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！

**[Experience Review]**
I participated at the end of January, having seen reviews beforehand, and thought, "If I get to see it, that would be lucky☆". As the reviews said, I couldn't see it, but since it was raining until the boat departed, there was a rainbow throughout the tour. Once we got out to sea, there wasn't a single cloud in the sky, and we were able to see a very magical rainbow (and it was a double rainbow! Plus, it was huge!) against the blue sky and vast ocean. Personally, since I got to see the rainbow, I found it quite enjoyable (laughs).

**[What I Liked About This Tour]**
The breakfast was more delicious than I expected. There were bread, white rice, scrambled eggs, sausages, and more... I thought it was very Japanese-friendly with ketchup and soy sauce available.

**[Advice for Future Participants]**
I recommend boarding the boat as soon as possible after getting off the bus. The window seats are popular, so everyone was vying for them. They take your picture before boarding and come around to sell it during the trip. I don't remember the exact amount, but it seemed to be around $20 to $30. By the way, we prepared a tip before disembarking, but there was no tip box, and we didn't have a chance to meet the staff or captain when getting off, so there was no timing to give it.

【実際に体験した感想】
1月末に参加しましたが先に口コミを見ており
「見れたらラッキー☆」くらいで参加しました。
口コミ通り見ることは出来ませんでしたが
船の出発まで雨が降っていたこともありツアー中ずっと虹が出ており
沖まで行けば雲一つない快晴でしたので青い空と広大な海に
とても幻想的な虹（しかも２重！そしてデカい！）が見れました。
私的には虹が見れたので、まぁまぁ楽しかったです（笑）


【このツアーで気に入ったところ】
思っていた以上に朝食が美味しかったです。
パン・白ご飯・スクランブルエッグ・ソーセージなど・・・
ケチャップやしょうゆもあり日本人好みだな～と思いました。


【これから参加する人へのアドバイス】
バスから降りたあとはなるべく早めに乗船することをオススメします。
やはり窓際の席は人気があるためみなさん取り合いでした。
乗船前に写真を撮ってくださり乗船中に売りに来てくれます。
はっきりとした金額は覚えてませんが20ドル～30ドルくらいだったような。
ちなみに私たちはチップを用意して下船しましたが
チップを入れる箱もなく下船の際にスタッフやキャプテンとも
顔を合わせることがなかったため渡すタイミングがありませんでした。

During the first half of the cruise, I was able to see whales in the distance from the top deck, although they appeared small. While I was having lunch on the first floor, a whale suddenly appeared much closer. I've heard that whale watching can be a matter of luck, but I think we were definitely lucky that day. The scenery was breathtaking, and the buffet and cultural experiences were great as well.

クルーズ前半は最上階からクジラが遠くに小さくですが何度も見れました。そして一階でランチを食べていたら、突然クジラが大きく見えました。ホエールウォッチングは運不運があると聞きますが、その日はきっと運が良かったのだと思います。景色も最高の眺めでしたし、ビュッフェや文化体験も良かったです。

The weather was unfortunately cold during snorkeling, but the guide's exceptional attentiveness was impressive. Choosing the VIP boat made for a fun memory.

I definitely want to participate again next time.

シュノーケリング時はあいにくの天気で寒かったのですがガイドさんが最高の気配りで感動です、VIPの船 選択で楽しい思い出になりました

次回も必ず参加したいです

I participated last summer and had so much fun that I repeated it! This time I brought a GoPro, so I was able to take some great photos and videos, which I was very satisfied with! However, the boat sways a lot, so motion sickness medication is a must.

去年の夏に参加して、とても楽しかったのでリピートしました！
今回はgoproを持参したのでとてもいい写真や動画もとれて満足しました！
ただ、船がとても揺れるので酔い止め必須です。

I have experience with large ships, but at that time, I was crammed in so tightly that the distance between the table and my neighbor was too close, making it a very suffocating memory. However, this time it was very spacious. That was really nice, but unfortunately, the food just didn't suit my taste at all, and I think I would have been better off with just the appetizers.

