I thought a pool in Hawaii was unnecessary, but the slide is really fun. It's a bit disappointing that it closes early. Time flies so quickly that I wish I could play more, and it's a place I want to visit every time I go to Hawaii.

ハワイでプールなんてと思いましたが、スライダーがとても面白い。閉園が少し早いのが残念です。もっと遊んでいたいと思うほど時間のたつのが早くハワイにいくたびに訪れたいところです。

We were about to miss a zipline experience that cost around 43,000 yen for two people. It was absolutely terrible.

We made a reservation online with pickup included, without going through a travel agency. Considering that in foreign countries, unlike Japan, there’s a possibility that the pickup might not arrive on time, we waited outside the hotel’s main entrance 15 minutes before the scheduled meeting time. However, when the time passed and no one showed up, I called the tour company, Coral Crater Adventure Park, and they said, “The female driver should be there.”

When I told them that I couldn’t see anyone matching that description around the hotel lobby or outside, they provided me with the car's license plate number and said, “There should be a car with this number.” When I responded that there was no car parked, they told me, “Since the time has passed, you have been canceled.”

Even though I was waiting with plenty of time to spare, there was no effort from the tour company’s driver to call my name or look for me. How was I supposed to find the car in this situation when I didn’t even know which one it was? When I asked why there was no communication, the Coral Crater representative said, “The tour bus couldn’t pick you up, so an Uber was sent for you.” I had no prior notice of this via email, so I had no way of knowing.

If an Uber was coming instead, why didn’t they inform me of the car's number in advance? I asked why they didn’t come to call my name, and they replied dismissively, “That’s how Uber works,” avoiding responsibility and refusing to acknowledge any fault or apologize. It was utterly unacceptable.

- Coral Crater tour company → didn’t provide the Uber number in advance
- Me → didn’t know which car it was
- Uber → doesn’t look for customers
It was ridiculous. There was no way I could find the car.

Furthermore, I had to arrange for a replacement vehicle, and I had to search for that car's number. When I found the car and got in, the driver asked, “Where do you want to go?” Even though it was a tour with pickup included and I had already paid. What? Why don’t you know? It was terrifying.

When I showed the destination I had, the driver said, “This is too far.” I had to call the representative again to have them talk to the driver. I was so furious that I lost all desire to enjoy the zipline experience. In the end, I was able to join the tour about 40 minutes late, but during the ride to Coral Crater Adventure Park, I was filled with anxiety and stress, wondering if I would even be able to participate.

I thought maybe it was because Hawaii gets so many tourists that they don’t care about individual customers. They really underestimate their clients.

I learned that I should book through a Japanese travel agency in the future. I will never use them again.

日本円にして二人で43,000円くらいのジップラインをすっぽかされるところだった。
あまりにもひどい。
旅行会社を通さず送迎つきでネット予約。海外は日本と違って待ち合わせ時間通りに来ない可能性を考え、当日は15分前から指定の待ち合わせ場所であるホテル正面玄関口外で待機していた。しかし時間を過ぎても迎えがこないのでツアー会社のコーラルクレーターアドベンチャーパークに電話すると、
「女性ドライバーが着いているはずだ」と言う。
しかしホテルのフロントや正面玄関口の外を見回してもそのような人はいないと伝えると、
車のナンバープレート番号を伝えられ、「この番号の車がいるはずだ」と言われた。
しかし停車している車はないと伝えると、「時間を過ぎたのであなたはキャンセルになった」と言われた。
余裕を持って待機していたのに、その間ツアー会社のドライバーが私の名前を呼んで探すなどが何もなかった。どの車かわからないのに、この状況でどうやって車を見つけられるのか？
なぜ私に声かけがなかったのか問うと、コーラルクレーター担当者が「ツアーバスが迎えに行けなくなったため、ウーバーがあなたを迎えに行った」と言った。そんなことは事前にメールにも知らせがなく、聞いていないので知る訳もない。
代わりにウーバーがくるのなら、車のナンバーを事前に教えてくれなかったのか、名前を呼んで声をかけにきてくれないとどの車なのかわからない問うと、「ウーバーはそういうものだ。」と面倒そうに答え、責任逃れ。そして、非を認めたり謝ったりしない。話にならない。

