From pick up to drop off we had a fantastic day out, disappointed that the Arizona memorial was closed due to the damaged supports however we did get to view it from the boat that takes you out, our driver Marlon was very knowledgeable about honolulu and surrounding area, we had time to visit downtown including the Iolani palace, 5 o headquarters and chinatown, I would have no hesitation in recommending this tour and would do it again.

We challenged ourselves to the longest 150m ride as a family. At first, I thought it might be too high, but once I jumped, it wasn't that bad and felt really good. It seems that up to three people can ride together. The view was amazing!
I did feel a bit nauseous because it swayed quite a bit. The boat was also moving fast, so those who are prone to motion sickness should be cautious.
Photos were available for $30, and tips were separate.
家族で一番長い150mに挑戦しました。最初は高すぎたかなと思いましたが飛んでみればそれほどでもなくとても気持ちかったです。3人まで一緒に乗れるみたいです。景色が最高でした!
結構左右に振られたので途中気持ち悪くなってしまいました。船の中でもスピードが出てましたので、酔いやすい人は要注意です。

I participated in a plan with hotel pickup on Sunday morning. A Japanese female staff member came to pick us up, and out of the 12 participants, 10 were Japanese.
At the beach, three staff members assisted us, so for beginners, joining a group is more than enough. When the waves came, they pushed the boards and signaled with simple Japanese phrases like "Paddle!" and "Stand up!" The lessons took place close to the shore where it was just shallow enough to stand. That said, we were in Hawaii, and there were plenty of waves for practice. After a while, some skilled participants were taken out to the ocean by one of the veteran staff members.
We were a couple in our 40s and 50s, the oldest participants. We usually exercise by hiking, but it required quite a bit of stamina. The other participants were mostly in their 30s, and you could clearly see who was tired and who wasn't. If you get tired, you can just float in the sea, but if you want to ride the waves, you obviously have to paddle out each time.
As mentioned in other experiences, there are no lockers for valuables. Everyone just places their belongings on a shelf in a visible area, but there always seem to be at least two staff members in the shop, and since it's a store, there are customers coming and going. It's best to bring only the minimum necessary, like some dollars for tips, to feel secure. There are no separate changing areas, so on the way back, you'll be putting clothes over your wet swimsuit. When I read about this in other reviews, I thought, "Oh no," but in the Hawaiian sun and atmosphere, it didn't bother me at all.
ホテル送迎付きのプランで、日曜の午前中に参加しました。日本人の女性スタッフが迎えに来てくれ、参加者12人中10人が日本人でした。
海では3人ものスタッフが付いてくれましたので、初心者にはグループ参加で十分です。波が来たらボードを押してくれ、「漕いでー!」「立ってー!」とカタコトの日本語で合図してくれます。レッスンは、ギリギリ、足で立てる岸辺に近い場所で行われます。だからと言ってそこはハワイ、練習には十分な波がきます。しばらくすると、上手な数人は、ベテランらしきスタッフの1人が沖まで連れて行ってくれていました。
当方40代と50代の夫婦で、最年長参加者でした。普段から登山をして運動しているのですが、相当な体力が要りました。他の皆さんは30代までですが、疲れている様子の人とそうでない人がはっきり分かれていました。疲れたらずっと海に漂っていればいい訳ですが、波に乗りたければ、当然、毎回パドリングして沖まで行かなければなりません。
他の体験談にもある通り、貴重品を入れるロッカーなどはありません。目立つ場所にある棚に全員の荷物を置くだけですが、お店にはいつも2人以上のスタッフが要るようですし、お店なのでお客さんの出入りもあります。最低限必要な、チップ用のドルだけを持って行かれると安心です。
仕切られた着替えるところもないので、帰りは濡れた水着の上に服を着て帰ります。他の体験談を読んだときは「えーっ」と思いましたが、ハワイの日差しと雰囲気では全く気になりませんでしたよ。

