The meeting point is at the hotel indoor parking lot, and I got lost because I couldn't find the reception. It's better to move with some extra time. After arriving, there will be explanations of each activity in Japanese. After that, it will be in English, but I was relieved that the operation videos were in Japanese. I was happy to receive a bandana to protect against dust. The scenery was also very nice, and the guide's explanations were thorough. The kids were delighted, saying it was like a roller coaster. I thought driving was easy and that anyone could do it. I really enjoyed experiencing the great outdoors and was glad to participate. Unfortunately, it got crowded at lunchtime, and I missed the chance to buy food.

I participated in the tour that started at 9:30 AM. Since we were told to meet on-site and check in 30 minutes early, I left my hotel in Waikiki at 7 AM with plenty of time, heading towards Haleiwa. The drive from Waikiki to the freeway was a bit congested, but after that, it was smooth sailing. I arrived around 8 AM near the North Shore and stopped by the 7-Eleven in Haleiwa for breakfast. (They sell pasta, hand rolls, and sandwiches similar to those in Japan.) I reached the harbor parking lot by 8:30 AM. After parking in a spot of my choice, I checked in at a small hut marked 'North Shore Adventures.' When I provided my last name, I was informed in English that "there is no restroom on the boat, so please take care of that in the brown building over there," and "wait around the pink hut until it's time." By the way, this tour company owns four boats, which have Japanese names like 'Kaiou' and 'Abunai.' This time, we were on the boat called 'Kanpai,' and fortunately, the captain was a Japanese person from Kumamoto (I believe his name was Reese; I apologize if I'm mistaken), who communicated with us entirely in Japanese. Once everyone was gathered, we set sail even before the scheduled time. We took off our sandals, placed them in a black box, and boarded barefoot, choosing our seats. After that, the staff provided explanations in English, mainly about "rules on the boat," "shark information," and "group division." This time, everyone except us was foreign, and we were divided into two groups of six, totaling 12 people. It took about 15 minutes to reach the site, and we arrived in no time. As many have mentioned, it does sway quite a bit, so motion sickness medication is a must. (It's not too bad while moving, but after the engine stops, the cage is directly affected by the waves.) If you forget, there is a 24-hour drugstore (Longs Drugs) in Waikiki where you can find "motion sickness" medication. After putting on our snorkels, we descended into the cage using a ladder while holding a GoPro. There were quite a few sharks. They passed right in front of us one after another, so take your time to get into position before starting to film. They are a docile type of shark, so they won't attack. After enjoying it for about 20 minutes, we switched with the next group and waited on the boat. There are no changing rooms on the boat, so we headed back in our swimsuits. This time, we returned to port at 11:30 AM, making it a very compact activity of about two hours from departure to return. If you choose an early morning tour, you'll have the entire afternoon free for exploring Haleiwa Town, shopping, or driving along the coastline, making for a meaningful day. Overall, this became the best memory of my trip to Oahu. I highly recommend it. Thank you very much.
朝9時半スタートの回に参加しました。現地集合、30分前にチェックインとのことでしたので、時間に余裕を持ってワイキキのホテルを朝7時にレンタカーで出発、ハレイワへ向かいました。ワイキキからフリーウェイまでは多少混みますが後はスイスイ、8時過ぎにはノースショア辺りへ到着、ハレイワのセブンイレブンに寄り朝食をとりました。(日本のセブンに近いパスタや手巻き、サンドイッチが売られています。)8時半にはハーバーの駐車場へ到着。好きな駐車スペースへ停めた後『North Shore Adventures』と書かれた小さな小屋で受付です。ラストネーム(苗字)を伝えると英語で「船にはトイレが無いからあそこの茶色い建物で済ませておくこと」、「時間までピンクの小屋周辺で待機すること」など伝えられます。ちなみにこちらの催行会社では船を4隻所有しており、『海王』や『危ない』など日本語の名前が付いています。今回は『乾杯』という船でしたが、たまたま運よくキャプテンが熊本出身の日本語の方(おそらくReeseさん、違っていたらごめんなさい。)で終始日本語で対応して頂けました。全員揃い次第、時間前でも出航です。サンダルを脱いで黒い箱に入れ裸足で乗船、好きな席へ座ります。その後スタッフから英語で説明、主に「船でのルール」「サメの説明」「グループ分け」についてです。今回は私たち以外は全員外国の方で全部で12名、6名ずつの2グループに分けられました。出航から現場まで15分ほど、あっという間に到着します。皆さん書いている通りかなり揺れますので酔い止め必須です。(走行時はそうでも無いですがエンジン停止後と、ケージが海面のため波の影響をもろに受ける)。もし忘れた場合、ワイキキには24時間営業のドラッグストア(Longs Drugs)がありますのでそこで「motion sickness」で探せば見つかります。シュノーケル着用後、GoProを持ってケージの中へハシゴで降ります。サメはかなりの数います。次から次へと目の前を通り過ぎるので、焦らずしっかり体勢を整えてから動画撮影開始です。おとなしい種類のサメですのでもちろん襲ってきたりはしません。約20分ほど楽しんだ後次グループと交代、船へ上がって待機です。船には更衣室はありませんので、水着のまま帰路に付きます。今回は帰港時11:30、出航から帰港まで約2時間の大変コンパクトなアクティビティでした。午前早目の回を選べば午後はまるまる空きますのでハレイワタウン散策やお買い物、海岸線をドライブなど有意義な1日を過ごせると思います。総合的に今回のオアフ島旅行で一番の思い出になりました。かなりお勧めだと思います。ありがとうございました。

