Oahu
First off the driver, Matthew was great, I couldn't find the pick up spot and he called me and got me there. My fault, I get lost crossing the street. It was rainy, but the place was packed for the 6:15 am trip. 2vhours is more than enough to hike to the top and take pictures along the way. Thank you for a wonderful experience!
運良く、天候に恵まれて楽しむことができました。英語ができた方が意思が伝えられるので良いです。着地では少し水に濡れてOKと伝えて、楽しむことができました。
船がけっこう揺れました。酔い止めが必要かも知れません。
On the last day in Hawaii, I was looking for an easy activity that I could do in a limited amount of time, and I found availability here. Despite making a reservation on the morning of the same day, the process went very smoothly, which was great. The reception location was a bit hard to find, but there was a van with the company name on it as a landmark. There were two young women at the reception (one of whom was fluent in Japanese), and the crew consisted of two young men who spoke English, but there were no communication issues. The ride to the spot felt like a fast cruise, which was enjoyable in itself. I had some slight anxiety about how the landing would go during the parasailing, but it was operated very skillfully, and I naturally landed behind the boat. It was a truly valuable experience.
ハワイの最終日を前に、なにか手軽に限られた時間でできるアクティビティがないかと探していたところ、こちらに空きがありました。当日の午前中に予約したにもかかわらず、大変スムーズに手続ができ良かったです。受付場所はややわかりにくかったですが、社名の入ったバンが止まっているのが目印です。受付は若い女性2名(1名は日本語堪能)、クルーは若い男性2名で英語でしたが、コミュニケーションに問題はなかったです。スポットに着くまでは高速でのクルーズという感じでそれ自体が楽しかった。パラセイリングも、着地する際はどうするのかななど若干不安がありましたが、非常に上手に操作されて、自然とボートの後ろに着陸するようになってました。大変貴重な体験ができました。
On the day of the event, I was worried because the wind was strong, but it seems that the staff's response was good, and my daughters had a great time. Unfortunately, even after taking motion sickness medication, I still got sick, which was disappointing. I can't help my condition, though...💦
当日は風が強く、大丈夫かなって不安はありましたが、スタッフの方の対応も良くかったみたいで娘たちは楽しい時間を過ごしました。酔い止めを飲んでも酔ってしまったので、そこが残念でした。体調はしょうがないのですが…💦

It was so much fun, and I'm really glad I did it! For those who are hesitating, you absolutely should experience it! ✨ A few years ago, I couldn't do it, and it had been on my mind ever since. So, during this trip to Hawaii, I decided that no matter what, I would go skydiving!
At 6:40 AM, a shuttle arrived to pick us up in Waikiki. After stopping at two locations, there were a total of 10 of us in the van. We arrived at the site in about an hour. There were various languages being spoken in the van, which added to the experience (Japanese, Chinese, American).
Upon arrival, we checked in and entered the necessary information on an iPad. Once that was done, we waited on a bench. *I got bitten by a bug during this time, so it might be good to have something like Muhi (anti-itch cream) on hand.
When it was our turn, my name was displayed on a board, and the instructor helped me put on the gear. The person assisting me would be the one jumping with me. I was worried because I didn't understand English well, but the instructors are used to dealing with Japanese participants, so it was fine.
After that, we boarded the Cessna and went up into the sky. I enjoyed the view while waiting excitedly for the moment 💓. After that, I just had to trust the instructor and jump together. Make sure to keep your eyes open and enjoy the beautiful sky and ocean of Hawaii! ✨ After the parachute opens, they will even teach you a bit about steering.
I recommend taking photos and videos (I keep looking back at them with nostalgia). I was surprised that the instructor was wearing sandals, but since they are experienced, I felt safe until landing (*•̀ᴗ•́*)👍. Once everyone had completed their dives, they took us back to Waikiki.
