All Reviews for Family & Accessible Travel

Since our group is the only one in the car from a convoy of six vehicles, we could enjoy ourselves without any reservations! It was a fun time exploring the filming locations while driving through the majestic Kualoa! The dust was intense, so if you don't wear the goggles provided, it gets in your eyes, haha. After the two-hour tour, if you don't clean off the dust, your face ends up completely black, haha. But it was really fun, and I want to go again! Next time, maybe horseback riding or cycling!?

1グループ6台の車列で1台に乗るのは自分たちのグループだけなので気兼ねなく楽しめる！
雄大なクアロアを走りながら、映画撮影したロケ地などを巡って楽しい時間でした！
砂埃はすごいので、渡されたゴーグルをつけないと目に入っていたいですｗ
2時間ほどのツアーで終わった後は綺麗に砂埃おとっさないと顔が真っ黒ですｗ
でも、ほんと楽しくてまたいきたいです！今度は乗馬か、サイクリングか！？　

We participated in a tour starting at noon with our family of four. We took a shuttle bus to Kualoa Ranch, and upon arrival, there was an explanation in English. After that, a staff member who spoke Japanese provided explanations for Japanese guests, and we received a different voucher from the one we had at the time of booking. When it was time, we showed our voucher, got equipped with helmets, watched a driving instruction video in Japanese, and then boarded the buggies.

We couldn't drive freely; instead, we followed a few buggies led by a guide, traveling at a maximum speed of 20 kilometers per hour. Occasionally, we were gestured to close the gap between vehicles. There were several stops where we could get off the buggies for explanations and photo opportunities. However, all the explanations were in English, so I could only understand bits and pieces. I thought it would have been better if I had known more about Kualoa's geography and history in advance.

We skipped the area that seemed to have been used for filming Jurassic Park. If you want to get off and take photos in such places, I think the Jurassic Park tour would be better. My father, who wasn't used to driving on the left side, tended to veer to the right, which was a bit nerve-wracking. But he seemed to get used to it after a while.

Driving the buggy was pleasant and fun, but we ended up covered in dust. Our clothes, bags, and shoes were all dusty. I recommend wearing clothes and carrying bags that you don't mind getting dirty, and either leaving them in a locker or putting them in a plastic bag. After getting off the buggy, I was shocked when I looked in the mirror at the handwashing station. There was sand in the gap between my helmet and goggles, creating a line of dust on my eyebrows and forehead, making for a funny look. You won't feel refreshed unless you wash your face thoroughly.

I wouldn't recommend going out right after the buggy tour. We took a shower, changed clothes, and went out to eat. After finishing the buggy ride around 2 PM, I planned to eat at Kualoa, but by that time, the hot dogs and other food were sold out. Since I was hungry, I only had ice cream. I wonder if the morning tours are better. I also considered the horseback riding tour, so I would like to try that next time.