・ツアー会社のコーラルクレーター
→迎えのウーバーの番号を事前に教えない
・私→どの車かわからない
・ウーバー→客を探さない
ひどすぎる。見つけられるわけないじゃん。

さらに代わりの車を出してもらうことになり、その車のナンバーを探すことになった。その車を見つけ乗車すると、ドライバーが「どこに行きたいの？」と。送迎付きツアーで、すでに支払い済みなのに。え？なんで知らないの？怖すぎる。
持っていた行き先を見せると「ここは遠すぎる」と言ってくる始末。また担当者に電話してドライバーと話してもらった。
もうぶちギレてしまって、これからジップラインで遊ぶような気分ではなくなってしまった。結局ツアーには40分ほど遅れて参加できることになったが、コーラルクレーターアドベンチャーパークに向かっている間も本当に参加できるのか不安とストレス一杯の最悪な体験だった。
ハワイはたくさん観光客が来るからなのか、客一組くらいどうでもいいんだろうなと思った。客をなめている。

今後は日本の旅行会社を通して予約するべきだと、勉強になった。二度と利用しない。

I was satisfied with the cruise.
However, it was disappointing that there was no place to change.

The girls changed outside and seemed anxious about being seen.

The boys didn't mind and just got on the bus as they were. It was too cold because the air conditioning was too strong.

クルーズも出来て満足でした。
ただ、残念なのは着替え場所がない事。

女子は外で着替えましたが、、見られてるかどうかと不安そうでした、、。

男子は気にしないのでそのままバスに乗り込み。冷房が効きすぎで、寒かったです、、

I participated on August 23 when a typhoon was approaching Oahu. I woke up several times during the night, thinking I might receive an email saying the event would be canceled. However, it was confirmed that the event would go ahead, and I decided to participate, knowing that if I canceled on the day, the nearly 90,000 yen for seven people would not be refunded.

Since the sun wasn't out, the sea wasn't beautiful, and both the water and air temperatures were low, everyone was feeling cold. I also participated in snorkeling, but due to the typhoon's effects, I felt scared as I was almost swept away.

After returning, I contacted a company that specializes in sandbar cruises, and they informed me that the Public Safety Bureau had issued a warning, stating that boats should not go out. They mentioned that other companies likely weren't operating either. They said that just rain wouldn't lead to cancellations, but since a hurricane was approaching, that was the reason for the cancellation. I wonder if it was really a good decision to go ahead with the event.

Given the circumstances, I'm relieved that nothing happened. By the way, I heard that those who canceled on the day received a full refund. I regret participating just to avoid losing the 90,000 yen.

オアフに台風が近づいている8月23日に参加しました。中止に当然なるのではとメールが来るかもしれないと何度も夜中に目が覚めました。しかしながら催行するとのこと、7人分の9万近いお金が当日こちらがキャンセルすれば返ってこないと参加しました。
太陽が出ていないので海も綺麗でなく、水温も気温も低くて皆さん寒がっていました。シュノーケリングにも参加しましたが、台風の影響で流されそうになり怖い思いをしました。
帰ってからサンドバー専門のクルーザーの会社に問い合わせたところ、公安局から危険と指示があったので船は出てはいけないということで他の催行会社も全て出ていないだろう、ただの雨ではキャンセルにならないけどハリケーンが近づいていたからいう回答を得ました。催行して良かったのでしょうか。
そんな中でしたので何事もなくてよかったと思います。ちなみに当日キャンセルの方には全額返金したそうです。9万を惜しんで参加しなければ良かったです。

A pickup came to the hotel, and we transferred to a boat from the port for parasailing in order. My Japanese was limited, but I didn't have any particular issues. You can purchase an SD card with the photos for $30, but that's about it. -1 point. It seems difficult to take parasailing photos from the boat. Parasailing allows you to enjoy the blue sky, blue sea, and a private experience of Hawaii. It was amazing. I'm glad I did it!