It was my first horseback riding experience, and the explanations during the car ride were very clear and included some humor, making it easy to understand. I was able to enjoy the ride.
I was worried about getting car sick due to the bad roads in Hawaii, but the driving was very careful, and I was able to sleep soundly on the way back, haha.
For your reference, it is mentioned that long pants are preferable, but since my legs didn't touch the horse's hair directly, shorts were fine as well. Large bags were not allowed.
Selfie sticks are not allowed, but they took photos along the coast, which made for great memories.
I love Hawaii even more now. I would like to participate in the horseback riding course again next time.
初めての乗馬経験でしたが、車の移動中にユーモアも交えながら丁寧に解説していただきとても分かりやすかったです。

We participated as a couple.
The instructions were in English, but they explained everything in a way we could understand, and we enjoyed ourselves throughout.
After moving to the sea turtle point, we had plenty of fun snorkeling, and after getting out of the water, we went sailing towards Diamond Head. We were super excited to see sea turtles for the first time while sailing.
Even though we weren't far from the beach, there were a lot of sea turtles.
We were able to take pictures with the GoPro we brought.
The sailing was faster than we expected and felt really good; I'm so glad we participated.
(It was mentioned that fins would incur a fee, but it turns out there was no charge. In fact, I think without fins, unless you're very confident in your swimming, you would likely be swept away.)
夫婦で参加しました。
英語のみの案内でしたが、こちらが分かるように説明して下さり、終始楽しめました。
海亀のポイントまで移動してからたっぷりシュノーケリングを楽しみ、海から上がってからはダイヤモンドヘッドの方までセーリング。初めての海亀にセーリングに大興奮。
ビーチからそんなに離れていないのに、海亀もたくさんいました。
持参したgoproで撮影もできました。
セーリングは思った以上にスピードがありとても気持ち良く、参加出来て本当に良かったです。
(フィンは有料と記載がありましたが、お金はかからないそうです。
むしろフィンがないと余程泳ぎに自信がない限り、流されてしまうと思います。)

We were lucky to have good weather. The water level was up to my waist, but I was able to walk.
Snorkeling was fun too. (Even though there was a sea turtle right there, for some reason I couldn't see it...) The staff were polite and kind. If there are many people, you might be split into two groups, so there's a chance you could end up in the group that has lunch just before snorkeling. I think those who are sensitive to the boat and waves should be careful. I held back on what I wanted to eat and only had a little, haha.
The photo was taken while the smartphone was still in a zippered bag I bought at a Japanese Daiso. It turned out okay.
運良く天候に恵まれました。
腰まで水位がある状態でしたが、歩くことができました。
シュノーケルも楽しかったです。
(せっかく海ガメがすぐそこにいたのに、なぜか私は見れず…。)
スタッフの方も丁寧で親切でした。
人数が多いと、二手に分かれるため、シュノーケルの直前にご飯になるグループに当たる可能性があります。船や波の揺れに弱い方は要注意だと思います。私は食べたいところをぐっと抑えて少量にしました笑。

I've done ziplining a few times in Japan, and it's really fun because of the long distances. Once you get used to it, you can try going upside down, so it's not just about crossing over. Unlike other zip lines, there are also parts where you climb with ropes and drop down, which adds to the fun. The water, nuts, and bananas (mostly brown) available along the way are also a nice touch. It's all in English, but if you can understand a little, I definitely recommend giving it a try because it's a lot of fun!
日本でも何回かジップラインはやりましたが、距離が長いので、楽しいです。
慣れてきたら、逆さにやってみたりと、ただ渡るだけではないので、そこもポイント。
他のジップラインとは違って、ロープで登ったり、落下したりとジップラインだけじゃないのも楽しいです。
途中途中にある、水やナッツ、バナナ(ほぼ茶色)も嬉しいポイントです。
英語Onlyなのですが、多少理解できる人ならば、是非、楽しいのでトライしてみてください。

