I went at the same time last year, and it was disappointing that the tour was canceled due to a scheduling conflict with an event, so I'm glad I could participate this year.
I encountered many dolphins, and it was a lot of fun.
The crew was bright and wonderful, and I plan to join again.
去年も同じ時期に行き、申し込みした日が何かのイベントと重なるため、このツアーが中止になってしまって残念だったので、今年は参加出来て良かった。

There were hardly any Japanese people, and the passengers were drinking and getting really loud, so the feeling of being out of place was quite strong, but I was able to fulfill the purpose of the "Sunset Cruise." I thought the boat turned in various directions, allowing everyone to enjoy the view from any seat. Since I don't drink alcohol, when I refused the drinks that were initially offered, I wasn't approached again after that. I wonder if they have soft drinks or something?
日本人がほとんどいなかったのと、乗客がお酒を飲んでハイテンションに騒ぎまくりだったので、アウェイ感は半端なかったですが、「サンセットクルーズ」という目的は果たせました。いろんな方向に船を向けてくれるので、どの席でも楽しめるようになっていると思いました。
わたしはお酒を飲まないので、最初に配られるお酒を拒否したら、そのあとは声を掛けられなくなりましたが、ソフトドリンクとか無いんですかね?

I had fun hiking to the waterfall and going swimming but the water was freeeezing!! I felt like the first time I did this activity we had a lot more time. I was able to snorkel, eat, stand up paddle and walk the town. This time I felt like going to the nut farm wasted a lot of time to do the activities. That part should be taken out and the time should go towards the actual activities. But all in all is was fun.

I boarded the Aloha with about 30 participants from the pier. To prevent water and dirt from getting on our feet, we handed our belongings to the crew when boarding and received them back upon returning to the pier.
The two drink tickets given at check-in can be exchanged for drinks of your choice, but the crew will also serve drinks without tickets, so in a way, there are no restrictions. Apart from us, there was one couple and a man who boarded alone for photography, along with couples and families from overseas.
It was a bit chilly outside due to the strong wind, but it’s not a long voyage, so it’s manageable. The fireworks against the backdrop of the Hilton Hawaiian Village last only about five minutes, but they are as spectacular as the finale of a Japanese fireworks festival. This short evening activity is convenient to enjoy after daytime sightseeing or water play.
Although it’s called a buffet, it’s more of a light snack rather than a lavish spread. Enjoy the fireworks with the image of flowers rather than dumplings!
船着き場の突堤から30人ほどの参加者と一緒にアロハ号に乗り込みました。足元は水濡れや船内の汚れ防止のためか乗り込む際にクルーに預け、突堤に帰港した際、受け取ります。
チェックインの際に渡されたドリンクチケット2枚で飲みたいドリンクと交換ですが、チケットなしでもクルーが欲しいドリンクを出してくれるのである意味制限なしみたいなものです。日本人は我々以外にご夫妻が1組と単独で写真撮影のために乗船した男性一人 あとは海外からのカップル 家族でした。 船外は風が強くやや冷えますが長時間の航海ではないので大丈夫です。 ヒルトンハワイアンビレッジをバックに打ちあがる花火はわずか5分ほどですが、日本の花火大会で云うフィナーレのような打ち上げで華やかです。夕方からの短時間のアクティビティですので日中の観光や水遊びの後に楽しめるのでお手軽です。ビュッフェと云っても豪華なものではなくスナック程度の軽食と思っていただいた方がいいです。花より団子ではなく団子より花のイメージで花火を楽しまれるといいですよ

This Pearl Harbor tour is the perfect experience for people who want to step back in time and learn about what happened on the day Pearl Harbor was attacked. First, we went to the USS Arizona memorial. We watched a 10 minute introduction video that gave a brief description of the Pearl Harbor Attacks and World War 2 then we took a short boat-ride to the memorial. Then we toured the USS Bowfin submarine with an audio guide and the USS Battleship Missouri with a tour guide. These tours really put things into perspective. I chose a deli sandwich for lunch and it was good. The bus driver Kaleo was great; he was very personable, treated us like family, and made everyone laugh. He made the drive to and from Pearl Harbor very entertaining. Overall, this Complete Pearl Harbor was a very eye-opening and touching experience.