ホテルまで迎えが来て、港から船に乗り換えて順番にパラセイリングです。
日本語は少しだけでしたが、とくに困ることはありませんでした。
写真は30ドルで撮ったデータの入ったSDカードを購入できるのですが、まあこんなものですね。-1pt。船からとるパラセイリングの写真は難しそうです。
パラセイリングは、青い空、青い海、二人だけのハワイを楽しめます。最高でした。やってよかったです！

The challenge of 120 meters was my first time, so I was nervous, but the moment I jumped, I was like "Whoa!" After going up, I didn't feel the height at all; it was just a great feeling. The view of the ocean from above was vast (which is obvious), and I felt like I could fly forever. It felt so short that I was thinking, "Is it already over?" Next time, I will challenge myself to 150 meters!

120ｍの挑戦、初めてだったので緊張しましたが、飛んだ瞬間はひぇ～となりましたが、上空へ上がった後は、高さも感じることなく、気持ちいいの一言でした。
上空から見る海が広い広い（当たり前ですが）、ずっ～と飛んでいたい気分でした。
もう終わり？って感じるぐらい、短く感じました。
次回は150ｍに挑戦します！！

Nice experience we got.

Staff is very kind and funny .
Speak Japanese very well even they are local.

Thanks all.

The only issue with the transportation for this Hawaii trip was that they did not arrive on time. Considering the traffic situation in Waikiki, it might be difficult to be punctual. However, the hotel front desk staff made a confirmation call, and they quickly contacted us to let us know, "We are currently driving through [location] and will arrive in about [number] minutes!" That was a relief. Upon arrival, they immediately apologized, and I reflected on how I might have rushed them, feeling a bit guilty about it...

このハワイ旅行の送迎で唯一、時間通りにお迎えがきませんでした。ワイキキの交通事情を考えると時間通りという方が難しいのかもしれませんが。。。
ホテルのフロントの方が確認の電話をしてくださり、すぐに「いま、どこどこを走っていて、あと何分ぐらいでつくから！」と連絡がついたので良かったです。到着後、まっさきに謝ってくださり、こちらが急かしてしまい申し訳なかったなと反省・・・。

After arriving at the hotel, I was wandering around unsure of the way to the front desk, and someone kindly came back to show me the way. (I apologize for the trouble at that time...) I will use this service again.

ホテルへ到着後、フロントへの道がわからずうろうろしていたら、わざわざ戻ってきて教えてくださいました。（その節がお手数おかけしました。。。）
また利用させていただきます。

The bus was fully booked, but the atmosphere inside was very friendly and comfortable! For some reason, the driver gave us a Hawaiian souvenir (a vase!?) but I still don't know why (laughs). Throughout the journey, the driver kept us informed about the hotel route and where we were at the moment, which made me feel at ease. I will definitely use this service again when I visit Hawaii.

満席の中、車内は非常に和気あいあいとしてて心地よかったです！
なぜか、ドライバーの方がハワイのお土産（花瓶！？）をくださったのですが、いまだに理由は不明です（笑）
道中も逐一、ホテルの順路であったり、今どこを走っているのかを伝えてもらえたので安心して乗っていれました。また、ハワイに行く際は利用させていただきます。

There was no issue with the timing or guidance, but while driving, the door on the side where the luggage was loaded suddenly opened, and the trunk of my companion fell onto the road with a loud "thud!" I think it wasn't properly locked, but we just laughed and reloaded the trunk, and that was that...

時間や案内に問題があったわけではなく・・・走行中に荷物を積んでいた側の扉が急に開いて同乗者の方のトランクが道路に「どすん！」と落ちました。。。きちんとロックができてなかったのだと思いますが、笑ってトランクを積みなおして終了というのが・・・。

Heavenly Ocean was amazing! It was my first time participating on my 10th trip to Hawaii! I always thought about going, but I hesitated because it seemed boring if the sandbar wasn't out. Finally, I decided to give it a try! I wish I had gone from the start! In the end, the sandbar wasn't out, but the ocean was incredibly beautiful, something I had never seen before... it was wonderful.