家族4人で12時からのツアーに参加しました。
シャトルバスでクアロア牧場までいき、着いたら英語での説明でしたが、その後日本人用に日本語の話せすスタッフの方から説明があり、予約時のバウチャーとは別のバウチャーが渡されました。時間がきたらバウチャーをみせて、メットなどを装備してもらい、日本人用の運転の説明動画を見て、バギーに乗り込みました。好き勝手に走れるわけでなく、ガイドの方が運転する先頭のバギーに何台か連なり最高速度20キロで走行。たまに車間を狭めろとジェスチャーが。何箇所かバギーを降りて説明と写真の時間があります。
しかし、全て英語での説明なので断片的にしかわからず。事前にもっとクアロアの地のこと、歴史などを知っていれば良かったかなと思いました。
最後の方のジュラシックパークの撮影で使ったようなものがいっぱいあるところはスルーでした。
そういうところで降りて写真をとったりしたいならジュラシックパークのツアーのがよいかと思います。
左ハンドルに慣れていない父は右側に寄りがちで
少しひやっと。でもしばらくしたら慣れたようです。
バギーでの走行は気持ちよく、楽しかったです。
ただ全身砂埃まみれになります。
洋服、バッグ、靴まで砂まみれ。ホントに汚れてもよい服装、バッグはロッカーに預けるか、ビニールとかに入れることをおすすめします。
バギーを降りて、手洗い場で鏡を見てびっくり。
顔のメットとゴーグルの隙間に砂が。
眉毛とおでこに砂埃のラインができ、
おもしろ顔に仕上がってました。
顔丸洗いしないとさっぱりしません。
バギーのツアーのあと、そのまま出かけるのはおすすめできないです。シャワー浴びて服を着替えてご飯を食べに出かけました。
2時過ぎバギーが終わってから、クアロアでご飯を食べるつもりでしたが、その時間ではホットドッグなどの食べ物にSOLDOUTの表示が。
お腹が空いていたので、アイスだけ食べました。
午前中とかのツアーのが良かったのでしょうかね。
乗馬のツアーも迷ったので次回は乗馬でまわってみたいです。

The only other ways to get to this beautiful gem is to rent a kayak and row your way here (appx 45mins each way, with no wind) or with another tour boat company. In Hawaii, the only way to a private boat is if you know someone who owns a boat, or if you are military (where you can rent the boat, but in Honolulu area).
I always enjoyed the going out to Kaneohe Bay with OSA.

I was very excited about this adventure and can say it was my absolute favorite excursion on our 2wk vacation. My family also agrees.
The ride out to the sandbar was so lovely and relaxing with the live music. All of the staff was so friendly and check in and boarding went smoothly. The views from the sandbar were spectacular! We spent our time snorkeling, paddleboarding and soaking in the views. The live music playing from the boat really set the aloha mood. We would definitely book this excursion again!

At the entrance, there was someone who spoke Japanese and provided various explanations. Although the price included the paid bodyboarding attraction that I had researched before participating, it was closed. The staff at the entrance also said, "Please participate, it's really fun," but it was closed. I wondered why. I felt like I wanted a discount for that. (Especially since my child was looking forward to it.) Other than that, it was the same as the last time I participated; perhaps because it was a weekday, they opened the neighboring attractions in order.

入口には日本語が話せる方がいて、色々と説明して頂けました。
参加前に調べて頂いたボディーボードの有料アトラクション込みの料金なのにクローズでした。
入口のスタッフの方も、是非たのしいので参加してみてください。と言っていたのに　クローズ。なぜ？と思いました。
なら、その分の値段を引いてもらいたいなぁと思ってしまうぐらいでした。
（子供が楽しみにしていたので余計）
それ以外は、以前も参加した時と同じ様に平日の為か隣同士のアトラクションを順番で開けていました。

My 20-year-old daughter is shy and dislikes the ocean, so she was adamant about not wanting to try snorkeling. The entire crew encouraged her, saying they would help her along, but she still refused. However, the way they maintained a respectful distance was really nice. They told us that it was okay not to go and that we didn't have to force ourselves, which made us feel like we didn't miss out. In the end, despite her initial reluctance, my daughter had a great time and created wonderful memories. They also took some really beautiful photos.

娘20歳はシャイで海が嫌いなのですが、シュノーケル体験は頑なにしたくないと。
クルーの方全員が、引っ張ってあげるから行こうと誘ってくださいました。それでも拒否、でも無理矢理でない距離感がすごく良かったです。
行かなかった私達に行けなくて、無理しなくてよかったね。と声をかけてくれて、損をした感じがしなかったです。
結果、娘はあんなに嫌がっていたのにとても楽かったと、よい思い出が作れました。
写真もすごく素敵に撮ってくれました。

This was a great way to spend our afternoon. The water sports offered were so fun! This was hands down the best snorkeling experience I’ve ever had. The reef and fish were beautiful. The crew was helpful and energetic.I felt so comfortable during this entire excursion! To top it all off, the live performers were OUTSTANDING. It was the perfect way to ride out into the beautiful Hawaiian waters. Loved loved loved this!