The horseback riding itself was great, but it was quite far from Haleiwa, taking about 40 minutes by bike one way. I recommend renting a car or chartering a vehicle if you participate in this option. However, unlike Kualoa, riding by the seaside was very pleasant with the refreshing sea breeze. The guide was in English, but there were Japanese informational materials at the reception, and they also showed a Japanese instructional video before the ride, which was reassuring.
乗馬そのものは良かったですが、ハレイワからも離れており自転車で片道40分くらいはかかりました。こちらのオプションに参加する場合はレンタカーか、車チャーターすることをお勧めします。ただ、クアロアとは違い海辺で乗馬できるのはとても海風が心地よく爽快でした。英語ガイドでしたが、受付に日本語の案内書面もありますし乗馬する前に日本語のレクチャー動画も見せてくれるので安心でした。

I wanted to see a Hawaiian show, so I decided to participate. In the VIP course, after entering through a separate entrance, we enjoyed a delicious welcome drink and light snacks, followed by a course dinner and then the show. I think the meal was plentiful and luxurious. Also, if you don't know how to shell the lobster, you can ask for help, and they will do it for you. The show allows you to experience the history of Hawaii and its music from the past to the present, even covering songs from Disney's Moana, always keeping the content fresh. The audience was lively, and the performers came close to the seats, making it an engaging experience. One thing to note is that the venue was quite cold, so a jacket is essential.
ハワイアンショーを見たいと思い参加させていただきました。VIPコースでは、通常エントランスとは別入場の後、美味しいウェルカムドリンクと軽食をいただき、コースディナーをいただいた後ショー観覧といった流れとなります。食事は量が多くかつ贅沢な内容になっていると思います。また、ロブスターの剥き方がわからない人はお願いすれば剥いていただけました。ショーにはハワイと音楽の歴史を過去から現在にむかって体感するといった内容になっており、ディズニーのモアナの曲までカバーするという常に最新を意識する内容になっています。観客のノリもよく、また、役者が席の近くまでくるので飽きを感じない内容となっております。1点だけ注意すべきなのは、会場が大変寒く、羽織物必須ということでしょうか・・・

It seems that the departure is after sunset to coincide with the fireworks, so the two hours in the dark are quite boring. It's impossible to swim, and I wonder where they expected us to swim?? There's no space to move since it's cramped, and we just have to endure sitting until the fireworks. It's cold, dark, and scary... and there's no restroom. I was looking forward to this since I had a great time on another company's catamaran last year, but it's disappointing.

We jumped together to commemorate completing the Honolulu Marathon!
We requested a video shoot with a cameraman.
All the staff were kind and made it enjoyable. They provided explanations of the scenery and made sure we could relax until we reached the diving point.
There was a moment of fear when jumping from the Cessna, but without hesitation, we were pushed out from behind and enjoyed freefall and parachuting in the wonderful scenery.
During the parachute descent, they spun us around for fun, but I got a bit nauseous. I heard it's good to say "please don't spin." Still, it was an amazing experience!
My husband landed with a sliding landing, and his pants got all dirty. I recommend wearing pants that you don't mind getting dirty.
It was an exhilarating experience out of the ordinary.
The editing of the video is also cool, and I recommend it. I keep watching it, enjoying the beautiful scenery and my funny face.