To get to Heavenly Ocean, we drove about an hour from Waikiki along mountain roads. Since I tend to get motion sickness in cars and boats, I took some anti-nausea medication before going, so I was totally fine. After that, we boarded the boat to Heavenly Ocean... Within 30 minutes, we could see the sandbar, and there was clearly a different zone with a distinct color and feel to the water!

At Heavenly Ocean, there was about waist-deep water, possibly due to the hurricane that had come the day before, but it was incredibly beautiful and enjoyable! We practiced snorkeling, played beach volleyball, and had fun with a diverse group of people. Couples were taught how to take lovely photos, and they took many beautiful pictures. We were just so impressed by the stunning ocean!

I've been to various oceans before, but I truly felt that it lived up to its name, Heavenly Ocean! While we were playing, the crew grilled meat on a barbecue. I had some concerns about the quality of the meat since it was labeled BBQ, but what we got was a hamburger! We made our own sandwiches with the meat, cheese, and vegetables... there were also beans and chips, and it was delicious.

After that, we went to a spot where we could see turtles. It was very close by, and the sea turtles popped their heads up! Then, we went snorkeling around the coral reef!!! There were colorful fish all around the coral. I was able to see even more colorful fish than when I went diving in Hawaii, and since it was snorkeling, it was easy to participate, which was great!

The Japanese guide was very friendly and kind to everyone, which was really nice!

Actually, I had booked this tour on the day of the hurricane, and it was scheduled to go until the last minute, but at the last moment, it was canceled, and they helped me rebook. Since it's an American company, I guess there are cancellation fees and various things to consider? I think it's better to hold out until the last minute. I learned that the cancellation was due to the rough sea around the coral reef, which made it impossible to see anything! This means it might have been possible to go, so if there are cancellation fees, it might be worth waiting until the last minute. They said that if it was really impossible, they would contact me to cancel and refund my money.

In any case, I was very satisfied to have participated for the first time! I will definitely join again the next time I come to Hawaii!

天国の海最高でした！10回目のハワイ旅行にして初参加でした！
いつも行ってみたいと思いながら、サンドバーが出てないとつまらなそうと、やめていたけど、ついに行ってみることにしました！
最初から行けば良かった！って思いました！
結果的にサンドバーは出てなかったけど、海が初めて見る綺麗さで、、、素晴らしかったです。
天国の海までは、ワイキキから車で1時間くらい山道を走りました。私は元々車や船に酔いやすいので、酔い止めを飲んで行きました。なので全然平気でした。その後、船に乗って天国の海へ、、、。
船は30分も乗らないうちにサンドバーが見えてきて、そこだけあきらかに色も海の感じも違うゾーンが現れました！
天国の海では、前日にハリケーンが来ていた影響もあったのか、腰くらいまで水がありましたが、めっちゃくちゃ綺麗で楽しめました！
次に待っているシュノーケルの練習をしたり、ビーチバレーをしたり、国際色豊かなメンバーで楽しんだり、カップルはステキな写真の撮り方を教えてもらって、綺麗な写真を沢山撮ってました。
私たちは綺麗な海にひたすら感激！
今まで色んな海に行って来ましたが、やはり天国の海というだけあると実感！
そして、天国の海で私たちが遊んでいる間にクルーがバーベキューグリルでお肉を焼いてくれました。
BBQと書いてあったので、お肉の美味しくないのだったらやだなぁなんて内心思ってたのですが、出来上がったのは、ハンバーガー！
自分でパンにお肉とチーズと野菜を挟んで、、、ビーンズとチップスもあって、美味しくいただきました。
その後は、亀が見えるスポットへ。すぐ近くにあって、ウミガメさんがひょこひょこ顔を出してくれました。
そして、サンゴ礁の周りをシュノーケリング ！！！
サンゴ礁の周りに色とりどりの魚がいました。
ダイビングでハワイの海に潜った時よりも色とりどりの魚が沢山見ることができて、シュノーケルだったので、簡単に参加できて良かったです！
案内の日本人の方もすごくフレンドリーで誰に対しても優しく、とっても良かったです！