I thought the show would take place by the lagoon pool, but it turned out to be an interactive experience in the lagoon itself. It seems like something that wouldn't be possible in Japan due to safety and hygiene concerns, haha. The life jackets are excellent and keep you upright, floating up to your chest.

When you stretch your arms out in front of you, the dolphins swim by and you can automatically pet them from head to tail. Not everyone may get this, but the instructor explained everything in perfect Japanese (maybe of Japanese descent? A local person), which was really helpful. In addition to the instructor, a Japanese person was in charge of guiding us from the meeting point to the lagoon and providing various instructions, which made me feel very secure.

For the dolphin photo op, they take two pictures: one as part of the package and another as an additional option. You can see it from the spectator seats at the lagoon, so if you have family members who aren't participating, they can take photos of the experience.

ショーをやるラグーンの横のプールで実施するのかと思ったら、まさかのラグーンに入っての触れ合いでした。日本だと安全面・衛生面で叶わなそうですｗ ライフジャケットは優秀で、直立で胸まで浮きます。
腕を前に伸ばして待つと、イルカが前を泳いで行って自動的に頭から尾まで撫でられるスタイルです。
全員ではないかもしれませんが、インストラクターが完全な日本語(日系？現地の方)で説明してくれて助かりました。インストラクターの他に、集合場所からラグーンまでの案内や諸注意を日本人が担当してくれたので、とても安心しました。
イルカとの２ショットは、既定の写真と追加オプション購入の写真の2枚を撮ってくれます。ラグーンの観客席から見えるので、参加しない家族がいれば様子を撮影できます。

I participated with my daughter. While on the boat heading out, we were told we were too light, which made us anxious, but another mom who was with us agreed to jump together, so we were able to experience it safely. That mom was able to jump twice, once with her family and once with us, so we are very grateful for her help, but I don't think we did anything wrong, haha. If you're told you're too light, I think it's okay to ask someone else on board, "Could someone jump with me?"

We flew high right away, and it was fun without any scary shaking. The flight time was satisfying.

The meeting point is at the JTB HiBus bus stop. After getting off at Discovery Bay, head towards the sea, and once you reach the water, turn left towards the Hilton Lagoon.

Whether or not to take photos will be confirmed when you jump. For iPhone users, you can use AirDrop, and for Android users, it was $40 to purchase the SD card. Card payments are accepted.

母娘で参加しました。沖に向かうボート内で、二人は軽すぎて駄目だと言われて焦りましたが、乗り合わせた他のママが一緒に飛んでくれることになって、無事に体験できました。そのママも自分の家族とうちの回とで2回飛べたので、こちらとしては名乗り上げてくれて大感謝ですが、悪いことをしたわけでもないと思いますｗ 軽すぎて駄目と言われたら、乗り合わせた人に「誰か一緒に飛んでください」とお願いしてもいいと思います。
すぐに高く飛び、特に揺れるような怖さもなく楽しかったです。飛行時間は満足できました。
集合場所は、JTBのHiBusのバス停 ディスカバリー・ベイで降りたら、海に向かい、海に着いたら左に曲がったヒルトン・ラグーンの前あたりです。
写真撮影するかどうかは飛ぶ時に確認されます。iPhoneだとAirDrop渡し、AndroidだとSDカードごと購入で40ドルでした。カード払いOK。

We participated with three middle and high school students and my spouse. Although it was a long two hours, the scenery was beautiful, and the horses were very smart, making it an enjoyable experience. Once you start riding, it's non-stop for two hours. Make sure to use the restroom beforehand. Also, if you're not comfortable with hard seats, you might experience pain in your buttocks or the tops of your legs towards the end. I also felt some discomfort in my rear during the latter part. My wife and two children rated it as the best activity of our trip. The guide hardly spoke any Japanese, but I think if you watch the Japanese explanation video beforehand, it shouldn't be a problem for those who don't understand English regarding horseback riding. Additionally, only waist bags are allowed while riding. Other types of bags should be stored in nearby paid coin lockers or left at the reception desk (we had to leave ours at the reception due to a locker malfunction, so it's best to avoid bringing valuables).