It was a nice day with a pleasant breeze. The previous days had been cloudy and rainy due to a storm, so it felt refreshing. Although it was an additional charge, I purchased the photos taken on an SD card, and after parasailing, I enjoyed looking at those photos on my PC. Previously, when I participated in another option, I also received a paid photo SD, but at that time, I was given the SD card, a receipt, and a paper with contact information in case there were any issues with installing or downloading the data. This time, I only paid in cash on the boat, so I felt a bit anxious about what to do if there were any problems. However, I was glad that I was able to view the photos without any issues.
天気の良い日で程よく風もあり
前日まではストームの関係で曇天や雨天の日々が続いてたので気分爽快でした。
有料となりますがSDカードに撮影した写真を入れて下さり購入して
PCにインストールしてパラセーリング後もその写真を見て楽しみました。
以前、他のオプションに参加した時も同じように有料写真SDだったのですがその時はSDと領収書ともし万が一データーがインストールやダウンロード出来ない場合の連絡先など書かれた紙を渡されました。今回は現金を船の上で支払っただけだったので何か問題があった時の対応などはどぉすれば…と少し不安になりました。

Despite my doubts, I thought I wouldn't be able to see dolphins. Honestly, I kept thinking that way until I actually experienced the tour.
On the day of the tour, I managed to wake up my sleepy body at 5 AM and headed to the meeting point, then boarded the bus to our destination. It took about an hour to reach the port where we would board the boat, but before I knew it, we arrived while the guide from Dolphin University was energetically sharing stories about how to enjoy the ocean.
After preparing to board the boat, we set off. The boat, carrying about 40 participants and around 8 staff members (two of whom were Japanese), quickly made its way out to sea. After singing a song dedicated to the ocean during the journey, we put on our goggles and fins, and soon spotted dolphins in the distance. We maneuvered the boat as close as possible, and everyone jumped into the water to start swimming.
Since it was my first time using fins and goggles, I was exhausted after just a little swimming, but I motivated myself by thinking, "There are dolphins nearby!" As I pushed forward, the staff member swimming ahead suddenly stopped. I wondered what was happening when I heard, "Look down!!" I quickly looked through my goggles into the water, and there were 7 or 8 dolphins swimming slowly just a few meters away.
I was so excited that I momentarily struggled to breathe, but I was too captivated to care, my eyes wide open as I watched the dolphins. It was just a few seconds, but that scene is etched in my memory so clearly that I can't imagine forgetting it.
After that, we tried again, but unfortunately, we couldn't have the same experience... While I was feeling down on the boat, the dolphins from earlier approached us and swam alongside the moving boat. There were even smaller dolphins jumping, which was incredibly exciting.
After enjoying our time with the dolphins, we went snorkeling at a spot where sea turtles were said to be, and we hit the jackpot, seeing three sea turtles right in front of us.
Finally, we all shyly danced the Hawaiian dance on the boat, and when we arrived back at the port, it was bittersweet to head home. They dropped me off near my hotel around noon, and I spent the afternoon enjoying Hawaii in that joyful mood.
At first, I was really anxious about whether I would enjoy it, but I had a much more valuable experience than I imagined, and above all, I would love to participate in this tour again the next time I go to Hawaii. I highly recommend it for anyone who loves the ocean, dolphins, and sea turtles.
Definitely experience something you can only do in Hawaii!
なんだかんだ言いつつ、どうせイルカは見れないんだろう。正直、自分は実際にツアーを体験するまで、ずっとそうやって考えていました。
当日、早朝の5時になんとか眠気いっぱいの体を起こして集合場所に向かい、目的地へ向かうバスに乗り込みました。
乗り込む船がある港までは大体1時間ほどですが、ツアーをガイドしてくれるイルカ大学の方が、体験談を交えてどうやって海を楽しむべきかを元気いっぱいに話してくれるうちにいつの間にか着いていました。
港についた後は船に乗り込む準備を終えたら、出港。約40人の参加者と8名ほどのスタッフさん(内二名は日本人の方)を乗せた船はあっという間に港から遠くの沖へ到着します。
移動中に海へ捧げる歌を歌った後、ゴーグルやフィンを装着していると、早速遠くの方にイルカを発見。なるべく近くまで船で行ってから全員が海へ飛び込み、泳いで移動を開始しました。
私はフィンやゴーグルの扱いが初だったため、少し泳いだだけでバテバテでしたが、近くにイルカがいる!と自分を奮い立たせなんとか進んでいると、前を泳いでいたスタッフさんが急停止。何かと思っていたら、「下見て!!」という声が聞こえたので急いで海の中をゴーグルで見ると、そこには7~8匹のイルカがほんの数メートル先をゆっくりと泳いでました。
興奮で息が一瞬少し苦しくなってしまいましたが、そんなことは気にならないくらい目を見開いてイルカを見ていました。
ほんの数秒でしたが、あの光景が脳みそから消えてしまうことなんて考えられないくらい、はっきりと焼き付きました。
その後は再度アタックしましたが残念ながら同じ体験はできず……と船で落ち込んでいたら、先ほどのイルカが移動中の船に近づいてきてくれて一緒に並走。小さめにジャンプするイルカもいて大興奮でした。
イルカとの触れあいを楽しんだ後はウミガメがいるというポイントでシュノーケリングをして、これも大当たりで3匹のウミガメを目の前で見ることができました。
最後は、船の上で恥ずかしがりながらもみんなで楽しくハワイの踊りを踊って、港に着いたら名残惜しくもそのまま帰路へ。12時頃にホテル周辺へ送ってくれたので、午後も私はその楽しい気分のままハワイを満喫しました。
初めは本当に楽しめるのか不安ばかりでしたが、想像以上に貴重な体験ができましたし、何より次回ハワイへ行くとなったらまた参加したいと思えるツアーでした。海が好きで、しかもイルカやウミガメも好きな方ならとてもおススメします。
是非、ハワイでしかできない体験を。

