I participated with my middle school child, but all the participants were foreigners (I couldn't understand the explanations at all). Although the atmosphere was adult-oriented since alcohol was served, we were able to relax and spend a long time enjoying light snacks, which made for a wonderful memory on our last night. I'm glad I participated.

中学生の子供と参加しましたが、全員外国人の参加でした（解説も全く聞き取れませんでした）。お酒を飲めることから大人の雰囲気ではありましたが、軽食を食べながら長い時間、ゆったりと過ごすことが出来、最後の夜の素敵な思い出になりました。参加して良かったです。

I was expecting the sandbar to be on the beach, but the water level was higher than I thought. However, the water was clear. The staff were very friendly and took photos for us.

We were able to see manta rays and sea turtles, which was amazing.

The hamburger for lunch was delicious.

The snorkeling wasn't great at first because the water clarity wasn't very good, making it hard to find fish, but by the time I got used to it, I was able to see plenty of tropical fish.

After snorkeling, there were warm drinks available, and I enjoyed some cocoa.

Above all, the staff were fantastic, and I had a great time. Thank you!

サンドバーは砂浜の上に立てるのを期待していたが思っていたより水位があった。でも水は綺麗だった。スタッフの人もいろいろと声をかけてくれて写真も撮ってくれた。
マンタも海亀も見ることが出来て最高。

ランチのハンバーガーが美味しかった。

シュノーケリングは海の透明度があまり良くなく最初は魚を探すのが大変だったけれど、慣れた頃には熱帯魚をいっぱい見られました。

シュノーケリング終了後は温かい飲み物の用意が有りココアでほっこり。

なんといってもスタッフの皆様が最高でとても楽しめました。ありがとうございました。

During my long-awaited trip to Hawaii, I wanted to try snorkeling at Hanauma Bay even as a solo traveler in my 60s, so I signed up for a tour. As many have shared in their experiences, Chieko and Dan's hospitality was wonderful. They efficiently and kindly taught us how to put on the wetsuits and how to use the equipment and fins, making it easy for beginners to enjoy. I was worried about whether I could keep up at my age, but Chieko frequently checked in with me, asking, "Are you okay?" while guiding me along. I was thrilled to swim alongside sea turtles for quite a long time. I also got to meet a sleeping seal.

Thank you so much, Chieko and Dan. Please continue this tour for everyone and stay healthy!

久しぶりのハワイで、60代の一人旅でもハナウマ湾のシュノーケリングに挑戦したくて、ツアーに申し込みました。体験談で皆さんが書いていますが、ちえこさんとダンさんのホスピタリティが素晴らしく、ウエットスーツの着方から用具・フィンの付け方などテキパキと丁寧に教えていただき、初心者でも安心して楽しめました。高齢の私がついていけるか心配でしたが、ちえこさんが、時々「大丈夫？」と確認しながら手を引いて誘導してくださいました。ウミガメとかなり長い間一緒に泳げて感激しました。寝ているあざらし君にも会えました。
ちえこさん、ダンさん、ほんとにありがとうございました。これからもどうぞお元気で、皆さんのためにこのツアーを続けてくださいね。

I was a bit delayed due to road conditions, but the female driver was very pleasant. She helped me when I almost got off at the wrong stop. She was a skilled driver and even helped with my luggage.

道路事情で少し遅れましたが、感じのいい女性ドライバーさんで、降りる場所を間違えそうになったら、ちゃんと教えてくれて助かりました。
運転も上手で、荷物も下ろしてくれました。

I'm not good with heights, but since my family wanted to do it, I thought it would be nice to view Diamond Head from the sky, so I did my best to participate.

It was scary at the highest point, but the view from above was amazing.

高い所が苦手ですが、家族がやりたいと言うので空からダイヤモンドヘッドを眺めるの良いかなと思って頑張って参加しました。

1番高いところでは怖かったですが、空から眺める景色は最高でした。

This was my first time using the service. It was much cheaper and more convenient than taking a taxi for a solo trip, with less waiting time. The car was spacious and I was comfortably taken to my hotel. I will use it again if I have the opportunity.