実は、このツアーハリケーンの日に予約していて、ギリギリまで催行予定だったのですが、ギリギリにNGが出て、予約を取り直してもらいました。アメリカの会社なので、キャンセル料とか色々あるんでしょうね？ギリギリまで粘った方がいいかと思います。NGになったのは、サンゴ礁のところが海が荒れて何も見えなくなったからとツアーに参加して教えてもらいました！ということは、出来なくもなかったということかと思いますので、キャンセル料がかかるときはギリギリまで粘っていいかと思います。本当に無理だとキャンセルの連絡が来て、お金も返金してくれるとのことでしたから。
いずれにしても、初参加出来て大満足です！
また、次回ハワイに来るときはまた参加させていただきます！

Depending on the number of passengers and the location of the hotel, there might be some detours, but I think it's a good option since the price is reasonable and the car is comfortable.

In the past, I used a certain company's airport shuttle that had videos playing inside the vehicle, but here, the cheerful driver briefly introduced the tourist spots along the way (in English). It might depend on the driver, but this feels more like being on an overseas trip.

乗車者人数やホテルの位置によっては回り道になるかもしれませんが、
お手頃な値段で車も快適なので、よいと思います。

過去に利用した某社の空港送迎シャトルは車内に映像が流れるカタチでしたが、こちらは陽気なドライバーさんが通り道にある観光スポットを簡単に紹介してくれました（英語ですが）。
ドライバーさんによるのかもしれませんが、海外旅行に来たぞーって思えるのはこっちかな。

Just as we were about to start, it started pouring rain. I got completely soaked, but I followed the advice that "there's a rental for raincoats, but you'll get hot along the way," and set off as is. By the time the sunlight filtered through the trees and I could see the ocean, I was completely dry. The course was sprinkled with highlights, and I'm glad I chose the two-hour route. The magnificent nature is breathtaking.

さあ、スタートという時に土砂降り。びっしょり濡れたけど、「レイン用のコートのレンタルがあるけれど、途中で暑くなるわよ」という助言に従って、そのまま出発。
木漏れ日が射してきて、海が見えるようになるころにはすっかり乾きました。コース中に見どころがちりばめられていて、２時間コースにして良かったです。雄大な自然は圧巻です。

I used to think flying high would be scary, but I decided to give parasailing a try. Once I actually flew, I felt no fear at all; it was a delightful sensation! It was a happy moment as I enjoyed the view. Riding on the boat was also refreshing and fun. The meeting point was conveniently close to the Hilton, within walking distance. The parachute being in rainbow colors was also very beautiful.

高いところへ飛ぶのは怖いと思っていましたが、それでもパラセイリングを一度はやってみたいと決心して申し込みをしました。
実際に飛んでみたら怖さはなく、ふわりとした感覚でとても気持ち良かったです！景色を眺めながら幸せなひと時でした♪
ボートに乗っているときも爽快で楽しめました。集合場所はヒルトンから近く徒歩で行かれて便利。パラシュートがレインボーカラーで美しいこともとても良かったです。

As someone in my 50s without much confidence in my physical fitness, I decided to try surfing. I participated in a group lesson, but I was able to take breaks at my own pace. It was quite challenging, but I had a great time. I successfully rode the waves a few times by following the instructions I was given, which made me very satisfied. The coach was also supportive, making it easier for me to ride, and I really enjoyed it.

体力に自信のない50代で、サーフィンに挑戦
グループレッスンでの参加でしたが、自分のペースで休みながら
なので、そこそこハードでしたが楽しい時間が過ごせました。
教わった通りにやってみて何回か無事波乗り成功。満足でした。
コーチも乗りやすいようにサポートしてくれ楽しかったです。

I enjoyed all the attractions! I played for the entire time and felt satisfied! The food was below my expectations. There were only a few options like fruit, salad, potatoes, meat, and something that resembled yakisoba. It was quite limited. I was a bit disappointed to see dead bugs and dead leaves floating in the pool water. The park itself felt a bit run down, but I had fun, so it was okay.

アトラクションはどれも楽しめました！
時間いっぱい遊んで、満足です！
ごはんは想像はしていましたが、それ以下でした。フルーツ、サラダ、ポテト、肉、焼きそば？みたいな物しかなく、種類は、少ないです。
プールの水の中に虫の死骸や枯葉が沢山浮かんでて気持ち悪かったのが少し残念です。
パーク自体は廃れた感じがありましたが、楽しめたのでよかったです

I was picked up at the hotel on time, and there were no troubles during the transfer to the airport. The pricing was clear, including tips, so I would like to use this service again next time.