It was my first parasailing experience! I was a bit scared and chose the lowest height of 110m, but I might have been okay with going higher…
Before taking off, they check if it's okay to drop you into the sea (laughs). Of course, if you say it's okay, they play around by lowering and raising you. I took photos with a fun foreign family and a honeymoon couple, but the best pictures were taken by the staff, so I bought the data.
A friend who gets motion sickness took anti-nausea medication just in case, so they were totally fine. However, the couple we shared the boat with got really seasick, and it was sad to see. Since it can be quite bumpy, I think it's a good idea to bring motion sickness medication if you're worried.
The shuttle staff and the boat crew don't speak Japanese, but they are kind.

I was recommended to go by a friend who had previously visited Hawaii. However, it wasn't planned from Japan; I just booked a two-hour horseback riding course the day before. In conclusion, it was incredibly fun!!
I had seen past reviews mentioning that "Japanese people are ignored" or "the attitude is bad," so I was a bit prepared for that, but it was nothing like that at all. Even during the last hours from 3:30 PM to 5:30 PM when everyone might be tired, our guide (I think her name was EMA?) not only introduced the usual spots but also taught us various things and communicated with us individually (like asking a bit of Japanese, "What did you see? I want to visit Japan!," etc.), making it a wonderful experience! There might be some variability depending on the guide, but even without a guide, the luxury of riding a horse through that magnificent nature is definitely worth it.
- If you have more than an hour before or after the activity, taking a walk on Kualoa Beach was also pleasant! If you still have time left, there are benches scattered around the premises, so relaxing there can be a nice way to pass the time.
- The horseback riding helmets were indeed quite smelly as rumored (laughs), so if you're concerned about that, I recommend bringing a cap or towel to wear inside.
以前、ハワイに行った友達からオススメされて行ってきました。ただ日本から予定していたわけではなく、前日に空いてるアクティビティを、と乗馬2時間コースだけ予約して行きました。結論、最高に楽しかったです!!
過去の口コミをみて「日本人は無視される」とか、「態度悪い」的内容があったので少し覚悟はしていたのですが、そんなこと全然なく15:30〜17:30と最後の疲れているであろう時間にも関わらず、ガイドさん(たしか、EMAさん?)は定型のスポット紹介などだけでなく、いろんなことを教えてくれ、個別にもコミュニケーションも取ってくれ(ちょっと日本語や、どこを見た?私日本行ってみたいんだ!などなど)素敵な体験になりました!ガイドさんによって当たり外れは多少あるかもですが、最悪ガイドなしでも馬に乗ってあの雄大な自然の中を散歩する贅沢は十分価値があると思います^^
・アクティビティ前後、1時間以上時間があるなら少し歩いてクアロアビーチを散歩するのも気持ちよかったです!それでも時間が余れば敷地内にちょこちょこベンチがあるのでまったりするといい時間つぶしになると思います。
・乗馬用ヘルメットは噂通りだいぶ臭かったので(苦笑)気になる方は、中に被れるキャップかタオルの持参をおすすめします。