今回初めての利用
1人旅にはタクシーよりも安く待ち時間も少なく大変ん便利に利用できました。
車内も広く快適にホテルまで送っていただきました。
又機会がありましたら利用します。

This half-day Sandbar excursion was awesome. The entire crew was TOP-NOTCH. They made sure everyone had a good understanding of the Do's & Don'ts, with a great emphasis on safety. The provided meal was very good, and to our surprise the live entertainment was perfect for the cruise. The package included numerous activities, which included snorkeling, kayaking, sup's and much more. Great experience for a great price. THANKS TO ALL...

The driver was friendly, and although it was mentioned that he couldn't speak Japanese, it seemed his wife was Japanese, so he could speak a little. It was cool in the early morning, and I was able to climb at my own pace. On the way back, he kindly provided bottled water, which tasted very good. When I arrived at the hotel, I made it in time for breakfast, so that was great. I did well at 56 years old!

ドライバーさんも気さくな方で日本語は出来ないと書いてあったけど奥様が日本人だったようで片言ですが良かったです。
早朝で涼しく、自分のペースで登る事が出来ました。帰りにはペットボトルをサービスして下さりとても美味しく感じました。
ホテルに着いたら朝食の時間に間に合い食べる事もできたので良かったです。56才よく頑張りました

I got a seat in the center of the front row, and after waiting about a day, it was confirmed. It was very easy. The performance right in front of me was indeed impressive. If I can go again next time, I would like to make a reservation again.

最前列の中央の席を取ってもらい一日くらい待って確定しました。とても簡単でした
目の前での演技はやっぱり迫力がありますね
次回も行けたらまた予約したいと思います

I'm really glad I participated in this tour! That day, there was one Japanese participant and it was my first time in Kailua, but the female Japanese staff member kindly taught us everything from beach safety tips to how to enjoy the area, as well as how to rent and use equipment, making it easy for us to relax and fully enjoy the tour! Thank you very much! Kailua Beach and Lanikai Beach were both much clearer than Waikiki and absolutely beautiful; swimming there was a lot of fun! There were also bike rentals available, which made exploring the town convenient.

このツアーに参加して本当に良かったです！
その日は日本人1人参加&初カイルアでしたが、女性日本人のスタッフの方が最初から最後までビーチでの注意点や周辺の楽しみ方、レンタルの方法や使い方をとても丁寧に教えてくださり、リラックスしてツアーを満喫出来ました！ありがとうございました！
カイルアビーチもラニカイビーチもワイキキより透明度も高く最高に綺麗で泳ぐのもとても楽しかったです♪自転車レンタルもあり、街散策も便利でしたー

Every time I go to Hawaii, I sign up for parasailing here!
What a lucky thing it was that this time there were no other passengers, and the service was outstanding in a private setting!
We even shared personal stories, and I got some recommendations for Hawaii.
They might be my number one acquaintance in Hawaii (laughs).
Also, it seems like it was the first day for a young crew member this time, and there were three of them. I'm looking forward to seeing the growth of the younger staff. On the other hand, I'm a bit worried about whether the usual crew will retire...
See you!

ハワイに行くたびに、こちらのパラセーリングを申し込みます！
何とラッキーなことに、今回は他の同乗者が無く、プライベートでサービス満点でした！
身の上話までして、ハワイのオススメを教えてもらいました。
ハワイで1番の知り合いかも（笑）
あと、今回は若いクルーの初日だったみたいで、３人体制でした。若手の成長も楽しみです。逆に、いつものクルーが引退しないか気になりますが…
またね！

This battleship was actually used until about 30 years ago. You can see photos of the actual attack sites of the Japanese kamikaze, as well as images of the water burials conducted by American soldiers, and the surrender documents of Japan from World War II. Additionally, free Japanese tours can be booked on the ship on the day of your visit.