大型船も経験ありますが、あのときはぎゅうぎゅう詰めに入れられてテーブルとの距離も隣との距離も近すぎてとても息苦しい思い出がありましたが、こちらはとてもゆったりとしていました。それは凄く良いのですが、いかんせん料理が全く口に合わず、アペタイザーのみで良かったと思います。

It was farther away than I had expected, but I'm glad I was able to see it safely. I felt like not being able to see the first half at all was part of the performance, though.

期待していたよりは遠距離からではありましたが、無事に見られてよかったです。前半全く見れなかったのは、演出のような気もしもしましたけど。

I participated in the backstage tour and VIP dinner course (front row table seats) with my parents in their 70s. Honestly, I thought it was quite expensive when I signed up, but I'm glad I participated.

Overall, my impression is that the level of the show was very high. The singing was powerful and enjoyable, and the performance quality was impressive. It was not just imitation; the content was quite authentic, and I was entertained until the end without getting bored. The hula dance level was also high and very impressive.

Additionally, the food was delicious! I had low expectations for the meal at a show, but it was very satisfying.

Perhaps because I signed up for this course, I had the best seats right in the center in front of the stage, allowing me to enjoy the show with great intensity. Since photos are also provided for free, I believe it was worth the price overall.

When I asked my parents what they enjoyed the most about this tour, both my father and mother mentioned this show. I enjoyed it myself, but what made me happiest was that my parents had a great time.

I have also participated in the Star of Honolulu dinner show, but I felt that both the quality of the show and the quality of the food were higher here.

I would like to participate again when I come to Hawaii. I think it's especially perfect for wrapping up the final day.

バックステージツアー＋VIPコースディナー(ステージ前テーブル席)に
70歳代の両親と一緒に参加しました、申込む時、正直高いな～と思いましたが
参加してよかったです。
全体的な感想として、まずショーのレベルがとても高かったです。
歌唱力が高く聴きごたえあり、パフォーマンス力も高かったです。
ものまねという域ではなく、かなり本格的な内容で最後まで飽きずに楽しめました。
フラダンスのレベルも高くて、とても見ごたえありました。
それと、食事がおいしかったです！
ショーの食事はあまり期待できないイメージですが、とても満足できる内容でした。

このコースで申込をしたからかステージ前ド真ん中の最高の席で
ド迫力でステージを楽しむことができました。
写真も無料でもらえるので、総合すると高い分だけの価値はあると思います。

両親に今回のツアーで何が一番良かったか聞くと
父も母もこのショーを挙げました。
私自身も楽しめましたが、両親が楽しんでくれたのが何よりうれしかったです。

スターオブホノルルのディナーショーにも参加したことがありますが
ショーの質、料理の質、どちらもこっちの方が高かったように感じます。

またハワイに来た時は参加したいと思います。
特に最終日の締めくくりに最適だと思います。

We signed up for the 110m jump with three adults. I was glad that we could all jump together instead of splitting into two and one. There was just one puzzling incident. After everything was done and we were being taken back to the hotel, for some reason, we went back to the original location even though we were close to the hotel. After that, we were properly taken to the hotel, but I have no idea what that was about since there was no explanation. Well, I guess that kind of thing happens when you're abroad. Overall, it was a good experience.

110ｍを大人3名で申し込みました。2人と1人に分かれてしまうのは嫌だったので、3人一緒に飛べて良かったです。ひとつだけ？な出来事が。すべて終わってホテルへ送ってもらう際、なぜかホテル近くまで行ったにも関わらず、元の場所へ引き返しました。その後しっかりホテルまで送ってもらいましたが、あれは何だったのか、説明もなかったのでわかりません。まあ海外なのでそういうこともある、ということでしょうか。全体的にはよかったです。

I arrived at the pickup location earlier than the scheduled time, but since it was just after 10 AM, it was extremely crowded. It was difficult to find our bus among the crowd. I think it would have been helpful if the staff had held a sign that said "Veltora," and it also took time to find the bus because it was parked a bit far away. Although I was told that the voucher was not needed, I was instructed to hand it to the staff member who came to pick us up.