There is an English sign at the dismounting area that says, "If you enjoyed and are satisfied, please consider tipping." I think a tip of around 15% is generally expected.

中高生3人と夫婦で参加。2時間という長時間ですが景色も良く、お馬さん達も大変賢く楽しむ事ができました。一度乗馬すれば2時間ノンストップです。トイレはしっかりと事前に済ませましょう。また、硬い椅子が苦手な方は後半お尻や足の付け根が痛くなります。当方も後半お尻が痛くなりました。妻と子供2人からは旅行中のアクティビティとしては最高評価でした。ガイドさんはほぼ日本語は通じませんが、事前の日本語説明ビデオを見れば英語が分からない方でも乗馬に関しては問題ないと思われます。また、乗馬の際にはウエストバックのみ着用可能です。他の形状のバック類は近くの有料のコインロッカーか、受付フロントに預けましょう（私たちはロッカー故障で仕方なく受付預かりにしました、極力貴重品は持って行かない方がいいです）。
「楽しめて満足できたらチップをよろしくね」と馬から降りる場所に英字の看板があります。原則15％～程度ののチップは必要かと思います。

I enjoyed every aspect of this excursion, from the moment i was picked up from the pick up spot in Waikiki, to the excursion itself, and to the return back to Waikiki. The banana tubing and regular tubing was a lot of fun, i do find myself as a snorkeling junkie, so I mostly snorkeled the entire time. I saw some amazing fish in the reef. I felt very safe all day. My friend did the kayaking and SUPing and enjoyed their time. The musicians were amazing. I would like to thank everyone for such a great experience.

I attended with children. We were looking forward to the lazy river, but it was closed all day. Including the transportation, it felt really expensive.

子供連れで参加しました。
流れるプール目当てだったのに、一日中クローズ。
送迎まで入れるとめちゃくちゃ高く感じました。

It was amazing to race through the off-road trails with views of the mountains and the sea in the vast nature! I took a lot of photos and I'm soaking in the memories! There were only English-speaking staff, but they were very kind and accommodating! Since dust will cover your whole body, I recommend going with clothes and gear prepared for that, haha. If anyone is going to Hawaii, I definitely recommend experiencing this at least once! Thank you for the fun time! ^_^

広大な大自然の中、山と海がみえるオフロードを駆け抜けるのは最高でした！！
写真をたくさん撮って思い出に浸ってます！！
英語のスタッフだけでしたが、親切に対応してくださいました！！
砂ぼこりが全身に降りかかるので、それを覚悟した服装、持ち物で行くのがおすすめです笑
ハワイに行く人がいたなら、一度は体験することを必ずお勧めしようと思います！！
楽しい時間をありがとうございました^_^

The crew was so kind, and I'm grateful! I want to go on such a fun tour again!

The sandbar was beautiful, and I was able to encounter sea turtles, so I had a meaningful time!

クルーの人優しすぎて感謝してます！
こんな楽しいツアーはまた行きたいです！

サンドバー綺麗で、ウミガメにも出会えて有意義な時間過ごせました！

It was my first time participating, and it exceeded my expectations! My wife is very pleased and wants to join again next year. We were the only Japanese couple, but a foreigner in front of us spoke to us and took our picture with their phone. Thanks to them, we have a great memento. The sunset from the boat was the best memory.

