✨また、一緒にジュースもいただけます)、空からの眺めは最高だし、この人生で自分が飛行機の操縦桿を握ることがあるとは思ってもみなかったので、大興奮&大満足な体験でした️✨✨

It was my first time riding in a Cessna, and while I expected it to be bumpier than a commercial airplane, it was even more turbulent than I imagined. If you're prone to motion sickness, it's best to take some medication beforehand. The flight was scheduled for 10 AM, but we had to wait for a while due to the clouds. Therefore, it's better not to schedule anything right after the flight so you can relax while waiting. Although it was a shared flight, we couldn't enjoy the scenery to the east and west due to the clouds and wind, so we ended up flying back and forth over one side. However, since I prioritized the experience over the scenery, it wasn't a problem for me. I was also moved to see a rainbow from above.
セスナに乗るのは初めてで、旅客機と違って揺れることは想像していたが、こんなにも揺れるのかと想像以上だった。酔いやすい人は酔い止めを飲んでおいた方がいい。朝10時からのフライトだったが、雲の影響でしばらく待たされた。なので、フライトのあとの予定は極力入れない方がリラックスして待てる。交代してのフライトだったが、雲と風の影響で、東西の景色は楽しめず、片方のみを2往復する形のフライトとなったが、景色より経験を重視だったので特に問題なかった。虹を上から眺めることもできて感動した。

Not only did we get to see dolphins jumping around having a blast, but the sunshine was out!! It was a great day.

I went with a 9-year-old girl. I was surprised by the number of impressive slides, but none of them were too scary; in fact, they felt quite nice, and the child rode them repeatedly. Since it was the off-season, there was hardly any waiting time, which was great. They were closing one slide next to another and opening the other, so there were some we couldn't ride, but they switched them around over time, so we were able to experience most of the attractions during our day there. We added a free drink option, but it was cold, and there were only carbonated drinks available, so we only consumed the water we brought with us; we didn't really need the free drink. Since we had a light appetite, it was cheaper not to include meals. In February, even wearing a rash guard, it was cold when the wind blew on our wet bodies. It was nice to have some warmth when the sun was out. I thought it was a bit odd to come all the way to Hawaii to play with artificial attractions, but I heard the child would enjoy it, and I ended up having a great time as well.
9歳の女の子と2人で行きました。結構迫力のあるスライダーが多くて、驚きましたが、どれもそれほど怖くなく、むしろ気持ちが良くて、子供は何回も繰り返し乗っていました。オフシーズンだったのでほとんど待ち時間がなかったのも良かったです。隣り合うスライダーを一つをクローズして片方をオープンする、ようにしていたので、乗れないものもありましたが、時間が経つと逆になっているので、1日滞在しているうちにはほとんどの施設を経験可能でした。フリードリンクを付けましたが、寒かったことと、飲み物は炭酸飲料くらいしかなかったので持参した水のみしか消費せず、フリードリンクはなくても良かったです。食事も少食なので付けていない方が安くすみました。2月はラッシュガードを着ても、濡れた体に風が吹くと寒かったです。日差しがあるとあたたかくて助かりました。
わざわざハワイに来て人工的なもので遊ぶのもなー、と思いつつ子供が喜ぶと聞いて来たのですが、大人も十分に楽しめました。
Dear Hanon,
Thank you very much for your valuable feedback. I think this year is a bit cooler compared to last year.
We look forward to your next visit.
Mahalo,
Aloha Hanon 様、
大変貴重なご意見を頂きありがとうございました。今年は前の年から比べると少し温度が低いかと思います。
是非又のお越しをお待ち申し上げます。
Mahalo,

One ride was not open. The lady that greeted us was awesome and our concierge…gave her a 20 tip …we stayed primarily in the wave pool. Wasn’t really clean but clean enough to get in. Food was okay and the rides were very short.. lots of walking up steps to get to them. You had to carry the tubes up the steps which were very heavy cause I guess we’re weaklings . A residence…young teen carried it up like a champ. Was fun nonetheless but spent so much on that waterpark as much as universals studios almost but no where close to as many rides at all!
Aloha Fleecyfrese,
Thank you for your valuable comments.