The tour itself was very interesting, and I was thrilled when we spotted a whale. I was on the third deck of the boat, but the snacks were only available on the second deck, which was a hassle since I had to go down the stairs each time to get something. I think it would have been better if there were snack stations on both the upper and lower decks. I would have also liked some drinks other than water.

お迎え場所には時間より早く着いていたのですが、朝10時過ぎということもあり大変な混雑でした。その中から自分たちの乗るバスを見つけるというのは難しかったです。担当者がベルトラと書いた看板でも持っていてくれたら良かったと思いますし少し離れたところにバスが停まっていたせいもあり見つけるのに時間がかかりました。またバウチャーはいらないとの事でしたが迎えに来た担当者に渡すように言われました。
ツアー自体は大変おもしろくクジラが見えた瞬間には興奮しました。
船の中では3階にいたのですが、軽食が2階にしか置いてなくいちいち階段を降りて取りに行くのが面倒でした。上と下の２か所にあればよかったと思いました。水以外の飲み物も欲しかったです。

Seats were old and uncomfortable shuttle needs padding added to the seats, shuttle temperature was to hot by the time we were dropped off, driver was informative for those that had not been here

I participated with my child.
We had a great time riding the slide without any wait!
It's wonderful that a slide where waiting for an hour is common at Nagashima had no wait at all.
With transportation included, along with inner tubes and life jackets, it was very convenient.

子供と参加しました。
スライダーに待ち時間なしで、連続で乗れて楽しかったです！
ナガシマで1時間待ちは当たり前なスライダーが、全く待たなくて乗れるなんて素敵。
送迎付き、浮輪付き、ライフジャケットあり、楽でした。

Everything, including the tour, was in English. That was a bit of a downside, but the staff were very considerate, so it wasn't too much of a problem.

Anyway, I had a great time! The weather was nice, and the views were breathtaking; I was truly moved.

During the tour, there was an 85-year-old grandmother and a boy around 10 years old, and both were able to do the zip line, so I realized it's a sport that anyone can enjoy!

ツアーも含めてすべて英語です。それだけがちょっと難点だけど、スタッフの方々もかなり気を使ってくれてそこまで問題なく。
とにかく、とっても楽しかったです！
天気も良くて絶景で、本当に感動しました。
ツアー中に85歳のおばあさんと10歳くらいの少年がいて、どちらもジップライン出来てたので、誰でも楽しめスポーツなんだなと思いました！

The pickup was more than 30 minutes late. I understand that traffic conditions on the day can be unavoidable, but since you have my contact information registered, I would have appreciated a call. In the end, I only found out about the traffic jam after I called.

ピックアップ時刻を30分以上、遅れてのお迎えでした。当日の交通事情で止むを得ないことは分からなくもないですが、こちらの連絡先を登録している訳ですから、連絡を入れて欲しかったです。結局は、こちらから電話して初めて交通渋滞が発生したことがわかりました。

I got into the car from the hotel, still feeling like I wanted to play more. My luggage had increased, but it was safe to use. I definitely recommend it.

　まだ遊び足りない思いを抱えながらホテルから車に乗りました。
荷物も増えていましたが安心して利用可能です。是非お勧めします。

The weather wasn't great, but I had a wonderful time. It's about an hour from the hotel, and the boarding area is also a location from the Jurassic Park movie. I was satisfied to see sea turtles. Next time, I hope for a sunny day!

　天気が良くなかったけど、満喫できました。
ホテルから１hくらいの場所にあり、乗船場はジュラシックパークの映画の舞台にもなったところ。海亀もみれ満足でした。今度は天気のよい日に！

This is about my fifth time participating. Each time, the season, weather, temperature, and companions are different, so I have memories from each visit. This time, it was a trip with my two children. The weather wasn't very favorable, and we experienced a chilly sandbar, but the usual scenery welcomed us. I'll come again.