It is true that you can race through the great outdoors and enjoy the magnificent scenery. I believe you can find satisfaction in the content through other media as well, so here are a few points to note:
- Basically, you will get dirty all over. Helmets and goggles are provided, but since they are not cleaned, just putting them on will make your head and face dirty. The vehicle is also dirty, so as soon as you sit down, your pants will get dirty. Additionally, dust from the vehicles in front will fall all over your body. By the way, in addition to the helmet and goggles, a dust mask labeled "Kualoa" is provided, but that is given as a souvenir after the tour.
- Even with goggles on, dust got into my family's eyes, so they used sunglasses or glasses as substitutes.
- Due to unforeseen circumstances, there may be times when you are left behind by the bus. The original plan was for the bus to depart 15 minutes after the 2-hour tour ended, but in reality, the tour extended to about 2 hours and 15 minutes, and when I went to the restroom afterward, I was left behind by the return bus. When I later asked the ticket booth staff, they said the bus only waited for 5 minutes after the scheduled departure time. This means I only had 5 minutes to wash my hands and face and walk from the tour location to the bus, including restroom time.
大自然の中を駆け抜けるというのは本当で、壮大な景色を楽しむことができた。内容に満足できることは他の媒体でもわかると思うので、注意点をいくつか。
・基本的に体中汚れる。ヘルメットとゴーグルが渡されるが、洗われていないため装着しただけで頭と顔が汚れる。車内も汚いので座ったらすぐにズボンが汚れる。また、前を走る車による砂埃が体中に降りかかる。ちなみにヘルメットとゴーグルの他にクアロアと書いてある防塵用のマスクが渡されるが、それはツアー終了後にお土産として渡された。
・ゴーグルをつけていても砂埃が目に入ったので家族は自分なりにサングラスやメガネで代用していた
・不可抗力によりバスにおいていかれることがある。2時間のツアーが終了して15分後にバスが出発するというのが元々の予定だったが、実際にはツアーが2時間15分くらいまで延びて、その後トイレに行っていたら帰りのバスにおいていかれた。後でチケット売り場の人に質問したら、バスは出発予定時刻の5分後までしか待っていなかったとのこと。手や顔を洗ってツアーの場所からバスまで歩く時間とトイレに行く時間を合わせて5分しかもらえなかったということになる。

Before returning on the round trip, we encountered a pod of wild dolphins. The sailing boat was spacious, and the staff were friendly, which made for a great experience. As we headed out to the open sea from around Diamond Head, the waves became higher, so those who are prone to seasickness might feel unwell. The view from the sailing boat is absolutely stunning.

It's a bit disappointing that the location has changed to the rooftop parking lot; it used to be in the courtyard. As a result, the space feels smaller, and the scale of the show seems reduced. The fire dance has also become smaller. Perhaps it's due to the high cost of living.

I saw something I thought I was too old to try. This being a birthday weekend of celebrating I thought I'd step out on faith and try something new. When the opportunity came, I said, signs me up, I'm all in. Though a little nervous the crew Russell and Sharky, made you feel relaxed and offered instructions that had you moving along as if you were a pro. There was, laughter, gentle corrections and so much fun. Before you knew it you were getting strapped in and sailing in the air at 1000 ft. Who would have known it would be so much fun. I'd do this again if and or when the opportunity comes around again.