初めての参加でしたが期待通り、期待以上かな！ワイフは来年もまた参加したいとご満悦ですね。日本人は我々夫婦だけでしたが目の前にいた外人さんが声を掛けてくれて携帯で我々を撮ってくれました。お陰様で良い記念になりました。船上からのサンセットは最高の記念です。

Participated with 2 adults and 2 teens. We chose all included package with banana boat and bumper boat for the teens. They enjoyed the rides very much! Snorkeling was amazing, the area was shallow with reef areas. The water was so clear, we could see many fish easily. Tried kayak and SUP and both were so fun even for us as beginners. Music was amazing, staff was super kind and welcoming. If we had more days, we wanted to do it again!

There are similar tours available but this is the best tour by far! We chose the morning tour. Donuts (2-3 different types), orange juice and water were provided in a boat while going to Sandbar. Probably it took about 10-15 minutes to get there. 2 staff played live music and sang variety of songs. It was beautiful and they are great singers! In the boat, there are a few bathrooms for women and I believe one bathroom for men. Life vest is available for everyone. You can bring your own beverage including alcohol. You can do some water activities or relax in the boat. Snorkeling gear is available for free, kayak and SUP are also available though you may need to wait for your turn if they are occupied. Just being in the water (we went there at high tide and the water was close to my neck and I’m 5’4”) was relaxing since the water was so warm and clear. If you have small children, you may want to choose low tide timing unless your kids are comfortable with deeper water. There was no wave (very gentle water movement). I strongly recommend this tour to everyone. This tour provides something for everyone to have fun!

This was our 2nd time. We did this tour last summer and it was so good that we came back again this summer! We’re 2 adults and 2 teens. Just like last year, this tour was the best highlight of our Hawaii trip. Tour staff are super friendly and funny and play/sing beautiful live music. We did kayak, teens did banana boat and bumpy boat. Snorkeling was awesome. The water is so clear that we could see sea creatures so close and clearly. Snorkeling gear was provided. It was so much fun and relaxing seeing the amazing ocean views. I wish the tour was longer! Felt like it ended too soon, I know that’s because we had a wonderful time. We will definitely do this tour again when we go back to Hawaii. Thank you for offering this amazing tour at reasonable price. We could make unforgettable family memories. Mahalo!!

Thank you for the hospitality & helping our fam out on the bay! From lifeguarding while we snorkeled to helping with the SUP’s! We were surprised at the attentiveness of the staff! Definitely suggest packing snacks & BYOB! The donuts going out was not enough… as my kids were hungry after all activities.Boat had changing stalls & bathrooms… and live entertainment! Defitnitely recommend adding the banana boat/bumper tubes! Was so worth our experience!

The personalities of the two were wonderful, and the pleasant sea breeze and beer were the best! Just before reaching Diamond Head, it started to rain and got cold, so we had to turn back unexpectedly, but since the weather is beyond our control, it doesn't affect my evaluation at all. If you're worried, it might be a good idea to bring a sports towel or a hooded rash guard.

More than that, the view of the ocean from the boat, the changing colors of the sea as we went further out, the flying fish jumping around, the blue sky, and above all, the fun atmosphere on the boat made for an incredibly enjoyable experience for both my daughter and me. It truly became a great memory. I think the cost-performance is also very good. I highly recommend it!

お二人の人柄も、気持ちの良い海風とビール、最高でした！ダイヤモンドヘッドに着く手前で雨が降り出して寒く、急遽引き返してやり過ごすことになりましたが、天気はどうしようもないので、全く評価の対象外です。心配な方は、スポーツタオルやフード付きのラッシュガードのようなものを持参されるとよいかもしれません。
それより船から見る沖の景色や沖に出る程に変わる海の色、周りで飛び跳ねる飛び魚、青い空、何より船上の楽しい雰囲気で娘も私も最高に楽しく本当に良い思い出になりました。コスパもとても良いと思います。お勧めです！

Despite the arrival being significantly delayed, they responded immediately on the spot. I was also very grateful that they changed the drop-off location to my preferred spot right there.