About three days ago, the first tour was fully booked, so I signed up for this tour. They picked us up by bus, and from there we moved to the sandbar by boat. I didn’t feel seasick at all, and it was really pleasant arriving at the sandbar. Unfortunately, the water level was up to my waist, but it was very beautiful. We strolled around, took photos, and relaxed at a leisurely pace. There was plenty of time.
After that, we had a hamburger lunch! It was delicious, with freshly grilled patties. You could add tomatoes, onions, lettuce, and more as you liked. Then we went sea turtle watching. I think we saw about ten turtles. They swam gracefully and occasionally popped their heads up for air. After that, snorkeling at a stunning spot! We visited several snorkeling points, and there were many fish. It was the first time I saw a sea turtle. A few groups spotted them, and since I wasn’t wearing a flotation jacket, I dove down a bit and saw them up close. It was amazing to swim alongside the turtles. (Of course, I think I was lucky…)
Snorkeling was also very enjoyable. The plan, which included the sandbar, lunch, sea turtles, and snorkeling, was very satisfying. Our guide, Yuki, was also a lot of fun and shared some movie filming stories, which made it enjoyable. I will definitely join this tour again next time. I highly recommend it!
*Put your belongings in a vinyl bag. Wear marine (water) shoes and bring extra towels from the hotel. Keep your phone around your neck. If possible, sitting on the outer side of the front deck allows for better views of the turtles. Make sure to apply sunscreen well. Drinks are included, so you don’t need too many, but having one for the trip or when you want to drink right away is necessary. Don’t forget to prepare a tip; around $20 to $25 per person is ideal. After the tour, we returned to the hotel by 4 PM, and then we had plenty of time to enjoy shopping.
3日くらい前一番初めのツアーが空いていなかったので、
このツアーに申し込み。バスで迎えに来てくれて、そこから船で移動
まったく、船酔いすることもなく、すごく、気持ちよくサンドバー到着。
あいにく腰下まで水位がありましたが、すごくきれい。
ぶらぶら歩いたり写真を撮ったりまったり、ゆっくり。十分な時間でした。
その後、ハンバーガーランチ!こちらも美味しい。ハンバーグも焼き立て。
トマト、オニオン、レタスなどもお好きに挟んで。という感じ。
その後、ウミガメウオッチング。
10匹は見えたと思います。優雅に泳いでたまに顔を水面に出してくれました。
その後シュノーケリングも最高にきれいなポイント!
いくつかシュノーケルポイントは行きましたが、魚も多く
ウミガメが見えたのは初めて。
数組の方が発見して、私は浮きのジャケットを着ていなかったので、少し潜ったら大きく見えました。さらに、カメと一緒に泳ぐことも出来て最高でした。
(もちろん、ラッキーだったと思いますが…)
シュノーケリングも十分楽しめます。サンドバー・ランチ・ウミガメ・シュノーケルと大満足のプランでした。案内してくださったYUKIさんもとても、
楽しい方で映画の撮影の紹介などもあり、楽しめました。
次に行くときもこのツアーに絶対参加します。お勧めです
※荷物はビニール素材のバックに入れて。靴はマリン(ウォーター)シューズ・タオルはホテルレンタル多めに。携帯は首にかけて。可能なら、前のデッキの外側に座れるとそのまま、カメがうまく見えます。日焼け止めはしっかり塗って。ドリンクはついているので、そんなにいらないが1本くらいは移動やすぐ飲みたいときに必要。チップを準備するのを忘れないで。一人、20ドルから25ドルくらいが理想です。
終了後も16時にホテルに戻りその後、十分にお買い物楽しめます。

It took about an hour and a half from Waikiki, but it was a very peaceful and relaxing ranch. The horseback riding options for preschoolers are limited, but this plan is very fulfilling. We were able to leisurely stroll through the vast grounds and even had designated photo time at various points. Along the way, we learned a lot about Hawaiian plants, how to care for horses, and how to give commands. At the end, we gave a thank-you carrot, brushed the horse, and took photos, making for a total experience of about 1 hour and 30 minutes. They kindly answered all of my daughter's many questions, and she fell in love with horseback riding. It felt like a personal English lesson while riding, which was a great deal. The entrance to the ranch is a bit tricky, but it was truly a wonderful place. If you have some time to spare, I highly recommend it!
ワイキキから1時間半位かかりましたが、とてものどかでのんびり出来る牧場でした。未就学児でもできる乗馬は限られていますがこちらのプランはとても充実しています。広大な敷地をのんびり散策しながらポイントで止まって写真TIMEまで配慮してもらえました。道中ハワイの植物の事や、馬のお世話の仕方、指示の出し方等など深いお話が聞けました。最後にありがとうのニンジンをあげてブラッシング、写真撮影で終わりですが、トータル1:30は体験できました。娘の数々の質問にも丁寧に答えてくれ乗馬が大好きになりました。

Before leaving Japan, the weather forecast for the scheduled day predicted a 60% chance of rain. I called the organizing company two days prior, and they assured me that the event had never been canceled and that they had raincoats and ponchos prepared, so it would be fine. On the day itself, it did rain a little, but it wasn't significant, and I didn't mind much; my windbreaker was sufficient. By the second half of the day, it even cleared up.
The course was changed to the Lyon Arboretum instead of the Manoa Falls area, which was under construction. It was fun not only to learn about the plants but also to have unexpected experiences like picking and cracking open kukui nuts to eat.
日本を発つ前から予定日の天気予報は雨60%。2日前には主催会社に電話もしましたが、今まで中止になったことはなく、合羽やポンチョを用意しているから大丈夫との返事。当日は少し降りましたが大した雨ではなく、あまり気にもならず、着ていったウインドブレーカーで十分。後半は晴れてもきました。
コースはマノアの滝方面が工事で行けない代わりのライオン植物園でしたが、植物の説明だけでなく、ククイの実を拾って割って食べるなど、思いがけない体験もして楽しかったです。