I've always wanted to try outrigger canoeing! The first wave was a bit small, and since I had heard there would be three challenges, I thought there would be two more to go... However, the small ones didn't count, and I was able to ride three big waves. The thrill of riding those big waves and getting close to the shore was absolutely amazing! I ended up getting splashed more than I expected. (laughs) But I highly recommend this activity.
Next time, I definitely want to ride even bigger waves than this time! ♪

I had a great time exploring the eastern half of Oahu!
I took the number 20 bus from Waikiki, but there were places along the way where the sidewalk disappeared, so I recommend taking a taxi or similar transportation! (On the way back, I used Uber, and they arrived quickly.)
Once I arrived, I took care of the restroom and other preparations, watched the safety video, and then we were off. I got there early, so I waited while enjoying snacks from the vending machine.
They provided free jackets (like hoodies), sunglasses, and waterproof phone cases. Lockers were also free.
Since I get cold easily, I borrowed a long-sleeve shirt and pants, but it wasn't actually that cold.
The staff assigned me a seat, and by chance, I sat next to the pilot, which was an incredible experience.
During the flight, they introduced various sights in English, like Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head, but I could only catch about half of what was said...
The turbulence was just at the edge of what I could handle, but there were moments of high-speed flying close to the ground that were very thrilling!
You can take photos with your smartphone, but after the flight, you can purchase photos and videos as an option.
While swimming at Waikiki Beach, I see many helicopters every day, so I was really glad to have been on one of them!
オアフの東半分を周れて、とても楽しかったです!
ワイキキから20番バスで向かったのですが、途中歩道がなくなる場所もあったので、タクシー等で行くことをオススメします!
(帰りは、ウーバータクシーにしました。すぐ来ました)
着いたら、トイレや諸々準備を済ませて、安全ビデオを見たら、出発です。
早めに着いたので、スナックとドリンクの自販機でお菓子を食べながら待っていました。
上着(パーカー等)、サングラス、防水スマホケースは、無料で貸してくれました。また、ロッカーも無料でした。
寒がりなので、長袖長ズボンに、パーカーを借りましたが、実際はそこまで寒くなかったです。
スタッフの方に、座る位置を指定されたのですが、たまたまパイロットの横に座れ、すごい臨場感でした。
ワイキキビーチやダイヤモンドヘッドなど、いろいろ英語で紹介してくれながらのフライトでしたが、英語は半分くらいしか聞き取れませんでした…。
怖がりでもギリギリ許せる程度の揺れでしたが、途中、ハイスピード+地面スレスレ飛行があり、とてもスリリングな場面もありました!
スマホでも写真は取れますが、終了後、写真と動画がオプションで購入できます。

It felt like I was floating in the air, and it was very pleasant! It was higher than I expected, but the view of Waikiki was amazing! There wasn't much of a floating sensation, so it swayed a bit, but even those who are scared will be fine. At the end, we made a splash into the sea, which was also fun.
Here’s what I experienced: After checking in, we waited for about 10 minutes before boarding the boat, and then we went straight to parasailing. I recommend taking care of restrooms, motion sickness medication, and changing clothes before checking in. There was a public restroom nearby. Also, since you will be getting a little wet, wearing a swimsuit is a good idea.
In my group, there were 3 pairs of us, and we flew shortly after traveling about 10 minutes by boat. By the way, we were instructed to put sandals and bags under the boat seats.
Before flying, they asked us to remove our hats, but it was okay to hold onto our smartphones in waterproof cases (we could take photos from above).
Right before flying, the crew asked if we wanted to buy photos (for $40), and if you request it at that time, they will take over 100 pictures for you. The payment was made at the check-in hut after getting off the boat (credit cards were accepted).
The boat swayed quite a bit, so it's recommended to take motion sickness medication beforehand.
空中をふわふわ散歩してるかのような気分で、とても気持ちよかったです!
思ったより高かったですが、ワイキキも見渡せて、最高です!
そんなに浮遊感もないので、多少は揺れますが、怖がりでも大丈夫でした。
最後に海にジャパーンするのですが、それも面白かったです。
以下、私が体験した内容です。
チェックインしたら、10分くらいその場で待った後にすぐ船に乗り、そのままパラセーリングでした。
トイレや酔い止め、着替えは済ましてからのチェックインがおすすめです。なお、公衆トイレみたいなのが近くにありました。また、海にちょっぴり浸かるので、水着が良いと思います。
私の回は2人×3組だったのですが、船で10分くらい行った先で、すぐに飛ぶことになります。
ちなみに、サンダルやカバンは船の座席の下に入れるよう指示がありました。
飛ぶ際に、帽子は取るように言われましたが、防水ケースに入れたスマホは持っててOKでした(上から写真もとれました)。
飛ぶ直前に、写真(40ドル)を買うかどうかクルーの方に聞かれて、その際にお願いすると、100枚以上写真を取ってくれます。
なお、お会計は船を降りたあと、チェックインした小屋にて支払いました(カードもOKでした)。
船はかなり揺れるので、酔い止めを飲んでおくほうがオススメです。

