I didn't pack the suitcase evenly and loaded it only on one side, so it ended up tipping over on the curves, which felt quite rough! I'm not sure if I want to take it down with the airline.

スーツケースを均等に積まず、片方だけに積むのでカーブでやはり倒れ乱暴な気になりました！下ろす航空会社事にしたいのか不明！

Finally, after watching the DVD, it was time to start horseback riding. It was very quick from putting on the helmet to the start of the tour, but strangely, I didn't feel scared at all. The ocean and mountains provided the best locations for photos! As expected from Kualoa Ranch! It was a bit cute to see the horse eating grass along the way and getting scolded by the guide.

This was my first time riding, and I went straight into a two-hour course, but since the horse walked slowly, my backside didn't hurt too much, and it didn't bother me the next day. The scenery was truly breathtaking. Surrounded by green mountains and feeling the wind from a high position was very pleasant, and the horse was well-behaved, so I felt safe riding.

Even as a beginner, I felt the horse was well-trained and smart because it responded quickly when I pulled on the reins. However, there were six of us on the tour, and the guide mostly talked to the experienced English-speaking rider at the back for most of the time. Since I chose horseback riding at Kualoa Ranch, I wanted everyone to learn about its history and qualities together.

My English isn't that great, but I can speak simple phrases, so I wish I could have enjoyed both riding and conversation a bit more during this wonderful opportunity. It might be part of the guide's job to keep an eye on the members from the back, but as someone who was at the front, I felt lonely without someone to share this amazing view with.

DVDを鑑賞するといよいよ乗馬開始。
ヘルメットをつけてからツアー開始まではとてもスピーディですが、不思議と怖さはなかったです。海、山、どれを撮っても最高のロケーション！さすがクアロアランチ！お馬さんが途中で草を食べてしまってガイドに怒られてる姿も少し可愛かったです。
今回、はじめての乗馬でいきなり２時間コースということでしたが、ゆっくり歩いてくれるのであまりお尻も痛くならず、次の日までは響きませんでした。何と言っても景色の良さに感激です。緑の山々に囲まれて、高い位置から風を感じるのはとても心地が良く、お利口さんなお馬さんだったので安心して乗っていられました。
初心者の私でも手綱を引っ張るとすぐに言うことを聞いてくれるのでよく躾けられていて賢いと感じました。
だだ、今回6人でツアーだったのですが、ガイドさんが後ろの方の英語が話せる乗馬経験者の方だけとツアー中ほとんどの時間を話していました。せっかくクアロアランチでの乗馬を選んだので、クアロアランチの歴史や良さについて全員で勉強したかったです。
英語はそこまでうまくありませんが、簡単なものであれば話せるので、せっかくの機会だったのでもう少し乗馬と会話の両方を楽しみたかったなと思います。
ガイドの方は後ろからメンバーを見ることも仕事のうちなので仕方ないのかもしれないですが、先頭を歩いていた私としては、この素晴らしい景色を共感できる相手がおらず寂しかったです。

The bus announcements are in Japanese.
The driver speaks only English, but there are no issues.

All six passengers were traveling alone.
Therefore, we stopped at six different hotels.

バスまでは、日本語で案内
ドライバーは英語のみですが、問題無し

Awesome show! Went to another luau a few years ago at the Polynesian Culture Ctr and was bored! But this show was 100% better and this show flows.

My wife and I had a great time at your show well worth the evening

I went to the big show in Hawaii at the Royal Hawaiian Center!
First of all, it's easily accessible since it's located in the Hawaiian Center.
This time, I experienced the show from a VIP seat, which allowed me to enjoy a close-up view, and I also indulged in a course dinner for a luxurious experience.
The show features a rock vibe from the past, including performances of songs by Michael Jackson, as well as some calming Hawaiian tunes.
It's not just the singing; the powerful dances are also a must-see.
The show lasts about an hour, and you will be captivated the entire time—satisfaction is guaranteed. If you're going to see it, I highly recommend the VIP seats! It's definitely entertaining!
I was truly satisfied with the content, which exceeded my expectations!
I want to see it again!