今回で都合5回目くらいの参加です。
毎回、季節、天候、気温そして同伴者が違うので毎回毎回の思い出があります。
今回は親子３人旅。
天候にちょっと恵まれず、肌寒い中でのサンドバーとなりましたが、
いつも通りの景色が私たちを迎えてくれました。
また、来ますね。

We had a wonderful evening aboard the Star of Honolulu! And although we chose the least expensive option -- the Casual Dinner Buffet, the service was excellent, as was the food. The staff was welcoming and attentive. The Polynesian performance added a touch of magic to the evening. The views of Waikiki and the sunset were spectacular. Overall, an enchanting evening which I highly recommend. I plan to cruise again with Star of Honolulu on my next trip!

I was unaware of the existence of Rock-a-Hula, and my preconceived notions of Hawaii were beautiful seas, mountains, abundant shopping, delicious food, and relaxing music. However, I never imagined there could be something so moving and enjoyable in Hawaii.

Since opportunities to visit Hawaii are rare, I chose the highest option in the VIP green room. The backstage tour is explained by the manager in English only, so if you can't at least understand the basics, you might miss out a bit.

The food, including lobster, meat, and dessert, was all delicious. Being in the VIP section meant we were in the front row, and the intensity of the show was breathtaking! I considered the cheaper tickets on the second floor, but I have no regrets at all. Being up front allowed the performers to come over for handshakes, and the service was great.

It seems that people line up about an hour in advance to get good seats on the second floor.

In addition to dancing, there was also a fire performance, which was very exciting. The performances were serious and impressive.

The songs played may change constantly, but if you watch the movie "Lilo & Stitch" and familiarize yourself with the music, I think you'll enjoy it even more. The songs from "Moana" were also great!

There were other famous songs as well, and the show itself is enjoyable even for those who are not good at English.

All the performers had wonderful smiles, and it's quite rare to find something that brings so much joy and emotion to people. Thank you for a fun and happy time! It will be a lifelong memory. Mahalo!

ロックアフラの存在を知らず、
ハワイといえば、きれいな海、山、たくさんあるショッピング、美味しフード、リラックスできる音楽、という思い込みがありました。
しかし、これほど感動し、ハワイを楽しめるものがあるなんて、想像していませんでした。

ハワイに行けるチャンスは滅多にないので、VIPのグリーンルームで1番高いものを選びました。
舞台裏の案内は支配人が英語onlyでの説明なので、最低限のヒアリングができないとちょっと勿体ないかもしれません。

食事は、ロブスター、お肉にデザートと、どれも美味しかったです。
VIPだと最前列でしたので、ショーの迫力は圧巻！2階の安いチケットと迷いましたが、後悔は一切ないです。
前にいると出演者が握手に来てくれたり、サービスも良いです。

2階はいい席をとるがためか、1時間ほど前から並んでいるようです。

ダンスだけではなく、ハワイらしくファイヤーパフォーマンスもあり、少しハラハラしました。本気の演技です。

演奏される曲は常に変わっていくかもしれませんが、映画のスティッチをみて曲をしっかり知っておくと、より楽しめると思います。
モアナの曲も良かったです！

その他、有名な曲もあり、ショー自体は英語が苦手な人でも楽しめる内容です。


出演者はみんな笑顔が素敵で、ここまで人に笑顔と感動を与えてくれるものは、なかなか珍しいです。
楽しく、幸せな時間を有難うございました！
一生の思い出です。
マハロ！

Basically, you go down two lines in pairs in order. With three guides, you walk and ski in a group of about ten people, repeating this several times. You can either leave your belongings in a paid locker at the entrance or use a free locker at the starting point where the bus takes you, and just carry your camera or phone onto the line. You can't bring drinks, but there are about two places along the way where you can drink water.