約30年前まで実際に使われていた戦艦です。
実際の日本のカミカゼの攻撃跡や、敵であるアメリカ兵による水葬の様子の写真、第二次世界大戦での日本の降伏文書も見られます。
また、無料の日本語ツアーも当日船上で申し込み可能です。

I participated in the buggy driving experience at Kualoa Ranch. It was a very spacious ranch, and driving on the slightly tight mountain roads, curves, bumpy paths, and slopes was a lot of fun. The scenery was beautiful, with views of the ocean and mountains. It was also great to take commemorative photos at the filming points of Jurassic Park. The guide was cheerful and friendly, which made the experience even better.

クアロアランチのバギー運転体験に参加しました。
とても広い牧場で、ちょっとタイトな山道やカーブ、でこぼこ道や坂など運転するのに楽しかったです。
景色も海や山が見えてとても綺麗でした。
またジュラシックパークの撮影ポイントで記念撮影ができていい記念になりました。
ガイドさんが陽気でフレンドリーで良かったです。

The singing and hula dancing by the host, as well as the fire show, were all authentic, impressive, and wonderful! The food was delicious as well.

The show ended just in time for the fireworks, making for a fun night.

Next time, I would like to bring my children along.

司会の方の歌やフラダンス、ファイヤーショーもみんな本格的で迫力があり素敵でした！
またお食事もみんな美味しかったです。

花火の時間に丁度間に合うようにショーが終わり楽しい夜でした。

また次回は子供を連れて参加したいです。

The meeting place was a bit hard to find, but there was an image of the vehicle, so I found it right away. The service was on time, making the start of the trip comfortable! The driver spoke only English, but he was kind and it was great.

集合場所が少しわかりづらかったですが、車両の画像があるので、すぐに見つかりました。定刻通りの運行で旅のスタートを快適にさせてくれました！英語のドライバーさんだけど、親切で良かったです。

I appreciate the timely operation. I accidentally forgot to give a tip to the driver. I haven't been using cash much lately, so I truly apologize for that.

定刻通りの運営に感謝してます。運転手さんにチップを渡すのをうっかり失念してしまいました。現金を使う機会が減っていたので、本当に申し訳なかったです。

All the performances were enjoyable and moving. The sense of unity with the audience was simply the best. The venue is cozy, so I think every seat offers an impressive view.

全ての演目が楽しかったですし、感動しました。観客との一体感がとにかく最高でした。会場はこじんまりとしているので、どの席から見ても圧巻だと思います。

I was confused about where to show the voucher. I received instructions to exchange it for tickets for the number of people at the green ticket counter on the second floor. That was the only issue I had. The sense of unity between the stage and the audience made the 80 minutes fly by. I felt the essence of Hawaii and was satisfied.

バウチャーをどこで見せるか戸惑う。2階の緑のチケットカウンターで人数分のチケットと引換るよう説明を受ける。困ったのはそれくらい。
ステージと客席の一体感もあって80分あっという間でした。ハワイらしさを感じられて満足しました。

After getting off the shuttle bus, they explained the precautions in Japanese and gave us the reservation ticket. Everything else was in English. We entered the waiver agreement through the QR code on the reservation ticket beforehand. We arrived exactly at check-in time at the designated reception (if you arrive early, you will be turned away). It seemed that eight buggies were grouped together, and the check-in times were strictly divided. After showing our driver's license, the driver received a wristband. We were given a helmet, goggles, and something like a neck warmer to protect against dust while watching a video on how to drive and safety precautions. Among the eight groups, we were the only Japanese. They gathered everyone to explain various things, but sadly, I understood very little. I think it would have been more enjoyable if I understood English better. I felt like I was just following along by instinct.

The scenery was wonderful, and the buggies were fun, and it wasn't as dangerous as I expected, so it was good. However, there were too many things I didn't understand, so I give it four stars. I don't expect full Japanese support, but I would have appreciated something like an explanation sheet for tourist spots. I really felt my lack of English skills... I couldn't shake off the feeling of being out of place (crying).