ロイヤルハワイアンセンター内にあるハワイのビックショーに行ってきました！
まずはハワイアンセンターにあるのでアクセスが良いです。
今回はVIP席でショーを見ることになったので、かなり近くからの席の経験ができたのと、コースディナーも満喫することでリッチな体験ができました。
ショーの内容は昔のロックなテイストで、マイケルジャクソンなどをみたり、ハワイらしい落ち着いたテイストの曲などもあります。
歌だけではなく迫力満点のダンスなどにも要注目です。
ショーは約1時間。この1時間は魅力されっぱなしで満足すること間違いなしです。せっかく見るならVIP席をオススメします！絶対に面白いです！
期待以上の内容で本当に満足でした！
また見たいです！

My first parasailing experience in Hawaii was refreshing and liberating, just as I expected, if not more! I had a really fun experience and was very satisfied! I don't know when I'll be able to go again, but I'm aiming for my next try!

初めてのハワイでのパラセイリングは、期待通りの、いいえそれ以上の爽快感と開放感じでした❕
本当に楽しい経験が出来て大満足でした❗
次いつ行けるか分かりませんが、next try を目指しますよー

I was torn between a traditional luau in the suburbs and this one, but I decided on the Rock-a-Hula show because it was within walking distance from the hotel and there was no need for bus transportation, plus the promotional price was tempting. I'm really glad I chose this one. First of all, the food was delicious! Unlike other dishes I've had in Hawaii, the seasoning was not too strong, just right, and although it was luxurious and plentiful, it wasn't greasy at all, so I finished it all quickly. There were also Japanese staff members in the hall who frequently checked in on us, which made me feel at ease. The content of the hula show was a great mix of traditional elements and some well-known songs from a bit earlier, so the time flew by without getting boring. The impersonators of Michael and Elvis were also very talented and entertaining. While some might say the show was short, I felt satisfied with the rich content. I hope to come back and see it again someday. Thank you very much! (´∀｀*)!!!

ぎりぎりまで郊外の伝統的なルアウかこちらかで迷いましたが、ホテルから徒歩圏内でバス移動がないことと、モニター価格につられてロック・ア・フラショーに決めましたが、こちらに決めて本当に良かったです。まず、お料理が美味しい！今までハワイでさんざん食べたほかのお料理と違って味付けが濃くなく丁度よく、豪華で量も多いのですが油っこくないのでぺろっと食べてしまいました。ホールには日本人らしき従業員もおられて、こまめに声掛けをしてくれるので安心して過ごすことができました。フラショーの内容も、伝統的なものに少し前の有名な曲等を織り交ぜて飽きさせることなくあっという間に時間が経ちました。マイケルやエルビスのそっくりさんも
とても上手く演じていて楽しめました。ショーが短いという意見もありますが、内容が濃いので満足出来ました。いつかまた機会があったら見にきたいと思います。ありがとうございました(´∀｀*)!!!

It was definitely one of our favorite adventures on our honeymoon.!!!

I think it's a great way to have fun in Hawaii! It has a refreshing and liberating feeling, and I thought I would like to do it again when I come back to Hawaii.

ハワイでの遊び方の１つとしてかなりいいと思います！
爽快感と開放感があり、またハワイに来た時にはやりたいなと思いました

I participated in the tour starting at 12:00. The snorkeling lasted about an hour. There were four sea turtles swimming, and I was able to see them up close when they surfaced for air. However, it was disappointing to see someone of Asian descent touching the sea turtles at that time. After that, we cruised for about an hour before returning.

12時からのツアーに参加しました。
シュノーケリングは大体1時間程度で行われました。ウミガメが4匹泳いでおり、息継ぎで浮上した際には間近で見る事が出来ました。ただ、その時にアジア系の人がウミガメに触れており、残念でした。そのあと1時間程度クルージングをして戻る流れです。

It was my first time at such a height, so I was a bit scared, but it was refreshing and I really enjoyed it. I could see all of Waikiki, and the view was beautiful. There was a forecast for thunderstorms, but there were also some clear skies, which was nice.

初めての高さだったので少し怖いかなと思っていましたが、爽快感がありとても楽しめました(^^)
ワイキキを一望できて、景色もキレイでした。
雷雨予報だったのですが、少し晴れ間もありよかったです☆

I wanted to swim with wild dolphins, so I participated. On the day of the event, there was a bit of a typhoon influence, and the sea was murky, but I got to see many dolphins and a mother turtle with her baby, which was incredibly fun! The staff were also enjoyable and kind! Thank you very much!