We arrived at the hotel around 11:40 AM, so it felt like we spent the whole morning on this adventure. I hope everyone gets to have a fun experience too! ✨
楽しすぎて本当にやって良かったー♬.*迷っている方は絶対!絶対体験した方が良いです✨
数年前に訪れた時、やれなかったのがずっと心残りで、今回のHawaii旅行では何がなんでもスカイダイビングはやろう!と決めて参加しました。
その際、ベルトラの体験談がとても参考になったので、どなたかの参考になれば幸いです。
6時40分にワイキキへ送迎車が来てくれました。その後2箇所経由してバンには計10名で乗り合わせ。1時間ほどで現地に着きました。車内では色んな言葉が飛び交っておりこれも良い体験になりましたw(日本人、中国人、アメリカ人)
到着後、受付し、iPadで必要事項の入力。終わったらベンチがあるのでそこで待機。
※この時虫に刺されました💦【ムヒ】などあると良いでしょう。
順番になると掲示板に自分の名前が表示され、インストラクターの方が器具を装着してくれます。この時対応してくれる方が一緒に飛んでくださる方になります。英語が分からなくて不安でしたが、インストラクターの方も日本人の対応に慣れているので大丈夫です。
その後セスナに乗り込んで上空まで。景色を楽しみながらワクワクドキドキその時を待ちます💓
後はインストラクターに任せて一緒に飛ぶだけ(^^)
目を閉じないように、Hawaiiの綺麗な空と海をちゃんと楽しんでください✨
パラシュートが開いてからは軽く操縦も教えてくれますよ
写真とビデオ撮影おすすめします。(余韻で見返してますw)
インストラクターがサンダルだったのでビックリしましたが、ベテランの方でしょうから着地まで安心して大丈夫です(*•̀ᴗ•́*)👍
同乗者全員のダイブが終わりましたらワイキキまで送迎してくれます。
11時40分頃ホテルに着いたので、ざっと午前中いっぱいの感じでした。
皆様も楽しい体験を是非✨

★Reasons for a 3-star rating
This is a type where you wrap something around your waist instead of wearing a life jacket. It can be dangerous for elementary school children who lack swimming skills. In fact, children and elderly individuals returned to the boat early. After the tour, I translated the English waiver I signed on-site, which stated that participants should be skilled swimmers.
This is not suitable for children, those who are not good at swimming, or people who are afraid of deep water.
Just when I was feeling disappointed, a sea turtle came close to the boat, and I was thrilled to see it up close. My husband and son seemed to have a great time snorkeling and watching the sea turtle. After that, we enjoyed a long sailing time taking in the scenery, and it seemed like we were looking for whales. We were able to see a whale in the distance, which got the whole family very excited.
I had planned to make a separate reservation for whale watching, but I canceled that and was able to schedule something else, which turned out well.
Sailing was a great experience.
★3の理由
ライフジャケットではなく浮くものを腰に巻き付けるタイプです。小学生のお子さんは泳力がないと危険です。実際、子供や高齢の方は早めにボートに戻っておりました。その場でサインした英語の免責書をツアーが終わってから翻訳したところ熟練した泳ぎができる人の参加とのこと書いてありました。
子供や泳ぎが苦手な人、深い海が怖い人には向きません。
残念だなと思っていたところ、ウミガメが船に近づいてきてくれてしっかり見る事ができて喜びました。主人と息子はシュノーケルでしっかりウミガメ見れたようです。その後、セーリングの時間が長く景色を楽しんでいたあと、どうやらクジラを探しているようで、遠目にですがクジラまで見る事ができ家族みんな大興奮でした。
ホエールウォッチングも別に予約するつもりでしたがそちらはキャンセルし、別の予定を入れられたので良かったです。
セーリングは良い体験でした。
Please do not overexert yourself if you are with small children or elderly individuals. There are a few staff members available, but there is no special consideration for small children. When the wind
小さい子や高齢の方は無理しないでください。スタッフ数人いますが小さい子がいても特別に配慮とかはありません。
風強いとこのタイプの船でもかなり揺れます。酔い止めは必須だと思います。
All of our kids loved it here, they had smiles on their faces all days thanks to the PCC staff!
If you do not want to drive this tour is perfect for some time to explore the gorgeous Haleiwa!
The day is a very busy one, be prepared for a lot of activities, it is almost hard to hit everything in a day but the ticket does allow you to come back for the day touring!
Wonderful guide (forgot his name!) a great day around island for not wanting to driveit!
Listen to when people tell you to go for the ATV tour, what a perfect way to see Kualoa!
Short and sweet while you get a preset ticket to Arizona which is awesome.
Convenient, and the driver was a good chat on the island.
A great day filled with so many awesome local spots and businesses!
These horses are treated with love you can tell! They were very calm during our ride.
This tour was awesome - the waterfall is breathtaking and I loved being able to take my time, enjoy the scenery, and snap great photos along the way
On top of the ATV part, I enjoyed learning more about the land and local agriculture.
Instructor was extremely patient as well as encouraging which definitely made me feel completely comfortable as a beginner
Aloha ʻo Kara,
We are so glad to hear that you had a great time during your Private Surf Lesson. That you felt comfortable, safe, and encouraged by our team! Our teams first priority is your sense of safety and comfortability, and we are so happy to hear that is what you felt. We hope to see you back on the water with us soon!
Mahalo Nui
It was great, it's just that the ocean wasn't cooperating that day but the crew and ride were very good. If the waves were bigger it would have been awesome.
Aloha,
Mahalo for sharing your feedback and for joining us on the water. We’re truly pleased to hear that you enjoyed our crew and the overall ride experience.