I participated in the Atlantis submarine tour that started at 3 PM. The submarine we boarded was the "Standard" one, not the "Premium."
What was disappointing:
When I signed up, the photos on the website were very beautiful, and I was hoping to see something just as stunning. Unfortunately, the water wasn't as clear, and I couldn't see as vividly as I had hoped. The submarine offers multilingual support with free headphones, but my headphone jack seemed to be broken, and I couldn't hear anything. The crew responded quickly, and I was able to listen through another jack. The Premium submarine might have better performance, so I would like to try that one next time. We took a boat to reach the submarine, and that boat was really rocky! On windy days, those who are prone to motion sickness should be cautious.
What was good:
Under the sea, there were not only fish but also sunken ships and airplane wrecks, making it a treasure trove of sights! We were able to see a lot of fish gathering around those sites. My elementary school son was very excited to see a sunken ship for the first time. My 3-year-old daughter seemed to get a bit bored towards the end. On the boat to the submarine, snacks, drinks, and souvenirs were available for purchase, which was nice. The crew members were very cheerful and kind; when my 3-year-old daughter struggled to go down the ladder, one of them carried her down.
Although the "Premium" submarine was closed for maintenance this time, I would like to try it next time.
午後3時からスタートのアトランティス潜水艦ツアーに参加しました。
乗り込んだ船は、「プレミアム」ではなくて「スタンダード」の潜水艦です。
残念だったところ:
申し込みをしたときのWEBページの写真がとても綺麗で、こんなに綺麗に見えるのかなあ、と期待して行きましたが、残念ながら、ここまで水も澄んでおらず鮮明に見ることができませんでした。潜水艦は無料のヘッドホンで多言語対応しているのですが、私のヘッドホンの差し込みプラグは故障していたのか音が出ませんでした。クルーの方がすぐに対応してくれてほかのプラグから聞くことはできました。プレミアムの潜水艦のほうが性能がいいのかもしれないので、今度はそちらに乗りたいです。潜水艦に乗り込む沖までは船で行くのですが、その船がすごい揺れました!風が強い日はとくに、乗り物酔いしやすい方は要注意です。
良かったところ:
海の中には、魚だけではなく沈没した船や飛行機の機体なども眠っておりみどころは満載です!そこに集まるお魚もとてもたくさん見ることができました。小学生の息子は沈没船を初めて見てとても興奮していました。3歳の娘は後半は少し飽きてしまったようでした。潜水艦に行くまでの船の中では、軽食や飲み物、お土産を買うこともできます。それも良かったです。クルーの方はとても明るく親切で、3歳の娘がはしごを降りるのに苦労したときには抱きかかえて降りてくれました。
今回はメンテナンス中でお休み中でしたが、今度は「プレミアム」の潜水艦に乗ってみたいです。

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!!

I was worried about the weather and whether the fireworks would be launched, but they started as scheduled at 8 PM, and I was able to enjoy the fireworks from the boat. After that, we cruised near Diamond Head, and the night view of Waikiki was beautiful.

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!

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。