野生のイルカと一緒に泳ぎたいと思い、参加しました。
当日は少し台風の影響もあり、海が濁っていましたが、沢山のイルカと亀の親子にも会えて最高に楽しいかったです！
スタッフの皆さんも楽しくて、親切でした！
ありがとうございました！

Horseback riding was very enjoyable, and the staff at the ranch only spoke English but were very kind. The horses were very well-trained, and although I have a little riding experience, I think even beginners can ride comfortably.
However, the person who guided us...
They weren't a bad person, but they spoke unilaterally without checking in with us. It felt like they were progressing through the tour like a factory assembly line, just going through the motions. I intended to ask for lunch as well, but when was the order taken? At one point during the drive, lunch was mentioned, but they didn't take our order. The guide seemed to think that since there was no lunch order, everyone should take care of it themselves. As a result, everyone in the vehicle ended up getting lunch on their own.

乗馬はとても楽しく牧場の人も英語でしか話せませんでしたがとても親切でした。馬もとても慣れていて、私は乗馬経験が少しありますが、初心者でも安心して乗馬が出来ると思います。
ただ、観光を案内してくれる人が・・・
悪い人ではないのですが、一方的に話をして確認をとったりしない。工場での流れ作業の様に一人で淡々と進めていく感じでした。昼食もお願いするつもりでしたが、いつ注文？一度運転中に話をしている中で昼食についても話がでましたが、注文をとってくれませんでした。ガイドさんは昼食の注文がなかったので、各自でとって下さい。と注文をとったつもりでいた様でしたが、おかげで車中全員が各自で昼食をとりました。

After boarding, we quickly found dolphins and were able to swim with them. The dolphins swam around us several times without fear of humans, which was amazing. I was very satisfied to capture videos with an underwater camera.

After enjoying the dolphins, we went to another spot for snorkeling. The water there was murky, and we couldn't see many fish. There were a few fish around the coral, but they were few in number.

In addition to snorkeling, we could also play with inflatables, paddles, and kayaks, but for us, who were mainly focused on the dolphins, these were unnecessary. In fact, I wished we could have spent more time with the dolphins we found.

In conclusion, I thought that since Dolphin University is so active, perhaps activities other than dolphins are unnecessary. However, I was satisfied as we achieved our goal!

乗船後、イルカを探してすぐに見つかり、イルカと一緒に泳ぐことができました。イルカも人間を恐れて逃げるということ無く、私たちの周りを何度も泳いでました。水中カメラで動画も撮れてとても満足です。
イルカを堪能した後に別のポイントへ行きシュノーケルをしました。そちらは海水が濁っておりあまり魚もよく見えませんでした。珊瑚の周りにいくらか魚がいましたが少数でした。
シュノーケル以外にも、浮き輪やパドル、カヤックなどでも遊べましたが、イルカがメインの私たちには不要でした。むしろ、せっかく見つけたイルカともっと一緒にいられる時間が欲しかったです。
結論として、イルカ大学というアクティブなので、イルカ以外は不要なのでは？と思いましたが、目的は果たせたので満足です！

I first visited in November 2017 and returned again in October 2018. This time, things seemed different; it looked like the number of cast members had significantly decreased. Even after huffing and puffing up the stairs to the slide, I encountered closed signs (crying). This happened frequently, which made it hard to enjoy myself. The morning pickup was also about 30 minutes late, and I felt that the price for four and a half hours was a bit high. It was disappointing that the children's slide was closed as well.

Overall, it was disappointing.

2017年11月に初めて来て、今回2018年10月に再び訪れました。初回とは様子が変わっていて、キャストがかなり人数が減っているみたいで、スライダーの階段をはーはー言って登ってもクローズの看板(泣)そんな事がしばしばあって楽しめませんでした。朝のピックアップも30分程遅れてくるし、4時間半でこの値段は高いかな？と思う内容でした。子供用スライダーもクローズで残念でした。

全体的に残念でした。

I chose a private course because I wanted to canter, having some experience in horseback riding. However, due to the impact of a recent typhoon, I had to cross a small river to get to the area where the horses could run. The horses couldn't cross, so I thought, "No way!" and decided to get a refund. As a result, I ended up on the same course as the complete beginners. I would have appreciated a heads-up before the tour started, letting us know there would be areas where we couldn't run. Moreover, it was a hot day, and the female staff had a sour expression, which made the experience feel unpleasant.