It was a clear day, and both the sea and the mountains were beautiful. The shallowest area had water up to my knees, but it was surprisingly clear, like a different world.
I was worried about snorkeling since I couldn't do the breaststroke, but I was able to move just by using my hands, and I was thrilled to see sea turtles swimming up close.
The blueberry or chocolate muffins we received right after boarding, as well as the lunch, were delicious.
If I had to mention something, the driver was late compared to the meeting time, and he was distributing the schedule by wetting each piece of paper. Also, the changing area on the way to Kailua was in a public restroom with limited stalls, and since locals were using it too, it made us a bit rushed. However, at Būkimō, it was not crowded, and I was able to eat pancakes right away.
I also think it would be helpful if the tour included tips. I definitely want to join again during low tide next time.
当日は快晴で海だけでなく山もとても綺麗でした。一番浅い場所で膝ぐらいの水位でしたが、驚くほど透明で別世界の景色です。
シュノーケリングは、平泳ぎの足が出来ず心配でしたが、手をかくだけで進み、海亀の泳ぐ姿を間近でみれてテンションが上がりました。
乗船してすぐ頂くブルーベリーorチョコのマフィンもランチも美味しかったです。
強いて言うなら、行きのドライバーさんが集合時間より遅れて来たこと、車内で配るスケジュールを1枚ずつ唾を付けて配っていたこと、カイルアへ行く途中の着替えがどこかのトイレで個数も少なく、地元の方も使うので譲っていたら時間が…となり焦ったぐらいです。ブーキモは空いててすぐパンケーキを食べれました。

This was my first time in Hawaii, so I made a reservation based on information I found online. The communication regarding transportation was polite, and I received updates about the meeting location and time changes from the hotel. Women must wear rash guards, which also protect against the wind when boarding. For men, it's all about determination.
During our visit, we were comfortably picked up by a large tour bus. We stopped to use the restroom at the boat departure location. Due to the large number of participants, we split into two boats: one with mostly Japanese people and the other more international. Personally, I preferred the international boat, but my family wanted to be on the one with mostly Japanese passengers. The energetic and thorough explanations from the staff really boosted our spirits.
At the sandbar, we borrowed goggles and snorkels to enter the water. It's essential to have a waterproof case for your smartphone, even if it's a cheap one from a dollar store. The water level was about waist to thigh deep, allowing us to walk around, enjoy the scenery, and play volleyball. It might be fun to bring a ball that doesn't get blown away easily.
For turtle watching, we moved from the sandbar and observed from the boat. We saw many turtles, which was exciting, but it was a bit difficult to take photos due to the distance.
Lunch consisted of hamburgers on the boat. If you line up early, you can enjoy your meal at a leisurely pace. Since the portions are light, those with big appetites might want to bring something extra.
The captain's guitar performance was also a nice touch. For snorkeling around the coral, in addition to the snorkel, we borrowed life jackets and fins. If the staff can share some bread, you can feed the fish, which is sure to be a thrilling experience. You can swim around the coral and enjoy the beautiful scenery with your friends.
The weather was decent. Some members got stung by jellyfish, including my daughter, but we received medication and it was no problem. Please note that you cannot flush toilet paper on the boat. It's important to be considerate and keep it clean for everyone, but it might be tough for those who are very particular about cleanliness.
On the return bus, plastic covers were set on the seats. Even if you can't change clothes, there's no need to worry. (Remember to bring some cash to leave a tip when disembarking.)
Instead of worrying about "the weather not being perfect," "the jellyfish," or "the restroom situation," it's better to focus on enjoying what you can. If you can have a good time, the staff's spirits will lift too, making the experience even more enjoyable.
初ハワイなので、ネット情報を参考にして申し込みました。
送迎の連絡は丁寧で、迎えの場所及び時間の変更連絡はホテルにいただけました。女性はラッシュガードが必須。乗船時の風からも守ってくれます。男は気合です。
私たちの時は大きな観光バスでのお迎えにて快適に移動。ボート出航場所でトイレを済ませます。ボート乗船は参加人数が多く2隻に分乗。日本人ばかりのボートとインターナショナルなボートに分かれました。個人的にはインターナショナルが良かったのですが、家族の希望で日本人ばかりの船に。元気で丁寧な説明をいただき気分も盛り上がりました。
サンドバーでは、水中眼鏡とシュノーケルを借りて入水します。スマホは必ず100均のでいいので防水ケースに。腰~太ももくらいまで水位がありましたが、歩いたり、景色を楽しんだり、バレーを楽しんだり。風に飛ばされにくいボールなんかを持っていくと面白いかも。
ウミガメウォッチは、サンドバーから移動してボート上からウォッチします。たくさんのウミガメを見て盛り上がりますが、やや距離があるので写真におさめるのは困難です。
ランチは、船上でハンバーガーでした。早めに並ぶとゆっくり食べられます。軽めなので、大食漢の方は何か持って行った方がいいかもしれません。
船長(?)のギターの弾き語りもいい感じです。
サンゴの周りのシュノーケリングは、シュノーケルの他に、ライフジャケットとフィンを借りて入水します。もし、スタッフの方からパンを分けてもらえれば、魚への餌やりができます。魚の勢いに驚くこと必至。シュノーケリングでサンゴの周りを一周できます。きれいなサンゴを仲間と一緒に楽しめます。
お天気はまずまず。クラゲに刺されるメンバーもいて、娘もその被害に合いましたが薬をいただき問題なし。船上のトイレは紙を流すことができません。お互いのためにきれいに使う意識も大事ですが、潔癖症の方は厳しいかも。
帰りのバスの席にはビニールがセットされています。着替えることができなくても心配ありません。(下船時に気持ちをチップとして残すので、お金を忘れないように)
「天気がピーカンじゃない」とか「クラゲが~」とか「トイレが~」とか考えるよりも、楽しめることを楽しんだ者勝ちです。楽しそうに過ごせたら、スタッフの気持ちも上がって、もっと楽しく過ごせるかも。