到着がかなり遅れたにも関わらず、その場ですぐに対応してくださいました。また、下ろしてもらう場所もその場で希望の場所に変更して下さりとてもありがたかったです。

Hanauma Bay, which has a reservation system and entry restrictions, was a great experience. To ensure we could enter, we asked a guide for assistance this time. With transportation included, we were able to complete our activities in the morning, allowing us to schedule other plans for the afternoon, which is a big plus. Since snorkeling in an unfamiliar sea can be concerning due to currents, having an experienced guide made it easy to focus solely on watching the fish. The guide is also fluent in Japanese, so everyone can feel at ease. They took photos during our snorkeling session, which they later uploaded to Facebook for us.

予約制で入場制限も出来たハナウマ湾。確実に入場できるように今回はガイドさんにお願いしました。送迎付きで無駄なくアクティビティの時間も午前中で完了しますので、半日は別の予定を入れる事ができるのも大きな魅力です。知らない海でのシュノーケリングですので、個人で行くと潮流等が不安ですが、慣れたガイドさんが居るので安心して魚を見る事だけに集中する事ができました。ガイドさんは日本語も堪能ですので皆さん安心できると思います。
シュノーケリング中に写真を撮ってくれて、後日facebookにアップして貰えますよ。

Captain Amy and her crew made our day!

One of the highlights of our trip. We brought our very adventurous 2 and a half year old out with us to swim with turtles and the crew were amazing and supportive!

Thank you ladies for making our day. ❤️

Family of four, including one, four-year-old and one two year-old. First time for the kids on a boat and we had a blast. The staff is extremely friendly, courteous, and personable. They made sure my kids were safe and comfortable. The time frames were very appropriate, the staff kept everyone engaged and entertained. Some staff shout outs for Brandon, Jeremy Natalie, Faith, the guy holding the mike (sorry I forgot his name!!) . And yes we saw TONS of dolphins.

I’m in my forties, but I was able to surf both enjoyably and rigorously.

I participated alone, and I was the only Japanese person there. During my time, there was no support in Japanese at all. That said, there isn’t much difficult English, so I don’t think a high level of English is necessary. However, if you can’t speak any English at all or feel anxious about it, I think it would be safer to go with another company.

There was one instructor for two of us. The other person was a large Western man, but he dropped out early and went home, so it was essentially a one-on-one experience.

The instructor was strict. It might not be suitable for those who prefer a slow, hands-on, and gentle teaching style, but I think it’s great for those who want to dive right in and go for it! I had a lot of fun trying multiple times.

However, you will get quite sunburned! Lying face down on the surfboard waiting for waves left my calves and the back of my thighs bright red, almost like a mild burn. I regretted not wearing my long pants rash guard that I had with me. You really do get burned. That’s the only thing to watch out for.

Also, if you are prone to motion sickness, I think it’s better to take some anti-nausea medication. I heard someone say they felt sick.

アラフォーですが、楽しく、厳しくサーフィンできました。

一人で参加したのですが、日本人は私一人でした。
私の時は日本語のサポートは一切ありませんでした。
とはいえ難しい英語はあまりないのでそこまで英語力は必要ないと思います。しかし、英語が全くできない、不安がある方は別の会社が安心だと思います。

二人に先生が一人付いてくれました。もう一人の人は欧米人の大きい男性だったのですが、早々に脱落し帰ってしまったので実質マンツーマンでした。

先生はスパルタでした。ゆっくり手取り足取り丁寧に教えてほしい人には不向きかもしれませんが、折角なのでガンガンやりたい！という人には向いてると思います。私は何度もトライできて楽しかったです。

ただ、かなり日焼けします！
サーフボードにうつぶせになって波を待つのでふくらはぎと裏の太ももが真っ赤になり、軽いやけどのようになりました。長ズボンのラッシュガードを持っていたので履けばよかったと後悔しました。
本当に焼けます。これだけが注意です。