At first, you start with shorter runs for practice, gradually moving to longer ones and even skiing backward, allowing for various enjoyable experiences. Each line has a name derived from trees, and the related explanations are interesting (in English). Before skiing, you will be asked various questions, which I’ll list for reference:
- The names of two people
- Favorite drink
- Something to bet on if you win a game in pairs

Around the sixth line, after being asked about allergies, there is a section where each person holds one nut while skiing. There is a bucket placed in the middle of the line, and the game involves throwing the nuts into the bucket while skiing.

Also, since we went directly to the site without transportation, I initially didn’t understand the overall system of Kualoa Ranch very well. Basically, it goes like this:

- Check in at the main reception
Show your voucher and exchange it for activity tickets
- Arrive at the meeting place for each activity about 15 minutes before the start time and wait to be called by the staff
- When the time comes, follow the guide's instructions and move with the group

We had a reservation for a 12:00 start and checked in at 11:30, but since we arrived just in time, I called to confirm. The staff said that if we didn’t arrive by 11:30 to 11:35, it would be considered a cancellation. However, we arrived around 11:30, waited in line at the check-in counter, and checked in at 11:40, which was fine. However, it seemed that the 12:00 session was already closed, so we participated in the 12:30 session instead. Initially, I panicked when I didn’t see our names for the 12:00 session, but I was told that as long as you check in and get the activity ticket, you can definitely participate. Just keep in mind that if you arrive last minute, you might be moved to the next session.

基本的に、2本のラインをペアで順番に下りる流れです。
3名のガイドと共に、10名前後のグループで少し歩いて滑る、を何度かくりかえします。
荷物は、入り口の有料ロッカーに預けるか、バスで向かうスタート地点にも荷物入れの無料ロッカーに入れて、カメラやケータイのみ身につけてラインに乗ります。
飲み物は持てませんが、途中2箇所くらい水が飲める場所があります。

最初は練習を兼ねて短いものから、徐々に長いもの、後ろ向きで下りるものなど、それぞれ違った楽しみかたができます。各ラインには木々に由来した名前が付けられており、関連する説明も興味深いです。(英語ですが)
途中滑る前に色々聞かれるので、参考までに列挙すると
・二人の名前
・好きな飲み物
・ペアでゲーム※に勝ったら奢るもの(賭けるもの)

※6本目くらいで、アレルギーがないか聞かれた後、ナッツの実を１人１個手に持って滑る箇所があります。
ラインの中央付近にバケツが置いてあって、滑りながらバケツめがけてナッツを投げ入れるゲームです。

あと、送迎なしで直接現地に向かったので、クアロア牧場全体の全体的なシステムが最初良くわかりませんでした。基本的には、

・総合受付でチェックイン
バウチャーを見せて、アクティビティのチケットと交換してもらう
・開始時刻の15分くらい前までに、各アクティビティの集合場所にいって、係りの人に呼ばれるのを待つ
・時間になったらガイドの指示にしたがって、グループで移動

我々は12時スタートを予約してチェックインが11:30だったのですが、到着時間がギリギリだったので電話で確認しました。案内の人は11:30～11:35までに来ないとキャンセル扱いだと言っていましたが、実際11:30位に到着して、チェックインカウンターの行列に並んで、受付したのが11:40でしたが大丈夫でした。
ただ、12時の回はすでに締め切られていたのか、12:30の回の方での参加になりました。
当初12時の回に名前がなくて焦って確認しましたが、チェックイン済ませてアクティビティチケットさえゲットすれは確実に体験はできるとのことでした。ただスタート時間は、ギリギリに行くと次の回に回るようです。

I participated in a buffet dinner and show tour. The buffet features a whole roasted pig and impromptu hula lessons, which really adds to the excitement. The food isn't extraordinary, but it's definitely tasty enough. The show includes performances that evoke the spirit of Hawaii, fire dancing, and impersonators of Elvis and Michael, which are entertaining. The seats are in the center of the second floor, making it easy to see. I think experiencing a show like this at least once during your stay in Honolulu is a great way to feel the Hawaiian vibe!