乗馬の経験があるためキャンターをしたかったので、プライベートコースを選びました。ですが、少し前の台風の影響もあり、馬の走れるスペースに行くのには　、小さな川を渡らなければいけないと、、。馬には渡れないは、で
no way!でリファンンドするからいいわよね。で、まるきり体験コースの
方々と同じコースへ。ツアーが始まる前に、走れない箇所があるけど
どうしますか？ぐらいの連絡はいただきたかったですね。しかも、その日暑くてスタッフの女子は仏頂面で感じ悪かったです。

It was supposed to be a guided tour with a Japanese guide, but the bus guide only spoke Japanese for jokes and didn't inform us about when to get off or the order of disembarking, so I almost missed my stop. The boat staff were good, but unfortunately, the weather was bad and it was cold on the ground. It might be better to check the tide times before booking.

日本人ガイド付きとなっていましたが、バスのバスのガイドさんは冗談だけ日本語で帰りは途中で下車し、降りる順番とかも教えてくれなかったので危うく乗り過ごすところでした。船のスタッフさんは良かったですがあいにくの天気で地上は寒かったです。潮の時間を調べて申し込んだ方が良いかもです。

This is my second time using this service.
Since it was low tide, I was able to see the fish clearly and even encountered a sea turtle, which was lucky.
Thank you, Chieko and Dan!
I will participate again! o(^▽^)o

2度目の利用です
干潮だったので、お魚もハッキリ見れて、海ガメにも遭遇出来て、幸運でした。
チエコさん、ダンさん
ありがとうございました！
また参加させていただきますo(^▽^)o

I participated again this year. The view of Waikiki and Diamond Head was amazing, and I felt like a bird—it was so refreshing! I'm thinking about joining again next year!

去年に続き参加
ワイキキやダイヤモンドヘッドを見渡せて
鳥になった気分で超気持ち良かったです〜
また来年も参加しよっかなぁ〜

I love the ocean and swim with sharks in Hawaii was on my bucket list. To celebrate my 78th birthday, my daughter decided to take me on this amazing shark cage diving tour. What a great experience! We saw a lot of different species of sharks, they are amazing animals. The crew was really nice and made us feel safe during the entire process. Thank you HawaiiActivities.com for helping me during our booking process. This was the best birthday gift I could ask for!

Great trip got to see lots of turtles. The lunch was good and the staff (Mike, Jenner, Ken) were excellent- thank you.

It seems everyone was able to see it, but I couldn't. What a pity!

皆見れたようでしたが私はダメでした。残念！

Convenient lessons at a beach near Honolulu Zoo. There is also hotel pick-up, making it easy to participate. The staff are very friendly, and even complete beginners can quickly improve and have fun. The participation fee is also reasonable.

ホノルル動物園の近くの　便利なビーチでのレッスン。ホテルへの送迎もあり　手軽に参加できます。スタッフの皆さん　とてもフレンドリーで　全くの初心者でも　すぐに上達出来て楽しめます。参加費も　お手頃です。

The staff was kind and attentive. I got a bit seasick, but I was able to see sea turtles, and it was a lot of fun! 😊

親切、丁寧に対応して頂きました。
波酔いしてしまいましたが、ウミガメも見ることができてとても楽しかったです(^^)

The food was just okay, but the three-story ship was great! The first floor had dining, the second floor was a live music bar, and the third floor had a deck and bar, which made for a fulfilling experience! Above all, the sunset was beautiful to see!

料理はまぁまぁでしたが、3階建ての船で1階でご飯、2階が生演奏バー、3階はデッキ＆バーと充実して楽しめました！
とにかくサンセットが綺麗に見えて良かった！

It was sunny and very pleasant!!
I originally heard it would take about 8 minutes, but it felt like it wasn't that long?? I was a bit disappointed about that (>д<)
Even at 120 meters, it was very impressive!!

晴れていてとても気持ちよかったです！！
もともと8分と聞いてましたがそんなになかった？？ような気がしたのが少し残念でした(>д<)
120メートルでもとても迫力ありました！！

I was able to board very smoothly. There were people from other countries on board as well, but it was particularly smooth and comfortable all the way to my hotel. I would like to use it again.

とてもスムーズに乗車できました。
他の国の方々も乗っていますが、特に心配なくスムーズで、目的のホテルまで快適でした。
また、利用したいです。

I had been interested in parasailing for a while, and experiencing it in Hawaii was just perfect. So, I went for it. My partner, who is my wife, doesn't like heights, so I participated alone.

In my group (at 4:00 PM), all 10 other participants were foreigners. From the pickup to the return to the hotel, everything was in English ONLY. There are staff who understand Japanese on-site, so if you’re not comfortable with English, it might be a good idea to let them know in advance. That said, I’m not that fluent either, but I actually enjoyed interacting with the cheerful guide, so it was fun in its own way.