I participated in a snow boat tour due to the children's wish to swim in the beautiful sea. Although I wasn't very enthusiastic since I'm not good at swimming, I was thrilled to be able to swim with sea turtles while snorkeling. The children, who have strong core and leg muscles, were able to stand up on the SUP right away, but I, having passed my sixtieth birthday and with weakened legs, couldn't stand until the end, which was quite frustrating. However, before I knew it, I was completely absorbed in playing until the very last moment. The spam sushi made by the staff was delicious when I got a little hungry.
きれいな海で泳ぎたいという子どもたちの希望でスノーバーツアーに参加しました。泳ぎの得意でない私は乗り気ではありませんでしたが、行ってみるとシュノーケリングではウミガメと泳ぐことができて大興奮。SUPは体幹があって足腰がしっかりしている子どもたちはすぐに立つことができたのに還暦を過ぎて足腰が弱った私は最後まで立つことができず、大変悔しい思いをしましたが、気がつけば時間ギリギリまで夢中で遊んでしまいました。小腹が減った時に食べたスタッフさんお手製のスパム握りがおいしかったです。

Very private experience! Only us and one other group onboard. They are very safety oriented and make sure that everyone is having a good time. We saw so many turtles, too many to count. Kris found us an octopus and a collector urchin.
Glad you enjoyed your tour with us! Mahalo!

I was able to rent a long-sleeved wetsuit and long pants, so I didn't have to worry about sunburn or the cold. I was able to swim quite a distance. It would have been tough to go on my own, so I'm glad I joined a tour.
長袖長ズボンのウエットスーツをレンタルできたので、日焼けも寒さも気にならなかったです。 結構な距離を泳ぐことができました。 個人で行くのは大変なのでツアーに参加してよかったです
Thank you for joining the tour with Blue Hawaii Divers. Currently, online reservations for Hanauma Bay are mandatory, and they sell out within minutes, making it very difficult for individuals to visit. Our instructors are certified Hanauma Bay instructors, so we can take you to Hanauma Bay without the hassle of online reservations. We hope you will join our tour again when you come back to Hawaii. We look forward to seeing you. Thank you very much. Mahalo!!
この度はブルーハワイダイバースのツアーにお越しいただき、ありがとうございます。
現在のハナウマ湾はオンライン予約必須なのですが、数分で完売してしまうことから個人で行くのはとても大変な状況になっております。
弊社のインストラクターはハナウマ湾公認インストラクターですので、煩わしいオンライン予約なしでお客様をハナウマ湾へお連れできるんです。
ぜひまたハワイにお越しの際には私達のツアーにリピートしてくださいね。お待ちしております。
本当にありがとうございました。Mahalo!!

The guide and driver, Mr. Arai, was very polite and made the tour truly enjoyable and reassuring.
I will definitely repeat this tour when I come to Hawaii.

The sea was beautiful, the staff was cheerful and kind, there was live music, and the activities were a lot of fun!
This time, I participated in two consecutive tours to different sandbars, so I will compare based on my experiences.
- Boat size (this tour had a larger boat. The restroom was also fairly decent. Since there were many passengers, the atmosphere may vary depending on the participants. When we joined, there were relatively many families and three generations participating, which created a friendly vibe.)
- Activities (if you want to try banana boating or bumper tubing, this is the tour for you. Both snorkeling and SUP were enjoyable on either tour.)
- Live music (when we participated in this tour, the songs were mainly famous ones from Japan and Disney.)
- Provided snacks (the donuts here were American-sized and sweet.)
- Boat docking location (it was a bit far from the shallowest part of the sandbar. Due to tidal conditions, there were places where children around 120 cm tall could not touch the bottom at all... although life jackets were provided, it might be a bit challenging for children who are not good at swimming.)
- Japanese guide (it may vary by day, but on the days we participated, the guides provided detailed explanations in Japanese, which was reassuring.)
- Changing clothes, etc. (I think it's better to prepare something to wear over your swimsuit and plan to get on the bus as is. There are restrooms at the port, but they are limited, and the women's restroom has a long line. It is recommended to keep wearing aqua shoes. If you want to take videos or photos, don't forget a waterproof phone case!)
海は美しく、スタッフも陽気で親切、ライブ演奏もあり、アクティビティも大変楽しかったです!
今回2日連続でサンドバーが目的地の異なるツアーに参加したので、体験した範囲で比較してみます。
・ボートのサイズ(こちらのツアーの方が大きかったです。お手洗いもそれなりにしっかりしたものがあります。乗船人数が多いので、参加者によって雰囲気が左右されると思います。私たちが参加したときは親子連れや三世代参加が比較的多く和やかでした)
・アクティビティ(バナナボート、バンパーチューブにトライしたい場合はこちら。シュノーケリングやSUPはどちらでも楽しめました)
・ライブ演奏(私たちがこちらのツアーに参加したときは、日本でも有名な曲やディズニー中心でした)
・提供される軽食(こちらのドーナツはアメリカンなサイズと甘さでした)
・ボートの係留場所(サンドバーの一番の浅瀬からは少し離れた場所でした。潮位の条件もあって身長120㎝程の子供は全く足が着かない場所もあり…ライフジャケット着用ですが、泳ぐのが苦手な子にはややハードルが高いかもしれません)
・日本人ガイド(日によると思いますが、どちらのツアーも参加した日は日本語で細々とした点まで説明してくださって安心感がありました)
・着替えなど(どちらも水着の上に羽織れるものを用意して、そのままバスに乗る前提でいたほうがいいと思います。港にお手洗いがありますが、数が少なく女子トイレは長蛇の列になります。足もとはアクアシューズを履きっぱなしにするのがおすすめです。動画や写真を撮りたい方は防水スマホケースをお忘れなく!)
Thank you for participating in the tour and for sharing your family's experience (including advice). From all of us at KBOS.