送迎バスを降りると事前の注意事項を日本語で説明してくれ、予約票もらう。あとは全て英語のみ。予約票のQRコードから免責事項に対する同意書を先に入力しておく。チェックインの時間ちょうどに所定の受付へ。（早めに行ったら追い返される）。8台のバギーが1組になっており細かくチェックイン時間が区切られている様子。免許証を見せ運転者はリストバンド装着される。ヘルメット、ゴーグル、ホコリよけのネックウォーマーみたいなのを渡され準備しながら運転方法や注意事項の動画を見る。8組のうち日本人は私達だけ。皆を集めていろいろ説明してくれるが、悲しい事にほとんど分からず。英語が分かればもっと楽しかったと思う。感覚でついて行った感じ。
景色は素晴らしいし、バギーも楽しいし思ったより危なく無かったので良かったけれど、分からない事が多すぎたので星4。日本語対応まで求めないが観光スポットの説明用紙などあれば嬉しいなと思いました。自分の英語力の無さを痛感…アウェイ感が否めませんでした（泣）。

The show was wonderfully structured, and even though they were impersonators, it was truly impressive for an American business. The flow of the tempo was good, and at the end, the performers were easy to talk to and took photos with us, creating great memories. If I had to mention a downside, the buffet-style meal didn't meet my expectations, and there were very few Japanese guests who went back for seconds.

素晴らしいショウの構成で，そっくりさんと言えど流石にアメリカの商ビジネスですね。テンポの流れも良く最後に出演者との歓談や写真撮影も気軽に応じてくれて良い想い出が作れました。難をいうならブッフェスタイルの食事の内容が期待していた程では無くて日本人の人達は殆どお代わりする人は少なかったです。

Last time, I went on a location tour, so this time I tried horseback riding. Since it was my first time, I was nervous about falling off, but it was at a slow walking pace, so I was fine. Even so, there was no boredom as we went up and down hills and mountain paths, and it was enjoyable. I thought two hours would be long, but as we rode around the vast ranch, it flew by. The guide occasionally took photos with a smartphone, which made for great memories. I would love to experience it again.

前回、ロケ地巡りをしたので、今回は乗馬にしてみました。初めてなので落馬しないか緊張しましたが、ゆっくり歩く程度の早さだったので大丈夫でした。それでも、坂道や山道を登ったり下りたりする際は揺れるので退屈さはなく、楽しかったです。２時間は長いかと思いましたが、広大な牧場内を回っていると、あっという間でした。引率される方が時々スマホで写真を撮ってくれましたので記念にもなりました。また、体験してみたいです。

I don't know if it was a different tour, but the location tour was different from what I expected.

What was great was its grandeur‼️
I would also like a Japanese explanation.

違ったツアーだったのかは、わからないけど
ロケ地ツアーは、思ってたのとは、違った

壮大だつたのは、良かった‼️
日本語の説明も欲しいです。

It was my first cruise experience. I was worried about seasickness, but the duration was short, and it was not a problem at all. The sandbar was a bit shallow due to timing, but I enjoyed snorkeling and turtle watching. The staff's hospitality was great, and the BBQ hamburgers on board were especially delicious. Thank you very much.

初めてのクルーズ体験でした。船酔いを心配していましたが、時間も短く全く問題ありませんでした。サンドバーはタイミングもあるので、浅瀬という感じでしたが、シュノーケルやウミガメウオッチなど楽しめました。スタッフさんたちのもてなしも感じが良く、中でも船上BBQハンバーガーはとても美味しかったです。有難うございました。

Awesome way to experience much of what Kualoa Ranch has to offer in 3 hours! Would love to spend the whole day, but this is a great way to get a taste of history, culture and adventure.
Easy tracks to travel and drive on. The group setting sizes were great and the guides were awesome. (knowledgeable, funny and informative)
Good amount of driving and plenty of stops along the way.
I can't fault this adventure (maybe some water stops along the way as a small improvement). We went on a perfect day. It was hot but not while you drive and when you stop, you can find shelter when you need it.
Thoroughly recommend and I would do it again with a group of friends

The guide was great. The weather was good (the skies were clear after a little morning rain). The UTVs were a lot of fun. Loading and unloading was faster than I thought. Very easy to take the photos that we wanted.

The lobster for dinner was thick and tasted just like Japanese crab, it was truly delicious! The final jazz live performance was also moving. It was a great experience to overlook Waikiki and see the fireworks, I'm glad I participated!