時間通りにホテルまでお迎えがあり、何のトラブルもなく空港まで送迎いただきました。チップ込で明瞭なため、また次回も利用したいです。

Despite the heavy rain and calm sea without wind, we proceeded with the tour as planned. We arrived at the sandbar! Although it was cold and we were shivering, we decided to get into the water, but we couldn't stay in for more than five minutes before getting back on the boat. We ended up eating sandwiches in the leaking cabin. Some people went snorkeling, but they said it was too murky to see anything. Well, that makes sense! It was pointless to even go in.

When we finally thought we could go home, the pickup bus didn't arrive, and we had to wait for an hour in an empty parking lot. It was cold, but at least it didn't rain while we were waiting for the bus, which was a small relief.

In summary, while bad weather might be a matter of luck, I thought it was terrible that the tour continued just for the sake of money despite the conditions. Also, the waiting time for the bus felt like pure torture.

If I go again, I hope it will be when there isn't a hurricane!

大雨の中風がなく海は穏やかなので〜と言うことでそのままツアーします
との事でサンドバーまで行き到着！
雨と寒さでブルブル震えるなかせっかくなので
海に入りましたが５分と入ってられず船にあがり、雨漏りする船内でサンドイッチを食べました。シュノーケリングに出かけた方もいましたが濁っていて何も見えないと
そりゃ〜そうでしょう‼︎ 入るだけ無駄ですよ
無事に戻りやっと帰れると思ったら
迎えのバスが来ない、何もない駐車場に1時間も待たされました
寒かったけどバスの待ちは雨が降らなかった事が救いでした
感想 天候が悪いのは運なのかもしれませんが こんな状態でお金のためだけにツアーを中止にせず行うのは酷いなぁと思いました
また、バスの待ち時間は地獄そのものでした

次回もし行くならハリケーンが来ていない時にしたいものです

The four-wheeler and zip line experiences provided incredibly beautiful memories! I was worried that many Japanese women might drop out of the four-wheeler ride, so if you're concerned, there are options like bicycles and horses, which might be good alternatives. Either way, the scenery is amazing! Since it has been a filming location for places like Jurassic Park, checking it out in advance might enhance your enjoyment even more!

四輪バギーもジップラインも絶景シーンがとても素晴らしい思い出となりました！四輪バギーは日本人女性が離脱してしまうことも多そうなので、心配でしたら、自転車や馬などもあるようですので、そちらでもいいかもしれません。いずれにせよ景色最高です！ジュラシックパークなどの撮影地になっていますので、事前に見ておくとさらに楽しさが増すかもしれません！

My first parasailing experience.
It was just as exhilarating as I expected!
I went up to 150 meters, and at that height, it was a bit scary.
It was fun!

初のパラセイリング。
思った通りの気持ちよさでした！
１５０ｍまで上がりましたが、そのぐらいになるとちょっと怖かったです。
楽しかった！

I was worried because it was early in the morning and the weather wasn't great, but it turned out to be a wonderful memory thanks to our energetic guide. However, the departure of the boat was significantly delayed, and we had to make an unexpected stop at a nearby tourist spot, so I wondered if we could have had more time to enjoy the sea if the boarding time had been longer. Overall, I was satisfied.

早朝から、しかも天気も良くなくて心配でしたが、元気なガイドさんのもといい思い出となりました。ただ、船の出船が大幅に遅れて、急遽港近くの観光地に立ち寄るなどがあったので、もっと乗船時間が長ければもっと海で遊べる時間があったのでは？ということもありましたが、全体的には満足です。

I called out to a staff member near the meeting point, but I didn't get a clear response... It seemed like the staff were having some disagreements among themselves...

However, I was safely taken to the hotel. Thank you very much.