あと酔いやすい方は酔い止めを飲んだほうがいいと思います。
酔ったと言っている人がいました。

At Kualoa Ranch, there are tours available by buggy, bus, and bicycle, but exploring the vast landscape on horseback is truly exceptional. You can take photos with your phone using one hand, as long as you keep your left hand on the reins, but it's a good idea to prepare something to hang around your neck for added security. Additionally, large backpacks and hats will need to be stored in coin lockers that allow for multiple entries. Regarding horseback riding abroad, there are Japanese-language explanations provided in advance, and the horses are familiar with the tour routes, so I think beginners will be just fine. (This may not be limited to this experience, but in general, for beginner horseback riding, it doesn't feel like you are controlling the horse.)

クアロア牧場自体は、バギー、バス、自転車で回るツアーもありますが、広大な風景を馬で回るのは格別です。携帯での写真撮影は左手を離さないことを条件に片手での撮影可能ですが、首から下げるものを準備などしておくと安心です。なお、大きなリュック、帽子などは、何度も出し入れ可能なコインロッカーに入れる事になります。海外での乗馬と言う事に関しては、日本語の事前解説も準備されており、更に、馬さんは、見学ルートに慣れているので初心者でも大丈夫だと思います。（これに限ったことではないと思いますが、初心者向け乗馬全般的に、操作して馬を操っていると言う感覚ではない）

I challenged myself with my 3rd-grade daughter and my husband to a 150m adventure. The boat ride was fast and thrilling, and the parasailing took us up to a height close to the highest point, allowing us to enjoy a panoramic view of Waikiki. We really felt the essence of Hawaii.

When running through the city, there was ample safety support, and I felt comfortable enjoying it even with my child. They also took photos along the way, creating great memories. The staff had a cheerful atmosphere, which made me smile naturally. I would love to do it again!

街中を走る時、安全面で十分なフォローがあり、子供と一緒でも安心して楽しめました。途中で写真も撮ってくれて、いい思い出もできました。スタッフの方々も明るい雰囲気で、こちらも自然と笑顔になれます。またリピートしたいです！

I had been to Kailua before, but my wife wanted to visit a specific store, and we could also go to Whole Foods, plus we could snorkel at Lanikai, so I decided to join. We opted for bike rentals. Riding through the streets of Kailua on a bicycle felt very local and was great. I was able to take my time and enjoy the scenery that I would have missed if I were in a car. It was my first time snorkeling at Lanikai, and to my surprise, a sea turtle appeared right in front of me! I've seen sea turtles many times, but seeing one so close and in the water was an incredible experience. The only downside was the lack of shade; if you go, I recommend bringing a tent or an umbrella. Also, the snorkeling goggles weren't treated with anti-fog, so they fogged up quickly, and seawater kept getting in, so I would like to suggest improvements on that.

カイルアの街は初めてではなかったけど、妻が行きたい店があったし、ホールフーズにも行けるし、ラニカイでシュノーケルができるので参加しました。オプションはレンタサイクルにしました。カイルアの街を自転車で走るのは地元感があって良かった。車だと通り過ぎてしまう景色をゆっくりと見れました。初めてラニカイでシュノーケルをしましたが、なんとウミガメが目の前に！ウミガメは何度も見たことがありますが、こんな近くでそれも海の中で見れるなんて感度でした。ただ日陰がないのが残念、行く場合はテントかパラソルを持って行くのが良いかと。あとシュノーケルのメガネがくもりどめが塗ってないのかすぐに曇るのと、海水がすぐに入ってくるので改善をお願いしたい。

I was relieved to be greeted with a smile. In an unfamiliar place, I managed to have a good time despite my limited English. Thank you very much.

笑顔で対応され安堵しました。
知らない土地で、トボトボ英語だけど楽しくすごせました。
ありがとうございました。