We had a great time on our helicopter tour! Our pilot was great. The scenery was beautiful! I had never been on a helicopter before and worried a bit about motion sickness, which I have an issue with sometimes. This was an extremely stable feeling ride! And our flight was a doors off flight. Zero problems with motion sickness here! The staff was pleasant and helpful. The pilot was capable and fun! Thanks for a great trip! I would highly recommend.
P.S. The instructions ahead of time say to bring a lanyard for your phone and your glasses, so I ordered both off of amazon. When you arrive, the staff had phone lanyards available and said that the headphones that you wear will hold your glasses/sunglasses on.
Aloha Gwen! We are so happy to hear that you enjoyed your tour with our pilot and staff. They certainly work hard to make this a memorable experience for all of our guests. Mahalo for choosing Paradise Helicopters!

I asked the driver about the QR code for the VIP booklet, but he didn't have it. I was told that it could be obtained at the information center in Waikele. It didn't seem like he had forgotten it.
In the end, I obtained it myself at the information center. It took about 10 minutes as a time loss.
Therefore, I think it would be good to implement the following measures in the future.
↓
Necessary Information
【How to Obtain the Waikele VIP Booklet】
Please obtain the QR code from the driver when boarding the bus. The driver has a laminated version of the QR code, which you will need to scan.
VIPブックレットのQRコードについて、ドライバーさんに聞いたところ持っておらず、ワイケレのinformationで入手できると言われました。忘れてきた様子でもなかったです。
結局自分でinformationで入手しました。時間ロスにして10分程度でした。
ですので、以下の記載についての今後の対策をされた方がよろしいかと思います。
↓
必要事項
【ワイケレVIPブックレット入手方法】
バス乗車の際に運転手よりQRコードを入手してください。運転手がQRコードをラミネート加工されたものを持参しておりますので、そちらをスキャンしていただく形となります。

Due to bad weather, the flight was postponed once and rescheduled for the next morning. Thank you very much. The Japanese staff were very kind. Although the instructor couldn't speak Japanese, they actively communicated with us.
The aircraft I boarded was a 172P, and the pre-flight inspection and taxiing took about 15 minutes, with the actual flight lasting 31 minutes and taxiing after landing taking about 10 minutes.
During the 31-minute flight, there was about 10 minutes of hands-on flying experience. Even when I wasn't holding the controls, the instructor explained various things, which was very educational.
One personal disappointment was that although it was a "60-minute plan," the actual flight time was only about 30 minutes. I was a bit disappointed as I was expecting a full 60-minute flight.
悪天候により一度延期になり、次の日の朝に調整していただきました。ありがとうございます。
日本人スタッフの皆さんはとても優しかったです。インストラクターの方は日本語はできませんが、とても積極的にコミュニケーションをとってくれます。
私が搭乗した機材は172Pで、
離陸前点検とタキシングに15分、実飛行が31分、着陸後のタキシングに10分程度でした。
31分の飛行のうち、10分程度の操縦体験ができます。
操縦桿を握っていない時にもインストラクターさんがいろんなことについて説明してくれるのでとても勉強になりました。
個人的に残念だったところとしては、「60分プラン」なのに実飛行時間は30分程度しかありません。
60分の飛行を期待していたので少しがっかりでした。

Enjoying the wave pool!
- After arriving by bus
It was a bit unsettling to find no one there, but when we went near the entrance, a Japanese staff member was there to assist us. They helped us enter and even guided us to where we could rent lockers.
- Wave pool
My child (11 years old) seemed to have the most fun here. There are also floaties available. There are thrilling rides, but my child ended up crying, so please be cautious. It might be a little scary for kids at first, but once they get used to it, it's no problem! Some of the thrill rides require you to take off your glasses, so those who wear glasses should be careful. I put mine in my pocket.
- Lunch
We added lunch to the tour, but I thought it was a bit insufficient. It might be better to plan on purchasing your own food.
波のプールでエンジョイ!
・バスで到着後
誰もいなくて、ちょっと不安になりますが、入り口付近に行くと、日本人スタッフの方がいらっしゃり、一緒に入場してくださり、ロッカーを借りるところまで、お世話をしていただけました。
・波のプール
子ども(11歳)は、ここが一番楽しかったようです。浮き輪も置いてあります。
絶叫系のものありあすが、子どもは泣いてしまったので、注意して下さい。
子どもには、最初ちょっと怖いかも。慣れてしまえば問題ないです!
絶叫系はメガネは外さないとだめなのもあるので、メガネの人は注意して
下さい。私はポケットにいれました。
・お昼
ツアーにお昼を付けましたが、ちょっと足りないかと思います。自分で購入できるので、そのつもりの方が良いかと思います。