This tour is highly recommended. Starting with the pick-up from the hotel to the check-in.
Our pilot was great. She had a lot of interesting information during the sightseeing flight.
It is important to buy the protective case for the mobile phone. A good investment.

Among the two female staff members at the reception, one spoke Japanese. The two male staff members who joined us on the boat only spoke English, but they were very energetic throughout the trip, using gestures to keep us entertained, so it was fine even if we didn't understand English.
On the day of the activity, there was a downpour in the morning, and the weather wasn't great. We went parasailing despite the boat rocking heavily. I regretted not taking motion sickness medication, thinking I would be fine since I had never felt seasick before...
While we were flying, it was okay, but when other groups were parasailing, the boat was rocking violently the whole time, which was the toughest part.
There were a total of five groups of customers, including us: three Japanese couples, one young foreign couple, and one elderly couple. One Japanese man was in a groggy state from start to finish, which was unfortunate...
The view of Hawaii's cityscape and Diamond Head from above while parasailing was amazing!!! This part was truly enjoyable!!
During the flight, the staff took photos for us. About 50 photos were saved to a memory card for $30. However, we were informed about this just before taking off, which felt a bit sudden.
"Photos for $30! What do you want to do?!"
"Y-yes!"
"YEAH! GO!"
...something like that. It would be better to decide in advance whether to say YES or NO. The purchased photos turned out very beautiful, and I was glad I bought them!
Parasailing was incredibly fun! However, I should not have overestimated my physical condition and should have taken motion sickness medication. Otherwise, like me, you might end up spending the afternoon sleeping in the hotel...
受付スタッフの女性2人のうち、1人は日本語の話せる方でした。
一緒に船に乗る男性スタッフ2人は英語オンリーでしたが、終始テンションが高くて(笑)身振り手振りで楽しませてくれたので、英語が分からなくても大丈夫でした。
当日は朝からスコールがあり、天気はイマイチ。沖に出て船が大きく揺れる中でパラセーリングを強行。
乗り物酔いをしたことなかったため、自分は大丈夫と思って酔い止めを飲んでいなかった事を後悔…
飛んでる最中は大丈夫でしたが、他のグループがパラセーリングをしている時はずーっと激しく揺れているのでそれが一番辛かったです。
お客さんは私たち含めて日本人カップル3組、外国人の若いカップル1組、老夫婦1組の計5組。
日本人の男性1人が最初から最後までグロッキー状態で可哀想でした…
パラセーリング中の、上から眺めるハワイの街並みやダイヤモンドヘッドは最高!!!この時間は本当に楽しかったです!!
飛んでる最中はスタッフさんが写真を撮ってくれます。
約50枚をメモリーカードに入れて$30。
ただ、飛ぶ直前にその案内をされるので、今それ聞くの?って感じでした(笑)
「写真$30で買えるよ!どうする?!」
「い、いえーす!」
「YEAH!GO!」
…みたいな(笑)
あらかじめYESかNOか決めておいた方が良さそう。購入した写真はとても綺麗で、買ってよかったです!
パラセーリング凄く楽しかったです!
でも自分の体調を過信せず、素直に酔い止めを飲むべき。
でないと、私のようにその日の午後はホテルで寝て過ごすことになってしまいます…(笑)