ビュッフェディナーとショーのツアーに参加しました。
ビュッフェは豚丸ごとローストの登場やフラの即席レッスンなどもあり盛り上げてくれます。料理は絶賛するほどでもないですが十分美味しいです。
ショーはハワイを感じさせてくれるものやファイヤーダンスに加えてエルビスやマイケルのそっくりさんが楽しませてくれます。席も2階センターで観やすいです。ホノルル滞在中に1回くらいはこうしたショーでハワイ気分に触れるのも良いのではと思います！

It was a lovely afternoon on the boat where we saw and followed 2 pairs of whales-- one of which was a mama and a baby whale! The team was experienced and knowledgeable and also showed us other ocean wildlife while we were waiting for the whales to resurface. Excellent activity-- I would do again.

I arrived at the scheduled time, but I had to go through immigration procedures with a group of students in school uniforms who appeared to be on a school trip, which took some time. Even after quite a while, they greeted us warmly and efficiently guided us to the car. I would like to request this service again next time.

予定時刻に到着したのですが、修学旅行生と思われる学生服の団体と一緒になり入国手続に時間がかかりました。かなり時間が経過しても明るく出迎えてくれて、テキパキと車まで誘導してくれました。また、次回もお願いしたいです。

This time, I was a bit disappointed that I couldn't see the whales jumping from afar, but on the way to the whale watching spot, I encountered dolphins, which made me feel lucky. It was great that breakfast was included on the boat. The reservation through Veltra was the cheapest among the sites I checked.

今回はクジラが遠くジャンプも見れなかったので少しがっかりでしたがクジラスポットに向かう途中にイルカに遭遇し、得した気分でした。船内で朝食も付けれて良かったです。ベルトラからの予約が見たサイトの中では一番安かったです。

Since it was a personal arrangement, I was looking for a transfer from the airport to the hotel, and this was the cheapest option (free for children under 3), so I chose it. When I arrived at the airport, I quickly found the pickup area, but there were no Japanese staff, and although several buses came, I was anxious about when we would be called. It felt like there were hardly any Japanese people among the driver and the passengers. Given the low price, I guess this is to be expected. It might be tough if you can't speak any English.

個人手配だったので今回、空港からホテルの送迎を探してたらここが一番安かった（3歳以下無料）なのでこちらを選びました。
空港について乗り場はすぐわかったけど
日本人スタッフがおらず、バスが何台かくるも、いつになったら自分たちが呼ばれるのか不安でした。
ドライバーさんも、お客さんも日本人がほとんどいない感じでした。
お値段安い分こんなもんかなーて感じです。
英語が全く喋れないと大変かもです。

My child said they wanted to see whales, so we joined in. I was also looking forward to it since I had never seen them before. I felt reassured because it was mentioned that if we couldn't spot any whales, we would receive a free reboarding ticket.

There were about four announcements saying, "We see them now!" but most people missed the chance to see them. Although there were announcements, we didn't see any whales at all, so we couldn't reboard.

As for lunch, there wasn't much to eat, so I just snacked on potato chips. It's disappointing because encountering whales is also a matter of luck.

クジラを見たい！と子供が言うので一緒に参加しました。私も今までに
見た事がなかったので期待していました。
クジラの確認ができなかった場合は、再乗船できる無料乗船券を配布する
との記載もあるので安心していました。
「今、見えました！！」と４回ぐらいアナウンスがあったのですが
見るタイミングを逃した方がほとんどでした。
全く見えなかったけどアナウンスがあったので、再乗船は出来ません。。。
ランチはまともに食べれるものがなく、ポテトチップスをつまみました。
遭遇出来るかは運もありますが残念です。

I didn't know that the Heaven's Sea tour had to be booked in advance, and after regretting it for a few years, I finally went back for a revenge trip.

As a result, I had a really great time! I’ve always liked turtles, but even my wife, who isn’t a fan, was excited when she saw them. Turtles are so cute!