集合場所となっている辺りでスタッフらしき方に声を掛けましたが
要領を得ず。。。
スタッフ同士で揉めてる感じで。。。

でも無事にホテルまで送っていただきました。
ありがとうございました。

I experienced parasailing for the first time on the 150m course over the ocean! We boarded a boat with other tourists and took off in pairs! So, it might be smoother to sign up in even numbers. However, there were also participants in odd numbers or solo, and they paired up with others, and everyone on board had a great time together! The staff were lively and took lots of photos from departure to return, which made it fun! Being able to see Waikiki from above the ocean is a memory I will cherish for a lifetime.

初めてのパラセーリング、海上150mコースを体験しました！他の観光客の方と船に乗り2人ずつ飛び立ちます！なので偶数での申し込みの方がスムーズかな？けれど奇数や一人での参加の方もいましたが、他の方とペアになったり、乗客全員で盛り上がり楽しみました！スタッフもノリが良く出航から帰港までいっぱい写真を撮ったりして楽しかったです！海の上、ワイキキを一望できたことは一生の思い出です。

Previously, I had an experience riding horses at Kualoa Ranch, so this time I decided to try this tour. The tour, which included not only horseback riding but also visits to Dole Plantation and Haleiwa Town, was very satisfying for us as we aimed to ride horses! I thought the 45 minutes of riding time might be short, but I was able to see many beautiful landscapes and truly feel the essence of Hawaii! The timing of the other tour activities was just right, and during the transfers, the driver shared various stories, allowing us to spend a fulfilling half day.

以前、クアロア牧場で乗馬を体験したのもあり、今回はこちらにしてみました。乗馬だけでなく、ドールプランテーションやハレイワタウンにも行けるツアーは乗馬を目的とした私たちには大変満足な内容でした！45分の乗馬時間も短いかなと思ってましたが、たくさんキレイな景色を観られ、充分ハワイを感じることが出来ました！他のツアー時間もちょうど良く、移動中もドライバーの方がいろいろお話し下さり、内容の濃い半日を過ごすことができました。

In April, I participated with my mother. The participants varied widely, including newlywed couples, families with small children, elderly couples, and adult groups.

In the morning, we were picked up next to DFS. We were staying very close to the Sheraton, but it was unfortunate that the Sheraton bus stop could not pick up non-guests.

On the day of the tour, it was sunny to slightly rainy in Waikiki, but it was pouring rain and gray skies at the location. Therefore, we couldn't see the beautiful scenery like in the pictures at all. However, I thought the tour itself was packed with activities.
1. Everyone walked to the sandbar.
2. Snorkeling was available for those who wanted to participate (snorkel sets and floatation devices were provided for free).
3. Lunch (those who didn't go snorkeling ate first, but the portion was sufficient).
4. Motorboat and SUP were available for those who wanted to try (free).

It's really regrettable about the bad weather. Even in poor weather, we were able to see turtles while snorkeling, and there were reasonably clear waters and colorful fish to enjoy. It was a rocky area where you couldn't touch the bottom, but we could borrow floatation devices, and there were quite a few fish. The lunch was quite varied for being on a boat, and the bone-in meat was particularly delicious.

The staff were kind and entertaining, but there were many items for sale that they recommended, so be cautious. On the other hand, you can buy quite a few things on the boat. If necessary, I recommend bringing marine shoes, rash guards, and an underwater camera (waterproof cover for smartphones) in advance. It's either barefoot or marine shoes on the boat.

The satisfaction level of the tour seems to depend a lot on the weather. Even with the pouring rain, I was somewhat satisfied with the price, so I can imagine I would have been very satisfied if it had been sunny. However, someone who participated on the same day mentioned it was their third time joining, and it had rained every time (laughs).