We have been too the Island 6 times and decided to do this excursion. We had an awesome time. Mike was great and all staff very personable. Saw Mante Rays, turtles and lots of colorful fish. Our only complaint was that they should use better beef for the burgers. Over all we highly recommend this tour you will not be disappointed.

The sandbar and snorkeling were both amazing. I think it can be enjoyed in any scenario, whether you're with a partner, colleagues, or family. I was moved to see sea turtles up close!
サンドバー、シュノーケリング共に最高でした。カップル、同僚、家族、どのパターンでも楽しめると思います。海カメを間近で見れて感動しました!

We participated as a couple, and even without speaking any English, we had no problem enjoying ourselves! The staff, including the transportation team, were very friendly! For those who are a bit anxious, here are some recommendations:
1. If you're worried about the language barrier! The Google Translate app is very useful.
2. If you're concerned about getting seasick! I recommend BONINE (motion sickness medication), which is sold at ABC Store!
夫婦で参加しましたが、
英語全く喋れなくても
問題なく楽しめましたよ!
送迎の方も含め、とても気さくな方々
でした!
心配症な方へ、以下オススメですが
①それでも言葉の壁が心配な方!
グーグル翻訳のアプリ便利です
②船酔いしないか心配な方!
ABC ストアでも売っている
BONINE(酔い止め薬)がオススメ!

I had a great time.
It was a one-hour electric-assist mountain bike tour, and the hour flew by.
The explanations were in English, but even if you don't understand English, you can get the gist from the video visuals.
Since it's electric, you can ride smoothly and it's really enjoyable.
However, the trails are steep, and because of the fast pace, it does require some stamina.
Aside from the biking, the waiting time after arriving at Kualoa Ranch and after the activity was quite long.
There is a souvenir shop, but we finished looking around sooner than expected, so we ended up napping on a bench.
I wish we could have used our time more effectively.
とても楽しかったです。
1時間コースの電動アシスト付きマウンテンバイクツアーでしたが、あっという間の1時間でした。
説明も英語ですが、英語が分からなくてもビデオの映像見ながらの説明なので何となくわかります。
電動だから爽快に走れるし気持ちいいです。
でも険しい道なこと、進んでいくスピードが速いから体力は使います。
自転車以外はクアロア牧場に到着してからと、アクティビティが終わってからの待ち時間がとても長かったです。
お土産のショップはありますが、案外すぐに見終わってしまうので、私たちはベンチで昼寝をしていました。
もっと時間を上手に使えたらよかったと思います。

Several acquaintances have had bicycle accidents in Hawaii, so I suspected that the front and rear brakes might be reversed compared to Japan, and I was right. In Japan, the right lever is for the front brake and the left lever is for the rear brake, but in Hawaii, it's the opposite. The key is to be very aware of that and to apply both brakes simultaneously.
However, the activity was fantastic! Next time, I want to try horseback riding!
知り合いが複数、ハワイで自転車転倒事故起こしているため、もしかしたら前輪後輪ブレーキが日本と逆ではないかと予想していたら、図星でした。日本では右→前輪、左→後輪ですが、ハワイは逆でした。ポイントはそこを強く意識しながら両方同時にブレーキ掛けることです。
でも、アクティビティは最高でした!こんどは乗馬にチャレンジしたいです!