Since it was early February, it was a bit cold on the boat when it was cloudy, but the sun came out, so it was manageable. The water was honestly cold, but once you get used to it, you can tolerate it. They offered free wetsuit rentals.

I thought I could manage with just a regular hoodie, but since you wear a suit in the water and walk on the sand for about 30 minutes, marine shoes would be better. Some people got hurt on their feet.

At the sandbar, wearing a T-shirt is actually warmer, but for photos, swimsuits might look warmer and more picturesque.

The boat ride was slow, about 10 minutes, so personally, I didn't need motion sickness medication. However, it was a very windy day, so if you're unsure, it might be a good idea to have some. (They sell motion sickness medication and sandals at a reasonable price.)

I wish I had bought an underwater camera. I never expected turtles to come so close! Well, since they swim in shallow water, you can still take good photos from above the water.

Once you get out of the water, it’s cold, so having a larger bath towel would be good. The BBQ on the boat was quite delicious.

There were about three staff members, including the guide, and we were able to play beach volleyball together with others. That was a lot of fun!

They were very considerate of small children and the elderly, showing great hospitality. You can feel safe bringing your parents along.

There were also people doing other marine activities, and they offered free rentals.

Snorkeling is easy to practice, so even those who are not good at it can give it a try. Even if you don’t snorkel, you can see turtles at the sandbar, so it’s okay to take it easy.

Thank you to all the staff! Aloha!

天国の海はツアーでないといけないのを知らず、以前は悔しい思いをして数年、リベンジで行ってきました。

結果、行って本当に楽しかったです！
元から亀は好きでしたが、亀好きでない奥さんでも、見たときは興奮していました。
亀ってかわいいですね。

2月初旬なので、曇ったら船上は寒いのはありますが、太陽も出てきてなんとかなりました。
海の中は正直冷たく、慣れれば一応我慢はできるレベル。ウェットスーツの無料貸出もしていました。
普通のパーカーでなんとかなると思って軽く見てましたが、海中でも着れるスーツや、砂の上を30分ほど歩くので、マリンシューズがあればベターです。足に怪我する人もいたので。

サンドバーではTシャツを着てたほうが実際寒くないですが、写真では水着のほうが暖かそうで絵になるかも。

船はジェットでもなくゆっくりで、10分ほどなので、酔い止めは個人的には不要です。
風がかなり強い日で、自信がない人はあったほうがいいかも。
(酔い止めわサンダル等、有料でそこまで高くない価格で販売はしています)

水中カメラは買っておけばよかったです。あそこまで目の前に亀が来るなんて思ってもなかったので。まあ、浅瀬を泳いでるので、海の上からでもちゃんと撮れますが。

海から上がったら寒いので、大きめのバスタオルもあったほうが良いです。
船上のBBQも、なかなか美味しかったです。

ガイドさん含め3人ほどスタッフがいましたが、他の人たちも含め、一緒にビーチバレーできました。これがかなり楽しかったです！

小さいお子さんや老人への配慮もしっかりしていて、ホスピタリティーあります。親を連れてきても安心できますね。

他のマリンアクティビティーをしている人もおり、無料で貸し出ししていました。

シュノーケリングは無理なく練習できるので、苦手な人もいけると思います。シュノーケリングをしなくとも、サンドバー上で亀も見れますし、無理せずOK

スタッフのみなさん、有難うございました！
アローーーハー！

It was my first surfing experience, and a former professional surfer taught me carefully, so I was able to ride right away. It was so much fun that I requested another lesson the next day with a different instructor. The instructor on the second day also provided tips for further improvement, and I would like to take lessons again the next time I come to Hawaii.

初めてのサーフィン体験でしたが、元プロサーファーの方が丁寧に教えてくれ、すぐに乗ることができました。
あまりに楽しかったため、次の日もお願いし他の方にレッスンを受けました。次の日の方もさらに上達するポイントを教えてくださり、次にハワイに来るときにはまたレッスンを受けたいと思います。

The return to the airport was fine, as was the delivery to the hotel.
The service is very good. Will use again.