ディナーのロブスターが肉厚で味が日本のカニのようで本当に美味しかったです！
最後のジャズライブにもじーんとしました。
ワイキキを一望して花火が見られたのもいい経験で、参加してよかったです！

We couldn't make a reservation for Hanauma Bay, and we wanted to snorkel with a group of 13. I thought we would bring our own fins and shoes, but instead, we had to leave our shoes in a basket outside the boat and go in barefoot. We were able to borrow fins and goggles. My mother waited on the boat. In August during Obon, the sun was strong and there was no place to hide, so I think it's good to have towels or something. The wind was strong enough to blow away hats. We were the only Japanese people there, and everything was in English, so we struggled a bit, but a kind female staff member helped us in Japanese using her smartphone. I didn't realize that drinks were free after snorkeling, so the person who was informed was able to drink. There was a menu, and they made beautiful cocktails for us.

ハナウマ湾の予約が取れず、シュノーケルやりたいと13人で予約。フィンとか靴は持っていくものだと思ったら、逆に船の外のカゴに靴は置いて行って裸足で入らなきゃいけませんでした。フィンやゴーグルは借りられました。母は船の上で待ってました。8月のお盆は、日差しが強く隠れるとこがなかったのでタオルとかあると良いと思います。帽子は飛ばされるような風です。日本人は私達だけで、全部英語だったので苦労しましたが，優しい女性スタッフがスマホで日本語で教えてくれました。シュノーケル後は一杯無料ということが分からなかったので教えてもらった人は飲めました。メニューもあって綺麗なカクテルを作ってもらっていました。

Fishing on a boat was my first experience, and it was incredibly fun!
In the clear waters of Oahu, I was able to interact with many fish.
From the boat, I had a wonderful view of the streets of Waikiki and Diamond Head.
I caught two fish, but some skilled anglers caught 6 to 7.
Unfortunately, there were no dolphins, but on the way back, I encountered a sea turtle!
I think it depends on the weather, but the boat sways quite a bit, so those who are sensitive should definitely take motion sickness medication.

船での釣りは初めての体験でしたが、最高に楽しかったです！
オアフ島の透き通った海の中で、沢山の魚と触れあうことができました。
また、船上からはワイキキの街並みとダイヤモンドヘッドを一望することができ、とても素敵でした。
私の釣果は2匹でしたが、上手な方は6〜7匹釣れていました。
残念ながらイルカはいませんでしたが、帰り際にウミガメと遭遇しました！
天候によるとは思いますが、船はかなり揺れますので、弱い方は酔い止め必須だと思います。

Overall, the evaluation is high.
There are staff at the reception who speak Japanese, and even if you go with just a swimsuit, everything you need is provided by the school.
Before the lesson, they explain through a video, and before entering the sea, they use actual boards to teach you how to ride the waves, so I think even beginners can enjoy it.
Although it was a bit tough for me, who lacks stamina, as I was sometimes rushed by the instructor while resting, surfing while looking at the beautiful streets of Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head was the best!

全体的に総合評価は高いです。
受付には日本語が話せるスタッフがいて、水着のみで手ぶらで行っても必要なものは全てスクール側で用意してくれます。
レッスン前に動画説明、海に入る前にも実際のボードを使用して波の乗り方をレクチャーしてくれるので初心者でも楽しめると思います。
疲れて休んでいても講師に急かされたりして体力のない自分には少しきつかったですが、ワイキキビーチの綺麗な街並みやダイヤモンドヘッドを見ながらのサーフィンは最高でした！

Four groups board the motorboat at the same time and take turns flying. While waiting on the boat, you endure the rocking and enjoy the view. During the parasailing, it's an otherworldly experience! The view is great and the wind is nice. However, depending on your physical condition, you might feel dizzy even during the aerial stroll.

4組同時にモーターボートに乗船して順番に飛びます。船で待っている間は船ね揺れに耐え見学です。バラセーリング中は異次元体験です❗️眺めよし風よしです。が、体調によっては空中散歩でも酔うみたいです。