It may vary by day, but on the day I went, the boat was quite rocky (especially the waves were a bit intimidating when leaving the bay), so those who are sensitive to motion sickness should be cautious.

On the boat, there was a laid-back and cheerful captain along with two crew members. They played upbeat music, danced, and told jokes, making for a cruise filled with laughter. However, the safety instructions were clear and easy to understand, all in English, but there weren't any complicated procedures, so it was manageable.

Originally, it seems you can't fly solo, but since everyone else was participating in pairs, I ended up flying solo. They assess the wind and wave conditions to ensure safety, so it seems casual but is actually quite responsible (which is to be expected, of course).

This time, I took the 150-meter course, and when I went up, it was higher than I had imagined! Up in the air, I was surprised by how quiet it was, as I couldn't hear the boat's engine anymore. I could see the entire Diamond Head, the round horizon, and the high-rise hotels of Honolulu along with the white sandy beaches in the distance. The long-awaited aerial stroll while only hearing the sound of the wind was amazing.

As expected, I was dropped into the water at the end and high-fived everyone while returning to the dock. The ride back to the hotel, listening to the cheerful driver’s rapid-fire talk, was also enjoyable, making for a very satisfying experience.

Overall, from the hotel pickup to the return, it takes about 2 hours, so if you have any free time, I highly recommend giving it a try!

以前から興味のあった、パラセーリング。Hawaiiで体験できれば申し分ない。
・・・ということで、行ってまいりました。相方のカミさんは、高いのはダメなので、一人参加でした。
私の参加したグループ（16:00）は私以外の10名全て外人。送迎からホテル帰着まで、全て英語ONLYでした。現地には日本語わかるスタッフが居るので、英語ダメな方は、事前に伝えておいたほうが良いかも知れません。とは言え私もそんなに堪能なわけではないですが、陽気なガイドさんとのやり取りを、かえって楽しめた部分もあるので、それはそれで面白いと思いますが。
日によるとは思いますが、私の行った日はかなり船が揺れた（特に湾から出るちょっとビビるくらいの高さの波でした）ので、船に弱い方は要注意と思います。
船でもは、いい感じにいい加減(？)な乗りの良い陽気な船長とクルー2名が対乗船。ノリの良い音楽をかけて踊りながらJokeを飛ばし、終始笑いの絶えない、クルーズでした。とは言え、安全に係る説明や指示は、的確にわかりやすく、説明はすべて英語ですが、そんなに難しい手順があるわけでもなく、まあなんとかなります。
本来はSOLO(1人)では飛ばせないようなのですが、生憎皆さんペアでの参加でしたので、結局SOLOで飛部事になりました。きちんと風や揺れの状況見て判断するから大丈夫と、このあたりもいい加減なようで、きちんとしてます（まあ当たり前ですが (笑)）
今回は高さ150mのコースでしたが、上がってみると、想像していたより高い！上空では船のエンジン音も聞こえなくなり、静かなことに驚きます。遠くにダイアモンドヘッドの全景、丸い水平線、ホノルルの高層ホテル群や白い砂浜を遠望し、風の音だけを聞きながらの念願の空中散歩は最高でした。
お約束で最後に水に落とされ、皆とハイタッチしながら寄港。
また、陽気なドライバーさんのマシンガントークを聞きながらのホテルまでの帰り道も楽しく、大満足な体験ができました。
TOTALではホテルでのピックアップから帰るまで、2時間程度になりますので、少しでも時間が空けられる方は、ぜひ一度お試しください。

It was my first experience with parasailing. The scenery was, of course, beautiful, and I enjoyed it throughout the cruise. Even though I took motion sickness medication, I started to feel a bit nauseous towards the end, so I think it's best for those who are anxious to definitely take the medication beforehand. For those traveling to Hawaii, it's an easy activity to participate in, and I would recommend it to friends who are interested in parasailing. One thing that I found a bit unsatisfactory was that the price was the same even without transportation. They also firmly requested a tip in broken Japanese.

パラセーリング初体験でした。景色はもちろんの事、クルーズ中も楽しめます。
酔い止め飲んでても最後の方気持ち悪くなったので、不安な方は必ず酔い止め飲んでおいた方が良いと思います。ハワイ旅する方には手軽に参加できるし、パラセーリング友達にもおすすめしたいアクティビティーです。
ひとつだけ、送迎なしでも同価格ってのが納得のいかない所ですかね。チップも片言の日本語できっちり要求されました。