As much as we would love to curate perfect conditions every day, weather and ocean patterns are entirely out of our control. Conditions can shift quickly and are guided solely by nature. For this reason, our experienced watermen carefully evaluate the environment prior to each departure to ensure that safety always remains the highest priority.
While we cannot influence the elements, we remain deeply committed to delivering a safe, professional, and memorable experience through the service and care of our team. We would be grateful if you might reconsider your rating based on the service and hospitality provided by our crew, rather than the natural conditions that were beyond our control.
We sincerely appreciate your time and hope to welcome you back again soon.
I had a great time; I just wish the weather had been better. It's a shame I didn't get to see any dolphins or whales. I will participate again if I have the chance.
大変楽しかった、ただ天気が良ければ尚良かったと思った。イルカ、クジラは見れず残念。また機会があれば参加します。
Our weather want great but they still made sure we had a fantastic time. Highly recommend
Aloha Katie,
Thank you so much for your 5 star review. We are very happy to hear that you enjoyed your tour with us.
We are looking forward to seeing you again soon!
Mahalo,
Team KBOS
We were looking for a dinner where we could enjoy a traditional Hawaiian show, as per our family's wishes. Usually, luau events are held away from Waikiki, but this one was conveniently located at the Hyatt in the city center, making it perfect for us since we had plans during the day!
Additionally, the buffet menu was excellent, and I believe even our family members who are not accustomed to international flavors enjoyed the meal!
As for the show itself, we were very satisfied with the ukulele performances and hula dancing at each table, as well as the opportunity to go up on stage for a hula dance experience and receive leis and kukui nuts!
If you're looking for a luau in Waikiki, I highly recommend this plan!
家族の希望で、ハワイの伝統的なショーが見られるディナーを探していました。
ルアウの開催地はワイキキから離れていることが多いのですが、こちらは中心地のハイアットで開催されていますので、日中に予定があった私たちにぴったりでした!
また、ビュッフェのメニューも申し分なく、海外の味に慣れていない家族も食事を楽しんでいたと思います!
肝心のショーについては、テーブルごとにウクレレ演奏&フラダンスや、ステージに上がってフラダンス体験、レイやククイのプレゼントがあったりと大変満足でした!
ワイキキ市内でのルアウをお探しならぜひお勧めしたいプランです!
For couples or those celebrating special occasions, there were fresh flower leis as gifts and live performances, so I highly recommend actively inquiring about them!
カップルやお祝い事がある方には生花のレイのプレゼントと生演奏がありましたので、積極的に申し出ることをオススメします!
Wonderful. It was really great. That's all I can say.
Seeing it up close made a huge difference in the impact. I really hope you get to experience this feeling.
素晴らしい。ほんとに良かったです。その一言です。
間近で見れたので迫力が違いました。この感動を是非体験してほしいと思います。
I definitely think you should see this when you go to Hawaii.
ハワイに行ったら是非見てほしいと思います。
There are tours available at 7:30 or 11:00, and we participated in the 7:30 tour. The 11:00 departure is more popular. The reason for its popularity is that local shops open after 10:00. However, if you go at 7:30, many shops are still closed, but there are fewer people, making it comfortable to explore. If you enjoy leisurely visiting shops, I recommend this option.
7時半もしくは11時のツアーがあり、自分たちは7時半に参加しました。
11時出発のほうが人気です。
人気の理由は、現地のお店が10時過ぎからオープンするためです。
ただ、7時半に行く場合は、開店前のお店が多いですが、その分人も少なく
散策が快適でした。
のんびりしつつお店を巡るのが好きな方はおすすめです。
If you're planning to arrive at 7:30, you'll get to the location before 9:00, so I think it's best to carefully adjust the schedule for the places you want to visit.
7時半の場合は、現地に着くのが9時前になるため、行きたい場所のスケジュール調整は念入りにしたほうが良いと思います。
My outrigger canoe surfing was a blast! My rowing crew was great...friendly and fun! Photographer on the surfboard capturing my adventure was a nice touch!
Aloha ʻo Debbie,
We are so happy to hear your time on the canoe was a blast. Hopefully a memory you will cherish forever. Our canoe captain team works very hard to ensure each canoe ride is safe, fun, and friendly! So happy you enjoyed having the photographer there as well to capture this special moment you shared. We hope you come back again soon.

The theater is more compact than those in Las Vegas, and the distance to the performers is very close. As a result, I had a powerful and moving experience.
ラスベガスの劇場よりも劇場がコンパクトで演者との距離が非常に近いです
そのため大迫力で感動的な体験ができました
I was thrilled to see a pod of dolphins that I thought I wouldn't be able to see! My husband and child had a great time sailing, but unfortunately, I forgot to take my motion sickness medication and ended up feeling seasick. Up until that point, everything was wonderful!
見れないと思ってたいたイルカの群れが見れて最高でした!