I wanted to have a meal separately, so I chose a course that only allowed me to experience the show. When it was time, we were allowed into the theater, but it seemed that the middle area was reserved for those with meals, so guests who only attended the show were guided to the seats on the sides. The show was quite good overall. The kids didn't react much since they aren't very familiar with Elvis or Michael, but they seemed to enjoy the fire show. It might have been better if there had been a bit more acrobatics. There were perhaps too many songs, which made it slightly boring... As for Michael, he was a bit chubby and I wouldn't say his dancing was great. Of course, the real Michael is incredible, so it's understandable that he can't be imitated, but the overall quality was solid and it was enjoyable as entertainment. However, what we had imagined was enjoying music outdoors while feeling the sea breeze, so it was a bit of a surprise to be completely inside the theater in a sealed space. I thought maybe a show at a hotel would have been better. Well, I was glad to see the authentic Hawaiian hula dance, so next time I would like to book a package that includes a meal and some activities.
食事は別でしたかったので、ショーだけを体験できるコースを選びました。
時間になるとシアターに入れますが、どうやら真ん中のエリアは食事付きの人の分みたいでショーだけのお客は左右のシートに案内されます。
ショーは普通に良かったです。子供たちはエルビスもマイケルもあまり知らないから反応は薄かったですが、ファイヤーショーなんかは楽しめたみたい。
もう少しアクロバットな感じがあったら良かったかもしれませんね。
歌が多すぎて若干退屈だったかも…
マイケルもね。。太っちょマイケルで、お世辞にもダンスが上手とは言えない感じで。本物がスゴすぎるのでマネをすることはできないんでしょうけどねもちろん全体の完成度はしっかりしておりエンターテインメントとして楽しめました。
ただ、私たちが想像していたのは屋外で海の風を感じながら流れる音楽を楽しんで…というものだったので、シアターの中に完全に入って密封空間になったのはちょっと誤算でした。
それならホテルなんかでやってるショーでもよかったかなとちょっと思ったり。。
まぁでも本番ハワイのフラダンスは観られたので良かったです次は食事付きで、ちょっとしたアクティビティもついてる方を申し込んでみたいと思います。
Thank you very much for attending the Rockafella Rockin' Show. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed the Hawaiian show and the fire knife performances. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you back when you visit Hawaii again.
この度はロッカフラ ロッキンショーにご来場頂きまして、誠に有難うございます。ハワイアンショーとファイヤーナイフなど楽しめて頂けたご様子で、私共も大変嬉しく思っております。またハワイにお越しの際には、ご来場頂けますよう、スタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げます。

The scenery was beautiful and it was fun, but the dust was worse than I imagined. You'll need to wash your face and change clothes afterward. It was good to have two drivers. If you're short, driving can be quite tough. Since your bag can get dirty, it's better to either put it in a bag or store it in a paid locker.
景色綺麗で楽しかったけど、想像以上に土ほこりがひどい。終わってから洗顔や着替えが必要。運転手2名体制で良かった。身長低いとけっこう運転辛い。カバンも汚れるから袋に入れるか有料だけどロッカーに保管した方がいい。