4月に母と二人で参加。新婚旅行風カップル、小さい子連れファミリー、老年夫婦、大人グループなど参加者層は幅広かったです。

朝はDFS横でピックアップ。シェラトンすぐ近くに宿泊でしたが、シェラトンバス停は宿泊者以外のピックアップができなかったのが残念。

当日はワイキキは晴～小雨。現地はザーザー降り＆灰色空。よって、写真みたいな景色は全然見れませんでした。。
でも、ツアー自体は盛りだくさんで良かったと思います。
１、全員で歩いてサンドバー
２、希望者のみシュノーケリング（シュノーケルセット・浮具貸出無料）
３、ランチ（シュノーケル行かなかった人が先に食べてるけど量は十分）
４、希望者のみ、モーターボート・SUP（無料）
ほんとに悪天候が悔やまれます。
悪天候でもシュノーケル中はカメが見れたり、それなりに透明な海やそれなりにカラフルな魚が見れたりして楽しめました。足が付かない岩場でしたが浮具も借りれたし、魚の数も結構いました。ランチも船内にしては種類豊富で、特に骨付き肉が美味しかったです。

スタッフさんは親切で面白いけど、勧められる販売品も多いので注意かな。逆に結構色々船内でも買えます。必要ならば、あらかじめマリンシューズ・ラッシュガード・水中カメラ（スマホ防水カバー）などを持っていくのがおすすめ。船内は裸足かマリンシューズです。

天候でかなり満足度が変わりそうなツアー。ザーザーでもこの値段でもまあ満足なので、晴れてたら大満足なんだろうな。ただ、同じ日に参加した人は3度目の参加だそうで、全部雨だとか(笑)

We participated during our honeymoon. Initially, I wanted to see a fire dance and did some research, but there weren't any interesting options close to our hotel (Royal Hawaiian), so we booked this show, which seemed to have a lot of content beyond just the fire dance.

I'm in my 30s and don't know much about Elvis or American songs from before that era. However, I think the show is enjoyable even if you don't know the songs. The overwhelming vocal talent and powerful dancing are definitely highlights.

We chose a dinner plan, but I felt that the time between the end of dinner and the start of the show was a bit long. The meal was satisfactory. If I go again, I think I would prefer just the show with one drink included.

新婚旅行中に参加しました。
当初はファイヤーダンスが見たいと思い、色々調べていたのですが、自分たちのホテル(ロイヤルハワイアン)から近いところで興味を引く催行が無く、ファイヤーダンス以外も盛りだくさんの内容で楽しめそうなこのショーを予約しました。

当方30代でエルビスやそれより前のアメリカの曲はあまり知りません。ですが、わからなくても楽しめる内容になっていると思います。
圧倒的な歌唱力とパワフルなダンスが見ものです。

ディナー付きのプランを選択しましたが、ディナー終了からショーまでの時間が少し長いかなと感じました。食事は及第点。
次回行くのならばワンドリンク付きのショーのみでイイかなと思いました。

I was worried about the weather, but there were no problems at all. I was a bit concerned about the height of 150 meters, but I felt great and had a wonderful time sailing. I will definitely challenge myself again next time.

お天気が心配でしたが、まったく問題なしで、１５０ｍの高さも気になりましたが、最高の気分で、楽しくセイリング出来ました。次回もチャレンジします。

Due to the impact of the hurricane, the sea was murky and not the beautiful water it usually is, which was disappointing. However, I had a great time with the staff and enjoyed myself. If I have the opportunity, I would like to participate again.

ハリケーンの影響で海が濁り、本来の綺麗な海ではなかったので、残念でしたが、スタッフの方と楽しく過ごせて、楽しかったです。又機会があれば、再度参加したいと思います。

The timing of the tides didn't align, so the sandbar didn't appear, and we were left with shallow waters about waist-deep.
During the sea turtle watching, we were able to spot over ten turtles, which was a lot of fun!
The staff were bright and kind.
The area around the sandbar tends to get more rain and the temperatures are lower compared to Waikiki, so it felt a bit chilly.
I'm glad I went, but since we were at the edge of the sandbar, next time I would like to choose a tour company that can take us to the central area.

潮の満ち引きのタイミングが合わず、サンドバーは出現せず、腰の高さくらいの浅瀬でした。
ウミガメウォッチングでは、10匹以上見つけることができて楽しかったです♪
スタッフの皆さんは、明るく優しい方達でした♪
サンドバー周辺の地域は雨が降りやすく気温もワイキキに比べると低めなので、少し肌寒い印象でした。
行って良かったですが、サンドバーの端っこのエリアだったので、次回は中心のエリアに行ける催行会社を選んでみたいと思います☆