夫と子供は気持ちよくいいセーリングでしたが、妻は酔い止めの服用を忘れてしまい船酔いしてしまったのが残念でしたが、それまではよかったです!
If you get seasick, motion sickness medication is a must!
船酔いする方は酔い止め必須!
I've always thought that I wanted to try skydiving at least once in my life, but I was scared. In the end, I went for it and it was so much fun!!! Just thinking about the moment I jumped still makes me shiver, but once I was falling, it was enjoyable, and I got to see so many beautiful views. Also, I feel like I became stronger from the experience, haha. I don't think I'll regret jumping! It's definitely a memory to cherish from Hawaii ♡
人生で1回はスカイダイビングしてみたいけど怖い、とずっと思っていましたが、結局飛んでめっちゃ楽しかったです!!!
降りる瞬間のことは今思い出しただけでも震えますが、落ちてからは楽しくて、景色もいっぱい見れました。あとなんか、飛んだことで強くなった気がします笑 飛んで後悔はないと思います!ハワイの思い出にぜひ♡
I felt at ease driving while being guided. The detailed explanations about the Dole Plantation and North Shore made for a very enjoyable day!
ガイドしながら運転も安心できました。Doleプランテーションやノースショアも詳しく説明してくれてとても楽しい一日になりました!
Not only with Japanese people but also with people from various countries, I experienced a sense of being abroad as they skillfully used both English and Japanese.
日本人だけでなく色々な国の人たちと一緒になり、英語と日本語を巧みに使ってくれて海外にいる感じを味わいました。
Thank you very much for participating in our Royal Star bus tour with your spouse. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed the North Shore and the Dole Plantation. It's great that you were able to make friends with customers from other countries as well. We also appreciate your very positive review. We look forward to seeing you again in Hawaii next time.
この度は私共のロイヤルスターのバスツアーにご夫婦で参加して頂き誠にありがとうございました。ノースショアそして、ドールプランテーションも楽しんで頂いたようで大変嬉しく思っております。他の国のお客様とも仲良くなれて良かったですね。大変ポジティブな口コミも有難う御座います。次回もハワイでお待ちしております。
This time, I went to Dole and Haleiwa for the first time. Since I didn't have a rental car, I signed up for a tour with Japanese language support.
Our driver, Cindy, first took us to take pictures at the King Kamehameha statue and provided various explanations. Next, we rode the train at Dole, which ran comfortably through the plantation. The pineapple soft serve was exquisite. Finally, we went to Haleiwa. When I told the driver that I wanted to eat garlic shrimp, she kindly guided us to a restaurant and even ordered for us since we couldn't speak English. It was such a relief, and we were able to fully enjoy and have fun. After eating, we enjoyed shopping and looking at the beautiful ocean, which was a lot of fun.
Next time, I would like to take a bit more time to enjoy it. Thank you very much.
As souvenirs, I also received pineapple banana cake, water, and mint candies.
今回、初めてドールとハレイワに行きました。レンタカーがないので、日本語サポート付きのツアーで申し込みしました。
Cindyさんというドライバーの方で、まずカメハメハ像で写真を撮って頂き、色々説明もしてくれました。次にドールで汽車にのりプランステーションの中を気持ちよく走りました。パイナップルソフトクリームが絶品でした。最後は、ハレイワに行きました。ガーリックシュリンプを食べたいとドライバーさんに伝えるとお店を案内してくれて、英語が話せない私達に代わり注文をしてくれたり、とても親切だったので本当に安心して堪能して、楽しむ事が出来ました。食べた後は、ショッピングしたり綺麗な海をみたり楽しかったです。
次回は、もう少し時間をかけて楽しみたいと思います。
ありがとうございました。
お土産に、パイナップルバナナケーキやお水やミントの飴も頂きました。
If you don't speak English, I recommend opting for Japanese support. Also, for those visiting Haleiwa for the first time, it's advisable to go early to avoid the crowds and be able to return comfortab
英語が話せない方は、日本語サポート付きをお勧めします。あと、初めてハレイワの方面に行く方は、早い時間の方が混む前に行く事が出来、帰ってくる事が出来るのでおすすめです。
Thank you very much for participating in our Royal Star bus tour with your family. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed the North Shore and Dole Plantation with the support of our Japanese-speaking staff. The soft serve ice cream at Dole Plantation is truly delicious, isn't it? We also appreciate your positive review and the photos. We look forward to seeing you again in Hawaii next time.
この度は私共のロイヤルスターのバスツアーにご家族で参加して頂き誠にありがとうございました。日本語のサポートにてノースショアそして、ドールプランテーションも楽しんで頂いたようで大変嬉しく思っております。ドールプランテーションでのソフトクリーム本当に美味しいですよね。ポジティブな口コミとお写真も有難う御座います。次回もハワイでお待ちしております。
